TMSA/Fulton County Schools Re-opening
As we make final plans for the return to school for the 2020-2021 school year, administrator is recommending a change to the calendar. August 4 through 7 would be designated as Professional Development Days with school planned activities to prepare staff for safety and instructional strategies related to COVID-19. August 10 would be a teacher work day. This change would move the First Day of School to August 11, 2020. Motion Statement: I move that The Main Street Academy Governing Board approve the revisions to the 2020-2021 school year calendar for action.
Actions:
Amend the 2020-2021 school year calendar to move the first day of school to August 11 and to designate August 4-7 as Professional Development Days with school planned activities to prepare staff for safety and instructional strategies related to COVID-19.
Financial Statements: Monthly budgeted income is $751k and our actual income is $681k. The main reason for being below budget is the ASP and SNP refunds as well as decrease in fundraising due to school closure. Monthly budgted expense is $670k and our actual expenses are $531k. The main reason for being below budget is the decrease in curriculum, student activities, security, and school nutrition program due to school closure. Monthly budgeted net surplus is $81k and our actual surplus is $79k. Due to school facility closure, the reduction in monthly operational expenses contributed heavily to the additional budget surplus. YTD budgeted net surplus is $427k, and our actual surplus is $432k. Net surplus is above budget budget mainly due to $250K of capital outlay reserves in the YTD budget, additional revenue from E-rate & Connections for classrooms.
