The report as of September 10.
ADA was based on 93% and has been updated to 95%.
Look at additional cuts.
September already higher than we thought.
Based on current enrollment, and cuts we can make it through the year. If we don't make the cuts, we will run out of cash.
When sending materials to Rosemawr, confirm the process for approving updated budgets.
Looking at specific items:
Janitorial and PG&E trending higher.
- check amount of time with janitorial
- Check on adjusting PG&E billing and assessment
- Charter Tech services
Review materials and supplies
- trending higher
- 35,000 for lunch
If we continue with cuts, will still end the year with an $847,000 deficit.
Clarify staffing vacancies. Make sure the cuts are approved and reflected in the budget.
