Pennington who's going to be our new school counselor um so I'm really excited for her to start on Monday and work with Miss Shepherd to set up our calming room and really kind of fill that void that we needed on our campus to kind of help with some of our bigger behaviors um that's it super excited for next year thanks I got it um we are in the middle of summer school about 5 more days left um doing well uh doing a little bit different than last year kids are all online 2 different teachers they can work on as many assignments as they want and after school gets out at 1:30 for them we have a lot of kids completing assignments over you know night and on the weekends as well so it's going well um graduation was a smashing success everyone I've heard a lot from Community parents uh email calling uh liking being able to see their kids faces so I feel like that went really well so I was very nervous that night um the end of the school and that is where we're at right now and my numbers are looking really good I cannot wait to share them I want to have um exact numbers in front of me before I share with you but all the numbers should be going in the right direction whether it's safe test scores the tenants rate suspension rate all that yeah graduation rate graduation rate 100% of my kids this year graduate I almost want to tentatively call on Matt Wilkerson he's totally part of the administration I just want to get a Matt's like no I'm not you do you do a very you're very key part of this team I appreciate you being here superintendent report the office all right so we're between school years as was expressed here but it's you know what that means for us is the time to reflect on last school year and what we did well what we can do better really get get deeply into that aspect but also we're diligently planning for the start of next year so in fact we already received time we're like you've got a foot in both ears because you don't want to forget what you've done well or you need to improve plus you're planning um it's been alluded to here but we've been receiving results from our annual state test for students that they've been in the spring and I've given the which is preliminary results but I just want to report here in a public forum that they look very promising as as you all have said we've had we have Games district right and English language arts and math and science um and again they're not yet official because as far as accountability reporting but we're seeing the scores come in and we're kind of running our our own reports and you know all the all the Kudos go to our teachers and our leaders that are there with the kids or classified staff or creating creating environments for kids and making sure that this happens and so they're really doing work and their hard work is is beginning to take it off and kids are driving under their care I also want to mention though Beyond test scores and this was alluded to as well we have measurable gains and really all the other areas where we're trying to make any graduation rates suspension rate student attendance rates our English learner achievement was like through the roof this year um because we did a lot of changes to that program and really focused is there um so I'm really confident that we as we're reflecting that we can reflect back and say this was a successful year because our students did better our student outcomes improved I think we can we can look back at confidently say it was a successful year and again it's due to the work of all those folks that I mentioned but also um board members 1 of your estimate Your Role you guys are the ones that set high standards you keep our the water's calm instead of creating storms so that our kids can drive and not worry about it over drama they can do what kids need to do um and you make sure that we stay focused on student outcomes so thank you for your role in making this happen this last

really exciting we're also welcome to get those kids yeah there will be no offense taken in the morning and the roads and you all right so since we don't have any uh student uh board member here we're going to start down there with yeah I'll keep it relatively brief here I I started to make some comments about our manager of Technology Nathan last meeting and I kept it brief but I wanted to add a couple of comments maybe because like having had a technology background myself I know really how thankless sometimes that job can be but everyone of us comes to work every day right it doesn't necessarily come to work when you sit down at that desk and turn the computer on there is no thought in your mind that it's not going to come on that it's not going to work that you're not going to get access to the applications that you need to keep your job today and because that happens smoothly and flawlessly you build confidence every single day you come back the next day the last thing on your mind is you won't be able to get it to your work and that's largely because of the efforts that go on behind the scenes quietly to keep things not just keep the lights on but keep planning on improving and replacing and updating and refreshing and Brake faces and managing a staff and staying current on evolving emerging Technologies especially now with on the investment AI saw some webinar information today on AI policy from csba it's it's amazing I want to thank you for it's it's you it's Randy it's Charlotte it's Jamie it's Dr Gordy it's James and Jessica's Anthony it's a whole team I work with this group so many times you're you're 1 of the people that part of an amazing team and I I want to just give you a special props time to thank you alright and this is what I've been waiting for a month and a half or so I appreciate it I appreciate it did it end those graduations they were amazing um I was amazed by the positive energy and just the happiness being surrounded by so much of that wonderful experience got a chance to visit um Mr railay yesterday and get to know him took me so long to get up there and sit down with him and get to know him a little bit and and it was every bit the amazing sort of person that I sort of thought I was going to get to know when I sat down and nothing in my meeting this proved everything that I've heard other people in our district and at his school sites say that he's just an amazing leader I I want to Echo all of that and I want to also congratulate you guys got the chance to sit down with you at the same time the 2 of you together and you're a little bit about your philosophy and I agree with with Brian that the amazing things are in store and you're doing everything right is setting you up for success for that suicide many thank you for letting me go a little bit to transition into that new role tendency senior project tonight I don't think we had a meeting with you to recognize 1 lesson you got to keep it moving or you're not going to get all 10 of your evaluations I thought I actually read the papers really cutting for the energy project amazing and it's been awesome coming down on the tail end of what hard work of of our board administrative team doing all that happened and I got in on some photographs like I had something to do with it that I had it's just enjoy being here budget study sessions amazing

everybody here you know you're all part of that so I'm grateful for all the hard work all you do so it makes it easier as a board member I feel like my job has gotten progressively easier over the last couple years after being way harder than I expected the first couple of years with Co lots of changes and so I'm I'm grateful and and part of that that's not just all of you sitting out there that's also our board team and Jennifer and Andy and getting to know them and at graduation I keep I've said this probably more than I too many times now that I came on during Co came on the board of 2020 I guess December 2020 and uh so I didn't meet several board members I had never met them I didn't meet them until graduation of course well that was the first time I I've been on the board with them for 6 months before we shook hands and so credit to Brian and others who made the this a much better process so I already 6 months in I feel like I know you guys far better and work with you far better than I did when I first came on so good job doing that and that's Anaheim and and starting with that and then and then speaking in space together and so it is need to go to those graduations and and and be together and kind of see it's a ceremony for us to like oh yeah that's that's what we're doing right about these kids because we're not we're not in space with the kids like you guys are all the time so I was really really great to see involved on the graduation J congratulations on that job we've already said that not everybody's excited and I know you were you were a part of the turnaround of course called this last year with Mindy Mindy's giving you credit for that she's not trying to hog all the credit herself so um in case you were wondering so she she does she has pointed you out many times that you were a part of that so we're all we're all grateful that we have you and excited the future holds um I judge senior projects like 25 years ago and they never invited me

I'm so excited that our school district has been able to take advantage of that um also judge the senior projects and did not read all the papers and still didn't get through at the very you know just love the kids and just want to hear all about them and what they did and the first ones got a lot of attention and at the end it was kind of like get through it so I learned my lesson I will be doing that again um also went to the budget study session where I am just always Inn on amazed at Charlotte and her work and what she does and so grateful that we have we have you and uh in the district and um we have such great in uh Jamie don't play is that what you say so Jamie don't play Jamie and you know we just have such a great group here and I feel so it was to be a part of it I have to say that probably my favorite thing was was going to all the 5 graduates because I I was so moved literally to tears at every single 1 of them because the Poss ability when I when I looked at that group of kids whether they knew it or not and some kids knew it a lot more than others they were they had no idea who they are no idea what's possible but I saw it all up there and it was so moving and so amazing and it was just like yes this is why I'm here and I just um wanted to acknowledge the you know the administration and the teachers and the the staff that that was behind all that they didn't graduate themselves you know it took it took a lot and I'm just so proud to be a part of a district where um you know that we we we help these kids we you know move them forward into area areas that they they don't even know that they're capable of so love the graduations they were amazing um and I'm just excited to start my first school school year next year so just you know figuring this out and and what a great half of the school year it was excited for the the whole next 1 and to work with everybody yeah thank you Jennifer thank you um Well everybody's kind of set everything already but just wanted to know all of that um the graduations were great I think they were done really well this year and um higher experience it seems and um you know the a ribbon cutting was great the budget session was a budget setting but it was great um and but I just can't say it enough the Improvement that I've seen from the time that I've been here on the board so it's just the the movements and the changes and the growth that I've seen from everyone just from position changes to overall just morale and culture and all the things that we've seen that just seeing everything on the back end and all the little moving pieces of seeing how this um this intricate network of placements and um getting everything set up in the right place just so these students can Thrive and get that graduation stage those are great to see so good thanks yeah the uh the graduations are the celebration of all the hard work it's very emotional time for me um 3 years ago when I was essentially volunteered to run I was terrified I'd been to meetings before and I did not want to was not looking forward to sitting up here with Tony shaking his finger at me as well as everybody else uh it was quite a daunting task when I when I first got here um like I had no clue how it was going to transpire and only hoping not only hoping I I played my part too in in pushing and and for the right direction and 3 years later this is epic he could not be any better the change in the turnaround that has happened this phenomenal trial really hard to not cry you know so I'm so proud of you guys you guys have done such a phenomenal job this is how it should be done and I want us to continue to set the standard in the bar all the other school districts in California need to operate and make it happen this is a very very special team I'm good that you guys so much yeah right all right enough of that no I'm all right terrible this happens too many times but a thing we have our board we won't tell you that we were taking bets on which 1 of you was going to do that to me that's the easy 1 there ah it's just so special what what you guys have all done we have to sit up here and try to take credit for it I don't know I don't know what I'm even doing here at board president it's pretty epic to see this it's it's very special I love this town I love this our schools grow back to graduated from Portugal so many years every time I go there it's just uh it's just impressive to see the turnaround and and graduations are what makes me push and drive for the next you know the next school year because there's always more tasks there's always more emails there's always more responses and people to contact and graduations really does makes it all worth it to see these youngsters becoming amazing amazing all you guys in the back awesome we're going to move on to the consent agenda a through n can I get a move to approve for a second I'll second all in favor to public hearings we have a gabble in for this 1 at uh 7:26 so we are the 2526 school year so this is the public hearing so I'm going to go through a presentation just to kind of give you an overview of the budget that will be brought to you for approval tomorrow evening um and then real quick I just wanted just say because we're going to go through this and when we're looking at the out years you know we don't really know exactly what's going to happen and sometimes those look a little bit more dismal so I just wanted to um while I'm talking about that you know we had Jay talked about like well we're doing carpet and we added a campus supervisor just know that all of those things are like we have to look at everything kind of like a puzzle and make sure that it fits so while we're looking at this we may we may look like we're adding something but we were able to reduce USA and we added a campus supervisor we also have that in the lcap which here will go over and so that was able to be using that funding the carpet is being um done by 1-time funding that we had um that is the expiring so those are all things that were like very strategic um about how we're spending our money um because I don't want to get up here and say like hey here's where we're at and we're going to be cutting but guess what we're like we're adding some carpet and 7 rooms and we're doing mean this so just know that no you're totally good I just like as I'm listening to it thinking about what I'm going to get up and say like I just want to make sure that you guys understand that we are discussing all of those it wasn't it wasn't shocked to me that those things are happening if it was that would be a problem so I'd be like hey Jamie what are you hiring so I just wanted to go over that so um and then also we were able to have a budget advisory committee um meeting on Monday that um both Bernie and Andy were able to attend and so we went through the presentation like much deeper level we we spent about 2 hours on it so know that we were able to do that with a lot of the other people in the in here too so I'm going to go through it I'm not going to like go through every little bit but if you have any questions please let me know okay so we're going to start with our guiding principles again I'm not going to um read these to you but this is something that we always we start with because this is what we're here for and this is what we should always be thinking about and our budget should just be a reflection of what our goals are and what we're doing with our services and again here's our goals thank you just to to remind us okay may I read by his highlights so we've talked about the different parts of the budget cycle and that we use the May revise assumptions a lot of the things that we find out from May revise as to how we put our budget together so before I go over these um yesterday so in between having the budget done and even the budget advisory committee the governor and the legislative leadership they've come to an agreement so now they have a State budgets that basically we have a state budget but the assembly and the Senate are now expected to act on numerous different bills by Friday then we'll have that then we'll have a state adopted budget by the 30th which we always know will happen but then there's trailer bills that go along with all of that that we'll find out but I will say as I quickly went over the fiscal report that came out about what happened yesterday and there's not a lot of changes from what was in May revised so when we're looking looking at the slide on May revise the um again the governor still and the legislature is still committed to protecting education funding um looking at Cola beans funded at statutory 2.3% um again where we've talked about and they're pointing out there's a reduction in enrollment and attendance throughout all of California and that's something that they're looking at I think that may play into some of the conversations about is the way schools funded the way we should continue to on the schools um right now it's on attendance but that you know we never know if that could change in the future the rainy day fund um they are still staying with exhausting all of the reserves and the 2526 year here um EPA funding that's not in the budget but the reason I have that up here is that's the educational protection act which is a piece of the funding that we get through the local control funding formula and that came into play by a by a vote um they are going to have to and that ends in 2030 so in order to have that continue and be funded through I think it's a tax then we will have to have the voters re-up it wouldn't change our funding but it would change the amount that the state and where the funding comes from in order to fund the schools so that's something that we're going to hear about it's a few years out we're probably going to see that on a ballot and the um Maine revised had the governor's proposal less than the 2425 minimum guarantee and referring to it as a settle up in the final budget agreement um there are appropriating 118 billion and that is 1.9 billion dollars less than the calculated level so again they're trying to do a settle up they call it the maneuver that will yet to be kind of talked about to see how that plays out it doesn't really change things for this year but it could change things for our future years so local impacts and operational considerations um the cola we talked about a 2.3 that does not um oh they like the picture next slide um so just to remind everybody that the cost of living adjustment um does not always apply to all funding that we get so you can't look at that bad oh it's a 2.3 Cola we get that on every amount that's in the revenue that's not how it works it works in local control funding formula also a lot of the state funding um mandated block grant but it's not on every single Revenue stream that we get they are still talking about a 1-time block grant in the um in the agreement the budget agreement they have a that block grant being funded at the level that they had to begin with at the May revise which sounds like it will be around $300 a student and it will be discretionary so that's going to be some 1-time money that looks like we'll be getting that is currently not in the budget because we didn't know what's going to happen and we still don't know the allocation the calculations look like about $300 per student um full implementation of universal transcendental kindergarten is still happening um elop there is going to be some changes that look like so that I'm not sure how that's going to affect us we're going to have to look at our numbers and the learning recovery emergency block grant there is some um Poss there looks like they have the Restoration in there but not fully so we'll see what comes with that most likely you have to do an assessment to be able to spend that money so we'll find out what that is and assessment will be done and then it has to be in the lcap so it'll probably be in the lcap for the 2627 year so we'll find out what that looks like and that will help us in the out years with what we need need to do um Universal School meals it looks like they're going to have some funding for that and then um school facilities program uh there also is going to be um hardship grants and um they're working on some of that which is what we would might be able to go after if we had matching funds for um school facilities the deferrals is also still in there and so it looks like we'll have a deferral from June 2026 to July 2026 this is just a snapshot of part of the school Services um what they call a dart board and so they come out with this these are some of the assumptions that we then will use in our budget model um for instance it's got the cola there so again we're not only looking at this year because that's the budget I'm bringing to you is the 2526 but we're always looking 2 years out as well to make sure that we can stay physically solvent um and you can see there the lottery um doesn't look to be changing at all it's just off of your Ada mandated block grants that that's where you're going to see that 2.3% Cola each year stirs and furs are staying fairly fairly level which is good this is a slide you guys have seen this before but I've added to it for our enrollment and average daily attendance and I also added a little portion on the bottom there of our um our UPC and duplicated pupil count either a single year or the 3-year rolling average which is what we are funded with our supplemental and concentration funds that's for those students um the unduplicated pupil count again is Foster youth eel um low income those those students and so we get like extra money which is the SMC or contributing that you'll hear Dr bory talk about with the lcap and that's where we bring the plan and how we're going to spend those dollars so I just wanted to show so here you can kind of see like the enrollment and our attendance and you can see in 2526 what I'm projecting in the calculator is going off of being status quo flat enrollment and attendance at 1387 and our enrollment and about 90% attendance I would hope that our attendance is going to come up but I don't want to bank on that looking at the history kind of coming out of Co so at first in Trump if our numbers are better we can update those also were helpful for 1 year so I know I can put those numbers in and if we were less we still kind of would be status quo so it's kind of a like a safe place to stay um until we get more information so I wanted to look back just that we were here at second intrum this is kind of what we were looking at reminding you that I had talked about 2425 here is going to go away and so we were looking at 2526 being an out year and then 2627 and seeing that really kind of drop off um from 2526 to 2627 I'm being at 3.8 and we had talked about we're going to have to add another year so we're really going to have to look up what do things look like in the future and what are we going to have to start planning for so then if you look at this year's um this is the current nyp so 2526 now becomes our budget year and so you can see that where we have a large deaf is it spending but I want to um remind us that a lot of that is planned so 1 of the reasons is that we've got a lot of stuff carrying over as Revenue coming from and we have a much higher um beginning balance in 526 you can see that's about 7.5 million and so that is 1 of the reasons that we can deficit spend and we've been planning to having some of that funding that came in that we can still continue to use move over into this year what we do see is in the out years we're going to have to make some reductions in order to um kind of ease off of that deficit spending in my multi-year projections I do not include include any funds that I'm not sure if like we're getting equity in multiplier for certain schools but we got them for other schools last year we're not really sure which ones are going to qualify right now so what I do is I say we're probably not going to get that revenue and either have to like strip out those expenses or move any of those to general fund I have stripped out those expenses so if we're starting to do something that enhanced and that's what those funds are for is to like help you get back to where you need to be then if we are if you kind of gotten out of CSI or Equity multiplier than those things will go away in about yours so we've taken out revenue and expenses in there and then we also have cuts of about 280,000 that we would need to look at and um where I got that in Staffing right now we would need to look at that and if funding doesn't come in our attendance goes up and we have more funding from that then we might be able to change that so you can see here it would go from our without closing out this year we'd be ending at 9% and then at 6 and then we're at 3. 2 8 we need to look at and those out here and kind of hear me say this each year but we never want to bank on money that we don't know that we're going to get and we just need to get to where we have what we're using our unrestricted dollars for its sustainable to be ongoing and again like the splot frame that we were talking about that's not in here um so you know there's there's a lot of different factors that happen from day to day that are going to change this which is exactly why we have these interim reporting so so we're talking a little bit about this but what are some of the things that are not in the budget um any items to be negotiated for 2526 or the future we don't know what they are that would have fiscal impact I did not put them in um Perkins that's something that we for supplies and services until the application is done and as approved by the state I don't put the money in because it needs to be spent a certain way so we'll we'll do that um any position control changes after the 9th of June so what that means is any positions that we decided um to add for any reason or any vacancies that have had somebody filled because you guys just approved to some of those I budget based on a vacancy which is usually a mid-level and then when we hire someone in that's the real cost um so that fluctuates things a little bit as well um but at the ninth I had to like just say that's it because I got a balance things out and um so we had to move forward uh restricted funds that are year to year that I talked about yes I Equity multiplier in 26 and 27 and 2728 I have removed those um any future settlement agreements you guys have had quite a few settlement agreements come to you for our special ed that continues to grow um we don't know what we don't know the ones that we know that we have agreed to are in the budget um any non-public school placements for 2627 or 2728 um we hope that we won't have that in the future but we don't know we have it in the that we have agreed to we have in for 2526 there is AB 218 which is the sexual molestation revived liability insurance um last I just got a bill that is in the budget for 116,000 for our assessment for 2526 um prior years were the 3 years prior were 10,000 and then say 3535 this was a lot more uh we don't know what those are going to be so right now we're we have it to pay our bill for this year but we do not have that in the out here and then of course any unknowns which we don't know what's going to happen so again this is our best assumption so I just have the slide in here and I do this most of the time just fiscal solvency just reminding us so this looks like a big number when we're looking at 2627 and those out years the restrict again is cut by 4.8 million but what I want to remind us is is that 2.2 of that is a water grant that would not go year to year that's actually not anything to do with the running of schools and then the Arts and Music instructional block grant is also something that would not be in there and that's another 750,000 so right off the bat that's $3 million that is really 1-time money that we just don't see in that next year that is cut out and then on top of that the rest of the restricted are those things that I talked about there are things that are not ongoing that could be CSI that could be um we have a list of things like educator Effectiveness this is the going to be the last year of that funding unless they decide next year to give us some more we we don't know but because we don't know we don't have it in there all of those that are rolling over that we have planned to spend this year and it's the last year to spend we don't have those moving forward so and then we have on the unrestricted side that's where we have this 530,280 personnel and 250,000 in non-personnel some of that can be savings from solar is what we're hoping and we're watching that um but we we may have some cuts that we need to make in order to stay solvent and those out ears again it's early in the process right now we'll be closing our books and then we'll know what our ending balance is and then at first interim we'll be looking at this again and then we may we need to make plans to do things to set ourselves up for those future years um other additional expenses and cautious cautions that we always consider when we're when we're looking at these is that negotiation and salary schedules those are things that we need to take into consideration the special ed costs the district contribution continues to increase so it has increased immensely for the 2526 year and like I said I pulled pulled out that NPS that every year we're seeing that grow and that's something that we're mandated to do but it does affect our um unrestricted general fund um Stefan Colin we talked about that at our study session and what that means to the district I think last sure it was well over $100,000 costs without the statutory benefits just for people's movement on salary schedules without any changes to the salary schedules um District retiree incentives you have that in the district and we you know sometimes we know who's going to retire and sometimes we don't tell the last minute so um we do we kind of like look at what we do know and we put that into the budget minimum wage increases Li liability and property insurance is always increasing ours went up a little bit not as much as we thought but it is going to change our deductibles um as a jpa we're looking at ways that we can cut and kind of keep our costs um kind of Baseline operational costs uh utilities of course are always going up we see that in our own homes and then we know that we have a lot of needs for modernization and deferred maintenance and we've been working on that facility master plan all of that costs a lot of money uh technology replacement we've now gone to you know kids are using computers in class all the time those are all things that we need to have plans for replacement um and we do have some of that in the Budget moving forward year-over-year and then vehicle replacement plans they also wear out with you know we got new school buses but our our White Fleet really needs some attention and we're looking at stirs and purrs and then Health and Welfare I put that on here right now we have a cap something that we can negotiate and so our district costs for that kind of stays steady but we know that our employees are feeling that on the other side so we take that into consideration so next steps um got to see you guys again tomorrow night and I'm going to ask for approval of the budget at that time if there is a material changes then we will provide a 45-day update after the state adopts their budget and we listen to what happens with the trailer bills kind of throughout July um right now with what I'm seeing and glancing at from what happened yesterday I kind of think we might not have a 45 day update but but we'll see and that's what we can do that even if we just want to we'll talk to the county about that just reminding that you know we want to keep that healthy Reserve in the back of our minds and allocate our resources based on student priorities and our guiding principles and goals and then also continue to seek and secure other revenue streams maybe grants um I applied program today so so we'll we'll see what happens with that but if if we were to get that fully it would be like half a million dollars for a Safety and Security so um those are things that our team is working on consistently and looking for for other strains and so that is all for me unless anybody has any questions and of course but we'll be asking for approval tomorrow night questions or comments maybe the only comment is appreciation that um I won't ask you how many nights you were here until 11 oclock or how many weekend days you've had to give up in order to pull this together I know how much work it is and it's not just you I realize it's your team and just greatly appreciate it thank you all right thanks guys thank you very much Charlie you have allowed 747 travel back in got my glasses do you want mine good evening Board of Trustees uh so I'm going to be presenting uh elcat so roll us up elcap documents 140 pages okay plus another 4 for the budget portion budget of appearance so it's very detailed and it's very detailed detail for a few reason why it's a Compliance Document 2 there are certain specifics around our dashboard that came out this year we're mandated to have actions around that and it should be funds so there's there's a as he's breathing the air cap there's a you'll see some um specific Atkins or mandated actions what and those are referenced in there because those are from the dashboard so um the creation of the lcap is not a week it's not written in a month or like this starts right around November December and then ramps up and right around January so this is an ongoing document that's very very extensive and my goal or objective here tonight is to simplify it and I I think I'm and the other year that's been a little bit longer I've tried this succinct the presentation to help better understand and inform and I think I did a pretty good job and we'll see so so what is the help cap so the l cap is our District's road map for improving Student Success over 3 years so this so this lcap coming into this next year is the third year of the 3 year cycle think of this as our strategic plan that outlines what we want to achieve for our students and how we'll get there and how we'll measure our progress so key facts um the total investment for supplemental concentration is 3 million so the spell cap a compliance component of this is the S and C money so if we just put s and c and action the goals we be compliant but we confuse other goals from the general fund because it's also it's a reflection of what we're doing to support that goal but as the board you're looking at um snc funds the total investment again is 3 million um and it's really targeted funding so we can't just spend the 3 million on anything we want it's very specialized and it's around um our highest need students so we have 4 main goals that cover so goal 1 row if you're on the community or you have questions goal 1 is right around um instruction or academics goal 2 is our school climate and safety goal uh goal 3 is a community engagement and Community partner goal and 4 is our Equity multiplier goal so Equity multiplier is a compliance and mandate within the the lcap and we also have some CSI fundings and some some language in there but golf Force specifically around Equity multiplier so our plan really includes a special State funding called supplemental concentration fund that is the nucleus of the alcat and we we call us a little concentration funds we call them contributing so you know you see the word contributing that is uh something in concentration which requires more language in the lcap and rationale why why we're um securing those funds for specific actions and so the 3 million specifically designated to help our English Learners low-income students and Foster homeless youth succeed every dollar this funding must directly benefit these groups so these are all the the new signature so what's your and there's a lot in there so with the actions when so for instance the mtss action 1.4 has a variety of um of contributing items it may not be so mtss is is is a is a larger action but within that action there's specialized targeted either programs supports built within that so just a few highlights so we so the counts are core school is um is a new lcap generate snc ion active net the emergency response so we have that course goal we're going to expand that to the high school and it's uh uh emergency response um safety protocol and we work directly with the sheriff's office um with AET um so on math um it's a swan math is really to take a look at and get our teachers accustomed to the new state framework because the new state framework is out and we have specifically I've had teachers ask about more professional development around um around math and getting our teachers really connected to um the new math framework Amira is not only our literacy mandated screener excuse me our dyslexia screener we've we've we've leveraged the Merit to to go K8 so the Mandate is at our at the younger grades but we're going to expand it K because it's going to benefit all kids so that's in the old cap um hmm NWA Benchmark assessment so we're going to be moving to a new Benchmark assessment platform that's where modernizing easier to to utilize and leverage um Aspire higher counseling services and systems looking at our counseling systems and supports and um professional development um so specifically the contributor so contributing actions so these are these are the areas that you're going to read within the lcap that going to have more information going to have a more mandates and those are the s&c funds so so these are all all the contributing action expenditures there's a variety of them um and some are the same I mean not the same in sense that because if if an action is not if we're not making progress part of this long document these things and explanation why we're not and what we're going to plan to do different so these are contributing action expenditures by by action but I I put the 8 State priorities of success and challenges because 1 all of our lcap goals and our actions need to be aligned with the 8 State priorities and tomorrow I'm going to be presenting the remote control um local control um um right right around the 8th state priorities for local troll indicators so this is what the low control indicators are so tomorrow when I'm going through that it's a self assessment that is a mandate and compliance that doesn't need action I just need to present this uh similar to the last 2 years so these 8 State priorities will be referenced tomorrow but I want to give you a preview so you don't come in blind and why are we have these 8 State priority 1 it's we have to reflect on these and provide information of how we're doing great great ourselves so our 4 goals so goal 1 is every student receives a high quality instruction that prepares them for College and Career College and Career readiness so how do we measure success so sometimes I'll get that question and it's there's a variety of different metrics and it's still within the lcap um but to make it succinct there's 18 different ways so include state test scores graduation rates teacher qualifications and trainings so 18 different ways um there's specifically our goal 1 is 1 of our larger goals in terms of our actions um we have 17 specific actions and some of them are professional development for teachers teacher collaboration programs for special education students CTE Career Technical education courses and improved Data Systems to track progress I think that's 1 of our bigger areas to have a shift in in feedback from the board is our data rich information dissemination and what we're utilizing data to a higher degree to inform instruction to make decisions so coming in the first year and going to come in going in the fourth by forth and then the third that's some feedback that I've received around data and we utilize uh 1.8 million um in the special funding for snc funds that's the contributing funds goal 2 all students learn in a safe healthy environment where they feel connected and supported so we had 12 different ways we measure this for success student attendance rates suspensions student and parent satisfaction surveys and school facility conditions so some of these surveys that are rendered through sites and some of the surveys that I'm administering uh with the sites or as a larger scale through our Community Partners that's also leveraged um in gold too we have 10 specific actions and those are around student support programs after school enrichment campus safety improvements programs to improve School culture transportation services and alternative education so our adopts that is funded our entire adopt is funded specifically throughout goal free that's our community partner and 28 community connectedness so uh students and parents and community members actively participate in supporting Student Success we measure this in 4 different ways uh parent and Community engagement surveys School site Council participation and parent advisory uh group of all the what are we doing so there's 4 there's 4 specific action in this 1 uh programs to increase family engagement and better communication with parents and in the community and Gathering feed back to approve our services so we're always we're always Gathering feedback um to again bring data forward to have better reform decisions so goal for us our Equity multiplier goal so we get Equity multiplier funds specifically for a certain sites and Charlotte mentioned that changes and we don't get that information till late so that's why we can't start the lcap in March or April or May it has to be started earlier so that's sometimes like the scramble at the last minute oh Equity multiplier we elections right here so this whole goal is right around Equity multiplier because 1 again it's a mandate in compliance but we also have infused CSI um CSI actions with some of the Monies so we use it 7 different ways academic testing State Testing student attendance discipline rates and eel progress what are we doing so we have 3 specialized actions with these funds uh specialized teacher training multi multi layered support systems for both academic and social emotional needs and with the bottom line with the lcap the lcap reflects our commitment to every ysd Student Success 3 million is invested to proven strategies to support student success progress is measured regularly to ensure effectiveness and approach adjusted based on what works best for students and families so that's it for today we we've always taken so I provided you very rich document with a lot of information I tried to succinctly kind of address those um is there any questions I just want to thank you for um making something and that I know extremely complex and just something just each broken it down so well and thank you for doing that because it makes sense and that's a lot of stuff to make sense so thank you good work thank you and it's funny crops for what appears to be turning her face earlier tonight turning an aircraft carrier around starting to look like results are very out what you've been working so hard to achieve for a few years now and the El Cap is interesting because the metrics in here are from this year's State data so like if I'm a board member Community we're like I've heard things are great well the data isn't right now in this public but we are getting preliminary data so we can't put preliminary data even if it's positive we're leaving but if R is positive really positive that's not in there so so you're right so it is kind of always State the state stuff is always a little bit lagging so that those metrics in terms of the dashboard are from this year next year it'll be a little bit of a picture you mentioned you're switching or adding I think it's a switch on the um venture Mark was there maybe just briefly mention why why we needed it was as fast Bridge was that what we're using yeah so uh I remember everybody's excited when I came out a few years ago because we had nothing and with is that just uh 4 out of 12 or the superior product or whatever um a couple of reasons 1 it was Brian and I really absorbed the contract and 1 of my reasons coming in is 1 is the data is very hard to disaggregate and extract and that's based off a teacher feedback as well so I'm a teacher what I want something to easily maneuver and manipulate to better drive my instruction and that's it's a process so it's not as easily available and the feedback that I've received also from um educational partners that are in data data warehouses a lot of districts are moving away from fast break so NWA I use that with high school principal um NWA is very very good for high school but it's also very good for elementary and we brought in elementary team together to kind of take a look at NWA so not only we work and speak with the high school they're like yeah we like NWA it's much easier to use and it can be quite honest it's a push to get the high school to kind of utilize Benchmark assessment so if we're making it easy if we're going to have a lot a training a lot when we come back um if you guys have utilized it it's going to be a best practice at NWA is is a is a is a is a platform that's much easier to use and deciding a data to a higher degree and at the surface levels of Principle as a um as a teacher I mean that's what I would want uh so that's 1 of the main reasons so NWA is and it's also paired with hmh um as of right now hmh is our is our adopted Cricut by the board so hmh does own NWA so um so I I see data being utilized at the teacher level so much higher degree what's positive like I as I mentioned the number of the Redundant is teachers are utilizing Benchmark platforms specifically at K8 it's about 95% rate where kids are taking those assessments which is good but the the the trade-off is its the feedback that they should be getting immediately it takes a little bit longer this is with um is is in advance of the plcs are right the targeted assistance that uh is going to be become available through the plc's with that assistance of the County office isn't that correct so the PLC so we we allocated some funds through the lcap specifically for that work because that's going to be a deep dive commitment from all our folks so that's in there yeah yeah you're right this is plc's will be ramping up next year so we'll have a big part of our staff coming back in August be big PLC overview some of us are going to um what's it called TLC Workshop whatever it is exactly July 9th to 11th I know J's going that's going on going at 5 or 6 teachers that are that are going to go so we're doing a lot of work to to ramp up for that but I think the 1 of the major connections here is you heard you are going to talk about these things we're doing to um give more data and to make data more accessible that's what we'll be using the DLCs yes right our teachers will be meeting with each other and grade levels and even you vertical articulation teams and looking at data and looking at what they need to improve it what plc's won't work if you don't have accessible data on something for teachers to look at so I saw him Indian just shaking their heads but he was talking about NWA we needed a system that would really data and information more accessible to teachers we've also you guys already approved a contract with parseek I think that was last month right which is which is another tool um that really has become the industry standard and school districts to make data more accessible more readable and easier to understand so we made a lot of moves the data side so that we can be more prepared for teachers to use it in professional learning is back tomorrow asking for approval 804 on with action items 68 approval of the 2526 committee on assignment or senior here we bring the committee on to you guys for the board for the board for approval code 44258.7 allows full-time teachers that are fully credentialed that has special skills and preparation outside of their current credential to teach an elective area utilizing those special skills provided that it's approved committee on an elective is the final of the Court other than English math science or social science so we primarily use the comma assignments for our Middle School electives but our middle schoolers can get a variety of options at the middle level before they get to high school um so tonight we're asking that you approve the procedures the 2526 school year for committee on assignments any questions I'm looking for all in favor very good thank you so much Jamie I'm sorry all right item 6B approval of resolution 2425 cash 13 or local criteria for determining professional experience equivalency under Education Code so effective um August 1st there's some new experience requirements for educate teachers that must be um in effect above and beyond their current credentialing in order for them to teach in a TK setting in the resolution that's in your guys' board packets uh the details of the new experience requirements are there for your approval we are looking for a purple tonight on these new experiences for why how how how entailed how much more on top of last year this year they have to increase what do they how much time are they going to take to eat this criteria well there's 3 different ways they can actually meet it so 1 of the ways is to Simply have a um a permit an early childhood development coming from the CTC issues another way is to have early childhood education units um that they just have gotten throughout either their current or their college courses but they already took while they're in their credential program or some other time the Third Way I have a certain amount of experience which is equal to that those units that's what we're trying to determine right now is the criteria for what is that experience needs and how does that equal those units did you get any other comments or questions you get a motion motion second all in favor 6 C approval of provisional intern for Cassandra longor so for the 2526 school year something very exciting is that we're expanding our FCC classes at course gold to include a standalone uh pkt KKK class for our youngest kiddos in there um tonight we're seeking approval for a provisional internship permit for Cassie law enfor to teach this class uh the PIP allows the teachers provide services to students while they're completing their credential requirements like this is a little bit of flexibility there so we're looking for approval for a okay for Sandra Longport for the 2500 school year quick question how long can they be on this 1 year so the paper is actually renewable if if they wanted to it it's very aware that we have to renew that pip um there's also other options after the PIP if you go on to a short-term stuff from or not for that um so there's some flexibility there but you usually 1 year is pretty standard any questions all in favor 60 approval of new ways this courses okay so you guys should have had in your packet you know somebody High School um 2 of the courses are actually geared really towards special education you guys really already had kind of a criticality language but just as more of a formality bringing that forward um we are trying to expand our stage craft production so that that can be from a CTE uh pathway um and poetry and creative writing um although right now it's not slated to be a class we have next year we're trying to expand our English um elective offerings so if you have regarding any of those courses all right any um questions motion to approve second second all in favor thank you so much I appreciate right now are 6E approval of alternative diploma courses for 25 to 26 okay so this is really exciting um this is is really special education based uh labor I come from Beth is not here has not had a part of this uh that she's seeing all of this that we're doing is really uh the district should have an alternative diploma track for students so getting kind of off the track of it's just getting a certificate there is a means for them to run a diploma so are all kind of like our FCC class really turns into this alternative diploma setting you still have qualified to be in that course but we had to come up with courses that are approved just like the other courses that you approved to see the English and the Chauncey language for those classes for them to be able towards their diploma they have requirements just like our other students uh that might get um the the regular diploma uh so many English classes math classes social science and whatnot they will state will still take probably a few electives depending on their needs um at the high school within the general education setting but they will receive uh their core content within their within a a self-contained setting um and it's very exciting they will have life skills they will have transition skills um they will be building on work experience skills um so this whole course docu that you have describes all of those courses and um I think it gave you a sample pathway for them for their 4 years whether they're a yhs aani they're going to be an alternate diploma they're really going to be here they need to be in a self-contained setting um not saying that if they put into it but it would be really hard with the type of curriculum that we assess for them to do that and in a situation uh like Evergreen where they're working at home and independently um if they were doing saying that we would probably try really hard to keep them on the phone truck would there be overlap with Lonnie or incredibly recovery on this or is that not something that um there's something that can be Credit Recovery I would have to have a special education do that probably not so with a 1 had you there could be some special circumstances if we had a student that met those needs but really we we had such a small you know classroom um you know even if you yeah you have to meet you have to meet the criteria for a call which is the alternative um assessment to cast so to even get into that class or qualify for the alternative Plumbing you have to qualify for that so with us it's probably it's going to be less than 10 kids it's going to be 5 6 next year at most we would probably table I'm just settling here between like 13 and 15 at most I would think in a classroom so it's a pretty small setting with additional support with AIDS so you should be able to meet their needs without having to transfer them to other programs that we have a pretty big deal we got some curriculum coming I'm very excited very excited very excited we've never had this pathway for our students that are in a special day class and those kinds of settings and Jessica took it on with our interim director Susan kalpa I don't think you guys ever got to machine did some amazing work and she was here for those 6 months with Jessica and Mindy and Allan and J and all these guys and this was this is 1 of the outcome of her really bringing some expertise and justification and director has seen all this and has approved all of that so it's really helpful understanding and dealer comments we get a motion I move to approve and a second all in favor all right Next by the way Susan told me that she was going to watch tonight's board meeting either either live or recorded because she couldn't wait to hear the board approve these courses approval of adult education courses for the 2526 school year yes so the requirement our courses have to be approved by you every here um you will see in the next 1 you have to ratify what was currently done for this year so every time about um this year probably do it in May and not in June um but you will approve of courses that we will be teaching for adult education and it's just a requirement for us to get funding um for real education we get a motion I move to approve 1 second second all in favor 6G ratified the approval of the forces for 2425 same thing this is a requirement for this year we were going to be approving them this year um we were taking it last month so you're just trying to find what we would have already had approved for this same thing he's literally looking at the same price as you just saw and a second second all in favor I thank you 68 approval of contract with non-public school operations Academy RTC Jared before you present we have public comment oh Anthony Wiseman what do you think so glad you don't take your finger at me too much I'm so this is I'm gonna use my phone so we're going with the phone um so I know this that item H is a thorny problem first of all there's a typo in a contract it says July 1 2025 to June 30th 2025 it does so at least in the board packet that I looked at uh so we may want to fix that so we're not in a time machine going backwards uh so I know this is a really really Authority problem and in looking at this contract it's in an approximate 300,000 loss I know we are required by law but I just think about all the wonderful things we could do for the other 1400 students in this district with 300,000 volts and in some research I've done uh pretty much the state tells us what to do and we don't have anything to say um maybe csba can help us with this is for La unified a 300,000 contract is there that's budget dust for us that is a significant amount oh Monday that is teachers that classified that programs etc etc I have a little bit of knowledge on this that particular page I don't know I don't know I don't know but this is a of a lot of money for this small school district and we're looking at about a 20 million dollar annual budget for the whole thing so um perhaps we go to csba and to the state and say we agree every child needs the appropriate least restrictive environment that you're leading small rural communities dry with this and you are denying education to the other ones so I don't have a problem with you guys at all I'm not pointing fingers who I am I just we got to do something and I know we're a small fish in a big pond but I'm just looking at that few words tell me so Amazon talked about special education encroachment on the general fund so yeah so to run our special ed programs to meet the needs the unique needs individualized there's a there's an additional cost so yeah the state is not funding your Seminary and it's my understanding plus districts appropriately so in this situation this was through an IEP it wasn't just a new jerk placement and agreement there was research done and quite honestly in terms of cost there's another costly programs Within California that a significantly more so I look at the cost through the IEP process this is a lease restrictive environment and so I'm bringing this this is for a year so this is for a year I'm bringing the board a year agreement um for for this placement I'm asking for approval to be clear on that here as well like this contract does follow does it allow for a year but we're not complicated the entire year we would be obvious students come there this would be the most it would cost and from now to June 30th from July 1st to June 30th we already had a contract through June 30th yeah so this is the new contract from and all contract that expired on June 30th that will expire on June 30th questions or comments so supposedly offer a multi-year discount a multi-year discount it's a good thought I love that is there any chance that self is going to help with this at all so y'all so in Communications I think right also informs you so we get a reimbursement pull but there's no guarantee of the amount but I would say this is a unique situation that's very costly to a real District um so to answer your question I will be we will be um putting this forward through self buff for some additional reimbursement yeah absolutely all right and and and NPS placements there is routine check-ins how students progressing how are they doing is a student ready to transition was that transition plan look like so we don't NPS we don't anymore now they're we're still the student is still we are still part of in a sense yose we whether they're an NPS in Fresno or they're NPS in a different state uh they're still regular checking and and and just because obviously the goal is to have students transition successfully back to a site that's that's the goals you know but it's through the IEP process and the team decision you know before that goes do we get the Ada Ada you know so they're checking in with us but we don't get the financing for it is your student or not our student he's not our students in terms of not to the point where they're going to we're going to get our 12 grand for the year right okay if only there was a Union in California that had some lobbying power with mistake I I will bring it I will bring it up at the net State Council which will be we also we appreciate your support I moved to approve the contract should we should we move to approve the contract with the revision yeah 20 yeah maybe necessary the The Heading of it said 2526 but it must have been somewhere else yeah it's on item line 4 terms of Master contact first line and I I'm in my motion to say I moved to approve the contract for the 2526 school year ending June 30th 2026 and a second second all right all in favor say I I very good you sure appreciate you great pathway for the moment item 6 I approve of Northwest evaluation Association agreement of Edgemont testing I briefly touched upon that at the El Cap this is the approval of our new a new benchmark for the acronyms NWA it's also neat so funding is not the general fund asking for approval benchmark not for 2 questions so that it gets cheaper is that just because they're updating know because we we make commitment for at least that duration the cost goes down so I mean my and and what Alice in my role what I don't want to just keep changing platforms every year I mean people are going to go another 1 so this is viable there's been Buy in um you know so that that's that that so that cost is the initial first year is a little bit more um but as the as the years go down this last great you did some we did demos that stop participated in right and kind of learned this and gave feedback and just want to make sure you know that that you guys know our staff was involved and so I believe we're going to have a whole different level a higher level of usage and it's going to be it's obviously way more user-friendly and and this has become the industry standard as correct for that I'm standing I move to approve the contract a second second all in favor all right um Jay approval of contract with Swan math or professional development is a math achievement throughout the state is always an area of improvement it's not unique to hear I mean we are making progress in it's a great levels and but so with the new framework there um there's some professional development associated with it and some built-in assessments um that that professional development really directly supports or looking at strategy so it's really it's really exciting um so I'm asking for approval for um special development for swan this is this is just through pk8 is that yeah what what I found that unique too there's there's heavy professional available on TK TK and the lower levels to get the kids built up for Success so you're right so this is a the models is is a TKA I moved to approve all in favor second reading and Adoption of revised board policies yeah so this is the second month that we've had these 4 policies coming to the board 1's on use of school facilities 1 1 social media 1 on public statements so um these have been embedded through csba all the different changes to make it legal and compliance so again a first reading last month comes for asking for the board's approval to put these into our policy and a second all in favor we have more public comment for the approval of Amen block grant uh we have this calendar the school calendar for 2627 and 2728 4829 yeah so the cycle here and why USD and the Mountain Community has been to approve 3 years of calendars at a time so that people can plan for for way out and um what was different for me coming here is is that this actually get together and do this together it's a pretty cool process and so we participated in that we had um chani here we had baselight care we had Raymond Raymond Moore present that they gave us feedback um electronically and um we basically sat in here and let the calendars of the different possibilities up on the screen and agreed because we know that we serve the same families and we so we're on pretty much the same exact schedule so um I think when I was first coming to the district I think 1 of my first meetings or even before I was was here the 3 years were were approved and so now I'm fully entrenched now I get to approve the next 3 years so um these these would be for 2627 all the way through 28 29 again we're doing this you know even again this would align with the other Mountain School Districts and there's not a whole lot of changes in it I know we shared also with our with um with udub and with CSEA had been taking a look at it as did the other um like we've arrived at a good product for these 3 years and I will also share that these do include 2 built-in column snow days but it could be any reason that we couldn't hold school um these do include 2 built-in days which we had used those um prior years so again it would just be asked for the words approval to approve these 3 years um calendars for our schools all in favor I out of the comments thank you uh M and N right yes so I'm gonna actually kind of talk about both of them um is there interrelated um so it just became aware of the interconnect of the um it it is using the uh some Arts and Music Grant block grant money um for what does not appear to be necessarily Arts and Music um and I'm kind of conflicted on this because I for years and years I've been um I'm not going to say screaming but in book of about we need a security system here um out at the Adult School uh which is off-campus needless to say and when we get Valley build up here the next Career go for a group it's going to be on the old Campus of Ahwahnee so significantly farther away um it is what you have before you for m is to put in a security system and as I said I'm conflicted because I I understand what the laws say in regards to the intent but then there's always that escape clause or anything else and we need a security system camera system on this campus um the restroom trailer that we've rented um got broken into about a month ago um luckily we have a good relation relationship with the company uh luckily the damage that was done was minimal and luckily we're not having to to pay for the repair replacement of the church that were broken um so we do need a security system I know we're on plane budgets and I am all for flexible budgeting and funding so um I asked that um as it's written it does not look like it is uh inclusive of the adult school at Satellite locations um and I don't know if Brandy in your writing does that include I can the current plan you both sites would have cameras and full coverage around it okay including Raymond as well if we get a third base okay alright so my piece I think we need a security system 1 that you can actually identify vehicle on a face Etc so thank you so we would love to have a camera and security system but we don't and so we have to to Tony's point you have to be flexible and and find places where you can you can do things and it always really is um it's a tough thing you have to prioritize so many things that are really really important and um 1 of the things that makes this block grant tough is the name of it our with Arts material arts arts music and instructional materials what brand gives you the impression that's what it's to be spent and I think when this first came out Charlotte was it 4 years ago years ago and you really had 4 years 4 years to spend it right and because we're on such a tight budget and and and things can get really tight we've actually done our best to fund things along away without using this we kind of had it as you know almost as if something really really happened but we we've been able to within our existing budget within the LC Capital fund and we've been able to support many of the things that are allowable substances the Grant in terms of music when this and well just performing arts and and music all together when this first came out this was prior to prop 28 correct so Props 28 was um was a measure that was passed specifically for school districts to spend on the expansion of of the Arts so actually you know we can look back now and say wow how smart were we that that we didn't use this when funding was going to we didn't know it at the time so we can't really claim to smart but we got we got a little bit lucky um but to Tony's point you know or to anybody's point of like why not music and arts on this because we have another funding source that's actually ongoing prop 28 you get annually and um and you can spend it on Staffing that's why we've been able to expand um our music program down to every single grade level in our district and you can see it if you go to our kids performances it's amazing our theater program is amazing um and so we've been able to really leverage prop 28 funds some of the other things you can spin this on um again you know instructional materials we've built that into the lcap and and into our budget so that we actually have ongoing funding to the tune of over dollars just for that kind of just for that kind of thing right so the point I'm trying to make here is this is great the name is great but I feel like we were ahead of the game and many of these things that can be funded and that we have this built into our budget on an ongoing basis so when you have that you take a 1-time funding source and you look for 1 time project that otherwise you might not be able to do and you'll hear Charlotte say it all the time you don't spend 1 time saying on things that are going to be around and it happened year to year and this is 1 of those things that it's a 1-time expense but it will last a long time build into this and Nathan and and Nathan especially and Randy as well they've been tremendous work to work with companies you know to figure out what we can do with this amount of money um this could potentially include like a 10-year agreement so that we know we have we have a good system in place for for the long term um for for warranties and for services and for all the updates that that come with it I want to get ahead of myself because this all has to go through a process of actually vetting that out but we have a really good idea of what this can do taking us from things like 16 campuses 16 cameras on a compass to what's the number I should throw out there guys without putting you on the spot easily over 120 for the for the district yeah so we're talking about you know probably going from 30 or 40 cameras in the district right now to over 100 cameras in the district a whole new system a whole new level of of security that this would get us and so um like I'm with Tony I'm a little conflicted just because the name and other things that you can do but I'm comforting by the fact that I know we have these other costs and things that kids need built into our budget and this is something that our schools need something that our kids need and something I've heard from day 1 arriving in in this district from teachers from staff from the community from everybody is like our schools need to be safer and what's going on with this camera system right and so we have an opportunity here and so as you can tell I feel pretty strongly and pretty passionate after working with our principals our leadership team and getting all the feedback and input we've got and knowing we had this but not wanting to spend it until we had to which just has to be now spent by 2026 where you lose it right like we are has to be spent by the end of this year and so this is our opportunity and I think it'd be a really big mistake to not seize this opportunity and do something that our districts needed for years so part of this process and being able to spend these funds is the board has to approve a plan and so that's what we're asking the board to do tonight is to approve this plan so that we can move forward get some bids do all the process we have to do to have a camera system system hopefully up and um maybe by the end of the school year or for sure by the beginning of the following school year again I don't put these guys on the spot they're doing all all that all that good work so I don't want to you know give unrealistic expectations but yeah alright next year has to be this year with that I mean we're open to any questions about how we arrived to and why this is the I really feel strongly we should move forward with this opportunity I I think it's a comment more on the comments more than questions I'm I'm supportive of this plan um I was on the budget committee my first go around years ago when the block grant was announced and we were all excited we were thinking music because we knew we have an All-Star running our music program and other teachers here now that the Arts are really starting to flourish in our district and and I think within a year of 28 past I mean it was kind of back to back and I want to credit Charlotte and then Brian for holding off because we we had to wait for a while to see what prop 28 was going to provide we didn't know the amounts there's no way in exactly so credit to you guys for holding off realizing that we might get that source that our the Arts so badly needs and deserves and it has come through I I get the impression those teachers and supported and we've been able to especially at the elementary level right you know equipment new teachers and music especially and we we've added things even I don't even think that was all top 28 like I mean it was just in the course of the budget so so I feel comfortable that we've done that and then also you know I was helping push basketball this last winter this next year you got broken into at least twice during the season at least a thousand dollars worth of merchandise stolen um not on camera you can also be hopped over the Gate 1 of the kids to run the section didn't lock the window the lock means like a little hole that you put in there to keep it from sliding and somebody figured it out slid the window open crawled in and took out all kinds and stuff that happened 2 times and we didn't have it on camera I recall an assault that core school year 2 years ago where somebody's walking or a kid is walking around the corner getting smacked in the face we can see the kid who got the victim we can't see who punch push them right in my say am I describing that I was there for me a couple years ago maybe so on camera you see this is the kid getting hit they come around the corner no camera around the corner right so I'm really in favor of this for those reasons and because I do feel the Arts are getting support and I I strongly want that to continue so that's just my little skill on that yes Andy of course with all these new cameras you're going to expand out the video recording servers and all the associated structure that supports those countries right so the product we're looking at is utilized by other districts around us and it's a cloud-based so we can set certain cameras to have as long as recorded as we want okay um part of that is also leveraging um the data that we have we have a 10 gig circuit here so we have more than enough capability to do those things storage solution okay um I think down the road um if we don't already have something about video surveillance policy in place that might be something where we you know a policy that defines who gets to look at captured story of video um who went under what conditions did we get to do that those sort of consider because I don't want anybody to ever come back and say well we we think our videos we've watched by somebody and it's not for you know whatever the other thing is I think when you're going to get all those cameras you're going to be tempted to get up in a bucket truck and install them and I would hope you and Randy go together to make sure if the certifications are there to enable you to do that that work can be done safely because that's that's pretty dangerous to get up high enough for those cameras way down the road they do I realize that make a plan at this point really this and this would this would include installation yes okay contract contracted installation I'd like to move to approve the plan to proceed with that you you said Safety and Security and additional cameras is music to 9 years and Andy thank you for we'll take a look at what our video surveillance policy is currently if it's enough or we I wanted to add to that we did out of the learning recovery emergency plot grant that we did have 1 time funds we were able to do some stuff for music at that time out of 1 time funds so we did kind of that and held on to this money for that reason which is the reason why I turned around combo the whole ensemble even exists was because of that and there are 5 um not to be a labor on the point because I already approved it but just to let you know there were 5 areas that you could spend it 1 of them was operational costs basically you can use it for anything another is improving School climate and that was a specific thing and I think that this will improve a school of climate so we're heading more than 1 area when you look at what was actually written um the the title is very deceiving the community no so I was telling Brian that that we have the cameras and we have the capabilities I thought it would be a great way to bring our community in like we have the Deadwood camera and the IMEI camera so community community tap in and I have a point to that so the system we're looking at has that natively built in we can embed into our website the other thing that can also do is blur faces so if there's a concern of faces on those you can ensure that all people involved in those cameras with people and that was my second point was that um there's occasionally you hear things online where there's 1 of our shutdown situation something like that having maybe some parking lot view type of cameras so at least people that hear something like that from their kids if something's going on with the school at least they can get some kind of visual parking lot full of cops another great thing about the cameras is they do do have license plate scanning so we'll be able to track people entering and exiting our campuses that's a big deal my my office this I mean the center of town shocking number of crazy stuff goes on at night the sheriffs are in my office about once a month asking to see my camera footage and I don't have that and we can we rarely can get a good clean look at the license plate so I'm glad that you yeah and then yeah that's great but like something that again the parents can tap into be able to see like an overall view of the school I think because a lot of parents they they freak out in those situations they just want to see what's going on like so parents online saying they're going to drive down there and go see like it's not all right we're gonna move on just a little bit because we're going to talk about the camera some more 6n is approval of resolution 2425 - 15 for authorizing use of Omnia part a little bit spaced 1 now we're gonna get into the other direction of looking at companies in front of that so this resolution to you tonight um I want to give approximately and he has done in terms of his work on the backside to get us to this point um I'm here to help him move forward since we're going to be working together on this project so this resolution essentially but we're bringing to you a allows us to um use Omnia Partners which were part of which is essentially helps government state entities not have to go out to bid so they've done it all for us they've put all these all these things out did they've got in the bids and they got these groups that meet the requirements so we're asking for you to approve this resolution that will allow us to use Omni Partners which will allow us to use the forata contract that they have with it and ricotta there's different vendors that can install to but that's just allowing us to speed up the process which will help with the funding but also um save us some money where we're not having to do all that labor fitting rfps um essentially lots to work on our site this helps us out so we're asking for that approval tonight to allow us to use this resolution before on the partners and hopefully move forward with your product move to approve I looked very closely at this and is straight up legit it's a brand new contract Ambia has through an area 4 public agency located in Texas and it is all straight up devoted to this kind of a project is this idea I moved to Second all in favor thank you 60 consider of an approval of addendum to the assistant superintendent contract this announcement is to be read

thank you Brian back on items is 7 a is a first reading and consideration of the board governance handbook so we've been working on this for at least a year I think and then our new board members joined and joined in all the fun but um we've been attempting to put together handbook that basically is trying to outline the Rules of Engagement and how our board kind of agrees to to function to engage with our staff with each other with me um with the with the community and I think uh they've come up with is a really good product um that will actually should result in through our work next year is a board actually setting the tone for our district for their own expectations that will include a selfie valuation of themselves as board so what they're doing is laying out this is how we're going to function this is how we're going to work this is what we expect of ourselves and if you got any evaluate themselves um with respect to the to those goals and those functions just just as we would expect our entire District so um on the board for setting the tone and setting expectations for yourself and um tonight what you would be doing is just a first reading of the work that's been put together just like we do board policies we'll actually bring it back to the next board meeting or adoption so that'll give you actually 2 months to take a look at it we threw it you have if you have any questions we'll bring it back to August more um again for your consideration approval so no action tonight it's just the first reading all right very discussion item 7B first reading and consideration of revised board policy yes so again this is the first reading that will come back to you but I want to be clear on this 1 that our plan for this 1 is to have a first reading tonight and a second reading tomorrow and and approval and I'll say and you all know why but I'll say it publicly so this is a board policy that relates to work permits and um basically what this what this would do is still hold students accountable um during the school year for a grade point average is an attendance and all those things um but it would allow students to work during the summer when school is out um in independent of those um we've had at least a handful if not more since I've been in the district of like you know kids need to get out and do something and experience the real world um in the summertime that's not not necessarily in fact affecting their school we vetted this through csba and legal counsel to make sure that this is something that's that's allowable and um so we're you know rigging this to the board really kind of that the request of a couple board members um to consider for approval so again it's here tonight any questions talk about think about it spend all night reading through it and then uh and then tomorrow we'll bring came back for approval so it would it would actually impact his this summer thank you um information items AA District enrolled enrollment report and discipline report yeah just information enrollments a little bit down and so is this so is discipline so 1 of 1 of those is is not good news and 1 of those is good news we need any closed
