So our students have brand new primary playground equipment. Our entire campus is going to have improvements to our school safety, school safety upgrades and also for uh this is the second year of our of our school kindness program and the desert diamond casino. Uh the nation is going to also provide resources for that. Uh the final um part of my report can pull this up. Um this was a story from channel 13 on February 24th on our career technical education CTE archential drafting program. Miss Isabella Liscoco came to our beautiful AUSD campus. She was in Mr. Roma's classroom. She took video
005of some of our high school students. They were working on their AutoCAD software program and working at their desk for current blueprints. The end goal now that we have a construction focus to our architectural drafting program is mini homes. And so they're designing their mini home right now. And Miss Visco interviewed uh one of our students, Princess Montes, and also spoke with Mr. R. But I wanted to show everyone this tonight so we can see uh that this was this is a big deal. This is great positive news for our school, for our campus. And Angelina, can you play? >> Welcome back. A quarter of a million dollars is heading to rural schools. Puma Jed is granting $50,000 to build districts uh to get districts to build out their career and technical education programs. Research
006shows CTE classes keep kids in school and these districts need the support. 13 News education reporter Sol. CTE students work on cars. They learn to cook. They build houses. To qualify the CTE class, more than half that class time must be spent learning hands-on. But that's really expensive. Those students run through materials quickly. So when I heard about a new grant that can help, I drove to Aaho to find out more. Rural districts often struggle to find resources. >> There's less businesses around. There's less institutions around. And these rural districts struggle to keep kids in school. In Aaho Unified, 50% of students are chronically absent. Senior Princess Montes says one reason is the lack of electives. >> Besides their subjects, there's not really something to look forward after, and I think this class really provided
007that. >> She's talking about her architecture class. Students draft designs using professional software. The American Institute for Research reports CTE classes like this one boost student outcomes. >> We can improve the attendance, for example, because they found something interesting to do. >> Architecture teacher Antonio Romo says they're learning hard skills, too. The Puma JTE pass through grant helps rural districts offer CTE classes. >> What if we got you a little something? Get you some sauce out there to help make these programs grow and flourish. >> AO Unified is one of five districts to receive $50,000 this year. Superintendent Dr. Romano Theo says it'll go a long way. >> We're a small rural district. We don't have the biggest budgets. So 50 a $50,000 grant to be a JTE is like half a million to someone
008else. >> Just a class to some is a lifechanging opportunity for others. >> At first I was like I don't know what what I want to do after high school and after I got into this class I was like this is actually I really like >> Mont plans to study biomed engineering after high school. She says her CTE class gave her direction. Along with Aaho, Flowing Wells, Tanker Bernie, Santa Cruz Valley, and Baba Kevery School District received this pass through grant. AO plans to use it to add a construction class to the CTE program. You just saw the architecture class, but now students will turn those designs into a reality. They'll build small houses in the new construction class. Isabella, 13 News. >> Wow, that is very cool. If you have an education solution story
009you think Isabella should cover, just scan the QR code. >> Mr. President, members of the board, that concludes um the superintendent report. >> Okay. Thank you. Next up, we have the awards and recognition portion. >> Yes, sir. Mr. President, members of the board, and everyone in attendance, um the superintendent student of the month this time is recognizing sixth to eighth grade students. And before we have those three teachers recognized there, the three students, eighth grade student will be reading her testimonial on what it means to her for being recognized and selected as student of the month for eighth grade. Germany. >> Good evening everyone. First, I would like to thank the superintendent and selection committee for this incredible honor. I've never imagined that this moment would come. This is a lot more than just an
010award to me. It shows the dedication I have, the challenges I face, and most of all shows the strength I built. When I first came to Aaho, I never imagined it would lead to this moment. All I wanted was to grow and to make the most of these opportunities. Along the way, I faced many challenges that have pushed me to work harder, stay motivated, and believe in myself. Those moments have helped me have helped shape me into what I especially thankful to the teachers and staff who have dedicated their time, energy, and heart to help those students succeed. Thank you for believing in me and helping me stay motivated. To my friends and family, thank you for always being by my side and helping me find the light in the darkness. They have shown me
011that this journey is not something that should be done alone. Receiving this recognition motivates me to keep striving to continue to give my all and to work towards making a positive impact in other ways. I'm deeply honored and promise to carry this encouragement with me as I continue on my journey. Thank you all so much. President will start with our sixth grade student of the month. We will have Mr. Richard recognize his student and he has a certificate before his students. Good evening everyone. A model student is someone who demonstrates dedication, respect, responsibility and commitment to excellence each and every day.

Let let Yrie's examples challenge each of us to reach higher, work harder, and inspire those around us. It is with a great pride that we have recognized her as this superintendence award. Congratulations, Yan Dennis. My colleagues in the middle school basically share with you an informative essay. Mine is for me to share with you what's happening in our classroom middle school. Okay. So, I'm going to share with you a sort of PowerPoint presentation for me to acknowledge my testimonial
015for the grade eight award. Go ahead. Sorry. Thank you. Okay. Um, good evening to one and all. My name is Donnie Varen, a middle school teacher. Allow me to address you dear audience as I introduce to you the grade 8 superintendent student of the month awardee. I have some questions for you, dear friends. and indulge me please.

Those are the qualities of Germany and she is making her classmates and teachers feel same here in school. So join me in acknowledging the greatest superintendent student awardee, Germany proof. Mr. President, we have a special additional special celebration. Um, that was incredible.
017That was awesome. to say um before we recognize our 12 historic trends setters from our student council here at Aaho High School. Two of them will be make share some comments of what it meant to them to participate in this February 6 high school ethics forum at the UVA Elbert College of Management in Tucson. We have Morgan Contas and Kelli Mendes who will be sharing a few words. First Good evening board members, parents, teachers, and staff. My name is Morgan Conturus and I am a senior here at Aaho High School and I'm our student body president. I'm grateful for the opportunity of being able to share my experience with the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management today. On February 6, we made a high school history. We visited Ellert with the largest group of
018students and I'd like you to please take a second to look around at our Eller attendees to see if you notice anything. Our Eller visitors were all girls. It is truly historic to represent AO as one of the biggest southern Arizona participants, especially with a group consisting of young women who continue to astound us with their growth. At Eller, we learned the importance of ethics. Although Elder is a business school, what we learned on ethics is that it is a very important value to hold close regardless of wanting to pursue something business related or a different career. Ethics can be carried into any field and this experience helps us learn alongside other students from other schools. We worked on case studies together and we got the opportunity to hear what different CEOs thought about ethics.
019We will carry this other experience into our future careers to be with integrity. After returning from Eller, we got asked by fellow classmates about what we learned and did. And I'm very thankful we get to speak spark curiosity with our peers for trips like in a couple of years from now when someone asks where we are from rather than immediately thinking of a Spanish word for garlic. I hope they can immediately recognize a when we say we are a town close to the border because our town name has become so widespread. Thank you for helping us go on trips like Eller to represent our school and our values. Mr. President, >> good evening members of the board. My name is Kylie Mendes and I'm a senior at Alo High School. I'm honored to share our
020experience participating in the Elder Ethics Forum at the University of Arizona this year. This year, AO High School had the largest group attending the forums of 12 students participating. What made it even more meaningful was that our entire group of made up of young women representing our school and our community. At the forum, we explored what ethical decision- making looks like in real life. We worked with three different scenarios and discuss how we would respond to them from an ethical perspective. These discussions change us challenge us to think critically about honesty, responsibility, and the impact our choices can have on others. Last year, Aaho High School seniors placed in the top three of the Better Business Bureau Ethics video conference, which set a strong example for us. This year, we were excited to continue that
021tradition by participating, sharing our experiences, and representing Aqua Pride. Experiences like Eller ethics form reminded us that ethics isn't just something we learn about in school. It's something we practice through our decisions, our leadership, and the way we treat others every day. Thank you for supporting opportunities that allow students from local high school to grow as leaders and represent our community. Mr. Friends and members of the board, we have an outstanding group of Aaho High School student leaders led by their dedicated student council advisor, Mr. Fernandez, who I was told it's her birthday today. >> 12 council leaders recommended Aaho High School at the University of Arizona Albert College of Management High School Ethics Forum organized by Dr. Paul Melendez, distinguished professor of ethics and organizational theory on February 6th at UVA. They were presented
022with case studies where they had to make decisions and ethics played a critical role in their decision-making outcomes. Morgan Condras and Noel Williams presented to the entire group of over 200 Southern Arizona high school students from Tucson Unified School District Ngala South Point Catholic in Phoenix. Kelli Mendes and Princess Montes received recognition from the Better Business Bureau CEO Aria and I believe the rest of the students participated in answering ethics questions on video from the Better Business Bureau. This is truly a historic moment in our district's history as these 12 students were part of the biggest group in attendance of any high school in southern Arizona and we want to recognize them with a certificate with with the plaque. So I'm going to call their names and Miss Fernandez and Miss Marcy are going to
023welcome them up here and just shake their hand and they're going to go and stand. We we met yesterday so they know where they're going to go. And Miss Fernandez passes out. We'll start off first with um Princess Montes. PRINCESS GOT A MENACE. >> ANGELIE, you want this? SOPHIA WALKER Morgan contas Maya Lopez, >> KIMBER NO, Emma Rose, Anton Amy and Noel Williams. Families, we're going to give you a chance if you want to take a picture. Oh, sorry. Morgan Olsson. Families, we're going to give you a chance. You want to take a group picture. We're going to take a picture. What do you say with your students? >> Anyone else pictures? Give him a big hand. That's awesome. President special very special recognition to this outstanding group of students all girls and they offer
024the world awesome awesome job. Thank you very much. And since this is the end of the awards and recognition, I invite you all to stay for the whole meeting. But if you have something you'd rather be doing, Mr. I just want to know where all those tall girls came from, >> man. So next up on the agenda is the visitors comments which appears we do not have any. So next up is I will make a motion to approve the consent. >> I'll second discussion or question for a vote. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion carries five to zero. >> Okay business. First thing up in business is approval of additional classroom site funding for the 2627. >> Yes sir. Mr. President and members of the board, um the administration and
025the district's finance consultant agreed uh instead of revising the the uh certified salary schedule for the 2627 school year, it is recommended that an additional increase an additional increase be added to the classroom site fund base amount allotted to each certified classroom teacher. Finance consultant, Mr. Tyler Moore, will make a presentation to the board at this time and I believe he's with us now, right, Angela? Mr. Moore, um, it's all yours. >> Yeah. Good evening. >> I'll, uh, share my screen. >> All right. So I have to give a quick uh presentation on the plastic site fund strictly looking at at this particular fund and the budget that this one has. So I'll cover what is classroom tech fund. We'll look at the classroom tech budget and then the 27 classroom tech budget proposal which
026is to Dr. Terra's point of potentially increasing making a large increase in that classroom type contribution because of the capacity of some questions. So classroom site fund uh just a recap for the board was established uh through prop 301 and that created a dedicated funding source uh via six test sales to pay teachers classroom support and uh professional development. There's a there's a long list of items that are allowable under the statute 15977. Um it also has a performance pay requirement in there and which AO hasn't included in their class instruction if I'm done correctly. Um that uh proposition prop 301 was extended in 2022 for another 20 years. So this funding source is dedicated until 2042. Um and so again it's it's contingent on sales tax but um the way sales tax has been
027trending that fund has gradually gone up. Uh and so this funding source will be around for a while saying so how much money does have in this bucket? Um the current roll rolled over amount the ending balance from last fiscal year right which ended June 30 was $1.5 million annually um in this budget allocation under the current budget uh you are getting $842 per pupil and that's on a weighted per pupil basis and so if you have a um special education student that's getting additional funding because of the disability, you're getting that weighted appropriation, too. So, um, but 842 per pupil when you take the math um against your enrollment, you you get right now you're currently getting appropriated about $500,000 annually. In addition, you do get to collect interest on your fund balance. That
028is an allowable rule and statute. And so, that interest gets to be added back onto the budget balance recorded. So last year you collected $40,000 in interest on that. Basically 1.5 million. I understand that's not a huge amount, but that's restricted to the Arizona uh county treasur's office on what they can allowable investments, but that 40,000 gets added back on top. And so you take your in balance plus your 26 budget plus your interest earned. Um your total budget going into this year was about $2 million. Now, per your salary schedule and your pay performance plan, you obligate about $290,000 in uh expenditures from this bucket. That includes the um $9,400 I think it's 9,421 in base amount and then the 5614 in performance pay that that's when it comes at 290,000. So right away
029at this current moment you you're not even expending the amount of revenue that you're getting in. So that that's a that's a bonus, right? You're continuing to build the reserve, but um there's an opportunity here to increase some of the contributions and put that money um to work. And so again, I mentioned your current allocation of fiscal 26. We currently do a base pay of $9,421 and that's paid throughout the course of the year per paycheck. Um that was a switch I believe I recommended or we we we got there a couple years ago. And then performance pay is required to be part of this classroom type bucket. Um, albeit there's no dollar amount that you have to have, but currently Aaho has a a performance pay amount of $5,614. And so there's a total
030of $15,035 that pretty much certified teachers um are are being appropriated from this bucket in their salaries. This als this helps really offset some of your M obligations because you have this bucket specific that you use for certified staff for next year. As I mentioned, I think there's an opportunity as you see you're you're currently underfunded in terms of the revenue you're bringing in and the expenses that you're that are off. So this fund balance is going to continue to grow. And so uh to leverage kind of the the fund that you have available, the money you have available, we're looking at proposing an increase of about 9.5%. And then creating some round round numbers. So moving the base pay up to 11,000. Again, that would be paid out annually, sorry, per HI over the
031course of the year. And then the performance pay just putting it down to 5,500 and putting again shifting a little more money into the base which is get paid out per paycheck. So going up to $16,500 which again is an increase of just 9.5% or about $1465. Um, again, the reasons you needed this, you're in exceptionally strong position to sustain these proposed increases as I just showed you. Again, this saves any um M obligations that you would need to make in terms of compensation by by leveraging this fund. As I stated earlier to your fun, your revenues are about 55,000. And then even with these proposed increases, um I'm anticipating your your annual expenditures still being below your anticipated revenues. So again, you'd still be in a strong position in case sales tax or we
032get into a recession or sales tax or or that revenue coming in takes a takes a dive, you would still be in a strong position to support this on an ongoing basis for several years with the the fund bounts that you have in place. So, and really that's it. It's just kind of a short presentation talking specifically about this bucket of money and leveraging it or certified staff compensation increase specifically on the salary schedule for next year. So, >> you take any questions? >> So, this isn't a one time shot. This is for now on. Is that right? Can you hear me? This will be ongoing. Yeah, >> ongoing. Okay. >> Any other questions for Tyler? >> What what does that raise our total base pay for a a teacher at a high school system?
033>> Are the B Mr. Mr. President, Mr. Go if I can answer this title. Correct me if I'm wrong, but on average the the per pay period, the base salary increase the big number is from ML. That's not being touched, but the base is going pretty much from 9421 to 11,000. So, every certified teacher staff member is going to see an increase in and $1,579 to the base pay. >> So, what did the teacher Angelina, what's the what would be the lowest paid teacher now coming in off of starting with no experience that would increase the >> it would starting >> 46,000 total the M amount and the 11,000 amount would be 46,000 >> yes >> and it goes up to as high as 58,000 >> so before years ago it was 35 to 47,000
034so Now you can see everyone's going up on each level and the lowest is 46,000 with the highest being 50. >> So we have our one through three which we have a a few teachers start right here and then it goes you move over as your education increases. So, uh, a teacher with a BA with, uh, eight years is paid a little less than a teacher with an MA plus six years. So, they could be the same. They could both be math teacher, they could both be have six years, but because their education and the education has to align with with what they're actually teaching at the time, then they move up in salary concepts. So this is what the proposed 1100 and then this is >> 11,000 sorry >> um is coming and then
035each of the steps goes down as the education and years of experience >> Mr. President Mr. introductory. A long story short, each step now you can go up an average of 2500 from the start of just a bachelor's degree to having a doctorate. Whereas before pretty much you were locked in at that number and as far right as you went with additional graduate studies, you were still locked in at that number. So, so that's the change that Tyler helped guide us with on the M amount, the big number with this classroom size fund base that we're able to move up from 8421 last year to 9421 this district now to 11,000. This is this is a best practice that other districts do. And so, like he stated, you see the numbers, we have a very
036healthy reserve. We have a healthy reserve of of 1.7 million after doing this. and the money is still coming in for the next 20 years. >> So I guess my question would be we can't allocate a little bit more of this to the teachers. We have to have that big amount of money in the in the fund. We can't I'll let Tyler answer that because he there's a reason why he he gave us those numbers and I'll let him answer that. Tyler, can you answer that? >> Yeah. The the question was why can't we give a little more? >> Right. >> They hear that right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I mean uh we want to be careful because this is this is still contingent on sales tax. So um going really heavy one year spiking a
037a compensation and then all of a sudden have to turn around and take it away. That that's tough on an employee uh who may be you know if you go up a year they may become relying on that that new money and then the next year have to take that away. Um, so gradually increasing over time is probably best for u your employees. Um, and then to be able to consistently give raises over time rather than spiking it or having fluctuations over a course of time. Again, I think it's just uh easier to budget for and then um again better for that employees so they're not seeing these drastic changes in income on a year-to-year basis. >> And we in 2008 to 2009, we did hit that wall where sales tax went down and recession
038went down and we had to bring teachers. Um and then that 301 money we had to pull back and Rift teachers to for like a year or two years. I don't think anybody else here. Uh we had the Rift teachers for a year and two years and then we came out of the recession and then the sales tax went up. But then we were really cautious with what the 301 and how we added it to the sales tax because we >> Yeah, if I can add it the years Angelina is talking about the allocation went down to 100 I think $130 per pupil. And so you you can see we're at 800. That is a drastic change right in allocation. So that would flip your your allocation down to, you know, just a few less
039than $100,000. And then so you'd be operating years upside down. You can sustain that right now. But if you went heavy, really heavy this year, um that may not be sustainable for a couple years while you weather maybe a recession, a a recession time like, you know, the 089, right? It wasn't, you know, it's a couple years where we had to weather that storm until it the fund rebounded. So, >> well, I I'll bow to your expertise, but and I can't speak for the entire board, just for myself, but I I certainly would want to compensate the teachers to the highest level that we can afford to do as a district all the time, right? I mean, we're nothing without our teachers and thank God they're in a huh and so that would that I'd
040much rather have the money in somebody's pocket than in a fund, right? And so, but I'll you know you know a lot better than I do. So, I I I value you your wisdom. >> Mr. you got I mean I respect your that there's a fine line right um to to balance that and uh I think since I've been helping auto we we steadily increased year after year uh and you know I think that's uh even you've been leveraging these funds now to the fullest capacity we I think we want to continue that and uh I want to come back next year and be able to do the same thing. Um so that's part of the cadence and part of the reason this recommendation is at this level right now is to continue that ongoing
041um increase that you've now been able to do by you know leveraging these funds and being good stewards of uh of your resources. So but I I understand your your sentiment. It's yeah, getting it into the employees pockets as soon as possible. >> Okay, any other question? >> Thank you very much, >> Tyler. We appreciate you. >> Thank you, Ty. >> Byebye. >> Mr. Mr. President, the board, the administration recommends the approval of additional issuance of classroom site funds for the 2627 school. I will make that motion. >> Second. >> Any questions or discussion? >> Say I. >> I. >> Motion carries five to zero. >> Next item up is personnel.
