I'M PROUD T SERVE ON THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS STUDENT ADVISOR BOARD. THUS, AS EARLY AS MARCH, MY FRIEND AND PREVIOUS STUDENT BOARD MEMBER CHRIS MENDOZA INVITED ME TO THE DISCUSSION OF STUDENT VOICE ON THE DISTRICT LEVEL. THROUGH SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH PRINCIPALS DR. JOHNNY AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE DISTRICT, CHRIS AND I HAVE PUSHED FOR MONTHS THE NEED TO PROTECT THAT INVOICE AS IT MEAN TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES, WHETHER IT BE BY ADDING STUDENT CABINETS TO THE OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICTS OR FURTHER OUTLINING AND CLARIFYIN THE POSITION OF THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. I'M SO PROUD OF WHAT CHRIS HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PAST YEAR, DESPITE BEING THE FIRST STUDENT BOARD MEMBER AND NOT KNOWING WHAT THEIR ROLE SHOULD LOOK LIKE. I CAME FORWARD TODAY AS A HOPEFUL STUDENT CONCERNED ABOU THE FUTURE OF STUDENT VOICE. BY THIS TIME LAST YEAR, WE HAD ALREADY HELD ELECTIONS FOR THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBER. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE CHRIS AND I FIRST PROPOSED WAYS TO CLARIFY THE POSITION AND STRENGTHEN STUDENT VOICE THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

DRAWDY . >> AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE MRS. CARTER TO PRESENT THE EL CAP , AND I'M SURE YOU WILL HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AFTERWARDS. THANK YOU

. >> THANK YOU. TONIGHT, I WILL BE PROVIDING A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING AND REFINING THE DISTRICTS LOCA CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN, OR AS NOTED ON THIS, THE LCAP. THIS IS A THREE-YEAR PLAN DELINEATING HOW THE DISTRICT WILL SUPPORT STUDENT IMPROVEMENT . THE SCHOOL SITES FOLLOW A SIMILAR PROCESS, HOWEVER THEY ARE BASED ON A ONE YEAR CYCLE. TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE LCAP PROCESS, I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH HISTORY REGARDING HOW THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WRITING AND LCAP CAME TO BE THE TRENTON WAS DEVELOPED DUE TO A CHANGE IN FUNDING WAS IN 2013, THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING REPLACED K-12 FINANCE SYSTEMS WHICH HAD BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM PROVIDED CATEGORICAL FUNDING MEANING THAT THE FUNDIN WAS LIMITED TO ALLOWABLE EXPENSES. THE NEW SYSTEM PROVIDED DISTRICTS MORE LOCAL CONTROL OVER HOW FUNDS COULD BE SPENT. DUE TO THIS FLEXIBILITY THE STATE INSTITUTED AN ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM REQUIRIN DISTRICTS TO WRITE A PLAN FOR HOW THE FUNDING WOULD BE USED. ALONG WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR DISTRICTS TO DEVELOP A PLAN, TH STATE DEVELOPED THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD AS PART OF THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM. ON THE DASHBOARD DISTRICT AND SCHOOL DATA IS POSTED IN THE PUBLIC AND DATA IS USED BY THE STATE TO DETERMINE WHETHER DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS ARE IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE FROM THE COUNTY IN ORDER TO MAKE PROGRESS. THE NEW FUNDING SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY THE LCF ATHLON PROVIDES DISTRICTS WITH BASE FUNDING FOR BASIC EDUCATIONAL COSTS SUCH AS TEACHER SALARIES, TEXTBOOKS AND FACILITIES. THE FUNDING USES A FORMULA BASED ON GRADE SPAN AN ENROLLMENT TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY A DISTRICT RECEIVES. ADDITIONAL OR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING IS GIVEN TO DISTRICTS BASED ON THE UNDUPLICATED STUDENT COUNT AND RULED IN IT IS. UNDUPLICATED STUDENT COUNT MEANS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ENGLISH LEARNERS, LOW INCOME, FOSTER YOUTH STUDENTS THAT ARE ENROLLED IN THIS DISTRICT . THE STUDENTS MIGHT B DULY IDENTIFIED IN THESE GROUPS , BUT THEY ARE ONLY COUNTED ONC AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE CALLED UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS. FOR DISTRICTS WITH A PERCENTAGE OF UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS HIGHER THAN 55% , THEY WILL RECEIVE CONCENTRATION FUNDING. UNIFIED RECEIVES ALL OF THESE FUNDING SOURCES AS IT PERCENTAGE OF UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS IS 70.93%. THE PLAN THAT DISTRICT ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE MUST INCLUDE THE EIGHT STATE PRIORITIES LISTED ON THE SLIDE INCLUDING BASIC SERVICES SUCH A TEXTBOOKS, FACILITIES, AND

[00:15:01]

ONCE THE PLAN IS DEVELOPED, THE GOAL OF THE FOLLOWING YEARS ARE TO CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN. TO SUPPORT THIS, DR. DRAWDY HAS BEGUN A LISTENING TOUR TO CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOU THEIR ASPIRATIONS FOR THE DISTRICT AND TO PRIORITIZE IMPROVEMENT AREAS AND OPPORTUNITIES. USING THE INFORMATION HE GATHERS FROM EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS, YOU WILL BE DEVELOPING A FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH WILL HELP IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEXT THREE-YEAR LCAP FOR THE 2024-2027 SCHOOL YEAR.

>> THANK YOU. I WANTED MRS. CARTER TO GO TO THIS SLIDE HER SO THE COMMUNITY AND BOARD UNDERSTANDS WHAT WILL HAPPEN I THE NEXT YEAR. THERE ARE TWO THINGS HAPPENING, WE ARE COMPLETING THE PREVIOUS LCAP PLAN . THAT IS THE FINAL YEAR OF THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS. AT THE SAME TIME STARTING, STARTIN IN AUGUST, WE WILL START WITH PROCESSING THE NEXT THREE-YEAR PLAN. I WANT TO TRY TO TAKE THIS A STEP FURTHER AS A PROMISE I WANT TO DO A PLAN WITH THE DISTRICT AND I NEED THOSE TWO PROCESSES TO WORK. A SOON AS WE PUBLISH THE PLAN , AFTER DOING THE COMMUNITY TOUR, THAT WILL BE INCORPORATED IN TH NEXT LCAP PROCESS. WITHIN THA AS MS. CARTER MENTIONED , AFTER THE THREE-YEAR PLAN IS DEVELOPE , THEN THE PROCESSES ARE WORKING. THAT IS THE LAST THRE YEARS WITH THE LCAP. I WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE SO THEY ARE TWO PROCESS WORKING PARALLEL MERGING AND LCAP BECOMES OUR EXECUTION WITH THE STRATEGIC

PLAN. >> THINK YOU MIGHT. AS OUR PRIORITY TONIGHT IS TO FOCUS ON THE EDUCATIONAL PARTNER FEEDBAC WITH REGARD TO THE CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LCAP AND UPDATES TO THE PLAN FOR THE FINAL YEAR. THE FOLLOWING SLIDE WILL PROVIDE THE STRUCTURE OF THE LCAP, HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DATA, EDUCATIONAL PARTNER FEEDBACK AND UPDATES MADE BASE ON THIS INFORMATION. WHEN THE CURRENT PLAN WAS DEVELOPED, THE DISTRICT CONTRACTED WITH MARS O RESEARCH TO UTILIZE THE HIGH RELIABILITY SCHOOLS FRAMEWORK. THIS WAS TO SUPPORT INITIATIVE ALIGNMENT AND DATA-DRIVEN IMPROVEMENT. THE FRAMEWORK INCLUDES FIVE INCREASING LIES -INCLUDING SAFE, SUPPORTIVE AND COLLABORATIVE CULTURES, EFFECTIVE TEACHING STRATEGIES IN EVERY CLASSROOM AND GUARANTEED AND VIABLE CURRICULU WHICH ARE THE BASE LEVEL OF THESE FIVE LEVELS, WHICH WILL INSTITUTE STUDENTS SUCCESS. THE LCAP IS DRIVEN BY OUR MISSION STATEMENT OF BUILDING FUTURES AND OUR CORE VALUES OF EQUITY, ACHIEVEMENT AND COMMUNITY. THAT IS FROM WHICH DECISIONS ARE MADE. RECENTLY DR DRAWDY SHARED HIS ACTION FOR IMPROVEMENT WHICH IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR LCAP AND WIL HELP TO BUILD OUR NEW LCAP. THIS GRAPHIC PROVIDES A PICTURE OF HOW THE GOALS, COURSE VALUES AND STATE PRIORITIES AND RELIABLE SCHOOL FRAMEWORK IS ORGANIZED IN THE LCAP. THIS GIVES YOU A STRUCTURE OF WHAT THE LCAP IS BROKEN INTO , THREE GOALS. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN SEE THE FIRST GOAL OF THE LCAP IS AN EXTENSION OF OUR COR VALUE OF EQUITY. IT INCLUDES GOALS, DATA AND ACTIONS MEETIN THE STATE PRIORITIES OF BASIC SERVICES , STUDENT ENGAGEMENT , AND FULL CLIMATE . THAT SUPPORT THE HRS OR HIGH RELIABILITY SCHOOLS FRAMEWORK OF SAVE SUPPORTIVE COLLABORATIVE CULTURES. THE OTHER TWO GOALS IN THE LCAP ARE CONNECTED TO OU CORE VALUES OF ACHIEVEMENT AND COMMUNITY. EACH GOAL OF THE LCAP HAS A LIST OF METRICS THAT ARE MONITORED ANNUALLY TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE ACTIONS

[00:20:01]

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RECEIVED THESE AREAS OF NEEDED IMPROVEMENT INCLUDING IMPROVING THE PERCEN OF STUDENTS CHRONICALLY ABSENT AND ALTHOUGH OUR SUSPENSION RAT MAINTAINED, THERE IS DISPROPORTIONALITY BETWEEN THE RATE OF SUSPENSION FOR ALL STUDENTS AND THAT OF OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN BLACK STUDENTS STUDENTS IN FOSTER CARE, PACIFI ISLANDER AND AND HOUSED STUDENTS. SCHOOL SITES HAVE RECEIVED THEIR OWN DATA WITH SUSPENSION AND HAVE BEEN CHARGE WITH IDENTIFYING THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS DISPROPORTIONALITY. AREAS IMPLEMENTED TO SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS AND CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM AND DOES PERSONALIT INCLUDE ACTION SIX, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION O ARIES INTERVENTION SCREEN IMPROVEMENT TO DOCUMENT INTERVENTIONS, PROVIDED TO STUDENTS WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN ADDED LAYER OF ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS. ACTION EIGHT ALLOWS FOR CONTINUING TO INCREASE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT THROUG THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INSTRUCTION, RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS AND ACTION 11 ALLOWS FOR INCREASING SUPPORT TO OUR DUPLICATED POPULATION IN THE A BLOCK SCHEDULE TO RECEIVE INTERVENTION AND CREDIT RECOVER . ON THIS LINE, GOAL TWO SHOWS SUCCESS IN THE OVERALL GRADUATION RATE WHERE WE ARE NOW APPROACHING THE RATE AT WHICH WE WERE PRIOR TO COVID-19 , WHICH WAS 93%. WE HAD A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE PERCEN OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS GRADUATING MEETING THE CSU REQUIREMENTS AND THE AVERAGE PERFORMANCE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE STATE ASSESSMENT. IN THE AREA OF ACADEMICS, WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON ELA, MATH, FOUNDATIONAL ADDRESSEE SKILLS AND CLASSIFICATION RATES AS WE HAVE NOT YET REBOUNDED TO WHERE WE WERE PRIOR TO COVID-19. TO SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENT AN RECLASSIFICATION, ACTION SIX ALLOWS TK THROUGH SECOND GRADE TEACHERS TO RECEIVE PROFESSIONA DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND FOUNDATIONAL WORK-STUDY INCLUDING COACHING AND TEACHING ACTION AND INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN FOR INTRODUCING AND PROVIDING STUDENT GROUPS COLLEGE AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND EXTENDING THE HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING PROCESS TO HELP STUDENTS AND PARENTS BE MORE AWARE OF OPPORTUNITIES. ACTION 10 ALLOWS FOR TEACHERS TO STRATEGICALLY PLAN DURING THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES PROCESS SUPPORTS FO STUDENTS STRUGGLING TO MEET THE STANDARDS FOR INCORPORATION OF TEACHING STRATEGIES, SUCH AS LANGUAGE AND CONTENT OBJECTIVES, SCAFFOLDS, AND ACTION 13 SUPPORTS TEACHERS ON SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT PROVIDING SUPPORTS AND LESSON DESIGN, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND MONITORING IMPROVEMENT. FOR GOAL THREE, PARENT ENGAGEMENT SUCCESSES INCLUDE INCREASING OU BUSD FACEBOOK FOLLOWERS AND OU BUSD DISTRIBUTION TO THE PUBLIC AND TO OUR STUDENTS. ALSO INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF MEETING AND INFORMATION PROVIDED TO OUR STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WHICH IN TURN, PROVIDED OUR STUDENTS OUR PLATFORM TO INCREASE THEIR VOICE. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NOT AREAS OF IDENTIFY NEED LISTED ON THIS SLIDE AS W ARE MEETING OUR GOALS IN THIS AREA, WE ARE AWARE THAT OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE NEEDS TO BE UPDATED, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE REACHING OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOR FEEDBACK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT THROUGH A SURVEY AND WE AR LOOKING TO MAKE IT MORE USER-FRIENDLY. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW PLATFORM FOR COMMUNICATING OUT WITH PARENTS THAT IS MORE ROBUST AND USER-FRIENDLY THAT IS OUR CURRENT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.

THAT SLIDE GIVES YOU THE SUCCESSES AND IDENTIFIED NEEDS, BUT IT RELATES TO WHAT IS ALREADY IN OUR LCAP, THE ACTION THAT WILL SUPPORT THOSE. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LCAP PROCESS ISN'T STATIC, IT IS DYNAMIC AND CONTINUOUS. AS A DISTRICT WITH EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS, WE REVIEW THE LCAP . AS A COLLECTIVE, WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR MISSION VISION GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS T IDENTIFY NEEDS. THAT IS WHAT W HAVE GONE THROUGH SO FAR. BASE

[00:25:01]

IS PROGRESSING. >> JUST TO ADD TO THESE CASES, I HEARD THE STATEMENT I SAID EARLIER ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS WORKS. WE ARE FINALIZING THE FINAL YEAR. MY APOLOGIES FOR REPEATING , BUT WE ARE FINALIZING THE LAST THREE YEARS OF LCAP IN 2024. THROUGH NEXT YEAR, WE WILL PROCESS THE NEXT THREE-YEAR PLAN WHICH WILL TIE INTO THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND WE CAN GET THE CYCLE OF IMPROVEMEN TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT AND EVALUATING WHAT IS WORKING AND WHAT IS NOT WITH DATA-DRIVEN

DECISIONS. >> THANK YOU. BASED ON THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE PREVIOU SLIDES AND THE ONSET OF THE MOR ROBUST CONTINUOUS CYCLE OF IMPROVEMENT THAT DR. DRAWDY SPOKE OF, THE REVISIONS TO THE CURRENT LCAP INCLUDES THE DISTRICTS PRIORITIES LISTED ON THE SLIDE . HOWEVER, IN AN EFFORT TO FOCUS OUR ATTENTION FOR THE YEAR, THREE AREAS OF STRATEGIC FOCUS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND WILL BE LEADING THE DISTRICT IN SIGHT WITH NEXT YEAR. THE PRIORITY AREAS ARE BASED ON CORE AREAS OF EQUITY, ACHIEVEMENT AND COMMUNITY AND INCLUDE AN OVERALL FOCUS OF IMPROVED ENGAGEMENT. WE WILL B FOCUSING ON DECREASING SUSPENSION RATE FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND BLACK STUDENTS, PACIFIC ISLANDER FOSTER YOUTH, AND AND HOUSED STUDENTS AND PROVING OUR ENGLIS TO MATH FOR OUR FOSTER CARE, AND HOUSED STUDENTS AND STUDENT WITH DISABILITY. TO IMPROVE LITERACY AND MATH, WE WILL BE UTILIZING AND IMPROVING OUR IMPLEMENTATION OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES WHEREAS TEACHERS WILL BE ANALYZING DATA AND IMPROVING THEIR TEACHING PRACTICES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS. FINALLY, WE WILL BE FOCUSING ON INCREASED PARENT ENGAGEMENT WITH AN IMPROVED WEBSITE EXPERIENCE AND ENGAGEMENT FOR STUDENTS THROUGH PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR RELEVANT ENGAGING INSTRUCTION WITH A COLLEGE AND CAREER FOCUS ALTHOUGH THE LCAP DOESN'T CHANGE MUCH IN THE THIRD YEAR O THE IMPLEMENTATION, DEVELOPING FOCUS PRIORITY AREAS WILL HELP TO PINPOINT WHAT WE BELIEVE WILL SUPPORT STUDENT ACHIEVEMEN AND OUTCOMES. AS WE GO THROUGH THE LCAP REVIEW PROCESS, WE CONSULT WITH EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS WITH COMMUNITY, BARGAINING UNITS, PARENTS, STUDENTS AND STAFF AND PUT FRO THESE EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS ARE COLLECTED DURING PARENT ADVISOR DISTRICT ENGLISH LEARNER ADVISORY, STUDENT ADVISORY, DISTRICT GROUP ADMINISTRATIVE MEETINGS AND THROUGH THE ANNUAL LCAP SURVEY. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE THIRD COLUMN OF THIS PROCESS TONIGHT . WE ARE PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT. AT OUR FINAL ADVISORY MEETING IN MAY, WE PROVIDED A DRAFT OF THIS LCAP T OUR PAC AND DLAG MEMBERS. WE MADE SOME REVISIONS AND POSTED REVISED VERSION OF OUR LCAP ON OUR DISTRICT WEBSITE THROUGH OU BUSD NEWS FOR THE PUBLIC TO REVIEW AND PROVIDE COMMENTS. W SENT A DRAFT TO THE COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION ULTIMATELY APPROVING THE LCAP , FOR FEEDBACK AND HAVE MADE SOME REVISIONS BASED ON THE REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION, WHICH HAS BEEN INCLUDING IN THE VERSION O THE LCAP BEFORE YOU AND POSTED FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING. WE AR STILL AWAITING FEEDBACK ON THE VERSION OF THE LCAP THAT WAS RESUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY AND ARE COLLECTING THE FEEDBACK RECEIVED TONIGHT OF WHICH WE WILL REVIEW AND DETERMINE WHETHER FURTHER REVISIONS ARE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE AT OUR NEX MEETING WHERE THE LCAP WILL BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA. I WILL REVIEW THE ADOPTION PROCESS IN MORE DETAIL IN ANOTHER

[00:30:03]

THE FOLLOWING SLIDES WILL SUMMARIZE THE INFORMATION THAT WERE PROVIDED AND THE REVISIONS MADE TO THE LCAP BASED ON THE FEEDBACK. WHEN WE MET WITH OUR EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS, WE ASKED THEM TO PRIORITIZE WITHIN THE PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON ACTIONS THA MIGHT HELP TO IMPROVE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND OUTCOMES. YOU WILL NOTICE ON THE END OF EACH OF THESE PRIORITIES, I'M LOOKIN AT THE LEFT COLUMN , THAT AN ABBREVIATION OF THE ADVISORY GROUP THAT PRIORITIZED THE AREA IS NOTED. WHEN YOU SEE DAG, THAT IS DISTRICT ADVISORY GROUP AND DELAC IS A DISTRICT ENGLIS LEARNING COMMITTEE AND SAC IS THE STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

FOR GOAL ONE, OR EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS PRIORITIZE MAINTAININ SAFE CAMPUSES INCLUDING INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORTATION, TECHNOLOGY AND SPECIAL EDUCATIO STAFFING.

OTHERS INCLUDED ACTION SEVEN, STRATEGICALLY DESIGNING TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO BE INFUSED INTO TRAININGS FOR ALL SUBJECTS , AS THE TRAINING THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED HAS BEEN MORE OF A FOCUS ON HOW TO USE THE SOFTWAR WE PUT IN PLACE FOR COVID-19 FOR DISTANCE LEARNING, HYBRID AND THE RETURN TO IN PERSON LEARNING. NOW, WE ARE BRANCHIN INTO ALL SUBJECTS AND HOW THAT CAN BE INFUSED IN THE DAILY PRACTICE. THERE WILL BE ELEMENT OF GROWTH MINDSET STRATEGIES INCORPORATED IN OUR TRAININGS FOR NEXT YEAR AND ACTION 11 INCLUDES EQUITABLE ACCESS TO INTERVENTION AND INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES SPECIFIC TO ENGLISH LEARNERS AND THE A BLOCK DAY.

FINALLY, WE WILL MAINTAIN THE CURRENT MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS.

BASED ON OUR PRIORITY FOCUS AREAS SHARED, THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED EFFORT TO HAVE ATTENDANCE TO THE IMPLEMENTATIO OF DISCIPLINE AND INCLUSIVE PRACTICES, SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND ACTION NINE EXTENSION OF THE COMMUNITY INITIATIVE. FOR GOAL TWO, OR EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS PRIORITIZE INCREASING SUPPORT FOR IDENTIFIED STUDENT GROUPS DURING AN AFTER SCHOOL, PROVIDING 21ST CENTURY LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WITH AN INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES INCLUDING RELEVANT AND RELATABLE CURRICULUM THAT CONNECTS WITH STUDENTS.

ACTION SIX, FOCUSING O GOOD INSTRUCTION IN TIER 2 SUPPORTS PRINCIPALLY DIRECTED T THE STUDENTS SUPPORTING THEM WITH INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES LIKE THINKING MAPS THAT WOULD INCREASE THEIR COMPREHENSION, WRITING, COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION , AND WITH DESIGN AND ADDITIONAL INTERVENTION OPPORTUNITIES. ABSENT NINE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT OUR COLLEG PARTNERSHIPS, STEM OPPORTUNITIE AT SECONDARY AND ELEMENTARY SITES AND ACCESS TO COLLEGE COURSES THROUGH DUAL EMPLOYMENT AND AVID IMPLEMENTATION. SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL BE LOOKIN INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF PROVIDING ASL CLASSES AND MORE COLLEGE CAREER CENTERED TIME. AS FAR AS CTE OPPORTUNITIES,

[00:35:03]

MARKETING SALES AND SERVICES WERE ADDED TO MAYFAIR COURSE OPTIONS. FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR, WE WILL BE MONITORING OUR STUDENT ENROLLMENTS AS THEY WILL BE IN THE EIGHT BLOCK DAY TO DETERMINE IF WE NEED TO ADD NEW PATHWAYS. A NEW PATHWAY WIL BE ADDED TO BELLFLOWER. THE AVIATION PATHWAY WHICH WILL STUDY DRONE FLIGHT AND PRIVATE PILOT EDUCATION AND WILL LOOK FOR PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE STUDENTS THAT MIGHT WANT A THREE-YEAR CT OPTION , THAT WOULD INCLUDE A CAPSTONE COURS OPTION. THE CAPSTONE COURSE WIL PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD SKILLS AND EXPORT OPTIONS IN PREPARATION FOR GRADUATION INTERNSHIPS. A AVID IS GROWING AT BELLFLOWER, IT IS A PLAN TO CONTINUE OUR EXPANSION TO OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS FOR THAT PROGRAM AND OU DUAL IMMERSION PROGRAM FOR 23-24 WILL HAVE THE ADDITION OF A TK CLASSROOM AT THE ILC.

EDUCATIONAL PARTNER PRIORITIES FOR GOAL THREE INCLUDE ENGAGING EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS IN CONVERSATION REGARDING HOW TO SUPPORT STUDENTS TO BE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS IN HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, CAREERS AND CITIZENSHI AND TO PROVIDE PARENTS AND STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN TOGETHER WHICH ALLOWS FOR A DEEPER CONNECTION AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN PARENTS AND STUDENTS. REVISIONS TO THE LCAP IN ALL THREE INCLUDE ACTION TWO INCREASING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENT WORKSHOPS INCLUDING IN THE AREAS OF MENTAL HEALTH AND STEAM . SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES B IMPLEMENTED TO IMPROVE ENGAGEMENT INCLUDE THE PRESCHOO IMPLEMENTING LEARNING GD TO PROVIDE A TWO WAY COMMUNICATION ALLOWING PARENTS TO SIGN IN AND OUT DIGITALLY OF THE PROGRESS DAILY. THE DISTRICT IS LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF UPGRADING THE DISTRICT SITE WEBSITE AS I MENTIONED BEFORE AND IMPROVED AFFECTIVE TWO WAY COMMUNICATION IN PLACE OF OUR CURRENT DISTRICT HAPPENED AND T HELP WITH AWARENESS WITH CTE, MISS AZEVEDO IS WORKING ON B ROLL CLASSROOM, STUDENT INTERVIEWS, STAFF INTERVIEWS OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE FOR CTE AND THOSE RECORDINGS WILL ASSIST STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND CTE PROGRAMS AND THAT WILL BE ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL. AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, TONIGHT PUBLIC HEARING IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE MORE FEEDBACK REGARDING POSSIBLE REVISIONS TO THE LCAP. IF REVISIONS ARE MADE HASTE ON TH FEEDBACK, THEY WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE JUNE 15 VERSION OF THE LCAP . ON JUNE 15TH, THE BOARD APPROVED OUTCOME WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY OFFICE WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF THE BOARD MEETING FOR FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE COUNTY. I WILL GO THROUGH THESE DATES THAT ARE UP HERE AND I'M GIVING YOU A BACKGROUND OF HOW THE APPROVAL PROCESS HAPPENS BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT SOMETIMES WE THINK ONCE OUR LCAP IS APPROVED ON JUNE 15TH THAT THAT IS DONE AND IT IS NOT THERE ARE MORE STEPS THAT COUL HAPPEN AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT CAN BE ALL THE WAY UNTIL OCTOBER 8TH OF WHETHE THE LCAP IS APPROVED. IF ANY CLARIFICATION IS NEEDED ONCE W PROVIDE THAT TO THE L.A. COUNTY FIVE DAYS AFTER JUNE 15TH AT THE MEETING WHERE WE WILL HOPEFULLY APPROVE THE LCAP, THE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEND US LETTER BY AUGUST 15TH REQUESTING FURTHER CLARIFICATION. THE DISTRICT WIL HAVE 15 DAYS TO RESPOND IN WRITING TO THE REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION. THE COUNTY WILL HAVE 15 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE LETTER TO RESPOND WHERE THEY MAY APPROVE THE LCAP OR REQUEST RECOMMENDATIONS IN WRITING. IF THEY ARE REQUESTIN THEM IN WRITING, AND WITHIN 15 DAYS OF RECEIVING THE RECOMMENDATIONS, WE WOULD NEED TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE TRACY MCSPARREN AND LCAP I MY OCTOBER 8TH, THE RECOMMENDE APPROVAL DATE IS SEPTEMBER 15TH TO COINCIDE WITH THE BUDGET APPROVAL DEADLINES. IF THE DISTRICT 1010 IS NOT APPROVED B

[00:40:02]

WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS. WE DID MAKE SOME REVISIONS AS I MENTIONED EARLIE AND WE ARE WAITING FOR THEM TO RETURN AND LET US KNOW IF THE CHANGES WE MADE WERE SUFFICIENT OR NOT . OUR IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS ARE TO REVIEW ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR INPUT PROVIDED BY YOURSELVES AND THE EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS TODAY IN THE COUNTY AN DETERMINE IF ANY CHANGES TO THE PLANNED NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE JUNE 15TH.

>> I THINK THIS TIME, MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT MRS. CARTER I TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF APPROVAL WITH THE LCAP , IN A MONTH, WE ARE HOLDING TO THE RULES OF HOW WE SPEND THOSE CONCENTRATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS. PEOPLE GET FRUSTRATED LIKE WHY CAN'T WE GET THIS OR WHY CAN'T YOU USE THE MONEY FOR THAT? WHY ISN'T THE SCHOOL GETTING THIS MUCH VERSUS THAT? REMEMBER IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS, MRS. CARTER TALKED ABOUT THE RULES ESTABLISHED WHEN THE LCAP PROCESS STARTED, WHICH WAS TO TAKE FUNDS AND PROVIDE MOR FLEXIBILITY FOR THE DISTRICT T MAKE DECISIONS ON HOW TO USE THOSE FUNDS , BUT THEY ESTABLIS RULES ON HOW TO USE THE FUNDS. THAT IS A HARD THING FOR A UNTRAINED PERSON TO UNDERSTAND. I SAY THIS BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THE DISTRICT WILL SAY NO TO CERTAIN THINGS. I WANT YOU T UNDERSTAND IF WE DON'T STICK TO THIS, THEY WILL NOT APPROVE THE LCAP. WE ALL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER ON THIS. THERE ARE CREATIVE WAYS YOU CAN UTILIZE THE CONCENTRATION WITH MENTAL FUNDS, BUT IT HAS TO BE FOR TH PURPOSES AND THAT IS WHAT LEGAL IS LOOKING FOR. IT IS NOT THAT WE ARE SAYING NO TO CERTAIN THINGS HERE AND THERE, IF WE DON'T, WE COULD HURT OURSELVES IF WE DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES. I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT OUT

THERE. >> THANK YOU. THAT'S THE END OF

THE PRESENTATION. >> A VERY EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> YES, I HAVE A QUESTION . I HAVE TO TRY TO FIND IT. I'M SORRY. IT WAS THE DATA IN REGARDS TO THE REASON , WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF GOLD 11 , GOAL ONE WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT ABSENTEEISM, SUSPENSION RATE , AND YOU SAID YOU HAD IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE, BUT I DIDN'T SEE IT.

>> EXCUSE ME, PRESIDENT GARZA , SINCE THESE TWO ITEMS , THERE I A PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON THEM, THE BOARD DISCUSSIONS SHOULD TAKE PLACE AFTER THE PUBLIC HAS SPOKEN TO THE PUBLIC HEARING. I WE CAN RESERVE THOSE BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED, THEN

WE CAN TAKE THOSE. >> THANK YOU .

[7. PUBLIC HEARINGS]

>> AT THIS TIME , DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CONDUCT THE PUBLIC

HEARING? >> I MOTION.

>> I SECOND. >> ANY MEMBERS THAT WISH TO

ADDRESS THIS? >> I BELIEVE WE NEED TO DO THE SECOND PRESENTATION FIRST, CORRECT?

>> YOU CAN HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AND DO TH SECOND AFTER YOU CAN DO THEM TOGETHER. THAT'S UP TO THE

BOARDS. >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING NOW SO IT IS NOT AS CONFUSING? WE WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING NOW. THANK YOU.

>> SORRY ABOUT THAT. >> I WILL PICK UP WHERE WE HAD THE FIRST MOTION BY MEMBER STUART, SECOND BY MEMBER DR.

[00:45:03]

SUE ELHESSEN . >> SORRY TO INTERRUPT. BE ENCLOSED FIRST AND THE BOARD DISCUSSION. .

>> THANK YOU. ROLL CALL. MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC

HEARING. >> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND. >> MS. ARMSTRONG?

>>

>> THANK YOU AGAIN, BOARD PRESIDENT GARZA. I'M REFERENCIN BACK TO WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IDENTIFIED NEED AND WHAT WERE

THE CAUSES. >> I THINK WE ARE TALKING ABOU IS THE IDENTIFIED NEED OF OUR DISPROPORTIONALITY AND OUR SUSPENSION RATE . WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS IMPLEMENTING THE INTERVENTION SCREEN AND OUR SITES LOOKING A SPECIFICALLY TO THEIR SITES, WHAT THE ROOT CAUSES ARE AND WE WILL IDENTIFY THOSE THREE IMPLEMENTATIONS AND WE CAN PUT

THINGS INTO PLACE NEXT YEAR. >> JUST TO EXPAND ON THAT, THE LOGIC BEHIND , THE SUSPENSIONS ARE SUSPENDED AND THE ROOT CAUSE MRS. CARTER IS TALKING ABOUT ASKING STAFF TO DO IS PROVIDE INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THE ACTIVITY TOOK PLACE. AT SOME POINT , WE CAN DRAW UPON THAT AND DISCOVER THAT SO WE CAN INTERVENE.

>> MY CONCERN IS THE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM WHICH WAS STATED I THE REPORT . I KNOW A LOT HAS TO DO WITH COVID-19 AND THE DISTANT LEARNING PROCESS, BUT I'M CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT COMES UP NOW. THE KIDS ARE BAC IN SCHOOL.

>> THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS I TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS IS PREVIOUS DATA AS WELL. THE 30% IS ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE STATE IS EXPERIENCING THIS AND THE STAR WITH QUARANTINE AS WELL. WE DEALT WITH THAT STATE WHERE STUDENTS WERE NOT ABLE TO COME TO SCHOOL AND WE ARE IN THE NE STATE OF TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE ARE RE-ENGAGING BACK INTO SCHOOL. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE CHANGES THAT MIGH

OCCUR. >> THANK YOU.

>> BOARD MEMBER STUART. >> FIRST OFF, THANK YOU MIKE FO YOUR PRESENTATION. LCAP CAN BE DIFFICULT SOMETIMES AND YOU MAK IT SOUND EASY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I HAD A COMMODORE CONCERN ON GOAL THREE, AND ENGAGEMENT, JUST LOOKING AT THE DYNAMICS, UNIFIED 65% HISPANIC AND 47% SOCIOECONOMICAL DISADVANTAGE, WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS PUT INT PLAY IF POSSIBLE IN THE LCAP.

HAVE WATCHED ALL OF OUR MEETING TO SEE IF I MISSED ANYTHING, IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ. I CANNOT READ WHAT THE CAPTIONS ARE, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE SPANISH OR ENGLISH BUT I FEEL LIKE IF W HAVE TRANSLATION WITH EVERYTHIN WE DO, WE WOULD GET MY PARENT ENGAGEMENT. THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION I HAVE.

>> CAN I CLARIFY? BECAUSE I THINK I UNDERSTOOD YOU MORE, YO ARE SAYING TRANSLATION FOR THE BOARD MEETINGS AND SUBTITLES

COMING UP. >> CORRECT, AND MINUTES AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES OUT TO OUR PARENTS WITH HIGH HISPANIC FAMILIES, I FEEL WE NEED TO SEE MORE TRANSLATION IN OUR LCAP T CREATE THAT ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR PARENTS.

>> THE BOARD MEETINGS THEMSELVE AND MINUTES, AND I APPRECIATE THE COMMENT, WE HAVE TAKEN NOTE OF THAT DEFINITELY, WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE TRANSLATED EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY CAN BECAUSE WE HAVE THE PERCENTAGE WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE D THAT SPECIFICALLY TO OUR LCAP, WE HAD A NATURE THAT WAS TRANSLATED BEFORE THAT WENT OUT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION AS WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF INVESTIGATING HOW WE CAN IMPROV OUR SYSTEM OR SYSTEMS FOR INTERPRETATION AND TRANSLATION WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRANSLATION , WE ARE LOOKING TO ADVANCE

[00:50:06]

>> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, I THINK ON THE NEXT PAGE. WE WIL GO THROUGH THESE PERCENTAGES AN GOALS AND EVERYTHING IN THE NEX

PRESENTATION. >> THE NEXT PRESENTATION WILL B STRICTLY BUDGET. I TALKED A LITTLE BIT WITH THE BUDGET AND THEY WILL DIVE INTO NUMBERS AND THOSE THINGS.

>> I WILL ASK MY QUESTION NOW AND SEE. ALL OF THE MEASURING REPORTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THE DESIRED OUTCOMES , ALL OF THESE ARE AMAZING. I FEEL LIKE SOME ARE HIGH. AND QUESTIONING HOW DO WE COME UP WITH THOSE NUMBERS? WE LOOK AT YEAR-TO-YEAR, BUT WE ARE GOING FORWARD WITH SOME OF THESE NUMBERS. HOW DO WE COME UP WITH NUMBERS?

>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION AND WE HAVE BEEN ASKED BEFORE, WHAT WE DID WAS LOOK AT TRENDS. WE WERE TRYING TO SEE OVER THE COURSE OF THREE YEARS PREVIOUS WHAT THE PERCENTAGE MIGHT BE.

KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME OF THE METRICS ARE NOWHERE AS WELL. I MIGHT HAVE NOT BEEN A EXACT TREND THERE BUT WE TRY TO PRID OURSELVES ON ACHIEVING HIGH AND MAKE THE MARK SO WE ARE HOPEFU AND WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT YEAR.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> WE ARE MAKING A HYPOTHESIS WITH ACTIONS TAKING PLACE WITH THE SITE LABOR AND ALL OF THAT.

STARTING NEXT YEAR AND YOU WIL SEE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN FORWARD, YOU WILL SEE THE ACTUAL AMOUNT, I WANT TO MAKE THAT CONVERSATION VISIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY, THAT WILL BE PAR OF THE PLAN WITH PEOPLE SEEING THE KIND OF ACTIONS WE ARE TAKING IN A PHYSICAL MANNER AN SO I'M HOPING THE COMMUNITY AND ENGAGE AND THAT THEY UNDERSTAND DIFFERENT ACTIONS W ARE TAKING. I THINK WHEN WE DO THAT , IT WILL FORCE US

INAUDIBLE ] >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS . MY QUESTION IS WHAT LCAP HAS BEEN IN PLACE ? WHO OVERSEES IT AT THAT POINT?

>> MULTIPLE PEOPLE OVERSEE IT BECAUSE OUR LCAP IS A DISTRICT LCAP, HOWEVER OUR SITES ARE PARAMOUNT IN HELPING US ACHIEV OUR GOALS. IT IS A CONCERTED EFFORT. WE HAVE DISTRICT MEMBER THAT ARE IN CHARGE OF SPECIAL ED, ACADEMICS, ASSESSMENT, BUT OUR SITES ARE THE ONES THAT AR PUTTING IN THE EFFORTS TO MAKE

SURE THAT WE MEET THE MARK. >> DOES THAT INCLUDE THE SCHOO

SITE COMMITTEES? >> WITH A COMMITTEE LEVEL, YOU HEARD THE DISTRICT LEVEL COMMITTEES SO OUR PARENT ADVISORY AND OUR DISTRICT GROUP WOULD GO BACK TO THEIR SITES AND THIS CAN GO TO THE SCHOOL SITE COUNCILS WHICH WOULD BE FEEDING THE SITES ONE YEAR PLAN THAT I TALKED TO IN THE BEGINNING. OUR SCHOOLS DO A ON YEAR PLAN. THE SCHOOL COUNSELO AND ALL OF THEIR OTHER EDUCATIONAL PLANS, BUT THAT CAN BE TIED TO THE LCAP AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THE FOCUS GOALS AN THAT IS WHY WE COMMUNICATE WITH PRINCIPAL MEETINGS AND ANALYZE DATA IN OUR PRINCIPAL MEETINGS TO MAKE SURE WE STAY ON TRACK

TOGETHER. >>

ADVISORY COMMITTEES AS WELL? >> THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO THEIR DISTRICT LEARNING ADVISORY AT THEIR SITES AS WELL. THE SCHOO SITES WOULD START IN AUGUST LIK WE DO ANALYZING DATA AND THE MORE ROBUST DATA ANALYSIS WE WILL BE DOING NEXT YEAR IS THE SITES LOOKING AT QUARTERLY THE PROGRESS THEY ARE MAKING ON THEIR SITE GOALS WHICH GOES THROUGH THE SITE COUNCIL YOU AR

TALKING ABOUT. >> THANK YOU. I'M A PARENT , HOW DO I GET INVOLVED WITH THIS OTHER THAN THE DELAC? HOW

ELSE CAN I HERE? >> I MENTIONED EARLIER LIKE

[00:55:09]

THE SITE IN THE DISTRICT. >> AND, PRINCIPLES WILL MAKE DECISIONS ON HOW THEY ADD PARENTS TO THIS.

>> OBVIOUSLY, I WILL HAVE SUGGESTIONS . WHEN WE TALK ABOU PARENT ENGAGEMENT , WE NEED TO MONITOR WHAT THAT IS. IF WE HAVE A SCHOOL WHERE PARENTS DO NOT GET ENGAGED , YOU CAN GET TWO PARENTS IN A ROOM AT THAT. YOU WANT A GROUP OF PARENTS COMING IN. IF THEY ARE STRUGGLING, WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT FOR MY PERSPECTIVE GOING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND SAY WE CANNOT DO THIS ALONE, HO CAN WE GET YOU IN THERE? ANOTHE THING THAT WILL COME AS THE ASSISTANT WE WILL BRING FOR PARENT ENGAGEMENT TRANSITIONS TO ANOTHER ONE AND THAT IS MORE CUSTOMIZED, WE INVESTIGATE A SYSTEM CREATED BY PARENTS THAT OUR DISTRICTS USE AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN BRING THIS TO YOU , BUT IF WE INCLUDE THAT SYSTEM, WE CAN ACCESS PARENTS THROUGH PHONES, CHATS, WEBSITES AND ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO COMMUNICATE INFORMATION. IT IS DIFFERENT THAN SENDING HOME TO A PARENT AND THE PROGRESS REPORTS WE GET WITH OUR ASSESSMENTS WITH THE PROGRESS REPORTS , THAT WHEN ENCOURAGED THE PARENTS TO SAY MY STUDENT IS STRUGGLING WITH THIS SKILL TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ISSUES, YOUR PRINCIPAL IS HAVING MEETINGS, PLEASE TALK SO YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHAT THE SITE IS DOING. THERE IS A LOT TO SHOW YOU WHEN I COME HOME , I CAN

SHOW YOU. >> I UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU FOR THAT. WHEN PRINCIPLES DO THIS ON A QUARTERLY BASIS, THE BOARD I'M ASSUMING, WILL RECEIVE SOM TYPE OF REPORT, HOW OFTEN WILL

THAT BE? >> I WILL EXPLAIN MORE DETAILS.

THE QUARTERLY SYSTEM I'M TALKING ABOUT, TWO WILL BE PRESENTATIONS FROM THE OFFICE STAFF, BUT MY GOAL IS TO REPLICATE US AND I WILL INVITE THEM WITH THEIR PARENT LEADERS INVOLVED SO WE CAN ENGAGE WITH THE CONVERSATION AS A GROUP.

>> THANK YOU, DR. DRAWDY. I'M ON THE PAGE WHERE IT SAYS 2021-2024 LCAP GOALS . THE PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE. AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY? DOWN WHERE IT SAYS EQUITY ADDITIONS FOR LEARNING AT THE BOTTOM, HR SAFE COLLABORATIVE CULTURE, SO THINKING THAT WE ARE INVOLVING OUR EMPLOYMENT SERVICES, HOW ARE WE GOING TO HAVE HR ENSURE THAT WE HAVE QUALITY CANDIDATES FOR SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS? I'M SEEING WE NEED A LOT OF SPECIA EDUCATION TEACHERS AND WAITING TO SEE WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM OR IF THEY WILL BE COMING

[01:00:02]

>> LET ME CLARIFY THE HIGH RELIABILITY SCHOOLS , THE FRAMEWORK PIECE, THAT IS A RESEARCHED FRAMEWORK. THEY WIL NOT BE INVOLVED IN ANY KIND OF STAFFING, WHICH I THINK I'M HEARING YOU SAY, THAT WOULD BE DISTRICT PEACE VERSUS STAFFING.

HRS IS A RESEARCH-BASED THAT HELPS SUPPORT OUR PRINCIPLES ENSURING THAT THEIR CAMPUSES AR SAFE AND COLLABORATIVE.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. WITH THAT, MAY I ASK HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GETTING THESE HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT ON A TIMELY BASIS?

>> AFTER SHE SPEAKS, I WILL ADD ONTO THIS. AS WE LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE DOING , BUT I HAVE TO INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION IN TERMS OF BRINGING PEOPLE ON. THANKS TO YOU, WE APPROVED A SALARY INCREASE , I THINK THAT HELPED US AND IT , FROM MY OPINION, IT IS ABOUT BEING GOO AND ADVERTISING WHY WE ARE GOOD AND CHANGING THE MINDSET OF THI DISTRICT. THAT IS SO WE ARE NO TURNING ON OURSELVES. THAT CULTURE CHANGED , AND EMPOWERING US TO MAKE DECISIONS , AND GETTING THEM ENGAGED , WITH TEACHERS AND STAFF GOING T TALK ABOUT THAT THEY HAVE VOIC AND DECISION-MAKING AND THAT I WHERE WE ARE ATTRACTING THROUGH STAFF. I WILL LET HER SPEAK T THE SESSIONS WE ARE DOING RIGHT

NOW. >> CURRENTLY, WE HAVE VACANT POSITIONS POSTED AND WE STARTED THAT SINCE MARK. OUR DEPARTMENT LOOKS AT STAFFING NUMBERS IN MARCH BASED ON THE TREND OF THE ROLE OF NUMBERS. WE HAVE SECURED OUR VACANT SPOTS ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA AS WELL AS SOME OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATIO ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY WITH SPECIA EDUCATION, IT IS HARD TO FIND TEACHERS, SO WE ARE REACHING OU TO UNIVERSITIES FOR THE TEACHER WHO ARE IN INTERIM PROGRAMS TO TRY TO AT LEAST GET THAT IF NEEDED AND FULLY CREDENTIALED IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY AND LOOKING AT SOMEBODY WHO IS IN A INTERIM PROGRAM AND WE HAVE OUR PROGRAM HERE WITHIN THE DISTRIC THAT WE CAN SIGN OUR NEW TEACHERS INTO THE NEW PROGRAM AND THOSE THAT ARE IN TURN POSITIONS EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NO REQUIRED TO BECAUSE WE STILL GIVE THEM A MENTOR TO ASSIST THEM AND HELP THEM WITH THAT. I IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING ON ALL YEAR LONG AND WE START WORKING ON THAT IN MARCH AND POST POSITIONS AND POST THEM SO THAT IF THERE ARE OTHER CHILDRE IN THE DISTRICT, WE CAN MAKE

THOSE TRANSFERS AS WELL. >> AT THIS MOMENT, DO WE HAVE A

PIPELINE? >> WE DO. WE HAVE IT BECAUSE W HOW WAS STUDENT TEACHERS. THAT HELPS US WITH THAT.

>> THANK YOU. I WILL GO OVER T THE NEXT PAGE . YOU HAVE ANSWERED PART OF THIS QUESTION BUT I DID WANT TO ASK AS WELL IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO HAVE TH DISTRICT WEBSITE BE ACCESSIBLE BY TEACHERS AS WELL, OR IS THA JUST FOR PARENTS AND INTUITION IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE LOOKING TO TRANSITION TO A NEW WEBSITE AND THAT WOULD BE WHY W ARE LOOKING AT THE SURVEY TO GE

THAT KIND OF FEEDBACK. >> THANK YOU . I WILL GO TO THE NEXT PAGE NOW. IN YOUR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT CYCLE, DR. DRAWDY, WHERE IN YOUR PLAN DO TEACHERS RECEIVE THEIR TRAINING ? ADDITIONALLY, WILL OUR DISTRICT STAFF BE TRAINED AT THE SAME TIME ? MAYBE IT IS TOO EARLY TO DEVELOP THAT.

>> CAN WE GET CLARIFICATION ON THAT? IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TRAINING, OUR GOAL TO ACTION SI WILL BE DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS

[01:05:03]

>> THE HEART OF YOUR QUESTION I HOW CAN WE PROVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING? I THINK YOU RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AND EVEN THINK WHAT WE ARE ENGAGED IN IS MAKING SITE DECISIONS ON WHA THEY NEED. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY WILL BE VERY INTERESTED I LEARNING. FOR EXAMPLE, GROUP OF STAFF AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, ALL OF THOSE TEACHERS DECIDED TO COME INTO THE SUMMERTIME TO TRAIN BECAUSE WE GAVE THEM DECISIONS AND WE DID THAT, SO THE MORE WE DO THAT, I'M HOPING AS WE GO THROUGH THI CONTINUOUS PROCESS, WE IDENTIFIED AS A UNIT AND SYSTEM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE, THIS WIL FORCE US TO PUT THIS INTO THE LCAP LIKE I CAN IMAGINE AFTER GOING THROUGH A YEAR OF THIS PEOPLE SAYING THIS CURRENT PROCESS WE HAVE IS NOT WORKING AND THE NEXT CONVERSATION LEADS TO BUYBACK DAYS , SO IT IS A WHOLE PROCESS WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT NEEDS. I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LOOK INTO WINDOWS PUBLIC MEETINGS OCCUR IN WHICH PRINCIPLES COME AND TALK WITH WHAT IS HAPPENIN AND ALL OF THAT, THEY WILL PROBABLY POINT OUT THAT IT IS A ISSUE TO MAKE A UNIFIED DECISION ABOUT LEARNING FORWARD. SOMETIMES THE CONCEPT IS DIFFICULT AND A LOT OF PEOPL HAVE A LOT OF OPINIONS ABOUT THAT BUT IF YOU GET THAT TO SAY WE ALL AGREED THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO IDENTIFY AND UNIFY SUPPORT TO GET A UNIFIED ANSWER TO ADDRESS

THE ONES IN NEED. >> THANK YOU . I KNOW THAT ONE OF OUR GOALS IS TO HAVE SKILL WITH TEACHERS HAVING THAT KNOWLEDGE, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW IF THE READ AND WRITE AN LINGUAL IS SOMETHING WE CAN ACCESS?

>> READ AND WRITE IS THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING. CURRENTLY, WE ARE UTILIZING SUPPLEMENTAL PLANS , WHICH WE HAVE PROVIDED LOT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN AND CO-TEACHING AND CO-PLANNIN WITH THAT AND I KNOW OUR SITES ARE LOOKING INTO OTHER PIECES A WELL. WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK INTO OTHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTS. THE STRUGGLE DOE BECOME IF WE DO HAVE SUBSTITUTE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.. BECAUSE WE HAVE CURRICULUM SPECIALISTS THAT ARE TRAINED I SUPPLEMENTAL WORK-STUDY, AND I IN EFFECTIVE USE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT OPTION FOR SCHOOL

SITES TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS. >> THANK YOU. I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. THIS IS ON THE LAST PAGE . SAYS WE ARE WAITING FOR FEEDBACK , WILL THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARRIVE BACK TO US ON TIME FOR LACOE TO BE INCLUDED ?

>> THE TIMELINE I RECEIVED WA TOMORROW.

>> THANK YOU. >> YOU ARE WELCOME. STACK

>> NUMBER QUESTIONS . ANY FOLLOW-UP ?

>> PRESIDENT GARZA . >> YES PLEASE. WITH TALKING ABOUT TEACHERS AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT , I WAS THINKING PART OF THIS LCAP PROCESS, HO THE TEACHERS CAN BE MORE INVOLVED WITH PARENT ENGAGEMEN BECAUSE THEY ARE THE FIRST PHASE OF LOOKING AT THE PARENT AND THE STUDENT. HOW IS THAT ? WE TALKED ABOUT PRINCIPLES BUT WE DID NOT TALK ABOUT TEACHERS.

[01:10:05]

>> I WAS TYING THIS INTO ABSENTEEISM. I THINK THE TWO GO HAND IN HAND IF PARENTS ARE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH A TEACHER AND STUDENTS MISSING SO MUCH CLASS AND BUILDING THAT RELATIONSHIP REDUCES ABSENTEEIS WHICH IS WHAT I THINK. IT IS ALL TIED TOGETHER. I WAS WONDERING PART OF THE LCAP PROCESS , WE CAN INTEGRATE THAT TO SUPPORT TEACHERS AND PARENT

AS PART OF THAT ABSENTEEISM . >> NOT NECESSARILY AS PART OF THE GOAL, SO MAYBE THIS WILL HELP LOOKING AT A DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR THE SCHOOL SITES TO USE, BECAUSE OU TEACHERS ARE USING DOJO AND REMIND AND THINGS WORKING WELL FOR THEM, BUT WE ARE LOOKING FO MORE USER FRIENDLY THAN THE BLACKBOARD SYSTEM WE HAVE RIGHT NOW THAT MIGHT HELP IN THAT SITUATION SO THAT THE COMMUNICATION CAN HAPPEN WITH PARENTS AS FAR AS WHAT THEY AR MISSING AND AS FAR AS THE GREAT BOOKS WITH SECONDARY, THEY CAN LOOK TO SEE HOW THEIR CHILD IS DOING BUT THE PERSONAL CONNECT IS IMPORTANT.

>> DOES THIS APPLY TO THE LEARNING MODEL THAT LCAP HAS REDESIGN THE LEARNING PAIR FO STUDENTS?

>> ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT ABSENTEEISM? MY MIND GOES TO PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES AND THE WORK

STARTING TO HAPPEN. >> YES, IS THAT RELATED TO IT?

>> ENGAGING IN CURRICULUM AND THAT CAME FROM OUR STUDENT VOICE, THE GROWTH MINDSET STRATEGIES FOR OUR TEACHERS TO BE ABLE TO BETTER CONNECT WITH TEACHERS THAT CAME FROM OUR STUDENT ADVISORY AS WELL, DR. DRAWDY MENTIONED MAYFAIR, THEY HAD TEACHERS THAT OPTED TO COME FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING WITH MARZANO WITH LEARNING WHAT A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNIT LOOKS LIKE , SO ALL OF THE PIECES ARE INCORPORATED.

>> I DID NOT SEE THAT HERE, THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING. GARZA WAS TALKING ABOUT TEACHERS. MY MIND WAS THINKING WHAT IS

HAPPENING ? >> YES, YOU WILL SEE THIS IN GOAL ONE AND ACTION 10 WITH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES WHERE WE TIE IT WIT ELEMENTARY PE SPECIALISTS TO

MAKE THAT HAPPEN. >> I'M HOPING THAT WILL HAPPEN AND INCREASE PARENT ENGAGEMENT. THE PLATFORM IS WITH THE CONTENT THAT WE GIVE TO PARENTS TREATING TO THEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD SEE AS VALUABLE. MAYBE CONCEPTS LIKE HOW STUDENTS TAKE THE TEST AND THEIR RESULTS WITH A STUDENT REPORT COMING OUT , MAY BE STRUGGLING AND ALL OF THAT, THA KIND OF INFORMATION BEING PUT T THE PARENTS WITH A STATEMENT THAT SAYS THIS IS WHERE YOUR CHILD HAS BIG PROGRESS AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THE SCHOOL IS DOING TO ADDRESS THESE AREAS NEEDING, PLEASE HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR STAFF SO THEY HAVE SOMETHING THEY CAN SEE AND FEEL AND RESPOND TO. SOMETIMES IT TAKES THAT KIND OF EFFORT AND I'M ONLY DOING THAT FROM EXPERIENCE . MY UNDERSTANDING IS RIGHT NO , WE DO REPORT CARDS , WE DO NO MAIL IT HOME , WHEN YOU DO A PARENT PORTAL TO ME, THAT IS A LOT OF WORK.

[01:15:06]

>> ANOTHER POINT TO THAT, DR. DRAWDY, HIS PARENTS GOING THE HAVE A RESOURCE FOR THEM. ONE ANYTHING I WAS SURPRISED AND DISAPPOINTED IN WAS THE PAPER TUTORING. AS A PARENT, I WOULD JUMP ON THAT. PARENTS ARE SPECIALIZING AND WORKING AND BECOME EXHAUSTED AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T KNOW HOW COMMON CORE WORKS AND THEY DO NOT KNOW THEY HAVE THIS WONDERFUL TOOL RIGHT HERE THAT THE DISTRICT IS SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT CONNECTION OF SUPPORTING THE PARENT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GET THE RESOURCE BUT ALSO SHOWING THE PARENT THAT THIS WILL HELP YOU. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT IS SIMULATED . I REALLY WANT US T HOPEFULLY TURN THE TABLES ON THAT TWO-SEAMER PER DISSIPATIO AND PAPER TUTORING, I HAVE HEARD IT WAS GREAT. I HEARD ENGLISH TEACHERS LOVE THAT , BU I THINK IT IS GREAT FOR MANY STUDENTS IN THAT AREA, TOO . WE HAVE GREAT SOURCES HERE BUT THERE IS NO CONNECTION WITH PARENT, TEACHER AND STUDENT.

>> THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO TAKE IT TO THE STAFF AND SA WHAT IS OUR NOT ORGANIZED WITH COMMITTED TO SEEING WE COULD USE THIS FOR , SO IF WE ARE UNIFIED IN DOING THAT , I WILL NEED THE STAFF TO FIND VALUE IN THAT BECAUSE IF IT IS NOT THAT, THEN IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE SO WE CAN INCORPORATE THAT AS A TIER 2

SUPPORT APPEARED >> AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD , THIS IS NOT A VALUED SOURCE FOR THE DISTRICT , THEN WE SHOULD CONSIDER ELIMINATING IT. I WOUL LIKE TO SEE THAT IT WILL CATCH ON. THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS. THANK YOU.

>> THAT'S OKAY. I'M GLAD YOU SAID YOU WANT TO TO SEE IT MOV ON. IT IS MOVING. THEY ARE UTILIZING IT AND WITH THE ADDITION OF ITS NEW ENHANCEMENT WHICH IT CONTINUALLY DOES, ESPECIALLY BRINGING DOWN THE OPPORTUNITY TO OUR FAMILY STUDENTS IS HUGE, SO WE ARE HOPING THIS CAN TAKE ON WITH

OUR COMMUNITY. >> I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, OUR TEACHERS WHO ARE BEING TRAINED THE WORD STUDY, IS THA ONLY K THROUGH TWO , OR ARE WE GOING INTO HIGH SCHOOL? BECAUS THAT IS A HUGE AREA OF NEED. OU HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW THESE BUILDING BLOCKS AND WE COULD EASILY BE HELPING THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING .

>> ACTUALLY. THE DEVELOPMENTAL WORK-STUDY IS PREDOMINANTLY TAKING TWO TO POSSIBLY THIRD GRADE, HOWEVER INTERVENTION CAN REACH OUT TO OUR IMPROVEMENT DEPARTMENT AS WELL TO BE ABLE T GET SUPPORT WITH ANALYZING DAT AND RTI . THEY ARE ABLE TO REAC OUT TO THAT DEPARTMENT TO GET SUPPORT AND WE PURCHASED REWARDS AND THAT WILL SPEAK TO YOUR HIGHER-LEVEL . LET ME STAY ON THAT FOR A SECOND, BUT THE HIGHER LEVEL OF STUDENTS IN THE MULTISYLLABIC WORD , DECODING, THEN WE IMPLEMENTED , AND I BELIEVE IT IS IN THE TRENTON, W CANNOT TELL YOU THE GOAL RIGHT NOW, MAYBE TWO OR THREE, BUT WE ARE IMPLEMENTING FORWARD WHICH IS A PROGRAM BUT IT IS FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS TO SUPPORT THE WITH THAT AND I HEARD THE NAME CHANGE TO FLUENCY, SOME WAY OR ANOTHER, BUT THAT CHANGED RECENTLY. THIS IS BASICALLY A FLUENCY PROGRAM AND THIS CAN GO UP INTO EIGHTH GRADE. WE ARE UTILIZING THOSE PROGRAMS IN OUR SUMMER ACADEMY. WE ARE HOPING OUR STUDENTS CAN FIND SUCCESS AND WE ARE HOPING WE CAN HAVE ENOUGH DATA TO SEE THAT THEIR IS EFFECTIVENESS AND THEN WE CA BRING THAT TO OUR ADMINISTRATOR WHO CAN SHARE THAT WITH OUR TEACHERS AND THEY CAN REACH OUT TO OUR CURRICULUM SPECIALIST FO

OUR SUPPORT. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. I HEARD

[01:20:05]

>> ONLINE FLUENCY, STUDENTS REA THE PASSAGE ONLINE AND THEN THE

GET FEEDBACK. >> I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT FOR THE I, FLUENCY DOES NOT DETERMINE COMPREHENSION BECAUSE IT IS CERAMIC SO YOU COULD HAVE A STUDENT THAT READS PERFECTLY, FLUENTLY, BUT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND A SINGLE THING THEY READ. SAME IN THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM.

>> THAT IS A FOCUS AREA AS WELL OUR DEVELOPMENT OF STUDY, OUR PROGRAM HAS INCORPORATED COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGES WITH QUESTIONS IN IT BECAUSE OF THA FACT. WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS CA DECODE BEAUTIFULLY BUT THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE READING. UNLESS YOU HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE, A TEN-DAY LESSON, SOMETHING HITTING THE PIECES , STUDENTS AND THEY ARE JUST GETTING DECODING, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE MEETING, SO THEY WILL FIND GAPS AND THAT IS WHAT WILL HOLD THEM BACK MOVING FORWARD. I APPRECIATE BOTH WORLDS.

>> THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THOSE ANSWERS.

>> I HAVE ONE FOLLOW-UP AS WELL ONE, AND QUESTION, AS WELL AS PARENT ENGAGEMENT, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TEACHERS SURVEYED ON WHA THEY THINK OF THE PROGRAMS. THE ARE THE FRONT LINE TO OUR PARENTS AND THEY LISTEN TO OUR PARENTS, THEY TALK WITH THEM, THEY HEAR THE GOOD, THE BAD AND CONCERN, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT INCORPORATED. HOW LONG DO OUR NEW TEACHERS GO? IS THIS A

TWO YEAR PROGRAM? >> YES.

>> THANK YOU. >> TO YOUR POINT, SUMMER ACADEMY, I WAS JUST TALKING TO THE DIRECTOR OVERSEEING IT, SHE IS UTILIZING THAT PROCESS SERVING OUR TEACHERS TO IDENTIF THE SUMMER ACADEMY SO HOPEFULL WE WILL HAVE SOME DATA FROM

THAT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> ANYONE ELSE? >> I'M EXCITED.

>> I BELIEVE THAT IS THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.

>> TAKING A FIVE MINUTE BREAK BEFORE THE BUDGET?

[6. PRESENTATIONS FROM STUDENTS / STAFF / COMMUNITY (Part 2 of 2) ]

>> I'M GOOD TO KEEP GOING. >> AT THIS TIME, I WILL BRING U MISS HUDGINS TO TALK US THROUGH THE BUDGET, THE PROPOSE BUDGET AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AFTER THAT.

>> THANK YOU, DR. DRAWDY. NOW THAT MISS CARTER HAS PRESENTED YOU WITH LCAP, I WAS ARE THE PROPOSED BUDGET TO FUND THE GOALS AND ACTIONS THROUGH THE 2023-2024 FISCAL AND SCHOOL YEAR. FIRST, I WANTED TO START WITH A FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR HOW THIS WORKS FOR A SCHOOL DISTRICT . FOR A SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE FISCAL YEAR START ON JULY 1ST, HOWEVER IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHEN THE NEW FISCAL YEAR HAS STARTED, THERE IS A LOT GOING ON FOR THE PRIOR YEAR. WE ARE HERE WITH THE PROPOSED BUDGET , BUT WHILE THE FISCAL YEAR STARTS ON JULY 1ST AS I HAVE STATED, WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON, WE ARE CLOSING THE BOOKS, WHICH THAT TAKES PLACE IN SEPTEMBER AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE BALANCE AS THAT WILL TERRY I SHARE THIS BECAUSE WHAT YOU WILL SEE TONIGHT WILL ACTUALLY CHANGE AND THIS IS STATED BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY AS YOU SEE HERE, THE ENACTED BUDGET IS NOT IMPROVED UNTIL THE SCHOOL STAT , SO WE ARE DOING SOMETHING BEFORE WE KNOW WHAT THOSE FINAL NUMBERS ARE GOING TO BE. THOSE CHANGES WILL BE REPORTED AT FIRST INTERIM AND ADDITIONALLY ANY OTHER CHANGES WHICH MADE AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS IN MARCH DURING SECOND INTERIM AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE REPORTING CHANGES AND WE ARE GETTING READ FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. IT IS A FLUID PROCESS . THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS ONGOING THROUGHOUT BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I THINK YOU SEE NUMBERS CHANGE BUT BY HIS WIFE WE SAY A BUDGET IS FLUID BASED ON THE ASSUMPTIONS AND INFORMATION WE HAVE AT THE TIME . THAT IS JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND THERE. DR. DRAWDY.

>> I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE , WE WILL CONTINUE TO INCLUDE THIS TYPE OF CYCLE , I'M SURE BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT

[01:25:02]

>> THANK YOU. YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS PARALLEL WITH THIS. NOW, LET'S DIVE INTO MY DETAILS, THE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT AND HOW WE BUILD OUR ANNUAL BUDGET . AS WE SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, THE BUDGET PROCESS BEGINS IN JANUARY WHER THE GOVERNOR RELEASES HIS BUDGET. AT THAT TIME, WE TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND START DEVELOPING OUR BUDGET TO GET INFORMATION OUT TO THE SITES AN DEPARTMENTS SO THEY CAN START BUILDING THEIR BUDGETS. WE PROVIDE THE SITES WITH THEIR STAFFING ALLOCATIONS FOR TEACHERS AND ALL OF THEIR CLASSIFIED STAFF AS WELL AS ADMINISTRATION AND THAT IS BASE ON ENROLLMENT NUMBERS AND STAF ADMINISTRATION INCLUDES SECRETARY, CUSTODIAL AND THE PRINCIPAL AND ALL OF THAT, ALL OF THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS ARE PROVIDED TO THEM. WE PROVIDE DOLLAR AMOUNTS FROM DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES AS MISS CARTER WAS SHARING WITH CONCENTRATION FUNDING, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE FUNDING SOURCES WE PROVIDE ALLOCATIONS FOR AS WELL AS TITL AND THOSE ARE PROVIDED BASED ON THOSE UNDUPLICATED STUDENT NUMBERS. THEY TAKE THOSE ALLOCATIONS AND THE SITES DEVELOP THEIR BUDGETS AND SHE THOUGHT WITH THIS NOT BUDGETED AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL. THAT IS THEIR OWN BUDGETING AT THE SCHOOL SITE. DEPARTMENTS ARE ALSO PROVIDED WITH BUDGET STAFFING ALLOCATIONS FOR BOTH THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE AND CLASSIFIED SUPPORT STAFF AND THEY DEVELOPED THEIR BUDGETS USING A COMBINED, ALLOCATED AND ZERO BUDGET METHOD. WHAT I MEA BY THAT IS WE GET ALLOCATIONS FROM THE STATE IN REGARDS TO HO MUCH SUPPLEMENTAL OR CONCENTRATION MONEY WE WILL BE RECEIVING AND THEY ARE ABLE TO BUDGET BASED ON TOP OF SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS, LIKE SPECIAL ED, MIGHT NOT RECEIVE ENOUGH FUNDING, HOWEVER THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE CERTAIN SERVICES. THAT IS WHERE THE ZERO-BASED BUDGET COMES INTO PLAY WHERE THEY WILL BUDGET SOME OF THOSE IDENTIFIED NEEDS THAT WILL EXCEED THE ALLOCATION PROVIDED AND THAT COMES INTO THE CONTRIBUTIONS WE HAVE TO MAKE . AS DEPARTMENTS AND SITES ARE BUDGETING, THEY HELP WITH STAKEHOLDERS AT THE SITE AND DISTRICT LEVEL. TO THE PARENT INVOLVEMENT, THIS INFORMATION I PRESENTED TO SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL AT THE LEVELS AND OUR DEPARTMENTS HOLD MEETINGS WITH THE SITES TO GO OVER SOME OF THESE PROPOSED AMOUNTS AND THEN THAT INFORMATION IS FORWARDED T THE FISCAL DEPARTMENT. THEN, THE FISCAL DEPARTMENT TAKES THE INFORMATION AND COMPILES ALL OF THE BUDGETS FROM THE DEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP THE PROPOSED BUDGET AND SERVES AS A CHECK AND BALANCE FOR THE SITES AND DEPARTMENTS. THE FISCAL DEPARTMENT DOESN'T DICTATE HOW THE FUNDS MIGHT BE USED, SO WE DO NOT TELL ON THE SITES AND/O DEPARTMENTS WHAT ACTIONS OR OBJECTS THEY NEED, THAT IS BASED ON THEIR IDENTIFIED NEEDS THAT THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. IT SAID WE ENSURE THEY ARE TO THE LCAP GOALS AS WELL AS THE ARE BUDGETED UNDER THE RIGHT CODES. THE BUDGET HAS TO BE DEVELOPED USING WHAT IS CALLED THE FAX FORM, THAT IS THE STAT FORM THAT ALL DISTRICTS HAVE TO PROVIDE THEIR INFORMATION ON AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET AS PROPOSED TO THE BOARD, WHICH IS WHAT WE ARE DOING TODAY AND EACH YEAR, THE BOARD HAS TO ADOPT A BUDGET PRIOR TO JUNE 30TH, WHICH IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT WEEK DURING THE BOARD MEETING. NOW THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED ON HOW WE DEVELOP OUR BUDGET, LET'S GET INTO WHAT THE PROPOSED BUDGET HAS FOR US THI YEAR AND WE WILL LOOK AT ASSUMPTIONS USED WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUDGET, WHA THE TOTALS ARE, THE GENERAL MULTITIER FUND PROJECTIONS AS WELL AS THE HINDI FUND BALANCE AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT A FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN BEING REQUIRED OF US. LET'S START WIT THE ASSUMPTIONS USED FROM THE

[01:30:01]

ADDITIONAL ASSUMPTIONS THAT AR USED , AS YOU SAW PREVIOUSLY, THE COLA AT 8.22, THAT INCREASE THE REVENUE ON THE LCFF.

COUNSELORS AND CALPERS ARE EXPENDITURES , SO WE CAN SEE CALPERS RATES HAVE GONE UP SO THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO PAY MORE THROUGH HEALTH AND WELFARE COST THAT WE ARE ACCOUNTED FOR AND REFUNDED A.D.A. BECAUSE THAT I HOW WE ARE FUNDED. WE ARE FUNDE ON AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE. THIS YEAR, WE ARE FUNDED ON 10,471 STUDENTS. NEXT YEAR, WE ARE SLATED TO BE 8973. WE ARE LOSING 598 STUDENTS WHEN IT COMES TO PER A.D.A. FUNDING. I WANT TO POINT OUT WE ARE BEING FUNDED ON A THREE-YEAR AVERAGE SINCE COVID-19 IN ORDER TO HELP THE ENROLLMENT AND ATTENDANCE AND EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED, WE ARE FUNDED ON A THREE-YEAR AVERAGE. IF WE WERE NOT FUNDED ON A THREE-YEAR AVERAGE, WE WOULD BE LOSING MOR A.D.A. AND WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT APPROXIMATELY BEING FUNDED AT 9000 HUNDRED 83. THIS THREE-YEAR AVERAGE IS HELPING US OUT. WE HOPE IT CONTINUES .

I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT. NOW THAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT THE ASSUMPTIONS BEING USED, LET'S DIVE INTO ACTUAL NUMBERS. UNDER THE LCFF, THAT IS BASICALLY TH BIGGEST CHUNK OF AMOUNT YOU WILL SEE , WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT SLIDE ON THE PIE BREAKDOWN YOU SEE WE ARE SLATED TO GET MORE FUNDING NEXT YEAR AND YOU SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, HOLD ON, HO CAN WE BE GETTING MORE? REMEMBE THE COLA IS A 8.22, SO THE GREAT SPANS ARE GETTING MORE FUNDING SO WE ARE SLATED TO GET A LITTLE UNDER 6 MILLION MORE I LCFF FUNDING. OUR OTHER FUNDIN SOURCES CURRENTLY FOR THE PROPOSED BUDGET ARE LOWER, HOWEVER THOSE NUMBERS WILL CHANGE BECAUSE SOME OF THE AWARDS HAVE NOT YET BEEN PROVIDED AT THIS TIME. WE ARE ONLY WORKING WITH NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE AT THIS TIME. WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR CURRENT AS DR.

DRAWDY WAS SAYING, WORKING PARALLEL TO TWO YEARS OF THIS COMPARISON, OUR ESTIMATED ACTUALS SO WE ARE SLATED TO EN THE YEAR WITH A LITTLE OVER 195 MILLION IN REVENUE. NEXT YEAR, OUR REVENUE IS SLATED TO BE 177,209,406 . WE ARE LOSING REVENUE AS A WHOLE OF A LITTLE OVER 18 MILLION. HERE AGAIN, YOU HAVE THIS BEING BROKEN DOW WITH THE ACTUAL REVENUES THAT WE ARE RECEIVING, SO LOOKING AT MOST OF THE REVENUES IS IN THE BASE FUNDING, OUR LCFF FUNDING, BUT WE RECEIVED A GOOD AMOUNT AS MRS. CARTER SLATED, WE HAVE 79.83% IN UNDUPLICATED . WE DO RECEIVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF SUPPLEMENTAL CONCENTRATION FUNDING AND OUR FEDERAL FUNDING AS WELL AS THE OTHER FUNDING WE HAVE DISCUSSED THERE. LET'S GE INTO OUR EXPENDITURES. WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS WE COMPILED BUDGETS FROM THE SITE AND THE DEPOSITS AND HOW WE HAVE PUT IN EVERYTHING OUR SITE AND DEPARTMENTS HAVE ASKED TO BE BUDGETED FOR NEXT YEAR. FOR SALARIES AND BENEFITS, COMPARIN THIS YEAR TO NEXT YEAR'S, SO W

[01:35:01]

YOU CAN SEE THAT HERE IN THE BREAKDOWN. THIS YEAR, WE ARE ESTIMATED BASED ON WHAT IS CURRENTLY BUDGETED. LATER, I WILL SHOW WHERE WE ARE AT WITH ACTIONS WITH WHAT IS BUDGETED ON OUR EXPENDITURES. IT IS SHOWING 235 MILLION 132,779 FOR ACTUAL EXPENDITURES. NEXT YEAR, WE ARE PROPOSING TO SPEND LESS. THAT IS BECAUSE WE KNOW WE ARE GETTING LESS REVENUE, SO TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WELL. WE NEED TO START MITIGATING SOME OF THAT LOSS OF REVENUE. HERE IS A BREAKDOWN OF LOOKING AT THE EXPENDITURES AS YOU CAN SEE HER, SALARIES TAKE THE BIGGEST PORTION. WE BROKE THIS DOWN BY OBJECT CODES EVERYTHING IS DONE BY OBJECT CODES, CERTIFICATED STAFFING IS KNOWN AS 1000 OBJECT CODES, CLASSIFIED STAFFING IS 2000 OBJECT CODES AND 3000 ARE OUR HEALTH AND WELFARE. THE THREE PIE SLICES YOU CAN SEE, IF YOU WERE TO ADD THEM ALL TOGETHER, YOU WOULD GET 77%. 77% OF OUR BUDGET IS PROPOSED TO GO TO SALARIES AND THE LAST ARE THE BOOKS AND SUPPLIES AND OTHER OBJECT CODES THAT ARE IDENTIFIED. NOW, LET'S LOOK AT OUR REVENUE OVER EXPENDITURES AND LOOKING AT THE TWO YEARS NEXT TO EACH OTHER, CURRENTLY I THIS YEAR, WE STARTED THE YEAR WITH OUR BEGINNING FUND BALANCE 114,369,504 , OUR REVENUES FO THE YEAR THERE, 195 MILLION AN OUR EXPENDITURES AS YOU SAW O THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. OUR REVENUE OVER EXPENDITURES, WE DO HAVE BUDGETED EXPENDITURES TO GO OVE THE REVENUE SO WE DO HAVE DEFICIT SPENDING. THAT IS BASED ON WHAT IS CURRENTLY BUDGETED.

IT DOES NOT MEAN EVERYTHING IS COMING TO FRUITION. I WILL BE SHARING A SLIDE OF WHERE WE AR SO IT SHOWS OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE WILL BE DECREASING AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET, WE ARE TRYING TO MITIGATE THAT SO OUR SPENDING IS GETTING LESS, BUT I EVERYTHING WAS TO COME, WE WOUL START THE 2023-2024 YEAR WITH 69,694,022 AS OUR BEGINNING FUND BALANCE AND WOULD BE ENDIN AREA WITH 44,000,180 . THE COMPONENTS OF OUR COMPONENTS, BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE THAN 10% I RESERVES , SO WE ARE REQUIRED T KEEP AT LEAST 3%. EVERY TIME YOU HAVE MORE THAN 10%, YOU HAV TO COMMIT YOUR ENDING FUND BALANCE. WE DID THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST YEAR, THIS WAS SOMETHING AND I DID LAST YEAR AND WE HAVE TO CONTINUE IT INTO THIS YEAR , SO THERE ARE RESTRICTED FUNDS AND THAT INCLUDES SOME OF THE COVID-19 MONEY AS WELL AS TITLE MONEY BU WITH THE RESOLUTION WE ARE PROPOSING IS TO CONTINUE OUR REPAIRS AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED.

WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH WITH OUR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TO COVER THOSE REQUIREMENTS, SO CONTINUING TO KEEP SOME MONEY THERE AND AS WE HAVE SEEN WITH MITIGATION TO ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES, SO BEING ABLE T BE READY FOR THE RAINY DAY WHE IT COMES EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NO , IN THE PAST, HAD TO GET THE END FUND BALANCE, BUT THAT'S BEING PREPARED FOR THAT. BEFOR WE GET INTO THE MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS , I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU TWO SLIDE DECKS THAT ARE PROVIDED BY SCHOOL SERVICES AS PART OF THE MAY REVISION, BU WE TALKED ABOUT THE BUDGET BEING FLUID BUT THE FIRST IS UNDERSTANDING WHAT MULTIYEAR

[01:40:05]

COMMITMENTS THAT MIGHT BE SUSTAINED WITH COLA BEFORE MIGH NOT BE SUSTAINED IN THE FUTURE AGAIN, IT IS THE BALANCING ACT OF BEING ABLE TO STABILIZE THINGS BY HAVING THIS INFORMATION. WE ARE REQUIRED T PRESENT A PROPOSED BUDGET WITH TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS AND THAT IS YOUR MULTI YOUR PROJECTIONS HERE. THAT IS TO BE ABLE TO SAY WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO MEET TH 3% RESERVED. HERE, WE ARE HERE TO MEET OUR 3% RESERVED IN THE COMING YEAR AS WELL AS THE NEXT TWO FOLLOWING YEARS WHICH MEANS WE WILL HAVE A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION EVEN THOUGH WE ARE DEFICIT SPENDING. THE 3% RESERVE IS THE LAST NUMBER LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM I TERMS ARE OF 2023-2024, WE NEED TO HAVE A LITTLE OVER 6 MILLION AND THAT IS BASED ON REVENUE . THE 24-25, A LITTLE UNDER 6 MILLION AND THE 25-26 BECAUSE WE SEE THE REVENUE IS DECREASING. WE ARE ABLE TO MEE OUR PERCENT, BUT WE ARE DEFICIT, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO MITIGATE THAT, SO OUR SPENDING IS STARTING TO DECREASE BECAUS WE ARE STABILIZING THINGS. LOOKING AT OUR ATTRITION AND SEEING OUR A.D.A. AND HOW THAT IS DECLINING AND SAYING BECAUS THE A.D.A. IS DECLINING, OUR STAFFING NEEDS TO DECLINE TO GO ALONG WITH IT. I KNOW THIS SLIDE IS VERY HARD TO SEE BUT YOU HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU AND THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOU BEING ABLE TO SHOW WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE BASED ON YEAR TO DATE ACTION WAS. WHAT WE WANT TO SHOW HERE IS BASED ON ALL O THE PROPOSED EXPENDITURES, WE ARE CURRENTLY SHOWING THAT WE WOULD DEFICIT SPEND AT THE END OF THE YEAR. SOME OF THOSE THINGS HAVE NOT COME TO FRUITION. THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SECOND COLUMN WHICH ARE YOUR ESTIMATED TOTALS YEAR TO DATE. THIS IS UP TO MAY 31ST. THIS IS INFORMATION THAT OUR GENERAL LEDGER IS PROVIDED US A OF MAY 31ST. IF THE BOOKS WERE TOO CLOSE AS OF MAY 31ST, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE, WE WOULD BE OVER IN EXCESS, A LITTLE OVER 16 MILLION, BUT WE STILL HAVE A MONTH TO GO. TAKING THIS INFORMATION AND KNOWING WE ARE IN JUNE, SO SOME OF THE THINGS WILL NOT HAPPEN, SOME OF THE BUDGET EXPENDITURES THAT THE SITES AND DEPARTMENTS HAVE BUDGETED FOR, MAYBE PD OR EXTRA HOURS OR MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES THEY HAVE NOT BUDGETED FOR AND THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO SPEN DURING THAT YEAR, WE DO NOT SE THAT BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE JUNE LEFT AND NOT -BUT WE HAVE ANOTHER PAYROLL CYCLE THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN JUNE WHICH INCLUDES A RETRO INVOLVED IN THAT SO WE ARE SAYING THAT THE YEAR IS NOT POSSIBLY GOING TO BE AT A DEFICIT SPENDING BUT INSTEAD POSSIBLY GOING TO HAVE

[01:45:01]

TIME. >> THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SLIDE BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAN THAT MOST DISTRICTS ARE DIGITAL SPENDING. THIS IS REALLY ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO REVERSE THE DEFICIT SPENDING AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS GO THROUGH AND ESTABLISH WHAT A STRUCTURA DEFICIT IS, I DON'T KNOW IF W TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER, BUT THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE KNOW WILL CONTINUE TO EAT AT THE RESERVES AND REALLY IDENTIFY WHAT THOSE ARE AND MAKING SURE WE ARE CLEAR AND THAT WE DO NO CONFLATE OUR EXPENDITURES WITH OR INFLATE IT WITH FUNDS, KIN OF USING A SAVINGS FOR OPERATIONS , WE NEED TO ESTABLISH THAT, BUT THE KEY IS FINDING OUT WHAT THE OPERATIONS COST WHICH IS THE DEFICIT AND REVERSING THEM. SEVERAL WAYS WE CAN DO THAT AND THE LOVERS WE HAVE , FOR EXAMPLE, DURING WITH ALIGNING STAFFING TO ENROLLMENT, SO IF WE START GETTING AND DECREASING A.D.A., WE HAVE TO BE VERY DOCKET MAKING SURE WE ALIGN THIS TO TH DISTRICTS BY SAYING I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT , YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT. AS THE CONVERSATION, WE WILL HAVE THAT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. ANOTHER THING WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IS WHAT IS CAUSING A DECLINE FOR US? WE HAVE TO MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NO LIKE. FOR EXAMPLE, A PART OF M LISTENING TOUR IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT DO YOU SEE WHERE TH COMMUNITY IS AND WHERE ARE WE LOSING OUR STUDENTS? WITH THE CONVERSATION WE ARE HAVING, I KNOW OUR SEVEN TOLL SYSTEM, I DON'T KNOW THE RATE BY THAT, BUT IF THAT IS SUBSTANTIAL, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT. THAT I SOMETHING THEY MIGHT NOT WANT T HEAR, BUT WE HAVE TO SEPARATE THAT FROM THE HIGH SCHOOLS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN. THAT'S A TOUGH DECISION . WE ALSO JUST NEED TO BE GOOD SO THAT WE

[01:50:06]

>> THANK YOU, DR. DRAWDY. TO SUMMARIZE WHAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TONIGHT AND SOME REMINDERS THAT THE PROPOSED BUDGET WAS PREPARED BASED ON TH LATEST ASSUMPTIONS KNOWN TO DATE . SOME OF THE THINGS MIGHT CHANGE AFTER JULY 1ST . THE PROPOSED BUDGET DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY CARRYOVER FUNDS FOR EXPENDITURES AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET DOES INCLUDE A REDUCTIO OF THE EIGHT FTE WHICH I SHARE FOR THE 2023-2024 AS WELL AS TH 24-25 MOVING ON BASED ON THE ATTRITION WE ARE SEEING AND ALL PROPOSED BUDGET REVENUE HAS BEE BUDGETED. ALL PROPOSED EXPENDITURES ARE GOING TO LCAP GOALS AND ACTIONS. THESE PROJECTIONS ARE FROM THE GOVERNOR'S REVISION AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITH THE FINAL STATE BUDGET AND THE FUND BALANCE AND PROPOSED STABILIZATION PLAN ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON UNAUDITED ACTUALS AND FINAL AUDIT. I ALS WANTED TO TAKE THIS TIME TO THANK MY FISCAL TEAM. THEY WORKED VERY HARD IN TERMS OF PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER. OUR DIRECTOR OF FISCAL SERVICES DR. MARTINEZ AS WELL AS OUR TWO BUDGET AND ACCOUNTING ASSISTANCE COMPILING ALL OF THI ESPECIALLY BECAUSE AS I SAID, W ARE CLOSING THE BOOKS AND PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER. I WANTED TO TAKE THAT TIME. THANK

YOU . >> THANK YOU , STAFF FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I HAVE TO MOVE T A MOTION NOW . WE CAN DISCUSS IT. I HAVE A MOTION TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED

BUDGET 2023-2024 ? >> YES, YOU HAVE THE MOTION.

>> SECOND. >> DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? I'M SO SORRY. ANY PUBLIC WHO WISH TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? YES, THIS I THE TIME. COME UP TO THE PODIU

PLEASE. >> I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THES BUDGETS FOR A LONG TIME, WHEN IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE ACTUALLY GONE INTO RED? IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR I WATCH THIS BUDGET AND THE RESERVES JUST KEEPS GETTING LARGER AND LARGER EVERY YEAR. HAVE WE EVE GONE INTO DEFICIT SPENDING ACTUALLY AT THE END OF THE YEAR

>> WE HAVE. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU THE RIGHT ANSWER, EITHER 16-17 OR 17-18 . ANYON ELSE? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

THAT QUESTION. >> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY PRESIDENT GARZA, NOT NECESSARIL GOING INTO THE RED BECAUSE WE HAD A ND FUND BALANCE BUT WE DID SPEND IN THAT YEAR. GOING INTO THE RED WAS EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE 3%. WE HAD A ENDING BALANCE, BUT WE GET INTO THE BALANCE THAT YEAR.

>> WE WILL NOT GO INTO THE RED BECAUSE IT WILL STOP US. THAT I HOW THAT WORKS. WE HAVE DONE DRASTIC CHANGES THAT WE WILL NOT CONTROL, THEY WILL CONTROL. THAT IS WHY THE STABILIZATION PLAN HAS TO FEEL CONFIDENT WE ARE ON TOP OF IT KNOWING THAT WE ARE DEFICIT SPENDING SO WE ARE PROMISING TO THEM AHEAD OF TIME THAT WE GOT THIS AND WE WILL MAKE THE DECISIONS BUT IF THEY DO NOT TRUST US, THEY WIL CONTACT US BACK AND SAY WE DO NOT TRUST THIS. WE ARE NOT THERE, BUT WE ARE ADDRESSING THE STRUCTURAL DEFICIT BEFORE IT GETS TO WHERE WE ARE BELOW THE 3% EVEN BEFORE IT GETS THER

[01:55:03]

>> PRESIDENT GARZA, REALLY QUICKLY, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO GET THE ANSWER TO THE PUBLIC HEARING QUESTIONED IN OUR

FRIDAY MEMO PLEASE? >> YES. THANK YOU . YES. COME

ON UP. >> CLARIFICATION. WHEN WE SAY IN 2017, I HEARD TWO THINGS, THEY DID DEFICIT SPEND IN 2017 IS WHAT I HEARD , BUT THE PROJECTIONS OF THE DEFICIT SPENDING IN MY UNDERSTANDING WOULD MEAN WE HAD NO MORE RESERVE . I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE EVER GOTTEN CLOSE TO 3%, WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A RESERVE THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS BEEN VERY CAREFUL WITH THE EXTRA FUNDS. THE TRAININGS I HAVE HAD ON TH SCHOOL FINANCES , WHEN I WENT T THAT LAST YEAR, WE HAD 33% OR 33 TIMES THE AMOUNT WE NEEDED IN THAT ACCOUNT IN THE FUNDS, AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU IDENTIFIED THEM OR NOT OR YOU CONNECT THEM TO SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE IS A BOARD DECISION. DR. DRAWDY, I TOTALL GET THAT, THE STATE WOULD STOP YOU BEFORE YOU GOT TO THAT POINT . THAT IS WHEN DISTRICTS GET TAKEN OVER, WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THAT KIND OF SITUATION THAT I RECALL AND A POINT, WE HAVE BEEN FINANCIALLY STABLE .

I KNOW THAT THE THIRD-YEAR NEVER REALLY COMES BECAUSE THE NEXT YEAR, IT IS THE SECOND YEAR. LIKE I SAID, THEY ARE PROJECTIONS, BUT I WANT TO CLARIFY 2017, I'M CONFUSED ABOUT THE DEFICIT SPEND CONFUSING GOING INTO THE RED I THINK IS WHAT MY COLLEAGUE WAS ASKING. I THINK THAT CONFUSED US. I AGREE, CLARIFICATION WOULD HELP.

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WOUL LIKE TO COME TO THE PODIUM AND

MAKE A COMMENT OR QUESTION? >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, IT LOOKED LIKE BASED ON OUR PROJECTIONS, WHAT WE WILL BE WORKING WITH WILL SHRINK EVERY YEAR AND WE WILL HAVE A LITTLE LESS TO WORK WITH. WILL HAVE T DO MORE. I THINK ABOUT SOME OF THE PRESENTATIONS I HAVE BEEN A PART OF WITH OUR FACILITIES AND LOOKING AT THE PRIORITIES WE MAKE LIKE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR THIS IS KIND OF A VAGUE QUESTIO AND OPEN-ENDED, BUT HOW ARE WE LOOKING TO START DOING MORE WITH A SHRINKING BUDGET WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS LIKE OUR FACILITIES?

>> PART OF WHAT WE HAS TO TO D IS LOOK AT WHAT IS NOT WORKING . FOR EXAMPLE, I SEE THE RESERVE FOR FACILITIES WITH THE 23 MILLION WHICH IS SOMETHING, BUT THE BOARD PUT THAT THERE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS WITH RESTROOMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT , SO WE CAN EITHER SAY WE WILL NOT DO THAT AND APPLY SOMETHING ELSE, FOR EXAMPLE, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY STUFF, WE COULD DIVERT THOSE FUNDS TO GO TO THAT COMMUNITY HAS TO COME TO TERMS WITH POWER STATE FUNDS, SCHOOL AND HOW THEY FUND FACILITIES I DISTRICTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

FOR ME, I THINK IT IS A TRAVESTY THAT IT HAS LONG PASSED THIS DISTRICT. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. THAT IS A DECISION THE COMMUNITY HAS TO MAKE. IF WE DON'T GET BONDS PAST, WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THE FACILITY, IS YOU HAVE TO DIVERT THE GENERAL FUND FOR THAT. THIS IS COMPLEX STUFF. THIS INVOLVES MAKING TOUGH DECISIONS. WE HAV TO LOOK AT THE DISTRICT MAKE UP IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE DOING AND DO WE NEED THE AUTO CLASSROOM STAFF ? WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT. WHEN WE BRIN ON THE ADDITIONAL DECISION WIT SECURITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SOMETHING ELSE ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN SO EVERYBODY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO ADD, WE CAN TRADE OFF THOUGH. THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE TO

[02:00:02]

HAVE. >> I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THA EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THAT. THERE IS A SENSE OF URGENCY AT LEAST MELISSA AND I WERE LOOKIN AT, WITH THE NUMBERS AND HOW THINGS ARE SHRINKING. WE WANT T SEE BETTER FACILITIES ON OUR CAMPUSES. I THINK MAYBE WE CAN STRESS THAT IF WE DO START ASKING FOR A BOND BECAUSE THERE ARE PROGRAMS THAT ARE VULNERABL THAT I KNOW MIGHT BE PICKED OF AND ON POTENTIAL WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PAPER TUTORING, THAT HAS NOT BEEN SOMETHING THAT WAS ADVERTISED AND THIS ENDS UP ON THE CUTTING TABLE, W MIGHT HAVE LOST SOMETHING THAT COULD BE HELPFUL ALONG WITH THE PASSINGS HAPPENED, THOSE ARE SOMETHING WE CAN GET THE RESULT FROM AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE USING THEM, NOT NECESSARILY RIGHT AWAY, SO I WOULD NOT CUTTING TABLE. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE LOOK AT A BOND BECAUSE WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS, THE COMMUNITY CAN. THIS IS A GOOD POINT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COM

INTO ACTION AND SUPPORT US. >> I SUPPORT THAT AND I UNDERSTAND. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE LCAP , IT DISCUSSES THAT WE PLAN TO HAVE PROVIDING PEOPLE WHO IS NOT WORKING AND WORKING AND ALL OF THAT, BUT I WAS HOPING DURING A TIME WE HAVE PARENTS AND STAFF ENGAGED AND YOU CAN STOP TALKING ABOUT SOM OF THESE THINGS, IF PAPER IS A WASTE OF MONEY, BECAUSE NO ONE IS USING IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN W DISCONTINUE THAT, BUT IF WE DISCONTINUE, THERE HAS TO BE TH SUPPORT. IF THERE IS NOT PEOPLE WHAT ELSE ARE WE GOING TO DO BECAUSE THAT'S NECESSARY. THESE ARE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE TO HAVE AS A UNIT AND WE HAVE TO MAKE THE FINAL DECISION. NONE O THAT WILL BE EASY. YOUR OWN HOUSEHOLDS, YOU GO THROUGH THES KINDS OF CHALLENGES.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS.

>> YOU ARE WELCOME. ANYONE ELSE? PLEASE COME ON UP .

>> I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THE EFFORTS THEY MADE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. I KNOW THE NUMBERS ARE DIFFICULT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF LAWS AND RULES YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW. I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT WE HAVE T EARMARKING OUR FUNDS SOMEWHERE.

THE MAJORITY OF THE FUNDS HAVE TO BE EARMARKED SOMEWHERE. WHEN WE SEE THE DEFICIT SPENDING, THAT IS LIKE A LITTLE DOOMSDAY LIKE WITH AN ATTITUDE ONLY BECAUSE WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS AND THE PROJECTED OUTLA AFTER NEXT MONTH WHEN THE BUDGE IS COMPLETE, I'M SEEING NUMBERS LIKE THIS , LIKE OUR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS WERE MISSING BY ALMOST $11 MILLION, WHICH IS 20% OVER WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, THA IS NOT A NUMBER THAT SHOULD BE FLUCTUATING, THAT IS A STATIC NUMBER THAT WE SHOULD KNOW FROM THE BEGINNING. TO MISS BY $10 MILLION AS WE ARE PUTTING OUR MONEY THERE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO, BUT NOT THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT. CHRIS, WITH NUMBERS LIKE THIS, DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT LOSING THINGS CRITICAL T STUDENTS. I ALSO SEE OUR SERVICES AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENDITURES MISSED BY $14 MILLION AND 32% DIFFERENCE THEN WHAT WE HAD PROJECTED. AND AGAIN, IN THE RAINIEST OF DAYS I WOULD SAY WHICH IS COVID-19, WE WENT INTO DEFICIT SPENDING.

WE DON'T NEED TO CUT PROGRAMS NECESSARILY BUT NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS AS A.D.A. GOES DOWN BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE HOUSE AND RESERVE BECAUSE OF SMART DECISIONS WE HAVE MADE AND I HOPE THAT WILL OPEN, NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF CUTTING PROGRAMS VITAL TO OUR STUDENTS AND OUR PROGRAM.

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? >> HELLO, I HAVE A CLARIFYING QUESTION ON WHAT CAPITAL OUTLA GIVES.

>> THOSE ARE ANY EXPENDITURES OVER 5000.

>> WHAT DOES OUTGO CONSTITUTE?

>> THOSE ARE OUR INDIRECT FEES . DID YOU WANT TO ADD ANOTHER COMMENT OR SOMETHING ELSE? DOE STAFF WANT TO VERIFY ANYTHING

ELSE OR COMMENTS? >> THERE WAS A COMMENT IN REGARDS TO THE DEFICIT SPENDING . I THINK WHEN THE QUESTION WAS ASKED , I THINK BECAUSE OF HOW IT IS PRESENTED IN THE RED. THE

[02:05:03]

>> AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, DURIN THE PROCESS, THE INCLUSIVE CONVERSATION AROUND ACTIVITIES AND ALL OF THAT AND TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION , WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE BUDGETED ITEMS. ANYTIME WE TALK ABOUT WHAT IS WORKING AND WHAT IS NOT WORKING, ALSO REMEMBER HOW WE BUDGETED THAT INTO WHERE WE ARE . THAT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE TIME UNTIL WE GE TO WE KNOW WHAT EXACTLY WE ARE SPENDING AND NOT SPENDING. FOR EXAMPLE, PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, I KNOW THE STAFF WANTS IT, SO I THINK WE WOULD GET EVERYBODY TRAINED AND ALL OF THAT, WHEN W ASSOCIATE MONEY , REALITY HITS AND WE CANNOT GET IN THERE. I THINK WE NEED TO BE TIGHTER ON THAT AND REALISTIC ABOUT WHAT I STOPPING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FROM HAPPENING ? IF WE RECOGNIZ THAT, WE ARE BUDGETING FOR SOMETHING WE CANNOT DO, WE HAVE TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING. THAT' HOW I'M LOOKING AT HOW WE ADDRESS THAT. I HAVE SEEN THAT THROUGH THAT JOURNEY, BUT MY GOAL ALTOGETHER IS TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT AND INCLUSIVE AND LIGHT STAFFED WITH A CONVERSATION AND INVITE PARENT AND STUDENTS TO A CONVERSATION WITH THE CONCEPT THAT WE WILL HAVE STUDENT CABINETS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND INVITE THEM INT A CONVERSATION SO EVERYBODY IS LOOKING ONTO THE SITUATION AND SO WE ARE MAKING COLLECTIVE DECISIONS. IT WILL BE TRANSPARENT AND I'M HOPING WE BUILD TRUST BECAUSE A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH WE HAVE THE DEFICIT BUT SOMETIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS IF THIS SPILLS OUT INTO HOW WE OPERATE OR EDUCATE AND IF IT IS LACKING AND PARENTS ARE SEEING EVERYBODY LOVES THEIR CHILD, THEY WILL NO PUT THEIR CHILD IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT, SO I THINK WE SHOULD ENGAGE IN THESE CONVERSATIONS .

>> ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC

>> GOOD EVENING. I'M ON THE DISTRICT ADVISORY GROUP COMMITTEE AND OFTEN THIS COMES UP, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP MITIGATE IT BUT THESE ARE NOT JUST MY CONCERNS, BUT THIS COME UP OFTEN THAT WHEN WE ARE MAKIN THE DECISIONS ON WHAT WE THINK THE GOALS ARE, PRIORITY, ACTION AND WE GIVE FEEDBACK TO THEM, I IS A TRANSPARENT PROCESS EXCEP FOR THE BUDGET AND THE MONEY. W JUST LIKE TO UNDERSTAND IF WE HAVE ACCESS TO SEE THE MONEY IN ADVANCE, EVEN IF IT IS JUST ON OF THOSE ASSUMPTIONS, THAT MIGH HELP US INFORM AND MAKE DECISIONS. BEING PART OF THE PBI ASKED COMMITTEE AT MAYFAIR AND I'M LOOKING AT THIS, AND THIS IS THE BEST PLACE WE CAN GET OUR TEACHERS INVOLVED IN TRANSFORMING CULTURE AND SAFETY AND YET IT IS ONLY THIS AMOUNT THAT CAN TRUST EQUITY AND PEER RELATIONSHIPS, ENGAGEMENT, ATTENDANCE AND THEN I SEE THIS AND THAT WAS A BIG ASK. I THIN IF WE UNDERSTOOD WHERE THE DISTRICT FEELS THE MONEY NEEDS TO GO AND THEN WE CAN UNDERSTAN THAT, BUT WHEN MEETINGS ARE HELD WITH STAKEHOLDERS AT SITE AND DISTRICT LEVELS BASED ON TH TRUE STATEMENT, BUDGETS ARE SUBMITTED FOR PRIMARY APPROVAL AND MOVE FORWARD TO THE FISCAL DEPARTMENT, TRUE, BUT THERE IS

DISCONNECT THERE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[02:10:01]

>> VERY GOOD POINT. YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST DISTRICT THAT IS STRUGGLING WITH THIS. THIS HAS TO DO WITH ME AND A COUPLE OF SUPERINTENDENTS. WE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE TAKE THIS COMPLEX BUDGET AND MAKE IT MANAGEABLE ENOUGH FOR THE LEAD PERSON TO SEE HOW WE MAKE DECISIONS . FOR ME, TO ADDRESS THAT IS TO ESTABLISH A PROCESS THROUGH THE LCAP, WHICH WE ARE I LOVE HOW YOU ARE RAISING THAT PROCESS BUT WE NEED TO TIE THE FUNDING MORE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE THINGS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THIS IS A JOURNEY, AND LET'S SA WE ARE OFF BY X PERCENT, I'M HOPING ONE CYCLE COULD REDUCE OUR EFFICIENCY BY THE CERTAIN PERCENTAGE AND NEXT YEAR WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE CYCLE AND WE JUST DO THAT. SOME OF THE CHANGES ARE PRETTY HOSTILE. WHA YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT I NOT DOING SOMETHING DRACONIAN WHERE THAT IS HARMING PEOPLE.

IT IS A PART OF THE JOURNEY WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH. MY GOAL IS TO GET THERE. HOW TO MAKE IT EASY, WE HAVE STATE-OF-THE-ART,

WE CAN DO THAT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? NOW IS THE TIME. COME ON UP PLEASE.

>> YOUR COMMENT ABOUT FURTHERING THE TRUST, I THINK W WORK HARD TO FOSTER . I'M ON AL OF THE COMMITTEES, ALL OF THE THINGS. WHEN I LOOK AT THE BUDGET, I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

HAVE BEEN HERE LISTENING FOR YEARS AND SEEING THE RESERVE KEEP GROWING, YES, THAT IS GOOD BUT I WONDER IF AND HOW AND WHY THAT MONEY ISN'T BEING SPENT ON KIDS. WE ARE IN A BUSINESS BUT WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF KIDS, SO HOW DOES THE MONEY KEEP GROWING WHEN I HAVE PARENTS THAT SAY TO ME WHY DO YOU KEEP GIVING CLASS LISTS LIKE WE NEED TISSUES AND MARKER AND WHATEVER, WHY ARE THE PARENTS SUPPLYING THAT, WHY AREN'T WE SUPPLYING THAT? THAT' THE QUESTION I KEEP GETTING ASKED. WHY IS THE RESERVE GROWING WHEN THOSE ARE BEING SPENT ON KIDS? IN ORDER TO BUIL TRUST WITH COMMUNITIES AND TEACHERS, THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AS FAR AS

THE RESERVE GOES. >> WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH HERE IS A CONCENTRATION IN A SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRICT . THE BES WAY TO ANSWER THAT IS IF I WER TO PULL THE MONEY , I WOULD NOT SAY THEY ARE USING ALL OF IT , DEALT WITH THIS DISTRICT, SO I' LIKE PARENTS ARE COMPLAINING LIKE WHY DO WE KEEP THE PTAS WHO FUND THESE THINGS, WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR PAPER AND COPIER AND ALL OF THAT? WE HAVE THE BUDGET SO WE CAN DO THAT. COME TO FIND OUT , AND PRINCIPLES HO COME YOU GUYS DON'T USE OF THE FUNDS AND SOME PARENTS CANNOT BE IN THAT BOAT. WE FOUND OUT IN ORDER TO USE THOSE SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS, IT NEEDS TO BE SPECIFIC TO SOMETHING YOU WILL DO TO SUPPORT YOUR STUDENTS. SOMETIMES, WE DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH WHAT STUDENTS NEED REVISION THAT, WE JUST WANT TO GET OUR STUFF WITHOUT EXPLAININ BUT WE CANNOT REALLY USE THE FUNDS WITHOUT EXPLAINING. IT BECOMES EASIER BECAUSE THERE ARE NO RULES HOW YOU SPEND PTA FUNDS. THIS COMES DOWN TO THE SITES WITH TIER 1 FUNCTIONS AN TIER 2 FUNCTIONS, SO THAT WILL RESULT IN US USING THIS MORE EFFICIENTLY. IF WE ARE NOT CLEA ABOUT THOSE , OR I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THEY TELL THE PRINCIPAL WE CANNOT DO THIS, YE WE CAN. I WANT TO BUY CHAIRS, WHERE YOU CANNOT USE THIS MONEY TO BUY CHAIRS. YOU ARE STUCK AND PEOPLE ARE UPSET BECAUSE W DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE NOT USING ALL OF TH SITE FUNDS. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THAT AS WE GO BACK TO THE SITES AND SAY SPECIFICALLY HOW TO US THESE FUNDS AND HAVING CLARITY ABOUT HOW YOU HAVE SUPPORT WIT CONCENTRATION WITH THE RULES AND UTILIZE THE MONEY TO GET TH RESOURCES. THAT IS A PART OF OUR JOURNEY WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH. I AGREE WE SHOULD NOT GO TO PARENTS AND ASK FOR THING

[02:15:01]

>> JUST TO ELABORATE A LITTLE MORE ON DR. BEN DRATI'S COMMENT WITH ALLOWABLE EXPENSES, AS DR BEN DRATI IS SAYING, WE HAVE THE COMPLEMENT AS WELL AS TITL FUNDING. THAT FUNDING CANNOT B USED GLOBALLY FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL. IT IS YOUR GENERAL UNRESTRICTED FUNDING AND MOST O YOUR GENERAL UNRESTRICTED FUNDING GOES TO COVER THE GENERAL COST WHICH INCLUDES UTILITIES , TEACHER SALARIES, THINGS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFIED FOR THOSE UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS FOR EXAMPLE , TO BUY A COPY OR OUT OF CONCENTRATION OR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING IS NOT AN ALLOWABLE EXPENSE BECAUSE THE COPY MACHINE WILL BE USED FOR ALL OF THE STUDENTS. IT IS NOT AN ALLOWABLE EXPENSE UNDER TITLE. OUR SCHOOLS RECEIVE A LO OF THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE UNRESTRICTED FUNDING IS THE ONE THEY RECEIVE LESS OF BECAUSE IT IS TIED UP WITH ALL OF THE OPERATIONAL NEEDS THAT WE HAVE TO COVER FO ON A REGULAR BASIS. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE NEED TO MAKE SUR THEY CAN HELP TO SUPPORT THEM WITH ALL OF THE PAPERS, SO WE WILL LOOK INTO THAT A LITTLE BI

MORE. >> I HAVE TO JUMP ON WITH THE QUESTION, PIGGYBACKING OFF OF WHAT KIERSTEN SAID, HOW IS IT THAT, AND I SUBSTITUTE AT A LOT OF SCHOOLS, SO I AT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS , BUT HOW IS IT THEY HAVE NO CLINICS FOR THE LAST TW WEEKS OF SCHOOL ? WE WERE TOLD THREE YEARS AGO STOP ASKING PARENTS AND EVERYTHING, NO KLEENEX. THEY ARE USING JUNKIE PAPER TOWELS OUT OF THE DISPENSERS. THERE WAS A PERIOD WENT TO THE SCHOOL AND THEY HAD NO GLUE STICKS. THEY HAD FIRST-GRADERS . IF I HAD ALL OF THE MONEY IN THE WORLD, I WOULD GET IT FROM AMAZON AND BRING IT TO THAT GRADE LEVEL. I WAS TOL ASK THE PRINCIPAL AND DO WHATEVER. I REALIZE WHEN YOU HI APRIL AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL , THEIR BUDGET IS CLOSED. IF THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ALL OF THOSE MATERIALS, THEY DON'T HAV A BUDGET , BUT THEY CAN CONTACT THE DISTRICT AND SAY WE NEED HELP. THERE IS AN ILLNESS GOING THROUGH, THERE WAS A RESPIRATORY THING GOING THROUGH KIDS WERE USING CLINICS LIKE CRAZY AND WE TRIED TO TEACH THEM, YOU DON'T NEED FIVE OR EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH YOUR NOSE, BUT THEIR PARENTS ARE SENDING THEM THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL BOX AND WE START SCHOOL SOMETIMES WITHOUT THE APPROPRIATE CRAYONS. SCHOOLS DIDN'T HAVE THINGS THEY NEEDED TO HAVE. WHE WE ARE TALKING, THAT IS WHERE THE TRUST AND FRUSTRATION COMES , WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WE DON'T WANT TO ASK OUR PARENTS FOR THINGS, BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS OURSELVES ALL THE TIME.

>> LET ME EXPLAIN HOW I DEALT WITH THAT AND I DEALT WITH THIS PREVIOUSLY BUT GUESS WHAT I DID IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT BUDGET AND ALL OF THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF PRINCIPLES BRING IN THEIR SITE BUDGET TO TALK ABOU THESE THINGS, SO IF YOU ARE HAVING THAT CONVERSATION, WE DON'T HAVE KLEENEX, BUT YET YO HAVE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS I YOUR ACCOUNT, WHAT IS HAPPENING BETWEEN USING THE FUNDS TO BUY THAT STUFF? THERE SHOULD BE

MONEY LEFT OVER. >> JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS NO NEW, THAT IS WHY WE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE WE WERE ASKING KIDS TO BRING THINGS. I AGREE THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE THOS THINGS BUT WHEN I TAUGHT KINDERGARTEN FIVE YEARS AGO, I WAS GRATEFUL FOR THE PARENTS WHO WENT TO COSTCO AND BOUGHT A

CASE OF KLEENEX.. >> LET ME BE CLEAR, THAT IS OUR FAULT ON HOW TO BUY KLEENEX. W SHOULD NOT BE ASKING PARENTS. T ME, THAT IS WHEN PARENTS STOP TRUSTING THE DISTRICT AND THEN WE CANNOT PASS BONDS BECAUSE OF IT AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. IF THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NO MONEY, YET THERE IS MONEY IN TH ACCOUNT, THAT TELLS ME THERE IS CONFUSION.

>> PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE HOARDING OR THIS IS HAPPENING, I DON'T

CARE, WE JUST NEED THE TOOLS. >> IF I MAY, I FINALLY GET TO

[02:20:01]

[02:39:56]

[02:39:59]

[02:40:03]

[02:40:08]

>> YOUR GOAL IS TO HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO GET A WASH WITH YOUR REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES BUT BASED CURRENTLY ON WHAT YOU HAV TO BUDGET FOR BASED ON THE CURRENT STAFFING YOU HAVE BECAUSE YOUR REVENUE IS DROPPING, YOU WILL HAVE A DEFICIT SPENDING UNLESS HE MAD THE CUTS BEFORE AS DR. BEN DRATI SAID, THE MARCH 13TH, THERE WERE DIFFERENT THINGS LOOKING AT THAT BUT AGAIN BECAUSE YOU ARE CHANGING AND HOW YOUR BUDGET IS CHANGING AND SEEING THAT YOU HAVE AN ENDING FUND BALANCE THAT CAN SUPPORT SOME OF THAT IF YOU NEED TO GO INTO THAT, IT DOES NOT CALL FOR THE CUTS THEY NEED TO BE MADE BUT YOU SHOULD START LOOKING AT THAT.

>> WHAT I'M SAYING IS WHEN I LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND WE SPECIFY THROUGH TRAINING 2023-2024 AND 25 AND 26, YET WHEN WE LOOK AT THE ENDING FUND WE ARE IN THE GREEN, NOT THE

RED. >> CORRECT. I WILL SAY A LOT OF THE DEFICIT SPENDING AND WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT A SMALLER AMOUNT BY SOME OF THE DEFICIT FUNDING IS OUR CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS SPECIAL ED. WE DO NOT GET ENOUGH FOR OUR SPECIAL ED BECAUSE WE HAVE TO COVER THAT WITH OUR UNRESTRICTED FUNDS .

>> I WANTED TO CLARIFY SOME THINGS THAT I WAS HEARING THAT WAS NOT MISREAD OR INTERPRETED OR MISINTERPRETED TALKING ABOU WORKING IN THE RED, IT IS NOT NORMAL, AND YET FOR OUR DISTRICTS, IT HAS TO BE OTHER DISTRICTS BUT WE ALWAYS COME INTO THE GREEN BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO JUSTIFY FUNDS AND WE AR ABLE TO HAVE THAT SUPPORTING THAT.

>> WE ARE ABLE TO TRANSFER FUND AS NEEDED. THE OTHER PART IS THAT YOUR A.D.A. IS DROPPING S YOU ARE GETTING LESS REVENUE HOWEVER STILL OPERATING IN THE SAME WAY. THAT IS WHERE THE DEFICIT SPENDING COMES INTO PLAY.

>> WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT OVERALL OPERATIONS, WE ARE SEEING HOW WE NEED TO BE MORE LIEN IN THE PROCESS. MEETING

OUR STUDENTS ACADEMIC NEEDS. >> CORRECT.

>> THANK YOU. >> WITH THAT PROCESS, THE BEST THING WE CAN DO WITH THE ORGANIZATION IS GETTING WITH TH PEOPLE INVOLVED TO UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS AND SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH COVID-19 THAT HAPPENED WITH SHAKING EVERYBOD WITH HAVING THE MONEY THAT CAM IN THAT CONFLATED WITH ALL KINDS OF HAVOC , IF YOU WERE NO IN A SITUATION WITH HAVING THES READY AS A SYSTEM, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN WHERE DID ALL OF THIS MONEY COME FROM AND THE RULES BEHIND THAT, ALL OF A SUDDEN PEOPLE ARE PISSED OFF BUT THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET AROUND THAT PIECE IS , LET'S JUST SAY WE GO THROUGH THIS EXERCISE AND BECOME TO A PLACE WHERE WE ARE TIED WITH EXPENDITURES OR REVENUES AND EVERYBODY KNOWS AND PEOPLE KNOWS THIS EXISTS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PARTNER WITH SOMEONE WH IS CLEAR , LET'S SAY ANOTHER PANDEMIC CONS COMES, YOU CAN SAY THIS IS OUR SITUATION AND THESE ARE THE NEW FUNDS AND LE ME EXPLAIN WHY BUT YOU CAN AT LEAST HAVE A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE RESERVE IS THE WAY IT IS. WITHOUT THAT, YOU WILL STRUGGLE TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION AND PEOPLE GET PISSE OFF, SO THE BEST WAY IS WHERE WE CAN BE TRANSPARENT AND GET PEOPLE ENGAGED IN THESE CONVERSATIONS. THIS SUMMER, I WILL THINK THROUGH WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COMMUNICATE AND WHAT EXERCISE DO WE NEED TO DISCUSS THEIR NEEDS AND SUPPORT AND ALL OF THAT AND HOW WE TRIANGULATE THE DISTRICT BUDGET TO THAT SO THAT WAY THERE IS N CONFUSION. NEXT TIME AROUND THI TIME NEXT YEAR, IF THERE IS MONEY PARKED SOMEWHERE, I WANT TO SAY REMEMBER WE PARKED IT HERE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT.

I'M HEARING THIS AND I WANT TO GET PAST THIS THING SO WE CAN GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE ARE IN A EXCELLENT PLACE WHERE WE CAN

BE. >> THANK YOU. DR. STUART.

[02:45:06]

>> FIRST, I WANT TO AGREE WITH MS. ARMSTRONG THAT I THINK THER IS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR DAT AND I THINK THE DATA STARTS WIT OUR BOARD AND I THINK WE NEED T LOOK AT MORE DATA IN OUR BOARD MEETINGS. SECONDLY, I DON'T KNO IF WE ARE HIDING MONEY, I'M NOT SAYING THAT AT ALL, BUT IT IS KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE EDUCATIONA FIELD THAT THAT IS WHERE THE MONEY IS HITTING HIDDEN, WE ARE GOING FROM 27 TO 28 MILLION. I THINK THAT IS EXCEPTIONAL TO QUESTION THAT BECAUSE WHEN I BECAME A BOARD MEMBER, I STARTE QUESTIONING THAT. THIS IS SHOWING THEM HOW IT WORKS. I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION IS I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN TH DIFFERENCE OR MAYBE GIVE EXAMPLES OF SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDIN

VERSUS CONCENTRATED FUNDING . >> SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING IS A FUNDING ONCE YOU GET , WELL FIRST OF ALL YOU HAVE ENOUGH STUDENTS THAT ARE CONSIDERED UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS OF 55% .

IF YOU HAVE A HIGHER NUMBER AS MS. CARTER EXPLAINED THAT IN REGARDS TO THE LCAP PROCESS, THEN YOU ADDITIONALLY GET CONCENTRATION FUNDING. SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING , IF MS. CARTER WANTS TO ADD A LITTLE BI THERE.

>> SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING IS FOR UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS. BECAUSE WE HAVE ENGLISH LEARNERS, LOW INCOME, FOSTER YOUTH STUDENTS, WE RECEIVED SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDIN BECAUSE WE HAVE ABOVE 55% AND WE RECEIVE CONCENTRATION FUNDING.

>> CAN YOU GIVE EXAMPLES OF WHA SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING WOULD BE USED FOR? JUST A RANDOM NORMAL THING THAT A NORMAL PERSON CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT A NORMAL PERSON LIKE ME CAN UNDERSTAND PICKS B SUPPLEMENTAL CONCENTRATION FUNDING IS SIMILAR AND BID CAN BE USED FOR SIMILAR THINGS. THA IS TO INCREASE AND IMPROVE SERVICES TO UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS, HOWEVER YOU COULD LOO AT IT LIKE TIER 2 INTERVENTION FOR STUDENTS COULD BE SUPPLEMENTAL AND THAT TEARS THE TIER 3 WHERE I'M MEETING THE MORE EXCESSIVE SUPPORT COULD B A CONCENTRATION PIECE THAT IS

NEEDED. >> FOR EXAMPLE , THE WAY THE COUNTY LOOKS AT US AND REMEMBER THE TERM IS THIS MONEY PRINCIPALLY SUPPORTING THE STUDENTS AND DUPLICATED

STUDENTS? >> THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS

ALTOGETHER. >> THE COUNTY WITH HOW WE SPEN THE MONEY AND THEY SAY OH GOD, YOU ARE SPENDING THIS MONEY TOWARDS A STUDENT , OR YOU ARE TREATING THIS AS GENERAL EDUCATION FUNDS LIKE HIRING A TEACHER TO TEACH ENGLISH, YOU CANNOT USE THAT , YOU HAVE TO USE GENERAL FUND MONIES BUT IF YOU SAY WE NEED TO HIRE AN INTERVENTION TO SUPPORT THE TEACHER, THEN YOU CAN USE CONCENTRATION BECAUSE THAT IS ADDITIONAL FUNDS BUT YOU HAVE T SAY WHO IS THE INTERVENTIONAL LIST WORKING WITH? IF YOU ARE CONCENTRATION DISTRICT, IT IS EASY TO EXPLAIN THAT THE MAJORITY OF YOUR SCHOOL IS BEING SUPPORTED THAT WAY AND I YOU WERE A SUPPLEMENTAL SCHOOL AND YOU DON'T HAVE SCHOOL WIDE SUPPORT FOR THAT, THEN YOU HAVE TO TARGET SPECIFIC FOR THE STUDENTS AND THAT IS WHEN IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO SAY HOW DO YOU USE THOSE FUNDS. I WILL NO NAME WHO IT WAS, BUT WE WANT T BUY CHAIRS OR DESKS , WE NEED NEW DESKS , AND WE WILL NOT GET THAT APPROVED , BUT THERE IS A WAY TO POSSIBLY WRITE THAT WHERE THERE IS A CERTAIN FORM O DESKS THAT WILL CREATE A SPACE WITH THAT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I IS NOT NORMAL TEACHING BUT THA IS WITH INCREASED ENGAGEMENT, THAT WAY SPECIFIC TO A FUNCTIO THAT WILL SUPPORT THOSE STUDENT SO YOU HAVE TO WRITE IT OUT THAT WAY.

>> GO AHEAD. >> BACK ON BOARD MEMBERS QUESTION, WOULD IT BE EVEN EASIER TO PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE O THE UNDUPLICATED FUNDS IN SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS , FOR EXAMPLE, FOR A STUDENT WITH SPECIAL NEEDS?

>> THE SUPPLEMENTAL CONCENTRATION FUNDING IS DIRECTED TO DUPLICATED STUDENTS, SO THAT STUDENTS WIT SPECIAL NEEDS. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN FUNDING AND THAT IS OUT OF

OUR GENERAL FUND. >> MANAGE FOSTER YOUTH WITH

[02:50:06]

>> MY NEXT QUESTION IS NOT NUMBERED, I'M SORRY BUT ON THE 22-23 EXPENDITURES AND OTHER OUTGO, I KNOW THAT WHEN TWO 22,000 TO WEEKEND 5069%. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? CAN YOU

EXPLAIN THAT TO ME? >> THAT IS BASED ON OUR INDIREC COSTS. THAT HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED BECAUSE WE DON'T HAV THE FINAL NUMBERS ON THAT, SO THIS IS ON THE PROPOSED THAT TH NUMBER WILL CHANGE WHEN WE COME TO FIRST INTERIM.

>> PROPOSING 209,000, THAT IS A CREDIT , SO HOW DO WE PROPOSE

THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? >> BECAUSE WE WILL BE CHARGING INDIRECT FEES AND THOSE INDIREC FEES ARE WHEN WE ARE MANAGING THE FUNDS FOR DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS LIKE SUPPLEMENTAL CONCENTRATION AND TITLE FUNDS, WE WERE ABLE TO COLLECT INDIREC

FEES ON THAT. >> SORRY. I'M GOING THROUGH VER

FAST. >> JUST ONE QUESTION, I KNOW YO SAID WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT TH CURRENT YEAR, YOU SAID IN JUNE THERE WOULD BE A RETRO, WOULD THAT BE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION?

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> THANK YOU. I THINK THAT WAS

IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER

CRITCHFIELD PLEASE >> THANK YOU , MADAM PRESIDENT.

FIRST, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE THAT SPOKE TONIGHT IT HAS ONLY BEEN SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS SINCE I HAVE BEEN UP HERE AND A LOT OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE ARE HAPPY OVER THERE ARE CONVERSATIONS I WAS HAVING WITH A LOT OF YOU . FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, A LOT OF THOS CONCERNS , THEY HAVE NOT GOT AWAY, BUT I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT WHY AND HOW THINGS ARE DONE AND I'M CONFIDENT WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS GETTING BETTER AND YOU DO HAVE A BOARD THAT, WITH LOVE, HOLDS HEAT TO THE FIRE AND I FEEL CONFIDENT ABOU THE DIRECTION WE ARE GOING AND A LOT OF THE THINGS SAID TONIGH , I KNOW DR. BEN DRATI IS AWAR OF AND I HAVEN'T HEARD HIM SPEA ABOUT AND I THINK ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS HE TOLD ME WHEN I ASKED HIM IN REFERENCE TO A SENSE OF RESERVES WAS IT IS A NECESSITY TO SPEND THIS YEAR'S MONEY ON THIS YEAR'S KIDS. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE AS A BOARD CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THIS BUT IT ONLY HELPS WHEN WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS AN HEAR FROM EVERYBODY. I APPRECIATE YOU FOR KEEPING US ACCOUNTABLE TO MAKE SURE OUR

[02:55:01]

THAT'S ALL I GOT.. >> THANK YOU BOARD MEMBER

CRITCHFIELD. >> I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, I I CAN DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION OVER HERE. IN THE RESERVES, MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE PRESERV PRESENTED OUR DISTRICT WOULD NEED IN ORDER TO BUDGET FOR IN ORDER TO FINISH THE SCHOOL

YEAR? >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND, THE REQUIRED RESERVE IS AT LEAST 3%.

>> YES, BUT THAT DOES NOT TAKE US WORST-CASE SCENARIO.

>> WE HAVE TO USE RESERVES FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. 3% WOULD GET YOU A MONTH AND A HALF.

>> A MONTH AND A HALF, SO WE HAVE NINE MONTHS IN A SCHOOL

YEAR? >> NO, WE HAVE 12 MONTHS BECAUSE WE HAVE 12 MONTH EMPLOYEES, IT IS JUST THE FISCA YEAR STARTS JULY 21ST AND ENDS ON JUNE 30TH.

>> SO WHEN THAT HAPPENS , WE AR LOOKING AT A SIZABLE AMOUNT THA IF, FOR SOME REASON WE NEED TO USE OUR RESERVES, THEN THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT IS SHOWN HERE.

SOME REASON THE STATE STOPPED GIVING A PORTION AND THANKING YOU IN PROVIDING YOU AND YOU AR GOING INTO THE RESERVES TO GET THE REVENUE BECAUSE AS YOU SAW IN THE PAGE IN TERMS OF ACTUAL TO DATE, THE PAGE IS CURRENT VERSUS YEAR TO DATE ACTUALS, FO EXAMPLE , WE ARE SLATED TO GET TOTAL OF 195 MILLION , BUT YEAR TO DATE, WE HAVE ONLY RECEIVED 163. SO, THE STATE ALLOCATES YOUR PORTIONS STARTING WITH 5% AND CONTINUES WITH A 9% IN TERM OF ALLOCATIONS UNTIL YOU GET TO YOUR FINAL ALLOCATIONS. AS YOU DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE CASH FLOW TO COMPENSATE FOR WHAT HA NOT BEEN GIVEN TO YOU. THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT YOU ARE MONITORING THE CASH FLOW AND MAKING SURE YOU HAVE THE FUNDIN THERE. LOOKING AT WHAT YOUR MONTHLY EXPENDITURES ARE, WE AR LOOKING AT MONTHLY EXPENDITURE ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 15 MILLION.

>> BY THE WAY. THAT QUESTION THAT IS NOT IT, BUT AS A BOAR MEMBER, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE W ARE THINKING ABOUT TYPES OF SCENARIOS. THANK YOU FOR THAT. NOW IF WE CAN GO TO THE PAGE WHERE IT IS THE 2022 AND 2023 YEAR TO DATE ACTUALS, AT ONE POINT AND MAYBE I ALREADY ASKED THIS QUESTION, NOW I'M GETTING OLD AND CANNOT REMEMBER, EVERY QUESTION I ASKED WAS WITHIN TH LAST TWO YEARS BUT I WAS TOLD THE BEGINNING OF MY EMPLOYMENT WITH BUSD THAT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL BUDGET FOR DUAL EMERGEN , IS THERE STILL THAT BUDGET , AND WHERE WOULD IT LIVE?

>> THERE IS A BUDGET FOR DUAL EMERGENT, IT IS A GOAL WITH OUR LCAP AND WE HAVE A DISTRICT BUDGET BUT BOTH OF OUR SITES, ALL THREE OF OUR SITES WOULD HAVE A BUDGET THAT THEY CAN UTILIZE AS WELL. EXPECT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IN TERMS O THE ACTUAL BUDGET, THAT WOULD B EMBEDDED IN YOUR SALARIES BUT ALSO YOUR CLASSIFIED SALARIES AND EMBEDDED IN YOUR BOOKS AND SUPPLIES BECAUSE WHAT WE DO IS TAKE THOSE BUDGET EXPENDITURES AND PUT THEM INTO A OBJECT CODE THAT THEY BELONG TO BASED ON TH LCAP INFORMATION AND BASED ON THE BUDGET BEING USED, SO IT IS COMPILED, SO IT WOULD BE IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS REGARDING

ACTIONS. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT DOES

[03:00:05]

>> I WOULD NEED TO LOOK AT THAT BUT AS DR. BEN DRATI SAID, THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE BEEN MONOPOLY IN TERMS OF BALANCES.

YOU MIGHT RECALL LAST YEAR, I KNOW WE DID PRESENT IN REGARDS TO ENDING FUND BALANCES AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA GROUP, CALIFORNIA SERVICES SHARED THAT INFORMATION AND THAT IS DUE TO THE COVID-19 AS WELL AS MARCH OF 2020 WHICH ENDED THE YEAR THERE, NOT ALL OF THE EXPENDITURES CAME TO FRUITION BECAUSE SCHOOL WAS NOT IN SESSION AND WE HAD YEARS OF CLOSURE. THIS IS A REVISION PRESENTATION, THIS WAS THE FIRS YEAR THEY SAW A DECLINE IN AN DEEP FUND BALANCES IN A WHILE

BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN GOING. >> THANK YOU. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE INFORMATION. THANK YOU MIKE. ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD WA REGARDING THE SERP FUNDS , WHERE DOES THAT WITH ?

>> RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NOT BUDGETED ANY CARRYOVER FUNDING.

ONCE WE CLOSE THE BOOK , THAT WILL COME INTO THE EXPENDITURES HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE ALLOCATED IT, SOME OF IT IS ON SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2023 BUT SOME IS ALLOCATED TO END ON 2024 UNDER

YOUR FEDERAL FUNDING. >> SO, IN HERE, THE BUDGET 2022-2023 YEAR, THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IS WHAT YOU ARE SAYING YES, BUT NOT THE WHOLE TOTAL FUNDING WE GOT.

>> YES, BECAUSE WE GOT THAT IN SEPARATE YEARS.

>> IS IT RIGHT FOR ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THEN WE WOULD HAVE LESS FUNDING WITHIN THIS CATEGORY OF FEDERAL REVENUE WHEN THOSE AND SUB FUNDS GO AWA PERMANENTLY?

>> CORRECT. >> HOW MUCH LESS WOULD THAT BE THAT DOWN, I WOULD HAVE TO GET THE EXACT NUMBER FOR YOU. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHIN INCORRECT. WE RECEIVED CLOSE T 52 MILLION . I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER MEMORIZED BUT BREAKING THAT DOWN BY THE VARIOUS ERAS, SO LET ME GET AN ACCURATE NUMBE

FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU. THAT IS FINE.

ALSO, WHAT ARE WE FUNDING , REMINDING ME, WHAT IS IT THAT WE TAKE OUT OF THESE SERP FUNDS? WHAT ARE WE USING THE MONEY FOR TO FUND OUR SCHOOLS?

>> FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE NOT USE ANY OF OUR SERP FINDINGS O ANY OF OUR COSTS. SOME HAVE USE THAT FOR ONGOING COSTS HOWEVER IT IS SAID THAT ONGOING MONEY SHOULD NOT BE USED ON ONGOING COSTS. WE HAVE USED THAT FUNDIN TO PROVIDE EXTRA TUTORING WHEN THAT COMES TO STUDENTS BUT CAPITAL PROJECTS. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR OUTDOOR SHELTERS, OUR VENTILATION SYSTEMS, GETTING NE HVAC UNITS, WE ARE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE STATE TO APPROV SOME PROJECTS IF YOU CALL THE FACILITIES PRESENTATION, I SHARED WE WERE WAITING FOR OUR PLAYGROUNDS TO BE APPROVED, THA WOULD BE A A SERB EXPENDITURE. WE RECEIVED APPROVAL FOR MARQUISE AT OUR SCHOOL SITES, SO WE WILL USE SOME OF THAT FUNDING TO DO THOSE THINGS. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO USE THIS MORE ON THOSE BECAUSE DR. BEN DRATI FUNDING FOR SERP FUNDING HAS TO BE USED FOR COMMUNICATIO PURPOSES OR COVID-19 NEEDS, SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE IDENTIFIE WAS COMMUNICATION IMPROVING TH INFORMATION TO GO OUT BUT OUTDOOR LEARNING SPACES WHICH I WHY WE WERE ABLE TO DO THE SHELTERS.

>> THANK YOU. COULD YOU CONFIR THAT WE ARE NOT USING THESE SER FUNDS FOR OUR LITERACY SPECIALISTS THAT ARE OUT OF TH

[03:05:01]

CLASSROOMS? >> THAT IS APP UNDER OUR LCAP AND MRS. CARTER CAN CONFIRM THAT WITH OUR ACTION AND.

>> IT IS LCAP, I DON'T WANT TO CONFIRM THAT WITH ACTION AND .

DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU THE WRON ONE BUT THAT IS INCLUDING OUR INTERVENTION TEACHERS AS WELL WITH A LITTLE CONCENTRATION.

>> SO, THAT WOULD BE THE SAME SO WHAT ABOUT OUR NEW

COUNSELORS ON THE CAMPUS? >> THE ADDITIONAL COUNSELORS I PART OF OUR LCAP AS WELL. IT I AN ADDITIONAL CONCENTRATION FUNDING THAT WE ARE UTILIZING.

>> THANK YOU. I'M JUST THINKING AHEAD AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE W CAN CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE I BENEFITED THEM FOR MY OWN THOUGHT PROCESS.

>> THAT IS WHY WE DID NOT WANT TO USE SERP FUNDS. WE TRIED OU HARDEST NOT TO USE THIS ON SALARIES. EXTRA HOURS OR ONE-TIME THINGS, YOU CAN USE SOME OF THAT BUT WITH ONGOING COSTS , THAT IS NOT WHAT WE AR USING OUR SERP FUNDS ON .

>> THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> THE AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMMING DOES THAT COME OUT OF SERP

FUNDS? >> NO, THAT IS EXPENDED GREAT OPPORTUNITY LEARNING. WE ARE HEARING NO MORE QUESTIONS. I

DAY. >> THAT'S YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. I WROTE AND REWROTE MY COMMENTS BECAUSE I WANTED IT TO BE POSITIVE AND IT WILL BE POSITIV BUT I WAS NOT EXACTLY SURE WHA YOU SAID HERE OR WHAT YOU NEEDE TO HEAR SO I WILL GO BACK TO WHEN I LAST SPOKE WITH YOU AND THANKED YOU FOR OUR RAZORS AND OUR NEGOTIATED TEAM. SINCE THEN WE HAD OUR ANNUAL MEMBER RECOGNITION BANQUET WHICH DR.

BEN DRATI ATTENDED WITH US. TWO OF THE MEMBERS WERE ACKNOWLEDGE TO AREA G UNSUNG HERO, SHE I OUR VP AND ANGELA NUNEZ WITH RISING STAR . WE GOT A LOT OF COMMENTS FOR SUPERINTENDENT. SH WAS NOT THE ONLY SUPERINTENDENT WHO ATTENDED SO IT WAS NICE.

CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE WEEK, WE HA OUR PICNIC. EVERY YEAR WAS SOMETHING I REALLY LIKE AS WE GIVE OUT SCHOLARSHIPS TO OUR MEMBERS, FAMILIES OVER THEMSELVES WHO HAVE GONE OUT TO THE SCHOOL AND WE GAVE OUT TO FASHION BECAUSE THEY WERE THE GODOT AND ERICA, I WILL MESS UP HER NAME , AND PART OF THE WAY WE RAISE MONEY IS THROUGH DONATIONS AND THROUGH A 50-50 RAFFLE WHICH EVERYBODY REALLY LOVED, SO WE MADE OVER $300.00 DOING THAT. WE ALSO HAVE SOME CABINET MEMBERS COME OVER TO

[03:10:02]

MUCH. >> THANK YOU

>> BTA DECIDED TO GO ON THEIR OWN.

>> COME ON UP. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, THANK YOU MIKE FOR PUTTING US ON THE AGENDA. WE JUST MET WITH DR. BE DRATI THIS MORNING. I FORMALLY HEARD WE WERE ON THE AGENDA, SO WE WILL HAVE CARRIE MCDANIEL WHEN SHE BECOMES THE PRESIDENT, SHE WILL GO AHEAD AND DO A PRESENTATION SIMILAR TO THAT.

CLARIFICATION FOR YOU ALL, YES, I RETIRED, BUT I DON'T FINISH MY TERM UNTIL JUNE 30TH. I'M STILL ON THE JOB AND THE SUPERINTENDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE CABINETS TRYING TO WRAP TH YEAR UP TO COVER SOME DIFFEREN THINGS. I JUST CHAT . I REALL APPRECIATE THE MOVE TOWARD A MORE POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE. I LOVE THE BOARD. IT HAS BEEN VER EXCITING , ALL OF THE THINGS ABOUT CHANGE, I LOVE THE DECISION OF SIDE BASED DECISION-MAKING AND GIVING PEOPLE THE AUTHORITY AND AUTONOMY TO LOOK AT THEIR POPULATIONS AND SEE WHAT THEIR SCHOOLS NEED. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT, I HAVE TOLD DR. BEN DRATI ABOUT THAT . I THINK OVER THE YEARS, IN MY OPINION, WE HAVE BECOME MUCH TOO TOPPED OUT AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE LEADERSHIP TEAMS CHANGE BACK T REPRESENTATIVE GRADE LEVELS, ANOTHER APPLICATIONS ARE NOT SE UP THAT WAY, THEY ARE STILL SET UP THE OLD-STYLE, BUT WITH MY REPRESENTATIVE WAS A PERSON THA WAS K-3 AND WE NEVER HEARD FRO THEM IN KINDERGARTEN, SO WE WER NOT REPRESENTED VERY WELL SO I' EXCITED TO SEE THAT HAPPENING.

THE BEST PEOPLE TO MAKE THOSE KINDS OF DECISIONS IN MOST CASE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE FRONT LINES, THE PEOPLE OUT OF SIGHT WHO CAN IDENTIFY THEIR SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AND I LIKE HO YOU SAY GET SOME HELP AND THEN SAY, HEY, WE DID A TRAINING WITH THIS. MAYFAIR DID A TRAINING WHERE THE TEACHERS CAME BACK ON TIMECARDS AND IT WAS EXCITING HEARING CARRIE TAL ABOUT IT. THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS WE DO, BUT WHEN WE MAKE THE DECISION, WE BUY IN BETTER YOU GET BY IN WHEN PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PART OF THE PROCESS AND IT COULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE. WE WERE SITE BASED DECISION-MAKING 20 YEAR AGO AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS ALL CHANGED BUT SOME WAS INSTITUTIONAL MEMORY AND AS I GO , I WILL STILL BE AROUND, BU 22 DAYS, YOU ARE NOT RID OF ME YET. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS. BOARD MEMBER

ARMSTRONG. >> I WENT TO ALL OF THEIR

[03:15:09]

>> BOARD MEMBER STUART. >> THE FIRST I ATTENDED WAS MAY 27TH AND THIS WAS A DEDICATION CEREMONY. THIS PLAQUE IS PUT I FRONT OF OUR CITY HALL. THERE I AN AREA ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE LIBRARY IF YOU KNOW AND IT WAS TO ALLOW OR HONOR THE BELLFLOWER ALUM THAT WERE KILLED. I JOINED MY PARTNERS, AND COOPS, AND MAYOR SANTA INE AND IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. THE ENSEMBLE WERE BEAUTIFUL AND THE SANG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. A LOT OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS CAME AND SPOKE ABOUT SOME OF THEIR CLASSMATES AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DIED IN THIS, SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE OUR COUNTRY AND YOU GUYS ARE A BLESSING FOR WHAT YOU DO AND THE FACT THAT YOU PROTECT OUR COUNTRY AND OTHERS. I THINK THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL EVENT. I ATTENDED ALL THREE GRADUATIONS. SUNSET, BELLFLOWER AND MAYFAIR WITH OUR COLLEAGUES, HUGE CONGRATS TO TH CLASS OF 2023. THE CEREMONIES WERE AWESOME. I HAD A GREAT TIM BEING ON STAGE CONGRATULATING STUDENTS AND MEETING BEFORE HAN WITH OUR EXECUTIVE CABINET AND OUR COLLEAGUES GETTING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER AND WE AR STILL NEW LEARNING EACH OTHER SO THAT WAS A FUN TIME FOR ME. THIS PAST SATURDAY, I WENT TO A WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT AT PROGRESS PARK IN PARAMOUNT HOSTED BY DR.

LINDA TIMMONS, MAYOR ISABEL WAS THERE ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE PARAMOUNT CITY COUNCIL, BRENDA AND ANNETTE, PEGGY AND BILL MCGUIRE STALLINGS . PARAMOUNT I ONE OF THE FEW CITIES THAT HAS ALL WOMEN'S CITY COUNCIL WHICH I THINK IS AMAZING. THEY HAD A COUPLE OF THEIR BOARD MEMBERS. WAS ABLE TO MEET AND TALK WITH THEIR BOARD PRESIDENT DIANE MARTINEZ AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFU AND INSPIRING EVENT. I WAS ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH POWERFUL LEADERS AND GREAT WOMEN. THAT WAS A FUN TIME. I ADDED TWO BULLETS AS WE HAVE BEEN HERE BACK I WANTED TO SAY I HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR PRAYERS PRIOR BOARD STUDENT MEMBER CHRISTOPHER MENDOZA AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TALKING MORE ABOUT THAT POSITION. I HAVE LIKED THE THINGS I'VE HEARD FRO HIM. I BELIEVE STUDENT AND PUT ON OUR BOARD IS VERY IMPORTANT AND SO I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARIN FROM HIM HOPEFULLY SOON ABOUT HIS THOUGHTS AND I BELIEVE HE HAS , OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN HIM FOR A LONG TIME, HE IS AMAZING, HE ASKS THE BEST QUESTIONS AND IS SMART BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HIS PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE THIS IS HIS POSITION WE ARE REPLACING.

WHETHER WE AGREE OR NOT, I THIN WE NEED TO HEAR THE PERSPECTIVE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THAT FROM HIM AND OTHERS IN THE FUTURE. I ALSO DO READ MY BOOK BUT I DID NOT KNOW YOU GUYS WER PRESENTING TONIGHT, PTA AND CSEA SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE THAT AND HAVE YOU GUYS ON. THIS IS SOMETHING A LOT OF OTHER DISTRICTS DO. IT HELPS WITH US HEARING ABOUT NEGOTIATIONS, BARGAINING AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND I THINK THE MORE WE WORK TOGETHER, THE BETTER. I'M EXCITED TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.

TODAY WAS MY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT SUMMER BREAK. I'M TAKING SUMMER SCHOOL EIGHTH GRADE MATH. I'M EXCITED TO GET BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM AND I HOPE IF YOU ARE NOT TEACHING THAT YOU HAVE AN AMAZING SUMMER AND IF YOU ARE, HOPE IT IS FUN AND ALL OF THE KIDS ARE AMAZING. THANK YOU SO

I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES SENTIMENTS AS WELL AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY WE ARE GOING THROUGH A TRANSFORMATION I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY OF THAT AND THROUGH THOSE TRANSFORMATIONS, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING AND CHANGE I NEVER WITHOUT THAT PAIN, BUT I KNOW AND I CAN ALREADY SEE IF YOU LOOK AT OUR AGENDAS, WE HA A PUBLIC HEARING WHERE YOU COULD COME UP AND GIVE US OUR ACTUAL IDEAS AND INPUT , THAT I EXACTLY WHERE WE WANT TO TAKE THIS DISTRICT. I THINK IT WILL BE KIND OF ROCKY GETTING TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE , JUST MY OBSERVATIONS FROM WHAT IS GOING ON, IT MIGHT TAKE US ABOUT TWO YEARS AND THAT IS REALITY. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE A BOARD THAT WANTS TO AND WILL LISTEN. YOU HAVE A STAFF THAT IS PUTTING IN THOSE EXTRA HOURS, THEY ARE GIVING YOU YOU PRESENTATIONS, THEY ARE MORE ACCESSIBLE. SUPERINTENDENT WHO HAS A PLAN, I THINK WE ARE IN A UNIQUE POSITION WHERE WE CAN MAKE THOSE PROFOUND CHANGES FO OUR KIDS AND WE WILL FIND THE REVENUE THAT WE NEED BUT IT WIL TAKE ALL OF US. IT REALLY IS.

I'M WILLING TO CONTINUE THE STRUGGLE AND THE FIGHT SO THAT WAY WE CAN SHOW WE ARE WORKING FOR OUR KIDS AND THAT TEACHERS ARE DOING IT AND OUR CLIENTS AN STAFF MEMBERS ARE DOING IT AND EVERYONE FROM THE TOP ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIM . WITH THAT SAID , I ALSO WANT TO MAKE A PSA ANNOUNCEMENT , IF THERE ARE ANY TEACHERS OUT THER THAT ARE INTERESTED IN CHANGE AND MAKING SURE WE HAVE THE INPUT AND WANT TO JOIN A TEAM AND THE DISTRICT THAT WAS GOIN THROUGH THE CHANGE THAT THEY REALLY WANT TO SEE, COME TALK T US. IF YOU HAVE ANY FRIENDS THAT ARE WILLING TO MAKE THAT TYPE OF CHANGE, PLEASE LET THEM KNOW WE ARE HERE TO TALK TO THE . IT IS AT MY DOORSTEP. I GOT DOWNY CAR FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL AND I'M UPSET.
