The July financial statements were discussed; as it was the new school year the statements were discussed in the broad context noting that the fiscal year was too new to draw any serious conclusions from the budget.

The Committee spent significant time discussion the various projections on enrollment with Dr. Large.  It was noted that several updated projections had been shared with the committee members and the nuances of each were vetted.  Discussion focused on charter target vs budget target and the need to ensure that internal processes were tight, to avoid any leakage.  The Committee stressed the need to have ensure a student retention strategy was in place for the month of September.  It was acknowledged that September has a lot of churn among students -- and the goal to ensure that we maximize enrollment is tied to every family and student feeling seen and touched by the leadership team.  Based on the enrollment projections shared just before the meeting, it appeared the enrollment projections would be less than what the adopted budget incorporated.  Dr. Large assured that it was all hands on deck to ensure returning and new students chose ALCSG as their "home".  

Ms. Moree noted that the audit was underway.  Information requested was being provided and with new auditors, there was a degree of foundational information that needed to be completed at the auditors' request.  She did not see any hurdles and indications are that the audit would be on time, and draft statements would be ready for review in mid-October at the latest.
