with them um but everybody that we hire especially teachers I get to meet with them 1-on-1 and so today I actually met with a psychologist and 2 of the teachers that we hired and just so impressive like they were really really impressive and I couldn't be happier and prouder of the selections mature that were that were making the staff there so kudos to all those that are involved in that um that planning also includes adopting a budget that look at Charlotte and Jared will talk about tonight in terms of the public hearing and we'll come back next week with the board if we but all in all busy time um exciting as we transition from 1 year to the next I'm really proud of our staff I'm I'm proud of the whole the entire wiufc Community because we have a lot to be proud of and a lot of accomplishments um this last school year and I am genuinely excited after meeting with those folks today I'm Jin I'm excited about what next year so thanks for a great year thank the board with all of your support and gave me this quickly as you as you do for being such great leaders in thank you you're having a great weekend you know I really want to point out that you must take a great deal of time for me to set aside to meet each and that there's a new hire that we have and I know smaller school districts it may I'm calling that's small and you've said it in beside that time to me with them and kind of get the relationship set up on the right foot I think it's a great thing first thing I say that I'm almost always sit down as you want to sit down with a super dinner any other District this is only single units might not be true right thank you for that alright welcome all thank you for showing up here tonight you say this is and getting close to the end of my fourth term or 4-year term here um the culture is completely different you know we were in last place 4 years ago it was awful Madison nobody was happy with and we make lots of beliefs and downs and you guys hear me praise us a lot I think the most important thing that gets us there is for us to be able to look at our shortcomings really be able to evaluate the data see which kids need the most help and and spend a lot of time going after them that um makes me very proud that our biggest gains were our our lowest students you know that's why we're all here and it's for the kids and only the kids and you know that's why I'm here too I love it it it shows our team effort you know there was Zero team before there was nothing but division everywhere that continued Focus to growth and and get closer as far as closer to meeting the goals for our kids you know we're we're not where we need to be but we're getting a lot closer than we've ever been so I appreciate all of you trying so hard and and um you know that's 1 of the most difficult things in life is to be able to look at your shortcomings and your failures uh and then acknowledge them and find a way forward I believe that's how we've been able to be successful in my own life is to truly look at my failures for what they are and and move forward with them so I appreciate you all for being here and thank you very much thank you bro hi um the graduation is so cool and they're so each is so different you know and it's my sixth time going to first year was I missed a couple um but so I've been to like you know 28 my title on the board and the you know the to see the stories of adult it and what Kathy and Tony and others are doing down there is incredible and to see these lives get on track some at age 19 some at age 49 but to see the pride and knowing that they you know I had a couple of uncles you know immigrant Family East Coast several my own mostly older voice went to work at age 12 never finished high school stayed with him their whole life and they they were relatively successful that they in every conversation you have with him they brought up the fact that they never finished high school and it was such a huge deal it it was a chip and it was an insecurity that they had to live with their entire lives and so it's so cool to go to those um graduations at the uh at Ops I love because those kids I was I think was Tom Kelly's son but maybe I was telling Jennifer too and where's it this year it occurred to me they they are the more advanced like on the human being scale you know and when you hear their speeches they're like this person is already this 18 year old has already gone down deep inside themselves and come back out and and has things to say that a lot of kids you know you're not going to hear that speech from my son who gave who did get a speech where you know you're hearing the and I the Ed offs kids are incredible in how they um how many of them have already kind of encountered a very very difficult obstacles and overcome them and and are much closer to knowing who they are as adult then they would otherwise be so I I really appreciate the the feeling of that graduation why that graduation and then and then most I want to say thank you you know for what everyone here has done for my son my third kid some of the high school and um my wife from another country and is from a city of 5 million people where when you are out in a village you are headed nowhere and when I said we're going to go live in the village that I grew up in and called the first there was about a decade or more of resistance to that that I had to endure and just for all my kids to launch from here and do well I'm just eternally grateful to this place because I get to say to my wife I told you so I told you so but particularly with my son he's going to a university and it amazes me I told him that um what he was able to achieve but I'm aware that how most of that much of that have came from this place and his time here what he was able to do and to become so well-rounded they have the ability to do all the sports and the leadership and and take the different classes and and have fun doing it and not be overly stressed out not feel like he needed to be on anxiety medications you know like somebody some of the kids at the high achieving schools so I I thank you all for your roles in that I think this board Brook in particular you know so I feel he meant or my son last year but everybody here really contributed to that so a personal thanks to you unified for helping my son on his way thank you very much thank you and I have been sort of dragging the works that tonight the graduations he's made it to and I don't know a year and a half in and missed all of the promotions last week I feel like an abject failure and it's also so bad looking at the photographs and seeing all of you mind that but 1 I was can't be with my 98 girl and and for the last 20 years I've said this might be the last time but yeah and I'm sorry I missed it and for a year and a half in since you were commenting about what you've seen and bringing some stuff year and a half in was a strong team strong leaders strong certificated leadership strong classified strong new leadership and our technology area fiscal Services of HR academic Services just across the board and what's impressed me the most is a a constant desire and you know recognition that we're doing good but a constant interest in yearning to be better and seeking how do we do better in this area focusing on certain and seeing those results and then the encouraging news tonight with how the plc's are going and how ours are complicated instead because the Border we're getting to feel truly the power of in in recognizing the results of what a PLC you know collaborative effort can do it to really that's amazing so just grateful to be a part of the team here and I want to thank everyone special shout out to the because I don't think our us I'm a tech guy going back a long ways and I don't think that's that guys get enough thanks systems are running well that allow people to come to work every day and sit down and go to work and they don't have to think about whether it's going to work or not today making a bulletproof making it reliable next hard work thank you appreciate it that you don't get enough thanks for making that happen so thank you Rachel well um last week I had the privilege of attending okay I don't um I don't education educational options course School whatever golden yhs but um but um but uh on a personal note um so um my husband and I have raised or boys and a niece a niece that we took into our home at 2 years old um we just had 5 kids she was my daughter well about 1413 she decided she did not want to be part of our family so she started leaving and ended up not being raised the rest made her own way dearly as it was well um an adult bed and 26 years old she got her GED after leaving yhs in somewhere in the 10th grade can't really put a pin on exactly when that was um so we went from no communication to some and and I was able to be there and give her flowers and we both hugged her and it was just it's because of people like this and it's because of opportunities like this that um that that was able to happen so it was a very special time for us um so I wasn't even planning on sharing but anyway if it looks like a culmination of very difficult up long graduation process so um so it was very moving and inspiring the whole week was and as I said after the ceremonies I was really um reflecting on what was affecting me the most because I just felt so moved at all the at all the graduations and I thought like was it the students beginning on the new chapter of their lives because they're so excited they were just you know so giddy or was it the parents and the families and the stands and you know yelling for their kids and all the confetti that I hear that janitors are still you know trying to scrape up um for the teachers you know teachers were cherry and excited and and they could tell I could tell the students that like they were like pulling for the whole time and they were graduating um but on it I I I I think it was a combination of those but what really stood out to me the most were the students speeches because there were something very poignant and unique about those speeches um again and again I heard I heard Sue's talking about teachers and staff who believed in them supported them and them through typical times and um I Heard students talk about killing accepted and feeling included and feeling valued for who they are like they hadn't been before life doesn't usually happen in school um like they've probably experienced in their lifetime not feeling um they were feeling seen they felt like they'd be alarmed and um that's something that really stood out to me and was really special I noticed about our district we talk a lot about academics about test scores and about programs which are all very important and they all matter but um what I heard from students was gratitude for people who had them feel safe and supported and able of succeeding so um so I want to really thank the teachers and staff and administrators who um contribute to creating that kind of environment for others that everybody feels included and valued for exactly who they are and um students may not remember every lesson they're taught in school as teachers but they will remember how they felt in our schools and so just closing out the school year and just really grateful that I get to serve in a district where where students feel valued and supported and encouraged to be whoever they are meant to be in life however that turns out so thank you to to everybody here and to all the work you all did and for the the um the culture and the climate that we are as a group together can provide um yeah the graduations were great as always um we spent so much time behind the desk here and looking over and reading documents and meetings and things like that as our time we have to kind of see the excitement from the students we need to see their their faces and things like that so it's always good to to be able to take part in that so I appreciate all the hard work everybody that support the efforts of the graduation ceremonies was in to getting those kids across the across the stage so um Express a lot of my appreciation for everyone and all the hard um when I started my time on board I got a lot of criticism because I was wondering my kids that if your homeschooling your kids why are you running for the board said I don't trust my kids in the public school system right now I'd like to make a place where I trust my grandkids to go there someday and so um as far as like what is in the purview of of this administration at this level I feel that we're closer to that today want to thank everyone who worked at Clinton again Mike Mike Brooke come down to the end of where your terms I just want moving on to consent agenda we need a motion to approve the consent agenda move to approve second then you and me any discussion candidates all those in favor um next is public hearing so we want to gather in School going to present so there's a comment on that I think that hey hello this is the public hearing on the 2627 budget good evening Board of Trustees as a reminder the state has not finalized their budget yet so these numbers are projections based on the governor's main revision and guidelines provided by Madera County Superintendent of Schools School Services of California the business administration steering committee the Capital Advisors and casa so I've been attending lots and lots of webinars in person um presentations on the budget so this is the best information we have current so always going to start with our Mission Vision in corporate beliefs making sure that we're getting back and that our budget is a reflection of this and our district goals so everything that we do fiscally should be anchored in writing principles and our student goals and it should be a reflection of our plan so currently with the May revise what is included in our projections so I'm sure you guys have seen have things come experiment email and and heard some information currently we are projecting a total of a 4.31 cola for the uh local control funding formula and for a few other restricted programs that get cola so this is the 2.87% statutory Cola that is set um plus an additional 1.44 investment that it looks like should be going through which they're calling a super Cola which would bring it to 4.31% we have that in the budget um in special education overall they're on number 3 so we've talked about how special education is not really funded at fully funded um for what we need to spend so right now they're projecting to increase um it to 1340 per Ada which translates to about the estimate is about another $100,000 to the district so we are still um projecting to have a large contrib confusion of over 2 million dollars into the program so while we are very excited to get to 200,000 dollars more um just to note that this is a good start um but we still need to be working on this and then 2 there is this does apply to our district so there is um in the language there is necessary small schools are slated to receive a 20% structural based increase um on top of the cola so that would reset the Baseline for necessary small school funding and so that is something because we have a necessary small high school would affect you somebody so that is all in being um budget that what's in front of you so major cost pressures and mandates so some of the things that are proposed while revenues we talked about revenues increasing their um so do mandates so couple of things to talk about is declining enrollment that's happening throughout the state in many many districts so while the base branch is going up there's a large calculation in the local control funding formula so the cola will be on the base Grant when that goes up but your funding goes up but because we're experiencing declining enrollment that actual net funding increase could be lower than the 4.31 because we get funding based on our um attendance so we need to continue to work on that the second 1 over is the paid pregnancy disability leave so this is another thing that's been proposed a couple of times and at this point it looks like it's going through the state's proposing a new 14 week paid pregnancy disability leave mandate um so we don't have anything budgeted in in the budget for that yet we need to see what it looks like basically um we would be mandated for the district to take on the cost for that disability and it would probably right now they're saying in terms of Subs would probably cost districts about $50 a day to cover these leaves um so right now they're saying well we're giving you this super Cola of 1.44% you should be able to pay for that of course we don't know who is going to be you know needing to take this leave so right now we don't have that in the budget and we'll just have to keep it am I on that and there's a couple of other items here the C90 accountability system is another mandate it's going to replace the old j90 that we did but it's more where you're reporting to CDE and some new educational vendor standards um that are coming look like they may be coming into place as well so every time they put a new mandate there are sometimes some Administration different things that we need to do and costs associated with that that really are not considered when they're giving us full up hello this is 2627 budget what's in and what's out so currently budgeted the 4.31% the increase to bed funding and we also have budgeted for the pretty much flat pension rates stirs came out and is sticking at 19.1% and hers actually slightly decreased a little bit to 26.4 so that is currently what's in our budget and then the multi-year projections we also have projections of what those will be in out years and those are all in the multi-year projections um what we're waiting on is there is a 1-time discretionary block grant which would be like a continuation of the 1 we received last here we still don't know if that's going to happen or how much per Ada or if they'll do it on enrollment though we're waiting to put that into the budget um and that would be a 1 time so it would be something that we would then want to make a plan for and decide how we're going benefit the district and then obviously the we have don't have the sub we just have our regular substitute class that we budget for um but not additional ones for a paid price ceiling so enrollment in our needs um this is just a little chart here of you can see in 2017 enrollment was at 1698 students fast forward to 2026 1354 you can see the decrease their in enrollment what is going up though is our UPC or unduplicated pupil count um has risen from a 1718 we were at 49 7% um when I came to The District in 1819 we were receiving no concentration funds because we didn't have over that 55% now our 3 year Rolling average is at 66.92% and we are receiving that funding so flat enrollment um is what I have in the budget right now um and also flat enrollment usually means that revenue is not growing very much because you have operational um last year I think we were down about 33 students so we're hoping we've had a couple of years where it's kind of goes up and down um so we're hoping for flat enrollment that is what we have projected in the budget until we hit our seabeds and we can kind of see where our enrollment looks like it is for this um current this current year I'm living in this year so you know a couple days it will be 26% of 27 the current year um the increasing UPC um signifies higher concentration of high need so so although it's great because we're getting that concentration money and also is showing that we probably have higher needs students and we need that money in order to um support those students assumptions for the budget and the multi-year projections you can see there we already went over the pull up um in the out ears 2728 and 2829 this is from school Services they do what they call dart board where the this is their best guess as of now uh where we're going to be in those future years and so we're looking at possibly a 3.3% cola and then a 3.09 and then we use CPI for services supplies which is your Consumer Price Index and So currently in the 2627 year we've talked about the fact that we need to um reduce some of our expenses so I had did not include uh the Consumer Price Index in 2627 and I did not increase all of those budgets um but we did put that in for 2728 and 2829 so whatever we were spending it is a little bit of an increase in those out years Lottery is standing still right now at about $190 per Ada for unrestricted and 82 towards restricted that restricted money goes towards curriculum and then you can see the stirs and hers rates of what they expect it to be so for the first time those are holding pretty steady stirs has been pretty steady for for years Calpers was Rising very rapidly and now it's kind of evened out and you can even see it's the thing that goes up a little bit and then maybe down a little of course 27 28 28 29 or not real numbers yet um and our beginning balances that I'm showing rolling over into next year are off of our estimated actual as of June 5th so that's when I had to say like we've done as much work as we can on current year budget of knowing what's going to be spent and we're rolling those things forward to give us the best um beginning balance moving forward so this is very small but I wanted to just kind of highlight that in um our fiscal system this is something that I pull and I add into all of the sacks forms that I but in for you guys I know it's like 300 Pages or something probably don't want to read at all this is a really good tool though is because this is our general fund and it's by resource so if you look at this each resource on the side to the left there let me see if I can have a little I don't think it works on the screen but you'll see at the top the it'll say 000000 that is complete unrestricted dollars you can see what's coming in there as your starting and you've got your revenue for the year planned expenditures and then what is your ending balance and so those are all when we say like we have pots of money those are the different pots of money that we have and there's a couple pages of this but this is a tool that I use when I'm creating the budget to all load in Personnel I can see how much is coming out of each place there are some of these that they have to be balanced and so I run this a lot but it's a really good tool to look at very quickly and to see like oh for expanded learning which is 2600 you can see the starting balance and then kind of what is our expected Revenue at this point what do we expect to spend and how much money do we have from Orlando so this is the second page because we have a lot of resources and so you can see there at the bottom uh let's see here you are estimating balance we're starting with about 622 million this is unrestricted and restricted dollars uh we project total revenues coming in next year at about 26.9 million and we have about 28.7 million in expenditures ending with a balance of 4.35 million so you can tell there are beginning our ending balance is less than our beginning balance which shows that there is some deficit spending there some could be planned some have been restricted that we really need to watch that and really be watching it in our unrestricted dollars and these here are just a couple of small small snapshots we have a few other funds that are outside of our general fund which is Adult Ed it's in a fund by itself cafeteria and then we have Capital facilities which is fund 255 which is where we collect our developer fees there is a capital outlay projects fund I didn't put up here it has just rolled over it has about 47,000 in it that is where you would put money that is specifically for a facility and we also have a post employment benefits fund that has rolled over each year so the multi-year projections so did this a little bit different this year where I just I'm showing revenues and expenditures on this page so you can see that each year we are deficit spending and we've been talking about that this is happening but you can see here that we are doing a good job of cutting down that deficit spending each year at this point but it's something that we need to look at and I'll tell you what the projections and and um that we have in here of what how we would get to that point and what we always need to be thinking if we're not having more money come in at a certain point we can't continue to deficit spend each year so it's a current across all 3 years and while the Gap is narrowing immediate actions require or just say Solve IT long term also things change again we don't even know exactly what the state budget will be so this is our kind of our best guess um and this is a the exact reason why we're looking out in those future years so we can make sure that we're making the right adjustments that we need to help so protecting our Reserves currently with what we have in the budget um we would be ending the 2627 year with at about a 10.4% reserve which is good um but with that deficit spending going into those future gears within this is with flat enrollment and flat um attendance you can see that each year it's going down so then we're at the 6.76% the next year and 3.47 that means we are still showing what we need to do but remembering that every time we get to that next year we're adding a year and if we were to just to take what was going on in that 2829 Year bring it over take out the restricted funding that's no longer going on we would be under that 3% if we had to do a 4 year multi-year projection without some major effects so we may need to be more aggressive in the future years to continue to be fiscally solvent and this could change based on many factors that we look at enrollment Abba State funds increased costs still the outcomes of negotiations the economy and what comes in so bridging that Gap is what we need to do to start working on a fiscal solvency plan we're expected to end the 26 27 year with a 10% reserve and so any changes that we make sooner compound Euro over here so you're going to keep hearing me say that we need to cut out the deficit spending and I feel like we're doing a good job of that but I want to keep it that are focused because it is something that we need to do I would love to get up here and say and now we have this funding coming in and each year we're spending what we get that is that's the goal of where we want to be so again just kind of deficit caution we want to look at that and 1 thing in the multi-year so I've come to you each year and said and this is probably what we would need to cut in these next years in order to even make that 3% the only reductions besides anything that is restricted dollars that will end and we know that that won't be ongoing or we're not sure if it will be I've cut that out I've cut out the expenditures from that and any Personnel that be in there that have been added with kind of that 1 time dollars on top of that there is an implementation in 2728 of 175,000 reduction we would need to figure out where that comes from right now it's shown in Personnel because that is our largest cost so right now that would be the target to if all of these numbers were exactly right but it's not as large as we were looking at 400,000 but we need to think about is well maybe we do depending on what look looks like it's saying first and from maybe we are doing a little bit more because we want to make sure in those out years we're getting ourselves on track sooner so those are all just conversations that we need to have also with this we have just step and column in the out years so you're going to have some items brought to you tonight for tenant of agreements and you're going to see the disclosures all of those costs are in these multi-year projections and the current year budget because I knew that they were coming both have been budgeted but there have been no funds for the 2728 and 2829 for negotiations there is the 1 and a half for staff um increase that is in the budget so what's not in the budget we talked about this a little bit some things would be like future negotiated settlement agreements with that have fiscal impact um the ones that you had tonight are in the budget because I knew about them so those are in there but things come up so it's just something to think about when we're approving and having things brought to us is they may affect these numbers um restricted funds that are going to expire like CSI Equity multiplier requiring um out your Staffing of those things those those Staffing if if those funds are paying for staff and extra programs those happen cut out in future years and um future a218 assessments fingers crossed we may not be seeing those the last 1 we paid in 1 year so we should not have any in the current year and then any position control change that happened after June 4th um so Jamie we've been talking about how how many people she's been bringing on uh we have to budget vacancies if we have if we don't know who's going to go in there and so if all of those were based on a vacancy now where someone is hired in could change the budget a little bit so the complete picture is you'll hear super Cola and a windfall of money for special ed but when you take into consideration declining enrollment Rising mandates operations while we are very happy with the state's budget income comparison to some other areas education has done well in this budget um and it's a boost and special ed but we also know how much those those costs have gone up we are going to have to carefully navigate this and we are always trying to protect that 9% Reserve which is what we strive for but 3% is the bare minimum and actually wouldn't probably cover if you took that money as cash it wouldn't cover 1 month of our payroll um so we the 9% is what we strive for it looks like that first year we would be hitting that but things to think about in this multi-year projections so next step um depending on the outcome of the state budget if there is anything that's very material then we would bring a 45 day budget update um for instance if they got crazy instead like we're going to do a 10% super Cola that would be material I would love to bring that back probably not going to happen and our CVO meeting this morning um everything that they're hearing they're kind of thinking there may not even be a 45 day budget update because what we're using as our projections is really what they think is going through but we'll find out um once they once they do that um we'll be back next week to ask for adoption of this budget and then ongoing just continue to um align our Resources with our guiding principles and um we really need to be looking at outside grants and you know we've talked about Bond all of that not anything we can do to bring to other funding in and with that is there any question um how many kids are were spent this last year I I probably haven't asked that question a few years I was gonna say yeah because I still yeah still and it was when we did the the subsequent year tracking I want to say we were up 13 from the prior year it was like 20 208 something like that prior year 205 he spent increase and pupil per is that 4 kids who are in sped or is that an across the board increase to 88 for all kids but dedicated toward well it comes from our sofa and so um there's a calculation they do and so they put that to us so I I'm not sure I can answer that exactly no that's you know I'm just curious if that was a question an increase on the 220 kids or that's an increase on 1354 kids I think it is it sounds yeah okay um and then on the supplemental concentration so that's uh I mean that's really changed even since I've been on the board that's getting close to a million dollars right Mike doing some quick math in my head we're talking about 100 and it's the kids above 55% so I just took some quick numbers 60 what 66 percent is and what 55% of our all it is so it's and it's Ada related I didn't account for Ada but and it's a so over 55% is the supplemental and it's based on a percentage and then the concentration is anything over I think they changed it 65 when jiren does when we look at the budget overview for parents then you'll see that but our supplemental and concentration together which will be when you hear a contributing in the lcap um I think we were right at around 3 dollars of our lcff dollars um is supplemental and concentration okay so I was just kind of in my head calculating the extra money that comes in above the 55% but that's just more to it obviously yeah there there's a there's a a whole lot of folks you know calculations that go with that but yeah so it is in our lcff funding say is we're going to call it 25 million then 3 million of that could be the the supplemental and concentration funding so although it's unrestricted it's restricted to what you do with it in the outcome and it needs to be used for those students so there is a portion of it and in the budget overview for parents it is broken down by amounts question for you um sorry follow for me um CPI um you know to me not including CPI in the base is is smart because you know what your numbers are going to be the base of your note injection is always going to be raw data it's not going to be projected with some variable like a CPI Vector the dart board um so I like that but could you speak a little bit more to why you chose to not reflect CPI in the base in some way that maybe other than just it's just a raw number you're plugging into the base here what were your thoughts about not building CPI into the base value so we're looking at what are like what are utilities doing what are our supplies doing and knowing what some of the things are that we're purchasing well do we do we absolutely have to have every single 1 of those things or maybe we are only going to order 90% of what we've ordered last year and we still would be able to get through with that so I'm looking at that so sometimes you may say I'm going to bring this over and I only am going to put an increase because I know electricity is going up well we don't have that because we have the solar now but there was 1 year we have 30% there are some things where I didn't use the CPI but I know that it's go that the prices are going up so if it's something that I knew then I was able to put it in for instance our um insurance for property and liability I knew that that's going up I have my estimated amount it went up about 11.2% from the prior year so that increases in there um for the services for sped transportation from the county we get an estimate and they're always doing a year in a rears so I know how much that is for next year and I was able to put that Mountain that 1 was actually a little bit lower so because I had enough data to fill comfortable with the the services and supplies that were using and we also went through like our curriculum we put and we budgeted specifically for curriculum but then I went through sped and we budgeted specifically for things that we knew were needs um and so instead of just saying we did this last year let's do this um but in future years I don't have that information so going with the CP I gives you a little bit of cushion for those things that may change and when we get to that year then we can decide how do we want to handle that lcf that that there's 1.44 Appliance in the base and I pointed out 1 of your slides by the way your slides are great thanks really great I love this district and I also um so when it applies to lcf that's in the base you have um of course a positive impact and and but you're right to point out that declining Ada declining enrollment and their work climbing Ada against which we are receiving our funding is going to reduce potentially but you did also mention you kept your Ada projection flat yes and 1 of the reasons that I did is that the way it's a current year higher here or 3 year Rolling average on how you're funded so even though we had I think it was 1,245.88 last year we are actually getting funded a little bit higher because I think last year was the crier here we were using so it calculates that we're always at least 1 year we also have done great work in um attendance you know they were talking about that the overall numbers are not that high but they did come up 1 percentage Point um from the prior year so even if we have it flat and it's going down if our if we're working on our attendance where we can sometimes almost even that out to stay steady but if we see that that's not going in that direction then then I will change that in our interims and so we can keep our eye on that but right now not knowing for next year all in for it looks like we would probably be somewhat yeah and then second year out flat second year okay but if we see that it starts to go down when I came to this District I could see history wise we were losing 50 students for you so when I first when I first came in that's what we were projecting 50 students less but we really worked on our attendance um so I'm 30 years 28 29 yeah and that your sweat yes all they're all flat okay they're all flat as to what we had at P2 for this for 25 something the 1 the last thing I would like to point out is that I love that you so we bring the need for creating a plan to address the deficit spending and the structural adjustments that need to be made to bring expenditures into alignment with revenues and I am having seen it now a couple of times always amazed at your ability to make it work your projections show this trend second you're out to me the second year August 28th 29th so is this really coming that that that minimum State requirement recommend uncertainty and we always that secure out becomes the current year we're back here again and that's because it's not because your production was wrong 2 years prior it's because you've made many adjustments but I'm back money where you could save from position vacancies look for creative ways to fill you look for a new revenue streams you pointed that out and monitor slides you're constantly working all kinds of angles to help the ending fund balance be better than what projection today shows that secular out will be and that reflects your skill but it it can't be counted on you know this by pre it's 2 10 minutes and you're absolutely right to say we need a plan and I'm super glad to hear you say and and planning Advanced means we can think about it we can even try something and see if it works and we're not doing something super reactive you know if we look at this next year even spending with what we think we would be landing at 10% reserved um so even in the projections so it it gives us some breathing room I you know I always feel like my my is like really dark and dreary but remembering there's a reason that they I'm looking at those out here for saying you know we could have you know just like 1 huge facility thing that we have to fix come to come into play and that could change things so um yeah we just there's a lot of factors 1 last thing sorry that was done the pay pregnancy and disability leave is what they figured the 1.44 super Cola is how people will help to offset do we have any idea what the impact of 14 weeks does that apply to so all of our staff it applies to anyone who is on paid pregnancy leave yeah certificated man and the estimates of how that will play out for now just um I mean real early projections talking to school Services um when they were kind of saying like this is probably what it might look like um for our size school I mean you never know like you have a really small school and you could have a lot of people that decide to have babies but that also means they probably would come to our schools so that's good too um so I mean like um was around 55,000 I think was the like if I was to say okay I need to set something aside right now for that um but I think we'll just go through and I think Jamie looked at us like we looked at like historical data um you know we we we've got a couple of years has zero and I have 1 year where I have like 4 right it just it really depends on the year with the time that we're District you're not yeah it's hard to tell I just want to say thank you for being so good at your job this this last year um when all the other schools had huge cuts you were creative you lost 1 position praising you all over town thanks to the group effort is what I will say of course of course but you know we didn't none of our class sizes ballooned we didn't lose any of our any of our programs so thank you really make you really make a huge difference here otherwise I will be back next week thank you sir any comments on the public hearing for the 2012 shift open 7 yd budget thank you Charlotte no I just said thank you oh the public hearing for the all right so my fourth year at the old cap I think I got this down now so same I forgot some themes here so what do you think you're going to see some feedback I received so the lcap sometimes um there can be um some questions around how to land with our district district goals so this will be very clear on how our lcap completely aligned with our district goals you'll see the new actions um that are in there you can so that you're not approving the all cap today but you got kind of like a snapshot summary it's very robust takeaways are today are how the lines to our goals um the new actions and the fiscal components so those 3 things will be um the themes and and I'm going to be very succinct today so years ago I would go buy you we would go variety of different ways so I think this will flow a little bit better so so not so with our lcap we this is our district plan so I can basically leverage a variety of different mechanisms what are you using to elicit change some things we are big items we put in there those are usually non-contributing the contributing actions are the snc those are the more detailed information those require more a rich information defendable we can't keep doing that not contributing action that's not working thankfully a lot of our actions are working um not all most are working we're on upward Trend academically um tendance disciplines so we're we're going in the right direction so so if you look at the contributing those are the mandates so those are something where I cannot put I have to put that in and we have to align not contribute to actions with our goals and um our actions within our Healthcare and and right now we're on the last year so this is the third year of our lcap so next year we'll have possibly new goals may look a little different so we're concluding the third year so we got more goals and I'll kind of go into so the elf Gap I bring to you every year it's a mandate it's a requirement we have a uh we have an update a mid year which is a requirement and this is the El Cap where our strategic plan as I kind of um mentioned um specifically this year it's going to reference how the lines to our district goals so when we're looking at alignment we have 4 lcap goals um and those are priorities that are aligned with our district goals those are pre parties where we're we're leveraging money to elicit change with specific areas of subgroups or specific actions that require those non-contributing funds um for within our goal so so the these actions and goals are in alignment and we can only spend our snc funds really around Foster youth social economy disadvantaged and English language Learners so some of those will contribute to those specific subgroups if some of those will also maximize change for um so so we also have state priorities so next next board meeting I'll go over the local controlling indicators those are self-reflection and regarding the 7 State priorities I've been working on those the past week they're they're in our detailed but it's also self-reflection on how these uh 7 goals align with our local control indicators and those are the 7 right there and how about so our first 1 around basic services aligns with call 1 and 4 implementation of the state standards aligns with call 1 and 4 again the parent involvement and these are all these are numerical so when I show those to you next week that'll be 1 2 3 and then you can go to 7 okay involvement in lines of code 3 and 4 student achievement aligns with call 1 student engagement that is called 2 free and form and again State priorities and alignment with the law USD goals School climate is a goal 2 and 4 and the course of access or course broad course of study is goal 1 form so I always try to make it easy we have 4 goals sometimes the fourth goal changes based the mandates in terms of if we didn't make enough growth or we have a certain red areas so our fourth goal um this year and last year's are um our Equity multiplier goals so Equity multiplier even though it doesn't go right to the district it goes to schools it has to be in the old cap and each site has a plan and there are certain ways we can spend the money and that's going forward so our first goal has been around academic excellence and we have actions and goals around their our second goal is around safe and supportive schools our third globe's family Community Partnerships and the fourth goal is the equity multiplier goal um and we also put some CSI in there but the Mandate is the equity multiplier so when we look at again goal 1 teaching and learning this goal has not changed this is going to the same goal right around going into our closing out the third year of the ELCA and this completely aligns with Goal 1 and 2 of of our um yusd goals so so these are some of the areas where you should be aware um again that document is going to be very detailed there's a lot of numbers but what are we kind of doing different and what are we adding so for 1 of the areas we're looking at so um I will present this a little bit later but Brooke goes on a on a on a a committee where we looked at a learner profile some some districts called a graduate profile um it was about 4 to 6 months of work um around with um educational stakeholders students parents it was a very detailed process where we have we have a product that I'll present to you a little bit that's around a learner profile for entire District instead of a graduate profile the folks on the Kennedy thought a learner profile is more um K12 friendly and um I'm excited to present it and thank you quite of that book and so there's going to be some um um there's an action around um the the the the learner profile and CT Pathways work so we're going to continue to look at and leverage those those type of um those type of ways to to engage students and tie things back to the profile so plc's as Brian talked about Brian my first when we first started PLC Brian was he he pushed the count he pushed CCE and um we we got so how long are we doing but it's a it was an area that we continue to grow and this is the kind of the Catapult and Catalyst to continue to make change so there's a there's a goal in there um action 1.7 where we specifically targeted monies um which is contributing funds to to support all all learners um small change so NWA was changing the fast script so we used to have fastbridge as our um as our Benchmark assessment through the lcap we approved it last year so there was some language changed just around the benchmark um we added so so even though the language is UN elementary teacher we can't just add a teacher into the El Cap that's there it would be flagged so what we're doing with this is we're looking at research-based strategies around literacy um so we can leverage more change and get kids privacy based reading quicker because there's a lot of research around the primary areas where um if we're not kids aren't bringing by certain grade levels they are less likely to be successful so we are we did put that in there because it's going to be a research based approach where where where including a teacher with that type of training and foundational knowledge um to work with our students um CPI training so CPI training is is always well received it's just diffusion um it's a it's a way to um help train staff in in Conflict type almost mediation but resolution um it's it's research phase as well it's really through special education and we also found other pair of professionals and other um staff members that are really interested in you know what I want to learn CPI training this is the sahabi defuse this will help me work with students if they're becoming aggressive if they're becoming violent let's so this is so this is an important um which which we put in there and some and that goes with within goal 2 which is our school safety goal intervention teacher so this is exciting so we're we're able to use um a little bit of funds not full-time but we're able to leverage an intervention teacher educational options School specifically AI to look at math and um and Ela to bring some of those academic barriers academic supports um so this is exciting to kind of bring on with that Target approach and then so the lead the learning coupling emergency block grant fund so that's a new mandate where if we're using specific funds such as this it has to be allocated in um in the lcap and we're using it's going to be a math focus a very specific math Focus I want these funds so again goal 2 is around safest supportive schools this aligned with um District go 1 2 and 3 so I'm hoping as we're kind of going through this there's there's easier in alignment so I've not heard kind of how does the Al Capp kind of aligned with our district priorities though this is this is definitely a roadmap to kind of how that goes so I'm getting key action the service is not really significant change so the goals and actions didn't change but we looked at supporting more student services the CPI training um continued uh attendance Improvement efforts are sabhas we're continuing that goal and it's make it I believe it's making difference and I think the school sites do so that is a a continued Improvement where we continue to revisit and look at hey are our actions working and is it making a difference so that 2.2 is uh is a great addition to our district each site has a SATA social emotional learning and then TSS further we use mtss as intervention and Target approach for for Recovery Credit Recovery um engulf it go is our family and Community Partnerships so this this is this aligns with Goal 2 of our district goal and even though each side is doing a variety of different ways to reach out to to our families we can do better and and that's on a district level and and that School site levels we do have Community Schools which has which has been a great benefit I know Mendes has has had a variety of meetings there's a there's a community schools plan around Community wraparound services um Ahwahnee has has some targeted funds around that um around Community Schools just in terms of educational Loft how how does how can we look at wraparound services for Community Schools to benefit our um our student so family engagement events is 3.1 advisory committees and School site councils and our climate survey so this is RC our um Equity multiplier goal so each School is that that receives Equity multiplier has a specific plan this aligns with the 1 and 4 um again 4.1 around intervention teacher which I mentioned ntss professional development for staff and social emotional learning is what the bulk of um of the actions within that goal is what we're spending the funds on so the funding so I hope this makes things very comprehensive so what I'm trying to mention is that so we have a different variety of funding sources in the El Cap again um contributing uh snc funds are the ones that are targeted that are mandated that have to be explained in great detail and if they're not explained in great detail just get these SSC so this is our different funding sources so you'll see maybe an action that's not contributing that doesn't mean it's not important it aligns to our goals in the that makes sense so um so our lcf funds make 57% of the total plan okay a local funds is 28% federal funds is 7 other state funds is 6 so on the expenditures we're looking at planning expenditures around 33 actions around 11 million dollars again this is contributing and not contributing okay and again non-contributing plan things we're doing to leverage change that that correlate with our actions and with our goals really the contributing options is again Charlie mentioned 3 million um 282,000 and there are 16 actions and those are the monies are really rooted in goals 1 and 2 not to say Goals 3 and 4 are important goal Force this Equity multiplier so that's not going to be there and goal 3 we're leveraging change through a different ways but not specifically through essency funds those non-contributing actions which I mentioned 7 million dollars so it's in actions and go 1 and 2 contribute to about 92% of the of the planned expenditures okay uh goal 3 um has a variety of goal for again as I mentioned have um have actions around there but they may not as heavy as I can see any questions nobody else cap is very detailed very dense I'm trying to make it the themes of out Alliance to our goals and the spending because people want to know how expensive money thank you yeah that's cool yeah can I ask you 1 local funds 3.2 million I think we got that so present a different way so special ed funding that comes from the sofa actually is coded at local funds so that would be something that would be local on on a regular budget reports local funding sources yeah local local funding that is 1 of the larger parts of our local funds is what the funding that comes from the SBA so I'm kind of for example an example 2 so the learning emergency recovery block grant fund yeah I was I asked the county where do we where do we where do we code that it's so that's under other funds that's a local that's a that's not that we put that yeah it's not all like developers fees and no Timber fees and what you might think of as a normal and so that's sometimes with the lcap of non-contributing so we have a variety of we're doing I'm a special ed right so that's a non-trading don't have to document right so carefully why but there is for how they're okay that's good but it has to correlate with the goal got you thank you I think Bernie have asked earlier like what are the funds that are sec I think you as that so well I mean it's about 3.2 billion it was just occurring to me that as we've crept up to that 66% um you know duplicate mostly about concentration not right I was and I was just well I was also asking earlier about you're right Brian I was asking about the extra money that's coming in on the budget this year how they're calculating that spent money if it's by our our Eda or total enrollment if it's just by the 220 kids that are actually instead I just was curious what that's going to translate to an overall dollars we're not going to answer on that but maybe 602 that was passed that basically made special event funding based on total and total employment to 188 in the cellphone that's why it's confusing because you don't actually just get that District by District jump into the whole self-love which goes up all the districts of Madera County and also in that is in that sell book so they take the whole 88 for all the cellphones you get that funding for all Ada and then they give percentages based on the amount that you have at your District so so it's not as straightforward of is it on your Ada based on your number of beds missing it's all my cellphone formula just why Charlotte was saying it's a little more we can get more that's that's good enough I I was just I also wanted to know where we were on spit because we we're always hoping we could reduce that % I'm just going to help well yeah I mean the funding is going to help but we do have to get after the we are higher than the state average in terms of the percentage of students in our district that are um categorized as students with disabilities on the other any takeaway to ANC funds as as easy as it is they got all this chunk of money we just can't put things in there so that would be called some planting so if we're doing something already and we go well let's just pay with us and see funds it has to be about Beyond and really do and it has to be defendable so all these things that are in here have to be defendable so sometimes and things get tight well let's just use S and C funds it it it doesn't work like that so I just wanted to bring that bring it forward to SSC funds are very specific and very targeted and they have to kind of pass our district test to pass the county testing thank you I'm not sure it doesn't like groups of planting no I don't like it when the Auditors are talking about it any other public comment for the um public hearing on the bill cap in to conduct the public hearing on formation of school facilities Improvement Improvement District Number 1 of the Unified District okay so I think we have a script that so the next item in the in the public hearing is in Mr board proceeding for the formation of school facilities Improvement District Number 1 of the 7 Unified School District the purpose of the hearing is to allow all interested persons to be current regarding the formation of the sfid I call for a motion and a second to open the public hearing so moved second all those in favor public hearing is now officially open we will now receive comments and questions from any interests of persons when all when all comments have been received the hearing will be closed for sure that starts I'm gonna say that there there's going to be a few items that come before us because the board is interested in you know the possibility of pursuing and so on we were working with Bond Council or illegal Council working with Consultants because there's think that to be done in very specifically and buy the book as a board it may feel a little different from how we conduct business as usual as a support president it's going to be a very very different and some of this thing but just kind of understand like you know when you're going after putting something on a ballot as a ballot measure in your really asking your constituent to consider supporting schools financially there's a lot of things that have to be done exactly in the United States so it'll feel a little bit different but just understand that this is coming through legal counsel and specifically the bonds and we'll make sure that we're doing everything the right way so part of the process is to have a public hearing so I'll just speak a little bit to what we're talking about and then we'll see if we have any public comment so on May 7th um we the board adopted a resolution declaring the intention to form a school facility these improvement district um I'm not going to go into all of the other mambo jumbo lawyer talk but in order to finance school facility improvements for the benefit of the land within the sfid without land outside the sfid so again this is talking about our district has certain boundaries but in order to be able to place on the ballot um of of bond measure that would be specifically for our Elementary's which would be more fair if you will did not put it out to the entire District boundaries um we would need to form this SF ID in order to put a bond address on for an SF ID so the resolution of intention also established the date the time the location of a public hearing to be held on the matter to form it which is this evening is ALS did go in the paper um as it needed to for 2 weeks so but now we are connecting the public hearing on this resolution of intention to form the sfid finance the cost of the elementary school facilities for the benefit of the land within the sfid which would be 44 gold and river gold and so this do you mention any interested persons may I hear and be heard concerning any matters set forth within this resolution of intention anyone else would like to make a statement seeing none this public hearing is now confirmed moving on to number 8 discussion items today first reading generation number 5 for policies and we just have 3 board policies coming forward to the board at this meeting um the first reading no action to take that discussion any questions concerns emotional outbursts moving on to action items number 9 a adoption of resolution 245202618 resolution ordering formation of school facilities Improvement District Number 1 V7 Unified School District and authorizing necessary actual information of their work oh now that we have had a public hearing this evening the board may consider to adopt a resolution to establish an sfid in addition the county of Madera also has passed a resolution solution that they acknowledge the law that you are allowed to create an SSID but we would be is there a motion to approve so moved second second any discussion is it premature to ask do the I don't think I've seen a map yet of the boundaries of the SF ID right and it's with the event oh I missed it that I overlooked it okay and I won't let just follow where your default school is same boundaries same boundaries as we already know okay so like where I live is right it's kind of on the border I think our kids default to best like unified but I'm in a course called zip code so some of us are so I was just was following the same thing where it should be following the same boundaries and then taking out the students that would be going to best okay got you that was it have an answer if I caught that and that I'm sorry I think it looked like there was another exhibit and it continued but we have to be we did have that um map done by the people that do maps yeah any more discussion on tears that a motion to Second so all those in favor say I right adoption of resolution 2025 202619 resolution ordering and election to authorize the issue of school bonds of school facilities improvements District Number 1 of these 70 Unified School District establishing specifications of election order and requesting consent consolidation with any other elections occurring on November 3rd 2026 so now that you have formed an SF ID you can consider a docking and resolution to have an election in that sfid and like we met last week with a special study session and went over what those terms to be um as well as the there is a list of items that could be considered in that election for that bond this resolution would be allow us to be able to um move forward with putting on the ballot for the SF ID and the adoption requires an approval of at least 2/3 of the Court so to be clear the terms that are in that resolution are consistent with the direction gave it the last study session which was the 15 year term 50 move to approve this resolution second discussion those pairs say I uh I see adoption of resolution 2025 202620 resolution order you an election to authorize the issuance screen fall of the 70 US School District establishing specifications of the electronic order and requesting consolidation of any other elections occurring on November 3rd 2026 so this 1 is to be able to go out to look at putting Bond on the November 3rd election for districtwide which would then be to the benefit of the high of the assembly High just for public Clarity those within the sfic would be voting on both correct and those outside the sfid but within our boundaries would vote only on correct the use of the high school bond okay be system is also consistent with direction from the board of the study session which is approximately a 61 million dollar bond with the 15-year term to improve second discussion schools are integral part of fabric of our constitutional republic and the pride that we have in our schools and whether we're going to be a small community and a growing thriving Community depend I'm having schools that people are proud of proud to send their kids to support these monies reflect in communities investment that their pride in schools that they send their kids to can't wait any longer it's over a whole lot uglier than 2 years we don't do it now um for the record for anybody watching at home and anybody in the room um coming to votes on these pretty quickly so after months and months and months and many long um study sessions and lots of research and discussions all around Spirit development so none of this has been come to my way so just for the record just want to say that the Lord is just jumping into something this has been carefully considered all person okay with that discussion all right that's um all those in favor so that will submit for all the paperworks in the county um there will be 2 measures on the November 3rd ballot elementary schools and 1 to approve a bond District wide to benefit by School graduation sick the approval of a 1 to scroll for what the targeting agreement CC it so as we discussed earlier we're going to have 2 public disclosures on here before senator like her name is are brought to you for um negotiations so as I spoke to earlier all of those items are included in the current budget in the disclosure you'll see that the numbers are a tiny bit different because the last board approved budgets that we have with second interim so second interim is used for current year and then I have used the budget that we will be bringing next year or next year next week um as the 2 years out in the multi here continuing those same things moving forward um and so that's what you'll see in the disclosure showing that we can make our obligations with approving those Senate of agreement this 1 is for CSU through second discussion all those in favor say I Great I Am approval of 10 different agreement with csca so um as the board's aware we were we've been negotiating with csca our thank you for being here assuming there is a representative she's our current vice president correct correct so it has been the president for years so um we were able to reach a tentative agreement which is what the board approval tonight the basic tenants of that is a t 2.3% salary sound schedule increased um a Health and Welfare increased based on annual Cola not to exceed 3% it's a Perpetual increase I figure we also included a few longevity stip um in our negotiations and we also increase the disciples when they're classified staff covers things like basketball game dances and things that they do outside of the outside of their Duty day so this is pretty well aligned with the total compensation package that we did with our teachers sociation earlier in the year as well so I would recommend that we approve this 10th of agreement with what csca and also thank Lisa and csca for our negotiation sessions that we were going to talk about thank you also my last 1 you said that before oh no the house is being listed Monday oh okay we're already selling stuff on the mountain soil the Splitters on all those things and then that's for real that's for real yeah that's when you know motion to approve the tenant of agreement will see us the second any discussion thank you everybody involved in all the work that goes into those agreements so all those in favor uh I don't have approval of a1200 public disclosure collection uh collective bargaining agreement again maybe 1,200 we need to do a disclosure every time we're doing something and making um decisions that affect to pay and we have to be able to show the county office and submit to them that we can basically that we can afford this so This 1 is for management um and this will cover not only the tentative agreement but also the revised certificated Management schedule um that is also on the um board agenda this is the 2 understand following what we agreed with UDA and a 480 addition to the Health and Welfare cap so again using second interim last adopted and then using the 2 next year's forward showing that we can um made our obligations with you if you guys choose to approve these agreements so second discussion no all right item to the approval of alternative agreement with the actual alternative agreement um as has been our practice we do negotiations with our our teachers and we do groceries with our class up by staff and depending on where that land we have tried to keep our management um kind of aligned with that and so the proposal this year as Charlotte mentioned is a 2% increase to the certificated and classified management salary schedule along with the 480 increase the Health and Welfare of just consistent with the agreement with teachers so recommending approval for our management staff the move to approve second any discussion all those in favor item 82 2026 2026 7 committee on assignment and proceeds today all right Switching gears to the point Lily new topic so each year we bring this to the board to request approval of committee on climate procedures this is a local assignment option which allows our full-time teachers to complete electives that are outside of their their credential area so we can't only do 4 subjects in the credential area a left dips with this local signal um these teachers must must present their skills in those electives to a committee the committee will then approve them organize them to teach our elective uh we use this primarily in the middle schools because in the high school we already have our single subject teacher seeking electives this is what this allows our general ed Service to actually teach electives to the kids which provide them with a lot of learning opportunities in a rich opportunities they would not receive so we are asking for for questions about this review procedure goes better than the state senate Community College District for the procedure of the tool involvements seeming humans can't ever if there was sort of attaining status of teaching services to our high school students there has been few hurdles yeah with that well this should go much better yeah no script to approve so give me a second any discussion all those in favor I approval of the 70 Unified School District so for me there's no PowerPoint there is a document that is reflective of what the learner profile task force came up um it's great benefits I broke those on there great shape should be it on there um when this is a comprehensive learner profile that reflects the district's vision mission and Community Values the work will engage educational Partners including student staff parents and community members in a structured developmental process culminating in a formal approval by the Board of Trustees so um going back you'll see Madera has a graduate profile you'll see other other districts throughout the state has and there's a state initiative um to have a graduate profile so we're we're we're having it um we we and I'm gonna kind of a little bit of detail how we came about this so we had a course um Jessica was involved because we looked at it through the high school lands a graduate what what are those skills do you need going down to Elementary to high school and we broke it up and and kind of 4 sessions and what's nice is we engage somebody that has experience in developing these profiles that started it through in Madera instead of throughout the state that's done in districts of 15,000 kids so it was a great benefit we had somebody kind of helping us um dollar some crosses but this was a 4 to 6 month design process it included sessions of an overview of a learner profile purpose and process preparation through the review of models and research and planning for educational partner engagement that's consisted of um coming out meeting with staff meeting with parents having nights um um a lot of information surveys and uh we an educational partner uh focus group uh then there was a finalization which is this product and a draft for board consideration so this engagement plan was initiated to ensure a broad input across the district so want to make sure we were very cognizant to make sure we had our our kids evolved so we did presentations at the k8s we went to their staff meetings so they were it was a great benefit they had a big say in kind of what this product looked like the focus groups included multiple student sessions 11 and 12th grade cohorts uh certificate and classified staff kinderg TK to 8th grade and alternative education uh alternative educational options teachers parents recent um in a time to maximize participation representation um Target group was around 20 to 40 students 20 to 30 parents and there was a representative sample of teachers and staff and additional Community educational Partners such as local leaders employment partners and nonprofit organizations and this is an inclusive um process it was it was this is an established learner profile that is both community driven and structurally meaningful and it ensures alignment between District values skills competencies dispositions and students that um and student skills for Success beyond graduation so I'm excited to present this document which will then move into how does this align to our classroom and instruction because this things that are going on in the classroom show live to our district vision of a learner profile so it's exciting questions to approve so moved any discussion I just like to say it was really was really interesting being part of this we saw all kinds of different um examples from other districts I personally thought all of those examples were over complicated you you know like it was just too much stuff going on um and to really break it down you know it's really important things and then the you know the steps for each 1 it was really interesting to get there all of the conversation because you just want to keep adding things to each 1 of those right I mean so it was fun to be a part of that I think I got some stuff out of it personally so I really like this thank you very much thank you for the discussion item J second meeting in adoption of about living in 12 policyholders more deeply so that those 12 policies are back this month for for to consider moving and I would recommend recruiting I get a motion to approve to approve second discussion on any all those in favor item K approval 2025 2026 1764 elections yes so this resolution is something that boards um need to consider whenever they have board members up board member seats up for election which we do have 2 seats up for election this coming um so what this disclosure does is it specifies seeing some office at Myer County how we how we plan to to proceed there's really 3 things we need to answer 1 is who is paying for the candidate that go in there and so when we were recommending to the board that the candidate pay for those statements as opposed to the district paying um the second option we need to choose is um how many words a candidate is allowed to put on there and between 204 we are recommending that our loquacious board members do 200 words as opposed to 400 and then um and then the third item is how would the district deal with a tie or a tie and so um the options is to do something by law and they worked by luck with some kind of game of chance um the second option is to actually conduct a special run off election at the district expense so experience of financial silencing and affecting our fund we are suggesting that we play a game of chance to look at their confidence to do tie as opposed to pay for a lot of election so if the borders through this regular issue you'd really be approving those 3 things on how we would end up uh the elections for the issue board seats upcoming event get creative with that quite a bit Mark I've been can do it with 25 words the second 2 words to approve approve recommended by the staff our motion to approve is recommended by staff second discussion all in favor and now approval of your device certificate management salaries scheduled after July 13th to the board that we we recognize and solve the existing certificate in Management Service um there are lots of language on the existing seller schedule that are no longer in use and we can see them actually being abused and the future we will eliminate it the script um also there are there are 3 changes to current positions 1 would be that I'm recommending that we increase the days for our nurse from 180 days to 1908 currently the nurse only works school days there's a lot of compliance items there's a lot of things that can be done before and after school so this is how we schedule would include would include the nurse moving to the same range of our psychologists and speech language pathologist really what it means is that um she would have 10 more days of work or 10 more days of pay not really increased it's worked it's it's for those reasons the second change here would be um the counselors um our counselors have been on a 19 step uh pay range um however all other certificated management positions have always become a 10-step pay rate which actually is more in line with our classified um salary schedule as well so the recommending that we rely 10 steps of the 19 step scale for passengers as opposed to the full 19 this will make us much more competitive um in that world we'll still be behind a little bit but much much more competitive so we've increased our counselors significantly over the years and increased the duties and the expectations on their counselors and then the Third change is that you know we did eliminate 1 management position in our last round of budget cuts but those responsibilities still need to be fulfilled and so my recommendation is that we take the current special ed director position and rename that to special ed and student services director position um that physician we take on not only special a but also the Extended Learning Program and also the community schools program which was a responsibility of the management position that we've eliminated from the district and then that would come also with a movement on the on the Range so we'd be going for from 9 ranges that we have right now many of them unused things like 1 B's and 1 C's and things like that to just a straight line to the 45 much more clear much more represents where we're at and much more um meets the needs of the district at this point forward so um uh I recommend that moving forward um as a reflection of the needs of our district from our certificate of the United States all right made a motion to approve

during this meeting and copy is available from the district office on request is there a motion to approve the proposed super dependent employment agreement motion to approve the new superintendent agreement second um is there any discussion all those in favor I number 10 is informational items additional items we have the enrollment report and then also the um discipline report so um enrollment at we know 3020 students from last year something we got to keep an eye on is something that we really need to plan for of what we're going to do for all the reasons we heard we heard tonight um I do want to say on I'm really proud of our school sites especially the even though we have that inclining enrollment the work that our school sites did with attendance what is allowed us to teach some of the programs and do the things that we did shown in each University you can offset defining enrollments somewhat with incremental tenants although it doesn't entirely um offset it so thank you maybe J Jessica purely with a great job with that on the discipline realm you've heard the G4S monthly and now we're at the end of the year and I think 1 of those all said and done there's 140 fewer days that were missed due to the suspensions um also across those schools but I want to be clear that this isn't about like don't suspend kids this is about um change students behaviors for the better this is about decreasing the behaviors that lead suspension not just increasing suspensions and we've got work of our student attendance and behavior Advocate at Lisa's 1 at at Ops I think that's the way huge difference in all of our schools just the the mindset and the messages from our principles um around the schools around you know we don't just send students home and hope they come back behave even better we actually teach behavior and we work with students to to do that so just really proud of the work that they've done throughout this year and I know that they have always to continue that work so if you don't make that many comments about disappointment but it's really should be a pipeline that we're that we're proud of is about 3 or 4 years ago our suspension rates were getting close to 20% the Statewide suspension is 3% we were almost 7 times above the state of that suspension rate we're still a little bit above the Statewide average we're so much closer to to getting their just due to the good work of our teachers or classified staff our leaders are really working closely with kids to make it happen we should be provided be proud of of having high expectations of us you know that um we went long first closed session but we of course we did not get everything done that we need to get done so we don't have to gamble into our closed session number to how long do you anticipate that second closed session or less I will say there won't be anything to report out second closed session it's just a closed session discussion with what they have about what we talked about but there won't be like don't wait at first Tony I love this yeah sorry 7
