Financial Statement & CCSD Charter School Formula

Prestige December Finance Report presented by Andrew Cilone.

Prestige Report

We are currently halfway through the school year. Our cash on hand in General operating is currently at 52 days and cash on hand in Ameriprise is 95 days for a total of 147 days cash on hand, a decrease from 158 days last month, primarily due to ongoing construction costs, which we expect to end soon.

Enrollment numbers for budgeting purposes were adjusted from 1584 to account for early winter graduates and our students currently enrolled in program schools.

CCSD Charter School Formula (Per Pupil Allocation)

We received our new per pupil allocation from CCSD. That number came in at $10,141.00, which was $140 per person higher than was expected.

Captial Projects Review

Informational

We discussed potential athletic projects, including installing practice lights for both fields—one beyond the tennis courts and the other behind the stadium. One of these fields has already been paid for, and with the reimbursement from the track project, the cost of the second field will be covered. The lights for both fields would be LED, providing long-term cost savings for the school. The ongoing stadium project. CCSD has increased this budget.

Another project on the list is upgrading the lighting in the PAC, transitioning from incandescent to LED bulbs.

The other project the was on the list is desire to build two science classrooms. This was approved and permitted before we had to shelf it.

The preforming arts teachers would like another classroom in their space.


Science Classroom Addition

Given the current budget, the Board could consider this project again. The permitting will still be valid when the baseball project concludes at the end of February. We would keep Atlantic South as our project management company. Mr. Thorn and Henry Schumacher would meet with representatives from Clancy Wells and Hill Construction to get updated realistic quotes to present to the Board.

Motion made to table the vote for the Science Classroom addition.
