Moving forward, we will be separating out our district and county meetings. Our board will still sit as the county board for our county board meetings.

That's how they have been listed. Uh moving forward, we will be separating out the meetings with a county meeting and then a district meeting at two different times. So we need to the recommendation is to approve the proposed amended schedule of the remaining regular PY board meetings for the remainder of the 25 school year. Any public comment >> where do we find that amended schedule? >> There is a copy of it in public. We can't make comments to public comment. >> So it's public comment not question.

[Music] input in regards to that it is will be posted on our website and attached to our >> Thank you very much. >> I approve the pro proposed amended schedule of the remaining regular PUSD board meetings for the 2025 as presented. Moving on to student achievement. Uh this is for our quarterly reports on our Williams uniform complaints. Um, I can report out that there were no um uniform complaints filed with USD in our June quarterly report under leadership. Missy >> um policy. >> Okay. Yeah, we have two policies um this month. So, policy 6145 extracurricular and co-curricular activities. This is an existing policy. Um but item number four um is something that we've done in past practice but was not word policy. And so that is students

008failing to achieve a 2.0 gradepoint average may be allowed a probationary quarter to meet the district's co-curricular eligibility requirements before being declared ineligible. Um, and then students who are m metriculating from junior high to high school, they'll not be declared ineligible based on their grades received in eighth grade. So, they get a fresh start when they start in high school, even though they're in a combined campus. Like I said, we've been doing this for years, but it's just time to actually make it policy so that we're following our processes correctly. Um, so we are seeking approval to have item number four for policy number 6145. Any public comment in regards to that policy? I approve board policy 6145 with the addition of item four as recommended. Thank you. Um the next one is a big

009one. So this is um this is new board policy that was brought to us in April but we needed more time. Um so this is based on in 2024 AB 3216 and this is the phone free schools act of California. So by July of 2026, we need to adopt a phone free or limited phone um policy throughout all of our campuses. Um and part of that required us to seek uh feedback from our educational partners. And so I sent out a survey um we had 286 responses um from staff and parents. So you could do two options. is one is a limited cell phone policy and then the other one is a no phone no phones in school policy. Um so 55% of our educational partners chose option number two to have phone free schools.

010So um a lot of this is coming due to research that's come out on um it's really becoming distracting for our teachers and our students. We're also experiencing a lot of like safety and security issues by students being able to take pictures or videos and then posting them on social media. Um so um we did a survey of our administrators. 14 out of 15 of them chose option number two as well. Um and so we are seeking approval of option number two. Um and we have and if that is approved we'll have to come up with a process on how we share this with families because bell to bell it would be a phone free school environment for our students. Any public comment any regards to board policy 51218? >> I Yeah. When So when

011would this go in in effect? Like 20 the fiscal year 2026 or >> I mean you're going to start do a policy for your public. I would be super happy to talk to I got it wrong. >> Yeah. >> I was going to ask same thing. I would just state that 100% of the feedback I've received in the Eastern Penis is phone free support for phone free. Thank >> so we are seeking appro approval for option number two for um for 5131.8 new policy. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, I approve board policy 5131.8 eight with option two as recommended. >> That means you will go phone free starting this school year for September. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> I'm sorry. What date did you say would it be? >> First school starts in September. >>

012Okay. >> Because it's it's adopted today. So now we have until the beginning of the school year. So >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you. >> Moving on to our next agenda item. We have fiscal um we have a public hearing of the PUSD 2025 20226 revised budget. I will open the public hearing for the PUSD 2526 revised budget at 508 full support. >> Thanks. Yes, we can. I will close the public hearing for the PUSD 2526 revised budget at 508. All right. Next, we have the proposed revised um budget presentation. Yes. So glad we got power back because this all would have been verbal would have been as fun. All right, so this is theformational item of the revised proposed budget for the 2526 school year for Plumus Unified School District. So why are

013we here? We received a letter from CDE um requesting some additional revisements to our adopted budget to be adopted by 725. They specifically outlined three changes they'd like to see. These changes were requested because of how our funding our our ending fund balance was looking in 2425. And we had enough cash with about $10 million ending in current year. And with that happening, it was best for us to make the adjustments we could to be compliant in current year so we could start next year off of a truer picture of where we were laying. So the main things they pointed out here are going to be the transfer of fund 17 which was our special reserve fund. Okay. you had planned for that to happen in 2425, but now it it has happened before June

01430th of 2526. Okay. The second thing was to repay back oops that's repay back fund 35 and fund 67 which were interd district uh due to due fund uh transfers for our cash flow. What this means is it's like a temporary loan from other funds that we have to keep our cash flows afloat. um they're normally required to be paid back, not normally, they are required to be paid back in 120 days. We did not meet that deadline and so with the adjustments of the budget, we were able to get these repaid before June 30th of 20125. The second adjustment is adding um balance sheet items to our cash flow report. And what balance sheet items does is it allows us to show anything that's happening um paying bills in current year. Even though they

015end up in the books for prior year, it still affects our cash, right? Same thing with acrals. If we receive cash for a grant, let's say, we can report it in the prior year, but the cash is still actively received in this year. So, what we did for this adjustment is we actually took a three-year average of acrruals that happened um starting from 22 23 and did an average of what those three years looked like to allow it to give the best information we could since we're not 100% sure what approval actually will look like at this time as we finish up cleaning up the books, but we wanted it to be able to explain why we use these acral numbers. So, those are the three that were outlined in the CDE um the CDE

016letter for our revised budget. The best part about the revised budget and the reason why we did this is the CD is very kind to us and allowing us to adjust our original budget, which means that our SAS forms and other reports will actually show this moving forward through each reporting period. If we would have waited for a 45day revision, that's only informationational. And if we would have waited for first interim, it would have been too late for us to make these adjustments. and we would have seen a discrepancy from our adopted in the system to actually what was happening. So by allowing us to have this extended period that's why we are titling this the revised adopted budget because it will be replacing the current adopted budget. Um people liked us last time so

017I'm going to keep on bringing back some stuffs because every opportunity is an opportunity to learn. Um, so we have our acronyms that are used often when we talk about budget and any financials, which is our ADA, which is our average daily attendance, which is how we are funded outside of our property taxes. Okay, so butts and seats is what we call that. COLA is our cost of living adjustment, which also is applied to our LCFF funding, and that is provided to us by the state each year. LCAP is our local control accountability plan. This allows local control from um unrestricted dollars that is provided to us. It's important and is required to be adopted with our LCAP which you already adopted. LCFF is the counterpart to the LCAP where this is how we are

018able to take those unrestricted funds and it's the calculator that tells us the grace grant adjustments ADA and any add-ons that are applied for the current year. multi-year projection or my we are required to show current year expenditures and also two subsequent years. SAS forms which you'll see in the bud budget packet itself is used a lot. SAS forms is our standardized accounting code structure system is how every school in California is required to report their um their their financials. This is actually amazing so that people can compare right in financial systems. We also have our UPC and our UP. These are both the calculations of our high need populations of foster youth, homeless, and lowincome. This is important because it it increases our supplemental and concentration grants that occur in our LCFF. It is

019the money we are required to show how we're spending in our LCAP. So, they tie boom back together. It also is how we um change our financial system like financial allocations from like ELOP which is a grant and other grants also use these formulas to help populate allocations. Oh, and UTK transitional kindergarten. It's new enough. I like to put it in there because it's used often. I'll try not to spend too much time here. So SAS required that's the software we're required to report and that's what majority of your budget pocket is included in cash that is actually the money we have in the bank right but budgets is our planned revenue and expenditures all right actuals is when we pay a bill and covered is when we're planning to pay a bill and we

020have a PO written for it and then the two big distinctions here are also unrestricted and restricted funds so unrestricted means that they are normally LCF DFF funds or property taxes that the district's allowed to create discretionary uh spending for. And then restricted means there are tied allowable expenses there, right? We don't get a choice in how we spend it outside of the restrictions that it's given to us. All right, we've been here before, but what's a part of adoption budget? We've got all of our forms for each fund that we have. We have our A form which talks about our our average daily attendance from prior year and current year. We have our cash flow form, our multi-year protection form, our standards and criteria review which is taking all the forms and all the

021information we put into SAS and it says there is a discrepancy between this year and years and here's a threshold here's.5% here's 0.5% and if there is a discrepancy and you meet within that criteria you have to explain why that one's some of the largest forms that are part of this reporting but it's a great if you ever want to know why we have differences between each each And then our certification form which is required to be submitted to CDE certifying that we had all of these components in our budget packet. And then a TRC is just saying that we're passing each requirement within SAX forms. So there's different criterias and standards. U TRC's you can pass you pass withformational only which means here's like a red flag but we're not super you can still

022approve it. We have passed with working um working information with exception required. So you have to provide an explanation of why you you can pass with this explanation and then fail. Fail means you are not passing this right. So why you'll see in our TRC's that there are currently a fatal um which is because we haven't negative fun right so we are certifying a negative um budget. Reminder of where we are in our budget cycle. Always important that we're working in current year, prior year, and future year all in one year. The next time you'll see us is when we do unodudited actuals to finalize how 2425 ended. So, one thing I want to show you, I want to jump real fast. There's a part of the budget packet that I think is really important

023to review. And if there's one thing you can take from a budget packet, it's the narrative. And it's really elaborate and really comprehensive. And I think that it's in plain enough terms that you'll be able to understand it. So in it's always going to be a part of the board packet. So I'm using the agenda right now so you can see this when the agenda is posted. We do we're not required to put the attachments in until um is it 72 hours? 72 hours before the meeting. So if you don't see it there right away when the agenda is posted, it will be posted most likely by 400 p.m. on Sunday before our Wednesday board meetings. So, here's the notice, but here's the actual packet itself. And you'll see the packet's very large. It is

024171 pages. But I'm telling you, really the beginning is the only thing that actually matters. If you want to understand our budget, pay attention to the budget packet. And I've made it really easy for you because I give you a table of contents that is touchable, that will take you to where you want to go. And if you ever feel like you've gone too far, you can touch the table of contents to go back. you'll go back to where you are. The whole thing does also have page numbers at the bottom that align with the table of contents. So, the first huge section is our narrative and I'm going to break it down in our presentation each one of these parts, but I just really recommend reading here if you want to understand more about

025our fiscal situation. We talk about not only where we are now, but we also talk about just general things like understanding the components of a budget and simple things like that and then specific things to each reporting period. So for each reporting period, see it's long narrative, but I really swear it's it's it's a good read. Um so each section is either by revenue or expenditure. And something I felt that was helpful with the unique situation we're in. We provide a section of the comparison from 2425. We have three comparisons that can be put there which is the third interim projection which was the um third interim report that we sent out that we had were required to use when we would had negative certification. We had the original adopted estimated actuals which was the

026one that we adopted previously. And then we have our revised estimated actuals. There aren't a huge changes between revised and adopted because that was not our goal here. Our goal was to to hit three of those CDE requirements and then also adding in vacancies and I'm going to explain that in a minute. But if there are any discrepancies, it was just because it was simple enough to put in there, we might as well make it as accurate as possible. So if there was a revenue or expenditure change that was huge, it would be reflected here. The second section is the difference between the 25.6 adopted and what's being proposed now as the revised. All right. Again, some sections you'll see no differences, but if there is a difference, it will be called out um in

027these sections. And then there's narratives above each one of those or underneath each one. So, you want to understand what the difference is, there's a whole paragraph that'll explain what the differences between each one of those components. And that happens for revenues and expenditures. So, I'll kind of break that down a little bit more for you. The final sections that I I believe are important. A part of the narrative seems long is talking about basic aid. Um we are a basic aid school which means we're majority funded from property taxes. Um I provide a table here that talks about the um depth of basic aid we're in. So this this image here shows that as enrollment declines, we go deeper and deeper into basic aid, which means that if there's any benefits to LCFF, um

028we get more limited access to those, right? Because the higher we get into basic aid, we're just mostly funded out of property taxes, which means we get less LCF money. We also talk about the year end closing. Year end closing is important. What I'm proposing in estimated actuals is estimated, right? We have until October 15th to close the books with unodudited actuals. So I do I will tell you whatever is estimated right now is not how it's going to be. Right? We're going to have we're confirming acruals. We're we're confirming any APs are outstanding. We're um confirming inventory which were all of our findings from prior years for our audit. So we're going to make sure that we're hitting each one of those notes. And so we get to finish 2425. We get to start

02925 26 with a real clean slate moving forward. All right. Now, I want to go back to my presentation because I actually have these things outlined here. What was I doing on time? Okay. All right. So, we break down. There is no difference between the adopted and the revised LTF revenue projections. There are small federal projections that are changing here. Um, this was just adjustments to how things ended and I got that revenue. So, I decided to put the changes in the adoption as they were received. Um, we also had originally put a CTE grant that was in here um under federal federal revenue, but it actually didn't come in time, so I moved it um out and so it will be put into 25 26 state revenues. Again, small adjustments here. We had an

030increase to our ELOP um grant and that was finalized. So, I was able to put it into the change of of projections. And then the same thing for the workability. No changes to local revenue. All right. Um, so we did have one of the things outside of the three that were set by CDE, we do have one adjustment that's changing is that we had to include vacancies that were not have not been removed by boarding authority yet. So while the list I was originally given for vacancies and position control, there were some vacancies. There are some in the system that have been ordered approved but have not been taken out. So we are required to show those in our budget until the official um action has been taken to remove the FTE. So you'll see

031that this is one of the this is the fourth big impact to our revised budget. Okay. So what I did here is I outlined what those vacancies look like. These have been some of them have been vacant for many years. We're not trying to hire for them but they do exist in our position. So once we make adjustments and we right size um they will either be closed out or flown. So this did show up of about $3.3 million difference in our certificated and similarly about $2.6 million in our classified. Again some of these have been sitting for a while you you know but we do have to have board action to remove them due to the increase. It also means benefits increase because it's all projected from the same thing. So we'll see about

0322.3% increase in the benefits. Very few adjustments were made to all other expenditures because again the major the biggest thing we were working on were vacancies and then the inner fund transferring. So if there was anything that was I knew that I could add in here it happened. And so you'll see that uh services increased by $433,000. This is the cost of the state the state um receiverhip. We are required to pay for a comprehensive review of the 152 um markers for getting out of receiverhip. We also have some other fiscal supports that are required here. They go in the 5,800 because there are services that we're contracting for. Okay, the biggest one moving that fund 17 from 2320 from 2526 to 2324. Okay. So you'll see here that now the revised estimated shows the

033fund transfer in and it's being removed from the 2526. You'll also see that we made that board action to create fund 13 uh which is for food service. It used to be a contribution and we could just do it whenever we wanted. Now we have to have board action and it needs to be an inner fund transfer. Um also due to the increase of vacancies we needed to increase these um fund interf fund transfers to support the additional vacancy cost between fund 13 and fund seven fund 11 which is our adult education. So that's what these two additional um inner fund transfers are being requested to they it's now that's why it's required to have fun 13 because it calls out that encroachment. Okay. The last thing is our additional of contribution. Again those vacancies

034increase expenditures. Increased expenditures means we need to contribute to programs. We can see consistently that um in the prior year we have a title one contribution because we're not sustaining within our title one program. We also have a special special education um contribution which is normal uh but it will increase because of the vacancies. We have a 3% requirement for our ongoing and major maintenance fund. That is a requirement by the state to provide 3% um of all expenditures into a contribution. And now you'll see we're removing the food service because it's not a contribution anymore. It's an inter fund transfer. Um and then other local restricted funds we have. Um it's called the 910s. If we get a local grant or local funding from something, we have to put it as restricted because we

035can't just use it however we want. Um to maintain some of these programs. I had originally in third projected that we were going to make a contribution to keep these programs as is. Since then we've been able to finalize them and do other things. So you'll see that from third interum they've actually been removed from the contributions. They should really really be self-sustaining. I know sorry long um reserve economic we are required to hit a 3% reserve for economic uncertainty. What this means is is that while we're already $7 million negative in our fund balance, that actually does not mean that we're compliant. We have to get back the additional $1.3 million to hit that 3% required reserve. So, we are not only $7.4 million in the negative fund balance. You'll see in all of

036our projections, it's actually 8.7 to be able to hit that 3% reserve. So, that has been brought out for the next two years as well. It's about 1.3 for each year, which increases our negative ending fund balance. Multi-year projections, we're required to have assumptions. These are just some assumptions that we use for our multi-year projection which are outlined greatly in the um budget packet. I just want to give you a quick outlay here of our multi-year which is current year and two subsequent years. Um it looks like our revenues were coming in um slightly decreasing in 26 27 and then reincreasing in 2728. And then our expenditures you'll see um increase each year. And then um right here at the very bottom, this is what matters is our negative fund balance for each year. And

037you can see that um right above it is that percentage. Oops, that percentage I was talking about that's going to be required uh to make it to that 3%. So that's what's above it. Cash flow required to show cash flow. With all of these adjustments, originally we had projected to be into November, right, of paying back all those funds and all the approvals, we're looking like we're back to almost similar to where the third the third interim was, which is September. So, it looks like we'll be about $2 million negative and the end of September. In the budget packet, I do explain that we will be most likely doing our first draw down of the uh advanced aortionment from the state of about $1.5 million. This allows us to sustain cash flow for the remainder

038of the year um as we get our state as we get our property taxes in December and in April. Yes. Which I just explained. Um and that would be our revised adopted budget for 2526. Thank you Stephanie. So this was for information. The 2526 revised budget will be returned for approval on July 23rd, 2025 at our special board meeting. Is there any public comment this revised budget? All right. Last on our list, we have our consent items. I approve consent items A, B, C, and D. Oh, sorry. consent items which include uh minutes from the board meeting, our PUSD check registers for the month for June of 2025, see our service contracts A and D our donations. Is there any public comment with our consent items? Okay, I approve consent items A, B, C, and

039D as presented. Are there any future agenda items? I will adjourn the PD special revenue board meeting at 5:30. >> Yep. Yep. Okay. Um, so I'm going to call the PCOE special government board meeting to order and then we'll do the flag. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay, roll call >> here. >> Johnson >> here. >> Harrison here. >> I'll entertain a motion to approve PCE agenda. Move to approve. Second and second. Any discussion? All in favor? >> I need public input. >> Okay. Um amended schedule of remaining regular PCO board meetings. Is that what you said before? >> Yes. So, we're seeking um approval for the proposed

040amended schedule remaining PCO board meeting since we have to separate out the two. Perfect. And so PCO will take place first. >> Looks like we have a start time of 4:30 all the way down here. >> Yes. >> You want a motion to approve that? Correct. >> Yes. Can I entertain a motion for approvement? >> Make a motion to approve the amended schedule. >> I'll second. >> First and second. Any more discussion? All in favor? >> I. I. >> All right. Student achievement. Andrea, go ahead. >> Uh, yes. This is for again for our quarterly reports for the Williams uniform complaints. Um we have no complaints to report for our vision report. >> Moving on PCOE resolution 252601 adopting and approving the joint powers authority agreement and joining government financial services joint powers authority. Andrew,

041you want to walk us through that? Yeah, our recommendation this um came to us um from BigMax as another um piece to help us as we work through this process and to really help set up um our budget and business areas as we start addressing different areas moving forward. Um adopting and improving this um allows the joint government financial services joint powers of the authority to help with those things and their process for starting that contract with them is doing it through a resolution that is approved by the board. >> They their spe their specialties are in debt. So, they have already worked with schools who have taken a um advanced aortionment from the state uh and also other long-term debt um solutions. So, they'll they'll they're going to be a huge asset to us

042and their expertise. Um and a GPA allows them to be not just a contractor. They really care like a an employee at the door down from us. I mean, they it's it's a collective group that is made just for school finance. >> Okay. Move to approve as submitted. Is there a second? >> I second. >> Any discussion? >> Um I think the only So as I'm reading it being the joint powers authority agreement. So you are saying that this um organization is going to be very beneficial on the PUSD side. So >> no. >> Okay. But and then but this agreement is allowing them to also work with our PCOE side because it's already happening on the PUSD side. That's what I wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly. So, thinking about remembering that

043the original setup of a of a county office is the oversight of a district, >> right? >> So, they're here to guide us in the oversight of the district even though we're the same employees.
