013and tell us how want tell us what they learn I know it's a little bit of a hassle because you will have graduated by then you won be a student and Summer started if that could happen that would be great something if you guys approve this senior trip we are plan to have a meeting with parents and legal gards two weeks before so just in case if they have any questions regarding the hotel accommodations who how many students will be per room who's going to be the the roommates ETA any questions any conservative have we are plan to have this meeting okay and then the academic expectations of course academic expectations they should have completed all the graduation requirements um the CPR pass the Civic test and all those good stuff so we're having a
014a food sale this Saturday we're selling burritos with Mexican rice and beans and we're we're expecting to sell 120 plates and most of them are very involved but they already know like I mean we're glad that they're helping but in order to attend this inter they need to do all requirements okay I have one question why are no parents being going on this trp for as as like as cheron um well I don't I mean I have been the senior advisor and this is a great question and that would be great you know so most of the time we always I mean think in the in the money of course and we need a a shop room for 10 students right that's you know that's why always but I mean that should be something good
015maybe I don't know and at the same time I don't know how you guys going to feel having a parent you all I know is as a parent that just had someone go on this unhip I would have liked the opportunity or even the opportunity to have been asked if I wanted to chapone so yeah take the small I mean we can keep the doors open just in case I mean even if we have students who are not participating like on the food sales and on the concessions I mean if the the the doors are open like if they can pay their TI they can Jo maybe we can do our ter no but the thing is we need a bigger V for that taking are you taking the school car then andol car do
016you guys have to raise um after this food sale we will have about 800 what we exp and what other fundraisers Do you have um we are going to have a car wash in March enely official but it's at the December at the December bank statements they had 5700 is and I did bank statements yesterday so I'll have ready for tomorrow but I don't have the numbers right in front so at last count at the end of December at about 5,700 and that cover the hot basically we have around 5,000 right so we have enough for the tickets we just need to get some money for the hotel I know the ticket have to be purchased like right now to get in set for that so my concerns always the same h leaving at 3:00
017always concerns me because I'm always afraid that you won't be arrested and I hope you are I hope you get your rest on those two deck nights and you're not out chasing the kids around and then so you had a lot of rest to drive the bus home um if we if anything ever happened it would devastate the community the school and everybody involved right and so the the responsibility on you sir and the same responsibility coaches take when they drive that white bus and that is getting the kids there back safely right and so that's that's always my biggest concern and so I hope you have a good time I mean if you take Crimson I can't see how you're going to have a good time but uh I hope you have a good
018time and but just Safety First all the way around right make sure you get home any other questions or thank you both for approval of increase in ad Mr President members of the board the Arizona Department of Education national school lunch program has requested uni Val thank you guys current me prices recommendations and offs are below you see a a breakfast current price for breakfast is 290 lunch is 475 recommended 285 for breakfast lunch 485 no board AC necessary this is a study session item only any questions or comments do teachers have to pay that price so basically we're raising the lunch on the teacher the adults teachers lowering the cost breakfast which is surprising to me I kind of throughout options as long as it's at those two recommended it can be higher oh
019yeah but so we can lower it to make it so I just threw options out there if you guys want to make it some other different I was just surprised that it would go down because I know what's going on so all all it's the best deal in town lunch is real good try if you haven't tried the salad bar salad is is very good very tasty but um this is this is the best deal in time so we're not that's my only concern yeah I mean out of all the recommendations the highest would be a 25% raiseed only it's actually only 5 cents the cost of the breakfast is going to is it because we're we're school all all students free lunch the they want to make sure that we're not quote te marks
020taking advantage of it um so they want what they give to us for each meal to be equal to what the paid price is and that's this little tool that I I have attached so that they just put in what they reimburse us for nonpr sites and then that's how we get the full so they just want it to be equal we don't have to be over we don't have to make a a cash C they just want to make sure that we're not taking advantage of the to site or everything else I don't mind charge super but is there any further questions or discussion on that item thank you okay next item is the 2024 tax credit Mr President members of the board the board secretary will go over the 2024 School tax credit
021reports sent to the Department of Revenue and made to the board no board action necessary at this time this is a report only we have the information in your attachments it has a breakdown as far as um uh van stand field trips PSAT test all sports gos basketball non sports cheer golf volleyball softball we have the funds and we also have a comparison from year to year and Angelina is going to share this information I just wanted to um give this information to the board we didn't do this this last year and I I apologize for that this is the general report that we give for everybody that that donates from January to December for 2024 and um the attachments is the report that we have to submit to um Department of Revenue for what
022we we have to split it up between schools we don't normally do that but uh the donor can decide you know if they want it to go to the elementary school they want it to go to the high school um and then what we spent it on for the year so as you can see Elementary is probably almost always uh about field trips and then um we did with the new rules that came out about tax credits we can now use tax credits for uh CTE testing um CTE licenses we can use it for um uh CPR training we can use it for um college credit classes uh so what we did was um Mr Chi took the kiddos to um go and H their drone lies for the um the stem aerial Aeronautics uh
023class and this was that's for that second um so that's great to see we also um part of the is it part of CTE was part of our school grade where all one grade has to do CPR training it's a graduation requirement it's a graduation requirement so now um because that's a graduation requirement if we had to go Aqua ambulance or or to somewhere and say hey we want to teach all of the you know Juniors and seniors and whatever that can now come out of tax credit um so uh Department of R kind of opened that up for us so it's not only just about you know Sports and and um you know field trips and and and B um they're opening it up so that it can be CTE it can be you
024know graduation requirements um things like that for um because we're provision to we don't have to pay PSAT and sat prices because we are provision to so our Ks are are good that they get that so it ends up being like 10 or15 instead of the $80 it usually is but if we we want provision to it's on here somewhere we could use it for PSAT sat act uh testing for those kids that couldn't afford it it could come out of P okay so that's this is a breakdown of what we spent and what we received questions good job next item then is possible new agenda items for the next [Music] so I have agenda item I don't use disrespectfully so I'm sure you've all been listening to what's going on the Isaac school district
025and $26 million in debt and teach Haven been paid I just would would like to have assurances from the our accountants on on a regular basis that that we are not no you're not this we're not exceeding our budget you know what I'm saying I know Dr soel is doing a lot of great things and I just want to make sure that that we are staying within our budget and all that and I know that's why we have the of the year we have the budget but if we could just maybe sometime in the middle of the Year get something from the accountant even if it's just you know on the on the screen just says hey you guys are fine you're not overspending what you have you're doing great Dr so doing great as
026well know he is and just so that we have credible deniability you know but um and because they're they're talking about firing the whole school board superintendent are resigned and the teachers aren't paid they got 660 kids 6,000 kids I think it is that they're shipping off to probably other school districts unless the the legisl come in and bail them out Mr President Mr gy I believe they received an update just late last week that the staff did get paid we were given an update by um I want to say believe it was as SBA double Che email but they did get paid a lot is going on I can I can talk with Tyler for March to either here in person virtually to give I know last year he gave he gave we had
027the proposed budget in in June he adopted in July uh the annual financial report I believe it happens in October the budget revision Believe last year in February March gave an update powerpo just to show what the revenue control limit was the total M um we also G an update as far as what the reserve was I think you saw what the emergency Reserve was I believe if I remember correctly the exact number but I can have him give that presentation again March said there are a lot of school districts that are getting ready to have the same the same issues and it's all because of we don't have that problem here as much but it's all because all the kids are leing in school and going to charge schools right and so that's what
028was killing all these these school districts and [Music] I I can have a report to March March 14 I would appreciate it five minutes huh no whatever however long you need to be do on Capital on the um what we we have set aside for a capital reserve we always want to have set aside x amount for you have to purchase a new Transportation vehicle or a freezer and also the uh ml Reserve salaries and benefits line um so I can share I can share with him to present to you guys in March thank you I would really appreciate that sure not that I think for a minute that you're not on top of it right sure because I know you're on top of it it's just that I want to show the the district
