007school there's a lot of work that goes into Monday internetworking the only one community and support and we realize the important investment education for our children and we're going to show our appreciation and gratitude involved doing our part we have known the district to consider moving our kids to different other amenities we might have not have to have to be an improvement that they would only end over here [Applause] [Music] most relaxed industry and when she would also mean [Music] [Applause] [Music] high school [Music] [Applause] [Music] I have I attended the 7-eleven committee meeting last week and just you know nobody has been picked they're actually these there's a group of people that are students that are teachers administrators parents members of the community they were people we're not doing it they are and they
008are being presented and they're being very very meticulous and very very picky and asking a lot of questions but one of the thing was I heard from them when I was at my meeting is anybody here from all of you so we have the meeting on the website this Friday at 3:30 at district office and the PVC meeting okay they'll there will be a meeting if you'd like to come in and talk and you know 3:15 thank you so they want to hear as much input from you as possible so I would suggest that everybody who wants to go talk and that way we had engaged all of you the entire community so that they can make a really reasonable decision and of course Lisa Hager it all works out it works out that's a
009tough job but thank you and I appreciate all the time that you all put into your schools and remember those days so and your son is not oh I'm a journey right now yes I just noticed the Bank of Israel one of us was inhabited and beautiful the connection and engagement and some creating different classes and the outside so I also was part of the whole 7-eleven Service Committee which I attended just over Sedona process I was fishing for you it is vital again everything said the stakeholders to make sure that this whole process is meaningful in the sense that it's been vetted through all of the interested parties who may or may only be impacted from the whole decision ultimately right so we're waiting for that process to complete obvious thing from there it's
010a comfortable based on recommendation that the committee is forward so and for me I'm much going to detail so when we talk about process as we had seen one of the commission members wanted to do instead of being worried about why I voted against last time for me is the attention to detail right so when I evaluate something I want to just see the results not that we doubt what the outcome is as to whether or not we've done everything possible to make sure that we are examining the intent and the objective is to save on the budget okay elimination what is aspect of that is the same on cause the same if we're now gonna have that detailed information I'll have questions about those things right so if we collectively deciding to say that
011there's gonna be savings so show me how the other component evidence that the data the data adjust shows the fact that if it's low enrollment so what does this tell us is it the fact that it's low enrollment because what the facts show as it states or was it there's something that we haven't done in our part to make sure that what has been reflected in the data is the accurate data so if it's not 100% accurate reflection of what the students do and what they decide I am questions about them so visiting the lgbtq and the student driven committee I evaluated and I just saw a lot of the interest in the service that's lacking in our district in my heart I would never subject a student I'm always willing to have much more
012services within our community so look no matter how much that's going to impact the budget I would just sort of do all the best that I can to make sure that we save those a budgetary standpoint okay so how much how many of those are being impacted that we're gonna assess from the budget so some of those positions are also made by already so what is the breakdown you know that and because I think important information and discussion to have again the process is in the detail so the other thing is timeline yes March 13 is a deadline yes so we do have a one to one ratio about our temporaries that we hire and fire every year could there have been a system in which we have evaluated that perhaps that board would have
013decided to lower that ratio to something else so that's another question that I have which has not been provided to me as well so mr. Williams thank you for bringing it up so that this helps you clarify the whole situation as what my rationale is in my decisions so again when it comes to the budget and money or any sort of situations that's convicted connecting my decision my above I did my part to make sure that I have the rationale so we're coming off of two very comfortable meetings to eighth grade students here at no point did you provide those recommendations to this board the suggestions the solutions this body we are a governing body of five people not five individual people making our own decisions in support that is very worrisome to me and
014it's unfortunate that you can stick here and you can stayed up I'm done being quiet about this issue I think it's unfair to the four of us that at no point unfair to my children to the children in this community that had no point did you share that with us I was shocked at this bass board meeting shocked because that information was provided to us that data was provided to us the numbers this was not a surprise to us we knew that this was coming I am in complete shock right now and I will apologize to the community because we have failed you we have and we have done that because we have failed at messaging we have allowed social media and Facebook to tell our story not the story of these children the administrators
015are the beautiful people and the talent and the educate the education that exists within these walls of these schools we haven't done that instead we will not other people the naysayers that they get the negative people out there that have put misinformation out there and and on our attorney students await if I was at heart and not in this phone I started off as a PT PT PT putting cutting paper in the classroom and I and and at some point I said you know what I do want to make a difference I want to see my children succeed I want to see your children succeed why because my kids are growing up with your kids so I did want to make a difference when I came on this board four years ago going on five
016years ago the perception of this district was negative negative I read I read the social media post I read the websites and it was all negative negative negative negative fun till I stepped foot in a classroom and in a school and I saw that the teachers were quality teachers incredible that my children are thriving so now we're here and I've said you know what for the last four years all of us have said collectively you know we need to tell our story we need to make sure that you have that information so that you can you can see what our schools are doing because that's gonna retain students if I'm a parent and I'm reading when I'm reading on social media I'm gonna go to the neighboring school district five kids near our school district
017that's that's it that's a teacher salary right there by a kid's neat imagine that and if I'm reading when I'm reading out there in social media and it's all false information gonna leave I'm gonna go and if your community member and you have you have any state in this community about the good of this of this of this district use your voice in a positive way don't come to it don't come to a board meeting and take apart the work the incredible work that these teachers are doing that our parents are doing that's not fair to them it's not fair it's wrong it's an injustice because you're taking money away from these students that's what you're doing so when you go out there trying to show you know and the people of Emily who have
018recently undergone scrutiny not everybody and MOT is guilty of all the things that I'm reading there are men and women good men and women that I feel like terrible because of all this negativity that is going that they have to show for work good people trying to make a living but because we've spun this around we ordered that body we ordered that investigation white because we knew that we needed to go in there we needed to D we knew that so take your voice and use it in a positive way because dirt what you're doing is a disservice to the state people we're trying to protect I have kids in this student and in this district and do teachers that have my kids in your classes you know my kids are good kids you know
019that and if you're one of the teachers if it has my head Pat has had my one of my and you think that I'm here trying to take away something funny that is that is a shame that is a shame so I'm done being quiet and you're right to Anna Williams thank you very much for your input tonight because you're right we do need to start speaking out we do need to start talking even though if it's a once ourselves in order to get the job done don't keep your opinions to yourself you share that we aren't a collective board if you want to work together you want to be a teen soon and that's be a team plate and then suite team players but don't pick up the ball tennis school and see the
020four fitters there perform on the Gold Rush these kids I've memorized ten songs it sounded beautiful in a very short period to see the kind of incredible work happening in our schools both see the students at Hodge I was able to meet on Friday I was reading them a book about Sonia Sotomayor I was trying to read in English in Spanish in Spanish in that circuit one of the kids in front of ever having to help me but I was reading it I was reading the book and all of a sudden this kid raises him it's these are second graders he's really excited so I stopped in half and he's like you just said a simile right I know that when I was in second grade I didn't know what a simile was great the
021things that these kids learning are incredible so saying that I also want to thank you Paul in question because we as board members we have a luxury the opportunity of being able to ask whatever questions we want we have the opportunity to ask for whatever data information that we want when we make decisions and yes I'm speaking directly to Paul because we have that luxury in open session in closed session we have an obligation to ask for all the information that we need and we don't so you have that opportunity to make clarifying ask that many questions and ask for more information or data you chose not to you chose to remain silent you chose to nod and affirmation that you agreed with the board who see what the board was doing and so I
022appreciate that today you are many people know why you voted no but what I would appreciate it better is that if you had thought we had other opportunities other solutions and you felt the data was lacking that you made it very clear in the meeting so that that data could be provided to the clarity that you need it so that you can make a decision and so that all the court can understand that what we go through all the same level of understanding so saying that I just want to reinforce what what might call date Helen had amigo said and that these are students are never easy as I said last meeting I'm never going to pretend like I can understand the way I feel it would be feel to be the student who's losing
023they're losing the program or the teacher who feel like they're I will never pretend that I can and that I will understand it but what I do understand is that ultimately we have to make decisions that are going to affect your lives and so it's our obligation one to do our due diligence and make sure that we're doing that we've explored all options possible and - thank you for pointing this out and this is where as we're coming that we are very clear about those decisions so people understand the rationale and I think we've heard very clearly tonight that we have not been clear about that and try things up we had now have an opportunity to change that and to make sure that we are clear and be communicate with not only communicate towards
024you but we also listen right so that there's a process that people under tuned 'ti to engage so I will just wrap up with saying this I want to talk to people about the figure out report because somebody came up and and talked about fraud yes we did order that we asked and the more it asked for this to happen and the very first sentence or a couple centers in the in the in the report says there was no fraud found so I just want to make that question everyone understand there was no fraud found it did it did highlight issues in our systems and like like how they said we knew that and so we were hoping that somebody when these that kind of expertise that justice across the state could come in and
025highlight that for us so that we can improve what we do and so what I see this very part is is a roadmap for how we can make sure that our our MOT our maintenance operate transportation are the best they can pop grated me so I just went in with that and I want to say I appreciate all of you being here and end with I cannot say I cannot say how much I appreciate our students that performs at the beginning of tonight and especially to key our students speaking in English and Spanish better than I could ever speak I hope that I see my son in that place in three to four years so thank you and the the Garden Club thank you for the herbs and the siblings that would be see but
026I also want to say that I went to the high school for the portly who's a rotary on each context and the three students did a fantastic job on their topic I they have to select one like you know there's winners and losers but me they were all winners they all get a fantastic job I would just hear a high school speaker which of the interns from APU use a Wellness Center on on Duncan there are three parents regarding the effects of drugs and what drugs do to their you know what drugs did to you on when they're under in tonight's without the parents recognizing your tech many questions it or not not understanding you know what are they doing but they're mighty the key should happen at every little school in and high school
027that these students should go to for me to you I want to thank you for your partnership this is a great job I was just lost in middle school the CPI M MEarth workshop where parents teamed up and they did math problems they interact with each other to help each other understand the content of the CPM math [Music] with their child is tonight leaves called going to ducks at my school with the current entry to seek an class and they want to know you know I want to teach you're not working with the students in a wire they seen eight floors but I think it's great to think that the math problems on their own so they knew what their child is doing so I want to thank the dosa a Tracie Spencer and the
028community liaison Veronica Casillas they did a great job in the parents I think that they did a great job I take the parents understood it a little more my even seeing the parents asking questions that each make there were student you know so what happens if we do list it and the teacher many teachers are this tota was explaining to them how it work so I think it's important that we you know show our parents with the future who in custody we do have the Common Core we do have the math and you do have any programs and don't use better understand these communication John I just know my mother all the other things but I think that we need to be able to teach children but also keep the teacher there are certain parents
029I went to Paul Longfellow picked Hans Murray school and I read to the students and birthdays all these pita bread knives very festive since we had cookies with 118 to mr. look mr. belly Dale can you work the whole costume with even the white I don't want to say masculine makeup had makeup on and everything and I think that that was really good I wonder they don't even know that we do have great things going on here at a USC I do read Facebook and I'm very disturbed that I well I cannot respond and I will not respond but I wish parents or all these people that are on Facebook could come here let me speak up or get into the things that we are doing here that is losing any fight statistic I want
030to thank all the students and and the parents and you know they spoke up today and voice their concern I think it's great that they come in here because you know we need to hear from you you really do the I want to I do think that as Diana Williams mentioned we need to be more transparent we need to not only notify the parents that attend that their children attend this revision we also have to the community to the community or taxpayers it ancient beasts coupons in cases all the new things that are going on in our school sites I didn't more transparent rather this is what we do and are now going to be at City Hall and those meetings are televised the next day you may proceed on YouTube so you could hear
031and see what we say we're here and see what they do or if you have questions you know what are our emails are on the website you could ask any questions that you want I mean I'm sure all of us are always available to speak to you and you want to speak on we've got a concern that you have you know and and does that mean like you mean and it's true you know there is no decision you know if your body one more time like I said I I think they say what the only Facebook did not you get upset you know don't read it you know what I want to read it I wonder because I want to know what you're saying I want to know how I can respond I wanna know
032how I could answer you or the doctor community as ever known so she knows what can we do about this you know what we need to do is we keep it in the bud we need to let people know what we're doing you know because really has a rumor that's very true I do have to mention their merit a USB well you don't care about the kids you don't care about the teachers you know I'm retired 20 years of service in a children high school and Garden City Rose me so yes I do care about students and you know I would probably make decisions on kissing people to the people here I want India Marcus regions and I was excuse me employee I was a job steward a union steward so I get it you
033know what I was on that site at some time and I totally understand but now on this side and I have to see the big picture I want to I ran through scooper things I wanna see what's going on it's important that we know you know I read this and then now I understand you I make the decision already here and trust me we don't make decisions because we don't like kids or because you want to be mean or because we don't like your school better let me do it trust me so we do work very hard as a team trying to work together and I understand why wouldn't you say that the main they're hard but you know what we do we put it hard we don't do it we don't like anybody [Applause]

036to share with you first of all I wanted to thank the mountain GaN parents and mostly the students and the staff or what they presented to us tonight I have to say every time I come to this school there is always something good to see always something to to notice about the involvement of the parents the dedication of the teachers the wonderful kids that are here at this school and you deserve a lot of credit thank you very much for having us here really really appreciate it I also want to share that the other day I had a chance to walk into a teacher professional development session that was going on our our teachers all at all grade levels are implementing new textbook this year for language arts reading language arts reading and writing and
037they got some training before they even received books but they're continuing throughout the year to deepen their understanding of the work and to share with each other what they're doing and to to work together to develop lessons soon and pay attention how the kids are responding and adjust so that the kids are gonna learn as much as possible and I haven't and to the training for the first grade teachers which was a joy to me because I used to be a first grade teacher and I told something I was actually a little bit jealous because I wish I could be teaching that textbook and working with the kids at that age but what impressed me most was how rich the conversation was in each table there were probably about eight tables in the room with
038anywhere from four to maybe six or eight teachers at the table talking about what they were doing with the students how the students were learning and I had a chance to talk to each group of teachers about what they thought about the program how well the kids were responding to it and I have to really thank them because it's a lot of work to implement a new curriculum but they were there they were doing it and very pleased general with what they were seeing with the students so thank you to the teachers and Thank You mr. Tager for leaving the adoption process because it was very thorough and I think what happened was it ended up there was a lot of input from teachers for the selection of the textbook which meant that they really
039knew what they were getting and had a chance to look at many different approaches and relieve determine what was best for students so thank you it's actually much more advanced than what I talked when I was in first grade what I taught is now taught kindergarten standards have been raised so much higher that things that I didn't think my six-year-olds could learn or now paint mastered my five year olds and what the five year olds used to learn a long time ago is now being mastered by the four year olds we didn't I think one of the players came up and talked about her her son raining already at level six right in kindergarten somebody mentioned that yes yeah that used to be a golden first grade [Music] that's the joy actually being a teacher
040those upgrades because you see so much progress in the kids so thanks for sharing the story now the other thing I wanted to talk to you about just briefly is how how is it that the board is finding themselves at the situation where we have had to talk about reducing staff and the possibility of proposing a school the state our state maybe has made a decision over many many years about how much money to give schools and a long time ago in the 1970s our state used to fund schools we were in the top ten of the nation now we're number 46 out of all 50 states so we have dropped from being really well funded to being at the bottom here again of course we as parents and as administrators and teachers we still
041want that same quality of education but the state has made the decision not to give us the money to implement that it's been very difficult nevertheless people have worked really hard to sustain things work work as well as they can but for example we have the largest class sizes probably in the nation we have the fewest counselors you have fewest librarians we have the fewest nurses compared to other states the fewest instructional aides in a whole bunch of indicators that as a state we haven't been allowed to continue to progress and that's been very hard in the recent years kick back to what we started in that Great Recession and that was about 2008 the state cut school systems 25% of the budget born in any other sector of the state's more than health care
042more than persons more than anything else in the state for the state they cut the schools the worst and eventually they realize that as we were all struggling and they made a promise to raise our funding and the promise was to raise the funding not to wear me were in the 1970s in the top 10 but to get us back to where we were in 2007 and 2008 now which one of us would like to have the same salary that we have 2007 right now you know medical costs have gone up we know insurance has gone up we know Carcosa product where treat those have gone up everything has risen and what we each got in 2007-8 you wouldn't buy us as much as what the costs are now but that was the plan of
043our state to get us back to where we were in 2007 8 and on top of that they gave us extra meals to paint that we don't have to pay before so we're not really that I said earlier sometimes before they that's why we're in this situation it's because we're funded by the state and the state has made decisions not to fund schools the way they used to so the workman asked that we put together a committee of people of budget committee and we have had over the last couple of years we've had a parent advisory group to help guide the expenditure of some of the funds of the district gets and the board said you know we want you to expand that and have it look at all the funds that are used for
044the basics the lights the textbooks them you know the repairs that we need and so mr. right they got him in working with parents and we expanded that group to focus on all the budgets and mr. Barbarita was involved with that too and parents from every single school and administrators and teachers and classified everybody was part of I'd say 40 45 people on that committee more or less 18 schools that's 36 right off the bat who came together for a series of day-long rumors to understand the budget look at it in detail ask whatever question they wanted about what exactly are you spending this $77,000 on what is it doing present news isn't a salary is it a a textbook that you want what music and in front them they make recommendations of how we
045can cut the budget so that we do not basically in in education they say so we can be solvent three years out we have to prove to the county and the state that we compare our bills this year next year in the year after always for three years it's it's like saying that it was ourselves but you have to prove that men will not be bankrupt in three years and what we have to prove especially is that by the end of three years we have enough money saved up for what's called a three percent Reserve we have some money in a bank account 3% okay that might sound like a lot to you however 3% pays for about eight weeks of salary and you all you all have probably heard that most financial experts will
046say and you as you me all of us as individuals we should have three to six months worth of savings because we never know what's going to happen might you know the car might go out or there we might collapse or something could happen school systems are being asked to have it three weeks of savings at a minimum and that's what we're trying to get you but to get to that we realize that we have to tighten our belt and our schools have this year we've asked people try not to spend money can you wait a little bit if you need something if it's essential go ahead and get it but if you could wait please do in our schools say two and a half a million so that we would have some more money
047to afford here but this committee recommended not only that we make these savings but that they realized we're probably going to have to lay off teachers and it was this committee that recommended parents teachers administrators classified everybody on that committee said you're going to have to make some reductions in staffing because of the finances and because fewer students are here you have to adjust for number of students that you have the same group said you need to like at closing schools that was not something that the board said it came from it came from the community the parents the staff saying we can't if we don't close a school then we're not going to be able to provide the supplies that our students need don't be able to provide but the textbooks that they mean
048we won't be able to give them what they need to to have the regular strong education that we want them to have welcomes no programs are being cut so for example people have said well gee this is a beautiful school here now here was a wonderful day immersion program nobody has decided that Mountain View will be the school to be closed but if it was people said well does that mean the end of door ownership answer's no if we have to close the school to kids the teachers and the programs just go to another mushroom with the kids and the teachers and the parents stain that was one of the problems we have to deal with him ceiling tiles from time to time if you're sitting by their please move off to the side the
049obits is for safety thank you so this gentleman has a question then you know that's a real I agree that's an important question and what it gets down to is the state has about five food sectors that they fund it may for schools they pay for social services for the people they need for medical for number of people they pay for prisons and they pay for you know bones and things like that the legislators make the decision each year and how much money goes to education and many years ago there was a a bill was passed that said that education should add some minimum before the least amount of money that it takes a state to learn our educational system here is 40 percent of the budget of the state that is supposed to be
050the memo however you know what that's been the maximum that we've ever bought ever and then on top of it that an extra cost [Music] you know I hear that's a fair question those are good questions question so many times is loud to your legislators because they're the ones that make the decisions so I really love you asked that question because I just want to taste everything right I think I wanna put this in context California when you look at the California economy by itself it is big it is the fifth largest economy in the world right it's bigger than other changes so when you see this fool are not budgets that is a political decision by our state not to fund schools and so I would say there's a couple of things that you
051can do right now there is a group that is circulating a petition to have an initiative in the apt up and in November 2018 ballot to do what's called a split role so what it would do is it would start tax it would right now property taxes with prop 13 the pass which limits the property taxes that you can't as a homeowner or a property owner it limits how much you pay right when it when it first went to effect a corporate properties made a lot more than residential properties because corporate properties don't be change hand over the years houses now carrying the bulk of that responsibility and corporations are not so there's an initiative and people can sign the paperwork or help get signatures to put them put something on the ballot called the
052split roll where it would have corporate property to be taxed at today's rates and so it wouldn't affect any homeowner it wouldn't affect any residential piece but that is a start because that money would go directly to our schools so that's a start that's not enough money but it isn't something where people can start and so I encourage you if you're interested to find out more about it I'm happy to share how to get involved but that is one step but the answer is if our legislature and our political people at the state level do not hear from us then they're not going to change right they need to know from us that it's not acceptable what they're doing you talked about the federal government we get about 10 percent of our budget from the
053federal government mostly it's given to us for students that are low-income or special ed or English learners right with special ed the federal government has put requirements on us to make sure that we provide an education for all students there that that needs assistance which is right we should be doing that they've never given us the money to do it so every time we have a student that needs to have issue that has has on your hands an IEP or needs that cost more than we get for them that comes out of our general function that means money from other students that we can be spending on them you spend on that because the federal government is not paying for that amount that we are Congress needs to hear that that is not acceptable our
054president needs to hear that that I encourage all of you to doing engagement I'm happy to work with you and we are happy to work with you but it's about politics the conversation so so there's and I'm happy to share a ministry there's a professor this of a demographic study for Ally counties and what his study shows is that until at least the mid-2020s the birth rate and the number of children from 0 to 18 is declining in our in our in our Hall County so it's the impact is uneven so that means that some districts to lose more students and others some Sun and some districts that are staying like at level it's most likely because they're there recruiting some students from neighboring school districts but even for example in Dora who we think
055of is I was growing last year they were flat and even lost a couple students even with eating students coming from outside of their school district so this is their so this is an issue who he Nevada last year had the closer school to schools you may have seen in the newspaper so this is something that's affecting countywide Pasadena right now looking at closing five schools in this year so this is something that not only affecting our districts doesn't does it take away from the fact that in affecting our students in our classroom no it does not but I but I think we've been getting back to the point earlier we need to do a better job communicating with you the bigger picture and connecting it to so to the specter she pretend I didn't
056make a tickle thank you very much you know maybe one of the ways since people do have questions one of the nice things we have to do is maybe think about it Gen Y Z so we can really talk some more about it in depth and what I would suggest is if you have questions write the Alvis email them to me or send it to my secretary and what we'll do is we'll attend dynamo when we can talk about this little more trying to answer some more of the questions that you might have [Music] sure thank you thank you actually one of the one of the challenges it's actually been finding dates when all the members of the committee can meet at the same time so at the last meeting they decided where the next
057meeting world will go and so we were just at gendai so you know we should probably as soon as we know that they you know send out a flyer or most at some place for it won't get better than that [Music] it's [Music] [Applause] [Music] so I just encourage that because I will say what can we do right what can we do at the local level there's clearly plenty of it a couple years ago voters came out and they approved ninety two million dollars in a bond for our schools part for our facilities if we continue if we continue to us how can they do about the school district when it comes time to go vote to go to go vote for another bond because we do the money for our schools we see it
058I mean we can just have a title all right now we do need that we do need the money the state's not going to give it to us but if our community has seen all this negative misinformation and not the positive we're not we're not going to we're not going to be able to deter our community that we need things so there's something the temperament okay [Music] well okay so I'll end here just because move on but I hear you okay I completely understand and again like I said earlier we need to do a better job of messaging we need to do a better job getting that information out there so we know that okay and Tim you're here and I hope that you're listening to some of the concerns this is our public informations
059officer right here so this is a person right here that is going to listen to what we've heard today and hopefully give that information thank you thank you very much okay so now we're moving on to report 9.0 report action the closed session matters weren't like that one said it better student number 17-18 [Music] soon as they could [Music] if you can yeah if you can maybe have a sidebar with these parents motion pacified Sarah tonight one around ten point one this is first reading a minute for dialogue nine nine zero one two board member they try to communications to be having a discussion changes be reading that day okay seeing none we'll move on to ten point two this is a first reading amended board by a long nine one to one this is
060the board president do we have any changes discussion suggestions okay now moving on to ten point three this is a first reading committed work by a loss ninety one two three moving on to ten point four this is a first reading of Benin court by law 19150 student board members do we have any change in recommendations suggestions [Music] July the way it's worded is permissive so that a term of student or member shellby up to one calendar year so it could be a maximum of one year or it could be something separate than if you you know the board would like to specify that our practices can have three board members would like it turn into three parts we can do that we're having it be what we actually do 10.6 for treating limited or
061Pylos night to to zero governing board collection do we have the change of questions moving up to ten point seven the first reading elimination of board bylaw like two to one recruiting new board members we have any questions okay we'll be down to ten point eight for eating the vented work by along nine two two two resignation do we have any special changes done 10.9 first reading amended or by law by two two three [Music] mr. depression there is a research work there is another board policy that does specify for example depending on wake somebody when there wouldn't be makin see to me how close it is to the selection whether or not there's an election for them fulfilling that orphan its appointee so let me research that for you so then let me clarify
062them what is your question so do you mean for example are you thinking process of is somebody were to resign and there needs to be an election what would happen versus somebody resigned and there would be an appointment so I mean have you seen it happen in other districts in recent years the decision at the board [Music] and then typically what I've seen happen if the board decides it has the option to appoint somebody they'll advertise so let's say people ready just and in the interview 10.10 pertree committed work by a law 92 regional orientation to 10.11 red fighting for number three can you help me understand what the information you would like please this is part of the center middle school underground utilities project and the HVAC budget replacement and according to the law
063there were five situations that were encountered during that process one was some soil it had to be loaded all the weight more than was expected one was reconnecting a storm drain to the Edison bulbs one was a new breaker that was required and running some tears through some electricals like to the computer lab that was one expected and the new confidence in a wire that was more than expected and some irrigation of the house that we really needed to maybe based these were all discovered during the drama during the process the construction yes that ship has described zero moving on to them in plain sight calendar you level point one Oh matters this [Music] it's a calendar passes by zero the 11:23 now becomes it is for these schools we're actually increasing the number of
064hours they're each receiving an equal amount of hours how they're distributing those among their staff vary by school in other words one school may have four employees and say I am interested in working additional hours while another school may say I only have three employees that are interested in working addition two hours based on other commitments such as other employment so it's been receiving an equal number of hours how they distribute them as so those are the employees that are been working extra hours and that's what my explanation about it's not that they have four feet or two is that four three and two are interested in working additional hours so they have they each have more units than that number per se and its team if you're hearing maturity good for you to chime
065in if there's anything else that you'd like to add to that no I think your explanation is death so that's not the number of ADEs they have as the number of interested in working additional hours we have a first name of a second motion passes five-0 the waveform is down south to wait a second these photos open for discussion okay [Music] but I just lottery pieces that reporters recommending that we include every time we improve consultants one of the specific objectives become both accomplished by the team : - this is Pacific tasks performed three the procedures to be used in carrying out the tasks for the target so my question is are in this detail [Music] demonstrates that and transparency that we are so we're shifting immediately we're working on it now new forms the
066FPPC provides in addition to the form 805 that we're asked to fill out we're going to now require that our consultants that most consultants fill out a form 700 as well so we are going to shift to answer those questions I'll make a note of that and in our practices shifting now so we are going to revisit with which are the information to request it so that our practice reflected I'll check that we're making every effort to immediately comply with the auditors and first I'm second you get to vote you did so you have your students inside as is phi0 I yes okay maybe not to fire is now [Music] it's on page I don't have a lot of details I suspect it's the Pearson model for assistant high school master schedule yeah I believe
067that's correct the and what this is for is even recover for meetings or a while ago we had an agenda fight of super high school one have some training on developing master schedules and this is going to do [Music] was a fence that was added [Music] we have any other first we have a student these patients agent SS poser because [Music] so we function we auction off the vehicles [Music] they've started offering well but it's yes we do Oh [Music] please yes [Music] the option you said option but school district on the outside [Music] sir-sir we know what we can do is you can get your information and we will follow up with you unfortunately we can't respond to public comment outside of an agenda item so but if you can take Darren's information you
068can give them a call and you'll be more than happy to speak with 13.1 first reading the vetted board policy I went for one click for child abuse prevention every portion we have any questions changes suggestions a student would come in with a medical plan doctor's orders it depends on the medication if the doctor says we have many students for example who are diabetic we were able to monitor their own insulin they could do it by themselves just under the eye or someone else it all depends on what the doctors ordered that healthy that's a job that they hired depends on there are some things that they help they camped medication that oh that I hope they can give to the student there are others that they can so it just depends on the medication
069it's like the nurses who trained all of the health aides are trained by the nurses we have other staff members that are trying to like EpiPens that would not be allowed on a cowboy for medication that's fine but a cowboy can't be used it's still illegal federally even though states approve it it's against federal law to address that exact issue and their dinner bar only I can't Colorado's already adopted at the state level procedure and policy so I know that three frustrating bended board policy and administrative regulation [Music] - appreciated for policy and administrative regulation 8r6 one back out there to play fortress reanimated where policy administrative regulation 501 44.1 suspension and expulsion due process the changes we're creating a bit more policy and eliminating administrative regulation the our six one five one process 13.6
070Migrant Education California Science Center field trip resolution 17-18 wishes essence phaser okay moving on to 14.0 Human Resources 14.1 approve the tentative agreement between Azusa you know makes for this dream and the California School Employees Association my friend yes mr. passes 5-0 Thank You 14.2% of agreement between as you see Unified School District in California School Employees Association Azusa chapter 299 we advise a pacified personnel performance reports second play when she passes 5-0 thank you very much 14.3 public disclosure of proposed competition increased for management supervisory and confidential employees what are the wishes of the first place opinion any questions so previously with the teachers association with AEA we approved the settlement agreement for the 1617 school year the management confidential employees have a meet to clause so anything that's that getting teachers get so
071does management and confidential so this is related to health and welfare benefits the 1617 school year when it was a Jenna proved by the county under a be 1200 it was included but it wasn't agendized appropriately so what we're doing is making sure that is explicitly agendized in order to satisfy the with that requirement we shared this with a bargaining table with AEK the community understood and helped spread the word to make sure everybody understood it's nothing new it's just what was approved previously with begging for the 1617 school year so it was a gem guys when we approved it 488 was a DA and the documents did include management confidential but the agenda item did not explicitly mention management and confidence we wanted to make sure that that was explicitly clear and that's what
072we're doing today I didn't notice him in the letter from the lake oh they're pointing out that they remind the district that increases future years are uncertain the Board of Education regulations require specific views so they're just saying basically make sure that we keep an eye on things and watch our spending even though they are going to approve what we've already done just remind us you [Music] we should pass this 5-0 we are now on 14 platform with this now opens the public hearing with of proposed compensation increase for management supervisory and confidential employees do we have anyone here with we should pass is phi0 moving out to 14.5 approve the post competition increase for management's confidential employees 14 6 first reading submitted administrative regulation they are unfortunate agree to reasonable accommodation how many changes
073discussion see them moving on to 14.7 this is another first readings of a minute board policy for zero for zero an employee use of technology we have any questions discussion so you know movie knots at fourteen point eight this is consider approval of consultant defensive projects theater group resolution 17 that's 18 the wishes of the question [Music] where can I find that this information flow so actually it's on our website if you go to the website there is a drop down website there's a drop down menus you'll be able to patiently waiting and waiting but I really like to ask about this is it was like all there I'm a little bit I just wanted to know the people I know you're not in charge of what school different clothes but said we need getting
074hired to do it are they going to also be at that other meeting Lusine school district after PDC are they given either the people that are actually in charge yes we're doing it again just because yeah we'll make sure we get your information right now we will follow up with you too even tonight if somebody wants to maybe put her side tighter that would be that would be great but we're more than happy to give you them to give you that information thank you you're welcome motion passes 5:01 14.8 okay and we're on Business and Finance 15.1 approve resolution 17-18 enacting and formal bidding procedures of under the California uniform public construction cost accounting Act discussion [Music] sure in part of the reform that we're trying to update our policies that way we can have
075an additional flexibility and being able to address issues that our schools quickly but also at the same time make sure that we're free from any I guess single source leaders or emergency items that come up where we're kind of locked in with a single option so this process allows us to or actually demand that we set forth a list screen in all the categories of Public Works and every year we would establish that list would be approved and those would be the folks that we can go to for items that are less thousand dollars for projects and all those vendors we can choose to do informal practice of bidding so we can go to have one two or three of them vetted and a bit it's over that amount there's full bidding process we should
076be posting it in the newspaper in the journals - those lines [Music] yeah [Music] what is their current level so our current threshold is $5,000 so anything over 5000 we go to a degree bidding process and then anything that's that's over $18,000 we go to but the difference with this we're adding to prefilter list and then we would have an established list of vendors that we vet no interest their license so so - my question is so so this is this little is that we would they managed so I would say [Music] I appreciate that especially right now maybe the audio issues conservative potentially people have been funding the process [Music] Oh [Music] so this resolution the and if I if I could share a little bit of the purpose of it really is to
077avoid the conflict of interest if something was time sensitive to avoid somebody going saying you know I know this company does this I work with her before but they are maybe not a company that the district has pre-vetted this ensures that we don't we don't go to those personal kinds of relationships but rather going through some process that that has screamed people independent emergency items that are Center those items these would be four items that make this [Music] but I usually - [Music] they're right it makes it a lot smoother when you're you're not having to any emergency bingo but I yeah this process I start date next Oh [Music] today I will be presenting our second interim report director and again just like you Joe if there's questions or this is something that we
078do every year we have two interim reports and it's a chance for us to provide detailed updates to do the community and the board and we then we also reflect this over to the label so they can see exactly where the district is at each of the reports so as far as the time I have several reports that we go over here to make sure that the community has in Fidesz to where we are with our fiscal situation June 20th and we had our first which is kind of giving everybody an idea what our budget is their plans I announced an organization and then in December we give a first interval importance which is an update as to how we're doing with our budget target / trends and again this meeting is an update to
079see exactly where we are with spending our dollars to let you know about how enrollment has affected or our protections and minsky mentioned how we're doing and meeting that 3% minimum that we need to do to declare ourselves positive certifications at the very end of the year June 30th we have our final and presentation and that's where we present the budget components so as was mentioned earlier one of the large issues that we have in this district is our declining and declining enrollment is the reason why our dollars are one of the reasons why our dollars are decreasing here per year the other one is that a state as a flat funding and after 1894 1819 were receiving literally the same dollars with the small Cola which is a cost of living [Music] but if
080you look at our enrollment where we have this decline it's increasing or accelerating over the last couple of years and using that data to kind of project forward you can see that my 1920 [Music] over 77 so that the more we work we have the same number of schools that we had that obviously the enrollment is half as it was before 2002 so why do we have this decline in the moment there's not as many people being born in our zip code is one of the primary reasons our community for a positive is is stable it just not as transient as it once was people are staying because this is a great place to live and they're not leaving and they're retiring they're staying in their homes which means they're not having young children and
081over time we will see an eventual increase in enrollment when those when those homes turn to younger families but right now our community is aging and they don't have young children in those homicide so if you look at the trend here in 1999 we had 1188 births in Amar's of growth in 2012 it dropped to 856 so huge decline in the number of kids in schools so looking at our actual numbers you can see that this year we did have a large decline in comparison to previous years which weighs heavily on our future projections of course so in 1617 or only lost 184 which is slightly better than we projected 1718 last four seventy-four kids miss again so that is a was a large number it was larger and we had projected of course rounding
082in the low number from sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen we're projecting not quite as large of a loss at three hundred and twenty four kids and we're hoping for a decline so I believe our president I lost five cases of beginning teachers pay and that's really what this chart is showing them which is as we lose our kids our parent I'm sorry our dollars are increasing so if you look at where we're at right now 1718 our funded amount we're getting $10,000 per kid so if you talk about losing five kids that's you know fifteen fifty almost $55,000 so that's money and using our projections which we have the kids that we have have great attendance this year at 97 percent or attendance we calculate that out and we get the dollar amount how much money
083in the district is getting and it's based another see about the mouth so we're projecting as we get it eighty six and point seven million dollars this with our increase in enrollment as a moment increase in attendance that number is going to jump from our original budget to three hundred and eighty nine thousand dollars more than what we had rejected earlier in the year before we had didn't you attend sorry enrollment attendance up to ninety seven percent in 1819 were again looking to increase our funding by another eight hundred and sixty two thousand dollars so overall we're we're doing better because we have increased our attendance unduplicated student count has increased and then a little bit I'll get into what the governor has given us so our unduplicated student count is the number of students
084and then we get to count for our additional lcff dollars which are in three categories which is our yell kids our foster kids and our low-income students this year our numbers went up because of the hard work of our teachers our principals and our nutrition service workers making sure that we get all the applications or the meals in we can get those dollars for those students and I'll show you those details in a little bit and so we are getting additional dollars because of that effort but we also have additional cost due to the pension that keeps rising and so I've showed you this before and these numbers are actually a little bit lower than they were in the past and because we've calculated in the reduction in staff that was was owed to for
085a teammate and so we're we're looking at only five point four million dollars there was almost six point five million dollars in the previous estimate so we've reduced our future liabilities for pension with those reductions but overall we have in by 2021 we'll be paying thirteen million dollars still with pension cost per stirs and pers which is which is an amazing dr. Kaminsky alluded to that earlier which is the state is claiming that they're giving us a hundred percent of our lcff dollars the reality is to keep adding on bills like this which is stirs and purrs by increasing the rate that the district has to pay so prior to this we were lower than than 11% by 2021 we're going to be almost 20 percent so that that shift is eating up all those
086additional dollars that the state is game against plus so this chart is probably one of the most important ones that I'm going to present tonight because it it points to the work that we've done this year the dollars that the governor is giving us an addition for next year but the cautionary tale that we need to look out for in 1920 and so this yellow line that dips down was where we thought we were at at first in room and that's before the governor gave us additional dollars before our unduplicated count we know it's before attendance rate was realized right now in certain 96 or a 97 percent and it's before all the mid-year cuts that our schools and district office did this scary and so with those additional cuts and with the governor's new
087dollars they took it into a little bit we've changed that trajectory to this red line which looks really great for 1819 instead of a decline in overall revenue we're actually gonna see a good increase of just over a million - so that is that is great news for us for a tenant and as I mentioned to you the cautionary tale is in 19 20 and 20 21 the governor has front-loaded s the dollars for the lcff in 1819 and is in his budget right now we are flat funded from no additional dollars except for a small Cola which is a cost of living increase for 1920 and 2021 which means and all the dollars that we're going to receive will be in 18 so I'll get into the breakdown in the next slide but guess
088what they're coming in to pieces in his January proposal which is one-time funds and and the fully funded to post got that dollars which is ongoing so that's what this looks like so the one-time funds is going to be two point two seven million dollars now it's important to point out that there was one time dollars in the January budget could be realized completely different in his main update so he could say and I'm hoping you know somebody asked what we can do he could say these are ongoing and that they found the money to make them on both they're not one time and that would be great it would it be one time but right now there's two point two seven million dollars is only one time 489 the additional revenue that we're receiving
089or or fully funded lcff and I think I showed this at the last meeting is one is is an additional six hundred and forty two thousand dollars or this year and that's because of our duplicated count rising and an additional 2.8 million dollars from what we thought we were see that first dinner so that's definitely a step in the right direction with all of our positive figures the mid-year cuts and then and then recommendations that you guys have approved with our staffing levels the supplemental concentration dollars just to be clear are going from nineteen twenty five million dollars to twenty twenty six and just over a million more dollars will be in that supplemental concentration which is the the programs that are targeted for those unduplicated students you guys can see this so [Music] this
090chart here shows the other so this shows the other end which is how do we meet our three percent reserve the other chart that I showed let me back up as you can see is our revenue so how we're increasing or decreasing in revenue so we're increasing for 1819 oh we're decreasing 1920 this is the requirement that our superintendent dr. Kaminsky was talking about a meeting that minimum 3 percent reserve and right now that is our been our goal so that way we can remain A+ certification with with the state and when to come so if we start back in 1516 we had a 16 million dollar reserve which was about 15% in 1617 we were deficit spending which means that we were spending the money that we received plus dollars from this reserve in
0911718 word again deficit spending and we're spending all of our money plus money from the reserve in 1819 will be the first year that we're projecting that we won't be deficit spending and that with those one-time funds that we'll be able to brace for the flat funding in 1920 and 2021 and in 1920 we would use our reserve to soften the blow of that flat funding and again hopefully by then our governor will and our legislative will funded education at a higher level if not we'd have to continue to make some more drastic reductions but it definitely gives us a way of softening so what does that look like as far as dollars so this year in 1718 we reduced our budget in here which is a challenge by 2.5 million dollars and this year
092are we and we're still attempting to do rejections to stop and then next year we need an additional 2.5 million in cuts that number and my last all right I understand two sessions ago that number was seven point nine million dollars so we've come a long way and with the governor's new dollars and with our increase duplicated students and our increase of in attendance i'm 7.1 million dollars next year and that's because of decisions that the board is made and it put us in a better situation the following year we five million dollars to reduce and in 2021 will have an additional 2.6 million dollars to reduce in spending but we've done amazing work this year in doing everything we can to tighten our belts so that way we can cut as far away from
093classrooms as possible so over the next four years a lot of CEOs in a complaint but they keep changing their numbers and I have I have been changing my numbers and that's because the numbers but my numbers are being sung keep changing so I wanted to provide an update as to kind of the timeline as to where we were where we were and why and why my numbers have changed so at the unaudited and first interim I was worried and concerned and I came to the board we need to work hard to make reductions this year and we had five point eight million dollars to kind of the beginning of the year or 1819 we negotiated with our teachers union and provided them with a much-needed increase in benefits which we opted to do but
094it did increase that expense to seven point five million dollars the governor provided us with his updated budget which gave us those one-time funds fully funded I was to get back and that drop test from seven point one two five one million dollars and index in a credit to the governor giving us more money but it's also of course our unduplicated count went up the hard work of Nutrition Services and our teachers and kids want to go to school they want to be here they want to have a hundred percent attendance and that that exceeds the district dollars and then here we are today so how did we get from four point one to two point five million dollars in cuts needed for 1819 is the staffing reductions that you elected to do and the
095mid-year cuts that schools and the district office have this correct that is that is our projection right and now we are working to make that even lower Arturo and I go back and forth regular to doing everything we can to make sure that were being as efficient as possible and spending our dollars and I hope after the may revise and with the governor's budget [Music] so there's also other considerations back at work that we need to think about that are not included in this budget because they're too fuzzy of a number for us to calculate at this point we know that our special transportation costs are going to jump and we know that it's likely at least two times I can give you a detailed report but it is a lot small items underneath the
096base so there there are all these items it's it's reductions in overtime those reductions in materials and supplies and from all of our departments it's it's us meeting with our school sites to see what they could do and to reduce their expenditures it's none of it is on staffing [Music] okay so next is that we're still in negotiations for 1718 with both a EA and CSC a and those those items have not been settled and there potentially will be additional cost there the next additional cost item that's on there is the JPA s for both workman's comp and our liability insurance are both closing this school year so next year we will be on our own to either join another GPA or enjoying a provider or go self-insured by ourselves and so we're working to
097make that decision quickly but I know for a fact we will be paying additional dollars and there's there's no anesthetic all through those options are more expensive so I'm still waiting for some placing on the JPA replacements and so at the next port I mean yes I'm just waiting for one more vendor so we had we flew an RFP for work come and it is closed we have reviewed those proposals we have looked at which one is in the lead we're in the questioning phase with the vendor that is in the lead to determine exactly what their proposal is providing the district and comparison to what we're receiving now and and then we're going to be looking as to whether we reject all those meds or we would select that no actually so the way
098that it was written was that it was the and it's because work comp is very complicated as far as pricing so there is a cost that is associated as a set up annual fee but that is maybe a tenth of the real cost as to what we would end up paying the organization because they make a lot of their money from smaller fees that they charge on the individual basis as as claims get submitted and so that's where it becomes very complicated just to do it lowest so we do a reward and we grade each one of the vendors on that rubric and one of those of course is price okay so yes then that will be coming to very soon for the recommendation next is a positive dollars but the district could see so
099if my school was to be closed then that would be additional revenue that we estimate right now to be $500,000 per school that would be and then lastly as I mentioned before I'm hopeful and regardless of even how the state budget comes in unless we dip drastically that governor's may revise will be positive for as you say even if it's not for other districts and that's because of just rumors that come out of the governor's office that additional dollars hopefully will be thrown towards lcff and being that we're at 85% that is positive for us so we would receive additional dollars potentially and let me go back one spine fair ball [Music] unfortunately the numbers are not on there the chart that they are if you're looking below the table so what this chart is
100showing is just like what I showed at first interim how we're doing and a percent of spending on our budget so for our general fund or at 43% our total expenditures planned for the year and or over the 50 percent mark and so that is a good place to be and if we look at our next one which is our restricted or at 39 percent adult education is only at 28% our child development fund is at 38 cafeterias at 46 deferred maintenance is at 55 and self insurance is at 67% the next year what happens with that so yes most of those dollars will roll over when I say Brunson and Hyde thank you present we do have one grant that is ending but Danny's doing a good job making sure that those dollars can
101expedite oh yeah there's only a percent of the fund that we can roll over but we make sure that we're spending up to that threshold so we do not lose money so next is kind of our timeline of things left for this school year as far as budget updates or major budget updates as you guys know I come to you almost every other session and update top of the required ones in May we're gonna have the update that I'm looking forward to presenting to you guys which would be the governor's workshop positive for the district and in June we'll be we'll be going and looking at what we're gonna budget or 1819 and so that's what we look at what's left as far as remaining cuts that have to happen or 1819 school year and
102making sure that we mean our projection that minimum three percent in 2020 so just a recap and this year we are deficit spending one of the largest reasons is our declining enrollment numbers that are large larger than normal this year as the board has done and has been committed to making sure that were fiscally solvent we we're gonna work hard to make sure that every dollar is expended in the most expedient way that that we can without touching the classrooms if there was any questions on any and the funds as the party's definitions I think we depends there any additional questions [Music] dr. Chris talk about a regular turn and our regular flow is still intact and that'll all go through that process we have it all mapped out I rotate up to top of
103my head but we have it all mapped out a blank we would bring you that spreadsheet when we would bring the first round that way unlike previous years we're not we're not in an adoption anymore right so this is the first time at the outcome when we approved Alaska we approved it for three years so this is more of a update of what's happening you know we didn't yell cap but there's not the same process that little pieces gone with the whole approving in the county and all that but we will still be bringing that to you so were there any changes the dashboard in terms of no we haven't we haven't got to that point looking forward so just to be clear that it the packed bus meetings we had in the beginning of
104the year we're kind of an expansion of what the district usually does in that first section I led and we had them look at the base and plus so we could address the 18 18 so they they focus primarily on recommendations for lease and then for 18 19 those considerations recommendations so far looking forward to kind of Arturo's account and looking at planning that 1819 recommendation for changes in the crack good information and [Music] and basically all of our constituents and residents in Azusa and we've been talking about this for long we need to empower our administrators are our leaders out there our parents with with the information but is it being done we know that it's being done we know that the pack of clothes exists we know that we have PT and we
105have PT O's but how is it that we're reaching out even further than that and giving them that giving them these tools in order for them to go out there and share this information but I think it really comes down to us how are we doing it I just went on to our website right now - so what is it what is something that we could do and those are things that we need to stop and ask because after tonight what's going to happen with this information and that's we constantly now from this point on that's what we have to be thinking about how we're going to get that information out there so so this we've been on that piece I mean do you want to set like let's say for meeting we expect that
106we want to plan for how we're planning on one of the group's we want to want to have a clear message and a clear delivery systems for how we can determine information through our Disney communities we need our staff meaning our parents are especially our engage parents who already parent leaders we're engaging on other issues we heard about reading roses today the expendables work how are we getting how are we going to communicate this with them and educate them so that we can so I would what I would prefer to see is that our community is not only the third message is already out there but that the board there's something that weren't telling us what is the plan and how are we going to make sure that this is happening [Music] about having our
107meetings air stream city there were a lot of good ideas that came out of that and I feel like now that we're there and we are holding some means there what are we doing aside from that what are we going to say so that that video that went that went live worth that video go how is it that we're sharing that why aren't we doing Facebook live why so these are things that we need to make sure that we we need to tidy all this up again and and make sure that we have something solid for us and by the next morning I want to so we're being reactionary but you heard there should be put on our website and on our locations are but the time dog with the name of the median the
108others the other [Music] so a positive certification is what we cement reflecting that we have the funds needed to meet that minimum three percent reserve in three years as the presentation that I just showed you with the SEC reductions that we have scheduled we will meet that fairly the board has done their piece this year [Music] so zero [Laughter] [Music]
