Something something. the something call, but I believe all the East Lament Spartan seniors are on the offensive minus obviously Jenna, but everybody else, all the Spartan seniors, Julia Illingsworth was the only offensive girl, but I think everybody else see Grace Rapold get up there and let all the seniors be on the offensive zone. Absolutely. Yeah, let Jenna try to Yeah, I'd love to see it. Let the goalie go one-on-one. Awan with the ball behind net. Grace Rapole comes out. Stop the defender. Zello with the ball. Kylie Marino greets her at the third 20 yd line. Ball bounces around. Looks like Addy Jordan in there. She gets a call against her and Addy Jordan will have the ball with 830 to go in the fourth quarter. Spartans up 14. She fires the ball up to Kasich. Case good hard work and stays with it. She's going in and out of everybody.
I'm going to do my I plan it and then I walk in and there's silence. So then I have to change it all and and make um repeat visits. Then on that it is a streamlined process. Uh it was collaboratively developed and it still creates balanced oversight. It is also in keeping as we reached out to our colleagues with area schools. It's pretty standard to what um other PEX have proposed in their um these are just examples of reviews of practice. I gave you one. We have so many teachers who go above and beyond planning community events, doing things in their leadership roles, going above and beyond even those leadership roles, which you'll see in a few minutes. Um, and extended learning. We have teachers who have founded clubs who have started things um just to get students engaged and interested. It speaks to collaboration with their colleagues.
I was inspired to create this piece after looking at the evolution of man painting. It showed how the humanity of species changed over time. I though why not make an illustration about how I changed over the past year. If you look at the girl, so I couldn't make a copy because it was but this is the painting that one. So she has a child all um here wrapped up and she's evolving. Okay. So she wrote um if you look at the girl from the left perfection has tied her up restricting her of making any mistakes. At the end of her journey the girl realizes that imperfe imperfection makes you happy in life which causes the rope of perfection to fall. I think our um students in this in this district have so many opportunities and so we are very honored that she you know made nationals.
So when families come to have an experience, they explain the science to them. They help them find their way and they just kind of open up the wonder of learning. Um, it's a really wonderful leadership experience and it's important to their growth. Recognized for their leadership and their work as lead explainers, we have Alyssa Bright, Kira Holdgre, Angel Peralta. [Applause] Hayden [Applause] Rice, Ben Silva [Applause] Basera, and Ashlin Buig. One of the most intimidating things to do in the age of spellch check is to participate in a spelling bee. It's not easy to do. It causes great angst for most adults. These students stepped up and did an amazing job winning at our uh district level and then going on in some cases qualifying for county and some places in some cases actually going to county and placing. They are Mary Kartski, Sitting Bull Academy.
The increases are in payroll and employee related expenditures of 4.2 million. This is partially due to salary increases given to staff as well as step increases for teachers and related services staff to match their years of service. This is offset by a decrease in all other expenditure categories. Travel and equipment are decreased as part of the budget cuts and food service is down as a result of fewer students. The financial statements for March 2025 show our total fund balance is 2.1 million lower as of March 25 than it was on March 20 24.
So you can So if if a student owes let's say just round number $4,000 for the trip, you can do that through a direct payment or you can utilize the Arizona state tax credit to help get to that $4,000. Oh, the ACSTTO thing. Uh okay. All right. Okay. Um, has have have other overseas trips like this been limited to just, you know, a small group of students? It's typically typically it's limited to what EF Tours has space for and then the number of chaperones that we're that we are able to provide for a trip. That will usually set your cap limit. because I know that like Katherine was saying the World Travelers Club, I mean that it's not uncommon for a whole slew of students to to go on one of those things, right? And now, you know, we just have this kind of exclusive group of students who are who are going and they're the only ones allowed to go.
um 300,000 in the sped stabilization fund. Um 150,000 in overlay surplus and we're actually very very grateful to the uh board of assessors for releasing that and allowing us to use it to balance the budget. But then we're also using 2.2 million of our stabilization fund. That's our rainy day fund, folks. 2.2 million. We have a balance of about 8 million there. So let's play that out. you know, costs rise and and we're facing the same pressures that you are in your household. Inflation, inflation is a killer. Um, like I said, just like you're facing with your household budgets. Um, but if we continue down this road and we continue to drain the stabilization fund, we're going to be out of money in the stabilization fund in three years and we will have nothing in case of like severe emergencies. And let's not forget there's things happening at the federal level trickling down to the state level which will eventually trickle down to the local level that will impact our budgets.
I went to the town website. it's not there to try to like look at this because we I mean we usually start with like site and then go to design. So does that mean you guys have kind of looked and you think there's no site issues except the first one you mentioned Trish or No, we can we can bring up the site. Yeah, it is on it it is in the 40B project folder online. I think it's under the zoning board of appeals. If you go to the zoning board of appeals then there's a 40B comprehensive like on their left side there's a information about the 4B cases zoning board. Um, what I thought you said it was 55 West Union. Yeah. Okay. I see 10 to 60 main, 61 Waverly, um, 169 Pleasant and 17 Central. Those are varants. I I think you're looking at the current cases.
She gets the ball up to Jordan. Jordan gets the ball knocked away, but Angelina Trulio there to to save it. Battling it out. Yeah. Knocks the ball away from the A. That looked good to me. Awan will get the ball deep in their own zone. Zello with the ball. She seems their go-to girl to try to beat the the ride. She kicks the ball up. Goven with the ball. Kick the ball over to Sheress. Back to Sheress. Over to Rosaro. Feeds the ball in. Jenna with another save as Spalding turns around and takes a shot. Looks like that looks like it was a kick save by Jenna Holly. I don't think she want she could have taken that one back. She might have tried to let that one go by the net. But she'll end up nevertheless she'll end up with a bruise tomorrow for prom.
It speaks to collaboration with families. And our next steps for implementation are having you approve this change. Uh everything else stays the same. We did change some language, but that doesn't change the plan. We provided some guiding questions for teachers at the end of the year. Small things like that, but no real changes other than this one. We need to approve this for the state. Uh communicate that to the faculty at the beginning of the school year is when we do that. uh in our August days and implementation monitoring like we did this year. So, we don't want to stay with something that isn't working and we want to continue to evaluate it and check it.
At the same time I wanted to extend gratitude on behalf of our board because you sponsored five of our um board members to go to national convention which just happened this past weekend. So thank you very much board and that's it. Thank you. Thank you. The student Abigail is here.
[Applause] Edo Pang, Phoenix Academy. And from Sandia who went on and actually placed seventh at the county, Daniel [Applause] Curos. The next group is a team. They competed in the construction industry education design and build competition. They went down to um Orange County, were given the task to design, build within a very tight timeline, not just a small structure, but in their case, they took on the the challenge of making something unique. This structure is um uh interesting in its design. It looks like something you might see in a Dr. Seuss book. Odd angles, difficult to cut. They executed amazing. They did a wonderful job. They were given the architecture award and the people's choice award. And I will say I did vote a couple times on two different emails. I think that's recommended. We love this competition and how well they do. The team consists of Aaron Chia, Adrien Qua, Nicholas [Music] Haynes, Joshua Kit, Gabriel Mononttoya, Omar Morales, Alexis [Music] Nooa, McKenzie [Music] Owings, Cody Pratt, Saurin Winkhart, and Mason Zilner.
This concludes my report of the agency financial status status and I am available to answer any questions in the information provided. Thank you Kim. Any questions or comments for Kim? Thank you. Thank you Kim. Moving on to agenda item 5.2 action item approval of use of state trust lands. Albert Duff director of operations. President Suitcase Eiffel Knifel. Sorry for that one. Used to that one, I'm sure. Um, board members, ASB board members, Superintendent Reichman, and Assistant Superintendent Catchoff and Cooper.
And I I just that just kind of doesn't sit right with me that that you have a trip across, you know, halfway around the world and takes, you know, you leave on one day, you get there the next day and and you know, it's just limited to this this little club of student council members. I mean, I think that these kind of things, if the benefits are so great that they that we need to go over to Greece to to to learn, then Mountain View students should be afforded that same opportunity. That that's what I believe. I I believe that um there are several tours that are being planned and that the Mountain View students are notified of those. So, it's not uh uh all these tour opportunities are open to the Mor any Morirana student at either high school that's planning that trip. So, there are other opportunities for them.
Um so that's what we're using in terms of like big one-time revenue sources. But as the superintendent also mentioned, uh we're utilizing uh revolving funds as well. and revolving funds are specialized funds for certain activities, but we're drawing from some of those to help balance the budget in those departments as well. Um, again, it's completely unsustainable. So, again, that's the one-time revenue that we're using this year. And I just want to say we're doing it this year because we needed a bridge to think of a larger solution, a bigger solution. But that solution, that discussion has to start now. it has to start after this town meeting. Um, but like I'd mentioned earlier, we're also not able to provide even at the budget level that we are and utilizing the one-time funds that we are at the significant level that we are to fund some basic needs that the community expects.
So if you in my screen I'm going to the board and commissions here on the government startup page I go to boarding commissions A through C and then once you're on the Sony board of appeals on the left side says 4B housing information and projects And there are all the 40 projects. And there were other elevations in there too. There were the whole elevations of the whole building. Um, which get pretty figure out why there was a site visit that uh many people at least in town didn't get to go to and know. And is that something I don't think anyone I know I'm not even sure what happened with that. Did you get did you get any other information about that? No. Um we follow up on an email Michael both and I and that's how we received the um extension on comment. I didn't receive any further information on another site visit.
So that'll look good in high heels. You sound like an expert. You do have a daughter. I'll cut you some slack. I do. Kyler Marino burns everybody up the field. turns around. Tough pass for Miana Calibies to handle as Bernard gets the ball deep in the Aawam zone. It's awfully quiet here. I think I can only hear myself talking. Normally I don't stop talking, but tonight it's a long, long game. This is true. 27 years I've been listening to you talking. Yeah, this is not a roast of Jeff Mckne tonight, everybody. That is just my wife embarrassing me over and over again on LCAP. Have to make the minutes count. Thank you very much, honey. What a job. Great job by Addie Jordan to steal the ball and they're off. They have the numbers. She's got Kremans with her on her right hand side. She gets the ball over to a tough little tough pass to Angel Trulio who tried to another like a little golf shot type swing.
Any questions? Mr. I have a quick question. So, board approval first then it goes to the state. Yes. Or resubmit it. Okay. Is there any feeling that the or chance that the state will not approve it? It's highly unlikely because I have had conversations not only with um area PD chairs but also other districts in a in a PLC that I'm in have just reached out and it's pretty consistent and those all have so there's no reason to think that way. I apologize if you mentioned this. I don't think I heard it, but um is this change been run by the teachers union and they're on board? Yes. Um Mr. sits on the PC and he is our voice of the teachers union on our team. So looking for a motion to approve the revisions to the leader and educator professional growth evaluations and support plan.
Good evening everyone. My name is Abigail Hong and I'm a current seventh grade student at Oxford Academy. I want to share some thoughts that I had on this piece that I didn't include in my artist statement. First, I realized this was the first piece I made about myself. A lot of competitions I've participated in have included various topics, but this was the first piece I made that truly represented me as a person and my journey. I also want to mention how this illustration connects imperfection with motivation. Many people connect perfection as a way to motivate themselves to do better. How? However, imperfection shows and shines your perfections. By by reflecting on your imperfections, you can become a better person through reflection. And that's how I think my piece has really shown my journey. [Applause] [Music] Yeah.
