Josh Kemp discussed the monthly fiscal report. Given the current state of the school's current charter he highlighted a few points:
1. There is a decrease in daily attendance( 25% by P2 period)
2. As of now, the end of the school year will end in a large fund balance
3. School is able to financially close out the remainder of the school year without financial burden.
