[11. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT]
[00:02:09]
I ALSO WAS ABLE TO ENJOY THE CROSSTOWN RIVALRY OF SAN DIMAS AND BONITA WITH THE GIRLS VOLLEYBALL AND SO SAN DIMAS HOSTED ALL THREE GAMES. AND THEY ALL THREE OF THEM FRESHMAN, J.V. AND VARSITY. THEY WERE COMPETITIVE MATCHES AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO LEAVE DURING THE VARSITY LEVEL OF PLAY TO GET TO A YOUTH AND FAMILY ACTION COMMITTEE MEETING. BUT JUST YOU KNOW THIS IS WHAT MAKES OUR COMMUNITY GREAT IS THESE TYPES OF COMMUNITY COMPETITION AND I HOPE TO SEE ALL OF YOU AT OUR SMUDGE POT FOOTBALL GAME COMING UP. IT'S JUST THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT.
NOTHING LIKE IT. SO AND SPEAKING OF THE YOUTH AND FAMILY ACTION COMMITTEE MEETING THAT I WENT TO AS A BOARD MEMBER FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT I DO SIT ON THAT EXECUTIVE BOARD AS WELL. IT'S THE CITY OF LA VERNE YOUTH AND FAMILY ACTION COMMITTEE AND THEY USED TO PRODUCE [INAUDIBLE] PIECES TO INFORM PARENTS ON ISSUES THAT MAY BE IMPACTING YOUTH AND NOW THEY'VE EVOLVED TO DO VIDEOS THAT ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SO INSTEAD OF THE POSTCARDS THAT PARENTS RECEIVE ABOUT THINGS THAT THEIR KIDS MAY BE DEALING WITH THEY NOW HAVE THE I GUESS THE PLEASURE TO SEE THIS. SEE THESE VIDEOS THAT THEY PRODUCE ON FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE AND THE MOST RECENT ONE THAT THEY PRODUCED THAT WE WERE ABLE TO VIEW IS ON MENTAL HEALTH AND THE IMPORTANCE OF IT. AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I BRING THAT UP IS WE AS A DISTRICT WE AS TWO COMMUNITIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT WE VALUE THE WHOLE CHILD AND WE SAW THAT IN AN INVESTMENT OF EIGHT MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS TO OFFER AN EVEN MORE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM IN OUR DISTRICT. SO IT WAS GOOD TO SEE OUR CITY PARTNERS IN LA VERNE HIGHLIGHT THE GREAT THINGS THAT THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR PARENTS AND YOUTH IN NEED OF THOSE SERVICES. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. WELL WE DID ENJOY THE REDEDICATION OF THE STADIUM IN MEETING GLENN DAVIS'S FAMILY WAS KIND OF NEAT. AND THE FACT THAT THEY BASICALLY DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THAT STADIUM SO THE HOME SIDE NOW SEATS TWO THOUSAND, THE VISITORS A THOUSAND. AND IT WAS FULL FOR THE FIRST PRE-SEASON GAME IN THE YEAR AND THAT MANY PEOPLE SHOWED UP TO SEE FOR THE REDEDICATION OF THE STADIUM. AND IT WAS REALLY NICE AND WE REALIZED THAT I'LL STEAL ONE OF COACH [INAUDIBLE] LINES THAT WHILE YOU'RE ON THE FIELD OR THE COURT OR THE DIAMOND IT'S BLUE
[00:05:02]
VERSUS GREEN. BUT ANY OTHER TIME IT'S TEAL IN THAT VEIN FOR THE SMUDGE POT AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY HAVE GOTTEN US TEAL SHIRTS THAT WE'LL BE WEARING SO WE REPRESENT BOTH SIDES. [APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN OCCASIONS IT DOES MAKE THE WARDROBE CHOICE MUCH NICER HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE CLOSET AND GO NO I CAN'T WEAR THAT CAN'T WEAR THAT. SO WE'RE GOOD NOW. SO THANK YOU FOR THE SHIRTS. OK. YES. ONE THING THAT I THOUGHT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING THAT WE DO EVERY YEAR IT'S EVERY SUMMER IS MEET WITH OUR PRINCIPALS AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING AND THEY SHARE THEIR PLANS FOR THE COMING YEAR AND THEIR GOALS AND THESE MEETINGS ARE ALWAYS REALLY INFORMATIVE AND IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING TO LEARN WHAT THE FOCUS IS GOING TO BE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL.THAT WAS WE JUST HELD THAT AND WE DO APPRECIATE THE TIME AND WORK OUR PRINCIPALS PUT INTO THAT TO SHARE AND IT GIVES THEY SHARE WITH EACH OTHER TO GIVE SOME GOOD IDEAS. AGAIN IT WAS A REALLY MEANINGFUL NIGHT WITH THAT DEDICATION THE REDEDICATION AT THE BONITA HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM. THE STAFF FOR FROM BONITA REALLY MADE IT A SPECIAL OCCASION FOR THAT GLENN DAVIS FAMILY FOR THE SON AND WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER AND THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY SO SPECIAL JUST HOW THEY WERE THE STARS OF THE NIGHT WHICH I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT MEANT A LOT TO THEM AND WOULD HAVE MEANT A LOT TO GLENN DAVIS TOO. COMING UP NEXT WEEK WE'VE GOT A SPECIAL DAY PUT ASIDE BY THE [INAUDIBLE] CLUB THAT THEY DO EVERY YEAR WITH TARGET. THEY HAVE SOME OF THE KIDS FROM THE DISTRICT AND WITH SOME OF THE MONEY FROM THEIR FUND RAISERS THEY'LL GO FOR THE SPECIAL SHOPPING DAY AND BUY ITEMS FOR THE KIDS. SOME OF THEM ARE KIDS IN THE DISTRICT AND IT IS JUST A REALLY NICE NICE WAY TO MAKE THEM FEEL SPECIAL AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
AND THAT'S THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT FOR TONIGHT. THANKS. OK. HELLO EVERYONE. FIRST I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO START OFF TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING DIANE TALKED ABOUT. WE HAD A MEETING WHERE THE PRINCIPAL SHARED THEIR VISION AND WE HAVE AN AMAZING SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE. WE'RE PERFORMING VERY WELL. AND ONE OF THE REASONS AND THERE'S MANY REASONS FOR IT BUT I THINK OUR PRINCIPLES AND HOW THEY HANDLE MAKING THEIR VISION WAS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE WHAT THEY ENDED UP DOING WITH THEIR GETTING FEEDBACK FROM STAFF THEY GOT FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THEY DEFINED THEIR GOALS AND THEN THEY TRIED TO FIND A SOLUTION. AND I THINK WHEN YOU DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY YOU USUALLY END UP WITH BETTER RESULTS. SO I WAS JUST VERY PLEASED TO SEE THAT PROCESS. I WOULD BE A LITTLE CONCERNED IF EVERY SCHOOL HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THE EXACT SAME SOLUTION WITH DIFFERENT STUDENTS AND OUR PRINCIPALS AND I THINK WISELY DECIDED TO LOOK AT THEIR VERY SPECIFIC NEEDS AND TO FIND SOLUTIONS THERE. AND SO I THINK WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE LEADERSHIP THAT HAS KIND OF LOOKS AT WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS. SO I WAS VERY PLEASED BY THAT. I'M A PARENT IN THIS DISTRICT AND I'VE SEEN SOME WONDERFUL THINGS IN OUR DISTRICT NOT JUST YOU KNOW WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DATA AND THE DATA IS NICE OR LOOK AT THE PROGRAMS FOR PROVIDING LIKE MENTAL HEALTH AND WE'RE DOING SOME REALLY GOOD THINGS FOR OUR KIDS. BUT THIS ONE KIND OF HIT HOME. AND AGAIN EVERY YEAR MY KIDS HAVE BEEN IN THIS DISTRICT.
THERE'S BEEN MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH. THIS WAS ONE FROM LAST YEAR AND I JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS. SO A LOT OF TIMES MY DAUGHTER COMES HOME AND MY SON WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF PAPER EVERY DAY. AND YOU KNOW AFTER A WHILE YOU KNOW THE FIRST FIVE OR 10 WERE VERY SPECIAL. AND AFTER THAT I'M LIKE I'M NOT KEEPING ALL OF IT. AND THEN MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT ALL OF IT WAS STILL SPECIAL BECAUSE SHE HAD MADE IT. SO WHAT I HAVE TO DO THEN IS TO HIDE IT IN MY CAR. WAIT FOR HER TO FORGET SO I CAN THROW AWAY THE WORK, THE ART THAT SHE DID. I KNOW [INAUDIBLE] PARENT I GUESS AND THAT'S I HOPE SHE DOESN'T WATCH THESE VIDEOS BUT SO. SO THE FIRST GRADE TEACHER AND A LOT OF TEACHERS AT EKSTRAND DID THIS THING AND I THOUGHT WAS VERY SPECIAL AND I ACTUALLY ENDED UP KEEPING IT WAS THEY MADE A GIANT SCRAPBOOK OF HER HER WHOLE FIRST GRADE EXPERIENCE. AND WHAT ENDED UP HAPPENING IS YOU CAN GO MONTH BY MONTH AND YOU CAN SEE PICTURES OF HER AND ARTWORK THAT SHE DID. AND I JUST THOUGHT YOU KNOW WE COULD TALK ABOUT ALL THAT DATA BUT IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE THOSE PERSONAL TOUCHES THAT OUR STAFF DO TO MAKE OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT EVEN MORE SPECIAL FOR OUR KIDS. A COUPLE OTHER THINGS I'D LIKE TO KIND OF BRING UP. THE GLENN DAVIS STADIUM THAT HOMECOMING OR NOT HOMECOMING I GUESS HOME OPENER WAS AMAZING. THE STADIUM LOOKS
[00:10:04]
GREAT. I DIDN'T KNOW WE NEEDED MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND SEATS ON THE HOME SIDE BUT IT WAS PACKED AND IT WAS A GREAT GAME. WE HAVE SOME GOOD TALENT THERE. SOME COMMUNITY EVENTS COMING UP ON SEPTEMBER 7TH THE SMUDGE POP GAME. THAT'S BONITA HIGH SCHOOL VERSUS SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY'RE PLAYING AT CITRUS. ON SEPTEMBER 10TH CCV ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY GROUPS OR CHURCH. THEY HAVE THE FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY AND THAT'S JUST PRETTY MUCH TEACHING PEOPLE DON'T SPEND MORE THAN YOU MAKE. YOU KNOW IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES LIKE THAT. SEPTEMBER 16TH ON I THINK THE CONSTITUTION DAY OUR LOCAL MASONIC LODGE IS SUPPORTING THE SCOTTISH [INAUDIBLE] PERFORMING I GUESS A PLAY ON THE DRAFTING AND SIGNING OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE NOT THE DECLARATION, THE DRAFTING AND SIGNING OF OUR CONSTITUTION AND FINALLY OUR CTE FUNDRAISER IS HAPPENING ON SEPTEMBER 28TH AND MY WIFE WENT TO THIS LAST YEAR AND SHE HAD AN AMAZING TIME. SHE HAD SO MUCH OF A GOOD TIME THAT I WAS SCARED. I GUESS TO HAVE A SILENT AUCTION AND YOU GET A CELL PHONE AND YOU CAN BID ON STUFF. MY WIFE AT SOME POINT HAD A BID ON 10 ITEMS WHICH AT FIRST I'M LIKE, OH THAT'S GREAT WE'RE SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY AND THEN I'M LIKE WAIT HOW MUCH ARE YOU SPENDING? SO WE DID HAVE THAT. SHE DIDN'T WIN ALL OF THEM. I WAS VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. BUT THE GIFT BASKETS ARE AMAZING. SO IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY IT'S NOT ONLY A GREAT EVENT BUT ALSO SUPPORTS OUR CTE PROGRAMS AND THEY DO REALLY GOOD WORK FOR OUR KIDS. SO IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO AND YOU NEED TO BUY GIFT BASKETS FOR CHRISTMAS THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. AND IT REALLY IS LIKE THEY HAVE HIGH QUALITY STUFF THERE. SO I APPRECIATED THAT. AND ONE LAST THING. SO I GUESS THAT'S THE SECOND LAST THING. THE CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATORS HAVE CHANGED OUR SEX ED STANDARDS. AND IF YOU'RE CONCERNED OR CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT'S IN THERE THERE IS AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING AT LONE HILL MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT'S MIDDLE SCHOOL ON SEPTEMBER 11TH. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A FIFTH, SEVENTH OR NINTH GRADER YOU CAN SEE THE CURRICULUM AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU. FIRST SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST BOARD MEETING SINCE SCHOOL STARTED.WELCOME BACK TO THE 2019 20 SCHOOL YEAR. EVERYTHING'S OFF TO A RUNNING START. AND THAT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE. BEFORE THAT ON AUGUST 8TH I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND PART OF THE OUTWARD MINDSET SEMINARS THAT WERE HELD AT THE BONITA CENTER FOR THE ARTS FOR I GUESS THAT WAS MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORS AND THAT LEVEL OF SCHOOL EMPLOYEE. I THINK EVENTS LIKE THAT ARE REAL IMPORTANT AND MUCH APPRECIATED BY ALL THAT ATTENDED AS FAR AS GETTING EVERYBODY NOT JUST EXCITED ABOUT WORKING HERE THEY NEED A UNIFIED BUT KIND OF EVERYONE GROWING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AND KEEPING EVERYBODY IN SYNCHRONICITY. SO I WASN'T ABLE TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE THING BUT I HEARD VERY GOOD COMMENTS ABOUT IT FROM PEOPLE SO I'M GLAD WE'RE DOING THINGS LIKE THAT. IT'S ALWAYS ENJOYABLE TO GO TO THE LITTLE BREAKFAST WELCOMING NEW TEACHERS AND EMPLOYEES TO THE DISTRICT. [INAUDIBLE] EKSTRAND EVERY SUMMER A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO SEE HOW EXCITED THE NEW TEACHERS ARE AND THE NEW EMPLOYEES AND THAT'S APPRECIATED DOING THAT. AND ALSO I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE WELCOME BACK EVENT AT THE BONITA CENTER FOR THE ARTS ON AUGUST 15TH JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED AND I GOT THERE A LITTLE BIT LATE SO I HAD TO PARK OUT ON ON THE STREET AND I WAS AMAZED AT HOW LOUD A BUNCH OF TEACHERS AND SUCH CAN BE TALKING BECAUSE I COULD HEAR THEM FROM MY CAR PARKED OUT PARTWAY DOWN TOWARDS LONE HILL. SO THAT TO ME THAT JUST SHOWS THE EXCITEMENT LEVEL WAS VERY HIGH AND A LOT OF TEACHERS AND OTHER EMPLOYEES THERE KNEW HOW TO USE THEIR THEIR OUTDOOR VOICE. SO I THINK THAT KIND OF SET THE TONE FOR ANOTHER EXCITING PRODUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR AT BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT. SO ONE OF THE PILLARS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT CAN ONLY BE AS GOOD AS ITS COMMUNITY PARTNERS. AND YOU KNOW THIS WAS GOING THROUGH THE LIST OF ALL OF THE EVENTS COMING UP AND ALL OF THE SUPPORT THAT WE HAVE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. AND LET ME JUST KIND OF LIST THEM OUT AND JUST HEAR ABOUT THE SUPPORT THAT WE HAVE. SEPTEMBER 6TH WE HAVE A LA VERNE DAY AT THE FAIR WHERE THE FAIR OPENS UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO GO AND SEE EXHIBITS. SEPTEMBER 10TH IS A TARGET SHOPPING DAY WHICH IS THANKS TO THIS [INAUDIBLE]. THEY DONATE BACK TO
[00:15:03]
SCHOOL CLOTHING FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN NEED. OF COURSE WE HAVE A HUGE COMMUNITY EVENT ON SEPTEMBER 14TH FOR OUR SMUDGE POT GAME. WHERE WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CHEERING ON BOTH SAN DIMAS AND BONITA HIGH SCHOOL. AND IT'S REALLY MORE THAN FOOTBALL. IT'S ABOUT COMMUNITY. ON SEPTEMBER 18TH WE HAVE A BOWLING ALLEY WHO SUPPORTS OUR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND WHICH WE HAVE THE SMUDGE POT FOR FOOTBALL AND THEN FOR BOWLING WE HAVE THE SMUDGE PIN, IT BRINGS IN THIS COMPETITION AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 24TH THE PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY PROGRAM WHICH IS HOSTED BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WHERE WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THE CHAMBERS TO BE ABLE TO SEE. AND TODAY WITH US WE HAVE FOOTHILL CREDIT UNION WHO SUPPORTED OUR SCHOOL AT OAK MESA IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SUPPORT THAT COMES INTO THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE A SCHOOL DISTRICT STRENGTH IS REALLY ABOUT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND IT'S ONES THAT WE WILL NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED AND THAT WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR. AND THEN ON THE FOURTH DAY OF SCHOOL WE HAD AN INCIDENT AT LONE HILL AND SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL WHERE OUR STUDENTS HAD A GO IN LOCKDOWN AND WE HAD FIRST RESPONDERS FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT COME IN AND TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF WERE SAFE DURING THE LOCKDOWN. AND WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT THE INCIDENT WAS A PRANK BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT AT THE TIME. AND JUST TO SEE THAT LEVEL OF SUPPORT AND PRIOR TO THAT EVENT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IS A BETTER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR OUR FAMILIES. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE A SHOUT OUT TO KRIS BONEMAN AND BOB [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING TO GET THAT DATA CLEANED UP THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY LAUNCH THAT OUT AND GET A LOT QUICKER INFORMATION OUT TO FAMILIES. BUT YOU CAN JUST TELL BY THE EVENTS AND THE RESPONSE THAT WE HAVE THAT WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SUPPORT THAT COMES IN. AND I KNOW ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD AND BEHALF OF ALL OF OUR STAFF AND STUDENTS IT MAKES US BETTER EACH AND EVERY DAY. SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE JUST THAT CREDIT TO ALL OF THOSE WHO DEDICATE AND RECOGNIZE THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING AND SUPPORT US. OUR FIRST FEATURE PRESENTATION IS RECOGNIZING THE FOOTHILL CREDIT UNION.[12.1. Recognition of Foothill Credit Union]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. [APPLAUSE].[12.2. Recognition of the 2019-2020 Welcome Back Speakers (Part 1 of 2)]
PRESENTATION IS A RECOGNITION OF THE 2019- 2020 WELCOME BACK SPEAKERS. SO THIS YEAR OUR WELCOME BACK, WE DID SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE ASKED FIVE SPEAKERS TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON OUR DISTRICT'S CORE VALUES BUT WE JUST DIDN'T ASK THEM TO SPEAK. WE ASKED THEM TO DO IT IGNITE STYLE. AND SO I MET WITH HIM IN THE SPRING OF 05 AND AT TIME IN SPRING THEY SAID NO PROBLEM. WE GOT THIS. AND SO WHAT IGNITE IS IS IT'S 20 SLIDES AND IT ROTATES EVERY 15 SECONDS WHETHER YOU ARE READY OR NOT.SO YOU CAN'T JUST GET UP THERE AND WING IT AND YOU GET A TOTAL OF FIVE MINUTES. SO THEN WHEN I EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM THEY WERE KIND OF LIKE I THINK I GOT THIS YOU KNOW.
AND SO THEN WHAT WE ENDED UP DOING WAS THEY WENT AND START PRACTICING. AND SO THOSE WHO WERE THERE. WE FINALLY TOOK HIM IN THE BCA AND HERE IN THE BCA IT'S A PHENOMENAL BUILDING. IT'S INTIMIDATING TO BE OR TO GO UP THERE AND SPEAK IN FRONT OF SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY PLUS PEOPLE. AND SO WE KIND OF WALKED THEM THROUGH WHAT IT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE THEY SAID WOW. BUT IT WAS A GREAT JOB. AND SO WHAT I WANT TO KIND OF MENTION HERE IS THEY REALLY EMBODY THE VERY ESSENCE OF OUR CORE VALUES AND THEY DID THAT THROUGH THEIR PERSONAL STORIES PHILOSOPHIES AND THEIR EXPERIENCE. AND SO WHAT I WANT TO DO IS WE HAVE A SHORT VIDEO OF EACH OF THEM OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE THAT DAY. [VIDEO]
[00:26:41]
[APPLAUSE] AND ALTHOUGH THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING FOR OUR OWN DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO KICK OFF AND THE GOAL BEHIND THIS WAS THAT WE WANTED TO EXCITE. WE WANTED TO TEACH AND WE WANTED TO MOTIVATE THE ENTIRE DISTRICT AND THE FIVE OF THESE SPEAKERS DID THAT AND THEY DID IT AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS. I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT ANY OTHER WAY BESIDES JUST TO SAY THESE ARE BIG LEAGUE SPEAKERS WHO REALLY LEFT AN IMPRESSION ON THE DISTRICT AND THE STAFF THAT THEY SERVE. LET ME READ YOU A FEW OF THE QUOTES FROM SEVERAL E-MAILS THAT I RECEIVED THAT DAY I QUOTE, I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW INSPIRATIONAL THE PRESENTATIONS WERE YESTERDAY AT THE BCA. EACH PERSON HAD SUCH A MESSAGE TO SHARE AND DID IT IN SUCH A WONDERFUL MANNER. WHAT A GREAT YEAR TO BEGIN THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. I QUOTE, BETTER THAN EVER. 5 BUSD SPEAKERS WERE HUGELY INSPIRING. WHAT A GREAT START TO THE YEAR. LOVED HEARING FROM THE STAFF AND STUDENTS IN THAT FORMAT.AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON OF THE ACCOLADES THAT THE FIVE OF YOU RECEIVED FOR THAT DAY. AND SO WHAT I WANT TO DO IS INVITE DIANE KOACH TO COME UP HERE AND SO LAST YEAR WE STARTED PRESENTING TO OUR STAFF WHO EMBODY THE CORE VALUES OF EQUITY MASTERY AND A FOCUS ON RESULTS WITH THE DISTRICT'S CHALLENGE COINS AND WHAT I LIKE TO DO IS TO CALL UP YOUR NAME TO COME UP HERE AND DIANE WILL PRESENT YOU WITH YOUR CHALLENGE COIN. BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO JUST STOP THERE BECAUSE AS I HAVE BEEN TOURING SCHOOLS, AS I HAVE BEEN WALKING AROUND. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING ME TEAL IS THE REAL DEAL. AND SO WE ALSO GOT YOU TEAL SHIRTS. NOW FOR MARK AND STEVE. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO WEAR THESE ON SEPTEMBER 14TH. NO. RIGHT. NO. BUT I CAN'T THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH FOR WHAT YOU DID TO INSPIRE THE STAFF OF BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT THIS YEAR. PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT.

BEFORE I START TALKING ABOUT THE WHAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT CALL BORING NUMBERS MAYBE THEY'RE JUST NOT AS INTERESTING AS ALL OF THAT WONDERFUL STUFF WE JUST DID. I THOUGHT I WOULD START WITH JUST A FEW OF OUR TEN THOUSAND REASONS THAT WE HAVE OUR ONE PURPOSE FOR. SO I PUT TOGETHER SOME PICTURES FROM BACK TO SCHOOL SO WE COULD JUST KIND OF LOOK AT SOME CUTE KID PICTURES FOR YOU TO THE NUMBERS. SO STARTING OUT PICTURES OF SOME OF OUR GREAT CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES GETTING OUR SCHOOLS READY FOR SCHOOL. SO THEY WORK ALL SUMMER LONG, GARDENING, DID A LOT OF CLEANING, POWER WASHING, VACUUMING AND CLEANING OF FLOORS WASHING OUR BUSES. SOLD A LOT OF BUS PASSES. THAT'S WHAT THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS. GOT OUR SCHOOLS ALL SPICK AND SPAN. WE HAD A GREAT KICK OFF THAT YOU JUST RECOGNIZED THOSE WONDERFUL SPEAKERS WE HAD AND THEY REALLY WERE TERRIFIC SPEAKERS. THAT WAS JUST A GREAT WAY TO START THE YEAR. AND THEN FINALLY IT WAS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL SO THE SENIORS OF BOTH HIGH SCHOOL START OFF WITH SENIOR SUNRISE. THEY'RE OUT THERE BRIGHT AND EARLY. THIS IS SAN DIMAS GIVING AWAY THEY MUST HAVE A ZILLION DONUTS THERE THAT THEY GAVE AWAY. THE KIDS ARE OUT PLAYING ALL THE SCHOOLS ARE WELCOMING. I WALKED AROUND FIRST DAY I GOT TO MOST OF THE SCHOOLS. I THINK CARL WENT TO ALL SCHOOLS ON THE FIRST DAY. THE KIDS YOU KNOW THEY DROVE RIGHT IN. THIS IS SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL. THEY'RE SINGING THERE WITH JARED GOT TO HEAR HIM SING. WE DO A LOT OF ALFRESCO DINING IN BONITA AND[00:35:03]
I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT. SO CAUGHT THE KIDS AT LUNCH AT A COUPLE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. HERE'S SOME OF OUR ADMINISTRATORS OLD AND NEW. ACTUALLY CAUGHT SOME ADMINISTRATORS PICKING UP TRASH AT SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL WHICH WAS WONDERFUL VERY CLEAN CAMPUS THERE. THIS IS A GROUP OF KIDS THAT'VE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE KINDERGARTEN. NOW THEY'RE IN RAMONA AND BONITA HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR. THIS YOUNG MAN'S FIRST DAY OF HIS LAST YEAR AT OAK MESA. THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT PICTURE, KEVIN TOOK THAT ONE. AND HERE'S SOME MORE KIDS WORKING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. AND THEN OF COURSE CUTE KINDERGARTNERS. THE LITTLE GIRL THERE JUST WANTED TO SHOW ME THAT HER NEW BACKPACK. SHE'S LIKE YOU GOTTA SEE MY BACKPACK. SO REALLY CUTE THERE. AND BONITA HIGH SCHOOL THEY'RE STARTING OFF. AND THEN WE ENDED UP THAT FIRST WEEK AS MANY OF YOU MENTIONED AT OUR NEWLY RENOVATED GLENN DAVIS STADIUM AT BONITA HIGH SCHOOL PICTURE PERFECT EVENING. SO IT'S JUST A GREAT WAY. GREAT FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL. OK NOW. OH AND THAT'S NEW SCHOOL NEW BEGINNINGS. SO IT'S JUST A GREAT FIRST WEEK. AND NOW WE'RE IN THE SECOND WEEK AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BEING OF THE THIRD WEEK TALKING ABOUT UNAUDITED ACTUALS. SO THIS IS OUR FINANCE REPORT FOR THE YEAR.THIS IS OUR REPORT CARD. MOST OF THE YEAR WHEN I'M UP HERE TALKING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUDGET AND ESTIMATES AND THIS IS OUR ACTUAL FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR. SO YOU SEE A BIG REPORT THAT YOU HAVE THERE. THIS IS THE REPORT THAT WE DO TURN INTO THE COUNTY AND STATE AND THIS IS WHAT OUR AUDITORS AUDIT AND MAKE OUR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OUT OF. I PROBABLY DID THAT. THANK YOU. OK SO IT IS A STATE REQUIRED FORMAT. AND THEN WE'VE ALSO GIVEN YOU FOR EACH FUND THE REVENUES EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE FROM BOTH THE CURRENT AND THE PRIOR YEAR. A LOT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN THERE THAT THE STATE COLLECTS THROUGH THIS PROCESS THROUGH THIS REPORT ATTENDANCE CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'RE REPORTING ON THERE. THE GENERAL FUND. WE HAVE MANY DISTRICT FUNDS IN THE DISTRICT. THERE ARE BASIS OF ACCOUNTING IS FUND ACCOUNTING IT'S GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING. SO WE HAVE THE GENERAL FUND WHICH IS THE BIGGEST FUND OF THE DISTRICT THE OPERATING FUND. MOST OF THE TRANSACTION DISTRICTS ARE IN THE OPERATING FUND. THEN WE HAVE OTHER DISTRICT FUNDS AS REQUIRED BY THE STATE.
SO THESE ARE SPECIALIZED FUNDS LIKE THE FOOD SERVICES FUND OR CHILD DEVELOPMENT FUND OR OUR BOND FUND WHICH WE KEEP TO ISOLATE DIFFERENT FUNDING AND EXPENDITURES. WE ALSO BECAUSE IT IS GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING WHICH IS KEPT ON A CURRENT BASIS. WE ALSO KEEP A SCHEDULE OF CAPITAL ASSETS AND WE ALSO HAVE SCHEDULE OF LONG TERM DEBT SO TO SUM UP FOR THE TOTAL GENERAL FUND IN THE CURRENT YEAR WE HAVE REVENUES ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN POINT SEVEN MILLION EXPENDITURES OF ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN POINT NINE. SO NET INCOME OF THREE POINT EIGHT MILLION WITH THE INCOME BALANCE OF THIRTY ONE POINT ONE MILLION. SO AGAIN FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW NET INCOME IN THE TOTAL GENERAL FUND WHICH IS THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO BE HEADING. NOW THIS CHART SHOWS THE TOTAL REVENUES AS A COMPARISON TO THE PRIOR YEAR. OUR LARGEST REVENUE SOURCE IS THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA LCFF THAT IS SEVENTY SEVEN POINT SIX PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL REVENUES IN THE GENERAL FUND. THAT'S A FOUR POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE OVER IN FISCAL 19 OVER FISCAL 18. THAT'S ABOUT A FIVE POINT EIGHT PERCENT INCREASE IN TOTAL LCFF REVENUES. NOW OUR TOTAL PER STUDENT INCREASE IS 7.09 PERCENT WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY HIGHER BUT THAT'S OFFSET BY ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX ADA LOSS. SO THAT'S WHY IT ONLY WENT UP FIVE POINT EIGHT PERCENT. THIS GRAPH SHOWS THE EXPENDITURES 18 TO 19 WE'RE A PEOPLE BUSINESS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LOT. SO TOTAL SALARY AND BENEFITS ARE EIGHTY THREE POINT SEVEN PERCENT AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THE OTHER CATEGORIES THAT WE HAVE THERE.
[00:40:07]
THIS SHOWS THE ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR THE TWO YEARS. THIRTY ONE POINT ONE MILLION TOTAL ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR FISCAL 19 PRIOR YEAR TWENTY SEVEN POINT TWO MILLION. AND OBVIOUSLY THE LARGEST PORTION OF THAT IS THE UNRESTRICTED AND DESIGNATED FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES. SO AGAIN THE TOTAL GENERAL FUND ENDING FUND BALANCE THIRTY ONE POINT ONE MILLION. THE UNDESIGNATED PLUS RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY IS TWENTY ONE POINT ONE MILLION WHICH IS THE EIGHTEEN POINT EIGHT PERCENT OF TOTAL GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES AND THE UNRESTRICTED ANY FUND BALANCE. AS YOU KNOW THE STATE REQUIREMENT IS 3 PERCENT OUR BOARD REQUIREMENT IS 7 PERCENT WE'RE AT EIGHTEEN POINT EIGHT THE PRIOR YEAR WAS SEVENTEEN POINT EIGHT SO ALL OF THOSE TRENDS GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THIS CHART SHOWS WHERE WE LOOK AT WHEN WE CAME TO YOU IN JUNE WITH OUR BUDGET OUR 19/20 BUDGET. WE SAID THIS IS HOW WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO END UP THE YEAR FOR 18 19. SO AT THAT TIME AT OUR ESTIMATE ACTUALS WE THOUGHT OH WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOSS IN THE UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE JUST ABOUT A MILLION A LITTLE LOSS IN THE [INAUDIBLE] FUND BALANCE. SO TOTAL MILLION DOLLAR FUND BALANCE FUND LOSS IN THE GENERAL FUND. WE ACTUALLY CAME IN TO THE GOOD. TWO POINT SIX IN THE UNRESTRICTED FUND ONE POINT THREE MILLION IN THE RESTRICTED FOR A TOTAL OF THREE POINT NINE. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE VARIANCE THERE ALL POSITIVE VARIANCES. AGAIN THAT'S A GOOD TREND WE WANT TO COME IN BETTER THAN WE EXPECTED. AND WHEN WE CAME TO THE ESTIMATED ACTUALS WE THOUGHT YEAH WELL WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO AT LEAST BREAK EVEN. SO WE DID BETTER THAN THAT.AND THIS KIND OF ALSO IS VERY MUCH CONTINUING A TREND OF WHAT WE HAD WHEN I LOOKED BACK AT LAST YEAR. WE WERE ALSO THREE POINT SEVEN TO THE GOOD AND UNRESTRICTED ONE POINT ONE AND THEY RESTRICTED THEM TO TOTAL FOUR POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS BETTER. SO WE'RE TRYING REALLY HARD TO KIND OF TIGHTEN UP OUR BUDGETS AND NOT I MEAN IT'S GOOD TO COME IN BETTER BUT TRIED TO MAKE THEM A LITTLE MORE REASONABLE AND WE'RE STILL COMING IN. VERY GOOD. THE REASONS FOR THAT IS WE DO HAVE A LOT OF POSITIVE IN OUR LOTTERY INTEREST DONATIONS ALL CAME IN OVER BUDGET. ALL OF THOSE ARE SHOWN IN THE OTHER LOCAL REVENUES. SO LOTS OF TIMES WE DON'T REALLY WE DON'T WE DON'T BUDGET THOSE UNTIL WE ACTUALLY RECEIVE THEM. SO WE DID GET A LOT OF REVENUE IN AT YEAR END THE SPECIAL EDUCATION CONTRIBUTION WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THERE CAME IN ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS BETTER. SO THAT WAS GOOD. AS USUAL WE BUDGET TO SPEND ALL OF OUR CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS. WE NEVER SPEND ALL THAT MONEY SO THAT CAME IN BETTER. AND THEN OF COURSE JUST ACROSS ALL PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNTS WE DON'T EVER SPEND EVERY LAST CENT OF OUR BUDGET. SO ALL OF THOSE TOGETHER PUT TOGETHER GIVE US THAT NICE POSITIVE VARIANCE AND OF COURSE WHEN WE HAVE THAT HIGHER THAN EXPECTED ENDING FUND BALANCE THAT DOES PROVIDE US WITH A CUSHION AGAINST ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES HELPS US TO BE ABLE TO PLAN FOR POSSIBLE NEGATIVE ENROLLMENT TRENDS FUTURE CHANGES IN STATE FUNDING OF THE LCFF AND ANY UNEXPECTED OR EMERGENCY EXPENDITURES. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR INDIRECT COSTS. WE DO CHARGE ALL PROGRAMS THE FULL ALLOWABLE INDIRECT COSTS TO PAY BACK TO THE TO THE UNRESTRICTED GENERAL FUND. SO SCHOOL AGED CARE CONTRIBUTED ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR NUTRITION SERVICES IS A HUNDRED FORTY SIX SIX NINETY AND ALL THE OTHER CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS ONE POINT THREE SEVEN SIX MILLION. SO THE TOTAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENERAL FUND ONE JUST UNDER ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION. PRIOR YEAR NUMBER ON THERE WAS ONE POINT EIGHT. AND THE REASON WHY IT'S GONE DOWN IS BECAUSE OUR CATEGORICAL OR OUR INDIRECT COSTS RATE ACTUALLY WENT DOWN A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR. SO THE AMOUNT OF TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND YOU KNOW WE ARE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER 3 PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES INTO OUR ROUTINE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE FUND. SO THE TOTAL ON THAT THIS YEAR WAS THREE POINT ONE FOUR TWO MILLION. SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JUST A FEW OF THE OTHER DISTRICT FUNDS.
AGAIN THESE FUNDS ARE REQUIRED BY OUR STATE GUIDELINES AND OUR STATE ACCOUNTING MANUAL. AND THEY ARE USED TO SEGREGATE REVENUES EXPENDITURES THAT ARE RESTRICTED
[00:45:04]
FOR SPECIFIC USES. THE FIRST FUN I WANTED TO TALKED ABOUT WAS THAT THE CAFETERIA FUND.AGAIN WE HAVE A CAFETERIA FUND THAT WE DO EXPECT TO BE TOTALLY SELF SUPPORTING AND ALSO PAID FULL INDIRECT COSTS AS ALLOWED BY THE STATE TO THE GENERAL FUND WHICH WE DO.
SO THIS IS AGAIN THEY HAVE A POSITIVE TREND ALSO WITH NET INCOME IN THE CAFETERIA FUND FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW AND NICE ENDING FUND BALANCE THERE.
SAME FOR OUR CHILD DEVELOPMENT FUND WHICH IS OUR SCHOOL AGED CARE THEY ALSO HAD A POSITIVE TREND NET INCOME THIS YEAR. THE BOND BUILDING FUND IS A FUND WHERE WE'RE SPENDING DOWN THE LAST OF OUR RECEIPTS FROM OUR CAPITAL FACILITIES BONDS. SO THE REVENUES YOU'RE SEEING IN THERE NOW ARE MOSTLY JUST INTEREST INCOME AND THEN ALSO THAT DONATION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE CITY OF LA VERNE FOR THE STADIUM AND THEN WE'RE JUST EXPANDING DOWN. SO ALL THE EXPENDITURE YOU SEE IN THERE ARE BASICALLY FINISH THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND THE STADIUM. SO BECAUSE WE ARE SPENDING DOWN THOSE FUNDS. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A DECREASE IN FUND BALANCE THE END OF 2019 WE ADD ABOUT 2.5 MILLION WHICH SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO PAY ALL OF OUR BILLS FINISHING OFF THE PROJECTS. CAPITAL FACILITIES FUND IS WHERE WE RECORD OUR DEVELOPER FEES. WE DO VERY WELL WE HAD ANOTHER GOOD YEAR WITH OUR DEVELOPER FEES IN THE PRIOR YEAR WE COLLECTED FOUR HUNDRED NINE MILLION AND IN THIS YEAR WE COLLECTED 413. I MEAN $413,000 SORRY [INAUDIBLE] IN DEVELOPER FEES. YOU SEE THE EXPENDITURES THERE AND AGAIN INCREASED FUND BALANCE. THIS FUND IS REALLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO USE THIS FUND FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES THAT ARE RELATED TO GROWTH IN ENROLLMENT. SO IT'S SOMEWHAT RESTRICTED ON WHAT WE CAN SPEND IT ON BUT IT DOES GIVE US A LITTLE CUSHION FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES THAT WE MIGHT HAVE.
IT'S ONE OF THE FEW PLACES REALLY WHERE WE HAVE MONEY LIKE THAT SINCE WE DON'T HAVE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE FUNDS ANYMORE. AND THIS IS OUR BLENDED COMPONENT UNITS WHICH IS THE RECREATION ASSESSMENT DISTRICT. RAD. YOU CAN SEE THE THE FEES WENT UP A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR AND EXPENDITURES ACTUALLY WENT DOWN. SO WE HAVE A LITTLE CARRYOVER THERE. AND AGAIN ANOTHER PLACE THAT'S A LITTLE SAVINGS ACCOUNT FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE BASICALLY THE GROUNDS THAT WE SHARE WITH OUR CITIES FOR RECREATIONAL FACILITIES. SO NEXT STEPS RIGHT TO SEND THIS UP TO THE COUNTY. WE THEN ARE GOING TO REVIEW AND UPDATE OUR 19-20 BUDGET WE'RE ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT NOW THAT SCHOOL STARTED. WE'VE KIND OF GOT OUR TEACHERS IN PLACE WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AGAIN AND RECALCULATE OUR THREE YEAR PROJECTION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE ENDING BETTER THAN WE THOUGHT. SO IT'S GOING TO MAKE OUR PROJECTION LOOK A LITTLE BETTER. WE DO WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF COUNTING OUR ENROLLMENT. WE ADDED WEEK 2 LAST WEEK. TWO UP WHICH WAS GREAT BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T WANT TO LOSE KIDS. SO WE'LL BE GOING ALSO THROUGH ALL THE EXPENDITURE ACCOUNTS. WE WILL HAVE THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS COME HERE THIS FALL. SO TO GIVE YOU THAT REPORT IN DECEMBER OR JANUARY AND THEN WE'LL ALSO BE WORKING ON OUR FIRST INTERIM REPORT FOR DECEMBER. SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I WANT TO THANK [INAUDIBLE] SHE'S HERE AND ALL HER STAFF FOR THE GREAT WORK THEY DO WE REALLY HAVE A JUST A WONDERFUL PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT TO PUT ALL OF THIS TOGETHER.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
[INAUDIBLE] SHOULD CHANGE THAT SLIDE. YEAH BUT THAT IS IT SO THERE'S VARIOUS MAINTENANCE OF EFFORTS THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP TRACK OF. KNOW.
HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN. SO YOU KNOW I THINK MOST OF THAT WAS RELATED TO THIS BIG
[00:50:02]
DEVELOPMENT RIGHT BACK HERE. YEAH. IT'S COMPARABLE FROM WHAT I'M USED TO WHEN I'VE SEEN IN MY OTHER DISTRICTS. BUT WE CAN WE CAN GET A LITTLE COMPARISON AND LOOK AT OUR COMPARABLE DISTRICTS OF OUR SIZE. SURE. ABSOLUTELY.THE THE BOARD AMOUNT IS A 7 PERCENT. SO WE HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL 4 PERCENT IS IN THE DESIGNATED AMOUNT.
DEFICIT SPENDING FOR THE YEAR. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING OUR BUDGET. SO WE'RE PROBABLY STILL GOING TO SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF A DEFICIT AT FIRST INTERIM BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE WHAT IT WAS. PART OF THE DEAL WITH THAT IS YOU REMEMBER LIKE AT THE VERY END THE STATE WHEN THEY WERE FINALIZING THEIR BUDGET THEY GAVE US SOME EXTRA MONEY FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION. YOU REMEMBER THAT. WE STILL DON'T REALLY HAVE A REALLY GOOD IDEA ON THAT. WHAT WE'RE GETTING OUT OF THAT AND THEN THE PRESCHOOL MONEY ALSO OR HOW THAT'S ALL GOING TO WORK. SO WE NEED TO CRANK THAT IN. SO THAT'S GOING TO HELP THAT DEFICIT THAT WE'RE SHOWING RIGHT NOW. OK. AND THEN ON THE INDIRECT COSTS, SCHOOL AGED CARE. HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY SIX. IS THAT THE FEES THAT PARENTS PAY FOR HAVING THEIR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL AGED CARE? SO THAT WHOLE FUND IS RECORDS ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES IN SCHOOL AGED CARE PROGRAM AND THE INDIRECT COSTS IS WHAT THAT PROGRAM PAYS INTO THE GENERAL FUND. SO IT'S A CALCULATION JUST A PERCENT OF THEIR EXPENDITURES LIKE WE DO FOR OTHER CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS. SO IT'S MEANT TO REIMBURSE THE GENERAL FUND FOR OUR COST AT A DISTRICT LEVEL SUCH AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF THE BOARD AND ALL OF THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENTS AND PURCHASING AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS. AND DOES THAT FULLY PAY. YES. SCHOOL AGED CARE ALWAYS FULLY PAYS THEIR INDIRECT COSTS. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. OK. THOSE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS. IT LOOKS AMAZING. THANK YOU. OH YOU'RE WELCOME. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE UNAUDITED ACTUALS REPORT FOR 2018-2019.
SO MOVED. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. ANY OPPOSED. OKAY. CARL. YEAH. COACH HOW YOU DOING? GOOD.
