001um the quarter pounders are more it's in phoenix um it's finishing up i'll get it i go to taa next so they had to get the new railings in we had to install a step so when you open the doors an additional electric set comes out to help students that need the extra so this one kicks out so it cuts the distance in half so that's that's the last part of the finishing we had to they had to take the rails where you would look in the straps to secure the the wheelchairs or an arizona standard to go and replace those rails but that strips the floor they hook into it our arizona standards and then those that come out and ours that can go in so we can properly secure the suitcases yes okay

014expense okay knowing that we don't have folks come and go and we have to pay off specifically i know we do that so we do budget for these other testimonials thank you and on item b the hourly placement charter increasing hourly uh what's the percentage increase that we're talking about here roughly you want the 100 honest truth i have no idea i didn't put it together so i i couldn't answer that for you this alonzo unfortunately was a i'm not able to make that i believe starting salary was um 1458 and it's going to 17 dollars an hour starting for executive administration please mr mcgivern yes this is allen yes this is christ yes mr ross yes and i appreciate number nine report items approve on ratification of vouchers [Music] so before you deny you
015have payroll vouchers 23 and 24. paying your amount of 647 thousand one hundred six dollars and ten cents and you have expense vouchers nine zero four zero four nine zero four three totaling six hundred fifteen thousand five hundred seventy two dollars and thirty cents bring those to you tonight for your approvals we have a motion on the uh gratification doctors i'm going to approve a second discussion mr mcgivern yes this is alan yes mr kaiser yes mr australia yes all right thanks to the district financial report sir tonight before you you have the district finance report as of june 10th and the accompanying budget versus actual so i bring those to you tonight for your approvals of the district financial report the budget versus actually i'm going to approve the district finance report second is
016that a second yes okay okay discussion discussion on the district management i just want to make sure i understand a couple things um based on how i'm reading this we've got 335 000 of unencumbered funds in mmo 125 000 unspent funds in the in the classroom site fund 271 000 of uncommitted funds and food services 58 000 of uncommitted funds and gifts and donations and 244 000 of uncommitted funds in federal areas of titles one through four i idea and yes are two and three so based on what i see here we've got slightly over a million dollars of uncommitted funds that we're going to have at the end of the year is that correct so that as it is right now yes that is correct okay and then we've got another 75 000 that
017we just got in the 100 100-day in-person grant and does that include the extra 65 000 or so that we got from the governor for summer school no okay so that's another 57 000 or so that we got in excess of what we anticipate so we're talking about literally uh 1.1 million dollars of funds and i'm assuming carryover yes every single one of those and which is literally of the projected budget for next year we got well over a million dollars i have a quick question um is some of that um leftover funds and what you uh had budgeted in case whatever it was in march didn't go through so what you have left remaining in mmo that is that is part of what we had budget in case the aggregate limit did not there
018are some groups though that mr already brought up that are restricted funds food service funds can only be spent in food service gifts and donation funds can only be used for the specific purpose of that donation so to say that they're there is yes they are there but some of that is restricted as to how it can be spent i was under the impression though that we were spending all of the procterial load money it's because when that was put together we had not run payroll and we had not processed their performance banks so their performance pay is coming on this payroll which it would be reflective in the next um okay next round okay mr mcgibbon yes mr allen yes liz yes mr officer proof okay on to unfinished so we wanted to just
019have an open discussion on questions that the governing board may have we have had several um discussions on things that we know internally um our team did go to the actorship active shooter training a lot of them went and we still have some going in july so we're um wanting to just kind of hear from you and if you have any specific questions i know that um mr mayfair and mr grayson have worked extensively on our school safety plan in the past and i think we know i have a question for you since uh all the events um i have not heard from a parent or the community have you guys heard anything i've gotten some really minor things on facebook saying that they're going to email me they're putting together all of their thoughts
020so we've received i know one for sure dan but have we received two emails i think it's just the one just one one just also being very concerned wanting to be involved um wanting to know more about our school emergency plans we responded to that parent together mr boss and i basically explained i believe that you guys have heard we've talked about doing a study session prior at the beginning of school year that we kind of talked about are our school safety protocols um the parts that can be shared with the public there's obviously some parts for the safety of staff and students that we don't share with the general public but the parts that we can that we do share those with them and moving forward we also shared with that those individual parents
021that uh we do have an active committee that meets monthly to discuss school safety is their primary topic and what they can do and what we're constantly making changes um ms cuevas and i also sent out um with superintendent rico's permission a letter that she reviewed um to all of our parents i believe you guys received a copy of that too which kind of states some of things that we do that we continue to improve upon and make changes where mr ferguson i will be working later this summer on taking things that we've learned over the past school year not just the most recent event but things that you know i shared when i came back from the conference in january things that we're going to be implementing to make our school school safer our
022fire drill safer for everybody and those sorts of things so we'll be implementing that and retraining like we do every year giving school year new stuff and returning stuff one thing that i know we discussed is you notice that when you're outside and you have to be buzzed in well there's an intercom system that we need the front office to use that you push and they say who are you here to see so that we know that they're here to visit the teacher or visit what's their business here prior to letting them in because a lot of times what happens is they're busy on the phone and they just push the button and don't look up to see who's actually who they're actually buzzing in so we've talked about that so that we can work
023with our front office and then having them wait here in the lobby while we call the person that is you know if they're expecting them or not or before we send them back to the classroom we typically don't let parents go into the classrooms to see kids if they come drop something off then we deliver it so um that's one thing that we had talked about in terms of having to just be a little bit more vigilant of who comes in because once they come in if they are here for business around the school they do need to put in their driver's license and then that alerts us if that person has a felony or something we get a notification on our phone that says so-and-so is trying to come in and this is what
024it's stating and where we've come to the front to say um you know pull them aside or say you know we have we need you to wait a minute where we can check with our sro or see what's going on um so that's added safety but that's when they come in and our of the stuff they're very vigilant about making sure that you have your id um and they're like oh you have to do the car ball i'm sorry you're going to have to go get it because you can't come in without using that system and i know there's a lot of schools and districts who don't have that um and we're very fortunate i feel like it's definitely added security for our staff and students obviously we've had the obvious discussions about propping the
025doors open i mean when we with koben we were letting teachers open the doors to for ventilation purposes so we need to make sure we have mr curtis who we purposefully hired to be monitoring and doing rounds so that'll be something that we'll be expecting him to make sure doors are closed and not popped open as he goes around the school i i continue to have a lot of concerns on this that uvalde thing hit me pretty hard and i can't imagine what a member of this unified school the district governing board was thinking and feeling after that happened and i would imagine that they also have a lot of safety things that were in place um obviously some of them weren't being properly followed um but i i'm just wondering i've read some things
026about some very professional firms that conduct security audits um and there's just something that tells me that we need to make and take every single step that we can possibly take to make sure that we have anticipated everything that we could possibly anticipate and we put things in place here in continental uh with with an absolute high degree of due diligence and i just i think it's something that we really should consider i think we've got the money to pay for it although i don't have any clue as to what a comprehensive security audit would cost or who would be in the best position to do that but maybe it's something that we ought to put out for you if i may address that so we've actually had our physical campus and our procedures not
027only um looked at and automated by local law enforcement and state law enforcement as well as the fire department as well as we've had an audit done by the 80 they actually have a safety officers within the arizona department of education that come to our facility all of the things that we've done we've become a role model school in the state and presented because of the things we've done because of audits and the great thing about the people so we've had pima county squat we've had the state department bomb threat assessment team come in and do audits we've had the sheriff's department so the great thing about those is hey they're all local b those are the ones that are going to be responding so they know what our campus is next week i actually
028have scheduled for law enforcement both serena pd as well as pima county for all deputies um next week all deputies that serve in this area to come and do a walk through with me of our campus so that they know if we say that there's a threat in the cafeteria they know where the cafeteria is if we say there's a threat in the sixth grade hallway they know where that is and so that's it's been a little while since we've had all those audits i think this is a great time for us to reinvite them in the great thing about that is we do get that input from them of things that we can improve on um without spending a lot of money that goes away when those people get in their car and leave
029and just send you an audit these people are invested because their kids go to school here right it's their community they're going to be the ones responding i would much rather have them doing our audits than us spending thousands of dollars it's not hundreds but it's thousands of dollars to have someone come in that gets on a plane and leaves um if we're lucky there might be someone in the state but we do have resources the uh the trust the insurance company also has audits what i would like to do is like get four five six fold on it where we have over the next few months we have all these agencies come and do a current audit with our protocols um in place because then it's current um but it's also that the responding
030agencies would be my preference of course i'll if that's what we want to do i'll take the lead on that we'll uh find an agency that you are satisfied with but i'd like you to at least consider using local law enforcement that are trained in responding to these and looking for ways to breach buildings and do that where it doesn't cost money but we can i think get the same result but even to me it's those are the guys that are coming and their involvement in the i don't know the 14 years that have been involved in school safety that has been the biggest thing that i've gained is it's super important to build that bond with them and us so when they respond um like the the recent shooting in in texas um one
031of the staff members was apprehended um i want them to know who we are so if we're trying to help in this situation we aren't pushed to the ground we can help them access our campus so that they can remove that faster and we do that by those interactions allowing them on our campus so we know every deputy knows what our faces look like where our campus is and how to quickly move around it and so to add to that sarita pd has had they're they have had extra training on higher the right situations but they're um their training is a lot more extensive than many police departments and so you are getting a lot from from them they are very very experienced and knowledgeable in that situation and i've been talking with them like
032i said they're they're planning on coming next week we're still working on times because it's difficult for all their shifts to get everybody in but i told them all summer long if we have to i'll be here at midnight i'll be here at four in the morning whatever it takes to get every officer on their department and then moving forward with like any time they're training you to walk a new officer in both agencies um that part of their training would be to come to our campus they already do that for sarita pd for sarita police department but they don't always bring them here um and so that's something that we're already that is in the works but absolutely so that's just some of the great things that we've already got going on this summer
033that was actually in play before all this happened this isn't something that we just thought of in the last two weeks this is something that we've been working on and we'll continue to keep school safety in the forefront but i i'd love to whatever you as a board feel its best that's that's how we'll proceed we can do both it's but that's i just want to be sure that we've taken every step that we could possibly take steve you know i i thought about this a little bit at the eighth grade promotion and i think we do have some good security here at the front doors but during eighth grade promotion or the track beats or what those gates wide open and anybody and anybody could come in right but we also had security at
034the front as well so the front gate that was the only gate open during the promotion time was made by two staff members um one of them has been trained and received training and identifying threats and that's why that individual is positioned at that point during those events um so here's the thing about the sro he was here on campus he's around he's not necessarily a physician that the interesting thing about the pima county school resource officer program they're not actually employees of the district so in some states and some counties within our state actually they are so in phoenix some of the larger districts actually employ they work for a department but they pay like 85 of their salaries which means that their supervisors in the school have some say over what they're doing
035he has a supervisor that he reports to he does not report to any of us um but we obviously can reach out contact his supervisor if we have concerns but he was here on those days and he was was present he's willing to let coordinate with you yep and you'll notice her his supervisor's advice he's actually parked out on the road now um so that he's more visible to people instead of his car being shuffled in with the others in the parking lot he's now parking his car out there leaving it there and then coming into campus they actually the reason why the supervisor didn't is because they've noticed out-of-staters speed by our school very quickly because they're not familiar with schools here because we're a mile up from anything so that was the main
036reason but the second one is it's more visible for people that are pulling into the school but it is also to keep people following the laws that they're expected because although we're a very rural school then it's still a school zone right up there for about 200 yards so and he's a while ago they were getting their budget cut the sros yes right there back so so their their budget got cut if you remember was it a year ago shelley that we went through this dance with the sheriff's department um parents and school board members contacted wrote letters sent emails to the sheriff for pima county um i'm just going to throw you on the bus shelley was a big advocate that reached out as well and basically said this is acceptable because they were
037short deputies they took ours completely from us um within a week we received that back after our community support um that happened to us cuevas was at three months ago approximately three months ago i got notified and i didn't tell you about this yet um but the supervisor wanted to meet with me and that's strange because usually they don't come and meet in person he showed up here with his deputy and we had a conversation he said they're short free sros because our school has a really good safety emergency plan and low disciplinary issues we're the school that's losing ours and he's going to be covering four or five other schools um unique situations sitting there in my office uh there's a knock on my door i invited students in we're sitting there having this
038conversation that's a student that was going through the restorative practices that we've talked about up here he was finishing it was his last day before he got full access back to the classroom having made a poor previous decision and the students out there deputy islas and i asked him questions working in teams and the student really understood the importance to respect staff and students on campus he expressed that verbally to both of us as we ask those questions he answered them perfectly and we said okay catch the bus have a good weekend we'll see you monday and off you win immediately the supervisor apologized for being there and said this is wrong with what we're doing you guys have got it right and we continue to try to punish you because you have low discipline
039because you mentor with your sro which is exactly what the program's supposed to be it's not supposed to be them arresting students it's supposed to be the mentoring and building positive relationships and so at six o'clock that i received a phone call from our sro and said i am now and we did share him with uh two other schools so there were three total and he said as of right now i am your only school and so per that meeting that was supposed to be taken away from for when i say permanently for the remainder of the school year and reassess based off of their um how many sros they have but so we had him full time further those three months for the remainder of the school year so like i said we're trying
040to do it right sir and to be honest you know can i give you a guarantee that something doesn't go right no i can't but i can guarantee you um i spent weekly you know hourless weekly nights thinking about this stuff and doing my absolute best to make sure that not only all of our students but myself and my students and our staff are are safe i go to conferences at least one to two a year specifically on school safety um i've been asked to present because of the things we've done here we are we are in a good place but that's not a guarantee that something can't happen and there's always room for improvement and that's what we're pushing and striving to do each and every day and so we'll continue to to give
041that guarantee that school safety is for kids to feel to be able to learn they have to feel safe and protected otherwise if they don't their environment their learning is not going to be as effective and so given this situations our society has presented it's our jobs as administrators and teachers to rise to dedication to assure them that this is the safest possible for us to make so our plan in july will be to expect to see some of the results of the security audit or what changes we're making or what additional phones or i mean we've also asked albert to look into cameras to see where our blind spots are and where we need to maybe increase funding for cameras in the school and we're also brainstorming on the pod areas because we usually
042leave one door open for kids who come and go from different specials or into the classroom so we need to look at how we can secure those doors as well can i add to your camera yes comment real quick um in the past albert has uh our iep director has helped us get some cameras um what's really great about those and this is also a hurdle that we just were able to do our older cameras are not remote but our newer cameras are so we've got two systems in place the law enforcement now has access and that's up and functioning right now where they can pull up and look our sro but also his supervisor so if there is an event they have access remotely so when they're in route their supervisor in the office
043can be telling them you know what they're seeing um and those sorts of things so that's a huge advantage that helps them in the response because then they're also giving visual ids of whatever the roof raft is that is chosen to come to school and also helps them narrow down locations which is live feed to the sheriff's department which is a huge thing that we actually were able to set up last week and all of our camera feeds have the location stamp on them and that's something we're looking to increase that type of camera throughout campus like i said we're kind of it's one of those digital things right that wasn't available when we started this back 13 14 years ago and now it's improving so we're switching those cameras out as they go back
044and try and improve it and get more visibility throughout the campus well it sounds like too that the state and the feds are going to start kicking down some funding for more secure schools based on our discussion in the executive session to approve the superintendent evaluation performance aid as a groupon so discussion please mr mcgivern yes this is alan yes mrs yes mr hospital crew i appreciate thank you next one is just a discussion on the climate survey 2122. okay hopefully you've had a chance to review the climate surveys um we had 41 responses from staff 102 responses from our parents and 330 student responses so almost 50 of our students and 41 of our staff as we're talking about safe and organizing is interesting because our parents feel 90 of our parents indicated that
045they feel our that we provide a safe and orderly environment students on the other hand were at and they feel that there's adequate supervision at 70 our teachers um response was 75 so they're relative there um when we talk about our book excuse me our teachers our students they 63 felt safe and then there's the question about that they trust their teachers and that student response was 64 but the students did respond that they feel that there's adequate supervision so as we as a leadership team start to look at the data what i was so proud of is the fact that there's 18 pages of comments from the student end and we've really worked hard to let them know that we want we need their input they're the eyes and ears of what's going on
046in the classroom and working at building student agency and when you read their feedback they're very specific on what they like and what they think needs to change which is very nice because what we do is we bring the data back to them during our student advisory and we talk about it and we bring the data to the teachers as well and say look at the discrepancy between what the teachers believe versus what the students believe and what the parents are saying because our goal is obviously to have them all in agreement and in alignment with what we're doing in terms of curriculum safety emotional well-being and the safe and armedness of our school so what we'll do is come back to the board we'll discuss it it's always on our board governing board agenda
047for our retreat to also identify some things that you've noticed and things that maybe we need to highlight and focus on overall when you look at teacher satisfaction was you know 56 anywhere from 50 to 60 in different areas and obviously there's a lot of things that we can do as a leadership team to improve that with teachers um but again i was very pleased that the students actually took the time to tell us about what's going on and what they feel needs to change so we will um follow up with whatever in comparison to last year did they like the school lunches um you know that was interesting that's their big thing is they don't like the school lunches so i think last year i think we had a better response in what they
048were wanting but if you notice they want choices so a lot of the comments where we want choices we don't just want and um and i don't know if the other middle schools have choices for kids or if they're hearing it from somewhere but when i was a kid when we may do this like a hamburger was always an option and then whatever the day was so if they didn't like that they could at least have it right so that'll be something we'll be meeting with food service on because we share it with the departments as well look forward to discussion of the fort retreat yes thank you that we will talk about the arizona academic standards assessment so you have the attached uh data that we provided which you've all seen and we've discussed
049in executive session um you will be hearing more from um this is cuevas and um in our future meetings for july and august on how we roll out the data and the information for the teachers and what instructional decisions we've made in terms of reteaching the bridge for our students i had to meet a 301 plan this is an action item we're looking for a motion to approve the 301 plan for next year 22-23 i think it's fine the only thing that i wish the committee would think about is distinguishing on the performance pay between proficient and highly proficient teachers i i still am convinced we need to be better really rewarding excellent teachers and right now a teacher that's graded as highly proficient is getting the same thrill money 301 money is one that's
050great and just as proficient my only comment real call please mr mcgivern yeah mrs allen yes mr skies yes mr rashford yes next is the uh to approve next year's calendar i believe it was just modified attached in the last to tuesday's second semester this is an action item so we'll need a vote on the word count i'm going to approve the governing board calendar next year second things right here this is not my skill set okay who made the motion calendar okay i'll tell you i said all right mr mcgivin yes this is allen yes mr skies yes mr ashley yes all right now for the fun part to read the policy advisory item so this is first read so what we will do um and being that we are going to have a
051new executive administrative assistant will plan for second read in july and then we can submit them to asda what i can do is at our board retreat i can let you know what we're doing and what changes are in that policy that's right to be sent to us but most of them as i've reviewed them are not um there aren't any major changes to the policies that we have they went back and forth with the mass mandate and we may have noticed that in some of those but we can move further at our government before you suggest that we take action or postpone no no it's just discussion because it's first readings um are these available on the website yes you're going to want to let me approve the first room i move to approve
052the first rate of the policy advisory second one mr mcgivern mrs allen yep this is now more first reading of advisory 680-711 looks like this is just some re-numbering i'll make a motion to approve policy advisory 680-711 a second discussion okay sir mr mcgivern yeah alan so this is the budget um we budgeted with a one percent increase in our adm over last year um if you one thing that was a big change this year versus previous years we learned that the three sideways okay so you see our mno override increased dramatically over the previous year um the emino override page are you on this would be page seven so it's up roughly 400 000 over the previous year so our maintenance operations um override is based off of a 14 of whatever our revenue
053control limit is our revenue control limit went up over a million dollars versus the previous year so that's why that figure is much much higher you can also see where we took money from our maintenance and operation in the amount of 141 195 budget move that into our capital that way our capital budget would have a budget of 550 000 versus the 436 that it was going to be so we moved that on over if you i'm sorry coming back up here to page one of the actual budget i apologize for all the flipping you can see all the different categories where we have budgeted funds for the upcoming school year our budget this year versus last year is roughly 491 000 more than this year now please remember we are using forms that are
054based off of this school year's allotments the state still has not passed a budget for the upcoming school year once those are done we will update the forms with the new amounts and once once we bring you the hopefully it'll be done before we have to issue out the adopted budget um and that'll be our july board meeting um i'm pretty sure the state has to pass a budget by june 30th i'm pretty sure they are locked into law to have that done by then so we should have budget forms at the worst case scenario within the first couple of days of july so that'll give us roughly five six days to be able to put together a brand new budget for the for the actual adopted um i apologize for not being able to
055get this out to you any sooner but this this was was released last friday or the friday before and we had about three days of quickly able to put this together fortunately i was able to do about four days worth of work prior to the sheets coming out so that i could get everything within our accounting system and then adjust from there so does anybody have any questions whatsoever on our proposed budget for the upcoming school year first of all we need a motion first we're going to do that motion to approve knobs i moved to approve the proposed budget last year one second the discussion yeah i'm not so sure i understand the imminent override situation okay um in essence uh our tax rates were going up um i mean the eminent override was
056what was 14 to 1.226 i mean that that's significant it's an additional eight cents basically more than liked out every dollar we saved the taxpayers on the bond refinance i understand if the revenue control limit is up by a million dollars but why does that increase the override from 14 to 22 because when housing values go up the amount that the state pays goes down so that the taxpayer has to make up that difference so if if it was conversely four houses with housing values going down you know we increased over 40 million dollars in value in property over the previous year so that's going to give us an increase to our tax base but unfortunately as a donor district we won't give most of that away as i have this budget right now i
057don't have anything going back okay um i've got a few more for somebody else [Music] um on the illinois overall increase in salaries is around four percent yet in the regular regular education the top half of that mlo budget i've got benefits going up 42 percent over the budget this year how can salaries go up four but benefits going 42. so if you remember when we did this last year this is where the any contingency funds are placed why funds because there is no other place i mean i can put them anywhere on here and you're going to ask me the same question about why is this category in the interest of transparencies though greg i think we need to be able to show a budget as to where the monies are and if we
058need to set up a reserve budget i believe the school district can establish a reserve budget and and place money in there as a reserve for contingencies that we don't anticipate right now so i am limited to what is here i cannot i cannot just take 200 000 out of my budget and put it somewhere else and i i have to budget this number down here and what is it so we we can't add line items no yeah we do have reserves that's why we place it in places like this that way we know where it's at and that's kind of the public the public doesn't know where it is what would be a better line item to put the reserve item in that would make it more transparent and we can footnote the document
059so that we know that we've got that just in an effort to be more transparent because when someone looks at it just like mr ollery has and sees a 42 increase in benefits it begs the question so where can we put that maybe other programs i don't have my glasses on but it seems to me that i saw something something that had a zero value and then we can footnote it it can only go in like aren't aren't some online items like once you put the money in it that's it no no everything any anything is interchangeable okay do you have a line that we don't use there's the others so it is in a line item within benefits that we don't use okay so that's why it's that's why it's there and if if
060you want to know exactly where it is it's an under employee dental we don't pay for employee dental so that's where all those funds are so that's so misleading it's not necessarily like that i don't understand how you think it is you're just gonna have to explain how you think it's misleading because okay so put it in dental benefits we don't pay dental benefits we don't annotate what it is so we've got a big chunk of change that nobody knows why or where it came from or what it goes to okay so how is that different then if i put it under 2 900 we can annotate it and say this is what it is it's a reserved contingency so what i can do in future budgets is under on the very front page where
061we talk about average teacher salaries i can put an asterisk in there because i can't put an asterisk on within the document because it won't the the formulas won't work with an action i can put a comment in here this is about the only place i can think of i can even put something and say that there are contingency funds in the amount of x located under one thousand sixty two hundred why can't you put the their contingency funds are in other i can put them wherever okay i just keep them in sixty two hundred because that's another other means is for something other than devil well actually that other is more like dues and fees travel hotels so it's not really really unused so using an unused box yeah yeah so it but there's
062nothing in there right now so you could put it there and then and then put a footnote on page one that's saying under this line item whatever the amount is it's like 200 somewhat thousand dollars 287 000 is a reserved for contingencies i could yes okay i think that would be at least transparent and i can put that on when we go with the adobe budget i would be more than happy to do that as far as the actual pages go these are all locked by ade in the auditor general's office so i can't add anything to that page okay page three on classroom site fund obviously significantly down 738 thousand down to 483 000. i mean that concerns me um if we divided that up by our certified teachers every teacher would take about
063a 4 000 haircut over what they received this year which in essence wipes out salary increases our teachers will make more overall next year than they did last year okay so if you remember when we put together last year's budget we talked about how remember we still had those free buckets of customers like fun money right each one had over a hundred thousand dollars in it yeah okay that money doesn't do me no good sitting in that account it needs to be in teachers pockets that is why the previous year was over 700 000 right and this year the budget's 400. not only that but the amount for weighted student account went down 25 dollars as well it went down from 738 to 703 i believe so but they are going to make less they
064are going to make less but they made a lot this year i understand but that but that lot last year is based on having over 300 000 sitting in the fund that hadn't been used [Music] i also just noticed that the 2022 expenditures um for the classroom site fund don't trap with the district financial report okay so what's not tracking because i didn't i don't look at the this says on on page three it says here fiscal year 2022 actual expenditures for budget adoption use actual expenditures uh to date plus estimated expenditures through the fiscal year end uh 728 thousand one hundred dollars and yet the the csf on the district financial report shows something like 631 or something like that so this was all prepared prior to friday okay we ran payroll today which
065will take out that extra money which is why it is the anticipated expenditures for the printer of the year so that's why that's not going to attract yes it's all income well that that 613 included in convert csf funds or 631 or something like that under the district financial report let me look into it a little bit more deeply and i'd be more happy i appreciate that um and then the only other thing i just noticed on here is that it's probably a typo right if you go to the summary page one find it on here at the top under budgeted expenditures and budget limits you see what i'm looking at you've got the same amount in budget budgeted expenditures and budget limits for both the classroom site fund and unrestricted capital athlete fund yes
066that is correct we budget to that limit so the budget expenditure is the same as the budget limit yes so if you look at the very first page of the document yeah okay it'll tell you budgeted the available budget okay budgeted expenditures those two numbers correctly thank you not a problem always enjoy your questions anyway any reason to give some donations has gone down so much to be honest we didn't have a whole lot that came in as far as gifts and donations we had more in tax credit come in it seemed like than we had within a regular donation um also remember that we did have some donations that came in i believe we got like five thousand dollars for for computers from one organization we got another 8 500 from another organization so
067you know there's 13 000 right there and just give some donations towards technology that we didn't receive this year okay anyone else broke off please mr mcgivern yes mrs allen yes mr skies yes mr ashford gordon school of ads okay i'd like to um as we looked at our pre-service day schedule we'd like to move the governing board breakfast to thursday august 4th instead of august 1st if that's okay and we're reflected in our july 4th as well and remember the retreat is july 8th from 1 to 5 location to eat awesome would you like to have it here any preference do you want to go to la fasada do you want to stay here do you want to go to the experimental range for the retreat yes for our governing body that was not
068so good it was nice it's just far and dusty is it a gravel road it's dirt when it's right with you i know that's what i said your driveway is very dusty it's four miles so i mean it was nice for us to be able to be off campus and not be interrupted yeah um but when we're here typically we don't get interruptions like we do when we're christmas but if you want to change this scenario then we can go back to maplestaba or we can stay here i don't care you know the omni has a really nice college where do you stay here august 1st uh future agenda items we added this in case any numbers want to add something in the future to the agenda anyone join once or twice okay discussion we'll
069do as normal we'll start again with and we move our way down if anybody has any information and discussion well i think that we should all be very happy about the test scores and they overall look good and then we should also celebrate that in fact the budget does have to be passed by june 30th and uh so you'll be able to get that done before the july and before i have to have surgery well definitely before your surgery i can come in and finish it for you i'll use crayons um i want to congratulate joe ferguson i'm a huge fan congratulations on your new endeavor i think you're going to do great reading over the climate surveys it seems you are going to get a very warm welcome from the teachers um i know
070they're all looking forward to it it's a little bittersweet um our jazz fan and orchestra and all of that are going to be pretty sad you've got uh whoever comes in she's gonna have to choose to go in our music department thank you for what you've done in our music department and good luck thank you i will let go what mrs allen said however i think we should have had a requirement in there that you had to find a very very talented successor before you were able to move on to the connection um yeah just on that one grant that we got um we asked for roxanna we wrote most of them we asked for nine grand correct me from wrong and we got 65 000. that was the one for the summer school to
071try to i guess part of the goal was it to help kids recover from the code shortfalls um and we splunked it around part of the thing was to entice kids to come so the roxanna had the idea of friday funday hence the trip to the pima parents base the zoo et cetera and it sounds like it's working if you're getting close to 100 kids in summer school um i don't know what haven't had years past but that was a pretty cool surprise to get so what this will do it would because we did budget entitled federal funds for summer school to pay teachers so what this will help us do is journal entry those teachers from this grant and then it'll free up title funds for us in the school year to do more
072curriculum planning and collaborating with teachers or whatever you need with that we probably have some stuff to sign up it is
