Our first speaker this afternoon is Gilvin. Hi all. This is a very common mistake. My name is Bill Billy Gelpen. Uh, they say that in the county of Gelpen are very often wrong. Come with two different roles. I am the father of first grade and fifth grade student in the primary school in Netherland and also I am the mayor of Netherland. I'm here to talk with you and the board of trustees of the people. We are seven and five Many of us are parents with children in the elementary, middle, or high school. from first

008grade to 11th degree and we are heavily invested in the schools there. I want to give you the Thank you for your work as a council and all the work they do in the district. My family has personally received benefits from some of the resources that BBD has provided and specifically for my children and many people in our community and we realize that We are fortunate to be part of a very strong district, although we are more rural communities, just another one of us rural. And we as a people need that that the school is successful. I think the a director's decision, a combination that a director is under the charge of two schools, it's been a bit counter-divorce. Ultimately, the model has It makes sense to me and it works. And I know that

009KB Milano with the right resources and The support could be the right person. for do it. And the people's goal is support the decision so that it is successful, because the town needs a school successful in order to grow and be successful and not just be a community. where HE retire. We are going to work for to support that decision, so that our Let our community unite. We probably have more poverty. generational by appointment that here in the cities. So, these good ones Resources can be a benefit to our children who otherwise they would have been at a disadvantage if They have the resources. So, what them We requested a change from two directors to one. is This day the deputy director would be a very good aggregation as deputy director. And if we know

010that it is a transition, we would like to be that It would be more permanent if it were something that could receive funding because it's something our community needs. Yes, sorry, I wasn't looking. the cards. Yes, you ran out of both minutes, but if you have comments Additionally, you can send an email electronic to the council. Thank you. Our next speaker is Tania Clovan. Hello hello. I am Tonia Carlavan. I have a 17-year-old student who has state in the schools of the Netherlands I've been a kindergartener and I'm also this one trusty of the village of 2020. I'm mainly here to talk about the decision of the directors. I feel like it was the process very incomplete. I think it's a decision to remove a director high school and take the principal of secondary school

011and give her the work of two. I think there are too many roles that a person has to carry. I believe that out of respect for the parents and staff would have further statement. The other problem This is what the decision is about, although it is It's not common to hire within the system. It was a very competitive process. Many Other people were invited to fill out the application. There was no transparency within the decision that left many parents upset, staff and community. I personally don't have one. opinion about this person because my My son had already left school, but I've heard different reports. It's not like that person was 100% perfect and He deserved this huge promotion, But it sounds to me like it's already been taken. decision. I would like that They reconsidered,

012but now we have this deacon. We would like this person she would advocate for our children. We lose our children to Boulder and to students who stop attending school. We need many more resources permanent so that the school can sit supported. Let's do a city ​​council and we would like representation of part of BBD in those municipalities. I hope they can arrive, We're going to send this by mail an electronic invitation. Thank you. He The next speaker will be Sera Colomina was given 2 minutes McKenzie's Rosenstone. It's virtual. Excuse me, my things were turned off. My My name is Sera Colomino, I am the father of two BB students, including second-grade student in BCS. primary school, I'm here to talk about the incident that occurred at the school and in my son's living room. Apparently,

013the father of a child arrived and caused disruption and alarm and caused fear in our students. Us I would like to receive more information about this incident. Like our children were directly involved, we feel that the details that have been The shared information has not been honest. We are receiving emails of the directors, who are different from what our children are telling us and we have come together as a community of parents to talk about the comments that Our children have given and their point of view view. And it's all the same as they're telling us. saying but it's different from what the school, school administration He introduced us. I also want to give a voice to my frustration and reaction to this. This was directly involved with a specific room. They didn't send us

014communication from no one at school, we directly up to more than 3 days after it happened incident. And at that moment it was a very, very vague email, very brief and I want to send documentation to advice so they can see it. Have There is little to no information to discuss. This topic both within the classroom and outside of class. This was a situation where the children entered running and hiding in the closets under the desks. they told us that we would return to our students to the class with no information for support for our students. I know there are issues of privacy and particularly to a student involved, but the reality is that all our students in the The class was involved, everyone is minors and how the representation adults, those who make the

015decisions that They protect and warn these children and keep them safe and let them know that They are safe. I think we deserve information about what has more happened further h specific names, the consequences Specifically, we only want to have the knowledge of what it was It happened to our children after evaluate community members, administrators, members of the of eh of BBSD when incidents That's how they happen. We would like to see how a Parents' community, a better response Given enough time, this will become a a more humane response to these situations. Although they cannot communicate The details with us are important. contact the parents, especially to the children who were involved in those situations, right? You know what? We listened to you, this is what What happened. That's what we can tell you about

016the moment and that's what we can't, no We can tell them such things and We'll keep you updated, even though we won't They can say something, but the fact that More than 3 days passed before they put the students in contact of our class, no no this There is no retaliation, and I think this is not That must be the case. There must be more proactive in sharing information. Thank you for your time. This I plan to send more information tonight. on this topic and consider how How do they respond to those situations in the future? And how are they currently responding? that situation. Thank you. Next speaker Tonight it's Katie Hakam, who will be They gave 2 minutes of Katie Proposal and Katie is also participating virtually. I hope you can hear me clearly.

017Good afternoon, council members. My name is Kiry Hackmen. I am also a second-born father. MBCSIS degree. I am here to reiterate the concerns of being and other parents to address the security incident which happened last Thursday, but I am critically here to request transparency in what happened that day for appropriately support our students. We understand the protocols security and the measures that were taken that day. What changes will there be? taken after this incident to to mitingar so that this doesn't happen new? And when is he going to return? teacher of our students? No We have no communication context around this. Our children have They are 7 or 8 years old and are very confused and They are very scared. The lack of school communication and the details that the school has given to the

018affected families has been unacceptable and prevents us from trusting the school and the well-being of our students. As you heard, the The incident occurred on April 3rd. and the Students were outside. It was something very something very traumatic for the students. The phone was called 911 and we didn't know that a call was made to the police. Our children told us This, this, and we were able to enter the police record and see that Did you call the police. This was not a Minor interruption, this was a incident that this completely does not us They said what happened. We don't have The details, we don't know what happened, no We have no way to support our children and their questions because the The school is not giving us the details and the severity of this

019event and the School communication was inadequate, significantly inadequate. If we hadn't listened directly from our children what It happened, we wouldn't have known. They didn't tell us that It involved the police, and this threat did not It's over. student, the father of those students could have removed the teacher, But I don't know, the child being there, the The student being there can potentially put at risk that If this father comes back, what's going to change? what have they put in place to protect them and also the communication of the director, the very vague recommendation that He gave us It's about listening to the questions and their concerns and assure them that are safe and the practices of the Schools are designed to do it that way and encourage them to talk to an adult about

020trust. How can they expect that Let's ensure the safety of our children if we don't know what happened? We don't know What were the protocols, if any? followed or what will change. The lack of transparency brings uncertainty, Instability and a lot of anxiety for very children small ones. We are already witnessing the impacts negative, and as I mentioned, her teacher already He's not in class. Maybe it is Personal, maybe not, but it's difficult support our students if not They know why their teacher isn't there. I mean, our children had much fear hidden beneath their desks. Some children don't want to They don't want to return to gymnastics because maybe a dad will come and he'll I'm going to take them. We don't know how support them and that can only happen if We support them

021with transparency on our part of the school, the council and action It requires advice and administration. Please take those concerns into account. Seriously, and please give us more. information as a group in a way individual. And the last speaker too Stephanie is in virtual mode. Waltron. I'm also talking about communication practices after of the security incident at BC SIS the April 3rd. What alarmed us most was the district response, communication After the incident, the parents and the legal guardians. We were given an almost no details. My 7th grade student years ago witnessed an event dramatic, someone shouting, saying curses outside of his class and we know that the staff called the 911. I understand that the school has privacy obligations under offer. I'm not asking for material from Privacy, I only ask for more events

022detailed by time of what has happened. My 7-year-old student was trembling as she gave me the details. I cannot fully support my son, I don't know what happened. It's not acceptable whom I did not receive. meaningful communication from staff district or ensuring the families of the facts relevant. I think that is inappropriate and are covering, remaining silent in front of the research. This is not the first time since BBD does not offer communication significant. This is adding more to the mystery from the fact that her classroom teacher The living room is not there. We don't know if it was her decision or the decision school or district. This tells us that the practices of Communication is failing. When I I send my son to school, which I hope my student is safe and well cared

023for. And hopefully until today yes indeed. And that's all I have to do. say. Thank you. This concludes the participation public statement from the council. I love you all Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts both in person and virtually. Now let's begin with the communication from the council. Who Would you like to begin? Ky, I'm not too sorry we didn't have a student time, but in our last meeting, the student moment He introduced students from the schools from Monark, who are published authors. So, I immediately bought the books, there are four, and I read them. And I want to tell you that I encourage everyone to that they read these books. Are They're charming, they're not perfect, they're... written by children, but all very entertaining. I'm happy that Let's have students who are

024authors Published works are copyrighted and every time we buy their books He pays them a portion. And I want to emphasize This book called T, what I don't Look at me, which was written by a 8-year-old student. It's about a monkey who didn't like being looked at at the zoo, but the student who He wrote the book, he didn't just say that He was a monkey, he said he was a monkey howler. He was talking to a parrot. was a scarlet mac. He not only called them by name, each one had their own characteristic and this shows us that It took time to work, not only He didn't write it, but he took the time to the details. The books are by Leida Georgie, don't look at me. You're not looking at me by Rocum

025Main, Alien on Earth, extraterrestrial on Earth that It was written by Kren and K Stevenson. and Anomalies, anomalies by Eve Leslie. They were all lovely and I encourage everyone who reads this. also. I still have some ah murder buttons, attempted murder murder. There are two crows with the group of crows. So, two crows know each other attempted murder. I saw this on a conference and I said, "I have to have them for myself." But apart from that, I had a very good Nice vacation, didn't go anywhere side, but it was nice not having to think about nothing important. That's what I have something to share today today. Jorge, thank you for sharing those books, it's very exciting. I know that's not true. We had a student moment, but When you were going over the list

026of things, This, the spelling bee of Spanish, that voter registration, The students' art, I'm very excited to see everything our students They do it and it frightens us because They may potentially see cuts to budget, federal mandates that can put us at risk with our students. We have to fight to to do the right thing and what we are doing here in the center. And indeed I know she's in bilingual school pioneer and this is where my wife and I are We are in charge of the group of athletics and yes, yesterday we had 60 children doing this and I want to thank the Speakers who spoke today. HE These are very difficult times, but I want to assure families that We have our students in mind. We want the district to be inclusive and

027welcomes the students, It represents our students because They are the best of us and I am grateful for everything. support. Alex, first of all, wanted to give you a a brief update on the latest Jack's meeting that I attended. Jason was sick, then I made up for it. Breaking news. Congratulations to the BBZD staff, Claire and Jonathan, sharing about the data dashboards, about the performance and what as many answers as they gave us. We have had many discussions and they reiterated to us what important that it is for leaders schoolchildren be involved responsibility committee school and how they interpret that data and how each school has different experiences with their SAC of each school. There is a lot of very data important and to a certain degree there is some ease of access, but I

028want delve deeper and note the importance and Thank you to the people who work with this data. Look at the difference between when it was working at her school and when not. I think Jack, a two-way portal paths is a way in which we receive information or we pass information to advice and also how we can help the SA to have discussions ah with the schools and we want to empower the schools that have good conversations about data and also the people involved with the budget. I think we have to to talk to Jack to reach a point where your comments will be with enough time to take action on the budget, in the policy. I think they have a request very reasonable to be able to try Understanding the budget at the school level.

029One, one person from the group was expressing his frustration, well, some people at the school level There is discretion if our leader The student can make decisions And I want them to know if it's providing the TAC or the SAC, informing us if they are doing their own fundraising through from the PTO and what they can what decisions can they make? discretion. How much is controlled? school level? And I think that's important that everyone has the information that They want to make the decisions necessary. They are eager for They can help, but they don't have the tools or they are not as informed as they think I would like to be. And finally, I wanted to say in response not only to the testimonies from the public on the day of Today, for the things

030we are reading as members of the council, when the parents and staff or members of the The community is frustrated about something that it hasn't worked, I've been advocating for some time that we As a district we need a better strategy, better strategy of communication of things, how can we communicate things more generic. For example, if there is a investigation of staff member or criminal investigation or actions Disciplinary actions of a student acting against another student, I I understand that we can't talk about many things as council members, as superintendent, as directors, But leave the parents and the students and stakeholders frustrated and feeling, not feeling good. and in a situation where the people are allegedly taking action to try to resolve it. I say presumably because I know that people They are taking action

031to address those topics topics, this would already be a assistant director working on events disciplinary, advisors, the students fighting when there is a police investigation into a crime. I know that parents want to know and to make things clear in my 15 months as this council wants a better education. They are not just laws of Ferpa, there are no labor laws. employment contracts. There are many things that Council members and staff do not we can share. It is part of America 2025. What I want to create is like district to give a general communication in how we approach topics or situations where the police are involved, student complaints, crimes, that is, Common questions that will help the people. Explain situations where not we can give many details such as at the level district, as council

032members in your school. And we want to honor their protections and also the protections that the staff deserve during a research to respect the process. And if we need anything right now, it's the respect for the process. I think we can do a better job. How do they work? those processes? so that families don't feel that we cannot answer your questions, that have questions and not We have a solution to your problem. AND This makes people feel as if there is another institution governmental that not in which they cannot rely. And I've developed so much confidence in So many people, and that's not good. job. The problem is the ability America 2025 is the problem of communicate. We're going to have thousands of disciplinary cases per year and probably 200 investigations of staff and students

033have rights that we owe you honor. We are not going to change the process, We're going to do it correctly. And people are frustrated that they can't do it and it's It's right that they're frustrated. I don't want to This will reduce this anxiety, this that Families are feeling it, but I want people to understand why why we cannot answer your questions, But that doesn't lessen the urgency of inform people and do what We must do it, but we can improve. I'm going to continue. Council members, such as You know, I've been traveling to the meetings of the communities of community parent organizations. I attended the first meeting of DPC and this was the committee of district responsibility. I spoke with the people at the Leadership Academy about the board elections school and I want

034to warn you that this Thursday from 5 to 6:30 pm We're going to have our last meeting formal about answering the questions about the requirements, the elections that are They involve participating, it will be in the educational center from 5 to 6:30 for the who live within the limits of district and are interested in training the board. Attend DPC. I had the pleasure of meeting the students on Wednesday nights to district level. I met the students who are involved in the initiatives of the green district. We talked about the plan of studies, how the requirements are chosen, how the resume is chosen. And the point is that our students participate in many different things and I was very pleased to hear that the staff support them in this defense and The district has a catalog

035of courses at the district level and in the High school students can choose the courses. If a student wants a course that isn't It is offered at your school, they can advocate for the leaders who want such course, which a school offers different, which are not offered in their school. So, I think a lot People don't know they can advocate for any of the courses we have to They are offered in our schools. I had the opportunity to attend the negotiation session of This BBEA union was very good. understand the different interests of district and the teachers and their commitment to the decision-making process decisions. So, that's what happened. since spring break. This, I agree with Ktaty that she was It's good to be having a vacation from the school. And hopefully everyone got some

036rest. students to staff and our communities. With that, members of the Council, let's move forward. Oh, Kitty. Yes, since no one else is going to talk, I wanted to reply to Alex. I think it was a very good idea about how communicate with the parents about process, because I've been through quite a lot I've spent time thinking about things like this, because frequently the East district requests information from the east public about such a thing before make a decision and that's good and We must do it. And then we received many responses from people who didn't They paid attention when we were publishing the information in the first time. It's not meant to criticize anyone. Yeah Someone sees we're inundated with emails Electronics, you can see something and well, I don't If it applies, then

037I don't think about it. So I like Alex's idea of ​​doing something at the moment. After something happens, People are indeed thinking about this issue. I think we can do both things. Let's say that a incident, we respond. This is the the way we respond to such a situation and We are referring to the document that we have commanded in the past, which possibly It has more details, I don't know, but I think, I want to say that it's a good idea because we can't overcommunicate. Thank you, Kiri. Let's go to move on to our topics of Information with council members. Is April, which we are in This is necessary to receive information about the update of sustainability and I invite R PR Price to make the presentations. Good night, President Rashpal, members of Council,

038Dr. Anderson, this, aligning ourselves with Earth Month and our SF policy, which is the policy Regarding the environment, our doctor Kir Carol, our energy officer sustainable and Miles Hoffen, our energy analyst in Greenwood, our coordinator of sciences, this will align or our goals in their action plan sustainability. I invite the doctor Money to introduce. This is the vision and mission declared in the plan all together for all students and the planet. That aligns with our plan. And as a leader in sustainability throughout the district, the district creates this healthy environment of learning, experiences that foster knowledge and skills among our students and staff. We have been invited to present at nationally recognized forums. We were able to talk at a meeting about indoor air quality in Denver and we're also talking about of districts that

039have an interest in energy efficiency work and we have sent students to the Conference National Green Schools Association in Orlando, in Florida. That's pretty cool. Here There are the guidance documents. Since 2009 we've been working on those documents. They are outlined in the council policy, as indicated by Dr. Price. All the work we are doing doing, I support this sustainability plan of 2021 and the resolution of the new pact green and they line up among themselves. Our action plan has the the following areas of focus outline on this slide. Each one has one overall goal and three objective goals of support. The plan has a 5-day timeline years. We are in year four of five. Next year will be the final year of this plan and it is the opportunity to create a new plan.

040This, we have this goal of collecting data from 100% of schools about best practices of sustainability. There are four goals in This category. This one, the first one is develop a council this advisory sustainability to guide and indicate the direction regarding the goals of plan. This, the students represent four of the high schools. Have community members, teachers, This, some members of the council previous ones. The sustainability board It was completed in March of last year. We had a lot of community involvement. and you can find the measurements of all schools, you can search in he board and is on the website. We are updating the policies operational, this, we are this using documents in our bond program to ensure that We achieved the priorities and goals of sustainability and also the facilities updated their manuals

041to reflect these priorities pest management and we are creating a plan professional learning. We are Working on that. We currently have learning professional for the staff. Eren is going to Let's talk a little more about that and sustainability staff also is working with PDC staff to create a new certification that We're going to launch it this summer or fall. You can see this on screen, this interactive representation of sustainability in action and I'm going to allow Miles to speak. For the facilities and operations we will continue this focusing on our goals, on the facility operations and transport and also this management of water. We want to reduce this. carbon emissions 14% for the year fiscal this 29th. We have lowered the building operations this by 15 or 5,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide carbon. We

042will continue to identify this. opportunities to reduce use in energy. We want to become this carbon neutral by 2050. That doesn't include an east the one additional decrease of 289 tons carbon dioxide metrics per this by remove old works. Our goal for 2026 is to make a average usage across our facilities and we are on our way to to achieve these goals. We have done a lot good at establishing programs of efficiency and encourage schools to reduce your energy use, but We need information, an investment in most significant infrastructure in the coming years to maintain our path. Regarding the objectives Under this goal, we have principles of green buildings to integrate. This, we have the modular factory that We opened on the Arapajo campus and also at Nuvesta High School. We also have a team

043of sustainable financing to provide incentives to finance vehicles, for electrification and improvements in the infrastructure. Okay, we set a goal to maintain a fun rate of 50%. Since then we have experienced several changes and we've talked a lot about they. The most important one is the The composting industry is no longer what it is. We cannot reach this goal, but Our fun rate is 30%. better than the state average. Have Much to celebrate regarding this Zero waste, this programming. We work in partnership with Ecosycle and We are going to offer this program, this one of Green Star schools to all schools by the end of 2027. As for to the water, we are watching our use, our we have reached a 5% reduction. This, that was our goal. The year Fiscal 24 was extremely hot,

044but We left, we were doing very well. We are in 4.5% lower than the benchmark in 2029. In our usage it has decreased by 30%, our costs have risen by 73%. You can see that in the graph. Here We are working with our team of district water, maintenance of the land. We are looking for efficiencies, subsidies, meters intelligent. We are here too developing a comprehensive management of the water and our climate too, uh keeps you informed. It is a But we have Downloaded since 2008. I'm going to highlight that a little bit. I'm going to give them a little bit of information. We have achieved the reduction targets emissions related to transportation. We have spoken of the facility. We were working this with students from the University of Colorado to develop a plan decarbonization. We've

045made progress towards electrification the buildings and create policies for support our carbon goals net zero. I have green pants, but I love not bringing these other ones that are watching. This is a very busy year in Regarding the curriculum and instruction. Our overall goal is that everyone students have experiences to expand your knowledge of sustainability. We also have many goals aligned with our strategic plan, also particularly in the categories without limits, define the destination and include them in our strategic plan. The first, the first objective we have It is about integrating sustainability issues in the curriculum. We identified the standards in sciences, social studies and health for opportunities for students to that they learn more about the sustainability guided by the teacher. We have a green youth council and they have taken over our model

046instructions for develop lessons and this have have the opportunity to put into practice our goals environmental. We're going to offer new climate courses for the coming year. We didn't have specific courses regarding to the climate. So, thank you very much to the Board to support these new courses in our catalog, for your approval. A great example of the integration of the topics sustainability. Our work is detailed in the Heatherwood primary school, which is going to to form a science school and technology. These students are inspired by nature and they will learn about science and studies social studies through exploration in environmental problems and design issues action-based solutions Hm. Objective number two is to support and track professional learning. We are working towards a program of certification similar to this seal climate literacy. The students are

047going to have the opportunity to explore sustainability and the resources and we're going to encourage this opportunities learning for the east professionals so that the teachers can easily find these opportunities. Third, third objective It's about fostering societies. We casually accept new partners and come on to allow our connections They work with initiatives in the school and those partners will be participating in the work in the Heatherwood primary school and also our climate writing stamp. And our fourth objective is about expand or incorporate the voice of the students. We had this council student green and they are planning the monthly meeting. Are very excited to participate in many ways different. They had the job of design. This is our process of to win the seal of the writing climate. And also to talk to the community

048about his work. An example It's fun working with the partners. They worked together with a partner adult to review the applications for the electro-writing seal weather and they had very good answers to the questions. Here's one photo of the team working together, having dinner together. Number five, it's about the professional development, but also the curricular activities and extracurricular activities. This is a goal future, we are always following this and developing professional development opportunities. We have active green teams in all the high schools and many of the secondary and primary. This, we give support so that schools can form new green clubs and also we're going to have This is a climate meeting between all the high schools and Boulder. The Bolder's high school is going to be in the host on April 26. We're going

049to have This is a path to sustainability environmental, starting next year. The those who work in this area can this learn about the fields of careers in sustainability and we are going to highlight the green jobs on our portal for the students and I want to update them Regarding the electro-writing seal climate that began this year. Already We have a student, you can see his face here. She graduated this in advance with this seal. There it is Rose. She is in Asia learning, This, being voluntary and He's exercising outdoors. We will have 20 graduating students This spring they are going to receive this seal And the children will receive all the support they need. of the adults during this process. Go to pass it back to money for the final goal. This is the final

050section of the plan in terms of culture climate. This one, everyone's going to have it opportunity to experience the regular opportunities. The first, the The first objective is to have spaces for learning in primary schools and expanding opportunities in secondary schools. We have made great progress among the societies, in the community and through of the bond financing. We have He has planted trees at several schools. and this the forestry services of the The city is hiring these young people for summer jobs to help plant and care for these trees in the Boulder County too. This, we have a new one space in this which is called the oasis of table, in the primary table. We are creating green spaces for the learning from the air free. We have communications as soon as to the sustainability

051that we publish monthly. This one, the next one It will be published in a few weeks. A day in the life is a good way to communicate about sustainability. AND Finally, the third objective is to support the examples or model programs that They function and are the heart of the work of sustainability in our schools. By For example, Garden to Table reached more than 6,000 students in 16 schools. It was a 45% increase. This, we have 45 schools that are working towards zero waste Estereella Verde program medium. We also have this program Excellent food, this one that serves a healthy, fresh food students and also Icooy have donated many buckets This is food that can be used. in things like drums, for example, in the schools we have a society with this Thorn and we

052were able to visit this east humidity hat and we also have the program Trip Tracker that is tracking the modes of transport. This is a live document that evolves in response to implementation. The year The coming year will be the final year of this 5-year plan and we also appreciate your commitment to Educational Council and we accept your questions. Thank you for this presentation. Very thorough, Dr. Phil and team. council members. There are questions, Kiri, I have several questions. First, I love this presentation and I want to congratulate you on the work that They are doing this because you have... has been a leader across the country and we can be an example of what they can to make the districts. Several questions. Can you remind me what EUI means and Efs? EUI is the

053intensity of energy use, It measures the energy used per foot square by year. It is. It's short on education for sustainability. These are opportunities to achieve standards and we are updating the standards this of scientists in the state and district students are participating in that process and They are reviewing how we can incorporate These are the scientific standards climatic. What happened in 2016? I noticed that there was a peak, an east rise of the energy use in energy. I think that Yeah. This, before I arrived Here, we were in the middle of the bonus and we had a drop that returned to increase. This is what I was talking about in this slide. Which part? The peak for above. I think it's 2016. Have Out of curiosity, I forgot what we had said. Alright. And

054can tell us who the partners are with the which ones we are working? Yes, I mentioned some. Ecocycle Thorn, city of Boulder, the department of spaces open and parks mountain. That Is this it? Climate is on the table, right? Garden to the table, to this slide. It is a partner who sometimes install gardens and They provide a curriculum and learning plan. to work in the garden. So, to The best ones can work with all of them years or grades in school. Sometimes it is a particular degree, but they They support, install, and even facilitate learning. So those are the schools that They have gardens. Yes. So, We have some schools that have gardens that were not part of this program, but in general this is the main program. Thanks, Jason. Yeah, I agree that this

055is one of my favorite presentations. It gives me a lot I enjoy seeing all those exciting things that are happening in many areas different. I think we've talked about that in the past, this table that Kitty mentioned, the EUI, reaching the net And I think we're going to cover the The next transport was quite... It's shocking to see the challenge of changing to this fully electric buses clean. Those are good initiatives, But one of the barriers we need I think the first question is to try. So, what more can the council do? beyond, for example, passing the resolution of the new green deal? There is Something more specific? pruning. This, I think that nationally, climate issues are not They're in an ideal location, but there's something What else can we do to become honest. I'm

056curious. Part of that is what the students have begun mapping in the program of deharmonization. AND When a piece of equipment reaches the end of its useful life, It is time to consider the new options regarding electric. We are waiting for Excel lately he's going to occupy this completely clean fuels Because that's not it. aid. But what do we do When we talk about financing, everything It sounds nice, but electrifying the buildings come with a cost, and uh, because electricity costs more than natural gas. So, We have to prioritize, there is a cost and I believe that what we are going to present in As far as transport is concerned, it's perfect for talking about priorities and money This guides you a little bit about what we're going to do in he future. We need

057to design a building which contains 350,400 students, but We also need to achieve goals of energy and we reach some point, but We didn't reach them all. So, we are advocating at the state and federal levels for additional funds to help us To achieve these goals, however, it requires funds. Yes, and we're having difficulty with that. One last one thing, when I said in the committee of finance sustainable, what are the resources Available? Mainly at the level locals are present. There are some who We can occupy positions at a national level, but There is uncertainty in the coming years. So we need to identify financing beyond what what can we do with our budget, the bonds and what be. I'm very excited about listen to everything we're doing sharing with the leaders and here in

058Bolder. One of the things I'm very He is interested in the trees, because example, eh eh in Community Montesoro they have been pruning trees in the Bolder area and I don't I haven't seen anything planned in the community in Committee and Montesor that gives shade. What is the scale of the trees? Or we can see, we said, we have lost, eh, the shadow they provide the trees, even when my children They were at school. Okay, let me remember in Community Montessori and we have had with the change climate, the climate is becoming increasingly hot and any new tree requires irrigation and maintenance. So, we have a very important initiative. Internally We work with the trees and a very significant number of trees in Bolder. Uh, we have a very project important for planting more trees

059and We work with our collaborators trying to have more resources. We don't just want to plant more trees, we want to maintain them also. But what number are we? talking? Uh, what priority are we giving it? Giving? It's something crucial, especially in these months of year. We have a very initiative important, but we're talking about the thousands. I mean, I have curiosity at what scale, because we have lost many trees. We want to know that he energy use efficient, well, this aligns very well well with the work that we are having with the city of Balder during the summer. I don't have the specific numbers. To answer your question, but We are definitely moving in the right direction correct. Okay, I have another question, but it's also about numbers. How exciting that we have the

060new pact! green and we have the climate change education, We have our plan strategic, it's learning continuous. We have the grad plus, the program, but everything else seems minimum. If we have other things secondary ones, I see in the resolution of the new green plan and I say, what is it like that we obtain the numbers? What is their interest? The students? Uh, or we're already providing what they do they need or have we already arrived at the maximum. I don't know, we're working with institutions such as car, Nova, eh CSU, we are creating the new job opportunities. It's a problem of supply and demand. What's happening? Yes, Alex, with pleasure. I'm going to answer your question. It's a conversation that goes further ahead. about eh Well, the graduation of the students of university has

061risen very much and I think that there is a infrastructure there regarding the graduates from the university. We can inform the council, eh? and at the next meeting, that this is based on the areas of learning. We want to make sure that We continue working with our collaborators and having more agreements with them. And later on we'll have an update, but I'm very much about I agree with you regarding the Grad program. Plus and as opportunities go Moving forward, we have, we're going to have a graduation seal with and an ecological knowledge with our manager Jira. Next school year we're going to have new programs. For example, in the community of Heatherwood, we definitely have a bright future with all this opportunities. I want to congratulate you. for all this work they have presented and

062how they were able to integrate the resolution of the new pact green and all the specifications of that the council has commented on and integrated This with a plan that was already in place progress. We have been able to create new opportunities for our students. Yes, many of these things have been already provided and some are spliced with other parts of the program. We have have been able to update the goals. We have a plan and we have with the Bolder Valley School District We want to create a program with our teachers and have a module in education so that everyone can take this training and that they are capable of obtaining this certificate. Is a combination of all of these factors. Yes, thanks. And I want to acknowledge the work that was done in

063Fairview. to have a green space. This is something outstanding and working with our collaborators, our students, Our employees all communicate with nature and this creates wonders. And you They have and from their project of photograph. Yes, thanks. That's great! He was able to teach. This is a project that It happened in 2015. It's a collaboration with CU with the University of Colorado in Bolder, with our secondary schools preparatory schools. They provided these resources and some Hey resources. They took the photographs. This is one of 18 that have. we have presented in Noa in the libraries and now in April in the school district later this month And it's something very exciting. We will continue working with the plan ecological. Council members, do you have Any other questions? It seems that's all. And thank you very

064much for being here, for their work. Are doing many wonderful things with the district. Um, I would now like to proceed to a 5-minute break. Thank you. Call to order. The second presentation is about transportation. Good night. Tonight we're going to present an update on transportation and the action plan of sustainability and talking about the opportunities and challenges to which We faced each other. Amy's on tonight Thompson, district coordinator that an update on the routes schoolchildren. Just to give an overview general how our students they arrive at their schools, the largest portion is They are taken by their parents, their families. Is 5600 students take the bus and the 84 8400 students Well, they are transported in other ways. These percentages are not exact, but Yes, they align with other surveys. previous and I would

065like to emphasize that cycling or Otherwise, they are above the national average. And I want to congratulate to you That's why these numbers. Uh, always We are supporting the eh options. We have not yet reached our goals, but we are uh saying, please, I want you know that we work very hard so that our students take the more appropriate decisions, whether to go in bike or do rounds of transport every 10 years. We've updated our routes and we have general education routes and seven special education routes. We have seven routes from a midday and 2.2 million are handled miles in transportation. Are statistics They highlight the efficiency of our buses schoolchildren. Here it is on the side left can come 287 routes. We are adding buses electric and diesel-powered. Have nine buses that are electric

066and This year we're going to add four more. On the right side we see the fleet, which Ideally it would be 110 buses and we have others that use gasoline that we use for the mountains. We talked a little about the comparison. between the different types of buses. Ideally, the ideal scenario would be a more technology advanced, more infrastructure updated as and and the learning has not been a factor. We need it and we will if in I see more of our future buses. I would like to clarify when you say The ideal is based on the maximum number of electric buses that potentially we could have with technology current, the number of students or as a Ideal, isn't it? In other words, we checked all of them our routes about 100 miles maximum. We

067saw the routes, the terrain, but we don't have the ability. We believe we have 110 routes And this would be enough with 10 buses electricians. A consultant reviewed our eh numbers at a high level technical and That's how we obtained this ideal number. The composition of our buses It's broken down, as you can see in this graphic, 109 buses that are therefore old people, they have the 10 years old and 169 are more eh We have been in business for 10 years and our goal is have a replacement cycle of 15. and to maintain the the maintenance in the number ideal during the last decade with the infrastructure that was built in the expansion of 2014 with propane and we took the high-rise buses emissions from 2001 and maintaining the service for our students. We

068have maintained from our goals of sustainability, especially when we see those buses that use propane and we have collaborators in the communities that are fantastic. Regarding the miles that we talked about the previous presentation in eh of the We have had the goal since 2021 to lower the emissions and we have a target of reduce by 1000 units metrics to bring them down. carbon emissions this year. As referred to Previously, each type of fuel, Propane buses have a cost very initial Similar, but they cost less. maintenance and have a number more low emissions. They have a yield of 250 miles, it is especially efficient in the longest routes. When we buy diesel, We don't have that availability in the mountains, but We definitely have one more number low maintenance, we have a reduction of greenhouse

069gas emissions effect greenhouse and we have a cost of the infrastructure and we want to maintain Replace the batteries between 3 and 4 years. The buses electric since the In 2019, manufacturers told us that We probably need to replace the batteries. We currently have 100 miles per load, but we are already reaching that 10-year timeline. We need to think in that. We currently have chargers installed in our terminals bouldering and La Fallet. We have others in we don't have it yet chargers, but hey, them, those Buses have to come to the FET to charge. At the terminal one uh we can load 13 buses. We have level one and level two of chargers fast and we are working with a more efficient performance of the miles and because charging during the day is more expensive

070than charging during the evening. It is something that we have that take into consideration in the planning and installation of infrastructure. One of our challenges further difficult is the structure to load them. This is a I have a problem with Excel because this takes... 18 to 20 months from start to finish. We have installed some chargers, but this depends on the number of chargers we can install. As a result, each new The bus carries a a process of 18 to 20 months and this has reduced the speed at which we can renew our buses. This process could be done faster and at a lower cost if we update and we transformed the wiring and adding custom chargers that these are becoming more eh old people. But this increases the cost for the district. Based on

071how we had spoken in the analysis of our routes buses, 50% of our fleet could to be electric based on the technology of today. trucks electrical, the infrastructure that is installed and if you look at 50% of the fleet that is not in focus and the other 50 that it is uh Diesel vs. Propane comparison, oh us can lead to an internal connection of engines based on a schedule of a period of approximately 15 years and solely to reinforce what We know today the cost electric one-time this are long-term savings term with this fuel during the the following 8 months. However, the Projected savings and expenses are 8 $7.3 million through the next 15 years in transition of an electric fleet, not including other additional costs such as software update, oh and software updates that

072we would have to pay. This one, too We need to think about whether there is one Light leakage, 50% of our fleet is electric. So, what do we do? Yeah That happens. Oh, we also have to include the cost of generators diesel. There is this small network and think about which diesel routes will receive the propane service also. So, something to think about. That's something where a consultant It can really help us plan. the future and what it would be like. Without However, that cost is not included. here. the purchase of buses calculated on line number 10 of 10 trucks or buses calculated in 150,000 Ah per bus and combustion internal ah with 400,000 motors for electric trucks and would cost roughly 25 to 30 millions of dollar and these range from 7 to 70

073to 75 millions of dollars in the next 15 years. These projections do include inflation and interest, and also if they are More grants are available. We don't know If the gap is from 58 to 73 million, where is it? Exactly. Ah, we don't know what they're going to be like. rates affected. If we had I had this conversation months before, We would have said that the prices of a truck, of a bus, They would go down, but now the laws at the level federal, this, no we know. We're thinking it costs $400,000 to build a truck. The chargers is estimated at 10 to 15 millions of dollars for 110 trucks, buses. If I took the funds from the chargers that we currently have installed and their lives It is for ages 8 to 10. We

074can't go into much detail about the cost to replace these chargers because Some manufacturers are not saying that the cost may increase from 30 to 50% per truck/bus. Ah, this is compared to buses diesel 60% less than those of electricity compared to those of diesel or propane. We want to bring all This presentation to the action plan of substantivity. If we want to achieve this By achieving this goal, we would reduce our emissions from 60 to 66,000 22,000 metric tons in the the next 15 years. This is similar to Remove 9,600 cars from the street in the next 15 years. Yes I want Note that the metric ton of 200 22,000, sorry, oh, it's produced by Excel Energy to supplement the load buses electric and the deadline would be for he 2040 that they have

075set the slide. Here I'm going to focus on the right hand. This, and it says that the 15-year cycle for Approximately 219 buses We would need $6 million to replace 15 buses. Yeah we maintain eh If we continue like this, we will need that replace diesel buses and propane. Ah. Of those 15, the average is approximately It would be 2.25 million a year, no including inflation. Our current budget has a limit. reserve which is 1.5 million dollars which is roughly 1 million and every 5 years we increase that by 1.5 millions in the purchase of buses electric to 400,000 per truck. Right now we're thinking that the funds take us back 22 years. Now in the left side of the screen, the The state of Colorado is no longer offering refunds or subsidies for buses

076electricians. Exal still has the refund structure, but much of That requires having money. Excel's start and refunds are very undecided. It's the first one, the first ones that They buy it, they grab it, and it's not very clear what they receive. The website of EPA states that the truck program The clean buses program is still active, but He could possibly be eliminated depending on federal funding. Right now it's very risky. The other options that the The Board of Education may consider this perhaps a component of substantivity or a bonus measure or maybe this create a additional tax to be able to to have those funds available for the infrastructure for the purchase of buses. Our goals are next. conduct an electrification study of buses and continue monitoring grants and increase this of our propane and

077electric bus fleet, expand charging infrastructure the buses and it can also be a question that we can add to the ballot for increase that priority. That's how I feel honored to give Amy the time Thompson, who is the coordinator school. Good afternoon, my name is Amy Thompson, I am the coordinator of schools safe routes for the Valley school district Boulder. What's that? I am the one who raises funds for 22,000 students who don't use the bus every day. What's that? We have a A very nice collaboration with public transportation RTD, the one that was on the measured ballot 7A. This was tremendous, what was it going to be Free, ah, free trips for our students. We didn't know if he was going to to continue that initiative, but they have said that he has scored

078twice in the first This year the students who are using this program. It has been very successful, it is completely free from Denver to the airport. Is incredible. The second one, this one, the carpooling, going out in cars together. We have this network in 54 of our schools where families can point to looking for someone who give them reites to the schools. We have 700 families that are registered for that. We have students who walk, use their bikes, sorry, that's 30% of our students who are walking to school. That's three times more than national average. We are very proud of that number. This too the bicycle movement to education. We had stopped that initiative, but He's back. We were at Pioneer. Jorge, thank you very much for this save the cones. Thank you. It was

079very fun. We're going to be in elementary school from Louisville then in this of this month and motivation. We also have the Trip Tracker program. This currently in 43 schools. following slide. So, Trip Tracker Jason, I heard you talked about These fun events where cycling To school, and then what? So, Trip Tracker is a program of motivation that lasts all year. Each Each month I send a survey to the parents and older students and they me They report if they walked, um, they went in skateboard, ah, bicycle, east, public transportation, uh, or if they got a ride with the and receive money from others trip that, that money for snow, jack, buy a book They can use it like cash and receive awards for their good decisions. This program has been in function for 15

080years. What does that mean? We have students who have I've grown up with this program. At first we thought that only They were elementary school students and secondary, but now we have high school students who are not saying, "We want this and it they pointed out in Fairview. This, they are shining, they have This has increased the numbers, as I said, Participation has increased by 21%. we have saved 700,000 pounds of carbon from environment and we can download this the routing software buses. This is the average distance It's 2.1 miles and I can calculate how much carbon are we? saving the environment and we have awarded $83,000 for a trip tracker, and yes, I have that. that our students generously They have donated 6 to our schools and 4100 to our non-profit partners who are

081premises. Trap Tracker is sponsored generationally by our partners of Boulder County, the city of Boulder and the city of La Fet. Ah, this shop owners. The money that we receive from the grants, we refund 50 cents of every dollar which is spent to contribute to it community effort, having a means cleaner environment, students healthier. We are truly grateful to our partners in the government. Now, collaboration of security. Every month I meet with engineers of traffic, the city of Boulder, the Boulder County and other cities. We have many exciting initiatives that are approaching. Boulder County The RFP process has just begun for hire a consultant to create an action plan of safe routes to school. He The purpose of this plan is to be more proactive and not reactive to shocks. That's just beginning. We're going

082to create a security plan for all our schools. County B is also leading the Vision plan initiative Zero. The goal here is zero deaths. traffic, zero serious injuries. Are making a plan for the county Boulder and Boulder County incorporated the city of Lafayette and the city ​​of Superior. This is going to bring many improvements for those areas. Bromfield It is also in the process of doing create a transportation plan for security. It's the same thing, look at us. streets, how they can be improved and how improve traffic in order to provide more transport services public. Through Cots, which is the transportation department of Colorado. In the last 20 years we have 27 safe routes to schools have been created. There are roughly 4.5 million of them. dollars, a lot of infrastructure. This, We've improved these

083walks, this where pedestrians cross. I could, I was, I was part of that process. I was able to give them feedback as a mother of a student who is in Kindergarten, I gave them my perspective, this, more stops with this lights, more bumpers, and we've also had much support from This is the local police, the police of the city ​​of Boulder, of Centennial. the patrols from the Aluacil of the Coner, this one has also come to speak with us, the people who are taking the trucks. I know we've had a incidents on Baseline Street in Lafay. The police were there, they added. patrols writing tickets and at the end I want to leave you with this the Automated compliance is the future. HE They are in the city of Boulder. experimenting with certain approaches around

084certain streets or walkways like Loca Road, Alma Road. And this to Ultimately, it's to improve things, oh and make school zones safer. I also want to talk about the 23rd. April. We're going to have a lot celebrations in the eastern district of bicycle. It's bike day at the school and walk to school. And with that I give time to questions. Thank you for that presentation, council members. Who would like that? begin? Ky, I think you already answered this one of mine. The question is, where does the funding come from? Trip Tracker? You said we have a subsidy and that's where it comes from part. Yes, the budget is zero. Me They don't give me anything. I have to look for the subsidies to pay for this 50% that we reimburse to businesses. It is primarily

085from our partners governmental bodies such as the county of Boulder, the city of Boulder, the city Lafagets, the Department of Public Health Colorado. You're doing very well I work with zero money. That's a revenue. I have another question. You said Ah, automatic fulfillment. What is that? Basically, they're monitoring with cameras. is in the future. He's going to They are currently mainly in the red lights and now it's going to be even more of this speed compliance, which we know that speeding is a large shock factor and a way to Monitoring this and making an impact is... implement this. So, this is already done. happening. This is new, this is already the The camera is taking pictures when it passes the red light, but the city of Boulder is leading. For example, in Vmont, the city

086of Lafayet, Superior, They are also doing the same for make compliance more automatic. Okay, thank you Jason. Thank you so much. I have many questions, but maybe focus on transportation. As I noticed one of my children Acrix, there have already been many improvements in in the vicinity of Martiners Morhead, there are curves, yes, lots of things with traffic And you mentioned that there has been some collaboration, but it seems that each time which I know is something we are meeting with the city council Bolder's during the school year and I want to talk about this because I think that There is an improvement project every time. of transformation, this, the city takes the decision or vice versa and coordinate that, that point of view. Can you speak a A little bit about that, and this

087isn't just about it. of Martin Martin Acres' project? Yes, every time the city does a project, they do community outreach, They do it, they show me the project and I tell them I say, "Okay, they're going to want to talk to This and this school so that we can engage the audience and then they talk with me about the projects. That's true What I'm going to say is that their biases are tell me or talk to me about the schools that They're half a mile from the school." And I I tell them, "Every street is a street school. Something can happen in every school, especially with the Registrations are open and that number is going increasing by increasing. So, we have all this transportation, especially each street It's a street where there are students and

088yes we have some committees They are focusing on the projects global as vision zero for all county or insurance for us or plan of school action. And I tell you this my experiences, if I were this walking to school with a student From kindergarten and a baby, I'll let you know about about those biases of mothers with children small ones. Then they see the involvement school, district involvement inside a school friend. when there is an improvement of the streets, this, that the schools consider, yes, that's what that I'm trying to motivate them to do because particularly with the routes safe and projects from 4.5 to 20,000 millions and the 27 projects generally They are within a quarter mile of the school, oh, to have this ecosystem healthy. the buses, the bus stops, the children who

089walk to school, who They ride bicycles, parents who drive, students who go out laughing with other students. I know that's a movement that we see every day. I think we should prioritize this. natural collaboration. There's no reason not to do it. Have these same goals or similar. What I will leave you The key takeaway is that the city is collecting Information or data about FSAM right now, although it's not necessarily near a specific school. There are probably many students and families who are traveling. Look for it On Google, this one, visit their website, They have three different plans and vote in that. Another question on that topic From bikes to school is very Well, at least these are in the schools where my children go, I see that There is a 50% increase in students

090who They're on bicycles. I don't know if they are This includes the buttons, the snacks, the sandwiches or the activities. Oh, we also have the factor of the weather and without sending any more promotion around these awards is a It cost a lot and you're not alone because I look at this, the paths of The bikes are completely full. Yes, they are being impacted, perhaps. monthly or quarterly. Yes, it's difficult to host a a party every week, but what it does I can say that when my children They were in Heatherwood, we were doing the Wednesday, ah, a party small, I don't know if they were watching This is something at Columbine High School. Is a bigger party. Ship tracker les This gives a little more motivation to that they continue throughout this winter. He

091also cycles to work, he can put it on the calendar. Never We planned something very specific, but in In November we have Ruby's walk Bridges and we are celebrating transportation and racial equity and how They are connected. That happens every November and they've added very good ones resources for teachers implement in the classes. That's something. that we can put on the calendar for the month of November the year that He's coming. Alex, yes, I have bus questions. For Ini, but I like to ask you something first. How big is your equipment? I am, and yes, I have three assistants. buses that count money, they They make the packages, I have in one sector of bicycle that is below me that He's teaching this every now and then a person helping to cross the street. We

092are a very small team. Only I wanted to point out what we're working on. figuring out our priorities. Our discussion brings me back to reality. about the excited buses of RTD public transportation, but it seems that every child who does not have access to buses or grabbing rides or what Does it come in a vehicle or not? on an electric bicycle is a profit for our budget. So, I don't know if we can This takes advantage of these things and maybe we can invest more as a district and the return or the result would be more children happy, more air clean and save money with the buses. So I ask myself, what You can do this if you would receive more help financial, more resources of resources humans for Can you help with transportation? Thank

093you, I thank you and in my heart I believe that Walking, cycling, I think it's the best thing we can do to save money for the district, to take care of the environment, take care of mental health and children's physical development. So, I would appreciate any additional support. that they could give me. And I want to add For those watching at home, This is one of those topics that are working on her essay for her master's degree, how could this save funds investing in programs like this one bicycle or walking, transportation public. And I think that we are missing out on a opportunity to invest a little more and achieve better results. Maybe someone who could investigate the use of bicycles for elementary and secondary school students high school, create these places where we can

094save. Alexio, I know if We do accounts in schools, you know. I have all that data. We know this that There are some schools that are already at limit in spring like Fairview and Southern Hills and Louisville, the Louisville high school and high school Centennial's are already at the limit. This We are seeking grants for buy this plus this more more this place to store the bicycles and we are not. Yes, this one. we have this die These are places where we can store the bicycles and I want to emphasize that the The city of Boulder has been a partner Excellent with everything related to transportation, but they are limited, They have many limits, but it is set Contact us to order our comments. They can always They can't do what we asked them to

095do. but they have been a partner excellent. I also want to talk about this an initiative, Amy Thompson is Excellent when they speak to us, we need This helps with traffic flow in our parking lots. I think that You're doing an amazing job, But of course, there are opportunities to improve, but sites can also improve to do things with this PTO, this support from the parents who do not necessarily It comes from the dissected. So I want Congratulations on all the work you've done what you're doing. I see it when my children go to school. Trip Tracker has been in my family forever and when they started using the truck Public transportation was our Neighborhood with Ecopas, this is the zero cost It has doubled and I've noticed that with the route There are many

096more children during the year and The more students are using this the bicycles, walking the students feel safer and As Alex said, 20% of our transportation, that is through this mode. This is a positive thing for the environment, positive for our bodies and yes we have to be very careful with the funds we use to support those efforts. is important at the district level and I am very happy to see that your team of one It's working out, and congratulations! to the businesses that participate in Trip Trackers Gateway Gateway. At the end of year, when the weather or climate turns It's nice, the children want to spend their money in that, but it does help us with those businesses participate, congratulations to our community partners. Returning to my comment former, This is in terms of

097electrifying our truck fleet and the fact that 20% of the students are taking this What type of transport is this to get back to the investments, to the point of doctor Carol, how green is the option that depends in it use of this the energy that it occupies Excel company to electrify and that It is not always within our control. There were other comments, Alex, This is tiny, but I need to address this passionate group of participants of the community. Then we can represent that. So I want to acknowledge this "how much" Our community advocates for not leave the cars running. I have two I wrote down the questions and forgot. ask them. With the chargers that We have in the schools that the public can come and use, do we make money from that?

098we won it sufficient for this the costs of electricity and software. Alright. Do we have the fastest chargers in public places or are they regulars? No, I don't. have. We have levels three and four for these buses, but not for cars. In my last vehicle purchase, I I think we bought this vehicle more small ones in the fleet. This one can talk Regarding the decrease in enrollment, how does that affect the routes of transport and efficiencies environmental and the capacity of vehicles. As you have seen, 128 of our vehicles are 10 years old or further. We've changed the route, it's obvious completely different. We changed the routes in 2019. Now we have fewer children. who travel on school transport that before. Now we need more of this buses that stop for 14 passengers in this

099instead of 71 travelers. And if we're replacing a bus approximately 10 buses per year, It's going to take us a while. We have several 48-foot buses passengers, 71 passengers, this, for children who occupy wheels, for example. We work closely with Andrew Thompson in transport for think about all those issues. Thank you That's because I've heard that about the community. This, they wonder about the buses that aren't full and how that impacts the sustainability. While we are By replacing the fleet, there is a space that one can see that the buses do not They are complete, but we already know that. The Another thing to think about, the buses They have two levels. They pick up and drop off at a school, then pick up and drop off at another school. This could be very full

100on the first trip, but not in the second one, because example. So, they have the potential to see a truck that is not completely full, but it's the second journey. Disney Kitty. Alex described the truck conversation and that was something Sad, but I'd like to change everything to electric tomorrow and I think we all I'd love to, but at a moment of limited resources, this, you have mentioned is the volatility in the world right now, But what about before that volatility? was the trend in terms of the bus manufacturers and the expectation of the costs that would be the least more near a diesel bus or propane was 450 150. There was a trend before, um, before of the tariffs, which we could see in 5 years instead of was going to be 250 instead

101of 400. What were the trends? We have worked closely with two consultants to electrify our It's a fleet and nobody's promising the numbers, but Everyone thought the prices were going to continue going down with new manufacturers that They were going to begin, but especially with What was happening now is happening Federally, there was a lot of money before. for buses at the federal level and state. I also cannot answer the I'm asking because I don't know, but we thought that the numbers were going to decrease, but I haven't In fact, I'm not considering that. This analysis is because we don't know what It's going to happen in the next 4 years. A One more question, I forgot to write it down. In the slide that talked about unique car trips and ways When the children

102arrive at school, there are a way that has been able to track the how much People drive children to school, But they keep going to get to their jobs. Because if you're going to go to work, you're going to go to work by car. Anyway, We probably cannot know that information. We would have to see the previous surveys, Kitty, to search These numbers. I don't have them tonight. I'm not suggesting that he takes or does It was extra work, but it was a question Yes, yes, he/she was able to do it that. Dr. Anderson, forgive me. First, I want to say thank you. our team for the amount significant that they did to do This presentation. they were able to see our superstars in terms of sustainability and transport. Wanna I thank the team, I

103appreciate the questions. Let's talk about the address. This is something that They prioritized it in the council as something of investigate. There is a spectrum of movements we can make like district, smaller movements. We're going to have more parking for bicycles. We're going to give Amy more support to see what she can do. Those are the smallest movements, larger movements. Let's go consider an increase in taxes on property to accelerate those programs. Let's consider the following address in next bonus. is the sustainability, a critical component of that. Their policy, board members, dictates, you can correct me if I mistaken, R, this dictates the distance that students travel in buses. We can reconsider that. This is a presentation, not a particular work session, no It has to be. We are presenting that information under your request,

104unless you It indicates otherwise, given the cost. related that Rob has presented and today This is not the time they need to make a decision. those important decisions, at least that you tell us today. Let's go continue to keep that as a priority and we're going to keep doing the small movements like these make sense within our budget and strategy, unless you tell us about another one mode. So it's almost a question of clarification. There are things we can do for Speed ​​that up, right? In competition with other things. If we have the Suitable personnel, there are opportunities to make it clear what can do. So, we're asking the advice if anyone wants to answer, if They don't have strong opinions, we can see how things are going. Potentially We can have that as a

105topic in the future, more than one session topic of working group in the future, in a future quarter, how do the grants. This, I don't want that to be a unique visit to this topic, but I want to assure you that we are achieving expectations. Jason, I was going to say given the high degree of uncertainty that we are facing at the federal level and state, which has a significant impact on the facets to the services we provide, we must consider I'm wait to see what happens before doing a change large, I mention in an MLO, add instability to the market. If the People are making difficult decisions. in their homes, this weather is not the moment. We need to understand where we are in the context of everything. take the decisions to continue achieving

106our action plan goals sustainability and keeping an eye on things while they change, but Don't commit dollars or explore, add additional dollars up to to understand how things are going to turn out state and federal levels. I am I definitely do not agree with Nicole. It is the given moment of uncertainty enormous that we have in the markets and the economy. AND even if that were stable, see the huge difference in the costs between an electric fleet or something because of a fossil fuel, it is very difficult justify spending so much more money without to have financing for that money beyond the district, because We have uncertainty regarding our financing also in the future, with the aspiration we have It would be excellent if everything that We did this, it was all green, no we

107had emissions. I don't think that's going to happen happen soon, but take it step by step step, noticing what is happening. If I were here to vote for him, I I would support asking the contributors at some point, but This is not the moment, because having, We are very fortunate to have very good community members who They support our work and everything else. county benefits of This is the information that they have contributors in taking their decisions. But I agree that Unfortunately, it is not the same now. moment. I agree with these comments. I, Dr. Anderson, you said there are things we can do more of this quickly that they are not in competition with our current priorities and given the uncertainty that Nicol Kitty indicated, This is probably not the right time. Further Beyond

108what they have presented here, if We want to achieve the goals, we are not on the way to that. We are trying to make progress, reduce emissions, But we're not on the right track to to achieve the goals we have set. So I'd like to know what they are. the movements that are more aggressive. It doesn't have to be right now, but in some month It's difficult to know what the future holds. These things, what can we do that we don't It costs money, which isn't in competition with other things that are important to us. But me I'd be interested to see what the others are. options. The biggest things that They can make bonds, um, taxes For transportation, those are the most important. To the exempt, that if we ask for bond dollars, which

109would increase efficiencies, older buildings more older ones are more inefficient. the newest buildings efficient. How close are we to Net Zero? In Nubista has an EUI of 38. We are very close because you need To have net zero, this needs to be in approximately 30. So, then the schools that We opened in 2017 and have the capacity if we had a net zero This electricity solar. If one continues to lower the routes, that achieves our goals, but or force that there are more cars in the paths. Trans. Transportation is mandatory only for the special education students in the state of Colorado. I would say, if We have reduced the number of routes from 186 to 130, not everyone was very excited when we did that. There were people who annoying. So, I think it requires

110money. to achieve these goals. It's not simply turning them off. Lights at the end of the day, they are movements large energy resources that we have to do. And as for transportation, I I congratulate the team for having a plan to investigate further what would require. We would need a consultant to conduct the study which Rabbi referred to That Yes, it would not necessarily be a Big movement, but the next one I pass in that direction around transportation, and then we have to think about a subsequent bonus, the potential cost. When we do the study of facilities, what are we going to do? Come on to do an analysis of the facilities before requesting another bonus. Can we do Right? To be honest, the team has talked. about that. This, the most easy, and we've

111talked about the easiest things. them I assure you. That idea of a robot, this component of Sustainability has a lot to do with it. sense. If we're talking about a plan capital improvement and what it would look like next bonus, this one, focusing on electricity solar, transportation can be part of that bond program, including buses. It doesn't make much sense. prioritizing everything else, but this buildings or facilities plus efficient, more new, the difficulties we have with a lack of light natural. If I were in the advice, I think it would be a component of a future bond and think about it this way. AND Hopefully things will get better in a future bonus, because I'm spending our current bond, the rate of inflation, prices of construction, this is not the time for all those things.

112I agree with what they have said regarding the prioritization, direction, this, the I also think that Much of it is in a "can't" mode to know about the infrastructure. energy costs, if we don't even take into account This accounts for the political environment, We are also in technological flux also. I can also say that while working in partnership, by For example, with cities, with dice, this RTD, the points important, it can be part of our strategy to move people and know How can that be done well and internally the numbers that are required to build the infrastructure A truck loader. This isn't much. when this is compared to giving Thomsen More staff resources and more society in the community. So, we can talk about this. of what we are doing in this the fields individual.

113I believe we would receive more and this income or return in some smaller things. Speaking of that, one thing that this is thought of, many people They ask, what time do they arrive at the stop challenge the community? What time They can get on a truck that will take them arrive at the school that's not on our route? we give a This to RTD, we communicate this our opening and closing times. Have This is a program called School Tripper, they put a bus extra this around the times schoolchildren, this, but they have had difficulties in finding choers like us. They are approaching the levels pre-pandemic, almost, since they haven't yet They have arrived, but they are approaching. So, there are limitations, they can't do everything that we asked of them. It could be a opportunity

114for students who They are very interested in participate in that type of work and solve problems in their schools specific. RTD has just hired a new specialist in youth participation and She is very willing to go to the Homecoming Night presentations school and this to provide more services to the schools. Excuse me, Dr. Anderson, just an idea, members from the council, that's what I'm saying listening. Now continue doing the work, they can do it easily and the opportunities and potentially a next step. I don't know if they've had the resources or support to do that. We have contacted the parents of families who are within the areas of walk or cycle to find out the reasons that they It's harmful when children don't walk or don't They go by bicycle to the schools. That would

115be easy to compile that information. We've never done that. formally. This, It would be interesting to add some questions in the surveys. The program Trip Tracker. This, my last question is, Tell me about the successes and challenges in getting to school and I share that information with RTD. We can have a more robust survey with those types of questions to find out the things. This, my advice, is something we can do if they support it. us it can allow you to have more data specific within our cities and can help identify this places in paths or bike lanes that are they can reprioritize. So, I think that We need to ask those questions. I I think it feels like a good next step. step to isolate those families that They live inside. If we can

116find the These are the right parents to get that information, we want good this good investment rates. Well, I think that's it. That would be a good next step. Alex, I completely agree with that. I I would say, to repeat, that they shouldn't think too small in terms of transport. There are many people who walk in electric bikes quite a lot distance. So, I have I'm curious about the status of the implementation of the city's effort Regarding parks and spaces public areas, including sidewalks, bike paths, use paths multiple, they are prioritized, they are making progress to invest, to to make it safer and better. I think that Parents take that into account within our district. Thank you both for your Very comprehensive presentation, they will Thank you very much. Council Members, We have another topic

117of information, This is the preliminary budget for the 25th year. 2526. This member, Mr. Ster, is going to to present on this topic evening. I'm checking the microphone. Good. Thank you, President RP. Members of Derson Council. I am here to present about the preliminary budget for the years 2526. I've made some adjustments and additions to the slides at the end of the presentation, slides 279. I've made some adjustments and we're going to talk when we get there about That's it, but let's add this one. full presentation to the east Board file Dogs. A general overview of the agenda. I'm going to talk about those from timeline, this is the events important, this, the development of budget, registration, the adjustments preliminaries, the next steps in the future. So, regarding the timeline and important events, that's a

118repetitive presentation that I included when we last spoke about the cycle budgetary. We had this one significant amount of data in We did it in January, February and March and We are on the red line. I'm highlighting the topics that We have already passed through and are now finishing up in regarding the data input we receive in the cycle mainly, uh, is that the legislature He's going to finish his good work in the last in the next four weeks and we are getting closer to balancing the budget for its adoption in June. We have published the staff, We have this great commitment to budget dollars for the district. We did it before the spring break. We are continuing to update the needs staff in schools while we continue along this last stages of the school

119year. So, the An important point in this process encompasses many months, we still have several more months to go and there are several options for including this data relevant up to the adoption of budget in June. I'm going to do one Pause for a moment to see if it is Is there a question about the process? to date or something like that. But I'm going to continue forward. Not so fast, Bill. That's what this council is for, the public. I also want to recognize how complex this is budgeting process, the amount of time that Bill has in that. Can We could talk about it for hours. And as for transparency, as Bill presents it, the budget, community members, board members, for whom They work in businesses that have a process of budgetary, we are in

120a process of incremental instead of a process based at zero. You can correct me if I'm wrong about from the perspective of the overall budget, What there will be are adjustments and changes compared to last year, based on income and expenses. We have tried to include slides that comes to encompass the entirety of budget so that they can have a sense of size and scope, but to cause of the obligations contractual and 90% of our Budget is people, we can't do a zero-based process because everyone They would be on a one-year contract. No has sense. So, we don't make a budget. based on zero because the priorities They change, there are a lot of changes. So it's important to have that as context because what Bill is going to talk about These are the year-on-year

121changes. As public agreement, someone who He wants specific details. Yeah We published, once I repeat, that the The budget is based on our best thoughts, based on the east budget state and projecting how we're doing, how much we are going to receive for student and when we take into account the supplies, the priorities and there will be adjustments that we have made from last year to this year. Let's go To highlight that, But it's not something I've said. publicly previously, but speaking with the members of the Council, is important to clarify. We're talking of an incremental process because the business that this is the budget we have, no we can make the budget zero and to do it again, but when there are new investments and we are making new ones things, we've done one

122of two ways. or we include it in the general budget for it to be used or we put in dollars unique or this financing differentiated, predominant or we have dollars categorical for several years, but not for always. We'll do it until we do it We turned it off. Let's see it, let's do it just once to see how it goes for several years to accelerate. And so I wanted to provide that context before Let's start with Bill and Bill, if I'm wrong, Please, can you correct me? De point From an accounting perspective, I don't know if it describe as incremental or based on zero. Yeah, definitely nothing is out of the question place. One of the challenges we face we face when we talk about a budgeting from scratch is the stability of the organization

123of system, because every year there are certain expectations that will come later changed eh throughout the organization. Yeah, Alex, thank you. People are asking, I'm listening. no one on the council has suggested budget from scratch, but which we have always recommended year-on-year increases and the proportionality and changes. Never we have suggested budget from scratch based in our values. I think nobody in the audience, in the community Understand that we are suggesting something So. It's nothing like ours We have had conversations suggested. Yes, that's a good point for clarify. The district council never has suggested something like that. but we have suggested a budget with the different contracts to negotiate and once established the Under these circumstances, we want the public in general understand the challenges we face we face. And an apology in case of

124that I suggested something different, But if that was the case, we never have expressed in this forum. I want to uh clarify to public. Yeah, definitely. And the point of my This comment is relevant in the conversations with the community, because When the public hears this term Or why, how is it that the district doesn't It works like this, but it's not a suggestion. of no member of the advice. Yes, I also want to clarify as we spoke with the council of responsibility and we communicate with the community, there are many things we have that you learn about budgeting state, from where We obtain our funds. This is a more conversation wide. Very well, let's continue. Every year we have conversations about the approach of development of our budget. First, compensation to the employees on

125special education, bilingual education, the Grad program Plus, plan implementation strategic, close the gaps and disproportion. And lastly, but they are not mine Important, the pressure that is exerted on some topics in the district. There are numerous committees and organizations that by statutes require equity in the opportunities. This is a list suggested. It does not mean that each of the organizations or councils have had a conversation, uh, like saying, "Let's see, Give me your budget for the next one year." But generally each The conversation has to do with the district in some way, like the transportation, sustainability and all the topics go intertwined and have an impact on the development of our budget. It's not something as clear as the committee of responsibility. which requires its statutes and its recommendations, but it's part of a process

126to develop the budget. And the 17 tracks in 11 meetings in the community is a reminder for the community and those who are with us seeing the type of topics we discuss in this council to develop the advice, a plan unified, the data of registrations that are decreasing and the investigations that we have been carrying out the adoption of a plan, eh eh they uh the preschool registrations universal and different things that we are doing now that they have an impact on the future. And also like the reviews and discussions about registrations, the budget recommendations are here since January. the recommendations of the long-term plan timeframe and compared to previous years, We have some related topics, but not very specific. The Charter schools' application. Hey, They are very conversations significant that have to do with

127our budget and development, the requirements of graduation, uh school policies charters, many factors that have to check with the budget and that it is already that They build and have an impact on how We developed our budget. I would like to pause again. Here to see if anything has awakened the interest of our members of advice. Yes, I want to express my gratitude that Having highlighted this, the challenges in our community so that they can understand all the factors in the state of Colorado, uh, in our staff, the decisions that we take Every decision we make has a implication fiscal and while We see more and more that some organizations They are very aligned with our decisions financial and how we think about this. But perhaps our community doesn't understand what degree These are financial

128relationships, even in our advice administration, how we move the dollars And the funds, under what category might they be? but the conversation we're having doing this are our priorities, these are the decisions that we need to have. Uh, while These slides, well, we don't have them than accelerating them, but they are good explanation. Very well, continuing with The registration, there are no surprises. This has come reducing, uh, that all our area of the mountains and our efforts They continue to stop and mitigate this decrement. Our registration preferences were increased and we have reviewed, therefore for example, in Headow, while we are on a route to reduce In the registrations, we will continue our efforts to reduce this trend. Yes, district members, we have presented this topic in the past. Bill has spoken about this as

129a standard when it goes up or down and what impact has on the budget. This is about finances. 100 students previously was equivalent to ill00. Now in As averages change, so that quantity changes. Now it won't be five anymore, maybe it will be go down to four and the financial formula changes. I would like to be very clear, no We know how many students we are going to lose. It's an estimate over a couple of years. the trend of the previous two years, depending on the policy immigration such as the behavior of the stock market values ​​lost their value last week many people losing their jobs in the federal government. This is based on trends, not on events of the previous weeks. And if you want me to make one Pause to comment further on

130the budget, uh, with taste. Now, continuing with the budget Preliminary, we focus on the Fund General of Operations. The reason for this It is the General Operations Fund reflects general activities of district and has a change in income and This can be directed to a variety of users who are not restricted. You cannot use the income that come from bonds. Everyone already knows And they understand that. Internally, at least, but not externally. We continue to remember Everyone is right because we have challenges of budgets on one side of the equation. We passed some bonds and we don't have dollars to spend, but we can't mix them with the General Operations Fund crime, and the same applies to the services or with the payments that can be what to do with the bonds once they have

131have been collected. Key points to highlight about the funds They refer to changes in accounts and other funds that I already mentioned, which very They frequently obtain their resources from General Fund and the Revenue Law of schoolchildren who transfer to other school funds and other activities where these dollars are spent. And here We have a budget summary. basic where the budget is shown revised from the year current and also shows the current dollars of in once only have they been granted and the use must be for a single They should instead be directed towards an expenditure only. Reservations are also included. here as an income only. The reservations are similar to the savings are not spent year after year, but which are taken to the next year. It may appear as income recurring, but it's

132actually a one-time payment. And why? Why do we have reservations? And well, that's because If we sell our bonds, we have some more income favorable. If there is a significant drop in revenue, then we would have, and by policy of district we need to have reservations. And another benefit of having These are the reserves we have, uh liquidity. We currently have a program of interests and allows us to participate in this and if for any reason that disappears, We can go to the reserves and to be able to pay our employees. I was in the district when that happened. It happened and we had that make use of our reservations in order to fulfill our commitments. Yes, that's very related, uh directly with taxes on the property. We had a loan of $100,000 and we

133had to have in cash to be able to present and verify that liquidity of 25 or 30 million dollars that we have monthly. Alex, yes, thank you. This is very useful for the audience that is in home or live here. What is it really? this column of in half? When does it take place? Who Do you approve of this? Have we done it already? Which What is the process? How can you describe this? Well, the transfers or It refers to all the quantities there. Me I am referring to all the amounts that They appear there. Well, in the document of those from budget, in the Resolution seven, there are six or seven resolutions that come with the budget. One is the use of balancing he budget in each fund of the accounts and the amount.

134of one-time expenses we have incurred and This is what these represent numbers. We want to secure this first line, 2.2 million dollar, which this is part of of the budget that will not be there the next one year because whoever it was projection is in the story to Personally, those are the topics that Dr. Anderson already mentioned that we identified as a one-time expense to support the size of the classes, of the groups that we have taken, identifying all these things that only are going to happen in that particular year. Yes, we have differentiated the funds and the personnel that have been assigned for this part of the budget, but it's part of the personnel budget, right? Yeah, Lilani, yes, this reminds me, I have Having seen this, many sometimes, but what are these expenses

135of just once they won't be there next year? books text, dollars that come from budget previous and believes we have some public spending of public, well, they're not entirely identified each quantity. Yes, many Thank you for allowing me to try understand This is because we have 98 million, which are a single expense that is above the budget base and every year it's something we have, uh that to consider each year, huh in that column is something years old, let's say normal compared to the expenses of a only once. That a larger amount or minor is something I'm trying to understand. Well, the amount for textbooks are above what normal. This may to satisfy what is spent on books, eh, as for the staff. It has been something very high with our reserve of personal, especially

136considering the reduction in registrations and the funds that we have been carrying from the year The past, in some instances, is greater. that the long-term history we have term, but it is very similar to the years recent and reservations will always be 7%. Yeah, correct. We have additional reservations. beyond 3% we have It is also a contingency There are some accounting principles generally accepted for prepaid items. In the report income we have a exchange for income, an inflation factor of 2.3% click on the registrations and the law of registrations. This includes an average 4 years old. Sometimes it is considered a average of 5 years, but we have to consider a year to implement the law and 15% was implemented that year past. In general, We experienced a decline in the descriptions of 230 students

137and I think it was 370 of students with budget and This is trending upwards. the year-to-year changes. Also I included the 25% of the cancellation of the Levi bonds and this is also seen increased by inflation. As inflation rises and we see how the inscriptions They go down and there is a change within the states' budgets in these categories, uh, like education special, transportation, education technical, eh talented and gifted, competition of language, all this we have to Include it so that everything lines up on time to finalize and balance the budget, in addition to income or less income and year-on-year changes with year. we have a projection that it will continue and we will have new income. As the law new income stream will be restructured, we're going to have 27 laws that are projected

138to increase by 4 and 5% which is equivalent to 11 millions of dollars in fundraising taxes of the property, because at the moment this We are collecting. 5 million more for a trajectory trajectory than currently completely I've covered with income, but we We're heading that way. Tailored that the district becomes more covered by funds, we see a credit against This, the tax rates of the property values ​​will decrease. But we don't see that happening in the future. nearby. And I'm going to pause. Yeah, But how much confidence do you have in that? number of PPA according to the new legislation that and the updates and formulas of schoolchildren? How confident are you? more or less in this bond? I'm quite confident. he work that has been carried out. Well, I'm not entirely satisfied with this,

139but The confidence I have is in the trend of the representative of the chamber on school budgets and the The law is being expedited where have must do it. We have an imbalance of 1.3 Yes, but if we have the I have confidence that this trend will Positive and good, this was developed It's been over 4 days and this is going to continue changing very significantly. Colorado has industries such as agriculture that would be impacted by the discussion about the tariffs and the next budget This will happen by June. This will be after the sessions close legislative. That would be very surprising. For me, if there were a special session that it went in another direction. This That would be panicking, but those These would be conditions that would change the reasonable projections that have

140been developed so far. The other What I want to emphasize is that We're down 150 students, but this is because now we have smaller groups of classes. You said 350 students. It's something important for our audience Know now that the groups are more small ones. We're going to lose some funds now that the Registrations are open changing. Yes, Alex, if I could relate the 6.9 million that will increase the income, what will happen by 4:30? millions in revenue? It refers to a revenue stream different. If it's another line of income, if new eh income 6.9. So, that would be a base. of 25 school year 25 26 or is different from the base 24 25. Yes, it will add the new income to basic income. will add 428 at 6.9. Very good. Okay, now for

141transfers. Yes, to as new income arrives general funds, schools charter and we're going to collect taxes on the property, that's going to be diverted to the charter schools for the law of schools. And we have statutory requirements, sports funds and we have adjustments by inflation, income from insurance policies, transportation, There are no changes to the programs, but there are Changes due to inflation and all that, uh... This adds to current expenses. He fund for charter schools add the school expenses charter are 1.6 that are added to the bills basics. That's how it is. compensations. Now, uh, what We have included this in the budget until the Currently there is no income from the cost of life for the included. Everyone goes according to income, according to their contracts. Nothing else will be included for other

142talks. An increase of 1.5 millions in health insurance and Dental insurance, a restructuring older to support, uh, with support from committee open enrollment benefits. Goes very good. The employees are learning a lot about their benefits because we are considering these Everyone must register now No, it continues as it was last year. past, but they who have to sign up for the new insurance policies. AND We return to the slide eight. And as I said, this total exceeds all new income from the funds general operational. Again, it is a development approach budget. So, it remains to be determined. Wanna It's worth highlighting that, at this moment, this It is a preliminary budget. We are under negotiations with all our units of negotiation. We're not going to talk on compensation as one of the articles within BBEA

143and Nicolus I was there, you saw. Those are things we haven't certain still. I just wanted to do that clarification. Alex. And just to make sure it captures This, our income two Slides are increasing by 6.9 millions and the cost of compensation to Our queue-free people number 8.5 million. of dollars increase and with the cost additional medical and dental insurance. AND I'm understanding this good. So, if we were to negotiate a tail, we would be taking this from other side. Yeah. adjustments to budget. After the compensation, making a main focus, entering in the formulas of Personally, we make adjustments to the budget. to address this investment of new expenses versus new income. These adjustments are largely due to the decrease in registration. We make adjustments annually for the decrease in enrollment. There is many components

144of the formula of staff who are not as linear as this teachers of class and we have included and made other formulas of staff for the correct size for certain schools, but so far not We have made those adjustments. We have support additional things for students, for intensive learning centers, this from MTSS, translations. The services of translation have been expenses of a single time now for some years and this It includes it as an ongoing expense. online, which is a low-cost option tuition fees. This is one option. We're taking this from the general fund and putting it into the general fund of community schools because the staff who handle the income, there's one of the income adjustments that I mentioned that they get together, so no only impact the general fund They are taking into

145account income and expenses and moving them to the expense funds, to the funds of centers community. There will be staff changes, There are certain compensations and savings. We're tightening the budget to the sound of millions of dollars with this the projected expenses from the analysis we did in the middle of the year. The following to the second quarter projected December end This year, we're going to tighten things up a little. budget, a little more 4.1 million of dollars in budget savings of these adjustments. Bell, I'm just going to do one spot. All those items are not necessarily same talking Regarding trust, for example, the attrition saving. Basically This is the activity of The market can prevent or impact the ability of someone to retire. This It is based on trends. This may change and apart

146from inflation, the projections of additional support, that is hard money. We have adjusted these formulas for adjusting This is the loss of 350 students, but we have also this increased additional support such as special education for almost 2 million of dollars. We are highlighting this for that the general public knows and understand and see this how it varies budget, but we feel confident in this variety adjustment. Yeah, because when we're talking about compensation and personnel costs and staff formulas, we are projecting, we are projecting in where we'll be in 15, 16 months all the staff changes that are going to from now until the end of the year, people who are going to retire, people that they will no longer return or renew their contracts. All that activity, who Are they going to be hired?

147Is this someone? first year, second year, someone who His contract was not renewed. Yeah We hired someone who has more experience and costs more money or Conversely, if someone retires, someone which has been in place for several years and is being replaced by someone who is newer to the profession, all that movement, those Changes are included in these numbers. So, thinking that this is the projection, the timeline, that That's what we're waiting for. And something that to note the income, this, the tax revenues property for August we are projecting that the income from property taxes we're going to certify that the 1000 levies of December based on the October count which is 6 seconds months. I know there are many this reasonable assumptions, but really in the end, this is only We are assuming, but

148they are towards the future. Here is a summary of these changes by income. Yes, we have continuous income. included in the year's budget current. that was not used, that came out of budget process revised. So, there is income. continuous availability, there have been certain adjustments and compensation transfers of the budget. We have a balance of projection of 2 million of dollars that we're going to add to the budget what We are finishing up. Let's see what What's happening with the state budget? It happens, the negotiations in the the next two months. Alex, yes, thank you, Bel, if you can help me understand this and help the audience at home to understand it. This is the sum of what enters and exits the settings to our our budget updated. We are assuming that There are only

1492.1 million. Or is it the balance that we have or this is of the 660 million that we are spending or 430,000ones. Explain to me where from where This $2.1 million is coming. That means? If you wait a little while, just a bit, in We'll use about four slides. Present that with all the changes, believe. If we don't answer you with the slide, we return to your ask. Those are the continuous changes entering the expenses all at once. Again, that's one of those first ones. We had slides, oh, the expenses of just once for that year, those are the one-time expenses that we are including in the budget for the year that He's coming. We have the staff reserve and additional special education support. This is a needs assessment program. moderate. This is a pilot

150program we want to see if we can't, if not we can spend so much on classes high needs. Some of these payments incentivizes substitutes. This is one program and others adjustments, human resources, communications, curriculum for continue activities that are currently we are carrying out. That's all under the policy agreement of B. the annual operating budget, where We identify items that are funded under one-time resources, under the budget development agreement with a focus on special education, support and compensation. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. shout. If we go back to a slide, I want clarification for the council and for the public in two things. Our needs program moderates, council members, it's a new program. We are realizing that the number of students who are served under an IP, a plan of Individualized education has increased

151and we need a space to be able to to serve these students who are between resources and our services ah lighter. We want provide this support intensive. Oh, and we want to provide support. to these children with moderate needs that are not so severe in resources, But it's not as much as the programs intensive care. Let's see how it works This program for moderate needs. And I also want to talk about the payment of incentive for substitutes. We don't know How are we going to deliver those, that, ,000ón for compensation of substitutes. Members of the Council, we have heard many comments in this room and in other rooms regarding the payment of substitutes. We have tried to fix this For the last 3 years we have been doing This compensation is due to necessity. I

152know some of you have been here. working as Uber drivers and We're going to pay people who work more days to increase coverage. Our team is going to do a analysis of these three models to see which model will we continue with next year coming. We're not going to do that until that we receive the data until the end of this year so that we may know and understand. Is here where the budget, the model of compensation is what we have to decide. I wanted to do these points of clarification. I have a Question about this slide. In the Over the last two years, the board has invested in resume. That's a lot of numbers. smaller than any we've seen. It's a adjusted number. It makes me ask me about all the renewals curriculum, still

153sciences and studies social groups that have not had a readaptation with our curriculum. Where are we? There is a big amount of unspent funds of the current budget that we are going to include in next year. We are planning to spend that on the non-staff budgets because The authority to spend it exists, not trying to understand how much this is going to be taken to the year that He's coming. I mean, they're more or less $5 million that will go to continue to the curriculum of the year that He's coming. I appreciate that because I know that the Curriculum expenses have had a significant impact on students and really working on our goals horizontal and vertical alignment and He's doing amazing things. So, me He was asking which way we're going with the resume. Thank

154you. single reservations and transfers time. Ah, Taber's reserve is a 3 or 4% respectively. There are also new ones expenses of $700 700,000 and we've also included that in the transfer of 4,000,000. We have a 3-year-old model and This is only to be able to separate those funds for the future. So, to leave Sure, we're widening the gap low weight members of the advice. Every year we must be investing in that fund if we want to Continue and don't wait until the end of the 3 years and try to find 12000 millions of dollars and invest each year. That's the model that we are using. And if there were significant federal changes in this in a close term, this is also another opportunity to use those funds. to mitigate those impacts. That is if the

155funds from title one come in, We need to have a plan. can This review of these plans, this in worst In that case, but having these funds in that This account is an opportunity for us also. A In summary, we have projected $1 million as one-time resources, expenses 11 million more or less. There is a balance of 1.8 million dollars available one-time resources, which would assigned to something we are still in working, which is the development of budget and additional requests which are still being evaluated. So, when we enter the Next part of that, let's see where does all this fall? This is the slide that includes the backgrounds of base, the new expenses all at once and the continuous and the total for the projected budget and fund general operations. I hope this capture

156the question you had member of the Merl council. Income base 28.4 of slide preview. Uh, new resources from a single once they are projected. $1 million new and continuous resources at once, 6.9 millions. Total resources 48.4. I'm not going to read all the issues, but personal, non-personal, transfers, reservations and each and every one of the balance sheets, eh that They are new only once, continuous and everything available. The budget as it stands right now is preliminary. We've been in this position before where is a number negative and there is still a lot of work to be done do. We have been in this position where there is optimism that the The state legislature will provide more funds, no, we're not in that, that position right now, but I'm not either pessimistic. We have been absent

157in recent days this of how it has fallen market. Let's pause there. moment in the future. Snap This slide is helpful for the council. in column one, one would be the new base because you would have to take this out one-time expenses to the new base of funds. If we are trying to search new ways to clarify this, Council members can give us comments now or later. Our The conversation has helped them. Need different visuals for to articulate, to clarify things, to delve deeper into something. That's what We are trying to make this The new base will probably be help. Alex, yes, I didn't want to do all the questions, I'm just trying to understand it for myself. I appreciate this last slide. My questions before they have has been, if I return to the

158expenses of a only once on slide 23 or something and I want to understand this educational support special or incentive payment for substitutes. I want to know what the total payment of substitutes in order to be able to understand the incentive of 1 million dollars, if it's a large amount or small. It's good to know how we got to 6.6 million on slide 23, But to the point of Nico's resume, the bills 2,000 d is above the expenses for current resume and I don't know how assess That $2 million point in curriculum in the absence of the CV expenses. So, no We know how it gets here. I only get the total of the budget adjustments against the which is really the budget. I understand what is under the context of Add changes incremental, but

159I don't know how to evaluate or determine if it is a number, a quantity large, small quantity, good quantity, bad quantity, but it gives me I'm glad to see slide number 26, see These totals, and I can add all of that, but all the other articles slides no I don't know how to understand them, at least not from how to know how they affect the budget incremental. And as a member of the Council I want to understand how we can prioritize the effect of the services that that we have for children with moderate disabilities or disorders. This, if we go to slide number 2, 22, Sorry, we can add another column that It is a percentage of the total budget, It would be one more column, for example, 5.9% it's a This percentage that goes

160up or down new income. This is easier to do on slide 22, but in the Slide number 23 is a little difficult because those are one-time expenses. So, the educational support especially, those are new funds that don't It is continuous, it is a single once and this goes from 0 to 1.1. Now, what complicates things is that we typically have a reserve of instructional staff and that's more than what we typically include in the budget. Typically we are including 2,000,000 for the reservation of staff. We're adding more right now. to that reserve due to the uncertainty of what that is happening. Then for the the incentive for substitute teachers That would be a 0% change compared to the last year. Human resources, this is a 0% change because continuously We are continuing that time payment

161complete because we are trying to recruiting people and communications. It What is continuing is the same as what was last year. So, let me think. How can we structure those expenses? only once if there are more or less or similar to last year. Perhaps one comparison of the 2024-2025 budget, an incremental change of balance. Perhaps this would be clearer, huh? whether it's going up or down or how it is related to the total. Yes, I think that would be something that would help us would help especially with expenses only once they exist as their own own thing. And as support for special education, I'm very excited of that 1.1 million that of this programming of moderate needs, I want to remember what percentage it is that we spend on our programming special education. Yes, there

162are certain things that give meaning to those quantities, the percentage of one-time expenses and How is the spending generally? I know that we are going up/down 1%/2% of These expenses, but I don't know if they are 1 or 2%. changes to expenses or changes of 40% to the expenses, because I don't know how much it is. full expense. That's where I feel that I'm not understanding as a member of the advice trying to interpret those numbers. So, for Clarifying is difficult because we are using very large numbers and then we are using very small numbers for specific categories and without the larger categories, ah, it's difficult. Look at the comparison. We don't have this personal budget in parts of special education, regular education and so on. Let me working with build and how we can

163adjust that for the future. We want to articulate and share the budget of so that all of you can to understand it, approving, being involved in the budget. It is a great responsibility of this council and of the team and I want to make sure they have what they need. So, let us go back and see if we can get some work done from now until final approval of budget. Grabbing that information of We already have all the data. information, I don't think it's something very It's difficult, it's just a matter of putting it in one in a way that they can understand. And something that I always think about it year after year. budget, we look at very discrete components of budget at different times. We are currently looking at a change incremental, preparing

164for that preliminary budget. And as we have discussed in other meetings, the budget from the previous year leads us to indicators different. We looked at different parts of the budget at different times of year and part of me too The question is, how can we close that? gap a a little? It is potentially during our work sessions, during the day. the budget and delve deeper to that the information is up-to-date the mind. Incremental. I don't know if that He could also help us. I think the time between how we look at the budget And the specific times, I think that It creates a level, a barrier. Ky, I me I was asking if It would work to put a link here where You can select to enter a larger context and not having the slides

165or the presentation too full with presentation, because that's difficult for In my understanding, but if I can look at one something discreetly and see it and say, "Okay, that's it, and then close this one." We can consider some options, such as sometimes links that go into a little more detail further. We can create, think of some. So, what I'm hearing, the The council isn't asking what We're not in the budget, but wants to better understand how it is developed the budget under the entire context. I think it's very fair. that they are asking for. I appreciate all the conversation and comments about the budget. Alex, yes, I appreciate that and I want to make that absolutely clear. Have great respect for Bell, his team, and I served on an audit committee and We've never had

166a question where we didn't answer us. Ah, they always answer us. in great detail and I have done many questions tonight. So, I don't know, members of the council, I am the only one who He doesn't understand when they look at 1.1 million for moderate needs or other People, I don't know if my questions have sense or am I pushing them to a place constructive because I don't want to, I mean, I I can talk to Bell and have a private meeting to answer my questions questions, but when I see the I don't understand the presentation to take this correct interpretations or substantive. And if not, if that's the case, if it's just me, I can find out on my own. I think it's very It's important to make sure that it's understood. clearly here.

167That helps the public to understand and that's why I would give it up, because I don't want it to be It's super difficult for Bill because I'm... agreement because I can have a one-on-one conversation with Bill and I don't understand, and in the end, I I can say, "Ah, I understand now." But I I think it's important that the public knows this. understand and in In particular, we are entering negotiations with the BBEA union. These are difficult times and we don't know What will the future hold, but everyone We need to be on the same page. with the information. So, I want to ensure that the people who He needs to understand it beyond this They can understand it in the living room too. Jason, Yeah We're all talking here, the board. As you say,

168I appreciate the budgeting process, It can be intimidating for people who Follow that and the updates regulars. Thank you, Alex, for being in This individual is asking for more clarity and context. I believe that what is asking is reasonable to the extent that they are Well, Dr. Anderson Thank you. It would help me too. I I don't know what to ask. So, to the Unless you've asked the things that or the questions that I didn't know I I had one too. So, thank you. Jorge, thank you for the presentation today. I appreciate the focus on the budget and the details and broader context in he process. OK. I agree to have more context about the overall budget and not just the changes, but the discussion today about numbers that are unstable, that will to change

169and why, the context has been very useful. So, Thank you, Dr. Anderson. You can never have too much work to improve. I want to make this clear, This is a big part of our work and responsibility. My responsibility as superintendent to provide them with this budget balanced so that you understand and I appreciate the conversation we've had had this council table late. Many questions. That's what we should be talking about more. instead of less. So I want you to Let it be very clear, they don't worry about of the job title to do it correctly. We will ensure that we do it correctly. We have a team excellent that absolutely can answer the questions about budget. This, they have managed a budget for decades and want to do it in a way which makes sense

170to you Understand the volatility where it is stable. We want everyone to have the confidence in what we are doing. So, I appreciate the conversation. allow us to enter this or improve this process. I'm going to add one little thing. What can be context for that? There are more relationships than you might think. It is presented here, which is going to present challenges. So, those increases in this... personal education compensation special and then other services in the district, this incentive payments of the teachers for this substitute. Some of these are sub-masters of special education that The goal has been to give a summary to a high enough level so that it does not It can be super confusing, but it can also give sufficient detail of what it is from what It deals with change.

171Absolutely. Let's go work in those things comparisons, but they won't align perfectly because in a relationship one to Many of that somehow breaks the comparison in some cases, but let's go Let's try. I might like that for the future. I think that sometimes I have a low mood Understanding reservations and why we have so many different types of reservations. So, I think that There would be something more that would be good than the council understands the different types of reserve buckets And sometimes when you say, "I told at least four different types of reservations, but there may possibly be more. "There are six or seven." He's right. Already Updating my summary. Others funds, important points to others funds. Approximately 20 other funds accounting in the district. These are notable changes to some. Uh, this school

172fund community. We are closing the workshop district business with the restructuring of the education center technique, now Apex. Space is no longer It exists. We are making a transition of having a printing workshop and how I mentioned earlier making the transition paid online classes general fund. For the preschool fund It's the second year of preschool universal. I think it is Importantly, there is zero increase in the funding of that state program, while the focus of the work The legislative work has been in the Finance Law Schoolchildren. The legislature quietly restricts funds and does not They update them for inflation. So the rate wasn't raised this year inflation, and neither will next year. There are no additional funds from the State. So that's a restriction. additional in the General Operating Fund that has to support programming

173in other areas where we receive funding from State for the fund athletic. That's included in the changes. transfer. But to point them out again, inflation, this, security for the games, transport costs, 3.1 millions of total transfer, is the transfer for the athletic fund is risk management. Have $400,000 for compensation increases for the workers this property risks and then Charter schools 1.6 million is the estimated transfer for this income per student, this one too this one withdrawals from tax funds, then it's a fund of schoolchildren differentiated and also services of meal. We are warning here that no There are transfers related to compensation. So, the large number compensation several slides, includes compensation for the entire district. Like these other areas and other district programs are generally supported by the fund general. That's included in a number,

174But it's going to be a transfer eventually it is another one of these factors complicated, but there are cuts in the state due to the tax increase on income. What happened to the proposal? FF? There are two new items on the ballot. November that increase the financing. If they are not approved, the Funding will be solely for the schools that qualify in January for eligibility community. And the way in which write the law for these issues The ballot is due in November. of the changes legislative changes can lower the number of eligible community schools 37 to 5. Then it would be Arap San Sánchez Columbine, Justice's high school and Halsan. So let's see how The ballot measure turns out to be correct, but it may to have a impact on what we're going to see

175this year current if there are any changes that are They need [Music] in the middle of the year related to that that topic. I think we received 5 to 6 millions of dollars from the state to finance or related financing with this program free meals for all. Excuse me, Dr. Anderson, I'm asking about communicate the potential impact to the families in thinking. We had the money From the pandemic, we had lunch universally free for a period of time, then We don't have it, it's gone back. There was a lot confusion about communication that We have received around that and It doesn't feel very promising and it's going to be It's very disruptive to have a change in November in the programming. While We're waiting to see what happens with The ballot, I think, is giving

176the messages to the families that can change the things, that This would help us communicate with the community. I was going to say the same thing. A topic that will probably be discussed this fall is This is for informational purposes only. a session of work on the impacts and how we're going to relearn things and the change in labor costs of the workers or what we would need reserve for the rest of the year. So, we're going to have to have a conversation. Okay, so, is that okay? Should we prioritize it for the fall? In addition to the council discussion, I I think it's important to add it to the communications continuous. Next steps. So, The session ends on May 7th legislative. So, the topic of School lunches are pending, no It has happened, but

177it is in process. We'll find out in the next four weeks, if it has happened or not. Regarding the measure of ballot, we are going to continue refining the numbers. Things are going to change Absolutely, I hope not significantly, but we cannot control the legislature or the government federal.
