Board Meeting

001Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, the board would like to reconvene here into open session. If you all please would stand and join me for the flag salute. Ready? Begin. I pledge allegiance 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. Great. Thank you very much. We'll move to agenda item number one, which is the adoption of the agenda. Can I get a motion, please? We adopt the agenda. Thank you. A second. Motion made in second. All in favor? I. Motion passes. Thank you. We did take roll call um prior to going to close session. I do want to note that um Kim White and Michael Flity are not present at this time. Um there is

002nothing to report out from close session. So, we'll move on to superintendence report at this time. Okay. All right. Good evening. See if I can get this clicker to work there. So, uh tonight uh as you know, we're just tying our uh the superintendent report to the board focus goals that we adopted in December. And I've got a fun one of my favorite something to make you smile slides at the end uh this today. Um so, this just on our continuous improvement journey that we're on. Um, this is a picture of our RISE summer school program. They had a PD day last Friday. I want to say it was got over 40 staff members that are at Lake Forest right now. Uh, it's u larger than a normal school. Uh, almost 520 kids that are

003going in there. I think in this picture we had about 33 teachers. Um, what I'm most proud of with this picture is every single teacher on that campus right now except for two. and hopefully we're going to be hiring those two is a rescue union school district teacher. So I think it's a real testament when when uh we rolled this out right after COVID we had three teachers I think that were there and the rest it was like 97% 95% were from so that's when Amy um Amy Borne was teaching she was recruiting from LA we had teachers from from LA I think you remember we had one that loved it up here so much that she moved her whole family up after Rise we hired her after the rise school program so um I'm

004have been able to be there almost every single morning and Um, you know, you think that summer school, well, at least my experience was the one time I did three days of summer school when I was these kids' age was I did not want to go. And these kids show up on campus, they're excited. I uh every single staff member I've talked to is just uh just so complimentary. Um they do a really nice job for summer school there. And yes, there's a lot of academics, but they've also woven in just a lot of really fun learning that goes on, things you normally can't do during a school year. It's been really nice to hear families say how happy they are to send their kids off and that we offer. We're we're one of the

005only districts in the region that offers um a summer program like this. So, um pretty cool. Our student support our band I I know I included this in my board report, but up in the upper left is the Pleasant Grove band. uh at 6:00 is the Marina Village band and then Milo uh Milo's uh up there on the right. This the reason our bands are so successful is we have incredibly talented teachers. Um and it starts uh with teacher S and Mila and finds its way all the way through up through 8th grade. They um it did it didn't matter what you looked at if you I don't know if you read that or not, but top to soloist in the entire event, top performing band. And then my favorite was both bands got the

006Espri Decor award, which is just like does your does your group have that just that that collegiality and love for each other and genuine love of music? And both both of our middle school bands uh won that. And there was a really nice article in the uh Village Life that came out this week uh that we put together on this. So, if you haven't seen that, it's on our it's you can go on to our website, too, and just click on in the news and you can it'll take you right to the article and our back to it's on under student support. Our students benefit from this. You go over to the marine uh to Oakidge and the Ponderosa band. I've been able to go by the school there at Oakidge. They're out there practicing

007right now. their Facebook pages ex they always do a great job of um discontinuing what uh Ben and Sean have sent these kids off to at the high school level and it's the reason they've been so successful there. Uh this is one of our um our bus drivers. Uh David Lisa and I got to go to an event I don't know three or four it's been a while three or four weeks ago. Uh it's a bus driver. Um the whole county is there. And I'm happy to say I think Lisa, you and I and I think maybe Buckeye were the only um super superintendent, assistant superintendent that showed up with our team. We've done it the last few years. Um and I know our team does appreciate the fact it's a Friday night. It's a

008really nice event, but you're you are giving up a Friday night, but it's it's very fun. And David here won an award for driving a school bus, which is incredibly difficult, but he's done it so far for 10 years without any incident. That's the CHP officer there saying, "I haven't I haven't given you a ticket or had to come investigate a uh any type of backing up accident or anything like that." And uh we last year, I think we had two or three people that received awards for 10 and 15 and 20 years. um our commitment to community. On the right hand side, these are two young ladies that uh work for um gosh, I think, yeah, it's indulgent. It's a uh portable coffee bar. And so, Hills Church uh reached out to us, uh

009Kari Murray, uh who has got um bunch of family here in the district now. They were all up in Camino and they've all Yeah. and children that are here in our district. and she had reached out to Jen and I and just said, "We want to we want to plug into your school district more than we have." And um what could that look like? So, she met with us right before staff appreciation. And so, this is a they did a staff appreciation at Green Valley and one at Pleasant Grove. Staff were able to pre-order a drink of their choice. Um we sent those in the night before. They showed up in the morning, started making them, and then we had um district office staff and students delivering drinks to the classrooms all morning, and if

010they if they forgot, they could make a drink. We had our our HVAC uh tech came over to work at the district office. He got it. Tim, I think you even went up there and got something. A berry lemonade. Yeah. So, all the district office staff were treated to it. And so, um, we start off with this, but what we're intending on doing is, uh, the Hills church would like to partner us partner with us monthly and kind of like what we've done with the, um, the laundry mat and the soap through the Flity Foundation and through Greg and Rita Fero and Sierra Suds, like how do we how do we create some partnerships where we're really leaning into our families that need us most? So, we've talked about how could Hills Church help us

011with the um our clothing drive and our our our kickoff event in August that we started uh uh last year. And so, they'll they'll be there for that. And then also, how do we bridge the gap when when our neediest students head home for a week off? So, at Thanksgiving, how are we providing can we send those families home with a week's worth of food? at Christmas time, how are we making sure that these families are fed for two weeks and can we can Hills church raise funds and and and provide gifts and things of that nature? And that the beauty of this is they're they're just being great. They have a uh initiative called for the 50. So, it's for Highway 50. And they don't this was not advertised as a church event as

012a Hills church. They didn't pass out any literature saying, "Hey, please come see us on Sunday." None of that. it was just we just want to plug in. We don't even want to be mentioned. Um we just want to have a better partnership which was fantastic. So I'm looking forward to seeing Jen's leading this initiative with them right now and I'm looking forward to seeing where that's going to go. On the left hand side is Michael Flity there. You can see he's the tall one. Um with the with his kids uh Jen's there, Michelle Winberg's there. Uh Soul um our community resource specialist is there. And then a lady from Aspire Kids. This was an event that was put on at Green Valley. It was kind of a lastm minute thing which we don't typically

013do. Um but Jen like I think I can pull this together in two weeks. It was uh so we Aspire Kids came down. Flity Foundation provided the food and the family worked the event. Basically there's some there's resources that are offered. There's food. There's clothing and um there's an event. So we had the fire department rescue fire department came down. every kid got to play with a fire hose and then there was an activity for the families to do together. but really was just an opportunity to plug them in with um local resources and Aspire Kids wants to do this on a we're trying to get on to where we're on a monthly rotation partner with Flarity Found Flarity Impact Foundation, Aspire Kids and um Hills Church and of course our school system for supporting

014uh as many families as we can. And they'll all be at the August event as well. There's a great picture I wanted to put in there of Michael. They ran out of pizza and which never happens at these we have these events I've told you before if we get four to one time we had 10 uh I think my second year and now they are really really well attended and I'm hoping we've just started building some momentum and a lot of trust with our community uh but uh sorry we ran out of pizza there's a pizza picture of Michael Ran to the Dominoes up the street or whatever is coming back with probably 10 pizzas uh delivering them uh Jenny I see you here today you're probably going to be sharing maybe something towards this

015on bargaining. Are you going to be speaking at all? Are you just watching? Okay. Well, I'll sh I'll I won't take your thunder, but that 94% means I I'll I'll steal that thunder. Uh we did reach an agreement with our uh rough bargain agreement. As you know, Jenny was kind enough to share the results. We had 94% um approval of of the tenative agreement and um so really excited to have that done and and heading into the 2526 school year with that resolved. this. I just took a quick picture. I was meeting with some uh a local softball group that wanted to look at our fields and see if they could do some partnership with us and field. They they don't have great fields in some of the districts. I won't name a neighboring district

016that they're in right now, but they're extremely frustrated with how they're being just with their experience. And so they came over and I said, "Well, I'm going to take you to what might be our worst field just because it's right here at the district office." and the facilities team. I don't know what happened since the last time I walked out there and looked at the field, but it looked it's gorgeous. And I know that our facilities team has been doing a lot of work with our turf and our maintenance and and this field was I I I would have said it was an embarrassment uh not too long ago really. And this was a a PE unit that was going on at Green Valley. It's a it's a beautiful field. We have some work to

017do out there. It's where our where we took the portables out of. So, the fence is kind of wonky and the access to it is not great. But, um, I was just really proud of our facilities team cuz I was telling them as we're walking out now, this is, you know, we have some other fields that where we partnered down with CSD, but they really want to be in the rescue community. I said, so, you know, there's some work that's going to have to occur there. And they had just redone this field and they just redid the field out back here, too, with um some turf management. So, yeah. And yeah, in Pleasant Grove. Yeah. Thank you. Uh and then on the right hand side we're I I've shared with you we've gone through not

018we the CSD elder CSD has gone through three general managers since I've been here and each time we get really close to locking down an agreement on pickle ball courts. We've done a lot of field stuff but the pickle ball courts just keeps we almost get to the finish line it feels like and then the person leaves or it's terminated. Um this is um we've restarted the conversation with the interim and what's been really cool about it now is the staff at the CSD are have reached out to me and said we don't know what's going on with the leadership piece but we this work needs to continue so can we start meeting with you and um so this is I went out with a group of uh their facilities guys and just they just

019wanted to get an idea of like what's what's everyone been talking to you about? What's the site look like? we're not really up to speed. Um, so I'm I'm happy with our our team and that, you know, even even in a a facility that we don't use, it's still wellmaintained. It looks great. Just really proud. This was one of my favorite. This young lady I she's hold she brought this newspaper article she wanted me to sign. I had breakfast with her last year at a Rotary uh student of the month from Jackson, so over a year ago. And her teacher must have told her that I was cuz I came to read to her class. I was wearing the same jacket apparently. And I walk in and she's got this piece of paper and I'm

020reading to her and I I did not connect that I'd had breakfast with her. I'm read, you know, you're just trying to survive reading to kids. And she comes up afterwards and she goes, "Do you remember this? Do you remember this?" And I looked down. I'm like, "Oh my gosh." So she had kept this as her dad had told me it's in her uh um in her broom. She's got a little scrapbook and she's like, "Would you you want to sign will you sign this for me?" I just thought it was so sweet and it's one of those things where you're having breakfast at a Rotary event and in my life it's you know it's it's it's an important morning but it's it's it's just like okay this is the meeting I have now and

021then I'm going to the next meeting and the next and it just was a really good reminder that just some of these really short moments with our kids are super impactful to a girl like that. like the fact that she even remembered that she had had breakfast with me. I thought that was really cool. But it just was a reminder to me that all these little moments that our teachers have and um our our staff, our facilities folks um are really impactful to kids. So that that I got a huge kick out of that girl uh bringing it. So I think that's my last Yeah, that's my last one. So yeah. That's on it. It is a team effort. All the work that we do is a team effort. So, we decided that a lot

022of what we're sharing tonight, we're going to do together. We have not We have no idea who's saying what. So, you know, here we go. ready for the ride. So, um we're going to start with uh we have three job descriptions that needed some revamping. And so, I just want to take you back a few years um about five years ago. Uh the district and CSEA negotiated um a new job description called Lee mechanic. And at that time the job description of mechanic was shelved. What we have come to find with all of the work we need with our buses, our electric buses have just been um needing a lot of work, a lot of attention, they have not been um they have not delivered the um progress that we had hoped would come with

023electric buses. Uh we have three that we purchased a year ago that still have not actually made it to the road yet. So we recognize there's just more need in addition to our white fleet, which is all of our trucks and our vans um for food service. Uh so what we needed to do was reinvent the mechanic position but because that was archived without really addressing the overlaps and the differences between lead and mechanic and then uh we took this opportunity to look at all three assistant mechanic mechanic and lead and really differentiated what are the things that are different between the three and um there's some basics that are different Um, when you look at assistant mechanic, it's really about the white fleet and equipment such as lawnmowers and golf carts, those kinds of

024things. When you're talking about the mechanic, it's going to be everything the assistant mechanic does, but in addition to that, it's going to include diesel buses um, and the white fleet and equipment. Lead mechanic advances into the electric buses. So, we we really took this time to differentiate these and look at um ensuring that as we move forward that were staffed appropriately. We're looking at um if you recall there was a layoff for assistant mechanic and our goal is to um promote him into the mechanic position once the mechanic position is approved by the board. And so, uh, we spent quite a bit of time, uh, with our CSEA partners just through bargaining, looking at the job descriptions, processing the changes, and then really collaborating with them to make sure that each of those was

025delineated so that those responsibilities were clear. So, I want to say thank you to our CSEA partners just in that process. It definitely we try to look at about five job descriptions um, a year um, as we can. And so this was uh quite a process to be able to make sure that we got it correct to make sure that the responsibilities in each one are clearly delineated. So wanted to say thank you for um just just that collaboration that we had at the bargaining table doing that as well. And um just so the board knows um the the leadership is aware that this is on tonight's agenda. They have already signed the memorandum of understanding for each position for the job description. So at this time um it did go through it did finish

026the 10 process as well. Yep. And so our recommendation is that the board approves the job descriptions and the salary schedules for those three positions. Great. Thank you very much for the presentation. Is there any public comment on this agenda item? Seeing none, I'll open up to discussion for our trustees. Any questions? I do have one question. Um so by um defining and reclassifying the job description of these three different types of mechanics, what is the likelihood of seeing our electric buses folded back into or folded into the fleet for use timetable? Well, uh most of the issues with the electric buses are not um necessarily going to be resolved by this, but we will get more of our diesel buses probably back in because our assistant mechanic hasn't been able to help with the

027diesels. So, I think um just ensuring that our diesel buses and our vans are not getting backlogged as they have been because we haven't had a mechanic to do that. Okay. Um but unfortunately a lot of the issues with the electric buses um is due to Lion Electric that has now filed bankruptcy and then been bought out by some Quebec investors that don't want to have facilities here in the US. I'm probably kicking the subject down the wrong lane at this time. So um maybe we can direct um our superintendent cabinet to come back with a little more of an update on um that subject in itself and we'll focus on this one. My absolutely because we are work we are reaching out to our um assembly members and and um uh representatives to get

028some support on this push for electric buses. Great. So we're we're actually trying to schedule some time in July to meet with them. Okay, great. Thank you very much. I think that concludes our discussion. Then we'll move to action. Is there a motion, please? Thank you. Is there a second? Motion made in second. All in favor? I oppose. Great. Motion passes. This has is moving to agenda item number three, AB1200, disclosures and tenative agreements with Ruff. So, I'm going to let um have Dustin start with some of the background and then um as it relates to the tenative agreement and then I will get into the AB1200 disclosure piece. Thank you. So, um so first of all, I want to uh again say thank you to our rough partners um that we've negotiated and bargained

029with um through this process. Um part of what we do uh when we conclude a bargaining session or um a series of that is is create a tentative agreement and that the agreement includes quite a bit of items. The whole contract was opened uh and every 3 years the whole contract is open for discussion for review and for opportunities to look at any adjustments, changes, any ways that we can improve upon the process as it is a contract that is between all of us in terms of how we support um our certificated members. And so, um, this particular, uh, tenative agreement reflects, um, quite a bit of language, uh, changes, including the opportunities to provide, um, early notifications for retirement, um, for those, um, that are are looking for, uh, a retirement incentive. We put

030something in the contract that provides, uh, that early notification in December that allows us to make staffing decisions and to prepare for the following year. um providing a reduced workload program uh language in there as well as revising our teacher evaluation um tool that is being provided due to the updates to the um professional teaching standards that are available. And so um and last but not least u there was an agreement uh for um salaries to be increased by 1% um for the 2526 school year with the addition of steps added to the salary schedule. And so at this time Lisa is going to share a little bit about that. So within the um documents you're going to see a um rather cumbersome I can get there document that starts with disclosure of collective bargaining

031agreement. It is after all of the salary schedules and this is a combined document. So, I do want to call out that this document does indicate because we're we also are um after this we'll be talking about our unrepresented staff. Um so this does indicate both of those but there is approximately a total of 2% just under 2% that is added to our salary um added to the salaries for certificated staff. um overall when you combine the staff that are getting additional steps and then the 1% that's added. So it's just under 2% for that group. Um the document goes through and does indicate that we are paying for this through the use of our reserves or the next three years. However, we do demonstrate that at the end of the 3 years, we still

032are meeting our 10% that the board um has requested and required through our board policy. Um I did want to also add there's a a couple of things that I didn't note on here that I was just thinking about. We also increase the bereavement days. Correct. Um and I think um just did some clarification on transfer uh oh no on uh collaboration days on collaboration days we clarified um right now there's like first and third and second and fourth and we just clarified that if there is a break somewhere in that month that we're excluding that as we're counting one two three four so that everybody gets a turn at a one two three four in each Not. So, in accordance, we're recommending that the board approve the tenative agreement with uh the certificated employees

033from the the Ruft Group um and the MUS and the AB200 disclosure. Wonderful. Thank you very much. That has us then opening up to public comment on this agenda item. Yeah, we'll just all be up here at one time. Uh good evening. For those of you that uh do not know me, my name is Jenny Baser. I am the president of Ruft. Um on behalf of Ruft, I would like to thank the board and the district for their continued support um of teachers needs. This support not only allows teachers and therefore students to succeed in the classroom, but also at home. RTA was approved with a 94% approval by our members. As Jim has said, it is a result of many hours of hard work by both sides of the negotiations table. We appreciate the

034thoughtfulness and understanding brought to the table and look forward to working with you all again next year to address the continuous needs of our members. Thank you. Uh I would like to ask the board to approve the tenative agreement made with Ruft and the district for the 202526 school year. Thank you. Thank you very much. Open up to discussion for our trustees. Thank you for being here and for for commenting. And to all of the members, we really appreciate all the time and energy and effort that went into that. Um we've been kept up to speed as um you know, we we should be and we we really appreciate all the time and energy that went into that. Good. Okay. That being said, no other public comment, we'll move to um our no other discussion.

035Move to action. Is there a motion, please? We approve the ten of agreement with RP and the AB1200 disclosures. Thank you. Is there a second? Motion made second. All in favor? I oppose. Wonderful. Motion passes. Thank you. Agenda number four, AB1200 disclosure and tenative agreement. So um with as Lisa mentioned this is uh a public disclosure and talking about the ten of agreement for our unrepresented groups including our confidential management and administrative employees. And so, um, just so the board understands, uh, when we have groups of this nature, we have what's called a meet and confer, which means that we meet with each group to then discuss, um, what is available and what are opportunities for them to discuss, um, what is, um, something that they can be looking forward uh, to potentially considering. And

036so, uh, in this case, um, in reference, it was acknowledging um, similar the 1% increase for the 2526 school year. um um similar to um well exactly as to what Ruft had agreed to u with the addition of three steps added to the certificated administrative salary schedule and then there were also step changes that were added to the classified management and confidential salary schedules as well. And so we met with each of those groups to provide that information for them and to have that conversation um so that they can have an opportunity to weigh in and ask questions. And so with that comes also an AB1200 disclosure that Lisa will share. Um so I just want to touch on the steps. Um we um we really um needed to address our um classified management, our

037certificated um administrators salary schedules. And this gave us an opportunity to do it via adding steps and get us to a place where we were a little bit more competitive because um while we are uh more competitive and have been more competitive with our certificated staff, we have not been as competitive with um our our management team. So unraveling adding steps to the certificated administrators allowed allowed us to do that. But we had to unravel a little bit with our classified management and confidential. So, as you look, it's not just adding steps, it's actually unraveling. So, it's not taking as long to get to where you want to be. Um, particularly with our confidential staff, um, it was going to take 21 years to max out or 21 steps and we've, um, unraveled that to

038be 15. So, it does allow for um some retention and that was a lot of our focus was retention with these with unraveling some of these. Um again, as you look through the disclosures, um the salary schedules are there. You can see where they originally were and where the new steps are. Again, um same same answer as with certificated. While this is coming out of our reserves for right now, we are demonstrating that we will have sufficient reserves to meet our 10% at the end of 3 years. Thank you very much for your presentation. Uh I'll open this up to public comment at this time. Seeing no public comment, uh questions from our trustees discussion. Seeing none, then it asks for an action taken. Is there a motion? [Music] Thank you. Is there a second?

039Awesome. Um motion made in second. All in favor? I oppose. Motion passes. Thank you very much. Thank you. Was a great dual presentation by the way. Seamless. Yeah. Uh this has us then going on to agenda eyes item number five. Um, approval of assistant superintendent curriculum and instruction employment agreement. Um, Mr. Schumick, you've got the subject here. I appreciate you also recognizing that they were there together. We had a hard time trying to figure out how to put that in the agenda because we don't typically do it, but I love the teamwork. Uh, tonight, um, I'm bringing actually two different contracts, five and six. Um but uh this one here is number five is our assistant superintendent of um curriculum and instruction. And annually uh Dustin's contract he's evaluated annually. He's on a three-year contract.

040A positive evaluation triggers a third year to his contract. And by state law, we're required I'm required to bring this to the board for approval. Uh the only changes to the contract to Mr. Haley's contract is the term which will now be July 1st, 2025 to June 30th, 2028. And then the salary reflects the 1% salary that was afforded to uh our bargaining groups that have settled so far. Thank you very much. Public comment at this time. Seeing none, questions, trustees, discussion. Seeing none, can I please get a motion? Approve the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instructions annual contract extension. Thank you. Is there a second? Motion made in second. All in favor? I oppose. Motion passes. Number five. Sumo. Agenda item number six. Yeah. Um our assistant superintendent of business services Lisa Donald's contract

041is similar to uh Mr. Haley's in that a positive evaluation at the end of year triggers an extension of the contract by an additional year. So, uh, Miss Donaldson's contract is in front of you tonight. The only changes to that contract are the term which will be July 1st, 2025 to June 30th, 2028. And, uh, this contract also reflects the, um, 1% con uh, 1% uh, raise that was afforded all of our labor groups. should also note that it does reflect also the changes that were made to the salary schedule that were noted earlier. Thank you very much. Comment on this agenda item. Seeing no public comment, questions, trustees, no questions. Therefore, can I please get a motion? That we approve the assistant superintendent of business services employment agreement. Is there a second? Motion made

042second. All in favor? I oppose. Motion passes. Thank you. Agenda item number seven. um is the third part of this series. I guess I would make it a trilogy. Um approval of the superintendent's employment agreement. Um and I would like to recommend that the board take action to approve the superintendent's annual contract extension. State law requires the placement of this item to be on a regular um portion of our agenda. And I will note that our superintendent had just went through a positive evaluation completed and confirmed by this board of trustees as well. So therefore um any public comment on this? Seeing no public comment questions by our trustees? Seeing none, may I then get a motion, please? Superintendent's annual contract extension. Thank you. Second. Thank you. All in favor? I oppose. Motion passes. Thank

043you very much. Uh, this has us then moving on to agenda item number eight, which is our public hearing on our LCAP. And Mr. Shemaker, I believe you've got this item. I do. I was getting pulled up. Uh, excuse me. Uh, tonight I'm going to be giving a Sorry, Dustin. I was trying to click there. There we go. Uh so tonight on the agenda really is just providing you a recap of the um LCAP development that the board has seen the presentations that have come to the board. Uh just a reminder that the LCAP is a three-year agreement and we're in year two of that. I'll be going over the goals and action summaries. None of this should be a surprise because we've had 19 different presentations related to the LCAP this year. So we've

044done quite a bit of work on this. Um, I'll also share what the next steps in timeline are and there's an opportunity for uh questions and and or comments at the end. So, I'm not going to read all of these to you, but we've done some significant work and this is um this I think we get a little bit better each year with this and just kind of get just getting into a rhythm and a routine where uh our team is able to share with the board much of the work that informs the LCAP. Our goal as a as a leadership team is to make sure that when we bring the LCAP to you tonight and on next Tuesday there is zero nothing that you see in there that is a surprise to you. Uh

045this should be a formality conversation because we've talked ad nauseium about it. So I hope that we've met our our mission. If not we're going to have to add more than 19 meetings uh on this topic. But you can see we we've we've had our MTSS presentation. We've done continuous improvement. you got shared the EL master plan. We obviously revisit our G our board uh goals this year and revised those in December leading up to this. We've had the budgets. Dustin's done a lot of uh presentations, a number of presentations just on our data and our surveys. Um the the dashboard there, you can see our February meeting is loaded with items on there to everything from budget, culture, and climate to the school calendar report cards. you've seen that I think this year's was

046780 pages or something like that. The board packet just it's just there's a volume of information that comes in to you in February. Then in really towards the second half of the year as you've had some presentations and we just start talking about what do we want our plan like we got all this data. Is it telling us we're on the right path? And if it is, we're probably we might want to consider some minor changes. if if we were imploding and test scores were falling apart and our staff was reporting via surveys that they were displeased with the direction and our students were sharing that things weren't working. Our LCAP revisions would be significant, at least they should be. Um, we're not that's not the input that we're getting right now. We have a

047lot of work to do, don't get me wrong, but the the plan it's not the plan that's the that it's just it's just continuing on with the work. the plan I think is focused in the right direction. So you so that second half of the year is really where we start bringing to the board through some study sessions just hey here's here's our goals where are we missing do we want to reward anything and most particularly this year was we changed the board focus goals in December and we did not have any actions in our LCAP that reflected those new board focus goals. So, we sat down here and said, "Here are the new goals." We said, "What are the actions that we're going to take to address those goals?" And we came up with

048two, which I'll share with you in a in a little bit uh moment here. And then there's ample opportunity for our educational partners. Um we allow every every person in the district's able to survey uh take a survey through the department services survey and the uh educational experiences survey uh that we partner with Stutter. We survey our families annually that that email gets pushed out to 11,000 people that have an opportunity to provide us input. Our students take uh surveys on how things are going. So, lots of And then um every time I'm reading now, I used to schedule these student listening circles. Now, every time I go into a class, either just if I'm invited into a class or if I'm reading into a class, I just weave the questions that were from the

049student listening circles into that. So, I'm getting a lot more student voice because I'm just able to chat with kids on the fly and they're not handpicked by anyone. They're just kids that are in the class. They can ask whatever answers every question I ask truthfully, which they do. Um and and so, and this leads us to tonight. And so, um again, no surprises, not we're not recommending a lot of changes as you know. Um our goal one is no change. We're just going to continue with this idea that we're going to pro uh provide excellent educational services to maximize academic achievement for each individual student and all groups. We are leaving that goal alone. And likewise, we're not changing our actions. I did want to highlight just because we don't go over our actions

050a lot unless you really dive into there. Just in general, this is what goal one how we back up that goal one. It's that we're going to that our teaching staff are going to provide a broad course of study and enrichment that's rigorous and engaging and that we're going to provide professional development around that. And for our classified instructional staff that they're going to support uh that we are going to employ classified instructional staff to support uh students at all sites and that we are going to provide professional development related to that. Additionally, we do have a um stated goal in our LCAP of trying to maintain low class sizes in K through three. That's been on the books for quite some time. Low class sizes, I know it depends on who you ask what

051that could look like, but I think we've when you look comparatively in the region, we've done a nice job of staying below the averages. Uh also the additional academic supports, this was one that we added last year if you remember and remember how we moved the needle on that. We went from being in horrible, I mean really embarrassing how the the performance of our EL kids to being one percentage uh away from what they would term exceptional um that blue, you know, we we move that needle very far. And I think it's just a testament to when our team and our teachers and our instructional staff when we focus on something like we did on that, we have really good people that can move the needle. And uh that goal last year was super impactful.

052Um and that's what we're hoping that the excuse me that action last year was super impactful for our kids. Uh goal two uh no changes and again this was we're going to provide safe student centered learning environments that are responsive to the social emotional needs of children and families. And if that language looks really familiar, we spent quite a bit of time last year word smmithing these goals. We're uh we did that work last year. We're not changing we're not recommending any change for this year. and what that looks like underneath the actions that accompany this. We're not suggesting any changes, but I did, you know, there's a lot of work that goes in behind and again, this is just a summary, but um on the safe vein there is that we're going to support

053social emotional learning. That's anti-bullying, character education, PBIS, trauma-informed practices, all of that at each of our sites. And that we um that we we are committing funding to support the presence of essential safe school personnel. That does not mean officers on the campus. There yard duty supervisors, psychologists, additional counselors, PBIS facilitators at a few of our at a few of our sites right now. Um and and obviously our administrative team continuing on on that vein that you know we want to make sure that we have the supplies uh necessary to make sure that our schools are safe. Um, and that also that this is another item that we added last year is how do we dig in? The term that we're using for kids that don't come to school as often as they should is

054irregular attendance. That's the preferred terminology now. Um, is used to be truent, but it's irregular attendance now. And so, you know, how are we leaning into that? And then if you recall last year, the fitness and inspection tool um used to sit underneath goal three and when we changed um goal two to include safe, we move the fitness inspection tool into goal two. And you're going to be really uh pleased to see ne is it next week, Dustin, you're presenting that the fit I think that for the first time is all green for all of our sites. So you'll get that data uh next year. Yeah. Uh and then goal three is that we're just going to have the infrastructure, facilities, and systems of support that ensure excellent education and effective learning that effective uh

055effective learning environments flourish. Um we're not recommending a change to this. This is another goal that we edited last year because we were at the beginning of a three-year cycle. We did a little bit more deeper dive. We are add suggesting two new actions to the LCAP this year and they're to support this goal three. So the action and we worked on this together in the spring but you can see the action the new action which if and you look if you look in our LCAP is action 3.3 uh is to develop and strengthen partnerships with local organizations businesses and community leaders to match resources learning opportunities and community services with students and families identified areas of needs. And this is the work that we've started last August with Jen starting that first family orientation

056to kick off the school year. It looks like the slide that I just showed you where we're partnering with Aspire, Flity, Sierra Suds, uh, Flity Impact Foundation, Hills Church, the Eloro CSD. I mean, it was baked into just some of the slides unintentionally uh into some of the slides there. Um, so that is a new uh area of focus and I appreciated that in the superintendent's evaluation you called out that that was an area where you felt like we were getting better and better at each year. And then the other uh action is new action 3.4. So if you're looking at our LCAP, you can find this new action there and that's just provide clear communication channels, accessible resources, and meaningful engagement opportunities for rescue union students, families, and community members to strengthen school community

057partnerships. This is kind of that part two to what I just talked about. It's just another layer of that and the community partnerships. I probably should have saved Aspire and Flare Impact Foundation really sits nicely underneath this and the again the work that um Jen is engaged in with trying to how do we just systematize that so it's just not well we did it in August and then we're going to show some slides and celebrate that and then the rest of the year just kind of goes on. No, we did it in August and then we came back in September, October, November. Like, how do we just systematize that? And uh Jen has really um leaned into making sure that we're uh getting better and more regular uh in this area. And what also sits

058underneath the actions in goal three is that this that excuse me that the district will provide non-instructional staff that supports educational services. This is our tech, our transportation. It's one of the reasons too why we're asking those leaders to come annually to the board like we just had Kim here to share the nutrition services. That's where this sits. they um in this goal three also that we're going to provide the material supplies and services for all departments to operate efficiently and to benefit at the benefit of all students that looks like what our team just brought to us with the job descriptions on the mechanics we've got a need how how are we providing them our services to the departments when they're telling us they need something also looks like the kitchen remodel that we

059did at PG and the kitchen remodel at rescue this manifests itself in a lot of different ways. So, our next steps really tonight's the public hearing. Um, and uh that's uh for ELUP year two, there'll be the proposed budget that Lisa is going to share uh right after this, I believe. And then on the 17th, this will be if you thought this slide deck was short, on the 17th, it'll be even shorter. It's just really like these are the changes that we're suggesting for the LCAP. you're going to have an opportunity to vote on it at that time. And then Lisa will be also presenting um excuse me, Lisa will be presenting the budget. I'll be presenting the LCAP and Dustin will be presenting a new report that the state mandates that we do on

060the last board meeting, which is this LO uh LCAP local indicators report. Oh, and Tim, yeah, that's right. And Tim's going to be reporting sharing on the 17th. If you don't know Tim, Tim Brown uh works uh with Lisa's number two and is here tonight to uh listen, learn, absorb. He's in the CVO uh what's it called? This mentor program and so appreciate Tim being here this evening and he's gonna he's going to have full reigns. He's going to have the helm on the 17th. Okay. So, he's gonna watch Lisa tonight and then Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll do a tag. We'll do a tag, too. So, um that's what's in front of us. Uh, and so I think that the end last slides, any questions about our suggested really just two edits to the

061LCAP um, for this coming year. It doesn't appear there's any public comment on this um, and we have a spot for discussion afterwards on our open open uh, hearing here. Thank you for the overview. So at this time I'm going to open up to our public hearing at 7:23. Yeah, I was just curious. I'll go ahead and close the public hearing this time at 7:24 and then open up to discussion. Any discussion or questions for our Sue? Seeing none, this has us then moving on. Great work by the way to our superintendent and cabinet members on this agenda. Agenda number nine, public hearing on our 2526 budget presentation. Hello again. Uh this time I'm solo. Uh so welcome to the budget adoption for 2526. We always start with what our promise in creating our budget

062means. These are not just numbers. These num these budget this I'm sorry. This budget reflects our priorities and our goals with our students and it ensures that we are meeting the needs of all of our students as equitably as we can. Um, this is the timeline for our 2526 financial cycle. Right now, we only have one check mark uh for June 10th, which is our public hearing. Uh, we will have our second check mark next week when we actually adopt, but then we'll go through the whole cycle uh all the way through December 2026 when our audit report is complete for the year. So, it's a long timeline for one fiscal year. Uh, but we'll keep track of where we're at as we go through. Today, we're going to talk about first we're going to

063start with 2425. We haven't talked about 2425 since second interim, which was in March. Few months have gone by. We're wrapping up the school year. We're looking at all of our summer projects and how what we can do within our budget and where we're going to fund a lot of it. Uh we're also looking at um our multi-year. We're looking at uh where we think we're going to be. There is included in your packet. We're not going to go through it here, but included in your packet is also an updated cash flow and a multi-year, which we will touch on in this presentation, but there is a very detailed multi-year in your packet as well. Um, and then again, the budget and LCAP hearings today and then budget adoption and LCAP adoption is on the

06417th. We always ensure that the budget is aligned with the LCAP So starting with 2425 update when we compare second interim to now you're going to see some changes and we're going to go through oh what's happening um and we're going to go through what those changes look like. Uh we do have a little bit more revenue, we have a little bit less expenditures, but some of those are getting shifted into next year. And so we'll we'll dive into each of those maybe. Did I? I don't know. My remote's not working. Can you change? There we go. Oh, so revenues changed to the positive about 244,000. We did have an increase in ADA. So in March when we presented, we did not have our final P2 attendance yet, and we do now. There's about um

065somewhere between 8 and 10 more students than we had projected in our attendance rate. So that increased our LCFF funding by about 128,000. Um we have a little bit more federal, a little bit more state. Um most of what's coming in in state is for a lit literacy screen grant. Uh and that money is already spent on a screener that Dustin went through and did some um testing with a small group so that we have that for next year. And I believe the 21,000 is not going to quite be enough to support all of it. It will be enough. Okay. Um and then 84,000 more in local revenue. The bulk of that is coming from site donations. This is a very busy time. All of our sites are collecting money for field trips, endofear parties,

066and those all come in as donations. And then you're going to see matching expenditures for that 222,000. Um we do have a little bit more so reimbursements for some additional expenditures we have um on our special ed side, but we also have a bus grant that is getting shifted over. So you're you see a reduction of 346,000 that um got rolled into our 2526 budget because that along with the expense for the bus um because the bus is not ready. We had to actually cancel our agreement with Lions and move to a different bus manufacturer so that we could get it going. And that bus is expected to be in service by October. And that is a bus that will um meet our wheelchair students. So it's a it's a small wheelchair bus. Sorry to

067interrupt. Sure. Is it that's an electric bus as well? That's or no? Not sure. I would have to check. I believe it is, but I am not I would have to double check. I can't remember, but I believe it is. Um, we have lower expenditures, 515,000. You can see the bulk of that is coming from that bus purchase that we moved to next year. Um, but we have a couple other things. We have 150,000 in curriculum that we're moving over to next year. uh we have um 130,000 that we reduced in capital expenditures that we're not going to actually use this year. So we reduce that out of our budget and then just a a few things here and there. Um, we did have 130,000 increase to special ed that offset that revenue that we

068got in from the SULPA for 2526 are state fiscal conditions. Um, you know, I I don't want to read all of it, but essentially the big takeaway is that while we have more revenues coming into the state right now, the economic forecast is not great. We have $12 billion in deficit spending that our state is deficit spending for 2526 and that deficit is expected to grow over the next two years. So, um, the good news is is that education remains a top priority. Um, we just don't know exactly how that's all going to pan out. Um, yes. Can I um request some speculation, which um without putting you into an uncomfortable place, you've always been real good about being conservative with your predictions and pretty much landing spot on long term. So, does it appear

069as if education funding is going to decrease? Um, so as of the most recent um before or the most recent email that I received from capital advisors, uh, it sounds like between the May revise and what's going to be approved, some of the onetime dollars are going to be cut into a third of what we expected. So, instead of getting about a million in onetime dollars, we'll probably see about 340,000. Um, as far as long-term, I expect that the governor is going to have to make some decisions legislatively on where he sits with medical um because that is the biggest piece that was not accounted for and is and is really drawing the the deficit. And so it just depends on where he lands with continuing the medical deficit that is out there. Yeah. Can

070I just ask also, I don't know if you checked your email today, but CSBA sent out a was a very brief update. I think did I forward that to you or or maybe it was the school services I think. Yeah, CSBA sent out something basically about protect Prop 98, the 1.3 billion dollar decrease that's being proposed. Is it I don't know if it's a deferral or how they're going to how they're categorizing. Yeah. Yeah. So, but if you haven't checked your if you did not get that, let me know and I'll forward it forward it to you. But I believe it went out to all CSBA members. Yeah. The um part of the part of the budget includes some deferred which means we're not getting all of our June payment. So, we generally get a

071check every month from the state and the June is our like final settle. And um this year included in the budget for 2425 this June, we're not going to see our entire June payment. We'll get part of it and then we'll get the rest of it in July. It's it's not horrible to have that little bit of deferral. Uh but it seems that there is some push to use the funds to remove the deferrals and get us back to on track and getting funded on time. Um, my personal opinion is, you know, I would rather see more money and not worry about that little minimal deferral because it's within a month, but I also don't want to see deferrals like we saw back in 2010 2011 where, you know, 40% of our overall revenue was

072being deferred into the following year. Those are those are really tough times. Um, which is why watching our cash, our current cash flow and ensuring that we have sufficient reserves is important because if we don't and we get hit with 40% of our revenue being deferred to the following year, it's problematic. So, there is some good in not wanting to have deferrals and focusing on that because it just makes it easier for them to continue to use that to solve their problem. I don't know if I answered your question, but okay. Um, this is a chart that Capital Advisors um that I I stole from them and in um full transparency, the last two slides were all statements taken from Capital Advisors as well. But um the purple line is May revised. So that is

073the most recent. You can see for 232 24 and 2425 current revenues are up comparatively compared to the previous you know budget act and January budget proposal. However, for 2526 it's lower than the other two. So we are projecting lower revenues that are generating our Prop 28 minimum guarantee which is demonstrated here that in for 2526 we're actually compared to our January budget proposal um anticipated to get about 4 billion less than the January budget proposal. Our budget assumptions um for 2520 2425 they're static they are what they are uh for 2526 uh we are using the current state recommended cola which is 2.3 slightly higher than what I had brought at second interim. So I was being very conservative at second interim. I think they were recommending um like 2.6 six or something like

074that. At um second interim, I brought it down to 2.08 and it's currently sitting at 2.3. I don't anticipate the cola changing much because that is a factual uh um calculation that doesn't change. It's based on um specific factors. So, I anticipate that that's not going to change between now and June. our enrollment for 2526 um well actually we'll go through the colas for all the outy years uh for the two outy years um what I did was I brought it down half a percent from what is being recommended and the reason I did that is because um our cola for 2526 was recommended at 2.8 eight. Actually, it was almost three at one point. Our cola for 2425 was over 2%. So, I went somewhere conservatively. I didn't want to over cut it, but

075I did want to do something relatively um close and just do half a percent less than what's recommended. uh having a three expecting a 3% cola in 2627 given the economic um uncertainty and just the um stock market and consumer confidence is still a little wonky, especially with the difference between California and the Feds not being in alignment with a lot of things. I think that California is going to start hitting a wall. So, I didn't want to over reduce, but I figured half a percent for each year would be good. Um, our enrollment, you will see that I am projecting a little bit of decline. We're going to go through that. I know that that is um always difficult for us to see, but I want to talk you through some of the rationale

076with that. Our attendance rates is what we're funded on um against our enrolled. So, uh, I am slowing that down a little bit as well. We did hit our 95.6 that I expected for 2425. So, that was great. Um, but I didn't want to over project for 2526. So, I only brought it up about 2% and then 2% for the other two years. So, relationship to um our attendance. Yes, I know that Miss Harp has retired this year and she um helped a little bit with getting kiddos to school, having plans for that. What is our plan for that same effort with her retirement? I think Dustin's excited to answer that. Excited. Um so, uh Jen Lawson and myself worked with Miss HARP as far as uh um creating those attendance reports and providing them

077for principles. And so we're going to be continuing that effort uh moving forward. So we have um what was nice is that we created a um a process for generating those monthly reports for sites and then we've developed a um a district attendance review team that will be working with families with students that are struggling to get to school. Thank you. And so I also want to comment that those those reports do focus on chronic absenteeism. Um, additionally, Tim is working on and has been doing some monthly just overall attendance reports that are color-coded green, red, and yellow. Um, so we're going to start bringing those as well monthly to all of the um principal meetings. Well, not everyone, monthly we're going to bring it so that they can also see and check on when

078are we dropping? Are there do we see any patterns? um either in calendars or at specific sites or with grade levels because it is by grade level as well. Um but Dustin is more specific to specific students and this is more generalized to overall attendance. Um you'll see our funded ADA is um the same for 2526 as it is for 2425 and that's because we're we will be funded on prior year given that we're we're expected just slightly few more students. Um and then as you roll into that is also prior year ADA funded were expected to be funded on prior year as well. 2728 we're looking at a three-year average. Um we are going to review our unduplicated pupil percents um for the outy years. They look like they're running a little bit high

079right now. So we're we'll continue to revise and look at that as um the new year kicks off and so you might see those revised a little bit by first interim. Our PERS rates, we we'll have a slide to talk about that, but those are continuing to increase for PERS. They actually drop a little bit, but then start to increase again. Uh stirs, it remains flat. Okay. How to predict the unknown? Um, so I will share that we did have a demographic study done um a few years ago and I've compared what that demographic study was compared to where we've been trending and um it was quite a bit higher in enrollment than what we've actually experienced. So, uh, but the trend is still there where it kind of spiked a little bit and then

080started to level out. When we look at just cohorts of kids um, of students as we go through, that's the color coding. So, as you look at that very first top chart, you see um, for kinder 360 students. And as they roll through first grade, that cohort grew to 388. Um, slightly dropped to 386 in grade 2, increased to 401 in grade three, and we're estimated for next year that that cohort will be in fourth grade, and we're estimating they'll be at 409. So you can kind of see from 21-22 all the cohorts as they kind of roll through and the chart below demonstrates what percent each of those change. So as that cohort so if we take that cohort um grade 1 uh or kinder from 360 to 388 that was um almost an

0818% increase and then as they went into grade two it was a slight drop half a percent but then increased almost you know 4% in grade three and another 2% in grade four. So when you look at the the numbers, generally speaking, each grade or each cohort continues to increase. We don't really lose kiddos or grades um as they roll through. But what you'll notice is in 21-22, our kinder class was 360. In 2223, our kinder class was 326. In 23 24 our kinder class is 295. So that kinder class that can is continuing to grow while it is going to grow that original number is lower. So if you look at 2425 those um 330 kiddos turned into 349 at grade 1, but they were 388 a few years ago. So trying to look

082at that and determine what is this percent of change, what's the total change, what's our trend looking like. Um we had a this was a good year. We had uh actually 37 more kiddos than we did last year. And one thing I just want to call out is when you look at these enrollment numbers, I'm looking at a specific date. So this is the CDE official enrollment number from Sabbeds day. Um so which is a little bit different as you kind of roll through um what we bring to you each month as far as our enrollment changes throughout the year. But as we look at this and we estimate 2526, we're estimating it based on students enrolled right now. So, what are the students we have enrolled right now? And the one thing that I

083did a little bit differently than I did last year is I said, "Okay, how many summer enrollments did we get last year that I didn't count on?" Because I was trying to be a little bit more conservative and just said, "Okay, this is if we stop enrollment right now, we' get nothing over summer." But we got quite a few over summer. I actually pulled that back a little bit because we had an unreal number of seventh graders come in. We had I think it was like 20 I it was like 18 seventh new seventh graders come to us which is very unusual. So I I peeled that back a little bit but I did this time include some summer enrollments that we would expect. So, this isn't exactly where our enrollment is right now, but

084it is where we think we're going to be by the end of summer and by the time school starts when we take that and we look at and I know um I don't know is there a way you could move that screen sharing up to the top just so that they can see those numbers. Oh, it does show. Okay. Okay. Okay. I just Yeah, I just I can't see them. But that's okay. Um, if you look at it, what I did was I assumed we have more TK's coming in than we um had last year. A thank you. Yes. Um, we have more TKs coming in than we did last year. And I just assumed we would have roughly 200 every year for the next year. But this year we actually have two less kinder

085classes than we did last year. So our enrollment for kinder is continuing to drop. And that is a little bit suspect. As we look at the outgrades, the outy years, we're just taking those percentages that you see for metriculation, and I'm applying them in so that you can see as we roll through um you know, grades 2, three, and four. Those are continuing to increase by cohort, but not necessarily increasing each year. It's we're just kind of using the cohort and what we anticipate those percentages of increase to be based on our historic um numbers. Given that um we are looking to slightly decline um only by 8 next year but a little bit more and a little we're going to continue to decline potentially but it's right in line with the percentages that we've

086seen since 2122. So it's about 1% um half a percent um and then another half a percent. If you look we're doing the 0.02% 02% again, which is what we experienced in uh 23 24, but then we're going to see potentially another 1% decline the following year. So, not quite as conservative as Thank you. not quite as conservative as I was at budget last year, but still looking to see how are we going to project the unknown without overstating reserves and budgets and all those things. Lisa, I have a question just in regards to these numbers that fascinate me when talking about predicting the unknown. Have has your office ever considered utilizing the data point of summer school enrollment over a time period large sample to see if there's correlation between our enrollment trends during

087the school year? Um, no. And I'm not sure how I would do summer school enrollment um because we don't offer summer school to students outside of our district. Um, so yeah, include inter districts that we would include during the normal sphere. Is that what you're Is that what you're saying? No, I'm saying if there I'm I'm not sure how summer I guess I'm not sure. We could we could talk about how I could use it. I'm not sure how summer school enrollment might fit into that picture. I'm I'm willing to look at whatever might help. It just seems like it's an extra data point that maybe we've never examined before. If we are doing our best to predict the unknown, if there's any correlation or connection between our summertime enrollments either being up or down

088Yeah. and if there's a correlation to our as well. That's that's interesting. I'll have to pull that. I'll have to pull that because I do know this summer school year we it's packed. We it is packed and we are actually using three classrooms at Marina this year as well. And are we projecting an increase in enrollment next year? Um no, we're looking at nearly flat but with eight less students. So almost flat. Okay. So, yeah, I I'll take a look at our last few years of enrollment for summer school versus how we transitioned and just see how that year-over-year maybe tells us another data point. Yeah, it it could be a good way of looking at it. Any other questions? I know this is a a lot of numbers and I'm going to try not

089to give so many numbers going forward, but um this is the crux of our funding is trying to determine what our enrollment is. And so we spent a lot of time on it. Um and then this is just a a chart to demonstrate where we've been. Um, at some point I'm going to drop off 1112 because it's really sad to look at us at 4,088, but um, it does demonstrate this decline. Uh, at the same time, we are seeing a little bit of level for a couple years and then so we'll see where the next years take us. Okay. Um, 2526. So for this, we compare our June update for closing 2425. We compare it to our budget adoption and then we look at the differences. And I'm not going to go through um every

090detail, but I will bring out some highlights for you for those. Um in revenue, the LCFF is our main source of revenue. We do have um the May Revise, which is 2.3%. It's generating a little more than a million dollars in LCFF revenues. Um, when you compare it to what I had at second interim, um, at the 2.08, um, it's roughly about a couple hundred thousand more than we had anticipated. So, we were fairly close with the 2.08. We do have um continuing programs with the expanded learn learning opportunities program which is funding our summer school and it also funds um extended day opportunities for those students that are eligible. We have some prop 28. We are um always going to have a balance in our reserves for Prop 28 because we spend after one

091year. So we always have one year to pivot just in the event that Prop 28 gets kind of deferred is what they're allowed to do at the state level is to defer Prop 28. So just in the event they decide to defer it, we have a year of plan to plan for it. Um the one-time discretionary funding, it was estimated at 300. Now I'm hearing it's more about three um 100 per ADA. So, that's going to reduce that by a third. So, it'll be probably a little under 350,000. Um, that's the only one-time funding that we have. I did not put it in the budget because it was not a signed deal. And that's and it changes things like especially discretionary um especially discretionary funding that the governor says, but here's how I think you

092should use it. Um, but it is not currently in the budget. And once we um know exactly what it is, we will put it in the budget and we will bring that to you. If it's a material difference, we'll bring it in um we'll bring it in August. Otherwise, uh we'll see it at first interim. Our LCFF, this is a a chart to demonstrate how we are funded. the bulk of our funding uh nearly $40 million for and um it mostly comes from the base grant and the gradespan adjustment. We do have some just under 1.5 million for supplemental and that is targeted specifically for our English learners lowinccome and so we use those funds specifically um to fund all of our counselors at all of our school sites. We also have um a very

093small amount of a targeted instructional improvement block grant that was from 1213 that will never change. And then we do have some home to school transportation as well. Um and then just as a reminder, home to school transportation, they only guarantee funding us at 60% of our expenditures. So out of our LCFF, 40% of transportation um comes from the rest of LCFF. So here's some highlights. Um our 2526 does include tenative agreements with rough confidential classified management and certificate administrators. Uh we do have um we are planning to maintain our 2425 staffing FTEES although we may see some differences within the sites and from site to site. So an example again is that we have two less kinder classes but we actually have three more TK classes. So what they look like and how they're

094kind of distributed around the um district may fluctuate just a little bit, but we have not at this point reduced. I believe we have one position that um we have not filled yet that we would wait before you see any savings in our budget adoption. we would wait until after summer because that's when if we get a big enrollment in a particular grade we if we have to add a class I don't want to take it out of our budget now and then have to put it back in. So we're just maintaining and then in the event we don't fill that one class then we would see another savings from a teacher but at this point um we have everything there. Um we do have $500,000 in curriculum budgeted for math adoption. We originally had

095it in 2425. We took it out and moved it to 2526. I believe at second interim we did that. We have one more year of educator effectiveness. Our liability insurance rates just continue to increase. There's a lot going on with um liability claims uh throughout the state of California. And so our liability insurance which also includes some cyber insurance is continues to grow. Uh we do have some summer facility projects. Site donations are not included in any of our budgets yet. So if you see some um discrepancies in some of the areas, it's because we don't put site donations in until we actually have them. Uh we always assume four certificated retirees and um I think we've talked about everything else. Oh, we did reduce our facility budget um just because we are deficit spending.

096So we had to make some cuts or some reductions to some of our budgets. So our facility budget was decreased a little bit um because we just we're not sure we have the funding. So, a lot of the summer projects that we're doing right now is being funded with our state modernization and then we do have some coming out of our general fund, but for for now, we have a reduction to that facility budget. Uh we do have some residential placements that we're expecting to um for next year and we also added a wellness coach grant and we added um two PBIS facilitators. So, Jen Lawson um is just great at finding these grants and she found a way for uh three of our staff members to be eligible to be certified as wellness coaches

097through the county office. Those wellness coaches come with a $80,000 grant each. So, that's $240,000. We're taking that $240,000 and funding three years of PBIS facilitators at Lake Forest and at um Rescue Elementary. Um with the intent of long-term we're exploring some um CYBHI, which is children cal yeah youth and behavior health initiative. Um, and so we're hoping that um, the PBIS facilitators will learn how to document their time and get reimbursements so that we can continue to not just fund them, but then also uh, include more PBIS facilitators if this program works. It it worked really well at um, Green Valley. And so it's a position that we really think is valuable at all sites. Yeah. And we're um that's going to be there's going to be some additional information coming to you in

098October. It's in our the board roadmap that I shared with you this evening is as we learn more about the options and opportunities that exist. Uh we're going to have a a presentation for you so you can get up to speed with where we're exploring right now. Mhm. And then we are taking the uh the solar savings of $500,000 to capital improvement as was part of our um our budget requirements that we approved in Jan in January. The 500,000 is an average so that we're not having to calculate it every year, but it is the 25 year average. Our first year the savings is actually only about $150,000 but then over time based on PG& escalators and those kinds of things it's expected to grow. So what we did was instead of having to recalculate

099it every year we took an average of what the savings was so that it's just a flat amount that we're transferring to our capital facilities improvement fund 40. Here's our stirs and purr historical expenses. This is um just demonstrating from 1314 when the rates were 8% and I think 8 and 11% I think they were and now they're 19 and 27%. This is you know we're we're at $6.5 million in stirs and purr costs. Um, so we're hoping that their investments improve and that their rates to go down a little bit, but we're not quite there yet. Um, so this is our multi-year. This is just a snapshot. So you're going to see two the next the first slides are unrestricted funds only. And the reason that we do unrestricted funds only is because restricted

100is specific to strings like um and not always ongoing. Of course, it does include special education, but there's typically a dollar and expense that matches um and anything that comes from the general fund to cover things like special education are sitting in our unrestricted as well as a contribution. So as we look at 2425 2526 and the other two years um out just starting with section D our other financing um the 792 is coming from our art and music grant to do the initial seed for our capital improvements. And just as a reminder that fund 40 that is really our um goal with that is so that we have some matching funds for the state modernization should we move forward with a bond in the next two years. So we need to if we're going

101to get a bond then our best utilization of that bond is to also try and get some state funding for modernization. get in line for that. And then we have our matching dollars as well. And that's how we're going to really be able to maximize um the bond is if we're prepared in all areas. Um our contributions are going up. Um you'll see in 26 27 27 28 it slightly goes down but the bulk of our contributions um is in 2526 because we do have some residential placements. Our section E is our net increase and decrease. So our net decrease so we're deficit spending in 2425 um by $750ish,000. or deficit spending in 2526 by $2 million. But then with the additional um LCFF funding in 2627 and 2728 that does start to decline. It

102doesn't get us quite out of hot water, but in 2728 uh we're not deficit spending quite as much. And a lot of that is still going to depend on where our attendance falls and where our colas fit in. And so there's still some unknowns to those, but this is our best projection at this point. That deficit spending is being supported by our reserves. By our reserves. Yes. You can see in 2425 our reserves are 10.5 million and then they drop to 7.4. So we are spending the $3 million uh $3.5 million from our reserves to cover that. The state continues to trend in the direction it is right now. How long can our reserves sustain our deficit spending? Um, I think that's going to depend on our enrollment, um, our attendance rates and our ability

103that if we, um, I think we're in a good place where we do have some things like, you know, if we had to not do that $500,000 transfer for solar savings and we captured that. So, we do have some buffers in there that I think would allow us to last a little longer than others might, but I would say based on, you know, um again, this is if these uh you know, if 2728 hits almost 3% cola, which I'm not sure it will, um you know, so it's really going to depend on colas. Yeah. Um and then this is um again while our reserves decline over $3 million, we still are meeting our balances in our in our 10%. And I just made a little note, the ending fund balance in 2728 represents two months

104of payroll. So if we were to get deferrals and have some cash flow issues, our reserves will cover two months of payroll. So I don't I I say that because it is really important that we continue our reserves as as much as we can and why it's been so valuable to maintain that 10%. Um, but at the same time, you know, it's just important to know what what that represents. So, when you're looking at $3.5 million payroll, you don't want to drop your reserves too low. Um, this is the total. This is combined with our reserves. Uh, well, I'm sorry, with our restricted programs. Um so this is total and you can see again um we are intentionally spending our our ending fund balance is reduced by 5 million over the three years but that

105is because we are intentionally spending things like our educative effect educator effectiveness dollars. Um, and there are some other pots that we are spending down in some of our federal. And then this is our full pot. And you can see that section B now demonstrates our um restricted pots of money and all the different programs that we have money sitting in. So what impacts um our future budgets uh is enrollment attendance as we've talked about um what actually is adopted by the state. What is uh you know where does our one-time dollar where do they actually land? They're not in there yet, but we don't know where that's going to land. Um, and negotiations are still open for CSEA for 2425 and 2526. So, we still have to get that into our budget as well.

106And future negotiations with Ruft. You know, even though we're done for 2420, I mean 20, yeah, 2425 and 2526 with Ruft, there's still um future negotiations that we're going to need to work on. Any questions? Thank you. I I know it gets really wordy and I don't know how to do it any faster. The Jeopardy music. right when it changed. There it is. Thank you. So, this is a document that um is required any time a school district has a balance higher than the state minimum. The state minimum for rescue is 3%. And that would be frightening if we had that. Um but it is um our duty to explain why we have more than 3%. So um we have uh an additional 7% because we have a board policy that uh requires us to

107have a minimum of 10%. We also have in our reserves 254,000 for liabilities that cover compensated absences. So in the event that at the end of the year someone who has vacations or comp time acred leaves, we have to be able to pay them out. Um we also have um health payments that we have collected from staff for the month of July. So we have to maintain $254,000 for those two things. We have $900,000 in lottery um balance that we use for instructional materials. We have 220,000 for emergency facility and safety needs. And then we do have the 1.7 that we are holding for the deficit spending uh that's occurring in 2627 and 2728 description. Um I'll open up to public comment at this time on this. Seeing no public comment discussion among the trustees

108or questions. There is no action on this. So, it's just information. Thank you very much, Lisa. Appreciate it. This then has us moving to consent. Um, there is nothing to move. So, therefore, I simply just need a motion to accept consent. We accept the consent agenda as is. Great. Is there a second? Motion made second. All in favor? I oppose. No opposition. That has us moving to adjournment. And I'll need someone to step in for Miss White, please. Thank you very much everyone.
