in attendance.


3. REPORTS
Mr. Tim Armstrong, Assistant Superintendent

As an FYI to the Board, the Indiana Department of Education is beginning to audit projects that were done with ESSER dollars.  In my opinion, they have retroactively established criteria for the projects we were unaware of at the time. The bottom line is that we are now in the process of completing some tasks in the rearview mirror and we could be out some additional costs to comply with Davis-Bacon wages.

Minutes

The Board received financial reports for both ECA and Corporation accounts for the end of November 2023 and the ESSER II audit mentioned in the Board agenda. In addition, Darryl Angermeier briefed the Board on the financial benefits of the energy savings programs the Corporation has implemented with gas and electricity utilities.
