019to prepare our seniors for graduation through frequent reminders about a through G requirements community service and college preparation at the end of the month Oasis Juniors will complete the Casp at the Oasis campus from March 31st to April 2nd makeups can be completed on April 3rd and as you all know the Casp is a state test administered to all juniors in California and students will take the math test on Monday the ELA on Tuesday and the cast which is science on Wednesday these tests provide the school with important data about each Junior's unique areas of strength and weakness this allows our Educators to determine areas that require more focus in the following year and get a fuller picture of the students's overall academic profile that is all I have to report for tonight thank you
020for listening thank you Miss Hart report from principles good evening everyone I'm gonna pick up for AJ because I know she's she's needing a minute so um so what AJ was going to speak to this evening was some of the work that we're continuing to do at Ivy high school around Community engagement and most recently we headed up to Ontario and spent a couple days really drilling down some of the root causes of chronic absence ISM and looking at the student and the parent and the community perspective and how we can engage our partners in solving some of those issues so AJ was fortunate and her mom were fortunate to attend with the rest of our committee um we've got some good ideas about how we want to address things going forward and how to
021continue to encourage those important conversations with our families to support academic and educational success as part of that initiative we're going to be holding our first attendance-based initiative or incentive field trip to SeaWorld on the 21st 26% of or sorry 26 of our students have qualified to attend that trip um having 90% attendance or higher many of them having 95 or above so it's the first attendance incentive that we've done that is based on a field trip enrichment experience it's something that our students have asked for and we think is going to bring some further in further motivation to attend school every day uh we are doing a second attendance incentive for trimester 3 on May 7th um that one will be to the San Diego Zoo and will also include our Juniors who have
022100% attendance for the two weeks of ASAC and C tesing um as K mentioned we are very heavily focused right now in the downtime between the two breaks on focusing for our upcoming Casp tests Ivy will be conducting our tests over a two-e period rather than a one we so we'll be testing from March 24th through April 4th Oasis will be completing are testing in the same time block as fber high school from March 31st through April 4th our try to awards for Ivy High School will take place on April 10th we've also have um some Community enrichment projects so we're going to be doing a spring hunt around campus for so just kind of a fun team building activity and then as we head once we get through testing and heading toward the end
023of the year we have a few more enrichment trips planned for our students we'll be taking one more schoolwide field trip to our local Community College to Palomar our US History classes will be visiting the Nixon library and then we are 100% focused on just moving toward graduation any questions you might have for me all right sounds great everything you're doing um when is graduation for IV what day now you put me on the spot and I think I forgot and that's okay I think is it June 2nd or 3rd June 3rd thank you June 3r my fault I should know good evening all right so we kicked off our third and final trimester last week somebody said this morning that this feels kind of like we're flying through the school year um maybe not
024all the time you know and you hit the the January um beginning of the year to the end but as soon as we hit the beginning of this third trimester it does feel like everything is going by really quickly so for our seniors same thing heading towards graduation and really prepping for that um and cast testing as well end of the month of March for us um right before we head off to spring break so um we'll follow a similar schedule to what we've done in the past where we kind of change our whole school schedule to really focus and make sure that everybody is understanding even though it's our Juniors that test that testing is happening um on our campus and kind of respecting that time um we will also uh be looking as
025we get towards graduation and announcing our Valen Cel for the class of 2025 which is always exciting um and then just a huge thing for us for today uh we have just wrapped this afternoon our sixe wasque accreditation visit so um thank you to those who were able to pop in today I know they moved our presentation up a little bit earlier but we appreciate the extra support of having um you all in the room so that process basically involves uh they send a team of six people to our school site they're here they kind of move in so they they move in we feed them we we provide them a place to stay locally um and then they just live with us basically for a few days and go through a day a day
026in the life of a fber high school student and staff member talk to all of our stakeholder groups um get some idea of how things look on our campus um and that is kind of uh front loaded to them through what is about a 100 page self-study report um we have an amazing was coordinator who's worked with us for years Megan wblo I'll give her a huge shout out for all the work that she's done over the last um many many years but one of the things that happens in this process uh we received a six-year accreditation the last time they were here with the midcycle visit so 3 years ago they were here visiting via um cell phone basically in classrooms and going around I think I talked about that last month um and
027then they come back to see if the things that we talk about in that report that we're doing are the things that you would see on this campus um and they're really kind of investigating that piece and and talking like I said to students and staff um they met with District administration a parent group um to see if the things that we have put into place are taking hold um they always leave recommendations that's part of their job um because we all know that if we stop growing we stop growing so um we always have a goal to improve in a variety of areas but um we appreciate kind of the outside perspective coming in and looking at what we're doing and then providing us some some goals helping us set goals for what we
028hope we'll be several years from now when they come back and visit us again uh like I said huge shout out to Megan wimo who's our coordinator um who just does an incredible amount of work she's been really um focused uh she and I on putting and calendaring those um meeting times for our staff over the course of the last two years that was something that our visiting team said they really appreciated uh they got a true sense that our staff has really been invested in this process and that self-study report it wasn't Megan and I writing it it was written by our staff collectively in what we call focus groups so they felt um that our staff had a really good hand handle on what was in that report and felt a lot of
029ownership over it as well so and that is Megan driving me to say let's put these dates on the calendar and make sure that those exist um not just you know 3 months before was arrives but we've been doing this for two and a half years now so um and just a huge thank you i' would give also to our staff um like I said one of the things that they want to see is when they read that 100 page report and then they come and speak to staff it does the report say one thing and staff say something else and they said across the report it's just really refreshing to hear that what's in the report is really genuinely what our staff values cares about and is knowledgeable about so and same thing to
030our students uh they met with a group of students that represented a wide variety of our campus um and so it's just wonderful to hear one feedback but also um just the student experience again um and have lots of opportunities for that to to be highlighted um by a team from outside so um huge thanks to our visiting team I'm sure they are not listening to our board meeting tonight but it is always nice to see and meet people from outside um of our district as well so three teachers and three administrators from Riverside and La counties um just to get to hear perspectives from people who work in a similar field but in a different location so um it's nice to be finished with that process today um a lot of work goes into
031that but um it was good to hear their feedback at the end of the day today so and appreciate like I said your presence today really helpful in that so any questions for me all thank you for everything and do you know when they announce the accreditation or um I don't usually it takes a few weeks um they finalized they did share a presentation with us today that summarized the same things they shared with staff um that's kind of the end of their they don't just leave us shrouded in mystery they do give a presentation at the end so we've seen the presentation we kind of have the gist but then they'll give us our formal report within a few weeks very cool I will be sure to let you guys know thanks thank you
032next we have report from board members so anyone want to go first I'll go first um well first of all um I love these are my favorite board meetings when we do the the fall Brook's finest and we recognize and it's so great to see that you know not only are we recommending Community groups that are supporting our student students and our staff and our school because we we couldn't do it without that um and that you know we're honoring such wonderful students achievements again you know what Wyatt is doing academically 4.0 and then on top of all of his other Athletics and Leadership that is you know exactly what we're trying to help all of our students be able to achieve that um and again our our specialty departments and staff and oversight thank
033you for um our teaching team and admin team for making that happen um so that's literally you know one of my favorite things to experience um on a personal side I'm in the process of taking what's called um from the California Schoolboard Association it's called a masters in Schoolboard governance and it's five sessions long so I'm finishing my final session tomorrow um on finance and what I shared with the board earlier and one I was shared would like to share with everyone is we are so far ahead of the vast majority of the school districts that are in that process um a lot of the school board members today we were looking at budgets they had no idea even how to read a budget sheet they had no idea what the acronyms meant they had
034no idea you know how you pair your budget with you know your student achievement goals and outcomes and we've got that down and that's thanks to the strong Administration that we have um Brenda our CBO just does a fabulous job on that and so it's really it's been a very enjoyable process one I've learned a lot but also on top of that just learned you know how what a good job we're doing here um and so everybody should be really feel very good about our accomplishments um the other one I'm participating in is the small school boards Association and they focus on issues that really affect small schools a lot and so us being a smaller School District um I believe if you're under 2 200 students that's where you fall um you know because
035there's different issues that affect us we're not quite as rural as some of the ones that are out in the middle of you know Central Valley um and we're not as Tiny as some of the school districts I think one had 180 students um but it's still great to see to understand from that perspective you know what opportunities are for our smaller schools and um the final session um actually is paired with their annual conference in Anaheim and I believe our superintendent is also going up and doing some training up there at the same time um so that's been a really um good learning experience for me so thank you kind of to piggyback uh what M rard said regarding recognizing Wyatt for his accomplishments and being able to balance both Athletics and academics and
036I think that's kind of a a very valuable path to um encourage all of our athletes to remember that they are also students and remind the students that they are also athletes for those that do both and so everything we can do to try to kind of create that holistic approach towards students as they grow up and they can multitask in different areas I just think that's a very valuable thing to recognize as it happens so I'm just going to talk about one thing and uh principal Jones uh talked about this earlier I had the pleasure of attending the was accreditation earlier today uh which again is is a bunch of outside Educators that come in and kind of evaluate our school and what we're doing for firefighters this is like an ISO sort of
037evaluation so something I'm familiar with in a little bit different career um uh this is my fifth year on the board I really didn't know what I was getting into you're probably in that position now um but quickly I learned um uh what's important and things like that I'm going to ramble a little bit and hopefully this makes a little bit of sense what I heard today the feedback from that was committee exceeded all of my expectations I I could not have been more proud of the feedback they were giving all of us so um I'm literally getting like like chills I so that's because of the people we have here the administrators the teachers the superintendent the team top to bottom all of you are absolutely outstanding and your commitment to our students is
038is is very commendable so thank you thank you for the great grade that's it thank you um if I had the opportunity to past couple weeks to briefly visit the F night once again um Blown Away with the amount of how late some of these events run and about how many of our staff members are still there I once heard from a Community member that F Brook High School doesn't sleep it just takes a lot of naps and I see it um it's something's always going on whether it's early in the morning middle of the day or at night or in the weekends whether it's in F brook or it's in a competition uh anywhere you know in in the county and the state in the country faai staff members are there with with students
039so just again you know really really grateful for all the work that y'all do and um as a teacher myself I'm definitely inspired and a lot of the ideas that I see I try to emula in my classroom of seven um seven eighty olds so that I could bring that passion into the classroom bring that education to life next um I also briefly attended the en quantos meeting at the at the uh College and Career Center it was great that there you know fan night and the quos event were together um just because you know there's folks there that you just keep us safe and so on but again I think the partnership with in quantos is great one of the topics that they were have conversations that we're having is how can parents you
040know proactively and in a great way in a positive way uh communicate with kids instead of being in in you know what's tradition used to be bit more um you know sorry I'm losing my TR of thought but it was just a great conversations on how parents and students and their kids can communicate about maybe some challenges going on in their kids lives that they usually don't want to talk about again uh this was so worth it um it was sprinkling I ran to my car from from my lunch I just ran down the stairs at my Elementary School ran to my truck you know drove at the speed limit to for high College of career center and again it was so great hearing um just everything that was positive about Faber high school and
041we completely agree with it um Mr Jones was there uh everybody else a lot of people here were there and seea Gonzales and just hearing all these great things that we're doing it was was was um was amazing they also shared some areas of growth right some areas of focus where we could improve you agree with those as well but it was great that they gave us both but the highlight of the positiveness of what's going on was was amazing uh quick thank you to some of the community organizations I had the pleasure of speaking at AAW this past weekend thank you for having me and thank you for allow giving me the opportunity to share about some of the great work that's going on in faai um reporting back to the community in a
042uh you know nonformal way as a Schoolboard meeting is something that yeah I enjoy doing I also want to thank Central Elementary at Escondido a couple weeks ago they invited me to talk to their student population and their parent population which is predominantly migrant uh they wanted me to address the um you know the the topic of chronic absentismo and the importance of going to school and receiving a strong education so it was great the admin at you know the community and the admin at Central Elementary nonda was very welcoming and they said that hey fa ever needs anything you know they'll help us out too thank you next we have a report from superintendent yes good evening um I want to share that last week I participated ated in read Across America and um
043I love working with high school I've always said High School is is my passion but I thought let me try TK like the youngest of the youngest that are in school and I read um read fish blue fish one fish two fish Dr Seuss and had a great time with them then gave them a sticker and I just love their honesty um because I have no problem correcting you when you mispronounce their name or can't hear what they're telling you but they were great and while I was at um mayis I took the opportunity to stop by um trusty calus classroom who also had a guest speaker reading to them um and was able to to speak to those kids for a bit for a bit this Saturday I will be speaking at um falbrook
044Al it is quite an honor for me to have been invited as the keynote and to be able to participate in that program um and I just invite the community I participated in F Brook aler uh for the past 3 years and always enjoy interacting with the community of falbrook with the children that are there um and of course now that I've invited you I'm like oo you better make your speech good um if people are going to be there you've heard a lot about the wasque uh visit it's our accreditation and um I'm going to share a little bit of what they mention to us um I will have a more extensive report at the April board meeting obviously they left at noon they got a report to us or the presentation that they
045shared with staff a little later and I just didn't have enough time to make it all nice for today but I did want to give you some of the highlights and let's see I thought I was pressing forward oh this one this one right here it's sideways not up the other the right hand side okay so the focus on learning these are the questions that the visiting committee um asks and that they're looking for answers for um too uh how do you know that all students are achieving based on our school white student goals and academic standards and is the school doing everything possible to support high achievement for all its students and I have participated in wasque accreditations um at many schools and um I honestly have never been to one as positive as
046this one except for I believe Ivy high school was accredited last year Miss Garder two years ago so two years ago it was Ivy that's right you weren't there two years ago um at Ivy um but this was was a very positive experience so the schoolwide strength that the uh wasque accreditation team identified number one um and this is so true the caring and professional staff with a strong core of teachers who are willing to adapt and change to improve student achievement um sometimes as adults we're set in our ways and we want um things to be motivated by what the adult needs are and that's something that um you don't see at F Brook it's it's driven by what the student needs are and it's definitely something we want to continue the students are
047proud to be Warriors and have a vision beyond graduation in fact one student I believe the question was what they shared is um why do you like coming to F Brook High School and her response is I don't understand why you would want to go anywhere else so that was very valuable Warrior Pride time allows students to remediate and or enrich learning as well as Foster relationships between students and staff this um they shared with the administrative team the district admin team yesterday and then they shared it again today um and that Lauren Jones our principal is a well-respected and beloved principal who supports all staff and students academically and in their extracurricular activities and they also stated that it is very clear that our staff wants to do right by her um and I'm
048getting chills just saying it because we always tell her how amazing she is but to have other people recognize it um really means a lot uh the Fallbrook high school program Warrior uh buddies epitomizes the care and student environment that brings general education students together with a special education buddy so that is um one of our efforts towards inclusivity it's a very safe and secure campus the other thing that the uh Team mentioned to us is they've been to many many high schools and this is one of the cleanest schools that they have visited so they did give props to our mot Department um that is ESS situates an environment of learning for all students that is well respected in the community an array of extracurricular activities that students participate in to create an inclusive
049School climate continuing the strong tradition of warrior Pride FHS is a unique School within a unique community that Prides itself in a longstanding culture of tradition we provide students with a variety of CTE offerings that link students with career skills and exploration and students have open access to CTE IB and AP programs which means there really aren't any prerequisites if you tell us that you want to take an advanced placement class we allow you that opportunity FHS has implemented learning walks uh this year in order to share best practices among teachers for the betterment of Student Success so the critical areas of focus as um principal Jones mentioned our staff for the past two and a half years has been looking at what are our areas of improvement what are things that we want to

057and M I thank you information item second interm financial report fiscal year 20 20242 presentation by Miss Brenda mefford CBO good evening I am here to this evening presenting our second intrum second inum are the budget and actuals as of January 31st 2025 I'm going to show the difference between first inim which are budget in actuals as of October 31st 2024 to Second inim so we're going to start with and I I've just clumped together unrestricted and restricted so it's just very high level overall our lcff sources from first to second interim increased by $2,049 our federal revenue from 1 to 2 inam decreased by 68,4 22 that was um assets which is our Century 21 learning after school restricted dollars um they're based on expenditures and by the quarter five that we reported we
058hadn't spent all of the money we were given additional money last year we didn't spend it all so we do have to return the 68,000 our state revenue increased by $821 that was attributed to a little extra of our um unrestricted Lottery dollars and then down in local Revenue they went from 1.7 million to 1,835 694 that's an increase in 78,2 $70,000 of that is a community eligibility Community engagement Community engagement initiative it's actually a grant that our superintendent applied for and um she runs that with some community members and we pay for services and we pay people for attending meetings the members of that so that's 70,000 of that and the other 8,000 is some use of facilities in various local revenue on our expenditures our certificated salaries increased by$ 29,548 that is anything
059from additional hours um we have some teachers that are out on leave and when they're out on leave they still get paid but then we have to pay a substitute to come in and cover for them we also had some teachers that at the beginning of the year were budgeted at one place on the salary schedule and then have done some continuing educ education which moves them to the next column on the salary schedule thus bumping their salary so that's a total of $218,052 on the classified side I reduced the budget by 165,000 that's mainly it's a very temporary decrease because that we're looking from now till the end of the year that money we had budgeted for special ed par professionals we have not been able to hire all of our special ed par
060professionals so I know that we're not going to hire them and pay them a year salary at this point in the year so I went ahead and decreased the budget by that amount I did add it back in the in the subsequent years um employee benefits that's the in $234,200 that's the increase because when you increase salaries you increase benefits and also um open enrollment was the end of the year and so people tend to move and they they change places in our enrollment for instance if you started as an employee only and then you since got married and now have a child so now you've moved um on our tier so it cost the district a lot more money to pay benefits for a family than it does for an employee only so those
061changes together equal the 234,000 increase uh books and supplies we've increased $265,900 out of general fund money so that's the increase there our um Professional Services that has gone up 115,000 so our our budget right now is 8,429 and3 that covers Professional Services includes our transportation includes our non-public schools we have students going to we did we do have one student that's at a different a brand new um nonp public school we didn't have before um that's our utilities our property and liability insurance and a lot of those where you see the decrease in classified salaries well we still need someone to provide those services to our students so we are using a third party and that comes out of the 5,000 because it's a professional services so where your classified salaries may have gone
062down we're hiring a third party to come in it's professional tutors they're coming in and working with our sped students in place of Paris that that we cannot hire so that's the reason for that increase and then um the next one is our uh capital projects sometimes we like I know with supplemental uh concentration funding I have to budget the entire amount so there is some that I budgeted in a 6400 that's an item a capital item that's cost over $5,000 and it also we had put some supplemental concentration money away if it was going to help with some um facilities upgrades if we needed it but now that we're at the end of the year we're not going to use the supplemental concentration money there so we moved it out of the 6400 and
063that's the reason for that reduction of $87,900 and then on the Sela and jccs we increased it from first intrum it was $945,000 and now at second intrum it's 98857 those are our services either it's our students that are in the juvenile court system or it's our students that go to North County Academy or any students if we have a Carl's Bad de and heart of hearing school any of our students that attend those specialized there are students so we're we're responsible for paying so that budget needed to be adjusted to foresee for this year the services that are being provided so we increased that by $427 indirect costs went up $30,000 because we are able to take more indirect costs based on the expenditures that our food services has we're able to take where
064there's an indirect cost rate and because we administer all of their purchasing all of their time sheets we're able to charge them an indirect cost and so I increased that by $3,000 so that leaves our total second inum expenditure budget at 49,000 49 m6497 47 which is an increase from first INR of $594,500 we're projecting an ending fund balance of 5,657 1838 we have to assign 35,000 of that to cover our revolving cash account and then we're required to set aside 3% reserve for economic uncertainties that's 1,535 1924 so at this time we are looking at an unappropriated fund balance of just over4 million $86,900 now you take the ending fund balance that becomes next year's beginning fund balance and then you add those revenues subtract those expenditures we're projecting to end 2526 with 3,891
065776 you assign the revolving cash the reserves so we're left with $2.6 million so now you take the projected ending balance to 2627 that's the beginning balance same thing add the revenues minus the expenditures and then once you assign to revolving cash and the reserves we're looking at an ending Surplus there of $288,300 use to come up with these numbers so our Ada assumptions we are mainly we are funded from the state on not only our it's not the students that are enrolled in our school but it's the attendance that they generate so as we continue to decline in enrollment and we used to run about a 94 93% attendance rate that's decreased somewhat we're kind of now at a 92.4 so you take the enrollment times that um attendance rate and that gives you
066your Ada so at P1 our Ada was 1,847 P1 is the dece is the end of December so we report that to the state and I went back the last five to seven years did an average of how many Ada we lose between P1 and P2 because we do lose enrollment I don't exactly know why the students leave uh between December and April but they do and so that brings our Ada down so it's an average of 25 so that's the number that I used to estimate our P2 Ada our p28 is what we're funded on and that's going to be what what we report at the end of March and that's our locked in Real Deal Ada that um and that's going to be guessing 1,822 based on what I just explained to you
067so we're estimating a decline in enrollment of 42 and I did that by looking back and every year then now coming up with an average we were declining very significantly until 2019 2020 it kind of stabilized a bit and then this year we lost more students than we had anti ipated we lost uh 64 students from the prior year to this year so based on that I'm doing 42 loss of enrollment and if we did that at the 92% Ada it's going to give us um 1,767 and so I use the same formula going forward for 26 27 and those numbers look really low and they're really scary so what the state does is they give us a hold harmless and back in the day they did where they would fund us on the prior
068year whatever was higher well since covid since most school districts in California are really experiencing some significant decline they now do a three-year average so our three-year average for um this year our Ada that we're going to be funded on is 1,934 even though our real Ada is going to be about 1,800 we're going to be funded at 1,934 and then in 2526 we'll be funded uh 1,874 and then the following year 1828 and now in order for the multi-year projection for us to have the ending fund balanced that I showed we were going to have I had to take some reductions into consideration I worked with the superintendent I worked with ed services and I was like okay in order for us to file a positive budget in our third year we have to
069show we have to show a positive ending fund balance after our um reserves so I was like what are we going to be able to reduce because if we're losing students we may have to lose some staff so we went through and um we did cut some minimal Staffing some extra hours some professional development I take took out one time expenditures that we have had we've been upgrading our pack so we've been spending a few hundred, a year in replacing things in the pack we're pretty much done we we had a four-year plan so I I took that out of the budget in the outer years our Capital expenditures maintenance is bought they had to buy a new tractor they're not going to have to buy that every year so I reduced that and um
070some extra software licenses um we took those out and so that that's what I used to show the reductions in expenditures in next year in 25 26 and as far as the increase in Revenue the cola that's in the governor's budget currently is um we're in the current year which is 1.07% and then the budget has a 2.43% for next year and then a 3.52 so that automatically is in our lcff calculator and that's what gives us that Cola plus the per student base rate times our Ada is how we get our Revenue so right now with all that being said the board will be filing a positive certification so thank you any questions no Brenda very very well done after attending that training session on accounting today um you could do the you could
071have had done the training um WR all the explanations are very helpful as well thank and I do just want to add speaking of where we were I was gone for 4 days I was in Washington DC because we are a member of naphis which is National Association of federally impacted schools because we serve Camp Pendleton students um that land if it weren't government owned by the federal government we would have houses there and we would be getting property tax and we would be getting Ada from students there so what the federal government does is they give us in of that they give us money from Impact Aid well there's a lot of commotion going on at threal government level and with the Department of Education and so some of that money is kind of
072it's out there in Project 2025 that they may cut that funding for us and so uh we're they advocating we went and spoke with the two staffers for our our two senators and um we just were everybody told their story about their District what that money means to their district and how important it is for us and so just so we know here we receive an impact Aid between 702 and 703 about $1.8 million and we budget a million of that because we've slowly been every year I come and say we're trying to reduce the budget and we take that out and move it to fund 40 if you remember I do that and so if we were to lose that money it would really be detrimental to to our district because even with the
073cuts that we have to make that is still I am still including that we're going to get that revenue of $1 million from so it'll be a completely different picture if I have to come back with a budget if we don't get that Federal funding so far it looks pretty it's going to be pretty secure for 2025 it's 2026 that's the unknown right now so I just wanted to explain and and that's why I was back in DC um fighting the good fight for our impact Aid dollars yeah I just want um thank you for the time that you take to you know travel and present back to the community what you have found again I really appreciate the how proactive you're being with sharing information that could impact our schools with current information that's
074already impacting our schools so I just want to say thank you for that okay thank you now we move on to the the action item uh second inter term financial report fiscal year 2024 25 I'll move that the board approve the second interim financial report fiscal year 2024 2025 as presented and I'll second thank you any comments questions yeah move on to a board uh to a vote student board representatives are not here Mr kampio votes I Mr Christensen is absent Mr hasco I Mr Jones I and Mr RAR I thank you action item number six approval of energy service agreement with site Logic for facility improvements can I get a motion please I'll move that the board approved the Energy Services agreement with site logic IQ for facility improvements as presented second thank you
