Business Manager
Report
Kosta presented updated financials for review and discussion. The updated financials were substantially unchanged from last month, but with a slightly smaller deficit number. He noted that we still have a deficit for the past operating year. There was some discussion regarding the deficit and the impact of salaries on that budget. Kosta discussed salaries and explained that the peer review basis for salary increases was not able to be implemented this year due to budget constraints. He suggested a $1,000.00 increase for all staff salaries at this time with further increases contingent upon enrollment increases. This was already built into the approved preliminary budget. The subject of teacher contracts was pended until the July meeting.
Current enrollment at CLC was discussed. Kosta Dussias indicated that we had not enrolled any more additional students; however, there has been some interest shown recently
Kosta informed the Board that CLC is eligible for a $23,000 grant for school performance improvement (SRSA-Small Rural School Achievement grant ). He has applied for the grant.
A request was made to engage a firm the annual audit this year. Linda Bergeman made a motion to obtain quotes from three firms and to engage an audit firm at a cost not to exceed $5,000.00. Morgan Ilgen seconded the motion. The Board discussed the expense and the motion passed unanimously.
ECO Report
Pat Hunt gave an update to the Board. She, along with the rest of the CLC staff, continues to work on recruiting efforts. There are currently 80 students that CLC has received registrations from.
Pat informed the Board that Linda Feltman would not be continuing to manage the “BoxTop” collection and submission process as her son has graduated. She suggested that this might be a duty that the parent group could take on, in addition to the ice cream social that she has also organized in the past.
Pat indicated that she continues to work on end of year paperwork. She is currently working on the ACT 48 Plan-Professional Development Plan. She said that the plan would require a toned-down version to fit the size and complexity of the school.
She said the graduation for the departing 8th graders went very well and congratulated Andrea Ryan on leading that project.
“Friends of CLC”
Update
Andrea Ryan gave a report on the activities for the Friends of CLC to the Board. She reported that George Connolly is available to help with lawn maintenance if we need to augment Lupe’s work.
She informed the Board that Friends is willing to distribute a “thanks” to purchasers of fundraisers if they are provided with them. A suggestion for the format of the “thanks” was to include bookmarks similar to the ones prepared by Deb Beck. The Board reviewed the sample bookmark and liked it. They approved having 1000 bookmarks made for this use. She also stated that a calendar for fundraisers would be provided to the Board.
There was no additional
business presented to the Board. Leslie
Aderhold motioned to adjourn, and Andrea Ryan seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at
