So a really great day to be able to focus on uh the current state of where our kids are and the opportunities to be able to keep building the board or staff jobs.
>> Board member Greer. >> Yeah, I mean I echo all of those thoughts. Just congratulations. We we see you. It's an honor to honor you um and to celebrate you and and all that you continue to do to make us shine and so thank you for all of it and congrats. >> Board member Ariana, >> congratulations. I I I can't say any more than what my colleagues have said, but it does take time and I know as an athlete it takes time and discipline. So discipline is what you guys have. Congratulations. >> And I just want to say that um first of all, this is, you know, the second time we see the coach up here, so obviously you're doing a great job. And ladies, there's nothing to be shy about. You know, if anything, you should be shining out there and representing the district, which you are.
And and I love the symbolism that. So, thank you elementary school for doing that. And the last thing I just want to um commend Dr. Johnson and his staff at the junior high school because they're identifying some gaps with our kids. Um and a lot of times the research shows if you have gaps in junior high, they go way back several years and they're they're taking data, they're looking at it with the with the teaching staff and they're providing interventions. And Dr. Johnson said, you know, he's he's shared some anecdotes that some of the kids that have been a little bit disenfranchised with learning are coming in and excited to learn about math and their intervention time because they're being taught at a level where they can be successful. So, we want to thank you for that and uh lots of good things happening in Blige.
And this is a nice grid that Randy did here. Um, and on the left hand side is the type of override and we broke it down for you as a percent of your revenue control limit. 15%. If you want to go to the max, you could generate 1,875,000 in additional revenue for your maintenance and operation budget. Okay. Randy has calculated that at $450 on a home of of $100,000. Okay. So, that $200,000 home we talked about, it would be $9 a month rounded numbers if you want to go the full 15%. And we can talk about that here in a moment. So, go back over to the left. If you did a 10% override, your tax rate will drop from 54 cents to 36 cents and you get a million250 for your budget. So that's about $600,000 difference. If you wanted a a skinnier 5% at 625, your tax rate drops all the way down to 18 cents.
No, >> no, this won't this won't update until this time next year. >> This sits out there even though the auditor has corrected these numbers. >> Yes. >> Does what they're doing is they're comparing your previously audited statements versus what's on your annual financial report because they don't have audited statements for this year to compare them to. They should just do it. >> This is worthless. >> All this what this does is it takes boards like yourselves and causes fear. >> Yes. >> So, how do you move from high-risisk to managed risk? >> Um, drop categories off of this. So right now out of the out of the 10 um metrics we are high risk in what six of them >> three four five >> do we have to do like mitigation steps root cause analysis? What do we have to do to make sure that we're at moderate risk instead of high risk as a district?
Moving into high school mathematics, this slide highlights that high school math has grown from the middle of the year to the beginning of the year to the middle of the year. So, this is similar to what I showed for the eighth graders taking algebra 1. You'll have a line for um each of the 9th, 10th, and 11th grade, beginning of the year to middle of the year. And these are all students at the grade level and course that they're in for that cohort. Um again, at the nth grade, you could have students in a variety of different math classes. So, the nice part with this diagnostic tool is it takes your entire 9th grade cohort and it's showing you if they're on grade level, um above grade level, or um struggling with those skills. >> So, This takes special education honors everybody sorry is on that chart.
We recently just relocated from Seattle, Washington in August, and I absolutely love it here. I'm never leaving. [applause] >> Thank you. >> All right. Next, we have our volunteer points of pride, Miss Andrea Klitsky. >> [screaming] [clears throat] >> Andrea is our PTO president and she is an exceptional PTO president whose leadership has made a remarkable impact on our school community. She's personable, professional, and consistently prepared. She leads efficient and purposeful meetings that keep our organization focused and productive. She has cultivated strong partnerships with local businesses, bringing valuable resources and support to our campus for the benefit of both students and staff. She actively engages in fellow HUSD with fellow HUSD PTOs, sharing best practices and leading by example of our district motto, together we got this. So, Mrs. Klitsky, you have elevated our PTO and enriched our experience for every student and staff that you serve and you are truly deserving of this recognition.
>> I really hate that term. >> When will we know >> whenever they sign whenever the legislative legislative session ends? Probably June 30th at 11 p.m. >> Well, when they when the when the state approves their budget which hopefully will be on time. Uh, one other um I guess just confirmation. Uh, the employee health benefit cost that we're going to cover is just for their medical and it's just for the employee. Correct. >> Um, it's a combination of um medical and farm and pharmacy, right? >> Um, it is the employee portion of our of our comp of our benefit plans. No. Well, it's a very wonderful thing that we do with that. So, any other questions? >> The um estimation for the innovative innovative academy, is that based on students moving from existing schools to the academy or is that um taking into account potential students that we think that we may gain with people moving and and all of that?
Uh public hearings must be held as I previously stated on a previous slide and then we would go ahead and we would approve the resolution to sell the additional bonds and then we would proceed to bond sale. Um, in order to take advantage of this and keep the bond interest uh at its current amount, we would have to conclude the sale within calendar year of 2026, which is also levy year 2026. Um, that concludes the presentation and I'm open for questions and can go review any slides uh that you may have questions about. On the last previous slide, you put contingency. You seem some people may think that's a lot but if we don't spend it just explain what happens to it. >> Yes. If we don't spend it um and bill that goes back to the previous slide saying most funds need to be used within 3 years.
Sh and I look back and see him, he was he was researching one that I talked to you guys about last month with some technology initiatives um you know as we continue to have to raise um you know teacher uh salaries and we absolutely want to do that but but all these things again they all play a part and so um you know Mrs. Boon and I um have been continuing to look at you know ways to reduce expenses um for the district and and so we will have to be making some hard decisions. Um everybody likes more Um, everybody I've never met a person that didn't like more. Unless you unless you've just ate too much and then, you know, somebody offers you dessert and maybe you're like, "Okay, maybe maybe maybe I'm done." But, um, you know, I if I ask my kids if they want more of something, I I don't think they've ever told me no.
But you will never hear me as the leader of this district speak inappropriately or using appropriate language like that. And I would never expect anyone else to be doing that in our district as well too. And you would never hear from anyone here until the right of me. And if they did, then you need to have a conversation with me and I'll be having a conversation with them. It completely appropriate. These are only a few examples and truly are. There are only a few examples, but they've brought this to my attention, and I want to make sure that not only is my job to make sure that our students are being safe, but also our staff, they're being safe. I've also had the same conversation with the union. I know the union has brought it to your attention as well, too. They're concerned. They want to make sure that they're going to be kept safe and that conversations aren't going to be escalating and and they're concerned and they know I'm having this conversation with them as well, too.
>> Any questions from Miss Martel? >> Can I get a motion to approve that budget transfer? >> Motion to accept. >> Any discussion? Michelle, please. >> Mr. Mercedes. Yes, >> Mr. Tox. >> Miss Ferris. >> Yes, >> Mr. Jones. >> Yes, >> Mr. Mahia. >> Yes, >> Mr. >> Yes. Donations, we have none. Articles, we have none. Public participation, I don't see any. All right, Lewis, we have a report from the IT department. Would you introduce yourself for everybody, please? >> Hello everyone. Um, I'm Louis Galagani. I'm a network server administrator uh that works in the IT department. Um, I'm very excited to share some updates regarding the IT department over the past year. Excuse me.
Any questions for me? >> That was very good job. >> Thank you. Any questions for the assistant? No. Okay, everybody's winding up for Dr. Gman's presentation. >> Yes, I have all four schools tonight. As Jonathan cannot attend, so I'm going to try to keep it brief. As Dr. Gman had already alluded to, we had the Prisms concert on 31st January. That was fantastic. Um, just on February 6th, there was the Super Bowl collection, which is a can of food fundraiser and non-p perishable food fundraiser that the Leo Club puts signs is fantastic, very successful. Just uh also on the this past Friday the 6th um the high school and middle school jazz bands went to Yukon and performed there in a festival where they all go perform get uh private clinics from the Yukon jazz professors and then get a chance to watch we watched the Yukon jazz combo this year was very entertaining and very educational.
And u make it make it a point, right? That's what you do when you're out on the field. you're really working hard at it to make it um to make it known that Isuza that you're there to fight for Isuza. So, thank you for all your hard work. Congratulations again. And we have pictures to take in the front with you. So to we now move on to recognizing the volleyball team for Isuza High School. >> Thank you. Um AS girls volleyball had a dominant performance in Mont View League going undefeated in league this year which you guys already know if you were here. the girls really came together as a team. Um they found regularly they found ways to be able to communicate to play as one um and to really demonstrate their teamwork. And through that uh we actually were granted three uh nominees for our uh first team.
So, that's how I'll end. Anybody have any questions or comments? Thank you. Thank you for that update. It's always positive to my overall psyche to get good information. Hear a lot of bad information. We hear good information is great.
So, um, staff can share with you kind of what their thoughts are and then obviously what are you going to use the money for, um, as part of your proposal and voters have to obviously feel good about where the Money is going. And I think from what I understand, you probably have a pretty good idea where that money needs to go uh, to to continue the great things here at your at your district. Okay. So Mark, >> do you want me to jump in and just give a quick synopsis? >> So bond, we're talking about facilities and the big ticket items. Our override the few things just a quick synopsis on this as our M budget is going is is getting tight every year. And I I want to thank our administrators and teachers because they've done a really good job just rolling up their sleeves and being creative with funding this year and working hard.
>> So there there's a couple of things that we could do. Um, and let me let me go through these three because it might actually answer your question as I go through those. If not, we can come back to them. So, general fund change and balance. Here's the data again showing the cash on hand within the general fund. So, this is within ML. So the 24 audited statement showing 93,000 25 showing a negative 1.3 again comes back to that $2 million move and into capital. So if we're able to get that fixed with the county this this category would go away. The next one is general fund operating margin. Again going back to the figures of the revenues and the expenditures. So it's saying that we operated it at a negative or the 40 35%. Based on the fact that not all the revenue has been reported yet there are no audited statements showing how much revenue was actually received.
>> That is correct. >> Okay. Thank you. Even even if it's a different like math class. >> Correct. And um I will share that the consistency across these grade levels again suggest that both the instruction and intervention supports that came with the math curriculum uh that we were able to begin implementing last year are very quickly showing uh to be successful. and um we're looking forward to seeing those trends continue to move in that direction. >> Okay. Thank you. >> You're welcome. So, at the middle of the year, the high school, everything else that we've shared tonight is truly middle of the year. Uh I think of a race. We're not done. They the teachers get all this information and it outlines very clearly what's next. And it's all diagnostic and they get to continue to work and shift instruction and do everything that they can until the end of the year.
Congratulations. >> Thank you. [applause] >> And who did you bring with you this evening? >> I brought my husband and a few of my kids >> in the back. All right. Awesome. >> All right. And last but certainly not least, uh our student points of pride is Mr. Braden Batista. [applause] Braden is an outstanding sixth grade leader whose actions, character, and commitment to our school community makes him truly deserving of this recognition. As a dedicated member of our student lighthouse team, he plays an integral role in planning and leading schoolwide activities, including our super shark assemblies, Veterans Day breakfast, and leadership day. His presence bring confidence, organization, and a sense of fun to every event he supports. He is consistently responsible, polite, and respectful, demonstrating leadership, not only when others are watching, but also in the quiet moments when he believed no one notices. His positive choices in integrity set a powerful example for his peers.
So we we did work with our demographer and they this was after well kind of during our boundary um our boundary work. So that school has a boundary so we can project what students will live there and we'll will be um driven to that school based on the boundary. So some of these positions are just general growth that we're going to see throughout the district. But a lot of the positions are mandatory positions. you know, we have to have we have to staff those offices and the custodians. And the facilities and grounds positions are also related to adding another school. We need additional um maintenance workers and grounds workers because they're that formula is based on square footage and acres. So um and some of our student or ESS positions are also related to opening a new school as well as some growth. >> But opening a new school that first year is it's very expensive to kind of get that that school started.
