001Okay. So, Brenda everys always compliment that's where it starts. started in 2008. She gave 17 years excellent service to the district and our community. Lever of kids, but I would say a fierce competitor first. Always competing, always trying to get better, always upset with Perry because he wouldn't give us trade secrets, but she was always in turn and found her own way and she shined. Not only did she support her students, but her colleagues as well. Her husband Gil retired. So, dude, take her traveling. Take her on vacation. Brandon will miss you. Enjoy her time here. Correct. She is not. She wanted to send her regards. But we're recording, right? That will reverence. Oh, okay. That's retired in 2005. She gave 20 years service to the district and our community. Um, but she has 24
002total years. I believe she said she started with Yes. Okay. Um, Eva has a heart and a heart for kids. The kids always look or took a likeness to her feiness and her determination to support them. Ava not only supported the kids but also EL students as they were part of her heart. Uh she faced a few health issues along the way but she fought hard never giving in never giving up working through it. After co she started our long-term independent studies program. She got it up and running something that we didn't have before. Um and for the kids that really needed that delivery system and some blessing and so she has helped a lot of kids out. has also helped the school out, the district out because some kids just did better there than
003on campus. So, it kind of was mutually beneficial. You know, it was a brand new system. We had nobody to train us. So, she trained herself. She did fantastic job. Um, if you're out there, I'm going to miss you. We're all going to miss you. Keep the positive attitude and never get me down. Thank you. You're up. We're disregarding the shirt. And before we read that, I just want to give my special thing. There's nothing better than being a band and retired and supporting the chair of action and gay. watch. So, Shelby was hired in 2002. Gave us 23 years of excellent service in our community. But what blows me away the most is she's been at Farmville for 18 years. And I can't I mean no part was open 18 years. It seems like
004just yesterday we were dividing schools and getting us going. And I told her I can't call her a founding father. So you're a founder of the school founder mother. So um she loves her students each and every one of them. Well most anyways um and always got the best out of them. She didn't cuddle but she always cared. She didn't get but she always believed. She believed that if you hold kids accountable, they have learned to hold themselves back. She's always been someone I respected and someone I listened to. Uh in the end, you went from teacher to student or teacher of students to the teacher of teachers and everybody gained. We'll miss you and spend more time at the ballpark. We just won't. You can say that if you like to you started in
0051993 32 years of excellent service. Trivia and you heard this part before if you did it at Pioneer, but did you know Sophie moved into her room when Pioneer opened? She has been the only teacher that has ever taught. She's another one that has a big soft spot for our EL students. Her motto always was give them to she always said just give them to me and I'll I'll love up the leaves. She loves kids and they've always loved her. She took me under the wing when I got to pioneer told me all the secrets to avoid catastrophe. I've always seen her as an ally and a friend and she sees all of us to say. Uh Pioneer won't be the same about Sophie. They're true are of them source. Enjoy all the tenders in
006your life. Just so you guys understand, Sophie, how many Andrews and who are they? I mean, what? Andrew. My Andrews. Yes. A brother, a nephew, a son. But they all have the middle name, too. It's tricky. I appreciate you. What's that? You know, I love you. You know that I love you, too. So, Miss Mary G, come on up. So Mary is 36 years of excellent service to the district and the community. However, she started in 1989 as a latch, right? Y and 86 I started at last year. 86. Yes. Okay. You have 26 years as a teacher. Yep. Mary is um let's see. Mary is at least in my mind the most beloved special ed teacher district has had in her room was always a joy full of love and laughs because if you
007ain't laughing right Mary Mary's always been flappable rolling with it but also making it great she came the most challenging but by loving the hell out of her kids married to me you're the embodiment of goodness I missed She won't share the story she shared with me. Well, I guess it won't be here. So, Lori is not here, but hopefully out there somewhere in the land of TV, she will hear this. Um, speaking of legends, Lori tons 37 years of excellent service of Disney. 37 years. That is a long time. She started when I was two years old. Maybe not, but it was 1989. Um, she is the weaver book. She has raised many teachers and made them better. She is a weaver track and field guru. It was her thing. She got it going
008stop after Special Olympics to be out there. Um, she gave the kids something to be proud of. Kids that had never been in track field. she taught them and a lot of them went on to continue in high school. She also will talk about now support every time we talk through how similar about 10 or 15 miles. Um, she always acted like tough because I actually want soft. Yeah, she's soft. So, she was a soft miss. Right. Okay. So, first I'd like to say congratulations to all of our retirees without even accolades that all staff parents here. So, thank you on behalf of the USD board.

So, I'm gonna start off with our count as of May of 2025. I had a goal this year to hit 700,000 meals by the time we were done with um summer and our junior accounts and we actually did it before. It's 704,97 and right now projected
012by the time we're done with our juno counts and our summer counts will be about 715 72 76. So really excited about that. Um would not be possible would not be possible without my staff. They're just such hard workers. I'm so proud of them. They do a good job uh every day in and day out. So this is to them. Um, so this year I know we talked a little bit in September about our harvest program and this is legitimately not they did not like fruits and vegetables off this particular young lady and she was not a fan. Um, but as we grew on and you know we were introducing the different foods and the kids were becoming more to try the foods. Um, and it it's been a really successful program. This program became
013more than I could have ever imagined it to be had. It was great. And I'm really looking forward to next year. We're going to be introducing some new harvests next year. Um, a couple special programs. We're going to be going to all the classrooms. We're going to do EA Rainbow and uh, food group friends and explore, I'm sorry, exploring the five food groups and then we'll do our Dragon Blood Tacos event that we always do everywhere. So, uh, part of I I kind of broke it up into like how how this all was for us this year. So, the education piece of it, um, one of the things we wanted to do was give the teachers an exper an an opportunity to experience what the kids would be experiencing um, in the classroom when we
014were teaching in nutrition education or they were teaching. So, they would get to do different activities. whatever the act was that we did in the class with the kids, the teachers did that activity. You can see this uh thing there pointing at a uh voting chart. Teachers were super creative with the ways they presented different material and stuff for future education. It was really was really awesome. Very creative. Um very excited. I was really excited about the buying with the teachers this year. They were a huge huge part of this program. So taste testing, we did a lot of taste nesting with the kids. Uh the these are towards the end of the year, not going to lie. Some of them at the beginning of the year, well, my first young lady, uh but this
015was this was really good. We uh would encourage your kids. I I like, but we would give them a sticker anytime they attempted to move, even if it had not made it down and they sent it back out. We still have a sticker for ting bell. Um it takes we did a statistic in our uh training we did in Texas. It takes 8 to 15 times for kids to try something before they decide whether they like it or not. So um you know just the continual exposure to the different harvests it proved to be really successful this year from the learning kids and I don't know very much about the learning end of things at Sanders for day but the kids did a lot of the projects and stuff through the learning foundation so they
016would do counting uh they would do art where they would take piece of fruit and actually create art with it. Uh again, the teachers were super creating different voting charts where the kids if they tested it, they got to go up and vote whether they liked the artist or not. Uh and then we we implemented simple recipe preparation. So a couple of the things we did this year, one was they asked to make their own orange juice. The kids actually did everything from cutting orange to juicing it to trying it. And I'm proud to say we did not have to put any extra sugar in the orange juice. drink as they how they in this one you see in the top there. They're making hummus. Uh when we did the hummus, we did give some
017whole grain potato chips and vegetables. And the kids were more apt to eat the hummus with the vegetables than they were with chips. It was really exciting. And in this young lady right here, we did very funny faces where they got to write cream cheese on a bagel and they got to make face design. Well, they actually this is the name from the very first slide there on the right hand side. So, we were really excited. So, it was good. This has been as been a tremendous program. I'm really looking forward to the partnership next year with the early ed program and expanding this program. Uh this is my legislative action conference. I was actually uh nominated and elected as public policy legislation uh co-chair in the middle of the year. So next year I
018will be the chairman and basically what we get to do here we go to DC now we go to Sacramento and we get to talk to the legislators about important issues that are surrounding child nutrition program. So, you know, talking with them and and just sharing how important these programs are to our these these programs are to us. So, this is just some pictures from when we went we met with Ezra and yes, that is the office of Star Wars and those things actually moved and one of the swords was twing and it hit me in the head. That was great. This is our national tat conference. Again, we spoke in this one. We got a lot of good feedback. I'm going to read some of the feedback that we got. We are really excited.
019So, they shared with me um one of them said, "Love this idea and would love to implement something similar. This one was a cool way to feature a new food each month. Great presentation will train sponsors and centers to replicate this type of learning. Great info. I am not a teacher but learned a little bit in regards to the teacher aspect and it helped teach me how to connect the teacher to use education. So you guys have really really positive feedback um during our training sessions and yes that is me on the stage today. I have from the audience in one of my learning sessions come up and help them with their demo. They were demoing how much sugar is in cereal and yogurt. Uh this is our dragon love taco meat event. We do
020this every day with the kids around again. The kids get to build their tacos very creatively. Some of them actually build it with applesauce on it and made it fun. Watch them build it and actually [Music] Some other notable events we've done is national school lunch and breakfast week, our holidays events that we do uh breakfast in the classroom for starfesting preschool multicultural night. And then this year for catering events, this does include parties and celebration. We did 250 cater. So that's the largest amount we've ever done. So that's pretty cool. Uh looking ahead, we have National School Lunch Week. I'm really excited about this theme this year at Small Eat the World. Uh your school lunch passport. We are going to try some cultural dishes out on the menu uh and introduce kids to
021dinner cultural dishes and if they like them, they could possibly end up on our club. And then a couple partnerships. excited to be speaking at the school nutrition association conference and then I was approached at the preschool um multicultural night from the Merced County Early Education uh care home organization. They wanted me to actually go out and do what they did at the micultural with their families. So teach them about nutrition, letting them build there was room building. So they wanted me to come out and do that. So, I'm really excited to do that. Staff highlights my we just did school and churro day and I put together um baskets with spoons and bowls for the staff. We did an ice cream social with them. They loved it. And then this one I'm really proud
022of. So we actually were nationally recognized by USDA and um uh why am I going action for healthy kids and the chef foundation for our innovation in school nutrition and nutrition education. So to this date I was asking to this date only about 400 people in the country have received this award. So we were really really excited that And we have recognized for those the harvest program that we do uh providing parent education and educating parents on our meals and our meal regulations and doing uh community events. And then we were also uh written in uh Institute of Child Nutrition has an article that they do every month and we were featured in that for our harvest of the month program as well which is also a national. That's all I have for you. [Music]
023Thank you. Thank you. Now it members of the Republic may address the board on agenda or agenda items pursuant to agree between individuals. No more than 15 minutes to receive it. Pursuant to act code 54 95 cannot take any action or discuss the topic. Good evening. Shelley Ferrer in retirement. I have the unexpected pleasure tonight to help take my dear friend sister to retire. It is my pleasure tonight to wish her well to her new normal to thank her for all she has meant to so many in this district and whatever she has done in her 21 years in this district. It was always to the best of her ability jumping in head first to the deep end. Whether it was being the best teacher she could be by joining science and studies grants to
024learn more about those subjects, becoming the first student council advisor at Farmville who get students involved to create events traditions that still go on today or convincing award that a one release intervention program was best for Farmville, earning her masters in curriculum and technology on her own time and then being named teacher of the year in our district. Introduce to name a few things. She became involved in the union as representative here at Bondell and then again shford to the deep end decided to run free to be president but she didn't stop there after becoming the president she became involved with the state besid so they put that to but also at the county level as treasur of the nurser said teachers household until her retirement yesterday. No doesn't do anything halfway. When she's in,
025she's all in. As president, she became president. She looked at me and she said, "If I'm going to do this, I'm going to really do it." I said, "Okay." As president, she has consistently tied to what is good for students, teachers, and the district, whether they believe it or not. She's been professional, fair, and transparent. She is honest and forthright of members and they have learned to trust and lead as the clerk and it executive board. She has surrounded herself with an executive board that is ready to stand in the gap for teachers just as she has for the past eight years. She leads me and very achievable and good. She is a true friend. She's a person of integrity and she's one of the greatest people I know selfishly district my now have my
026closest and best friends golf with hang out with and do all things this could be trouble but I love welcome to my All right, we're at comment and Jose, I'm tired myself, but you're gonna have to give me a little bit of gra. Okay. So, and I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. So, it's with a heavy heart yet filled with gratitude that I share this message with you. After eight years serving as VA president, I decided to step down as I retire from my teaching master. This comes after deep conversations with my husband and careful consideration of the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we have chosen to embark on the student journey step. In August 2017, I attended my first board meeting where I address mission to foster strong relationships
027between teachers and administration, raise the standards for educational support, and encourage positive cooperation and communication between the teaching profession and the community. In the past eight years, we has rarely missed aborting consistently bringing forth strength, suggestions, and requests. VA has demonstrated communication, transparency, most importantly entail. Tonight, I would like to take one last opportunity as we discussed and my new president coming in here soon to bring forth some suggestions. So to the board, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are the elected representatives of our community. It is essential that you continue to listen to our community members, our parents, and teachers, and embrace any changes that may arise. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. Remember, asking questions doesn't imply doubt. It simply means you seek more information that may
028not have been clearly communicated. Additionally, I encourage you to be actively involved. Make those efforts, get to those events because the joy of serving on the board comes from truly understanding what is happening at our school. Mr. One important quality of a great leader is the ability to a great leader does not need to explain or overexlain. Instead, you listen and ask questions. It is essential to get to know your teachers, not just to see them for who they are, but also to recognize their potential. This includes even those you may even have doubts about as everyone has the capacity for greatness. Remember, stakes are learning. To the Weaver administrators, please take a moment to check in on your staff. I cannot emphasize enough how often a teacher just needs to be filled. Simple phrases
029like, "How are you doing?" can truly brighten someone's day. Remember, you don't always have to provide a solution to a problem. Sometimes just listening is more important than finding the fix. To my teachers and my members, I want to take this opportunity to emphasize how essential you are to our district and our future organization. You are truly the backbone of this district and the driving force behind success. Your dedication, compassion, and your unwavering commitment remarkable. They inspire not only our students but also one another. As I prepare to transition out of my role as your president, I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for the privilege of working alongside you. Standing with me tonight is my executive board. Eddie is going to be stepping into the role president and he is
030ready and devote here earlier as our treasurer. Shelly who's formed deal site red and our negotiation fair is retiring out. Peter he's our member at large and he's going to take over the board here. So he's going to be my my high here. Sarah Smith who site that year who has left us and was our site rep at Mary Andrews who was not able to be here tonight. She's my secretary. I am confident that the leadership and we members will continue the positive impact that our association brings to our district. This has been my professional home for 21 years. Mr. Hose, you did gold rush my very first year that I and so um I got called into Mr. or Dr. Alita's office in 2004 and I was asked, "So, what do you want to

She actually talked to some monkeys that she knows and we share our support actually
036contract contract that they gave us. But then I did a little digging around as well. I think these are always easier. Bullet bulletproof bullet bullets are actually easier. [Music] as I'm sure about. [Music] Yeah. So in the contract uh you covered whether or not we can proactive down below um it says uh the very is the second to last bullet uh to ensure the providers what we need the best fit the sheriff's department will be a full candidates and the district will be able to interview for the pool that I think what they do is they recommend you chest we interview if you like them great if not then so I don't think it's like Five people come in and we interview. We don't like people that suggest then they'll bring somebody else to the
037table. And as far as the contract goes, it's year to year, but it also has a 30-day cost. So that if either side can notify each other, but it's not working. Yeah. So you don't have to do a full year to tell me don't anymore. Well, we'll do it for a year, but then yes, if if something happens a big year, we're saying this isn't working. There's a clause in there that the written notice. Oh, understand school district. No. Yeah. Yeah. The whole thing. And what that is is it is their full salary plus all benefits of benefits. Yes. The whole Yeah. But not to receive. Okay. And so it all and these guys or women or whatever against they've already been trained as a county program or Well, go ahead and so they are
038sheriffs that do go through a program that just for being an SRO. So they are hired with the sheriff's department. They just especially training all the schools. Um in fact a lot of the major districts are actually going with the sheriff's department. Um the SRO also I put in here. They sometimes like to do clubs and actually get involved with the kids and sometimes they even coach sports teams because they want it to look positive for not only the students but the staff and community as well. They're wanting to build a bridge and to be a leaison to help us. Um, another thing that they also told us that the sheriff's car can actually have the sheriff logo and also our school logos to help show that we're building a partnership and that, you know,
039they're part of our community. U, couple other things they can do classroom presentations. I know a big one that staff is really looking forward to, especially the truency, is helping to assist on home visits. Uh, you know, back when I started, I went by myself. Now I won't let people go by themselves. Things have just changed. And so some of our heavier cases, it would be nice to have a little bit of backup protection um just to the presence to help know that we feel safe as well. Um, and I do know that uh staff and teachers uh support staff and teachers will get this as a positive, but they're wanting that presence of uh community and assistance with tough cases, but also someone who gets in with the the kids and gets to know
040the population as well. that sounds and working that article I did because you know from the student point of view in my day a little bit but they have to get involved because we have to get involved in respect but we have one but then you get those gray areas that have emergency behavior type thing that you know and then I just want to feel like that you just said well we got a problem with this this guy and the gun and and the baby club. So met himself and then they're looking at us, what do I do in this situation? I got a kid that's striking me and he's not just a kindergarten and he's going, you know, he's searching and they're looking for us. they are trained to help break up face whereas
041Burg's typical people raing up face. So I think less people would actually be hurt with that support. Um but that's not their number one goal. Their number one goal really is to build that relationship to diffuse situations. Yeah. What I'm saying though and I see you not saying because what I'm saying though the children here the incident that the children pioneer at that time was something doesn't go to restrain the job sometimes these kids on some everyday there are one or two kids at each individual school but they're not free but child is a possibility they are terrible the whole school system. And what I'm concerned about is that most of our black and brown and you know under underrepresented kids that are getting involved this this has to be considered because because what truth
042is but it's time goes before I use my train of thought and lesson I'll forget until our next meeting u a room how can I put it a security room or an area where you can actually confine I know it doesn't it doesn't sound nice but the confined emergency behavior whatever the situation with children and make it appropriate different place considering building a new school if they done something Louis I think at least for me if they need to be found by a room of some sort of children pretty and and you need to start getting ready to deal with a lot of times whether or not you want more active support or less active support in the office. I want I you know we need to get because there are no guidelines because I
043I I tried to produce the California education code and stuff and they kind of address them but they really need to they really don't put no resolution or solution to the problem of emergency but are we worried that they're going to be too aggressive or are we worried that they're not going to be able to solve the problem? I I'm kind of worried because they are not. You're saying that they've been trained to resolve this situ. And I'm saying that you got a young kid that's six years old that's kicking the cop every day. Yeah. And the cop is coming work expecting that and nothing is done by the school. They're looking at you for God's sake. I can't speak to that. All of our tier 2 and tier threes, their training is CPI training.
044So that is already in our schools. Um And so we do our best to support. I think we're looking at the SRO like as a support not only when we do home visits but also to be to be part of teams. We do have programs in place to help students with those behaviors. It is ongoing but of course we're not going to solve it overnight. Um I think where we going to see the more support that you're looking at is at the upper grades especially the junior high where they're the same size as adults. Um, but I don't think that's our number one goal, but I would like to also say uh and then I'll by myself, but I'm also a parent and I know almost all advocates in this that have gone through here.
045Our kids have gone here. Um, my kids are biracial. Some other kids aren't biracial here. Um, so I think a lot of us also look at it as you guys do as we're community members, but we're also parents. And I think our ultimate goal is how can we keep our students and our staff safe. And I think by adding this this layer, it would be considered like a tier three uh intermission. The part that you're talking to is definitely a tier three, not for all students or a selective few that might need extra help. Um but that's not our primary goal. Our primary goal is to raise awareness to have safety on campus for our students and our staff. And I I think another thing though, Louis, if you look at bullet number five, the
046big one, collaborating with school staff to develop crisis. I think that plays into a little bit of what you're saying is that he or she is going to be here for crisis. Um, I mean it could be a physical crisis or it could be a mental crisis, but but the fact is that person from the sheriff's office will be there to do that. But also coordinating these protocols with our own people even though they've already been trained, but another another brain is is better with new ideas. And the thing I'm glad you pointed out because one of the questions will be on the interview board. I want to ask them are they going to handle this notification and I think they may be coming another five years. Yeah. And uh and what are they going
047to do? I mean you know something about that too at least authoriz [Music] that and it'll be by education My my gut tells me from what I've heard, they select somebody that they think they know they're negative and they know who they think the wood. So they they said that generally schools pick their first books. We can they know but if we don't like the first choice we have the option to keep on looking. But I I sense that you primarily feel like this role is going to be located primarily and I'm trying to get direct to you and get you to understand that this may be the white people have all the other sites also. I honestly to share I really want to see them build a sense of community with everyone. Um I
048they're going to have a presence that helps all three sites. I want to see them coming to events and and building rapport with the families too because now they have an outlet for someone if something's going on they have someone they can reach out to and get the support they need for things that are dealing with outside of the school. I just want to add I think the difference between we have exerts and some of the items that we have in place right now for example like the security lays on all of the classroom there's counselor psychologist basically we had multi-tier support system that can be wrapped around services and so at that time I don't think that that was available but also the SR so many virtual advocate a bridge between staff community and
049those students that typically get engagement in in behavior that could be detriment detrimental to not only the student body of course the school committee but also outside having that student definitely is factor that way ease tensions as they build up because they haven't and are susceptible to listen and catch situations that may arise that you may not be ready to do to their training. So absolutely I know that having worked with I guess the last couple of years it's they engage the students there it's a lot easier to break up by when someone and even when we have such as the one you're referring to we did have services that was an emergency situation so even though you're getting people's emergency and RTI which I do want to add next year we are actually rolling
050out our district art style plan that the the coach has worked on. So you're going to see what we provide tier one, tier two, tier three for behavior as well as academics to the district. Um but there's those emergency situations where we all just have to work to help them all right too. I think with what I call school justice and more the county law and still come together because they can do something that we can. Yes. And I believe I mean I really hate to see a good right now, but I think we need and I think I'll get that question along those lines, you know, just really expensive. just curious um what the main reasoning is why we don't get the SRO or the campus supervisor support. Well, first of all, I want
051to just address the fact that one of the things we have to be most careful of is not them being too aggressive and breaking up very is people's perception that they're going to be everywhere all the time to solve all the problem. They're just not right. They're they're just like I would be as a principal. I'm not by that fight with me, right? And and so they can't control all that. Um but what we're trying to solve is that we can only go to a certain level um of dealing with the situation. But for me, it's more important to have that authority figure there. I don't speak and I assume speech, right? We're not We're hoping that they don't break a fight. We're hoping that fights don't break out because they're there. But the other
052thing that happens is a good SRO officer, they know we're poor. And so a kid instead of seeing him and not wanting to fight because he's going to be taken down, he doesn't want to fight. and he knows that he'll do it if he has to. But hopefully they build those connections because if I know you have the authority, but I like you as well, I got two reasons not to give, right? I don't want to disappoint you. I know I do. I've got problems. Um so the other thing that we're hoping is that you know when we had kicked that parent off that we met earlier um maybe Mr. would have been able to have a more respectful conversation with him just with somebody else. Just a presence sometimes opens up dialogue that isn't
053possible when somebody is kind of fluffing up and and trying to get aggressive, right? And so I think there's just a lot of benefits. The other benefit is that um our our office staff, teachers um you know are really requesting this. I don't know if it'll be successful, but I think that we're responding to some of their concerns. I'm trying to go to that work because they kind of we try we're not death to you know we don't have that area concerned. And I'm going to share as well a response time if there were an emergency and let's say there you know we've had the instance where there's something at farmdale that response time is seven minute five to seven minutes for them to get here where and then they can call if it needs
054more support there they have the access to that um of course you don't want things to happen but when we have to call outside we have to wait to be fair I think my I was kind of just trying to give the you know what are the points of difference and the supervisor going the SRO route. I think it's the badge, right? FBI there a little bit more of a resction like like support. Yeah. I would say it's probably also safer to have somebody that is trained breaking up a pipe than somebody that's not, right? Because they know how to break it up whereas somebody like I mean I remember the fight over and you're just grabbing and lifting and I don't have technique and just breaking it up. Um you know the other concern
055is Miss Bird was here. She she went down and out twisted her knee. She was out for a while. I mean, she came right back, but she's hollowing for a good amount of time, you know, and it's just nice to have somebody there when you're lucky enough that they're there when you need them to to help people. And my own concern was that I hear what you're saying, but in the lower case elementary school, I mean, situations that, you know, sometimes children like special children and they're protected by their 501, and they got certain rights. So that's all right. No violence there. You know, there might be some legality involved. There is and that's so you so this is to find out and then for the board and then you have what policy do you
056want to follow? We understand all this but you know this kid is only he wants to run around cap his butt all day. I was saying but they're all doing those type of incidents if there are continuing bang Then I guess about that and he needs to kind of know that hey every now and then he maybe needs a little extra on a daily basis. And I will share they are training because they do go to school. My brother's an SRO for Mercur City School District and he has to go to training often to make sure that he's up to date on all the codes and stuff. I want more the uh Would that person engage with the safety leaison? Yes. I would think they're going to work pretty hand in hand. Yeah. I looked
057at the law and I I hate to say it, but I think we have we have to do we can't take a chance at the teacher or we can get bad lab. Well, I know it doesn't probably, you know, it doesn't know, but if nothing else, it it might just send a message because we are seeing an increase in activities like this, especially at Weber Middle, is, you know, maybe it's time we just kind of send the word out. You know, we're not playing anymore. Um, we need we need to pull this in. We're not going to play around. We're we're pretty serious about making this school as safe as possible. And as a service to the high school and everybody I know if we could stop them here then they have a better chance
058of graduating and going out. So I know it's doubleged sword but I I give a shot. Yeah. So this item on the agenda is if you need to get sign the contract will it be like for that sample draft is that it pretty much that's pretty much it. Sorry about that. Okay. After we give you the okay n the not of approval. Well, so what they'll what they said is that once it's approved by the board, which you're doing tonight, I'll sign a contract. But nobody starts nobody gets paid. No money changes hand until we fix someone. If we don't fix someone, no money changes hand. We're just saying we're serious, right? We don't want officers to get excited, say, I want to do this. And let's say, you know, right? It's kind of like
059a deposit on the house. Well, I would say I'm sorry. Let's do a roll call. [Music] The only capacity by zero 2025 2026 district We'll control how many other. Anybody wants anyone? [Music] Okay. There are still changes. The funny thing is is that we write it, we talked about it, we make changes before the next board meeting. Then even after that the county will then need their review of it and there will be additional T just to make sure that it is in line with with what the state is requesting. What you have in front of you is the feedback summary. This a one page overview. This was staff, parents and community. If you go further, you have the staff individual. You have um and it has the uh doing well areas of improvement um
060and resources we need. And then we also have um the black community input and they were actually at the community um parent cafe. And then we have the community meeting at general. You'll also have information on uh the staff survey and parent community survey what we're doing. Well, see is it month here? Okay. So, on page eight, you have LCAP data outcomes and reflections, which is really nice because um parents do feel that their kids are safe. They like to school. um good education, child learning, good communication. So all those are things that tell us that um what we're doing is appreciated by families. They feel connected. And so when we take a look at this and this was kind of we've made a few changes if you'll notice a lot of this is is
061really just doing what we're doing back right areas improvement uh intervention stronger earlier math and reading intervention. show up together. They want us to do um here two supports. They just want us to consistently um improve support for their EL and students including IT player. We have I so they're just saying improve what you're doing. Not really brand new ideas. You'll see that um there is behavior and safety. We have that in the LCAP and that is something we do voted off on. So hopefully that helps all that. Um resources are needed staffing professional development should support all things that are addressed in the healthcare. Lewis if you'll do me a favor page five. This was we got a lot of feedback. probably the most vocal feedback was well that meeting we had here one
062evening and it is addressed in here um you know a lot of the things that came back on the survey were addressed in 1.7 supervision 1.8 safe. So there are things you have. Um but what I'm adding and deep because this was a very deep conversation that we had about recruiting and so you know one of the things was talking about the historically black colleges and universities there aren't any in California u they're out of state. So what I did find was that there's an alliance of African-Ame educators. There's the Black Teacher Project, International Alliance for Black Educators, and we have the email, their phone number, and we're going to start sending our dog lessons out. And so, you know, we don't be on there other than us. We're trying to get in to the
063publications and the job boards that are out there that um you know, people of color be. So we're actually making that attempt. And then u the other thing that they had in there that was a really interesting idea. You look on page six and that you imagine it's 2.17 and I did some research and they were talking about some you know elite small group the black students and I'm trying to figure out that was elite like hey good can't find anything especially in this area so I chose means there's really good uh tutoring and what I did find out was studies show black students and other speech of uh utilizing more than the white peers signaling demand for culturally responsive academic supports. I in fact small group tutoring frequent structured culturally aware is proven to
064be 20 times more effective for math and 15 times uh for reading compared to traditional models. uh lead small grouping tailored to fast track students uh learning ELA and math and uh provide small group instructions. We've got money for tutoring. We've got yellow. We've got this type of stuff written into the plan. We need to go out and give this a shot because year after year we see our American students aren't performing and we're at a loss on, you know, what else to do for them. We've got the money in the ELCAP. We've got after school programs. Now our job is to try to find out are there any of these tutor companies in vers that we can provide that's different and unique and it may work it may not but we're not going to
065know unless we try and so we're going to try to s them out and find out. Are you speaking about having black uh black tutors specifically geared to their own group? What we're talking about is probably that. Yeah, probably that um just because when I look at the research, it does state that people that are culturally responsive and I would assume that is somebody that is, you know, from the same culture would be, you know, because one of the things that they brought up was getting a African-American license. Our lives are awesome. They work good, but it it doesn't matter and and they're very good good people. That's not what we need. If research is saying that there are certain models of tutorial that are better than others for African-American students and we have the
066money, why not try and I can't guarantee that there's anybody in the area that can help provide that. I don't I don't get to guarantee that. to say is that all I'm going to say is you're going to try and apply for well we're going to try to get like come we don't want to run you want somebody else with that expertise come in after school do that I can't even guarantee anybody's going to show up but you want to learn it's just too much would just be too much to an hour no what I'm saying is that that obviously we're not the experts in to solve this problem, right? Which are experts in education with your rights and yet every year we're told that and not told we see that our African-Americans are not
067making soup, right? And so there must be something going on that we're not close to gay gap the way we want to because you have assets in school. We do have white. Did you have maps in some schools or something like that? But they learned earlier that black they're black participants in the schooling level and there's nobody that's actually doing the work or inside the classroom. Yes. And so and we've heard that over and over and over. So we did and we're saying let's go and see if we can bring people in that would test this theory and it works and we're all running ahead. And so you're willing about 50,000 to see We may spend 3,000 but we can't find but we're going to fund it. We're going to try to implement it. See
068what that give you something tool. Yes, absolutely. I actually have some ideas there learning centers but so I can get you in contact with them. They want to know what we said. There's also the tree costing and centers that restored justice that we've been in contact services around look at because we do the after school type we'll provide transportation if we already have transportation. Yeah. Basically what I'm saying is we want to work if it works. That's all we want to do is educate kids. Okay. What is there a number to the responses of the gate? You don't have it right here. I don't not at the top between all three schools. How many did you have 120? Uh it's Spanish and then I have not. Yeah. at least the 200. So we put it
069out and it's always in the struggle you know to get responses but anytime you get 200 I feel good because that's 10% issue but the other thing you got to control is only the happy people. So was that on prepar? That's all I got. You're welcome. behavior areas for improvement of behavior safety specifically says my question is help it is it completely I'm Oh no. and then next time. Okay. So on May uh 14, 2025, Governor Newsome released the May revision of the California 2526 state budget. Even with a projected $12 million or billion state budget deficit, page 12 budget remains one of his uh funding. We're really lucky because the state budget, I was at the meeting the other day and they're not talking a lot about this the other state budget. They're really
070just talking about how he's funding uh the school districts. Uh the revised budget protects the key investments in public education especially in early early learning and student support programs. Okay. Some of the key highlights for his K12 education. Uh the May revision um dedicates 2.1 billion of ongoing Proposition 98 funds to fully roll out universal TK statewide. So TK is a huge um program for him as well as the um ELO program, the after school program. Uh 525 million allocated in the May vision for the before after school and summer programs. And again on the LCFF we got the 2.3 cola and the way they're going to fund that is with some deferrals. So we really have to look at our cash flow which we've never had a problem with that but they're going to
071defer June 26 to July 26. We've had that happen in the past. Okay. Uh some of the strategies um to take into consideration as for the deferrals um no deposits will be made into the 90 Prop 98 rainy day fund for 2526 and that's going to bring it down to a zero balancement. Um back in 2014 uh Governor Brown started um investing into the rainy day fund and now we're down to nothing. So that's a little scary. um rele they the relocation reduces resources that were previously shared or allocated to the um California community colleges. So that'll also be really interesting. But it looks like we're pretty protected moving into next year. They also said the taxes their projections are actually looking better right now than they had um thought for property taxes. So that
072might help put many back in the rainy day fund. The next slide is just um basically the projection. Oops. Oh, see this is the other one. Oh, that's okay. You have the Oh, I guess it doesn't matter because you have the sheets there. So, I'll we'll come to this in a minute. So, the um page seven is the 2526 key planning factors. So, this just shows you how we get funded per grade level. Um, and with the cola, you can see it was added like $231 for TK through third per student. Uh, the next slide is the other key budget assumptions. So that's like our our mandated block grant, what we get per ADA, our lottery. So in wage up to 16.90 is um we have scars rate. The scurs rate the surge rate. Well,
073from PERS as well. Are those anything you see? So, we had a slight decrease in PERS which was interesting and then it kind of goes back up again. It was very slight and stirs has stayed stable now for several years. Okay. But we do book our stirs on behalf. So, I think that's why they've been able to stay stable because everybody books their life. Okay. So, the next page is page nine. And I'm sorry this is going to pop in. Okay. You didn't think I was I can't hear you. Oh, I did. I didn't listen to you. I'm sorry. Okay. No big deal. Okay. So, this is a look at our local control plan. Um, again, we have we didn't rebase, but we took new applications with new students and we ended up with a
074higher and duplicated last year. We have one more year with that. So, we're on a um three year rolling average. We are receiving $13 million in our LCAP fund. So that's how we're supporting all of those goals and actions. And actually right now we have about $700,000 that's unassigned and we're still looking at that. And so when I come back next week or a week and a half um we may have more of that assigned and these numbers might slightly change but um it won't affect our reserves. Okay. Okay. This is a look at the general fund budget. So, as you can see, our projected um beginning balances will be our ending fund balance from last year. And until we close the books, um we won't see exactly those are just projected. Usually, we see
075a little bit more at it. Um we have a combined projected at 20 million. We had our revenue come in at 56 million. Uh our expenses also came in at 56 million. So, we're really just deficit spending um 237,000. That's between unrestricted and restricted with an ending fund balance of 19,945. So, I'm going to tell you on line 21, ignore those two numbers. I don't know where that came from on line. It doesn't make sense. I was just looking at it like those numbers do not make sense right there. So, I will take them out, but it all balances down those. Okay. Okay. So go ahead and go to page 11. I'm sorry, this is so confusing. So this is just a list of all of our um ending our restricted ending fund components components
076of our ending fund balance I should say. Um the biggest change from second interim of this last year is our ELO, our expanded um expanded learning opportunities program. We're continuing to get more money into that program. Everything else has pretty much stayed the same. Um we do know we have our um learning recovery emergency block grant. will start looking at some of the expenses for those. It will somewhat tie into the LCAP. So, um some of the things we're currently working learning loss, uh different things with the LCAP will tie into this as well. I want to point something out there that so we're at about a million dollars or more, but our EUB is coming in at 1.4 million more and we'll give probably 3 million back because we're all out. We're I mean
077we're we are providing to everybody we can or offering it that doesn't cost us $4 million $5 million to run. So when we don't spend it all they will take it back. So that'll be the numbers. And the nice thing is are we reinvesting that money back into the program. So it's not like that money is being allocated other places. Um and and a lot of districts in are in the same situation that we're in. It's just taking time to bring that up to full or funding it before they have to put in place. Yes. Um we source 6762 arts and music instructional materials. Yes. Those were 426,000 and changed down to 6,700. Yeah. We've been using the block grant. We had a plan and I'll bring that back on the 20th. We had a
078plan to use that block grant to kind of um to bring our reserves back up. It's not the best thing to do with onetime funds, but it wasn't a lot of money. So, after the last um increases, we moved like our art teacher and our PE teachers over for a year and then we're moving them back. So, we're just kind of playing that game to use that money and kind of build our reserves back up. And it's not enough reserves that we're building that's going to affect us moving forward. Like using one-time money for ongoing expenses kind of thing. That's a different item than the other arts and music. Yes. Right. Because right below that arts and music in schools across 28, it's going to increase by Yes. That's ongoing and that's money that we
079have not been able to come up with a plan because we already have a very good music um arts program. We can't say plan. Yes. We can't say this will now pay for it. Well, what's happened is all those other districts that didn't have art music didn't count. They didn't pay for it though, right? But since we have one, we're penalized. We can't do that much. And there's some different things we can do. We probably need to look there's some waiverss we can do and we might be able to use it for some supplies, but again, it's all it's very restricted and the plan has to go with it as well. It's strange that that arts used to train I'll tell you sports and athletes that what sports oh that that no it can't be
080used allocated money this came about because I think there were so many cuts to music programs and different extra programs back in 08 and 09 and I think a lot of people have not brought them back fully but we go past and I think this has been set aside to help those I mean, I was talking to the district superintendent schools. Well, you know, we've never been in athletic sports. No, there's grants and stuff out there for high school that we're not. No. Yeah. But she even said to me, she goes, I don't know how you guys are going to spend this money because she's aware of our programs. So, and then the one other slide, the last page is looking at our reserves. So also next meeting I will bring a comparison to my
081second inter room projections for 2526 versus what we did and it's very similar. There's no big surprises. Um we had some leftover um sen concentration money for the elap last year because remember mid year we got that big bump and we did use that money. You just can't see it in this picture because we haven't found a second. So, I have still held aside that money because it's going to reduce our ending fund balance when we close the books. So, if you look at the very end, if we were to have a 12% reserve, we'd need to have 6.8 million and we have 5.8. So, we're at 10.23, which is a little better than second. We're at like eight, you know, high eight. Um, I hope so. Well, I'm working on it, but it's helped
082with some of those increases because, you know, remember we were looking at our that was Yes. And and that's always the goal, you know, is is to get back up there. I mean, we need to have that for the rating because California, like I said, they were really emphasizing a lot on how he's, you know, really big on education and but then on the other hand, they're going, but we have a 12 billion deficit in the state. So, I was kind of like, well, usually they talk about those two together and they were very much talking about them separately. So, a little bit of concern. And it also sounds like they've been fixing school budgets by using the rain fund, but they're down to zero. Yes. How do you fix it next? Yes, that was
083a really nice thing to know that we have that many day Prop 98 fund. And there's still, this budget has not been approved. They're still having some issues with what he's doing with Prop 98 right now. Um, so it'll be interesting to see what happens in the next couple weeks. So, that's it, but I'll bring you back more information. I'll have all the other funds on the 20th. and a multi-year projection for you. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Items on the board first. Yeah, it's a lot working. We'll bring it back to him. We can discuss it. probably sales and that's just take a look at it. Um he wanted to know if he wanted to come do a presentation and basically I you know just thought you guys have now moved on to
084look at it every month and say wow I think you know in the last couple of weeks you know that's always on the news market and very It sounds like when we did ours, it was kind of a a medium of the volatility gone up. Yeah. Down. We grabbed it. It went back up. Right. Right. So, I tried. Yeah. As best we could. Yeah. And we really didn't get hit that hard. Yeah. Yeah. Good. reports on the web. I'll make it quick. First of all, I want everybody to recognize Amanda. She did pretty much all the graduation from start to finish. She didn't see it. Hopefully, wolf out there. She's never done it before. She had very little guidance from me. very Elias. We gave her some information and she just put it together. It
085was amazing. Um and the parts that we did were amazing, smooth, and professional. It was well done. Yeah, it was well done. Good job. Thank you. You did a good job. The other thing I want to point out is our people that decide to be principal next year are now principles, but Then the last thing I'm going to call you is I sent you an email about an idea for edit award where we get six students and we narrow down to two to give an award but we always really like all six of them. And these are kids that don't usually get other awards and for some reason the teachers think that they are worthy of recognition. So instead of one Beaver Wildcat award, I sent you that list of things that we could possibly
086do different strengths. There were like 15 different categories and each kid one can you know I can't remember what hardest worker biggest overcomer all these different things. kindness. Kindness. Yeah. And I think because of those kids, we think, boy, this one. And this one has really build up the community. And this one just makes everybody smile. You know, they're all they're all worthy. And so we allow ourselves to pick six different names for their award category. All six are winners. So that's my we're not voting on it. I just want you guys to mold it over a lot of time. Yeah. And and what I said was, you know, the world picks the obvious. It's our job to pick the obviously, right? So we should do that. That's it. Let's go ahead and business establish
087the next board meeting. June 215 conference. Yes. Without any further business. I have no further business before I vote. [Music] All of their mom. Oh, that's right. There's no kids here tomorrow. Hey everybody that's still here take up a lot of food here and no Good night. Good night. That's the best. Who cares? Okay. Okay. Where do you go? Do you live my husband? Not too bad. He doesn't partially close. ABC. So there does it one person negotiation that they're only they're own Yes, I'm classified as well.
