Worcester's Standing Committee on Finance and Operations meets Wednesday

...at noon?!?

The agenda is here.
First, note that the recommendation to raise substitute daily rates by $5/day next year in the FY20 budget is proposed as the first year of a three year phase in to get the rate to $85/day.

Next, the auditors are in! This is three things: the schools' portion of the City of Worcester audit (it looks as though most of the findings have been corrected); the test of the agreed-upon procedures for the student activity accounts (some documentation and reconciliation findings); and the overall review of agreed-upon procedures for the district (which looks...entirely fine).

Finally, the third quarter report is up for review; the account by account report is here, and the report is here. There's a projected balance of over $500K, and there is a corresponding recommendation for the purchase of textbooks and classroom materials, and classroom technology.
