IV. REPORTS

A.

Staff Report

Mr. Lewis shared that AAS/CCS is still waiting to hear about their Funding Determinations from the California Department of Education.  The forms were submitted in January.  We are hoping to make the April 5 Advisory Commission on Charter Schools agenda, otherwise, we would be heard at their June meeting.  He also shared that we are starting to receive individual donations through our new Giving page.  The first was a $100/month recurring gift to the Annual Fund to support scholar engagement activities.

V. NEW BUSINESS

A.

Review and Discussion of the Second Interim Reports

Mr. Lewis and Mr. Scott Warner, School Business Manager from CSMC, led the committee in a review of the second interim reports.  It was noted these were submitted on March 13 to our authorizers and we have fielded a few follow-up questions on revenue.  The reports reflect information through January 31, and we are tracking to expense projections.

B.

Review and Discussion of the February Financials

Mr. Lewis and Mr. Scott Warner, School Business Manager from CSMC, led the committee in a review of the February financials.  Mr. Cummings asked about the monthly expenditures.  Mr. Warner shared we are spending roughly $600,000/month though we would need to review the data as there have been several one-time expenditures this year.  Dr. Granger suggested this was a good piece of information to share with the full Board of Directors at their upcoming March meeting.
