Article III
1. Consideration of the MSAD 12 financial statements for:
• September 2011
What action will the Board take regarding the August financial statement?
We are at 75% and in good shape. We have added a couple of lines in the budget that were not originally budgeted by mistake. This allows us to track the expenditure and to be sure it is budgeted next year (for example, special ed contracted services which is an annual cost that was left out). This will not affect the bottom line of the article. Group health insurance is under due to July and August payments of employees whose positions were cut.
