Review and Discussion of the January Financials

B.
Review and Approval of the CCS Budgeting Philosophy
Mr. Lewis led the committee in a review of the proposed CCS Budgeting Philosophy. A majority of the document is based on current practices, including how CCS approves and operates under a single operating budget. Revenue is recognized in each individual charter and expenses shared between schools and distributed to each charter based on enrollment. The CMO will ensure each charter will have available operating funds through intercompany receivables/payables and that ending fund balances for each individual charter maintain five-percent of LCFF revenues for reserves.
K. Granger made a motion to recommend approval of the CCS Budgeting Philosophy by the Board of Directors in Section 4 - Fiscal Controls in the Board Policy Manual.
J. Cummings seconded the motion.
The committee VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
