on the season looking for her first points here tonight and good corinne grabby see if she can convert for her second and she does gives her two points with four ten coming up on the clock see batesville can get an idea of this zone look but not on that possession it was stolen by the olympians may the roberts up to sage stall great pass and a great shot there by sage stahl gives sage four points here tonight maybe robert stood up for only sage could get it and sage went up and came down with it and set herself up for a great layup shot down on the right block back to a double-digit lead here mckayla fires up the long jump shot and miss long and rebounded by bachmann gravy looks out of three passes it off to melee roberts who's hot from beyond the arc but could not get that one to fall backman offensive rebound could not get her turnaround jumper to fall and the bulldogs are going to push the ball down the court bachmann comes in just over six rebounds a game a long three off the mark by michaela but rebounded by 34 brianna wells and she travels there so be olympian basketball off the turnover committed by the bulldogs as grabby brings the ball gives it to sage stahl down inside to gabby dean great pass and up and good for gabby dean gives her four points that's what happens when you're six five you can just manhandle and go over people even brought a double team just could not stop gabby dean right idea as well just through the hands of the bulldogs so we will have albany spear allison craig and caitlin crothers check in for the olympians gabadeen sage stahl will check out and melee roberts as well we'll check out 2 45 coming up in the first quarter gravie fires up a three long has not got a three point shot to fall here tonight looks like michaela and the bulldogs are going to push the ball picks her dribble up gets it inside to wells back out to pride drives baseline and off the hands of the olympians looks like they posted poked it loose so we'll stay on this end of the court catherine rob checks back in and sarah ripker checks in as well both starters sat down early in the first and they are back in probably to end the quarter as emma has it passes it to catherine inside in the corner baseline jump shot up and off the mark great look there by the bulldogs but follows a shot gets offensive rebound but could not get that one to fall that is 33 elston great job getting multiple looks there just could not get get her shot to fall so coming up on two minutes and five seconds here the olympians lead by 13.
when our budget was reduced for 2021 you know first by the board of ed and then ultimately the council we cut very deep into this into this particular budget line so this was unfortunately way too low in this in this budget year so we when we trued it up we realized that we didn't account for the full cost of the service that we provide or pay apex which is 135 000 a year and we also have too little budgeted and legal services compared to what we need and and what our trend is so you know this 184 150 000 of it is really an adjustment to offset a budget that's too low in this fiscal year um so that's really kind of high level explanation of you know where we are with support services i want to take you a little bit deeper into a couple of these categories before we get to to questions so if you look at our transportation cost which again you know represents go back here you know represents three point um you know six million dollars um if you look you'll see that 48 of that cost is for our general education public school routes about 29 is for special education you know routes and costs nine percent goes to fuel equipment and repairs student activity so those are field trips as well as sports charters accounts for about five percent of our total transportation expenses private school routes these are the routes that we run for st bridget's which is mandated by state law we have to provide transportation to the private schools in our in our community four percent is for the voag wilcox and other schools such as sound school where our students attend we do have to provide transportation and then 45 000 or about one percent is for transportation insurance so that's an overview of the largest portion of the support services budget transportation as i mentioned earlier deco's contract you know is continues through june of 2024 when we renegotiated that contract we had a zero percent increase in the first year and now this year we have a two percent escalation and that continues for all four years following the first year so the average uh contract increase per year is about 1.6 percent with daco and these are the things that you know as part of the contract renewal we received you know our deco fleet is equipped with gps and cameras and they did pay for the new trailer the new bus depot office which is in in the form of a triple wide trailer so that works been completed and then just a couple of things i wanted to mention here in terms of cost savings on transportation um two things first of all 1920 actual costs it's okay so this is the fiscal year that ended this past june were lower because we were in remote learning from march to june i'm sure the board members remember that we you know did negotiate with daco um as required you know by the state we did get a reduction of about 20 percent for that period of time but we also saved because we were not running field trips or sports charters during that you know last three months of the fiscal year last year and this year 2021 what we are seeing is um because we are running very few field trips and we've run some sports trips but not as many as we're budgeted you know our actual costs this year will be lower than our budget and then all the other things that we've been doing in in previous years you know will continue um as we look at next year including um you know looking to consolidate you know bus stops and and keep those within board policy that is probably the biggest place that we can realize some savings so support services as a percentage of our total budget has you know really been flat over the last you know four fiscal years including this one um and you know we are expecting a slight decrease for next year and you could see you know kind of rose through this period of time but we've we've been pretty flat the last five years um you know this this big spike um was driven by the um energy performance contract so that cost went into this account and was offset to some extent in the utility account so i'm going to stop there and pause to see if there's any questions uh vin i guess i'll i'll kick it off um let's see firstly fuel uh looked like it looks like fuel is going up and if i recall um we purchased an annual contract for diesel is that correct we don't purchase an annual contract what we do is we try and lock um gallons at a fixed price so you know we look at at the market and we could see we see if we lock in a price so we're not pre-buying it um but we're not locked for next year yet so you know we just don't know what's going to happen to the cost of fuel so it's always a little bit of a of a guess as we we budget our fuel so we we did budget up a little bit but not much i'm just kind of flipping through the book to see where i am with fuel for next year it's like i already noticed that just regular gas i think was up to 250 uh this week if i recall maybe it was 240 and so i'm guessing diesel went higher than that um and so we've enjoyed pretty low fuel prices the last you know three four years and i just was wasn't sure kind of like at what uh per gallon you kind of locked in at for what kind of flexibility we have i'm not locked out for next year right no i understand but i mean as far as the budget number goes oh i'm guessing you made some sort of assumption there we did of course i don't remember what it is i just want to make sure there's a flexibility there i mean it's showing it it's showing at 3600 decrease decrease yeah decrease yeah so what one percent you know here's the thing about about next year too we're not sure depending on how the year kicks off with the pandemic you know hopefully things will be relatively normal even though we're decreasing from last year's budget by a small amount you'll see that in the in the prior years like the year before we spent 241 000 on fuel but that was 1920 when we were you know not running buses the last three months of the year so i think we're okay in that budget category i tend not to be too um i i tend not to budget too low just because we do have the risk of increased fuel prices right um secondly um if i recall last year we were transitioning to a new financial software at the high school has that occurred because i i remember a president that a presentation actually occurred on march 12th last year which was the day that we were shutting down uh where mike woods uh was showing us um the financial software they're using at dodd was steem superior to the one that they're using at the high school and if i recall there was a some kind of transition we were going to use that system wide and i just wasn't sure if if that had occurred or if there was a different plan um no so the the software i just remember that increase there the 100 yeah so you're talking about the student activity software uh that's what it is and is it yes okay yeah so that's that's separate from our main financial software but to answer your question we had transitioned dodd first and now all our schools are on that software high school so we we did complete that transition oh good because the reporting was so much better yes yeah okay um thank you um looks like we have some questions now uh okay i've lost shrek let me see i to know my time stamp i think tim you were up first thanks adam yeah just the topic you were mentioning before about the uh the fuel budget for transportation and i just want to reiterate what i think everybody in the meeting here i'm not sure about people out in tv land um but my hope is to both electrify and decarbonize our transportation budget the not so distant future and i think we can do it through a combination of solar and electric school buses the solar is here i think it's in the money we'll find out in the next week or next few weeks and i think the electric school buses probably should be happening within a few years um but anyway i think that's one way we can make some progress especially if grant monies are made available you know to purchase an electric or some type of a hybrid school bus fleet in the future but i have no doubt you'll keep us informed if you hear of anything i will i promise there's no doubt about that um i don't think there are any other questions or comments so uh vin i can continue on okay so the next and and really the last section of the budget is maintenance and operations um and so not surprisingly this the school buildings are a year older than we presented uh last year we're averaging 70.25 years of age uh the what i did want to point out just again i know the board members are well aware of this but our school buildings you know not only serve school use and you could see here these are the eight buildings that that we have um but we also support quite a bit of community events you know and you could see here at the high school this is 1819 this was the last full year of events obviously 1920 you know in march when the pandemic hit you know through this year we have not been using our buildings for after-school events but you know we have thousands of events every year when we're not in a pandemic so you know the schools you know do get a lot of use both by students and after hours by our community the maintenance and operations budget is intended to support all of all of the use of our buildings so the maintenance and operations budget you'll see here on this slide is about five percent of the overall budget the total request for maintenance and operations next year is this 3 million 948 262.
You can contact me later after or find out from your counselor. But um we do a lot of great work. Um and without further ado, I'd like to introduce our speaker for today. Our speaker is Dr. Sanuchi. Um she has been recognized by Yale University School of Medicine for her outstanding teaching and has received the award for exemplary performance as a clinician and educator.

Hi everyone. I think we're going to go right into the program and um Miss Daniels, if it's okay, we can pull up the slide deck. It's truly an honor to be here today. And what we're going to be sp speaking about at the annual freshman forum is focusing on Next slide, please.
that's in the red and that's trending up for criteria 2 percent positivity that's 22.7 that is red that is trending down slightly and for criteria three hospital visits that's 18 and that is in the red and that is trending up and for gilbert public school specific data um reported on i'm sorry this should be the 21st um case rate is 990.31 for 100 000 that's red trending up criteria two percent positivity is 25.35 percent that is trending up as well and that's red and criteria three is three thirteen point seven percent that's red and that's slightly trending down so those are the two areas that we've looked at and this is just a side by side comparison of maricopa county and gilbert public schools boundaries and then again this is over the last four weeks as reported i don't need to go through each one of them but it's available and this will be available online tomorrow morning and for gps boundaries next i just wanted to give you some information based on cases to date uh for january 2021.

it's about a 10.3 percent increase and you'll see in a moment where we're requesting that increase i think it's a really important to highlight that about 36 percent of this budget is utilities and heating for the building primarily electricity but also heat sewer water which you'll see that in the next slide about 33 actually goes for building maintenance and repair and a large portion of that is the cleaning services that we have to provide in our buildings every day about 20 is for oh i'm sorry the building cleaning services is broken out there at the 20 maintenance supply is about 7 and equipment maintenance and repairs about four percent of this budget as we dig a little bit deeper this is the um 1.4 million or 36 percent of the maintenance budget is for utilities and heating and you see electricity is about half of it you know i i will note that prior to doing the um energy performance improvements with amaresco you know our electricity budget and bills were running over a million dollars a year so you know they're certainly lower and as we've done you know additional energy improvements in our buildings even after the ameresco energy performance contracts such as converting the rest of our leds a rest of our lighting to led about you know pretty much about 99 of the lighting inside out our buildings are now leds that's helped bring the cost of electricity down you'll see that heating whether using oil natural gas and propane is about 25 of this portion of the budget garbage and recycling is about 11 water usage that we pay to the regional water authority is about 6 percent and then we have gas and propane not for heating but for cooking in our schools and that's about four percent and then about three percent is for sewer use that we pay to the town of cheshire so utilities and heating are about 36 percent of the maintenance budget so here's the remaining 64 of the maintenance budget cleaning services you know account for 31 of this portion building repairs and improvements you know even though we have almost a four million dollar maintenance budget only about 616 000 is going you know for repairs and improvements you know we do during the course you know of the school year some of these are planned you know a lot of these are things that we have to fix because you know things break whether it's plumbing electrical you know windows doors those types of things all come out of this portion of the budget you know grounds maintenance is about um 11 maintenance supplies 11 you can see those are just over 250 000 a year um and then snow plowing is the last one i wanted to point out we're budgeting next year a hundred thousand dollars for snow plowing um you know last year was much less than that this year we have a hundred twenty thousand dollars budgeted so we did reduce that it's it ranges so you know we we're comfortable with the hundred thousand it is though a little bit of a reduction from what we're paying this year and security monitoring services for our buildings is about two percent of 54 000 of you know the this portion of the maintenance budget if we look here this is the 3948 that's being requested it's an increase of 370 000.
We're going to be focusing on the effects of drugs and alcohol on the adolescent brain. And this is really science. And we're going to bring science into each and every one of your homes during an incredibly difficult time period in the world, but an amazingly exciting time period for each and every one of you as freshmen in high school. So some of the talking points that we're going to hit upon are the science of the adolescent brain, the impact of underage nicotine, marijuana, and alcohol use on the healthy development of your brain. We'll just speak very peripherilally about vaping hazards. We will speak about the consequences of underage drinking that may result in emergency department visits. and I'm a pediatrician who practices in pediatric emergency medicine and I've been doing that for about 28 years. So unfortunately have a lot of experience with that. And then I would like to share as a pediatrician, as an emergency medicine physician, and also as a mom, what it's like when you're making a phone call, when you see an adolescent come into your emergency department who's had an unoured effect from the use of drugs or alcohol.
um if you look starting on the eighth and and that's where we have reported we had 12 cases and as we have moved through you'll see the line going up and down up and down as we go through and i imagine those trends will continue as we move through the next few weeks at least dr mccord when you say cases to date that's within our boundaries within our boundaries correct gilbert public schools thank you for clarifying that our highest state our highest number so far was on the 15th with 108 reported cases and again within our boundaries and that's with to our school district not just in general it's our actual school district not not people outside right okay correct i have a just a question about um about how i i know that that we follow the guidelines that were given by the arizona department of health but there are times that cases don't get necessarily reported on here can you explain that please it depends on um when those individuals have been on campus and exposed i'll have jennifer come up to do the specifics because she does this every minute of the day so with epidemiology's help from maricopa county they've explained to us that within 48 hours of being on campus so the person is either symptomatic or they have a test collection and 48 hours prior to that they consider that their infectious period so we go back those few days if a person was on christmas break then they weren't on campus if they were on vacation if for some reason they didn't hybrid if they attended school the last time they were in school was thursday but their first symptoms were on two than the following tuesday again they weren't on campus within 48 hours so then there was no exposure during campus time so these numbers could be higher yes um i believe when i looked at it we had an additional don't quote me 83 cases um between january 4th when we came back and now that would have not been reported due to that 48 hours the 50 of those were students and the remainder were staff so a lot of those were christmas break so they wouldn't have exposed anybody on campus basically they they are not part of you don't we don't send a letter home because they haven't been in class to expose according to what the maricopa county health and others have given us and so by not including them basically we're just the what we're looking at is what exposures have we had on our campuses correct and then what transmission possibly has happened on our campuses that's what we're trying to track because that's what we can control and mitigate for correct so dr santa cruz from may um so miss frost so just trying to understand the full full gamut here so if a student has covered but was not on campus at a time within the 48 hours of symptom or thereafter when they were contagious are we are we understating the risk within the school community by not including them in in the dashboard you know i i don't believe so these are not things that we came up with these are not our guidelines these are guidelines straight from department of health from their epidemiologists this is how they work cases that are out in the community as well so if we if i was to be positive for kovid and the county would call me they would ask me to go back 48 hours prior to my symptoms or to when the test was collected to look at when i could have possibly come in contact with people and then infected them so i feel that that's an appropriate approach to use on the school campus as well we do find people that show up symptomatic in school and you know when they report it or have been in school within that 48 hours and we report those as well our goal is to make sure that when we are communicating with parents and staff that there's a positive case that that matches what we're what we're looking at on the dashboard as well so that they can see that we're reporting to them what is actually happening on campus anything else not necessarily from miss frost but uh she may chime in so if we if we look at the impact of covid within the within the school system if we have a student who is not on campus becomes symptomatic never you know hopefully because they're they're following the guidelines and not reporting school because they're having symptoms so they've never exposed anybody else how do we measure within our school system how many kids are not in class not necessarily exposure you know as we talk about delivery method and impact and so on you know if i look i've got kids who are active i've got and we're on campus that are now now no longer on campus i've got kids who who may have that that is covered but we're never on campus but are now missing school for 10 to 14 days um i've got kids that we've asked to quarantine do we have a way of measuring how many kids are actually affected and not in class because of the cases that are in the system even if they weren't exposed early on we did we had a way that we would mark attendance so that we knew who was out because of actual positive coveted case or because they were being quarantined but it became problematic because then it felt like students were being marked in a way and so we went back to the regular way we did attendance which is everybody is sick excused or unexcused i believe on campuses they probably have their own way of tracking it and we could it probably would take a little while i think and i'm just again i'm just trying to understand the impact of how many kids are missing school if we you know we've had this discussion before this is not the first time we've asked similar questions anecdotally we also have students that are out because their parents are positive so we do a parents calling school saying i'm sorry we can't send our kids to school because my wife and i are i am positive and they've been very upfront about it and and very good about the quarantine process itself also just to know any students that are just because they're not considered on the dashboard because they weren't infectious on campus we still follow up with them so they're still following their isolation protocols they're still out for 10 days the nurse is still giving them guidelines for that so they're still out of school they just weren't necessarily reported on the dashboard because their infectious period was not while they were on campus so they're still our hand is still in it as far as that process we're still helping them with school online or via you know emails things like that with their teachers it's just the reporting process is different and right now i'm changing a little bit topics right now our our policy as per the county in the state is that they can return after five days six days with a negative test that's quarantined quarantine yes yes that's quarantine they can return on the eighth day if they have a negative test on the sixth day okay so isolation is when you're actually have covid yourself and then quarantine is if you've been exposed and some of our neighboring states have in the as of december have actually done away with the quarantine for exposed students is that not correct so jama the journal of american medicine and the cdc have found a very low spread within campuses so some states have opted to not quarantine due to campus exposure and i'm just asking this question i'm not necessarily going anywhere i'm just trying to make sure we're aware of all the information and make sure that the public is aware that that information came out prior to christmas um i did ask our county partners about that at that point they weren't ready to change that guidance and then of course our community numbers went you know through the roof so it was poor timing i believe that if our community was on board um personally and socially and our numbers were low that would be possibly a great idea so that students wouldn't have to quarantine but with the numbers like this in the community i don't know that we would ever get that guidance changed now to clarify that the two states that i'm aware of that made those change that is specific to exposure at schools correct and also specific if the if they can demonstrate that both the person with the case and the person exposed were both wearing masks then they waved the quarantine so it's not a blanket wave of the quarantine right right right it's a situational correct anyone else i do have one question from ms frost um when we i know we've done a lot of the contract contact tracing um and we've had students out quarantining because they have been exposed have we seen those students um coming down with covert or has that been a more uh rare exception that's been that's been the exception not the rule correct okay thank you i i had one question uh actually two one would be to follow up to you said there were 80 cases that have not or so that have not been reported 50 of which were students 30 or around about yeah would you say would you say a majority of those were over the christmas break and then spilled into the school base the school year basically yes because that makes sense if they got it over when especially when the numbers have been so high correct the majority of them i would say 90 of them were were because of over the break and just didn't ever come back to school because of that right okay and also some of them also could be like on the hybrid days too correct yeah and that's now that the christmas break is is further in the background that is what we're seeing now is every once in a while of somebody that was on hybrid and that that's why it's not reported or reportable then my second question is is there any way that we can as mentioned by one of the parents tonight can we is there anything that we can do to to shorten the time that we send out notice to parents from when we receive the information or are we what's the process are we as timely as we can be on that and it's just because we've we're wait we've haven't heard from the cds i mean the county or the parents or what what is the processing can we do anything you send the letter the notice out the day we are informed so a lot of the the delay has to do with either the testing results because we're seeing when the cases go up test results take longer so we have people that are taking four or five six days to test some people don't test the day they have symptoms either so they may have symptoms in the weight three to four days before so we know their last day was wednesday they test saturday and you wait to send it out on monday because you've got the positive test on monday report anything until we know the test is okay okay i've had several um administrators ask me well this child had you know three symptoms can't we just please send a letter out to the classroom and say this child was sick and i said we we can't we don't know it's coveted we can't send out letters in fact county did not approve of the idea of uh sending the general classroom exposure letters because of this same idea because parents are getting letter after letter and it's general so they might it might have been a you know a para that came into a classroom for 10 minutes and we report that because we want to make sure that we're being as clear and as transparent as possible so i my personal belief is then that brings the anxiety up so as parents get three and four notices they in their heads feel like oh my goodness it must be that three or four people in my child's classroom that they sit with have this but that's not necessarily the case but we are reporting every single possible instance and an exposure is different than a closed contact so close contact is within six feet for 15 minutes and exposure is just an exposure it could be somebody that was you know in the room for 10 minutes it could be you know a student that sat on the complete opposite end of the classroom but we're trying to be very diligent to make sure that there's nothing that we're hiding about that thanks and thank you to your nurses and everyone trying to they are work through this amazing i my hope my wish is that nurses week this week will be something huge for them because they have they have done it all they're amazing thank you well and i i really appreciate that we can have nurses at every school that's a that's a huge thing that gilbert has done and i really appreciate that i did have one more question um because we have all these mitigation strategies because of covid has that also cut down on the other illnesses that we usually see flu colds that kind of thing you know what's interesting is before break we were seeing kids that were symptomatic of a respiratory illness and the majority of children that got tested in the elementary system were not coveted it was your average cold or whatever um it's the the upper classes the high school and the junior well more the high school that were had more issues with it but the kids that went home in elementary school the ones that chose to test which were quite a few i would say more than half they were not covered so um overall is are things down yes yes but unfortunately i don't know how many practitioners are testing for the flu right now okay so that's hard to tell all right thank you you can ask one more question ms ross some of our neighboring states are doing a test in the school so if they if they see a certain number of cases at a given school the state is actually stepping in at the request of the school but with the state will step in and do a what they're calling it at least one state a test to attend so they can come in if they're rapid test if they're negative they can attend if they are positive or the parents choose not to then they're asked to quarantine for 14 days before returning because of the outbreak at that school has our state or county talked about doing anything or offering any kind of service like that no the only offer they had was an offer for rapid tests that they would supply to us but the burden of being able to process and use those tests was so high we had to agree to report everything to county in the state we had to collect the test which if any of you have ever tried to use a q-tip and put it up a child's nose usually takes more than one person and so we don't have staff for that we would need several extra people in each health office in order to use those and included in that all those things we also had to agree to test for flu as well and so the burden of using those was way too much higher than what the positives would be that was the only offer they had for the for for schools as far as that went mr carr i think some states actually funded that you know which makes a whole difference because you know when we don't have the funding no and that was my question does the state or county consider doing that and and the state that i'm aware that's doing that that i've been reading and following it is the state department of health will come in and facilitate that at the state's expense when when there's an outbreak out of school and they're defining by the way the an outbreak of is one percent active cases defined defining active cases the exact same way that we are that's interesting good anything else stay close okay all right i'll move on just to let you know where we're at total confirmed coveted cases since september 10th 2020 students is 873 staff is 253 and total is 1126.

we're budgeting about a three and a half percent increase just for our utility lines you know that's in line with what we expect for next year we're not looking to increase the maintenance repair and equipment budget but we are looking to increase you know the funds allocated for maintenance and repairs of our buildings um you'll see that in this fiscal year 2021 we we did reduce this to 1.8 million we expended 1.9 million last year so you know we're really trying to secure some additional funding just to you know keep our buildings in the best possible shape that we can same for maintenance supplies you know we did increase this by about 665 000 so this 270 000 is is really in line with what we had to expend the last several years i will note that 450 000 that we expended for maintenance supply in 1920 a lot of that had to do with um the pandemic which you know hit us from march to june so we we purchased quite a bit of disinfecting cleaning uh and even ppe out of that particular line item so you know we don't need as much as we spent in 1920 certainly but the 271 000 is more realistic to what we need and we do believe that you know the the type of cleaning supplies uh and disinfecting supplies that we'll use in the future you know need to meet a bit of a higher standard and they need to meet the green cleaning standards as well so that that explains why we're looking to increase that and we have a modest increase budgeted for heat and energy same risk that you know adam you raised as to the fuel uh for our buses you know the same thing applies to heat and energy we do not lock our heating oil prices until we enter the new fiscal year our natural gas which is most of our buildings at this point um you know we're on a month-to-month contract actually we're just on the utility rate with yankee gas which is now eversource for most of the schools and we have one school now that's on propane which is darcy that used to be on heating oil so you know we're comfortable with the number as long as it's a reasonable you know normal winter without extreme extreme cold that that amount should be just fine for our um maintenance and operating budget um i'm going to pause there because really the next section of you know what i want to cover under maintenance and operation is the capital budget so i think this would be a good place to pause for questions and also make sure that you want to keep going this evening because the next section is probably about 10 minutes i'm not seeing any questions and i'm not seeing any opposition to continuing on okay so vin go ahead thank you sir okay so the the purpose of this next section is really to lead into the the capital budget request which at this point is um in the hands of the planning committee for consideration the planning committee does have a meeting scheduled for thursday evening as i said earlier at 6 pm to take a second pass at what was recommended for the capital budget the planning committee asked for some changes in the year one request which i'm just showing here for informational purposes in in one of the upcoming slides um so as as we talked about you know our newest building highland was constructed 50 years ago again that's our newest building and our oldest building that we're supporting is here where i am at hummingston which is 109 years old we have you know our portable classrooms a maintenance garage bus depot storage trailers you know even though we we did take away all the storage trailers from the athletic field at the high school we still have other buildings and other properties where we have storage trailers so we're responsible to maintain all of those non-building spaces we've got 760 000 square feet of buildings plus the roof systems overhead thousands of linear feet of sidewalks and parking lots acres of outside grounds and so when we look at how we fund the maintenance of our buildings and the investment in capital projects for our building it's not just the operating budget that that we went through which is about you know just on the four million dollars requested for next year you know there's a capital budget that supports long-term building improvements and so this is just a quick overview the capital budget is intended to fund building improvements you know as well as construction or purchase of equipment that's over a hundred ten thousand dollars the town council every year approves a five-year capital expenditure plan uh as well as funding for the first year of that plan and they'll do that in april to coincide with the approval of the operating budget for the schools in the town any expenditures over 500 000 if they're one shot or cumulative to total 500 000 do need to go to vote a referendum so after the council approves it requires voter referendum um and then i i think the rest you know that we fund anything under 100 ten thousand generally through the operating budget so for the years 21 through 25.
Next slide, please. So a little bit about the adolescent brain. Normally I would ask and we would normally be in the auditorium. What age group do we care for in pediatrics? And I can share with you that generally we will care for children up until the age about 21. And that's kind of interesting because those are really young adults. But one of the reasons why we care for people in that age group is and it's birth up until about 21 is because the brain is still developing. And it may come as a little bit of a surprise to some of you and even to your parents when your brain as a teenager is fully developed and in particular the frontal part of your brain. When is that actually fully developed? And we can go to the next slide. The frontal part of your brain honestly is not truly developed until about 25 to 27 years of age, which is really kind of crazy.
um just to let you know as we talked about the dashboard dashboard is updated every monday through friday usually before 9 a.m they include reporter current active cases and resolve cases for each campus going back we will use the cases reported each wednesday to determine if any schools will need to return to hybrid the following monday and that would last for two weeks and that's using the percentages listed here one percent for high school 1.5 percent for junior high two percent for elementary at canyon valley five active cases and at rise in your high three active cases um dr mccord just remind me i think most of those numbers especially for elementary and junior high even though elementary seems that much higher it's like less than 10 cases at most of our elements that is correct you're looking between probably 7 and 12 i mean the breadth of them for for any elementary correct depending on elementaries that is correct all right thank you you bet next i'd just like to give you a quick update um for point of distribution our pod update for vaccines at the beginning of this and when we heard a vaccine was coming out um mrs frosten and myself had made contacts stating that we'd we'd be very very willing to host one of these and as you've seen some have been able to host um while others are still waiting and we finally got our date and we will be holding a pod saturday february 13th and sunday february 14th from 9am to 5pm at highland high school we'll be partnering with higley unified school district and queen creek school district we also have to offer it to other charter schools private schools and day care centers within our area what happens with this is we work with a pharmacy we get partnered with a pharmacy and that's albertson safeway pharmacy they'll be supplying the vaccine and doing the vaccinations on friday february 5th they will share with us the link to sign up and once we receive that we will share it with all of our staff and again this is as updated as information as we can get which was yesterday afternoon i believe right mrs frost and so if we have anything more important we'll definitely be putting it out to our staff and letting them know mesa public schools has theirs going on and they had several available slots and so um it was opened up to us in gilbert public schools for those schools that and departments that resided within mesa city boundaries so we've had employees go to their location and be vaccinated so we're thankful for that as well and i think that's a a good point that this is this is not about one community or one school district this is this is about all of us and so partnering with these other school districts is a very good thing and opening up to those others in our communities for the 1a and 1b areas and so we're just very thankful that we're going to have this opportunity and we'll make sure our staff knows exactly what to do when the time comes i make an observation on this um we were able to sign up through chandler gilbert's number of of staff members and trying to get on the website has been a nightmare um i know a number of teachers that have gone to chandler gilbert and and gotten their first vaccine and i personally got a an email from the arizona department of health telling me to go for my second one and so i i i have the i guess i want to say the luxury of being able to go online every hour on the hour all day long and there are no vaccines as of right now and so i think that's that that's the concern i have this is a wonderful opportunity as long as somebody hasn't gotten the shot already or their vaccine because you can't mix the different kinds of vaccine and chandler gilbert was i believe is pfizer and as his state farm is pfizer and i think the school districts are doing modernize is that correct that is correct so i think this is absolutely wonderful and i'm really pleased that we're able to do it it's just that there's a number of our staff members who are getting stuck in this next category of not being able to get their second one in a timely manner i ended up actually talking to somebody yesterday after i waited on the phone for 45 minutes and basically what i was told by the person at the arizona department of health is that there are no second vaccines right now i have no idea how true that is i would assume that somebody that answers the phone there knows what they're talking about so i think you know that's a concern i have is that i i i she also said that the efficacy is around 50 to 55 percent for the first one for the pfizer and i i i'm assuming it's the pfizer i didn't i didn't pursue that so you know i think that's that's a frustration that a lot of people i'm hearing are having is not being able to you know they did everything right they got the first one and now they can't get the second one and i know that's not your fault at all you know i mean you guys are doing not everything else but and this is a wonderful opportunity do we know though that this is the first one for a lot of people this might be their first one on with this opportunity do you know what the second one is i think it's in in the middle of march i think if i remember reading your memo so so teachers basically are our or staff members are having to wait possibly up to two months to be fully vaccinated depending on where you've gone and i believe the mederno though if after the first vaccination is above 92 after the first one and the second one is 95 so that will help some of that miss frost can you give us any updates about the second vaccinations and what what you are doing as a school district and nurses and trying to help our teachers so we actually have been putting out communications our communications department has been great about updating our employee hub and our health services page with some tips that we found from maricopa about if you have not been able to get a second dose here's a link you can go to to fill out a survey they wanted to kind of get a gauge on exactly how many people were waiting we also gave them information from dr cara crist that she had put out about how for the second dose they don't want you to get the second dose any earlier than four days before it's due but there is no change in efficacy if you get it at 30 days 40 days 50 days at this point they are saying that it is no change in how much your coverage is if you don't get your dose on time or even 20 to 30 or 40 days after that so i know it's there's a lot of anxiety around getting that second dose gcu did open up a site today and we put that out to the employees as well so i think as time goes on more sites will open up but we just have to be patient and we've put out every bit of information that we could to our employees so that they would have that as well i don't know if you can answer this question or not but maybe it would help is it an absolute that you cannot mix the dose the two different ones so um from the department of health it is not an absolute um it is not recommended but but quote unquote you will not grow another head if you mix the doses so let's just say hypothetically that you have staff members that got their first one and cannot get the second one by this date and they got pfizer could they possibly get the mederna without do i mean i don't know if you can even answer that question i i wouldn't answer that question for the mere fact that if something goes wrong and someone said they heard it here i'll i'll call it the department of health yeah i think that's well it's not it's not clinically appropriate no okay i did have a couple more questions the on the um 13th and 14th do we have hours is this going to be around the clock what it is from 9am to 5pm okay that's that's right no way and then then we have a planned event in march that they can then come back for their second dose correct for the follow-up yep okay all right thank you very much and then finally sorry um so this again is for one a and one b those people who qualify for one and one b which includes our teachers employees did i misspeak there well it could be for 1a if you're talking if it's a school nurse but it's any school employees and the way that they awarded it is any person who is important to the operations of the school so everybody that works for the school charter private and then as well any day care providers or child care centers okay and i just want to say how great and amazing it is that that we have prioritized teachers and everybody that works because i know people who are not in 1b yet and who are wanting to get the vaccine and aren't even able to get it yet and so i'm i'm excited that even though even though we're waiting and we're trying our best and we're it's urgent so urgent that we're able to get these vaccines to those who want it and i know that many teachers are have gone after it and really worked hard to get it i appreciate them but i'm also thankful that we can have it and that they have those opportunities and that they've made that available to our teachers knowing how important it is for our students and teachers to be in school so thank you we'll be looking for volunteers as we get closer to that and we also may be looking for schools to or or families to donate we're going to have to have like 15 pop-up tents that we need to have out there so it really will be a community effort and we'll be putting out information as some of those needs come up dr sanders if i can my questions have been answered but i just want to comment um dr mccord i think you slightly downplayed the effort that the that miss frost and the district has taken to get this pod um i know that i've been asking outside of the board meeting for it seems like you know five or six weeks can we get our own pod can we get our own pod and i know that miss frost from day one the first time i asked this we already have an application in we followed up we're waiting to hear back we so um to to teachers and staff please know i know that miss frost is frustrated that it's taking we're as excited as we are and as much as i want to say thank you to the county and thank you to ms frost and her staff for for organizing this and getting it going i also want our our staff and teachers to know that this has taken longer than any of us would have wished and certainly miss frost would have wished we would have liked to have offered this the very first day that it was open to teachers but um we're working through the system and i just personally want to say thank you for all your efforts to get this in place dr santa cruz can ask one more question would there be later on then would we continue to offer pods as it as it goes down to one sea and then to the community or how do you know how that will be rolled out later on is that going to be through pharmacies and just at the pharmacy or do you know i don't know i don't believe that we would be asked as a school district to be providing any for the other categories okay um but you know there's been a lot of unanswered questions about a lot of things so okay thank you never know that concludes my report thank you dr mccord and if the board will indulge me i would like to express a point of personal privilege i think it's consistent with the discussion we've been having and as i read my statement i want to make it very clear that i do not speak for the board i am speaking for myself as a board member prophet 19 has caused us all to remain constantly vigilant about the threat that this illness presents to all segments of our community i believe that we have all come to realize that there are no right answers the best we have is our ability to assess the data review a myriad of reports consider the ramifications of our decisions and proceed in accordance to our best judgment given the information each of us as individuals has analyzed and reviewed for him or herself given all of the information that is available i submit that we are confronted with conflicting difficult decisions these occur because the data and the information received are also conflicting and inconclusive in many circumstances as we seek a right answer we are left with the results that provides us with a momentary best course of action if there is a right answer i will happily embrace it i will respect the will of the majority vote on our last meeting i must however express my opposition to our implementation of in-person instruction beginning february 1st 2021.
gets it to fall she goes she's four for four here tonight michaela attacks kicks it out defensive rotation has been a faint a great job here getting in passing lanes and causing them to take bad shots as you can see right there but a rebound that's been a key factor for batesville's second chance shots the olympians need to get that figured out by tournament time because they have some really tough opponents and they're sectional in the corners gravy she fires up the three and off the mark still cannot seem to get her touch from beyond the arc but mikayla's going to drive jump stop and fires up a good looking floater shot there michaela granger young gives her five she hit a three in the first and gets her first points here in the second 40 to 12 is our score maybe roberts kicks it to murphy back to roberts she fires up to three nothing but net melee roberts four threes here tonight with only one miss gives her 12 points leading the way for the olympians he gives her 37 made threes on the season fantastic shooting performance here in the first half for roberts looks like the bulldogs try to answer back with the three off the mark but offensive rebound by the bulldogs and stolen by gravy she's dribbling down the left-hand side and draws the found she'll be at the line for two once again 117 remaining here in the second quarter michaela granger young picks up her first gives the bulldogs five fouls so gravies five for five here tonight and six for six gives her two points at the frito line once again all of our points coming off of free throws here in the first half down inside great find there by the bulldogs number 34 brianna wells gets her first points here in the second half gives her four points great fine and great cuts inside of the zone leah bachmann gets a good look but off the mark under a minute's here 50 seconds on the clock see if batesville is going to hold it for one last shot gravy picks up a touchy foul there gives her her second and basically will be in the bonus be one on one for number four a 5-1 sophomore emma weiler is at the line for the bonus 47.6 seconds remaining here and gets the first one to fall so she'll get our second looks like crothers will check in for gravy crater comes in with five points here tonight and cannot convert on the second so allison craig dribbles down the courts crothers back to bachmann austin craig head fakes gives it to roberts back to roberts across court to murphy down inside to carter's but a foul will be called on number 34 brianna wells with 27.6 seconds remaining here in the second quarter be her first team six foul looks like kylie kaiser checks back in for the bulldogs and wells will sit down for the remainder of the first half in the corner roberts who's been red hot could not get that three-point basket to fall but a strong offensive rebound by carruthers to keep it alive she comes in averaging just over two rebounds a game she's had quite a bit here tonight great idea just through the hands of carruthers and a turnover committed by the olympians with 14.6 seconds remaining here well excuse me i spoke too soon briana wells checks back in for number four emma weiler so see if batesville can hold it for one last shot and let's hope the olympians cannot foul here see what batesville has in their playbook a great jump shot up and good for brianna wells gives her six points four in this quarter and there we have it folks the end of the first half the olympians lead big 45-17 over the visitors the batesville bulldogs join bartholomew consolidated school

half but the indiana high school athletic association girls basketball sectional draw came out and like we mentioned early on in this live stream the columbus east olympians will take on a very well coached and a all-around great team the east central trojans and game one in game two the crosstown rivals of columbus north bulldogs will take on bloomington south and whoever wins a columbus east east central game will take on martinsville who got a first round by in game three and whoever wins the columbus north bloomington south game will take on bloomington north who also got a a first round bye so either columbus north will take on bloomington north or the bloomington rival showdown will happen in the sectional semifinals but if you're an olympian fan you're cheering them on as they've lost to east central early on in the season but two tough games if the olympians win against east central they have to take on a very well coached and well-rounded team as well the martinsville artesians and looking at our visitors the batesville bulldogs they got they received the first run by so they will play the winner of connorsville or lawrenceburg also in their sectional greensburg will take on franklin county and rushville consolidated will take on southern dearborn so baseville was the only team in the sectional to receive a first round by in their sectional 29 and that will be host at rushville consolidated so i'm sure batesville is looking to finish out the season get back to practice watch some film and be ready to go by tournament time as they lost to lawrenceburg but beat crothersville excuse me connorsville so i'm sure they're looking forward to take on either of those teams that come their way statwise for batesville emma wheeler has one point she hits a free throw in the second quarter michaela granger young has five points a three-point basket in the first and two points in the second carly pride has two comes in then scoring two points in the second quarter sarah ripker has one point hit one free throw in the first quarter briana wells has six points leads the way for batesville she has two points in this first quarter and four points in the seconds and finishing out as cali kaiser comes in adding two points as well and those two points came in in the second quarter and looking at our home team the olympians allison craig scored five points in the second quarter grivey's has six points all coming off of free throws albany spear hits a three-point basket in the first quarter but did not score in the second sage stall has six points scored four in the first and two in the second quarter leah bachmann who led the way for the olympians in their hhc championship win over juniors county with 22 only has two points here tonight but has got plenty of rebounds so two points for leah bachman did not score in the second quarter gabby dean has six points scored four in the first quarter and two in the second and the red hot maybe roberts with four first half three pointers hit two in the first two in the second gives her 12 points leading the way for the olympians and finally caitlin crothers has five points scored two in the first and three in the second quarter so we will take another short break here with 250 until the start of the second half so welcome back we are about 30 seconds away from the start of the second half the olympians lead big 45 to 17 over the visitors batesville bulldogs the lady goes will be back in action here at home thursday taking on cathedral so i'm sure the olympians are looking forward to that game as well they have this game and two more games until excuse me this game two more games and that will round out the end of the season then we'll get into tournament time so baseball basketball to start the second half mikayla's shot is up and off the mark we got a mixture of varsity and jv players here tonight we have jenna goosa freshman sage stahl harley gant and grabby as gantz had a fantastic jv game she could not get that shot to fall as carly pride dribbles down the courts the olympians once again staying well excuse me they switched up and going to man-to-man normally they've seen a 2-3 zone look most of the game but they're switching up coming out of halftime back door cut and great fine but great hustle and hands there by the freshman jenna goose to get her hands and on the pass and knock it out of bounds but batesville excuse me will keep the ball on their end of the court a pump fake by the bulldogs and blocked by you know who gabby dean and gant gets the block on that one and rebounded by gravy and a blocking foul taken by number three catherine robb will be i think her second foul will be her second team's first 702 remaining here in the third quarter gabby dean catches the inbounds pass jump shot by sage stall and she'll draw the foul and she'll be at the line for two c comes in on the season shooting 73 percent 22 of 30 on the season she has six points looking at seven and eight as the first one is good nothing but nets looking at her second let's see if she can get the same results on that one it is up and in and out so one point for sage stall on that free throw shirt we'll give her seven points and looks like she's going to get the steal but greats hustle by both of them both of the 20s on the floor carly pride and sage stahl the shot is off the mark rebounded by gantt and gravy pushes it down up to jenna goose fires that shut up tried to draw a foul could not get it to fall and rebounded by rob and she looks to push the ball on the court upon 6 25 here in the third quarter rob gets it down inside to kaiser off the mark and stolen by gant and passes it to gravie up the court to goose she fires a three off the mark and rebounded by sage stall the free throw jump shot off the mark follows her shot gets the rebound to gravie she fires up a three and no good a great strong rebound there by michaela granger young and jenna goose picks up her first teams first still cannot gets a three-point basket to fall she took a few of them in the first half same results as her last year in the second half just cannot find her touch here she has six points all coming off of free throws great play there and a great find by the bulldogs carly pride has four points and the first point scored for the bulldogs here in the second half down on side to gabby dean fires up the shot bank shot up and good gabbadine with eight points here tonight gabby dean's right at her average with eight points on the season i'm sure she will surpass her average here tonight and that will go up after this game great find michaela fires up the shot who hit one in the first quarter but cannot get the same result there and rebounded by sage stall sage comes in just under five rebounds gravy with the floater short and off the mark and rebounded by pride she's dribbling down the right side of the court crosses over great move and fires up the shot and one carly pride will be at the line four one free throw great crossover to get inside and a strong take and draws a foul on grivy gravy's third foul team seconds here in the second half carly pride for one and nothing but nets gives her seven points and just like that she has five here just in the third quarter as gravity uses the screen set by sage stahl down on the left block is gans jenna goose at the top to gaby dean off the hands of batesville will be olympian basketball a risky pass there but will be olympian basketball so 33 gabrielle elston checks in for the bulldogs number 30 that is sarah ripger checks out gravy fires up the three-point basket in and out the closest one she's had here tonight as stolen by gravie euro step fires up the shots and no good so she'll be at the line for free throws once again she's six for six here tonight all of her points coming off of free throws see if she can keep her hot streak alive here tonight as that is up and good gives her seven looks like catherine robb checks back in for number 44.
let me just move myself out of the way here so this is the total request for the five years that the planning committee is considering it's 37.7 million dollars and you could see that it really is in areas that are basic i'll call them requirements to keep our buildings up and running window replacements are you know roughly a third of that 11 million dollars paving roofing sidewalk and masonry 22 about 8.1 million district cafeteria improvements at this point in time only two of our schools that have cafeterias have been renovated that's about 5.6 million to go hvac improvements 3.2 million other building you know interior improvements it ranges from some additional space improvements at highland at dodd 2.6 million code compliance this is primarily of this 2.4 million 2 million of it is here for the hummiston building this is a new request in the capital budget you know several of our schools the uh fire alarm control systems which are you know fully operational but they're dated and they're not addressable and they're not compliant with you know modern firing fire alarm control systems so that's for three schools 1.7 million dollars we want to continue the district laboratory improvements million dollars replacing flooring and ceiling tiles 800 000 lighting and electrical improvements 680 000 that includes an emergency generator at highland uh which you know certainly something that we could use especially after the the hurricane winds that knocked out power you know to town for a few days and then some improvements at the athletic complex which are relatively small about 350 000 so i know 37 million dollars seems like a very large number because it is but when you look at the needs of the schools and what we're requesting it really is for the basics you know to keep roofs you know and windows and and make some improvements to our cafeterias i would consider these all necessities um and there's no frills in this request and then as i take this down to of the 37.7 million how much is being requested for approval to expend in 2122 it's 2.65 million this is the request it's a little over a million dollars for roofing primarily there's a 750 000 of this million is a roof replacement that we have to do at dodd you know we're chasing leaks at dodd in in portions of the building so we need to remedy that uh window replacements at the high school we want to keep that project moving some hvac improvements at several schools is 350 000 and you can see the rest are smaller dollar amounts again the planning committee is is considering this and they'll ultimately bring a full recommendation to the board but that's the request for 2122 that's being considered in the capital budget if we look just historically the board has been requesting an average of about 22 million dollars per year in its capital budget you could see that in some years it was higher um as high as 28 million dollars and this is the amount that the council has approved so the average request has been 22.4 million the council has approved 18.6 million so the council has approved 83 percent of the five-year plan but that's not approval for the funding the approval for funding happens on an annual basis and so over the same period of time over the last 10 years the board has requested an average of about 2.9 million dollars per year the council has approved expenditures of about 1.8 million dollars per year so the approval rate on the requested one-year expenditures has been about 62 percent and so what this speaks to this is not a complaint about the board or the council by any stretch of the imagination what this speaks to is that between the operating budget which you know we we tend to reduce the the maintenance allocation whenever we have budget reductions so our operating budget is shy i will say um but so is our capital budget so over the years we have more and more improvements that are that are built up and i you know we call those facilities liabilities now we know that this community and is working on a school monetization plan um and and that is the good news and i'll get to that in a minute but we are looking to address this but you know not withstanding that we still have to plan for the capital expenditures as if we didn't have a school modernization plan so you know that's that's really the high level overview of where we are with the capital budget at this point um i did want to note though two numbers here this this number this 000 you know was relatively um low and it was based on a lower request from the board of ed and the amount that was approved for this fiscal year 585 000 requested 375 000 approved those requests were kept low because you know here we were working with the facilities master plan and here we know that a school modernization plan um you know recommendation is imminent so these are two really artificial lows low years so you know we are tending to back up our investments even further the last you know in the last five years i always like to point out and highlight that in the event of a maintenance calamity if we run out of operating budget money there is a building maintenance cnr fund we also call it the emergency fund that fund has a 233 thousand dollar balance the council did approve a replenishment in 2017 of 65 000.
But that fact in conjunction with what we're talking about today, the effects of drugs and alcohol on the adolescent brain is so important to understand because first of all, what we have to hit home is what's special about your brain. And if I were going to give you a really short answer, I would say as a 58-year-old person, everything is special about your brain. And you're able to do so many more things than what I'm capable of doing because of what your brain is made of, how it's functioning anatomically as well as physiologically as well as neurochemically. There's just so much going on there and it's still growing and evolving and pruning and setting down networking and there's just so very much that's going on. And one of the major points of this talk and this entire afternoon is that certain toxins and toxins would be things like drugs, marijuana, alcohol, what's found when we vape, those are toxins which will interfere with the healthy development of your brain.
my assessment of the data and the information at this point in time leads me to conclude that this action is premature i do this with the understanding that many can express positions and present evidence contrary to my position and we may both be correct the best we can do is resolve to continue to confront the current situation regarding covet 19 with a renewed commitment to reinforce and consistently implement all of the mitigation strategies we have organized and put in place to attempt to safeguard the health safety and welfare of our students faculty and staff these strategies may be little consolation to some of our front line professionals and employees we truly understand or i truly understand the concern and trepidation trepidation but resolve to continue to do what i or we can for all who work in and attend our schools again the right answer remains elusive and all of us are anxious to return to a sense of normalcy we are inching our way to that eventuality but the challenge looms ever present and we are left to contend with the best course of action in the face of many conflicting data points and information and our own interpretation of what is best for our students faculty staff district and community perhaps we will find a correct answer very soon dr santa cruz may i chime in on that surely i i would like to say thank you for that i i know you spoke for yourself but you spoke eloquently and you um mirrored exactly how i feel it's been a very very difficult time and as i said i'm you know my greatest concern is that we don't have full vaccinations yet and i know everybody's worked very hard to try to get it but i you know it still is something that makes me worried and i appreciate that you that you said that thank you thank you mr judy if that's ms humphrey i would just like to add i i appreciate that statement i think that every one of everyone on this board has struggled with this decision i mean it's for me it's been a huge struggle to figure out what is the right thing to do for us as a district and our community and what i'm left with is that school boards and superintendents cannot make up for the lack of federal and state leadership policy and action we shouldn't be making these decisions they should have been made higher up but i know that we will each press each member of the board will press to make sure that mitigation strategies are in place we'll ask our community to wear their masks ask our students to be cooperative and wear their masks at school at all times so their teachers will feel better and safer it's a community effort we each have individual responsibility it is a community effort the data that we have now doesn't have to be that way if we each put that effort into following the cdc guidelines we can make those numbers go down but it really is i think um something that needed state action not just school board action thank you ms humphries i make the statement not to create consternation or difficulty simply to express a point of view and we have voted we have put in motion what that vote represents and we will move forward item 6.02 is a monthly budget report dr mccord thank you dr santa cruz governing board members we have miss betts tonight with our monthly budget report and i think she brought along a friend or two to help out with maybe the next report good evening dr santa cruz dr mccord governing board members this is our combined monthly report as well as the first quarter financial report so we're going to start of course with the monthly report reflective of all the activity through december 31st 2020 i wanted to to share that i do have ashley miranda with me tonight to help answer any questions in the event that the board has any so i wanted to to begin there we go i wanted to bring your attention to the revised budget number two pending note that we've had an adopted budget we were required by state statute to revise our budget prior to december 15th so we had the revised budget number one it was really important to be able to make sure that we're updating the board and the staff on how the budget is changing as time goes on this year in particular it's a reminder having that revised budget number two pending that we are funded on current year funding and this year in particular our student counts are fluctuating monthly for certain in addition the revised budget number two pending includes the distance learning adjustment which is about 6.5 million dollars for gilbert public schools that was due to an executive order signed by the governor indicating that all students that are learning in a distance learning model would be funded at 95 percent so as of the 40th day we had to present a percentage of distance learning at the time ours was about 65 but i wanted to point out that that 6.5 million dollar reduction is our worst case scenario because as you move through the year the denominator continues to grow which ends up decreasing that percentage over time so we are expecting that to improve in addition uh looking at the maintenance and operation budget in particular that's about budget capacity but i wanted to draw your attention to the year-to-date expended and cumbered in that particular cell that represents the total utilization of the enrollment stabilization grant as well as the remain the full amount of the cares act one which leaves us with that 13.3 million dollar budget balance available a couple of things the maintenance operations budget is very much impacted by the new federal legislation that has been put into motion so i wanted to remind you about cares act two we do expect to receive as much as nine million dollars more in karezak ii that funding source is extraordinarily flexible so we anticipate that we will be able to reduce that year-to-date expended encumbered number uh by us up to nine million dollars again providing us more opportunity to mitigate any budget reductions going into the 2022 school year okay before i move into the other funds are there any questions about maintenance and operations on any of that so i i just have one question revised budget number one and then revise budget number two we went up by about three million dollars um with that and what do you attribute that to so revised budget number one was reflective of data at the time and we did anticipate the increase in budget balance carry forward associated with the revised afr so we did capture that in revised budget number one but the primary increase associated with the revised budget number two was due to the student count fluctuations so over a couple of months we gained about 900 students for funding purposes quite a fluctuation yeah it was quite a fluctuation that was quite a fluctuation yeah so thank you thank you so the um cares acts you show us those in the grants as well but they're part of our maintenance and operations only because the spend that was in maintenance and operations was eligible to be moved to the federal grant okay so we were allowed to move our journal entry that expense out of maintenance and operations and put it into the federal grants okay so we'll see it again though on one in addition we've highlighted civic center civic center is the fun that we deposit most of our facility rentals so given the environment with the pandemic etc you can see that that though we have an available balance of 1.6 million dollars the revenues received is about 300 000 less than received by first semester a year ago the indirect cost is another fund because of the national school lunch program we do draw indirect costs from the national school lunch program however we're able to charge indirect costs against all of our federal grants so as federal grants increase we have opportunities there as well we don't expect the indirect cost revenue though to be be as high as it was last year but we'll be watching that particular fund as well and then finally i'd like to go back up for a moment to the maintenance operations fund it shows an available balance of 13.3 million dollars but i wanted to make sure that you were aware that of that 13.3 million dollars 10 million has been allocated out to all the departments and schools throughout gilbert public schools so that means that that money is available to be spent so i wanted to make sure that that was clear the same thing with unrestricted capital outlay we are showing an available balance of 8.7 million dollars but um all of that has been allocated out except for about a hundred thousand dollars so that just wanted to make sure that i was painting the right picture for you as we move through the school year so why don't we say that that's encumbered if we've given that to the schools um because it's that budget versus encumbrance so as soon everything is budgeted and available to spend and so when it's spent it gets encumbered for through a purchase order or when it is used for salaries or benefits it's encumbered through the payroll system um so we we are watching and monitoring that spend and making decisions now about whether we should pull that back and remove it from some of the budgets but we have not made that decision at this point in time okay and then just to go along with that what would be some of the things that the schools spend it on either the maintenance operations is it just daily things or is it new expenses because of covet or different things like that so the biggest example might be the cleaning supplies as an example so custodial supplies with toilet paper hand sanitizer having to be replaced hand soap all of that um we we do encumber for utilities we did make a decision to leave the makeup air during the summer months be higher than normal right increasing our utility spend again we're halfway through the year so it's possible that our utility spend will go up reflective of the june 30 spend other items at the schools they do have supplemental pays that they make to teachers and staff that are doing extra duties overtime is considered a budgeted amount that is not ever encumbered because you don't you can't anticipate it necessarily so it hits the spend portion of that as it occurs so those are just some items that would reflect that and then as what about the capital so on the on the capital uh as an example we had planned to go ahead and begin a pilot for our english language adoption this spring so we are discussing as a leadership team about whether we should delay that as an example so those are the kinds of things that we're looking at right now to mitigate any um decrease in our in our budget for next year right sorry but just what what when you said that it's out to the schools the unrestricted capital outlay um so some examples of that so let's see so we made a decision to allocate out monies for lockers as an example for all of our band and orchestra programs at our high school and junior highs so that money has been allocated out and is available at those schools but the money has not yet been encumbered because we haven't totally initiated all the purchase orders yet okay that would be one example okay so this is new instrument lockers these are new instrument lockers yeah which i'm sure they haven't been replacing no they haven't been replaced in a very long time and years and we collected all the data and bar none every single school came back and said that that was that was their most urgent need well those those are expensive interesting instruments that the students are bringing to school we want to keep them safe that's true well and also haven't they tried to use them separately and divide it up and probably we need more than we had in the past that's correct as well so the opportunity was granted to each of our schools in those two budget lines to increase their capacity by an amount already prescribed by the district for use either in their m o or their capital lines that's as they have submitted and approved through the district that's correct this might be a premature question mr batson we might want to wait till we get to the cares act but has there been any discussion about any possibilities of a way that we can um help with sick days um legally and if we can afford it and when i say that i'm talking about what when the cares act originally the ten extra days well first the the cares act is an eligible funding source to to pay for that um and so whether we afford it or whether we can afford it or not is really a decision that would not be mine it would be a priority decision for you as a board but again that's why i wanted to make sure it was clear that we have not even shown the additional cares act money that we are expecting so um and obviously if the federal government adopts the extension of the ffcra we will act accordingly could could we have some discussion about that in the future possibly sure i'm expecting mr mcintosh and i and ms betts have been talking about this for the last couple weeks and we might be able to bring something next week to have a discussion about but looking at the finances we got to make sure that our plan is sound and again if if the federal government comes back and reinstates ff uh cra then we would be in some different shapes so we got to be careful okay go ahead so this is basically the conversation we just had just so you're clear so going into federal grants which is on the next major financial statement slide or financial table slide you can see the the three federal grant funds that are highlighted in yellow and again note that the available balance for the esser that which is the cares act funding i was describing which is that roughly 2.3 million dollars as well as the esg which is that enrollment stabilization grant remember that we received a total of 14.23 million we did use utilize 12 million of it in the 2020 school year leaving the 2.3 million dollars or so for this year and all of that has been spent to date so we will we should be receiving the actual cash reflective of those decisions the reason that we highlighted the other federal projects is because the esg grant was a part of the other federal projects in the last report so we've opted to separate those out so it's very clear where we're spending the money we'll also keep a separate line for sr2 or karzak 2 so that it's very clear where that money is and how we're spending it any questions there so we've already completely spent the additional monies from the cares act that's the first and the esg so when will we find out the exact amount for the cares act ii we should know that i'm i'm expecting to know that for certain by next week possibly by the end of this week but we still have a lot of other unknowns as far as expenses and and actually budget capacity what is your capacity so there's a lot of unknown and a lot of expenses on the table right now as we keep moving forward and continue to look forward to next year as well that's correct which we'll start talking about next month next month yes thank you yep okay um so state grants again i wanted to point out the instructional improvement fund so last year by this time we had received our first payment the instructional improvement fund the source of that is native american gaming revenues so we based our 3.1 million dollar budget capacity on carryover plus revenues received last year we are watching that closely because we do not believe we will see the same amount of revenues this year as we received last year due to the particular decline in in gaming throughout the state of arizona adult ed this was a little bit of a surprise in the current year we did actually receive two separate adult education grants that's the first time that we've seen over a hundred thousand dollars in funding for the adult education grant and those two grants totaled 119 000 but they're very directed ones for english language for adult english language instruction and i think the other one which is on my other slide is just the the adult basic education and then finally results-based funding i'm just sharing that uh to note that last year we received 1.73 million and this year we've been notified that our allocation will be 1.67 million we have not received those revenues at all as soon as we receive them we will allocate out the entire amount we expect early march to all those schools that have earned it any questions just is that just based on last year then or the results based funding is two years in a rear so it's based upon the spring test results so uh going into the 2022 school year we do not really expect to receive results-based funding because there was no testing that occurred in 20 in spring of 2020.
kaiser checks out with 4 30 here in the third quarter and gravy gets her first free throw miss going 7 for 7 until her first miss so seven for eight at the free throw line for gravity jenna goose picks up her second team's third some big news in the east athletics world is gymnastics coach retired i think after 42 seasons she's told her players yesterday that she will be retiring so she's had a great career here at east i know a couple of the gymnastics gymnasts were sad and upset but she's done it all here at columbus east as gravie gets her first points here tonight not coming off a free throw she stole it and took it coast to coast and gives her nine points three here in the third quarter crosses over by granger young and stolen by sage stahl she's all alone on the right block can she get it up no but she will be fouled and she'll be at the line for two carly pride picks up the foul will be her third team's four 341 remaining here in the third quarter looks like we're gonna have a fresh five here after sage shoots her free throws looks like heidi murphy will check in for sage stall after this free throw so we have maylie roberts albany spear leah bachmann and caitlin crothers and will have heidi murphy check in after this free throw for the olympians as sage stahl is up and good sage stall with three points here in the third quarter she takes a seat 53-22 is our score the olympians saying in their man to man look a different look here in the second half great pass looking at a three-point basket but great recovery there by the olympians that was maybe roberts coming out and did a great job closing ranger young kicks it out baseline excuse me long jump shot is off the mark and short by elston maylie roberts who had four first half threes can she do the same here tonight i think that's her second miss three-point basket that's all she's taken here tonight was threes and a great take there by michaela granger young going to her left and draws the foul she'll be at the line for one free throw here leah bachman picks up her third team's fourth that was a fantastic take by the sophomore a strong hard take let's see if she convert the n1 and no good long and rebounded by bachmann albany spear up court to roberts crothers across court to heidi murphy she fires up the three and good heidi murphy for three is melee roberts picks her up makes her turn it over and rebounded by murphy two on two fast break a bad pass there and great hustle there by the bulldogs saved right to the hands of murphy could not get the jump shot to fall and rebounded by the bulldogs and stolen there by the olympians great fine there by albany gets it blocked to great hustle play there by 44 kaiser gets the block and will be a turnover committed by the olympians should be batesville basketball with 152 remaining here in the third quarter the bulldogs are 10 points shy of their season average point scoring wise coming averaging 34 points a game as for the olympians they come in averaging 61 points per game maybe roberts picks up her first team's fifth quite a bit of fouls committed by each team here in the third quarter the olympians fall back to that 2-3 zone look three-point shot is up in and out and off the hands of bachmann will stay down on this end 132 remaining here in the third quarter gets it inside so number 44.
we only utilized about 16 000 in the last several years so you know that balance is there if we need it it does require a formal request based on a board recommendation to the town council but that funding is still available if it's needed and you know when we look at our capital budget you know i think it's always important to highlight that you know you you can look at it as an expenditure but what it really is is an investment and an improvement you know so you'll see these are just some of the pictures that you might have seen in the past you know these are the improvements we made over to doolittle uh i guess three years ago now this is the do little you know kitchen area and calf these are you know bathrooms that do little that's the concession stand in public bathroom building you know even the investment in roofs and removing underground oil storage tanks and replacing them with propane heat in the case of darcy this is the west gym floor that we did several years ago and this is a you know picture of the synthetic turf field down at cheshire high school all these improvements you know they look great you know when i um every time i step on the synthetic turf field i know it's a large investment but boy we've gotten our you know a play time up dramatically with that field and you know these are the types of things that the capital budget supports and it's important that you know we continue to support those types of improvements again the school modernization plan the council did approve you know funding so that we can hire professionals to help us in the development of that plan the school monetization committee consists of 13 individuals you know including three board of ed members who've been working really really hard to develop that plan uh and we do expect recommendations to be coming soon there is a meeting of the school modernization committee tomorrow evening and so that's this just kind of rounds out the maintenance and operations as we've talked we've we've held that relatively flat as a percentage of our budget for the last six or seven years and before we get to that i'll come back and see if there's any questions comments on the maintenance or capital budget um faith looks like you had a question then i think you actually answered it as as you're going through it especially on the five-year plan um as the modernization committee hones in on a comes in on a plan and starts to take shape and knowing which schools are coming in and off are you re-prioritizing your capital projects accordingly but um i think you addressed that if you want to elaborate that yeah no that that's actually a great question it's one of the it's one of the things that um i've been spending time on you know with not so much the modernization committee members yet but with jim jascott so that the next sequence of responsibilities for school monetization is to look at the financing overall so the in the presentation for the planning committee that 37 million dollar plan and the 2.65 million that they're going to be considering on thursday evening that's what we need assuming there is no school monetization plan approved if a plan is approved what will be presented to the school modernization committee uh over the next couple of meetings is this is what the schools need without a modernization plan and these are the reductions to that 37 million dollars assuming we make modernization plan improvements so that number will be reduced by you know approval by the committee for a plan so i'm not sure that i think i answered the question it's nebulous because we can't share the numbers just yet um and in fact what we're doing you know as part of the financial review what the modernization committee is we're not just taking the first five years we're then extending out the next 10 years for capital needs in our schools we're just using some modeling and taking it out a full 15 years and then deducting from what we would have spent if we didn't have a modernization plan based on what is being modernized thanks so that's kind of coming soon tim comment thank you adam yeah with regard to with regard to that long-term costs uh i've said it before say it now i did i absolutely want to see something like net zero schools net zero energy schools incorporated in this uh not that we would have to do it for for me to support it but i think it needs to be part of the discussion with regard to this presentation and also what the school modernization committee has been doing i appreciate it very much i look forward to hearing more from the school modernization committee but at the same time when we talk about the schools being 70 years old on average i'll just look at the high school and say yes you can say that high school was built in 1951 but it was just an l shape it was a much smaller piece it's been addition after edition so yeah our schools generally are old and can be modernized and i like doing that i'd like to do that but at the same time it's i feel like it's a little bit misleading when we say the average age of 70 years when i think it'd be more appropriate to look at the square footage the 760 000 square feet and see what the average age of that is i'm just putting that out there i mean this is we're going to be going out to referendum and i want i want what we do to be uh fully credible with the the why a wide swath of the electorate and i know i hear from people when they say that high school ain't 70 years old because it's just not it's it's it's pieces of it are one piece of it is and other pieces of it are less than that so that's all okay andrew no van you you cleared it up about the five-year plan i was just going to make a point about that but i do think it's important to say that yes the schools are extremely old but i don't want people at home to think that we're not doing investments into the schools as school monetization is going to come because if you add up the capital plan the maintenance and repair so just this year taxpayers are investing 4.7 million dollars into the schools into maintenance and repair of the school building so i don't want it to be that while we wait for school monetization that we're not doing things the schools that's out of money that is going into the school buildings so i just wanted to make sure that that i put that out there if i did my math right i'm looking at it's 2.6 of capital and two just under 2 million 89 000 for maintenance and repairs yeah i mean that's a fair statement you know we're certainly doing the the things that we need to do to keep the schools you know not only running but in good repair but you know we we certainly recognize that we've reached a point in our buildings that you really do need to start doing some you know renovations to really extend you know extend the life and you know that's one of the things that you know we you know to tim's point we've added on to our buildings over the years of high school as well as you know most of our other buildings dodd got you know editions norton got additions um but what we've never done in the history of any of the buildings has gone back and done a a renovate is new you know and what that and i know that's one of the things that's being considered by the committee um but what that does is it really takes a building structure and it cuts it and it basically makes it like a new school it's not new to the bones but you get 20 years of additional life out of that building and in that process you're not only modernizing the classrooms but you're also replacing the furniture and the inside of the building and so that is one of the things that we haven't done in cheshire and we have fallen behind you know our surrounding districts for sure all right thank you welcome um i'm not seeing any other comment um i just a quick question um from from uh for me uh on the uh the one year uh capital plan that's not official and i'm will be considered on thursday um the roofing project that dodd that's seven hundred thousand or seven hundred fifty thousand is that for the entire roof or the part of the roof no that's a that's a a portion of the roof i mean obviously dud's big building so i was gonna say that was a very low that's what i was yeah that's it's it's probably i'm gonna guess about 15 to 20 percent of the roof structure um you know and and what we've been doing at dodd like most of our schools those are rubber membrane roofs in most of our buildings including dodd and usually what happens is you you get failures at the seams and so we've been you know replacing the seams just to keep you know because the roof rubber membrane fields are good if by replacing the seams you get additional life out of the roof but there's portions of the dodd roof that were we're past that and um we just need to replace and we've been trying to keep you know the roofing costs you know not as low as possible but we've been replacing roofs as needed when needed because we are looking at you know making some long-term major improvements to all the buildings so we've been trying to keep things you know running and as leak free as possible by making repairs instead of outright replacements thank you you're welcome um are there any other questions i'm not seeing any uh vin uh looked like you're about to conclude so the wrap up here is um you know so we finished the the first two workshops the next meeting is thursday january 28th and that is the public information meeting board members responses to the superintendent's budget and adoption of a board of education budget if possible um and then following that there is another special board meeting that's been scheduled if needed on february 4th and the last point that we'll make is that you know the board does have to ultimately approve a budget request by february 15th and that concludes the presentation from my end for this evening finn thank you um yeah um i i would just like to say uh for those watching at home and um you know what this has been a year like no other and normally we would have a a little bit of a crowd to on on the thursday night meeting for public comment and so i do um hope that the public will reach out and and ask all the questions that they need to uh before we uh enter into our final deliberations um i haven't i i personally haven't spoken to um chairman peregini about this but i i feel like uh we'll probably need that additional meaning to have extra time to deliberate over this uh uh very special budget this is a this is a budget for me personally uh that i have not seen before uh it's a very unique budget this year and um i think we'll we'll need extra time to deliberate over this one um is there any other comment from the i guess the finance committee no sir okay no all right fantastic um i see uh that there is nothing else on the agenda for this evening um so i would like to entertain a motion to adjourn so moved second then a second okay all in favor it is uh looks like it's unanimous well uh thank you uh vin and robin for your great presentation this evening um again we have a lot to consider and a lot of information to go through so um thanks again for the great presentations thank you and thank you everybody thanks everybody
We can go to the next slide. So your brain continues to grow and to develop, some will say up until 27 years of age. As we discussed, you can learn things incredibly quickly. The reason why you can pick up another language much more quickly than a fully developed adult can is because of this fact. Because your brain is still growing and evolving. There are connections that are being made, neurotransmitters that are firing, nerves that are being laid down. There is this constant rewiring. And when there is something like a toxin that your brain is exposed to, there's an interference, an interruption of these processes. there's an acute event that occurs which means in real time there's a consequence to the use of things like marijuana, alcohol, and other substances. But there's also a long-term effect. And if we were going to talk a little bit about science, the amygdala, a center of your brain that actually controls a fight orflight mechanism that you have when there's danger or fear, that's directly affected by drugs and alcohol.
okay thank you again i've already shared all of that this is just a summary for all of you to review there we go enterprise funds so nutrition services and community school is expected to support their operation through their own revenues nutrition services we do expect their estimated revenues to be decreasing slightly but community school the last time we reported we showed an estimated revenue of 7.5 million dollars we've done some trend analyses and determined that we'd like to bring that estimate down to 5 million dollars so there's a a couple of things that are hitting us here so you can see that their available balance is projected to be a four hundred thousand dollars in speaking with mr ryan and with staff at uh community school they are looking at ways in which they can reduce costs and be more efficient at the same time they do expect that that the we did a straight line projection to get to five million dollars as we go back full in person it's it's very possible that their revenues will continue to increase that could improve that available balance but over the last two years we the school district has gained about um 700 to 750 000 in revenue due to the movement of expense from maintenance and operations in the community school for such things as utilities as an example as they do their operations it increases costs in addition there's wear and tear on the buildings all those kinds of things so with a small balance as that that will eliminate our opportunity to do that going into the 2022 school year so it does have an impact even though it's a different fund it does have an impact on our operational status for our operating funds any questions on that okay nowhere supposed to point that maybe it's you um other district funds again unemployment insurance uh that's staying pretty pretty um stable um we're working really hard to to make sure that all of our employees are are working and are able to continue to have jobs and so that's reflective on our unemployment insurance status and then this is these are our school student based funds so these are areas that the school district has no discretion over so i really wanted to share especially these three that are highlighted auxiliary operations so that is uh revenues associated with field trips and with athletics and all those other um programs that schools have that they charge a fee for extracurricular tax credit are comparable types of activities as the auxiliary operations and then note the gift and no gifts and donations accounts so at this point in time so this is six months into the year the auxiliary revenues are down by 1.2 million dollars that's very significant year-over-year the tax credit is down by 1.1 million dollars and gifts and donations are down 300 thousand dollars so you can see that there are other areas in which the coveted pandemic has impacted our school operations have one question about the tax credits my understanding that the legislature broadened how they could be used a little bit i know some areas that they were not necessarily gilbert public schools but because of how strict the rules were prior it was hard to spend those tax credits are we able to facilitate using those tax credits for the reason they were donated and getting those spent and those are all those um opportunities are at the school but but if you look at the the grid here you can see that the year to date expanded and cumbered is also still pretty low and the available balances are pretty high it's another indicator that our schools are being careful about their spend as well for purposes of being able to have some flexibility in the future well in some of those you know they might be saving that for a big trip and they could be doing that as well that's great or something like that where they have you know it might take multiple years to um you know accumulate the funds to do that so that's correct okay i just i'm just interested to know i think that they tried to help us to do it in a better way so i'm hopeful that that will have an impact well that's why i was going to add to that miss bets if i may dr santa cruz that we haven't done any field trips we haven't gone on any it's true so that's correct don't ask us for money when we're not doing anything so we haven't even been in school so i would expect that this is down but i'd also know that we haven't spent it because we haven't provided our students any of those things and a lot of it's been out of our control many i mean we've not been able to offer many of the things that our students have had in years past as far as competitions as far as any kind of festivals as far as anything like that or nearly like that which is out of our control it's partly coveted but this is not at all a surprise to me and i don't think we should be asking for extra money when we're not even in school so and i i don't think until we can get back to that i don't think that that's going to be i don't think i won't i wouldn't expect us to see any different i guess until we have those things on the table again i and i totally agree the only uh reason for bringing it to your to your attention as a board is just because it's it's so clearly related to the cobit pandemic more so probably than any of our other funds so the other the remaining financial tables are all about our bond funds so you will see some significant changes after you approve tonight's agenda as we uncover those funds for our summer project for our summer projects but i there's nothing really notable on any of these grids um and it's not going for me i don't know where do i point it is it here i don't know where to point it okay here we go there we go so that's the end of the monthly financial report thank you miss betts anything else not we'll move to 6.03 which is 2021 first quarter financial report um thank you again uh so this is we had begun the process of doing a quarterly financial two years ago the idea being to show you from the quarter that we're in in the current year in comparison to the quarter results from a year ago so where the monthly report we focus on month over month changes in the current year the quarterly report is looking at quarter over quarter changes uh in comparison to the prior year this report um is is late we would expect to see something closer to the second quarter report due to the annual financial report having to be revised et cetera we delayed this to to january you will see the second quarter financial report at the end of february so revenues so again this is back back to the end of september and if you compare 19 which is on the left to 20 you can see that there's a very comparable look you can see that local is about six million dollars a year ago at this time locals at local is about nine million we would expect that because we approved the ten percent to fifteen percent override we'd also expect that the state would be slightly higher because this was the last year going into 2021 that the governor provided the 20 by the increase for teacher salaries so all of that is as expected the other thing that's really important here is that that for the first three months of the school year the state of arizona uses our adopted budget to determine these level of revenues so that's really important that's why you're seeing this so favorable in comparison to the first quarter a year ago we would see some substantive changes when we show you the second quarter financial next month so this is just another way to look at it you can see where what we're expected to receive so as an example in 2009 we expected to receive 256 million this year we were expected to receive 277 million only receiving 25 million and 30 million dollars respectively the biggest reason for that of course is the continued delay in the state rollover so the state rollover impacting gilbert public schools we receive over 30 million dollars in july of 2021 for this current year so that's the biggest reason for that on the revenue side and this shows the revenue by um by fund and the changes that that are reflected here are mostly due to timing though you can see that the m o was at 22 million a year ago in comparison to 28 million in the current year for the first quarter so anything notable or any questions about any of that okay great so classroom site fun again that was a timing issue and then capital again due to the timing of the payment but we do expect an increase overall in capital due to the fact that unlike the m o budget for the current year capital is set because the capital fund is based upon prior year student counts so i wanted to make sure that that was clear so expenditures expenditures are really telling the same story pretty much we would expect that salaries would be about salaries and benefits again they're 87 89 in comparison 2019 over 2020.
