There anything on the consent agenda that anybody would like to motion to approve the consent motion from Dr. vote as well. And Larry, I motion to agree that the consent agenda passes unanimously. And Ken Parks are all ready for us. We're going to go now to the board items in the March 2025 Delta 3 financial update. All right. Um Josh, would you be sharing? Can you can you share your screen this time, Ken? Yes. Thank you. All right. Good evening everyone. Um,
004tonight I'll be presenting Sabas March. I'm sorry. Mark, please proceed. All right. Um, well, tonight I'll be presenting uh SAS March financial update. So, this page is the the summary nar page uh which summar summarizes uh tonight's update. So we can move on to the next page here. So um on the uh budget versus actuals summary page uh we are comparing the approved um 2425 second intern budget in the first column. uh and the actuals as of uh March 31st, 2025 is the actual numbers that has transpired as of March 31st. And um so overall uh we have received about 56% of the budgeted revenue which is about $5.7 million and we spent about 75% of the budgeted expenditures or 7.4 4 million uh of the budget. So this page is the uh budget details
005page. Uh basically the same numbers but in more itemized details. So um it's going to be a quick one. Uh not much has changed since the February update. So starting from the revenue, uh most of the the revenue sources are being received as expected. Uh the federal um special ed fundings will be recorded uh by the end of the fiscal year which is around June. Uh as well as the uh one-time state revenues uh under other state revenues uh those will be uh recorded around June as well. And have we seen any disruption to money flowing from the feds? Uh uh from the feds right now. Um not that I am noticing. Uh but we are keeping a close eye on the legislature side of things. So um if we do see any major disruptions,
006I'll be sure to include that on the notes on the uh future updates. All right. So, uh on the expenses, uh seems like all expenses are on track as well. Um there are no uh substantial um notice or red flags that requires your attention at this time. uh so and we will have a better idea about the final numbers uh during unodited actuals um which will be presented in December or September sorry budget uh be a few areas where we're over 100% of technical stipens were 170%. What does that mean? Uh see stipens. Uh so 170% means it has been uh underbudgeted. So we're a little over uh $300 as of March 31st. So we'll have that uh uh overbudgeted uh by the end of the year. But stipens generally are little uh challenging uh
007budgeting those numbers because they do fluctuate uh throughout the year how much they will be given out and who will be receiving those. So those um those are little uh challenging uh trying to pinpoint the budget numbers. Any other questions? All right. Uh moving on to the cash flow. Um this basically shows the monthly cash flow showing the inflow and outflow of the cash. Uh so we started off the year in July with around $5 million in cash and at the end of the March uh we have about $4.5 million in cash and we're expected to end the year with around $5.2 million uh in June in June 30th or 204 days cash on hand uh which in my opinion is a very stable uh amount of cash reserves. All right, last but not least,
008we have a balance sheet. Um, this shows the snapshot of SA's financial status um as of uh March 31st in this case. So overall we have about $13 million um in assets whereas we have uh 6.3 million in liabilities which makes uh SA with about 6.8 million in uh net assets or net worth of the school. And that concludes the March update. Thank you. Thank you so much. Any questions? I'm sorry, Michael. Can you repeat the question? Is Mr. Park in 6? No, he's not. Thank you, Jim. Thank you. Hey, Josh. Yes. Okay. So, um, SA is already started the process for our 2520 2425 audit. And um one thing that the auditors recommended we do was to do a deeper dive into SABA's financial management practices and specifically make sure that we have checks
009in place so that we can prevent any fraud from occurring in SA. So I created this presentation. This is based on our current uh fiscal uh uh management procedures and um I thought based on what we discussed here uh we could maybe update our fiscal management procedures to uh the last time we approved these was in 2020. So it's been a few years. I'm going to take you through that. Um got about 12 slides here and we'll get into this some moment. So, uh, starting off, uh, cash handling. Uh, it's important that we all deposit all cash and checks within seven days. Um, that's what our procedure manual says. And so, when do we have cash on hand? If we have events, basically. So, if we host dances, if we um host any type of
010uh you know the Halloween party, the haunted house where kids are paying in cash, uh movie nights, um we collect that money and then that'll go into a cash box and ideally we want to get that into the bank within 24 hours, but definitely within seven days. There's a specific process to count that cash has to be counted by two people and there's a specific form that they fill out before they take it over for deposit bank. um travel guidelines. We document all travel expenses for reimbursement purposes. So if they're going to travel more than 30 miles away from SA, they can get reimburseed for that and the procedure to do that. It's very clear. For example, we're planning for a few teachers to go out to a summer avid summer institute in Sacramento and
011an email saying this is how you can be reimbured for your gas to go out to go out back from Sacramento. Um, purchasing procedures. All purchases must receive prior approval. Um, asset tracking, conduct inventories of fixed assets valued at $10,000 or more. That one would be an area I don't think. Well, we do not do an inventory every year. So, it'd be interesting to take a look at are we missing something from that inventory we need to improve in that particular area, but tracking that over the summer. And obviously, the assets that we do have are tracked with on our books, but we're not going back sign that we do have on hand every year. So with something like Chromebooks, would you take that total of all that fixed asset? Well, the fixed asset a
012Chromebook would not be a fixed asset there. But um yeah, we do have a a life cycle of Chromebooks and then we try to purchase, you know, a certain amount every year to replenish the ones that are need uh life cycle expiring. And so this year, I think we're we books at any one time, we need to have about 600 books on site. This would be more for like uh like um something a fixed said is something that can uh um that's fixed to the building. It's going to be last more last more than one year. So like water pumps or something that can be depreciated. So we've installed new water pumps, HVAC system, the PA system that we installed, those type of things. Yeah. All right. Uh slide two, a little bit more depth
013on the cash handling policies and procedures. Um Rosine Fonte, who's our director of human resources and operations, is the cash coordinator and she oversees all cash and check transactions. She's very detail- oriented. We trust her 100%. Um and that is something that she excels at. uh she probably make bank runs either for checks that we get from various um like from the state once or twice a week along with maybe a cash from a particular event. Um and then the volunteer coordinator will be responsible for handling checks, not we don't really get checks for uh fundraising u but cash and then they'll deposit that with Rosie who will take it to the bank. Um like I shared earlier, deposit timeline, we have to have everything deposited within seven days. Um, and the volunteer coordinator, who'sever
014leading the event, needs to submit a deposit summary to the cash coordinator. Fundraising. Um, volunteer coordinator manages the collection of cash and checks. They ensure that all donations are reported accurately and that receipts are issued to each donor. Uh, we have a SA public schools foundation that issues um scholarships every year uh for $3,000 to six students is what we typically do. And um we're going out to try to get more donations and um we're finding some success with that. So as those donations come in uh we would make sure that we get the proceeds out to the people who are giving the money for the scholarships. Did you ever uh was there ever you ever able to put together a board? We have a board. It's made up of Rosie Fonte and myself and
015then uh Daniel Ornellis who's a former SA employee CFO at Dan Sanifi uh and uh Jackie Alcala who is our former student services coordinator and we meet twice a year one time in December for dispersement or um senior support where they can receive additional money for their college applications And then in April or May when we approve the dispersements for the scholarships and that money found there was a large donor who gave probably $300,000 at one time or more. Um and that's currently at the community foundation. Um and so they send the statements quarterly and then checking account associated with that and they'll write checks to that account. So you only get No, it's slowly being depleted but probably we did the math on it. We 8 to 10 years unless we are able to
016secure more donors which we're already we're going to either have we'll have a bank uh providing for one scholarship every year and then we've got a few other people lined up. So, I might extend it. It was uh like $2,000 over four years, but you'd get to have it again each year, but we stopped that and we just did a one time. So, this the money that was in the account would last longer. We changed that probably 2021 2022 time period. And then just for full transparency, we did give out support staff, teacher um awards from that fund. Uh but we do a lot of politicking and some hurt emotions. We've moved away from that and now we do just an empty staff party, but we don't have like a dollar monetary amount for like
017the teacher of the year or support staff of the year. Well, the generous dollar $300,000. As far as I know, it was for the mission of state college. So when I became a part of that board, the two dispersements that they had were always scholarships awards for staff members. Yeah. practice. Um, we paused it last year. We're not going to do it again this year either. So, we could bring it back. Um, I would just want to see a way where it can feel like it's rewarding the teacher who's have put in a lot of time and dedication without hurting other people's feelings or sometimes we would give this award at the end of year staff party and then the person would even be at the party, you know, and then then I'd always get
018like why did this person get it over or that person that so And to be totally transparent, this year instead of doing that, we're going to get some type of SA t-shirt or vest or something that we're going to give to all the staff. So that'll be given out party. That's where we ended this year. But, you know, we decide to go back to that practice, the board could, you know, the teacher, somebody came up and said, "I really want to get back to that." We discussed that at the foundation board meeting back into it. Um, okay. Pre-approval process. All proposed purchases must receive my approval. Um, and so we have that in a couple different ways. Uh, if it's Amazon, all the approvals have to go through me. So, if they submit an Amazon
019purchase request, I approve it before it goes out. Um, the same thing for any orders through Staples. Those are our most common purchases. Uh we do have a save a credit card and uh there's two save a credit cards. Rosie and Fonte has one and I have one and they have the staff members have to request a credit card for me or from Rosie with the reason why they need to use it. The most common reason is they'll be buying pizza for an upcoming event or a celebration of some type or we'll use the credit card maybe when we go to purchase food for the retreat at the school year. Purchases under $10,000 only require my approval. So, if they're over 10,000, then we need the board board's approval. Um, which I'm bringing one for
020your um for your approval later on in this meeting. Uh, and I want to be super clear on that, too. If it's standalone expenses, but like let's say that there is uh expenses associated with the budget that we've already approved, then I'm not bringing those because there's a lot of expenses that are more than 10,000, but it's say for a curriculum or for uh something that was already within the budget. Um, and so for a while I was sending you all of those. You said, "Isn't this part of the budget that we've already approved?" Said, "Yes." So, we kind of move forward with that procedure. But if there's some one-time type of purchase that wasn't already in the budget, you know, that's bringing forward. Um, so that's a gray area. And so, I'm bringing this
021now. We could revisit that as we create our updated policy. Yeah. Um so um one of the things I get from here it's uh the whole question and one of the questions came up in conversation was credit card but I'm wondering why I mean reference credit card sort I was wondering why you wouldn't put credit card up there coordinator and the volunteer coordinator everything all cash [Music] uh no I think we could definitely say that and to be super clear. Right now, I approve like an accounts payable once a week on Tuesday. Um, and that's got all the invoices that need to go out. It's usually between 15 and say 40 items. And there's recurring items and there's one time items on that accounts payable invoice that or accounts payable that are approved. Um, the
022credit card statement is often included in that, but before that can be included on the accounts payable page spreadsheet, she needs to have all the receipts because on the first page, it's all the transactions with the dollar amount from the vendor. And then subsequent to that, there's every invoice or receipt that we have. And so she puts say 10 transactions that were purchased through the save credit card. Those receipts have to be in that accounts payable app on Tuesdays. Um, so somebody goes out to buy a pizza with a credit card, bring the receipt back, and Rosie then gets credit card state and she has to go take the receipt and match it up to a line. That's correct. How often does it happen that all the reason for Um I say well she just
023sends an email out and I feel like she usually gets them probably once every month or two she will send out that email. Um not often I would say sometimes we'll go we don't hear it and then I feel like we had one recently and the last one probably in January. Um but then it's like I'm missing these receipts and then that won't be paid until we have all the receipts. hold on to credit card bill. So the bill's sitting there. I'm not going to say I approve the accounts table to go out through EMS to pay all these vendors including the credit card company until we have the backup for judgments. It gets paid. It gets paid. We always I it's honestly never came up where we've had not had all the receipts. And
024yeah, you're right. If we if I just said, "Well, we're not we don't have the receipts. I'm not approving it." Yeah. Then we charge the 18% interest or whatever it is. What I did is I pass said 2024 and I used my handy dandy PDF. I was impressed. the itemiz. Yeah. So, I would feel more comfortable if in this nice diving that you explain that you have maybe sentences about how credit card statements are Reconciled makes sense to me. Would that be a huge no problem? I think it's I think it's a great idea actually. And then uh we did discuss bringing the state. Do you want to bring statements to board monthly or just know that this is the procedure that I'm following? I think my wife sitting at dining table and said you're
025micromanaging that poor man. I so I think we have to that so the process is clear out. Okay. Okay. something. I don't know how to do that. in their own section. So that then the ones that are not stand out separately down by way that that's exactly how we have ours. So we have ongoing expenses, so like the, you know, water, internet type expenses. Um, and then we'll have the oneoffs that are so I usually just really focus in on those. Um, all right. And I think around the 10 because the $10,000 one because there's honestly a lot of transactions probably not on the credit card, but for different things that come up that more than $10,000 that are just part of the normal operations. Um, but we maybe should get clarity on how that
026should go. Do we always need to kind of that email between the two of us? Because I do understand like you're like, well, how do I say yes or no to this without greater context? You know, I felt like that was how our conversation went prior, well, it's our budget for it. Um, I will inquire what the best practice is for that and we can include maybe an updated language on that in our fiscal procedures manual that I'll bring to the board of um, okay, here we've got budgeting and class cash flow management. Um, so it starts off with monthly updates. We get that from Ken monthly, the Delta monthly update. He has the cash flow projections in there. We see that we always have liquidity for operational need some days where we're at right
027now. Uh we have interim budgets uh first interim, second interim that we approve uh throughout the fiscal year and then our annual budget um which we're working on right now which I'll bring to the board in June. Um and then this kind of all these budgets put together define how we want to utilize these resources to better our school. I think uh one thing that has came up when I'm looking at this chart here is um I have an eye for how we're doing yeartoear. We like this year we'll probably be within $30,000 of being in the red overall depending on how everything comes out. you, you know, you asked about, well, why why do we have $700 more paid for stipens? But the one area that I think we can improve as a school
028is mapping out for every revenue source, how are we utilizing that? Because I'm like, I know we have community schools grant money. Why can't we send more teachers to the summer training with AVID? Well, that's going to cost $10,000 now to the red. So then that means we over spent somewhere else and having more of that type of detailed conversation uh with the invest regularly. So that doesn't show up here, but that's something that I would like to have more clarity around. I mean the good thing is we've always been in a fairly strong financial position that came up where we have to really say no to a lot. Um but you know I think you can always improve then um so time travel and expense reimbursement uh so if you're going to travel you
029get the approval prior to the travel expenses spent uh submit the expense report within two weeks. We have had issues where uh staff went to say a professional development in June or July or August and then we get a random expense report in November December and that's an uncomfortable conversation because it's like no we can't reimburse for that. Um we always try to be have everything documented email about how this whole process goes. That happened more maybe two to three years ago. It has not happened at all in the last two years at least. Um uh we already talked about receipts requirements and then um and then prohibited expenses any lavish or personal expenses and we give a perm um along with the travel. So if there's not food provided by the conference then they
030have a dollar amount that's set by the IRS. All right. Um so here's that $10,000 inventory um practice fixed fixed assets physical inventory of all assets over uh conducted annually. I need to check in with Ken about what's included in that how we can do that. And then that is always a question is whether it can be counted as a fixed asset but then it goes to depreciation which can affect our bottom line. So, one thing that's come up is uh there was a question around whether the off-site intersection improvements can be considered fixed assets, but since they're not part of sus property, they cannot. So, they'll be just straight expense because if it says uh accounted for as a fixed asset, then we put that onto the books, but then over time there's an
031expense, a depreciation deprecation expense that's expensed over depending on what the asset is, the life of the asset, typically 10 years. And so that there was a while I don't know if you remember back to this where we'd be looking at our annual budget and there'd always be say4 to $600,000 depreciation expense which wasn't actually money exchanging hand but it was like well you have all these fixtures within the building those would be depreciating since 2014 and we just crossed that 10-year threshold. So we've now fully depreciated the assets we have in the building so that's not showing up on our balance sheet anymore. When that happens the asset is no longer an asset. Uh, it's been fully depreciated. So, it's still an asset, but it's zeroed out. Zeroed out. Yeah. So, it has to
032be listed, but value is zero. Correct. Okay. Um so banking and reconciliation procedures. Um currently I'm the only one who can sign uh checks for both the foundation and for the state of public schools. Um so we have our funds at West Coast Community Bank and then uh this year we have uh $2 million at the US Bank part of our charter cash management program. Um BMS monitors all this and then we review so stay on top of our legislation procedures um ASB roles uh we always want to make sure that our fundraisers align with um our established procedures. Um, this is something that we just discuss a lot is how to best do fundraising at SABA. Um, I think that in an ideal world, we could give a certain amount to each of the
033clubs that ASB ultimately oversees, but the logistics and the bureaucracy and that involved in that, sometimes we're not able to fully track that as well as we could. So, this is an area that I think we could always improve upon. One thing that I think everyone's always eager to do is fund raise, but um the effectiveness towards the goal can sometimes I kind of question that sometimes. Um and what I mean by that is uh like for example, we have a senior committee and everyone you know the Disney end of year Disney trip is $280. Um fairly expensive and we ran a couple fundraisers but they did not raise a lot of money and when you split that out between everybody that's stowing it's only maybe5 to$10 price discount. So, it's that's the question comes
034up. Is it worth it to put all this effort into this classwide fundraising effort if we're only going to get5 to$10 less than the per ticket expense. So, those are some of the questions that have came up regarding ASU fun. You ever use tools like Venmo or uh we have uh not square? We have a square where you can swipe a credit card when you're here. Yeah, but on your iPhone. Yeah, there's like but it's not not zel or specific, right? Put your card on it. Yeah, it's amazing. Um, so this is just to wrap up here. Uh, you know, I think we have strong internal controls to safeguard our funds and assets. Um, so we can remain compliant with that. You know, we've had audit many audits and they've never found anything unusual. uh
035weaknesses uh tracking our resource codes. Obviously, we had the LLP finding last year in terms of why was that why were those expenses not utilized and I said were we going to end up using the funds? So, that was still an audit finding. Um but that's something where we could do a better job of tracking the revenues to make sure that we're spending them appropriately. Um so, opportunities I put that we could improve our financial reporting by enhancing transparency and accuracy. I think your suggestion, Michael, about the credit card reconciliation process is a great idea. Um, and then I talked about this earlier, but better clarity around individual revenue source codes, improving clarity between specific uh revenue categories and the overall budget. Um, and then finally, the threats is always just non-compliance with fiscal management
036standard procedures. And also um you know if there's mishandled funds that's always something that we want to make sure that they're not doing it. So that concludes my presentation on this. Is there anything else you'd like to see if I bring a updated fiscal procedures manual to the board? I'll talk to legal too and auditor and see if Yeah, I have question. Yeah, I felt the same way honestly. So a 994. Okay. So um CLA is our auditor and uh they are also completing the tax filings for our foundation and so they specifically requested that the board approved uh this 990 um for our foundation. So they'll be filing the taxes associated uh the tax returns associated with our foundation. Um, and uh, this is for the end of the year June 30th, 2024. So,
037I'm asking the board to approve this. This is for the foundation. Correct. So, why is this numberion? Oh, wait. No, excuse me. I'm I misspoke. I'm sorry. This is for the state of public schools itself. Thank you. Yeah. public school. Have a motion and secondary vote. Hi. Okay. All right. So, this is one of those uh expenses that could potentially go over $10,000. I hope it doesn't. Um but we'll see. Uh so Marilyn Wesley is a consultant. She's worked with us for WAS and previous charter uh renewals. And so um I reached out to her and I'd like to begin working with her for our LCAP for this year and next year along with our charter renewal. Um and her rate is lower than the attorney. She's very knowledgeable and um I'm doing this because
038I the district looks at our last two years which is going to be this year and next year in terms of our LCAP and our overall results on the dashboard and so I want to make sure that our LCAP is following all the correct procedures for this year and next year so that when we submit our charter reauthorization and our two last two year LCAPS that they're meeting all the um requirements. So, uh, he'll be working on and off with me on completing these, uh, LC caps and the chart renewal. And I'm asking the board to approve this in the case that it does go over $10,000. Her rate is $150 per hour. I have a motion to approve the consultant. Roberto as well have your vote. I thank you pulling it through on 7.
039Okay. Um so this is earlier this year we uh approved the counselor um uh calendar and salary schedule and uh we would like to I'm I'm requesting that the board update this calendar and schedule with for a very specific purpose. Um we want our academic counselor to oversee credit recovery. And so we want them to be here for an additional two weeks. one week in the fall and one week for the spring to be tracking how students are progressing in their classes that they've failed and then oversee the enrollment of the students and their progress during the credit recovery weeks fall and spring. And so this uh academic calendar has those weeks included and um it uh has so an updated calendar along with an updated salary um that is higher and basically just gives
040compensation for those 10 additional calendar days. So they'll have a 268 calendar. Does that bring up any issues with Apparently not. No. All right. Any other questions from Yeah. Um, thank you. I've heard that frustration a few times and so, uh, we'll be looking at how we can better serve students. Um, we're to answer your question more directly, are we going to have more counselors? The budget doesn't allow for that, but I think we can take some kind of strategic actions to make sure that the counselor is more available and better served. So perhaps for board meeting agenda we have reporting. Um yes I think we can discuss that and discuss in general how where we're at and where we want to go with our academic. How many students have been concerned about not being
041able to get access? Um, just given that it's a staffing uh issue, I'd rather not talk about this during the board meeting. Thank you for bringing that up. So it calendar for the academic counselor and secondary you vote. Hi. Yep. Motion passes unanimously. On to sport. Okay. Um so this is uh another um update and it's got a it's has there's a few few things that I'm updating. So this is our our staff pay schedule. The highlighted yellow areas are what I'm asking the board to update. And I'll start off with our school crossing guard intern uh cafeteria staff and office assistant. And uh when we looked at we did a review of our stipens and who was receiving the stipens and we discovered that some people were receiving the bilingual stipen even though they
042speak only Spanish. So that wasn't right. Um, and so we said, well, you'll no longer have this bilingual stipent. Um, but in doing that, uh, we'd be reducing their pay that they've been accustomed to being paid for the last five years. And so that did not go over very well. Um, and so we've actually adjusted the pay to reflect an additional dollar from just their base pay, but not but they will not be receiving the bilal statement. So they Um they're still there's they're keeping the same pay as what they had previous year if you choose to approve it. And so that applies to the school crossing guard intern cafeteria staff and office assistant. Um and then finally uh the other um staff member support staff member is the technology coordinator. um we would like
043to move towards having him on salary and even though it's a hourly rate on here this is he'll be paid enough that he can be placed on his salary and what that would mean is that he doesn't have to have specific breaks or there's a lot of rules for hourly non-exempt employees and by having him available more um you can better support our school. uh we're going to be moving into uh moving away from schooly next year and having our learning management system through synergy and he'll play an important role in that. And so he is getting a slight pay increase. I think it's about $2,500 um to move into the salaries role um but he has improved over the year and I think it is appropriate given his the needs that we'll have with
044him next year. Yes. What was the previous Mike Richidge? So, he left. And who's the new one? This person.
