Kevin provided an overview of current year results and projections. He also shared that the Pennsylvania state budget has passed and all charter schools will receive a $70k safety grant. Julia asked about any spending requirements for the grant, which does have some limits. It does expire so it should be spent this year. Christi said the grant is for physical safety enhancements and that she and Melissa will discuss future plans. Joselyn inquired about the timeline for releasing of state funds. Kevin responded that it is usually a quick turnaround and he is confident that any funds due will be released by December.
The budget passing should also improve cash flow as the cash position of local districts improves.
Kevin's team has received additional district funding rates. They are still waiting for three school districts to provide their 25-26 Gen Ed and Special Ed rates.
