Business Reports

Financial Report by Katie Saul
The director of business services reported that collections exceeded initial projections due to higher assessed property values in the community, prompting adjustments to state school fund projections. Expenditure savings were noted, primarily due to timing delays in invoices, especially for transportation, which are expected to balance out in future reports. The current fund balance remains stable at approximately 11.9%, with anticipated adjustments once delayed invoices are processed.
