So, uh we want to recognize um our student board members. Uh we're going to start first with uh Cammy and Jonathan who are going to receive certificates for their participation this year, but because you're coming back next year, uh you're going to get a little something extra special next year that you'll get to see Charlie and Gavin here receive here very shortly.

006patch at graduation. And so Gavin will be the only one this year able to wear this patch on his on his gown tomorrow if hopefully you can figure out how to iron it on. I can't get that. Probably have some other ones that you already had to do. And so Gavin Weiland, congratulations. >> Thank you. Thank you. And we'll have the board to get a picture with you as well. >> And while they are doing the picture, I will last year when Gavin I'm pretty sure we gave him his picture last year when he left us.

SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE CARD BY THE WAY. I READ ALL THE GREAT THINGS you guys said. I really appreciate serving with you guys. It was a great time. >> We enjoyed having you both too. We really did. >> Okay. Uh employee spotlight. All right. So our uh board loves to recognize uh students and staff members that demonstrate um academic excellence either through their uh their studies as students or through their uh their craft as professionals in our our district and so the board has asked and this request came specifically from Marjorie Proffitt initially and so I imagine

010that you might want to say a few things as well but we would like to recognize Shruti Badgama WHO IS OUR OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER TECHNICIAN FOR THE district and so I am going to read her certificate because it it just summarizes what we appreciate about her and what she has done for our district and then we also have a a pin to give you and then Marjorie's got a little something else too that she'll share. So in recognition of your outstanding commitment to college and career readiness and dedication to supporting students and families through your leadership of college and career affairs, guidance with college and fast applications, scholarship support, promotion of the seal of civic engagement, and countless other efforts, you consistently go above and beyond to help students achieve their goals and prepare

011for bright futures. Your passion, care, and tireless advocacy making make a lasting difference in the lives of students in the entire school community. >> I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ALLOWED TO DO THAT OR SHRUTI, I just want to I met Shruti about 12 years ago. She made my first grandchild baby shower cake. That's how we met and I have followed her before I was even on the board all the work she was doing with Lincoln High School and then 12 Bridges. You've done an amazing job for our students with your career fairs. I've been to them every year and they're just amazing and every year they get better and better. She has done such a fabulous job partnering with our community and surrounding communities for our students. And you just have a heart of gold

012and I just adore you and I thank you so much for ALL YOUR WORK. >> WORK AROUND YOU AGAIN ONE MORE TIME. Ready one, two, three. >> All good stuff. All feel good stuff. >> Okay, good. All right, so It's not that formal. And what not. Um, all items on the consent agenda will be approved with one motion which is not debatable and requires a unanimous vote for passage. If any member of the board, superintendent, or the public so request, items may be removed from this section and placed in the regular order of business followed following the approval of the consent agenda. Is there any desire to remove anything? Okay. All right, do I have a motion? >> I move to approve the consent agenda. >> Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >>

013All right. Uh, roll call. >> Member Price. >> Yes. >> Thank you. All right, section six. Reports. All right. Yours isn't working either. Okay, so. All right, so we will go to student board member Kim. So, we have some exciting things coming in sports. We already have informational meetings and we're there's going to be like free practices and things like that for sports like flag football and girls golf is having meetings discussing that. Our seniors had their senior parade where they walked through the schools. They went to their elementary schools, they went to their middle schools and it was super it was super cool to see them just go and do that. Senior Assassin is still going. I think we have like three people left. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a very tough battle. Still have

So, we have a lot of students who will be attending college. We have a few students we have one that's going to UC Berkeley. We have two going to UC San Diego. We have one going to UCLA. We have a lot of students going to Chico and Sierra College. A lot of students are So, paths like trade schools and things like that. So, we're just really proud of our zebras for wanting to continue the path after and the things that they're doing. Um so, yeah. Oh, and sorry, we just have finals week going right now, you know, pretty difficult. >> out after

015this? Feel free. >> Yeah, I I think I might have to leave early. >> All right, turn. Okay, it's been a while since I've seen you guys last and a lot has happened. Starting off with sports, um swim received the FBLA banner and it was really tough battles, so congratulations to them. And boys volleyball finished second in the league and boys golf went to the masters tournament collectively and it was a very competitive tournament. I think that for cuz they only take five players at a time and I think four boys had to battle it out and they all shot under par. >> Wow. >> So, it was a very competitive tournament. And we had our spring photography show, which was really great. We have all the pictures posted on our school GE account and

016just around our campus and uh we have very talented photographers at our school. We also had crash fast, which is our last rally of the year where seniors receive their cords and byliteracy recognition. And this week is stampede week for seniors. While other um classes and take their finals, we are in the gym learning how to do our walk and we tomorrow have our barbecue, which everyone is very excited about. Yearbooks were also distributed and this year the theme was you made it happen and it's the biggest yearbook yet and it was really great and yearbook did a really great job. National Honor Society had their induction ceremony on May 22nd and it was very nice. And Crash TV won first place in the STN national competition in the category of school and community feature.

017We also had our awards night for scholarship recipients. Our graduation is this Friday at 9:00 a.m. and we also have Sober Grad from June 6th to June 7th. >> Thank you. Jonathan? >> All right, hello everyone. Uh last Thursday we held our capstone presentation for the after school drone and agriculture program. Students who complete the course share their project and with friends and family. Uh it was a great way for students to show what they learned throughout the program. This project was made possible through our partnership with the University of California Cooperative Extension. So I just thank them. And uh I would also like to thank Mr. Alcorn, which is one of our teachers at Phoenix, uh for teaching and supporting the kids through the program. Uh we also had our Atlas eighth grade promotion

018ceremony yesterday, which they were given cookies and donuts, I think, for their ceremony. So lucky them. Um 11 eighth grade students graduated and um it was a really special event for all of us. We were proud for our classmates and excited for what's what comes next for them. Uh this Thursday we will also be having a a barbecue. Uh for um leadership, which will also be helping um put together yearbooks, and students will receive a copy at the event. Also, school summer school began on June 15th at Phoenix High School. Miss Tang, which is our school counselor, will be organizing the program, and students will have the opportunity to continue learning and earning credits over the summer. >> Thank you. All right. Off to the Board of Trustees member Dr. Lee. >> Yes. Um about

019your drone program, I sat in on some of that this past year and it's a terrific program. >> Thank you. >> I'm glad you're part of it and you had a chance to learn from it. >> can you turn your microphone on? >> Oh, sure. Am I on? >> You got to turn do the mic on properly. >> Sure. How's that better? >> Better. >> Okay. How's that? >> I think this is the top five, right? Or is it the top three or four? >> It's on just a minute. There you go. Oh. All right. That's a bit much. Um So, I had a chance to go to the Lehman talent show on this past Wednesday and get seeing these these kids in the talent show which was just wonderful and I recommend it for

020folks. Uh I also had the opportunity to be a judge at the the all school art show at 12 Bridges Middle School. There was uh Marjorie Profit and April and I'm not sure who else might have been a judge amongst us, but uh the one thing we can all agree on that uh it's really hard It doesn't sound like it, but being a judge in an art show is very hard because they're all really terrific. I mean, these are great artists and uh it's pretty hard to tell Rembrandt that he got a second place, but that's that's what we were required to do and hopefully you did a good job. Um Two other things. Uh first um I'm looking forward to the graduation and I'm practicing my best uh handshake along with my enthusiastic great

021job and uh you're a graduate now. Well done. So, I I practice that and uh it's it's just a real thrill to look in the eyes of these kids when they they've really worked hard and done something great and you can see how how they're just bursting with pride and I'm happy to be a part of that. And my final thing and I'll just 2026, 2016 uh oh, 20 2006, 2016, and 2026, those the schools in our area and around the country really weren't wildly or dramatically different, but from 20 26 to 2036 they are going to be and I don't think any of us knows how this AI is going to affect us. Everybody in this room I don't think you can possibly predict in 10 years what it's going to be like, and

022I guarantee you it won't be anything like we have now. It'll just completely different, and this man knows it because he's been studying it, too. And it's a big opportunity, but it's it's also a little scary. So, AI is going to be part of what we do, and I hope we do a great job of it. Thank you. >> Yeah, who forgot? Yeah. That's what That's what's interesting about things starting to All right. Member Price? >> I have no update for you. >> All right. Member Framingham? Well, I've got to tell you about some great days I had last week. Um I was part of uh I attended uh part of the Shadow Project for the classification um classified staff. And on um last Tuesday, I was with Sherry Smith, who was a para at

023Carlin Coppin. And uh she has a she's a one-on-one uh para uh with a nonverbal student. And um we sat in Gen Ed for a while, uh and then we went over to the uh special ed classrooms, and I saw all these bright faces and smiles. It was just beautiful. Um we broke out in uh smaller groups, and I was able to actually I was able to work with the young man, and we traced her his letters cuz his aid was the other aid was busy. So, I got to help out. So, that was a great day. And on Friday, I had another great day. Um I was at the bus barn at 6:00 a.m. and on a bus to Sheridan. Um I was on a special ed um bus with Brandy Gutierrez, and you

024could tell uh Brandy just lights up the bus. And her kids were amazing. Um I actually watched her um uh load up a a wheelchair student and thought how much of detail that had to go into, you know, bringing them up, locking them in, make sure they were safe and everything. So, that was really nice to see. And uh how she just took care of all the kids and their special needs when they got on the bus and she knew exactly where they where they were to sit, how to buckle them up. It was just she was just amazing. And um so, um you know, I'm really looking forward to doing that next year if we can do that. Um and I'd actually like to do something with the teachers as well. I'd love to

025shadow a teacher for the day cuz we don't know what they go through. So. I'd like that. Oh, and I'm sorry, one more. Uh I attended the um FFA banquet and awards night and that was a great night. And um our FFA students are just fabulous. So. Yeah. >> Is it working? >> Okay. >> Um >> Where'd you go to the event? >> Oh, okay. I did judge the art show. Um >> Carrie and general judges, too, in case anybody's better. It wasn't all just us. Um >> I met with Cherry Spriggs about the survey she's conducting in our community and um I went to the Sacramento Ballet with one of the Oak Ridge High School teachers. It was amazing. I'd go to ballet every night if I could. I met with Jen Haladin, uh

026Jennifer Horton, and uh Carrie about recognizing our CTE pathways and future graduation and all kinds of ways to recognize our students that will be happening in the future. Um let's see. I finished reading Patriots from the Barrio. I loved it. Um it's a great story that we're probably going to adopt, I believe, or it'll be up for us to adopt. Um it's a about um the only all um Mexican-American US Army infantry that we've ever had. So, it's a it's a really compelling story. I liked it. Um, and then what else? I think that's it. Oh, I would like to just give an update from Barrett House. We did not make it to the the farm was not able to do their business meeting cuz Christie had a family emergency and my daughter had a

027car accident. So, we both missed it. So. >> And there was a vice president that was gone. >> Yeah. >> They couldn't conduct any business. >> So, we couldn't handle it. We'll get it handled soon. >> All right, thank you. So, had lots of meetings. Don't want to bore everybody with them cuz there were ridiculously too many. But, I did love the art show. I My husband and I do a date night every Friday and that's one of our top date nights is going to um, he holds the ribbons and I pick. So, he's very useful. Everyone else is dropping theirs and I am not. So, he's a good sport. He loves it, too. He loves art. Um, and then I um, I attended the cultural What was it called, Will? The cultural day? >>

028Yeah, cultural fair. >> Cultural fair. >> Diversity day. >> Th- thank you. Diversity day. Thank you. >> Cultural day. >> Yeah. Um, at LHS and I tell you what, if you want to go, you want to learn, I was I was so blown away. You want to learn about other countries that these kids have studied, they put posters up and they make food. Yeah. I There was so much food. It was absolutely incredible. So, it was it was a a really um, it was a really fun time. Yes. Yeah, so. Um, I It was a good time. So, those were the two things that I did that were super fun. Um, so I am attending uh Phoenix tomorrow, Phoenix graduation and Gems on Thursday. Um, I just kind of if we could go down the

Thanks, Rosanne. Okay. Superintendent Callahan. >> All right. I will keep mine uh brief and just talk about uh couple things that were not already mentioned. So, I was able to go to the October Ridge High School sports spectacular, which is kind

031of our version of the Special Olympics and where all of our special needs students are able to come together at October Ridge High School and just have an incredible game day and participate in all sorts of athletic activities and lots of October Ridge High School students there volunteering and just need a huge shout out to Cindy Cindy Willis who was a big part of coordinating it and all the other staff throughout the district and our transportation department for making that happen so all of our schools were able to participate. It was awesome. And then kudos to Mike Mall for coordinating the district office outing last Friday evening for us to be able to participate in the Placer County partnership with the Potters to do employee appreciation. And so teachers and and others were recognized on

032Friday night at the Potters game and we all attended to celebrate them as well. So that was awesome. And then total shout out to Linda Miller and other art teachers in the district for the art show. It was awesome. There was one that was so so hard but there was one piece of art and you may some of you may have seen it what was the ADHD um middle school student who it was just titled ADHD and it was a head on a body and all sorts of like chaotic painting colors and then all of the words that might be coming out of the brain of somebody with ADHD and I literally saw it and started balling and that got my absolute number one ribbon because watching my son go through that and just kind

033of seeing like for a moment like, "Woo." And uh yeah, it was it was absolutely amazing. There was some other artwork that displayed um that type of depiction of what people go through. Yeah. Yeah, it was wonderful. Yeah. Okay. All right. Oh. So, we have a public hearing on the 20 26 27 proposed LCAP. Uh Jen? Good evening, board. Um it's my pleasure to welcome up Reno Penders. He's the um architect behind our LCAP. He keeps it up-to-dated and works with all of the people that are involved in managing the document. Um this public hearing is to um discuss and receive feedback from you all in the community about the changes that we've engaged in this year and things that are coming up in the future. Um this is specifically related to our LCAP, which

034has two focus areas. One related to um college and career readiness, the other one um related to engagement of students and families in their school education. Um and this is specifically related to our LCAP dollars um that we manage with input from students, staff, and the community. So, I'm going to invite up Reno. He's got a presentation and we'll be happy to entertain questions or comments from the community at the end. Um you all will be actually um looking at this again. This is just an information public hearing and you'll be looking at this again at the next board meeting for action. >> Thank you. >> Good evening. Hope you're all doing well. Good to see you again. Um another year, another LCAP. Not sure what happened. Um this year will be as riveting as

035as always. So, just hold on tight. Here we go. So, our LCAP is our local control and accountability plan. And it's our plan that helps us really overview our budget spending um and how we are going to help students um that are struggling in education and ultimately close the achievement gap. In our district, the kids that um tend to struggle are English learners, are socially economically disadvantaged, are foster homeless students, and our students disabilities. So, those are typically our target groups um that we've been working on. Um the LCAP is really a collaboration of a lot of different groups giving input and then ultimately coming to the board and Placer County Office of Ed for approval. Um so, we get input from our administration teams on kind of their needs and their uh site SPSA

036plans. We work with our parent groups, which is the parent advisory committee or the PAC, and our district English learners advisory committee or DELAC. And then we send out lots of surveys through the year um from parents and community giving input. Those all then kind of filter through our LCAP uh leadership team, which we meet monthly, and then that information then ultimately comes together into the LCAP, and then looking in a couple weeks for your approval one way or the other. So far, so good? All right. Um our two LCAP goals, um all students will graduate from high school college and career ready, and all students and families will be actively engaged in learning and in the school communities. Um so, those are our two big overarching goals that we kind of work with everything

037else to kind of get into. Um the LCAP itself is in your board packet, the full one. It's 140 something pages for your reading if you guys are uh got a little time tonight. Um it's going to include the budget overview for parents, our 25-26 annual update, so So all of our analysts um of all the data and stuff and then our goals, metrics, and actions over the last 3 years. So kind of big overview what LCAP's doing for us again. So the programs that it funds is our avid, our parent and school community liaisons, our counseling and mental health supports, academic interventions including credit recovery programs at the high schools, all of our English learner supports, professional developments across the district, our college and career centers, and our instructional aid supports in the kindergarten

038classrooms. And if I continue on that path, it also funds our homeless and foster liaison, different technology programs across the district including Schoology, Turnitin, i-Ready, and Performance Matters. Each school site gets two pots of money out of this. So their allocations to support goal and goal one and goal two kind of how they see fit. We're paying for at least indirectly and directly three wellness centers at the high school and Glen Edwards Middle School. Our newcomer ELD programs, our dual language program, TOSA so overseeing the DLI program at Creekside Oaks. It pays for progress monitoring, more academic interventions, after school tutoring, and ultimately district oversight. So lots and lots of things going on in the LCAP to help support students. Um as we're looking towards next year and ending up this year for goal one

039some additions and changes. So as you guys are aware, we're working hard on the early literacy. So we're going to continue expanding the early literacy plan and reading difficulty risk screeners. So that's I'll I'll about that specifically, but that's going to get expanded. We're going to pull some money back into the LCAP high school. Credit recovery was getting paid out of the ELOP fund, but the ELOP fund's getting kind of hit by everybody right now, so we're going to shift that back into the LCAP next year. Common assessment development and PLC support will continue to be in there. Our PowerSchool tech platforms are supported through there, so we have data across the district. Our literacy initiative teacher leads, so that's the one of the big changes coming. So, we're going to add a teacher lead

040to kind of fill that void when Jennifer left with all the work we're doing in early literacy. A lot of that plan will be looking at new curriculum, continuing the M-class, training additional staff to help students in intervention. Um, the teachers reporting back they actually really like M-class and the data that's pulling coming off of it, which is going to be in the early literacy thing coming up next next board meeting. But, the question is what do we do next? So, these dollars are going to support what do we do next, which is intervention with these kids that are struggling. We also want to add literacy ISP, so those will be additional staff members at each elementary school to help support early literacy. College and career project special assignment, so adding classified position there. And

041Michaela's done a fantastic job this year with parent engagement nights, and we want to continue to support that and expand that out. Um, we're paying for part of her salary that goes into that, and then all of the engagement for the parents, so dinners and things like that to get more parents out there. So, that's stuff we're looking at adding for goal one. For goal two, um, continue to enhance uh platforms that track and supports MTSS, which is called analytics and insights. It's a project that Emily Ortiz is working on and we're excited to get that one really going for next year cuz it'll allow all the data land in one spot for people to use. Um continue to support social emotional programs at the secondary level. Expanding support for the student senate and they

042have some cool things going on across the summer. Expand another wellness center at Tualatin Valley Middle School. And um switching from a wellness together model to a counseling model. So, um they talked earlier about adding uh counselor position over see elementary counselors. So, that's shifting how we're going to support in that way. Um again, I said this before, but it hits two goals, the expansion of parent engagement nights. That's the work that Michaela's doing. And alluded to this elementary school lead counselor and wellness coaches at the elementary sites. So, questions so far? Kind of ran through it fast. >> Are you looking for questions from us about the content? In terms of what's been presented? Give me a Yeah, give me a sense of what you're >> Um so, at the at the next meeting

043um you guys would approve or not approve that. So, do you do you have any questions about what we're doing, what we're spending, the direction we're going? And then public comment if they have comments on that. >> Sure. I mean, I what jumps out at me is the foster youth chronic absenteeism of of being 18.3 points, like 35% is a big jump. I'm just curious if you have any eyes on how maybe what drives that and do you think we've shored it up? >> Our data's looking much better right now on that specifically. The the amount of kids that are in that group are are pretty small. >> Okay. >> Um I think when that data came across, it was a total of 32 kids or am I two off is it 34 kids? Do

044you remember Jen? >> Um I think 32 sounds right. >> Okay. So there's 32 kids. That data works kind of interestingly. So if a if a homeless foster student in any time of year is identified they're part of your your group. They can leave your campus, they can go somewhere else, they can do the things they do but they stay in your data point. So there's there's sort of a kind of a microcosm of everything else going on. So what we've done with them is we've been working with PCOE and we've been tracking every foster and homeless kid in the district um throughout the year. So every site admin knows who they are, what they're going through, what their challenges are, and watching attendance and their behavior rates. Again, we're looking pretty solid this year.

045We had a group in that small group that had some behavior issues last year and that kind of spike data, that's that big jump you saw. Um I don't have a great answer for why or why not but but we're ahead of the group this year. Um what we're really talking about though is that's one group of many. So how do we just continue to create systems that support all and then not get those little spikes in data out of small subgroups. And that's really those data tracking systems and watching it. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> If I could add one thing, I would say too that our our site um our site administrators are very aware of the focus on attendance and each one of them in their own ways really tackled

046that uniquely. I'll give you just um a couple of quick examples. Uh very recently just the other day um Ashley Sanders sent us something that I'll put on the board update on Friday um that talks about uh setting goals with students that had some chronic absenteeism and then providing them with incentives that they then met and it was a remarkable the outcome that just having a conversation and setting a goal and then providing what was really a token um that was really meaningful to the child had had um differently but related to attendance. I'm speaking specifically about Blossom Ranch. They have done a huge amount earlier this fall that was around celebrating positive attendance and bringing connecting that to heroism and bringing in first responders and other people that were celebrating kids and really I'm

047going above and beyond with their attendance. So everybody's handling it a little bit differently and really trying to find ways that are supportive of their community to help tackle that um percentage specifically related to absentee rates. >> The the data so that I understand it if a child experiences um I mean there's a couple things right but homelessness at one point during the school year, does that number get captured throughout the school year? >> Yeah, not really. >> So even if this is a transient issue and is resolved child finds a place to stay or whatever, that that's still a permanent number on >> So if you're in at any point in the year, you're in the data set for that year. >> Okay, that helps me to better understand. >> It's kind of a

048different It's a weird data set in in some >> ways. >> And um we're in DA for that subgroup right now hence we're working with PCUE and and all the stuff that they've been talking about. Um they're looking at it in the next LCAP cycle changing so a small subgroup probably wouldn't put you in DA because there's a lot of resources and time that goes behind that. Differentiated assistance. >> Your >> Okay, that helps me to better understand. >> Your data is um your overall data either too low or it was too >> negative that big chunk you saw. >> Okay, okay. >> And it's in um the next meeting we talked about there's priority areas there's there's like 10 priority areas that we're going to talk through. If you get hit in two of

049those with any subgroup you go in the DA but they're looking at slightly changing that moving in the future. >> Excuse me, can I ask a question while we're working? Um the foster youth is a really unique group that what you were talking about. So we've really been thinking about what do we do specifically support our foster youth. And Kayla's been an advocate and Kayla's right over there. She's been highly engaged in connecting us with the county to do work around that. >> Excuse me, Megan. >> The recognizing was so and she'll be talking a little bit about the work she's doing specifically as a health leader in in today's meeting. But really thinking about who are all of our really high-risk student populations. Being thoughtful about how are we approaching this with every child,

050whole child mentality to all of these unique populations. Um you know, thinking about our foster youth, our really community and justice students, um our free and reduced lunch students, our English language learners. These are populations of students that really have a high level of need. Really thinking about how are we creating systems to support all of those kids, which will help us in our overall data points and keep us out of things like DA. I'll send the board some information about DA. I shared it before, but I'll send it again since it's relevant to the conversation. >> I have a question. Can you explain what the switching from Wellness Together to a counseling model entails? >> Yeah, and Jen can jump in because he's done a little more of this, but but I'll start. So

051So we we had um a program we brought in when I was a principal of the Wellness the Wellness um coaches and stuff. And they're expensive. And we didn't see a lot of kind of growth out of it. Um so we're hoping by kind of internalizing and adding counselors and wellness coaches we can reduce costs and hit more kids in a more meaningful way. Do you want to expand on that? >> Um only just to say that the Wellness Together was a service um that was providing um counseling support through kind of like an intern type model. They were only seeing like say eight to 10 kids at a time. And if a kid was absent, the kid was absent. Whereas these other models allow us they're our employees and so they're able to see

052whoever needs the support and not just the eight or 10 kids around the caseload. So we're confident that we can reach a much wider volume of students um through the model that we're moving towards. >> Are we saving money on this new model? >> Yes. >> Oh, yay. >> And and the the hard part on the The one was is when you originally got the Wellness because I was one of the first campuses, if not the first campus who got it. Like it was pretty cheap. And then in year three, it was pretty expensive. So, I don't wouldn't call it a bait and switch, but there was a little bit of bait going on. How's that? >> And then I teach you that with wellness together, it was kind of like we just we were

053doing our best to cover as many schools as we could, and not everybody was getting everything. So, one of our priorities is going to be sure that everybody's getting something. So, we really put a lot of energy post COVID with our wellness um centers as you know where they can come to visit at both the high schools and now at both middle schools. Um the the work with the hub and the um the community schools has also been really helpful there. And this really helps to shore up the support at the elementary level, which is a space that there's not a lot of support currently. >> Okay. All right, carry on. >> So, at this point it's really just those are kind of the big overview of what we're doing, which hasn't drastically changed. Um

054doing some internal tweaks inside the LCAP um where the funding will just shift for a little bit. Um next year the LCAP is a rewrite, so we kind of not that you start over, but you start the rewriting of it over. Um and our big goal that we started right now is is tracking the data better. So, if we're if we're spending, you know, a million dollars on the wellness centers, what are the results of that million dollars? So, we can better kind of track >> dollars on the wellness centers. Just so we're clear. >> Sorry, two two million dollars on the wellness centers? I just threw a number out that was easy. But, the point being is you can you can track um the data better and kind of see what's working and what's

055not working. Um kind of where we're at. And then um any other questions? >> Any questions? >> No. >> Oh, yeah. Um I saw that in moving forward, you're going to add like a third goal of closing the achievement gap. And I was just wondering why couldn't you tack that on to the goal of like having students be college and career ready. Like why could that be a bad thing? >> That is an excellent question. Um and you could. And in full disclosure, my my issue was we we weren't. >> Okay. >> So we've had it the same way for a lot of time and we still are seeing the same group of kids struggle. So we really wanted to call out those kids that are struggling independently so we could target them more specifically.

056That kind of makes sense? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> But you're not wrong in what you're thinking behind this stretch. It was just trying to be more intentional. >> All right. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thanks for it. >> Yeah. >> I'd like to open the public hearing now. Anybody from the public can approach the podium and give us comments. >> I still tired from reading the LCAP. >> For the meeting? >> Probably. >> All right, seeing none, I will close the public hearing. All right. I missed one. All right, public hearing document here. On uh Western Placer proposed budget, carried. public hearing >> Hello. >> Um we are required in uh adopting our budget each year to hold a public hearing at the meeting prior to the actual budget adoption. And

057we um so that's what we are doing now. The in the um in the board packet, there was the proposed budget. And in a little bit after this, I will be doing a presentation on that proposed budget. But right now, this is the public hearing portion. >> I am opening the public hearing. Anybody who has any comments can approach the podium. All right, I'm closing the public hearing. All right. That's it? Good. All right, moving on. Okay, public hearing on naming of the facility at Lincoln High School. Sue Kidd Cannon. >> Yes. It is rare for a school boards to have public hearings. It's even more rare to have three in one evening. So, it just is happens to be how it works out. So, the board will recall that there was some discussion regarding

058requests to consider naming a the facility at Lincoln High School, specifically the theater or components therein, in honor of Lee Basham, who is a 16-year plus volunteer for the district that works 363 days a year to provide service to the drama programs, first at Lincoln High School, and then at Tubman High School as well. And so, over the course of his time serving our district as a volunteer, it's been asked from different community members that we consider naming the Lincoln High School theater in his honor. We did a survey after the most recent, which was two years ago, three years ago ish, and then I brought back to the board just as an information item and then you all said let's move forward and do a public hearing because that's a requirement with our board

059policy and to come to you with a recommendation from staff. So one of the we we've done survey we've done input and now I'm coming with a recommendation for public hearing and if it were solely up to me recommending it, which technically it's the superintendent's recommendation, but I took feedback from cabinet and obviously looked at survey results from from community in in the past. There is strong support for sure for the theater to be named after Lee Basham in his honor. There were also some those that felt that maybe it shouldn't be him, it should be named after other employees that have have served in in our district in the past. And so what we talked about as cabinet and myself was offering up that we that the board consider naming the control room at

060Lincoln High School the Lee Basham control room because that is where he would spend some of his time. If it were up to me solely recommending it and no I wasn't taking any input from anybody based on my experience with Lee and and the tremendous impact that he has had on our drama program for so many years working for free. I would I would recommend the theater, but out of respect for lots of um, of of input. Uh, we are recommending to the board that it be, uh, the Lee Basham control room because that is one area that he spent time when the plays actually were happening. But when he wasn't in the control room, he was everywhere else in the theater doing, um, set building and, uh, supporting the students in the um, drama

061department in many different ways. The only place that he didn't spend a lot of time was on stage acting cuz that was not his uh, was not his forte. So, it's, uh, it is, uh, the, um, board policy that we hold a public hearing to, uh, provide members of the public the opportunity to provide feedback or input or and thoughts to the board. And then what I would be seeking from you at the end of the public hearing is, um, uh, some direction as to what actual action item you would like us to bring forward, if any, at the June 16th meeting or it could be a later date as well, but our thinking was that the June 16th meeting that you would be taking action to adopt, um, something or nothing if you choose

062to go that direction. So, >> All right. >> So, do you need to discuss and then hold a public hearing? All right. Discussion. >> 363 days, like is that a You said that so confidently like we've been tracking we've been There was no thing. What happened that that one weekend? What was going on with that? >> It was Christmas Day and I believe Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day were the only two days of the year that he does not show up to support in some cuz if he's not supporting the drama productions, he's showing up to help with the band concert or the or the music or he's helping with Yeah. >> And he's retiring, I heard, right? He's not retiring. >> retired. But he I saw him Yeah. >> Yeah, he's retired.

063>> He He came by last week to provide me with a binder. Um it's about yay big of all of the things that he has done and he basically wrote a binder book of all the uh stuff with directions to hand to the next person so that they don't >> a desk manual >> flail. Yeah, exactly. And um and he did say that to the extent that he can be there next year that he will. He did say that it would not be 363 days, but I imagine that next year and until we are able to ride without training wheels um that he will continue to provide that that support in the capacity that he can, but he he and his wife um both um are are getting older and um and it's taking a

064a toll on his physical abilities and he just it's time for him to step back, so. >> Any comments, discussion from the board? >> I was going to ask you, Cammy. I was I was coming for you. >> I'll wear a tie. >> Oh, we're going out of the holster for this one. You can walk around. >> Um I just think that the fact that he he's not paid. This isn't his job. He just decided to do it for the love of the game, sincerely. You know, he has been there for so long and he has just showed such kindness and graciousness and just such talent, you know, to be able to take nothing and build it into something, right? He built beautiful sets, you know, Have you guys seen Chicago? Did you go see

065Chicago? Yes. All that. That was him. That the stairs and the ladders, all that, that was him, you know? And just I just feel like um for me personally, I feel like it'd be more fair to him to name the theater after him because it wasn't just the sound booth. Yes, he was there, but he was maybe not on stage, but he was behind the stage managing the things. He was building the things. Is this even on? He was building the things. Like I just feel like to have just the sound booth named after him, I feel like it's taking away from what he's done and we're kind of saying like, "Ooh, this was his most prominent part." No, he was just part of the theater as a whole. You know, he really loves that

066theater. I believe it. I just think that to name it after him is to show the hard work that he has put into it and just the passion and the love that he has for it. So, even though yes, it is a service to him, it's also showing the service that he did for us, for the kids. So, I just feel like it'd be really important and really impactful to show how that's the decision that we want to make or that's the decision that I would want to make personally. I >> I share your sentiments. I was going to say I think we should name the whole theater after him. >> Yeah. I And I just And I saw uh it was recently like drama awards night and they had a present I wasn't there

067personally, but I did see on people's stories like they had a presentation for him and so many people were so emotional about how important he is for them, you know? So, I just feel like for students also who have um essentially spent their lives in the theater or like spent their high school careers in theater cuz we have some who have been there been through all all the plays, going to be like, you know, stars and everything like that. So, for them to see the fact that the man that has made an impact on them, now they can see that we're walking into a theater named after after him, I feel like it'll be really important for them as well, you know, like, "Wow, this is really it's a really good like they'll be touched

068by that, I believe. So. >> Thank you, Cammy. Anybody else? >> I I I I I you couldn't name it after anybody else. He's done it for 16 years with a generation of kids. Andy, how many was it? 363? >> 363 >> Allegedly. >> Yeah, allegedly. Allegedly. >> Just kidding. >> Sure. >> And uh it's it's got to be Andy's. He was the backbone of the theater. And I know he's getting older and he's getting tired, but he's going to show up next year alive. I would give a 100% to this award. >> No, we need him. I need him to build my six sets, though. For the musical six, though. >> Yeah, and I would say we'd be hard-pressed to find someone who's given that much service to the district. Anywhere. Service. >> I

069mean, they're I'm not taking away from what many staff have done or anything like that, but pure free service just out of the love of of the theater. >> We have some amazing volunteers in this community. Across the board. about that. Want to ask Rotary that give up hours and hours and give their time for our students. >> Yes. >> Okay. Any more discussion? >> No, I wanted to hear public comment. >> All right, ladies too. So, we're going to open the public hearing and then the public can come up and uh make their comments. >> Yes, a 3-minute >> Do we have a timer? >> There was a timer. >> Cool. Um I just wanted to say I agree with Cammy. And also, I think this is a surprise for Mr. Basham. I don't

070think Yeah, no one's It was I think it was orchestrated by Hank Florence and in a sense. No? No? Well. >> It's actually a a a community member. >> Oh, perfect. Well, yeah, it's a surprise for him and I think it's very very cool. And I agree with Ken that Yeah, it's very important. >> Anybody else? >> Anybody wants to throw their hat in the ring? No? >> We will close this public hearing. So, now we owe uh carry some direction on what you we want your recommendation to be. >> And and your official recommendation >> my recommendation. >> Right, but the recommendation you're presenting to the board is that the control room be named and that's I would assume to be more inclusive. >> It it's to to recognize to recognize that there were

071others that >> Sure. >> community when we did the survey, um there was support for Early and then there were others that thought no and and recommended other names that were former staff members. Um and so, it was kind of like, well, if if there was official requests for folks to come forward for those members then it would leave room >> Yeah. >> And and it if you named the theater, it still leaves room within the theater for components of the theater to be named as well or a music room or >> Or advertising sponsorships or basketball >> So, >> We could start doing >> Yes. >> That's good. >> Yes, because because in theory if we name the control room if it's just the control room, there's still room for it to be changed

072to something other than Lincoln High School theater at some point and still have the Lee Basham control. So, but just All right, Ken, go ahead. >> Um I was just wondering who were the other individuals cuz I remember it was a certain band director, right, that was they that people also wanted to honor? >> So Ed Cummings was was a drama teacher previously and then What What was his first name? >> Paul Crabtree. I remember the last name. Paul Crabtree was a music teacher >> I feel like >> High School. >> Yeah, I feel like at that point um maybe they would have the facilities named after them. Like for example, Mr. Crabtree was a music teacher you said, right? I feel like having the Crabtree music room named or um the Mr. Cummings um

073sound booth or something. I just feel like, you know, um as you said Mr. Ba- Mr. Basham could be named after this or the sound booth can be named after Mr. Basham, sorry. And then we could have other facilities named after other people. I feel like we can do that in reverse. We can name the theater after Mr. Basham and then anybody else we can name the facilities after them. So. >> Thanks, Cammy. >> Do we generally name things after staff? Have we done that before in the district? >> Dale Pence Gym where the Lincoln High School Theater resides. >> Yeah, the gyms. And that was staff. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so we we do have Yeah. >> Dale Pence, was he a teacher as well or was he just a >> And a principal. >>

074Oh, okay. >> We name schools after staff, too. >> We I know that. >> Carlin C. Coppin after our first superintendent. >> Got him in, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I think it'd be a wonderful gesture to start naming parts of our facilities after all the people who volunteer countless hours for free to us. I really I think it would be a wonderful thing to do. So So you want to >> on her? >> Kimmy and Dennis. >> We'll work on that. I love that, Kimmy. >> I My vote is Kimmy. >> Yeah, and we're not voting. We're just going to make a recommendation to to Carrie. So >> I I don't think you need a nudge here, but um I think there's the man and then there is the work and this community's full

075of incredible people. A lot of them do volunteer, but some haven't uh been enticed to do so yet. And I think standing up and saying like we really do recognize and value people that pour into young people. So by doing that, you're not just celebrating him as a person, but you're also celebrating the someone's willingness to lean in like that and just sort of you know, takes a village. So I I'd say for that reason it makes a lot of sense to name the theater after him as well. >> Mhm. >> So are we are we making a recommendation? >> We're Yeah, just what would your recommendation be to Carrie for the theater? For >> Okay, and I hope the name is >> I think >> My recommendation would be to name the theater after

076him as well. >> And mine is the same as of course. So if you have your recommendation for next >> So you know, real fuzzy direction over here. Sorry. >> So then uh June 16th I will bring an action item um and we will make sure that there's public notice and and all the things. So if if anyone perhaps wants to oppose that. And the way in which we posted it was that Lincoln High School Theater or components therein. And my recommendation um but you have the authority to change direction. This is one area where you do have a lot of control. So um yeah. So all right, we will bring back the um action item for the theater for June 16th. >> I preferentially suggest You can put it out there. You can put

077it out there. >> I wasn't sure where you were going. >> I'm putting it out there. I say that >> We have no idea how this vote's going to go. >> It's going to be a nail-biter. >> It's going to be a long one. All right. Okay. Thank you. All right, let's move on to action items. Oh, it did jump. Okay. 8.1 approval of new classified management site-based student services coordinator. Mike Mahon. >> Good evening. So, a couple items for you. Our first item is the creation of a new position that will fall within the classified management salary schedule. And the genesis of this is as we've had some movement within our assistant principal population staff members at the two high schools doing a bit of a review of our staffing there. And in looking

078at the numbers, we currently had three assistant principals at both our high schools. And in comparing that staff and allocation to other high schools of similar sizes, that's that's one area where we were pretty robustly numbered, well ahead of the curve and and staffed probably higher than most sites were. And do we want to continue that as we look at how can we be as streamlined as possible without also just, you know, gutting sites and taking away services because we do know that it's easy to say, "Oh, you don't need three. We have more than other sites." But there's other areas where maybe we're not as robustly staffed and our sites have come to rely on having three staff members in assist in addition to the principal to support the work that they do. And

079no one can say that they aren't working hard and have very full plates. So, it's presented the opportunity of how we maybe think outside the box to still see if we can streamline and potentially have a net savings. That's something we have to candidly be aware of as we're looking at the tougher economic times. But at the same time, not removing the services that the sites have come to depend on. So, in working with the cabinet and working with the principals at both sites, uh we came up with a different position that is being called the site-based student services coordinator. And as a classified management position, this allows us to do a few things. They can still do many of the jobs that an assistant principal would do, not quite all. They call out a

080couple of things that uh someone without an administrative credential can do. They cannot evaluate certificated staff, and they can't do major um discipline items such as student suspensions and expulsions, and they wouldn't be doing things like heavy instructional leadership because they don't have expertise in that role. Aside from that, they can do many of the duties that assistant principal can do, including student supervision, supporting any programs going on on campus. They can evaluate classified staff. So, they can do many of the things that an assistant principal can do, just not those duties that are exclusive to a certificated staff member. So, long story short, we have someone who is going to work a shorter work year, not being required an administrative credential, so we can have not a lessening of actual manpower, but lessening of

081how many administrative credential staff members are on site. So, they're not losing bodies. Uh we can still streamline a little bit and yield a net savings. So, this was a really outside-the-box process piece. We included both unions and notifying them. We consulted legal. So, we really tried to do our ducks in a row with this new position, and we're excited about how it can provide support to our sites uh and still yield the cost savings for the district. >> All right. Thank you. Any questions for Mike? >> No, I think it's a very creative way to maintain the the abilities and and and and keep a person there and then maybe you save a dollar or two. That's not a lot. idea. >> How are both sites feeling about it? Are they happy to have

082that additional support since >> I I I think they're happy that they're not losing a human. I don't want to speak for them. The conversations was conversation was with them and being super transparent, it is not the same as having a full assistant principal. I mean to say anything otherwise would be disingenuous. But in looking at again, it's at the size of the sites, um high schools with less than 1200 people don't typically have three assistant principals and that's not to take away from when that's our normal. It's easy to say, "Oh, you can do with two." So I think this was a very fair middle ground. Um so they were clear conversation, but I I'm sure it's still going to be some adjustment. >> Any more questions for Margaret? I'm assuming that in the

083future we'll get reports on how this is working. >> Absolutely. We will definitely be very I agree. Uh anything can sound good in vacuum and on the test room. Uh we'll definitely be speaking with our our admin team to find out how it's actually working. >> Great. And >> a person in mind? >> Not as of yet. And this is actually a pretty exciting opportunity. The fact that it doesn't require an administrative credential will allow some of maybe our classified members who have always maybe wanted to ascend into administrative position. It does require a bachelor's degree by the way. So we do have that level of requirement on it. But I think it provides some exciting opportunities for people who maybe don't have an admin credential, but have wanted to take a leadership role within

084a school to have that opportunity. >> Okay. That's great. >> I'm looking for a new job. >> Me too. >> I have a bachelor's. >> I know. >> That position will be on that joint in the near future. >> I think I might know the interview panel though. Okay. All right. Do I have a motion? >> I I so move. >> Okay. Uh do I have a second? >> Yeah, I'll second. >> All right. Um all in favor say I. >> I. All opposed? All right. Motion passes. 8.2. >> Yeah, 8.2 is the approval of a new certificated substitute salary rate schedule. Um we for the first time ever had a substitute nurse uh join our substitute ranks, which is great. Um and we were just paying them as we paid our other and nurses,

085in case you didn't know, are part of our Wita teaching bargaining group. And so we were paying them at the same rate as our substitute teachers, and that went well for a little while, and then that substitute nurse, you know, to their credit, like started looking around some other districts and said, "Hey, you know, we're a little bit behind." And so I did some homework and she was absolutely right. Um we were paying $185 a day, which is our substitute rate for a teacher. Um typical sub nurse pay rates, as I looked at a few districts nearing us, were anywhere between $375 and $450 per day. And that's just That's what And these are RNs, by the way. So that's the kind of pay that RNs do commandeer at a daily rate. Um so this

086was calculated at the daily rate of an RN in our Wita bargaining group at the lowest salary schedule. So we calculated their lowest potential salary schedule and created a daily rate out of that, so that we are now going to be at 360, which is on the lower end, but it's still within a stone's throw of what the other districts around us are doing. And a benefit to this is if we're without a sub nurse and we need a nurse, we're often having to use contracted nurses to provide those services, and contracted nurses are far, far more expensive. So we we we hope >> All right. Any questions for Mike? >> Not for me. >> No? Do I have a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> All right. >> I'll second. >>

087All right. Any discussion? All right. All in favor, say I. >> I. >> All opposed? All right. Motion passes. 8.3 >> Yeah, and 8.3 is the contract extensions for our cabinet and senior management positions. These are five positions that are typically granted a two-year contract at first initiation, and then each year with a positive evaluation, those contracts are extended four years. So, this is for the superintendent or excuse me, the assistant superintendent of Ed Services, the assistant superintendent of personnel, the CBO, and then our director of maintenance and operations. No, I take it back, our director of maintenance and operations and our director of technology. Sorry, that that senior management one's a bit of an oddball, so those two directors as well. So, all of these people were able to gain positive evaluations from their

088evaluators, and so we are offering to extend their contract by a year. >> All right. Any questions for Mike? >> Who does the evaluations? >> Depends on Well, yeah, for the cabinet would be Carrie. For M&O, that would be Carrie. Yeah, so it's Carrie one way or the other. >> All right. Any more questions? Do I have a motion? >> I'll move to approve. >> I'll second. >> All right. Any discussion? All right. All in favor, say I. >> I. >> All opposed? All right. Motion passes. >> Thank you. >> Thanks, Mike. Okay. Section nine, information discussion items. Uh facilities needs committee, Carrie. >> Yes, and Mike Adell. So, Mike Adell and really Kathy and our our community representatives from our facility needs committee. So, as the board is aware, Um, have since October been

089working with a facility needs committee um that uh began with 80 interested community members that submitted applications to be a part of our um uh needs committee. And uh throughout the process, we uh we didn't have all 80 at all times, but uh but we had uh quite a few that that stuck it out the entire time. We met uh up until the last um bottom month ago, and at seven meetings over the course of this past year, and um we have two representatives from the facility needs committee that are going to be uh sharing recommendations that they have that ultimately uh we will be um asking that the board review, consider, and then give some direction uh to us for the updating of the facility needs master plan. So, this is a needs committee

090that um spent time educating themselves about our district facility needs, our budget um um our budget as well as kind of how facilities are funded in the state in general, and then uh making some priority uh uh decisions about what what do we do and recommend moving forward. And this information will be then incorporated into the facility needs master plan update that would then drive future decisions that the board would ultimately be considering um as we work towards improving existing facilities as well as addressing the the growth in our community. So, handing it over to Mike and then Kathy and our facility needs committee members. >> Yeah, so as um Carrie mentioned, we have we have two brave members from the facilities uh uh our facilities needs committee here today, Alicia Martin and Lori Smith.

091Here they are. There we go. So, uh I'll go ahead and call up Alicia and Lori and maybe kind of give you a quick guide. Kind of who they are and uh their interest in participating in the facilities needs committee. And in the end we ended up with six six recommendations from the committee and all of that do the presentation and then we can answer any questions um and go from there. >> Hi, good evening. That's the clicker. Okay, cool. Awesome. Um my name is Lori Smith. Thanks for having me in here tonight. Um my kids go to Coffin. I've got one that's just finishing up fourth grade. We'll see if he makes it through fifth grade. And the the baby the caboose just finished first grade and we'll see if he makes it to

092second grade. And so the reason I wanted to do this is I um I spend a lot of time with you know, volunteering and that kind of stuff and there's so many ins and outs of how this all fits together. And um I just thought it was a fantastic opportunity to really get a much more in-depth view of how how the machine works and why why you don't get what you want all the time and you know, all those kinds of things. So it's just been a fantastic education. >> I agree. I thought it was a really interesting opportunity to volunteer in a kind of a different way. I'm an educator. I've been teaching for a long time. I teach in a neighboring district. Um I am a foster parent and I have two young

093foster kids that are just starting into our school system. Um I have one and well, I haven't my second one is starting at um Creekside Oaks. Um so both of my children will be at Creekside Oaks starting next year. Um I have also worked as an auditor um for public works projects. Um so I come with some experience and so I was like, oh I'm really interested. I'm interested in what's going on in this district, how money is being used, what we need to do. Um and so I jumped on it and I was very excited to be part of the committee. Um okay. I'm a math teacher. I don't use these. So we'll see how this goes. So I think it was shared we did have over 80 applicants um and they did decide

094to keep all of us which was kind of fun. Um but it tended to be about 30 um to 35 participants at each meeting. I personally I believe I attended five of the seven but I did my homework on the other two that I wasn't able to attend. Um there were representatives from the entire community. Um all the schools were represented. We had teachers, we had community members, we had parents, non-parents. It was a pretty robust group of people. Um and I think we also said we met seven times over the course of the year. >> All right. So the the facility needs committee activities. One of the best things that we did through the way the meetings were, they weren't static. They were all at all the different schools. So we went everywhere and

095we went to see schools that you'd never walk into cuz your kids don't go there and you know, your kids go to Copper and you really don't go to the other elementary schools. And to get to see the different middle schools and the high schools. And um then we spent a lot of time hearing from the different professionals and the peace all the pieces and parts of how the funding comes together, how the development is, you know, how how it ends up on a piece of paper and how we how we see it. And um then you know, all of the uh when we go to all these different schools, we get to see, you know, in real real time the hole in the floor, the you know, the um uh portables that are falling

096apart, you know, that kind of stuff that really has to happen. And then we were able to really see what those capital needs at each school site were and to be able to put together with the real pieces and parts what the what what steps needed to happen in order to make this happen. And um so then some real specifics is we had um uh speaker from the Building Industry Association come in and really talked about the development funding, you know, all these new houses. The kids got to go somewhere. And um that was, you know, talking about what what those limitations were and how significant those limitations were. And um one of the things that we're going to talk about next on this slide is what we as community members learned through this process,

097like something that was really unexpected. And one thing that I have heard I I am not a native Californian. I moved here about 10 years ago and grew up in the Northwest, grew up in Alaska, you know, spent most of my career in Alaska. And it's a totally different animal. And um one of the things that I've heard since moving here is oh, we don't need you know, we don't need bond measures because the lottery pays for everything. >> Yeah. >> Well, as it turns out you know, um so to really understand that you know, you talk to people that are oh, well, they don't need any more money, they just need to manage the money they have better. Well, it turns out that sometimes it just is a more money issue. And um you

098You another myth that I had in my head was that all these new developments were going to pay for that that was already worked out, that that was a done deal. And turns out in Lincoln, it's not. Um so, for me that was that was the big big eye-opening um item of you know what what the ask is and how we're going to get there. Um and that it's it's not already settled out and it's not already solved. Um so, how about you? >> Thank you for saying that. >> Yeah, you know what? Really, we say it, we we all talk about that, but it's nice to hear a community member >> I think it's also nice just to get a chance to talk to other community members and >> You know, I live on

099B Street Avenue and I have a big piece of plywood and a bucket of paint. You tell me what to write and I'll do it. >> You said it very well. >> Thank you, babe. >> I was just going to say what I was going to say, too, but um I agree with all of that. Um touring the different schools was eye-opening. Um and again, we don't see those schools if we our kids don't go there, we don't see the school. Um and so, that was a huge piece. Um and I think the committee itself was very educational. Um just kind of learning the budget is not the same as like a home budget or even a business budget where you can just move money around and like, "Oh, we have extra here, we'll just

100put it over there." Doesn't work that way. Um and so, I think that aspect of just kind of learning um more about how it works and seeing what we're up against and seeing what you guys are up against um was very helpful. Yeah. Um so, recommendation number one from the committee um was prior uh I can't say it. Prioritization. >> It's a stupid word, I know. >> Hard. Um we have limited funds, we need to prioritize. We need to figure out where the the biggest bang for the buck is. Where do we put the money that we do have? Um and so, we are recommending prioritizing projects number one that improve equity across across all the school sites. Number two, addressing critical health and safety needs. Number three, focusing on classroom improvement and student capacity

101demands. And then number four, what is the benefit for the greatest number of students? Um there is a significant difference between our campuses. And if you've been to more than one school site, you know. Significant differences. Um some of them are brand new, some of them are 20 years old, some of them are falling apart. Um there needs to be a focus on bringing our older schools up to a newer standard. Um health and safety was something that we talked about a lot, and that needs to be a priority for our students. Um especially when we're looking at like the limited funds that we have, that has to be really important. It has to be top of the conversation. Um we need to make sure that our students have enough space to learn. Um and

102that they have adequate environments. And then again, it came back a lot of focus was talked about the benefit to the greatest number of students. What do we need to do, and how do we figure out what those priorities are? >> All right, so now we're going to into the meat and potatoes. So, the top tier projects, we did a exercise where we took our Monopoly money and there was buckets and we were each allocated a certain amount of of proportional Monopoly money um and we got to walk around and look at all the different buckets and you know just like on election day nobody sees where you're putting your money. But, at the end it um uh that was that was a method of being able to prioritize what projects were the priority of

103the group. And um so, there is an overwhelming consensus on the uh top three projects and as you see here it's tier one, tier two, tier three. And so, it was an unanimous that Carlin C. Coppin Elementary School uh campus-wide reconstruction and converting to a TK-8 was a priority. Um the Creekside Oaks uh campus reconfiguration and the uh Lincoln High School campus-wide upgrades um all of those things are they're health and safety, they're capacity, they're um being able to meet those needs of um what those campuses need to be able to even bring them up to the level of where the tier two and tier three schools are. They're just lagging They're lagging behind and they need that push up. Um Creekside Oaks um in specific, it's going to create a much-needed multi-purpose room. Um

104I was shocked. And I went to school when I went to elementary school, the elementary school that I went to was torn down for asbestos. And well, not torn actually, it was it wasn't torn down for a long time, but it was torn down in recent years. And um it was rough. And this multi-purpose room in this portable, it's a double wide, a triple wide. It it really was kind of shameful. Um it um and to look at what they how they how they manage their kitchen facilities. And the thing is, you go by these elementary schools every single time. I've never seen and I way back in time before I had any common sense, I started out my professional life as a school teacher. And then I said, "What is a girl like me

105doing in a place like this?" So, but as a a mother, one of my biggest joys in this campus and in this district is everywhere you go, kindness and empathy and being a good human comes first. And I think a lot of that comes from the volunteerism that you see, you know, that we spoke of earlier today. Recognizing that that volunteerism, um recognizing that um it you know, that being a good human comes first. Um and it I I was I was really shocked I mean, you know, my kids go to Coffin and so I see the, you know, the portables melting into the ground and that kind of stuff, but I was shocked at the the space of the lunch room. And it did it as as much growth and you know, opportunity exists

106in this town, We've got to do better for all the kids. Um and same thing with Lincoln High School. Um you know, the the modernization that was started and completed a few years ago, it was just a small part. It needs to It needs to keep going. It needs to be finished. Um then the tier two projects um is one of the most important of those. And And the trouble with this is it's all important. It all needs to happen. And it's just the how and the when and the why. Um but one of the things that was I think extremely eye-opening to everybody was the state of food services. And um hearing what um you know, lunch ladies have a look about them. And you know, you can smell a lunch lady from a

107million miles away. And And I mean that in a good way. Like that is a compliment. They are doing God's work. And you know, our lunch lady at Coffin, her name is Miss Danny. And she is a gem. I mean, just she's a good human. And um she's this little tiny lady. I hope she takes her calcium. And I was shocked to hear the physical labor that they have to do because our facilities are not good enough. She is picking up 50 And I mean seriously, I'm not joking. She weighs a buck 25. And she's she's I'm I'm not putting any age on her. But she's lifting 50 to 75 pound boxes and bags and getting them up over her head and boy, that's an injury waiting to happen. And that's a huge lawsuit eventually

108waiting to happen when some lunch lady breaks her back. You know, or has catastrophically injured for the rest of her life. And and it's because the kitchens aren't good enough. We need that central area, especially with the um the uh free lunch, free breakfast program, which again, that's a program that's doing God's work. I mean, that's doing really, really big things for kids that that's that's their solid meals. And um so I I was really taken aback by what I learned by the the food services. And then the next part are um shared in elementary school with um uh Village One south of Highway 193 going down along Sierra College. You know, those folks were sold a bill of goods by their their development, and they thought their kids were all going to be going

109to Twelve Bridges. Well, they're going to Sheridan. Sheridan needs a new parking lot, and Sheridan Sheridan needs a lot of work to be able to accommodate those kids. Um and to again, have services that match everybody else's. You know, it's an ugly look when the pretty schools belong to the the subdivisions and the developments that are in the high tax brackets, and the ugly schools belong to the the lower end communities. Um and then uh also that you know, I mean, that's that was another eye-opener to me is that Twelve Bridges how much completion Twelve Bridges needed. I mean, you drive by it, and it's this beautiful building. You go to a play there, and you know, you can be comfy cozy in those seats. They are wide, you know, and it's you know, I

110mean, it looks like this beautiful facility, but then you realize that hey, it's not built for capacity. It's It's outgrowing its britches really fast. And um then the last improvements are all listed in tier three. We'll go through those really fast. Is um Fosket Ranch Elementary. Their TK and their K um kitchen upgrades. You know, these are these are smaller items, but they all still need to be done. And you know, there's a lot of you know, we we definitely while we were preparing to present to you, we talked a lot about how this is not a a small business budget. This is not a household budget where you move things around. But something that we can compare to as a small business or a household is you take care of the small stuff when

111it's still small. You know, you notice that you got a leak. Don't just put a pot under it and hope for the best. You got to fix it. Um so, you know, all those items with the tier three and those other schools um and uh they can all they're also going to improve health and safety and improve capacity. >> All right, our recommendation number two is to maximize existing capacity. Um we talked a little bit about new homes being built and new schools being built. Um That costs a lot of money. Um and so we want to make sure that we use the existing schools completely before we look at building additional schools. Um it is financially prudent um to maximize what we have already. Um that doesn't mean it's not a challenge for some

112families. Um it could be a challenge for many families if the school is not close to their home, it's not where their neighbors go, but we do need to prioritize what we have and work with our existing pieces. There just isn't enough money to build a new school for every new neighborhood. >> All right, we're going back to that kitchen. So, recommendation three, the support services facilities. So, the facility needs committee recommends prioritizing improvements to support services including the kitchens, the warehouses, transportation, the maintenance, the admin offices, stuff that you don't think about when you think about what does it take to run a school unless you're, you know, if you're in the public, you're not thinking about that. You know, if you're running the schools, then of course you are, but um those projects

113tend to not be quite as attractive as um some of the other ones. You know, it's not quite the the, you know, look at our new school, you know, look where look where your dollars went. But again, when you look at what it takes to feed 400 kids or 700 kids, and I actually um I'm on the PTC, and we had a little event at Coffin, and I had left a mess I was supposed to clean up, and I went in to clean it up during school breakfast, and again, God's work. You know, I mean, it was amazing. And but I mean, wow, it was there was a lot of noise in there. And you know, those kids are elbow-to-elbow-to-elbow-to-elbow. And you know, so not just the space of of the school facilities, but how

114they managed to cook and so much of the the food I mean it's high quality food. Like, I want to go have lunch at school. I mean, that's pretty cool. And um it What it takes to be able to do that is beyond me. And that's a that's a special skill. And to have those facilities to be able to do it cheaper, cleaner, more efficiently, I mean, to me it just seems you know, it just seems like money very very well spent to expand those things as well as um you know, the the other things, you know, the the warehouse space, the transportation, all that stuff. And so, one of the things is that um we spent some time talking about is the creative solutions of financing this and how we how we do it.

115And so, you know, looking at leases, you know, I mean, that's that's an option. And then really increasing community education. I mean, back to my back to my big sheet of plywood and my bucket of pink paint, you know, um you know, getting it out there into the community of why we need this. You know, it you know, if you say X million dollars for a school kitchen, that doesn't sound so great. That sounds like What? What are you doing? But, when you really get into the explaining why, that's where, you know, that's where I think you can change hearts and minds. Um So, yeah. >> Our recommendation number four um is about the bond and a funding strategy. Um we know we need the finances. We don't have the the to do what we

116need to do. Um, we also know that bonds haven't passed in the past past in the past. Um And so we did discuss this is one of the topics that was a little tricky for us as a committee. Uh, lots of emotions, lots of questions, lots of concerns come up here. Um But as a committee we did recognize that we do need a bond. We do need to have money um in order to fund especially our highest priority projects. And so our committee recommends that the district pursue a bond in a future election. Um I think we talked about 2028 as a possibility. Um There is this idea of one Lincoln. And this is where a lot of our discussion came from. Um, but ultimately we recommend um establishing two separate bonding districts that generally

117align with the different high schools. Um, as a way to best fund priorities within the respective communities. Um and again there was a lot of discussion. There's a lot of feelings about this, right? Because we are one community. Um but we also know that we know the things that are closest to us and in proximity to us. I know the schools close to me. Right? That's where my heart and where my money wants to go is to support the ones that are close to me. And I think that that was a big discussion that we had. Um and so that is our recommendation. Um and Um on the screen you can see where those monies would go based on the respective districts um that we're proposing. So, recommendation five for new development, and we've talked

118about this a little bit already. Um but this is a a key cornerstone of, you know, so far we've talked a lot about where we've been up to the present moment. And now we're going to jump back and talk about where we need to go. And um so a a strong recommendation of the the facility needs committee is that new development needs to pay its own way, and that the district needs to continue pursuing aggressive negotiations with developers in order to secure those additional funds for school facilities. Um The and also believes that other resources should um should be that excuse me. The that we do not think that other resources should be spent on capacity needs that are caused by this new development. And you know, it's to me in my mind that kind

119of ties into the previous slide talking about the, you know, divide I mean it's a it's kind of a bitter pill to swallow. And what it comes down to is, you know, in my interpretation is this is where you need to hold your nose and do what just needs to be done. And um in my mind I don't like the division of um you know, South Lincoln, North Lincoln. Um you know, and it I think that it engenders a lot of, oh, those schools are bad or those schools are good. And um it um and I think that this is something we have to be careful with as we consider this with this new development of oh, that's old Lincoln and new Lincoln, but at the same time they've got to pay their own way.

120You know, our capacity is full and it um and and overextended. And up to that point that new development, it needs to um you know, you look at um the Village One issues is um that since most of those developers in village in Village One are you know, the uh development south of 193, they're not paying enough to build a new school. And so the students from there are just going to have to be assigned wherever there's room for them. And currently it looks like it's shared, you know? And I mean, that's a that's a real pickle for those families. Um but outside of that, you know, beyond fees that are collected, um you know, it we we recommend that again, that aggressive negotiations for school funding and for capacity are considered in in those

121developments. >> And to bring it full circle, our recommendation number six is community education. As we participated in this committee, we learned a lot. And we learned that we didn't know a lot. And that we had a lot of misunderstandings, um and I think our community does as well. Um and so it's our recommendation that we make sure that the residents of Lincoln are more aware of where their funding is going, the challenges that our district has with funding, um and that we focus not just on families that have children in schools, but all over community. Um and so focusing also on families that do not have students in the schools. Um we need to correct the misinformation. Um we we have a lot of new members of our community that also don't understand, right?

122They're paying taxes and they think their money is going to schools, but in reality it is not. Um and so that community education, the community outreach is a humongous um recommendation. >> Okay. >> All right. You guys have hung in there with us. This is the last one. So, >> Yeah, um moving forward, the uh the facility needs committee asks that the district consider our committee's recommendations when updating the facilities master plan. We put a lot of time and a lot of effort into really understanding the facts and being able to come up with with um uh a recommendations that are not only meet the needs of kids that we serve, families that we serve, the community that we serve, but also um that are feasible. That it's hey, this is something we can do.

123And, you know, one of the earlier meetings, we talked about what if um what the maximum amount of amount of money that we could get for bond measure. And me as a homeowner, when I bought my house, and I like to brag that I bought the last affordable house in Lincoln, California in 2018. Um me, it would probably run me probably about 20 bucks a month. If this bond bond measure passes, it that's what it would increase my taxes. And um you know, I don't do my nails. I don't drink fancy coffee. I still probably wouldn't miss it from my budget. You know, and I would feel good knowing that that, you know, even when I'm a a cranky old lady, you know, that um somebody's kids are going to be getting a good education

124in a safe school that's suitable. And then when I, you know, go get my coffee that I don't really get, um you know, that they're going to be able to count the change back to me. Or that, you know, they'll just those things that of we the the notion of my kids are my kids are grown. You know, that's that's a big um especially when you're you're looking at the demographics of Lincoln and a lot of the retired retired communities and that kind of stuff. Um it's a that's a big thing to get over that hurdle of my kids are grown. I already did my time. And um ultimately at the end of the day, these recommendations are in the best interests of the Lincoln community and this and the schools. There's just no alternative.

125It's, you know, we're we're maxed out. Um and then one of the other things that was really valuable, I think, as especially as you mount this campaign, I didn't I didn't know that um the limitations that you have on campaigning. You know, I mean, I remember when the last bond measure failed and I was like, what? What? I barely heard about this. What's going on? I didn't realize the limitations of how you can advertise and how you can campaign and that kind of stuff. And um one of the things that I think is a a great tremendous asset is how big this field started with, you know, 80 80 people who said, "Sure, I'd love to give you a a Tuesday night once a month, every 6 weeks." And um to keep those people because

126those are the people who are going to talk to their that you know, you the schools might not be able to put stuff out there, but I've got my plywood. And you know, the and people can do their own um campaigning and and so to please consider that ongoing community involvement because there is a very well-educated group of people who are very interested in being part of this process. And um we'll close it out with Kathy. She's got a few words left to say about the next steps. >> Do you want me to just give this to somebody else? >> Okay. >> So before we uh oops, have Kathy speak, I I I want to I want to thank you, Alicia and Lori. THANK YOU. UM I I WAS GOING TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR GETTING

127that through that in half an hour. When I did this, what, 4 years ago, I 5 hours I spoke. So and the board didn't like me after that. So I appreciate you again. Um I appreciate it. >> Well, I I was going to thank you both not just for tonight, but also for the ongoing participation as well as all the members of the Needs Committee. This was such an interactive group. I think you guys really would have been energized in that room. I think we leave the meetings all very energized. I do want to say one thing, the Needs Committee had to come to consensus on a couple of the items, and I was really impressed with how they worked through issues even though they weren't necessarily all in agreement, the committee came to consensus

128on these recommendations. So, I do think that was really compelling. There was definitely discussion back and forth. And just for your information, I wanted to just kind of give you that context. Moving forward, what does this all mean? So, in the past, what we have done is taken the needs committee's recommendations and we incorporate that into kind of the foundation of the master plan. And I'm proposing that we again do that. Mike and I are working on master plan details where we would actually update that master plan in the fall for board consideration and ultimately approval. So, that's kind of the timing right now. I do want to give you the opportunity to ask guests, Alicia and Lori, any questions you have on the needs committee. As far as the master plan itself though, that's

129going to come later down the road. You'll see all the needs cuz beyond what was there, we still have a laundry list of needs beyond those top three tiers. It's just, you know, with limited funding, we can only fund a certain number of projects and those are the ones that rose to the top. So, all of the normal documents you see, that would come in the fall. We're just accepting the recommendations to the extent the board wants to ask questions, this is the opportunity. >> All right. Thanks, Kathy. >> Any questions? >> Yeah, I just have a couple. Um with the lens of transparency, did we provide you with all the information that you needed, maybe even some that you might have asked for that wasn't presented, or did you get a sense that maybe

130we were giving you the things we were hoping you were going to look at and not giving you the other things? I say that because you're a public committee and I think it's important that, you know, we we give you audience if you maybe feel like there could have been more information. >> I mean, I think we were well educated. Um I think it was broad. I think um personally going to the different sites. You know, like you can't learn that from paper. You can't read about that like that experience. Putting money into buckets and actually like, oh, this is the budget I have. Um so, I think I think the information was presented not just as like, hey, this is the direction we're going. I think they were actually looking for feedback and community

131input. >> I agree with that and then the other piece also is I think that to to address the question of transparency or ethics or um integrity in the presentation, I had the impression that the information was pri- provided to the best of their ability as completely as possible, but also focusing on breadth versus depth because that's what we needed was breadth and we needed just enough depth to understand what they were talking about. So, I I felt confident and comfortable in the explanation of things and I also think that um you know, me just as a private citizen, Lori running around in the world, if the school says they need more money, okay, let me get my checkbook, you know? I you know, it's just it's how I was raised, it's what I believe

132is that if the schools need money, they they need money. And um so, I'm in I I came into this with the mindset of, okay, what do you need and how are we going to do it? But, I think also that people who are, you know, a lady that I I've known for a few years and really like, she ended up on the committee as well. I was like, hey, what are you doing here? And she's not in favor of it. She's not you know, people going into it that don't want to raise their taxes, that don't want to do that. I think also the information provided to them was also of sufficient breadth and depth to understand the point. And yeah, so I I think that was well done and well executed. >> I

133I'd one more, but I do want to say like touring the sites I'm I appreciate that the committee does that. I think we have incredible staff, we have incredible teachers, and we have incredible support staff. I don't know if the buildings they do this great work in represent the work that's being done. So, I'm I'm glad you went around and saw their working conditions because I think in very many cases we need to do better. Um my last question is from an outsider's perspective, when you look at our budget, do you see areas where the board or district staff have just missed the mark? Or where we've been fiscally responsible. You don't have to answer that now, but know that all of us want that answer if you have it. So, if you see it

134from a fresh perspective, we are also taxpayers, so we care about every single dollar that we ask of, even the ones that are already spoken for. But if you saw something in the numbers or something that didn't make sense or if we didn't do a good job explaining it, please let us know that cuz this board >> Yeah, I I would want to review a little bit on that. Um I think the numbers that I saw of the project itself and the scope of this thing Um you know, there's other there's other things in it. What's that about? But um I I feel that I'd be out of pocket if I answered you right now. >> Okay. Love to get it. Come see later. >> Yeah. >> Um I do work in a neighboring district.

135I also have worked in other districts who have had similar growth um to Lincoln. I am impressed with what Lincoln has done with the money that they have. >> Yeah, thank you. >> Um so, I mean that's my biggest answer. I am a numbers person. I am a math teacher. I do love math. I would love to see more numbers and look at it a little bit differently. Um but I think as far as what this committee was, we were presented with kind of what she said, like the basics, but not too far into it. >> And I'm glad to hear Mike is still cheap. That's very important. >> Not cheap, efficient. >> Thank you. That's it. I get the word all the time. >> Any more questions? >> I have a question about if

136if am I correct you're proposing two different bond issues and those are going to run simultaneously. Is that correct? >> Yeah, that is what we discussed. >> Yeah, when you talked about that, was there any discussion of not running them simultaneously and I wonder what that discussion was. Cuz I think I'm clear in my mind Well, it's a little bit clear, but it's not totally clear if that's a good idea to run them both together or they split them up. Whatever has the best chance of working. >> Um so we were presented with information about um polling, um what the community is saying. Um we know just again from what we were presented that the bond didn't pass that we tried to um and the polling is showing that if we do split it, we

137have a better chance of passing both. Um but I don't know that we went much further into talking about doing them at different times. >> Thank you. >> Any more questions? So So thank you so much for being part of the committee. It was really, really interesting to listen to you speak to the way we speak as as community members. So thank you for that. But I want to recall and I I think at least Christie and Jason, when we did the facilities thing with the money, I want to say Carl and Steve Coffin came up as number one >> It it it does almost every single time we do this. >> But that was interesting that these were all all members. They weren't board members. >> Right. >> Um and and so I thought

138that was not a coincidence. >> Um actually Creekside came as number one in our money bucket. >> Oh, was it number one? >> But it was I mean that they weren't too far. >> Far apart. >> okay. >> They were they were just disproportionately actually think >> Number one priority I guess. >> Creek side Oaks found parents and and staff members in the room. So the reason we group them in tiers is if you looked at the percentage of the money spent, it was really obvious what the top three projects were, what the next three projects were in in that. But Creekside Oaks actually was number one here. Lincoln High was number two and Coffin was three. >> All top priorities then. >> All number one priorities. >> For the board it was Coffin, Lincoln

139High and Creekside Oaks. >> Okay, so all the three. So that's very interesting because completely different backgrounds and not priorities but coming from a different area >> perspective thank you. >> perspectives and we all came up with the top three. I thought that was very interesting. So thank you very much. >> Yeah, thank you very >> for your time. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, WHERE ARE WE? 5.2 OH, THIS isn't a problem. Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. Okay. All right, Robin Black. >> Good evening. I just wanted to bring something to your attention. I recently did a social media poll asking the residents about the presentation we saw. I did attend a few of these community meetings and so I too am informed as far as how the money is spent as well as as

140you know previously done a PRA on the accounting for the school district with the boundary change with Lincoln Crossing. And after doing a poll across 10 different community sites, 83% of those that participated would vote no. Part of the highest voting no categories are Sun City and Lincoln Crossing. If this bond was proposed prior to the boundary or potentially had the option of keeping the boundary as it is, you might get more people on board with this. If you do want this to pass, it's going to take all of us to get it done. I'm not saying whether I'm for or against it, but doing something about the boundary would be beneficial to make this pass if that's what your goal is. Um the message is clear that the residents are with increased cost of

141housing, groceries, insurance, utilities, and many other necessities. Nobody wants to pay higher taxes. Um I appreciate the ladies that spoke, and the bill would be based on how what your house is worth. It's not just $20 a month for each person. You're going to limit people in business who have rental properties by increasing taxes where the water bill has already gone up, so you're pushing people out of Lincoln or away from Lincoln by having higher cost than other areas. This concerns me as a community member and a parent that this may not be what's best. And what about Lincoln being all one and not two? And I understand they did a small poll of people in reference to doing two bonds, but I don't know that that's what's in the best interest for Lincoln. Um

142I'm just here to say like more research is needed. I'm glad this isn't a voting item. The only other request I would have is that you not have important meetings like this on election night like last year where we had the presidential election on the night you guys changed the boundary. That's unacceptable. Thank you. >> Thank you, Robin. Brendan Holt. >> Thank you, board. Um So, what strikes me is on one of the slides they're talking about their bond funding strategy and splitting their Lincoln and Twelve Bridges. Uh one of the items under the Twelve Bridges was additional classrooms at the middle school. So, when uh this boundary issue came up at Lincoln Crossing Elementary, a lot of community members, including myself, were there where the uh superintendent stated that there was no way we

143can add additional classroom space at Twelve Bridges Middle School. That was the the sticking point with this 100 student issue of changing the the boundaries is that Twelve Bridges was impacted, you couldn't add any more classrooms, and that is uh why they had to change the boundary and put all of Lincoln Crossing residents into Lincoln High School's area. Um now we find out there might be a chance with this bond measure, and I can guarantee you with the Mello-Roos and the taxes and the history I don't know if you guys realize the history of Lincoln Crossing and camping out year after year to get into Lincoln Crossing Elementary School. There was parents, original homeowners, we were camping out there. We to get our kids into the Lincoln Crossing, Twelve Bridges, Twelve Bridges High School. You've

144changed the boundaries on us, and now you're going to ask us to to vote in a bond, and you're going to get no support from Lincoln Crossing. I'll be out there knocking every single door in Lincoln Crossing because you changed our boundaries, we had the highest taxes in entire city of Lincoln, and now we have to pay another bond for a school we can't even go to again. This is unacceptable. And I want to know how you are paid cuz you're just She sells structured financing and bonds to school districts. She doesn't have the school district's best interest in mind. Thank you. >> Thank you, Brandon. All right. Where are we? 9.3. Two breaths. Chugging along here. 2026-2027 budget. Oh, wait. Oh, did I skip? Sorry. California Community School Partnership. Perfect. Thank you. >> Sorry.

145I will put this maybe that was a I'm just kidding. Michaela worked really hard for this. There's no way I was going to let her not be able to do her presentation. Um so, um thank you board for having us. Um it's my pleasure to introduce Michaela Zimmerman. She's also got one of her colleagues, one of our colleagues, Emily Barney with her. They're going to be talking about the Community School Partnership Program and providing an update to the board and the community about the progress with um Community Schools as the hub um and kind of where that where we're headed as we move forward. So, Michaela. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Hello. Hi everyone. We should have a PowerPoint. >> Yeah. >> With Leah, it's on the hearing side. >> Yeah, with the

146presentation? >> Um >> Yeah. Yeah. >> 9.2. >> Anything you want to chat on while they pop it up? >> Oh, thanks. It's freezing in this room. It's 85° outside and it's like 61° in here. I'm like, okay. I feel Oh, that's what I need. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Someone should sell them the door. They would you know, she could make a good side business there. Okay, well, great. Um >> Yeah, I'll just be sharing it I'll be sharing it with >> Yeah. >> I hope you guys all read it or looked at the packet maybe. I don't know what I'm saying. I'll try to get the best. Feels like a heavy presentation night. >> I get your texts all the time. I'm still like getting through with my daughter through school. I get texts like,

147"I get straight A's. We have A's." I'm like, >> She can buy it. They're really good. Pasture-raised are damn good. I take them. So, they're great. >> No, but I love it. I mean, everybody every parent this is why this stuff matters. >> Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Tell me when I'll start. I'll start clicking. Yeah, you cool, too? Martin has hand warmers. Oh, okay. >> This is the city's floor. So, I'm not sure who to report that to. >> Okay. Well, we need to call Sean then, and he needs to come down here. >> and let them know you're frustrated. >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you. >> still working. >> Yeah. >> Probably is. He's on. >> This background picture is nice. So, you know, we can do that. Italy? I don't know.

148Maybe. Spain. Thank you. Have you been to Rome, Lizzie? >> No. >> Okay. He's on my list, too, now. >> I'm I'm going to share it with the board as well right this second. And we um so that you can read it. >> We have it. They have it. It was in the board room. Okay. Well, I just >> And then we'll catch up. >> Okay. Oh, there we go. Look at that. So, um what is a community school? So, a community school is a public school that serves a neighborhood hub, uh partnering with local resources to provide academics, health and social services, um and youth development. It functions as a comprehensive strategy essentially supporting the whole child and recognizing um that they are part of a structured family and not just here for their

149academics from eighth grade. So, there are four pillars of the California Community School Partnership. One are integrated student supports. Um the second one is expanding an enriched learning environments and opportunity. Um family and community and enrichment engagement and collaborative leadership and practices. So, those are the four pillars um that we operate out of and provide supports. So, in the um California Community School Partnership program, um there are implementation practices that we are providing. Um those are community needs and assets assessments, which are ongoing um all throughout the year every year. Um we have a dedicated community school coordinator, me. Um and then site-based and district-wide community school decision-making bodies. Um and those are school site councils, leadership teams, and steering committees um at the site and district level. And then we have integration and alignment.

150Um we align our services with our LCAP goals, with your board priorities, and with our portrait of a learner initiatives. So, just some background information. We originally applied for the implementate the planning grant, which is a 2-year grant. Um it was $150,000. Um we actually only did it in 1 year and went for cohort three of the implantation grant. And we applied for all of our six title schools. And we got two based on the unduplicated counts um the state set a bar 70% unduplicated and then gave um some additional rural um a rural adjustment um and then let it some other people slide in. So, um we got First Street for 1.187 over 5 years, and then Sheraton Elementary is 712,000 over 5 years. Um and then with the governor's May revise, there is

151possible um there is going to be community school funding extension. Um there was the talks that there might be a cohort five which would allow any school that has 65% unduplicated count apply and or continuing after the five years and they haven't worked that out yet. Hopefully that's coming out soon. But if they did allow cohort five, Phoenix would be the only school in our district that could qualify based on their duplicated account and so that is something that we would go for if that was the case and then we will go for continued funding as well. So So we have a steering committee, a district wide steering committee that meets every month throughout the school year comprised of staff, community partners, all the things. And so in the beginning we did a mentimeter and

152basically everyone got to put in what they felt their needs through their lenses were and so this is just a visual representation of some things and the the point of the mentimeter is the more times it gets brought up the bigger the words are. So the bigger the words in the middle were things that were said by multiple people. So this was just sort of giving us an idea of where people feel the needs are in our district and our communities. So this broke it down, mental health, transportation and then sort of all the other things that people felt like we needed that we were lacking. So just some background information. So I have this great video, it's very short. Hopefully we can play it Maria. It's so the amazing Have you guys seen this

153video? Maybe okay some of you. So the awesome CTE pathway at 12 Bridges Crash TV they asked if they could do a segment on the hub and so they came over and they put one together and it was amazing and they're amazing. And if you click the link you can watch And then actually Debbie Talk just emailed me last week. They won first place in the national competition um they for this video. So, Yeah. So, it's my great PR and it's their winning national piece. So, Oh, there we go. Yay. The volume? The Hub is our Wester Cluster's Family Resource Center. And so, a Family Resource Center is a place to go where you support families in the district. So, we have a dry food pantry, and we have a clothing closet, we have washers

154and dryers, and we have a college and career center. We, as a school district, got a community school grant. And when we were doing a needs assessment for that grant, one thing that we found was that the core properties here in the Lake Center of Lincoln, so like Creekside, First Street, James, Lincoln High, Phoenix, they're all located within like a 2-mile radius of each other, and there was a lack of resources. And so, our goal was like bring resources here so that families could have a place to access them. >> This stuff here is all from They help so many families, wouldn't know. I mean, they offer you chairs, families, your your clothes, food, whatever you need. They have the resource to get it. And a lot of kids be going around with holes in

155their shoes, holes in their pants. But yeah, they have an awesome clothes closet here. They don't even charge you nothing. >> No matter what I need and no matter what time or when I'm here, I can ask them and if they don't have it, they have the ability to help me find it. >> The Hub is often described as a family built on support and understanding. This intact starts with family recognizing the need of help and need to take the step to seek it out. >> It's hard sometimes to suck up your pride and to realize you need help. And it's hard sometimes to be like, "Oh, I don't want to lean on somebody or ask for it assistance." And you want to do it all yourself, but sometimes you got to realize that that

156doesn't make you weak. That actually makes you strong. So, if you're thinking about resources that help, please do. I mean, they're a great resource. And if they can't help you or if they don't know how to help you, they'll find something to help you. >> The Hub continues to serve as a reminder that support starts with community. For those looking to get involved, information about volunteering can be found visiting the district website at wpusd.org/thehub. This is Mason Carmichael reporting for Crash TV. >> That. >> Monster Math presents Addition Attack. Okay, class. Let's >> Okay. So, yay for Crash TV. Um Yeah, it's not working. We're testing all of our tech skills tonight. We're feeling miserably. Okay, there we go. It's clicking now. So, um where is the money going? Thank you, Marjorie. So, it goes

157to pay for my me, my salary. It pays for the Almond Tree counselor at First Street Elementary. It pays for Emily Barney, who's our college and career technician at the hub and providing programs at the school sites. It pays for parent community liaisons, a point five at Sheridan and a point two at First Street who are our designated community school liaisons. And it pays for part of our school clerk who also does our homeless and foster at the hub. And then there's just services and other things so we can put on PDs and engagement nights, all those things. That's all that it pays for. Just those seed money of people. So, everything else that we do at the hub is all from donations or community partners, which is the amazing thing. So, um Yes. Does

158anyone have any questions about that? Okay, great. Yes. >> Um where it says employee benefits >> Mhm. >> for us >> That's for all the people. It's just everyone's employee benefits. They're just different funding. >> Those are just the schools? >> Yes, that's all those people's benefits. Like so the numbers are their salaries and then the other part is the benefits. That's just how you have to break it up in the budget. So, the full cost of the people is not in those salaries. The benefits are It's like the employee benefits for the people. So, like their STRS, their medical, their Okay. All that stuff. >> That's how much the benefits are just for those two employees? >> Uh-huh. >> What? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> More than your salary. >> Well, I mean it's not

159just one person, but yes, yes. Uh one, two Five, five people. >> Is that even possible? >> A lot of money. >> Retirement benefits. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yes. People are expensive. That is why, you know, yeah, we Yes, so Um but so community school impact. Um so at the site level, um we have created many hubs at both Sheridan and First Street. Um both of the school sites have food pantries and clothes closets um where they have school and household supplies um and we keep most of the large We keep everything at the hub and then we just restock because they don't have the storage that we have. So um the liaisons from will come and get things and Sheridan has very cutely named theirs the nest and I think it's so cute. Um yeah.

160We have dedicated liaisons at First Street and Sheridan. Um we have an elementary school counselor at First Street and then we have a counseling intern program um which is free and that services um Sheridan, Creekside, and Talbott Springs Middle this year. Um and then we have a college and career um we did the Rice SEC um which is a uh exploratory um uh college and career uh curriculum that we are using. We piloted in the TK and K um at First Street um and then with the elementary schools at Sheridan and then at the sixth grade level at Talbott Springs Middle School. Um and that just basically explores their personality types and helps them choose careers. So if you are an investigative person cuz you like working with investigative things and discovering things, then it

161shows you like career options that are linked to like maybe CTE pathways that the high school would be something you'd be interested in. Um it's just to get kids thinking college and career from K and then that way we're not waiting till they're in high school. Um and so that work has been in conjunction with Jen Horton who's done a great job with that. So yeah. Um and then we have an internal referral system um where we can get we have a one-stop now so we can get supports out to school sites and families. So, since these are some some grants cash we've received this year um like locally um like Community Foundation gave $5,000 to First Street for school supplies, $1,000 for a celebration, um Sheridan just got a new washer, um we've gotten

162$1,000 in grocery gift cards, um $1,200 from Sun City Lincoln Hills, $500 bus grant from Lincoln Library for Sheridan to take a field trip to the library. Um $1,500 in gift cards and $1,000 from Lincoln Church uh Lincoln Presbyterian Church for women's undergarments. Um In-kind donations, I mean there's we get in-kind donations all the time, but these are some of of note. Um this last school year especially at our resource fair, we had $8,000 worth of backpacks donated. Um we got a commercial fridge and freezer from Feeding the Foothills. Um we get $10,000 in hygiene, school, and household supplies from Feeding the Foothills annually. Um $5,000 in clothing racks that Kiwanis of Lincoln Foothills purchased for our clothing um closet. Um 35 families were supported. Um it was actually 45, not 35. Um that's a

163typo, but for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Food and toiletries drives, it's really great. Um K Kids at both Fosket and TBE um have both done drives for the Hub and they are so excited and Emily does a great job at going to those meetings and getting pictures of the kids and rallying them up and like showing them um where their donations go, which is great. Um and Lincoln Crossing also did one, which was amazing, the whole school did it. And then we've gotten $150,000 in beauty products and hygiene items and undergarments from Project Glitter. Um and we've done like two events. We did a Mother's Day event on Saturday of Mother's Day for our McKinney-Vento families. Um and we had almost 40 families moms come and shop for like Sephora beauty products and like bras, and

164it was really great. And then we did one today, um and we had like 80 people come and get like bras and it was really actually there was a couple men there, and there was a a guy who was shopping for his 13-year-old daughter. And so, um you know, that was fun, helping him like navigate getting cute little like bralettes for his 13-year-old daughter. Um and then we just get donations all the time and we are so very grateful. So, Partnerships, these are just some of the partnerships that we've created. Um we have a partnership with Lighthouse, and they come to the hub twice a year for 6 weeks and do Love and Logic classes. Um those are some of our most popular parent engagement classes, and people ask for them. There's always a waitlist.

165Um we do once a year in English and once in Spanish. Um and then we have two mental health counselors from Lighthouse that are in our schools, one at Scott Elementary and one at Twelve Bridges. Um and they provide on-site counseling so that families don't have to like go to Lighthouse after school or pull their kid um for counseling sessions. So, we're trying to remove those barriers. Um we created a partnership with William Jessup University. Um and so, we started that this last fall, and they have nursing interns on our they they were working out of the hub, um and they did classroom presentations at um Sheridan, First Street, Kohl's, Lincoln High, and Phoenix on different health topics that we surveyed um the teachers. So, um they did a really great one at um Sheridan

166where they took a balloon and they put glow-in-the-dark gunk on it, and they passed the balloon around, and then they put black light, and so it shows the kids like how you spread germs. Um and so, just like fun things like that that they create, they can go into our classrooms and do these health topics. >> know how to spread germs really, really well. I'm sure they were like, "Yeah, we know." >> Yeah, well, and I they just like the black light, right? Like it's kind of cool, like, you know, CSI, like. So, that was fun. But yes, they're pro at that. So, we need to show them now how to wash their hands. That's the point. Yeah. Um and so um and then in the spring they came and shadowed our nurses and helped

167out um at school sites, which was really great. So, we're excited about that partnership. Um we also have partnership with Placer County. Twice a month we get a um uh health and human services worker who's bilingual who comes and signs family up for Medi-Cal and CalFresh right there at the hub. Um and so that is really great because the closest place to do that is in Rocklin or in Auburn. And if you it takes 45 minutes to get to the Sunset location, which is right past 12 Bridges on a bus. Um and so it's just really hard to navigate our non-lack of public transportation. Um and then immunization clinics, so we did a back-to-school one of flu and a Tdap. Um And then we partnered with Lincoln Police Activities League and they have a bike

168program. So, they pay for bikes to get refurbished um with Monster Joe's Bikes in Sun City. And then we connect them kids who need to get to school um for the bikes. So, programming. Um lots of programming that happens all the time. Um we've done a couple community clothes shopping extravaganzas. Mostly when I get told that our clothes closet is out of control and we need to get clothes out. Um so we open it up and have just people come in like mass shop. Um we have done a parent group info night where it is geared towards parents who are interesting in interested in pursuing education, maybe going to Sierra College for a certificate program, things like that. Um Love and Logic, we do um Christmas and summer break food distributions. Um when we first

169started, Lindsey came to me and said, "Hey, um my kiddos are hungry over Christmas break and there's no food at school. Can we do a food distribution over Christmas?" And so we got clearance and figured out all the logistics and so now it's like a regular thing. And um so that was super cool. So. Um And then we do Thanksgiving meal distributions. We have a Christmas giving tree program that a lot of you participated in. Um and then our back to school resource fair, which is coming up this August again for our second annual one. Um I just want to say too, I was Emily and I were at the National Community Schools and Family Engagement Conference um last week and I sat in on a presentation at San Juan Unified that has 55,000 students

170in their district and they talked about they had a resource fair, but it was a going into summer resource fair to give families opportunities to like get hands-on learning for their kids going into summer. And they were so soaked that they had 138 families come. And I and it was a whole district thing and I was like, 138? And he's like, "Yeah, like with you know, how many people in a household, that's almost like 4 or 500 people." And so I was like, "We had 590 kids come to our back to school resource fair." And that was just kids and we're only 8,000 people. So, I was like, "Yay, Lincoln." So, um So, um some other hub programming, we put on family theater nights. We have weekly food distribution. So, St. Clare's Church now, um

171every Wednesday brings us 5,000 lb of food from the food bank. Um fresh, frozen meat, vegetables, eggs, dairy, milk. Um it's been amazing and people line up. Um and it's really great. Um we have our community connection series, which is our family engagement nights that we know is talked about in the fall. Um and we offer dinner and child care at all of those. I mean, we bring in community partners. We survey families on like, "What things would you like us to host?" and then we go out and find those community partners and then put on the nights and then they come. And my goal is really like, I want you to come for the food and then stay for the other stuff. Um and so we try to provide like good food and not

172just like pizza or sandwiches. Like no offense to Mike with his facilities needs, pizza. But um you know, so we partner with Hello Sweets for a couple of those and Beth and her boys and her kids, uh uh catered three meals for us, and it was phenomenal. So, um we put on a district hiring workshop. We partnered with personnel, um and got some classified positions filled in the fall, which I thought was really great. Um and then we are did a parent teacher home visit training, and we're launching that in the fall um in our district, which I think is going to be really great. Um immunization clinics, flu shot clinics, yeah. So, some results. So, we talked about attendance earlier. Um we did an attendance pilot. Um I worked with elementary school counselors this

173year, and we did some attendance um initiatives. And what they did is they identified um around 40 kids. We worked with uh Coffin, Creekside, and First Street. Um and they identified about 40 kids at each of their sites that had three or more uh absences in the first trimester. And of those kids, um about half of them had a previous SARB letter in the year before. So, this was not just kids that were just absent this year. There was more of a pattern um absenteeism. So, um we worked on some interventions. We did some spreadsheets. They did some things. We talked to parents. Um and then we sent out targeted messaging to those parents um in a created a Facebook account, I mean a Parent Square account, sent them targeted messaging, did a pre-survey asking

174about their attendance um beliefs and understandings of our attendance policies, um and then sent out these things. And in one trimester, we had um 33 of the 42% uh of the students 78% had increase uh improvement, less days missed. Um and then we had 18% reduction in days from trimester one to trimester two. So, um that's money in our pockets. So, that was really great, and that was our pilot. Um and that they had similar results at Coffin. I just didn't make a slide for it because I'm trying to save time. Um so, it's just some hub data. We had more than 600 students attend our back to school resource fair last year. Um we have two we've had 2,000 logged interactions from January of to May of this year, um, between food distributions, clothing,

175hygiene, um, and wellness resources. And then, um, in partnership with Placer County Health, we offered our clinics, um, and they shared that we are the only district doing on-site, um, immunization clinics, um, and that they vaccinated more kiddos at our school site than they did at their county workshops. So, it just really for them highlighted the need, um, here like in the resource desert that exists, um, because they don't offer clinics anywhere in Lincoln normally. They're only in Auburn and and Rocklin, so. Um, we had over 300 parents register for our community connection series throughout the year, um, and we offered free daycare and dinner at all those. Um, and then we received national recognition. Um, I presented at the, uh, National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth conference, um, that was

176in Dallas in fall. And then last week Emily and I presented at the National, um, Community Schools and Family Engagement conference. So, um, we've also presented at the Statewide Homeless Education conference two years in a row, and I just presented to the team at PCOE on Monday. So, um, we're trying to get the word out there that all the cool things that we're doing in Western Placer. Um, so the really cool thing is I did a survey, um, because we all love the data for the LCAP. And so, I, uh, did end-of-the-year survey to our parents. I sent it out only to our McKinney-Vento and free and reduced lunch parents, um, and I had 221 people respond, um, within a few days. And I asked them about their services at the hub, the services that

177they receive, how they how that helps. So, this was a spreadsheet of, um, all the schools. So, we've got every school was represented in the, um, survey, which I thought was really great. Um, but here comes the a thing. So, 86% of parents, um, responded that they, um, reported that the hub made them feel more connected to their school and their district, which I thought was awesome cuz you always want to hear the good things. And then, 50% of families reported that the hub helped them get their kid to school, um, attendance, and improve their attendance. And that was basically because cited access to food, clothing, transportation, just resource navigation, um, those were removed barriers getting them to school. Um, food security is the most utilized service at the hub, um, especially with the way

178this economy is, the food distributions have been really huge. And we found that, um, food distributions are an easy access point. And what that means is it's relatively low risk for someone to come and get food. They don't necessarily have to come in and ask for help, um, but that tends to be where we find our parents and we start having conversations and then, it's like the onion and we realize there's all these other things and, you know, I was talking to a dad at the food distribution and he had two kids at Coffin and they were doubled up and his he just lost his job and they had no housing and they couldn't get their kids to school and like all the things. And so, we connected him with PCOE, did all these things,

179got him connected, got him routed for transportation, um, but all because he just showed up to get some food at the hub. Um, so, um, a direct quote from a parent, "If it wasn't for the support here, we wouldn't make it through the month with groceries sometimes." Um, and so, that was just reiterated over and over. Um, and it's, you know, the thing I got a call yesterday when I sent out the Medical notice that I'm sure you all saw, um, and a mom called and said, "Hey, I I I need some help. I need to get insurance for myself. My kids have insurance, but I don't." I said, "Yes, of course, she's here." 3 seconds later, she starts bawling and telling me she has no food in her house for her kids. And they're

180a family of six and she doesn't know what she's going to do. And I was like, "I am so sorry. Like, can you come here? Can you get here? Do you have a way to get here? I can get you food. Like, come here. And so, she came and we got her food and resources. But, she is has kids at 12 Bridges Middle and 12 Bridges High School and is not on the free and reduced lunch list. And so, it just you just never know what people are going through. And she just got a text about Medicaid. And that led to her being connected and getting resources. And so, you just don't know. And so, that's why I say the food is the entry point because often times it's that text about eggs people come

181for and then they we get them with all these other things. Um so, families value the full continuum of support. Most of them recognize that they use the clothes closet, school supplies, holiday assistance. They come for the family engagement classes. Lauren is at the hub hub all the time. See her there. And then, career and employment services. And then, families noted that it helped them through different difficulties with job loss, loss of family member, single parent household. So, just you know, crises that come up in people's lives when they're just not expecting it. Um families feel deep gratitude and trust, which is great because it is a vulnerable time when you are going through something. And so, I think that's like that resonated well with us that like we're at least hitting the mark there

182and people feel welcome. And that is that's the key for us. So, and then growth cuz we always want to know what we can do better, which was not a surprise because a lot of people want evening hours, they want summer programming, food distributions, earlier notifications, which is great. We just Christina Lawson, who's always doing all the amazing things, just got us a grant for a rural summer program. So, we're going to all summer long seven breakfasts and seven lunches to every kid in the district who wants them. So, that's going to be great. Earlier notification of food distributions is a big one. But, I want to say that we don't do that for a purpose because I made the mistake, which I knew. So, last night Emily and I were like we last week

183we were like we have to get all these toiletry items and bras out to people that we got from Project Glimmer. So, we were like okay, we'll do it Tuesday. So, Monday night comes I'm like I need to send the Parent Square. I'll send it. So, I send the text letting people know it's going to be tomorrow at 12:00 noon. So, 11:15 we have a line 30 people deep. And so, they waited for an hour in the blazing sun and I just I feel horrible but people line up and so they say why don't you send things earlier? Because people will come as soon as I send them and I can't I can't be doing that. So, um but we're working on it and then they also want more Spanish language um supports more classes

184which is amazing because um we met with the liaisons about a month ago um and created a calendar working on our parent engagement nights for next year and um they have a whole list of classes that we're going to offer in Spanish and um to get that engagement out. So, that was a need that people wanted. Um and then transportation people can't get to the hub um as much as it is centrally located sometimes they're at work or they're at school. Um so, those are all things that we're working out and um trying to get better at. But those are all things identified in our survey from our parents. So, what's next? Um we are enhancing our and family engagement efforts district-wide. We're going to have a really great calendar. It's more robust than this

185year for next year. Um we're going to roll out the parent teacher home visit training um program launching it in the fall. Um we have a new partnership with Kids First. It's going to provide more mental health counseling um in our schools. Right now Lighthouse can only serve Medi-Cal eligible or um no insurance kiddos. Um but Kids First is willing to serve any kid um which is great and so they will come and meet us in our schools so that parents don't have to like go to Roseville or Rocklin to have counseling appointments for their kids. Um we are going to have have family laundry room up and running and we are expanding and enhancing our district systems. So, when we talk about sustainability, um this grant is only 5 years. We are going into

186year three of five, um and then, you know, hopefully CDE will offer some extensions, but we don't really know what that holds. So, um we are ensuring sustainability. The goal is to create a family resource center supervisor position so that the hub um has a dedicated um system going forward, and it's not dependent on any one person. Um we're going to enhance and expand our district systems even more cuz we can always get better. Um apply for future grant funding, and then grant funding with LCAP as applicable if needed in the future. So, that's it. I tried to be quick cuz we've been here all night. Sorry. Uh any questions? >> Thank you for that great presentation. Any questions? >> No, for both. It was wonderful. >> Okay. >> I have a quick question. >>

187Yeah. >> Oh, go ahead. I was saying I I >> Yeah, yeah. >> I was just going to So, when I toured it, and I think it was last year, you were your main uh location was over there at Phoenix, right? >> Well, it's in the portables in between Phoenix and Lincoln. It's technically the Lincoln High School. >> still there in the little portable? I mean, you're getting >> We have four portables now. >> And you're getting Okay. Okay. >> Yeah. So, we were so lucky. Last year >> 5,000 lbs of meat and that that wasn't going to fit in >> No, no. Yeah. Um last year we had one portable uh the first year. And then at the beginning of this year we had Phoenix the campus was built, and they they left those

188buildings. Carrie was so very gracious and granted us the other three buildings that were there. So, the next building over is where um washers and dryers. We had two commercial washers and two commercial dryers that were installed in August. Um and then that's our storage. The next building over is a full classroom of a clothes closet, and the next one is our family engagement community college and career center where we host events, where we have parent classes, so it's our classroom. Like >> I think I need to visit again in the new year. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And we are um going to be going for a we're going to go for the Golden Bell award. So. Yeah, we're working on that application right now. >> Well, thank you. Thank you for your presentation.

189Okay. Um can we take a 5-minute break for a bathroom before we get into the budget? Okay. Thanks. All right. Are we back? >> We're all back. Okay. >> Good. Uh 9.3 budget. >> Hello. Um I don't have a handout for you, but Maria is quickly um adding this presentation to the agenda, so that you can look at it um on your Chromebooks if you'd like, or else it's going to be up here. I've been instructed to keep it short. Just the budget tonight, Alice. >> Oh, okay. >> Fire away, period. >> Okay, thank you. Um, so this is the preliminary budget and as I mentioned earlier, uh, we're required to, um, have two separate board meetings regarding the budget. And so the first one is tonight where we had the public hearing and I'll

190present the, um, budget assumptions and the preliminary budget numbers. And then you will be asked to adopt the, uh, final budget in 2 weeks. Those numbers, um, will probably look a little bit different from now because we are still finalizing, but it shouldn't be substantially different. So the legislature has until June 15th to pass the budget for next year. And of course we will have already, um, determined our budget so by that time. So any changes, any major changes that are necessary based on the state adopted budget will then be brought back to you at the first meeting in August because we have to make those, um, budget changes known to you within 45 days of the passage of the state budget. So first we'll look at our revenue assumptions. Um, our enrollment, as you

191can see looking at the the first column in the 25-26 estimated actuals, our actual enrollment this year was 8,230 students, which was an increase of 2.2% or 179 students from last year. We had actually originally budgeted a 3% increase and so that was, um, a a reduction from what we budgeted. Going forward, looking at next year, our our current enrollment trends for next year is right now we're showing an increase of about 1%. We're we're we're projecting an increase of 1 and 1/2% for next year, and so we'll just continue to monitor and see how that is going. I think 1 1 and 1/2% is still doable, but I certainly don't expect to have more than that. And then this year, we were projecting a 94.0% ADA yield, and that was based basically on the

192last 2 years ADA percentage. In 23-24, we saw a 93.6% ADA yield. But let's see. In 23-24, we saw 94.6% ADA yield, and then in 94-90 24-25, we saw a 94.93.6% ADA yield. So, putting those two together, we projected a 94.0% ADA yield this year. Unfortunately, we wound up with 94.6% So, even though our enrollment came in lower than we projected, our ADA came in higher than we projected. Which was overall good news. So, for next year and the two subsequent years, for each year we're projecting a 1 and 1/2% increase in enrollment, and we're projecting 94.2% ADA yield. All right. That was a lot. And as you can see at the bottom, our statutory COLAs, this year was 2.3%. Next year will be 2.87% and are projected to be 3.3% in 2027-28 and 3.09%

193in 2028-29. Unfortunately, the last several years the state has had a tendency to overestimate subsequent years COLAs and so we've seen, um, for example, this year's statutory COLA going into 2026-27 is 2.87%, which is up from what was projected earlier this year, but if we look at when we adopted this year's budget a year ago, the 2026-27 COLA was, um, projected to be over 3%. Expenditures. Of course, our major expenditures are on people. And, um, this year we increased, um, a total of about 17 FTE, 10.1 certificated and 6.9 classified. Going into next year, right now we're looking at increasing 2.7 certificated new positions. That's that's a net of, um, 3.7 teaching FTE, um, 1.0 middle school admin, and then we're reducing those two high school, um, VP positions that Mike was talking about. And

194then, um, in the next two years we are looking at increasing five growth teachers each year. Our certificated step and column costs are 1.73%. So, that's even without any salary like settlements, negotiations. That's just the natural increase in costs based on people certificated people moving over on the salary schedule based on um additional education and just years with the district as they move each year. Classified, we are looking currently at increasing 2.4 FTE and primarily those site-based student services coordinator positions. And our classified step and column is actually a higher rate than certificated and it's nearly 2 and 1/2%. Speaking um Marjorie, you're surprised at the costs of the benefits when we're talking um about staffing costs for classified employees, we actually have to pay about 36% in um um roll up um payroll taxes

195and the majority of that about 26, 27% is PERS. And then the rest is social security and Medicare and the normal things. And then for our certificated employees, it's a little over 22% and that is mostly STRS, which is about 19.1%. So, those um and those rates have gone up massively from a decade ago. And that's um luckily they've kind of um kind of flatlined right now. PERS is going up and down a little bit each year, but um Um, STRS is 19.1% for the foreseeable future. Um, but but just um, to give some perspective, and again, I'm thinking a decade ago or so, STRS was 8.25%. So, it has gone up more than 10% in that time, and um, we we get no additional funds to um, accommodate for those increases. And then the

196last line there, we um, is our contribution to routine re- routine restricted maintenance. And we're required to um, contribute 3% of our total expenditures and outgo to uh, routine repair and maintenance each year. And so, that is around $4 million that um, we're required to contribute to that program. So, this is a lot of information on a not very big slide, but this is um, our preliminary general fund budget for 26-27. It shows total revenues of just under 130 million for the general fund, total expenditures uh, million with um, other outgo of about uh, 873,000 to other um, funds. So, this is a decrease of about 6.7 million in ending fund balance. Much of that, about 2 million of that is uh, restricted. So, um, our restricted fund balance is projected to go down about

1972 million, our unrestricted is projected to go down about 4.7 million. Um, which sounds very scary, but about 3 .4 of that 4.7 is um just supplemental funds carryover. So, um our our operating deficit in 2026-2027 is not that significant, but it is still well over a million dollars, which is a concern and will continue to grow in the future. And then looking at our current year, 25-26, um at second interim, we were looking at having an ending fund balance of about 13.6 million. Now, our um 25-26 projected ending fund balance is about 18 million. Um some of that is um because of increased revenues. We do have um because of that 94.6% ADA yield, which is greater than we projected, uh that brings us about $460,000 in additional revenue. Um we've also received some

198additional federal, state, and local revenues. Um most of that is restricted. Additional expenditures, we've increased our salary and budget been um salary and benefits budgets by close to 1.6 million for this year, and that's mostly due to salary settlements. And and we knew that that that was coming. Um and then um we've actually decreased our budgeted books and supplies operating expenditures and capital outlay. And that's mostly because um we've reduced, as I mentioned, our supplemental budget, which are we're budgeting to carry over over 3 million. Um and we reduced our um SPED bug one-time block grant budget by about two million dollars in this year because we because we need those funds for next year. So we we reduce this year's expenditures so we could increase next year's budgeted expenditures for that. So overall, our

199estimated ending fund balance for this year is 18,356,000. Okay, so moving to next year, this year and next year's projected ending fund balances a little more detail in there. So our 2025-2026 estimated actuals again about 18.3 million dollars in ending fund balance. A little bit of that 5,000 is revolving cash. 214,000 is prepaid expenditures, so things that we paid this year or last year that are actually for expenses that we will incur in the future. As you can see 3.4 million of that 18 million is supplemental program reserves. About 9.3 million of that is on our restricted programs. ELOP, title one, title two, um routine repair and maintenance. 4.2 million is our 3% reserve for economic uncertainty. So that's the amount that we are required to reserve and basically not allowed to spend. In addition

200to that, we have about just under 1.2 million of our economic uncertainty surplus, which is I mean basically what we have over the the the minimum that's available to spend. However, when you look at next year's preliminary budget, that um unassigned economic uncertainty surplus is down to virtually nothing. It's $109,000. So, currently that's our wiggle room for next year. >> Is it $109,000? >> It's $109,000. But, the good news is if you wait give me till the next slide. It's a little bit better. Exactly. Oh, and off to the side there's a note the 2026-27 preliminary budget includes $2 million in one-time block grant funds. Those were the funds that we got this year's fund bug money that we we've held on to most of it. And that $2 million is going to help us

201get through next year until we are able to make some ongoing ongoing budget reductions so that we're able to um sort of right-size our ongoing budget deficit. >> Sarah, do you know off the top of your head how much we've cut out of this budget in the last 2 years? >> I don't know it off the top of my head. I have that reasonably close. >> Can you give me a number? >> Um it's several. I think but over two the 2 years it was actually close to $8 million. Yeah. Um >> And we have how much more to cut in the next round of >> Uh 3 and 1/2 million. >> So, we will >> Starting in 2027-28 ongoing. >> Right. Right. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Cool. Thanks. >> You're welcome. >> Glad we

202saved this for the end. You've all sat. >> Okay, here's some potential goodness. So, what's not included here are um some items that the governor has proposed in his May revise, but we haven't included because we don't know which of these will um wind up in the actual budget that's adopted by the state. So, I do anticipate we will see some additional revenues. We just don't know how much or quite in what form. So, the three items that that he is proposing um that we will probably see um some form of is the additional 1.44% investment in the LCFF so that we would get what's um known as a super COLA or total COLA would be 4.31% for next year. Um It's a little disingenuous to me that that this is called a COLA because

203along with it comes some additional cost, which we um we really can't reasonably um project what that would cost us. Um but it's the proposal of 14 weeks of paid pregnancy disability leave for um for employees, which is great. I mean, paid pregnancy disability leave is wonderful. Um I would have loved to have had it. But the um I'm like 25 years too late having children and too early, I guess. Um but the difficulty with that is again, it's um it doesn't give us a true COLA as it's being um sort of marketed as. It's it'll hit districts very, very differently just depending on if they're elementary district, which um tends to have more pregnancy leave if they're high school districts, if they're like us, a unified district, it's going to hit growing districts differently

204than it's going to hit possibly declining districts because generally growing districts are the ones that are going to be hiring people of more just hiring more staff, which tend to be more child-bearing age. So, it's just really unknown how this this will impact us. So, it makes it very difficult to budget for going forward and to really see how much of that additional 1.44% will be available for other operating expenditures. Um The another thing that is not included is the governor's proposal to increase special education funding to $1,340 per ADA. And we're currently at about $917 per ADA. So, this is really a significant potentially significant increase in revenues. Again, we're just not sure if we will I think we'll receive some form of that. I don't know if it will be the full $1,340

205per ADA. Um and then the other thing that's not included is the additional student support and professional development block grant or SPBG funds that the governor's proposing. And um What he proposed would get would net us nearly $7 million in one-time funds, which again is a good a good sum of money. And also again, as I've told you before, um not ideal because we don't we money is great and I'll take $7 million but I'd much rather have less on an you know of an ongoing nature that we can count on and properly budget for and and spend consistently through through the years. This one um the governor and the assembly and the state senate all have different proposals as to they're all agreeing like hey this is great let's do some one-time block grant

206funds but the dollar amount and how it would be distributed among districts within the state are very different so we'll just have to wait and see with that one particularly what we might wind up with there. >> Can I ask you a question? >> Yeah. >> Um the one-time funds are you know great I guess for one one-time. We like you said we won't not take them but um how does this somewhat offset the governor's raid of that of the Prop 98 money? >> That's always difficult um to for me to answer because >> It's a maneuver of Prop >> um yes. We don't call it a raid we call it a maneuver. >> maneuver >> Um >> I think that's French. >> But >> um so um the because it's difficult to determine how

207if if the governor wasn't proposing to withhold the 3.9 billion dollars um I I don't know how that would potentially be allocated to to schools so it's kind of difficult to compare them directly to each other. >> And your last presentation was 635-ish per student. >> Mhm. >> That's what that works out to. Does this offset that, I guess, is my question? At all? >> Not in an ongoing. >> Oh, so that would be So, that's ongoing? >> maneuver is ongoing. >> Mhm. >> It's just reducing our Prop 28 >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> funding. >> Okay. And that's a huge I mean, that's a big number per student. And what What did you calculate that out to in total? >> It was I think we said it was like almost 5 million. >> Yeah.

208>> Almost 6 million. I believe. And again, ongoing. >> Yeah, and I do take back because um part of his guarantee, right? Well, not his, but the Prop 98 guarantee now is in the form of one-time. So, that that additional holdback doesn't necessarily guarantee it's an ongoing revenue. Um it could be an additional one-time types of funds. But, either way, it's five to It's a huge hit. >> additional dollars that we're likely not going to see with >> year over year. Or just that >> there the maneuver requires the payback, so part of what we're seeing moving forward is payback from last year and this year. >> Mhm. >> The last 2 years of not being paid because the maneuver happened in the last 2 years, also. >> Okay. Thank you. >> But, one piece

209of good news with that, too, is I don't recall if it's the um the Assembly or the State Senate, um but but one of those um houses, okay, is um pushing back on that um and uh does not want to include that deferral in the um in the state budget. >> That's the first time we've heard that. >> Yeah, so they they are the uh the Senate did that. They're they're recommending putting a little more money into the rainy day fund though. >> Oh. >> Which is still their contribution to us, it just doesn't come to us. It's sitting in the rainy day fund. >> So they're not going >> They're putting more money in the rainy >> But then but then distributing and they're the ones that are saying distribute a little bit differently

210and what we could though lose out on is because we don't have as high of a unduplicated pupil count, that the sped dollars could come differently to us because they're also recommending allocating a little bit differently. So. >> Like more money to districts that have a higher unduplicated count. >> Which would just further lower our We've talked before about how we're like per pupil funding is we're the last. This just further perpetuates that. >> No, I'm just frustrated. >> Yeah. >> Don't worry about me. >> All right. Giving me the July news is good news, but I'm just trying to >> Oh, I'm still waiting for it. >> Oh. >> Did it happen? >> until Wait until August. >> I missed it? >> There'll be some kind of good news. >> Okay. >> Um Okay,

211and so just again as I had mentioned um June 16th, I will not be here, but Ria uh Zindzen, our uh business director, will be presenting the adopted budget to you. Um and then again the first meeting in August, we will come back and tell you how the um how the adopted budget actually impacts our budget. And then in September, so oh my gosh, three short months, um we will present uh the 25-26 unaudited actuals, so you'll find out how we actually ended this year. That's all. >> Any questions? >> Yes. >> Any questions? >> I like this better than that thing over there. >> Can't hear you over there. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Um after all the assigned and restricted restrictions, how much truly unassigned reserve do we have? >> Well, um I would

212direct you to >> Hey, you're right. >> H7. Um basically it's what I was uh talking about how um this year we're projecting to have about 1.2 million. >> But that's before we do 3.5 million reduction, right? >> This year, yes. So >> So, >> I'm only right now we're only looking at this year and next year. >> Okay. >> So those are the only ones that I can speak to, but in June or in June at the next meeting we will have the multi-year projection, and so that will actually show maybe more of what you're asking about going forward into 27-28 and into 28-29. >> Okay. >> Um >> Cuz we need to make the cuts >> We will. We need to make the cuts for 27-28. >> and yes, we do. >> Yeah,

213and then going forward to 28-29. >> Right. Yeah, so next year we'll we'll the budget committee is going to be making decisions about the recommended ongoing cuts for the subsequent years. >> What is it going to take for us to have to stop cutting millions of dollars every year? That's what I want to know. >> No, I was. I'm not this year. >> No, I think it's Christy and Jason >> And you, too. on the budget committee. I would be glad to take your seat and go back. I know Christy showed up to some of the meetings. >> I yeah, I don't okay. Take that offline. >> Okay, any more questions? How do we get what is it going to take to get to the position of not using our one-time funds to do salaries?

214That scares me. >> The ongoing cuts. >> Yeah, and that is absolutely the goal of the the budget committee. Well, and again, the the goal is to come up with ongoing cuts so that we we aren't here every year with me saying we're going to statutory deficit, we're in statutory deficit. Um the goal is absolutely to to be able to be in a position where we don't have to make cuts because we are able to right-size our budget and that will >> Also not >> going to be um difficult work and not fun, but um necessary to get ourselves to a position where where we are able to um not have to be sort of teetering on a kind of a scary financial brink. >> Yeah. >> Any more questions? >> No. >> I'm I'm

215not trying to rush you it's just we're just getting it's getting late in the night and we don't want any more. All right, thank you Carrie. We have till 10:00 to >> I know, yeah, right, exactly. >> Okay. >> All right, thank you Carrie. >> Review of initial sunshine proposal, Mike. You've got 30 seconds. You can do it. >> 10 minutes, everybody else gets 15, 20 minutes, I get 30 seconds. I want to give a credit to Carrie for actually teasing the next budget session like something to look forward to. Mine will be brief. Um so, as part of uh negotiations, it's an ongoing cycle much like the budget. We close one contract and it's time to do a sunshine for the next year. Both contracts are well with CSEA's going into year two of

216a full contract and with that we just reached TA which should close the entirety of the contract. So, we're purely re-openers which means there's fewer articles. We can only open two per side. I'm presenting to you for a first read the CSEA sunshine proposals for the upcoming year. The letters are attached which goes a little bit more into detail about the motives behind it. But we as a district are proposing that we open evaluations for class five members. It's a document that hasn't been touched in a long time and there's mutual interest in making them more useful and meaningful for everybody. And also layoffs we're interested in streamlining some of the process so it's not always when there's a layoff we're always looking at who is the most the youngest least senior and is the

217quote unquote first out. Sometimes we have vacancies that can require that we don't have to do that and we want to catch some language to try to accomplish that. CSEA sunshine terms and conditions specifically in connection with transportation department members and what happens if they have a last minute cancellation on field trips. And then there are also sunshine benefits and salaries. Don't get nervous about that. Wait a minute, didn't we just do a two-year deal? Remember compensation, yes, but language they're able to sunshine things like what how many units do you have to go over to get like an additional bonus and things like that. So, it's not the overall salaries that are being negotiated open there. It's some of the language elements within benefits and salaries that they would like to take a peek

218at. So, no action needed. Just review those and that'll be an action item at the 616 meeting. >> Awesome. Thank you, Mike. All right. 5.5 First tab with the >> policies >> Did you go through them? >> I got only one. >> Okay. >> This is this was a really >> Yeah, it wasn't long. >> We only got some Friday.

Any Any ques- Any Any discussion from the board on that? Okay. I'm sorry. Did you say no? >> No, I said no. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Just just for the board's knowledge, so some of these are not things that are necessarily law related, but there was a law change to 6126.1, which informed many of the other policies. So, I

220just wanted to acknowledge that I know the board's desire is not to meet up these policies unless it's law related. >> Yeah. >> There was one that trickled down a lot, so it's >> Perfect. Yeah, that's great. Thank you. That's We appreciate that. Yeah. Okay. All right, public comment Public comment on items not on the agenda.
