[6. PUBLIC COMMENTS – AGENDA ITEMS]
ADDRESSING AGENDA ITEMS. CAN I PLEASE HAVE STEVE BOYD TO THE PODIUM? THANK YOU.>> THANK YOU. HELLO, GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS STEVE BOYD. I'M A 23-YEAR BELLFLOWER SCHOOL DISTRICT MEMBER. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN THE DISTRICT AND MY OLDEST DAUGHTER HAS GRADUATED AND GONE ON TO COLLEGE AT UCSD B -- UCSB VERY WELL PREPARED.
MY WIFE WENT TO MAYFAIR AND HER FATHER WENT TO MAYFAIR, THE SECOND CLASS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND NOW MY SON IS PLAYING BASEBALL AT MAYFAIR. HE IS JUST FINISHING HIS JUNIOR YEAR. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH MAYFAIR BOOSTERS ALL THE TIME THERE AND I AM CURRENTLY THE BOOSTER PRESIDENT. THIS PAST YEAR THE BOOSTER CLUB RAISED $28,000 FOR THE PROGRAM THROUGH OUR INDIVIDUAL FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. IT MAY SOUND LIKE A SUBSTANTIAL SUM, AND IT FELT LIKE IT WHILE WE WERE OUT THERE PRESSING THE FLESH AND ASKING FOR THE CASH, BUT YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO FIELD THREE TEAMS. I PERSONALLY WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED AT HOW LITTLE THE DISTRICT WAS ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE. WE THANK YOU FOR HANDLING THE FIELD. CUTTING THE GRASS IS A REALLY BIG JOB. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE JUST CUTTING THE GRASS, BUT IT IS A HUGE UNDERTAKING.
OBVIOUSLY YOU CONTRIBUTE THE UMPIRE FEES AND THE AWAY TRANSPORTATION AND STYE -- STIPENDS FOR OUR COACHING STAFF.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS MAINTAINED AND PAID FOR BY THE BOOSTERS.
RUDY WHO IS HERE FROM THE TEAM WILL TELL ABOUT YOU WHAT WE SPENT THAT $20,000 ON THIS YEAR TO GET BACK ON ITS FEET AND TRY TO GET THE PROGRAM BACK ON ITS FEET THE -- FEET.
THE PROGRAM DOES AMAZING THINGS FOR THE SCHOOL, THESE YOUNG MEN IN PARTICULAR, AND FOR THE COMMUNITY THEY PROVIDE STRUCTURE AND A SAFE PLACE FOR THEM TO GO AFTER SCHOOL.
IT FUELS THEIR COMPETITIVE DRIVE AND INSTILLS CONFIDENCE AND LIFE-LONG COMRADERY AND DISCIPLINE.
ALL OF THESE TRAITS HAVE VALUE TO THE BASEBALL FIELD AND ON THE BASEBALL FIELD. THEY DO IN THE COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO STAY AROUND THE AREA. IT IS ALSO LIKELY THAT THIS IS THE LAST TIME THEY WILL BE ON AN ATHLETIC TEAM WITH THEIR PEERS SINCE MOST OF THEIR PLAYING CAREER WILL END.
WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THE PROGRAM TO GET IT -- TO CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT AND MOVING FORWARD IN THE LONG RUN, OBVIOUSLY THAT REQUIRES MONEY. AND IN 2012 AS YOU ALL KNOW INTIMATELY, MEASURE BB WAS PASSED IN THE AMOUNT OF $79 MILLION. 9.25 MILLION OF THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO THE ATHLETIC FIELD IMPROVEMENTS AT MAYFAIR HIGH.
HERE WE ARE 10 YEARS LATER AND 8.6% OF THAT ALLOCATION, JUST THE AMOUNT THAT WAS EARMARKED -- IS THAT THREE MINUTES? ALL RIGHT. I CAN HAND OFF MY SCRIPT.
WE HAVE OTHERS. >> WELL, I DO THANK YOU, MR. BOYD. WILMA REUS SAW PEREZ -- WILL MARISSA PEREZ APPROACH THE PODIUM?
MY NAME IS MARISSA PEREZ AND A MEMBER OF THE MAYFAIR BOOSTERS.
I ALSO HAVE THREE CHILDREN WHO ATTEND MAYFAIR HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS PAST YEAR AS MR. BOYD MENTIONED WE RAISED $28,000 FOR THIS PROGRAM. WHILE IT MAY SEEM A LOT, IT REALLY TOOK A LOT OF WORK, HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF VOLUNTEER HOURS TO GET THAT MONEY. AS MR. BOYD MENTIONED, THE ONLY ITEMS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PAYS FOR ARE COACHES STIPEDS AND CUTTING THE -- STIPENDS AND CUTTING THE GRASS.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS MAINTAINED AND PAID FOR BY THE BOOSTERS.
THIS IS WHY I AM HERE TO HELP YOU INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR ATHLETICS. WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY FOR OUR PLAYERS AND VISITORS. AS STEVE MENTIONED IN 2012, MEASURE BB WAS PASSED IN THE AMOUNT OF $79 MILLION AND 9.25 MILLION WAS ALLOCATED TO THE ATHLETIC FIELD IMPROVEMENTS AT MAYFAIR. 10 YEARS LATER ONLY 8.6% OF THE ALLOCATION HAS BEEN USED IN. CONTRAST, BELLFLOWER HIGH
[00:10:04]
WAS APPOINTED 4.3 MILLION AND ALLOCATED 130% OF THE ALLOCATION OR 5.6 MILLION AND 800,000 AT MAYAI -- MAFAIR.WE REQUEST MONEY FOR LONG-LASTING IMPROVEMENTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, A PLACE TO CHANGE IN THEIR UNIFORM AND A SAFE PLACE TO STORE THEIR EXPENSIVE GEAR THAT PARENTS BUY FOR THEM.
THEY CURRENTLY CHANGE IN THE DUGOUT AND THROW THEIR GEAR BAG EVERY MORNING BEFORE SCHOOL OVER THE FENCE.
THEY GO INTO THEIR CLASSES AND HOPE NO ONE STEALS IT WHILE THEY ARE LEARNING. ADDITIONAL STIPEDS TO HIRE MORE COACHES AND AND KEEP THE ONES WE HAVE.
WE ARE SHORTHANDED AND ALL THREE TEAMS PRACTICE ON ONE FIELD WITH ONE OR TWO COACHES. WHEN ONE TEAM IS PLAYING AT HOME, THE OTHERS CAN'T PRACTICE AT ALL.
A STAND ALONE SNACK BAR TO BE SHARED WITH THE GIRLS'S SOFTBALL TEAM AND IRRIGATION IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FIELD TO KEEP IT WELL KEPT AFTER WE SPEND $3,500 TO GET IT READY FOR THE SEASON.
AND LASTLY, BULLPEN IMPROVEMENTS.
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO PRESIDENT RENITA ARMSTRONG ASKED ME WHAT ARE ONE-TIME EXPENDITURES YOU COULD SUPPORT FOR MAYFAIR.
HERE ARE EXAMPLES OF ONE-TIME EXAMPLES YOU CAN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MS. PEREZ.
I HAVE RUDY PEREZ. COULD YOU PLEASE APPROACH THE
MY NAME IS RUDY PEREZ. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TO YOU. I WILL BE IN 11TH GRADE NEXT YEAR. I AM A PITCHER WITH THE MAYFAIR BASEBALL TEAM. I AM HERE TO ASK THE SCHOOL BOARD TO INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR ATHLETICS.
MAYFAIR BOOSTER CLUB RAISED 28,000.
WE SOLD SUPER BOWL SQUARES, POPCORN, ANGELS TICKET VOUCHERS AND HOSTING RESTAURANT NIGHTS. THE BOOSTERS USE THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE UNIFORMS, HELMETS, WIND SCREENS FOR THE OUTFIELD AND LEVEL AND REPAIR THE FIELD AND FIX DAMAGED EQUIPMENT AND REPAIR THE SCOREBOARD AND REPAIR THE PITCHING MACHINES AND BATTING CAGES. THE ONLY ITEMS BELLFLOWER UNIFIED PAYS FOR IS COACHES STIPENDS AND THE GRASS ON THE FIELD. EVERYTHING ELSE IS MAINTAINED BY THE BOOSTERS. THIS IS WHY YOU ASK THE SCHOOL BUDGET FOR ATHLETICS. WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY ON THE FIELD. THIS INCLUDES FIELD LEVELING AND PURCHASE OF SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT LIKE THE NEW HELMET, NETTING AND PORTABLE BARRIERS AND WE NEED A SECURE STORAGE AREA.
RIGHT NOW WE THROW OUR BAGS IN THE DUGOUT AND HOPE NO ONE STEALS OUR BATS AND GEARS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF OUR REQUEST. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, RUDY PEREZ.
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A COPY -- DO YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR REPORTS WRITTEN ON PAPER? I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A COPY. SO THAT WE CAN HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION. I CAN SEE THAT THE PROGRAM IS REALLY IMPORTANT SO I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU COMING FORTH AND BRINGING IT TO EVERYONE'S ATTENTION.
THANK YOU. >> MS. ARMSTRONG, THEY WILL GIVE THEM TO STAFF AND WE CAN MAKE COPIES AND GIVE THEM BACK THIS
EVENING. >> PLEASE DO THAT SO WE CAN MAKE COPIES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER REQUESTS? OKAY.
[7. PUBLIC HEARING 2022-2023 LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAP) AND 2022-2023 LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) – PROPOSED BUDGET 2022-2023]
WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING.I WILL START BY DECLARING THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN.
IT IS THE 2022-2023 LEARNING CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN.
AND THE 2022-2023 CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA.
THAT'S THE LCFF, PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2022-2023.
AT THIS TIME WE HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION.
>> YES, THANK YOU. >> I'M SORRY.
DO I HAVE A MOTION -- NO, NO TH. LET'S HEAR THIS.
>> WHAT I WOULD LIKE DO IS RECAP A LITTLE OF THE LCAP.
AND IF YOU REMEMBER AT A PREVIOUS REGULAR DR. REYES DESCRIBED WHERE WE WERE IN THE PROCESS AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS. I WANT TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION TONIGHT ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE INCORPORATED INTO THE PLAN.
SO IF YOU DO REMEMBER, THE LCAP IS A THREE-YEAR PLAN AND WE ARE IN YEAR TWO. WE DETERMINED THREE GOALS PREVIOUSLY BASED ON OUR CORE VALUES OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
[00:15:03]
WHICH IS GOAL TWO -- SORRY. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WAS ON.AND GOAL TWO WHICH IS COMMUNITY, WHICH IS ACTUALLY GOAL THREE.
AND EQUITY WHICH IS GOAL ONE. WE DIDN'T REALIZE IT, BUT IT SPELLS ACE IF WE FLIP THEM. THAT'S AN EASY WAY TO REMEMBER OUR GOALS. AND WE HAVE MADE REVISIONS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE PREVIOUSLY-APPROVED ACTIONS.
THE REVISIONS ARE IN LINE WITH THE CHANGING NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS BASED ON THE DATA REVIEWED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
AND THEN ALSO TO ADD ON TO THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT WE HAVE CREATED IN YEAR ONE. JUST AS A BRIEF REMINDER, THIS LCAP IS THE RESULT OF A COLLABORATION BETWEEN OUR EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS AND ORIGINALLY WHO HAS GIVEN UPDATES AND INFORMATION. THE BOARD HAS ALWAYS SET THAT VISION WITH THE DISTRICT WITH THE GOALS AND PRIORITIES AND THEN WE TAKE THOSE INFORMATION DLAC WHICH IS OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND OUR ADVISORY GROUP.
THEY LOOK TO DETERMINE DATA AND PRIORITIES AND TO ANALYZE WHERE WE ARE WITHIN OUR LCAP AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE DISTRICT STAFF AND THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE GONNA SEE TONIGHT IS WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE BASED ON THE MEETINGS WE HAVE HAD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO WHICH AREAS DID THEY PRIORITIZE? THIS IS BASED ON THE ANNUAL REVISION CYCLE. THEY BASED IT ON DATA, NEEDS AND DESIRES AND ALSO PRIORITIES FOR STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SET BY THE STATE AND BY THE DISTRICT. THERE WAS A VARIETY OF INPUT TAKEN THROUGH THE SURVEYS. AN LCAP SURVEY AND MEETING DATA AND INPUT FROM THE MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
END GOAL 1, WHAT I HAVE DONE IS LISTED ALL OF THE PRIORITIES THAT WE RECEIVED. WHAT YOU WILL SEE IS BOLDED ITEMS WHICH ARE ACTUALLY ITEMS THAT WE HAVE INCREASED DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, LIMB -- LIMITING COMBO CLASSES. THEY WANT US TO WORK HARD TO LIMIT OUR COMBO CLASSES. IF YOU RECALL, I THINK CURRENTLY WE HAVE FOUR COMBOS DISTRICT WIDE AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE STUDENTS FROM THE HOME SCHOOLS.
AND SO WE KEPT THEM AT KEY GRADE LEVELS SO WE CAN KEEP THE KIDS WHERE THEY WERE INSTEAD OF DOING SHIFTING BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE HAD CLASSES WITH 9 KIDS. SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT, BUT WE ARE NOT ADDING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO THAT AT THIS TIME.
IMPROVING THE RESTROOMS. IF YOU REMEMBER WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FACILITIES MASTER PLAN WORKUP.
I AM CERTAIN RESTROOMS WILL BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT POP TO THE SURFACE, BUT AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT ALLOCATING MONEY IN THE AREA BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AT THIS POINT.
THEY WANTED EXTRA KAU STOWED YENS -- CUSTODIANS TO HELP MONSTER AND CLEAN. WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR PRINCIPALS TO WORK ON THOSE ROTATIONS SO THE BATHROOMS ARE GETTING CLEANED PERIODICALLY THROUGH THE DAY LIKE YOU WOULD IN A RESTAURANT. WE ARE MAKING SURE THEY ARE GOING IN AT RANDOM TIMES AND PRE SET TIMES AS WELL.
A KEY PART WHERE WE WILL SEE MORE SUPPORT IS INCREASING THE SUPPORT FOR OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDENTS.
A-G COMPLETION AND WE ARE ADDING SITE LIAISONS THAT CAN WORK WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE POPULATION AND ASSIST WITH THE DATA PIECE AND MAKING SURE THEY ARE FOCUSED ON A CONTINUAL BASIS AND UH SIS TENSE -- AND ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT TEACHERS AS WELL.
AND AN INCREASE IN RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.
WE KNOW OUR STUDENTS RETURNING BACK TO IN-PERSON HAVE A LOT OF NEEDS, BEHAVIORAL NEEDS AND SUPPORT AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND COPING MECHANISMS. THAT'S AN AREA YOU WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN THOSE ACTIONS. INCREASING SUPPORT AND SERVICES IN CWA. THAT WAS ALIGNED TOWARD OUR ATTENDANCE PIECE AND LOOKING AT OUR SUPPORT FOR OUR FOSTER AND HOMELESS YOUTH, WE DO HAVE THOSE SYSTEMS IN PLACE AND A HEARTY STAFF IN THOSE DEPARTMENTS SO IT IS LOOKING AT REFINING THE PRACTICES THAT THEY ARE DOING AS OPPOSED TO ADDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AT THIS TIME. INCREASING INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND TEACHER TRAINING ARMED AT TECHNOLOGY.
THIS IS BEING DONE THROUGH OTHER COVID FUNDS.
IT IS NOT PART OF THE LCSF. IT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED, BUT NOT PART OF THE LCAT. INCREASING QUALIFIED STAFF TO
[00:20:03]
SUPPORT STUDENTS. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE WORKING ON HOW TO SECURE SUBS WHEN THERE IS STILL A SHORTAGE OF PEOPLE WILLING TO DO THE SUBBING.AND YOU WILL SEE INFORMATION COMING TO YOU IN JULY OF SOME POSSIBLE OPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS FOR THAT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE IS HISTORICALLY IN THE PAST WE HAVE WAITED TO STAFF UNTIL WE GET A BETTER IDEA OF NUMBERS.
WE HAVE TAKEN A LITTLE BIT OF A RISK THIS YEAR AND WE ARE ALREADY STAFFING SOME OF THE POSITIONS THAT WE THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FOR NEXT YEAR AS OPPOSED TO WAITING UNTIL LATER IN THE SUMMER. WE HAVE MADE OFFERS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT STARTING REGULAR CLASSES WITH SUBSTITUTES.
IF WE END UP OVERSTAFFED WHICH I WILL TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR, WE WILL BE USING THEM AS SUPPORT STAFF FOR OUR EACHERS -- FOR OUR TEACHERS AND SITES TO DO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
THEY WON'T BE SITTING THERE DOING NOTHING, BUT THEY MAY BE A
PAID SUBSTITUTE. >> AND SO WE HAVE -- WE ARE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND WE ARE PROVIDING TEMPORARY COUNSELORS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED HIRING FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS. AND THEY ARE FUNDED OUT OF PART OF THE LCSF CONCENTRATION. ATTENDANCE IS GOING DOWN AND SOME OF THOSE DOLLARS ARE FLUCTUATING SO WE DID NOT COMMIT TO PERMANENT POSITIONS FOR THESE, BUT WE DID DO TEMPORARY TO HELP US GET THROUGH THIS HUMP WHERE WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN NEEDS FROM STUDENTS AND IF WE ARE DETERMINED BASED ON THE DATA , WE WILL LOOK AT HOW TO CONTINUE THOSE ON BEYOND THE TWO YEARS. AND I JUST NOTICED -- I NOTED ON THE BOTTOM THAT DECLINING ENROLD SHORTAGE OF STAFFING REQUIRES CAUTION IN TRAINING AS PRIORITY. WE ARE NOT MAKING REDUCTION IN ANY EFFORTS IN THE LCAP. WE ARE SIMPLY LOOKING AT REALLOCATING FUNDS AND HOW WE CAN USE THOSE TO DO BETTER.
GOAL TWO, THESE WERE THE PRIORITIES AND NONE OF THEM ARE BOLDED BECAUSE THEY ARE HAPPENING, BUT HAPPENING THROUGH ADDITIONAL FUNDING. WHAT? I'M SORRY. I'M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.
SO ADDITIONAL ADDITIONS, SO THESE ARE NEW.
WELLNESS CENTERS AT EACH SCHOOL SITE.
MENTAL HEALTH STAFF WILL BE AN INCREASE TO THE PARTNERSHIP YOU HEARD ABOUT FROM COMMUNITY FAMILY AND GUIDANCE.
WE ARE GOING TO USE HIGHLY-TRAINED MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS TO HELP US STAFF THE WELLNESS CENTERS ON EACH CAMPUS.
OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE ONE ON EACH CAMPUS AND TWO AT BELLFLOWER AND MAYFAIR. THERE WILL BE ONE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS AND ONE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
WE WILL STAFF ALL OF THE SCHOOLS FIRST BEFORE WE GIVE AN ADDITIONAL WELLNESS CENTER TO THE SECONDARY SITES.
WE ARE ALSO -- THIS IS WHERE WE ARE ADDING ADDITIONAL COUNSELOR TO THE SITE, THE TEMPORARY TWO-YEAR.
BEHAVIOR SUPPORT AT SITES. WE ARE LOOKING FOR BEHAVIOR AIDS. MANY KNOW WE HAVE HIGHLY-TRAINED BEHAVIOR AIDS THAT UNDERSTAND HOW TO DE ESCALATE BEHAVIORS AND SUPPORT TEACHERS WITH HANDLING STUDENT BEHAVIORS.
OUR GOAL IS TO ADD ONE OF THOSE PER SITE.
THAT WOULD ALSO SUPPORT WITH THE WELLNESS CENTER AND THE COUNSELING STAFF. SO WHEN YOU HAVE THAT STUDENT WHO MAYBE -- I'M GONNA GIVE AN EASY EXAMPLE, THE CANNEDDER GARDENER -- THE KINDERGARTENER WHO DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO CLASS.
HE WANTS TO RUN. WE WORK ON BEHAVIORS TO GET THEM IN CLASS. THAT WOULD BE WITH THOSE -- WHAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS WOULD DO. AND MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS WANTED ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT.
WHAT WE HAVE ADDED SO THAT WE CAN FUND IT THROUGH SUPPLEMENTAL CONCENTRATION IS AN INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT COORDINATOR. IT IS NOT AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, BUT THEY CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS THAT THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL DOES, BUT FOCUSES ON THE DUPLICATED STUDENTS.
THEY WILL HELP WITH THE ENGLISH LEARNER PIECE WITH LPAC TESTING.
THEY WILL SUPPORT THE FOSTER YOUTH ON CAMPUS.
THEY MAY ATTEND 504 PLANS FOR THOSE STUDENTS.
THEY WILL BE FOCUSED ON ASSISTING WITH PDIS.
THEY MAY BE THE PERSON HAMMING DISCIPLINE PIECES FOR THE STUDENTS THAT NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.
IT IS GOING TO ADD A LAYER OF SUPPORT TO THE PRINCIPAL AND TAKE OFF A LAYER OF THINGS THEY ARE NEEDING TO DO WHILE ADDING SUPPORT. WE ARE HOPING TO SEE -- IT IS GOING TO BE FLOWN, IF APPROVED BY YOU, AS EITHER A TEACHER WORKING UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE CREDENTIALS, SO A PATHWAY TO GROW THOSE WHO WANT TO BE ADMINISTRATEDDERS --
[00:25:01]
ADMINISTRATORS AND/OR CREDENTIAL PREFERRED.IT WILL BE THAT PSEUDO ADMINISTRATIVE POSITION.
IT IS NOT A TRUE AP OR PRINCIPAL.
ARE THEY GOING -- THEY WILL BE WORKING CLOSE WITH OUR COUNSELORS BECAUSE IT WILL BE A STUDENT-CENTERED APPROACH,
RIGHT? >> THEY ARE GOING TO BE WORKING CLOSE WITH COUNSELORS AND SCHOOL SPECIALISTS ON SITE AND
PRINCIPALS. >> WHAT I'D HOPE TO SEE IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE FLAGGING THE STUDENTS WHO WERE D'S AND F'S AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON BEFORE WE REACH THE STAGE OF EXPULSION FOR THESE STUDENTS BEFORE PROVIDING THE INTERVENTIONS, AND IN COLLABORATION WITH AN INSTRUCTION COORDINATOR AND THE COUNSELOR.
>> THAT IS THE HOPE AND THAT'S WHY WE ADDED ADDITIONAL COUNSELORS AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS TOO AS WELL.
IT I OUR ELEMENTARY. REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE ADDED FULL TIME COUNSELING SUPPORT, WE ARE ADDING IT AT EACH SITE.
STUDENTS DON'T GET EXPELLED FOR GRADES, BUT IT TENDS TO BE A CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS WHO ARE MAKING POOR CHOICES THAT
THEY HAVE POOR GRADES AS WELL. >> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT.
>> I KNOW YOU DID. >> IT IS A REFLECTION OF WHAT'S
SO OUR HOPE WOULD BE THIS PERSON WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE DATA PIECE AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE YEAR AS OPPOSED TO WAITING UNTIL THOSE CRITICAL TIMES OF GRADING AND REPORTING AND BEING ABLE TO BE THAT SUPPORT FOR THAT PRINCIPAL TO SAY, OKAY, COUNSELORS, HERE IS OUR LIST OF KIDS THAT WE NEED TO TARGET THIS TIME AND LOOK AT THE REPORTS AND SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO FOR THEM, WHETHER IT IS SUPPORT AND HOOKING THEM UP WITH OUR TUTORING AND WHETHER IT IS CONNECTING THEM WITH OUTSIDE COUNSELING SERVICES. I REMEMBER I HAD A STUDENT WHO STARTED DROPPING AND THEY BECAME HOMELESS.
WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO GET RESOURCES FOR THEM, THEY WERE ABLE TO FOCUS BACK ON THEIR GRADES.
HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE A GOOD ADDITION TO OUR TEAM TO SUPPORT
OUR STUDENTS. >> NOW I'M MOVING TO GOAL 2.
GOAL 2, EVERYTHING IS HIGHLIGHTED BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS GEARED TOWARD STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE BELIEVE IS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY, ESPECIALLY COMING BACK FROM COVID. NOBODY WANTS TO USE LEARNING LOSS, BUT WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO NEED TO ACCELERATE AND STUDENTS WHO NEED TO REALLY CATCH UP AND FILL SOME GAPS WE HAVE SO THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE CLASSES THEY ARE TAKING.
CREDIT RECOVERY OPTIONS WAS HUGE FOR US TO LOOK AT INCREASING AND ALSO WHAT WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS SUMMER AND IF YOU LOOK AT OUR SUMMER SCHEDULES, YOU WILL SEE WE ARE ADDING IN CTE COURSES AND CLASSES THAT ARE -- THAT WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO BETTER COMPLETE A-G. IN THE PAST IF A STUDENT RECEIVED A D IN CLASS THAT WAS A COLLEGE A-G CLASS THEY HAD TO RETAKE IT IN THE SCHOOL YEAR. WE ADDED A VENUE IN THE SUMMER THAT THEY CAN TAKE SOME OF THE CLASSES THAT WE ARE SEEING A HIGH LEVEL OF D'S IN THE SUMMER IN A TRUNK INDICATED -- TRUNCATED AND ABBREVIATED FORMAT TO GET THE C SO THEY CAN BE A-G READY. WE WILL CONTINUE A LOT OF THE SUPPORTS WE PURCHASED IN THE LAST YEAR AND WE STARTED AND PILOTED LAST YEAR IN THE SUMMER ACADEMY INCLUDING IXL, FAST-FORWARD, READING ASSISTANT PLUS AND OUR PAPER TUTORING WILL CONTINUE NEXT YEAR WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR 4TH THROUGH 12TH GRADERS. WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE ELEMENTARY TEACHERS AVAILABLE TO DO IN-PERSON TUTORING FOR OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS WHO AREN'T ABLE TO ACCESS THE PAPER TUTORING. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROMOTE OUR CTE CLASSES AT MIDDLE AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THIS YEAR WE DID DO A WHOLE STEAM WEEK.
WE ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND THAT TO ADDITIONAL STUDENTS AND ADDITIONAL TIMES DURING THE YEAR.
AS YOU SAW WITH ESTEEM BUILDING WE ARE ADDING CLASSES TO THAT PROGRAM TO ADDRESS OUR CTE NEEDS FOR OUR STUDENTS.
THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE, TO PROMOTE THE CAREER PATHWAY FOR OUR STUDENTS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THEM BEING PREPARED. IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT BEING ON THE FOUR-YEAR TRACK, BUT ALSO BEING CAREER READY AND AS A REMINDER MAKING SURE THE STUDENTS ARE AS PREPARED AS POSSIBLE FOR THAT TWO-YEAR PATHWAY THAT A LOT OF OUR STUDENTS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE COMPLETE PROGRAMS AND THE PROMISE PROGRAMS AT LONG BEACH CITY AND CERRITOS COLLEGE.
THEY WOULDN'T BE NECESSARILY PREPARED IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE A-G, BUT IF THEY HAVE THE CTE OPTION AND INTERESTING CLASSES THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE, THEY CAN BE PREPARED THAT WAY AS WELL. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE THE SUMMER ACADEMY. IT ACTUALLY STARTS ON WEDNESDAY.
IF YOU DON'T APPROVE T WE ARE TAKING IT OUT OF OTHER MONEY.
AND AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING, WE ARE BUDGETING TO PROVIDE AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING AS I SPOKE ABOUT.
AND WE WILL INCREASE SUPPORT FOR EL STUDENTS DURING THE DAY AND
[00:30:03]
AFTER SCHOOL. WE ARE HOPING TO DO THAT, BUT NOT MAKING PROMISES BECAUSE THIS YEAR WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TEACHERS WHO WANTED TO DO EXTRA. EVERYBODY IS EXHAUSTED AFTER DOING DISTANCE LEARNING AND COMING BACK.IF WE NEED MORE WE WILL DO THAT AND IF THERE ARE REVISIONS NEED, WE WILL DO THAT. YOU SEE THEM EVERY MONTH.
LIKE I SAID, AM -- ACADEMIC NEEDS ARE A HIGH PRIORITY FOR STUDENTS COMING BACK FROM COVID. GOAL 3, EVERYTHING IS BOLDED IN THIS AREA EXCEPT FOR INCORPORATING COMMUNITY SCHOOLS APPROACH, DENTISTS, EYE EXAMS. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE JUST AREN'T READY TO DO FULLY AT THIS TIME.
WE ARE LOOKING AT EXPANDING OUR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS PROGRAM.
MUCH BIKE BELLFLOWER HAS A PARTNERSHIP WITH LACO, WE DID HAVE A CLINIC AT ONE OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND IT DISSOLVED DUE TO FINANCES AND LIABILITY, DOCTORS BEING AVAILABLE. I KNOW WE ARE IN A DOCTOR SHORTAGE, MEDICAL PERSONNEL SHORTAGE, SO WE DON'T SEE THAT AS A FEASIBLE THING TO PUT IN FOR NEXT YEAR.
IT DOESN'T MEAN WE WON'T BE WORKING TOWARD IF THERE ARE RESOURCES TO DO THAT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE OUR PARTNERS TO CONNECT OUR STUDENTS TO OUTSIDE RESOURCES, BUT NOT YET BRINGING IT ON TO THE SCHOOL SITE.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO SURVEY OUR PARENTS TO DETERMINE ONE OF THE THINGS WAS THE BEST MEETING TIMES AND THE TOPICS.
WE HAVE ALREADY DONE ONE PARENT SURVEY AND YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THAT IN JULY WHICH WHICH WAS OUR SPECIAL ED PARENT SURVEY.
IT ASKS THEIR PERCEPTION AND WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE AND WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE AS FAR AS TRAINING AND WHAT WE CAN DO BETTER. WE WILL BE SHARE SOMETHING OF THAT INFORMATION WITH YOU AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SITES WILL DO THAT SO WE WILL GET A PICTURE ON SITE AND DISTRICT.
ONE OF THE REQUESTS FROM PAEURPBS IS TO PROVIDE -- PARENTS IS TO PROVIDE A MIX OF IN PERSON AND VIRTUAL MEETINGS, LIKE A MENU OPTION FOR MEETINGS SO THEY HAVE A VARIETY OF WAYS TO PARTICIPATE, BUT A VARIETY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SCHOOL. SO THINGS LIKE COFFEE WITH A PRINCIPAL, MEETINGS THAT EXPLAIN THE SCHOOL PLAN, MAYBE THEY ARE NOT PART OF COUNCIL, BUT HAVING MEETINGS THAT ARE INFORMATION OL IN NATURE -- INFORMATIONAL IN NATURE.
INCREASING NEWS UPDATES FROM THE SCHOOL SITES TO IN -- TO INFORM PARENTS. AND I SKIPPED ONE.
THAT'S OBVIOUS. WE ARE DOING LOTS OF NEWS UPDATES AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL AND THEY WANT TO SEE THAT COMING FROM THE SCHOOL SO THEY CAN GET MORE INFORMATION DIRECT TO THEIR HOME SCHOOL AND WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THEIR STUDENTS AT THEIR SCHOOL. AND THEY WANT US TO TRY TO RECORD THEIR PRESENT -- PRESENTATION SO PARENTS CAN REVIEW ON THEIR OWN TIME. THAT'S SOMETHING WE WILL WORK ON TO TRY TO DO THAT. WE ARE HOPEFUL AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH MR. LUNDGREN ON A PROGRAM THEY ARE REVAMPING SO MAYBE WE CAN TAP INTO SOME STUDENTS FOR THAT AND MAYBE KAL APP -- CAL APPS. AND THEN INCREASED PARENT WRORBY SITES. THAT IS THE MEETING PIECE, BUT LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN EDUCATE PARENTS AND GIVE THEM MORE SKILLS AND HELP THEM HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEIR KIDS ARE DOING ACADEMICALLY AND HOW THEY CAN SUPPORT THEIR STUDENTS WITH SCHOOL, BUT ALSO AS STUDENTS, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL OR BEHAVIORALLY, THOSE KIND OF
THINGS. >> ARE WE ABLE TO PROVIDE -- EXCUSE ME, FOR THOSE PARENTS WHOE -- WHO DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR VIRTUAL TRAININGS OR MEETINGS?
>> SO, IF YOU REMEMBER WE DISTRIBUTED HOTSPOTS TO ANY FAMILY WHO REQUESTED ONE. IT CAN FACILITATE MULTIPLE DEVICES, SO IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS JUST LINKED TO ONE STUDENT COMPUTER. THAT IS AN OPTION.
WE DO HAVE PARENTS WHO HAVE USED THE STUDENT CHROME BOOKS IF THEY NEED IT. LIKE WHEN WE HAD PARENTS REACH OUT AND SAY I NEED A COMPUTER TO PARTICIPATE FROM HOME, WE ACTUALLY CHECKED OUT OUR COMPUTERS THAT WE NO LONGER COULD USE FOR TESTING. THEY ARE OUT OF CIRCULATION SO THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY. WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN WHEN WE'RE AWARE OF HOW TO SUPPORT THEM.
>> SO WE CAN PUT A MESSAGE OUT TO THEM THAT -- DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THEY MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO REACH OUT, BUT IF WE CAN GET IT ACROSS TO THEM THAT IF THEY WERE IN NEED, THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN GO, THIS IS HOW WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT YOU. IT WOULD BE INCLUSIVE.
>> YES. WE JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WE ARE NOT MAKING COMPUTERS OUT TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS AND GIVING MULTIPLE AND THEN ENDING UP A GIFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GETTING THEM BACK. WE CAN'T CHECK THEM OUT TO EVERY
[00:35:02]
PARENT LIKE EVERY STUDENT, BUT IT CAN BE ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS.>> ANOTHER QUESTION, I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE PROVIDE PARENT WORKSHOPS, IT IS USUALLY IN THE MORNING.
ARE WE GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN STAFF SOME OF THE -- DUE PHRAU -- DUPLICATE THE TRAINING IN THE EVENING?
SOMETIMES PARENTS WORK. >> YES.
AND THAT'S NUMBER ONE, IS TO DETERMINE THE BEST TIMES FOR THE PARENTS. THAT WOULD ALSO PLAY INTO -- AND WE WOULD RECORD THEM. IF WE GAVE UP SOMETHING IN THE MORNING AND WE COULD RECORD IT, THEN PEOPLE COULD WATCH IT AT
THEIR OWN TIME WHEN FEASIBLE. >> THE RECORDING WOULD BE
ONE OF THE SITUATIONS THAT WE HAVE IN THE PAST IN MY EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND PARENTS IS THAT WHEN WE HAVE THESE KIND OF TRAININGS FOR PARENTS, WE HAVE THE SITUATION THAT WE NEED CHILD CARE.
IF WE ARE PLANNING TO BRING -- IF WE ARE GOING TO COME WE NEED CHILD CARE. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED WITH CHILD CARE AND SNACK AND OTHER LOGISTICS.
IT IS DEFINITELY THE BEST WAY TO HAVE THE RECORDING AND THAT MAY BE A LINK THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS FROM HOME.
THEY ARE USING A LOT, YOU KNOW? IT IS BETTER THAN US THIS DEVICE. THANK YOU.
THOSE ARE THE UPDATES. WHEN YOU REVIEWED YOUR LCAP THAT WOULD BE AS FAR AS THE INCREASED ACTIONS OR WHERE WE MADE CHANGES TO ACTIONS AND REFINED THEM FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
>> I HAD ANOTHER QUESTION GOING BACK TO GOAL NUMBER 1 WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL COUNSELORS AND THEN WE HAVE THE INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT COORDINATOR.
IS THERE SOMEWAY WE CAN REVISIT THAT? I WOULD LOVE TO FIND SOME TYPE OF WAY TO MONITOR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING GOALS FOR OUR CHILDREN BECAUSE IT IS -- I THINK -- I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT IT TO SEE HOW WE ARE REALLY GOING TO ADDRESS IT AND USE THESE ADDITIONAL COUNSELORS AND WHAT DID YOU SAY? THE INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT COORDINATOR AND FOCUS ON LIKE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING GOALS FOR ACTUALLY ALL OF OUR STUDENTS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STUDENTS ARE IN A SENSE NOT FORCED, BUT IS TARGETED, THAT EACH CHILD WILL GET SOME ATTENTION. I JUST LIKE TO TALK TO YOU LATER
ABOUT THAT. >> SO WE ARE STARTING WITH SOCIAL AND PHULT -- MULTIPLE LEARNING AND THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING FOUNDATION BECAUSE AT THIS POINT WE ARE TEMPORARY AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE BUILDING THE FOUNDATION ACROSS OUR ORGANIZATION AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING. OUR HIGH SCHOOLS AS WELL WILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. THEY HAVE THEIR COUNSELOR AND THEY HAVE THE COUNSELORS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE AND THEY ARE FOCUS:00 -- FOCUSING ON THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING.
WE ARE TRYING TO FILL THAT OUT. WE ARE TRYING TO START WITH OUR PRINCIPALS. WE BROUGHT IN COACH RUDY WHO IS PART OF SCHOOL CONNECT AND PART OF THE CURRICULUM WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND HE IS TALKING ABOUT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AT TIER1 AND SPECIFICALLY SOME THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE IN THE BEGINNINGS OF THE YEAR.
HE IS A TEACHER HIMSELF SO HE HAS EXAMPLES LIKE GREETING STUDENTS AT THE DOOR AND PRACTICAL THINGS THAT MAY BE
USEFUL IN OUR SCHOOLS. >> HOW ARE WE GETTING FEEDBACK AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE PROGRAM THAT WAS USED ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL IS APPROPRIATE FOR OUR STUDENTS AT OUR PRIMARY GRADE?
>> CURRENTLY SCHOOL CONNECT, THAT WAS PURCHASED FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY ARE NOT IMPLEMENTING THAT AT THIS TIME.
WE ARE IN THE VERY BEGINNING STAGES OF THAT.
COACH RUDY COMING OUT IS TO SPEAK WITH ADMINISTRATORS AND COUNSELORS RIGHT NOW SO THEY CAN LEARN ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING AT THE TIER ONE LEVEL.
[00:40:04]
SECONDARY USE THE SECOND STEPS AND THEY HAVE A CURRICULUMAPPROPRIATE FOR THEIR NEEDS. >> ALTHOUGH THE CURRICULUM IS DIFFERENT, SOME OF THE FOCUSES AND THE TEACHER LEVELS -- WE'RE TALKING TIER1. IT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE KID GETTING SENT OUT OF CLASS, IT IS THE SAME WHETHER IT IS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL OR THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL.
THE EASY EXAMPLE IS GREETING KIDS AT THE DOOR.
WE KNOW NO MATTER HOW OLD THE KID IS, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IF THEY HAVE THE EYE CONTACT AND SOMEBODY THAT WELCOMES INTO THE ROOM. IT IS THOSE THINGS HE IS FOCUSING ON AND NOT THE LEVEL OF THE KAU RIM -- CURRICULUM.
SO THE EBG -- EXPECTATION IS THAT OUR PRINCIPALS WILL HEAR FROM HIM AND THEN HE WILL BE THERE DURING THE DAY AS THEY WORK ON WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE WANT TO COMMIT TO? WHAT DO WE WANT TO WORK ON WITH OUR STAFF? WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE WANT TO TAKE BACK.
THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS WILL WORK OUT THE PLAN OF WHAT CAN WE DO WITH TIER1? WHAT CAN WE DO WITH VALUES.
IT MAY LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT THAT MAY BE ONE OF THE THINGS WE ASK THEM TO TRACK DURING THE YEAR.
>> TIER 1 YOU MEAN WHOLE GROUP INSTRUCTION.
>> CORRECT. >> AND THEN SO TRACKING WOULD BE ON EACH COOL SITE DEPENDING ON THEIR PRIORITIES, DEPENDING ON
THEIR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. >> CORRECT.
>> AND SO HOW OFTEN -- DO WE KNOW HOW OFTEN THOSE WILL BE --
>> WE HAVEN'T DETERMINED THAT. THAT WILL BE PART OF OUR
SO WE ARE JUST LAYING DOWN THE FOUNDATION, THINGS THAT ARE IN GENERAL AND GO TO BECAUSE THEY WORK ALL-AROUND.
>> YES. OUR SECOND DAY WILL BE AROUND INSTRUCTIONAL ROUNDS AND WE WILL BE TALKING AND THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE MODIFY TO INCLUDE SOME OF THE PIECES FOR DATA COLLECTION WITHIN A SEPARATE TOOL SIMILAR TO OUR INSTRUCTIONAL ROUNDS. SO IT MAY JUST BE -- WHEN I WAS PRINCIPAL I WOULD GO OUTSIDE DURING PASSING PERIODS AND JUST LOOK DOWN THE HALL AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE I SAW AT THE DOORS AND SAY THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE I SAW AT THE DOORS AND REINFORCING THAT AND TAKING QUICK DATA IS WHAT WE CALL IT.
YOU ARE JUST ANECDOTALLY AND DOING QUICK COUNTS.
NOT NECESSARILY ASKING STUDENTS, BUT THAT COULD BE A PIECE OF IT.
HOW OFTEN DURING THE DAY ARE YOU GREETED AT THE DOOR? THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THE SITE DECIDES TO DO, A SURVEY AS WELL.
>> SO THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY TEACHERS HAVE TO TRACK.
IT IS MORE ADMINISTRATION. ARE YOU OBSERVING THESE
BEHAVIORS ON YOUR CAMPUS? >> THAT'S WHAT WE HOPE TO DO IS TO PUT IT ON THE ADMINISTRATOR. I COULD SEE AS A PRINCIPAL IF YOU HAD SITE LEADERS FOR EXAMPLE RAMONA HAS GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL ROUNDS AND LOOKING AT THEIR PRIORITIES AND THEY HAVE TEACHERS WHO TAKE TURNS GOING AROUND AND LOOKING TO SEE IF THE THINGS THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED HAPPENING.
I CAN SEE A SCHOOL WOULD DO THAT AND UTILIZE TEACHERS AND THAT CREATES MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS FROM TEACHERS ON WHAT THEY SEE ON THE CAMPUS AND WHAT IS WORKING AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IT AS OPPOSED TO BEING TOP DOWN.
THE HOPE IS THAT EACH SITE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE PRIORITIES AND HAVE THINGS THEY ARE COMMITTING TO FOR SEL THAT WILL THEN FEEDBACK INTO THE DISTRICT OUTCAP GOALS.
EACH SITE IS DIFFERENT AND WE TPWHAOED -- NEED TO HONOR THE
CULTURE. >> DO WE KNOW IF THESE PROGRAMS COME WITH MAYBE SURVEYS OF THEIR OWN PROGRAMS TO MAYBE ASK THE STUDENTS AND SURVEY IF THE PROGRAM IS WORKING FOR THEM?
>> NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF THAT THERE IS A SURVEY WITHIN THOSE PROGRAMS. WE DO ADMINISTER PANORAMA THAT WE USE LIED -- UTILIZE FOR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING.
>> AND WILL WE BE USING PANORAMA PERHAPS TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ON
THAT? >> PANORAMA WOULDN'T GIVE FEEDBACK DIRECTLY TO THE CURRICULUM.
IT WOULD GIVE FEEDBACK TO SOCIAL /EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN THE
STUDENT'S REPORTING. >> ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. >> I DIDN'T SEE -- I DIDN'T SEE IT AND I UNDERSTAND WE ARE AT THE BEGINNING STAGES OF THIS UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL. YOU GUYS KNOW I'M THAT PRESCHOOLER. WHERE WOULD THE -- I KNOW WE ARE AT THE BEGINNING STAGES LIKE I SAID.
WILL THIS COME INTO PLAY AND I KNOW WE HAVE A SURVEY OUT ALREADY. WHEN THAT COMES INTO PLAY WILL THAT GO UNDER GOAL TWO? WHEN YOU MAKE THE RESCISSIONS WILL YOU ADD THAT TO THAT? AND WHEN MIGHT WE START IT?
[00:45:01]
OR AM I JUST TOO EXCITED ABOUT UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL?>> NO. YOU ARE NOT TOO EXCITED.
REMEMBER, WE ALREADY HAVE IT. WE ALREADY HAVE PRESCHOOL FOR OUR 3-YEAR-OLDS AND WE HAVE CALIFORNIA STATE PRESCHOOL AND SPECIAL EDUCATION PRESCHOOL AND WE HAVE 2K.
ALL UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL IS DOING IS ADDING IN THE AGE RANGE FOR TK. TK IS A LIMITED GROUP OF STUDENTS THAT HAVE THEIR BIRTHDAY BETWEEN LIKE SEPTEMBER 1ST AND DECEMBER. WELL, WHAT THE STATE IS DOING IS GETTING IT ULTIMATELY TO WHERE EVERY FOUR-YEAR-OLD GETS THAT EXTRA YEAR OF KINGED -- KINDERGARTEN.
IT IS IN HERE. WHAT YOU WOULD START TO SEE IS AN INCREASE OF STAFFING, AN INCREASE IN MAYBE MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES THAT WE NEED TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL -- IF WE ARE SETTING UP A CLASSROOM AND THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RUGS OR -- I CAN'T EVEN THINK. THE DEVELOPMENTAL PLAY MATERIALS, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
THAT'S WHERE YOU WILL SEE. IT IS IN HERE AS A BASE.
I WANT TO SAY 9 CLASSES. EIGHT.
I WENT ONE HIGH. WE HAVE EIGHT TK CLASSES.
AS THE AGE RANGE EXPANDS WE WILL BE ADDING CLASSES BASED ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO WANT TO BE PART OF THE PROGRAM.
>> SHE WAS JUST SAYING THAT WE ALSO FROM SPECIAL ED TK.
IT IS A FULL GAMUT OF PROGRAMS AND WE ARE LOOKING AT POSSIBLY ADDING IN TK DUAL BECAUSE WHAT WE ARE FINDING IS SOME OF OUR STUDENTS STAY IN A STATE PRE COOL PROGRAM A LITTLE LONGER BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO MISS THE EXTRA YEAR, BUT WANT THE DUAL SUPPORT. THA*SZ -- THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE WE ARE LOOKING AT EXPANDING ASSUMING WE CAN FIND TEACHERS
WITH THE DUAL BILINGUAL. >> I VISITED MANY OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THIS PAST MONTH AND THEY WERE TALKING TO THE TK PARENTS AND STUDENTS THAT WILL BE COMING IN THIS FALL.
IT WAS VERY EXCITING AND THEY HAD IT IN PLACE.
IT WAS VERY EXCITING. IT'S THERE AND IT'S WORKING AND I HAVE SEEN IT IN PLAY. THE ONES COMING IN ARE -- YOU HAVE -- THEY HAVE DUAL LANGUAGE, YOU NAME IT.
THEY HAVE A LOT GOING FOR THEM. >> THAT'S GREAT.
I AM HOPING THIS PROGRAM REALLY GROWS WITH THAT EXTENDED GAP THEY ARE ALLOWING THE KIDS TO ENTER.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
>> YES. >> WITH THAT, BASED ON EMOTIONAL LEARNING, ARE WE HAVING BENCHMARKS OF -- I MEAN THAT'S A GOOD TIME TO START AND BEHAVIOR BENCHMARKS ARE COMING IN AND LOOKING AT PROGRESSION OR DECLINE EARLY ON.
WE ARE TARGETING INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS AND SUPPORTING THEM ON THOSE PARTICULAR EMOTION-BASED LEARNING PRINCIPALS AS YOU'RE STARTING. SO THAT WAY IT CARRIES ON THROUGH THEIR PROGRAM, ELEMENTARY -- I CAN SEE YOU SMILE SO WE ARE ON THE SAME WAVE LENGTH.
THAT WOULD BE A TRUE MEASURE OF PROGRESS WHEN WE STA*RT DOING
>> ONE OF THE THINGS INCLUDED WITH YOUR LCAP WAS AN ORGANIZATIONAL CHART THAT INCLUDES A PICTURE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFFING AT DISTRICT LEVEL.
ONE OF THOSE IS A NEW POSITION WHICH IS DIRECTOR OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. WE ARE LOOKING WITH YOUR APPROVAL OF ADDING THE DIRECTOR POSITION AND THEY WILL ACTUALLY BE OVERSEEING ALL OF OUR PRE-KINDER PROGRAMS. AND SO THAT WILL BE PART OF THEIR CHARGE IS TO TRACK DATA WITH THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT PROGRAM AND THEY ARE NOT STAND ALONE PROGRAMS. TK IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FIRST YEAR OF A TRUE KINDERGARTEN.
IF THEY START WITH US AT AGE 3 THEY ARE GETTING THE DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRESSIONS THEY NEED AND WE ARE TRACKING THEIR NEEDS AND MOVING INTO TK AND HOW DOES THAT FIT WITH WHAT THEY LEARNED IN PRESCHOOL AND THEN MOVING INTO KINDER.
SO OUR HOPE IS THAT WITH THE UNIVERSAL PRE K AND WITH THE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM A DISTRICT LEVEL AND WITH THAT DIRECTOR WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF TRACKING THE STUDENTS. WE ALL KNOW THE EARLIER YOU INTERVENE WITH STUDENT BEHAVIOR AND STUDENT ACADEMICS, THE BIGGER THE RE-- THE REWARDS ARE SO MAKING SURE WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT. WHEN I SAY FULL GAMUT, THEY WILL ALSO BE WORKING WITH THE SPECIAL ED PEOPLE TO IMPROVE OPPORTUNITY
[00:50:02]
BETWEEN TK AND PRE-K FOR STUDENTS.HOPEFULLY MOVE STUDENTS OUT OF NEEDING SPECIAL ED SERVICES MORE QUICKLY. YES.
>> SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THANK YOU DR. SUE BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT HAVING GOALS FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR CHILDREN. AS WE ARE BUILDING THIS PROGRAM, HAVE YOU GUYS LOOKED AT THE STATE PRESCHOOL FOUNDATIONS? YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE PRESCHOOL FOUNDATION ALREADY SET UP WITH SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL GOALS FOR UP TO AGE FIVE, I BELIEVE IT IS.
IS IT FIVE? >> IT GOES ALL THE WAY UP.
THERE ARE ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL AND THAT WILL BE A BIG PIECE OF IT IS REALLY REFINING AT EACH STAGE.
AND IT IS MAYBE DOING THINGS AND IT IS TO SOLIDIFY THE FULL
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM. >> THE FOUNDATION IS THERE.
>> SCAN I -- AN -- CAN I ADD ONE MORE THING? YOU WILL SEE IN JULY -- NO. NEXT WEEK.
NEXT WEEK. YOU WILL SEE THE PRE-K PLAN THAT THE STATE IS DOING AND IT IS GIVING US $237,000 WHICH ISN'T A WHOLE LOT TO START EXPANDING OUR TK.
IT IS A PLANNING GRANT. YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS A SIMPLE APPLICATION. THERE ARE A LOT OF CHECKED BOXES AND A NARRATIVE. YOU WILL SEE THAT COMING FOR APPROVAL NEXT MONTH, NEXT WEEK. THAT WILL BE PART OF THAT
UNIVERSAL PRE-K PIECE. >> EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANYTHING ELSE?
THANK YOU. UNDER GOAL 2, LAST BULLET POINT, INCREASING [INAUDIBLE] FOR EL STUDENTS DURING AND AFTER SCHOOL, CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE SUPPORT FOR THESE STUDENTS? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHAT TYPES OF SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN? YOU SAID DURING SCHOOL, BUT ALSO AFTER SCHOOL. I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN SEEING
YOUR VISION FOR THE AFTER SCHOOL >> AFTER SCHOOL WAS NOT HIGHLIGHTED. IF YOU REMEMBER, IF IT WASN'T HIGHLIGHTED WE WEREN'T GOING TO BE NECESSARILY CUTTING, BUT I WASN'T WILLING TO MAKE A COMMITMENT WE WOULD INCREASE EFFORTS AFTER SCHOOL BECAUSE SOME OF THE THINGS DONE IN THE PAST AND I WILL LET MS. CARTER EXPAND ON THIS, BUT WE DID THINGS LIKE DISCUSSIONS FOR LEARNING WHICH WAS AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM AND OUR AIDS WORKED WITH STUDENTS TO TALK ABOUT ART AND THEY USED LANGUAGE AROUND ART.
WE HAVE PURCHASED SOME INTERVENTION PROGRAMS THAT COULD BE USED AS WELL AFTER SCHOOL, BUT THEY ARE DURING THE DAY.
I WILL LET MS. CARTER TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT FALLS UNDER HER
DEPARTMENT AND SPECIALTY. >> OUR FORWARD READING ASSISTANCE WOULD HELP SUPPORT OUR ENGLISH LEARNER GROUPS.
DISCUSSION OF LEARNING WAS SOMETHING WE USED IN THE PAST.
THIS IS THE INTERVENTION THAT WE PURCHASED FOR OUR SUMMER ACADEMY AND HAVE HAD THIS YEAR AS WELL. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT INCREASE, BUT MS. BARON IS RIGHT.
AFTER SCHOOL IS WILL DEPEND IF WE CAN STAFF AFTER SCHOOL.
WE HAVE THE PROGRAMS TO BE USE -- UTILIZED AFTER THE SCHOOL
DAY. >> SO WHATEVER IS USED DURING THE SCHOOL DAY COULD BE USED FOR THE AFTER SCHOOL SUPPORT.
THANK YOU. >> I HAVE JUST A BRIEF QUESTION.
IF WE ARE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, IN THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, IS THERE ANY OTHER POSSIBILITY TO DO SOME OTHER OUTSIDE PARTNERS COMING TO OUR FACILITIES TO PROVIDE SOME, YOU KNOW, TUTORING? NOT NECESSARILY MAKE THE REFERRALS BECAUSE I HAD THAT EXPERIENCE BEFORE, BUT DIFFERENT STORY, YOU KNOW, A PARTNERSHIP WITH ANY OTHER NONPROFIT TO JUST COME TO THE FACILITY AND PROBABLY DO A PILOT, YOU KNOW, A PILOT TUTORING PROGRAM WITH ONE OR TWO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
THAT'S AN IDEA FROM MY EXPERIENCE I HAD BEFORE.
THANK YOU. >> JUST ONE QUICK PROBABLY JUST A GENTLE REMINDER. WE ALSO HAVE EL IN THE DUAL
[00:55:02]
EMERGING PROGRAM. SO SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN TOTHOSE TEACHERS AND CLASSROOMS. >> FAST-FORWARD AND READING ASSISTANT ARE OPEN TO ANY ENGLISH LEARNER THAT NEEDS THAT SUPPORT. THEY ARE NOT DIRECTLY DUAL IMMERSION SO IT IS NOT SPANISH, BUT IT IS FOR ENGLISH.
SO IF THEY ARE AN ENGLISH LEARNER AND THEY NEED THE SUPPORT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT.
>> OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OKAY.
SO DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING?
DO I HAVE A SECOND? >> SECOND.
>> ROLL CALL PLEASE. >> DR. ELHESSEN?
[9. 2022-2023 LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) – PROPOSED BUDGET 2022-2023]
>> I. >> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE 2022-2023 LOCAL CONTROL AND FUNDING FORMULA THAT IS THE
LCFF PROPOSED BUDGET. >> AT THIS TIME I AM GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT TO WALK THE BOARD THROUGH THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.
>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING BOARD PRESIDENT AND BOARD MEMBERS. NOW THAT YOU WERE PRESENTED WITH THE LCAP, WE WILL HAVE THE PROPOSED BUDGET TO HELP FUND THE ACTIONS AND THE GOALS FOUND IN THE LCAP.
SO IN THE EDUCATION WORLD, THE NEW FISCAL YEAR STARTS ON JULY 1ST. THIS TRIGGERS THE START OF THE BUDGET CYCLE FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR.
ALL OF THE LEG WORK TAKES PLACE BEFORE JULY 1ST.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT A BUDGET IS FLUID AND ESPECIALLY SINCE THE GOVERNOR HIMSELF HAS NOT YET STEINED THE STATE BUDGET FOR 22-23. TODAY'S BUDGET PRESENTATION WILL PROVIDE YOU A COMPARISON OF KEY CHANGES FROM THE ESTIMATED ACTUALS OF THE 2021-2022 BUDGET TO THE PROPOSED 2022-2023 BUDGET AND WE WILL LOOK AT THE PROPOSED TOTALS FOR THE 22-23 AND ALSO OUR MULTI-YEAR FUND PROJECTIONS AND FINISH WITH THE NEXT STEPS.
SO LOOKING AT SOME CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING TODAY IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS DECLINING ENROLLMENT CONTINUES NOT JUST IN BUSD, BUT STATEWIDE.
DEFICIT SPENDING INCLUDES REQUIRED CONTRIBUTIONS AS WELL AS IMPACT DUE TO REVENUE LOSS AND INCREASED COSTS.
THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS IS LOWER THAN THE CURRENT INFLATION RATE. THE CURRENT INFLATION RATE RIGHT NOW IS 7.9, 90% AND THE COLA IS SLATED AT 56%.
OUR BOOKS FOR THE 20 -- THE 21/22 YEAR ARE NOT YET CLOSED AND CARRYOVER IS NOT INCLUDED. RETIREMENT COSTS CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE 3% MINIMUM REQUIRED RESERVE WOULD NOT COVER OUR MONTHLY EXPENDITURES AND THE FUND BALANCE HAS ASSIGNED AMOUNTS AS NOW REQUIRED AND NEED TO PLAN FOR FUTURE WITH OUR RESERVES. THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE SHOULD THINK OF WHEN PRESENTING THESE NUMBERS TO YOU.
AS STATED THE BUDGET PROCESS STARTED IN JANUARY WITH THE GOVERNOR'S INITIAL RELEASE OF THE BUDGET.
THE FISCAL DEPARTMENT AT THAT TIME STARTS WORKING ON PREPARING ALLOCATIONS AND BUDGET WORKSHEETS FORESIGHTS AND DEPARTMENTS. BECAUSE OF THAT, SOME OF THE INFORMATION AT THE TIME OF BUDGET PREPARATION AND FOR THE ASSUMPTIONS IS USED BASED ON REFLECTIONS THAT REFLECT BOTH THE JANUARY AND THE MAY BUDGETARY LEASE INFORMATION AS YOU CAN SEE NOTED HERE. THESE ARE KEY CHANGES AND ASSUMPTIONS USED. WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT HERE IS THAT YOU CAN SEE THE LCSF WENT UP -- LCFF WENT UP 530 FOR GRADES 4-6 AND 555 FOR 6 TO 8 AND 653 FOR HIGHER.
THE COLA WENT UP FROM 5.07 TO 6.56 AND MAKING IT AN INCREASE
[01:00:02]
OF 1.49%. AND THESE CHANGES DO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO THE LCFF WHICH YOU WILL SEE WHEN WE LOOK AT THE REVENUE COME -- COMPARISON.CALSTRS AND CALPERS WENT UP. YOU CAN SEE THE FUNDED ADA IS DROPPING BY 668. NOW HERE IN THE FUNDED ADA IF YOU RECALL THERE IS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT HOW ADA WAS GOING TO BE FUNDED BECAUSE OF THE HOLD HARMLESS, THIS IS BASED ON THE THREE-YEAR AVERAGE FUNDED ADA AND THAT IS WHAT YOU CAN SEE FOR THE PROPOSED 22/23 WHERE IT IS SCHEDULED FOR AT 10,460 COMPARED TO THE CURRENT ADA AT 10,998 SO A LOSS OF 668 WHEN IT COMES TO THE FUNDED ADA. AND NOW LOOKING AT OUR REVENUES, AGAIN, THIS BUDGET PRESENTED TO YOU IS COMPARING THE ESTIMATED ACTUALS OF 2021-20/ -- 202 JUAN- 2021-2023.
YOU HAVE THE FEDERAL TAXES AND THE OTHER REVENUE -- APOLOGIZE.
I DIDN'T MOVE THE SLIDE OVER. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
AGAIN, YOU ARE LOOKING AT YOUR LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA AND THE LCFF WE HAD A PERCENTAGE INCREASE OF 5.9% IN REVENUE.
THAT'S DUE TO THE HIGHER BASE RATE THAT WAS DISCUSSED EARLIER IN THE ASSUMPTIONS AND THE HIGHER COLA EVEN THOUGH THE FUNDED ADA IS LOWER. OUR OTHER REVENUE SOURCES HAD A LOWER PROPOSED AMOUNT BECAUSE AS SHARED BEFORE, CARRYOVER IS NOT PART OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET. ADDITIONALLY 2021-22 HAD A HIGHER REVENUE DUE TO ONE-TIME FUNDING.
WHEN YOU COMPARE THE REVENUE TOTALS IN THE 2021 SKAL YEAR YOS 1,000,082, 913, 866 AND THE PROPOSED 166, 614, 476.
THAT IS A DIFFERENCE OF REVENUE OF A LITTLE OVER 16 MILLION.
AGAIN, CARRYOVER IS NOT PART OF THE REVENUE.
AND NOW MOVING ON TO OUR EXPENDITURES.
OUR EXPENDITURES SHOW A DROP FOR THE 22-23 YEAR.
THE BIGGEST DROP IN THE CAPITAL OUTLAY WHICH WOULD INCLUDE ANY PURCHASES OVER 5,000. IN 2021 WE HAD HIGHER AMOUNTS BECAUSE OF ONE-TIME FUNDING USED FOR THESE EBGDZ PENNED TOUR -- EXPENDITURES LIKE THE HVAC UNIT AND THE SHADE SHELTERS.
FOR THE 2023 YEAR FOR CAPITAL OUTLAY WE HAD BUDGETED FOR A NORMAL YEAR AND THEN OUR OTHER OUT -- OUTHG -- OUTGO YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT IS REVENUE. YOU CAN SEE A SMALLER AMOUNT OF REVENUE COMING IN AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE MONITOR THROUGHOUT THE YEAR SO THE NUMBERS WILL ALSO CHANGE.
OVERALL OUR EXPENDITURES ARE DROPPING BY A LITTLE OVER $3 MILLION WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PROPOSED.
BUT AGAIN, SOME OF THE ONE-TIME FUNDS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS.
SOME OF THE ONE-TIME EXPENDITURES ARE NOT PART OF THIS AS WELL. AND NOW COMPARING OUR REVENUE OVEREXPENDITURES FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET.
THESE ARE ESTIMATED ACTUALS TO DATE RIGHT NOW BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE HAVE. AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE BOOKS ARE NOT YET CLOSED. BASED ON THE ESTIMATED ACTUALS WE STARTED THE YEAR WITH A LITTLE OVER 102,000,943, 525.
OUR REVENUES FOR THE YEAR WERE 182, 913.
WE ARE EXPECTING A DEFICIT SPENDING OF 10 MILLION THAT WOULD BRING THE ENDING BALANCE DOWN TO 93 MILLION 014, 972 AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET YOU WOULD TAKE THE ENDING FUND BALANCE FROM 2021 AND START IT AS YOUR NEW BEGINNING FUND BALANCE.
YOU HAVE YOUR REVENUES AND YOUR EXPENDITURES AND OUR CURRENT PROPOSED BUDGET BECAUSE CARRYOVER IS NOT PART OF THIS IS TO BE AT A DEFICIT SPENDING OF 23, 510, 000 BRINGING THE BALANCE TO 69, 504, 285. THIS IS ABOUT 30% OF A WHOLE FISCAL YEAR'S EXPENDITURES WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THAT ENDING
[01:05:03]
>> CORRECT. IT IS A POSITIVE ENDING FUND BALANCE. THE NEXT ONE HERE YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSED ENDING FUND BALANCE THAT INCLUDES ASSIGNED REVENUE AS REQUIRED AS WELL AS SOME UNASSIGNED REVENUE.
SO WE DO HAVE SOME RESTRICTIVE PROGRAMS AS PART OF OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE SOME OF OUR TITLE PROGRAMS. THAT MAKES ABOUT 10 MILLION OF OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE IN THOSE AMOUNTS.
WE ARE PROPOSING 23, 756, 000 IN THE ENDING FUND BALANCE AND WE ARE ASKING FOR SOME OF IT NOT TO BE PAID BY COLA.
THE INFLATION IS 7.9%. SO IT IS THE DIFFERENCE THERE.
WE HAVE MONEY RESERVED IN THE ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. AS WELL AS UNUH 9ED THAT IS THE MINIMUM -- ASSIGNED THAT IS THE MINIMUM 3% THAT LEAVES THE ENDING FUND BALANCE THE AMOUNT SHOWN PREVIOUSLY UNDER 70 MILLION AND AS DR. SUE SAID A POSITIVE ENDING FUND BALANCE AND SO THOSE WOULD BE THE COMPONENTS AT THE END OF 22/23.
>> SOME OF THOSE RESTRICTED FUNDS ARE GRANT FUNDING WE ARE
GETTING TOO? >> SOME OF THOSE RESTRICTIVE FUNDS MAY BE SOME OF -- YES, THE ONE-TIME FUNDING AS WELL AS TITLE AND LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT ONES ALLOCATED ON
THAT. >> THAT'S ALL INCLUSIVE?
>> CORRECT. >> AND I'M SORRY, ONCE ASSIGNED, IF NEEDED ELSEWHERE, CAN IT BE MOVED TO WHERE IT IS NEEDED?
>> YES, IT CAN. IT WROTE -- IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD WORK WITH THE BOARD.
>> AND THEN THE NEXT HERE, YOU ARE ABLE TO ONCE AGAIN SEE JUST THE PROJECTED EXPENDITURES IN A PIE CHART THERE AND SEEING OUR BIGGEST EXPENDITURE ARE SALARIES AND BENEFITS.
WE HAVE ABOUT 76% OF -- OOPS. DID I JUMP ONE? SORRY. OUR BUDGET -- BUDGETED PROJECTED REVENUE. THE BIGGEST IS LCSF WHICH IS 66% AND THEN OUR PROPERTY TAXES AND REVENUES IS 15% AND SO FORTH.
THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE THE DISTRIBUTION IS OF THOSE FUNDS. AND NOW JUMPING TO THE EXPENDITURES, OUR BIGGEST EXPENDITURE AS YOU ALREADY PROBABLY NO ARE SALARIES AND BENEFITS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE CANNOT EDUCATE OUR KIDS WITHOUT OUR STAFF.
THAT IS OUR BIGGEST EXPENDITURE AND FOLLOWED BY SERVICES AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENDITURES WHICH FOR THOSE ARE CONTRACTS.
SOME OF OUR SPECIAL ED CONTRACTS AND THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS ARE FOUND IN THOSE EXPENDITURES. AND NOW GOING ON TO OUR MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS. THESE ARE PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEXT THREE FISCAL YEARS. LOOKING AT 22/23, 23/24, AND 24/25. VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THESE ARE CURRENTLY ASSUMPTIONS AND WITHOUT FUTURE ACTIONS OF THE BOARD. THIS DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION BUDGETARY DUCKSES AND CUTS -- BUDGET REDUCTIONS OR CUTS. THIS IS IF WE CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS WE ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING.
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO MEET OUR 3% MINIMUM RESERVE. HOWEVER, OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE WOULD START TO DEPLETE AND SO IT IS SOMETHING AS STATED EARLIER IN THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE NEED TO MONITOR AND LOOK AT AND AS WE REVISE THE BUDGET, WE WILL SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS SHIFT AND CHANGE, BUT AT THIS TIME WE ARE ENDING OUR 24/25 SCHOOL YEAR FISCAL YEAR WITH A TOTAL AVAILABLE RESERVE -- THE TOTAL END FUND BALANCE IS 17 MILLION 739, 475.
BUT ONLY 5, 413, 516 WOULD BE RESTRICTED.
UNRESTRICTED. THAT WOULD BE -- THE REST IS THE UNRESTRICTED FUNDS. THAT'S THE THREE-YEAR MULTI PROJECTIONS. FINALLY NOW THAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT THESE NUMBERS, SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AS STATED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS PRESENTATION, CARRYOVER IS NOT PART OF THIS. HOWEVER, WE HAVE HAD ONE-FUNDS THAT HAVE HELPED IN NOT HAVING TO TAP INTO RESERVES.
[01:10:04]
HOWEVER, THE ONE-TIME FUNDS WILL BE ELIMINATED BY 2024 AS OF RIGHT NOW BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE HAVE.WE ARE PROJECTED TO HAVE A REVENUE LOSS DUE TO ADA IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS OF 5.1 MILLION. IF THEY CONTINUE TO USE THE THREE-YEAR AVERAGE. SO IF THEY CONTINUE TO FUND US ON THE THREE-YEAR AVERAGE WHICH THEY CURRENTLY -- WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE BEING FUNDED IT WOULD BE 5.1 MILLION.
HOWEVER, IF THEY GO BACK TO THE OLD METHOD WE ARE LOOKING AT A REVENUE LOSS OF 33.1 MILLION. SO WE HOPE THAT THEY CONTINUE WITH THIS TREND OF THE THREE-YEAR AVERAGE AND THAT WAS TO HELP US NOT FEEL THE HIT OF THE LOSS OF REVENUE AS QUICKLY BECAUSE WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THAT REVENUE LOSS.
STAOFING SHORTAGE -- STAFFING SHORTAGES CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE COST OF LABOR. OUR MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS ARE BASED ON CURRENT ASSUMPTIONS AND DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR FUTURE ACTIONS AS STATED EARLIER BY THE GOVERNING BOARD.
AND FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT NEED REPAIRS AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON A FACILITIES MASTER PLAN WHICH IS AGAIN WHY WE MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION FOR SOME OF THOSE ASSIGNED FUNDS TO BE IN THE AREA OF FACILITIES AND THEN FORECASTERS STATE THAT A RECESSION IS COMING.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR YOUR RESERVES AND CONSTANTLY MONITOR YOUR BUDGET AND LOOK AT THAT HEALTHY RESERVE. THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS TO HELP SUPPORT AGAIN SOME OF THOSE ACTIONS AND ANGLES FOUND IN THE LCAP. THE NEXT STEPS THAT WE WILL BE DOING IS ON JUNE 16TH, THE DISTRICT WILL ADOPT THE BUDGET FOR 22/23 AND THAT ACTUAL ADOPTION HAPPENS EVEN BEFORE THE GOVERNOR SIGNS HIS. SO SOME CHANGES CAN HAPPEN EVEN THEN. WE TURN IN OUR BUDGET TO THE COUNTY OFFICE AND STATE FINALIZES THEIR BUDGET SEPTEMBEL YEAR ARE DUE AND WE CAN SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS MORE CLEARLY.
ON DECEMBER 15TH, OUR FIRST INTERIM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR IS DUE TO THE COUNTY. OUR FIRST INTERIM REPORTING WE HAVE THE CARRY -- CARRYOVER AND HAVE MADE CHANGES.
YOU CAN START TO SEE THE NUMBERS MORE, BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE PRAYING YOU WITH THE MOST RECENT INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE BASED
ON OUR ASSUMPTIONS. >> I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.
>> SURE. >> PROBABLY NOT QUICK.
I'M LOOKING AT -- I'M GONNA GO BACK TO THE SLIDE FOR THE
MULTI-YEAR PROJECTION. >> SURE.
>> IF I'M UNDERSTANDING THIS CORRECTLY, WHEN YOU SAY EXCESS, YOU ARE LOOKING AT TAPPING INTO THE RESERVE.
>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> SO WHEN YOU SAY 3% MINIMUM RESERVE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO MAINTAIN AS A STATE
POLICY. >> THAT IS THE STATE REQUIREMENT, YES, TO MEET A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION.
>> SO I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS YOU MAY -- YOU PROJECTED THE EXPENDITURES BASED ON THE 3% MINIMUM.
>> I'M NOT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN BY PROJECTED THE
EXPENDITURES. >> THE DEFICIT BUDGET AND SPENDING, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE EXPENDITURES, REVENUES AND SO FORTH, WHEN WE ARE PULLING MONEY FROM THE RESERVE, THE ALLOCATION OF THAT MONEY IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION OF THE 3% MINIMUM.
>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE INFORMATION HERE THE REVENUES WE ARE PROJECTED TO GET FOR THAT YEAR ARE 166 MILLION.
THE PROPOSED EXPENDITURES THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED BY SITES AND DEPARTMENT OFS -- DEPARTMENTS ARE 190.
SO THAT MEANS IN ORDER TO MEET YOUR EXPENDITURES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR YOU NEED TO TAP INTO YOUR RESERVES AND THE AMOUNT WE WOULD BE TAPPING INTO FROM THE BEGINNING FUND BALANCE WHICH IS THE 93 WOULD BE 23, AND SO THEN IT GIVES YOU AN ENDING FUND BALANCE BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU WENT INTO YOUR RESERVES IF EVERYTHING CAME TO FRUITION, IF ALL OF YOUR EXPENDITURES CAME TO FRUITION, THAT IS HOW MUCH YOU WOULD BE TAPPING INTO YOUR
RESERVES. >> A TOTAL OF 28, 616, 000 WHEN YOU ARE TAKING THE MONEY. I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IN MY HEAD WHEN YOU ARE TALKING IS YOU -- IN ORDER TO MEET THE DEFICIT, SO IN ORDER FOR US NOT TO FUNCTION IN THE RED, HOW ARE
[01:15:01]
YOU ALLOCATING THE PERCENTAGE THAT YOU ARE TAKING FROM THERESERVE? >> BASED ON THE EXPENDITURES.
SO WHATEVER WAS OVER -- SO YOU GET REVENUE.
IF YOU SPEND MORE, NOW YOU HAVE GONE INTO YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT,
IS THERE A FORMULA YOU ARE USING FOR THAT?
>> YES. WE ARE SUBTRACTING THE 108, 090, 00 TO THE REEF KNEWS RECEIVED. TO THE REVENUES RECEIVED.
YOU SUBTRACT THOSE NUMBERS AND THAT'S HOW YOU GET THE 23.
YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW AT THE BEGINNING OF THAT 22/23 YEAR HAS 93 MILLION. THAT'S YOUR BEGINNING FUND BALANCE. BECAUSE YOUR EXPENDITURES ARE E- EXCEEDING YOUR REVENUE YOU HAVE TO GO INTO YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
>> CORRECT. IT REDUCES THE FUND BALANCE.
WHAT THIS IS SHOWING IS THE YEARS TO COME -- SO THEN YOU TAKE YOUR ENDING FUND BALANCE FROM 22/23 AND THAT'S WHAT YOU
I UNDERSTAND THAT. I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS WHEN WE'RE PROJECTING OUT AND WE HAVE TO MEET THE REQUIRED MINIMUM OF 3% FOR OUR RESERVE WHAT I'M SAYING IS THERE ANY TIME WHEN YOU ARE CALCULATING -- I UNDERSTAND THE FIGURES AND YOU ARE SUBTRACTING, BUT TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM OF 3% AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD, WE ARE GOING TO BE HITTING BELOW THAT RESERVE
AMOUNT IF WE CONTINUE. >> CORRECT.: IF WE WERE TO CONTINUE IN THE PATTERN, CORRECT.
>> OKAY. >> JUST FOR HELP, REMEMBER THAT THIS IS ASSUMING THAT WE CONTINUE WITH ALL OF THE EXPENDITURES THAT ARE IN THE CURRENT LCAP AND CARRY THEM OUT
FOR THE THREE YEARS. >> RIGHT.
>> ALSO REMEMBER LOOKING AT YOUR NUMBERS, THERE IS AN ENDING FUND BALANCE AND THEN THE RESERVE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS, YOU ARE ACTUALLY COMBINING -- YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE 17 WHICH IS YOUR NEXT YEAR. SO, YES, IF WE CONTINUE TO -- BY YEAR FOUR WE WOULDN'T MAKE IT. BUT THERE ARE THINGS THE BOARD WILL BE CONSIDERING IN THE NEXT YEAR AND THE YEARS AS WE LOOK AT STAFFING AND AS WE LOOK AT ENROLLMENT.
THERE ARE THINGS WE WILL DO TO MITIGATE AND STABILIZE OUR BUDGET. THIS IS WORST CASE SCENARIO IF WE MAKE NO CHANGES TO ANYTHING AND KEPT THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS WE HAVE, EVEN THOUGH ENROLLMENT DECLINES BY 668, RIGHT, YOU HAVE LESS KIDS, YOU NEEDLESS TEACHERS.
IF WE WEREN'T MAKING THOSE ADJUSTMENTS, THIS IS WORST CASE SCENARIO THREE YEARS OUT. BUT THREE YEARS OUT, WE ARE CERTIFYING THAT WE CAN MEET OUR RESERVES, SO IT IS SHOWING YOU THAT BASED ON THE PLAN CURRENTLY IF WE MAKE NO CHANGES WHICH WE KNOW EVERY YEAR THE BOARD MAKES CHANGES WE CAN STILL MEET OUR GOALS. AND NOW YOU -- YOUR DEFICIT SPENDING, THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER YOU ARE WILLING TO DO THAT AT THIS POINT WITH WORST CASE SCENARIO.
>> WE CAN ALWAYS AT THE END OF THE YEAR, AFTER WE CLOSE BOOKS AND WE DO HAVE CARRY OVER, WE CAN ALWAYS ADD TO OUR RESERVE.
AM I CORRECT? >> THE BOARD GETS TO CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. REMEMBER, WE HAVE HIT A THRESHOLD THOUGH AS WE SHARED WHERE IF WE DO ADD TO THE RESERVE ABOVE THAT 3%, WE NEED TO BE ASSIGNING THAT RESERVE AT THIS POINT. SEVERAL YEARS AGO PRE-COVID WE DID ASSIGN OUR RESERVE AND SAID WE ARE PUTTING MONEY IN FOR TECHNOLOGY. FORTUNATELY WE GOT A LOT OF COVID MONEY THAT LET US DO THOSE UPGRADES IN TECHNOLOGY AND THAT'S WHERE WE STILL HAVE SOME OF THE SAVINGS.
>> AND 3% IS THE MINIMUM REQUIRED? ANYTHING OVER 10% HAS TO BE ASSIGNED.
>> AND IF WE -- I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL EVER HAPPEN, BUT IF WD US BASED ON OUR ENROLLMENT VERSUS OUR ATTENDANCE, WILL -- IF THAT WAS TO HAPPEN. WITH THE WAY THE ENROLLMENT IS GOING AND IT IS ADA IS REALLY HURTING US ESPECIALLY WHEN KIDS HAVE TO BE OUT WHEN THEY ARE SICK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HOW DO YOU CONSIDER IF THE STATE WOULD ALLOW US TO BE FUNDED BY
ENROLLMENT. >> IF THAT WAS TO HAPPEN OUR ASSUMPTIONS WOULD CHANGE AND AS STATED THAT WOULD BE FOR THE POSITIVE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DECIDED UP TOP, BUT THEN YOU WOULD BE USING DIFFERENT
[01:20:07]
ASSUMPTIONS FOR THAT. >> THANK YOU.
>> ALSO, I WANT IT NOTED PUBLICLY THAT IF WE HAVE A COMPLETE DISASTER AND RECEIVE NO MONEY FROM THE STATE, HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE NEED TO RUN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON A MONTHLY
BASIS? >> WELL, AGAIN, AS SHARED EARLIER WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT SOME OF THE EXPENDITURES AND I
WILL GO BACK TO THIS SLIDE -- >> I SAW THAT.
BUT I WANT TO SHOW THAT WE -- THAT THAT PERCENTAGE, THE 3% WOULD NOT EVEN RUN THE DISTRICT FOR ONE MONTH.
>> CORRECT. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REVENUE OVER EXPENDITURES AND YOU LOOK AT THE ENDING FUND BALANCE SAY IN 22/23, YOU WERE TO END WITH ENDING WITH A BALANCE OF CLOSE TO 70 MILLION AND YOU HAVE YOUR EXPENDITURES, THAT'S 36% OF EXPENDITURES. SO IT WOULD TAKE YOU A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF A FISCAL YEAR IN TERMS OF ALL OF THAT IF YOU WERE TO GET ABSOLUTELY NO APPORTION PHEPBTS AND NO REVENUE -- UH POSSIBLER MEANT -- APPORTIONMENTS.
>> SEPARATIONS ARE ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 12 MILLION.
>> THANK YOU. >> AND THESE ARE ASSUMPTIONS.
>> CORRECT. >> IT IS GUESSWORK.
THESE ARE NOT TANGIBLES AT THIS TIME, CORRECT?
>> WELL. WELL, THAT'S WHY A BUDGET IS FLUID. IT IS THE KNOWN INFORMATION AT THE TIME OF THE PRESENTED INFORMATION AND THESE WILL CHANGE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE GOVERNOR HIMSELF HAS NOT FINALIZED THE BUDGET.
>> AND BOTH OF YOU ARE CORRECT. IT IS BACKED AT THIS TIME BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST INFORMATION WE HAVE, BUT THERE COULD BE CHANGES MADE EITHER IN OUR FAVOR ORGANS SCHOOL -- OR AGAINST SCHOOL DISTRICTS LOWERING FUNDING.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW IT COMES OUT IN THE WASH.
THAT'S WHY WE GIVE YOU THE WORST CASE SCENARIO SO IF YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ELSE FALLS THROUGH AND IF OUR CARRIER GOES AWAY AND WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING THREE YEARS OUT.
IF YOU REMEMBER WE MADE -- WE ALWAYS SAID WHEN WE ARE PLANNING WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO BE CUTTING THINGS IMMEDIATELY.
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM TIME TO SEE AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE SHOWING YOU THIS INFORMATION THREE YEARS OUT.
AND WE COULD NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES BECAUSE WE DON'T DO A LAYOFF OR MITIGATE, THEN WE WOULD MAKE OUR THREE-YEAR OUT
RESERVE. >> WHEN IS THE PROTECTED BUDGET COMING OUT? I HEARD AN UPDATE, BUT DIDN'T REMEMBER, FOR THE GOVERNOR? HE IS SIGNING THE BUDGET WHEN?
>> YEAH. >> QUICK QUESTION -- WELL, A QUESTION ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS, THE LAST BULLET POINT. THE FORECAST STATES THE RECESSION IS COMING. DO WE KNOW AROUND -- I MEAN, IT IS A FORECAST AND WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY.
BUT DO WE KNOW AROUND WHEN THAT WOULD BE AND HOW IT WOULD IMPACT
US? >> WELL, ANY TIME THERE IS A RECESSION, IT IS GOING TO IMPACT SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT OUR FUNDING COMES FROM THE STATE.
ANY TIME THERE IS CUTS TO THE STATE BUDGET, MOST LIKELY IT IS GOING TO BE CUTS TO SCHOOL. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR AWHILE AND THEY DID SAY THAT WITH COVID AND IT KIND OF WENT THE OPPOSITE WITH ONE-TIME AND THAT'S WHY THERE IS A LOT OF INSTABILITY IN KNOWING. SO TO GIVE UH STRAIGHT ANSWER -- SO TO GIVE UH STRAIGHT ANSWER, YOU HEAR TWO YEARS, YOU HEAR THREE. IT DEPENDS ON THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE AS WELL AS OTHER AGENCIES OUT THERE CONTINUING TO SAY PROTECT YOUR RESERVES AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE HEALTHY RESERVES TO BE ABLE TO WEATHER THE STORM.
>> SO THAT WOULD TAKE US OUT TO YOU SAID -- I AM NOT HOLDING YOU TO THIS, BUT YOU SAID TWO TO THREE YEARS AND THAT WOULD TAKE
US OUT TO MAYBE 25, 26. >> WELL, RIGHT NOW BASED ON THE MULTI-YEAR PRO -- PROJECTIONS AND WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WE WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME STABLIZATION TO GET TO THAT YEAR, JUST BASED ON WHAT WE CURRENTLY KNOW RIGHT NOW.
>> WHICH MEANS WE HAVE TO START DOING THAT STABLIZATION NOW.
>> CORRECT. >> ALTHOUGH SOME ECONOMISTS SAY
