001Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to go ahead and reconvene back to open session. If you all please would stand and join me for the flag salute. >> Awesome. Put your name there. All right, Kayen. So, you're going to lead us and all you have to do is say, "Sleep." And they're all going to mimic what you say. >> Okay. You ready? >> Ready. Salute. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. Well, welcome everyone. Thanks for being here this evening. We'll begin with roll call. Miss White Spibo is not present. Miss Hunter, Mr. Flity, and our superintendent, Mr. Shoemaker. >> Thank you very much. If I could please
002get a motion for agenda item number one, the adoption of this evening's agenda. I move that we adopt the agenda as presented. >> Motion made there a second. >> Second that motion made. All in favor? I oppose. Great. Motion passes. Thank you. I have nothing to report out from closed session this evening. That leads us into our superintendent report. >> Right. Good evening. So nice to see so many families and kids here this evening. We're looking forward to hearing from you in a moment. Uh part of my role is just to share some of the amazing things that have happened since our last uh meeting. And I'm always this is my favorite part of the evening or after the kids of course. Um see is this guy working? There we go. So again, topics we
003covered. I did hear you loud and clear from our our meeting that we had uh last month just about not feeling like there's a need to fit something into every single one of those. So we are going to be missing two of these topics tonight. But I just as a reminder just highlighting the board's core focus goals. And I do have something really fun to something to make you smile at the end. Uh front line, this is just on this theme of continuous improvement. One of the things I've been telling you is I feel like um with our our teachers and our leadership, just the the rubber band is just about as taut as it can get. You know, like the slack we're pulling. And part of that, I think, is as we've talked about
004continuous improvement, I've been saying it for five years now. it. Um I'm realizing that uh in a lot of ways continuous improvement is starting to sound like we got to do more and versus we just got to get better or or just improve upon our practices. And so this is an example where we're just improving. uh the surveys that I got back feedback from the team on just how the district office is being run is um I'm maxed out with what I can do and I need either need stuff taken off my plate or I would like stuff taken off my plate or can we just get more efficient and smarter the way we do things. So I really appreciate um our HR department and Lisa working this is a frontline HR solution. The intent
005here is to really move into a 21st century model. uh we do a lot of it in a lot of different ways, but we all still we're still very paperheavy in in uh education. And so I'm excited. We're going to be um rolling out kind of behind the scenes this frontline HR solution over the next few months. Intend to go live with training in June. And the intent is to be able to um be able to share paperwork, get sign collect signatures, do onboarding, make sure that payroll is informed, just do a lot of the processes in a much more efficient way. Um and so uh the idea here is again that people feel heard with when they took their department services survey and their play experiences survey with our district office team that thank
006you for hearing me. Thank you for getting more efficient. Um and I think that efficiency I've been sharing with you behind closed doors. It's something that's weighing on me like just how do we just get more efficient with our folks because there's a lot of work on everyone's desk. Uh this is really fun. This is our universal basketball. I know Jamie, you were with me last year at the elementary. This is the high school uh version and Pleasant Grove participates in this. This was I believe was at Rolling Hills hosted it this year. Um and you can see our staff there, our kids. Remember these are some of our special needs kids that are partnered with a general education student and there that gen ed student is there to be their like their hype person.
007Just get them excited, feed them the ball. They're not supposed to be shooting. All the glory is supposed to be given to these kids. And so our kids uh as Amanda used the term, I won't say what she said, but they crushed it the competition. So they did really well there. Just fun to see that our teams and our kids are participating in that. Um I did want to again highlight this is Buckeye's emblem and I'm not trying to compare who has a better emblem. That's not what this was intended. Uh I I just wanted to share and recap and put a bow on the work that this district did supporting Oh, thank you so much. This got that pass. >> Thank you. >> Okay, Dustin assured me that that this can get passed around
008without anyone feeling awkward. Um, as you recall, uh, Buckeye, uh, two weeks ago had a, um, teacher that was murdered, uh, at Buckeye Elementary and, um, it happened over the spring break and just what a tragedy. I mean, I've gone I've gone, you know, we lost our HR person here two years ago, but not under that circumstances. And anytime you lose someone, it's can be really tough on an organization. to have it happen in the way it did was super tragic and they needed a lot of support. um their their group was off for the they were on their they have a winter break and so um I had reached out to uh the superintendent there and knew that they're they might not have counseling support and we had we were in session so we
009were able to send counselors over while because they opened up the campus uh two days later for kids, families, colleagues to come and just have a place to connect and talk, reminisce and just just be able to be with each other. And so we had our our counselors staff that and our counselors ended up staffing um the for the first two days when they came back too on Sunday night. Uh I got a text from um Mr. Roth and just was concerned that they weren't going to have the bandwidth to support um all the grief that was still going to be occurring. And so I mean right away we had uh two counselors that went over on Monday, spent almost the entire day there. And then on Tuesday, we had another counselor that went over
010um Dustin was at the um memorial service last week. Yeah. The visual and the principal could not have been more complimentary just of our team not just sending hey thoughts and prayers or hope you're doing well, but it was like what do you need? How can we be there? We offered to send administrators over because the administrative team needed some support there too. And so I I just um want to compliment our team and just publicly let the board know that you know when we talk about a culture of caring know the board proclamation that we passed um a couple months ago just this continuous improvement and culture of excellence that's grounded in caring uh that's what that looks like in real in practical um life and and David was was uh has been very
011complimentary of just our team leaning in uh on fiscal accountability this is always a hard one I've shared with you not this time. Um, Michael and I meet with the PTO presidents quarterly just to talk about what's going well, what are you struggling with, what how can we help? That's really the three questions that we ask. And one of the things they've just been talking about is I have why do I got to bring a checkbook every time I go to get a the PE or to buy anything practically or cash. C can we just get better with and we have implemented credit card but we we are moving to a platform here now that's going to allow all of our organizations our schools our PTO's to accept you can see the litany of areas
012where we're going to be able to take um uh payments from this is something that the PTO has been asking for they've been doing it individually and it's been linked to personal accounts it's just not great fiscal accountability so I know that they're excited by that um the fact that we're going to be able to offer offer this to them. And again, it's just an example of um folks letting us know what's working and what's not. And when it's not, like, okay, well, how do we make that a little bit better? Okay. And I don't know if this video is going to play. Dustin taught me how to insert a link, but it doesn't look like it worked. Can we exit out? And if not, I can send it to the board. I tease frequently.
013I'm so glad I'm not managing the technology back there at least in Tustin Park. So, this is a this is a video uh at Jackson Elementary. You're going to hear from Jackson next month. The their VAPA program is really important to them. This is a behind the scenes. I got to go backstage and this is the the the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth graders getting ramped up. Our first, second, and third graders getting ramped up and excited for their play. Um, you can see our teacher Karen um get it leading them. And I'm I'm not sure if their custodian Dustin is in the picture here. Um or not Dustin. Um Oh my gosh, Daniel. Thank you. I got D. Oh, here we go. I just thought that was super cute. The play was so
014well done. And what I uh really appreciate about the campus there, um Daniel, the custodian, I think he's been now in the last four straight plays, he's taken on a larger role. And Karen was sharing with the audience just that he has a a big role that on each of these, you kind of have have to have an adult that's in there to actually I don't they probably could have done this without Daniel. It was so well done. But having him there, I think, was reassuring for kids. He's just such a great guy. But they said he once he finds out what his job is and what all the songs are, he's got it all downloaded on his AirPods and he's walking around singing, practicing his so he really gets into it. Daniel's family comes
015each year and and watches him. He's got adult children that come and watches just it's just such a fun event. And thank you Dustin and Lisa for figuring out how to do the uh technology piece on that. I think that might be my Yeah, these next ones are empty. That's it from me. Thank you. >> Questions for our soup clarifications? Any of the above? All right. Fantastic. Uh that is then has us moving on to celebrating excellence. And this evening we are fortunate to have Lake View Elementary School. >> Oh, thank you so much for having us this evening. I have um some wonderful people who are going to actually be doing the majority of the presentation. So um thank you. It's uh the month of March Madness for us right now. And though it's
016not basketball that we are having the madness over, it's just a lot of stuff. We have had a dance performance. We have had lots of PTO events and um we're prepping for state testing and and there's a lot of excitement right before spring break. So um we're going to go over a few things just about Lake View. Um we have 506 students. We have 21 classrooms. Uh two PE teachers, one that's split with Green Valley, two music teachers, um one of them and they're both shared with all the um with most of the elementary schools. one educational specialist, one speech teacher, one speech um one school uh psychologist, one school counselor, um one art and STEM teacher, Miss Lissa, who's here in the front. >> Um two secretaries, one health nurse, one district nurse, one
017library u media clerk, 11 par educators, and that's from TK to intervention to SPED. We have eight yard supervisors, three custodians, and one volunteer from our nana program. um she is a a nana who comes and reads with some of our students and one garden coordinator. So this year um with the presentations we're kind of picking two focus or a focus area. So instead of going over all of the amazing events which we have so many um I'm just picking two. So two amazing things that have happened this year at Lake View is Lake View celebrated its 20th um birthday celebration. Um, and then we also have started an amazing program called Project Lead the Way with our fourth and fifth grade students. So, this is our 20th anniversary picture with all of the students
018and we invited back past staff members. Kathy Miracle came back, um, past secretaries, past teachers, and we got to have cupcakes and sing the Lake View song and just celebrate 20 years of Lake View. And so this is a picture that we took together and I don't know if the video will play either. Um but it was just a really fun video that the the kids did this all on their own and um a member of the PTO captured it. Um they started a let's go Eagles chant. I don't know if it'll >> Oh, okay. Well, that's right. Right. Isn't that what we did? It was let's go Eagles and the kids did it all completely on their own. It was really special. So, um very fun um event too. And now the big part
019of the presentation. So, we have um a fourth grader Kaden here and we have five fifth graders as well that are going to be presenting on our project lead the way program. Okay, Kaden, come on up. So, Miss Lissa helped talk teach us about the movement of energy, solar energy, and battery power. We did tons of fun projects to help learn, including discussing how energy transfers. So, we had energy transfer through potatoes and it worked out awesome. And then at the end of the year, we're going to have a project where we're going to build our own windmill to create energy. Not only are we doing project lead the way with Miss Lissa, but we're also doing it with our teachers in class. So, this is one of the projects we did in class. We
020had to create a prosthetic for an animal. So, me and my group of friends at in my class, we needed to make a beak for an owl and we needed to have the beak be able to kill the prey and carry it home like a owl would have in real life. And then we used some materials like clay and toothpicks to help us create it. We had to be very creative to make it and it ended up looking amazing. So, and then we had to repair and retra of what worked and what we could have improved and we could have improved having the beak stick a little more and like things like that. And we also did really good making sure like it looked real. It even had a tongue though you couldn't see it.
021It looked awesome. And we made the beak like not droop down and look realistic. And it make it be able to open and close so that it would have if it was a real it would have worked. >> That was really >> perfect. Okay. Okay. So, that's our fourth graders. Um, and so our fifth graders are also doing Project Lead the Way in the classroom, but we're going to focus um on the Project Lead the Way robotics program that they're doing with Miss Lissa. So, we have McKenna Briggs. Oh, they're all online. Nikki, Luke, and Vivian that are going to present on our robotics program. Today we are going to share what we learned during our robotics project using project lead the way VEX components. We explored how robots are used in the real world,
022designed our own toys, and work together to build and test robots. What are what are robots used for? We started by learning about what robots are used for. Robots help people do jobs that can be dangerous or difficult. For example, robots can help explore deep oceans or space, help doctors during surgery, build things in factories, and even help clean up after natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. Robots have helping after natural disasters. One important job robots can do is help after natural disasters. Sometimes it's not safe for people to enter damaged buildings or dangerous areas. Robots can search for people, move derby, deliver supplies, and explore places that might be too risky for rescue workers. These are some pictures of a robot picking up things and moving it to a different location. Designing our
023own toys. Next, we became toy designers. Using VEX components, we created our own toy ideas. We had to think about what would make our toy fun and interesting for kids to play with. Creating toy advertisements. After building our toys, we created advertisements for them. Just like companies do, we had to explain what makes our toy special and why someone would want to buy it. Then we presented our toy ideas to the class. Building a robot together. Next, we worked as a team to build a robot chassis. A chassis is the base or frame of a robot. Building the robot required teamwork and careful attention to the directions. Driving the robot. Once our robot was built, we got to drive it around the classroom. We practice steering, controlling the robot, navigating around the obstacles, >> and
024then um Luke and Vivian are going to come over and show you one of our robots and drive it around the the boardroom. Okay. >> And they built these robots from scratch. So they had when they said we had to follow the directions, they really had to detailed follow the directions to create these robots. That's slow. That's fine. >> What we learned through this project, we learned many important skills. We learned about robotics and engineering, but we also learned how important teamwork and patience are when working with others. Our biggest lesson, one of the biggest lessons we learned that learned that is is that engineers work together and don't give up when something doesn't work the first time. They keep trying, learning, and helping each other. Thank you so much for coming. Do you have
025any questions? question. >> That was really, really cool. So, thank you guys for showing us that. And, uh, if you have some that can help like pick up toys around our houses, that maybe clean up after your brothers and sisters, that would be super cool. Thank you. >> Have a question. Was that entire process fun? Heavy. >> Yeah, it was fun and easy. >> Fun and easy. >> My group me still really got to track. >> Can you each tell me one thing that made it fun? What was fun about any part of that process? >> What I honestly think was um fun about it was it was basically like a Lego with all you these different parts from scratch. You put it all together and you create something unique. I thought it was fun
026like because you like got to build it with like somebody else. Maybe you didn't know them that much. You got to work together with someone new. >> Uh I liked that it showed so much creativity in what you do and it just made me so happy that we get to do something fun in STEM and art and stuff. I just liked it because we got to work with like as like a group and sometimes we don't ever do that so like we got to have a chance to do it. >> Yeah, just really fun to build it with your friends. super fun to do learning in a really fun way, right? Yeah, I think that's amazing. Great job. Great job, teachers. >> I love this. This was this was that was actually my question. You
027did you did steal my thunder on it. But I have um I have a couple more. But so is this something you guys do during the school day or is it something you choose to do after school? >> Yes, we do a school day. It's during the school day. >> Have a specific time on Friday like he said >> that we would do >> and um we would do it. >> Yeah. >> And then I have a question for all y'all cuz I don't know which one of you will know the answer but we had a board meeting I don't know like a few weeks ago and we were trying to decide like some of the things we would love to hear in the presentation. By the way, you guys hit it out of the
028park. You guys did a fantastic job. But the other thing we were hoping to look for is if you could share three things that are coming up that you guys are excited about at your school because some of us might want to come and go to some of them and we don't know everything that's going on. So if there's stuff that you guys can think of that are that are coming up, please share >> that you're like, "Oh yeah, we have whatever a dance or >> uh this Friday we have >> Okay, there we go. Right out of the gate. We're going to the Bozac Science Museum. >> And next we have a pool party at like CSG, I'm pretty sure. >> And then we also have clap out and breakfast. >> Oh yeah. >>
029What is it? The >> Don't we have the St. Patrick's Day? >> No. >> And then we have the fifth BT fifth B teachers kickball game. >> When's that? >> Um The fifth graders play the teachers >> and we call >> we >> half the time we >> Okay, >> I don't think they good to know. Maybe we can get that exact date. >> I I kind of feel like I need to see that. So, okay. >> The fourth graders. So, we've all been learning about a character and somebody who is important to history. And we're doing the wax museum where we dress up about somebody who is historically famous. >> Yeah. >> And we teach other people all about their lives. >> I love that. That is fantastic. Not yet. I think Yeah, we
030have to >> um And one fun thing too, if you've liked this this robotics presentation, we are um doing a whole STEM week at Lake View the last week of March where um the lower grades do STEM projects with Miss Larissa as well. So, they're doing exploration with some of those STEM projects that they've done. And um we're bringing in a STEM assembly as well. And then the fifth graders are going to present to the fourth graders about the robotics program to get the fourth graders ready. >> Perfect. Thanks. >> Oh, great. Thank you. Um the real application learning I think is the best part. Of course, all the academia is important, but learning how to work with each other and problem solve and come up with a plan and to achieve that. There isn't,
031um, well, those skills are valuable everywhere you go in everything that you do. So, um, congratulations both to the school and teaching that and all of you achieving that. So, thanks for being here tonight. And I think we might have Hawaiian shirt theme next month. I just want I just want to add that it's been fun to watch all of you grow the last five years for sure. But um the joy and just the confidence that you had standing up here. I mean I remember my first board meeting five years ago and I was shaking with nerves and I thought you both were so confident and Kaden keep using that like I love what' you say you said it was a it looked awesome. Like I think you used awesome three times to describe something
032you were doing. I love that confidence. So, just keep keep having that awesome spirit and just know you guys are doing a great job. Bucket filling uh evening for sure. >> Great job. >> Thank you. >> So, this has us moving um to not necessarily the more exciting part of our agenda. So, um it is not uncommon at this time if there are other things this evening that some of you maybe need to um attend like reading before bedtime and dinner and >> thank you for coming. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right, this has us moving on to public comment portion of our agenda. This item is placed on the agenda for the purpose of providing members of the public and bargaining unit representatives the opportunity to address the board on any
033items of business that does not appear on the formal agenda. Each speaker will be given two minutes to speak from the chamber and the clock on the screen will countdown. Um, under the Brown Act, however, the trustees are not allowed to comment on items that are not agendaized. However, we can refer those to our superintendent and cabinet to follow up with our community. For items that are on this evening's agenda, I'll identify the appropriate time for members from the chamber to speak to that. This has us then moving to agenda item number two, which is CSBA delegate assembly election ballot. Um this is a presentation from our superintendent. It is an action item. >> Yeah. So, the California School Board um association has a delegate assembly. It serves as the primary governance body for um
034CSBA and uh delegates that are selected represent local school districts um by region and they play a role in shaping CSBA's policy, their advocacy priorities, budget um legislative platform and just any type of statewide initiatives. Um we have the opportunity tonight and I'm recommending that the board cast its vote in favor of Misty Dvtorio. She's a trustee from Plasterville. Um she will be serving a two if if selected she'll serve a two-year and we're not the only selection body. Um we're just one of one of many. But um if selected by the uh sub we're sub region 6C if if uh that group selects her Misty would serve uh April uh April 2026 until March of 2028. Yeah. >> Thank you very much. Any public comment? Any discussion? Is there >> shall a motion to
035approve uh our nominee Misty Dvtorio uh for the CSBA delegate assembly? >> There should be a second. All in favor? >> Oppos. >> Thank you very much. I push passes. Congratulations, please. Well, good evening. Just speaking to resolution 2601, uh, education code 45117A and B requires notice to be given to affected employees a minimum of 60 days prior to the effective date of the layoff. The district is proposing the elimination or reduction in days for the following positions, and they're listed in the board packet, but I will um go ahead and read them. Um, there is a a yard supervisor position of 30 minutes uh an instructional assistant interventionist um that's an hour, a kindergarten instructional assistant that is two hours, an IIF that is 6 hours and a yard supervisor position that is 3
036hours. And along with this resolution just to provide the board with some context for those reductions, uh we do have a position that uh is the IIF position that is being reduced. It was funded through PTO funds and then is being reduced based on that. We have a yard supervisor position that was created or that was added uh when we had the solar projects that was being put into place. It was meant to be a temporary position that now that that project is concluding that we don't have a need for that additional position. And then we have an employee that's returning from a leave of absence who actually uh and it's not uncommon to have classified positions where you you'll have somebody that will have a variety of positions. This person serves as a kindergarten
037instructional assistant as well as an intervention IIIA and then also participates as a 30-minute yard supervisor and then um supervises breakfast for our students during that time. So that person is returning to work. So So that being said, um periodically we uh when those changes occur that we need to bring a resolution to the board and so at this time um presenting uh resolution 2601 as a recommendation to be approved to reduce or eliminate those positions. Thank you, Dustin. And doesn't appear there's any public comment. Any discussion? If no discussion, can I get a motion to approve resolution number 2601? >> I move that we approve resolution 2601. >> Thank you. Is there a second? >> I'll second that. >> Motion made in second. All in favor? I oppose. Wonderful. Motion passes. Thank you. Mr.
038Haley, you are up again for agenda item number four, CSEA negotiation opener. >> Thank you. Um uh we we've already uh provided this um this item for our certificated bargaining unit. And so at this time um this is an opportunity to present the openers for the California School Employee Association uh chapter 737 for bargaining negotiations. And so at this time um CSEA uh has presented the district with the following topics to be discussed in negotiations. Uh and just to to go over those with the board, uh they're presenting article 4 which is grievance procedures, article 15 health benefits, article 16 salary, and then a proposal for a new article that is related to technology and AI usage. And just so that the board knows, every 3 years the entire contract is open for negotiations. uh
039when it is not open um each um both the district and the u the certificated or classified bargaining unit can open two articles and then uh compens or salary and health benefits is always available for u for negotiations. The district uh for their openers will be opening article five working hours, article six vacation, article again 15 health benefits and article 16 salary. So, at this time, we need to schedule uh a date for public comment during our next board meeting, which would be on April 14th. And it is our recommendation that the board establish that date for public comment on those openers. >> Thank you very much. Uh any public comment on this agenda item? Seeing none, any discussion? Seeing no discussion, can I please get a motion? I'll approve agenda number four, the CEA
040negotiation openers. >> Thank you. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Motion made second. All in favor? I oppose. Great. Motion passes. Thank you, Mr. Haley. >> Thank you. >> Agenda item number five, which is the second interimm budget update. Donaldson, I believe you've got the podium on this one. Good evening. >> Good evening. >> Um, this is not going to be nearly as exciting as the robots we just saw, but I will do my best. Let's see. Okay. As with every budget presentation, we always remember to that our budget is built with a promise that we're going to provide every child an opportunity to succeed in school. And in order to do that, we have to have the proper resources, support, and interventions. And this is that affirmation that we bring to every single
041presentation for our budget. This is a reminder of our timelines. Um, first interim we did in December has to be done by December 15th. Second interim is due by March 15th. Why are we here today? During those two interim budget reports, we have an obligation to determine if we are able to meet our obligations. And we do that by a certification of either positive, qualified, or negative. A positive certification indicates that we can meet our financial obligations not only this year but over the next two following years. Qualified means that we can do it this year but probably not in one or both of the next of the two years. And a negative is when we are unable to meet in the current year in addition to those following years. Um spoil alert or positive.
042So that's the good news. I always like to start there. I like to start at the end with these financial cycle. We had uh for the 2526 school year. We started with a public hearing in June along with the board approval the following week. December, as we mentioned, was first interim. Today is our second interim. In June, we'll be bringing it back with an update to the board. It's not an official budget time, but we're bringing back the budget adoption. And in order to do next year's budget adoption, we'd like to make sure we have this year as up to date as possible. We will close out the year in September and then in December, we'll have an audit report that will be brought to the board in in January. So, right now, we are
043ticking away at a little halfway over this year's cycle. Included in this revision is our um revenue assumptions that are updated. We're going to look at um our expenditures updated sters and pers update and a look into the future. And with all of that, we'll have updated budget assumptions and we'll be looking at some attendance trends as well. So our assumptions are slightly different than they were at first interim. 2526 has not changed. 2627 I am using the recommended 2.41 that the state has uh recommended for our cola next year. We are a little bit closer. There's still some talk at the capital about what that cola is going to finally land at. We we still have not heard an official word. Our 2728 is the same as it was at first interim 2.92 which
044is about a half a percent lower than they're recommending. I'm still trying to be a little bit conservative on those outy years. Our enrolled ADA versus our funded ADA has all been updated as well. It's trending pretty close to where we were at first interim. It's not too different. Um, our stirs and pers rates have been updated with um, stirs is still indicating that they will be flat for this year and our outy years. Our PERS rate is projected to slightly decline next year and then go back up in uh, 2728. We are settled for the 2526 year as far as salaries go, but we are not settled for 2627 or 2728 in with either of our uh um partners CSEA or our teacher groups. One-time funds. Right now, we h are ending our multi-year
045educator effectiveness. Uh what's not listed there is we also did receive this year 1 point a little over a million dollars in one-time discretionary funds. I did not put any one-time funds into the 2627 budget yet because I I nothing's settled yet with our budget. May revise we'll know a little bit more. So when we bring the budget back in June, we'll have a little bit better indication of where those onetime dollars are going to be. Right now, they're trending to be about 1.7 if it stays the way it was projected in January. Those funds could be rolled into ongoing, which is what I would be hopeful for. So, let's just I just want to wait and see where those funds are actually going to end up. We do estimate for retirees coming up in
0462627 and 2728. And I um believe that's right, but I actually think there might be one more retiree for 2627. So I think I missed a retiree on that one. For our enrollment history, I just want to show the um blue bars are enrollment. The orange line is our actual ADA and then the gray line is what we're funded at. So you can see typically we're funded a little bit higher than our actual ADA and but you can also see that that gray line is fairly stable the last couple years. So there has been some slight adjustments. This year we're funded on prior year ADA. Uh next year we'll probably be funded on prior year ADA again unless we see a little bit more. But we're we're so flat right now that it's um really
047bumping up against, you know, do we have one or two more ADA than last year? That puts us into current year versus prior year. So um but by 2728, we're projecting to be funded back on that three-year average. Um, and again, I do run our attendance projections a little bit conservatively, which I'm actually glad we I have been because our enrollments for next year are not coming in as strong as they did this time last year. So, um, until they're actually in our seats, then we can count them. But right now that we're projecting a little conservatively. As always, I have our first interim to second interim comparisons. A lot of numbers and we are going to uh dive into those just a little bit. This is just a pie chart of how our revenues
048come in. And you can see the LCFF which is our local control funding formula is almost 80% of our revenues. So getting our attendance and estimates right for that calculation is really really critical to the bulk of our of our assumptions. Our federal is really declined. You can see it's 1%. Um it's never been a huge part of our budget but it it really is dropping. And uh I did estimate everything. I did put a couple of the um title programs that had been removed. I did pull put a couple of them back in, but I put them all in at about 80% of what we got received this year. And I'm going to it's it's just so hard to estimate. And I'm going to give you an example. Our title one uh four years
049ago was $280,000 and this year is 144. And it has fluctuated like that between there the last four years. You know, it went from 280, it went down to 165, then it went up to 230, and then this year it's 144. So it it's so inconsistent that it's really hard to put in really good programs for our schools with our title funds and we want to be able to use it all and then we get that big drop. So then that kind of kicks in from our general fund to make sure that those programs don't end up losing services or the students don't lose services for that. This is a just a picture of what the local control funding formula looks like. You can see the um at the bottom the base grant that is
050the number of students attendance rates times each rate for each of the grade spans. There is a grades span adjustment which is for our um TK through third grade gets a little bit additional to keep those classes smaller. We do have supplemental grant based on those unduplicated pupils which are English learners, low-income and foster youth. They're um they generate a little bit more uh almost 1.5 million supplemental funds. We use those to support our counselors. That funding primarily does counselors. It does our AVID program and it does a few other supports for Pleasant Grove and all of our schools. We also have um some one-time dollars. We have uh some uh or I shouldn't say onetime dollars, our targeted instructional improvement block grant. That's some funding from 2012 that was just rolled into our formula
051base. And then we have our home to school transportation and our our TK add-on. So those are all the pots that um support our LCFF revenue changes since first interim. So going back to that big chart with all those numbers, this is what's changed since first interim. We're estimating uh just under $200,000 more revenue. Uh we're actually projecting about 40,000 less in our LCFF just because the ADA is tracking a little bit lower than I was tracking it at first interim. A slight bump for federal um less for our state funding, less lottery and less in our expanded learning opportunities program. The bulk of the income is all coming from our local donations. So, we don't count those donation dollars in our revenues until we actually collect them. And that's primarily for field trips, um,
052promotions. So, we're starting to do a our schools are doing a lot of collecting for a lot of field trips that are coming up. So, that's really kicking in. Our wellness grant also came in slightly higher than I had projected. I had projected 240,000 and it's coming in at 266. So, there's a little bit more for the wellness grant. And that wellness grant is what we're using. It's um a grant we received from the Elorado County Office of Ed. And that is the that are the funds that are supporting our PBIS facilitators at three of our sites. Second in expenditure uh pie chart shows that 80% of our expenditures are salary uh dedicated to salaries. We also have um some other things, some book supplies. Our services right now, our services are really trending high
053right now um just because we're having some a hard time filling some of our aid instructional aid positions. So, we do have a little bit more expenditures than we would normally there. So, our expenditures have increased uh 226,000 and the reason is we have a little bit more in salaries primarily. We had a principal substitute that we um needed to add into the budget for this year. We have an increase in aid support and then we had some benefit corrections. So, that all netted to those differences. We have um books and supplies increased just under 33,000 primarily that's coming from site donations. You can see 44,000 of it was site donations. We did move some of that to support. So sometimes things get moved around within our pots and we actually had in our budget
054the salary for one of our PBIS facilitators and we had a placeholder for the last remaining $33,000 of our art and music block instructional block grant that we got a couple years ago. We had 33,000 of it left. So and we didn't have any plans for it. So I actually moved or 31,000. So I moved that out of books and supplies to cover that to help our general fund. So it's supporting the PE one of the PBIS facilitators for one year. Um we have some uh komochi kits that our counselors needed some of the counseling kits and so we had a little bit more for that. Our services and contracts increased quite a bit again primarily because of site donations. 98,000 um services and contracts for those include field trips, buses, um and admissions. So
055that's primarily all in that. We had a few things that were reduced that offset that capital outlay increased 106,000 and that is primarily from a PTO shade structure. And so we do have as part of those big donations that we rece that we saw in revenues, 115,000 of it came from PTO uh for one of our sites that is donating uh to purchase some shades at one of our playgrounds. So, something new that we're going to talk about tonight, and it's not necessarily new, but I haven't talked about it in a in a while. And um it we're we're really needing to start talking about it now, is our true operating deficit. And essentially what that is is it's also known as the structural deficit. But what it is is it's how much are we
056spending above and beyond our actual revenue. So do our expenditures are they truly more than our revenues when we adjust it for one-time things? So if we pull out things that we're just doing one time, whether it's onetime revenue, one-time expenditure, what does that do to our budget? And so when we take a look at some of these things that we have that are one time in nature in our unrestricted side, what does that tell us about our true ongoing deficit? And when we make these adjustments, we actually find that while this year we are deficit spending um 2.7 almost 2.8 8 million. Really, once we've adjusted it for all these one-time things that we have, we do have a true ongoing deficit of about 1.5 million. So, that is something that we're going to
057have to really start addressing. And as we look forward into our multi-year, we're going to see what that's doing to our reserves. This is what our historical stirs and pers employer rates have been. Um, so if you look at the top small chart, it just shows where we started back in 1314 with employer rates and what those rates have done over the last excuse me uh 13 14 years, excuse me. um and how those have increased over the years. So, our um Thank you. our um PERS rates went from 11.4% and they're trending to be 26.9 and our stirs rate was 8.25% and it's it's been 19.10 for a while, but it's more than double that what it was. And while our it is a percentage of of um our salaries, so we would expect
058that the total amount would go up. But if you really look at it, the total amounts going up, yes, because our costs are increasing, but when you multiply that on top of the rates increasing at the rate they have been, we're we're really spending a lot of money. We are almost we're at um I want to say let me look I think 6.5 6.6% 6% I mean million right now just in PERS rates or PERS costs stirs and PERS um when we look at our multi-year assumptions when we look at our multi-year assumptions um we are looking at the 2.41% 41%. That means we're going to get just under a million dollars in increased funding for our um revenue. We do have the last year of the educator effectiveness this year, so that's not included
059in any outy years. We do continue to get our Prop 28 for art and music. We're using this still one year in a rears. So, we will always have an extra year in our back pocket should that ever be uh voted out or if the governor ever puts a hold on it. We don't know right now what any one-time funding is. So, again, I did not put in that 1.7 estimated million dollars um in the budget at this point. Could be something that to help build our reserves. And our reserves, as I just mentioned, they're holding, but we we do have some reductions built in. So, I did assume next year a reduction of about $50,000 in our facility repairs and $50,000 in our computer replacement program. So, those two have been assumed to pull
060out of our budget just to help with not having to dig so far into our reserve so quickly. Right now, we don't have any changes to staffing. And once we know for sure, there are some positions that we're holding to hire because we don't have the enrollment quite yet, but we do have some placeholders for them. So, we'll see by the end of summer. Last year, we had Sorry, I don't know. >> Did the same thing to me. We do have um some classes that we just have kind of open but holding until we actually see last summer we had quite a few enrollments at a couple of sites that required us to open that other one. So I don't want to actually pull any staffing from our budget quite yet. So we'll we'll see.
061This is what our multi-year looks like right now. Um, this is for our total. So, this is restricted and unrestricted funds. And this is where our reserves are landing us. So right now we do have um 10% in reserves but I do want to note that our unrestricted only side which is you know the money that doesn't come with strings um by that third year out is at about 11% total. So you can see our um assigned un uh goes from that row D assigned goes from 3.7 million right now it drops to 378,000. So when we come back in June with the budget, we will have fiscal year 2829 added to this and um we'll need to see where that where that takes us and what what budget assumptions we're going to need to
062make for that. >> Lisa, are you able to can you go back real quick? >> Yeah. >> I'm sorry. No. Are you able to forecast based on trends and data what that 28 29 year is going to look like in regards to how um those four columns are trending? >> Um yes. Um, I I haven't looked quite yet. And a lot of it is going to depend on, you know, how much do we are we going to project in cola? Is it going to be higher or lower? But based on where we're at right now, um I would say we're probably going to drop down to roughly 8% 7 and 12%. So I don't know at this point what things um I may recommend that we tweak in our budget in order to maintain our
06310%. >> Thank you. And it will also depend on again if we get this 1.7 million that will hold us and we can actually drop that into reserves so that we can kind of hang on for that one more year. Um and again these are the things that we're just that will impact that and wishing I had my crystal ball. um how our enrollment's going to hold. If our enrollment continues to hold or not, that's going to be another big factor. Right now, we're assuming some decline um but not a lot of decline. So, so long as we don't have any big hits in our enrollment where they decline faster than I'm projecting, we should be okay. May revise and final budget. So, we'll see that uh in our June update. And however, the state
064continues to hold uh handle their state deficits is going to be the impact. And then, of course, we still have negotiations coming up. You heard that we're just getting ready to work with our CSEA partners and we're looking at dates. I think we're meeting with our teacher partners next Friday. Next Friday. Next Friday. There you go. Any questions >> for once again always a detailed presentation. Um any questions? This is um an action item. So if there's any comment from our chamber or the public at this time? Seeing none, um I'll open it up to our trustees with some discussion or questions for Lisa. Mr. Flity, >> we're he stole my question, so >> Oh, >> I'm good. Mics think alike. >> Okay. With that being said, just would you care for the microphone? Okay.
065With that being said, then um it moves us then to needing a motion to accept the second interimm budget update. >> Can everybody hear me if I make a motion? Uh I move that we approve the second interim uh budget. >> I second. >> Motion made and second. All those in favor? I oppose. Great. Motion passes. Thank you very much. Uh this has us moving to consent in which we are um simply needing a motion. Nothing to pull. All are present eligible to vote. If I can get a motion, please. >> We approve consent agenda as is. >> Wonderful. Thank you. Second on that. >> Second that. >> Thank you. Motion made in second. All in favor? I oppose. >> Great. Uh Miss White, if you do the honors.
