Treasurer’s Report (Kirsten Juenke)

Financial Review conducted on July 8, 2015 by Patty Grembowski, Susan Schlosstein and Tina Yerges. A small deviation in final bank balance was later found to be a mistake in a spreadsheet calculation and has been corrected.
There is a $7,000 surplus from the prior year and a decision was made at the 9/17 board meeting put $1,000 into Fall Grants, $1,000 into Curriculum Support and $5,000 into a Special Grant Fund to be used in the 2015/2016 school year. Spring grants may be increased over last year.
Financials for July, August, and September were presented. Note September is only partial as we are still in the month. Financials will be filed as presented.

Curriculum night successful.
New Swedish Hospital mental health professional. Will be with Skyline for awhile
Will still have Eastside Fire and Rescue presentation about distracted driving for all sophomores.
Possibility of staging a car crash scene in the field closer to prom to help students see the consequences of distracted driving. ASB is supportive of this. This program is reserved for juniors and seniors and is a powerful experience for students to see. Additionally, firefighters get a chance to practice.
