[1. CALL TO ORDER IN PUBLIC SESSION]

[2. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGENDA]

[00:00:34]

TONIGHT, WE DO NOT HAVE A REQUEST ADDRESSING THE AGENDA ITEMS . DO WE HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS TO THIS EVENING'S

AGENDA? >> WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE TITLE OF ITEM 6.1. IT SHOULD READ RESOLUTIONS ORDERED BY LINEAL GOVERNING BOARD ELECTION.

>> A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

>> HOLD ON, ONE MOMENT, WE HAVE AN ECHO. REPLACEMENT PAGES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR THIS ITEM. IT WAS ALL ON THE BACK TABLE.

>> LINK FOR THAT. DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT DR. RYAN SMITH

WILL BE LEAVING US IN THE --. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENTS.

EVERYBODY, PLEASE RISE. PUT YOUR HAND OVER YOUR HEART.

READY, BEGIN. >> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD THANK YOU, DR. SMITH.

[4.1 CONTRACT WITH PREMIER SPEAKERS BUREAU]

>> MOVING ON TO THE DISCUSSION ITEM. WE HAVE DISCUSSION ITEM ON THE CONTRACT SPEAKERS BUREAU. DO WE NEED ANY

INFORMATION ON IT? >> GOOD EVENING. WE HAVE A CONTRACT COMING TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL AS REQUESTED PREVIOUSLY. ANY CONTRACT TO BE ESTABLISHED OUTSIDE THE TEMPLATE WILL NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL. THE CONTRACTS FOR PREMIER SPEAKERS FALLS OUTSIDE OF OUR APPROVED TEMPLATES. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE GENERAL ATTORNEY WILL PROVIDE YOU SOME BACKGROUND TO THIS CONTRACT.

>> THANK YOU, MDM. SUPERINTENDENT. ITEM WAS BROUGHT BEFORE YOU BECAUSE IT DEVIATES FROM THE CONTRACT THE BOARD APPROVED LAST YEAR. THERE ARE CERTAIN PROVISIONS WITHIN THIS CONTRACT. THAT WERE TROUBLESOME TO ME. BUT, THE REALITY IS? THESE ARE GENERAL BOILERPLATE CONTRACTS. THE AGENCY THAT GATHERS THE SPEAKERS? THEY HAVE A SET TERM.

THAT THEY PROVIDE. THEY DON'T DEVIATE FROM THAT TERM. EVEN IF WE WANTED THEM TO GO WITH OUR CONTRACT, THEY WOULD SAY, NO.

AND BASICALLY THEY WOULD MOVE ON. I WANTED TO BRING IT UP AS A TEST CASE BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN CONTRACTS WITH IN THE DISTRICT THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET VENDORS TO CONFORM TO THE TEMPLATE WE PROVIDE. MAINLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW? THE BARGAINING POWER IS IN THEIR HANDS. IF WE WANT THE SERVICE, THE PROVIDE THE SERVICE THEREFORE THEY HAVE LEVERAGE WHEN IT COMES TO TERMS THEY OFFER FOR THAT SERVICE. OTHER CONTRACTS DIFFER GREATLY FROM THIS ONE. BUT I DID WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN PROVISIONS IN THEIR THAT WOULD BASICALLY OPEN UP THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LIABILITY SHOULD SOMETHING OCCUR. HOWEVER. YOU KNOW? PRETTY MUCH EVERY ENGAGEMENT THAT THIS CERTAIN AGENCY DOES AND LET THEM, THE CONTRACTS ARE SIMILAR. I WANTED TO NOTIFY THE BOARD THAT'S, YOU KNOW. THERE ARE THINGS IN THE CONTRACT THAT ARE CONCERNING. BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION AND THE WAY RELATIONSHIPS WORK, IT IS ONE WHERE WE DON'T HAVE LEVERAGE TO FORCE THEM TO CHANGE ANY OF THE TERMS.

>> THANK YOU. DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD OR ANY QUESTIONS?

MRS. STEWART? >> TELL ME SOME OF THE CONCERNS

PLEASE? >> YES. BASICALLY IN THE CANCELLATION FOR EXAMPLE, IF WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE EVENT DATES, THERE'S A CANCELLATION, WE SURRENDER THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE ENGAGEMENT WHICH IS $18,000. GENERALLY, YOU LOOK FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE FAVORABLE CANCELLATION POLICY. EVEN IF THE SPEAKER IS UNAVAILABLE, THEY WILL FIND REPLACEMENTS.

AND AT THAT POINT, WE HAVE NO SAY IN WHO THE REPLACEMENT IS.

[00:05:06]

THERE WAS ALSO A FORCE --, IF AN ACT OF GOD HAPPENS, THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR PRODUCING THE SERVICE THAT WAS PAID FOR. EVEN SOME OF THE MARKETING AND SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF, WE HAVE TO GO TO THEM TO GET APPROVAL FIRST. IT IS THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT ARE VERY SKEWED IN FAVOR OF THE AGENCY PROVIDING THE SPEAKER. THAT IS GENERALLY HOW THE CONTRACTS RUN ANYWAY.

IT IS HARD TO GET THEM TO DEVIATES.

>> THERE ARE CONCERNING THINGS, BUT THIS IS PRETTY NORMAL?

>> YES. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT STEWARD. BOARD MEMBER

ARMSTRONG? >> OKAY. WITH WHAT THEY , WHAT WE ARE WANTING, IT IS THE CONTENT THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PRESENT? ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPANIES CLOSE TO THAT PRESENT THAT -- ARE THERE ANY COMPANIES THAT PRESENT THAT SAME TYPE OF

CONTENT? >> I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHAT THE DISTRICT WANTS IN TERMS OF CONTENT. IT WAS MADE CLEAR THE SPEAKER WAS SOMEBODY WE WANTED TO BRING GOOD BECAUSE SOME OF HIS BACKGROUND AND HISTORY AND THINKS HE CAN PUT FORTH TO MEMBERS OF THE DISTRICT. YOU CAN GO TO OTHER AGENCIES BUT EVERY AGENCY YOU GO TO PRETTY MUCH HAS THE SAME STANDARD

CONTRACT THEY WILL PUT OUT. >> AS FAR AS THE WORK ETHIC FROM THE COMPANY, DO THEY HAVE A REPUTATION OF HONORING THEIR CONTRACT? OR A REPUTATION OF --.

>> I DID RESEARCH ON THE COMPANY. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY REAL HISTORY OF LAWSUITS WITH THEIR CLIENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT IS MORE OF A HEADS UP TO THE BOARD. BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT DEVIATES FROM WHAT THE BOARD HAD BASICALLY PRESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY THROUGH THE TEMPLATE CONTRACTS.

I FELT IT WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST TO ALLOW THE BOARD TO BE AWARE OF IT IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN LATER ON.

IT WAS DISCUSSED. THE REALITY IS THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN AND EVERYTHING WILL GO SMOOTHLY.

>> LIKE THE EXPENSES THEY WILL AND CURE, WILL WE AS A DISTRICT SINCE WE ARE PAYING, WE MAKE SURE THE COST WILL BE REASONABLE? LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER EXPENSES THAT COME WITH

IT? >> THEY ARE BUILT INTO THE CONTRACT AND THE AGENCIES REQUIRED TO PAY THE SPEAKER FOR

THOSE INCIDENTS. >> OKAY. AND, I THINK THAT WAS

MY LAST QUESTION. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU, MS. ARMSTRONG. >> I'M SORRY, I HAVE ONE MORE

QUESTION. >> I WILL CIRCLE BACK. MISS --?

>> THANK YOU, PRES. CRITCHFIELD. WHICH DEPARTMENT WAS REQUESTING THE SPEAKER CUSTOMER

>> THE SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE, I'M REQUESTING IT.

>> TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE WHY THE SPEAKER AND WHAT WAS

THE PURPOSE AND THE END GOAL? >> THE INTENT WAS TO HAVE THE WHOLE STAFF BREAKFAST WHEN THE STAFF COMES BACK TO WORK. THE HOPE IS TO HAVE A GUEST SPEAKER COME IN AND START THE YEAR OFF WITH A PARTICULAR MESSAGE TO INSPIRE ALL OF US TO KIND OF MOVE FORWARD AT THE SAME PACE WITH THE SAME EFFORT. I REVIEWED SPEAKERS. THIS PARTICULAR SPEAKERS BUREAU HAS A LIST OF APPROVED SPEAKERS. AND I ALSO LOOKED AT WHAT THE SBA HAS HAD AT A SPEAKER CONFERENCE BEFORE TO REVIEW TOPICS. AND INDIVIDUALS THAT SPEAK TO AN EDUCATIONAL FACILITY. TO ENSURE THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS REALLY THOUGHTFUL FOR OUR STUDENTS AND THOUGHTFUL FOR OUR STAFF. AND THAT IS THE INTENSE. GEORGE -- HAS WRITTEN SOME BOOKS. AND HE SPEAKS ABOUT HAVING SOME ISSUES ABOUT DIVERSITY AND GOING BEYOND DIVERSITY. AND BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL STUDENTS AT ALL LEVELS. WHICH I THINK IS VERY APPROPRIATE FOR OUR

DISTRICT. >> THANK YOU. HOW DO WE AS A DISTRICT CONTINUE WITH -- A KIND OF SAW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE WOULD MAYBE CONTINUE THE MESSAGE. HOW DO YOU ENVISION THE MESSAGE TO CARRY ON THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SCHOOL

YEAR? >> ONE OF THE THOUGHTS IS TO SENSE HER WHEN WE RESTART THE YEAR. CENTER WITH A FOCUS SO WE

[00:10:04]

>> DO YOU ENVISION THEM HAVING THIS AT THEIR PLC PERHAPS? AND HAVING THOSE GOALS? IN FRONT OF THEM? AS THEY MOVE FORWARD?

>> ABSOLUTELY. SCHOOLS HAVE SET ACTION PLANS. THE ACTION PLANS ARE ADDRESSED WHEN THEY MEET THE PLC. WHICH IS LOOKING AT DATA. AND DEVELOPING NEXT STEPS TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS. ALL OF

IT IS TIED TOGETHER, GUESS. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MS. GARZA. DR. --?

>> THANK YOU. WILL IT BE A ONE-TIME CONTRACT QUESTION

>> RIGHT NOW, ONE-TIME AND ONE-DAY EVENT. FOR THE ALL

DISTRICT RECKLESS. >> WE WON'T BE USING THEM

AGAIN? >> WE COULD. THIS CONTRACT IS

FOR ONE EVENT. >> SINCE THE CONTRACT HAS A QUESTIONABLE AREA FROM THE LEGAL STANDPOINT, WHY WOULD WE

WANT TO USE IT MORE THAN ONCE? >> AS THE GENERAL COUNSEL SHARED WITH YOU, ANY SPEAKER , I WON'T SAY ALL. ANY SPEAKER FROM THIS PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION WILL HAVE THE SAME CONTRACT. THEY USE THE SAME TEMPLATE. IF IT'S QUESTIONABLE FOR HIM, IT'LL BE QUESTIONABLE FOR ALL FOR THE SAME ORGANIZATION. IT'S NOT SPECIFIC TO THE SPEAKER.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. THE ORGANIZATION.

>> MY AD, THIS PARTICULAR AGENCY IF I MIGHT ADD HAS A BOILERPLATE CONTRACT. ANY OTHER AGENCY YOU GO WITH, THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME KIND OF CONTRACT BECAUSE IT IS MORE OR LESS AN INDUSTRY STANDARD. BASICALLY, ANYWHERE YOU LOOK OTHER THAN MAYBE, ENGAGING A SPEAKER INDIVIDUALLY ONE-ON-ONE AND CREATING A SEPARATE CONTRACT WITH THEM. THAT'LL BE A LOT MORE TIME-CONSUMING AND DEVELOPING A CONTRACT AND GOING THROUGH THE TERMS AND ALL THAT. SO, THEY ACT AS A KIND OF MIDDLEMAN. AND THEY ALLOW YOU TO HAVE A MORE SEAMLESS PROCESS. BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THEY APPLY THEIR CRITERIA OR THEIR CONDITIONS. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO FACILITATE THAT.

>> 424 AND 25 SCHOOL YEAR. >> THAT IS WHAT I AM ASKING. DO YOU WANT TO USE THE ORGANIZATION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR OR SHOULD WE USE IT FOR ONE TIME?

>> REGARDLESS OF THE SPEAKER, THE ORGANIZATION. FOR CLARIFICATION I HAVE PLANS TO USE THE SPEAKER ONE TIME.

>> THANK YOU DR. --. MS. ARMSTRONG?

>> TAKE YOUR TIME. >> OH MY GOODNESS.

>> YOU'RE GOOD. I'LL JUMP IN AND GIVE YOU A MINUTE .

>> I DID LOOK UP GEORGE AND I SAW SOME OF HIS YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND SOME VERY HAPPY, THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AROUND. I KNOW YOU WENT THROUGH A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS. I UNDERSTAND THE COMPANY AND WHY THEY DO THINGS THE WAY THEY DO. BUT YEAH. DID

I GIVE YOU ENOUGH TIME? >> ARE YOU GOOD?

>> ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? >> I'LL GET THROUGH IT. SO, IT IS WITHIN OUR BUDGET, AM I CORRECT?

>> YES. WE DO HAVE FUNDING TO SUPPORT IT.

>> WE WILL FOLLOW-UP THROUGH THE POC, CORRECT?

>> YES. IT'LL BE DISCUSSED IN THE FOCUS WAS IN ALIGNMENT WITH WHAT THE DISTRICT ASK AND ASK.

>> OKAY, THAT IS GREAT. ONE LAST QUESTION. ARE WE GOING TO

GET A BOOK? >> I WILL LOOK INTO IT FOR YOU.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> MISS ARMSTRONG, THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD UNTIL WE MOVE ON? MOVING

[5.1 2024-2025 LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAP) AND 2024-2025 LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) – PROPOSED BUDGET 2024-2025]

NEXT WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. ON THE 24-25 LOCAL CONTROL AND

[00:15:04]

WE HAVE TWO PRESENTATIONS. MISS --?

>> AT THIS TIME, I WILL TURN THE MEETING TO MRS. CARTER WHO WILL PRESENT THE DRAFT OF THE 24-25 EL CAP.

>> OKAY. TONIGHT, I WILL BE SHARING SOME FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION. FOR PEOPLE ATTENDING THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT MAY NOT HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN US IN MAY.

WE WENT THROUGH THE EL CAP AN ANNUAL UPDATE IN DETAIL.

ALTHOUGH THE BOARD HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE LAST MEETING TO PROVIDE INPUT, WE ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE INPUT AT THIS HEARING.

THIS TIMELINE SHOWS THE TAIL END OF THE EL CAP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WHERE SOLICITED INPUT FROM A VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL PARTNERS. THE EL CAP OR DISTRICT PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IS ONE ACCOUNTABILITY TOOL REQUIRED BY STATE LAW AS A RESPONSE TO THE STATE PROVIDING DISTRICTS WITH LESS RESTRICTIVE FUNDING THAT ALLOWS FOR MORE LOCAL CONTROL AS TO HOW THE FUNDS ARE EXPENDED. ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS PROVIDED BASED ON PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS UNDUPLICATED OR ENGLISH LEARNERS , FOSTER YOUTH OR LOW INCOME. THE LAW REQUIRING THE PLAN ALSO REQUIRES CERTAIN COMPONENTS TO BE PART OF THE PLAN. EACH PLAN MUST INCLUDE GOALS AND ACTIONS RELATED EXPENDITURES, SERVICES FOR IDENTIFIED STUDENT GROUPS AND ALIGNMENT TO THE EIGHT STATE PRIORITIES. THE BELLFLOWER EL CAP INCLUDES THESE FOUR GOALS. THEY ARE ALIGNED TO THE STATE PRIORITIES YOU SEE ON THIS TABLE. THE TRAPPED EL CAP HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC FOR REVIEW AND THE PUBLIC HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO EMAIL INPUT. WE RECEIVED ONE EMAIL FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL METRICS. ADD ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION TO BE ADDED TO SOME OF THE ACTIONS. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE REVIEWED AND CONSIDERED TO BE ADDED TO THE FINAL DRAFT THAT'LL BE APPROVED AT THE NEXT MEETING. THE EL CAP HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO -- AS WELL FOR PRE-REVIEW AND FEEDBACK PRIOR TO FINAL SUBMITTAL. BASED ON THE BOARD FEEDBACK AND MAY AND LAKERS FEEDBACK, SOME REVISIONS WERE MADE TO THE ANNUAL UPDATE AND THE EL CAP. IN THE ANNUAL UPDATE ITSELF, THE RECLASSIFICATION METRIC WAS ADDED AND CLARIFICATION WAS PROVIDED TO THE GOAL ANALYSIS SECTION REGARDING EFFECTIVENESS OF ACTIONS. THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE SECTION INCLUDES A REFERENCE TO SOMERSET PERFORMANCE OF COLLEGE CAREER READINESS AND GRADUATION RATES. AND THE REFLECTION SECTION, REFERENCE WAS MADE TO THE SUPPORT FOR DIFFERENT ASSISTANCE BE PROVIDED BY LAKE GO. PAGES EIGHT AND NINE INCLUDE REFERENCE TO THE EQUITY MULTIPLIER FUNDING AND CLARIFICATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE GOAL. ALL BASELINE METRICS NOW INCLUDE THE YEAR THE DATA WAS COLLECTED. FOR GOAL ONE, THERE WERE CLARIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONAL METRICS FOR MEASURING THE READING DOMAIN FOR EL PACK ADDED. ACTION 10 INCLUDES REFERENCES TO A COORDINATOR THAT'LL SUPPORT ENGLISH LEARNER AND DUAL IMMERSION SURFACES.

FOR GOAL TWO, ADDITIONAL METRICS WERE INCLUDED TO MEASURE THE ACHIEVEMENT OF ENGLISH LEARNERS. AND DUAL IMMERSION STUDENTS AND METRICS FOR MEASURING ACHIEVEMENT OF SOMERSET STUDENTS IN THE AREAS OF COLLEGE CAREER READINESS.

SOME CLARIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS WERE MADE TO THE ACTIONS FOR THIS GOAL SUCH AS DUAL IMMERSION EXPANSION AND IN THE PROGRAM. FOR GOAL THREE, THERE ARE CHANGES THAT SOME OF THE METRICS AND ACTION FOR WAS CHANGED FROM CONTRIBUTING TO NONCONTRIBUTING. IN GOAL FOUR, THE STATE PRIORITIES WERE REFERENCED AND STUDENT GROUPS WERE ADDED TO THE MEASUREMENTS FOR COLLEGE CAREER READINESS. SOME OF THE REVISIONS MADE TO THE REMAINING SECTIONS OF --, INCLUDING HOW ACTIONS PROVIDING ON A DISTRICT WIDE BASIS ARE TARGETED TOWARD SUPPORTING UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS AND MEETING THEIR DEFINED NEED.

THOSE ARE ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT WERE EITHER CHANGED OR ADDED TO THE EL CAP AND ANNUAL UPDATE BASED ON THE LAST TIME WE DISCUSSED. WHEN YOU REVIEW THIS TIMELINE, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE ARE AT THE APPROVAL STAGE COMING IN JUNE. WE WILL BE TAKING IN CONSIDERATION ANY FEEDBACK PROVIDED BY THE PUBLIC

[00:20:04]

>> THANK YOU, MS. CARTER. I THINK IT IS YOUR LINE.

>> I'M SORRY. ARE WE READY TO MOVE ONTO THE NEXT

PRESENTATION? >> I THINK SO. WE WILL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. AND THE DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD AFTER BOTH PRESENTATIONS. IS THAT WHAT WE HAVE SCHEDULED?

>> YES. AT THIS POINT, I WILL HAVE YOU REVIEW THE PROPOSED

24-25 BUDGET. >> THANK YOU. AS SHARED THE AFTERNOON, I'LL PRESENT THE BOARD WITH THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE 2024-2025 FISCAL YEAR. A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND AS I SHARE THE NUMBERS WITH YOU. PRIOR TO THE BOARD TAKING ACTION, WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FOLLOWING THE EL CAP, WHICH IS WHAT MS. CARTER WAS SHARING WITH YOU.

THE PROPOSED BUDGET IS PRESENTED ALONGSIDE THE 23-24 ESTIMATED ACTUALS BECAUSE OF THE STATUTORY DATE FOR THE BUDGET APPROVAL PROCESS. IT'LL MOST LIKELY CHANGE AS THE BOOKS FOR THE 23-24 YEAR HAVE NOT CLOSED. ADDITIONALLY, THE GOVERNOR'S OWN BUDGET -- EXCUSE ME -- WHICH IMPACTS SCHOOL BUDGETS IS NOT FINALIZED. WE DID RECEIVE NOTIFICATION THE LEGISLATOR APPROVE THE BUDGET TODAY HOT OFF THE PRESS. I WILL EXPLAIN MORE AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION REGARDING ANTICIPATED CHANGES.

ADDITIONALLY, WE DID MAKE A FEW CHANGES TO THE PRESENTATION YOU RECEIVED AS PART OF THE BOARD PACKET. SOME GRAMMATICAL

CORRECTIONS WE MADE. >> OKAY. FIRST, LET'S QUICKLY REVIEW THE BUDGET CYCLE THAT WE SHARE WITH THE BOARD AT EVERY REPORTING PERIOD. YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOUR PROPOSED BUDGET WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON KNOWN ASSUMPTIONS. AND DEVELOPED EXPENDITURES THAT ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE EL CAP.

WE ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE BUDGET USING THE STANDARDIZED ACT ACCOUNT CODE STRUCTURE WHICH WE CALL THE FORM. WHILE IT SHOWS THE EXPENDITURES USING A TEMPLATE THAT BREAKS DOWN THOSE EXPENDITURES UNDER GOALS AND ACTIONS, THE PROPOSED BUDGET PRESENTS THEM UNDER STANDARDIZED OBJECT CODE WITH SPECIFIC CATEGORIES AS A WHOLE EXPENDITURE FOR THE DISTRICTS.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE IN THE CYCLE, WE HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT. AND THEN ADOPT A BUDGET FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR PRIOR TO JULY 1. WHEN THE GOVERNOR ALSO MAY HAVE NOT YET ADOPTED HIS. IT IS AGAIN WHY THE BUDGET IS FLUID AND THE NUMBERS WILL CHANGE. WE WANTED TO PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS TO HELP UNDERSTAND HOW WE COME TO THE TOTALS YOU WILL SEE TONIGHT. AND ALSO HOW SOME OF THE TOTALS MAY CHANGE AS YOU SAW WITH THE CYCLE, IT IS A YEAR-LONG PROCESS. DON'T CARE PLANNING ABOUT THE SITE AND DEPARTMENTS.

AS YOU SAW ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, DEVELOPMENT STARTS WITH THE GOVERNANCE RELEASE OF HIS PROPOSED BUDGET. AT THAT TIME, THE DISTRICTS FISCAL DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT ABOUT THE BUDGET BASED ON KNOWN ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE RELEASED AT THAT TIME.

HOWEVER, THEY MAY CHANGE. AT THE MAY REVISE WHICH IS POINTED OUT. THE FISCAL DEPARTMENT THEN RELEASES THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS TO THE SITES WHICH INCLUDE STANDARD BUDGETING STAFFING ALLOCATIONS FOR TEACHERS, CLASSIFIED STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION NEEDED TO OPERATE A SCHOOL. DISTRICT ALSO PROVIDES ALLOCATIONS BASED ON ENROLLMENT AND UNDUPLICATED STUDENT PERCENTAGE FOR THE SITES TO BUDGET ON ADDITIONAL NEEDS THEY MAY DETERMINE ARE NEEDED. THOSE BUDGETED ITEMS ARE CONNECTED TO A GOAL AND ACTION THAT WAS PRESENTED ON THE LCAP. DEPARTMENTS ARE PROVIDED BUDGET ALLOCATION SIMILAR TO THE SITES FOR THEIR STAFFING. HOWEVER, THEY USE ZERO-BASED BUDGETING ALONG WITH ALLOCATIONS TO SUBMIT THEIR NEEDS. FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE SPECIAL ED DEPARTMENT, THEY DON'T RECEIVE IN THE FUNDING AND THEREFORE THEY WILL BUDGET ALL THEIR NEEDS AND RESTRICTED FUNDS WILL NEED SUPPORT THROUGH A CONTRIBUTION. MEETINGS ARE HELD WITH STAKEHOLDERS FOR INPUT AND BUDGETS ARE SUBMITTED TO DEPARTMENTS WHO OVERSEE THE

[00:25:01]

>> TONIGHT, BEFORE WE GET INTO THE NUMBERS, WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH ASSUMPTIONS USED. THE PROPOSED BUDGET TOTAL FOR 2024 AND 2025 FOR REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES. THE GENERAL FUND MULTIYEAR PROJECTIONS. THE ENDING FUND BALANCE COMPONENT AND ANY ADDITIONALLY FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN THAT IS BEING REQUIRED FROM THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION FOR DISTRICTS PROJECTING DEFICIT SPENDING AND THAT WAS REQUESTED OF US AS PART OF THE SECOND INTERIM REVIEW ACTION. HERE, YOU SEE INFORMATION REGARDING THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA FACTORS. TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES UP THE REVENUE. EACH STUDENT WHO WE COLLECT A.D.A.

FOR GENERATE FUNDING DEPENDING ON THE GRADE EXPAND OR NEED WHAT GENERATE A CERTAIN AMOUNT. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE BASE FUNDING IS INCREASING FOR EACH STUDENTS. BASED ON THE PROJECTED COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT ALSO KNOWN AS COLA.

THOSE INCREASES RANGE FROM $106 WITH THE TT THREE SPAN 229 BUT THE NINE THROUGH 12 SPAN. THEY GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL $3077.

YOU SEE THE NET CHART IF A STUDENT IS IDENTIFIED AS AND UNDUPLICATED STUDENTS, WE RECEIVE SUPPLEMENTAL CONCENTRATION FUNDING. THE BREAKDOWN OF THE FUNDING WILL BE PROVIDED ON A FUTURE SLIDE. I WANT TO NOTE. IT'LL BE SHOWN ON THE NEXT SLIDE THESE REVISED FUNDING FACTORS CAME DOING THEM A REVISION. THEREFORE, THE COLA EC ON THIS CHART WAS PREVIOUSLY RELEASED AT THE MAY REVISION WHICH IS A 1.07% COLA. WE WERE USING A .76 COLA BASED ON THE GOVERNANCE RELEASE IN JANUARY.

WHICH IS A DIFFERENCE OF APPROXIMATELY 435,000 -- 40 INCREASE IN REVENUE WHICH WILL BE UPDATED IN THE FIRST INTERIM. HERE YOU CAN SEE THE ASSUMPTIONS. AS NOTED FROM THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, THE EXCEPTIONS USED IN THE BUDGET ARE .76.

THAT IS BECAUSE OF WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS BEGAN.

WHICH IS A DROP FROM THE ORIGINAL A .22 FROM THE ORIGINAL A .224 LAST YEAR. THE A.D.A. BASED ON A THREE-YEAR AVERAGE IS DROPPING TO 9297. A CHANGE OF 611 FUNDED STUDENTS.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT ENROLLMENT. IT IS AN AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE. WE DO NOT GENERATE FUNDS OFF OF THE ENROLLMENT. WE GENERATED BASED ON THE AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE WHEN STUDENTS ATTEND. OKAY, FIRST WE LOOK AT THE REVENUE.

AS STATED, THE BUDGET PROVIDES INFORMATION ALONGSIDE ESTIMATED ACTUALS. TO SHOW DIFFERENCE FROM CURRENT YEAR TO PROPOSE YEAR. THE REVENUE COMES FROM FUNDING SOURCES WITH THE BIGGEST THEME, LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA KNOWN AS L CFF MADE OF MULTIPLE SOURCES WHICH YOU SAW ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

BASE, SUPPLEMENTAL CONCENTRATION ADD-ON AND EQUITY MULTIPLY. THE SECOND HIGHEST FUNDING SOURCE AS OTHER INCLUDING SPECIAL EDUCATION MASTER PLAN FUNDING. LOTTERY, CAREER TECHNICAL TO NAME A FEW. BASED ON THE CURRENT ASSUMPTIONS AND KNOWN BUDGET INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. THE REVENUE FOR THE 24-25 YEAR IS DECREASING BY 14.2% WITH THE BIGGEST DECREASE IN FEDERAL FUNDING. THAT IS DUE TO THE EXPIRATION AND EXPANDED USE OF ONE-TIME FUNDS. OUR L CFF FUNDING DECREASES IMPACTED BY A DROP IN THE FUNDED A.D.A. OF

[00:30:01]

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT CARRYOVER EXPENDITURES ARE NOT PART OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET. THE PROPOSED BUDGET AND THE OTHER SOURCES DOES SHOW A DECREASE FOR MULTIPLE REASONS.

LESS REVENUE AS WE SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. AND ALSO A DECREASE IN ONE-TIME EXPENDITURES BOTH IN THE AREAS OF SERVICES AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENDITURES AS WELL AS CAPITAL OUTLAY WHICH WOULD BE ANY EQUIPMENT OVER 5000. THE TOTAL PROPOSED EXPENDITURES FOR THE YEAR IS SLATED TO BE $212,000,007-$95,000. WHICH IS A DECREASE FROM THE CURRENT YEAR AND $33 MILLION. AGAIN, HERE IS A VISUAL PIE REPRESENTATION OF THE EXPENDITURES. THE BIGGER SLICE OF THE PIE IS FOR SALARY AND BENEFITS. IT IS CURRENTLY, BASED ON THE BUDGETED EXPENDITURES, IT IS 77% FOLLOWED BY SERVICES AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENDITURES, WHICH

IS ROUGHLY 16%. >> THE INTAKE FOR THE 24-25 YEAR BY $27 MILLION. WE STILL END UP WITH A POSITIVE ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR BOTH THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AS WELL IS THE PROPOSED. PLEASE NOTE, THESE NUMBERS WILL CHANGE AS MENTIONED EARLIER BECAUSE THE BOOKS FOR THE 23-24 YEAR ARE NOT CLOSED. IN A FUTURE SLIDE, WE PROVIDE YOU WITH PREDICTIVE BUDGETING NUMBERS BASED ON ADDITIONAL YEAR-TO-DATE ACTUALS. BECAUSE THE ENDING FUND BALANCE AS YOU SAW ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE 424-25 IS SLATED TO BE HIGHER THAN 10%, WE ARE REQUIRED TO COMMIT FUNDS ABOVE THE 10%. HERE WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD BASED ON PREVIOUS DIRECTIVES AS WELL AS BASED ON NEEDS WE ARE SEEING MAY BE NEEDED DUE TO ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES. ADDITIONALLY, FUNDS MUST BE COMMITTED DUE TO RESTRICTED REVENUE. THE TWO BIGGEST COMPONENTS OF THE ENDING FUND BALANCE INCLUDE RESTRICTED PROGRAMS. WHERE YOU SEE A TOTAL OF $27 MILLION. AND INCLUDED IN THAT RESTRICTED IS OVER $14 MILLION OF LEARNING RECOVERY EMERGENCY FUNDING AS WELL AS OVER 3 MILLION AND ARTS, MUSIC AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL. THE DEFERRED FACILITIES WHICH IS THE SECOND-LARGEST, TO COVER PROJECTS THE BOARD HAS GIVEN

[00:35:06]

NUMBERS WILL ALSO CHANGE ONCE PRESENTED WITH AN AUDITED ACTUALS. BEFORE WE GO INTO THE MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS, WE WANTED TO SHARE A VISUAL TO SHOW HOW FLUID A BUDGET IS BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS KNOWN AT THE TIME OF REPORTING. SCHOOL SERVICES OF CALIFORNIA WHICH PROVIDES INFORMATION REGARDING THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET RELEASE AS WELL AS MAY REVISE, PROVIDED THE VISUAL TO SHOW HOW BASED ON A.D.A., DECREASES IN THE OUT YEARS AND COLOR PROJECTIONS, THE REVENUE CAN DECREASE WITH EACH REPORTING PERIOD. THESE CHANGES IMPACT THE BASE FUNDING REVENUE WHICH HAS SEEN, AND WILL SEE WITH THE MULTIYEAR PROJECTIONS. HERE IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU HAVE BELLFLOWER MULTIYEAR PROJECTIONS BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS USED PRESENTED TO YOU. BECAUSE REVENUES ARE DECREASING WHICH AGAIN, IS IMPACTED BY DECREASING A.D.A. IN THE OUT YEARS. WE ARE PROPOSING A DECREASE IN EXPENDITURES. HOWEVER, BASED ON WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED WITH OTHER REPORTING PERIODS, INCLUDES AN AUDITED ACTUALS AND WE ARE MAKING THE BOARD AWARE WE MAY NEED TO DEFICIT SPEND IF REVENUES DON'T INCREASE BEYOND WHAT WE CURRENTLY KNOW.

REMEMBER THAT FOR SURE, WE KNOW THE REVENUE WILL INCREASE BY A LITTLE OVER 400 -- $400,000 DUE TO THE INCREASE OF COLECTOMY REVISION. HOWEVER, THE INCREASE REDUCES THE CURRENT KNOWN DEFICIT SPENDING BY 400,000. WE STILL MEET THE REQUIRED 3% IN 26-27. THE LAST COLUMN THERE BEING THE ENDING FUND BALANCE IF EVERYTHING WORKS EXACTLY AS BEING PRESENTED NOW WOULD BE 35 MILLION -- $35,306,654. 3% REQUIRED IS $5,931,167.

MULTIYEAR PROJECTIONS ARE USED TO SERVE AS PROACTIVE INFORMATION TO HELP WITH STABILIZING AND MAKING SHORT AND LONG-TERM PLANNING DECISIONS. BASED ON THE CURRENT MULTIYEAR PROJECTIONS, WE SHARE WITH THE BOARD THE DISTRICT WILL MEET ITS CURRENTS PROPOSED AND TO FUTURE YOUR OBLIGATIONS.

NOTE THE NUMBERS ARE VERY SMALL. BUT AS PART OF THE STATE AUDITOR'S RECOMMENDATION, WE NOW PRESENT ADDITIONAL YEAR-TO-DATE INFORMATION TO THE BOARD. BASED ON YEAR-TO-DATE ACTUALS. NOT SOMETHING YOU SEE IN YOUR SACS REPORT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HE PRESENTS. THIS INFORMATION IS AS OF APRIL 30, 2024. WHILE THE CURRENT ESTIMATED ACTUAL SHOW WE ARE SLATED TO DEFICIT SPEND, THE YEAR-TO-DATE RECORDED ACTUALS EXPENDITURES ARE NOT SHOWING THAT. ON APRIL 30, 2024, WE ARE SAYING IF WE WERE TO CLOSE THE BOOKS THAT DAY, WE WOULD HAVE AN EXCESS OF 22,000,957 539. BECAUSE THE BOOKS ARE NOT YET CLOSED AND BASED ON SPENDING PATTERNS, ABUSING MONTHLY EXPENDITURE TRENDS AND KNOWN ENCUMBRANCES. AS WELL AS CURRENT PROJECTS, AND INVOICES THAT HAVE YET NOT BEEN PAID, WE ARE PREDICTING WE WILL END THE YEAR WITH 12 MILLION AND ACCESS. A SET OF SPENDING THE CURRENT AMOUNT OF 249,614 , WE SPENT APPROXIMATELY 203 MILLION , WE SPENT APPROXIMATELY 203,789,205. THE ESTIMATED REVENUE FOR THIS YEAR IS 216 MILLION 216,182,840. AGAIN, THIS IS ALL BASED ON PREDICTIVE FORECASTING WHICH IS USED THROUGH MONITORING. THEREFORE, ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE MADE AFTER AN AUDITED ACTUALS REPORTING WHICH TAKES PLACE IN SEPTEMBER. BECAUSE WE ARE SHOWING DEFICIT SPENDING, THE COUNTY IS ASKING US TO SUBMIT A FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN EVEN THOUGH REPORTING SHOWS WE WILL MEET SCHOOL OBLIGATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED BUDGET INTO THE FOLLOWING YEARS. BEING THAT STAFFING IS THE LARGEST COST AND BECAUSE WE ARE EXPERIENCING DECLINING ENROLLMENT, FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN INCLUDES REDUCTIONS IN STAFFING BOTH BY ELIMINATING TEMPORARY TEACHERS BY 30 OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS AND REDUCING EXTRA DUTY WITH CERTIFICATED AND CLASSIFIED STAFF. AS A RECAP, TONIGHT'S REQUIRED HEARING OF THE

[00:40:03]

PROPOSED BUDGET DOES NOT INCLUDE CARRYOVER FUNDS FOR EXPENDITURES. WE HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR SOME ATTRITION BASED ON DECLINING ENROLLMENT AS WELL AS THE FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN.

ALL CURRENT KNOWN PROPOSED REVENUE HAS BEEN BUDGETED. ALL PROPOSED EXPENDITURES ARE CONNECTED TO THE L CAP GOES AND ACTIONS. THESE PROJECTIONS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NEW COLA ARE FROM THE GOVERNOR'S REVISED SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITH THE FINAL STATE BUDGET WHICH INK -- IT IMPACTS THE ENDING FUND BALANCE. AS MENTIONED WITH THE L CAP, IT'LL BE UP FOR ADOPTION WITH THE JUNE WITH THE JUNE 20 MEETING. AND ALSO HAS TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY PRIOR TO JULY 1. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MISS --. AT THIS TIME, I DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. WILL ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE SIDE OF? ON THIS ITEM. GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE. ALL RIGHT.

COME ON UP. >> NOT LIMITED KNOWLEDGE.

LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW. THE NUMBER OF 611 WITH A.D.A., I KNOW BELLFLOWER UNIFIED HAS NOT DONE ITS DUE DILIGENCE WITH SERVING. WHEN STUDENTS ARE MISSING ATTENDANCE. WE HAVE A BIG DROP . I BELIEVE, AT MY SCHOOL, I DON'T THINK THEY HELD A HEARING. WHICH THEY NORMALLY DO. FOR ALL THE PARENTS TO COME TO THE INITIAL ONE. THAT'S ONE WAY WE CAN RECOUP THAT MONEY. WE ALSO DO NOT OFFER SATURDAY SCHOOL OR ENRICHMENT ON SATURDAYS WHICH IS ANOTHER WAY WE CAN BE ENRICHING OUR STUDENTS AND RECOUPING THAT MONEY. ANOTHER THING ABOUT THE BUDGET. I BELIEVE LAST TIME I TALKED TO -- ABOUT THE BUDGET, IT WAS 2013 OR 2018 WE ACTUALLY DID DEFICIT SPEND YEAR AFTER YEAR WE PREDICTED DEFICIT SPENDING.

THAT COULD BE A COMMON PRACTICE. LOOKING AT THE 100 AND SOMETHING MILLION DOLLARS OF BUDGET AND NEEDS OF STUDENTS, IT SEEMS CONCERNING. THAT WAS ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION. WITH OUR BUDGETING. ANOTHER THING. WE ALSO HAVE HAD A 25% REDUCTION OF STUDENTS. WE HAVE NOT REFLECTED THAT IN THE REDUCTION OF STAFF. WE HAVE SOME AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT WE NEED TO WORK ON WITH THE BUDGET.

>> THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? >> I WANT TO THANK THE STAFF FOR THE WORK THEY DID WITH THIS. IT'S A LOT OF EFFORT.

SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYBODY. AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, PREDICTIVE FORECASTING'S SAYS WE SPENT JUST UNDER $204 MILLION. WHICH WILL PUT US UNDER THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR. HOPEFULLY, WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND EVEN IF WE MEET EVEN WITH THE MONEY WE WILL ACTUALLY BRING IN. IF WE GO ALONG WITH SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SPENT THIS YEAR. AND, I'M ALWAYS CONCERNED . THE PROPOSED BUDGET WHEN IT COMES TO CERTIFICATE AND SALARY HOW WE MISSED BY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH PERSONNEL? OR WITH THAT. I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A PRETTY TIGHT WITH THE BUDGET. WE SHOULD NOT MISS BY MILLIONS. LOOKING AT WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH THE FISCAL STABILIZATION PLAN, WE HAVE 30 TEACHERS THAT'LL BE A COST OF 1.2 MILLION. WE ARE MISSING BY A LOT OF FTE THERE. IF WE TIDY THIS UP, THAT'LL GIVE US SOME ACCURATE NUMBERS THAT'LL GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THE ACTUAL NUMBERS THAT WE WILL SEE. GOING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IN QUEUE.

>> THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD? VP STEWART?

>> I MET WITH PRES. CRITCHFIELD AND THE STAFF FOR THREE HOURS YESTERDAY. I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF MY DAYS RIGHT NOW. I DO UNDERSTAND A LOT MORE . AGAIN. IT IS CONCERNING THAT WE COULD BE SPENDING MORE MONEY ON OUR KIDS. MY FIRST ASK IS IF WE COULD , WE KNOW WE HAVE TO BE DOWN TO THAT 10%. IF WE COULD ASK STAFF TO COME UP WITH PROPOSALS ON HOW TO SPEND SOME OF THE MONEY ON STUDENTS , WITH THE RESTRICTIONS ARE AND WHAT

[00:45:04]

PLEASE. >> I WILL COME BACK ON AFTER

YOU GUYS, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VICE PRESIDENT

STEWART. DR. --? >> THANK YOU. ONE OF MY GREATEST CONCERNS WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT IS IN THE L CAP, CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM WHICH AFFECTS THE A.D.A. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT EXPENDITURES WITH FUNDING FOR STUDENTS. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? IN ORDER TO HAVE STUDENTS COME TO CLASS AND STAY IN CLASS? LIKE I SAID, TEACHERS BROUGHT UP SOME CONCERNS TO ME IN REGARDS TO THE ON-SITE. BUT THEY ARE NOT ATTENDING CLASSES. THAT IS A BIG CONCERN.

ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO ARE FALLING BEHIND ACADEMICALLY. AND A LOT OF STUDENTS ARE SPECIAL ED STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT ATTENDING WORK AND SHOOTING TO THE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM -- CONTRIBUTING TO THE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. I WANT TO KNOW HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THIS MOVING FORWARD. IT IS A BIG ISSUE ACROSS THE STATE. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING PUT INTO ACTION IN THE DISTRICT YET.

>> IN QUEUE, DR. --. VICE PRESIDENT STUART, WILL YOU LIKE TO GO? OKAY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

I HAVE A COUPLE. FIRST, FIRST OF ALL, I DO FIND IT VERY, I APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU SPENT TO HELP US EXPLAIN FURTHER WHY WE DO THINGS LIKE WE DO. I THINK THE WHOLE THING IS SILLY.

WE ARE EXPECTED TO PLAN AHEAD FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. -33 $-33 MILLION. WE ARE PROJECTING WE WILL BE AHEAD 12 MILLION, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO SPEND THE MONEY WE NEED TO YOU TO YEAR. YOU CAN SEE AND I GET THE TIMELINE AND I KNOW IT IS PROBLEMATIC. BUT I THINK OUR GUESSING -- I HOPE WE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO WHAT THE ACTUAL WILL BE TO COMES TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE PROPOSED AND PROJECTED ARE SO FAR OFF. MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME EXPLAIN? WHY IS THE PROPOSED SO FAR OFF FROM WHAT WE PROJECT WE WILL SPEND. THE PROPOSED IN TERMS OF THE ESTIMATED ACTUALS YOU SEE

THERE AND THE NUMBERS. >> WE TALK ABOUT THE PREDICTIVE OF WHAT WE WILL END THIS YEAR. YOU HAVE CARRYOVER EXPENDITURES INCLUDED THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED IN THE YEAR. BECAUSE THE BOOKS ARE NOT CLOSED, SOME THINGS HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY EXPENDED AND MAY CARRY OVER TO THE NEXT YEAR. HOWEVER SITES AND DEPARTMENTS HAVE BUDGETED. SOME PROJECTS THAT MAY BE IN THE WORKS ARE NOT FULLY. WITH THE ONE-TIME FUNDING, AS YOU SAW WITH THE REVENUE IN TERMS OF ONE-TIME FUNDING, THERE IS A HUGE DECREASE. WE HAVE THE PROJECTS OF PLAYGROUNDS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. THAT IS A HUGE COST. WE KNOW IT'LL ALL BE FINISHED BY JUNE 30 THAT'LL BE HUGE CARRYOVER IN TERMS OF

EXPENDITURE COSTS. >> I TOTALLY GET IT. IT'LL BE NICE NUMBERS WOULD BE CLOSER AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO PLAN. ON PAGE 14. WE DISCUSSED IT AND WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT AREAS FOR PRESERVE MITIGATION OF ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES RESERVED FOR THESE ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES. I KNOW THE RESERVE IS 3%. WE HAD AN EXTRA PERCENT. ON THE OTHER CATEGORY. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THOSE TO BUCKETS OF MONEY AND WHY WE HAVE TO INSTEAD OF ONE?

>> WE LIKE TO DELINEATE FOR THE USE SO YOU CAN SEE WITH A 3% REQUIREMENT IS. THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION SHOULD THE BOARD WANT TO CHANGE THAT IN TERMS OF THE ENDING FUND BALANCE PUTTING IT ALL UNDER ONE THAT CAN BE DONE AND/OR SHOULD THE BLOOD -- THE BOARD DECIDE IN A DIFFERENT COMMITTEE CATEGORY. THAT IS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD. IN TERMS OF FLEXIBILITY AND ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. SHOULD THERE BE SITUATION THAT THE BOARD HAS TO THEN DIP INTO THE ENDING FUND BALANCE BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION ? THAT IS WHAT WE CATEGORIZED IT THAT WAY? AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD MAKING CHANGES.

[00:50:03]

>> UNDERSTAND THE 3% IN THAT SPECIFIC BUCKET. LAST YEAR, WE HAD IN THE RESERVE FOR UNCERTAINTY, 3% IT WAS DOUBLE THAT. WILL IT BE THE STANDARD PRACTICE GOING FORWARD? THAT IS

WHERE THE 3% GOES? >> IT CHANGES BASED ON EXPENDITURES FOR THE PROPOSED BUDGET A YEAR. BECAUSE 3% IS BASED OFF OF EXPENDITURES PROPOSED FOR THE YEAR. WE DO HAVE A LOWER AMOUNT OF EXPENDITURES FOR THIS BUDGET,

24-25 THEN WE DID FOR 23-24. >> RIGHT. NONE OF US UP HERE ARE ACCOUNTANTS. I DON'T WANT TO SAY TO CHANGE ANYTHING. BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A PART I HAVE NOT SEEN A LOT OF CONSISTENCY.

LOOKS DIFFERENT THE LAST YEAR. FOR CLARIFICATION FOR THE PUBLIC. THAT IS FOR THOSE TWO PROJECTS. THE THOMAS JEFFERSON

PARKING LOT IN THE MAYFIELD? >> THAT IS CURRENTLY SET ASIDE.

>> I WILL KICK IT OVER TO MME. CLERK GARZA.

>> THANK YOU PRESENT CRITCHFIELD. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE THOSE TWO CATEGORIES.

>> HE WALKED AROUND IN CIRCLES. AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND.

CAN YOU PLEASE JUST TELL ME? PERHAPS , IN LAYMAN TERMS. A MEMBER, THIS IS A PROPOSED BUDGET RIGHT NOW. WE MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY THAT'LL ALLOW FOR A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR STAFFING IN THE TERMS WE DID NOT GET THE REVENUE THAT WERE PROJECTED PERCEIVED FOR THAT YEAR. WE NEED TO DIP INTO THE ENDING FUND BALANCE ANY OF THE NEEDS. THAT'LL BE USED FOR THAT. THE OTHER BUCKET AND RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. THAT IS 3% REQUIRED TO HAVE THE RESERVE. DO YOU WANT TO PUT IT ALL THERE AT THE 4.5 MILLION TO THE 6.3 AND PUT IT UNDER ONE? WHICH IS MORE THAN 3%. WE LIKE TO SHOW WHAT IT IS REQUIRED. IN THE BOARD CAN DECIDE INTO THE OTHER CATEGORIES ADDING TO THE FUNDING BALANCE COMPONENT. THE RECOMMENDATION ALLOWS THE BOARD TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY BASED ON THE ENDING

FUND BALANCE. >> BASED UPON YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS, I'M GOING TO ASK YOUR RECOMMENDATION RIGHT NOW. IF WE WERE TO PLACE IT TOGETHER? WHAT WOULD BE THE NEGATIVE OUTCOMES OF DOING THAT?

>> THERE WOULD NOT BE A NEGATIVE OUTCOME. FOR VISUAL AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE NUMBER IS. YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE 3% REQUIREMENT IS TO SEE WHAT ADDITIONALLY YOU HAVE YOUR THERE WOULD NOT BE BECAUSE THE NUMBER WOULD STILL BE THE SAME AS A TOTAL. IF WE DO PLACE THEM UNDER THE ONE BUCKET, WHAT WOULD BE THE PERCENTAGE THEN? THAT WE WOULD BE AT? IT WOULDN'T BE 3% ANY LONGER, CORRECT?

>> NO. YOU LOOK CLOSER TO A .59 IN TERMS.

>> OKAY. WE ARE BY LAW NOT SUPPOSED TO GO PAST 10%? IS

THAT WHAT I AM RECALLING? >> ANYTHING MORE THAN 10% HAS TO BE COMMITTED. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE FUNDS HERE. YOUR OVERALL ENDING FUND BALANCE IS MORE THAN 10%. 3% ALONE IS A 6.3 MILLION. ANYTHING OVER 10%. ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS HERE

ARE FOR THE ABOVE 10%. >> I'M GOING TO ASK MY

COLLEAGUES. WOULD YOU THINK? >> I WANT TO CHIME IN. THAT'S THE REASON I ASKED. IF WE CAN START A LIST OF THINGS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE WELL OVER 10%. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS. IT IS NICE THEY LOOK A LITTLE BIT BETTER BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW I AM WITH BOOKS AND SUPPLIES. 18 MILLION WE ARE NOW 10 MILLION WE SAVE 7.7 WHICH IN MY MIND WAS CLOSER TO THE ACTUAL NUMBER WE ALWAYS SHOULD'VE BEEN SPENDING. I

FEEL LIKE IT IS BETTER. >> I AGREE WITH YOU. I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN MAKE MYSELF AN EDUCATED GUESS TASTE ON THESE NUMBERS. I LIKE THAT WE ARE BUDGETING FOR MAYBE PERHAPS SOMETHING WE ALWAYS NEED TO HAVE EXTRA MONEY THERE TO PAY FOR IT. IF THE NUMBERS CAN LOOK CLOSER TO THE REAL ACTUAL WE ARE BUDGETING FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, I THINK I'LL BE

[00:55:07]

>> IN TERMS OF THE WAY THE BUDGET IS PRESENTED, IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE FTE COUNTS REGARDING THE INFORMATION THERE. HOWEVER, FOR THE FTE COUNTS. LET ME GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION. FOR NEXT YEAR.

>> PROBABLY THE NEED FOR THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR.

ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU TELL US WE HAVE A DECLINING ENROLLMENT. I AM ASSUMING, AGAIN, HAVE ALREADY KIND OF BUDGETED FOR

THAT. >> CORRECT. WE SENT THE BUDGET TO THE SITE, WE PROVIDED . THE BUDGET FOR THEIR STAFF , PRIMARY STAFF MENTIONED IN TERMS OF CLASSIFIED STAFF.

CURRENTLY THE BUDGET HAS 527 TEACHERS SLATED IN THE BUDGET.

>> YOU DON'T SEE THIS IN TERMS OF AN ITEMIZED HERE BECAUSE THIS IS THE FAX REPORTING INFORMATION THAT YOU GET.

>> COULD WE PLEASE HAVE IT PROVIDED TO THE BOARD WITH OUR

MEMO? >> SURE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT THE BREAKDOWN IS AND HOW MUCH IS EACH SITE BUDGETING FOR THOSE TEACHERS. IF WE DO HAVE A NEED FOR A TEACHER, PERHAPS THE AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE HERE WITH THE TWO BUCKETS SEPARATELY COULD PERHAPS MAYBE BE USED FOR THAT? IF THERE IS A NEED FOR AN EXTRA TEACHER ON THAT. FOR MAYBE A COUPLE OF YEARS.

>> LET ME CLARIFY THAT. IN TERMS OF THE PRIME ASSIGNMENTS.

LET'S SAY SCHOOL HAS 300 STUDENTS IN WORLD AND THEY NEED 11 TO BE ABLE TO SERVICE THOSE 300 STUDENTS. WE DO THE BUDGETING FOR THEM AND ASCENTS. WE PROVIDE THE BUDGET RESOURCE FOR THEM. IF SITES WANT ADDITIONAL TEACHERS IN TERMS OF INTERVENTION, THAT IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE GOALS. THEY SUBMIT THAT WITHIN THE PROPOSED BUDGET. WHEN WE COMPILE ALL THE BUDGETS FROM THE SITES AND DEPARTMENTS, BASED ON THE COMPILED INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO US, THAT IS WHERE WE ARE LOOKING AT 527 CURRENTLY WITHIN THE BUDGET IN TERMS OF EVERYTHING TOGETHER. THAT INCLUDES TEACHERS NEEDED BASED ON CLASSROOM ASSIGNMENTS. AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE PROPOSED BUDGETS.

>> WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE REORGANIZATION OF STUDENTS AND THE MOVEMENT WE DO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, YOU ARE TELLING ME WE HAVE ALREADY BUDGETED FOR THAT AS

WELL? >> BE BUDGETED FOR THAT THAT MAY CHANGE DEPENDING ON HOW MANY STUDENTS SHOW UP. IF IT HAPPENS, THAT'S WHAT WE PRESENT TO YOU, REVISED BUDGETS. WHEN YOU GET THE MONTHLY REVISED AGED INFORMATION, YOU'LL SEE THAT. YOU MAY HAVE MORE ATTRITION THAT'LL TAKE PLACE IN ALL OF IT IS DONE WITHIN THE REVISIONS

OF THE BUDGET. >> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE WE GET AROUND, MS. GARZA. I'LL GET AROUND OF THIS

WILL FOLLOW. MISS ARMSTRONG? >> IN REGARDS TO MOVING FUNDS AROUND IN DIFFERENT ALLOCATIONS WE HAVE, IF BY CHANCE THERE ARE ISSUES THAT CAME UP WITH FACILITIES THAT GOD FORBID, A FIRE OR SOMETHING TO THAT NATURE, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE RESERVE ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. BECAUSE OF THE THE BUDGET IS FLUID WE CAN MOVE THINGS AROUND FOR THAT

PARTICULAR AREA. >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THE CATEGORIES AND THE NUMBERS ARE THERE, THE FLEXIBILITY AND THE MOVEMENT FOR THEM IS FLUID EXCEPT FOR THE LOCAL RESTRICTED GRANT FUNDING. IS IT CORRECT?

>> ANYTHING RESTRICTED, YOU COULD NOT USE THE FUNDING. THE BOARD AS PART OF THE ADOPTION PROCESS ADOPTS A RESOLUTION TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. AT ANY TIME THE BOARD FEELS THEY WANT TO MAKE CHANGES TO THAT. RESOLUTION CAN BE BROUGHT BACK UP TO THE BOARD AGAIN. TO MAKE CHANGES AS NEEDED. BECAUSE OF HOW THE CYCLE IS TO MR. CRUTCHFIELD'S POINTS IN REGARDS TO BOOKS ARE NOT CLOSED AND INFORMATION WE'RE GETTING.

ONCE AN AUDITED ACTUAL AND FIRST INTERIM INFORMATION COMES, THAT IS A TIME TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING AND SEE WHERE WE AND THE YEAR AND WHAT CHANGES MAY NEED TO BE MADE.

>> THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET HAS NOT BEEN ALLOCATED IT'S WHAT

[01:00:06]

>> HE REPEATED AGAIN? >> CAN YOU REPEAT THAT AGAIN?

>> IT HAS NOT BEEN ALLOCATED INTO THE BUDGET WE ARE SEEING

NOW. >> WE ALLOCATED BUT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE COLA BEING USED. AT THE TIME OF DEVELOPMENT, IT WAS 7.6% AND IT INCREASED TO 1.07. THAT IS ROUGHLY A REVENUE OF INCREASE OF OVER 400,000. THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL CHANGES DEPENDING ON NEW GRANTS AND DIFFERENT FUNDING THAT COMES ABOUT AND THAT IS WHY THE CYCLES ARE VERY CRITICAL IN KNOWING WHERE YOU CURRENTLY STAND.

>> OKAY, THANK YOU. TO THINK IT UP. I HAVE ONE QUESTION NOW. I WILL TAKE IT OVER TO VICE PRESIDENT STEWART AGAIN. ON THE CLASSIFIED SALARIES, I DON'T KNOW HOW, -- PUT OUT A RANKING AND A BUNCH OF DATA ON THE SCHOOLS. IT IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO TALK TO ABOUT US FAR AS HOW THEY GOT SOME OF THE INFORMATION ACCURATE. AS FAR AS MY FIRST READING, IT IS 48 WHEN IT COMES TO THE CLASSIFIED SALARIES. THE PROPOSED BUDGET, THERE WAS ANOTHER DECREASE FROM 27 DECREASE FROM 27 MILLION TO 26 NINE. DO YOU THINK INFORMATION IS ACCURATE? DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT TO YOU? THE FIFTH HIGHEST IN CONTRACT AND SERVICES. DOES THAT PLAY INTO IT? ONE THING I THOUGHT OF, MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE DO TRANSPORTATION MAY BE THE CONTRACT AND SERVICES EXIT HIGHER THAN OTHER DISTRICTS.

WHAT WAS YOUR OBSERVATION WITH THAT?

>> THAT IS ONE EXAMPLE OF A HIGH CONTRACT IN TERMS OF NOT HAVING THAT SERVICE WITHIN. YOU ARE OUTSOURCING THAT SO IT IS A HIGH COST IN TERMS OF A CONTRACT. SHOULD WE HAVE A TO SOME EXTENT? FOR THIS PROPOSED BUDGET BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF WHAT WAS SUBMITTED. THERE WAS A REDUCTION WITH EXTRA HOURS. AND THAT IS PART OF THAT BECAUSE THE REVENUE HAS CHANGED SO YOU HAVE LESS REVENUE AND ARE BUDGETING LESS IN CERTAIN AREAS AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE AREAS IN TERMS OF EXTRA HOURS.

DEPENDING ON ONCE YOU KNOW THE BUDGET REVISIONS AND CARRYOVER.

YOU MAY SEE THAT INCREASE BECAUSE IT DOES TEND TO BE SOMETHING THAT ONCE THE CARRYOVER IS RELEASED, SITES WILL BUDGET MORE FOR EXTRA HOURS.

>> OKAY. THAT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING I WANT TO SEE GET BETTER. AND AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO ABOUT THAT. THAT REPORT THE ANNUAL REPORT. HAVE YOU SEEN IT?

>> I KNOW YOU MENTIONED IT AND I HAVE SEEN IT.

>> AND PRETTY COMPETITIVE AND I LIKE WHEN THEY PUT IT IN RANKINGS. ALL RIGHT. NOW WE HAVE SOME GOALS TO HIT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AND DO BETTER. I WILL KICK IT OVER TO VICE

PRESIDENTS TO WORD. >> REALLY QUICKLY. BACK TO TWO ACCOUNTS. THE TWO LINE ITEMS FOR MITIGATION FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. IF WE ARE ABOVE 10%, WHY ARE WE RECOMMENDED TO

PUT MONEY INTO IT? >> FOR FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF DIFFERENT THINGS. IT IS NOT FOR A SPECIFIC -- BUT THE BOARD CAN MAKE WHATEVER IT IS THEY MAY FEEL AND IT CAN BE REVISED.

>> I GUESS I'M CONFUSED. WERE ADDING TO ABOVE 10% WE ARE FORCED TO SPEND, RIGHT? WHY WOULD WE PUT IT THERE AT ALL?

>> THE 10% DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE FORCED TO SPEND IT. IT MEANS IT HAS TO BE COMMITTED FOR SOMETHING THE BOARD IDENTIFIED AS BEING SOMETHING THEY MAY NEED. THE RECOMMENDATION IS IT IT IS FOR SOMETHING CONSIDERED A ONE-TIME EXPENDITURE.

>> IT HAS TO BE ALLOCATED RIGHT? FOR THE ONE-TIME EXPENDITURE. BUT WE WILL ALLOCATED BECAUSE WE HAVE TO.

WOULD AND ADD MORE TO ALLOCATE? >> THIS IS NOT ALLOCATED IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET. IT IS PART OF THE ENDING FUND BALANCE. WHAT YOU WOULD NOT FIND IT IN THE ACTUAL ALLOCATION THAT YOU SEE FOR THE PROPOSED EXPENDITURE THIS IS PART OF YOUR ENDING

FUND BALANCE. >> IS IN THE FUND BALANCE, MAYBE I'M CONFUSED . IS AN ECHOING BACK AND TELLING US WE HAVE TO SPEND BECAUSE WE ARE OVER 10% ANYWAYS.

>> GOING RIGHT BACK INTO? >> THE GENERAL FUND.

>> IT IS PART OF THE ENDING FUND BALANCE NOT THE PROPOSED

EXPENDITURE. >> SOMEBODY HELP ME. IF WE WILL

[01:05:05]

ALLOCATED RIGHT NOW? >> YOU COULD MAKE A CHANGE TO IT. IF THE BOARD WANTED TO MAKE A CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT CATEGORY. IT HAS TO. BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE THAN 10%. YOU HAVE TO IDENTIFY IT AS SOME KIND OF AN ALLOCATION FOR SOME

EXPENDITURE. >> PLEASE. I STILL DON'T -- .

>> I UNDERSTAND IT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. THESE ARE EXPENDITURES IN FUND BALANCE. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. BY LAW, WE HAVE TO SPEND ANYTHING THAT IS WITHIN OVER 10%. THE STATE WANTS TO SEE THAT WE ARE ALLOCATING FUNDS THAT ARE USED TOWARD THE DISTRICT PROGRAMS. FACILITIES, THIS IS HOW THE ENDING FUND BALANCE WOULD LOOK LIKE. GIVEN THE RESERVES.

>> CORRECT. THE ENDED -- THE ENDING FUND BALANCE COMPONENTS, WE PUT MORE IN THE RESERVE WHEN THEY TELL US WE HAVE TOO MUCH TO BEGIN WITH. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND YOU HAVE TO COMMIT.

WHAT THE LAW SAYS IS ANYTHING ABOVE 10% NEEDS TO BE COMMITTED. IF WE WERE TO COMBINE IT WITH THE RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, YOU ARE UNDER THE 10% AND IT COULD GO THERE. IT COULD EVEN GO INTO THE UNASSIGNED PORTION OF IT.

BECAUSE IT IS LESS THAN 10% WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 4.5. WE JUST MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD TO GIVE IT A LINE ITEM. IT COULD GO UNDER THE UNASSIGNED. WHEN IT IS UNASSIGNED, IT MEANS THAT ANY TIME, THE BOARD CAN USE IT FOR

ANYTHING NEEDED. >> HOW OFTEN DO WE COMMIT FUNDS AND ALLOCATE FUNDS AND DON'T SPEND THEM WHERE WE COMMIT THEM? IS A SYNONYMOUS IN A WAY IS TO DO WE SPEND THEM THERE OR DO WE ALLOCATE RINGS ANYWHERE AND NOT SPEND THEM?

>> ALLOCATIONS IS DONE AT THE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET WHEN YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO IT BASED ON THE CODE AND WHAT IT SAYS WITH 10%. THAT IS A REQUIREMENT BECAUSE YOU ARE ABOVE THE 10% THRESHOLD. THAT IS UP TO THE BOARD IN TERMS OF WHEN IT OFFICIALLY COMES THROUGH. WITH THE DEFERRED FACILITIES, ONCE THE PROJECTS ARE FULLY COMPLETED, THAT IS WHEN THE FUNDING WILL COME UP FROM THERE.

>> BEFORE I CAME ON THE BOARD, WE ALLOCATED A LOT OF MONEY AND COMMITTED A LOT OF MONEY FOR CERTAIN DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN THINGS THAT WERE NEVER FILLED EVER. IS IT STILL HAPPENING IN THE DISTRICT AND CAN WE GET A LIST IF THERE WERE ANY MAJOR POSITIONS THAT WE ALLOCATED BUDGET WISE THAT WE DID NOT PLACE? AGAIN, WE ALLOCATED THEM BECAUSE WE FIELD STUDENTS NEED THEM. ARE THERE ANY TYPES OF POSITIONS WE DID NOT FILL AND WE PUT THE MONEY BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND? CAN WE GET THAT

INFORMATION PLEASE? >> THAT IS FOR THE PROPOSED EXPENDITURES AND WE CAN GET YOU A LIST OF VACANCIES.

>> THANK YOU VICE PRESIDENTS DO IT. MS. GARZA CUSTOMER

>> THANK YOU PRESIDENT CRUTCHFIELD. I WANT TO KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? DO WE WANT TO PLACE THOSE TOGETHER?

>> WE CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW. >> LIKE I SAID. I'M NOT AN ACCOUNT. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE REASONS FOR THINGS. IT IS A GOOD CONVERSATION TO HAVE. BUT I AM GUESSING SOME THINGS ARE JUST MADE VISUALLY. SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND THEM HERE. BUT ACCOUNTING WISE, THERE MAY BE REASONS FOR IT OTHERWISE. I THINK IT IS A GOOD CONVERSATION TO HAVE. AGAIN, THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE CLARITY ON SOME OF THAT.

>> TO YOUR RESPONSE, MS. GARZA, I WOULD BELIEVE THAT THE MORE WE HAVE THINGS DELINEATED, AND REGARDS TO HOW EACH COMPONENT WILL BE IDENTIFIED, THEN WHEN WE MOVE THINGS AROUND, WE ARE CLEAR. LIKE IF SOMETHING IS BEING MOVED FROM ONE AREA TO ANOTHER. WE KNOW WHY AND WHAT IS BEING USED FOR. IF YOU ANSWER A LUMP IT ALL TOGETHER, WE ARE NOT QUITE SURE IF ANOTHER AREA MIGHT NEED OR NOT NEED A SUPPLEMENT. THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. TO ME, I LIKE SEEING THE BREAKDOWN AND BEING ABLE TO KNOW IF WE WILL BE MOVING MORE MONEY TO DEFERRED FACILITIES. BECAUSE COSTS WERE INCREASED AND WE WILL NEED MORE THAN THE 26 MILLION IDENTIFIED. AND THEN, THAT'LL BE COMING FROM OUR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. WILL BE COMING FROM THE RESERVED MITIGATION ECONOMIC CONCERNS?

>> THAT IS GOOD TO UNDERSTAND FOR ME. WHEN WE MOVE THINGS

[01:10:05]

>> SO, AS FAR AS THE RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, I REALLY DO THINK WE SHOULD KEEP THE 3% THERE SO WE CAN KNOW IT IS THERE. THAT IS THE BARE MINIMUM. THAT IS A RAINY DAY FUND. TO KEEP IT SEPARATED , AGAIN, I AGREE WITH DR. --. IT HELPS US SEE WHERE THE MONEY IS. WE HAVE IT ALL IN THE RESERVE. AND PEOPLE SEE IT AND ABLE MISINTERPRET IT. HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE. WHY DO WE HAVE SO MUCH IN RESERVE WHEN WE NEED IT NOW? LET'S LEAVE IT THERE. I'M TELLING YOU. WE WILL NEED MORE FOR THE FACILITY. AND THEN, ALL OF THOSE THINGS WILL COME OUT IN THE ACTUAL , WHEN THEY ACTUALLY SPEND IT. SO THAT IS WHAT WE REALLY HAVE TO LOOK FOR. WHEN WE HAVE THE ACTUAL SPENDING. THAT REPORT THAT COMES OUT. YEAH. MAKE IT MORE CLEAR FOR US. BUT, THE ACTUAL AUDITS.

>> THANK YOU, MS. ARMSTRONG. ON THAT NOTE, JUST SO I AM CLEAR.

3% FOR THE RAINY DAY FUND. THAT IS AN ALLOCATION TO BE PUT IN THE RESERVE? BUT THERE'S NOT A BUCKET THAT HAS ALL OF THE 3% THAT WENT INTO THE BUCKET. WE KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE RESERVE

CAME FROM THAT, RIGHT? >> THE 3% IS THE MINIMUM REQUIRED RESERVE AND DISTRICT MUST HAVE IN ORDER TO HAVE A POSITIVE CERTIFICATION. TO SAY THEY WILL MEET THEIR FISCAL OBLIGATIONS. ANYTHING ABOVE THAT, AND EVEN UP TO 10%, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO COMMIT. IN TERMS OF , I WANT TO MAKE SURE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I

UNDERSTAND. >> LET ME TRY TO GET THERE. I THINK LAST YEAR, IT WAS 7% OR 6.8. THIS YEAR, IT IS THREE AND +4. I THINK RIGHT? SEVEN TOTAL. OUT OF THE RESERVE, IT IS PARTITIONED TO SAY THIS IS HOW MUCH WE WERE PUTTING ASIDE YEAR AFTER YEAR FOR THE RAINY DAY FUND.

>> YOUR 3% REQUIRED WILL CHANGE DEPENDING ON YOUR EXPENDITURES.

THE BUDGETED EXPENDITURES. THAT IS WHY THE FLUCTUATES. TO UNDERSTAND WHY FLUCTUATES BASED ON PERCENTAGE RELATIVE. IN A RESERVE RIGHT NOW, WITH THE MONEY ALL COME FROM ? IS THERE A WAY TO TRACE BACK WHERE THE MONEY WAS SPENT YEARS BEFORE.

IN THE RESERVE NOW? DOES IT GET THEM THAN THERE. DOES IT ALL

GET DUMPED IN THERE? >> IT GOES INTO THE FUND UNLESS RESTRICTED. IF RESTRICTED, IT HAS TO STAY AS RESTRICTED FUNDS WHICH YOU HAVE COMPONENTS THERE. THAT WAS THE ARTS AND MUSIC GRANT AS WELL AS THE EL OP. THE TWO MAJOR ONES IN TERMS OF CONTRIBUTING TO RESTRICTED. THE OTHER FUNDING HAS COME INTO

THE GENERAL FUND. >> SO I GET, IT DOESN'T SAY

WHERE THE MONEY WAS SAVED? >> IT COULD BE INTEREST. IT CAN BE SUPPLEMENTAL WITH CONCENTRATION AND INTEREST. IT COULD BE A VARIETY OF UNRESTRICTED FUNDS THAT THE

DISTRICT RECEIVES. >> I WILL KICK IT OVER TO MS. ARMSTRONG IN A SECOND. OKAY. VICE PRESIDENTS DO WORD. IN GENERAL, I THINK THERE WAS A SPENDING PROBLEM. WE HAVE A LOT OF LADIES -- A LOT OF -- THAT NEED A LOT OF WORK. A LOT OF PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES. ALL THE GREAT IDEAS I HEARD FROM STAFF. THIS IS WHEN WE GET TO DO THOSE THINGS AND ACTUALLY SPEND THE MONEY ON THIS YEAR'S KIDS. I'M HOPING WE DO THAT.

WE HAVE TO DO THAT. I ENCOURAGE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO DEVELOP A SPENDING PLAN WITH STAFF. THAT MEETS REALLY WHERE WE KNOW WE

[01:15:02]

>> WHAT MR. CRITCHFIELD IS DISCUSSING ARE THE SPECIAL FUNDS THAT ARE PART OF THE REPORTING FOR THE BUDGET. IN THE CAFETERIA FUND, THE ESTIMATED ACTUALS FOR 23 AND 24 WERE 5,136,283. IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET, THERE IS 7,000,120. IN THE BINDER IN FRONT OF YOU I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS ABLE TO KNOW WHAT MR. CRITCHFIELD SHARING WITH YOU.

THAT IS FORM 13. WE PROVIDED YOU WITH BINDER WITH TABS. THAT IS YOUR CAFETERIA SPECIAL REVENUE FUND. THAT IS BASED ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT THE NUTRITION SERVICES HAS PROVIDED. TO US IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY SEE THAT THEY NEED FOR SPENDING. HOWEVER, THE FUND IS MONITORED VERY CLOSELY BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IN REGARDS TO THEIR ACTUAL EXPENDITURES. IF THEY DO HIT A CERTAIN THRESHOLD IN TERMS OF ENDING FUND BALANCE, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COME UP WITH AN ENDING , I'M SORRY, A SPENDING PLAN.

>> WHAT IS THE THRESHOLD? >> I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER I KNOW WE ARE NOT THERE YET OR ELSE THEY WOULD BE HAVING TO SUBMIT A SPENDING PLAN. WITH THE REASON FOR MAYBE THEM DECIDING TO SPEND A LITTLE LESS IS THEY MAY BE SEEING THAT WE MAY NOT GET FUNDS IN THE FUTURE AND THEY WANT COMPLETE PROGRAMS BUT WE HAVE TO GET MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU ON

THAT. >> ENCOURAGES SPENDING PLAN.

AND I KNOW A LOT OF SITES USE OUR FOOD SERVICES WHICH IS AMAZING AND THEY DO A GREAT JOB. I KNOW A LOT OF THE SITE FUNDS GO TO CATERING. IT IS GOING TO THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK IF THEY ARE IN THE SURPLUS AND THE REST OF THE DISTRICT IS LOOKING FOR CUTS, I EXPECT THERE TO BE SOME TYPE OF , WHAT'S THE WORD? SUBSIDIZING. WHEN SITES ARE MAKING AN ORDER WE ARE NOT CHARGING FULL PRICE. FOR THE SITES BECAUSE WE LIKE TO KEEP THE SITE MONEY THERE TO SPEND IT ON THE STUDENTS. I DON'T KNOW WHO OVERSEES THAT DIRECTLY. BUT, I ENCOURAGE THE SPENDING PLAN. I THINK IT IS TOTALLY NECESSARY. AND REALLY LOOK AT HOW WE CONDUCT BUSINESS WITH THE OTHER SITES. TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT JUST KIND OF LIKE, IT GOES BACK ANYWAY. THEY ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE CAFETERIA. THEY GET CHARGED, I DON'T KNOW. I WOULD

LIKE TO SEE IT HAPPEN. >> I WANT TO COMMENT IN REGARDS TO THESE SPECIAL FUNDS. YOU HAVE DIFFERENT FUNDS THAT ARE PART OF THE STAFF REPORTING. THOSE WHILE THE BOARD DOESN'T MONITOR THE SENSE EXPENDITURE, THEY ARE THERE TO ENSURE THEY ARE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. IF THEY WERE TO GET IN TROUBLE, THE FUND WOULD HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE INTO THE SPECIAL FUNDS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THEM SO IF THERE WAS A SITUATION , THE GENERAL FUND WOULD HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE

TO THOSE FUNDS. >> RIGHT. UNDERSTOOD. VICE

PRESIDENT STEWARD? >> ONE THING GOING BACK TO THE TOPICS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. WHEN PRES. CRITCHFIELD WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW HE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN WE COULD SEE WHAT CARRIES OVER, THAT IS SEPTEMBER 15 WITH THE UNAUDITED ACTUALS. WE WILL SEE EXACTLY WHERE WE DID IN BUDGET

CORRECTLY. >> YOU SEE THE ACTUAL UNAUDITED ACTUALS IN TERMS OF WHAT CAME TO WHAT IT WAS CLOSED.

>> I HEAR MY COLLEAGUES AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING ABOUT BEING CLEAR. EVERY BOARD MEETING, WE MOVE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FROM CATEGORY TO CATEGORY. JUST BECAUSE WE PUT IT IN A CERTAIN PLACE DOESN'T MEAN IT STAYS THERE.

WE ALREADY POINTED OUT HOW MANY TIMES WE MOVED BOOKS AND SUPPLIES AND CAPITAL OUTLAY. WHERE IT IS ALLOCATED, I FEEL LIKE IF WE ARE ABOVE THE RESERVE NUMBERS, WHY DO WE ALLOCATED THERE WHEN WE ARE ALREADY ABOVE? MAYBE I'M STILL

[01:20:01]

SENSE TO ME. TO . >> THOSE ARE ALL WITHIN THE PROPOSED BUDGET NOT THE ENDING FUND BALANCE. IF YOU COULD MOVE ANY OF THE MONEY, YOU WOULD NEED A RESOLUTION TO MOVE IT.

THAT IS ALWAYS IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

>> IF THEY DON'T SPEND THE BUDGET, WHERE DOES THE MONEY

GO? >> DEPENDING ON THE CATEGORY, IF IT IS RESTRICTED, IT'LL GO INTO RESTRICTED. BUT WE DO RELEASE THE CARRYOVER AND IT MAY GO BACK TO THE SITES AND THEY BE BUDGETED. THAT IS WHAT WE CALL THE REVISIONS OF THE BUDGET WITH THE CARRYOVER RELEASE.

>> THE MAJORITY IS UNRESTRICTED, CORRECT?

>> YES. A GOOD PORTION. >> MOST OF THE MONEY GOES BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND, CORRECT?

>> THE MAJORITY OF IT. IF IT'S NOT SPENCE WHEN ALLOCATED, IT GOES BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND AND THE MAJORITY OF THE FUND IS

UNRESTRICTED, CORRECT? >> WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR PAGER IN TERMS OF REVENUE, THE LCF, LOOKING AT THE PAGE THERE, --.

>> BEFORE YOU TELL ME, ANSWER YES OR NO FOR ME. THE MAJORITY OF MONEY IS UNRESTRICTED AND IF ALLOCATED NOT SPENT, IT GOES

BACK TO GENERAL FUND, CORRECT? >> THE MAJORITY IS UNRESTRICTED AND IT GOES INTO THE GENERAL FUND AT THAT POINT WHEN THE

BOOKS ARE CLOSED. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT STEWARD.

>> I WANT TO COMMENT, PRES. CRITCHFIELD. WHEN HE ASKED WITH THE MONEY IS SPENT ON STUDENTS, THAT IS THE OUTCOME. IF WE WANT TO MAKE CHANGES AS A BOARD, NOW'S THE TIME TO MAKE THE CHANGE ON ANY PROGRAMS HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

>> THE PURPOSE OF THE L CAT. MAKE SURE MONEY IS SPENT ON OUR STUDENTS FOR THE PROGRAMS, HERE IT IS.

>> AND I APPRECIATE THAT. THE SET DIRECTION AND CREATE A PRIORITY. IN MY OPINION, RESPECTFULLY, IF IT IS NOT ON THE BUDGET, YOU DON'T HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT NEXT TO IT, THAT'LL SHOW THE PRIORITIES. AND HISTORICALLY, I THINK THE PLAN TO SPEND MONEY AND INVEST IN THINGS IN THE ACTUALLY DOING IT ARE TWO SEPARATE THINGS. THAT IS KIND OF MY POINT OF BRINGING THAT UP. WE CAN HAVE IT AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE WILL DO. MAKE SURE IT IS EXECUTED. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. TWO IT WAS ESTIMATED DOLLAR AMOUNTS OF THE PROGRAMS.

FOR THE L CAT. >> WHICH PROGRAM?

>> THE ENTIRE LCAP WITH THE PROJECTED BUDGET. WHAT WE WILL BE SPENDING, YEAR ONE, YEAR TWO, YEAR THREE.

>> I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. THE GOAL ONE IS TO PROVIDE SAFE SCHOOLS AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES I BELIEVE.

THAT IS GOAL ONE, RIGHT? HOW WE ARE DOING THAT IS WE WILL LOOK AT THE BUDGET AND SEE ARE WE INVESTING IN MORE SECURITY. ARE WE LOOKING AT A PROACTIVE SECURITY HUB FOR THE CAMPUSES TO BE PROACTIVE WITH SECURITY. ARE WE DOING NEW CAMERAS? THAT IS WHERE I THINK THE BUDGET IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENT WE OVERSEE IS A BOARD. VICE PRESIDENT STEWARD.

>> IF I AM CORRECT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THE PROPOSED BUDGET AND EL CAPITAN TOGETHER? WE WERE OVER HOWEVER MANY MILLION DOLLARS BASED ON IT. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE PROVEN TRUE THE LAST FEW YEARS. WE ARE UNDER BUDGETED. WE DID IT THE LAST THREE YEARS AND WE ARE UNDER BUDGETED BECAUSE WE PUT IT IN DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY IS BEING SPENT.

AM I CORRECT? >> MY UNDERSTANDINGS WHEN HE PUT IT INTO THE L CAT. ANYBODY CAN ALLOCATE FUNDS TO A PROGRAM

THAT IS THE TIME TO DO IT. >> THAT IS WHAT WE DO THESE THINGS. TOGETHER. I'M GOING TO FURTHER THE CONVERSATION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? NO? ARE YOU GOING FOR?

>> I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE BOARD IS INTERESTED AS WELL.

FOR THE FOUR YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BUDGET. TO ME, IT'S EMBARRASSING FOR ME TO NOT UNDERSTAND IT QUITE FULLY. CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME MAYBE

[01:25:04]

TERMS AND TERMINOLOGY. BECAUSE I THINK IT IS SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW YOU AND STAFF. MOSTLY STAFF.

WITHOUT THE DEEP KNOWLEDGE THAT OUR STAFF HAS. I THINK IT IS A VERY, I DON'T WANT TO GET IT WRONG. THIS IS FOR OUR KIDS AND I AGREE WITH BOARD MEMBERS. WE ARE NOT A BANK. WE NEED TO SPEND AS MUCH AS WE CAN FOR OUR KIDS FOR TODAY. IF I MYSELF CAN EDUCATE MYSELF AND BE BETTER AND THAT'S, I THINK I'LL BE MAKING A LOT BETTER DECISIONS BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS RIGHT NOW , WE DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE ANYBODY'S TIME.

>> OKAY. WHAT I CAN PROVIDE YOU IF YOU ALLOW ME TIME AND A FEW DAYS TO DO THIS. WHY DON'T WE PULL TOGETHER A SUMMARY DOCUMENTARY THAT HELPS YOU WALK THROUGH THE BUDGET AND THE LCAP AND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FROM SEE SBA AND OTHER SOURCES TALKING ABOUT BACK TO BASE HIS BUDGETING PROCEDURES? IT'LL HELP YOU WALK THROUGH MAYBE SOME OF THE DOCUMENTS WE SHARED ABOUT OUR TIMELINE AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE HERE? WE CAN DO A DEEPER DIVE WALK THROUGH THE BUDGET OF THAT CAN HELP.

>> THAT'LL BE HELPFUL FOR ME AND MYSELF. I DON'T KNOW IF MY COLLEAGUES WOULD LIKE TO JOIN ME. BECAUSE THEN I'D UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND TALKING. THE REASONS WHY YOU DO THESE THINGS. TO ME, IT IS NOT VERY CLEAR YET. I DO UNDERSTAND SOME OF IT AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY I'M NAÏVE TO ALL OF IT. THERE ARE CERTAIN HOLDS THAT I HAVE. I FEEL IT NEED A REMEDIAL CLASS ON BUDGET. IF I WANT TO BE THE BEST BOARD MEMBER FOR STUDENTS AND KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY, I NEED TO FEEL -- FILL THE HOLES NOW.

>> UNDERSTOOD. WILL GET A CLEAR FOR YOU.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT HUMILITY WE HAVE. I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND IT WELL ENOUGH. THAT IS KIND OF WHERE WE ARE AT RIGHT NOW. WE UNDERSTAND IT MORE AND MORE. THERE ARE RINGS THAT COULD BE BETTER. THERE ARE DEFINITELY THINGS THAT COULD BE BETTER. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THE MORE YOU UNDERSTAND THE MORE YOU FEEL LIKE WHAT AM I MISSING? I THINK YOU ARE BEING VERY HUMBLE WITH THAT. BUT I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU STEPH FOR DOING THAT.

YOU FOR ANSWERING ALL THE QUESTIONS. I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT. THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF THE BOARD. BUDGET OVERSIGHT. I KNOW ME AND ALL BOARD MEMBERS TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY. I HONESTLY BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE A GREAT YEAR. AND WE WILL DO GREAT THINGS IN THIS DISTRICT. BUT IT STARTS WITH THE BUDGET. HAVING IT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AS A DISTRICT. I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK. THANK YOU COLLEAGUES FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS. THAT I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? MOVING ONTO

[6.1 RESOLUTION MAP ADOPTION AND ELECTION SEQUENCING: It is proposed that the Board of Education adopt the Resolution adopting By-Trustee election map and election sequencing.]

>> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO SAY. VERY BRIEF COMMENT. THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITIES AND OUR STAFF. THAT WAS A VERY TIGHT SCHEDULE THAT WE HAD TO RUN. I APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK AND EFFORT THAT WENT INTO DOING THAT . I KNOW IT WASN'T EASY.

IN MY COLLEAGUES I WANT TO THANK YOU AS WELL FOR HAVING THOSE AND THAT FORESIGHT TO CONTINUE THAT WORK. AND TO ALSO, ESPECIALLY. I WANT TO GIVE PROPS TO OUR BOARD MEMBERS, STUART. IF IT WASN'T FOR HER BRINGING IT UP AT THE BEGINNING, I KNOW I WAS LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WE DON'T NEED TO DO THIS. YES WE DID. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT WE ARRIVED THAT WAS APPROVED BY A 5-0 VOTE. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING ON. THANKS.

>> THANK YOU, MDM. CLERK. TO I APPRECIATE THIS 100%. THE REASON I BROUGHT IT UP WAS BECAUSE OF COMMUNITY -- THEY
