Harmon. Good evening, President Catlin, members of the governing board and Dr. Lowman. The purpose of this presentation is to give an updated preview of the fiscal year 27 budget projections. Staying on target with our budget calendar, we're doing our second preview of the fiscal year 27 budget tonight, getting us one step closer to the budget adoption on July 8th. Next board meeting, we will complete our final revision of the current year fiscal year 26 budget. Here's an update of our available funds to allocate allocate to our expenditure plan for next year. On March 30th, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee released the classroom site fund allocation. It increased by $41 per pupil. It brings our available funds, including classroom site fund, to just over 7.6 million dollars. We want to highlight some changes to our fixed cost estimates. At our February board meeting, we didn't know our health insurance rate increase for next year and we set our our estimates high at 14%.
Cuz I didn't see that clearly stated. >> So, they have a medical note just like anything. If they have a medical note, it supersedes anything we do here. So, when we say it's if we're health care, that requires a note From from a doctor saying you're a diabetic, you have to have a temp monitor. Okay. Whatever that is. All right. And that's an exclusion in the law as well. Okay. I this is more of a recommendation than anything else, but do we want to put in language that teachers can't authorize personal use of device or That is a student handbook um that anything that has to be changed can't be authorized by a teacher. Cuz what's going to happen, right? Students are still going to ask and I'd rather just take that completely away and have them say it's on the board or >> [clears throat] >> whoever, just not them being the decision maker.
>> Friday the 13th, Evil Dead, and For the third one, it's like a tossup. I always switches. So, I'm going to go with Night of the Living Dead. >> Okay. Awesome. Well, you This is our horror expert, I guess. So, you guys come on. Better come see his film cuz he knows his stuff. Well, that's all we got for you guys today. So, we'll see you. >> Bye. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Heat. Heat. What's wrong? Heat. Heat. Okay, we are here with our last interview before the film fest officially starts. Now guys, fun fact, these are actually my actors in my film. This is Ben. >> Hi, I'm Ben. >> This is Janelle. >> Hi, I'm Janelle. Okay. Now, can you guys, without spoiling my project too much, give us a little hint as to what's what it's going to be about? >> Uh, it's definitely going to be an interesting one.
>> Yeah. >> Good. How about this? You all >> Okay, you did a great job. >> Let's see. This is a camera, but then this wasn't. >> So, not bad. Your windows are a little low on there, but I >> The door was the wrong direction. >> Got it. Okay. >> Still could be a door. I kind of like it actually. But how about back here? Oh, >> interesting. Some of you are probably wondering, what are those two things on top of I don't know what that box is with knobs on it, right? But that was what TVs used to look like. You two had a good chuckle after you finished. Tell Can you show everybody? >> We're not Hey, we're not judging. We're just sharing. >> Sounds a little bit like judging. >> Not judging. >> I misunderstood a lot of the instructions. So, >> tell me what why do you think you misunderstood?
Our actual renewal is 9%, which drops our fixed costs by about 200,000. We met with the trust regarding our cyber coverage um and determined that we're we already have the appropriate levels of coverage and will not be increasing our limits to 3 million dollars. The last change is related to increases in fuel costs. We purchase approximately 10,000 gallons of diesel a month. With the prices that we're seeing, if they continue, that could be approximately $350,000 more next year. Overall, our fixed costs increased by about $100,000. This summary slide shows the available funds for operations. Fixed costs, 3% compensation increase, and positions approved in February. The total expenditure plan of 6.8 million dollars with about 847,000 remaining. This is the first look at the unrestricted capital outlay budget. District additional assistance or DAA is the formula for the amount of capital funding that we receive per student.
Maybe that's already in place, but that was just a thought I had in reading that. Wireless part of the student handbook. Any exceptions must be approved by [clears throat] administration. Which is code. I mean, that's that's already part of the code. So, that's in there? Well, that there are only I think three, is that right, ladies and gentlemen? Who are going to have the three exceptions? Like like a health medical Health plan or their IEP. I IEP, 504. And I I know it's kind of being referred to it publicly, but we say during school day, has that always meant from first bell to dismissal or is that first bell through extracurricular activities? What is school day? >> First bell through dismissal. Okay. I think those are all my questions. Does anybody have any use for them for instant translation services in Google Translate? Okay. Nope.
I guess you could say it's very high schooly. Um, yeah, that's that's Yeah. Right. >> Okay. Do you know anything? >> Um, it's very like teen crush vibes. Um, like this is literally 13 years old if it was a film. So, >> okay. Yeah, I feel that's pretty accurate. Um, well, while we're here, I'm going to give you guys a quick shout out. Thank you for being in my film. Awesome sauce. And yeah, that that's really all I got. Thank you guys. >> Amazing. Yeah, no problem. >> Okay, bye. >> Goodbye. Volleyball. What are you doing? Heat. Heat. Heat. Guys, we lied. We have one more lied. Our pants are on fire. One more interview for you, guys. So, can we get your names? >> Uh, my name is James. I'm Joseph. No. Fun fact, you guys were actually in my Sweet 16 court, so extra special that they came tonight.
>> Why do I think I misunderstood? >> I'm kind of misunderstanding your question right now. Maybe it's a personal thing. I don't I don't understand. What do you mean? where you said you think you misunderstood some of the directions. Can you tell me a little bit more about what part? >> Um, I tend to be a very linear thinker. So, like when someone says something, I pay close attention to the words and um I try to be as precise as I possibly can in that capacity. Okay. And I think if I'm in conversations with people that are maybe more of a holistic thinker that I misunderstand or misinterpret what is being said. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I mean there's a good exercise where I mean your language is important like one of our things is like you know using facts right. So if you say draw a square a square is a very objective thing and you know your square could be different or small but a square is a square.
We can add earn interest from prior year that gives us a total unrestricted capital outlay budget limit of 5.8 million dollars. Here's our current capital expenditure plan. Each school receives a capital budget based on enrollment, which includes the new furniture and equipment allocation. Each department receives a budget for ongoing expenditures. We're working on a number of growth-related projects and purchases. Um technology refresh cycles and upgrades, the majority of which is student computers. We currently have set aside $750,000 for uh transportation vehicles. This includes 184 passenger bus, 143 passenger sped bus, one yellow shuttle, and some major repairs of some existing school buses. $400,000 for curriculum refresh items. And we currently have $500,000 set aside for safety and security, primarily for upgrades to our bus camera systems and our electronic key card system. A summary of our capital plan shows uh that we've allocated pretty much the entire budget with about 10,000 remaining.
That's a good question, Casey. Didn't think about that. And they're going to they're going to phase out. So, part of this law also phases out bring your own device. So, some schools have adopted that. You're not going to be able to bring your own device after 2020. Do we see any um as far as enforcement with this? The one the one thing that they've included is like the iWatches and stuff like that. >> [clears throat] >> How are we going to enforce that? I mean, I What I don't want to do is is is see it onto the teachers where they're constantly going around and see if a kid's got the watch on or you got earbuds in or whatever. Um >> [clears throat] >> I mean, just one more thing that they have to is our policy strict enough that it's not going to have to be done in the classroom?
Um, James, you were in cast one, I believe, weren't you? Yeah. >> Um, have you heard any rumors about how fun the film festival is? >> Um, I haven't heard any rumors, but I've seen the trailers and the movies look really good and everyone put in their hard work, so I'm expecting it to be good. >> Awesome, Joseph. >> Uh, yeah. I think it's going to be really good. I'm excited. >> All right, guys. It's about to start. Uhoh, there is some awesome films. >> All right, see you. Thank you. >> Outro. All right, guys. That that's all we have for you tonight. The clock is ticking and the seniors are on their way. So, we hope to make like a banana and split. Thank you guys for having us as your host tonight. It was an awesome experience. And thank you guys. That's really all.
You say draw a fox, that's now open to more interpretation. Or they're saying, "Oh, draw a donut." versus saying, "Draw a large circle with a smaller circle on it." >> Right. Right. Good. Uh, can we see your first picture? Can you show everybody the first one? >> Yeah. >> So, can you tell us what your your clue was? Well, we we went like the the game show password style where you can't say the word, but you can give some description. So, her description was headwear that women from Salem >> headwear. >> So, it took a whole different >> witch's hat. >> Yeah. >> But she described and I think that goes back to Dorothy's the background, right? Like >> right, >> if I didn't know the Salem witch trials and things like that, I'd be like, >> "Right." And your your hat looks a little bit different than what was on the picture.
That concludes my presentation and I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have. Board members? Um the fuel cost, that's a pretty significant fuel cost. Um is that so, you had $350,000 in there. Is there escalation or is that based on today's fuel cost or is that like a projection or what are you what are you what are you looking at on that? Yeah, so we took a a kind of a rough estimate, an average of the price per gallon that we uh saw over last school year and then compare that to the the prices we've seen lately. So, they jumped from about 260, 270 to 550 a gallon. We've seen them float It's it's uh it's not I think the last the last purchase that we just made was still in the high fours. Um the estimate that we put together this 350 um was not at the 550, but was closer to 5 dollars.
>> now. Okay. Nothing's changed as far as the middle school. I mean, every kid that'll go up that as a freshman will know they can't have those items. So, >> Okay. do kids try to get away with it now? Of course, they do. But, we've got a we've got a little bit of a liberal thing right now where we had a five-step and we've shortened it up a little bit, but it won't be that you get to go put it in your locker anymore. It'll be now you've got to turn it into the office. Okay. I have a silly question. This technology related, are those um are those phones uh are the the watches don't they have to be in proximity of the phone? I don't know. I don't know. I have a phone. >> if you're locked up and away, they shouldn't matter. But, you can you can get one with cell cellular service on them.
>> More Harry Potterish, >> right? >> More this century than that century. Gotcha. All right. Please thank your partner. Come on back to the table. If you'd like to frame those, knock yourself out. All right. So, we're going to jump right in uh to a couple other things. I believe that some of these an these questions or comments may have been previously answered. So, there was a question about special ed uh contractors and so I don't know it I think Joel you said that was shared in a chat or something maybe or if Vanessa or Dominic has more input to share on that. It it was about contracting I think with special ed teachers. Where are are you were you looking at possibly trying to replace them with employees to increase? >> Yeah, we're looking for >> Yep, that's that's what it is. Cost neutral.
We don't know what the future holds. So, if it if it comes down, obviously this that'll give us some grace in our budget, but if it doesn't, um we wanted to be conservative in this projection. Got you. Hopefully that answered your question. Yep. Yep, that was kind of one of the biggest kind of new parts, obviously, in there. Um Yeah, one bill for 3 weeks was like 40 grand. It's usually around 20 to 24,000 dollars. There's no nothing from the state additional from the state then that we can leverage on there, I'm assuming, right? Yeah, we're not going to get an additional, you know, fuel inflation budget increase or anything. It's worth a shot. Mhm. Uh that's all that I have. Thank you. >> [snorts] >> All right, thank you, Jacob. All right. Okay. And oh, you get to stay up there for the next one, too.
Yeah, they would work without. Okay. Okay, so what are you doing with the watches then? Are you making them put them away? No watches? >> they're the same as if they're smart watch, they'll Okay. include that. >> [snorts] >> I read the [clears throat] policy a half a dozen times and I apologize if I haven't seen it. This policy does have the watches in here, correct? Yes. Yes. Yeah, I think I see your bug. At least there's few different types. Okay. Yeah, I think this is going to be pretty controversial. At least week one. Peru adopted theirs just the other night and theirs is very similar. So. Okay. If they get much pushback or have you heard yet? Not yet. We won't know until August. >> [clears throat] >> Any time there's change, you're going to have pushback. >> Yeah. We know that, so. And we can, you know, we're going to pushback, but I mean, I think if we look at research and it says it's a distraction.
Sorry, sick. My stay over here. um we're spending about a million dollars um more on contracted services. And so there was a thought to take uh some of that and roll it into market demand uh stipens in order to try to um p pull in uh more staff versus contracted staff. Um we never really got to talking about that. I think in the group about how much of a market demand or how big that should be. So I mean it was just out there on the table as a >> as an idea. Okay. >> Um and it would be cost neutral because we're already spending the dollars. So if we flip it and those are able to bring in employees, then it would be an employee versus a contractor. So, uh, do we have a an amount or we don't know >> like if you were going to do x number of >> Did you did you bring some amounts?
Maintenance and operations override, Mr. Harmon. Yeah. Okay, once again, good evening, President Catlin, members of the governing board and Dr. Lowman. The purpose of this presentation is to give an overview of the district's M&O override. This November is the final opportunity to seek a continuation before we begin losing funding um during the reduction period. This presentation will discuss what is funded by the override and what will be what will be impacted if not continued. Both bonds and overrides are approved by local voters and paid by local property taxes. There are two types of overrides, a DAA override and an M&O override. Unlike bonds and DAA overrides that are used for capital items like buses and curriculum or constructing new schools, a maintenance and operations override is additional funding for people and programs. Districts are allowed to ask for as much as a 15% M&O override and a 10% DAA override above the state funding formula based on the number of students we have.
