Budget

The State modified the enrollment growth cap at the end of August.  We will be funded close to our actual enrollment because our board approved a budget in June showing an expected increase in enrollment.  We still need to get the deferrals covered and I have a term sheet from Charter Capital to share with the Board as a possible way to manage our cash flow due to deferrals expected to start in February.  

 
Budget Summary and Comparison

Recommendations and Information about More On-Site Days

The staff is recommending that we continue with one day a week on-site for the remainder of the semester.  This recommendation is based on continuing concerns around the safety of in-person teaching, difficulties in meeting the needs of both students on-site and families who are choosing to just do distance learning, and the upcoming cold/flu/travel season. 

 

Currently, thirty students are choosing distance learning only.  18%

 

The survey completed by fifty-one families shows the following:

We are only comfortable doing distance learning - 6%

We are comfortable with the current one day a week on-site 22%

We would be comfortable with increasing to two days a week on-site 33%

We would be comfortable with increasing to three or more days a week on-site 39%

 

Letters given to me have been put in the Board Packet and there will be time for parents to speak at the meeting:)  This is a tough issue, but we will get through this together.
