Um, district additional assistance or DAA is the formula for our capital funding based on our an amount per pupil. Then we have our unspent funds from the prior year and earned interest on surplus capital funds. This gives us a total unrestricted capital outlay budget limit of just under $9 million. Um, here's our current capital expenditure plan. Each school receives a capital budget based on enrollment. This also includes a new furniture and equipment allocation um that each principal receives. Each department receives a budget of for their ongoing expenditures. We're currently working with schools to address growth and have set aside $330,000 for furniture and equipment. We currently have 940 $944,000 set aside for transportation vehicles. We have some student health equipment. These are AEDs, some hearing and vision machines. In safety and security, most of that number there is for uh the secure lobbies to finish out the remaining schools which would be Pimabute, Santa Rosa, and Butterfield.
Um so that um we were having some issues with the original plan which uh would allow buses which would ask the buses to pick up students from all over the city and then make stops at both schools but that would leave a super a very large supervision gap in the morning and in the afternoon uh where this the teacher contractual time was was not lining up with that. Um so with further pushing and further um maneuvering another plan was created that actually seems to be more efficient as the best plan and in that plan uh there was the idea to combine uh the two two runs that that are similar in the sense that they have to go across the entire city. So the students who go to Dbury High School, Dimbury High West, um will come from all directions as well as at the same time uh Westside Middle School, they have the same same type of scenario.

Jim Gil with Gust Rosenfeld. Uh good to be here tonight. Uh thanks for having me. Um I should look hopefully somewhat familiar. I was before this board a few years ago. Uh the ESCOS have been mentioned quite a bit. I assisted the district uh with those financings and I'm happy to be back tonight as election counsel and if the voters if you approve to call the election and if the voters approve it in November, I would then be your bond counsel and assist you with with issuing the three or four series of bonds over what the statute allows up to 10 years. Um so ju just a few comments. Uh the presentation uh by the citizens committee was excellent. It's one of the best I've seen. It's really what we encourage folks to do to provide all the background and why they're before you tonight.
We have $500,000 set aside for the portable classroom building at Santa Rosa being installed over the summer and almost $2.8 million for curriculum. Most of this is our ELA adoption. We currently have $500,000 set aside for athletic services that are two high schools and we're working through some of those projects in planning. So, in summary, um we're showing remaining funds of about $278,000. Some of the amounts set aside in this plan, um we know are high numbers.
So the proposal by STA, they thought that by combining those two runs together in the morning um that that would solve that big supervision gap, economize the runs um and also allow us to not have to to bring on as um nearly as many buses uh which we were going to which was a major expense on the academy side. Um so what that would mean is that um high school and middle school students um next year it would be 6th through 10 and ninth graders would be 10th and 11th I'm sorry 10th and 11th graders and then 6 through 8 you'd be combined on a bus. We of course would have middle school uh students sit up in front a little bit closer to the bus driver and high school students in the back. um it's not dissimilar. While it's a change in practice for us, it's something that we're going to have to you know, get used to um if we move in this direction.

Um requesting uh that you call a bond election in this case in an amount up to $80 million. Lots of detail there. Superintendent was dead on with um all that detail is great. It's what you need to make a decision, but ultimately on the ballot and in the voter information pamphlet, uh we will not have all that detail. Districts have tried that before in an effort to be fully transparent. They've had three pages of projects and they've been held to that which is very difficult because again you have up to 10 years to issue these bonds. Circumstances change. So just keep that in mind. Um I believe you have in front of you or at least in your packets a very rough draft of the election resolution uh that you would be considering in uh in midMay. It's uh at your May board meeting. It's our first attempt.
We're still working through those plans as we're refining those those allocations and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Mr. Harmon, thank you. Member Coutrey, couple questions. First off on the M budget, what was different from the first review from our January meeting? Yeah, our first one first. Look, where are we? Um, we if I can go back. We uh we built our expenditure plan based around a handful of funds. Um, at this point, we've assigned all of our need, including the contingency. So, we backed out one of our other funds. We had an amount of money, I think $650,000 from indirect cost as part of that plan. Um, but we don't need it. So, we pulled it back into into contingency. So, it's still there for, you know, any unforeseen thing, but as of now, we have we've allocated our plan and addressed all of our needs and still have contingency set aside.
And again, we're still working on it. Um you know, that's something that um is not dissimilar to the way some of the surrounding towns operate now who have 6 through 12 uh bus runs as well because of the size of the district. So, it's just not something we've done in the past, but it will allow us to um to not have a complete total disruption across the school system. um with the tiers. Otherwise, we were looking at changing all the elementary times and pushing out further those um elementary those PM elementary schools which are already cutting it very close. Their PD days Tuesdays get over I think at 510 um which is which has been very difficult for for many of our our teachers and their families. Um so with that, I wanted to make sure that the board was up to date on where we're at.
Hearing none motion passes. All right, >> Sophia Carrillo: I do I have any names for this? Hearing none motion passes. All right, >> Sophia Carrillo: I do I have any names for this?
Um lots of blanks in there because we didn't know the bond amount. We don't know the But we'll fill all those in. I'll just very briefly kind of run you through what the resolution does. It effectively has the board calling the election, the bond election. Um the amount I've heard tonight is $80 million be any amount, whatever amount you decide. Um you delegate to district administration superintendent and the CFO the authority to work with man county on conducting the election. Uh, I have lots of experience working with York County. Uh, they're a good partner in elections. Um, we know all the deadlines. Some of the deadlines were just put up on the screen, but there are lots of other deadlines for publications, for notices. Uh, my parallegal and I work closely with the county on getting all that done, working closely with district administration so we don't miss any deadlines.
Did we have more money remaining in the last time we looked at it than we do now? because now we're we got 13 that we haven't designated. The difference would be that $650,000 in indirect costs would have been showing in that in that total balance. There's just not a need to keep it in in this category as a as an expenditure plan because we don't we don't have a plan to spend those those other funds. Okay. And the rest of my questions have to do with capital. I think I know the answer to this one, but um all the capital expenses that you um showed us, that's not for the new school. Correct. That is correct. That is that is just for our existing facilities now. That is correct. Okay. And then the transportation vehicles, is that all going for bus per uh purchases? The pupil transport, sorry, say that 10 times fast.
Um it's something that once we are able to kind of finalize uh we'll be communicating with families so that they're aware of it of course uh and we'll do our best to answer those questions they come up and I'm sure you have questions as well regarding this contract regarding the just the concept of combining these runs so that we can fit it into our tears. So, are you considering like we had some people make some public comments about not being able to access certain courses like music and arts if you're one pathway or I'm assuming campus? How is that getting worked out? So, this is about the transportation runs um and combining the middle school students and the high school and the DHS West Academy students. Um so that's a that's a separate um situation but so right now um there you know because we're opening up a second campus I know there's I've had some questions around whether or not the academy model itself would be a reason why students would be able to access some courses.

Um, and everything kind of stays in order. Uh this year we're working with uh at least three or four different uh districts in uh in Panal County on either bond or over elections. So we've had recent conversations with the county. Um one of the things the resolution does in section two, it uh orders theformational pamphlet. Uh the voter, we sometimes call it a VIP voter information pamphlet, sometimes just the pamphlet. It is really the primary source of election information for the public. Um, it's drafted by my firm. It's re reviewed by your bond underwriter, Steifel, um, as well as district administration. So, lots of eyes will be on that. It's important that we get everything right there. But, it's really designed to be kind of a script, if you will, for this board and members of the administration to speak to the public about the election.
The pupil transportation vehicle category is uh right now um we're planning for two 84 passenger buses, a special education bus, and they need a new mechanic truck. So part of that is a new mechanic truck. That number will likely come down. Okay. Thank you. I have one question that's more of a statement, but I just want to verify that this is correct and maybe brag that it is correct. We are covering all of the cost increase in insurance, right? That is not going to our staff for our for our insurance. That is correct. Okay. Just want to put that out there again. Be like, yay. Yeah. We had a 14% rate increase and we are covering that cost. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Harmon. Very good. Thank you. We now move on to item six, work study, specifically 6A, progress update on the K8 new school construction.
So once you choose an academy, once you get selected into academy, um the goal is to to that you you've elected to participate in an academy with certain pathway courses um that are of interest and that allow you to achieve perhaps a credential at the end. And so those electives are are kind of programmed in by design when you um are you are enrolled in an academy. So that's one little one sort of electives. We have a lot of AP electives um that we offer at Dan High School, probably more than anybody in the state. Maybe I think we offer all but maybe one or two that AP the college board even offers. Um so those will be enrollment driven. So if there's are if there is enough interest and if there we have the teacher trained um we'll enroll in the same way that we continue to enroll.

Um, if district staff or administration feels like or the board for that matter feels like it's important to supplement the voter information pamphlet, keep in mind that pamphlet's going to go to all the voters in the district who have registered electors. Every household with a registered elector will get that voter information pamphlet. Pamphlet will also include the ballot in there. But if there's additional information, quite often I'm I'm asked to review outside information, supplement the pamphlet, we can do that. You can put other things on your website. I'm not necessarily encouraging it, but if you decide to do it, just run it through me. Everything we do as a as a board, as a district, is factual and neutral as it relates to the election. We're not advocating for the election. We're not using district resources to do that. You're probably familiar with the statute 15511.
