Citizen Advisory Committee Report - None C. Monthly Budget Report Director of Business Services Donna Gregg shared the following: The budget is tracking well to date. Enrollment is up to 42 FTE, which is very good. The levy equalization is also tracking as it should. The state auditors finished up their in-house work and are currently working on their reports. The only issue that Ms. Gregg believes we are facing is the Apple Sole Source program. Many districts are facing this same issue, but Ms. Gregg feels we have all the documentation we need to back our position. The business department is currently working on setting up a program so the district can accept credit cards for payments. This will be a district-wide program, but will not be offered in the student stores. This will take some time to bring on line as she is wanting to make sure the data is secure, and that it is kept on a separate server along with opening new bank accounts to receive the funds. 10.
