So, we're looking to recommmit. Uh, educators, you know, when we start out with something and we're new to something, I think we're really good at being intentional about it and then sometimes we forget every four years there's a new group of students in front of us that don't have that foundation. So, uh, under well-being and mental health, you see that we're looking to recommmit ourselves, um, to the good work of PBIS. The way we're going to monitor that is we're really looking as a school to get a cadence um with the panorama survey data. Um we really feel like you know we've had the panorama in place for a couple years. Um and we don't necessarily have but we will next year through the school improvement goal. You know any sense of what group is looking at it? What group is monitoring it? what group is looking at areas of growth and areas of needs improvement that we might have and how is all of that panorama data tied to the school improvement goal.

And so they um numbers have been transposed. And we don't want to make assumptions that what we are referencing is exactly where you found the information. And so, um, I'm not saying we're not answering, but I do feel like in in any request, um, we should point back to the reference document and where it is located.

So those are two quick highlights that I wanted to share. U both I feel like are paralleled in the work Denisa Jackson um and UDL. >> Thank you. Anybody have questions? >> Thanks. Thanks, Justin. The the the I'm recalling the 2024 25 and the most recent panorama data um and specifically the area looking at sense of belonging. Um I recall numbers 24 25 or low this year some recall is 38% number where the uh families concerned about that the school saw or understood their child's culture and their child's background with those two numbers prior was 19%. How can you speak to tracking over time and looking to grow that number? >> Sure. That was the parent survey. >> Uh the student sense of belonging was actually quite high this past one, but I'll answer the question focused on uh the families. There is mention um underneath the skull of doing more work partnering with families.

>> Yeah. >> So, moving on to number four. The question, are you projecting an approximately 8 million spending deficit for the 2526 school year? Yes. As I reviewed in the presentation, the proposed budget adoption forms the estimated actuals as of May currently estimates an unrestricted deficit spend of 7.5 million and a restricted deficit spend of 400,000 for an estimated combined deficit spend of approximately 7.9 million. Number five, why does F2B9740 restricted reserves change throughout the school year? And that's in reference to a um line item on the SAX forms in the components of the ending fund balance restricted reserves. Um the projected ending fund balance will be updated at each reporting period as revenues and expenditures are updated because of course the activity up in the top with revenues and expenditures has an impact on the ending fund balance. Question number six, how much are you projecting revenues and expenditures to increase in the 2526 school year due to previously encumbered and unspent funds?

Um, you know, I'm not sure if you've ever heard, but a lot of educators who are intentional about doing work such as this, if that work is not shared and partnered with the families, um, we have very little hope. Um, so we've been really more thoughtful and deliberate in the playbook work this year. um and sending home, you know, I think five or six days before the scenarios that we're doing with, you know, gosh, all I can say is a, you know, a packet of how we're asking parents to review the scenario, you know, the questions that are going to be asked of the students by the student leader. And all of that was a lot of work behind the scenes. Um but we've seen a shift very positive shift this year in the playbook. Um and we really contribute that shift to that partnering with the bands.

Um the the goal of the estimated actuals report is act is to as accurately as possible reflect the spending for the current fiscal year in establishing the beginning fund balance for the upcoming budget year. Ultimately, some adjustments will absolutely occur between the estimated actuals and the unodudit actuals report prepared in the fall and reported to the board in September. Number seven, why are we projecting a 4% increase in teacher and certificated pupil support salaries? The increased costs are due to projected due to projected costs associated with step and column advancement and the salary schedule increase and compression approved by the board on March 5th, 2026. Number eight. >> Yeah, I'm so so sorry to interrupt real quick with the step-in column and then the um you're talking about the 1% and then the 1% salary compression, correct? >> Yeah, the 1%. Yes.

Um I go back five years ago when we received um that grant from conquered ed fund in doing the PBIS work. Again, we were teaching the core values in our advisory program. Um, but I can't actually recall any sort of work or communication that was being done with families. Um, and I think that's the piece that's really highlighted here. And the that was really highlighted in the work that we did with Dr. Jackson as well when we kind of brought together a sense of frustration that you know um when we hit panorama uh data that we seem like PBIS our core value should have grown but we're seeing it stagnant or we're not seeing growth um and we were like you know we need to do more um and bringing the families in um listening to them but also sharing with them, you know, the instruction and foundational work that we're doing with their kids and asking them to do it at home.

Within the major object code 3000s, many different expenses occur related to benefits. retirement contributions, health and welfare, workers comp, statutory contributions related to employee salaries, for example, Medicare, disability insurance, social security, etc. Many of these are calculated as a percentage of salary, so will fluctuate as salary expenses fluctuate. The health and welfare costs are tied to participation and will also fluctuate from year to year and are also affected by the switch to Kalpers effective July 2025 and will further be affected by the uh upcoming open enrollment and new rates as of January 1, 2027. >> So if I could just ask clarifying question on that. So that would cause the um the cost to go up correct. So, >> well, currently you're talking about specifically health and welfare benefits in the Kalpers program. Our teachers um negotiated a increase to their cap effective January 1, 2027, equivalent to the 90% of the Kaiser tiered rate.

Um, so I get that as well. you know, attending a music concert, you know, last week at middle school. I really think we need we can start using audiences like that, you know, um, as one grade level band was moving off and another grade level band was kind of transitioning in, I was imagining that could be a time where, you know, a student leader gets on a mic and said, you know, says something about the playbook. >> Yeah. um because that is I think where we have to start getting creative um and you know what I'm mentioning right now which is a place where some families feel a little bit overwhelmed.

So, if the Kaiser rate increases, then yes, the district contribution will increase, which will mean increased costs in health and welfare. However, if the Kaiser rate goes down, highly unlikely, then of course costs would decrease. But we also have to take into consideration changes in participation. We may have singles that got married. We may have couples that had a baby. So there's all sorts of variables that contribute to fluctuation in health and welfare costs. As of January 1, 2027, the classified bargaining unit and our unrepresented unit do not have any cap increase currently negotiated. So the so the total cost from before we transferred over to current projected costs being about the same despite the raises despite the change over. >> Was there a question? >> Oh yes. So that was my question. So why is it why is it flush? Why is there no even though we gave raises even though um >> we have fewer people?
