Discussion RE: Finance Committee

Resurgence Hall Charter School: Presentation includes monthly financial presentation, balance sheet, budget vs. actuals, cashflow, income statement, YTD credit card register, financial workbook, November, December, and January financials, November, December, and January bank reconciliations and registers -which includes all banking accounts, credit cards, and checks. Review of FY24 Balance Sheet.

  • Modify language discussion of financials for the months.
  • January Financial Package
  • 73K reduction in operating vs. December
  • RHPA's Net income decreased by 73K due to personnel- retention bonuses that were given out in January which had to be reallocated, staff transitions in semester 2, and the replacement of 2 copiers which are cheaper to purchase than to lease due to the amount of copies we make, will capitalize the copiers. Historically, CSP grants have purchased the copiers in the past. This is the first time we’ve used state funds to purchase copiers. SPED is trending high and may continue throughout the year but is based on parents wanting evaluations and depending on the outcome of the evaluation. 
  • Healthy cash balance
  • 90/100 SCSC Financial
