006um and as mentioned also today um I met with Mr Larin and uh Mrs Cruz to discuss options at graduation um tickets and um utilizing both sides of the stadium and some different options so we'll be getting together uh some information and share it with the board uh and we can discuss it here as well I'd be happy to share a report if that's what the board would like to see also and finally uh we met with UC mered last week um the principles from Mark Twain John M in the high school to talk about our spring and summer uh math camps that we have going on and the goal is to expose our students to some higher levels of math uh but one of the things that we discussed is starting to look at
007how we can accelerate our students in math starting at the fourth grade level uh and hopefully culminating with Calculus BC at the high school Mr larin's going to talk later tonight about proposing bringing back AP Calculus so I think we've got a lot of good things in the works and um looking forward to these this last third of the year as we move forward thank you thank you prce California faculty associations employees a other reports second in any other good evening and I also am surprised at how quickly the year is flying by because we are already now at the second interim report um so our first slide that we have is showing our enrollment supposed to show our enrollment as compared to our yeah you can say on that one again okay go to
008the other one sorry so we have the enrollment as compared to average daily attendance the enrollment numbers are the dark blue numbers we have been experiencing declining enrollment over the last four years if we look at our average daily attendance which is the lighter blue colors that is the the number of students attending school as compared to our enrollment it's not as high as we would like it to be the 212 school year was about 94% in 22 23 uh 92.4 so that's where we saw a larger drop in attendance as compared to students enrolled and then 234 we did see a slight uptick at 93.5% attendance as compared to enrollment and we are hoping to see that same percentage of attendance this year or hopefully better and continue to improve that we would like
009to see the attendance closer to 96% how that affects us in addition to students not being in the classroom when present for instruction it does also impact our funding so the green line is our funded Ada there has been a change in the way that the state um calculates the funded Ada previously it used to be the current year Ada or prior year whichever was greater um postco Statewide school districts were seeing drop in attendance so they added an additional option to allow for whatever was the greatest the current year the prior year or the three-year average um the preceding three-year average so we have been able to benefit from that um you'll kind of see in the green bar section that in 212 it was higher than our Ada because we had the prior
010years averages to help us out um 2 three even though we saw that drop still it was a slower decline in the funded Ada because of that threeyear average and we are now seeing that um more steep decline in the current year and hopefully if we can bring up our attendance percentage that will help us out on the funding level as well otherwise we will see that that lower uh funding continue and on the next slide this just a general snapshot of our general fund revenues So currently we have 63.3 million in Revenue about 48 million of which is our lcff the local control funding formula from the state of that um 48 million 16,000 per Ada is what we receive if we were to break that out down into an ADA number and of
011that 16,000 5,000 roughly is what we receive for supplemental and concentration funding so that funding is designated to help support the English Learners free and reduced price meal eligible students and Foster youth students that funding is what we have to um use as our minimum amount for our local control accountability plan that Miss Mendoza puts together and um determines the best use of those fundings to help those students the most in our next slide we have a summary of our general fund expenditures So currently the expenditures are projected to be 65.6 million about 46 million of which is salary and benefits and 19.6 all other expenditures nonn salary we go to the next next slide it's a breakdown of those expenditures of that 65.6 million um Broken Out by function and the function is the
012section of our account code that shows um or identifies the services that we are paying for by activity and the left hand side gives you the detailed breakdown of those exact function codes and on the right I have it kind of summed up to group up the items that are all related to instruction or um Plant Services and whatnot so the instruction is the largest portion at 77% followed by our Plant Services which is like the custodial grounds or maintenance costs at 133% of our expenditures Administration costs coming to about 7% and lastly the other outgo that's our cop payment that we have um the loan for facility improvements and additionally the county office special education services at 3% so majority of our expenditures towards instruction Services which is good and our next slide is
013just a snapshot of those two together so our total revenue at 63.3 million plus our expenditures of 65.6 million we are projecting the current year to have a reduction in fund balance of 2.3 million the largest portion of that is 1.5 million of which is coming from our restricted programs so funding that we have from Grants or other designated purposes so those programs are um areas of the budget they're just spending down the money that's already available for them the other side the unrestricted side we do have a decrease to a typo there decrease to the fund balance of $798,000 um of which $326,000 are yeah 326,000 are one time negotiated cost that will not continue um to be seen in the future years and the next slide this is a multi-year snapshot of our
014current year plus the two subsequent years providing a projection to show um if the district will be able to meet the obligations so in our current year the significant changes that we've seen since the first interim report that I provided earlier as opposed to this second interim report is that we do have all negotiated um changes included in the budget coming to roughly $891,000 for all three units um but like I said earlier only part of that is ongoing some of it is one time um additionally there were some budget changes that were not originally included in the adopted budget that was presented in June our utility cost has increased significantly around $400,000 which is steep um and then additionally some other uh budgetary items that are now reflected in the budget over the next
015few years the largest items or um portions of to not are the increased revenue from our local control funding formula year-over-year we do have a cola that's projected from the governor current year Cola is 1.07 next year is 2.43% increase and the following year a 3.52 projected increase so those um in that increased revenue is included in the projected Revenue um additional items to know is that the we do have reductions for onetime expenditures like those negotiated changes that are just just one time in nature in addition to other um Grant expenditures that are meant to not continue because once we spent them they won't continue to be spent and those have been removed from the budget projections for the future years um in the third year out the last year of our multi-year projection
016it is projected to have a deficit spending of about $110,000 but the highlighting Factor there is that around $600,000 is expected to increase on our fund fund balance from the unrestricted side the restricted program side where it's those again the programs that are earmarked for certain expenditures that has a uh reduction or decrease to the fund balance of around 710,000 so together showing the reduction to fund balance of0 so pretty decent overall and our last second to the last slide here we have a overview of the entire District fund um all the funds and the the overview summary here so we have our eneral fund is what we've been looking at most significantly over those last sides it's where a bulk of all of our uh revenue and expenditures are the other funds we have
017our Student Activity adult Edge Child Development cafeteria deferred maintenance developer fee and the capital outlay which is our facility projects all those other funds are specifically earmarked for those other projects across all funds we do have close to $36 million projected ending fund balance at the end of this school year of that 36 only 16.6 million is set aside for unrestricted purposes not for restricted programs so the state requires that we have a reserve of about $2 million thankfully we have more than that because our average payable is around 3.8 million three months of that average payable amount amount excuse me we would want to have about 11.4 million and with us having 16.6 million we're in a good position to be above that 3 months um amount so overall all in all our current
018projections are we will in fact be able to meet our financial obligations and that the district is in a good position able to report a positive certification last slide any questions can you hear me yes Mary Gonzales Gomez and um I apologize for not filling in that little form I know it's recommended but it didn't sorry sorry um again my name is Mary gones Gomez and I live across the street from John C Fremont school I visit the school regularly and I visit shell beard classroom which is located on the campus frequently I visit the principal Dr centes in her office and as a member of the corkin quanas club I participate in the various school activities that take place at Freemont school and we're looking forward to the math night that's coming up the
