So good evening um Vice President Okmpo, board members, superintendent Kona, cabinet colleagues and community. I'm here to not tonight to spotlight champion of parental involvement LCAP survey recogni recognition in alignment with our commitment to the local control accountability plan LCAP. We are proud to spotlight the incredible efforts of our school communities in championship championing parental involvement. This year's parent LCAP survey data reflects a more refined and accurate representation as families with multiple children were counted
003only once, providing a clearer picture of schoolwide engagement. The results highlight the dedication of our school staff in fostering inclusive and collaborative environments where parent voices are not only welcomed but essential in shaping the direction of our district. We are pleased to recognize the top three schools with the highest percentage of parent participation. So this year in third place was Steinbeck Elementary with 54% of their parent community. Second place was Creekide Alisal Virtual Academy with 56%. And the winner this year is first place is Alisal Community School with the highest parent participation rate. Congratulations to Alisawal Community School. They have earned bragging rights for the year until next year when we will see which site rises to the top. This recognition has sparked a positive synergy and a spirit of friendly competition among our schools,
004further fueling efforts to elevate parent voice. We are pleased to recognize and thank all of our school communities for the continued work in engaging families and ensuring their voices are heard and reflected in the goals and actions of our district. So with that, I'd like to um call up the staff from Alice community for their efforts. they were at 66% of their community and that's an amazing percentage. So, this is in honor of your efforts and you get to hang it for a year. And so, with that, can we take a picture and give them a round of applause? right here. What you feel? Yeah, there are a couple of others. Uh, next, Monica Anzo will report on conspicuous administrator leadership that was observed this past weekend during our sports program. Monica, thank you, Mr.
005Koik. So, we received a message from um a parent asking us to recognize publicly our our two of our administrators that showed their leadership and really stood up for our students. So there was um an incident during the Montabella um at Montabella during the soccer tournament in which a student missed a goal and the referees didn't show very nice behavior towards the student were unprofessional and the good thing was that Mr. Frenzel and Miss Mendulsa, our Creekide administrators were there. So, I'm going to read the words. The parent u made sure we knew what was happening and she said, "Fortunately, Mr. Frenzel and Miss Mendoza overheard what was happening and immediately intervene. They calmly and decisively addressed the referees before any parents had to get involved or the situation escalated further." Their actions protected the
006students emotional well-being and helped maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone in the attendance. Their leadership, empathy, and dedication to our students safety and dignity are very com commendable. I sincerely appreciate their presence and professionalism, and I hope their quick and thoughtful response is recognized by the district. So, we'd like to take that moment to recognize their leadership and thank um parent Linda Himenez for reporting what she saw. Uh the next uh spotlight um apparently I understand we have um actually we have two plaques apparently. We have one plaque for Mr. uh Aruro Duran uh who will be uh retiring from the district and we also have another plaque for Mr. for Jim Conig who will also be retiring from the distance district. So it's my understanding now that I guess we all go

Thank you. Comments from the California School Employees Association. uh comments from uh the United Substitute Teachers uh Union. Okay, we'll then move on to number three which is a presentation presentation. So we have a presentation um entitled titled school year 2526 budget. Elaine Mendoza, director of physical services. Good evening uh vice president Okampo, trustees, Mr. Koig, cabinet and colleagues. We just finished preparation of 202526
017school year. Under the law or statutoily speaking, we have to present the information today at least two weeks before the budget can be approved by board of trustees. This is one of the required steps. During this steps, we make a presentation and we seek input from public and board of education. Just to assure you that we prepared this budget based on the priorities given to us by board of trustees, superintendent and the community. We have not changed our priorities. The priorities come to us during different uh from different channels or through different channels board meetings input about LCAP LCFF input different method that we use to seek information and guidance. We develop budget. We seek information and guidance so we can revise the information. The budget that we present today or the information that we
018present today this is initial draft of our budget. The reason is state has not adopted budget yet. They are legally supposed to adopt budget by or before end of June. When state of California is going to create and adop adopt budget, we are going to come back to you one more time to finalize the numbers. But until that time, this information is the best that we have from inside and outside sources. Governor presents information in the month of January. So mostly this this budget is based on the January information which can be slightly outdated but that's the nature of budget development in state of California. My name is Raisabasi. I'm the associate superintendent of business services and my colleague here uh Ela Mendoza. We have worked very hard to create this budget and we are
019going to make a very brief presentation and from this point my colleagues is going to take over. Good evening. Thank you. Um, so tonight I will go ahead and present the preliminary budget report for 2526. According to education code, hon or before July 1st of every year, the governing board of each school district shall accomplish the following. Hold a public hearing on the budget to be adopted. Adopt the budget and file the budget with the county superintendent of schools. We will begin by looking at a comparison at each of the reporting periods for 202425. We have the adopted budget first interim, second interim, and then estimated actuals. This slide shows the balances for general fund. It's combined of unrestricted and restricted funds. The last column shows our estimated actual balances for 202425. We are estimating
020our ending fund balance at n at 99.7 million. Okay, to break down the funds a little more, the general fund is made up of unrestricted and restricted funds. So the slide shows the balances and the breakdown of the two um different categories. The unrestricted ending fund balance is projected at 60.9 million and restricted ending fund balance is 38.8 8 million totaling to the 99.7 million. We will now look at the 2526 budget. When building the budget, some assumptions are taken into account for our projections. For the local control funding formula, um the enrollment is projected at 7,97. The average daily attendance is 6,860 or equaling to 96.66%. The cost of living adjustment is 2.3% and the unduplicated people count um eligible for supplemental grants is 95.26%. For uh federal revenues, it is remaining flat for
021now. For state revenues, uh the local the lottery fund is protected at $249 per student, equaling to about 1.7 million. Cola for special education program is also at 2.3%. And mandated programs is 26%. For local revenues, uh donations or are um included based on any trends and commitments. We also make expenditure assumptions for our budget for um retirement contributions. For stirs, it remains at 19.10%. And then for PERS contribution um it decreased a little by 0.24% so equaling to 26.81%. Here we have a comparison of the projections of our estimated actuals for 202425 and our preliminary budget for 202526. For our budget, we are projecting our revenues at 142.9 million. And after calculating our expenditures and beginning fund balance, our ending fund balance is 59.2 million. And to break down the budget a little bit
022more, we have it um separated by unrestricted and restricted funds. So here you can see the unrestricted ending fund balance is projected at 56.3 million and our restricted ending fund balance is 2.9 million. When building the budget, we also look at the multi-year projections for 2020 26 27 and 2728. So two um subsequent years. Some assumptions we make are um enrollment ADA and unduplicated pupil count. for 2026 27 um for enrollment we have 6,872 for ADA 6522 and the unduplicated pupil count is 95.38%. You'll see a slight um change projected for 2728. So for enrollment we have 6764 ADA 6,426 and unduplicated pupil count of 96.23%. The uh LCFF COLA is projected at 3.02% for 2026-27 fiscal year and then 3.42% for 2027-28. Um these numbers are not guaranteed and they can change um over
023time. We also do a breakdown of the balances for comparison. So here we have um the estimated actuals compared to our budget for 202526 and then the two subsequent years. We use the assumptions for revenues and expenditures for the um projections. In other funds, we have several other funds here and their balances. Uh we have the major funds that we use for uh construction which is fund 21, fund 35. Uh we also have our child development fund and cafeteria funds. So these are our major funds. Some other budget um considerations. Enrollment is uh projected to continue to decline. Negotiations with um CSA bargaining unit is ongoing. The budget is developed based on information that we have at the time. So the May revise is not the final budget um as as the numbers can change
024before June 30th. For next steps, we have the adoption of 202526 budget and LCAP on June 25th. The state budget adoption which is on June 30th and then the 45day uh budget revise in July August. Thank you. Any question? Any questions um from the board? Yes. I I was curious the lottery funds. So it's presumed that for next year we'll get like uh 1.7 million I think. What category of funds does that go into and to restricted unrestricted general? So the lottery funds we basically use for uh instructional materials and lottery funds have two separate actually categories. When state gives us money, they split that in unrestricted and restricted. But we like to use both of those funds for uh instructional materials like textbooks for example. Okay. So norm so where is the money that
025we normally use for textbooks? Is that restricted? That is restricted money. Yes. Uhhuh. But the lottery funds doesn't have to be limited to spend it on certain things. The money that is is called Prop 63. So under process they have to spend on instructional materials. That's a best or recommended use of funds throughout California. Uh unrestricted which is a smaller amount is about 20% of the funds. They can be used for anything. They are unrestricted in nature. But we also like to use that for instructional purposes. So most of these funds that we're going to presume that we're going to get and use most of them don't roll over to the next year. correct or uh the restricted side of lottery money can be rolled over to next year because that is by definition categorical
026money it's also called uh prop 63 money so yet that carries over from one year to another but it's not that much money so we end up spending all of that it's a very small amount of money 7 million yeah I guess when you compare to what the cost is we have about $200 million budget right in 200 million Uh-huh. That's actually almost nothing. So, since we've had the lottery money come into the district, has it ever rolled over or is the district pretty good about uh spending it? We almost always spend it. And I would think that would be the same in mostly all of these categories. We use it or or we lose it. I guess in some categories, but is there a category you can think of that if we don't use
027the funds then we lose them? Actually, yeah, there are many examples that if we do not use them, we lose them. EOP is a good example. Okay. EOP money has a timeline. If we do not spend that money by a certain date, we can lose it. Uh music and arts blog grant, it also has a time limitation. It's a it has a longer life, but yes, that can expire as well. Uh that's a state side. On the federal side, title one money has a time limit. Mhm. If we do not spend that money, we lose that money. We have to give that back. But we have been very good about uh making use of timelines. So we always have this ability to actually spend down almost entire amount that is given to us, allocated to
028us. Well, I appreciate that. We're the budget and what we're going to be getting is going to be smaller and smaller in the future. So we want to be tighter with our dollars. So it's a good thing we do not we we stay on those guidelines to not have to give any money back that we don't absolutely we are we have been very prudent about that we know how to receive money and spend money uh in our budgeting cycle we keep reminding all the managers and directors and principles uh on a periodic basis to spend the money we do not like to lose money at all so we have this uh mechanism built-in mechanism to remind our key personnel So they can spend money. We help them spend money. That's great. Thank you very much
029for the presentation. Thank you, Mr. Okmpo. Just had a a question. I'm wondering um yeah, I noticed that um or at least for the next the next three academic years, we um um we do we do have a a deficit, you know, for every for the next three years. But Apparently what keeps us afloat is u is the uh ending um fund balance every year. Keeps us in the black I guess every year. But every year as uh council member I'm sorry as trustee Gilpa said uh every year the um the um the fund balance goes down you know from 59,000 I'm sorry 59 million I think to 46 million to 36 million. So it's like a it's a downward trend. Um so I guess we're okay for the next three years. I mean we
030apparently have a balanced budget for the next three years because of the ending balance. That's what sort of keeping us afloat or or in the black as as they say. Uh do you think this uh downward trend will will continue or is it something that can't be predicted? you know, can we predict four years in the future, five years in the future? Is that not predictable or do you think it'll the downward trend will continue? I'm curious what your your um what's your thoughts are on on that? So, our timeline, our lifeline is the cola that we get from state of California. Other factors are significant. For example, our enrollment is another big factor. Cola for now the projection is that we are going to get 2.3% next year 25 26 and 3% plus the
031next through two years which is 26 27 27 28 that's a nice amount of cola to maintain our expenses uh we do not like to add ongoing expenses with one-time monies we like to maintain our reserve as much as we can for now we are very good for the next three years at least three years because we are over 10% required by board of education which is 3% state requirement plus 7% that board of trustees requires us so we are able to maintain at least 10% in the next three years I would say actually in the next five to six years we are way above the required reserve level we have good we are good about spending that We have uh made uh we have settled with our biggest uh uh bargaining partners teachers union.
032So we are set for 24 25 26 10 27 28 school year. So we know that how much our expense is going to be and how much our revenue is going to be. Again econ economics is unpredictable. Cola can change. If recession happens, state might give us less money. We may have some issues to deal with at at that time. But for now, it looks promising based on the economic reports that we get from UCLA and we get from state of California and state controllers's office and legislative office which is a bipartisan group. They all say that even if recession happens, it's going to be a mild recession. So we should be okay in the next five to six years with all the money that we have. Our deficit spending is a concern to us
033and on the surface it's a concern to county office of education as well because they say that our revenue is less than our expenditures but that's also the nature of accounting and timing that we deal with because we carry over funds from one time to another. So in accounting statements it looks like a deficit spending but in reality actually we have fund balance categorical fund balance to balance our budgets. Uh that's accounting cycle that we have to deal with. Okay. I'm curious are the Thank you for that. Are the projected colas factored into uh the next three years? Yes. Uh only thing is that the state has not approved their budget yet. So when state of California uh approves their budget then we know for sure how much cola we are going to get. For
034now it's just a projection that we are going to get 2.3% next year and 3.42% uh 26 27 school year. But cola is a number that comes from US department of commerce. It's not a state of California projection. That number is actually US number from department of commerce and that is based on different factors and those factors actually accumulate over over a period of time. Each quarter department of commerce collects information and they factor in into their own calculation and that cola is also used for social security for example and for other factors uh in in US economy. So it's very difficult to project and predict but for now based on all the information we have these are the best estimates we have. Okay. Thank you sir. Sounds sounds good. You sold me. Okay. Uh
035I guess we then will move on to u we have another presentation. The Alisal Junior School District Local Control Accountability Plan. Uh, Deputy Superintendent Monica Anselo and Director of Education Services Dr. Maria Alvarez. Good afternoon, Vice President Okmpo, Superintendent Ko, Trustees, Cabinet, and Community. I'm Monique Ganso, deputy superintendent, and I'm here today with Dr. Alvarez, and we will be presenting um some highlights from our LCAP plan. In addition to the highlights, some of the requirements and um the the funding that we'll be receiving for the 2526 school year, right? The plan is just for a quick review. The plan is created uh from eight state priorities. This is a requirement from the state. We have to look at basic services. Um so making sure we have our teachers, our um our facilities are in good
036repair. That's part of what we're doing with our basic necessities. We have to make sure we have implementation of the state standards, access to the to courses. So, making sure the students have access to um the proper curriculum, student achievement, and parent involvement, student engagement, and school climate. So, you'll see those eight priorities as we're discussing our uh plan. This is um three-year plan. Last year we brought to you uh the beginning of the first cycle. So it's a three a three-year plan. We approved that last year in at the end of June 2024. This is what we're bringing to you is the second year of this three-year plan. And so today is a presentation. There'll be a public hearing and then we'll bring it back on June 25th for approval. So the LCAP does
037have some requirements. So in addition to um making sure that we we show evidence of the LCAP, it's presented to um the LEA. We have to make sure we increasing the services for a certain group of students, our lowincome students, student uh English learners, and foster youth. So this is what we called our unduplicated count. Um and it has to show that we're improving services compared to other pupils. So some of the purpose and requirements for our plan is that we engage educational partners in the development of the LCAP that we have district goals and targets which are actions. We establish effective actions and sufficient expenditures. So each action is aligned to um an expenditure. Again, we have to make sure we have consultation from teachers, principals, administrators, other school staff, uh local bargaining units,
038parents, and students. It's reviewed by our DAC and DAC, and then we bring it today for public hearing. Some of the requirements in addition to everything that I just um went over is that we have to have an action if we have 30 or more English learners, which we do. If we have 15 or more long-term English learners, which we do, if we are under technical assistance, which we're not. if schools in the LEA with at least one red indicator on the dashboard, which we do. Um, student groups in the LEA with at least one indicator on the red indicator on the dashboard, which we do, and then student groups within any school in the LEA with at least one red indicator, which we also do. So, you'll see actions created as we go over
039or we have create actions except for the technical assistance. So, here are some um highlights from our our dashboard. Again, this dashboard was uh made public in December of 2024. So, some of the this data is old data that we're working with, but that's what we have to work with. The new dashboard won't be released until December of 2025. This is just a a um a longevity. You can see how we've increased in the color. So we want to make sure that we are in blue is the the highest color that we can have and red is the lowest. You can see in 2017 in language arts we were in yellow. Um this fall of 2024 we are still in yellow and you can see all the colors in between. Math back in 2017 we
040were in orange. As you see the progression there was some dips but then we went back up to yellow this fall. And this all takes into consideration the growth of students on in math and ELA. Then we have um ang English language development. So for our English learners, how are they developing in English? It doesn't just take into consideration our students are reclassifying, but any student that's considered an English learner and how they're and how they're developing language. We can see that we had a dip last year um from we went from a 54.7% that were reaching growing in the LP we had we dropped and so we went to a 10% so we went from that green to the red so we have to have actions that are going to address that uh our
041suspension which is our school climate as listed in the priorities we went um this year we were in green last year we were in orange as a district and then chronic absentism which is considered student engagement. That's the one of the priorities and we have um we have increased our our student attendance. So it is in yellow here. This is just another view of our dashboard. As you can see from the schools all the reds are what we have to pay attention to because those are the actions that we have to create in our dashboard. So, for example, I'll just go over the very first one. Um, Alisak community, you have ELA, math, and EL. You can see where they have a red action or red indicator in their EL for 2425. So, we have
042to make sure that we address that. It's included in our LCAP and included in the school SIPA. These are just these are the red indicators from 20 uh 324. is just a comparison on how we were last year where we had to create some actions in which we had um compared. Okay. So the LP if you look at our English learners we had one school that was in red there. We had um nine schools that were in our ELA that were in also in the red compared to this year. our LP actually we had more schools in the red indicator so we have to make sure we include that but we have less schools with our English learners in the LA in the red indicator we have we went from 9 to three so again
043we have some areas in which we need to work and in some areas where we have made some changes so you're probably wondering why we are in the red and this graph can show you that in 2020 23 we were in purple 54.8% as a district and then in 2024 in the purple we're at 44.9 six yeah six. So that's that 10 um point percentage difference. And so that's what made us go into the red. And that purple is saying that students um made one ear LP level growth. And so we went down. They didn't make that growth. You can see in the green they went up. They stayed stagnant. They maintained what they had in the year previous. And then also the pink is that they regressed one LP level. So on the dashboard,
044the way that the colors come is that on the top row, it's a 5x5 card. On the top, it shows where schools had the growth on LP and then it compares it to the data from the current year. And so on the next slide, you see the schools that went down on their LP and the percentage that they went down. So that's what brought us um into the red because of the movement on one ear's growth or more the LCAP. We're required to engage our educational partners. And so these are some of the areas that we um focus. We have student surveys, one in the spring, one in the fall. We have a parent survey. We have parent participation at each of the school sites. We had two engagement um professional um um meetings that
045parents were invited to and then we have um certificated staff participates in a meeting um that is focused on LCAP where they take a survey. We have certificated staff surveys. We have classified surveys and we also do a lot of unpacking of the LCAP at our DAC DAC meetings every month. And this is just another highlight of the schools that um came um in first, second, and third. Um they they were the highest in the district and again and congratulations to Alisal for um winning this year with 66% of their um parent population. The development of the LCAP is developed with the results of our local assessment data, feedback and evaluation from staff, needs and recommendation from our DAC DAC school site councils, the two um educational stakeholder meetings that we have from school site
046meetings, surveys, our family resource centers, and our community forums that we have throughout the year. So, we have five district goals. And with that, I want to call out that in our LCAP, we are adding one new action to goal number three. It's independent study. So, if you have your cheat sheet, it's in bright orange, the new one. It's in the blue section, and that is for independent study and pupil services. I do want to call out that the actions that we had for last year are all going to continue and roll over to this year because it's a three-year plan. Additionally, um action one, goal one, action 17 is going to be discontinued. The Alisal Virtual Academy is closing for the 2526 school year and beyond um due to enrollment and um those families
047have already been contacted. Most of the students are um going to stay at Creekide and but there are a few students that um are going to be going um to a different virtual academy in our county. LCAP actions and funding um is the LCFF supplemental concentration. So, as you can see, last year we had 33,685,16 for 2425. This year we're going to get 34,484,960. Um, and so there's an additional $799,944. I want to also call out the total personnel. 32,232,535 goes to personnel and we have listened to our community that they want more support and it's there um in numbers of how much we are putting towards um personnel within the LCAP. So there also this year the requirement is that we put the funds that are left over in our learning recovery grant. So
048as you can see in goal one, 1713,642 is going to be incorporated into goal one. Goal three is $920,000. Goal four is 856,900 giving us a total amount of 3,490,542 that will be also included into our LCAP. So goal one is around PLC to support core instruction and tiered systems. As you can see um on the slide, there are three actions that we call out to support the red indicators that um Miss Ansel um spoke about earlier and the mount and then you can see the learning recovery that for the professional learning community LCAP will be paying1,975,558 and we will have an additional $250 51,144 to hire four additional um subs BT subs to support um the release of professional learning communities. And then we have the professional developments also that will be added into
049from LCAP and also from learning recovery and then assessment um systems will also be getting an amount there. And then um we are going to continue with our student intervention paper contract which um is 393,000 which is will also be paid from the learning recovery. Oh I forgot one at the bottom. Um each school yeah each school site will also have a learning environment um so that way um teachers can focus on learning environment within their classroom. So goal two is um success of English language students and as you can see we have one red indicator we have the English um learner instructional specialists we have six and the totals there um we have a bilingual professional development for our teachers and we have um two teachers a newcomer class and the mounts are there
050and those are three actions in goal two. Goal three, social emotional learning, behavioral supports, and family engagement. As you can see, we have three indicators. One of the red indicators are we have 12 full-time counselors. We have five psychologists and four social workers being paid out of the LCAP. And you can see um for the learning recovery there is more um money put for our social workers and um Easter seals contract and student engagement attendance will also be included for the learning recovery. So all the learning recovery actions um will be an added action in each of those go um goals. Um, goal number four is active engagement, relationship building, and capacity building. And as you can see, we have one red indicator, which is a huge one. It's building capacity for site and district
051um leaders. And as you can see, um 865,000 is going to be added from the learning recovery because it is very important to build the capacity of um people that are working with our students. And goal number five, early learning literacy focus. Oops. Um there's one red indicator. Um there's 12 reading specialists and there's four actions in goal five. And the grand total for each goal you can see there giving us a total of 34,484,960 for the year. So where were where there are any questions? Any questions uh from the board? Yes, Senator. Yes, thank you. That's quite a job there with this presentation. I I did have a a couple of questions. Um could you elaborate a little bit more on what independent studies is going to entail? That's one question. So, we have
052to hire a credentialed teacher and in this our case because it's a only a it's a temporary um time during the year, the teacher needs to correct all the independent packets in order for the students to receive credit for independent studies. So, it's to pay or some of the um we hire long-term sub to pay. So, it's to pay that person. So, it's a because it's a new action, correct? So, yes. So these these so their study packets is that for what students would be referred to independent studies. So students that are actually traveling are mostly the ones that are um on independent studies. So let's say during Christmas stu a student might uh spend an extra week out of school for going out of the country. They could take a packet. Yes. Okay. So
053does that increase do kids usually bring the packets back? Yes. In order for them to receive the credit. Yes, they have to. It's an achieve it's something to benefit them to get so that they don't lose out on on that. Okay. And that's going to be under pupil personnel services. Yes. Okay. And then my other question, I think I I missed it or I was uh but going back to the slide where it lists the five schools um on the English language proficiency indicator. There's five schools and the percentages whereas a district it's 10.2%. 2%. Can you please explain a little bit more, and I'm sorry if I missed it, what those percentages mean? So, those percentages mean that they didn't that students at those schools didn't have that one-year growth or more. That means
054that they stay um they maintained what their score was last year or they regressed um one year back. Okay. So uh I don't want to put any school on on on the highlight here but the first school listed there it's a negative or it's 39.4%. That means almost 40% of their students did not have any growth. That is correct. That's almost half of the students that are e English learners that are e students that didn't. Right. So what's the plan for I mean that's the others are are the same. So these are the top five. So, our EL specialists um are really working diligently right now to really monitor our English language learners. We're looking at the students that didn't that maintained or regressed. And we also have a summer program. In fact, today we
055had a um summer school PD and all our summer school teachers that are working under the equity department are calling the students that maintained or had regression to motivate them and to monitor their growth and then this EL specialists will continue that work next year. I do want to call out that the scores that we're getting back this year um for the ELPAC are showing great gains. So I I'm confident that these red indicate the ones that are in red indicators, we are going to have growth next year. So um we'll have to wait till December to get that final count, but I'm very confident that it's going to look better for our district. That that sounds good. That sounds fantastic. Um, but let's say I'm going to play the devil's advocate here for a
056minute. These same schools do worse next year. What I mean I know we have to look at the students individually you know but don't we have to look at the schools also as as what's happening there and why that group of students like for example if these same schools are the same five that are going to be in red next year I mean what is it that we do to to support mainly not criticize but to support what's happening at the what's the plan to support them. Maybe that's what my question is. So in addition to the action that um Dr. Alvarez was speaking to which is part of goal two, we have different actions throughout the LCAP that are going to address that. So for example, building capacity of not just the site leaders
057but the leadership teams at each school. So we have eight schools um which from that list include two schools um no just two two schools that are uh now being part um of what we call vital so visible visibly improving teaching and learning. So they're certain protocols. So when teachers are planning their standards they're making sure that they're integrating um language development into the to the lesson. So that is something that is going to we have four schools that just finished the first year and we added an additional four so that we can support not just the planning of the core instruction but how are they developing language we have our I ready data we are making sure that it's aligned and and that includes the monitoring we have our um leadership development director who's
058a coach for the principles and she started late this year, but now she has a full taste of what's happening and what some of the next steps for our leaders. Um, we also plan on being in the classrooms next year. Not just the superintendent, not just the u our director of leadership development, but our e directors, our directors that are working with curriculum and instruction to make sure that the practice in the classroom is addressing the needs of the students. Right. because I I I would suppose that it it the principles are very responsible for this but also support for the the teachers and so um you know I'm sure they'll get that support. I mean we do have Dr. Alvarez, then the the new deputy superintendent, which I think will play a big role
059in supporting the principles, and that's what we need to do. But we that can't go on and on and on at the same school over and over and over. and students. I mean something I mean we all know we're not going to you don't fix what's broken and you support but at at some point we are accountable to the community to our students for the education that we are um providing them. So, it's good to hear that you have a plan to address that because it doesn't it's scary when you look at, you know, the schools in red and it's not to put them on the spot. It's to say what are we going to do to assist them. But at the same time, it is the board's responsibility to make sure that something's in
060place that if in the event the students don't do well, okay, well, then we have to do something else. And sometimes there's drastic measures that have to take place. You know, I don't know what they are. You're the experts. You you must know. Uh but um thank you. It was a good presentation. It's a good thing you got a lot of input from uh parents. Uh do we get because community members ever involved? Do they do surveys? Um because they give input also on the LCAP, don't they? Or who's considered a community member? A community member. I mean, so when we're talking about the community, like when we have DAC DACK, any everybody's invited. So, anybody that wants to come even outside that is not part of Alyssal, they're welcome to come and we're listening
061and leaning into what they are um suggesting and you know, we're having that discourse. So, it could be anybody that's within our community and Selenas. That's good. Well, I I really love was learning about the connection with the LCAP, the LCFF, and also even our school plans and how everything comes together, you know, to help our students, you know, be at the level that they should be in student achievement. I was going to add our school plans tonight will be approved. And in the school plans, I'm very I want to give a shout out to our principles. they really um are highlevel intentional um actions that they put in there to their plan. So, not only is it going to be supported by the ELCAP, but at the school site with their um ILT members,
062they also have their school plan that they're going to be following to address the needs at their school and the red indicators. Yeah, I know we're going to be covering that later on on the agenda. Um, so I'll save my comments about the school plans, but I did see I didn't read all of them. You know, it's they have sum even a little summary page, but it's a lot. But I did kind of see a difference in, you know, I compared a couple of the schools with last time and some different strategies or so, it's good to know that the principles are involved in that. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Okmpo. Thank you, Lupe. Excellent questions. Um I had a a question about your um your goal forward the building capacity for site
063and and district leaders. What what exactly will that look like? So most of that funding um is part of what we call our instructional leadership team. So our site leaders it it's not just about um it's about ma being able to make decisions from the evidence of student learning from the evidence of student engagement um school climate and how are they creating those actions. So that doesn't come natural to everybody. It has to be built. So we're not take we're not taking it a chance on it. We have to design it. So our uh principles that are part of the vital uh we have been uh working with west the past few years in order to build that structure and the foundation with our not just our principles and our assistant principles but with their
064leadership teams so that the um that leadership isn't just it we're talking that shared leadership is not just within the principal and the assistant principal. I imagine some principles are probably better than others at it at uh figuring out the needs of students and so on. They're developing. Yes, they're developing it. So there will be kind of a structure to help them do this better in the future. Yes. because I I know this council this council this board of trustees has you know talked a lot about uh the importance of principles and leadership and uh kind of really taking hold of the problem and working with the problem. So I'm glad to see that we're developing a model anyway that that will that will address that. So it sounds very good. Thank you. Any other
065questions? All right. Uh we then will move on to um uh board member and superintendent reports. I don't know if we have any reports from either the superintendent or board members. Okay. Yeah. I just want to say this is my final board meeting. Uh I've been in Alisal for 17 years. I don't know how many board meetings I've been to, but it's got to be over 350. Um, it's been, you know, Alisel 17 years, that's almost a quarter of my life. This has really been people ask me how I am every day and I tell them I'm marvelous because it is a marvelous place to work and I really have enjoyed every single day here and I want to uh thank the board for uh giving me the opportunity to serve here in particular as
066the superintendent for the past six years. The board has been this board has been professional and uh dedicated and supportive and it's been a real pleasure to work with you and uh Alisel is a wonderful special place. It's truly a family and I'm going to miss it. Thank you. I just have one one quick report. Uh on the 23rd of May, uh we did have a retirement celebration for for Mr. Koig which was really really upbeat. Some of you here attended. I think there were maybe 80 people. Maybe there were a bunch of people may maybe 80 people. And uh the staff presented the staff put together a slideshow of students and Mr. Koig and teachers and there was a group of principles that presented Mr. Koig with I believe it was a plaque and
067uh we all ate we had a cake and we had a barbakcoa rice beans and salad uh were served were served for the occasion. So, you know, I would like to give a shout out to uh Sophia Ramirez because she she organized the uh the the event, you know, thank you. Thank you for that. And I'm going to name uh all the people that were involved in putting together the event. Uh, Rosa Rivas, Patricia Rodriguez, Melosa, Rang Stry, Shrey, uh, Martinez, Salasar, Ruby, Estrada, Constantino, George Lopez, Claudia, Melendez, Maria, Mary, Samaria, Rosio, Cardinas, Mariel, [Music] Caldera, Sig, Fredo, Baros, Oh god, Barrosio Gutierrez, Maria Barahas and again Sophia Ramirez. So a shout out to all of these people for putting the event together and you know want to thank you all for your service and
068your your commitment to to al to the Alys school district. So thank you. Um we then will we'll move on to the consent agenda. Um and um at this point I will uh uh entertain a motion for for the consent agenda. Senor Gilas maybe. Okay. So moved and a second. Okay. Seenor Jimenez. Uh comments comments or or questions? No. Okay. Okay. I do have um just a a brief comment that I want to make. Try to try to keep it short if that's possible. I don't really know. Uh but you know, I I what what caught my eye in this consent agenda were uh all the all the items that that had to do with the transitional kindergarten program. We do have a bunch a bunch of items, you know, uh items five, nu uh
069all deal with um with the uh the T the TK program uh in our district. Um and for the most part, they provide a professional development for our TK teachers in the areas of play, uh social, emotional, and cognitive skills for TK students. And I think we had two other items where we're paying um uh social media to advertise our TK uh program uh to try during the summer to try to get more parents to sign their students up for for TK uh in our district. And and I bring this up for for two reasons. You know, one reason is that we are currently, you know, trying to grow, as you all know, we're trying to grow our PK program. are trying to to enroll more student more students in TK and our our governor,
070you know, Governor Wilson has allocated roughly I think about $3 billion for TK in in California. And the goal is to provide a universal uh TK TK or transitional kindergarter uh to all four-year-olds uh in in the state of of California. So we are in the process of trying to you know to to have TK uh become a grade you know like kindergarters a grade, first grade, second grade and have TK become a grade an official grade and make it available to all of our students and uh enroll as many four year olds as we can. Uh and if we do that uh I think maybe our enrollment might possibly go up go up because at the time if you remember our enrollment was about 9,000. Those were kind of the good years. Now we're
071about 7,000, which, you know, I don't like to talk money, but obviously it means less money. Now, if we can up our enrollment in in TK pay, maybe maybe that could could have a positive effect on our financial financial u bottom line. Now, now the second reason I I bring this up is because I think I think that TK is is very important, you know, for for this district because, you know, and and a lot of that stems from the fact that a lot of research shows that that 90% of a child's uh brain growth happens before they they begin kindergarten. So, so if we can get these young people, you know, at the age of four and start teaching them math, start teaching them in English, there's no doubt in my mind that they
072will be successful in the upper grades, you know, grade K, K through six. So I just think that it's very it's very important that that we develop an excellent program that we do this correctly that we pay a lot of attention to the development of our TK program and there and they create a program that is really superb in in all in all aspects because I think that the benefits I think will be will be tremendous. I always, you know, whenever we do things, I always in my mind are I'm always thinking, okay, well, what are the benefits to this particular plan or this particular thing that we want to do? And in TK, I I see a lot of potential benefits. So, I I would just like to encourage our staff to really focus
073and really, you know, do a bangup job and create create a great a great program. So, so those those are my my comments uh on that and uh I think we can then move on to um um to a vote. Yes, Mr. Koig, if you can take a line vote, please for the consent agenda. Vice President Okmpo. Uh yes. Trusty Gilpas Pereira. Yes. Trusty Jimenez. Yes. The motion passes. Okay. Okay, we'll then move on to number six, which is um uh business services um action item resolution number 2425-27 designation of uh district representative on Monterey San Bonito Joint Powers Authority Governing Board.

Trusty Jimenez. Yes. The motion passes. Uh eight. Human uh resources action item request for new position information specialist three
075one position uh entertain a motion make a motion motion made by Senor Himenez second second seconded by Senor Gilpas comments questions uh yes senor Gilpas I just have a brief question for both of these um items uh where it asks where it states the budget source there's just a number and I think sometimes don't we get like whatever funding source it is besides that long number. I was kind of surprised to see that or maybe I've been missing it. Can someone comment on that? Like what is the funding source? I mean, if I was I don't know it by heart. It's just such a long number and I know it's posted online. I don't think anybody's going to know. Maybe nobody will look at that, but they might. You're absolutely right. the the budget source
076should identify the something that tells you where we're getting the money, the resource and the department that the position will be assigned to. And we'll we'll uh make sure we do that in the future. Okay. So, you don't know it off hand. This is unrestricted general fund. Okay. Both of them. Uh let me see. Well, the behavior technicians will be paid for indirectly by the unrestricted general fund because they are special education positions. However, special education funding is woefully inadequate. So, the majority of special education expenses and these will be paid by a contribution from the unrestricted general fund. Okay. Thank you very much. And looking at the second uh account number, I can tell it's a special education resource for behavior technicians. Awesome. Thank you. Okay, we will then move on to uh B
