004the lcap the purpose of this hearing is to set aside time to produce information to the public and to receive public comment and input on the district's lcap and budget overview do we have any comments from the public or the board or anyone in the room anyone i just want to say that was the longest lcap i've ever read my sister bailey but thank you very much for getting it together and if i could briefly if we have some slides we'd like to go over just interviews to make the public aware and then see if there's any questions but i want to echo [Music] hello uh i just wanted to echo the the the same comments that you did miss pope that i we we do this as a joint effort when we put together
005el cap but uh i need to give credit to this uh putting our voices into one uh the first time we ever did this we did it as multiple voices and it didn't work did it so we have charged tammy with that so i appreciate the effort that she makes to put that all together so i'm going to try to share my screen here as we go forward let's see all right so what we wanted to do is as we go through this i wanted to share with the board and the community just an overview of what the lcap is what we're looking at and some new enhancements that we're doing with the lcat the plan as ms pope did point out is longer it seems every year it seems to grow uh each each
006year i think it's probably close to 200 pages now but it does contain four components we have the budget overview which is a new addition for parents that which in our district we had a lot of parents saying we really would like to see something a little simpler than the regular budget because it's so hard to interpret and go through it has our annual update that comes annually that reviews the progress we've made on the lcap the lcap actions and services as it is and then the last component which is new and usually not a part of this but uh covet has given us some new areas is the local performance indicator self-reflection piece so tonight really what we're focusing on is the third portion i mentioned the lcap the plan for actions and services
007um and if i can advance myself here uh so what is the local control accountability plan it's a three-year plan that describes the goals action services and expenditures to support positive student outcomes and address state local priorities the lcap provides an opportunity for local education agencies to share their stories of how what and why programs and services are selected to meet their local needs it's a three-year plan this is year one of three uh it does not mean we adopt this and we're stuck in it the the nice part about is it's a living breathing document you may make more progress on some areas you may make less progress each year we come back and update it and bring it back to the board in the community to show where we are um the local
008control accountability plan development uh this one we we really started a new process last year for 1920 was supposed to be the very first year that we were planning for uh our three-year plan kovit pushed that out a year so back in january 2020 we had started some focus groups had pretty good turnout from families and uh district uh staff from a cross-section of our community brought in we did some great table talks brainstorming so instead of throwing that data out we kept that information along with it uh we surveyed our community throughout that time we did zoom meetings we did share out publicly we developed the draft plan from all of that information shared that draft plan with stakeholders from our our associations to our parent groups to we've had it on our website
009different things just to try and get feedback and input and as we receive that we utilize that to see if we can add it and put it within the plan um the the next part is where we are today actually excuse me we do share it with our county office uh the county office reviews it and goes through it and gives us suggestions input to make it better and more friendly and then a new component is through our selfa the special education local uh plan they asked now that we share it with them so they've also reviewed this plan then during tonight we have our public hearing it's an opportunity for more input from from our community and then we adjust any anything that might come out of tonight that we want to adjust to
010put in there and then finally next week uh we do come back on june 16th to see if we can approve the lcap and then we we publish it um in conjunction with the public hearing as you'll hear from ms coronado in a little bit uh they ask that you bring the preliminary lcap and the preliminary budget for the year at the same time so that's why we have that in our meetings today and then of course we do bring this back annually and and take a peek at the progress that we've made uh so through all that data surveying pulling things together we we ended up modifying our goals from the previous lcap um and i'm going to just take a minute to to read them because we we weren't submit them around and
011around and around for quite some time so our first one is all students will graduate college and career ready through a high quality instruction coupled and with interventions and support you have a multi-tier system of sports that eliminates barriers to student success number two all stakeholders will experience a school and district climate that is physically and emotionally safe and supportive and goal three all students will benefit from improved partnerships and communication with all stakeholders and you might think well why three why not four one out one the state has state priorities you have to make sure your goals address all of those state priorities uh when you're developing it so sometimes people why does that seem like that's added in or that seems awkward it's to try and make sure that we're addressing all of
012the criteria that the state is requiring if i move next just to kind of give you a glimpse of the significant size document many of the actions and services that are in it are things that we've carried on for goal one which was our graduate standards-based curriculum teacher collaboration time really focusing on on our plc work using data to drive our instruction new teacher induction program el support special ed support and our cte offerings those are things we are continuing with our plan but enhanced this year through uh not only the lcf dollars that we receive but also through the covent dollars that we receive so our esser we are able to broaden our academic interventions we now have multiple uh staff that we've added to all of our sites to support that a social
013emotional intervention we were able to secure counselors and some social workers to to be a part of our our team uh full day kindergarten spinelli was our only school site that had full day kindergarten previously we will be expanding that this coming year to all school sites our kindergarten folks are excited because if you know kindergarten they do just be a fun play time which is important for students but it got so condensed with academics the full day what we've seen in spinelli is they really enjoy they can have a more pace do some of the things that they are able to do and not just have their time where they're just purely academics they can actually do calendar and money and all that fun kindergarten things um development of our engagement team which is
014also part of our goal too uh our our ap classes are advanced placement classes looking at the enrollment in those and seeing if we're mirroring uh our population is it uh representative of our student body or is it all targeted with with one one group and so we're looking at that and we'll be enhancing opportunities to try to do that with an intervention counselor we have at high school that can allow our counselors to have more time to actually focus on their students and have a smaller caseload and then professional development around pretty much all all of these areas that would help help support uh goal two which is that school climate for lack of a better term and in that what we're looking at is continuing our safe school ambassadors program our sel equity
015task force continued our education related mental health services for our students who are on ieps that are receiving mental health support our homeschool transportation which is we talked last meeting if we can expand we certainly want to because we know that enabling our kids to get to school is a barrier let's get more kids to school if we can health services and this is also an expansion because we have brought on more health support and we're looking at broadening that continually and then facilities master plan and where we're going with that is the idea of accelerating some of our hvac improvements that we talked about putting some money aside towards that as a result from the coven so we can start from the kobe fund so we can start making those advancements on our hvac
016units sooner than later and then what if we enhance the attendance engagement through our engagement team uh expanded pbis as positive behavior intervention support that was it i think three of our schools we will be bringing that to all four campuses starting next year uh k-12 and i'm going to commend mr ferguson for bringing his uh team along uh to get the high school center high school and mr french for getting the high schools as a part of that because it is a nice component where we see four of the schools are speaking a specific language and as they go up the middle school could always see wow that person came from dublin they were in a pbis environment versus someone who might not have been so having that same common language will help us
017significantly expanding school connections through athletics activities and clubs uh diversity and cultural sensitivity training we know that our population that we're serving is is has changed we want to make sure and ensure that we have the ability uh to to understand and meet uh with our community school climate survey through panorama using that data more frequently our sel screener which will allow us especially as we come back with coven to make sure that we understand the learning that students are having not just academically but also as a social and emotional piece of that and then trauma-informed practices training which also is we'll be looking at district-wide as we come through this pandemic and being able to be informed of what trauma our students and get a better understanding of our students and then the one
018that didn't make the spreadsheet up there is team assist we've been utilizing team assist in our summer school programs we've used it before at dudley elementary in north country and it's a program where students or students participate during recess and lunchtime recess through a structured game opportunities that's been really positive uh received and with cover dollars we can help support that for the for the coming year as well and then goal three is um continuing this would be that partnership and communications one of the things we really want to do is is broaden those partnerships we want to make sure not only are we communicating to our our district stakeholders but how do we broaden it to those stakeholders that are outside of our district meaning they're not connected they may not have kids but
019they're in our community how do we partner better with with let's say perkos or as we grow as a district how do we partner with our outside groups adult education uh we've this year we did uh 25 students got their geds through our program which is fantastic communication service calling texting email and website uh continuing to make sure we're getting the message to our families and a method that works for them um you know miss pope may like an email uh mr bruno trace bruno may like it as a text so how do we communicate more and get the information to our families and then continuing with the support of our student and family resource center um enhancing that community and partnerships our outreach support and community engagement offerings through our student and family resource
020really looking at how um mr miranda's department can really partner with us on outside groups to bring resources back in uh in fact we have a meeting next week with a local non-public a non-profit that wants to bring some things in so we're going to sit down through that and talk talk through with them and then increase student and family support services really what this is is we've added more work more employees to that outreach group a social worker has been hired that's targeting our homeless and foster youth students to help our families who are in those categories through through the department there at um our family resource center and then where that takes us then is it takes us to the idea of where we are tonight we're looking for uh expressing to see
021if there's any more public input and then if there is and we adjust it we will make the adjustments then bring this back on june 16th uh board meeting for final approval and at this point we would love to answer any questions take any input whatever i just have one question so far just one um i'm curious about on the the parent summary i guess this is kind of right the overview for parents on page two and it talks about learning loss litigation funds it seems to be like we're supplanting the lcap funds with the learning laws mitigation funds and weren't those intended to be like an enhancement not a not a supplement planting effect so so you can explain it better like we're like we're not using the original set of money for what
022correct so there are allowable uses for the funds and we made sure that we met all of the requirements for them but there are some for instance i'll go over my budget like technology we were able to use the funds to buy chromebooks for everybody because everybody needed them to work from home normally i would do um give the technology department a 400 budget instead we used cobia money to pay for that for all of their technology needs so yes we did use some covered money where normally we would use general fund but that was very much loud no no i think you're missing so what i'm talking about is in the learning loss litigation using the learning loss mitigation fund money instead of the lcap money does that is that the same as what
023you just said i'm sorry i'm like there's okay let me read it to you supplemental concentration funding will be used to continue to provide supports afterwards so right now they're being used to meet the needs of high needs students in lieu of supplemental and concentration funds right so the supplemental concentration funds are still held in their plot of money to be used at a later time when we need them i see yes i see so it's not like we're okay it's just saving them for a future it's almost think about you have ongoing money versus categoricals these covet dollars that we call the esser will expire right if you don't use them you lose them and so we're targeting based on those requirements and enhancing in many many areas okay well and also i would
024imagine that the that the um concentration in supplemental funds can be used for things that the uh lost learning loss litigation funds cannot be used for correct yes they target our special needs population so australia is homeless and eel etc so it has some of the same focus for sure but it is not that they don't expire to do some things that we couldn't do with were there any public comments um about our lcap before i ask my questions why not i do not have any public comments okay okay so my question is um looking at the um the data points and i noticed that all of our data in our lcap is aggregated data and i'm curious about that and if there's a plan to disaggregate and to set some goals that are based
025on that disaggregated um data so that we're really targeting the students who are struggling the most um and that are shown to be struggling the most uh through the disaggregated data um i'd really like to if possible see some movement towards a disaggregation of the data and the achievement data specifically and then goals set around around that is that something that's possible scott or is this from an old i noticed some of the um the data's from like 2015 2016 i was just kind of curious on that on that too and where we kind of where we're kind of starting from as our baseline yes so that is absolutely in the works and a good example was our advanced placement work that we will utilize the most recent data target we we already know that
026it's it does not uh our enrollment in our ap classes is not representative of the um overall student population at center high school so we are using that you will see more as that comes forward where we are disaggregating more in addition when you we start looking at academic uh across the district we'll be looking at the groups uh and things like that so absolutely uh that is 100 a part of the mix so is that something that can be incorporated into next year's lcap like specifically utilizing disadvantage so the metrics that we use we'll start breaking those down as we start reporting that out so i think it will be reflective as we go forward but is that a correct statement but a lot of the metrics are required by okay yeah so that's
027true so thank you tammy so some of we're breaking some of our stamps some of the metrics are required by the state so we have to report what they say that does not inhibit us later from coming back and breaking that data down but we have to cover there for the lcap there's requirements on how it can run correctly that's unfortunate it doesn't it doesn't stop yeah especially for the uh a through g requirement completions too i was looking at that um i'm just really curious to know about our different subgroups and how they're progressing you know towards that because that's college and career readiness i mean right there so i'd be really curious to just take a deeper look if possible and we can definitely bring that data back in the metrics we can
028see that overall number they require and then we can go further and actually break it down through our systems okay thank you thank you any more questions maybe more comments okay i just i want to say one more time i just have to appreciate mr belly's work on this i know we probably you know say it too much but this is a big undertaking and i really do appreciate what she's done and i know i can be a scatter brain at time and we'll throw ideas we'll be in meetings and she does a great job of putting all of those things together i always laugh i always say tammy you're my voice and you're a voice of the community because we take all this information and put it into something and and i just i
029want to give extra kudos for that because that is a challenge um so thank you and now we will uh convene another public hearing this one is on the 2021-22 preliminary question in code section 4212781 requires that the governing board hold the public hearing on the proposed budget at a public meeting purpose of this hearing is to set aside time to provide information to the public and receive public comment and input on the district spending plans for the upcoming years we will if you just give me the nod okay all right sounds good but i'm going to close this down so give me two seconds for that in the budget cycle the district has to adopt our budget before the state actually does their budget and so this is based on information from the governors
030may revise and when the state budget comes out we'll review that and if there are any material differences then in august i'll come back with the how the changes affect the district dr lee can you see that isn't my sharing okay no not not presently no now it is now i see it awesome so in the narrative for the budget i put in detail a lot of the changes that the budget that the governor is proposing but i just pulled out the bullet points of the topics that will affect our budget specifically and so the first one is our cola increase which is great so they the governor is proposing a 1.7 cola for 2122 plus he deferred the cola from last year so we're getting a compounded colon from last year which is 2.31
031percent bringing us to 4.05 percent cola and then he's adding on an additional one percent so he's calling it a super cold black 5.07 so that is um added on to the amount we get per pupil for lcf funding in january it was a 3.84 proposal so that's that's higher than um he had proposed a few months ago so that was good to see special education is not getting the full cola but is getting a 4.05 increase reminder that that goes to our sofa and they determine how that is dispersed to districts so it doesn't come directly to us based on our own special education population what's the whole goal for a special one what's the one you said that we're not getting the full well we're getting 4.05 instead of 5.07 percent that we
032would get for lcs also in the governor's proposal is to expand tk to all four-year-olds in california by 24-25 and as part of that he wants a 10 student for one adult ratio in tk and kindergarten classes and a 20 student to one adult ratio in first through sixth grade um again that was by 24 25 so we'll be watching to see if that makes the budget the june 20 22nd apportionment will still be deferred to july 2022 however all of the other deferrals have been dropped remember we had a lot of deferrals from last this past year so those are still in play and they will still be paid back at the same um same structure so february's deferral is going to be paid in november march and october april and september may and
033august and just be paid in july so we still have about five more months where we'll be getting our money from last year remember i had said at this time last year that we were going to run out of money by now and we're gonna have to take out uh loans there is no pension or tax relief included so the stirs is increasing and the purse is increasing i did hear the legislature say that they want to include that in the budget so i'll be watching to see if they help out employers with the cost of retirement benefits the state unemployment insurance usually it's 0.05 of payroll but because we um a lot of people apply for unemployment insurance have received unemployment insurance that cost is passed on to the employer so it is increasing
0341.18 of payroll again i heard the legislators say they want to take that back to 0.05 and have the state absorb the cost of the unemployment insurance so in uh 2014 the public school system stabilization account was created by voters it was in this past as a result of that any capital gains in excess of eight percent of the general fund has to go into a budget stabilization account so there were a lot of capital gains in the stock market last year and so there is a lot of money coming in to the state of california some of that budget stabilization account money goes into the public school system stabilization account when that amount well so the state's required to set aside 4.6 billion dollars in the public schools system stabilization account when the reserve
035exceeds three percent of the k-12 portion of the prop 98 etc it triggers something for the districts starting in k-12 districts have to keep their reserves below 10 when i forecast ahead in 2122 our reserves will be 19.88 22 23 when this year um it takes effect will be about 23 reserves so we need to spend down our funds and create come up with a really good plan to benefit students and employees so that we can bring the reserves back under 10 and what kind of restrictions are those funds there are they're all unrestricted funds so we could get yes but they are one-time money so it's hard to do ongoing salaries and benefits with these funds i think mr jason's already gained money but capital projects are abs capital projects absolutely fund 17 is
036part of our reserves and we are keeping some of that money um held because we may have to pay for parts of rex fortune elementary before we're reimbursed so we need to keep some of that money to prepay when i'm doing the budget i'm not really looking at what we spent our money on that comes with another actuals in september but i still want to give you a brief update of where our relief funds stand so our round one update we had two slides we had six different plots of money six resources so you can go ahead and look at this and the first plot that carries uh esther one money we received about one million dollars that has been spent the sr2 money we just recently received 4.8 million dollars and we've spent about
037250 000 so that is where a lot of our budget is being pulled from for the age vacuum of things next year in our budget there was the governor's emergency education relief and we have about a hundred thousand dollars left in that of the three hundred thousand dollars next slide the crf um money it was 3.3 million dollars we fully expended that and we have some state money 350 thousand dollars fully expended and some some morse copied that has to be spent by june 30th and it will be spent i just need to transfer some charges so it is so sr2 we still have funds available when do they need to be spent so esther 2 needs to be by september he is three three two for us three and three is in 2024. so
038esther 2 is 20 23 and do we know yet when sr3 is going to be um need to be expended do we get that yet i think it is september 2034 and i'm sorry sr3 how much do we have remaining we have not received it yet we haven't received but we're getting it so that is the next slide this is round two buttons so three you're receiving about 11 million dollars zero is included in the budget for next year because first of all i just found out about that amount and also it is booked as unearned revenue so we uh book the revenue when it's spent and we're not planning on spending it until we set our estro2 money because that expires first so that's not included in the budget and it has to be
039expended september 30th 2024. we have an in-person instruction incentive grant 1.4 million dollars 1.1 million of that is included in the budget and then the eo expanded learning opportunities that's about three million dollars and about two million is included in the budget when you saw the view off the standard learning opportunities plan i think at the last board meeting that's where this money was um was shown to be sent to you can you can you go back to your statement about unearned revenue that you book it when it's spent so that means it will not reflect in our budgets it won't reflect in the budget as revenue or expenditure well until it becomes an expenditure until it becomes an expenditure then it will be bold so i'm assuming the money comes from somewhere else basically
040it's not actually no so what she'll do is she'll oh i don't need to speak for you no i don't mind um so we may get the money but we have two ways to make money there's fun balance where it once we receive the money then it is part of our revenue we've earned it it could carry over from year to year and i don't determine how to book it but the government tells me how to do that yeah and then there's unknown revenue and it is unearned until you actually spend it so it's in our bank account but i can't actually put it on the books and count it uh interesting yeah i guess okay you must keep a separate accounting then to know how much money is there right right right yeah that's
041a very strange way to do accounting yeah school financing is incredibly strange illegal sorry we're not doing it though i should have said that sorry i just mean that some of the practices that the state does like the deferrals and stuff they don't fall under standard accounting practices like creating finance you create a financing yes not our fault when i look at the lcf which i'll get to and our revenue that's coming in i am basing it on the reduction in students that we saw this year so when i look at this next slide it's prett it's actual um ada that i project so this is not where we're going to be funded on i just wanted to show the drop in and the students um that we're seeing right now and that we're hoping
042to come back to our district after we open back up remember in school finance you're either received revenue based on your current year or the prior year whichever is higher in ada the prior year was coveted and they didn't do attendance and so we'll go back to 1920 and be funded on that ada number that amount of average daily attendance for 1920. so uh so that's good for us we'll have that money we can we can see if the students come back and plan appropriately for the next year if they don't like that if they do come back and then our budget will be stronger that would be great so when we look at revenue um 24 2021 is 45 million when you combine um lcf federal money state money local money and this is
043unrestricted we're not looking at the restricted side and all that open money this is just what we can spend on anything 2122 it shoots way up because we have electric buses that we have open pos and are on our books for this year for buying but we're getting reimbursed next year the electric buses are uh 2.4 million dollars so that is looking like rent local revenue next year um so that that is a reimbursement expense and we're giving it so it's really zeros out it just shows two different years and then you can see each year after that it goes up a little as our ada will grow i do even though i'm starting next year to lower 88 i do have it growing each year because of the developments that are coming in and
044you should see growth from that so you look at unrestricted revenue versus expenditures contributions and transfers there is the negative this year of 1.2 million dollars deficit spending but that goes back to the those buses that are over 2 million because we bought them this year we're getting the revenue next year so if you'll see the 2122 revenue it is 3 million something um you would have to take 2.2 million out of that and average the two out just because it crosses yours it's confusing so when you look at 22 23 and 23 24 that's more representative of what our um our surplus is each year about 800 to thousand to a million dollars each year and then our unrestricted ending fund balance it grows each year because we have a surplus each year and
045then again we have to spend some of this money so we get under that 10 percent reserve absent legislation i should say they do they are concerned about that for schools and so they might pass the laws where they do away with that requirement other funds fund 17 as i said we have 2.5 million dollars in that and we're saving some of that to pay for red sports elementary and we have to prepay for anything before getting reimbursed our other post-employment benefits we have 1.65 million dollars and fund twenty and then three hundred forty five thousand dollars actually put in the trust how much do we put in the trust each year just two hundred thousand on this year we can't put this on twenty in the trust it's just i would like to come
046back to school and see how many students we have and see how everything um plays out and then we can move what's from 120 into the trust hunt 20 wants to take out the trust once it's in there we could never take it out or yeah maybe a portion correct yeah so because this is a budget i wanted to just give some information about how money is allocated to the different sites and departments i'm not going to go over each line but i just provided this to you in case you have questions uh elementary schools receive fifty dollars per student and then they receive some title one lottery money and some extra money wilson c riles the only middle school this is 75 dollars per student plus they get athletic budget lottery title one money
047next flight center high school and mccullen high school received one hundred dollars per student i put mcclellan receives a minimum of seventy five hundred dollars so if their students drop to 50 they still receive money as if they had 75 students if they go above that and have um more than 75 students then they'll get 100 per so and then um you'll see the athletics at center high cost 336 000 it's a big chunk of money for that program and then i put every 15 minutes we give some money for theater upkeep et cetera and then mcclellan has comprehensive support and improvement of money csi money and they find an academic coordinator with that money going to the department budgets i don't break it down i just wanted to give you an idea of where
048we spend our money again this is unrestricted and restricted funding and it includes all the salaries of personnel for each department so that's the next two pages and the last page is just some program budge budgets where the money is set aside in its own pot so there's gay for 30 000 et cetera this district-wide technology as i spoke about usually we get four hundred thousand but i put one hundred thousand dollars in the budget um for that from general fund because we'll use some covered money to fund the rest of that and then some programs aren't in here they're in the sites so like every 15 minutes is we donate 5 000 from the district for that program but that's included in center high's budget separates in his own budget so with the technology
049normally we put in 400 000 and this year we got the coven money so did the 400 000 go into a general fund yes yeah we spent well more than technology than the 400 000 right but we got covered money for that correct okay and then next year we'll we'll give technology again the 400 000 correct or more because what we're allowable with a lot of the code money does allow for tax a lot of tech so the budget's much more inflated but once the company monies go on your right we'll go back to 400. that wraps up the summary of the budget do you have any questions well could i make one comment about the technology piece only if you come to the microphone it's just we did do a couple of other things
050too with going we did a voice over ip system and then we replaced a whole bunch of our switches to make our internet really speedy so we we did on top of that um doing the um chromebooks we did a lot of other cool stuff too right to make us perform better and we also i think correct two and the other one i was thinking i forgot those two was we increased didn't we change the fiber optic between us and center high and then those switches so the annex and all that have much needed speed increase a lot of good improvement thank you do you have any questions dr lee no questions um i i'm hoping for more for our gate programs especially at the elementary level but i do realize the challenges um it's
051just really saddening to see the decline of gifted and talented education not just in our district but in so many districts it's so sad for the students and the potentials for their academic futures but i know lisa there's nothing you can do about that with this budget report but i'm just glad to see any amount devoted to that don't we have gate money yeah and what do you think doctor is going to say and i'm sure you're aware um but one thing when when the state did away with the categorical senator kept it and and while i agree it would be nice as we look at budgets we do still offer it and others have abandoned it so i hear you and i just want to point out because we we do do that and
052we've uh i command i think miss bonnie was running it for a while and i totally drawn a blank on who was running katie edwards so we do have some some good things happening and it's great we've been able to keep it in our budgets and the board has always fought for that so glad to hear you support that as well so we do have gate at each elementary site and rides correct okay um quick question a couple of little questions um you'd mention that all of the deferrals are remaining intact but i thought i had heard that one of the deferrals had been eliminated so for this year they're being paid back at the same schedule so 2021 all of the deferrals from february to june are being paid back in the same schedule
053july through whatever november um 21 and 22 all of the deferrals were were um eliminated except the june to july 1. that's right okay and then um i know that we're coming up to the period of time when we would have tried to do a tran and then maybe this is i'm anticipating the next agenda but the fun transfer that we're doing is that to cover for what we would normally have done a tran so for the next agenda no it's so that i can move money into fund 20. fun 13 often goes negative because they're reimbursed after um they pay for their expenditures and that's the cafeteria fund sorry and so i sometimes have to make a loan from the general area fund to get them through and then by the end of the
054year so we don't have to do anything to cover we made it through that's all i'm sure i'll have more questions today i have a question about cafeteria maybe either one of you so i was reading the lcap and i read that there was the issue of um packaging of food because it's so expensive um and it's expensive to get prepackaged food and we don't have the space so as the health service team packaged the food let's say for um let's say it's pick rise because i i saw what their package looks like or is was that packaging reimbursed by the state yes so they were given pandemic release funds and they yeah they bought their grab and go bags and and everything for that and it wasn't just the bags that unfortunately we saw
055in some people's yards um it was also the bags for distribution to the classrooms to keep the the requirements as you all know for food service to keep them cold when we can take them all that is significant so we even had to buy to go bags we'd go drop it each cool almost like many soft ice chests to keep them all at the correct temperature and then as you see too the packaging was much different than we had in the past so yeah and they had to buy new terminals just because they needed to move people through um quickly and so they bought it for more than just that right which which is good that's what the dollars were for to help us get those things versus go for it kind of thing moving
056forward yep thanks do we have any public comment on um the budget comments from the board or anyone in the room i'm just going to keep my theme and thank lisa and her department for for doing this because this also is not an easy feat elk gap is one thing and lisa also helps significantly with the lcap so um i just we need to acknowledge her work on this and there were some crazy days and i appreciate the board's willingness to push the meetings back to this regular schedule because it saved someone in this room probably a marriage and uh anyway but but i want to thank her publicly for the effort that they've done because it is not easy to pull it together and so we appreciate that thank you thank you thank you
057so much we're going to adjourn the public hearing and continue to open session at 6 52. thank you um all right i'm trying to lift my finger to turn the page and i have a milestone advanced planning okay uh future meeting dates regular meeting wednesday june 16 at 6 00 pm here at wild middle school room 503 right here um any suggested agenda items for future meetings and unfortunately i don't think we have time to put anything because the agenda is done but yeah but section down since you have that i do want to acknowledge uh our new vice principal center high hk is with us so i wanted to acknowledge tonight so we are ready for any sort of uh good did
