You're in the Sh County Office of Ed for tennis behavior and health mental support services. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. All those in favor I >> I carries sign unanimous 6.9 memor understanding of chast county office event for school building safety numbering and campus mapping initiative >> have a question on this [clears throat] >> um it says um under duties number two that we will pay. So I just want to make I want to confirm because it's not coming out of our budget. There are some costs here on our budget. It's not all paid by all of them. Um it's it's basically a building mapping system that the county will be symmetrical on. So if any law enforcement agency comes on any campus, the way the buildings are numbered, they'll know which where to go based on the reports. There's a curriculum on campus.
Just a quick look, we always do this catalog of again, since Chico was nice enough to have this very steady amount of development, just keeping an eye on how many kids you're actually getting out of the new homes. Uh last year we had really seen a dip particularly in the single family detached housing not generating as many students. That seems to have rebounded now. Whether that's a case of some of those homes that we looked at last year maybe had a three or four-year-old and now you have that kid enrolled when you didn't have them last year or just more of the families moving into brand new homes that we're looking at for the first time have kids, but you're kind of back up to those historical ranges that we're accustomed to seeing. Still a little bit lower than some of what they were in your peak years, but definitely that at least is a good sign that to the extent that the city continues to have development, which again, big chart, big map, there is you know, not all of these are going to be built over the next few years.
>> Mr. I think the >> I'll just say Commissioner Kenova, the >> the exact situation you just mentioned is what the state attorney general has brought litigation against all those districts who tried to put in policy in opposition what you're saying and to leave it. It's not really fair to our staff to leave it up to each individual to interpret the law against discrimination. This gives them guidance. just gives them clear guidance on what they should do. Um, and those districts that decide to abolish that, they really open themselves up to some very mishandling of of these situations because they may not be in accordance with the law against discrimination. This is really really for staff to provide them with guidance. >> That was what I was going to say, Mr. Gova. It's really to give staff guidance on what to do instead of saying follow the law because they're not going to go look up the law.
So, part-time or something, you know, but but anyway, so um but anyways, just taking a look at that um savings again, appreciate FiveStar uh and and all their help. They're helping us with the virtualization project last summer. They're helping us with our wireless network access points project this summer. Um they do a lot of that just heavy lifting on the engineering stuff when when when Sam is needing help um you know on the really deep deep stuff, you know, whatever. Um if um you know with an SIS platform change, things like that, they they would be jumping in and helping us out a little bit too. And so um they're great to work with. So that's that. Um, I know that was a lot. Sorry.
>> Yeah, >> Sue Roi would not allow that to happen >> cuz the line item above it says OT and recall beeper. >> So I wasn't sure. So I was thinking that was more time oriented and then the beeper was more beeper. Beepers are expensive now. So, I was just trying to understand it because I was gonna say it's maybe it's because the 80s are it's hard to get a beeper these days. They're expensive. >> Sorry. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Okay. So, it's really for for for people's time for especially for overtime if they get called in that kind of thing. Okay. >> Minimum four. >> That makes that makes sense. We had talked about updating the the budget line items to to more newer terms. >> That's a great idea. >> All right. >> Thank you. That's all I've got on water. Well, yeah, water.
It's what is a bill full bill can't be too much. >> They didn't say they didn't specify any cost. They said that they would cover >> $180 per student for a bill of $236547. >> It's a $180 per student. So, our current ADA would be $2,36547. >> And that's to be a part of this mapping system. Like, would we have to do it through Skully or >> what page was that on? >> What was that that breakdown? >> I'm on the electronic document. I'm not sure what >> it's the second page of that item 6.9 section right in the center. It has it kind of in its own line. He's not saying it. >> He was looking at a different agreement. >> Yeah, >> I think that was for mental health services. >> Yeah. It's not There's no specification, but I can see >> I know we have to cover the cost of paint like we're going to we're going to put building on the ceiling on the rooftops.
Some of these are very long term, but uh city is very confident in maintaining the approximate pace of development from the last several years and that means we know a nice steady increase in new families and students moving in. Uh, just that annual reminder this remains this is just for the elementary schools but one of the more useful kind of one-stop shops that we can give you in terms of answering a lot of questions. You can just look down the rows to see how many students live in each of your attendance boundaries or that's looking down the columns. You can look across the rows to see which schools they're actually enrolled in. Uh, just like the old AAA mileage maps you have the bold numbers going down the diagonal which is the intersection of students who are just going to the school whose boundary they live in which is the most common but in a district that offers a lot of choice as this one does just about not quite every but just about every combination of a student living in one part of the district and going to school at a given school is happening for at least some family.
they can look up the policy and I believe that one of the changes or something that has changed that the the parental notification was a problematic issue the fact that parents were not going to be told believe now that the the the policy has lightened a little bit where it it is on a case-bycase basis um that under certain circumstances you can disclose that >> which continues to be vague. That's the entire point. It's it's still a gray area. And that leaves it up to our staff to have to make a decision which could be, you know, a difficult decision. >> Madam President, >> one other comment. According to the New Jersey school performance report, our district has uh less than 1% non-binary undesated gender students in it. So, we're really spending a lot of time on what is really very very very tiny situation in our district >> and >> yeah and I'll just add to everyone at home as well you know we can create and deal with the policy itself but this is the law so it takes that step up but laws can be changed so we can change we here cannot change this law but there are people that represent you and various forms of government that can change this law so definitely be sure to reach out to them about your concerns if that is something you're concerned about.
Any questions on that? Okay. Um, the last thing I'd touch in there on operational matters is our before and after school care program. Um, you you probably know Mrs. Akre sent a letter out just uh right before right after spring break. Um, you know, the 21st century grant has been a federal cut um that that is a grant um that the district has received I think for eight years now. Does that sound about right? Um about a quarter of a million dollars a year. Um, so it is a huge hit. Um, I cannot stress that enough. Um, a quarter of a million dollars per school year. Um, and and that was a federal grant that was passed through the state and then that we got um and and that was a federal level cut. Um, and so that is how we have paid um for Bulldog Club um on top of a lot of other things.
>> Anyone else? Or do you want to move on to sewer? >> Yeah, we'll move on. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Keep all my pages in line. All right. So, sewer, we have a little bit of an increase. Um as we look at the revenues, same thing. U sewer is based off of water usage. Um sewer charges based off water usage. Um so we are seeing um similar activity on this side. Again FY25 there was the um sewer permits same thing as the water. Um that increased quite a bit. Um we do plan to use 500 of retained earnings for sewer um to balance the budget. We do have significant I shouldn't say significant we have a surplus um of retained earnings on the sewer side compared to the water side. Um a good portion of that does go to the Framingham IMA. Sorry. Firmingham sewer trunk line.
So, the hell know which. There are some cost to us. It's pretty minimal. I think it's it's well worth the cost for student safety. It's minimal. >> Okay. Make sure it did say motion [clears throat] to approve. >> Yeah. A motion to approve. Second. Can we find out please what the cost is? >> Move and second. All those in favor? All right. >> 610 agreement for participation in Sh County Office of Ed School District Classified substitute substitute consortium to approve second. >> All those in favor? >> All right. Unanimous. 611. School plans for student achievement for AHSD sites for the 2526 school year. And that's for all five locations. >> Um motion to approve. >> Second. >> Move and second. All those in favor. >> I unanimous. 612. Agreement is shared down with shiny committee college district. >> Motion to approve. Second. >> Move. Second.
And then of course you have your two uh, choice schools that also uh, you know, just add to the movement around but this can answer a lot of questions. There's a lot more detail in the full report but we'll dive in now to the enrollment projections and I think this is really the big one that explains what's changed over the last few years and what's going on. The green box approximately represents who you have enrolled K through 12 right now and you can see looking back towards the back end uh, cohorts that started off in you know, with birth years of your local population between 1,100 and 1,200 are still enrolled in your system and over the next few years are going to be matriculating out and coming up for the next 5 years uh, topping 1,000 births is notable and that's happening less and less but you can see at the very right edge of that green box, that's that particularly you had that below 750 kindergarteners, that was also pulling from the lowest year of birth that you have on record in the 21st century.
There's nothing we can do about that law particularly. >> Vice President Santiago >> and sorry just echoing President Paris's comments is um even in society, you know, the the population of trans people is I wish I had the number. It's like something less than 1%, right? It's like a minuscule amount. And I get it. But even as a parent myself, right? We're talking about the average parent just going literally by the numbers will not come across this situation, right? It's we're talking about a minuscule minuscule amount of people and we're making the situation I believe much larger because what if what if what if what if what if what if um and just the reality issue is just um not as big as we are um right now experiencing even with our students or even with the the amount of people in the the uh population.
Um, but if if I'm a parent, the the part I've seen is the Bulldog Club. um some of our parents, certainly not every parent. Um but it's also paid for um a significant chunk of um some staff cost um and then also some other programming and and educational opportunities for for our kids. And so um that is a huge loss um right now. Um and actually we have a visit tomorrow um from the Boys and Girls Club. um they provide before and after school care program at Frankfurt and Clinton Prairie both um and they are coming to take a look and meet with us about you know would they be interested in offering that same before and after school care program here um obviously it would be it would be a paid program it would not be a free program um but we want to take a look at that um you know it's not something financially we can just like pick up we just don't have a quarter million laying around to just pick that up or something um and so if Boys and Girls Club Um I they sounded very interested on the phone.
Um so my understanding is that is based off of estimates and in the past we were overcharged for it and so FY25 um kind of reset that is what my understanding was with Framingham. So that's why um you see a >> FY25 only has an expense of 159,000 and then um FY26 budget and 27 is 1.1 million. >> How did he how did we find out that Framingham was overcharging us? Mike, >> um a little a little investigative work, but um it it it wasn't a huge fight once it was presented to them. >> Okay. So, let me ask a question. So, when we're looking at this, you know, I'm looking at 3.8 in the current retained earnings, almost 3.9 for for sewer. We're going to take 500,000 out. That's going to leave us with basically 3.4 million in retained earnings. Um, so I assume, you know, so as far as like rates go, we're we're not making a recommendation of increasing any any rates across the board of any of the enterprise funds.
All those in favor? >> I. All right. 613 College and Career Access Pathways Partnership Agreement with Blue Band Community College District. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. All those in favor? >> I unanimous. Business and financial 614 agreement with AT&T for Worldwide Network One Services. That's information. >> How much is that going up from what it was last year? [clears throat] >> It's actually I think it's actually going down. >> Down. >> Nothing goes down. >> I have to pull up the contract. But >> yeah, I think it's actually a little cheaper. >> Good. Great job.
So, you've seen that. It's not going to be that bad again, most likely. But, still compared to who you have in fourth and fifth grade right now set to leave elementary school, particularly compared to who you have in high school right now, there just aren't as many kids waiting in the wings to fill all those places as those kids move out. Uh one thing that is good news, uh you can see kind of pre-COVID, we're looking at the ratio on that blue line on top. If we know how many births there were, how reliably does that tell us how many kindergarteners you're going to get out of those? Uh seeing that ratio kind of up in the high 70s, around 80%, suddenly dipping, no surprise in COVID-19, and what really happened there is in that 2020 to 2021 period, it's more that a lot of kids who had been born in, you know, 2017, 2018, 2019, and were going to, you know, reach that kindergarten age in the few years after COVID, had actually moved maybe in 2020 or 2021, but we see the sudden dip and then maintaining low in uh ratios shooting back up a little this year.
Vice President Santiago Commissioner Suarez >> just want to ask Dr. Roberts, have we had any incident with parents involving this topic to your knowledge? >> Not one that has come to my attention >> because as long as I've been on the board, I haven't heard of any yet that have come to our attention. >> No. >> Commissioner Suarez. >> Thank you, President Basford. I just found the language so um people at home know what we're discussing. Uh and it is worth um understanding but in and to um the comment about it being vague. I think it kind of has to be so. It reads students who do not do not want their parents guardians to know about their transgender status shall be addressed on a case-byase basis. In some cases, notifying parents or guardians carries risks for the student such as being kicked out of their home.
I'm I'm I'm I'm um uh I would say 99% confident. I think they will they will be interested in putting a proposal together for us. Um that would be obviously free to the district. There wouldn't be an expense. Um there would still be some um there would be some work involved because obviously they would use our spaces. There would be communication between our principles and our counselor and our teachers and things like that, you know, with them and and myself. But um but as far as like a direct expense, there would not be. Um but if if for some reason they were not um and obviously you've seen some change with Boys and Girls Club here locally, the umbrella they worked under. And I I think um my understanding uh from the conversations I've had is that was more organizational restructuring kind of it wasn't they they were cutting things or programs or stuff like that.
Correct. >> Correct. Um, we're going to utilize the retained earnings for for FY27 if and I'm assuming like we'll take another look at this next year, look at those retained earnings, see if it makes sense to continue to utilize that rather than increase rates. Um, I think it's I think it's a good discussion to have. You know, I know I know this is um I I I agree. I think it's good not to increase rates this year. We've got a lot going on. Um but, you know, I think it would be good next year when we start the budget process. um we can have that conversation a little earlier in the process just so we can kind of have a better sense of like if we need to adjust rates next year, we're kind of ahead of the game because I know we're kind of running up against the um our FY27 budget at this point.
