US. >> THANK YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> PERFECTLY. THANK YOU. >> GREAT.

HELLO, EVERYONE. I HOPE YOU'RE STAYING COOL. A HUGE THANK YOU FOR THE PIVOT TO IN-PERSON SCHOOL. IT WAS SUPER IMPACTFUL TO MY TWO MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS.

THEY WERE HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER AND WORKED MORE AND GOT BETTER GRADES AFTER RETURNING.

I KNOW IT WAS NOT EASY TO MAKE SUCH A BIG CHANGE BUT I'M THANK TESTIMONY YOU GOT IT.

I WAS ALSO PROUD IN READING THE SEATTLE TIMES ART CHEM WE HAD THE SECOND MOST IN-PERSON LEARNING HOURS IN THE STATE. THANK YOU. THE ONLY THING I MISS ABOUT REMOTE SCHOOL WAS MY BOYS COULD SLEEP LATER. THE EARLY START TIMES WERE HARD ON THEM WHEN THEY WENT BACK. THEIR BODIES AND BRAINS SHOULD BE SLEEPING BUT I NEED IT TO WAKE THEM UP EACH DAY. AS I'M SURE YOU ARE AWARE THERE'S NUMEROUS STUDIES THAT WILL SHOW THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A LATER SECONDARY SCHOOL TIME INCLUDING BETTER MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, LESS DEPRESSION, BETTER GRADES, INCREASED FOCUS DURING CLAUSES AND LESS TARDINESS AND DROWSY DREW DRIVING. THEY ARE LISTED IN THE REPORT THAT LWSD COMMISSIONED FROM HANOVER RESEARCH IN '15. I KNOW THERE'S CHALLENGES TO HAVING LATER SECONDARY START TIMES BUT THE BENEFITS TO OUR STUDENTS ARE DEFINITELY WORTH OVERCOMING THEM AND WITH THE PIVOT TO IN-PERSON SCHOOL YOU HAVE PROVEN YOU CAN OVERCOME VALUES FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR TO DO DEBTS. SO I'M HERE TONIGHT TO OFFER WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP YOU PLEASE SERIOUSLY ASK ME AND TO CHEER YOU ON.

I'VE CREATED A VERY CHEESY CHAIR DID WHICH I'LL DO NOW. LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT IS A REALLY GREAT. WE HAVE THE SECOND MOST IN-PERSON LEARNING TIME IN THE STATE. NEXT TACKLES STARTING SECONDARY SCHOOL LATE.

WHEN YOU READ THE RESEARCH THERE'S NO DEBATE. BETTER LEARNING, HEALTH AND SAFETY CORRELATE TO SECONDARY STUDENTS SLEEPING PAST 8:00. A HEALTHIER DAILY SCHEDULE WE CAN CREATE. LET'S GO LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, THERE'S NO TIME TO

[00:10:05]

>> IN MY CHEER I SAID SLEEPING PAST 8:00. OF COURSE I REALIZED THAT MIGHT NOT BE FEASIBLE BUT ANY EXTRA TIME THAT WE CAN LET OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS SLIPE MORE IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN BETTER FOR THEM IN SO MANY WAYS AND I'M TOTALLY WILLING TO HELP BUT AFTER TODAY BECAUSE NOW MY TIME IS OVER AND I'M GOING TO JUMP IN THE LAKE, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTFUL AND PASSIONATE AND FASCINATING ADVOCACY FOR STUDENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US TONIGHT. >> GOOD-BYE.

>> WE HAVE RECEIVED THREE WRITTEN COMMENTS. I WILL READ EACH ALLOUD.

THE FIRST, [INDISCERNIBLE] AND WROTE, I'M WORRIED ABOUT PARENTS WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS. WE WANT TO ADDRESS THE SYSTEMATIC GENERATIONAL TRAUMA THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED. HOW CAN WE MOVE FORWARD IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PAST.

NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF. THAT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OF TEACHING OUR CHILDREN ACCURATE HISTORY. WE WANT TO EMPOWER THEM WITH THE TRUTH SO I ASK PARENTS WHAT HAS YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCE BEEN? HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF BLACK INDIGENOUS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR? THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO UNITE. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THE WORK AHEAD. THANK YOU FOR IT WOULDING. WE ALSO RECEIVED PUBLIC COMMENT FROM ADAM COLEMAN. AND MR. COLEMAN WRITE: I AFENDED THE MAY 17 BOARD MEETING AND ADDRESSED THE BOARD BY MOVING THE START TIME AT RHS. WITH THE BOARD MEETING THIS, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS HERE, IF ANY. I HAVE NOT SEEN COMMUNICATION FROM PARENTS HAVING LOOKED AT YOUR -- AT EARLY DETAILS ON THESE MYSELF.

THERE ARE OTHERS FROM EAST LAKE HIGH SCHOOL PTSA WHO WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE TOPICS FOR THE SAME REASONS. COULD SOMEONE CLARIFY WHAT IT IS ADDRESSING THE SUBJECT GIVEN THE INPUT AND URGENCY FOR CHANGE COMMUNICATED FROM PARENTS IN THE DISTRICT VIA THE SURVEY AND THE CHANGE.ORG POSITION I PUT INTO THE REGARD. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

THANK YOU, MR. COLEMAN. NEXT WAS FROM SHARON RUTH. MS. RUTH WROTE: I'M WRITING IN IF OF THE EQUITY WORK THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY WITH STAFF AND STUDENTS THAT LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOLS. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE MOVED TO HAVE OUR CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOLS IN LAKE W SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS TO HAVE OUR STUDENTS EDUCATED IN A RBILY AND ETHNIC KELLEY DIVERSE ENVIRONMENT.

EDUCATING STUDENTS ABOUT OUR DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES IS IMPORTANT FOR PERSONAL SUCCESS.

TWO PARTS OF LAKE WHAT SCHOOL'S DISTRICT VISION FOR ALL STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT.

I'M ENCOURAGED THE OPPORTUNITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL PROVIDED MORE SUPPORT TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS AND STAFF AND HOPE THE WORK WILL CONTINUER FURTHER DURING THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR. THE RECENT FILM MADE BY LWSD STUDENTS OF COLOR HIGHLIGHTS THAT THERE'S STILL MUCH WORK TO BE DONE TO MAKE EVERY STUDENT FEEL SAFE AND WELCOME AT SCHOOL THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WRITING THIS. WE HAVE RECEIVED NO SIGNUPS FOR IN-PERSON TONIGHT BUT THERE'S A NUMBER OF FOLKS IN ATTENDANCE. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT PERSON? LET'S GET A RAISE OF HANDS? JUST ONE.

SIR, IF YOU COULD COME TO THE FRONT AND DIRECTOR CHRIS CARLSON, DO YOU HAVE THE TIMER TONIGHT? THREE MINUTES. THANK YOU FOR COMING.

>> [SPANISH]. >> FOR THE LATINOS WHO ARE HEARING, THIS IS THE MESSAGE FOR THEM AS WELL. IT'S 105 OR SO OUTSIDE AND IT'S HOT.

THE NORTHWEST IS GOING THROUGH A HEAT WAVE AND THERE'S ANOTHER TYPE OF WAVE THAT IS HAPPENING

[00:15:01]

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE LWSD IN THEIR WEBSITE IS POINTING TO DOCUMENTATION THAT SHOWS PICTURES LIKE THIS OF A SO-CALLED GENDER DIVERSE CHILD. THIS IS A BOY DRESSED AS A GIRL.

THIS IS A BOY DRESSED AS A GIRL AND THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT IS PROMOTING IT BY POSTING IT ON THEIR WEBSITE. THE OTHER THING THAT I DISCOVERED IS THAT THEY'RE USING TERMS LIKE GENDER DIVERSE. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. WELL, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE OTHER DOCUMENTATION THAT'S SHOWN FOR SIXTH GRADERS THEY'RE SHOWING, THEY'RE RIMMING, THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT IS RECOMMENDING BOOKS, TRANSGENDER AND GENDER NONCONFORMING WOMEN OF COLOR. THIS IS FOR SIXTH GRADERS. FOR FIFTH GRADERS, MISGENDERRING AND RESPECT OF PRONOUNCE. WHAT DOES MISGENDERRING MEAN? LISTEN TO THE CONCEPT.

THEY WANT TO CONTROL LANGUAGE. THEY WANT TO USE THE LANGUAGE TO FORCE SOMEONE TO SPEAK IN A WAY THAT IS OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY KNOW IS TRUE. THAT IS ALSO KNOWN AS LYING.

WHEN YOU SPEAK UNKNOWINGLY FALSEHOOD AND REFER TO SOMEONE WITH A PRONOUN THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY KNOW IS TRUE, THIS IS A LIE AND IT'S BEING PROPOSED THROUGH THERE.

FINALLY, CRITICAL RACE THEORY, THIS IS AN ANTI-RIGHT PROPAGANDA, ANTIWHITE PROPAGANDA THAT'S INTENDED TO ENCOURAGE CITIZENS TO JUDGE NOT BY THE CONTENT OF SOMEONE'S CHARACTER BUT BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. THIS IS NOT RIGHTEOUS, THIS IS UNRIGHTEOUS SO I'M HERE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE SLEEPING GIANT HAS AWOKEN AND I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF PARENTS ACROSS THE NATION WHO ARE NOT GOING TO STAND SILENTLY. I JUST DISCOVERED THIS.

I HAV 20 SECONDS. YOU ARE ON NOTICE. THE SLEEPING GIANT HAS BEEN AWOKEN. CHRIS, SIRI, CASSANDRA, ERIC, JOHN, MR. MARK STUART, YOU ARE NOTICED. THE SLEEPING GIANT AWOKEN. REMOVE THIS GARBAGE FROM YOUR LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD INFORMATION, THE WEBSITE OR YOU WILL BE FACING THE AWOKENNED GIANT AND STRIPPED OF YOUR POWER AT THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY WHICH IS WITH OUR

VOTE. THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE WANT TO TALK

TONIGHT? >> GOD BLESS YOU. >> JESUS CHRIST, HE'S THE ANSWER TO ALL MY PROBLEMS. I KNOW THIS IS NOT MY TIME. I WANT TO SAY JOHN 3:16.

HE LOVES US. LOVE YOU SISTER, LOVE YOU BROTHER.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL. >> THANK YOU, EVERYONE, WHO PROVIDED PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT?

[E. Consent Agenda]

>> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS APPROVAL OF THE JUNE 28, '21 CONSENT AGENDA.

I WILL NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> IF I MAY I WOULD LIKE TO

ACTUALLY MOVE TO OF TWO ITEMS FROM THE CAN SEND AGENDA. >> PLEASE.

>> OPERATION EXPECTATIONS TEN AND OPERATIONAL EXPECTATION FOUR.

WHICH IS IN REGARDS TO THE ACTUAL INDICATORS. OPERATION TEN IS THE MONITORING

REPORT ITSELF. >> THOSE HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.

>> WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS AMENDED WITH THOSE TWO ITEMS OUT.

>> DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER HAS MOVED THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS AMENDED TO REMOVE OE10 AND OE 4 FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA. IS THERE A SECOND?

>> SECOND. >> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER AND SECONDED BY DIRECTOR CASSANDRA SAGE THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS AMENDED.

[00:20:01]

PLEASE POLL THE BOARD. >> DIRECTOR CHRIS CARLSON. >> YES.

>> DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER. >> YES. >> DIRECTOR CASSANDRA SAGE.

>> YES. >> VICE PRESIDENT MARK STUART. >> YES.

>> PRESIDENT ERIC LALIBERTE. >> YES. >> THE MOTION CARRIES.

WILL YOU PLEASE SUMMARIZE THE DONATIONS. >> I WANT TO THANK PTSA AND PRIVATE SOURCES FOR CONTINUING TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR OUR SCHOOLS AND DISTRICT TOTALING $20,000. WE APPRECIATE THAT AND WE'LL PUT THAT TO GOOD USE FOR OUR

[F. Non-Consent Agenda]

STUDENTS. THANK YOU. >> THE FIRST ITEM ON THE CONSENT AGENDA IS THE '20, '21 CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BUDGET EXTENT SHUCK, PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION 2316. PLEASE LEAD US THROUGH THIS, DOCTOR?

>> SHOULD WE DEAL WITH SIX AND 101ST? >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THAT?

>> I BELIEVE DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER HAS SOME QUESTIONS AND REQUEST FOR FOLLOW-UP ON OE 4, THE INDICATORS, E10, THE MONITORING REPORT AND IF WE COULD COVER THAT, THEN, YES,

THAT WILL WOULD BE GREAT. >> WE'LL TAKE IT IN THAT ORDER THEN.

>> THANK YOU. DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE CHANGES

OR THE REQUESTS YOU MADE REGARDING THESE OES. >> YES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AS WE'RE IN THE PROCESS -- FOR OE 4, PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION AND THE ISSUE INDICATORS AROUND THAT, THE FEW QUESTIONS I HAD ON 4.1 YOU HAD MENTIONED -- YOU LISTED THE INDICATOR AS BEING 100 PERCENT OF NEW EMPLOYEES ARE SCREENED THROUGH OSPI'S REFERENCE CHECK AND MY QUESTION WAS DO WE EVER DO ADDITIONAL SCREENINGS FIVE YEARS AFTER SOMEBODY HAS BEEN STAFFED, KNOWING OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE SCREENED EVERY TWO YEARS & IT WAS SORT OF MORE OF A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE PROCESS THERE SO IF THAT INDICATOR SHOULD BE

CHANGED, I HAVE NO IDEA, SO I WAS ASKING. >> .

>> IT IS -- LET ME GIVE-WHAT I BELIEVE AND THEN I'LL FOLLOW UP. SO RIGHT NOW ANY TIME AN EMPLOYEE IS NEW TO THE DISTRICT WE GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND THROUGH THE PROCESS OF OBSERVATION EVALUATION AND ALL OF THOSE FEESES. THAT HOW WE MONITOR BUT I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE HR TEAM TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM ACCURATE IN WHAT I AM SAYING.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YES.

>> THE NEXT QUESTION WAS OE4.3 WHERE YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT ADDRESSING DIVERSITY AND REPUTATION WITHIN ALL WORK AREAS AND SO MY QUESTION: WERE THERE ANY FOCUS AREAS SPECIFICALLY IN

REGARDS TO THAT? >> LET ME FOLLOW UP WITH DR. ROSS TO MAKE SURE I'M

PROVIDED ACCURATE INFORMATION ON THAT. >> OKAY.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANOTHER ONE FOR YOU, OE4.5, THE TIME FRAME TO REVIEW THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS. IS IT WITHIN EVERY FIVE YEARS THEY'VE BEEN REVIEWED? AS-NEEDED? IT WAS A LITTLE GENERIC AND DIDN'T SET A REAL CLEAR

INDICATOR FOR US TO WORK WITH THAT. >> DR. ROSS IS SETTING A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME RIGHT NOW AND SO I WILL SEE IF WE CAN INCLUDE THAT NOW BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE FOR MONITORING OF THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

>> SO FOR THE FUTURE THAT WILL BE BUILT IN. >> YES.

>> OKAY. >> YOU HAD MENTIONED WITH OE4.7, DISTRICT RETENTION METRICS IN ALIGNMENT WITH INDUSTRY AVERAGES AND HAD REMOVED THE SURVEY SO IN LOOKING THROUGH THERE WAS SOME INDICATORS THAT WERE REMOVED AND THERE WAS A SURVEY QUESTION ABOUT WHY THEY WERE STAYING OR LEAVING IN REGARDS TO THE RETURNTION AND IT WILL WOULD SEEM THAT WE WOULD WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THAT AND WE WOULD WANT TO POTENTIALLY DISAGGREGATING TO WHO IS LEADING SO WE CAN LOOK AT THAT REATTENTION PIECE IN REGARDS TO ABSTAINING OUR STAFF APPROPRIATELY. DON'T KNOW HOW THAT INDICATOR WOULD FALL OUT THERE.

>> I BELIEVE THE DATA YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WAS A SURVEY THAT WAS TYPICALLY DONE DURING COVID.

AND SO I BELIEVE THAT'S THE SURVEY THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUT I'LL FOLLOW UP ON THAT AS

WELL. >> WILL WE BE DOING THAT SURVEY NEXT YEAR?

>> WITHOUT HAVING IT IN FRONT OF ME, I BELIEVE THIS IS THE PROGRAM SURVEY YOU'RE REFERRING

TO. -- [CROSSTALK] -- >> WE'LL GET BACK IN OUR NORMAL

[00:25:01]

CYCLE OF OUR STAFF PROGRAM SURVEY NEXT YEAR. >> SO THE REASON THAT'S BEING REMOVED AS AN INDICATOR IS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T COLLECT THE DATA.

>> CORRECT. >> THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL AS WE GO THROUGH SOME OF THESE TO UNDERSTAND THE PIECES THAT DUE TO COVID AND NOT BEING ABLE TO COMPLETE, IF IT'S REMOVED, AND IF IT'S COMING BACK OR NOT BECAUSE I THINK THE LOSS OF PERCEPTION IN THE INDICATORS WAS

PART OF THE ISSUE. >> OKAY. >> I HAD QUESTIONS ON FOUR, EIGHT, NINE AND TEN, THEY SORT OF ALL COMBINE AROUND EVALUATIONS AND HOW THEY WERE UTILIZED AND SO IN THE POLICY THE EMPLOYERS ARE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT AND CARRY OUT THEIRS JOB RESPONSIBILITIES ASSIGNED TO THEM WHICH IS WHERE EVALUATION WOULD BE IMPORTANT AND IT WASN'T CLEAR TO ME THAT THERE WAS CLEAR FOCUS AS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE CLASSROOM AS MUCH AS, YES, WE HAVE A PLAN AND PROCESS TO TRAIN AND WE DO AN EVALUATION BUT THE QUESTION IS DO THEY IMPLEMENT WHAT IS GOING ON WITHIN THE CLASSROOM. SO THOSE ALL SORT OF OVERLAPPED IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND YOU HAD REMOVED THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS FOUND TO BE PROFICIENT AS AN INDICATOR AND SEEING THAT THAT WOULD BE A VALUABLE INDICATOR TO BE KEEPING.

>> LOOKING ON THE SIT REC TO SEE IF I CAN ANSWER THAT BASED ON -- LET ME FOLLOW UP ON THAT.

THANK YOU. >> THAT WAS WHY I ASKED THE QUESTIONS.

>> I'LL JUST SAY THAT IN LOOKING THROUGH THESE BEFORE THE MEETING I HAD SOME QUESTIONS THAT YOU ACTUALLY ASKED AND IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO GET FOLLOW-UP ON SO I DO NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL CONCERNS GIVEN THAT WE ARE GOING TO HEAR SOMETHING BACK.

>> AND SO, YOU KNOW, MY THOUGHT IS WE JUST PULL THIS, AND I'LL GET THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND

WE'LL JUST BRING IT BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING. >> I THINK THE IDEA IS WE'LL

TAKE NO ACTION ON OE 4 TONIGHT. >> CORRECT. >> IS EVERYONE OKAY WITH THAT? OKAY. MOTION FOR THAT TO TAKE NO ACTION?

>> NO. >> DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER YOU ALSO ASKED TO DISCUSS OE10.

>> YES. IN THE PROCESS -- AS WE DO THESE MONITORING REPORTS THESE ARE SORT OF THE KEY POINTS SO OUR VALUES ARE HERE AND THEN AS THE INDICATORS COME FORWARD IT'S LOOKING TO SEE HOW THE VALUES ARE ADDRESSED. TEN IS LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND TREATMENT OF STUDENTS AND THIS IS A TOPIC WE TALK ABOUT IN MANY WAYS ESPECIALLY AS WE TALK ABOUT INCLUSIVETY AND WELL-BEING, THOSE THINGS ALL FALL INTO HERE. AS I WAS READING THROUGH THEM AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGH NEWLY WRITTEN POLICIES AS WELL AS WE TRY TO MANAGE THESE THROUGH HERE SO THE QUESTION THAT I CAME UP WITH, AS I WAS RIDING THROUGH AND I APPRECIATE THE PLACES WHERE IT WAS CLEAR, COMPONENTS THAT WERE NOT COMPLIANT BASED ON DIFFERENT THINGS. WHAT WAS MISSING WEREN'T I SAW NONCOMPLIANT IS WHAT WERE THE STEPS WE WERE GOING TO TAKE IN ORDER TO BRING THAT INTO COMPLIANCE AND SO SOME SPECIFICS, AND I WAS TRYING TO USE TECHNOLOGY AND THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY MISTAKES.

10.2, THE INDICATOR WAS 80 PERCENT OF STUDENTS INDICATED ON THE PANORAMA SURVEY, THAT THEY LEAVE THE SCHOOL, A PLACE REFLECTING INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

IT WAS STATED AS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT. SO MY QUESTION FROM THERE WOULD BE SO WHAT DOES THE WORK THAT GOES WITH THAT AND I WOULD BE INTERESTED IF THERE WAS DIFFERENCES IN REGARDS TO HOW THAT IS ACROSS THE DIFFERENT GROUPS, RACE, ETHNICITY, INCOME, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE PANORAMA HAS CAPACITY TO DO THAT BUT THAT WAS MY QUESTION SO THAT WE JUST DON'T ADMIRE A PROBLEM, THAT WE'RE CLEAR, IF IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE, WHETHER THE STEPS

AND ACTIONS ARE TAKEN GOING FORWARD. >> GIVEN OUR MONITORING REPORT,

WHERE DO YOU BELIEVE -- WHAT'S THE BEST PLACE TO LOCATE THAT? >> POTENTIALLY THAT IS AN APPENDIX AT THE END, BECOMES A PROBLEMATIC DESCRIPTION TO SOME EXTENT BUT YOU COULD PLACE IN AND HEAR THE THOUGHTS GOING FORWARD UNDER THE AREA OF EVIDENCE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING

[00:30:02]

TO BE PURSUING THIS AND WE'VE DONE THAT. >> YOUR QUESTIONS WERE ESSENTIALLY WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THE AREAS OF NONCOMPLIANCE?

>> THAT WAS MY BIG QUESTION, WAS. >> I'LL MAKE SURE TO BRING THAT BACK AT OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING AS WELL AS AN APPENDIX TO OE10 AND I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT TAKING

ACTION TONIGHT. >> I AGREE. I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME THING. I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO COME BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING FOR REVIEW AND I THINK THIS GOES WITHOUT SAYING BUT IT WILL BE ON THE NONCONSENT AGENDA.

>> ALSO THE PANORAMA SURVEY SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE INTERESTING DATA TO BE ABLE TO JUST LEARN MORE ABOUT IN GENERAL AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE A STUDY SESSION AT SOME POINT. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR WE DID IT.

>> YES. AND WE USED IT WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THIS YEAR, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. OUR FALL SURVEY NORTH OF 16,000 STUDENTS RESPONDED.

>> I THINK THAT WE HAVE THE HEALTHY USE SURVEY THAT WE OFTEN ITEM ON THE AGENDA LIDS AND SEEMS TO FALL INTO ANOTHER AREA AND IT MIGHT JUST BE INTERESTING, SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FOR THE AGENDA GOING FORWARD AS WE LOOK TOWARDS THE WHOLE WELL-BEING AND INCLUSIVETY. AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

>> OKAY. >> JUST A COMMENT, I THINK IT'S REALLY HELPFUL TO HAVE

MONITORING REPORTS BE A DISCUSSION. >> SIMILAR COMMENT.

WE HAVE HAD THESE ON THE NONCONSENT AGENDA FOR THE -- THE OES FOR A WHILE NOW AND I THINK THAT'S -- I THINK THAT WE MAY WANT TO REVISIT THAT AS A PRACTICE.

I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS -- THIS IS THE WORK OF THE BOARD, RIGHT, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE MORE ROBUST CONVERSATION AROUND THESE POLICIES SO I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO RETHINK AS WE BRING THESE FORWARD.

I SEE SOME HEAD NODDING. >> AGREED. I THINK THERE'S IMPORTANT -- AS WE GO, THIS IS THE CONTEST OF HOW WE LOOK AT A ORGANIZATION CONTINUALLY OVER THE YEAR, AS WE HAVE THE DISCUSSION THAT GIVES US THE POINTS TO PULL OUT TO THINK ABOUT AS TO WHAT IS THAT WORK PLAN AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO AND FOCUSING ON GOING

FORWARD. >> AS WE THINK ABOUT OUR WORK PLAN FOR THE NEXT ACADEMIC YOU'RE AND HOW ARE MEETINGS WILL BE STRUCTURED I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE TO BRING THROUGH. I THINK THAT'S -- I'M HEARING FROM MOST OF THE BOARD THAT'S THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO GO. OKAY. EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT FORWARD, DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER. THOSE ARE GREAT QUESTIONS.

THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE -- ON THE HORN CONSENT AGENDA IS THE '20, '21 CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BUNCH EXTENSION AND A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 3216.

DR. HOLEMAN, PLEASE START. >> THERE'S TIMES DIRK THE BUDGET YEAR WHERE WE NEED TO COME TO THE BOARD FOR BUDGET EXTENSION. SO THE DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS SERVICES IS HERE TO SHARE WITH YOU INFORMATION ABOUT THAT SO THAT WE CAN HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT RESOLUTION

2316. CHRIS? >> SO THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF THE '20, '21 CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BUDGET BOARD OF DIRECTORS ESTABLISHED AND AUTHORIZATION OF THE $132.9 MILLION. MAY 4, '21, THE DISTRICT PURCHASED THE PARK 188 PROPERTY IN REDMOND FOR $40 MILLION. THE DISTRICT DOES HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THAT PURCHASE.

WE'RE COMING HERE TONIGHT TO ADOPT THE BUDGET TO INCREASE THE EXPENDITURE AUTHORIZATION FOR THOSE BEFORE ALL THE FUNDS ARE SPENT LATER IN THE YEAR. IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE EXPENDITURES FOR THE PARK 188 PROPERTY THE '21 CAPITAL PROJECTS BUDGET HAS BEEN RECITESSED, BEGINNING FUND BALANCE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT ACTUAL BEGINNING NUMBERED BALANCE, THE ADJUSTMENT TO REVENUE IS UPDATED TO REFLECT ADDITIONAL $4 MILLION COLLECTED FOR THE STATE CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE, IMPACT FEES FOR '20, '21, AND EXPENDITURES ARE INCREASED BY $25 MILLION BASED UPON EXPENDITURES PROJECTIOUS INCLUSIVE OF THE $40 MILLION

[00:35:08]

EXPENDITURES FROM 132.9 MILLION TO 157.9 MILLION. >> GREAT.

ANY FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS FOR CHRIS OR FOR ANYONE ELSE? DIRECTOR SAGE.

>> JUST A GENERAL QUESTION. THE EXPENSES INVOLVED -- THERE WERE SOME EXPENSES INVOLVED THAT WENT BEYOND THE COST OF THE PROPERTY, CORRECT? I MEAN, WE HAVE ADDITIONAL COSTS THAN JUST THE COST OF THE PROPERTY ITSELF, SO IS IT FACTORED IN THE DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS THAT THE CITIES WILL HAVE TO DO AND THE -- I THINK IT'S A CEPA ASSESSMENT.

THAT'S PROBABLY A BARBARA THING. >> WE DID HAVE LEGAL CAUSE AS PART OF THE PURCHASE AND THE SITE EVALUATION COSTS. WE HAD FUNDS SET ASIDE IN A SITE ACCOUNT SO THOSE -- WE USED THOSE EXTRA INTEREST EARNINGS AND EXTRA FUNDS FOR THAT SO THAT IS NOT REFLECTED IN THE 40 MILLION BUDGET ADDITION BUT IT'S PART OF THE BUDGET CAPACITY THAT WE HAVE.

>> THANK YOU. I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING.

SOMETIMES I TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ADDITIONAL COSTS AND WHERE THAT

MONEY IS COMING FROM, SO I APPRECIATE THAT. >> YEP.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? OKAY.

THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE '20, '21 CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BUDGET. STATE STATUTE REQUIRE THE BOARD HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT THE BUDGET EXTENSION BY RESOLUTION.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD ON THIS TOPIC? SEEING NO ONE HAS COME FORWARD THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

AT THIS TIME THE BOARD WILL TAKE ACTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2316, AUTHORIZING THE SUPERINTENDENT TO INCREASE THE '20, '21 CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND EXPENDITURE BUDGET FROM $132,906,498, TO $157,906,498. RESOLUTION 2316 IS IN OUR BOARD PACKET.

I'LL NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THE BOARD TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2316 FOR EXTENSION OF THE '20,

'21 CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BALANCE AS PRESENTED. >> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND. >> SO MOVED BY DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER AND SECONDED BY DIRECTOR CHRIS CARLSON THAT WE APPROVE -- THE BOARD ADOPT THE RESOLUTIONS.

ARE THERE ANY BOARD MEMBER QUESTIONS OR FOLLOW-UPS ON THE MOTION?

>> JUST A CLARIFICATION FOR THE PUBLIC. THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE WE'RE SHIFTING 25 MILLION FROM ONE BUDGET INTO ANOTHER. IT'S NOT A $25 MILLION

ADDITIONAL TAXES. >> NO. IT'S NOT ADDITIONAL TAXES.

WE'RE ACTUALLY JUST CHANGING THE EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND SO AGAIN WE HAD THE REVENUES, HAD THE CASH. WHEN WE BUILT THE BUDGET LAST YEAR WE WEREN'T ANTICIPATING THIS PURCHASE AND SO IT WASN'T BUILT INTO THE BUDGET.

-- [CROSSTALK] -- >> HOW MANY ACRES WAS THIS PROPERTY?

>> IT'S 26, 25 -- [CROSSTALK] -- >> THAT IS WHY WE'RE MOVING IT AROUND.

>> A CLARIFICATION QUESTION. IT'S NOT A QUESTION BUT A COMMENT.

WE'RE NOT ADDING ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES HERE TONIGHT. WE'RE JUST MAKING --

[00:40:02]

IT'S DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW, THE RESOLUTIONS. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> OKAY. ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER QUESTIONS OR FOLLOW-UP? IT'S BEEN MOVED BY DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER AND SECONDED BY DIRECTOR CHRIS CARLSON THAT THE BOARD ADOPT RESOLUTION 2316 FOR EXTENSION OF THE '20, '21 CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BUDGET.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY VOTING YES. [VOTE]

THE MOTION CARRIES. >> THANK YOU. THE NEXT ITEM FOR THIS EVENING IS THE FIRST READING OF THE '21, '22 BUDGET. PLEASE GET US STARTED, DOCTOR.

>> YES. AS THE BOARD KNOWS WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH OUR BUDGET PROCESS OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND SO TONIGHT WE BRING TO YOU THE FIRST READING OF OUR PROPOSED '21, '22 BUDGET AND TO PRESENT THAT I WELCOME BARBARA TO THE MICROPHONE, AND CHRIS AND MYSELF WILL ALSO BE PARTICIPATING IN THIS. BARBARA.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M VERY EXCITED TO PRESENT OUR PROPOSED BUDGET.

THE LEGISLATURE COMPLETED THEIR WORK ON TIME THIS YEAR AND SO THAT WAS HENFUL FOR US TO GET OUR BUDGET READY ALSO ON TIME. SO THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET ADOPTED.

THE MAJOR CHANGE IS THE IMPACT OF THE ENROLLMENT DECLINE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC SO YOU'LL SEE THAT REFLECTED AS CHRIS GOES THROUGH THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION, IT'S DOWN ABOUT -- WE'RE PROJECTING IT TO BE DOWN NEXT YEAR ABOUT 3.5 PERCENT OVER THERE WE THOUGHT.

A LOT OF THAT ENROLLMENT DECLINE HAPPENED THIS YEAR AND SO WE'RE EXPECTING THAT'S TO CONTINUE NEXT YEAR. THE LEGISLATURE CHANGES WERE NOT A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. THEY DID PROVIDE SOME COVID RELIEF THAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR BUT THEY PROVIDED AN ANNUAL IPD, COLA INCREASE FOR STAFF AND THEY PROVIDED MINOR REDUCTIONS IN RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS AND EMPLOYER FUNDED HEALTH BENEFITS BUT THOSE WERE OFFSET BY ALSO EXPENDITURE REDUCTIONS FOR THOSE COSTS.

TONIGHT YOU HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH OUR BUDGET AWARD FORMAT, BUDGET DOCUMENT, AND NORMALLY I WOULD SAY TO YOU THAT WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY ADOPTING IS WHAT'S CALLED THE STATE FORMAT.

YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT BUDGET DOCUMENT TONIGHT BECAUSE THE STATE IS -- THEY DID SOME MAJOR REPROGRAMMING OF THE F 1-95 AND AT THIS TIME THERE'S SOME GLITCHES IN IT AND SO WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT TO YOU OR IF WE DID IT WOULD HAVE NOT BALANCED NUMBERS IN IT SO WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SO I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THE POLICIES, PROCESS AND TIMELINE AND CHRIS WILL GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF FUNDS.

BEFORE I GET STARTED I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE HARD WORK OF CHRIS AND THE BUDGET OFFICE STAFF.

LIN PIKE IS RETIRING, AND THIS IS HER LAST BUDGET THAT SHE PUT TOGETHER AND SHE'S RETIRING JULY 30 AFTER 30 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE DISTRICT SO I JUST WANT TO RECOGNIZE HER FOR ALL OF HER WORK AND IN THE AUDIENCE WE HAVE KEVIN SIMON WHO IS REPLACING HER.

KEVIN WILL START WITH US LATER THIS WEEK AND HE DECIDED TO JOIN US AND WATCH OUR BUDGET PRESENTATION AND START LEARNING ABOUT HIS NEW ROLE SO WE'RE EXPECTED TO HAVE HIM.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS AND FIRST TALK ABOUT OUR BUDGET POLICIES, PROCESS AND TIMELINE THAT DRIVE OUR BUDGET PROCESS. THEY DRIVE OUR WORK.

THE POLICY, 6,000, ABOUT BUDGET SHARINGS, REVIEW AND ADOPTION, THAT PROVIDES, YOU KNOW, THE

[00:45:03]

SO THE BUDGET ADOPTION MUST BE PRESENTED IN A PUBLIC HEARING NO LATER THAN AUGUST 31 SO WE'LL HAVE THAT PUBLIC HEARING IN AUGUST AND THEN WE HAVE AN ANNUAL BUDGET MEETING AND AGAIN THAT HAPPENS IN AUGUST. AND THEN THE BUDGET IS ALSO DRIVEN BY OE 5, OUR FINANCIAL PLANNING AND OUTLINES THE BUDGET, THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL DEVELOP A BUDGET THAT IS UNDERSTANDABLE BY THE BOARD AND COMMUNITY, DESCRIBES REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES, SHOWS THE MOUNTS SPENT AND DISCLOSES ASSUMPTIONS, ASSURES FISCAL SOUNDNESS, AND I WON'T READ ALL OF THESE BUT PROVIDES FOR ANTICIPATED CHANGES AND REASONABLE CONSULTATION WITH THE APPROPRIATE GROUPS AND PROVIDES FOR ANTICIPATED YEAR-END FUND BALANCE OF NOT LESS THAN 5 PERCENT. OUR TIMELINE TONIGHT, WE'RE PROVIDING THE BUDGET PRESENTATION AND IT'S AVAILABLE ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE OR CALL THE BUDGET OFFICE FOR COPIES. WE DO HAVE COPIES HERE TONIGHT AND AUGUST 9 WE'LL BE HOLDING THE PUBLIC HEARING. AUGUST 23RD WE'LL DO FORMAL BOARD ACTION.

>> IF YOU WANT TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND ASK FOR A COPY OF THE BUDGET YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO THAT. MOST PEOPLE I WOULD ASSUME CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND OBTAIN THAT BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO GET A PAPER COPY FROM THE BUDGET OFFICE.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO

CHRIS AND HE'LL GO OVER, JUST DO A REVIEW OF OUR BUDGET. >> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BARBARA. DISTRICT BUDGET IS MADE UP OF FIVE DIFFERENT FUNDS, THE GENERAL FUND, ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY FUND AND DEBT SERVICE FUNDS, TO NAME A FEW.

WE'LL DO A QUICK OVERVIEW OF EACH. THE AMOUNTS YOU SEE LEER ARE THE EXPENDITURE BUDGETS THAT WE'LL BE REQUESTING YOUR APPROVAL IN AUGUST AND THE TOTAL OF ALL THE FUNDS, 673.3 MILLION. THE STUDENT BODY FUND, THE BUDGET EXPENDITURES OF $6.7 MILLION, EACH SCHOOL PREPARES THEIR BUDGETS INDIVIDUALLY, THEIR BUDGET PLAN INDIVIDUALLY FOR THE YEAR. THOSE BUDGETS INCLUDE THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES FOR EACH OF THE SCHOOLS AND THE REVENUES INCLUDE FUNDRAISERS, SALES AND REVENUES FROM SPORTS.

DEBT SERVICE FUND IS BUDGET AUTHORIZATION FOR 78.6 MILLION. THE BUDGET EXPENDITURES INCLUDE PRINCIPAL AND INTERESTS FOR PREVIOUSLY SOLD BONDS AND A $4 MILLION CONTINGENCY.

MONEY CAN'T BE USED FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS.

[00:50:02]

REVENUES INCLUDE 2,018, CAPITAL FACILITIES AND LEVY. REVENUES INCLUDE INVESTMENT EARNINGS AND IMPACT FEES AND STATE AND SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE DOLLARS FROM THE STATE. WE'VE ALSO IN THE BUDGET REFLECTED THE AMOUNTS FOR THE CAPITAL PROJECTS MONTHS TO BE TRANSFERRED FROM CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND TO THE GENERAL FUND FOR ONGOING TECHNOLOGY AND TRAINING AND APPLICATIONS DUE TO THE STATE ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS TO RECORD THAT AS A TRANSFER AND SAME THING FOR THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND DOLLARS THAT GO TO THE DEBT SERVICE FOR THE LGO BOND PRINCIPLE. THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR NEXT YEAR INCLUDE THE '16 BOND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WHICH IS CLOSING OUT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND REBUILD. OUR '18 FOUR-YEAR LEVY PROJECTS, FOR THE BUILDING SYSTEMS AND IMPROVEMENTS. FLOORING AND ROOFING REPLACEMENTS, UPGRADES TO HVAC, PAINTING, ET CETERA, CODE COMPLIANCE AND HEALTH AND SAFETY, PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS, SITE IMPROVEMENTS FOR ATHLETICS AND PLAY FIELD UPGRADES AND THEN TECHNOLOGY LEVYIES FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY AND BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE LAST ONE WE'LL COVER NOW BEFORE THE GENERAL FUND IS TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE FUND OF $1.5 MILLION.

THIS IS AUTHORIZATION TO REPLACE TEN BUSES. THE REVENUES THAT WE GET ARE FROM STATE DEPRECIATION DOLLARS FOR BUS REPLACEMENT AND THEN ALSO OUR INVESTMENT EARNINGS ON THE BALANCE. OUR LAST TRANSPORTATION LEVY WAS IN '01 SO WE'RE STILL USING THE

FUNDS IN THIS FUND PLUS THE STATE DEPRECIATION. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

ROUGH MATH. TEN BUSES, EXPENDITURES, 1.5 MILLION.

IS IT $150,000 FOR BUS? >> THERE'S SOME BUDGET CAPACITY BUILT INTO THAT BUT, YEAH, IT'S

ROUGHLY OVER. >> OKAY. AND THEN PASS IT ON TO JOHN TO

TAKE OTHER THE STRATEGIC WORK AND RESOURCE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHRIS.

AS THE BOARD KNOWS THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING BUDGET AT THIS POINT IN TIME FOR THE DISTRICT JUST GIVEN A, WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR STRATEGIC EFFORTS, BUT ALSO JUST WITH OUR ENROLLMENT DECLINE WITH CHANGE IN LEVY STRUCTURES. THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT REASONS WHY THIS IS A UNIQUE BUDGET YEAR AND SO APPRECIATE 80 ALL THE WORK THAT WENT ON TO IDENTIFY SOME OF OUR MOST KEY BUDGET ITEMS KNOWING THAT OVER TIME WE HAVE A LARGE FUND BALANCE NOW AND WE'RE USING THAT FUND BALANCE TO FUND A NUMBER OF OUR STRATEGIC EFFORTS THAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT KNOWING THAT OVER TIME THERE'LL HAVE TO BE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS BUT GIVEN OUR FUND BALANCE WE'RE CAPITALIZING ON THAT AND TONIGHT I'LL SHARE WITH YOU, AS I DID A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AT THE STUDY SESSION, THE STRATEGIC WORK AND RESOURCE ALIGNMENT IN THOSE AREAS. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE TEAM AND REALLY OUR DISTRICT FOR THE ONGOING AWARD OF THE MERITORIOUS BUDGET AWARD. IT'S NOT ABOUT COMPLETED YOUR BUDGET, GOOD JOB. IT'S ABOUT DOING IT IN A THOUGHTFUL MANNER, A MANNER THAT IS PROVIDED IN A MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY VERSION, IF YOU'VE EVER READ THE F 1 95, YOU COULDN'T

[00:55:06]

IT'S A COMPLEX DOCUMENT AND SOY TAKING THE TIME TO ACTUALLY PUT IT INTO A FORMAT THAT IS READABLE BY THOSE THAT AREN'T BUDGET EXPERTS BUT ALSO DOING ALIGNMENT WITH OUR STRATEGIC WORK AND THOSE RESOURCES THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING SO ALL OF THOSE ARE PARTS AND COMPONENTS OF THE MERITORIOUS BUDGET AWARD SO THE ONGOING COMMITMENT TO BE TRANSPARENT IN OUR BUDGET PROCESS, ALIGNING OUR RESOURCES WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THOSE EFFORTS AND WHATNOT.

AND SO A LONG PROCESS TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY, A LOT OF CONVERSATION AND WORK LISTENING TO OUR COMMUNITY, THINKING ABOUT OUR STRATEGIC GOALS AND EFFORTS, WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH FOR KIDS TO REACH. THIS THERE'S SOME KEY DRIVERS THAT WE REALLY KEPT AT THE CENTER OF OUR BUDGET DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. ONE IS OUR MISSION AND VISION FOR STUDENTS.

THE MISSION OF ALL STUDENTS, EACH AND EVERY ONE HAVING THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO GRADUATE FROM OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, PRIORING FOR THEIR NEXT STEP IN LIFE AND THE VISION THAT WILL EVERY STUDENT IS FUTURE READY, PREPARED TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEIR LIFE.

THAT REALLY WAS A DRIVER FOR US. OUR BOARD'S RESULTS POLICIES THAT INCORPORATES OUR MISSION AND VISION BUT ALSO THE ACADEMIC AND SEL COMPONENTS OF A STUDENT AND ENSURING THAT WE ARE ALIGNING OUR STRATEGIC BUDGET ALLOCATIONS WITH THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF OUR BOARD RESULTS POLICIES. AS WE THINK ABOUT STUDENTS TRANSITIONING BACK FROM THE PANDEMIC KNOWING THAT WE HAVE A LARGE STRATEGIC PLAN BUT KNOWING THAT FOCUSING ON A FEW KEY WHAT WE'RE CALLING STRATEGIC PILLARS, FOCUSING OR TRAINING AND WORK WITH STAFF AND BUDGET ALLOCATIONS SO ADOPTING MULTI-TEARED SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT PROVIDES THE ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL BEHAVIORAL SYSTEM IN OUR SCHOOLS TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE STUDENTS ARE, BE ABLE TO RESPONDS TO THAT WITH ACADEMIC SUPPORTS OR OTHER SUPPORTS OR WORK AROUND INCLUSIVE PRACTICES AND THEN GROUNDED IN OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT AS WE THINK ABOUT OUR STRATEGIC WORK THERE'S KIND OF THAT BASELINE ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY AND SUCCESS THAT WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

WE ARE AN EMPLOYER OF 4500 INDIVIDUALS. WE HAVE LARGE BUSIESES.

WE HAVE 31,000 STUDENTS THAT WE IF. AND SO WE ALSO HAVE TO THINK ABOUT REALLY THAT FOUNDATIONAL PIECES THAT HELP THE ORGANIZATION TO CONTINUE TO FUNCTION AND SO I THOUGHT ABOUT THOSE PIECES AS WELL. AND SO WHY STRATEGIC PILLARS? THEY HELP US FOCUS ON SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AND ELEVATING INCLUSIVE PRACTICES AND BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS, INCLUDING STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND FOCUS ON THE STUDENT EXPERIENCES AND OUTCOMES.

THAT'S WHAT THE STRATEGIC PILLARS ARE ABOUT. WITHIN EACH OF THOSE AREAS WHAT ARE ADDITIONALLY BUDGET RESOURCES THAT WE ALLOCATED TOWARDS THOSE STRATEGIC OUTCOMES. DOLLARS BEING ALLOCATED TO MAKE SURE EACH SCHOOL HAS THE TIME NEEDED TO GO THROUGH EVALUATION PROCESSES, REALLY AROUND THE MTSS FRAMEWORK TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE CONTINUING ON THAT PATHWAY TO HAVE A FULL MULTI-TEARED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT TO ADDRESS STUDENT NEEDS. LITERACY IS FOUNDATIONAL TO ALL OF THE SUCCESS, PUTTING RESOURCE TO K 2 CORE LITERACY TRAINING AND PUTTING TRAINING TOWARDS THE SECONDARY CURRICULUM ADOPTIONS. AND THEN KAMIAKIN, WHAT THEY NEED, GIVEN THEIR NEEDS RIGHT NOW. UNDER OUR STRATEGIC PILLAR OF INCLUSIVE PRACTICES IDENTIFIED THE NEED TO BRING SOME OF OUR SERVICES THAT WE HAD CONTRACTED OUT INTERNALLY AND SO HIRING A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALIST TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS IN INTERVENTION PROGRAMS RATHER THAN CONTRACTING IT OUT. THEY CAN FOLLOW THEM CLOSER AND WE THINK ABOUT HAVING STUDENTS TRANSITION TO THE GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSROOM TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE AND THAT'S WHAT THIS BUDGET ALLOCATION IS SPECIFIC. WHEN YOU SEE THE 3 INDICATION

[01:00:03]

WE HAVE HEARD THIS FROM OUR COMMUNITY, THAT HAVING MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS FROM COUNSELORS THAT LOOK LIKE THEIR CHILDREN THAT HAVE LIVED EXPERIENCES LIKE THEIR CHILDREN AND SO JOHNNY AND HIS TEAM WILL MOVE THAT FORWARD. WE ALSO HEARD OVER THE LAST YEAR THAT A NUMBER OF OUR COMMUNICATION PLATFORMS DON'T REALLY REACH OR MEET THE NEEDS OF MANY OF OUR FAMILIES AND SO ADOPTING A COMMUNICATION PLATFORM THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY USE FOR TEXTING WITH OUR FAMILIES IS -- IT'S BEING WORKED ON RIGHT NOW. WE IDENTIFY THE FUNDS BUT IT'S ALL THE WORK THAT ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED AND ADOPTED WITH FIDELITY AT ALL OF OUR SCHOOL SITES. AND THEN OUR THIRD PILLAR AROUND EQUITY AND APPRECIATE THE WORK WE DID WITH GLORIA HENDERSON AND HER TEAM AROUND THIS SO A FEW DIFFERENT COMPONENTS HERE.

FIRST IS CONCEPT CALLED COMMUNITY LIAISONS, OR CULTURAL BROKERS.

THESE INDIVIDUALS PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR OUR FAMILIES, PARTICULARLY OUR FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED OR UNDERREPRESENTED IN OUR SCHOOLS.

A WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S ABOUT IDENTIFYING THE KEY COMMUNITY SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS THAT CAN PROVIDE SUPPORTS TO FAMILIES, PROVIDE SUPPORTS FOR OUR TEAMS WHEN NEEDED.

THIS IS ABOUT 36 INDIVIDUALS FROM ACROSS THE DISTRICT. IT'S NOT THAT THEY'RE DISTRICT EMPLOYEES BUT KEY COMMUNITY RESOURCES, SOME OF WHICH ARE ALREADY CONNECTED TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS JUST FORMALIZES THIS. TO MAKE THAT A FORMAL STRUCTURE AND PROCESS WE NEED SOMEONE TO PROVIDE AN OVERARCHING SUPPORT FOR THAT TEAM OF 36 INDIVIDUALS AND SO HAVING A FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH COORDINATOR TO ACTUALLY FACILITATE THAT AS A PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT. YOU'LL SEE HERE WE ADDED AN ASSOCIATE PRINCIPAL AND ADDING A FAMILY ENGAGEMENT FA SILT TATER. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT TITLED 1 SUPPORTS, IT'S ONE OF THOSE SUPPORTS THAT THEY HAVE AS A TITLE SCHOOL.

BOTH OF THOSE SCHOOLS FEED INTO THEM WHICH IS NOT A TITLE 1 SCHOOL BUT OUR FAMILIES ARE USED TO THAT SUPPORT, A SUPPORT THAT IS HIGHLY BENEFICIAL YODING THAT TO KAMIAKIN AND PROVIDING CONTINUITY FOR THAT SERVICE FOR OUR FAMILIES. YOU SEE TWO ADDITIONAL POSITIONS. I, SPECIALIST. THE SECOND IS ADMINISTRATOR.

YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE ESSER FUNDS, CONTINUING TO PROVIDE THE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY PROVIDED OVER THE LAST 16 MONTHS TO MANY OF OUR FAMILIES AND CONTINUING THAT PROGRAM AND OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS DETERMINING WHAT'S THE BEST STRATEGY TO PROVIDE THAT INTERNET SUPPORT FOR OUR FAMILIES. IS IT THE HOT SPOT PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED OR SOMETHING ELSE WE IDENTIFY? YOU CAN SEE HERE ALL TOLD, ABOUT $2.5 MILLION IN NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. SOME OF THESE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AS ONE TIME, AND ONE TIME COULD BE A SINGLE YEAR OR OVER THREE YEARS AND SOME OF THESE WE'VE IDENTIFIED AS ONGOING MEANING WITHIN THE BUDGET WE SEE THAT FOUR OR FIVE OR SIX YEARS. WHAT WE KNOW JUST KIND OF GIVEN THE OVERALL BUDGET PICTURE, EVERYTHING IS REALLY GOING TO BE EVALUATED OVER THE COMING YEARS AND SO WHETHER IT'S A ONE-TIME OR AN ONGOING IT'S ABOUT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT NOW AS WE GO THROUGH OUR BUDGET ANALYSIS PROCESS. AND THEN IN THAT ORGANIZATIONAL CATEGORY THAT I TALKED ABOUT, A NUMBER OF ADS HERE TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS THAT ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE THAT OVERALL STRATEGIC WORK AND SUPPORT.

IN THE FIRST TWO ITEMS YOU SEE AN ASTERISK IN THE ONE-TIME BUDGET SUPPORTS.

WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET BECAUSE OF THE TIMELINESS OF THESE WE

[01:05:02]

YOU SEE ADDITIONAL ITEMS HERE. WE'RE GOING THROUGH A NUMBER OF EVALUATIONS IN OUR ACCELERATED PROGRAMS NEXT YEAR AND SOME ADDITIONAL STAFFING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S BANDWIDTH TO DO THAT WORK WELL. WE'VE GOT AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS THE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PIECES IN PLACE AND HAVING A DISTRICT-WIDE RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IS CRITICAL TO THAT. THAT IS ALSO THE SYSTEM THAT WILL ALL OF OUR BUSES USE AS THEY'RE COMMUNICATING AND SO WE HAVE DONE SOME UPGRADES OVER THE YEARS.

THIS IS A LARGER SCALE UPGRADE GIVEN THE NEED AND THE FCC CONTINUES TO CHANGE PLATFORMS AND REQUIREMENTS AND SO THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO JUST THE NEED TO HAVE A REALLY EFFECTIVE SYSTEM.

WE KNOW THAT THE LEGISLATURE ADOPTED SOME FEE WAIVER LAST YEAR AND THIS IS PLANNING FOR THE WAIVERS TO GO INTO EFFECT AND YOU SEE THREE MORE ESSER FUNDING PROGRAMS AND NURSING SUPPORT FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, SETTING DOLLARS ASIDE FOR PPE AND CLEANING, GIVEN CURRENT REQUIREMENTS FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, MASKING IS STILL REQUIRED FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF AND ALL OF THAT. WE ALSO KNOW THAT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE PROVISION OF ONLINE LEARNING, THAT WE DO HAVE FAMILIES THAT HAVE REQUESTED THAT SO CURRENTLY WE'RE RECEIVING ENROLLMENT FOR THAT AND SO SETTING DOLLARS ASTATE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN OFFER CONTINUOUS LEARNING, 2.04, REPUBLICAN DER GARDEN THROUGH 12TH GRADE AND EXCITED ABOUT THAT -- KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EN THROUGH 12TH GRADE AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THERE'S SOMEONE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE NUTS AND BOLTS AND DETAILS OF THAT OR THINGS LIKE THE SAT. IT'S NOT A PROGRAM THAT IS OURS BUT OUR STUDENTS ARE GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE SAT AND SO HAVING SOMEONE PAY ATTENTION TO THAT TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE TYPES OF ASSESSMENTS, REALLY IMPORTANT.

THIS DATA WAREHOUSE STAFFING IS RAIL, IT'S ABOUT SOMEONE WITH TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO TRANSITION FROM INFORMATION AND SUPPORTS WE USED TO HAVE ON OUR OLD LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR OUR TEACHERS AND TRANSITIONING IT INTO OFFICE 365.

TRANSITIONING AND ALSO MAKING IT BETTER, MAKING IT KIND OF PLUG AND PLAY ITEMS FOR TEAMS AND ONE NOTE AND MAKING ALL OF THOSE CURRICULUM-TYPE OF RESOURCES MORE READILY AVAILABLE AND EFFECTIVE. WITH THE PANDEMIC CAME A LARGE PURCHASE AS YOU REMEMBER OF LAPTOPS FOR OUR YOUNGEST LEARNERS BECAUSE THEY HAD OUR OLDEST EQUIPMENT AND IT WASN'T FUNCTIONING AS WELL AS THEY NEEDED TO AND SO THE TEAM WAS ABLE TO PROCURE AND BRING ON-SITE IN LATE DECEMBER. WITH THAT INCREASE IN ONE-TO-ONE, WE ALSO NEED TO INCREASE THE SUPPORT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CONSISTENT LEVEL OF SUPPORT ACROSS THE SYSTEM FOR ALL OF OUR DEVICES AND THEN AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, AS THE ORGANIZATION GROWS, A LOT OF OUR DEPARTMENTS KIND OF START TO FEEL THAT SQUEEZE OF THAT ONGOING GROWTH.

PAYROLL IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND GIVEN OUR 4500 NOW

[01:10:05]

AND A NUMBER OF ONGOING AND ONE-TIME ALLOCATIONS DURING THAT TIME AS WELL.

WITH THAT I'LL HAND IT BACK TO CHRIS. >> .

>> SO THE ONE FUND WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT BEFORE WAS THE GENERAL FUNDS AND SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER THE DETAILS OR SOME OF THE INFORMATION IN THE GENERAL FUND.

OUR BUDGET ENROLLMENT IS A KEY DRIVER OF BOTH REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES SO ONE OF THE PLACES WE LIKE TO START WITH WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GENERAL FUND IS THE BUDGETED ENROLLMENT AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LOT BUT WE'RE SHOWING THAT FROM BUDGET TO BUDGET DECLINING BY 1,077 STUDENTS IN BASIC EDUCATION AND 210 STUDENTS IN SPECIAL EDUCATION.

THE MAJORITY WAS REALIZED DURING THE '20-'21 SCHOOL YEAR DOILY TO THE COVID PANDEMIC.

CURRENT REGISTRATIONS DO NOT SHOW THAT WE'RE RECOVERING THIS ENROLLMENT SO OUR BUDGET REFLECTS THE DECLINE. 961FTE IS WHAT WAS -- WHAT WE SAW AS A REDUCTION IN THIS SCHOOL YEAR, SO MAJORITY HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. WE'RE JUST SHOWING THAT A SLIGHTLY -- 100 SOME ODD MORE KIDS FOR A DECLINE FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR'S ENROLLMENT.

FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION, THAT NUMBER WAS ABOUT 120 STUDENTS AND SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING ABOUT ANOTHER 90 STUDENTS FOR '21-'22 AS A DECLINE. THAT'S A 6.4 PERCENT REDUCTION FOR SPECIAL ED. AN EXAMPLE, NORMALLY IN KINDERGARTEN WE GET ABOUT 2300 STUDENTS AND WE'RE EXPECTING REGISTRATIONS OF 1950 STUDENTS FOR NEXT YEAR FOR KINDERGARTEN.

AS WE SHARED IN THE STUDY SESSION WE BUDGETED ON ANNUALIZED AVERAGE FTE, WHICH IS THE FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT AND IT'S NOT THE HEADCOUNT NUMBER OF STUDENTS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FUNDED ON AND THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE BUDGET. WE'RE CONSERVATIVE IN ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS. WE DON'T WANT TO OVERCOMMIT TO THE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES.

WE ALSO INCLUDE BUDGET CONTINGENCY OF 500 STUDENTS IN OUR BUDGET SO THAT IF WE DO GET MORE STUDENTS WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO ADD TEACHERS AND THIS ALLOWS US TO SPENDS THE MONEY TO GET THE TEACHERS IN PLACE. SO WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE KEY CHANGES FOR REVENUES, AND WE HEARD THAT WE WANTED TO SIMPLIFY INFORMATION AND THIS IS OUR ATTEMPT. 11.1 MILLION, THE REDUCTION. THIS IS DO TO THE BASIC ED AND SPECIAL ED DECREASE, BUT THAT IS OFFSET BY AN INCREASE IN LEVY COLLECTION AND SOME FOR

[01:15:09]

AND TITLE 3, ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS, IT'S ALSO INCREASING JUST A LITTLE BIT.

AND OTHER SELF-SUPPORT INCLUDING THINGS LIKE EXTENDED DAY NUTRITION SERVICES AND TESTING FEES AND THE CAPITAL TRANSFERS, INCREASING BY ABOUT 2 MILLION. TOTAL REVENUE REDUCTION OF 4.9 MILLION, OR ABOUT 1 PERCENT. AND SO THIS IS A REVENUE SUMMARY.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT VIEW BUT YOU'LL SEE THAT IN OUR BUDGET AND AGAIN YOU'LL SEE THAT ONE MAJOR CHANGES IS THE STATE APPORTIONMENT, THE DECREASES DRIVEN BY ENROLLMENT MAINLY.

IN ADDITION TO BEING OFFSET SLIGHTLY FOR THE COLA AND THE SUB CHANGES AND THE RETIREMENT.

THE EXPENDITURE BUDGET INCLUDED IN THESE CHANGES ALSO INCLUDE FIXED COSTS.

STATE APPORTIONMENT IS THE LARGEST SOURCE OF REVENUES DETERMINEDBY THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ATTENDING THE SCHOOLS. THE DECREASES IS DUE TO ENROLLMENT OF 11.3 MILLION, STATE FUNDED PENSION DECREASE OF -- AND THE BENEFIT PREMIUMS ARE ALSO GOING DOWN.

REDUCTIONS ARE PARTIALLY OFFSET BY THE COLA INCREASE OF 2 PERCENT FROM THE STATE.

AND STATE CATEGORIAL, THINGS LIKE SPECIAL ED, STATE SPECIAL ED, TRANSPORTATION, ENGLISH LEARNERS, LEARNING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. THEY'RE NOT AVAILABLE FOR OTHER PURPOSES AND THE DECREASE IS DUE TO ENROLLMENT GOING DOWN. YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT'S GOING DOWN 3.4 PERCENT. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THIS YOU MIGHT THINK, OH, MY GOSH, 21.9 PERCENT INCREASE IN FEDERAL AND 37.2 PERCENT INDEED PROGRAMS, REALLY WHAT THAT IS IS JUST A CHANGE IN OUR NUTRITION SERVICES BECAUSE WE'RE PROVIDING FREE MEALS RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE NOT CHARGING FOR MEALS SO THAT'S NO LONGER A FEE PROGRAM. IT'S NO LONGER IN OUR FEES AS BEING COLLECTED THROUGH FEDERAL DOLLARS WHEN WE CLAIM THOSE MEALS.

THAT'S ABOUT A $7 MILLION SHIFT, I WANT TO SAY. FEDERAL FUNDS ALSO INCLUDE TITLE ONE, AND THE ESSER DOLLARS, ALL PART OF OUR INCREASE AS WELL. AND OUR LEVY DOLLARS ARE ALSO INCREASING. THAT'S BASED ON THE AMOUNT APPROVED BY THE COMMUNITY EVERY FOUR YEARS, AND THE INCREASE IS BASED ON VOTER APPROVED AMOUNT OF 67.7 MILLION FOR CALENDAR YEAR '22. THIS IS STILL LESS THAN WHAT WE HAVE -- WHAT WE'RE AUTHORIZED TO COLLECT AND IT'S ABOUT $500 PER PUPIL LESS THAN WHAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO COLLECT.

TALKED ABOUT THE FEE PROGRAMS. AGAIN, OTHER THINGS THAT ARE IN THE FEE PROGRAMS INCLUDE PRESCHOOL EXTENDED DAYS, SUMMER SCHOOL, ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION AND THEN IN OUR OTHER PROGRAM

[01:20:05]

THOSE ARE REQUIRED CHANGES FOR SALARY AND BENEFITS AND FOR PENSION.

THE CATEGORIAL GRANTS SELF-SUPPORTING PROGRAMS, $2.2 MILLION GOING UP, AND THAT INCLUDES AMOUNTS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING, LEARNING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION, STATE COMPETITIVE GRANTS LIKE THE BEST GRANT, HIGHLY CAPABLE TRANSPORTATION, TITLE ONE AND 3 DOLLARS AND ESSER III IS INCLUDED IN THAT AMOUNT.

FIXED COSTS ARE GOING UP BY 1.3 MILLION, AND MOSTLY DUE TO INSURANCE BUT ALSO INCLUDES THINGS FOR ELECTION COSTS AND BUILDING BUDGETS. ONE-TIME EXPENDITURES THAT WE DO EACH YEAR AND SO WE BACK THOSE OUT FROM OUR ESTIMATES AND SO THE AMOUNT THAT WE'RE BACKING OUT FOR '21-'22, $5.3 MILLION FROM PREVIOUS YEARS AND OUR STRATEGIC AND ORGANIZATIONAL WORK TALKED ABOUT, INCREASE OF $6.5 MILLION, TOTAL INCREASE AND EXPENDITURES, 10.3, WHICH IS ABOUT A 2.1 PERCENT INCREASE. MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND OPERATING COSTS, THIS IS A REQUIRED THING THAT WE HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT OUR STATE FUNDED MSOCS, $39.3 MILLION.

THE DISTRICT IS BUDGING OF $3.8 MILLION, A DIFFERENCE OF 6.5 MILLION.

THE DIFFERENCE IS USED TOWARDS SOCIAL EDUCATION AND SUB COSTS AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND COMPENSATION FOR CURRICULUM WORK AND MEETINGS AND TRAININGS AND THIS IS A REQUIREMENT AS PART OF OUR BUDGET PROCESS. ALL THESE ITEMS HAVE EDUCATIONAL BENEFIT AND IMPACT TO STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. THERE'S NOTHING IN THE BUDGET THAT SAYS WE HAVE TO SPEND IT SPECIFICALLY ON MSOC, SO WE SPEND MORE ON OUR STAFFING COSTS RELATED TO THOSE THINGS.

AND THIS IS A SUMMARY OF OUR EXPENDITURES BY PROGRAM. THIS IS INCLUDES THE ENROLLMENT DECREASE, THE CATEGORIAL GRANTS, REQUIRED ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS AND STRATEGIC WORK IS IN HERE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ESSER III FUNDS IS NEW FOR $4.1 MILLION IN THE BUDGET.

COMPARING IT YOU CAN SEE THE PERCENT CHANGE FROM '21-'22. AND IN REGULAR EDUCATION IT CONTAINS COSTS OF K-12 TEACHERS AND THE SUPPORT STAFF, BUILDING BUDGETS, AND DISTRICT LEVEL PROGRAMS SUCH AS CURRICULUM INFORMATION SERVICES, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, ET CETERA, AND INCREASES DUE TO STAFF COMPENSATION AND STRATEGIC AND ORIGINALLAL ADDS ARE OFFSET BY -- A STAFF DECREASE TO ENROLLMENT IS DECREASING SOME OF THOSE EXPENDITURES.

ALTERNATIVE LEARNING, AND INCREASES DUE TO PROGRAM NEEDS. SPECIAL EDUCATION CONTAINS ALL EXPENDITURES RELATED TO SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS INCLUDING PRESCHOOL.

THE DECREASE IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE ENROLLMENT DECLINE WE TALKED ABOUT FOR LESS STAFFING.

AND WE'RE ALSO BACKING OUT SOME ONE-TIME EXPENDITURES FOR STRATEGIC ADDS THAT WERE PUT IN

[01:25:01]

6.3 PERCENT, AND THAT INCLUDES BUSINESS FUNCTIONS SUCH AS ACCOUNTING AND PAYROLL, HR, COMMUNICATIONS, UTILITY COSTS, SUPPORT SERVICES AND TECH OPERATION DEPARTMENTS.

IT'S ALSO WHERE YOU PAY FOR AUDIT AND LEGAL COSTS. THE INCREASE IN FIXED COSTS LIKE UTILITIES AND INSURANCE AND INSURANCE IS A BIG PIECE OF THIS.

IT ALSO INCLUDES INVESTMENTS FOR THE ORGANIZATIONAL AND STRATEGIC WORK WE TALKED ABOUT.

SO AGAIN TOTAL INCREASE IN EXPENDITURES OF 10.3 MILLION, AND A 2.1 PERCENT INCREASE FROM PRIOR YEAR'S BUDGET. AND SO FOR OUR FOUR-YEAR OUTLOOK WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT BY THE STATE, EVEN THOUGH THE DISTRICT HAS INCLUDED MULTIPLE YEARS IN THEIR BUDGETS, WE HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED BEYOND A ONE-YEAR VIEW FOR OUR ENROLLMENT AND FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS BUT THIS IS A STATEMENT REQUIREMENT TO DO THIS AND OUR REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS, AFTER THE ENROLLMENT DECLINE, WE PROJECT GROWTH OF .5 PERCENT PER YEAR. WE HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE FUNDING OTHER THAN THE 2 PERCENT COST OF LIVING AND AGAIN THE LEVY IS BASED ON CURRENT VOTER APPROVED AMOUNTS. THE EXPENDITURES FUNCTIONS, STAFFING IS ALIGNED WITH ENROLLMENT DECLINE, AND THE ONGOING LOCAL COSTS NEEDS OVER STATE FUNDING FOR SALARIES AND BENEFITS AND RETIREMENT. THE ONGOING FIXED COST INCREASES IN OUR STRATEGIC ADDS AND IN THE FOUR-YEAR OUTLOOK WE'RE ALSO INCLUDING REDUCTIONS OF ONE TO 2 PERCENT BEGINNING IN '22-' 23.

>> BEFORE YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, I HAVE A QUESTION. THE FIRST BULLET POINT UNDER REVENUE A, 0.5 PERCENT PER YEAR. THE FIRST BULLET POINT UNDER EXPENDITURES ASSUMPTIONS, DECLINE. HOW DO I RECONCILE THE ASSUMPTION OF MINIMAL GROWTH

WITH AN ASSUMPTION BASED ON ENROLLMENT DECLINE. >> THE DECLINE IS FOR THE FIRST

YEAR, '21 AND '22. >> AND CONTINUED THEREAFTER WE WOULD START SEEING GROWTH,

RESUMING TO NORMAL PATTERNS. >> RIGHTS. >> WHAT THE ASSUMPTIONS ARE, OR

GETTING CLOSER TO NORMAL PATTERNS. >> THAT .5, 150 STUDENTS A YEAR, SO VERY CONSERVATIVE IN THE ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS GOING FORWARD.

>> SO FOR THIS COMING ACADEMIC YEAR WE'RE ASSUMING A DECLINE, A CONSERVATIVE ASSUMPTION OF A DECLINE AND FOR PLANNING PURPOSES GOING FORWARD, FOR BUDGING PURPOSES WE'RE ASSUMING

A CONSERVATIVE GROWTH. >> CORRECT. >> ESSENTIALLY ZERO PERCENT.

>> WE'RE NOT ASSUMING THAT WE'RE GOING TO RECOVER ALL THE STUDENTS THAT WE LOST BECAUSE

WE'RE JUST NOT SEEING THAT SHOW UP. >> THANK YOU.

-- [CROSSTALK] -- >> I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT. THAT FIRST BULLET REALLY -- STAFFING IS ALIGNED WHEN ENROLLMENT DECLINES BUT ALSO ALIGNED WHEN ENROLLMENT GROWS,

SO IT'S NOT JUST A DECLINE ONGOING. >> THANK YOU.

>> . >> SO THIS IS THE FOUR-YEAR OUTLOOK THAT IS PART OF OUR BUDGET DOCUMENT THAT GOES TO THE STATE. OVERVIEW FOR '21-'22 THROUGH '24-'25, AND YOU CAN SEE THE PLANNED USE OF FUND BALANCE EACH YEAR MAKING PROGRESS TOWARDS THAT, GETTING THOSE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES ALIGNED THROUGH -- THROUGH THE REDIRECTIONS THAT WE'RE PLANNING THROUGH '25-'26, SO THAT IS NOT SHOWING UP THERE, AND OVERALL I THINK THAT'S A

[01:30:09]

SO THIS IS JUST A VIEW OF THOSE PROJECTIONS AND IT SHOWS OUR ESTIMATED REVENUES IN PURPLE AND THEN BLUE. YOU CAN SEE THE GAP. STATE AND FEDERAL STIMULUS DOLLARS. REVENUE LOSSES PLAN TO ENROLLMENT DECLINES IN '21-'22, AND MINIMUM FLEXIBILITY ON REDUCING STAFFING AND FIXED COSTS.

A PLANNED USE OF ESSER III IN RECOVERY EFFORTS OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS ARE INCLUDED.

USE OF FUND BALANCE NECESSARY TO OFFSET THE DECLINING REVENUES AND REQUIRES EXPENDITURE REDUCTION OF ■ONE TO2 PERCENT FROM '22-'23 THROUGH '25-26 TO BRING THE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES BACK IN ALIGNMENT. SO THE '25-26 GRAPH SHOULD SHOW THOSE BASICALLY AT THE SAME LEVEL. SO NEXT STEPS FOR THE BUDGET, '21-22 PROPOSED BUDGET DOCUMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE AND HARD COPIES CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE BUDGET OFFICE. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, JUNE 29 THROUGH AUGUST 8 WITH THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ON AUGUST 9. AND FORMAL BOARD ACTION ON AUGUST 23RD.

WE CAN PROVIDE FEEDBACK VIA THE WEBSITE OR BY EMAIL BY AUGUST 8TH.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER? >> THANK YOU.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO DOES THE BUDGET, AN EPO LEVY AND [INDISCERNIBLE] THIS BUDGET IS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT [INDISCERNIBLE] GO AHEAD.

MY QUESTION IS ABOUT THE LEVY COMING UP AND THE EXPIRATION. >> WE MAKES ASSUMPTIONS AROUND THE LEVY THAT IT CONTINUES WITH ESTIMATED INCREASE DUE TO THE ASSESSED VALUATION.

>> THOSE ASSUMPTIONS ARE BUILT IN WITH THE LEVY PASSING AND CONTINUING ON.

YES. >> THERE IS ALSO ASSUMED ESSENTIALLY AT THE SAME LEVEL THEY ARE RIGHT NOW WITH THE INFLATION INCREASES THAT CHRIS REFERENCED.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARD? >> JUST A QUESTION ON HOW WE ADVERTISE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. IF PEOPLE WEREN'T AT TONIGHT'S BOARD MEETING ARE THERE OTHER WAYS TO FIND OUT THERE'S A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD? THAT'S PROBABLY NOT A CHRIS QUESTION EITHER. I'M SORRY.

>> WE ADVERTISE IN THE LOCAL PAPERS SO THE LOCAL PAPERS AREN'T CURRENTLY PRINTING BUT

[01:35:01]

THAT THERE'S A PUBLIC HEARING AND ON THE WEBSITE. >> IT WILL BE ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL TOO SO IF SOMEBODY WERE TO ACCESS THE FRONT PAGE OF IT, THEY WOULD SEE THIS?

>> YES. WE CAN PUT IT LIKE ON THE FRONT PAGE.

>> THANK YOU. >> EXCELLENT. >> I HAVE A QUESTION ALSO.

>> MARK, YOU ARE HARD TO HEAR SO SHOUT. >> NEVER MIND.

>> SORRY. DO YOU WANT TO TYPE YOUR QUESTION? NO. I GUESS NOT. MARK, WE CAN HEAR YOU.

DO YOU WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT. >> I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING SKIP IT. THE QUESTION IS OUR NUMBERS ARE STARTING TO TAPER OFF BUT DO WE KNOW HOW IT COMPARES TO THE NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS, IN PARTICULAR NORTH SHORE,

BELLEVUE, ISSAQUAH. >> I'LL REPEAT THE QUESTION. DIRECTOR MARK STUART ASKED, OUR ENROLLMENT HAS DECLINED BUT DO WE KNOW HOW THAT COMPARES TO NEIGHBORING AND SIMILARLY

SITUATED DISTRICTS. >> I THINK WE HAVE SHARED WE HAVE SEEN OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE DECREASES OF 1 PERCENT TO 6 PERCENT, AND I HAVEN'T REALLY HEARD ANY NEW UPDATES ON THEIR ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR. WE WERE ONE OF THE LOWEST ENROLLMENT DROPS, 1.5 PERCENT DECREASE FROM ACTUAL. WE'RE.

>> WE'RE LET LOWER RANGE. >> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER HAVE QUESTIONS?

DIRECT CARLSON? >> NOT A QUESTION. >> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER

QUESTIONS? >> NO QUESTIONS. JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK IN PUTTING IT TOGETHER. I APPRECIATE THE STRATEGIC PRESENTATION AND BREAKING OUT THOSE COMPONENTS SPECIFICALLY AND THE WAY THOSE BROKE UNDER THE PILLARS AND THE CONCEPT OF HOW IT'S WORKING TOWARDS THE EQUITY COMPONENT, AND IT SAYS THERE'S STILL ADDITIONAL WORK TO BE DONE BUT IT'S ALONG THE PROCESS AND SEEING THE RESOURCES ARE ALIGNING TO THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE GOING FORWARD FROM A STRATEGIC LINEUP.

THANK YOU. >> IT WAS A REALLY INTERESTING WAY TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET WITH ALL OF THE PILLARS AND THE STRATEGIC GOALS AND IT ACTUALLY -- I HOPED FOR THE COMMUNITY LOOKING AT IT, IT MAKES MORE SENSE AND IT CONNECTS MORE CLOSELY FOR THE COMMUNITY

AS WELL. >> I AGREE. YEAH.

IT'S HELPFUL FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND. DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER?

>> I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION ON THE ASB FUND AND THIS MAY BE SOMETHING FOR A BOARD BRIEF ACTUALLY, BUT WHERE IT SAID WHERE THE DOLLARS CAME FROM, FUNDRAISING AND OTHER COMPONENTS, MY QUESTION: HOW DOES THAT PLAY OUT ACROSS SCHOOLS IN ORDER FOR STUDENTS TO ACCESS THOSE CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND IS IT AN EQUAL DISTRIBUTION AND HOW IT PLAYS

OUT IN OUR COMMUNITY IF IT'S NOT A DIRECTLY FUNDED PIECE? >> THERE'S A NEW HOUSE BILL 1660 THAT WAS RECENTLY PASSED THAT IS REQUIRING DISTRICTS TO WAIVE FEES FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE FREE AND REDUCED AND WE DO NEED TO HAVE PARENT CONSENT IN ORDER TO DO THAT BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE ADVERTISING THAT MORE TO FAMILIES TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE AWAY, FOR ASB CARDS AND FOR EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES SO WE MIGHT SEE AN IMPACT TO OUR ASB REVENUES, BUT, YEAH, THOSE

FEES WILL BE WAIVED FOR THOSE STUDENTS. >> SO THAT WOULD JUST BE SOMETHING NICE TO LEARN ABOUT, HOW THAT IS WORKING AND HOW THAT BILL IS IMPACTING AND HOW IT GOES. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE FUNDING PIECES THAT MADE ME THINK ABOUT

THIS. >> THIS IS A JOHN QUESTION. I KNOW WE'VE RUN INTO THIS BEFORE, HOW WOULD STUDENTS -- THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING ONE?

WHERE ARE WE AT SO THAT STUDENTS AT EAST LAKE. >> WE'RE GETTING A TEAM TOGETHER TO LOOK AT THAT WHOLE TOPIC BECAUSE IT AFFECTS THE ENTIRE DISTRICT SO WE'RE GETTING A TEAM

[01:40:07]

TOGETHER HERE IN THE COMING MONTH OR SO TO LOOK AT THAT. >> OKAY.

THEN YOU'LL LET US KNOW WHAT THE RESULT OF THAT IS. >> ABSOLUTELY, I WILL.

>> ALL RIGHT. STAINING. >> SOUNDS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A

STUDY SESSION AT SOME POINT IN TIME ON THE AGENDA. >> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER

QUESTIONS? >> I ALSO WANTED TO THANK MY TEAM AND LYNN PIKE WHO IS RETIRING AND OTHERS AND FOR COMMUNICATIONS TO PUTTING THE DOCUMENT TOGETHER.

THEY ALL DO A REALLY GREAT JOB. >> THANK YOU. >> AS WAS NOTED A COPY OF THE SUMMARY BUDGET WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM THE BUSINESS OFFICE AND/OR IT CAN BE FOUND ON THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE. FEEDBACK WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED VIA THE WEBSITE OR BY EMAIL.

[G. Superintendent Report]

UPDATE ON THE PATHWAY FORWARD. >> I'LL DEVIATE FROM WHAT I WAS PLANNING ON DOING WITH THE PATHWAY FORWARD UPDATE WITH SOMETHING I THINK IS A LITTLE MORE TIMELY AND I'M SAD I HAVE TO BE HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT IT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. THIS AFTERNOON I FORWARDED A MESSAGE TO THE BOARD. I ALSO THIS EVENING A MESSAGE WENT OUT SUE TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDING THE TECHNICAL SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND ALSO TO RECOGNIZE THE PERSONAL HARM CAUSED BY THE HATE SPEECH PERPETRATED ON THE WEBSITE JUNE 17.

IN THIS MESSAGE I SAID THAT HATE HAS NO PLACE IN THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE KNOW THE MESSAGES POSTED BY THE PERSONS THAT TEMPORARILY CAME INTO OUR WEBSITE JUNE 17 WERE DEEPLY OFFENSIVE, HURTFUL, AND THREATENING TO OUR STUDENT, STAFF AND FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY THAT WERE EXPOSED TO THIS DISGUSTING MESSAGE. I WANT TO OFFER MY HEARTFELT APOLOGY TO OUR COMMUNITY, THE IMPACT THESE MESSAGES HAD. HATE IMPACTS EVERYONE AND IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIGHT AGAINST HATRED AND BIGOTRY WITH KINDNESS AND LOVE.

AS A DISTRICT WE ALSO HAVE POLICY THAT GUIDES OUR ACTIONS INTERNALLY WHEN ACTS OF HATE OCCUR SUCH AS ANTIDISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT OR INTIMIDATION OR BULLYING AND WE HAVE POLICY THAT STATES OUR VALUES RELATED TO THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF HATE ON INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS. IN THE TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTS AND EXPERIENCES THAT WE WANT FOR OUR TO DO STUDENTS AND FAMILY AND STAFF AND I WEREN'T TO RECOGNIZE THE BOARD IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON A POLICY FOCUSED ON EQUITY AND OPPORTUNITY AND INCLUSION AS WE ARE.

EXPECTATION, TREATMENT OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS STATES THE SUPERINTENDENT SHALL MAINTAIN AN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE TREATING FAMILIES AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WITH RESPECT, DIGNITY AND COURTESY. THE MESSAGES OUR COMMUNITY SAW ON JUNE 17 WERE THE ANTITHESIS OF THE RESPECT, DIGNITY AND CURIOSITY. TEN, LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND TREATMENT OF STUDENTS. ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT IS SAFE AND RESPECTFUL AND FREE FROM UNNECESSARY DISRUPTION AND CONCLUSIVE TO EFFECTIVE LEARNING. WHEN STUDENTS AND FAMILIES SEAT LANGUAGE LIKE THIS ON OUR

[01:45:01]

OUR HUMAN DIGNITY POLICY, POLICY 4,000 STATES: RECOGNIZING VALUE THAT WE ARE A DIVERSE COMMUNITY IT'S PART OF OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH DIVERSITY IS RESPECTED AND ENCOURAGED. OUR CIVILITY POLICY, 4,011, THE PURPOSE OF THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICY IS THREE-FOLD. [INDISCERNIBLE] THE LANGUAGE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE DID NOT MEET THESE STANDARDS. AFTER A PERIOD OF INVESTIGATION WE ARE CONFIDENT THE WEBSITE INCIDENT OCCURRING JUNE 17 WAS A SINGULAR EVENT.

I'M PLEASED TO SAY WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT IT DID NOT REACH ANY OTHER OF OUR DISTRICT SYSTEMS NOR WAS ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ACCESSED.

WE ARE TAKING STEPS TO MAKE SURE THE PLATFORM IS MORE SECURED INCLUDING STEPS AS MULTIFACTORRED AUTHENTICATION AND WORKING WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO IS THE AGENCY ACTIVELY INVESTIGATING THIS CRIME. AS A DISTRICT WE TAKE THE SECURITY OF OUR DIGITAL SYSTEMS VERY SERIOUSLY. WE'VE PARTNERED WITH EXPERTS IN THE FIELD OF DIGITAL SECURITY FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF PROTECTION EMBEDDED WITHIN OUR PHYSICAL AND CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS. NONETHELESS, THERE'S EVIL ACTORS IN THIS WORLD SEEKING TO DO HARM TO BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONSES.

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS WE'VE PROVIDED INFORMATION TO STAFF ABOUT THE NUMBER OF WAYS INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS ATTEMPT TO GAIN ACCESS TO OUR SYSTEMS. WE HAVE NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE BEEN THREATENED AND INFILTRATED BY THE EVIL ACTORS. THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TANGIBLE EXAMPLES AND METHODS TO OUR STAFF TO AVOID COMPROMISING OUR DIGITAL SYSTEMS. OUR SYSTEMS THAT HOLD OUR STAFF INFORMATION AND OUR STUDENT INFORMATION. WE'LL WIN TO BE DILIGENT IN THE SECURITY EFFORTS. IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION ABOUT THIS INCIDENT, AND WE APPRECIATE THOSE WHO SENT INFORMATION IN TO THE DISTRICT ABOUT POTENTIAL INFILTRATORS, CONTACT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WW W.REDMOND.GOV. OR YOU CAN CALL.

WE WANT TO WELCOME PEOPLE TO SEND QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO US HERE AT THE DISTRICT.

WE HAVE SET UP A SPECIAL COMPONENT ON OUR LET'S TALK, AND SHOULD ANY COMMUNITY MEMBER HAVE A QUESTION, A COMMENT, OR A FRUSTRATION THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO SHARE.

AGAIN, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY DEEP APOLOGY. I WAS BEYOND DISMAYED TO SEE WHAT WAS PERPETRATED ON OUR WEBSITE AND I APPRECIATE THE STAFF THAT TOOK SIGNIFICANT ACTION TO REMOVE THAT AND COUNTLESS HOURS THAT HAVE BEEN SPENT INVESTIGATING THIS BUT THE HARM, THE HARM WAS DONE, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH AND I CAN ONLY OFFER AN APOLOGY TODAY AND A CONTINUED EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DISTRICT CONTINUES TO WORK TOWARDS SAFE INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND THAT INCLUDES ENSURING THAT THINGS SUCH AS THIS DON'T HAPPEN. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, DOCTOR. ANY FOLLOW-UP FROM THE BOARD? DIRECTOR SIRI BLIESNER.

>> A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FOR THAT SUPERINTENDENT REPORT. >> I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT OF DECISIONS, NOT DECISIONS, THIS WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT OF EXPERIENCES FOR YOU AS A SUPERINTENDENT AND I APPRECIATE HOW DILIGENTLY YOU ARE WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO BRING THE PEOPLE WHO DID PERPETRATE THIS TO JUSTICE, SOUNDS A LITTLE CLICHE, BUT TO

[01:50:05]

JUSTICE. >> THANK YOU. >> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE NOTHING PER THE AGENDA TONIGHT

[I. Closing Items]

TONIGHT? >> I JUST WANTED TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT THERE ARE COOLING STATIONS IN THE CITIES OF REDMOND, KIRKLAND AND SAMMAMISH. THEY ARE LISTED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WEBSITE. NOT ONLY IN SAMMAMISH CAN YOU GO TO CITY HALL BUT THE YMCA HAS COOLING STATIONS SET UP SO PLEASE JUST KNOW THAT THAT IS A PLACE THAT YOU CAN GO DURING THIS TIME, OF HEAT. MY DRIVEWAY SAID 111 DEGREES WHEN I LEFT.

>> ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS FOR TONIGHT? I HAVE TWO.

THE FIRST IS THAT I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THAT IN THE CONSENT AGENDA TONIGHT THE BOARD APPROVED A NEW TWO-YEAR CONTRACT WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE LWAI AND I WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR DILL GET WORK IN NEGOTIATING THAT AGREEMENT AND COMING TO AN AGREEMENT AND WE'RE VERY PLEASED AND I WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THAT. THE SECOND COMMENT I HAD IS I GUESS IT'S A REQUEST. WE'VE HEARD FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW REPEATED REQUESTS FROM THE COMMUNITY FOR AN UPDATE ON WHAT OUR THINKING IS AND WHAT OUR PROCESS IS FOR LOOKING AT START TIMES. DOCTOR, YOU'VE PROVIDED THE BOARD WITH THAT ALREADY.

I THINK IT WOULD BE APPRECIATE FOR OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING TO PERHAPS HAVE A SHORT PUBLIC PRESENTATION ON THE WORK THAT HAS GONE ON BEFORE AND THE WORK THAT IS GOING ON GOING FORWARD.
