The Finance Director reviewed the 24-25 budget due to the updated revenue. Some changes included the Title II PD allocation increase, new tuition out service provider, tax assessment fee (preschool), repainting fence and building cost. The debt service coverage ratio is 1.26 and the days cash on hand is $105.35.
Pat Welborn recommends we should create a reserve account for the aging buildings as time goes on. She agrees this is a prudent step we need to take to become more confident in the numbers and being careful over extending ourselves.
The Executive Director shared the Extended Campus analysis with the Board. He is explained the concept and results the school has provided over the years. After efforts of trying to grow the extended campus it was suggested that we suspend it for the FY25. In the future we should explore homeschool/rural communities and K-5 instead of just middle school.
