Finance Committee Report

Ankit presented the budget vs actual spread sheet.

Ankit expressed that we are in a deficit because we have not received grant funding.

(ESSR grant, Title 1 Grant, Title 2 Grant).

Are there amendments available to address line items that came in higher. (Kathy Ann Young)

Dr.Bostic answered, yes.

Janelle Wilhite provided a briefing from May 29, 2024, finance committee meeting before the finance committee presented the amendment.

There was robust discussion regarding the movement of money.

Board members asked for clarity for the movement of money on the spread sheet.

Roberta Walker stated that we need a correct budget for the board to adequately move forward.

Janelle Wilhite reminded that we need the spread sheets to be summarized and correspond with the narrative.

Kathy Ann Young asked Ankit if he has a clear understanding of what is being asked of him. She mentioned the consistency in the board's request of the same items.

Janelle Wilhite suggested that we pause on the budget amendments until they are done properly.

Dr. Bostic presented the proposed amendments.

Kathy Ann Young questioned the proposed amount for the 36 certified teachers at $943,423. She expressed that the amount is too large. She also expressed her concern for certified staff only are being considered for $2500 raise, considering that this is a school that employs certified and uncertified.

Dr. Bostic explained the different proposals. One for certified teachers, one for all teachers, and one for all staff members and neither has been selected at this time.
