So, um, and if I have to take two of Chris's chemistry classes, right, because he's got to take two biology classes, that means that I'm going to have I won't have room in my schedule to teach the APCSP. So, that I've already taught to Joselyn that will shift to her and um because we want to keep that. It's like our only programming class in high school at the moment. Well, hers this year, the Python and mine are the only PI are the only programming classes we have in the school. So, we don't want to get rid of APCSP. So, she will take that on. And as she takes that on, that means that she will have to we can't run her Python course because she will not have room in her schedule for it. So, she'll take up the, you know, the CSP because I can't teach it anymore.
You want to work on cars? Do you want to take art? You know, you want to be a tattoo artist? Hey, the sky's is the limit. go to Citrus, talk to somebody. And so I want to thank you guys for your presentation and opening that door for our community. So thank you again >> and I want to thank you for your partnership. Um every year you come, you always have some new addition, right? And the camp your campus is so beautiful also and you always have new programs, but your partnership with the zoo students from Zuzi Unified School District, we appreciate it. you know, you help us meet our um our mission statement that we are preparing our students to be college and career ready, right? And my granddaughter, yeah, she's in the promise program and so is my grandson. And and they really enjoy it and it does.
Um if we could have predicted what uh all those variables were, we would have been able to uh have different conversations in those years. Um but those things are are gone now. Um that that's not happening. Our our chapter 70 funding is we are not going to see large increases anymore. Uh that's leveling off. And so that's the reason why uh it is now is the right time from that perspective and why uh we've been saying this and we've been able to pull those things out in the past. and and those are kind of the the big uh the big things that relate to that. Uh, one one point I want to make and after, you know, Paul brought up some some of his excellent points is, you know, it it's funny when you're not at the meeting, you can you can focus more on on the words that are actually being said.
But that's going to eliminate one of hers. >> I don't know enough about the technology or where it's going to be in four, five, six years, but I know that I've interviewed over a hundred college graduates or upcoming college graduates just this year and everyone that stood out has had a course on this Python. So, yeah, it must be something in the job. >> Yes. Yes. Python is is um used uh a lot right for for programming. So um you know in the in the world so um you know and and actually our you know for gosh number of years we've really kind of needed a half tech position to teach programming. So I mean my programming skills are you know somewhat limited right is enough to get by and so are joins. So it we really need somebody in the school that can truly teach programming.
It's very true. It does help them. You know, they're always worried about the money, right? So, if you can go to school for at least two years [clears throat] on Citrus's dime, why not? So, I want to thank you for your great programs and your expansion and I'm so proud that your enrollment getting bigger and ours is diminishing. But thank you. >> Thank you again for this opportunity. I'd like to move on to um 13.1 presentation of update surplus properties. Mr. Ortega, >> thank you. Uh board vice president Rodriguez Pena. Uh we do have one update on our surplus property tonight. Uh I'd like to report that we did get one additional uh non-refundable deposit uh for our Ellington, our former Ellington site. Um, and so that property continues to move forward in its process. Thank you. >> Okay, we're moving on to item uh 13.2, vote of California Schoolboard Association, CSDA delegate assembly representative.
And um, one thing we've got to be really really careful about, I think, um, and I just heard this now, is that, you know, we've never pulled it out. We've never fixed anything in the last eight years. We've been very clear about that. We've been very clear that we're just kicking the can down the road. Um, and that the fixes that we've had, you know, the big structural fixes, um, were made and that anything that we're doing is just really just kind of kicking the can down the road. Um, so I I think I think we've been very clear that this day of reckoning was coming at at some point. Um, I don't know when there is a right time or versus a right time for a tax increase. Nobody likes a tax increase in a good time. Um, but um, I I do think we got to be clear.
So we've been kind of limping along as it is in that particular area um you know in the programming area. So you know to have to eliminate you know we finally got a course in right and now it's looking like we're going to have to eliminate a course. So I mean we're just barely limping you know along in that particular area. So, and that is a skill that would be like students, you know, would would be very beneficial as you said to getting a job outside of school. So, >> you did a really nice job like saying the impact that it's going to have both you and and Peter, right? You know, I know bets all along been saying you don't know the impact that's happening at that at Tahanto, right? We automatically know like I said earlier what happens at Burl and the Bolston and we kind of teach her.
Can I have a motion? Motion by board member Arianis. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> A second by board member Ramos. Any discussion? Seeing none, I I just would like to um vote. I guess they want they do want us to vote and there's two candidates here and I'd like to vote for Maria Castades Pavina Valley and Robera Pearlman from Pomona Unified School District. Colleagues, um, please place your vote. Well, oh, I'm sorry. I should probably ask, do you all agree on these two candidates? Okay, I just just asked. Thank you. Um, okay, colleagues, please place your vote. Motion passes. Four yes and one absent. Moving on to item 14.1, approval of Isuza Unified School District second interim financial report. Mr. J, I turn it over to you. >> Thank you, um, board vice president. Um, tonight we'll be presenting the second interim report.
We we've been sounding this alarm for for years now. >> You know, I think that one thing that [clears throat] it just boils down to is it's kind of simple on, you know, some level is that 2 and a half% to increase every year when every every piece so many aspects of the budget increase sometimes even by double digits. you know how it's amazing that it's it has been able to move forward in the way that we've moved forward you know I mean the gift of co you know was was some some funding that we didn't expect um and that you know what Paul was referencing in ESSER funds for the schools um you know and funding for the for the general government so I mean I think we all know our in our personal lives what we're living isn't 2 and a.5% increase from year to a year.
But you did a really nice job explaining how it's got it impacts all of our students here. Um, so thank you for that. Jackie, >> just have one question. So if we do add this biology teacher back in, right, what classes would that secure? >> Okay, so that will secure um that will secure all of our chemistry. So AP chemistry will not be, you know, will be offered not a problem. >> Yeah, it will restores AP. >> Yeah, it restores all of our AP. >> It would restore not the physics though. Well, it will restore AP bio, AP Chem, right? AP physics is always a little up in the air, but it would allow me to have room, right, to take that back on again. And it would restore forensics, it would restore >> anatomy. It would restore maybe even two sections of anatomy. Um we've also discussed um if we are fortunate to look for this position that we can find somebody that will also teach AP environmental science which is like kind of a you know students request that as well.
Um, before I get started, I would like to take the opportunity to thank, um, our director of physical services, um, Mr. Daniel Garcia and his team for their hard work and diligence of getting and compiling this report together. We're here tonight to present our second EN report. This is a requirement per education code 42130 and 42131. We pre um present the financials um to the board of education um for first interim with actuals as of October 31st and now second interim with actuals as of January 31st. This is our budget um cycle to let you know we are here um preventing second interim and we are currently um multitasking and working on the adopted budget. Um we'll do the May revise and then in June we'll um present the proposed adopted budget and then the second board meeting is when we'll hope to have the adopted budget adopted.
It's significantly more. And town government, school departments have to also increase reasonably the same. It's and and so many of them are not things that we have a choice over. We don't have a choice over what we're going to pay for health insurance, what we're going to get charged for that. Should that be a conversation we have with our legislators? Absolutely. You know, they need to do something. They brought us into or encouraged us to go into this government employee insurance program. Worked really well until everybody said, "Okay, I want a piece of that." And then it doesn't work so well anymore. And we're faced with, you know, an increase in in health insurance costs that is better than 1/4th of what a two and a half% increase of the entire town budget is. I mean, it it's just it just doesn't it's just not possible.
So we can really we can bring back earth science because I can you know do that again. So really it will restore all of our electives that we've had in the past and hopefully even help you know we can get somebody to teach that AP environmental which would be you know great. So >> thank you >> Lisa. Yeah. Um, so I was on so this this conversation just it breaks my heart um because I know what we've been able to offer our students for a very long time and what they've done over the course of their careers and lifetime. So, one of the things I did today because I was looking at supporting rich and um the high school with looking at designations and concentrations and I was looking at the mass hires work for course blueprint and if you don't you've never done that you can just go to mass hires central blueprint and it is very specific about what our fastest growing industry sectors are in this region and if we are going to be supporting our students to be effective in this area.
Here are the budget assumptions that we're using um for second interim. [clears throat] Everything remains the same from first interim with the exception of the cola for 2627 and 2728. At first interim, NOLA was 3.02 for 2627 and now is down to 2.41. Um and also um the cola in uh 2728 is now down to 3.06. Here we're looking at our enrollment. So this is showing our enrollment. Now what's different is we have actually officially certified our enrollment. So at um first interim that enrollment for the 24 2526 school year was still showing as projected at 5,757 students. We have certified our enrollment which is an increase of 57 from our projection. So our certified enrollment is 5,89 students. We also show uh ADA um at first interim it was projected at 90%. As we have certified our first P1 attendance, we are happy to announce that our attendance has improved and so we are um showing our current attendance rate of 93.25.
I mean, it's really pretty simple math. It's not even complicated math. It's nothing that we even need the fincom folks to explain to us. It's something that I think we can all understand. >> So I I guess the uh the burden falls on all of us right now is to make a decision as to the route that we want to take to support well we've already made that decision but now it's the additional funding that we want to remove from the stabilization account to keep things the way they are. Is that what is that what we're looking at right now, Michael, on this discussion? >> Just uh to to find a way to close this $444,000 gap. >> Okay. And and and Michael, I'm assuming you you're talking about the general stabilization and potentially the the special education stabilization or or is that is already already already factored in?
Um our three fastest growing sectors are healthcare, manufacturing and transportation and logistics. All three of them require some type of science background. the healthcare. I mean, there's a litany of things, but the manufacturing includes biotechnology. >> All of those are have a foundation. And even if we're trying to move our students from high school into a program where they're being trained, they're much more capable of being trained when they have the background. Because I know when I taught AP Bio, they had tools. They they were able to use tools that then gave them a head start for internships and for summer work to be able to do the work in industry. So I just wanted to draw your attention there is research what what the fastest growing sectors are and that can be found mass hires central workforce blueprint. It's it it's a really well put together website.
Um that's significant because our um supplemental concentration funds are directly impacted by our actual attendance now. So by that having an increase, we'll also see on the next slides the increase in revenue projections as well. Jumping on to our revenue, this is our LCF funing. So this is our largest um part of funding source for our general fund coming in at 96 um4 million. Um you also see our supplemental concentration. So those are the two grant funds, those buckets. If our attendance actually drops, we actually in this year will have a reduction of funding. We're grateful that our students are actually coming. Um happy with the collaboration of ed services and all the work they've been doing um to have our students um make it exciting for them to come to school and increase and thank our parents too. um for bringing our students to school.
>> Those are those are already factored in. Um um and and we've got our health insurance rates. So that are locked that's locked in. Um yeah, let me let me go take a look at the revenues again. Let me see um at our pension assessment when we're hoping to get that. >> I don't think that it's much we have to like if this doesn't pass, we are going to have to 400,000 some odd plus another 1.4. That's the bargain we're making. I don't I mean if I don't know if that requires a vote it's just obvious you know like that if this doesn't pass and I'm not just talking to the people here town of Ashland if this doesn't pass we're going to have to go to the stabilization fund and take out upwards of potentially $2 million to close this gap to to buy hopefully a fiscal year to figure it out and then come back.
Um and we are going to be partnering with them to help um put forward, you know, our what we'd like to do at Tonto for our students. >> So Lisa, in case the microphones didn't pick you up, what you're saying is that the state of Massachusetts has a site that tells us what our fastest growing industries are, and it was healthcare, manufacturing, and >> transportation and logistics. transportation and logistics. They all require a science background. The interesting thing you said that I found was the manufacturing. So, we're talking like building cardboard boxes or building cars or something, but you said biotech, >> right? So, the manufacturing um you know category also includes biotechnology for their purposes of aligning um you know the workforce and yeah >> so bio biotech one of Boston's suburbs biggest industries biotech 30 minutes down the road wallam water town all those companies not just researchers in the lab for biology but you need people who can run the machines to make the drugs and to go through all the protocols and whatever else you have yeah interesting >> it goes back to us being competitive like I said at the beginning, right?
