ABC
the long-term viability of the
preschool under the direction
of the Boys and Girls Club is
in doubt.
The bulk of the $5,000 to
$6,000 in aged receivables
comes from not being able to
adjust salaries and increase
tuition rates as quickly as the
board had initially expected.
“While ABC has made a
small profit for the last several
months, initially, where we
built up the debt was that first
summer that Boys and Girls
Club took on ABC,” Trent
explained. “The parents had
committed to having their kids
there during the summer, but
that actually didn’t happen.
“We had staff in place and
had made all kinds of plans, so
there were expenses in place
to have a summer program,
but the numbers didn’t come
through and we lost ground.
Because the staff was under
contract, we couldn’t just lay
them off. We also couldn’t
change the tuition rate without
a 30-day notice.”
One of the largest past-due
payables is rent owed to the
church.
“We had a conversation
with the board of New Life
Lutheran Church and told
them that even though we
were going to cease operations
from a Boys and Girls Club
perspective, that we will pay
the debt,” Trent said. “We are
hoping to have that paid by the
end of August.”
According to Trent, a third
party has expressed interest in
taking over the operation of
the Montessori preschool, but
that they are just in the begin-
ning stage of negotiations.
“We are taking these actions
with QCCF and ABC so we
can go back to our core focus,
which is the Boys and Girls
Club, creating a safe place that
is educational and fun for kids
from 6 to 18 years old,” said
Trent. “We are getting back to
the area that we do well. We
have an established relation-
ship with Boys and Girls Club
of America, so we have
resources available to us to
continue to get this club on
track.”
Trent said the board has met
with both regional and nation-
al Boys and Girls Club of
America representatives and
are working on programs to
stabilize the financial future of
the club.
The board also is working
on a capital campaign to retire
existing debt and develop a
two-year operational budget.
“With the commitment of
the board and the decisions we
are making,” Trent said, “I’m
confident that we are going to
have a great Boys and Girls
Club. We have a wonderful
bunch of kids and a great staff.
I see us as having a thriving
well-run program that is safe,
educational and a lot of fun for
the kids.”
from 1A
In January, just prior to
Hicks being placed on admin-
istrative leave, the board held
a series of town hall-style
meetings to receive communi-
ty input as to how to cope with
the looming financial crisis.
“Back in January, when we
had the town hall meetings, we
made it clear that each entity
has to be able to pay its own
way,” Trent said. “Including
payroll, payroll taxes and
retiring its debt. Over the last
several months ABC has been
making a small profit. It has
been paying its payroll and
part of its bills, but it hasn’t
been paying down the debt
that has accumulated.”
With forward-looking pro-
jections showing a decrease in
students over the summer
months and all-day kinder-
garten beginning at Siuslaw
Elementary School this fall,
