[00:35:03]
APPROVED.OUR DISCUSSION IN THE ACTION AGENDA,
[15. DISCUSSION/ACTION AGENDA]
SUPERINTENDENT RECEIVED THE FIRST READING OF OUR BOARD POLICIES.>> WE DO HAVE A FIRST READ TONIGHT, AND JUST WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE OR JUST NOTE OF A CHANGE THAT'S COMING, 6,146.1 IS GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS.
WE'VE GOT TWO CHANGES WE NEED TO MAKE ON PAGES 190 AND 191.
WE JUST NEED THIS VERSION TO REFLECT OUR CURRENT POLICY.
>> SERVICES, CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE DISTRICT'S 2024, 2025 LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN, THE LCAP.
PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN AT 6:36 P.M.
TONIGHT I'M HERE TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR NEW LCAP.
THE LCAP IS OUR LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN.
IT'S A THREE YEAR DOCUMENT THAT OFFICIALLY DEFINES THE DISTRICT'S GOALS AND PRIORITIES.
IT'S BEGINNING OF OUR NEW LCAP AND THE SUN SETTING OF OUR PREVIOUS LCAP.
THAT LCAP SUN SETS OFFICIALLY ON JUNE 30TH AND THEN THIS NEW LCAP WILL PRESIDE.
QUICKLY, AS A PART OF THE LCAP IS ALWAYS A DOCUMENT CALLED THE BOP, THE BUDGET OVERVIEW FOR PARENTS, AND A REMINDER THAT LCFF LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA FUNDS COME INTO APPORTIONMENTS.
THE BASE ALLOCATION AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL, THE BASE OBVIOUSLY IS THE LARGER APPORTIONMENT, AND THAT CAN BE USED ON SERVICES FOR ALL STUDENTS.
SUPPLEMENTAL IS FUNDS THAT COME FOR USE FOR TARGETED STUDENTS.
THERE ARE SOME CHANGES THE STATE ALWAYS LIKES TO MAKE SOME CHANGES EVERY YEAR OR EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS.
THE LCAP DOES HAVE SOME NEW CHANGES TO THE TEMPLATE.
THE BIGGEST CHANGE IS THAT DISTRICTS MUCH NOW ADDRESS ALL ACHIEVEMENT GAPS FOR STUDENT GROUPS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE LOWEST PERFORMANCE BAND ON THE CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD.
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT AROUND THAT BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THE DASHBOARD MEASURES ABSOLUTE NUMBERS AND RATES OF CHANGE.
FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE LOWEST AREA FOR SUBGROUPS FOR CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM.
TWO SCHOOLS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED FOR SCHOOL WIDE FOR CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM.
HOWEVER, FOR EXAMPLE, OAK MESA, THEIR SCHOOL CHRONIC ABSENTEE RATE IS 11%, WHICH IS BELOW THE DISTRICT RATE.
BUT BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD MEASURES CHANGE AND THERE'S INCREASED EVER SO SLIGHTLY, THEY ENDED UP IN THAT AREA WHERE NOW BASED ON THE NEW TEMPLATE, WE'LL HAVE TO CREATE AN ACTION STEP FOR THEM.
JUST A LITTLE CONTEXT AROUND HOW THAT WORKS.
THEN SECONDLY, A UNIQUE GOAL IS ADDED FOR ANY SCHOOL THAT WILL RECEIVE EQUITY MULTIPLIER FUNDING.
WE DO HAVE A SCHOOL THAT IS IN THAT AREA, AND I'LL EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE LATER WHEN WE GET TO THAT.
IF YOU REMEMBER, OUR OLD LCAP HAD SIX GOALS.
IN WORKING WITH LA COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND THE NEW TEMPLATE, THEY REALLY RECOMMENDED THAT WE FOLD THOSE INTO FEWER GOALS WITH THE ADDITION OF THE EQUITY MULTIPLIER GOAL.
WE LOOKED AT THE GOALS AND WE WORKED WITH OUR PARTNERS AND WE DID SOME NATURAL COMBINING OF GOALS.
IN OUR OLD LCA GOALS ONE AND GOALS 2, SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS STUDENT PERFORMANCE, BUT GOAL 1 WAS REALLY HIGH QUALITY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND SUPPORTING THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS.
THEN GOAL 2 WAS THE SAME FOR TARGETED STUDENTS.
WE COMBINE THOSE BOTH AND CREATED ONE GOAL ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE RIGHT, WHICH ADDRESSES CREATING HIGH QUALITY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS.
THEN SPECIFICALLY FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE IDENTIFIED AS EO, STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES WHO ARE SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, STUDENTS IN FOSTER CARE, AND STUDENTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.
THEN WE TOOK GOALS 3 AND GOAL 6 WHICH ARE REALLY ABOUT BASIC CONDITIONS OF LEARNING.
GOAL 3 TALKS ABOUT HAVING ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS AND HIRING THE BEST STAFF AND HAVING INSTRUCTION ALIGNED TO THE STANDARDS.
[00:40:03]
THEN GOAL 6 TALKS ABOUT MORE ABOUT LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, HAVING TECHNOLOGY RICH LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, RETAINING HIGH QUALITY STAFF AND HAVING WELL MAINTAINED SCHOOL FACILITIES.WE ROLLED THOSE INTO OUR GOAL 2, WHICH NOW ARE AN ALL ENCOMPASSING ON THAT BASIC CONDITIONS OF LEARNING THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH WELL PREPARED STAFF, HIGH QUALITY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, EXCELLENT MATERIALS, AND CLEAN AND SAFE FACILITIES.
>> THEN WE TOOK GOALS 4 AND 5.
THOSE WERE THE TWO GOALS AROUND ENGAGEMENT, IF YOU REMEMBER, WHERE WE RELY HEAVILY ON SURVEYS.
ONE REALLY WHERE WE SURVEY OUR STUDENTS AROUND THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT CONNECTEDNESS, EMOTIONAL WELLNESS, EMPOWERMENT, AND THEN ONE WHERE WE SURVEY OUR PARTNERS ABOUT THEIR CONNECTION TO BONITA UNIFIED IN OUR SERVICES TO STUDENTS.
WE MADE THOSE INTO GOAL 3, WHICH IS A GOAL AROUND SCHOOL CONNECTEDNESS, SOCIAL EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING AND ENGAGEMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS.
THEN FINALLY, I SPOKE BRIEFLY ABOUT THE REQUIRED NEW GOAL, WHICH IS FOR EQUITY MULTIPLIER.
VISTA, SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE HAVE VISTA SCHOOL.
IT'S OUR SCHOOL FOR 10TH GRADERS HOUSED AT CHAPARRAL HIGH SCHOOL, AND IT'S ELIGIBLE FOR EQUITY MULTIPLIER BECAUSE IT MEETS BOTH CONDITIONS.
THE CONDITIONS OF THAT ARE A NON-STABILITY RATE OF GREATER THAN 25% AND HIGHER THAN 70% SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENT POPULATION.
VISTA IS A CREDIT RECOVERY SCHOOL EXCLUSIVELY FOR 10TH GRADERS, SO IT HAS A 100% MOBILITY RATE, OR NON-STABILITY RATE SO IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO MEET THAT CRITERIA.
THEN IT MET THE SECOND CRITERIA OF A 70% OR HIGHER SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENT POPULATION.
OUR GOAL FOR EQUITY MULTIPLIER IS SPECIFIC TO VISTA OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL.
IT'S ABOUT SUPPORTING THOSE 10TH GRADE STUDENTS TO GIVE THEM INTENSIVE INTERVENTION TO RECOUP HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT THROUGH OUR HIGH QUALITY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND CREATING SYSTEMS WHERE THEY CAN RECOVER A MINIMUM OF SIX CREDITS PER SBUS.
THOSE ARE THE STANDARDS BASED UNITS OF STUDIES THAT STUDENTS DO IN VISTA SO THAT THEY CAN EVENTUALLY MATRICULATE BACK TO THE COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOLS.
I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE KEY ACTIONS AROUND EACH OF THESE GOALS.
IF YOU REMEMBER GOAL 1 WAS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS AND THEN FOR OUR TARGETED STUDENTS.
THE FIRST BULLET THERE IS REALLY THAT ESSENTIAL STANDARD CYCLE THAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE BONITA UNIFIED CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION PROGRAM.
THAT'S IDENTIFYING THE ESSENTIAL STANDARDS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TEACH, FIGURING OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MEASURE MASTERY, DOING THAT MEASUREMENT OF MASTERY, ANALYZING THAT DATA AND THEN RETEACHING OR ACCELERATING WHERE WE NEED TO BE AS A RESULT.
IT'S THAT CYCLE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT BASED AROUND THE STANDARDS, AND THAT IS THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR TEACHING AND LEARNING HERE IN BONITA UNIFIED.
THAT'S WHAT THAT FIRST BULLET TALKS ABOUT.
BULLETS 2 AND 3, I REALLY THINK OF AS HOW WE RESPOND WHEN KIDS NEED SOMETHING MORE THAN OUR CORE ACADEMIC PROGRAM.
BULLET 2 IS REALLY BROADER REACHING THAN BULLET 3.
THAT COULD BE OUR MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT, THINGS WE OFFER IN ADDITION TO THAT PROGRAM, AND THEN BULLET 3 IS REALLY PROGRAMS TARGET THOSE SPECIFIC GROUPS.
IT COULD BE THINGS LIKE AN ADDITIONAL CLASS FOR OUR EL STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY OUR NEW IMMIGRANT POPULATION, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT ARE IN ADDITION TO OUR CORE ACADEMIC PROGRAM.
THEN FINALLY, OUR CTE PROGRAM IN COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS, YOU'VE SEEN A LOT ABOUT ALL THE ROBUST THINGS WE'RE DOING TO SUPPORT CTE.
THEN THIS YEAR BRINGING ON THE MCCGI, THE CALIFORNIA GUIDANCE INITIATIVE SO THAT STUDENTS WILL HAVE REAL TIME ACCESS TO A FOUR YEAR PLAN TO THEIR [INAUDIBLE] STATUS, AND THAT DIRECTLY WE'LL COMMUNICATE WITH THE CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SYSTEMS. OUR KEY ACTIONS IN GOAL 2, THIS IS KIND OF FUNNY, WHEN WE WERE WORKING WITH [INAUDIBLE], THEY REFERRED TO THIS AS TEACHERS, TEXTBOOKS AND TOILETS FOR EVERYBODY.
THOSE ARE THE BASIC CONDITIONS FOR LEARNING, THAT WE HAVE THE BEST STAFF, HIGHLY CREDENTIALED STAFF, THAT OUR TEXTBOOKS ARE STANDARD ALIGNED AND THAT THEY'RE HIGH QUALITY AND UP TO DATE AND THAT OUR FACILITIES ARE SAFE AND WELCOMING.
ENGAGEMENT IS MEASURED ON THE DASHBOARD BY CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM AND SUSPENSION RATES.
WE TARGET THESE THINGS BY OUR ATTENDANCE INCENTIVE.
[00:45:03]
YOU HEARD A LOT, ALL OF OUR SCHOOL SITES WORK REALLY HARD ON BUILDING BACK UP THOSE REALLY GOOD HABITS OF COMING TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY AND HOW IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE IS.SONYA IS GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT TO OUR BUDGET IN HER PRESENTATION A LITTLE BIT LATER.
THEN ADDITIONALLY, ALL OF OUR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS AND THINGS WE DO TO SUPPORT THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF OUR STUDENTS, EXTRACURRICULAR THINGS.
WE SAW LOTS OF GREAT EXAMPLES OF THAT TONIGHT OF ALL THE THINGS WE DO TO PROVIDE RICH AND ROBUST LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS TO IMPROVE THOSE CONNECTIVITY PIECES FOR OUR STUDENTS.
FINALLY, SPECIFICALLY FOR VISTA SCHOOL BECAUSE VISTA ONLY HAS ABOUT 20 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN IT, SO WE ACTUALLY GOT TO INTERVIEW THE STUDENTS AND THE FAMILIES INDIVIDUALLY TO GET THEIR INPUT ON CREATING THIS GOAL.
THE FIRST BULLET REALLY IS ADHERENCE TO THE BONITA UNIFIED INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM, WHICH IS THE ESSENTIAL STANDARDS ALIGNED CURRICULUM, THE CYCLE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AROUND THAT.
BUT ADDITIONALLY FOR VISTA STUDENTS, WE WANT TO ENHANCE THE CREDIT RECOVERY PROGRAM.
THAT'S A REALLY DEEP AND CRITICAL LOOK AT THE SBUSS AND HOW KIDS PERFORM ON THOSE STANDARDS BASED UNITS OF STUDY, WHICH IS HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO RECOVER THEIR CREDITS WITHIN THOSE.
THEN SECONDLY, PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT OF MORE ACCESS TO COURSES THAT AREN'T AVAILABLE BECAUSE VISTA IS SUCH A SMALL SCHOOL WITH ONLY 20 STUDENTS THAT WE CAN EXTEND THAT INTO OUR APEX PROGRAM, WHICH IS A CREDIT RECOVERY PROGRAM THAT WE USE AT ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, SO ALLOWING ACCESS TO OUR VISTA STUDENTS TOO SO THAT THEY CAN RECOUP ADDITIONAL CREDITS IN THERE.
THAT SUMMARIZES OUR NEW LCAP COMING ON BOARD. QUESTIONS.
>> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION PER SE, BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK DONE ON THE LCAP AND I KNOW YOUR TEAM DID A LOT OF WORK ON THAT TOO.
IT'S REALLY HARD TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW ONE AND WOW, I'M SURE THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK.
>> I HAVE THIS QUESTION IN MY MIND AND MAYBE SOMETIME LATER YOU CAN ANSWER THIS FOR ME, BUT HOW MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE A PROGRAM LIKE VISTA? I JUST SEE VISTA AS A REAL, IT'S THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME FOR SOME AT RISK STUDENTS THAT CAN REALLY THEN HELP THEM UP SO THAT WE CAN GET THEM BACK AND ON COURSE TO GRADUATE.
I'M JUST WAS WONDERING IF SOMETIME YOU CAN LET US KNOW ABOUT THAT.
>> YEAH, SURE. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
IT IS AN EARLY INTERVENTION IN HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL, IT'S FOR 11TH AND 12TH GRADERS.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVENE PRIOR TO THAT TO GET KIDS BACK ON TRACK WITH THEIR CREDIT SO THAT THEY CAN GO BACK AND GRADUATE WITH THEIR COHORT ON TIME AND EVERYTHING.
I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT SPECIFICALLY THANK DR. JAYMI ABUSHAM, THE ARCHITECT OF THIS LCAP, PUTTING IT TOGETHER BRILLIANTLY, A COMPLETE RETOOL, MERGING OF THE GOALS, WORKING WITH LAKE COACH FABULOUS AND THANK YOU TO KRIS BONEMAN FOR HELP WITH THE DATA AND ALL THE REST OF THE ED SERVICES TEAM.
THIS IS A BIG LIFT FOR THEM, SO I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. THANK YOU.
>> SORRY, INCHES FROM A CLEAN GET AWAY.
COULD YOU SHARE WITH US JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE TIMELINE.
>> BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT GOES ON THE SHELF, HOW WE USE IT AS A DOCUMENT, HOW IT INFORMS OUR PROCESSES.
FOR THE FOLKS IN THE GALLERY AND THE FOLKS WATCHING AT HOME TONIGHT.
>> IT'S A THREE YEAR DOCUMENT, BUT WE REVIEW IT EVERY YEAR SO YOU'LL SEE ME AGAIN NEXT YEAR REVIEWING THIS LCAP.
IT'S FORMED BY INPUT FROM OUR PARTNER GROUP.
WHEN WE MEET WITH PARENT GROUPS AND DIFFERENT SCHOOL SITE GROUPS AND OUR ASSOCIATIONS, AND SCHOOL SITE COUNCILS, THAT'S WHAT FORMS AND INFORMS THE GOALS IN ADDITION TO SURVEY FEEDBACK WE GET.
THEN THE GOALS IN HERE IN THE ACTION TIPS ARE THE DRIVERS OF OUR WORK.
WHEN WE'RE SAYING WE'RE TARGETING OUR STUDENTS, OR WE'RE TARGETING CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM FOR THESE SUBGROUPS, THEN THAT'S THE GOAL THAT WE'RE CHASING AFTER AND SO THE WORK FOLLOWS THAT.
>> WE MEASURE MANY THINGS IN EDUCATION, INCLUDING YOU KNOW HOW A PLAN LIKE THIS GOES ALONG.
WHERE DOES THAT DATA GET PRESENTED AND WHO SEES IT?
>> ALL THOSE GROUPS THAT I TALKED ABOUT.
I'VE BEEN PRESENTING THIS EXCEPT TO PARENT GROUPS FOR ABOUT THE PAST MONTH.
THE TEMPLATE FOR THIS LCAP WASN'T REALLY RELEASED UNTIL LATE JANUARY, FEBRUARY.
[00:50:03]
THEN WE SPENT THE ENSUING MONTHS GATHERING INPUT, GATHERING DATA AS WE COLLECTED IT AND DEVELOPING THESE GOALS.IT'S BEEN PRESENTED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. APPRECIATE IT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED AT 6:50 PM.
>> BUSINESS SERVICES. CONDUCT THE PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW THE DISTRICT'S 2024/2025 PRELIMINARY BUDGET.
THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN AT 6:51 PM.
>> GOOD EVENING. TONIGHT, I'LL BE PRESENTING THE BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024/'25.
THE FIRST PART OF PREPARING OUR BUDGET IS TO PROJECT HOW WE'LL END THIS CURRENT YEAR, AND WE LOOK AT ALL OF OUR ACCOUNTS TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THEM FIRST INTERIM, SECOND INTERIM, AND SO ESSENTIALLY, WE DO A FULL REVIEW AT THIS POINT.
THE GOAL OF THIS IS TO BETTER PROJECT WHERE WE'RE GOING TO END THIS CURRENT YEAR.
AFTER REVIEWING EVERYTHING, COMPARING IT TO WHAT I LAST PRESENTED AT SECOND INTERIM, ALL OF OUR DECREASES IN OUR BUDGET RELATE TO ABOUT 1.6 MILLION DOLLARS OF AN IMPROVEMENT TO OUR BOTTOM LINE.
THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS. ALTOGETHER, WE'RE PROJECTING OUR TOTAL ENDING FUND BALANCE AT ABOUT 49 MILLION.
THAT IS MADE UP OF THE UNRESTRICTED PORTION COMING IN AT ABOUT 24 MILLION AND THE RESTRICTED PORTION COMING IN AT ABOUT 25 MILLION SO THAT 1.6 IMPROVEMENT IS REFLECTED IN THAT 24 MILLION FOR UNRESTRICTED.
THAT REPRESENTS 15.34% OF OUR TOTAL EXPENDITURES AND FOR CURRENT YEAR, WE ARE WELL ABOVE THE 3% MINIMUM OF THE STATE AND OUR 7% FOR THE DISTRICT FOR CURRENT YEAR.
IN LOOKING AT WHAT WE CALL OUR ESTIMATED ACTUALS, AGAIN, ESTIMATING HOW WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY END THE YEAR WE GO THROUGH A SLEW OF THINGS.
SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE GO THROUGH IS LOOKING AT ANY EXPENDITURES THAT HAVE BEEN BUDGETED, BUT DUE TO TIMING OR A LONGER DURATION IN EXPENDITURES OR GOALS THAT HAVE CHANGED, THEY MAY NOT BE EXPENDED IN THIS YEAR, AND THEREFORE FALL INTO THE FUND BALANCE, OR WE LIKE TO CALL THAT CARRIED OVER.
BUT PROJECTING TODAY'S ENDING FUND BALANCE IS BASICALLY KNOWING WHERE WE'RE STARTING OUT THE YEAR, AND WE NEED TO KNOW THAT AS WE BUILD OUR NEW BUDGET FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
THE BUDGET PROCESS IS VERY DEPENDABLE BY ITS BASIC FRAMEWORK.
THE GOVERNOR RELEASED THE STATE BUDGET BACK IN JANUARY, GAVE US A GLIMPSE OF WHAT HE WAS GOING TO PRESENT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, KNOWING THAT THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE CHANGES, BUT WE TOOK THAT INFORMATION AND WE RAN WITH IT.
WE WENT AHEAD AND SINCE JANUARY, WE STARTED THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING OUR BUDGET FROM SCRATCH.
WE MET WITH SCHOOL SITE ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP, UNION LEADERS, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, INCORPORATING ALWAYS THE PRIORITIES THAT ANN PRESENTED IN OUR LCAP.
WE UPDATED ALL OF OUR ESTIMATES.
IN MAY, THE GOVERNOR GAVE US AN UPDATE OF HIS PROPOSAL AND SO THEN, THEREFORE, WE USE THAT AS OUR OFFICIAL LATEST VERSION OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BASE OUR BUDGET ON.
ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN INSIGHT ON IS WE TIE 80% OF OUR BUDGET DIRECTLY TO THE LCAP SO WE CAN TELL YOU EACH ONE OF OUR LCAP LINES IS TIED TO LITERALLY ACCOUNT STRINGS, AND THEY DO THEIR PIVOTING MAGIC AND WE CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW MUCH WE'VE DEDICATED TO EACH ONE OF OUR GOALS AND ACTIONS.
BUT THAT ALL HAPPENS IN THOSE SIX MONTHS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON THE BUDGET TO BRING US TO TODAY.
AGAIN, I MENTIONED THAT OUR BUDGET IS BASED ON THE LATEST OFFICIAL REVISION FROM THE GOVERNOR.
HE PRESENTED A FUNDED 1.07% COLA WHICH ONE IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN ZERO BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE STARTED OUR PROJECTIONS WITH, SO AT LEAST WE GOT ONE, AND OTHER RISKY ASSUMPTIONS THAT WERE
[00:55:02]
INCLUDED THAT ARE STILL WORKING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE PROCESS.IT SHOULD BE FINALIZED WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
WE'LL FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT'S CHANGED, BUT FOR NOW, WE'RE GOING TO SAY THAT WE BASED OUR BUDGET ON THE MAY REVISED ESTIMATES.
LOOKING AT OUR BUDGET COMPARED TO OUR CURRENT YEAR ESTIMATES WHEN I SAID, OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE IN ONE YEAR IS HOW WILL WE BEGIN THE NEXT YEAR AND SO LOOKING AT HOW OUR BUDGET CAME TOGETHER ORGANICALLY AFTER CAMELING ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE GATHERED, WE'RE LOOKING AT A CHANGE IN FUND BALANCE IN THE TOTAL RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED OF ABOUT 13 MILLION DECREASE IN OUR FUND BALANCE.
LET ME EXPLAIN. WE HAVE THE SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN REVENUES.
THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE MOST OF IT BUT THE BULK OF THAT DECREASE, IT'S ACTUALLY NOT LCFF, BECAUSE IN LCFF, WE SAW A $700,000 INCREASE, BUT THAT'S BEING OVERSHADOWED BY A LOT OF ONE-TIME MONEY THAT WE RECEIVED IN CURRENT YEAR, THAT 150 MILLION YOU SEE THERE IN THAT FIRST COLUMN AND PRIOR, AND ALL OF THAT MONEY NOW LIVES IN OUR FUND BALANCE.
FOR NEXT YEAR, WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING A LOT OF NEW REVENUE AS FAR AS COVID FUNDS.
ALL OF THOSE SPECIAL ONE-TIME FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED IN THE PAST, WE'RE NOT PROJECTING IN OUR CURRENT YEAR.
THAT IS THE BULK OF THE DECREASE IN OUR FUND BALANCE.
FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE US REALLY START SPENDING DOWN THE RESTRICTED PORTION OF OUR FUND BALANCE BUT IT IS BECAUSE IT'S THAT MONEY THAT WE HAVE A VERY STRICT TIMELINE IN ORDER OF WHICH TO SPEND IT IN SO WE'RE NEVER GOING TO LEAVE A DOLLAR UNSPENT IF WE CAN PUT IT TO GOOD USE.
LIKE I SAID, OUR PROJECTED REVENUES ARE ABOUT 139 MILLION.
IT DOES REFLECT THAT SLIGHT INCREASE IN COLA FOR OUR LCFF.
WE ARE BASING OUR LCFF THE ADA BASED ON CURRENT YEAR.
I'LL GO INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL BUT THESE ARE JUST THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE ARE PROJECTING.
REVENUES DON'T INCLUDE THE REVENUE LINE ITEMS THAT WE CAN'T REALLY BUDGET FOR, LET'S SAY FOR DONATIONS, INTEREST, AND ABATEMENTS.
THOSE GET ADDED TO THE BUDGET AS WE RECEIVE THEM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
WHEN YOU COMPARE ESTIMATED ACTUALS TO NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET, THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THAT TIMING DIFFERENCE BECAUSE YOU'RE LOOKING AT SOMETHING AT THE END OF THE YEAR VERSUS BEFORE THE YEAR EVEN BEGINS.
LET'S SEE HERE. LCFF IS STILL MAKING UP THE LARGEST PART OF OUR REVENUE COMING IN AT 82% OF OUR TOTAL RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED REVENUE.
NOW, LCFF, WE HAVE BEEN SEEING A STEADY INCREASE IN OUR PER-PUPIL FUNDING, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS BUT THE ONLY WAY TO MAXIMIZE THAT INCREASE IS BY IMPROVING OUR ADA.
THERE'S A LOT HERE FOR US TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BUT THE GOOD THING IS THAT NOW AND IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, THERE WILL BE THAT STEADY INCREASE BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT OUR ENROLLMENT AND OUR ATTENDANCE IN ORDER TO SEAL THAT DEAL.
IN WHAT YEAR IS THIS '21/'22, WE SAW A SIGNIFICANT DIP, BUT WE HAVE MADE STEADY PROGRESS.
IN STARTING OUT AN ADA INCENTIVE, WE WERE ABLE TO SEE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
WE HOPE TO SURPASS THAT NEXT YEAR.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE MADE IMPROVEMENT.
WE WERE HOPING TO SURPASS OUR HOLD HARMLESS AMOUNT FOR FUNDING, BUT WE WERE A LITTLE SHORT BUT NEXT YEAR, WE'RE ACTUALLY BASING OUR NEXT YEAR'S REVENUE ON CURRENT ADA, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN OUR HOLD HARMLESS WOULD HAVE BEEN, SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOR IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
OUR PROJECTED EXPENDITURES ARE ABOUT 153 MILLION, AND THE USUAL THAT WE ALWAYS INCLUDE HERE IS STEP AND COLUMN, RATE, CHANGES IN PERS, AND THE FACTOR FOR INFLATION.
AS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER YEARS, 82% OF OUR TOTAL EXPENDITURE IS FOR PERSONNEL COSTS, BOTH SALARY AND BENEFITS.
>> WE ARE BUDGETING, LIKE I MENTIONED, THAT 13 MILLION DECREASE OF WHICH THE MOST PART IS RESTRICTED,
[01:00:04]
AND THOSE ARE JUST WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE UNTIL WE SPEND DOWN THAT ONE-TIME MONEY.AS FOR THE SIX MILLION, WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THAT IN FUTURE YEARS.
I'LL DIVE A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THAT LATER.
THE LAST PART OF THE BUDGET COMPONENT IS OUR THREE-YEAR PROJECTIONS.
THE ASSUMPTIONS ARE VERY SIMILAR.
WE ARE PROVIDED WITH THE ESTIMATES FOR COLA FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
LIKE I MENTIONED, WE'RE USING CURRENT YEAR ADA.
WE ARE FUNDED ON THE GRADER OF OUR HOLD HARMLESS, WHICH IS THE AVERAGE OF THE LAST THREE YEARS AND/OR THE GREATER OF CURRENT YEAR OR THE PRIOR YEAR.
FOR NEXT YEAR, BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT IT'LL BE GREATER IN NEXT YEAR, SO WE'LL GET FUNDED ON THAT NEW NUMBER, BUT IF NOT, WE'RE GOING TO BE FUNDED ON THIS YEAR'S, SO WHICH IS STILL HIGHER THAN WHAT THAT HOLD HARMLESS WOULD HAVE BEEN.
AGAIN, FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS OUT, OUR EXPENDITURES INCLUDE STEP AND COLUMN, THE INFLATIONARY FACTOR, AND THE CHANGE IN PERS.
NOW, THE THIRD YEAR OUT, WE DO HAVE TO CONSIDER SOME COST SAVINGS BECAUSE THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO COME ACROSS BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN THOSE ONE-TIME FUNDS THAT WE'VE HAD THAT I MENTIONED, WE'RE SPENDING DOWN, THAT CERTAIN COSTS WE'VE NOW BROUGHT THEM OVER TO THE GENERAL FUND.
THEY WERE VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THOSE SERVICES THAT WE'VE ADDED.
WE'RE GOING TO FIND WAYS OF BALANCING OUR BUDGET IN THOSE YEARS, OR AT LEAST MAINTAINING THE RESERVE REQUIRED BY THE BOARD.
JUST A SUMMARY OF WHAT WE USED FOR REFERENCE.
FUNDED ADA. YOU'LL SEE THERE THAT WE'RE FUNDED.
WE MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT ADA, BUT AGAIN, WE'RE FUNDED ON THE GREATER OF THE THREE THAT I MENTIONED.
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE LCFF FUNDING PER PUPIL GOES UP EVERY YEAR, SO IT'S UP TO US TO MAXIMIZE THAT REVENUE GROWTH POTENTIAL.
THE PERCENTAGES THERE THAT REPRESENTS THE PERCENT OF UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE.
THAT THIRD YEAR OUT, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT 7%.
IN ORDER TO GET TO THAT 7%, WE'LL ADDRESS OTHER I DON'T WANT TO SAY CUTS, BUT OTHER COST-SAVING MEASURES THAT WE'LL HAVE TO IMPLEMENT AND IN ORDER TO MEET OUR REQUIREMENT.
WHAT'S NEXT? WE'LL CONTINUE UPDATING OUR BUDGET AND AS WE CLOSE THE YEAR AND MAYBE ENJOY SOME SUMMER DAYS.
WE'LL START THE YEAR, AND OF COURSE, WE'LL START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH OUR COUNTING OF ENROLLMENT AND PUMPING UP WHATEVER ADA INCENTIVE PROGRAM WE COME UP WITH.
LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE NEW TEAM.
ALSO, I WANTED TO GIVE THANKS TO JASMINE EGUS, SHE ISN'T LISTENING, AND THE TEAM, FOR ALL THE WORK AND ALL THE HOURS AND WORKING WITH ED SERVICES ON THE LCAP AND AGAIN, TYING EVERY PENNY, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE A VERY CLOSE ESTIMATE OF OUR ESTIMATED ACTUALS TO YOU SO THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME GREAT PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS. ANY QUESTIONS?
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. ANY DISCUSSION?
>> YEAH. SONYA, JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, MOSTLY BY WAY OF PROCESS, BUT I NOTED WITH INTEREST THAT ON YOUR SLIDE IN YOUR DECK, WHERE YOU WROTE RISKY ASSUMPTIONS, NO DEFERRALS.
CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS?
>> THE GOVERNOR WAS PROPOSING A CREATIVE WAY OF ACCOUNTING WHEN IT COMES TO PROP 98 AND THE CALCULATION THAT WE ARE FUNDED ON.
I FEEL THAT NOT THAT I FEEL THAT.
BUT IN WHAT I'VE READ, IT HAS ITS PROS AND CONS, BUT ESSENTIALLY HE WAS CHANGING THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS UP AT THAT STATE LEVEL.
WE MAY NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
>> THERE'S A THEME HERE, AND THEN JUST BELOW IT, IT READS, RELIES HEAVILY ON ONE TIME'S FUNDS.
YOU'VE DONE A NICE JOB OF EMPHASIZING THE FUNDS THAT ARE GOING TO BE SPENT DOWN.
BUT WHAT DOES THAT DO AT THE END OF THAT CYCLE?
>> WELL, ACTUALLY, THAT WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE STATE'S USING THE ONE-TIME FUND.
HE WAS GOING TO MAKE A WITHDRAWAL OF THE RAINY DAY FUND IN ORDER TO FUND ONGOING COSTS.
IT WAS ACTUALLY HIM USING THE ONE-TIME MONIES.
[01:05:02]
>> THEN LATER ON IN YOUR PRESENTATION, YOU NOTED UNDER PROJECTED EXPENDITURES.
RATE CHANGES IN PERS RETIREMENT.
THOSE INCREASES CONTINUE TO AFFECT OUR GENERAL FUND.
>> LET'S SEE HERE. WHERE IS MY SLIDE?
>> MAYBE A BETTER WAY TO DO IT AS A COMPARISON.
>> LET'S SEE HERE. I JUST TURN TO THE PAGE.
STERS IS STABLE AT 19.10% OF DISTRICT CONTRIBUTION TO THE RETIREMENT PROGRAM.
BUT FOR '24/'25, IT'S A FRACTION OF A PERCENTAGE FROM 26.68% THIS YEAR TO 27.05 NEXT YEAR, AND THAT THIRD YEAR OUT UP TO 28%.
IT'S A CONSISTENT INCREASE EACH YEAR.
>> AS WE KNOW, THIS IS THE ONLY MONTH OF OUR CALENDAR YEAR, WHERE WE MEET TWICE.
IT'S BECAUSE THE SECOND MEETING IS WHEN WE WILL BY POLICY PASS OUR BUDGET.
>> WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO WHATEVER WE LEARN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN '24/'25.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE VIGILANT.
WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO THE PARTNERSHIP.
I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERSHIP AND THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR BARGAINING UNITS AND PARTICULARLY YOUR TEAM FOR PUTTING THIS DOCUMENT TOGETHER AND SHEPHERDING US THROUGH THIS PROCESS. THANK YOU.
>> QUICK COMMENT, SONYA, AS WE LOOK AT THE STATE AND FINANCES AND FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS, AND THEN HOW WE HAD THE ONE-TIME MONEY COME IN DURING COVID.
DO YOU THINK FOR THE BOARD, AT LEAST AS WE ARE WATCHING OVER OUR ENDING BALANCE? COULD YOU GET US THE PERCENT OF THE ENDING BALANCE, MAYBE OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 10 YEARS SO WE CAN SEE PRE-COVID, WHAT HAPPENED DURING COVID WITH ALL THAT EXTRA MONEY COMING IN, AND THEN WHERE WE ARE NOW?
>> YOUR DISCUSSION? WELL, THE HEARING IS NOW CLOSED AT 7:07.
GO TEAM. APPROVE EDUCATION PROTECTION ACCOUNT EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR 2024/2025. SONYA, YOU'RE BACKUP.
>> PROPOSITION 30, GENERATED TAX REVENUE DEPOSITED INTO THE STATE ACCOUNT CALLED THE EDUCATION PROTECTION ACT OR EPA.
THIS IS PART OF LCFF, BUT IT IS NOT ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
WE ARE REQUIRED ANNUALLY TO REPORT THAT ALL OF THE 32 MILLION THAT COMES UNDER THIS PROPOSITION HAS BEEN ENTIRELY SPENT ON TEACHER SALARY AND BENEFITS.
>> ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR?
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING CONFIRMING A DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT FOR THE BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT RECREATION IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024, 2025.
PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN AT 7:09 PM. SONIA.
>> OUR RESIDENTS VOTED IN A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT YEARS AGO, GRANTING THE DISTRICT A SPECIAL REVENUE FLOW TO MAINTAIN OUR GREEN SPACES, OUR BALL FIELDS, PLAYGROUNDS, STADIUMS, AND GYMS. THIS RESOLUTION ALLOWS FOR THE RENEWAL AND CONTINUATION OF THIS ASSESSMENT.
>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO STATE THAT ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS RECEIVE A REALLY COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF HOW THE FUNDS ARE BEING USED.
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF PLANNING THAT GOES BEHIND IT AND HOW WE WORK WITH THE CITIES, ETC, AND I JUST APPRECIATE THE PROCESS. THANK YOU.
>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED AT 7:10.
ADOPT RESOLUTION 2024-37, CONFIRMING A DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT FOR THE BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT RECREATION IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024, 2025, PURSUANT TO THE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ACT OF 1972, PART 2 OF DIVISION 15 OF THE CALIFORNIA STREETS AND HIGHWAY CODE AND ARTICLE XII D OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION.
THAT'S A MOUTHFUL. BUT IS THERE A MOTION?
[01:10:01]
>> ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR?
>> IT'S UNANIMOUS AS WELL. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.
[LAUGHTER] CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING CONFIRMING, GIVING NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DEDICATE A UTILITY EASEMENT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON.
PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN AT 7:10. SONIA.
>> THIS IS PART OF THE ELECTRIC BUSES THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET THROUGH A GRANT.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL FOR THE CHARGING STATIONS.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON IS REQUESTING A UTILITY EASEMENT OVER A PORTION OF OUR DISTRICT YARD FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS AS PART OF THEIR CHARGE READY PROGRAM.
THIS WILL ALLOW US TO CHARGE ALL OF OUR ELECTRIC BUSES AND A COUPLE OF OUR NUTRITION SERVICES ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
SO THE HEARING AND THE RESOLUTION OF INTENT ARE A PART OF THE FIRST STEP IN GRANTING THE UTILITY EASEMENT.
IN THE SECOND AND FINAL STEPS, WE'LL BE AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.
>> IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION HERE? PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED AT, COME ON CLOCK, 7:11 PM.
ADOPT RESOLUTION 2024-38, GIVING NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DEDICATE A UTILITY EASEMENT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON.
>> ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> OPPOSED NAY. UNANIMOUS. NEXT ONE.
ADOPT RESOLUTION 2024-39, CASH BORROWING FOR THE TEMPORARY INTERFUND CASH BORROWING FOR THE BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024, 2025. GO FOR IT, SONIA.
>> CALIFORNIA ED CODE PERMITS TEMPORARY TRANSFERS OF CASH BETWEEN DISTRICT FUNDS WITH THE ADOPTION OF THIS RESOLUTION.
WE PRESENT THIS RESOLUTION EVERY YEAR AS A ROUTINE ITEM, BUT WE HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY HAD TO BORROW CASH FROM ANOTHER FUND, BUT WE DO IT AS A SAFEGUARD.
>> ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> OPPOSED NAY. THAT'S UNANIMOUS AS WELL. ONLY ONE MORE IT IS.
APPROVAL OF STREET DEED TO CONVEY A PORTION OF PROPERTY TO THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS TO CONFIRM USE FOR PUBLIC STREET PURPOSES. SONIA.
>> IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE MATURE TREES THAT LINE THE EAST SIDE OF SAN DIMAS CANYON ROAD, SOUTH OF ALLEN AVENUE, THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS WOULD LIKE TO REDESIGN THE SIDEWALK THAT RUNS ALONG THE DISTRICT PROPERTY.
THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS HAS REQUESTED THAT THE DISTRICT GRANT A STREET DEED, WHICH WILL ALLOW THEM TO EXPAND THE PUBLIC STREET TO COVER A PORTION OF THE ALLEN AVENUE ELEMENTARY SITE PROPERTY.
THE SIDEWALK WILL ACTUALLY CURVE AROUND THE TREES IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THEM, SO WE JUST HAVE TO SCOOT THE PROPERTY LINE OVER A BIT TO ALLOW FOR THAT.
BUT THIS PROTECTS BOTH THE CITY AND OUR LIABILITIES.
>> ONE AT A TIME, PLEASE. IS THERE A SECOND?
>> YES. ACTUALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE AERIAL OVERVIEW, IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO VISUALIZE WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
>> I APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS AND THEIR CREATIVITY IN SAVING TREES.
THIS IS A NICE WAY TO DO THAT, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION ON THE FENCE LINE.
>> IS THE FENCE LINE GOING TO MOVE? THE ACTUAL FENCE ITSELF.
>> THE FENCE, YES. THEY WILL REPLACE THE FENCE WITH A WHOLE NEW FENCE ALL ALONG THAT SIDE OF THAT.
>> BECAUSE THEIR TREES TORE UP THE SIDEWALK.
>> THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO PAY FOR THIS.
>> JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SIDEWALK THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU WRITING ME BACK.
REPORTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT. GO FOR IT, GLENN.
[16. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT]
>> WE HAD ANOTHER GREAT YEAR END TO OUR SCHOOL YEAR.
I KNOW YOU EXPECT ME TO START TALKING ABOUT THE SPORTS, BUT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR MATHLETES.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, TWO TEAMS PLACED FIRST IN THE COUNTY.
IT'S AMAZING. OUR CULINARY TEAM PLACED IN THE TOP 10 IN THE NATION AGAIN.
OUR SCORES WERE UP ACROSS ALL OUR TEST AREAS.
AND WE DID HAVE SOME LEAGUE AND CIF CHAMPIONS.
AGAIN, ALMOST EVERY MEETING, WE'VE RECOGNIZED SOME OF THEM.
[01:15:01]
WE HAD OUTSTANDING PROGRAMS IN THE ARTS FROM OUR DRAMA TO OUR MUSIC, TO THE DANCE, VIDEO PROGRAMS, EVERYTHING WAS OUTSTANDING.I WANT TO SAY I HAD MY 60TH AND FINAL GRADUATION AS A BOARD MEMBER ON THURSDAY AT BONITA.
[APPLAUSE] SIXTY TIMES WE SAT UP THERE, AND WHICH TIES TO MY NEXT THING IS, WE HAVE A SHORT MEETING AT THE END OF THE MONTH TO OUR BUDGET, AND NO MEETING IN JULY, SO WHEN WE HAVE OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING IN AUGUST, WE'LL BE RIGHT AT OR NEAR THE DEADLINE TO FILE FOR THE BOARD SEATS IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE NEW MEMBER BECAUSE I WON'T BE HERE.
I'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED TO FILE AND RUN.
BUT FIRST, LEARN ABOUT THE POSITION AND WHAT IT ENTITLES.
ALL THE RESPONSIBILITIES, INVOLVEMENTS, AND TO SOME EXTENT, THE RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITS THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD DOES HAVE PLACED ON THEM BECAUSE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'VE SEEN SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT WE HAD A LOT MORE POWER THAN WE DID, AND IT'S FRUSTRATING NO MATTER WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IF YOU KNOW THE STATE'S GOING TO SHUT YOU DOWN OR TAKE YOUR MONEY AND YOU CAN'T DO IT.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THOSE WHO WANT TO RUN, COME WITH NO AGENDA.
NOT A PERSONAL OR POLITICAL AGENDA.
JUST MAKE YOUR DECISIONS LIKE WE'VE TRIED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS ON, WHATEVER'S BEST FOR THE KIDS.
>> FIRST, I'D LIKE TO THANK MY POLICY BUDDY, KEVIN LEE.
I APPRECIATE YOUR PROFESSIONALISM AND TIMELY RESPONSE TO MY SCRIBBLED NOTES ON OUR POLICY. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I'M ENCOURAGED BY THE INTRODUCTION, SENATOR ARCHULETA, INTRODUCED SENATE BILL 1315, WHICH INTENDS TO CLARIFY AND REDUCE THE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN THE EVER GROWING NUMBER OF REPORTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE STATE.
IT'S THIS SHADOW, IT'S JUST THE ENCUMBRANCE THAT JUST KEEP ON COMING.
I HOPE WE LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT AND IF IT PASSES, GOOD FOR US, GOOD FOR ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO AS A SCHOOL BOARD TO SUPPORT IT WITHIN OUR BOUNDARIES? MATT, SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM AND A LOT OF FOLKS HERE IN THE ROOM THAT DELIVERED A GREAT PRESENTATION ON CTE PATHWAYS AT OUR LATEST ROUND TABLE ON 21ST OF MAY.
CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN TO ALL OF OUR PROMOTING EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS ON THEIR WAY TO HIGH SCHOOL, AS WELL AS OUR THREE VERY IMPRESSIVE 2024 HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASSES.
I WAS ALWAYS SO THRILLED TO BE A PART OF THAT AND WHAT OUR SENIORS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED, AS WELL AS THE PRODUCTION OF THE GRADUATION CEREMONIES THEMSELVES.
EACH ONE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, A LITTLE UNIQUE, BUT EACH OF THEM WERE INSPIRING AND A GREAT DAY TO CELEBRATE. VERY IMPRESSIVE.
PLEASED TO SEE THAT OUR HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER PROGRAMS, THE READING PROGRAMS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS, EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS, AND THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM ARE UP AND OPERATIONAL AND GOING FORWARD.
WE'RE DOING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS, GOOD THINGS.
LOOKING FORWARD TO BUILDING THE SUPPORT WE'LL NEED TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES WE HAVE WITH THE DISTRICT-WIDE CAMPUS INFRASTRUCTURE, TECHNOLOGY, AND FACILITIES, WHICH COULD BE PAID FOR BY A GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND FROM FOUNDATIONS, UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE EVER CHANGING NEEDS OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS LEARNING IN FUTURE.
WE'LL SEE YOU IN TWO WEEKS WHEN WE WILL PASS OUR '24, '25 BUDGET.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OUR DADS, AND WE'LL SEE YOU JULY 4TH IN THE PARADE OVER IN LA VERNE. THANKS.
>> FIRST, I'D LIKE TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR GRADUATES, AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE TEACHERS, STAFF, PARENTS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT HAVE REALLY HELPED OUR KIDS JUST BLOSSOM.
OUR KIDS HAVE HAD GREAT OUTCOMES AND IT REALLY TAKES A VILLAGE.
I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS A PART OF THAT.
TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT JIM SAID REGARDING THE BOND MEASURE OR HOPEFULLY MAYBE ONE DAY A BOND MEASURE.
THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIMITING AGENTS WE HAVE.
I READ AN ARTICLE THAT A LOT OF SCHOOLS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME WITH TRANSITIONING TO TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE ROOM.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS WE CAN DO IF WE HAD THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT, THE RIGHT ROOM.
[01:20:02]
I THINK WE'RE DOING A GOOD JOB OF MAXIMIZING WHAT WE HAVE, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS DO MORE IF WE HAD MORE RESOURCES.THAT SEEMS TO BE THE LIMITING AGENT RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE WRESTLING WITH.
I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH MY NINE-YEAR-OLD.
HE WANTS TO BRING ME BREAKFAST IN BED.
I HAD SOME CONCERNS BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM COOK.
HE WAS ASKING ME HOW TO DO THESE THINGS.
I'M LIKE, OATMEAL WOULD BE GREAT, SON.
I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT VERY SIMPLE FOR HIM.
HE DECIDED HE WANTS TO MAKE ME COFFEE TOO.
I'M THINKING THAT COULD BE A DISASTER.
I'M A LITTLE PICKY ON MY COFFEE, SO I'M JUST LIKE, WE NEED TO GO OVER THIS.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE'S READY FOR A SCIENCE CLASS.
HE NEEDED TO KNOW HOW MUCH COFFEE GROUNDS I LIKE IN THERE? HOW MUCH CINNAMON I LIKE? I LIKE CINNAMON IN MY COFFEE.
THE RIGHT WATER TO COFFEE RATIO.
HE ACTUALLY MADE THIS LITTLE MESSENGER PACKET FULL OF IT, AND HE DID ALL THESE THINGS AND I'M HOPING IT GOES WELL AND I'M HOPING IT GOES WELL FOR ALL THE OTHER DADS OUT THERE BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOUR KIDS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU.
[LAUGHTER] HE'S GREAT. I'M SURE HE'LL BE GREAT.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO TALK ABOUT EQUITY A LITTLE BIT REALLY FAST.
I KNOW WE'VE BEEN HERE A WHILE.
EQUITY IS GIVING PEOPLE WHAT THEY NEED TO ACHIEVE THE RESULTS THEY NEED TO GET.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT GROUPS SOMETIMES AND EVERY GROUP IS ALWAYS WORRIED, AM I GOING TO GET THE RESOURCES I NEED? I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT BONITA DOES A GREAT JOB OF MAKING SURE EACH OF OUR DISCOURSE COMMUNITIES.
THEY DISAGREE BY MAKING SURE EACH OF OUR DISCOURSE COMMUNITIES GETS WHAT THEY NEED FOR SUCCESS, MAKING SURE PARENTS AND FAMILIES GET WHAT THEY NEED SO THEY CAN BETTER SUPPORT THEIR KIDS.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED BECAUSE THAT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO DO WHEN EVERYONE IS OPPOSED TO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES.
NOT EVERYONE, JUST THE VOCAL MINORITY.
THANK YOU AGAIN, JUST FOR KEEPING THE KIDS AND THEIR EDUCATION AND CENTER FOCUS.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, BUT FINALLY, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I GET BROCHURES, AND I READ THEM BECAUSE ACTUALLY THERE'S NOT REALLY GOOD REASON.
I'M NEVER GOING TO USE ANY OF THE CONTRACTORS WHO LEAVE STUFF THERE.
I TRUST YELP MORE THAN THE PAPER I GET.
BUT THIS ONE I ACTUALLY LIKED, AND IT WAS FROM THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF IT, BONITA UNIFIED.
VERY NICE COVER, COLORS ARE NICE.
IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED BY TROJAN.
I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE COLORS.
[LAUGHTER] I JUST WOULD LIKE TO READ GREAT ARTICLES ON SOME OF OUR STUDENTS IN THERE.
I THINK THERE WAS A CENTERPIECE IN HERE ABOUT THE BRAMLERS.
WE HAVE A FAN. [LAUGHTER] YOU COULDN'T SEE IT.
THERE WAS A STUDENT IN THE BACK WING. YEAH, BRAMLERS.
ARE YOU IN THE CULINARY PROGRAM?
>> I WAS THIS YEAR, BUT I'LL ALSO DO AS ADVANCED NEXT YEAR AS WELL.
>> WONDERFUL. YOU ARE EXCELLENT.
THAT'S NOT WHY YOU'RE HERE, THOUGH, RIGHT? [LAUGHTER] JUST CLARIFYING.
HERE'S SOME OF THE ACCOLADES IN HERE, JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T GET THIS MAIL TO YOU.

I'LL ADD JUST A FEW THINGS HERE.
I APPRECIATE THE NEWSLETTER THAT WENT OUT TO BOTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND SHOWING OFF ALL THE WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF OUR DISTRICT STAFF AND STUDENTS.
THANK YOU, VMA FOR THE GREAT JOB YOU DO ON THOSE NEWSLETTERS.
THEN I ALSO WANTED TO THANK FACILITIES FOR ALL THE SETUP THAT THEY DID FOR THE GRADUATIONS.
THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL GRADUATIONS.
[01:25:03]
FOR SOMEONE SENSITIVE TO THE HEAT, THE TALL TREES BEHIND THE PODIUMS WERE REALLY WONDERFUL.THANKS FOR THE EXTRA HELP EVERYONE DID TO HELP ME.
PERSONALLY, RIGHT NOW IN A WHEELCHAIR, GET UP TO THOSE STAGES AND IN AND OUT OF THE STADIUMS, SO IT WAS VERY NICE.
I WISH ALL THE BEST FOR OUR GRADS, IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE THE HIGH NUMBER OF GRADUATES WITH VERY HIGH GPAS AND THE HIGH NUMBER OF GRADS THAT HAD COMPLETED CTE PROGRAMS AND PATHWAY COMPLETIONS.
I'M ALSO ON THE SAN ANTONIO REGIONAL OCCUPATIONAL PROGRAM BOARD.
SORRY. BONITA HAD A LOT OF BRAGGING TO DO AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK.
CONGRATS ANN AND KIM AND VANESSA ON THE MANAGEMENT AND FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO TO PROMOTE THOSE PROGRAMS AND THE TEACHERS THAT ARE INSPIRING OUR STUDENTS TO DO SOME REALLY AMAZING THINGS.
LASTLY, THE SUMMER PROGRAMS ARE BUSY AND GOING, BUT HAVE A NICE SUMMER, EVERYONE, AND PARENTS KEEP YOUR CHILDREN READING, RELAX WITH THE BOOKS, STAY IN THE SHADE.
>> WELL, THAT WAS A LONG YEAR. AS EDUCATORS, I THINK WE ALL FELT THAT YEAR, BUT THEN SEEING EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, EVERY MONTH, WE HAVE KIDS COME UP HERE AND GETTING HONORS OR AWARDS, SPORTS, READING, MATH.
WE DO A LOT OF GREAT THINGS HERE.
THANK YOU, AGAIN, TO EVERYONE WHO PUT YOUR EFFORT INTO IT.
NOT TOO MUCH TO SAY, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
MY SON IS DOING CHEMISTRY DURING SUMMER SCHOOL AT RAMONA, AND IT'S THE SAME DROP-OFF AND PICK UP CARS DOUBLE PARK ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STREET, AND EVEN A DAY OFF FOR THEM.
I SEE SOME NICE AVENUE CUE SHIRTS IN THE BACK THERE.
LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU-ALL.
WELL, NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO AUGUST, BUT WE'LL SEE YOU BACK IN AUGUST AFTER THIS BUDGET MEETING IN TWO WEEKS.
>> AFTER A LONG SUMMER, WE'LL BE READY.
>> A LONG SUMMER, YOU-ALL DESERVES [OVERLAPPING]
>> I JUST SIMPLY WANT TO THANK MY TEAM TONIGHT.
WE SAW A LOT OF THINGS HAPPEN AT THIS BOARD MEETING.
WE OPENED WITH ADMINISTRATORS GETTING HIRED.
THAT'S THE WORK OF KEVIN AND HIS TEAM, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
LOOKS EASY TO PREPARE AND PRESENT THAT DOCUMENT. IT'S NOT.
I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT JAMIE AS WELL AND THE WHOLE TEAM AND THEIR SERVICES FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER.
BUT SOME YEARS ARE EASIER TO DO THE BUDGET THAN OTHERS.
THIS ONE IS NOT AS EASY AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS.
THANK YOU, SONYA AND YOUR TEAM. GOOD WORK.
I WANT TO THANK MARGARET TOO BECAUSE SHE MAKES THE WHOLE THING RUN HOURS AND HOURS TO GET THESE MEETINGS READY.
I'VE GOT A GREAT TEAM. I KNOW IT.
