001[Music] Good afternoon, everyone. I call to order the GCC regular board meeting, September the 9th, 2025 at 4:45 p.m. Roll call. >> Mr. Mark Anderson, >> here. >> Mr. Harry Block. >> Brother, >> Mr. Bruce Mandre. >> Uh, Madam Chairman, I'm here, but I need to leave about 5:30 to get to another meeting. >> Thank you. Please note to our secretary, Mr. Jack Turner, >> present. >> Lily Campbell, present. All board members are present and accounted for. I want to before we go into public comments just say welcome everyone. We're so glad to see you. To those who are watching us virtually, welcome also. Thank you for being here at our meeting and seeing such friendly faces. It's good to see you. Thank you. And now we shall continue with our board meeting. Do we
002have public comments? Uh, Madam Secretary? >> Yes, ma'am. We have one comment from Hannah Larson. >> Okay. Good afternoon, Madame President Campbell, uh, Superintendent Sample, and members of the board. Last school year, end of the year, I came to the board to bring awareness to the issue of pay equity for school social workers. Today, I'm happy to share that with the hard work and support of many, many people, we were able to adjust the salary schedule to reflect the hard work and expertise social workers bring to our schools. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the board and also to all of the various people involved in updating our salary schedule. I know that updating salary schedules is not an easy process and I'm also aware that this has been an especially difficult time
003to make such decisions. I do not take lightly the care and consideration paid by directors, human resources, this board, and all others involved. I'm grateful to work for an organization that not only values its students, but the staff who support them. With that said, I also recognize that school social work is a position newer to our district than almost any other helping role, such as counselors, psychologists, even RSP staff. Because of that, it can be difficult to pin down exactly what worth we bring to our campuses when looking from the outside in. I know this because I'm expanding my work to more sites this year and I've already been met with questions and also appreciation from our administrators, from our staff, even from our families. Um, as you know, as I join into these new
004sites, these are sites that already had counselors and psychologists and had paris and other support staff. but the unique lens of social work and uh has just continued to round out the support we're able to provide students and their families. One of my personal goals for this year, my commitments is to help clarify and solidify the role of social workers at the GCC and make our work more visible to the board and also to the district as a whole. I plan to continue working with our student services team to more clearly identify our roles and our responsibilities. uh look at what a social worker team could look like, what we can focus on, what we can provide, um and share that with the district and the board as a whole. I plan uh to do
005that with excuse me, while maintaining each site's autonomy, which I know is a hallmark of the GCC and one of the things that's so special. I would also like to extend an invitation to any member of the board or you know our uh district team to talk with or shadow me to learn more about what this field does um and the field that I'm passionate about the work that we do. I count myself extremely lucky to have a role that focuses entirely on supporting students holistically providing support in and around the classroom and the family so that students can be their most successful selves inside of it. Again, I want to thank the board for your support and your work. Um, and as always for your leadership in making sure that students remain the focus
006of all that we do. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Uh, we appreciate the kind words. Thank you. Anything else, board members? Okay, we shall continue to move on then. And with that, we're now moving into the superintendent update. Okay. >> So, we're looking forward to what you have to say to us today. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you, uh, Madame President, members of the board. Uh, good, uh, afternoon and to everyone. Welcome to our board meeting tonight. Um, we trust you're ready for a a wonderful night of, uh, information as well as kind of updates and what's happening as well as seeing quality governance uh, firsthand. So, a few things I want to update the board. uh I had the opportunity well let's first start with September this month is attendance awareness
007month and I want to thank our staff for the work they do to welcome our families our students support our students as well as reinforce the importance of showing up to school every day and so we have been very intentional uh this year to highlight through our social media as well as at each of our schools the importance of school attendance and why this matters. Uh we just finished out with the help of director cow sending out a bunch of letters. I'll say it that much. Uh over 5,800 letters and postcards to our families. Again, sharing the importance of school attendance and reminding our families to uh to get their kids to school every day on time. So again, want to to highlight that as we continue our work, not only uh sharing from a
008marketing uh standpoint, but also uh our student services department beginning the round of home visitations to uh our students who uh are chronically absent. Uh I had the opportunity to attend the uh Sacramento State President Woods fall address. Uh it was really a great opportunity to connect uh with higher ed and other K12 leaders and I look forward to strengthening our relationship with the president's office as well as SAK State uh in the months ahead as we continue to look at our partnership opportunities. I also had the opportunity to attend several of our back tochool nights over the last few weeks. It was great seeing our families connecting with their children's teachers and getting acquainted and acclimated to uh the new campus and uh we had a number of our um leadership members and uh
009directors who also attended. Uh this past uh month I had the opportunity to be on the uh COA family radio show and talk about the new school year, our vision for the year as well as uh the importance of school attendance uh to kind of launch our uh school attendance uh month. And then last week, assistant superintendent TCOY was on the radio uh also sharing about the importance of academics and our schools as well as the work that our ad services department is doing and how we are uh around the entire organization remaining student uh focused, student centered and student driven. Uh so want to uh affirm assistant superintendent um for being on the radio and uh sound like you did a pretty good job. they they they were cheering her on and they were
010like, "Oh, he talked again." But I want to say good job, Joy. Uh this weekend I had the opportunity to attend the CASA, which is the California Association of African-American Superintendent and Administrators, uh annual education roundup. Uh it was really a powerful gathering and opportunity for uh not only leadership and learning but really how we focus our work and advancing uh equity for our students of color and um our families. And it was really nice to kind of connect with the fellow colleagues across the state and really bring back some ideas. And I know that our board president for a number of years was actively involved even in the early stages of starting this uh wonderful kind of cut out of access for our African-American administrators. So want to publicly thank her uh and to
011also let her and the board know that the work continues with this very influential group across our state. On September the 5th uh we held our first central office meeting for the year. uh I had the opportunity to share with the central office the state of the GCC address that I shared with the board. Uh we built our social contract together and then our departments really began the work of setting goals for the year as well as looking at ways that we begin to communicate our work out. So some things that are uh coming ahead and up uh coming up for us uh we have our Twin Rivers Unified School District annual oversight visits that will be starting here in the next few weeks. We've been hard at work uh managing the uh I'll call
012it the new and enhanced um oversight uh responsibilities that Twin Rivers has given us. And so we are working very closely uh to begin to pull those documents and other items together. Uh I am proud to say that everything that they're asking for we already have these things as part of just our normal everyday uh action. So, uh, again, we continue to be, uh, best practices and, uh, a high level of integrity with our oversight work. And then we're preparing for the SAK City Unified, uh, charter renewal public hearing, uh, where we'll be presenting our petition to the SAK City Unified board uh, for uh, their decision later on in the year, and we'll keep the board updated as that process continues. Uh, also our GCC Foundation asked me to share with you that our
013golf tournament will be held on October the 3rd at Till Bin Golf Course. Uh, again, board, this is an great opportunity to uh bring our community together and also go catch some birdies and uh maybe an eagle or two or uh did did I get all the binoculars? >> I got all the binoculars. Great. I'm I'm looking at director block who's just shaking his head and uh you know Mr. Block uh I'll try to get a par but more than likely I'll be way over >> double bogey >> a double bogey >> double bogey. >> Um but we know that uh hopefully uh director Turner will be out there swinging uh for the fences. Wait, wrong wrong sports. Okay, I'll stop. Uh but really it is a great opportunity board for us to come together.
014And then finally our fourth annual uh GCC con uh that is hosted and led by our professional learning department and our chief learning officer Dr. Gold will take place on October the 6th. There is a change in location. We're excited this year to uh have the event at COA Elementary School so we can spread out a little bit more as we continue to grow as an organization. That's very exciting. Uh so definitely looking forward to seeing our board and uh more importantly having all of our staff together. As you know, we did not do a welcome back. So this will be the first time that all of the GCC staff will have the opportunity to come together. So really excited about our GCC con. And with that being said, that is my report. >> Thank
015you so very much, Superintendent. Any comments, board members, on any of the uh issues that the superintendent talked about? Hearing none. All right, we shall move on to our study sessions. And the very first one is reflections on administrators practices. That's >> it's going to be assistant superintendent who is going to lead us through this. All right, good afternoon everyone. It's nice to be with you. Um, President Campbell, board of directors, and Superintendent Sample. I miss being with you at the retreat where I was originally intended uh to share this presentation with you, but I'm happy to share with you tonight. Today, you will see two items on the agenda. one for a study session on rope or reflections on administrative practice and the other anformational item on our proposal to replace rope called lead
016or leadership evaluation and development in October. It will come back to the board for your approval. You originally approved the current vote process in the school year 2017 2018 which seems like a lifetime ago since it was precoid and this is the process that we use to evaluate principles vice principles and our salva director. Since then there have been minor updates but tonight we are proposing more significant changes that will make this process more integrated and aligned with current GCC priorities. Okay. So, I want to start with acknowledging the impact that school leaders have on children and student achievement. Research shows that effective school leaders make a measurable impact on student achievement and that principles who are engaged in instructional leadership prioritize actions that create a learning environment with clear objectives and high expectations for
017students and teachers. This is our goal for admin this year. We want to provide enough GCC supports and training that helps embed compliance task into daily routines so that their focus and their time can be more on instructional leadership. So an effective evaluation process for administrators will help make this GCC goal a reality by providing supports for administrators to be successful. But let me start with the why we feel we need this change by explaining some of the challenges with the current evaluation process. First, the current role process as it evolved over time was loosely connected to the California professional standards for education leaders or sips, but it did not provide a rubric or scale to rate an administrator skills. The rope was heavily based on the workplace personality inventory scale or the WPI. And
018while our administrators can appreciate the WPI as a reflection tool for growth, they didn't always appreciate it being used to evaluate them. And the rope had a general process for evaluation, but did not provide clear timelines throughout the year. and the forms were difficult to use sometimes electronically and to store. So our new process will specifically address some of these needs. So first um I want to give a shout out to Dr. Gold for the potent the new name potentially of lead is it right? Yes. And so that's our first change is changing the name from rope which doesn't have a great connotation to lead. um that's what they do every single day. So leadership evaluation and development. Next, this process will now explicitly rely on and use the six California leadership standards as a
019rating scale. And these are familiar to administrators since they are used in preliminary and clear credential programs across California. Using these rubrics will allow us to give administrators qualitative and quantitative feedback and to document their work. We've also incorporated our GCC core values and we've aligned them to these six leadership standards and we will keep the WPI but for goal setting rather than for evaluation. And we've connected this to our three instructional action framework goals related to portrait of a graduate MTSS and career tech education. So there are four main parts to this evaluation. Four components and here's a a listing of the timeline. So part A, administrators begin the year reviewing the California leadership standards and the descriptions of practice. Then they set their personal goals using the instructional leadership blueprint in September. Then
020they begin collecting artifacts that support these goals and document their work. And these are specifically linked to our three chosen elements for the school year related to the instructional action framework. And they are element 1A a student centered vision. I think we've heard that before already tonight. Student focused, student centered, student driven. Element 2B, curriculum and instruction. And element 3C, climate. The submitted artifacts are reviewed in March by their supervisor. Then in June, the administrator completes a self-reflection form where they score themselves on the leadership standards. And then there is an end ofear summitive evaluation meeting with myself and the superintendent or their direct supervisor, the principal or their director. So one of our supports for admin this year is a book study um that is related to their instructional leadership and it's titled what
021is my value instructionally to the teachers I lead. It's by Baruti K. Cafe. So we took a piece of this book and um used the instructional leadership blueprint that Dr. Calele shares and created a goal setting document for our leaders. It essentially um asked the administrators to set their goals based on where am I now, where am I going, and how will I get there. And these goals and actions that the leaders will create should be directly linked to their work outlined in their school learning plans. So you can see we're trying to connect all the things together. It's not something new. It's not something different. It's integrated with the work they're already doing. So, some other supports that we have in place include um monthly meetings with myself, uh semionthly meetings or twice a
022month with our GCC administrators, weekly meetings on their own site with their own leadership teams, new principal mentors, and this year we have added learning champions dedicated to each site and of course support from our professional learning department. the learning champions. They are GCC professional learning coaches, GCC coordinators and directors, and we've assigned one learning champion to each school site to support that administrator with their work around the school learning plan this year. But they're essentially becoming one of their lifelines or phone to friends um whenever they need to ask someone a question. So if at any time over the course of this process an administrator seems to be struggling, we will of course provide them with actionable goals or an improvement bin if needed with clear expectations for actions and implementation. In closing, I'd
023like to share that we did seek and receive input from multiple stakeholders in creating this new process, including the superintendent advisory team, the GCC leadership team, human resources, and input from the administrators themselves. And I believe that this process will be effective in building their competencies and skills necessary to develop strong school leaders. Leaders who can and will impact change in support of our portrait of a graduate and create positive school cultures. So we welcome your feedback on this process and questions and thank you for your time. >> Any comments board members? Yes, Jack. I really appreciate the presentation and I I strongly support the name that really you're right reflect excuse me >> really reflects what uh this stands for. I have a a question. you're kind of building this is a a new
024model that you're building. Correct. Uh you've had it in the past, but do you have a having been there as a administrator in the educational field many times uh these for people that are principles, vice principles, they feel like this just adds to their workload to what they're doing. Do you have a are going to build in a confidential feedback mechanism where they can maybe without even identifying themselves really point out what if this is really working or is it just more busy work that's adding to their their already as you mentioned over overly work daily schedule. >> Thank you. I I appreciate that perspective. I think it is important that we consider their time. uh we know how impacted their schedules are and it's just hard to fit every single thing into a day.
025So, we definitely did consider that from our experience as being administrators and trying to build it into what we're already doing. Um, but I do like your idea for them to be able to give confidential feedback on how this process is going. So, thank you for that, Jack. We can look at adding that into this. >> We do. >> Okay. Um, you said something. You said it's it's not new, but areas that it's already in practice. And this is what Jack I I I'm almost to what you were saying, I am glad that it's just a continuation of what they've been doing because as Jack stated and and I know personally that as we add more and more and more on the principles and and the administrators, it's not going to get done. So, we've
026got to look at how to make it. An evaluation has to be in place. That's a must. We've got to know what's happening, but we also need to make sure that it's within the time frame of their work and their day and their year and what have you. So, please make sure that we're not piling more and more on our principles and administrators, but it is something that has to be done, but we make it as easy for them as can be and to give the great feedback that they need in order to be successful because this what this means. It's an evaluation to see how they're doing with their students success. That's what it all amounts to. But uh the good feedback is necessary. So thank you >> for your time. >> Anything else?
027Nope. Okay. Thank you >> and board. You'll notice that under the agenda item 51 which is review of informationform information item you'll get you'll see the actual documents >> uh that uh assistant superintendent Tcoy uh shared with you in terms of our lead evaluation uh handbook and so >> and we did get copies of yes so we've been reading it. >> Okay. So with that we are moving into facilities update. Mr. Jerry, are you ready? Mr. Little. >> Yes, we are. >> All right. Another item that was moved from our board retreat to here. >> Yes. And good evening board members, Madame President and Superintendent. We will be going through kind of a couple of the projects, few of the projects we did over the summer. It was a busy summer and I appreciate the
028team that we have. But let me um go ahead and get started. I think wrong way. There we go. Over at community outreach academy, we have a few projects over there with countertops at Skavara. Those are still going on actually for some more of the restrooms. Uh four of the TK classrooms got new carpeting or new flooring actually you see down there in the lower right hand corner. Rafferty A. We actually got rid of a lot of the windows there. Full window replacement at that site. Got rid of the single pane windows and put some nice dual pane windows in there. You'll see in that picture. Replace some fire doors and some student restrooms were updated in there as well. Over at Rafferty B. Student restrooms are also updated at that site. And also the
029little walkway cover they have outside Rafferty B. The roof on that was damaged during some of the storms we had last winter. So, we put a new roof over that little walkway as well. And Dudley C, as you know, we're doing a little renovation on that a year after we moved into it to expand the food kitchen area by taking that area for instruction. We actually added the classrooms in the back area, divided one classroom into two and a little office back there, and that's what you see in the lower leftand side. This project should be wrapping up this week. We're going for a final inspection on Thursday, so we should be able to get that in operation. Over at the middle school, um, as many of you know, the Boulevard Avenue has been just
030a rough area for cars to travel on with all the potholes there. So, we were able to fill the potholes in. We haven't yet done the full overlay on that yet because we're waiting to see how we move forward with that property. They are getting a scoreboard and a LED sign on the front. Uh we just got information this morning that that would be installed midocctober and also the damage that was done in the girls restroom has been repaired as long as far as well as some roof repairs and some remediation in the office area and library. Skipped one over at Epic. Uh last year, you know, we did some HVAC upgrades. Well, they repeated it again this year with different parts for the HVAC, but uh all six units are up and running now
031with new cooling towers from last year and also new condensers this year. So hopefully that will keep the building cool and we won't have any more issues with it. They have two new water fountains upstairs. Uh TK classrooms. We have started that work down in suite 150 downstairs. So we just received our permit for that today. So that is well underway with the demo starting a couple weeks ago. Also put new restroom counters in all of the bathrooms in that site. Uh they got some nice solid surface ones now. And the playground as you see there in the pictures was has a port in place now as well. Over at GIS, the four new port four new portables were installed. Those were occupied at the beginning of the school year. running track was installed and
032the turf is being installed this week. Uh phase two will start next week which will be the TK classrooms up in the front corner along with some office space, TK play area and the shade structure which will go out by the track in the back corner of the property. Over at Higher Learning and Futures Futures High School got some new lab stations in the in the one of the labs. You can see those pictures there. It actually expanded the area so you can get more students around a lab station at a time. The detention pond out there was cleaned up and mowed down. Uh we are at DSA right now with the soccer field. We got the first round of comments back. So those are going to go back into DSA. And with those plans,
033we're going to be going out to bid to get our hard numbers on that to see if that's a project we want to move forward with. And also the modular buildings for HLA. A lot of the deck boards were starting to kind of have a little gaps in them, so they came back out and repaired those as well. Over at Sava at Power in, all the AC units were put in the warehouse areas that we were were discussing at the beginning of the summer. So, that was completed. Over at North Market, you can see they put a rollup door in there to get access into straight into the shop area that they're that they're building. And you can see the lifts that are there as well. um that has come together nicely over there down
034in El Grove in 3147 the front building there. They're going to be putting a demising wall which is between what you see in that picture there where the fire truck is and where they're going to have a gym. So, they're working on that permit as well. That is currently in the city of Elgroveve as well as the expansion into the area next door, which you see the kind of the blueprint there for that. We're going to be uh starting that TI probably in the next month or two and that will be giving him three more four more classrooms over there. future projects. We always have more to do here. Um COA Elementary School, you know, we're still working on a couple playgrounds for them. The playground at Deadly Sea where they just had the tennis
035courts now that we are currently have a out to bid on that one. We are going to be submitting that to the county is for the shade structure for the permit as that Dudley B playground expansion. Same thing. We're working with the installers on that one too and that will be going into building department for a permit as well. Deadly sea the gym HVAC that's just an ongoing thing that we got to get done over there. Pavilion the kitchen HVAC that be that's for the kitchen area there. Um currently it has a swamp cooler as well and it's just not keeping up when the temperatures get to 100 degrees for the kitchen staff that are working there. And then for futures in HLA, we're still looking at expanding that campus with some portables, learning center,
036and as we mentioned, the soccer field. And that's the report for that summer. Any questions? >> Yes, Bruce, I think it's >> uh first of all, Jerry, I think you've done a fantastic job over the years. I mean not just of keeping up the huge amount of property we have and maintaining on really a very small staff. Um question on your process for uh process kind of in timeline uh in working with the different sites in coming up with the projects for the summer >> as far as how we work with them on it. Um >> and kind of a timeline. Do you have some specific timelines for them or >> We do I do start bugging them right after Christmas break about their summer projects because we do know that it's a long process
037nowadays to get through the county permitting process. >> So I do start pretty much bugging them right after the uh Christmas break to get started on that. We do have a software now called the sauna that we use as a project management tool. So, it's a communication tool with all the principles that we can put the we can list the project and then put the tasks down there with some fluent dates because dates change in construction as you know, but um we do keep them updated that way as we go through that. So, there's a timeline there as well. So they initiate some projects, but I assume you initiate some based on like HVAC systems and that type of thing that have to be. >> Yeah, there's it works both ways. A lot of times
038they're initiating what they want for the campus and then we kind of bring that up to the cabinet level and see if it's something that we can go forward with and then as we go out to the sites with the team the facilities team with the co, you know, Jose the coordinator or Carl on the site if we see issues that need to be done we bring those up as well. >> Yes, Jack. >> Jerry, you had a busy summer indeed. I can see that. I know you didn't have time to develop it, but I really want to congratulate you and your crew on getting the portables in at the GIS. I I you could spend probably an hour talking to us about all of the hurdles that you had to overcome and they were
039there when school opened and I I have to tell you I I that really impressed me. So I I want you to know that we watched that. >> Well, thank you. That was a team effort with San Juan, too. It wasn't just us, but San Juan Unified really stepped up with uh their construction management team as well to get that done. And they had a good crew on site, so it made it wouldn't say easy, but easier. Jerry, I've said this, each time you give a report, I'm always impressed at what you do and how much you and your limited staff get done over the summer and throughout the year. I can't thank you enough for all of the work and the repairs and everything that you do in order to make students success and
040that's what it's all about. >> We appreciate the support and we do what we can. >> Yes, I concur with what the other board members said, Jerry. Great job. Um, what further are we doing over at GIS? What what's on this on the the next uh plan, >> the next phase? Is there a bathroom or something that we're also >> No, the restrooms were in the last with the other four portables that went in the back. There's a restroom building that went in back there that has a girls, boys, and a staff restroom in that trailer. So, that's in between the existing portables and the new portables. >> Okay. >> Up front, the TK classrooms that go in, they will have restrooms in the in that in that building. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> That's
041the one that they're working on now. They start Yes. And the field is completed then. They're putting the grass on the field this week. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> It's very impressive. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Real grass falls. >> You don't have you >> real grass or the >> It's real grass out there. Yeah. >> Okay. Thank you so much for your report. I think that's Thank you. >> all the statements. Thank you. >> And now we're moving to our very next item. um study session which also was on um our retreat the medical building update. Thank you, Director Deep. >> I'm not good evening board directors, superintendent sample and cabinet. This evening, I'm going to be presenting about actually bringing revenue back to our organization instead of asking for more. So really
042what I want to start off with is by acknowledging my team in here. So the preparation that has gone into all of these initiatives is truly an effort that was put on by my entire special education and student services team. The team has gone above and beyond not only just preparing to advance the work in special education and student services but really taking this new initiative on on medical reimbursement and really have been the driving force in supporting this work. Um, I want to acknowledge their dedication to this department and the commitment that they have to our students. So, with that, um, tonight I want to acknowledge Miss Nicole Strobble, who is our student services coordinator. She's here, and Miss Caitlyn Shelton, who is our special education coordinator. So, they the coordinators are here. And
043then in addition to them, the rest of our support staff, Miss Katherine Day, who is our transition vocational coach, our safe specialist, Miss Tanya Durgel, our administrative assistant, Manosvini Hatur, and then our health clerk, Ena Hud. And all of these ladies are supporting in one way or another. That truly is the driving force behind all of the medical initiatives that we have taken on as a department. So the very So yes, thank you ladies. [Applause] The first initiative is the school-based uh medical administrative activities. And really the word administrative stands out in there is because that is what it's related to but it's widely known as ESMA. So when you'll probably hear us refer to that more than the whole u what the acronym stands for. And this initiative was actually started by Dr. Crawford
044um about twoish years ago, but it takes about 18 months for the first um um check to arrive and there are quarterly checks within this initiative and we have to be enrolled in this and active in order for us to do any other medical billing. So this got started a while ago. So that did take the groundwork for us to get going with the rest of the initiatives. So the ESMA is random moment in time survey where select staff are randomly asked to document what activities they're doing at a given time. So a staff member could receive a survey say on October 15th tell us what you are doing at 11:05 a.m. And that staff member has basically 72 hours from that moment to tell them what they were doing at 11:05 on that day.
045And so what it does is this really helps us capture all the activities tied to medical outreach and student health support. And these documents allow us to claim federal reimbursement for these activities which really should help us um st um reduce the strain that we have on our general funds. And those dollars that are supposed to be earned through this initiative should be reinvested back into our school health counseling and wellness programs which should be helping us strengthen our student um support for our students. And this is particularly tied to special education only. So the ESMA the next initiative which we started back in early spring of last school year is our local educational agency billing option program widely known as LEA BOP and this initiative pretty much allows schools to uh do medical billing
046directly for anything related to health and mental health services provided to eligible students. So the two types of billing, the first one is IEP billing. For this, we can claim reimbursement for medical covered services provided directly by our qualified providers, helping us pretty much offset the required special education costs. And then the other component of is the nonIEP side. And in this um we can also bill for medical services which brings in funding to support the broader student health and wellness program. In short, this program is going to help us cover costs that we are already required to provide to our students and then in return the goal is to reinvest these costs back into student support services. So how does LEA Bob uh or what is what is the eligible services and providers that
047can bill under LEABOP? So we get to bill for a wide range of student health services in this um so for instance um student health assessments nursing services so such as diabetes management medication administration um our nursing so the nursing team will get to build for that our speech and speech therapists occupational physical therapists all of the mental health uh support that is provided by our psychologists and school counselors um case management and even specialized transportation for eligible students um should be covered under that. And these services have to be delivered by staff that that are qualified such as our school psychologists, speech therapists, nurses, our occupational therapists, occupational and physical therapists and school counselors. This ensures that the students uh health and wellness needs are met while also allowing us to recover some of
048the costs um through medical reimbursement and LiABOP is only medical reimbursement and we cannot build to private insurance for this and I'm happy to report that um state has accepted our enrollment. uh as of last week we have already went into the portal registered ourselves as providers. All of the GCC schools are part of the GCC consortium. So they will bill under we will bill under one and we are um planning on rolling this effective as of October 1st. So around the corner. The next initiative that we have been working on is uh part of actually the Skoi consortium which is the California children and healthy uh children and youth behavioral health initiative widely known as CBHI and that's normally the name we all refer to and this is a statewide initiative focused on transforming
049behavior health for children um ages basically newborn to 25. The emphasis on this is really early intervention prevention and early intervention in a timely manner within school setting. And the goal behind this is that the reason the state is allowing this initiative because what they want to do is they want to uh reduce barriers for family and any cost associated with that if they were to go outside and utilize outside providers. So the most important co component I want to point out is that it sets clear guidelines for reimbursement to school related services. So GCC is participating in this as part of the SKO consortium. So our goal is really is to ensure that our students um benefits are expanded with the support that our team will be providing. Um oops that did not I
050don't know what happened. All right so how does this initiative works? Um perfect the next one. Okay so some of the eligible services and who are going to be our providers. So through this initiative um we are allowed uh to support with wide range of health behavioral health services from one-on-one and group counseling to doing risk assessment screenings um provide therapy to students, psycho education and case management. And these supports are delivered by our qualified providers such as school counselors, social workers, the LMFT in GCC as well as wellness coaches and any community partners that we may partner with in the future. And together um this expands our um initiative to provide timely school-based behavioral health care for all of our students. So all these initiatives and so what does that really look like? That
051looks like a lot of work in the background and a lot of work our providers have to put in and commitment from our team to support that we are doing it with compliance. So just an important reminder with that is all of these things our providers are already doing. So this is nothing new that we're added on. It is just a matter of how are we appropriately tracking this in order for us um to get reimbursement from the state. So all of our licensed and credential providers are doing this initiative. So with these initiatives we are going to follow um the medical guidelines um their strict guidelines and claims uh will be submitted to the state for reimbursement. The funds are then to be reinvested back into student health supports which are going to be
052guided by the LEA BOP and the C byHI committees. So part of the requirement is both of them have to have committees who are going to be the driving force of where the funds are spent. So to stay compliant um we're required to track all of the services that are provided, maintain strict guide uh documentation standards, ensure that all providers are uh properly credentialed and prepare for uh possible state and federal audits which are going to happen for a fact. Every year they will happen. In order to do this, um, we will be making sure that we are providing ongoing staff training and have internal monitoring with our team to mitigate, uh, risk and ensure that the program remains sustainable. And with that, I will entertain questions. >> Mr. Turner, >> really impressive. So, let
053me summarize here. As I understand it, we're now going to be billing back for the services that we've been providing. I have a question for for Jason. This obviously is something new, correct? >> No. So, uh, small are back in the day, we just used to call it MA has been around for quite some time. School districts have done it for years. Uh, even when I, >> uh, back in the 2000s worked for Western Plaster Unified, uh, we did this a lot. So, >> have we been doing it at at Gateway? >> No, this will be new for us. >> This is new for Gateway. So, we could have been doing this at soon. >> Can I can I >> No, it's just a question I have. So, it's I know it's existed in the
054past for other districts and so forth, but it's something new for us. >> This is something that is new for us. >> Oh, yes. You had to have a staff in order to do it and that was the issue. >> Okay. >> Because it is very very time consuming. I did it in real Linda when I was director of special education and it took a whole bunch of people working together to get this done. So it wasn't >> it really will magn magnify the services that we can provide and so forth to the to the students in this program and their families. A follow-up question. Medical obviously is a state program, >> but it is somewhat underridden by the federal program also. Is the recent changes in the federal funding to the states. Is that
055going to impact our ability to use this program? >> So, um, not that we are aware of. Um, we are pretty much told is that we continue building medical the way it is. Um so we'll see if it does affect us. But the second initiative, the CBHI, so ESMA and um LEABOP are the federal one, but the CYBHI is a state initiative. So that will be built directly to the state. So that's completely separate from the other two. >> Okay. >> So pretty much all three are separate different buckets that we have to work in and document separately for within different systems. Thank you very and and Jason, we can't retroactively go back and build up first. >> I see where your question I see what we're leading down with the question. >> No, we
056can't unfortunately retroactive is July 1st of 2025. >> No, we can't. That's it. >> Just I'll only back to July 1st. So, we will be swooping the system. >> De very impressive and glad that uh uh glad that we have this in place. Um are because we're probably going to be audited most likely. Do you have a self audit program in place >> yourself or what? >> So all of our system um all of our providers will be tracking their services within SAFE are um the online system that we have already adopted and have been using for many years to track IEPs. So that's where all of our providers, the nurses and the counselors will be tracking their services there. But every month they have to certify their services. So they will be submitting their
057signature on the required documentation for each month. So that's something our team will be undertaking and doing just um spot checks to support us to make sure that everything is in compliance. >> Okay. Good. >> Yes. >> Uh second question. So you said that these monies we get back from the state will be reinvested back into the program. Can you just give me any any examples of maybe how those dollars what programs are how how they'll be reinvested back into it? >> I uh yeah I can talk a little bit about that. Um so some of our positions are already uh funded through grants. So for instance currently three and half of my my own positions within my department are funded through grants. So part of it is let's continue paying for these providers um
058or these uh staff member to continue supporting the department. The LMFT is one of the other positions. So part of that will be into those positions. Another thing that we have been speaking about is uh when we do vision screening we provide the families with um the results but not all families can afford to get the glasses for the students. So that has been something my the nursing team have talked about over time. So our goal is is that something that the committee can lean towards wanting to do it for our families and maybe support some of those very needy ones and then the rest will be determined by the committee depending on how much are we talking about receiving annually on how we it'll be utilized. So it'll be a commitment and a team
059effort to decide that. >> Thank you. appreciate it. Okay, >> thank you. And just from personal experience, this is a lot of work keeping record and documenting and all of that and you got to have the staff to do it. So, oh yes, Mrs. Black, I'm sorry. >> Uh, Jack asked my question, but I the reason I was going to ask that question because this morning I saw where a lady went and got a co shot cost her $200 and Medicare didn't pay for it. And then I'm saying what's going on in this world today? >> The co shot $200. >> Wow. >> And they still they still debating that one. So, you know, we got some issues that on the other side. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Thank you so much for bringing
060that to us. And >> yes. >> Yeah. We really want to appreciate your staff because it takes staff to do this. I know I was really working hard to get it done some time ago, many years ago trying to get it done with the staff that I had and I had quite a bit. So, thank you again for your hard work. Really appreciate it. >> Thank you. >> All right. Oh, we're back to Thank you. to lead formally. Is that you? Yeah. >> Info leadership evaluation. >> Uh >> yes. So, Madame President and members of the board, uh your item 51 is just anformational item. Yeah. >> Uh these are the documents that assistant superintendent shared in her presentation. So no actionary uh information that we're providing. >> All right. Great. We have the consent
061agendas right now before we go into uh the an actual audit. So board members, here we go. We have our consent agenda items and I will go down them very quickly so others can hear what we are looking at. Approve adoption of GCC board meeting 8/1925. Approve personnel consent agenda. Approve purchases over 30,000. Approve disposal and surplus technology. Approve board policy update which is new. Approveou with Sacramento County Office of Education and American School Council Association. Approve curriculum adoption community collaborative charter school GCC virtual academy summit K12 for English learners approve school field trip and that's CCC high school camp roll camp Ross Ris and approve job description update or revisions these are the items under consent agenda. Did you move me? >> Yes, Madam President. Before the board makes a motion or takes action,
062staff would like to uh make one minor adjustment to the board policy uh student policy 0625, which is the attendance recovery policy. And uh I give you my apologies. On bullet three, it says students may make up to one day. That actually was an error in typing. It should be 10 days. And so we are going to ask the board to take action on that policy to say 10 days, not one day. And I have copies for the board. >> Okay. Would you please pass those so they can see what it is that we're talking about? >> Yes, Jack. >> I with the amendment uh to making it 10 days. I move approval of the consent agenda. >> Okay. >> Second. >> May I have a second? >> Second. >> You have a second. Okay.
063Do we have any more discussion or questions or anything on the uh consent agenda items? And with the information you have that has been also included in the uh in the uh >> Board packet. Thank you. All right. Anything else on that? Okay. I will do roll call. All right. Mark Anderson, >> yes. >> Harry Block, >> yes. >> Jack Turner, >> yes. >> Lily Campbell, yes. Okay, so the consent agenda items have been approved with the correction of the 10 days. Okay, thank you. All right, moving now into business. Are you ready now? We are ready for you. approve 202425 an audit actuals. Thank you. >> Good evening, President Campbell, superintendent sample and trustees cabinet. Um I will be presenting our 2425 unodudited actuals. I will also be presenting um the resolution for to
064reallocate income for fiscal year 2425 for special education. So we'll go ahead and get started with our unodited actuals. Before I start our PowerPoint, I want to recognize my team. I did not put a specific slide up here this time, but this is a uh joint effort from um our staff that maybe is not necessarily involved, but they sometimes feel the impact of us being busy and being focused on closing the books. So, I want to thank my staff and others in in the central office that sometimes need something and they're having to wait until we're we're completed. I also had a personal family matter that my staff stepped up and and helped uh finish up the book in in certain areas that they could support. So, I want to thank um our director, Valerie
065Rogers, that's back here. um our supervisor of fiscal services, Ivon Graaser, even though this is not her role, she stepped in and supported on some of the things that I needed help on. And then Cindy uh Ponikvar, which is back here, and uh Mia Vang and Sophia Cornnejo, that is also another supervisor of fiscal services. So, I want to thank them and everybody else that you know helped indirectly during this time. Okay, going to get started. Okay. Always press the wrong button. Okay, there we go. Okay. Background and purpose of our unodudited actuals. This is a financial statement showing the actual financial results of our previous fiscal year. So, we're already in 2526, but we're presenting the the final 2425 numbers. This shows your revenue, your expenses, and statement of financial position or the balance
066sheet. Uh this is required to be submitted to our oversight districts and our county office of education and um ultimately the California Department of Ed. Um and that is due September 15th. So we're a little early, but this is our September board meeting. So we're presenting today. Okay. I'm going to go over our revenues from our general fund. For our LCFF um sources, we had a surplus of 8761,000. That becomes part of our P2 revisions our prior year trueups. So, uh even though we we get numbers now for P2, the state does revisions up through I believe three times in terms of um our attendance reporting. So once uh that all gets tred up that's that's the variance we had. Um state revenue there was a large increase due oh I skipped federal. So federal
067had a a small variance of 21,000 under.5 of a percent and that's just due to the amounts of unearned uh programs that we didn't spend. So that's just being carried over or deferred to the following year. For state revenue, we had a large number um variance from estimated to unodudited actuals and that's due to the SB740 other costs. So we are allowed to uh report other costs in terms of uh utilities, other type of facility work and that counts towards a reimbursement. So we did apply, we got a good chunk of that money back and so that's a reflection of that. We never book it because we never know what we're going to get. Um, but it was a good chunk of money. Our local revenue increased um from estimated actuals due to the increase
068in gains in our investment account. So that's the final uh true up of our investment account. It did have although decreases in rate and decreases in interest uh income but neted out that's what our variance is is 753,000 uh with a total variance of 3 million in total uh from 130 uh million which is only about 2% difference. Okay, here's our revenue components. As you can see, the biggest chunk of money we receive is LCFF sources. That makes up 65%. Sometimes it makes up more. You can see the chunk of other state has um a large um probably about a fourth. It's about a fourth of the pie of money and that's really due to big state grants have come through in last year. Um so Golden State Pathway making up 4.3 million. um California
069uh schools partnership grant is also in that chunk of 11.4 million and we have other small programs that are going away like the dual enrollment of 100k for our five um schools that serve high schools. So, um, a lot of that I anticipate next year kind of dwindling down and having more LCFF be the prime, um, category in this pie chart. Just wanted to point that out. For our expenses for certificated and classified, those were pretty close uh, under 1% variance. It's really just due to savings uh, from hourly employees. those are really hard to kind of determine, especially now that we've moved to hourly uh pay for our classified. Um it's also any unfilled positions that we potentially uh had through the end of the year from um May into uh the end of
070this through September. Uh benefit savings directly correlated to the savings and certificated and classified salaries. It also has to do with uh who's eligible for stirs and pers. We budget assuming everybody's going to get that retirement. Sometimes people don't don't qualify or due to the time that they spent with us, they don't qualify for that. So, uh that will trigger some savings in that category. Our books and supplies category had a variance of 600,000. That has to do with what we budget in ELOP. We always make sure we budget conservatively in case they have to uh buy any supplies during the summer because they're running summer school programs. Same with our other summer school programs that don't have ELOP. There's there's contracts, there's supplies, also textbook uh curriculum or adoption sometimes are encumbered but don't
071materialize until July or August. So that's what that savings is for services and other operating expense. Same thing. It's the ELOP um summer school uh contracts that potentially we have that roll into July. So, we'll see some of that spending happen in July. Some of it is true savings and some of it is going to be spent in July or was spent in July because we're already in September. Uh capital outlay, that one had a variance of 2.4 and that's really uh the incumbrances that did not materialize in this given year. Some of the projects that make up that that number are the GIS expansion. So, we did budget the full 8.3 million. Not the whole amount was paid out in that year. So, some of that is that the Epics uh two TK classrooms
072were encumbered. Didn't materialize 100%. We're still working on that project. and some of the TK um the the TK playgrounds that are happening at COA, the playground at Dudley C, and then the kitchen expansion at Dudley C. So, so those are some of the projects that make up those encumbrances. Those incumbrances will roll over to the following year and we'll spend some of that from our our reserves or our beginning balance, ending balance of this year. Okay. other outgo that's just our lease uh payments, our uh debt schedules, and that was a rounding $3 difference. So, those are pretty accurate. Okay, this is our pie chart for our expenditures. Our salaries and benefits make up about 63%. Um that's pretty close to what it was last year. I want to do I want to note
073that 23% um services seems large compared to districts but I want to remind you that we pay our technology services out of that category transportation our contracted subs a lot of scoot subs swing subs come out of that category special education contracts and food services so those are some of the contracts that come out of services um and in traditional school districts those would be salaries and benefits So, just want to point that out. Here are the profit and loss statements by site. Um, I am happy to um announce that all of our sites for the exception of GIS, and I'll explain that letter later, but uh have a positive unrestricted fund balance. You really can't see this because this is restricted and unrestricted together. Uh, but they all lived within their means with their
074revenue minus expenses. They were still in the positive. Some pretty close to zero, but still in the positive. So, I'm happy to announce that. Obviously, GIS had a large construction project that was happening in the 6,000 category, which is your capital outlay. They spent 3.7. You can see that their net increase to decrease was 2.8. So, if you were to remove that project, they were also in the positive. So, I want to, you know, affirm all our school principles and our staff to ensure that they're staying within their their means and spending the money that they they're getting every year in the students of that year. Um, there's large restricted balances that I want to kind of point out. I'm not going to go over all these numbers. It's a lot of numbers. But on
075the restricted side, there's a large numbers and I'll kind of go over what it is in each of those. So for CCCS you have the uh California community partnership program school program in the restricted area also uh CSI carryover is in that restricted column for COA you have the ELO funds that really make up that balance the 1.4 four for futures. They also have they're part of the consortium lead of uh community schools partnership program and they also have the dual enrollment funding. Uh for HLA it's ELOP that that amount is is made up of ELOP primarily for GIS that's really low that's just ongoing deferred carryover. So that's not much that they have. have they don't have any big big uh carryovers. Their elop has been depleted with the project for GIS for the
076for the portables in the field that happened. We used up their carryover for that. For Epic um they are at 765. They still have a quite a bit of uh money from the U LCFF equity multiplier funding. So that's still kind of rolling over for Sava Twin Rivers. The 2.3 is made up of the Golden State Pathways. So they they got a good amount of funds in that category. Same with the other two SAS. So 4.4 and 1.6 the three SAS um have Golden State Pathways as well as Sava Sac City has the California Schools Partnership Program in that $4.4 million balance. I'll just stay a little bit on this slide so you can see in total we have facility reserves of 53 million. That's 44% of your expenses. So about half a year's worth
077of reserves just in facilities. We have 10% of sustainability for reserves, 5% for economic uncertainty. So we are well um maintained in all of our sites. All of our sites have the minimum for the exception right now of GIS. They don't have the full facility, but they do have their full sustainability of reserve, which we thought was going to get tapped into. It has not. So, that's good news. Okay. Our fund balance um started at 78.7. we had a surplus or an increase of restricted and unrestricted um funds of 14.4. Again, I want to point out that we had that those big uh grants, the Golden State Pathway, the California U Schools Partnership Program that is in that 14.4 million makes up 93.1. And then down below, you can see some of the set aides
078that were just disclosed on the previous page. Okay. Um some other um the categories down below. Uh restricted programs can be used only for specific purposes. Obviously this is restricted grant funds. Non-spendable is your revolving cash and prepaid expenditures. your facilities. And then we talk about the the three reserves we usually talk about all the time in our budget meetings, which is the 15% at least facility set aside, 10 for reserve for sustainability, and five for economic uncertainty and I'm on to my last slide. Happens so fast. Um so our next step summary our next steps is that um this coming up month we will have our auditors Gilbert and Associates come in and review our unodudited actuals make our final audited actuals. So if there's any adjustments any corrections that need to be done
079they make those corrections and we'll present that to you guys in January. Um we will start having budget meetings to start the 2526 school year. Uh we'll distribute carryover. We'll find out what site needs are, get site plans, uh review my impact on the future years, and then we'll be back in December to present our first interim for the next year. So I will entertain any questions. >> All right. I know board members >> I know you have questions. Yes, Mr. Jack. I I want to thank you and your staff. Uh I I know I get repetitive on this, but it with nine charters, it's like nine school districts. I mean, it that to the outside world, that's really hard to explain that the the workload that it takes. So, I I want to say
080congratulations on that. I I had very very long talk with Ommyra about the budget and so forth and just but one of the points I I do want to make in looking at this and it she mentioned it. I think if you look at our salary infringement benefits now and you roll in our contracts for outside services it's well over 70%. And that is going to increase significantly I think this year as a result of our restructuring of our salary schedule and and if you also and she didn't highlight this but if our growth really levels off we're not going to have any in significant increase in revenue. I think it's something for us all in this room and and for the GCCA, the gateway totally to really uh take notice that that we need
081to start looking at trying to maximize the the income that we can and kind of prepare for the future. Uh because we're this is a a very very good budget. It's not a great budget, but it's one that I would really like to say that that it shows that we're a very healthy organization and and uh just kind of if we look at our future now, I think it's one of the things that we really want to focus on is let's remain healthy and it's very easy to slip out of that that box if you're not careful. So anyway, thank you again. >> Thank you. So yeah, I did mention um that as I was doing my narrative, we do yeartoear. I always have my prior year open at the same time. Last year the
082growth in enrollment was about 4%. This year was only about 1.5 to 2%. So it is declining or staying flat. We've also seen some enrollment stagnants in some of our schools this year. And so it's either going to stay flat or down. So, we're we're treading carefully and we're we're going to be cautious moving forward. >> Yes. I was just going to add to that, you know, uh in addition to not only our enrollment kind of looking like that, it is something that we're seeing across the charter school spectrum. not just us but some of our other local partners are experiencing a very similar um uh trajectory that I think also school districts are as the youth and children population of California is shifting. So uh thank you Director Turner. We are very attuned to
083that and and we'll kind of keep working on that as well as we look at other strategies that we can also use as a GCC to to continue to build revenue such as our LEA BOP and uh you know different strategies. >> Okay. >> Sorry. >> I also wanted to complement the the hard work that goes into this. It's a lot of work and I understand that. I also want to compliment the sites and the management, the administration for listening to what you and others were telling them about we were a new reality and we need to be very concerned and and cautious with our spending and they had listened to it and I was very impressed with with seeing that in the in the numbers as well. So, thank you. I want to thank
084you and your staff and give our uh sympathy. You was so glad that things weren't any worse than they were. Saw the pictures of your the accident and you came through even in the crisis. So thank you for that and we certainly are very glad that he is okay and we shall continue to offer good thoughts and prayers for his recovery and everything. >> Thank you. >> So thank you for the work that you're doing and for all of the struggles and what have you that we go through each day. So thank you. Anything else? We need to take a vote on the uh approve the 2024 2025 unactual the un audit actuals. >> Yes. >> Move approval. >> Second. We have a Okay. Roll call. Mark Anderson. >> Yes. >> Harry Block. >> Yes.
085>> Jack Turner. >> Yes. >> Lily Campbell. Yes. And I have a note from Mr. Mandrich who had to leave and uh he said he had no uh questions and he also gave his approval. So the uh an actual audit for 2425 is approved unanimously. So thank you very much. Thank you and thank the staff again those who are still with us. I see two fa three faces three faces. Thank you for sticking with us and being here. All right. Thank you. And we have one other item. Approve resolution to reallocate income for fiscal year 202425. >> Okay. You have a slide and uh it should be on your agenda. It's um asking for approval of board resolution 20252026-9 which is the reallocation of income for fiscal year 20425. Um GCC schools are formed as
086a consortium through the Elorado County Office of Education uh charter SULPA and uh based on ED code 56836.05B 05B allows the Elorado County Charter Special Education Local Plan Area to develop and allocate a plan and plan authorizes a charter management organizations which would be GCC to reallocate state and federal funds among the charters local education agencies within their authority. And so what we do is we really look at the need. We really don't restrict special education in terms of serving our students. If they have an IEP, then we serve those needs and we move based on uh the need at each particular site uh revenues to ensure we maximize um that allocation. Is there any questions? >> Any questions? >> Okay, we will entertain a motion. >> Move approval. >> Second. Any other discussions, comments,
087questions? Hearing none. Roll call. Mark Anderson. Yes. >> Harry Block. >> Yes. >> Bruce Jack Turner. >> Yes. >> Lily Gamble. Yes. All right. So, that item has been approved uh to reallocate income for special ed. Thank you so much. All right. Let's see where else we are. Okay. Under personnel, we move into 11 personnel. approved GCC employee hand handbook revised and uh we got that and >> read through it. So any comments or questions or anything at this time before we have a you going to >> I have no question. I was going to move approval. >> All right. Thank you. >> Second. >> All right. Any other discussion? Anything on that item? Roll call. Mark Anderson. >> Yes. Harry Block, >> yes. >> Jack Turner, >> yes. >> Lily Campbell, yes. So, that
088item has been approved. And the next item under personnel, 11 personnel, approve health and other insurance benefits plan 2026 and employee contribution amounts. Uh, you are going to make comments on that? >> Yes, Madam President. We're just here to answer any questions that the board uh may have, but we don't have a formal presentation other than to say >> uh these are the >> uh numbers for 2025. Our propose is a reflective of a 4% increase. >> Okay, >> we got that. Um >> So move approval and a second. Any other discussions, comments, questions hearing? None. We will now take the vote. Mark Anderson, >> yes. >> Harry Block, >> yes. >> Jack Turner, >> yes. >> Lily Campbell, yes. So, that item has been approved and uh we congratulate you and and all of
089the staff for your health insurance. Thank you. >> Miss Laura Beran is our my co-pilot in uh benefit. So, thank her for >> well, please give her our congratulations and thanks when you see us. >> And again, Madame President, just on behalf of staff, um this is again another one of those examples that you as a board always do to ensure that our staff uh is valued and we live that core value of valuing our people. And so, uh thank you for the uh 4% increase in uh health and wellness benefits. We >> certainly tried to do our best for sure. So with that okay with that uh our guest we will be moving to close sessions and the close session is conference regarding real estate negotiations pursuant to government code 549 56.8 and we
090will be coming back. I did miss one item board comments. Sorry about that. Let me please go back up to board comments. Board comments, any comments at this point, board members? No. Okay. Well, we do have closing comments when we come back. So, we'll check we'll check it again. All right. So, with that, we will be going into close session and we will be coming back to report out. Okay. [Music] back from close session and no uh decisions. just information only from close session. And we do have a comment from the superintendent at this point. >> Yes.
