001Cool. All right, it is 4:01 and we'll call the meeting to order. Uh we'll start with a flag salute. I will lead everybody today. I'll put your right hand over your heart. Ready, begin. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. Uh, roll call. Let it be known that all five trustees are present. Miss Given, Mr. Williams, Mr. Yeis, Mr. Preya, and myself. And next, we'll go to business from the floor. The board meeting is a business meeting of the board held in a public forum to comply with the Brown Act. It is not a town hall meeting with the board. This is the time for citizens to present problems
002or questions they feel the board should discuss. Individuals are encouraged to address the full board, not individual board members. The law prohibits the board from taking action on items not on the agenda. Request to speak card should be filled out in advance and presented to the superintendent's executive assistant. Instructions for submitting remote remote public comments can be found on our website busdk12.com under the tab board of trustees. The board has a policy limiting any speaker to not more than three minutes. For the record, please state your name. Do we have any at this time? Not at this time. All right. Well, it is 4:04 and we will adjourn to close session. Yes. When emergency strikes, first responders rely on the latest technology. That's why T-Mobile [Music] I have a little bit. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey,

[Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] call the meeting back to order. Uh the board has nothing to report from close session and now we I will turn it over to the superintendent for presentation and recognitions. And our first item is Barsto High School PBIS presentation. Thank you. I'm just waiting for the presentation to load. And my name is Timothy Brinkley. I work at Barstow High School. And uh I'm here tonight to to tell you a
004little bit about what we did at Barstow High School in the area of PBIS. PBIS stands for positive behavioral interventions and supports. It's a national and statewide initiative to uh improve school culture kind of like what Mr. Williams does over there for the districts. Each school has their own um contact person for PBIS. And so I just want to bring up this this report and and go with you. Um, so we uh we we did all of the paperwork and it looks like we will we are eligible for silver recognition this year, which is the next one up is gold. The next one up is platinum. And so this is my first year as the PBIS coordinator working with Mr. Navaro and Bri and the whole PBIS team of about six or seven people and
005hopefully we'll have more next year. And so this is a good um good starting point and I'm hoping to stay in this position for at least three more years. Next slide. Thank you. So one of the initiatives that uh made us successful this last year is Thrively. And Thrively is a website interface that allows teachers to see their students uh strengths to know what's strong with them instead of what's wrong with them. And um we also got our counselors on board. We had a story of uh several students being caught um not being caught but students that reported that they were not feeling well on their hope scores and we're able to bring them in for counseling and they were referred to additional services. And so we're hoping to increase the amount of students that
006use this this coming year uh up to 95% uh is Mr. Navaro's goal. And um we got up to 46% this year. And so we're also going to use it for uh ASEL um which is uh SEAL social emotional learning as well as well-being reports on a weekly basis and that kind of thing. All right, next one. One of the other initiatives we had is um we we did five field trips this year and took students on them based on their enrollment like if they had good um attendance and few absent few tardies they were eligible to go on these field trips and so Aquarium of the Pacific was one of them. Next slide please. Um Lacma was one of them. the LA County Museum of Art and the Liberia Tarfititz. It was a two
007for one kind of deal. Um, next slide, please. Um, we were able to take some students to the Lewis Center for the Sound and Music Show. And next slide, please. We also took students to the California Science Center. That was um the SPED department. Each one of these was hosted by one of the different um departments on campus. And the last one was the Ocean Institute and students were so excited to see dolphins on the boat ride. There was four different four different um sessions going on and one of the groups got to see the dolphins when they were out on the boat. And I want to share with you that these kinds of experiences is what broadens students worlds. They see stuff outside of their regular lives and they say, "Oh my gosh, maybe
008I can be here one day." you know, and so it's it's raising the level of expectation for them personally and also I believe raising the levels of hope on on campus. Next slide, please. Thank you so much, Josh. We did a classroom needs assessment in April and I I have some things to report to you. So, I'm just gonna kind of go through these really quickly. So, next slide, please. um uh a lot of the staff, you know, as PBIS, just to give context, we we want to take care of not just the students, we want to take care of the staff and as as well as the teachers. And so one of the one of the things they report is that they they're looking for more reliable technology, particular Chromebooks, issues with outdated devices,
009battery life, charging infrastructure, entering their ability, need for larger, more modern displays. And so this is all pulled straight out of that survey that we gave them. Go ahead and next slide, please. Um, a lot of teachers are asking for more flexible collaborative workspace. Um, a lot of them didn't know that the warehouse uh catalog has a lot of supplies in there that they didn't know it. We have several new teachers that said, "I need whiteboards for my classroom." And some and you know, the warehouse has those. So, we're able to connect fill in some of those missing pieces with with staff and say, you know, you already have access to this. Next slide, please. Um, a lot of teachers asked for more cabinet storage and and um like in classroom stuff and so working
010with Mr. Navaro um I've created a bunch of requisitions. He said we don't have unlimited money but you know this is a good starting point. Let's uh let's let's get them get them in the pipeline right and down the road we may be able to start like getting some of these things that teachers are requesting. We also did a student survey um asking students how they felt about cell phones because we really want to change our cell phone policy this year. And you know I don't cell phones is a big issue right now. Um and so here's some of the the results of that. 51 out of 108 47% are often distracted by their phones in class. It creates significant learning interruptions and is a shared concern among students themselves. They're saying yes we know
011it's a problem. Let's let's fix it. Next slide, please. Uh and and so we got um you know different students saying we need it ELDs need it for language learning. We have special needs students that have need it for accommodations and a lot of the students said I need to be able to contact my parents if there's an emergency and parent the parent survey is next. Go ahead and go to the next slide there. Um um one of the things they shared on that survey is that they want more interactive lessons and based on Thrively results we know that 24% are interested in music, 24 in sports, 23 in creative arts and so this next year we're trying to find some open educational resources as in free that you know are free for teachers to
012use so that we can plug them in things like um Brilliant and Adobe Express and um the band lab. These are all things that allow students to create. And so when lessons are done, part of the policy that we're proposing um at Barsto High is that when students are done, don't let them get on their cell phones, but point them towards these other creative ways to to you spend their time the rest of the period. So it's more like bell-to-bell um learning. So next slide, please. Um, yes, students were concerned about disequitable enforcement. So, and so the things we're doing, they want transparent rules. Go ahead. Next slide. Um, next slide. Uh, so um, a lot of them don't want a complete man. Originally, we we were going to go with um cell phone pouches
013that lock and they could keep the cell phones with them and but they couldn't open them unless they went to an administrator or the classroom teacher. And and there was we got some feedback from teachers and parents on that and they said, um I don't think that's going to work. And so we're going more with keep it in your bag or your pocket. If we see it out, it's going to go in the classroom locker. um which is like a little little stand like this with different slots and then if they still refuse send them down to the office admin office. So that's kind of the direction we're going with our new cell phone policy. Next slide please. Um next slide please. All right and next slide please. So um these are some of the
014other resources that we are looking into. Brisk teaching is free um which allows teachers to use AI as it to create instructional materials and it also has some stuff. So we're really looking forward to you guys approving an AI policy so we can kind of tag on to it. Um hopefully that comes out soon. And then book creator next one, the parent cell phone survey. um was very similar. They said, "We want to be able to get a hold of our students if there's an emergency. We really want the students to keep them." Go ahead, next slide. And so there's two slides about this. They want it for emergency. They know it's a distraction in the class. They they know it's a balancing act. They want to make sure we have clear policies. And they
015know it's a learning tool potential, but they also know that if it's out, it's going to be distracted. So parents are pretty savvy about this. Right, parents? Right. All right, Keithson for parent responses. Um, cyber bullying and mental health is a big issue. I think a lot of students don't realize and parents don't realize how much of a mental health um problem cell phones bring in with through social media and gaming. Um, all right, next slide. So, here's a little report. Uh, let's clip let's pass that. That's the questions and the responses and these are so cell phone policy changes. One thing that we want to do, we we have I've gone over with Mr. Bar. He's going to be sharing that with you guys as well as our art artificial intelligence proposed uh draft
016which goes in addition to the Barster Unified School District policy that the IT team has has already shared with you guys. Um we're also looking at more field trips and staff PDs this next year. We're going to try to do 10 field trips. So for that semester 1, we really need your help getting them through the pipeline. Okay. So we're going to shoot for like not August, but maybe September, October, November, December. So if you guys could help us out with uh approving those so we can get them. Garner Holtz animatronics, Sofi Stadium, another Aquarium of the Pacific, maybe another um Ocean Institute. Those are the ones that are are going to be put in. um parent center and PTO. Ah, you know, Mr. Navaro was able to hire two wellness teachers just just to
017improve um the the climate on campus. But what if we started a parent teacher organization that was able to connect with parents in the community as well as organizations like Barstow College and Barsto Hospital and and our school district to kind of um you know setting out roots basically to bring in more resources for our students. And so that's one of the things um we're also going to be looking at this next year seeing if we can start start a 501c3 PTO with the community. So uh it's all new territory for me. All right, next one. PBIS store was a big hit this year. We sold a lot of hot chips. Oh man, those were like going like hot cakes. We couldn't keep them stocked long enough cuz students were lining out the door from
018the library all the way down to the fire lane. And then the other big seller was food. Once we added canes and In and Out, those were selling. Even though they were like 96 points and 77 points, those were going really fast. In fact, Mr. Naro said, "We need to stop doing two for one. I mean, two for two people at a time. Let's just get one." And it's just kind of crazy. Um, but it was a huge success. And this was made possible because the the district the you guys approved an additional amount for Barstow High School's PBIS program. And so the school pays for part of it and then you guys gave part of it. I think it's like 14,000 or it's in the over 10,000 and and we were able to use
019that money as incentives for students. And so those were hot hot hot sellers hot chips, regular chips, Gatorade, and and just water. And and that that that kind of shares with you how the water situation is with the faucets on campus. And I'm sure you've heard about that issue, that situation. All right, next slide, please. So our these were our biggest awarder teachers. Miss Kapangasan and Miss Rainey were at the top three. And then students got up to 299 points. and we we calculated 25 cents a point and we tried to tie that to how much each item in the store was worth. And so we're going to try to continue to do that just to make sure we stay in budget. Um, next slide please. So we're come we designed this new poster for
020the classroom and it gives very clear directions. Um, Miss Shannon Bella would be very proud of this sign because she said make sure it's rules that when somebody comes in and observes you, it's something that they can see the students doing. And so you can see come to class on time. That's the first one under preparation. All right, next one. Keep going please. Um top behaviors this past year. This is a report on the the major um trends in referrals. And so you can see um fighting started high, went down, spiked again, then went down. We had minor disruptions kind of staying the same all year. minor technology issues increasing near the end of the year and then skipping was the biggest the biggest highest one with students skipping class. All right, next one please.
021Less common behaviors were defiance, drugs, tobacco and truency. Next one please and locations over these are the locations classroom got the most gave out the most referrals and then the hallways and then gym and then and then commentators. All right, next one. This shows you our progress over the last three years. Kind of how how we've how we've been. In 2021, we were green like a lot of green is good and a lot of red is bad. So, you can kind of see we went down the last two years and then we're kind of coming up this last year. All right, next one, please. This is our suspensions. Um, how many students we had in school and out of school suspended for 2425 on the top. Um, and then this just this last month is
022as on the bottom. Okay, next slide, please. Um, I'm going to skip through a lot of this because it's you can look at the details if you're interested. Um, it just shows referrals kind of on a monthby-month basis. Thank you for scrolling through. Just keep going there. I'm just going to skip that. You skip you the the trouble of just listening to me drone on and on. Just right there is good. So this is kind of an example of one of the meetings. Every month we have a meeting and we look at we look at kind of where the problems are, what times of the day, what days of the week, what locations and that helps inform us on how we need to target and helps us like ask the question like how do we
023fix that? And so PBIS at Barsto High is looks a lot different than other schools just because we dealing with other issues. Every every school has this kind of form where we kind of try to figure out what's going what's what's going on and how to make improve the situation. All right, next slide, please. All right, and this is kind of like how do we deal with it like prevention, teaching, recognition. Okay, next slide. Last slide. Um, our goals for BHS this next year, we want to have our AI policy and cell phone policy in place. The gist of the AI policy is basically site your sources. Even if even if it's AI, you need to say where you got it from and what what prompt you used and you know um what parts you
024use. And so that's that's the gist of it. Um the wellness center is something we're planning on starting this next year. activities based on attendance. Those field trips are going to be a big part of that. And then um we need to write a PBIS point giving guide for teachers like when a student does this you you should do this and just be more clear in how we communicate with our teachers. And we're going to try to get our our PBIS team to be expand into other to have other people on it from different parts of the school, not just not just bed, teacher, admins, and um like a a campus safety person. We need to have more people. So, we're talking about link crew, ASB, pure counselors, more teachers, the SRO, wellness team, parents,
025more parents, district sites, and so, um, and then we're going to try to get more staff to professional development conferences. We're going to try to do 10 field trips. We're going to try to do what if what if we could get free TV testing and free fingerprinting for all of our all of our volunteers? And what if what if on back to school night we just had it all lined up here here here and then you need to set an appointment with the district to get to get to finish your training and and I mean that would allow a lot more parents to be involved in the on on campus stuff and it would also help us out with our field trips because we were like scrambling every time to get enough chaperones to go
026because teachers you can only take four teachers at a time at at high school and and sometimes um when when, you know, not everybody's showing up. I mean, it's hard for Bri to like get enough people out there. So, if we had more parents helping out, that would be amazing. We'd really like your help on that. Um, all right. Uh, student snacks from parent donations was an idea. Awards for parents, maybe more home visits, maybe use Thrively as to give to let parents use Thrively to see what their hope levels are. These are all ideas we were talking about. What if parent liaison go to observe Victor High's parent center? They have like a whole outreach center. We can we can learn from them. Um staff volunteers to adopt a kid based on low attendance.
027You know, let's start reaching out to these kids in advance. Like first month, we should be able to say, "Okay, this person's missing a lot. Let's figure out let's set up a a way to to connect with them on a on a weekly basis at least." Um and then we're talking about doing a parent on back to school night having like different organizations from the community um have a table at the back to school night and they can all parents can like say oh I didn't know this was a what what free food you know showers uh you know medical screenings like all this stuff that's available in our community that is they don't know about and and if we could have set that up Bree Bri and Mr. and I and are already talking
028about that. And then another idea was a student teacher parent relay race. What do you guys think? Just it would be really early, but you know, not everybody wants to do it that early, but it would be a great way to start, you know, connecting more parents and into the school and getting more discussions going. So, lots of lots of passion. We'll see how far this actually goes. You know, I am a realist as well, so Um, but I'm hoping that sharing this with you guys, you can kind of see um what we're shooting for and and help us out if you can. So, um, any questions before close? Well, um, yes, I do. Sorry. Um, parents and um, one of my things get parents more involved in to the schools, whether it's the high
029school or junior high or intermediate school or whatever. Um, and that's a big issue and I like that you have that on. That's one of your goals. So, you know, hey, just hit me up. Love to help. Thank you, Mr. Williams. Yes. Yes. I would just second what l say Mr. Williams is saying um, very good job. Very good. It's really impressive to see how detailed you are about the parents because we know for a fact that whatever we do here needs to, you know, carry over at home. So, I'm interested as well. So, I'll be in touch. Yeah. Thanks so much. Anybody else? All right. Well, thank you so much for your time. Okay.

Last week, the district began a meet and confer process with the Department of Justice Deputy Attorneys General. The meet and confer process is a 90-day requirement of the September 2020 stipulated judgment of the Attorney General's office. Uh if the attorney general's office determines that the district has not substantially complied with the substantive provisions of the judgment, the attorneys general and the district
044have 30 days in which to complete the process. Summer school is off to a good start. The district has more than 600 students enrolled. On June 16, there is a summer school field trip to Barcelo Fine Arts Academy to see one 123 Andress B. One, two, one, two, three, and one, two, three, Andres. Yes. Band. Okay. And I'd like to take this moment to commend cabinet members for their dedicated, hardworking uh hard work during the 2024 2025 school year. The superintendent's cabinet is responsible for assisting the superintendent in addressing the board of trustees major system priorities. The cabinet provides input to the superintendent on operational, programmatic, and fiscal issues that affect the school system. Cabinet members include assistant superintendent Scott Godfrey and Jorge Gutierrez, chief business official Douglas beaten, director to Heather Reid, and directors
045Jamie Fischer, Carolyn Norman, Vinnie Williams, and Dan Ortiz. Thank you for your help ensuring that every student in Barcel is provided a safe environment conducive to learning. Thank you. All right. Uh, next we have board reports. Move the Mr. Williams. Um, yes. I might as well say something [Laughter] the right thing to do. Um, I would like to say for everyone sitting up here at this table, you know, myself and Miss Gib and then a few others, we came on late, but every time we went to any any of you, you've given us the information that we need. I want to say thank you. I I know the learning curve for a new board member is straight up and down and it's difficult. There's a lot to learn, you know, but you guys have made
046it so much easier and I want to thank you all. Pleasure. Next year I may not. Thank you. I don't know. All righty. Thank you, Mr. Eis. Yes. Um, so, uh, I asked a couple few times about the custodians for summer school, and I guess we're going to get a little update on that. But, uh, you know, I'm kind of kind of kind of discuss kind of mad about that. You know what I mean? I didn't have to come to me having to come several times asking about it. Um, you know, when I, uh, ran for office, I didn't, uh, go around knocking on doors, say I was going to exploit employees and stuff. And I really think that's what we're doing with the custodians here. We're having them do the regular cleanup uh, for
047the summer, then have to go up clean the summer school classrooms. You know, I look right down here. We got uh, administrators for this, this, and that for summer school. you know, nothing here but the custodians, you know, uh, you know, I'm, you know, uh, I don't hide my feelings, you know what I mean? Uh, I'm really surprised that I don't have a principal or Sam up here, uh, speaking up saying, "Hey, where's my custodians?" You know, uh, you know, we have the Sams going around telling the custodians they want an hour by hour uh, what they're doing there in the summer. I go along with that, but you know what? I want to see what they're doing hour by hour too. The sub the the Sams this summer. What are they doing though this
048whole summer besides sitting in front of a camera probably uh you know surveilling our employees? You know, them cameras are there for security, for safety, not for spying on employees, you know. Um, you know, uh, you know, I I could go on and on and on. You know, uh, um, you know, when it comes to when it comes to time to perform, it's too late to prepare. You know what I mean? You know, I don't see how this got dropped. you know how you know you know these guys you know they're in there cleaning these restrooms at 107° maybe the Sam needs to go in there and clean a couple figure out what they're doing too you know what I mean uh I you know I you know I'm I'm I'm very upset about it
049you know it had to take this you know what I mean and back you know summer school custodian summer school custodian you know I you know I was a custodian for 37 years. You know, I subbed for three years. Um I know I know what they go through. Uh I I I just can't see how nobody pats somebody in the back that's dumped their trash and clean the restrooms for them, you know. Um uh you know, I I I'm very upset. you know, um not going to hide my feelings, you know, and I could go on and on and on, but you know, we got this and this and this for summer school and we didn't get, you know, this, you know, the custodians, you know, and uh now the guys at the high school,
050they got to move 20 classrooms. They got a bunch of construction going over there. They got summer school classes. They're going to have to move 20 classrooms. Why do they got to move 20 classrooms? you know, are they going to add extra help for them like they would for any other position? I don't think so. Thank you for letting me share. Thank you, uh, Mr. Brea. Uh, a couple things. Uh, I'd like to, uh, number one, congratulate our, uh, graduating seniors. Uh, graduation was, uh, super this year. They most of the graduations I I think uh I think there have only been to a couple of graduations that weren't uh enjoyable and that was because the the wind was blowing really hard and and the sprinklers would go on. But other than that, uh all
051all graduations are are spectacular and we send off our seniors hoping that they uh can make something in their lives. and and uh as a graduate of uh Barstow High a few years back, uh I can say that that uh I look around and especially some of the people in my class and some around the class uh very successful, good citizens uh employees and the retirees. It was pretty crazy to hear everything from 4 years to 41 years um of you know of service to anywhere. I mean really it is I mean 41 years that is that is a long long long time. Um and just really a heartfelt thank you to all of them for everything they've done for the district for our kids. Um it was interesting even seeing some of my kids
052teachers were here um you know as being some of the retirees. So it was it was nice to see that we could give them a nice send off um for everything that they've done for us and I I do really appreciate that. Um wanted to wish everybody the families um as well as the employees um a happy summer to get your rest and relaxation in. Um and then also to echo the sentiments of Mr. Prey and Miss Swaren as far as uh the DEO that I know there is I don't know everything but a decent amount. Um I know you guys are all doing not that you're not doing work during the regular school year but there's a lot of things that get done over the summer so that way everything is ready to go
053when all the parents show up when the students show up um when the teachers show up for the beginning of school that there's already uh months of work that have already went into preparation. So thank you for all of that work that you do. All right. Do we have a student representative report? Summer break. All right. Uh, next we have BEA. Is there anyone from BEA for tonight? There's no or CSEA. Summer break. Nope. Okay. Personnel commission. Yes. Uh, good evening uh board members and guests and staff, whoever is left over. Uh and this is the classified personnel statistics for this month. Uh we have one interviewing process. We have two recruitments that are in the testing stage and two recruitments that are open. Uh currently we have 383 classified employees, 179 8 hour full-time,
054127 benefited part-time and 77 non-benefited part-time. As always, we we still carry 15 classified manager management employees. On the classifications with security, we have no vacancies. Safety, we have two vacancies that we're scheduling interviews. Um, we're trying to get dates from the hiring managers. Uh, custodial, we don't have any vacancies at this time. Um, let's see. We also have new eligibility list. So, I know I reported last uh at the last meeting that we're doing a lot of testing. So, in order for us, that's all the prep work that we got to do for to hire people. So we post a position uh score it uh clear it for testing test people and then the scores of the test determine uh ranking in our list. So we've gone through all those process with with quite
055a few classifications and uh now we're turning to interviews. So, we're sched scheduling June interviews for using our new list. Um, for campus safety office assistant and senior office assistant for uh health assistant, they're going to be interviewing tomorrow. Uh, buyer interviews occurred already last week and an offer was made. Uh, school accounting technician at the high school is being interviewed on Friday. Uh, Cameron is also going to do the office assistant interviews and we're working on the following lists. uh translator, interpreter, parsn and ns2. So those are the list that uh we have test scores and we're trying to compile this still and the open recruitments that we currently have are nutrition services 3 and HR technician. Uh they were also posted for transfer to mode. Uh let's see, we've been testing for the
056parasent classification. We had 50 applicants and we had about 20 that actually uh came to test. Out of those about 17 clear. It's a really hard recruitment. A lot of individuals sign up, you know, fill out the application and they change their mind once they read the job description and there's eight duties that they have to uh say that they're willing to do like diapering or catheter. And some of those individuals just don't don't want to do it right. We try to work with them, but um oftentimes that's that's the breaking point. Um let's see. Uh we've been onboarding a lot of non-duty substitutes. We're processing resignation and retirements and we have also uh orders a new uh redesigned classified service pins. So um the old ones were getting really rusty. They look like pennies.
057So, if uh staff wants to they want to change it, exchange it, we'll we're willing to do that. So, we ordered plenty of those. And then let's see. Um I know there was a question about the uh the the summer custodial. So, I did some research on that today. I've been working on it. Uh some of the schools uh they have uh they have an average of 10 classrooms that they're that that they're assigned for summer school. Um the high school is less right. Uh but uh with Barcelo Junior High, Crestline, Montera, and Henderson, the average is about 10 classrooms. And the only um the only custodian that we have that is for summer school is a five-hour custodian at the junior high. And so we fill those positions with us right with our department.
058We get the requisition of what the committee wants to set up for the summer school and we fill them. Uh but we've been getting a lot of that feedback in the last you know day or two. So I've been doing this research. uh we do need to have either uh stagger time or or additional time in order to to complete this this job right the duties for the custodians so um in conversation with Mr. God for others here in the cabinet right uh we've uh we're working on uh additional work time to be able to complete the task but now we need to find out which one of those custodians is willing to do the work right so I'm having some of the principles and the Sams ask the staff and see who's who's willing
059to get on the list uh to be able to allow for that form to be filled out and for the time to be authorized so that they can uh complete some of this task. Now, uh there's only, you know, about, you know, 3 weeks or a month left of summer school, right? It's about 3 weeks. So, it's not a lot of time, but that would be the fastest way to get this done. And then long term for next year, we got a plan for um having u somebody assigned to this to these duties at these schools, right, during the summer school because it is uh a workload issue. I mean, once I did all the research, you know, we recognize that. Um, let's see what else. Uh, we have um, uh, something else that, you
060know, in the very short immediate term, right, they can custodians can work with the administrator to prioritize the work and at least get that going while we get uh, individuals that are willing to do the extra work and we get it to process and get them, you know, to get the the time sheet, you know, timed so that they can do the work. So, um, that's what we've been working on today. And, you know, we we heard some of the questions. There was a couple of emails that came in. So, that's when, you know, that triggered that, you know, that uh, research and this is the solution that we came up with. If you there's any other questions on that or any of my other I do have one question. I'm sorry. Um, I pick
061up a lot of people asking where do they find the job listings for B USD, but I don't I see it every now and then you you'll put you guys will put something out of the jobs, right? I think we need to probably do it more because I may see it once every three months online. I don't see it that often, but I usually just direct them, you know, go to the B USD website, right? But if we can put a list out to the public of what's available and a website they can go to or or or a link. And I think if we do it more often, I I think we might get a little maybe some more applications that more successful. So, what you're probably seeing is when we post our positions
062and we email them out, you're probably getting those announcements, there is a a place on the website that, you know, we we should all agree it's a little hard to to find, right? And we're working on that, but it it lists all of our classifications in there. So, it's all our classifications. We have the work year calendars in there, the salary schedules, everything. No, no, not just that. Just drop those things. So, you know, when something's available, that's all I want. One one part of it is so basically everything is on edjo joint. Yes. Whether that's classified certificated across the board every position that we fly as a district and every for the most part that I know of district all flies everything will post onto edge joint. where it gets complicated, I don't want
063to oversp speak too much particularly for the classified side is because of the way that the lists work with doing the being a merit district is that basically they can only fly that position for so long then accept the applications and then work towards that's what he's talking about about creating all of these lists and doing all that that even though that vacancy is still there the whole time that whole process kind of has to go step by step as far as the initial flying then the testing then the interviews and you can't that that job has been vacant that whole time but you can't and you can't just keep flying that position. You have to kind of go through that pipeline until you get to the final product and then exhaust out that list.
064So it does it does take time and it is you know yes but I'm not just the posting listing what the jobs are available that's always on join is for I understand but not everybody not everybody use that for the general public you know we have social media accounts let's put it out there you know we got this many we got these jobs available and then you know when you update it takes some that's all just something simple for the community, it' be easier for them. I send it out on my own email network, too. So, the community college gets it and some of our other partners. Uh, for something like the Paras, I mean, we're we're getting to the point to where we're going to get more creative and we're thinking of posting physical
065positions and like coffee shops and laundromats, right? I mean, yeah, exactly. Because we're uh, you know, we're diminishing returns, right? We're reaching a point where we're not getting any more especially for that classification which is because I think the tiein in that is more with Marseilles and with a pao side more than necessarily Mr. Ortiz's side if we're in the same lane as far as reaching the public with exactly the information. Yeah, I I I understand your process. I got your process. I'm worried about the process. I'm just worried about posting out there. These are these are the jobs that are available at B USD because we wanted the biggest employers in town. So these are what what's available. I think what you're saying is we need a button probably in the front part of
066the website that just says jobs. Yeah. Yes. Something simple. Something like that. I got you. I'll go back to Marcus. I'm sorry. Yes. No, no, you're good. Go ahead. Marcus. Okay. Okay. My question or No, go ahead. um was about the the all of the custodian and the summer school and I just want to make sure that I'm understanding everything is that basically historically speaking we've had just one employee that was slotted for 5 hours and that was our total as far as what we had set up historically speaking we've now come to realize that that is insufficient to cover what we have is what our overall needs are my question if with that assumption is what do we have something now that we're saying we had one that was five hours and that was
067what we said was our need. Do we now have a needs assessment to say we need two at 5 hours or 10 at 5? Do we have do we know that number and or with that with what we're allowing as far as extra duty offering to them you know to the custodians is there any limit or what are what is what does that look like that yes they're prioritizing and yes we're reaching out but is there any number or any you know do we have anything like that attached to that so uh with some of the emails I sent out today is to basically survey and to have that conversation with a custodian and with the number of classrooms and and come up with a number of hours, right? Because it's just sometimes it's the
06810 classrooms or 11 classrooms plus the cafeteria and wherever they're having lunch, right? The NPR. And so that takes, you know, a different, you know, more time in itself. So that assessment is being done. uh if if you want to follow what the junior high uses, right? They're the ones that have the 5-h hour position for 11 classrooms plus the NPR in the cafeteria. So, I mean that that's what they're using whether that's appropriate or not. Yes. So, we're basically in the process of figuring that out of what the number will look like moving forward. And then basically, we're just kind of open-ended as far as whatever the administration is telling us that they need as far as hours that we're allowing that to happen and reach out to so long as the custodians are
069willing and wanting the hours, we're accommodating with that. Yeah. There's this prioritize the work for the very immediate you know couple of days and then what is the need and then move forward with that and then who's willing to do the work right so that's the third part they're willing to do the work you know we got to sign them up for the additional time and then put them on a time sheet okay so that's basically the process and then moving forward right for next year then we'll have this information to to work on that for You're right. In the past, there was only one custodian assigned to the junior high school and nothing else. Now, some of the other schools what they did like Monta, they stagger their time. So, they they bring it
070in bring them in at different times and they try to do the work however they can, right? To try to float that work. Whether that's, you know, efficient or not efficient or the best or not, you know, that's not not something for me to say. That just, you know, that's just the information I got, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. this. I want to just uh jump on Mr. Williams here. You know, I I think I mentioned a couple months ago, you know, we got two radio stations here, you know what I mean? I mean, we we can we can afford to put a few ads on there and see how it goes. If it doesn't go, it doesn't go. You know what I mean? Not everybody's computer person. I'm I'm one of them, you know what
071I mean? So, uh I I I I go along with them. you know, I think we need to reach out a little bit more, you know, and and then uh you know, we're saying, "Oh, the working class don't want to work anymore." It's just like a principal that gets a better job down the road. I mean, you know, these these these guys that are uh subbing for custodian, they could go work at McDonald's get paid a dollar more and get a cheeseburger for working, you know what I mean? So, maybe we could raise that, you know, a little bit higher for the pay for the uh subcustodians, you know? And uh but I I think yeah, you know, let's try the radio, do something. I mean, you know, uh it's interesting you mentioned that because
072in in my PC budget, I put a line item for forension and for advertising and I know I increased it a little bit this time. And so, uh we wanted to do a mailer. Um we kind of cut that budget in half, but a mailer was something else that you know I kind of had over there as a wish list, right? But but we do have some money that we can use for communications. Yeah. Thank you. Going once. Going twice. Everybody's good. Thank you. Okay. Uh next we have the adoption of the agenda. We do have two corrected copies. K6A5 certification personnel perfect attendance recognition stipen for the 24-25 school year as well as K6 A10 resignation retirement of certificated personnel. Uh can I get a motion to adopt with the two corrected copies? I

I was just looking down to see I couldn't see. Are you good, Elizabeth? I can't see you. Everybody's good. It's a little different trying to work the dynamics with the with the dice like this. So, everybody's good. No. No items to pull. All right. Then, can I get a motion to approve? So, I'll move. Second. All in favor? I I move to discuss items. Okay.

Um, well, I'll leave it until later. I'll put it in the right place. Okay. Um, can I get a motion? So, move. All in favor? And then I'm just going to write that down. Don't forget it. I'll do one second here. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Sorry about that. Okay. Next is uh educational services L21 public hearing 26 uh LCAP local control accountability information item. Yes. And this is going to go Oh, I think I have to Sorry. Well, is Go ahead. Sorry. Yeah, I've got to Yep. Go ahead. Read all my stuff. I will stop. Um recommending the board of trustees adjourn to a public hearing to
077hear public comment on the district's LCAP local control accountability plan. So, it is uh 6:30 and we will Sure. Just a couple of high points about our LCAP for the uh 2025 2026 school year. This is a three-year plan that the board adopted last year. We're we're going to move into the year two. Just to give you a district overview of what the plan is um addressing. BUD serves 6,300 students approximately of whom 79% are soioeconomically disadvantaged. district also serves high numbers of English learners, foster homeless youth, and students with disabilities, which make up an un unduplicated count of students of appro approximately 74%. Uh that's an important number because that generates what's called supplemental and concentration grant dollars, which is the line share of what the LCAP attempts to outline and create goals for.
078uh as a funding snapshot of our current LCAP, there is approximately 119,540,000 in total revenue for our district. Mr. Douglas beaten will be uh reviewing that in a few minutes. of that 19.54 million is supplemental and concentration grant funding and our district in also addressing our um learning recovery emergency block grant funds that we have to expend in a timely fashion. Uh we're looking at expending 29.15 million towards supplemental and concentration grant funding. Basically, what that means is we are identifying actions and resources that are geared specifically to our unduplicated count students. That's 74%. Unduplicated count means students could be in one group, two groups, or all three groups, but they're only counted once. So, three out of every four students land in at least one of those unduplicated count uh groups. If you remember,
079I reviewed the LCAP midyear report in February. I think some of you were brand new to the board, so this might be a refresher for you. Uh, goals one, goal two, and goal three have not changed. Goal one is about academic achievement, college and career readiness, increasing the number of students reading at grade level, which is part of our uh district technical assistance plan for next year, and increasing the number of English learners that are proficient and reclassified. Some of the actions that go along with that is a increased and continuing effort with class size reduction increased instructional time which actually came into the LCAP about 10 years ago and it's remained basically what we did was we made the go uh school day excuse me from 6.5 hours to 7 hours across um increased
080transportation for those student groups that need uh uh improved transportation to get to school. uh assessment program support which is all that comes out of Miss Jamie Fischer's office. Uh we also have a robust EL translation and homeless youth support effort along with this uh com uh college and career readiness and CTE college uh career technical education support and finally additional ELD pair educator support at each of our sites. Goal two is about parent engagement and involvement involving parents in decision-m process. Uh that includes things like our uh family center and translation services which is a lot of what our um homeless youth support comes from. We have our P pio position in that go in that goal as well as our parent guardian student community alliance group. Did I get that right? Uh goal
081number three continues forward as well and that's all about supportive safe and engagement engaging school climate. And you heard a little bit today from Miss Swearing about the OAG and the report that we will be getting uh very shortly. Uh I think you'll find we're going to see some high marks in that area, but it's a continued effort for our district reducing suspensions, expulsion, and chronic absenteeism. Some of the actions that are included here, counseling and psychologist uh supports, assistant principles, deans, wellness teachers, behavior aids, something we call the California Health Partnership, which has grown from just professional development to actual uh bodies coming into our district and helping us with additional counseling and support for that effort. Uh STEM staffing comes out of here as well as the bar fine art costs that continue
082moving forward. a ton of PBIS and MTSS program supports, restorative practice professional development, campus safety assistance, campus security, categorical office staff, and student studies team coordinators. Now, the big difference from February to today in our LCAP is in February, we had goals four, five, six, seven, and eight. And those were called our equity multiplier goals. Uh I've been working with our county since February um submitting portions of our LCAP for review and after maybe the third submission uh they came back to me and said you need to break each equity multiplier school apart so that they have their own goal because each of their needs are a little different than the other. So it's really more like moving the the deck chairs around. Uh it was a little bit of work but we got it
083done. Uh so now goal four is all about Bars High School. Barstell High School is actually not receiving equity multiplier funds for the next school year. However, they did not expend all of their funds this year. So we need to continue with a plan moving forward. And in their plan, they're investing in specialized instructional support. They're investing heavily in credit recovery programs to include uh robust staffing with both teachers and pair educators. uh additional transportation for the credit recovery and also meals for after school for these students. And also as in in an effort to continue to uh uh decrease those suspension rates, increase campus safety assistance, uh behavior staff, uh they're also looking at increasing um campus safety support for their PE program. You heard uh Mr. Brinkley's um presentation today where they identify
084the spots on the campus where are sort of the hot spots during the day. They're finding that the PE program is a hot spot because kids transition in, they transition out. There's a lot of bodies moving back and forth. We need more adult supervision for that. So that's what they're doing. Uh goal five, goal six, goal eight, goal nine, goal 10, and goal 11 are all elementary. And uh one thing about our elementary schools which this is something I really uh appreciate about them is they talk to each other a lot and they get generate ideas by collaborating. So the things that they're spending their money are on are very similar. For example, uh specialized instructional supports, ELA intervention teachers, EL intervention teachers, additional campus supervision. Uh, one of our schools is looking to hire
085on a board certified behavior analyst. Um, Lenwood Elementary is looking at increasing the number of co-curricular and extracurricular uh, field trips for their students to increase engagement and connection to the school. Anderson Elementary is hiring a math intervention teacher. They're also holding social, emotional, and wellness assemblies. Uh Mont Elementary is pumping a lot of money into professional learning community training of which myself uh Jamie Fischer and Miss Swearing have a meeting with this group to talk about how can we expand this across the entire district to create that consistency and alignment. Cresine Elementary is also uh engaging in a lot of professional development with the county of of Sanino coaches both ELA and math. Um, Skyline is looking to bring on one and a half additional intervention teachers that will support ELA and math. Horses
086Junior High School is mirroring what Montto Elementary is doing, which is increasing their professional learning community training. They're investing in additional wellness teacher and for the first time a wellness counselor. So, when a student is assigned to the wellness room now, they'll receive a wellness counseling as part of their program. um and also uh co-curricular and extracurricular field trips. Finally, Barster Intermediate School. Actually, there's two more. Barster Intermediate School, they're new to the equity multiplier game. Uh part of that was because they're a brand new school last year. The money they received was only uh based on their sixth grade population. We anticipate one year forward they'll probably have enough money for both grade levels. But with the money they do have, which is $440,415, uh they're investing in additional pair educator support uh for
087their intervention program, their arts programs so that they can give uh students um a more a well well-rounded education. And then finally, they're looking at adding a social worker to their campus to support with uh family and student needs. And then finally, I skipped over Central High School. They also have equity multiplier dollars 115,53. They are adding three PAR educators. They're going to increase the number of ELD minutes that their ELD pair educator will uh provide to their students as well as intervention and credit recovery. So, all that said, I think I wrote it down here. The total amount of equity multiplier dollars, it's somewhere in the range of 6.2 2 million that the district will receive or has received with Barstow High School's continuing forward allocation. And as part of this entire process with
088the LCAP and the development, we have to uh ensure that we're engaging partners, educational partners and uh soliciting soliciting their feedback. That includes surveys for staff, students, community. Uh it includes student representation on our district advisory council. Uh it includes individual meetings at each site to review their equity multiplier dollars. Uh Miss Fischer heads up a lot of that for us where she's helping them develop their single school plans that then aligns to our LCAP so that we have a seamless uh effort in that in that case. So to to wrap things up um you've heard this probably in many different ways. It's part of our statement of principles, but that is to ensure equity. And by ensuring equity, one of the things we try to do is expand counseling and school psychologist teams. Uh
089uh provide restorative justice PD peer conflict and mediation programs, PBIS reward systems. You heard a lot about that today. Uh targeted ELD supports and bilingual pair educators. Moving forward with our ECAP, we are now required to track what are called long-term English learners. They came into our district as English learners. They never reclassified. So they're now 10th or 11th graders and they're still in need of support and it's part of our need with this LCAP to create those actions and services. And then finally, parent engagement strategies tailored to underserved families. So I'll finish with a summary statement. Uh Bar School District's uh 2025 2026 LCAP reflects a strong commitment to equity. The district has aligned its investments in goals, especially goals um five through 13 to serve as equity multipliers that lift barriers for historically
090underserved student groups. And if you haven't printed it out, I know Mr. East has it. It's 219 pages. Um if you want the cliff notes, I can share them with you. Uh, but one thing you can look forward to is in February of 26, I'll come back with another presentation to tell you how the LCAP is going. Thank you. You're welcome. I have a question. Sure. Is there a reason why Barto isn't receiving the high school isn't receiving funds again this year or it's just a is a thing? Uh well it's it's it's based on the mobility rate, the number of students that move in and move out. Uh as well as whether or not we have a cut off percentage for uh low soio economic students. We we meet the threshold for low soio
091economic but we don't meet the threshold for moving in and moving out. They could fall back in next year. We don't know. Uh but we have to be judicious and make sure that the actions and services that we're we're um that you'll be approving that we're keeping an eye on that future, you know, commitment. One point it I did want to make with what your question was is that that's a great place for something that what we can do. And part of what they were talking about whenever we were at DC as far as like legislative actions that we can push for is being able to have access to those funds and what the limitations are both with mobility rate as well as socioeconomic status. So that way in an effort for us to then
092be able to continuously be able to provide those services instead of this back and forth limbo where like okay well now we can offer them or now we can't that's a perfect place where we can kind of you know get involved or have a say or you know kind of jump down on that road. Um, I did have a question and not by any means I I'm sure it would be impossible to tackle all of it or even half of it, but I was wondering do we have any way of having a an actual visual of any of let's say any of the goals or pieces of the goals or highlights of the goals of something like we were just talking about where you mentioned the EL readers of saying like Okay, this is where
093they were. How many either are not classified as EL or with the additional supports or any of these metrics that we're getting, is there any way that we could make anything that's an actual thing that we could see as a district? So, like we put up stuff all around schools with PBIS, right, to remind everybody of all the things to see where we actually are with what it is that we're doing. And or also if we had something like signage, you could say, "Hey, if you'd like to find out more, ask this person who would be, you know, somebody at the district office, the principal, or even putting up a QR code." So then if a person wanted to know, a parent or whoever wanted to get access to the information, they could. Is that
094anything? Oh, yeah. We we can definitely do that. um a lot of artificial intelligence uh resources that we can we can grab grab on to to um to be honest with you when I uh created my little uh synopsis here I used chat GPT and I went into our cap and I said okay I want to grab certain pieces of information I want to make it sound coherent and like I know what I'm talking about and basically it gave me a four pager so yes we did we definitely can and it's not like a bad thing you know like there's a ton of good things that were just mentioned that everybody should know. The public should know and not everybody can always be, you know, at every board meeting or attend, but that could be
095something that we could display. People could then have, you know, access to the information and they go, "Oh, wow. Look at all the stuff the district's providing for our definitely create that. I'll uh work with cabinet as well as Marcus to put um put together what might be the best effort for that and then Yeah, we can definitely do that. Cool. And thank you for all the information again. Appreciate it. If not, we get to send it. Does anybody have any other questions, comments? And that was justformational, correct? No voting. Okay. All right. You need to reconvene. Oh, thank you. I knew there was. Okay. So, it is 6 uh 45. Excuse me. we will reconvene. And so we're just moving. It'll come back at the next board meeting. All right. Then next we will
096move on to L22. Uh also information. This is for the new course outline for CTE patient care 1 Barcelo High School. And uh I'm also going to hand this over to Mr. Godfrey. I will say that all three course outlines will be on Friday report for the board members. This is the information item night. So, you'll have those if you have any questions. Okay. Okay. So, uh just real quickly, patient care 1 is the first course within the CTE patient care pathway. It's a brand new course at Barcel High School. It's designed to introduce students to careers in the healthcare field, focusing on theory, practical skills. They'll learn professional norms, skills, and competencies related to careers in healthcare. Interesting. Anyone have any questions or comments? Okay, then we'll go on to the next one. L23,
097uh, new course outline, CTE welding, Barcelo High School. Uh, this is a course we've had at Barcel High historically. We're hoping to bring it back. I know that we're in the process of trying to hire a welding teacher. Um students who are enrolled in intro to welding will first learn about safety in a shop environment. It includes in industry recognized personal protective equipment, common industry power tools and welding equipment. Um it's also designed to familiarize students about specific welding processes such as and this is a new term to me shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding. So they're going to get into the uh introduction of it, but they're also going to be hands-on. So, we're looking forward to bringing this back to our high school. Glad to see that. Anyone else have any
098get it questions or comments? Okay. Uh, next we'll go to L24, uh, new course outline for CTE, child development one, Barcelo High School. This course is continuing forward and I know that, uh, Mr. has been working with the high school in trying to develop a a kind of a uh pipeline for our our high school kids to go through this program and eventually hopefully become one of our employees and eventually maybe a teacher for us. Um it's uh it examines the major development milestones in the area of bioosocial, so psychosocial and cognitive development for children both typical and atypical from conception through adolescence. This is a continuing course. All three of these courses were submitted by Holly Bowser to UCOP, which is the portal to ensure that they are all what's called A throughG, which
099is part of LCAP goal one. So students who take these courses and complete them are checking boxes off so that if they apply to a Cal State or a UC in our state um and they complete all their requirements, they are eligible to go to one of our universities in our state question. I'm not sure if this would be for you or on your side. It's kind of a little bit going both ways. Um the last part you were talking about as far as the um the requirements, the A throughg requirements more like on the high school side getting into college. I was just wondering specifically with CTE uh or with the child development and this is where it possibly goes onto your side is whenever for the teaching credential program and specifically now with
100the TK's and all the new credentiing requirements that's going to come with that. Do we know if any of this integrates with any of that? meaning like you have to have so many units of CT or uh I keep want to say CT child development for the TK side with the teacher credential program. Does any of this count slashtie into any of that or do we know that yet or if you take if I may Mr. I don't know which I think it has to do with uh if you take the class at at the high school it wouldn't count for that right okay if for college credit uh for that we would have to have articulation with BCC or different community college and from what what I'm hearing I'm not an expert on this
101but you know I've been involved with BCC and we we're creating a teacher pathway which uh M our superintendent is a part of that as well so we have a partnership with BCC C Kelsey Sanberino and Kelsey University Domingus Hills to create that teacher pipeline. The articulation there uh in order for students to get high uh college credits, they have to be taught by by a uh uh credential person under the the community college. So, this wouldn't count for that, but it does prepare them to be able to be successful in those courses because they're creating that foundation for child development. So, okay, as far as I know. So, but possibly something where this is basically the first step. Yes. And then the second step could then be that integration with either BCC or another
102JC. And Okay. Cool. Does anyone else have any other questions? Thank you both of you. Uh next we'll go to business services. uh L41 public hearing for the 2526 Barcelo Unified School District budget and I have another public hearing for that. Uh recommending the board of trustees adjourn to a public hearing regarding the proposed 2526 budget for the general fund um cafeteria fund adult education fund cap capital facilities fund deferred maintenance fund postmployment benefits retirees fund and child development fund. Uh it is 6:51 we will turn to public hearing. Good evening and thank you. I'll give Josh a minute to bring up the slide deck. I did print it out for you so that um I had a little problem with the margins, but um I thought it might help for those so we don't
103have to turn our necks and look back. Um I would also like to thank Mr. Rick Jensen. He's our new consultant and so he provided a lot of information on building the budget. Uh we now have a budget that is tied to our Epic system. So now we're all in um we're able to um see the budget with the report and see uh every all the details in in that set report. So it'll be uh a lot better for the district to be able to uh access that information as we make our decisions going forward. Um so uh per per the education code uh uh we're electing to follow the single budget adoption process. We must adopt and submit by July 1st a final budget uh which can be amended in 45 days. I heard
104today that the legislature and the new actually made a budget deal today. So we uh they will get paid and we'll have a budget that we can actually adopt. And so that is good news today. Um and so with that we probably will not have to do the 45day uh adoption if if based on our budget tonight. Uh the revenues uh LCFF revenue uh which um Mr. was talking about is this year is going to be 86,355,079 inside that is al also our supplemental and concentration dollars that we are talking about it's about uh approximately 20 million our federal revenue for this year will be 8 million $4,573 we have state revenue of $19,934 and577 and our our local revenue revenue is $4,829,995 [Music] for the total that Mr. Godfrey spoke of of $119 million
105total$124,224. Um I also put a draft where you could see that our you know the Brian the lion share of our dollars is from LCFF. um the federal revenue now that the CO dollars have been decreasing is now our state is actually um more than our federal share. Uh the expenditures this year um they're going to total $145,883,588. Uh you'll see um certificated salaries at 38 million. Our employee employee uh classified 20 employee benefits 26,000. Our services and operations are 41 million. What we're going to be looking at um some of those services and seeing if where we could uh look to either cut back or change or um because u we're we're ser definitely a lot of services u that we're looking at. Um so with that uh our fund balance beginning with uh
106this is an estimate that we're our beginning balance for this uh starting July 1 will be 6572,75. Um that's based on our estimated actuals. How so we'll see as we uh go through the rest of the year how our we'll do our estimate uh unodudited actuals in the coming months and to see how close we came to that uh our estimate though that could change based on that u how we end up in the final year. So we have the total income and total expenditures uh given us a uh projected ending balance of $ 38,813 and 30 I'm sorry 38 million813,341 that' be as of June 30th 2026. Uh the components of that ending fund balance uh we'll have non-spendable of 400,000. That's for stores and um and also our revolving cash uh are legally
107restricted. That's our categorical dollars. That's in the neighborhood of 21 million. Um so we have a reserve for economic uncert uncertainty. Uh 4,380,000. Uh our committed balance is 54 5,400,000. That's our uh fund se fund 17 special reserve that we've committed and then in our assigned balance of 7,49 thou 491,877. So our assumptions in order to build a a multi-year um a threeyear to show our three years expenses we have to make some assumption. Um our estimated P2 P288 is right right around 5600. Um we are showing that we're going to be uh declining in the out out years. I had Mr. Jensen do in an enrollment projection based based on birth rates? Uh he did very extensive um a study of the area u building and it all things um a real deep dive
108into the enrollment that we're projecting. So um I was really impressed actually. So um um so but we are declining slightly over the next couple years based off of um that information and that's our projections. Our department of finance statutory colas uh this year is going to be 2.3. Uh they're they are also they're projecting next year and the following year to be 3.02 and 3.42 respectively. Uh I put the step and column u projections there for you uh for certificate and classified um the statutory and retirement uh additions that could affect the next two years and then of course the lottery um I put those projections in there for you. We also um have to make a couple of other assumptions. uh our m our mandate block grant uh the district has op opted
109to receive the mandated block grant. Revenues are based on prior year P288. The revenues from this grant are estimated to be $263,514. So that's $39 per TK through 8 student and $75.31 per 9 through 12. Uh the district is expected to continue to per perform and document activities for applicable mandates named in the mandate block grant but will not be required to file claims forms in order to receive the grant funds. The district will continue to file claims for those mandated activities that fall outside of the mandated block grant. Although the state is not providing funding for such claims at this time. Pardon me. Uh we have the federal categorical program revenues. The district projects its federal revenues based on the current funding allocation shown in the consolidated application part two along with provisions for
110the effect of enrollment strategies. We base federal revenue projections on prior year award for the adopted budget and on actual awards for the first interim estimated unearned revenues and carryover from 2425 but has not yet been included in the 2526 categorical program revenue and expenditure budgets for the state cate program revenues. Um, it's based on funding allocation notices we've had on hand at the time of the 2526 budget was compiled. Estimated under revenues and carry from 2425 has not yet been included in the 2526 categorical pro program revenue and expenditure budgets. Interest earnings. We also calculate our interest um projected on the case balances for CA cash balances for the 2526 fiscal year in each fund and multiplied these amounts by the average interest rate in the prior year to estimate interest earnings for 2526.
111Uh the cash flow district's cash receipts for the LCF normally arrive according to a schedule authorized by ED code. That's in July and August. we get 5% of the budget. And then in September, October, November, December, January is all at 9%. Uh that that determines how much cash we're getting in at at specific time, those times. And then uh I think was speaking to you guys earlier about the 559 schedule. So that is the schedule that we are talking about. Um so those are our assumptions that will help us build our multi-year projections. And so on the next slide we've um identified our revenues and expenditures. Uh what that's going to do to the fund balance. Um, I've also uh listed our our for that fund balance how how that will affect our economic insurgency
112accounts, our committed account and our signed balance account. And um that concludes my presentation. There's any questions? Anybody have any other questions? So, I I have um a question trying to think the best way of phrasing it or where we're seeing it. Like basically I I'm just looking big picture um revenues, expenditures and where our fund balance is and I see where it's going. is there what is what is uh I guess what is the cause and what is the course correction because from what I'm seeing is that we're basically spending more money than we're receiving for the next three years in a row and depleting our fund balance unless I'm reading something incorrectly that that is the projection but uh most of the spending is the one-time funds that we had earned uh received
113over uh through co dollars and put into our fund balance. So I'm we're depleting our carryover um both restricted and unrestricted. So meaning so okay so say this year we are 26 million right is our number that we are spending more than we're receiving. You're saying that that 27 million is all co dollars. Not all of it, but uh half and h half and half, some of it some of it restricted carryover dollars. Uh some of it unrestricted dollars that we had placed into the fund balance that are now being spent. So our HVAC projects that were um taken care of is coming out of that our fund balance. So, do we have an actual number that is a true representation of our fund balance that is not CO dollars and those monies that you're
114speaking of as far as already allocated funds to know what it actually should be resting at as far as basically what is there that's not allocated. Do we have that? I can put that together for you. Okay, we do. We do have that. Yes. Okay. And my concern is basically, is that number staying relatively consistent or going up or going down at this point? Because really, if I'm looking at a fund balance, as a non-financial expert, my big picture concern is that's how much money that the district has that we have left in the bank after we're paying all of our bills. But if there's still more things that are then happening to said money, then that's not actually telling me what I'm actually interested to know. Does that make sense? Yes, absolutely. So that's
115what I would like to know. If we can get that, that would be great. And so at at when we're doing unodudited actuals in the next coming months, we'll have a better picture of what actually is falling in and what's falling out. Okay. As far as budget, we're we're budgeting for all things um possible, but maybe not necessarily to to spend, right? So, we're just sure and we we're showing that we're able to um provide that budget if if if it's so called for, but uh but there will be adjustments as we Oh, yeah. Yeah. I get all the assumptions and I know obviously we just got the governor's, you know, actual budget and you guys have had to make all this obviously prior and you know it that part I understand. I just want
116to make sure that at least on our end from the board side is that we have an accurate depiction of the money the fund balance in terms of just what's not accounted for that is what true yes true fund balance I know what the proper language would be for that but so we can know where it is and I don't know keep an eye on it I guess absolutely and that's that's what we'll be doing um okay there are a few things in the governor's budget that we did not commit to the budget because we did not know, you know, it wasn't um we had capital advisors advising us to put it in and we had school services telling us not to put it in based on what because they they were still deciding on
117what you know what they're going to do with their 14 million $14 billion deficit that they're still working on over the next two years. So it makes it uh from a projection standpoint, it makes it a little bit difficult what to put in and what to put out, right? So um I'm understanding with the budget deal today that they did approve the block grant uh a little less than what they had first uh come with. And also on Vinnie, can you correct me if I'm What was the other part? Um there was a pause for ELOP starting in January. Yes. And then there was a little less on the deferral from June to J July which doesn't affect the budget but was one of the bigger items that came out today. Yeah. So okay. Um
118so I when we bring unodudited actuals to you we'll have that we'll have more information on that and I'll be sharing that with you. When are we looking for that? unuttered actuals are due to the county September 15th. Uh we actually have to have our work done by August 31st. And so and that's going to be based on all revenues and expenditures as of June 30th. So they give us a couple months to get that all done. It is the one report that goes to the state. All the others go to the county. Just FYI. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Everybody else is good. We have goggles on. Yes. Everything's good. Sure. Okay. Okay. It is uh wow. Uh 7:08 and we will reconvene uh from the public hearing. Uh next we'll go on to
119L42 uh agreement for counseling services Jensen School District Business consulting consulting, excuse me, Mr. Beaton. Uh, so with um the help that I received from Mr. Jensen and helping de develop this budget, we've um we'd like to bring it to um to bring him on for another year to help us uh continue on with uh interim reporting and um doing our you our unedited actuals. And so his uh contract here is for you for your approval. I was curious with this. I mean, I'm one I'm glad to hear that it is working out and as far as getting more information and getting better reports and everything. Is everything right now with him just with you or is anyone else getting any other training and or information through fiscal with him? And so, with Mr. Jensen's
120help, I would like to bring his uh services and his um expertise to all our departments. Uh I'll be working with uh HR and and with uh Mr. Godfrey to um and fiscal to uh give us uh some uh some strategies and some uh ways to uh make the district better. So, so that's what this will be for is not just allowing just for you, but also for Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I We're going to take advantage of He wants He would like to work himself out of a job. So, that's our goal. Okay. Does anyone else have any questions? All right. Uh, can I get a motion? So, move. Second. All in favor? I. Uh next we have personnel services certificated L6A1 establishment of seven certificated positions academic intervention teacher elementary. Yes. Thank you. So
121earlier uh Mr. Goffrey spoke about equity multiplier money uh that that district will be has been receiving and specifically some school sites and uh this item is to address the academic gaps that exist in our schools uh and to accelerate the learning for students. So we're we're uh we're talking here about uh seven positions for intervention teachers and uh presented to the board for approval tonight. No questions. And these are all I'm seeing mostly elementary. All elementary. All elementary. Yes, sir. All seven elementary schools. We have three right now. Currently, we do have three. So, we're going to get additional seven. Yes. How how soon is realistic like with our approval tonight? So, good. That's a great question. So, right now we're going through the hiring phases, right? We're interviewing people. Uh we have currently
122four vacancies on my board on our board. Sorry, it's our board. Uh on for the for the uh just the core program. Uh once we fill those positions, we'll start filling some back filling some of these positions and uh the we're going to be working with the principles to uh you know uh pull some seasoned teachers to that have the one the expertise in the in the subject areas to provide those services. So back from those positions very optimistic about where we are right now. We are better than the last four years in terms of our hiring process. Yeah. So, um I think it's going to be good for us to uh provide these services for our students. Cool. Great question. Thank you. All right. Uh everybody else is good. Can I get a motion?
123So move. So move. Second. All in favor? I. And next we have L62, establishment of two certificated positions. wellness counselor, Barstow Junior High and Barstow High School. Yes, thank you. So, um this item is for two wellness counselors, one at Barso Junior High School, another one at Barstow High School. Uh and they're going to be paid out of the equity multiplier funds. Uh the job descriptions are provided for you for each school site. uh the wellness counselors will be providing uh behavioral supports, social emotional learning supports, academic counseling in a in a safe uh environment uh to allow students to be successful at school and it's pre presented to the board for approval tonight. I think it's great. What What would that put us at as far as it's in the wellness category? as far
124as the wellness teachers slashcounselors, what does that put us at at the school sites with this in including this? So, uh, current in the past we it was kind of like a split position, right? So, that person the person in there was providing academic supports, but they don't have a PPS to provide counseling. So, we were running into a situation where it uh we had mis assignments potentially and we were not providing appropriate services for kids. So uh the plan that we have moving forward is we are going to be providing an academic uh wellness teacher and a a counselor for the wellness. So providing both the academic and making sure that that person uh one has the expertise to provide the academics and two is appropriately credentialed and and then the the the counselor
125will be providing the counseling services and then that way we won't have a missignment as well and we'll get quality of service for our students. And so right now I know we had they were just the wellness teachers at the junior high and high school. Where do we have any at or are we any at the elementaryaries currently? Uh BIS has one uh and Cameron has I'm sorry and Crestline has another one. Yeah. To expand that. That's what I was wonder. Okay. So that'll be like the whole or future wise to expand and then add with the same with the counselor piece or is that more like secondary that we're looking at? So it's based on the comprehensive needs assessment that each individual school site perform and and what the needs are. Okay. Uh some
126of the schools are providing actually outside services counseling services to provide those supports. Uh you guys uh approved a contract in the past and so we're providing those counseling services through a different venue. Uh uh but it's it's always you know uh a great opportunity to work with the site principles to determine what their needs are. and uh once they determine what they need, I'm I'm always looking forward to making sure that we we hire the right person to provide the right services or the right resources. So, always open to all that. Thank you. Anybody else have any? Yeah, that's the 240,000 that's for two or for two and that includes also H&W and all of that. Yeah. Sorry to interrupt you. No, no, you're good. All right, if everybody else is good, um can
127I get a motion? So move second listed there. Uh they have different needs. Uh so we we have individuals that need to pass some cetss uh or all of them but in different areas. Um a diligent search was made. No highly qualified teachers uh came uh forward. Uh I am pleased to report that we have some pair of educators on that on this list that are going to promote from within the classroom. Uh we uh these individuals that uh are are actually trained in our system uh tend to do a lot better transition in the classroom. Um uh Tina Carney is one of them. Randy Crack is another and Taylor Weaver Bernita is another one that we know our war pair of educators in our district have resigned and uh represent this item for approval
128tonight so that we they can transition the certificate of employees. Oh well, good to hear. Anyone have any other questions? We need them. I move we approve. Yes. Second. Okay. You got to reconvene. Yep. Yep, we will. Uh, okay. So, it is 7:18 and we will reconvene. And following the reconvene, we have a motion from Mr. Perea. Do we have a second? Mr. Williams. All in favor? I have. So L6 A4 public hearing for waiver for educators employed in specific positions not fully meeting California credential requirements for the 2526 school year recommending the board of trustees adjourn to a public hearing to provide an opportunity for the board to receive input concerning the proposed variable term waiverss of California educators codes for the educators listed covering California credential requirements. It is 7:19 and we will
129adjourn. Mr. Cutter. Yes. Thank you. So, uh these four individuals are CTE teachers and uh this waiver is to uh allow them to instruct our students while they actually get highly qualified in teaching our English learners. And it's presented to the board for approval. When you do your waiver, how long is the waiver for? Uh, if a year it depends if it's a PIP or STIP. Yeah, if it's if it's a PIP, it's it's it's a a year uh a school year. Uh, sorry, a year. And if it's a STIP, it's actually a a sorry, a PIP is a calendar year and a STIP is a school year. So if they start in March, it ends in May. So it could be three month, but this is a waiver. So it's a year. So So
130next year we could give them another waiver. They're saying just Yes. Uh but they they need to work towards making sure that they are highly qualified, taking classes, taking tests, and usually they do it without that. So how long? How long can they do that? until they get certificate. No, not it's not. That's what I'm asking. No. So, so if they start with a variable turn waiver, it's one year. If let's just say they start in August. So, that's that's a whole you know, so variable term waiver, PIP and SIP and then after that they need to complete it. So, after the third year, if they don't complete it, they actually lose their credential. So and one also motivating factor if I am speaking incorrectly by all means can correct but if anyone is fully
131qualified at the time if say like we're hiring again for whatever position in a subsequent year the district has to hire a person who would then meet all of the qualifications. So that's a a large incentive to get all of everything done because then you know what I mean in that in that lane you want to not fall into that category I guess. Any other questions comments? All right it is 7:21 and we will reconvene. Uh, can I give a motion? So move. Second. All in favor? I. All right. We did three. We did. Okay. Uh, L6A5, resolution 20, number 23 for the 2526 school year. speech language pathologist providing services in accordance with California Ed Code 44831. Yes, thank you. So, this resolution addresses um a correction moving forward. Uh we currently contract out
132the district has approved a contract with Presence Learning and they provide speech language pathology uh services for our students. Um, in order for any individual to provide those services in in state of California, they need to be highly qualified uh and and credentialed uh to provide those services uh in speech language pathology and aiology. Okay. Uh and these people that we contract with are providing uh services and the individuals listed in the attachment. look back at the resolution are all highly qualified and credential in the state of California. So, we need a we need to submit a resolution saying that the board adopted this resolution uh in order to meet the requirements under California head code 44831 and uh it's presented to the board for approval. Any questions, comments? Anybody? So, these are the contractors
133that we Yes, they don't. Okay. They work with us. So for our students, but yeah. All right, we don't have any other questions. Uh, can I get a motion? Second. All in favor? I. All right. Next, we have L6A6 Sync Tech Solutions Record Management Contract. Oh, go ahead, Mr. Tongue twisters. Yes. So, thank you. Yes. So, this item right here, uh, if you look at it, um, we are proposing the board approve, it's actually kind of like an extension of a contract that we previously actually approved through pupil services. We already have a an active contract with them. Uh, what we're trying to do is we're trying to actually digitize all our our files that we have. Um just to bring to your attention for your information, we can uh in order for us to
134be compliant under law, we need to have all our personnel files. They just have we cannot destroy it, especially with uh all the litigations that are coming through. So we do have where's that room? Right. Right here. We have a room that has about approximately 550 boxes that we need to digitize. And then we also want to digitize some uh personnel records that we have uh that we need to break down. and this item is presented to the board for approval. Um the let and let me just back backtrack a little bit. The good thing about this is we're going to be able to access those uh those files very quickly uh through through our our platforms and not going through boxes that have spiders and mice and ours getting away. And it's a we
135call it the dungeon. So, it's going to one, it's going to help us uh be able to search and access information quickly uh to meet our deadlines and it's presented to the board for approval. Thank you. Any Well, yeah. I think my first job I ever had back in 1981 was helping two secretaries get in that buck. So, I just want to let nobody everybody out there, we're not trying to eliminate jobs. We're trying to make it easier for our poor secretaries. Am I correct on that? Yes. We we don't want them climbing through boxes to get No. No. I I I Yeah. Yeah. You know, I mean, I was more than happy to do it. I needed money, milk money for my kids. But I mean, you know, it was kind of ridiculous. You
136know what I mean? It was back in 1981. So, you know, this is good move. We talked about it a couple months ago, didn't we, Scott? Scott, you did that. Yeah. Cuz so this is a whole new contract. Yes. We couldn't just amend the old the other contract we had with them to add these to them. This is cleaner uh because it is through personnel services. Uh it's basically an extension of a contract, but it's clear if we do it this way in a new board item because it's a different department. Um it could we could have gone either way. I mean it could be a different department, but it comes out of the same pot of money. But this one this one has the specifics about uh the specifics on the cost of what
137they're going to be providing for our department. So it don't get it. I I I'm not getting it. We already have a contract with them. Why don't we just amended that contract to add personnel services and instead of starting a whole new contract? And the cost of this, like you said, we could have amended the other contract. It doesn't matter whether it's personal services or or or or wherever. It's two different things. They know that it's in a contract. I I I'm sorry. It just doesn't make sense to me. I just but okay it's more I mean you got more uh personnel classified information there than the other I mean I could see that part. I mean you know it's sticky. I wouldn't want my stuff out there unless it's you know qualified. Yeah. Company
138and stuff. And uh this company actually you probably know this from the last time it was presented to the board actually contracted the semian of education. So it is vetted it they have the the cloud space and they have uh all the firewall security systems to make sure that that stuff is all secure. So I yeah I I cuz I remember coming up before I'm like but it's a whole new contract. So we're paying what was it? I I can't remember the number. 200 something thousand for the last contract and we're just adding another 218,000 for this contract. Did anybody ever I know this sounds bad, but you look at it and go, "Hey, $400,000 they could have added personnel services to it." You understand what I'm saying? I'm I got you, but I just
139don't understand the that whether it's in personnel services or or HR cuz it's still going to the cloud and you can still access it. I just for me it's like we're spending extra money when we probably didn't have to spend maybe. But so that's that was why I asked the question the way that I asked it is so there's no difference. So hypothetically on track the first contract cost $100. The second contract cost $100. Just I'm just throwing out fictitious numbers, right? So we spent $200 total. It still would have costed exactly $200 had we done one contract or done two contracts. It wouldn't have changed what that number was going to be. We were still still paying the exact same amount of money. There's no discounted rate. There's no, you know what I mean?
140It's we still had to spend the exact same amount of money. But didn't we have to re we have to negotiate for the new contract. Well, and that's that's part of the um separate contracts is scope and sequence. Yeah. is different for the different departments which is why we went ahead and and did individual contracts for each department to make sure that um because there's there's differences within the departments on what's needed. Okay. So to make sure that that's outlined so when it goes to be paid there's no discrepancy between is that is that pupil services is that personnel services or is that someone else it's it's clear to which contract it applies to. Yeah. Okay. No, I I just this question it did it didn't make sense to me. Yeah, you're good. That's what
141we're here for. Talk about it. All right. Any other questions? With that, do I have a motion to approve? So move. Second. All in favor? Hi. All right, we'll go to classified L6B1 CSEAU number 24. Um, is that correct? Number 24 or is that for the 2425 school year? 24. Okay. uh 010 uh office assistant central enrollment center work calendar adjustment between Barstow Unified School District and California School employees association. Yes, thank you. So thisou um last year we started this the the schedules for the central enrollment uh employees u and uh it was brought to our attention that in doing that one of the employees was um you know uh shorted one holiday. So we we we created an MOU to ensure that uh the June 19th the Junth holiday was was part of
142the calendar so that that person could uh have uh equal number of holidays in in in in the calendar year as compared to the other two employees in in the department. So making that person whole and it's presented to the board for approval. Questions comments? No problem with that. Can I get a motion to approve? So move. Second. All in favor? I. All right. Next is L6 A2 CSEAU or 011 health assistance stipen between B USD and CSEA. Thank you. So, uh, this item is, uh, to provide a $75 stipen for the, uh, specifically the health assistant at Crest Elementary. We have a student in the county class that, uh, just required to receive, um, some additional medical um, supports and, uh, we negotiate in good faith with CSEA, and this typing is to address
143uh, the extra work that you might have to provide for that student. if needed and it's presented to the board for approval. Question, comment. Anybody? One comment. Bravo. All right. Do we uh can I get a motion? So move. Second. All in favor? I. Next is L63 CSEAU 2425-12 reclassification of office assistant between the USD and CSEA. Thank you. So thisou again was negotiating good faith with CSCA. Uh we had a an individual an office assistant in nutrition services that uh submitted a reclassification um for her uh job description and her duties. And uh currently we have a reclassification committee uh composed of two district members and two CSEA members. And we went through that whole process of analyzing the the the job functions uh and and compare that to the the actual description on
144on the job description. And we decided to reclassify this person from office assistant to Christian service support technician changing the range from 25 step 10 to range 37 step 5 a retroactive to July 1st of 2024 and is presented to the board for approval questions comments anyone and can I get a motion to approve? So move. Second. All in favor? I I do you have items for future board meetings? Um I had two. Um one was we we had already previously discussed it. U but just bringing it back up. I almost said it whenever you guys were doing your other retreat, but I said no. Put it in the right place. Um so uh for us for our board retreat um and then I I don't know if this is possible. Um so this is
145more of a a question that I don't know um but with the parns and particularly with the very difficult skill sets that we're able to find. I I'm sure it would take a reclassification. Would it be possible or help if we had two different paras or is that even something that we could do if let's just say the the high high level needs like what you're talking about with the catheterss and stuff right that that's a higher level par SN1 or two which I'm not sure which direction is paid more whatever but then you pay extra for set parn that has to do those extra duties but then because I'm sure out of all the parns we don't have to have all the parsnence that would be to that level of qualification. Obviously, they should
146be paid more. I I would feel they should be paid more if they're taking on extra responsibilities, have extra qualifications, extra duties, right? Would that be something we could do that potentially say some of those other PSN that said no might then say yes without those? But like, okay, but then this person, right, if you're willing to take it on, then you're going to get paid more money. Is that something we could look into doing? So currently what we have is we do have that same family we have a distinction between par educator and parsn and par essence do make more money than par educators uh we negotiated with csa uh in the contract a ta where we're going to be looking at uh cl uh families every year like a group of families and
147then we're going to be doing reclassification as we move forward. uh it's something that we could uh look into to see if we if that falls within the say I didn't know if that's something that could be done or what it would look like but just just to you know look into it and see where it could go to hopefully just try to get some positions filled. Does anyone have any other Yes. you know, I'd like to uh the next meeting I'd like to uh see the hourby hour for the Sams, you know, if I could, you know, close session, whatever. And if I'm out of line, you tell me a close session, please. But uh you know, I I you know, I want to see what they're doing this summer, too. You know what
148I mean? That if we could please see that. I mean, they're asking the custodians to do it. So, it's fair is fair. We'll look we'll talk about it and or discuss what I yeah which lines and all that. So okay I understand but definitely noted. Okay. Thank you. All right. Um and I do believe we are going into a second close. Yes. Okay. So it is 7:38 and we'll adjourn to subsection All right.
