7:05 Review minutes from October 7, 2010 meeting
7:19 Phil motion/Mary 2nd to accept amended minutes. The motion passed; 11 yea/0 nay/0 abstention.
7:20 Review of School Year-End Expenses and Revenues
Frank Markowitz -Business Admin., since July1, 2010 for SAU 44 to present expenses and revenues. Frank is not familiar with last year’s figures, but estimates this year seems to be on target, within $25-30,000. Special Education was higher with new students with Individual Education Plan (IEP). Transportation is also higher.
He is working on
- a better Excel spreadsheet for accounting with reports each month
- collecting monies from tuition children at CBNA, $7500 already collected
- Credit card payments option
96 students at CBNA, 128 at Dover
Tuition at CBNA is $1700 more than DHS which is $10,700.
$262,000 over budget at CBNA. $370,000 of line item request could go to pay that
There is a discrepancy in the money Nottingham appropriated and actual amount brought in. This is a question that needs research. Did Dept of Rev and Admin give the wrong numbers? It may be a misprint in town report. If so the 1st Q revenue reports should show this discrepancy. Ms27, s13 from deliberative session: BC shows $147,510, sch board put in $0. Doesn’t make sense. Double check with sch board.
Phil/ school report pg 33 of handout shows $147,510 BC and school board 0
8:36pm Mike needs copy of ms24 filed 2010-11 from Frank or DRA
8:40 Frank leaves, thanks from all
