School Leadership Team Updates

The Finance and Operations Director shared the adjustments to the State budget. The food service program is trending and the tuition out services to separate schools are offset by state.

Both are adjusted in February and March. Patricia suggested in the future to make a forecast budget to approve the final budget only once.

 

A shift grant was made due to ambassadors loss. Secured 100 new enrollments. Enrollment is on track to reach goal for 2024.

 

The preschool construction is on track with a projected start date of September 2023.

 

Lease for preschool was received and will submit for approval at the May board meeting.

K. Erickson arrived at 5:00 PM.
