Rick Rowley seconded by mr. Dennis bender the Board of Trustees approved the following the tentative agreement of article 11 compensation dated April 27 2020 with the California School Employees Association CSEA chapter number eight - eight negotiated changes to article 11 are related to health and welfare employees contribution calculations the district contribution remains at $14,000 per benefit eligible employee that participates in the program the vote of 5-0 in favor okay adoption of the agenda the board may approve the agenda as is or items from the consent agenda for the for discussion and action [Music] I would like to seek direction as to whether we should run our board meeting on June 11th in an earlier time frame than our normal board meeting schedule if that is something I can have some direction on I will bring that we'll post it with an earlier start time I just need some consensus yeah I see everybody I will also bring the calendar to forward so that we can talk about the to June meetings for next year as well for an earlier start time since it is summer break thank you I have no other comments I should go for right now I see you guys where there's been so much happening in the in the in the world and it affects every it talks about equity it talks about acceptance acceptance of the people that we service I am hoping that Apple Valley will continue to do what it is doing currently I was particularly impressed with the town of Apple Valley and how they conducted themselves with rally yesterday and I'm hoping that come next school year we will see some changes in terms of how we approach the racial issues that seem to plague us on a regular basis perhaps look for real quality trainings so that our staff will be better prepared on how to handle the ratio issues that occur in our communities I would like to see the staff actually seriously getting involved or engaged in what kind of discipline process they're having their choosing to go for I have heard about the PBIS I am not sure if that is the direction that works for all kids but so I would like to see some of the schools begin to really have some serious conversations about how do you how do you talk to kids who have never had an adult that really truly cares and how do you show you care because it really doesn't matter that you you have all of these degrees in front of you if you cannot show a child you care then you don't belong in the business education of children is extremely important to me especially when my own children came through this the school this this process each time I see one child hurt I hurt for them I heard for them I heard for their parents I heard for their committee and I'm hoping that this this error that we are in right now will help us to see that everybody has rights and we just have to allow them to exercise those rights with respect and dignity we have seen so much pain in the society in this past nine days and I'm hoping that there there will be changes I really am truly am Hopi I and because I work for the school I'm part of a school district trustee my responsibility is where it affects children because if we can't treat children with dignity they don't return the favor they do not return they cannot treat you back with dignity and so we have to start by learning how talk to gets by learning how we what what do we do in terms of schools is school a pipeline to prison or is it a pipeline to high so we need to find better ways of dealing with kids and I'm that's why I'm particularly glad that mr.

you briefly here by Mariana Torres she'll talk you through these slides one more video today and share with you some of the amazing successes that our English learners have been making in this district as part of this presentation we are going to discuss the progress of English learners towards English proficiency the number of English learners who have been redesignated as fluent English Proficient the number of percentages of English learners who are at risk of becoming long-term English learners the achievement in other areas the progress towards making our ell cap goals and also we would like to have an opportunity to talk about what our next goals are currently we have thirteen hundred and fifty English learners within our system one of the measures that we use to indicate their progress is the elpac assessment which is given to our English learners once a year the LP or English learner progress indicator which is located in our dashboard gives us a glimpse on how they're making progress from year to year forty-six point eight percent of our students are making progress towards English language proficiency as indicated by these years results as we look a little bit closer at our LP results we see that 41 point nine percent of our English learners made a whole levels worth of growth while four point eight percent of our students were already achieving the highest level and have maintained that level over four thirty one point five percent of those students maintain the level that they currently had while twenty one point six percent of our students decrease an LP level another way that we look at progress of English learners is to look at our dashboard a couple of areas that I would like to highlight today is our graduation rate here at Apple Valley Unified School District for our English learners while California's al graduation rate stands at sixty eight point seven percent we are working towards having every single one of our English learners grad and be successful right now we are at an eighty three point three percent three points up from last year and we look forward to seeing how we have done this year as we believe we have increased that number as well also in our college and career measure we are at standing at 42 percent california IL college and career rate right now stands at sixteen point eight percent that truly shows you the dedication that our students put into their future another measure that we look at for our English learners and their progress is the number and percentage of English learners we designated or reclassified as fluent English Proficient this year we have gained some numbers and we are proud to say that 11.6 percent of our students we classified or redesignated as fluent English Proficient 162 students total have made that mark and have exited our program another measure that we look at in this district is the number of percentage of English learners who are at risk of becoming ell tells or long-term English learners these are students who have been in the program for more than five years and have not redesignated currently we have 438 students that are considered ell tells 213 who are at risk of becoming in long-term English learners these students have specialized supports in designated an integrated eld daily to meet their needs and are making progress steadily even though they have not met redesignate we also have 366 students who have been enrolled for less than three years in the program and are making progress 265 have been with us for more than four years and are not at risk of becoming L tells as they have been making steady progress another way to look at achievement of English learners is look at the CASP or the smarter balanced assessment in English language arts as we see a comparison of English learners with reading needed student and English only students we see that current English learners are 86 points below standards reclassified English learners are twenty-two point two points above standard which is a great gain as they are making not only progress but they're finding success after exiting the program the English only counterparts right now stand at twenty one point four points you know on almost a 40 point difference under redesignate its students if we were to look at the math we see that current English learners are 120 points below standards while we classified English learners in math are at twenty three point nine points below which is still about 40 points higher that they English only counterparts who are sixty three point seven points below last but definitely not least I would like to share with you the progress towards El Cap il goals that we have been making and what are our next steps we would like to see that all of our English learners will move towards proficiency in English with 85% maintaining or moving one level towards reclassification per year to do this we are training our staff to fully implement designated and integrated LD portions of the ela LD program and standards on a daily basis we are piloting an avid Excel program which provides designated supports to our English learners and our all Altos so that they can be ready for the academic demand and rigor that's provided within their day to tell quality teaching for English learners has been working with our district to support Els and their content area instruction and provide access as they progress towards language fluency we have specialized eld instruction for el tells and English learners in grades 7 through 12 and in our self-contained classes our English learners get designated eld on a daily basis we are training to understand and support LLS and their families better every day and this summer as we embark in another adventure we will tackle distance learning supports and virtual learning environments focusing on the special needs of English learners I just want to say thank you for the opportunity to work and serve in this district and for all of the hard work that every single one of you has done to support our program our English learners and their needs I am very proud to not only be an employee in Apple Valley Unified but also a parent and a member of this community thank you very much and have a wonderful day wonderful to be able to share such great data and those at information it's not every district that gets to show a college and career readiness and graduation data for English learners that's so far above the state average it's a real testament to the work in the El Cap and the dedicated and focused support that those English Learner counselors provide at the high school level it's really paying off so thank you I have a question on this one can I ask yes the question had to do with the number and percentage of English learners at the risk of becoming long-term English learners have you run any tests or any assessments to figure out what is a common thread with these students that is making them stay at that straight level instead of making any progress it's this is the age-old question for Witte L tells and why they pause where they pause it Mariana and I talked about that today in fact because the question becomes this once they've reached a point where they're it may not be necessarily a language issue we know a couple of things and you've probably heard this before one it often becomes an academic language issue mm-hmm so it is the language about and surrounding schooling second the the part of this that we have to really be careful of is making sure that because you saw the rates when the redesignated students get into for example they're smarter balance scores our forty points higher than the regular student cohort so that the exit the reclassification criteria are rigorous and so to move out is difficult so these long-term English learners one that we're asking them to clear a high bar to it's important to remember that at some point we have to transition them into the academic language which is why we selected avid Excel avid excel for those students isn't just avid this is about helping them almost all l tell students in these sections have access to the very areas that where they're struggling and often it has to do with the more difficult language art skills whirring rhetorical analysis that are required on the on the back to some degree in fact the L pack requires them to read and summarize science articles it's quite rigorous so I think that that is the main area we are not finding a common thread from the point of view of there's no disability that reveals other than we do find that for some students they become comfortable in the eld environment and so we have to encourage them to reach out beyond that and and the teachers are wonderful about that so that's why I think you see those numbers continue to rise of our reclassification numbers and those LTL numbers hopefully so when you have your avid program do you have really highly skilled instructors for those avid programs that is that is aware of the fact that there are English learners in their avid class because one of the things that you might find is is an avid teacher may be so good at being an avid teacher and they fail to realize is there's somebody who is coming in from a second language and is trying to learn the academic language plus their second language that they are also going to continue to practice at home because you know when you have a second language it just doesn't run off because you are at school you are you're gonna have the second language and you tend to communicate mainly with people who speak that second language or that first language with you and so it's really hard for those students to make those transitions so my question is if you have your avid tutors or your avid teachers who are very comfortable in realizing that the students come with special their English language learner deficiency that needs to be addressed in order to move them forward we do in fact those teachers have special training to be part of that pilot okay thank you okay boy that was interesting [Music] proposed budget presentation thank you you'll see on the screen and you also have a copy at your seat of the presentation I'm about to deliver so I have the pleasure to deliver a little summary for next year's proposed budget so this is the 2021 fiscal year and as always we have several sources we utilize as we put our budget together moving forward number one our current year estimated actuals as of May 20 2010 that's the current school year were in and how we estimate we're gonna finish the year we're still not done so we still have some things that can change those estimated actuals but that at this point creates the starting point for our budget we also rely on the governor Newsom and his January budget proposal along with says along with his May revision we utilize the thick mat lcff calculator that determines the lion's share of our state revenue based on our 88 and our unduplicated pupil percentage we utilize the school services dart board and the San Bernardino County Superintendent a school's common message which comes out of the business advisory services office down at the county schools so here we are this is a quite an extensive chart of lots of numbers but I'm gonna highlight a few if you notice the our budget is broken into two main components unrestricted revenue and expenses and restricted revenue and expenses I know of course we combine those for our overall budget and I would like to point out on the combined column you'll notice the excess deficiency about six lines down is a negative nine point seven million dollars so as of May 2020 we are estimating we are finishing this year spending nine point seven million dollars more than we took in in revenue in the current fiscal year so that is a significant deficit spending and will be our third consecutive year of deficit spending spending down our ending fund balance which were estimating you'll see that's the green number two line down our combined ending fund balance estimate is approximately twelve point six million dollars as of the end of this month again this will change based on actual activity over the next few weeks as we and as we close the books in August and September when I will present to you the unaudited actuals just to breakdown a little bit of the expenditure detail this is our major object categories one thousand through seven thousands you'll see certificated classified employee benefits books and supplies services and operating expenditures capital outlay and other outgo and that's just a little breakdown how we spend the money that comes to us to fund our system to educate the students of Apple Valley a couple of things I'd like to point out down at the bottom we do make a couple transfers out in the current year one of them to support our nutrition services fund and the unpaid meal debt that the nutrition services fund acquires throughout the year federal law prohibits the nutrition services fund from covering that bad debt so our unrestricted general fund we make that transfer over to cover that and then we also had a seven hundred and seven thousand dollar transfer out which is our Redevelopment Agency pass-through funds that come to us which are restricted for facilities use only so those were transferred into fund forty to support facilities projects so as we look at that was kind of our estimate for this year and how we're finishing up so now I'm gonna move into next year and our projected budget for the 2020 2021 fiscal year so to talk a little bit about the revenue to begin with we are budgeting for about twelve thousand six hundred and five average daily attendance that's our projected p2 that is higher than this year's so we are budgeting still an increase in ata and an increase in enrollment we in terms of the lcff cola the statutory Cola calculated for next year was two point three one percent however in governor newsome's May revision he deficit that statutory Cola by 10% netting approximately a seven point nine two percent reduction in our lcff funding that were face with so you'll see right below that the specific impact on our local local control funding in January we were anticipating in next budget year just under a hundred and thirty nine million dollars of lcff revenue now that is base grant revenue grade span adjustment revenue supplemental concentration grant revenue and transportation funding in the May revision with governor Newsom's proposed reductions we are budgeting currently about a hundred and twenty five point two so you'll see that's over a thirteen and a half million dollar reduction in our LCF revenue from January to May based on the situation that this nation and this world is in right now with the current pandemic and the economic turmoil it has caused throughout the world the the nation and the state of California less revenue into the state means less money to school districts one thing the federal government has done is the cares act and we are budgeting some different federal sources in next year that will total approximately thirteen and a half million dollars in one-time federal support for Apple Valley Unified School District now there is still some uncertainty behind these specific funds when they're going to come when they have to be expended by and what kind of requirements for their spending will actually be attached so there are some questions there remaining that we'll continue to learn over the next few weeks in few months additional revenues as part of our lcff we do have a k3 grade span adjustment we are currently assuming receipt of all that grade span adjustment revenue which means our k3 classrooms will continue to be required to be staffed at a maximum class load of twenty four to one our routine restricted maintenance account which is a required contribution we are currently budgeting contributing three percent of our budgeted expenditures to the routine restricted maintenance and our transportation add-on which is part of our lcff was reduced by ten percent according to the governor's may revision seal so we are reflecting that within our lcff funding on the expenditure side of the budget for next year we are assuming and budgeting for step and column for all units we have not budgeted for any compensation increases in any of our employee groups we are budgeting the stirrers and pers contribution rates as proposed in the governor's may revision and we are proposing some and have budgeted for some position economies now these are some positions that were currently unfilled that will that we're planning to remain unfilled next year so we have removed those from the budget however there are many current unfilled positions that will continue to roll over into next year and will be filled as needed depending on how our students show up and and the instructional needs we have so we have removed only some of the unfilled certificated and classified positions from our budget next year one expense we did remove is related to our transportation we have purchased two or three buses during the last several fiscal years to maintain our fleet we did remove that purchase and are not planning on purchasing any additional buses next year our L cap expenditures are all budgeted as ongoing and of course we will make adjustments to those expenditures as the L cap goes through its approval process based on the governor's proposed revised timelines and I do believe that will be adopted sometime December if that's correct thank you maintenance and operations we had in one of the things we did have in our L cap was to support the clean and well-maintained facilities goal that the state of California has a transfer of approximately six hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars into our deferred maintenance fund we did remove that we do have our three percent routine restricted maintenance account I mentioned earlier and that will continue to support the maintaining clean and well maintained schools but here's the quick look at the finances so that we're projecting for next year you'll see our unrestricted revenues are in restricted revenues column and then the combined column reflecting all those adjustments and assumptions that I just spoke of in the last several slides you will see in the combined column we are still projecting approximately a deficit of 1.9 million dollars now the caution I will say here is we are budgeting thirteen and a half million dollars of restricted federal revenue or some unrestricted some restricted federal revenue that still has some questions attached to that so if not all of that federal revenue comes in then that deficit grows if we add additional expenditures either one-time or ongoing in this budget year then that deficit grows so that's just something to be aware of as we move forward through this current budget cycle so moving to year two is as you recall we have to do a three-year budget and show fiscal solvency at the end of that third year so that actually takes us all the way to June of 23 but this is year 2 21 22 so we are continuing to budget a projected increase in our a da we are also budgeting the statutory Cola as recommended by the Department of Finance and the San Bernardino County super ten in the school's business advisory office that is a question mark and we're not sure if that's going to come so if that revenue does not materialize of course we will need to make economies as appropriate that that Cola does facilitate approximately a 3.8 million dollar increase in revenue in that particular budget year again we're assuming receipt of the k3 grade span adjustment revenue which means we will have to maintain 24:01 in all our grades K through 3 and we do have to account for the elimination of that federal revenue it comes one-time so it it comes to us what we're currently planning it will come to us in the 2021 budget year so it will not be present in the 2122 budget year so we see so you see we have to remove 13 and a half million dollars of revenue now with the increased lcff and that adjustment to federal revenue that does net to at nine point seven million dollar reduction in revenue from year one to year two in this three-year budget cycle on the expenditure side you'll see we are budgeting for step and column for all units we are not budgeting for any compensation increases again we're budgeting for the stirrers and pers contribution rates as proposed in the governor's may revision and again the El Cap expenditures with current with appropriate adjustments once the El Cap is approved so we do have some planned expenditure reductions in the second year of this budget to offset that nine point seven million dollar reduction in revenue we line items without specifics at this point nine point five million dollars of reductions in this budget now without having specifics that brings us to the bottom bullet on this particular slide in talking with business advisory services down at the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools office if we're going to be making significant cuts in this particular budget year we have to have a four de Kloet board approved budget reduction plan submitted with our budget year second interim so that means when we submit our second interim budget to the county in March of 2021 we will need to have a board approved plan with specific budget reductions in order to remain fiscally solvent that will take work in this this entire fall or summer and fall as we head into next budget year so here's my budget projection or our budget projection with those assumptions I spoke of on the last couple pages most notably the reduction in revenue and the corresponding reduction in expenditures you'll see with those two items and of course budgeting for step and column increased costs and stirs and purse contributions we're still projecting a three point six million dollar deficit spending more than we're getting so that takes our ending fund balance all the way down our combined ending fund balance down to approximately 7.1 million dollars in this particular scenario utilizing those assumptions the third year in the cycle again 22:23 takes us out to June 30th of 23 just a few weeks more than three years from today we're again budgeting for a continued increase in ABA and we're budgeting the cola if either of those do not materialize that means less revenue which means we will need to make more expenditure reductions or economies and operating costs and again we're assuming receipt of our k-3 grade span adjustment revenue which of course means we have to maintain the staffing level in our K through 3 classes salaries again step and comb for all units no budgeted compensation increases and stirs and pursed contribution rate increases this year because governor Newsom proposed only a two-year accellerated by down of those rates so the stirs and purrs rates do take quite a jump from the 21 22 to the 22 23 and our ell cap expenditures so here's the financials that go along with those particular assumptions in our 22 23 the third year of this three-year budget cycle and you'll see we're currently projecting approximately a 1.3 million dollar combined deficit taking our combined ending fund balance down to just under 5.8 million dollars now I would like to bring that to the board's attention that is over the 3% minimum as required by law which that year is about four point seven million dollars so we have about them we have a small cushion however that number is below the 5% established by the board so at some point we will need to make some additional reductions as we move through to ensure that we meet our 5% board policy unrestricted budget reserve some highlights and concerns for the future in this particular budget cycle I put kovat 19 first that's the first thing on everybody's mind what's gonna happen how are we going to come back in the fall what are the economic and political what's the economic and political fallout we have to deal with in terms of the particular state of California in particular the economic recovery that hopefully will come in what they call a V fashion rather than a u or an L the faster recovery the better in terms of funding for the state and funding for schools our enrollment trend is something we will definitely have to monitor because we are through this three year cycle projecting increases in enrollment in a DA every year so that is also something very important to watch the lcff funding we are assuming the cola if those colas are not funded that is a significant reduction to the revenue that we are currently assuming in this three-year cycle and of course we're always concerned about the legislature manipulating prop 98 the sterzin purse costs the question is will the rate by Downs continue we don't know right now governor Newsom did propose the buy downs for year one and year two of this cycle but not year three that may change over time and we will adjust as necessary with governing you some proposes changes or extending those by nouns so the state adopted budget right now we have the governor's may revision and that's what our budget is built on and that's the guidance we got from school services Vick mat and County business advisory services however the legislature did yesterday the Senate and Assembly largely rejected the governor's proposed cuts in their negotiated budget agreement and as they have not approved that budget agreement yet they do have until June 15th to for the legislature to approve a budget and send it to the governor for his signature I would venture that they are going to approve the budget as they negotiate it and send that to the governor now the governor has a couple weeks he has until July 1st or June 30th to sign the budget and he does have power for line-item vetoes and he can also send it back to the legislature and say try again or do this again or let's try this so there is still room for negotiation on that budget what the Senate and Assembly negotiated together is not does not necessarily mean that's what we're gonna get so we'll be watching that over the next month or so to see what happens up in Sacramento and the biggest what if I mentioned before is the current recession unfortunately we had a record economic recovery stopped dead in its tracks by koban 19 unfortunately and that does impact California in the nation and unfortunately the school district in terms of our revenue and that federal funding how is that 13 and a half million gonna flow to Apple Valley Unified how are we going to be able to use it and how will that ensure our continued operations so at this time I'd be happy to entertain any questions not at this point mr.

so it is not guaranteed we are confident it will come but we're confident it will come with some strings and some requirements from the federal government I do have several questions obviously my first question had to do with the 2020 2021 budget assumptions we're making the assumption that we'll have an enrollment that will match where we are have you looked at other districts to see what their story is in terms of parents who are already opting not to return their children to school and how that will look for our district when the time comes no we do not specifically look at other districts we look at the enrollment trend in our district and what we've experienced over the past several years now next fall could bring something different but if we have students that enroll in school and either receive instruction on campus or in a distance learning they're still enrolled and we still get a TA for them so as long as we maintain or continue to increase that enrollment that enrollment and ad a projection that we're using can come true we will monitor that as the kids show up in the fall what our enrollment looks like we'll have a period one attendance reporting that we'll monitor and we'll also we'll always adjust those assumptions as appropriate based on what happens in the fall so based on that I have educational services that services have you guys had any conversations regarding what models you are looking at in terms of how we're going to start school come next year we have what we've done essentially is begin to gather information so we did an extensive parent survey which had really excellent over 3,000 parents thus far have responded given us a nearly half of our families have given us information indicating the answers to several questions one of them being if we open in the fall and every other model or a hybrid model do you intend to return their child to school and the numbers have held really pre steady at about 25 percent saying no that they would prefer to continue in a virtual environment so we are preparing to to adjust our system such that we can offer to those families of rigorous appropriate virtual learning environment so that just as mr.
