[X. COMMUNICATIONS]
FIRST DO WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM C SEAAVAILABLE. MOVING ON N. T. A.[INAUDIBLE] >> SOME DAY I'LL LEARN.
OKAY. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.
GOOD EVENING, TRUSTEE GRANT AND EVERYBODY ELSE.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL. I'M OUT OF PRACTICE.
IT HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
[LAUGHTER] I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING ANY MORE. [LAUGHTER] SO I KNOW THE BIG NEWS EVERYONE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT IS THE ERAD RATION OF THE TENTATIVE AGREEMENT.
CURRENTLY OUR GENERAL MEMBERSHIP IS VOTING SO I WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE THE VOTE SOON.
JUST HAPPENED THAT OUR ELECTION COINCIDED WITH THE PRIMARY YESTERDAY, THE START OF OURS WHICH WAS A FUN COINCIDENCE. I'M SURE EVERYBODY ENJOYED GETTING TEXT MESSAGES FROM ME AS WELL.
IT WAS -- BUT LIKE ANY ELECTION IT'LL TAKE US A FEW DAYS BUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHARE FINAL RESULT SOON.
I WANT TO SPEAK TONIGHT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE EXCITEMENT WE'VE MOVING FORWARD WITH SOME OTHER INITIATIVES COMING TO NATOMAS UNIFIED AND I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, LOOKING OVER THE AGENDA FOR TONIGHT, I WAS LOOKING AT HOW MANY PROGRAMS WE HAVE THAT INVOLVE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AND HOW MUCH WE ALREADY WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND THINGS THAT ARE COMMUNITY BASED. SO AS WE SEE THE GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, I REALIZED FOR MOST OF US IN EDUCATION THE WORD COMMUNITY SCHOOLS MEANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE PAST. MOVING FORWARD THIS IS A DIFFERENT USE OF THAT WORD. BUT NUSD DID GET THE PLANNING GRANT TO START LOOKING AT THAT.
SO ALL ACROSS COUNTRY WE'RE SEEING HOW THESE COMMUNITIES WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF AREAS WITHIN A COMMUNITY. SO LOOKING AT NATOMAS AS NOT A MONOLITHSIC AREA BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT NEEDS IN DIFFERENT PLACES. WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE DIFFERENTLY. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING SURE THAT THE VOICES OF EVERYBODY ARE INCLUDED IN THAT CONVERSATION. SO WE'RE LOOKING TO HELP FULLY IMPLEMENT THE SCHOOLS AND BEING PART OF THE DECISION MAKING STRUCTURE THAT INCLUDES PARENTS AND TEACHERS AND STAFF. AND THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. A LOT OF WHOM ARE ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT ALREADY. THIS KIND OF STRUCTURE IS REALLY KNOWN TO BE SUCCESSFUL ACROSS COUNTRY.
[00:05:01]
AND IT'S REALLY FUNCTIONAL FOR THESE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS.SO I THINK THAT, LIKE, LOOKING AT DISTRICTS THAT ARE ALREADY AHEAD OF US DOING AMAZING THINGS, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN SCHOOLS DOING ARE OFFERING HOUSING FOR FAMILIES THAT ARE UNHOME AND DON'T HAVE PLACES TO LIVE AT NIGHT. SCHOOLS ARE ABLE TO SET UP PLACES FOR THOSE STUDENTS TO STAY ON CAMPUS AND BE SAFE.
SO I'VE BEEN COLLECTING ALL THINGS AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT. SO WE WOULD JUST TO TALK ABOUT WHAT I'M ADVOCATING A LITTLE BIT HERE IS THAT EDUCATORS IN NATOMAS ARE ADVOCATING FOR A STEERING COMMITTEE MODEL THAT HAS A SHARED DECISION MAKING STRUCTURE, THAT DOES INCLUDE PARENTS, EDUCATORS AND STAFF ALONGSIDE A DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS AS WE MOVE TO LOOK TO HOW WE CAN CHANGE THE DISTRICT WITH THESE, LIKE I SAID BEFORE IT'S OUR GOAL, WE SHARE THIS GOAL WITH THE DISTRICT MEETING THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF STUDENT AND THEIR FAMILIES, COMMUNITY SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE A BIG BENEFIT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE IMPLEMENT THE THINGS CORRECTLY AND IT'S GOING TO HELP US CREATE SOLUTIONS.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SHARE TONIGHT.
I'M SURE YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM ME IN THE NEXT DAY OR
>> NEXT UP OUR HONORABLE BOARD MEMBERS, TRUSTEE
I WANT TO SAY WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME I HAD AT ALL THE PROMOTIONAL CEREMONIES AND THE GRADUATIONS.
IT WAS REALLY REMARKABLE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THE NATOMAS COMMUNITY WELLNESS FESTIVAL JUNE 28 FROM 5:00 TO 7:30 ARE LOOKING FOR YOUTHS TO PARTICIPATE IN A YOUNG ADULT PANEL AND THERE WILL BE A $100 STIPEND. ANYONE INTERESTED CONTACT SANDY S-A-N-D-I-E AT L@CONNECT C.T.P..ORG OR
>> YEAH, I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE THING ABOUT THE CELEBRATIONS AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
THOSE WERE GREAT. ENJOYED GRADUATION, ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF AT LEAST MY OF THE BEING A TRUSTEE.
REALLY GREAT TO SEE THE KIDS WALK ACROSS THE STAGE AND HOW EXCITED THEY ARE AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY GET ON TO THE COURT AREA. ALSO I WANT TO SAY THAT I WAS REALLY -- IT WAS NICE TO ATTEND BEFORE GRADUATION HAPPENED THE RECLASSIFICATION EVENT AT NATOMAS HIGH SCHOOL. TRUSTEE KAPLAN AND I WERE.
THERE IT'S NICE TO SEE KIDS WHO RECLASSIFIED BECAUSE FOR SOME STUDENTS IT'S A STRUGGLE TRYING TO LEARN A SECOND LANGUAGE AND THEN NOT ONLY DOES LEARN THE SECOND LANGUAGE BUT BE PROFICIENT IN A SECOND LANGUAGE ENOUGH TO BE RECLASSIFIED SO THAT YOU CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT SKILL LEVEL. SO THAT WAS AN EXCITING EVENT. IT WAS ALSO NICE TO SEE ALL OF THE PRINCIPALS THERE. THEY EACH AT THEIR SCHOOLS HAD A TABLE AND THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY, STAFF WAS THERE.
AND THEY HAD THINGS THAT YOU COULD TAKE AND THINGS THAT YOU COULD PARTICIPATE IN AND SO I LIKE THE IDEA OF SEEING ALL OF PRINCIPALS AND STAFF. I THOUGHT WOW, WE SHOULD DO THAT. YOU KNOW.
MAYBE ANOTHER TIME DURING THE YEAR JUST TO SEE EVERYBODY MAYBE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR TO SEE EVERYBODY ALL TOGETHER.
I KNOW IT PUTS A LITTLE -- I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK BUT IT WAS GREAT TO GO FROM TABLE TO TABLE TO SEE EVERYBODY AND BUT ANYWAY I ENJOYED TALKING TO THE PARENTS, KIDS, TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS.
IT WAS NICE TO HAVE EVERYBODY THERE.
SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED TO PUT THAT EVENT TOGETHER BECAUSE THAT WAS, AGAIN, ANOTHER ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. THERE THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, TRUSTEE HEREDIA.
TRUSTEE KAPLAN. >> I WANT TO ECHO TRUSTEE HARDEN AND TRUSTEE HEREDIA'S COMMENTS AND EVERYBODY, GRADUATION WAS JUST A SPECIAL TIME.
TO BE UP CLOSE AND SEE THE JOY IN THE STUDENTS' EYES SOME WHO WERE SO NERVOUS THEY WANTED TO JUST KEEP WALKING ON THE STAGE AND OTHERS THAT WANTED TO SHOUT AND CONGRATULATIONS. IT IS DEFINITELY A SPECIAL TIME AND THE RECLASSIFICATION EVENT, I AGREE, TRUSTEE HERD WHY, I THINK THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC WE'VE MISSED GETTING TOGETHER AND MISSED THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO REALLY CELEBRATE.
I KNOW AS WE START NEXT YEAR, THERE WILL BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES. I THINK STAFF AND STUDENTS AND FAMILIES REALLY APPRECIATE IT: I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OUR HARD-WORKING EMPLOYEES.
I KNOW WE'VE REACHED TENTATIVE AGREEMENTS AND NOTHING IS FINAL YET, BUT TO OUR MANAGEMENT STAFF, TO OUR
[00:10:06]
UNION STAFF, BOTH CERTIFICATED AND CLASSIFIED, LIKE, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR NATOMAS BEING A SHINING EXAMPLE OF HOW TO WORK TOGETHER.AND COME TOGETHER FOR THE RIGHT REASONS AND I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE WORK YOU'V DONE.

LEADERS, STAFF, AND FAMILIES WERE ALL NOTIFIED OF THE PUBLISHING OF THE DRAFT. THE BIG PART OF THIS REPORT IS THAT IT IS AN UPDATE TO THE 212-24 LCAP, DO YOU REMEMBER THE 3 YEAR LCAP THAT YOU ADOPTED LAST YEAR.
THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE 3-YEAR PLAN.
THE PLAN INCLUDES ALL OF THE COMPONENTS IN THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AS LISTED HERE.
THEN JUST SOME SIDE NOTES AS FAR AS UPDATES.
BACK IN OCTOBER, THE BOARD APPROVED A SHIFTING SEVEN SOCIAL WORKER FROM PANDEMIC FUNDING TO ONGOING L. C. F.
F. FUNDING, THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE WILL.
CAP. TONIGHT WE'LL PRESENT A PRESENTATION AND RECOMMENDATION TO SHIFT THE REMAINING FIVE SOCIAL WORKERS TO ALSO ONGOING L.
C. F. F. FUNDING. THAT WILL COME UP IN A FEW MOMENTS. THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT WE HAD 18 MONTH LEARNING RECOVERY PLAN.
IT HAS BEEN RENAMED TO LEARNING RECOVERY PLAN WITHOUT THE TIME PIECE ASSOCIATED TO IT.
THEN WE ALSOS UPDATED A TITLE TO ACTION 3.13 TO 3 YEAR DIVERSITY EK QUILTY AND INCLUSION PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS INCLUDED RECENT SUPPORT AND BUDGET ACTION RELATED TO LIBRARY BOOKS AND CLASSROOM BOOK SETS TO SUPPORT A. R. 0100.

THERE IS EXTENSIVE INFORMATION RECORDING A GOALS ANALYSIS FOR EACH GOAL. THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE BOARD REPORTS THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED OR LINKS TO THE BOARDS REPORT. THEN ALSO A BUDGET TO EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS. WHAT WAS PLANNED FOR THEN WHEN WE SPENT. THAT IS ALL PART OF THE NEW FORMAT AND NEW TEMPLATE FOR THE WILL.
CAP INCLUDED IN -- LCAP ALL INCLUDED IN THE REPORT.
[00:15:02]

AND -- >> REMINDER, THIS AND THE BUDGET ON THE 23 WE HAVE TO APPROVE TO MAKE SURE WE ENTER INTO THE 22-23 READY TO GO.
>> DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE IS ANY PUBLIC COMMENT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS. DISCUSSION, COMMENTS,
QUESTION, TRUSTEES? >> I HAVE A COMMENT.
SO WHEN I DOWNLOADED THIS, IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO READ.
WHEN I WENT ON THE WEBSITE TO LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS A PART WHERE SOMEONE CAN PUT IN COMMENTS.
MAYBE IT WAS JUST THE COMPUTER THAT I'M USING, BUT IT LOOKED AS THOUGH IT OVERLAND SO YOU COULDN'T SEE THE ENTIRE PAGE. SO THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MECHANISM WHERE I'M JUST NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT, BUT IT WAS COVERING PART OF IT SO JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
>> WE'LL TAKE A LOOK. >> I STRUGGLED WITH IT BUT THEN I STRUGGLE WITH TECHNOLOGY SO.
[LAUGHTER] SO IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN JUST ME. AND I WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. BUT OTHERWISE, YEAH, I WENT THROUGH IT AND THANK YOU. I KNOW THIS IS -- I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK THIS IS. AND I KNOW THAT THE NEW TEMPLATE ADDED A LOT OF STUFF.
SO APPRECIATIVE OF THE TIME FOR EVERYONE WHO IS INVOLVED IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND FACT WE DO ALLOW PEOPLE TO GIVE INPUT THEN ALL OF THAT IS TRANSLATED BACK IN HERE.
>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, TRUSTEE HEREDIA. TRUSTEE HARDEN.
>> I HE CAN OX WHAT TRUSTEE HEREDIA SAID.
HOW MUCH DO YOU FEEDBACK HAVE YOU GOTTEN AT THIS
POINT IN TIME? >> IT WAS ABOUT FIVE COMMENTS. DIFFERENT FROM LAST YEAR WITH THE FULL YEAR ADOPTION. SO, TYPICALLY IN THE PAST, THE SECOND YEAR, THIRD YEAR IT'S NOT AS MUCH FEEDBACK BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY READ THE LCAP FROM THE PRYOR YEAR. THESE ARE MINOR UPDATES THAT
EXIST THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. >> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR
HARD WORK. >> I APPRECIATE, I WANT TO CALL UP THOUGH WHILE THE LCAP.
THIS IS A MINOR UPDATE ONE OF THE MAJOR THINGS IS THE FACT WE'RE SHIFTING TO ONGOING SOCIAL WORKERS NOT JUST THE SEVEN BUT IT'S LATER ON THAT THE PORED THAT WE'LL HAVE PERMANENT SOCIAL WORKERS AT EVERY SITE.
THAT'S NOT A LITTLE THING SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS AT LEAST CALLED OUT HERE WE'RE MAKING THAT
COMMITMENT, THAT IS HUGE. >> OKAY.
[INAUDIBLE] >> MOVED BY TRUSTEE KAPLAN.
>> SECOND. >> SECOND BY TRUSTEE HARDEN.
>> NOTION CARRIES 5-0. HEARING IS CLOSED.
[XIII.b. 2022-2023 Proposed Budget]
I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE 2022, 2023 PROPOSED BUDGET P P. SUPERINTENDENT BILL YOUNG HAS A PRESENTATION FOR THIS ITEM.>> AS PRESENT GRANT MENTIONED THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PROPOSED DRAFT BUDGET FOR 23-23. THAT WILL BE BROUGHT TO YOU FOR FULL ADOPTION AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.
THIS IS ALSO PUBLIC DOCUMENT THAT HAS BEEN SHARED POSTED IN THE FRONT LOBBY AS WELL AS ON THE WEB SITE.
TONIGHT'S OBJECTIVES WITH THE BRIEF PRESENTATION IS SHARE THE HIGHLIGHTS AND ASSUMPTIONS OF DEVELOPING THE 22-23 BUDGET. PRESENT OUR FORECASTED REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND RESERVES THEN PRESENT THE MULTIYEAR BUDGET ASSUMPTION. ONE OF THE PIECES I WANT TO NOTE THIS PRESENTATION WAS DEVELOPED AS WELL AS THE BUDGET BASED ON BEST FINANCIAL INFORMATION FROM THE STATE LEVEL, FROM OUR RESOURCES, SCHOOL SERVICES OF CALIFORNIA AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP ADVISE US IN IF BUDGET DEVELOPMENT AND BUDGET INFORMATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD BUT THAT FINANCIAL DATA WAS AS OF MAY 27. I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT DATE BECAUSE MAY 31, WE HAD A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT. SO THAT'S GOING TO SHIFT
[00:20:02]
MOVING FORWARD. I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.PRESENTED IS A POSITIVELY CERTIFIED BUDGET MEANING WE CAN AFFORD THE 22-23 YEAR AND THE 2 OUT YEARS, THAT EQUALS POSITIVE CERTIFICATION FOR ANY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SPECIFICALLY FOR US, THIS INCLUDES THE 3% RESERVE REQUIREMENT. WE FORECASTED OUT 10,837 STUDENTS NEXT YEAR. THAT IS 100 GROWTH OTHER THE CURRENT YEAR BASED ON OUR FORECASTING FOR GROWTH IN THE REGION. FOR THE OUTYEARS THE SECOND AND THIRD YEAR WE PROJECTED FLAT GROWTH AT THIS TIME.
AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDS AT 10,084.
AS YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO INCREASE THE ATTENDANCE RATE. WE'RE FORECASTING 93%.
IN THE OUTYEARS WE'LL FORECAST 94% ATTEND RATE,
95%. >> I'M GOING TO HIGH LIGHT MORE. TYPICALLY IT'S 95%, IT HAS BEEN 95 .SOMETHING FOR A LONG TIME.
YOU HEARD THE PANDEMIC TOTALLY TORN THAT DOWN.
PART OF OUR SMART BUDGETING IS A GRADUATED GROWTH.
THIS IS FOR COMMUNITY TO KNOW WHO IS WATCHING OR WHO IS IN THE AUDIENCE, WE'RE NOT JUST PRETENDING LIKE WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO JUMP BACK TO 95% AS COVID SPEAK AGAIN. ALL THESE THINGS GOING ON OUT THERE. WE'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS FOR A WHILE. SO WE'RE NOT BANKING OUR BUDGET ON CONTINUED GROWTH IN NATOMAS, THAT HAPPENED BEFORE. WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU TEND TO GO WE CAN SPEND A LOT 2 AND 3 YEARS OUT AND THE CUTS COME AND IT'S BAD. THAT'S WHY WHEN PEOPLE GO WHY DO YOU HAVE 0 AND 0, ALL IT TAKES IS AN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND OUR GROWTH CAN GO FLAT QUICKLY AND THE SECOND THING WE CAN'T HOPE THAT 95.6 RETURNS BACK.
SO WE HAVE A GRADUATED PLAN. THAT IS OUR WAY TO GET AT THIS SMARTLY SO WE RETURN HOPEFULLY 3 YEARS FROM NOW.
IF IT COMES BACK EARLIER IT MEANS THERE IS MORE
RESOURCES. >> BILL, ARE YOU HEARING BECAUSE I KNOW THERE IS A AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE ON AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE AND HOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE FUNDED AND POTENTIALLY BEING LOOKING AT THE CHANGE, ARE YOU HEARING ANYTHING IN THIS BUDGET BECAUSE I KNOW PART OF IT WAS THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT.
>> WE'RE HEARING EARLY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT CALIFORNIA'S FUNDED ON A. DEPARTMENT OF A. AND CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SHIFTING TO ANOTHER MODEL.
NOT SPECIFICALLY NECESSARILY FOR THIS BUDGET.
WE'RE HEARING MORE OF A FIX FOR THE DISTRICTS HIT HARD BY THE PANDEMIC WHERE THEY LOST 200, 300 UP TO 500 KIDS, THERE MAY BE AN A.D.A.FIX FOR THE DISTRICTS TO HELP RECOVER BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THEY GET SOME NORMAL, NOT NECESSARILY NORMALCY -- BUDGETARY ACTION TO ADDRESS THE SEVERE DECLINE IN REVENUE FOR THEM.
>> BECAUSE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD STEADY AT WHAT WE WERE FUNDED RIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT FOR A.D.A.BUT THIS YEAR IS, ARE THEY, IS IT GOING ON ACTUAL? OR IS IT GOING ON WEIGHTED 3 YEAR
AVERAGE? IT. >> WE'RE STILL WAITING ON INFORMATION AS FAR AS, THAT IS THE DELIBERATION
STATE LEVEL. >> MORE THAN THE 8 YEAR SOLID WE HAD WITH GOVERNOR BROWNE WE'VE NO INCLUDE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET IT.
AND IF IT'S NEXT WEEK OR WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO GET AUGUST, SEPTEMBER SURPRISES AGAIN WHEREAS OH, YEAH WE GAVE YOU THIS MONEY BUT IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER WE'VE DONE A TRAILER BILL AND NOW YOU MUST USE THIS MONEY TOWARDS THIS ONLY. SO WHAT YOU ARE SEEING HERE IS AN EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE BUDGET DESIGNED TO MAKE SURE WE KNOW WE CAN AFFORD ALL THE RACES WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD FOR EMPLOYEE, THAT IS SOLID KNOWING WE CAN MANAGE OUR RESERVATION, MANAGE 3 YEARS OUT AND BRING IN SOCIAL WORKERS, AS YOU ASKED AND THEN THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT WE MAY BRING SOME -- FOR SURE ONE TIME MONEY IS COMING AND BRING SOME OF THAT BACK TO YOU IN THE FUTURE AS EARLY AS SEPTEMBER.
THEN THE PHONES FOR ONGOING MONEY AS WELL.
>> WHICH, YOU KNOW, I REALLY APPRECIATE, I'M ASKING SOME OF THE QUESTIONS BECAUSE THE NATURE OF IT IS WE THINK THERE IS ONE THING COMING THEN WE GET THE MAY REVISE, WE KNOW THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR ARE STILL NEGOTIATING: BY LAW WE HAVE TO DO THIS.
THEN THEY CREATE A BUDGET AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE BASED OFF OF WHAT IS POTENTIALLY GOING SO I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE THAT WE ARE BEING CONSERVATIVE EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW, I HOPE A. D.A.AND THE MODEL OF HOW THEY FUND SCHOOLS DOES CHANGE BECAUSE IT'S RIDICULOUS IF THERE IS A DISTRICT WITH 100 KIDS BUT ONLY 94% EXCHANGE RATE BUT YOU GET FUNDED ON THE 94 EVEN THOUGH YOU GOT TO EDUCATE 100 IS BACKWARDS IN CALIFORNIA BUR I KNOW WITH YOUR CONSERVATIVE BUDGETING
[00:25:02]
THAT SETS US IN A GOOD SPOT. THANK YOU.>> THANK YOU. CONSERVATIVE AND ALSO CAUTIOUS WITH THIS BUDGET. THERE IS IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE IN THE STATE BUDGET. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THIS PRESENTATION AND BUDGET WAS DEVELOPEDDAGE AND FINALIZED MAY 27. A FEW DAYS LATER WE RECEIVED A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT. GREAT NEWS WITH THE ASSOCIATION. THOSE AMOUNTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY REFLECTED IN THE SLIDES BUT THEY WILL BE ADJUSTED AT FIRST INTERR.I.M. INCLUSIVE OF RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL BIT BOARD WHEN, IF APPROVED.
SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. WHILE I MIGHT SAY 5% PROPOSED FOR OUR TEACHERS ASSOCIATION, THAT WAS AT THE TIME ON MAY 27. IT'S 5 AND A HALF%, THAT WILL BE REFLECTED AND ADJUSTED IN FUTURE BUDGET PRESENTATION. SO FOR THE PROPOSED BUDGET YOU CAN SEE WE'VE INCLUDED A COLA OF 6.56%.
THAT IS BASED ON THE MOST RECENT MAY REVISION OF THE GOVERNOR'S COLA PROPOSAL WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT -- THEN ALSO AN INCREASE TO THE L. C. F. F. BASE FUNDING, A LITTLE OVER 3% EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT 266 TO 322 PER A.D.A. THIS IS L. C. F. F. BASED FUNDING INCREASE IN ADDITION TO THE 6.56% BEING PROPOSED.
TOTAL ROUGHLY ABOUT 9.85%. BOARD APPROVED BUDGET ACTIONS, WE INCLUDED THOSE THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR ONGOING COSTS.
YOU CAN SEE THAT S. T. R. S. AND THE PENSION COSTS RATES ARE INCREASING. 16.92 DO 19.
01% FOR OUR PENSION EMPLOYER --
>> ARE WE GETTING ANY HELP FROM THE GOVERNOR THIS YEAR
I'VE NOT SEEN ANYTHING COMING THROUGH.
>> HOW DISAPPOINTED. >> BILL, ARE THESE NUMBERS AT THE MAX AND CAPPED BECAUSE THERE WAS A --
>> FOR S. T. R. S. IT'S CURRENTLY 19.1 IT'LL CAP IN 22-23. I'VE ANOTHER IMAGE THAT WILL-- [INAUDIBLE]
>> IT'S CAPPED FOR 22, 23, STARTING IN 22-23 FOR PENSION. SO AFTER AFTER 22-23 IT IS RAE FORECASTED AT 19.01 MOVING FORWARD.
THAT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT THE STATE LEVEL.
THE PERCENTAGE FOR S. T. R. S. IS SET BY THE STATE F.
IT'S A FORECAST THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PENSION FUNDS IN THE FUTURE IT COULD GO UP. IT TAKES LEGISLATIVE ACTION
TO MOVE THE NUMBER. >> THEY HAVE TO GIVE SOMETHING TO GET, IF IRREMEMBER CORRECTLY.
>> YES. >> THEN PURRS IS DIFFERENT.
>> PURRS HAS CONTROL OF IT. IT'S FORECASTED OUT BASED ON MARKET CONDITIONS AND AVAILABILITY OF PENSION
FORECASTING -- >> TO GIVE EVERYONE AN IDEA, HOW DO DO I THIS MATH? OH, GOODNESS, IF THERE IS AN $80,000 EMPLOYEE THAT IS IN PURRS, AND REALITY, THE COSTS ARE AT LEAST $100,000 PLUS OTHERMANDATED COSTS, BETWEEN 105 TO $110,000 IN TOTAL.
>> YES. >> WHICH MAKES IT LOOK WHY IS THAT PERSON GETTING $105,000.
THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE GETTING ANOTHER NUMBER AND 25% PLUS ACURVEBALL MONEY IS GOING TO PURRS AND MANDATED COSTS IN CALIFORNIA.
>> THEN YOU CAN SEE THE NEGOTIATED INCREASE FOR C.
SEA. THAT WILL BE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH RATIFICATIONS.
THEN WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THERE IS A LOT OF DISCUSSION, DEBATE ABOUT WHAT WILL THE STATE BUDGET LOOK LIKE.
THAT SHOULD BE KNOWN BY JUNE 15 UNDER STATUTE.
WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED IS ADDITIONAL FUNS FOR EXPENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM WHICH IS BASICALLY AFTERSCHOOL, BEFORE SCHOOL, AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM EXTENSIONS TURNING A NORMALLAL SCHOOL DAY INTO POTENTIALLY A 9 HOUR SCHOOL DAY UNDER THIS EXPANDED LEAK OPPORTUNITY. THE GOVERNOR PROPOSED DISCRETIONARY FUNDING ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT $1500 PER A. D. A. ONE TIME FUNDING DETERMINED FOR USE BY THE GOVERNING BOARD.
AGAIN THAT IS STILL UP IN THE AIR.
STILL UP FOR DISCUSSION. TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN EXPANSION THAT IS COMING. THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IS NOT WITH CERTAINLY AND WHAT THE PROGRAM --
>> IT'S REALLY SMALL. >> IT'S REALLY SMALL.
THEN YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER TWO ITEMS HERE, CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. STATE PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAM.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE CLOSELY TO SEE WHAT LANDS IN THE STATE BUDGET THEN AGAIN WE'LL COME BACK TO THE BOARD FOR AN UPDATED BUDGET AND PRESENTATION ALONG WITH FIRST INTERIM. IF I MOVE ON THE SLIDE DO
[00:30:03]
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS FAR AS PRESENTATION SO FAR.>> WE HAVE, THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF MONEY DEFERRED MAINTENANCE COMING AS WELL. WILL WE SEE THAT IN A FACILITIES SIDE PRESENTATION? I KNOW IT'S NOT NECESSARILY GENERAL FUND BUT ARE WE LOOKING AT THAT?
>> WE'RE WAITING FOR THE DETAILS ON THAT ONE AS WELL
>> WE DO HAVE OUR DEFERRED TENURE, 15-YEAR-OLD DEED MAINTENANCE PLAN, THE MONEY WILL SLIDE INTO THAT.
I THINK, ISN'T THAT PART OF DISCOVERY'S PAINT JOB.
>> YES. >> SO WE'RE PAINTING DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL, SOME OF THE MONEY IS COMING OUT
OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE. >> YES.
>> MOVING IT AHEAD BECAUSE IT NEEDED IT.
>> SIMILAR SLIDES THAT YOU'VE SEEN IN THE PAST.
THIS PROVIDES A VISUAL OF REVENUES PROJECTED OR FORECASTED FOR 22-23. ON THE UNRESTRICTED SIDE $122 MILLION. ON RESTRICTED SIDE ABOUT $159 MILLION RESTRICT AND UNRESTRICTED MONEY JUST FOR THE GENERAL FUND. NEXT SLIDE PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT IS FORECASTED FOR EXPENDITURES, WHILE WE'RE FORECASTING $160 MILLION IN REVENUE AND SPENDING $170 MILLION, REMEMBER WE HAVE PANDEMIC FUNDS TO USE.
I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
LOOKING AT IT ON THE LEFT SIDE IS JUST UNRESTRICTED MONEY IN THE GENERAL FUND. HOW, IF YOU TAKE THE GENERAL FUND AND PUT IS IN A PIE FORMAT WHERE IS THE MONEY BEING SPENT? YOU CAN SEE UNRESTRICTED SIDE STAFFING.
ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS UNRESTRICT AND RESTRICTED MONEY IN THE GENERAL FUND. 81% BASED ON THE BUDGET BEING FORECAST 81% SPENT OBJECT STAFFING COSTS.
SALARY, COMPENSATION, EMPLOYER COSTS, HEALTH AND WELFARE COSTS. GENERALLY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
RUN BETWEEN 80 AND 85%. >> HEALTHY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, HEALTHY BUDGETING IS 80 TO 85.
WHEN YOU GET ABOVE THAT YOU ARE POTENTIALLY DEFICIT
THEN AS FAR AS THE ENDING FUND BALANCE THIS IS WHEN WE'RE FORECASTING IN THIS MOMENT.
YOU CAN SEE THE RESERVE STARTING ON THE LEFT FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY PLANNING FOR STABILIZATION.
WE'VE HEARDS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT A RECESSION.
THE NEW WORD WAS STAG FLATIN AS OF YESTERDAY.
THAT IS A GLOBAL IMPACT WITH STAGNANT GROWTH GLOBAL.
WE'RE PLANNING AHEAD. THEN YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE ITEMS RECOMMENDED FOR COMMITTED RATHER THAN JUST TEXT BOOKS, IT'S TEXT BOOK ADOPTION AND TECHNOLOGY PLANNING FOR THAT REFRESH. UNDER THE NEW LCAP RULES AND REQUIREMENTS, ANY MONEY FOR TARGETED UNDUPLICATED ACTIONS IF THERE'S A REMAINING AMOUNT, A FORMALLY IS USED TO CALCULATE A CARRYOVER SO AT SOME POINT WE'LL NEED FORWARD TO BRING FORWARD A TOMBS RECAL KATE THE 467,000 BACK INTO THE LOUISIANA CAP.
THEN PLANNING AHEAD ALSO FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF TURF AND TRACK FIELDS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.
SO STAYING IN FRONT OF THAT FUTURE COST.
THEN WE CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND AND PRESENT THE PENSION RATE STABILIZATION. NEXT SLIDE IS ENROLLMENT.
THIS IS FORECASTING OUT THE 100 GROWTH.
THEN AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S FLAT.
THE BLUE LINE INDICATES FLAT PROJECTION FOR 23-24.
AND 24-25. THEN THE GREEN LINE REPRESENTS FORECASTED A. D.A.
THIS YEAR WE'RE FORECASTING 93%.
TO GROW BACK TO 94 AND BACK TO 95 TO 96% IN THE THIRD
YEAR OUT. >> FOR SOMEBODY WHO IS WATCHING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME OR LOOKING AT THE VIDEO OF THIS BOARD MEETING, WHAT IS THE DISHES BETWEEN -- DIFFERENCE BETWEEN C. BEDS AND P. 2 ATTENDANCE.
>> C. BEDS IS AN ACTUAL STUDENT COUNT.
NUMBER OF STUDENTS HERE ON A PARTICULAR DAY OF THE YEAR.
FIRST WEDNESDAY IN OCTOBER. WHERE WE COUNT HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE HERE AT SCHOOL. WHERE P. 2 A.D.A.IS AVERAGE DAILY ATTEND AFTERNOONS THE STUDENTS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. USUALLY IT'S THE FIRST 135 DAYS OF SCHOOL. SO CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF THE FEW STATES THAT STILL FUNDS ON AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE THAT IS WHY THE NUMBER IS CRITICAL FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD. AS LONG AS THE MODEL IS IN
PLACE. >> JUST FOR THOSE WATCHING THAT'S WHY THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHILE WE MAY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF KIDS ENROLLED WE DON'T GET
[00:35:03]
PAID FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF KNOW, IT'S BASED OFF OF ATTENDANCE, THIS IS HOW WE PROJECT OUR BUDGETING AND WHY THIS GRAPH IS REALLY IMPORTANT.>> WE TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER BUT HERE YOU CAN SEE THE EMPLOYER RATE. ACTUALLY THE PECKS TABLE.
-- PENSION TABLE AND ALSO UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AS WE FORECAST OUT. AS TRUSTEE KAPLAN MENTIONED, COWSTERS RATE HAS CAPPED. THAT WILL START NEXT YEAR MOVING FORWARD UNTIL THE THERE IS A LEGISLATIVE CHANGE TO INCREASE OR MAYBE EVEN DECREASE THE AMOUNT LIKELY INCREASE. AT SOME POINT.
CALIPERS YOU CAN SEE THE VARIABLE BEING FORECAST OUT BASED ON MARKET CONDITIONS, HOW MUCH IS IN THE PENSION PLAN. AND HOW MANY RETIREES ARE ENTERING THE PLAN. ALL THE FORECASTING THAT TAKES PLACE. THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE RATE WILL SEE A DIP. WILL GO FROM A HALF% TO .2% THE FOLLOWING YEAR. CONDITIONS.
IT CAN GO UP OR DOWN. THESE ARE VARIABLES THAT ARE IMPACTING THE BUDGETS SIGNIFICANT TO BUDGET.
I WON'T GO OVER EACH ONE OF ITEMS BUT YOU CAN SEE THE FACTORS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN 23-24 IN THE MULTIYEAR BUDGET ASSUMPTION, THESE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE FOR THE 23-24. WE FORECASTED A 5.37% COLA BASED ON THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISE.
ALSO CARRYING FORWARD THAT L. C. F. F. INVESTMENT 1.2 BILLION STATEWIDE, EQUIVALENT OF ABOUT 3.29%.
THEN FOR 24-25, SCHOOL SERVICES, MASK AND OTHER AGENCIES HAVE PROJECTED A 4.02% COLA MOVING OUT.
INTO THE MUTE FOR 24-25. YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE ASSUMPTIONS BUT WHENEVER WE ADOPT A SUTH STATE LAW REQUIRES WE FORECAST OUT 3 YEARS.
THE 3 YEARS IS TO PREVENT AND IDENTIFY ANY ISSUES THAT MAY BE COMING UP FINANCIALLY THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS
TOGETHER. >> BUT IT WASN'T BE UNUSUAL WHILE WE'RE USING EXPERTS AND FORECASTING FOR THE COLA IN 24-25, SAY NEXT YEAR THE WHATEVER REASON, YOU KNOW, THE CEILING OR THERE A A BIG DEFICIT THE COLA COULD BE
PROJECTED BACK TO 0. >> YES, BETWEEN NOW AND 24-25, WITH A POTENTIAL RECESSION THAT 4% COULD
QUICKLY DROP. >> WHY WE BUILD IN THE FLAT GROWTH AND THE SLOW RISE TO A.D.A.GIVES US A SOFT LANDING. OTHER DISTRICTS COULD AND DO PUT IN 1% OR 0 COLA. WE'VE BEEN CONSISTENT TO TRY TO PUT WHAT IS OUT THERE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO LABOR PARTNERS AND OTHERS WHY WE THINK THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND OTHERS ARE ALL WRONG.
>> NEXT STEPS IS AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING FOR ADOPTION WILL BE THE LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN.
FOR 22-23 AND THIS BUDGET BEING PRESENTED IN A PUBLIC HEARING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
SEPTEMBER ACTUALS AND THE FIR INTERIM IS DECEMBER ALONG WITH THE 21-22 INDEPENDENT AUDITS.
WE'RE IN MULTIPLE BUDGET FORECASTING AND ALSO GOING BACK IN TIME AND REVIEWING HOW WE DID THE PRIOR YEAR.
AT ANY WHICH HAVE BEEN POINT WE'RE LOOKING AT 4 YEARS WORTH OF BUDGET. [INAUDIBLE]
>> BEFORE I GET TO QUESTIONS WE'VE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. MISS SHARON THURMAN.
>> HELLO, EDGE, THANK YOU D EVERYONE, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE ON A WARM SUMMER NIGHT AS YOU HAVE BEEN FAITHFULLY SERVING. REGARDINGS FINANCES AND YES, I'M HERE TO ASK THAT SOME INFORMATION BE GIVEN TO US ON HOW THE DOLLARS THAT ARE BEING SPENT BY OUR DISTRICT WORK TOWARD HELPING OUR CHILDREN READ AT PROEFFICIENCY AT THEIR GRADE LEVEL, DO MATH AT THEIR GRADE LEVEL, AS WELL AS MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO OUR COMMUNITY. YES, THERE WERE A LOT OF STUDENTS WHO PROMOTED. I WENT TO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATION. IT WAS WONDERFUL.
BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF STUDENTS WHO WERE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROMOTION BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED A SERIES OF F.'S. ONE STUDENT TOLD ME OH, MISS THURMAN I'M A FAILURE. I SAID WHAT DO YOU MINE? HE SAID I HAVE ALL F.'S FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR.
SO I'M ASKING US AS TRUSTEES TO YES, CELEBRATE THOSE
[00:40:04]
STUDENTS WHO DO WELL AND MANY OF THEM DO BUT THE DATA SHOWS US THAT MANY DO NOT. FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT WE ARE APPLYING, WHETHER IT'S FOR C. SEAOR WHETHER IT'S FOR OUR WONDERFUL TEACHING STAFF, CAN WE ALSO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE THAT AT LEAST 2/3 OF OUR STUDENTS WHO IN 2019 WERE NOT PROFICIENT DO REACH PROFICIENCY WITHIN THE 3 YEAR BUDGET PERIOD.WE OWE IT TO THEM. I KNOW WE'RE TRYING.
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS WILL BE A GOOD ADDITION, YES, BUT WE NEED TO DO MORE. I'M ASKING THAT WE HOLD THE, BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS ACCOUNTABLE FOR HOW THEY'RE INTERFACING WITH OUR STUDENTS AND SOMEHOW MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS. PLEASE, WE NEED TO DO THIS FOR OUR STUDENTS. THAT'S WHAT THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS ABOUT. HAVING STUDENTS WHO ARE PROFICIENT AND OR ABOVE PROFICIENCY IN THEIR BASIC
SKILLS, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MISS THURMAN.
I 100% AGREE WITH HOLDING OUR AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS ACCOUNTABLE. TRUSTEES, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET?
>> NO, I WANT TO THANK BILL AND OUR STAFF FOR BEING AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE AND REMIND THAT WHATEVER IS UP HERE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND WILL CHANGE BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE TIMING OF THE BUDGET AND HAVING TO REAL LATE WHEN -- REALLOCATE.
WE BUDGETS ON PROPOSED THEN WE BUDGET ON ACTUAL THEN WE BUDGET ON WHAT ACTUALLY IS AFTER WE DO OUR AUDITS.
THANK YOU TO THE STAFF. IT CAN BE FAIRLY CONFUSING AND TIME INTENSIVE AS THE NUMBERS CHANGE.
>> ALSO, YEAH, I, YOU KNOW, I'M APPRECIATIVE WHAT THE GOVERNOR GIVES US BUT I'M ALSO CONCERNED WHEN THERE ARE A LOT OF UNFUNDED MANDATES OR THE RISING COSTS FOR OUR PENSION. SO THOSE OF YOU IN THE AUDIENCE AND WHO ARE WATCHING, I REGULARLY SEND E-MAILS TO OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO MAKE THESE DECISIONS AND INVOLVED IN THE WORK.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THE SAME.
AND, YOU KNOW, EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT THE FUNDING OF SCHOOLS. I MEAN NATOMAS UNIFIED IS A DISTRICT THAT IS CONSERVATIVE IN TERMS OF BUDGET AND WHAT WE SPEND AND WE HAVE A HISTORY OF DOING THAT, THAT'S WHY WE'RE -- I'M SO PROUD TO REPRESENT THIS DISTRICT, BUT EVEN, EVEN WITH THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE HERE, WHEN WE DON'T GET THE MONEY WE NEED TO PURSUE THE KINDS OF PROGRAMS THAT WE NEED FOR OUR KIDS, IT IS DISCOURAGING.
SO I JUST, I WOULD URGE YOU AS PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY WHO HAVE KIDS IN SCHOOLS TO RAISE YOUR VOICES AND LET THEM KNOW, YOUR OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS BECAUSE WE DO IT ON A REGULAR BASIS HERE.
AND E-MAILS AND YOU CAN E-MAIL THEM AND E-MAIL THEM. AS OFTEN AS YOU WANT BUT LET THEM KNOW THAT OUR KIDS, YOU KNOW, OUR KIDS HAVE ONE CHANCE AT ONE GRADE LEVEL EACH YEAR.
WE WANT TO GIVE THEM ALL THE BEST RESOURCES WE CAN BUT WE CAN'T IF WE DON'T GET THE KIND OF MONEY THAT WILL HELP TO FUND THE KIND OF PROGRAMS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE, TO HAVE ALL STUDENTS BE SUCCESSFUL.
ENCOURAGE YOU-TO-DO THAT. >> I ECHO THE SENMENTS.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION TRUSTEES? MOTION TO CLOSE
THE HEAING? IN. >> MOTION TO CLOSE THE
HEARING. >> MOVED BY TRUSTEE HARDEN.
>> SECOND. >> SECOND BY TRUSTEE KAPLAN, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
>> MOTION CARRIES 5-0. THE HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.
[XIV.a. Present and Approve Adding Social Workers as an Ongoing Expense per Resolution No. 21-19]
NEXT UP ACTION ITEMS. ACTION I. PRESENT AND APPROVE ADDING SOCIAL WORKERS AS AN ONGOING EXPENSE FOR RESOLUTION 2119 STAFF WILL GIVE A SHORTENS.>> TWO SLIDES. FIRST SLIDE PART OF THE RESOLUTION THAT THE BOARD TOOK ACTION ON IN APPROVING SOCIAL WORKERS PLANNING, PREVENTING FISCAL CLIFF OUTLOOK BASED ON THAT TIME IN OCTOBER WAS TO PROVIDE YOU DATA AND METRICS TO SUPPORT THE INVESTMENT IN SOCIAL WORKERS. AS I MENTIONED IN THE LAST PRESENCE AND ALSO IN THE LCAP SEVEN SOCIAL WORKERS YOU APPROVED SHIFTING THEIR FUNDING SOURCE TO AN L. C.
F. F. THEY'VE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE
[00:45:02]
WILL. CAP.THAT WAS' BASED ON AVAILABLE FUNDING THEN ALSO THE DATA AND METRICS PRESENTED BACK IN OCTOBER.
SO 7 SOCIAL WORKERS ARE IN AN ONGOING FUNDING STATUS.
TONIGHT I'M PRESENTATION A RECOMMENDATION TO SHIFT THE FIVE REMAINING SOCIAL WORKERS FROM PANDEMIC FUNDING TO ONGOING L. C. F. F. FUNDING STARTING IN 24-25. THAT WILL BE ON THE NEXT SLIDE BUT HERE IS THE DATA TO SHARE WITH YOU REGARDING SOCIAL WORKERS AND THEIR SUPPORT OF STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS SERVED BY TYPES OF SERVICES ON THE LEFT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 18, 19 AND 21-22.
THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE THE TABLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS SERVING STUDENTS, KEEP IN MIND PRIOR TO SOCIAL WORKERS WE HAD PSYCHOLOGISTS AT THE SCHOOL SITES.
THE NUMBER AND FREQUENCY OF TYPES OF SUPPORTS, SOCIAL WORKERS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS PROVIDE YOU CAN SEE THE VARIANCE IN THE GROWTH OF NUMBERS AS WE ADDED MORE STAFF AND HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE IMPACTING WITH THE
ADDITION OF SOCIAL WORKERS. >> I WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF NOTES AS YOU SEE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE YEAR VIEW, WE JUMPED FROM ABOUT 8% OF OUR STUDENT POPULATION BEING SERVED BY EITHER PSYCHOLOGIST OR SOCIAL WORKERS THEN IN 19, 20, YOU SEE IT JUMPS TO 21%.
OBVIOUSLY THE LAST QUARTER OF THAT YEAR WAS WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT. THAT WAS' WHEN YOU AS TRUSTEES RECOGNIZED THERE WAS A LOT OF NEED BEING IDENTIFY AND WE STARTED INVESTING IN ADDITION SOCIAL WORKERS POSITIONS. AS YOU SEE IN 20, 21.
IT JUMPS UP TO ABOUT 40% OF OUR STUDENTS WERE BEING SERVED. THEN YOU SEE IT GOES BACK TO 20% THIS YEAR AND YOU MIGHT WONDER WHY A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT OUR TEAM THAT WAS PROVIDING THE SUPPORTS LAST YEAR, THE REALITY WAS WE WERE IN DISTANCE LEARNING FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE YEAR. THAT WAS THE SITUATION WHERE THERE WAS A LOT OF CONTACT BEING MADE TO DIFFERENT STUDENTS, REQUESTS BEING MADE, CAN YOU CHECK IN WITH THE STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE DOING WELL BECAUSE THEY WERE AT HOME AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT EVERYDAY CONTACT WITH THEIR PEERS AND THEIR TEACHERS IN PERSON.
SO THERE DEFINITELY WAS A LARGE QUANTITY OF STUDENTS BEING CONNECTED WITH TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE DOING WELL.
WE SEE IT HAS SETTLED BACK DOWN TO ABOUT 20% OF OUR ENROLLMENT OF STUDENTS HAVING SOME TYPE OF CHECK IN AND MONITORING THAT IS HAPPENING, ALSO THE REALITY IS THIS YEAR WE'RE STRUGGLED WITH ATTENDANCE ISSUES BOAT WITH STAFF AND STUDENTS BECAUSE OF THE SURGE AND THE DIFFERENCE ISSUES WE HAD RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC.
I WANTED TO IDENTIFY THOSE. LAST THING I'LL SAY IT DID NOT EVEN BEGIN TO QUANTIFY THE WORK THAT OUR SOCIAL WORKERS HAVE BEEN DOING TO CREATE THE RIPS WITH COMMUNITY PARTS -- RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND ESTABLISH RESOURCES FOR OUR FAMILIES.
>> I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT.
WE ASKED YOU 4 WEEKSING A NOT NOT TO HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO. GIVE AS YOU TIME TO FIGURE OUT THE BUT THE. AS YOU TIME YOU APPROVED -- AND ASKED US TO BRUSH THE BUDGET.
WE'RE EXCITED WE'RE ABLE TO BRING THIS TO YOU BEFORE WE GET WHATEVER WE'RE GOING TO GET FROM THE STATE.
OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO NEED A LOT MORE HELP NEXT YEAR BECAUSE NO ONE OFFERED TO SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO PAUSE KIDS TAKING A STATE EXAM WHEN THEY WEREN'T IN SCHOOL OVER 1/5 OF THE TIME ON AVERAGE.
I THINK THAT'S MY BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT.
EVERYTHING IS TALKING ABOUT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BUT OUR DATA FROM 2019 SO WE'RE CLEAR NOT COUNTING CHARTERS 51.14% OF OUR KIDS MEET OR EXCEEDED STANDAZ IN E.L.A.
MATT IS 40.08. MATH IS A STRUGGLE IN PARTICULAR WHEN THE TESTS ARE GEARED TOWARD EVERY KID BEING AN ENGINEER. WE HAVE TO UNDER THE MATT TEST IF YOU ARE EXCEEDING STANDARDS THEN YOU ARE ON A TRACK TO BE AN ENGINEER, IF YOU ARE NOT YOU MAY NOT BE AN ENGINEER, THAT IS OKAY. I'M A PROUD GRADUATE OF MATH FOR DUMMIES, LOVED IT. VOLUME OF A POTATO, WHATEVER, IT SEEMED TO WORK OUT WELL FOR ME.
RIGHT. I HAD TO TAKE ONE MATH CLASS. I WAS SUPEREXCITED WHEN I WAS DONE. IT'S NOT MY JAM.
SO, WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO PARENTS.
IN IT FACT WE DID A SURVEY. WE ASKED PARENTS ABOUT LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT IN SUMMER AND EXTENDED DAY AND WHEN THEY WANT LEARNING RECOVER TOE HAPPEN.
OUR TEST SCORES ARE GOING TO BOMB THIS YEAR.
HOW DID THEY NOT? KIDS ARE GONE SO OFTEN.
HOW DO THEY NOT WHEN TEACHERS ARE AT HOME SICK BECAUSE WE TOLD THEM IF YOU GOT SNIFFLES SOMEDAY HOME.
THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS EVEN WITH COVID WOULD BE ON ZOOM AND WE USED A DEDICATED SUB. WE SAW WHAT DISTANCE
[00:50:05]
LEARNING DID. LET'S NEVER GO BACK TO THAT UNLESS THE BUILDING IS BURNING.40% OF OUR KIDS NEEDED SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HELP AND DISTANCE LEARNING. THE NUMBER DOESN'T LIE.
LET'S NOT GO BACK TO THAT UNLESS, LIKE, EVERYONE SAYS IT'S AN EMERGENCY. AND REALIZE THAT 20% IS JUST GOING TO GROW. BECAUSE GOSH, WE HAVE TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT TO PARENTS. WE NEED YOU TO ENGAGE AND HELP US AND OUR KIDS WITH LEARNING RECOVERY.
PLEASE DON'T PUT SO MUCH WAIT ON WHATEVER THE CAST SCORE SAYS IN THE FALL. IT REALLY IS IN THE A TRUE ASSESSMENT OF IF -- NOT A TRUE ASSESSMENT IF YOUR KID WAS ENROLLED FOR A FULL REGULAR YEAR.
WE HAD TO GIVE IT AND FIGHT LIKE MAD TO GIVE THE 95 PERCENT ENGAGEMENT LEVEL. THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CHALLENGES ON TOP OF NOT GETTING THEIR COMBINATIONS BECAUSE THE STATE SYSTEM WOULDN'T MESH.
OUR 51.14% IS GOING TO DROP. AND I KNOW WE'LL ALL FIGHT FROM OUR CLASSIFIED STAFF TO OUR MANAGEMENT TO TRY TO IMPROVE AND GET THAT BETTER AND PART OF THE FIGHT IS GOING TO INCLUDE THE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT OUR KIDS NEED COMING OUT OF THE LAST 3 YEARS.
>> IN IF ALIGNMENT WITH RESOLUTION 2119 SPECIFICALLY JUST THE RECENTLY PRESENTED METRICS AND CRITERIA THEN ALSO THE PROPOSED 22-23 MULTIYEAR PROJECTION INDICATING THE AFFORDABILITY OF SHIFTING AND STAFF RECOMMENDING THE SHIFT REMAINING ONE TIME FIVE SOCIAL WORKERS FROM ONE TIME PANDEMIC FUNDING AND WE'LL STILL USE PANDEMIC FUNDING FOR 22-23 AS WE USE UP THE FUNDING BUT SHIFT THE WORKERS OR THE SOCIAL WORKERS TO ONGOING L. C. F. F. FUNDING STARTING IN 24-25. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVALLE.
>> ALL RIGHT. DISCUSSION, TRUSTEES?
>> SO, BILL, IF YOU COULD GO BACK JUST ONE SLIDE.
NOT A NUMBER I WANT TO POINT OUT, BUT FOR ME, I'VE PROBABLY BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A BROKEN RECORD OF REALLY ASKING AND PUSHING TO HAVE OUR SOCIAL WORKERS PERMANENT BECAUSE WE NEED THEM. BUT SEEING THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN SUICIDE RISK ASSESSMENT, WE NEED OUR SOCIAL WORKERS, WE NEED THOSE SUPPORTS.
IF THIS IS GOING TO SAVE THE LIFE AFTER CHILD THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
IN IT LIGHT OF EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON AND I'M IN THE ASHAMED TO SAY THAT MY OWN CHILD NEEDED SUPPORTS DURING THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE IT WAS VERY HARD FOR HER TO DO THIS AND THAT OUR WONDERFUL STAFF WAS AMAZING.
AND MAKING SURE THAT WE NOW HAVE PERMANENT SOCIAL WORKERS AT EACH ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS, NOT THE ONES THAT MAYBE HAVE, LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE NEED THAN OTHERS.
THIS WILL ALLOW CHILDREN TO GET THE SERVICES THEY NEED, ESPECIALLY IN OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO HELP THEM HANDLE THEIR EMOTIONS AND THE THINGS THEY'RE FEELING AND DO IT IN THE HEALTHY WAY. I'M VERY PROUD TO SEE WHAT EACH ONE OF OUR SITES IS DOING WITH THEIR PEER TO PEER SOCIAL CIRCLE, RESTORE YES JUSTICE AND HELPING OUR KIDS HANDLE THE EMOTIONS THAT THEY'RE FEELING, BUT KNOWING WE HAVE SOCIAL WORKERS THAT ARE PERMANENT TO US THAT MIGHT SAVE A LIFE BECAUSE THAT SUICIDE RISK ASSESSMENT BREAKS MY MOM HEART.
AND THE AMOUNT OF HOSPITALIZATION THAT IS ARE GOING ON, BUT I'M SO APPRECIATIVE THAT THE COMMIT. THE DISTRICT HAS AND THIS BOARD HAS TO DO THIS, WE'RE CUTTING EDGE.
DISTRICTS DON'T DO THIS AND THIS IS A PROUD MOMENT FOR ME AS A BOARD MEMBER TO BE PART OF A BOARD THAT IS WILLING TO DO THIS AND PUT THIS COMMITMENT FOR OUR

>> I LIKE TO REITERATE HOW PROUD YOU SHOULD BE OF THEMSELVES, I WAS ON THE PHONE CALL WITH A MAJOR NEWSPAPER ON A DIFFERENT TOPIC WHO ASKED ABOUT THE BOARD MEETING, WHEN I TALKED ABOUT THIS SAID YOU SOUND AHEAD OF THE GAME ON THIS. IT'S A MAJOR NATIONAL NEWSPAPER OUT OF D.C. I GAVE THEM THIS SLIDE.
OF THE DATA. IT'S GOING TO BE A PUBLIC RECORD IN ABOUT 2, 3 HOURS, I SENT IT AND THE PERSON SAID I WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK WITH YOU, YOUR DISTRICT IS ZOOING WHAT APPEARS TO BE EXTRA ORDINARY THINGS.
THEY WANT TO LEARN MORE. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT
[00:55:04]
ESPECIALLY THE STAFF AND SOCIAL WORKERS.IT'S NEAT STUFF. GOOD STUFF FOR KIDS.

PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE LESS THAN TEN.[01:00:01]
SO I HAVE FOUR PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA. THE BOARD WILL HEARING FROM THE SPEAKERS ONLY AND INSURE THE MEETING IS CONDUCTED IN AN ORDERLY AND EFFICIENT MANNER.FIRST I HAVE E RIN PAIGE. >> GOOD EVENING.
IT'S WUHL TO BE HERE IN PERSON -- NO MASKS.
BREATHING FREELY FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO.
SEEING KIDS MASKED AT FIRST WAS HEART BREAKING BUT AS WE LEARNED MORE AND MORE ABOUT THE JUSTIFICATION FOR WHY THEY WERE MASKING IT BECAME UNACCEPTABLE.
WITH THE RECENT LIFTING OF THE OPPRESS ITCH MANDATES IT HAS BEEN SUCH A JOY TO SEE OUR KIDS' FACES AGAIN, TO SEE THEM PLAYING AGAIN INTERACTING IN A HEALTHY WAY. SOME KIDS AFTER THE MANDATES IS LIST CHOOSE TO KEEP THEM ON WHETHER IT WAS FEAR OR PERSONAL CHOICE IT WAS A CHOICE.
THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE. NEWSOM LET US KNOW THAT HE PLANS TO BRING BACKPACKS. SO WE'RE HERE AGAIN TONIGHT TO REACH OUT TO OUR BOARD WHO WE KNOW CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE WELLBEING OF OUR KIDS AND ASK FOR A MASK CHOICE RESOLUTION. I'VE SAT HERE THROUGH MANY BOARD MEETINGS WHERE OTHER PARENTS HAVE LISTED LOTS OF DATA AROUND BACTERIA AND DISGUSTING THINGS FOUND ON CHILDREN'S MASKS. THE REDUCTION OF OXYGEN, THE INCREASE IN CO2INTAKE AND DANGERS.
TODAY I WAS LOOKING AT AN ARTICLE WITH 250 DIFFERENT STUDIES REVIEWED AND NONE OF THEM CAN SAY WITH STATISTICAL CERTAINTY THAT IT REDUCES VIRAL SPREAD.
BUT A LOT OF THEM SHOW HARMFUL HER TO PEOPLE FOR LOCK-TERM WE ARE -- WEAR. WHAT WE KNOW IS SCIENTISTS ARE OUT. THEY DISAGREE.
THE SAME STUDY CAN BE LOOKED AT AND ONE SAYS SEE, IT SHOWS WE SHOULD AND ANOTHER SAYS WE SHOULDN'T.
WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MANDATE IMPOSING SOMETHING ON A HUMAN BEING IT HAS TO BE JUSTIFIED.
THE RIGHT NOW THE ONLY THING WE KNOW THERE ISN'T DISAGREEMENT ABOUT IS THE HARMS, NOT THE BENEFITS.
WITH THAT, I WANT TO SAY I KNOW YOU GUYS LOVE OUR KIDS.
BUT YOU DON'T LOVE THEM MORE THAN WE DO.
I KNOW YOU CARE ABOUT THEIR SAFETY NOT MORE THAT HAPPEN WE DO. LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> NEXT UP I'VE CRYSTAL DUNN >> GOOD THAT I COULD FOLLOW HER, THANK YOU FOR HEARING US AND LETTING US BE HERE TODAY. AS YOU CAN SEE MY DAUGHTER HAS A MASK ON, THE ONLY REASON SHE HAS ONE ON IS BECAUSE I WANT TO PROVE A POINT.
SMILE FOR ME. CAN YOU SEE HER SMILE? CAN YOU CRY? ANGRY FACE. CHILDREN LEARN WITH MASKS OFF. CHILDREN LEARN WITH YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSION, CHILDREN LEARN WITH PEOPLE INTERACTING WITH THEM ON A CONSTANT BASIS.
THE MASK GETS PUT DOWN ON A DESK.
THE MASK GETS DROPPED ON A FLOOR.
THE MASK GETS PUT BACK ON BY SOMEBODY.
THE MASK HAS HAND SANITIZE ARE, A KID'S DESK HAS GLITTER OVER T. THEY PUT THE MASK BACK ON.
WHAT IS THE POINT? IS MY QUESTION? LET'S BE THE DISTRICT THAT DEFIES AND LET'S BE THE DISTRICT THAT IS THE EXAMPLE THAT SETS AN AMAZING STANDARD FOR FUTURE DISTRICTS AND FOR FUTURE STUDENTS FOR AROUND THE NATION THAT CAN SET THE EXAMPLE FOR OUR CHILDREN SO THAT THEY KNOW THAT WE'RE STANDING UP FOR THEM BECAUSE THEIR FUTURE MATTERS TO US. I KNOW PUTTING MY DAUGHTER -- NONE OF YOU ARE HELPING ME.
I'M HAVING TO PAY FOR TUTORING BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER SAT ON A COMPUTER TO DO DISTANCE LEARNING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE WERE TOLD TO DO.
KEEP OUR CHILDREN IN A CLASSROOM.
KEEP OUR CHILDREN WITH TEACHERS IN FRONT OF THEM.
KEEP OUR CHILDREN WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP THEM.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE, MY DAUGHTER IS FAR BEHIND. I'M DOING MY JOB AS A PARENT BUT IT'S NOT -- I'VE FOUR OF THEM.
[01:05:04]
MY JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT NEVER HAD JUNIOR HIGH.SHE IS OFFICIALLY A HIGH SCHOOLER NOW.
PLEASE STAND UP FOR OUR FUTURE KIDS, THAT IS NOT GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT'S GOING TO HINDER US.
>> THANK YOU. >> LAST PUBLIC COMMENT IS
FROM RACHEL CAN'TA. >> THANK YOU, I LEARNED SO MUCH TONIGHT BY THE WAY. AND WITH BUDGETS AND I'M HAPPY TO SEE THERE IS AN INVESTMENT IN SOCIAL WORKERS, SO THANK YOU. ALSO I WANT TO SAY THAT MY SIXTH AND 4TH GRADER HAVE LOVED BEING IN NUSD.
MY DAUGHTER ISABELLA GOES TO P. S. A. A. SHE LOVED IT AND SHE EARNED THE 6TH GRADE INSPIRATION AWARD FOR ENGLISH AND MY 4TH GRADE SON LOVED HAVING HIS TEACHER. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I BELIEVE IN THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCES WITH THE TEACHERS. I CAME HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE OF THE RECENT UVALDE SHOOTINGS IN TEXAS HAS PUT SECURITY, SCHOOL SECURITY AND MENTAL HEALTH ON PARENTS TEACHERS AND STUDENTS' MINDS.
I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT THE SOCIAL WORKERS.
THE INVESTMENT IN SOCIAL WORKERS.
I'VE ASKED TEACHERS RECENTLY WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM FEEL SAFER IN SCHOOLS. THEY STATED HAVING THINGS LIKE BULLET PROOF WINDOWS AND ARMED OFFICERS WOULD HELP THEM FEEL SECURE. SOME DADE OF SAID THEY'D LIKE CONCEALED CARRIES ON CAMPUS BUT I'M SURE THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN CALIFORNIA.
SO I'M ASKING IF WE CAN GET SOME BUDGET AS I'M LEARNING FROM TRUSTEE HERD WHY, I NEED TO MONEY -- HEREDIA, I NEED TO LEARN ABOUT THE LEGISLATORS THAT I NEED TO E-MAIL TO GET BUDGET TO HAVE ARMED POLICE ON CAMPUS OR AT THE SCHOOLS. TODAY I LEARNED THAT A NEW JERSEY SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS DECIDED TO HIRE A RETIRED POLICE OFFICERS TO PROTECT THEIR SCHOOLS.
IN MIDDLETOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT IN NEW JERSEY, THESE SPECIAL OFFICER REQUIREMENTS ARE TO BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER. THEY'LL CARRY DUTY WEAPONS, ASSIGN ONE OFFICER PER SCHOOL AND EACH MUST BE RETIRED WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS.
SO SHOULDN'T ARMED OFFICERS IN SCHOOLS BE THE STANDARD FOR EVERY SCHOOL IN AMERICA WITH THE SHOOTINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING? I THINK IT WOULD BE A DETERRENT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HAVING ARMED OFFICERS ON
CAMPUS? THANK YOU. >> IF THERE IS NO FURTHER BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD, THIS MEETING ADJOU
