Review March Financial Statements

The financials for the month of March have a few anomalies for example I paid the janitorial and It contract for February on March 5th and for March on March 30th because we were shutting down for spring break and the end of the month ended on Saturday. The food service revenue came in because I submitted February and March claim in the same month.  The QBE is $399,403. The projection for the text books was increased to $170,000 to reflect the recent approvals.  Based on this change the $555,144 is the projected surplus.

Discussion surrounding the need for a travel policy.
Discussion regarding the transfer of $350,000 from general fund to contingency and this is to take place before June 30, 2018 so it will be reflected in this budget.

A discussion surrounding the salary scale review there may be a need to adjust to the 3 to 5 year employees and we are budgeting for all the vacancies to cover for future positions.
