For August, we ended the month with balances as follows:
Education Fund - $787,025.77
Operations Fund - $1,213,057.72

Rainy Day Fund - $2,076,992.26
Before August, transfers from education to operations totaled $200,000 (or 3% of education revenue) for the year. Coming out of the summer months with multiple projects will always result in higher expenses in the last few months of the year. August operations expenses totaled $491,736 with revenue of $94,023. The Corporation's Annual Financial Report was submitted in August. The Food Service AFR portal is under maintenance so the state will alert us when it’s open and we can submit it promptly.
