Looking on the capital side, uh far less changes in terms of capital because this uses a prior year funding model. Um so we had a small reconciliation to our capital funding formula which is also known as district additional assistance. uh we increased that $16. And then like I stated before, the transfer from the onetime capital supplemental uh is reflected as a negative on M because we're transferring that to capital. So it's reflected as a positive on capital. And so the only really increase to the capital budget is a reflection of that onetime supplemental funding of 25,000. So with that, looking ahead, we will now start preparing for our 26 uh budget. And so uh as again tonight, we're presenting our final revision for this fiscal year. Uh that will kind of close out our budget conversation again for this current year. Um later on the agenda, we do have a resolution for an ML override and a resolution for a land, sale, lease, or exchange of real property.

When I emailed my teachers at obscene hours of the night and they didn't ask any questions, I felt a little more at home. And when everything felt overwhelming or pointless, little moments like this gave me a glimpse into something real, something worth holding on to. Maybe that's what we're supposed to be looking for. Not some giant revelation, but those small, fleeting things that somehow leave us feeling whole. So, no, I don't have answers. I can't give you a blueprint for adulthood. I can't promise you that the rest of your life will be fun and easy. But I can promise you this. Everyone else is just as confused. So give yourself permission to not know either. Everyone is too busy worrying about themselves to notice how weird you said here during attendance or that you waved to someone who wasn't waving at you. Everyone's too busy stressing out about their own stuff to remember the time that I fell during homecoming and prom and down the front of the school entrance.

Front row, please stand up and line up to receive your diplomas. One unique village tradition is that each graduating senior had the opportunity to choose one of our staff members to present them this morning. This is a staff member that made an impact on them during their time as a student in our school. This is a high honor for our staff and they'll do their best to hold it together as they read each thank you note which is an expression of gratitude from the graduate and shares their plans for the future. It is with great pride that I now present to you the graduating class of 2025. Joyelle Alifat. I would like to thank my parents, teachers, and friends for all the support throughout the years. A special thanks to Flan Webster, and Jake for helping me reach my goals and being good yapping partners.

Again, this is him speaking. Some things do need to be plotted, mapped, and measured, but these metrics alone don't provide a full enough portrait. Oftentimes, they act as perimeters for future development. Having people use their own hands and build their own stories ensures that we are expressing feelings. The goal is to create a vision for the future that reflects their past and shows them how their lives and actions can shape policy and infrastructure rather than the other way around. That kind of engagement can't happen without direct input from the community. They'll tell you what matters. Please pause the plan. Work with all of our communities. Thank you. Thank you. Hi. So, my name is Wendy Ryan. I live at 2317 Packard in an old condominium complex. I also own a building on State Street. It's my business. I've lived in Ann Arbor for over 40 years.

It's two single family homes that will be for sale um that are connected to one another and two families will live in that. This will be a 100% affordable housing projects mean meaning both units will be affordable and we will work with a nonprofit uh developer to to build those particular two homes. Next slide please. We did look at um so what do we do with those other units those those five rental units because uh part of the plan uh not only do we have to meet the overall obligation but we have specific what's what I call micro requirements we have so many family units we have to provide and so many family rental units we have to provide so we still have to provide a certain number of family rental units we looked at a couple of things that were suggested during the neighborhood meeting we looked at the rescue squad squad.

She's always prepared and responsible with keeping on task and doing what she's supposed to do. She's always safe in the classroom and around campus. She makes sure everyone else is, too. I can always count on Elaine to be kind enough to help others when needed. She's very helpful and motherly to many students. It's truly a pleasure having Elaine in my class and being able to teach. It's her bright, such a bright, energetic, fun, and kindhearted girl. I wish her the best of luck next year. Congratulations, Mrs. Adalie is cult of the month for April.

uh that will definitely um play into the conversation as we prepare for our proposed FY26 budget coming to you shortly in June. And then we immediately in June 24th will adopt that proposed budget. Um I can I can notate that right now there doesn't look like there's going to be any sort of legislator closure uh closure uh in terms of a K12 budget bill. So, we'll probably be um proposing and adopting our 26 budget on preliminary budget forms, which has been the standard and status quo for the last three years as the legislative process is taking um a lot longer than it typically has. So, uh nothing new there, but uh we'll be on preliminary budget forms uh again for that proposed and adopted budget. So, really a quick budget update.

It's this Friday. It's Friday. Ah, God. Okay. Um, that was the issue in the past having it on the weekend of Mother's Day. No, we cleared that. We've cleared that for several years now. We've we've uh learned our lesson. I think Excellent. Uh my uh only suggestion would be like to have the our meetings be like on the first and third or the second of second and the fourth Tuesday just so there's a little bit more like an evenness because I feel like when we are on the second and third Tuesday like we have to remember everything that we did like for three weeks and then there's nothing on that second meeting for board updates to I don't know it's just it was just a thought of mine. When does Creek have his village meeting? What day? I'm sorry. Creek. When does Creek village meetings occur?

We created a thoughtful continuous improvement plan that prioritized three focus areas. broadening our repertoire to include high leverage teaching strategies to create consistency in instructional quality across and within classrooms and to create a safe and welcoming school environment for our students and their support persons. I'm proud to share that through the action steps laid out in our continuous improvement plan, we've made gains in service of all six of our goals. Our academic shows that as of our winter benchmarking and recent curricular assessments, we continue on the trajectory that was so positive for us at the end of last year. We spent time exploring that data at our recent meeting last week and through our classroom walkthroughs together. I'm confident that you saw evidence of our growth and the high lever practices that were focus of our professional learning this year.

So instead of chasing this perfect version of what life could be, notice what is. It's messy. Sometimes it's getting yelled at by Miss Edgit for being late. Sometimes it's late night talks after a football game. But whatever it is, it's yours. We lived, we embarrassed ourselves, we laughed, we loved, we questioned everything. And somehow we made it. Class of 2025, we may never find the ultimate point. But if we hold on to the people, the memories, the moments that make us forget that we were even asking, maybe that's enough. And if all else fails, just walk fast and look concerned. It worked for me. Thank [Applause] you. Now, please welcome Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. Chandandy. Mrs. Chandi, it is with the greatest honor that I present to you the members of the class of 2025. I hereby certify that these students have met the requirements for graduation from Rampart High School and Academy School District 20 and are recommended to receive their [Music] [Applause] diplomas.

I already completed my dental assisting program and start work at a dental office on Monday. Kieran Alvin. I would like to thank my incredible mom who has always been there for me, whether it's helping me through something hard or just meeting me for coffee. Her abundant love has shaped me in a way that would put Michelangelo to shame. I would also like to thank my amazing dad, whose love for me and my siblings is seemingly endless, who taught me how to ski, how to make some pretty amazing coffee, and most importantly, how to love everybody around me, and how to love God. There's actually so many people who deserve a huge thanks, like the person currently speaking to you, aka the best mentor ever, and all the other teachers who've left a mark on my life. Lastly, more than anything, I want to thank God, who is responsible for everything in this world that I love.

And during that time, I've seen a lot more density. Um, I am all about affordable housing, but in my 40 years, what I've seen is the property values increasing, increasing, increasing. Um, I don't see affordability in this plan. I don't see a plan for the infrastructure, for the water. Ann Arbor has problems with flooding. I don't see that we have a a plan for um green space. And the plan that I do see is extremely vague. Um, I don't want to live in a big city. I don't want to live in Chicago or New York. I want to have trees. I want to be able to walk downtown and walk through neighborhoods and not feel like I'm being shadowed by buildings. Um, I think the plan could be a little bit more comprehensive. I don't think it needs to move so fast. Thank you. Thank you.

Um the ambulance um is it rescue squad? First aid building. First aid building. Thank you. Um and uh received word back that and and in writing and actually they voted on it that they were not interested in moving from their site. So that was not a possibility. We also looked at um another burrowowned property. Uh we the engineer had gone out the next day to see if it was viable. Uh and uh it is not. So, we looked at another burrow owned, small burrow owned property. Uh, and we looked at a piece of property across the street from here known as the cat house. And, um, I think one of the things that was of concern to the municipality was the only way we could get that is through eminent domain. And that is not something that the burough council wants to to move forward with.

Um with that, I'll be happy to answer any questions. President Wade, Mr. Moore, the DAA supplement that gets applied to capital, correct? Yeah. So, the U President Wade, member Van Hook, the district has the um uh discretion to apply it to either M or capital. We have chosen to apply it to capital because we um have a capital need within our district. So um yeah and that is reflected again in this transfer on the transfer line. And then as far as the um the free and reduced lunch amount um that can be applied to either M or unrestricted capital. That's correct. Yeah. And we have chosen to apply that to the maintenance and operation budget. Thank you. You're welcome. Does any member of the public have any comments or questions regarding the fiscal year 2025 adopted budget?
