001Welcome to the special board meeting for the Newman Cresan Unified School District. Today is December 11th. Roll call. Mr. Walk here. >> Mrs. Gonzalez >> here. >> Miss Rivish >> here. >> Mrs. Ruby >> here. >> And Mr. Brawl is here. Uh item B, please stand for the flag salute. >> Ready? Again to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation under God indivisibley and justice for all. >> Item number C, approval of the agenda. Could I get a motion to approve the agenda as listed for tonight? >> I'll make a motion. >> Thank you, Mr. Rubis. >> I'll second. Seconded by Mrs. Thank you. >> Uh Mr. Walk. >> Hi. >> Miss Gonzalez. >> Hi. >> Mr. Ribish. >> I. >> Mr. Rudy. >> I.
002>> Mr. Ros says I. Item D. Public communication. Any person wishing to comment on agenda items may do so. Please step to the podium and state your name. It would be appreciated if you would limit your comments to 3 minutes. California law prohibits the school board from taking action on any matter which is not on the posted agenda unless it is determined to be an emergency by the board. Per board policy BB9323, individual speakers may be allowed three minutes to address the board on each agenda or non-aggenda item. The board may limit the total time for public input on each item to 20 minutes. With board consent, the president may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation depending on the topic and the number of persons wishing to be heard. The president may
003take a poll of speakers for or against a particular issue and may ask that additional persons speak only if they have something new to add. At at this time, does any members of the public have uh any items to on the agenda items to address the board? All right, seeing none, uh item E, action items, uh review and approve the first interim budget report for the fiscal year 2025 2026 year. And that's going to be presented by Miss Tapia. Hopefully it doesn't create an echo and sorry if I get a cough. Hanging in there, guys. [laughter] Good evening, Superintendent Puit, Board President Cabell, and esteemed board members. I have one item to present tonight, and that is the 2526 first interim report. I just remember I have to click. ah upward. So we before we
004move into a high level summary of the first interim, I want to center us around what exactly is the first interim. Um ultimately it's the first opportunity that we have to bring back the adopted budget that we presented to you all for approval in the June meeting. Um it normally is done with the lens of viewing any form of um current trends that we've noticed in the first couple of months of the fiscal year. um specifically specifically through October 31st. Um it is also an opportunity for us to make adjustments accordingly and also look at the multi-year projection. Now I do want to um ensure that we center ourselves around the fact that it is a projection. It is only as good as this very moment and what we know currently. Um and projections change
005all the time. Um in the business world we talk about projections are only as good as for a minute and then something comes across your desk and your projections need to be adopted and changed and drastically changed in a different direction. So do take it with that in mind and knowing that it is a first iteration especially when we get to the multi-year projection piece of the presentation. Oh yes, good. Um and like any other budget um for a school district, our starting point is always going to be enrollment. Um as you know, we are funded in average daily attendance and that is based on the students that are enrolled in our district. So our starting point is to provide an analysis of what enrollment trend has been in the last couple of years. Um
006specifically Pitt and I looked at what the current trends for the first three months of uh attendance was looking like um as of October 31st. actually was the end of our believe our third month of attendance reporting. So, we had a really good snapshot and opportunity for us to assess some of that enrollment that we originally used to build our adopted budget during the June um adoption. So, we did feel it was a good opportunity for us to adjust the course of the projections for enrollment. We did bring forward 3,30 during adopted budget. Um given the trend that we were currently looking at, we decided that it was a good opportunity for us to adjust it to alienate a little bit more to what we were noticing and that is downward to 2,981. We also
007took the opportunity to address the two following years 2627 and 2728. Okay, good. Hopefully I didn't break it. [laughter] Um in addition to that so the other half of this equation of enrollment is average daily attendance. Um as you know we are funded by ADA that is calculated based on a percentage. When we brought forward your adopted budget we also did it at a 94% almost 95 um but I don't know if you know our school sites are actually doing a phenomenal job of getting students to show up on a daily basis and we've been doing a little bit of recovery of attendance. So we felt it was adequate for us to adjust that percentage slightly upward to 95.03. I will say that for 26 27 2728 the multi-year projection that was adopted in June
008did include a little bit of a higher percentage um in the 97 to 98% range. Um we felt we probably should take a conservative approach at this time. So we did um downward adjust the outy years to pretty much reflect what we're noticing in the current year. So please keep that in mind. The other part of this equation is also understanding how our LCFF funded formula really works. Um, we have the opportunity to get funded in three possibilities. The current year ADA, the prior year ADA, or an average of the three. In the last couple of years, we've actually and it would always be the highest of those three calculations. In the last couple of years, we've been funded in the average of the three years. The reason I want to mention that is even
009though our enrollment is shifting downward and our ADA is shifting upward, we don't get to feel that right away as far as funding goes because we will be funded in the higher of those three options. However, I do think we have to keep in mind that if it continues in a trajectory of downward, eventually we're not going to have the higher years to kind of balance out the lower years. So, we do need to keep that in mind as we move forward and start thinking about the bigger picture in the out years beyond the current year. So I just wanted to highlight that other assumptions um stirs and purs.10 is kept the same across the three years. I will say with PERS one thing to keep in mind they actually don't have a cap in
010what percentage of employer rate it can reach which is quite frankly scary but we are using school services um data board as of this moment um during an active budget. Those are what the data points that we use to update our projections and that includes COLA and CPI. For COLA, I do want to highlight the fact that even though we are currently projecting that we're going to receive a cost of living adjustment, that usually translates to LCFF funding receiving that percentage. The flip side of that equation is consumer price index, meaning accounting for how much more it's going to cost us to operate normally in the non- neighbor side of things. So even though we are getting a COLA, it kind of cancels out a little bit with the CPI increase that we're projecting. So
011we do have to keep in mind that COLA is not an automatic increase in percentage to our revenue. And just now to move into some of the areas that we did adjust between adopted budget and first interrum beginning with LCFF. Um given that I what I just mentioned about funded ADA, this adjustment of 458 is really driven by our duplicated pupil count. Unfortunately, we did adjust that downward due to our most recent um CalPET certification. Um I think originally we had it at 71% and we adjusted that to like 66%. And that's just based on the collection of um not free and reduced lunch applications anymore, but alternative income um applications as well those who are directly certified if they're foster youth all those categories that count once for each of those students. So we
012did have to do a downward adjustment and that does impact what we get in supplemental concentration. So we wanted to ensure that we're capturing that. federal revenues. We had a slight um increase in that area and that is sort of related to an audited actuals. I believe I mentioned that we were carrying over funds that we originally intended to spend in a specific manner but didn't materialize. So those carried over funds are now being represented in this budget and that's 24917 mostly for title funding. I will say the biggest area of adjustment is in our state revenue and that is for a new discretionary block grant that is related to um PD and student support. Um when I say it's discretionary, it is very much discretionary. It's about 890,000 for Newman and that is assumed
013as revenue in this given year. Um we have received a portion of that and it's already flowing through our actual um books at this as of this moment and cash. We actually have received the cash for that partially. Um, in addition to that, we did have some additional state revenue grants that we are in partnership with Santa Santa Santa Clara. Wow. Sus County as far as um behavioral health initiative grants that we're working with them. Um, that's a continuation of a various other onetime grants that are sunsetting. Um, that is also assumed in this in this adjustment and some additional a little bit of Prop 28. uh that's what drove that increase in state revenue in the local revenue. Um one area that you may recognize is a tokale grant. We just needed to reflect
014that accordingly. Our teachers work very hard to write out those grants and some of them landed some really good portions and they've been working and carrying out their proposals. I believe they just recently did a field trip um based on that grant. So all in all we added about 1.5 to our revenue site between adopted budget and first syndrome. And I just wanted to show you an image as far as a reflection of what really makes up our general fund. Um the breakdown being evidently uh 75% coming predominantly from that LCF formula that we were talking about earlier. Um the other ones really um can they're going to continue to shrink, right? Let's be realistic. With the sunsetting of a lot of the onetime funds, you'll probably see the state revenue um kind of level
015out. Um I won't say it will equate to your federal but um it won't be as big of a bucket um or in this case it's a pie for general fund expenditures just to highlight some of the areas that created adjustments and certificated salaries. This is just a natural placing of our certificated um employees just adjusting them to where they landed in the salary schedule. um as well a few FTEEs that were not originally budgeted for when the adopted budget as well as any labor costs that were not originally budgeted for. Um, I just want to remind you all that the adopted budget did include the 1% increase that we negotiated after 2425 ended, but it didn't include the other items such as like the longevity stipen um the extended teacher pay uh increase. So
016those things just needed to be accounted for in this year and we are ensuring that we're capturing that here. um sorry and the classified salaries um very similarly step and column adjustments to ensure that those projections are reflecting where people are truly placed in our salary schedules as well a few um FD in increases that are related to our restricted funding sources and naturally if you increase certificated and classified you're increasing your employee benefits so that increase is kind of going along with the top two and books and supplies actually I would say the three other categories, they are all related to additional expenses to our onetime funds. Some of these onetime funds are suns setting. We have to ensure we're spending them down to uh the best of our abilities and just zero them
017out. And that is exactly what we're doing here. And that included some of the UPK implementation grant, some of the TOSKA as I mentioned um as well as some A3G, these are lingering COVID funds. So A3G um learning loss mitigation and access and success grant. So we are ensuring that we are embedding those expenses and sering out those funds. Lastly, in capital outlay, we are simply recognizing the fact that we did have some onetime unused funds from last year that we can actually now use for uh the cost of uh food service equipment that we that we did account for at that perfect turning point of June to July. So this is actually good news because otherwise this would have been funded through our fund 13. So this was exciting news when they extended the
018deadline on that one. So all in all, we added about 2.1 as far as expenses go in comparison to our adopted budget. And just to give you that breakdown again as what our uh general fund expense breakdown looks like, the majority of close to 75% is also spent on labor costs. um other categories um will be shrinking a bit more um especially in the services and other operating expenses because a lot of that goes into the onetime funds that we were talking about. So just keep this in mind that the biggest piece of this pie is is those labor costs. And lastly, but certainly not least, I do want to spend a bit of time here. As I mentioned, we did adjust some of those out years assumptions, which naturally means that we have to
019adjust our revenues and our expenses. Um, I do want to mention some of the decisions that we did make in making these adjustments. Um, what those are, and that is anything one-time related that was non- labor um is completely omitted from our assumptions. So, those were backed out. Um, we're assuming that if they were paid for onetime funds, we're not going to be able to pay for them from general funds. Anything that was labor related is actually placed back and aren't restricted. And that is mostly in the nature of trying to present to you a true picture of what it will look like to continue some of those onetime fund needs that we filled the gap um that we needed during these past couple of years. So the labor costs that were paid um from
020UP UPK educator effectiveness those are now assumed back into our general funds. So I do want to ensure that that we all are aware of some of the creative [laughter] multi-year projection assumptions that we took at this very point. Um the other thing that I would mention that one-time discretionary block grant that I mentioned that is assume in 2728. It is very discretionary in nature. It means that we can actually use it to alleviate some of the deficit spending that we're now projecting. So that is assumed there. Um, I will say the biggest adjustments and expenses are in your 2728. Um, and this is really the basis of our starting point of conversation. Like I said, it's version one of a multi-year projection. Um, it peels back some of the more higher assumptions that we've
021been using. It takes it back to the current trend to see it from that lens to really truly see what it will look like to truly operate within general funds. um which is funded by LCFF 75% of it right um this is where it has landed us we are as of this very moment which is you know what I'm asking of tonight um we are meeting our obligations for the current and the two following years and that is how we arrived to it and pretty much education code determines how we can certify and our positive certification is pretty much defined by the fact that we are meeting our obligation in this year and in the following year and the year after that. Uh and that is what I'm asking of you all tonight as a
022motion. Uh what is next for us is the January governor's budget for 2627. The budget cycle continues as you all noticed from the first um infographic. So we are already looking at ahead. We're looking at next year to be to be honest. Um in January we'll be attending uh school services governor's workshop to kind of get some of the beginning stages of the assumptions that we'll be using to start building out that budget and we'll be bringing that back and and trying to incorporate as much as possible already in the multi-year that we present at second interrum. The second interim is brought to you once again looking at the progression of now as the first interim in comparison to second interim in the March 15 deadline. I think a little bit earlier than March 15
023if I'm not mistaken. I think the first week of March. Um, and we can start working in some of those assumptions to ensure that we have a more reflective picture of what we're thinking our budget is going to look like next year before we even get to the June meeting, which is the ideal um the ideal progression of how we should be doing budget development. And I will say the last point is is a big one is that commitment overall of addressing the deficit spending. It is a conversation that I will say has started from day one at least for me since I joined July 1st. Um it's a conversation that involves [clears throat] a lot of people. It's not a single point of decision of any single individual and it requires a lot of
024brains. Um I certainly cannot speak to what's needed in the classroom. I need to heavily rely on colleagues that absolutely understand them much better than I do. So that conversation truly is involving everyone and then something you can think of. Everyone's coming on for the ride. Um, and it's already started and it started at a cabinet level, sorry, cabinet level and it's moving past that. And I think this this is a really good opportunity for us to truly start thinking about um how to make ourselves whole. Um, especially when it comes to the 8% reserve that we currently have in our policy for us to maintain this reserves and that's what we are. Um, I will add in one last update. We do have our 2425 financial audit and we did ask for an extension.
025Federal guidelines was a little bit delayed this year due to government shutdown. So our auditors did ask us to request an extension. So you'll be seeing that probably in the February meeting. You would typically would have been seeing that in January. Um the deadline would have been um December 15th and now the new deadline for Newman is January 29th. So I just wanted to mention that. Sorry, it's not in the bullet points, but that literally just got approved today. But I didn't want to miss opportunity to let you know about that. And of course, questions, discussions, >> as you get into your questions and discussions, um, as you saw the multi-year projection, um, I believe the following the following year we are in the next year we are at, um, 3.29% 29%. >> That's correct.
026>> So, um, with a difference of deficit spending of 2.6. So, really, if we were able to cut around 2.6, we would no longer be deficit spending. So, if we can cut more than that, then we would start rebuilding our uh our uh reserves. So, I need to know, I guess, direction from you. Are you comfortable with cutting 2 million from the budget? Are we talking 2.5? Or are you say do you know uh try to try to get to three? So, I kind of need feedback from the board and as direction on what what you want to see presented to you in January. >> And I will just add in that when you make cuts in the upcoming year, it actually creates less of a cut for the following year. A lot of people
027don't quite understand that, but if we were to back out expenses um from 26 27, then those expenses wouldn't be assumed in 2728. So, not only are you building a reserve down at the bottom of that calculation because you're starting with more money um and your reserve, but you're also not assuming the same level of expenses, especially those that carry through year-over-year. Um so, that's where the decision lies, right? How do we how do we split that? Um do we take the impact um in one given year which will support us in 27,28 and out years if we were to carry this through? um or do we want to split it? In which case we have to think about how much more of deficit funding spending can we afford and what percentage of decrease do
028we really want to look at um as far as 26 27 and then 2728 >> and and my recommendation on that um I I ran some numbers and if we could cut about 2.5 million going into next year's budget we would be at 7 12% reserve and then the following year in 2728 we'd be over 8% reserve is what it would do into the multi-year projection. >> Any questions from the board to Miss Tapia? >> Yeah, >> I have a few, but I'll wait till you guys are done. >> For the unduplicated threshold like um you said it was 71 and then it went down to what? >> Um yeah, let me actually I do have >> 66. What's like the threshold number again? Like the number the the one you want to hit? Is
029it 8075? It's somewhere >> to get the to get the the ultimate one. It's in the I think it's 83 if I I don't but that's >> So do we know why that went down >> 5%. >> So I just clarify that >> from my experience from that duplicated like that's like the key like we want to try and get up to that 83%. That is correct because we will get more of that supplemental concentration and the way supplemental concentration works obviously is very directed and based on that small group of students. So it's it can be directed much more easily than the base grant funding can which is you know ultimately our goal is to serve those students of higher needs. Um I will say the other thing to keep in mind with the
030duplicated pupil counts it is also a rolling average. So if we had a low percentage and just to clarify what those percentage are it's it was 74.25 25 assumed in the adopted budget. Um our related certification was 66.99. So we did miss that mark of 70% as well. Um and the way that works is that if we do have a lower percentage, if we were to work to improve that the following year, then we can average that out because it is ongoing and it is scrolling. Um and we can hopefully reverse some of that impact of of 400k adjustment. So that's in essence the intention of of or the goal of us um looking at collecting information in a timely manner and I would say advocating for our families. It's not surprising. >> A lot
031of districts are struggling to collect information for many reasons that um I won't get into the details of that, but I think we all very well aware of um the families we serve and how willing they are to provide information. And this was known very early on and and everyone who's involved in this process tried their best to ensure that we were still collecting them because we still need them. And a lot of families think, well, I don't need a lunch application cuz my students are getting free lunch. Everybody's getting free lunch. but they don't always understand the other implications of not being able to collect alternative income forms. So that messaging needs to start um very early on as it comes to next year. And I think if we do that early on, we
032can probably improve that percentage. >> Okay. And then uh I'm a little skeptical about the federal revenue um because of like from what I've heard title one might pretty much be guaranteed but two through nine there. Those are the ones that are up in the air. I assume most of our funding though is title one. >> Yes, a good portion of our title funding is title 1A. Um I would say the majority of it is and I can definitely hand you over percentages by the way. Sorry, I didn't have that breakdown. Um, so on the line has always been those that are not title one. Uh, at least that's my understanding. Um, when we started the year, there was guidance from CDE as far as what you should be doing. Um, I think pretty much
033every CBO was wondering the same. Should we should we not rely on title one funds because we still need to provide those services whether we get the grant funding or not or federal funding or not. Um and it was pretty much decided that once federal um once the feds basically created some sort of commitment, it did not include um a reverse on the commitment to title one funds which is the largest bucket. So we kept it um we also kept it at the same rate. Um I suspect January is going to bring far more information about federal revenue than what we know at this very moment. Um so really that adjustment that you see there between adopted budget and first entrum it truly is only the carryover that we did in spend last year. Um
034not much more adjustment was made in that in that moment and that's just pure decision of talking to others as far as like what what it is that they're embedding into their assumptions at this very moment. Um if something changes in the January um proposal, we may have to look at um ensuring that we have a plan of continuing to provide the support for those students. But I'll certainly bring that forward and let you all know as soon as we get that more information because that will be another deciding factor um of what sort of adjustments we need to do to our to our expenditures. >> And then we only had the two block grants. Is that correct? Uh I don't know if you can show >> Yeah. Let me go to revenues. >> Was
035this it? Oh, sorry. No, one more. >> One more. Yeah. So >> the SSPD >> SSP >> Yes. >> Are those Prop 28 is one? >> Prop 28 is one. Um youth behavioral health initiative grant is another one that that's the one that we're doing the partnership with um Stanzels [clears throat] County. Um that one is really is a continuation of um for instance we have SV HIPP that was very very similar and that's to provide mental health um services for students and um pay pay for mental health clinicians at some point. So, it's just basically a continuation of that when we and and a little bit of a background on the youth behavioral health initiative grant that also happened at the cusp of transition. Um, that was actually something we probably could have easily
036recognized last year and carried over, but we didn't. Um, it actually our own auditors have advised us as far as when to recognize it because that was one of my first questions. Do you need me to adjust somewhere in the audit or how do you want me to handle that? and the county did get anou from us um right at the beginning of July even though the grant period technically started last year. So it's just an adjustment to ensure that we are recognizing the revenue that we are in fact receiving for that grant. Um Prop 28 was an adjustment based on P2 of last year. >> Anyone else? for ADA because one of my big things is like the independent study. So they the kids have 15 days and you've kind of made it so
037that uh parents and students are aware that they have these days and my fear is that you know kind of telling them like you have 15 days when I think we should be telling them you have none because we want kids in the class and those days should really only be set aside for like absolute necessities. Um, and I get the whole thing is about, you know, we want to retain the money and we want kids to be doing work, but I think unintentionally it kind of said to parents like, hey, you have these 15 days, but then those 15 days and we've kind of heard some kids have already reached those 15 days. So then like if they miss more, we're not getting any of that. And um I would say in my experience
038in my class like I've never necessarily seen a student go those 15 days. Like I've seen five, I've seen eight, maybe 10. Uh but the 15 is like super super rare unless it's like I mean eventually it just gets to home and hospital. That's the only one that I've seen that like really jumps over the 15 days. [clears throat] talking with the sites and the and the students that are reaching the 15 days, there typically are same families that would have already um been assigned to DART or SARB or those kind of things that they that's there's a family history or a history of that student consistently missing those many days. It's just now they're getting to that point where now we have to do the interventions. It's just a little later in the year
039before we do the interventions to uh to try to meet meet their needs. >> So, we don't think that will lower our average. I have the numbers. I'm I'm trying to I'm trying to look at what our attendance was last year and then write in how much uh our independ short-term independent study has increased our attendance. Like how much does that account for the increase attendance? Did we actually increase the in the seat attendance this year or is it really truly coming from the independent study? I I didn't not have the final calculations on those today. And I will say part of the reason and just to ensure we also understand and we're on the same page of that even though independent study um is part of the reason why we're generating um good ADA
040that is not necessarily taken into account in our ADA assumption because I know for a fact that a lot of students are going to reach 15 days probably in the first half of the year um given that the holidays are coming up. So we didn't want to really um rely on that so heavily. Um so it really wasn't accounted for in the manner that you um you would want to account for it. So I really did just look at that trend of students who were showing up to the classroom every day. And and I I'm a of course I'm in the CVO world, but I'm a big believer that yes, there's the money side, but there's like the learning loss as well. And just from personal experience, it's very difficult to um bring back some
041of that instructional time even with independent study. So I I I hear where you're coming from as far as independent study being used um in that perspective, but from an assumptions perspective, we didn't necessarily heavily rely on the fact that we were going to have that as our only way to continue in the ADA trajectory that we're in. >> Okay. Anyone else have any questions for Miss Tapia? Um, I actually have a couple. Um, but first off, I I I would just like to thank the previous board members before us because they set out years ago and I don't know the exact timeline. Uh, but it's well well before our time on the board of having that reserve of 8%. Right? Because you know if you look at the numbers now and if if we
042didn't have that 8% we would be in a lot worse trouble than what we're in now right so yeah we are deficit spending you know almost $5 million this year alone but that that is that is the priority to stop the bleeding right so we have to get that under control over the this year starting this year um to move forward to the future years to make sure that we can get that reserve fund back up because if our ADA and all of our uh enrollment and our attendance continues to go down right those are monies that we just can't count on right. Um so that is that is a huge priority and um they're already starting to working at that the district level leadership and all of us here. Thank you for that to
043come up with a plan to get those numbers under control. Um can you go back to a couple slides to the uh step and column real quick. >> Uh there you go. So at at if my math's right that's roughly around just step and column increase is around a million dollar plus or minus a little bit, right? It's about a million dollars total. probably a little bit more. >> Yep. >> One point 1.2. I I don't I don't maybe the other numbers on [laughter] I don't have the set number but yes if you're taking the the three c the three top categories of the table in itself. Um yes it's adjustment of the step and column >> that that's almost probably around 1.2 million >> just by going over for year step and column. So
044keep that in mind. Right. And then if you go uh a couple slides ahead to the the amount of deficit spending for this year, >> right? >> So it's 4.9 million, which is almost $5 million, right? >> So what I'm recommending >> um to uh our district leadership and to Mr. Puit is is plan for 2 and 1 half to $3 million cuts this year and then come up with a plan over the next couple months to where we if needed, we could scale that back a little bit. But um unfortunately those th those cuts have to be made. um we we can't end up in 27 with only 1.8 million at 3% reserve. We just can't do that, right? So, um that's that's my opinion. That's the only questions that I had for you
045tonight. I reviewed all the slides in the backup, you know, for a long time, but those are the couple things that I saw that popped out. Um because those are the things we can control. Yes. Right. >> That is that is we're in the people business, so 75% of our budget is >> correct. Correct. Correct. Um, any other questions for Miss Tapia? >> No, thank you. You answered my question. I um I had asked Mr. Puit a few questions beforehand which he answered, but I was concerned whether or not we were being conservative enough with the ADA, but it sounds like you have accounted for all the different variables that go into that um just to make sure that we are not over projecting anything. But >> yes, thank you. Yeah, >> I thought that

I 50. >> And that will conclude the special meeting on December 11th by the Newman Crosan Unified School District.
