001All right, we're live. We're back. Um, we had technical difficulties, but we are item seven, finance and facilities. No, still M. Oh, we didn't approve it, right? Yeah, we didn't. Sorry. M. Approval of FY26 Honey Well contract. Do we have a motion? Make a motion to approve the FY26 Honeywell contract. Do we have a second? Okay. Do we have a motion by Davos, a second by Missile? All in favor? I I smiles. Okay. Motion passes. Now we could go to item seven, finance and facilities. A, approval of May bills and payroll. Do we have a motion? I wasn't here for the bud. Yep. I motion to approve uh May bills and payroll. Do we have a second? I'll second that. Linda second. Um all in favor? I smile. Okay. Motion passes. Um, item B, approval
002of budget adjustments and transfers. Not in your packet, but placed before the meeting. If you have any questions, So, can you explain them to us right quick? Okay. The first one's title one is an increase of 120,777 because it is the final FY25 allocation that 31703 is our SB9. This is our 2 mill SB9 our the one this is what we our voters vote on every six years an increase for this is our current year allocation sounds kind of funny that we're getting that in June but but that's that's how it's rolling this year on the third one title two is a decrease again because it is the final award that PB sent us 24 to 160 for a low-inccome shoe school is a transfer. Um, kind of funny thing, PD is no longer within
003that 1,00 instructional function. Even if it's for our teachers, it's in a different function. So, we've been doing a lot of those this year, transferring it to from instruction to PD. Um, EdTech bond 31900 is an increase. So, we had a I think it was last meeting, we were able to do our audited cash increases. Our audited cash did not match. The audit did not match what NMFA, New Mexico Finance Authority is because they hold our bond funds. Um, this is the technology bond. They hold it, we send it, we ask for reimbursement. Um, so this is the difference. We're hoping they will increase it. If they don't, I'm kind of like, oh well, we're gonna have a overextended budget, but I would rather spend that money, get use some of it rather than lose
004it, you know. So, so what are what are we trying to spend it on? I guess is if it's anything technology, it is almost that that fund expires this year. I think we might, you know, it has bought laptops. It's done Chromebooks recently. Um, we've been working on that's been in place for four years. So, so it's been extended the last three years. So, I'm sorry. I I think I'm just a little bit confused. So, um, so it's going from what fund to what fund? It is not going if you look at I is an increase bar. is increasing the budget right here. Okay. So, on this first one, we're trying to increase or additional compensation. Those are the lines that we're putting the increase in. So, we get a letter that says you have
005this much budget. So, we take our budget and we put it in objects into lines like salary or supplies or PD. A lot of title one, much much of title one is used for professional development. So when staff comes here for summer planning and we're paying them, anything outside of the base contract is additional compensation is categorized that way. So that's what this first one's for, right? For for professional development. Yeah. If we're paying staff um additional compensation from those funds, it's it's PD. Now the PD line that's if we're paying someone to come in or we're paying hotel for staff to travel but the other one is salary you know so if they're being paid a stipen to come in and work or to also use title one for source school that kind of
006things additional compensation so that's for future I'm sorry I know I'm asking all these questions I I just I'm trying to wrap my mind around it. At this point in the year, it's sticking this budget in there and and it's not going to be we're not going to spend 120,000. Yeah. Well, and that's why that's why I was like, yeah, between now and then. What do we So we can roll title one. Yeah. To the next school year. But then what is extremely frustrating and ironic, whatever our rollover is, we won't get it till we're supposed to get it by January. We should have got this by January, but here we are in June. Um, it's just Oh, wow. Yeah. So then we and then we don't have again time to spend it and then
007it goes well. So what will it's kind of a first in first out? So when we finally do any expenditures like so once this bar gets approved and I post it any expenditures that we've already made in title one for staff for anything at all will get charged to the old money first um before our next allocation for next year. No but yeah we should have had these in January. Okay. And then the second one has the vehicle or capital outlay. Right? So the what we have budgeted like in that particular line we were short. So that's where we're putting the increase. But then again we're just sticking also sticking it in a line where it's going to be next year. Fortunately this particular fund before they gave us this final award at budget time
008they gave us the number. So, we've at least budgeted July one, so we don't have to wait on that. And that particular fund is also cash up front. So, we're not spending it and asking for reimbursement. So, it it's cash that we'll we'll get. And then the next one, support service instruction professional development. So, these are all for future, but so you'll see this is a decrease. See how that adjustment is a decrease? Yeah. So, that's where we have it and we have to decrease it. And I know y'all approve or disapprove these. It doesn't matter if you were to disapprove that decrease. They just stay, you know, we're not going to get the money. So, that approving this is approving means that they're acknowledging it and they they see that it's there, not necessarily
009that Yeah. They don't want them to take that money basically on the decrease. Yeah. Glad to be able to argue against it, but um so I'll just I'll just need some more education on all these because I already confused on I mean just because these are significant amounts to me. Um, I don't I mean I don't know how it all works obviously, but it's just Yeah. Anyway, okay. Anytime. Stop by anytime. Now we know what we're going to do for the next five minutes. It's just a pain whenever they give the money at last like the last minute or the approvals till the last minute that doesn't let you move on forward and then you have in between your in-house like kind of like a debt but then money comes in and then right yeah
010as you go it's really just a game plan. Yeah. Well, there's to me there's just more room for for error when you're switching money back and forth, back and forth. But we're not switching money once in a fund. We're not we never transfer budget from one fund to another ever. So from right here, this is a fund, right? General operations, you don't transfer that money to title two. Title two, right? Or athletes, right? Right. Okay. You only transfer it like for example in general operations within the fund. Within the fund. That's why she gave us this because that's the only way that we can move money between there. Uhhuh. So on here she this is the list of the fundings and it comes in here and it tells you where you could move that funding
011in. Right. Am I did I explain? No, like seeing this has helped me. This is Yeah, this is this is really good. I just like I said, I just need to learn which ones roll over and which ones don't so that we could So, what are your thoughts on the other budgets that you get? Do you all look at those? I do. Okay. I do look at them. Um I just needed like I said, I just needed this piece of information so that I could reflect back to when the budget is moving in between the funds a reference a better reference. Yeah. Well, and then you should be able to reference each of these here to to those each bigger fund eventually. They all correspond and you can make the tree of Yeah. It's almost
012like if you set aside a amount of money for bills, but sometimes your electricity comes out lower, but your water came out higher. You could transfer between them, but you have another funding for groceries. You can't change that groceries part to your electric bill. That's a great way. That's a good analogy. You get it. We will we will be using that. Okay. So, do we have a motion to approve the budget adjustment transfers? I make a motion to approve the budget adjustment transfers and transfers. Do we have a second? Miss Miles second. Um, all in favor? I I motion pass. Um, personnel. Um, new hires. We have lots of new hires. Uh at the next board meeting, we would like to have um especially our administrative staff who will be um coming in as a
013meet and greet at the five o'clock meeting. So that way you guys can meet them, get to know them. Um both principal at the elementary school, Crystal Hario, Jamila Miller, principal at the high school. Um and then we have Kendra Johnson, sped HR uh director for central office. Um, we're sad to see Monica Fuentes leave central office. However, we're really excited for her opportunity at the middle school for educational technology um in that area. And then um Veronica Eper is completing her degree as well. Um so based upon recommendation um she was willing to resign from her position as EA with the know the knowledge of her current school will allow her to student teach and be in the classroom at the same time um for our middle school ELA position. So she was a
014she was a teacher assistant EA at the library. She is completing her degree by when? November. and her current program of study from uh Grand Canyon University will allow her to student teach and teach at the same time. Um they yeah, there's that allowability. Some will and some won't depending on where you get that degree. So that's why it does say long-term substitute because she won't be paid as a certified teacher. Um, but we couldn't keep her as an EA because so part of my 90-day plan and talking with legal counsel, they described the fact that if you put an EA in a position as a teacher, you're having a contract with them as an EA and you can't provide them to be a teacher because they're very different contract services. However, um this way
015if we do it as a long-term substitute, we're contracting her as a long-term substitute um that she will be paid as a long-term substitute and then when she finishes her degree, then we can move over to the teacher position, which that will be in November. Yes. And and pending lure, right? Like that's the other piece of that. We can't offer services until that as well. So that's the change from going from allowing her to be an EA in that position to her choosing to resign um to take this position long term. So this was a position that we already that we had. Yes, we interviewed for that as well. What's this teacher like? What is the position? Uh English language arts at the middle school. Yes, correct. And then your significance, Lorena Castro from federal
016programs, uh Monica Fuentes, um it in which she's moving to a different position, and then uh Veronica Upler as well, making a transition into a new position as well. So exciting for our people who have been with us for a while as they prepare to to move up into a different position. And I think that's exciting for our district to see that, you know, our people are still learning and growing and moving forward and have the support to be able to do that as well. So yes, thank you guys. Item nine, correspondence and future meetings and events. A correspondence, no correspondence, future meetings and events. June 30th, 2025, end of fiscal year in 2024. So, we are asking for a special meeting on June 30th for any more bars that might need to be passed.
017um as well as for us to go uh and hope and if you guys so choose pass the um policy in regards to um leave because we would like to start July 1 if we do decide for the leave policies to change as the new year starts that those leave policies would be in place um at that time.
