001Welcome everybody. Call the meeting to order at 4:05. lead. Hello. an addendum to the motion. All in favor? Thank you. And I see we have some public comments today. Welcome Thank you for being here tonight after our talk at the thousand flags. Nice to talk to you out there and nice to see you out there. So we allow three minutes per person for public comments and you don't have to go in any specific order but I've got your names here and so I'll just call you as comes up and read the first one. Absolutely. I'll be right there with you. I just got that after. I can see it to the road to the road this road school. Um, imagine a generation of students growing up with a deeper appreciation for our ideals that shape
002this country. A renewed sense and purpose of unity, respect, and freedom to cherish. By restoring the Ten Commandments and other uh fundamental documents to our public schools, we can spark a renewal of civic understanding and pride in our national heritage. The 10 in the Bible have not only influenced our legal system inspired the very document on which our republic stands. These principles are woven into the fabric of our society reminding us that freedom of religion is a cornerstone of our democracy not freedom separation of church and state. We can see that our founders envisioned a nation guided by enduring values not by exclusion or division. Not a call to theocracy or uh extremism. Our origins and honor the vision of those who built this country. Legacy is carved in stone depicted in statues and embedded
003in our national symbol. Yeah, excuse me. These are historical reminders that will empower the future generations to uphold the ideals of liberty, equality, and justice for all. And God with us remains our nationality. One nation under God. Our commitment to self-evident truth that all people are created equal. Unalable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These words are not just history. They are a living promise to every citizen. Please join me in this effort to strengthen civil civic education reinforce our our shared values and preserve the legacy of our founders for future generations. I respectedly request that this proposal be placed on the future agenda for a vote. Thank you for your consideration and this vital step forward. Thank you, >> darling. Hi. Thank you very much. My name is Kate Garland. I
004live in this district and I'm running for school board here. I can do it again in two years. I just remember growing up and my mom was saying, "Wow, they're taking the Ten Commandments off the walls. No more ten commandments schools. They're taking prayer out of the schools." And I was young. I was kindergarten and I didn't understand all that. And she had to passion what is happening because that's all she knew and that's I was raised and slowly but surely when I moved here in the 80s I was finally raising my hands and it it seemed like after that it just kept getting lost and lost and now um the ten commandments is still part of laws. We have laws. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt honor your parents. Thou
005shalt not steal. On and on and on. Um those are good laws, good rules. God knew what he was doing. Um every religion has every right like like you mentioned. That's why we live in this country and everybody wants to come here for that. But they're they're mixing it up and trying to bring their laws here, their religion, but they won't acclimate to ours. And it's like it's okay if we stand up. say that this is our country and um we have the freedom to do that and put our ten commandments that that I remember when I went to Mount Rushmore that was part of our founding everything. I learned so much at Mount Rushmore. Even when I went Kentucky to the uh Noah's Arc, they had the Ten Commandments there. Everywhere I go, people
006are asking about the other states. The other states are putting it back on the walls back on in the Portland back in public place. Ten Commandments. Now the prayer. If other religions can pray, we can pray. Doesn't need to be a battle, but it is a battle. I've lived here in Clinton County since 1980, and I've lived in this Rosale district for 28 years now. Thank you very much. Jeff Sanders. Thank you. Ben years ago, my Our founders understood the power of they knew God would act. They also knew this truth of blessing blessing was applicable to nation. Deuteronomy keeping his covenant of love and keep his commandments in the Mayflower compact. The word compact is a civil agreement. How best do we get along? How do we get along with each other? There was
007also a history reported sign. It was a set of rules governance. They knew they could not start. The leaders of this meeting knew the responsibility to build to maintain growing as one. What were the key points? Number one, the colonist would remain loyal to subject. Number two, the vage to the northern glory of God and the country. Number three, in the presence of God, these men together. So colonist laws, ordinances, acts for the good of abide by those laws. without knowing history. No effect. Thank all of our speakers this evening. Thank you for bringing that information to us. We appreciate it and we will talk about it in our uh discussions in the future. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right, moving forward. President Spickler. President Okay. Thank you. Sorry. Sorry about that. All
008right, superintendent. You start there. eight seeds in the whole year. That's 10,000. again. What's happening? Thank you very much. Thank you. Do we have um summer camp at all? >> Oh, just summer camp. We got summer camp at I've been to summer camp a few times and picking up students and uh it just looks like a blast. Everybody's having a good time. I wonder if that was All right, moving forward. 3.3 resignations and retirements. 4.0 action items. 4.1's a consent agenda. Have a motion to approve the consent agenda. Second in favor. Approval of the following feedback contract. Thank you in a second. All in favor? favorite thing for sixth graders participating. Thank you. Second favors something about that annual report. Thank you. Next slide please. So our annual report our allocation for this budget year
009is $974,100. The number of teachers. So this funding just so that you know does have specific requirements. We are required to expend 80% of our expenses for staff and the remaining 20% materials and supplies. So um we currently staff that six teachers with that doesn't mean that we for more but that is what we were able to uh to locate for this past year. We served 3,387 students approximately and that was at school sites. We did not fully expend what our allocation was just to to clarify that. Um but that is those are our numbers in part. >> We have all the same staff. >> We do. >> I agree. And the money that we didn't expend, does it go back to the state? >> It carries over. >> Need to use some of that
010remaining funds to fund different things concerning. >> Um, so it is >> supplies. >> Absolutely. We we will have some additional expenses that we're dealing for this summer. um because we you know instruments need to be repaired and or replaced or we need to purchase new um we buy supplies and materials that support those programs. So those things will be happening over the next couple of months as well. >> Is that a number for that budget? And what how do how do we all feel about the job we're doing? >> Uh the number is fantastic if there were enough qualified credentialed folks available for all of the districts that are seeking those folks uh to employ. That would be fantastic. So um there are limited applicants. We even interviewed because we interviewed somebody from Texas
011two years ago just because it's a so >> they're in high demand. >> And do they have to be credentialed just like any other teacher or can they have expertise? >> So we're able to hire credentialed folks and classified folks through this funding source. um we have flown positions in both regards and not been able to locate staff. So we have we have really churches are a good place for some of those kinds of people. >> Our music team are wonderful. Um they're a pretty tight-knit small community, you know, in the larger scale of Bakersfield and they talk to one another. So um they have also encouraged people that they know but you know with 46 districts and everyone looking for bodies as you can imagine people getting on multiple things. Thank you very much.
012Have a motion to approve. Thank you. Second in favor. The approval of the current high school district lunch contract that 2.5 approval of the following purchasing 4.2.6 have to part of it renewable services agreement between Hops and Drive. Thank you. All in favor of year end transfer resolution. 11. >> Um to to my knowledge, this would be a transfer that we would make at the end of the year from one fund to another to balance resources. Um, so as we're as we're closing the books and we're spending out the zeroing out accounts and zeroing out um specific resources, we would use that to to reallocate to basically balance those resources. approval of the resolution 25.6 regarding educational accounts to establish directed from revenues. All in favor of resolution and lead the entire effective June 30th,
0132026 and authorizing the transition legal service. So, can you explain to us how that >> Yes. So, under a JPA, um KCSOS was like the managing, you know, partner in that. So, there's two JPAs, schools legal and CISK, which is self-insured schools of current. So in a JPA they have their own boards and they have their own funding. Well over the years um schools legal has not been able to uh sustain you know looking at the future sustain their finances. So they are dissolving the JPA and now becoming a division of PCSOS so PCSOS can help support. >> So is it all the same people just under a different same people, no changes in uh services. Um so it'll actually just be just the transfer. We do have to approve that transfer each school district
014and then approve that uh we will continue a contract with them under the new division. >> What do other districts do that don't have that? Do they just put a attorney on there? >> Um so are you talking about counties or you talking about districts like What would we do if we had it? If we just said, "Let's go." >> Then we could hire an attorney. So, Kern High has an attorney um that they hire. I think Pakist School District does, too. But to have uh one attorney for a school district when they typically only specialize, you know, maybe in uh HR or contracts, um you know, special ed, it would be really difficult to have one attorney that specializes in those. So that's really why we want to look at >> question all in
015favor. Now we're going to do what you said the legal services agreement between Roseville Union School District County Superintendent Schools. Thank you. Second favor agreement for 2026 27 after school sports program when you talk to them all I hearad They hire some of their students, coaches, and that that whole thing. Really nice that we can work together. >> Can I ask a question on it's kind of involves that? My grandson played basketball at like third grade level. What's with the ML? There's another what's it called? >> So, the elementary sports program is run through our ELOP and it's Skyhawks that we contract with and that is um we we're able to pay for it our EOP so parents don't have to fund that. Um N is working with our middle schools and so we help
016support that um you know 50% but it's really ran you know by them. Um years ago N used to do you know our youth programs and they are looking to add that back but right now it's just another um I have a conflict on the second Tuesday of the month. Um so I'm asking if we could move the board meeting um either to the first or the third Tuesday of the month. Um otherwise my over here will be I didn't work for you. If you desire to keep it on the 8th, um I will not be able to be out of town on the 1st or the 15th. >> Okay. What about the 15th? >> Okay. All those other >> normal Tuesday of the month in favor following local assignment. opportunity. motion. And we've got
017a couple other bucket in favor. to replace second. Thank you. policy weather 4.26 is the uh board policy concerning weather and love the fact that we work to >> Yeah. So this is a new board policy. So typically I take it to Gary and Patty, but it's brand new. It just came out and we have to have it in place by June. So that's one of those new ones that are coming. >> 17 of FA fac master of the code of conduct. Um I uh I read every word of it and I think in great detail like all the Make sure they know we do have our administrative team review that reviews it with them. We also have the principal review it with the site site staff at the beginning of the year and it
018is graduation tattoos that doesn't come out until um year after Okay. 4.28. A motion to approve the second. Thank you. All in favor approval of the 26.7 salaries. presentation of local indicators. Thank you. So our local independence um just as a reminder everything of student outcomes conditions of learning and engagement. So the these are all aligned to state priorities. Um there are actually 10 state priorities. They are listed there for you. I'm not going to read them to you. However, as a school district, we are required to annually report to you um the eight that apply to school districts. So, the priorities 9 and 10, those only apply to county offices of education. So, I won't be reporting on those today. Next slide. Priority one, priority one, excuse me, is about basic services. Um that
019is a reporting of our status of credentialed and appropriately assigned teachers. It is we are um required to monitor instructional materials and the status of our school facility. Next, so for the current school year, we had 96% of our teaching staff were fully credential. Um the remaining 4% are in progress, so they are on some type of a special permit like those that you approved this evening. Um which just means they're we have um the rate of appropriately assigned teachers is 100%. So that that's great because we need to make sure that we don't have teachers misassigned and teaching things that they are not appropriately good for. Um student access to student to standards excuse me along materials is 100% and our facilities are in priority two is about the implementation of state standards. Next
020slide please. So for the math state standards, we are in full implementation and sustainability. For English language arts, we are also in full implementation in sustainability. For English language development, we've made a lot of progress. Um we're not yet there in that full implementation and and sustainability, but I will tell you that we are past the initial implementation. there's just not a middle indicator that we can um select. So I had to select the one that we did meet all the criteria for. And then for the next generation science standards, we're still in that initial implementation. Same thing, making progress. We're not quite there yet where we can categorize oursel at that next level, but we're getting there. Uh, you know, it it depends. I know Francis's team has done so much work. Um, and
021you know, in full transparency, English language development, we have some staff that had no familiarity with supporting students that were learning English as a second language and we had other staff that were very well-versed and then everything in between. So, our implementation, it varies based on school site, grade level, um, you know, kind of what numbers are. So, I think it might take us a little bit of time, but we are definitely moving in the right direction, making progress. Staff are reaching out. Um, Katie Timman's heads at work with this the sites and there's been a lot of good. >> Absolutely. Because we have students Yeah. We have students that come in and you know they um we do the initial language proficiency testing to determine what level of proficiency are the students when they
022come to us. Um, when you have a student that's a proficiency level one versus a student that's a proficiency level three, there's a lot of skills that students already have when they're at a proficiency level three. It's much easier for them to move, but it does take a lot more work for them to move from a level three to a level four. question. >> Um, what is next generation science standard? That's something I haven't heard yet. So they're our science standards that um they're dee termed or the phrase was coined by the state next generation science standards when we shifted um some shifts that occurred are standards that used to be taught in one grade level shifted to so that there was better alignment with um material that was covered. um there was a shifting
023with like some of the physical sciences versus earth science material. I I I don't know Francis if there's anything more specific that you want to jump in on that would be great. >> Yeah, I think it it has to do a lot with how we're teaching it and so making sure that it's um a more hands-on approach. Um students can apply the science skills to performance test like questions. So that the assessment change. So it's, you know, when I was in school, it was more skilled. So you learn the vocabulary term, you defined it. So this is more like I learn a concept and I have to apply it to a new situation. Um and so um this is something that we're continuing, you know, to work and grow on. our our lower grade students,
024you know, our priority has been to try and get our students back um in in good shape postcoid and everyone. So, we're still working on fully training all of our staff in those standards and they're pretty robust. Priority three is um has to do with ports access. So it ensures that we offer a broad course of study available in the required subject areas and where this applies for our district and middle schools. So we do have um I I would say we have a broad course of of studies that students can access to find something that is interesting and engaging for them um with our elective offerings. And so listed several of them there for you. We have art and so all the real um art, band, Spanish, career exploration, medical detectives, life skills, project
025lead the way, strong body, which is exercising, working out, um crossage tutoring and so there really is something pretty much for everybody. Um so we do offer choir at one of our middle schools for this school year. We were not able to have fire at the other middle school this school year because um the students complete an interest form for what courses what electives they'd like to be enrolled in and there were no students that were interested in selecting choir. I I think it was a function of um there were a lot of other interesting electives for them to choose from and um you know sometimes that happens but I'm happy to report that we are we are in progress trying to bring that back because we do still have some students that have displayed
026interest. We just we would like to grow the college just take it just depends on you know what student desires and needs are and if we don't have any students fill the class and shift find something different. Oh well she is she was fabulous please. we have more options now. So perhaps that was part of the problem. I don't know. I'm guessing uh priority four is about student achievement. So that is not something that we um we do locally report it to you. However, it's not based off of local measures. It's based off the the state assessment that we um have not yet gotten all of our students. Uh those reports are still coming in because um you know they vary depending on what the subject matter is whether or not those have been completely
027reported back to us. So that data will be coming at a later time. Next slide please. Um and then student five um student five priority five I'm a little bit tired is student engagement. Um this is reported based on our cowpads data. So this directly ties to our student information system. We take attendance daily. Um Christa's team monitors how important and imperative it is that we are reporting accurately because you know our average daily attendance does matter. Um and and we also don't want to scare parents by sending a robocall or calling them and saying the child's not in school. So we monitor that through cowpads. Our student information system feeds that information um as well as our chronic absenteeism. And if you recall a couple of years ago, we were not sitting in a
028great position with chronic absenteeism. Well, next slide, please. Our attendance rates for the school year that this commenced, um, we ended at 96, no, we ended at 95.79% and that was an increase from the 2425 school year of um, about 310 of a percentage. So, hey, improvement is improvement. I'm going to celebrate that. There's a lot of folks that work really hard for us to get there. And our chronic absenteeism, which as I referred to a few years ago, we were sitting at as a district at right right under the 20% mark. We were at like 19%. We ended our school year with a chronic absenteeism rate which dropped from the previous school year of 8.37% and again that is due to a lot of hard work by student supports the school offices the teachers
029lots and lots of folks that we invested in trying to get kids to school this year. >> I would ask you to tell all those people all those probably almost everybody how much you appreciate them even only fraction. It's still better. >> It was truly a group effort. All of our say administrators, principal, DPS, our deans, social workers, social psychologist, the safety or SRO um teachers like we ask our teachers to get involved with literally every single person um working really hard to get. >> I feel like after CO or during CO you up the white flag, but uh we used to have flag, right? Somebody got to fly the flag, >> the platinum flag. >> Yeah, >> maybe we should come up with that again now that we >> we do have some school
030sites that that can be really amazing this year. And so hopefully we can build on using them next year, but some of our other sites, middle school seems to be harder. parents are leading kids to go to work to get them to work sometimes and so a little less control. So we need to focus on very happy to hear this. I we have a saying in my field we just get our feet in the seat and hopefully good things will happen. 90% of success is just showing up in life or something like that. So, you know, I just don't see how this isn't helping. Priority six is about parent and family engagement. Um, so we have a self-reflection section where we um the following items for engagement, decision making and participation um regarding building relationships
031between school staff and families, our level of implementation, school implementation and sustainability. There are some really great systems out there, our schools, um our school staff in the office, the administrators work really hard to welcome families and invite them for lots of opportunities to participate. um the building partnerships for student outcomes. We are in full implementation and sustainability and then seeking input for decision making. Full implementation and sustainability. As many folks as we have that are interested in providing their input and being part of, you know, making our schools better, we welcome them. There are a lot of opportunities at the school site level. Um what we often see are the same groups of people showing up over and over and over again. But we we do invite lots and lots of folks to be
032able to have a voice and participate in with us because it really is what we need. Next slide please. Priority seven is about school climate. Um so safety, discipline, and school connectedness because those are all important. Um we look at the indicators based on our um our student information system. So our suspension rate is just under 1%. Um our expulsion rate remains at less than you know it it it's less than half of a percent but they won't let me enter a smaller value than less than half a percent. So less than half a percent it is So those are, make no mistake, we still do have students that are being suspended and having discipline. Um, but those are good numbers because what what's happened is that we're really invested in that code of conduct
033and the system of support that that you saw outlined there and really trying to offer lots of support and and intervene in lower level ways when it's appropriate, right? Because sometimes it's not. um to help reshape better behavior for kids because we we know that they're not going to go home and be suspended and magically know how to behave better when they come back in a day or two. So I I think they're I think the school sites are doing great this year. We also have less incences that could be closing than we have in the past. So we really didn't have this year. I was going to couple weeks ago this >> just in case I changed it. >> Next slide please. Um so part of this is also you know we do ask
034students because we want their voice is important and we need to hear from them not just what we report. Um, so based on student surveys, we survey, as a reminder, fourth through eighth grade students. They independently take the survey on their schools through device. Um, the percentage of students reporting feeling safe at school is um, you know, average school sites is 86%. Our elementary students tend to report higher percentages of feeling safe than our middle school students. Um, you know, the older they get, the bigger problems. unfortunately they face with peers sometimes. Um that factors in and then the percent of students reporting that they have at least one adult who cares about them at school is at 93% which is a really great indicator and reflection on the folks that we have in direct
035contact with our kids every day >> at the RMS graduation. I said I don't know name, but there was a there was a gentleman in a very dark suit. Um, maybe dark complexion. Um, I overheard one of the students or a couple of students saying how happy they were to have them for all the time he spent with them. Just overhearing that as I was walking by trying to find those kids that I knew. But I just thought that goes along with it. I would be curious who that was, but I would venture I guess that we probably have a lot of students that make that comment about one or more of their teachers. I mean, I I can remember my favorite teacher. >> They remember me. >> Well, they don't now because they're all
036dead, I'm sure. Okay, next slide please. And then priority eight are um is the other student outcomes. Other important indicators of student performance like community service, civic engagement, arts, music and leadership. Our students do participate in music and art. There are service projects that are typically leaded um leaded typically led at each of our school sites by our ASB by our student um councils. But oh my goodness, we have such high percentages of students that want to indeed get involved um when their when their campuses have drives for the variety of things that they support like um you know the honor flight pennies for patients. Um they'll food drives. There there are a lot of opportunities and kids do get involved in those through this project. >> We love seeing. Absolutely. There are probably 10
037more that I can't think of right now. >> Next slide, please. Those are our eight local indicators. You have any other questions regarding those? >> Thank you. Um when when do we send out those? the first of the year February after >> the students I think it's the beginning of March but we do staff and parents in February and then follow up with students evaluation We have a motion second in favor. Thank you. Motion carries. Thank you very much. 22 presentation. >> Mr. President, um I have I have a I do not like that I have to go to this event. So appreciate all of you have a well soon. I need a motion to uh move into open public hearing. Thank you. in a public hearing. Motion to close the public hearing. Thank you
038guys. Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate it. Thank you. Need a motion to close the public hearing. Second. in favor. And for the public and with that board member item >> Oh. All right. So, this is Yeah, I know. Sorry, guys. Um, yeah, slowing me down. Um, okay. So, this is uh budget adoption. So, I just wanted to kind of go through um Okay. Um, so the Yeah, I'm like just so I can go back and forth if I need to. So, first thing I wanted to do is I kind of wanted to just start off by talking about the budget cycle in general because I sometimes I think it's kind of um confusing that I'm ending one year and trying to estimate actuals for one thing at the same time as create a budget for
039the next year. And so they they kind of I'm in two years at the same time right now. And so I just wanted to kind of highlight that. Um so the first thing we're going to talk about today is estimated actuals and then we'll work into proposed budget for next year. Um and so I just wanted to kind of highlight that and what that looks like. Um so the first thing I wanted to do and I know that there was a you know there's a letter I think that um Michael had asked me about um with deficit spending in um in this school year. So, I wanted to kind of break it down and talk to you guys about what that deficit spend looks like and why it exists um in our district. And so,
040what we've got here and and this is our estimated actual. So, what we did was we took all spend through the end of April. Then what we're doing is estimating May and June expenditures so that we get what's called estimated actual. So, this puts us in a place where we can say through the last 10 months, this is what actual spend is for the next months. This is predictable spend so that we get the closest we possibly can to actual spend as we're starting to close the books and finalize the you know paying all the bills and all those things. Um and so when we look at um when we look at this, we're looking at it in two different categories. We're looking at unrestricted money and we're looking at restricted money. Unrestricted money is
041is what comes to the district that doesn't have strings attached to it. It's not one time money. It's not, by the way, here are all the things that we want you to do with this money. It's just it's LCFF revenue. Um, so a lot of times you'll see that that broke out that way. Restricted money. Those are things like um ELLP money that comes in with specific things tied to it. We want you to spend this money on um you know, extending the school day for students. We want you to spend this money 28 on music teachers and music education. we want you to spend this money on specific grant, whatever it is, fill in the blank. Um, and so a lot of times, um, so the the unrestricted side of it is you're like
042you spend that money on the students this year and that's always the plan. We spend every dollar we receive on this year's kits and that's always what we plan to spend. So you'll notice that on the unrestricted side, you'll see um total revenues for this school year. Um so far we still have two more months that are coming in but what we should be estimated to receive in revenue is $75,232 95. Um our total expenditures on the unrestricted side is $6 million or sorry 60,654,000. total contributions from the restricted side to uh or sorry from the unrestricted side to the restricted side is that 14.775 million and that's to offset programs that are in the restricted side. So taking money from the general fund moving it to the restricted side to follow to cover those
043programs. Um there's a handful of different programs that would be in those school through eight. Um special education would be one of them. as well. And so we're taking that's where that's that will be.775 which leads us at the end of the year being $226,000 over spent in on the unrestricted side to do what we need to do. And so that's that's the side where we're working to balance that budget. We're working to reduce our spend in every way we can. Um I came to you guys I think in February and let you know that so far I think in February we were already at our full planned expenditure for um for gas, diesel, um PG, all of those. And so right then is where we start making adjustments to try to reduce budgets in
044certain areas and others and really make sure. So um that 200 that 226,000 I'm not happy with that. I don't like you know a deficit spend on the unrestricted side, but given the circumstances that we were working through, it's not as bad as it could have been. Um, and so we really made a lot of work. We did a lot of work to try to try to get that as reduced as we possibly could. Looking at the restricted side, there's a $5.4 million deficit spend on that side. And I know that looks super scary, but remember, when we get money coming in on the on the restricted side, we receive all of those dollars in the same. So when we get a 28 allocation, it comes in, it's a million dollars. And if we only
045spend 600,000 of that because we don't have enough staffing, we don't have enough people to backfill that, then that $300,000 rolls into the next year. It's what we call carryover. And so when it lands in the next budget, it's no longer revenue, but we still have to spend it. And so what you're looking at is you're looking at revenue where we have like, you know, what is it? 15.8 million dollar in revenue on the restricted side, but we're still spending all that one time money that was coming in. And so that's we're constantly playing this catchup game of this rolled over. It's carryover from a previous year. We have to spend it down because the last thing I want to do is send any money back to the state. I'm doing everything I can to
046spend it within the threeear window that they give us to spend. And so that's why sometimes it looks a little bit different. So when I say that I'm not as worried about the the restricted spend as I am the unrestricted side, it's because we're spending down. It's not a structural deficit. It's not um because we're overextended. It's because we're planning to spend the one time. And so I just wanted to kind of highlight that and talk about that a little bit before we moved into the budget option. Any questions on this? still meeting our reserve for economic uncertainty. Still ending fund balances in in solid places between 9 million and about 12 million ending fund balance at any given time. And so we're really making sure that we're we're in a good way, but that's
047kind of how it presents. So I wanted you guys to see any questions before I move on to the next set. No, no, no worries. I It's It's confusing. There's a lot of different moving parts to it. So I want to make what I talk about in um so moving into projections. We do a lot of work in projecting and really looking at what our next year looks like. And so I wanted to take a couple of seconds to talk about what our projections are and why they're important. And so the first thing I wanted to say is projections are what we expect to have happen over the course of the year and they're based on information. And so there's a lot of things that change. State budgets change. Um the the things they prioritize
048at a state level over time. So, we're taking those pro those ideas and putting them together to try to build out our um these projections are not forecast. So, I want to make a distinction between forecasting. Um forecasting is what we expect to have happen and it's based on you know like they'll give us a whole forecast. It's based on you know four or five months worth of data and they'll say okay this is where we're going to be forecasting and like what we do for estimated action. That would be a similar idea. Um, and so basically our projections are only as good as the data we have the moment we make that projection. As soon as it moves and something changes, that projection is no longer good. It's moving. It's constantly inex. Um, so
049our projections are mathematical results of current decisions based on given assumptions. um they can and should change anytime underlying factors change, new budget information becomes available. So we use a lot of different places. Industry standard um is using lots of data points, lots of tools from different places and some of those places that we pull those from. School services of California, you'll see SSC. You get a lot of stuff from our county office comes from SSC. Um legislative analyst office, this is LAO. You'll hear state budget staff a lot of times talk about the LAO because kind of an independent source from the state budget uh people. Um and then um FIMMA or crisis um sorry fiscal crisis management assistant team. They're the ones that that create our LCF calculator and how to kind of
050predict what so these are just important information for those decisions. making sure we identify any potential fiscal um fiscal challenges that we have ahead. Um things like that, planning and allocating resources and making sure that we have what we need when we need it for that we have today. So um state budget I wanted to talk a little bit about statuto so at um when we enacted this budget 2526 was set to be 3.02 that's what that was that was what was there at that We had four data points that determined that 3.02 was going to be the fourth at the governor's budget in January. It was 2.41 shifted. So with those shifts, we came up with a new plan. That was my um in January we were doing our working toward our second. So
051we made some adjustments based on um now May revises hit. We've got the revision from the state budget. This is now we have all eight data points which now the cola is set at 27. So that shouldn't so I wanted to just kind of bring bring what that looks like. So that's constantly moving and as that moves we adjust our being said you'll hear a lot of folks right now talking about a 4.31 polar colar plus maybe I think they're calling like a super polar some other things. Basically what that is augmentation of the cola. The cola is based on those eight data. So if I go back to this this 2.87 is based on that the formula that they arrive at this 2.87. If the governor wants to give above that 2.87 they have
052to do it in a specific way. He can give it to us as as an augment to the pola. you can adjust that polar up based on what if they have higher tax revenues or things like that. They can do some different things. Often times it seems they're giving that money to us in one time grant money, but this year they've done something a little bit different and it's actually the first time that this has happened. Um yeah, I think it's the first time it's ever happened. Um so this augment is this 1.4 on top of the 2. And so what's different about this is that the governor gave us this 1.44% 4% augment to the polo and then said by the way you're going to need to use that to dop so pregnancy disability
053um and so didn't give us a mechanism for typically that would come in onetime money but this is 14 weeks of paid pregnancy um and now it's going to have to be part of our our plan going into next year what's difficult that is is it's really hard to predict who's going to be pregnant. Um it's really difficult to so what I kind of in the in the workings right now is taking the last five years worth of data who's taken pregnancy leave and then using that to base out what we think is going to happen in this next upcoming year. Um there's some moving parts that I'm a little bit concerned about because in the past maybe some of our 3.75 or our people that work under four hours might have said you know
054I'm I'm going to go home. I'm going to be with my I'm going to raise my baby and then I'll come back to work when I'm late. Um, and so with this being 14 weeks of paid leave, that could change their decision and that's going to be really hard for us to to predict um what's going to happen with that. So right now I'm kind of looking at that 1.44 as cool. That's amazing. Let's see what Let's see how the how we have to ride this out and what it's going to actually I'm really hopeful. Right. Right. So, five years from now hopefully we don't have the garden issues that we do. Um and so yeah, it's just it's just a different lens that we have. I just >> 14 um all subs and so
055I know pregnancies have always Um, yeah, it's it's iffy. Um, I have I've talked to a couple of different COS. Um, one in a particular district ran through some different numbers did their kind of fiveyear forecast is predicting for their their district is three schools I think they were predicting somewhere in the ballpark of about $300,000 in additional lead time or additional money to cover um so the 1.44 for him won't that's you know those are predictions as a baseline kind of what we think might happen um so really what um the last CBO meeting they had um they discussed setting up a local resource so that we can track it for an entire year so whatever whatever that happens any costs that are incurred we can create a resource so we can track it
056over the course of the year and then we can start basing is exactly what that's going to cost. So the fear is to people might get this 1.44 use it for other other means >> and then Exactly. So I'm kind of like let's let's set this aside. Let's make let's write this out. See what's going on and then if there's any extra or you know there's something in a different way. right now it's super expensive and I don't want to work that into my budget knowing that that number could really expand. So, this could be a situation where the governor makes it sound like he's giving us something, but it costs us. It does have I mean, the the paid pregnancy leave, disability, it is from from what I gather, it's supported by partisan. Yes,
057there's there's a lot of folks that really really like it and um I just I'm hesitant about what it looks like for us, right? Like I have reality. So paid pregnancy doesn't sound like bad for them, but the reality is how do we how do we weather that especially that we're not sure how it's so from there we take all of this information that we get and we build out assumptions for what adopted budget would look like next year. Um, as Sue has kind of talked about at every board meeting so far, we are in a state of decline. Um, our ADA for 10 enrollment for this year. Um, I've built this budget on 5,912 students, 85% attendance. I feel like we fluctuate between 95 and 96. I don't want to build a budget on
05896. If I if there's a possibility it might be slightly less than that. Um, so I felt like all year staffs have done a fantastic job making sure that attendance hits the way we want. I'm comfortable building a budget on 95. I probably could have gone to 95 and a half and felt pretty okay with it, but that half percent I'd rather be a windfall rather than oops, I overestimated midyear. Um, so our funded ADA going into this this notice is higher than our actual end. It's n it's 5,930 students. Um, but that's because we're currently on a threeyear average because we're in a because we lost that 200 students plus projected to lose some more. They're giving the benefit of giving us the benefit of the three rolling average. So if we were to
059build a budget based on actual enrollment today, it would be 500 5,587 students. That's what we would be building. For every one of those students, it's about 14,000. So that would be that would be pretty. So benefit of a threeyear but knowing that that threeyear average is going to continue to go down over the next 10 years if we don't get all these kinds. Um so with that all cap action steps are fully allocated and teacher sorry certificated staff um step and columns 2.5% yearly classified step and column increase so it's a little bit easier spurs is projected to stay consistent about 19.1% and that's predicted to be the same in the coming years is 26.4% right now. Years out 26.8 and then it actually goes down a little bit 25.9 in lots year but
060we'll see. Um unduplicated pupil percentage right now. So these are the students that are free foster youth free lunch. Everybody gets free lunch qualified that way. 44.25% which is good. So as As our enrollment declines, our unduplicated student stays pretty consistent. So, our percentages are going up a little bit, which is where we get our supplement of that money comes from. Then, um, California consumer price index CPI is 3% average over the course of the next three years. I think it's right now. So, with that, then go in and I build a projection for what should happen next. So based on the number of students we have enrolled and those that 88% we should be getting $75.3 million in SCF revenue. We have federal revenue coming in at 3.4 million title programs like title one
061development couple of different places. So we don't get a lot of federal money but every state revenue at 7.3 million local revenue at 6.6 million total revenue of 93,678,58 million. And so um so I took that and I broke it out just so you can kind of see where our revenue comes from. most of it LCFF dollars and you can see the 3.7% comes from the federal government. Then we flip to the expenditure side and see these are planned expenditures for for this uh upcoming school year. Certificated salaries this is with that 2.5% step in column. This does not incorporate or include any um any adjustments to um any adjustments like salary schedule adjustments. This is just if everybody rolls into next um so 37.256 million classified salaries at 14.2 million employee benefits at 23.5
062million books and supplies at 8.2 2 million almost 8.3 services. Million capital outlay $320,000 and then other outlay total expendit because we had that talk about restricted and unrestricted. I wanted to break this out separately so you could see restricted side versus unrestricted side. Um and so our net increase so for components of balance we'll see that first line across the top on the unrestricted side we will we will have revenue that is $10,000 higher than it's tight. It's close. Um but that's but we're in effect we're balanced. We're balanc 8 million of one time money we're spending down on the restricted side. So that's where you'll see that total ending fund balance being a kind of a larger negative number. It's all restricted. Um beginning balance is both of those kind of doesn't make
063sense to look at beginning fund balance separately but the 11.6 million is where we'll start the year and then our ending fund balance will be that economic uncertainty% cash of $2,500. It's just standard practice. Then restricted that restricted money down to the $161,000 assignments match up. Any questions? >> One bizarre question. Do we get 100% of the spend? >> Um, yes. As of as of right now, yes, that would be the case. We actually probably get reimbured slightly higher than your spending. So that actually goes to support staff and using those funds to support to pay for the folks that ser over the course of the last few years is um you know so now we have someone that's um that's cooking the meals. We're having someone that's running the salad bar and we're having
064someone that's checking to make sure that students are getting full lunches as they come through maximizing what we get back. We are not allowed to charge. I mean, we can charge adults. So, like want to charge. >> I know. Yeah. If we There's not There's a When we first got our salad bars, I think there were a handful of people that would go in and get salad bars and they were kind of surprised like it's not $2. There may come a time when we have to do this. There's a lot of people. >> Um I think the only the only real or the only offer that we had was making sure that if you were planning to retire, you let us know early and there was a bonus that we gave to for doing that
065>> but no like golden handshake or anything. >> So what's our best situation? >> So that has been the longest process of anything I think I've ever done in my life. We're two years in and I'm still I'm still working with a Toz. I'm still working with um Sanwin Valley Air Control District um and Zesby. So I'm kind of working with both of those groups. Um we have received our first set of um of the chargers and like the we call the meter setup. So for the charging ports and all of that stuff. So we received the first set of that. We're waiting for a reimbursement back from that program. So I basically made them I made them break it up into three parts for me and I was like look I'm not going to
066buy $14 million worth of stuff and wait for you to give me $14 million back. So, let's break this down into into manageable chunks. I can give you 600,000 600,000 back. And so, that's how we're doing it right now. So, I'm stepping through it nice and slow. So, that all it's been a way longer process, but at the end of the rainbow, at some point, we're going to have 10 free buses. This is going to be worth the probably Oh yeah. um diesel diesel costs especially in the last couple of months have been pretty bad and really making that we were already pretty close and then you know so right now we're in the part of the year where we're kind of shutting down um purchasing for we have to kind of close it down
067for two weeks so we just got done all of our things like every bus And then we have first the buses are on order. We'll see how >> 10 nine >> 23 buses and so we're the nine buses that were Yeah. So the nine buses that we are trading in are buses that don't really work anyways. So we we kind of got them working again traded in the ones with the lowest value possible is what we spent a couple thousand bucks getting the buses running back in good working order so they could pass their CHP tests and all of that I did see one of our >> every once in a while. Um I think our our mechanic and our team do a pretty good job of keeping keeping things in really really good working
068order. They do break down occasionally, but buses. No matter what we do to keep them in tiptop shape, >> that when we talk about music, I have to say that had a chance to see many of our performances this year and the kids. It's just amazing. One of the things that was just riot and kids are so just that was kind of cool. And then we had another that song which was just absolutely beautiful. So it was just quite kids that also did also make regarding choir was at the performance at American said if you can just wait long enough they absolutely so great good participation just I like the way they had presentation amilies. Um, and then when we talk about partnerships, indicators, I think for me every year, you can see I've seen
069kids that they are present to the class. Um many years about Facebook other than sorry But it's just so we are well by the way. to see. All right.
