Monthly Financial Statement Tracy Moser presented the monthly financial statement prepared by Kelley-Moser Consulting via conference call. She informed the board that the 45th day student count report should be updated by January 2017. ROMC currently has 3 students receiving homebound services, therefore, a line item was added to the report for homebound services and social security. Due to the homebound services not being included in the original budget, a small portion of the EFA funds will be used, but will balance out at the end of the year. Board Member, Dr. Diane Carr motioned to accept the October 2016 financial statement. The motion was seconded by Board Member, Ms. Tara Holman and carried by all Board Members.

Due to their hard work and dedication to the program to improve student achievement, ROMC received a value added 5 score for this year. Mr. Dennis Dotterer, Director of SC Tap, explained to the board that the information used is based on the identifying targets for each student. Students are compared to themselves and their growth is measured over time. Since there was consistent growth among the students coupled with the value added 5, every certified teacher from the 2015-2016 school year will receive a monetary reward.
