Board Update

January has proven to be a challenge pulling the Board and the Committees together. Schedules are very busy with work, sports, and other activities. So we postponed our Board meeting and several of the Committees have still to meet. The Finance Committee is meeting today, and we have a lot to cover: next year's budget, tuition schedules, salary schedules, plus the normal monthly items of reviewing this year's budget, accounts receivables, etc. In the preliminary proposals from Dr Daugherty, there are some significant positive steps that it appears we can take with the budget if enrollment holds year over year: salary increases, more reserves, better financial situation over the summer months and perhaps hiring for some key responsibilities. Praise God for His blessings. Please pray for us as we review all of these important items and prepare recommendations for the Board.

The Planning Committee continues to concentrate on developing a succession plan for key leadership positions. Being thoughtful and purposeful in having this plan in place before it is needed is critical to the sustainability and smooth operations of the school

The Facilities Committee still has several projects underway: the monument sign at the North Campus and building an airlock entrance into the gym to provide better access and manage our utilities better since a lot of cold air pours into the gym when people go in and out the northern most doors.
