Prestige
Andrew Cilone presenting JICHS monthly Financial Statement. We currently have 186 days Cash on Hand. 61 days in the Operating Account and 125 days in the Ameriprise Account.
2nd Reading of FY25 Budget
The newest revision of the budget reflects the $8,000 salary increase that CCSD wanted versus the $7,500 salary increase. Mr. Thorn also double-checked that the non-teacher positions match the CCSD salary scale. All of the salaries have been updated to match the CCSD budget. With the projected per pupil allocation increasing we should still have a comfortable surplus by the end of next school year.
Motion made to table the vote for approval of the FY25 second budget reading until after the second Executive Session.

0.5 FTE Band Position
For consideration. ($60,000) This position would work 0.5 time at Camp Road Middle School and 0.5 time James Island Charter High School to help build a community and to keep continuity when the students are promoted from Camp Road Middle School to James Island Charter High School. The $60,000 is our half of what the position would cost. Camp Road Middle School already has the position posted.
