I LOVE THIS FIRST. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS. HAPPY HANUKKAH.

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.

THERE'S WONDERFUL FOOD.

WE GET A BREAK.

THERE'S SOME CHALLENGES.

I WAS PUTTING UP THE DECORATIONS AT MY HOUSE AND MY SON, WHO'S FIVE, CAME UP.

HE'S LIKE, DADDY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS, YES.

AND I'M THINKING WE HAVE A MOMENT.

AND THEN I FOUND OUT HE CAME TO INSTRUCT ME.

IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU USE TAPE ON THAT, RIGHT? THAT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA.

IT'S LIKE. I KNOW. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S PART OF THE HOLIDAY FUN.

BUT THIS MONTH HAS BEEN PRETTY FUN FOR ME.

WE HAD CSCA BOARD CONFERENCE, WHICH WAS JUST VERY ENLIGHTENING ON SOME OF THE THINGS HAPPENING IN SOME OF THE LAWS PERTAIN TO BEING ON A GOVERNING BOARD.

SAN DIMAS HAD THEIR PARADE, HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA AND TREE LIGHTING, A WONDERFUL EVENT.

AND I THINK NEXT WEEK ON DECEMBER 14TH, FROM 9 TO 1 P.M.

ON, LA VERNE IS HAVING THEIR WINTER WONDERLAND AT HERITAGE PARK.

ALSO AN AMAZING EVENT.

AND FINALLY, ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, IF THE MORE I'VE GOT TO KNOW THE BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE MORE I REALIZE THIS IS REALLY LIKE A FAMILY.

AND THIS FAMILY HAS HAD SOME JUST A ROUGH YEAR.

THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE GOTTEN CANCER.

THERE'VE BEEN PEOPLE WHO PASSED AWAY.

ONE OF THE ONE OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS, HER NAME.

[00:05:03]

HER NAME IS SHERRY HENRY.

HER SON WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED AND IS RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR LEUKEMIA AND HE'S IN HIS 20S. SO FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, HE'S PRETTY YOUNG.

AND I THINK THERE'S A COMMUNITY EVENT.

IT'S ON JANUARY 5TH FROM 4 TO 8 P.M..

AND JUST TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR HIS TREATMENT.

SO JUST KIND OF WANTED TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THAT.

AND I REALLY DO WISH THEIR FAMILY JUST A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

AND THAT'S ALL I GOT.

THIS PAST WEEK WENT TO A LUNCHEON SPONSORED BY THE INLAND VALLEY NEWSGROUP, WHICH IS A GROUP OF NEWSPAPERS THAT REPRESENT THE AREA FROM SAN DIMAS, LA VERNE TO RIVERSIDE, SAN BERNARDINO. YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE INLAND VALLEY, THEY HAVE AN ANNUAL THING CALLED THE TOP NINE TOP WORKPLACES THAT THEY AWARD VERY NICE LITTLE TROPHIES TO THE TOP WORKPLACES.

BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS IN THE TOP 10 OVERALL OF THE CATEGORY OF MORE THAN 500 EMPLOYEES. AND THAT'S OUT OF 800 ORGANIZATIONS THAT ENTER THIS CONTEST.

THAT'S NOT A CONTEST. IT'S A SURVEY.

AND WHAT THEY DO IS SURVEY ALL THE EMPLOYEES OF THE DISTRICT OR WHATEVER THE COMPANY IS THAT IS ENTERED INTO THIS CONTEST AND YOU'RE PLACING IT BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE ANSWERS THAT EMPLOYEES GIVE.

AND SO VERY COMPLIMENTED THAT THE DISTRICT PLACED SO HIGH IN THE TOP 10.

AND I THINK THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THE KIND OF THE THE MORAL CHARACTER OF EVERYONE INVOLVED, IT WAS NICE TO HAVE THE LUNCH WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR BARGAINING UNITS.

[INAUDIBLE] ROBERTS FROM THE CSCA AND NICOLE GRANT FROM [INAUDIBLE] AND MEMBERS OF THEIR BOARDS. ENJOYED THE DAY WITH US.

AND IT WAS A GOOD CHANCE TO GET TOGETHER AND CONTINUE IMPROVING THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE BOARD AND THE DISTRICT OFFICE PERSONNEL AND THE BARGAINING UNIT LEADERSHIP THAT HELPS CREATE THE ATMOSPHERE WHERE WE ARE ONE OF THE TOP 10 WORKPLACES OUT OF 800 PLACES IN THE AREA. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ONE AND ALL FOR THAT.

AND MY OTHER GIFT TONIGHT WILL BE TO KEEP IT SHORT.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE.

ENJOY THE TIME TOGETHER WITH FAMILY AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE BACK AT SCHOOL AND READY TO ROCK AND ROLL IN JANUARY.

I'M TOO I'M GOING TO TRY TO KEEP IT A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER TONIGHT, BUT THERE'S A FEW THINGS I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE I SAY IN MY SPEECH TONIGHT.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, SINCE THE LAST MEETING, I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING ON THE CAMPUS OF GRACE MILLER AND I SEE PRINCIPAL CARTER HERE, AND I WANT TO THANK HER AND HER STAFF FOR THE INVITATION TO BE A PART OF YOUR MAD SCIENTIST READING NIGHT.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT OF THIS BOOK.

IT'S A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO MY LIBRARY, ZOE AND SASSAFRAS, DRAGONS AND MARSHMALLOWS.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US IN THE DISTRICT SHOULD HAVE OUR VERY OWN THINKING GOGGLES TO HELP US THINK BETTER. AND AGAIN, JUST A WONDERFUL NIGHT OF COMMUNITY, A WONDERFUL NIGHT OF LEARNING. AND THE GREAT THING IS, IS THIS IS HAPPENING ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR CAMPUSES. AND I JUST WANTED TO ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION.

I ENJOYED BEING A PART OF IT AND SEEING IT FIRSTHAND.

SO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND PLEASE SHARE MY THANKS TO YOUR STAFF.

AND THANKS FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

SECONDLY, I WANT TO JUST RECOGNIZE TWO STUDENTS FROM OUR DISTRICT.

I WAS AT THE HOLIDAY PARTY FOR OUR LOCALLY ELECTED ASSEMBLY MEMBER, ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHRIS HOLDEN. AND AT HIS HOLIDAY PARTY, HE RECOGNIZED THIS YEAR'S OR THE 2020 YOUNG LEGISLATORS. AND WE HAVE A STUDENT FROM SAN DIMAS AND A STUDENT FROM BONITA WHO WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THAT PROGRAM THIS YEAR.

THE STUDENT FROM SAN DIMAS WILL BE NICHOLAS [INAUDIBLE] AND THE STUDENT FROM BONITA WILL BE SARAH SANDOVAL.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE TWO STUDENTS FOR PARTICIPATING IN THAT PROGRAM, WHICH ULTIMATELY IT'S A SIX MONTH PROGRAM AND IT CULMINATES INTO A TRIP UP TO SACRAMENTO WHERE

[00:10:07]

SO JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE THOSE TWO STUDENTS AND I'LL BE FOLLOWING THEIR THEIR JOURNEY PERSONALLY.

AND LASTLY, LIKE I SAID, I'LL KEEP THIS SHORT.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK CARL AND KEVIN FOR JOINING THE BOARD AT THE SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION MEETING THIS PAST WEEKEND.

YOU KNOW, LIFELONG LEARNING APPLIES TO US BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL.

AND IT'S GREAT TO GO TO THESE CONFERENCES AND SEE ALL THE GREAT IDEAS.

THEY'RE DANGEROUS FOR A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER TO COME BACK WITH ALL THESE GREAT IDEAS.

I'M SURE. BUT YOU TAKE A FEW DEEP BREATHS AFTERWARDS AND TAKE A STEP BACK AND YOU GET BACK TO THIS GREAT DISTRICT AND YOU'LL SEE THAT WE YOU KNOW, WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT WE'RE DARN CLOSE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT MAKES US SO GREAT ARE THE PEOPLE EVERY DAY IN OUR CLASSROOMS AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE.

AND SO DESPITE ALL OF THE GREAT IDEAS THAT I CAME BACK WITH THAT I'M DANGEROUS NOW WITH, WE ARE DOING A GREAT JOB AND WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT THINGS, YOU KNOW, OUR KEY FOCUS AREAS, EQUITY, MASTERY AND FOCUS ON RESULTS.

I JUST WANT TO SAY TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

IT MAKES OUR INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE JOB AS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THAT MUCH EASIER.

SO THANK YOU. WELL, OUR FALL SPORTS ARE OVER AND WINTER HAS STARTED.

I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE OUR TWO FOOTBALL TEAMS THAT MADE THE PLAYOFFS.

BONITA LOST AN UNFORTUNATE GAME.

IT WAS DAY AFTER THE DEATH OF ONE OF THEIR COACHES AND AFTER A THREE HOUR RIDE TO PALMDALE. BUT THE BRIGHT SIDE IS THE TEAM THAT BEAT THEM RAN EVERYBODY ELSE OUT OF THE DIVISION WHO'S NOW PLAYING FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

SO SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR WHO YOU'RE PLAYING.

SAN DIMA'S HIS TEAM, MADE IT TO THE SEMIFINALS BEFORE THEY LOST.

AND I HAVE TO THINK THAT YOU'RE KIND OF GLAD THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE TRIP TO PALMDALE FOR THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING GAME.

THAT WAS ABOUT THIRTY FIVE DEGREES UP THERE.

SO I HAVE SOME TREMENDOUS NEWS TO SHARE.

IT'S NO LONGER A SECRET BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY CHUCK SPOKE FIRST, THAT'S WHY WE ROTATE THIS.

BUT WE'VE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A TOP WORKPLACE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE.

THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY HONOR, ONE THAT CAN BE SHARED BY EVERYONE ADMINISTRATORS, FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

EXCUSE ME, A LIKE.

SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, WE WE'RE THRILLED BY THE NEWS, BUT NOT THE LEAST BIT SURPRISED. EVERY DAY WE SEE THE ENTHUSIASM, DEDICATION OF OUR FAMILY, OF EMPLOYEES.

EVERY MONTH WE SEE THE UNWAVERING SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY.

IT MOTIVATES US TO WORK THAT MUCH HARDER TO PROVIDE THE DISTRICT EVERYTHING IT NEEDS TO ACHIEVE OUR CORE VALUES OF EQUITY, MASTERY AND FOCUS ON RESULTS.

THIS RECOGNITION WAS THE RESULT OF A SURVEY GIVEN TO ALL BONITA EMPLOYEES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. THE SURVEY THAT ENCOURAGED FEEDBACK OVER 1000 COMMENTS WERE GENERATED DISTRICT WIDE AND I WANT TO SHARE JUST A FEW WITH YOU.

BONITA TRULY CARES ABOUT OUR KIDS AND MAKES DECISIONS BASED ON WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM.

GOOD PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DO GOOD WORK FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

I AM MAKING POSITIVE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

THESE ARE WONDERFUL WORDS TO HEAR.

THE FIELD OF EDUCATION IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED.

IT'S A CHALLENGING JOB THAT REQUIRES PATIENCE AND EMPATHY REQUIRES TEAMWORK, COLLABORATION AND SUPPORT.

EMPLOYEES WHO WORK TOGETHER AND ROOT FOR EACH OTHER TO SUCCEED.

CLEARLY WE SEE THESE WINNING STRATEGIES AT BONITA.

WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF OUR BONITA FAMILY.

THIS IS A WELL-DESERVED HONOR.

PLEASE. THE NEXT CHANCE YOU GET TAKE TIME TO THINK.

A TEACHER, A COUNSELOR, A BUS DRIVER, A CAFETERIA WORKER.

THEY ARE ALL WORKING FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN.

THEY ALL BELONG TO ONE OF THE TOP WORK PLACES IN THE INLAND EMPIRE.

AND JUST TO ECHO THIS MEETING OF THIS TOP WORKPLACE, YOU KNOW, IS IT THE SUPERINTENDENT? THERE'S THERE'S TWO THINGS I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE AS WE LOOK AT THIS DISTRICT AS A WHOLE. AND I KNOW THAT THE BOARD EXPRESSES THE SAME AS WE WANT THIS TO BE A GREAT PLACE FOR OUR 10000 STUDENTS TO COME TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY.

AND WE WANT THIS TO BE A GREAT PLACE FOR ELEVEN HUNDRED EMPLOYEES TO WORK.

THEY GO HAND IN HAND. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR STUDENTS, OUR TEST SCORES HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER. AND THEY'RE NOT ABOUT THE TEST SCORES.

IT'S ABOUT THE FACT THAT EACH TIME WE MOVE THAT NEEDLE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, ANOTHER

[00:15:01]

AND SO THAT'S OUR MARKER THAT WE USE THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE MOVING KIDS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS, WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO.

THEY'RE PREPARED FOR. AND BECAUSE WE KEEP MOVING THAT MARKER FOR THE FIRST TIME BONITA UNIFIED IS IN THE TOP 10 PERCENT OF ALL UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN TEST SCORES.

IT'S A PHENOMENAL ACHIEVEMENT THAT OUR STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS HAVE COLLECTIVELY DONE TOGETHER. AND THEN YOU TURN AND YOU LOOK AT IS THIS A GOOD PLACE TO WORK? THE HIGH TEST SCORES A PRETTY GOOD INDICATOR BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE HIGH TEST SCORES WITH A CULTURE THAT'S SUBPAR.

AND SO YOU LOOK AT THE TOP WORKPLACE AWARD WE'RE AT ELEVEN HUNDRED EMPLOYEES OR SIX HUNDRED PEOPLE FILLED OUT THE SURVEY.

AND THE JUDGE IS NOT THE NEWSPAPER.

THE JUDGE IS THE 600 PEOPLE WHO FILLED OUT THAT SURVEY AND THEIR COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT WORKING IN BONITA UNIFIED AND IN OUR DISTRICT WITH 13 SCHOOL SITES IN EACH SCHOOL SITE HAS A UNIQUE CULTURE.

AND WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON THE FACT THAT EACH SCHOOL SITE HAS A UNIQUE CULTURE AND THAT THEY HAVE A HIGH LEVELS OF AUTONOMY TO SUPPORT STUDENTS AND STAFF ALIKE.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD INDICATION THAT THERE'S A PHENOMENAL CULTURE AT ALL OF OUR 13 SCHOOL SITES AND WITHIN OUR DISTRICT.

MR. LYONS SAID IT BEST.

WE'RE NOT PERFECT AND WE'RE NEVER GOING TO BE PERFECT, BUT WE ARE LISTENING.

AND THE GOAL ISN'T PERFECTION.

THE GOAL IS FOR US TO JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER EACH YEAR.

AND BECAUSE WE KEEP DOING THAT, WE DON'T GO ASKING FOR THESE AWARDS.

WE DON'T GO ASKING FOR THESE THINGS.

WE'RE JUST RECOGNIZED FOR THEM.

AND I CAN'T BE MORE PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS ORGANIZATION WITH THESE PHENOMENAL ACHIEVEMENTS AND AND TO CALL THE 1100 EMPLOYEES THAT WE WORK WITH MY COLLEAGUE, BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN BONITA UNIFIED, THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO FULL OF SKILL. AND THEY HAVE THE HEART AND PASSION TO ACCOMPLISH A LOT OF GREAT THINGS.

AND SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN YOU ON TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS FROM OUR STUDENT

[13. COMMUNICATIONS FROM STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES]

SO IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN THAT YOU GET TO HAVE A CO-PRESIDENCY, BUT THIS IS ONE TO REMEMBER.

SO THESE TWO STUDENTS HAVE BEEN GREAT FRIENDS SINCE THE FIRST GRADE.

THEY BOTH MADE IT TO THE FINALS AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST EACH OTHER. SO THEY DECIDED TO APPROACH THE ADVISERS, THE STUDENT COUNCIL, AND PROPOSE A CO-PRESIDENCY. I THINK A LOT OF ADULTS CAN LEARN FROM THESE TWO VERY YOUNG AND MATURE STUDENTS. AND IT'S REMARKABLE WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN THEY PUT THEIR MINDS TOGETHER FOR GREAT THINGS. SO FIRST [INAUDIBLE] IS A 5TH GRADE STUDENT AT GLADSTONE.

AND OBVIOUSLY THE CO-PRESIDENT.

HE HAS TWO BROTHERS. HE'S THE OLDEST OF THREE CHILDREN.

HE LIKES TO SPEND TIME PLAYING BASEBALL OR FOOTBALL, DOING MUSICALS AT SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL AND PLAYING PS4 AT HOME WITH HIS BROTHERS.

HE ENJOYS GOING TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, MAGIC MOUNTAIN AND DISNEYLAND.

HE IS THE HAPPIEST WHEN HE IS WITH PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT HIM, LIKE HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. AND ONE PERSON HE ADMIRES IS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, BECAUSE HE WAS A TRUTHFUL PERSON IN AMERICA AND SAVED THE UNION.

WHEN HE GROWS UP HE WANTS TO PLAY BE A BASEBALL PLAYER BECAUSE HE LOVES WATCHING THE OAKLAND ATHLETICS WITH HIS DAD.

AS HIS TIME ENDS AT GLADSTONE, HE HOPES TO BE REMEMBERED BY EVERYONE.

HIS PERSONAL MOTTO IS HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT DOESN'T WORK HARD.

THIS MEANS THAT EVEN WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT YOU NOT GOOD ENOUGH THROUGH HARD WORK, YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS. AND MAYA [INAUDIBLE] IS A FIFTH GRADE STUDENT AT GLADSTONE IS THE CO-PRESIDENT.

SHE HAS ONE SISTER, THE YOUNGEST IN HER FAMILY.

SHE LIKES TO SPEND HER TIME DANCING AND HAVING FUN WITH FRIENDS AND CREATING ART.

SHE ENJOYS GOING TO THE MALL, THE BEACH AND TO HER FRIENDS HOUSE.

SHE'S THE HAPPIEST WHEN SHE IS SURROUNDED WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND TWO PEOPLE SHE ADMIRES AS ROSA PARKS AND HARRIET TUBMAN, BECAUSE THEY BOTH RISKED THEIR LIVES TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.

THEY WERE VERY BRAVE AND NEVER SECOND GUESS WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND THEY NEVER ONCE WERE THINKING ABOUT THEMSELVES.

WHEN SHE GROWS UP, SHE WANTS TO BE A LAWYER.

AS HER TIME ENDS AT GLADSTONE, SHE HOPES TO BE REMEMBERED BY EVERYONE.

HER PERSONAL MOTTO IS SHOOT FOR THE MOON.

EVEN IF YOU MISS, YOU'RE GOING TO LAND AMONG THE STARS.

BOTH OF YOU, WELCOME.

THE FLOOR IS ALL YOURS.

[00:20:04]

GLADSTONE ELEMENTARY BEGINS EACH WEEK WITH A MONDAY MORNING ASSEMBLY LED BY THE STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS. WE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO REVIEW A HABIT AND ENCOURAGE THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY TO PUT THESE HABITS INTO PRACTICE EVERYWHERE WE ARE.

THIS PROGRAM HAS BROUGHT ABOUT A COMMON SCHOOL LANGUAGE AND FOCUS.

WE HAVE ALSO STARTED CREATING WAKE UP WEDNESDAY VIDEOS.

THESE VIDEOS ARE SERVE AS A REMINDER FOR HABIT AND WE TALK ABOUT A QUOTE EACH WEEK TO CHALLENGE US TO BE THE BEST WE KNOW EACH ONE CAN BE.

TOGETHER WITH THE HELP OF OUR WONDERFUL MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS, MS. [INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FOCUS ON KINDNESS AND ANTI-BULLYING STRATEGIES.

MRS. M RUNS LUNCH BUNCH GROUPS FOR STUDENTS OF ALL AGES.

SHE REALLY INSPIRES OTHERS TO SEE THEIR PURPOSE.

OUR WONDERFUL MEDIA CENTER HAS A GREAT SPACE FOR STUDENTS TO COME IN DURING RECESS AND LUNCH TO REALLY BE CREATIVE.

THREE DAYS A WEEK, STUDENTS GATHER TO CREATE AND COLLABORATE ACROSS THE GRADE LEVELS.

AND WE CAN'T FORGET THAT OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER, OUR ULTRA FUN RUN, BROUGHT IN FIFTY THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED NINETY TWO DOLLARS AND SEVENTY FOUR CENTS AND MISS DANIELS KISSED A PIG. GLADSTONE FAMILIES HAVE SYNERGIZE THE SCHOOL IN MANY WAYS, WE KICKED OFF OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE BY COLLECTING SOCKS DURING OUR SOCKTOBER DRIVE.

WE COLLECTED OVER 700 PAIRS OF SOCKS TO DONATE TO THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY.

IN NOVEMBER, WE RAN OUR ANNUAL THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE, WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO BLESS SEVEN GLADSTONE FAMILIES WITH A BASKET FULL OF FOOD.

WE ARE CURRENTLY COLLECTING TOYS FOR OUR TOY DRIVE THAT CONCLUDES ON FRIDAY.

IN CONCLUSION, WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR A RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY ON MONDAY, JANUARY 13 AS WE CELEBRATE BEING A LEADER IN ME SCHOOL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A WONDERFUL REST OF YOUR EVENING.

THE STAFF KICKED OFF THE EVENT WITH THE SLAM DUNK ENTRANCE RUNNING THROUGH A BANNER OF WHILE THEIR CATCHY THEME SONG PLAYED.

THE CROWD LOVED IT AND IT REALLY SET THE TONE FOR THE GAME.

BOTH STUDENTS AND PARENTS ATTENDED THE MATCH.

[14.2. Accept Annual Report from the Citizen's Bond Oversight Committee - Introduced by Susan Cross Hume]

[00:45:09]

OK. THAT'S NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY FAIR THAT I HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT UP.

WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO SING DOUG.

YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT, CHUCK.

BUT I CAN STAND BEFORE YOU THAT I'M VERY PROUD TO BE THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. I'M A PROUD PARENT.

ALL THREE OF MY KIDS HAVE GRADUATED FROM THIS WONDERFUL SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I'VE TOURED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE SCHOOLS WITHIN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT BOTH MATT AND CARL HAVE MENTIONED THAT WE'RE NOT THE MOST OUTSTANDING THING THAT WE CAN BE.

BUT WE ARE ONE OF THE BEST SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN OUR AREA.

MOST DEFINITELY. SO WITH THAT, AS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE, I'M PRESENTING TO THE BOARD THE PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL AUDITS FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1ST THROUGH JUNE 30TH, 2019. AND I FIND THAT BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FINANCIAL AUDITS, THE COMMITTEE FINDS THAT THE BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ARTICLE 8, SECTION 1 OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION.

THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ARTICLE INCLUDE BOND PROCEEDS HAVE BEEN USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, RECONSTRUCTION, REHABILITATION AND REPLACEMENT OF SCHOOL ACTIVITIES AND FACILITIES, INCLUDING THE FURNISHING AND EQUIPPING EQUIPMENT OF THE SCHOOL FACILITIES.

THE BOND PROCEEDS HAVE NOT BEEN USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE, INCLUDING TEACHER AND ADMINISTRATOR SALARIES AND OR SCHOOL OPERATING EXPENSES.

AN ANNUAL INDEPENDENT PERFORMANCE AUDIT IS CONDUCTED TO ENSURE THAT BOND PROCEEDS HAVE BEEN EXPENDED ONLY ON SPECIFIC PROJECTS IN ANNUAL INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL AUDIT IS CONDUCTED UNTIL ALL BOND PROCEEDS HAVE BEEN EXPENDED .

DURING THAT TIME OF THE AUDIT.

THE BOARD MET FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES.

WE GO THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING DONE AT OUR SCHOOLS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT UNDER ANN SPARK AND NOW UNDER SUSAN THAT ALL OF OUR PROCEEDS ARE BEING USED EFFECTIVELY.

AND I'M REALLY GLAD THAT MY KIDS WENT HERE AND THAT THE RECEIVED OUTSTANDING EDUCATION FROM ALL OF OUR INSTRUCTORS AT THE SCHOOLS AS WELL AS OUR ADMINISTRATORS.

THANK YOU. NEXT,

SO MOVED. SECOND ALL IN FAVOR.

AYE. OPPOSED.

ON TO OUR DISCUSSION.

[18.1.1. Approve 2019-2020 First Interim Financial Report for the 2019-2020 Fiscal Year with a Positive Certification]

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

I'M GOING TO START TALKING AND THEY WILL CATCH THOSE SLIDES UP TO ME.

[00:55:03]

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A FUN TIME OF THE YEAR AND IT'S GREAT TO HEAR THE KIDS SING.

AND IT IS REALLY THAT IS A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW, BUT I DON'T SING EITHER.

SO WE'LL JUST WE'LL GO OVER THE REPORT.

THIS IS OUR FIRST INTERIM REPORT.

WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR AT THIS TIME.

WE HAVE THREE FINANCE REPORTS THAT WE FILE EACH YEAR WITH COUNTY OFFICE.

THEN THEY GO UP TO THE STATE LEVEL.

AND THESE REPORT ARE ACTUAL OPERATING RESULTS TO DATE.

AND THEN OUR PROJECTED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR.

IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WE DO ADJUST OUR BUDGETS ALL THE TIME, ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND JUST KEEP UPDATING THOSE TO WHAT ARE MOST CURRENT PROJECTIONS ARE.

WE ALSO DO A THREE YEAR PROJECTION, WHICH IS REALLY LOOKING OUT AS FAR AS WE CAN TO DETERMINE OUR FISCAL VIABILITY.

THIS IS A VERY BIG REPORT.

THERE'S A LOT OF NUMBERS IN THERE, A LOT OF SMALL NUMBERS IN THERE.

SO WHAT WE'VE GIVEN YOU AN THE AGENDA ITEM IS THE ACTUAL FORM [INAUDIBLE] ACCOUNT CALLED CODE FORMS [INAUDIBLE] FORMS. BUT WE ALSO HAVE A MEMO THAT SUMMARIZES FOR YOU OUR MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AND THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

AND THEN WE ALSO GIVEN YOU SOME FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHERE FOR EACH OF OUR FUNDS WE SHOW THE BUDGET THAT WAS PASSED IN JUNE AND THEN NOW THE UPDATED BUDGET.

SO FAR, THE 19-20 BUDGET WE'LL START THERE AT FIRST INTERIM, AS I SAY, WE DO UPDATE OUR CURRENT YOUR BUDGET TO THE MOST RECENT DATA.

THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES SINCE WE PASSED THE BUDGET IN JUNE.

THERE'S ONE MATERIAL CHANGE AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN JUNE THE STATE WILL ALWAYS PASS THEIR BUDGET AFTER US.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO GET ALL OF OUR NUMBERS TOGETHER TO BASICALLY DO A PRESENTATION THE SECOND WEEK OF JUNE. SO WE'RE REALLY FINALIZING OUR BUDGET IN MAY.

THE STATE WILL TAKE IT SOMETIMES TO THE ABSOLUTE END OF JUNE, WHICH THEY DID THIS YEAR.

IT WAS ABOUT THE THIRD WEEK OF JUNE.

IT PASSED THE BUDGET. AND ONE THING THAT THEY HAD, THAT BUDGET THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO PUT IN OUR ORIGINAL BUDGET WAS AN INCREASE IN PRESCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING.

SO THIS IS ABOUT NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER THREE TO FIVE YEAR OLD.

I'M NOT COUNTING KINDERGARTNERS OR TK STUDENTS.

AND THAT WAS AN ADDITIONAL EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION BUDGET, WHICH DECREASED THAT ENCROACHMENT.

SO THAT WAS LIKE THE REALLY BIGGEST MATERIAL CHANGE.

THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER SMALL CHANGES, BUT THAT WAS THE MAJOR CHANGE.

SO OTHER THAN THAT MATERIAL CHANGE, WE DO GO THROUGH ALL OF OUR LINE ITEM BUDGETS LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PROGRAMS WE LOOK AT THE SITE BUDGETS AND WE UPDATE THEM TO THE TO THE CURRENT AMOUNTS. SO SOME OTHER THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THE BEGINNING FUND BALANCES CARRYOVERS. WE DO LOOK AT OUR ENROLLMENT.

WE MAKE ASSUMPTIONS IN OUR JUNE BUDGET BASED UPON WHAT WE THINK THE ENROLLMENT IS GOING TO BE THIS YEAR. OUR ENROLLMENT IS JUST DEAD FLAT AS OF THE SECOND MONTH WITH EVERY SECOND CHANGE OF ONE STUDENT.

SO WE'RE REALLY AND THAT WAS WHAT WE HAD BUDGETED.

SO WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CHANGES DUE TO ENROLLMENT.

WE DO LOOK AT OUR LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA LCFF TO SEE IF THE STATE HAS CHANGED ANYTHING ON THAT. IT'S JUST BEEN A VERY MINOR CHANGE ON THAT, VERY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS BY THE STATE. NO BIG CHANGE THERE.

WE LOOK AT ALL OUR CATEGORICAL REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES.

UPDATE THOSE ALL OF OUR OTHER INCOME ACCOUNTS, GENERAL FUND CONTRIBUTIONS AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. IN THE FALL, WE GO FOR ALL OUR SALARY BENEFIT ACCOUNTS.

SO AGAIN, BACK IN JUNE, WE HAD AN ESTIMATE OF HERE'S ALL THE TEACHERS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, HERE'S ALL THE STAFF. NOW WE'RE REALLY NARROWING THAT DOWN AND PUTTING EVERYBODY IN THEIR SLOT WHERE THEY GO.

AND THEN WE JUST LOOK AT ALL OTHER EXPENDITURE ACCOUNTS.

SO TAKING THAT ALL TOGETHER, BACK IN JUNE, OUR ORIGINAL PROJECTED LOSS FOR 19/20 WAS 5.2 MILLION DOLLARS. NOW IT'S GONE UP A LITTLE BIT.

$612,000 TO $5.8 MILLION.

SO BASED UPON A TOTAL BUDGET OF $117 MILLION IN THE GENERAL FUND, WE HAVE A PROJECTED RESTRICTED ENDING FUND BALANCE FOR THE CURRENT YEAR OF JUST OVER TWENTY ONE MILLION DOLLARS. THAT'S 18 PERCENT OF TOTAL GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES.

THE STATE REQUIRES US TO HAVE A 3 PERCENT RESERVE.

SO WE ARE 17.6 MILLION DOLLARS OVER THE STATE REQUIREMENT IN THIS DISTRICT.

WE HAVE A BOARD REQUIREMENT OF 7 PERCENT.

[01:00:02]

SO WE'RE WELL ABOVE BOTH THE STATE AND OUR OWN REQUIREMENT.

SO JUST A LITTLE HISTORICAL DATA AND THEN THE PROJECTED FOR THIS YEAR FOR THE GENERAL FUND, THE FUND BALANCE.

SO IN FUN BALANCES LIKE OUR RETAINED EARNINGS IN A FOR PROFIT COMPANY, THIS IS REALLY OUR LIKE OUR NET WORTH. SO 17/18, YOU COULD SEE WE ENDED UP WITH A SEVENTEEN POINT EIGHT PERCENT FINE BALANCE, 18/19 WE'RE UP TO EIGHTEEN POINT EIGHT.

AND AGAIN, FOR THE CURRENT YEAR WE'RE PROJECTING THAT 18 PERCENT ENDING FUND BALANCE UNRESTRICTED. SO AGAIN, THIS IS VERY, VERY STEADY.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT YOUR FUND BALANCE TO LOOK.

YOU DON'T LIKE TO JUMP IT UP AND DOWN.

SO JUST VERY, VERY STABLE.

SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK MORE INTO OUR MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS.

SO THE STATE REQUIRES US TO DO A THREE YEAR PROJECTION, SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE STATE DOES A ONE YEAR BUDGET, BUT THEY DO GIVE US ASSUMPTIONS TO GO OUT FOR THE THREE YEARS.

AND SO WE MAKE OUR BUDGETS OUT FOR FOUR YEARS JUST TO JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SO THE BIGGEST PART OF OUR BUDGET IS THE LCFF.

THAT'S ABOUT 83 PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL REVENUE.

OH, LCFF IS BASED UPON OUR ADA AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE.

WE'VE ESTIMATED THAT OR PROJECTED THAT OUT IS JUST FLAT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN VERY FLAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

THE STATUTORY COLA IS FROM THE STATE.

THIS WAS THE PROJECTED COLAS AT THE TIME THAT WE PREPARED OUR REPORT.

NOW THEY'RE COMING OUT A LITTLE LOWER THAN THIS, BUT WE'LL GET LIKE OFFICIAL NUMBERS IN JANUARY AND THEN WE HAVE A AN UNDUPLICATED PERCENT, WHICH IS OUR EL TITLE 1 AND FOSTER YOUTH STUDENTS. AGAIN IT'S VERY STEADY AT AROUND 40 PERCENT.

USING THOSE FACTORS, THE PER ADA CHANGE TO LCFF.

SO THIS IS THE CHANGE EACH YEAR PER STUDENT THREE POINT THREE SIX, TWO POINT NINE FIVE, TWO POINT SEVENTY FIVE.

[INAUDIBLE] I HAVE A SLIDE, A COUPLE SLIDES DOWN WHICH SHOWS THAT GRAPHICALLY AND THEN THE DOLLARS PER ADA 9509 THIS YEAR.

9796 LAST YEAR AND THEN 21/22 WE'LL GO OVER TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PER STUDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME PROJECTED RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL LCFF INCREASE OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS 2.5, 2.7, 2.6 MILLION. AND AGAIN, JUST TO KIND OF KEEP THAT IN PERSPECTIVE, ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS TOTAL EXPENDITURE BUDGET.

SO THIS IS HOW MUCH LCFF IS GOING UP EACH YEAR.

WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE ENROLLMENT, THE DISTRICT ENROLLMENT.

THIS IS OVER THE LAST 14 YEARS.

JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW STEADY WE ARE.

AND BECAUSE THE WAY IT TRUNCATES A NINETY FIVE HUNDRED IT DOES MAKE IT MORE VISUALLY INTERESTING TO GO UP AND DOWN.

BUT ACTUALLY OVER THOSE 14 YEARS, THE AVERAGE ENROLLMENT IS NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE KIDS.

SO JUST WE CALL IT TEN THOUSAND.

WE ALWAYS SAY WE'RE A DISTRICT AT 10000 KIDS.

AND THAT REALLY IS THE AVERAGE OVER THAT 14 YEARS.

THE LOW WAS NINETY SEVEN NINETY FOUR AND THE HIGH EXCUSE ME WAS TEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SIXTY EIGHT. SO IT'S ONLY A FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR STUDENTS SWING.

THAT'S LESS THAN 5 PERCENT.

SO WHEN YOU HAVE THAT SMALL OF A CHANGE AND YOU CAN SEE IT GOES UP AND IT GOES DOWN OVER 14 YEARS, AGAIN, WE ARE JUST INCREDIBLY STABLE AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY VERY HELPFUL WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO BUDGET. IF YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE THAT STABLE.

THE MAJORITY OF DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ARE ARE IN A DECLINING ENROLLMENT SITUATION NOW. AND FORTUNATELY, WE'VE GONE DOWN A LITTLE.

OUR ADA HAS GONE DOWN A LITTLE BIT LAST YEAR.

BUT REALLY, WE ARE VERY, VERY STABLE.

THIS GRAPH SHOWS GRAPHICALLY THE CHANGE IN THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA.

THE BLUE BAR IS THE DOLLARS GOING THROUGH AND THEN THE RED LINE IS THE PERCENT CHANGE IN THE PER PUPIL FUNDING.

SO YOU COULD SEE WHEN LCFF WAS BEING IMPLEMENTED BACK HERE IN 14, 15, 16 OVER THESE YEARS

[01:05:04]

WE'RE GETTING SOME NICE LARGE INCREASES NOW WERE FULLY IMPLEMENTED.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY STEADY JUST ABOUT A COLA GOING FORWARD.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING FOR US TO TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT A COLA INCREASES FROM NOW ON.

SO IN OUR MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS, OBVIOUSLY, AGAIN, LCFF IS THE BIGGEST PART OF THAT, THE BIGGEST DRIVER. AND HOW THAT'S GOING.

OTHER THINGS THAT WE INCLUDE IN THERE ARE WE STILL HAVE THESE SCHEDULED INCREASES TO OUR STRS AND PERS RATES.

SO THOSE ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROJECTIONS WE PUT IN ROUTINE STEP & COLUMN AND INFLATIONARY INCREASES, BUT WE REALLY DON'T PUT IN ANY OTHER BUDGET INCREASES.

WE DON'T AT THIS POINT UNTIL WE NEGOTIATE A RAISE OR AN INCREASE ON HEALTH BENEFITS.

WE DON'T PUT THAT IN OUR PROJECTION.

AND WE REALLY THERE'S REALLY NOTHING OUT THERE THAT WE KNOW WE NEED TO PROJECT FOR NOW.

PUTTING THAT ALL TOGETHER, THESE ARE PROJECTED LOSSES FOR THE [INAUDIBLE] YEAR AND RESTRICTED LOSS.

THE UNRESTRICTED FUND BALANCE AND THEN THE FUND BALANCE PERCENT.

SO THIS IS REALLY THE THE KEY SLIDE OBVIOUSLY IN THE WHOLE PROJECTION.

AND I'M GOING TO SAY AGAIN, I THINK I SAID THIS LAST YEAR BECAUSE WE WERE ALSO LOOKING AT THREE YEARS OF DEFICIT SPENDING LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME.

AND I SAID, SHOULD WE BE WORRIED? WELL, I'M NOT WORRIED.

SO OUR TREND HAS BEEN WE ARE THE LAST THREE YEARS AT LEAST WE SHOW THESE DEFICIT SPENDING AND THEN WE MAKE IT UP BY THE YEAR END.

I'M NOT SURE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE UP 5.8 MILLION. THAT'S A PRETTY BIG JUMP.

BUT THE LAST THREE YEARS, THIS THE SWING HAS BEEN ABOUT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FOR BETWEEN WHAT WE WERE SHOWING AT FIRST INTERIM AND HOW WE ACTUALLY ENDED UP THE YEAR.

WE HAVE VERY CONSERVATIVE BUDGETS.

I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT HERE. SO.

AND THE WAY WE PROJECT OUR HEALTH BENEFITS IN PARTICULAR.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE SHOWING THESE NEGATIVE NUMBERS, I DO EXPECT THEM TO TURN AROUND.

AND THE THE STATE OF THE DISTRICT'S FINANCE IS VERY STRONG.

YOU DO HAVE SOME REQUIRED DISCLOSURES UNDER ED CODE 42, 127, WHERE WE JUST HAVE TO SAY WHAT'S UNASSIGNED, WHAT'S THE MINIMUM AND THE AMOUNT ABOVE THE MINIMUM.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE ABOVE THE MINIMUM 3 PERCENT.

IT'S WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

AND THEN WE DO DISCLOSE THAT WE DO KEEP A RESERVE AND WE THINK IT'S PRUDENT TO KEEP A RESERVE FOR ANTICIPATED FUTURE EXPENDITURES, FOR TECHNOLOGY, INSTRUCTION MATERIALS, OTHER NECESSARY INSTRUCTIONAL EXPENDITURES.

WE KEEP MONEY, TO IN CASE WE DO GO INTO DECLINING ENROLLMENT, WE WANT TO HAVE SAVINGS FOR UNPLANNED OR EMERGENCY EXPENDITURES, FUTURE FACILITIES NEEDS OR PERHAPS ANY FUTURE DOWNTURNS IN THE STATE ECONOMY.

AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF IN A HOLDING MODE NOW, WE AWAIT IT IN JANUARY, WE'LL GET THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL FOR THE 20/21 BUDGET.

RIGHT NOW, WE ARE STILL IN THE EXPANDING ECONOMY.

THIS IS THE LONGEST THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN EXPANDING.

SO AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER.

WE'RE GOING TO DIFFERENT YOU GUYS WERE AT CSCA.

I WAS AT [INAUDIBLE] THE WEEK BEFORE.

YOU KNOW, THE ECONOMISTS ARE LIKE, IT'S STILL LOOKING GOOD OUT THERE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THE ONE THING, YOU KNOW, AT THE STATE, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN.

BUT THE STATE HASN'T PUT IN QUITE A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS RAINY DAY FUND.

SO WHAT THEY'RE SAYING NOW IS WHEN WE DO GO INTO A RECESSION, THEY'RE FEELING LIKE THE SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE SOMEWHAT PROTECTED BECAUSE THERE IS MONEY IN THAT RAINY DAY FUND.

BUT BUT AS OF NOW, THINGS ARE STILL POSITIVE.

SO WE ARE CERTIFYING POSITIVE.

WHICH MEANS WE DO.

WE WILL BE ABLE TO MEET ALL OF OUR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS FOR THE CURRENT AND THE SUBSEQUENT TWO FISCAL YEARS.

AND OUR NEXT STEPS ARE WE WILL FILE THAT FIRST INTERIM REPORT WITH [INAUDIBLE] FOR THEIR REVIEW. THEN THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET IN JANUARY.

WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON OUR LCAP WHILE THE SECOND INTERIM REPORT IN MARCH.

AND THEN WE ALSO CHECK OUT OUR P2 ADA AND SEE HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR PROJECTIONS.

SO BEFORE I GET TO THE QUESTIONS, I JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD NOTICED THAT IT'S LOVELY TREE THAT WE HAVE IN THE LOBBY AND WE ARE COLLECTING SOCKS HERE AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE FOR MCKINLEY AND DAVID AND MARGARET.

[01:10:02]

SO THE SOCKS ARE IN A BOX.

BUT I DID TAKE THEM OUT TO TAKE A PICTURE JUST FOR YOU, KEVIN.

THIS WAS KEVIN'S IDEA. I GIVE HIM ALL THE CREDIT.

SO IF YOU HAVE SOME SOCKS, BRING THEM IN.

FOR GOOD CAUSE. SO I WILL ASK QUESTIONS.

I WILL THANK MRS. [INAUDIBLE] WHO IS OUR FISCAL DIRECTOR AND SHE IS HERE AND SHE AND THE STAFF DO JUST SUCH GREAT WORK PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER.

SO DO YOU WANT TO THANK THEM. QUESTIONS? YES. A COUPLE.

WITH THE INCREASE IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION FUNDING.

I DON'T KNOW HOW CLOSE YOU CAN, BUT HOW MUCH INCREASES THAT IS SUBSTANTIAL THAT WE CAN DO GREAT THINGS OR JUST A LITTLE BIT THAT HELPS.

I'LL LET MATT TALK ABOUT THAT.

IT IS 820,000 THOUSAND.

BUT REMEMBER ABOUT THOSE [INAUDIBLE] BEFORE WE WE'VE BASICALLY BEEN EDUCATING PRESCHOOL STUDENTS WITHOUT RECEIVING MONEY FOR IT FROM THE STATE.

WE RECEIVE FEDERAL FUNDING.

I'M SAYING THAT RIGHT, MATT. BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVING STATE STATE FUNDING.

SO THIS IS KIND OF TO ME THAT THERE THAT THIS ISN'T US SUPPLANTING SUPPLEMENTING THING.

THEY'RE JUST GIVING US THE MONEY.

SO RIGHT NOW, IT'S GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THAT.

BUT I'LL LET MATT JUMP IN.

AND I THINK SHE SAID IT RIGHT.

IT'S NOT NECESSARY THAT WE'RE GOING TO ADD TO WHAT KIND OF FUND WHAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.

MONEY THAT WE SHOULD HAVE HAD ALL ALONG.

OH, YEAH, IT DOESN'T.

IT FOR SURE DOESN'T COVER OUR FULL EXPENSES.

IT'S JUST WE'RE GOING TO HELP OFFSET THE CURRENT OBLIGATIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND STATE GIVE US QUITE A BIT.

THEY LIKE TO GIVE US THE OBLIGATIONS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE FUNDS THAT COME WITH IT.

AND SO THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY, IT DOES HELP, BUT IT'S JUST GONNA GO TOWARDS FUNDING WHEN IT'S ALREADY EXISTING.

ON THE MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS SLIDE.

NOW, YOU SAID YOU WERE GETTING INFORMATION IN JANUARY.

WAS THAT FOR 20/22 OR WHAT YEAR OR FOR.

WHICH SLIDE. MULTI-YEAR PROJECTIONS ABOUT THE SIXTH ONE IN.

GOT THE ADA, THE STATUTORY UNDUPLICATED.

I'M SORRY. WHAT'S THE QUESTION? I THINK I'VE GOT MYSELF A LITTLE CONFUSED.

WE'RE GETTING. THERE'S A REPORT COMING IN JANUARY.

SO IN JANUARY, THE GOVERNOR WILL UPDATE THE THE PROJECTIONS.

SO RIGHT NOW, LIKE THAT STATUTORY COLA YOU SEE THE 3.2 6 AND THE 3.0 AND THE 2.8. SO THAT'S THAT WAS WHAT THE PROJECTION WAS.

WE GET THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE GIVES US THESE PROJECTIONS.

SO THEY GIVE US THE PROJECTED COLA.

WE PROJECT THE ADA AND THEN WE PROJECT OUR UNDUPLICATED COUNT PERCENT AND WE PUT ALL THOSE FACTORS TOGETHER TO TO PROJECT THE ACTUAL LCFF.

SO IN JANUARY, THE STATE WILL UPDATE THOSE GOALS.

FOR ALL THREE. FOR ALL THREE YEARS.

YEAH. AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE STARTING TO TALK ABOUT THEY MIGHT BE A LITTLE LOWER THAN THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ALSO PROP 98 GUARANTEES.

SO IF THE COLA GOES LOWER, THEY STILL MIGHT HAVE TO GIVE US MORE MONEY OR THEY COULD CHOOSE TO LIKE THIS YEAR WHERE THEY GIVE US EXTRA MONEY FOR SPECIAL ED.

OK. AND THEN THE VERY NEXT SLIDE ON MULTI YEAR PROJECTIONS, THE TOTAL LCFF INCREASE YEAR TO YEAR IS 2.5 MILLION, 2.7, 2.6. CORRECT.

IS THAT ON TOP OF EACH YEAR? OR IS THAT HOW MUCH.

AND THAT'S ON TOP OF EACH YEAR.

YEAH. SO BY THE END OF THE THIRD YEAR, WE WILL HAVE ADDED LIKE THE SEVEN POINT TWO OR WHATEVER THAT IS. AND THEN ON THE PROJECTED UNRESTRICTED RESERVE, FIRST INTERIM 3 OUR PROJECTION SLIDE, YOU KIND OF WERE EXPECTING A TURNAROUND IN THE FUND BALANCE PERCENT.

SO RIGHT NOW YOU SEE THE FUND BALANCE PERCENT IS 18.

FOURTEEN POINT SEVEN [INAUDIBLE] SO WHEN I LOOKED AT IT LAST YEAR, AT THIS TIME, IT WAS YOU KNOW, IT WAS THE SAME TYPE [INAUDIBLE] NINETEEN POINT EIGHT.

FIFTEEN POINT THREE. ELEVEN POINT NINE.

SO WE DO. YEAH.

WE ALWAYS EXPECT WE'RE GOING TO COME IN MUCH BETTER THAN THAT.

SO WE'VE BEEN HAVING FOUR TO FIVE MILLION DOLLAR SWING EACH YEAR.

SO THAT WOULD MAKE THOSE NUMBERS BETTER.

SO WE CAN EXPECT THAT TO ZERO OUT IN 5 YEARS MAYBE.

OR IS I JUST DEPEND ON.

I THINK FOUR OR FIVE YEARS YEAH.

I THINK THIS YEAR 5.8 MILLION IS A LOT TO OVERCOME.

WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO DEFICIT SPEND THIS YEAR, BUT IN THOSE OUT YEARS, I WOULD NOT THINK WE'RE GOING TO DEFICIT SPEND.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST AT THE, YOU KNOW, THE CURRENT PROJECTIONS FROM THE STATE.

THANK YOU. SURE. AND THE SLIDE WITH THE CHANGES IN THE LCFF THAT IF YOU JUST LOOK AT IT

[01:15:06]

WAS ACTUALLY ALL OUR INCREASES JUST TOWARD THE END THESE LAST THREE YEARS ARE BECAUSE WE'RE FULLY FUNDED.

THAT'S WHY THE ONE SPIKES WAY UP.

YEAH. EXACTLY.

EVEN THE LOWEST ONE IS AN INCREASE OVER WHAT WE'RE GETTING.

CORRECT. OK.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU ALL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OK.
