position recently the hiring committee put for Yesenia Leon fever and recommended her for assistant principal the motion did not pass due to a Thai Boat and I'm asking the board to reconsider this candidate Yesenia Leon seba as she is an appropriately qualified person for this position she brings dual-language experience which is a big part of centrioles program she is well-respected among staff teachers a school of this size were nearly 800 students with complex programs including dual-language Mandarin or G necessitates an assistant principal as soon as possible I respectfully ask you to reconsider the boat thank you thank you the next one is for Miss Renee Miller good evening thank you so much for your time we're doing encourage you to reconsider your decision regarding Yesenia Leon Silva and Grant her the position as the assistant principal for Cabazon and Central Elementary schools these two schools currently serves more than 1100 students combined with only one Administration on each side the 23 or 22 23 El Cap identify the necessity of immediate addition to Elementary assistant principals and made the fun available this was in response to the increased attendance and support this is in response to the necessity of Administrators to increase positive behavior supports increase attendance support is. practices to meet and exceed the needs of our Banning students at this time only one of these positions have been filled Central in Cabazon are waiting for the much-needed additional support of an assistant promised by the El Cap Yesenia Leon Silva is an excellent teacher and the dual immersion program she leads by example as the added coordinator was Central on its way to become an atom model School Yesenia sisters as the admin designee regularly fulfilling the duty of principal in miskolc the job he's absence she is a leader among the staff and faculty mrs. Leon silver will bring her expertise and enthusiasm to the role of assistant principal she was brought to the board as the top choice of our principals are assistant superintendent of human resources and our superintendent she is the best choice for the position please reconsider your previous decision and allow mrs. Leon Silva to continue her excellent service to Banning Unified School District in the capacity of assistant principal thank you thank you Mac Miller next one as soon as my David Donnelly read behalf of Miss Shante Molina who could make it here but wanted a letter bread I'm speaking on behalf of the students and staff here at Central Elementary School in particular but I for both Central and Cabazon elementary students and staff we are so excited to hear we were so excited to hear that the school board and our superintendent had made the decision to hire assistant principals for our school we're waiting for our assistant principal with great anticipation then we heard that our own Banning School District train yes I know they only had been recommended to the board as you listen to assistant principal or both Hill Elementary in Cabazon Elementary came time for the approval of a new position this did not happen I am sure exact I'm not I'm not sure exactly what happened or what factors working when making this decision whatever the particulars were I wanted to highlight some reasons why not only myself but many of our staff believe that it would be wise to reconsider his decision and allow us and yellow and silver tube tired as recommended by the interview panel at the elementary school assistant principal for both Cabezon and Central Elementary School's first and foremost he has any Alliance you buy has already been admirably performing the duties of a leader in the role of assistant principal as our site in Ministry to visit me for when our principal cannot be present to perform these duties herself along with it she has also served in a leadership position and other side David coordinator for many years providing guidance training and inspiration to all of our teachers it is my understanding that she was so committed to the possibility of taking this position they should change the administrative program from accounting program to a university program allowed for her to be able to serve as an assistant principal with a university internship credential that in mind also demonstrates our commitment of both energy and finances to make this kind of move when she has all baby got a different program second meet Yesenia has experience as a dual immersion teacher what she has served as admirably well he has been amazing and leaving our school to become an Abbott Elementary School that another district has now sent teachers and administrators to visit that is all so incredible there's Limas ziba is well-liked by all of our dual immersion in English only staff not just our teachers but also are classified staff I remember vividly my first year at Sandhill Elementary School when you send out an email and Steve was Manning the front desk on a day that one of our office staff with so she's with me and compassionately intended Spanish and English speaking parents attended Spanish and English speaking parents call classrooms and delivered messages and more she has done this many games and more long before she went it was an administrative designee when she sees a need she lends a hat or three our school our schools need the assistance of an administrator of an assist principal there's a lot on our administrators play one of my continual worries is whether our leader was called Punjabi has a lunch and whether she has had a moment to breathe I should try single-handedly to manage schools that just Central Elementary I know that both Central Elementary in Cabazon Elementary would greatly benefit from the assistance of an assistant principal who knows our community well and as soon as possible in all matters using aliens Above and Beyond in everything she does she does she does it with the compassion and intelligence to lose her to another District as she considers her career path and seeks to grow as an educator and administrator I do humbly ask that you consider this as you hear our calls to reconsider allowing her to fill the position for which she was raped ended or buy all interview panel thank you for your time and consideration and for my part she has been she's always available she has demonstrated the skills that she needs to be an assistant principal not only for the students and the staff the parents and her leadership skills do go above and beyond she is always willing to put the students first and one of the things to keep in mind is that in being an assistant principal at Center Elementary the transition for a teacher should it be this year would be easier if she was at Central somebody that knows the school the students and the staff and she would be able to train and guide a new teacher because she will be on the campus so I hope that you take all this into consideration thank you thank you Miss Donnelly to miss Shante as well miss Liliana Solano good evening board members superintendent mr.

Davis you have to be you know you have to be versatile you have to know how to do a lot of things so with that said I'm just proud to be here in the time is still now so thank you ke085 a consent calendar the recommendation is to approve consent calendar agenda item 5.2 and 5.4 as provided all matters listed under the consent calendar agenda are considered to be routine and enacted by one motion and vote there is no separate discussion of these items prior to the time the Board of Education considers the most unless a member of the board of it or administrative staff request a specific items be discussed and or removed from the consent calendar agenda are there any items anyone wants to pull yes I would like you disgust me the job description and district and community relations coordinator item 5.3 do we have a motion in a second to prove items 5.15 going to + 5.4 / move a second have emotions Troutman and a second by Miss Martinez Lara all those in favor say aye and there's no opposed okay can I have someone open item emotion to item to discuss item 5.3 I move to open and discuss item five I second if I am 5.3 Human Resources district and community relations coordinator job description thank you I would like to see I would like to do some research on this particular relations coordinator position because I have been doing some research on it and all the way from Silicon Valley down to Colton I'm seeing that mission is the is the same position that it's it is a lot less money and it's so and it is not a managerial position so I'd like to discuss that with someone further like to reach out and discuss that further I know that we are being very frugal with our finances right now and and I would like to see that the discus are there before we post that position and have that that amount of compensation if I may can I share some information regarding the position regarding this position the communications position I was a Statewide if not nationally wide has been in the emerging position over the past several years is a position that most District did not have 5 to 10 years ago and now you will see almost every single district has that and so we're guarding every district is a little bit different in terms of what they call it a lot of larger districts have several positions in out of the communications officer as an example I think watching Colton Colton has at least two people so there may be a director there may be a coordinator and there may be another classified position so it just kind of berries in terms of the amount of what we did was the research on the just to see what the industry standard is or was because one of the talents that we've been talking about for quite some time is the labor market and being competitive with positions and so I can just say locally the average we found is roughly from about 100 to even up to $140,000 and one of the things that happens in this community is that we always look next door to the west and when you look at this position this specific position is a position that I brought that door and it's really elevated the communication of that district and that salary range is commensurate to them I I think they're specifically is from 99000 to 125000 that and we try to hire someone when other people are hiring at a commensurate rate we won't be able to receive people and the responsibilities of this position is huge and so I'm just going to just briefly go back to the board's priorities but one of the boys priorities and one of the things that aligns to the superintendent goals is to further a climate of open honest two-way communication currently we have been using VMA VMA is a consultant group that has been communication services and I'm not saying anything that's not inaccurate because it's in the contract so the current contract that we have expires December or December 31st that contract was 410.5 months at 165 thousand dollars that's what we've been paying that's what we paid prior to that we were using the Dunlap group and I would have to pull the records to see how much we were paying the Dunlap group but it was definitely commensurate and so when VMA discussed going forward to have an additional contract of their request was for a full year $190,000 so we looked at what the work was with the need wasn't at the bottom line at the end of the day we both even that's why this is coming for it we need to have a person who works in Banning knows our kids knows our students are parents in our community who can communicate in a large-scale just going to look at mr. Garcia one of the concerns that he brought to me a long time ago I don't think that we're doing a good job communicating and what I can say to that is we need to do a much better job communicate so if the board would like to bring that back with additional information that's fine but it is something that I feel only about given what the board priorities are and what we need for our district mr. David I'd at the CSA conference I did attend the workshop which I didn't know mr. Davis was going to be there or Laura and they did discuss the role of this position at a local District of Colton that idea I feel is a good one because we can give our Narrative of Arthur they can highlight all the awesome things that our staff and students are doing and I do believe it can put us out there so communities know who we are and what great things we are doing however I also the concern of the salary range as well in comparison by understand also mr. Davis is talking about the industry standard situation is there a way because there is also concern mr. Anthony Garcia brought out the concerns of not having enough teachers in certain grade levels and long-term Subs I would feel more comfortable if we were able to fill those positions and ensure that there are steps teachers for our students and then are parallel with the disposition of for able to find that funding so that we are meeting the needs of our students in the classroom but then also the needs of our district and its hole would it be appropriate to mr. head of the time in from the physical aspect because one of the things in terms of Recruitment and Retention is getting the word out there which is a Communications vs. don't know if that's something that the board would entertain just left fiscal standpoint can I just say that that join I think it is just a really good job of getting positions out there when do the things that I was researching today so it's on Valley for example very expensive place to live in this position and I would like to be I would like to have a conversation Mission with you at I agree to a certain extent that I would like to also share the concern of the beach gay about us not having our children knowing how one chance at 6 grade one chance at first grade one chance at second grade and I think that's a just say we don't have funding for that is just a big concern for me with this one I was looking giving limited information that I had and I would love to discuss it with you further it's according to the Silicon Valley and I understand that banning is a smaller place in the school is a large amount of of paying jobs are up here in the school district however that said the priority of getting somebody in this position I think Silicon Valley is paying from 42000 to 63000 with no degree and the ability and I do not there are many people that have the ability to read and write and to be to be Express Highland Springs is offering the same position at 21 to $31 per hour depending on the variance with no managerial title I would like to I'm not saying that we don't need something like this I just think that we I think the priorities are more for children and I think we need to look at that and see what we can come up with and I just need a Beres a little more discussion I think it's your session with the physical because I think there is a misunderstanding about being able to afford X respond bta's comments and then how that impacts other positions with the but that's something he actually can talk about it in terms so I think at this time at your discretion whether it's on the V2 or bring it back there for the poor choose Institute I want to add anything or I know that you mentioned this turd the physical aspect is he available good evening can you hear me yes rate in terms of the funding for this type of decision I made his very life DNS we're working with our partners at the County Office of Education is to partially funded from supplemental concentration which is one of the funding sources to accusing improve student outcomes apart of the student achievement is also the connection to to the parents and also to the community therefore I it would be partially funded the most likely from supplemental concentration with minimal impact to the unrestricted general fund I'm in one of the items that I will be presenting on today I do show some of the increases and that particular funding I'm also as there's all their funding resources that we're currently I'm experiencing as far as additional funding and grants are there we can potentially also tap in for the next five years or so so in terms of funding that would be my recommendation for this position also in terms of decisions in the classroom those are slightly different to in terms of the funding guy that those are considered under sea get off my base one thing and then just have a bit of a different approach as to how we staff in the classroom I know we've been engaged with the labor Department's and trying to find a resolution I am also aware that we've added about three teacher decisions into the classroom to help mitigate some of the challenges that we've had with class sizes as a reason as it relates to students coming back from the left lane virtual program into the space and really Cal Brady what would be our classes is moving forward I'm in so with that I'll hand it back to mr. Davis also to see if he has any additional colonies I do have an additional question I missed your hair are you said that part of this is General funding and part of this is spending from other positions is that correct or other places is that I would be there for his always recommended you I do maybe anywhere from 15 to 30% depending on the duties and so the job description was put together to be what would be considered a supplemental position that's not required nor is it part of what is base okay so if we have if we have 30% if I'm understanding you correctly 30% from General funding then could that not be used for a teacher position for 6th grade teaching a teacher position having substitutes in the classroom is very dramatically difficult for children and sixth grade is especially difficult in terms of their growth and stability and I am concerned about their General Welfare eyewear I've concerned about parents that I know that those parents are also concerned about their children and the fact they have Subs at this point I still feel with this position and the amount of money that we're talking about I would still like to have a further discussion as I had tried have earlier I would still like to have a little more discussion on that we're going into the holidays I'd like to have a little more of a discussion and you have the time but that 30% we don't have the funding for 6th grade I don't understand why we wouldn't have the funding for the 6th grade so I agree with Miss Herrera and I don't know about the the first grade I haven't looked at that that the 6th having substitute site I just find unacceptable thank you for those comments I would like to clarify that there's an opportunity to possibly do both and also just wanted to clarify for the more that be it's not that the funding is not available it's the conversations were more along the lines that within the current budget there was a certain allocation of precision and so as we're working on a personal reporting as work. in some of the components I'll be speaking in just a few is that there may be that opportunity even possibly do both but I completely understand your concern and Q just to clarify that I understand is there is a possibility then we can do about this position and additional teachers that we need is that what I'm hearing and then I also understand that with me I met the contract that the prior board approve that was only for two and a half months we were paying a lot of money comparison to this position which expires at the end of this month okay so anybody else have any input on this item I purchased really don't feel that this is a position that is an urgent need right now so I'm personally okay with pushing this another month so Leslie can have more time to do some research and I think it'd be beneficial for us if you would share that information what you find at the next board meeting do I have a motion to push this item possibly is that enough time for our next meeting January may I have may I ask one question before we do that is it possible mr. Herrera and mr. Davis to meet with you on this end and really go over this position very carefully I appreciate that thank you so much okay so is there a motion to push this item to the next board meeting emotion is there a s i s all those in favor to push this item to the next board meeting say I right so we're pushing it forward thank you a item 621 Business Services the first interim financial report for 2020 to 2023 this item is for the board to approve the 2022-23 first interim financial report I would like to invite mr. Herrera to the podium or virtually please share his presentation good evening president Board of Trustees Banning Unified School District leadership team and banning community at lunch today I have the privilege to present to you the 20 22 23 first in our financial report our first one to three are our teammates here in the fiscal service department under the direction of mr. Eddie Ramos and also all the Departments that died come together to help us put together this report and drive some of the priority as you may know this the meeting had there was a change the agenda the attachment to her was not included to the gym though there were some unexpected delays including on both miserable and I have fallen ill and salt so now we're going through the process of covid-19 and so I appreciate everyone's patience here as we're moving along I walked so as the last presentation I said that this has been one of the toughest budget cycle I was hoping that that would be the last time I say that and so today I stand Here virtually or will they said that down and say that that is by far this has been one of the toughest budget cycle to do to the fact that there are multiple components that are beginning to be I'm scared I'm so this is a chart here in illustration of what has been provided in the past I like to always refer to this budget cycle to let us know where we are in the point in time notice that going in car Charles of how bigger roll up into the percent of them is first starting with the adopted budget back in June a month after that there were changes in the enacted budget triggering what would be called a 45 days budget revision adopt point there was some increases in revenues was also increases and expenditures and some changes to the commitment moving forward into the budget cycle was the closing of the books of the 2122 office going to be released or presented to the board in September these three datasets here all rolled into what is considered the first interim the first dinner of accounts and assets looking at this cycle for about 42% of the entire cycle and so I say that just began to really stress the fact as to some of the difficulties in general above that all the other diseases that were faced with right now not only with the national funding I'm also with the way in which we're projecting for future years in the funny not being available meaning that there will be expiration date and the planning is critical when we are with one-time funding are the projections are based on a set of assumptions and proof set of a such as I should say which included updated enrollment attendance Staffing and also a true beginning balance mean back in June are we heading estimated balance we close the book report of the amount of the actress in September now we have a fresh look at our budget the reporting play expenditures for October 31st and includes projections for the current fiscal year and two subsequent fiscal year 22 23 24 25 as well in a reports are the only two reports I refile require self-certification I'm happier now that the district will be filing A+ certification indicating that it will be meeting its Financial Obligations for the current fiscal and 250 current fiscal year the report needs to be approved by the board at your teeth with Krusteaz on or before December 15th now hand it over to mr. Ramos to go ahead and and I'll explain some of her friends as well good evening board president anguiano board clerk Troutman superintendent Davis and banning community so let's look at our historical current and projected enrollment Banning Unified School District on the left hand side you'll see the column where the Banning unified enrollment was during the 1819 school year so our enrollment was pretty high at 4613 know as the columns move to the right you'll notice that the enrollment started to decline and then we get into covid-19 the pandemic hit and then our enrollment completely drops now last last school year the 2122 school year we started to increase our enrollment a little bit but we're kind of staying relatively flat no it is projected to we're projected to increase in enrollment for the 2324 school year as well as the 2425 school you know the increasing Trend in the 2425 school year is approximately 1/46 students so let's go ahead and take a look at the next light which is going to review our local control funding formula enrollment and Ada so for the current year you'll see the 22 23 we have our enrollment of 4395 and as you move on to the columns to the right you can see our projected enrollment number our enrollment numbers the next row below shows our average daily attendance know the difference between the enrollment and the average daily attendance is the enrollment is the amount of students that have been enrolled the average daily attendance is compiled and shows us what is the average daily attendance rate so we're currently at 91% so our students are attending at approximately 91 percent are a DA for the 22 23 school year is is is projected to be at the second reporting. An enrollment of 3000 989 we're currently funded on a number of 4224 and we also display the end on duplicate his pupil percentage average now the under placated pupil percentage average includes our foster youth are socioeconomically disadvantaged students and English Learners and were right about 92.8% which is a pretty pretty high or supplemental and concentration grants are displayed at the bottom row and it shows our supplemental and concentration Grant is currently 18000618 point six million as we move into the 2024 school year and 24-25 you'll notice that the supplemental and concentration Grant amount increases each of those years and that brings us to the totals row at the bottom so let's go ahead and take a closer look at our revenue and expenditures so far local control funding formula this graph demonstrate how our funding comes in the district we can begin by reviewing the bottom it shows our base funding so that's based on her average daily attendance that's the funds that we get received from the state now moving up towards the middle we get those supplemental grants and concentration grants and those are funding the district to provide those increase services and instruction for the unduplicated pupil count population those are English learners come in Foster youth finally at the top we have some components for home to school transportation and targeted and instructional Improvement block grant so now let's take a closer look get our revenue and expenditures we've compiled we've compiled a summary of our restricted funds as well as unrestricted funds for the general fund on the left hand side you'll see our funding from the local clue send him formula is 62.7 million we're also receiving federal federal dollars in the amount of 11.3 million State funds at 6.7 million and local funds at 4 5 step brings us to Total revenues of 85.3 million below the revenues we have a little break down of the one-time funds that were spending from the unrestricted general fund know our revenues are less than the total expenditures but that is because we have some carry over balances and we're spending down those balances in so currently you're going to see that the our expenditures are greater than revenues but as temporary as we continue to spend down those one-time funds now on the right hand side we have our general fund expenditures the certificated salary are Thirty-One million we have classified salaries at 11.7 and play benefits and we have our largest displayed at the top are largest expenditures books supplies at 13.2 million operations and services at 11.2 million Capital outlay other out go and transfers out so that brings our total expenditures for the 22 23 fiscal year at 91-90 $1000000 so now let's talk a little bit about the major changes so you seen the revenues and the expenses but let's highlight some of the things that are currently going on in the body 7.8 million of those revenues are increased due to the local control funding formula investment the local control funding formula finding methodology and Cat Circle program carry over so we've had some carryover from the prior Year's is coming over into the new year and now we're starting to spend it down 11.8 million is is the increase to the total expenditures and those are those federal and state Cricket fans the carryover amounts that were spending down and we also Incorporated salary and benefit increases 3.5 million is a decree that decrease to the components of the fund balance and that we previously had some assignments in the components of the fund balance for Labor Relations but as those as those materialized to get moved over to expenditures and we remove it from the component unbalanced The Hangover 2 mr. Herrera thank you very much I miss Ramos in great job holding it together I'm going to try to do that please excuse me if I do have to take them earrings I got you some of this figure out before you is the multi-year projection and this is the essence of the report in terms of the fiscal viability of the district I'm looking at the Dallas this year for the 2223 fiscal year we do see that revenues are less than total expenditures creating a net deficit of fact again as mr. Ramos stated the cheating cleaner opposite effect is created because of the one-time dollars that are being spent without the recognition of Revenue also are we going to detail some of the assignments as to how the mechanism of assignments and components of the fund balance commitment are shifted from what what is under the bottom line true then the top line of expenditure all that to say that for the current fiscal year as its prime projection are reserved economic uncertainties is 7.1 million dollars resulting in a 7.86% reserve for economic uncertainty a little bit more deeper into those figures in terms of those percentage play it to some of the changes in the law of having to meet a 10% cow are the future years there is a surplus on within the actual combined general fund of about over half a million for 20 through 24 and a little bit under half a minute for 24 25 notice however that the that the got the reserve for economic attorney Dusty are resulting in a decrease in the percentage to 5.65% of the refund but she's with the resources and what accounts for this decrease is maintaining commitments cost and again I haven't people that digs deeper into this matter and we have the same effect into the 24 25 and so the takeaway here from a multi-year projectors is that the district is fighting A+ certification there are some interesting off factors here that make our financials look different from what we would see in the past the additional funding and and that is one time and nature has created quite a bit of a challenge here at we're explaining some of these figures and determining that in fact that these are not structural deficit they are just really the effect of the recognition of revenues and one year versus the recognitions of expenditures and in subsequent year furthermore going into the budget reserves in an age of transparency is to continue to monitor some of the impacts of the components of on batteries as a relates to reserve install in 22 23 if we go straight down to the first dark green roll there we see the same figure of 7.86% this represent reserved for economic uncertainty divided by total expenditure of 91 billion dollars however changes in the law and I required us to account for the reserve in economics find men as a percentage of a total Reserve 9.1 million dollars accounts more 10% plus and minus on routing there and so this helps the district meet is financial obligation of not maintain a reserve larger than 10% of the effect of again the commitments remaining constant throughout the subsequent years does create a decrease in the reserve for economic uncertainty we would have to look at those commitments and make something terminations and I'll have some more information on those Reserves I'm so now we look at here at the commitments within the components of the fund balance these are essentially student reserves for expenditures that are expected commitments again due to the latest changes for 22 23 in terms of the Reserve cap is that they're only actionable through board resolutions and so if if you may remember back in June and also in July there is a board resolution approving a set of commitments meaning that the district was expecting to have mature like these expenditures in the future we seeing the supplemental carry over from previous years that are dedicated for students that generate or increase and improve services also the container dog conversation and trying to get our Career Technical education off furniture and Equipment as a result of the Performing Arts Center and the city building construction project also the reorganization of the mountain high school office it's something that's been in the works for some time and there there may be some expected expenditures out of the general fund including technology infrastructure Japan also for a textbook adoption possibly for 24 25 also I'm as I was explaining the interesting challenges behind one-time funding is that there may be expenditures that are currently being charged to 110 finding that maybe we are considered for ongoing expenditure effective there may be tested through this commitment here to then purchase that program and not impact the our general fund also I want of the large line items here as for commitment is there any unforeseen operational factors that might come up and this is really how to transition page any shifts any call me or any changes that may impact the funding sources board for district one of the new commitment that was added after June was the student and staff safety safety Improvement measures and if you recall that line item was $750,000 has now been reduced to $650,000 and so the dad is because we now all right amazing a budget of about $100,000 for the year and so that is been reduced from that line item in rock up as an expenditure and then also Universal transition kindergarten and there is a huge investment here by the governor in expanding transitional kindergarten essentially adding a new brand level and so there might be a commitment requirement from the general fund in terms of matching funds in the out years as where we're going into the infrastructure and being able to build the capacity to house eating altogether we do see that there's an increase in those commitments year-over-year from 8.3 up to 7.7 + + 13.5 + 7 factor of these commitments remaining the same as they were originally approved that's created impact of the reserve of jacking off so through discussions are with the budget committee this would be some of the items will be having conversations about and how the district prioritize in order to narrow down our budget furthermore and really work towards our goal the next component as if part of the fund balance or assignments are Simon's are accounted for and the reserve for economic uncertainties as required to 10% cap we continue to recognize unrestricted programs that are considered unrestricted I'm in the general fund also just as miserable as mentioned earlier that's the last reporting period there was a Labor Relations dollar amount of about 1.3 million dollars or so that dollar amount has since moved up as an expenditure and again these assignments and not require board action are there assignments for a certain programs or in the case of attending because Statewide has been an impact you attending is the potential Revenue loss due to covid-19 there has been some impacts historically the district has had his Ada on average daily attendance percentage that about 93% last year the this reported at 84% so there was a singer take a drop in attendance which any place or significant drop in revenue and so this particular line item if it can change it to mitigate some of those challenging with with the frequency in which students attend school moving on into some of the assumptions won't go through all the figures this Mister ROM has already went through most of them I do want to highlight some of the changes and funding and the bunny methodology we are now being funded on a three-year average this is new changes into law as well for 2324 we would also be benefiting from the three-year average and moving into 2420 5D funny methodology would change them to current year and so that the it it has shifted to which dust I posted set of challenges in order to determine what would be the best option for district other significant change from the adopted budget in June I'm even leading up to the 45-day revised and trailer bills through a B18 1181 is that there's been changes to the L cff investment also known as The increased to the bank and so I just want to highlight here at this I'd rather that this is not a true Cola 13.26% is a nation of the statutory Cola 6.56 to the base of 16.7 Cola for future years in Dustin come down just a big from the six and a half in the current year about 5 + + + 5.38 + + 4.2 + 30 are out there's some speculation I'm through various are reports that there will be a cola higher than the 5% more about 8% or so however though figures don't get finalized until April I'm in April all six economic factors are collected a point the governor makes a recommendation of a lot with the Legislative Office Department in various others agencies to determine on the final Cola and the last item here and even though are the projections do show a flat percentage is the cost or pension plans for both certificated in class fighting Floyd 19.10% Foresters is a certificated staff and 25.37% goes down to 24.64% for classified number and so are some of the challenges that we're experiencing now in the current investment Market seeing that the S&P has gone down to graduation about 16% near today does impact pension plans because pension plans are generating revenues through investment to pay for those that are currently retired today and so with this change in the investment Market it is anticipated that future year there will be a significant increase to the employer The District in order to employ the same employee and just as an example because I'm right now we're actually the towing if you will there's been in the last 3 years an increase of almost a million dollars and pension cost to the district and also years past there's been a commitment by the governor to buy down or subsidized these cost for district but has was not introduced in the crane budget and last but not least is it can principal silver price index which is the cost of doing business and and here we do see it's like significant decrease in 23 24 however because there's an expected increase in a cola the cpi-m would typically increase as well some of the second some of the second interview considerations would definitely be to evaluate the fund balance commitments also bring in some of these new grants that are currently not in the budget it's in regarding recovery much as a block grant estimated at $800 also the Arts music and instructional materials discretion about 2.4 million dollars voters I'll pass proposition 28 this last November and for the Arts and Music K-12 Educational Funding this will be ongoing funding outside the proposition 98 which is proposition for funding for schools at $845,000 giving School autonomy as to how they want to prioritize their Arts and Music program also the expanded learning opportunities program known as a vacation just for 22 23 is a $500 and last Home Depot Transportation has been an increase this really been a shift and funny which would then determine an increased estimated at home was $1000000 for a little bit over many more drug in the interim report in January the governor is going to release its proposed to his proposed budget for the 23 23 24 fiscal year also in January last year our report will be presented to the board and provide you some of their opinions and I'll get you turn on and with the development and revision of the following plan an excuse the acronym here are they local accountability plan on El Cap the plan is to bring back an update in the next month before going into what is known as for El Cap season in the spring also relief funding and this is really out of the American Rescue plan we have sr3d Elementary secondary emergency and I forgot what the other Esther for just a second you're so I apologize for that also allowed the expanded learning opportunity program hold to school transportation art music and the recovery bad and all that you say that there is a lot of planning that is currently going on there's a lot of power the station that we have to work through there's opportunities here to really take advantage of some of these findings and build some some great programs for a district I will say though and I'll say this I went to Grand and salt is that bunch of the funny receiving today is one-time funding and we have to be very mindful as to how we prioritize our funding and how we develop programs so that they could be sustainable for the years to come with that said Thank you very how far is time and attention now is the opportunity to answer any question I had 14 on page 11 if you could pull that one more time please is it applied you referring to Chapman and yes sorry I can't see the page in the corner Charlotte again there was that one so first off I think I want to start with thank you for including the safety in there cuz I that was very important and close to my heart and I really appreciate you incorporating. and I'm so my question was how are we determining the expenditures like from 2223 Sydney from 20 to 23 to 23 24 on the on first day of operational mitigating factors that cuz there's I mean it more than doubles in those two years so I'm curious how we determine when it's unforeseeable it's it's I don't oh and thank you for the question about men by their these are the Commandments that were proved back in June with some minor adjustments at the 45-day revision adapt wind chime was a abandoned city react if you will in terms of the reserves for economic uncertainties and I think it's best if you don't mind if I go back one more slide and demonstrate the complexity and mechanics are behind the calculation and having to meet a 10% maximum Reserve cap on 42223 I'm in so in Prior reporting. we had a 10% Reserve all across the board based upon what side of assumptions now that we are bringing in our our carryovers were bringing in some updated factors of what it is so it creates this effect we are meeting the 10% requirement Beyond 2223 and to ask you a question this particular line items here was anticipation that there might be some concerns and turn of the economic downturn in 2320 for that may require for district to go ahead and supplement from other resources some potential decrease in revenue and so I say that and it really opened up a whole other conversation that we can really 4 hours and hours about the state of the economy and so at this point I'm there is no recession inside pointing to Economist however it's being a coin has a slow down and so this load I could definitely impact school district also one less Point going back to the comment about the investment market and the stock market is that the state of California is heavily relying on personal ink tax which is directly linked to investment and so a downturn in the market a potentially impact full funding overnight and so this is one of the mitigating factors here I'm scuse me this is a line item to mitigate any of those factors that we may encounter in this year's I hope that answer your question it does thank you very much Mr Herrera I do have one question and this is more for clarification for myself on the death certificate it steps and the classified steps as certificated steps are at 2% pull that one up please and the side are at yes are at 5% can you explain that the columns are absolutely 32% cost here is a natural cost per to District when our certificates City staff receives more years of experience and so the salary schedules are design that I asked additional years in education as you have that experience you you get a step increase in so there's a salary increase also each year we we go through a process of collecting educational certificates on from our teaching staff that allow them to go from one column of the salary schedule to the next column due to education ultimately increasing on that salary and so I'll for classified employees the reason why is a 5% salary increase year-over-year is because in 2021 are the classified union membership of the district and negotiated a restructuring of the salary schedule in order to be repetitive in the labor market and what Act created for the next four years or so it's an automatic increase of 5% for all classified employees and so naturally we have to account for these steps Surah qalam he places in their case of classified employees in our budget projection okay thank you very much are there any other questions from the boy I think I missed her do we have a motion and a second to improve the 20 22 23 first interim financial report I make a motion to approve there s i s all right though I have a motion by Leslie Nevada CS by Miss Laura Troutman all those in favor play Stay I I and the motion passed I

to know what this is the h e r o estate attorney thank you any question I do understand this is where is Troutman was part of the Safety Committee Alan I understand that there were two different programs correct and you just highlight why we pick our zero to our community is aware of the background good evening so we we were betting our zero and navigate 360 as our safety vendors to come in and help us do an overhaul of our safety programs and protocols district-wide from District all the way down to the school sites to help us out with Comprehensive safe school plans as well as online training for teachers students and even board members we chose excuse me our zero because one there are other districts around us that are utilizing it as well which will allow us to get alert when things are happening in our area as well as there's a wealth of information that they provide for the district in way of communication on social media and to be able to put out to our communities in the event of an emergency and there's there's a ton of other things that we discussed as a committee with Miss Troutman our labor Partners as well as community members and just felt this was a better program for our district to make sure that sites where we're safe mr. Baker are are these alerts also on phones it will it will also go out to their phones all of our employees will also be able to on their phone and device access all of our safety plans all of our protocols on that way it's not one of those on reports that is submitted and just sits on a desk in their classrooms and offices because you mentioned social media and I know that some parents I'm just wondering if they have access to this to parents up if they're similar to a problem that they will be alerted they won't have all of the access. the staff will absolutely it will be pushed out via social media email blast all of it in a text message social media is going to get put out there and there's templates for us to access and have communications re-tear fingertips when an emergency happens it's not all of us now trying to come up with a mess to put out there already templates in place that we can just make our own and send out in a quick blast in the event of any emergency and more importantly the language that will be used across the district as an example right now one of the common things that we do is locked out sometimes things are not like and sometimes their shelter-in-place air is holding stand and holes so it creates I think they use it in San Jacinto us so it creates this common language that the teachers the staff and parents know because we want to have the students when they go home to talk about if this happens this is what we do and so they will train us to get to that point okay thank you thank you clarification thank you wake up before you walk away is this with the software as well like for the visitors that come on campus or is that is separate them that we're going to be utilizing which I was going save for the committee updates because we're actually unveiling that as we come back all of his soft software and Hardware has been installed at the sites for a new visitor management system and we are going to be provide training to office staff and District administration on Friday so when we come back from winter break we will be utilizing navigate 360 as our visitor management system to be able to check-in and check-out our visitors thank you mr.
