II. Finance

A.

Review Monthly Financial Reports

November is on track, spending as expected. An elevator repair in December is likely going to bring us over our facility budget. 
Lynne gave an update on enrollment, it is on track. We have begun recruiting for next school year and have already received online applications. There have been some personnel changes at the school but nothing that is having a significant impact on budget.

Lisa asked clarifying questions about the funds in Friends of VPCS. The management fee will be paid in two payments from Friends of VPCS to VPCS.

 
We need to start thinking about a capital reserve to support capital expenses for the building. 

III. Other Business

A.

DUA Payment

HR Knowledge had the wrong rate for our unemployment insurance which has resulted in a debt that VPCS owes to the state of $54k. They have agreed to credit our account $2,500 which is a more than the amount of interest for the EMAC portion of the liability.
Veritas also drew on the line of credit and plans to pay back on the line over a 6-12 month basis.

Compensation Study

Rachel gave an update on the compensation and sustainability study. More details to come.
