001opening for a special meeting on budget hearing. Uh time is 5:33 and we'll go ahead and open up and this is for the 2526 budget. Um I will that prevent stick on it. All right. So, what we're budget hearing um been through this before, but um kind of a quick headline slide for everybody that um we based our budget on enrollment of 2194. Uh we have calculated crossroads um enrollment decreasing due to the sunset daily agreement. They go down a little bit this year and then a little more next year. And um we have the budget for a small kindergarten class of 145. But based on birth rates, we are planning gently planning for a possibility of it being around 180 possibly. um if if our capture rate comes through and as we talked about
002in uh demographic report, this is kind of a trigger year for us to see it go one of two directions with our enrollment. It could start getting very high if the kindergarten capture rates um hold steady or it could just be a little high. Um but we're expecting large kindergarten classes for the foreseeable future. We're budgeting a year-end fund balance of $3.3 million. Um, this grows our fund balance by 1.1 with an any fund balance of that meets the board requirement of 7%. And it's actually 7.3%. um kind of a something I'm probably going to highlight a number of times today and um in future board meetings is that uh because the high school has been paid off now that was the biggest piece of our bond levy that we have. So we are currently
003collecting $4.8 million um to pay our all of our debt services obligation for our bonds. that's going to go down to $500,000 starting in the calendar tax year. So, it's a 41% decrease in overall tax rates for Granite Falls. Um special education costs continue to increase and they increase in the budget but um the change in the funding formula which with the no cap and the increased multipliers lowering of the safety net threshold and the ability to still get safety net will cut goes a long way towards nearly 100% funding of special ed. Um so thank you to the legislature for that. um >> IPD for this year is 2 and a.5%. This drives salary increases as well as revenue increases from the state but the revenue increases will always be less than the salary
004increases due to the state staffing formulas. We are the formulas don't generate enough staffing to actually run a school like we always talk about and the funding formula for how much to pay a staff member is nowhere near what any school district pays their staff members. So there's two kind of shortfalls there and there the revenue they give us increases by IPD but when we pass IPD on to our staff that's there's usually a growing gap what is funded versus not funded. Um continues to be some risk around federal funding. Uh federal grants are at varying degrees of risk and our free meals for kids which is the most painful is at risk because most of that comes from federal funding. Um, also Washington state revenue remains at risk for the foreseeable future. Um, K12
005education is somewhat protected, but we've been seeing each revenue forecast come in increasingly lower than what was projected. Um, so things things that aren't so protected under basic education, state grants, um, transportation, things like that could be at risk if the state starts making some deeper budget cuts. Um real quick overview of the fund balance. Um kind of shows the 7.3% annual fund balance this year. Shows our revenues, our expenditures. Um kind of has a history, there's a history of our fund balance. So um had a couple of dips, but we've been steadily increasing for the last three years. Um we have a forecasted year-end fund balance of about $2.2 million. And that's what we're basing next year's budget on is our forecasted um ending fund balance. The second little graph there is a trend
006of uh by percentage what our fund balances and it also has stairstepped up quite nicely over the last couple years. Um and then a little table showing our history of fund balance over the years. Um a breakdown of our enrollment. Again, I I think the thing to really point out is the decline in Crossroads enrollment. Um, there will be some kids from the high school that transfer over to Crossroads there, but they'll there'll still be probably, you know, 35 or so Lake Stevens kids there for one more year. Um, but declining crossroads enrollment due to the sun setting of the Lake Stevens agreement. and then a kindergarten class of 145, but we're tracking it every day. We've got eight pending enrollments in there in the system right now. It could be as high as 180
007185. So, we're we've had some early discussions about what do we do if that happens, but we need to see the points of the eyes before we kind of react to it. Um, one thing interesting from our demographic report is that we do a really good job of if a kid is a first grader this year, they generally end up a second grader next year. We have very little roll off of that. We almost in fact we retain 102% of our kids on average from grade to grade. So that is kind of a nice thing that once once kids are in our system they tend to stay and move forward each grade. Um, so there's a little bit of a enrollment trend. The graph is a little it looks it looks dramatic, but really the
008range is 2050 to 2250. So it's it's really especially the last three years fairly flat in all the graph looks more dramatic than it is. Um, our revenue, this is where our revenue comes from. Um just kind of a call it 7.4% of our revenue is federal which is the riskiest portion of our revenue. Little pie chart of where our revenue comes from. The bulk is from the state almost uh that 79% of our total revenue just comes from the state. We get 10% from our levy 10.6% from our levy. We get um two 3.3% from other entities like Snowish County for paying for ECAP and our SSAs and some other um revenue for other programs that have passed through other agencies to us. Um and this this kind of percentage is pretty consistent over
009the years. And the kind of the fallout of the slide is that 7.4% with some of our revenue does come from the federal and in today's political climate. Most federal revenue for most states is at risk. Um kind of a comparison of our general fund expenditures and then a call out of a couple of specific programs that we always like to talk about. Um the general fund expenditures obviously enrollment has trended up a little bit. inflation has happened. So, our expenditures have trended upward over the years, but um we have done a really good job of balancing of staffing to where the enrollment is in our district and matching enrollment fluctuations over the last few years. And so our really the primary reason for our growth of um fund balance has been us really trying
010to hone down on balancing enrollment and staffing. >> Marshall, I have a question that if I'm interpreting it correctly, I think is very important whenever we talk about the importance of a fund balance and unforeseen circumstances. So actually if you go back one slide federal being 7.4% $3.4 million almost $3.5 million if federal funding gets cut like hypothetically if it got cut at the beginning of the 2425 year we would technically be in the red right now. >> Correct. >> So I again the importance of a fund balance like I I just want to make it very clear these numbers are large. It's because school districts are expensive. Um but if we you know in looking at the reason why having a fund balance it's not just it's not a rainy day fund. It is
011a oh my goodness the Fed just cut our you know they're no longer funding anything. And even with that we'd still be in the red. >> A lot of people would be in the red but we we'd be in the red too. So, I just want to make sure that that's pointed out and very obvious that that's even that's a very uh acute reason. It's not just death by this is not death by a thousand paper cuts. It could just be ripped away and all of a sudden red and >> I guess I would add to that that the federal funding isn't bright shiny toys that we can live without. You know, it's remediation for um kids that are falling behind or kids that are underrepresented. It's free meals for kids. It's all it's some
012special ed funding grants to help with that. This isn't like >> things that we could help hope helpfully to absorb and live without. These things are all >> things that help prop kids up. Um so this is all for transportation interest in transportation um under bund transportation by about $300,000. Child nutrition is underfunded. Um the reimbursement rates don't match what it actually costs to make meals. Um and then a slide about property tax. Little bond history. Our Granite Falls High School bond was almost $22 million and it got paid off in December. We have half of the steam bond getting paid off in December of 2026 or a third of the steam bond. The rest doesn't get paid off till 2036 and the high school turf and track gets paid off in uh June 2033.
013But um look, we have the operations levy right now is $5 million a year. That's uh that's we tax to to uh raise the money for. It's voted on property projects voted on levy debt services is um money that we are able to raise to pay off our voted off bonds and that the operations levy and the capital project levy remain flat for county year 2026. But the debt services levy, the bulk of it falls off because the bulk of it was going to pay for the Granite Falls High School bond, which we happily paid off. So, it results in an overall reduction of 41% to uh for Granite Falls uh taxpayers. Um just a reminder of how difficult it is to pass a bond in Washington with a 60% threshold. And um maybe starting
014off starting the conversation of can we do some of the mediumsiz projects that are needed here using a higher a more significant capital projects levy while still reducing the overall tax rate for Granite Falls residents. Um, you know, there there's the overall tax bill is going down by $4 million for the Granite Falls residents. And can some of that go to help um instead of asking for a bond to increase our capital projects levy to do some of these medium-siz projects that we can't pay for using our existing levy and can't pay for using state funds. It's they're just they're too big for that. but maybe don't require a bond. Um, and that's it. If we want to have try to save good 10 minutes for questions or or go back to other slide to
015slides or any questions. H. So with the decline in enrollment that you're budgeting, is that changing um any staff or anything along those lines or essentially keeping the staff that we're at now? >> We've worked through nutrition that we are not replacing. There is some shifting of enrollment that we've had to shift kind of where staff are. Um we did do a we did do some um non-renewals. Yes, we had some provisional employees that we non that we non-renewed. Um we also did have the one reduction >> um that that held um and so that was a 1.0. And then we haven't reduced on the classified side at all. Um that's the the the final piece for us to to really look at and see if there's anything needed there. We do. I mean, we
016spend a lot of time comparing ourselves to neighboring districts, and I know that most of the neighboring districts have more money to work with than we do, but we are staffed pretty lean. Our class sizes are still, we've done a lot of work to try and rightsize our class sizes a little bit. They're still lower than most districts around us. And I think that's a bragging point that we can grow our fund balance and still have our class sizes lower than most of our surrounding districts. Um, not a lot of lot not a lot of low hanging fruit anymore though. We we've pretty much captured all the low and medium hanging fruit. If we if we got to a point where the state was cutting budget and federal funds dried up, those would be some
017painful conversations. >> So, I guess I just wanted to make it clear we're not obviously we're not cutting anymore. Are we hiring any? We do have some open positions, but those those are primarily due to um staff going elsewhere or having opportunities elsewhere and having to replace them. >> Yeah. >> Um what is our and I obviously this is all based upon a crystal ball, right? And so I think I saw like 125 kindergarteners or something and let's just say 165 show up, which it happens more often than I care to remember. So now we're trying to hire a teacher in June or July. Have we still do we have are we working to like creating like a hiring pool or doing a better job so that we're not Right. The vast majority of teachers
018by that point are already hired. Right. So we're we're begging are we doing anything to help make that uncomfortable situation better by maybe going out and talking to people now or trying to get them in the pool or or something? We have we have one existing staff member that is a little bit on the extra staff member side that would help us absorb one classroom. We're working on um designating two potential classrooms for um for kindergarten that wasn't designated before just in case. We would need to start a candidate pool and you know pre-screen some candidates so we can jump quickly if that does. We're tracking I'm I'm I'm tracking enrollment daily. I'm going to report out to cabinet probably twice a week on it to see how those kindergarteners materialize. It It's daily. >>
019Yeah. >> Marshall gets a question every day from me. >> How many kindergarters do we have today, Marshall? He's like every day. >> I guess the question I mean I've got a couple of teachers in my family and so basically what they've I guess districts do pools, right? And so they they've they've been, you know, if we have availability of the in these five districts, right? We're going to give you a call. So essentially they're just waiting for someone to call and say hey we want to you know you have an opportunity. Are we doing that like deeply like interviewing people now and putting them in a pool so that >> so um we have a few uh leave needs this fall for people taking lead in first years. So, we've been interviewing with Rodora
020and we have been looking at those applicants in a way of could they could they fill a long-term we can't offer them anything yet, but we are interviewing people for those positions. They're hiring the short-term need for those leaves, but also keeping an eye out for great people. We are getting a lot of applicants for open positions. So, we've been screening them and really picking the best in those um through our screening process to have them interview. >> Okay. >> I think if our demographic report is even 80% accurate, we're going to be at one of those rare districts that is growing significantly over the next five to seven years. And you know, we're going to have those other kinds of problems where it's not we have space. How do we make classrooms available for
021how how do we find enough quality teachers? You know, I think that's going to be it's not a bad problem to have, but it's a different problem than we're used to having. >> Okay. Well, for me, this is a good news report and I appreciate all the work that the administration you've done to, you know, show us how well the district is managing money that our fund balance is actually increasing. Um, listening to the news lately over the last four weeks as school districts are reporting to their boards um, deficits that they weren't anticipating. I just heard one recently just south of us with the $12 million deficit. So, this is good news reporting and um again, I really do appreciate what we're doing. Um I know there's more to come. I know that we,
022you know, the and I and I I keep plugging this, but um doing some different configurations with our elementary schools, I think, is is there are there is money savings there. I think we identified that there's money in transportation savings there right away. there are ways of of of that to me and I'm I'm you know I sit up here once a month or or so twice a month um it's pretty easy for me to say that uh reconfiguring the elementary schools to me is a low hanging fruit so it's still there and I think there's there's quite a bit of money savings in that so but I do again going back too. I appreciate what we've got here. This is We've been doing some really strong work for I think I'm 33 years on
023the board now. And uh I can recall that 1.5% fund balance and the idea that the next year wasn't going to be so good and the emotions of the board. Um, and and you know, with with regard to what was going on, I could see why the board members were very emotional about the fund our our expenditures continually going up with our our income not. And I I just love the trend here. I mean, we're doing the right things. So, thank you. >> Well said, Director K. Yeah, I will just bang the drum for a second time too of I mean it's no different from your your home, right? If you would if you were banking on, you know, a Christmas bonus each year to cover X, Y, or Z within your household and all
024of a sudden that debt will show up, right? That's the federal funding right now, right? We don't know if we're getting that Christmas bonus. And if we didn't last year, we'd be in the hold right now. And so I again I understand it's a lot of money but districts cost a lot of money to run. Um so I I will cross my fingers on the federal side of the house and uh we will we will see where that all goes. But really appreciate you putting this together for us. >> Thanks. >> Anything else? >> Good. >> Okay. Uh and we will Oh, wait. We do have scratch that 2C. Uh, is there any public comment on this session? No. Okay. Well, then we will close the special meeting here at 5:55. We will return at
0256 o'clock for the regular board meeting. Okay, it is 6 o'clock. Welcome to the July 23rd regular board meeting. Um, we will begin here with the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. Over to Superintendent Gland for the land acknowledgement. There we go. >> All right. We honor the first peoples of these lands by acknowledging that the area in which we gather is within the traditional territory of the Stilogamish tribe of Indians. The Still Gamish people have inhabited these lands and waters since time in memorial and their descendants have remained in this territory to this day. The Stilgish people have continued to practice the
026traditional ways of their ancestors of fishing, hunting, and gathering. The Still the Still Gormish tribe has had these lands and cultural traditions passed on to them by their ancestors who believed that everything has a spirit and they are the caretakers of these lands and waters. >> Thank you. And then tonight in attendance, we have Director Dayne, Director Kerry, myself, Director Leoo, Superintendent Gein. Uh, I'd like to make a motion that we uh excuse Director Concincaid and Director Gaulner tonight. >> Second. >> Okay. Motion's been made in second. All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. Uh, now to 4A board comments. We'll start down with you, Director B. >> Um, thank >> just hope that everybody's enjoying their summer and um preparing to um come back to an exciting school year we have coming up. Yeah,
027it's all about enjoy the summer right now. Enjoy your time away. >> Um, uh, I, uh, well, I guess let me start with the legislative side of things. So, obviously, um, they're not in session right now. There's still a lot of conversation about things that um are potentially going to be um supported by WASDA uh on behalf of school districts starting um next session. Um really no need to get into the super details of that, but um uh there's still a lot of push, there's still a lot of areas of school funding related to Washington state schools that are that still haven't been fixed and still need some attention. Transportation being one of them. Um still the rising costs of of insurance and and operating costs and stuff like that. So, um, thank you to
028our legislators here in the 39th for all the work they've done and a plug for them to continue pushing that ball forward. So, there's there's my legislative update. Um, uh, second, just personal, I uh um I I I love this time of year in this community. There is nothing I love more. I I drive across the South Fork of the Stilly to get home. Been looking down and it's 78 degrees and you see a hundred people swimming in the river, right? And the river has got to be 50 something degrees or something like that. But that is summertime for us. And I I see neighbors walking around that I haven't seen in a long time. I I see kids walking around that that I've never met. It's it's a really cool time. It's it's some
029of my favorite time to live in this community and helps me remember um some of the things I love most about it. Um uh I I've had a lot of conversations with you know various people in our community um related to you know the growth the growth the growth that we're going to lose the heart of what this community is and I find that interesting because I guess I would define the things that I love about Granite Falls would likely be very different than the things that you director do love and director Dane who's been here his whole life that you love but there's all facets of it and one of the things that I say commonly is that you know growth is a good And as granite gets bigger, um things continue to get
030better for everybody. Um and that, you know, we as a school district are making our doing our due diligence, make sure that we plan for it. Our leaders and and city hall are going to make sure they they plan for it. But I I I don't share the trepidation. I I have a supreme excitement about kind of what's on the on the um what's what is coming for us as a community um and you know one day driving across the South Fork Still and seeing 200 people down there enjoying it and stuff like that. So um I just want to encourage everyone to you know uh enjoy this time of year and to you know move forward to operate from a place of of um of happiness rather than a place of fear which is
031kind of always the way I've lived my life. So there there's my little plug there. >> Right. I appreciate it. Um, I'll start off with I think I maybe mentioned this last time, but it's always a summertime uh reminder of uh summer's fun. Everybody have fun. Try your best to not let everything that you learn through the year slip across these two months uh that you're not in the classroom. Um, you know, find joy in reading and, you know, iPads have many wonderful apps and stuff now to make math fun and all that good stuff. um helps everybody start off on the right foot. Um another thing that I always plug is just the uh the willingness to sit down and have a discussion. Uh you know, again, email is on uh the the school's
032website. It's plexgalls.wednet.edu. You know, happy to happy to meet up and because I know there's always within the district, there's always lots of questions of what's going on. Um, and and I love to hear any feedback, too. Um, so would always welcome that. And, uh, kind of tying on to Carl's point about, you know, what you love about Granite. And, man, I love Granite. And there has been, you know, sometimes you have to leave to understand what you have and to not take things for granted. Um, Dana will probably laugh because, uh, we had a a meeting last week. It was supposed to be in person, but I had to be on the phone because I had to end up going to New York for work. And man, nothing makes you want to be at
033Granite more than being in New York City in July. It was hot. It was humid. Anybody that's been there knows that New York has a unique smell. >> It's Man, you get here and just it's fresh, clean mountain air. that Saturday I went out for a hike up on Perry Creek Trail. Um it's just it's the reason why I'm out here. It's the reason why um get as far away from the hustle and bustle that you possibly can. And there's no place more hustler or bustier than New York City. Um we I think myself and the greater population of the earth have a grossly different definition of what the city of opportunity is. Um but anyway, so all that to say is I absolutely I cherish, you know, being within this community. Um and you
034know, it's just reminders like that that you know, it's home, right, and to come back here. So, um yeah, I'll I'll leave it at that. Um okay, moving on to 5A, the superintendent report presented by Dana Gel. >> All right, thank you, Corey. All right. First of all, I'd like to announce that uh Brandon Muller is our new AL manager and he comes to us with a wealth of experience. Um a large multilingual background which is really exciting. As we talked um we had a meeting prior to this and talked about a demographic report and um really excited to have him and all the experience that he brings. He's been um an educator for over 25 years. Um was most recently in Mary'sville, large work in MTSS and AL programs. um but his doctoral focus
035is on restorative practices and we got we had a nice conversation around some of his work around around that and what he's found um to be true and not true and what works and all of those things and so really excited to have him join us on August 1st uh summer I think I'm not too All right um some just some updates um of course you know when when we're out for the summer we take care of some of the big the big jobs around the district and so thank you to our custodial team which works as a team and goes building to building over the summer and our maintenance team and our facilities team and Marshall who um tries to keep everybody in line. So, some of the things that are happening right now,
036the deep cleaning, deep shampooing of all the carpets, the floor maintenance, the stripping and waxing as you can see in the floor out here, it looks gorgeous. Um as long as we don't step in it, that might have happened last week. Um with gym floors um stripped and resurfaced and and those kind of things, they look great. Uh, fire systems are being tested. They were actually out today. They'll be out a few times in the next few weeks. Um, interior painting. Um, just touching up and and and really making things look clean. I know we we painted here at the district office that hadn't been painted in maybe 25 years or so. So, that was last summer. And, you know, we're we're doing some big painting down in Crossroads and some other places. Uh, just,
037you know, it's a lot of wear and tear and a lot of bodies going through. So, we want to make sure that we can take care of that a little bit. I talked about this before, I believe, the LED lighting on all the outside um light fixtures. Um some plumbing repairs, the water stations and stadium plumbing. I know we had an issue at graduation where we didn't have water um faucets and water filling stations working. So, those are being repaired. That big project that the board approved, thank you for this. Um the sighting repairs at Granite Falls High School. Um, if you do stop by, I was there just yesterday kind of looking at all the work and it's been replaced and so the next thing is, you know, the like Marshall called it, kind
038of the tedious work of the painting of the poles and the painting and and the pressure washing and those kind of things, but it looks really nice. We had a lot of just pieces chipping off and brittle from that water retention that was in there. The playground repairs um at Mountain Way and Principal uh Dea Cruz is here, so I know she's probably glad to get that wrapped up. Um it should be done by next week and then some pest control. Um also at Mountain Way. Um it will be closed this weekend. Um so we encourage everyone and there'll be signage and things but no one on there. I want to be really clear that the yellow jackets, the ground yellow jackets are not helpful. They're not a helpful insect. They are a non-pollinator. And
039so if we were concerned that maybe something's not going to get pollinated by helping them move to a different location, that is not the case. We just want them not to be where our children are. >> Actually, yellow jackets are um harmful to pollinating honeybees and stuff. >> That too, Director Car. They are. They're >> more, you know, >> they're not helpful, right? All in all, yes. Um, a couple of things on the kitchens at uh Granite Falls Middle School and Granite Falls High School. We talked about this a little bit, but there were some industrial grade grade stoves and ovens. um many thousands of dollars worth worth purchased six or seven years ago. They were located and we are installing them in our two culinary kitchens. So, we're super excited about that. We also
040had Granite Falls High School um the the kitchen the culinary kitchen there um really really had um some lack of cleaning and um things. And a huge thank you to our custodial crew. We have spent um lots of extra hours. We had to do some some deep cleaning um so that it can be ready for student use. uh in the next in the fall and um Colleen Mace will be between those two schools and she is very organized and does a very nice job. So, we're excited to have her in those two spaces managing that. But again, that huge thank you to our custodial maintenance and facilities teams. They they work really hard over the summer um to get our schools, you know, bright and shiny and ready to go for our kids. And the
041Oops, one. Sorry, my my screen's on a different one. Um, so there'll be a little campaign and I haven't even talked to Paris about this, but it's going to be great. In August, we're going to do um a social media um outreach just to did you know some things about our district like how many meals we provide over the course of a year and how many miles I know our buses drive safely and get kids, you know, to and from sporting events and those kind of things. How many student athletes, you know, get to engage in those extracurricular activities. the research is very clear on extracurriculars and you know our sports at Granite Falls High School are open to all of the students that are at Crossroads too. So it just is it's it's a
042it's a compilation of of all both schools and and all kids can participate in those um all the different sporting teams and our newest addition of course we've talked about it before the boys golf program and just the huge outpouring from the community to really fund that whole thing um in kind and with lots of donations. So, lots of lots of kids were interested. They had the meeting and I think there was 18 athletes at that meeting, Mr. Bancini said, with three saying, "Oh my gosh, I can't make it, but I'll be there in the fall." So, anytime you have that much interest, you want to offer that for kids to keep them engaged. Um, you know, and then talking about the did you know on our our tiger cabinet that we launched this year
043representing our students in grades 3 through 12 and giving them a voice and that engagement that they had with our um our politicians that came out and visited um our CTE offerings. You get the idea. But through the month of August, we'll just kind of do some outreach. We're going we're going to be running a levy. We want people to know all the wonderful things that are happening in the system and um how many people are working really really hard to meet the needs of of our students and families. And then coming up, we have a number of things coming up. I know we're working on the website. Um that's still that's still happening. Our director, our supervisor of transportation is currently serving on a federal jury in Seattle. So he will be out for
044a few days. Hopefully not very many. Um and then we have a schoolboard work session on Friday um from 9:00 to 3. That'll be right here at the district office. Um, Show and Shine is August 2nd and that is a really cool event downtown. I went to that last year. Um, the National Night Out is coming up on August 5th. I'm hearing rumors of a helicopter landing and taking off. Um, fall sports if we have some interest in those. Please check out your school's website and get that physical scheduled and all those things so you can be ready to go. Um, our back to school fair is August 19th, 4 to 6.
