Uh, when it's an all hands approach, I think that's the best way to go. So, we very much appreciate and on behalf of the community school steering committee that you listened to our recommendation and agreed to fund those positions for two years. So, very much appreciate that. Um, I think our community schools approach here in Anaheim does really reflect uh that pillar of collaborative leadership. These positions are co-created and co-ined and we look forward to having uh 10 new people in their positions for next school year. Uh we'll be hosting our next community schools learning lab up in uh or on 24th or 25th of no uh February. Um just a little bit of a highlight, 23 teachers from LA USD are going to come and spend two days with us to learn how we do instruction here in Anaheim Union. Uh specifically around whole child instruction and community based learning.
But what this allows is a donor can say given certain conditions, we would like to provide this gift to whatever subset of students. So do you make it easier? >> Think of a problem. Have you have you encountered any problem with this contractable law that's already there? >> I mean, I think that's a great question for foundations quite frankly. Um, you know, we don't we as an association don't administer the gifts directly. So, it's hard to say, you know, at the individual school level or at a foundational level if they've encountered. >> Okay. >> Um, >> so is there any school here that can answer this question? Any private school, please? Good morning. My name is David Gaudy, the head of St. Mark Lutheran School in Conoi. My answer to that would be that as a recipient of a lot of these scholarships, sometimes the contractual language can be a hindrance to the facilitation of receiving these scholarship.
Okay. Um, human resources sent out a request of of intent notice to all of our employees. Actually, I think she sent it on Monday and they were supposed to be back uh they're supposed to be back by tomorrow. And of course, most of our people aren't working tomorrow, so they were coming in by yesterday. What this is is a letter that says, "Hey, what are you planning to do for next year? Are you planning on coming back? Are you planning on uh retiring? Are you planning on uh looking for a job someplace else? do you already have a job someplace else? So that we can start building our list of anticipating what employees uh we can count on being here for next year. Um and so we we're gathering that information. Uh I also start calculating okay what is it you know what are salaries and benefits going to cost us with the same number of employees with fewer employees or with more if we need more employees.
So we have two teams. one with 80 students divided into nine sections and the other team has 87 students divided into eight groups. Um this allows us to meet 167 students at their level which has been super beneficial. There's a lot of benefits to it. The biggest one is it allows us uh to meet the high need for interventions by managing our resources efficiently and then strengthening our tier one instruction while we're doing that. So I will let Mrs. Volva and Mrs. Mitchell. >> We'll start with Mrs. Mitchell. Yeah, Mrs. Mitchell, we'd love you to come on up and just talk about what you love about our phonics rotation. >> Okay. Um I'm Aubrey Mitchell. Um was field not Mitchell. Uh last year I was part of our win time, so that was our like extra phonics time. I really enjoyed doing that. Um, it was nice to get to see different kids and see where they were at and help them where they were at.
Any discussion? All those in favor? 70. Next, we'll move down under property a performance service contract for JCS. >> Yes. SMS and board to approve the contract with performance services to do a pool upgrade. Uh this project was brought up, it's been brought up multiple times. Uh when we got the fall the bond in the fall 24 also during the work session, it was one of the top three items that that bond would be uh one of the purposes of getting that bond. work is going to be about $399,000 and it's basically replacing everything in the guts of the pool. Like the concrete pool is fine, but everything that runs it, it's original to when it was opened in the 80s, late 80s, early 90s, somewhere in there, and it's just wore out. So, that's what I'm asking approval for. >> We entertain a motion to approve.
My bad. >> Oh, >> baby park then cheese land then uh wild woods or something. >> Yeah. >> And then to Animal Crossing, which is a completely different game, but we love it. >> I think someone >> chose Baby Park again. >> Yeah. I think they really like Baby Park. >> Mhm. >> Imagine if you can counter pick maps from Mario [laughter] Party. >> They can still hear you. >> Oh >> yeah. You have a lot of spit in your mouth. I was just eating flaming young and chicken and rice. >> Yeah. >> So >> that's why we don't recommend eating before streams. >> I thought I had a little more time. >> Really should have thought better. >> Oh, she's being r mean to you. >> I know she is. She's being so mean. It's cuz I'm experienced. You aren't. >> That's not an AO.
That's >> and and those two houses when even though that's not what this is about with those two houses when created >> parcels A and B yes >> they don't need to comply with the 1850 with the threebedroom 1850 they're more or less regular lots though of course adhering to the setbacks and other regulations of the current zoning. >> That's exactly right. But even with that, uh, you know, it's it's it's fairly well, it's not tight. You could see the dimensions there. However, even with that, we're proposing 2500 square ft houses. So, we're still uh it's not like we're going to do these 1,850T houses on the other lots and put these McMansions on these ANR lots. No, they're all going to be fairly consistent because at the end of the day that 1,850 square foot again, they were very careful in the statute to tell you heated livable space.
Um and so I think that just speaks to what we're able to accomplish together in promoting the work that we do here. And lastly, I want to finish up on a Prop 55 update. Hopefully, you've heard about Proposition 55, the renewal of it. Um, if it does not pass, and we're working hard to qualify it for the ballot, it would mean about a $15 billion in cuts across California, $50 million here in Anaheim Union, potentially jeopardizing one in six employees of public schools. Um, so it makes sense for all of us to be part of that effort. Uh, I want to give a quick shout out to our friends at CSEA who have been joining ASA in collecting signatures of our members in order to qualify for for the ballot. Um, I do have petitions here. If you have not, if you're a registered voter, whether you live in Orange County or LA County or Riverside County, it doesn't matter, and you'd like to sign the petition to help us in joining the community and getting this qualified for the ballot so that we can continue to fund our schools to the level that our students and our community deserve.
>> Understand? But have you had a problem? >> Well, we've had a number of problems. You know, >> it's going to solve >> this would streamline it and make it a lot easier. >> Okay. But question is, have you had any problems that this that need called for this bill? Because nobody's brought this up before. >> I'm saying yes. It would solve the problem of spending weeks, months, or more trying to negotiate language in a contract. So, yes, it would help us. >> Thank you. >> Members, any other questions? >> Yes. I'm sorry. >> Hang on. Um, go ahead. I guess you you as well as um the commandment of schools, you come on up again. >> It it seems to me to follow up with Senator um Kim's line of questioning that this bill, if we pass it, will bypass any contractual obligations you folks may have.
Um, and then collecting information about insurance costs uh and fixed cost estimates. So, I'll give you an example. Um, I contacted uh Chuck Nelson at Asbait to see what might be happening with our uh health insurance and uh actually the uh the Asbait folks are meeting this week um with and I think maybe early next week uh to determine what they plan for uh for the you know to charge the membership if you will the clients for uh for next year. Um, so there's not a hard and fast thing yet, but he told me that he thought our numbers were going to look really good. That was refreshing. I got an email this week from the trust and uh general liability is going up 10%. Yeah. Uh, and the other areas from the trust and the alliance are going up um between one and a half and 5%.
Um, especially because every classroom is different and we have a bunch of different kids with a bunch of different needs. Um, so I really loved doing last year and I was really excited to be able to go to Howard this year um with Mrs. and Adam and Jackie. And they were basically doing the same thing just on a bigger scale. And so I was really excited that we were going to get to be able to do that at Hose. Um it went really smoothly and it's again really nice to see other kids and make those connections and I feel like it's a lot more efficient to be able to have these children in my classroom and they're all [clears throat] at a similar level instead of trying to teach kids that are at a level 11 to kids that are at a level like 70.
>> So, moved. >> Motion by Pat. Do I have a second? Second by Cheryl. Any discussion? All those in favor? 70. Um, next we have safety upgrades. >> Yes. This this has to do with the bond that was issued in 2024. Also >> no, this is this is for no 25 is brush. So this will be 2024. This was the number one priority of the 2024 bond. This is the safety upgrade to all locations. And well, I just want to give you a quick timeline of what's going on. This is where we we you guys approved the use of Garmin Miller. And this is what's going to happen between now and this summer. So, the design documents will be completed next week. From there, we'll get a bid draft um bid notice draft. You guys have that by the next by the next meet the first meeting in March.
It's an AO for you for only liking someone because of rivals. >> No, he's a chill guy. >> Uhhuh. >> Huh? >> He's a chill guy. >> I was talking about the girl you were talking to. >> Yeah. >> Oh, no. >> So, >> Asher is just getting hit left and right. Poor dude. >> Sebastian's holding second, though. And Emtt's up in first. >> There we go. EMTT's back. Wonder what happened. >> Whatever song he's listening to. >> Mhm. Do you know what you started? I just can't get up. >> Okay, choir kids. Enough singing. >> Okay. [laughter] If anything, we need to get like a Mario Kart soundtrack to play in the background. Like find the sounds from every map and then play them in succession of each cup. >> They probably have. >> Oh, Asher's bulleting. >> Oh, >> got in. I got to fourth, >> which I think we are top four.
So, the footprint of those houses will probably be about 2,2300 square ft at the end of the day when you add a garage and and that type of thing. >> Yeah.
So, I thank you and I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, >> Jeff. One question. >> Be right in the back. >> What what what site will the um the community school do you said the 24th and 25th you're hosting again? >> So, we're going to be it's here at the district office um on day one and then at the office on day two the specific sites they are visiting I don't know >> Dr. Free Dale and Magnolia >> Dale Junior High and Magnolia >> Danburg Elementary >> yes elementary is now going to be a part uh so their elementary school will be visited. >> Okay. Thank you. >> We've had a high demand for uh visiting elementary schools, so we partner with Centrellia. Yeah. Thank you for the update. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> We don't have uh APGA co-president Lacy Munger.
So, for example, I don't think Kamells is going to do this. If there was um like Ben off or some billionaire who's going to give Kamehameh schools $10 million but with the condition that they accept non Hawaiian students. Wouldn't this bill then allow you to accept that money but not follow through with the condition that you folks accept non- Hawaiian students? I mean, same thing with the with with um with the private schools. If Beni off comes in says I want to give $10 million and but you have to accept students who are in families are in Alice families of under 150% living in who are homeless. Wouldn't this bill then mean that you folks will be able to accept that money but then allow you folks to be able to do with whatever you want to do with the monies cuz then there won't be a contract.
Um, so when I build the budget, I will be conservative, which means I will estimate the overall growth in that expense at 10%. Yeah. In other words, the one that's the maximum for us right now, that's about 470 thou about $47,000 because we spend about 47,000 I mean 470,000 this year on liability, property insurance, uh workers comp, all of those things. So I already know that that line in the budget now needs to be 10% higher than the than the number this year. So those are the kinds of data. Those are two examples that I start building in right now. Okay. Um we start looking at expenses. Oh my second example to you was uh if you are live in Bullhead City, you got a notice from Bullhead City that water and sewer rates are going up uh for next year. So I know I have to build that in, you know, those anticipated um increases.
So, it's been really nice and I really hope that we can continue to do that. >> Miss, >> it's been a while since I wrote that, so I'm not even going to look at it. I'm just going to tell you all that my favorite part about teaching first grade is teaching reading. Um, I love to read. I love to share my love of reading with my students and it is the best part of the day for me, the best time of the day. Um, it was to the point though that phonics was not my favorite time of day. Um, with all the different levels in my classroom, no matter how hard I tried standing on my head, doing cartwheels, whatever to get their attention, um, it it wasn't successful. I had kids rolling on the floor. Um, they were doing cartwheels. I mean, it would be like trying to teach me Chinese, you know, there was just no interest there.
Then the bid will go to the paper on March 20th. The construction documents will be complete on March 26th. It'll the first notice in the paper will be published on uh 3:27. We'll have a pre-bid meeting on 41. Then we will have the second bid notice will be published on 43. Then the bid opening will happen on 4:16. Recommendation to award will happen on 420. And then I'll bring it back to you guys for approval on the 423 board meeting pending legal approval. And then the following week, we'll we'll make sure the contracts right. We'll be signing the contract the week after the meeting. >> This is the portion for the secure entries at all of the buildings. And um we will work we're still hoping for the timeline to be this summer. Um but we will work to make sure that either it can meet that timeline or if we need to break it into half and half over two summers that we can so it's not disruptive to during the school year.
>> Yeah, >> top three. Within top four, >> but not all of us are there. So >> yeah, >> we got first, second, fourth. >> What is that spin move he does after he goes off a ramp? >> A trick? >> Yeah, it's a trick. >> You get a speed boost if you land it. >> Mhm. >> Okay. Thank you, Carter. >> Yeah, I usually spam it whenever I like go off a ramp. >> Well, I would assume you're meant to do. >> Asher's uh cart kind of reminds me of Blue even though it's a bear. >> It's like the exact same color scheme. Okay, so we're at 83 and they're like in their 20s or 30s for points. >> Animal Crossing. >> Oh, >> is everyone going to choose it? >> There's going to be Baby Park and Cheese Land. >> No, >> man.
