009I want to report that we have met our lcap goal number three and we've reduced our suspension rate at alternative education by a 9.5% in the last school year that's a big accomplishment we went from the red to the green and green on the dashboard is always good this year we also received the Fate award for being the site with the most improved facilities I want to give a special thanks to Mr Matt Vargas he made sure that our facilities were ready the first day of school for our students our student students have really enjoyed the our new basketball court and our mini golf course believe it or not we have that at all t I also want to celebrate um our early graduates we have 11 students who graduated uh Westside this year um
010five students graduated from independent study already this year and nine returned back to Orba and more to come come on get this is really good um we this year we were fortunate to have a learning director on campus we used to share our learning director with or Timba and it's made a great great difference and very positive impact at our school uh Miss Rosario Vargas couldn't be here today to talk about the work amazing work that she is doing but as you can see she is in charge of planning all of our uh presentations she's brought guest speakers to our campus she's um scheduled U fasta workshops for parents and students and has really supported our site some pictures of the events that our students have participated and now I want to introduce Mr Everett
011Mah who is going to share the work that he is doing at our site oh thank you U my name is Everett Mah um I go by Birdie on campus that's what the kids call me that's my nickname um I'm the campus supervisor there W side in Foothill um my background is I'm 25 years retired um from juvenile probation in Santa clar County so coming to a facility where sometimes a perception can be that it's you know H these kids you know they don't they're not on par however sometimes they're seeing what I was viewing and what I was seeing was that there was a lack of confidence um some of the kids didn't have Focus so I'm sitting there on the bench is I'm trying to think of ways that we can engage the
012kids where we get them to start to see themselves different so first thing that hits my head is we got to change the culture we we got to get into something where the we could engage the kids and have dialogue so the teachers and I we got together with the permission of Mrs esz to bring both classes together and let's start to work on your tomorrow that and that's the name of the project what is what is your tomorrow so the question was asked tomorrow is coming are you ready so are you ready to go get that job are you ready to walk into an employer and have confidence look at them sit in front of a panel of four or five people and answer questions and get the job and win and over whoever
013was there so as soon as you realize how important each tomorrow is the gravity of today becomes that much more important so now we have to build and how are we going to build first we have to build a foundation that these kids are going to stand on and then the four pillars you see there um identity purpose character and Aura are what's going to be built on this foundation so the foundation is built on accountability it's ownership versus minimization um we got to understand that you guys have to own every decision you make in life and this is what's communicated with the kids then we get to the pillars I'll just go through them briefly identity who were you before you came to West Side who are you now and who are you going
014to be tomorrow um so this is really when we get them to understand that tomorrow is not just Tuesday or Wednesday it's next week it's five years from now we got to start focusing on your future um excuse me then we get to purpose what is your destination your goals what is the direction that we're going to be moving into and then let's move let's have action you will not be pushed into your purpose you will be pulled from within I can't tell you what you want to be you have to start to dig deep in yourself and really understand you know these are the things I like to do and sometimes these kids you know they really don't see themselves any other than behind a laptop and trying to recover from I'm down 15
015classes so then we get into the next pillar character who you are matters humility Integrity responsibility and honesty and then the last pillar is Aura this is a a word that the kids use right you know your aura right you're what do you bring into the room when you walk into the room so realize that when you walk into a room I'm going to change the temperature in here if there's a lack of something I'm gonna create that lack I'm GNA fill in that Gap so Westside is striving to become a vision campus and what is that your eyes show you what is Vision shows you what can be so we're trying to really get kids to be put them in an uncomfortable position really right fight those things their anxiety their depression and have
016a dialogue and and it's awesome we've had four classes they're 30 minutes each um I got two more to go and it's literally me sitting out on the bench and writing up the class on Tuesday and we go in there talk about it on on Wednesday um and shoot I didn't think it was be the hard talking on the mic but um that's pretty much it so that's what I'm just thankful that uh Miss es esz allowed me to kind of jump into this I I love love working with kids I love seeing them move from a place of isolation to a place of boldness but with humility right we like to see kids move and that's what we got to do and the one last thing I will say is that everything that we're
017that's up there the staff has to model it we're here to model everything so if we're not modeling it I can't teach accountability if I'm not accountable so hopefully everybody I'm talking from the secretary to the kitchen sta to the campus supervisor teachers and principal when they come in contact with the student we're giving them the same thing they don't there's never any that's different so they're always being surrounded by somebody that's kind of pushing this agenda and real quick I just want to say congratulations on your son eth place in state um so and now Mr hopefully that wasn't too long uh good evening distinguished board um superintendent puit Mr sea Miss Fox my name is Sergio L I'm actually here with La Familia Central Valley uh a uh nonprofit organization in Turlock providing
018menahal Services um and they're also representing alternative education so um want to thank um Mrs skas also for giving me the time I just have four points to share and then I I'll I'll hand out a few Flyers afterwards um I was responsible for holding or hosting a 12 uh week um program called Hoven no Noble youth uh through the national comps Network and I'll that's a FL I'll pass out in a moment but some of the things that we did with HOV no was help the Y young people uh focus on a right of passage so what we call crossing of the bridge and helping them become an honorable young man or women not that they weren't before but examining or learning a value system a belief system that will help them later on
019in life with with positive um positive values uh we help the young people identify and develop a healthy value system like I mentioned which entailed breaking negative norms and stereotypes um not only that they have about people but sometimes that they have about themselves um doubting themselves not feeling good enough not feeling smart enough um so kind of changing that narrative um some of the things that we redefined was um what it means to be a macho and kind of took away the the negative connotation and replaced it with positive um someone who's responsible someone who's a friend someone who's sensitive um they acquired knowledge and and uh and practice the concept of what we call palabra which is uh having a credible word um they learned a little bit about uh what happens when
020I break my palabra or my word with my family or those in my circle um what happens when I keep it um they were able to kind of look a little bit more in depth in into who is in my circle in my Circulo um who are the people that I can go to that I can trust and what does my palab or my credible look like um credible word look like with them and lastly uh they learned about the four pillars all throughout the 12 sessions which is the importance of acknowledgement understanding integration and taking action thank you all right thank you sir my name is Gabriel and I come from West Side High School and my experience there was honestly amazing like I couldn't ask for a better school for real and the
021staff there were very they were very caring they were nice they always checked up on me when I walked in in the morning and yeah they were just there for me a lot and um um my first thoughts when I first came in I was I was like man I'm not going to make any friends here it's it's a small school and I don't know what I'm going to do and but when I first walked in and Doza really uh introduced himself and he really like you know started a bond right there and um you know went over my uh transcript and what I had to do and I first started off for 40 classes maybe even more and now I'm at one and more at one one class left and they really pushed me
022to do that because um you know they they checked up on me see if I was doing work and um I want to give a special shout out to BR for the presentations that he does like it really touches me uh tells me about my tomorrow you know to be ready for tomorrow to be prepared for tomorrow and um yeah my overall experience there was honestly amazing shout out to the staff I really love the staff they're very nice and uh they're really there for me and yeah that's about it thank you for having me today thank you very much any questions it's a beautiful presentation thank you thank you thank you item D our debt management presentation by Mr Dale Scott good evening usually when I'm introduced with the um title debt management presentation
023I paused to let everybody leave the room so I can't tell you this is going to be as inspirational as the last two presentation but we'll try to get through it here um for those of you don't know we serve as financial advisor to the district I'm going to give you uh there's no action tonight obviously this all just sort of background there are two issues that the district uh is going to need to take action on in the next um couple of months which will cover uh as well but I want to give you the background so if we can go in this presentation to uh slide three uh which starts with the district's underlying assess valuation this is the value of all the private property in the district commercial residential industrial agricultural etc
024etc and this is what the tax levy that supports all these bonds is is placed on so you can see over the last really 20 years or so there's been good solid growth in this community average for the last 10 years has been over 6% per year this is not the market value this is the taxable value the the assessed valuation that if you're a homeowner you would pay against on on a tax rate on the next page on slide four just as background this is the voter turnout in Stannis County and then a a description of your voters as you can see the the light blue the last election in November 24 very strong turnout in the county 70% of the registered voters voted interestingly your breakdown of party affiliation is almost identical to
025the state of California I thought was very very striking in terms of the um other the declined to state is exactly the same as the state a few a little bit larger Republican a little less uh Democrats but it's almost exactly the same as the state at large okay let's get into what has happened on page five you can see that you have had actually excellent success with only one particular failure which happened in March of 2020 does anybody remember what happened in March of 2020 so good reason why it didn't fail everybody was staying home and worried etc etc you came back a few months later in November of 2020 and passed the measure um overwhelming support by the voters for this District the yellow at the bottom you go all the way over
026to the right hand side you can see that is the amount of bonds that have been unissued what I mean by that is the voters have approved those those bonds but you haven't as a board taken the action to actually sell the bonds so until you do that there's no tax involved what is happening to put it in a different way the voters have given you the authority to issue these Bonds on behalf of the district um but and you have over 50 million $60 million of authority of unissued bonds we'll talk about how that works in just a second turning to the next slide those bonds I won't go over in much detail here those bonds get sold they get passed by the voters then you sell them in increments you still have a
027number of these bonds outstanding some of them can be refinanced some of them can't be refinanced but this is just for background information as you're wondering what you're paying their taxes for okay if we take all of that information the bonds that have been sold the assess valuation the growth rate of the assess valuation and we start projecting well what is going to be the tax rate in the future for all of this that the taxpayers are going to have to pay on and when I say tax rate that's the cost per $100,000 of assess valuation and we can model that and these are estimates but this is not the bonds that you haven't sold these are the bonds that have already been sold by you and past administrations and you can see it's roughly
028at $12 $110 per $100,000 assess valuation and it begins to step down and this is paid for the next 20 or 30 years these are the funds that go to uh produce improvements and new facilities in your community okay let's go through the few bonds that that you now have to issue and I'm going to throw a little bit of a Twist in here because I want you to be aware of something that's coming uh for your decision soon measure acts was passed in 2020 you have actually issued what is called a bond anticipation note that's like a like forward funding it's like Bridge funding is coming due uh actually this year and so we have to raise additional funds from the bonds to pay that off and then it'll be a long term this
029is because we were trying to stabilize the tax rate and not raise the tax rate on people so we sort of jumped over a few years in addition the district issued about $5 million of this last year um to make certain improvements you have 20.8 million remaining and this is what the tax additional tax rate would look like from those bonds that's the blue and the Gold Series a and series B now here's the curve okay this is called this is a little esoteric but I have to go into it and I apologize if it gets just a little wonky in addition to having to have the voters pass this they have what is called a tax rate limit which I think you've all probably heard of this is the limit when you go to
030the voters you say the tax rate is not going to be more than $50 or the tax rate is not going to be more than $60 in addition there is a part of the Education Code that limits the amount of debt that a district can have outstanding to two and a half% of its assessed valuation it's it's very esoteric it's in the Education Code it's only it's not ongoing it's a one-time measure so whenever you go to issue new bonds we have to calculate okay how many bonds are currently outstanding and are you below the debt limit or are you above the debt limit I know it's kind of esoteric but let's look at it so this is the current the blue is the current amount of outstanding bonds outstanding principle that you have outstanding
031and you're paying it off so every year it's going down right the red line is the debt limit the 2 and a half% and we are projecting that assess valuation is going to increase so every year it's going up so right now you have a available capacity that's enough to to issue the 2020 bonds you'll see how that works on the next slide we can issue the remainder of that 2020 Bond and you're below the debt limit so you don't need to do anything however when we go to issue the bonds that were passed in 2024 you would be above the debt limit so the state provides the ability for you to seek a waiver from that it's not hard to get I don't know of any that have ever been denied it's just more
032procedure more paper that has to be filed with the state and it takes a little bit of time I'm going to go through that in a minute so we would ask the state Bor a waiver I'm on slide 13 now and you can see what where we be questing the red line is the current debt limit we'd ask the state to raise that limit up to the black line for example and if you do that and if they grant that which I'm certain they will then you will be under the new waiver I know this is very esoteric but you have to go through this process to get these funds so is everybody with me so far okay good so what we have to do is we have the ability to issue the 2020 bonds
033now and we have to do that now when I say now in the next couple of months because we have this shortterm Bond anticipation note that we have to pay off plus you need other funds to continue the the uh improvements to the district and at the same time we have to apply to the state for a waiver so you can issue the remainder of the bonds that were passed in 2024 and I'll show you how that works in just a second measure S&T which were passed in 2024 this is a example of how these bonds might be sold it's going to be up to you in the um in the future but we're projecting you're going to sell sell roughly $10 million every couple of years for measure s and 9 10 million every
034year for measure T again those can't be sold until we get the waiver B which we're projecting will happen this year okay so now I'm going to show you how this all fits together so on the bottom of the page over the next couple of months we have um what is actually going to happen for the financing of the 2020 Bonds in April will bring a resolution to the board approving the issuance of that second series of bonds the series b um once we receive the rating we will then take that out into the market on your behalf get bids from the underwriter price it and then in roughly the middle of May you'll have enough money to pay off that ban and begin the improvements that you need to fund now simultaneously looking up
035at the top you'll need we'll have to work with your Administration there's some some uh meetings that have to happen with the bargaining units they don't have to approve it they just have to be made aware of what you're asking for uh we'll put the resolution in front of you to approve the um request for a waiver submit it to the state and then in roughly September the state will give us the waiver that's how the the meetings and then you will be able at the by the end of September to issue the remainder or not the remainder the beginning of the 2024 bonds the S and the t's so it's a bit of a jigsaw puzzle but the two big pieces that are coming at you are a resolution to pass the remainder of
036the 2020 bonds and also a resolution to begin the waiver process like I said not as inspirational as the last presentation but it is the glue that keeps you together to get these keep these facilities in good shape so I'm done I'm happy to answer any questions is there a fee for the waiver no there's no fee the feed the state doesn't charge for the waiver the lawyers don't charge for putting the waiver together we don't charge for putting the waiver together um it is really A administrative simple process any other questions for Mr Scott thank you sir you're very welcome thank you item e new CR Unified School District mission and vision renewal process committee and team and Mr PR before I get started I do want to say our team saw that Lily
037was on the presentation tonight and we promised to be more positive than Mrs skas tonight I don't think we're gonna make it so uh so first of all uh board president cabal board members and everyone here tonight thank you for the opportunity to present this important work of renewing our mission and vision for our for our nusd as we look at we recognize the importance of building our shared future this is more than just a district initiative it's a community-driven effort to renew our mission and vision and that is so that it truly reflects who we are today and where we want to go this renewal is more about ensuring The nclusd Remains a place where our students and staff and Community Thrive it's about setting clear direction that aligns with all of our values
038goals and aspirations of the future Mr good evening everyone um we are excited to be here and we are excited to discuss our mission V uh our mission and vision renewal plan with all of you um what we're doing is um we'll be gathering input from all of you and our students to work toward a common goal which will end up in a renewed vision and mission statement so how are we going to do this uh we're going to create opportunities for all to create uh contribute in shaping the future of Newman Crow's Landing School District we will ask for information and ideas from all educational partners with the overarching goal of understanding our students priorities and needs once our priorities and needs are established we'll design uh mission and vision statements that are valid
039for today and also in our future by working together we can create a common goal and shared Vision that benefits inspires and directs us all Mr Pro it so the next slide is uh is basically our why why are we doing this when we look at our current mission and vision statement um current Mission vision statement it was it was created in 2017 2018 school year when you look at that every one of our board members were not board members then every about half of our students have moved on and graduated our uh administrative team none of them were at the current sites they are now so things have changed our students have changed our staff has changed so that's why we're we're moving this forward now our our core team that you're going to
040meet everybody here tonight as they come up um we're not the ones determining what gets put on this mission and vision in fact when we all talked during uh earlier in the year about putting this project together you guys made it very clear to me that you want this to be community-driven you want to hear from the students you want to hear from the parents you want to hear from the community and in all aspects possible and that's really what our job is is to get the input from everyone that is willing to participate in this so that's what we're going to do Mission moving forward and um and again we're trying to create a mission and vision that guides how our students move into their tomorrow tying into Lily's presentation when we're not quite
041sure what tomorrow is going to look like for them so we're trying to do that in a way that uh allows that freedom to be able to choose and uh and be successful in the future that we're not quite sure what it's going to look like for every student especially these kindergarteners this year what is that what is that going to look like when what is our with just AI alone what is it going to look like in uh when they become adults so so um things are changing but I think we can put the team together and our community and really dive in and do this one of the things I would also like to say is Mike rule is here from the county and um and he does this for a living but
042I think he's probably more excited than all of us about this project and the way it's being done so so hopefully that's a little bit contagious and um and I and and again it's this is going to be uh I think it's going to be an amazing project at the end that you guys will be able to be look at and and be very proud of thank you as far as who is our team so we want everybody really involved in this process like Mr PR was saying and Mr cope was saying we want to involve all educational Partners so we want students we want staff we want parents we want use the board to provide input as well um we're looking for community members we're going to have various communties we do have our
043core team um but we're going to find various ways that make sure that all of our educational partners are part of this process and there's input for that as well yes so as you can see our core team are the of us that are speaking tonight Mr puit um also Nancy Fox myself Alysa soua rosier thiaga um Anita Palos Rosie bronis and Dan cope and just like uh Dr sua said we are just the group that's kind of coordinating these efforts and trying to um organize the committee meetings where we'll elicit input from everybody and at all of the sites and within the community together oh all right well as Justin said there my name is Mike ruy and I am with st Kenny Office of Education and really my role here um as Justin
044kind of outlined was to provide an objective voice and also just to help kind of project manage and how all of the pieces are going to move together now beyond that it it's really hard to to be with this team and not get excited about the work that we're doing I mean the way the team is working together the spirit the energy that's there it just seems like it's a lot of great teamwork that's happening here and I'm really excited to see what we're going to be able to accomplish but it is going to be a long road now to create a mission and vision statement would be relatively simple we could write down some words on a piece of paper they would probably fit our district pretty well and then we could move forward
045but that's not going to be a good use for anybody so by engaging in this process and taking the time that it needs in order to follow the steps to make sure that we get feedback from everybody to make sure that we're building teams that not only give us feedback today but we set up systems to be able to get feedback all along for the rest you know for for years to come that's what's really going to help build a Newman Crow's Landing into what we know it can be so ultimately right now we're establishing those teams we're having discussions about what the plan is going to look like we want to be very deliberate and intentional in every single thing we do because this is such an important thing for so many people you
046know as I understand it Newman cros Landing school district is the largest employer in our area hey that's a lot of people's lives that depend on us here so we want to make make sure we do this correctly so right now we're going to start creating the processes we want to spend the remainder of this year really building a very solid plan so that everything we do is again intentional and highly focused so then next year when we get into this process we'll have the plan in place we'll know all the pieces we'll have set up all of our foundations to be able to carry out everything we need to do everywhere from getting the staff rallied rallying students together getting everyone together to identify what needs do we have what strengths do we have
047how are we going to utilize and capitalize on all of that to build us into the schools of tomorrow and then finally we want to create specific goals we want to create products that are going to help us out here which will take us to the outcome of this work it'll be a clear mission and vision statement that's great we want to create an impact report and start creating a process where we can each year really look back and have a very solid understanding of where we've grown where we've come from and also leading into where we're going to go next we want to be able to update communication we want to Rally people around messages that are going to support each other you know one thing I've really noticed about Newman Crows Landing School
048District already is how much you care about everybody who is here and I mean look at the presentations tonight there's so much care in this room I loved your presentation especially the part about if anyone got hurt I'll probably be sharing that story a number of times down the road but ultimately what I believe we're going to have is a stronger community and ultimately when you build a community by leaning on everybody in the community to put those bricks into place you have a very strong Community to move forward and you could tackle anything at that point so ultimately what will we have a unified Community good evening it is a process but an exciting one because it will allow our community to come together with one focus and allowing for all stakeholders to have
049a voice to give us feedback ask clarifying questions and motivate each other to really contribute and Inspire to be a part of this Mission and mission statement uh to our board members I do want to take a moment to emphasiz the important role that you play in this process as board members your involvement ensures that our team remains responsive to the values to the beliefs and to the priorities that are of the community we serve we will need your help help in actively engaging with the areas you represent listening to their perspectives and encouraging them to participate in this renewal process alongside of us your leadership as a board and Outreach will contribute to a collaborative and inclusive approach and we look forward to the work ahead with you I just want to end with
050we want to make sure that everybody who is participating who is willing to collaborate that we're all active participants in the process so that we hear from everybody so in closing I want to thank actually everybody on the team for their leadership in this they've taken this job very seriously and they're and they every one of them is fully engaged and uh and I want to thank you guys for allowing us to move forward with this so um and again together we do have the opportunity to shape this district and and actually give us a guidance for every decision that we made if if we can get a relevant mission and vision statement that really does align with our community and I like uh Mike Ry from a from a um Unified School District to
051a unified community so I think that's really what we would be trying to achieve through this any questions excited thank you we are too more excited than Lily bless you uh item F our second interim budget report good evening board staff and Community um um I am Cassandra figuroa and I'm going to give our second interim report this interim okay let me see if I know how to use this okay so this is just so you know our interim is reported twice in the year so the first one was given in December this one is our second one and it tracks all of our spending from July 1st to January 31st so number do change throughout the year okay so these are the items that we consider when we go into our interim one-time funding
052changes Ada changes enrollment changes um and then in January the governor does release his budget which gives us different numbers and I'll go over those okay so this this is giving you our original budget which we give you at the beginning of the year um and then it did change in the first interim in December and then again this is through January 31st so this will show you that little clip um our lcff sources did decrease by 1.2% um our federal revenue State re other state revenue and other local Revenue those all did increase uh um so combined it's about a 2.1 increase from our original stated budget and also um you'll see as well our expenditures did increase so our certificated salaries increase classified and benefits are going to increase with the salaries books
053and supplies uh those also increased everything increased to about 99.7% um there's different factors that go into why things increase um sometimes it can just be a need for employees a need for new materials curriculum different things are taken into those numbers so back in 2223 the reserve cap was triggered which is the 8% um when we do the budgets throughout the year there has to be a certain amount that we need to reserve for economic uncertainties and the board approved 8% at one point um the state does have I'm sorry the federal does have it at 3% but our state is our sorry our board is 8% um there is also where we could have it at a potential 10% but it it needs to be board approved but it cannot exceed a 10%
054for economic insures so this is the snapshot of what we have projections right now um as you can see our uh it's kind of hard to read it if you don't know um the financial side to it but after everything our ending balance is 12.34 55.3 three and that ending fund balance is then broken up into different components so $55,000 is always in our revolving account which we use for um kind of like if there's a payroll issue if there's an emergency if somebody needs a check that's what we use it for um our restricted balance is always the same from the ending balance that you see and the assignments fund ending balance F 17 ending balance those are specified for certain things already materials curriculum projects those are already accounted for um and then
055you see the reserve for economic uncertainty that combined with the fund 17 balance is our 8% that we need this one is showing you our differences throughout the years that we're projecting um our total revenues minus our expenditures and so the ending balance is not not what we have that is actually just the decrease from the year so right now you see our revenues are exceeding our expenditure so we are deficit spending by 7.9 million roughly and then the following year again another 4 million and then 1.54 million the pension is something we can canot it's mandated it's given to us there's nothing we can do and those are constantly fluctuating um right now stirs is stable but pers does continue to increase hopefully this is it now that we're done with our second inum
056we're going to start on our next budgeting for the con the following year so these are the snapshots of every that we take into consideration when we do start projecting for 2526 um the cola right now is 2.43 um it was at first in term 2.93% so it did decrease a little bit um and then as you can see this right now is our our lcff Target funding rate UND duplicate student percentage um this is what we have projected for our enrollment and our lcff amounts are projected to be a total of 42,3 181,182 so these are the items that we watch for when we are projecting for next year um depending on the Cola can it be fully funded without revenues deferrals which will impact our cash flows um will we have new programs
057will we need funds moved we there's just a we have it's kind of like a a big Excel sheet that we just have budget throughout the year for um and then again we monitor the Ada and depending on that depends on how much monies we get um and then with the federal revenue right now there's different topics going around with how much money we're going to get so we just need to be prepared any questions any questions for Sandra thank you thank you item number nine the consent calendar consent calendar items are routine in nature and usually do not require board discussion individual items may be removed by the board members and presented for discussion and separate action the consent calendar will be adopted by a roll call vote we're going as amended we're going
