the coordination that it takes and it took today to hold New Friends Day. New Friends Day took students from all four elementary schools and shipped students to where they were going to be connected to next year uh to connect with new friends, new staff. Uh it was an incredible lift at really the hardest time of the year. Crunch time here as we get down to the end. >> Well, keep in mind a couple of buildings were packing too. Like it is just nuts what they pulled off today. But the coordination of all these different parties was incredible. The kids had a great time. Um you know, I know Marlene was able to hit a few buildings. I was over at Chapman at one point like the the kids had a great time and and what I had said to our administrative team is that this is a special touch that allows kids to step through the doors next year with just a little bit less anxiety and you know so hard to meet new people and go to new places but oh okay this kid's in my school now or that teacher or you know so it was really such a special day and I'm so incredibly ly proud of the work that our team did to pull it off.
Uh land buildings and improvements of buildings and equipment. Um other outgo payments to districts or charter schools, payments to county offices, those support our students and county programs. uh the transfer of that pass through revenue that is the uh career technical education incentive grant. We get 3.895 million in and we send 3.895 million out to the districts that are part of the consortium and other outgo transfers of indirect costs. Those are restricted programs and other funds that were allowed to take indirect costs to support the administration of those programs. And uh again a transfer inter interf fund transfer out to fund 40. Those are those RDA funds I spoke of earlier that flow in to fund one as a restricted resource. Now into next year so some assumptions u our ADA unfortunately um is trending down but it's this 12609 is a little bit higher for this next year because we use the three-year average.

And there's a small little uh sort of cutth through area that has just enough spaces for three three parking spaces. Um and that's what we're showing on on the first slide here, the first picture. Um that gets us halfway. And then we uh identified an area on the access road into the high school campus from Walden Street. On the second slide, the town forest is right across uh to the right here on this picture. You see Walden Street coming across uh on on the right. And as you turn up and the be center parking lot, um, one of the entrance exits is there on the left, but we've got identified a spot for three additional parking spaces. Um, this would allow us to comply with the special permit that we need to comply with. Um, and as I said, it it it um it's it's been reviewed by both the police and fire departments.
Um, you know, thousands of elementary students, we didn't lose anybody uh in the in the chaos. Um, and and I'm, you know, they all had a great time. So, I I am so appreciative of them and just wanted to pass that along. And along those lines, the last note, uh, Colonel Harvey Barnum obviously is the namesake for Barnum Elementary School. And one of the activities today at the Barnum New Friends Day was that students would vote on a new mascot. you know, no longer the Chapman Eagles are coming together as a new crew and um they had some nominations, but the overwhelming uh landslide victory went to uh the Barnum Bulldogs because the Bulldog is the official mascot of the Marine Corps. And so that was a really nice touch. Uh, and I I I know it has nothing to do with the fact that they're also going to be blue and white in Bulldogs and they should find it real easy to get swag around here.
That's the best of what we're able to use in our LCF revenue. With the FickMat LCFF calculator, the statutory COLA is funded at 2.87% and then the LCFF augmentation that the governor has proposed at 1.44% applied to the LCFF base grants only. It does not apply to many of the other programs. It doesn't apply to the transportation add-on or the TK add-on within the LCFF. Um, unfortunately what the governor has done, it's well, it's unfortunately the way he's done it. It's not an unfortunate program. I think it's an incredible program for our employees, the paid pregnancy disability leave. There are absolutely costs that will come along with that. But what the governor did is he called his augmentation a super cola and then mandated a program to be paid for within a COLA. Colas are designed for districts to continue exactly what they were doing the year prior with a cola.

They're they concur this is a reasonable plan. Uh and uh as I said, the these six spaces will not disrupt any of the current student parking. I know all the student parking spaces are all numbered and uh we certainly didn't want to disrupt all that numbering. Um these can be numbered or not depending what what you want to do with them. Uh but it doesn't disrupt the current student parking. U it will have no impact on imperous surfaces at all. Uh, and as I said, it will allow us to devote all of our resources to building a a terrific uh uh diving facility for the town. So, that's the proposal. We would uh appreciate your support of that and that will allow us to move forward to the permitting process uh finish up our design work and move forward on with a permit application sometime in the next several weeks.
That's blue and white bulldog swag. >> Baby, >> it just, you know, happy happy uh it's a coincidence, but so that's it for my report, >> comments, questions for the superintendent. Dr. Harrian. >> Um, just because people have been asking me, can you just make um your brief comment on when the public might be able to uh tour the schools? >> Sure. Thanks for that. And uh the uh date for when we can tour the schools and get we really want to get the public in there. We want to show off um the fruit of their labor and their commitment as a community. And uh that's really contingent on making sure we take care of business. Uh in the first part that we have a certificate of occupancy that we can actually go into the building. The second part is that we are prepared to run school.
Um, new programs don't come as colas. New programs come as mandates with funding in support of them. And I know the uh Senate and the Assembly are in support of the paid pregnancy disability leave, which again is a great program, but I think they're still um hashing out how to actually fund it. Um whether it's going to be funded through this augmentation or through a different mandate, different funding source. So our LCFF this year we were about 190 million. Next year, we're projecting about 199 million of LCFF funds. Federal revenues, we're budgeting a little over 11.3. Again, a small portion of that unrestricted, mostly on the restricted side. Again, that's special education and our title programs. State revenues, we're budgeting a little over 51 a.5 million. Again, the lion share of that is restricted with your lottery, restricted lottery, ELO, Prop 28, block, the block grants.

Just to clarify, is this the only thing standing between getting to that next stage, getting to permitting? >> Well, it's certainly one of them. I mean, we we have to once we get this done and know that we've been able to find spots to to satisfy uh the requirements, uh then we can finish up the actual design work. >> But we we have, you know, we had a good head start on on that. uh uh because it's fundamentally a very similar plan to what we had last summer. >> So, has the timeline shifted at all? >> Sorry. >> Has the timeline shifted since uh we spoke last summer? >> Has the timeline shifted? Um that's an interesting question. Uh we're not really in control of the timeline. The uh the planning board and the zoning board really are going to determine what the what the timeline is.
As much as I'd love to have a tour, we want to make sure that school uh preparedness comes first and we're able to do that. So, uh, as soon as we have a a good sense of when that would be, I would imagine it would be, uh, late August at the earliest and early, uh, to midepptember at the latest that we would be able to to bring people in. But we will communicate that out, um, through all of our social media channels, Parent Square, everything uh, as soon as we we have that. >> Thank you. >> Sure, >> Miss Fitzgerald. Um, well, congratulations on a successful Friends Day. That sounds really fantastic. Great job. Um, >> are there other kind of engagements or connection points over the summer plan whether through this? I I remember hearing about that and I wasn't sure if they were formally through, you know, Chester Public Schools or if they were more PTO focused or both or all.
and we are assuming receipt of the governor's proposed student support professional development block grant um at the 937 per ADA per school services. That's at the governor's proposed level of 5 billion of funding for that particular grant. The Senate in their budget proposal proposed a level of funding at 6.5 billion. And the assembly has proposed somewhere in between five and six and a half billion, but also proposed a different um funding structure to fund more towards school districts with higher unduplicated pupil counts. So, we'll have to see where that one lands as the state approves their budget. as again we'll have to see where the COLA and augmentation land as the state works through and approves their budget. Again, on the revenue side, we're assuming receipt of the T key, I'm sorry, the TK through3 gradespan adjustment revenue and the TK add-on. Again, that add-on only receives the statutory collet of 2.87%.

uh we we will have to we we hope to be able to submit um an application to them uh this month. Um and looking at their calendar, it looks like our first meeting opportunity with them would be about six weeks out from the time that we submit the application. Um, then there's a 20 or 30-day waiting period after they approve it for appeals. Uh, we'll wait for that. Uh, and then we would probably begin construction sometime in the early part of the fall be my guess. >> Well, what a wonderful way to really honor Macy's life and to give a gift to the town. I mean, we're so grateful for the work that the foundation's done and for everyone that's contributed to it and we are definitely looking forward to partnering with the town to really make this happen.
>> Yeah, they do they do them in concert really. So, uh, tonight there was a, uh, PTO sponsored like new friends, parents and community night at Highland. Uh, other schools have had that as well. Um, I think most of our schools tried to get it in before the end of the school year knowing that the summer can be difficult with vacations and wanted to try and be inclusive. Um, but I wouldn't be shocked if other things pop up over the summer. >> I I'm I'm not aware of many scheduled. Are you? Are you talking about the the open house at Norton? >> Um, yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. >> I just wanted to highlight something that Jod Rooden had done over at Norton and that was they had host families to host new families coming in and so everybody met their partner family and they had a really nice event.
It does not receive that augmentation. We're funding our routine restricted maintenance at 3% and of course we are also uh expecting receipt of the transportation add-on within the LCFF. Again, it's not listed on there, but that only receives the statutory cola of 2.87%. So on the expenditure side, of course, we account for step and column for all units, any negotiated impacts to salary and health and welfare benefits. And just to remind everybody with the transition to CalPERS effective July 1, 2025, we had an open enrollment in the spring of 25 and then we had an open enrollment in the fall of 25 for a January 126 effective date because Kalpers is a calendar year benefit program. So we'll have a a we'll have an open enrollment this fall for a January 1227 effective date, but Kalpers will publish their rates next month. So we'll have a good idea of what those rates are going into that open enrollment and we'll be able to look at our budget and see what kind of adjustments might need to be made.

>> Thank Thank you. We promise you we'll do our best job to produce a, as I said, a first class uh facility that you and the town will be proud of. That's that's our objective. if you can help us with allowing us to stripe these six spaces, that'll be a huge hurdle that we will clear. >> So, what are the next steps? >> Yeah, so I've been involved in this for weeks now. So, we vetted these spots. It's totally fine. >> Okay. >> By the high school. Um, no impact really at all. In fact, some are already had parking. >> Yeah. Park and our maintenance team can stripe them tomorrow if you approve it. So, it's pretty straightforward if we're all on the same page. >> Okay. But we're not voting on this. >> Um, well, if it I think it we have one more meeting, but it might be best to vote on it tonight unless someone wants to wait till the next meeting, >> but it seems like to me it seems very straightforward and with the approval from police and fire and the district and everyone saying that this seems to be okay.
