001All right. Okay. Uh, next we have uh public comment on agenda and non-aggendaized items. Uh, this evening we have uh one public comment and I'd like to welcome Mr. Wellington Lou up to the podium and please uh share like to share with us. Members of the board, members of school district, family, students, and residents, thank you for having me. My name is Will. I'm actor and founder of the performing arts school in Arcadia Avenue. Though we are in a neighboring city and residents attend our programs and classes and we deeply value that connection with our neighbors. CTA Academy offers conservatory style training acting, singing, dance leadership classes. Our instructors include finalists, Emmy awardwinning actors, martial arts champions and public leaders like former mayor of Pentagon teaching leadership classes. Some students come to CTAs. performers or
002actors. One of our students successfully landed on audition for an idol showing along families travel as far as CTA's mission goes beyond performance. Many students join us to build confidence, discipline, presence and communication skills. You know, through our speech class, they find their voice and confidence even if they never step on a performance. Both of our performance and leadership classes help students looking to diversify their college portfolio applications. On May 20th of this year, several of our students spoke during public comments at the Arcadia City Council, part of our civic leadership and training program. Voices helped spark interest in forming Arcadia's first ever youth, an idea that is now with current mayor Sharon and other council members with the support of their instructor mayor former mayor. Even though these students may not ultimately serve on
003youth advocating for youth voices and helping launch something already sets a great example and I'd love to explore how students from city next round of civic leadership and public speaking workshops. Also be excited to discuss how CTAs departments can lead by professional instructors. We provide the instructors and the newly launched nonprofit talent founders whether a student is performing or pursuing the arts or confidence I had a 1520 SAT 4.4 GPA from a bunch of universities. I decided to go to China. I welcome me to speak with me afterach. Thank you very much. All right. Oh, I see. Okay. Um, well, we'll just kind of continue along the lines until arrives. Um, so next we have community updates. Uh, couple things to share with, uh, everyone this evening. Uh, this is the start of our incredibly
004fun, uh, summer concerts in the park series. Um, and Mr. Jamb shared earlier, we've got a new performer today and they seem to be uh quite loud and nice. This is good. Okay. So, um and as a matter of fact, next week uh one of our very own teachers um Mr. Anthony Russell and his band Smokers will be performing. Uh so, everyone, if you have time, please stop by and join the festivities. And also, we'd like to uh share with everyone that uh the highly anticipated uh grand opening for the redesigned uh playground at Live Park is coming on Saturday, June 21st and the ceremony is going to be between somewhere around 9 to 11 o'clock. And I personally haven't seen it yet, but just, you know, um just seeing pictures of it, it's really
005exciting and and and I think this redesigned playground is highly anticipated by a lot of our community members, particularly those with small children. So, We look forward to uh sharing in in that sort of happiness. I call it happiness. All right. Okay. So, next uh we'll move on to our bargaining unit comments. Um CSEA 823. I don't know that I see anyone here. Uh TCAA. All right. Okay. But hi, how are you? Okay. All right. I feel like you know that's the least we should do that. and CSA 105. So, actually, uh, Janette asked if we could read something for her, um, because she would be too difficult for her to be here in public and read on her own. So, I will read it. Uh, dear Temple City Board of Education, it is with
006mixed emotions that I submit this letter. As my family prepares to relocate to Mya, I will be stepping down from my role as library of media technology specialist. Intermediate as well as from my position as chapter president of CSEA 105. Over the past 25 years with Temple City Unified, I have had the privilege of growing both personally and professionally. This district has given me so much and I am incredibly grateful for the experiences, the relationships, and the unwavering support I've received. I want to sincerely thank each of you for your dedication to our schools, our employees, and most importantly our students. Your commitment to excellence and compassion uh does not go unnoticed. I would like to extend special thanks to Superintendent Dr. Kuna, Assistant Superintendent Richard Lman, and Director of Human Resources Jurus Bergos. Thank
007you for your openness, for always being available to listen, and for working with me to address the concerns of CSEA 105. Your professionalism and humanity have made a lasting impression on me. As I move on to a new chapter, I carry with me many fond memories and deep respect for this district. I can only hope that my new community will reflect the same dedication and care that define Temple City Unifi. Thank you again for everything. Warmest regards, Janette Hau, immediate technology specialist. Thank you for sharing and we certainly appreciate all the years of contribution that has given to our district as well. She will be she will be excited for her. Okay. Next uh actually I think our guest has arrived this evening. So if I may I would like to Yes. Yeah. We would
008like to go back and uh take part in our special recognition presentation portion of our meeting. And as a matter of fact, we're excited to hear from none other than Mr. Matt Buyer to share with us a preview about of our TCSF summer musical. So, Mr. Buyers, thank you very much. Um, I wanted to do two things. As was mentioned, just a brief recap uh from our March event for celebration of 60 years. Um, as you know, the school district is a music theater district and especially now with Lacy scandlin great elementary looks to be fabulous next years. Um but we were very thrilled for the encore event to celebrate 60 years um considering that it's been run by just a handful of people over the years in terms of you know Roger Lock ran
009it since 1965 the beginning of it and he did that till 1983. I came on in till 2020 that uh were burnt from 1990 until 2020 and John Howie since 1991 and still you know we have this this tremendous legacy uh and performed in the shows, but I performed very in the shows back in the 70s. So, I mean, this is a very uh just an in terms of the many many programs that we have and it was thrilled to have we had 48 performers um as early as 1969 all the way to graduates from last year. Um and just a an amazing collaboration especially the choreographers using technology to do all the rehearsals online. Uh post things and people from all over the country and then showed up two days in one case day
010and those that saw the concert. It was a very special thing and of course being able to finally recognize the news cast from 2020 that didn't get to perform show literally the day before opening. Um that was the finale and if you look at Jerry's video um not just because how proud they were performing, but myself, a number of staff did, too. Fact, especially very very momentous occasion. Um our summer musicals uh which started back in um that have been going on for since then. Uh we are back to doing two shows. We normally would do a junior musical just a junior musical for elementary kids through 8th grade. Um we are This year we have Dr. uh and we have 51 uh second through eighth graders that are participating in that event this right
011here. And uh we have uh this is actually the fourth time that we have performed Susicle um 2005 2010 2015 and now 10 years later and we've had you know a number of students who have gone through many of the students that have gone through the high school spring musical started in the junior musical that started off first with local arts boosters hosting currently the last several years uh the city schools and uh so this year's susic production uh and both workshops Susie Teta and myself uh Kelly Morrison is coordinating movement and sets and Lauren Yoder who's now in college we're coming back and choreographing the kids and we're having a great time they're having a great time uh and then the high school production uh which was a production we did back in 2003
012and finally it's coming back with a new revamp and that is Greece and uh all those summer nights and all that kind of thing. U again the same production staff that's uh working on it and uh you know just looking at I was looking at the roster from 2003 and there's four there was five different students involved in that in that production that are currently working and that Scott recently just came off off Broadway musical or off Broadway play So anyway, um we're very proud of the summer program because it does give the the kids an introduction into um just the gifts of of performing arts, the ability to stand up in front of people, to speak loud, to be confident. Um morning. We had Sher and I had breakfast with a student who just
013graduated from university and because of the uh she started off with the summer musicals high school and decided to part of her major music therapy and her thesis was on the impact of music theater students putting together teaching some lines and it was really gratifying. So that is our I can leave these posters with you. That is our commercial the Greece uh has two performances July 2nd and 3rd at 7 p.m. in the campus theater and the susic is the following week July 9th 10th and 11th or uh the kids There will be tickets available through the schools foundation. Um but really we hand the kids the tickets to the kids and their parents and they just so if you know somebody uh student who's in one of those productions that would be the fastest
014way to get tickets to join us. It's really going to be a very fun It's school edition. All right. Any other questions? Not a question, but a comment. I wanted to thank you publicly, Matt and John, and whoever else was involved in the production because it was fabulous. It was just really a great production and then the um the newsies part finale was certainly very heartwarming and having been at the uh rehearsal when it got cancelled and seeing all those kids how devastated they were. It was uh like you said it was healing to be able to see them perform and have a good time. So, Thank you so much. I know you guys put a lot of work into that. Really appreciate you. Yeah, I mean we all feel the same way. uh you
015know the encore performance um it was touching to me in so many different levels as a former student and as you know that generation of kids I kind of happen to know a little bit more because my daughter was in that generation you know I do remember you know the disappointment but it's really nice see them back and it's just but it couldn't have happened without you and you know the support of everyone and I think it goes without saying Uh we are so lucky and incredibly grateful to have you here not just because of your skills and and the education impact for our kids in the performing arts but what you give from the heart that we really appreciate. Thank you so much. And I know we're talking about the possibil entertainment center. One
016of the things that was really special to me was 48 people on stage audience and many many alumni These are people as a retired music. However, an auditorium or for the arts. Standing on the shoulders of me shoulders. So thank you cheer you on. Keep going. Yes, that that whole weekend between the musical all three days and the encore was just it just uplifted everybody. Watching the alumni performance performers come back and sing a solo that they had performed years before or their father had performed years before. I never knew which song was going to make me cry. many of them did, but I think everybody in that audience was crying when the newsies uh cast was up on that stage. They just was like, "We finally got to do this." And I think uh
017just our performing arts in Temple City is what has made us very unique. So many districts have eliminated that over the years because of budgets and we've kept it going. you kept it going for 60 years. You've been part of keeping it going for 60 years. And um not you personally, but you took you had a big part. Um but it's such a such a unique part of Temple City. People know, oh, that's that's a city that does all those musicals. And it's just it gives every student a chance whether they're, you know, whether they're a gate student where they might be one of our special ed students who can get up on that stage and perform and be a part of of that group and and presenting such a phenomenal You want to see
018something in car? I'm not quite sure why you retired or if you even did you know I was so blessed so performing arts and back there. I need to volunteer there and help out there too and leave out the Yeah. I mean, where I grew up, we appreciate having you here for sure. And, you know, as we were walking out of the Encore musical, people were always talking about. So, I I don't know if you're quite ready for it, but we'll we'll figure something out. M. Yeah, we've got some ideas. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you so much for your time this evening. All right. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, there you go. Well, what I mean, we want to see the we want to see the uh See? Yes. Yeah. I don't
019know. No, that's new. How do you notice that? All right, that was wonderful. Okay, uh let's go ahead and move forward with our agenda. Next up, um our district updates. First uh we've got business services. M how are you doing this evening? Good, good, good evening board. I also have a little bit good news. Yesterday the riman bond rim gems our district underwriter has completed a successful pricing for our measure sd bond as well as 2025 uh refund bond for the measure series bond which is the the par value is total $2.2 $2 million and out of that $2 million will be deposited to district building fund. So help us to finish the um high school project for the 2025 refund bond is the par value bond is $16.7 million and all this will retire

So the market is very frustrated and they we are very happy the result and our underwriter and the teams actually um the result the final um the final deadline to finish the entire process it will be the first week of July. So um as um ongoing effort of improve our meal service program and Anthony me and Marisol we visited the amount food their central kitchen um they the nutrition department and with the central kitchen and the warehouse they are located in a ding facility is separate from school side. So this um kind of arrangement is very unique. Most of school district not have such a big big separate facility to hosting the facility department
021and their centric kitchen their kitchen is very impressive big and most of I don't think have that facility. So the staff they share with me that such arrangement has a pro and cons. Um I can tell that. So we also take a look at their four um we plan to do some work to for our own kitchens including um some floor area. So um we will make some improvement both our facility of the kitchen and the program. So I will keep the board up. That's is thank you so much. All right. Okay services. Good evening everyone. Um I just have a few thank yous tonight. So, the team I work with, Amy, Stacy, Daryl, Moises, um, Eva, and everyone else, I forgot. Um, they are amazing people. And so, as we enter summer, it always
022seems like, oh, there'll be this downtime, and there is no downtime. So, later tonight, we're going to see Stacy present our LCAP. Um, I want to thank her, our ED services team, the parents, teachers, classified staff who are all part of our um, parent advisory committee who helped draft it. Um it's just this monumental task and like we see the end product or we'll see the end product tonight, but really the the year-long work that went into it um is pretty amazing what we developed on the back side. So Stacy, thank you everyone who worked with you, thank you. Um he asked earlier, what's the LCAP? So you're going to find out in about 15 minutes. Um, every summer we get new updates from from LEO or from the California Department of Education. So, this
023year was just like every other year we have new updates. So, I want to thank Daryl for heading up the learning continuity plan in case we ever have to go into a school closure type situation. We have plans in place. But it wasn't just Daryl. It was again the services team, our site principles who all came together and came up with a plan that really supports our students. So, thank you to Darl and the team. And then finally, um another agenda item tonight, we will be looking at or hopefully adopting our reading difficulties risk screener. Um which is a mouthful to say. Um Amy Gerling did all the heavy lifting. Like our names are kind of next to hers, but really it's Amy who did all the work. Um Amy and a group of teachers,
024both Jen Ed and Sped and a number of parents, um were all part of this committee. And so it is an exciting time for ED services just because of the work we get to do. But yes, thank you and thank you from my team. Wonderful. Wonderful. We look forward to uh the presentations here in a moment. Um we do not have any updates from human resources this evening and uh so let's go ahead and move towards our board member comments this evening. We will start with member. Thank you, President. I just have um a couple of short comments. Uh first, welcome. Uh we're really looking forward to working with you as our new student board member. Um like we said, give us your insights throughout the year. Uh first I want to compliment and thank
025all of our um schools who prepared either a promotion or graduation this year. Every ceremony we went to reflected um was a really great reflection of their school and what makes each of our schools unique. Um and I want to thank our administrators for organizing those events and they they just ran like clockwork. It was like we're going to get this done in this amount of time and they did. Um, and I want to thank all the students speakers. They were, you know, from our elementary kids students to our Oak students to our high school uh, students. All the students did. Congratulations to all the students. They just did such a great job of speaking that it's hard to speak in front of that many people, especially at the high school. There were at least
0262,000 people in those stands, plus the ones on on tour, but they really shared their thoughts and they they made it very personal. I really admire all those students who could get up and speak with such grace. It was just they did great. Um secondly, this year's really tested our district. Um our strength as a district and we faced some moments of deep loss. Uh we weathered a destructive windstorm that affected many of our staff. Uh we navigated the aftermath of the local fires. And yet through all of that, our community really showed incredible resilience this year. And I want to thank our leadership from Dr. Kuna uh with the support of our cabinet um our district staff, our site administrators and our union leadership. Um we kept moving forward and we ended the year
027on a positive. This was a tough year. In fact, a lot of us just wanted to skip to 2026 and be done with 2025. But thank you to all of you for getting us to this point. And um last thing is that our new stadium was just a beautiful location for Oak's promotion, the high school graduation. Um I really I think people are really enjoying seeing the progress. There's cranes all there's cranes at one end and think and shot foot at the other end being worked on. And um and as the school year ended, our students really continued to make us proud. Um and they really proved that Temple City has the most outstanding students around. So that's it. Thank you so much. very next uh um end of the school year was very busy
028but um I feel very fortunate that I'm able to participate in all the different activities that go on at the schools um and join in all the celebrations at the promotions and the graduations and I tried to I try to to as many as possible because I do want the students and the staff to know that um that I really do appreciate what they do and I'm really proud of everything that everyone does. So, for the last couple weeks of school, I went to the Oak Pops concert, the drumline showcase, the senior send off, uh the Temple City High School Pops concert, the Emperor Patriotic Assembly, uh the Temple City High School signing ceremony, the Cloverly Open House, our ATP graduation, the uh Cloverly Multicultural Program, Cloverly Dance uh Showcase, Senior Sunset, Longdot the TCLA
029graduation, Cloverly Emperor Oak promotions, uh the Temple City High School uh graduation, and the Miss Temple City um program. And I have to say I'm kind of going through withdrawals right now because I feel like I don't know what to do with myself. But again, I'm very blessed to be able to attend all those. And I wish everybody a good summer and I'm looking forward to the beginning of the school year and get getting to do all the fun things again. Thank you so much for sharing. Um boy, uh you both covered everything. That's that's wonderful. I really appreciate it because you know I mean it goes without saying that um what we do here is special and this community that we belong here is very special. Um and equally of course uh together working
030collaboratively. Um, personally, this is, and I will say it in public, the best board of education group that I personally work with. I appreciate all of you uh for your support and, you know, allowing me to fumble through some of the agenda items from time to time. Uh, but at the end of the day, I think, um, you know, uh, it's exciting to see our graduating seniors in particular. I'm so curious what they're going to do next. and and it's such a proud moment and and being on that field for the promotion and graduation seemed quite surreal. It really did. And it just, you know, it epitomizes the hard work that this district has really put itself through to provide this environment, this experience for all the students. And I I personally so uh everyone
031have a wonderful summer. Uh please enjoy it. I know it's brief and as Rich had said, you know, what summer? What summer? Yes, this is true because because I've got two cars to get to Texas. So, but uh it's, you know, we won't have it any other way. So, thank you so much uh for everything to everyone community. Uh next, we have our very first uh student board member comment from uh Xavier. Hi. Um I want to say thank you guys so much. I'm super excited to be part of the board. Um, I do have a couple comments. Um, I was also at the graduation for ASB and it was super exciting to see like how far the stadium has come from being like completely demolished to now almost a fully complete stadium. So, that
032was really cool. And, um, we do have so many different graduates. Um, a couple I know very personally. Um, we have going people going to PCC um, CSU, um, all the UC's, University of the Pacific, Washington State University, Pacific University, Boston University, and we even have a couple IV leagues, which is super exciting, such as like Tiffany Fan and CG going to Brandon Yale. So, that's super exciting. And then I know a lot of our performing arts groups, they're starting to like start preparing for all their um performances. Like I know Oak Oak Avenue Auxiliaries team, they had their UG UDA camp uh this past week. So that was super exciting. And I know Coro actually has a practice tomorrow. Yeah. So it's super exciting to see all our performing arts groups. Thank you so
033much for sharing. Um next we have Thank you. Um I normally don't like to echo your comments, but uh it is something that needs to be shared. So uh I I agree with member Sne in the fact that you know I thought we started off our school year really high. Uh you know, everybody was in good spirits and and I thought we got off on the right foot. Um and then we had some difficult times during the the course of the school year, but felt like we ended it as well. Um, and I saw a lot of happy uh teachers, students. Some might think that they were happy because it was summer break, but I'm going to choose to believe that it was really just happy for another successful school year. Um, and I look
034forward to seeing everybody again. Uh, and I won't say soon. I hope everybody has a restful break. Um, we do have a decent amount of time. I 10 weeks before we actually start. Um, we're down to nine or eight and a half. But, uh, you know, I I do think summer is a good opportunity for students and staff to just kind of rest and rejuvenate and and I am looking forward to another positive year uh next year hopefully with not so many challenges. Um, I want to thank our M grounds and custodial crews uh for the work that they did uh at the end of the school year. Like when you look at the setup we had at our elementary sites and then what we had at Oak and or what we had for Oak
035and then for the high school um on top of some of the other activities that took place. They really hustled. Um, and it was it was a lot of work and I appreciate uh the work that they put in to make sure that our students had everything that they needed uh for you know um things that I I hope will be me or positive memories for them. Um and then finally I wanted to say thank you to Anthony and Connie um for really just kind of dealing with my lunacy in a sense. um you know, impossible timelines at at realistically um and even, you know, the the changes and everything else that uh we had to go through to make sure that this stadium was done. Um in less than a year uh to have
036uh graduation and and really understanding uh and sharing the uh the sense of importance for seniors to be able to be on that field. Um particularly with all of the things that they had to deal with with not having a field uh for you know the entire school year. And so um you know Connie and and Anthony share uh you know my desire to to have a project that our community can be proud of. Um and I don't And you know, Anthony deals with a lot of the day-to-day uh at the site uh making sure that things are happening, keeping me informed. Um and Connie behind the scenes, I don't think anybody realizes, you know, with all the work that's being done, there's a lot of bills that have to be paid. Um and she
037has to also navigate the cash flow. Uh making sure that we have enough cash to not just pay for the bills of the stadium, but also our regular bills. Um, and you know, the work to really kind of do this refinance of the bond and and sell series D to make sure we can complete the project because we we bit off more than we could chew, I think, at one point, but we knew we were confident. Uh, I was confident. Um, you full confidence. But I do appreciate working with both of them on this project. That's it. Thank you so much. Couldn't agree more. All right. Next, we have written communications. We do have one uh and re we received a letter from the county of Los Angeles's uh board of supervisors. Um uh they
038approved u district's request uh and adopted the enclosed resolution authorizing the county to levy taxes in an amount sufficient to pay the uh principle of and interest uh on uh the district's election of 2012 general obligation bonds measure S series D. So we really appreciate uh the uh county board of supervisors for All right. Okay. Next, we have the uh discussion information u item section of our uh meeting this evening. Items that the board would like to discuss or information presented to the board. These items do not require board action. Xavier LCAP. All right. So, we have Ed services um uh here to receive the 2526 local control and accountability plan uh and receive the 2526 budget overview for parents. Stacy said she would like to do this. All right. Good evening board members, Dr.
039Kuna, our community members, and our our teachers. Thank you for being here this evening for our LCAP presentation. Tonight, myself and Connie will be sharing with you the local control and accountability plan and budget overview for parents. Uh I want to sh with you that the presentation that I'm about to do is pretty dense um with lots of information on the slides because it is a 100page document. So to try to summarize it in just a few slides is always a challenge. So I'm planning not to read the slides because we'll be here for an hour um but planning to give you just a good overview of what's been happening over the course of the past year to land on the plan that you are looking at today. Uh the plan is available online for
040the community to be able to view. Uh the beginning of the plan starts with the budget overview for parents, which is about three pages of information that Connie will be sharing. And then the next page four through 100 is all about uh the actions and services that we're going to be offering for our students in Temple City next year. So this uh particular plan is uh imperative that we get input from our educational partners. And so as we had heard earlier, thanks to our DAC parent committee as well as our pack committee um group of parents met numerous times throughout the year to be able to Um, but we also had student advisory councils at each of the school sites. So, all of our school sites had about 15 students that um gave us some
041input as well as surveys that we pushed out to the community. So, we had three different surveys uh that went out to our staff, parents, and students. We held numerous meetings throughout the year to be able to get some input. Um sifted through many comments as you can see there. And um Every year we continue to have more and more families participate um either in the committees or within the surveys that we put out and in multiple languages which is also really great to see. Last year I shared with you that the committees worked on new LCAP goals. Um last year we did a full rewrite of the plan um for three years. So this is year two. We did not revise goals. So these goals are holding strong um for us related to student
042outcomes, engagement and school climate. And within the LCAP, in order for us to decide what actions we want to provide to our schools, we have to look at data. And so within the plan, there are pages and pages of various metrics that we look at to be able to measure if we are making progress um in the right direction or if there's things that we need to do to be able to u maybe enhance some programs in our school. So just wanted to point out a couple related to go one that are that's up on the screen. You can see two yellow areas. These are our glow areas. Um we actually made some progress on the California where now in English language arts and math we al we now score blue which is the highest
043in the color of rainbows of how our students are doing on uh our CASP testing and wanted to give a great shout out to the e coordinators and teachers across the district for the number of students that reclassified this school year uh we actually increased by 12% which is significant for our reclassification So these are our students who are English learners who have now um been able to uh show English proficiency and this is because we were able to do a much better job monitoring using ECAP money for our elevation platform and so there were a number of students who were duly identified as English learners in special ed and we were able to reclassify those. Two metrics listed here that we did want to just call attention to as a grow which is not
044new to you. We talked previously about this at my midyear report on the dashboard. We did score orange for college and career indicator. Um this has to do a lot with our CTE pathways that we offer at the high school where they look to make sure that students who start a pathway complete a pathway and we get points so to speak for students who complete that pathway. But at the high school, we find that students will maybe take one course within CTE, but won't take the full pathway, which is what is bringing us to the orange color. So, without going through all of the numbers and all of the details, um, in rule one, there are, um, a number of actions that you'll see across two separate slides. Right now, you're seeing actions one through
045nine. These did not get revised from last year. These are all a rollover. Where you see the green numbers, this is where we made an adjustment or an increase. So green means an increase. Red, you will see a decrease. Um, but I can assure you that any reds that you see, it's mostly about an adjustment in salaries, not us cutting programs um in any places. So here you can see that there is an increase in our common core materials because when you look at our estimated actuals, we did spend more we had planned, but we actually planned for the previous year for our science adoption. So that's why you're seeing such a high number there. Um, and when you go to the next slide, you can see the continuation of full one actions and services.
046Here's where you start to see some red, but once again, it's mostly related to an adjustment to actually compensate for the salary cost that we're seeing associated with the staff that's paid out of those particular actions and services. But I did want to point out um 1.18. This is a significant increase from 12,000 to 38,000. This is something really nice that we're going to do at the high school next year. Um any student that falls into the category of English learners, low income or foster, we will be paying for their AP their first AP exam at the high school. We don't want to have any barriers uh for our lowincome and e family foster families to be able to have access to that test. So, our LCAP dollars will cover that cost. And this is
047a summary of all of the enhancements that we're planning to make um related to academics in goal one. Again, I'm not going to read all of these, but again, you can see the shout out to the VAPA programs here on this slide that we're going to continue to enhance those across the district with our new Prop 28 money. Um, and especially continue to grow at the elementary level and we're continuing to um get excited about our dual language immersion program and our multilingual programs that we're offering across the district. So, see that summary slide again. This is for goal two. Um again, just wanted to point out one highlight which is our California healthy kids survey results. Um when asking our families if they are kept informed about school activities, we had 96 97% of
048our families indicate that they feel well informed um about what's happening within our schools, which is great. We also heard lots of good comments with um within the surveys about parent square. And then an area for growth is the student group attendance. When we take a look at how our homeless and our foster students are doing related to average days absent, you can see that those numbers are pretty high. So that's something that we want to continue to improve on when it comes to chronic absenteeism for those two. So now we get into the details related to LCAP 2. Once again, not much change that you're seeing on these slides, which is a testament to all work we did last year that our committees and everybody kind of validated we're on the right track and
049we're offering the right programs for our students within our schools. When we get to this slide though, you'll see that there are two new actions listed at the bottom that we are adding this year. We found that we really needed to have who is a floater for our district. So adding some staff to be able to have that extra person really to help make sure that students are healthy and coming to school. Um we are also adding the professional development and language acquisition supports for our LTE which is our long-term English learners. These are students who have been English learners for six or seven years and they should be fluent. They should be reclassifying. So we really want to try to get that number down. And then once again, this is the summary slide of
050all of the top priorities that we plan to do for goal two, highlighting that we uh plan to have an increased amount of family engagement opportunities. Our parent workshops were well received at some school sites, so we want to continue to expand that. And then for goal three, this is the summary slide once again for the metrics. giving a shout out to our site principles related to suspension. We were able to move from a yellow tile to a green tile. So that means less suspensions were happening at the school sites. Um but an area where we want to continue to grow is in our data. We keep seeing lower percentages when asking students if they have one staff member that they can go to to talk to someone or to get help. Um when we
051do our Kids always seem to be able to mention someone that they feel connected to on campus. So I often wonder whether or not this is the wording of the question. I think maybe kids have more than one staff member, not just one. Not real sure, but this data points continues to be a little lower than we'd like. And then finally, these are the actions and services for goal three. Again, the changes listed here are mostly related to to changes in salaries for the particular staffing, but we did decide to add some additional monies related to PBIS support for our school sites as they continue to receive awards. We want to make sure that we're being supportive to keep those initiatives going. So, we did um increase that pop to support the sites and also
052again once again our summary slide for up andcoming things related to BU. Uh we're excited for upgraded play spaces for our TK students for next year. I know Amy and Anthony have been working closely to get some work done this summer. So excited for those things to happen in the future. So this slide just summarizes all the really wonderful programs that we have to be able to support our English learner students who are experiencing homelessness or our foster youth within our district. Um, and it validates a lot of wonderful things that the committees gave input into to make sure that these programs are things that we offer and prioritize throughout our district. So, at this time, I'm going to go ahead and pass it on to Connie and she's going to give you some information
053about the budget. So, this slides show that how we budget and revenue for the 256 is also a part of our budget option. So the revenue actually is mainly is four big bucket but the top two we basically separate because those are the LCF total is 75% of the entire revenue it's a base base funding and concentration base funding is based on the noral students in the TK third grade four to six 7 to 8 9 to 12 based on each grade adjustment including in the pera. So the supplemental is based on the high kids and four industry category is English learner low income students family and their use. So those are the funding is around $5 million and there is total of 7%. So the federal funding is all title title one title title
054two title four this for 25 26 we did not budget time because we heard that there's potential cut for the title three in our district two time program I will um explain more detail in my um budget plantation so the state funding state funding is um around 30% and local I want to clarify with the board about. So the state guideline is when we do the specializing normally we the form is holding in the local it's pass the local area and then send to us but in accounting wise is the local local revenue. So the n over because actually 7.5% although you guys know that not enough but should be part of state funding. So um again 88.7 million total revenue and this is the breakdown. So how we support the And then what is
055the total spending on the district total expenditure? We project that the district will be on the 95% of the expenditure in our budget and then 48.2 million which is 5.5% of total of expenditure budget will be um spent on the LCAP. um go one, go two, go three as Stacy mentioned and this is a detail cost each budget. So this comparison for the 2425 is 25.6. So the um total budget for cap this including every the federal state and the district on the the goals. So um we estimate that 2425 the expenditure will be um lower the notification So, as you can see on this slide, uh there's next steps and things we've already accomplished. LCAP advisory committee meetings have been happening throughout the school year. The draft that you're looking at tonight, um our
056pack and our DAC received previous versions of this draft and were able to give input as well. And so, here we are tonight at the public hearing for the LCAP. And at our next meeting, we will move to board adoption. And so, anyone who would like to make comments on the LCAP, um, there is a section within our website. Here's the QR code to be able to look at the document and give us any input before the next. Fantastic. Wow. Thank you so much. Again, you know, I can't, you know, emphasize enough how much work goes into this and, you know, we truly appreciate it's it's quite intricate and, you know, even more amazingly, as you said, the way you presented it to us where uh not just for us, but for the general public
057and make it really palatable and and and understandable what we're looking at. So, we thank you for that. Does my fellow board members have any pages down? I love that. It's amazing. Good stuff. Taking it all in. This is really good stuff. Okay, next for the other uh item on our discussion agenda in business services uh receive proposed budget for 2526. Okay, so you are up. Okay, here it is. That's important. So um first of all um thank you. I know it this is a routine um presentation but it's also required by code and that's what we are doing. So um tonight I for the adult budget I will um touch couple of areas. So here the area is our requirement. what is the um governor's may revision which is really the guideline for how
058we develop this budget and what is new compare uh with the 2425 what is really new in in our school district and then the what is highline and their multi-year projection and this is our beautiful brand new stadium so um Leo sent us a bullet 7001. Um this board become a guideline for our all the district uh in the legal um 80 plus district how we prepare the budget and how we uh submit the documentation to the legal. So deadline is July 1st and there said although 2526 the cap for the reserve is no longer triggered. However, it still require the board to approve the if any district decide to commit some funding require board approval. So we when the state has the cap 10% cap of the reserve we did the um formal um
059border resolution with the detail what in the commitment so for the consistency purpose um we will do still do the border resolution so it's very clear comparable to what we did about resolution before instead of stuck in the lang language so so this is for transparency and this for the requirement This is also the requirement for adequate requirement for any district who the reserve is more than minimum requirement which is 3% require openly show the um public how much is above the 3% reserve why the district want to keep the 3% reserve. So we will uh explain in a later presentation. This is the budget timeline as well as the budget cycle and Uh um normally this is a documentation because this is the budget cycle the uh the required uh report is is routine
060every year we doing that but I personally feel that this year we will definitely do something different this is no longer just mainly is the budget cycle so the budget cycle starting with the board um the today's public hearing and then the um June 25th is a board of official adopt 2526. So for us because of where the um budget environment we operate right now is the big uncertainty. So we really need to take this every step of opportunity revisit review our budget the situation. So for example the adult budget the budget that we prepared a week ago and then as of right now maybe some information is already out of date. So we are starting look at the budget information what is there any uh information changes we're going to jump in immediately. So
061there will be the budget revision as required and we will do earlier within 45 days the state adopt budget we will require adop revise our budget too. We we're already starting the process when the um another actual we starting the um prepare and finish digital finished and submit to the county in in September then this will give us another vehicle we look at the what is the carryover so we starting budget carryover and at the meantime we'll also adjust our budget accordingly. So then when the governor um preliminary budget for the 25 26 27 is the code change again. So we're going to revisit again of course the first interimm but the for the budget wise the state guideline between the an actual the parl there were not major changes for the budget guideline but
062we will do our do our due diligent look at what is our our own operation changes. So the the second in term is the sky is failing hope not but hope is not reality really in this um environment. So we need we also need to do another um the budget turn up. So then L cap go back another cycle again to prepare starting the process versus um Stacey and I we will do diff different work and she do hers and I will do mine and then M revision again is any major changes in revision and what is our budget looks like in 26 27. So um budget made revision. So um although we enjoying a little bit good news for the state revenue for the big three big threes for the 2425 but the future
063is not that bright because the state project that 256 oh 26 27 and all the next three years there is the future budget problem and the and the the national Analyst office say they just basically confirm. So confirm confirm we have problem. Basically this not confirm that the number is different basically confirm the problem. We have a a revenue problem and we also have the expenditure problem as statewide because state right now project the Medicare um far over spend basically um overspend compared with our projection. So what the governor may review say budget reduction through different than state level spending cut and then the funding for the K2 14 defer which mean is that suppose our June aortionment they would not pay us until in July because the to state is a different budget year
064it's July is 206 20 uh 25 26 six but which mean that um the the funding from state the district will not receive until July but lucky um as of right now we don't have a cash um cash flow problem for some school district who has cash flow problem they basically have to borrow the money to make the payroll if the state did not funing us and then some of the Lego school district they are talking about join the Lego track so which mean they do have a borrow of money and one of district is in the in the area which I live. So um the rainy day um money gone basically that is part of the strategy the governor used to part of the bud um um budget cut is with the reading funding.
065Sorry, I guess I think I messed up. Go back the other way. Okay. So, next one. So, what is new to our district? Um, what the I was studying from JPA. So we did some accounting changes and uh at this time I do believe that this is the change is is a benefit for the district. So um normally the JPA we have the around 14 school district in the neighborhood belong to the western Gabriel JPA and for the works compensation and popular liability and each each year when the JPA um approved the premium each district premium for the next school year which is happen to this Friday which mean part of premier including the the district safety credit which mean is that for us we will estimate we will pay $85,000 for the next year
066for the safety credit the district actually have a have a choice we can uh including $85,000 as a part of the 25 currency premium renew we send it to bank of JPA under the TCUD account what this mean is every time the district um we normally what we did is we um purchased the safety um equipment. We um as a contract language, we we gave the ammo staff the booths for each school year. And then what we did is we use a safety credit to to we pay in front of um we get a reimbursement for the for the for the staff and then we claim from our safety credit. Um this kind of mass is um is workable in good time and then it may not function where cost benefit right now because um
067instead of we ask the JPA for safety credit we just do by ourself what we doing is we're going to set aside for $85,000 set aside in our district budget and then every time when we need to use it we just pay from our pocket. So by doing this that if we really need we can temp temporary access and access this dharma instead of go to the ask JPA. We had um couple of school district one of school district in the east of us other district west of us they already start starting ask withdraw the safety credit in in the in the JPS bank. So, so um I figure out this is a more um cost effective for we doing this. We are budget internally. We still set aside but it's more cost cost effective.
068We are moving forward starting 25 26. Yeah, Mr. Do you have any question? I I may not explain to you well. um you know a lot of new stuff I'm not I think probably not familiar with the safety credit but yeah so safety credit is is option the the district set aside uh for the safety purpose safety related cost so so it is district money and then it will use for the additional discretion so so the the method use is we give the um we send the money to the um JPA and then when we use it we asking for it but uh as right now because of the budget situation and then for the um operation wise it is more cost effective we just keep it inside we separated the county we we monitor
069by ourself instead of asking JPA if we need it so yeah and it's it's not so much the the cost effectiveness is the flexibility. So, think of it a lot like with OPED. So, every year we put money aside for OPED. We have the ability to put OP money into a trust. Uh but once you do that, you don't have the same ability to access those funds in the event of emergency. So, by not putting this money into the JPA, it it gives Connie the flexibility to be able to withdraw the money in the of an emergency. We still have to earmark it. Um but we do have some flexibility should times get difficult. How much are you talking about? So u nor normally the um JPA is um recommended by percentage. So it's among
070all the um JPA district um the percentage based on ADA. So um right now our district our 88 percentage among JP is around the 6.9%. So so 60 point 6.9% equivalent to $85,000 for the for the 25 26 school year. Yeah. So the next one is um I mentioned earlier the title two we have two program is English one is English learner when is an immigrant program. So as of right now adult budget we do not budget the new money coming for 2526. But when we close the um book for 2425, we estimate that we we may have a carryover um um to the from 2425 to 2526. So once we uh uh we have a um exact dollar amount, we're going to budget according to u do through the budget revision after the book
071is closed. Okay. So um the indirect cost I'm sorry but the title That fund. It's the the federal fund. The federal fund. I know. But what does it pay for for the pay for the the service for the English learner and immigrant? Um Stacy, you want to give more? Our title three money is a very small pot of money in comparison to the money that we receive for supplemental ECAP money and it pays for things like supplies at the school sites to support EL instruction. Um it does pay for consultant contract related to professional development and um also a separate contract for peer mentoring. But if the money cut. We anticipate that we're still going to be able to continue to fund those programs through LCAP supplemental, which is one of the reasons why we
072added the new item that you saw tonight that was language acquisition for LES so that we put it in the LCAP so that we don't if we don't have title three, the LCAP can still pick up those programs. So, we're not cutting anything for our Yeah. So, this is a covered rent. Um so indirect cost so our indirect cost and this um for 25 26 is 6.2%. This indirect cost is um compared with prior years is a little bit um lower but this is not normal. Our indirect cost for whatever reason is a little little bit higher. So we adjust how the um expenditure was was coding. So 6.5 is the normal indirect cost because most of school district their indirect cost is range from um five to um to 8%. So so every year
073is it will change again. So the uh leg legal fee and since Dr. Kuna join us uh we have experienced the the decrease for the legal fee and there uh it's it's in the three area which is the the the board also um do not use much legal fee um compared with before and the superintendent office and the um human resource office. So because we did not use that much so we will reduce our budget for this area and this is our um the preschool contribution. The preschool program we starting building facility for the pres um program in the end of 2122 school year the district contributes $350,000 to um do the facility and purchase the supplies and the textbook. So the actually we starting the 22 23 is the first school year we starting
074in enroll kids and since then we contribute $200,000 each year. So, as of right now, the the program has um healthy and in fun balance is um around the $500,000 carry over from the the beginning of the 2425. And I confident say that we probably have around um little bit over $400,000 carryover when we end of this school year. The program did um operate a deficit. So, so um with this 4 000 a little bit over $400,000 the the level of deficit said it will allow the program can run couple of years. So because of that the u we will not um starting 25 26 we're not going to contribute $200 each year because the preschool is is the preschool self um support fund and this is for the general ed pieces the program have
075to be used uh have to be self-s support. This is our enrollment projection. So um I including the um 1819 is the normal year before the pandemic and the projection for a projection until 2728. So um we 2425 our capress number is 5,298. It is higher since I joined the the district. So as of today, our pre-enrollment for the 2526 is 5,217. So um although it is still not at the 2425 level yet, but we still have a couple of months before the school started. So um if the the today's pre-enrollment for the 256, we can compare with the 1920 we are 400 students down. So, so the decline in normal it is impact um all the school district in um California especially the coast coast area school district and then we are fortunate that
076we do in the in the last three three years including 2425 our enrollment is is increased we hopefully that we will continue um keep that trend so this is the um revenue projection. This is compare with the um 2425 um estimate actual and then um I want to um bring that the revenue projection we continue our conservative um practice for for the budget and in this doesn't mean that when we end of 25 26 the the budget the revenue budget will be at at the same same level because the budget is did not including the car carryover overs. So once we close both the we add carry over it will be a little bit higher. So we project the LCF of higher and there last year the the reason is too because uh we have
077high enrollment we have high ADA. So we were enjoying the high ADA and then little bit additional cora. So um the federal revenue and I mentioned that we did not including the title 32 program. So it is um it is a little bit lower the um last year estimate this year's estimate actual and also the state revenue we have three win time funding state um extended revenue we have educated fantasies grant art music instructional um instruction material program and the um emergency learning block grant emergency learning block grant at the end of 2425 we spend all because of new requirement and there we are spending down the um art and music instructional material program educated effective grant which the expiration date is end of 2526. So so this will be low because of the spending
078requirement and then local revenue is the reason local revenue is too we budget interest low. We uh we project that interest rate will steal jobs and then we budget interest rate low and then for the rental income we did not budget the one time rental uh fees because the one time rental fee cannot be predict. So we just um adjust our re revenue uh once we have this is how the the um general fund the entire cost um for um the budget and then the part of the so look at the the graphic is our personnel cost is um 70% of a total budget and then our non operation non personnel cost is 25% of our budget. So when we talk about the challenge budget time we will look at the certain area and then
079is there any way we can um you know close monitor the operation cost um including the legal fee and then the certain part of the operation cost we may not able to for example utility so that if Edison and they can they keep increase the the co cost there it just unfortunately we just can't can't so this is the multi-p projection assumption we use it and this the uh assumption we actually use the 20 the main revision and then the assumption did decrease from the government governor's in January 25*6 preliminary budget so for the cola three all three years from 25 26 and they all decrease. So so this drop from 2.46 to 2.3 this drop from 3.2 52 to 3.02 this drop from 3.53 to 3.42 42. So all the code is is decreased
080and then look at the the lottery money the lottery money or the all lot of money is same and their mandatory block grant and the for um T K to8 and 9 to 12 the the per 8 is all job. So so basically this is part of um maybe the budget cut it's all compared with budget per 80 is all decreased. The only good news is the car person employee rate. So compared with the 25 26 prelim budget which is re in January the rate for for the 256 for 26 2.7 it's jump from 27%. So so the in January this rate is a little bit higher. So this will help us the um uh the employee benefit uh mandated co cost for the pension plan in the um employee benefit section and then the
081funding ADA um that's why I mentioned to the board we talk about the LCF increase because our funding ADA is is is increased funding ADA is higher than our P28 because of the loading threeear This is our multi-year projection u for this year including the um next three years and there uh we we bud we budget the uh lower in and the federal state and and the low local except the LCFF because of the um the we will benefit a threeyear rolling average for for the ADAS and there Um the we sorry salary sal sorry sal sorry sal sorry sal sorry sal sorry sal sorry salary we also including the um necessary staffing for the um new me emerging program when we um the um grade is promote next year so we need to add
082more classes so we add staffing and we also including the step on the c the operation cost um I cannot ask the good timing the 24 25 year is the last year we paid off the p um several years ago before I joined the district we had we offer the district offer the um retirement incentive plan so 2425 is the last year we paid off the fiveyear plan so that's that's why it will help us budget that's why we have um the operating cost is decreased and then um the May April of 2027, it was the last payment for our um the equipment room we took um back to 2013. So that is also help our operation um expense because that cost is job and and then that cost is around $400,000,000. So um we
083are deficit spending but um some of defense spending is actually categorical categorical program. So so which mean when the program um end we have to spend the the funings. So um this is other funding including the um our um ASB fun is very strong and I'm very proud and what our um kids you know the the program itself um I think the the the SB director my kid what what his work it is so it's it's very strong and the adult education fun and we also project positive and then the before and after school program still um going strong and um the um funding. We we do plan some um investment and for our program when we increase our um improve our program, we budget more for for the um um purchase of the food
084and then we also um budget some um investment for the um kitchen um some kitchen improvement. The um the 21 again we budget conservative. We know that the bounty of sale is closed the first week of July and U there will be $12 million um coming. So we budget $11 million once extra cash in our account then we will we will revise that budget. So we are we are um budget that we're going to spend most of the most of the money when the high school project finish um around the um December of 2025 this year. and also the um capital facility. Um I um in our sum exact summary I um showed the last um five to six year for our develop fee for board information and there 2420 um is the year is
085one of the second highest develop collection. Um we are collect over $653,000 because of this just um year we have such great year. So we have been considered we still budget $300,000 the average the develop collective during the year. So this is the uh the next slides reflect the the two um board agenda. This the one is reporting for the um access um the access reserve. So the minimum requirement reserve is 3% for the combined general fund um expenditure budget. So in the next um three years we each year we budget around $2.8 million. So our um unassigned assigned the total is around um the first three years is $4 million. The last is $2.9 million million dollar. So we do have a little bit over um access to the minimum requirement. So um $1.9
086million probably just two two weeks payroll. So that's why it it is um necessary in the need to make sure that we have more than minimum reserve for our operations. This is the the G50 for the um board resolution for the commit fund and the detail commit fund is very consistent what we did before and and then the 2% um board policy uh requirement for the additional reserve this is the air cap every year when we close the book we're going to do um um upgrade what is the actual um carryovers and then the um post the op Dr. Kuna mentioned a bit earlier about the the made a decision years ago and then this is the health insurance district employee bargaining union pool we have to set aside and the rest of it we
087just set aside to u to cover the um cost need so uh what is our our challenges and I don't think uh uh it is our challenge actually all the district has challenges and some school district probably have more challenges compared uh with us So I think this picture itself um already show what is challenge it is it is the um the dollar the dollar bills have in the water and then it can getting better when we don't have any water and it can be getting worse if the dollar bills until in in under the water. So this budget we did build some flexibility and resilience to address potential um budget challenge. It is we need a close monitor our budget to make sure that whether the resilience we build in the budget is enough
088to to um cover the potential state budget um changes or downfalls. The next step is this certain this this slice the next step is required there certain things Lego will do they will do they will ask a question when after the board budget on June 25th we will submit all the documentation to the Lego they will ask additional clarification and then we um we will um they will issue a letter sent to the board um for after the review result As of right now, we as a district, we self-certify that the district were able to meet our financial obligation um starting with 2526 and then then the next three years and this is what uh we're going to to do and then we're going to budget revision and official budget revision 45 days and we
089the work we already started and we're going to work on the y closing and the audit and then school starting on August working. So for those um for those parents take their kids to China or Asian, make sure you they come back come back the week before the school school started. Okay? And they end the f first. Here is what we need to do as a district and then I'm confident that some of the other district probably would will do the same. every count to our um every count if students come to our school in regarding our the learning our instruction as well as our funding because our funding is direct rely on the ADA. ADA is the C time is our kids come come to the come to the school. So so enrollment is
090a starting point then attendance matter. We hope that all the kids come to school and then the state has the attendance recover plan starting next next year and we will definitely use the the purpose of attendance recover plan is allow the district recover the students absentee which mean that the students not only um can attend the attend the summer the study school they they also allow the district to open attendance recovery program during the school day and their EOP money can pay for it. So that is the win-win for the district. So the grant so um we are the district uh we are actively seeking for the different grant available federal state state so that those grant will help help the district for operation including the the cops grant and whether um we will move
091forward. That's the different but this is not only one grant. We probably were looking for another grant and and they cashed $4.5 million and it will help us to replace all all the HVAC. That's that's definitely help our operation because our HVAC is already at the the end of their age and if we don't have grand we have to use our operation cost to pay for it. Yeah. operation. We really need to look at 25% of our budget is spent on nonpersonnel operation. Is there any way we continue look at our operation and save um our um budget and reduce our cost? We need to work on the staffing. We need to tie our staff very close um closely and there um is AI in education and lots lot of pe people use AI learning.
092I do I use a AI to save speed up my PowerPoint preparation preparation. Yeah. So so the AI very can can improve our cost efficiency as well.

Thank you very much. I was going to comment. I love all the uh infographics you have in here. Um, I think it's it's very helpful to
093all of us. U and you know I like to think this that I know that you know we base budget pro projections for the second third year out partly based on our current enrollment at the lower levels I assume. Um but you know I'd like to think that that much like what we saw last year that our numbers are actually going to be heading upwards. So uh and that's that's due to everything that everyone is doing all the services we're providing to our students. Yeah, thank you so much for explaining all of that. Yeah, we did a budget, we continue um budget enrollment decline 50 kids in in the three years. So that is um there's some question and then we really don't know how many kids should have on August 13. So so although
094we are continue promote our school but that just the area we cannot control. So, um I do want to thank my staff and you know u the budget it is very um long process and then this is the first time Veronica did the school district budget. She did the other budget before and then um this last couple weekend we we we work all through the weekend and as a matter of fact she's work um 10:40 p.m. Sunday this past Sunday evening.

Good evening, board president Bell, members of the board, Dr. Executive. Um, tonight the district seeks to approve adoption of resolution approving our upcoming maintenance Hback projects. GSA2 is a list of guidelines or criteria that it will review process and the approval process from PSA and we have partnered
099with a couple engineers on this project to ensure that we meet those criter And like we heard earlier this project coming up is really leadership is doing to try to combat some of this project coming up and that money can be that all the shape grant is awarded in two phases. The first phase we've done under two grants and that has been completed. They have also been approved for the replacement currently that's approved for one of the grantsifies. The other grant that is in review now will take care of high school and longc again. Just to add to that, you know, the engineers take everything on its face, right? So, just for transparency purposes, once they actually get on the roof or they start to remove and reinstall, there may be some unforeseen circumstances that
100could push these projects. We just don't know that yet until we actually do the project. Just want to make sure that everybody's will make a motion to approve this resolution.
