Summer school or something giving me the opportunity to express myself I knew for sure I want you think I'm the best in the world in mathematics applied is narrow the greatest be back shortly elementary school should be the best place for me to start so that we started youngren to save images school and high school some icon Maestra Dental in middle school they will be on top I'm not doing it anymore but thank you very much I will perform exactly what Austin Brew Supply Elementary School thank you thank you Doctor Su not welcome all right moving on to item 3.2 opportunity for Community comment so I have two cartridges so the first one I am from Troy Sheldon in the city of Redlands Mister superintendent board cabinet Edmond public my name is Troy Sheldon I am I've been a teacher in the district for 22 years come to you tonight to speak about teacher retention like I said I've been a teacher for 22 years I've been probably should be home any leadership team I've had three student teachers I bet I buy coach five candidates for CPR and I've noticed a trend over years that the the 10-year that that that new teachers stay as decreased over the years and three years was where was that before the pandemic and I had we had a situation at Hopper last year where we had and then they left to our neighbors to the West End and I would like to propose an idea that would stop that Trend they had the idea has a name it is Project shop and staff homeownership pathway is the name attached to that act that acronym and if you think of other employment in terms of being a being a homeowner renters by and large states here's which fits that Trend homeowners stay on average 7 so if you want to extend the Via tenured that teacher stay in their positions you have a greater probability of that happening if they are homeowners and creating a pathway for them is beneficial and on the onset cost neutral doesn't cost you a dime you just set up the set up a system so that they are able to plug it in and they're able to navigate through so what is Project shop project shop of all the people that I have coached their else traveled with student loan debt and student loan debt there are ways or to pay that off there's loan forgiveness program and I'm going to give you one example it is unusual eyes is it is a program called the Care Act was signed into law last year and it allows for districts to pay for teachers $5,250 of their money but in that tax free money for the person is paying it and the district does not have to pay payroll taxes on that $5,250 so there is a financial benefit but I am limited to three minutes there are many many more but over time we can expose the rest so the reason student loan debt is important because you can't buy a house paying what they're paying on the minimum payment for student loans so they need to be able to manage that so we partnered with with with straw pension to they have a they have a branch in their department where they Council on new teachers how to manage their student debt they cancel them how to form their 403bs and use those squirrel Three B's as a way to source as down payment to purchase that new home so that helps with regard to get to getting them started it creates a mindset that we care that we want you to stay for more than a year more than 3 years at least seven and a and a we also have it in our in our Network on our pathway we have Guild Mortgage and we have Baxter Scruggs he has a has a badly has his bachelor's from UCLA economics and he is a magician getting finding money for first-time home buyers and he is an asset in that capacity and and moving on we have a real estate company that had their name itself navient was the is a student loan servicer the name of the real estate company is navient pay and the name literally translates little the name of the brokerage literally translates into have not navient in their mission statement they have a every teacher should not have student loan debt and every teacher should own a home that's the that would people you need people on your team that are communicating that that have that mission and vision and that ended very making so that being said I do have a request that the board embrace the idea and Empower a conversation between myself and mr. Baker in an office meeting to discuss the validity of this is a valid approach I have boilerplate language and if I could do it would be authorized to speak with mr. Baker on behalf of project shop and be able to work out the Kinks and the second thing I would like to secure it as a spot on the on the agenda in the month of October so that we can report our progress and that being said I believe my 3 minutes up so I thank you for your time and I hope to that I'm able to continue this conversation with mr. Baker later thank you thank you and thank you for respecting us doing it so because I haven't had a lot of community, so I forgot to read I'm going to eat that quickly and then we're going to the second one cell individuals who wish to address the board of medicine affect the district and its programs are requested to complete a request to dress Board of Education card and submit it to the board presents because I request to limit comments to 3 minutes speakers are requested to limit, 2:16 minutes if people will be notified that he or she has one minute remaining the board shall limit the total time of public input on each item to 30 minutes if you're ready come and succeed 30 minutes remaining comments Maybe at the conclusion of our possession business please note that in accordance with board policy number 932 for all meetings are televised and recorded members of the public may bring before the board matter they are not listed on the agenda while the board welcomes input from the community they will not respond they were not respond or take action during public comment the more board may decide to refer matters to District staff for taking her. a future meeting all comic cards must be submitted prior to open session call to order at 4:30 p.m., cars received after 4:30 p.m. may be heard at the conclusion of Open Session business Maria do you think you're going to go more than 3 minutes cuz I didn't say I don't want to start the timer Leon you and I started it give me a few minutes and then I'll start the timer that letter word members superintendent Davis cabinet and the community I am here as a concerned parent special needs parent to 3 I have some concerns regarding her educates the concern that is it's it's a whole lot of concerns that have its first we what are special needs kids to be all inclusive I understand that it's the way it's better inclusive and there's in Yosemite Valley this can be coming in to be more inclusive are those kids but you're having these SEC kids put into classrooms in Jen Edge in middle school and high school. I've never been in a Jenn-Air class with no para educators are there Science and History so you have these kids struggling with no no one to help them but you also have teachers who are dealing with new Behavior I have not dealt with behaviors before so that is one concern we need to hire more pair of Educators for our schools for to be more all-inclusive but as well as for our elementary kids I've noticed that we don't have as many pair of secateurs overall and your you have her educated us will have to deal with changing diapers with high behaviors but yet the pay not as should I say people don't want to apply for those jobs because the pay is low for the amount of work that they have to do is there a way that we can easy amount or pay a hazard pay for those that have to change diapers or have to deal with high-risk behaviors you would probably get more people wanting to apply for the paraeducator positions I know another then I have seen and I know because my sister is a paraeducator in the middle school is there having shortages in classrooms on top of them had being with high caseloads in the resource having to go from Sinister than trying to figure out how they can help all these kids but on top of that if a paraeducator is absent in say life skills or one of the other classes are pulling from these resources to help these kids now what is happening with those kids in resource now they have no one to help them or they're being while all these other pair of jeans are at being spread thin so we there's there's a lot of need and for these kids and a lot of these kids are I know my son you've been dealing with bullying in the school and I did something that I believe I've been working with the school regarding but it first started because there was no one in His science class there was no Witnesses where the teacher is watching their their teaching but nobody is there to kind of help you kids or to stop these other behaviors from picking all these kids will have August needs so I guess also I know there's not a lot of people who want to play is your way of you guys looking into an outside company who can come in and provide until those positions are filled I know other districts have done is Workforce to other companies to provide / Educators for the school for the district so I thank you for looking tomorrow thank you thank you very much and it's good to see you miss Maria Torres Lopez I think you moving on item 3.3 BT a comments I would like to Anthony Garcia New Times. I are getting everyone offer so I want to congratulate on your new position and I'm sure you do grapes have a couple quick things today first of all I saw in the unaudited unaudited actuals that Southerners a 5 billion dollar overage in the budget and when you have an oversight that it creates a lot of mistrust at the bargaining table and the district tells us we only have this money and then you have a 5 million fall out at the end of the year I kind of need some citizens to trust me I know a lot of it was restricted but again money can be shipped around and stuff so second we still have teachers at Nicolet teachers that have not got access to their online curriculum yet I've been asking the district and Barbara Walters over a month now we still don't have access to this is something that could be easily fixed if the department chairs were given access at admin access to the curriculum we could have already given it to them given the oven and the last thing is just last year we've built started to build collaboration started Bill communication and some of it is starting to slip a little bit and I don't want to see that so I hope that the district will you know taking a mine and we had about three grievances I'm in a lot of miscommunication so stuff is just taking a while so we just that communication kind of wild because I know the district is working on it and ask me a little more time and you can just tell me it's being worked on got to tell me how it's being worked on because when I go to my people have you asked about it I can't tell him wealthy work on or at the building I was being worked on so we just need to stop at location of operation again thank you thank you all right moving onto item 3.4 see if they come in this mess around I'm still here and she had to leave is there anybody who she appointed to take her place tonight if she comes back we'll ask her to come up and make a comment I'm moving on to item for item 4.1 superintendent's comment like to welcome Davis good evening thank you for present members of the board are Community or staff I saw a few things tonight and in addition to that presentation on topic to coherence but I'll start with welcoming our student representative Alyssa zabala masitas falencia or administrative assistant to the superintendent yesterday met with her to go over a few things and I look forward to working with you I'm excited about it and so we will be meeting again talk about how we work together to solve some of the concerns that are brought up and How We Gather those concerned so I'm really excited about that next just a comment about doctor adesina so doctor has seen again has been here for 14 years I believe his he's been in education for over 40 years 38 years almost 40 years in education and I just want to say since I met him and we were in covid time he's been extremely passionate and purposeful about math and about collaboration and so I'm really excited for him as he moves on to a new Endeavor very happy about that next even though right now I think our temperature right now is is I don't know what's going on with the weather but we all know living in this area it goes from 100° to 70 like overnight and so maybe that's why there's more bless you this evening in ever while because they be the temperatures cooler I don't know but I wanted to give a shout out to our mot Department because if we remember just a couple weeks ago it was blazing hot and I think as how many air conditioners were out in the district in classrooms and what I heard was none although I know there's some challenges and some of the spaces that didn't have AC units on but that's amazing and I know that Mr Paige are you here it's about I just want to make sure that you talked with the staff and share our thanks mr. page posted a picture on Twitter it was a picture of staff on top of a roof inside of an AC unit working on that that's good to see if they're for kids to see in our community to see so I want to thank you for that hard work even though it's cooled off now and the last comment before we going to coherence is there was a flyer that was sent out about the kindness told so to I will be our first session of diving in too deep kindness a revolutionary guide for the way we think talk and act in kindness and I've seen so much kindness for mr. Garcia I think maybe you've already read so I'm excited about looking forward to that as we do that as a district book study so please tune in more will be part 1 with his chapters 1 through 3 it was just a quick warning chapter 1 will make you cry I thought it'd be better to present from this perspective or the presentation book is pretty deep pretty deep stuff so good evening again in this is our second presentation of coherence and I put these pictures up just to show an example of what needs to be done in every system so up to the upper left of that football team are there has to be some coherent team in order for the students to be taken care of and to do well in that Center picture is the same game which was I think not this past Friday but the Friday before last and I'm going to come back to that at the end of this presentation so tonight chapter 2 which is out of six chapters see so as a reminder this is what we are about in Banning we are a diverse community and we are responsible to develop responsible respectful and prepare students to achieve their full potential and as our president seller has shared with me and made it really easy to remember we're all about pie how we prepare Inspire and educate not only our students but also our staff begin chapter 2 we are focusing on that upper left part of that Circle there which is focusing Direction how do we focus Direction as a school district and therefore components their Purpose Driven goals that impact Clarity of strategy and change leadership that we're going to focus on the seat just a review from last week which was chapter one and the pages were there for you and again anyone can receive Facebook this email myself or Miss Palencia and we will get you a copy of this book and so last time we talked about the drivers what is a driver in the driver would pushes you forward if you will in a Michael Pollan and Doctor Quinn talks about wrong and right drivers and they talked about punitive accountability individualistic strategies technology and policies and how those are good things but should we use them to drive us forward and they recommend what they call the right drivers any building collaboration pedagogy in system and we talked about last time about culture and strategy so again just because someone says it means nothing you have to build a culture once you go culture than you're able to try to move forward and develop that social capital so this chapter was really about whom will become the glue so you guys know if you've ever been a part of a team if you do being a part of a where my nose a meeting or gathering any type of group sometimes there's these people in that team that kind of jail and make everyone come together and when that person isn't there it's like all we really miss that person they're holding it together but in this system that full and talks about it's not a person is how you develop a group to be the group blue to move forward and one of the things that he talks about I'm sorry is I'm building a clear pathway to improve learning and demonstrable and demonstrable ways and so is how you develop and sustain that Focus driven in the glue does that the first part of this chapter was about Purpose Driven and that is on page 19 of the book and so it really talks about how we build relationships with everyone and it even talks about including those who disagree with you and are skeptical and even cynical so even if someone's going to light me up because they're upset about what I've done or someone else done you should listen because there's a lot to learn but when we shut those people oh no that's not true we move on we're not being inclusive we're not listening to all of the parts to try to move it forward in the section they also talked about listening to understand it's hard to listen to understand because what's going in our mind is I'm thinking about what I have to do or you said this and I just agreeing so I'm holding on to this when we let go and just listen and take notes we process later that's what mr. Garcia saying he said yeah collaboration is dropping a little bit and I think we need to pick it up so I'm inferring things in my head about what he is actually saying and typically I will get to the bottom of that but we're going to have mr. Baker get to the bottom of that find out what's going on. That's how we get to listening what is the issue and how we move for don't suppose about demonstrating respect for all so how do we do that cam not getting upset right and just trying to listen thoroughly so what's happening on the outside maybe, but what's happening on the inside I may be going crazy but you don't see that so how do we demonstrate that as a leader Nexus creating condition those around you so I've always been told for very long time my mood for the morning sets the tone and I said what are you talkin about know it doesn't because I've been told I'm Moody and I don't know I'm not I had to find out maybe I am so I said well what does that mean they say we look to see maybe not so much fear per se I guess so here they say what is the mood today so if I'm in a happy mood it sounds like the day is going to go well but if I a little upset and I may be upset because something to happen at home but people look on your queue so how do you create the conditions to create connections around you and this is not just the leader this is everyone same thing for the board so if Miss trout means up your smiling having a good time that's going to imitate throughout the rest of the bore but if mr. Smith is up there like I'm upset and maybe he's hungry I'm going to imitate real so how do we develop that Highway missed conditions to connect and finally examining examine with staff that evidence of progress and so that means and we talked about this other than our leadership to me is sometimes we are Wolcott in what we do and sometimes when we don't hear positive things about what we're doing cuz we think we're doing good stuff we're better than we were last month yesterday but no one is telling you that so you have to stop and look at some of the evidence that is the progress as I go through school sites is very interesting now that when I go with the principal and walk around on this coffee table is gone because I just visited Central last week and I was told that some of the teachers civil why didn't they come to my classroom so when you get to that point when people want you to be there that means you're trying to create those conditions of positivity and so that's energy Discord next part was about goals that impact let's see what I want to say about that and so full and talks about the problem is not the absence of goals in districts are schools today but the presence of too many goals and Hogs unconnected with an ever-changing things usually when teachers get most frustrated is when you're something new that come you got to tell me I have to do this to on top of that without explanation the other party talks about is most of the times in that situation were scrambling to implement too many directions and lacking a coherent sense of how they connect to the results and that creates fog so anytime someone is putting all these things on your plate you're going to get a little frustrated cuz you want to do it well so how can we be mindful of that well I can't be mindful that if I never walk into a classroom and see what a teacher or the instructional program is not guiding and teaching so that's all about how we are transparent to see what's going on and build a collaborative approach so an example of that or the board goals we recently I know the board has spent a lot of time over the past year looking at Gold how we move forward this recently we took seven goals and brought them down to 3 to be inconsistent in alignment with our El Cap doors that way I have a bunch of stuff we're trying to do here in a bunch of stuff we're trying to do there and then I'm being asked why are we doing this why are you doing this I don't know what's going on I'm going crazy because it's not clear so how do we play rifai minimize those goals reduce refer and remove it we don't need to then being alignment and we do that we should be doing that while we're cultivating engagement listening to others Miss Maria Maria Lopez Torres I think I've known you since I've been in the district we met and talked one time but I do know this about her she is actively on our social media and gauging giving suggestions right now so that's about how we're engaging to do better and it's not that we can do everything but it's how do we do things step-by-step improved thanks is the clarity of strategy in this picture is here because it's just kind of what I just talked about sometimes we offer like this in our lives are at work or whatever it is we got so much stuff going on and so just a few examples of this and get to my page so this is page 25 M26 so it talks about change quality and when it talks about superficiality it talks about the status quote when the climate is okay things are okay and people are getting along but typically when that's case status quo and when things are status quo in the world we live in we're going backwards we're not going for cuz everything around us is changing is moving fast but if we're staying the same we're going back with us so that's like the superficiality piece the nursery peace is when teachers are left alone no one talks of the teachers there and their own room and I heard that's how it used to be here I'm not talking about the principal coming in but I'm talking about the instructional leaders coming in to see what's happening and sometimes that can create a little bit of frustration for teachers or the unknown why are they here they're going to evaluate me or they can fire me all of those things but it talks about teachers having the license to be created which is positive but it also talks about how they've had the license be ineffective as well at taught if there is no one seeing what's happening in Heaven Knows conversation and it also talks about the Innovative teachers receiving little feedback and so the next part I have a really good sample talks about resistance and when you have a resistance base is that it talks about in insufficiently involve teachers in developing ownership and capabilities because teachers have not engaged in shaping the ideas or the strategies of the Innovation due to lack of ownership and so let me give you a perfect example several years ago there was a new law that was changed and it did with Justin and basically the law came from the state wasn't created by school districts that said that there needs to be intervention prior to students being suspended for certain type of offenses well where I worked at that time administrator start to change they were talked to by the district office skip to the sights and they started implementing so when students are getting in trouble they were sent right back to the class or teachers were angry they were upset because they felt like the principal was disrespecting him and not you don't keeping this zero-tolerance we'll come to find out there was no communication it was no communication from the district office for the principal to the teachers about this change and law with that mitt and how we would with the implications will be at the school so I thought a year or two later conversations in half but in the meantime that you wrote it trust in a rodent what the teachers perception of what was happening because they didn't know but it was never talked to they were never a part of the process to be able to be all in you will and then the last part of that is deaf and it talks about this is the optimal environment we're operating in conditions of high trust collaboration and effective leadership and more will be willing to innovate and take and here's my example for that several years ago when I was in a district and several other Ministries will walk through a school so I kind of like what's happening right now with a random so we're doing sidewalks what is it called learning walks where group of people going to each classroom and it's not evaluative but they're looking up with instructions so in that first happen where I work there was some concern with the teachers what are they in here for what's happened 3 years later teachers were please come to my class I want to show you what I'm doing that took three years to transform because it wasn't punitive and it was all to build practice as well as to celebrate what happening will notice School site with that example is that's how you get to death that means that mr. Garcia's clearly understand what we're doing and why Orinda has come up several times about the cost in about where we're going and this would all say to that our goal is to stay is Orinda out because they're bad or they cost a lot of money they do but if we can develop those practices that we are implementing in building the capacity within our own self so that's the goal to phase them out we don't pay for that anymore but we're doing self show the next component in the last company I think is change leadership and this is when we're adjusting Ramada fine we're shifting we're transforming we're transitioning and that is happening as we speak right now so I'll give you an exam an example of that is process for purchase orders and how we deal with a budget from the district office to the site level this is my understanding of what has happened in the past this office would say here's your know you can do this or you can do that so the principal would ask and I have the money to do this program and it was either yes or no now we are trying to shift to a model where the business off the saying hey masallar at your side you have X amount of billion to do these programs so I can do you have X amount of dollars to do these programs and they walk away or what's happening now because there's a lack of communication and understanding and it's new this change and there's this change leadership about how that's done so once we are in that outside will be able to go oh here's the money I can use and I can use it for this I'm just going to do it and they'll be supported so that chair his leadership can be challenging but the goal is to move past that that we were all on the same page and moving together for moving together collectively in this time I'm right here just really kind of shows an example of that so over to the left that's comfortable that's familiar you guys have groups of people that you've grown up with or that you hang out with uncle with or you I don't know what the because you post doesn't know she reads a lot of books I don't know but you have these groups that are comfortable there known as the status quo and it's easy to survive in that but we're trying to push people out of that group to the unknown to more efficiency the more coherence in that can be that can create anxiety that can uncertainty what's going to happen so we're kind of in that space right now and the last part of the book is it talks about a k stuck in this is I believe on page 35 where talks about Ontario Ontario Canada where Ontario Canada is the largest Providence with a population of over 13 million bring a diverse student group and they had a lot of challenges a lot of a lack of student achievement and so they did a few things the first thing they decided to do was focus on literacy and numeracy so that goes back to what is happening in the classroom secondly they develop a culture of respect for teachers as professionals and I hope mr. Garcia we're doing that over working on that developing respect for teachers and what they do the goal so that way they know we do care about you we understand but we can only understand if we're in the space is things have changed drastically since most folks have been in the car 13 that they talk is improving teaching and learning practices was a part of the at the heart of their capacity building strategy and that's what are renda's they're doing that in their teaching us how to do that so that way we can continue that and finally the four thing that they did on TV what is a stay created a strategy of capacity-building that combined with monitoring monitoring and support of development and intervention was at their core so how do they continue to build the capacity of their staff where in that Miss right now we're in the throes of that and we hope that we're going to see that same success that they saw in Ontario now this is on page 46 of the book and it really just breaks down focusing directions what kind of do some visuals as well as provide some narrative in terms of what focusing direction is the last part of saying wrap up this chapter with before their questions is the upper-left picture is the picture of Archie L 2 weeks ago so those are brand new uniforms I believe they look good they were happy they were having a good time out there no matter what was going on on the field agent cure their heart out there they just saw the big picture on the right is when this I believe this was West Valley I believe in Hemet the cheerleaders from I believe Manning went over to get the rest of the cheerleaders from Valley they all went over gathered in this circle and they start doing chance and they start doing dances I even asked Mr Heather to get in the center of it but he said he wanted to wake up and without you know being hurt the next day we going to get them in that Circle here's my point to this you have different students from different districts and their collectively working together so this has to be some practice they knew what to do they were hyping up the crowd they were happy they were engaged great to see and then last Friday at the Beaumont Banning game that's that picture down at the bottom left and three gals let me correct that language three of the cheerleaders from Beaumont came and they did the same kind of thing and you see how happy they are in that picture so that's what it's about how we create the conditions for collaboration and working together to move for it so any questions comments anything in the reading that you saw or anything you guys want to discuss looks like there's no this is really good I read it I read it before and then I went back and read it this afternoon before the meeting and it's really exciting then hopefully it will be able to move this game on them book club for tomorrow I think we're at how many about 45 cents and I hope you have a little more I hope to see this procedure they're still in there everybody in here want to see him so yeah that that's a go and I think after tomorrow cuz we'll have some space to get in breakout rooms and just kind of talked about that heavy topic I think it will. Thank you for the opportunity I just wanted to but I appreciate the visual because it's our students as our district our community and it really does bring home a message and I was at that football game but the bigger picture on the right hand and I know I did share with you that I was it was moving or surprising hadn't seen that before and I was like well that's pretty awesome that our student were able to do that the students can do it thank you so much mr.

Ramos as department head in fiscal services and start Baker's Department in Human Resources academic Services Under the new ship with Dr qazi Bush made his operations Transportation charter fishing services the page and also with a mr. Fire and also the school sites at ended it takes a lot of work it was a tumultuous year however at again this is a culmination of all that hard work same to you reporting of our financials you're not at Axel's requirements they are again the revenues and expenditures fund balances and assignments as a June 30th of 2022 they need to be approved by the board of please buy September 15th balance carry over into the actual doctor budget and so that means that the unaudited actually any fun. X equals or adopted budget beginning fund balance for the 20 23 fiscal year if you may recall there was a 45-day budget revision that is not included in the current report however will be embedded into the first center on 422 23 the unaudited axles as it is in the name they are currently on audited and will go through an audit process and this has been a progressive process since the spring all the way to the park the report will be reported in December and presented to the board in January 20th the budget cycle consists of the same diagram that I like to bring back to show us where we're at in the budget cycle at this point we're close to the to our we're wearing again going through the unaudited actions of the prior fiscal year and will be moving forward into the first denim all reports that we present to the board are projections for the exception of this one here that's why I'm so representing this will get today because it is if you're not a good axles for 22 23 and looking at how we ended the year now hand it over to mr. ohms director fiscal services to go over the financial report overview good evening board president Sattler esteemed Board of Trustees the district leadership team superintendent Davis and the Banning community so I know Mr Edis said we get very it is about all this accounting a little bit of the unaudited actuals so as I misread that I mentioned the fiscal Services team compiled all of the accounting and now it's the opportunity to take a look back at the 2122 year to see how all the Phantom Financial panel now let's take a look at the financial report overview we have the header row which has the 2122 another day Axel's there's columns for the unrestricted programs the restricted programs and then you have a total for the fund over to the left we have descriptions of revenues as well as descriptions expenditures and over to the right-hand column there is a difference column which gives you a summary of the difference between our 2122 another did axles and our current 23 budget now let's take a look at the calculation on how the fund balance is calculated we take the revenues for the 2122 fiscal year we deduct out any expenditures or first and then we arrive at the net increase or decrease in the fund balance in this case we had an increase in the fund balance you take our beginning balance that tells us where we started the 21 go to school year we add in that increase and then we arrived at the ending fund balance we then minus Eleni components restricted balances or assignments and then fine we're at the reserve for economic uncertainties and the end ending fund balance felt a little more in detail view of the revenues and expenditures for the general fund we had total revenues of 87.5 million you can see that song made up of the lcff revenue as well as federal state and local Revenue on the hand side we have a breakdown of expenditures so our expenditures for the 2122 fiscal year were 77.7 million so our revenues were greater than our expenses of the revenues were 7.5 million and the expenditures were 77.7 you can see all the breakdown of the expenditures by category now I'd like to know that we have in these values 15.9 million of those revenues were one-time funds and 12.6 of those revenues excuse me expenditures were one-time funds and 3.3 million of that was restricted carry over that was spent I will take a look a little bit further at our fund balance and components so on the left hand side we have a description of each of the Rose we have estimated actuals which these are the values that at the June 29th board meeting we estimated this is where we where we were going to be at the end of the year and then now that all of the accounting has been finalized all the transactions have been posted we have the unaudited actuals column and then on the right we have the differences so the difference would be between our estimate at June 29th an unaudited axles which is the final you'll see in bold the row for the adjusted ending fund balance as well as assignments and the reserved for economic uncertainty so are fun. reserved for economic uncertainty was anticipated at 11.25% we landed at 12.87 per cent but that's a high-level summary and I'm going to hand it over to mr. edita for further breakdown of the thank you mr. Ramos as it as he stated to be asked him ended actuals were a part of the financial report back in June we now close to a year and so the various is that we see on the revenues and expenditures majority are due to the fact that it assumes in a budget cycle that you're going to spend a lot of your restricted dollars if not I'll and so what happens is that once the expenditures do not mature lice because of various reasons and I'll go through some of the reasons in the few is that the revenue Center or decrease to match the expenditures and that is the basis of categorical program accounting and underneath the revenues which is an interesting term accounting term and the unrestricted general fund however we did see a decrease in what was expecting and expanded and it's relatively more closely related to supplemental concentration expenditures that did not materialize that carry over also unfilled positions throughout the year and again during a budget cycle you assume that you will be hiring and then a hundred percent and recognizing that there will be a Fallout of swords and so that is part of The Balancing Act in a budget cycle as it relates to an auditor. all along there was a net increase of 5.5 million dollars to the general fund of which 3.9 million dollars are hi to restricted programs certainly restricted programs to allow for carryover such as expanded learning opportunity program the educator Effectiveness and the expanded learning opportunity and so that is considered a restrictive the fund balance and it's reduce from the 5.5 million dollars the adjusted fund balance of 1.5 is essentially with Foster to the bottom line and within the assignments that I'll be digging and show you in just a bit there was an allocation of 1.5 million dollars resulting in a net difference from estimated access to an audited Astros of $7,000 so we do see an increase to their bizarre fracking due to the tabulation of expenditures over some of your fund balance over the expenditures which is about 1.62% increase overall the takeaway from this slide is that the district ended its financial position as it was expected back in June so in the tune and nature of full transparency and we are now going through the assignments of the fund balance that make up a 5.4 million dollars you saw that there was an increase of 1.5 million dollars and it's at least category so I'll go on the top unrestricted programs such as many how many state of activities turn donations of Massachusetts over $600,000 as I mentioned the carryover for supplemental concentration was 1.2 for 2021 and 13 million dollars for 2122 the area that's on increasing the assignment was he carrier technical education Furniture fixtures and equipment category this is a line item that had been on the budget for quite some years it was about three million dollars at some point that was reduced to some of the finding that the district was successfully able to receive that was decreased to $500,000 and now back increase of $1,000 even some of that latest conversations that we've had with the state in terms of grant funding for the modernization project that apply for back in 2018 and so there may be a increased contribution needed by the general fund and so this year this assignment and the increase of assignment of 500,000 large is to be able to match that require through that particular modernization Grant from State the next item is the Banning High School and so I got a little bit ahead of me myself there for second the Bennett High School reorganization that was a grand I was just speaking up the Career Technical education that is actually part of the other I dread that was supply for by the state related to the p a c they Performing Arts Center this was also a large dollar amount a few years ago and this was increased to meet some of the furniture fixtures and equipment needs. we've identified I'm since the opening of the building awesome assignments that we've seen in the past again 22 2122 and technology equipment replacement and textbook adoptions Stanislaus 2288 those three items remain the same and the newly added assignment is three-quarters of a million $750,000 for school facilities Improvement projects so it is entirely we see all the acai there was an opportunity to a have extra dollars fall to the bottom line and it's in a 1.5 million dollars that were allocated to the assignments as a component of the fund balance moving forward to find outside of the general fund will go through some high-level changes in the funds and a speak to some of the great successes we've had in allocated resources to meet our facilities needs Student Activity resource revenues is for the associated student body this is a new fund that was established also back in June to recognize activities in the ESPYs this is recognition of those dollars that are dedicated to the school size and generated by the school sites through you organize asb's also 113 this is our cafeteria Special Reserve fund for nutritional services are there was an increase in Klang also there is an increase in one-time dollars that were recognized are resulting in an ending balance of 1.1 million dollars 114 21:25 and 40 and a group those together to put together an amount in which is the dedication by the district to address some of his facilities needs in the tune of 6.5 yen in dollars including the assignment that shows reference a $750,000 in the previous slide answer these funds a devoted for deferred maintenance I'll building projects and capital facilities as well and I'm very excited to be able to have a plan financially and not working through the evaluation of a facilities need to effectuate of those projects last but not least is fun 51 this bond interest Redemption funding is controlled by the accounting treasure on and this is more of an informational item of bond interest in redemption in terms of outstanding bonds and those changes are are due to various factors within the market and also the pain down of the bonds that the district is currently have outstanding the next steps are to approve the 2122 unaudited axles rollover a fund balances will be recognized at first interim report which will be in December 2022 as mentioned we are currently going through and finalizing the audit report with the external auditor of the district and will be filed to the state controller's office SEO by December 2023 and at this point the auditor will either agree or disagree and we're very hopeful on the green component of it that are the financial position that has been reported by the district is aligned with the stand by the Auditors will so with that thank you very much and will be happy to answer any questions I want the real I know that we had some additional revenues in covid and everything we are in danger and I know they had timelines associated with those and spending but those dollars are we in danger or have we already spent everything that was I got a deadline on it or are we in and you're losing any of that money back to the state or the federal government at this point we have not lost any funding mapping to report that nasty funny has become available the Patrick has been spending them reporting them in a timely manner currently do have the largest portion of which is after three of the expected expiration date for that in September of 2023 there's been some extensions along the way as well and so to answer your question at this point to we are just standing in terms of the one-time dollars and not being I'm in a position where we may lose funding thank you any comments alrighty then I had a motion by mistreatment in a second by me sangriana all those in favor say aye aye aye those opposed hearing none the unaudited actuals what is Route I did want to thank you for the presentation thank you I did like the picture on the back which I don't know Miss Rodriguez. But she's in I always like that it's always so well put together it's very easy to understand thank you both for that numbers has never been my strong suit but you make it very clear so thank you very much for that all right if you're not into item 6.2 Business Services games for the board to adopt one resolution number 23-0 14 board member compensation blanket board item is there a motion in second to open a discus item 6.2 as i s discussion on this item play sorry one of the red lines in this where the athletic eligibility for the students and I am I to believe that there was no language in their prior to this and do I under and it correctly that students Abyss will be able to compete in a Scholastic lie with she is so this one's about this one is with an issue that we've had where board members don't attend and then our previous policy was that we would have to approve paying that person even though they didn't show up however our feelings now is that there's a lot of things that board members to you other than this meeting you do walkthroughs we meet with people would do a lot of stuff five meetings committees and so rather than I'm having approve every time a board member misses a meeting we can just say from now on if you miss however there is if she language in there that is a board member Jessie show up at all just stopped showing up and not telling people they're not coming then that would be doing that could come up for discussion about support but for right now it just said it's just a competition that once you're elected in your on the get paid so any other discussion on that or did you have just one so say a lie cuz I I know I missed one cuz I had covid lost my voice but and I wasn't able to attend so if I were to miss just the one and say I didn't tell anyone why I didn't come then would that still qualify because I I meant I missed the last one also and I do apologize for that but wood therapy I guess you could say like exceptions like what would there have to be a decent reason for the board member to miss not just cuz like if you miss and then you came to the next board in a meeting and said hey at 1:10 and while you guys were penny board I would ever do that but like if a board member works just like I just didn't feel like coming you know then wouldn't there wasn't one of the things this language mr. Davis is not in the other's language in the the policy for that things that we talk tonight about is coherence in communication and if there's that big of a breakdown and once the board that you can't call somebody or text somebody and say hey and I have an emergency I can't come then that's a different issue that we need to probably discuss cuz I do like trying to communicate if I can't make it you know then I'll try and tell mr. Davis and let Miss presidents that were so we don't have to go back in the boat and then explored me every single meeting if there's an absence your example was really good cuz you were in Florida and cut Cove in urine all that stuff but then at the I'm time once you got back then you run you met with the committee more than once so there was a lot of things that you did and there's a lot of time that we spend on going through the agenda prior to the agenda there's a lot of time at rudinos Friday reports it is a lot of work so just the fact that you know you had situations in over the summer you know we all have situations over the summer so I think this is what what like you said was that just making it so we don't have to ever happen again. That's great do you have any questions I think just out of courtesy and I feel that we mostly communicate we're not able to make it we don't have to get detailed explanation as to why we can't but out of respect a I mean I'll be able to make it today and we do to Allah aside from bored but all right now I just want to say I remember when I first started I was running errands for thinking okay it's mostly just board meetings once a month oh my gosh how I was wrong but I love it I do quite a bit then I had a motion by mr. Smith and a second by Miss Troutman all those in favor to pass out of 6.2 or that board resolution number 23-0 14 say I was supposed none Adam 6.2 passes moving on to items 7.1 this item is for the board to accept the first reading of revised board policy 6158 Independence study is there a motion as to open and discuss item 7.1 and 7.1 and then open up thank you is it long very silly so this is the question that you have on this one about independence day playing football or something it was just about the eligibility for me back in the Atlantic side so it does this is this grant our best students eligibility to to compete in c i f good evening again I'm this is separate from the multi School agreement or see is that application was submitted to include this in so this is this item has to do with our actual dependent study program and an update as it relates to independent study requirements but this is cover like if a student is a professional athlete in some way like or an Olympic Athlete did they have to an independent study in order to do practices and do events if it's a lie that so this disagreement this particular policy has to do with for example some updates as it relates to our any pain study program namely or example how much time the actual agreement has to be signed off on as an example we have short-term independent study which is usually 15 days or less and then more than that is the long-term independent study all right, I do have a question on page 5 ever first 24 start students in grades K through 12 was that a typo because we have t k shouldn't we have t k through 12 or is there a reason TK wouldn't be part of it or independent study I have on my note that I'm pretty sure it's on page I think dr. Kazi brushes question is do we do independent study for transitional kindergarten and so that transitional in the kindergarten is considered a two-year program and so transitional kindergarten is considered to be one of those two years of kindergarten I'm and typically students in transitional kindergarten on because of their age range and with the new legislation if you will that age will decrease in terms of how old do need to be to be eligible to as little as three years 11 months and we just have to think about how feasible it might be for student at that particular age level to be successful in independent study and so for now we've left it I'm to begin at kindergarten any other questions thank you Doctor Cosmos translation thank you all right so I had a motion by Miss Thang Rihanna and a second by mr.

Davis and I we just completed our second session of at 3:19 on Saturday morning we have two more to go I think that what I've gotten from it so far which I really do enjoy participating in it and not working with other districts and board members and superintendents are present is a really makes you think about what policies that we have and what policies do we have in place that may be encouraging Equity issues and so it talks about being able to look through the lens of equity and big they had an example of like the fish that they're swimming in water and then someone from the outside unit is like you know look out of the water around you and the fish were just like what what are you talking about if that's all they were used to know they were seeing and so I thought. but analogy to the concept of it and brother the board to look at our policies and what we're doing to ensure that we are being Equitable and what we're providing to our students and our district and then I think another one that is Trevor Davis was that they said that we have to be okay without getting that closure and seeing that change for the end result that you were there and wanted to see although I did tell mr. Davis I'm not okay with not having close but it really makes you reflect back about like what your role is in be okay with what does happen at the end of your term that was a very interesting getting to talk to other board members other superintendents and get their input on how things are done in their districts and share how we do things in our district and it was nice just to get an outside perspective on things and I really enjoyed it and I I look forward to the next two sessions mr. Can you do me a favor and pull up I think there's a tab on the computer just want to do a couple of visuals with our board members were talking about because I've been involved in a lot of equity training over the years and I will say that this for me has been the best and you because it's not about particular type of student it's about all student and powder we apply Equity to eat student and so one of the things I want to share in that same article that misaki and I was talking about the water for change there was a v Jewel that talks about systems change now we're reading coherence and I'm reading it for the I don't know worth time maybe and so I'm finding more out about it and so if you can just scroll down a little bit there in the Sahara that's what this is the article that Gianna was talking about Water Systems of change and if you could go down to the next picture so this upside down pyramid I learned a lot about because I am my mind I was going all systems within our district so I gave an example earlier about the systems of a purchase order or the payroll system and we have a lot of systems that we have to create enhance or learn we're doing a better but this really is about the system of school districts if you look at the bottom that mental models is about our habits of thought the way we influence how we think what we do how we if we don't do that internally we're not going anywhere and so at the top of that pyramid or the policies practices those are all things that are things that are put on us if you will from the state from the Federal Government Can you something about it absolutely you can navigate you could Lobby you can do a lot of things but those are things that are are reaching versus the things that are right at our hands the relationship between xtian and as we build those connections we don't want to lose it so we have to enhance them we have to listen for when we work on the bottom of that pyramid then our systems are more clearly defined and if you can scroll down a little bit so the last thing we talked about is is they talked a lot about having an echo policy and lo and behold we do have an equity policy and so I read over this a few times and so one of the things I think we need to determine after we finished our next two sessions are does this policy need to be revised is it supposed to pick enough for us and what we're doing we need to create a definition of equity and we need to have an equity statement and I think that's something that we can bring back to the board and have those, if I could just add really quickly was surprised to hear or to learn the other some districts they don't have enough bloody policy it was great when David brought up a BP number and everything that we actually had one but did we know that we had one and our Wii U are we really implementing it the way that should really about taking that policy in in bedding and everything that we do so we need to look at that thank you I feel like I was there all right so I'm 10.2 committee update so I'm going to start with the budget one are we moving forward with that just a simple yes or no wish I had that and she said just so you know he know he ready to let it go we are most certainly ready to move forward with the budget committee and so the first our meeting is going to be scheduled early in October maybe mid-october so to go over the unaudited axles and go more in-depth as to how we ended the year also to discuss a permit parameters building a person on budget that would then be the discussion for the December meeting once the interim budget has completed its 10 to discuss it with the budget committee before bringing it to the board where's the second interim the March meeting will be discussing some of the changes as it relates to the governor's budget and how it impacts the not only the current fiscal year but also the two subsequent fiscal year I'm in the spring April the Elkhart development process will be under way it'll be great opportunity to tie not only the discussions with these RPG planning Advisory Group are spy group development of that plan but also as a relates to the Financial component and finally in May it would be the final meeting of the year to discuss the estimated actuals and also the budget for the following year given that in may we receive guidance from the state in terms of the revised and the assumptions to be utilized for that bunch of development thank you in the visual or did I miss that a lot as in been discussed this yet to that's a great question I was on Keanu and so the right now we have one board member be yourself while participating in the budget committee also we're going to be welcoming our union labor Partners one of each membership also the idea is to use existing committees and get parents involved in those committees to be part of the budget committee said that when information is shirt is disseminated back to those other committees across the district such as the pack and also the F pack so that's about 3 more members there and in the fourth one will be most likely from a School site Council as well and to administrators would be recommended from each level secondary primary and also the District administration which is about a total altogether of 12 members as part of the committee any more questions for mr. who are on that so that's good thank you for that update I appreciate it and then miss Troutman did you want to update us on the Safety Committee we've had I've been to one and a half dozen one of them we we had a presentation it was called our zero and dad to give a presentation on steps that schools can take in the case of an emergency who the contact person is it sounded great and there was another one that was brought forward that the half meeting was about that one I apologize I can't remember the name of navigate 360 sounded great as well there was a lot that there was talk about other safety pictures of window coverings and such it was great there was a lot of discussion there was a lot of back-and-forth ideas bouncing off of each other it was it was great there was a lot of input everyone that came was involved and I thought it went very well I'm extremely excited for the next one and to add to that we we will be scheduling our next one on the 29th I'm so that calendar invite will be coming out where we were review the highlights from navigate 360 as well as our zero so that we can make a recommendation as far as how we're going to move forward with which vendors going to help us with our comprehensive safety plans District also for our window coverings we have set up a purchase order for the door window covering and in the next couple of weeks we will be meeting with a Window Tinting Company to look at some 3M material for window tinting or the the largest scale Windows district-wide as well so we'll have a little bit more information to bring back with regards to that as well that window tint it's like that you can see out but they can't see any type of thing yes yeah for those larger Windows like on Central on the backside and Nicolette we're looking for other measures to be able to wish I could be that will be good to you for like like so it doesn't get so hot right it will definitely help with it with the heat in Cabazon we had some pretty good blind especially cancer alright thank you so much for those too many updates so now we're going to move on to you board member comments and tonight I'm going to go so first of all and Miss coffee shop is not here anymore but yes I would have to say this that corn that they were selling a cheap there was a number one first price that was so good I got home we ate them when we got home and I was like oh we should have ate it there so I could go back to so the street there was amazing I was really proud of us the whole District came together and did some really remarkable things and then tonight I wanted to highlight the comments from Nicolet middle school so bored we our vision is to prepare Inspire and educate and anchor name what was her no I can't remember her first name a lot of say Nicole but that's not Natalie I knew it started with it and so now that came up and she told us that they participated or they have a program now called the generation which obviously prepares our students they talked about the street fair which inspired our students to be part and finally the bilingual literacy pathway which one of your students I just want to thank Nicolette for the steps you've taken in our vision and our goals so that's her my board comments and way to go I see a lot of change I'm really excited about what's happening in our schools and the way our
