They act upon these items in one vote. Any member may remove an item
004for additional questions. Board members receive their agendas and backup material 7 days in advance of our meetings. They have the opportunity to ask questions and to do research prior to our meeting. It is their intent to handle the rout routine items expeditiously so they have time to address issues that are more serious. Does anyone have any items to pull from the consent calendar? >> I'll make a motion to approve a consent calendar. I'll second. >> We have a motion to approve the consent calendar by trustee Candeleria or and a second by trustee Zquix. Preferential >> I. >> All in favor? >> I >> opposed and no one is absent. So we will move on to association reports. J1 California School Employees Association. >> Yeah. Carla, were you gonna come and say something to introduce Jennifer
005or you just Okay. >> Good evening. My name is Carlos Amenz. I'm the president for our local chapter CSEA local chapter 170. And today uh I would like to introduce you guys to Jennifer Hson. She's our labor relationship representative and she has some information that she would like to share with you guys. So Jennifer, thank you. Hi guys. Um, so again, my name is Jennifer. I am the CSA labor rep uh for your guys' district, overseeing your classified folks. Um, and so, um, I just wanted to talk a little bit about CESAP. And I hope you don't mind. I'm going to read from my script here so I don't get off track. Um, um, good evening and thank you for all for allowing me to speak on behalf of CSEA and its Cloverdale chapter number
006170. My name is Jennifer Hiten. I am a labor rep with California School Employees Association, CSEA. Today I want to talk about a program that continues to shape the financial stability of thousands of classified school employees across our state, the California School Employees Summer Assistance Program or CESAP. Our classified employees, our PAR educators, custodians, office assistants, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and so many others are the people who make our schools run every single day. They are the heartbeat of our campuses. Yet, despite their dedication, many of them face a harsh reality every summer. For far too many, paychecks stop in late May or June. But the cost of living doesn't stop with them. Rent still comes due. Child care still needs to be paid. Groceries, car payments, medical bills, those don't take a summer break.
007Many of our classified employees work 11 months or fewer, which means that the income that sustains them for most of the year suddenly disappears for 8 to 10 weeks. And because so many earn modest hourly wages, even saving a few hundred in advance, can be a challenge. Every year, countless classified staff tell us the same story, they have to take on a temporary second and even third jobs just to make it through the summer. Jobs that often pay less, offer no benefits, and come with no stability. Others have to rely on credit cards, high interest loans, or borrowing from family, which only adds more financial strain when the school year begins again. These aren't extravagant expenses. These are the basics. Keeping the lights on, keeping food on the table, and staying safely housed. This is
008exactly why the classified school employee summer assistance program or CESAP exists. It provides a structured, reliable way for employees to set aside part of their paycheck during the school year and receive it back during the summer months with additional matching funds from the state. It is one of the most effective tools we have to reduce financial hardship, create stability, and ensure that people who support our students can support themselves as well. Um, so what is CESAP? SEESAP began in 2018 with one clear purpose to support classified school employees who work 11 months or fewer and lose their income over the summer months. It is a state funding savings and matchings program established under the education code and administered by the California Department of Education. This program gives employees a structured, dependable way to set aside
009part of their paycheck during the school year and receive that money back in the summer with additional matching funds from the state. Since it began, more than 170,000 classified employees across California have benefited from SEAP. Here in Sonoma County, over half of our districts participate, including the Sonoma County of Office of Ed and statewide, more than 500 school districts are part of the program. CESAP is not theoretical. It is not symbolic. It is real tangible impact. It has helped employees pay rent during the summer. It has kept families in their homes. It has reduced debt, reduced stress, and created a sense of financial stability many classified employees have never had before. The partition participation continues to grow because the need is real and because the program works. The impact is clear and it is overwhelmingly
010positive. Um so how does CESAP work? CESAP gives classified employees something they've never had before, a way to create predictable summer income with the help from the state of California. Um so how it works is eligible classified employees can voluntarily set up voluntarily set aside up to 10% of their monthly paychecks during the school year. Then the state of California steps in and matches a portion of those savings, sometimes up to a full 100%. When summer arrives, both the employee savings and the state matched funds are paid out during the months when employees traditionally don't receive a paycheck. Um, now the exact amount varies from year to year because it depends on statewide participation and the level of state funding. So for example, uh, the 2526 year, the estimated match is about 56 cents on
011the dollar. Um, in the past year, the match has been higher. Um, as districts begin to participate, that amount reduces. Um, so let's see. Um, and so what does it cost the district? Um, and I want to be very clear about this. It doesn't cost the district anything um except the cost of the taxes on the wages withheld. Um, so the district is not responsible for matching employee savings. The only cost to a participating district is the employer side payroll taxes on the state's matching funds um because those matching funds are considered taxable compensation. When we compared this cost to districts of your size, we found that the annual expense is roughly $5,000 a year um which is a relatively small amount for a program that provides such meaningful benefit to employees. There is no
012district contribution to the match, no large financial commitment, and no financial risk beyond standard payroll tax obligation and manageable administrative tasks. And yet, even with participation being fully optional, many districts throughout California choose to join. Why? Because the benefits are significant both for employees and for the district. Uh the program increases financial stability for classified employees. It improves retention and reduces turnover, which reduces recruiting and training costs. It builds goodwill and demonstrates the district's commitment to supporting its workforce. And the administrative requirements are predictable, straight, straightforward, and very manageable. CESAP is one of those rare programs that costs the district very little, but delivers a profound positive impact. It helps the employees who help our students every single day, and it strengthens the district in the process. Um, and so this is just a little
013bit of my own experience that I'm going to share. Um, before I came to work for CSEA, I spent 10 years serving as a classified school employee. My district was the only one in the county that chose not to participate, leaving me among the workers who went without every other district moved forward. I can tell you firsthand, knowing how little it would have cost the district and knowing how profoundly it would have helped me and my fellow classified employees was incredibly disheartening. It left me feeling undervalued and unappreciated, and that feeling stayed with me, especially as someone who came to work every day determined to give my best to our students and our schools. What may seem small from a district perspective can mean the world to the people who are barely getting by. Classified
014employees keep our schools running. They support every classroom, every teacher, every student, and many of them are struggling just to make ends meet. CESAP is a thoughtful, wellorganized program that ensures classified school employees have real income during the months when they would otherwise have none. And it's one of the most meaningful financial support supports the state provides to the people who support our students all year long. So, I share this with you not as a staff representative, but as someone who has lived this experience. A small decision on your part can go such a long way for the people who serve this district with everything they have. Thank you for your time and for considering the very real impact your choice will have on the lives of people who make our schools whole. Thank you
015guys. >> Thank you. >> Uh we will move on to teachers association of Cloverdale and I guess there's no report tonight. >> Okay. Uh district reports Jefferson Elementary School Well, good evening. Um, you have my report as submitted. >> Thank you. Uh, uh, K2 Washington School. >> Good evening everybody and yes, you have our uh, report submitted as well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And CL High School in J. >> So before Glenn started saying that, I was going to say, but so I'm not doing a big contra um we had a really busy month this past month with the eighth grade rising and the eighth grade parent information night. So there were a lot of like lot of things happening at Cloverdale High School. So I just wanted to point it out and
016everything has been going great. And other than that, you have my report submitted. Thank you. >> And special education and student services. >> You have my report as submitted as well. >> Thank you. >> And uh maintenance, operation, and transportation. I'm going to guess that's as submitted as well. >> And we will move on to the student sorry student board representative. No. >> Oh, business. Oh, I'm skipping you. Sorry. >> I'm okay with that. >> Okay. That's this one. Yeah. >> All right. Hello everybody. Um, so this is we're going to do this uh report in two parts. This is the first part and we're just going to update you with some monthly with some numbers for our monthly program and next month we'll be coming at you with the second interim. So we'll go
017into a lot more detail a lot have a lot more information and a lot of these numbers are going to change next month. So um the first one is our enrollment and right now for at the beginning of February we had 1,254 students. This is 19 less than last year at the same time. Um but it's but the good news is it's eight more than last month. So that's good for us. And here on this this top group is the 23 24 and the second the middle group is 2425 and then the bottom is 2526 for month 6. And our current um ADA for month 6 is 1,156 and 13. So as you can see this is less than it's been in previous years. All right, our revenues and how are we doing there? As
018you can see, we're about 59% for our LCFF, 56% for other state revenues. We're at 122% for local revenues. And you're probably wondering, how is that possible? Well, that's possible because we've had an increase due to interest and we also received a refund from Stirs. So, those two things bumped us over to the 122%, meaning that we've received about 60% of all of our revenue so far. Um the next one is our expenditures and as you can see we're we're tracking pretty well there. Um what we've actually spent is about 53% of our expenditures. And then the next two slides, the contribution slide and then also the um ending fund balance slide. They're not going to change until we get to the end of the year when we do our unodudited actuals and we find
019out really how much money are we going to get because that's how you do business in schools, right? You find out in October how much money you're going to get to spend for the year and all that. So that's part one. Now you can have part two. >> Okay. So, um, last two weeks ago, I went to a, um, a FCMAT meeting, uh, because I'm on the board at Fickmat, which is a, um, which is the financial crisis, uh, and management assistance team. Uh, it is a a group that is established through the uh, state of California to be able to help districts um, in financial struggles and also it's something where you can call them in to be able to audit any practices and everything like that you do. So they have a really
020good pulse on what's going on in the state. Um and so being a part of that, um group and that board is um we get kind of a little bit of uh inside track information. So uh what I'm going to talk about tonight is basically um not our budget per se, but the California budget. And um the way that it works, and I know we have a couple of of newer people, but the way that it works is is the governor comes out with his original or initial budget proposal for next year, which will be starting in in July um because they're on the same fiscal year. And uh and then uh they start negotiating essentially and then by May he comes out kind of with his revisions and then by the uh I think
021it's June 15th or the end of June, then the uh legislature has to pass a budget. Um, so what I'm going to talk about today is his original proposal. Um, and of course this is in January. He came out on January 8th and uh gave it uh it takes a little bit for it to kind of get filtered into. Uh this is just the educational side which is actually the biggest side. Um but um it kind of gives you an idea about how it's setting up for next year. This is a unique year because um this will be the last budget proposal the governor is doing because he is turned out. Uh also a unique part is is clearly the governor is going to be running for a national office. So um as you know
022it's not uh for president until 2028. But the way the national stuff works is you pretty much are starting now uh preparing for potential runs. Uh, I know nobody's really announced yet, but in all likelihood, that's what's going to probably happen. Stop me any time. You don't have this in front of you. It's up here. I'm going to have Kathleen email it to you after uh this part. Um, so here we go. Um, and again, this is these are not my words. This is what uh they put out. So, I'm not going to go through everything in depth. Um, but it gives you an idea. Um so basically so there's definitely strong support uh for the schools in this budget as of right now. And again this is not what's going to be necessarily accepted
023but this is just what he originally comes out with. Okay. Um they talk about in here the big uh the big three taxes basically are up. Uh those are uh going to be income tax which is the the biggest one. um which also includes capital gains and everything like that as well, sales and use tax and corporation uh corporate taxes. Um right now we are writing the AI machine basically right now. So those taxes are way up. The big thing right now at the state level is is that you have two offices. You have the department of finance which actually works for the governor. Uh and then you have the uh legislative analyst office which is basically an independent nonpartisan thing. Those two guys are those two groups are way off on the amount of
024money that's going to be coming through uh the end of the year for next year. Um and so the we are uh built on um we meaning the K it's actually TK through 14 which we include with the uh community colleges as well. And uh we have what's called a proposition 98 guarantee. This was passed in 1988 that basically said that school districts are going to get or K through 12 uh educator K through 14 education is going to be guaranteed at least 40% of the budget. It's like 39.6 but guaranteed uh 40% of the budget that's coming in. So that way if there is receipts that are up, schools should be getting more of that, right? Because the 40% number is bigger. Um it also talks in here too at a glance that um
025it's looking like the cost of living a judgment or COLA uh is going to be about 2.41%. 41%. And if you remember what we've always talked about is is that 1% is really not going to cover all of our increases and other expenses. You know, uh keeping the lights on, having water, um and all that stuff, too, right? So, uh that's all a part of that as well. Um we talk about discretionary block uh onetime block grant, which I'll get into in a second, um uh for that part. So please just anybody can just let me know if you have any questions um coming up. Um so we obviously have revenues. Um so this kind of breaks it down a little bit here. Uh the general fund revenues are up about six almost 7% uh
026up $42 billion. Uh as you can see the majority of that's made up through personal income tax, right? And um most of that of the personal income taxes because people are paying taxes on their capital gains. They've, as you know, the stock market's over 50,000 now for the first time. So, there's been a lot of realized gains uh in all that for the state, but you can see that the corporation taxes and the sales internet, excuse me, sales and use taxes are actually down a little bit uh which causes concern. Um and then it goes on to talk about the capital gains. Um okay, so now we are on the Proposition 98 reserve fund. Um, so there's so about a few years ago, I want to say in 21, does that sound right where they
027came up with that? Um, that basically where we had that last downturn. Um, so they uh the governor Brown at the time decided that we're going to have a uh public school system stabilization act to basically so if there's a certain number of certain amount of um revenue that we've got that they're going to put some of it away into a rainy day fund. So basically that if the idea behind it is good because we're trying to keep it on on somewhat of a of of a progressive um you know as more money comes in but there's going to be dips just like there is in any any time in in in economics. So if we have the stabilization act it'll make the dips less steep uh if we've got kind of a savings. We
028love that for schools because whenever they put money into that, it's our money, right? Which is good because we know how politicians are, legislators are when they have extra money, right? They like to give it away, right? So, by putting money into there helps us because it's our own savings account for schools. So, they can't touch it for anything else. I mean, that's not entirely accurate because they can always um you know, with a supermajority, you can always move it, but it's less likely. Um, and so also there's different tests that I'm not going to go into, but there's different tests that they use to be able to decide how much money goes into into schools and not. Um, they also work on three different years. They have last year, this year, and next year
029is kind of how they work. So, they kind of use the money to true up or uh and then also plan with, right? So, that's why you'll see a bunch of different things there. Um, okay. on Prop 98. Um it is actually up $21 billion uh that we should be getting. However, um they are not going to give us all of that because there was some back uh some last year, I think was it last year or the year before that they ended up lowering the bench of uh Proposition 98. So they basically whenever they do that, they have to owe us money. So he's taking that essentially out of the increased income that we would be getting. There's a lot of manipulation that goes on clearly. Um, and so it it is going to
030only end up being about a $15 billion um increase because about 6 billion of it's going to he's going to be putting elsewhere uh to true up and and different things like that as well to pay off some debt. Um, okay. And COLA um again like I said is 2.41% 41% um and then co which adds about maybe about $247 to $299 per ADA. The reason why there's a range there is because you have three different types of school districts in California. You have elementary school districts, you have high school school districts, and then you have unified school districts. So, uh there's some different numbers in there. We that nets us approximately about $300,000 is what it does. Um if you just if you look at the per ADA, it gives you some idea. Um
031they are talking about increasing some of the special education base funding. Um clearly it is very archaic in the amount of money they give us to be able to to supplement for special ed but at least it's something right. So they're talking about increasing that necessary small schools if you guys know what that means. Basically there are some areas that have to have a school that may not have like let's say you know from the district I came or excuse me the county I came from in Humble there's a district up there that has six kids. So their ADA is not going to so they get a a base a base amount that they're going to get because it's called necessary small schools. So they actually are increasing that a little bit. Um and then
032the outyear colas they're talking about being a little bit more towards 3%. And if you know anything about cola the cola is basically tied to a lot of different things mostly national stuff you know like with the consumer price index and everything like that. So it's a formulabased thing. It's not something that I mean it can be manipulated but it's generally something a formula based type thing. Um excuse me. Proposition 28 is our music and uh arts and music initiative. Um and they're they're looking at um using some of the money that we're going to rebench uh that for that's supposed to be separate out of uh Prop 98. But again, there's some manipulation going on there. Um and then uh some other things that they put Oops. So, here's just some other breakdown of
033some stuff. Um, most of these things uh pertain to us. We are not a comm we do not have a a community schools grant. Um, so that $1 billion is not due to us. The next three or four ours uh were a part of with the CTE. Obviously, we have the school transportation and things like that too. Um, they are redirecting some monies uh to be able to go to the LA fires support because a lot of schools and things like that did get destroyed and and that sort of thing. uh or having to rep uh or displace people and and run schools, stuff like that. Um okay. And then some uh program revisions. Um they're going to add 62 point uh almost uh 62.5 million to the expanded learning uh program in tier 2.
034Are we in we're also going to be getting some of that as well. But most of these other funds do not get the cola attached to them. So a lot of these funds like this increase here will not get an extra 2.4%. That's just on the base money that we're going to get. Okay. Um so looking ahead um so there are some very some risks in the last few months we have had above predicted receipts that we're getting from the state basically again with from the um excuse me that the state is getting because of all of the higher capital gains everything like that too and taxes that are coming in are coming in higher than than is predicted. He is predicting that's going to continue. That trend is going to continue. Most people think
035that the much like with the dot bubble that the AI bubble is going to happen. Everybody now is doing AI, right? And we all know eventually that's going to probably boil back down to some major companies, right? For example, if you look, maybe some of you weren't around or don't remember, but when the internet first came out, right? Every there was everybody that had an internet website, right? That was doing something. And then all of a sudden the Googles and stuff started eating the rest right and became you know so there's only a few of them that are left few big companies that are left most people feel like that's going to happen with AI as well right we don't know so there's a lot of that's one things about looking ahead there's a lot
036of risks to those forecasts right that he's meaning the governor is banking on those receipts coming in higher than they normally would in that um anyway because if that does burst, right, then the capital gains will go away, which is funds a lot of stuff that we do in California, right? Um we feel like the coal is a little low on that in order to keep up with um usually that tries to keep up with inflation a little bit, but inflation's not that low anymore. I know that back when the 2.4 used to be a pretty good thing, right? Cuz we weren't increasing as much. We're increasing things a lot more now. Declining enrollment still continues to be a problem in the entire state, right? Um and then um everything else you see there as
037well. And then when it comes to planning, this is where we kind of uh start talking about building budgets for next year, right? And I know it's weird um because we have to come up with a budget before there's even a budget, right? we have to come up with a with what we predict that the that the state's going to approve as a budget. So, it's a little weird, but that's just what it is. Um, so what we're trying to do now is to figure out we have to try to figure out what like what the cola is going to be, what the final cola is going to be. Um, and different things that we have to kind of look at. We also there's other things at play now too because we do get a
038lot of federal funds. We don't know if those federal funds are going to be coming in or what percent they're coming in or anything like that too. So there's a it's what makes this a little bit more of a unique year according to even some of the things I talked about before with this being his last um budget also potentially running for a national office. um the state with our state with the federal government's not exactly getting along and are we going to be made, you know, so there's a bunch of things that are out there that are really at play that we don't really know how it's going to play out. Um so some of the things that they suggest for planning considerations are is to make sure you have position controls and you're
039up to date. You know how many employees you've got, what's doing what. Um, and then also, um, just paying attention to what's going on in the in the information that's going to be coming from, uh, from, you know, from our different, um, organizations that we belong to to let us know what's going on. Uh, they're saying do not budget for that discretionary grant, uh, because it's going to be all over the place. Those are one-time monies, by the way. Um, so those aren't things that would be ongoing anyway, right? So, if those come in, great. If they don't, we need to prepare for them not even to come in. Um and then um also they do not fund the gradu for a graduation requirement for ethnic studies. And so um in the ethnic studies provision,
040it says that it's not mandated until it's funded uh to be able to do that. So it's another year of it not being funded. So it's not going to be in there. So they keep talking about it every year, but it's been it was supposed to have already been I believe already started by now. Yeah. And so they've been kind of kicking it down. They haven't really taken it off yet, but they've been kicking kind of the can down the road by just not funding it. And what I mean by funding it is they're supposed to be funding curriculum and everything like that too in preparation for that coming. And it just hasn't been in anybody's budget. I know that was a pretty quick overview. Um but if anybody has any questions that I might
041be able to answer, then I will do my best. So with all that information is when um we will start having a little bit more idea about what it means for schools more on a granular level a little bit. Um and but um we have a pretty good idea like even for our multi-year projections it's talking about 3%. We generally use the lowest number um that they come up with cuz we want to be conservative uh for that part. But the only I could say is it's going to change a bunch of times before we even get there. Um, and this is the time of the year when a lot of the bills are coming through and there's a lot of negotiations going around um with the legislature and uh the different sides of the
042legislature and the two different houses and legislature then with the governor and things like that too. So um it it's like I said it's kind of a unique year uh on that part uh for that. Any questions anybody has? I know that was really exciting and anything else? Okay, thank you. Thank you. Uh we will move on to our student board representative report. So with the citrus fair coming up, I know a lot of students have put in work in the citrus fair, particularly a lot of FFA students. I know the ad construction class has put in woodwork. I think Floral has put in bouquets. Farm to Table has also put in um different foods like I know they made homemade applesauce and I know um Mr. Vagger the art teacher also submitted a lot
043of students artwork in there as well. So if you have the time it'd be great if you could check out students work. Um also I know the animal anatomy class went to a field trip to the Cloverdale home and garden and um the CSF had a field trip to San Francisco State which was really nice. It was nice seeing the campus and really like being there and the weather was actually pretty nice so we weren't freezing cold. Um the junior class is having a bake sale for I think a wine walk pretty soon and they're still looking for volunteers for um providing any like baked goods. And um we do have a a a little bit of a time change change for Migle. It's still on February 27th, but doors open at 6:00, but it
044will start at 6:30. So, just keeping >> February 27th. >> Yeah, it's still going to be Yeah. the Friday then. Um, and this Monday we had a uh the school had a walk out for protesting ICE. A lot of students went to the plaza with signs. Um, and I heard that um it was it went pretty well. I think they were very proud of what they did and what they stood for. Um, and some students came back after lunch, but the majority did um, go home with that. Um, and I think yeah, that's all for my report. >> Thank you. >> And we will move on to board reports. Anyone can start. Do you guys short and sweet? Um, so first off, I was able to go to the steam night at Jefferson and that
045was so cool. I was telling other board members, um, learned a lot about polar bears that night. Um, stuff that I never knew. Um, which I really appreciate cuz I'm always up for being a forever student. Um, the little experiments, everything just it was overall a really wonderful evening. I think the teachers who volunteered to stay and provide. So, thank you. Um, the other shout out I wanted to give was our parent group at Jefferson. We did go, my daughter and I went to the dance. Um, and it's really great what that organization does and just thank you for everything. So, I just wanted to make sure I gave him a shout out in my report. But that is it for me. I'll go um as me mentioned in our student services report uh SARB
046did have three new referrals um from Washington. However, um we will unfortunately be calling back some SARB students that we've been monitoring because they're not um they're still having attendance issues. And um we in addition to monitoring all the students um I just want to say all of our students that are at JH a majority of them have been a successful and having 100% attendance since moving there. So that's uh really great and that's all I have for right now. >> Thank you. >> Uh so yeah this month uh we did a coffee chat. I encourage people to come um and talk about whatever you want to bring to us at the coffee chats. Um but besides that, there's nothing else for me to report. >> I will say at the coffee chat, I learned
047from Miss Tapen that an orca is actually not a whale, it's a dolphin. >> So learn something new every day. Yeah. >> Why do they call it orcas at SeaWorld? >> It's a I'm so sorry. I have nothing to report. >> Thank you. And I also have nothing to report this month. So we will move on to the superintendent report. >> I think you heard me enough. >> Okay. Moving on to report discussion. Measure H update. >> Short and sweet as submitted. Thank you guys. Thank you. >> And we will move on to O2 local control accountability plan mid year. >> Sorry. >> Okay. Okay. Everybody has this in front of you. Um, so and it's going to be super tiny up here. Um, so if you can move forward a little bit. Yeah. So
048I could just explain with this first one here. See, we have four goals, right? And so every year or in the middle of the year, we have to uh update do an update and it has to come in front of the board. Um, and so you'll see the column right there. Um, and so some of them obviously like this one for example on the second one. Um, we don't know our ADA and P2 because we're not even there yet. Um, most of them though deal with um the district dashboard um which is on there. So, and that's all stuff that's that's listed on the website, the dashboard. Um, and so which we went over LA I think it was last month, right? Went over last month. So, keep going down a little bit. Um so
049each one of the um four goals has metrics right that we've come up with. So this is year two of a three-year cycle, right? So uh some school districts and it's a living document, but some school districts uh change their metrics on a yearly basis. Um we've always and I'm a big proponent of leaving things for the 3 years so you can actually see your progress or sometimes decline. Um I feel like if you're always moving it, you're never going to get a target anywhere, right? So we've steadfastly done that. Um so this is again the second year. So next year will be the final year of ours to be able to reach the goal and then we will next year we're starting writing a new one for the following year. Right? So, we'll kind
050of um it's not a total rewrite because some of the things will continue on. Um but it will be kind of a the the new cycle will be up uh for that. Um and of course, like we talked about last time at the um for the uh dashboard, they have the colors and everything too. And then the different uh groups within there. So, I can answer any questions you might have them. Yeah, >> I do. Sorry, I was really quick on that one. Um, no. I So, whenever I was reading through because I know I wasn't obviously able to attend. Um, last month >> I wasn't going to point that out, but yes, >> I know. Thank you. It's okay. I'll throw myself in the box. Um, the parent ambassador program like what is that
051potentially going to look like? I was kind of curious because it was part of it and I just haven't talked about it before. At least I haven't heard it. Maybe I missed something. Um, I was just kind of curious, has that like any discussion on that happened? because it does say like we're still developing it. So, I'm just curious. Are there any ideas of what that's going to look like? >> I think there's ideas, but I don't think we've talked about necessarily what that looks like. Okay. >> Exactly. >> It just sounds really cool. That and the inclusive practices area I really enjoyed just with the cultural like outreach and stuff like that. I thought that was pretty neat. So, that's more of a comment than a question. I was just curious about the parent
052ambassador program. >> Okay. >> That's all. I mean, we talked about that a lot last month that you missed, but no, we didn't. >> I'm just curious. >> Anybody else? How about out here? Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> There's no action. It's just >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, we will now move on to our discussion action item P1, consideration and acceptance of donations. And we would like to thank everyone that donated. We had an anonymous donor donated a $100 Barnes & Noble gift card. PG& Blackbod giving fund donated $60 to JH.

I >> I >> opposed and no one is absent. Um, and so P2 is a notice, uh, notice of Cal, uh, excuse me, notice of Cloverdale Unified School
054District, California School Employees Association, Chapter 170, Sunshine proposal to negotiate for the 2025 2026 school year. >> So with this, there's no action. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So we will move on to P3 consideration and possible approval of candidate to elect as California school boards association delegate assembly subregion 3A candidate with no >> yeah so you see a lot of people put in for that >> clamoring yeah >> so >> can we vote to write in trusty candle or >> I I have no comment there. So, can you see my notes, not Ashley? >> I think you can do whatever. Uh I I don't >> We can also not Yeah, we could also just not and then see you if somebody else writes somebody and they get one vote, then they win. >> So, should
055I just make a motion then to just not write anyone? Oh, >> we don't need to do anything. >> Okay. >> Unless somebody wants to do it. Is anyone interested? >> not at this time. >> Okay. >> Did you want to come back? Do you want to put on next month just in case somebody changes their mind? >> You want to think about it? >> No. Okay, then we will move on. No vote for >> clo. >> Okay. So, we will move on to P4, consideration and possible approval of board policy and AR 1445, response to immigration enforcement. >> Yeah. So, um this is a brand new board policy and administrative regulation that was um created by the uh passage of AB495 um that mandated that we update our policies by March 1st of 2026.
056So, um this is like I said a brand new policy um and so this comes in from a CSBA which is where we get most of our wording for our policies. Um, so what you have in here is is in the boxes. Basically, it kind of just gives you a synopsis of why that's in there. Um, in my experience, it's always been to where um, if we have a new policy to our board policies, it usually takes two meetings. You have to have two readings. Um, so this will be the first reading. Um, Miss Bunting told me that in the past you guys have always just done one. Um, I feel like I've never had that before. Usually most of the stuff we do is one meeting because we're updating a policy we already currently
057have, right? Like you're gonna see for the P >> 56. Yeah, exactly. So, um my suggestion would be and I know it says by March 1st, but my suggestion is we've done it uh for the we've had the first reading, right? Most of the information that's on most of what we're going to talk about tonight is really actually already in our resolution that we passed mainly. Um but it is required. So, I wanted you guys to know that. So that's why um we put this on the um on the agenda so that we could uh we could pass that uh at least for the first reading of this. >> Would we put the resolution kind of like behind this as an attachment or are they too >> We we could you generally don't do attachments
058unless there's like a form. >> Okay. >> Um but because the resolution kind of resides in a different space, okay, as it were. um I don't know maybe kind of look more like a law compared to a um you know executive order type of thing you know what I mean they have two different purposes >> um so generally a policy and an administrative regulation would be you know administrative regulation is how are we going to how how do we as staff do the policy right where the policy kind of states the law so to speak and then the AR kind of says this is how you will act upon it essentially Um, so but again it's it's very rarely do we as school districts have new policies anymore. I mean as you can tell we've
059got policies for policies it seems like. Um so this is a very new development uh that that like I said did come from AB495 in response to uh everything else. Um and so when once we get these uh if you look at these there's like I said the boxes once we clean these up and put them in the boxes will go away right the only thing that will stay um that I don't even know if we included would be the um the footnotes that attach to the different uh laws uh that are there. >> Um and this isn't yeah this isn't something that we come up with. This is just something that the that we pay for essentially for other for the college um excuse me for the um school boards association to kind of
060come up with uh for that part. Um, most of what's in here, uh, as I'm sure you've all read it, is you have to have, right? Um, and and I feel like that most of it talks about, um, differenti differentiates between a valid subpoena compared to just somebody asking for it, right? So, it, like I said, it kind of um, memorializes a little bit more of our resolution that we've already talked that's been in place for quite a while. So, um, anyway, with that long- winded prep there, um, does anybody have any questions about it or anything they would like to talk about, uh, for that part? Um, I know it it feels frustrating sometimes on the board that um, a lot of it's rubber stamping stuff. Well, we're in California and we get regulated,
061right? So, this is one of those >> situations uh, that I would basically talk about. So, but we could also ask uh public if anybody has anything but I would start with the board. >> Board have any questions comments? >> Anyone from the public like to make any comments? >> Do I have a motion? >> So, I would say the suggestion of the motion would be is is that you u >> Yeah. motion to make for the first reading and then we'll bring it back for the second reading. Yes. Thank you. >> Okay. Well, I'll make a motion for the first reading. I'll second. >> Well, to accept the first reading. >> Yes, to accept first reading. >> So, we have a motion by trustee Candelary or to accept the first reading and a second
062by trustee Zyowitz. Preferential >> I. >> All those in favor? >> I >> opposed and no one is absent. >> Okay. Then the Oh, I'm getting ahead. Sorry. >> Let me introduce it. P5 consideration and possible approval of revised board policy and AR 5125 student records. >> Yeah. So again, this is um 5125 already exists. Um and so you'll notice that in your packet there are some areas that are in red and those areas in red are the ones that were added. And again, it's very similar to our packet. >> Um this is just a little bit different. um has to do with student records as opposed to particularly calling out the uh 1445 with the immigration uh enforcement. >> So this one is an already existing so we're not doing >> the revisions to
063it. Correct. >> And again this is just what we're supposed to include in it. >> Any questions comments public? Can I get a motion? >> Move to approve the revisions. >> Okay. A motion to approve revisions by Trusty Zikawix. Have a second. >> I'll second. >> A second by Trusty Oamian. Preferential >> I. >> All those in favor? >> I opposed and no one's absent. And we will move on to P6, consideration and possible approval of revised board policy and AR5125.1 release of directory information and creation of exhibit 5125.1 release of directory information. And I would say normally on these board policies, we would normally do them like in um consent, >> but I thought this these ones being kind of at the state of where we're at that would be good to do as
064report in case people wanted to show up and comment uh regarding some of the stuff. Um but again, this one is just the same. Um it's uh we've had we have an existing one, right? But we're just uh updating them. So who's it's in red >> shrinker >> and the updates are proposed by CSBI >> correct and I don't believe there's any ones in here that have options sometimes a lot of options that do with district practice that does exist >> language >> and again I will ask any comments questions public seeing none can I get a motion to approve >> I'll make a motion to approve a motion by trustee Kendall order to approve Move second. >> I'll second. >> Trustwick seconds the motion. Preferential. >> I. >> All those in favor? >> I
065>> opposed. No one is absent. And we'll move on to future agenda items. Does anyone have future agenda items to be brought forward? >> Well, we know we're going to bring the second >> the second reading. Um, okay. And so our future board meeting dates, uh, March 11th, 2026, a regular board meeting at 6 p.m. Then April 8th, regular board meeting at 6 p.m. May 13th, regular board meeting at 6 p.m. And with that, can I get a motion to adjurnn at 6:52? >> I'll make a motion to adjurnn. At 6:52, >> motion by trustee candle or second. >> I'll second. >> Second by trustee Harrison >> preferential. I all those in favor.
