In addition, there will be a hat day on Wednesday, February 3. Students may wear hats if they bring $1.00. The money will go to Samaritan’s Purse for Haitian victims.

From: John Peery
Topic: Lincoln Academy

I have reviewed the documents provided by Lincoln Academy. The school did not have an external audit team visit the school. The school has provided documentation of their progress using documents and data from within our system. I have visited the school and have found a well organized, well functioning educational program.

Financial Requirements — The school has maintained positive cash balances and is considered to be financially stable. The school maintains a sizeable cash balance. Kathleen Askelson and I have reviewed the budget and have not found any areas of concern. Enrollment continues to be solid and the school has managed its funds well.
