001All right, there we go. All right, call us to order and flag salute. >> Ready salute. I pledge algiance to the flag of the one indiv. There was no action taken in close session. Okay, first off we have our presentation starting with G youth baseball. All right, thank you. Some exciting news for the G 8U all-star team and coach Richard Savage. Thank you for coming tonight. We understand that you guys made it to the World Series and went all the way to New Jersey. Wow. Would you guys like to come up to the stage here? Maybe coach or to the podium and tell us a little bit about it. Yeah, >> I know, right? >> Over here. >> Okay. Good evening, council. Thank you for uh for having us and um allowing uh giving us
002the recognition and allowing us to kind of tell our story of the summer. How much time do we have? >> Quick. So, uh, this is our, uh, well, there's other kids that are have football practice tonight, baseball, other other activities. So, um, but these four are part of our G, uh, youth baseball 8U all-star team. Um, so started out early summer. Um, we had our pre-state tournament in Elkrove, Lagona. Uh we won that tournament, then went to state tournament, got second place there, and then we um had a little break, so we went down to the Bay Area, won a tournament down there, and we were fortunately hosting the regional tournament this year. So we're part of the Cal Ripken, so Pacific Northwest um region. So there was two teams from Hawaii, there was um
003team from Arizona, teams from the Central Valley. Um so all over the place. So it's kind of a a big deal. So, we were fortunate enough to host it first of all and then we ended up winning the regional tournament as well and uh in pretty dramatic fashion. So, it was it was real exciting and it we knew where the AU World Series was going to be and it was in uh Cherry Hill, New Jersey. So, southern New Jersey and as coaches were kind of talking like a New Jersey, wouldn't that be fun? Just kind of like ah whatever. And then we're looking at each other like that would be pretty fun. So we we needed a certain amount of players. So we put it out to the parents. All the parents were on board.
004So all 12 um all 12 kids were able to go with parents. So that was good. And within about three weeks we raised what 40 a little over $40,000 in three weeks. Um which was amazing. So we were thinking we broke it down. It was going to be you know4500 roughly per player and with one parent. So, we were thinking, okay, if we can just, you know, get some of that cost covered, we'd be good to go. But they were still coming out of pocket and with no guarantee on the back end of of any kind of reimbursement. So, we fundraised. The community was super supportive um all the way from, you know, grandparents to neighbors, uh friends and family, businesses. Uh we did fundraisers. We did one at um at Back Alley Brew House,
005and it was just it was amazing. We set up a a a GoFundMe and that brought in a lot of money. So, I mean, it just kind of reaffirmed the fact that it it went well. Fundraising went well. All the parents were on board and the kids earned it. That was the big thing. It was, you know, you had to win to get that invite. So, it wasn't just kind of a a pleasure tournament and let's go play on the East Coast. So, it all just came together and it was a great summer. Um the kids played so well all summer. um they kind of spoiled us as coaches. We get we got used to winning a lot. Uh so, you know, on those days where we didn't win or whatever, it's just like, okay,
006oh yeah, they're eight years old. We'd go back and forth and well, so and so didn't do this and we didn't do this and then it's like, ah yeah, they're eight. That's right. Um but but they were great. They're just super competitive and they're all good kids, too. I mean, there's no discipline problems, no attitudes. um just you know just a great group of kids and uh you know we all grew up playing baseball never got anywhere close to qualifying for a World Series or any kind of advanced stuff like that. So I think they made some lifetime memories and uh yeah it was just a great summer great summer. So we just wanted to you know thank you guys for having us here and you know once again just thanks to to the community
007to everyone who donated five bucks 10 bucks. I mean, it's just I don't I don't know. It's times are tight these days for a lot of people and I know for a fact some people that that donated that, you know, it was a big deal to do it and they chose to do that. So, we're just just blown away. Just absolutely blown away. So, can I introduce these kids real quick? >> Please do. >> Step up. State your name. >> My name's Gunnar. school. >> My name's Brady Moringo Ranch. >> Uh, get your name. >> Aiden James Elv Lake Canyon. >> There you go.

008was hey go we go to school for 3 days and then you're off for you know doing the independent study thing. So that was great too. All the teachers were super accommodating as well. Um uh we've done independent study before and it's you know you still have to do the homework and everything. Um Brady didn't have as much homework this time so that was that was really appreciated. And it was still of course came down to flying in on Sunday and he's still working on it Sunday night. So it was what it was. But Oh, one more. What's your Come on.

So I asked him if he had any thoughts or advice for you. So first he wanted me to tell you congratulations. And then he said he wanted three things. Continue to work really hard, continue to study really hard, and cherish this moment because you will remember this for the rest of your life. So that's from him. Thank you guys. Right. So, our next presentation tonight are students from Macaffrey Middle School representing our FFA program and we have Mr. Crouch. Oh, welcome

Good evening board members. My name is Jaden Medina and I'm an I am an active FFA member. I wanted to speak to about the activities that we have planned for the fall of our chapter.

I would also like to thank our new principal, Miss Grooms, for her support of our program and to you as we continue to develop our program. Thank you. And I would I would now like to offer the board the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have. >> What did you say your position was? Did you say sentinel? Okay. Okay. >> Thank you. you. >> Thank you. >> Great job. Thank you for sharing with us. >> Okay. Next, we have our board meeting protocol. Thank
015you. I will review that our meeting is being recorded. It's open to the public and being broadcast live through Zoom teleconference for public comments. They are three minutes per agenda item and they will be timed and the board shall limit the total time for public comment for each agenda item to 20 minutes. With board consent, the board president may increase or decrease the time allowed for public comment. And to make a public comment, the cards are right at the door and that would go to Miss Bach. Email public comment is to the superintendent email address 24 hours before the board meeting um would be posted with the agenda on our website. We did not receive um written public comments for tonight. Uh board voting in connectivity. Each motion will be followed by roll call and
016should a board member attend the meeting remotely or lose connectivity um the meeting will be delayed by 5 minutes and uh regular meeting shall be adjourned by 10:30. >> And do we have any public comments miss? >> No, there are no public comments and reports. >> All right, thank you. I will start with our first report. Um it's an annual item related to temporary athletic team coaches or sports coordinators. Um we need to certify or bring to the board the coaches or coordinators that are CPR and first aid certified. And this is the list of employees or volunteers that are currently certified. Um we will be bringing more to you as more become certified in October and also probably in the spring when the spring sports start, we will have more coaches that come on
017board. But these are who we have and we will send this into CDE. Any questions or comments on that? >> Like for each school each school needs that >> Yes. Mo Macaffrey needs the most. Um but we have a coordinator for each school site except Moringo. We're still trying to find somebody for Morango. Um, all of our coordinators are CPR certified and then it just really depends on the sport if they have to recruit a coach. Um, most of the times they do. Um, the elementary has a harder time sometimes finding a coach. So, yeah. And then our next report um is related to student enrollment. Want to give you an update. Typically um this time of year in mid to end of September enrollment starts to stabilize and so this will be um our
018last really update or report for enrollment but we are continuing to trend the in the direction that we want to we're continuing to go up. We're now up 22 students from the end of June of 2025. And so that's a good thing. And there's a breakdown for you of um the school sites and where we're seeing the numbers go up and then we'll move on to LCA Gold 2, bike and scooter safety. Um I wanted to thank the G Police Department for really working with our schools, our students. Um they're doing safety presentations this month at all of our school sites. And they also have been actively educating students um talking with students that they see that are not wearing helmets. Um talking with students that are um riding either an ebike or an e
019scooter that might not be legal. Um, and the police department did a really great job um, creating a a kind of a one-page guide for our administrators, for staff, and our parents that we did share with all parents on what's street legal and what's not. Um, we we learned a lot. We learned that the e scooters, you have to have a driver's license to ride those e scooters. And so, um, I think the beginning of the school year were before we started educating, um, and and pushing this information out, we probably had anywhere from about 10 to 15 ebikes, ecooters in the bike racks at Macaffrey. Um, I think we're down to yesterday there was four. I think there were four what we considered ebike and two ebikes and I think two e scooters. So,
020I think the message is getting out that you do need to have a driver's license to ride those. And um they're reporting too that they are seeing an increase in helmets. More students are wearing their helmets. Um the police department has also secured some free helmets. And so they've just asked that our principles reach out to our school resource officer if there is a need. They want to connect with the student kind of one-on-one and give them the helmet and talk to them about bike safety. And so our principles know that um if a child needs a helmet or a parent reaches out um we've messaged that to parents a couple different times that if they are in need of a helmet for their student to let their school know and we'll make sure they
021get one. And so um you know right now the G Police Department is not citing or they're not giving citations. They're um they're educating educating and getting the awareness out there. So, we pro provided back up for you a couple different documents that the G Police Department provided for us. The second document, the guide, um, is what we did, um, share with with all parents, all families. >> Question. I don't know if you even know this or not. Yeah. You know, cuz you see the e scooters like all all the major cities, you know, they have them for, you know, free. You use your credit card and stuff. Um, I let my kids use an e- scooter because it didn't say one thing about a driver's license on on it at all. >> I know.
022I know. I was shocked. I didn't realize that you needed a driver's license. Um, yeah. As long as you have a credit card, you can get those in a lot of the larger cities. And I >> Yeah, it's a California law. >> Yeah. Yeah. I don't it must not be enforced is what I'm thinking. Especially if you see them all over the cities and you can kind of jump on them if you have a card. I don't know if they think well if you're under 16 or if you don't have a driver's license maybe you don't have a credit card. I >> I don't know. >> Yeah. >> I'll just say I think the training's been well received. I know that my kids come home and basically educated me on some of the things he
023learned at Macaffrey in regards to the e- scooters and the bikes and all that. So thought like it was obviously impactful. He really learned something from it. And also point out that I know the mayor Sean Farmer, he did a podcast about 3 weeks ago on this whole topic. He had a police officer on. They went over the whole thing from like start to finish everything even in talking about school safety and accidents and stuff like that. So I think that'd be a really good resource for parents to look at and watch that if you want to also educate yourself on what's going on. >> Yeah. Any other questions or comments on that? Okay, I will move on to um let's see measure H facility report. The board asked for an update on this and
024so um I wanted to just do give you a a brief summary of the purpose of the oversight committee. Um the purpose of the citizens oversight committee is really to u monitor how we're spending the bond funds. Not directing how to spend but they are they're monitoring um the expenditures. They will review warrants. They will review our um audit that will an annual audit. We also review um projects and and things like that. We walk the sites. We've had one oversight committee. We had that in May and we had the meeting at Valley Oaks and so we showed them the current administration building and plans for um expanding that building. Um our next oversight committee meeting is actually next week and we are going to have it at fair site so we could show them
025some potential um modernization and new school building where that would be if um we move forward with that. Um, I included for you also from the ballot language and the bond documents the project list of how we can use these funds. Um, really to increase emergency communication, security, cameras, lighting, door locks, fencing, safety systems, leaky roofs, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, uh, replacing portables, uh, athletic fields, including play fields, reconfiguring parking lots. Um this is some of the list of the the projects that were listed in the bond documents and then um an update on projects to date. And how we determined these projects um really was based on need and age of school and based on the feedback that we received from stakeholders last year when we were updating the facility master plan. Um these the
026plans or the feedback we got from our DAC district advisory committee we got from school site councils, ELACs, DAXs, um different parent groups, our principles talked with leadership team, teachers at the school site. Um got a lot of good feedback um for these bond funds. A large chunk of the funds will be spent at Valley Oaks and Fairite, which of course are our two oldest schools in the district. um expanding the administration building was even on the wish list with Measure K funds. We just, you know, didn't get there. And so, one of the big plans um on the list is to expand that administration building um at Valley Oaks, add a genderneutral restroom. Um at Greer, one of the projects that we completed over the summer was replacing the multi-purpose flooring that's already been
027completed. um fair site, a new TK building for classrooms, restructuring the parking lot, um remodeling the current student bathroom there, removing three old portables, and then River Oaks. This was completed this summer. We had to completely redo the playing field out there. It's been in bad shape for many, many years. um once it's the grading is done, I think we're still waiting for the the grass to come in, but I think we will have lots of um organizations that will want to use that now that um the the field is actually usable. And then Macaffrey replacing all of the HVAC units. So, those are those are projects that have either been completed or are in the works. And then um some potential upcoming projects would be restructuring parking lots at Greer and River Oaks, adding
028single stall gender neutral restrooms to River Oaks, Greer, and Lake Canyon, upgrading play structures, adding shade structures, and updating classroom door hardware um and locking mechanisms. >> How many people are on the oversight committee? >> We have, I believe, seven. Seven, I >> think seven. Yeah. Any other questions or comments about measure H or projects? >> No. All right. >> We ready for school calendars? >> Yes. So, our last report tonight would be school calendars. I will report for a couple of principles tonight. Um, I'll start with Fairite Elementary. Um, on Tuesday the 7th, they are having a family math night at 5:30. And then also they are having their fall festival on Friday the 24th at 5:00. And then we will move on to Greer Pencil McLaren. >> Oh, it's already on. Very nice.
029Thank you all for having us. As always, we love sharing what's going on at our schools. Uh also on Friday, October 21st, we're having our first major fundraiser put on by our Mustang parent club, which we're very excited to partner with them on our colorun jogathon, which I'm always a fan of because it's getting kids out and active uh in their school community with families involved. Uh it's an event where uh of course the kids are going to have fun, but they're also going to explore fitness. Uh and there's some fundraising involved. Very similar to other jogathons you've probably heard about is kids go out there and get sponsors and uh see if they can get some laps in and uh they can do it the per lap rate or just a flat fee. They'll
030need to turn those packets in on October 9th to make sure that we have those ready for the event itself on the 24th. Uh they're going to jog if they can walk if they need to sprint for half a lap if that's what they've got into them and try to get in as many laps as possible. Uh we've got family involved, friends, neighbors to sponsor. Uh and u I think they're going to have to stop me from running myself because I am an avid runner. So I was very excited that our first event with our parent club is running centric. Love to hear it. Uh the second one we have is on Halloween. We are revitalizing our annual fall festival much like other schools are. Uh we're going to have booths and games, candy, prizes,
031costumes because we're on Halloween there. Uh and lots and lots of fun. We are very mindful about what's going on on Halloween in the community. I hear that there's a football game that night. The city is also sponsoring a movie night. So ours is during the day uh so folks can uh engage with that. Our families are invited to come and have fun with their kiddos on our campuses and also of course as always opportunities for volunteerism. We love to have parents come out and be part of our events to help them run smoothly. So that's it for Greer. >> Thank you very much. >> Oh question. >> Yes. >> What's practice? >> Oh footsol is uh an indoor soccer that is our um intramural sports program. Stacy Finley, our PE teacher, is sort of
032the district coordinator. Uh, and it's an amazing way for elementary kiddos to get sports experience, which they typically don't get until middle school soul. It's a it's really fun. Indoor soccer, >> right, Lake Canyon, Miss Gutierus. Thank you. Um, in October, we have a lot of fun events. The first one we have is on October 8th, and that is our first house picnic for the year. Uh students get to eat kind of a picnic on the grounds, but this one is a little different from our other campuses. This is by their house, their house system. So, it's kind of a community building activity. Kindergarteners get to sit with sixth graders, get to sit with fourth graders who are all in the same house, and they dress in their house color, and it's really just a
033great opportunity for them to share and get to know each other. Um, we of course have parent conference week. On the week of the 27th through the 31st, we will have our red ribbon week and we will have different events for each day. And then we wrap up that month on October 30th with one of our longstanding community partners. That is the science alliance and they are coming to do a mad scientist show where they do a bunch of experiments and the kids get to watch things blow up and boil over. So, we would love if any of you would like to join us on October 30th at 8:10 in the multi-purpose room. All right. Thank you. And I will report for Morango tonight. We'll invite you to their annual trunk or treat on Wednesday
034the 29th. And that starts at 4:30 and that's in the the parking lot at Moringo Ranch. Next we will um River Oaks, Miss Rogers. >> Okay. Good evening. So we have quite a few fun events going on at River Oaks on this week. We just had our this actually to on Friday we will have our color run um raising money from our PTO and they're excited that they have their shirts and they're very excited. The kids are very excited. It's going to be from 12:30 to 2:30 this week. Um, we also have our fall festival just like a lot of the other sites on October 17th and ours starts at uh 5:00 p.m. and that's put on by our PTO committee. Um, and parent volunteers, lots of community involvement with that. The neat thing that
035we had this week was we did get to have that bike assembly this week with officer Walters and off officer Castanada coming out and they did a really wonderful job and we actually had a student that had an an accident at the beginning of the month and the mom was able to come out and bring the helmet that saved his life and so it was and she got to speak and with Walter's support and they were able to show that helmet and the importance of wearing a helmet and um it was a very moving and powerful moment. moment for all of those kids that got to witness that assembly. So, it was it was wonderful. Um it was very informative and it was a great if you if you get to go see one of
036those, it's a very good presentation that they do. Okay. Um, I will also speak for Valley Oaks and um, we have the we have our PTO event of the color run on um, Friday, October 3rd and we are we're going to have Kona Ice coming out next month and then we all we're having the football games or the indoor soccer games which our kids are absolutely loving at Valley Oaks at all the sites really and so there there's definitely some competitive edge happening right now. So, um, but yeah, we have a lot of great things planned at Valley Oaks and River Oaks. >> Thank you, McAffrey. Miss Troll. >> All right. Um, can you hear me? Okay. Um, this Friday, if you guys are free, we're having our parent lunch. You're welcome to come join
037us on bringing some food and some blankets and sit down with us and have fun with us. But next month, our kiddos are going to Washington DC. It's been a long year traveling and planning for that trip. So, that's going to be exciting. We also have the parent teacher conferences with everybody else, but we also start um collecting macaroni and cheese for the Thanksgiving holiday that the community comes together. Each site has a different food. We or mac and cheese. Um we have a lot of sports going on. Tryyouts for basketball are coming up. And then again, we are also celebrating the Red Ribbon Week at the end of the week. Thank you very much. It's getting busy. >> Next, we have the consent calendar. Okay, I just wanted to highlight we do have a
038donation for Greer Elementary. Walmart donated school supplies valued at $4,500. And then I just wanted to also highlight um we have the fundraisers for the year and the consent calendar for each of the school sites mainly put on by parent parent clubs. >> Was there anything else? >> That was it >> on the consent. >> That was it to highlight. >> To highlight. Okay. Can I get a motion to approve 242638? >> I'll make the motion. I'll >> thank you. I have a motion from Wesley Kaggel to approve the consent calendar item number 242638 seconded by Matthew Ward. Katherine Harper >> I. >> Casey Rabo boy >> I. >> Annette Kunzie >> I. >> Thank you. The motion carries unanimously. >> 242.640 public hearing of resolution number three, the district resolution regarding sufficiency of instructional
039materials for 2526. >> There are two parts to this item. Um, they're brought to you each year. >> My microphone. I get it. >> Forget about that. Sorry. Two parts to the item. brought to you each year. Education code 60119 specifies that the board hold a public hearing in regards to ensuring that all of our students have the sufficient textbooks and instructional materials they need. Um so we're asking the board to open and close the public hearing regarding textbooks and instructional material sufficiency. It's open and we're going to close the public hearing. Okay. The second part is requesting the board approve the resolution that's included in your binder. um certifying that the G joint union elementary school district is in compliance with education code 60119 which ensures that all students have textbooks and instructional materials
040aligned with the content standards and are consistent um with the cycles of curriculum frameworks approved by the state board of education. >> Can I get a motion to approve? I'll make the motion. >> I'll second. >> Thank you. Have a motion from Casey Raoy to approve item number 242641. Seconded by Annette Kunzie. Katherine Harper. >> I. Matthew Ward. >> I. >> Wesley Kaggel. >> I. >> Thank you. The motion carries unanimously. >> 242.642. Board consideration of approval of the job description of mental health therapist. >> All right. Thank you. So, we are bringing a new job description to the board for your approval. It is the job title of a mental health therapist. This position will provide counseling, consultation, treatment, and case management and support for students and families in both general and special education
041programs. The clinician will collaborate with staff, parents, community agencies to address students social, emotional, behavioral needs within our MTSS and PBIS frameworks. This new job description aligns with the licensing requirements needed to submit claims as set forth by the Department of Healthcare Services and the CBH statewide multi-payer fee schedule. This position would be funded through a grant that we have received to build a district capacity. We have provided the job description and a salary schedule. >> Board uh approval is recommended. >> My question, what site would this the mental health therapist be at? District office or a school site? >> River Oaks. >> At River Oaks. >> Yeah. How many years is the grant or is there is it just a one lump sum we've received? It's three years. So we would be able to
042support this position for three years. And the idea being with the license that's required for this position, we can bill or get reimbursed for services so we can build our own in-house capacity to support these positions. Okay. >> Any other questions? Can I get a motion to approve? >> I'll make the motion. >> I'll second. >> Thank you. I have a motion from Matthew Ward to approve item number 242642. Seconded by Casey Ra boy. Katherine Harper >> I. >> Annette Kunzie >> I. >> Wesley Kaggel >> I. >> Thank you. The motion carries unanimously. >> 242.643 643 board consideration of approval of substitute teacher pay increase. >> Hello. So in order to support efforts in attracting retaining highqualified substitute teachers, the district conducted a review of substitute teacher pay rates across surrounding districts such such
043as Elgrove, Loi, anything around our area. Um based on the research, the following daily rates are recommended. Um what we found is um many districts increase their rate after they sub for longer periods and one of the one of the things that we've noticed in the past year at the end of the fiscal year we notice less sub picking up the shifts. So we're trying to find a medium ground where it attracts subs to continue to sub with us. we retain them and hopefully they just come with us and um we won't have those shortages around March, April, May. Um this is a way to just attract them and retain them um long term. Um so we could see for daily there is no change for daily it become ones a month or so on
044for multiple days 15 plus um there is um a change after 60 days from day 61 to 90 days um it's 260 and if you sub for us more than 91 days in the school year it's 280. It resets every fiscal year >> and we uh applied no change for the long term and then we're offering this option for our retirees as well. So hopefully we'll see um coverage all year long. So this is for conse multiple days. It doesn't matter if like they could be in first grade one day, they could be in seventh grade the next day. Okay. Yes. Yeah. Exactly. >> It doesn't have to be consecutive either. Okay. Anything else? >> Can I get a motion? I'll make the motion to approve 242 643. >> I'll second. >> Thank you. I
045have a motion from Katherine Harper to approve item number seconded by Annette Kunzie. Casey Rabo >> I. >> Matthew Ward >> I. >> Wesley Kaggel >> I. >> Thank you. The motion carries unanimously. Board consideration of approval of the district's actuarial study of retirey health liabilities under GISB7475 for fiscal year ending June 30th 2025. So the district's most recent full actial valuation was completed last year in June 2024. For the fiscal year of 2025, the district relied on the rollover data. Um so there's ED code that that allows us to use a rollover. So every two years we do a full evaluation and um we use the same data from the retirey sheet to conduct our liability cost. What is that used for? Commonly asked. We use that information for our audit report that's going
046to be brought up in December. it it's something that we present in our balance sheet saying what is our district's liability for retirees and long um noting how long will the district have to pay um during this rollover the OPED retirement liability is $6.1 million and then the pay as you go method which we we were doing the 1660 86 165,000 that is a method that we've been doing however we recently approved approved um our trusts in May and opened up our OPED trust account where we um deposited $100,000 out of our OPED fund. Meaning next year you'll start seeing a decrease in liability because we started investing those funds to be able to have sufficient funds in the long term for our retirey benefits. Any questions? Can I get a motion to approve? I'll
047make the motion to approve. >> I'll second. >> Thank you. I have a motion from Wesley Kaggel to approve item number 242644 seconded by Matthew Ward. Katherine Harper >> I. >> Casey Ra boy >> I. >> Annette Kunie >> I. Thank you. The motion carries unanimously. >> 242645 board consideration of approval of resolution number four. And we'll have to explain that the G the GAN limit. >> GAN limit. Yes. So the GAN limit is intended to constraint the growth in state and local government spending by year to year and changes in expenditures um to inflation. So this is a routine resolution that we present to you when we closed our books. Um it would it reflects how much we ex our expenditures were last year and how much we're projected to to have next year.
048and it basically declares the appropriations for the both fiscal years and it does not exceed the limitations imposed in proposition 4. Um the calculations are automatically computed and in our on audited actuals and we use that information as part of the gant limit form. Um we attach both the resolution and the GAN limit form from our unodited actuals. questions. I'll make a motion to approve. >> I'll second. >> Thank you. Have a motion from Katherine Harper to approve item number 242645 seconded by Annette Kunzie. Casey Ra >> I. >> Matthew Ward >> I. >> Wesley Kaggel >> I. >> Thank you. The motion carries unanimously. >> 242.6 646 board consideration of approval of the 2425 unodudited actuals. Pop it up in a bit. Thank you, So, it's that time of year. Um, so our unodudited
049actuals are for last fiscal year. I know we started this year already. So, what the unodudited actuals means is basically our final expenditures without it being audited. Once we get our audit done, um we're about to get we're close to done. Um last minute items will present that in December. So that's what the term is on audited. Um if we go to the next slide. Oh, there we go. So it's actual expenditures as of June 30th of the last fiscal year. The next slide please. So unrestricted versus restricted funds. I like to spend some time every period just to go a little bit over what that means. So there's unrestricted revenues which which is our general fund revenues that'll show um how much we get in each category that are subject to it's really used
050for variety of purposes. Our unrestricted um a lot of it is our salaries benefits and our operations of the district. Um inside our unrestricted includes some of our LCAP funds as well as part of the plan. We also have our restricted revenues. Um a lot of it's federal revenues that we receive in some state such as title funds um fund 13 for food services and it includes um we have about four different types of title funds in there um our afterchool program our expanded learning program and our arts and music prop 28 funds. So those are specifically assigned to a specific program and we can only spend it for that program. Then we have our fund balance. Our fund balance consists of our reserves that that required reserved amount we're required to keep. Um there's
051also funds that fall that fall at the end of the fiscal years because we we project a certain amount at the beginning of the year what we think we'll spend for the year. So you'll see some fallout money monies in our presentation that resulted in an increase in our fund balance. It also consists of non-spendable which is our funds that we have for like money we have in the bank like student count. There's some student council funds. There's also funds that we keep for petty cash for everyday expenditures and those are non-spendable. We also have a um assigned funds. Um we have a little bit committed funds remaining for that um last amount of the math adoption that we paid out in July not in last fiscal year. So we did we finalized the last
052payment of of curriculum in that area and then we have an unassigned. So that is that's what our un um fund balance consists of. So to summarize our on audit actual our last fiscal year's um summary is our cola was 1.07 and for stirs um there was no change in stirs benefits but there was an increase in our purse um uh retirement at.37. our finalized um certified enrollment um increased from 3,382 to 3,452. Um what we presented earlier is like beginning and end. What we present is what we certified to the state for funding purposes. So we increase from the last fiscal year about 70 in that calculation when we do our reporting for funding. If we look at our average daily attendance, it increased from 3,197 to 3,250. And that's a 5388 increase, which
053is we're we're going positive. This is great news for the district. Um to that, it also creates a positive um increase in our duplicated pupil percentage or UP or UPP or U a lot of people say UPC. Um so it just different terms for it. um we increase about um 1.02%. So that results in more revenue over time and then you'll see the eventually when we present first in our multi-year increase in revenue because of that. So we're in a positive trend which is great because not many districts are in that side of um enrollment and our attendance is doing great. So thanks to what we're doing at the school sites. Um, so here's a picture of what our LCFF funding revenues looks um looks like in a visual. Our base grant is about $33
054million overall. Um, we have grace span adjustments. So that is um an additional amount we get for um K3 grades. And then we have our supplemental concentration which is that UP or UPC unduplicated amount. We get $6 million for that. and that it's been increasing over the years um because we we continue to see that growth. Uh we have the additional um TK add-on uh um and then we also have our transportation add-on. So that's just a grandfather amount over the years that we've been getting. So overall we're we're we're in heading to the right direction. and then I'll present in the next slide um how that looks like our district enrollment ADA and our UPC or UP to the next slide please. So let's look at the trend here. Our enrollment is um the
055light gray mine is purple light gray um on the screen. Um it is increasing. You see that growth with on on the same side average more enrolled more attendance meaning that increases at the same time and our upp which is our unduplicated account um I mean unduplicated pupil count continues to increase. So we're heading the right direction. Um again we continue to be conservative and just project the amount the same because we don't want to over project and get revenue we don't actually get we want to receive the revenue that we actually earn. So we very we project um very conservatively. So as of September 3rd um enrollment as um Lois presented um it's at 3,476. So this is going to increase for first intrum. We'll see that growth and we'll present that growth in
056revenue in December. We It's a positive trend and I I'm I'm glad we're in a position that we could say that. Our next slide, please. Oh, it's okay. So, if you have it in front of you. Oh, there you go. So, our LCFF um funding sources, state funds, is about 74 74% of our funding. So, it's large large amount comes from the LCFF funding state. We get a small amount from state about 13% and then our local revenue um funds about 9% and then federal revenues at 3.5%. Um as we mentioned earlier in June that there will be some reductions in federal revenues in title. Um we began I actually looked them up today to see if they were posted. They were posted. So there is some reduction between 7 to 10%. On some of
057that right now it's looking about 70 to 80,000. So we'll present that in um December again that will reflect but it's only on the federal side. So we're increasing on the LCFF because of enrollment and ADA but you'll see a little reduction in federal because of the cuts that they have been telling us it's coming for that overall $56 million in revenue with our both unrestricted and restricted funds combined. Our expenditures so um we have our certificated expenditures. almost 39% of our budget classified about 17% with employee benefits 22%. So overall about 79% of our budget is for our salaries and benefits for all our staff. The remaining are for books and supplies, services, operations, capital outlay, very minimal is left for the everyday stuff that we we use. So um and it is very
058common about normally 79 to 80% of budgets are salaries and benefits in most districts. Cost of living adjustment. So as we mentioned our 2425 um we our cola ended about 1.07. Our projected cola for the outy years um seems to be at a growth right now at 2.3 for um this fiscal year that we are currently and projected for the 26 27 at 3.02 too. Again, um when we see cola, cola is not dollar for dollar as if we get this, we're going to get dollar for dollar. It's going to depend on our average daily attendance and our enrollment. It's tied to cola. So, it's not always dollar for dollar only if it's perfect attendance. So, on a restricted reserve level, so um some things have changed from adopted budget we presented in June to
059now. Um as I mentioned earlier, um revenue did increase. Um we're on a positive growth on our enrollment and average daily attendance as well as when we project our our our expenditures for the fiscal year. We project a certain amount at the end some of it falls out and there is um less than 1% of that you'll see that fall out in balance. So you'll see some increases. Um so our our ending balance for the f this year is about 15.75%. And then for our 2526 school year it's um 12.89. It's about an increase difference from June's budget about a 1.75 increase in that fund balance based on June's projections. Uh this will change because of that increase in first interim once we present the updated revenue based on the new enrollment that um we
060lowest presented because that's the reporting we do in October to project revenue for December and the outyear. So um 2627 currently is 11.46 and 2728 at 10.63. If you compare those number from from our adopted budget in June, it's it's a difference in every year of 1.75 and that's the increase that felt in this current year that resulted in those increases for the outy years. So overall, the district was is meeting all their financial obligation um through our one-time funds, tape funds and increase in ADA and COLA. Enrollment continues to grow in um higher ADA and an increase in UPP. The district remains focused on safe, secure technology, rich learning environments to support instruction. And with the recent math adoption, curriculum improvement continues to be priority. As we um heard in our last meetings, um
061we are focusing on um beginning um establishing um setting aside funds for science curriculum and you'll see that um update provided at first intent. Our commitment remains centered on our students and employees and creating an environment where students thrive and employees succeed in the roles. So going good. We're in a good direction, guys. >> Any questions? >> My only question is on the COLA increases. Does that is that applying to state funds or federal funds or both? Or say >> um state funds. >> Just state funds. Okay. >> State funds. The LCF portion only the 74%. >> Okay. The big piece. All right. Thanks. Can you tell me again where you said there was going to be a reduction? Did you say what category that was going to be? >> Federal funds portion 5% of
062our budget >> and revenue in that and the graph. You could pull it up. >> Okay. Uh up one more. So the federal revenues is 3.5 that consists of title one, title two, title three and some special ed funds and we pulled up the titles before um uh this meeting and we noticed the allocations were reduced between 70 to 10%. Um and we I added some amounts and it's about 70 to $80,000 in reductions right now. So, as you can see, it's it's only a small portion of our budget, but if we see increases on the other side, which we hope to see that and and we're in that direction. So, we we will present an update of exactly how much once we pull up every allocation for federal funding and we anticipated that we
063>> I remember that. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Any other comments? Um part of our increase was related to increased ADA. >> If next year our enrollment goes down, all those numbers would change. >> Yes. It is tied to it. Revenue is tied to it. >> It it is kind of hard to predict what could >> Yes. Yeah. And that's why providing updates every period in term period is important because depending on our enrollment trends in the fall and then what it looks like in the spring. So it it does it can change dramatically. >> Can I get a motion to approve 242.646? >> I'll make the motion. >> I'll second. >> Thank you. You have a motion from Casey Raboid to approve item number 242.646 seconded by Matthew Ward. Katherine Harper >> I. >> Annette
064Kunzie >> I. >> Wesley Kaggel >> I. >> Thank you. The motion carries unanimously. We have an action item on 242.647 which is all of these policies. I do have a public comment related to that. Is there anything that you wanted to say about these policies before we hear the public comment? >> No. Um, we had a first reading last month where cabinet went over the changes. Um, and that was the opportunity to get some feedback or comments, questions from the board and there were no changes based on the the feedback or anything that we had. So, they are they are as they were presented last month. >> I do have a procedural question, but I don't know if we want to hear the comments first. It's related to my vote. So, yeah. Okay, let's
065hear the public comment first. >> Good evening. I appreciate how quickly you guys are moving tonight. Um, since there are some new administrators, I just want to um reintroduce myself. My name is Veronica Kaufman. I've been a resident of G for 15 years now and I have one kiddo in the district. I began tracking district statistics in 2017 in anticipation of her attending school in Gul and began attending board meetings in fall of 2019. I have volunteered in the classroom for field trips, led school clubs, um served on the the district advisory committee for three years. I'm a member of the measure h citizen bond oversight committee and I'll be volunteering for school site council at McAffrey this year. Um my comment this evening is in regards to every BP and AR that's being altered
066using the Tennessee v Cardona case just as justification. Well, I understand the AG Bont and therefore California is signed onto the case via the ambassy cure and that the emergency application for partial stay on injunction was denied by Scotas on 8:16 2024. I do want to go on record to voice my concern and my opposition to the board rolling back any Title 9 protections for students. um excuse me that are already vulnerable in minority and or marginalized groups. These changes do not comport with the district's mission statement, vision statement, or LCAP goals. Rolling back protections may inhibit growth and achievement, which falls short of our mission statement. Rolling back Title 9 protections results in less student equity and more potential for unsafe environments in contradiction with our vision statement. Rolling back protections for students does
067not promote whole learner development and reduces safe and supportive environments which is not fulfilling LCAP goal 2. This in turn makes achieving academic success in a variety of environments difficult for students which is not fulfilling LCAP 1. Um really comes down to basic Maslo before Bloom. And so I'm going to ask that you vote no on item 242647. Thank you so much. I think it was Kjet who had covered that those portions last time related to title 9 and how it's being recommended to us coming from CSVA. Is that correct? Can you use your mic? Sorry. These policies were updated to reflect the reversal back to the 2020 Title 9 regulations. >> And this is all coming from CSVA recommended. >> Correct. Yes. To align with the current law. >> Okay. >> Yeah. A lot
068of these policies did relate to that change >> and what what the federal government did recently reverted back to the 2020. >> Yeah. >> And so that's what >> not all of these but there were a good handful of them that it was >> that reference that court case. >> Right. >> And these were the ones that we had tabled because we were waiting to see what would happen. So where most many school districts had adopted them and now have to undo. Correct. we had really, in my opinion, good foresight and so we didn't adopt them in the first place. So we don't have to undo what so we're sort of like it's it's a wash. So we've gotten into the same place before because those regulations were determined to be arbitrary and capriccious by
069the uh Supreme Court. So >> or I mean the Tennessee Cardona case >> and then it wasn't appealed. That case wasn't appealed. Did you have a procedural statement or question before we go ahead? So, um I'm not sure how to handle this. Um this is and I'm sure it's not just me. I'm sure there's many parents, staff, teachers, possibly some additional board members. I'm just speaking for myself, but when we're looking at some of the discrimination ones, there are a couple categories that perhaps are mutually exclusive. Um and so I just I guess as a general observation is those two if they conflict both of those are protected categories. So I'll just give an example. So for example um based on my sincerely held religious beliefs there are only two genders and those are determined
070when um God breathes a life into us and they are immutable and not changeable. That's based on my sincerely held first amendment protected right. And so I do not recognize gender fluidity. Um I know there's a lot of people in the district who also feel the same as me. So there's that protection and then there's also the gender identity that's also mentioned in that um uh policy. And so my question is is when I'm voting for this, you know, I believe in treating people kindly and treating people nicely and you know all of that, but I cannot um accept gender fluidity. I also think it's potentially harmful to these children. So I also worry about that. So I cannot knowingly accept that as a concept based on my sincerely held religious beliefs which again are
071protected. So I don't know I guess if those two conflict I'm not saying I'm agreeing to all of that, right? I'm I can I can vote yes and not have to agree to certain policies that are prohibited by my religious beliefs. Is that >> is there something specific in here that you were bringing to light or is this >> it says discrimination? So like there's gender identity is also listed with religion. Those are both protected categories. So those can be mutually exclusive. >> So I just wanted to mention that just because um that is something that is also protected for me. So in the event that those two, you know, for the most part, maybe they don't ever have to, you know, come together, but I just want to mention that those beliefs are very
072strong for me, sincerely held. I don't think there's any doubt about that. I would I would propose that there's a lot of people in this district who feel the same way, who maybe don't have, you know, don't feel that they can say that. And so I also want to make sure that they're aware of how I feel because potentially they may be in the same boat as well. So when I'm voting on this, yes, I'm just voting that I'm I'm not agreeing to something that goes against my religious beliefs. Am I or am I? I guess that's my question is should I vote yes? Should I vote no? Because I don't want to say, you know, that I am agreeing to this and then somehow it's used against me in the future, I guess. So
073I don't I don't know. I don't know if that's something I can Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, I guess that would be of course it have to be a personal choice. You could vote no or yes or abstain. >> Yeah. >> As well. >> Yeah. >> And you could you could pull if you wanted to vote in a different or vote different >> based on >> I mean I don't want to propose anything different obviously at this point. You know I it's written in there. I know that's also in the California law but some of those two are are um mutually exclusive opposite and opposed >> in many instances. So yeah. Um, so I just kind of wanted to bring that up. And I can abstain. I'm fine abstaining. Maybe that's the best option. >>
074You could also, if there were just a few, maybe not all of them. If there were just a few that you wanted to vote differently than the others, we could okay pull that out. >> So yeah. So anything that regards to gender identity where it would imply that I would have to accept gender fluidity, then those are the ones that I would not want to vote on. I would abstain on those which I think are primarily the discrimination ones. >> That's probably I would say and cool. >> I mean do we need to table it and pull those out and bring it back or do we >> Well, >> I think the rest of you guys can vote. >> I would I would rather just vote on it. >> Yeah. >> And abstain. >> Yeah.
075And that's fine. And I think I see this as just a set of community standards that we have agreed and that CSBA has agreed and that um the community has agreed that this is you know how we're conducting ourselves. So that's how I see it. >> Second reading and >> second reading. Yeah. >> We're following we're following CSBA. >> Yeah. >> Unfortunately CSBA does not determine whether I get to hold my religious beliefs or not. >> For sure. and >> and I don't have to leave them at the school door. At the school door, it's well established. >> There have been things that have come down from CSBA that I have not agreed with particularly. Um but then then you get into you know it's your personal choice as to how to handle it. So
076absolutely. >> Um anyone have any other comments about that or questions? Yeah, on the different topic, uh, the only comment I had questioned was in regards to their updated policy not requiring a driver's license at employment. And so I ran that by Lois just to confirm that there are other ways of verifying identity other than a driver's license. So I'm going to vote yes on that, but I just wanted to bring that up that I did inquire about that was interesting. >> We have to take two forms of ID and one is a picture ID. So it doesn't have to be a driver's license, but we do have to confirm who they are. Just just to point out that somebody may not be able to get a driver's license if they have a seizure disorder,
077but they're otherwise perfectly cap capable of working. They would have to have a driver or transportation of another mean. I mean, I'm just using that as an example why somebody wouldn't have a driver's license. >> Yeah. >> My work had a I when I got hired, you had to have a driver's license and it's changed now. So, you don't have to have you said to have an ID. >> Yeah. The law has changed unless you have to drive through work. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, I'm just throwing that out there that there are medical reasons why you cannot get a driver's license. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I'll make the motion to approve 242.647. >> I'll second it. >> Thank you. You have a motion from Katherine Harper to approve item number 242647. Seconded by Wesley
078Kaggel. Casey Rabo >> I. >> Annette Kunzie >> Abstain. Matthew Ward >> I. >> Thank you. The motion carries um four A's by Katherine Harper, Casey Ra Boy, Matthew Ward, and Wesley Kaggel um with Annette Kunie abstaining. Okay, thank you. Do we have any public comments for topics not on the agenda? >> No, we do not, Miss Harper. Pending agenda items. Yes, we have um student physical fitness and we'll we're working on that and most likely bringing that to you in October as a report. Anything additional that we have? I think we've made history tonight with 1 hour 10 minutes. >> With that, I will adjourn us. >> Thank you.
