So, uh we are continue work our JP adjuster and in regarding the tree replacement at our campus as well as the fence replacement at the high school. So the second report is

So we anticipate that we will offer the subway sandwich at Oak and um high school and last Friday our barbecue the traditional girl come back and we are so happy that Dr. Puna and principal Lee will help and guiding us and them pass the hamburger.

So all the committee member if we want to know more about our project and how we spend about money please join us at 5:30 at do at this room. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Next, we have services. >> Good evening. I wanted to start off by thanking Christian Castro, one of our counselors at the high school, for taking the time to come to our leadership meeting last week. She trained all of our principles in suicide prevention, provided them with a PowerPoint so that they're able to share with their counselors and go back and provide training to staff across the district. And has a very thorough
008plan this year on how she's going to implement the Aware grant that we've received. So Daryl and I are looking forward to supporting her with the implementation of that grant this year. Also, I wanted to thank our first and our fifth grade teachers. They were first out the gate to participate in our Wenders English language development training at the back of the boardroom. Uh you can't see it on camera for those of you that are at home, but those of us sitting in the room, we are surrounded by some EL wonders training materials. We left them up so that you had a chance to be able to see some of the artifacts uh that have been part of that training for our elementary teachers. And I have to say it is a very difficult time
009of course to be out of the classroom leaving sub plans when teachers are first starting to get to know um their students. However, we wanted to make sure we provided the training um at the beginning of the year so that they have these resources to be able to support them all throughout the year and the evaluations that we have been receiving from the teachers is overwhelmingly positive. So even though it's a challenge and I appreciate them taking the time um to write those plans, I believe that it has been a very productive time. So our sixth grade teachers will be in this room tomorrow participating in the training and trainings will continue throughout the month of September and October for each of our elementary grade levels. And then also I just wanted to thank all
010of the parents and staff volunteers who have been willing to step up to serve on various committees at the school sites. Right now principles are currently reaching out to fill positions for school site council um English language advisory committees as well as our district LCAP committee. So, we are grateful to all the staff members that have volunteered to either be on an election ballot or continue for a second year and serve on those committ. >> Thank you so much for sharing that. Next, we have uh human resources, Mr. Lo. >> Good evening. Um two things tonight. Uh the first one is HR is in the beginning stages of CALASS review and submission. CASASS is the California statewide assignment accountability system. the system developed by the California Commission on Teaching Credentiing that monitors California certificated educator
011assignments to ensure they are appropriately authorized and assigned. It's a mouthful just making sure that our teachers in the correct spots. Um and so it helps us identify if teachers are not and then gives us the opportunity to address some of those things. My second one is um just a reminder open enrollment for our health benefits begins next week. Um part of this process is that all all of our eligible employees the opportunity to sit down with American Fidelity and go through their their health benefits plan and any supplemental stuff they want. So, um it is a busy time in HR. Thank you so much. Right. Next, we have board member Thomas and this evening we will start with members. >> Great. Thank you. >> Try to be brief. Um let's see. Back on August
01229th, I attended the chamber legislative lunchon across the street at the community room. And I want to the featured speaker uh was Brian Cook who told us about some things going on with the city. But I really just want to say in general the chamber's been doing an excellent job of finding speakers and provided nice meals and whatnot. And I want to recognize them for that. Uh on the 31st had a my wife and I had the chance and and one of my sons to go to Scott Sherman's wedding. So Scott got married on the 31st. His wife's name is Joselyn um Oriana and she is a former employee here at the district office. So it was nice to see them there. Um let's see. Uh on the 6th and 7th this past weekend, I
013helped a American Cancer Society and the Real Life for Life to do some fundraising at the Sanita racetrack. And I think it went pretty well. By most accounts, people were able to raise more money this year than we have been in the last couple years. So, that's nice to see stop and mountain start to climb. Um, uh, let's see. Um lastly, um I I'm I think it's lastly I'm looking forward to welcoming our Australia sister city exchange students on the 21st and I hope that they enjoy their time in the US as much as we and students in the adults recently went to enjoy. And I have have one more item. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say anything about it involved in Mike's office late this afternoon. Oh, okay. Good. Saw a notification
014that Ashley Kim, Tim Kit, and Christian Mccclair were recognized by Mike or being recognized by Mike as outstanding educators. So, that's nice to see. All right. Thank you very much. Next, we have >> I also brief, but um I just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to the upcoming events, Friday's football game, Monday's girls football game. Um I I also want to say that I'm really excited about this bond measure um survey and research. I think that um we've done an excellent job and been a good stewards of the city the community members money for this project that we just finished and we want I I personally feel like we need to continue to um meet where our students are and where we want them to be and and we really just can't do
015that without some type of um assistance like this. So I hope our community members will really look keep track of what's going on with the bond, what's going on with the research and what is going on as we progress to see if this is something we want to do. Um, and you know, I think our kids deserve it. Um, they work so hard um and and especially in the sciences and the performing arts, I think they they we need to meet where they are and meet where we want them to be. that and um also you know in listening to Connie um I do want to thank our food services folks they have really you know worked really hard to get changes implemented um and to to everybody that's been involved in those changes looking
016and listening um accepting feedback um and you know I really appreciate hanging in there and you know um working really hard to uh you know give the kids what they you know something that they like and something that they want to eat. Um so thank you so much food services folks for all your work and that's all. >> Thank you so much. Next we have member. >> Thank you. I attended a few items also event last meeting. I also attended the chamber lunchon city manager really did a great job explaining some of the issues coming up. I'm really thankful that the district and the city has such good close working relationship. Um, last Saturday I attended the kickoff for the 82nd Festival. The theme this year is Chameleia Palooa. It was it was suggested by
017a third grader from London called Sage Guerrero. And I think it's just going to be a great theme to inspire everybody to have a great time. I'm the float chairman, so I just know our floats are just a lot of fun interpreting that that theme. Um, tonight we're considering a proclamation recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and I appreciate all the contributions that our local Latin and Hispanic families have made as they add to the diversity of our district. are very grateful for what you've added to our district. Uh congratulations to Chris Mccclur and Ashley for being recognized as by Mike Bong's office as 2025 outstanding educators. Um I know the community is very excited about soft opening of our new stadium Friday when we pass measure S. so many years ago. I know the families were
018happy to see the improvements at our school sites, but at the same time there was always a question, okay, so when are we getting a new stadium? We are. Um, over the last year, we saw it go from an empty lot with piles of rubble to just the most remarkable sports complex. It's like it's taking it's taking shape and it just looked like perfectly shaped puzzle that's fitting together now. And I just think I can't wait for soft opening this Friday just so the community can actually get out there and see it. Um, one one last thing, every year we have a chance to honor excellent teachers and classified employees of the year. Um, and occurred I mentioned this to Dr. last week. It occurred to me recently that many of our recent district teachers
019of the year reflect the importance that our district places on the arts for Kyle Smith and this year's Lacy Scanland. Each of them have played a really big part in keeping the arts alive for our students. And I I know we all look forward to joining Lacy as she's honored by the County Office of Education. So, Temple City, you're doing well. >> Fantastic. Thank you so much. Next, we have members. >> Thank you. Uh, I just wanted to first add on to the community update about the bunko. I have tickets. So, if anybody would like to buy a ticket, I can make it real easy for you. I will hand deliver it. Um, This is going to be a fundraiser to raise money for their field show this year. So, it's real important fundraiser. Um,
020I also attended the um my colleagues uh the legislative luncheon where Brian Cook spoke and the Chameleia festival kickoff which was really great. Um, I attended a football game against Laente. didn't go exactly how we would have liked it, but it was still a lot of fun. It's always great to see the kids out there running around and all the cheerleaders rooting for our school. So, I enjoy it. Um, finally, today I got a tour of the dual language classes at Longden and thank you Art and Stacy for arranging that. Um, it was really interesting um how they do it. Uh the teachers are doing an amazing job and it's so cute to see those little kids just soaking it all in and um I'm really excited about this program. I hope to maybe go
021back towards the end of the year and see how they've progressed. But um congratulations to everybody involved in that because it's going to be a great program. That's all I have. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. And u I wanted to uh um share that you know in regards to the food services. So you know I do work with certain groups of high school students for certain things and um it was funny because um on one of those meetings the first thing they said is where's ours and I said what are you talking about and they said subway we heard you gave subway to elementary school. So I said well I can't answer that question but you just did. So if you're watching there you there is your answer. So and I think they're
022really thrilled by that. Um and you know the comments have been really really good and they actually also commented that they like the food. They thought that was a really good idea. So um thought I wanted to share that. So please share that with our food services department. They're doing a great job with helping us kind of revitalize and make lunch interesting for our students. Um and also I'm looking forward to hopefully being able to attend uh the uh recognition for both Miss Kitchen and Miss Core. Um both outstanding teachers have been with us for quite a long time and and very deserving of that award. And of course with this coming Friday, it's it's going to be really kind of not a watershed one, but you know, um some of us here, myself included,
023we were on those campaign committees making those calls, getting the community interested in in supporting that bond, the Metro S bond back in 2012. And all of us here were more than likely involved in some shape or form. You know, Donna and I, you know, we spent quite a bit of time along with some community members just night making all these phone calls and talking to parents and community members and to see it finally here. Um, and it it seems seems like such a great feeling, especially as we do this on Friday and we see um the ideas that we brought forward to the community and how um now it's real. And so, as member Espendos has shared as well, we're we're hoping that um the community can see that we've been good stewards of
024public funds and that they would again uh the community will support us again to to continue this tradition of excellence as I call it to help support the future generation of students because it really does make a difference the new classroom build so and along with all the improvements all across the district. So we're hoping that you know the community if you're listening out there we really need your support. We look forward to this information that we're going to get this evening. And that is it for me this evening. Uh next we have student board member from Mr. Williams. Thank you so much. Next, we have Superintendent Thomas. >> Thank you. I too would like to congratulate Ashley and being recognized by office. I think it's very well deserved. I will say if you are
025planning on going, I just got an email from his office. They changes are still and this is why I believe that all of our legislators are not going to be able to make it. 12 kickoff event. So hopefully at least they wanted to echo what some of the board and the need to continue to really just push forward. It would be very easy for us to just kind of rest on ours with a really successful project in my right now with the sports complex, but we need to keep going. There's there's a lot more we need to do for our students and our community. We do have a need in the sciences. We have a need in the arts. We have a need for safety items. There are needs all over you'll probably see just
026looking at Conniey's presentation uh tonight. You know, we we don't receive the level of funding we need in order to keep providing these opportunities for our students. So, we really do rely on the community support. Um I wanted to give a a thank you and shout out to the Batty team. Whether it is donating hot dogs for Friday's event, they donated hot dogs for us to give out to people that go get them. They donated shirts for us to be able to sell that commemorate the night. They have pushed the subcontractors on overtime that they have been taken care of. They worked Saturday and Sunday this last week. to help us have as much time as possible for this event. And there are a lot of things that are just beyond their control, but they
027continue to push and I appreciate that. And I know that I probably a little too hard. But I, you know, I acknled, you know, this is again, this is an opening of the stadium. It's not complex and so the fact that they're getting as much done for us as possible so that we can showcase a lot of the uh the stadium or the complex itself very we had thought there was no chance we were going to have locker rooms and we're going to have locker rooms for the kids to be able to have all of our rest but We should have all of our women's restaurants, which is the more important piece, right? >> That's what I said, too. So, so, you know, we're we're working on it. Concessions may not look the way we
028wanted to, but hopefully they can get uh get it done to the point where it looks good, but at the very least, it will be usable. And I'm thankful that we caught a break in weather and it's only supposed to be on Friday, but just being out there in the evening or late afternoon. I'm so happy for our PTA in that concession stand because it is nothing but shade and there's a nice breeze that comes through. They're not looking in the sun. So, even if we don't have everything up, it should still be comfortable. I also wanted to give a shout out to Elias and Mike for the work that they're doing to get the video done, the sound, and everything else. I think we released it to a week and a half or something.
029Crazy amount of time. The graphics are so like I I am so pleased with what we have going on over there. I know we've had They they stop and they they take pictures of the board. Like it everything out there is really just state of the art. And so I I'm so happy for what we're delivering for our students. Um and then um oh uh for the lunch I I also wanted to follow up. Elena and I were out there helping and Elena had a couple of We did the barbecue come to her and say, "I don't know my lunch number because I haven't bought a lunch in years, but they were in line for our barbecue." And so I was like, "That is what we needed to hear." You know, kids that we have
030not been accessing lunch. We're now in line for lunch and Connie knows that we will. So, you know, there's things that are going to take a little bit of time, but we're in the right direction. And then on a a more somber note, I I I just want to say I and I don't know if you been following the news, and I'm sure you have, but I am just so saddened by the world we live in right now. No matter when you turn on the news, it is just filled with hatred, violence, a lack of patience, just disdain for people in general and I my fear is these are the the examples we are setting for kids and how do we expect us not to sp I am glad that we're recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month.
031I I think we need to do our part to to spread more positivity. It's just, you know, it's a heavy heavy load right now and I just don't think that next written communications. We do have one written communication from the Los Angeles County Office of Education and this is in regards to our uh LCAP and budget approval. Um so uh the LA County Superintendent of Schools has received and completed our review of the Temple City Unified School District's local control and accountability plan and adopted budget for the fiscal year of 2025 2026 and based on their review they have determined that the district's del cap meets all the criteria and is approved. So um and next also um pursuant to um education code section 42127 the county superintendent has completed our review and analysis of
032your district's adopted budget for the fiscal year of 2025 2026 and that review has resulted in approving the district's budget with the following comments and concerns. Um and it says that uh they strongly advise that the district address its ongoing structural deficit and take necessary actions to improve the unrest unrestricted general fund balance. And I'll be honest, I think every school district up and down California gets that statement. So I don't think that's, you know, necessarily isolated to us. just uh something that I think the office of education just likes to remind every school district to be mindful about how they're spending their budget. So um you know I just you know I think on behalf of the board we want to thank everyone on the staff that um helped to get us approved uh
033for this year. We know there's so many moving pieces and a lot of people getting involved making sure this all comes together. So everyone appreciate it. Um and that's it for communications. Um we do not have any discussion information item uh topics to talk about this evening. But we do have some discussion action agenda items that may require discussion but upon which the board is expected to take action during the meeting. And first we have the adoption of resolution 252607 recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month theme for 2025 which is collective heritage honoring the past inspiring the future. And I you know I think that's very meaningful especially in times. >> Yeah. You know, I I I just wanted to to fact that, you know, a lot of our Hispanic families, they they are living in fear
034right now and again rulings thatffectamilies. I just wanted to make sure that we all Okay. Motion by member Espinosa, second by Okay. Um there board members, let's go ahead and vote.

Next, uh we have 17 C, the adoption of resolution 252608 certifying the sufficiency of textbooks or instructional materials. Um it's a William Sack requirement. Um and
036I believe that I will make a motion for this. Can I get a second, please? Second by member Georgino. preferential vote. Member Munos. Okay. And this one also happens to be a roll call. Member Smith. >> Yes. Member Espinosa. >> Yes. Member Georgino. >> Member Sne. >> Okay. Motion carries. 5 Z. Next we have business services. Um item 18, approval of the 2024 2025 un audited actual financial reports. board. This is a lining approved for the unit a show. That's for the 2425 school year. And this is a beautiful stadium. I took a picture from our press box. >> Of course, I'm sorry, Jerry. Hope you you approve. Hope you approve. Thank you. So um we as a public entity we operate the environment is what happened in the nation what happened in the state
037will reflect our book. So behind the number of the book there's a story. So here the story. So 2425 is a very interesting year. So and we all know that there's a lot of happening the beginning of the 2025. We have a new president occupy the white house and the change comes first immigration law. immigration law starting in 2425 school year and on my book we have not see the impact yet but we may in 25 26 so Dr. Crew mentioned that it have impact Hispanic family and we see it we hear it but have not hit our book yet so this one the tariffs so we all say in our business that No kids left behind for this tariff war looks like no country left behind because why? It's a war against the Canada,
038Mexico, China, India and all European countries. So what's the impact? The impact is the I we run through the PO order our batch of kumbuk because why we try to save the additional money but we only save in 2425 but how about the 2526 our expenditure will be high this one inflation it has hit our book so so for example we starting high contract contractor to do the maintenance work which our skillful worker cannot handle because of lack of tool lack of manpower lor time right now when you talk about the repair there's a line item say track load fee $250 when I first receive the email say what is track loading fee they say you know that because our cost is increased so the the district have to pay for the use of their
039tool And then the other things we saw is the contract. So I'm glad that our director of special ed is here and she and I both see that the contract service for the special ed increase a lot and our book should I will give you the more information. So this one already showed our book this will and this may. So what happened from Sacramento? We talk about from Capitol Hill is expenditure. So let's talk about the Sacramento in regarding the revenue. The border we all know that the majority funding we receive from Sacramento. So the the 2425 the cola is only 1.07%. This is over 4.15% decrease from 234 223 our cola is 13.26 to six. This is decrease from 20 to 23. So our revenue is decreased a lot. On the other hand category
040program 23 24 we have a new program called the population 28 vipa program. This program is ongoing to 20 and then 2425 we do not receive any new monies and then that year our co COVID 19 fund is gone because of we want to meet the spending deadline. So we have a more cost and less revenue. What happened January 7th? the mother nature fire. We are lucky that our school is safe but not Pasadena Unifi school district. This is us right. We have impact our school has impact the tree is filling down debris $10,000 deductible for for our insurance and the more is coming because in the future premium we will be increased that is the environment then the environment will operate what happened to us good happen in campus univers as I mentioned that
041co 19 money is At the end of 2425 we did the science text adoption as Stacy can speak more we spread two years but however the money is majority money paid is in the 2425 so so our book science tax adoption is $1.4 million and then we settle for the negotiation and our leadership from union are here we settle for 0 6% for all our members and we gave a employee one time reimbursement on one time for a one time check and ongoing the district contribution for the house is $250 in 2425. This is the gray project we just mentioned that we finished the this is ongoing project and this is now so we are working different area and the tennis court this is the baseball I think. Yeah. So this happened in in the
042district. So this is our book. The book is reflect cost the increase of cost and the decrease of of the revenue. So unrest general fund is really our main operation fund. The healthy of unrestricted general fund represent the healthy of the district financial statement. So for our unrestricted general fund we are definitely spending for $2.2 million. Although our any fun bands compare with other district, we're still strong but we really need to close monitory and one of the close monitor I approve every paycheck right not paycheck to employee paycheck to the vendor because because why it's very if you talk out of control the budget but we just like pay the people without pay the vendors without close monitoring. ing and then there's a possibility our budget will be at a risk. The administrative administrative
043deficit spend did not mean that much because sometime the looks like we have couple program. So cashable program we receive the money but we spend right now we have educate effective grant we have other music instruction program we receive the money year before we spend money right now. So you look at that we the revenue is $19 million expended 36.9 it's really we just spend the money we receive early and then the two program I mentioned that the spending deadline is 2526 so so this will not mean that much but this do this is our combined restricted unrestricted fund how we spend our money in 2425 we have the certificate employee 37% classifying employee 14% employee benefit 21 book supply 5% normally without textbook adoption book supply normally around 3% of entire budget because of
044textbook adoption this is a high and other operation expenditure $16.4 for million dollar 18% this also little bit high uh normally before the infraction uh inflation is little bit under 15%. And we have a capital outlay. Capital outlay is mainly is care shape program. So it's it's we starting the replace the HVAC with that's a main project and that is ongoing transfer. This is the special act before pandemic our other outgoing transfer out is under one 1% this time we had 3%. And the 2.2 2 million is the payment for the special program. So, so that is the challenge we we we have right now. So, we have other fund and three of them are listed here is the self-support fund which is adult education, child development and food service. The good news is this
045three self fun program they are not deficit spending and they their funding bands when we close 2425 actually is higher. So so there u the three program is running very well. So this five fun is al all facility related funding and then defer maintenance is really for facility maintenance and then bond we spend all the bond money for the uh measure s uh fund 21 and then we did receive the bond the board approved to um issue this measure C which is closed in January so that will show up in the 2526 book but as of 2425 we spend all our bond money so developer fee um I really have a good news especially for Donna because I still remember you as the question right we are running very 24 is is the best year
046for the develop. We received uh we receive over $72,000 develop fee and then plus interest come out $846 that is the highest develop fee received um after I submitted the report to you when I first come here because average our develop fee collection is a little bit around $27,000 but this is definitely 2425 definitely big years big year and the county facility is just little bit balance we have so not that much and then capitally. So right now we are spending capital outly which is fund 40 fund 40 and uh and then plus the um 206 uh 256 the new issuance try to finish our our pro um project. So the challenger um I think Mr. mentioned that the letter uh from the Office of Education about deficit spending. So I will provide additional information.
047There's a um letter this general say that LA USD expect$ 1.3 billion with B$ 1.3 billion dollar deficit and through the 2028 school year and what is the cost of the of the deficit spending? Here's the reason why this one I add because I think this is probably another one reason. Number one is L USD per report say that per student's budget increase 29%. So that is cost increase students down 29%. What that mean is the revenue the students population is decrease the revenue decrease but at the meantime their cost increase dramatically look at staffing their staffing also increase since 20 that exact reason why the def spending come from but USD is not the only one there's another article back to June 17 say that San Diego school district not only one several more
048San Diego schools facing second year of deficit 24 25 is their second year and I'm happy to report a board although the county said that ongoing def spending no no is temple city unified school is first year unrestricted general fund defending 2122 the first year I come here 22 23 24 23 24 the campus city unified school understandable not standing it's on our Unfortunately, we can't esape escape 2425. Why? I already explained 1.07 cola and all the cost the inflation. I'm interested to see which schools did not get the spending and uh so not only California tax school tax school deficit spending continue to increase their deficit back to 23 2023 which mean 22 23 school year 2024 mean 23 24 school year. So guess what 24 25 will be definitely worse. That is our
049challenge. That's why the reason why I personally look at it I personally approve legal financial system each than the payment because that's important. We don't we don't want to pay more. We don't have to. That is the procedure. Next step we have to do um adequate requirement legal requirement we're going to sign we're going to submit the um report on before September 15 that's um adequate requirement and then we will look at the carryover for various program and we will report to the board the um September 24th board meeting and there we're starting the the audit for the um district for 2425 and then first intern uh in back to December And we're anxious to see what happened in 25 26. What is the color the state gave us? Where's my beautiful picture? This is
050any question. That's before. That is before, right Jerry? That's before we kick off. Actually, this is a picture from we did take take took when we kick off the June 7th, 2024 the um pick off date. >> That is Friday. Don't forget. >> Yeah. >> Any question? >> Um well, of course, we're going to make a motion. So, u can I get a motion to approve by Espinosa? Second by member. All right. question. >> I did. >> You >> um I was just wondering do we have an update on uh enrollment? >> Um I I give you update right now. So um our enrollment is right now is 5,285. Unfortunately, we have certain cases less compared with last year's census data, which October October the first Wednesday of October. So um right now it's really
051not apple to apple comparison because I'm using this right now data compared with the first of October. So moment will continue change but I hope more showed up but there's possibility we may have around 10 less. >> Thank you. My question was um so the developer fees um are they restricted on how you can spend that money or is that unrestricted? >> Um they are restricted. Number one restriction is on facility. Number two restriction is have to be grow. So, so which means that you the democracy the generation of democracy is the community you know build a house and and as expectation you have more family moving and have more kids right. So as far as our school go in population we can use the developer for the project for example fortunately we are the
052campus high school the students population increase this um right now 25 our is um more than 1,800. So that is high there last last two years. So for example some of the project our field house mention that we really can so that is our backup fund if we exhaust the 40 and then we can use that and then we already check the legal council it's confirmed we can comments questions right let's go ahead and thank you very much for presentation Yep. Let's go ahead and vote on this preferential vote. Member Munos. Okay. All those in favor? >> I. All those opposed. Motion carries. 5-0. Next. Uh we have the approval of bond measure survey agreement with True North Research Incorporated and U so the reason why we're putting this on now is we need to
053start getting uh community input in regards to what are the needs of the community if we and if there's interest in going out for uh another bond measure. Uh our hope would be to have this uh survey or have this company brought on board, develop the survey, have it out somewhere around December uh before the new calendar year so that we can start to plan and put everything in motion for the November 26. U this company that we selected has a there well first off there are very few companies that do this work but this company has a relationship with the company that we have next item but also they were cheaper than the other I will make a motion this may get a second Yes. All right. So, let's go ahead and vote. Preferential
054vote. All those in favor? >> I. All those opposed? Motion carries. 5 Z. We have item 20 approval of bond feasibility and strategic communication service agreement with team civics. >> Yeah. Um as Dr. Dr. mentioned that when we try to prepare for the November and the first important is we assembling the team team of consultant who can help help us. So the research for the So so and then second one is the bond flexibility flexibility and strategic communication. So um this firm actually is played a very critical role. So they were guiding us in the entire process. So they they will do the three phases. Phase one is feibility assessment and the second one is the better measure develop development. The third is phase three is public public information. The first is do measure how
055words how the measure to clearly reflect this need and they also help us to the community do the survey. They are work closely with our survey firm and also guiding us the next step steps. So um is the three faces. The is first one face one is black for the face two is 6,750 per month. The reason we stretch this way is because we know there certain work we need to do. So we are not interesting bases sometime depend on the result. Some result is if the result is favorable we may move forward but if the result is not unfavorable then we may stop the work. So by monthly fee chart will give the district flexibility depend on the the feedback then we will strategically to work with this company. just really there's also June
056and so that would be something that would save us money in the long run but we'll just have to see what the community looks That's where the survey will help us. A couple of things with regards to team success with the one thing that I really appreciated is person. She's also an attorney and so I appreciate that there's always a lot Can I get a motion real quick? >> All right, no problem. Um, and second by member. Sorry to interrupt you. Go ahead. So to pass the bodies 55% but depending upon what the interest is, you're really kind of in where she was talking to us, you're really looking at about somewhere in the high 40% range is kind of where they feel like it's interest. We think we have a good shot. Obviously, all
057those in favor. All those opposed. Motion carries 5. Next we have item 21 approval of substaffing service agreement with swing education incororated. >> Yes. And the purpose service agreement is try to address address shortage at our food department. So this company actually specialize the sub for the education and they are not only for the classify they also provide for certificate employ. and they headquartered in San Francisco and they currently provide over 1,000 um schools schools for the subs not only in California in Arizona in other states. So um by bring this company on board and then when we look at the fee charged for the cafeteria based on need and it's around it's within the range. So this will additional flexibility. program then we will have a backup for this agency. I will second that.
058Okay. Yes, absolutely. Please go ahead. >> Yes, that's the recruitment the district. >> How is this different? What is the benefit? >> So we we struggle to hire food service people. So we've increased hours where we talk about where on their column as they come into us. It's just a difficult position to hire for so we continue to run into roadblocks. We hire and then people start the process and then the process. So this is really a stop. We will continue to hire for the positions. Um the positions are still all out there and as we fill them um we'll need less of the subs but it's also the daytoday. We don't have pool. So cafeteria worker Connie calls in sick today. This is an instant call. >> Yes, this is as of right now.
059Yes, this for service is because we the full work work their schedule is a half half day is only two to three hours. So it is it has been very difficult in the last couple years for us to find those subs. So this um by agency we their subs and then it's have a longterm and short term. So give the additional flexibilities reading through their materials too it seems like they take care of all the background checking fingerprinting and all that. So they're taking care of >> Yes. technically they're not employees. >> That's correct. They are just outside. >> They just have the resources and they can send them out. It's probably my assumption is it's beneficial for some people to to be service the services way to be because they can get jobs at
060a lot of different places and they get like a fulltime you know situation for themselves and be able to provide for their families. So um I get it and the other benefit is the company use the app. So they basically pay on a weekly basis. So that is just like addenefit mentioned that they have flexibility just go online they will say I want sub so the computers automatically maybe assign them and they will get paid on on the weekly so I think this is probably a mutual benefit um all right um there are no other questions or comments and vote on this preferential vote yes all those in favor motion carries Next we have item 22, approval of teacher local assignments for the 2025 2026 school year. So we approved of both these um at
061our last meeting. We wanted to include Katie on there for her and so we just we one class one out of her. May I get a motion please? >> Motion by second by member Smith. And you know I want to thank Migi for all the years of dedicating so much of her time and for the students. She's question at the end of the day we have our teachers teaching our kids are All right, let's go ahead and vote. Preferential vote. All those in favor. All those opposed. Motion carries. 5 Z. Next we come to our consent agenda portion of our meeting. Retain items approved by one motion and one vote. Unless a member of the board or audience requests that any item be reviewed and voted on separately. Okay. Very well. Uh let's go ahead
062and uh make a motion for that. I'll make a motion for that. Can I get a second, please? >> Second by member. Okay. All right. Okay. Um preferential vote member. Okay. All those in favor. All those opposed motion carries 5. Um and uh next we have item 28 comments. My fellow board members have all item in our future agenda items uh which is a presentation and update on um campus security. Okay. And back to our additional public comment on agenda and Mr. Jambian is hoping to share some words with us. I'm sure I can't afford her. >> Oh man. Okay. >> Good evening, board. I'm excited on a few levels uh tonight. Uh two of them especially. And that's the grand opening, soft opening I guess of the stadium Friday night. It's like 15 months
063in the making. It's not quite done yet, but I'm telling you, it's amazing. I was happy to document it. Uh, a lot of it. So, uh, it's going to be amazing. Uh, I think I was telling Dr. Kuna last meeting, I don't see how you could have done this with the amount of money that you had. I mean, as I look around, it's amazing everything. So, it's exciting. The uh next thing is the bond. I am 100% in favor of the bond. I remember working on it with some of you 12 years ago, 13 years ago, standing on the corner of Temple City Boulevard in Lost Tunis, waving signs for people. I own two pieces of property in Temple City. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to look on my tax bill and see that
064indebtedness every year because it's money well spent. I shouldn't say this, but as a business owner, uh I'm enjoying the benefits of increased property values, not because of our sparkling business district, but because of the schools. So, I really appreciate that having two daughters go through the system and graduate in 88 and 91. Uh, so it's amazing. But, uh, I still remember 2012 going to Cloverly School, looking around, seeing the peeling paint, the broken windows, windows falling out of the paint because of the putty wasn't there. And what an improvement of our district. And uh it is $128 $128 million well spent. So congratulations whoever did it. Took a long time, but it was well worth it. So I hope it goes through and I hope our citizens realize the value of another bond to
065complete what probably should have been done in the first place. But thank you so much for all your work. >> Wonderful. Thank you, Jerry, for your very Please. >> All right. Okay. I'm not supposed to say that. Okay. Anyway, uh All right. Final item, which is uh adjournment. So, may I get a motion, please? >> By member Smith, second by member Munoz. Right. Okay. All right. Uh preferential vote. Member Munoz. Okay. All those in favor? >> All those opposed. Thank you very much. We are adjourned at 64 >> 64 643.
