   1. Principal’s Report
   • Mary Ann reported that we lost 3.5 students applied to our PPOR count. This will affect the overall budget slightly but the school is in good condition.
   2. Financial Report
      • Connie presented a 95% completed, final 2007-2008 Budget Report. Just waiting for final sign off from the district.
      • Preschool numbers are behind. Currently the number of students is not covering expenses. Ideas are generating to bring more students in after the first of the year.
      • The 3A/3B Mill Levy impact is minimal for Lincoln. We had no big projects forecasted. However, since both did not pass, each district will most likely cut 2% out of their budgets. That totals to cutting 2 teachers per school. This should not affect Lincoln at this time.
