001also engaged in activities focused on preparing for the upcoming school year and shared meaningful conversations about the district goals towards continue continued as stabilization. We remain grateful for the partnership and voice of our families as we continue building strong systems and opportunities for all of our students. The annual Isaac School District Arts Festival was a tremendous success, growing more than 300 families on Saturday, May 2nd. And the campus IMS was filled with energy of students, families and staff that came together to celebrate talent, the amazing talent of our students, the skill, the creativity. Uh there was connection and community uh all at once. This long-standing event highlights the artistic growth and the hard work of our students throughout the school year and reflects the district's commitment to the arts education as a vital part of
002our students learning and expression. This year, our teachers from across the district, and I'm going to be naming them. Vanessa Madrid from Butler, uh Nina Matus from Esparansa, Anna Ria from IMS, Gabriella Cario from Mitchell, Victoria Sabo from MKU, uh Cindy Patinho from Sutton, Ashley Anguno from ZTO and Joe Famoso and Fatima Okum from PDS showcase more than 450 student centered drawings, paintings, ceramics, sculptures, Families also enjoyed the interactive make and take booths featuring activities such as origami and the Japanese friendship garden, tissue paper, flowers, tambourine making and painting techniques like water uh marbling, live performances coordinated by IMS's Dulce Escoar and Edwin Alcor added to the vibrant atmosphere that we experienced that day with 156 positive parents surveys, it's clear that our families cherish these opportunities and see their children's creativity celebrated. And we
003extend a huge thank you to the staff and the volunteers who made this beautiful day and connection possible. And thank you IMS for hosting us as well. Principal appreciation day. Uh we've had quite a bit of celebrations uh in in the past uh few weeks uh have provided opportunities to celebrate our staff and the critical role that our principles play. May 1st marked that principal appreciation day which is a time to recognize the visionary leaders who steer our schools towards excellence every single day. Our principles are the anchors of our campuses balances balancing complexities of administration and the profound responsibility of nurturing student success. While the day set aside for hormone recognition on May 1st, we want our leaders to know that their dedication is seen and valued every single day. They are the driving
004force behind our positive school co c cultures and we're deeply grateful for their commitment to the Isaac community. Last week we also celebrated National Teacher Appreciation Week honoring the incredible educators who serve as the backbone of our district. Our teachers do more than just instruct. They inspire and guide the learning for every child who walks through their door. It's their commitment. It's their skill and passion that transforms our vision for students into a reality. Thank you. Thank you for all that you do. In line with that, on May 6, we also observed national uh school nurse day to highlight the essential role our nurses play in student success. A student cannot learn if they are not healthy and feeling safe. and our nurses provide that critical frontline care with compassion and expertise. And I have
005to share that just yesterday, I got to be part of one of those moments that remind us of their vital work when Miss Marisa Agira, the nurse at Butler, handed a student who had been long waiting for his prescription glasses. The happiness in his face was unforgettable as he looked around and exclaimed, "I see that. I can read that." We even saw him later in uh in the day in the hallway and he was still reading. Thank you to our nurses for your contributions are vital to our district's mission. As part of our ongoing season of appreciation, we also acknowledge bus drivers day on April 28th. Our bus drivers are and the entire transportation department are the essential uh to our daily experiences for our students. They serve as the first and the last mile
006many of our students see each day. We extend our deepest gratitude for their dedication to safety, reliability, and connection. Ensuring that our students arrive at school ready to learn and return home safely. Our refugee community from Joseph Cedo and Pueblo recently had a night of connection and scholarly focus. There was a fantastic turnout with 31 adults and 51 children in attendance. While parents participated in enriched uh in informative sessions on educational resources, students were engaged in enriched academic activities. All families in attendance left with essential resources that included food bags and backpacks. Thank you to Miss Marcela Lopez, director of family and community engagement. Dennis Lton, executive director of teaching and learning for their vision and their collaboration of their teams and the schools. Thank you to Miss Caret not only for hosting but actively
007engaging with the families and the event. This event really epitomized our values of access and collaboration and we're incredibly proud to serve every family within the ISA community. Tonight I will also like to recognize our an outstanding achievement by the bank program at Morris K. UD. The program has been selected to receive a prestigious Dennis W. Smith program distinction award from the Arizona Band and Orchestra Directors Association. This recognition is awarded to programs that demonstrate sustained excellence in music education and performance, including earning superior ratings at regional and state competitions and achieving a notable student representation in all state ensemble. As part of this accomplishment, several UL students earned placement in the seventh and eighth grade all state band that included Zia Garcia, Patricia Mendoza, Ilan Lopez, Isaac Moran, Isabella Romero, and William Fasio. Congratulations
008to them. This honor, that honor reflects an extraordinary dedication of our students, the leadership and commitment of our music educators. Thank you, Mr. Monise, for tapping the talent of so many of our students, and the continued support of our families and school community. We are incredibly proud of MKU's program for representing our district with excellence. and we look forward to celebrating this achievement during an official award presentation at a band concert next school year. In connection to that, I also want to recognize the leadership of Mr. um Glay, principal of MKU, for his support of the success of the band program. His collaboration with Miss Enriquez is also um yielding great um visionary ideas. um their teams, Mr. Sandoval and Mr. Mun have sparked the creation of an inclusive musical pathway that begins in the
009early grades. We're already seeing the beginning of this vision with students from Miss Lee's class receiving violin lessons from Mr. Sandoval. And additionally, Mr. Sandoval and Mr. Monies are planning a future collaborative event to inspire the interest in the band program among future MKU students. This vision aims to cultivate mutual musical talent from kindergarten onward ensuring that our students have early access to music education. And that madame president concludes my report. Thank you very much. Next we have new business information discussion and action. First is approve of the Isaac Elementary School District number five fiscal year 2026 expenditure budget. Mr. James Servin, chief financial officer. Information, discussion, and action. Is there a motion? I'll move. Is there a second? Second. Any um questions, Mr. Jim? That anything else that you would like to say? No,
010Madam President. Okay. So, does the board have any questions? No. Okay. Call for the vote. Okay, motion carries. Next is May 2026 financial overview. Mr. Jim Servin, chief financial officer. Information and discussion. Mr. gym servant. Madame President, members of the board, community members that are here, uh this is a summary of our financial uh position as of April 30th. Um the first area that is reporting is budgets and expenditures through April 30th. And if you notice on the top line which is the very top line it says O1 maintenance and operation. It shows our budget it reflects our expenditures to date, our incumbrances which are purchase orders. Those are things we expect to pay in payroll accounts payable for supplies and so forth yet to come in. So, these are things that we've committed to
011and most of them will come through that where we have to pay them. And we have an uncommitted balance right now of $2 million. We expect that ending balance after other bills come in and adjustments, we expect to carry forward into next year uh approximately $1.5 million, which is a big turnaround from where we've been in the past. Um this is this is remarkable. It shows the the work that the administrators have done, the work of the teachers that have been done, the community and the governing board. So we are on track to um uh do better things even next year with everything. The other accounts are simply go through the different funds where we get our money, titled money, um uh classroom improvement, Medicaid, and so forth. Gifts and donations. Gifts and donations. right
012now is a good healthy um amount of $230,000. Down below, we also have uh u money in building renewal grants. We have been using the state school facilities division. So when we need major repairs on any of our equipment, we immediately get on it and apply for funding that provides us with at not our cost, but the state is funding new air conditioners, air conditioning repairs, light repairs, pipe, plumbing repairs, and so forth. And we have an excellent staff of people that are capable of doing a lot of that work inhouse rather than outsourcing it. It's a lot cheaper that way. We've done a great job of getting grant money. Um, again, this year has been a really strong year. Almost $5 million worth of state funding has gone to ISIC to fix things that
013we would have otherwise had to pay uh some other way. So, that's my presentation on the uh budgets and expenditures. Moving on to the cash balances, which is the next slide over. I'm pleased to announce that we are in a positive cash position as of April 30th with $7.8 million in the bank uh at the treasur's office. And uh that that's also a big turnaround from where we were a year ago in the district. And again, that's due to um the hard work of Mr. Kenny, the members of the board, the administration, and uh uh everyone involved in the process. Um we have uh kept our expenses in reasonable line with our with our budgets, and we are gaining ground ever so slowly as to um running smoothly and efficiently with lots of cash in
014the bank. And that ends my part of the presentation. Next, we'll talk about the grants and Dr. Aaron Harris will speak briefly on that as well. Mr. J, I'm sorry to interrupt. Slide four. Did Did you do slide four? Uh, slide four. Was that the That's next after the cash balances. You have that's the slide four is the um capital budget. And as you can see, this basically talks about where we are uh within that that amount of uh money. Again, the capital right now is is obviously highly stressed. There is no budget and obviously there is no cash in that account at this point in time. It will take a few years to get positive again as we um move through the process of um paying off the the loan and then um operational
015efficiencies. Uh that will eventually then and every year we receive about $2.5 million toward that deficit. Mr. Jim, can you uh please tell us what DAA and UCFO budget? What is it's called? district additional assistance and uh unrestricted capital is what those initials stand for. They've changed the name of the account so many times many years ago it was called soft capital and unrestricted capital. Now they just hide behind DAA which is a term that they started with charter schools and it's the state funding for our capital needs which has been greatly reduced um over the years. Okay. Thank you. I think our next slide was any questions. Does you guys have any questions for Mr. Jim before we go? Just on if we can go one slide back further than that one. Uh on
016the revenue expenditure slide. No, one more. All right. Right. So, Mr. Servin, the one thing and I think all of us have been experiencing this, but I wanted to point out that one of the the only one of the few negatives that we have in here is Medicaid, you know, and and it's uh what 225,320, you know, so I I always want to make sure that the community understands that those are things that are out of our control, that we really don't control that. Medicare is a very interesting account like grants and like school facilities division grants coming from the state. um for equipment and so forth. It is a reimbursement grant. So essentially that we put the money out, we pay salaries of people, we pay um certain expenses that are covered under Medicaid
017and then we put in for a billing and it all go a lot of this goes through third parties and eventually then the money comes back to us. So, at any given time, if we're doing things right, we usually will have a negative balance, but it's simply to say that the money is on the way, but we don't recognize it until we receive it. Okay. Yeah. just know that even in in the medical field, right, when you submit the the the fees for patients and what have you, they're typically in the rears when you get paid back on those, you know, but I just want to make sure we understood that, you know, that has something that has really nothing to do with where we're at today. It's just part of doing business. It's part
018of going doing business and it's also the budget is always moving every every day. the amount of the budget changes because once we recur a reimburseable expense in theory that money will eventually come back to us. We will bill it and it will be come back to the to the account. Okay. All right. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. And now any other questions? No. Thank you. Perfect. Dr. Harris. Thank you. Good evening madam president, members of the governing board, Dr. Dr. Messma, members of the Isaac community, this evening, I'll provide two grant updates. The first update here is from the on-site monitoring from the Arizona Department of Education that was conducted uh April 14th and April 15th. Uh we have successfully completed our monitoring. All monitoring requirements were accepted and approved by the Arizona Department
019of Education. And so the outstanding requirements that were presented to you uh during the last governing board meeting were approved by Arizona Department of Education. So we do not have any grant findings. We are in compliance with the FY26 on-site program monitoring. So thank you cabinet, Dr. Nessa Limma, district staff, site leaders, and site leadership teams for all of your insight that you provided into this monitoring process. Ad was very pleased with uh the meetings, the observations, and they look forward to the continued collaboration of monitoring, evaluating our programs and providing feedback as needed to strengthen our programs to ensure that all students receive a high quality, well-rounded education. And this uh picture is a copy of the monitoring form that the Arizona Department of Education used for each of the monitoring requirements. Thank you,
020Mrs. Oops. Okay. And next wanted to provide updates for our grant drawdowns. Uh the following drawdowns are presented. There were two drawdowns. Uh one April 23rd and the last uh May 12th. uh for a total of $1.5 million. The following grants uh that we uh inputed for draw downs are listed and there were two more drawdowns that were made on Tuesday for our school safety grant and our fresh fruit and vegetables grant. So in addition to the 1.5 million uh on Tuesday, we asked for an additional $16,71520. So, we are uh up to date with our grant drawdowns for the month of May. Does the board have any questions regarding monitoring or grant draw downs? Does the board have any questions? I do. Yes. Um, so we're done with the draw downs. No more or
021do we have more to go before? Yes, we still have more draw downs because the grants end well some end June 30th and then some end September 30th. So, we have money approved that we are spending that we have encumbered. We still have invoices that need to be paid and we will submit draw downs as frequent as Mr. Kenny's requesting bi-weekly. So, yeah. So, two two draw downs a month. We have to have them done before the end of the school fiscal year. Correct. I mean, we can through the whole year. Okay. Go ahead. Okay. We can Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Kenny. Uh, Madam President, we can request draw downs every month as long as there are expenditures to request draw downs for, but we have until September 30th when the grant period ends
022for all of our grants. And we can ask for a liquidation. We can ask for money uh within our completion report. So whatever we're not able to recoup to draw down during uh the school year and during the grant period, we can request during that period when the completion report opens October 1st. And then we have be this $ 1.5 uh million dollars that we have. We have to use it. We have are we going to have some money carried over after September 30th or that sort of Yes. So grants are drawn down after we spend them. So this money is reimbursement for money we've already spent. Okay. We can't draw down till we spend the money. So the money that he's talking about, we're up to date in everything we spent up through May
02312th, right? We have more encumbered than using the word encumbered means that we've we're planning on spending that money. We've encumbered it, spent and spent it. So as that gets spent, we do additional draw downs. So it's not like that money is free for us to use. We've already spent that money that we get back. We can't get it back till we draw it down until we spend it. So that's why our reimbursements can go all the way up through September for the grants that close on September if we spend the money through that period of time. And and if there's money that's spent like in September and we don't get it reimbured by September 30th, then that little bit of balance would be go into our completion report and that would be the balance
024to zero out the account. Get those recovered. Thank you. I just wanted clarification cuz for you guys to also understand because I know we're all these terms. So, thank you for clarifying that. Thank you, Mr. M. Uh, Mr. Bell. No, and just because uh to kind of alleviate a little of the confusion. So, when you say June and September, one's a fiscal year and one's a federal fiscal year. Correct. Well, we have some grants that end June 30th. Okay. And then we have some that end September 30th. So it's just the award period of the grant. Okay. So it's award period. It's not necessarily the fiscal year whether they're you know local or federal. That is correct. State and federal. Yes. Thank you. Okay. Any further questions? Thank you, Madam President. Thank you. And the
025moment that you all been waiting for. Uh next um we have retirement honor and recognition Dr. Lily Messma, superintendent. Information and discussion. Dr. Messma.

Uh my son, I'm a parent of a child that goes to PBLO del Soul and I would like to see um to bring this to the attention of the board. Um regarding our student safety, there's been an ongoing issue going on that I think it should be addressed to PBLO Soul and Isaac, you know, school district is the bus stop at PT Co. is uh like high alarm alarming um incidents has been happening because there is no crosswalk there for our students when they're getting released from the bus. There's kindergarten students that are coming. There's like a total of 14 students that get off the bus coming from Pueblo
043del um in the afternoons and there is no crosswalk signs. There's nothing. The cars are going. I have evidence to um bring to you guys um if you guys are open to them or if you guys would like to view it. But I'm a mother of a student that gets off and is terrified watching other students get off the bus, not knowing of a tragedy could happen with cars blowing by really fast at um at PTC. That's one of the biggest bus stops that that bus has and a lot of students come out of the bus the bus right there. And I would just like to see more done there. A a sign even the OPT co sign that where you know when schools are open drive at 15 miles an hour or something because
044that that school is abandoned right now. So there's no supervision, but only the parents that are picking up their students. And there's kindergartens that are walking by themselves that there there's even sometimes I'm not sure if it's commercial vehicles from PTCO um that are parked on the side of the street where um it's bike where the the bikes, but there's there's commercial um that are parked on the side when the students are trying to cross the crosswalk the the bus. there's like a commercial van that are parked there that the kids are not able to see when the cars are coming. So, it's a very dangerous and high alarming things and I just would hate to see a tragic accident happen to our community of our students there and that's what I just wanted to
045bring to the attention of the board to see if there is something that could be done for next school year or something that could be addressed for that and it's just for the safety of the students.
