Um and if just for your own knowledge, if there's an issue with our enrollment, um we can um capture budget capacity um retroactively for next year that it's it's almost everything's fixable. So if there was a mistake on our enrollment or something, we can fix it um with a 915 just like we fixed our um transportation. All right, classroom site fund. I just want to bring this out. This is the um fund that pays for Prop 301. This year we did a $9,200 in Prop 301 for every qualifying teacher. That's the highest Blue Rouge has ever done. Um and so that pot of money this year is about $252,000. Um we'll spend all of that um on our prop. So just um for a little bit of information, part of the prop money goes in base salary and then part part of the prop money is performance pay.
A classified worker. So anybody who's not a classroom teacher or an administrator. Thank you. Thank you. Can you repeat that again because I I I couldn't hear you. educational support um professional professional. Thank you, Kelly. Thank you. Um and sorry, one last question. Are any of these ESPs um have any social worker background or do they have any behavior background just because if they're part of the crisis team and we're asking to add somebody else? Is there a social work component to it? It it will depend on the employee uh depending of their multiple expertise and knowledge. However, even though many employers do not may not have those s sort of credentials, they do have a bare experience of working in educational uh settings working with students and families or having different experiences about in safety plans uh that will enrich uh the capacity of the crisis crisis team.
But the components we're looking for in our security renewal or what we've listed on this sheet here. And this is what we manage dayto-day. We have thousands and thousands, hundreds of thousands if not millions of events in these products every day that tell us where people are going across the internet and within our own organization. That starts with our firewall. Everyone's kind of familiar with the term, right? We always think of Windows firewall. This sits on our network edge. It sits on our border. Every bit of traffic that leaves our network or comes in is protected by this. It also protects us looking across our network as well. So if a bad agent has compromised a user and they're trying to access our resources, get to our servers where we keep our most sensitive information information, sorry, that's there to stop those connections from being established and keep them away from all our sensitive resources.
So, I do appreciate you and best wishes to everything you have for your future. Oh, thank you. Last but not least, me. Well, thank you, Nelson. Two minutes. Okay. Let me know when it's the 30 second warning. Thank you. because Nelson does not like long-winded people. So Nelson, thank you so much, man. Uh we are an example how people cannot get along. That's what happened when you and I first to come together and me looking at you, you as my big brother that I come to you for advice and you always have sound advice. your consumate professional and I'm truly going to miss you. I really am. You just level the playing field. You neutralize things with your calm, professional demeanor. And I don't know, long as you leave your phone number that I can call you periodically while I'm on this board, everything will be copathetic.
I ask parents what they think is needed next step. I am finding that um we were chatting about a little bit before there's like a justice feeling that people have and they don't know what that looks like or means. And so, um, asking that question, what do you think should happen helps, but you know, there's a lot of restorative work and, um, sec, you know, it's hard, one class per grade, can't switch classes. For the most part, it was okay. For the most part, my kid came home today and said, "The circles are working." So y love the circle every day. And I also told the teachers like I wrote in my weekly update yesterday two restorative circles per week right now at the very least because this is when behaviors pop up because they're scared to leave us and go to the next teacher.
or they developed for us what we call as our main food permit application, right? But then we have different ones, right? We have a plan review application, we have a application for food trucks, residential kitchens, right? Temporary events, right? So farmers market, you know, so we we have lot of different permits that we eventually will get into, you know, everything. But uh I'm not sure on the timeline you know the goal should be like before before our new cycle kicks in right like by end of the year right we we we have our permits expired hopefully by that time we have everything in place or maybe before you know but with the number of permits we issue right uh like we we have not gone to septic permits haulers installers right so we have to work on those together you need to basically incorporate your your permitting system into that right program upload stuff we have to bring the applications in so for for the residents to apply online so you've got to just kind of pick away at doing that until they're all in right like another example for animal permits right that we have to put those application in the system so folks can apply online you know so but I guess it's going to be a process you know given the volume of stuff we Right.
Um this year the performance pay it'll be a little bit higher. Um we had a good sales year in the state of Arizona. So our Prop 301 money is just a little bit higher per student. Prop 301 or um classroom site fund is based on sales in Arizona. So when I first started um in school finance, I don't even remember what it was when I f when it first passed. I have no idea. But when I first started in school finance, it was about $425 a student. Now it's almost $800. So, it's that that just shows how good um Arizona is doing with sales tax and how good our economy is. But, it could drop I bring this up because it could drop back down. It's very variable. Um so, just an FYI, we'll pay out the um second part of the Prop 301 money um in the first payroll of June.
Thank you. Yeah. Um and our last working condition recommendation is some reduction in force guidelines and protections for employees. Um a reduction in force is like defined um in our in this language as anytime the school district has done all the transfers and even with um you know attrition still can't needs to cut positions for some reason. Um includes guidelines. So when you know, god forbid, the school district has to do a reduction in force, how they decide um which employees to cut and which to keep and then protections for those that are um cut in a reduction in force for how they are on a call back list. This is aligned to our um SFG goal about um retaining highly qualified staff and teachers, making sure that the people that have been working in our school district, teaching our kids, understand our systems are the ones that we are trying to get back into those jobs first before seeking outside applicants.
Um, identity services engine is next. Uh, that primarily authenticates users to our Wi-Fi network, but we do use it as a security tool. Some people think, okay, you just get on the Wi-Fi, how is that security? Uh we do a lot with ICE to identify who someone is and where they should be on the network. Staff members like John Scott and myself, we need access to manage our district resources. We need that sensitive access. Your average teacher, your average student, they don't need those things. And ICE is how we move people to the right parts of the network so that they don't have access to those sensitive systems. Um, umbrella DNS advantage is essentially our web filter that's exists for all devices, not just our Chromebooks across the network. That one's really important because everything sends traffic to the internet ultimately, right? And so we have to have visibility down to the smallest device.
Now, I did not know you had coffee with Dr. Cognum meets every Friday. She has had coffee with me probably once in four years. She may have embellished it. Oh, okay. All right. We'll talk about this. Okay. But I have one regret that you're leaving. Not numerous regrets, but one that really stand out. Now I'm going to be the oldest on the board. Thanks. You You call me big brother, but I got you by a couple of months. So all it takes is a day. All it takes is a day. Thank you, my friend, for all you did, all you continue. And you told me one thing else that even though you're not going to be on the board, you're going to be watching the board. Yes. We'll see about that. Have a great award. There's always a seat for you. All right, Don, would you play this?
Yeah. Everybody's ready to go outside. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Z. That was um informative for me not having children in schools and and having that kind of interaction. Um so we have at some point during the year to take action. Well, I think we do about being a school choice district. Um, and I was given some language for a motion. And so I think I will make a motion and then if people have questions or want to talk about it, we can do that. So I move that the PE elementary school continue its status as a school choice district for the 2025 2026 school year. I second. Thank you. So I Anybody have questions? Anything you feel like we need to discuss? Okay, then I think we'll go ahead and vote. All those in favor? All right. Um, so Dwayne is not is out with sick kid.
The number of permits we issue everything need the those physical applications need to be put into the software for that to be functioning. Yeah. But it it'll be slowly but you know the once we launch the first one and see it happening you know so and then we plan to next year like you know with end of the this permitting cycle right we we all of our permits expired December 31st right before that couple of months we start our process of you know uh renewing the permit hopefully we'll be able to renew the permits online that would be nice right yes I a very good software. I have worked with it before, you know, but it's just the challenge of getting on it and get going for right now. Thanks. Thank you. And just just with the disease and investigation uh we last time uh in the board meeting we have oneactor case that we have closed since and other than that we have like three to four active TV cases that we are working on.
End of May. All right. Are there any questions? questions. Michael, I I had one question. It's kind of in the consent agenda, but that that company that's going to do the auditing, that's the one that you kind of wanted. Oh, yeah. That's our hind beach and I don't know. Yeah. Other questions? All right. So, we need to approve the revisions as presented to us with this u presentation just now. So I have a motion to approve the revised budget for fiscal 2025. Motion from Siliana, a second. Michael, all in favor? That also looks to be unanimous. Okay. Item 3.2, recommendation to approve the JLA Junior Leadership Academy. The shims aren't here. Yeah, she Beth called and asked if we could do that next month in June. So So we'll table this. Yes, sir. Please. We'll table this to June. All right. Item 3.3, a recommendation to approve the junior high course content book for 202526.
guidelines to the existing policy. Yeah, the existing policy is very bare bones and so that's the the purpose of this. Any questions? No, thank you. Yes. Um, as it says on the screen, all recommendations fit within our budget presented. Um, for some members of the committee, it was very important to them that we have some money left over. So, we have $17,775. Don't spend it all in one place. The governing board has um seen this budget item several times. We will delve into some of the changes on this item in the future with our proposed budget. This is uh an item that comes up pretty frequently when we talk about budgets. We just wanted to put it back in here to see that we did have that 200,000 for our recommended compression that rolled over from the previous year's approved dollars and then the additional 750,000 giving that 950,000 total for the meet and confer budget.
And that might include something like HVAC controllers for our air conditioning systems, our fire panels that run our fire safety. All if it has a wire, if it has a Wi-Fi connection, umbrella is going to see where it's trying to do and where it should go. Kids with their cell phones are really, really tricky, right? Stu, even teachers sometimes can try to outsmart us a little bit with their cell phones on what they want to get online and do. We want to keep all our users safe with whatever device they're connecting with. And umbrella makes sure that every device is web filtered so they're not getting to inappropriate websites so they're not getting to malicious websites and fishing websites. Um Cisco secure client. This is an agent that we run on all of our computers. This primarily handles our VPN connection and our umbrella roaming agent which is part of our filtering.
We've got a little little clip of few pictures we put together. [Laughter] [Music] That's Nelson. That's Nelson. That's That's Nelson's style. Short. He had more Wait, he had more pictures with the kid than with me. Ah. Oh, I noticed that. You know, when when I came on the board, uh Mary Bragg, former CMEA president and she was a school board member herself, she her advice to me and u and Cheryl RP at the time was always vote your conscience and you'll never go wrong. And I can say that I've done that. Um and um just a couple other things. I you know, as Mo kind of intimated, we've been through a lot as this board. Um one of the things that um you know, I think is important in that is that as a board we stay nonpartisan. Yes. Um, you know, back four years ago, the um Will County Republicans offered to give me a a you know, recommendation or um and I turned it down just because I didn't think that was right.
Yes, he's done his but I have a very short update from him. um and we'll read it because you know how doing it is. He says, "Good evening to this Pelum school committee. My updates will be short tonight as the work continues with the Pelum mentoring group initiative serving all fifth and sixth grade students as well as the Pelum family connections initiative. We are seeing a positive response from the students as well as their parents and caregivers and a desire to continue to grow them into the future. We are building bonds of trust and open on this communication that will pay dividends in the days, weeks, and years to come. I will furnish an end of year report um at the next Pelum school committee meeting obtaining the results of my role serving the Pelum school committee as a school support and engagement leaison. The Pelum mentoring group serving all fifth and sixth grade students finishing our fourth and going into our fifth and sixth last week session for this school year.
U that's all I have but I'm I'm open to any questions from the board. Anybody? All right. So, the next thing on our agenda is the consent agenda. Um to review and approve the fiscical year 25 year-to- date budget report and review and approve the meeting minutes of April 15, 2025. Do I have a motion? I'll second that. Okay.
Yeah, there's uh we've got a couple of little adjustments that were noted and we'll be making changes right up until school starts, but just not substantive little things like you caught names that change, typos, things like that. But it won't change in terms of the won't change the content content or rules uh substantially.
Um this is the budgetary breakdown. Um everything is going to cost benefits 300,000. Um you can see facilities which is um classified staff so bus driver teachers and everything. Um we had a total amount of 950,000 and we spent um about rounding up 932,000 So the next steps in the process uh we appreciate the opportunity to present this information at this session. Um we will be of course open to questions. Um but tonight is our study session. Uh opportunity for you to ask questions and get clarification. CA members, the Kraton Education Association members will vote on the proposed professional agreement which will include these recommendations. Uh that draft will be brought to the governing board on the May 23rd meeting for your action. uh and then uh sometime in June we will pres be presenting the salary schedules that will then possibly be uh different because of the changes to the governing or to the uh salary schedule that are embedded in this process.
