So that's how students um learn is through teachers and direct support, uh nurses, one-on-one aids, bus drivers. Uh, but we also have to support all of that staff with finance, the payroll staff, um, the food service workers and all of that, um, comes out of this maintenance and operations fund, plus consumables and supplies and purchase services. I told you it's dry stuff. I really have no idea how to make it more exciting, but I can tell you a bunch of numbers on a spreadsheet make me very excited. Um, anyway, so this is these are the budget forms. We're actually going to be looking at this again in June. Um, in June is when we will start the process to propose and adopt our budget for next year. And it'll be these same budget forms just with some different numbers.

We got a lot done as um I was not present but I was there by phone and as I hung up the phone I thought well geez this is the whole tone and spirit of these meetings have changed so much or has changed so much in the few years that I've been on that and much of it has to do with Mr. Kim, but also with the people on this side of the room and how much they have contributed to the change in attitude and and uh common spirit of working together. All of you on the board, particularly the new members, need to hear that and know that um it is a night and day difference from how things were when I joined VESPA and particularly in the time that I've been on as a member of VESPA's executive board.

Thank you. Um, so would this be something similar on the along the lines of the what the mental health board just went through with having to have a referendum to create that sales tax and then that does that then take away funding that we get from the county to replace it with that sales tax like it did with the mental health board tax. So this countywide sales tax is something completely separate that you go to the voters for in the entire county. uh and it has to be um if it's approved then it raises the sales tax by a certain percentage uh of whatever the school districts come together to agree upon. Uh that those funds then uh are new funds that are allocated per student. U not uh it's per student by district. Uh and then those funds can be used for capital improvement or mental health needs.

As I went along that journey and started to figure things out and made some mistakes and kept right on going, her smile affirmed for me that I was doing a good job as a mom. Her curiosity is one of the most inspiring and fascinating things that I have gotten to experience. We will often get so focused on completing tasks and getting through our day-to-day to the point that we are completely out of touch with the world around us. We lose our curiosity. We lose that inspiration. We lose the things that bring us life and keep us calm and allow us to have fun. It is easy to lose those things as we focus on reality as it were. We often have this insatiable need to be something, to be someone, to make a mark, but that's a lot of pressure. As I look at my daughter, I know that no matter how many times she falls down as she learns to walk, and I am not I'm I will not lie.

So Killili was a beloved teacher who is known for her love of learning and her passion for science. She passed away in 2007 and so we honor her with this award. Um, can I have Abraham White please? All right, I've been crying already, so I'm just going to read from this. Abe has proven throughout the year that there is no problem that cannot be solved without with a little bit of scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and a ridiculous amount of engineering skills. His natural leadership inspires classmates to dive deeper into experiments and tackle challenges that they would otherwise avoid. He always has something to add to the scientific discussions we have had in class and truly make science a little more fun in our class. He doesn't just excel personally. He elevates everyone around him with his infectious enthusiasm and collect collaborative spirit. Congratulations to a white for winning the game.

So, this kind of breaks out where we're budgeting those dollars and you can see that most of it is going into instruction and that's direct in that's that first line everything highlighted. Oh, it's so tiny. There we go. This is one of my favorite areas in finance. Um, we have a uh accounting chart of accounts that is set in our uh uniform system of financial recordkeeping. These account codes are also set uh by the Arizona um auditor general's office. they are the same for all school districts. And what that means is that when we report out information, we're able to very quickly see where the dollars are going when we spend them. So when you see a 1,000 instruction, those are direct classroom dollars. We're putting the budget into the classroom. When you see the 2,000, those are support services. So these numbers really mean something.

Ladies and gentlemen, um Camp Oo Verie played Saturday night against ACP Arizona College Prep, uh Chandler School, and they played for the 5A state championship. Campovery was down. They played the best of five sets. Campovery was down two sets, first two sets. It's hard to come back from being down two sets out of five, but Campo did it. They swept the next three sets to become the state champions for 5A. And it was an exciting game. I I thought at first, hey, well, you had a good season. Uh but you guys didn't think that. And what I loved more about anything is the fact that you never gave up and you showed everybody what you're made of and you basically jumped out of that gym and made a huge difference. So congratulations to you. Give him another hand. If you'd all introduce yourself and uh say what grade you're in and then we'll let you shake hands.

So it it um it really has been just a very positive and and uh wonderful change over the years and we certainly do appreciate it. I certainly appreciate it and I will will miss working with that uh effort. So all of you thank you uh for for everything. One more change that or our thanks that I have to extend is to Drew and and his uh brothers and sisters in BEA. They were tremendously supportive to BESPA over the years, particularly the last uh year or so when we had so much transition. Uh Marsha, our previous president, left abruptly to take a a position here at RJC. Um then I stepped in, but as you know, I had a medical emergency. Drew and his staff was right there with us to help us move forward, particularly as we were at that point of starting the the bargaining talks.

It does not replace or take away from funding. We don't receive except for property taxes which are funneled through the county. We don't receive a whole lot of funding from the county directly. If if we approve vision 2030 aside from letting all of these associations know, what work or burden are we putting on administration by doing this? Uh I don't believe there is a lot of burden on our part. It's our associations that are working on our behalf that are lobbying our legislators in the state. Thank you. So, similar to the safe zone resolution that we did a few months ago, it's really just articulating that um these that we believe in these um goals um and that we support and understand that these will have a positive impact on our district as well. So, no additional work for us necessarily. Um, I find this a little um I'm okay with all this, but I was reading about a district in Ohio that um took out memberships with some other types of educational groups that are totally different than this.
