School Update
Melanie gave a brief update on the state of the School. Had a successful opening to the year. Updated some courses. The school is not playing catch up and is ahead of pace from last year. Held a meeting with SpEducation regarding SPED population.
Final enrollment count is projected to be 1402 come October 1, 2019. We see there is a shortfall from last year because of early enrollment in schools who have high schools attached to their junior high.
Melanie also talked about the 403B audit.
