I'd like to go ahead and call the rescue district facilities uh corporation special board meeting to order. Uh this evening we'll begin something. Sounded good. I thought that sounded good. That sounded okay, didn't it? Tone and pitch. You have it played back for just that. So, I wanted to double check that. That's correct. American Idols on now. So, I'm just really queued into sound. For those that are viewing at this time, we are just working on a couple technical difficulties that we're going to work through. test. Test 1212. I think we're solid. 10 second delay. Um One, two, one, two. Yeah. All righty. Well, thank you for your patience. Look, we have things queued
002up and ready to go here. So, we'll begin with roll call. Uh, Miss White, Bibo, Miss Hunter, Mr. Flity is not with us this evening. And Superintendent Shoemake. Awesome. If you all please stand and join me in 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. Wonderful. Thank you very much. Um, can I please get a motion to adopt this adopt this evening's agenda? Thank you. Second. Second. Motion made in second. All in favor? I oppose. Wonderful. Thank you very much. Regarding public comment for items not on tonight's agenda, this item is placed on the agenda for the purpose of providing members of the public and bargaining unit
003representatives the opportunity to address the corporation board on any items of business that does not appear on the formal agenda. Each speaker will have two minutes to address the board. The clock on the screen will countdown its time. Under the Brown Act, the board is not allowed to comment on items that are not on this evening's agenda. However, the board is not ignoring any comments. We find great value in our community's um thoughts and ideas, and we can refer such questions to our superintendent and cabinet. For items that are on this evening's agenda, I'll identify the appropriate time for our community to speak to those subjects. We'll lean into business services at this time in which we'll receive um an update from our superintendent. She make you have the floor. Good evening. As you know,
004we're calling the board of directors of the Rescue District Facilities Corporation, which is a little odd for us. Um but I wanted to provide a a narrative for what we're going to be um what I'm recommending and how we're going to be voting tonight. So, I am recommending that the board of directors of the Rescue District Facilities Corporation approve a resol a resolution of the board of directors of the Rescue District Facilities Corporation electing to voluntarily wind down and dissolve the corporation. As as you know, the rescue uh excuse me, the Rescue District Facilities Corporation was formed in 2001 as a California nonprofit public benefit corporation. Its primary purpose was to assist us, the Rescue Union School District, in financing the acquisition, construction, improvement, and remodeling of school facilities and equipment. The corporation served as
005a vehicle for lease financing arrangements, often used in conjunction with certificates of participation or other school facility funding mechanisms commonly utilized in California school districts. At the time of its creation, the structure allowed the district to access alternative financing operations and options that supported capital improvements while remaining compliant with state law and financial regulations. So, as of today, the Rescue District Facilities Corporation has been active for several years. The district has not engaged in any recent lease financing activities through the corporation, and there is no current or foreseeable need to utilize the entity for future financial transactions. We have run this by legal counsel and the the dissolution process and affirm and they have affirmed that all requirements for voluntary dissolution can be met without risk to the district board's financial obligations. Dissolving the corporation
006as we have shared with you previously is considered a prudent housekeeping step that will reduce administrative overhead and ensure the district's organizational structure is aligned with current future operational needs. So, in accordance with California Corporations Code section 6610B and section 8.1 of the corporation's bylaw, I am recommending that the board of directors of the corporation, which is the four of you, uh, voluntarily wind up and dissolve the corporation. Wonderful. Thank you very much. I do want to make note there is no one in our chamber this evening from our public. Therefore, we'll be moving over public comment at this time and open up to discussion among our trustees. If there are any questions, we direct those to the superintendent at this time. Seeing no questions. Oh, sorry. I was just going to comment that. I
007do feel informed. Um Oh, I do feel informed and with previous messaging and packet information. So, I think I think our board definitely has had um I personally feel informed and ready to make a decision. Wonderful. Thank you. Same. Okay. Uh therefore we'll be moving to action at this time. Uh may I get a motion, please? I move that we approve the resolution of the board of directors of the Rescue District Facilities Corporation electing to voluntarily wind voluntarily wind up and dissolve the corporation. Thank you. Is there a second? Motion made second. All in favor? I oppose. Motion passes. Thank you. That is the only agendaized item for this special um meeting. Therefore, I will seek adjournment at this time. I move that we adjourn. Thank you very much. We'll be adjourning at 5:40 p.m.
008Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our board of trustees study session. Um this evening um we have gone already and engaged with our flag salute and have addressed public comment items. Therefore, it takes us to um our superintendence report on our local control accountability plan goal three. So, uh thank you for being here this evening to discuss and hopefully finalize. Um we're not going to be taking any action this evening on this. I know it does say um approving the LCAP uh goal three. Dr. M. I I skipped over the adoption of this evening's agenda. I'm not used to doing two in one. Um so with that being said, um may I please get a motion to adop adopt this evening's agenda? I move that we adopt I move that we adopt the agenda
009as Thank you. That was made by Miss White. Is there a second? Second. Motion made second. All in favor? I oppose. Great. Thank you for that. I appreciate it. Sorry for the interruption on my part. Yeah, no worries. This this is uncommon to have two meetings and I appreciate the willingness to have the um corporation dissolved prior to our study session this evening. So, it's a good use of our time, I think. Um so, the local control plan LCAP goal three actions is being brought back to you again. As you know, last June, we approved our LCAP. And subsequently to that, um, we revised our board focus goals. And in that process, when we took the board focus goals that we had and looked at the LCAP, there was a there was an action there
010were actions missing for goal three. And so, um, uh, cabinet met with leadership and, um, took a stab at what could possibly be two goals that could align with our, excuse me, two actions that could align with our LCAP goal three. Those were brought to you for discussion on February 25th. Got some during a study session, we got some really good feedback on that. And what's tonight in front of you is um the initial goals that were brought to you in black and then in red are the um suggested changes based on what the team heard from you on February 25th. The intent this evening is really and our team is will be watching the video. We've got quite a few people out sick today, but not again not for us to take any action
011on this tonight, but just to let us know, are we on the right path? If we are, this will end up in the LCAP plan when it comes to you in uh the two votes in June, the introductory and the final vote in June. So, what I'm looking for is just um based on the input that you provided on February 25th and subsequently, I know I've sent out emails just asking for additional input. Are we hitting the mark with these goals? And if so, we'll proceed and if not, I'll just bring them back at another time if there's more feedback uh to provide on the goal. Remember also that if we if right now it looks good and we get into this and it gets into September and October, we're like this this isn't really
012as we're reporting back to you on our actions like this really isn't meeting. We can we can revise this just about at any time, but really it's just for us to have a firm our team to have a firm understanding of you know what's the expectation for us related to uh goal three actions. I hope that answers your questions and I'm happy to answer any that you might have that I wonderful. Thank you. First of all, thanks for the work that you've put into this. We appreciate both you and the cabinet in doing so. Let me go and open up to some discussion among our trustees regarding the either um red additional items or even some of the lined out items. I appreciate the the changes in cap goal three two portion two. I think
013that that's much clearer and um I think it definitely underscores our goal in that goal in that portion. I guess I would like to just mention one minor change um in section one and that might be that we might need um a little grammar revision. Yeah, let's hear it. So we So where it says services in the community with student and families identified areas of need, we may need to put an apostrophe after the s and families. Okay. Services and or if we wanted to switch that up, we might want to say um and services in the community with identified student and family need or needs. if we wanted to just clean that up just a smidge, but otherwise it's just a there. Okay. Is there just hearing um those comments I kind of tend
014to lean towards putting the identified in front of student I just think it makes it cleaner. So with identified student and family needs or need I guess it would be or areas that are good in areas of I um services in the community with identified student and family needs. I don't know if we need the area because the identified was calling out the area. I think now that we've moved it to the front I don't know what the all the terminology is there. I'm sure Michelle can I think either development strength partners with local match resources and services in the community with identified student and family needs. I think that's okay if you wanted to say within or with um areas of identified student and family need. I think we can go that direction too
015either way. I'm I think always less is more sometimes. So say less is more. Yeah. Less wordy. So, why don't we just stick with identified student and family needs family student and family needs? Okay. Yeah, that's clean. Are there any does anyone have any objections to that? Because absent of tonight, this is coming back to you in June in the form that we're going to talk about unless you want me to bring it back at a later time. So, um in other words, tonight's the night to give us some guidance. Okay. I mean, I think it looks great. I mean, looking at the old two, I mean, we're, you know, I think it's much clearer just having a district-wide initiative that encourages like this is provide clear communication, accessible uh resources. It's just very clean
016and clear and I think it's an improvement. I will tell you that our the way that we've done this the last I guess four years now where we limp along isn't a good but where we just kind of move this along in slow bites at it I think is such a healthier way to do it than when it comes in June it's the first time you're seeing it and there's all these revisions and two weeks later we got to bring it back to you. So, I've appreciated the fact that we've used our study sessions, even though I know these might feel like minutia, but this really this is a living document for us and how we allocate our money. So, it might feel like, oh my gosh, this is getting too in the weeds on
017this part, but it this is intended to be for the next three years. So, um these these action items. So, I appreciate the fact that we're just getting as clear as possible for our team. I really appreciate the phrase meaningful engagement opportunities is um important. Yeah, I think Michelle sent that to me as a suggested item. So, thank you Michelle. Anything else? Okay. I think the one thing that I um appreciate is um by doing a slow roll on um these recommendations, I feel that these bylaws take on a collective personality of not only our board and cabinet, but our community and um employees. And so I I think a lot can be proud of this as we try to make this product the best it possibly can be for the purpose of our students
018and learning. So, um, seeing no other suggestions or direction at this time, um, and it being simply just a discussion item, is there anything else you need from us on this at this time? No, I think I think we have our marching orders. Okay. Wonderful. That is our only agendaized item on this study session. So, therefore, our next board regular board meeting will be scheduled for April 8th, 2025. And that takes us to the subject of adjournment as well. We got to do one second here.
