| e. Financial Reports as December 31, 2007
Financial reports are provided for the Board of Directors’ review (ATTACHMENT). The reports include year-to-date information on revenues and expenditures, General Fund projections, a cash report and an investment summary. | |
| f. All-Day Kindergarten Tuition—first reading
The Administration recommends that the tuition for the all-day kindergarten program be set at $2,810 for the 2008-2009 school year, which is an increase of $130 from the previous year (ATTACHMENT). This will establish tuition for the cost of the half-day portion of the all-day program that is not provided with basic education funds. Over the past month, District administrators have reviewed the true cost of the all-day kindergarten program in the District. State basic education allocations pay apportionment for a half-day kindergarten program, and those parents who choose to enroll their child in the full-day program pay tuition to reimburse the District for this expense. Upon completion of the Business Office review, it has been computed that the tuition for the 2008-2009 school year should be $2,810 which is an increase of $130, or 4.63 percent, from the 2007-2008 school year. The recommendation is brought to the Board of Directors for first reading, with adoption to be requested at a future meeting. |
