006young men and women ladies and gentlemen terry barnes principal of augusta ranch elementary so this is the augusta ranch principles academy for students in fifth and sixth grade here's what that is the principal's academy mission is to help and serve others 76 students came together each month for lunch training and then an hour of community service after school students show dedication and leadership in helping others in our community projects included making over a hundred toys over 50 blankets for the friends for life animal shelter and collecting over four thousand pounds of food for a food drive and making over 260 detergent bags for ronald mcdonald house they also made valentine cards for the elderly in partnership with the mesa public library ladies and gentlemen here are some of our representatives from augusta ranch if you
007guys could come up i'll let you introduce your kids well i didn't want to say i'm the proud principal of augusta ranch but i am even more proud of principals academy so each month as we came together to do our service they out-did each other the next month so when we set our goals they you know bypassed it and went way past it each time so for example when we did the canned food drive we said if we can just get a thousand pounds of food that's amazing so 3 500 pounds later here we are so i'm so proud of the group and not only is it giving back to the community but last week we had our final meeting and we gave out certificates and medals and we all ate a lot of cake
008but i asked the students i said what does principals academy mean to you what have you learned how has it impacted you and their answers were unbelievable so i had you know 76 of them to read through but the teamwork and learning the leadership and being able to have a single focus and mission that we all work towards um so i could not be more proud of this group of kids i have madeline morton and she's going to say a few words i have kyran crawford josh hanseker cam cameron cosaha dale francisco so again as we're asking kids what does it mean to you well you can hear all night from me but you really should hear from the kids so madeline what does principal academy mean to you come over here the start of
009principles academy i thought that um i thought that you could just get the most joy out of receiving and not like giving but i soon found out that you don't just have to receive gifts you can give and just give back to the community because what other people have done for us sometimes we need to give back to them but some people don't think about that and i'm really sad that principles academy is ending but i'm also looking forward to the many students who are going to be enjoying it further on so thanks again to a really great group of kids i know my fifth grader said don't bring me up there don't make me say anything and here you are um so we're going to go ahead and just close with the photo up
010i don't want to put anybody else on the spot unless you're like i want to say something you do want to say something come here okay josh meant a lot to me first of all it's because it taught me to be a real nice person also it gave me the opportunity to help people that really needed it also for next year uh the kids that are gonna do it i hope they like it and they will be giving back to the community and my favorite activity in principles academy was a dog treats because then we got to give back to the dogs and get them blankets so they would be warm in the night [Applause] you guys would shake hands with the governing board that'd be great and then stay for a photo one more

018action during the open call the board requests that speakers refrain from voicing complaints against school personnel or any person connected with the district as it may impact due process rights policy k-e k-e-b and k-e-d are provided by the board for disposition of legitimate complaints including those involving individuals forms required for use of these policies can be obtained from the gilbert public schools website wonderful we are glad to welcome our public here who have requested to speak we have six requests to speak and we have two who have made mention that they were not here to speak but to support those who are speaking and we will begin i will come up a couple at a time so you'll know first we have mr scott glover and he is speaking to agenda item 8.01 good evening
019governing board and members of the superintendency i have waited like 20 years for this um my name is scott glover i started teaching in gilbert in 1996 and i met my future wife shortly afterwards she's be she began teaching here in 1994 and i think about 1995-96 is when policy gbea item 8.01 on your agenda was revised or rewritten it did not allow for two staff members at a school to be married they could date they could be engaged they could be divorced but committed in marriage to one another was and is a no-no there were a few couples that were grandfathered in way back then and i think almost all of them are still together some are still working for gps which kind of goes to show you that it was a solution to
020a problem that didn't really exist i remember talking to paul houston way back then because carrie and i would have enjoyed being on the same campus and we would have spent even more time on that campus to the benefit of the camp of the students and the campus but uh mr houston who i admire to this day made it clear that the policy was not wasn't going to change and so i'm glad an update is finally being considered and so i just want to speak to encourage you to support the first and second read and hopefully a subsequent passage of this update to an antiquated uh puritanical policy especially though at a time when i really fear the general effects this culture war on teachers is having upon teacher retention and job satisfaction we should
021be asking for ways to support and to help keep teachers around and this is one such way and i i'm glad to see it i thought it was a silly and arcane policy back then and uh while carrie and i will probably never work on the same campus other married couples or parents and children might so i ask you to please support item 8.01 policy gbea as it moves forward and if you have any questions i'm not hard to find carrie either just not on the same campus but i also wanted to end by saying thank you and thank you sincerely for your service to american public education one of the great cornerstones of our democracy thank you mr glover we have and i've neglected to say we'll have three minutes for each speaker so
022thank you for that our next speaker will be commodore man and then kevin turnage evening i'm commodore mann i am the assistant to technical sergeant shanti um so i overhear a lot of what goes on in rotc and governing boards and her personal life um i'm mainly here to basically freestyle speech um i just want to know why um this new master sergeant is coming in is giving special treatment because he has been pestering uh sergeant shaney and major heim about information that he should already know because he was a former instructor at campo verde many years ago in fact he was major heim's first year major heim's first year was his last year at campo and i know he's a friend of yours um shane mccord so i just want to know why he's
023getting special treatment and why he's saying he's getting you know a special deal of money when all me and sunshine have been fighting for is you know a just stipend and no more contract changes i don't understand it i think it's unjust and just shows that you don't keep stay true to your word um i just don't understand it on a personal level now me talking here doesn't really do much for me anymore i'm a senior i leave in two months for marine corps boot camp but i'll still fight for this program even when i'm in the marine corps whether i be you know 100 000 miles away i'll still fight for it while they're starting standing there or not makes no difference to me that's all i gotta say thank you kevin turnage then
024miracle turnage good evening board members my name as you're probably already aware is kevin turnage i'm actually the honorable kevin turning so we'll just set the record straight um i started not to even speak tonight because my anger is out of control i find it amazing that you started this meeting today with the pledge of allegiance and these young students this and the principles that these students talked about from george washington and the photographer to your pledge of allegiance there's nothing left for these principles after june elementary school and junior high when you get to high school and you're trying to get rid and you can say you're not trying to get rid of the program all you want um it's become cronyism nepotism whatever you want to call it to where we have a
025board that isn't doing what it should do isn't making sure that our kids get taught those principles that are in the pledge of allegiance that that young man talked about and y'all could probably take a few lessons from those young elementary school students the amount of discrimination by the way of that favoritism cronyism and nepotism that happens within this district would put the united states merit system protection board in a tail spin for the amount of prohibited personnel practices committed not to mention the amount of discrimination committed by this school district only a crackdown on these abuses will allow this district to be able to restore the community's faith in the district i do remind all of you that five cfr 2635.702 exhibit explicitly prohibits the use of public office for private gain or endorsement
026of private gain for any product service or enterprise or for the private gain of friends family relatives or persons with whom employees are affiliated i have to ask about how it is that the close friend of one of the members here tonight is being hired specifically for a position and his wife works for the wife of this friend i wonder just how this board can blatantly continue backhanded tactics and ignore memorandums of agreement which you're supposed to discuss in 7.04 this evening you don't follow or make the schools follow the moa that they have so i'm not quite sure why thank you mr turner we appreciate your thoughts our next speaker will be miracle trinity and then following will be melissa gallaris i i hope that i said that correctly thank you good evening board
027members i'm sure you're already aware of my name but in case you forgot i'm miracle turnage a sophomore at gilbert high and i'm here on the behalf of afgrotc tonight i'd like to focus on a different point than my prior statements that more students can relate to about how this school is leaving students who do not academically excel and those who are not college bound in the dust whilst focusing on the very small population of students who excel and plan to attend college gilbert high school has implemented and poured countless of hours and dollars into promoting promoting and implementing the ib program as well as a brand new accelerated middle school are these great programs yes i will not argue are they really what ghs needs no they aren't since all this district seems to
028care about his numbers here you go as of december 2021 only 50 percent of graduates immediately enrolled in college and that number is expected to drop to put this statistic in a more of a personal level of about 460 seniors this year only about 258 of those students will obtain a college degree let's be real this day and age many make more money quicker through tech schools for electricians welding automotive or even you know the military than through a bachelor's degree are we taught this absolutely not we are taught that the only way you can ever do well for yourself is through a college education my question is why are we pushing and pouring so much money into these programs when one only 39 percent of students are mathematically proficient at gilbert high and only
02935 percent of students are proficient in reading i'll give gilbert high the benefit of the doubt in the fact that we have a 90 graduation rate but does that really matter when over 60 percent of the students can't even meet proficiency in math and reading why are the students who are really needing the help not receiving it why is it that small population of students getting so much attention is it because we're supposed to be the flagship high school and we're ranked fifth out of seven not only that why are the programs who provide students with other routes for life other than college targeted like kfjrotc we teach students how to be leaders in any and every aspect of life to explore some standards and ideas of the military to see if it could be
030a future for them and on the topic of career readiness afgrotc is one of the best places you could be we offer a cte credit and test mind you that this district declined to make this a weighted class and as a program we offer routes to many scholarships the j-100 and any armed forces rotc scholarships and many more throughout az941 that we are aware of over twenty thousand dollars in scholarships have been awarded so since college readiness is so important to the school and district why are we being targeted why are the students who don't excel and plan to attend college targeted alongside these programs why is this tiny population of the schools so praised when you aren't even attempting to help those in needs how can you say a relationship with students means so
031much to this district when you can't even do the bare minimum for more than 60 percent of your students thank you miracle now we have melissa gallares and then chris tony good evening board my name is melissa galliars and this is my son cadet gibson goliaris as well as cadet miracle turnage i have two kids in the gilbert public schools my kids have been in the school district since kindergarten so that's roughly around 10 years this is only my second board meeting i have ever attended in person and both times now i'm discussing the same issue tonight i'm here once again in support of our jrotc program at gilbert high i'm also here because things really need to change last meeting we were told that all support that you all support the program but we
032need the numbers as well as an instructor to keep going i will have to say surprisingly the day after the last board meeting someone fixed the registration issues and opened registration to those that wanted to enroll in the program but was that a little too late those that weren't able to register properly chose another elective by then i'm sure other than that nothing else for the program has changed and that's why i'm here once again last meeting you talked about in order to have a program we need to have an instructor we have an instructor our instructor technical sergeant amy shanti is amazing and works day in and day out not only for our children or the school but as well as for our community she puts in tireless hours devoting all her time and
033energy into this program she has worked as one person this past year in a two-person role she gives and gives that being said she works in a hostile work environment where the principal and the administration shows zero support for her and our program she can't even run the program the way it's supposed to be run the way the air force regulates there is no appreciation for all the countless hours she puts in as well as the service these cadets do for the school we also pretty much have to beg to be put on the marquee the tvs at the school social media after any tournaments there are no trophies displayed in any of the school hallways this is why we have brought just a few trophies tonight of what we've actually won this year why
034should we pretty much have to beg to be put on the marquee to make the principal's newsletter announcement which up until this point only happened this last week i'm i'm sure due to this meeting coming up we competed in nationals earlier this month and did amazing and i know you mentioned that tonight but i had already written my speech and it's been almost a month so um not once did the administration or principal ask how we did or congratulate us when we returned my son cadet galliaris was part of a two-person team that took first place at nationals he also received second in solo second and four person was part of an armed reg and exhibition team that received third and fifth place our school overall plays fifth out of 31 schools in the nation
035you would think our school school would be super proud of this and display it any way they could so tonight i ask you to look into the administration and principal at our school and figure out a way for them to support our program our instructor and our cadets also having an appreciation for all thank you thank you appreciate that and finally we have chris tony if you wouldn't mind rotating the camera around to the table at the back of the room as you can see we did bring a few trophies these are from this school year alone there are several cases shelves and racks that hold the remainder and including a desk as well they're out of sight of most of the school population now these trophies signify not only hard work and dedication but
036are a recruitment tool in and of themselves many students might have an interest in enrolling in the program if they could see just how successful this team is one does not need to know how to throw a perfect spiral shoot a basket or throw a fastball to be included in a program that repeatedly demonstrates success now i am very proud to say that one of these belongs to my son jason who picked up a rifle for the first time almost halfway through the school year through countless hours of hard work and the mentorship of his fellow cadets who did not shun him for his initial attempts to emulate what they were doing he finally felt ready to compete at the alhambra state drill meet where he placed fourth although he did not bring a trophy
037back from that meet his place within the solo exhibition group was solidified just two weeks later after numerous more hours of practice and further mentoring from his fellow cadets at the rocky mountain national meet he placed fifth and did bring back a trophy this combined with the hard work of the rest of the corps and the various events that were required for the overall ranking at the meet brought fifth place in a national competition back to gilbert high i would like to add that following the solo performances a world champion in the same event they were competing in took time to come and congratulate them on how they presented themselves on the drill pad this sense of community and teamwork within this group of high school students is the reason why this program needs to
038stay at be kept at the school at any cost please help us to ensure that the administration at gilbert high treats sergeant shanti in a manner consistent with the other coaches that enrollment numbers are allowed to be bolstered by bringing back the fifth class period and restoring the pay structure that all of the other coaches are receiving technical sergeant shandy has repeatedly stated it's not the students that are driving her away it is the way she is treated by the administration in the district i can think of no other person that i would want to be there as a teacher coach and mentor for my son than her thank you that concludes our request to speak to the governing board we will now move on to 6.0 reports and begin with 6.01 fy 2022 monthly
039financial report and third quarter financial report ended march 31st 2022 dr mccord thank you madam president governing board members tonight we have this bonnie betts our assistant soup of business services giving you the 2022 financial report monthly finance report in third curve third quarter financial report ending march 31st 2022 good evening president wood dr mccord governing board members so this is our monthly report but in addition march 31st ends our third quarter so we've added a couple of slides to provide you some comparative information of last fiscal year in comparison to the current fiscal year okay i just checked it i really did okay we will start with our normal operating funds which is generally the the funds that we have the most flexibility to spend federal funds is a quick summary in state funds
040there's a quick summary and then the final grouping of slides is about the third quarter financial results with comparative data from a year ago so this is our our operating fund grid you can see that our revised budget number three pending figure has gone up by about a half a million dollars this is due to additional weighted student counts in addition we did see a small decrease in the amount encumbered due to paying off several purchase orders so you can see our available balance is just under 50 million dollars note the e-rate and the school plant funds as well as the energy and water savings funds have been updated reflecting revised budget number three pending the school plant fund note the 7.5 million dollars representing the posting of the sale of neely proceeds finally the
041energy and water savings was also showing a negative at the last presentation a negative available balance so we've corrected that budget as well in the revised budget number three pending please know that the revised budget number three pending is even though it's very late and we're actually going to present the revised number three to you next tuesday but today we received updated data regarding our student accounts and our weighted student accounts so the new pending budget for your approval next tuesday night will be different than these figures as well so under the federal funds detail i just wanted to show you the 100th day in person grant which we just received our allocation of 3.9 million dollars we are working to determine how best to spend that money and it is the most constrained of
042all of the federal funds so we will be um deliberating over uh how to spend those dollars in the next leadership meeting the application is due may 6th and the money must be spent by may 1st of 2023 so we have less than a year to spend the monies and then we just are sharing the sr3 monies and the education plus up grant as well all those are the federal cares act monies and then other federal projects just wanted to point out that we did add the summer school grant from the governor's office which we will be expending this summer for all of our summer school programs throughout gilbert public schools but where was that where was this within the it's within the other federal projects amount so you can see the revised budget number
043two is five hundred and forty thousand and it increased by about six hundred thousand dollars due to that grant okay thank you [Music] and then the state funds just wanted to share the college credit exam incentive we did receive the dollars for that and we will be paying that out the first payment in may to all those that have earned the bonus for um students passing the advanced placement or ib testing throughout gilbert public schools and then finally other funds details we'd like to point out the advanced placement summer institute this is due for gilbert public schools the in the for this summer and due to the efforts of the community education department as well as mr jared ryan we are bringing the advanced placement summer institute to govern public schools this is considered an
044enterprise and to date we have over 110 participants signed up and we're looking forward to a positive summer experience for our advanced placement teachers those that are within goa public schools as well as those that are joining us from other school districts in the state of arizona so we're excited about that and that's all i have for the monthly financial so before i go to the quarterly financials are there any questions about anything i've shared on the month-to-month data okay great so this is the third quarter financial report please keep in mind that where whenever we present the monthlies we present the various grouping of funds federal state and operating as we are sharing the quarterly financials we are focusing on what we consider the general fund or operating funds so this is just looking
045at this first grid this is our operating funds detail so that's that's grouping all of these funds together and providing some analysis and comparing them to what was going on a year ago so first revenues so this this pie chart just basically shows how the distribution of our available resources occurs by funding source so whether local so these are taxpayer property taxpayers county county assistance the state and then of course the federal dollars so please note that the federal dollar amounts here include e-rate and medicaid so that's why they're included those are very flexible funds that's why they're included on the operating funds and that in the federal grid so interestingly as time has gone on the last probably 25 years the movement between the proportion of state and local has continued to move to
046the state general fund continuing to put more and more pressure on the state general fund prior to that time the distribution 52 percent 42 was reversed where most of the funding for education was coming from the local taxpayer so these are the revenues based on on source uh bit by source in comparing year over year so you can see the difference in the revenues the total 300 million versus 264 million in the prior year and then you can see that the state monies the 131 million expected versus 157.6 million expected is related to the base level amount increase as well as student counts associated with our school finance formula so again in addition the classroom site fund please note that the classroom site fund is included in the general fund or operating fund details so
047recall that prior to last year or going into the 2022 year the classroom site fund revenue was increased from about 500 or 430 dollars per student up to 733 dollars per student so this grid is reflecting that as well so then this is the quarter operating revenue by fund as you would expect most of the revenue is going into the maintenance and operations fund and you can see the classroom site fund is 13.7 million as well which is significant capital is a small amount at one percent please know that this is revenue received to date that's been posted to date does not reflect the amount expected so um this is the year-over-year ex comparison by fund again if you look at maintenance and operations a year ago it was a total of 229 million expected
048in comparison to 246 million so that again is due to the base level amount and additional student counts so recall that in the current year we gained over a thousand new student counts reflecting much of those of those monies please note too that we are looking at revenues here not budget so these dollar figures only are expressing the amount of new money received and do not at all consider the budget balance carry forward so these are new revenues that we're seeing year over year before i go on to the expenditures are there any questions here i'll just ask so the capital it looks like last year it was similar that there was only a small percentage received at this point in the year so is that that's typical and it's not intended to be typical
049so these are one of the areas in which we're improving over time generally speaking we would want to make sure that the county knows how we would like the revenue split between maintenance and operations and capital and so we're just behind on posting the revenues to unrestricted capital okay instead of mnl so that's going to be fixed in the next for the next um presentation so we do have the money here we just haven't posted it that's correct okay thank you so these are the details so it was 425 to 730 733 per weighted student account that was the increase and then the other revenue of course is just consolidated but it does include the medicaid e-rate and the other smaller funds to include school plan so expenditures this is our grid showing the operating
050expenditures by object again you can see that 84 of our spend throughout all these operating funds is in salaries and benefits which we have we have seen predominantly over the last few years anyway that it's been hovering between 84 and 86 operating and then capital as well and you can see that in this particular grid we showed one million dollars of revenue in capital but we've actually spent 12.4 million dollars in capital so it reflects the unbalance of the cash to the spend in the industry capital fund which again we will be correcting um this week so this is the year-over-year comparison of expenditure by object so if you go way over to the right you can see where our expected spend year over year has has changed relatively flat but you can see when
051you look at salaries and benefits that it's a clear increase uh the 171.9 million dollars expected a year ago at this time versus 175.4 million that we plan on spending recall that you all approved a three percent uh i'm sorry a two percent pay increase and then on top of that a three percent one-time stipend which did not come out of these monies the one time three percent stipend was budgeted for and accounted for in the sr3 monies so operating spend expense is even year-over-year note that capital has increased year over year we spent a great deal of time trying to get that money out into our schools more quickly in the in the current year resulting in many schools seeing new library furniture and and expenditures such as that so trying to take advantage
052of the fact that we are fully funded in the district additional assistance and that's all i have for you tonight so there's the other questions no questions mrs humphries did you have any questions uh not at this time okay thank you with no further questions thank you very much mrs betts we appreciate that we will now move to 7.0 the consent agenda and 7.01 the approval of consent agenda items board members do i have a motion i move that we approve the consent agenda items as presented thank you miss eugetti it's been moved is it seconded thank you mr parker it's been moved and seconded that we approve the consent agenda items as presented i will ask for a vote all those in favor please vote by saying aye aye those opposed say nay [Music]
