Any discussion? All right, let's vote. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. >> I. Opposed? All right, this passes. All right, we have another opportunity um for um to discuss items from the floor. So are there any additional items from the floor that would would anyone would like to speak about at this time? All right, seeing none. Uh we're going to be moving on um we um typically you this opportunity um where board members can request to agendize items. No requests were submitted at this time. I do just want to mention just for the public record. I I think we've received a lot of input within the last week and comments and so the process that we have to request to agendize items, it has to be done in a manner that it's submitted a week or so ahead of time. So, I just want to comment that a lot of these emails and comments that were made tonight are going to be taken into consideration by the board members.
So we came and um they walked around with me for probably I don't know a good hour and a half or so as with them walking around just looking at the building seeing different layouts and different things. They they asked us you know if there was some things we could do to help them just in terms of mapping and some numbering and things like that. So appreciated that but appreciated you know just opportunity to share school safety. >> That's what one of the dispatchers also presented one of the elementary classes. >> Oh cool. Yeah. So, we'll jump into the last piece on here. Um, item F and we'll go through that a little bit more. Um, but there are some master infrastructure plans and those are some things we've been working on. MEP building assessment, primary engineering, put that together for us that's in there.
We still have to pick up salaries and operations in school choice. However, in a 2.25%, if you said to me, and again, this is these are models, right? Um if you said, "Jim, those positions, those 7.4 positions, are positions we want to keep in the actual public schools, but they can't be in the operations because we're only getting a 2. you know, 2.5% increase in our overall uh appropriated amount, that means we'd have to spend significantly more money out of the school choice to make it work because you'd have to pull those other salaries of those 7.4 positions into school choice. Um And the money won't be there to do that. It would It would not be. Right. I know we've had this conversation a number of times and and what I always worry about numbers is somebody's going to look and say, "You still got, you know, $3 million in in one-time funds.
They're teaching and they're working hard every day. So, if you came through, you would see the great things that are happening. So, please, as everybody's mentioned, anytime you want to come through, I know that, you know, we did have the quick facilities tour, but if you ever want to see instruction taking place in the day, feel free to call or make some arrangements with myself or anybody else and we'll get you in. I just wanted to touch on school closings and delays. We've had quite a few this winter and and the weather. Well, after yesterday, you would think it's over, right? And and who knows, um 78 degrees when we're driving home yesterday. Unbelievable, right? after uh getting up at 4 in the morning a lot of times and dealing with you know the DPW and I don't mean dealing in a bad way working with DPW and the other Franklin County superintendents who are in text groups um and working with our director of facilities Mike Budro uh none of these decisions are taken lightly obviously when we have delays um the reality of it is it's safety right safety first and we'll always say that um it's unfortunate none none of us want school to keep progressing into the summer in in that sense because these days have to be made up.
Uh yet, you know, we're responsible for almost 1,400 students and transporting them to school. So, we need to make sure people are safe and for the most part, right? Barring an accident, um you're not going to have a bus slide off a road or too many accidents on ice in the middle of June in that sense. So, generally, a lot of times we will err on the side of caution on those. And a lot of times we'll actually wait, too. I mean, many of you have seen weather and the predictions all the time. The weatherman will tell you this is going to hit and we're going to get this many inches. Uh there's a big difference and I I've always liked to hold off a little late. I've been I've made some calls earlier this year that the night before, don't get me wrong. But there's a big difference between 4:00 in the afternoon and 4:00 in the morning.
Um, so basically you can see the uh enrollment the projected enrollment. So this year is about 5,718 students. Next year we're projecting a loss of about 5,581 and the following year is 5352. Also what is important is to notice ADA or average daily attendance. So this is basically how many times a student is actually attending school, right? So um an ADA ADA of one would be a student came to school every single day. If they come 90% of the time they would be an ADA of 0.9 and so on and so forth. Um stepping column which is increases along our salary schedule um is projected about 1.5%. Um Stir's employment rate which is the district's contribution to Stir's employees. So these are our certificated employees. So that's our teachers um principles um anyone who requires a certificate um the district contributes about 19.1% of their salary and to stir Kalpers is all other um employees.
So, expect that you'll see some some future requests to agendize items. But none at this time. All right, moving along to adjournment. Is there motion to adjourn this meeting? So moved. A second? All right, I'll second. All right, motion by member Landa, second by vice president Olsen. All those in favor? I. Opposed? All right, we adjourn this meeting.
Um, which I've provided you guys with some binders um that have been putting together and we'll just keep kind of adding to these things. But, um, that is all the MEP assessments that were just recently done. Um, and appreciate Primary kind of doing that, putting that together for us. And that's kind of starting to build a bigger bigger puzzle piece and just putting them all together. So >> I love binders. Thank you. >> Hey, there you go. So >> Amy would. >> So that's all I have and I have no items from superintendent. >> Anybody else got anything board members? >> Thank you, Levi, for for coordinating that last night. That was >> it was amazing. um your idea, your coordination. So, thank you. >> That's it. >> Meeting adjourned. >> You got to adjourn this one though. >> I move to have to. >> Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. Why doesn't that fix the problem?" Right. And so, because I never know who is watching this for the first time, I just ask you to to we talk about those other sources and the restrictions on those and and sort of why we can't Yeah. So, revolving funds are um are certainly part of the normal operations of a school district, right? So, when we charge fees by law, whatever we charge the fee for, that's what you can utilize to pay down an expense. So, transportation fee, we pay a bus fee, $280 per kid, uh that has to go towards transportation costs only. It can't go to fund a salary. By law, And and circuit breaker Yeah, I'll get to that. Yeah. So, I can't take the fees that we get for uh transportation and pay a teacher salary with it. It's against the law. Circuit breaker is a reimbursement for out-of-district special education costs.
Uh yet, you know, we're responsible for almost 1,400 students and transporting them to school. So, we need to make sure people are safe and for the most part, right, barring an accident, um you're not going to have a bus slide off a road or too many accidents on ice in the middle of June in that sense. So, generally, a lot of times we will air on the side of caution on those. And a lot of times, we'll actually wait too. I mean, many of you have seen weather the predictions all the time. The weatherman will tell you this is going to hit and we're going to get this many inches. There's a big difference. And I I've always like to hold off a little late. I've been I've made some calls earlier this year that the night before, don't get me wrong, but there's a big difference between 4 in the afternoon and 4 in the morning.
In that 12 hours, storms can can slide south, they can slide north, warm air can come in, cold air can come in. Um Did it really ice up the night before? You saw last Friday. Many of our friend Many of our I say our neighboring towns, right? Franklin County superintendents called for a 2-hour delay the night before. Um Mr. Sullivan and I talk a lot. We waited till the morning, right? And then, you know, the reason you you probably know or you may not know, the reason the cancellation that day is students had a half day early release as well. So, with that, they were going to be going home. They weren't We weren't going to bring students in for 1 hour, eat breakfast, eat lunch, and and walk out the door. Um our neighboring district, Gilmanton, had to do that on Wednesday of that week, just 2 days prior, where they had to cancel school because they had an early release as well.
So that's more of our classified employees. So I'm a classified employee. Our IAS librarians um accountants um they have their own um retirement system um which is Kalpers. We do contribute to that as well. Um so you can see that it is slightly decreasing over um the next year and then staying pretty much flat in the 2728 year. The biggest change from the first interim to the second interim had to deal with cola. So you can see in 2627 and 2728 you see a little stars um or asterisks. Um in 2627 the new projected cola is 2.41% 41% which is down from I believe it's 3.01% that was initially projected in the first interim and then in 2728 um it's at 3.06 um it was initially projected at 3.42%. Right? So COLA is a cost of living adjustment. So, these are increases to the district's revenue possibly um based on a calculation um that the state does that's in statute.
Just walk away. >> I'll second. >> Oh, >> the what? >> The executive session. Remember, we just walk away. >> Okay. Moved by Bryce, seconded by Gina to adjourn the meeting. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion passes 6. Meeting adjourned. Meeting adjourned.
It can only be used to offset out-of-district special education costs. The challenge with circuit breaker is that the funding formula is again, uh out of whack. Um Being polite. >> I I use I I I try to keep it really simple. Um let's assume a a student is outplaced. Uh and it's a um a $100,000 student. By law, the the first calculation is, okay, uh four times the cost per pupil is is owned by the district first. I mean, it's 10,000. It's not 10,000, but I'm just using it as a number. So, there's $40,000 that that student that the district is immediately responsible for. So, then there's a $60,000 gap that exists. And that is what is eligible for reimbursement under the circuit breaker. However, the circuit breaker funding at the state level can vary. It can be by law, it's supposed to be at 75%.
And that 12 hours, storms can can slide south, they can slide north. Warm air can come in, cold air can come in. Um, did it really ice up the night before? You saw last Friday, many of our f many of our I say our neighboring towns, right, Franklin County Superintendent called for a two-hour delay the night before. Um Mr. Sullivan and I talk a lot. We waited till the morning, right? And then you know the reason you you probably know or you may not know the reason the cancellation that day is students had a half day early release as well. So with that they were going to be going home. They weren't we weren't going to bring students in for one hour, eat breakfast, eat lunch, and and walk out the door. Um, our neighboring district, Gil Monagu, had to do that on Wednesday of that week, just two days prior, where they had to cancel school because they had an early release as well.
But that morning, you saw some of our neighboring districts go from a 2-hour to a cancel in that sense. So, um so while I know that everybody likes to have arrangements made the night before, etc., I think in this day and age of the internet and the capability of watching the weather, we know what's coming for the most part, and I think parents have a clue, at least an idea that uh there's some weather on the way, and and the kids will definitely tell you cuz they're hoping for days off as well, and our seniors are. So, I'm always looking out for everybody's safety, and yes, we are right now up to Wednesday of that last week, the Thank you. 17th. Wednesday the 17th. They know. They know. Absolutely. And um and I know we're going to be talking about many other things tonight um that take time, and talking about our teachers today, the work that they're doing, and our principals.
Um this is just kind of to also as a reminder. So, um lucky enough we were able to lease out um two of our properties. Um, Kadeno is at our old Toyon property and Children's Health Council is at our Lane View property. Um, we have started receiving um, uh, revenue or lease revenue from the Children's Health Network as of January. Uh, Kandango started at the beginning of this year. This pretty much offsets what we have lost from Militus Christian School. So, Militus Christian Schools and I mean they their current term was for 2526 and beyond. Um they are no longer with us. They were at our Birchwood property. Um they still owe us pretty much $550,000 from the 2425 school year and we did lose out on $713,000 for this current school year. And the other one had to do with our 1376 Pemont Road property, um, which was supposed to be leased out.
And it's been as low as, you know, 25% and it's been more traditionally been at the 75% the last few years because the funding has been there. So, let's just use 70% cuz I can't do the math real fast tonight. Um so, out of the $60,000 that's remaining, 70% of that would be reimbursed, so $42,000. So, then there's still a delta of 18,000. Right? So, that 18,000 gets added back to that first 40, so it's $58,000. So, 58% of that $100,000 cost is owned by the district. And we talked about an average per pupil cost for us is what, 18,000? So, so that's that's how it works. So, but again, it can only be used to offset any of those costs. So, next year's $5 million of anticipated claimed um out-of-district costs. And you have to meet a threshold first, otherwise you own the whole thing.
But that morning, you saw some of our neighboring districts go from a two-hour to a cancel in that sense. So, um, so while I know that everybody likes to have arrangements made the night before, etc. I think in this day and age of the internet and the capability of watching the weather, we know what's coming for the most part. And I think parents have a clue, at least an idea that there's some weather on the way. and and the kids will definitely tell you because they're hoping for days off as well and our seniors are. So, I'm always looking out for everybody's safety and yes, we are right now up to Wednesday of that last week, the Thank you. 17th. Wednesday the 17th. >> I wanted a teacher to know. >> They know. They know. Absolutely. And um and I know we're going to be talking about many other things tonight um that take time and talking about our teachers today, the work that they're doing, our principles, things take time.
Things take time, and we appreciate you, you know, being patient. You've seen some schools. You've heard from the middle school tonight. You'll hear next week from Federal Street, some schools that have come out of right, assistance and needing some work, and other schools that are still in assistance. So, given time, they will make progress, and they need to do things. And some of our other motions, to jump a little ahead, um are I think are great suggestions and some great topics for further discussion that we're going to see a little later on tonight about um why do we do certain things, right? Um sometimes people will ask me, "Why do we do things?" And obviously, I don't have a lot of history here right now, and but the reason we we in education do a lot of things is because we've always done it that way.
