TO: FROM: RE: Wake Forest Board Joey Dreitzler Monthly Financial Statements X FOR INFORMATION FOR DISCUSSION FOR ACTION NOTES: The enclosed financial statements are for the one month ending August 31, 2015. A definition of terms document is also included for your reference. 14 3850 BROADMOOR AVE. SE, STE. 201 GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49512 616 222 1700 HERITAGEACADEMIES.COM

MEMORANDUM To: Board of Directors of Wake Forest Charter Academy From: Jeffrey Ratuszny Director of Financial Operations Subject: Financial Statements Date: October 2015 Attached for your review is the year-to-date financial statements for August. The first page is the Balance Sheet and lists all Governmental Fund Types. A brief explanation of terms is listed below: Assets: Cash balance of cash in the Board Fund bank account and the general bank accounts. Accounts Receivable amounts expected to be received short term from federal, state, and local agencies. Fixed Assets assets purchased by the school board which meet the capitalization threshold of $5,000 per item less applicable depreciation. The total cost of a capitalized asset is spread out over its useful life instead of the full expense in the year the asset is purchased. Liabilities: Accounts Payable Unpaid invoices to vendors Deferred Revenue Revenue received in advance of the corresponding expense Due to National Heritage Academies (NHA) (contracted services) The current amount due to NHA as specified by the Services Agreement. Fund Balance: Current year activity of the Board Fund Board fund account revenue less expenditures Beginning Fund Balance Balance as of the beginning of the current school year. Ending fund balance This is the current (i.e., year-to-date) balance. Page two displays the combined Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance. This lists the types of revenues received by the school along with all expenses. Technically, the only expense of the school is the contracted service fee paid to NHA. However, additional information regarding how the contracted service fee is spent on behalf of the school is also included. These expenses are separated between the General Fund and the School Service Fund. The School Service Fund reflects revenue and costs associated with the lunch program. These funds are separated into Year To Date (YTD) and Annual Budget. This is done for two reasons; first, the budget has been approved and amended, as required, annually. Secondly, it is difficult to predict when the school is likely to expend funds during any year. Therefore, NHA has based the school's budget on annual spending, not on quarterly spending. A few months after the conclusion of the fiscal year, the Board is presented with an audit report from its independently selected audit firm. This report will detail any actual versus budget variances. Please note that the budget figures come from the most recent budget the board approved. 15

2014-2015 Board Satisfaction Survey Follow-up Fall 2015 We have closely reviewed the results of the spring 2015 Board Satisfaction Survey given to all NHA partner Board members. The responses were generally positive and the results were remarkably similar to those from the previous year. 92.6 percent of respondents were either highly satisfied or satisfied with NHA s management of the school. 91.7 percent agreed that they would partner with NHA again and would recommend NHA to others interested in starting a charter school. Academic Improvement Student Performance We take this feedback very seriously and are seeking new approaches where achievement gaps persist. o During the summer our principals, deans, and teachers took part in an intensive professional development to better understand the classroom framework. They focused on classroom culture, planning, teaching, and accessing. We anticipate this will have tremendous benefits on student achievement and performance. Communication Board Portal We have made improvements to the portal in an effort to communicate in a transparent and user-friendly manner. o We encourage Board members to use the portal to quickly and easily access information you may need. Board Briefing Newsletter We heard you say that there is a need for improved communications. o About a year ago, we began sending monthly outreach to keep you informed about NHA, our partner schools, and the charter school movement. In the future, we are considering surveying our partner Boards every other year and during the offyears, we may conduct Board member focus groups. We also are considering ways to obtain valuable insight from departing Board members by implementing exit interviews. Those a just a few of our ideas but we also welcome your feedback and ideas throughout the year. 23 3850 BROADMOOR AVE. SE, STE. 201 GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49512 616 222 1700 HERITAGEACADEMIES.COM

TO: FROM: RE: Wake Forest Charter Academy Board Mike Vermeer, NHA Food Service Coordinator Food Service Management Contract National Heritage Academies contracts with a Food Service Management Company (FSMC) to provide school meals to our North Carolina schools under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Preferred Meal Systems, Inc. is our current provider. Food Service Management Company contracts are for a period of one year with four one-year renewal options. Preferred s original contract was for the 2010-2011 School Year, subsequently each of the one-year renewal options was exercised with the final renewal for the 2014-2105 School Year expiring on June 30, 2015. Pending completion of the re-bid process required for the 2015-2016 SY in June the state authorized a Contract Extension extending the expiration date to October 30, 2015. Following Federal Procurement standards specified in 7 CFR 210.21 a competitive proposal process has been used to procure FSMC services in a manner that provides maximum, open and free competition consistent with Federal regulations as defined 2 CFR 200.317-326. Preferred Meal Systems was the only vendor that responded to the Food Service Management Company Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by NHA. Their proposal meal pricing of $1.70 for breakfast and $2.8280 for lunch reflected a 2.9 percent increase over their previous contract pricing and is slightly less than the CPI-U increase allowable under the prior contract. It is also in line with NH A and Preferred's other food service contracts. A copy of the RFP/Contract is available at the school for review if desired. A copy of the proposal submitted by Preferred Meals is available upon request. Preferred's proposal/contract has been approved by NCDPI School Nutrition Service Section subject to school Board approval. NHA respectfully requests the Board approve the proposed Food Service Management Contract and authorize NHA CFO, Steve Conley, to execute the agreement for the 2015-2016 School Year. NHA will submit the contract to the state on behalf of the Board by the October 30 deadline. 29 3850 BROADMOOR AVE. SE, STE. 201 GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49512 616 222 1700 HERITAGEACADEMIES.COM
