007share a little bit of information about the proposed budget that was part of the packet so first off just really quick we do use a lot of resources to prepare this of course we have to have a starting point for next year and that's our estimated ending point for the current year so that's that first item estimated actuals as of may 21. we also rely heavily on the governor's january budget proposal in the may revision which was recently released we utilized the thick mat lcff calculator the school services dart board and the san bernardino county superintendent of schools common message are also very important guiding documents as we build our budget so just a really quick rundown of where we're estimating we are going to end the current fiscal year um and one quick disclaimer
008this now that i've put this in writing it's wrong it will change between now and when we close the books but this is our best estimate as we sit here in well as we sat here in may because the budget was finished up last month so you look and see our total revenues we're looking at about 208 million dollars a significant portion of that is one time federal and state coronavirus mitigation funding that flowed to us in several different pots over the course of the last 14 months we're ex planning to expend approximately 185 million and you'll see what happens if you look at the line over on the left titled ending fund balance you'll see we have three columns there the first one unrestricted we're still projecting a significant deficit spend on the unrestricted
009side of our budget this year so about a five and a half million deficit to spend that down to 12.7 that's one of the things that will change between now and when we close the books we have planned expenditures or budgeted expenditures that are still in the budget that will or may not occur between now and june 30. so of course those will be adjusted when we close the books on the restricted side you'll see 69 million in revenue 67 million in expenditures a 26 million dollar contribution and you're probably wondering well why are we contributing 26 million to the restricted side if we're not spending as much as we got that's because of the nature of the funding the one-time federal and state coronavirus funding cannot be used to support the programs that we're
010contributing to that 26 million dollar contribution really supports our special education program and our routine restricted maintenance program which we cannot use those coronavirus monies to support so you'll see we are projecting a significant excess on the restricted side of our budget primarily due to those one-time funds a little detail on the expenditures just to share with you 63 million dollars in certificated salaries almost 26 million and classified almost 44 million in employee benefits that covers health and welfare stirs pers contributions unemployment insurance books and supplies you'll see the other categories totaling about 185 million and just to call attention to some minor transfer outs that we do make we had to transfer or we are estimating we're going to be transferring 748 to our nutrition services fund to cover some bad debt and our
011fund 40 as a reserve for capital outlay that 1.2 million dollar estimated transfer is rda funding that flows to us within fund one but it is it is uh limited to use on facilities only therefore we transfer that to fund 40 our special reserve for capital outlay as we have done consistently for the past several years so as we look for next year's budget here's some quick assumptions we're budgeting our ada at 1920 p2 and you're going to say well why 1920 well 2021 we didn't do ada we had a pandemic so we were we well we just didn't take ada so we were how to hold harmless in the night in the 2021 year we were funded based on our 1920 p2 so when we look at 2122 we're going to be funded on
012the 1920 p2 because that's the only ada marker we have because we are currently um assuming a decline in ada for the 2021 or i'm sorry for the 21 22 budget year if in fact our ada in the budget year is higher than 12608 we will be funded on that higher ada but that is the that is the lowest ada will be funded on the lcff cola the statutory cola of course is 1.7 but the governor has proposed what they're calling a mega cola of 5.07 on the lcff now that does not apply to all programs there are other funding sources and programs that will only receive the statutory cola but that impact on our lcff if that cola comes through at the 5.07 we'll be budgeting an lcf revenue of about 143 million and
013we're also budgeting additional coronavirus revenues next budget year that were not budgeted in the current year of about 36.6 million of s or 3 money and also i apologize i did not notate it on here also our in-person instruction grant is part of those additional one-time funds we're budgeting in next year we're also assuming k3 fully staffed fully funded budgeting our routine restricted maintenance contribution and of course our whopping 1.4 million dollars for a six million dollar transportation program that we get from the state of california on the expenditure side of course we have included step and column for all of our units we have budgeted compensation increases based on negotiated agreements anything in process is currently not budgeted these are agreements that have been reached stirs and pairs contribution rates of course are in
014there and position control is going to be something that's very important moving forward in the salaries and making sure we have accurate positions for the folks that were doing the work in the district we are replacing buses so we have some fleet replacement expenditures of course all of our lcap expenditures are included in our budget one thing i would like to note in years past we have made a general fund contribution to fund 14 to cover deferred maintenance that is not part of our budget in the budget year or the out years currently so this is our projection as of 21 as of today for our budget year you'll see we're looking at a little under 208 million dollars in revenues in the combined column with about 197 million in expenditures not planning on spending
015all of the one-time funding that comes in for the coronavirus mitigation money some of those funds don't expire until 2023 and some of those funds do not expire until 2024 so we're currently not budgeting to expend all of those funds hence you will see combined ending fund balance grows to little over 50 million dollars the majority of which is restricted due to those one-time coronavirus mitigation funds as we move into the let's see this first out year in our budget projection 2223 we are funding we are currently projecting a slight uptick in our ada um but you'll see that bullet there says the recapture of the reduced enrollment during the pandemic right now we are assuming those kids are coming back every one of them and then some are going to come back to apple
016valley unified school district so this we will have to monitor this very carefully during the 21-22 year and make sure they do come back because if they don't we will absolutely have to make adjustments to our assumptions in our year two and year three of our multi-year projection any reduction in that ada of course will facilitate a reduction in our lcff funding and a reduction in our revenues and we are of course assuming k3 grade spanning and the federal revenue assumptions all those one-time monies that were budgeted to be received in the current year and the budget year of course we have to remove all those in this i'm sorry in year two of our multi-year projection because we're not planning on getting any more of those one-time revenues we will receive them in the
01721-22 year on the expenditure side again we do accommodate for step and column we have not budgeted any compensation increases for any units we budget the stirs and pers rates as proposed in the governor's may revise and of course we absolutely include all of our ongoing lcap expenditures in our budget here's a quick rundown of our best projection at this point of what the 22-23 year will look like now you see some big red numbers there and they're restricted in the combined column because now we are beginning to spend those one time uh we're continuing to spend those one-time coronavirus mitigation funds but remember those revenues are not there under the restricted revenue line you see that's now only 20 million dollars because our restricted revenues have now normalized no additional one-time funding in the
01822-23 year however we are budgeting significant expenditures of those revenues that we received in the prior two years which is our current year and our budget year hence that red 18 million dollar deficit on the restricted side and a 16 million dollar deficit in the combined spending down the restricted ending balance of those coronavirus funds we get to our third year in our multi-year projection again we're projecting um a slight increase in that ada again i put that recapture of enrollment the the the reduced enrollment during the pandemic we'll have to keep an eye on that the statutory coal is 2.71 percent which will net us an increase in lcf funding for that year with a little over 4.4 million dollars current projections and of course we are assuming our k3 great span adjustment revenue
019step and column no no compensation increases stirs and pers rates and of course our lcap expenditures and finally the numbers you'll see in that restricted column a continued spend down of those one-time funds because now they expire in september of 2024 so we are assuming expense of all of those funds by june 30th of 2024. so our revenue on the restricted side is again normalized right there around 20 million and our combined revenues at 170 a little under 175 with expenditures of 187 facilitate deficit spend about 14 million again on the restricted side back to the unrestricted column you do see an excess there of about four and a half million dollars was what what we are contemplating or what we have in our multi-year projection now is some salaries that are being covered by
020those coronavirus mitigation funds that passed this particular year will be put back on the unrestricted side so right now we're we're showing a surplus on the unrestricted side but as we get into the this year and the 24-25 year that will not be there those salaries will then move back to the unrestricted side of the budget some highlights and concerns for the future of course covet 19 is not gone it's still around unfortunately has created some economic and political pressures in the in the world in the united states and in california our enrollment trend that we have to keep a group really close eye on based on what our assumptions are currently and assuming all of those kids that were not with us this year are coming back we are assuming the the colas based
021on school services and department of finance recommendations for our multi-year projection and of course the stirs and purse costs we had we did experience some rate buy downs that governor newsom put in place for last year in this however he has not proposed any further rate by dow so those rates will continue to rise over the course of this multi-year projection the state adopted budget the governor has proposed in the may revise the legislature has already come out with proposed modifications to the governor's proposals there is there are some deadlines looming for the legislature to adopt and of course the governor to sign what happens is if next week you take action to approve this budget which we do have to approve a budget prior to june 30th depending on what the state adopts we
022will of course make appropriate adjustments and i will have those adjustments in front of you when we come back in august the biggest what if the economic recovery some people will say we've had a record recovery post coveted 19 which we have the revenue continues to flow into the state far exceeding the state's projections but the the question is how long will that last and of course as i mentioned budget adjunct budget adjustments will come to you in august based on the adopted state budget thank you very much thank you the board of trustees will again like to remind members of our community that you may remove your mask while making your public comments if you feel comfortable to do so kylie do you have any cards we do not thank you um superintendents comment
023i'd like to congratulate the um staff that were appointed today those that are stepping up to do some new roles and um it is is that better yeah um and i need to make the board aware that yesterday june 2nd i received a letter of resignation from area 1 trustee mrs adeline blassing game with an effective date of june 15th i have filed the letter to mr alejandre the san bernardino county superintendent of schools and it has been accepted if it's the desire of the board i will bring back information after investigating a process either to work through a provisional appointment or a special election at the june 10th board meeting next week so i'll bring that information back so that you can make a decision as to what you want to proceed with replacing
024that area trustee there's a 60-day timeline that is started now um and then on onto district news graduations obviously were amazing we had some wind we had some technology problems we had the police department come forward and help us with our 2020 group and allow us to use their pa system in order to announce students and just amazing just the entire thing the kids were well behaved they enjoyed themselves the staff was wonderful in celebrating them and so many people showed up for the 2020 graduation in order to support the students we have lots of retirees who are not responding to our call to ask for information about them and so we extended that timeline so that we can celebrate them it may just be their time in service in this district if they don't
025respond but we're trying one more attempt before the june 10th board meeting because we do want to have an opportunity to celebrate them and then two last comments one having to deal with the budget committee i so appreciate the fact that mr schulenberg and cindy kunkel put together the budget committee and the people that have participated i know that we have two board members that are on that committee and we've we've really come a long way in in as a team understanding the process by which the um administrative um division puts together a budget for three years and what the questions are and then the final comment it has to do with um some activities that cabinet and i participated in on tuesday after returning from memorial day we were contacted by uh the san
026bernardino county fairgrounds they wanted us to experience showing animals like our ffa students did and so it was a bit of a competition between lucerne valley um leadership apple valley leadership and snow wine leadership and i want to share first and i'll stop browsing mr um conrad after this board meeting but this is mr conrad's participation ribbon this would be my fourth place ribbon um mr schulenburg got a sixth place ribbon and mr um schlosser took first place in showing and showing what they called lambs but they were very large sheep and um i will tell you that those kids put a lot of work into this and they trained us up in about 15 minutes and then let us free without leads or anything and how to show the animals and so this is
027going to be an annual event and next year we will invite you to come watch us in our our dilemma they tell us that they're going to up the ante with what kind of animal we get to show next year um but apple valley likes to have fun but we also like to compete so um we we took the sweeps for the most part good job [Applause] mrs so do you have a comment wilson you have a comment i don't have any comments the only thing possible to say is that my youngest daughter the last question from high school dr catherine so she checks me said do you guys really have a graduation so i saved and used the good job mr bender i'm just happy that we had in person graduation the kids really

029other side of the podium here thank you and then it's me um i'd like to take the time to congratulate all of the new hires and all those who are moving up uh i've had two weeks two board meetings that i didn't attend so i'm taking this opportunity to congratulate each and every one of you that got promoted to your new position and those that are still holding their position you can count on me stopping by to see you at at work to see what you do but when i come in don't worry i'm just there to just to give you a tap on the shoulder if it is okay at that time just to let you know that i notice your work i notice what you're doing at your individual schools for this coming
030school year my plan is to is to wear your t-shirts proudly so let me know how much it costs so that i can pick up a t-shirt from each of their schools with their logo on it and i have no problem whatsoever in wearing those to celebrate your students and to celebrate you i'm hoping you have a wonderful summer if you can rest but just know that you have a good support system sitting on this podium that will be there if you call them thank you for all of your years of service and months of service and dealing with covid and now we are getting ready to return thank you so much it's time for public hearing we'll conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed budget for the apple valley unified school district for the
0312021 2022 school year time opened is 308 any comments there are no public comments submitted at this time [Music] so we're going to close it at 308 number two conduct a public hearing to solicit the recommendation and comment of the public regarding the expenditures proposed in the three-year 2021-2025 local control accountability plan for the district called the lcap by mr schlosser time opened 308 and i'll just say briefly that although this says to solicit public comments um you know by the presentation last time that we have um well-documented and extensive stakeholder input in this process that does not in any way limited to this meeting in fact the entire document is really generated by that group that helps to build it and so there's been no significant change since that day the document is posted
032with a link this time and it will stay that way that's the way the california department of education has provided the service of giving input on the template side so that the business office and my department can put in the information but then it displays nicely for parents and then if there are adjustments we can make those adjustments without having to take a pdf down and reposting a new pdf so it will remain a web link on our website so that families can look at the budget overview for parents and the lcap document and of course we'll continue to solicit input for each year the one other thing i'll mention is that this lcap is unique in that in the annual update portion we are both updating the 2019 lcap and what we believe uh
033what we could in the 1920 school year and the 2021 unfortunately titled lcap that stood for something else it was the um learning continuity and attendance plan which had a totally different format and so you will see a dizzying array of information inside that link um the new plan is at the bottom and that's how that will work and so i just wanted to clarify the way the structure of the document is and then also just to say that the input from the families has been well heard and represented thank you now and for that particular one will people be able to get to the dashboard and see the most current sl cap the lcap district the dashboard is a different link and the the lcap link does not automatically provide a dashboard link but
034we do however as you know this particular year there's not much on the dashboard as soon as there is we'll continue to use that in fact all the dashboard metrics are lcap metrics thank you so much time closed is 3 11. discussion action session it is recommended that the board of trustees discuss and take action on the following items approve the certificated and classified personnel actions as listed i need a motion i'll move the item all in favor number two approve the requested leaves as noted move the item second all in favor item j consent i agenda it is recommended that the board of trustees consider approving a number of agenda items as a consent list consent items are routine in nature and can be enacted in one motion without further discussion this procedure conserves
