So, thank you. Happy retirement. Okay, up first um we have Got you. Okay. Right now, uh, we have a award for Mrs. Sher Houston Brown. Uh, she joined us a couple of years ago. Uh, she had a everlasting impact on the school, uh, the way our systems ran, um, the way her classroom ran. actually ran
009a thinking classroom that was absolutely dynamic and nuvo in its nature at MH. Uh students were up collaborating, leading students with questions of inquiry and most importantly holding um students, families, colleagues, administration accountable for ensuring our best student outcomes uh were what our target was. So this is for Mrs. Houston Brown. Mr. Carl, he had many, many, many years of excellent PE teaching. Uh, two years of social science teaching that I'm sure were also excellent. I was not there to see it. I heard positive things. Um, but his impact on MPH and the district as a whole uh is great. He reached thousands of students uh with his commitment to instilling uh the importance of physical health, athleticism, skill um and team values that that will hold our serve our students well currently and in
010the future. Um I don't know if you guys know Mr. Herman, but he was one of the more dedicated teachers I've ever seen there early setting up uh instilled systems and sports and advocated for the great PE program we have today where we offer spikeball, pickle ball, volleyball, basketball, football, kickball, any type of sport that we offer in the kids lab. Six week units instrumental in our piece PLC plan. he was doing um a lot of the work that we were trained to do uh instinctively with his PE department units data evaluation uh enrichment intervention opportunities for physical health. So thank you to Mr. Dur and Mrs. Houston Brown. Next up, we have LA E to come on up, please, for Miss Parker. >> Well, Cindy is not here. It's going to be hard for
011me not to cry. Cindy is everybody's surrogate mom. She is so wonderful. She has given her heart to this district for so many years. I mean, I remember her from when I was a kid, okay? I don't mean it to age her by any means because she's fabulous. But I have begged her not to leave us. She's phenomenal with kids of all ages. She took over our preschool special education program and she did such an amazing job. The kids grew exponentially and we are very excited to see her go. But we're excited for her to be able to spend more time at church and with your garden. It's generous in the garden. All right, the last retiree is uh she retired earlier in the year. However, um she spent many years with uh RIM, but
012I'm going to bring up Miss Whiteside and put her on the spot to talk a little bit about Bobby. >> All right. Okay. So, throughout her career, she has shared her knowledge, expertise, compassion, and unlaboring commitment to student success. um if you knew her at VOE, which I don't know if Bethany would like to join me or not, but um amazing things with students, really has a huge passion for science um and STEM and the the science nights that they created. When we were able to take her on in the educational services department, she was um instrumental in building relationships that were pretty much already there, but connecting elementary schools across our uh district, building assessments, building common understanding, but really for the right reasons. um you know meaningful intentional student learning um beyond her
013professional contributions she's just a genuinely wonderful remarkable human being so she may be in Costa Rica right now um as uh that's where she goes and has a wonderful time all the time u but uh we wish her well um and she did leave us in December but um she still sends us emails every so often so always still dedicated to the cause so Bobby Berto as we know recognize our two classified employees that have retired. Mr. Robin Love has was an instructional aid over at NPH within our special ed department. His dedication to the kids truly came through and he served eight years here at Rim of the World uh Unified School District and he is retiring and moving on. And Mr. Ryan Golding who was at the uh graduated from Rim High School,
014years of service within the district, 28 years as a custodian over at RHS. Uh had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Golding several times and gentleman's a fascinating gentleman and he's smiling and he's he he has some stories and and he's a fascinating gentleman. So we'd like to recognize Mr. Barry Golding 28 years unified school district uh custodian. Thank you very much. >> This is >> what we're gonna do.

All right. >> Thank you. 10.4 is hold on let me get it together here educational services presentation by the San Bernardino Community College District Scc on 100 years of affordability and skilled trades. I'm going to invite Mrs. Whiteside to the the little red dot thing. You can do your >> There you go. >> All right. We would like to welcome up from the Sanino Community College District, Trusty Carlos Aguular,
016who will be presenting on April 30th. >> Hello. Push the bus. There he goes. The red dot. >> There he goes. Thank you. Thank you. Hello. Good evening. Thank you, Dr. Paul and the board for having us tonight. We really appreciate it. My name is Carlos Ailera. I live here in Crustline. So super excited because quick five minute drive. Usually I have to drive down. It'll take a lot longer. Uh excited. I'm a trustee for the San Marino Community College District. Our district encompasses San Marino Valley College, Craftton Hills College. So we're here to talk about opportunities that we can connect with our community members and of course our students to workforce and educational opportunities. As an advocate for the community, I hope we can continue to collaborate and work together. The goal is to
017make sure our students and community know of these resources and know that they are available to them. And I have the immense honor also of introducing our incredible chancellor, Dr. Diana Rodriguez. >> Thank you, Trusty Agade. I don't know if we can. I'm always ly somebody's on here. Thank you so much for having us. It is a uh a pleasure to be here. As trustee Aguila said, we represent the San Bernardino Community College District represents um Craftton Hills College, which I know that you are all very very familiar with, San Bernardino Valley College, also KBCR Public Radio and an economic development center, and a whole host of other holdings. So, we're we are excited to be here and talk about our last 100 years and where we where we're going to be heading um in
018the next 100 years. And at the end, we're going to ask for your help. And it's easy. I promise you. Um but we would really like to have um your input as we lay the foundation for the next um 100 years. I would love to sit here and talk to you forever about everything that we've been doing and we've done, but I think our team has captured it best in a video. So, if we can we can show that, that would be great. For 100 years, people in the Inland Empire have walked through our doors looking for a better life. And for 100 years, they've found one. This year, the San Bernardino Community College District and San Bernardino Valley College mark a century of opening opportunity close to home. It started in 1926. Local workers
019from every trade and walk of life. Community members who believe college shouldn't be far away or out of reach. And here's something that many people don't know. In 1926, voters in San Bernardino created San Bernardino Valley Junior College. This was the first college in California that was designed as a junior college. >> And it were veterans returning from war, parents taking night classes after long shifts, young people dreaming of something more. Senior citizens learning new skills and finding new purpose in this stage in life. Then came flipped the switch on KBCR in 1953, the first radio station owned by a community college. In 1962, it became Southern California's first public educational TV station. It grew into an Emmy winning station. And today, it's home to FNX First Nations Experience, the nation's only Native American TV
020channel created with the nation of San >> in Ukipa. Community partners stepped forward donating 523 acres. so a new college could grow. Craften Hills College opened in 1972 and brought new opportunities to the East Valley. Soon after, Craftton launched the region's first community college paramedic program. Those graduates still answer the call across two counties every single day, protecting families like yours. Valley partnered with the sheriff's department to create one of California's largest law enforcement academy. Generations of peace officers started their careers right here. >> Welders, nurses, teachers, technicians, small business owners, a whole region shaped by people trained at Valley and Tractor. >> And today that impact is everywhere. more than $720 million return to our community each year because our graduates earn more and spend those dollars at local businesses. When people train here
021succeed, the Inland Empire succeeds and so do you. Real training, real skills, real jobs that strengthen our community. >> In 2001, the district opened a workforce training center. People coming home from incarceration came for a fresh start. >> The Inland Empire faced recessions, rising rent, raising costs, families held on and the colleges held on with them. Still affordable, still within reach. And the students kept coming because even in the toughest times, we stayed the affordable college option in this region. >> Today, nearly 30,000 students a year train for careers that keep this region running. Caring for patients, teaching our kids, protecting us from wildfires. They study after work and after putting their kids to go as a better life starts with one class, one certificate, one chance. >> And now, as we begin our next
022century, new classrooms, labs, and student spaces are being planned to help Inland Empire residents train for the careers of tomorrow. a 100 years behind us, a new century ahead, and a community that still believes in opportunity, in hard work, in second chances, and in each other. Let there be more first generation graduates, more skilled talent, trained right here at home. Let the next century begin. We are ready. >> I just love that video. Every time I watch it, I even learn something new about about our district. So the um you know, one of the things that really comes to mind with for the campus, the district, it's been around for a hundred years. We just celebrated being our 100th birthday is that we we know and we feel that the community trusts us. They trust
023us with their education. They trust us with their with their family members to educate them and the business community trust us to train skilled workforce. Super excited about that. You know, currently we serve nearly 30,000 students um across both of our colleges and growing. Um we're expected to exceed our targets again for for another year. And it's interesting kind of a fun fact if you will. You know, I'm I'm out in the community quite a bit, both on the east and the west end of our district, and everywhere I go, someone always says, "Oh, I went to Craftton, my sister went to Valley, my grandmother went to Valley, and so on." So, there's such deep roots in our community that it's just it's amazing to me to have you. And as part of our district,
024we have um seven board of trustees. And five years ago when we really when I came in as chancellor, we really started talking about what is it we want to accomplish? What do we want to do together as a team and after doing the research, looking at different data points, asking our community what it is that they want and need. Right? A couple of years ago, our board of trustees put together four books for our for our district. And I won't read them to you. You can see them see them on the screen. But we are committed to these four goals because they are also in alignment with what our community has told us. So, we've been out really talking to our students in our community and asked them, "What's what's important to you?" And
025what is important to them is that we remain affordable. We they they've asked us not to increase tuition, do what we can to establish affordable books, portions, and affordable materials for our students. and in coming to Bracken Hills College or San Bernardino Valley College and we'd like to, you know, tell the community and let them know the amount of dollars that they're saving. You know, we are in essence about six times less expensive than the CSU than the California State University. We're about 16 times less expensive than the University of California. And for transfer, it's the first two years of the same very similar education that we can transfer into those four-year colleges and universities. So, we like to think that we are kind of the best value of education for the first two years.
026And on this slide, it kind of gives you a photo, a screenshot of how much it can be to go to to the different schools. I won't read all of them to you, but you can see where a private school, private profit school could cost upwards of $34,000 a year to go to school a year, whereas at one of our institutions, it's about $1,500 and change our schools. The things that are important to us again over the over the last 100 years in serving our community in asking what is important to you. These are the areas here that you see, healthc care, emergency response and skill trades that are extremely important to our community when we ask them what's important. You know, nurses, we know about the shortages of nurses in our communities, you know,
027across California. Um, San Bernardino Valley College has an extraordinary extraordinary nursing program, respiratory care and and Brad Tech, Craftton Hills College, second to none in those areas. Emergency response firefighting um I would say the premier firefighting um training institution in this in the state, if not the nation, at Captain Hills College. uh public safety at um San Bernardino Valley College nearly I think it's upwards of 90% of all the graduates that come out of our um public safety training secure employment with the first responders and and we're proud of that. We're proud that we're able to contribute to our communities in that way. trade skills, um welders, electricians, HVAC folks. Um they can for those who are not interested in continuing on to a four-year school, they can make an amazing living in the trades.
028One story that I I like to share with folks is that a couple of years ago, we had a young lady who was working in our heavy truck mechanics area, the heavy diesel and trucks, working on EV and maintenance and so on. She signed a six figure contract with Volvo. And so that is lifech changing for her family that she is able that she's able to do that. And that's just one one success story, you know, um plumbers, you know, I don't know. I don't know about you all. Recently, I had to call a plumber on a weekend and see how much they can make. It it is a a great living um Hback. We have an extraordinary program for an impeding air conditioning. And I just learned a couple of weeks ago that there
029is a shortage of over 500,000 HVAC work or HVAC workers across the United States. So huge demand for the trades and we're proud that we just recently opened our applied technology building that houses all of these trades in there. So super excited to be able to do that and again provide the community what they're asking us to do. We're also very much um concerned about keeping our classrooms and our labs prepared for our students, not just for today, right? Our classrooms and our labs are designed hopefully for what we will need in the future, for what our students will need in the future. So, we are continuously upgrading and improving our equipment, our technology, including AI um and not only in the classroom, but also in how we do business so that we can be
030more efficient and better stewards of taxpayer dollars. We've been going around and asking our community, sending out surveys and so on. Again, what's important to you? And on this slide, this this is the feedback that we received so far. safety, healthy um learning environments, training for mobile jobs. And that's important to us that we train students to be able to work in our communities and not necessarily have to leave for other areas, the skilled trades, and just preparing for for future for future workforce. So, people want us to stay affordable. what is the trades? So, and so the homework or the class of you all right now because I know that several of you have have your phones because we're all taking pictures of the of the retirees and I'd like to ask for those
031audience as well to participate because we value your feedback as well. You can scan the QR code. There is a very short survey. I promise you it is very short. Six questions only. >> We would love your feedback on what's important to you as we're starting to build our strategic plan and to lay our foundation for the next 100 years. in doing that 10, 20 years at a time. So, we would love your feedback on that and we're happy to answer any questions you might have. >> Please, please make sure to fill that out. I, you know, when they came to me, I was like, we got to have this short because, you know, I have this joyful future rim student that's bugging me. So, if I can't do it quickly, I know everyone else,
032you know, is going to be busy. So, please help us fill it out. We really value, you know, your input. Uh we take that serious. Um I myself am always trying to make sure our students, community members know and recognize that San Marino Valley, Craftton Hills is in their community and is accessible because sometimes our students and communities forget that and especially up here in the mountain and it's something important for for me because you just heard affordability is number one. You saw that price tag. You cannot beat our education. And we have incredible uh professors, our our staff as you can see, Dr. Diana and you know I went to USC so do not remind me of how costly that was. So thank you all for having us. We're happy to answer any questions.
033anything. >> I just love the sur the fact that we say so wonderfully that we will definitely tap in and that our first responder programs are now and all of that our welding we do have a great welding program that our kids can go in and do one year and then boom they're making a lot of money. So I just appreciate that we have such great alignment that develops that helps us out with that. But I just value value value. There are more kids when you go uh to our graduation. The principal usually asks, "Okay, which of you are going to military? Which of you are going into four year?" And then when they get to which are you of you are going to community two-year college, that is the most of kids standing up
034is that they are deciding to go that pathway to a fouryear or to whatever to to get an associates degree. But I just love the fact that we too have that great pathway from our high school into I love craft. I mean it's it's a natural craft but also >> yeah thank you for this appreciate it. >> I do have a question um one of your previous slides uh where you surveyed the community and was it our community that you surveyed in terms of the various things that seemed really focused on what we need up on the mountain. Was that was that so that um extending work extending workforce training for wildfire protection, snow removal? That seemed like Oh, was that from our our community members or was that >> Yes, that was from the
035the mountain community. >> Okay. I just wanted to confirm that. Okay. All right. Seemed pretty spot on as far as stuff I would say. >> Were they ready in case they need it down there? The snow we don't know. Yeah, >> there is no more cost effective education than to go to a community college. >> Absolutely. >> And and I appreciate that and and anyone of us that have been involved in fire knowing Hills has some place there seem to be a great place to get your training in law enforcement and all. But I would just say don't lose sight of because it it almost seems like there was so much emphasis on the the technical education which is wonderful. I mean I really appreciate that like Sydney saying that's really fits with us and
036the things that we also try to do with our students but but I would just say don't lose sight of the fact that it is the most cost effective way go on to a four-year school. >> Absolutely. And so so all those basics are really really important and get getting those general ed classes out of the way in those first two years when it costs so much less. So don't lose sight of that because there is that other piece that's so important and that is that people are going to use you as a stepping stone onto the floor. So thank you for what you do. >> You're you're absolutely right about not losing sight of that. In fact, we have articulation agreements with every CSU, with every California State University, and the majority of UC's
037and all of the private schools in our area. So, it is it is just as important as the technical training. So, thank you for that. And they learn and we are seeing we have you know such a great need for nurses and program our kids are trying to get in let them know give them priority but thank you for filling those those needs uh back n those first responder jobs some of our bits have gone through the academy sharing I mean, you know, come back to us and then you don't really take them seriously because you know that they teball and they were little hips and yeah, I don't know if I you know, it's like really you're sh. So, it's kind of cool to see them come back and service our community in that
038way. So, thank you. >> So, wanted to express the the core goals that that I appreciate. It seems like that you guys are working on trying to make sure that you are increasing access to our map community to community college courses. So that's really happened recently and I appreciate the effort being up here. We choose to be up here, but it does take us away from a lot of the well resources that our closest neighborhood um resources that um other communities down the trail are able to have a fiveminute drive bridge walk to. So you are definitely making strides eliminating barriers to student access um up here that would be something that we've really suffered from and so um making the strides coming up here speaking here coordinating with Dr. Siana with the high school
039really is huge for our community for all ages, not only for our, you know, our under 18 year olds, but moving into the build. So, it's fantastic. And then also, as you have there, another goal in terms of being a leader and partner in addressing regional issues. I would say that that would be a regional issue up here is again access to services. Thank you. We're gonna have Dr. Saviano. He's he's chomping at it. about a bit, but I just want to thank you for your outreach. Uh you've been tremendous with, you know, providing opportunities for our students. We started our pharmacy tech program with you. Students are going to actually complete that program in the future. Uh we're reaching out right now working on a potential dual enrollment uh you know, agreement. We're having
040discussions meeting tomorrow. uh in addition to we begin an adult education program, we're definitely looking at the CT pathway for them to develop for adult ed. We do believe there's there's opportunities there to some vertical articulation with those programs. Um so I want to just thank you for your outreach and thank you for contin >> Thank you. I appreciate you'll make me trip out here or something like but thank you for coming and speaking with us tonight. I was curious one of the things that I'll reflect in the survey but one of the things that uh it's nice to have your individual agency is doing California and I be curious what types of partnerships you're looking to expand public school district. So we're um I'll answer that in two parts. First off, under the uh
041leadership of um President Haram at um Traford Hills College and Dr. Keith Lords who's with us as well as our vice president of instruction. Um they have made it a real priority with Mountain Communities, a true priority. Um and and I'm happy to see that that you all see that as as well. So super super excited about that. um we're all crossing our fingers that we can um start offering dual and mobile forces soon. So I hope tomorrow's meeting goes well. Fingers crossed. So we're excited. Thank you. Yes. And so when you ask what type of partnerships are we looking for for various schools, what we really hope to do is to offer dual enrollment. Right. One of one of my visions is to offer dual enrollment at every high school starting with starting in
042the 10th grade for students that they take at least one or two classes during every semester. So that by the time that they finish high school, they could have in essence finished at minimum a year of college. We hear time time and time again, one of the reasons that students don't go to college, first is finances. We can help them with that. >> Second is they think it's for somebody else. They think that they can't do it. We would love to be able to tell them what you just did and it's not a watered down curriculum. It's the same education that they would get if they graduated high school and straight up. So that's that's the vision. That's what we're hoping to do is to again offer dual enrollment in every single high school within
043our service area. We'll get there. We'll get there. I certainly want to say thank you for the opportunity to absolutely. >> Anything else? >> Just your second quote talks about anti-racism. both of the campuses who don't need to fight racism. >> Sure. Some of the things that we're doing is that both of our campuses are now designated as Hispanic serving institutions, right? It's it doesn't mean that we do not service all students, right? Because we do. It allows us to apply for additional grant monies, right? so that we can bridge more dollars in and be able to close those equity gaps. Um I believe Craftton Hills College has made greater strides than San Valley College has at the moment and that uh Dr. Warz correct me if I'm wrong. I believe you have close your
044equity gaps. Correct. >> Absolutely. and our Hispanic and black student population. We've been statistically significantly increased over the last years. Again, you know, committed to closing the equity gaps so that we can show a graduation rate that is high amongst all um ethnic populations. We also just recently at San Bernardino Valley College um earned what's called the uh BSI location, black serving institution, election serving institution. So hopefully in the near future there'll be opportunities for us to apply for additional dollars so that we can make sure that we keep the gap closed and also move closer to closing the gap of that 78. Any other questions or moments? No. Thank you so much for you traveling so far. Thank you so much for seeing that effort. >> Obviously a very wise trusty. >> Yes. >>
045Move up here. >> Thank you all so much. Thank you. Appreciate your time. Thank you. >> So next we have 9.0 the public hearing procedures for public hearing. The public hearings are required on specific items such as the local patrol state facility plan and budgets. Persons who wish to address the governing board on the matter set for a public hearing must complete a speaker form and submit it to the executive secretary to the superintendent before the meeting is called to order. Once the board president opens the public hearing, individual speakers are then commanded up to five minutes to support, opposed, or otherwise offer an opinion on the issue, the board limits the total time for public input to 20 minutes. When public input has concluded, the board president will close the result hearing. Do we
046have any secret sheets, by the way? Just putting it out there. Okay, then I'm going to skip the forums and go straight to my blinds. Educational services presentation and public hearing to allow public input on the 2647 control accountability plan. No, no, she presents and then we call the order. She's consent first. Good evening and executive cabinet. Thank you for the opportunity to again share our welcome. Uh here we are for our public hearing. So you have a presentation here tonight that is also in front of you. Um as our room turns here, we will do I always have struggles with there. Okay. All right. Um, this first slide next, >> why don't you just go next? >> Okay. >> To go back. >> Not that one. >> Okay. All right. So, on this first
047section, this is actually very brief, so get ready to quit again. Um, thank you. So this first section, if you were going to take a look at the lovely LCAP, which is in the back there, it's about this thick. So if you wanted to take a look, um, this first slide is basically going to give you the major slashes. So you could flip to the area of MOSI. So consider that your table of contents. Um, your major areas on the left are primarily what we'll talk about today. Um, which is an overview of how we've got to build, right? how the educational partner feedback, how the data, how all of the things that you've heard about throughout the year helped to shape the LCAP and then from there shaping the narratives go into the future.
048Oh, uh, next slide is also very quick. This one again is just a reminder of the state, local, and uh, state and local measures as well as the state priorities that must be accounted for in the LCAP. Um, every year you get a copy of the short version of the LCAP. Um, this one I'll send to you digitally. Um, but it's 12 pages versus 200. So, you have an opportunity to just go straight to the priorities, the measures, and um, the actions in goals and metrics. So, >> yeah, >> that's fair. >> Keep it >> 12 instead of 200, right? So, next slide there. Um, as we all know, our overview of our district with seven schools, approximately 2,866 students, and 360 staff. Um, you can see our demographics there in the breakdown of the
049students that we serve both by our e ethnicity populations as well as student program groups and status. Um, but as we look at that, we want to make sure that all of those groups are um equitably represented across those educational partner meetings. So that bottom section is gives you the data on how many meetings really go into building the LCAP from our LCAP educational partner meetings. Tell a friend to always go to those. Um the surveys that we send out, the DAC meetings, um working with our site administrators, going to site leadership meetings, um working through a professional learning community. There's a lot that we do to make sure that we're hearing the voice of our students, of our staff, and our community. um and that we're incorporating that voice into the document. >> Question
0502866. Is that a CES number? >> Uh yes. >> Next slide there. One you see often again breaks down our four goals. Um the first three are major goals are are broad goals and then the goal for is a focus goal for Mountain High School as a equity multiplier. Um, and again, those are the priorities that align to the state priorities that you saw in the previous slide that are indicated in each of those goals. So, basically, these first couple of slides, you're seeing where would you find each of these pieces of information. If you did want to jump in to the toner base, um you're going to hear a little bit more about the budget, well, a lot more about the budget from uh Mavlin here shortly, but this is the short version here.
051um which normally you'll see in the beginning of um the outcome as well as at the end. Right? So we call it the bot um but the budget overview for parents um is when you see the the graphic on the front that breaks down the percentages of our budget. Um our local control funding formula or LCF it's about 40.4 million other state funds 6.7 local funds 3.3 federal funds 1.4 and total revenue at 51.8 million. um our high needs students funding and supplemental concentration grant funding 5.75 million um and our key message nearly 78% of our district revenue is generated through our LCFF but again I would leave that to the expert who is coming next um in this sum so um looking at those expenditures again an important reminder of why it's uh those
052educational partner meetings and understanding our schools our students and community is so important because those dollars and cents are meant to make a difference um for the efficacy of student learning note plans. Um the plan summary um that is the section that that um and I just gave you a quick little snippet because you've seen the data in several previous meetings um but it breaks down what the changes have been from 2023 to 20 24 to 2025. This is the end of our three-year cycle. Next year we'll be starting a new three-year cycle. Um and we look at the trends for the baseline till year one year two and the difference across there. So if again you were looking at the larger document, you wanted to look at the metrics, you'd really want to look
053at the difference from baseline um to our final year to identify the growth, right? Um and then based on that, those metrics are used to determine whether the actions are effective and the dollars and cents that we put towards those actions um are are meeting those needs. So when we look at that and we see our percentages that we've shared um and looking at our continued areas of need that we've been sharing looking at our focus groups for differentiated assistance like students with disabilities our long-term English learners our math achievement our early literacy product absenteeism and reclassification rate. Um but keep in mind our reclassification ceremony did just happen on Tuesday. What day of the week is it? Um we did have an increase there. We had 27 students reclassify this year. Um and we
054went from 11.8% reclassification to 12.2. Um so we are seeing that steady growth. Um there is a bill out there that we're watching for to see if there's a change in that reclassification criteria um that we can get. So I'm sure >> going down from the multiple to one. >> Yeah. from multiple measures to getting a forced. This next slide um breaks down and again the next section you'd see in the LCAP um is our comprehensive school improvement and the equity multiplier um as you saw Mountain High School exited CSI uh NH exited in 2024 and they're currently in TSI um which is it's basically an off year. you're in targeted um school improvement while they want to continue to see improvement to keep your exit if that makes sense. Um and then um we've
055got Charles Hoffman in ATSI and that's for chronic absent. Our equity multiplier site which um also gives us goal four in the LCAP is Mountain High School. Uh we continue to look at metrics around attendance, graduation, credit recovery, wellness supports and post-secary readiness. Um and we did see from our uh our graduation rate a 30% increase um which was huge for our mountain students um up to uh 70 70% um in our in our final year. So a little bit more will come in a future slide on the details of the actions associated with um the educational partner engagement. Again you heard this in an earlier uh presentation this year. Um I just gave a couple of the highlights when we do talk to students, families, DAC parents, community members, bargaining units, teachers, staff, administrators.
056Um we are looking for that voice that is a theme, that phenomenological um component that we continue to hear. And I I popped in the three tops for each of those, but again, you saw an entire presentation on that reason, right? Um so the next couple of slides are going to break down um as you see each of those actions in order by goal one. You can see the breakdown of dollars and cents. Of course, um Jenny's going to give you a little bit more detail on that. And of course, those are always um slight changes that can happen um you know, based on those revisions that we received. So, uh, looking at all of the dollars and cents and major programs, again, you see that our district is focusing heavily, and that's on the
057next slide. Um, on our professional learning community, you I think you really can't have a conversation with Jen without either hearing Elvie >> here in GBC. You knew what I was going to say. um a professional learning community, common district assessment, um many of those because again that is part of building a solid foundation uh for student learning out outcomes and optimizing student achievement across our district. Um we have a lot of expansions that we have um expanded this year because we really are looking at preschool all the way through to our dual enrollment opportunities both with Cal State Sanino and again our meeting tomorrow with Preston um as well as our adult ed. a lot of programs to expand our learning, but also that comes with professional learning, professional development, and how we're expanding
058our professional learning communities and supporting our teachers, our staff, uh our support staff, um with making sure that those student learning outcomes continue to see growth in ELA, math, reclassification rates, and our college and career, uh indicators. Um this specific slide I wanted to share with you because a major initiative this year was around assessment and the development of assessment around GDC. Um and at this point our district progress as of about two to three hours ago. Um was 77% of the CDA's districtwide are ready for 2627. Um and that is huge because that is a lot of teacher time coming into GDC release days. We had some teachers choose GBC extra duty where they worked after school and we really provided options so that the teachers have an opportunity to come together with their
059grade level, their department, refine their GDC's and build their CDAS. We will continue that refinement next year. Um but again having all of the quarter 1, trimester 1 ready to go and and beyond. We have several of our quarter twos, trimester 3es, and there's a couple of departments that are done with the whole year. Um but overall if you think about um we've got CDAs for trimester 1 to three in grades two through five and we have um uh CDAs for reporters one two three four um at the grade levels of 6 through 12. So 77.27% of those completed. Um again I want to give a huge shout out to our instructional coaches, our teachers on special assignment. Um as you heard our our retiree Bobby Berto helped us quite a bit across science. Um
060Chris Mto with our math common district assessments and Steve Wallace with our English and I got to jump in on the history. Um it's you know former love of mine there teaching history. So little update there. Um goal two again around our MTSS and our positive school culture and how we really put the dollars and cents behind supporting that tiered intervention. Um, and really MTSS and I and I love how MTH gave an extra couple letters there with their multi-dimension multi-tered systems of support. Um, and how they're looking at the full picture of academics, of behavior, of attendance, chronic absenteeism, all of the supports across the board. We're um intervening and enriching for students. So, you can really see the dollars and cents there. We are excited that um we are going to be bringing
061a wellness center to NH next year. So, and that Um, in the last couple of years, we've had our we've had our rim high wellness center. We've expanded to Mountain High School with equity multiplier funding and now MTH will have their own wellness center. So, across secondary, we have comprehensive social emotional support happening um and community partnerships making that happen. So, a huge shout out as well to um uh NCT or mountain testing and training. All right. And that essentially breaks down what I just shared. So, thank you. more time. There we go. U so goal three is our engagement um and three actions there. Parent engagement workshops. We were excited to roll out our EL parent workshop this year. That was district one. Thank you to Rim High for hosting that one. Um that
062I'll show you in the next slide. Um kind of what came of that as we've been talking to you about district resources that came together from that one evening. Our DELAC parents asked us for an EL parent engagement night that really met the grade levels across the span so they could go to one place and and receive support for their elementary student, their middle school student, their high school student. Um we even had a parent from Adult Ed. Um and so bringing all those resources together. Um a shout out to uh Mr. Nagas at MTH who made some really awesome documents. You'll see in a moment. Um and there'll be a QR code that must be the theme of the night. 18 QR code and go straight to the Ren district website and there all
063those resources that he pulled together from that night are are currently housed. That next one, special needs support. Um, shout out to our special services uh director, Mr. Robinson, um, and all of our special services teachers, Jed teachers um, and support staff who worked together um, to create our our handbook. They not only wanted to create a handbook for parents, but they also looked at how could I support our staff with this. So, if you're a new special educator in our district, um how can I make sure that you have everything that you need around operating SACE, our platform um for our students with special services, housing our IEPs, um you know, the what to knows basically around um supporting both our students, well, not much as both students, families, community, and our staff. Um
064and then communication initiatives, really all the things that we do. We continue to be grateful for Jackie Benson, our community outreach specialist, continues to assist with all of our community. Um, so essentially that breaks down what I just shared. We've seen a lot of powerful outcomes. Um, we did see you you would have seen in your most recent um, uh, board update last week that the Kelvin survey for May went up. Um historically our Kelvin survey of May we dipped a little bit not not significantly maybe a couple percent um and our May survey went up um which has not been our longitudinal trend in the last five years. So which was really cool to see. Our Kelvin surveys had already gone up at the midyear report and they went up again at May. So
065again your uh update from last week you can see those percentage changes. This is a look real quick at the some of the resources not all of them. um that Mr. Nabas helped pull together. How do our parents use Aries? How do our parents use Google Classroom? How do they get into I Ready? Um and I I gave some of the English and Spanish versions of those and there um we're hoping to create flyers for back to school night with the QR code so that at every campus a parent could say, "Well, I get on Google Classroom. How do I get on the areas portal?" And it's going to take them straight um with a QR code to those resources. and a QR code. Sit down. >> And then go for again that you've heard
066about um we have our wellness center at MHS um social emotional professional development which u Mr. Montiel has been instrumental in building the youth mental health first aid training for our staff and for our teens. Um and then we're adding a third action to goal four for next year um which is around academic PD and instructional materials. Um we recognize since we had a CSI exit um that our CSI expenditures will be completed at the end of September. So we do have a little funding with carryover that we can take till September, but we wanted to make sure that there was a little bit um that would that would continue to support academic uh PD and instructional resources with the funding available in the equity. All right. Um, and again, we talked about equity multiplier
067and and that component graduation rate increase. Um, and you see our strategic priorities moving into 26 27. Um, we are looking at early and sustained literacy. Each of our elementary schools have created an early literacy plan and we're currently working with San Marino County Superintendent of Schools to pilot a potential branch um at BOE. More to come on that. Um but they are looking to provide resources, classroom kits, and even inspections for teachers involved. So, it's a really awesome opportunity and we have a meeting coming up um maybe tomorrow or next Tuesday. We're in talks of how that may adjust. Um but a really great opportunity and an emphasis around literacy. We're also exploring what the state has available with potential literacy coaches in the future. Some more to come on that. Um again, accelerating
068learning. We're also in uh our ongoing procedural math adoption. We have our IM1 2 and three resources on the way and our first training was May 14th. So, our teachers are ready to go. They actually were the ones that shared they wanted to start that training in May so that they were ready for the fall as opposed to waiting for a fall training. But they'll still have fall follow-up training to ensure that they're supported. Um, you've heard our GBC, our CDAs, and our PLC's. So, I'll move beyond that. But another component for instruction for next year will be a huge focus on instructional design. Um, and that intentionality behind how and what we want to see in the classroom. You know, as you go in, what you feel, what you see, what you hear is
069optimizing student learning. We'll continue to improve engagement with our MTSS supports, attendance, wellness, school connectedness um and that instructional design and a strong foundation. We continue to expand um our opportunities with CTE and dual enrollment. And then we're always looking for partnerships with our community to expand. So, we're grateful to have SBCCD um here today to share more about what they can offer. And I love that that goal that they would like to see that presence in every high school in our area um and really um open that door of what's possible for our students, right? Building that confidence, building that belief that they they have uh you know every student every day, every opportunity. All right, the final slide here is on the LEBG that is a learning recovery emergency block grant. That is
070something you'll see throughout the LCAP. Um and it's a requirement that if you want to use that funding um that it is identified in the LCAP within specific actions and associated topics. Um so last year you saw a few topics that were under LEBG but the actions that will be um potentially funded through LEBG this coming year um would be supporting our assessment uh AVID supports summer school high impact tutoring TOSA secondary counseling and CTE um on and those are all actions and you can see the numbers associated with those and then the unnumbered priority actions um continuing to support our itinerate counselor community outreach specialist extra duty time. We did a lot of release in GBC time. We want to be able to continue that. Um and then our mountain high CTE session. So
071looking at that, we do have to make sure that we prioritize those LREBG funds in the LCAP so that we can spend them. If we don't prioritize them in the LCAP, we have to bring the LSAP back for read. Um so we really took a look at the budget, the priorities, the educational partner feedback and wanted to be as inclusive as possible. um so that we could stretch those dollars and cents which um as of our most recent are between about 600 and 700,000 um but again we wait for their fin. >> So I have a question on the unconscion um what does that is that through an ingenuity or is that like on campus? >> Love that you asked that question. We just had a meeting about that earlier this week. Um >> is
072we we talked about them going over to RHS campus to do CTE. It's not highly successful so to speak. So just what is that? >> Yeah. So that is the graphic design course. Um we actually collaborated with between the MHS and REM high counselors and administrators earlier this week to identify even what periods would be more successful. They identified period six is the most successful for mountain students and on average they've had about six to eight students interested and I think that's what their load is looking for for next year. Um looking at Prop 28 and it's not quite CTE but just kind of similar alignment. We wanted to make sure that Mountain High students had access um uh the CTE course came from Wasp, right? We had students from our last WAS visit that
073said they wanted access to CTE and that was our first step in that direction. Um but also with Prop 28, we have an opportunity to co-und the arts and music sections to give students access to those courses as well. Um and those ones for Prop 28 are uh beginning painting and drawing which will be at period 6. Uh ceramics at a period one um technical stage and advanced stage after school at period 7. Um so a lot of opportunities that we're expanding where our mountain students are going over. They of course still have the CTE package. Um, but this is them in person taking part in Mr. Wilson's awesome graphic design course. Um, if you've seen your enrollment banners, you've been driving by campuses. We want to thank Mr. Wilson for helping us design those
074and encourage uh enrollment in our Google make sure our students got those and that is our public hearing. Any questions on the presentation? Question on the both the uh designated art classes as well as CTE. They're going to have when we say that they're going to have access. We've always talked about are these going to be like safe seats? Like they are guaranteed placement no matter what. >> It's almost like you were in the meeting. Um we literally just had those very conversations that they're saving two to three seats minimum um based on the interest that we saw in the data. Um but the graphic design class is a higher um of course interest. So that one is a little bit higher and again that one is um fun. >> Okay. >> Great question. All
075those meetings this week >> and I and I was not in any of >> I know you were just to clarify. Thank you. So I mean I made me know I'm not that and snaps. Okay, we know that's a lot of work. So we we really you and Jenny and your entire team. Thank you. So 1.8 call public hearing to order at 6:54 p.m. Need your motion. So >> Bill's the first. Second Jordan's the second. Any discussion? >> No, we do not have any public speakers. Nothing. Nothing. Crickets. Awesome. So call for vote. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Motion carries. What is your motion? Right. I know, I know, but I just want to make sure before we move on, there's no more speaker sheets because the next part is the Rosie. So,
076I just want to make sure that there's nothing otherwise I'd have to read that forum. Okay. So, with that 1B all public hearing to close at 6:55 p.m. I need a motion to close the hearing. >> Yes. To close the hearing. >> Yes. >> Second. >> Jordan's the second. Discussion is none. Calling for the vote. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. 2 uh >> what? >> Public hearing is closed because there weren't any anything. So 9.2 business services presentation of public hearing on the proposed 36.7 budget. Jimmy Hlin. Oh, thank you very much. And there is actually ED code um regarding the order of business that Jen and I have to work in in the next two regular board meetings. So the LCAP um hearing um must come before the
077budget hearing and the LCAP adoption must always be placed above the agenda in the uh uh in the budget before the budget adoption. So um this time of year um yeah it's it's the Jen and Jenny show. So we've been each in each other's lives a lot and um putting the finishing touches. So right now the the budget hearing um draft um for uh with our fund balances as well as the Lap is in draft form. So as we're gathering our data as we're putting the eyes on the dots and eyes and crossover team we could find um something that we need to add we can get new information. Just Friday I got some guidance from the county. I will have one tweak um on mine. if it's material, I'll report that to you be,
078you know, during the budget uh adoption um of that. But this is sometimes just fine-tuning um like we can get we can put a budget together and we can get new information the very next day. So, um, and there's a lot going on right now, um, in regards to, um, uh, the, uh, negotiations at the state level with the budget, which both impacts both my budget and Miss Bites, uh, Latap. So depending on what some of those numbers will end up being like you know how much per ADA will the learning recovery block grant you know how much will we know that equity multiplier that's actually certified in in April of each year. So we start with estimates it'll be it'll be um uh through the principal a portionment it would be it'll cert be
079certified after we um have next year's ADA and then so we get kind of tred up numbers all all year long. So when we have steady like kind of flat enrollment, flat ADA, we won't see a lot of fluctuations unless there's a per pupil increase um to to that. So you know, we're we dial that in, you know, really every day um of the school year, you know, just through regular budget housekeeping. So um there's a lot going on. So uh I'll just start off. Let's see. I turned the clicker on and off, so we'll see if I have any better luck. So let's let's um start this. So I'm presenting the the budget for the 2026 27 proposed budget and we we talk a lot about budgets um at our board meeting and with
080our enrollment and the driving factors behind each one. I didn't um and then uh and and so I'm glad that it makes it makes my job easier when we have so much open dialogue anyway because I know that you're very well versed and understand the data as well as I do. So real quickly the um you know there's budget oversight you do um >> because we fake it. No. Um I I I appreciate I appreciate it because it makes us be able to talk the same lingo um and and go through it together, but the budget oversight is by ED code AB1200. So, the county office of education gives us guidance and they they will review our our budget um to determine if it um it it complies on a technical sense, but it also
081is reasonable in the do in what we reported as revenue and um expenditures. They also um do not approve either Miss Whiteside's LCAP or my budget without each other's documents approved as well. So, if um if Jen has an approved LCAP, but I don't have an approved budget, neither one gets um uh approved and vice versa. So, that's why it's real important that we work together. So, we make sure all of our required elements um don't accidentally create the others documents to not get approved when we don't want that. So um and then from that they submit to the CDE of course on our um portion of the budget. I'll try this. I don't know if I did a remark. >> Say next. >> Okay. Just say next. Um the the budget of course I'm
082going to go quickly through some of these because I do have same information as I reported before. But there is three types of budget approval or a not budget approval. And um we prepared a budget that would um in our estimation would be approve would be um submitted as an approved budget. And next just a snapshot on the different reportings and what happens during the year. We are in June. So we are doing the budget adoption where the state is going to hopefully enact state budget on time. I don't expect them not to since um our our legislators salaries depend on it in California that they won't get paid if they don't adopt a budget on time. Um that's why we often see a lot of trailer bills though that change after they've enacted a
083budget because they want to get that done on time but then they they they change the uh budget afterwards. Um and then there's several different um uh reportings throughout the year. So next, okay, um how the budget is built, it's largely one of the first items that we use to build the budget is enrollment. So um understanding what our enrollment is, how our enrollment's impacted, um being able to monitor that enrollment. We talk about that a lot um in our district. So because once we have enrollment, we can gauge our revenue because it's based on the attendance that generated from that uh enrollment. It also helps us determine what kind of staffing we need. So we know we have u code that dictates certain staffing levels and different you know bargaining unit contracts that dictate
084staffing levels. So using both of those once we have enrollment figures really is a a lot of the um component of the budget is the LCF revenue and the um staffing. So with that we then we health and welfare you know goes up every year. We have things like step and followup. We have maybe new commitments that we've made. We have new obligations. we have funded or unfunded mandates that um we're obligated for. And then at the end of the day, we need to certify that we have a positive fund balance, you know, which fund balance is really the um you know, the like a savings account. And then some of those are committed and restricted like leftover title one money. It cannot go to the general fund. It's used for that purpose like a
085donation and some of the categorical restricted side of the budget. Next. Okay, this is in a nutshell. I think um Jen and I both had we didn't even talk about this, but we both as we were going over some of our numbers and our slides together, I said my focus was really trying to condense the information be uh this year because bud uh budget building and state process has not changed. So my presentations to you see seem to be very very similar um and the and the same things just with slightly different numbers were slightly different new components maybe a new law or two. So my focus was kind of get um down and dirty to just what we could talk about today and and um you know keep this presentation from being an hour.
086So, and I Yeah. Um, so just some key uh bullet points um is our total LCFF funding. You can see the $40.4 million that is derived from two components of cola which is 2.87 plus what the state is calling a super cola or an augmented cola um which is that makes the cola for next year 4.31. We're going to spend a lot of time um talking about that I believe on a on the next slide. Um but there was um an increase to the base funding which the state used the mechanism of a colola to increase right and it's not applied to everything and for the first time in my history there's since the revenue limit days because we did have it when it was revenue before um LCFF there is mandates tied to an
087unrestricted funding source um on attendance besides compulsory laws and things like that. Okay. When we talk about attendance and wanting to increase our student attendance scale and conquer some of that um uh absenteeism at a on a base rate dollar only, there's a slide that gives us more detail um too is what is our per student per day number. Okay? Because as the if the students come and we can earn that revenue, that's more services we can give the students. It's not revenue for us. in services um with lunches, you know, health needs um and of course learning. So knowing like what could we recoup when we try to tap into some of the new laws with attendance recovery, I think we've made a lot of fun progress too with some creative ideas for Saturday
088school this year. Um and so you know keeping that momentum going and that will change too because that's that's based on projected ADA and you know the where the state budget is right now and also uh LCF per student amount that has the 4.31% pool limit. If that number changes by the time the state enacts its budget these numbers will all change. Um and then we have you know the district share of special ed contributions which we'll talk about a little bit later too. Um which it appears if the um the state continues on its path we will have some uh large significant relief to our district our base um contribution um in that area. So, um that is a focus that's been in the state um uh budget proposals and it seems like it's
089going to maintain um in that area. Okay. Um and and just some I won't read every line there, but um you know I want just we planning conservatively right now until with some of the new money like learning recovery block grant. They're starting to post um estimates of what it might be per ADA. Um Jen and I did meet and we looked at that like well, you know, we want to budget all of it. We want to budget 90% of it. It's, you know, how does that look like? Um and so we're trying to be as conservative as po as possible in this budget till we get real answers. Next. Okay. All right. Okay, the funded cola you can see a year-over-year from through the projected um 203031 cola. Of course, these change every year
090as an economic there's about eight data points that drives the state's poll up and as those change our our um pupa percentages will change but because we need to file three-year budget or the budget year which will be 2627 and two subsequent years we have to know what the state's projected to be in the out years with our county we like to do a five-year budgetpecially 20 years of declining enrollment and especially in um uh when we suspend having a five-year outlook, although the mandate is only three, we have traditionally always focused on a five-year budget plan. So we that fourth year becomes our third year very quickly if we're not paying attention to it. And so one of the things um that uh there's just some state but budget watch items and we have
091the proposition ID settle up with. So the um you know we're we're concerned with what where that number will land. Okay. And that is, as we talked about before, the governor's um maneuver to withhold um uh constitutionally required funding for schools. Um and you know, this is I think the second or third year that they have contested that and um it's really underropriated what Prop 98s and the district share of the state budget would be. sell. So, how have you the budget amount 5.6 3.9 or nothing? >> Well, because it >> Yeah, it because it's not a portion, it's not part of LCF. So, this is money that is not in our budget. No, regardless of where that number lands, whether it's zero or 10, that that budget, that dollar amount is not in our
092budget because we don't know how that's going to come to us. Really, it can come to a variety of ways. And the state has multiple years that they can decide when to pay it back. Um, and I've said this before without getting too much into the weeds of um of the budget. when the when the governor wants to get credit for this shortfall in eliminating the deferrals. Okay, that does not that is a um a credit that the state can use to um cancel a debt is that is owed to us. Okay, actually owed to us. But for us, it's not spending power because it's cash basis. we budget, you know, it's just their payments to us being delayed. It's not more payments, but upon, you know, we don't get to account for our um
093books the way that the state does, you know, with um so it's, you know, there's some manipulations there that are unfair, I think, to to school districts. There's also some um uh and also to not to get in too much into the weeds tonight, but there are some state preschool propositions to move state preschool into Prop 98 and try to off you know, you know, rebench Prop 98. But right now, as as proposed, the rebenching is only current active seats, not total unlotted seats. So it would be having the vacant seats right now and any additional growth take um come from TK through 12 dollars. So there are some things that we need to watch and um you're probably because you're members you're probably getting advocacy emails from CSBA as school services put one out
094um today. I you know they talked about it in my meeting last Friday. they u Patty Herrera and and John Gray were both at the county office Sanino at our meeting. So, you know, they kind of drilled down into some of these uh maneuvers that the that the state is doing. So, um but with that, maybe I'll ask you but I don't have done yet. No, just um you're talking about believers and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I I we're mandated as districts new requirement is having a a longer extent leave for um pregnancy, but it's not being funded. But >> I have a slide for that unless I condensed it. Yes, I think I have a slide for that. I wouldn't say anything further on that I said just in terms
095of >> you know I will talk about it now because I might have in my hope to um condense I might have lost it um so um it is in here so I just when I get to >> let's see >> yes I will I will get to that >> yeah that's fine it's a it's it's a maneuver >> to take it full >> yeah so it's just sneaky. >> Yes. >> Talk about >> Okay. Right. Um and then if if the you know we talk about that additional money that schools are owed um and not getting some estimates are that that would equate to $654 per ADA. That's a lot of money if it was divided equally ADA at the at the state level. Okay. And just breaking down the attendance rate per day
096a little bit more. Um if if since every student in the graphic group and and under the UPD is funded a little bit differently with supplemental concentration grants the base amount um you know every student's the base amount but um if everyone met and they wouldn't um every component of LCFF that would be 80 you know an average LCFF per student or 88 that'd be $83.13 But really when we look at what our budget break even would be on a per day, we want to use the base because since, you know, we don't necessarily know, you know, what student is in that count. But if we just had a 1% increase in our total ADA, that's about $400,000 in today's, you know, in in this LCFF with this pull up. Um and so um you
097know that that's a direct uh increase of funding to to the general fund. So it's powerful when you think about what just 1%. >> Next. Okay. We did talk about um enrollment and why it matters. I think I've already talked about this slide pretty much, but um one of the things that we want to talk about is where we are right now. We completed 10 full attendance months of school and you can see that black line with that arrow kind of we are here. Um and how we've had very flat in enrollment this year. You know we we're not seeing those declines. You can see the last several years are clustered into into one one area. Um and so that's you we'll see if our the enrollment projections and trends. will have a speaker at
098one of the board meetings and talk about every site's enrollment and our our um historical and our future enrollment planning. um our our friends at schools schoolworks did um track kinder or birth rates to the cohorts of what they are and to look at um and that helps us to project how much TK we could get and starting in 2728 even their numbers are saying we're probably going to have a little dip in our enrollment um across the the TK numbers as the kids moving into our system doesn't mean we might not grow from families moving up here but just looking at it from a birth rate um you know but it's also uh small tiny decreases you know so yes over time but um you know still relatively flat at the moment so and
099one of the things that just I had a slide and that be convincing that I just took it out so that since 2004 2005 student enrollment enrollment in the state of California has declined by a total 9.3%. That that ADA and enrollment decline is also what generated though the opportunity for one-time monies at the state because the state is paying less ADA but has the same Prop 98 obligation. So they've been able to fund that really by not um you know finding other revenue sources for that just in the savings of what they're paying school districts on um ADA. >> Okay. Okay. And just corresponding the next two slides corresponding where we are at total ADA. We can go forward one more and our stride to 95. So our districtwide if you combine all programs
100you looking at SDC to um to uh mountain to the high school to all grade levels. We're running right now um a ADA rate districtwide of 91.51, but as of month 10, this was a cumulatively, it's cumulative ADA. Maybe I'm not a snapshot. Oh, I had perfect enrollment yesterday, you know. So um and you can see where um you know we where we have um some you know strengths happening and and and areas that we need to um possibly look at and I know we work on that committees and and one of the parts and you know um a budget is not necessarily a forecast it's just um it's a projection at one point in time the nappy budget can have many different factors than we have now. We we we do what we you
101know we build the budget in the LCAP with information that we have and and knowing that that can change. So multi-year per um projections assumptions have to have certain elements in it. We have to and this is part of our package that gets um submitted to the county and and they will review it for reasonleness and and some of the net numbers they you know are are set. You know, we look at enrollment in ADA and we look at the colas. We look at the different components of restricted revenue. What might be a restricted revenue that we have now that expires? So, they'll look to see and make sure I don't rebudget those those numbers. An example of that is the educator effectiveness grant. You know, so there's things that, you know, we have to
102go through and, you know, components of CSI, you know, there'll be carryover, but that's not continuing. So um that's when of course Jen and I um worked a lot closely on that and then with staffing I mean in the uh in a different spa you know space Jen and I have been you know tied to the hip looking at staffing and enrollment and and class sizes um and then of course with with benefits and we all know what happened with healthcare this year um you know over a 12% increase in in um out and shield Kaiser and with an expected another double digit increase to Kaiser next year. So um you know that's getting very very um expensive. So one more this is just real quick um you can see our total LCFF funding and
103how we see growth in that and that's related to the increases at the state level based on the colas. So there's going to be in increases on the natural just based on flat enrollment flat ADA but higher holders and then um you know and our property tax revenue. Only thing I'd like to add about this um is we're when the state does do deferrals, we don't have um a lot of risk there to need to borrow money because our tax goals were um you know are about $17 million of the whole 40, you know. So, we h we have cash that, you know, in the early 2000s, um there's been there was times where districts had to borrow money because the state was keeping, you know, a lot of our money and paying it in
104future years. So, we don't have a cash, you know, risk. Maybe depending on what the state does over the next several years, but that's not something we're monitoring closely. I do look at it once a month, but knowing, you know, where we're where we're at, it's not something I'm necessarily on. Next one. Okay. This is um where I I'll talk about the 1.4. And if you look at our components of of total LCF revenue starting with the current year 2526 and what's made up of uh property taxes and total funding and you can see you know we've had ADA increases our increase over the prior year in funding is the 1.4. Okay we did have a 2.3 cola but we had other factors that increase that revenue. The exact opposite can happen depending on the
105year. you can see, you know, be because of the augmented, you know, colola and, you know, ADA rates that are are steady. Um, we know maybe not as high as we want study, you know, we have the 4.31% colola, but a year-over-year larger dollar amount. Um and and as our enrollment starts to trickle down, okay, starting with that 2728, the amount year-over-year change becomes again less than which we would always see in defining enrollment. Okay, year-over-year change is less than the cola, okay, in all the future years. Okay, that's because of seeing that slight change in enrollment. But one of the things we needed to do was say of the increase in LCF, how much is it related to that 1.44% cola? And then what do we do? Because my mole projections could be presented
106um way too generous. Okay. And and bloated if that if it's it's if it's included now, but it doesn't materialize. All right. And so um on a different area of the budget, you know, I've restricted each year's additional funding and our fund balance to not not have a more positive outlook that we would see so we would know, you know, if that goes away. And that's one thing that when the county office reviews our data, we might have an LCF number that has that 1.4 for it for in it, but they'll see it as an assignment in our reserves that we've account have a contingency if that doesn't the estimated cost. We just looked at five year history of what the paid pregnancy leave and how many we you know we have had a lot
107of babies born. So, um, and so, uh, if it, you know, it based on the last 5 years, the cost to to pay that leave would be anywhere from 104 to $175 on today's dollars. Okay. But there's also a lot that So, so right there, that would that's part of that growth that we have to uh kind of we have to set aside. Um and there's discussions on what will that program look like and will it turn uh advocacy out there that have it the money not go to the districts or to have it be available where we pay for the leave because there's very very little risk that that law won't get passed. So I think it's going to be here however the state pays for it. Um, but it would be is it
108a reimburseable that it's not part of this bola, but it's as we pay it, we submit it to the state because you're going to have winners and losers right now. we can have no um pregnancy leaves and the district we have, you know, have this money or there's districts that are calculating it like I did that are saying this isn't enough for us based on our uh employee makeup and then I'm saying well I can see a new Gatsby regulation but I'm going to have to have an actuarial study like every two years done and we already have two that we have to do now. So, you know, so you know, we're we're looking at that and so to have the mandates be part of this when the governor also said we'll use this money
109to pay for things that are that are increasing like retirement, um, health and welfare, gas, inflation. Um but then it's not identifying it's just putting it in for the the whole pot if so I I have a question on the pregnancy when we talk about do we put it aside do we create another a new like stricted category and it cannot be touched and not be negotiation set so that we can make sure that we out. >> Yeah. I mean, we definitely should we need to at least be conservative and put a couple hundred thousand aside for that >> restricted. Yes. >> Or an assigned balance in the fund balance, however we wanted to to see it on a piece of paper. So, >> just just so that we recognize that's kind of >> Yeah.
110Except Yeah. Next. This >> Yeah. Um, and this is just a slide. You have the detailed I'm not going to put a You have the detailed book by your projections every year with all my columns on it. I made a copy for you. And this is a cut and paste from the last page that we've looked at before. And it's really, you saw the other um graph with the increase in the LCFF revenue, right? But when you compare it to our increase in costs year-over-year, you can see that it's getting closer. It is those both materialized and our ADA enrollment stage, but you can also see that every year that we are spending more than we're bringing in even, but it is getting smaller with those increased dollars. So, and then our um we are
111submitting a budget um and if there's any changes to this um that I'll any material change I'll alert you to before but you know we are adopting the budget but we are submitting a positive um because we have a positive ending fund balance it's small in the end of our third subsequent year but that's also assuming everything as we know it right now with staffing that we know it right now with costs it does not have the potentially added um special ed funds that would be you know may that would improve this. it does not have the discretionary block grant that would be you know sweeping the majority is at to address them spending. Um and so um you know there's things that the you know we'll do once we have an budget and the
112county gives us guidance. We can include some of those things but we would have to have a contingency of of what we committed those things for um you know embedded in our budget too. So it it's it it come out hunting um dollar for dollar right now. >> Does this uh but you have um it's LCF but does it included our federal like title one or is that separated out? >> Yeah, that is how that keep on doing that. >> No, it's because you you know the hot topics out there. Thank you. Yeah, this is just where you can see this is um when you look at the stacks form or you look at my Excel spreadsheet, you see this all kind of jumbled in at the bottom, but this is just a little bit
113highlight. Um our in fund balance that we're projecting is, you know, 10,91,000 and change. We have all of our different categories of assignment and committed funds, things that we can't spend and some we can. Um, you know, we have things that have been in our assignments for years. Our, you know, our brand feed funds, our forest reserve and deferred maintenance funds. Um, you know, we have, you know, MA that we we we obtain revenue for, but we offset um our nurse with with those that come in. And so, we can we can look at that um that you're going to see when we close the books. Really, our reserves right now, they're an estimate until we close the reserves. I mean, close the books. So in September the unaudited actuals these numbers will be be
114you know 100% you know done because we close the books we have new numbers um and you'll see the technology reserve when we close the books because we haven't spent that money yet but we're spending it now um with our with our laptop refresh. So so that'll be exciting too. You can also see though and um and it's in a graph form on the other page but each year our how our deficit is spending and that is though with an increased bullet. Okay. And so but um even though the numbers are still large we have made some progress there. So um you know we have we have so so so that's exciting. Um we have estimated expenditures. Um, as we tweak things, you'll see those numbers change between my books and Jen's books. Um, and
115then I just shared, you know, final reserves will be calculated um, at the at when we close the books. And then you know we do need to always be aware of our deficit spending and structural deficits in that m man m man m man m man m man m man m man m man m man m man mattered um and um keep working on unrestricted budget reductions on the unrestricted side of the budget. >> Right. Next page. Next. Okay. We have the learning recovery block grant that we that um Jen has talked very much about. Um, we've included a um, very conservative number. We have the discret discretionary block grant. One of the reasons why I didn't include that is because they just think they know what account number it's going to be. They think
116it's going to be the same one, but they're not sure. Um, so I'm like, well, I don't want to put it in a number kind of on the technical side of the budget software until I know where it's going to be. and the per student amount has just been all over the place on where it might um special ed they uh like I said we have not included that um and then uh we feel like that's going to be though pretty safe both the learning recovery block grants some type of discretionary um and these four tiles are very uh safely um you know we can count on next year maybe not the per amount um but that they'll be funded in some type of capacity. One of the things with the new kit funds, kitchen
117infrastructure and training, there is a mandate in these funds. So it's kitchen infrastructure and training. If you want to type into the funds, you have to operate a food. So you know that is a little bit um you know there's ways to do it. Um depending on how you do it, you get you you have to be in compliance with the health department or not. That goal hasn't changed in 10 years, but depending on how we offer food pantry and determine the level of involvement from the health department. Um that's why we always be a little cautious with when we um and then that's just pretty much touched on that one and next slide. wanted to just share with you with that special ed um and um the the reason why the the state I
118and I I think it's a very um commendable thing. I I've said things that the you know not totally negative with our state um and how they budget but um ELO universal meals those have been very positive um and uh well worked now that we have ELO going it's been success successful the funding is appreciated the commitment to universal meals is another one um and then to have a commitment now in the special ed world at the state because you can see that um you know Our averages are the same. You know, it's very similar across what's happening at RIM. You hear up and down the state. So these numbers would translate with almost any other district. Okay? That you know when when the federal share of special ed is only 7%. Okay? And I
119think their goal is to get that to 40, but that was a 20 year ago. So um you know, and the state share and then the district share. So, um the the budget will greatly improve if it's we're it's looking like it's going to be maybe $300 um dollars per um special ed student. So, that you know that went to 88. So that would be very beautiful. So and next, okay, this is one we want to talk about because it does have um um a um an impact that you you saw a lot of information that you probably weren't um used to before with learning recovery block grant. And so um and that is because using those f those funds and any future uh discretionary up until we you know some conversations can be um
120uh h have had is the impact to the reduction in our title one. So we've had you can see here a 24 25 26 and 26 27 reduction each year to the district's title one. we were able to offset that that reduction to um by use of a learning recovery block grant this year. Okay. Going into next year, you can see 919,000 districtwide, 426,000. Um that was I mean we we've talked I mean I put this in updates before. So, you know, co-unding as much as we can for as long as we can. Although some of those extra initiatives, um, you know, we might not know yeartoear until those restricted discretionary dollars or or a type of program like learning recovery block grant is funded. Um, and then the corresponding title one, title two and
121title four have also been reduced. And for one of the reasons is you can see the um census data on the poverty the community poverty rate. This is not our poverty rate in our school district. And so you can see how that's gone down. Also there's been a higher number of um districts that have been able to participate in title one but the same federal dollars. Okay. I we reached out to the CDE and reached out to the census and um you know talking to Dr. Seano yesterday we um we had actually s a lovely person that we connected with um uh yesterday and I had about a half hour phone call. Um they uh you know we I I gave them the information from the state. We they were a small community liaison in
122the census department in DC. Okay. um and uh we we connected and an interesting little story. I don't want to go too long because I'm already way too long than uh than I expected, but her colleague in DC grew up here. So, um you know, by the time we connected, this person was like, "Oh my gosh, my colleague next to me was telling me all about your mouth." So I started diving into your data and you know she was just about the first 10 minutes was stories her colleague has shared and and you so it's like you felt like we had a personal connection to that. Um unfortunately she did go through a lot of um the the data and um you know she couldn't find any glaring errors but she said some things we
123could do. I mean she's going to follow up with an email to Dr. Savviano and I with some areas that we could look at. You know, we're um with our district, the census gets the community poverty rate by two different mostly two different data points. the American Community Survey, okay, and a 1040 tax returns that corresponds with um how this when you're doing those census surveys, the if you're, you know, full-time resident here, part-time resident, you know, and that percentage um and that they they share that they, you know, capture that full-time resident um uh you know, pretty accurately to not have someone who is you know, a comes up, you know, a handful of times in a year with a $5 million, you know, land. So, um, so because we were saying, could it
124be all the Airbnbs? Could it be, you know, a segment that's very wealthy that homeowners but not necessarily live here? And, um, that doesn't seem to be the problem and less depending on how people are answering those questions. So, if one of those people who answered the question said, "Yes, I live here full-time." and whether that's accurate or not. Okay. And also with the commu uh American community survey, it tends to be um the middle and upper class who complete those surveys and to reach those lower income households who tend to respond to surveys less than other groups do. Okay. So um so looking at that for next year and we're also going to connect with um a liaison to help with some of that outreach in some of the areas that might be impacting
125our our community data because um she actually you know at least through the phone you know felt you know had a heart like I could see where this is hurting you. Okay, our county is also so big. Okay, the number of districts in our county is also buring us and the number of lowincome proportionate to the community size in the urban areas like Sanino City is also hurting because their points are weighted higher than our points. So if if the community proportionality is I'm not going to get too much into this then that can hurt business their their their um families would be weighted higher than so in this rate. >> Something else that was brought up to me um was the population density on our mountain in terms of where our less affluent families
126live. Like since this was being done during CO Yeah. >> And so um the folks who are going around and knocking on doors, it's a lot harder in our mountain further distance to travel from house to house to house as opposed to in an apartment building and the like. So um >> but this these do get updated with those those >> but again with the ACS it's it's uh they do a lot of extrapolating is what was shared with me. So, and our community isn't well designed to be able to get hard data. So, where there is >> to the top of where my streets that we deliver to during co and the like. So, there's probably a lot of filling in the blanks with data that might have happened that have hurt our our
127story. But you can even just see from 2024 to now which 2024 data you know was some of that postco. So um >> with the ACS they're not going through and doing doortodoor thing. So that again since responding to every 10 years they go through and do more census and again it's do that. We wanted to spend a little bit on the why the title one and um kind of get into that. I was really fortunate that the day before I didn't have to type this up in an update. We could talk about it tonight is uh so we we'll see when we get that followup email. Um, another thing, you know, we can do, I did this yesterday, although I might need maybe lend to check our district maps on the census to make
128sure they didn't make a mistake in what census is showing our maps are visually. It's it would go like, yep, that looks like it, you know, but um, and we don't have a lot of major streets that it would matter one side of the street or the other, you know. So, but that's, you know, there's going to be some tips and tricks to to start maybe paying attention to that data that comes out. We see it. It's kind of one of those lose like kind of a loser in it. Again, how it works out. Next two slides, I'm not going to really go read these. We've talked about them kind of throughout this with, you know, the Prop 98, the um, you know, what's going to happen at the state. There's just, you know, some
129risk and watch items. Um and I I won't go through them. I think everybody knows about where they are. And next slide is just kind of you know what we do next. Um you know we'll be submitting and Jen and I both have agenda items about our our LCAP and budget. We'll close the books. We'll revise um as and the state you know their enacted budget. We'll make adjustments. You have any questions? Thank you Jenny. Thank you so much. >> So with that 92A all public hearing to order. I need a motion. >> So move the first second the second discussion. No speaker forms on this weird correction. All right. So with that we call this to order at 7:44. No speaker forms for the vote to open at 7:44. Oh yeah I >> voting
130I thank you. >> Any opposed? Motion carries 10.2 beat call public hearing to close. So >> Jordan discussion if none is you are right now at 7:44. So we are going to close this hearing at 7:44. All in favor? I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. >> Jordan, you too. Okay, moving forward. We're now at 10 moved past 10.1 board members reports. I'll just go first. I'm going to go really quick because I know it's late. Um, I want to thank all of our community organizations across the mountain. Um, every from fire station to robo boat, all the Rotaries, uh, women's club, Sopimus, and, um, grand scholarship council. Uh, over $153,000, uh, was given out at senior scholarship night at Re High School on May 19th. So, Next, we have a lot of events, closing activities,
131and great carnivals. We have Mountain High School graduation through 10 at It's 3:00. >> Exactly. >> 3 o'clock. And then we have Brim High School virtual academy on Thursday, June 11. Uh 5:00. Gates open at 3:30. If you're on Highway 18, please during that time you're going to have some fun there trying to go through across 18. So I would avoid it during that afternoon. And I'm really excited for every four retirees. I want to thank them again for all of their service. I know they've gone, but just and there's some that that all of my kids have had and I'm going to miss their faces. so personally makes me sad some of them to blast one of them. She's been an amazing person for my kids as a counselor. So, um excited to close
132out the year. So, that's it. Thank you. Next, Bill. >> Just want to thank everyone, especially our administrators and all the work you're doing as you conclude the year and you know, your work's never done. So, but but thank you. And as you say goodbye to students, there's always a little bit of emotion that goes along with that. So, and I join um our president in appreciating our retirees really is sad to see some some leaving, but we celebrate good. So, you're ready for next year. >> Looking forward to graduation. >> I'm gonna be a little bit more keep it short. >> Keep it eight. Come on, chicky mama. Just in case. So I I appreciate appreciation as well. There a couple things that I do want to mention in addition and again as part
133of the retirees I worked alongside a lot of these folks who's had them. So I won't continue on there but they um I want to express um appreciation to um um um to um Mr. Kitty and to Mrs. Marshall. the um last week my daughter did finally get a chance to go up come up on the mountain and um fly the Mars helicopter to win. I want to apologize to Mrs. Marshall and to Mr. Keiny. It was a lot of on again off again on again off again. I think we went through three or four different days and finally I inked it on Memorial Day on Monday the day they had off. The next day was Tuesday a snow day and then on Wednesday my daughter and Jeremy came. So Mina, Jeremy were welcomed. It
134was a beautiful day. But I don't even know what kind of chaos we put them through. So they really they really pulled it together. Thank you. Even when you're off supposed to be off off, it didn't happen that way. Um so at the high school, um the sister, Mrs. Nicholas, really did a phenomenal job of making sure the PAC was available. Um the students were engaged. I love that Mrs. Scopen also because it was all very thrown together at that point. Mrs. Filton was gathering teachers, you know, you know, to be able to read their students. And there were some students that were a part of the um special ed program, two girls in particular that were so incredibly knowledgeable and ended up picking up Helina for the whole time during passing period between third
135and fourth period. And constantly, I mean, the reason why Paulina came, let me back up. She works on Skyfall, which is the Mars helicopter program that 2028 is going to be sending up um drones to go to Mars. So um she's one of the project leaders for her company, Aero Environment, which is partnering with JDL, with NASA to be able to send these Mars helicopters up. So she's one of the team leaders with their own aero environment. She brought up the twin to the helicopter that is currently on Mars. um was able to present and actually fly this million-dollar piece of equipment at RIM and then went over to Hawkman and um got to pass along some of the RI was wonderful. Hoffman these elementary kids were so incredibly knowledgeable and got our understanding partner
136came out Jeremy um and they they worked together. He's our mentor at um company. He was one of the two people at a environment who went to the Smithsonian when Ingenuity was was um was put into the Smithsonian. So there were four people, two from JPL, two from their environment. Jeremy was one of the two people who was basically honored at the Smithsonian. So he was pretty highowered individual who was blown away by our student students. He's done several of these presentations and um he said the the questions they got from students was so extraordinary in terms of knowledgeable and and and and really interested in the program. So um Hoffman showed really really well in terms of having that question and answering. One of the things that both Colleen and Jeremy were really surprised
137and blown away by too is when the kids wed in, they immediately went into rows and they created an aisle sitting on the ground in the multi-purpose room without any guidance. They just naturally did that. So, Mrs. Marshall gave you a thank you note that she and the kids made. I don't know if it can be seen on video, but it's very apparent the aisle that was created and that were made. And then they stayed in that formation. Whenever you know kids started getting excited, there was some like shushing that was going on. They were immediately pulled themselves together. The teachers were majorly engaged and it was just so it was just beautiful. It was a fantastic day and um the hopping kids showed really well. The high school students did as well. It was
138not as much of an interactive program at the high school as an EAC, but um it was great. It was phenomenal. Um, so thank you everybody who made that out. Um, additionally I wanted to mention briefly there was a write up that we received this morning and my computer burned out regarding the Haftra seal program. So um, Jessica Maza sent this out for Haftra as the nonprofit that applies seal to all of the elementary schools. Um, the total students that were screened at the beginning of the school year in our small school district was 894 students. dental screenings, all three. There were 51 emergency referrals that came out of those screenings and 149 non-emergency referrals with those referrals understand that the students provide a paperwork to take back to their families to show how they
139can get these services for free. Um um additionally there was 344 students who were referred to or for our orthodontia. I don't think that was a free referral me. So just making a little disclosure and then over the course of the next several months there were 434 sealants that were completed on students for free. All all of this for free. So um it was amazing the the cash value of those sealants was $30,380. Again these services were all provided to our elementary students by volunteers. Um it was phenomenal to volunteer on those days and um just wanted to make sure that we gave a shout out to Haftra and the volunteer dental hygienist and dentist who made this possible. So thank you. Good stuff. She's gonna name change. Okay. Next we have 10.3 superintendent Dr.
140also the >> just highlight uh one of our actions has been building you know trusting community relationships that's been a board goals we've done a lot of work on that I just want to highlight for the third year in a row the district office partnered with Rotary to recognize staff members at the mountain community recognition event and I want to thank MJ for hosting that event did terrific job and it was an outstanding event at Thousand Pines and it was last Thursday night. District honores brought family members at W quite the crew. Okay. And uh they spoke about their contributions to the district as they were honored. Uh the poly staff members were honored. Um Cindy Parker from LE, Goldsbury was CNS. Um, and Bane from RBA, Carl, Carl Man, 30 years of service uh
141at RMP PH, Kaylee Bonia, ed services, Scott Whiteside, it's not a familiar name, Mountain High School, Kathy Dubois at Grim High School, Amanda Atberg from ELO, and Stephanie Clemens from BOE. Additionally, the San Bernardino Fire Department honored Grim High School CTE teacher Brian Lightner uh for his work in successfully preparing students for as first responders for employment. Several have been employed through uh from that program. All honories were provided with certificates from Senator Chill uh and supervisor Don Rose's office. Uh and it was really just a truly outstanding event. So, I want to thank it's the first time we've been able to attend. Uh I've been able to attend because it's was scheduled on board meetings the last two years. Um I just want to also remind us as we conclude the 2526 school year,
142want to thank our board of education, our certificate staff, classified staff, and our administrative team and all of our educational partners. It's been really a phenomenal year. and we've made a lot of progress, successful progress towards our our action our strategic actions and goals. We look forward to the 25 26 27th school year and our future work together. Lastly, let's finish this week and celebrating our our rib high school MHS and adult education graduating class 2026. This concludes my >> Thank you, Dr. Siliano. 11.0 discussion information items 11.1 legislative and advocacy report. We already discussed quite a bit of it on the budget. Um I just want to remind everybody out there in TV land that the governor's manipulation of Prop 98 even though originally proposed a 5.6 6 billion hold back uh in January.
143It's now been reduced to a $3.9 billion hold back of money that is due to schools. Um this is unconstitutional and I just want to say that um California School Board Association AXO which is administrator superintendent um CTA, California Teachers Association um everybody is opposed to this. So hoping and we do we did get word that the state senate opposes this maneuver. Um we'll see how this goes in the negotiations in the next month when the budget needs to be approved. Um the other thing that is concerning is even though we do have what's called the super 2.87% 87% of that is statuto that augmentation part of the super polar that Jimmy talked about that is the the where the pregnancy leave right now where the governor is saying you guys we we'll pay for
144the pregnancy leave and I'm going to support this even though I voted it down the years previously we can pay this in in that part of the cup and that's to me disingenuous if you're going to support a bill funded properly and don't take money out of Prop 98 in education to fund something. I have no problems with the pregnancy leave. It is not the bill. It is the action to fund it that is problematic. The other thing is I'm really excited like Jenny is and I'm sure everybody else is the increase to special education hoping that maybe the federal government will also step up and increase that. Um I I understand from the conversation coast to coast with Congressman Royalty that um there is kind of a receptive nature from Congress to increase Michelin.
145So maybe we'll have a really stellar year next year. We'll see. And there is money for all of the different there's increases in all the pots of money, you know, elo discretionary block, all of that. So that is great. So, but because of the uncertainties with the holdback and other pieces of this budget, we're not going to know and and the the process for the budget, the negotiation process that we are in right now. We're we're not going to know where this budget lands until it's approved because there is always last minute dealings between assembly Senate and the governor's office. So just want to caution everybody. I love Jenny that you are as always conservative so that we don't overspend. So I appreciate the fact that really taking a conservative approach till we know for
146sure in June the later this month what where we're going to plant and then we can adjust adjust. So I appreciate that. Um I do the the CSVA we had voted um to in support of AB2225, AB2514, AB2149 and AB2202 that is what CSBA is calling SOS for student achievement uh legislative packet. We have voted in support of that packet. CSBA is gathering letters and resolutions to submit to the Senate Education Committee chair, Senator Sasha Renee Perez. The letter that I gave to you of our copy um is the format and their letter recommendation. So, this comes from CSPA. I just added our information. Um Jordan is going to they want a digital or electronic signature. So he'll he'll send it out to all of us that their letters that just put in uh at
147the bottom board president signature I feel like collectively we do so much advocacy together that we should all sign this together. I think it's more impactful. So um tomorrow if you could watch out for this so that we can get it done tomorrow. there is a deadline for them to collect the resolutions and letters of support the CSBA so that they can get it to the chair so that it's in front of her when they have this discussion. Okay. So, if you guys could just look at that. Anything else for you guys right now? We'll do a bill update later after the um the bills switch houses and we'll we'll do an update after the the second uh house has conversation. I'll just note that California primary happened and it looks like we likely know
148that the people moving forward for state superintendent and superintendent. So if no uh both will go up on a runoff in November. So there you go. Okay. So anything else? Just making sure. No. Okay.

That sounds like a race car. Fiscal impact $244,677.93 budget source measure eight months. I need a motion. >> So move. >> Jordan is the first second. Second Jordan is the second discussion. >> This part of our grant work that we're going to do. >> Yeah. So that's the net um that that's the net cost of the district um where it is a reimburseable grant. So we'll be you know we'll pay for the whole we'll pay the breage but take up 12 months um and then
152the uh uh the grant will will pay us back. So um and that's the net cost >> and then is the 248. >> Yes. Yes. And then there could be some extras with the um the installation of the charging stations. And that was a total that we had at the couple board meetings ago that it could be a range of 200 Michigan >> and we're still confident that these buses will work. >> It's a good test for >> it's a test. It's to find out. And the best part is in talking to people at CSVA and told them that about the mini buses that that we potentially could be purchasing and that we were going to not drive them up and down the hill, but go on our district roads and we would get feedback
153on how they work because that is the kind of feedback that they need. because at this time there's not been really some teeth to move forward with revising the EV bus mandate at all. But as we go forward to like 2028 2029, that's when there's going to push because that 2035 date is going is is right there in your face. And if we can give provable data that of how they're working and the challenges if we are that that helps in that >> and also too we would have you know the the data that we're that would be we we're going to collect is in our in our distance count like ours um who are small but there's also counties that are big that have the same the same problems. So uh the impact to
154how long the charges last because of you know the the costs the total costs that the states using is opt charging. So if if there's circumstances that we have to to charge them at different times of the day just to make it operational that'll be an add how do they do the chains how how are they doing on the roads and um >> and Jenny are these vans that are going to in order for to maintain the warranty of them do you require them to come out and put chins on them? Well, that's a very vague um but the answer to that question, we really can't get a definitive answer. >> Yeah, I just think the other thing to keep in mind if these buses prove to be successful, we have an aging fleet and
155they would replace those buses. Um, and that would based on the data that we saw >> and they're cost considerably less than a year to go ahead and actually replace those buses as it is. So, it's a it's a risk, but it is a minimum wiz. >> I do not have that. I'd have to go to piggyback and compare market value without a contract. I do not have that. We just got these prices at this amount because of that piggy back. And so that was part of the grant package. I mean they supply that the um you know when the grand writers that was part of the whole item on how we got per unit so I did not >> I was pleased with that. It's really great. >> Yeah. >> So that's positive people
156real excited about the idea here. And ju just double checking with these buses. Many buses are going to be equipped with whatever kind of additional equipment we need to be able to >> we have multiple um sales orders go through because it's like you know different items that you know >> any other discussion if none for the vote.

158how will we do utilize the information from the study? >> We've done a lot of our work at this I don't want to take a >> well it's it's YouTube. So at the um bargaining table with CSEA we did a lot of work this year on revising job descriptions. some they'll be prepared um as approved by uh we've approved we have approved them at the table um and then we'll bring them forward I don't know how that process will work um to really um update we had some job descriptions in the 90s still um and updated what the folks are actually doing so we did that work together with CSEA and so using those job descriptions now that are all fairly recent and up to date and pretty good every you and the ones that

It needs to be understood that throughout the district classified certified staff if there is a threat, perceived threat or an observed threat that you first report that to law enforcement. Then you report to district. We don't hesitate and wait to see if district says it's okay to report to law enforcement person. That is the the policy.

162reading of proposed administration regulation 5113.11 attendance super supervision I need a motion >> so move >> bills the first a second >> Jordan's the second discussion or question >> who's our supervisor >> that' be Mr. Robinson who's in charge of our shards and CWA what all would you be doing overse are doing already >> I'm working with um our people specialist receptionist she and I have gone different star training to one she works So we're going to be collaborating this board. We're going to be collaborating school districts and it's going to be attending CWA monthly. So we're just looking um finding smaller school districts and rural settings over the summer programs and plans. Also we hel we followed the process. We sent out stations. We're not getting them to turn on the parents usually. So
163we're trying to figure out what's a better way to parents knock the phone off in person. So what other ways >> also um he's been conducting his attendance committees and on miss yeah on Miss Whiteside's board presentation goal two under the safe and positive school climate Mr. Robinson agreed that that slide with what he's been doing in attendance as well. And so with the attendance committees and everything that put into place and continue on that will increase in Saturday schools as well as you can see from the previous um presentation. I believe it's $56,000 some change in new Saturday school and the principles a great job of that and they're going to continue to do that going into next year. I wonder if the committee help the comments as well and and yet we still
164have lots of um issues with attendance as some of us know at certain schools. So >> I do want to point out though I meant to say it earlier that looking at the report um that had 94 94% ADA. So, not quite 95% but uh that's I'm sure the Saturday schools helped. But that was I was that was good to see. >> In fact, I think it was all three elementary schools left the way was pretty high. >> I I do want I do want to add I know this is on Ed sorry for interrupting. Um but had 100% >> on the cast, >> right? So um we um I know that um it's service side but also um and also correct me um but I believe we hit our mark as a district for
165the cast and um I don't want to infringe too much on that services but kudos to our admin and kudos to our staff and I think your schools were at 97 they were pretty high. Yes, congratulations to everybody but VO 100% amazing. >> Mrs. Do you wanted to say something? >> Well, just that your most recent board update has passed. We need to go a little bit more. Um, but again, we did sent out a message to VA that was huge. 100% participation, zero opt. That's a lot of effort, a lot of calls, a lot of coordination. So again, kudos to you want to contribute. No, just the uh the number of optouts have dropped significantly for state testing and getting more students participate and really making sure that we're able to use that data
166to gauge college career readiness students over time and that is the attention to that data >> and I'll basically reporting I think I when we were discussing absenteeism Um that was one thing that was not the fact that those those families that we are just not reaching what are the efforts I know that other districts have an outreach officer home visits I know that that's a touchy thing but you're right we have to think because art is great as the first line so to speak but I mean in terms of when you get that far to those absences but but if you do not have a family responding whatsoever. We have to do more to break down those barriers and see what's going on in the household that prevents a kid from coming. So I
167appreciate trying to think outside the box what we can do and what we feel comfortable doing in breaking those barriers. >> And really works hard and she got well over 100 families. >> All right. So you got a lot of interse >> and part of it is building relationships with the families when they when that is the very first thing is when they feel that they have that person that cares and will listen to what's going on. I think that is that is the first one. Good job Mrs. Zimmer. >> So with that did you have anything else though? Any further discussion? We have none. Calling for the vote. All in favor?
