e e e e 3.0 roll call of school board members all members are present except for you here so there's a quorum and we'll go on to 4.0 communication and reports we'll start
with the finance update hello all hello um well this one is actually a pretty light Finance report um it's it's a little Rosier than we actually are it's showing that we are um at a deficit right now 300,000 just
over just shy of 400,000 um that's not including the payout reports for payroll for the last summer so that is going to change drastically going into next month um just so you know but we are trending exactly where we were last year variance
about about a percent just under a percent total so we are kind of s hitting the budget the where it's supposed to be um then looking ahead at the treasurers report um not too much has changed
either there we are 1.4 million less than we had last year which has been trending with prior months I am keeping a watch on our cash balance going through the summer because that will take a hit here in July when we have our next Bond payment so um those are just
things that are coming in down the pipeline but that's about all I had for tonight any questions questions for Carla thank you 4.2 Administration department head reports superintendent thank you madam
