FJUHSD Board Meeting 6/02/2026

001April minutes attributed to me a statement that I did not make. I know that sounds a little confusing, but that's the situation. The official record should reflect what was actually said. Again, to recap, this is what I actually said, what the minutes state, why this matters, what the May board meeting minutes reflected. Therefore, my request, the official record should reflect what I actually said. I think that's fair enough. Thank you. I've also submitted an article about this matter and the board packet supply tonight to the board. Thank you. >> Okay, we have a motion and a second to approve the minutes. Uh, and we need a roll call vote. >> Thank you, >> Mrs. Clader. >> I, >> Dr. Mr. Calhoun >> I. >> Mrs. Folly >> I. >> Mrs. Bushie >> I. >> Thank

002you. >> Okay. Thank you. Okay. Next is uh school reports. Dr. Mcofflin. >> Thank you, President Bushi. Members of the board. Excited to be in June uh and our last school reports of the year and our first for our official new principal of Sonora High School. So, I'd like to welcome Mrs. Cra officially as principal of Sonora High School to give her first official principal site report. Mrs. Crayle. >> Thank you, Dr. Mclofflin, President Bushie, members of the board. May was filled with memorable end of the year activities and celebrations at Sonora High School. Our seniors enjoyed several special events, including senior awards night and senior breakfast at David Busters before culminating their high school journey with a beautiful graduation ceremony. And thank you both to Mrs. Clasker and Dr. Mclofflin for attending. Graduation was

003truly a special evening. We were fortunate to have perfect weather and our graduating seniors delivered outstanding speeches and performances. One of the highlights was a piano and trumpet duo of You've Got a Friend in Me, which qu uh which quickly became a crowd favorite and captured the spirit of friendship and community that defines Sonora High School. As I reflect on this past year, I am reminded of many moments that made it so memorable. We were fortunate to have an exceptional student board member, Ariana Machado, whose leadership helped elevate student voices across our district. Our students demonstrated a commitment to service through events such as our food drive, gave us reasons to celebrate through their achievements like our CIF girls wrestling championship, and created lasting memories at events such as prom. Every day our students worked

004hard academically, competed with pride athletically, and actively engaged in our school community. We are also excited about the successful start of summer school and the many campus improvement projects now underway. The exterior painting of the school has begun and is already transforming the look of our campus. In addition, renovation work has started in our science classrooms and other areas of campus, creating updated learning spaces that will benefit students for years to come. These accomplishments, both large and small, are what makes Sonora such a special place. They reflect a culture where students feel connected, supported, and valued. Sonora is truly a pa a place where everyone belongs, and I am grateful to have been a part of such an incredible year. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mrs. Crayo and welcome to your principal ship. Congratulations again

005from La Haber High School, Mr. Garcia. >> Thank you, Dr. Mclofflin, President Bushie, and members of the board. Last week, we celebrated one of the most memorable moments and milestone in our students journey as we had 507 Highlanders cross the stage at graduation in front of a packed stadium. We extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Calhoun for joining us on such a special evening. The timing could not have been more perfect. As we concluded the ceremony, the rain began to fall. In athletics, we are also in pursuit of a CIF state regional championship as our softball team needs two more wins to add to our CIF championship uh collection this year. Uh last night, Ace Himemenz and Bobby Brooks were named the Century Conference Student Athletes of the Year. They were recognized

006across 15 schools and about 10,000 student athletes. Their accomplishments have cemented their place among the most decorated athletes at La Habra High School's history as they are CIF champions, league CI, league CIF, and Orange County Players of the Year. We also say farewell to one of La Habra's legends. After 32 years of service, Ray Lopez has retired. Known for his quick wit, passion for culture, his performances, history, and unique ability to spark curiosity in generations of students. Ray has left an incredible mark on our school, in our community, by making history come alive. And ironically, after 32 years, Ray is now officially part of our history curriculum. He's done. So, thank you to Ray Lopez. As we close another successful school year, we reflect on how far we've come together. The accomplishments of the past

007four years tell a powerful story of growth, of opportunity, and of resilience. They remind us that our greatest strength is not a single program, not a championship, not an achievement, but it is the people who make the La Habra community so special. It's our staff, it's our students, it's our families, and it's our alumni. So, thank you. And this concludes our report. >> Thank you, Mr. Garcia. From Levis Laser Schools, Mr. Caill Leon. >> Thank you, Dr. Mclofflin, President Buchcci, and members of the board of trustees. Uh tonight I would like to share highlights from three special events that celebrate the accomplishment of our students as we concluded the school year. First, we held our adult transition program certificate of completion ceremony where we honored 21 graduates as they completed their ATP journey and prepared

008to transition into adult programs, employment opportunities, college experiences, and greater independence. Throughout the ceremony, families heard stories of perseverance, growth, and success as each graduate was recognized for their unique accomplishments and contributions to our program. It was a meaningful celebration of the life skills, job skills, confidence, and independence these students have developed during their time with us. Next, we hosted our celebration of excellence recognizing students from La Vista High School and Iser online academy for the academic achievement scholarship and special honors. Students were recognized for earning principles honor role, the California State Civic seal of engagement, dual enrollment, college credit through Fullerton College, and numerous community scholarships. It was inspiring to see so many students and families come together to celebrate their hard work res uh show their resilience and commitment to achieving their goals.

009And finally, on May 28th, we celebrated graduation for the class of 2026 at the Buena Park High School Stadium. Our graduates represented countless stories of persever perseverance, determination, and personal growth. Many of these students overcame significant obstacles while staying focused on their goals of graduation. It was memorable evening filled with pride, excitement, and hope for the future as students crossed the stage and began the next chapter of their lives. I want to thank our families, staff, counselors, administrators, cabinet, the board of trustees, and community partners for their unwavering support of our students. Your commitment helps make these successes possible. Thank you. And that concludes La Vista Lasser High School's report. >> Thank you, Mr. Kil Pony from Troy High School. Dr. Minster. >> Thank you, Dr. Mclofflin, President Bushy, and members of the board. Last

010Thursday, on a beautiful evening, Troy held our graduation ceremony for the class of 2026. This was a celebration for all of them and their families as they concluded their high school careers. But it was also a celebration of a wonderful school year for all our student and one in which our students in school were recognized for their achievements inside and out of the classroom. California blue ribbon school, California school awards our athletes in the performance in season in league and CIF playoffs. Academic competition teams within speech and debate mock trial since Olympiad. They took third place by the way in nation. uh NGOTC, airborne and underwater drones, robotics, orientering, trotch internships. These were all part of this wonderful year for our students. Summer is here and Troy is getting ready to do it all over

011again next year. Our students and staff are ready to slow down a little bit during the summertime, except for the 400 Troy Tech seniors and their teachers as their 150 hour internships just began yesterday. That will keep them busy for the next six weeks. Troy High School wishes everyone a wonderful and relaxing summer, getting some rest and relaxation and being recharged and ready to go for the beginning of the school year. Thank you. And this concludes my report. >> Thank you, Dr. Minster from Sunny Hills High School, Mr. Winri. >> Thank you, Dr. Mclofflin. Good evening, President Buchcci, members of the board. The last few weeks of school this year were very busy for the Lancers as they wrapped up the school year. This year we held our first ever senior awards night in the

012gym and we were able to recognize over 400 senior standouts with individual department awards, community scholarships, athletic awards, CTE and program graduation stole and chords, as well as our validictorians. The biggest surprise of the night though happened when our when we revealed which senior student had been secretly playing our new mascot, Winston the Lancer, this year. And so way to go to Laurel Henderson for keeping it a surprise all year. Nobody had any idea. It was the biggest gasp of the night. Uh overall the gym was packed with parents and students excited to acknowledge all the amazing accomplishments of our senior Lancers. A couple other highlights from the end of the school year included seeing the Lancers hit the waves again uh with our physics boat day. It was the first riata for our new

013physics teacher, Mr. Wes Farrell, and he did an excellent job bringing together the creativity of our students and their projects right there. It's also uh it was also the ASB hosting our second annual Lancer Jam, end of the year festival for all of our students to celebrate the end of the school year. Uh well over 300 students came together to celebrate with food trucks, bounce houses, music, raffles, other fun activities. It was all free of charge provided by our ASB. On the athletics front, uh we wrapped up the spring season with our uh Paul Jones, our athletic director, and our girls basketball coach, Jay Beun, uh the with their second year-long lead program, which is our leadership education and development for our student athlete leaders. Coach Beyond led a cohort of 50 more student athletes

014through an engaging curriculum to help them develop their individual and collective leadership skills uh in order to have a positive impact on their teams, not only this season, but hopefully into next season as well. And then finally, our school year also wrapped up with an amazing graduation ceremony for our 582 graduates for the class of 2026. Thank you to President Buchcci and Dr. Mclofflin for being there with us. And I just want to congratulate those seniors one last time for their hard work and outstanding accomplishments during their time on the hill. Thank you. And this concludes the Lancer report for June. >> Thank you, Mr. Winrich from Wayenberg High School. Dr. Burke. >> Thank you, Dr. Mclofflin, President Bushie, and members of the board. We successfully closed out the 2526 school year with a strong

015focus on student achievement, engagement, and college and career readiness. Throughout the month, we celebrated the accomplishments of our students through senior awards recognitions, college signing days where students committed to universities, community colleges, military service, and career pathways. And then of course, graduation activities including a wonderful ceremony last Thursday evening. So, thank you Miss Foley and Dr. Zener for being there and sharing that moment with us. Our students continue to demonstrate leadership and school pride throughout throughout uh activities highlighted by PANA news and I need to give them a huge shout out because that's our weekly broadcast that's put on by our video uh our video production program. In addition um service organizations like our our growing interact club which champion city projects like the new coyote park and so this showcased our students commitment to

016giving back to their community and creating positive change on campus. Spring athletics concluded actually on graduation day. We had a golfer competing that morning. He'll be highlighted a little bit later tonight. Um that highlighted a strong year for Bueno Park with over 75% of our programs competing in the playoffs, including a few highlevel athletes, and you'll see some from swim and golf later on. Uh most importantly, our athletes closed out the year with an average GPA well above 3.0 with about a dozen committing to play next year at the collegiate level. And as we move into summer, we're still going strong. And we currently have two students in Atlanta uh competing in the National Robotics Comp competition and two artists heading to Washington DC later this month to hang their art in Congress. So I

017would like to thank our teachers, classified staff, families, community partners, and of course our board and district staff for their continued support of our students. We are proud of what our students have accomplished this year and we look forward to building on those successes next year as we prepare for the 2627 school year. Thank you and this concludes my report. >> Thank you Dr. Berg. And finally from Fullerton High School, Mr. Caffrey. >> Thank you, Dr. Mclofflin, President Buchcci, and members of the board. As we conclude the 2526 school year, June has been a time of celebration, reflection, and gratitude at at our high school. Graduation serves as the culmination of an incredible year and a celebration of the accompl accomplishments, growth, and resilience of the class of 2026. We are tremendously proud of our

018graduates and the positive impact they've had on our school community. Their success reflects the dedication of our students, staff, families, and community working together towards a common goal. Throughout the month, we celebrated many important traditions that make Fullerton such a special place. Senior breakfast, senior sunset, the Fullerton Festival, Senior Awards Night. They all provided meaningful opportunities to honor our seniors and recognize their achievements. These events highlighted not only academic accomplishments but also the character, leadership, and perseverance demonstrated by the class of 2026. June also marked the conclusion of another successful year of learning, growth, and student engagement. Our students continued to excel in the classroom, participate in a wide variety of activities, and contribute positively to our campus culture. The final weeks of school were filled with celebrations of student achievement, performances, recognition, ceremonies. As

019we look to the 20 back on the 2526 school year, we are grateful for the commitment support of our teachers, staff, families, alumni, community partners, and our board of trustees. The success of our students is made possible by the collective efforts of so many individuals who invest their time, talents, and energy into making Fullerton an exceptional place to learn. We are proud of class of 26. We are equally excited about the future and look forward to welcoming our returning students back in August. Thank you for your continued support of Fullerton Union High School. This concludes my board report for the month of June. >> Thank you, Mr. Caffrey. Thank you, principles. >> Okay, >> Lauren, did you have any comments you'd like to make? >> Any comments from any of the board members? >> Thank

020you for your reports. Um, I just wanted to make one comment about the graduations. Unfortunately, we only get to go to two because of timing, but I did watch all of yours on YouTube and they were all great. So, congratulations. It's just really fun. I didn't listen to Pomp and Circumstance the whole time only. It's bad enough. It's in your head after. But anyway, thank you for your report. So, okay. Um, next is timely information uh from the superintendent. >> No. And the board, you didn't have anything. Okay. Um, next we have updates from our employee associations from Fullerton Secondary Teachers Association. Magdalena Valba. Did I say your name correct? There you are. Would you please say your name for me? I looked at it like five times and I I thought I was going

021to ask Deanna and I forgot. >> It's Magdalena B Albba. >> The Alba. Okay. I don't have the good accent like you do. >> That's perfect. U Good evening. Uh thank you. Uh good evening to Superintendent Mclofflin, board members, and members of the cabinet and principles. Uh it is my honor to represent the Fullerton Secondary Teachers Organization this evening. Uh during our FSTTO spring elections, we elected our new representative council members, directors, and officers. For the 2026 27 school year, the FSTTO officers will be myself as president, Amanda Gizer as vice president, and Kenneth Eaves as treasurer. At this time, we have a vacancy for the secretary and we'll be running a special election in the fall to fill that position on our officer team. Uh this upcoming weekend, our three CTA state council delegates

022would be will be in Los Angeles representing FSTTO at the state level. And in early July, FSTTO will be sending four local delegates to Denver to represent our members on the national level. Finally, in late July, FSTTO will be sending a team of members to the CTA summer institute to receive training to equip them to better support our members. As F FSTO embarks on these new beginnings, I would be remiss if I did not thank Angie Senak for her years of service as past president. FSTTO members appreciate the work she did on their behalf. Thank you, and this concludes my report. >> Thank you, Mandela, and congratulations on your new job. Uh, next we have the president of CSEA, Bill Hagar. There you are, Bill. Good evening, Dr. Mclofflin, President Buchcci, and members of the

023board. Um, if you haven't noticed, I got it a little trimmed up. Get it a little closer to Santa Claus for in July. It's >> your summer trim. Um, as the school year has come to an end, many of our CSA members have ended their year and there's not a lot to report for me. But on May 21st, Joanie, Candace, and I attended the virtual uh, May Revis, and there seemed to be some pretty good information there, which is good for all of us. Uh 17th through the 23rd was classified school employees week and the eboard acknowledged all of the hard work by giving each of the CSSEA members a gift card and a goodie bag and we appreciate all the classified staff all that classified staff members do for our staff and students. On

024May 19th, we had to say goodbye to a bunch of uh well, there weren't many here, but there's several retirees that uh I'm happy to be able to see out was happy to be able to see out there last week. And you know, you you're talking about individualized graduations. It was one long graduation starting nine o'clock on Tuesday morning through through Friday. Um, I think last I heard there were 27 events at our three stadiums during that time and it was a zoo, but it was awesome and it was good to see all the kids out there from the junior highs as well as our our schools. So, thank you very much. >> Thank you. I don't think the public realizes all the work that goes on behind the scenes to make all these things

025happen. So everybody participates in that >> and a reference to the community too and our feeder districts using our fields and uh support of of their promotion event. So it's a busy busy time. So we appreciate Bill and the classified staff for supporting all that even uh even our feeder districts. So thank you. >> Great. Okay. Next is accommodation and recognition. Dr. Zener, please. >> Thank you, President Bushi, members of the board and Dr. Mclofflin. We have some incredible spring athletes to introduce you to this evening who are waiting outside. But first, before we do that, I'd like to introduce our assistant superintendent of human resources, Mr. Mark Miller, to kick off our recognitions. >> Thank you, Dr. Zener. Um, and with that, I'd like to continue on with our labor partners, and I'm going

026to ask Miss Angie Sinak to please come on up. First, I want to congratulate and welcome Magdalena as the new FSTTO president. Uh Magdalena, I look forward to continuing our collaborative partnership between FSTTO and the district as we work together to support our employees, students, and community. But tonight, I also want to recognize outgoing FSTO president Angie Sinc. Angie was elected FSTTO president in 2020. Everyone remembers 2020. It was a great time to come in and be FSTTO president, right, Angie? Absolutely. >> And throughout her tenure, she served the district with humility, pride, and unwavering dedication to the members she represented. And more importantly, she helped established and strengthened a collaborative relationship between FSTTO and district administration that benefited not only employees, but ultimately the students we all serve. Throughout her strategic leadership, Angie and

027her team successfully negotiated two consecutive three-year agreements, providing stability and consistency for the organization during a time when many districts across the state faced uncertainty and division. Since 2021, when factoring in salary and benefits, FSTTO has successfully negotiated a total of 19.49% 49% in ongoing raises and 12% in one-time compensation improvements, all while maintaining district sponsored health and welfare, medical, dental, and vision benefits. Angie and her team were also instrumental in securing new salary schedules for speech and language pathologists, school psychologists, mental health specialists, and most recently, school nurses. What I appreciated most about Angie was that while she fiercely advocated for her members, she always kept the best interests of students and the long-term stability of the district at the forefront of every conversation. We had many conversations about both of our roles being

028stewards for the future and ensuring the long-term health of this wonderful organization for the next generation of employees and students. With that said, we did not always agree. However, even in difficult conversations, Angie helped create an environment where disagreements remained civil, respectful, and productive. In today's world, that is something I do not take for granted. There was always mutual respect, honesty, and a shared commitment to doing what was best for the organization and the students we served. And personally, it helped to know that her Achilles heel is her grandchildren and her dog. I've always been doing this work. I've been doing this work for a very long time. And one thing I am proud to say is that from Sally to Bob to Tim to Duncan, all former uh union presidents that I have worked

029with, I have maintained relationships with every one of them after they completed this their term. And Angie, you will be no different. Angie, thank you for your leadership. Thank you for your partnership. Thank you for your stewardship. And most importantly, thank you for making this district the place to be. that's hard to follow. Um, it was an amazing six-year run. Um, and I did come into this in 2020, June 1, 2020, when we were trying to all decide what to do and how to do this and that craziness that co brought to us. And it was just that that very first year, we we brought Vicki Calhoun onto the board that the end of that uh middle of that 2020 school year, 2020 2021 school year, and man alive did we have a lot to

030do. Um, in 2021, we welcomed Dr. Mclofflin and our first meeting was standing right there and I shook my I stuck my hand out and said, "I'm Angie." And he said, "I know who you are." And my heart sank and I thought, "Oh dear, this is going to be fun." And it has been. Thank you for your your service, your for listening. You and I have never agreed very often, but I I thank you for taking my 7:30 a.m. phone calls, my 7 pm phone calls, my Oh my gosh, I'm going to go crazy here if you don't pick up the phone phone calls, and for always listening. I cannot thank you enough for that. Mark, same with you. Thank you for always I knew to call them in the morning when they were in

031their cars and had nowhere else to go. So that I I that was my um that was my one shot at okay, this is they're going to have to talk to me. So thank you for that and thank you for the enduring friendship that I know will continue long beyond this. Thank you. Um I Sylvia, thank you. You said something to me last week that spoke to my heart when you told me we both have learned something from each other. And even in those times when we were sitting across from each other ready to just kill each other, we still learned so much from each other. We walked away thinking we can agree to disagree and it's okay. But we learned something from it. And thank you for that. So thank you everybody. Principles, thank

032you for always letting me intrude on you. the calls that I always made, the text messages that would say, "Call me right away." And you always did. I'm so thankful for to all of you for that. I am going to be going back in the classroom in August. I am so excited to be back at Lassier with Principal Kyle Pony and right next door to Amanda, my partner in crime. And I need to thank those four ladies sitting over there because without them, none of this would have been possible. They were with me through everything. The good, the bad, the ugly, the fun. We We've done so much together. I can't thank you guys enough. Nolina Bechum would have been here, but she's going to the she's she's taking a road trip and then heading

033to the PLC conference, I think, this weekend. So, she's been she's been my ride or die, too. So, thank you guys so much. Thank you all so much. And I wish you all the best. And I just realized this is my very last board meeting ever. So, thank you. >> All right. Now, I'd like to have Megan Castanada please come up. >> Hi. >> Tonight, we are thrilled to officially appoint Megan as our director of special education, removing the interim title. And since 2008, Megan has demonstrated an an unwavering commitment to inclusive education, combining instructional mastery with compassionate leadership to support students with special needs. Most recently, she stepped up from her role as a special education coordinator to serve as the interim director, managing programs across several school sites and partnering staff and administrators

034to deliver premier educational services. However, most importantly, she stepped up provide to provide stability during a time of transition. Megan's professional journey is highlighted by significant contributions, including her tenure as an assistant principal at the Orange County Department of Education. In that capacity, she oversaw special education programs ranging from preschool to adult transition while also mentoring educators and enhancing instructional techniques. Furthermore, her background as an educational specialist and teacher on special assignment provided her with extensive experience working with students with moderate to severe disabilities and assisting faculty with behaviors, supports, and classroom management. We are deeply appreciative of Megan's leadership and the profound influence she has already had on our students, families, and staff. Congratulations, Megan, on your well-deserved appointment as the director of special education. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mark. Thank you, everybody.

035Uh, first I want to recognize uh my husband, Josh, who's here to support me tonight. Thank you, Josh. And my grandma, Linda, my number one fan, grandma, is here. Stand up, grandma. Thank you for being here. Um, I'm just continually grateful for all the opportunities that uh seem to keep presenting themselves to me here in this district. um having a wonderful time and I appreciate all the support that everyone up here has shown me, all the kindness, uh the patience as I learn these new roles, learn the district, um and especially uh Dr. Kaufman, the larger ed services team, my special education team representative here back there somewhere. Um so I appreciate everyone very much and I'm really looking forward to continuing all the good work we do on behalf of all of our students

036here. So thank you so much, >> Dr. Xener, before we move on to the uh can I ask if the board members have any comments that they'd like to make? Lauren, is there anything you would like to say? >> Um, well, I just like to thank Angie for her service.

040what truly is the role of the union to remove distractions from our teachers so that they can focus on doing what's best for our students and making their lives better. So, thank you for that.

Uh, starting with our swim team, and

054we will start with our head coach, Mr. Sergio DGO. All right, so for our swim program, we had some really good CIF finalists. Uh, starting with Rowan Parker. Come on down, Rowan. And so Rowan was a CIF finalist. He finished 13th in the 500 freestyle. And then Isabella Zia. So Isabella is part of our 400yard uh freestyle relay team. And so uh she did an amazing job with our relay squad. And so our next three members of the relay team, uh, Claire U and Lauren Jacobson and Evelyn Granis. And so these young ladies were a part of our CIF finalist uh, 400 relay team. Now, Evelyn uh, also had a great season. and she was a state qualifier as well.

055uh 13th place and then uh she was also in the 200 freestyle and she where she finished 11th and in the 500 freestyle she finished four fourth in CIF and then went on to state as well. So that was pretty cool. Uh Evelyn went to the CIF state championship and finished 22nd uh in the CIF state uh race. So, uh, these are our swimmers and they had a phenomenal spring. So, Sunny Hills Aquatics. We have more. Do you want me to keep going? All right, bring them all. All right, here we go. Boys volleyball coming down next. Uh, coached by Albert Sulligan. And, uh, these guys had a great season. Uh, they've really helped lay the foundation for our awesome volleyball program. Uh we have had five league championships in six years and two CIF

056championships in uh five years. Teamwork. We're good. There we go. All right. So, representing our boys volleyball team, we have Owen Philadelphia and Christian Lee. All right. So, our boys volleyball program uh has had a really epic run. Uh we have been Crest View League championships um or champions uh the last uh two years and we have had an amazing streak. Our coach has done a great job. Uh this year the boys were CIF champions and they won in dramatic fashion. It was really cool to uh be out there to watch them win. Uh so this year their record was 24-6 overall and uh we finished second in the Crest View League and uh they were CIF champs which was it was a great match. Uh Mr. Winri and I were there uh sweating and

057clapping for the boys uh watching them win. It was pretty amazing. Uh they also qualified for CIF State uh which was uh really cool. almost the second time uh in our boys volleyball program's history going to state and uh this is our second CIF championship in five years. So that is our boys volleyball program. Next we are recognizing our boys golf program. Our golf program is not here because they are playing in CIF State. So they will be playing in the CIF state championship tomorrow. Uh so that is pretty cool. Um they have had a pretty epic season. Uh they're ranked number two in CIF the entire year. Um which was great and they played like it. Uh they won the the Crest View League Championship. Uh this is the 22nd time that we've won

058first place in league for boys golf. So they are keeping the streak alive. Uh Felipe Joall uh he was our league MVP for boys golf and Jaden Bake was the sorry Jansen Bake was the CIF Central Regionals individual CIF champion. Uh just an amazing season and then the boys went to the CIF Southern Section Championship uh where they were the runner up and they just played very well. And then in the CIF Southern California Regional State Championship, uh, which was last week, the boys won, uh, in very dramatic fashion, which was really awesome. And Cole Kim, uh, one of our seniors, uh, he was the individual Southern California Regional State Champion, which means uh, he had the best score out of all of the players. And so how it works is you there's CIF Southern

059section where we were runner up. if you uh place high enough in the southern section, then you qualify for the uh regional state championship. And so that's what we won last week uh on graduation day actually. So we had some of our seniors finish playing and then uh run to graduation. So uh that was pretty cool especially for Cole Kim who was one of our seniors who was going on to play in college. And so the boys will be playing tomorrow in the CIF State Championship. So that is our boys uh golf team and our our awesome spring for Sunny Hills athletics. I know. >> Oh, sorry. And now introducing our Troy Athletics director, Mr. Chris Bloom. >> That's all I got. Good evening, President Buchcci, members of the board, Dr. Mclofflin, um, district administration,

060thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight and for your continued support of Troy athletics and athletics as a whole in our district. So, I have the honor of presenting two Troy athletes tonight. only one is able to make it. But I am going to recognize Kosi Onuigbo. Um Kosi is a senior track athlete. Um who's been one of our top jumpers over the course of her high school career. She has multiple league titles in the long and triple jump. This year she was free league champion in the long jump and qualified for division one CIF finals. Um which is no small feat in the southern section. It's a hot bed for athletics in the country. Division one. Uh Kosi graduates with a 4.15 GPA and will be attending Fullerton College in the fall. And

061now Sophia Timoshuk. Um she has been a constant in the track and field program at Troy High School. She competes um in both the hurdles and multiple jumps events and pretty much anywhere we ask her to compete, she competes um without question. This year she qualified for CIF division one in the high jump and earned a spot at the mast's meet as well. She is a Troy Scholar Athlete of the year. She is a Troy validictorian and she will be uh attending UCLA in the fall and um studying applied mathematics. Um both Kosi and Sophia have represented Tore High School and the Fullerton Joint Union High School District well and we are extremely proud of both of them. Congratulations everyone. President Bushie, that concludes our commendations and recognitions. Okay, that is always so much fun.

062Any comments from anybody? No. Okay, uh at this time we will take a 15minut break. Okay, >> that was Lauren, >> are we missing Lauren? >> No, I'm here. >> You're there. Okay. Were you asleep? >> No, I was having trouble unmuting. Sorry. >> It's three hours later where you are. >> Yes, >> it is. It is very late here, but I am awake and with you. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. like to call the meeting back to order. And we now are at public comments and I have a blue card here from Allen community member. >> Uh good evening uh board trustees, Mr. Mclofflin, district staff, and members of the public. My name is Alan. Uh at the May board meeting, I spoke about the release of a 61page uh investigation report by

063assistant superintendent of human resources, Mr. Miller. The report was provided to me without any redactions and included employee names as well as verbatim interview statements of employees. I received several communications regarding this matter and I'd like to share them. The questions I received was, did I request the unredacted report revealing employee names and documented statements? I did not. They were sent to me by an email. The email simply stated, "Please find attached a copy of the investigation report as well as a letter to you with the outcome of the investigation. No other information or statements made. A statement or an exhibit of that email will be included in the board report. Second, were other district leadership aware of the release? Yes, the superintendent has been aware of the report's release for an extended period of

064time. Two of multiple emails discussed in the report will be submitted to the board as exhibits. The third question I received was, is it possible the report was released as an error? And I do not know. However, the district has never informed me the release was made an error. So, I can't answer that question. A fourth question which was just re was just received by me prior to my coming here was raised um and asked uh does HR also handle student or student sensitive reports and investigations and if so how are student reports handled? At the last board meeting I encouraged our trustees to review this subject with legal counsel. Hopefully that review process has begun and we can get clarification tonight. Sometimes the board members make statements after public comments, sometimes they do not.

065Question for the board tonight are straightforward. Does the district have a written policy governing the release of investigation reports to the public? If so, does the policy address reports involving students or student sensitive matters? Also, additionally, if the release of unredacted investigation reports was inconsistent with district policy or legal requirements, what documented steps have district leadership taken to review, evaluate, or correct such practice? And has verified training accord? I respectfully request of our trustees, particularly our board officers, President Buchcci and Clerk Clatker, exercise appropriate oversight on this matter and publicly clarify the district's policies, practices, and safeguards regarding the release of investigation reports. Such clarification could help parents, district staff, and members of the public better understand how sensitive information is handled and protected by the district. Thank you. Okay. Um, superintendent comments. >> Not

066at this time. >> Okay. Next are reports. Uh, and first we have um, education assessment services a public hearing or actually local control LCAP. >> Thank you, President Bush. As as Dr. Coffman goes up. Uh yeah, for tonight, uh the ed services team is here to present our LCAP prior to our open public hearing. There is no action today. Uh but we'll solicit any input from the community or if the board has any questions. Uh the action item will be on next week's agenda on June 9th. Dr. Kaufman. >> Thank you and good evening, President Buchcci, members of the board, Superintendent Mclofflin, and guests. Tonight, we are pleased to present the local control accountability plan. This evening we will move through three parts. First, reviewing our past year, our LCAP annual update, and looking ahead

067for the 2627 school year. This slide brings the pieces together and shows how our work is connected. Our planning begins with the eight state priorities and is guided locally by the board priorities. Stakeholder input helps shape the LCAP by identifying broader goals, actions, and resource needs. Each school then uses this information and aligns uh this information in in order to align and construct their school plan for student achievement which is the SIPA translating direct priorities into site specific goals together. This creates a connected planning process that is aligned, collaborative and focused on improving outcomes for students across the district. As with our previous ed services presentations, we start with our vision. This vision represents what we strive for every day in this district. To inspire and accelerate learning within environments where all students and staff

068feel safe, engaged, and supported in a collaborative culture built on trust. Our set for success model is how we put this vision into action. It organizes our work around three core components: supporting, equipping, and teaching. As we look ahead into the 2627 school year, we're in we are introducing an expanded instructional vision for the district. Every classroom, every day, every student where best instruct instruction serves as a key foundation where academic growth and social emotional supports are a priority. And this focus will help us move towards our moonshot whereby in 2027 at least 80% of all district graduates will be college and career ready. This is how we define college and career readiness in our district where graduates are prepared to pursue multiple post-secondary pathways with confidence, purpose, and skill. These are just some of

069the ways students can meet our moonshot goal of 80% through CASP, the annual testing, CTE pathways, and dual enrollment. We will now move into the 2526 areas of focus and review within the review with the board where we have been over the last year. As a reminder, our areas of focus included enhancing curriculum planning through best first instruction, site team co-eing, targeted intervention supports, continued support for English learners. We also focused on targeted CTE programs, annual progress monitoring towards CASP and continued counselor and mental health supports at all sites. These focus areas were not separate initiatives. They were connected efforts designed to improve student outcomes while supporting the whole student. As we know, a major foundation of our work has been the development of a consistent district-wide data-driven approach. This protocol gives our teams a

070common language for reviewing and responding to data. Here's what, so what, and now what. This is how we uh analyze our data districtwide. Data is an important part of our decision making in educational services. And tonight, we are narrowing that data informed planning lens to the LCAP. Now, let's look at several data and program highlights for the 2526 school year. As you may recall in October, we provided an update that f focused on outcomes and key areas of progress. One of the areas highlighted in October was the work of our mental health and wellness staff. The data showed over 2600 individual sessions with students. These sessions represent direct access to student support at the school sites and reflect the district's continued focus on prevention, wellness, and early intervention. We also reviewed school climate data. The

071graphic shows progress in suspensions, expulsions, and discipline incidents. Career technical education was another area of progress. The district had 656 pathway completers, which was an increase of 66%. This is significant because CTE pathways give students sequenced hands-on opportunities tied to real post-secary and career options. We also highlighted English learner reclassification increase of 12.5%. This reflects targeted attention to English learner supports, EL instruction, progress monitoring, and the district's efforts to help students demonstrate strong English proficiency. As we have discussed, the graduation data continues to show strength for our district. The district increased from 89% to 95% back from 2021 to 2025, which is above the state and county averages. In February, we provided the board with the LCAP midyear update. As we all know, one of the major themes from the midyear update was the continued

072focus on professional learning communities. PLC's are one of the strongest examples of our datadriven culture and action. Through dedicated collaboration time, teachers are able to review student learning outcomes, analyze evidence, and make instructional decisions that are focused on student needs. We're we also reviewed co-eing supports. Co-eing helps students learn in the least restrictive environment while receiving the support they need to access grade level instruction. This year the work shifted from individual trainings to stronger team supports including planning mentoring classrooms and TOSA support by our very own TOSA Jenny Redmond. The February update also highlighted set for success professional development. Set days continue to provide opportunities for staff to collaborate around best first instruction, data review, common formative assessments, and support students. The district-wide growth diagnostic, NWA, remained an important tool for monitoring students progress in

073grades 9 through 11. Having common testing window and cohort data allows us to look at growth over time and use the results to inform instruction intervention and professional learning. In addition to the midyear LCAP, we also mentioned our SUPA partnership to address significant disproportionality. This work included identifying the target student population, collaborating with educational partners, developing a plan to address concerns, and constructing a multi-tiered framework to support students. We have also seen continued progress in English learner community engagement. By adjusting our DAC meeting days and times, we expanded access for families and increased participation in workshops. Another major area of focus has been increasing our A throughG completion. A throughg readiness is an important because it supports college and career indicator and opens a door for students who want to go directly to a four-year

074college after high school. Before showing the readiness trend, we would like to remind you of our moonshot goal. 80% or more of our students will be college and career ready. This slide sets the context for the trend data that follows and reminds us that the goal is long-term district-wide improvement in post-secary readiness. Our district our district has demonstrated major growth in college and career indicator performance, reaching 60.1% in 2025. This upward trend reflects strengthened co college college readiness, robust CTE pathways, and expanded dual enrollment opportunities, and a shared focus on helping students meet readiness. In May, we brought forward the school plan for student achievement, also known as a SIPA. The SIPA is an important part of the LCAP process because it connects district priorities to site level planning. The next few slides provide a

075brief reminder of how Sips are developed and how they align with the LCAP. Each school site develops its SIPA annually through a cycle of continuous improvement. The plans include a comprehensive data review alignment with the LCAP and the budget plan. The plans are reviewed and approved by school councils and then shared with the board. This ensures that site level actions are connected to district goals and informed by local data and input. As we just reviewed last month, sites begin with a sitebased evaluation of progress and review of their site data. They then gather feedback from school site council, parent surveys, staff meetings, and other input opportunities. Sites review the progress toward the LCAP, state priorities, and board priorities. gather that input or public input from the school site councils on site goals, share the plans

076with the board and bring the plans forward for approval. As part of the year in review, we also highlight the work happening at school sites through the SIPA process. The SIPA highlights remind us that district-wide progress depends on sitebased implementation, data review, and continuous improvement at each campus. This brings us back to the connected process. The state priorities, board priorities, SIPA, and educational partner input all inform one another. The goal is coherence. District goals guide site plans. Site data informs district planning and educational partner feedback helps refine both. We will now transition to the 2627 LCAP annual update portion of the presentation. This section provides a public overview with an annual update including the year-long cycle, budget information, goal updates, local indicators, and federal addendum. At this time, I would like to invite our director

077of educational services, Mr. Steve Casares, to the podium to guide us through the next section of our presentation. Thank you, Dr. Kaufman, and good evening, President Bushie, members of the board, and Dr. Mclofflin. The LCAP communicates the district's plans for student success in the areas of student outcomes, engagement, and conditions of learning. It's been a state requirement since 2013, and the district has engaged in building and evaluating the LCAP in three-year cycles. The LCAP guides how districts use state funds to improve student outcomes through goals, actions, services, and expenditures. It's also a transparency tool because it shows how the district aligns resources to educational priorities. Tonight, June 2nd, is the public presentation of the annual updates. The LCAP will return a week from now on June 9th as an action item for the board uh

078for board consideration. This public hearing provides an opportunity to review the annual update, explain the rationale for adjustments, and maintain transparency before final board action. As we begin tonight's LCAP re overview, I would I want to briefly highlight the year-long cycle of collaboration, data review, and planning that shaped this update. Following board approval of year of the year 2 LCAP in June 2025, the district provided its annual update in the fall and began community engagement. During the winter, engagement continued, and the midyear update was presented to the board. In the spring, we reviewed feedback, evaluated progress towards our goals, made adjustments to this plan, continued engagement, and reviewed the LCFF budget. Tonight's update reflects the process as we prepare for year three of the LCAP. The LCAP is a state required three-year district plan that

079is revisited annually. Year one focuses on planning um planning and baseline data. Year two focuses on implementation and adjustment and year three focuses on evaluation and preparation for the next cycle. As you know, the LCAP is required to include the eight state priorities. These priorities address whole student experience including achievement engagement, school climate, course access, parent involvement, standards implementation, basic services, and other student outcomes. Together, these priorities help ensure that the plan is focused not only on academic outcomes, but also on access, engagement, family partnership, and the conditions that support student learning. Again, local indicator data helps show how effectively we are meeting the state priorities at the local level. These indicators measure implementation conditions and practices that may not fully be captured through state testing data. They directly inform our LCAP goals, actions, and

080continuous improvement by helping us look at academic performance, academic engagement, and conditions and climate. Equally important, the LCAP reflects our board priorities for 2526. Those priorities included student achievement, effective instruction and leadership, effective engagement, a safe and respectful learning and work environment, and fiscal responsibility and optimizing resources. As you've seen before, this is a sample of the LCAP template with goals identified and actions associated with each goal narrative. Also included are the metrics that will be used including the baseline data and yearly update and outcomes of those data targets. A large piece of the LCAP continues to be our partnerships and with stakeholders including parents, students, staff, and community. Some examples include the district advisory council meetings and focus group site meetings that take place as part of this process. Here you can see the

081additional engagement opportunities we offer to gain their input. The general fund for a district is the full operating budget of the district and the LCAP budget is the portion of the general fund spending that is explicitly tied to LCAP goals, priorities, and accountability requirements. For 2526 school year, we budgeted general fund expenditures of over 233 million and of that nearly 188 million is budgeted within the LCAP. Educational Services Division and Business Services work very closely throughout this the school year to ensure we are on track with our spending within the LCAP. The district LCAP has four goals and this slide shows the budget and estimated actuals for each goal as of May 19th, 2026. You can see goal one, college and career readiness was budgeted at nearly 8 million with estimated actuals of closely matching

082that targeted amount. Goal two, equity and access was budgeted just above 4.6 million with estimated actuals at just above 5.7 million. Goal three, school climate and community engagement was budgeted at about 13.4 million with estimated actuals at about 13 million. And finally, goal four, equity multiplier, was fully funded. In the next slides, we'll review each goal area and key updates for the 2627 LCAP. Goal one focuses on students being prepared for college and careers. As and as you can see, the areas of focus are part of this overarching goal. This goal connects directly to our moonshot and to the district's work around A throughG completion, CTE pathways, dual enrollment, CAST performance, counseling supports, and readiness for multiple post-secary pathways. For each goal, we will review notable budget differences or adjustments made during the year. These

083differences are typically based on program need, staffing, enrollment, or how services were implemented during that year. For goal one, the primary differences are connected to action four and action seven. Action four supports staffing and services for English learners, including access to state standards, improved ELD, language proficiency, and stronger performance on ELA and math assessments. Action seven supports the opportunity program at Lassier High School for high need students. In both actions, estimated actuals were slightly above the budgeted amounts, reflecting continued implementation of targeted student supports within the same LCAP goal. Based on feedback, implementation data, and budget analysis, several updates were made to go one for 2627. These include aligning budgets to maintain counseling ratios, sustaining academic college readiness supports, expanding AVID access and college readiness supports, strengthening reading intervention and sitebased supports, and adding TOSA

084roles to strengthen instructional and PLC support. Goal two focuses on equity and access for all students with the included areas of focus for this goal on the slide. This the purpose of this goal is to ensure that all students have access to the learning conditions, instructional programs, technology materials, and qualified staff needed for success. For goal two, the budget difference highlighted is action five and action 8. Action five is for expanded library services to provide support to students. In addition, action 8 focuses on educational technology where all students are given access to a broad course of study. Both of these are examples of how the LCAP supports equitable access to learning conditions across the district. Goal two updates for 2627 include expanded sitebased PLC collaboration and late start time, funding optimization for sustained professional development,

085and sustained technology for access, assessment, and intervention. These updates reflect the continued need to support collaboration, professional learning, instructional technology, and access to standards aligned instru instruction across all sites. Goal three focuses on on the district engaging staff, students, and families as partners to create a climate of safety, support, and success. For goal three, the budget difference highlighted is action four, the comprehensive health and safety program. This action reflects continued investment in safety, wellness, prevention, intervention, and the systems that support positive learning and work environments for students and staff. Goal three updates for 26 and 20 26 27 include continued dedicated staffing to support student outcomes, increased translation and interpretation support for multilingual families, and increased LCFF support for college and career readiness oversight. These updates strengthen both student support and family engagement and help

086remove barriers so families can access information, participate meaningfully, and support student success. Goal four focuses on increasing services to meet the academic and social emotional needs of students contributing to high non-stability rates at Le Vista High School. This goal focuses on graduation rates, academic outcomes, decreased discipline, and support for at promise students. and it is funded through the state equity multiplier grant. ABC plus is a specialized academic instruction program that includes day daily wellness classes and wraparound services designed to address challenges at home or in the students lives that may impact their academic performance. This year 31 students participated and as you can see the outcomes for those students serve within that program. Goal four will continue to focus on the at promise student population through this program and address the needs of the whole

087student. For 2627, the state increased the allocation for goal 4. Key updates include expanded ABC plus monitoring and case management as well as enhanced counseling services. These adjustments are intended to strengthen progress monitoring, increase wraparound support, and improve student outcomes. These budget adjustments reflect the program changes discussed in the annual overview and align resources to the goals for 2026 27. The 2026 27 LCAP budget includes the budgeted amounts for goal one college and career readiness. goal two, equity and access and and for goal three, school climate and community engagement. While goal four, utilizing equity multiplier grant funds remains fully funded. As part of the LCAP development process, school districts are required to assess and report progress on local indicators that reflect important aspects of school quality beyond state testing data. For this section, there are

088three local indicators seen here. These indicators are self-reflected by the district each year using evidence and stakeholder input and are reported on the California school dashboard. For the basics indicator, the district met the standard. This indicator focuses on foundational supports for learning, including appropriately assigned teachers, adequate instructional materials, and safe, well-maintained facilities. For parent and family engagement, the district the district also met this standard. This indicator reflects the district's effort to meaningful meaningfully involve families in decision-making and in support of student learning. Examples include advisory committees, school site councils, LCAP engagement opportunities, DAC and ELAC surveys, parent workshops, and multilingual outreach. The purpose is to ensure that family feedback helps shape programs, supports, and resource decisions. And finally, for the local climate survey indicator, the district has also met this standard. This indicator focuses on

089how students, staff, and families experience the school environment, including safety, connection, wellness, and school culture. Survey data is used to guide state guide site climate goals and action plans, and to inform supports such as wellness services, restorative practices, prevention efforts, and other strategies that strengthen school connectedness. The federal addendum supplements the LCAP by explaining how federal funds support LCAP goals, aligning title one through title 4 programs with district priorities and demonstrating compliance with federal requirements. This section helps show how our categorical funds connect to the broader LCAP rather than functioning as a separate planning system. This slide summarizes how federal programs support district priorities. Title one provides targeted academic counseling and English learner supports aligned to sight-based student needs. Title two supports professional learning, teacher development, and instructional alignment to improve student outcomes. Title three

090strengthens English learner instruction, staff capacity, and family engagement to support EL achievement. Title four supports student access, wellness, engagement, and school climate in alignment with LCAP goals. As we close the LCAP annual update section, we return again to the connected process. The LCAP SIPA state priorities board priorities and educational partner feedback all inform one another. The purpose of the annual update is to make sure our resources, our site plans, student supports, and district priorities remain aligned. Again, tonight is the June 2nd public presentation of the annual updates. The LCAP will again return to the board on June 9th as an action item for consideration. This timing gives the board and community the opportunity to review the annual update before final action is taken. And now I'd like to invite Dr. Kaufman back up to the

091podium. We'll now look ahead to the educational services annual review process for 2627. This process keeps the board informed throughout the year and ensures that data presentations, program updates, LCAP monitoring, and annual updates remain connected. Thank you, Mr. Casares. Before we look at the road ahead, we want to first review the flow of ED services and how we gather our data throughout the year. The data flow for the 2627 begins with the fall data presentation followed followed by the winter LCAP midyear update, spring program updates, and the summer LCAP uh annual update as well. The sequence gives us regular opportunities to review outcomes, monitor implementation, gather feedback, and make adjustments as needed. Looking ahead, the next step is June 9th when the LCAP annual update comes forward as an action item for the board consideration.

092In the fall of 26, we will provide an annual board update for the 2526 school year and begin the community engagement process. In the winter of 2627, engagement will continue and the midyear update will come forward. In the spring of 27, we will review feedback, evaluate goal progress, make adjustments to the LCAP, continue community engagement, and review the LCFF budget. In the summer of 27, the annual update will return to the board. In closing, this annual process reflects the district's ongoing commitment to datadriven planning, educational partner engagement, and continuous improvement for all students. That concludes the LCAP annual update public hearing presentation. Thank you for the opportunity to share the progress updates and next steps connect connected to ED services in the LCAP. And at this time, it is recommended that the board of trustees

093conduct a public hearing to solicit recommendations and comments regarding the 2627 LCAP. No action is required at this time. And at June 9th, 2026 board at this board meeting, the board will be asked to approve and adopt the LCAP. Thank you for the opportunity. >> Thank you, uh, Dr. Kaufman and Mr. Casarus. Uh, any board member questions or comments? Vicki? >> Yeah, I have a couple questions. Um, Dr. Kaufman, I just want to say thank you for giving us all that data. It's really important, especially um, when people are asking me, what's your graduation rate? what are you doing with uh uh career readiness classes and how much we've invested in that and you seem to stay on top of that and give us information that we really need so we can tell the community

094and also I just want to just say thank you because you just really keep us informed on all the things we need and also dual enrollment. I know we're really going up and up and up and up on that one and I thank you for that. um continue to support that program. Um RO O uh and also just our just our overall bachelor and going into our high school uh A throughG making sure that we have our books that are uh assigned to each actual part of our curriculum. So I just want to say thank you to both of you. Thanks. I looked at the LCAP and one thing that really stood out to me is not only did you highlight the successes of which there were many. You also acknowledged that while some areas

095did have growth, it was still falling short of what we would all like to see whether this is students with disabilities or or English learners. And I was especially taken by our long-term English learners and how that is an area of focus. And I really appreciate that because often, especially if they um are redesated, but they're still not completely fluent and completely literate, uh it's easy for them to fall through the cracks. And so I really liked how there was an acknowledgement of work still to be done uh right up there along with the successes. So, thank you for showing our community that we're not sweeping things under the rug, that we're funding it, that we're providing the supports, and that we are putting the financial means behind that as well with our coordination with

096our business services. So, thank you. Appreciate it. You Lauren, do you have any comment? >> Well, I'd like to thank Dr. Kaufman and Mr. Casares for their excellent report. Everything was very clear and well presented. Um like Joanne, I really appreciated the highlights and also the work to be done. One of the things that jumped out at me was um because you know me in my special ed ear um I heard that we have work to do with disproportionality and as a secondary district I know that it can be incredibly difficult to deal with that issue when our theater districts may be sending us their students already in disproportionality. So maybe at some point in the future we could learn more about that. um about that work um and just kind of where we are

097in all of that, but as a whole, I really appreciate the presentation tonight. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you, Lauren. Uh again, thank you to both of you. You know, I was remembering back when the local control funding formula first began. Um, and I remember it being fairly simple in terms it was giving us an opportunity to use the money locally as we chose and it was also intended to support in an an extra way the students that needed extra support. I mean that sounded like a very clear and the reporting was very limited and now it has grown into this huge document that I know takes you hours and hours and of your time and your staff's time. Uh and I really appreciate the comprehensiveness and the fact that district goals, the priorities, the

098single school plans, the the LCAP are all melded into one fantastic document that shows what we're doing. So, um, again, it's a long report. It seems like a simple report. I know there's a lot that goes into it. So, thank you very much for continuing to make sure that our kids are well taken care of. Thank you so much. >> Okay. You didn't want to say anything, sir. Okay. At this time, I will open a public hearing, which is part of the process. And I do have one person who would like to speak at the hearing, and that is Allan, community member. I believe Allan community member may have left. >> Okay. Okay. All right. We do not have anybody else wish to speak at the public hearing. Okay. Seeing no one, I will close

099the public hearing and we will move on to the next item on the agenda which is under human resources and that um Mark Miller, you're going to take that. Good evening, President Bushi, members of the board, and superintendent Mclofflin. I'm pres I am presenting for action a revised pupil attendance calendar for the 2027 2028 school year. This calendar was previously adopted at the November 4th board meeting with a Monday, August 16th start date. The updated calendar reflects a change with the new start date of Monday, August 9th, which is consistent with previous year's calendars. This revised calendar has been shared with the four feeder school districts, employee organizations, all staff and management. Following action taken by the board of trustees, the revised 2027 2028 pupil attendance calendar will be posted on the district website. Thank

100you. >> Thank you. Um Mr. Miller, were there any other changes other than the starting date? >> It just moved it back a week which did affect some of the holidays in terms of um alignment within >> Okay. So the date changed. >> Yeah. >> Effectively, >> but but for the most part, it's state exactly. So, >> okay. Thank you very much. Any other questions or comments? >> Just a quick comment. I know calendars are always challenging because there's a large amount of communication that needs to go out with our elementary districts and the parents of our own district and families. And I appreciate the efforts that it takes to communicate all that. And I'm also see glad to see us readjusting back to our more traditional start date. I think that'll be less confusing

101for people and uh the consistency is very important. Thank you. >> Lauren, did you have any comments? >> No, not right now. Thank you. >> Okay, seeing none, then I'll look for a motion to approve. >> I move. >> Moved by Joanne, seconded by Vicki. Um, any other comment? Roll call, please. >> Mrs. Cladsker, >> I. >> Dr. Calhoun >> I >> Mrs. Fley >> I >> Mrs. Buchcci >> I >> thank you. >> Next is agend agenda item number four business services. Uh and I will send that to you Steve. >> Thank you President Bushi members of the board. Uh very excited. Uh we just saw our LCAP and it's it basically captures what we do especially in in the service of our students. It's not our entire budget though. Um we have a

102special presenter tonight. Uh as we know Mr. Uh Hernandez is always the star of the show on this night, but he too gets to attend his daughter's graduation. Um so as we say in FJUSD, we have next up leaders and so we have uh Mrs. Christy Navaro here uh our director of fiscal services. Um and so uh we were working on this presentation. She is ready to go. And I've done a lot of board presentations personally in in my professional career. I've never had my family show up to watch. So, I do want to acknowledge uh Mrs. Navaro's family in the audience. Thank you for coming and staying with us. Um she is ready and ready to go. So, between the two of us, she'll she'll do the presentation and we're happy to entertain any

103of the questions uh from the board or should that come available during the public hearing. So, with that, Mrs. Nar, >> were they supposed to make her less nervous or more nervous? >> We'll find out. >> All right, Mrs. Navaro. Good evening, President Bushie, members of the board, and Dr. Mclofflin. Um, it is a pleasure to be here tonight in place of Mr. Hernandez, who, as Dr. Mclofflin mentioned, is at his daughter's graduation. And so, what you'll be seeing tonight is a presentation, and it's a presentation that's very similar to past presentations that you're used to seeing. So, we'll be discussing this year's 2627 adopted budget. And just as a reminder to the board and our communities, these are our standard expected outcomes. Tonight, we'll get a better understanding of where we are in the

104budget cycle, as we do at every budget report. We'll discuss the purpose of tonight's adopted budget and where we'll currently talk about what the district's financial status looks like. We will then look into our beginning and ending fund balances as well as any federal and state one-time dollars. We'll then discuss any future budget considerations and next steps. So, as a reminder to the board, um, uh, when when building our budget, we like to take a conservative approach that we ensure that our labor agreements with our partners are embedded within our budget and that we effectively manage our one-time dollars, ensuring that we spend those dollars down first and according to their timelines. And, u,, of course, always a priority to make sure that we have a healthy ending fund balance and reserves. This really allows

105us to build a flexible budget that's predictable given the state's unpredictability. And so here's our budget reporting cycle. As you've seen in the past, we currently are here giving information in regards to the adopted budget, which will then be taken to the uh uh board uh on June 9th for approval. We will then uh begin our year-end closing for the 2526 school year as well as complete our unodudited actuals. The purpose of tonight's meeting is because of uh uh Assembly Bill 1200 which is a requirement by the state. So they it requires us to uh build a projected budget and expenditures from July 1st, 2026 through June 30th, 2027. Our budget currently contains both FSTTO and CSEA agreements. And so they also contain all all of our district funds. And uh within that as well,

106we have our multi-year projections for the 2728 and 2829 school year. And this is what's presented to the board. Uh once presented to the board and appending board approval on June 9th, it will then be submitted to Orange County Department of Ed for review, which will then be submitted to California Department of Ed. And so as a reminder to our community, both the Senate and Assembly create their own budget. They then come together and submit a joint budget which get which needs to be submitted no later than June 15th. Um the governor then takes looks at that joint budget uh as they finalize their budget which is due no later to the state uh by June 30th. So this is our our district uh budget process. We currently have information through our May revis. And

107so with that information, we're looking at our district data to ensure that we align according to those budget assumptions. When calculating average daily attendance, we have three options. And so what we do is we calculate all three options and we take the highest and we go with that calculation. Our projected cola is based on the governor's May revise, which we then uh uh verify with school services of California. Our enrollment projections for the upcoming school year are based off of our P2 data which is as of May 1st, 2026. So we take a we take a look at our data and our historical trend analysis. We currently are projecting at a minus 225 and then 200 for our uh two out years. Our unduplicated percentage is currently at uh using our three-year rolling average and

108we constantly continue to monitor our health and welfare cost escalation. We we are showing a 8.4% 4% increase for the upcoming school year. We look at our stirs and pers rates as well and adjust accordingly uh depending on what those rates uh come in at. And of course, we calculate our salaries based on off of our projected uh statutory cola and we ensure that we apply those to all of the employee groups of the district. And once again, as a reminder to the board, our reserve 10% state mandate is back this year as you've seen in years in the past. So the the state is currently uh checking all the boxes that triggers this resolution. And so this resolution will be available at the June 9th board meeting for the board's consideration in action. These

109are our budget assumptions for the 2627 school year. You will see these laid out in the next couple of slides. This is how they will look. And I'd like to point out here the uh the amount or the numbers highlighted in yellow will be our numbers that we came in for the 2526 school year. The numbers below that will be our projections for the upcoming uh three following years. When it comes to projected enrollment as we continue to become a declining enrollment district, our numbers at uh Seabeds, which is as of October 1st, 2025, came in at 12,392. So, we took a conservative approach as we as we jumped into the 2627 school year using our P2 data, which is as of May 1st, 2026. We then took a three-year trend analysis and uh uh

110projected those enrollment numbers for the two out years, which is currently at about minus 200. Our projected average daily attendance came in at 94.23% for the 2526 school year. So we took a conservative approach of 95% for the upcoming school year and the 95 and a quarter for the two out years as we continue to see trends that are not going back to those prepandemic numbers of about 96%. Our projected unduplicated count at CBIT was uh 61.46% for the 2526 school year and so we're confident in using 61 and a half for our three out years um as our new norm. But we'll continue to to analyze data and adjust accordingly if needed. Our statutory cola for the 2526 school year was funded at 2.30%. And our upcoming cola for the three out years is

111coming in at a projected 4.31, 3.30, and 3.09. However, I would like to point out to the board that this upcoming school year, our 2627, our 4.31 projected statutory cola is a combination of two numbers. It's our 2.87 statutory cola along with a 1.4 LCFF augmentation. Uh some might be calling it almost a super cola per se. Uh so moving on to our stirs pension rates, as you can see here, our rates have uh remained flat and continue to do so. So, uh, once again, we'll adjust accordingly as those rates come in. And our PERS pension rates came in for the 2526 school year at 26.81%. And as you can see, they uh they averaged out in between the two out years, eventually reducing down to 25.90 for the 2829 school year. And so given

112all that information, our total LCFF projected revenue is coming in at $188.9 million with our total projected revenue of $256 million. As you can see here, our total LCFF revenue makes up about 74% of our budget. So, as you've heard in the past, as the state goes, so does our budget. What you're looking at here is uh the LCFF calculator and it's a side-by-side comparison from our estimated actuals for the 2526 school year as well as our projected adopted budget. So if you can see here at the very bottom, our total LCFF goes from 182.2 to 188.9. And so that's about a $6 million increase. And this increase is really coming from that super cola as mentioned in a previous slide. Here we have our general fund combined revenues broken down by percentages. And once

113again, if you notice here, our LCFF funding formula comes in at 188.9 million, which makes up 74% of our budget. I would like to point out uh the section uh labeled other state revenue. That number is at $34.7 million for the upcoming school year. Would like to point out though that $10.2 million of that is coming from state onetime dollars. And once again as well uh for our local revenue our our current projected number is 24.8. However, there has been additional special education funding through the AB 602 uh model. So that is coming in at an additional $6 million for special education funding. Here's another side by here's another um I'm sorry here's another breakdown percentage of our general fund combined expenses. And so, as you can see here, if we were to total up

114all of our salaries, both certificated and classified, as well as our employee benefits, you would see that that makes up most of our budget. Our total expenditures for the year are coming in at 251.9 um for the adopted budget. Here's another sideby-side um uh comparison for our combined revenue. And so, as you can see here, our estimated actuals and our adopted budget. I would like to point uh here that our total revenue is growing from 240.9 to 256 million for the adopted budget. This is about a $16 million uh difference. Once again, this ties back to the $6 million of the superola as well as the 10.2 and onetime state dollars. Moving on to our combined expenditures, here's another sideby-side comparison of our estimated actuals and our projected adopted budget. And so as you can

115see here, our um total expenditures have remained pretty flat from one year to the next. Both coming in at 251.1 for estimated actuals and 251.9 for adopted budget. However, if you were to look in between each category, you can see the increases and decreases uh and the nuances between them. I'd like to point out here uh under the 6,000 which is our capital projects for estimated actuals we're projecting to end the year with about $3 million in expenses. However, our adopted budget is uh only coming in at 952,000 and that difference is really due to using district funds to help complement some of our bond projects that we don't see uh coming up in the in the upcoming school year. We take all of that information and what we do with it is we build

116our multi-year projection. What you're seeing here is our multi-year projection from our unrestricted side. And so our revenues, as you can see, grow from uh 181 to 183 up to 185.3 in the 2829 school year. I would like to uh take your attention down to the surplus and deficit line. So for the upcoming 2627 school year, we currently have $939 of a deficit. However, you know, as a reminder to the board, that is a planned structural deficit based off of us spending down some of those onetime dollars. So looking at the 2728 and 2829 school years, that turns into a surplus because we're receiving some of those new one state onetime state dollars. Our uh total ending fund balance in year three jumps up to about 73.7. And so therefore giving us a overall uh

117percentage ending fund balance of up to 30% in year three. Here we have our multi-year projection if we were to combine both our restricted and unrestricted. And so our revenues, as you can see here, go from 256 million in the upcoming 2627 school year all the way down to uh 249.8 in the 2829 school year. However, I do want to point out to the board that for the 2627 school year, we are receiving those one-time dollars that we would we would not normally be receiving or do not exist in the two out years. And so the 246.9 and the 249.8 revenue numbers that you're seeing is is more similar to what we're used to seeing as far as receiving revenue. Once again, I'd like to point out uh our surplus and I'd like to highlight

118that section. So our 26 27 school year, we go from 4.1 million in surplus, then down to 1.2 and back up to 3.9. And this is creating a very healthy ending fund balance for us. Um we're looking at ending the 2829 school year with about 87.5 million and up to uh 35.62% in year three. Now we're going to discuss the ending fund balance um combined. So, it's restricted and unrestricted. And I'd like uh for the um for the community and the board to look at the restricted uh dollar amount highlighted in green. It's $21 million for the 2627 school year. And so that's the restricted balance. But as you can see, it it goes down all the way to about 13.8 in the 2829 school year. And that's due to us spending down those new

119onetime dollars. Our committed funds are, as I mentioned, are part of that 10% state mandate. And so that is going to be at our June 9th board meeting where these numbers will be reflected on there um as a resolution for the board's consideration and action. So once again, this is really creating a healthy um ending fund balance with our percentages ending up to 36 35.62% in year three. We are able to do this all with the thanks and um with uh being able to uh have our agreements with our labor partners. So currently we have both uh the 26 27 and 28 2728 labor agreements embedded in our budget. However, we don't have anything scheduled for 2829 as those have not happened yet. Now I'd like to uh point to you as far as our

120restricted funds just kind of giving a breakdown balance of that $21 million number that you saw in the previous slide. So just really breaking down um high high ticket level items starting with our discretionary block grant. That's our student support and development block grant. And so there's currently a balance of $8.4 million with a estimated expiration date of June 30th, 2029. This does not require any board um uh action or approval. Our learning recovery and emergency block grant currently has about $838,000 as a balance. It has an expiration date of June 30th, 2028, and it is included in our LCAP goal one and two. Our LCFF equity multiplier has a balance of about 1.1 million with no expiration date as these are ongoing dollars and is also included in our LCAP goal 4. And lastly,

121our arts and music in schools which is known as Prop 28. As the board is aware, there was a plan taken to board uh at the September board meeting really highlighting the plan and how they plan to spend it. And so the the balance that you're seeing here is based off of our year two and year three dollars. So year $2 are looking to be expired uh by June 30th, 2027 and a year$3 dollars June 30th, 2028. This does not require a board action plan, but a plan has been presented in um at the September board meeting. And so taking all that information, you know, the state um our district, our budget assumptions and how we build our budget, we wouldn't be able to build the budget in the manner in which we do without

122the support of our labor partners and the guidance from the board. And so that really allows us to build a very healthy uh uh budget that really highlights all the great educational programs that we have here at the district and allows us to really sustain that. And so really gives us that ability to be flexible given the state's uh unpredictability. Our future considerations now, right? So we currently have uh once again our governor's adopted budget. We're waiting for that. That is due to the to by June 30th of this of this upcoming month. And we're always looking at our financial health of the state and ensuring that we are prepared should we need to make any adjustments to our budget. We're constantly looking at world conflicts and how that could potentially affect our um uh

123our our ability to to purchase items and uh one-time funds as well. Always looking to spend those dollars down first and ensure that we get those uh spent down before those those uh ending deadlines. We're always monitoring our health and cost escalation. Our our multi-year projection currently includes a projected cost escalation of 5%. And we're also always looking at California legislation and uh seeing if there's any financial impact to any educational uh proposed bills. Our next steps. So here we are today giving recommendation once again for the uh adopted budget uh which will then be taken to the board at the June 9th board meeting. Once again, if approved, we'll be will be sent to OCD and then eventually to uh CDE. We will then analyze the governor's final adopted budget for the fiscal year

12426-27 and then should we need to make any adjustments, we can do so during the 45 May uh 45day revise uh only if necessary. We will then begin to work on our year-end closing for the 2526 school year as well as continue to work with our auditors in the completion of our unodudited actuals for the 2526 school year. In December, you'll see us back here once again reporting on the first interim budget, which will include um updated projections and actuals for both our revenue and our expenditures. Our fiscal solveny statement in submitting the 2627 adopted budget report as positive. The board of trustees understands its fidiciary responsibility to maintain fiscal solveny for the current and subsequent two fiscal years. And with that, I'd like to thank my incredible team up in business services. We currently

125have our manager of fiscal services here, Richard Mezer. And I just really want to give kudos to the entire team because it is really a team effort and I'm just incredibly honored to be a part of this team. And I know some of them said that they would be listening from home. So if they are, I really appreciate all the work that you guys do. So with that, uh, this concludes my presentation and I'm happy to answer any questions. Yeah, I have >> Thank you very much, Christie. Uh, question. >> Yeah. Um, I know we get onetime dollars and that comes in pretty much on June 30th. And do we know what will I know we'll be getting between eight about 8 to 16 million. When does that money come in and and it just

126goes right into our our general that money comes in soon? >> So, currently the May revise has us scheduled uh to receive about 10.2 2 million. Um right now um the legislator, legislature, the assembly and the senate have just released their independent uh budget forecast over the last few days. They'll come together uh by June 15th. And so uh then they'll arm wrestle with the governor. Uh so assuming that stays, that 10.2 looks like the floor. Uh there may be some more opportunities for some additional onetime dollars that come in which might kick it up some more. Uh so we're watching from that. And then the state uh um releases uh the money the funds in phases to us. >> Absolutely. Yeah. And they decide those um at a later date. So we you typically

127don't get that information right away. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you very much for the excellent presentation. Really appreciate it. And thank you for explaining that that is a plan deficit that it's onetime dollars, not that we can't balance the books. In fact, also thank you for pointing out that we've have a very healthy budget and I appreciate all the team's work in has made that happen because it allows us to provide for our students and our employees. So, thank you very much. >> Lauren, do you have any comment? Um, well, I want to echo my colleagues thanks for this great presentation and really just highlight again for everyone who's listening and who's there how important it is to be in the financial situation that we're in. We have a lot of surrounding districts

128that are not as fiscally solvent as we are. And I am so incredibly proud of the work of our district team and of this board in creating a situation which has us in this amazing position. So I just want to send out a big thank you to everyone. >> Okay. I would just add my thanks again and I think they helped you, don't you? >> I think so. >> Yes. >> Thank you so much. >> If there are no any questions, I just want to say wow, great job. Outstanding. I've seen a lot of these in a lot of places and and Sylvia and I watch these in our spare time in other districts. I know we're weird. Um but I got to say it it's one of the best. Uh I can't say you're

129better than Mr. Hernandez yet. Um but I definitely see a duo coming forward. Uh excellent job. Uh and I appreciate the board's comments tonight because it does take a collective effort with our labor partners, with our management team. Um, and one of the things that that you saw tonight in the LCAP and the budget, including the healthy reserves that we maintain, is that ongoing uh raises, one-time payments, ongoing health and welfare, but we're also growing program, right? So at a time when um we're managing our funds at an optimal level where we can push in additional services, additional custodial support, additional TOS supports, um we're going to be opening a public information or we have information officer to support and amplify the communication that's going on reading intervention, math intervention. And so we are growing

130program while maintaining this. And it it is attributed to the team. And I and and I I heard that loud and clear. And I'm looking around the room and and and we get to work with a cabinet team, but uh Edgar Manalo uh came in the back. he snuck in because he wanted to be in the back row to see you part of the business service team. But we look at these amazing directors and coordinators uh around the room that really really do the grindy work and making sure this comes together um in a presentable way but also uh in a way that that keeps us compliant and we can do some some great work. So um great job, excellent presentation. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. Okay, at this time

131I need to open a public hearing and see if there's anyone who would like to speak to the presentation, the content. And seeing no one rushing to the microphone, I will close the public hearing and we will move on. Next is administrative services communications, Dr. Zener. >> Thank you, President Bushi, members of the board, and Dr. Mclofflin. Our June newsletter will go out tomorrow morning with the theme inspired by students, highlighting our 2026 retirees and our 2026 graduates in addition to important summer resources.
