001All right. Good evening. I'm gonna um reconvene I'm going to reconvene this meeting um at 603. So, welcome to the September 11th regularly scheduled board meeting. Um we did not have any action items during close session. So, item number six, I'm reporting no action. And item number seven is communication reports. And first we have board member reports. Do I have any board member reports? >> Start at the bottom. >> And you have a special item, Mary. You're number B actually 7B. So we're going to start. We're But that's uh I know. And Dr. Cutler keeps threatening to change the order so that um maybe we should put him first. We could change the but um but at this point we're going to stick with the way it's written. So we're going to do the official
002board members and and the of course the student board members also official. But you have a special name. You're a student board member. Um, okay. So, Trusty Mansfield. >> Um, last week I was part of the ethics training that California School Boards Association put back together as were um trustees Anderson and Keer. Um, back to school night. I went to Meyers for the first round. Loved it. They were so happy. The parents were happy. The principal was happy. It was great. Then I went down to Sierra House. Um, and then this morning we attended the state of the college address which was amazing and it would just it was a feelgood community moment. Um, and then tomorrow I'll be at the high school at noon. So, if there's any high school teachers paying attention, um,
003and if there's anything you want to show me, tell me, or not show me, just tell Mr. Zenino and he will take me around. Thank you. >> Thank you, Trusty Kamacho. >> Thanks, President. I um went to back to school night at Sierra House and it was just a lot of fun, a lot of excitement and a lot of participation from uh groups besides just the parents and students and just a really feel-good time. Um went to Meyers today and saw our new principal Hart in action. She's memorizing all those children's names. Pretty impressive with her. So that was that was um nice to see how well things are going over there. and then also was at the LTCC um meeting this morning and yes, it was pretty dynamic. So, thank you. >> Any other
004report, Trusty Anderson? >> I attended the Tahoe Valley back to school night. um just kind of wandered around and stuck my head in some doors and gave them gave them a thumbs up sign and um I was very impressed with the the high school welcome back um program. Uh saw the whole presentation that the counseling department put on to prepare freshmen. This was uh uh Mrs. Rasmusen and Mr. Sullivan um prepare the freshman parents to know what what would be required of them if they want to send their kid to college, the A throughG requirements and a lot of other information that was vital. I am so impressed with the with the counseling department at the high school. They are cracker jack. >> Thank you. Um I too was a I I listened in on
005some of that freshman orientation too for parents. That was really great at the high school uh back to school night as well as um the welcome um just what uh principal Zenino did in the beginning just recognizing the new um other the vice principal and dean at the high school and um yeah it was great to see uh quite a few parents there um you know and sometimes being towed around by their students too. So, I thought that was good at the high school uh back to school night that just a feeling of more of involvement by the family by parents and students and a lot of times both parents. So, that was um good to see. All right. Um now we have Mary Lexinger her student board member report. All right. So, today we
006did the presentation at the SSDA meeting. So, that was really cool. We presented about our system of student voice that we use and it was me, Arya, Laya, Meera, Spencer, Sebastian, Connor, Ylon, and Kira. And it was just amazing to have everyone there and we were able to just like speak about our whole presentation in front of all these adults who they were so excited to have us there and it was just really fun to do it. Um, there's been a lot of school of sports stuff going at the high school right now. It's beginning of the fall season. Everyone's getting all excited for the volleyball, tennis, cross country, football, and soccer games. Everyone's very into keep maintaining good grades at the beginning of the school year because that can be hard when you have
007a very few assignments and trying to balance missing school. Um, club rush was last week and that was really good. there was a lot of new students, especially the freshmen who were just being able to walk around and like talk to a bunch of the new clubs led by a bunch of the upper classmen. And so that was really cool to see everyone involved in that. Um, Chicago had their auditions last week, so the casting is done for that. They are now rehearsing. Um, that play will be I think it's November 7th weekend. Yeah, that's the first show. So, we're excited for that. I'm sure it'll be amazing this year. Um, and for me, the school year has started really well. I think I'm taking really hard classes, but a lot a lot of people
008in my grade are, and we're all just like making it work and just enjoying time doing everything else. So, >> great. Thank you. Nice report. Okay. Um, Dr. Cutler, superintendent report. >> President Ke, members of the board, uh, you know, there's so many great things to talk about at the start of a school year. Um, and the back to school nights were great at all the elementary sites. I I happen to be coming back from a meeting in in Plville. I'm like, you know, I'm going to stop by. I know it doesn't start yet, but I'm going to stop by and see if I can catch the teachers at Myers preparing. And I got there really way too early. So, I walked the entire building with nobody there. And so, all of this the the
009the classrooms ready for the folks to to come in. And then I made my way uh to Tahoe Valley over then Sier House and then ended at Beiju that night. and and the energy was really really high and there was so much excitement in the in the air about what what what the school year was to bring and and and I just saw so much positivity both from our our staff um and our families. Uh so it was really exciting to see. Um unfortunately we had a power outage right before the middle school's back to school night. Um, and so I know that Cindy and staff are trying to work on some way to get information out to families um, in light of not having the ability to pull that off. Um, and then the
010back to school night. I appreciate the um, the welcome back at the high school. Appreciate the the talk about that. I was able to get around every single classroom and say hello really briefly to all the staff and and again this the the same type of energy excitement for a school year and so nice to see and and I want to thank all of our staff for all the preparation that goes into into those events. There's a lot into it. There's a lot of time a lot of commitment and of course you know greeting parents and welcoming them is is so important. Um, I would also just talk about, you know, Mary just talked about the superintendent student advisory council and I had my first meeting with superintendent student advisory council uh during the first
011week of school and was able to meet with, you know, the new members as well as the returning members and talk about the year and talk about all the expectations of the year. Um, and one of those was, hey, we're also going to present at SSDA's conference that they're holding up here on September 11th. Unfortunately, at the same time as as uh President DeFranco giving the state of the college, which I've never missed one of those, and I they are he's dynamic and and it's really great to hear all that that they're doing at the college. Um but I will tell you, I was pretty darn excited to be with our our our student advisory kids in front of all these adults that are from all these small school districts all in the region. Um,
012and they did an amazing job of sharing student voice and how our supernate student advisory council provides them a platform and an opportunity for it. How our student board members have that opportunity. Um, and and how they work together to share their concerns, their ideas, and their thoughts about how our district is is meeting their needs. And and I asked to put up a picture of us this this morning. Let me turn it so others can see it. I was really pretty proud. Uh, as you can see, a big smile on my face with our logo over here and the students looking so so so wonderful and they they they did just such an incredible job. Um, and the president of SSDA is Dr. Nicole Newman's on the left there and she joined us in
013in there. Also, after they did an amazing job and we got them off to um to school, uh, Kelly Buttery and I had the opportunity to do a breakout session following that. Um, and we we actually talked about how we use our staffing ratios um, across all of our all all areas of of our uh, organization to make sure we're staffed appropriate and have the right staffing um, in play, whether that's classified staffing, certificate staffing, management staffing, and and it was really well received by the attendees and and really they're wanting to actually ga gather the information from us so that they can use similar u similar systems and and so we were really proud to be able to do that. Uh there's so much more to report, but I I I would tell you
014that I'm really just excited about all of the start of the year um and the great work. I I do I would I would be negligent to say this. I'm really thankful for um both the STEA and CSEA and coming together at the table with our district bargaining team as well and working through very difficult discussions and decisions on how and what we can do and how we can do it. Um and and so big shout out to those those teams that spent the time, made the commitment to work together collaboratively to come to resolution. There's still some things we have to uh work on, but I believe we really have settled in on um on insurance and and salaries and things of that nature for this school year and uh and next and and
015look forward to now finishing up on the other items that we haven't had a chance to finish up. So, thank you to our team. Um our team's led by Dr. Reader and Miss Buttery and of course the SDA and CSEA teams. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. Next item is our employee association reports and I see okay Bernardet Santana welcome. Good evening President Keer board members Dr. Cutler and others. Uh, I also would like to say a big thank you to the district and to the district's negotiating team. Uh, we worked hard, but it was productive. We will be bringing things to our membership. That takes a little bit of time, but I believe it will be positive, and I think that contributes continues to contribute to a very positive start of school. Thank
016you. >> All right. And Miss Mora. >> Welcome. >> Good evening, President Kempter, trustees, Superintendent Cutler, and the members of the executive cabinet. Uh, tonight I'm here on behalf of South Tahoe Educators Association. And we'd like to express our sincere gratitude for your collaboration during recent negotiation sessions. Your willingness to listen and work with us allowed for an increase to our health care cap that will help our members in sharing the burden of the rising health care costs. This outcome demonstrates what we are able to do when we work together as a team that we can find solutions that supposed support support both our educators and the district as a whole. We look forward to continuing our collaborative effort in the next coming weeks as we continue our negotiations and pre present our teachers with
017a complete contract for the 2526 school year. Before I close today, I would like to take a moment to honor the memories of the victims of recent school shootings that have shaken the communities across our nation. These tragedies remind us all of the importance of protecting our students and our staff. We respectfully urge LTUSD to review its safety protocols and ensure that everyone is doing everything possible to keep our schools safe, secure, and the supportive learning environments that we need. >> I thank you for your time and partnership and your commitment to supporting the educators of LTUSD. >> Thank you, >> Nicole. Thank you for that last piece especially. Appreciate that. Thank you. you know, I yeah, you know, and and and honestly, I rushed off my my statement, but you know, today is September
01811th, and uh you know, I think we all pause and think for those that are, you know, are you know, we're impacted by that day 24 years ago. And then to think about all of the difficult things that we continue to go through in our country. So, I appreciate you bringing that up and the challenges that we face and and how we have to work together for not just negotiations and and those things, but also for the safety of our of our schools and and our community. So, thank you for that. >> All right. Um, moving on to public comment. And do we have any public comments uh that are not these are for items not on the agenda tonight? >> So, we didn't receive any um through electronic and I didn't receive any cards.
019Is anybody here for public comment this evening? >> Okay, >> no public comment. >> All right, seeing none, then we'll move on to item number eight, which is our partner organization update. And uh item 8A is about Assembly Bill 1572. Uh upcoming water restriction laws presented by South Tahoe Public Utility District. And Lauren is here, right? Welcome. Okay. Is there anything special I need to do with this clicker? Okay, good. Good luck. I love that. Perfect. >> Oh, good. Okay, great. >> Yeah, thank you all. So, good evening, members of the board. Lauren Benfield, water conservation specialist at South Tahoe Public Utility District. Today, I'm here to talk to you all about Assembly Bill 1572, the nonfunctional turf ban for commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. Can I get it? Yeah. Nice. Okay. So, I just
020wanted to give you guys a brief overview of what you can expect from my presentation. So, you're probably asking yourself, what is non-functional turf? So, I figured I'll start off with that. Um, so non-functional turf is grass that is not used for recreational activity regularly. So, for community events, students to play on, students to line up on after school. It's purely just for aesthetics. So functional turf is turf that is used for recreational uh functional turf, right? There we go. Um is used for recreational activities. So uh parks, playfields, sports fields, playgrounds, um all of those things. So they are two different things. So what is AB572? So, in October 2023, the state of California passed Assembly Bill 1572 prohibiting the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf. You can see on the screen
021a list of all of the property types that are banned from irrigating non-functional turf with potable water. As a note, all of the water that South Tahoe Public Utility District supplies is potable water as no recycled water is allowed to stay in the Tahoe basin due to loss. So, the regulation requires water utilities across the state of California to pass water conservation ordinance amendments by January 1st, 2027, aligning with the state's regulation. The regulation also calls on utilities to enforce compliance, which is why I'm here talking to you all. So, when does it take effect? So a part of the ban includes it includes a phase in uh for different types of accounts. So the first group to comply are state, local, federal, public agencies and that deadline is January 1st, 2027. This includes Lake
022Tahoe Unified School District. So that means they must stop irrigating nonfunctional turf by January 1st, 2027. Next comes commercial accounts and industrial properties and that compliance is by January 1st, 2028 and then all common HOA um associations and developments by January 1st, 2029. So what are some next steps for compliance? The good news is that LTUSD staff um has already met with our water conservation program um to evaluate turf areas at all school facilities and identify the minimal non-functional turf that you guys all have. Um, it's then up to LTUSD staff to create a conversion plan for those areas to comply with the law and also comply with local coverage requirements um, set forth by other governing bodies in the Tahoe basin. At the least, L2SC would have to stop irrigating the identified non-functional turf
023areas by January 1st, 2027. So, with all this being said, South Tahoe PUD is here to help, right? We want to help our customers comply. We offer our turf buyback program of $1.50 per square foot, up to $5,000, to remove grass and replace it with a Tahoe friendly native landscape or adaptive garden. Each school site would qualify this individually. Um, so you know, if one if Sierra House needed to remove, they could get up to $5,000. Uh, Meyers here at the schoolboard office. So each site is eligible for that 5,000. Um, as facility staff is working to replace the grass, we can also come out and offer plant selection ideas, capping and converting irrigation system advice, um, and other design recommendations through our water wise landscape consultations. wanted to make it short and sweet. So,
024uh, I'll give you guys some time if you have any questions for me. >> Any questions for uh, Lauren? >> I have one. Okay. This does not affect homeowners, just HOA associations like Tahoe Keys. Correct. >> Correct. And then my other question is um at the front of some of the schools when kids are waiting for their parent to pick them up, they're lounging on the on the turf. Is that >> we would consider that functional turf. So that's good to go. Um there are some locations that we did identify where you know facility staff know students are not lounging there and things like that and so we have identified those as non-functional turf but it's few and far between for most of your sites. So um we absolutely uh you know we talked here
025at the middle school as well there's spots that teachers come and take their students out to do class lessons and things like that >> that is absolutely functional turf. >> Excellent. Thank you. >> Yes, Trusty Kamacho. >> Thank you. Thank you for your presentation. >> So when you we remove the turf, is TRPA going to look at BMPPS and now we have to have some addition additional ground coverage to substitute the grass? Is that correct? >> That's a great question. The answer to that is yes. If you um take part of our turf buyback program though, the TRPA's requirements are built into our turf buyback program, such as you h you can't leave it bare ground. It has to have some sort of coverage, so wood chips. Um we talked when we went through the
026walkth through of you know, some of these spots are right next to the road and so what can you use there instead of wood chips so you're not blowing into windows and things like that. And so, um, we can offer recommendations for that as well, but a part of our turf buyback does include TR. >> And you talked about like landscaping. So, we'll be allowed to do drip irrigation at that point. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Absolutely. >> Um, and you can still use um potable water for a different landscape. It just can't be grass >> is what the law specific. >> Heavy heavy water. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> The native landscape. >> I guess I have a question to follow up on the turf the buyback program. you're making recommendations of native um
027plants and whatnot to put in. Um it's up to us to provide whatever it is we're putting in. Is that what do I understand that correctly? Okay. >> Yeah. Um for example, the city of South Lake Tahoe, you might have noticed, has started removing quite a bit of grass along Ski Run or along Highway 50. Um they've started the process. they have the most nonfunctional turf and so they've started a process a little bit earlier and so um to cut down on some of the costs associated with plants they have built a greenhouse and are starting to propagate and grow their own plants um because plants are expensive. So >> you have some lovely green houses at some elementary schools. So that's a that's a possibility as well because we're under new student and maybe
028we could maybe we could buy some of the city's propagated plants if they've got extra point but they're under the same timeline basically because they're part of that institution. >> Well, by the way, just I saw Karen Homes you know has we have green houses over there and nodding and then you know Dave's right next to her. So you guys got a plan together. I just think we have a we have something you guys are working on right now. Well, yeah. And I was gonna say I or my question was um so I'm glad that our staff has already been out at sites with you and and was there a general I'm I'm looking at Dave as well as you Lauren like was there a general sense of agreement about uh and you're and you're
029the entity that just determines the non-functional um based on conversations. But are we are we kind of in agreement on that right now or is there some conflict of certain spots? >> Yeah. >> Hey Dave, if you're gonna Dave, >> come up to the microphone please. Thank you, Dave. >> It went a lot better than I expected. There's a lot of area that is considered functional that we identified >> because kids do sit on it or whatever, right? Yeah, >> there's some areas like around the front of this, you know, district office building and stuff that we're going to have to figure something out with. But >> we're looking pretty good. >> And I'm glad you mentioned it because I would say there we are going to lose some grass around the district office that's
030>> Yeah. >> necessarily functional, right? >> It's aesthetic only. Yeah. And I just have to and I was telling uh Trusty Anderson earlier that uh this was my mission because I worked for 30 years at Bohant and Water Quality Control Board. And uh I just want to say that uh you know I like to remind uh the public that you know when people first came to Lake Tahoe they wore long dresses and suits and they sat on the dirt and they had picnics and there was no such thing as turf and uh a lot of functions happened in the forest without turf. So, um, in general, it's it's not necessary in my opinion, and it doesn't really provide an aesthetic, um, that I that I like, but I but it's also I I recognize the
031benefits in terms of our environment and, you know, climate change and, uh, water quality and and the lack of, you know, the idea is not to be a not to have to overuse water as well as fertilizer. So, um, you know, our our habitat here and our native species prefer, uh, less turf, you know, so, and, uh, our lake and everything else. So, um, anyway, I appreciate you helping us with that. I wish there was more money for native plants because I do know they're expensive. So, um, but there are a lot of alternatives and I think we can, um, I'm glad we can, you know, work together on this so that we still have grass for kids to roll around on and, um, you know, and play all the sports and everything, too. And
032I know that's continues to be a challenge. And thank you, Mr. Zebo, for trying to grow grass in this very difficult environment because it's not it isn't natural. So, it's that's a big challenge, you know. So, yeah. So, thank you. >> Thanks, Lauren. Thank you so much for being here tonight. >> Thanks, everyone. >> All right. And Mary, you had no no comments on no questions on that. Okay, now we're moving on to item nine. Um, school plans for student achievement. And we do these for each of our sites. And tonight we have the Sierra House Elementary School to present. Come on up, Principal Holmes. All right. Good evening. Um, good evening, President Keer, board of trustees, and everyone else here. Thanks for being here tonight. Um my name is Karen Holmes. I'm principal at
033Sierra House Elementary School. And tonight I am presenting our school um plan for single achie uh student achievement. Starting off with our demographics and our school site this year. Our enrollment looks a little bit different. We were about 420 last year and we are down to 378 right now. Big drop. And um interesting. I don't we have one uh two first grade classes and two kinder classes this year. Last year we had the two kinder classes and we were thinking it was going to go up and have three first, but we did um take that first grade. We don't need it. We are at 21 and 23 in first grade. So, we're we're good. Um we do have we did lose one um TK class to Tahoe Valley for the K2 so that they have
034all the K2 students in Lake Taho Unified over there. and we have the 35 severe um intensive needs program and the um K5 inclus inclusion moderate program. So that's it's kind of a I think our percentages we're will be very similar this year but um the numbers are a little bit different. And then as of August 2025, um we have 76 students receiving special education services. 211 students that have turned in their fund our future surveys, which we're still we're going to finish up above 90%. Um qualify for free and reduced lunch when I created this presentation. We have more turned in now, but I don't have that number till tomorrow. Approximately 24% of our students are English learners at this time. We did reclassify 18 students at the end of last year, but we
035just did 20 initial ELPAC assessments. So, we're kind of it's an even wash there. Um, let's see. Our goal number one for our SIPA for our SIPA is really focusing on instruction and learning. Our goal is to increase student achievement across the school. As a site, we're focusing on highquality educ um and engaging first instruction. We are working hard to engage all students in grade level curriculum by providing engaging lowf flooror high ceiling lessons and activities. We have differentiated reading groups and are using research-based language development strategies in all subject areas and during designated EL time. We're so excited to be piloting illustrative math as a school as it is a curriculum that engages students in understanding mathematical concepts and deepening their mathematical thinking and reasoning as they work to become efficient and powerful mathematicians.
036Attendance is vital to the success of our work and we are already making phone calls and sending letters home because we've got to do better with attendance because kids need to be in class to be learning. Um we celebrate positive attendance daily on our main hallway bulletin board and we have lots of um 10 days of perfect attendance in a class and they get prizes or awards for their class. So we're trying to do the positive and making sure people know understand the importance of attendance. Um, SIPS goal number two focuses on social emotional well-being. As recipients of the California Community Schools Grant, this has been a huge focus for us. Mandy Miller, Kim Yuon, and Casey Donahghue have created some amazing systems for our school to ensure that all students are getting social and
037emotional supports that they need to be successful at school and in life. We have created a zen this year to support emotional student regulation. And we have an amazing welcome back celebration supported by numerous city and county agencies and we're looking forward to reinstating our cafesitos meeting at our site this year which is super exciting. Um goal number three is all about the adults on site continually improving and growing as professionals. We have a solid collaboration and PD schedule based on staff needs requirements and single focus. Excited to welcome Dr. Megan Frankie and Jen Schneck Snider to Sierra House on September 22nd and 23rd for an incredible staff development opportunity. Our team is not afraid to roll up their sleeves, ask hard questions about what we can do to improve instruction and learning for our
038students. I am so proud of our growth mindset and our willingness to challenge the status quo. Our single focus plan continues to focus on math and being clear in our learning objectives. A deep understanding of the math standards and framework. Time for purpose purposeful reflection, data analysis and planning as well as using our new illustrative math curriculum are all important parts of this plan. We're looking forward to learning labs in December and April and we'd love to have you come visit us as we as we um schedule those. super great um way to learn as a team and grow together. This is just a quick snapshot because I want you to see what when we're talking about looking at data. This is an amazing program that we're using. Learning from children was developed by Dr.
039Megan Frankie and this there's so much right here you can't I can't even go over it all. The black bars show student accuracy with answering the questions. And the first bar is initial. Second bar is end of the first trimester, end of the second trimester, end of the third trimester. And to the right of that is the strategies that the students are using to um to answer the questions. And the um is the same question type is given throughout the year. And the color bars um are showing the strategies. I need to stay on my script. This graph demonstrates that as the year progresses, students improve their accuracy and in and in their use of strategies become more efficient and sophisticated as their understanding of different concepts increase. If you ever want to go through
040these and look at these um it's fascinating and what we learn about how our kids are thinking about math is incredible and the teachers can really dig into how they are using these this how they are instructing math based on how the students are interacting with it. And on September 24th, we're going to be looking at our first learning from children data and the I Ready data. >> It's interesting on that on that slide principal. It's just that everybody's going up, you know, as the year progresses except for those on the right which are for division. It's like they forgot how to do division. >> This is third grade. >> So this is something that is like it's that's an impressive array for third grade in division because they're they're really it's really looking at
041equal groups. Not even really thinking about it as division, but thinking about equal groups and how does multiplication and the equal groupings interact and relate to each other. And you'll see those strategies are all over the board on that. But at the start of the year, the red is there's no attempt. The pink is totally invalid. And by the end of the year, you can see there's nobody that isn't trying it and very few invalid strategies. And then there's a wide variety of different ways to do it because we're not they're not the standard algorithm isn't really even involved yet. We're just teaching them about Eagle Groups and how to and seeing how they think about it. Um, oh, and then so it's just fascinating and it's so exciting. Um, welcome to our team members.
042This is taken the first day of school and I just have to look at this picture and smile because everybody just was happy. It was a great start of the year. Um, we have a wonderful new group of team members. Sarah Cotti in RSP. Emily Griffin is an RSPIA and oh my gosh, she's going to be an amazing teacher. Caitlyn Green, fourth grade, came over from Meyers and we are so loving having her. Emily McDonald, new from Sacramento, um, fourth grade. Ellie Medina is in our front office, um, bilingual support there, and it's just been amazing. I didn't put up here because I just feel like they were already part of our staff. Brooke King is doing, um, she was subbing longterm last year and she is now in the K5 special day class. And
043Jen Peek is second grade and she is um, fabulous. So, we're just we're just loving your house right now. So, thank you. Do you have any questions? >> Thank you, Principal Holmes. Anybody? Uh, there you go, Trusty Anderson. Go for it. >> I hear rumors that you're not going to be with us forever, and I'm so sorry about that. >> We're We're working on that still. We're not giving up on that. >> No, I'm planning planning. This is my last year for It's been awesome. >> It will be majorly missed. major for sure. >> I was when I went through the presentation at home, you know, I looked at the goal number three. It's like, God, who's that old teacher that's being taught by these new teachers >> and Val came to one of our
044collaborations and you are all welcome anytime. And they're just the it's just so fun and so exciting to dig in the way and my staff is amazing at where those conversations go. So, you are welcome anytime to come join us. I appreciate um I appreciate your leadership and and the focus that I see whenever I'm there for those collab times. I mean that this teachers are really um paying attention and focused and you know working together and learning from each other. So it's really great. >> Thank you. >> Okay. >> Thanks so much. >> And we'll look forward to you doing this next year. That's great. Thank you very much. >> Okay. Great. See you next year. See you all year next year. Okay. All right. Next we have business services and operations um agenda
045item 10. The first one is measure U update on the and program update. >> So tonight we have um some of our project managers from coming group here. George George Roas is going to present. We also have Jamie Brown here too. Um he you might not have met him yet. Um but George is gonna come on up. You want to talk about measure walked in at the right time. George >> see him. >> Good. Welcome. >> All right. >> Prepared and awesome. Good evening, President Keer, uh, trustees, Dr. Cutler, and of course, rest the cabinet. Uh, thank you so much for having me here again tonight. I'm very excited to be here, of course. Um, my name again is George Roas. I'm uh, with Coming Group and of course your bond program manager. Uh I'm
046excited to be here and this is going to be our fourth bond program update for uh tonight. So right into All right. So quickly starting with the agenda. We always start with the agenda just to talk a little bit about the goals of tonight's presentation. We're going to talk uh briefly about South Tahoe Middle School softball field. We're going to go right into the uh Tahoe Valley Elementary School and also South Tahoe Middle School and just talk a little bit about the pre-construction that's been going on, all the program timeline, go over go over some of the overview of the completed task and what we can expect here in the future and kind of u some of the things that we're going to be working on. So with that, I love sharing pictures. So I
047wanted to share some pictures in tonight and all of the progress that's been going on. So, uh, of course, the South Tahoe Middle School, the softball field has quickly kicked off. Since August, we've been able to make quite a bit of progress on this project. Um, since the June 12th board meeting that we actually brought to you guys, uh, we actually brought you, uh, for board approval our partner, Trader and Brandt. They were the lowest responsive and responsible biders. Since that time, we've been actually working on a lot of the documentation, getting under contract, getting all the insurance documents in place and of course trying to make sure that we get all of the uh permits in place before we can quickly get these things kicked off. Right. So, uh we were able to provide
048them a notice to proceed on August 18th and they have quickly gone out there and done some kind of some amazing work and um you can actually see some of it in the pictures. We uh have done the demolition of the existing parking lot. So far there's been a lot of the grading of all of the different site and then you can actually see in the middle picture where we have the dugouts and all the concrete footings that are going to be going in. Um actually these pictures are almost outdated by now. So if you actually go out there there's actually a lot of progress that's been done in just about a week and a half. You can actually see all the concrete that's been done and all the path of travel. And uh it's
049exciting. We have a lot of different upcoming tasks which are going to be the concrete block placement and installation that's going to be starting here on September 15th. And we are targeting paving which is going to be a major milestone of course before the inclement weather u by October 13th. So, we're uh still tracking very much uh on track, which is we're hoping to complete this project by November 1st and then we can quickly go into one of the most important things that we've been talking about, which is close out of the division of state architect, making sure that we have all the documentation in place that we pay all the different fees so that we can actually get these projects closed out properly and move on to the next project. So, um a lot
050of exciting and you can actually see on the banner, it's exciting to see some of your measure bond dollars at work, of course. So, uh, moving right into the South Tahoe Middle School and also Tahoe Valley Elementary School. Just talk a little bit about the pre-construction and how we're doing and all of the progress that's been done. Now, this presentation slide here kind of gives you an overview just kind of demonstrate what the design phase and also some of the major tasks that are associated with pre-construction phase. Now, the design phase is broken up into three major milestones. One of those is schematic design which we just recently completed which we'll talk a little bit about design development and also the construction drawing phase. Right. Um now this kind of is a quick little overview
051on this presentation slides. It's intended to just give you kind of an overview of the overall process but we'll talk a little bit more in detail what the next uh and into the next slides I should say. Okay. All right. So, uh, one of the first things that we talked about, um, in the actually in the past couple of meetings, we really went through in detail what the RFQ process is and how we develop all of the bond program team, right? That included professional services and these are the folks that are going to help guide all of our design documents. Um, so just to give you a quick update, we've been uh we've been up to a lot of work with our our folks, all of our consultants have been going on site doing a
052lot of the site investigations. So starting off with environmental, we've actually been able to complete the uh NCE has helped us tremendously. We've been able to complete our preliminary meetings, doing all of the side analysis, doing all the coverage calculations, of course, looking at all the different delineations that are required, and really just getting in alignment to make sure that we have everything in order so that we can submit to our regulatory agencies very quickly, which we'll talk about TRPA here on the next coming slides. So aside from that, we've also done surveying this summer. Now survey is being done by Lumis and these folks have been kind of helping us verify all the property lines, location of all the existing utilities and really guiding our civil drawings for us. Um, next is the hazmat
053consultant and of course this is hazardous materials. So that's anything that's lead asbestous and anything else that we may want to make sure that we have in our project documents so that we can have the right approach when we get under construction. So, we've been sampling all the different materials at both sites, really taking advantage of this summer while no one's there, really taking all the different samples, of course, and now we are kind of finalizing all the different reports. These reports will eventually make it over to our leaseback contractor so they can make sure that they can do things properly when we get under construction. Okay, last one is actually the geotechnical and geohazards consultant. And you can actually see a kind of a fun picture of the big rig that's been out there
054doing some borings. And of course, these folks have been doing a lot of the borings while the kids have been out. Um, that's going to help us with doing all of the lab analysis for soil composition and it's really going to guide all of our civil and structural engineering that's going to come right after this. So, a lot of work has been done with our professional service team and uh we hope to continue that momentum. So, now moving on to just uh project updates here. Um the second major task which of course and this is done typically after the completion of the schematic design and that's scope validation right so we've been really kind of focusing on just making sure that what this task really helps us with is just to confirm that the plan
055design meets all the educational program right we want to make sure that it aligns with everything we want as far as the intent of the measure you bond program so we've been working with our with our partners from studio w just our major goal of course is to translate all the program uh requirements into kind of a physical plan. So you can actually see some of the renditions that we've been working through looking at different materials looking at different things all the different scope that may be required within a site and just really go detail by detail which is actually going to transitions us into the next slide which is one of the most important things which is budget validation. Right. So now budget validation of course we want to make sure that um we
056highlight areas we want to make sure that the scope never goes above your budget right it's that's when things can kind of get into uh we can get into trouble so of course we are highlighting these areas we typically Jamie myself and the rest of the team are looking at just big ticket risk right uh a big component of program management is just making sure that we minimize all the different risks so we're looking at all the existing site conditions, the utility relocations which can be costly. Uh looking at seismic requirements, ADA requirements and of course there's requirements from the division of state architect that we want to be extremely mindful of from the very beginning. Right? So our first step in how we do budget validation is now that we have our scope delineated,
057we actually go back through the coming team actually prepares a very detailed estimate. We also ask our leaseies back entity and this is what's great about the leaseback entity is that they can be on they can be with us from the very beginning. So our contracting partner core construction also prepares a separate estimate. We actually can go back through if you look at the slide on the left hand side and we do a budget reconciliation which is called and we want to make sure that we are both looking at the same type of scope especially while it's conceptual in the very beginning and make sure that we are aligning the scope and what we're seeing as far as cost. So when we did the scope validation and the budget validation, we actually came very close
058within a half of 1% which is almost it's it's it's a very tight estimate. So that means we're really much in alignment with what we're seeing in the uh early programmatic narratives and also the the drawings that we have so far. So again um now when we go through budget validation of course we're trying to minimize risk. We're trying to make sure that we maintain this budget as everybody's being effective within this industry. Of course, everybody's starting to see higher cost in construction and of course there's always some just key drivers of course here in Tahoe which almost accentuate that. So we are looking at of course costs that are being escalated and we're trying to kind of get everything balanced and in alignment. But if we talk about some of the things that really
059affect this area, of course, it's going to be the remote location, additional transportation cost, regulatory and environmental constraints, the very short window that we have for construction, which requires additional overtime and uh you know, additional labor of course, and then we have rising material costs that are really affecting everyone within the industry. Of course, there's supply chain issues and there's inflation and of course escalation that's going to be affecting all of this, right? So what we are trying to do is make sure that we keep everything in alignment. So as we're now seeing a little bit of over costs that are going over our budget. If you look at the middle portion of the slide, you actually see a value engineering exercise. The value engineering exercise is intended so that we can look at where
060we might be kind of high on some things where we could look at maybe some um cost-saving ideas without really compromising the quality or also compromising what we were trying to accomplish. So we went through some of these exercise and then when you see on the far right hand side you actually see the budget um that we're constantly managing and tracking which I got to say Jamie does a phenomenal job at and so he's constantly looking at expenditures and everything else that we might be looking at. So um so that is kind of our budget validation piece is we want to make sure that we continue to stay in alignment with. So in the next slide, another um look talking about a little bit of our citizen oversight committee. Right. So um this was a
061another fun meeting that we had this summer and I I really appreciate all of the community members that are part of the citizens um oversight committee. The district held the very first one in the fe in February roughly and uh we were able to participate in the second one which which we held on August 21st. Now again the purpose of the citizen bond oversight committee is to make sure that all revenues that are expended are only for those that are authorized purposes only. Right? And um we provided all of the committee with all of the expenditures to date and we found that none none are being used for any sort of administrative salaries or anything that might be school operating expenses and everything met the intent of the measure you bond. So um it was
062a great second meeting, first meeting for the coming group along with this team and you can actually see some of the pictures what we presented everything that we've been up to and I think it's really important to show them some of the progress so that when they see the expenditures they can align them together. So now moving right into next steps, right? So uh it's been great to do a lot of this work and I think uh we we've been able to accomplish quite a bit this uh just this summer and even just from the start, but I'm even more excited about what's coming up here next. So as we are looking at next step, you actually can see on the left hand side the little ribbon that is actually tonight's meeting of course. So
063we got quite a few little dots to kind of connect to make sure that gets us to the finish line. Um the next one is a major milestone. The next one is going to be our TRPA design submitt. That is always a huge one. We want to get in as early as we possibly can. We understand that they are also very busy. And so we are targeting the end of this month for Tahoe Valley Elementary School and kind of towards right behind that the middle school kind of roughly in the October timeline. So beyond that, we'll go right into the completion of the design development phase that I mentioned, which is the second phase of the design and we're going to go through another budget validation exercise, another scope validation just to make sure that
064we can keep everything in alignment and within the budget that we are targeting for the phase one, right? Um the next piece will be a storm water pollution prevention plan RFP. So this is a request for proposal as we've done previously for other consultants. This one is coming a little bit later because we have a little bit of time while wear can prepare the plan and then eventually get implemented into construction. So that's something that you're going to be seeing coming to the board here in the near future. Now roughly around the November timeline, uh we hope to complete all of our construction drawing phase. Um that is basically when the drawings are 100% complete. Once we do that, we'll go through another budget validation, make sure we have all the scope covered and make
065sure that before things go out to bid that we are in complete alignment. Right. The target right now is for us to submit everything by mid December to the division of state architect so that we can quickly get in under contract with core construction with all of their subcontractors and get right to uh construction here in the following year. So, um, a lot that we're kind of trying to push across. Now, that is, uh, Tahoe Valley and South Tahoe just kind of just in a big kind of big picture, but I don't want to dismiss that. Of course, we have Brett with Varagy here as well, and sustainability is a huge component of this bond program. So, I'm going to share a couple little bullet points from him. And, um, so, of course, Verig has
066been working really hard and working along right right beside us, right? We're trying to do everything in alignment just to make sure that we're covering everything. Um they've been doing a lot of the sidewalks and just making sure that they're defining all of their scope. Um Brett and team are currently working on boiler plant options to align the overall budgets. They are trying to do some bundling strategies for all the solar installations as well as well as just getting all the confirmations from all their engineering teams. Their big target is of course by the end of September, early October is to make sure that they have all their pricing components, everything complete so they can begin their power purchase agreement. Um, I know there's going to be a probably an update for you folks that's
067going to be a lot more detailed than that and a lot better. I know he can kind of explain here in the near future, but that's kind of a wrap up into everything that we've been kind of doing so far in the last in the few months that we haven't seen each other. So, um, and so with that, I just always like to end with a little bit of teamwork and I just want to thank everybody that's been working on this. Um there's been a lot of work that's happened so far uh from Studio W, our design partners, Core Construction. Um but more importantly, I think district staff, I just want to thank Dr. Culler, uh Kelly and Dave. Um they've been tremendous at answering questions. You know, these things move very fast, so we
068want to make sure that when we meet, we make decisions. We keep things moving right along, but they were also a huge part into some of the workshops that we did, aligning everybody's goals. And I think uh it's been a great team so far. And I think kind of the the pictures demonstrated. So, um, with that, that ends the presentation for tonight. Short and brief, but, um, just wanted to >> Did you say short? Oh, sorry. Sorry. >> It's a lot of info. Um, >> we have questions. >> Uh, I want to turn it back to you guys for any questions. >> All right. I have a I have a question about the softball field. >> Um, so not just the parking lot and the dugouts and things. Does that include the restrooms and the
069snack shack? >> Not at this time. So, currently all that's going to be covered is the dugouts, path of travel. You're going to have the new parking area. So, um all of those um added scope that we kind of just talked about, those may come at a later time. And of course, we're looking at budgets. We're looking at what we can kind of fit within and how to stretch the dollar. So, >> okay. Thank you. >> Any other questions? Um, I was just wondering what is the general description of what you're building over at the softball fields. Sorry, because I just honestly I just don't really know, but I would love to know what it is. >> So, currently right now, >> yeah, what's happening? >> Yeah, absolutely. So, they're going to be doing the
070new dugouts, right? Um, I wish I had a picture to show, but um they're going to be doing the new dugouts. There's going to be new path of travel that's going to be coming there with the bleacher areas. There's new concrete pads that are going to be um kind of the foundation for the bleachers. And of course, you're going to have a new parking area, new configuration, and and hopefully kind of alleviate some of the previous problems that you had with that parking lot. So, it really focuses on the dugouts at this point and then some of the parking area. >> Yeah. And um George, and I appreciate um the schedule. I mean, I appreciate just that, hey, work is underway and it took longer than we thought to get it going. And I appreciate
071that paving's planned by October 13th because uh the October 15th deadline. And I'm just wondering if um there's an opportunity to be faster. I mean, because the weather can happen before October 13th and then paving doesn't happen till later. And anyway, I just I don't know what's built in. Maybe this is just an opportunity for you to share any incentives or the way you think about some of these deadlines in terms of uh maybe motivating construction staff to get things done ahead of schedule because of the weather uncertainties. >> Absolutely. You know, come September, after September, right, is kind of an unknown always, right? So, uh, one of the biggest things we always worry about is batch plants closing because it's too cold. And so, currently we have that outlined as a risk, but um,
072they've been Trader and Brand have been great partners. So, they're very good about communicating. Sometimes you don't get that in a in a hard bid, um, kind of environment, but they've been pretty pretty good. So, we think that we can actually if we do start seeing things starting to change or there's additional risk um, they've already been working on the weekends, right? So, um, we might be looking at different options of what we can do. Um, there's a there's an actual, uh, threshold for temperature and that's something that we're always looking at. So, we'll continue to monitor it and then if it does become a problem, we'll we'll make sure we have, you know, different, you know, ideas of what we can do. So, >> yeah. You know, and just to highlight, we had intention
073we would be on this project much much earlier. We were held up and and George did a nice job of not necessarily making putting blame out there, but we were we were held up and and now we're off and running and this company's doing a seems like an incredible job to start to catch up. So, >> they are they're catching up and I think we're doing good. I think we're tracking well. So, um >> appreciate that. All right. >> Uh thank you. That's it. Thanks, George. >> Jamie, thank you for being here. Yeah. >> And uh item 10B is school services of California proposal for consulting services and this is an action item and Miss Buttery is going to present. On August 14th, Ananette Peltier from school services of California presented a proposal for consulting
074services to conduct a special education study for Lake Tahoe Unified School. Pelier joined this board again on August 28th via Zoom to answer questions related to the proposal. It is staff's recommendation to approve this proposal to conduct a special education study for Lake Taho's uh unified school district uh in spring of 2026. There was weird screeching. George that was on their their timeline of >> it sounded like when she was here uh at the last meeting it was looking like uh February March. >> Yeah. So they're just once we have you approve it we'll lock in a date. Um the last presentation she spoke about the end of February, 1 of March, assuming that as soon as we get your approval, we're going to get connected with them and schedule. Uh so worst case scenario
075would be March, I think. >> Okay. >> Any questions? >> Can I make a motion? >> Sure. And um the plan is that we would make a motion, but then I would wait to take public comment if there is any after we have the motion. Right. So yes, I'll entertain a motion. Um, I make a motion to approve um the School Services of California proposal for consulting services. >> I'll second that motion. >> Right. I have a motion from Trusty Mansfield and a second by Trustee Anderson. And do we have any public comments? >> So, I didn't receive a card, but I do see that Jen Dren and Daryl Miller are here. Do you have Would you guys like to speak at all? >> Welcome to >> Okay. >> Almost. >> Okay. All right. We've
076got a motion. Yeah. Why don't you come? Welcome, U. Darl. Why don't you come to the podium just so we can catch what you're saying? Sure. Thank you. Come on up. Yeah. You've got the proposal in your hand. Thank you. >> Yeah. I guess I'm I'm pleased to hear that the motion for this, you know, we're, as I stated the last time I spoke, we're, you know, very much behind this getting done. And it was uh I was pleased with um uh I can't remember her name, but I know what's on here. >> Janette and Janette Pilty. >> Yes. You know, she answered my questions and thanks Dr. Cutler for letting her respond directly to my comments. Um >> and I'm going to be um you know, as the chairman of the community advisory committee
077for special education, I'm going to be sending out a copy of this to the to the families that are on my email list. >> Yeah. um spec maybe not the whole thing in its entirety but but specifically uh the data review and analysis section which you know has the bullet points on there. >> Yeah. >> Um and and I do see specifically that there is um discussion for >> um how the district forms and operates with the community advisory committee and the parent advisory committee with the district and the SUPA. So, we're looking forward to that and yeah, we're just looking forward to um working with SSC um as Ananette had mentioned in the last meeting, you know, and providing um you know, feedback as a community advisory committee, but also just from the special,
078you know, needs community for students with disabilities. I think that's really important that that's a a collaborative effort in this process. So, thanks a lot for um Lori. I know you and I have spoke in the past. Um um I'm glad that um um that you guys saw fit to to do this and get an outside agency and we just hope that it remains uh independent, unbiased and leads to action plans, you know, to facilitate better learning for our students with disabilities >> and better communication and collaboration between um the community for special needs and the school district. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Any other comments? And I just want to say um thank you for your comments uh Darl as well as um I appreciate that as part of the proposal there is a
079uh as part of the contract really with the consultants is um a report out you know presentation and and I talked to Dr. Cutler a little bit about whether that's in the form of a you know board presentation but I'm really hoping it's more of a open working session with um with staff the board and the community um the special ed uh parent community so that you know and we talked about a special that it could be a special meeting focused on that so that we can hear the recommendations and um ask questions and and you know possibly formulate a plan you know uh together about what what are the most important you know steps for improvement. So we look forward to that. So I appreciate that's part of the pro proposal. Okay. So that
080being said, we have a motion from um Trusty Mansfield at the second by Trustee Anderson. All those in favor say I. >> I. I. >> Those opposed say nay. Okay. Seeing none. >> You. >> Unanimous. Thank you. And our next agenda item is our is another action item on the unodudited uh actual financial reports for the period ending June 30th, 2025. >> Good evening, President Keer and board of trustees. Tonight I'm walking you through our Lake Tail Unifi's 2425 unodudited actuals. This is essentially our financial report card, revenues, expenditures, and how everything stacked up against what we projected in June. I always like to show our This is my favorite slide. You'll see it every time. Um of what in that budget timeline um it's the teacher in me. Sorry, I'm not going to apologize.
081Um, so right now we're in September from our prior year unodudited actuals. So if you recall, we'll be talking usually about prior year, fiscal year, um, and then even current year. So prior year right now we're talking about 2425. We are in fiscal year 2526. The our total revenue came in at uh 62.1 million. As usual, LCFF is the biggest contributor at about 69% of our funding. Federal revenue covers title programs and special education. State revenues include lottery funds, mandated block grants, and more special education dollars. The local revenue is a smaller bucket, donations, interest, uh meal and transportation fees, basically just a mix of all predictable streams, and then small little add-ons. On the expense side, also 62.1 million um and with no real surprise, 82% goes to salaries and benefits. PE schools are
082people driven organizations. So most of our resources do go into staffing. The other 18 is spent on books, supplies, services, and operating costs. That ratio hasn't really changed. It's pretty steady with prior years. There we This is where it got a little bit interesting. revenues ended up a little lower than we'd projected. Uh that's tied in the shifts to LCFF factors, changes in property taxes, adjustments in federal, state, and local sources as well as our declining enrollment uh and um unfortunately consistent their ADA sort of maintained at a lower rate. It's consistent with other districts um since uh postcoid expenses also came in under budget mainly because of our lower spending in books supplies and services. Um our ending fund balance is actually up 1.6 million compared to projections. In other words, we managed to
083finish a little bit stronger than we had thought, meaning uh a lot of the cuts that we did make towards the end of the year really did help pay off. Um there we go. So these are all the funds. It's the fund um not just normally what we're talking about is fund one 01 which is the general fund. These are all the other uh restricted and unrestricted accounts. So special education pass through you can see it's at zero. It's basically money that we get as the administrative unit for our SULPA. We pass through um just a set dollar amount annually to Alpine County. um cafeterias fund 13 they are um growing we actually have to spend all that money down we are carrying more than six months of uh cash right now there so we
084have a plan to spend that one down um these are just sort of the all of the other funds and you can notice building it is it looks really high it should that's what our bond is so um a year ago that was a a zero there was we didn't have any money in that account so it's all there now Um, so this side shows the fund balance comparison. Takeaway here is that our conservative budgeting and steady staffing costs gave us some extra cushion. It's a good place to be, especially with how unpredictable school funding can be. Any questions? Thank you for Thank you for this presentation and thank you for all your hard work putting it together and learning how to do all this. We understand that it's a really big thing. Mar Perez
085Benet my director um she and I both put in a lot of hours and she put a lot of work as well and so um she has was told today starting um first interim she's going to start presenting with me because she does so much work she does need to be here and and she said but I have I have an accent I need practice so I can't go tonight and I said I would never surprise you and tell you you're coming tonight to present so she you will start seeing more of her uh with the presentations with me because she deserves a lot of credit as well. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. >> Thank you. >> And thank you for all the work to, you know, make some reductions so that we
086could offer uh teachers and staff, you know, some additional support with the benefits this year. So, I appreciate all that work. So, thank you. Any other questions or comments? Okay. And this is an action item. So, do I have a motion? Motion to approve. I need a motion to approve the >> I move to approve the 2425 un audited actual financial report for the period ending June 30th, 2025. Do >> I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Okay. I have a motion by Trusty Mansfield and a second by Trusty Kamacho. All those in favor say I. >> I. Those opposed. Okay. Unanimous support. And then next we have our item 11 which is a board governance item. Um June and August board policy updates first reading. This is an information item. >> Yeah, President
087Kemp, members of the board, in front of you this evening is from CSBA's batch of June and and August updates for board policy. Um you have a list of those board policies in the agenda item which are are many. Um, and if and and by the way, I wanted to just make sure because I had a conversation with the trustee. If any board of these board policies, you don't have to approve the entire batch at any time. We bring them to you as batches. Um, it's the best way and easiest way to keep up on top of them. There's a lot for you. Um, so you could say, "Hey, we'd like to pull this one for additional further looks." I want to make sure that I said that to the board member in a meeting,
088but also publicly that we the CSBA through all of the changes with legislation and all of the the the information that continues to change um in our in our state, they stay on top of providing us these updates and and most of them are based on legal components if not all depending on on on what's brought forward. Um and so you have a lot in front of you this evening. It obviously is our intent that if there's no concerns that we'll bring them back for action at at at the next board meeting, but I just wanted to express that if there's any concern or you'd like to pull one for additional conversations, we will always be willing and ready to do that. >> With that said, are there any question? >> Any questions? Yeah, I'm
089looking at one that related to safety planning um that we have until 26 27th school year, but it's specific to evacuation procedures in the event of a wildfire that that's like a new law, you know, and so that's the kind of thing that just understanding our our abilities, you know, I know we've put a lot on and Mr. Zebo's already stepped out of the room, but I know that's on him to pay attention to some of these things. So, um >> yeah, and just a note on safety, right? So, our our school principles along with their staff work on each site's safety plan. we work on a districtwide how we support those safety plans as in a district-wide safety plan. Mr. Zeba is is responsible um because of so many of the things regarding facilities,
090transportation, those elements that he he oversees, but we all work together on our our safety plans as well. So, thank you. >> All right. All right. Seeing none, we have another and this is the information item. So, there'll be a discussion and then action for these U policies. so we can ask more questions in the future. Um, and then our next item is uh 11B, discuss and review the 2526 board governance calendar. President Kimber, members of the board, we bring forward to you usually at least twice a year just to go ahead and um bring for review to you as well as the public our board governance calendar. For those that don't know, the board governance calendar is really an outline. There's two sides to it. one specific to topics and one's specific to departments.
091Um, and so the departments know things that they need to be thinking about as they're coming forward. We we work through this pretty regularly. We make adjustments and changes as necessary based on the eb and flow of the work, but it really keeps us focused on when when and how you will hear things. Some of the adjustments were just a few movement of LCAP um presentations and programs. some of the dates, some of the months seemed like it was kind of piled together, so we wanted to space those out for this current year. Um, some of the safety components were actually under a different area, so we wanted to get those down into to Dave Zebo's facilities area. Otherwise, pretty much the same as we've had in previous um years. Just wanted to make sure
092we brought it for review. If there are any questions or you want additions or changes, we're ready to do that. This is this is for presentation purposes. This is a guide for us. um not necessarily an action item. >> Any uh comments or questions or suggestions? and some of the um LCAP's kind of mentioned both under setting direction LCAP as well as um education services where the data that's where the I ready the data >> so and we can there's some redundancy on both pages but again on one page it has educational services student services special education English language department innovation those are really intended to make sure that the departments understand it's their that is their role and then you knowing that that's the department's role >> and that there and that they have
093reports back to the board. Okay. Thank you. And um I do see and and I do see we still um we have the SULPA updates and um special ed updates including the community advisory committee report and I know last year we did not uh do that officially but it is here for May and I hope that we can work with Bill and and the community advisory committee to >> I believe Bill's update provided that but any direction that you have for us. Thank you. Yeah, that and then um and then the other thing I would like to add is um the regular bond updates that were like we heard from George >> making sure they're inside of this document. Yeah. >> One of the things that I would share with you um we will come
094back more often when there's more activity. So we'll we'll place them on here >> and this is just this one's dated you know for this year. I mean 25 26 so we can think about how when it makes sense to do update. I know George is >> so I'll get with I'll get with George and we'll add it on there and provide for you. >> And I appreciate that today's report mentioned the um the advisory committee the that's the community advisory committee for the bond that um >> yeah that they that we get some sort of information related to how those meetings are going to whether George presents that or whomever you know >> thank you. >> Yeah. >> All right. And that's just an information item. So now our next item is the consent
095agenda item 12. Uh, do I have a motion for the items on the consent? >> I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. I'll second that. >> Okay. I have a motion from Trusty Kamacho and a second by Trusty Mansfield. All those in favor say I. I. Those opposed say nay. Okay. Motion carries unanimously. Next item is items for consideration at future board meetings. Any suggestions for items that were not on this governance calendar that you'd want to see on a a future agenda? and and we noted those that you just shared for that governor's calendar. We'll work on that. Okay. >> Yeah. Anything else? Okay. Seeing none. Uh then it is time for German at 7:15. I want.
