BLOCKS is another child care facility run by our school system on
a tuition basis since it is not mandated by state law. A child
must be at least three years old
to enroll. Last known enrollment number is 229 students
but the table below shows 214. Enrollment is growing quickly
because it's cheap daycare.
BLOCKS, like kindergarten is a financial gray area. Here, the school committee is mixing private funds and public funds and not doing a good accounting job of delineating the two. David Proule provided me with financial information but it does seem to cover those expenses that are found on the town side numbers, like health insurance, retirement, medicare, etc. Blocks financials should be in a totally separate fund that specifies starting/ending balances, income, expenses (clearly and completely itemized, liabilities, etc.... and reported in a separate audit report. |
