Moving on to 9.0 0 public testimony 9.1 public comment period for items listed on this agenda and nine non-aggenda items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the governing board. Do we have any slips too? No slips. Okay, then we are moving on to 10.0. Oh, I'm sorry. Ren teachers association. So sorry. I didn't mean to to go over that. Week three, RTA. Yay, Miss Nicholas. Good
002evening. I want to keep this group. This time of year is for recognizing miracles, finding light in the darkness, and celebrating new beginnings. And I hope each of you as individuals are able to experience all of that. As our school board and management team looking toward next year, RTA hopes that you recognize the education, experience, talent, and value of our teachers, that you find reasonable and equitable solutions to issues of improvement, and that we are able to celebrate change and forward movement together. Thank you. Thank you. Next, CSEA speaker. Anyone for CSEA? All right, we're moving on. 10.0 reports and presentations. Please note for the record, 10.1 student representative report from Molly Gabriath um has been tabled. It's not going to happen tonight. She's off on holiday already. Just kidding. 10.2 governing board members. We'll
003start with Jordan Zarate. >> Thank you, Cindy. Um, congratulations, Madam President. >> I just want to say that uh well, first for anyone wondering, we will be returning back to close session when we finish our business. Don't be happy to come back to continue our business here. Uh, if there's anyone who is speak who spoke earlier today and did not have the opportunity to finish their public comments, just know you're able to email the board your complete thoughts and whatever it is that you didn't get a chance to say. So if if you were up against time and wanted to say more, that was not your only opportunity. You can always email us and um and let us know. >> Uh moving on, I we as a board attended the annual education conference uh this
004year and uh there was a lot of uh really good information. Uh we also took the opportunity to do some advocacy work at the legislative level uh knowing that in January the governor will release his uh upcoming budget proposal that will kick off a of negotiations until the state budgets adopted. Uh we were up there to investigate and fight for additional funding for rural districts like ours that are often forgotten. uh almost actually not almost every school district that surrounds us receives more funding per student per year than Rain does uh to thousands of dollars more and that's not fair. The students up here have the same needs that students down have, if not more. It is hard to live in the mountains. There's increased costs. There's increased burdens on travel. It's uh we have
005more natural disasters that our students have to contend with and not only physically but also mentally after you know the line fire was just last year and students have to contend with that when they come back and then we're expected to do state testing right after and still uh beat expectations uh and CH scored its highest ever pass scores. So I think that's commendable especially since it was taken right after the fire evacuation was done. These types of things are not incorporated into the state budget. So, we did our best to elevate and we'll do our best to continue elevating those concerns into the new year and try to get our students on par or sorry, get our students the funding to be able to be on par with all of the services and opportunities
006that are provided to students down the hill that are not that we're not able to do because we're underfunded at a significant level. So, if you're interested in talking more about that, there may be advocacy opportunities as well. you think you can reach out to any of us and we can let you know what's going on and how we can continue advocating as a community at the state level for our students. Uh and we'll do the same at the federal level, but but since we're in Sacramento, we're focused on that. Uh I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday break. Like I said, we'll be returning back to close session. So, uh thank you very much and I'll I'll pass it down. >> Next got crack. Okay, I'll go. You know, it's sad. Um, this should
007be a time when we're all wishing everybody a merry Christmas and happy holidays. And it's it's sad to see division. I don't like it. I think it just it breaks my heart. You know, I've been a big part of this community for a long time. And I I've just uh I don't like this at all. We should not be We have so many wonderful coaches and staff, teachers at our schools, and it's it's sad when there's division like this and and people are asking people to take sides and and do this and and it's it's really really difficult on everybody. So, it it saddens me to see it like this and I just hope that we can all heal from this and and find a way to do that. It's um it's it's not good.
008It's not healthy. I don't like it at all. Um we have to return to close session. We have to make some decisions. And um I wish it was easy for everybody to see what needs to be done, but um that's the world we live in. And unfortunately, we can't hold all of our information and everything that we're bringing to. And um um it's just I it's a sad day. I I'm not doing good with this. I don't like it at all. And I do wish everybody that you can have a happy holiday, a great break. I don't teach anymore, so I only get two days off. But um um it's okay. And uh I just hope we can we can find ways to work things out. Thank you. >> Thank you, Scott. Next, Dr. Melinger.
009On a personal note, I hope everyone has a Christfilled Christmas regardless of all the things that are going on around us. Hope that you have a Christfilled Christmas. And I want to say that I appreciate everyone. And and I just make this comment too that um we listen to everyone. Some of you might not think that that will be true whenever we're able to make decisions later tonight, but I can promise you we listen to everyone. That's why we get the big bucks, Lindsay. Yeah. But with that, um, we have some celebrating to do tonight that will come up in the agenda later, Kaylee. Wow. We're privileged to have you. Um, all of our staff are incredible people. All of them. Every single one of you. And you, every single one of you matters to
010us. With that said, I'd kind of like to note a few other special people, though. We have an incredible music program. Carrie Stebing, her fill in this year, Jerry Lease and Charlotte Ford. The singing and instrumental talent of our students is exceptional and we need to be celebrating that. And may I say this that uh we have a strings program. Does everybody know that we have a strings program at MH? And if you were at the program the other night, it shivered. Okay, the students will understand what I'm talking about. And I also love the plucking on snow globe. The students and the directors will understand that as well. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, don't miss our next concerts that either our choir or our bands put on because we have
011exceptional talent in this district and I'm proud of it and appreciate that. And I I got to back up way back. I just still don't think that we got the chance to celebrate a 9 in1 football season. And that was incredible. And and and I hate the final loss that happened with a coin toss, but what an incredible group of kids and coaches that put together an incredible season. And somewhere along the line, somebody should be standing up and applauding. those girls tennis and we could keep going, right, coach? Because there has been just lots of things that have been happening that are that are great within this district. Did you know that we had an invest a group of people that came down from Sacramento and actually visited our preschool that's at Valley of
012Enchantment Elementary School and we had the opportunity to advocate with with some of our assistants to representatives that serve in Sacramento which was an incredible moment. Uh and I just want to say this school district is a great school district and I pray God's blessing on all of you. Thank you. >> Right. I'll go next. Thank you, Miss Scopen, for saying what I was going to say. I wanted to to commend uh tennis for reaching CIF. And I also want to say I commend you for a successful season given the fact that Kaylee, one of your your tennis players in the beginning was saying that tennis was a work in progress this year and then we end up with um being be being in CIF that's that's commendable for all the girls to work that
013hard to overcome their weaknesses to become a very strong team and strong individuals. So, um, things that, uh, the Friday that I got back from the conference, which we'll go into more next month, um, that Friday I went on campus for one thing and then, oh, signs to the art show. So, I went to Brim High School art show, which is a really cool space, and it really does look like a professional art gallery. And I want to give snaps and props to Crystal Cobb, Morgan Stay Meyer, and Jason Stay Meyer who were putting it together on their own. There wasn't any district or site money that was spent on that. That was their own pure effort and their vision that they executed. And when I tell people from down the hill that we have
014an art gallery at our campus displaying our our everything, the ceramics, the photography, all the stuff they do. And this year mobile, which I really thought it was really cool, Gilmore Girls, a girl mo I love Gilmore Girls. I don't care who doesn't, but they had a mobile. And so I took a video of it spinning. Um, but every everybody's like, "You have an art gallery?" I'm like, "Yeah, you should see it. You should come and visit it because this is purely the effort of the the art teachers." Um went to wrestling that day. The female wrestlers um there that was their first match. Joey walked me through what was going on and building that program. And then then Nick, she said, "Hey, are you going to be on campus at 1 because come and
015see the M. PH drama students." And so I went and saw the play Zombie Apocalypse. They were adorable and so great. And what a great way to build a theater program from the middle school into the high school to keep building the drama program at the high school. So that was really fun. And then I promised Joey I would go back to the finals because he was proud of the spotlight for the champion, you know, the finals. And so I went and saw some of the finals under that spotlight. I also was invited to come in um into AP Spanish to see the AP Spanish club and the the amount of kids that are in that Spanish club. There's o well over a hundred like 120 kids and they were doing potluck which I mean
016120 kids in a club that is amazing and and and the Spanish teachers and um French teachers should be commended for for building such a strong club. Really excited about that. I also want to thank Dress for stepping up as Shred Coach um to make sure that we had a Shred team to continue. Then on Saturday, I went to I spent about three hours in the Bearsford wrestling tournament and I got to see High School students do really exceptionally well. Uh I got to see at least one win and under the spotlight I got to see the spotlight again. So, thank you, Joey, for making sure that I got that I was there and and making sure I knew about the spotlight because it is pretty dramatic. Um, I want to thank Rotary Mountain Sunrise
017Rotary for inviting Tony and I to come speak. Not really sure how we how doing special makeup effects is >> is different or interesting, >> but but we appreciate it coming and we appreciated um the fact that Mountain Rose Sunrise Rotary is going to donate Amazon gift cards to the Mountain High School um credit celebration program as an incentive for kids to earn their credits towards graduation. So, what a great great thing you're doing for our kids, especially Mountain High School, which sometimes feels forgotten and and we really appreciate Rotary stepping up. So, in terms of the conference, the first two days, I'm not going to talk about the conference per se, but the first two days I was at delegate assembly representing um San Bernardino County, but I do give and tell the stories
018of Graham High School. I want to thank staff for giving me the information I needed on my homework which was I'm on policy pillar that is improving conditions of students and the question this year and the focus had to do with engagement community engagement what programs what local programs we have um to strengthen the achievement of our students and so I want to thank all of staff who helped me with my the cool part is I knew most of it So I could answer it on my own, but I want to give courtesy to make sure I didn't miss anything. So I had a lot to I had a lot to say at delegate assembly. Always do. So um I'll give more report later on in my report, but I did want to give a
019shout out to staff for all their hard work for me um to make me so I don't look stupid. Thanks. Um I do want to wish everybody happy holiday. Um be with family. I'm so excited. My son is coming home and all of my kids are going to come up on the mountain. They love coming back to the mountain to decompress. Um they have friends up here still and I just I wish all of you happiness with your own family and your loved ones and your friends. So happy holidays and and thank you so much for everything you all do and I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Sean. >> Thank you madam president. Uh just want to start with focus and my discussion today on our commitment to providing more opportunities for students
020to have voice. Uh we recently um we it's interesting students can tell us a lot about what their needs are. Uh and what we had was we had an LCAP uh focus group meetings both with um MH students as well as high school students from high school. And I want to thank uh Miss Whiteside for coordinating that, Miss Phillips, Mr. Keiny and Mr. Gomes and also our student board rep Molly Galbreth who also met with his students. Uh they they had a lot to say but let me start by saying how talented and remarkable our students are. Just terrific uh conversations with our students. What was interesting that both Rim High School and MH uh had similar uh ideas in terms of how we could meet their needs. Uh it was really uh was like
021a a replica going into two different meetings. I know different age groups. Uh but here's what the student said. Uh they really like the wellness center at the high school. Mh would like something similar to that. And so putting that out there for for further discussion and to really to support our students. Um they want increased activities and clubs based on student interests, not so much uh uh sports but their interest and I know that working with ELO to work with um MPH on creating a program for that more to come on that uh they wanted increased opportunities for STEM really feeling that they really want those hands-on types of learning experience that STEM can bring them and they also wanted a little more small groupoup instruction. They felt that they really learn well in
022that setting where they can interact with other students. And then they also expressed uh to expand restorative justice programs so when students have difficulties or conflicts they can get those resolved early without those escalating. And then they also lastly they wanted more support or language support for our English learners, students and families. So th those are the seven areas that came up they came up with and anything you want to add to that Miss Whiteside because she was a peak participant. Sorry to defer. >> Okay. >> May I May I defer Madam President? >> I just wanted to uh echo Dr. Saviano's words and really just highlight how amazing our students are. This is the first year where we've expanded to middle school. Um and so in his historically we've done student educational partner meetings
023with 11th and 12th graders. We added in ninth and tth graders this year and then went over to MPH the same day and got sixth through eighth graders. And so it's really great to hear their voice and how they were really looking for solutions as they were talking about the three major goals of the LCAP. We're kind of explaining what those are, right? As we look at student learning and we look at um climate and culture and look at engagement um what they recommend um for their schools. And so it was really great to see our students use their voice and felt valued. That was how we ended um our meetings was to ask them what it felt like to have their voice matter and we had some sixth graders who spoke up and said
024it feels really good that I'm important and so I think that that speaks volumes. So we'll continue those and continue to look at the activities that we can provide um and we're having some great conversations around arts and music and some activities and some proper beat money. So more to come on then >> and thank you Miss Whiteside. And the next steps will be to kind of survey all of our students to get more feedback, broader scope of feedback. Um, and to really work on those seven areas identified to support our student needs. And lastly, I want to thank everybody that concludes my report. I want to wish you all a happy holiday and spend time with your families. Thank you. President, I'll just make a point of information. We never know what's going on
025in everybody's life and and I know there's some that I'm not going to mention, but both one of our board members, Jordana, has lost her sister-in-law and gone through that just recently. And our assistant superintendent, Shannon Hansen, has lost his mother-in-law. And if we were in the county board of supervisors, we would take a recess and have an official action just to memorialize those people. But I wanted to do that as just my own comments. And Shannon, heart goes out to you as well as to Diana and wanted to mention that. Thank you. >> Thank you, Bill. We're moving on to 10.4 educational services presentation of the California Expanding Learning Innovative Leadership Award to Kaylee B. Good evening. Happy holidays. Fis fiestas. Thank you for allowing me to speak and present this unique award to
026Kaye. Members of the board, Superintendent Civiano, and members of the cabinet. It's really nice to be here, especially during this time. I thought I'd wear the appropriate color, right? a little flashy for this time of year. But my name is John Duran. I represent Tonight I'm representing the state of California with expanded learning, but I work for uh Sanino County Superintendent of Schools uh which you know Ted and I am the program manager for uh ELOP as you mentioned really expanded learning. So there's three funding sources. ASUS 21st century and expand and the expanded learning opportunities program. But it's not about me today. We celebrate someone and it's obvious that everyone knows her. It's like I'm preaching to the choir what I'm going to say, right? Like I may as well just give her the
027award. We celebrate Kaylee who has truly weathered and you mentioned something about earlier about the kind of mother nature and what goes on really weathered every condition in this mountain through snow and rain through fire and uncertainty through long days and even longer nights. Kaylee has remained steadfast in her commitment to students, families and communities. When challenges arose, she did not slow down. She leaned in. When the path was unclear, she helped illuminate the way forward. Because of her dedication, the expanded learning program is not just a program. It is a promise fulfilled. A promise that students will have safe spaces, enriching experiences, and opportunities to grow beyond the classroom. a promise that families can rely on consistent support and a promise that community shines a little brighter because of her work. Haley, your resilience,
028passion, and unwavering belief in what expanded learning can do has left a lasting impact. Tonight, this award, which is called the California Expanded Learning Innovative Leadership Award in two years, mind you, this was awarded to her by our director at the state of California for expanded learning and of course our our state superintendent, our state uh sorry, our state, yeah, California State. I thought I was saying it wrong. A public instructor. I usually call them Tonies. I'm I'm not used to multiple technology. Tony Thurman, it's signed by both of them and it was presented, but tonight I wanted to come and present it to her personally because I think she is a beacon in your community. You guys know her. It was already mentioned and I'm very proud of her for the little time that
029she's had to build a program from scratch and continue moving it. So tonight, please help me congratulate Haley Budley. Can we take a picture of the >> Can we get a picture? Can we get a picture of him? Come on. Come on. Bring your family up. Come on. >> All right. >> My family. >> Hey, well said. Why don't we make a little >> look snazzy? >> There we go. I like that jacket. >> Sorry. >> I'm sure people >> Yeah. Get them all. Get them all. >> See if we can get in. >> We can't see you. >> Can everyone say merry Christmas? >> Merry Christmas. >> I'm barely seeing the Mr. Presenter. Maybe could Yeah, that's >> There we go. I love that Mr. Presenter. All right. >> Dr. Son put me on
030the spot and asked me to say a few words. So, here we go. nothing prepped and planned, but um I'm truly honored. I was um um shocked when I got the phone call from Michael Funk, CD, director of expanded learning. Um I kind of had a moment of why are you calling me? Can I am I in trouble? And this is either really good or really bad. So I I was um completely honored um blessed and thankful to receive this recognition. Um, I have truly enjoyed the last two and a half years of putting this together, building. I still feel like there's still so much to be done. Um, in my mind, I'm like, we're not done yet. We still have MPH to go. We're expanding at the elementarymentaries. Um, as you all know from
031my my previous presentation at the last meeting. So, um, I thank you all for your support. Um, I I am truly thankful to the site admin for allowing me to come and and figure out how ELOP's going to fit on all of our school campuses. The incredible ELOP staff is who makes this program amazing. Students love coming because the relationships that they have with the staff. So, I can't say enough about the site leads and the instructional aids. Um, and then of course I mean the wonderful cabinet, the district's staff, I mean, everyone's been so supportive. Um, this is not something that there's a guide book on how to build an ELO program. So, we've been building the plane and we've been flying it and I'm pretty sure one day I told Shannon and I
032feel like I'm kind of making this up as I go along and and he goes, "And that's okay. You're doing a great job." So, I I appreciate it and um just want to wish everyone a merry Christmas. Thank you, Lou. Thank you, Kaylee, and congratulations again. 10.5 business services update on the budget and enrollment report and the 2025 2026 first interim financial report. Jenny Havlin, who doesn't like her picture taken and did behind me, >> that's already rolling, Jenny. And one thing I'd like to add about ELOP um is that um down at the county level at the on the business side of the house, there are some districts that still haven't um been able to implement it. And in the beginnings, there were districts that that were saying we don't know how to there
033wasn't a roadmap. there wasn't instructions and um the CBOS's in the group were really like you know they gave the money but there was no guidance really and um just to see where we came over the last two years of being scared we wouldn't even be able to tap into these funds and then what it is now. So we um we're ahead of the game compared to some of the small districts that didn't have an ASUS or 21st century to build upon um when you it was harder for districts that had nothing. So it it's really been exciting on my end too. >> That's actually kind of interesting because usually the state gives you the guidance and no money. So >> unfunded mandate is what we'd like to call that. So I think it's been
034a long time since I've given a report with so many people in the room. I feel new, especially people I went to high school with. So okay, so it's that time of year again. Um in December, we're reporting on the um first interim financial report. Um and it's an opportunity for us to we have since closed the books. We have revised our um current budget um with uh staffing as best as we can because we're still hiring people and we still have vacancies um and we have uh enrollment information. We've certified Halpads and so we we actually start getting some good data that comes in beyond just the projections that we were working on in um in June when we propose the budget. So, um, as you know, I'm going to go through this fairly
035quickly, especially, um, the board just coming off of CSBA. There's been a lot of budget. Um, you are up to date as much as I am, um, on on many of these these topics, but this is the I'm going to go real quickly. Turn it on and that would help. >> Just tell me when to click at that. >> Okay. Okay. I don't know if that would me or you. So um the purpose of the report I won't read all of those as we talk about enrollments attendance actual activity um we have various assumptions that we um that that we use for our projections and ed code that supports the reason um why we have to do this. So technically in ED code the the board has to take action by um December 15th. Um
036but with our county that because of the organizational um timelines for um electing the the new positions on the board, they know that our dates always don't line up. Um it's actually uh this report was due to the county on December 7th. So they've long had it. It's been submitted. it's been turned in and this is just a a formality at this point to get it board approved. Okay, we're we're self-certifying with a positive certification. For people that don't know, that means that we are able to meet our financial obligations um in the current and two subsequent fiscal years. We do look at a five-year budget because we are a small rural uh previously declining enroll um district. So we we expand that um uh uh 3 years to 5 years and um we don't
037it doesn't necessarily mean that we're not deficit spending but we have a positive ending fund balance. Okay, it's the board goal that why we're doing what we're doing today. Okay. And you can see here the very um bottom line 2526 that is our current month for enrollment. And you can see in really tiny uh writing, we're at 29 uh 2,918 students. That does not include the two preschool programs at LE special ed preschool and the BOE Head Start preschool. Um we don't get a it's funded differently. We don't get a a it's not part of our ADA and it's not part of then the the ADA ratio and the cowcast reports that that I base my LCF revenue on. But you can kind of see where we've been in since 1920. Um so you know
038going into uh the COVID year where our enrollment has fluctuated and um really we've been pretty steady. Uh we used to but we we've been going around to um staff meetings and talking budget and going back to 199798 school year. um we only had one other year until recently that we haven't been in decline >> in all those years. So, and that one year was similar to this year. It was just slightly above, but um but relatively flat. So, you um we're not necessarily we're we have like a three-year trend now. We like to have a little more data than that, but we'll watch it. But because of this, I was able to make some positive adjustments to the budget which are included in this report. And we were able to make some positive adjustments
039on the revenue side of the of the budget. The uh the revenue local control funding formula which it deres from ADA really starts with enrollment. So the number of kids and then apply the attendance rate, you know, our actual students that are coming to school and that's the ADA that's that's uh calculated in a multi-year projection for revenue. So if we're thinking we're going to be relatively flat versus a decline at budget development, that created a positive um budget entry which is included in the in the total packet. Our current ADA, we're running about a 92% districtwide ADA. Some sites and some grades are doing better, you know, pushing in the 94 range, but as a, you know, a total district number, we're still on top of the 92. We really want to think we
040getting a an amazing Saturday school um process started and we building on last year. So, we're hoping that that um with some uh ways that we can tap into some ELOP um partnerships can help that attendance rate. >> You can see just every this was attendance month for each school's um attendance rate and you can you know it's it's not too you know it's not too bad compared to the COVID years. All right, I wanted to highlight this slide a little bit and I made this was you can see that our enrollment didn't change but I ran this on December 15th and you can see the TK through 12 enrollment with the sped uh preschool at LE of the Head Start at ZOE and we also have some concurrently enrolled kids between Mountain and the
041high school u mountain students have an opportunity to take one period of um of CTE E courses. So, those aren't duplicated in here. They're included in Mountain High's enrollment. And you can see where our um class sizes are. You know, we have some high ones right now, 226, 220, and 215, but relatively each of our class sizes are hovering around the 200 range. Kind of back um Nancy, probably back when you were around you, we would see like that really large third grade class. I think my son was in that one and all boys. Um and so then you see that you know that that grade that we would kind of watch this grade kind of travel through and and that changes because staffing ratios um you know are different by grade level. But then
042we also need to prepare for that as they graduate if we have a a class that's 100 higher than maybe another. But you can see that they're uh leveling out and that's another reason that we can see you know about that kind of level enrollment trend cuz after you know the 226 is our highest and um you know there's some adjustments there. Our graduating class um of 215 is a little higher of course than our our first grade class um uh and we'll see what our kinders bring in. So, um, you know, that that's part of when we look at our multi-year projections, we're looking at, um, kind of all these assumptions and they're assumptions until they become our real reality. And so, they can change, they can change tomorrow. Um, you know, and so,
043so that's why we update these as we go. Okay, just a snapshot of our seabeds enrollment. Cabbeds is our census day this first Wednesday of um of October and that is the enrollment date of which our um LCFF is calculated on and then our unduplicated um student percentage is calculated on the same date. So even if we had growth in in either one of those areas um our census day is not in October you can kind of go back to the 2013 14 and see that's about a thousand um student difference you know in that year and since the co years we were you know if you look at 181 1920 then we had like a jump down to about 300. Are you projecting those numbers based on like the kindergarten number for example is
044173 right now. Is that how you're doing? >> Well, we assume the same kindergarten number moving forward yearto year. That is where we will um you can if you remember during COVID there was articles about where's the lost kindergarteners um where you know certain parents will elect not to send their students into kindergarten. So, we do find growth from kindergarten to first grade. Um, and whether they went to a a private kindergarten or they were held out of kindergarten purposely. Um, but we do look at that and a lot of that conversations can happen at the school sites in the spring. Um, Mr. Hansen and I will meet with principles and we'll start looking at how many TK packets do you have? How many K packets that you have? And sometimes we're like, "Wow, we
045have double." or sometimes we're like, "Oh, we've only gotten a few in." So, we can have opportunities like that to see um you know, if if just these kind of just numbers really start panning out. Um and that's a lot of conversations with a lot of people in the room. >> J, question for you. Would it be possible to see I know these are all projections. Would it be possible to see comparisons on projections and and actual numbers to see maybe reasons for and and possible reasons for why there's an adjustment to that? >> We have to go back three years and we report projection versus um actuals and um when you look at the the state report there is a a page way way in the back. It's called criteria and standards and um
046that there is a a three-year look back for that same um kind of data, but we can definitely go what did we think it was um at first interim, what did we think it was at second interch And we could have reasons to bring our projections down or our projections up. So at what point in time our projections versus um actuals, we would just have to be consistent. >> Yeah. When are >> Yeah. And maybe budget, you know, first interim versus seeds or um or uh budget development versus seeds, you know, pick a time. Okay. This is just kind of our um uh the the the what's included in multi-year projections. I won't read all of those those bullets, but we include things like uh seven column increases for our employees. We update other federal
047and state revenue, health and welfare um is is increased every year. We have some savings in there from prior uh years negotiated items. Uh year-over-year increase in PERS costs uh that rate um tends to um go up uh a little bit higher. Stirs is relatively flat. And then we have reduction to on accounts based on spending one kind of funds. So we might have um a grant that we can spend over three years. Well, we'll budget all of it. Um and then what we don't spend at the end of the year that amount that gets rebudgeted and then you know they may spend all of it, they may not. And then what's left over they they um you know we budget it again. So there's these um that's on the restricted side of the budget.
048We'll go ahead by now all of our carryovers in all of those projections are in. Um, but we'll start taking them back out when we build the budget for next year because we won't, you know, that uh we won't have spent them and then we'll recar them over and post them in the 2627 school and it just I just talked about stewards and pers that's you can see back 1314 um attend and the reason why I use 1314 in a lot of my dates is because that was the first year of LCFF. So um when we you know that was such a funding shift at the state versus revenue limit. So looking at what costs were what what how we were from 1314. Um that's kind of the the why because prior to that if
049you wanted to compare um LCF revenue you wouldn't have anything to compare it to because it was revenue limit plus all the categoricals. So um that's why you see 1314 in a lot of my slides. Okay, so that's the history of our colas actual versus fund uh statutory versus actual because sometimes there's a change of the state. We had um a year-over-year a couple times in the um we've had a super cola. One of the things we're hearing and I'm sure you heard it at your conference too is we're hearing the 2627 cola will probably be reduced from 3.02 2 to around 2.51. I don't know if they're still using that number, but in January when the governor proposes um his new budget will um I think they'll have enough data points in to um
050to to um um you know project a little better. We're being told it's all going to the next few years will be all the low twos. All right. Again, this is just our total revenue and year-over-year changes starting from 1920. We did have some cold harmless um language in there. The bill as a reaction to COVID, you know, in the 1920 through 2223 um school year, there's still a little bit of that those protections with a three-year look back. And then what the increase in funding from 2425 and on forward 2526 it's our projection now but that'll be certified once all uh attendance is certified in April and then again at the end of the year with annual attendance and so that number um probably won't change too much but it will change a little
051bit. All right, same same information for this year just uh what makes up our total revenue and our total revenue is base grant versus supplemental concentration grant which is um has to be included um at minimum the amount plus some other things included in Miss Whiteside's LCAP. Then we have our add-ons for transportation um and uh to and the new TK add-on to help fund the um the addition of aids. So that's what's made up of our LCF, right? Starting with a current year. This is just in summary form. This is uh in, you know, the first couple pages. It's just really little, but it's the same numbers. Um and broken out a little bit more detailed. Here you can see our total revenue, unrestricted, and restricted side of the budgets. Um what makes up
052um our our different components of revenue, local revenue, interest, things like that. um fees that we charge um some some uh sulfa special ed money other state revenue things things like elo are in something like that state lottery um federal things like title one um IDA um CSI funds >> are you seeing any reduction in federal funding right now is everything coming through as we expected >> we are seeing a reduction in our title one um for this year. It's not a reflection of what the um the federal government actions. It's um we're assuming that it's part of just the state's allocation and potentially um a change in our community poverty rate because that's what it's based on and then several other things. Um and so outside of what the federal government may do, we
053saw about almost a $200,000 reduction um going into this year of title one. We had already budgeted that, but we do have some other um restricted funds that won't be fully spent that we could supplement what the shortfall in title one this year. But we've already having those conversations that um just based on the state's allocation um and our how our numbers are working out and what dollar amount to receive and a potential reduction at the federal side will um go into um the next year with probably um an even higher reduction. So, so the question is um each of the schools price uh received a title one super tight when it reduced you have to make some choices and I know MPH and rental high school have very expensive AVID programs and so as
054we reduce their site title one it may impact that program for the site to be able to pay it out of their title one. So are we looking in the future that if if if those AVID programs are negatively impacted by the reduction to of title one to the sites, are there conversations about AVID program as a whole, how important it is to the district or not as important or whatever? I'm not I'm just saying is that is that kind of in the back of our mind? like we're going to have to have those conversations definitely before a date like March 15th for obviously obvious reasons but then strategize as a cabinet and with the principles um in early uh January and February on how would we react to that. >> Perfect. Just because I
055know that pretty much all their title one goes to AVID and and you know I know that AVIC is a successful program. It is researchbased and it does have data support how how it um positively impacts our students especially those first generation students moving on to college. Um but you know having that conversation district levels I think it's really important to not catch us with the school sites. That's all I'm concerned about. Just making sure it's completely clear and honest about uh next next slide is just a summary of our current budgeted expenditures. I just want to um highlight that these are assuming that every dollar is spent and we know that is rarely the case. Sometimes we spend more and sometimes we spend a lot less. So at first interim um our our expenditures
056you can see that our we are still projecting a a deficit spending in this current year but moving into the next um three years that deficit spending is is reduced based on the revenue um adjustments that I I just talked about because of the compounding year-over-year um increases uh you know to ADA and our base funding. So you'll see um on uh the detailed multi-year projection that um I'll make available to you that that number goes down to the $3 million range in the future years. So we are making um steps to address the the revenue side to increase revenue and to also take steps into reducing our expenditure side because that does cut into a district's reserve balances. And that's just uh the ending fund balance for both restricted and unrestricted funds. Uh you
057can see we're ending the year the current year with a $9 million um uh reserve balance in the unrestricted side after our 3% uh minimum. Although that moving forward uh using that in the next um 3 to 5 years is is how we're maintaining our uh positive financial position that we're certified tonight. Okay, just this is just a picture where we're important for a thousand words. You can see um I won't go into every percentage but the different components of the budget and what percentage of the total budget um they entail. Now when we wanted to when I talked earlier about the chance of a reduced cola, you can see what the current colas in the next four years are projected to are currently in statute and if if they were to be reduced to
058a 2.51 across the board, what the reduction in each year's revenue would be. Also know that that is at the current projected also enrollment and attendance rate. So if enrollment goes up or down or attendance rate goes up or down that will also impact the slope. Just to be clear, when we talk about moving from, you know, 3.02% to 2.51% doesn't sound like a lot, but right here we're seeing it's almost 200 grand difference in the first year. >> Yeah. >> 200 grand can fund a lot of things, you know. So right these they might sound like small percentages that we're talking about but the dollar impact really tells >> that's why you'll hear at different conference conferences to look at the dollar not necessarily the percent. Jordan and I were also comparing and and
059this is a really simple form to look at when our overall budget and how much it is and to look at Sanernardino. Um what did we say Sanino on top of this this number here if we were to compare what we get and what they get the difference in that we would receive just next year what we come up with. >> This was based on last year data. Um but uh if we had the same >> per student funding model, same up uh we would have approximately $7.8 million more in unrestricted funding. That's all things the same same attendance rather. I mean same same number of students, same attendance. The only difference is the supplemental concentration grant funding per student. If we had the same uh u updated >> and because of that up percentage
060being so high for them on what other programs um that use similar data are also um increased. They would have a higher percentage of federal dollars. they would have a higher percentage of um you know the a lot of other grant funds that aren't part of LCF. >> Yeah. And and think of that impact that it could have for us when we're facing the budget deficit that we're facing. And again, when you go back towards equity, what we could provide for our students, what we're doing with what little we get compared to what every other district gets. It's it's huge. I mean, that's over 300 $3,000 per student per year. And I think too um for people that don't know is because when they give the extra money just on the number of kids that
061put you over a 55% mark, right? So it doesn't mean you have you don't have kids in need up to 55%. It's just on our kids that are that are over that for the concentration funding. So um you know it's really the state's really saying that you know only these kids get that extra money. All the kids that may got you up to 55% we're not getting that extra money on, but obviously they have needs because they fit in those categories of the unduplicated percentages. So I mean that's just a um you know you'll hear it probably from different um advocacy groups. I know um the you know the capital advisors you know last year a lot was talking about that. That's why I increase the funding on the base that goes to all students,
062not just students that meet a particular demographic. >> Just to really emphasize that, I'll just and then I'll close it out. Is that um for those that aren't aware, unduplicated pupil percentage refers to the number of students that fall in the the category of high financial needs, foster youth, homeless youth. that determines how much uh extra funding you get, but like Jenny said, it's only above 55%. So, more than two and three students are facing the same financial hardships that students down the hill are facing, but they get $3,000 more per student per year. And I know it's weird to talk about tying dollars to students, but if you just look at the impact overall and what it could mean from a program level, what we could do, that's that's the inequity that we're that
063we're talking about. and and how we could further balance things in >> the services we can provide. It's not necessarily making the revenue off of a student. It's having that revenue that we so we can provide the services >> um and and and and the programs to to meet the the needs that are you know the same as other you know there's there's need everywhere across this mountain. So during delegate assembly, you did talk a lot about uh potentially seeing a bill again pushing or um funding us at an enrollmentbased formula rather than ADA. Um there are some tricks because you don't want to create losing districts because we are a loser of the LCFF formula. So making sure that that all districts are treated as Jordan said equitably. um knowing that every student has
064particular needs and needs certain kinds of services and programs. So that'll be further discussion in the next year. It's it's definitely a push to become enrollment. Okay. The next two slides just of the of our projected deficits, revenue over expenditures um just in a graph form. The next is um what makes up our our total reserves. Um I won't go down um line for line. Some of these reserves came from funds when we sold the blue J building. Um you know and then we have some that are actually been um uh identified and and expenditures are have already been approved. We just haven't purchased them yet like the the school bus that we approved last board meeting. That's because at this time it's not put into a um it's still in reserves because we haven't
065moved it yet because we haven't actually um you know got the the vehicle yet. So um we just go forward I not okay uh that's our ending fund balance projected over the next five years. You can see that we're positive until the 28 289 school year and that is if everything stay the same right now. So >> we're gonna talk a little bit more about this in March. >> Meaning no increase in cost and things >> no increase in cost but also spending every dollar we have budgeted and enrollment and attendance being the same. >> Again it looks like some positivity there but the reason that bar is going down is because we're spending more than we're receiving grant state. So that's why we're seeing these bars drop down so quickly. >> All right. We've
066talked a little bit about this um throughout the conver um the conversation tonight, but some of the pressures on the budget and the REM is not alone. We have rising special ed costs um uh across the district and I think every meeting I'm in, every district's talking about the same. Um health and welfare of course is expected to um have quite an increase next year. Flat enrollment has its own challenges. Um instead of increasing or decreasing enrollment, a low ADA rate um you know we have an expectation of a lower Coca-Cola. Uh the continued aortionment deferrals, yes, that's a reality, but for us um it's it's not a budget item. It's just a cash flow item and that doesn't really impact RIM. It impacts education across the state, but RIM for us it's not um
067an issue, not like it was in like the 2007 89 10 um days. So, and then, you know, we have elimination of one-time funds both state and federal, but what we're hearing now, we have one-time funds this year. They're not at the level they were they were by any means, but we are expected even in the 26 27 to get more one-time funds. So that's uh what the state has tended to do is just hold the money back and give it in one time nature. It starts to feel like ongoing although we have to treat it like one time. So we we do expect one time funds again in 26 27 pretty confidently. All right. Oops. Okay. So we reconvene the budget committee summary. Uh that's just uh a lot of us have been um
068involved uh at a uh you know weekly daily in this and that's just been a reminder of what we reconvene the budget committee what we've done. We've had surveys. We've gone to meetings. We've had meet we've had uh staff meetings and meetings at the district office. We've looked at suggestion suggestions included everything from revenue enhancements, staffing and budget reductions. And there was a lot of um uh suggestions in there for efficiency improvement, a lot of um suggestions on energy management and cost savings manage management as far as utilities go. Um so so that was actually nice to see. We had a third party review of maintenance grounds, transportation, and custodial operations. Um they gave us some suggestions and we're going to be working on implementing um those and um working through some ways to be
069more efficient in um uh especially the custodial area where um we are looking at um standard operating procedures, cleanings, quality control checks um and whatnot. So that's a summary of the budget committee surveys and then looking we're already going to start looking at the 2627 March will be here with the second interim we will um you know provide the proposed budget in May and June and we really need to just continue monitoring the revenue expenditures look at staff attrition and what changes we can make there making opportunities to um address some issues through um through that and really look at what new monies are coming in or changes to monies and see if any current costs can be shifted to a restricted program because then that's actually a savings. If we have restricted money that
070can pay for a current expense um that's on the unrestricted side then um that actually creates a positive um on that deficit spending on the on the unrestricted side of the budget. >> Okay. This kind of is what I said over again um that we're monitoring enrollment in ADA. We're going to the January uh governor's budget and then we'll update the fiscal solveny plan both in March and in June um and um work with the board and stakeholders on that and then that's it to go through astro. So, >> any questions? If not, thank you J. Appreciate all the work you and your staff put into this. With that, 11.0 discussion information item, the board of trustees 11.1 legislative and advocacy report none. I'm going to go first and then turn it over to Jordan
071because he had an interesting meeting while we were in Sacramento. So, in the delegate assembly, the biggest takeaway besides the um traditional bills and pieces of legislation um that we go over is CSBA is is going to focus on how we do things as a state differently. We are looking at the same almost stagnant or minimal test score improvements especially in narrowing the achievement gap and why we have been and at the state level CSBA is concerned that they look at the the lack of narrowing that achievement gap for all student groups as well. we're looking into it or we're working on it or it's coming along because we we raised that student group by 1% and CSBA is saying this isn't good enough to have these same conversations, these same non-committal conversations year after
072year after year. We're doing the same thing. It's time to to do things differently. We need to um uh support the efforts of the local agencies, our school districts to close these achievement gaps. And what they're talking about is putting together a comprehensive state level operations and support plan that kind of replaces the way the fragmented ways that districts can be funded. all of the right now we're getting into categoricals over all these years that wasn't the original intention of LCFF we were supposed to be given this pot of money and and to be able to execute our plan because we knew our students we knew our student needs and that we are moving further and further away from that. They also want to hold state agencies accountable. They want them to be more transparent
073and they want to make sure that these state programs are regularly evaluated for um to take responsibility for their own effectiveness because everybody's doing the same thing year after year after year and we're getting minimal results back and and that is not a school board's fault, you know. And then we need to start shifting from a compliance piece to almost like a customer service approach to our students and to our school districts to allow us to do have the flexibility to be able to do our job in servicing the students um well and be able to address those and have the flexibility to really address the the achievement gaps and and overcoming th those barriers of learning. And so CSB is really really wanting to change the conversation at the state level and especially as
074Jenny said unfunded mandates are killing us. We are we are asked to do all these reports for each piece of legislation. So even the reports we don't get money to cover the cost of our staff doing extra reports. So it there's a lot of layers to this problem of making sure that we are doing the best job we can at the local level but the state isn't helping us enough to do our job. So CSBA really wants to um take a deep dive into creating change at the state level so that we get different results in narrowing the achievement gap for all students. So that was a big thing that big takeaway in Sandabs at the LA what we work with capital advisors as our le as our lobbyist and at the last meeting um
075former state superintendent Jack McConnell was in attendance because he's with capital advisors and it was interesting in regards to the budget. Yes, there's going to be that the revenue is coming in even higher than anticipated, but instead of putting money to the base, which helps every single student and all and all school districts equitably, they're going to get one-time monies. that's what they're going to do because they don't want to increase that base and be held account and and continue to grow the base um like what was promised when LCF was was set up. So Jenny's right look for more one-time monies instead of increasing the base that helps all students. Um we also we talked about public records request. Student uh school districts are being inundated but with public records requests not because of
076concerned citizens or community members that would like more information but they're they're companies. They want marketing information and they get this they get us to do their job through these public records requests. And there are districts out there that getting more than 40 per per year of public records requests. And you think, what's the big deal? Well, some of them are are taking hours and hours and hours of staff time. So, when you when you do this, you you are taking away our staff people from doing their jobs and doing the important work of moving our district forward to do these for marketing companies. So, we're looking at potentially working with a legislator on on how do we how do we receive public records requests because we don't want to impose public rights of the
077community and parents and students to to get more information from the district, but we also don't want to waste our district's time on giving companies marketing information that, you know, it just is observed. Then we we talked about chronic absenteeism because of our last um presentation on data and Dr. on oath brought up the fact that in our chronic absenteeism data all our absences from the line fire and the power outages raise our chronic absenteeism and that if we took that out our chronic absenteeism rate as a district well across all sites would be significantly reduced. And why is it that natural disasters and and things beyond our co our control that close our schools, why does that ding us and tell a story that's not true? So, I brought this up and and there's
078other districts like ours. you know, Snow Line is another one who has closure due to snow and fires and and so we're going to take a look at chronic absenteeism to see if there's uh a way to have uh school closures due to natural disasters or power outages taken out of the data. Jack O Connell suggested that um since the superintendent from Central was going she's part of a superintendent group up in Sacramento that she speak to this one particular person with the CDE to start that conversation. So maybe we'll see something. I know it's a complex conversation, but I I think that if we're going to look at clean data and be judged by our data, then it needs to be an accurate story and not one that's padded by absences that we can't
079control. And the last emerging issue is the but there are districts that are struggling with TK ADA because it's not a mandatory program and there and parents you might have three kids show up. You might have 12 kids show up and it there's great uh flexing of attendance because it's not a mandatory program and the parents are using it more as a babysitting tool. No, no offense to parents, but it's it's creating some problems with uh with the whole ADA um issue in TK. So, we're looking at that to see if there's some a way to work with the legislature to try to stabilize the funding for TK um since it can vary widely daytoday in terms of attendance. So, Jordan, I'm going to turn it to you because Jordan had a meeting while we
080were in Sacramento that I think was very interesting. So, Jordan, please tell us. >> Thanks, Cindy. Before I do that, I want to highlight just some small piece of good news. Um uh in March this year, Congress passed a budget. Uh that budget excluded the Secure Rural Schools Act funding that was stripped out and rural school districts across the nation uh lost a lot of money because of that um money again that could go towards student services. Uh the following meeting, our district adopted a resolution calling on Congress to reauthorize the Secure Rural Schools uh act and um in June or so it passed the Senate unanimously. That was great. And then it sat in the house and nothing happened and uh we were advocating for that to get renewed. Um now it's a small
081piece of the pie for us. we get about, correct me if I'm wrong, depending on the year, somewhere between 20 and $30,000. >> Yeah, it can vary. We are expected that number to pick up this year based on the it's based on the number of students that reside um adjacent to to Forest Land. And so we actually have someone in our office that looks at addresses. Um it's on the emergency cards that parents fill out. Do you live, you know, yes, no, I don't know. But we do we do try to check that as best we can and be like, what side of the street is that? Is that the national chorus? Is that you know who who what land does that belong to? And so um we >> the national >> Yes. >> Yeah.
082We we in we expect to increase our Scott White office does that for us. Um and uh we expect it to be a little higher this year than last year. Last year was about 20. >> So thank yeah. Um so it was really uh unfortunate that this funding was stripped away. Um, our congressional representative Obernolulti uh co-author uh co co-sponsored a bill to reauthorize it and I'm pleased to say that uh just last week uh the house passed it 399 to5. It has not been signed into law by the president yet. Hopefully it will, but that would restore the funding lapse. Um so that's a piece of good news. uh in Sacramento, I met with a policy consultant at the legislative office building and a legislative aid for Senator Chro's office, our state senator. Um
083it was a very good meeting, very productive. Uh as Cindy and Jenny both mentioned that uh the state is expecting a lot of one-time money. It's really hard to leverage one-time money because often, you know, a district's largest expense, most districts, 80 to 90% depending on a district is uh spent on people. When you have onetime funding, if you're going to fund a position for one year, you can hire a person and say, "Hey, we've got one job for you for one year because the state gave us onetime funding. We don't know if it'll come back." So, you know, it's generally a bad practice to to fund off of onetime funding for that reason. Um, so we talked about what can we do with this one-time funding that's expected to come not just this upcoming
084year, but the next couple of years. One of the things that we talked about was uh some kind of rural equity multiplier. So, with the additional monies that come in, could we pilot a program that redirects money to some of the highest needs forgotten districts across the state? for us rim we're a small district but we're not small enough you get extra funding if you're below 2500 students in attendance and you know annually we're above that so we don't get that money uh you know all the surrounding districts you get the supplemental concentration grant funding based on your own duplicating cap that we talked about we have the lowest one despite having more than two and three students facing those needs so we have less funding there if you go to the uh you know
085the community schools program for example a lot of the state great grant programs they base it off of their unduplicated percentage. So when you get in line for grants and you apply for all these grants they'll prioritize it based on well who has the highest QPP and again we're at the bottom of that or in the middle again despite having over 60% of our families financially struggling that's not enough for for these things. So we lose out in all of these aspects. So what if we and then you compound that with the ex added cost of living in the mountains. Um we are a first responder district. When when snowed happened, it was rim staff that came together and opened up our school sites. We worked with our firefighters to get people out of their
086homes and here to this emergency center and to other school sites that we opened up to get people to safety. It wasn't Red Cross. Red Cross wasn't there. We were. And and that's not accounted for in the funding aspect. These extra costs we take on. It was our bus drivers that got students from up, you know, from down the hill, took them out of the camps and drove them down safely to get back to their families. And we do it because it's right, you know, because that's that's who we are. But those types of things aren't accounted for. But they're extra costs. it costs infinitely more to to run a district up here. So, we talked about could we pilot a rural equity multiplier for for districts that are particularly affected by natural disasters, you
087know, we have we have snowstorms in the winter. We've got fires, you know, going on. We have uh public safety power shut off events. After the fires, we have the rains and guess what? We have to worry about mudslides. All of things we have to contend with year round. So, it was a very positive meeting. there's a lot of interest in piloting some kind of program for us. Uh so we'll continue those conversations. It's kind of a prepare what you can and then as soon as the governor releases his proposal, that's when you hit the ground running with with all your responses soon. And you also spoke about changing the uh way that school districts are identified small, medium, and large into more tiers because if we uh because we are not considered small schools
088yet under 2500, but we've talked about changing the tiers um to be what maybe uh five 5,000 instead of going from 2500 to 10,000 all these different tiers because that would help districts like ours that are on the cusp of becoming a true small district. Um and and we would be able to get a fund in applying for funding certain grants and funding programs. So >> yeah, >> see if they like that idea. >> They did. Yes. Because right now, yeah, it's if you're above 25, you're considered a large district, you know, legally. And I I think we have a lot more in common with, you know, a Snow Line at or Bear Valley at like 2,300 students or something like that than we do with, you know, Sanino probably has like 40,000 students. Uh
089so, but but we're in the same bucket with with all the big city districts. So the last thing is as as we move on from the legislative report, Sand Doss is revising their state legislative path platform and the federal legislative platform. If you guys could look these over and give me your feedback by say February 3rd, I have to give our feedback to standups by January 7th. That would be awesome. So please read them over and that would be great. Anything else in our legislative report? If not, we're moving on to 12.0 discussion action items. I love my glasses. Look at what I did to them. They're all broken. >> 1.0 12.1 Superintendent 2026 San Bernardino County School Boards Association SSBA election fiscal impact none. So that this we received in your on your agenda
090the uh the proposed ballot as put together by interest forms. There really was only one person for per position collected. So, what we need to do is is approve this and then Sue would go ahead online and do our answers because it's an online answer thing. >> Could you please explain who Cindy Gardner is? >> Cindy Gardner needs to just link away. That's what she needs to do. Just kidding. >> So, you want us not to vote for her? Well, you you decide, but CSBA, the executive committee, um, President Sydney Gardner from Rim of the World, Secretary Maria Gomez from Hisperia Unified, um, the area directors, Director A Clayton Moore from Victor Elementary, um, director B Dr. Don English from Chie and Director C. Roxan Ramirez from Cukamonga, the Sandabs representatives, the Desert Mountains, Christina
091Christina Bearinger from Snowine East Valley would be Andrea Dlejon who is from the San Bernardino County Board of Education, which I think is really great to have somebody from the county board in Sandavs. The West End representative would be Sherman Garnett and those are the people that turned in interest forms and there's nobody running against them. So >> Sherman, so I would need a motion to approve the candidate. >> I would like to motion that we approve the candidates as listed even >> a second. Is there a second? Otherwise, it does. >> I thought you just seconded it. >> No, no, I'm not going to >> I miss it. >> Thanks, Jordan. >> Any discussion? All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously.

She assembled this. >> Great. Um, this is a draft resolution we'll submit to the county until the board would um vote on the final and and do the March 15th um um process with actual positions.
