>> Oh, Jim, just while you're on this slide, any for anybody that's looking at it, they're going to look at 1.1, they're going to look at 300, they're going to look at 293, and they're going to pay like, >> right, >> where is the other >> where's the other money million dollars or so? Maybe you want to explain that. That's the general. >> Yeah. So, so yeah, if you if you again 1.4 4 1.7 million. Where's the other 8 875,000? We we still have other operational expenses that exist and that includes, you know, contractual obligations, salaries, colas, um, things of that nature, heat, etc. Things that are already currently in our budget that are increasing costs. So, the remainder isn't adding anything new. It's just covering the normal operational costs that we have. So, if we didn't have an override, we would still need um that additional 875,000 that we're talking about.

And the tech policies um are on hold for the moment. We will address um obviously the one-to-one policy that has been taken out of the budget is, you know, taking is on the back burner for now.

But I I just wanted to verify that cuz I saw that and I was like, "Oh." Little heartbreaking. But I mean, I'm still very grateful for the parents that can come to the the parent teacher club and that's still an amazing advocate for your local schools. I just liked the PTA vision because it was for the entire, you know, district, the whole schools in California and whatnot. So, anyway, thank you for sharing. Right. Any other comments on the parent involvement opportunities? All right. Thank you. You're welcome. Um moving on to AD enrollment ADA reports. So, last month we had ended with 773.

I had the opportunity to visit a small group of students there 2 weeks ago at Kapolei High School. These are five young Hawaiians speaking 'ōlelo Hawai'i and being hungry enough to ask Anna Kahalehau Po, tell us about your life in Pāhoa. So, I said, "Okay, I'll bring my life stories to Pāhoa from Pāhoa to you, but you have to learn your life stories here." So, I'm hoping that this resolution will help support that initiative moving forward. Mahalo nui. Thank you very much. My kumu was Auntie Maiki Aiu, so thank you so much. Okay, anyone else wishing to testify? All right. Well, members' questions.

So it communicates with infinite campus. So students who are already enrolled, parents, we notify them too. If you want to see what is your enrollment status, go to your infinite campus uh portal and you should be able to see there if you have been registered. If it's not showing, it's because you're still on the wait list. >> Okay. Thank you, Miss Hernandez. >> Thank you, Miss M. >> Yes. on the I really like it that um you are refunding the money um for the students who pass the classes um that are uh the um credit recoveries. My question is the logistics of that um are they uh paying for it in advance and then you refund them or will you build them afterwards and then how do you make sure you get that? >> Good question. We worked with Lauren Randall was a part of our committee director of purchasing.

The committee can also chime in and give feedback as they do. The only extra Is it when you have the curriculum and we set everything that was displayed in the back of the room that comes from a certain document?

Any questions for policy? All right. Facilities. Okay, we met on April 2nd. We reviewed the school dude reports and Casey gave us the maintenance updates from each of the buildings. Um special attention to cafeteria tables at CLES, those will be closely monitored. Having some issues with those. Um you have access to the minutes and if you want to look at the tracking report it's a great document. Um you can see all the capital updates and where it is if it's closed or open and in progress. So, I'm empowering you to check that out. Uh do want to give a shout out to the new school scoreboard at the high school. >> Yeah. It's awesome. Although we're having a little issues with it last night. >> Oh, no. Okay. Ready? Doesn't seem to be going past 4 seconds left to zero, but hopefully we're working that out.

stayed the course. And then the other one that's attached, the ADA to enrollment, um seeing that 94.48% and 93.93%, those are up from the previous month as well as OES, it was a little bit lower and it went up. So, the percentages of enrollment attendance are up. All right. Thank you. And now we have E, interdistrict transfer reports. So, there was one student transferred into the district from WUSD since March 11th. All right. [clears throat] Now we are going to close the regular meeting and we're going to have a public hearing.

Any questions? Yes. Yes, DOE? Uh so, in DOE's testimony, um there has been an acknowledgement of teacher shortage uh for Kaipuni teachers. Uh however, this resolution just really calls for a plan, right? And that just is to ensure that we have community input. Correct. Okay. Correct. So, just No, no, no. I have another question. Thank you. Um and so, in that community collective group, um what are you envisioning that will be seen? And will there be any part for the department to be at the table? Will this in fact be community driven? The So, historically, the most Kaipuni schools were established at the advocacy of folks in our community. Um and as a result, the there was a the Board of Education worked with a group of parents, and they established what's called the Aha Kū Leo. In Board of Education policy, they identified that the Aha Kū Leo is the advisory committee to the Office of Hawaiian Education on matters related to Kaipuni education.

Right. Thank you. Business services, sorry. Um, so we worked with Lauren in that and so the plan is that they will not be assessed the fee until the end of the program. So if they're successful, it won't even be assessed. So it's not needing to be waved and that we'll use a spreadsheet to communicate back with her and Michelle and they will then assign that fee. I think the concern in there is that then that the responsibility or the follow through on collecting it will then somewhat fall on the sites. So that fee will remain outstanding for that student and kind of follow through with them year to year until it's collected. So they would have to leverage things like prom tickets, things like that, earbooks, right? Um our hope certainly is that uh parents will help us motivate students to be successful because it'll save them money, too.

If in 2008 we approved the Great Gatsby got to use it one more time um and and Great Gatsby is not on this list are we operating under the belief that Greg Gatsby was previously approved. there's been no issue with it. So, it stays approved. I think it behooves us to come with a fresh list and say and and provide to you here's the historically approved novels. Here's the ones that you freshly approved as part of the new adoption. Here are the other options. Then you can give us the direction on where you want to go with it. Um what I would want some clarity on based on board member Horn's comments are we typically provide guidance through um course guides, pacing guides. And so we might say here are some options that work with that grade level. Um I'm hearing maybe more of a prescriptive approach from the board that is it a you may read the Hunger Games or you shall read the Hunger Games.

So it does look like you've got a slide up there. May I'll just stop and let you >> I do go. >> Sorry. I I jumped at a few slides, but but and I think it's critically important to look at, okay, what do we anticipate our beginning balance to be um at the beginning of FY27? And again, these are projections and they can change tomorrow, right? They can change if we have a a huge expense come in uh throughout the remainder of of the year. Uh and that we've got to dip into these um these funds. But use school choice as the example. So right now, let's anticipate 1.78 million to start the year with school choice for FY27. If a budget doesn't pass, an override doesn't pass, we anticipate that number going down to 874,000 in available for FY28. Let's assume another 250,000 then comes in in FY28.

It's stuck at like 4.6. Yeah, and then the game I guess. Time out. Yeah. Game that never ends. Um we talked about the gym floor with Skinner. Um we currently have an RFP. Once it's complete, um Casey will share feedback with the NBC. And obviously, as Steven had mentioned before, the timing of this project will be dependent on replacing and repairing the roof over the large gym because that roof has an active leak. Uh I'm not going to go into detail about the fencing cuz Steven covered that um pretty well, but um there is money remaining in the capital funding for security. So, there's around 35,000 um money of money's remaining, so the budget will fund the overage of, you know, 4,100 and possibly do a budget transfer. We reviewed a lot of items from CLES um and the NBC is has been very responsive to addressing a lot of these issues.
