005that being said, we will now go on to the Pledge of Allegiance. We normally call upon Joe, but tonight we have a special guest, former Superintendent Tim Baird, who will lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you, sir. Thank you, David. And now your arm. 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, Tim. All right. And next we'll go to IT&E, superintendents, communications and good news. All right. Tomorrow is the last day of school and I could not be more proud of our staff, students and our community for their work to make this year so successful. Our district vision is to ignite the limitless potential of all learners and
006it's really a privilege to watch our entire community rise to that challenge. The last few weeks of the year have been packed with events, final projects, recognitions, performances, and I'd like just to highlight a few. One of the most joyful events I get to attend each year is the reclassification ceremony organized by our Ed Services Department. This year, we were able to celebrate 45 remarkable students who have officially been reclassified from their status of emerging bilingual to English proficient. This is a huge milestone that reflects years of perseverance and dedication, as well as the unwavering support of their families and their teachers. It was heartwarming to see how many people filled the entire auditorium of Ocean Knoll, and that included families and teachers and support staff. Our student filmmakers shined last week at our 10th
007annual Film Guild Awards, where more than 100 student-centered films were submitted. Film Guild continues to grow and remains a beloved program by hundreds of students throughout the district. Not only do they learn real-world cinematography skills, but they learn to use their voice and creativity through storytelling. I love getting to see their work on the big screen. And I want to congratulate Heather Montgomery and all of our Field Guild mentors for another successful year. I was also able to attend a number of our EUSD choir performances at a few of our schools. The tagline for our school choir program is joy in every note. And wow, is that fitting. I love any opportunity I get to see these performances because I leave feeling so uplifted. The thoughtful song choices, the student voices, the positive energy is
008always so joyful. Thank you to our wonderful choir leads and assistants for using their time and talents to create meaningful opportunities for students to share music. I'd also like to congratulate our outgoing sixth graders. I'm looking forward to celebrating them at tomorrow's promotion ceremonies. And it's fitting because I remember as I began as superintendent, these are the students who were kindergartners. We've gone through these seven years together. And so I've been able to see some of them from the very beginning. And it's hard to believe that now they're moving on to middle school. But it's amazing to see how far they've come. Although we will miss them, I'm confident that USD has prepared them for what's next. Finally, it's going to be a very busy summer around here. USD is prepping for the next school
009year, as well as, of course, the reconstruction of Pawlicki Central. We also have a number of very important summer programs that are later this month, including our English Language Learner Academy and our Special Education's Extended School Year Program. And it's always fun in August, we get to hear about the success of those programs. So we'll be bringing that back to our board meeting then. And we always invite our board members to attend those programs during the summer to be able to see and experience what our students have. have happening. And then finally, thank you to our students, our staff and our families and our board members for a phenomenal year. I wish everyone a very fun, safe and well-deserved summer break. And I look forward to seeing everybody back on the first day of school,
010August 11th. We'll be here before we know it. Thank you. Thank you, Andrea. All right. Now on to item F, approval of agenda. Are there any questions? No. Is there a motion to approve the agenda? I move to approve the agenda. I second. It's been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. I'm going to just stop and thank you two in advance. We're going to be at this all night. It will be the Monica Marlin show. So I don't know how you're going to work it out, but I know you two will work it out. But I think we'll just thank you in advance for all the work you're about to do. All right. Item G, approval of minutes. Regular meeting of May 19th, 2026 and special meeting of May
01126th, 2026. Any questions? Nope. Marlin, is there a motion? Of course there is a motion. I have a motion to approve the A minute of meetings from May 19th and May 26th. A second. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morrison? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. All right, now we're up to item five, board superintendent communications. Can we start at the end? Sure. It's been a really quick month. And so lots of things have happened. But mostly for me, my daughter's graduating from sixth grade. She's been here since first grade. So that's super exciting. And we have a graduation tomorrow. That's true. Are you going to be up on stage? No, I'll be saying that. That'd be weird. Make it weird. Well, to echo what Monica said, well, I don't have anybody graduating
012right now, so pretty stoked about that. But I do look forward to going to Flor Vista tomorrow to look at Arlene and her crew and all those wonderful kids. My girls being the ages that they are now, I think there are about three kids that I know at Flor Vista now. So it's still always fun to go there and, you know, watch that moment and know what it was like when Isla and Loris came through and, you know, to be able to, you know, kind of see that again. It's always cool. And I just hope everyone has a great and safe summer. I can't wait to see everybody back on campus August 11th. I mean, same deal. Mind of Promoted Out. But I was thinking about the 12 years I was reflecting on this, with
013all the things we went to, including the multilingual learner reclassification ceremonies and things, I was thinking about, I got on the board because... of what the district had done for my family and my kids and served us for 12 years and been so good to us that I wanted to give back and give back to the district and serve the district, which I've done for the last three years. And it's been a highlight. But attending all the ceremonies, so there was Film Guild, BioLiteracy Awards, we had Multilingual Learning, we had Classics Games, the Choir, the Employees and Retirees of the Year. And you start seeing what the staff, like you realise it wasn't just our family, like our staff and this community does it for every kid and every family across the board. So it
014was really cool to reflect on that. And I'm doing a very bad job of explaining this, but... It did hit me, Jess. That's what we do is we show up for all the individuals and we work our staff deals for all our kids and our families. It is remarkable. And it can be in lots of different ways, whether it's multilingual learners or film guild and learning and finding their way to tell their stories or whatever it is. You know, kids can find a place to belong in this district and there are staff and adults that are helping them learn to be who they want to be. So I'm just very appreciative of that. It was really good. It was really good. And then to echo again, safe summer and see everyone back in August. All
015of that. So now on to item six, public comment. We didn't have any blue cards. Shall I still read it? Or do we feel like we've done it at the start? All right, so on to item seven, action items. Yes, we don't have any school presentations tonight, so it is all action tonight. It will be action-packed, the Monica and Martin show. So we'll start with item A, Measure Z Citizens Bond Oversight Committee Annual Report. And we have Andre and Jason to present. Oh, Joe to present. Yeah, well, actually, we have Jason Boor here tonight. He is the chairperson of the Citizens Bond. Oversight Committee to discuss their annual review. And I also have a couple other members. Vince Constacos is here, Jillian Cocaine, and also obviously the former superintendent, Tim Baird is here as part
016of the subcommittee. And Jason's going to do the report for you. All right. Good evening. So as Joe said, I'm the chair of the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee. So the committee has submitted our annual report for the 25-26 fiscal year. where we confirmed full compliance for the 158 million Measure Z bond program. Following the $60 million Series A bond sale in May of 2025, the program allocator expended $6.6 million through Q1 of 26. Recent milestones include completing projects across four district sites and a major development project planned and ready for execution at Paul Leakey Central. The independent audit by Christy White yielded zero noncompliance findings. This aligns with the committee's own professional view, which commends both the fiscal stewardship of the bond funds and the highly professional approach taken for the upcoming development project. You
017can find additional information regarding these milestones in a full report that has been provided to you. If there's no additional questions, this concludes our report. Thanks, Jason. Any questions? No, I think, but we'll just thank you all for your service and what you continue to do is really important. So thank you for that. We really appreciate all the expertise on that committee. Thank you. And kudos to staff for the incredible work you all do as well, making sure that we're doing things correctly and above all. Very good. All right. So we need a motion to accept the annual report from the Citizens' Oversight Committee. Is there a motion? I move to accept it. I second. All right. It's been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Very good. All right.
018Item 7B. Thank you all. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, you're welcome to stay, but you're definitely not going to. Yeah, thank you. All right. Item B, approval of local control accountability plan annual update. Do you have anything to add? I just want to share that there is a few minor revisions we made based on feedback from the San Diego County Office of Education, but no changes to our goals or action items or any metrics. Any questions? No. Is there a motion? Move to approve the 2026 LCAP plan. I second it. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Very good. Item 7C, approval of LCAP federal addendum, every student succeeds at. Do we need a comment on that? No. Any questions? Is there a motion? I move to accept
019it. I second. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Very good. All right. Item 7D, 2026-2027 budget presentation and adoption. Actually, Joe does have a few slides on this. Okay. Yes, thank you. This is going to be a very quick presentation. This is the second. Are you sure there's any changes to what I presented on the board in the past? And as of now? I don't know. I did hit it. It just didn't. Do you want me to start over again on that one? Okay, thank you. I'm here to present the second budget read. This is if there was any changes from the first read that we presented last month. And as you can see on this slide, there are no changes in revenue or expenses. for
020the first re-budget that we're proposing to the board. The only thing I just wanna add is just a quick summary of what the revenue and expenses are planned at this point. And again, it'll change at first interim next fall. And then to also include our other funds besides the general fund. So just two quick slides here. And this slide that I have, I'm sorry, I didn't even get up. I'm just all- No, you're good, Joe. Wow, it's only two slides and I apologize. Wow. Okay, this is the revenue and expenses that we already proposed to the board for next year. The revenues of 88.7 million and expenses of 89.6 with transfers out from the general fund into other funds of 800,000. That gives us a surplus or deficit of 1.7 million. Again, that is a
021deficit because of the fact that combining the unrestricted and restricted amounts. If we were to only focus on the unrestricted restricted only, it would be positive $792,000. And then on our other funds, as we move on, besides our general fund, you see our Child Nutrition Services Fund revenues on the top end and expenses on the bottom. All the funds combined into one sheet here, and that's a lot, but it's just a budget of $3.4 million of revenue coming in on Child Nutrition Services and expenses in that same amount going out. It's just a proposed budget. If you go over to Measure Z, you see on the third fund, fund 21, Measure Z, that's our bond fund. If we have a million dollars in interest, that will be coming in at that point. And then our
022expenditures that are planned for next fall, we do plan on going out for our second series B sale, probably January of 2027, just so the board is all aware of that. But we'll keep you posted in the fall. And this just has all our other funds, such as our capital facilities, which is our developer fees, revenues anticipated and expenses out, and fund 40 and et cetera. But other than that, I do have the other presentation underneath this, but there are no major changes in revenue and expenses for the general fund. Thanks, Jim. Any questions? Is there a motion to approve, adopt the proposed budget? I move to adopt it. I second. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Very good. All right. Item 7E, approval of Resolution
02323-2526 regarding density to the Union School District Proposition 30, Education Protection Account Funds. Yes, this is the report every year that we provide the board of what we've received in EPA funds, which is $848,000 and what our planned expense is. And we always put that towards education, which is Instruction Object Code 1000, which is for our teachers. Any questions? Is there a motion? I move to adopt resolution 232526 regarding the EUSD Prop 30 EPA funds. Seconded. It's been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7F, receive public disclosures of proposed collective bargaining agreement AB 1200, Statutes 1991, Chapter 1213, and GC 3547.5. Approve the tentative agreement between TOE and the USD and approve amended salary schedules for employee group certificated. And I'll share with the board, these next few
024items are all related. Each year, our governing board does a board workshop and we had our budget workshop in early February. And we spend time looking at our proposed revenues for the next year and we look at board priorities. In that time, the board established several priorities in terms of supporting our class sizes, Lowering those as we can, supporting, reducing the number of combination classes, looking at our health and welfare benefits, moving some of our instructional assistants to full-time status so that they would also have benefits. And then, of course, making sure that there was a compensation that was comparable. And so when we worked with our different employee groups in negotiations and were able to reach tentative settlements with all of our employees, We continue to have a very collaborative relationship. And they also
025had the same board presentation. And so they could also see the funds that were being allocated and how those were being spent. And from there, all employee groups agreed upon a 3% salary increase beginning July 1. We do negotiate for the year ahead, not behind, which I'm pleased that we've been able to do that. It really helps us have a clear idea of our finances. And then additionally, we recognize the rising cost of health care. And in each of our employee groups, we added $1,000 to the district contribution to make that $13,000 per employee. And so the next items all represent that. Additionally, each of the contracts may have one or two specific items related to their agreement. The first one with the teachers of Encinitas, we did remove an article that was outdated and
026that was through joint discussion and agreement. So this is the first of the three items. Thank you, Angie. All right. So any questions? Is there a motion? I'm F. So moved. Yes. I was trying to figure out how to tackle that one. Yes. Moved or approved the collective bargaining agreement with the teachers of Encinitas. I second it. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. All right, we're on to 7G. So receive public disclosures of proposed collective bargaining agreement AB 1200, statutes 1991, chapter 1213, and GC 3547.5, approve tentative agreement between CSEA and its co-chapter number 493 and EUSD, and approve amended salary schedules for classified employees. This is with our classifieds. We did have a separate agreement that you approved last month that had to do with
027the increase of hours to have our IAs with 29 hours become 30 hours and add. So those were done separately, but all in the guise of negotiations. So any questions? Is there a motion? Move to approve it. A second. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7H, receive public disclosures of proposed collective bargaining agreement AB 1200, statutes 1991, chapter 1213 and GC 3547.5 and approve amended salary schedules for unrepresented employee groups, certificated and classified management and confidential employees. We have one management schedule that includes all of our managers, both classified and certificate. It also has our assistant superintendents on that salary schedule. And then we have a separate salary schedule that is our confidential employees. Those are executive assistants or public information officer. And so those
028are also the unrepresented group, both management and confidential. So we would like to recommend the board approve this salary schedule, same 3%. on the benefits. Yeah. Thank you. Is there any questions? Is there a motion? Move to approve the amended salary schedule. Second it. All right. It's been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7I, approval of renewal of the assistant superintendent employment contracts for the 2026-2027 school year. So we've just approved the agreements with all of our employee groups that are. that really keep us going. So all of our teachers, staff members, we are very fortunate to have such high-color people working, but it's also equally important to have high-quality leaders that are supporting all of the operations of our district. I have the pleasure of working with
029four very talented Executive Cabinet members. Maria Waskin is our Executive Director, and then we have our three Assistant Superintendents, Joe Doherty, Amy Illingworth and Helica Lopez, all of them do a phenomenal job. And I am very proud to say that it is unheard of to have an executive team work together for seven years. And so we have been together. since I started. And the stability and longevity of having people in the role allows us to know our people, allows us to do great work and understand the direction that we're headed and allows us to be all working for the same goals. And I am confident in the work that these three do. And I would absolutely recommend that we approve the extension of their contracts. All right. Any questions? No. So I'm going to make
030a couple of comments because you guys are awesome. All right. Two things. So one is if you've ever seen Bruce Springsteen's Broadway show, he talks about the magic of the E Street Band. And so my analogy is going to be Andre is Bruce Springsteen and you're the E Street Band. And he says there's this special magic with some groups where normally one and one is two. when you get a certain group of people together, like the magic happens and then one-on-one becomes three and that's the magic. And so you guys, one-on-one is three because you all just, as the sum of your parts, you know, the whole is more than the sum of the parts. And I tell people all the time, you can go your whole career and not get to work with a
031team this good. And so one of the privileges of the last few years has been getting to work with a team that's this good. And it is... It's not just words. It's like you guys are amazing. And you just bring it every time. So I know we're very appreciative and the board has the utmost confidence in what you do and it matters all. So thank you. All right. Isra Mush. I, yes, motion to approve renewal of employment contracts for, you know, this incredible team, the assistant superintendent, admin services, business services, and ed services for 26-27. I second it. Very good. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7J, approval of updated noon supervisor job description and, yeah, it feels like it should be noon duty, but
032noon supervisor job description and new lead noon supervisor job description. Yes, as you all know, we always are reviewing and making sure that all of our sites are well taken care of for the safety of our students. And so we did a study this year to see if there was a need to add a position that would help facilitate conversations and training and information between admin, the district and the site. And so after looking at the district structures and talking to the principals and discussing the needs, it was decided that We would add additional support staff to some of the sites based on the layout of the school, based on the enrollment. And in addition to that, we will then create a position where one of the noon supervisors would be identified as the lead
033to be able to continue to facilitate. how do we best continue to support students every day out in the playground. You know when there is no structure, you need supervision to make sure that things are going well for the safety of our students. So that's the reason for bringing those two. And we felt it was time to update the supervisor positions. Yeah, it's an important job. They're important. We appreciate it. Any other questions? No, it's our motion. I move to approve. I second. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7K, approval of MOU between EUSD and CSEA and its Code Chapter No. 493, Before and After School Student Supervisors for the 2026-2027 school year. Do we need a presentation? No, this is just to support the
034Palaiki Central, the relocation between the ECC and Parkdale Lane so that we can allow families that have children at both sites to drop off earlier. No, we appreciate you thinking through that. Any questions? Is there a motion? Motion to approve. I second it. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7L, approval of MOU between EUSD and CSEA, and its co-chapter number 493, bilingual stipend for district accountants. Any questions? All right, here's my motion. Move to approve this stipend. I second. All right. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. All right. Item 7M, approval of MOU between EUSD and CSEA and its co-chapter number 493, contracting of IASC positions. We've done this in multiple years, and this is in
035the event that our IA positions aren't filled. We have a process by which we work to fill them with permanent employees. However, if in the case that we are not able to fill those positions, we are able to use agency people with a specific reporting and process that we use that allows our employee or co-chapter to. be aware of agency people working in those positions. Cool. Any questions? I'm just curious about how many people do we have that? Great question. Maria, I'll let you answer that. Oh, okay. There was a time when that was many more, and we have been working consistently to reduce those numbers, and we're hopeful that also moving the number of classified positions into benefited positions, as well as the work we did last year. But it's what we can staff
036it if we need to. So are there job postings up kind of all the time for this? Consistently. Yeah. Have you changed it to reflect the new hours? Benefits? So that's one of the reasons. No, I'm talking tonight, huh? No, great question, though. So last month when you approved it, it did allow us to put it with benefits. And then what we generally do is note that there could be a change in the salary schedule or sometimes we'll put pending board approval, additional 3%. But we definitely wanted to get ahead of the hiring. So that's one of the reasons why we had that on last time's agenda. Any other questions? Is there a motion? Motion to approve the MOU regarding the use of contracted employees for vacant IASC positions. And a second? Oh, sorry. Yes,
037I second that. Is it moved and seconded? It's really disorienting. I warned you, it's going to be, yeah. You're doing great. You're doing great. We're halfway. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. All right, item 7N, award of RFP number B-2309 for transportation for individual special education students for EUSD. Any questions? No. Is there a motion? I move to approve the contract. I second. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. How short that is is throwing me off two legs. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Item seven. Oh, award of RFP number two, three, one, zero for DSA approved laboratory of records services for the Paul Ecke central modernization project. Do we, yeah, any questions on this? What's a laboratory? Okay. This lab of records is required
038for the Pahlicki construction, and it's a firm that does all the material testing, any of the components that go into the new construction. They do material testing and on-site inspections at their facilities, which does include out-of-state travel for them for some of the materials that are being produced. And they do report that to the DSA. So it's kind of a lengthy. requirement that is necessary to assure that the materials are made correctly along the way. Did that answer your question, Martin? That did. Any other questions? No. Is there a motion? I motion to approve the award of RFP number B2310. I second it. Okay. It's been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7P, resolution 24-2526, authorizing cooperative purchasing agreements and piggyback contracts for FFE, which is furniture, fixtures,
039and equipment, for Paul Leckie Central Modernization. Any questions? No. Is there a motion? I move to approve the resolution. I second. All right. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7Q, bus transportation agreement with San Marcos Unified School District regarding Port Lakey Central. Do we have any questions? No? Okay, is there a motion? Motion to approve bus transportation agreement with San Marcos Unified. We second it. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7R, change order number 6 with SWS Engineering for Pawlake East Central. Any questions? No? Is there a motion? I move to approve the change order. I second. All right, it's been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. All right,
040item 7S, renewal of agreement with all city management services, 11 crossing guards for 2026-2027. I can help a little bit. So this is our contract with All City Management for our crossing guards. They have been providing a service for a number of years. do the hiring, the training, and the evaluating of the employees. And currently, we have 11 crossing guards that they support. We generally have this as a 50% funded or reimbursement from the city. And we do have an opportunity in our contract that if we need less crossing guards, we're able to remove crossing guards. anytime given the circumstances. We are being very flexible in terms of planning for Pawlaki Central and even just most recently as of Friday, we informed families that bus stops may be changing and we're going to recognize that
041traffic patterns and the patterns of families in general may adjust, including how many stops we may need and based on the time that people have to get up, how many students will actually continue to ride the buses. So we want to be nimble and being able to do that. That being said, we want to be adequately staffed no matter what. And so we are bringing forth the 11 and we are prepared, you know, obviously to make sure that we have those in place at the beginning of the school year. And then should we need to remove those are those are conversations we have with city as well so that they're understanding the rationale between and have input on that. Likewise, all of our crossing guards have gone through the approval process through our city liaison
042meetings. And in order to add a crossing guard, it can be brought up by a community member, a staff member, or city. And we've had all of the above happen. And the city liaison committee can discuss those. However, the final approval happens when City staff, as well as the sheriff, as well as site personnel, Eric Smith, generally a director of facilities and safety, do on-site review, as well as the traffic. And then they may at that time agree that this is a place, and we certainly rely on their expertise, that this is a place for a crossing guard, or maybe there's other mitigation strategies that are necessary to um insure safety and so uh we are asking the board to approve this i do know that the um city will also be reviewing this on
043june 24th as well cool yeah so just be clear we're making sure the crossing guards are there yes and then we'll work with our partners at the city too or is this amount split with the city yes they reimburse us for half okay yes But if they choose not to, we're just going to do it in our cred. We would, but I am absolutely sure we're all on the same page that they need to have crossing guards. Yeah, but crossing guards will be there. Yes, exactly. We've had their support in this program since 2021, I think. And Carlsbad funds the crossing guards 100%. And since 2021, we've appreciated the partnership with the city to fund 50%. How many crossing guards do we have through Carlsbad? You know, like... Is it less or less, right? Yeah,
044I can get you that number. I don't have that. Yeah. But if you think about the ones, like, for example, that you see in front of Mission Estancia, in front of OPE. That's all Carlsbad? That is, as well as at El Camino Creek. And La Costa Heights. And then like sometimes I see one of our, I don't know, instructional aides out there. Is that like filling in or are they supporting you sometimes? They can. And we actually have another employee that we completely fund 100 percent. That is a school safety monitor is also our crossing guard at one site. But in general. principals are also crossing guards and a variety of people and sometimes uh having been a principal you'll get a call that is 10 minutes before school is out and they say that
045the crossing guard for whatever reason can't show up and then no matter what you go and take care of it okay yeah but but i would say um Using the agency, that has been really important to the stability of those positions because they're able to contract at a higher rate and they're able to pay people for more hours. And so we have the same people. It is very, for me, secure to know that when I cross certain crossroads, I see the same people waiting at me and our children are seeing the same friendly faces every single morning and every single afternoon. And that is because we work with an agency that's able to keep people in those positions. Was it the Flor Vista Spirit Assembly where the crossing guard got the biggest? Between the crossing
046guard and the custodian. And the noon duty supervisor as well. It's amazing. But those are important people that start our children's day. Yeah, they do. And they do it. And same with, anyway, yeah, it's really. So I'm confident that we'll continue our partnership with the state. very good okay is there any more questions no is there a motion i move to approve the renewal of that agreement i second all right it's been moved and seconded mr morton yes mr taylor yes mrs lee yes All right. Item 70, authorization of new agreements and renewal of annual contracts for 2026-2027 school year. So there's two parts to this. One is our annual agreements, and we usually give as many as we can at this point so that those subscriptions and agreements can continue as of July 1.
047Those are routine. And then the listing for June are other agreements that are not necessarily annual subscriptions, but ones that have been put on the agenda. All right. Any questions? There's no motion. I move to authorize or approve the authorization for new agreements and renewal of annual contracts for 26-27. I second it. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7U, agreement for architectural and engineering services with Runeau Clark Architects, RCA, RCA, Hartdale Main Campus Modernization. I'll let Joe just speak a little bit. Sure, yeah, and this is for next year now, so we're looking ahead with our Measure C bond funds. looking past the Pawlacki project once that gets up and started because we want to start construction on things next summer, summer of 27, but
048it takes a whole year to plan. So we have to start with the architect and get some basic designs and then submittal for DSA approval and then going out to bid. So that process does take over a year. And the two in a row, as you see, item U and item V, item U is what we're speaking of. It's the Parkdale Lane. And remember, we told the board. that we have an opportunity to save funds, district pay or tax money, by using those portables that are there now at Parkdale Lane that are being used to house Pawluckie Central students. We're going to keep those there and just roll into the Parkdale Lane construction. So we have a budget in mind of what is necessary at that school for modernization, and the architects works on sliding
049scales based on our proposed budget. So you'll see that in the two agenda items in a row. yeah and that's because we're working on classrooms right at the part of our lanes so everything is very very invented correct uh roofing uh excuse me yeah roofing hvac classroom spacing we do have to construct a small building because we need to expand the interior classrooms and in order to do that we have to create new exterior uh classrooms so yes it's all that thanks all right any questions no is there a motion I move to approve the agreement for architectural and engineering services. I second. All right. It's been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. All right. So item 7B, agreement for architectural and engineering services with RCA for ECC Preschool
050Project Campus. Yes, and along the same lines, and as we also informed the board that we recognize the cost saving opportunity for our taxpayers, where instead of constructing a new preschool building at Flora Vista, we're going to utilize some under. classroom space that's underutilized at El Camino Creek. We're going to totally take over a building and reconstruct it for our preschool. And this is the architectural services for that. So we'd like to get going on that next year. Yeah. And that's super exciting. It's very exciting. Any questions? I move to approve the agreement for architectural and engineering services. I second it. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 7W, acceptance of gifts. Is there any questions? No? Is there a motion? I move to approve the
051gifts. I second. It has been moved and seconded. Mr. Morton? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Item 8, consent items. Approval of the consent items 8B through the 8I. Any questions? Is there a motion? I move to approve the consent items 8B to 8I. Second. It has been moved and seconded. Mrs. Lee? Yes. Mr. Taylor? Yes. Mr. Morton? Yes. And there we have it. Good job, everyone.
