This is uh the recommendation is that the board of trustees approve the TA 2425 application for miss school days waiver. This is for the incident dated April 30th, 2025 when we had to release uh Crystal City High School students because of of an electrical outage. Uh Mr. Alvarado, would you like to the podium to the high school? This is for high school and only for high school. So on April 30th uh around noon time we got notification that the high school uh there was a transformer what we understand as a
009transformer um that went was starting to give out uh officer Lehigh the school was doing a a unit the lights went out so he went out patrolling. He noticed that the transformer was uh smoking and um giving off electrical flames. Uh so when they opened up the casing as you can see in some of the pictures that that was actually on fire um the uh the school didn't have um it had the emergency lights but it didn't have the air con uh the air conditioning units were not kicking on. So the school started getting hot. Students started uh and there was no lights in the classrooms. So at that point in time we decided to go ahead and have an early release um which started at 1. What section number? It was the whole school.
010The whole school was without air conditioning. The uh newer part had the emergency lights which lit up the hallways but not the classrooms. So it was a whole Does the high school have a generator? Not nothing kicked on. So I'm not too sure. Is there a I guess I guess it did because of the emergency lights, but it just kicked on the emergency lights. It didn't kick on the the air conditioning or anything. Is that uh are supposed to kick on the the the room lights and the AC and everything or generator? No, there's no generator. There's no generator. The network operations center has two large 30k batteries, but that's only for the network equipment. I learn the recommendation. The recommendation is that the board of trustees approve the uh waiver the application for mix
011miss school days waiver for the 2425 school move by second by Mr. Spinoza. Questions concern in favor. Uh see discussion action to approve the uh 2526 aotment antiques. This is uh an annual re renewal. Uh the recommendation is that the board of trustees approve the 2526 instructional materials alignment and take certification as described to you. Again, this is something that is required of all school districts where we are attesting to TEA that all of our instructional materials are not only high quality but also approved by the state. And so what you see in these documents are the different uh programs, curriculums that we utilize to teach reading, math, science, social studies, and what have you. So recommendation the recommendation is that the board of trustees approve the 2526 aotment antique certification document and we have
012a motion motion a second I have one question I mean uh do you see any changes with the teach now that they're doing away with the I don't know with the star and uh it's going to continue the well the star has is still in uh the TIES the most recent TE changes or at least to assessment is are the science TESS other than that we are still going through yes so M these are the curriculums that they're going to be using and they're correct these are the these are the curriculums that we are required to use here locally for the mathematics 9 through 12 in our research of all of these it says we're using STEM scopes they're only offers algebra one their program um so what does the other um classes use algebra
0132 whatever Uh, I cannot speak to that. I would have Miss Reena speak to specific resources. I don't know. Algebra 2 geometry. We don't have a curriculum. Does that need to be here? It should be. Well, it's it's standards. It's not. We do have an algebra to curriculum. It's all about algebra. That's meant to measure. No, that's not a curriculum. We have textbooks for outdated the textbooks that we have that they use. Um, but they pull from different resources since we don't have a set, but they do correlated to the teach. Correct. Are those required to be listed here? No, not the not the supplemental resources are not supposed to be here. The the TICS is the actual curriculum if you all the other kids. uh what supplementary materials I use depend now seeing that
014we are adopting all these different curriculums and the research I saw that there's a lot of professional development and a lot of supplemental items that can be used to enhance the you know the teachers implementation yes sir they have access to all of that they have access to to what professional developments they require now professional development comes out of the comprehensive needs assessment of every campus campus and so it is uh the principal's responsibility to let us know if they need professional development in in in curriculum uh resources versus content. Do we have a motion? Yes. Yes. Okay. In favor zero. Uh the discussion action item to approve a budget number four the 2425 school year. Uh Mrs. Estrada, Mr. uh V uh Mr. Velasquez will uh come to the podium and go over budget
015amendment. You all should have a copy of it in your uh in your packets. Yes, sir. It's on page 103. Evening. Good evening to the back. Have your budget. Can you speak a little louder? Yes, sir. For my brother. We are at the end of a close to the end of the school year and the audience is around the corner. That's what we're bringing in. I cannot say it's speak a beautiful budget because the budget is at the beginning we had um in the revenues we had a 17.8 with expenditures of 20.9. So it is it is shrinking but beautiful because it's not balanced still unbalanced. That's why we're bringing in uh to bring it up from 3.1 to 1.6 with a difference of 1.5. As you all can see, we we had a a
016proposed amendment number two, but it's since we all know the budget was one, two, and three. So that's why we have number four. One, two, and three was Mr. Salman's. Let me let me just refresh. I was under the impression that it was the second amendment. And it sounds weird because like the constitution, but it's it's not. Amendment two and three were actually and I was just informed that recently actually Friday uh or Saturday that amendment two was for the debt service, right? That was adjusted some and so was the food service. So this is really amendment two for the general fund but in reality in sequence it's amendment number four in the school year. So the next one down the line regardless of which program it is will be number five just following sequence.
017So we can just keep track of which ones did that. And M is correct. It's not beautiful because we don't like to present unbalanced budgets or proposal or estimates actually. Again, if you'll notice off to the far right change, I hate to take your thunder, but off to the far right, the revenue has gone up by one almost 1 [Music] million,000. Uh and the expense has dropped by almost half a million. It's been adjusted. If you look to the left, that column on the left, the difference was 3.1 million in the deficit. Okay? And Miss Estrada has noted way at the bottom, you've got uh it says 7 7919 the number in the middle in highlight the 1.2 is the revenue or the uh proceeds that came in from insurance. Those are not documented in
018here, but if in the bank they'll show up automatically. So the deficit is really 392,000. So it went from it went from 392,000. It went from 3.1 million short down to 392,000. It's not perfect, but it's it's a lot better. It's a hell of a lot better. Sorry for my French. Do you all have any questions? There's some minor notes that Mrs. not noted down there for you all just in case you have some questions. Do we have any questions for Robert or for MRA? This is budget amendment number two to general general fund general fund and four in sequence. What are some of the notes you wrote? As you all can see on the 1.2 is not included in the revenue that is for an extraordinary item and it's still the revenue in question
019which you're going to decide if it's going to be used to repair facilities or address the cash flow or to pay repay the interest. However, ma that's that's not a decision that we're that we're making today that the board is considering today. A question just her notes from but she was discussing u do you have information regarding uh budgeted numbers versus actual? Yes, I have the revenues and expenders as of April. [Applause] Thank you, Robert. Thank you. [Applause] Rubber. Sure. Um all she's showing for you is what you had current which is what you've adopted which was amendment number one that's in place. The other one hasn't shown up because it hasn't taken been taken action and the year data as she pointed out earlier is that's that column says YD that's actual received and
020this is till the end of April of April 20. Yes. 30 the second yeah second column. the second column. The first one is the budget, the one that was adopted. And once you adopt this one, then we're going to go back and adjust this numbers, revenues and expenditures. And you'll see it on the next report for May. So to April, expenditures have been 16.16 million. Yes, sir. And revenue 17.6 as of April. Yes. You've got a couple of incumbrances there. Bills that haven't been paid but have been spoken for. That's at 631,000. As you can see on the bottom there's the 1.2 and it's not in the revenue. It's over here is other extraordinary items. So it's not included in the actual revenue. What we have in the bank right now or available to use
021is 456,000. That's simply the variance between Yeah. There's more because there's most revenue that's come in from taxes and odds and ends. Yeah. And then there's a a few expenses that have also been incurred from the first till till current. Or last time you mentioned that that you had when you retired that you had left a CD in the bank. I mean how much is it's not much. We if you remember we have the school party. I'm retired. They had set up the school district had set up a self-funded health insurance program and blue at the time the administrator required the school district to secure a $30,000 CD in their name in case we were short paying claims or odds and ends or basically administrative fees. They weren't worried about the claim, they were worried
022about their fee. So we did that and it's still around. They still have the CD makes them a little bit of interest and nobody's cashed it in. So you got that resources. OCD has been in the bank since it's been quite a number of years. That insurance has been around like I'm going to say 30 years. And we create we created a we created a an insurance in the district. We did the school did administration and benefits were way better than the TRS to keep considering every year and subsidizing. I think this year you've subsidized it by over 400,000 outside the employee in the district. That CD is included in this budget in the in the report. It's in the cash. It's in the cash amount. Well, for any other CDs that you forgot still
023there somewhere. So I guess do you have um information regarding like for plant maintenance number 51 you lowered the expect you lowered our our budgeted number by 212,000. What was actually removed from the budget or you know are they not buying um items to clean the the restrooms or what's being done or what's being some of the those accounts expenditure accounts were over budgeted. That's all we did to Mron and the three of us worked together to make those amendments. There were some plan items that were budgeted for and not utilized. Either people moved away or moved off to a different position or services were not uh were not utilized. So instead of letting them sit there, we amended it and moved it left and right. So what we do Vince is every two weeks
024we we meet and we look at how you know the rate of encumbrance and if we see that there's a line item that is not encumbering at the rate that it should because there isn't an expense then we go ahead and say you know what we're going to reduce it by $10 and we'll see how it and then in two weeks we come back and look at it and Robert is really good about saying no that that line item is going to need the $10 back. I mean, we're being very methodical about how we reduce. You just reduce it or do you move it to another line item? It depends on It depends on what the budget says we need to do. So, we have some items that have no appropriation at the beginning of
025the year. So, we know we have to move money in there. Uh, but we're pretty much taken care of all of that already. And when we when you move the items, I mean, being a new board member, I gone to a lot of trainings and in these trainings, they said every time you move an item from one to the next, it has to be a budget amendment. Uh not if it's a budget transfer. If you move within the function, it does not require an amendment. So if you move within 21, but what if you move from 21 to 23? Then it would have it has to come before the board. And that's what you see here. And that's what this is. It's an amendment. It's only between the functions when we bring the amendments. And
026this is only for the general fund. When you have grants, the the amendments are within objects from payroll to supplies to travel. And those don't come to the board, they go to TEA. So there's a percentage amount that TA allows for you to move before asking them. But once you get to that threshold, you ask that. You have to ask TA for permission to do that. Those are on the federal grants. Those are on the grants. Exactly. All state and federal grants. Do you have information where what you move from what line item to what line item? How much from one to the next? Can you send that to us? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. We have documentation for everything. Andrew, what are we doing here? We have backup. Any more questions for Robert or your
027recommendation? The recommendation is that the board of trustees approve budget amendment number four for the 2425 school year. Do I have a motion? Motion by Mr. Spinosa. Second approves. Questions, concerns? Not all in favor. Thank you. meeting and Robert, we're going to be seeing other adjustments until we balance the budget. Yes, there you go. Thank you. There were a couple of information district enrollment report. I guess one minute. Our district enrollment uh as of uh May 9th is at 1563 active. We have 167 inactive students. That's still students that move back and forth. And our uh average attendance as of May 9th, again, we're we're we're uh we're holding at 91%. We've been steady for for quite a bit. That's that's really all we have in terms of enrollment in ADA. uh if I may
028it's related to this what percent we submit to TA for the next three years uh that percentage what's done at the end of the fourth marking period MNA would have to be able to respond to that I don't know did we use a 92% or a 93% for projecting for the next two years 93% because that's where we were at that time that was our average uh are we are we ready. Are we prepared to cover the possibility that at the end when TA that their calculations turns out that it's not it's not that slow. Robert is is looking at summary finance every day to see if TA is projecting to make an adjustment. We looked at it this morning. We have nothing only the $90,000 adjustment that they made early in the fall. But
029as of today, nothing unless Robert there's something new. Yes, they gave us more money. About a week ago today, $4 more. There you go. How about four? But no adjustment. No negative adjustment. Anyhow, how many how many students does that equal to? I'm sorry. How many does 93% equal to? How many students? Uh the projection mir was made at uh 1422. 1425. 1425. Yes. We went under in place in case we have a a decline in enrollment. Let's report. Yes. Uh I need a motion to adjourn. Second. Yeah. Questions, concerns? Not all in favor? You're going to need these? All personnel. Thank you. Thank you. Recording stopped. I don't even know what
