that violated a Education Code which requires that baby um approved by September the 15th uh also the district's 18 19 third interim report was not reflected in the minutes of May 9 2019 meeting where it was to be presented so next slide in the area of contributions and transfers the district we found that the district lacked a board approved plan to eliminate reduce or control contribution and transfers from unrestricted general fund to restrictive programs and keep in mind contributions represent resources where expenditures are exceeding revenues thus requiring a transfer of contribution from the general fund in other words they're overspending in that particular resource um we found that contributions had been growing over fiscal years and uh 5.3 and contributions um from 1718 to 0.9 2018-19 special education in one particular area was had the largest increase that we saw 93 percent from its 1819 contribution now oweing contributions signals growing expenditures and a lack of attention to controlling them is one that's not just the list of reduction ideas that's presented to the board by the CBO or the superintendent those can't that can be a fortunate but it should be a holistic sort of that the government board approves and the governing board um follow in order to effectively reduce expenditures next Slide John just as suspended that was an area that the county office identified and it was an area that we saw that needed some attention um the second interim report projects deficit spending in the current year and both for the two uh subsequent physical years now the unrestricted side of the general fund uh projected deficits 0.4 million in 1920 2.2 million in 2021 1.6 million in 2122 and again there was not a plan approved to implement uh in order to reduce and or eliminate or eliminate spending to ensure fiscal solvency next slide fund balance and reserve for economic uncertainties um your requirement is to represent and the second interim report did predict that the district could maintain their three percent minimum Reserve in the uh for the current year in two subsequent years however that was based on the assumption that the district can affect reductions and that we talked about those earlier 4.7 million in 2021 and 1.7 million and 21 22.
um are there any specific agenda items that the board members would like to see on the next meeting agenda david this is mark sims um my comment would be um more about us getting the type of update we got today from the staff in the interim right in other words you know we're looking at three months which i think is fine but getting maybe a repo just and you know it doesn't have to be a lot of work like them just sitting down and cutting a video and sending us a video about how opening up went and what are the challenges just to kind of keep the board prized i don't want them to have to do a lot of work to do a formal document but it'd be really nice to just let us know and actually i think it would help the public uh some sort of art to be clear you want an update from the from staff members on on how the the reopening is has been proceeding well like similar to what we got today from all the staff members i mean actually even what they did today could be done on video and sent to us before the meeting but in the interim doing that as well might be helpful okay this is linda just wanted to clarify when you're speaking of a video are you talking about what staff and students etc are doing for the reopening and we watched that prior to the meeting or is this some kind of can you clarify what you're looking for in the video a little bit not clear with that sure it was uh similar to the reports that we got today not all of them but you know i'm not as concerned about the hepa filters um on a regular basis but for instance the reports that lynn gave out outreach gave birth to three and the principals gave they're all telling us which students are and aren't coming in and things like that that's kind of changing very quickly so it'd be nice to know after the open in october sometime or it could be added on to the agenda of the work study but getting some sort of update okay so and this is a through video before the board meeting so i see what the objectives would be as far as updates something more consistent through video and sent to us so that we can view that prior to the board meeting rather than reading it in paper form or english form correct yes that would be correct okay understood just wanted to make sure that uh annette and david we were all on the same page okay thank you are there any other others uh seeing none um you can move on to action to item 9.01 action item adjournment uh do we have a motion to adjourn lynn i move we adjourn this board meeting and a second linda all right uh linda is seconding yeah um so all in favor yes i second i see that we're all saying uh we're all showing ascent uh all opposed all right uh thank you very much everyone um appreciate your time and the effort of the of the staff um thank you again board members and uh have a good night thank you david thanks so much thanks dude thank you good night everybody thanks everybody later best job jay
now your adopted budget shows that those reductions change to 4.2 million for 2021 so there's a slight reduction there but a very large increase uh to 17.9 million and 2122 and 22 million and 22.23. now um I want to point out um that there's a a error in this slide it's the 1922nd internet report so that first bullet point has has an error in the fiscal year but um it with regard to seeing that large increase for the adopted budget um it signals that reductions um have are being put off so for example if you if you're looking for a ten dollar decrease there's an option to if you're spraying it over three years you have three dollars and 33 cents that you have to reduce in each of those three years if you choose to put that off for two years you're looking at a five dollar reduction in two years it you wait until the third year that becomes ten dollars so again the sooner you deal with the reductions the smaller they are and you're able to spread them over years as opposed to putting them off and and then they they grow large and sometimes they reach a point that the magnitude um is overwhelming so we want to try and avoid that next Slide John in internal controls and prod fraud prevention um the district had not completed clearing accruals as of June 19th um which is well beyond the first interim report which is when we normally recommend that that be accomplished the district lacks a documented process for collecting reports of possible fraud and for ensuring reports are appropriately addressed and the district also lacked an internal audit process next slide next that one's yours John got it um so in the area of non-voter approved debt and risk management um so this is a debt at the district and the board has taken on and outside um the district has taken on uh debt in the form of a cop certificate of participation this is essentially a loan taken out by the district um as of July 1 of 19 uh reports indicated that there was 22 and a half million dollars of this debt on the on the books for Alum Rock and it indicated that they uh way that the district was going to pay off this debt was in utilizing fund 21 is Bond Fund fund 25 is capital facilities or some people know it as developer fees and fund 35 was just County school facilities funds typically this is funds from the state but can be from other sources as well in reviewing those three sources we found that the measure I bond is currently unissued not available for access at this time Revenue estimates for the fund 25 or Capital facilities appear that they aren't pulling in sufficiently as needed to make the debt payment on the cop and uh fund 35 has a balance of 576 um thousand and a little bit more than 576 000 which is clearly not enough to uh to last long with the 22.5 million dollar debt um and there's no additional Revenue anticipated for that fund so it's a little bit worrisome on the on how they're going to pay uh the district's going to pay back that debt um on those sources at this point in addition figment uses outside opinions and reviews um to to in our analysis of the district and I want to point out too uh one is a downgrade by Moody's in June of 2019 they reviewed the district's credit rating for both their cops and Geo bonds and downgraded them in 2000 like I said in June of 19.
in addition in 2000 September of 2017 s p Global ratings downgraded the district's bonds and they indicated in those reports several reasons for their decision to downgrade um and so we indicated that and considered that in our review in addition the district maintains a fund 67 for their self-insurance and while they have a positive position they don't have an Actuarial evaluation evaluation and this is necessary to support the premiums charged and the expected costs and liability of providing the insurance so it's important to have that outside opinion and review of that insurance so that you you ensure that you have are collecting the premiums to cover the costs outside of these uh the opportunities uh the annual payments of the cops would be a burden on the unrestricted general fund and that burden would exceed two percent that's our um our indicator that is it is a burdensome um payment um and so that the cops payment would exceed two percent of the unrestricted general fund revenue for the current and two subsequent years so in summary uh one who uh highlight a few things the growth in the amount of reductions that's straight to the district uh to maintain its three percent minimum reserved and which would indicate a positive certification is worrisome um as Julie previously stated delays and reductions compound the district's fiscal issues so the longer you take to make these cuts the the bigger the cuts have that have to become to realize if the district cannot achieve these cost reductions continues to spend more than it receives not only will it because it depleted its budget but it will depleted its cash resources and that is the concerning part because that's when you become fiscally insolvent when you have the inability to cover your your fiscal obligations with your cash available the risk factors described in the fiscal health risk analysis will require the board and administration to continue to make and Implement difficult decisions failure to access quickly and decisively may result in fiscal insolvency the consequences of becoming insolvent have been severe result in the loss of local control and governance the district must continue to work closely together and in partnership with the Santa Clara County Office of Education it's the district's responsibility we mentioned this in the summary but I want to highlight this is It's The District's administration's responsibility to provide the board with sound information to make informed decisions But ultimately it's the governing board who is responsible for the district's budget and fiscal solvency are there any questions Julie you have any comments additional comments no I you you wrapped it up what I was going to say so hope okay um so thank thank you for the presentation first of all um and I think the staff was going to have a response but before we get to the response um just from board members are there any questions or comments for um for the present presenters of the the ficmat summary and oh by the way I um we just we muted everybody's microphones by default just because we're getting a lot of feedback and background noise so when you want to speak just do whatever to to get my attention and and we'll unmute people's mics um as they speak so I see trustee Quintero I believe a request to speak so we'll go ahead and start with trustee Quintero all right if we can unmute him or does it need to unmute himself no I was I was just allowed to I mean um I'll reserve my comments till after I hear the response from our staff okay thank you any other specific questions or comments for the presenters trustee Chavez I kind of would like to ask questions after I hear the response from um staff as well okay so why don't we we'll hold off on

you for president um first of all we did provide a writ response that's available in the board book um but I do want to take an opportunity to read that response uh just for the records first of all the district would like to thank the ficknet team for their professionalism and collaborative effort in conducting a fiscal health risk assessment or analysis of the district the district will be will

development and adoption number two budget monitoring uh number three contributions and transfers number four deficit spending number five fund balance and reserves for economic uncertainty uh number six internal controls and fraud prevention and number seven non-voters approve debt and risk management the district would like to take this opportunity to provide additional information to mitigate the concerns in the areas noted previously in the areas of budget development and adoption budget monitoring contributions and transfers uh transmission spending from balance and reserve for economic uncertainties the district's Administration has been transparent um in recognizing and informing the board of the need to make reductions in order to keep the district solvent um such as self-certifying its budget with a qualified certifications uh since the 2017-18 fiscal uh fiscal year budget cycle uh moreover the board has taken some some significant and difficult situation or actions in order to keep the district solvent some of those actions included uh include but not limited to the followings number one in December of 2018 the board adopted resolution number 20-18-19 a resolution establishing agreements between the governing board of the districts and the Santa Clara County Superintendent of Schools regarding necessary revisions for compliance with statutory budget requirement and injection with the local control accountability plan this resolution requires the districts to provide monthly updates for an entire year to the county office event on how the district is compliant with the recommendations and and any necessary revision by the by the county office events um number two starting uh with the 2019-20 fiscal year um the board implemented um the

number five for the 20 the 2020-21 fiscal year of proven reduction of 8.21 ftes in classified staff for an estimated Savings of approximately six hundred thousand dollars in conversation with the fake math team as noted in the presentation district District administration was informed by sigmed that they had sought to conduct um the fhra in previous years but was persuaded not to do so by the County Office of red noting that the district has made significant process on the monitoring process uh this is uh supported by the county of Boston Red uh approving the district's um 2020-21 budget which is this year's budget uh without any conditions for the first time since 2016-17 fiscal year budget cycle the district's Administration is committed to continued identifying and informing the

districts with receiving additional support and oversight from us from County Office of Ed and implementing best practice within the district's operation that includes uh that concludes the district response thank you okay thank you Mr Chang so before we go ahead with the question the comments from the board we'll go ahead and take any public comment on either of the presentations or just specific to the item so Mr Gill do we have any public comment on this item yes sir there's one okay um so who is the first person Veronica hey Veronica when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin great thank you so much um thank you so much Ward and thank you um to the presenters and for going through everything um I am definitely speechless I went through the war book and I tried to you know really figure it out all of it and I thought I had something down right and then just going through this presentation just makes them more real and it's devastating it's devastating that um I don't know I I don't know where to turn as a parent I don't know right um because it's just like are we are we like closer to closing schools and keeping them open right as in closing the whole district and I don't know and we're still talking about installations of other things that don't need to be there I understand our facilities need to make sure that they are in compliance and I want to make sure that and we also have yeah but we also need to put a concentration and higher concentration how we can get those funds and one way I think is making sure that the district is putting out about endorsing prop 15 and I know that there was a resolution and endorsement for prop 15 that was out there and we need to do more we need to make sure that prop 50 gets approved and passed because even though it's not going to solve all of our problems it's definitely going to bring some money for our students but not for the deficit the deficit I think it's definitely that is true uh superintendent Dr lady about to figure out how to bring that money in and as well as to the government board but again we need to make sure that prop 15 gets passed and we need to Advocate as a whole District as Community as as just individuals as well so please please we this will not be happening this cannot be still happening and our classified staff shouldn't be always cut let's take a look at Administration thank you thank you next speaker Mr Gill is flor de Leon you begin speaking your two minutes will begin and Community organizer I just want to say uh I was going I um thank you Veronica that you brought that up about proposition 15 and I just want to say that we are right now in all the districts everywhere with all the things that are going around we're going through hard times and our neighborhood district has a deficits of 20 million dollars there's like we know that a lot of unfortunately the money that our schools get comes from property tax and uh and I and I know that you know a lot of the schools are not getting the funds we we need a lot of resources in our schools we need a lot of uh uh support but unfortunately because our homes uh and the property tax are not we we don't get enough money for funding the schools you know and I think we all need to understand that uh you guys are as presenters saying and and and and spirits on the field uh you you should give and I mean I'll give an idea of what other things we can do how do we can get more funds to our district since our district has a lot of you know needs in our school so we need the support from the county in a way but at the same time as board members I invite you and teachers principals everyone in the different schools to work together to pass on the boys to the community that proposition 15 needs to be passed on 2020 because that's gonna bring around 9 million dollars just for alumbruck and our and uh 12 billion in in general and also for the for the Wildfire fires that are happening right now for the community so it's money that we money that we let's get to work let's see what we can do to make things better and get more funds get get more funds and and I know you supported the resolution and uh unfortunately trustee Linda Chavez didn't approve it but um but we hope that we get your support on on passing on the boys thank you next speaker Mr Gill Fontana okay miss fontania when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin [Music] um good evening community board trustees and superintendent Bauer um I think I I have both a question and also want to reiterate the importance of proposition 15 as well um I think my question right now is really around you know how do we um or I guess maybe this is for the ficmat team how much of this of of the cuts you're talking about are at the expense of of students um and and teachers and our schools because when I hear you know the only way to balance a budget is to have more Cuts I also hear every single board meeting about the magnitude of need that our families and our our students have and so I think in addition to proposition 15 which I agree with that the previous speakers that we need to get that across the line um this this November I also want to really urge the the board to continue to work with your Community Partners to think creatively about how to how to meet the needs of our students and families through Partnerships and collaborations that that have really taken off over the last few years all of us are also preparing um for uncertainty as community-based organizations moving forward but again there's just so much need in our community and I'm very concerned that when you know financially speaking when the figma teams does we need to do cuts I'm very aware that that often means you know cuts to program services and quality of education so I really urge us to all work together thank you thank you next person Mr Gill yes okay Miss Andreas when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin Supreme pretend the internal controls and fraud prevention um when he was giving the presentation he said that the district had not complete uh clearing the accruals of June 19 2020 which which is well beyond its first interim report it said that the district lacks of documentation process for collecting reports of possible fraud and insurance reports are appropriately addressed the district lacks an internal audit um how can we um improve this area in our district that's that's very concerning for me as a community member I would love to see more transparency on this and I would love to know how you as a board support this um from becoming a more positive outcome and again I'm going to deal with everybody said uh prop 15 is the way to go right now because I know that all districts are hurting and I would hate to see again classify taking the hit because as we see here it's been classified classified classified and it is not fair that this group which are the people that live in this community are always the one taking the hit on when it comes to budget cuts so that's just my opinion and my comment on this you guys have a good night thank you next person Mr Gill is who is that Jocelyn immerse okay mismatch when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin okay I just want to make a quick comment um regarding this and I did hear what um Brenda sandejas said about classified taking cuts and I agree I also want to point out that area has taken substantial Cuts over the last couple years I think we've been reduced by something like 50 full-time employees while at the same time the district paid out last year over eight hundred thousand dollars in in excess student class size overage money so when you're thinking about making more cuts to the to area or if that is on the um one of the lists please consider the effects that it has also if you cut too many teachers and have overloaded classes that you're spending more money than it had you know I mean that that is equivalent to about 10 full-time teachers thank you next person Mr Gill none no more okay thank you so now um we can go ahead and um take well first of all um I guess before board questions or comments I I think some of the questions um to the presentation some of some of the questions were specific to the presentation so I guess I'd like to give an opportunity to either the fake Matt presenters or board um board staff if they want to respond to any of the specifics brought up in the questions from the public and if you don't have any anything you want to respond to specifically then we can move to the board comments and questions this is Julie although from Matt the the report was um is to show the areas of concern that thick Matt found so if we have we had a concern over deficit spending how that is addressed is a district and board decision that's not something that we're advocating one way or the other in this report it's simply pointing out that that was an area of concern and that brings the risk higher which is why that score was where it was and then the ultimate and high medium and low ended up where it was so we want to make sure that that's clear thank you any other specific response oh go ahead mister I would also like to add that um some of the um uh ways to address this were to were talked about with generating Revenue um that is uh well that would be helpful um that is something that we cannot be assured of so um this is something that we yeah definitely have the district that has to address um and not in hopes of resolving the issues based on uh a potential Revenue Source down the road thank you Dr Bauer I just want to thank everybody for your comments I want you to know that we have been working very hard to address a lot of the concerns and we you know you you remember the the presenter in covera um we have had a a tremendous support from the county office of that in both helping us look at the budget and um resolving some of the deficiencies I also want to remind everybody that we do bring a number of Partnerships that bring tremendous amounts of money that I want to thank John for clarifying that we are not able to place those things in the actual budget so the frustrating part I have reported to the board for the past five six years now that we have been able to do Partnerships with a number of uh Community organizations the county the city and we have been bringing between nine to 12 million dollars depending on the year to help defray a lot of this programming that we need to provide our community because it's needed um this is a very black and white document and we are taking it that way we definitely are committed to looking for ways to cut the budget and that's why this um presentation is it's difficult because it points us to a direction very difficult thing to be made so I want to thank everybody thank you Julie and John for working with us for that snapshot in time we are also very happy that our budget for this year 2021 has been approved with no conditions yay and we're moving forward to really bring the district uh to a place where it needs to be thank you audience for your comments we're definitely right behind from 15 both as a district and on the individual level do you know we passed the resolution and we mean that so thank you to everybody thanks thank you thank you um anything else from staff or presenters okay so we can move to questions and comments from the board has any questions and comments from the board uh trustee if we can unmute oh there we go patiently sorry I don't know what happened you hear me yes okay I'll let my colleague Andres go first and then I'll go after him oh you can go go ahead and go so um yeah thank you so much for that very detailed presentation um you know being a parent in this school for over you know seven years approximately you know I've seen I've seen our district go in in you know this this wave um and you know having started as a trustee last year and making huge cuts in my first meeting um you know I know it's those hard decisions that are necessary to to have a you know a budget that um you know that just uh makes sense and where we're not in trouble right so I know at that time we were getting yelled at you know and and things like that but these are the hard the hard things of being on a board and so um I look forward you know to digging in deep you know into these details and maybe Ernesto you know we can have a separate special meeting um just to look at you know we're at and you know really um have that conversation with our staff um and you know I know um some of our community members you know Mill mentioned where we invite uh you know maybe Community to just be creative of how do we keep ourselves you know in a good place um and of course keeping the cuts furthest away from our children which is what we've always uh done and you know as a board member um continue we'll continue to do um you know yeah so I think at this time Ernesto you know I would like to request you know if if we can maybe have a special or meeting where we um just really you know look at all these details or the reports um and just continuing to create um ways of um keeping our our district in a good place um colvera you're doing a great job thank you so much you know um we've gone through a lot as a district and thank you for sticking through with us and um you know we're we're in a good place like it's not the best place um but as a district and where we've been we're in a much better place um and I you know look forward to being an even better place with passing propositions like prop 15 which I 100 support let me put my name individually behind it and as a board um didn't think twice you know we need to support these propositions and support these ways to bring in money for our our children and um our district so yeah that's it for now okay thank you any other questions or comments from the board okay so then we can um no no you're raising your hands so trustee Chavez you have the floor I'll wait for Quintero I'll wait for you okay so I I mean I call trustee Chavez that's who I saw that's who has the floor if we can't decide on that we'll just move on without comments um okay um move on without comments okay um so no comments from um speaker are you gonna be the last speaker uh president uh you can go ahead and speak and and but Andres was before me um so I yield to him if he still wants to go if not is it just gonna be you and I speaking last it looks like trustee Chavez and trustee or trustee Chavez agreed to not have any comment um because he was after her and he yelled to her look for the purposes of moving forward I'll make my comments and I'm sure the trustee Marquez is interested in speaking after me that's fine um so president Milano is it all right if I speak now uh yes yes I want to thank uh Fick Matt for the thorough overview that you provided I know that these are very difficult uh things to go through but you know it's medicine and you know medicine doesn't always taste good so um but it'll do it'll you know it's intended to get you better um so for that I want to thank the staff uh the the Vic math folks that came over and did an excellent job and working for our stuff I appreciate the comments as well somebody has their microphone on Earth um I appreciate the comments uh that you made with regard to our uh relationship with the Santa Clara County Office of Education then in itself I think really lays out uh the position that we're in that um while it's not ideal we're moving in a positive direction um where we identified as this uh uh you know School District that's not cooperating and that is seeking to go and you know drive itself into insolvency then that would be a problem the fact of the matter is that we've heard it from the folks that came in and reviewed our finances that in fact we are uh in a good position because we're working closely with the folks that look over our our finances so I really appreciate that collaborative Spirit um with regard to deficit spending you know that term is very it's thrown out very Loosely and I want to make sure that we explain that to um I'm I want to make sure that we explain that to the public that this is not definitely opinion this is referred to as a deficit budgeting Sacramento hands you 10 bucks a year and they expect you to have those same ten dollars work work their way through for three years in the future and that that's not the way that life Works uh those ten dollars they handed us last year definitely didn't go that far because of things like covet for example and so those are the realities that we need to factor in we also need to factor in the the very real situation that Alum Rock faces such as the oversaturation of Charters Charters that do not want to provide access to a quality and dignified education to our special needs students and so you've seen it directly from fictment where they pointed out that we've been jumping up in our expenditures and rightly so uh every child deserves a good quality and dignified education um and if in in the accommodations that they need the combinations that they require in order to get that education and unfortunately some of uh the folks out there that promise to to go ahead and and provide education on a on a Bare Bones budget they do that because they go ahead and they turn around kids and tell them go back to your home District well you know what Alum Rock doesn't have that all all of our kids are our home District because they live within our boundaries and so those are some of the realities that we Face here in Alum Rock we also have this concept of path dependence those of us who study public administration acknowledge recognize that uh every single line item on a budget is spoken for I mean that everybody has something that they're interested in in the budget and Alum Rock School District and rightly so everybody can look at it but if somebody has some sort of vested interest in making sure that that line item doesn't disappear and that's what makes what what makes those decisions difficult and you know what we need to take those actions um on they're difficult but that concept of path dependence um needs to be recognized that the same folks that are here telling us that they're flabbergasted by the information tomorrow or the next or or in the next in the next item would go ahead and uh and you know let us know how this pleases they are about the potential cuts that we're putting forward all right and so that's a very reality that we face as um a public organization a public entity that has a public budget we aren't like those privately operated organizations that are out there sometimes they actively are working towards seeing us not succeed um and I'll I'll say that and if they want to speak to that they can come over here and join us at one of our public meetings um I'd like to speak to the issue of the certificates of participation um it's this is not an excuse but it was an action taken by previous board um none of us here other than uh board member Marcus I believe we're here to go ahead and make that decision to take the district and put us in a in a very very precarious situation putting our our general fund in a precarious situation I've been of the mind to go ahead and use the first batch of of bond money to go ahead and take care of that uh that cops the certificates of participation because I think it's the the responsible thing to do I know that some folks don't agree with me but I don't want to take anything that's going to put our general fund at risk uh more than and it is already at risk by just the the realities that we face as a public organization so um you know I've I've mentioned a lot I hope that I've I've in Mike through my comments I've helped some of my colleagues understand some of the nuances as well as some of the members of the public the reality is that Alum Rock faces I want to thank um our staff Colbert in particular who has been there through very very difficult times um anybody else would have taken off facing some of the challenges some of the the issues with their previous board majority uh investigations of All Sorts that really took away a lot of the attention uh from the things that had to be done and and they put him doing a bunch of a million other things to respond to all those issues um that were brought on by the actions of the previous board majority so I want to thank you for that with regard to the the concerns raised about uh internal Auditors uh we used to have that position uh we subsequently went ahead and let it go once we um went ahead and uh were taken under by or our uh were under the authority of the the the Santa Clara County Office of Education so I'm sure Colbert can speak to that reality that we no longer are required to have an internal auditor and that the Santa Clara County Office of Education plays that role for us so thank you for uh the time to speak more president okay thank you uh trustee Marquez did you have comments or questions and we need to unmute trustee Marcus okay right there yes okay I'd like to thank um the um the team that came out to do this uh from for uh from fake mad um I can't pronounce your name Judy but forgive me for calling you Judy and and John it's easier for me um you have no idea how happy I am that you came out to do this this um audit um I myself for the last five years or four years I want to say four years a little over four years I have requested to have a forensic audit of everything and go through every single little thing because um I I have gone on record saying that I I am not um I have lost all confidence on this Administration and um for five years now um I have seen this District going on to deficit after deficit after deficit and after deficit and there were a lot of things that is just way too much to talk about but um the last the last figment when we went into that yes we went through a lot of Investigations um and that none of them have come out to prove anything um that was illegally wrong and those were my concern just tell me if it's anything is illegally wrong I'm a board member and I I will you know own up to it if if we have to do what we have to do well there was a lot that came out and mostly it was in the business department um they found out that um they we had seven cbo's interim all interims coming and going coming and going coming and going and um that was where the whole problem I think originated right there because our books had not been reconciled and in this report you also um mentioned that in 2020 or 2019 I can't remember I don't have a copy of your report um there was also books that had not been reconciled now we cannot do business when the books are not reconciled because we don't know what kind of money we're working with you know that's just simple Logic for everyone um your husband gives you 500 for the month then you watch your pennies and that's all you can spend you know so um and you check to see how much you have got but I remember going um and asking can we afford this when we go into negotiations can we can we afford this yes but we have to tighten our belt in three years this is what I you know I was told like about 18 months later we then get a notice that we are 14 million dollars in deficit and I go how did we get to 14 million dollars deficit an answer that has not a question that has not been answered and I've been criticized for asking how we got there well because I'm basically cons you know uh obligated to ask those questions and so a lot A lot has happened I like your report because this is coming from you guys you're not from you know you don't you don't answer to the state and I realized that you don't answer to the state and and yet um I I I didn't quite get what you said that the county um the county I guess calls you or looks for you when we have gone three years in a um in a a budget that has been disapproved or have been consecutively uh qualified for three years I wish it had come here after the three years and not waited for 16 years and we would not probably see the deficit that we are looking right now in 2022 we could have done something we could have stopped it the letter that strikes me from the county office because we have been under them and I question why did the county not see how much deficit we were going to be going into 2020 2022 and why did did it keep they allowed it they should have stopped us and said in 2022 this is what you're going to be looking at oh that would have perked my ears and said oh no we can't do that so that that information that we got pretty late um it cost us a lot it costs a lot we lost libraries to our children every librarian Art District and 25 schools were closed the lowest pain there was not going to bring much money to a 14 million dollar deficit but the letter that strikes me back and I keep thinking about it was the one the County Office of Education sent to us and said they have a concern about Staffing now I have family members that are superintendents in in other school districts up in the state and I have lots of friends that are superintendents they were following us and the first question they had asked is did you find any close schools did you consolidate schools no that's not happening yet and he goes I don't know you better you better be prepared and yes Charter Schools were just knocking at the door waiting to take our buildings but if we could have given them the charter schools we don't have enough children to sustain 25 schools I mean we were looking at middle schools with only 200 190 students in in a middle school that that can hold 800 students I mean it this was drastic you know and I would have closed schools so that we would not go into this deficit school and yes the the charters would have come in but they would have come in under our we would have given them the charter we would have overseen them and if they weren't doing a good job or any better than what we were doing yeah we could hold them accountable we could have worked something out at least showed the county there we're going to do Staffing because we're going to be consolidating schools because this population that was at ten thousand today we're at 84.
enroll student enrollment here so yeah there are a lot of problems here and the in your report the very last thing it says it said the one I saw that um you know that if we don't take care of this that it can go basically into receivership and we would be losing a government you know or or we cannot be governing anymore I for one I'm telling you the figma team would gladly give that up and have the state come in and look at what we are doing here because death is a different deficit things were being done that never should have been done I brought them to the attention yes the three vote of La the times in the past keeps being bringing up but what about the three vote that's here now that I have voted against these Cuts because there were other ways to cut where it was really going to give us more funding not just drops in a bucket I was going to look at that I would say we still have a chance not to go this direction but the looking at Staffing let's look at Staffing and see how much we can get out of that I don't have the vote I'm not part of that three vote I am not part of that three vote so I didn't create this one and yet look who we are now I have lived here and worked here for over 50 years I I invested I invested in here I I have grandchildren going now and all my all five of my children went through here so yes this is close to my heart I am not here to go on to city council or anything but your report hopefully we can get people elected that are not going to come in just to use this as a stepping stone but we have folks real problems and you just named them to us you just name them right there and you put them in black and white you know and I want to thank you profoundly for that and I would like to know how I can get a hard copy of of your report because I need to refer that back to him when I do not support some of the recommendations that are going to be coming and I'm going to say see this report this is why see this report over here this is why I want to say this is why I will not follow those recommendations that are before us so um thank you again very much and um again I I don't know how to say thank you with um with all the information that you gave us thank you okay thank you um in the interest of time we've had several presentations tonight and I know we have more coming so I'll just make my comments brief um I I thank my colleagues for their comments and and very very thoughtful comments you know I I do appreciate when we can disagree in our viewpoints or our perspectives and do so in a respectful way in a way that that helps us to move the district's form District forward and give confidence to the community that we can can work on things and and work on Solutions and not get mired in in some of the things that sometimes trip us up so so I take that as a positive I think um certainly I think it's it's well known and it has been well known that there are difficult decisions that we have made and and I mean just just quickly speak to the three vote quote unquote three vote currently I mean a lot of those decisions that we've had to make as the current three vote that's quoted have been cleaning up the the messes created by the previous three votes so so you know that you know not everyone gets everything right all the time but we've had to do a lot of cleanup um and and decisions have been made for that reason by that three vote but I think certainly there are still difficult decisions that are going to need to be made very difficult I would venture to say way more difficult than what we've had to to make decisions on to this point um and those are I mean I think we all need to prepare ourselves for that those are are going to hurt at many levels um as much as it hurt to cut Librarians and reduce um you know our Liaisons and all those things that we should expect that and I would imagine more given the reality of all the external challenges that we have with the current environment so that that's one thing is is you know I think we need to prepare for much more difficult decisions to come and those decisions need to be made I agree with a lot of what's been said we can't um you know we can't tiptoe around some of these things at this point we need to we're going to have to put our foot down and and I appreciate the one thing I appreciate about the presentation from fake Matt is that and I would like to even learn more about is that concept of the longer you wait the more difficult it becomes so so these decisions to either decrease spending or increase Revenue are are very time sensitive it's not something that should drag on for months and years and we shouldn't get stuck on all these other side things that we sometimes get stuck on with such crucial decisions to make so I'll end by saying you know the decisions to potentially coming that we may need to make to decrease certain services or whatever it may look like those will be hard but I think the flip side of that that we need to really focus on is how can we be very strategic very thoughtful very long-term focused in how we can look at our Revenue look at the money that comes in and be creative and Innovative and and think about in addition to the propositions that may come our way or that are in front of us now what other opportunities do we have to begin to chip away at these issues these challenges that we have so so I would I would just present that as as a look forward and not so much reflected on what has happened to this point but what can we do to start being proactive about addressing these challenges at this point so those are my comments um so we can go ahead and move forward to um trustee Chavez you did want to speak after all but it's an invite what's that it's an invite oh go ahead I would like to invite the the team to a budget committee meeting in October and if they can make their dates available because I think we need to hear what they have to recommend to us to make what the cuts that we have to make to make the decisions that we have to make easier smoother if we're not more knowledgeable onto what they believe that the boards would also be doing can I ask a clarifying question when you say the team what team are you referring to oh they they referred themselves as a team so the fake map team that's oh yes I think that may have been addressed by Miss Avil a little while ago but if we can open up their mics just to address that question if they can come to the but to the budget committee meeting and we can work around their dates that they would be available and if uh we presented on both of you and I were on there and I mean and if they agree I invite the public as well to the meeting if they could set up a time and date that's convenient for them in October I think we should do it sooner than later I don't want to do it in November I would like to do it maybe the first uh week of October if they are available I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing and then you've got the name right you've got the name right um our job with regard to this report was to point out the deficiencies in areas that cause risk and so one of those risks was deficit spending so it's it's not our um position we we didn't do an analysis such that we could give you recommendations for reductions we are simply pointing out that there is a risk with regard to the level and the length of deficit spending that's happened at the district thank you uh yeah trusty Marquez and can I be next yeah go ahead trustee Marquez and I'm sorry trustee Chavez Okay so she said that they don't do the recommendations but do they have the person that does do the recommendations or best practices that should be followed because I'm sure they've worked with a lot of different districts throughout the state if I may uh comment on that the intent of the legislature and Department of Finance in um assigning us to do this proactive work uh was to assist in identifying uh issues that were commonly found in districts that are uh in fiscal distress um this is to be a road map for you to look in different areas to work again with your county office um as uh said it's it's part of the fiscal oversight that the county office would work with you on if we were to engage in a into a greater degree than what our review of the fiscal health risk analysis we could do so but we would have to engage in a different uh project or a different um work study and we could develop a scope on that and it would be at a district cost okay um can I speak trustee uh yes um I think sometimes you have to spend money in order to get everything in order so I I think that maybe we should ask whatever their fee is that you know look at it as an investment to to make the district run better so can we can I ask them that this be a follow-up for staff because I don't know that this is something that we could do at this time in this meeting but certainly something that can be followed up with staff to look into is that would that be uh and if we can also include scoey in in the uh meeting so that we could hear from them too what their recommendations are directly uh from them okay um trustee Quintero I saw you I think I saw your hand and then Dr Bauer I can't tell if you're trying to swat a Nat or if you have you're trying to be unmuted oh okay so uh Mr Gill can we unmute Dr Bauer and trustee Quintero was that you raising your yeah okay and so and also just you know we'll we'll entertain a little bit more discussion on this but then we I think everyone's opinions have been set forth and and we'll try to hopefully my colleagues and we can try to wrap it up so we can move forward all right got a couple quick questions for general counsel some of the comments that were made said that the investigations uh into particular the the the contractor that my colleague Marquez as well as uh Karen Martinez and izorer and uh contron um were supporting uh in the 2016 contract that those investigations didn't yield anything and that they were just you know nothing and so our general counsel actually reviewed the uh information that we received from the District Attorney's office and I would act I would ask if uh general counsel can clarify as to why they weren't able to move forward on some of the things that they did find and so that's a question that I'd like to post to general counsel or president where a response right now um yeah responsible general counsel with regard to the the DA's uh findings and why they weren't able to move forward if you could just um I don't know if that's possible Mr Ruiz for a quick clarification and then if so we can move to Dr Bauer after that sure just very quickly and without you know going into any detail because that is the subject of pending litigation between the district and deltera but as to the District Attorney's findings he did find that or they did find that there was criminal conduct um back in uh in connection with the 2014 agreement but there was no query there according to the district attorneys uh release an internal memorandum there is no criminal prosecution on that uh only because the statute of limitations for criminal proceeding has lapsed already okay thank you uh Dr Bauer I believe you wanted to say something just wanted to remind the board that we can get direction but let we need to start um not talking about contracts with other agencies this is not the time and just friendly reminder for everybody thank you okay thank you okay um so the last brief one trustee Marquez and then we'll move on go ahead we can unmute trusty Marquez thank you for recognizing me a second time I honestly didn't think that you would go there but I appreciate the fairness that you're doing this tonight so thank you um in regards to the last comment um and naming the ex people that were here so long ago except for myself I'm still here because Andy keeps voting me in um that's the only reason why I'm still here because the community keeps voting me here but um there was no need to go back there because there is more to what was set here tonight it was there's a whole lot more I'm not going to go into it is this embarrassing it's behind is moving forward you know um that it you know the time you know lapsed and they they didn't do anything at that end I just want the team to know that the D.A held that for three years so it could have been done and they looked at it and I guess it just they decided not to go I don't know why they decided not to go with it but the outcome is what we have to look at they did not go with that and instead of leaving it there and starting again this is why we don't go anywhere and don't move forward because we have board members like Quintero that keeps going back to the past keep dragging us back there instead of just moving forward so as the team I just want to let you know that just that's just the way this board has been functioning and I apologize so thank you okay thank you okay so with that I will thank everyone for their participation um on this item and we will move forward to I believe one of our modifications was that correct this was 3.02 right yes so item 6.10 was one of the modifications to move after 3.02 which is District energy saving solar power agreement follow-up um so this is an item that it's informational there's no action on it other than um I along with some of the conversation that we've had tonight it ties in really well and I and I thank um my colleague trustee Marquez for for actually moving it here because I think it fits really well in um when we've had this presentation from fake Matt and the challenges that our district has and what I not only I but many others that I've heard support from at this point from the community feel is a a wise decision to look into the possibility of a of a solar energy program and so with that in mind what I um I'm going to I wanted to request the staff with this item is is to have a a study session specific with this specific item so that we can be very transparent with the community and with stakeholders about the potential benefits or the risks of a program like this and I hear feedback of some individuals who say that you know you know we shouldn't focus on this saying we don't need this and there's other things I certainly understand that sentiment I'm of a different opinion and I I believe that I've heard sufficient support from community that thinks that this actually is a very important item because it it it puts out there the possibility to address these huge issues that we have in front of us the proposition is is one one road that that we definitely need to go down but also this is another Avenue I think increasing your the your streams of Revenue is is something that we should that we should always consider and this to me for that reason is significant so I wanted to put on uh a request to to staff to to arrange a study session for that and it could be in conjunction in my mind with some of the other requests that we've heard tonight as it relates to budget um I think this it's a bigger picture discussion um that that maybe we can formulate a staff can formulate this meeting in such a way that we can address the bigger picture of budget um and I know Maxa was thrown into that discussion as well as but as well the the solar program as as an item for for further um study and and transparency so that was what this item was put on here for are there is there any public comment on this item Mr Gill there is one Veronica okay uh do we can we get the clock up mighty bad okay thank you so when uh you begin speaking Veronica your two minutes will begin [Music] thank you and um you know trust you I don't know I do appreciate you bringing this again about the solar panels um but I also and it is something that I think we should look all forward um you know as we are seeing even more of what um what are our whole ecosystem is going through right um but I also feel like there's also important things that we need to and that need to be addressed before we move forward with this um as much as I want this I want to make sure that our roofs are you know are done correctly that are the the lunch um the lunch cafeterias have appropriate uh things that they need before we go on uh on on talking about the solar panels and you last time that we talked about this was last month and the previous month before that and you say you wouldn't you were not going to bring it up until October so I'm not sure why we keep bringing it up over and over I was really looking forward for October to for the staff to show more um but I'm not sure why is that consistency and maybe you can answer a little bit more of that consistency to bring it over and over every month and again I'm not opposed to it um and I I'm definitely looking forward but I just want to know more about the consistency I also do want to address um trustee pintero um I found his his comment being kind of just you know kind of very disrespectful saying that um it is the same people that come and just um are do not approve anything of what is being done right and it is because as I care I have two children in this district and I was an alumni as well and I care and the system failed me and I'm not going to let that system fill my children fill my children's friends and fail my community I'm not okay the district failed me and I'm not going to do that and there's a lot of people out there that are not going to do and willing to do that so um please um I'm bringing my passion and I hope it gets respected as I respect every one of you thank you thank you Mr Gill next person flor de Leon Miss de Leon when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin uh good evening everyone uh again uh so I just want to be very brief and uh um and I don't know anything about the solar panels but just uh keep in mind we have other priorities that we need to focus and maybe start getting studied on that like the AC you know and other electrical problems that the our facilities might have that are priority that you guys need to oversee everything what's going on in the schools and prioritize and and I understand solar panels will probably be doing savings but sometimes uh the insurances uh leave you the solar panel to to belong to you after so many years when the they need more reparation and I don't have a lot of information I'm just saying that with what I have heard about solar panels but um just keep in mind we still have schools that need the AC and ask the schools what is what they need and help them to uh uh with their infrastructure thank you next person Mr Gill Brenda zendejos okay miss indejas when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin hi good evening board members and superintendent um I just have a quick question um I'm fully supportive of the solar panels I can't wait to get these in our schools because I do believe that they will save us a lot of money in our school and that will provide money for um you know other things that can support our the quality education of our students however I just have a question maybe um I don't know if you can answer this after your presentation um with the solar panels uh whatever company we go with um will they be covering the electrical expense because I know that our district does have electrical problems I don't know what the estimate cost of that is but in that if we do um do we have uh enough money to pay for the electrical outlet problems before we get solar panels or how does that work um that's just a quick question but I'm thankful that you're bringing this up and um thank you for the time that you took into doing this presentation you have a good night thank you next person Mr Gill none okay thank you so the questions or comments from the board trustee Chavez and then trustee Quintero after that okay I'm not opposed to solar power but why do we keep bringing this item back for discussion and information winning a previous meeting trustee Verano um excuse me president and trustee Quintero suggested we schedule a study session to gather information from experts in solar power because none of us on this board or staff are experts in this field csba uses a law firm that does a presentation titled 10 mistakes that school districts make when purchasing solar power and if you want that information I can give that to you or you can actually look it up on the csba website and this item has been on the agenda since April 2019 and we don't need to keep wasting any more time on it and I'm glad that you finally said that we're going to have a board study session on this and then I hope that we can get it uh done as soon as possible because we do need to be looking at different things but also the way the budget is and the way it was being presented before where it said no or little cost there is always costs and to me that was like deceptive uh writing because the you have to fix all the electrical before you can put the solar panels in so that is cost to the district um thank you okay thank you um was it who was the other person that I said Nick was it trusty Quintero I see your hand if we can mute trustee Quintero and then I see trustee yes say hey thanks uh uh for the opportunity to speak I I'm appreciative of the fact that folks are are coming around to the idea that um this is just for information um I think that's what was said at the very beginning in the first item um and uh when we went out to the community and spoke as not a board majority but just you and I we reiterated that this is all an effort to go and get more information to understand what options are out there so that we can in fact realize savings for the district and so um I'm glad that it's finally that we're we're moving beyond um just a note to now folks recognizing that this is just an effort to gather information to understand if there is something that makes sense I personally will not support something that is going to take us into debt something that is going to remove money from let's say um us uh spending uh on fixing our facilities and stuff of that sort so if it makes sense for us if it saves US money then that's something that I can support I will not support something that's going to take us down and put us in a in in any debt um so um I'm glad that uh it seems like we're we're getting around to the idea that uh this is just a search for information the staff's going to go out there look for options that make sense for us so I'm glad that uh we're doing this in a very transparent way that we're here at a public meeting asking for a study session to be established uh sometime in October and so we're really glad that we're engaging in a very very transparent manner to to coordinate this study session thank you president I believe I saw your hand up if we can unmute her I think she yes thank you uh just uh for purposes of moving us forward I'm understanding correctly you just brought it as information only to put it on for a future date which could very well be October but at this point you're just directing staff so that we can have that eventually am I understanding correctly yes is there anything else we need to do in order to move forward I do not believe so okay um I I'm in agreement with that I know that it's not on for action or vote but I think we should move forward I think we're all in agreement that we should talk about it not now but at a later date okay thank you trustee Marquez I believe I saw your hand if we can unmute trustee Marquez hello yes we can hear you all right you know folks we were just given you know a figment report of the deficit spending and the budget the crisis we're in here and and I for one I I want to take care of that so we could get back to the matter of students and their education their test scores you know I want to get back to what we were elected not only just to keep the district solvent but to address the children's education in this community and but you know going into a venture like so and I I told you last time I wanted to bring it back back when I got elected in 2012 or 14 something like that and uh and you know what everybody was doing it then it would have been a really good time for us and we were we weren't nowhere near the deficit spending that we are in right now and I said and you know what I I'm glad that you want to get all the information and give it to the community and for us to do it but you know what we got an election coming around the corner in November and the whole dynamics of this board might change and so why can't we just wait till after the election and you're still going to be here as pres as well you're still going to be on the board president gerano then uh then lead us through it you know if this the Dynamics of this board changes but to just start talking about it and then in December you know um there's going to be a new board or not a new board then start dealing with it there so that we're fully informed that it's not going to cost us any money like you guys keep saying so guys just just look at the figment report and that should guide us thank you okay thank you um my comments I just say that um I agree I think that that I'm I'm hopeful and excited that um it seems like people are at least opening up and again opening up to the possibility of looking into this as a potential benefit to the district a significant benefit financially to the district of course as I mentioned in our presentation that we did um outside and to one of our uh to District Five United I've stated very clearly that we need to be very Vigilant very careful very thorough entering into any contract and we know we have Painful scars um surrounding that so we definitely need to to be vigilant around this however I appreciate um trustee marquez's comments about listening to fikmap because I hear very clearly in the fake Matt report and in their findings that the quicker that we can resolve our issues the better it will be that the the longer we delay making decisions and and we delay you know trying to figure out ways to decrease spending or increase Revenue the the more challenging it will be for us to a point where it may become a very dire situation so so I appreciate that and I think that moving forward in this way looking into this as a time sensitive um item is is definitely following along with what what the report we got from fake Matt was and finally I would just say that in terms of the comment about the election I mean I'm I don't think that I think that these questions about the electrical panels and the electrical outlets and air conditioning and all those things I think that as this study session would answer a lot of those questions I feel like I have the answers to those questions from what I understand but bringing in people to clarify that answer some of those questions for people that are that are very good questions and they're valid but I think that's the point of having the study session and I for a kid sitting in a cold classroom when if when and if we come back or a hot classroom they they don't care about who's going to get elected next who's going to support or not support they just want solutions to problems parents want Solutions and so that's what all I'm trying to put forth if we have have this study session and if it turns out to something to be beneficial then hey let's look to a solution if it turns out that it's gonna as trusty Quince said put us into debt and be this big convoluted muddy thing then you know maybe it's not something it isn't the time if that's the case but again the point is is that we put this um as a study session item so we can learn more about it and figure out what is best for our kids right now what's best for our fiscal situation and everything else so that's my comments on it so um I think staff do you have enough to to move forward with that recommendation okay so thank you everyone for your comments and with that we'll move to let me get back to what um 4.01 is that correct can anyone clarify okay item 4.01 request to address the board on any item that is not agendized tonight um Mr Gill do we have any comments for public comment for item 4.01 there are two okay who's the first person okay missing the house when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin and just a reminder this is on any items that are not agenda's for tonight hi uh board members okay we just want to thank the superintendent for responding to next week on it that I wanted to um bring this to Linda Vista and get it approved but I want to thank her for the email and for the support and to get this moving and I can't wait uh to get this project going um and that's my only comment you guys have a good night thank you um next person Mr Gill onica Veronica when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin great thank you um Lauren again and I want to bring something in um somebody else had mentioned it in the previous presentation about the um the deficit and it was about bringing Community bringing Community Partners that Ellen Rock works with um Community I'm sorry can we pause for a time can we pause our time Mighty bad at 140 two or three just just to be clear are you speaking to one of the items that were um that are the open hearing items nope I'm not I'm just asking for an invitation to bring Community Partners University members into the budget meeting um and okay okay so okay so hold on hold on sorry so we'll start your clock again I just wanted to make sure if you were speaking to one of the public hearing items that we captured which one so we know what your comment was I apologize for that Interruption um can we go ahead and start it at two minutes um just because of the interruption and you can continue I apologize that's okay thank you um again I want to um I hope that the board takes into consideration bringing it a special board meeting um where um Community Partners community members parents um families and the board comes together and started look starts looking at the budget and starts um you know coming into some solutions bringing recommendations about what we're going to be doing with the deficit um as they had mentioned before and that's the FML team we cannot wait um and so I think we need to urge all of us to start looking for those Solutions and how we can but get that money for that deficit so um I want again I I'm calling that we rank all part all of the stakeholders into a special board meeting and start with this Innovative um thinking thank you thank you Mr Gill and the other speakers yes next is Sandra Rivera okay Mr Rivera when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin thank you board my name is Sandra Rivera I'm a fourth grade teacher at Chavez Elementary School I'm coming to you tonight with a few things the first thing is just um to let you guys know how extremely difficult that it is for us teachers as well as for the students to be doing all of this online classes and um having the technology it would be really helpful for us if we could get some kind of guidance on what report cards are going to look like and what the full expectation is for the students I've had lessons planned for the last three days and while they work what I think is working when I try to connect my equipment and then do it with the students they hear awful feedback and I've had to have you know it's help and everything else and out of my 16 years in this District this is the first one where I go home and I cry myself to sleep every night because I feel like I'm not doing the best job for the students um the second thing that I would like to ask is that we have Google accounts yet Google Voice is not set up for us and while we're trying to get in touch with parents um at all hours um during the day having to use our own personal cell phones and such because we're no longer in the classroom I now have parents that have started um abusing that privilege of having my personal either home number or cell phone number because of the fact that I don't have the school number to go through anymore so if we can try to find something so that the teachers can have the mental health of separation between classroom and our home life it would be greatly appreciated by many thank you thank you any other comments Mr Gill yes next is okay dilsa when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin good evening members of the board um this time and it is regarding um the presentation that upon a committee made I had my hand raised but for some reason I didn't got cold and um I just wanna I think that is because of all these two meetings is new well I'm sorry what item is this speaking to um that presentation that them is Allison and flor de Leon made okay okay so I want to talk about a Maxa especially I know we have a lot of non-profits organizations that really want to work with with the district on rebuilding Maxa I myself as a children I recall going in there because my mom worked two two jobs during that day so I didn't have no no safe place but Max and then my when I Grew Older my young my oldest daughter went into a head start there which was a great help because it was just walk it was a walk through my house to there and it was like a five minute walk I would really encourage this boy in that District to partnership with those organizations that really want to rebuild it and bring it up to life and actually work together for the community and for the benefit of that communities like myself and other friends of myself that benefit from having a safe place I'm sure other youth can benefit from it as well and lastly but not least this is where we're talking about um social emotional and help not only for our students but also for our teachers our teachers are doing a great job as much or little they have they're trying they are there my kids love the interactions that they have with our teachers so please let's find well find ways that we could help each other and um and address those those social emotional needs with counselors with one-on-ones with um something that um that this you could work with them I know we have already programs out there for for our children maybe teachers who utilize them and Miss Sandra and every teacher out there you guys are doing amazing you guys are the best that we're teaching our children have and thank you for such amazing work thank you have a good night thank you um are there any other speakers Mr Gill yes so there are a few next is Rocio dureno I'm sorry I didn't get that Uranus you say was the last name yes when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin thank you good evening everyone on the board and superintendent I'm actually addressing um the bonds committee report I also raised my hand but I guess it went by really fast for public um speaking on it my concern is I'm active teacher at Lucha and I have seen those leaks in the ceilings and I'm a little bit concerned hearing that it's actually a coolant that is leaking um I'm just voicing the health concerns if if there's a coolant leak how is that affecting our teachers our staff our students our parents that are on site when we were on site if there's any health hazard towards that um and also just concerned that all this money was placed to give this wonderful opportunity to have HVAC at our schools and to see that it wasn't fulfilled correctly so hopefully from here on we're able to make great decisions for our schools and allow them to have the HVAC at every school but make sure it's done wisely so that when we do have to go back and make any repairs we're doing it so that it's going to benefit everybody and not just in the moment but in the long run as well so thank you thank you next speaker Mr Gill [Music] and you mute it floor floor de Leon okay organizer I just want to uh use the holy comment to um to uh share the what I see with you guys as board members you know uh please respect the time and Presidente jarano if I was a president I will do my job differently you know uh take a lot of time and just to tell you the same story all over and it looks like we're always bringing the elections are coming elections and the voters elect me and that you know please trustee Marcus use your time wise you know try not to spend a lot of time and not only you other other trust like trustees trying to answer your your questions and and trying to fight with each other it's not gonna take us anywhere we need to listen to the teachers we need to listen to what's going on in the schools we need to pay attention like you say um uh trustee markets we need to start doing and getting work um while we need to work which is the education in our schools and you guys are most of the time arguing fighting Finance excuses no I didn't do it no yes you didn't know uh where all their trustees now we're doing a better job we're trying to clean up what it was done you know please Focus now forget about the past Focus now and start working on the future but please respect the time because a lot of times you go back and forth back and forth and use a lot of time please try to be very sure on your comments and respect all these people that is here because a lot of them are have to give their class tomorrow and always consider the time you know always consider your time and listen to yourself before you speak and I I'm learning to I'm learning to but I'm getting tired of this and a lot of parents that's why they don't like to participate to this meeting said I don't like that and I don't appreciate that please use the time wise thank you next person Mr Gill the person still raised a hand was Veronica she already spoke okay nobody else okay thank you uh just a quick clarifying question for you actually Mr Gill regarding the Google uh Google Talk the um the question about the phone uses my understanding as I know as a social worker um before we actually got issued phones um I on my personal phone that's something that I initiated on my own just to set up the the ability to mask my number for lack of a better term is that is the ability to do that is there a district involvement that needs to be happening that needs to happen on that or is it something at the individual level because I don't I do agree that I don't think it's appropriate um for staff to use their personal phones to make um have to make work related calls because you know there's a boundary issue there to me and I there is the the possibility of using other methodologies or methods to do that but I just wanted to ask if from your opinion is it at a personal level that staff should do that and if so do we need to train them or is it more of a district level solution that we need to look at for that and that could be for Dr Bauer too I guess so uh for President bairano we have already implemented a solution since the pandemic happened we waited for all of our special ed team we have done four principles and many of the schools so we informed in the sites which notify us we just enable that service for them so it's a monthly add-on service so it installs an app it is called Google one sorry 101 voice app which is from our Telecom provider we install that app and based on the recommendations or requests received from the school sites or the district admins so we place the request and there is a process they will get notified through an email email has all the instructions how to set up and definitely it masks the number for the classroom teachers it is similar or exactly the same number of their classroom extension okay thank you Dr Byrd is we're going to ask I just want to let everybody know that we will follow up on Ms Rivera's request okay thank you very much okay thank you everyone so we'll move forward to item 5.01 do we have a representative from Teamsters with us tonight um Dr Bauer do you see anyone or I don't see anyone I'd be able to see them okay so if we do have someone they can they can present themselves and we'll bring them back in after the fact if we need to item 5.02 CSEA is there any representation from CSEA yes we have okay um so whenever you're ready you can begin speaking and the floor is yours okay thank you good evening Dr Bauer and board I'm going to make this quick and be mindful of the time I just wanted to let the board know and the community know that the district and csca have reached an agreement on the mou for the return to school for the 2021 school year and how much we appreciate the district management team we worked very diligently and very hard to put this agreement together we had many meetings and we feel and I'm hopefully the district also feels that the the agreement is fair to both the district and our membership our membership has not received the mou yet but we are trying to resolve the issue and hopefully by tomorrow or Monday we can have that resolved and then get it out to our members and I especially wanted to take to thank Mr cernet he was very diligent and understanding our position in protecting our members keeping them safe and to to just all around um welcome he welcomed our comments and suggestions on how we could do that to have a productive school here for however long we have to stay with the shelter in place and the distant learning so we appreciate it and we look forward to many more collaborative meetings thank you so much for listening to me thank you and

in order to support their child's education and also to maintain constant communication with their school sites in addition each school is holding its own input meetings for the learning continuity and input plans and so by September 21st uh School sites should have held the meeting and had collected input from their parents uh speaking of communication araa would like to acknowledge our state

how many of those people were there um I think that would be covera um I was hoping I could see you know how many people would say how many came on but I was searching through my screen I didn't see anything but it's at the bottom where it says participants right now I have 62.
that's where you can always see the number of people that are in there my my okay my cursor has to be on and it's way at the bottom it's not turning on so oh yeah I see it now it's at 61.
somebody just went out I guess yeah we lost one yeah but I just want to thank all the participants that were here tonight and all those that spoke um I I was gonna say something and I I did tell you I'll wait till you know we make our comments you know and uh I somehow I went to the ladies bathroom and then I came back and I can't find my notes for that paper so I'm going to pass for the sake of time you know so um thank you um all I do want to say um stay safe you know and do all the right things you need to do but the way you could really help is staying home to stay home only go out to what you need to go do you know your doctor's appointments your grocery shopping and uh you know that don't have to wash the car just leave it like that until you know all this slows down all the fires and all those things that are happening with us but it's kind of scary when you wake up and you're like in a yellow Globe bubble here and not not a clear I couldn't even see the mountains for so many days and I live very close to the mountains so um I just want everyone to stay safe and stay engaged please stay engaged thank you thank you trustee Chavez with your background on I can't really see um no comments I have no background on and I've been muted yeah you have a background on our screens you have your background on the Golden Gate Bridge is Oh I thought you meant like noise background oh no no the that that I can bear that's why I'm just making sure I can see you whether you're okay because the guy was in in my neighbor's yard are going off oh no comment thank you okay thank you um so I'll just make a couple of brief comments one um I do want to Echo comments by made by a couple of my colleagues with regards to uh covid and and you know we're all like they say we're all in this together and it's so challenging to all of us on so many different levels but I will say just speaking from a personal level in my own you know neighborhood neighborhood and and as I see things going around I I see a lot of you know our community having you know big pachangas big parties and and you know I seen it like look like a quinceanera and like many many people no masks um and so you know that's obviously everyone is going to make their own decision how they what they feel is right for their families but um I would I would just encourage our community to really think about how seriously we you're taking some of the recommendations because I mean it shows in the numbers the hot we have the highest numbers of of covid here in our area and and some of the behaviors that I see um I mean I'd like to be out you know visiting friends and doing those kinds of things but unfortunately you know in my opinion that's not a smart thing to do right now so I'll encourage our community to to think about that in the name of our of your family your community and on all of us the second thing is um I just want to mention that so myself and I believe trustee Quintero as well have been have voiced on numerous occasions are um support and eagerness to provide open space here in the community for families to be able to go out and recreate and spend time with families and you know if and when it's safe to to gather and and you know to different levels out in public we want to support that and there is a North Capitol Avenue there's a new development that is occurring out there on Jim Ellie I believe is the street Jamelia and North Capitol and so one of the things that I I learned when I was on the Parks and Recreation Commission is that when these new developments happen there's a requirement for them to provide a certain amount of of public space to be available to the community and so that there is a park that is being developed there and there's an opportunity to name the park um there it currently doesn't have a name so our community has the opportunity to there's there's criteria that on my Facebook page I put the the Flyers that you can see the what you need to name it it could be after a significant person or a historical event or things like that so I would encourage you if you have thoughts or ideas and want to have that part named after a significant person or event in our community that you take a look at that um and so with that uh uh that's all I have for tonight so um we can move forward to item 6.01 approved word policy actually at this time can I actually um ask trustee vice president to take over I need to take a bio break so on 6.01 can you can you run the show for now yes and actually I'll be running the show because the next item is actually 6 I'm sorry six point six points so go use the restroom take your time oh you know what I'll stay yourself from now oh you'll stay for this one yeah because I do want to I do want to be here for this one I forgot that we had made that modification thank you for reminding me but then after this then I may I'll make my request so we do we did have the request to move item 6.09 before 6.01 um so that is the approved board resolution number 14 2021 censure of board member Dolores Marquez I believe you you have the floor on this it's it's a resolution that you brought yes thank you um and I'll start off I'll just uh read through the um Center and then um go from there the Alum Rockingham Elementary School District board resolution number 14-20-21 Center of board member Dolores Marquez for stating statement of hate and inciting others to violence whereas the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District board by law 9 000 provides the Board of Trustees has been elected by the community to provide leadership and citizen oversight of the district the board shall ensure that the district is responsive to the values beliefs and priorities of the community and for their states establishing and adhering to standards of responsible governance and whereas the Alum rocking Elementary School District board by law 9005 states to maximize the board Effectiveness and public confidence in District governance board members are expected to govern responsibly and hold themselves to the highest standards of ethical conduct and whereas the Alum rocking Elementary School District board by law 9006 Board of Trustees code of conduct provides that the board and its members will conduct themselves lawfully with integrity and high ethical standards in order to model the behaviors expected of staff and students to build public confidence and credibility where that whereas board by law 9006 section 3g-3i further provides that to build trust among members and to ensure an environment conducive to effective governance board members will G demonstrate respect for the public as a whole and community members individually at all times and in all situations H demonstrate courtesy and respect in your Communications by being responsive to one another and to their superintendent and all staff I re refrain from personal comments and attacks against each other staff and members of the community whereas at the August 13 2020 regular board meeting member Dolores Marquez voiced her disagreement with a board discussion stating that as to the superintendent the board president and board vice president at The District's legal counsel I hope they hang you guys for this and whereas hangings in this nation are a symbol of hatred and oppression against ethnic minorities including especially black indigenous and people of color and whereas the board respects the First Amendment rights of freedom of speech of all citizens but finds that Dolores Mark is statement was hateful and incitement to violence and disruptive to the orderly conduct of board's meeting and was made by her while sitting at and participating in her official capacity as a board member and whereas on October 10 2019 this board adopted a resolution number 8-1920 censuring Dolores Marquez for receiving and depositing a five thousand dollar casher's check on October 4th 2016 in violation of the law and board policy and failing to produce any documentation and substantiate the source of the money and failing to report contributions totaling 1750 and failing to report expenditures totaling 2330 on campaign disclosure statements in violation of the law for which she was fined seven thousand five hundred dollars by the fair political practices Commission and whereas in resolution 8-1920 the board also requested that Dolores Marquez publicly disclosed and substantiate the source of the five thousand dollar cashier's check referenced above to assure the board and public there is no conflict of interest on any matters before the Board of Trustees whereas Dolores Marquez has refused to respond and failed to disclose and substantiate to the state and to this board the source of the five thousand dollar testers checked she received and deposited in support of her 2016 re-election campaign and whereas the board finds that by her statements and conduct and her failure and refusal to respond to the previous censure resolution 8-1920 Dolores Marquez has demonstrated that she is unwilling to abide by the policies and principles of a good and responsible governance by which this board has adopted and is responsible for observing and enforcing now the there it be resolved that the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District Board of Trustees does hereby Center board member Dolores Marquez for the conduct as described above be it further resolved that the board denounces Dolores marquez's views of hate speech and incitement to violence and finds her conduct to be a syrian's offense and violation of board bylaws be it further resolved and directed The District shall not disperse reimburse or spend any funds for any trainings workshops conferences or events training materials or related travel or any other expenditures for the benefit of Dolores Marquez until such time that Dolores Marquez has attended and completed trainings in one anger management two board governance and three implicit bias to be selected and paid for by the district and she provided reasonable proof of the completion of such trainings to the satisfaction of the board be it further resolved that the Alum Rocky Elementary School District board directs that a copy of this resolution be placed immediately on the district's website for a period of 60 calendar days as appointed and especially elected officials we must set the example for our students it is quite upsetting to hear you the Lord is lie over and over as I previously mentioned you were censored censored last year and you were giving a map on how to repair things how to make wrongs right and learning from that experience but instead you lied through a tantrum and told us you would bring an attorney to address us and to this date you have not done either you stay here take up space and time twisting words and lying to your viewers in TV Land the good thing is that I know the members in our community are intelligent can read through the lies and understand how serious it is when a civil grand jury recommends that you the Lord is resigned because of some of your actions as a board member and of course when the truth is brought up you want to cover it and state let's just move forward we must be able to have difficult honest conversations when although we may disagree at times we can always promote promote and invite intelligent thoughtful honest discussions focused on our children of Alum Rockingham Elementary School District and Dolores just because you disagree with what is being said or how something is being said it has never never okay to speak with hate or incite others to violence the behavior you continue to display is not only disappointing embarrassing but unacceptable at this time with the harano's permission I would like to give you time to respond as I'm sure you have plenty to say about this matter thank you so before we go there um I want to make sure that we provide Pub time for public comment um do I move to motion I'm sorry before we go there I'm sorry go ahead what was that motion to uh right before we move on I'm sorry I uh motioned to um accept the board resolution center board member Dolores Marquez okay um and just clarify Mr Ruiz that the person bringing the item can um put okay so is there a second to that motion thank you is there a second to the motion that's on the floor oh yeah if there's a second to the motion oh I'll second the motion um just because I'm unmuted right now so now that there's a motion in a second um if we could take public comment on this um and then we can do questions and comments after that um so Mr Gill do we have public comment on this item yes sir there are a few okay can we get the clock up um who is the first person listen Golani okay Miss singalani when you're unmuted and You Begin speaking your two minutes will begin thank you I'd like to note that trustee Dolores Marquez is the second member of the Alum Rock 3 to threaten our superintendent and her colleagues with physical violence and the last of that old board majority that's left on this board our students and families deserve ethical leaders who do not speak with the hate we hear too much of in this country who behave with dignity and integrity who treat our community and their colleagues with respect who take responsibility and don't waste our time pointing fingers and blaming others trustee Marquez you have governed on this board for nearly 12 years the idea that you have no responsibility for the problems the district faces now is absurd beyond belief if you won't take any responsibility for governing this District then why are you taking up a chair why are you asking this community to put you in that chair leaders who take no responsibility and people who threaten our community with violence have no place in leadership thank you next person Mr Gill it's Claudia when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin hi can you hear me yes okay hi my name is Claudia cuello I'm a parent and a member of Empire now I do appreciate that you guys are doing this and I do agree that there has to be an example stood out for the rest of the board members and just in general this is not acceptable but I also do see um how other members also laughed other members also pushed um this board member to limits to where she had to say this and that should not be bypassed either um it should also be made aware and they should be um so as examples as well so because at some point um every board member has pushed at the limit and said things they shouldn't have said and it's just something that is not it's ongoing you know always wasting time always being aggressive and it's come to this to where she had to express herself out of um frustration perhaps because I was in that meeting and there was things that happened before um she stated that that are not being addressed right now and um I do agree what she said was wrong but I I also would like for you guys to address the fact that there was other things wrong within that meeting as well thank you next person Elizabeth Sanchez hey Miss Sanchez when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin good evening members of the board and superintendent um my name is Elizabeth Sanchez and I am parent here in the district and I'm also part of as a community member um so I just wanted to Echo what um um the participant Claudia and fellow member of says that we would recognize and applaud you know the members of the board specifically to bring this up to the board members and that are treating it um with all seriousness as it should we would also like to request that you know uh comments that incite violence and demean others are continued to be brought up to the attention of the board and are treated as violations of the board by our laws as they should be in addition the behavior and the reactions of other board members which sometimes are tend to be uh passive aggressive against our immigrant community and members of colors and ethnic minorities should also be taking in seriousness these derogatory comments take away and extend the time necessary to complete and approve board policies that are listed on the agenda beforehand and we ask that the board refrains from such comments and focus on the vital critical and decisions that need to be made um that will ultimately impact our children's education so thank you have a good evening thank you next person Mr Gill is Vector Vasquez okay Mr Vazquez when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin uh Buenas um yeah the comments made by trustee Marcus took me by surprise they were necessary definitely hateful and like the racial Equity awareness that's necessary as a policy leader having such racial Equity awareness is critical as we move forward in our policy development I hope this boy doesn't does vote to send you the trustee and I agree with the comments made by the public that we must take races bias xenophobic Sexes and despotism just a series in the future we know that lynching is is a process used by mobs to terrorize black Mexican and Asian communities usually people who assert the rights the voting power the human rights and who sought employment and Justice in society they should not be taken lightly we know that the American South used this strategy on free black people to control them we know that then so NAACP has recorded these incidents and over 70 percent of all lynchings have been impacted black Americans but we also know here that in the southwest mexican-americans were the victims of lynching at the hands of wide mobs and even the police call police force cause of Texas Rangers It Is by no coincidence that also the only woman to ever be lynched in California that we know of was the Mexican-American woman named josefa Segovia in the last couple of months Even in our in California New York and Texas there's been at least four lynchings of black people in our communities some say that the police murders that we see today is a new form of lynching that we are seeing I agree with the community and hope that all the trustees can learn from this experience and then I use this kind of word in oppression lightly they're not welcome in our spaces of decision making and I hope that we take this as an opportunity to learn and grow as a board thank you so much thank you next person Mr Gill yes Brenda Zendejas missendejas when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin hi good uh good evening board members and superintendent it is important to being civil with one another when being an elected official this vote shows that Alum Rock will no longer tolerate threats or inappropriate comments of any trusting from this leadership all board members should always be respectful to each other and to the community and to their superintendent and I support the censorship of any board member who breaks this I think this is a learning experience for everybody on this board and anybody thinking of sitting on this board to know that you will be held to the highest standard when you have a seat that you are being put here by the public and being put here by the public means that you have to respect each other and everyone in your community and I want this board to change into the right direction and I know it's going to happen and I have faith that it's going to be um a more positive outcome of not only these board meetings but as a whole District so I hear support um any censorship of any board member who breaks any of these things when um you make unacceptable uh comments thank you next person Mr Gill is Laura um I'm sorry what was that is okay um do we have okay hello is Laura is that the person instructions foreign uh I don't I don't think she can hear you what does it say Avatar before you switch it yeah interpretation okay interpretation in English interpretation yeah Senora Laura oh she's on mute can we unmute her son see okay interpretation um it says Spanish it just says Spanish okay mucho gracias can we test it before we go um say something interpreter please okay they say um yeah I'm sorry um it sounds like we already have um interpretation uh-huh um Corina thank you um next person Mr Joe and you're on me oh there you go well that's Veronica okay Veronica when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin great um I'm bored and again thank you so much for um to trusty Karina for bringing this resolution and I hope everyone does approve it um and vote on it um I also want to Echo what my colleague said about um what it took us to be here right and if we go back into those recordings we see that inside of microaggressions that daily that are happening in this war unfortunately it is not the first time and not only has she or any or everyone else experience microaggressions for certain from certain trustees but also the community I have experienced it myself with some of you trustees so I want to make sure that because we are censoring something like this that we also look into sexism focusing and everything else that needs to be censored um it is just as crucial that we censor any kind of violent language and any kind of microaggressions that we might not see daily so I urge you all again to continue on with your profession professionalism as you've been all doing today it's been great um really targeting the like us just professionals um I really appreciate that thank you thank you next person Mr Gill gilzer okay tilsa when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin thank you I would like to Echo what the rest of the speaker said Thank You trustee Corine for bringing this to the table and taking matters as serious as they are this kind of statements about color vocabulary is not acceptable especially in this time where we're living on on fear and people in our communities being constantly attacked by racism microaggressions and everything out there but I also want to Echo that it is true that our trust is from this board has been microaggressive and they have used their power to not only uh being aggressive to each other but also to that community and to let people here I can recognize that I was a victim of violence and my corrections as well as people outside and we want to make a call out it called out that to take actions every time and on time and stop it when we see it or when we heard it uh stress these you guys need to hold each other accountable not going into these kind of situations get up situations get out of hand so um thank you trusty Karina once again for stepping forward for being that leader that our our Board needs now more than ever and for taking matters as serious as they are and for the rest of the trustees please learn from this situation please keep this kind of of um ongoing board to meetings I'm going this is how it should look like concentrate on our kids education concentrates on being humble to each other uh would you like don't have to be best friends but you guys do have to respect each other and if we talk about families and we talk about kids then let's show with that let's start with that so thank you everybody and have a really good evening thank you next person Mr Gill I'm good okay thank you everyone um so at this time we can there is a motion in a second we've had public comments so we can open it up to comments from comments or questions from the board um are there any comments or questions from the board trustee Chavez uh I want to thank the district for giving her the opportunity to take the classes the anger management class and I want to invite um if it's at all possible the whole board to go um I think it'll be beneficial to all that's it thank you thank you okay any other questions or comments from the board uh trustee Quintero go ahead um yeah um you know the ability to engage in our Democratic process requires us to be able to speak freely to engage to share ideas uh even if we don't agree with them um and so that's uh what allows us to get our job done um threats of violence uh go ahead and pour cold water on on Democracy they go ahead and they shut it down even the most conservative the Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was of the mind that uh individuals had to that it was more it was more healthier when people had different opinions and they were they were forced to go ahead and interact with each other um that was in reference to a to a case involving um a lawsuit about student groups people not wanting their fees to support groups they didn't agree with so the point that I'm trying to make is that this there's this free flow of ideas is important uh we are all uh elected or appointed here in one way or another to go ahead and bring those ideas and we bring the voice of those folks that brought us forward and um it's important that we be able to do that uh without any without any types of threats and stuff of that sort uh so um thank you for bringing this forward um I have a quick question for Council uh with regard to the language because I don't want to move forward on something if it's not going to be uh going to be able to stand up to some legal challenge um does the requirement that our colleague attend uh those classes is that going to be is that enforceable is that legally enforceable by this board through the action tonight or is that something that can be challenged and it's going to take us into a big ole Miss and a lot of problems in the future and so that's a question for Council board president I don't know Mr Ruiz do you have a response for that so so the the board cannot compel that attendance as a condition to any board member exercising their rights as an elected official which would include voting rights and and stipend rights and benefit rights things like that all right um so but uh in in the language on the item it says uh uh access to trainings and stuff of that sort of travel professional development this is is that included because you mentioned stipend rights but uh would that apply to the other stuff oh I'm sorry uh okay I don't understand your question no wouldn't apply those because those are those are privileges that that the board provides to um one another gotcha okay all right thank you for that information okay thank you um I'll I'll make a couple of comments um as as a person who was uh individually called out in the um with regards to this incident I I have a I think the word that stands out the most for me is is disappointment and disappointed I feel I I feel like I've I've done nothing but you know treat treat you trustee Marquez with with the utmost respect to the extent that I can in spite of comments that are thrown my way or things like I I always try to be respectful of you and I appreciate you acknowledging that on numerous occasions um so and I try to do that with with everyone Community other board members sometimes do I slip up possibly I mean I'm I'm not perfect and I may have you know said inappropriate things and I am accountable to those things my words are my you know palabrasm is important and so so um but you know I just did not feel that I deserved that kind of what I would classify as vitriol for only trying to demonstrate respect um almost invariably to you so that's one feeling that I had um the second thing that I as I thought about it is is just like the accountability of it when I I thought about it and I talked to you know just some people in general like if we if we had a kindergarten student or a student in our schools tell another student in a zoom session let's say they're having their synchronous time and they tell them I hope they hang you they're going to hang you what would we do would we just let that slide or is that an opportunity for that person to grow and develop and realize the the error of their their ways and for a child you know to learn that that's not the way we want to function in society and particularly in our district so so I think you know if we have those expectations for a student why would we not have it for ourselves similarly I think you know I know that our staff and from Administration on down like there I know there's not everybody in any organization gets along 100 and there are disagreements and and people think about things in a different way but if we had a teacher tell another teacher I hope Dr Bauer hangs you or I hope they hang you like how would we what would we how would we respond to that teacher for for making a statement like that so that's another question I pose and then finally for me I think you know part of our role as stated in you know numerous documentation and just in terms of governance is really to set the tone of the district to to kind of provide the the the model or the or the the you know how we want to be as a familiar or as a community or as a district however you want to call it and I think that you know there are certain respecting people's I I always try to allow everyone it's a fine line that you have to walk as trustee Chavez and some of you know as president between allowing people to speak and have their first amendment and saying what they feel because I agree with trustee Quintero we need to be able to dialogue and disagree there's a fine line between allowing that and putting kind of putting a stop to it when it gets too far and and for me this was very clearly an incident that that went too far and so for all those reasons that this you know I support I think we need to take these types of things very seriously and and oh and the last thing I'm sorry but the last thing is that I do take it very seriously if someone is inciting a group of people to hang me um you know whether whatever they meant by that those are the words that came out and we've seen I I don't you know we've seen crazy things happen in society all the time and I don't mean to insinuate that anyone in this meeting who has in my in my estimation a vested interest in moving us forward that anyone that attends these meetings is is like is would do that but there are people in society who who are influenced by by comments certainly and and I take that very seriously for myself and my family and so for all those reasons um I I will be supporting the language in this resolution um is there any other comments from the board or questions and trusty Marquez I certainly would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond if you so choose and if we can unmute her just in there you go so trustee Marquez if you would like to respond you're unmuted before we call for the vote on this item yes to Allison Claudia Elizabeth and any other parents that were there at that meeting I profoundly apologize and I'm not just saying it just to say it and get over it no I do one of the comments was said by one of the parents that perfect I I think maybe she's just at the frustration point you know like how many of us get to a frustration point whether at a frustration point or not a frustration point and I was I was so out of order in doing what I did and saying what I said and I apologize for that to you parents that take the time to be at these meetings and to make it a point to put it in your calendar to be at this meetings yes I have worked with so many different boards but this one on my last try here it's a tough one but I move forward with all of this because I know that the people that have spoken here tonight are not my they're not my constituents and I was I don't know what I was going to do in my constituents had come up to the podium and hold me and I would have probably gone to their place or talked to them on the phone and just say oh my God you know forgive me I I really am sorry and I don't know how much how else and how much more I can say that that um that yeah I was totally frustrated frustrated that I was trying to get those parents back their time to speak that you the gerano as a president were taking minutes away and you Karina you were negotiating with the president well let's just give a minute and a half you know and it was going back and forth and all I could think of this is why they go they come is to speak and to be taking that minute away I I just had to interject and I had to say something in favor of the parents that I wanted to hear what they say and just give them their time I profoundly apologize profoundly apologize thank you any other questions or comments from the board okay I I actually would just like to clarify my understanding is that every person in this district is a constituent of ours as a trustee here I know that I represent every single person within the boundaries of Ellen Rock School District um to represent the to the best of my ability their their best interest and so not all of those people may not support me and I certainly understand that you know if that's what was meant by trustee Marquez that these are not her supporters that's understandable but I think we need to remind ourselves that our constituents that we are accountable and responsible to as every single person in the district um and the other thing I just I won't go into details but I think that the characterization of what the hanging comment was in response to is inaccurate and anybody could go back in and see what particular item that was in response to so um I will leave it at that are there any other questions or comments from the board and if not we can go ahead and take a vote okay so we will call for the vote on this trustee Chavez oh can we I mean trustee Chavez go ahead uh yeah I think I had to say something um maybe because of the way um I guess in dealing in business a lot of people they have certain ways that they're they speak and some people I remember one incident where my husband told me that I had gotten upset because somebody was cursing at me and they every other word was that word and then and I told them can you deal with this customer because it they're offensive to me and he says why they're not you know that's the way that they interact with people the the f word is nothing to them or the way they were brought up that that's what they're used to and I don't even he said I don't think that they know that you're offending them so you shouldn't get offended because they're only words and it doesn't seem like this person is gonna follow through on any threat that he was saying um if he didn't get the price that he wanted for his repair but at the same time it took me a while to to play it back in my mind and think you know I need to forgive him because I don't know what his situation is but I also know that if you don't forgive somebody and and you hold on to it you damage yourself more and the incident of her saying uh hang you it's to me at the time when I heard it it was like I didn't think that that's what she meant um because I I guess because I've shared with Dr Bao before when my mother first came to this country um the reason she came was because her husband and my brothers all my brother's father had gotten hanged and she was able to move past it and she didn't hate them and she taught us look sometimes people will do things and say things but later on they're remorseful and I think that I'm glad she told me about it because I didn't grow up hating people for things that they said or did and later on at the time it felt hard to hear but I knew that those people need help and that's why I asked can the whole board go because you know everybody has a different life and I'm sorry for getting a cracky voice but um I just think that we need to forgive and move on and maybe we can get past this be more respectful to each other but to me I don't think that that's what she intended to you um that's just my thought and I hope that you can all forgive whatever what was said because I don't hold anything and I just truly think that taking the classes is gonna help and it wouldn't be a bad idea if we all took them because maybe we all need to understand where it comes from there's a route to everything and that's all thank you okay any other questions or comments from the board Miss trustee Quintero I really appreciate this opportunity for all of us to engage in I know it sounds kind of weird everyone that we're engaging in some sort of like a therapy session in front of a bunch of people unfortunately on the brown act uh doesn't allow us to go into a closed room and engage in this type of uh dialogue or else we get in trouble um because it'd be a violation of the brown act and so I do appreciate the comments that have been made my colleague Marquez I do believe that uh even though we engage in some back and forth I I do believe that my colleague Marcus does have um uh she she's had the interest of our students when she's made decisions in the past obviously other things we've disagreed on and we've been very very public about it um and so I do appreciate the fact that um she was able to step up and and apologize to the folks that were were present um and so that was great uh to my colleague Linda I do appreciate that opportunity for us to go ahead and as a board uh possibly look into uh how to work with each other I I I'm obviously been very very clear on my my opposition to some of that uh some of the things that you stand for such as the issues on immigrants immigrants rights uh women's rights stuff of that sort um but I I definitely believe that you have the opportunity to speak uh and not be threatened or in any way she performed me to feel like you can't uh say that and I would I would defend that your ability to engage in that in that in those things that I don't that I don't agree with um and so I appreciate this opportunity for all of us to engage in this I think it's a very healthy dialogue and hopefully we can uh go ahead and take some steps to to move forward and heal and work as a work better as a board thank you any other questions or comments from the board I do agree that I know this is taking time but I think that this is time well spent um in terms of our ability to to continue to to work while at the same time holding each other accountable so if there's any other comments please uh colleagues feel free to voice them I I I'm open to entertaining any other discussion before we take a vote and if not that's fine too okay well see none um I will go ahead and call for the vote as always as I see you here on my screen um so the first I see trustee Chavez uh the mo or the motion is to um to approve of the

like to keep it as short as possible okay why don't we go ahead and hear your presentation then and then we'll um we'll go ahead and move forward after that so do you need the screen and if so does he have it Mr Gill there we go yes so thank you um again the an auto actual report is actually you know as a reminder it's a look back in terms of how the districts uh did in terms of how much revenue we receive and also how much expenditures uh we incurred um in the previous year which is uh 2019-20 um with that I'll start with the total revenue in the general fund um in total the districts receive 134.7 million dollars of that total um 114.5 is unrestricted dollars and 20.2 is restricted um this slide shows the total uh general fund expenditure uh which the in total the district spent uh 137.3 um of that um 92.3 of it is unrestricted and 45.45 million is restricted dollars um this graph shows you a summary of both the unrestricted and restricted side um starting with the unrestricted general fund uh the districts started the year with approximately 11.2 million dollars in beginning fund balance uh it received 114.5 in Revenue uh total expenditure of 92.3 um a total transfer out to the restricted side of 20.9 and the districts actually incurred a surplus um in the unrestricted general fund to bring the ending fund balance uh to 12 from 11.2 to 12.4 million dollars um on the restricted side um the district started the year uh with about 4.4 close to 4.5 million dollars um and a total revenue of 20.2 million dollars uh the district spent um on the restricted side 45 a little over 45 million dollars and we see a contribution from the general fund of a proxy 22.5 million dollars um spending down the carryovers um of 2.2 and ending the year um with 2.2 on the under certain side so if you look at the net uh balance or the ending fund balance uh for both the unrestricted and restricted um the districts is end of the year with approximately 14.7 million dollars in any fund balance uh this chart chart shows you the um the details of all the restricted um balances and the general fund uh we'll start up at Lottery um Lottery uh we have a little over nine hundred thousand dollars in carryovers for next year and this is deliberate because we're um saving this money in order to implement um textbooks um that will will lead to adopt uh in the coming years um we have uh some carryovers in the classified school employees about 63 000 we received some one-time money um in SB 117 uh related to covet and so we uh we have a reserve our carryover of 86.6 um thousand uh for that button um the low performing student block grant uh we have a carryover of 171 000 uh routine maintenance this is a contribution that we make from um the general fund to our routine maintenance um and there's close to five hundred thousand dollars in unspent money there that will be used up next year um and then for other local restricted these are mainly um donations um from local governments uh to school sites and the districts um and these for some of these monies are mainly condolences for certain purposes um we have a little over 931 thousand dollars and then lastly um you'll see here that uh the Coronas Relief Fund we actually have a negative here and it's really not a negative it's the way um the state has allowed us to account for this money so we talked about the corona uh Relief Fund we're really getting most of our funds actually all of her fund in year 2021 but the state is currently allowing us to go back uh to the middle of March when um the pandemic hit and apply any expenditures um that we are able to uh use the the corona Relief Fund for and so while you see that there's a negative 450 um that negative 400 fee will be eliminated once we receive the money in the current year and so as a total um there's a carryover on the unrestricted general fund balance of a little over 2.2 million dollars and with that that concludes the presentation of the unordered actuals okay thank you Mr Chang so now trustee Chavez if you would like to put a motion on the floor you yeah no I don't want to no more okay motion okay there's a motion to accept or approve the report and a second is is there um public comment on this item Mr Mr Gill is not there um so is any questions or comments from the board I do okay trustee Marquez um Mr Chang um Calera the the book I have an 8.1 okay is it did not show me what you had up on the on the screen right now so can you put up the screen um the first one and I have questions on the first one and then the second page foreign that one and then and then we'll go to the next one so um on let me see if it's kind of small for me to read okay um when you thank you when you combine the general funds like that um restricted and non-restricted okay um you have you have something that says straight their capital outlay and outgoing and other correct yes okay so is that a capital Outlet a charge to programs that you we are working with or do dealing with or how did we get the money so the capital outlay uh refers to uh both um Capital uh projects or um or or programs that we send money out so for example in the unrestricted Journal fund uh the bulk of it is for our surf program where we're paying for our yearly premium to participate in that program and this is second year but this is the first year that uh we incurred on there um on the restricted side um those are some of the charges that we send to the county for them to run um both of it our Alternative Program also special ed so those those are the bulk of it and and those money come from the county office no those money those money comes from the state um bulky in the unrestricted side um in the form of lcff and so some of those monies are you know we referred to a cost on the um on the restricted side where the county office is serving um District students and so um on the restricted side the districts typically and most sisters don't receive enough funding process for special ed um for to serve our own programs and also to support uh the programs that are run by the county office so that's where you see the excess cost where um the you know the district receives special money ask for money for special ed but it never receive enough so on top of that um the the County census appeal for all the students that they serve on our behalf Okay so hello yeah go ahead okay so then when I looked at that at the final total of three million um that 3 million is then um is it just general fun not restricted around restricted just general fun so we could use as we need uh which which line are you referring to uh trusty Marcus loudly you know when you get to the total at the other end the 37.59 the three seven yeah the three million 759. so are you telling us so those are monies that we can use and whatever we want I use it's not restricted or not are unrestricted and restricted it's just money for us to use the the 3.7 is a combination of the um which is the 922 um plus 2.8 um the 922 pertains mostly of our serve programs that we pay out on another 2.8 is related to our specialized services that we're paying the county I understand and now when you combine them does it then become unrestricted or becomes restricted no when you combine them they just combine both the uh the you don't differentiate the the two it's just as a total general fund expenditure in that line item it amounts to 3.7 million dollars but off that 3.7 um 922 um are unrestricted expenditures and then 2.8 is restricted expenditures I got it all right I got that now can we go to the next page please this one yes thank you that one on a routine maintenance account now these are monies are the end and balance of all of these um these uh Lottery classified employees the block grant that's still there right yes yes and those are all restricted dollars [Music] discharge right here is uh I I saw it from the top so if this is restricted with and because of the parenthesis I don't think I don't think that most of us got um got to hear your explanation so the coronavirus really Relief Fund the CRF it's in parenthesis a 250 a 450 000 200.
so the the so it became restricted but you also said the state will let us use it that's how they just give it to us and we get and we can use it yeah the the corona uh the coronavirus Relief Fund all of it uh are restricted dollars and if you look at the um 2021 uh 45-day Vision a revision uh budget report you'll see that all of that revenue is being recorded um on the restricted side of the general fund and that's by and that's by state rules um and so the the timing of the um of the funds was a little tricky um the state is providing that Fund in the current year in 2021.
um however uh the state recognizes that okay there could be expenditures um in the last fiscal year that you can use this money and apply this to um for example if you need to um allow CNS program to um incur additional expense to run some of their programs so we can use that money for that and there's a list of allowable expenditures right that we can apply to coronal virus really fun to and so it's a timing difference in terms of how this is being reported um and so last year we were able to identify a little over 450 000 that we can use the coronavirus and refund for um that 450 will then zero out in the current year uh once we when we apply that to the revenue that we received are you talking about the money that has not and the state hasn't sent us yet correct and what what is the amount what is that amount that the state has not sent us uh I believe where it's about 9.5 million dollars that we're receiving in Corona virus release fund and it's a one-time fund s okay but that that's the coronavirus money right correct yeah okay so then on top of that we get our Ada right uh yes most are are Ada money that we get in lcff will not be reflected on this chart it will be reflected in the unrestricted general fund okay so because um from the last time uh we had we we have we have gone down um to 84 um 88 400 students approximately you don't have to give me the whole thing revenue is that for the Ada uh what portion of the revenue because it's different type of Revenue or the Ada okay you know the money they send us for every student that sits here on the chair you know in our district you know they send it and we were we were at at 10 000 students and now we're down to eight so what is the loss difference and I think you're referring to lcff Dollars um because that's mainly the bulk of the revenue that we received okay um yeah and so roughly we received um I remember there's there there's new changes allowed this year um in terms of the whole honest um this year you may recall that at the 45-day division um I informed the board um that there's a whole kindness provision where uh the district is I mean the state is not collecting Ada um for the current year and therefore they're applying the whole part in this which applies to last year's Ada uh with respect to calculating lcff dollars and so um it will be based on last year's Ada um and in terms of lcff dollars uh roughly about 99 uh million dollars index okay okay thank you okay thank you um so we we're at 10 20 right now do we want to go ahead and take a vote on this and then and then see if we take action on our time do we is there any other questions or comments on this item there is a motion and a second on the floor already okay so let's go ahead let's go ahead and take the vote on this one as I see you on my screen um trustee Chavez did she disappear no I'm here oh trustee Chavez I didn't hear your vote on this um I guess so um just that anytime it's in the negative you know I I just don't feel right about it proving it but I do want to support the staff and all the work so I guess it's a yes trustee Marquez I'm going to abstain I still have way too many questions but given the hour that you just said we need to extend I'm just gonna abstain on this um okay uh trustee Quintero I and myself I so motion passes for in favor one extension trustee Marquez um so at this point it's 10 21 is there any um recommendations can we move uh to 12 o'clock the meeting meetings there's a motion to oh go ahead or were you done who me yeah yeah I was done okay so there's a motion to extend until 12 o'clock midnight is there a second to that yeah I heard with the second is there any discussion or questions about the motion on the floor okay so let's go ahead and take a vote on it trustee Chavez hi trustee Quintero all right and myself I motion passes unanimously thank you everyone so um let's move to item 8.02 update on California school Finance authorities pool trans program I'm gonna go to the office real quick okay okay thank you uh is there a presentation on this one Dr Bauer no okay then is going to give you sort of like information only covera just I also this is kind of let them know what it is so that the public also knows yes yes so the information is on the on the board cover but I'll Briefly summarize it um in response to uh the state deferring um apportionment to school districts they are offering a um a core trans um for okay to 12 districts throughout the state of California um and this is the Tibet to get leverage in terms of when we go and issue the trans um to deal with the state deferrals um and this is just some information in terms of when the pros are happening um and the earliest that the pro will be implemented this year uh it actually starts in February and there's going to be um for over five month period starting February including March April and May and June so that's why it's necessary for the districts to um to already start looking at different options to uh deal with this the the delay that the state is is imposing um on the district itself and so so we have submitted an application to participate in this poll trans program there's no cost at this time the board will need to take a vote and approve a resolution at a later date um hopefully by October um but that's kind of a moving Target right now in my conversation with some folks at the at the state level but we'll bring back a resolution for the board to consider at a different day but this is mainly just for information in terms of providing an update um on on the the cash situation with the with the district and this and the and the this the state and the solution that are being out there I'll be happy to take any questions just so that everybody knows more or less because you're talking about five months starting in February for the state not to send us their monthly payment to us can you just tell uh I know that uh trustee Marquez had that question during her one-on-one about how much per month yes the moving Target but that way everybody knows about every month this is how much we get yeah so typically um the state sends us apportionment on a monthly basis um but you know with this the state being short with cash um The Proposal itself typically on a regular month we will get between eight to nine million dollars um in lcf dollars um the state is not um deferring 100 for each month um except for June so um 100 of the June apportionment will be delayed um but in terms of February through May um the typical month let's say we receive uh eight million dollars in enforcement we would we would only be getting about half of that from February through May so um it is it can get a little significant over a four months or five month period um so we talk we're looking at about maybe 15 to 20 million dollars um in apportionment delayed by the state um by the time they it gets it gets to us um in the next fiscal year that monthly number I didn't hear it It beeped out on here for me so typically this yeah are typically the districts will receive about eight million dollars um in apportionment on a monthly basis okay um but the the full schedule that the state is proposing right now they're not they're not uh deferring 100 for each month they're deferring about half um of the questions that the district is supposed to receive so if you do the math and you know for four months uh at four million dollars loss or delayed in apportionments about 12 and then in June itself it's the whole month um so it's about you know 8 to 12 to um about 12 to 20 million dollars all right thank you thank you Mr Gill is there any public comment on this item okay thank you so we'll move forward to item 8.0303 um update on request for proposal for program management services so my understanding is that this is information only and my understanding is that we need um staff needs some direction on how to move forward with this did you want to present something first Dr Bauer if you have it on the board cover um the potential scenarios for the board to choose or whatever else the board chooses to do in the past it's in the the most recent process the board this board went through the selection of the law firm so that's what it's kind of it will be mimicking that um for the board to consider the applic you know the applications and interview the finalists the one everybody who fulfills all the requirements that's one way or the war chooses to tell the staff you guys can select a committee and you you know you the comedic brings the recommendation to the board or any other way that you choose to do we just need direction from the board to select this um services and just a little bit so the public knows I think it is in the board book but just for clarity it's a six a total of six potential um I think I heard you yeah I would suggest that we follow the model that we had for the law firm and it worked out well it wasn't overwhelming and uh you know it was a very very open and uh process so rather than stay here and try to figure out a whole other process I would suggest we follow that same model can I ask a question uh so for the ones that we have have they been determined already to meet all the criteria or they have not gone through that yet yeah I'm sorry yes we have that at all the um all the proposals and all six proposal meets all the requirements that were set forth in the RFP Okay so um I mean I do like trustee Quintero suggestion I think that process does work my my proposal or at least question to throw out there is I'm wondering if maybe staff can um go through a selection process to bring us the top three candidates so so um because I don't remember do does anybody remember how many candidates we had for the law firm and I'm just trying to think of how exhausted that process would be so we had three so excuse me sorry I think we had more than three yeah it was a it was more than three it was closer to six but I think in all fairness we should probably take all six okay so if we had so if we did have I think I do remember it was more than yeah it was more than three yeah um and that was doable within one evening so if that was is the case then that would make sense to to take all of the interest I think if I remember correctly and uh class remember is I think they did the entire sorry I'm hearing that go um candidates and then they rated them they gave us like a sheet with how they rated them and then based on that we invited the top whatever x amount um of candidates well I think I remember something like that I I think what they did was they they pulled out the ones that didn't meet like for instance they didn't answer a particular question those that met all of those requirements those came to us yeah I believe similar yeah approach so in this case it sounds like all six have met those require requirements so I've heard several people now say that we should just take all six and use the same process we used that we'll have to brush up on and dust off the dust and make sure we have it down but the process that we use for the selection of the law firm is that sound like we're um on the same page with that so same process as the law firm selection and bring all six candidates okay um so do we have should we take I think maybe we should take a vote even though it's information only just to make sure that all or Mr Ruiz would you suggest that we take a vote or do we have consensus enough to go forward we have Direction okay I know sometimes I I would you know we do take a vote just to formalize it a little bit but it sounds like we're good to go so staff you have the direction okay so that's it for that one thank you everyone um we'll move forward to item eight point zero four approved citizens Bond oversight committee appointment well to approve the motion to approve there's a second um is there a public comment on this item Mr Gill is there is one okay might have better can we get the Brenda's in the house Mr President yes we did not ask the public for their comments on this last that's when we were just finished doing okay um thank you for that reminder so so for the public um at this time it's open to public comment on um this item or the previous item is that is that a permissible to do Mr Ruiz yes okay okay so that being said um Miss Zendejas can you when you're two minutes starts when you start talking but can you let us know which item you are speaking to this is item 8.4 or um I was just gonna say that I think that um it would be nice to have an oversight committee um with community members too um also good for you guys more insight on um the process I think that um it would be more transparent process with no conflict of interest of anything if you have a community um to give you guys input thank you so was this speaking to the selection of the project manager um I don't know the one we were just okay on the other one okay so thank you okay um any other questions or com I mean any other uh public comment for this item or the previous item and okay thank you I just I do have a question I don't know who I would address it to if it could be answered but just on the application um under the qualification section number one I just I think it says also I was a CEO of a company so is that is that what that says I don't know if anyone can clarify that or even missing Golani um it's kind of make it out either I believe it says I was a CEO of a company but I just wanted to if we can't get the confirmation I'm going to go ahead and assume that's what that says but I just wanted to get clarification but maybe we can't so that's okay okay um so any other questions or comments on this item okay so we let me just clarify for everybody if for whatever reason this gentleman does not fit the business the board can always change we have with all of the applications that have come before the war we bring them in good faith you know we all the the applicants have been thankfully supported by the board this is a committee that is very difficult to find members for and if there is any concerns in the future you have a very strong committee right now that will be betting you know the participation and if for whatever reason this does not match then they can always bring that to the board I just wanted to make sure reassure everybody that there are checks and balances and if they don't happen to fit a particular one of the categories they can still be a part of the committee just in a different uh example or whatever yeah yeah trustee Chavez did I see your hand actually Dr Bauer just said and answered my next comment so okay thank you I appreciate that okay so thank you everyone it looks like we can go ahead and take the vote on this one so trustee Chavez right back to you for the vote go go to the next one this time for a second just I gotta weigh something first okay uh trustee Marquez hi trustee Quintero hi myself I trustee Chavez I think I'm gonna abstain okay so um motion passes for in favor one abstention from trustee Chavez oh before we leave it can I ask one question yes so the The Works in Morgan Hill is that I'm I'm to understand correct that's where he put place of employment all right yes yes okay I couldn't read it it's hard to read okay thank you um item 9.01 information only resignations is there any public comment on item 9.01 there is one floor de Leoni okay Miss de Leon uh when or once we get the clock up when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin yeah so I just I just wanted you didn't never ask for public comment on the previous um uh on the other side committee and uh I just want to say I'm sorry stop the clock please which which item are you speaking to the previous one the 804 the one that you just finished you didn't give the people the um I had my hand raised and you never get the public comment option okay sorry about that that's uh that's two that I forgot okay remember when when Brenda spoke that was one that was public comment for this one and for the previous ones oh yeah yeah I actually did I combined it with 804 and 803 but you can go ahead and reset the clock please we'll take the comment for 804.
yeah so I just wanted to say that you know as long as uh we don't have anyone from the Altera everyone is welcome and as as long as they have a good fate of really uh not taking advantage like in the past other people took advantage of this committee and yeah thank you Bowers for um Dr Bowers for clarifying that so that gives us an idea that we can always uh look into if there is something suspicious with this person because it feels like some community members have brought out that to attention thinking that something was linked to the terra's uh area where they are are or were working and I just want to make sure that we don't have any more of those uh type of people thinking of taking advantage of our committees and yeah we're gonna be paying attention to it thank you okay thank you um so we'll move forward now to item 9.01 resignations information only is there any public comment this item Mr Gill none okay thank you um do any questions or comments from the board on 901 okay so that's information only so we can move forward to the consent calendar um is there emotion on the consent calendar I do have one item that I wanted to ask questions on which is 10.04 any other items to pool or any motion on the floor for the consent calendar can we unmute Rogelio and get that comment or clarification is just as a formality you might want to close the public hearings that were opened at the beginning of the meeting now right now okay so just simply and I need to close them individually right yes okay so those were items 2.0 I I hereby close um item 2.01 public hearing item and next I is it just simple as me stating it do I need to take any okay it doesn't look like there's any anybody who wants to speak on these matters anymore anyway yeah okay so I I guess I hereby close public hearing item 2.02 and uh hereby close public hearing item 2.03 okay thank you for that and then let me very brief reminder to everybody that an item 2.02 we're gonna call a special board meeting to approve the plan just to remind everybody we need to call a special board meeting for that before September 30th okay thank you for the clarification I was just gonna say on that can I um maybe recommend two dates and then us pick or do we want to text tomorrow and finalize that tomorrow uh can we do it offline sounds good I would prefer okay okay thank you I think as soon as possible right because we all have a schedule so if we could all know that we get to respond back tomorrow to come from those States okay thank you um so any other items besides 10.04 that need to be pulled from the consent calendar trustee Chavez 1005. 1005 okay um any others I'd like to pull 1010 okay um so any others don't see anything else so with the exceptions of 1004 1005 and 10 10 is there a motion to approve the consent calendar motion can you hear me yes okay by trustee Chavez all second the motion um so the motion is on the floor to approve with the exception of 1004 1005 and 10 10.
I'll call for the vote trustee Chavez hi um was that was I yes I okay trustee Marquez hi trustee Quintero hi and myself I motion passes unanimously um so for item 10.04 um approved the Santa Clara County Treasury Investment Portfolio status I just wanted to see if covera uh Mr Chang could provide us uh or if he's there still um hopefully there is just a very high a very high level synopsis or summary of what that particular item is not only what it is but um you know is it how does it look for the district is it good is it bad is it trending any particular way so like a a general synopsis of what it is and what the implications this year for the district are so just just a high level um consciousness of how this program works um and surprise that law the county uh controller treasury's office um oversees all the cash of the school districts I believe all other local government um in this County as well um and what they do is that they they take all that cash and they put it in a poll which is called the Flamingo pool and out of that cash the County Treasury um has a team of investors um that invest in different um companies and whatnot well like a better word and based on any um any any proceeds that it yield or interest that is earned um it's giving back to the school districts or any agencies um based on kind of percentage of the cash that they have with the county um controller Treasures Office so um conceptually that's how the program works um to be straightforward I'm not Savvy enough with how they do their investment to be able to explain to you uh the trend or um how um I don't have the expertise in that um but that's that's the program that they have at the county controller Treasure's office um we do generate a lot of interest um Revenue uh from the cash that are being hold at the county controller um I've never seen an experience where we had any negative interest dollars that are being taken back from the school district um it's always in the positive uh whatever this particular pot of money get figured into our overall budget so for so let's say let's say at this point in time we have uh 10 million dollars sitting with the controller's office um and then you know there's other two districts in this County that has cash um that are that the controller is overseeing as well necessarily let's say a hundred thousand hundred million dollars um just for school districts Alone um that coach is used by a team at the county controller treasury's office um to do certain Investments That Could yield back um uh Revenue um is it like on a yearly basis based on those Investments do we see assuming growth do we see that money back in our budget or so we we yeah so every I believe every month they do a calculation in terms of how much interest and how much a yield is is earned um and based on a formula that they they put together at the county um or or proceeds yield uh back to the respective school districts based on the percentage of cash that they have in that Commando poll okay and then there's a go to individual fund or um a lot of the money goes to the general fund but remember we have different funds of the district so for example uh we have cash sitting in our bond fund um that based on that balance the percentage of that cash that the county is holding um our bonds program would be receiving interest Revenue as well um and so it gets Theory back not only to at a district level at a more granular level at the district so then they get allocated you know to the general fund to the um to the bonds funds to a capital facilities fund um based on a cash balance that you know that the county is holding for us okay thank you for that thank you for that clarification and for your acknowledgment that you're not your expertise is not uh the investment of the funds um can I get asked a question yes so um covera so this is um the co-mingling of these funds to invest is that correct yes okay what's our portion or what what are we in for how much what none well that varies by month right because yeah um in certain months our cash ballots could be at 10 million dollars and in some months it could be at 20 million dollars and it varies you know from month to month by district from District to District so uh it's hard to say how much our portion is um but on a monthly basis um based on how much the county uh is holding for us in cash um and whatever the interest Revenue um or investment yields um you know we get a portion of that money back to to the district okay okay because we don't understand I mean there's several of them several don't understand is there any way that we can get um someone from the county of Santa Clara to have been here so that we could ask these questions I mean it kind of put up a flag up on me for being you know your honesty on you know I'm not you know I'm not too Savvy enough um I don't have the expertise I'm like oops uh and I'm and I'm trying to grasp the understanding of this uh so I mean don't you think that we should have at least had someone here from Santa Clara from the county of Santa Clara to um ease our minds I guess at least mine yeah I mean we we can definitely make a request um although this channel the county and how available they are to be um presenting at you know at the district level so yeah I think what he said trust me Marcus is they can make the request and then obviously will depend on their availability to to come and be able to respond I didn't hear because I had you sneezed bless you I came on thank you so I'll make a motion to approve item 10.04 if there's no do we did I call for public comment no probably not is there a public comment on this item Mr Gill none okay thank you um any other questions or comments from the board huh number second oh I put the motion forward right yep sorry it's okay is there a second to the motion okay trustee Chavez vehemently seconds the motion so um we will call for the vote on this item trustee Chavez hi trustee Marquez abstain Quintero I and myself I motion passes four to one with one abstention trustee Marquez okay I don't know really quick before you move on I was going to jump in and make some comments about this item okay um but uh the vote had already taken off um I just the fact that people aren't aware as to what it is shouldn't be misconstrued by the public because it's uh as if there's some sort of uh something wrong or this is a service that's provided to the 32 school districts throughout the county um we wind up getting a very very good service for a very um low cost in terms of uh no overhead because of the fact that the county is processing it is part of the work that they already do the government requires them to do think about why the city has gone towards a route of tacking on uh for example the the garbage bill because it's cheap it's uh it doesn't cost any anything to do that and so I just want to make sure that people are aware out there the questions that have been raised shouldn't be misconstrued as to there's something wrong or something like that I just want to make sure to mention that okay thank you um so item 10.05 I believe trustee Chavez you wanted to pull that item yes um I guess it's because a lot of new hires and one of the questions that came to me was are any of these uh hires an I.T expert or do they have uh knowledge and Proficiency in I.T because I was asking Dr Bauer on August 4th if we could hire extra I.T help because I we've been hearing month after month that you know the connectivity issues and some of the parents not being able to log on and maybe you know the website uh problems that some people were having so is there any you know of those people that are being hired are any of them an I.T expert we have a lot of I.T experts trustee Chavez we share I share this with you yesterday during our one-on-one and I'm very grateful for the staff that we have currently you perfect marked um the people that have been hired are not for I.T we are looking into some support but we have to look into the budget so as of right now that is not uh for today you are not approving any I.T there might be somebody you know some positions uh a position coming up but we're still not sure we really have to monitor our budget thank you uh I'd like to put a motion on the floor to approve this item just for purposes of discussion on it um is that a second okay I have a question okay uh before you ask your question I um I wanted to give a comment real quick or yeah a comment um which is that um I I you know obviously we have heard some comments from some parents about challenges as we've rolled this new all this new stuff out but we also heard that we had last Thursday I think 8300 of our students logged on so that tells me that even if there may have been issues we may be on the path already to to get there and I also acknowledging that we have heard anecdotal comments from parents I think sometimes um we also need to figure into that uh I mean I guess the term is user error sometimes the technology exists but the it's just the person may not yet have the ability to to do it on their end so it's not necessarily that it's an IP issue it's maybe more of a training or support issue that doesn't necessarily need to be an I.T person so I think we just need to be careful um you know thinking of these uh Personnel decisions when we hear things that are coming in as comments before looking at the bigger picture um but it is an issue that we should continue to monitor trustee Chavez uh your comment yes I think because of the thick Matt did bring it up it is a bigger issue sometimes when you do all these hires then it doesn't free up money to get somebody to maybe improve it I mean you can always be improving what we have and that's it thank you okay so there's a motion and a second on the floor is there any public comment on this item there's one Veronica okay once you there you go once you begin speaking Veronica your two minutes will begin great thank you and has some great thank you um and as much as I also want to move forward on and get everything done um I do want to stop and acknowledge your comment um president um even though around almost 90 percent or even higher of the students logged in it does not mean that there's other challenges going around and that user quote-unquote issue yeah um it feels like you're categorizing it as like putting the blame on the person and I do not appreciate that I know many of our families are struggling with the language and now with technology so I asked for some compassion on that and if we need more I.T persons to go hand in hand and teach people how to do it then that's what we need and that's what we need to get our families um again I do not appreciate your comment um it just didn't feel like you were empathizing and showing compassion towards our family and I want to make sure that it is something that we are showing and that it is at the Forefront of what we're doing every day thank you thank you any other comments Mr Gill and one granddadas in the house okay Mason the house when you begin speaking your two minutes will begin I'm gonna ditto what um Veronica said I think that we need to be careful when we speak on General with all the community because there are a lot of parents still struggling with the language barrier and I just want to remind you guys that we only have two translators for the whole District we have 78 percent a Latinos in this district and we only have two um Spanish-speaking translators I'm sorry in one Vietnamese that's three and um we need to hire more translators to get to a lot of these parents that do have a language barrier um so I just want to suggest that we look into that to better support our community thank you thank you any other public comments Mr Gill um okay so we'll go ahead and call for the vote on 10.05 trustee Chavez can I say one more thing before we call for the vote Yes yeah okay you see how you see all this weird stuff going on top like there's a cloud above that's your that's your background no clearly that's not my back it is if you if you go on your they're like like a hollow effect there's a lot of people with a lot of connectivity issues and I think yeah you know for you to say oh it's user error it ain't user air come on you can see for yourself there's no way I could be doing that but anyway in this instance it is very clearly user error as far as I can tell that's a zoom background and it's uh president right now so let's go yes okay that's my vote I mean I think I think your your situation that I see on my screen is a perfect example of what I'm talking about where it is user error in fact that it's causing this and not I mean I could be wrong I I stand to be corrected but that looks like a zoom background that can be corrected with a couple clicks of a button so um but I do think that I do take the point and you can be wrong and you are wrong that's it thanks uh I mean I won't say anymore but I just I will address I will address address just um you know the point that this is not my comments are not about blame my comments are about making policy decisions and financial decisions based on um you know without without minimizing the concerns or or the challenges that some people have at the same time as a as a policy maker we need to base our decisions based on a number of factors and a number of realities that may exist and so I mean if that is felt as non-empathetic you know I appreciate that sentiment that's not the intent behind my statement trustee since we're all commenting uh during our uh vote I just want to call all of our constituents I know um we had vendum internet we only have two um I just want to highlight there's some big organizations like the county who doesn't have any um translators zero for the entire County and I can say this because they called me you know as an as an employee at one of their meetings to come help translate which I'm happy to do um but just want to highlight that big agencies like Santa Clara County have zero for their meetings County Board of Supervisors and we have two not enough but we have at least two so with that uh yes I okay um trustee Marquez hi trustee Quintero hi and myself I and so most passes five to zero I think I might be having some connection excuse also because it looks like my zoom background mysteriously popped up when I pushed the button but no I think it's the user it could it could be let me see I know from here if you're having issues man oh looks like connectivity fixed I got better connectivity okay no we just haven't I'm just having fun we I mean we all have challenges and a number of different ways and I'm one of the people that has plenty of challenges of my own so 10 10 um we'll move forward trustee yeah I just wanted to um highlight this one no accident you know resolution to um character Education Month in October um and I just it got me excited when I read it because um you know I I thought to myself if I knew about this stuff when I was in elementary school where would I be you know and so it really gets me excited that our children are learning about this um and I just encourage us as a as a district that you know we

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] so [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ah [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] 35-28 game in overtime so the dogs are in the contest two in one and uh i don't know who the favorite is tonight coach but it should be a good one well i think uh from where we're sitting we we like north um and that and that's uh i actually have a i think a theory is starting to shape up here about north season you know we saw them in a big win their first week of the season against uh gibson southern and and then we watched them again against east and uh columbus columbus east and in columbus this is a great football team and and i thought that um north looked a bit flat right um last week's game the fact that they pulled that game out in southport i think has now got them ready for the season i think they are ready to play football they know how to come back from a game they almost came back in this game they definitely came back last week had an overtime win and i think they now are primed to win this football game and win a bunch of football games after this game so i'm looking forward to it luke hammonds enters the game as the leading passer of the the dogs of course averaging 145 yards in the air per game and blake huffman is the leading rusher through three games 75 carries 513 yards averaging 171 yards per game coach yeah he's uh really pounding things out in the ground a matter of fact he's averaging 6.8 yards per carry yeah those kids and both of these kids are are fantastic football players and i think you know you look at the roncalli team they're bringing a pretty good running back in with the the hubler kid uh who who rushed for 110 yards uh last week in their in their loss um you know they they they clearly he's gonna have to do more than that hit 27 carries for 110 yards if he even wants to keep up with huffman i think he's gonna he might have to carry it 40 times i don't know how he keeps up with huffman i think i think huffman is going to be outstanding i think hammond's kid is going to be outstanding and it goes without saying he's the hammons kid's doing great at quarterback and he's throwing the ball really well he's also rushing it really well he had 100 over 100 yards rushing again last week so between the two of them carrying the football if they can pass it and carry it for 200 yards you know collectively i think they're gonna you know north is gonna have a great night we'll introduce the roncalli rebels here in a few minutes and talk about their stat lines and their first two games of the contest let's take a minute now and pause and listen to the sound of north um hmm yes coming out [Music] ladies and gentlemen on september 11 2001 our country experienced one of our great national tragedies when innocent lives were lost through senseless acts of terrorism 19 years later we still feel the great loss and effects that fateful day had on our country as we did in 2001 we continue to stand united as one nation that continues to support and defend the freedoms and liberties we enjoy as americans tonight the sound of north under the direction of mr brian munoz who have performed america the beautiful as an honor to those who lost their lives on september 11th and in dedication to the brave men and women who serve to continue to protect us on the home front and abroad [Music] yes [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Applause] and now ladies and gentlemen the sound of norah plays our national anthem [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Applause] i know okay we're back at max anders field about six minutes until kickoff another sound performance so to speak from the sound to north led by brian munoz coach there's no no competitions this year for marching band uh but they they look great they have not missed a beat so to speak yeah they did a nice job it's uh yeah it's a it's one of these days where you wake up in the morning and you try to figure out how you're gonna remember uh you know what's a good way to remember what happened 19 years ago and that and i think i think the band just did a really a really nice job helping people reflect and it was really beautiful it is september 11th patriot day the flag at half staff in the northeast part of the uh part of the stadium here it's a beautiful night for football 68 degrees a light breeze although the flags are not moving at all so we'll see if that changes at all and turns into a factor with the kicking game but here we are at max anders field joined by john havana we've got the columbus north bulldogs who are getting ready to take on the roncalli rebels out of indianapolis the dogs two and one roncalli 1-1 after a defeat last week against 3a number one chatard this this should be a good one we talked a little bit earlier about some statistic lines for the dogs the uh the rebels they have a they have a quarterback number 15 aiden leffler is a junior he's been he's had he's played at least two years under center for for the rebels roncalli will not throw the ball a tremendous amount he's averaging 133 yards per game but they have a senior who's got 59 carries and averaging six and a half yards per carry for a total of 376 over two games yeah baron hubler had a nice game last week said earlier he had 110 yards rushing last week in their in their loss and you know just it sounds like a kid they run they ride quite a bit in 27 carries last week which is quite a few a few carries um so i think we'll have a good we'll have a good battle tonight at the running back position for sure um and and i like you know i like that i've said it in every game up to this point uh the hammond's kid is always i feel like he's tonight he's the first time maybe he's not the underdog and hopefully he comes out and plays like he's been playing tim bless leading the dogs entering the field now tim in his 21st year here at columbus north which is hard to believe he started here in the year 2000 let me pause real quick and appreciate roncalli come out i feel with an american flag it's nice nice on such a day as today tim bless in his 21st year here at north high school 23rd year overall and he is seeking his 150th career win here this evening just a sidebar i would like to reflect on the fact that roncalli guys just broke through real paper you know they've moved away from you know this velcro uh you know whatever they call that when you run through it you know it they went through real papers man these guys are tough hand painted hand-painted real paper i saw i heard that i heard the tear up here that's a yeah great observation coach good good start kids gotta be tough you gotta start hard you know go through paper to get the game going [Applause] on the other side of the ball john rodenberg leads the roncalli rebels he is just in his first year at roncalli he was at uh lawrence central i believe for a couple years before that but he has uh he actually has a tremendous amount of experience in the cincinnati area he's uh he was a cincinnati moeller for i don't know eight or ten years won a couple state championships there he is uh [Applause] in his 27th year 175 career victories already so just his just a second you're here at roncalli but certainly uh seems to know what he's doing on the other side of the ball well we'll see coach we talked earlier about uh last week being a mental toughness game and for the dogs to come back after after spotting a couple of early early scores on the road and uh really putting together a sound second half and having to fight through an overtime win to pull out a win so those those help those wins help teams grow for sure yeah i i tell you it's a there's been a couple of things for this bulldogs team that has been um they've been they've been behind a couple games now you know the east you know the east game they were behind the entire game they almost fought their way through that one and came back and won it and unfortunately they they for the bulldogs they didn't do that the fact that they got through the overtime last week i think it built a tremendous amount of confidence to be in the east game after they were down i think 21 to nothing they came back they lose that game by four points coming back at the game last week and then winning in overtime makes you a strong team it's not fun to win that way uh it will make them a stronger team down the stretch i think this team's gonna play really well tonight i'd be surprised if if they didn't win this game by a couple touchdowns we'll see how it shakes down no common opponents between the the two teams thus far but roncalli does play bloomington north and bloomington south here in about four weeks so we'll see how the season shapes up between between both teams clocks at zeros and we are ready for a coin toss and a kickoff here at max anders field playing your song again coach we're one minute in and we're already talking about metallica and i appreciate you making the connection not being my song i'm not sure where that had come from but i'm okay to it's it's not chicago nobody nobody's chicago we we've established that last week hopefully uh you have a chance to listen to our interview last week you can't come into the field listening to chicago coach i could but 18 year old kids could not that's it's a strong point well one of the factors of this game i think you know i wrote it down here and and i it's it's understated i think columbus north has a great i've said it in previous games they got a great kicking game i actually think field position matters we saw in the previous games you know where you started the field i think this team um the roncalli team struggled last week with field position they actually started i think in their own end of the field down at the 25 28 yard line most of the game last week um if that can happen tonight i think it's an advantage for columbus north and i think we got the kickers to get it down there and make it tough for them so let's see how it goes here i'm just going to receive the ball to start the game blythe and scruggs are back deep i believe caster had been back there in the past so a little bit of change there and roncalli will kick off and they will kick away from the scoreboard from the north to the south and that is uh number nine luke russell 215 junior from roncalli who teased the ball up that's a healthy healthy young man right there know where he's going i bet you're a big boy he looks like he might play a different position than just kicker as well that's a strong kid yeah it's like a linebacker and we're underway received by blyth on the eight yard line he's gonna bring it up to the left hash and he is clobbered clobbered at the 20-yard line good to see the sophomore out there though tyler couple catches last week you know i think i think hammond stewart did six guys last week coach and and all of them had at least two receptions which is pretty amazing doing a good job of spreading the ball around for sure yeah definitely tight end left here for the dogs slot receiver to the right hammond's in the gun and that's a quick penalty against the rebels yeah he looks excited he jumped outside there number 11.
hard count by hammons gets him a free five yard pass gonna be second excuse me he'll be first in five on the 25 yard line same formation here tied into the left hammons of the gun huffman offset to the left that's going to be a quarterback keep to the left-hand side and ham is going to go for a good yardage across the 37-yard line for a first down really good blocking up front coach i mean uh probably a four foot five foot wide gap there and uh hammers does a nice job of picking the lane and going with it really good run north comes the line no huddle tied into the right this time trips with the right to the right to the field side heyman's out of the gun and tommy's going to give to huffman yeah that's i mean huffman did a nice job there he ends up getting about almost about three um but he got hit in the backfield pretty quick so the fact that he works it out to about two and a half yards there is uh was a nice little gain from where he got hit initially i apologize coach that's dylan redmond carrying the ball there 21 dylan redman he's a 5 8 175 junior for the dogs still in the game trips to the right this time hammond's going to sprint to his right looking downfield he's got a connection and a first down nice pass casted or the recipient matt casteller did a nice job there just sitting down there's a little little hole in the defense looked like they were in his own and and cassiter did a nice job sitting down between the backer and the in the corner and uh gets about 10 yards [Music] 2 by 2 formation now ball in the 50 yard line ball in the right hash first and 10 for the dogs redmond's gonna sprint out to left and they're gonna run yeah that bubble out for a gain of about three quick pass there is sean patel with the reception for a gain of about three give him four second and six bowling the 46 for the dogs 10 minutes 23 seconds remain in the first quarter ham is looking back to pass he's got a cast across the middle across 35 across the 30 down to the 25 really really great play cass center comes across the middle there he's wide open nothing but grass in front of him for 20 yards coach another big reception for the dogs first down really good start to the game for the bulldog ball rest on the 27 yard line [Music] same personnel in the game he gave us to redmond this time he's across the middle up that left hash for a gain of call of two three yeah skinny two second and eight ball in the 25 nine minutes 20 seconds to go in the first quarter ham is in the gun redmond offset to his right trips to the right trips to the field hammond's going to keep it this time looking for yardage up the middle is stopped quick whistle hey quick whistle i think they picked him up off the ground about five guys hold him he looked like he was about six five and since he's not six five he off the ground about a foot and a half there i think the defensive line picked him up chose not to drop him somewhat just disappeared in there with white jerseys not sure exactly who you credit with the tackle nonetheless it's third and sixth the ball's on the 23 yard line roncalli's got a big defensive line coach 2x2 formation looking for a hard count there and roncalli did not go for it same formation hayman's back to pass looking still looking he's going to give it to redmond on a dump route i don't think he got it now gain of about four or five across the 20-yard line he is going to be short let's see what decision the sideline makes here i think you're moving the ball don't you think you got to go same personality gotta go it's interesting it's more fun this way and call it fourth and one the ball rests on the 18-yard line [Applause] tight ends to the left twins to the right hammond's going to keep it again looking for your yardage that's going to be a first down yeah i think you got it by half yard coach and no signal yet from the officials they're eyeballing it and they move the chains first down for the dogs don't really don't really conduct measurements anymore do we no i liked what he did you know the official did what i do sometimes at home you know he got done when he looked at it when you're getting ready to cut a board right decided it was straight yeah that's right good enough for me redmond in motion this time and ham is going to carry it again he's right up that left hash again maybe a gain of two slow and steady here coach redmond looks like a tough runner i mean he's a kind of a little bubble pass there and hard running some hard yardage there two yards three yards at a time second nate ball on the 15 yard line seven minutes 30 seconds to go hammond's back to pass he'll keep it and he gets swallowed up that time that's brady new he's a 6'4 240 sophomore for the rebels yeah they had a you know they had it either i think you know if he had waited just another half a second i think he had a little bubble screen coming that would have worked out but i think he pulled it down a little too quickly there third and ten ball in the middle field ball rests on the 17-yard line 650 to go in the first quarter tied into the right twins to the left heyman in the gun and give it to redmond this time he's going to try to run inside zone to the right and gets a safety flying in it's a couple yards gonna pull it down it looked like a really good job i think it was number seven that came up and made the play there really good hit so carter ward on the field for the bulldogs yeah we like carter we've seen plenty of time seen plenty of him this year so far balls on the 15-yard line kick is up and it is good maybe a 31-yard field goal dogs lead 3-0 606 remain in the first quarter [Applause] yeah that one that was a nice kick by carter i think that was good from another 20 yards another 20 yards back [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] uh carter ward tees the ball up from the dogs 40-yard line 606 remain in the first quarter dogs lead three to enough and nothing after that field goal kicks away and it is received at the one he's cutting back outside and he has run out of bounds at the 37 that's a good really good return outstanding return by the 37 yards nice return 510 175 senior for roncalli it's you know that i don't think a lot of people realize it that's a huge difference the difference between that and starting on the 25 when you can see the 50 versus when you can't see the 50 is a completely different mindset when you're playing football you did a good job of cutting that cutting that back and the dogs um those bulldogs made that tackle they were coming from the back side on pursuit angle so that was a nice play to save a touchdown there they give us to the back for roncalli he scampers ahead for about three yards as we talked about before that is baron hubler he's the five nine 185 senior who carries a significant load for the for the rebels yeah like i said 27 carries uh last week 110 yards that's a bunch of carries trips to the field lefler's going to carry this one he's going to keep it across the 45 for about a game of six it'll bring up third and about three a left floor it looks like a pretty stocky kid too it looks like he's a pretty uh well-built kid pretty athletic kid you know he's gonna run it looks like they're both gonna run the ball a bunch last week six three two fifteen is lefleur yeah trying to get a heart count there dogs all fall for us he's your size two inches and 20 pounds coach as we as we know third and two we gave it to the back again he's gonna scamper outside and across the 50 but it will be a roncalli first down i think you know we've talked about jamal king in in all the other games but we really like jamal the way jamal comes downhill when he plays football i think this is a game where he can have a big impact as a jet sweep for the rebels too number five kyle locker he's a 511 141 junior the the the roncalli fans thought that was the first color and it looked like the tackle was made just behind the shoulder pad so no flag second and four gave us the hubler up the middle he's rumbling ahead he's getting to that second level coach that's the first down all the way down to the 35-yard line yeah hubler's you know he's it's basically a straight downhill and um he's done it he's done a number of times obviously and he's not scared to keep just bowling in there he's gonna get five seven yards if they don't uh fix something on the front same formation save gives this the hubler is going to bounce it back outside that's a big stick by jamal king coming up from safety for the dogs yeah jamal can hit and uh he gets going uh as long as he also keeps his head on and doesn't get uh if they don't throw it over top of him i think he'll have a great game he's gonna gonna have to keep his eyes open mr mr king mr king i'll tell you he he got he earned that name he hits heart second and six roncalle's going to flip their alignment here nonetheless the same formation motion again we're going to fake the jet sweep and this is going to go to hubler's and bounce it to the outside all the way down to the 20-yard line for another first down you know what's interesting about uh hubor kit here is is he he's a tough downhill runner but he's good side to side as well i mean he showed he can bounce it really quick uh so they're gonna have to make you know they're gonna have to get a bigger push up front they're gonna have to make tackles in the backfield because he will bounce it outside it looks like same formation same give another five yards across the to the 15 yard line of the dogs ball on the left hash that'll bring up the second five it appears to be a matter of we're gonna do the same thing and not hide it coach and you just prove that you can stop it right now oh right now i mean you keep you do the same thing right you'd call the same play you were getting five yards of pop that's what you do gave us to heaven out of the pistol formation this time he's going to be stopped after about a two yard game bring up third and two from the 12 yard line two minutes 15 seconds remain here in the first quarter savion got a call out coach savion out there he's in on that one if i were save you and i'd stay real close down there to that 15 yard line and cut down the amount of turf you got to cover here as you're going in out of the game give this to oh that's a fake this time is going to keep it and he's still scrambling brought down to the airline they had him they had him maybe at the line of scrimmage and they and he just bounced it to the right bouncing back into the middle of the field and a couple of his tackles there unfortunately turns into a five yard gain same formation he learned the pistol he's going to receive the handoff this time and barrel ahead and stop short this time down at the one yard line now they're gonna go quick here coach they're getting right back to it second one no huddle they are quickly up to the line of scrimmage and you expect yep expecting to keep it and a couple of helps from behind and that's a touchdown there used to be a rule coach you couldn't uh you couldn't push somebody from the from the back side into the end zone but that rule was removed a couple of years ago the roncalli first touchdown on the board 6-3 is how the score stands at the moment extra point pending and kick is up and the kick is good and that makes it 7-3 rebels 123 remain in the first quarter 123 remains in the first quarter roncalli leads 7-3 looking for a new home well you might need a loan you know applying

but blithe will return again from the 12.
he's going to come up to me he's got room to go one to beat he's got room to go across the 45 across the podium shoestring tackle down at the 35 of roncalli it's a fantastic return for the bulldogs and exactly what they needed that was that was a great return you know about about 60 yards total it's down to 35. he uh he did a really nice job there again you know tyler's just a sophomore getting some great time out there it's good to see him out there good return he took that ball right up the hash no dancing or juking or no madden left right buttons straight ahead straight football trust your blockers looks back-to-back he's looking downtown and that ball is caught caught that's hayden mcdaniel on his first touchdown reception of the season 35-yard strike you know it's always it's always surprising like how has it could get that open but you know we've seen it in a couple weeks in a row it seems like the north guys their whiteouts get they get major separation uh at their wide outs i mean three or four guys we've seen just go straight down the middle of the field that one really more down the hash but lots of separation he had 10 yards between him and the db i'm not sure if that corner was i'm not sure if that corner was in undercover expecting some safety help but that was uh i guarantee you that's going to be a tough film conversation tomorrow on that if you grew up in

school sports hold on dad i love him i'm going up we're back at max andersfield the uh a man to my left is getting ready to introduce a couple of trivia questions here he says so we'll makes me a little bit nervous but we'll see 107 is on the clock here in the first quarter the bulldogs lead 10-7 after that 37-yard strike from hammonds to mcdaniel for a score yeah you guys get ready for the trivia question here we're gonna do it right at the beginning of the second quarter and for those of you know that you might have dr bozeman's cell phone number i want you to text your answer in well you might you might as well put it on the chat so everybody has it just in case they have any any feedback carter's kick is five yards deep in the end zone for a touchback this is great this is this is great so the the last the last three plays columbus it's all it's a field position thing right it eases up the game you got a 60-yard return you got a 35-yard pass play and then you got to kick into the end zone right and it's just it's under valued but the fact that roncalli is coming out starting on the 20 after they just got beat deep psychologically it's hard to play with 80 yards of field in front especially after you just gave up a big play and a big play yeah absolutely we saw that in the gibson southern game that the dogs jumped on them quick and scored twice and never let them move the ball very much and that that game felt at least like it was over in the second quarter and and gibbs and southern changed the way they were playing that's tossed to the wide side the dogs are all over that one [Applause] great defense there for the rebels 511 175 junior and the gun here two by two formation a little bit of a different formation than what we'd seen on the first drive same personnel second and ten thirty seconds remain and lethal is gonna keep it up the middle this time and safety's making tackle coach offensive alignment for the rebels do a good job of getting a hat on a hat so to speak and getting up to that second level and covering up linebackers and then it's just safety's making tackles for six or eight yards he's gonna wait we're gonna run down the clock here at the end of the first end of the first quarter in the dog's lead 10-7 good first quarter quick [Applause] directory [Music] so [Applause] we're back at max anders field ten to seven dogs lead here the start of the second quarter special thanks to rudolph mortgage for their sponsorship ovation technology first financial bank columbus wealth jolie rentals and julie development and overhead door of south central indiana we appreciate their generosity enables us to bring this broadcast to you with our limited number of seats that we're able to offer here at the stadium appreciate those sponsors third and two for the rebels jet motion across and it gives the huble up the middle and he is but he's gonna have a first down got hit hard good first down kerry first and ten balls in the 32 no huddle for the rebels [Music] one back with the wing twins to the field side gave us to hubler again boy it's too bad and he goes another five yards dawson just ran past him right dawson made a good move upfield and just and just ran past him i love dawson i said it before in the first quarter and i'll say it again that it seems like the rebels are just controlling that line of scrimmage they're big up front they're they look like they're fundamentally very sound they are getting to the second level like you were saying just a minute ago it's a good offensive line second and six balls in the middle of the field trips to the field trips to the right this time back to back to pass this time he's looking for a fader that ball is dropped good good coverage cole beckman the intended target there up the sidelines scruggs you know we we talk about skilled players and pretty players and guys that do creative things that scruggs is a great player and he is talented and that was dynamite coverage almost a great catch though uh by number two but great coverage now you could argue it could not have been covered any better and they could not have been thrown any better credit to mr king for having him over top as well back to pass again and looking to the other side of the field downtown that ball there we go overthrown that's gonna bring out fourth down fourth and six i love this you know we talked about it earlier jamal it is a great stick he comes down from the safety position and he makes great plays he hits hard he stops the run game and we said that he had to keep his eyes open because he could potentially get beat deep over the top and we i think we saw that uh you know we saw the scrimmage or we saw it in week one um but he's clearly learned his lesson he's playing the safety position tonight as well as he can i think he's made some great run stops just defended the pass over the middle really well roncalli on to punt in their spread formation kicks away it's a fair catch by scruggs at a 31-yard line i love him dawson dawson's in there he uh he almost blocked that one now he's hustling back over the bench i think he's drinking out of like an old milk jug he's got his water like an old milk jug tonight which is the best way to do it they were like an old igloo you know the igloo that you brought to practice that was so big you couldn't even pick it up oh yeah yeah absolutely it's indestructible yeah dogs with the ball now ball rests on the 32 yard line first down trips to the left with the tight end no huffman tonight redmond is the back hammons gives to redmond he's got an inside zone he's got a good cut across the middle to the 45-yard line good good for 12 yards in the first down right now they're gonna they're gonna go quick with it here we go on the ball same formation no huddle same play this time he does not get as much about a gain of two no coach did we see a flag in the first quarter i did not believe we saw any flags in the first quarter by week week four it's nice to see the guys are playing a little bit cleaner second and eight ten minutes remain in the second quarter gave us redmond again he's got space to go swallowed up pretty quick not before he gets six more yards though yeah it makes a big difference in the game the speed of the game the flow of the game for both teams both teams benefit from you know no flags and it's uh it's good football to watch when there's you play flag free third and a tremendously long one yard i'd say third and four maybe third and three the scoreboard set for folks at home it says third and one so dr bozeman's just being funny scoreboard uh folks are helping a little bit that's his version of color combination it's my it's my attempt to be funny third and three ham's gonna keep it and he's still rumbling ahead he made it he may have gotten that he's the top kid it's gonna be close well let's ask the folks at home and they're gonna call this a fourth down fourth and two inches you want to question my ability to call it two inches you know i i'm looking i went down on one knee i looked down you and i are right in the perfect angle right now and it is dark on the paint it is darn close as i said i guess they don't measure anymore fourth down here we go offense on the field two by two formation ball rests on the 45 yard line eight minutes 45 seconds remain in the second quarter hammond's gonna keep it up the middle and he's got a good spot from this [Music] i don't know we've got two different spots here coach we've got one spot that's not favorable and one that is that's a first down that should be a first down it is a first day [Applause] that's a that's a tough position for an official coach because there was just uh seemed like 35 players in there at the same time roncalli's they were off the field they thought they had to turn that ball over hammond's back to pass he's looking now he's going to scramble looking downfield and he's got wow he's got really good patel connected all the way down to the 22 yard line for a first down oh there is somebody downfield that's a that's a man downfield that play took a long time to develop i might be wrong about that but i'm guessing it's somebody now i think that's exactly what it is oh it's a whole hole yeah just just as good the illegal man downfield turns into a hole either way we're coming back great route by patel i think uh you want to give him credit because he he ran a he ran a deep a deeper out there up the sideline and realized his quarterback was in trouble came back actually caught a nice pass but uh unfortunately he's coming back on a hold but that's exactly you know guys at home young guys at home wide receivers come back to your quarterback help him out find a spot and make a catch if you can you don't just stay downfield you might not be able to throw it 60 yards gave us to redmond here he's looking for running room on the outside he's across the 50.
about a gain of four there whistle it down gonna be third in a whole bunch all right coach so think about this you know we talked about the cowbell last week that's a saturn at last kit right think about it for a minute gave mr redmond off the left-hand side you still looks like they're going to have third third or fourth it should be three yeah third down because we have the penalty third and three ball on the left hash balls on the 38 airline they gave us to redmond again he's got room to go and he's got a first down great run good run first down for the dogs redmond's going to take a breather and hustle off the field here balls on the 32-yard line seven minutes 10 seconds remain in the second quarter twins to the right tied in left for the dogs takes the loft hands back to pass he's looking good coverage downtown his head really good coverage so here's the question coach that's that's a will ferrell's kit with christopher walken it is who is the band that they are trying to impersonate oh that that's blue oyster colt yeah oh that's so good yeah that was good for you way to pay attention that way i i was i was a little nervous because for me to shift my mind thinking while calling a football game i wasn't sure how i would handle that if you slow pitch a trivia question like that then we're gonna be okay second and ten six fifty five remains in the second quarter two by two formation hammond's back to pass and maybe a face mask there no flag [Applause] it's a heck of an athletic play there by by luke hammonds we know we love wide receivers that block coach luke hammond's 59170 only a junior for the dogs that's good football right there first and 10 ball on the 15-yard line 645.
clock has stopped since he ran out of bounds redmond back in the game in motion hammond's going to keep it looking to get back outside big tackle he's running hard coach that's a that's a gain of about six no big stop by sean brought the wood there that was that was a that was a good stiff tackle right there second and four the nine yard line there is room to obtain a first down here still six minutes ten seconds remain on the clock second quarter dogs lead 10 to seven cast letters come over something come something up they're gonna throw it to the corner and cast that or maybe two by two formation hammonds in the gun looking to pass still looking to his left scramble and he's down to the two should be a first down cast center that's great [Music] every single guy i love him oh certainly we got a bulldog down in the end zone i cannot make out the number i can't figure out who that is george as soon as we get a decent facility guy here to upgrade the lights to led then we'll have a better chance of making out those jersey numbers but as of as of this moment i cannot yet make out the jersey the way he was rolling though looked like it might have been a cramp yeah well we've seen we've seen a lot of that this year already cramping dehydration 555 remains on the clock here in the second quarter dogs lead 10 to 7.
once we resume it'll be first down and two on the two [Music] that's uh that's blythe i think it's that twisted ankle maybe yeah it looks like a twisted ankle or a twisted knee i'd take back my comment about the the cramp but he is he is walking for the most part under his own power with with help from the trainer so that's that's a good sign yeah they'll wait for him to get all the outside the field of play here that's too bad a good start to the game here hopefully he's okay all right let's see if the dogs can get it in here north with a lot of momentum here a solid drive feels like uh it feels like the bulldogs have had the ball the entire quarter all right here we go first and two from the two ball in the right hash redman the split back he's gonna get the ball and he is barreling ahead that's a touchdown dogs really good blocking up front really good nice hole there big push up front go slap the helmets of the big guys i mean that's that's outstanding uh line play right there i made the comment earlier about the roncalli offensive line controlling the line of scrimmage but on this drive it was the the team in black controlling that line of scrimmage yeah they look good on that drive extra point is up and is good and just like that the dogs lead 17-7 5 45 remain here in the second quarter [Music] you [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] hey [Music] back here at max anders fields bulldogs leave 17-7 545 remain here in the first half card award back to kick special thanks again to our sponsors through off mortgage ovation technology columbus wealth joe lee rentals and development overhead door in south central indiana great kick carter's doing a nice job i know there's not very much breeze out there but he's definitely kicking that one into the into the wind so that one that's just kind of coming across maybe but it's still a great kick the ability the ability to get it down there after every touchdown really helpful a slight breeze has developed out of the north not enough to matter i would say but savion's in there coach savion back in the game first and ten for the rebels balls on the 20-yard line right in the middle of the field give it to hubler and he's gonna rumble ahead for a gain of four yards you're a big blue oyster cult fan coach it was it was a band i'd listen to i wouldn't say that i you know he went up rushed to the store you don't you don't have a concert t-shirt no i don't know no nor do i second five five eighteen remain here in the second second quarter first half jet motion then he's gonna give to jet sweep on the outside he's going to get outside this time tackle there's a tag on the sideline we miss we'll miss the early one there at the line of skirmish unfortunately close to a first down for the rebels we're gonna call it a first down good run [Music] good lesson for the younger ones watching or listening coach is attacking that outside shoulder when you're trying to keep containment as soon as you dip inside as you saw there you lose containment and they get outside and there's trouble yeah you know what what i've been noticing is they you know they're columbus [Music] the bulldogs aren't they're our senate they're sending their corners every so often and and uh you know when you send your corners on that if it's it's not a jet like that you're giving up contain and it does it does not help bulldogs got caught there with with uh 12 on the field and a credit you know credits at around cali guys just like we say about the wide receivers for columbus north i mean they're they're they are good blocking wide receivers um every time the balls snap each one on the inside runs these guys are out there blocking hard and uh if you get your corner five six yards off the ball it opens up the jet and you can run for 10 yards bulldogs got caught there substituting a couple of players and could not get off the field quickly enough so free play and free five for the rebels a little bit of discussion in the field i'm not sure what the nature is but it is a five yard penalty so it'll be first and five ball on the 45 yard line 432 remain here in the second quarter dogs lead 17-7 left there on the keep this time he's going to bounce it to the right yeah and he's going to get another big gain about 16 yards and not any containment on that right side of the of the field yeah they did the same thing they came out in that play and uh it looked like what's in the pistol there they ran that play in the first quarter not as successfully but they ran it for looked like about 14 yards there but they had run that from that formation before trips with the wing here ball on the right hash rests on the 43 yard line first and 10.
quarterback's going to keep it on the same play on the right hand side and go for another 10. yeah the folks on the other sideline roncalli they picked up on something there they see something they like so they're going to run that play for a bit um it felt a little bit like the last set of dance they had they went away from there a little bit away from their script so now they i think they like what they see the pistol second and short and they'll pick up the first down three straight carries for the big guy their quarterback we uh we don't have the benefit of instant replay but there is a delay in the stream and and since i've got it on my computer here we we here in the booth do have a little bit of delay we can actually look back at these plays a little bit and what that uh what that z receiver is number 13 for roncalli he's just running that corner off on a pass route and clearing him out and then quarterbacks running right behind him [Music] well on the other side of the field we one of the corners just got pancaked so uh there's some blocking and they might be running them up but there's some blocking going on out there as well hard-hitting game [Music] left with the quarterback with another carry there this time a split back a modified wishbone you ever run wishbone coach in high school no no i we you know what we uh interesting we were my first two years in high school we were a power eye team i think everybody was a power rider i remember i remember the lion the detroit lions were uh doing a like a run and shoot barry sanders and herman moore and all these old timers right we're out there and my coach got the crazy idea of putting four guys out there wide outs on the field and we're actually pretty good uh passing football team another big gain there by roncalli that carry was by michael gallagher jr 192 junior for the rebels first down first and ten balls on the 13-yard line there's two minutes 20 seconds romaine both teams have all their timeouts left they're on the keep again to the outside that's a nice fill and stop by holt for the dogs or bring up second and about eight i think if you're roncalli and you get a touchdown here you're happy to go into the half down by three if if the bulldogs get a stop it'll feel like uh it'll feel like a 20-point game instead of a 10-point game they're letting a lot of time roll off second and eight ball on the 11 yard line this ball is to gallagher excuse me hubler again and he's across the middle for being about four to bring up third and two four coaches this is four down territory right i mean you gotta score a touchdown can't be run college i i would agree i think there's still no i think there's a high level of confidence in those those big boys in white up front gave us to hubler again he's rumbling across down close to first down probably going to be a first down i think you got it it is first down clock rolls one minute to go here in the half watch the quick pass i wouldn't be surprised give it to healer he's going to double back and score [Music] touchdown roncalli so so this kid's quick i mean he he hits a a guard or a tackle in the back and he bounces it five yards to the right as fast as anybody out there i mean this really really a good run to score the touchdown luke russell on a kick for the rebels [Music] low snap but it's handled well and kick is up and it is good and the scoreboard reads 17 to 14 50 seconds remain here in the first half dogs do have three timeouts in their pocket what does it mean to believe in something to truly support and get behind it to be committed and invested in making sure it succeeds and grows at first financial bank we go beyond banking providing resources for dreams that matter and giving back to projects that make a difference as our family grows our commitment to serve the community grows with it first financial bank because together we're better yeah better than it was depends what kind of jersey you have on there's no use on that stuff [Music] back here at max anders field 50 seconds from maine in the first half 5-0 less than a minute after the roncalli score scoreboard reads to 14 in favor of the dogs and we'll see how this gets played here russell up to kick it 50 seconds you can do a lot with 50 seconds two or three timeouts left and let's see squib kick here [Music] it's abram holt with the return gets it out about 31 yards the dogs will have it 47 seconds remain did a nice job of scooping that up if he doesn't catch that ball it's going to go another 15 or 20 yards end up in the five yard line range and over by the sideline really smart play first and ten balls on the right hash two by two formation for the dogs looking for a free one on a hard count they don't get it heyman's looking to the sideline now to get the play relayed in same formation he's thinking sideline i look down the middle of the field back to pass he's going to throw out the cast edder five yard out and that's what he gets the second to go and five yards clock stops second five 43 seconds remain in the first half same formation hammond's back to pass over through this time he's looking down the sideline for hayden mcdaniel but miscommunication on the route or what that was but it was over his head and out of bounds were bringing up third and five 39 seconds remain third and five 39 seconds two by two formation ham is going to sprint right this time looking for room still moving ahead he doesn't get out of bounds either clock's gonna run he's gonna be short of the first down and timeout is taken 29 seconds it looks like north took the time out there did you guys figure out number 69 for them he's not his name is he used to be 99.
yes he used to be okay thanks you just changed 29 seconds remain here in the first half and that's one of those timeouts coach you gotta pause for a second and see who called it because it could have been could have been either either team in this situation yeah i mean if you're roncalli you're you're on the 40. you get a stop here you you potentially go down and tie this one up or maybe pull ahead so it's a tough call for columbus north i think they'd love to keep the ball here and go down and get some points but it would be a risky play what would you do i would i would punt this ball away and play it safe and take a lead into halftime but that's uh that's why i'm up here i'm not down there that's not what they're going to do they got the offense on the field here coach you got a couple of options though you you can go hard count you can do quick quick you can quick kick nobody back there right so there's a lot of things you can do here i do like the quick kick option i've not seen luke do that but i'm sure he could so yeah he's a talented king he's probably kicked it in the backyard a few times everybody's kicked in the backyard everybody's a kicker her punter but not everybody's a kicker opponent when you got 11 bad dudes coming downhill at you guys that are 6'5 and 280 in front of you they're going to give it to redmond he's going to break free across the 50 looking to get outside the 46th it's a first down bulldogs goal rest on the 46 yard line chains will set clock will run as soon as the chains are set there we go dogs looking at some personality and they call it timeout it lost about eight seconds on that clock there after some personnel shifting you know when there were five at 23 seconds when they put the ball back in play there were five guys still moving and probably could have used the timeout right there at the 22 second mark that's a tough one for sure 15 seconds remain one time out left for the dogs 17 to 14s to score you definitely don't want to burn the time out there because you might need it here in another second or two well and typically you've uh you again i'm up here i'm not down there but typically you have the same personnel same formation or just a minor adjustment but it looked like they subbed and and maybe flipped flipped the formation as well and a lot of guys moving around a little bit unfortunate nonetheless it was our first miscue we've seen tonight actually from bulldogs it played a pretty clean game so far absolutely nonetheless it was a it was a gutsy call of fourth and one on their own side of the field and a tremendous pick up by redmond and and maybe uh just a a statement to the to the rebels to say we're going to bring it to you there we go first and ten hammonds back to pass looking now looking left looking for cass dinner that's a catch across the 20 brought down still on his feet down to the 15 15-yard line clock will stop for the chains dogs do have one timeout in their pocket we'll see what they do here they will use that they will use that timeout it's a wise move for sure if you have choices i think they're gonna kick it yeah they're gonna they're gonna do a smart thing here they're gonna kick one well i'd say the middle of the field was so open two plays ago and uh they must saw coaches up here in the box probably saw it and uh great play great i mean cass setter loves that play he's caught that ball at least 10 times this season hopefully they'll get three tremendous tremendous series of uh coaching there from the from the bulldog staff being able to march down the field against a really good team in 50 seconds and potentially put points on the board after just uh four or five plays five seconds remain point seven on the clock seventeen fourteen dogs lead no timeouts remain first and ten although it won't matter they're gonna attempt the field goal here good kid really consistent this would be a 31 yarder and ironically his first one he hit was a 31 yarder so kicks away and it is outside to the right wide to the right no good that right there's a win for the roncalli team uh a bit too bad for carter still two seconds on the clock here plenty of leg in the first half the ball comes out to the 20-yard line where roncalli will take possession likely taking a knee here i would guess we'll see yeah hey special thanks again to ruff helm mortgage ovation technology solutions first financial bank columbus wealth jolie rentals and development and overhead door of south central indiana that'll do it for the first half 17-14 dogs

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] so [Music] [Applause] ladies and gentlemen [Applause] [Music] hi i'm jacob martin and this is columbus wealth i am a financial planner here in columbus indiana born and raised a local kid graduated from purdue university and decided that i wanted to come back here to serve my community with money and to help people understand that this stuff doesn't have to be complicated it doesn't have to be surrounded by mystery we understand that there is a importance that is placed on what a dollar does for you and so if i can help someone understand how to use a dollar to do more than one thing that's a pretty neat thing to be able to do and that's what i do every day i often hear that it's nice to just have a third voice in the room or maybe it's a second opinion right depending on who we're sitting down with and when in life you want to be centered on the client and that becomes a relationship we're able to sit down and help people on a macro or micro scale where i can get to know them understand more about who they are because just like how i had to learn all of these things at some point in time in my life i'm still learning every day i want to teach people those same concepts and so we do that by helping people analyze that full picture we're best used by planning and helping people understand how do you use insurance tools how do you use investments how do i look at this differently if i am a business owner or i work for the state or i work for a large corporation those are all different things that matter and different solutions come up in that picture so we want to help people best navigate that growing up in columbus i always found that one of the things we did really well here was to work together i think you see a community that supports itself that it revolves around the idea that not everybody is an expert at everything we're okay with that and that's what we're about at columbus wealth so if at all you're motivated to better understand how money works in your plan and what we might be able to do for you i'd suggest that you take a look at our website you can find us at www.columbuswealthinc.com find us on facebook at our columbus wealth inc facebook page we hope you get the chance to reach out to us and we'd be happy to talk to you with whatever those issues might be [Music] we're back max anders field 1714 dogs lead at halftime another fantastic performance from the sound of north here recognizing the band seniors and the football seniors here at senior night two minutes to go here at half they may put three more minutes up because i don't see any teams yet we got a few minutes here coach what are your what are your thoughts heading into the second half well i mean i think if you're uh if you're the roncalli team you're probably pretty happy you didn't have the football very much in the second quarter and uh and you're in a three-point game i i don't think it didn't look like for a minute there in the second quarter didn't look like it was going to be a three-point game although it's going to be about a 10-point game maybe even a 14 or point game um so i think roncalli is probably feeling pretty good in the locker room right now they got some adjustments they can make i also think they've realized they can't they can actually run the football i mean they they didn't do well passing it at all they zero for two passing it um but they they do know how to run the football their line's pretty good and uh i think they'll come out and try to push the ball straight up the middle of the field in the second half and uh columbus north looks good uh also did i thought played a really good half of football i think they've missed out on a couple of opportunities there at the end uh but you know my guess is that columbus north is probably going to end up if they if their defensive line plays well in second half i think columbus will win this game by a touchdown or two running through some stat lines from the first half bulldogs had 12 first downs 22 rushes for 116 yards 112 passing yards 8 for 10 passing total yards 228 no fumbles no punts and two penalties totaling 15 yards roncalli on the other side of the field 11 first downs 29 carries for 153 yards no passing yards they had two attempts did not complete either early in the first quarter 153 total yards all on the ground one punt 31 yards and one penalty for five yards that's a little it's a little interesting in fact that they only threw it two times i mean they they were having success running the football give them give them credit for that but roncalli if they watch any previous tape i mean columbus north has actually given up some passing yards in their previous games and uh has has looked vulnerable at times in the in their past defense so it's surprising that they have only run the ball uh well with the exception of two plays they've run the ball straight basically straight up the middle uh all night so absolutely talk about balanced rushing attack for the dogs 11 carries for redmond 63 yards and one touchdown 11 carries for hammonds and 53 yards on the ground passing for hammond's eight for 10 112 yards one touchdown cast header the leading receiver four receptions 66 yards his long is 32.
