We had a 25 million dollar deficit. 167 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,200 Today our projected budget has an 8.1 million 168 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,100 dollar deficit. 169 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,100 next slide 170 00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:47,500 How did we go from 25 million down to eight million the 171 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:49,300 main factor that drove this was 172 00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:52,300 our summer submission of our student counts. They've now become 173 00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:56,900 final and we did see that we recovered attendance 174 00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:57,800 during the summer. 175 00:08:58,800 --> 00:08:59,800 the summer submission 176 00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:02,300 and and I have a picture here. 177 00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:04,800 of the differences 178 00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:09,200 attendance attendance 179 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,300 like how so 180 00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:17,900 27,500 students or less 181 00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:18,300 or more? 182 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,900 Up to what you should be at 32. 183 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,400 Peak and then we lost apart from 3,000 kids. 184 00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:29,400 Right going into where are 185 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,300 we now right going into the 21 22 school year. 186 00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:35,700 We were a little below we were right at 31 187 00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:38,500 32 was two or 188 00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,200 three school years before that. And so then 189 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,400 we we took a conservative approach and we budgeted at 190 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,200 30,800 when the school 191 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,600 year started. We were at 26. 192 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,200 So we've recovered a concernable amount of 193 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,400 students and enrollment. We haven't recovered all of 194 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,200 them back to 30,800 which is what we had projected. But 195 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,500 we we are at 29 to 50 as 196 00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,900 of last October now because we don't know what's 197 00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:08,800 going to happen with these variants. We budgeted flat 198 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,100 we take we stayed at 29 to 50. 199 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:15,800 However, we ended the year 29 almost 200 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,600 six. It was 29 580 something 201 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,300 like that. So we feel 29 to 50 202 00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:25,100 is conservative and we don't want to recruitment effort 203 00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:27,300 right now on going or whatever. Do you have any 204 00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:30,800 sense to how many we might wind up when the 205 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,800 actual school year starts? 206 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,400 I think 29-250 is a good estimate. I can't 207 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,800 guarantee it. We thought 30,800 was 208 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,400 a conservative estimate last year and the Very 209 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:42,900 ends. Just 210 00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,300 you know, they just busted our budget for lack of 211 00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:51,500 a better word. We we didn't see that 30,800 in 212 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:51,700 September. 213 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,300 So I think 29 to 50 is a good estimate. 214 00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:59,800 It's less than what our actual enrollment ended 215 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,500 in May. 216 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,000 Rolled over 20 28,550 students 217 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,200 from last year to this 218 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,500 year. So the 29,000 should be a reasonable number. 219 00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,300 39,000. Yeah, so we we rolled over 220 00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:20,500 28,550 students, correct? 221 00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:30,400 The snapshot and tells us you're at this point. So 222 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,600 there's gonna be Cuts or you're okay. So the 223 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,400 only thing Becky that I want to recommend is 224 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,600 at that point if that happens and we 225 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,300 do not have the projected numbers because 226 00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,800 of what you just mentioned, you know, the variance 227 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,400 we've seen that the 228 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,700 past month the cases have gone up tremendously. We 229 00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,200 don't know what's going to happen in you know the next few weeks. 230 00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:57,000 so with that said 231 00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,100 where I want to recommend that we don't 232 00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:01,600 cut. 233 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,300 From education funds from 234 00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:08,400 the maintenance and and all those 235 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,900 departments that are crucial to to you 236 00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,700 know, the functioning of our district. I checked 237 00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:19,500 the budget for the past three years and we 238 00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:21,600 started at I don't 239 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:21,700 want to 240 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,500 489 in 2020 241 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,700 29 2019-2020. We went 242 00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:35,200 down to 430 414 243 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,400 389 this 244 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,100 last time when the adjustment was done throughout the 245 00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,800 pandemic or the year of the pandemic. 246 00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:47,800 But then I saw the the line list not alignment, 247 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,800 but the lines on each item and the 248 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,900 one that seems to suffer the most every year. 249 00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:56,700 Throughout the budgets is the the Teachers 250 00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:59,600 Fund the education for the resources and I 251 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,300 just feel that we're taking from the people that are 252 00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:05,400 out there on the trenches and with all the respect 253 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,800 the one that never gets any any adjustments 254 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,100 is Administration. 255 00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:16,000 You know, so I want to make sure that we moving forward 256 00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:18,300 we balance it in a way 257 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:21,400 because if there are discrepancies, I want it balance 258 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,400 in a way that we're not affecting the 259 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:24,900 teachers. 260 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,800 You know and and all of those departments and we're Fair 261 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,200 across the board because the one that seems to 262 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,600 stay stable and the same is Administration. 263 00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:39,200 And I want to add to that just a little bit. I 264 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,300 think my concern is that I know that you we've got to pass the 265 00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:45,300 budget by a certain date. We all know that so it's 266 00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:49,100 That's a no-brainer, but I 267 00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:52,100 would like to see make sure we take into account the fact that we 268 00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:56,200 still have some nebulous areas that we're not very sure exactly 269 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,300 as to what's going to happen. 270 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,300 while we passed the budget, we've got to have some cap in there 271 00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:02,200 to make sure that 272 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,900 We have enough money to go ahead and take care of the essential flight 273 00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:08,000 doctor with Kevin talking about. 274 00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:13,300 Yeah for making sure that the captains are are well 275 00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:15,500 resource in terms of personnel, whether 276 00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:18,100 it's a teacher or a parent professional anything that's going to 277 00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:20,400 go ahead and provide a quality for kids. 278 00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:25,400 I'm going to take a hard line of approach to this. I 279 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,400 would rather wait until October and see exactly where we're 280 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:28,800 at. 281 00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:33,300 Before we start spending on items that may be 282 00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:36,600 sometimes luxury items and not kind 283 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,000 of stuff for example buying buying more land. I know 284 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,300 that we're entertaining some 285 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,200 some projects which 286 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,300 it could be the case and you know if 287 00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:49,500 it's extremely lucrative Maybe. 288 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,300 But if we don't have to and we might use that money for 289 00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:56,200 for classroom instruction, I'd rather do that. 290 00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:00,300 Unnecessary construction projects. I don't 291 00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:03,900 think that we need to go with that right now. Maybe maybe 292 00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:06,800 by the middle of the education cycle. We're 293 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:06,900 okay. 294 00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,400 Veronita, I think what we need to do is make sure that we 295 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,600 are staffed correctly for our kids. 296 00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:17,200 Going back to the construction projects. I 297 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,500 want to know our enrollment 298 00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:22,400 is actually going to be in a certain time. Are we 299 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,200 going to have to consolidate schools and if we 300 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,500 consolidate schools because it's necessary to 301 00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:28,900 do that. 302 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,400 And double up on students at a certain campus that's 303 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,900 going to leave a campus they can. 304 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:37,700 I don't think we need to be going to do additional construction. 305 00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:40,200 And I'm glad you mentioned that 306 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,600 trustee VA. That's because one of the major cuts to 307 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,700 get that 25 million down to eight million was a 308 00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:50,000 six and a half million dollar cut to construction. We did 309 00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:53,000 do that. Okay, so I appreciate that about 310 00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:57,600 that because I'm always going to take a hard line, whatever bearable 311 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,500 budget we have and we have a little bit of a surplus. I 312 00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:01,700 want to make sure the captives get it. 313 00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:06,200 And that's going to be priority for me and those 314 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,600 positions that are not essential. 315 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,500 And sometimes and I'm not going to mention the position but we'll 316 00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:15,800 see a position that comes out all of a sudden. I'm worried 317 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,600 about a teacher in the classroom. I'm not worried about training an 318 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,800 instructional coach weight training 319 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,400 coach or whatever. I don't think that that's a 320 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,200 necessary to me. That's a 321 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,500 luxury to have but it's not an essential to have 322 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,400 So those are the kind of things I'm going to take a hard line again. So I 323 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,000 want to make sure we all understand that let's go ahead let Mickey 324 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,800 continue with the presentation, right and 325 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,400 hash will flesh this out as we 326 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,200 go forward. Obviously, this is obviously very 327 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,300 preliminary. We may find 328 00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:53,800 that we have more funds but I'll ask some questions on 329 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,500 how we got to where we are today. Okay. The other 330 00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:58,100 decisions can come. 331 00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:01,800 At a facilities meeting to prioritize. I 332 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,600 mean the priorities are going to be fleshed out by the 333 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,500 board if you will so good. Continue, please Becky right 334 00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:08,500 and the reason I put this 335 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,800 like first is because this 336 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,500 Is driver of the budget it's the attendance and 337 00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,100 the enrollment and that's where we made up the majority of 338 00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:19,400 the deficit when these numbers were submitted to te a and 339 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,600 became final so these numbers are now final and we 340 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,600 we used the same numbers for 21:22 to 341 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,600 22 23. We did not project any growth or 342 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,300 any additional recovery in Ada. And so 343 00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:34,500 just by doing the numbers now that 344 00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:37,000 their final for the summer submission we were able to 345 00:17:37,300 --> 00:17:41,500 get 10 point. I think it's a next slide Hector 10 point. 346 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,900 10.2 347 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,500 and that was across all the categories. And when 348 00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:50,400 in the 25 million CTE was seen in deficit 349 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,600 special ed was seen in deficit when their numbers became final 350 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,300 we were able to balance their budgets and 351 00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:59,400 and CT actually saw a little bit of a surplus of 352 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,100 100,000. I texted her last night. I said, this is 353 00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:05,600 the account I put it into special ed was able to stay where they're at. 354 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,300 And so these the main 355 00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:11,600 driver is always going to be enrollment and 356 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:11,900 attendance. 357 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,700 And so the the other thing we did was we vacancies 358 00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,400 that were already vacant as 359 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,200 at the end of May. We went ahead and closed 6.5 million 360 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,500 of those vacancies and those were district-wide, you 361 00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:28,000 know, if they resigned or retired we 362 00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:30,600 checked to see if the campus had the enrollment if 363 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,900 if the campus needed that that custodian 364 00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:36,100 and so it all went it was 365 00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:39,300 district-wide those six and a half million dollars. 366 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,600 Title One title one will be picking up some of the teachers 367 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,200 at the high schools because they do 368 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,400 have a healthy Title One allocation for next 369 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,800 year. We decreased a construction transfer by 370 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,200 six and a half million and we have a 371 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,000 healthy fund balance in our workers' compensation fund that we 372 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,600 feel we do not need to contribute this year since it's 373 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,400 going to be a tough year. 374 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,400 next slide 375 00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:09,000 so that's how we got to the remaining balance of 8.1 million. 376 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,500 Bilingual is still seen a bit of a deficit 377 00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:15,600 that's to be expected because a lot of her 378 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,200 counts are our three and four year 379 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,200 olds. And those are the grades that are hurting us the most they just 380 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,500 aren't coming back as quickly as we thought they would 381 00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:28,400 so we feel that 7.6 million 382 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,900 maybe what we're take to Esther. However 383 00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:34,200 what I don't have built in here because 384 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,300 this is the first year we do it is the additional day school year 385 00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:40,600 and that should generate additional Revenue. So we're 386 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,800 feeling 7.6 would be the maximum. We're 387 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,800 hoping that's closer to maybe three or four. 388 00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:50,500 so that that that's one of the main things that that 389 00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:51,900 we want to point out is 390 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,400 that is not considering additional Revenue 391 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,100 that we should still be getting by doing the additional day school 392 00:19:58,100 --> 00:19:58,400 year. 393 00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:03,300 Yes, well not know. We will 394 00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:06,800 not know until the end of the summer the we have what was 395 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,500 used to be called extended year. 396 00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:12,200 It's still called extended year right still called extended gear. 397 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,200 Right and we do gain quite a bit of money. 398 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,800 This is the first year we do additional day school year, 399 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,300 so I didn't want to estimate it 400 00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:25,700 and be incorrect. So we wanted 401 00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:28,200 to show the maximum that we feel we would have 402 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,300 to float a 7.6. We're confident. It's going 403 00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:34,500 to be less than that. I just don't have the tools to 404 00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,600 estimate or give a good estimate of what that additional revenue 405 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,600 is gonna be those counts are due to DEA 406 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,600 in September which means that this budget will have 407 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,500 to be passed before we get the actual numbers and 408 00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:49,200 I know how it works. I mean you still have to amend it. Anyway, 409 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,700 yes, because ta will not let you know until October 410 00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,600 if you will right we submit in September and it 411 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,300 usually takes them a good 16 and 90 412 00:20:58,300 --> 00:20:59,200 days. We may not see 413 00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:02,900 the revenue till November December, so hopefully let's let's hypothetically 414 00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:03,400 say you're going to get 415 00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:05,300 three million dollars 416 00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:07,700 so the Esser 417 00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:12,000 Contribution will be reduced to about four million 4.6 418 00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:14,600 million dollars, which is better because 419 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,000 we want to carry over Sr 420 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,500 funds for the year 2024, correct? 421 00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:23,800 Is that correct? Correct, and we don't want to hit that financial 422 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,300 cliff exactly. So we 423 00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:29,500 want to build as much as we can into the local budget and 424 00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,800 carry the positions the expenditures in 425 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,200 the local budget so that when we're seeing the 426 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,400 end of Esther, we don't have a bunch of positions 427 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,800 in there or a bunch of expenditures that we still need to move in. So 428 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800 we're we're really trying to get everybody in 429 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,700 to where they belong have. We 430 00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:50,700 heard anything from TA in the 431 00:21:50,700 --> 00:21:53,300 powers that be regarding Ada versus 432 00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:54,700 enrollment. 433 00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:59,400 Funding no, no well, have 434 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,000 we heard anything? 435 00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:02,100 from anybody at TA 436 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:06,500 about them funding us for enrollment as 437 00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:07,900 opposed to Ada. No. 438 00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:12,400 Okay. Yeah, I know there is the talk about that. That's 439 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,200 the way schools should be funded. But it I haven't 440 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,100 seen them make any. 441 00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:21,900 Advances on that or it's not okay and 442 00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:24,900 we're working on that as a coalition from time and 443 00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:27,200 other people we're working on that that's a priority 444 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,600 because it's affecting not just us. It's 445 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,100 a Statewide issue and I'm concerned about 446 00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:36,100 region one primarily this District. 447 00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:40,200 Because we could stand a game between eight and nine 448 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,700 million dollars. Trust me. 449 00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:45,200 That could make up the difference and a surplus 450 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,300 because I had 7.6 exactly. Yeah, so 451 00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:51,400 we're gonna keep working you I say we because I 452 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,000 belong to the legislative advisory Council of tasby region 453 00:22:54,300 --> 00:22:58,000 one and that's one of our top priorities hitting into 454 00:22:57,700 --> 00:23:00,400 the legislative session. Even if it's delayed. That's 455 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:00,500 okay. 456 00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:04,900 If they do it in the midterm, but anyway, this is 457 00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:06,900 this is a concern I have and a question. 458 00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:13,700 Did we get more money for State comp? Yes, 459 00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:17,000 no not stay comp. I'm sorry. No State Compass 460 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,000 flat or if they declined stay 461 00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:22,600 comp is the only one that's funded in 462 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,500 October. So in October, we were at 29 to 463 00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,300 50 where where we used to be at a little 464 00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:31,700 over 30,000. So unfortunately that the 465 00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:35,000 fact that we ended at 296 we 466 00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:37,100 did not see any additional State company. We won't 467 00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:41,600 see it until the last Friday in October of 22 the 468 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,400 latest legislative session. And 469 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,200 what was done in Washington. This is already taking 470 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,700 into consideration the additional funding there was approved recently 471 00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:52,100 by the by Congress. No, we have 472 00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:55,300 not received allocations for that. Okay, but they've already 473 00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:58,900 approved. Yes increases is that correct? Which means 474 00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:01,000 that money is gonna slow down 475 00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:04,300 this way and we can at least get a message to draw 476 00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:04,400 down. 477 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,300 What is due to the district? Is that correct? That's correct. 478 00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:10,800 Is that the way you understand it deal? 479 00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:13,900 Okay, because they haven't float the money yet. 480 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,300 They did approve additional funding. 481 00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:17,700 Okay. 482 00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:21,800 And special ed is still locked in at whatever 18 20% 483 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,800 They have an increased it up to 40% 38% 484 00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:28,200 No, the answer is not everything. 485 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,200 Okay, and again all these 486 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,400 are funding sources. We have a lot of children that need the funds 487 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,100 special needs Title One. 488 00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:40,500 CTE 489 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,400 And others obviously the the disadvantaged 490 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,500 students so, okay. We'll be optimistic. 491 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,700 Okay, so are not enrollment numbers 492 00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:54,300 may increase for 22 23 that's not built 493 00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:57,100 into here either. So that may chop away 494 00:24:57,100 --> 00:25:01,800 down to what we have to float in Esser. We're 495 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,400 budgeting 29 to 50 like 496 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,400 we talked about in June which is flat and an attendance rate 497 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,200 of 97% 498 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,400 And so we will have a balanced budget for 499 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,600 2223 and this is our plan to to 500 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,600 balance that. 501 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,000 So what is in the 2223 budget? 502 00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:21,700 It's a 2% increase for employees. 503 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,300 1150 which means 11:50 for teachers 504 00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:29,100 five additional police officers seven 505 00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:31,500 additional bus drivers and a three 506 00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:33,300 and a half increase cost to health insurance. 507 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,700 On the health insurance the district will absorb 508 00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:41,700 the employee only cost. So the 509 00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:44,400 employees will not be contributing from their pocket 510 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,100 for the base plan employee. Only the 511 00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:50,100 way we have it right now. Yes. 512 00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:57,900 Just so this is what when are 513 00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:00,400 you going to present us with with the information on this 514 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,300 increases and options to approve for for the 515 00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:06,500 board to approve they 516 00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:09,100 will be on the August 1st meeting Dr. Adele? No, I 517 00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:12,600 believe so. We're preparing the packet for that meeting August 1st, 518 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,500 Monday Monday. Yes.

We've asked our teachers to 676 00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:18,300 provide interventions. 677 00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:22,200 To help our students after school. We've been 678 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,100 able to capitalize on some of the resources that the state has 679 00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:26,800 provided like additional days. 680 00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:30,300 Funding a lot of other districts didn't want 681 00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:34,200 to do that. But we here at PSJA. We we supported 682 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,000 that effort and what that did in turn it 683 00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:39,400 not only provided student learning as a priority 684 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,800 to give more students time to learn and additional learning 685 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,700 then it also provided us with more funding and 686 00:34:45,700 --> 00:34:48,400 we've been able to pass that funding, you know 687 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,200 for our enrichment days.

I know you've already laid out a plan. 747 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,500 But that's like I said, I'm going to take a hard line approach because if 748 00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:54,200 I if I've got money to spend although on a 749 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,300 bare-bone budget. I'm going to spend it on employees. 750 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,400 Especially right now when we don't want the stability 751 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,400 of enrollment and we don't know, you know, 752 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,200 there's a need to build new things. So 753 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,800 but it's information that these 754 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,500 unions provide to us because they 755 00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:15,400 call us and can you go ahead and bring this to your committee? Can 756 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,700 you bring it to your superintendent? 757 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,200 And we said I agree with you Dr. Arolando every 758 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,300 effort that needs to be made to go to Austin and 759 00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:26,300 talk to them and see if you can get money. It's a superintendent. I think 760 00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:29,500 that's that's your responsibility, but I 761 00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:30,000 think 762 00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:34,500 It doesn't look good that we're going to get any money from Austin 763 00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:38,200 right now. The way things are politically so that's 764 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,200 just I don't count on 765 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:40,300 it. 766 00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:45,100 I don't count on Ada versus enrollment that changing. This 767 00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:47,100 is what we have. So I'm saying look at 768 00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:51,000 the budget look at what we have. Let's not spend needlessly if 769 00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:54,200 we need to have a hiring freeze on a specialty 770 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,600 positions. Let's do it. 771 00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:59,400 Let's make sure we have all the teachers we need and everything that goes 772 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,700 into our campus, right and and doctored on 773 00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:05,600 the has instructed us that we will be visiting 774 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,400 the enrollment numbers the third week 775 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,400 of school and we'll see where we stand there so 776 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,400 that we can address anything. We need to address sooner than later. One 777 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,500 of the things that affected the 2122 budget 778 00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:20,400 was that we we needed to wait for tea 779 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,700 and where they going to pay us how they pay us a year before and that 780 00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:27,600 didn't become final until March so information 781 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,600 for Monday, so it 782 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,400 has to be done today, right? Yes, sir. 783 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,200 I also wanted to say 9,000 students 784 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,900 in our June ideas. Why and we 785 00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:42,600 were expected about 5,000 students for our August. So 786 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,500 at some point that should have a significant impact 787 00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:48,200 on our budget. We're not going 788 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,300 to be overly optimistic, but we had a much larger number of 789 00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:54,500 students participating in our extended day opportunity your opportunities 790 00:39:54,500 --> 00:39:55,800 then we've had in your 791 00:39:56,300 --> 00:39:59,400 There so that should be able to help in somewhere another sure. 792 00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:03,800 Becky you still have a few items or 793 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,300 are you done? No that that's that's the end. 794 00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:08,200 Is that it? Yes. Yes. 795 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,300 And like Dr. Trevino just said we do feel 7.6 is 796 00:40:12,300 --> 00:40:12,900 the maximum. 797 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,300 We will be getting funding for the additional day school 798 00:40:16,300 --> 00:40:16,500 year. 799 00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:21,200 We Becky we drawn down all the 800 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,200 SR funds and are they in is the Money in 801 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:24,500 the Bank? 802 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,600 No, they're on they're on a reimbursement basis. So 803 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,500 as we make expenditures, we then draw it 804 00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:31,600 down. 805 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,600 How how much money is still out there that of the 806 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,600 120 million dollars that the district 807 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,500 was approved for how much money is still out 808 00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:41,500 there? 809 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,100 The district 68 million was a lot of 810 00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:48,400 60. That's the last report. I ran right on a reimbursement basis. 811 00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:53,100 Right. Okay six to eight million dollars is still out 812 00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:56,700 there that is owed to the district. It's a little more than that, but we're projected 813 00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:59,800 because they didn't pay us for for the 814 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,000 fifth and six six weeks of 2122. We're 815 00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:05,400 projecting to to cover 816 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,100 that budget with part of the Esser and so it's 817 00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:09,700 around 68 million. Yeah. 818 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,300 It was a decision that tea made they only they only gave 819 00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:17,800 us the attendance rate based on our new enrollment 820 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,600 for the first four six weeks. 821 00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:26,000 Why they're not they said 822 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,400 we don't have the students and we're not going to pay you for 823 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,200 students. You don't have and then on the fifth six 824 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,200 weeks and six six weeks. They made us earn it the 825 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,100 old way which was pre-covid, which was just based on 826 00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:37,600 attendance. 827 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,500 Has a history of not putting anything in writing. 828 00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:46,600 They just tell you verbally and that's the way it is that that's unfortunate. But 829 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,100 anyway, we have to live with something like 830 00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:49,300 that. 831 00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:53,200 any any 832 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,900 any other item on the agenda other than your update Becky? 833 00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:01,500 No any questions any questions 834 00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:03,500 from anybody in the committee?

I know how it works. 890 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,300 The Fine Arts. The fine arts department gets a a 891 00:45:07,300 --> 00:45:08,800 certain amount of money. 892 00:45:09,900 --> 00:45:10,900 I know Mr. Taylor. 893 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,400 Makes a decision on who gets what Etc. 894 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,200 Also, we make a decision here in 895 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,500 terms of how much each campus gets to run their 896 00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:27,200 campus which includes instructional. 897 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,400 Fine Arts leadership counseling and guidance and all the 898 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:32,800 components that are on the campus. 899 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,000 So from there, I know principles make decisions, too. 900 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:36,900 Okay. 901 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,800 We just need to consider for example. 902 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,300 Spending a little bit more money in the area of 903 00:45:45,300 --> 00:45:45,800 Fine Arts. 904 00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:49,800 with an allocation specifically to Fine Arts 905 00:45:50,700 --> 00:45:53,700 As used at the discretion of the 906 00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:55,900 people that lead the different departments. 907 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,800 Theater is one drama is obviously together 908 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,400 we have orchestra. We have 909 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,000 banned we have Folklorico we 910 00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:08,200 have conjunto. 911 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,700 We have a lot of stuff going on. 912 00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:14,700 My take on this is that and I 913 00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:19,000 know because I help them raise some money. They're having 914 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:19,600 to raise money. 915 00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:24,100 You know by raffling things or donations, you 916 00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:26,200 know the band if you will they want 917 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,400 to buy their they want to buy their truck their trailer. They're 18 wheeler, 918 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:29,700 right? 919 00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:32,700 Yeah, they don't have one. 920 00:46:33,700 --> 00:46:34,800 Talking about the school this way. 921 00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:38,800 We probably have three we provide schools 922 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,000 with their trailer and we have a you know, the band doesn't 923 00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:44,800 have their trailer over there. We provided. Yeah, 924 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,200 I forgot about it. And we all 925 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,700 all of the kids, you know, and let's let's 926 00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:53,500 work on that. I mean, I'm fully supportive of 927 00:46:53,500 --> 00:46:55,300 these these kids they need to 928 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,900 Because when they establish an inventory an inventory 929 00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:02,100 of what they need, then it goes 930 00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:04,600 on year and year and they can add to the inventory. 931 00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:08,000 And but I know Mr. Taylor is as part of 932 00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:08,400 this and 933 00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:12,600 Budget and there's a process the principle 934 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,300 needs to be involved. And so but 935 00:47:15,300 --> 00:47:18,200 I think that's yeah. I understand what 936 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,200 you're saying. Thank you, but we've got to commit to this.

You know how expensive 940 00:47:31,500 --> 00:47:34,400 would Academy to shelter students instead of 941 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,300 them having to be hundred and two degree weather. 942 00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:40,600 It's dangerous.

Is it a perfect guy? I saw Christopher right now? 990 00:50:11,300 --> 00:50:16,000 I already did right go ahead 991 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,400 just to you guys can answer we have we 992 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,600 have seen a significant decrease in funding from 993 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,300 the state for our migrant programs. We've explored 994 00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:27,700 several options. We're looking 995 00:50:27,700 --> 00:50:30,700 at figuring out a way to sustain the current 996 00:50:30,700 --> 00:50:31,900 resources that we have. 997 00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:35,300 I don't want to speak out of turn because I don't have the numbers top 998 00:50:35,300 --> 00:50:38,300 of my head. I know Dr. Contoo and I have been working diligently on 999 00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:41,500 on the numbers. However over the 1000 00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:44,300 past five years. We have seen 1001 00:50:44,300 --> 00:50:47,900 over 40% of the funding sources that 1002 00:50:47,900 --> 00:50:50,900 were associated for migrant programs be removed 1003 00:50:50,900 --> 00:50:52,400 by the state was 1004 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,200 Of different coding mechanisms that they've required 1005 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,000 now different ways of exiting students out of 1006 00:50:59,100 --> 00:51:02,100 the migrant program as a matter of fact if I don't 1007 00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:05,400 want to speak for superintendent, but we've discussed sending a 1008 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,200 meeting with the commissioner himself because we have the 1009 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,300 largest number of Migrant students in the state. We also run 1010 00:51:11,300 --> 00:51:14,500 the Texas migrant Interstate program. So a lot of funding has 1011 00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:17,400 been removed over the past five years. We've been 1012 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,400 able to figure out a way to budget for it in the 1013 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,200 last couple of years the post pandemic years. I 1014 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,200 guess what I'm asking you're telling me that we're going 1015 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,300 to you're looking at wait a sustain it and that's great. But 1016 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,500 Are we going to get some information before the school year starts these 1017 00:51:33,500 --> 00:51:36,300 people need to know exactly what's going to happen to them at this 1018 00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:40,000 point. Well our intends to keep everything as is and through 1019 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,400 attrition if positions leave people retire 1020 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,600 thinks that nature so it's not a scale down cut per se 1021 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,100 just if it happens through attrition, correct? That's what 1022 00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:51,500 but they know that already that department knows that already. Yes. 1023 00:51:51,500 --> 00:51:56,000 They're well aware of that if they're not we can definitely turn around and 1024 00:51:54,700 --> 00:51:57,500 sustained for for this 1025 00:51:57,500 --> 00:52:01,100 for this period And so they're 1026 00:52:00,100 --> 00:52:03,200 not open the needles and we're looking at a way 1027 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,800 to go ahead and revivalize. Let me asking question before, you know, actually 1028 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,600 I can answer the questions because I used to I used 1029 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,800 to run my own programs here in the state of Texas. 1030 00:52:14,500 --> 00:52:17,800 This goes back five six seven years the demographics 1031 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:18,300 have changed. 1032 00:52:19,300 --> 00:52:22,200 We used to be the HUD bit of Migrant education 1033 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,200 here. In fact, we were Model A model 1034 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,300 program PSJA La Jolla X or anyway, we used 1035 00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:32,200 to have five 6,000 micro students here, but that's been a few 1036 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:32,400 years ago. 1037 00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:36,300 We have the Texas magnet Interstate program here, 1038 00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:36,700 which is 1039 00:52:37,700 --> 00:52:38,600 to me. It's a plus. 1040 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,400 because it brings us great Prestige here at 1041 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:43,100 the district and 1042 00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:46,100 Was founded in 1980 and I was the first 1043 00:52:46,100 --> 00:52:47,100 director of that program. 1044 00:52:48,300 --> 00:52:51,200 A lot of things have changed migrants have become 1045 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:51,500 immigrants. 1046 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,400 Have become refugees, so they're not migrant. They 1047 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,400 don't meet criteria. They don't they don't meet eligibility criteria. So 1048 00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,300 you're not a migrant anymore. 1049 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,300 The other is you didn't see families migrating anymore. You saw 1050 00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:06,400 adult males migrating, but we don't 1051 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,000 educate adult males. We educate children. So you 1052 00:53:09,100 --> 00:53:12,300 have to travel with your father your mother, whatever 1053 00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:15,100 the family to be eligible. So the funding 1054 00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:19,100 Has gone what's the fun? What is their budget right now? 1055 00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:20,700 half a million 1056 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,000 half a million 1057 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,300 half a million 1058 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,300 Well, I'm familiar with 1059 00:53:30,300 --> 00:53:33,200 it. And I know where we are. My point is 1060 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,200 that and I know I know the anxiety of staff. 1061 00:53:37,100 --> 00:53:39,200 It's they have a bare-bone staff. 1062 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,700 But we still have about 800 micro kids. 1063 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,100 800 850 we need to get that 1064 00:53:47,100 --> 00:53:48,300 data. We need to get those numbers. 1065 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,200 But I I appreciate the fact that we are. 1066 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,700 You know in a sustainable mood. I appreciate the 1067 00:53:56,700 --> 00:53:59,300 fact that you're wanting to meet with a commissioner and have a 1068 00:53:59,300 --> 00:54:02,600 hard discussion. The commission doesn't know migrant. He doesn't does 1069 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,100 not understand migrant. He does not understand a lot 1070 00:54:05,100 --> 00:54:05,600 of other things. 1071 00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:11,300 We we need to work on that. 1072 00:54:11,300 --> 00:54:14,800 Yes, we have this other issue again. It's 1073 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,700 like I said, we've gone from migrants to immigrants to 1074 00:54:17,700 --> 00:54:20,200 refugees and on and on and 1075 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,500 on and it's become a huge political problem 1076 00:54:23,500 --> 00:54:26,500 all over the all over the country and and you 1077 00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:29,600 see it every day in the news, but unfortunately, we still 1078 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,300 have migrant children that have needs. 1079 00:54:31,900 --> 00:54:35,500 Just like special ed children and other children. We 1080 00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:36,900 still have those that qualify. 1081 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,300 But let us know sir. We need to know what's going on and 1082 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,800 I cannot get involved because of my position. I don't 1083 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,800 work for the state. I don't work for the district. 1084 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,100 I advocate for children. 1085 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,300 Any all children doesn't matter who they are. That's what 1086 00:54:54,300 --> 00:54:58,900 I do. Just please what 1087 00:54:58,900 --> 00:55:01,500 I'm one last question really real simple. 1088 00:55:01,500 --> 00:55:04,500 Have we are we taking into consideration 1089 00:55:04,500 --> 00:55:07,700 that just for right now all these people doing reading Academy? 1090 00:55:09,700 --> 00:55:12,400 The individuals that are doing reading categies. We 1091 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,800 do have a we'll be bringing a compensation. 1092 00:55:15,700 --> 00:55:18,800 Menu, yeah, that'll 1093 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,300 be part of the compensation manual that that will prove 1094 00:55:21,300 --> 00:55:24,100 on the on the 15th. Okay, but this is 1095 00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:27,300 the first part that we need to take care of this as you 1096 00:55:27,300 --> 00:55:27,600 all know. 1097 00:55:28,300 --> 00:55:31,700 The salary schedule we brought this up Mr. Villegas. 1098 00:55:31,700 --> 00:55:33,200 We said that we 1099 00:55:34,500 --> 00:55:37,300 in the super is you know gonna present us 1100 00:55:37,300 --> 00:55:37,800 with a 1101 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,500 Plan to compensate. Okay at a 1102 00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:44,600 certain level. All right. I just wanted to clarify that the tractor 1103 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,200 trailer. I believe we purchased it. I know there was 1104 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,700 an issue with transferring the title, but I think we clarified that 1105 00:55:50,700 --> 00:55:53,400 right before we went on break. So I will 1106 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,400 follow up on that tractor trailer because that s*** already be at the campus 1107 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,700 trustee Villa the band parents are you 1108 00:55:59,700 --> 00:56:02,100 know, they're calling me what we'll follow up on 1109 00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:06,100 that it might be getting what we call wrapped to 1110 00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:08,500 represent the school. But the tractor trailer 1111 00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:11,400 should be done deal. I was surprised 1112 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,300 to hear that. It's still an issue. We'll follow up 1113 00:56:14,300 --> 00:56:17,400 with that and make sure it's done on the canopies. I 1114 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,200 know I saw a request for supplies for that. I don't know how 1115 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,400 many or anything but that's being worked on 1116 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:23,700 as well. 1117 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,200 But the questions here with canopies. I 1118 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,300 know that last year when we brought this concern. 1119 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:35,300 The city of San Juan ended up lending a PSJA 1120 00:56:34,300 --> 00:56:38,000 Early College High School one for 1121 00:56:37,300 --> 00:56:40,400 events. I think we need to look at a 1122 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,400 more permanent option. I had 1123 00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:47,100 brought up maybe having our 1124 00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:50,500 own workers soldiers 1125 00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:52,600 some of the structure, you know, 1126 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:53,800 we'll 1127 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,500 Fundraise, you know the school's confirmed will find 1128 00:56:57,500 --> 00:57:00,900 Monies to do a permanent type 1129 00:57:00,900 --> 00:57:03,200 of canopy that can you know, 1130 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,800 because every year we're gonna buy those that get blown by 1131 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,500 the wind and it's not going to be a permanent solution. So 1132 00:57:09,500 --> 00:57:13,100 I think we all agree that it's a 1133 00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:16,000 marching band is not going anywhere and 1134 00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:18,500 it hasn't and right it has that 1135 00:57:18,500 --> 00:57:21,300 the district has you know, so we're going to 1136 00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:23,000 find out we have a situation. 1137 00:57:25,100 --> 00:57:28,400 trustee Gutierrez web situation where unfortunately some 1138 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,700 Example Memorial High School band practices on 1139 00:57:32,700 --> 00:57:34,000 the parking lot, right? 1140 00:57:35,300 --> 00:57:39,000 It's tough. So so in the 1141 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,300 case of Memorial I'm sleeping for elbow. 1142 00:57:42,100 --> 00:57:45,700 It'd be tough to put a permanent canopy in 1143 00:57:45,700 --> 00:57:48,100 their parking lot, which is a student parking lot and we're 1144 00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:52,200 gonna put soccer field baseball fields Etc.
