So the circuit breaker >> is already accounted for. You can't do anything about that. That goes to special education, right? Building rentals for building, school, bus, for transportation. Um, we should be thinking about along the lines of expending >> whatever we bring in for revenue, >> we should be able to expend for expenses. That's the that should be really a really good accounting practice, right? We're not over. You'll see over the next couple scenarios we start expending way more than than we currently are than we're bringing in. >> Yeah. It just may be helpful to bring like to have an while you're talking about it here also talk about some of what those expense just to give like again those real life examples people connect to it. So what you'll see is again there's an opportunity for us to maintain a level of of of security and flexibility with our revolving accounts.
What is your success rate as grant application? H public schools has a high rate of success when applying for grants. Question 11. Can you expand on how we would go from 552,000 for 5 FTE to 258 for 38 FT and still provide the same quality of learning services to our students, staff and parents? Please provide an example how this works. This is a great question. Our ability to reduce 552,000 for five point FTE to 258.3 point FTE while maintaining a high quality learning learning services is based on enrollment shifts, strategic restructuring and plan efficiency already built into last year's forecast budget. I predicted all our staffing uh reductions last year at this time. Enrollment at grade four is declining enough that will move from six sections to five sections. Even with this reduction, all classes remain within our class size guideline. Student learning will not be impacted, but the team model at grade four will need to be adjusted to reflect the small cohort.
>> I turn it over to you guys if you guys have any questions for me. Mr. >> I do have a question on uh school number eight. Any updates on that? >> So school number eight uh we're working with inline. >> That's where the most issues were. >> Correct. Correct. We're working with inline uh looking for the unvent uh replacements. So you have a school that's 100 years old as you guys all know and you're well aware of. Um the unventilators are basically at their end of life. You have two boiler systems. Um as you guys all know originally was cold and was switched over to oil. then is running on gas, then is running on gas currently. Um, we're looking to move you guys up as the boilers that you have in here. You have benchmarks, you have lock and bar next door, uh, to bring them up to more efficiency, which will obviously show on the PSEG bills on your guys' terms and, uh, the amount of burn rate.
the Friday prior. So by Friday at the end of the school day, the kids should know whether they can play the next week. And it [snorts] says kids are not to be allowed to scramble the week of game so that they can play. Paper forms or Google sheets are both options. Oh, good. That's what I'm doing. Yay, me. So that is indicating that you would check every Friday by 4:00. Yeah. And that's like just like real talk, that's like not happening. Which it was impossible for me, too. A kid's absent, I'm like, "Oh, fine, I'll take it this Monday." Uh you know, um but I think if like if I don't know who I don't know who I'm asking for permission, but if this could be like based on their most recent progress report, and we can determine the span between progress reports, and we take out weekly in the um PowerPoint, like that I I mean, that ultimately meets kind of what my thought was for everybody.
Thank you. This slide shows our students math proficiency on essential standards assessed in January using our Navi um assessment compared to the district average. Santa Rosa outperformed the district in five of the six standards, demonstrating strong growth across grade levels in January's assessment. January's assessment represents each grade level's focus on one essential standard, showing the progression of skills from grade to grade. Kindergarten showed fluency of adding and subtracting within five. In first grade, students compare two-digit numbers. Second grade, students added multiple twodigit numbers. Third grade students added and subtracted fluently within 1,00. In fourth grade, students were assessed adding and subtracting fractions. And in fifth grade, students solve addition and subtraction fraction word problems with unlike denominators. Together, these results reflect a strong understanding of essential math standards. These outcomes highlight the positive impact of number talks aligned with strong tier one instruction. While fourth grade remains an area of focus, targeted supports are in place.
Individual and team photos for the esports program have been provided by Frederick's Photography. With over 35 years of experience, these guys know what they're doing. Yeah, >> I'd say so. >> Oh, yeah. Frederick's provides studio and outdoor photography on location options as well as professional retouching. If you, your family, or your team or your grandma needs professional photos taken, check out frederick's photos.com. That's frederick-photo.com. Alrighty. And it seems, and I might actually have to call them up cuz I got a brand new t-shirt and I I kind of want to show it off in a really professional way. >> Yeah, that might be a good idea. And it it probably will be a good idea. I mean, with over 35 years of experience, it's a no-brainer to me. >> Yeah. >> I wish like they know what they're doing. >> I wish I had that much experience uh playing playing Smash Bros.
>> Are you going to start seeing a huge jump in price? Because my IT guy told me today by just kind of like you said, buy now. >> Yeah. Well, I've not seen it. I've talked to some vendors and there's like this is probably worse than COVID years when it came to buying devices and shortages and all that. Um they said they used to be able to hold that price for 30 days and now they can barely do like 14 to 15 days to hold that price in. Um we just got very fortunate that this company had a lot of those devices already in their channel and kind of secured for us. Um so we could jump on that. But if we waited till March, I would think at least maybe a $50 to $100 increase. when I was reaching out to other companies like CDW, they're like that price, I would jump on that if I were you.
>> Um in this scenario >> only in this scenario by the way >> and I know you're you're you're kind of working working out how you visually represent this. >> Um the arrows seem like they should mean something. >> Yeah. Uh the ones that you have some that go straight across because they look like they're level and then you have ones that go down even going when the fun the balance went up. >> Yeah, it went up a little bit. Yeah, I got you. So I I' I'd either either keep them straight because I think that that's going to mean something to somebody and fair. >> No, I Yeah, it's great. Again, trying something new. >> This is a risk. Great teacher. I think I think the other thing Jim is there's a way to create some kind of demarcation on this of like the only one you really have flexibility and purpose is school choice like the rest are kind of earmarked for purpose would be a helpful >> y >> to inform people because if I'm someone if I wasn't here I had no idea what circuit breaker was before I joined school committee so >> yeah I listen these are conversations that they're hour long two-hour long conversations member to sit and and really let them know.
The 1.2 FT reduction at the high school is still being finalized. Overall enrollment is trending downward at the high school. So we can absorb these reductions through national natural shifts such as not replacing retirements, consolidating low enrollment elective sections, and rebal rebalancing teaching assignments. These adjustments allow us to maintain full program offerings without increasing class sizes beyond the accepted ranges. Question 12. Are we on target to be below the state average for PPE per 2526 per per pupil expenditure PV figures are finalized by the state after its year end financial review because that review is typically completed in January. We will not know whether we are above or below the state average for 2526 until that process is finished. I'm going to ask Mr. Bishop to take question number 13. Can you please provide the graph you did for PPE versus AI DPI at the state level for our demographic reference group as well?
Uh, univ, you have chillers on the roof. We've done extensive work on the chillers on the roof. Um and then moving forward with that, we should hopefully by your next meeting have put together uh you know an extensive report in reflection to the economics of it. Um I would be remiss to give you guys any update as far as the numbers go, but once we get to that you guys will it'll all be brought to you and then you guys can decide moving forward there what the best approach would be economically moving forward. But it is definitely time to look at that, you know, with a replacement mentality. Thank you very much. No problem. >> How is the heat there right now? >> Uh so currently at eight um I think there's maybe as of our last report maybe one or two units. Uh one or two classes in the basement and one on the first floor.
So would that mean that like a kid could be failing for 4 weeks and still be able to play? So at Monta Vista, no. That would mean that you are failing, and so for the next 4 weeks until your next progress report, these are going to be the things we expect. So you're going to you're going to be turning in your assignments, and we're going to know, "Oh, you didn't turn in your assignments, then you can't play." Like it would be You're right, it would be more work, but I think it's more worthwhile than what we currently have in place, so. >> [clears throat] >> Or it might be like, "Okay, like you need to like get at X fluency when I was the co- I was never a coach. No. When I was a middle school teacher, um [clears throat] we would have like, "Okay, for your like um they'd be on behavior contracts.
Overall, the data confirms our instructional approach is driving student growth and achievement. As we move forward, our next steps focus on strengthening number talks and expanding to math talks to improve student problem solving skills. Number talks build fluency and focus on mental math, while math talks focus on problem solving, conceptual understanding, and making sense of word problems. Both number talks and math talks build understanding through discussion, reasoning on and students ability to use multiple strategies to solve problems. Together they strengthen students mathematical thinking, communication, and confidence. Our ultimate goal is for every student to have two go-to math strategies and one backup strategy to solve any math problem. Teachers regularly analyze Navi data and we are expanding student data tracking to build ownership. For example, a fourth grade teacher developed a tracker developed a tracker that helps students monitor their prog progress. Third grade has already adop um adopted a similar system.
That'd be so freaking cool. >> Yeah, I would. >> Oh, yeah. >> We got some strategy talk over here. >> Yeah. >> Then in the background, we got Jaden. >> Yeah, we got Jaden and Coach JO observing Jaden. >> That is Coach J. That is coach Reinhardt. >> Yep. Yeah. Both of the coaches are right back there. >> A K Rule. >> Looks like they selected a King K Rule. >> All right. No stocks need to be taken by jumping off the ledge. And King K Rule starting off with a freaking belly bash. All right. Mario knocking back the cape and trying to reflect it again, but no dice. Dang. King Rules hit like four dash attacks already. That is crazy. >> Grab in that fight. >> Yep. And the up sm and the up special. That is awesome. And another up special knocking him up.
So, you hear that from the vendors. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, prices of these devices versus what we when we first went one to one. >> Yeah. We used to be right around $500 a device when we were first going one to one. 5 to 550 for a Windows laptop, about 500 for an iPad. Um, so that price has gone down, which has been nice. Um, and the Chromebook management is so much uh smoother for us. Um, but yeah, we're looking at what two about the same last year as we are this year. So that's that's good news, too. >> So that non-touch piece is a really big part. So a touchscreen Chromebook costs an extra $100. Um, and then when they break it, it's like 110 bucks for a new screen. I mean, yeah, we do it in house, but still that adds up quickly.
I mean, >> 15 slides here could take me a week to explain. >> Your budget book is phenomenal. I just want to say like you've done an excellent job with all the verbiage there. But if you're your your visuals are very good summaries here. So if there's a way to like draw a line >> I will something >> and and perhaps what you can do for that purpose is um where you have circuit breaker you have where you have the names below that you might be able to say restricted or unrestricted right so something that indicates that hey this is you know uh and then even in your total you could say in unrestricted it's this only this much right >> right so that doesn't look like there's $6 million sitting in the >> account so just something simple if somebody's like hey what and then somebody sitting next to them go well but look at It's saying that there's only, you know, 1.8 in unrestricted.
So what we did is we we looked at the demographic reference group B and compared that across all of those uh all of those different districts with the per people pupil expenditure. Canton is denoted by the star with several districts off to the right. Those districts off to the right are are showcasing higher per pupil expenditures. Um and then the districts to the left are lower per pupil expenditure. Those that are below us have lower accountability indices for us as well. >> What what's important to know correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Fisher, when we look at Durk B, we uh we're one of the smallest districts in D. Dr. Gman, we are the smallest district in we're the second district. Um Thank you. Question 14. How do we forecast tuition of added district special education tuition agricultural vocational school? Can the notes of these items reflect how many students these lines cover?
All of the second floor is pumping heat. Um above standard 70 72 degrees. Um we're obviously not at you know 32 or below temperatures anymore. So the units don't have to fire and run as long or work nearly as hard. Um, probably one of the biggest things that we came across with the infrastructure of the building because it's so old, the outer walls are not insulated. So, one of the bigger units when the heat was getting to the coils, the heat may arrive and get to the coils at 130, 140°, but as they're running through the system because the walls are not insulated within those pipes, the coils cool down. And that's just a matter of the infrastructure. That's how buildings were built back then. >> Again, no one's fault it, >> right? And and that's that's to no one's fault. That's just the way, you know, engineering was was done back then.
Like, you're not participating in class, so you got like a rubric score of 1 through 4 each day, and you had to get a certain number of points um from your teachers that you that you were earning. Um And how is that putting the burden on the student? I'm not saying it's putting a burden on the student. I'm saying it's like putting the like responsibility and like supports on the kid. The teachers want it. Yeah. The teachers want it. >> that was my question. How is it putting the responsibility on the student, I guess? Cuz now you have like a thing that you're working for, cuz not all of our sports players are going to be like A students, B students, D students, right? And so when we do something like that, then it's like a this is like specialized to you. These are the things we're wanting um for you to like work towards.
Number talks were also introduced district-wide through math solutions training this month. Recognizing that implementation varies, we are shifting from whole group training to more individualized coaching and leveraging modeled classrooms for support. We will continue using student data to guide instruction and professional learning, strengthening tier one instruction and supporting long-term student mathematical success.
And an up smash. And a back air. And a back air. And again. Oh, he tries to turn him around with the cave, but King K Rule turns around after being turned around. Alrighty, Mario trying to reflect the cannonball like he did and King K Rule taking a stock the way he always does his dash attack with his belly. All right, lot of grabs going on by King K Rule and an upbeat from T and an up from Tanner and a back throw as well. Tries for the forward air, but it doesn't kill him. But the up special. Oh, just barely missing him. Ah, but a forward smash actually ends up actually ends up taking him out. All right. The stocks are the stocks are even, but the percentages are not. All right. King K Rules got a plan. Yep. >> He misses it. >> Yeah.
