Financial Report
M.Eisenberg shared that the Governor released his January proposal and it was thought to maybe be conservative, In April the budget came up short so now the forecast is that the January budget is about what the funding numbers will be, Governor makes his final decision tomorrow. Attendance has stayed up and improved, so ADA funding increased, but reduced/unduplicated account numbers are lower. School will look at reasons why this number may have changed.
Mental health funds will bring in more this year and Fundraising will come in over budget with large single donation
Expenses that were over are due to costs associated with staffing PE and LVN.
S.Hanson arrived in person 4:06
