I know it doesn't feel super satisfying to advertise, "Hey, you guys, we got a 0.79 raise." I don't like it, either. I wish we could at least get to a 1 or a 2% raise. And we also wanted to make sure that we had full consensus. and the the process that we went through made sure that everyone had a voice, and we were all in agreement at the end to this package being what represented the most equity across the entire district. We wanted to acknowledge that all members of the Creighton School District are valued and important, and we wanted to fix some of the things that were specific to certain groups, and this plan does that. And one of the things that um Mr. Man just um talked about Vanessa being able to do was to look at it's not just a 0.79 raise, right?
If if that's a request, >> you hit your button. >> Um you're going to see in one of the um action items um some of the uh opportunities that were opened up and some of the some of the different staff members that were uh be supporting in in our operations maintenance and grounds over the summer as well. I just mean specifically for like bus requests. >> Bus request is um >> student activities or sports or whatever it may be. If that's >> uh we do have one camp um but it it is going to be uh privately uh >> the transportation is going to be provided um independently not through line. >> Okay. But if there was that wouldn't that order wouldn't be available? Um if there was right now we don't have nothing on the schedule. That's what I guess that's what I'm trying to say.
Nobody's just getting a 0.79. Everybody's also getting those other things, and then when you do all the math, it ends up being a higher percentage raise overall. That's not how it looks on paper, but when you do the math, that is the case. This particular slide shows you how much each of the items cost, so you can imagine um you know, we did look at some of these costly items and say, "Wait a minute, maybe if instead we don't do that, we can give a higher percentage raise." But we looked at all the options, and we also wanted to set up the district for a good space moving forward. That was really, really important to us, and that's why the schedule changes and the years of service changes needed they they need to take place in order to build a foundation that we have to build on moving forward with more consistent raises that are equitable across the board.
Okay. Um there's no additional activities that will require transportation over the summer other than summer school. >> Okay. >> No. >> Thank you. Thank you, Mr. B. Thank you. >> If it's requested, we'll take them. We're happy to take them. >> Thank you so much. >> Appreciate it. Company board members, we'll move on with our agenda this evening. The next item is the first read of the Arizona School Board Association policy advisories. Mr. Sabala, do you want to kind of go through a quick summary? >> Gel. >> Thank you, sir. Uh again board members it's a first read go through if there's anything that you um have any issue with or these are recommendations again but it's also advisory uh from our partners at ASBA who look over uh state legislation legislation and changes that that uh are impactful or impacted.
Right now, because of how we've um kind of had to piecemeal since all the way since 2008, probably even before that, trying to get as much money in people's pockets as we possibly can, we did some creative things with salary schedules that have um I'm surprised she doesn't have more gray hair, but have Vanessa should look like me and have lots of gray hair, because she has spent hours upon hours trying to figure out, "Why does this person make this? And they're the same job title as this person who makes this? And how did all of this happen? It's insane." So, um really fixing some of this gives us a good foundation for moving forward with being able to be equitable in the raises. Now, that being said, if some of the things come under cost, we did all agree as a team that any excess money within the 750,000, cuz we were being very responsible and staying under that or at that amount of money, but any amount that can go towards the raise for all, that's where any leftover money was intended to go.
So, but if there's any questions you have, it is the first read of those policies um or that policy. Number six is our action items. Um Mr. Diaz, I know it's about 8:30 and considerations for your staff. If no one needs to stay, more than welcome to dismiss who you need to. >> Thank you, President Wendia, for your consideration. If the staff, they don't have any action items. Um, we wish them a great night and and and and safe trip home back home.
So, they can get us to a 0.83, or you know, a 1.0 would be amazing. If anybody wants to give us more money, I'm sure we would be excited about that. But, to stay within our 750,000, this was the package that we all came to consensus on and agreed upon. And then, our next steps. So, May 12th, we are make bringing the recommendations to the governing board. Well, sort of. Not in the study session, but here. Uh that changed a little bit. And then, the next step will be um CEA will incorporate this into the consolidated professional agreement plan, which will need to be um provided to the lawyer to um look at, as well as approved by members of CEA and other employees for feedback. Then, you guys will be presented with the final draft on June 23rd, in case there's any little things that lawyers change.
If they do have an action item, I will request for them to stay behind so that they can answer any questions you may have. >> Have a good evening. Make sure you eat if you didn't eat. Number six is our action items this evening. Uh, letter A's, discussion and possible approval of the ratification of payroll. Sorry, sorry, sorry, wrong place. We're learning new agenda thing here. Sorry. Discussion and possible approval of the FY2026 expenditure budget revision number one. Miss Clementina Carla. >> Good evening. As we as I discussed and uh earlier at the hearing, um districts are able to revise the annual expenditure budgets with governing board approval minimally two times a year. The USD did not receive a a budget verification letter this fiscal year that would have required a re a revision to be submitted in December um 15, 2025. That means that we were not over budget.
Um and then, we'll be able to approve the salary schedules based on this information. And then, we're available to answer any questions you might still have. And um whenever you're ready, if you have questions for the team, do you want to do those first? Or I know Russell has my document that I put together today. I'm sorry, it's kind of raw. It's spreadsheet. We love the spreadsheets. Um but just wanted to make sure before I jump into that.
The fiscal year 26 adopted uh M budget was 10,44,989 and the fisc year 26 revision number one has a slight increase in ADM resulting in $675,61 increase in the revenue control limit. There is a site decrease of $794 in district additional assistance. The projected budget balance carried forward at the time of the budget adoption was $475,000. But after all the expenditures were finalized, the actual budget balance carried forward was $583,215, an increase of $108,260. So, if you recall, our adopted budget is a projection and we haven't finished closing out the fiscal year. Additionally, one the onetime payments on line 10 of page 7 were not factored into the budget adoption. And now that we have the real numbers, that increased the budget by $156,15. The total increase from the adopted budget to the revised budget is an overall increase of 9939,038. The weighted average daily membership was initially 1,348.861963, but as the year progressed, our student count slightly increased and the 100th day weighted average daily membership was 1470.923123124.
Go ahead and then if we have any questions, we can move forward with that. Sorry, I thought you you were going to pull that up. I've got it. >> Oh, sorry. Okay. Oh. Do um Joel has it. Okay. If we want to make that big. I think I put it on 150. Um so as the team talked about this year was I think one of the most interesting 16 years that I've had uh with meet and confer so far and I didn't think that could happen. Um I really thought smooth sailing year three. Uh but I really want to also thank the tremendous efforts of the compression and com um compression and compensation committee. Um they were the ones that were able to look at my work initially and tell me am I on the right track cuz it was a lot of work and a lot of hours and just a lot of just just trying to get it to that place um that we can move forward and have a nice foundation just like Dorothy said, um that allows us to go into these conversations and and real a big goal of mine is to have this data historically given to the meet and confer every single year.
at the time of the most recent um update from AD on April 21st and that was those numbers. The group B weighted add-ons were initially 191.6145 an increase to um an increase by uh 38.173 to 229.7875. And if you're not familiar with group B weighted add-ons, that's the ESS with different categories. Page three was adjusted to reflect updated carry forward amounts that resulted in 298,240 increases. That was the classroom site fund. And in addition, the federal projects budgets amounts on page six were updated increased to reflect the most current amounts provided by the director of federal and state grants. administration recommends that the BOD governing board approve the fiscal year 2026 expenditure budget revision number one as presented. >> A motion to approve the FY2026 expenditure budget revision number one as presented. Is there a second? >> Second by Miss Kathleen Vance. >> Kathleen Vance author.
Um it's consistent. They're able to um we can all understand what it is uh at this point in time with the uh schedule repair and the compression problems. It is a layered approach. There's no way when you have a compression issues in a district to fix those in one or two years. It is a multi-year always keep an eye on the ball kind of problem. Um you make it a lot harder for yourself if you don't present that information consistently, transparently, and in a way that your meet and confer teams can have real power to say, "Oh, this is it we need to bring this all up." Or we need to bring this all over. Or you know, have some um strategic ability to do that in a timely way. This year we ran pretty long with this data because it was just so extensive.
>> Motion carries. >> Next item. Sorry, I keep getting lost in here. Okay. B, discussion and possible approval of the trust FY2027 proposed rates of liability and workers compensation. Miss uh, >> I hope you had an opportunity. There was a um like information regarding um pools. If you're not familiar with the insurance pools, Babokver Unified School District has contracted with the trust since fiscal year 2001 through 2002 2001 2002 and joined the Alliance for Workers Compensation in 2012. The trust is a cooperative available to school districts across the state of Arizona um since it was established in 1986. The proposed rate for liability insurance for fiscal year 2027 is an overall increase of 3.16% or 11,526 um an increased compared to fiscal year 2026. The two largest increases are property coverage at 6.57% and general and professional liability at 8.5%. While there were additional increases in other areas, decreases in ADM employee counts and vehicles helped reduce the overall increase to 3.16%.
I mean, I overloaded that team and I really appreciate their patience and they're just honest feedback to me as we went through the process because I needed to show them how complex it was but give them choices at the same time. It is not me saying this is what we got to do. It is that team taking a look at all of the work and saying this process is is the right way you know, with with that support and that information. So I just I as always it's a challenge and we have lots of good conversations and talks but the one thing that we held really true to was that budget and how much bang for our buck could we get and help these groups and everything that they told the story for. So I'm really excited about this. I'm so glad that this request came forward.
The Alliance workers compensation coverage decreased by 23.37% due to lower payroll totals following the conclusion of ESRE uh payroll funded stipens in prior years. This decrease represents a savings of $14,282 for fiscal year 2027. Overall, the combined impact of the liability insurance on the Alliance workers compensation coverage results in a net savings of $2,756 for fiscal year 2027. Administration recommends that the Babok Unified School District Governing Board approve the proposed rates as presented for fiscal year 2027. A motion to approve uh the barbecue right school district governing board proposed rates uh proposed rates as presented for FY2027. Apologies. >> A second. >> Second by Miss Kathleen >> B. Hi, Ben. Okay, I'm having trouble with this this the board, but anyway, sorry. Um, was there another item for you? >> Yes. >> Which is the next one? >> Yes. discussion and possible approval of the Southwest food west excellence.
We we've been struggling to get a communication piece for this really tricky year and I think that one of the things that everybody's eyes go to is that point 79 and I want to reassure our staff that that is not that is the the piece that was left over and we're like we need to make sure that we have wall-to-wall all staff are being recognized in some fashion even as we take care of these problems. There will be more schedule repair. There will be more compression in the future but we did take a big chunk out of it this year. So when we look at our employee categories, one of the things that we're doing is getting to a consistent measure of what groups look like and we're basing that now and in the future to our salary schedules. Those groups are nice and clean.
>> No, I just like standing here. >> I know, right? Agreement. >> Okay. So, Baba Kiry has contracted with food management company to operate its school lunch program for the last 22 years. Districts can enter into agreements with the management company for a one-year period with up to one four one-year extensions or amendments. The multi-year agreements is allowable by our state procurement rules. Fiscal year 2027 is the second renewal amendment with uh SFB. Soft with food service excellent has reviewed food costs and the number of meals served. There is a 4% increase to the fixed price per meals um which is the breakfast, lunch, meal equivalent and snack. This will not impact our parents because BSD qualifies for C community eligibility provision on all students eat for free. Administration recommends that the BSD governing board accept the food service management company renewal with Southwest food service excellence to continue a man to manage the food service program for fiscal year 2027.
They stay consistent. We know exactly who is in that group and how much they cost. In the [clears throat] past we kind of made our own groups and I was having to do a lot of what let me pull these guys from over here and these guys from over here. That's how we created some of the um process One of the processes is to create the 1%. It's not to say we're going to do a 1%. It is a mechanism to just do some math so we know how much things cost and we can kind of gauge it. Um so in this case uh after um all of that work um the things that these percentages include uh are those schedule repairs which um were pretty extensive for our certified staff. Um last year we gave our certified staff a years of adjustment. Um it didn't translate as well as we would have liked it to because when you do a years of service adjustment, not everybody's going to get one.
