Financials:
Workgroup: The group reviewed the financials for Kindergarten Readiness as a whole and also the budget set aside for The L.A.N.E. (Outdoor Classroom project)
The L.A.N.E.: $450,000 was set aside for the completion of this project and they are ending up a little over budget, tapping into contingency funds.
Project Updates:
Transitional Kindergarten: 16 Students per classroom x3 classrooms. Ready for the new school year.
CRC Early Childhood Learning Center: Director out on medical leave, we will get an update next month
Ready, Set, Go: has been a very successful program with some very impactful interactions.
The L.A.N.E.: Work party is scheduled for 9/5 at 10 am to put together and place all of the supplies ordered from Outdoor Explore for the different learning centers. The ribbon cutting/open house will be on 9/13 at 1 pm.
New Business:
