We are eligible to participate in the Indiana Learns Grant, which matches school funds to provide virtual student tutoring. School administration does not feel that this is especially helpful. We have 24 students who are eligible and staff has reviewed each of those students and they are all being addressed. We will continue to review this to see if it becomes helpful to our eligible students.
Thanked students and staff for the wonderful Christmas music programs this year. There appears to be holiday cheer throughout the buildings with decorations in hallways and doorways and bulletin boards.

In the spring of 2022, a Greenhouse Fund was created. Currently that fund has a negative balance. Last month we approved an Appropriation to cover expenses for the Greenhouse. The Resolution before you allows us to transfer funds from Operations to the Greenhouse fund over the period of next six months (monthly installments) for cash flow purposes, with the goal of having a zero balance on or before, June 30, 2023. The transfers will be clearly identified in our monthly financials. The Resolution to approve this transfer is recommended for approval.

In order to close out the 2022 budget, all major budget accounts must not show a deficit. Inter/Intra fund transfers of appropriations allow schools to transfer surplus appropriations to accounts needing additional appropriation.
It is recommended that the Board approve the transfer of funds to close the 2022 budget. A summary will be made available to the Board at the January meeting.
