So I apologize for that confusion. So the ones that aren't meeting that 80, let's just say 80%. Because I think it's 80% on both. There's just one's a little higher the more recent numbers. the ones below 80% the scholars what are those adjustments that you're making in those moments what are they y and then how quickly do you see that improve their ability to to absolute absolutely and great questions and thank you so much because that highlights a lot of the work that our collaborative teams do it highlights our work with project momentum as well as our MTSS process and utilizing tier one tier 2 and tier three reading instruction throughout the school day. So the tier one approach is teaching all students the same lesson uh but ensuring 100% oral participation and written participation. So it's uh reaching all students. Additionally, some students need double dosing.
I think through word of mouth, people have um you know, the good word has spread about how easy it is to enroll. There's been a lot of improvement under your leadership that has made it more accessible and userfriendly. um particularly when we have folks who might have some challenges in in accessing particularly with language. Um so you you know have great reviews from from your staff and I just can't tell you how much I appreciate the efforts and your leadership on on the work that you've done. Um there isn't a day maybe a month or a week that goes by where Rick isn't sending me something to sign off on that's starting over there. So I have to you know which today was another example. So you're always applying for grants, you're always applying for the next opportunity and I love that. So, thank you very much.

It's an ongoing commitment into the budget. Uh obviously impacted by any number of factors whether we have kid growth or kid decline that will impact that true million dollars, but it is an ongoing factor that's into the budget. The M is a little um I was on the board when we did not pass the M. Yeah. And I got to sit through a ton of of things that we had to cut. Yeah. And that was that was really hard, right? And so yeah, and again, we don't want that and we want to make sure we work with our communities so that that they're not I think that's the first time I cried. Yeah. On the board. Only the first time. There's a couple points I'd like to point out is um one as far as the debt refinance and the ESCO some of these projects that are proposed for your consideration within the the bond the replacement of or upgrades of electrical plumbing and also the HVAC that hasn't been addressed through the current ESCOS.
Okay? So they might be pulled back into a small group. Um and the teacher has the flexibility to select the phonograms that they choose to focus on for any given lesson. So they choose no more than 30 phonograms for each daily lesson. And the teacher selects those based on what her classroom needs that at that time, that day, that week. So, they have a lot of flexibility to emphasize the parts of the the lesson that their students in their classroom are struggling with in addition to holding everybody to that high level of uh grade level standards and accountability. So, um so they do that a few ways. just to summarize, differentiating um in the small group for students who haven't yet mastered it. And we track that through progress monitoring and then um adjusting the specific phonograms and words that they use in their lesson for the whole group based on what they see their students need.
Thank you guys. Appreciate [Music] it. Rick, what just what are the other types of non-academic things that you offer? Just a brief summary of other sort of Okay, there we go. Sorry. Credit bearing. Um, credit bearing. Well, you know, a floral arrangement. Perfect. So, the goal last year was to start that continuing education um as a result of funding and the increased enrollment that we've had. That has not happened. The hope is that Say that one more time. Yeah, I'm sorry. I thought I might have missed No, no, you did not. So, um we hope to have that off the ground soon. Um, if I'm being very candid with you, we're currently operating, aside from the additional teachers that are part-time with us, we're operating with the same exact staff that we had 3 years ago when we were servicing less than half the people that we're currently servicing.
Looks like >> Jay Mann: And we are a school district. >> Sophia Carrillo: Yeah. And for me it's an is well motion >> Sophia Carrillo: Yeah. And for me it's an is well motion >> Sophia Carrillo: Yeah.

What that'll do is that will eventually once those get put in place will also save you eminent money as well. Right? So that's one point as far as project management uh company or person by having somebody on staff or having a company do that. What they can do is they can evaluate your projects and put them into packages to where you can get economy of scale and be able to essentially get more bang out of the buck as far as being able to package those projects together. So would somebody um my other question is the school facilities board? I mean we could still do grants and ask for the school facilities and whatever money let's say they say, "Well, we're only going to give you the cheap stuff, right?" Okay. Well, can they give you the money for that cheap stuff? we kick in the rest and get what we really need.
And so then can you take that and immediately see if it's being effective or not? that next lesson plan or that following week, are you able to say, "Yes, this worked. This didn't work." and keep adjusting. Yes. So, the teachers do that in their classroom on a daily basis. And then on Thursdays when our grade level teams meet with Miss Scubis and myself, uh we look at that data and then monthly is when we um aggregate it into the charts that you saw here. So these these charts that I displayed are updated monthly but um the real- time adjustments are happening in the classroom on an ongoing very fluid basis. Perfect. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you for allowing us to highlight that. Um I also am a fan am a fan of Spalding after being walked through it. Um and uh she asked my question, Miss Lopez asked my uh the same question I was going to.
So, um, we're working on that for next year, but um, we're very close to capacity, if not at capacity with regard to what our staff can take on currently. But it's it's on the radar. it hasn't gone off the radar. How long does it take to go through the program? Really varies, right? So, if you come in and you have um if you test in a pre-EST at second grade math level, you're probably going to take longer than somebody that comes in at 11 or 12th grade math level, right? It really varies. Um what we're consistently challenged to do is find programming that works for anybody that walks through our door. And that's really what we've tried to reimagine. And I think we've done it fairly successfully. Yeah. Anybody else? Cool. Okay. Superintendent report. Um we have a couple items uh tonight. Um I know in the curriculum meeting uh the last time that this group gathered um it was mentioned that we had a wonderful surprise uh in one of our King Street intermediate students become being named as a published author as a result of a submission and work for our program.
I now move the governing board everybody for your guys's time. I now move the governing board >> Jay Mann: Sophia that I now move the governing board >> Jay Mann: Sophia that I now move the governing board >> Jay Mann: Sophia that >> Sophia Carrillo: Oh yeah. >> Jay Mann: Sophia that >> Sophia Carrillo: Oh yeah. >> Jay Mann: Sophia that >> Sophia Carrillo: Oh yeah. >> Hilda Juarez: wait, wait, we >> Jay Mann: Sophia that >> Sophia Carrillo: Oh yeah. >> Hilda Juarez: wait, wait, we >> Jay Mann: Sophia that >> Sophia Carrillo: Oh yeah. >> Hilda Juarez: wait, wait, we have another, we have another >> Sophia Carrillo: For 2.3 human, right? >> Sophia Carrillo: For 2.3 human, right? >> Sophia Carrillo: For 2.3 human, right? >> Hilda Juarez: Yes. >> Jay Mann: And I believe in at the end of that same document, >> Jay Mann: And I believe in at the end of that same document, >> Jay Mann: And I believe in at the end of that same document, there's a similar set of >> Jay Mann: And I believe in at the end of that same document, there's a similar set of >> Jay Mann: And I believe in at the end of that same document, there's a similar set of options.
I mean, is that an option? Yes. Okay. So, we can still close. Okay. So, um that person probably needs to be able to write those grants or be able to work with the school facilities board. Correct. Okay. Um this summary outlines the proposed projects we aim to fund through the capital bond. Uh this is a comprehensive plan designed to address critical needs across all of the school sites and provide essential district-wide support. The total proposed investment of 80 million could potentially encompass 332 individual projects across the district. A key component which I know was previously stated um is the strategic refinancing of our existing ESCO debt. Uh, this proactive financial management could potentially save the district's significant M funds over the long term, which would allow us to maximize the impact of the bond for our facilities, our staff, and most importantly, our students. These savings would allow the district to address current and future salary challenges without the district having to seek an M override, which we've seen is not always successful.
So, um, you got two of us in one shot. Okay, that works. Okay. Well, thank you so much again for your time and the opportunity to share the work of Butterfield. Thank you very much. Very interesting. Congratulations. We now move on to item 5B, fiscal year 2025 2026, budget second look. Mr. Harmon. Good evening, President Downey, members of the governing board, and Dr. Lman. The purpose of this presentation is to share the second look at our fiscal year 26 budget projections. In reviewing our budget calendar for the rest of the year, we're doing that second look tonight. In May, we have our final revision of our fiscal year 25 budget. On June 11th, we have our proposed budget approval for fiscal year 26 and authorization to publish the budget and notice of public hearing for our budget adoption that takes place on July 15th. Here's a review of our available funds for our operations uh budget and ongoing expenses um that are part of the fiscal year 26 expenditure plan.
Um so Logan Tibido in grade five has been awarded the American Reading Company Award of Excellence for his book Welcome to the Arctic. His work will be published and included in a future student collection which is an absolutely incredible honor. Um Logan also is not alone. We have uh David Pelomique from grade 5 as well who received an honorable mention for his book Journey into the Arctic. And the company is eager to see more of his work in the future. So we've um sparked a real interest. Um, you know, part of that has to do with some of those we have some one of the greatest things about the program is the rich text collections that are included in the program that really are inspirational and the non-fiction collections um and and as well as many other books. So, I think that there's just been a lot of renewed interest in some areas.

In total, this bond proposal uh represents a strategic investment in the future of our district and community. It addresses critical needs at every school site, modernizes our facilities to create enhanced learning environments, and ultimately demonstrates our unwavering commitment to the success of each and every student in our district. The process began in December when analyzed tax rate implications presented an opportunity to better our schools without causing undue financial change to the community. The next month, a bond committee was established that was made up of numerous different stakeholders as presented earlier within the communities of Col's district. This committee recognized the need of these projects for our schools so that our students could benefit to gauge the sentiment of the larger community. The survey by uh high ground was conducted this February that showed the alignment between the sentiments of the committee as well as the sample of high efficacy voters within our district.
A total of $6.8 million. in review of the new expenditures um reviewed and approved in our January and February board meetings. Um we have fixed costs which include some inflationary expenses and increases in our insurance. We have our 5% um increase in compensation for salary and benefits um as well as some other adjustments made for classified positions and our employee wellness program. the new positions um have been approved in the personnel schedules this last few months. Um and that number there also includes $870,000 set aside for staffing contingency for the year. At this point, you can see um we have about 14,000 remaining. Um which shows that we've assigned nearly every dollar to uh to next year as with a with an intended use. This is the first look at the capital budget. Fund 610 is the unrestricted capital outlay fund and has several components.
So, we're very excited uh that this is ongoing. Um, we have uh oh, just a a small note and I'm sure I think Mr. Ro went through this the last time, but only fix 15 books have been published by ARC in the past decade. And so we have Right. So this is quite an honor and quite an achievement. So um we just want to say congratulations to Logan and David and uh we have followed up with them and and we [Applause] absolutely a family member of yours. Okay. He's now a celebrity. You have to stand in line to meet the same spot. Okay, great. Uh I'm going to go a little out of order. I'll address some of the smaller things first. Um the DHS transportation update. So, as I have mentioned before, we were uh working hard with SDA to come up with a plan to reear and to readjust and bring on more buses to accommodate the splitting of the campuses, which was proving very complicated um and trying to um start Danbury High School and the West Campus at the same time and somehow be all over the city, traverse the city.

Today we're here presenting the committee's recommendation and looking forward to the next steps to continue building up Jolome's unified school district for our community. This is a tenative schedule of the road map that we would follow. Um but Mr. Gil, our legal counsel is here and can provide specific details to our timeline if you guys call for a public bond election. Thank you. I I just I think that um I think that we have better um an a better outcome for bonds as we do M's only because our community can see what the money was spent on. I mean know a little bit harder and so I think that they get a little bit more skeptical but I think that that's why we've had so much um success. Yeah. Um with the other bonds that we've passed. Madame President, members of the I'm sorry, Madam President, members of the board.
