On April 28, 2026 the Board approved the temporary appointment of Erik Harvey as full‑time, 12‑month Chief Financial Officer at an annual salary of 125000, transitioning him from interim to permanent leadership. Harvey’s May 26, 2026 report to the Board details a sophisticated 2026‑27 operating and capital budget, five‑year financial projections, and extensive commentary on SIS replacement, insurance, capital maintenance, enrollment trends, and risk factors, indicating he will be central to financial decision‑making and procurement strategy across IT, facilities, and student‑success investments. For vendors, a new, data‑driven CFO who is modeling fund‑balance depletion, capital needs, and long‑term SIS and insurance costs is a key buying trigger.Firms selling financial planning tools, capital planning and project‑management support, risk and insurance advisory, or performance‑based financing solutions can approach Harvey with offerings tailored to stabilizing fund balance, sequencing capital projects, and controlling rising fixed costs over the next 3–5 years.

CFO is evaluating insurance brokers, monitoring SIS cost escalations, and forecasting fund balance falling from 5.1M in 2024‑25 to 1.2M by 2029‑30 under baseline assumptions.
