Mr. Victor Salcido addressed the Board and reviewed one change to the initial budget for the 2018/2019school year as presented in the support materials, which was a $5,000 increase in salaries and benefits as requested by Principal Pruitt. Mr. Salcido stated that the budget would still be able to operate at a 3% surplus by the end of the year with this increase.

Member Safford asked what the budgeted $1,000 lunch program amount was intended for, to which Mr. Bringhurst explained that the amount was intended to help start-up and/or maintain the lunch program adopted by the school. Member Safford noted her concern about under budgeting the lunch program; however, Mr. Salcido explained that the school would not be paying for the lunch program because DANN was not participating in the National School Lunch Program, adding that lunch would be paid for by parents and would be processed through the Student Generated Funds (SGF) account. Discussion continued regarding lunch programs and the various ways to fund them.

Member Winquest asked about the budgeted amount for teacher assistants and campus monitors and noted concern that the wages could be a possible retention issue going forward.

conservative approach to operate on 95% of the expected income and to also include a 3% surplus. Member Safford also asked for clarification regarding the two lease payments on the budget. Mr. Salcido explained the payments were for equipment to outfit the classroom, as well as the lease on the building. Member Safford asked about budgeting for temporary classrooms, to which Mr. Salcido stated that the budget for temporary classrooms was still being negotiated and would not affect this budget.

Member Winquest asked how the cost per student at DANN compared to other Nevada charters. Mr. Bringhurst stated that for a first year school with the number of students, DANN was consistent with the other charters. Discussion continued regarding various costs to run the school and a list of services that could be contracted out for bid would be emailed to the board by Mr. Salcido.

Member Safford asked for clarification regarding Special Education costs. Mr. Bringhurst stated that Academica used contracted services to provide the IEP services to students who need them. Discussion ensued regarding IEP services and costs.

Mr. Trevor Goodsell addressed the Board and stated the reasons for approving BDO, including their expertise, cost savings, and reputation. Mr. Goodsell further stated that the State of Nevada required all schools in the state to use an auditing firm approved by the State, adding that there was no list of approved auditors as yet because the State of Nevada was currently creating a list. Mr. Goodsell stated that Academica was working with BDO on its application to be included on the approved list, adding that Academica was positive BDO would be approved. Member Cherry asked if DANN was a part of the bundled bid for BDO services with the other charter schools, to which Mr. Goodsell confirmed that DANN was receiving a lower rate because of its smaller size. Mr. Goodsell further stated that there was not an auditing budget for last year because it was the first year the school was open and an audit was not required until after the first year. Member Safford asked if all Academica schools go through BDO, to which Mr. Bringhurst replied in the affirmative. Mr. Bringhurst stated that once the state had the list of approved auditors, Academica would pursue bids from each firm to provide options for the next year’s audit.

Member Safford moved to approve BDO as the auditing firm for Doral Academy of Northern Nevada. Member Winquest seconded the motion, and the Board voted unanimously to approve.

9. Update on Fundraising

Member Cherry addressed the board and stated that the fundraising bricks would be placed in the frontentrance leading up to the school, although a timeline for engraving and construction was still being established by the paver and construction company. Member Cherry stated the first phase of the fundraiser would only include the cost of the engraving and that the more bricks sold would increase the profit. Member Cherry was anticipating the final list to be due to engraver by July. Discussion ensued regarding the further selling of the bricks, including reaching out to parents to have them connect with businesses and companies they personally use or with which they have relationships. Member Safford asked how much it would cost to engrave the brick and, to which Member Cherry answered that the initial cost was $10 per brick; however, the pavers being used
