8. Estimated Cash Flow Report for 2025-2026 (FY2026) as of December 31, 2025 - Informational
Speaker(s):
Holly Anderson
Description:
The preliminary cash flow report was done back in July 2025, and is brought to the board 2-3 times per year, but is monitored monthly by the Business Manager. At this time, unless something major happens, our cash flow is adequate to meet all of our obligations and there is no need to have any Aid Anticipation Certificates (AAC). The last time an AAC was done was back in 2011, this shows good financial strength for our district.
