STARTED CLEAR DOWN IN SAN BERNARDINO UNIFIED ANSWERING PHONES, SUPPORTING TEACHERS OVER THE PHONE, PUTTING PAPER AND PRINTERS OVER PHONE, REALLY IN THE TRENCHES OF IT. AND FROM THERE IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG. I WORKED UNDER BILL KLÖPPING FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AT VICTOR EL, AND REALLY GOT MY TEETH IN IT AS A COMPUTER TECHNICIAN THERE AFTER, LIKE I SAID, ABOUT SEVEN YEARS, I THE BILL CLAPPING REALLY GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO STEP UP AND KIND OF GUIDE SOME PROJECTS OUTSIDE OF MY STATION. AND I DID THE FIRST CHROMEBOOK ROLLOUT THERE. I THINK WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST ONES TO DO THE 1 TO 1, AND WITH THAT, WE DID THE I WAS CHROME DOG, SO EVEN DID THE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. DON'T GOOGLE THAT. IT'S EMBARRASSING, BUT THAT NICKNAME HAS STUCK WITH ME. AND WHEN I WENT OUT THERE TO HELENDALE, IT WAS A CHALLENGE. I WAS A ONE MAN BAND. THEY DID NOT HAVE INTERNET. THEY DID NOT HAVE. THEY BARELY HAD IT. THEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN SIS CHANGEOVER, AND OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS I GOT GRANTS. I GOT A $10 MILLION GRANT TO GET FIBER PULLED INTO HELENDALE. I GOT THEM INTO THE GOOGLE SUITE, I GOT THEM, I BUILT THE NETWORK, I BUILT IT AND IT THERE'S AN IMMENSE SENSE OF PRIDE FOR ME, FOR WHAT I'VE HAD TO CREATE OUT THERE IN THAT SMALL TOWN, SMALL TOWN.

AND I GO DOWN THERE AND THE SECURITY GUARD SITTING IN HIS OFFICE, AND HE GOES, HEY, I NEED YOU TO SHOW ME HOW TO MOVE THESE FILES ONTO A FLOPPY DISK. I KNOW I AGED MYSELF THERE, AND I REMEMBER SITTING DOWN WITH HIM AND SHOWING HIM THE STEPS THROUGH IT, HAD HIM TAKE NOTES AND PUT IT ON A POST-IT NOTE. AND ABOUT 3 OR 4 MORE TIMES THAT YEAR, I WAS CALLED BACK TO THAT OFFICE TO HELP. AND I REMEMBER THAT MOMENT OF PLEASURE AND JOY THAT I GOT FROM HELPING SOMEBODY ELSE DO THEIR JOB.

[6. BARGAINING UNIT REPORTS]
HE'S HERE. HEY. I'D LIKE TO PRESENT A CHECK. I'M JUST KIDDING. HELLO. MY NAME IS MIKE MAYO. I'M VICTOR VALLEY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT. I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HOW SUMMER SCHOOL IS GETTING RUN THIS YEAR. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. CAROL CRONK, RAMONA YEE, ROSIE HINOJOS I SAW ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT ACTUALLY CAME TO VISIT ME IN MY OWN CLASSROOM. IT WAS NICE, VERY CLEAN CAMPUS HOOK. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO HOOK, CHECK IT OUT. IT'S NICE AND CLEAN. WE HAVE. I AM KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT THE DATA BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE DOING SUMMER SCHOOL A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. I KNOW WE RUN THINGS THROUGH DATA AT FIRST. I KNOW IT WAS A RICKETY START, AT LEAST FOR MY STUDENTS, BECAUSE AT LEAST WITH MY CLASSES, WE'RE DOING APEX. AND SO IT'S DIFFERENT IN THAT YOU ARE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KIND OF TRY TO GET STARTED AND HAVE SOME MOTIVATION TO GET IT DONE. A LOT OF THEM HAVE GOTTEN IT DONE. I HAVE A FEW STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED ONE COURSE AND THEY'RE COMPLETING A SECOND COURSE. I'VE HEARD OF OTHER STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED TWO COURSES WHO ARE TRYING TO COMPLETE THREE, AND SO IT IS POSSIBLE I AM. I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHAT THE DATA IS GOING TO SHOW US. BY THE TIME IT'S ALL DONE, THOUGH, I[00:20:05]
WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ERICA, WHO'S RUNNING IT, THE COUNSELORS WHO ARE AT THE POST WORKING ALL THE TIME, TEACHERS, ALL THE SUPPORT STAFF. THEY'VE BEEN VERY GENEROUS WITH THEIR TIME AND THEY'RE VERY FAST, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO LIKE, THE CLEANUP. I THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY MADE UP THE CREDITS. AND THE MORE YOU GET, THE BETTER OFF WE'RE GOING TO BE. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM ALL A THROUGH G.

I WOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS LAST TIME, BUT I WASN'T HERE LAST TIME AND SO I MENTIONED IT NOW. SO I WANT TO ALSO THANK THE BOARD FOR RATIFYING OUR MEMBERSHIP RATIFIED WITH OVER 98%. I BELIEVE WE HAVE MANY MOUS OUT THERE. I HAVE A PACKET OF MOUS. IN FACT, I WAS TALKING TO JARED, WHO'S ALSO OUR SECRETARY, BESIDES BEING THE LEAD NEGOTIATOR, AND HE HAS ALL OF THEM, AND WE JUST HAD AN AWFUL LOT OF MOUS. NOT SAYING THAT'S A BAD THING, I'M JUST SAYING JUST MENTIONING THAT. AND SO SOME OF THESE THINGS, I THINK THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL. AND I WANT TO THANK THE BOARD FOR MOVING FORWARD AND APPROVING THOSE AS WELL. WE ARE MOVING INTO A CULTURE THAT IS MORE OF ACADEMICS, WHICH I THINK IS VERY HELPFUL. WE'VE BEEN STEALING, HOPEFULLY STEALING STUDENTS FROM OTHER DISTRICTS, OR MAYBE IF THEY WERE GOING TO A DIFFERENT DISTRICT, HOPEFULLY THEY'RE COMING BACK TO US, YOU KNOW, AND I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT I'M SORRY THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THAT'S GOOD FOR US. WE ARE LOSING AN IMPORTANT PERSON.DAVE BERTELSEN. HE HAS BEEN A HALLMARK OF THE DISTRICT FOR SO LONG, AND HE HAS CONSISTENTLY MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO TECHNOLOGY IN THE DISTRICT. I WANT TO SAY WELCOME TO JOSH MAYS. YOU HAVE BIG SHOES TO FILL FROM THE STORY THAT YOU'VE TOLD. I'M GLAD THAT YOU'LL BE I'M GLAD YOU'RE THE PERSON WHO WILL BE FILLING THOSE THOSE SHOES. AND ALSO A GRADUATE AND WILL ALSO A STUDENT OF VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS TWO AND KEN CROSBY WAS MY ENGLISH TEACHER AND AT THE TIME MY SPANISH TEACHER. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNEW HE DID SPANISH TOO. I DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU GRADUATE.
I'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT LATER, BUT WE'LL SEE. IF WE EVEN CAME TO THE SAME CAMPUS AT THE SAME TIME. I WANT TO ADD THIS. WE'RE NOT JUST STEALING. HOPEFULLY, STUDENTS FROM OTHER PLACES.
WE'RE STEALING STAFF TOO. I HEAR I GET I GET CALLS AND SOMETIMES TEXT MESSAGES. AND IN THIS CASE, I GOT A TEXT MESSAGE FROM NAOMI GANSKE. WHO? GANSKE, WHO IS THE FORMER TEACHER ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT AT HELENDALE, WHO SHE JUST GAVE ME A LIKE A MEAN TEXT. IT WAS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. SHE GOES, HEY, SO WHAT? SO WHAT'S UP WITH THIS? WHY IS IT THAT WHY IS IT THAT OUR DISTRICT IS GOING TO SUFFER NOW BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GETTING ALL THIS GOOD STUFF? SO I WAS LIKE, WELL, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? AND SO AND SO SHE GOES, WELL, WE'RE LOSING. WE'RE WE'RE LOSING OUR TECH GUY. AND HE'S GOING TO BE WITH YOU NOW. AND IT'S LIKE, REALLY? IT'S LIKE, WELL, YOU'RE LOST. IT'S GOING TO BE OUR WIN. AND SO IF AND ME, I DON'T MIND THAT IF THEY'RE UPSET BECAUSE WE'RE TAKING SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE FROM THEIR DISTRICTS, I'M REALLY I'M OKAY WITH THAT. SO IF WE CAN KEEP THAT UP, THAT'D BE GREAT.

FIRST READING ANYTHING. SO WE ARE JUST PROPOSING TO ADOPT THE KSBA BOARD POLICY ON USE OF DISTRICT VEHICLES. AND PRIMARILY THIS NEEDS TO BE PUT IN PLACE SO THAT WE CAN FORM BOTH FORMALIZE AND STREAMLINE OUR PROCESS FOR APPROVING EMPLOYEES TO USE OUR DISTRICT VEHICLES. SO THIS IS THE FIRST READING. THIS MAY SOUND SILLY, BUT DO WE STILL HAVE DISTRICT VEHICLES OTHER THAN MAINTENANCE? THE POLICE? YES, AND WE'RE GETTING MORE AND MORE. SO WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND GET THIS IN PLACE. WE JUST GOT A ALMOST A FLEET OF VANS OVER AT SILVERADO RECENTLY. AND SO WE NEED TO. IS THAT SOLELY FOR SILVERADO? YES. THOSE VANS ARE. YEAH. THE OTHER STEPCHILD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN IS GOING TO GET SOME TOO. I HOPE THEY CAN THEY CAN PRIORITIZE THEIR FUNDS.

IT'S JUST THAT THEY PUT CLAIM TO IT FIRST AND IT'S STILL DOWN THE CORNER FROM ME, BECAUSE SOMEBODY BOUGHT IT AND STILL PAINTED THAT. THAT BEAUTIFUL SILVERADO BLUE. ALL RIGHT. SORRY, GUYS. OKAY. PUBLIC HEARING, LOCAL CONTROL[14. PUBLIC HEARING]
ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN TO INCLUDE BUDGET OVERVIEW FOR PARENTS OKAY. WE DON'T HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT OR WHO'S SPEAKING ON THAT. OH MISS REBECCA, HE'S GOT TO OPEN THE TIME FOR YOU. 407 THE HEARING OPENS AT 407. YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE TIME. YEAH. THIS IS FANCY. HI, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS REBECCA COOK. I'M THE DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION AND OTHER THINGS. BUT TODAY I'M THE DIRECTOR OF LCAP, AND I JUST WANT TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES TALKING TO YOU ABOUT OUR PLAN THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS WRITTEN FOR 2025, 2026 SCHOOL YEAR. MY GOAL TODAY IS TO HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNDING FORMULA, TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PARTNER FEEDBACK THAT WE WORKED WITH, AND THEN TELL YOU ABOUT OUR PROPOSED GOALS AND ACTIONS SO QUICKLY. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH HOW FUNDING WORKS IN CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS, WE HAVE A BASE GRANT. OUR BASE GRANT IS BASED ON A PER PUPIL FUNDING, AND PER PUPIL FUNDING IS DIFFERENT BASED ON THE AGES OF THE PUPIL SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS. WE GET RIGHT AROUND A LITTLE OVER $10,000 PER STUDENT, NINTH THROUGH 12TH GRADE STUDENTS. WE GET A LITTLE OVER $12,000 PER STUDENT NOW. WE ALSO GET A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY BASED ON THE STUDENTS THAT COME TO OUR SCHOOLS. THAT'S CALLED A SUPPLEMENTAL GRANT, AND THAT'S FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE LOW INCOME FOSTER YOUTH OR ENGLISH LEARNERS. WE GET A LITTLE BUMP FOR THAT. THEN IF THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF THEM, WE GET ANOTHER BUMP, THE CONCENTRATION GRANT. SO ALL TOGETHER THAT COMES UP TO A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY. THAT IS PART OF THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT ON THURSDAY. SO COME ON BACK FOR THAT PRESENTATION. BUT BOTTOM LINE IT'S ABOUT 49 A LITTLE OVER $49 MILLION. THAT'S PART OF THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA THAT IS REALLY COVERED THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TODAY IN THE LCAP. SO THE ALL CAPS ARE THREE YEAR PLAN. WE'RE IN YEAR TWO OF OUR THIRD YEAR PLAN. IT MUST ADDRESS EIGHT STATE AND LOCAL PRIORITIES. AND IT REALLY DESCRIBES THE GOALS, ACTIONS AND EXPENDITURES THAT REALLY THE GOAL IS ALWAYS TO SUPPORT POSITIVE STUDENT OUTCOMES. OKAY. SO PEOPLE SAY I TALK FAST. SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW.THE GOAL OF THE LCAP IS TO TAKE OUR DISTRICT, OUR OUR DISTRICTS AND OUR OUR OUR GOALS AND EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING, EXPLAIN IT TO EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS, WHY WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHAT WE WANT TO DO, GET THEIR FEEDBACK. WHAT DO THEY WANT? WHAT WORKS FOR OUR EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS? WHAT WORKS FOR OUR STUDENTS? WHAT WORKS FOR OUR FAMILIES? HOW DO WE BRING THOSE TWO THINGS TOGETHER AND MAKE A PLAN? OKAY. AND THE PLAN, OF COURSE, NEEDS TO BE ALIGNED WITH OUR DISTRICT GOALS AND VISION. AND SO HERE'S WHAT WE DO. WE MEET WITH STUDENTS. WE MEET WITH FAMILIES. WE MEET WITH THE COMMUNITY. WE MEET WITH STAFF AND WE MEET WITH ADMINISTRATORS. WE DO THAT AT SCHOOL SITES. WE DO THAT AT THE MOST FUN AND EXCITING LCAP ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT SOME OF YOU IN THIS ROOM HAVE ATTENDED. I SEE MR. MYERS LAUGHING BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH FUN. WE DO SCHOOL SITE PARENT MEETINGS RIGHT AFTER THOSE. THIS YEAR WE DID OUR STUDENT MEETINGS AND WE MEET WITH ALL KINDS OF KIDS. WE ASK PRINCIPALS, GET US ALL YOUR KIDS. DON'T GIVE ME JUST YOUR TOP 3%. WE WANT EVERYONE. AND BOY DID WE HEAR SOME GOOD STUFF THIS YEAR. WE SIT IN THE STUDENT ADVISORY, THE SUPERINTENDENT STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, ON AND ON AND ON. WE GET A LOT OF INPUT FROM PARENTS AT SCHOOL SITES. WE GET A LOT OF INPUT FROM PARENTS AT THE DLAP, THE DISTRICT ADVISORY LEARNER COMMITTEE. SO THOSE ARE AND ALSO DAYPACK. I WENT TO DAYPACK ACTUALLY TWICE THIS YEAR AND GOT SOME GOOD INFORMATION AND INPUT FROM THESE, FROM THESE EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS. AND THEN HERE'S SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE. THEY THEY TALKED ABOUT CLEANLINESS OF OUR CAMPUS. THEY TALKED ABOUT SUPERVISION. THEY TALKED ABOUT SAFETY AT SCHOOL SITES. THEY TALKED ABOUT THE SUPPORT FOR SMALLER CLASS SIZES INCREASING AND DUAL ENROLLMENT. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP HERITAGE AND LEGACY. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH BILINGUAL STAFF TO ADDRESS OUR OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE BILINGUAL, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE EXTRA THE MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIANS AT OUR CAMPUSES, THAT WE'RE PROMOTING THE PBIS STRUCTURES ON OUR SCHOOLS, AND THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING PARENT INVOLVEMENT. AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS IN OUR LCAP THEY'RE ALL CALLED
[00:35:03]
OUT IN THERE. YOU ARE WELCOME TO READ THE 219 PAGES, OR I WILL HAVE A ONE ON ONE WITH YOU IF YOU WANT ME TO JUST SHARE THE HIGHLIGHTS, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE THE BIG PIECES OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE LCAP AND HOW IT GETS TO STAY IN THE LCAP IS BASED ON OUR FEEDBACK, AND THE FEEDBACK OF WHAT WE DO IS WE ALSO LOOK AT DATA, WE LOOK AT OUR METRICS, AND WE SAY, GREAT THAT YOU LIKE THAT. BUT IS IT WORKING RIGHT? IS HERITAGE AND LEGACY WORKING FOR OUR KIDS? ARE THEY ARE WE INCREASING A THROUGH G? DO TESTING INCENTIVES HELP KIDS DO BETTER ON THE TEST? OR WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED TO DO? OKAY, DO OUR KIDS FEEL MORE SAFE AT SCHOOL? THAT'S A PANORAMA SURVEY RESULT. SO WE LOOK AT ALL OF OUR DATA TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS ACTUALLY WORKING. SO LET ME TELL YOU QUICKLY ABOUT OUR YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT OUR DISTRICT. I BOUGHT A PIECE OF PAPER, TWO PIECES OF PAPER. WE KNOW THAT OUR DISTRICT PRIORITIES ARE A THROUGH G. WE WANT TO GET TO THAT 75% BY 2027. WE WANT TO FOCUS ON ESSENTIAL STANDARDS. WE WANT TO INCREASE LITERACY WITH OUR STUDENTS. OUR VALUES ARE EQUITY, PROFICIENCY AND A FOCUS ON RESULTS. AND WHEN WE HAVE OUR LCAP MEETINGS, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT, AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE COME BACK TO WHEN WE SAY, IF WE WANT THIS, DOES IT ADDRESS ONE OF THESE? BECAUSE IF IT DOESN'T ADDRESS THIS OR THE NEEDS OF OUR KIDS, THEN IT DOESN'T WORK. RULE NUMBER ONE IS WHAT I CALL THE ACADEMIC GOAL. THAT'S OUR REALLY LOOKING AT IS OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM. DOES IT MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS? IS IT EQUITY BASED AND IS THERE MEASURABLE IMPACT? AGAIN, IN GOAL NUMBER ONE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MEASURING THINGS LIKE A THROUGH G. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MEASURING PARTICIPATION IN OUR LEGACY PROGRAM. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CREDIT RECOVERY. IS THAT REALLY HELPING BY HAVING CREDIT RECOVERY IN OUR SCHOOLS? ARE MORE KIDS GRADUATING? ARE MORE KIDS EARNING A THROUGH G ELIGIBILITY? WE'RE SUPPORTING OUR SPECIAL ED KIDS. WE'RE SUPPORTING THE PERSONAL LEARNING PATHWAYS. THAT'S OUR VIRTUAL ACADEMY. WE'RE SUPPORTING EQUITY IN TEACHING. LEARNING REALLY JUST MEANS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON SUPPORTING OUR TEACHERS THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING. WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR ENGLISH LEARNERS, OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS, AND WE HAVE TO HAVE IN THERE THAT WE HAVE APPROPRIATELY CREDENTIALED TEACHERS. THAT ONE DOESN'T COST US VERY MUCH MONEY, BUT WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR, OUR, OUR TEACHERS ARE APPROPRIATELY CREDENTIALED IN WHAT THEY'RE TEACHING. THAT'S GOAL NUMBER ONE. IT'S OUR BIGGEST GOAL. GOAL NUMBER ONE METRICS. AS I MENTIONED, EVERYTHING WE LOOK AT WHAT ARE THE METRICS RIGHT. HOW IS IT MEASURED. WE ALWAYS PUT THE DASHBOARD IN THERE. THAT'S WHAT THE STATE LOOKS AT. THAT'S WHAT THE COMMUNITY LOOKS AT WHEN THEY'RE MOVING HERE. THEY'RE LIKE IS THIS A GOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT RIGHT. IS THIS A GOOD PLACE TO RAISE MY KIDS? WE LOOK AT CAL PADS, THE CTE PATHWAY, COMPLETERS ENROLLMENT AND COURSES ARE DROPOUT RATES. AND OUR A THROUGH G COMPLETION, AS I'VE MENTIONED PROBABLY SEVEN TIMES ALREADY. AND THEN WE LOOK AT OUR LOCAL INDICATORS, WHICH I'M ALSO GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT AT OUR NEXT MEETING. IF YOU WANT TO COME BACK ON THURSDAY. WE LOOK AT OUR LOCAL INDICATORS, MEANING OUR STAR READING, OUR MATH SCORES, OUR RECLASSIFICATION RATES, WHICH ARE GOING UP EVERY YEAR, OUR AP PASS RATES, THINGS LIKE THAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GOAL NUMBER TWO IS OUR CULTURE. IS OUR CLIMATE GOAL RIGHT. LIKE DO WE HAVE A POSITIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE. DO OUR KIDS FEEL SAFE AT SCHOOL. AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN? THIS IS THE ONE WHERE THE COMMUNITY REALLY LIKES TO GET INVOLVED. THIS IS THE ONE WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL WELLNESS. OKAY, HOME AND DISTRICT CONNECTIONS. THE PARENT SQUARE, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT. HOME TO SCHOOL CONNECTIONS. WHAT ARE OUR FAMILY ENGAGEMENT LIAISONS DOING TO CONNECT WITH OUR SCHOOL SITES? SAFETY AND SECURITY. RIGHT HERE IN THE ROOM RIGHT THERE IN THE EL CAP SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS. AGAIN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RESOURCES AND RECOGNITION.WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE AN INCENTIVE TO SAY TO KIDS, LET'S MAKE THIS TEST MEANINGFUL TO YOU. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE IT MEANING FOR YOU? SO THINGS LIKE THAT ARE OUR IN GOAL NUMBER TWO OKAY. THE WAY WE MEASURE THAT AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM WHEN WE'RE SEEING CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM NOT DECREASE. THEN WE HAVE TO LOOK AND GO, WHAT IS IT THAT'S NOT WORKING? WHAT DO WE NEED TO KEEP? WHAT DO WE NEED TO TOSS? WHAT DO WE NEED TO IMPROVE? THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE IN OUR LCAP MEETINGS. WE LOOK AT DROPOUT RATES. WE LOOK AT THAT PANORAMA SURVEY AND SEE IF WE'RE INCREASING IN SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS. ARE OUR PARENTS CONNECTED? ARE OUR KIDS CONNECTED? AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR LOCAL ATTENDANCE AND OUR EXPULSION MEETINGS. AND THEN IT SOUNDS ODD, BUT WE REALLY DO PULL THE SIGN IN SHEETS FOR OUR PARENT MEETINGS. HOW MANY PARENTS ARE COMING TO MEETINGS? AT WHAT SCHOOLS? HOW MANY OF THEM ARE COMING TO THOSE FABULOUS LCAP MEETINGS DLAC THINGS LIKE THAT? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO BE PART OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY? GOAL THREE IS ALL ABOUT CLEAN CAMPUSES. IT'S KIND OF LIKE THAT PRIORITY GOAL THAT EVERYBODY HAS TO HAVE IN THEIR IN THEIR DISTRICT, WHERE WE TALK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE DAVE GOAL. IT'S NOT PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO BE RENAMED. WE WANT TO DAVE AND BRETT, ACTUALLY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR FACILITIES ARE IN GOOD REPAIR, THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY, THAT WE'RE USING,
[00:40:02]
STANDARDS BASED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, AND THAT WE PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT, RIGHT. THAT'S PART OF OUR LCAP. AND WE LOOK AT THAT. AND THAT'S WHEN THOSE CONVERSATIONS THAT I KNOW WE'RE STARTING TO HAVE AROUND WHAT IS OUR WHAT ARE OUR BOUNDARIES FOR TRANSPORTATION. AGAIN, METRICS WE'RE LOOKING AT WE GOT TO GET OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL ABSENTEEISM, SUSPENSION SIMILAR SIMILAR METRICS FOR THAT ONE. OKAY. AND OUR LAST GOAL THAT I REALLY WANT TO POINT OUT TO YOU IS OUR GOAL NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS TO SUPPORT OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS.THIS WAS A GOAL THAT WAS CREATED ACTUALLY ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, MAYBE FIVE. AND WE DECIDED IT'S NOT A MANDATORY GOAL. IT'S ONE, TWO AND THREE ARE GOALS THAT EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS. WE CHOSE TO KEEP OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN GOAL BECAUSE WE WANT TO KEEP OUR EYE ON OUR STUDENTS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING ALL THE SUPPORT FOR THEM THAT WE CAN. SO WE USED TO HAVE ANOTHER GOAL FOR OUR FOSTER YOUTH. WE ACTUALLY ROLLED THAT IN TO OUR OTHER GOALS, ONE AND TWO. BUT WE ARE KEEPING THIS PARTICULAR GOAL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING THE FOCUS ON OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS. OKAY. THAT'S OUR HERITAGE PROGRAM. AND AGAIN, WE'RE MEASURING THAT BY GRADUATION RATES, COLLEGE AND CAREER INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD SUSPENSION RATES. ALL RIGHT. NOW THE END OF THE MY SHORT PRESENTATION TODAY IS REALLY ABOUT OUR EQUITY MULTIPLIER GOALS, WHICH WE'VE TALKED JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WITH REGARDS TO THE VANS AND SILVERADO. EACH SCHOOL WHO MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS WITH MORE THAN 70% SOCIALLY ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS AND GREATER THAN 25% DISABILITY RATE WILL GET EXTRA MONEY. NOW THEY HAVE TO FOCUS THEIR MONEY ON THEIR STUDENTS IN RED ON THE DASHBOARD, AND THAT'S WHEN IT GETS CHALLENGING FOR THEM. AND YES, THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND, BUT THEY HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT HOW THEY SPEND IT AND HOW THEY'RE SHOWING RESULTS. SAME THING. THEY ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS GET EQUITY MULTIPLIER EXCEPT FOR SIMS AND UP. ADELANTO DID NOT QUALIFY FOR NEW MONEY, BUT THEY STILL HAVE THE MONEY FROM LAST YEAR TO SPEND. EVERY SCHOOL GETS THREE YEARS TO SPEND THEIR EQUITY MULTIPLIER FUNDS AND JUST A SHORT THING WHAT THE SCHOOLS ARE LOOKING AT, THEY HAD TO DO A NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THEY HAD TO MEET WITH THEIR THEIR COMMUNITY GROUPS. THEIR GOALS ARE OUTLINED IN THEIR SYNAPSES, THEIR SCHOOL PLANS. THEY'RE LOOKING AT PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, IMPROVING. WE KNOW THAT THE CLOSEST THING TO STUDENT LEARNING IS IN THE CLASSROOM, RIGHT? SO WE'RE MAKING SURE WE HAVE THOSE HIGHLY TRAINED TEACHERS LEARNING LAB SUPPORTS FOR OUR STUDENTS WELLNESS CENTERS. THOSE ARE THE BIG PIECES IN OUR IN OUR EQUITY MULTIPLIER GOALS. AND THAT'S KIND OF ALL I HAVE. SO THIS IS JUST OUR PROPOSAL THAT WE'RE HOPING THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL SAY, YEAH, WE THINK THIS IS GREAT. THIS IS AVAILABLE TO YOU TO LOOK AT. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED ANYTHING FROM ME, LET ME KNOW. YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT THE EMAIL ADDRESS ON THE SCREEN AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE ADOPTED ON JUNE 26TH. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY TO FOR 20. OKAY. NEXT.
REBECCA. REBECCA, JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION ON THE SLIDE. I NOTICED THAT THE WAY IS NOT UP THERE.
THEY DON'T GET EQUITY MULTIPLIER MONEY. OH THEY OH I DIDN'T MENTION THAT. YEAH THEY DON'T GET IT OKAY I APOLOGIZE. NO IT'S OKAY. DON'T GET IT OKAY. THANK YOU. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE SO NEW OR IS IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE TRANSIENT RATE REQUIREMENTS RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE NON STABILITY RATE ISN'T THERE. YEAH THAT'S KIND OF A GOOD THING. IT'S A GOOD THING.
IT'S A GOOD THING NOT TO GET IT JUST AS A CHECK. BUT IT'S A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD IF HE GETS IT RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. PUBLIC HEARING 2526 PROPOSED BUDGET. S? SO MOVE. WELL, IT'S NOT EVEN REALLY A MOVEMENT. THAT'S A 420. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU REBECCA I THINK IT'S PROBABLY TORTURE FOR YOU GUYS TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THESE PRESENTATIONS BACK TO BACK. SO I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU MORE BUDGET DATA. SO REBECCA GAVE YOU LCAP KIND OF LCAP OVERVIEW AND DATA, KEEPING IN MIND AS WE GO THROUGH THE ANNUAL BUDGET, THE $49 MILLION THAT SHE MENTIONED, THAT'S PART OF THE LCAP IS INCLUDED IN THE OVERALL BUDGET THAT I'LL BE DISCUSSING MOVING FORWARD HERE.
OKAY. SO TO GET US STARTED, I JUST WANT TO GO OVER WHAT SOME OF THE THEMES ARE FOR THE FOR THE 25, 26TH MAY REVISION. SO GOVERNOR NEWSOM, YOU KNOW, RELEASED HIS MAY REVISION DURING A TIME OF VERY SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT EMPHASIS THIS YEAR ON FEDERAL POLICY AND THE IMPAC, ITS IMPACTS ON CALIFORNIA, ITS
[00:45:01]
IMPACTS ON TRADE, TOURISM AND IMMIGRATION, AS WE FIRST SEEN IN HIS 2020, IN HIS JANUARY 2020 BUDGET PROPOSAL, THE GOVERNOR'S PLANNING TO UNDER APPROPRIATE THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE FOR PROP 98. AND SO FOR THE MAY REVISION. THAT'S TO A TUNE OF $1.3 BILLIO. HIS MAY REVISION HAS HAS PROJECTS BOTH LOWER REVENUES AND INCREASED COSTS THAN HIS JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL DID. SO, IN ORDER TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS AND DEFICITS. HE'S HE'S PROPOSING A NUMBER OF THINGS SUCH AS, YOU KNOW, A COMBINATION OF REDUCTIONS, BORROWING, FUNDING SHIFTS, DEFERRALS, ETC. BUT EVEN THROUGH ALL OF THIS, PROP 98, WHICH IS HOW EDUCATION IS FUNDED, REMAINS MOSTLY INSULATED FROM FROM THESE BUDGETARY, BUDGETARY ISSUES. SO THE SO OUR BUDGET IN CALIFORNIA IS REALLY DRIVEN BY WHAT WE CALL THE BIG THREE. SO THAT IS IT'S THE SOURCES OF STATE REVENUE. SO IT'S PERSONAL INCOME TAX, CORPORATE TAX SALES AND USE TAXES. AND UNFORTUNATELY OVER THE NEXT THREE YEAR BUDGET WINDOW, THOSE REVENUES ARE PROJECTED TO BE DOWN ABOUT 4.8 BILLION COMPARED TO HIS JANUARY PROPOSAL. JOB GROWTH HAS ALSO BEEN DOWNGRADED. THERE IS A WEAKER LABOR MARKET OUT THERE. AND AGAIN, FEDERAL POLICY CHANGES ARE PUTTING CONSTRAINTS ON JOBS. WE ARE ASSUMING INFLATION AT ABOUT 1%. AND THEN THE MAY REVISION ALSO ASSUMES WHAT WE'RE CALLING A GROWTH RECESSION. SO WE ARE NOT IN AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. WE'RE NOT IN A RECESSION. WE ARE GROWING, BUT WE'RE GROWING AT A SLOWER RATE.AND THEN WITH RISING UNEMPLOYMENT, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT MAKES WHAT WE CALL A GROWTH, GROWTH RECESSION. AND SO JUST FYI, SLOW GROWTH IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH 2028. ONE THING TO NOTE, THE MAY REVISION ALSO TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE IMPACT OF TARIFFS. AND SO IT'S PROJECTING THAT TARIFFS WILL IMPACT US TO THE TUNE OF 27%. AND THAT'S COMPARED TO 2.4% OVER LAST YEAR. SO PROP 98. SO PROP 98 IS THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE IS DOWN ABOUT $4.6 BILLION OVER THIS THREE YEAR BUDGET PERIOD. AND SO THERE ARE SEVERAL SOLUTIONS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED TO FUND THAT $4.6 BILLION. SOME OF ONE OF THEM, SOME OF THEM ARE LIKE ONE TIME FUNDING, ONE TIME FUNDING SOLUTIONS TO THE TUNE OF 2.9 BILLION FUNDING TO SUPPORT CORE PROGRAMS AND T T K THROUGH 14 PROGRAMS. AND THEN ONCE AGAIN, WE WILL BE DEPLETING THE RAINY DAY FUND. IT'S PROJECTED THAT WE WILL BE DEPLETING THE RAINY DAY FUND, AND THIS YEAR, TO THE TUNE OF 540 MILLION. NOW, I KNOW ALL OF THAT SOUNDS LIKE BAD DOOM AND GLOOM, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE ARE NO PROPOSED LOCAL CUTS IN THIS BUDGET FOR EDUCATION. OKAY, FURTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER. SO NUMBER ONE COST OF LIVING OR COLA. SO THIS TIME LAST YEAR COLA FOR 2526 WAS PROJECTED AT 3.29%. AS OF RIGHT NOW COLA IS BEING PROJECTED AND IN OUR MODELS COLA IS BEING PROJECTED AT 2.3%. SO COLA HAS COME DOWN ONE WHOLE PERCENTAGE POINT. SO OBVIOUSLY WE'VE HAD TO ADJUST FOR THAT IN OUR BUDGET AND IN OUR IN OUR MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS. WITH ALL OF THIS, EVEN WITH ALL OF THIS, THE GOVERNOR IS STILL MAKING SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN EDUCATION. HE IS INCREASING THE INVESTMENT FOR THE EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM, AND HE'S ALSO INCREASING THE INVESTMENT FOR THE UNIVERSAL TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM. LASTLY, THERE IS THERE IS A ONE TIME BLOCK GRANT THAT'S BEING PROPOSED IN THE MAY REVISION. AND WE'LL WE'LL JUST SEE IF THAT SURVIVES THE BUDGET NEGOTIATIONS. IF IT SURVIVES IT, THEN THEN LOCALLY, WE COULD RECEIVE ABOUT $2.5 MILLION. IF THAT MOVES FORWARD. AND THEN LASTLY, OF COURSE, WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE OVERALL OVERALL MARKET, OVERALL ECONOMY 2025 HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, VERY INTERESTING WITH STOCK MARKET AND WITH THE ECONOMY, WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF EBBS AND FLOWS, UPS AND DOWNS, AND WE JUST EXPECT A LOT, A LOT MORE OF THE SAME TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THROUGHOUT THIS CALENDAR AND FISCAL YEAR. SO FEDERAL EDUCATION BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS. SO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S PROPOSED 2026 BUDGET PROPOSES TO CUT $163 BILLION OF NON-DEFENSE SPENDING. AND PART OF THAT ALSO INCLUDES EDUCATION FUNDING. BUT WE ARE VERY PLEASED THAT THE PROPOSAL DOES MAINTAIN FUNDING LEVELS FOR TITLE ONE AND SPECIAL EDUCATION,
[00:50:03]
AND THAT IS WHAT IMPACTS US THE MOST. BETWEEN THOSE TWO, WE RECEIVE ABOUT $15 MILLION A YEAR FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR THOSE TWO PROGRAMS, FOR THE TITLE PROGRAMS AND SPECIAL EDUCATION ALONE. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. HE ALSO IS PROPOSING TO DO SOME SIMPLIFICATION, DO SOME BLOCK GRANTS. HE'S WANTING TO ELIMINATE FUNDING FOR ADULT EDUCATION. AND THEN THIS LAST ONE HERE, THERE'S A PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE TITLE THREE AND MIGRATE EDUCATION FUNDING. TITLE THREE FUNDING WILL HAVE A SMALL IMPACT ON US. AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT. SO TITLE THREE FUNDING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS ABOUT 1.1% OF OUR LOCAL CONTROL CONTROLLING FUNDING FORMULA. SO FOR EXAMPLE TITLE THREE IS 153 MILLION. OUR SUPPLEMENTAL AND CONCENTRATION GRANTS IN CALIFORNIA IS 14.2 BILLION. SO YES, IT'S A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF FUNDING AND IT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT FOR US. THE IMPACT IF THAT FUNDING IS CUT, IS ABOUT $180,000. AND THEN WE WOULD JUST REPRIORITIZE SOME OF OUR RESTRICTED DOLLARS FOR THOSE PRIORITIES. SO FOR THE FEDERAL EDUCATION BUDGET, MOST MUCH LIKE THE STATE BUDGET, THEY WORK THROUGH THIS CYCLE. SO THEY START IN FEBRUARY. THERE'S A SERIES OF NEGOTIATIONS AND MEETINGS, ETC, THROUGH JULY. AND THEN IF ALL GOES WELL, THE BUDGET IS ADOPTED OCTOBER 1ST.OKAY. SO FOR OUR LOCAL BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS, OUR BUDGET IS DRIVEN BY PRIMARILY BY THESE FOR OUR UNRESTRICTED GENERAL FUND BUDGET. EXCUSE ME. GENERAL FUND BUDGET IS DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY THESE FOUR AREAS, WHICH IS AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE. ENROLLMENT, UNDUPLICATED PUPIL PERCENTAGE, AND ECONOMIC RESERVE. SO WE ARE PROJECTING AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE OF 10,790. THAT IS, THAT IS PROJECTED AT 93% OF ENROLLMENT ENROLLMENT. WE'RE PROJECTING AT 11,559. AND WE'LL SEE THAT IN IN THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'LL SEE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY HOLDING OUR ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS FLAT FROM FOR THIS YEAR AND THE SUBSEQUENT TWO YEARS. UNDUPLICATED PUPIL PERCENTAGE HAS RISEN ACTUALLY TO 86.23%. SO THAT ACTUALLY HELPS US BECAUSE THEN WE GET ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR OUR SUPPLEMENTAL AND CONCENTRATION GRANT. AND THEN THE ECONOMIC RESERVE IS 7.6 MILLION. SO THE ECONOMIC RESERVE IS JUST A STATE MANDATE. THEY SAY OF YOUR BUDGET YOU MUST RESERVE 3% IN CASE OF ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. SO THAT'S JUST TO MAKE SURE IF EVERYTHING FAILS, WE HAVE AT LEAST THAT 7.6 MILLION, WE CAN GET THROUGH A COUPLE OF CYCLES OF PAYROLL UNTIL, YOU KNOW, ETC, UNTIL WE GET THINGS FIGURED OUT. SO A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ENROLLMENT IN ADA. SO THIS IS THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF ENROLLMENT AND ADA FOR OUR DISTRICT. AND AS YOU CAN SEE OVER THE OF THE PRIOR FEW YEARS, OUR ENROLLMENT DID GROW ONE ONE 1.5%, 1.87%. BUT THIS YEAR WE DID SEE A SLIGHT REDUCTION WHERE WE'RE ESSENTIALLY FLAT WITH ENROLLMENT. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, WE ARE TAKING A MORE CONSERVATIVE APPROACH IN PROJECTING ENROLLMENT TO REMAIN FLAT FOR THIS BUDGET YEAR AND THE SUBSEQUENT TWO YEARS. THE GOOD NEWS, THOUGH, HOWEVER, IS THAT WE HAVE SEEN ADA IMPROVE OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO SEE THAT TREND. SO THIS YEAR, ADA IS UP TO 10,790, WHICH IS UP 1.56% OVER LAST YEAR. AND IT'S RIGHT AT 93%. NOT QUITE. THIS YEAR WAS LIKE 92.81%. SO FOR THIS, FOR THE BUDGET YEAR AND THE SUBSEQUENT TWO YEARS, WE ARE PROJECTING ADA AT 93%. SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN? YOU KNOW, FOR US DOLLARS WISE? SO AS AS REBECCA MENTIONED IN HER PRESENTATION, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SEVERAL LEVELS OF FUNDING THAT WE GET PER STUDENT. AND SO WITH EVERYTHING INCLUDED FOR 2526, OUR PER ADA FUNDING IS $16,859. PROJECTED ADA AGAIN IS 10,790.2. AND SO THAT MEANS WE'RE PROJECTING TOTAL LCFF REVENUE O. $184,878,790. OKAY, YOU CAN'T READ THAT. I KNOW, AND I'M SO SORRY, BUT THIS, YOU GUYS HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU. BUT THIS IS OUR FUNDING FORM. OH ONE. AND WHAT I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT HERE WHAT THIS FORM DOES. IT COMPARES THE CURRENT YEAR ESTIMATED ACTUALS TO WHAT WE'RE PROJECTING IN THE NEXT YEAR. AND I HAVE JUST A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTED POINTS THAT I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT TO YOU GUYS. THE FIRST ONE, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE FAR RIGHT CORNER, OUR FEDERAL REVENUE WILL BE WE'RE PROJECTING THAT TO BE REDUCED BY 42.3%, BUT NOT TO BE
[00:55:05]
WORRIED, NOT TO BE CONCERNED THAT THAT IS A REDUCTION THAT WE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT AND HAVE PLANNED FOR, BECAUSE THAT'S THE EXPIRATION OF THOSE ONE TIME COVID DOLLARS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS NOW. AND SO WE KNOW THAT IN SEPTEMBER, ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, THE 2024, THE BULK OF THAT, THOSE FUNDINGS, WHICH WERE ESSER THREE FUNDINGS, AND FOR US IT MEANT OVER $53 MILLION. THOSE FUNDS EXPIRED. AND WE BY THE WAY, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN SPENDING DOWN THAT SPENDING DOWN THOSE FUNDS BY THAT DEADLINE. THE NEXT THING THAT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT IS IN THE CAPITAL OUTLAY. YOU'LL SEE IN THE FAR RIGHT CORNER THERE'S A -59.2% OF REDUCTION. AND AGAIN, NOT TO BE CONCERNED THAT AGAIN, THAT'S THE THAT'S THE EXPIRATION OF THE COVID DOLLARS. SO WE USED ONE TIME COVID DOLLARS TO DO MANY GREAT PROJECTS AROUND THE DISTRICT. WE DID OUR OUR HVAC REPLACEMENT. WE INSTALLED OUR DATA ROOM. WE DID MASSIVE, YOU KNOW, TECHNOLOGY REPLACEMENTS, YOU KNOW, WITH THOSE COVID DOLLARS. AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE THOSE DOLLARS AND USE THEM AND TO INVEST IN, YOU KNOW, OUR FUTURE, OUR FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE. SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT. BUT AS A RESULT OF THAT, YES, WE WILL SEE THOSE EXPENSES IN THE GENERAL FUND TRENDING DOWN. NOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT DOESN'T MEAN OUR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES OVERALL WILL BE TRENDING DOWN BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE JUST WENT OUT FOR A GRANT AND WE WILL ACTUALLY BE WRAPPING UP SOME LARGE PROJECTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ON THE ON GOING ACROSS THE BOTTOM THERE, WHAT I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED, AND WHAT I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, IS THAT IN 24, 25 CURRENT YEAR AND THAT TOTAL COLUMN THERE, WE'RE EXPECTING TO DEFICIT SPEND AT A TUNE OF $15 MILLION. AND THEN IN THE NEXT YEAR COMING UP, WE'RE EXPECTED TO DEFICIT SPEND TO THE TUNE OF $13 MILLION. AGAIN, THIS IS PLANNED DEFICIT SPENDING. WE'VE HAD THIS PLAN SINCE WE KNEW OF THE EXPIRATION OF THESE ONE TIME DOLLARS. AND SO WHAT WE'LL SEE IN 25, 26 AND 2627, WE'LL SEE. WE'LL STILL SEE THOSE SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS. WE'LL SEE SIGNIFICANT DEFICIT SPENDING AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN OUR RESERVE BALANCES. HOWEVER, 27, 28 AND BEYOND, WE WILL SEE THAT. WE WILL SEE THAT STABILIZE AND WILL REALLY, HONESTLY WOULD BE WORKING WITH REALLY WHAT OUR BASE FUNDING IS, EXCLUDING ALL OF THE ONE TIME STUFF. THIS IS JUST A NORMAL ONE AGAIN. AND THEN HERE IT BRINGS YOU TO OUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTION. AND AGAIN I KNOW IT'S TINY I APOLOGIZE, BUT WHAT I WANT TO POINT OUT FOR 2526. SO WE'RE PROJECTING TOTAL REVENUE OF ABOUT 240 MILLION. TOTAL EXPENDITURES OF 250 MILLION. ENDING BALANCE. SO OUR UNDESIGNATED ENDING BALANCE WILL BE ABOUT $48 MILLION, OR 21.93%.SO FOR 2526, WE STILL HAVE VERY STRONG RESERVE BALANCES AND PERCENTAGES. AND THEN, AS I SAID, YOU'LL SEE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS WE'LL CONTINUE TO SPEND THAT DOWN. SO 2627 WE'RE PROJECTING OUR RESERVE BALANCES AT RIGHT ABOUT 30 MILLION OR 14.52%. AND THEN IN OUR THIRD YEAR OUT, OUR RESERVE BALANCES WILL BE ABOUT 6.2 MILLION OR 5.34%. OKAY. OH, THAT'S A LITTLE BIGGER FOR YOU. SORRY. SORRY ABOUT THAT. OKAY. SO WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEPS HERE. SO OUR THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS IS THAT WE ADOPT OUR BUDGET. AND SO FOR BUDGET ADOPTION THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT. I'M SORRY THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT CERTIFICATIONS THAT THAT WE CAN ADOPT AT POSITIVE CERTIFICATION. MEANING THAT THE DISTRICT WILL MEET FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS IN THE CURRENT AND TWO SUBSEQUENT FISCAL YEARS. QUALIFIED CERTIFICATION, WHICH MEANS DISTRICT MAY NOT MEET FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS IN CURRENT AND TWO SUBSEQUENT FISCAL YEARS OR NEGATIVE, MEANING THE DISTRICT WILL NOT MEET FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND CURRENT AND ONE SUBSEQUENT FISCAL YEAR. SO WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO PRESENT TO YOU AND SAY THAT ON THURSDAY WHEN WE COME BACK, WE ARE WE WILL BE ASKING THE BOARD TO POSITIVELY CERTIFY OUR BUDGET, MEANING THAT THE DISTRICT WILL MEET ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS IN THE CURRENT AND TWO SUBSEQUENT YEARS. SO NEXT STEPS. SO APPROVAL ON ON JUNE 26TH, APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET. WE'LL ADOPT THE 2526 BUDGET. WE'RE PREPARING TO CLOSE THE BOOKS FOR 2425. AND THEN WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING IT ALL AGAIN. AND SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR FIRST INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT FOR
[01:00:03]
2526. IN DECEMBER 2025. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF ANYONE NEEDS ANY MORE INFORMATION BETWEEN NOW AND BUDGET ADOPTION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. YOU CAN EMAIL ME, CALL ME, STOP BY. YES. DOES THIS BUDGET INCLUDE THE EQUITY MULTIPLIER OR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS MONIES? YES.SO THE EQUITY MULTIPLIER, COMMUNITY SCHOOLS MONEY ARE PART OF OUR RESTRICTED GENERAL FUND AND THOSE DOLLARS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE BOND MONEY. IT DOES NOT.
SO BOND MONEY WILL COME INTO A TOTALLY SEPARATE FUND. IT'LL COME INTO WHAT'S IT'S CALLED OUR BUILDING FUND, FUND 21. AND CURRENTLY WE HAVE NO DOLLARS IN THAT FUND. BUT HOWEVER HOWEVER, WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE DID CLOSE ON OUR FIRST ISSUANCE AND THE COUNTY TREASURER DID RECEIVE $60 MILLION TODAY FOR FROM BOTH MEASURES, A AND X, $60 MILLION TOTAL FROM THOSE MEASURES. SO WHEN WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU THE UNAUDITED ACTUALS, WHEN WE PRESENT IN IN IN SEPTEMBER AS WE CLOSE THESE BOOKS, IF THOSE FUNDS COME IN AND HIT OUR BOOKS BY MONDAY, THEN YOU GUYS WILL SEE THAT REFLECTED IN OUR UNAUDITED ACTUALS. THANK YOU. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO INVEST IN BITCOIN. NO OKAY. CHANTÉ DO YOU HAVE AN EXTRA COPY BY ANY CHANCE THAT I COULD OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. WELL STAFF REPORTS BUSINESS SERVICES. HAVE YOU SAID

BUT WE WELCOME JOSH AND WE KNOW YOU'LL DO A FANTASTIC JOB. AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT ABOUT YOU BEING HERE. SO DAVE, ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT. AND AS JOSIE SAID IT'S NOT BAD AT ALL. SO YOU KNOW WE ENJOY IT. WE KNOW YOU WILL. AND JOSH WELCOME ABOARD AND TO JAKE JAKE AND PRISCILLA HE'S THEY'RE WELCOME. AND I UNDERSTAND MIKE WAS TALKING ABOUT STEALING PEOPLE. WE UNDERSTAND WE STOLE YOU FROM THE NEIGHBORING DISTRICT. IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. YEAH. WELL, WE DIDN'T HAVE TO MENTION THE NAME APPLEWHITE. OKAY, SINCE YOU MENTIONED IT ALL YOU WANT. OKAY, SO. SO WELCOME. WE'RE. YEAH, WE'RE WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE. AND THERE'S A REASON FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW. AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE NOT GETTING THE DISTRICT, NOT GETTING RESPECT BECAUSE OF THE HARD WORK THAT SHANTI AND THE AND ALL THE DISTRICT DOES. AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF HIM. AND SHE MENTIONED DEFICIT SPENDING FOR SOME PEOPLE THEY PANIC ON THAT. BUT BECAUSE WE HAD THE EQUITY MULTIPLIER AND ALL THAT AND ALL THIS EXTRA FUNDS THAT WERE DUMPED ON US, WHICH WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR, I SHOULD I SHOULDN'T USE THE WORD DUMP, BUT THAT WE'RE GIVEN YOU HAVE TO DEFICIT SPEND. WE'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE THAT IN THE FUTURE AS MUCH. BUT BUT WE NEED TO. SO IT'S NOT A PANIC MOMENT. WE'RE SAYING, OH MY GOSH, WE'RE SPENDING MORE MONEY. WE'RE TAKING IN. YES, WE HAVE TO FOR A FEW YEARS. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. AND THEN THE SHIP WILL EVEN OUT WILL BE OKAY AND WE'LL BE FINE. THE, THE ONE THING THAT IMPRESSES ME MOST AFTER YEARS AND YEARS OF GOING OVER BUDGET AND EVERYTHING IS, IS. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS, HER ESTIMATED ACTUALS ARE ALWAYS VERY, VERY CLOSE. I CAN SAY TO YOUR UNAUDITED ACTUALS, WHICH ARE ALWAYS VERY, VERY CLOSE TO YOUR ACTUALS. AND IN MOST DISTRICTS THAT'S NOT TRUE. AND SO THERE'S THIS FLUCTUATION THAT GOES ALL OVER THE PLACE IN THIS DISTRICT.WE KNOW AS A SCHOOL BOARD RIGHT NOW THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO THESE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO STAND. I MEAN, THIS KIND OF SOUNDS, THEY MAY CHANGE A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH MULTI, YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND IS NOTHING FROM MY PERSONAL ACCOUNT. THAT'D BE A WHOLE LOT. BUT BUT FOR DISTRICT IT'S REALLY NOT THAT MUCH. AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO THERE AND FOR THE WHOLE DISTRICT AND FOR EVERYBODY WHO WORKS TOGETHER TO DO THAT. AND THEN I WILL SAY THAT, YES, OUR DISTRICT, WE ARE THE HIGHEST PAID NOW, AND WE'RE PROUD OF THAT. AND WE HAVE FANTASTIC BENEFITS AND OTHER DISTRICTS YOU HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR YOUR BENEFITS AND WE DON'T HAVE TO. SO WE ARE PROUD OF THAT. AND AGAIN, IT'S BECAUSE OF THE HARD WORK OF THESE PEOPLE UP HERE, OUR SUPERINTENDENT AND HIS GREAT TEAM AND ALL WE AND WE DO APPRECIATE THAT TREMENDOUSLY. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT. AND THEN I, I WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY BREAK. ENJOY THE MONTH OF JULY.
AND WE'LL HIT IT AGAIN IN AUGUST AND WE'LL START ALL OVER AGAIN. BUT THANK YOU ALL. AND CSEA'S NOT HERE. BUT WE WANT TO THANK ALL THE HARD WORKERS. THERE'S JUST SO MUCH FOR OUR BEAUTIFICATION OF OUR CAMPUS AND TRANSPORTATION OF OUR KIDS AND EVERYTHING. THANK YOU. AND MIKE, BE SURE TO TELL ALL THE TEACHERS HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEM. THE FACT THAT FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW, OUR SCORES ARE GOING UP AND WE'RE EXCITEDLY. THEY'RE NOT OFFICIAL ON THAT, BUT WE'LL FIND OUT A COUPLE MORE WEEKS. BUT WE'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT. THANK THEM FOR THE HARD WORK, EVERYONE. THANK YOU. OKAY. OH, NO. YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY. OKAY, SO WE GOT MR. LARSON AND THEY GO, I'LL DO A QUICK INVENTORY HERE. FIRST, I'D LIKE TO REALLY CONGRATULATE MICHAEL.

THE RESPECT WILL BE THERE FOR YOU GUYS, FROM THE KIDS, FROM THE STAFF, AND WHERE IT'S MISSING RIGHT NOW. IT'LL DEVELOP, AND WHERE IT'S MISSING IS THE KIDS DON'T HAVE IT FOR ANYBODY AT THE MOMENT, BUT THEY'LL LEARN TO RESPECT YOU, LOVE YOU, CARE FOR YOU, AND YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE TO THESE KIDS.

AND REALLY, WE'VE GOT TO GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT UP ABOVE, BUT THE GREATER AMOUNT OF CREDIT GOES TO WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD WITH THE KIDS, BECAUSE YOU'RE PULLING THEM UP BY THEIR BOOTSTRAPS AND HELPING THEM. AND THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE CHANGE OCCURS. AND I APPRECIATE IT. AND I THINK THE BOARD APPRECIATES IT. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS EDMONDSON. WELL, MIKE MAYO AND JARED, IF YOU COULD EXTEND A THANKS TO OUR TEACHERS FOR WORKING HARD IN THE SUMMER FOR SUMMER SCHOOL, I'D APPRECIATE THAT.

TAG TEAMING TO SERVE AS INTERIM PRINCIPALS OF VICTOR VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE LATTER PART OF OUR SCHOOL YEAR. THIS WAS IN ADDITION TO KEEPING UP WITH THE REGULAR DUTIES.

I WANT TO THANK ERIC ROHRBACH, OUR SUMMER SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AT HOOK JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR PERSONNEL WHO GAVE UP PART OF THEIR SUMMER TO HELP OUR STUDENTS GET THROUGH SUMMER SCHOOL.

ANGIE AND KATHY WORKING OUR SUMMER SCHOOL THAT NOT ONLY TOOK CARE OF OUR LUNCHES FOR OUR STUDENTS, BUT THEY ALSO PASSED OUT FREE SUMMER MEALS TO CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITY EACH DAY FROM NOON UNTIL 1230.

I KNOW I WAS AT A COUNTY MEETING OVER THE EARLIER IN THE[17. SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS]
WEEK LAST WEEK, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT I WAS TALKING TO ANOTHER SUPERINTENDENT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S A GAME CHANGER AND WHAT'S THAT LOOK LIKE? AND I JUST STARTED JOTTING DOWN SOME NOTES, YOU KNOW, FOR US, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS YEAR'S KIND OF MARKED FOR US IN THAT MINDSET OF, YOU KNOW, CHANGING THE TRAJECTORY FOR OUR STUDENTS.YOU KNOW, WE HAD TWO STUDENTS WIN A CAR THIS YEAR. YOU KNOW, MICHAEL WINNING $40,000. IF OVER 50% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE A THROUGH G ELIGIBLE TO GO TO A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY IF THEY CHOOSE TO GO. OUR TEST SCORES HAVE GONE UP NOW FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW. WE'RE FISCALLY SOLVENT. OUR HIRING PRACTICES ARE PHENOMENAL. WE'RE FULLY STAFFED, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE EVEN LEAVE FOR THE SUMMER. YOU KNOW, IN MOST CASES, WE'RE ABSOLUTELY HIRING THE BEST OF THE BEST. AND OUR RELATIONSHIPS CONTINUE TO JUST GET STRONGER AND STRONGER. AND, YOU KNOW, IN IN AS MUCH AS YOU YOU SEE THIS KIND OF PLAYING OUT IN OUR DISTRICT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO HUMBLY BE SO GRATEFUL FOR AND NEVER TAKE, TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. YOU KNOW, AS YOU WATCH WHAT'S PLAYING OUT AMONGST OTHER DISTRICTS RIGHT NOW AND THE CHAOS AND THE ARGUING OVER THINGS THAT JUST DON'T MATTER, YOU KNOW, AND THE THINGS THAT WHEN YOU STOP AND LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE NEARLY 12,000 STUDENTS AND THEY COUNT ON US EVERY DAY. AND WHAT A BLESSING THAT IS FOR ALL OF US. AND I REALLY FEEL AS A DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING ON ALL CYLINDERS AND WE REALLY, TRULY ARE, YOU KNOW, CHANGING THE TRAJECTORY FOR OUR STUDENTS. AND, DAVE, YOU'RE A GAME CHANGER. YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT IN INTO THIS DISTRICT. THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME IN MY APPLE COMPUTER, BY THE WAY. THAT STAYS. JOSH MAKES NO SENSE. WHY? UP MEANS DOWN AND DOWN MEANS UP ON THE MOUSE. BUT DAVE, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THE STUDENTS AND THE ABILITY TO REALLY CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY FOR SO MANY STUDENTS LIVES. AND IT TRULY IS A LEGACY. SO, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU FOR, YOU KNOW, YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE. AND I THINK I'LL KIND OF JUST END ON THAT.
BUT I JUST THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE JUST KIND OF REALLY START TO CLOSE OUT FOR THIS YEAR AND, AND GET A LITTLE DOWNTIME IS IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REALLY REFLECT ON, ON THE TRAJECTORY OF SO MANY KIDS AND WHAT IT WILL MEAN FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR FUTURE KIDS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. AND SO I HOPE THAT EVERYBODY HAS JUST A GREAT SENSE OF PRIDE FOR THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING AND THE WORK THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO DO, AND WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT WE'LL KEEP HITTING SINGLES AND WE'LL JUST WE'LL STAY ON THE COURSE THAT WE'RE ON. SO THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY NEED TO RETURN TO CLOSED SESSION? NO. OKAY. MOTION TO ADJOURN. SECOND OKAY. DISCUSSION I VOTE I, I T
