WE HAVE UP TO THE MICROPHONE IT WOULD BE SUSAN AND SARAH CAROLLO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING THIS EVENING WELCOME.
>> HI I AM SUSAN CAROLLO AND I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT OUR DISTRICT'S INCLUSIVE PRACTICES PROJECT, THIS YEAR I HAD TO EASTLAKE GRADUATES ONE JUNIOR AND A FIFTH GRADER AT MCAULIFFE, I WAS HERE FOR YEARS AGO SPEAKING ABOUT THE NEED TO INCLUDE KIDS WITH DISABILITIES IN GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSES AND I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE A PERSONAL UPDATE AND HIGHLIGHT TO CONTINUE NEED FOR INCLUSIVE PRACTICES TO COME TO OUR SCHOOLS. AFTER DOING KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADE THE PANDEMIC IT, AND I TRANSITION BACK TO THE CALL OF ELEMENTARY. THIS YEAR MY DAUGHTER FULLY INCLUDED FIRST YEAR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN LAKE WASHINGTON. SHE WAS SUCCESSFUL AT BEATING EVERYONE AT TIC-TAC-TOE AND CHECKERS AND LEARNING TO MULTIPLY FRACTIONS AND SHE LOVED THE ECONOMICS SIMULATION THAT ALL FIFTH-GRADERS DO WITH THE SCHOOL.
I CAN TELL SHE FELT CARED FOR, AND GOT ALONG WELL WITH ALL THE ADULTS IN THE BUILDING. ACADEMICS WERE VERY WELL SUPPORTED, AND LEARNING TO HANDLE ROUTINE ASSIGNMENTS AND TRADITIONS AND INDEPENDENTLY WERE ALL SUCCESSFUL.
SHE DESCRIBES FIFTH GRADE IS GREAT, ALL THE SUCCESS FROM AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT WENT FROM ZERO TWO INCLUSION 1.0.
WHERE YOU PUT APPEAR EDUCATED WITH THE STUDENT AND GENERAL GENERAL EDUCATION BUT DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE.
WE NEED INCLUSIVE PRACTICES EVERYWHERE, NOT JUST IN KIRKLAND, WON INCLUSIVE PRACTICE THAT WAS MISSING THE SHIP WAS.
SUPPORT, AS A RESULT THE SOCIAL GOALS WERE NOT MET AND THE PRINCIPAL RESPONDED HARSHLY WHEN I POINTED OUT THIS OPPORTUNITY, THIS IS THE FIRST REASON WE NEED THE INCLUSIVE PRACTICES PROJECT TO COME TO SAMMAMISH, THERE ARE SCHOOL LEADERS WHO NEED TO HEAR THESE IDEAS FROM SOMEONE MORE OFFICIAL AND NOT JUST APPARENT.
THE SECOND BIG REASON WE NEED INCLUSIVE PRACTICES IN SAMMAMISH IS THE LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL. AT THE WELCOME TO ENGLEWOOD MEETING, SPECIAL EDUCATION TEAM DESCRIBED HOW THEY'RE GOING TO SORT OUR KIDS INTO MANY SEPARATE CLASSES, AND NOTHING WAS SET ABOUT HAVING TO SUPPORT KIDS IN GENERAL EDUCATION.
IN FACT THEY EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT THEY DID NOT LIKE OBVIOUS SUPPORT AND GENDER ED, BECAUSE IT'S SUCH SELF-CONSCIOUS AID. NOW THAT MAY BE, BUT ADULTS NEED TO LEAD THE WAY IN NORMALIZING SUPPORT.
IMAGINE ALL OF THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AS WE COULD AVOID IF STUDENTS SAW THAT SUPPORT WAS GIVEN IN A RESPECTFUL WAY WHEN NEEDED. THE THIRD MAJOR THINK WE NEED IS INCLUSIVE PRACTICES SUCH AS UNIVERSAL DESIGN, COLLABORATION TIME, SCHEDULES THAT SUPPORT INTERVENTION AND ENRICHMENT AND.
SUPPORT IS COVERT. STUDENTS RETURN TO IN PERSON SCHOOLS WITH A GREATER VARIETY AND ACKNOWLEDGING EXPERIENCES THAN EVER. SOME OF LEARNING PATHS AND PRIVATE TUTORS AND SOME FAIRLY LARGE AND IT ALL.
UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING AND OTHER INCLUSIVE PRACTICES WOULD DO WITH COVERT VARIABILITY AND RAISE ACHIEVEMENT FOR EVERYONE, I AM ASKING THAT WE PROMOTE ALL OF THESE PRACTICES IN EVERY SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT THIS SUMMER.
[00:05:02]
AND GIVE ADMINISTRATORS AND STAFF OF VISION WITH FOR THE WAY ALL STUDENTS CAN ACHIEVE AND GIVE TEACHERS THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY NEED. THANK YOU.SARAH HAS COMMENTS ABOUT FIFTH GRADE AS WELL.
>> HI, MY NAME IS SARAH CAROLLO, AND I JUST FINISHED FIFTH GRADE, IT MISSES WELLINGTON'S CLASS. FIFTH GRADE WAS GREAT, FIRST I LIKE TO BUY CANDY AT THE CLASS STORE.
WE HAD A CLASS STORE ONCE A MONTH.
AND IT COULD SPEND THE STARBUCKS THAT WE GOT FROM TURNING IN HOMEWORK AND DOING OUR CLASS JOB.
SECOND, I LIKED PLAYING TIC-TAC-TOE AND CHECKERS.
WITH PEOPLE DURING RECESS. FINALLY, I MET MS. NATALIE THAT HELPED ME LEARN SOME INFO ABOUT TURNING MIXED NUMBERS INTO IMPROPER FRACTIONS. AND DIVIDING DECIMALS.
SHE HELPED ME LEARN A LOT DURING MATH TIME.
I AM HAPPY I WAS IN FIFTH GRADE AT MCAULIFFE THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING TONIGHT AND PROVIDING THAT AND YOUR EXPERIENCES THAT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I KNOW WE ARE ALL JUST SMILING, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SO WONDERFUL TO HEAR FROM OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS, AND SHE IS RIGHT THERE IS MORE TO BE DONE AND IT'S GOOD TO HEAR THE WORK THE WORK THAT DOES WORK AND WHERE WE GO FROM THERE, SO I APPRECIATE GREATLY THAT OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR. SO OUR NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS APPROVAL OF THE JUNE 27, 2022 CONSENT AGENDA I AM SO SORRY, PUBLIC COMMENTS HAVE NOT FINISHED WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO MORE PUBLIC COMMENTS, SO DIRECTOR COLSON IS GOING TO READ ONE OF THOSE WRITTEN COMMENTS AND I WILL SUMMARIZE THE OTHER
ONE. >> WE ARE STILL GRAPPLING FOR FORMATS FOR INPUT SO APOLOGIES ALL RIGHT SO THIS IS FROM HEIDI WONG A PARENT AT TARBERT MIDDLE SCHOOL.
IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT DECIDED TO CHANGE OUT TO ALLOCATE COUNCILS AND KIM IS NO LONGER QUALIFIED FOR TWO FULL-TIME COUNSELORS AND WILL BE REDUCED TO ONE FULL-TIME AND ONE PART-TIME COUNSELOR NEXT YEAR.
THIS SEEMS LIKE A STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THE STUDENTS NEEDED MORE AND NOT LESS COUNSELING. I DO NOT SEE THIS TRAN DECREASING, PERSONALLY MY SIXTH-GRADER HAS BENEFITED TREMENDOUSLY FROM SCHOOL COUNSELOR THIS PAST YEAR.
DUE TO A MYRIAD OF CHALLENGES THE PAST COUPLE YEARS MY DAUGHTER'S MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING WAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED. SHE IS OFTEN QUITE IS OFF TO SLEEP AND WOULD LIKELY GOT UP THE NEXT STAGE TO ATTEND SCHOOL.
ONE OF THE SAVING GRACES WAS EASY ACCESS TO SCHOOL COUNSELOR.
AND THEY MET WITH HER REGULARLY, AND OFFERED IDEAS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO COPE WITH EVERYTHING.
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IF THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE MY DAUGHTER WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED SIX GRADE. AND I CANNOT IMAGINE HER BEING THE ONLY ONE. PLEASE RECONSIDER THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR DISTRIBUTION AT LEAST MAINTAIN CURRENT LEVELS THANK
YOU. >> THANK YOU, AND SO WE DID HAVE ONE OTHER FROM ELISA TSENG, SHE IS A GUARDIAN AND FAMILY MEMBER WITHIN THE LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND SHE SENT A LONGER E-MAIL IN REGARDS TO THE GRADING POLICIES THAT WERE IN PLACE. SHE HAS COMMENTED BEFORE SO THIS IS JUST IN REGARDS TO THE GRADING PRACTICES AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. AND SHE HIGHLIGHTS A VERY KEY THINGS ALL OF US HAVE RECEIVED THAT AND WE WILL READ IT AND I ALSO JUST LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT WITH AND THAT THAT WE ARE IN THE FALL TO NEXT SCHOOL YEAR WE WILL HAVE A WORKGROUP THAT IS WORKING AROUND THE CREATING POLICY AROUND CONSISTENCY SINCE UP ACROSS THE BOARD, SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS COMING SO I APPRECIATE THAT INFORMATION AND RESOURCES BEING SENT IN ALL OF WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, SO THAT IS IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT THIS EVENING.

AS THE BOARD KNOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BUDGET IS A LONG-TERM PROJECT, IT STARTS EARLY IN THE CALENDAR YEAR. IT CONCLUDES AND WRAPS UP WITH THE BOARD HAVING A BUDGET IN AUGUST TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ACTION ON. SO, WITH THAT, THE THREE OF US HAVE A SHARE PRESENTATION FOR YOU THIS EVENING, ASSOCIATE
SUPERINTENDENT WILL LEAD US OFF. >> GOOD EVENING, I AM PLEASED TO TONIGHT TO PRESENT OUR DRAFT BUDGET A PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR REPRESENTS THE SECOND YEAR OF THE BITE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
THE BUDGET PROVIDES TONIGHT I WILL GO OVER BUDGET POLICIES PROCESS AND TIMELINE BUT WOULD DO AN OVERVIEW OF ALL FUNDS, WE WILL TALK ABOUT REVENUE AND EXPENSES, TEACHER WORK AND ALIGNMENT. THE LEGISLATURE FOR FALL, THIS MIKE IS REALLY LOUD. THIS LEGISLATURE FOR FALL, PROVIDED THE BIGGEST CHANGE THAT YOU WILL SEE IN THE BUDGET ARE IMPACTS FROM LEGISLATIVE CHANGES SUCH AS THE COLA, STATE LEGISLATIVE COLA OF 5.5%, ALSO IMPLEMENTING A 6% INCREASE TO THE EMPLOYER COSTS. WHICH IS THE HEALTH CARE, AND MINOR INCREASES TO RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS.
THE LEGISLATURE IS ALSO MAKING INCREMENTAL STEPS TO INCREASE THE PROTOTYPICAL ALLOCATION MODEL OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, FOR PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS THAT WHICH WILL BRING THE GAP WHICH WILL BRIDGE THE GAP FROM WHAT THE STATE FUNDS AND WHAT THE DISTRICT ALREADY SPENDS.
THE BUDGET FOR ALL SO THAT YOU WILL SEE REFLECTS A MOMENT DECLARING A 1.5% OR ABOUT 450 STUDENTS.
YOU HAVE YOUR BOARD PACKET, THE COUPLE BUDGET DOCUMENTS WE HAVE THE F195 THIS IS THE OFFICIAL STATE FORMAT BUDGET IT IS A CONSISTENT FORMAT AND ALL DISTRICTS, ACROSS THE STATE PUT THAT BUDGET AND THIS FORMAT AND THAT IS THE VERSION YOU ARE ACTUALLY ADOPTING AND AUGUST. THEN THERE IS A BUDGET SUMMARY DOCUMENT, WE DO NOT HAVE THE COMPLETE NARRATIVE DETAILED BUDGET SUMMARY DOCUMENT YET AVAILABLE, BUT IN YOUR BOARD PACKET, IS THE DETAILED BUDGET INFORMATION BY FUND, WHICH KIT CONTAINS ALL OF THE FINANCIAL PAGES, WE ANTICIPATE WHAT WE CALL A USER-FRIENDLY VERSION WILL BE AVAILABLE, BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. SO WE WON'T HAVE THE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE NOW, AND BOARD DOCS THERE WERE ALSO BE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE, VIA REQUEST IF ANYBODY WANTS THEM A HARD COPY THEN THEY CAN REQUEST THEM TO THE BUDGET OFFICE.
SO I AM JUST GOING TO REVIEW OUR POLICIES AND TIMELINES, AND THEN WE COULD SPEND I THINK 3-STUDY SESSIONS RECENTLY GOING OVER THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET INFORMATION, AND SO, THIS WILL BE A REVIEW ABOUT TONIGHT, SO JUST A REMINDER, THE POLICY 6,000 REQUIRES THAT THE ANNUAL BUDGET IS EVIDENCE OF THE BOARD'S COMMITMENT TOWARDS FULFILLING THE OBJECTIVE OF THE INSTRUCTION PROGRAM. POLICIES RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DRIVER WORK IT PROVIDES FOR STAFF PARTICIPATION, SHARE RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THE BOARD, AND SHARING WITH CITIZENS PRIOR TO FORMAL ACTION.
AS A DISTRICT TO SOLICIT INPUT FROM THE CURRENT PROGRAM MANAGERS AND WE SOLICIT REQUEST FROM BUDGET AS FROM STAFF, WE
[00:15:01]
ADD TAKEN THAT TO THE ADVISORY LEADERSHIP TEAM, FOR REVIEW, AND FEEDBACK AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT ARE SHARED WITH THE BOARD IN AN EARLIER STUDY SESSION.SO THIS NEXT POLICY 0 E- FIVE, THE FINANCIAL PLANNING OUTLINES TO GO UP ON? THIS CONTINUING ON POLICY THOUSAND THAT IS THE DESCRIBES THAT WE WILL HOLD OUR ENERGY WILL BUDGET HAILING AGAIN THAT WILL HAPPEN IN AUGUST, OUR DEADLINE IS AUGUST 31, 0 E- FIVE, JUST PROVIDES THE MANNER OF HOW THE BUDGET IS TO BE DEVELOPED, IT IS TO BE IN A SUMMARY FORMAT, UNDERSTANDABLE DESCRIBES REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES, DISCLOSES ASSUMPTIONS ET CETERA.
I WILL NOT READ ALL OF THESE, BUT AGAIN IT PROVIDES NECESSARY INFORMATION ON SIGNIFICANT MATTERS, IT DISCUSSES CHANGES, AND IS BASED ON REASONABLE CONSULTATION.
SO OUR TIMELINE IS TONIGHT, WE PRESENT YOU WITH THE DRAFT BUDGET. IT WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN, ON OUR WEBSITE, THAT BEGINS THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, WHICH ENDS AUGUST 7, AND THAT WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AT THE AUGUST 8 BOARD MEETING, AND THEN WE WILL TAKE FORMAL BOARD ACTION AT THE AUGUST 22 BOARD MEETING. WE MUST APPROVE A BUDGET NO LATER THAN AUGUST 31 FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
SO WE ARE GOING I WILL JUMP INTO JUST THE OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET, AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT EACH OF THE FUNDS, WE HAVE FIVE FUNDS SCHOOL DISTRICT 75 FUNDS THAT THEY BUDGET FOR EACH YEAR.
AND THE FIRST, THE MAIN ONE IS THE GENERAL FUND WHICH IS OUR DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS, WHICH IS A 540 AND 47.
THOSE OF EXPENDITURES. IN THE STUDENT PARTY FUN, 7 MILLION DEBT SERVICE, OF 81.7 MILLION.
CAPITAL PROJECTS OF 90.6, AND TRANSPORTATION OF 1.6.
WE WILL DO AN OVERVIEW OF EACH FRONT IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES.
SO I AM GOING TO START WITH A, OUR ASP FUND, UP $7 MILLION, THE BUDGET PROVIDES AUTHORITY FOR $7 MILLION IN EACH SCHOOL IN OUR DISC IT OVER 54 SCHOOLS IT PROVIDES AND PREPARES AN INDIVIDUAL BUDGET PLAN FOR THE YEAR WORKING WITH THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODIES. IT PROVIDES FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY, AND THE REVENUES INCLUDE FUNDRAISERS, SALES, AND SPORTS. OUR DEBT SERVICE FUND OF 81.7 MILLION, THE BUDGET EXPENDITURES ARE FOR THE REDEMPTION, AT THE PRINCIPAL INTEREST PAYMENTS FOR OUR BONDS.
AND IT INCLUDES INTEREST INTEREST FOR PREVIOUSLY SOLD BONDS INCLUDING THE LIMITED GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS THAT WE SOLD IN MAY OF 2020. THE REVENUE THAT WE RECEIVE IS FROM A LEVEE EACH YEAR TO REPEAT THE BOND AND IT REFLECTS THE ESTIMATED INTEREST AND THOSE LEVEES.
AND WE CAN ONLY LEVY WHAT WE NEED TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. THE BUDGET DOES INCLUDE $4 MILLION OF CONTINGENCY JUST IN CASE, IT JUST SO WE DON'T EXCEED THE BUDGET 30. BUT OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND IS $90.6 MILLION, THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO EXPEND REMAINING 202018 CAPITAL TECHNOLOGY AND FACILITY LEVY.
AND THEN WE WILL BEGIN SPENDING OUR 2022, CAPITAL TECHNOLOGY CAN FACILITATE LEVY THAT THE VOTERS APPROVED IN FEBRUARY.
WE ALSO ARE CONTINUING TO FINISH OUR 2019 CONSTRUCTION LEVY PROJECT, AND OUR BEGINNING PLANNING FOR OUR 2022 CONSTRUCTION LEVY PROJECT. THE REVENUES IN THIS FUND, INCLUDED ARE LEVEES, FOR BOTH THE TECH LIVING IN THE CONSTRUCTION LEVY AND INVESTMENT EARNINGS AND IMPACT FEES FROM THE JURISDICTIONS, AND THEN VITIATE WE ARE RECEIVING AT AN AQUATIC GRANT TO DO IMPROVEMENTS ON THE ONE EAT A HIGH SCHOOL POOL THAT WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT. BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES TRANSFERS WE ARE DO THE STATE REQUIRES US TO DO THE TECHNOLOGY TRAINING THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE CAPITAL LEVY, IT IS REQUIRED TO BE SPENT IN THE GENERAL FUND AND THEN WE WILL TRANSFER THOSE FUNDS FROM THE LEVY TO THE GENERAL FUND.
WE ALSO ARE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER CAPITAL PROJECTS TO THE DEBT SERVICE FRONT TO PLAY FOR THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THOSE ALGIA ONES. SO FOR 2023 MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS, THE $90 MILLION BUDGET, WILL FUND IS COMPLETION OF OUR CORE EXPANSIONS THAT IS THE JUNE SPACE IN THE CAFETERIA
[00:20:02]
SPACE AT FRANKLIN, ROSE HILL, AND TWAIN OPENING THIS FALL.AND THEN CLASSROOM TRADITION AT CARSON WHICH WILL ALSO OPEN THIS FALL. AND OUR CORE EXPERIENCE AND CARSON WILL BEING PLANT AND BEGINNING IN FALL 23.
THAT WILL COMPLETE THE 20 LEVY PROJECTS.
THE 2022 FACILITIES AND TECHNOLOGY CAPITAL LEVY, WE HAVE ONGOING SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENT DISPLAYS FOR FLOORING AND ROOFING REPLACEMENTS, SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT STATEMENT AND STATEMENT FIELD HAS RAISED PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS, SO ALL OF THOSE ARE FUNDED AT THOSE LEVEES.
THEY ARE TECHNOLOGY PORTION OF THE LEVY PROVIDES NETWORK UPGRADES REFRESH STUDENT AND STAFF COMPUTERS, AND CLASSROOM DISPLAYS, WIRELESS WORK AND JUST ANYTHING RELATED TO THE CLASSROOM FOOTPRINT, AND JUST OUR BUSINESS AND TECH SYSTEMS AS WELL WE ALSO TRANSFER AS I MENTIONED FUNDS OUT FROM THE TECH LEVY TO THE GENERAL FUND AS REQUIRED.
SO TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE FUND HAS AN EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY OF 1.6 MILLION. WE HAVE A BUDGET THAT WILL ALLOW US TO REPLACE TEN BUSES. WE USE PRIMARILY OUR STATE DEPRECIATION FRONTS FOR BREAST REPLACEMENT, AND THEN OUR INVESTMENT EARNINGS FROM THE TRANSPORTATION LEVY THAT WE RAN OVER 20 YEARS AGO. SO WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE OF MAINTAINING THE BUS FLEET WITH DEPRECIATION FUNDS AND LEVY FUNDS, AND SOMETHING WE WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU, SOME EXCITING NEWS TO TRANSPORTATION PURCHASING DEPARTMENT WORKED WITH OUR BUS VENDORS, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR THESE TEN BUSES, PLUS THE 23-24 ANTICIPATED BUS ORDER SO A TOTAL OF 20 BUSES. AND BY PLACING THE ORDER NOW, WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE 20% OR OVER $500,000 ON THE COST OF THE BUSES BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE BUS VENDORS ARE INCREASING THEIR COST 20-25%. AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT ORDERS IN EARLY, AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE 23-24 BUSES THEY AREN'T GOING TO BE DELIVERED UNTIL THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR END THEY WILL BE PAID FOR, SO THERE IS NO IMPACT TO THE CURRENT BUDGET OR CASH FLOW BUT WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE OUR PRICING TODAY. SO, THAT HELPS SAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DOLLARS, SO WE ARE PLEASED THAT OUR PURCHASING AND TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENTS WERE ABLE TO WORK THAT OUT WITH THOSE VENDORS. I AM GOING TO HAVE JOHN GO OVER THIS PART THE STRATEGIC WORK AND RESOURCE ALIGNMENT.
>> AS THE BOARD KNOWS, WE DO SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK TO ENGAGE OUR STAKEHOLDERS, AND REALLY TO IDENTIFY THOSE KEY AREAS THAT NEED ADDITIONAL DOLLARS SPENT, TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS, AND THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE YEAR END THAT WE ARE JUST REALLY RETURNING FROM THE PANDEMIC AND SO THERE IS EXPENDITURES, AS WE MOVE FOR THIS YEAR.
AND SO HERE'S THE IMAGE THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE IS A FEW PIECES HERE THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE WORK, FIRST IN THE MIDDLE IS THE STRATEGIC PLAN. OUR WORK IS REALLY TO ALIGN OUR ADDITIONAL RESOURCE EXPENDITURES WITH OUR STRATEGIC EFFORTS, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT BY ACCOMPLISHING OUR GOALS WITHIN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, WE ARE ACTUALLY MOVING TOWARDS THE RESULTS THAT THE BOARD HAS SET FOR THE DISTRICT.
THE TWO IMAGES ON THE OUTSIDE, ONE THE BUDGET AWARD AND THEN THE USER FRIENDLY PROJECT ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, REALLY BOTH OF THOSE ARE REALLY JUST A COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION AROUND A VERY COMPLEX TOPIC WHICH IS OUR BUDGET, SO THAT'S WHAT THOSE REPRESENT AS WE MOVE THROUGH OUR BUDGET PROCESSES. AND AS WE MAKE DECISIONS, AROUND THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE WOULD BRING TO THE BOARD FOR THE 202223 BUDGET, THERE ARE KEY PILLARS THAT WE USE TO MAKE THOSE EVALUATIONS. FIRST IS OUR DISTRICT MISSION AND VISION, A MISSION OF GRADUATING STUDENTS AND OUR VISION OF PREPARING STUDENTS TO BE FUTURE READY.
THOSE REALLY ARE THE DRIVERS OF THE DECISION-MAKING, OUR BOARDS RESULT POLICY, AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON OUR STRATEGIC GOALS AND FOCUS, IT REALLY IS FOCUS OF 12 AND THREE WITH THE BOARD HAS SET FORTH. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THREE
[00:25:01]
SPECIFIC AREAS WITHIN OUR STRATEGIC PLANT THAT WE BELIEVE PROVIDE THE HIGHEST LEVERAGE TO ACCOMPLISHING OUR GOALS AND THAT IS OUR MULTITIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT, INCLUSIVE PRACTICES, AND OUR EQUITY COMMITMENTS, BECAUSE THOSE REALLY DO ENCOMPASS SO MUCH OF THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE, AND LEADING TO ADDITIONAL OUTCOMES FOR OUR STUDENTS, AND THEN WE ALSO KNOW AS WE ARE LOOKING AT L BUDGET THE EVALUATION OF THE OVERALL ORGANIZATION KNOWING THAT THERE ARE BASELINE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT. WE ARE AN EMPLOYER OF 4500 PEOPLE, THAT MEANS WITH THAT COMES SYSTEMS BUSINESSES SYSTEMS, THAT NEED TO BE PAID ATTENTION TOO, WE HAVE ALL OF THE ARRAY OF SERVICES THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PAY EMPLOYEES AND ENSURE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ARE ADEQUATELY PROVISION.LIKE ALL OF THOSE THINGS THEY NEED TO BE CONSIDERED AS WE ARE THINKING ABOUT BUDGET. AS WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THIS THERE IS SOME KEY DATA, SO IT THOSE WATCHING ARE INTERESTED IN THE DATA THAT WE SHARE WITH THE BOARD, THE FIRST STUDY SESSION IN JUNE, IS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW AND IT POINTS TO THE SUM OF THE DATA POINTS, THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT AS WE WORK MAKING DECISIONS AROUND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES.
FIRST WE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR FROM BOTH STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS THAT BEHAVIOR AND SUPERVISION WAS A HIGH PRIORITY AS WE GO INTO THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR.
SUPPORT FOR SUBSTITUTES KNOWING THAT WENT WE DON'T HAVE AN APPROPRIATE SUBSTITUTE IN A CLASSROOM AND OTHER POSITIONS, THAT THAT CREATES SIGNIFICANT DIFFICULTY FOR A SCHOOL TO OPERATE AND TO FUNCTION. CLASSIFIED STAFFING SUPPORT IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PLACES, PRESCHOOL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, ENSURING THAT SCHOOL AND DISTRICT OPERATIONAL SUPPORTS ARE MAINTAINED AND PAID ATTENTION TOO, AND THEN THE MENTAL HEALTH AND SPECIAL SERVICE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS, WERE A PRIORITY FOR OUR STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS.
AND SO THIS NEXT SLIDE KIND IT TAKES ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND DATA THAT WE SHARE WITH THE BOARD AND PUTS IT IN A SINGLE SLIDE, AGAIN IF PEOPLE WANT MORE INFORMATION AROUND EACH OF THESE THAT STUDY SESSION PRESENTATION GOES INTO MUCH GREATER DEPTH AND DETAIL. WHAT YOU WOULD FIND INTERNET PRESENTATION IN THAT FIRST ROW UP ABOVE THE STUDENT STRATEGIC SUPPORTS, THAT REALLY IS THE DRIVER AROUND MTS AS, INCLUSIVE PRACTICE, AND EQUITY. FOCUSED ON ADDITIONAL ELEMENTARY I.E. SUPPORT, A PROGRAM WE WILL CALL FLOATING TEACHERS, THAT IS FULL-TIME SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS THAT ARE PLACED EACH DAY INTO POSITIONS THAT WERE NOT ABLE TO BE FILLED BY OUR TYPICAL CELL PROCESSES, INCREASING BEHAVIORAL SUPPORTS, AND PROVIDING DEANS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, TO PROVIDE PROACTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE SUPPORTS FOR OUR STUDENTS.
IN ENSURING SO THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING APPROPRIATE OWNERS OR COULD. EDUCATOR STAFFING, SOME ADDITIONAL TIME FOR PRESCHOOL TEACHERS, AND THAT SPECIFICALLY ALIGNED WITH OUR INCLUSION AND PRACTICES AND INITIATIVES, KNOWING THAT OUR PRESCHOOL TEACHERS ARE CLASSIFIED STAFF, AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT NUMBER OF DAYS SO THEY COULD COLLABORATE WITH THE CERTIFICATED SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS THAT THEY ARE CO- TEACHING WITH.
ENSURING WE PROVIDE SOME RESERVES FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOURCES, AND THAT THE OVERALL BEHAVIOR AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR OUR STUDENTS. THOSE ARE OUR STRATEGIC ADS, THEY REALLY ALIGN WITH THE STRATEGIC GOAL AREAS.
THE OTHER ADS REALLY ARE AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL CATEGORY, ENSURING THAT OUR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC DIRECTORS HAD THE RIGHT NUMBER OF DAYS FOR THE APPROPRIATE SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS, PROVIDING A SUPPORT FOR DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS, AS YOU KNOW DURING THE PANDEMIC. IT REALLY OVER THE YEARS -- MIKE REALLY OVER THE YEARS TO INCREASE NURSING STAFFING, SO I BELIEVE THIS IS 5FTE, VISION MOBILITY STAFFING, IT IS BASED ON THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS. SO OUR SPECIAL SERVICES TEAM REPORTED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WOULD NEED THE SERVICE, AND JUST ALIGNING THAT STAFF WITH THAT STUDENT NEED, IN THAT NEXT CATEGORY OF SCHOOL OPERATIONS YOU WILL SEE CUSTODIAL ROVERS, AGAIN, THAT IS FILLING A CLASSIFIED SUBSTITUTE GAP, KNOWING THAT WE HAVE PREDOMINATELY ALL OF OUR CUSTODIAL POSITIONS FILLED, BUT WE HAVE ON AVERAGE ABOUT 10-15 OF THOSE POSITIONS, THAT GO UNFILLED WITHOUT AN APPROPRIATE SUBSTITUTE IN IT PER NIGHT, PER DAY, SO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE
[00:30:01]
HAVE STAFF TO COVER THOSE AS THEY ARE NEEDED.WE KNOW THAT COVID-19, IS STILL IN OUR COMMUNITY.
WE KNOW THE CURRENT REQUIREMENT AS RESPONDING TO COVID-19, AND SO THESE CASE MANAGERS, AND PREPARATION FOR THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL ON REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTING TO PUBLIC HEALTH, MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE TRACKING ALL OF THOSE DATA, IF THOSE REQUIREMENTS GO AWAY, THESE HELP SERVICE PROFESSIONALS WE DEFINITELY HAVE AN ADDITIONAL THINK THAT THEY CAN'T HELP SUPPORT, KNOWING THAT THERE IS GENERAL AND TYPICAL YOUTH VACCINE VACCINATION PROGRAMS, THAT NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE TENDING TO, AND A MYRIAD OF HEALTH SERVICE NEEDS. AND THEN THAT LAST ROW OF DISTRICT OPERATIONAL SUPPORT, SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT I WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER ON. ADDING SOME LEVEL OF ACCOUNTANT STAFFING, AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AS A DISTRICT, AND MAKING SURE THAT THE RIGHT NUMBER OF HOURS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL THAT SUPPORTS OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE, THE MAJORITY OF THESE ADS ARE REALLY IN THE ONE-TIME CATEGORY, WITH SOME OF IT BEING IN THE ONGOING CATEGORY, THAT REALLY IS IN RELATION TOO, KIND OF THIS THE INTENSITY OF NEED RIGHT NOW AROUND SOME OF THIS STUDENT BEHAVIORAL AND SUPPORTS, AND ALSO AS WE LOOK FORWARD WITH OUR OVERALL BUDGET KNOWING THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF ADDING SIX AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS TO OUR BUDGET TODAY, AND ONGOING DOLLARS SO THESE WILL BE ONGOING EVALUATIONS FOR US OVER THE YEARS.
>> ALL RIGHT I WILL TURN THIS OVER TO CHRIS BRANNIGAN THE DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS SERVICES AND HE WILL COVER THE MAIN PART
OF THE BUDGET THE GENERAL FUND. >> SO I GET TO GO OVER SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT WENT INTO BUILDING THE NEARLY $550 MILLION GENERAL FUND BUDGET. SO ENROLLMENT IS A KEY DRIVER OF BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE. AGASSI CAN SEE FROM THE CHART COVID-19 INTERRUPT THE RAPID ENROLLMENT GROWTH A FEW YEARS AGO. AND ENROLLMENT IS STILL EXPECTED TO DECLINE NEXT FALL. ACTUAL ENROLLMENT DECLINE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS ROSE 1.7%. ADDITIONAL DECLINE IS PROJECTED NEXT YEAR OF 2.3%. THAT IS THE ACTUAL DECLINE BUDGET TO BUDGET IS 1.5% DECREASE.
LAKE WASHINGTON HAD ONE OF THE LOWEST ENROLLMENT DECLINES COMPARED TO OTHER DISTRICTS IN KING AND PIERCE COUNTIES.
WE ARE CLOSELY MONITORING THE DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND EXPECTED TO BE DOING A TEMPORARY GIVEN THE CONTINUED BUSINESS AND ENROLLMENT GROWTH IN THE REGION. OR EMPLOYMENT GROWTH SORRY.
SO THE PRIOR CHART REFLECTED HEADCOUNT, AND COMPARED TO ACTUAL DATA THAT WAS PROPOSED BUDGET.
THIS IS 447 AVERAGE ANNUAL FTE BASIC ENROLLMENT IN ONLINE EDUCATION ENROLLMENT, THAT WERE PROJECTED TO DECREASE FROM THE 2021-2021 BUDGET TO THE 2022-2023 BUDGET, AND THAT REFLECTS A 1.5% DECREASE FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
AS YOU HEARD DURING THE STUDY SESSION THE AVERAGE ANNUAL STUDENT FTE, WERE FUNDED BASED ON ANNUAL AVERAGE FTE NOT BASED ON HEADCOUNT, WE ARE CONSERVATIVE WHEN WE DO THE BUDGET FOR ROMA. BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO OVERCOMMIT OUR REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES.
SHOULD WE HAVE MORE STUDENTS THAT COME IN THE FALL, WE HAVE BUDGET CONTINGENCIES BUILT IN OF 500 STUDENTS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO STAFF THOSE APPROPRIATELY. SHOULD THEY SHOW.
SO SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES IN REVENUES, ARE ON THIS NEXT LINE.
THE OVERALL BUDGET INCREASE IS 43% $1 MILLION.
THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A LOT, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE INCREASED BUDGET IS COMMITTED TO REQUIRE EXPENDITURES, OR PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONTINGENCY THAT IS OFFSET BY THE SAME AMOUNT IN THE EXPENDITURE BUDGET. THE LOCAL IMPACT INCREASE OF $5.7 MILLION, IT REVENUE IS DUE TO ENROLLMENT, REVENUE DECREASES OR REVENUE INCREASE DUE TO THE EPO AND REVENUE RENEWAL.
[00:35:01]
IN REVENUE CHANGES IN CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS LIES MULTI LINGUAL AND ALA. THE STATE FUNDING CHANGES THE INCREASE OF $23.3 MILLION THE MAIN DRIVER OF THIS IS THE INCREASE TO THE FIVE AND HALF% STAKEHOLDER, RM STOCKS AND HEALTH BENEFITS AND PENSIONS AND PROTOTYPICAL STAFFING CHANGES.THE FEDERAL GRANT IMPACT DECREASE OF $4.1 MILLION, IS DUE TO ASSER THREE FUNDS GOING AWAY IN A SHIP.
WE ARE SPENDING THIS YEAR A SPEED IN THE ORIGINAL ASSER FROM PLANT. SO WE SPENT THE FULL GRANT AMOUNT THIS YEAR. AND 21-22 WE ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO SPEND HALF OF THE TOTAL ASHER GRANT AND IN 21-22 AND THE OTHER HALF AND 22-23. TRANSPORTATION, $2 MILLION IS DUE TO THIS BASED ON THE 21-22 EXPENDITURE, SO THE WAY THE STATE FUND EXPENDITURE IS BASED ON PRIVATE PRIOR YEAR EXPENDITURES WITH OTHER FACTORS IN THERE, BUT WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, SCHOOL DISTRICTS WERE HELD HARMLESS THIS YEAR, BASED ON 19-20 FUNDING. UNDER OTHER IT SELF-SUPPORTING THERE IS AN INCREASE OF $16.2 MILLION REFLECTED THERE, THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS DUE TO THE FEDERAL AND LOCAL GRANT CONTINGENCY THAT WE BUILT IN GOING FROM 10000000-$20 MILLION, THAT IS OFFSET AGAIN ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE.
IT ALSO HAS THE INCREASE FOR THE SAFETY NET GRANT, BASED ON PROJECTED REVENUE. AND AS YOU RECALL WE DID A BUDGET EXTENSION EARLIER THIS YEAR, AS A RESULT OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH BUDGET CAPACITY SO WERE TRYING TO AVOID THAT BY BY GETTING THE CONTINGENCIES. ALSO INCLUDED EXTENDED A CHILD CARE, NUTRITION SERVICES, ACCELERATED PROGRAM, TESTING FEES, AND CAPITAL TRANSFERS AND OTHERS.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE REVENUES, THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL SEE IN SOME OF THE BUDGET DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE PREPARED FOR YOU, THIS IS A COMPARISON OF THE STATE DEFINED REVENUE CATEGORIES FROM PRIOR YEAR BUDGET TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET.
OVERALL REVENUE INCREASE REPRESENTS 9% FROM THE PRIOR YEAR, THE MAJORITY OF THIS IS DUE TO THE COAL AND BENEFIT PENSION CHANGES, IT ALSO REFLECTS THE INCREASE FOR CONTINGENCY AND THE INCREASE FOR SAFETY NET.
THE EXPENDITURE BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES ALL OF THESE CHANGES BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES THE INCREASE FOR FIXED COSTS, REQUIRED ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS, AND THE STRATEGIC WORK.
THE STATE APPORTIONMENT IS PRIMARILY TO LEGISLATIVE IMPACT FOR COLA BENEFITS IN STAFFING, WHAT DOES CHANGING TO STAFFING MODEL. THE STATE CATEGORICAL LINE IN THERE IS PRIMARY THE INCREASE OF SAFETY NET IN TRANSPORTATION IS 12.8%, FEDERAL CHANGE OF THAT IS THE REMOVAL OF THE SR THREE FUNDING FOR NEXT YEAR END ALSO THE FACT THAT THE SCHOOL ARE ONE 100% FEDERALLY FUNDED. THE CHANGE OF 16.4% TO THE LEVEE IS REFLECTING THE EPO LEVY THAT THE VOTERS APPROVED LAST FEBRUARY, THE FEE PROGRAMS INCREASE OF 99%, THEY REALLY JUST REFLECTS AS A PRIMER INCREASES THE $10 MILLION FOR THE CONTINGENCY, WHICH OFFSETS IN THE EXPENDITURES.
AND THEN ALSO THE RETURN OF CHARGING FOR ME AT FEES IN 2-23.
AND OTHER 7% IS THE INCREASE DUE TO TRANSFERS FROM CAPITAL PROJECTS TO PAY FOR TECH LEVY AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
>> I THINK DIRECTOR LALIBERTE HAS A QUESTION.
IF YOU DON'T MIND. >> I JUST DID NOT FOLLOW THE FEE PROGRAM INCREASE OF WHY COMING YOU SAID 99% INCREASE IT KIND OF JUMPS OUT ON THE SCREEN. WHY SUCH A LARGE PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN $12 MILLION WHY A LARGE DOLLAR INCREASE.
>> 10 MILLION OF THE 12 MILLION IS FOR THE CONTINGENCY THAT WE ARE BUILDING GOING FROM 10 MILLION TO 20 MILLION.
>> TO CONTINGENCY TOWARDS WHAT? >> FOR GRANTS AND OTHER LOCAL
COSTS. >> WHY IS IT IN THE FEE PROGRAM LINE ITEM IF IT IS A CONTINGENCY FOR SOME GRANTS.
[00:40:07]
>> IS NOT NECESSARILY A FEDERAL GRANT SORRY.
>> OUT OF THE $20 MILLION THAT WE PROVIDED CONTINGENCY FOR GRANTS AND DONATIONS, HALF OF IT IS WHAT WE CALL LOCAL, SO WE CONSIDER IT LOCAL DONATIONS AND HALF THE BUDGET IN FEDERAL.
SO WE INCREASED 5 MILLION OF THAT INCREASE IS THE IN OUR DONATIONS WHICH IS IN THE LOCAL PEACE.
IT WENT FROM 500-0000-10 MILLION AND THE OTHER HALF IS IN THE FEDERAL PROGRAM. SO THE DIFFERENCE OF 12 MILLION AND THE FEES, AGAIN CHRIS MENTIONED IT IS THE GIFTS AND THE DONATIONS, IT IS 7 MILLION OF THAT, THAT IS NUTRITION SERVICES, SO THAT 7 MILLION WAS IN FEDERAL, LAST YEAR, IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR TWO YEARS, BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAYING FOR THE MEALS. SO HAVING THAT 7 MILLION BACK IN FEE PROGRAMS IS WHAT IT WAS TOO PRE-PANDEMIC, SO THAT IS THE MAJOR CHANGES IS 7 MILLION IN SCHOOL MEAL FEES FIVE MILLIONS AND GIFT INTONATIONS, AND THEN JUST A SMALL AMOUNT IN OTHER ITEMS. DOES THAT HELP?
>> YES THANK YOU I THINK I AM SORT OF GETTING THERE.
TO FEES FOR SCHOOL LUNCH MAKES SENSE.
I CAN SEE. AND THAT WOULD BUT THE, I'M STILL SCRATCHING MY HEAD AS TO WHY WE INCLUDE DONATIONS AS IN THE FEE PROGRAM WHY NOT A LINE ITEM?
>> WELL IT IS LOCAL THE ACTUAL STATE DEFINED CODING IS CALL LOCAL NONTAX SO YOU HAVE YOUR FEES AND THERE.
>> I SAY. >> YOU HAVE DONATIONS,.
>> SO I'M SORRY. >> YES THE TITLE IS FEE PROGRAMS BUT IT INCLUDES ANYTHING A GRANT OR A GIFT OR A FINES OR FEES OR RENTALS OR LEASES, ALL OF THOSE TYPES OF REVENUES ARE INCLUDED
>> ANYTHING THAT IS NOT STATE, FEDERAL, OR GOVERNMENTAL, GETS PUT IN THE FEE PROGRAM AND WE CAN CERTAINLY UPDATE THAT TITLE TO LOCAL FEE IS EASY TO SAY LOCAL NONTAX.
>> IT CERTAINLY IS, AND YOU ONLY HAVE SO MUCH ROOM FOR THE TITLE
AND I UNDERSTAND OKAY THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.
>> I DON'T THINK HE IS WRONG, I READ FEE PROGRAMS OH MY GOD WILL GET A RAISE $12 MILLION OF AND PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS? ANOTHER TITLE WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT THANK YOU.
EVEN IF IT IS FAKE. >> WE WILL CERTAINLY UPDATE
THAT. >> THE FACT THAT YOU DID NOT OTHER SPORTS PARTICIPATIONS OR PANDEMIC.
>> LOCAL NONTAX WOULD BE PERFECT.
>> THANK YOU BOTH SORRY FOR DERAILING THAT I WOULD JUST
SCRATCH MY HEAD. >> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU NOW YOU
CAN CONTINUE GOING ON. >> SO SOME OF THE KEY CHANGES ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE WE ARE SHOWING, SO JUST REAL QUICKLY.
PREVIOUSLY WE WERE SHOWING REVENUE DECREASES AS IT READ DOWN ARROW AND REVENUE DECREASES AS THE RED UP ARROW ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE BECAUSE EXPENDITURES ARE GOING DOWN GREEN ARROW AND A RED UP AT ROOM FOR INCREASE EXPENDITURES.
OVERALL EXPENDITURES THIS REPRESENTS A 9% INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR, TOTAL OF 45.8 MILLION, THIS REFLECTS A DECREASE OF 2.4 MILLION IN STAFFING DUE TO ENROLLMENT, THIS IS FOR BASIC AT AN SPECIAL ED DECREASE LIKE YOU SAW EARLIER.
IT ALSO REFLECTS $27.4 MILLION IN COMPENSATION BENEFITS AND PENSION, ON THE STATE CATEGORY SELF-SUPPORTING PROGRAMS, IT IS A AN INCREASE OF $13.8 MILLION, THIS INCLUDES SOME OF THE CONTINGENCY THE OR THREE CHANGE, THE SPECIAL ED SAFETY NET, MULTILINGUAL ALA, ONLINE CHANGE, LAB STABILIZATION, TRANSFERS, BRAND-NEW START ENTITLED TO. THE FIXED COSTS REPRESENTS THE $1.9 MILLION FOR THE INSURANCE INCREASES IN THE UTILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS AND FUEL COSTS AND ELECTION COST.
THEN WE ARE SUBTRACTING $1.4 MILLION FOR THE ONE-TIME EXPENDITURE FROM THE PREVIOUSLY THAT WERE IN THE 21-22 BUDGET AS
[00:45:04]
PLANNED, THAT ARE CONTINUING. AND THEN THE STRATEGIC AND ORGANIZATIONAL WORK THAT JOHN WENT OVER FOR THE 6.5 MILLION.THIS IS A REQUIRED LEGISLATIVE SLIDE TO SHARE WITH YOU AS THE MATERIALS SUPPLY OPERATING COSTS.
IT SHOWS THAT WE ARE GETTING $41 MILLION IN STATE FUNDED M SOCKS, AND EXPENDITURES OF 29.6 MILLION THAT IS A DIFFERENCE OF 11.4 MILLION AND IT IS BEING USED FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION, SUBSTITUTE COST, PROFESSIONAL LEARNING, COMPENSATION FOR CURRICULUM WORK AND MEETINGS AND TRAININGS.
ALL OF THESE ITEMS HAVE AN OBVIOUS EDUCATIONAL BENEFIT AND IMPACT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT. THIS IS A BUDGET VIEW OF THE EXPENDITURE BY PROGRAM, OVERALL INCREASE IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE STATE-FUNDED CHANGES FOR COLA, BENEFITS AND ATTIC CONTINGENCIES, ALSO INCLUDED ARE CHANGES TO CATEGORICAL GRANTS AND BUDGET FOR THE ORGANIZATIONAL AND STRATEGIC NEEDS. SOME OF THE LARGER VARIANCES BY PROGRAM INCLUDE THE ALTERNATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE, 96.4%, THAT REFLECTS THE SAME AMATEUR VALLEY ONLINE SCHOOL THAT WAS NOT BUDGETED AND ELLIE LAST YEAR BUT IT IS BEEN BUDGETED UNDER THAT PROGRAM IN 22-23. THE FEDERAL STIMULUS SR THREE FUNDS, DECREASE OF 93.7%, THE MAJORITY OF THE ASSER THREE BUDGET IS NOT THERE FOR NEXT SHARE OF THE SMALL AMOUNT THAT IS IN THAT THE 256,000 REPRESENTS THE LAP STABILIZATION FUNDS THAT WERE THERE FOR FEDERAL DOLLARS.
ON SPECIAL EDUCATION, THAT INCLUDES THE SAFETY NET GRANTS, ON CTE, EVEN THOUGH OUR ENROLLMENT IS DECREASING IN BASIC AT WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN THE CTE ENROLLMENTS AND THAT REQUIRES US TO SHIFT OUR EXPENDITURE FROM BASIC ADD TO CTE. AND OTHER INSTRUCTION, THE 74.6%, THAT INCLUDES THE INCREASE FOR CONTINGENCY WHICH IS OFFSET AND INCREASED IN REVENUES.
SO YOU CAN SEE I THINK THIS IS A TOTAL OF $547.2 MILLION.
SO STATE REQUIRES US TO PROVIDE A FOUR YEAR OUTLOOK.
THE DISTRICT HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY PRUDENT IN BUDGETING, AND WE HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED BEYOND JUST THE ONE YEAR VIEW, AND WE HAVE DONE THE LONG TERM ENROLLMENT AND FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, THAT HAS HELPED US MAKE DECISIONS AND KEEP THE LONG TERM VIEW AND NINE. THE BUDGET PLAN WAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WITH THE ROMA CHANGES PLAN FUTURE COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE MANDATES, THE BUDGET INCLUDES SOME ONE-TIME SPENDING SO AS NOT TO COMMIT FUTURE DOLLARS THAT ARE NOT THERE.
SO YOU SEE THAT WE ASSUMED ON THE REVENUE SIDE ENROLLMENT, A MINIMAL GROWTH OF .5% PER YEAR 150 KIDS.
MODEL CHANGE THAT HAS BEEN PHASED THEN, OVER THREE YEARS FOR 2024-25. AN AVERAGE OF 2% PER YEAR FOR THE COLA INCREASE FOR 23-24 AND BEYOND.
WE ARE NOT PROJECTING ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE FUNDING. AND THE LEVY AMOUNTS ARE BASED ON THE ORDER OF APPROVALS. ON THE EXPENDITURE ASSUMPTIONS, CLASSIFIED ADMINISTRATIVE SAMPLING IS ALIGNED WITH ENROLLMENT GROWTH IN STAFFING RATIOS, AND ON OUR ONGOING FIXED COSTS INCREASES ARE INCLUDED STRATEGIC ADS IN THE REDUCTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR ESTIMATING 10 MILLION FOR 24-25 AND 3,000,025 AND 26 NEEDING TO BE REDUCED FROM THAT BUDGET.
AND THIS IS THE SUMMARY VIEW WITH THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS.
LET'S SEE, THE DISTRICT'S CURRENT FOUR YEAR PLAN WAS PREPARED TO ACCOUNT FOR ENROLLMENT GROWTH AND LEGISLATIVE MANDATES THE PLAN IS ALSO BASED ON CURRENT DATA AND REASONABLE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS.
WE WERE FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE FUNDS AND COVID-19 AND STUDENT NEEDS. FUND BALANCE IS DECREASING IN 21-22 DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC AND ADDITIONAL SUPPORT THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE IN 22-23, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE PROJECTING A BEGINNING FUND BALANCE OF $70.6 MILLION INCLUDING THE RESERVE FOR ECONOMIC IMPACT AND REVENUES OF $519.3 MILLION IN EXPENDITURES OF 547.1 MILLION, WITH THEIR PROJECTED ENDING FUND BALANCE OF $50.8 MILLION. AT THE END OF 22-23, THE PLANNED
[00:50:02]
USE OF FUND BALANCE OF 27.8 MILLION.THE DISTRICT COMMITTED 40 MILLION IN FUND BALANCE AT THE BEGINNING OF 21-22. BUDGET FOR ECONOMIC STABILIZATION. THE DISTRICT USES THESE FUNDS TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF COVID-19, AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE THESE FUNDS AND 22-23, THE PLAN TO BEGIN 22-23 WITH $30 MILLION COMMITTED, AND THE FUND BALANCE COMMITTING STABILIZATION WILL BE PHASED OUT BY THE END OF THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR.
THE BUDGET PROJECTION REFLECTS THE KIDNEYS TO YOU FUND BALANCE AND ANTICIPATED TO BRING EXPENDITURES AND ALIGNMENT RESOURCES BY 25-26. THEY WILL MAINTAIN A MINIMUM OF 5% OF REVENUES. SO YOU CAN SEE BY THE REDUCED $10 MILLION IN 24-25, WE HAVE A USE OF FUND BALANCE OF 3.1 AND REDUCE THAT ANOTHER 3 MILLION, AND THE OUT YEARS BEYOND 25-26 ACTUALLY SHOWS THE FUND BALANCE GOING UP THAT'S.
THE 3 MILLION. AND THAT IS THE BUDGET SUMMARY, AND THE NEXT STEPS AGAIN, PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, JUNE 28-AUGUST 7. THE NEXT PUBLIC HEARING AUGUST 8, AND BUDGETED OPTION HOPEFULLY ON AUGUST 22.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ASK IF ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DIRECTOR LALIBERTE?
>> I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS AROUND THE 4-YEAR-OLD LOOKS LIKE COULD BACK TO THAT. IT IS THERE IS SOME SLIGHT CHANGES THAN I CAN GUESS WHAT SOME OF THOSE ARE.
ONE I NOTICED IS THE I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE BUSES THAT YOU BROUGHT UP EARLIER THE EXPENDITURES IN THIS YEAR AND THEY ARE $400,000 HIGHER THAN WE START THE STUDY SESSION, THE STUDY SESSION THE TOTAL EXPENDITURES THERE WERE ESTIMATED IN THE FOR YOUR BUDGET WHERE 547 MILLION, AND 500,000, AND IN THIS IT IS 500 WAIT A MINUTE HERE.
SO IT WAS ACTUALLY LOWER, HOLD ON I HAD THIS BACKWARDS.
THIS IS WHY I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION.
OKAY WAIT HOPE NEVER MIND ACTUALLY $400,000.
>> IT IS $400,000 LOWER, THE REVENUES ARE JUST SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN WE SHOW IN THE STUDY SESSION AND EXPENDITURES ARE JUST SLIGHTLY LOWER, BECAUSE AS WE ARE STILL WORKING ALL HOURS OF THE DAY TO GET THE BUDGET INTO OUR FISCAL SYSTEM AND BALANCE, SO WHEN WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH THE BOARD THEY ARE CLOSE BUT THEY ARE NOT EXACT NUMBERS BASED ON ALL OF THE INPUT THAT NEED TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO GET THE BUDGET INTO THAT F1 95 FORMAT. SO CHRIS'S THEME HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO GET THE NUMBERS AND THESE ARE THE FINAL
OUTCOMES OF THE BUDGET CHANGES. >> WHAT WOULD, SO THE REVENUE FIGURES THAT WE ARE SEEING TODAY, EACH YEAR ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN WHAT WE SAW THE STUDY SESSION.
>> SOME OF THAT IS BASED ON CONTINGENCY, SO WHEN WE SHOWED YOU THE STUDY SESSION, WE ESTIMATED THE 500 STUDENT CONTINGENCY AND WHEN WE ACTUALLY PLUGGED IN THOSE REVENUE FIGURES, IT WOULD JUST CALCULATE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.
AND SO THOSE ALL THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED IN THE STUDY
>> IT IS AGENCY, WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING ON SPENDING THOSE DOLLARS. AND WE KNOW THAT IN OUT YEARS, WE ARE GOING TO MONITOR WHAT OUR ACTUAL ENROLLMENT IS THIS FALL AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE THE OUTLOOK.
>> OKAY SO THE CHANGES ARE NOT DUE TO CHANGES IN ENROLLMENT?
IT IS THE CONTINGENCY PIECE? >> NO, THE CHANGES ARE FINE-TUNING ALL OF THE IMPORTS INTO 4500 STAFF, ALL OF THE MISCELLANEOUS YOU KNOW AS I SAID THE SUBSTITUTE COSTS, THE PER DIEM, IT IS GOING THROUGH THE BUDGET WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB, AND MAKING SURE WE HAVE DOUBTED ALL OF THE EYES AND CROSS ALL OF THE TEAS, AND SO IT IS JUST REALLY THOSE THEY WERE JUST
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. >> NOW I SEE THE MATH I RECOGNIZE IT IS ADJUSTMENTS LESS THAN 1% SO UNDERSTOOD.
>> OKAY THAT IS HELPFUL, OKAY,. >> BUT THANK YOU FOR NOTICING THE CHANGE. WE APPRECIATED.
>> YOU HAD ME REALLY WORRIED THAT THERE WAS A BIG CHANGE THAT
I HAD NOT NOTICED. >> NO THERE IS NOT, I WAS
CURIOUS TO KNOW WHY. >> THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE.
[00:55:02]
>> OKAY, AND THEN STAYING ON THIS, THE ONE BIG LARGER CHANGE, IS OUR EXPENDITURES IN THE FINAL YEAR OF THIS, ESTIMATE OUR ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES ARE 2.8 MILLION HIGHER.
DO WE HAVE A SENSE. >> I BELIEVE WE UPDATED AND HAVE TO GO BACK TO LOOK FOR SURE, BUT I BELIEVE.
THE ESTIMATE FOR THE LOCAL BECAUSE OF THE COLA, SO AS THE STATE PROVIDES ADDITIONAL COLA FOR EVERY 1% THE STATE PROVIDES US IT COSTS US ABOUT 1 MILLION TO 1 MILLION AND A HALF, AS THEY COMPOUND ON EACH OTHER THE COST GET MORE EXPENSIVE EACH YEAR.
SO I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE UPDATE I AM TRYING TO THINK IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THAT?
>> OKAY, I JUST I WANT TO MAKE SURE I HEARD CHRIS RAY, IF WE WORK TO EXTEND THIS CHART OUT, THE ONE UP ON THE SCREEN THE COLUMNS OF FURTHER, AFTER 25-26 YOU WOULD ESTIMATE AT THAT.IF THEY SPLAYED OUT WE WOULD NO LONGER BE USING THE FUND
BALANCE? >> RIGHT, THE GOAL IS TO HAVE EXPENDITURES EQUAL TO REVENUE, SO IN THAT WE ARE MAINTAINING
OUR 5% FUND BALANCE. >> IN FACT BY THAT LAST YEAR WE ARE BASICALLY THROUGH AT THAT POINT.
>> AND WE KNOW THAT THEY CAN FLEX A LITTLE BIT.
UP AND DOWN DEPENDING ON WHERE ENROLLMENT IS, SO WE WANT TO UPDATE AGAIN THINGS CAN CHANGE IN A COUPLE YEARS WHEN IT COMES TO ENROLLMENT. THAT'S WHY WE DON'T GO TOO FAR BEYOND THE FOUR YEAR OUTLOOK, BECAUSE WE KNOW IT IS GOING TO CHANGE IT WILL BE DIFFERENT IN THE FALL ONCE WE KNOW WHAT OUR
ACTUAL ENROLLMENT AS. >> CAN I ASK ONE LAST QUESTION.
>> ABSOLUTELY THAT'S WHY WE ARE AHEAD.
>> WHILE I DIDN'T WANT TO MONOPOLIZE, DURING THIS PROCESS AS WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS AND STUDY SESSIONS, MAYBE IT WOULD JUST ONCE OR TWICE, THERE WAS AN UPDATE TO WHAT WE BUDGETED FOR ENROLLMENT.
IS THERE ANOTHER DECISION, OR ANOTHER POINT IN WHICH THAT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN IN THIS BUDGET PROCESS?
>> IT WOULD BE UNLIKELY TO INCREASE THE BUDGET SO WE WILL PROBABLY NOT CHANGE THE BUDGET BECAUSE IT IS A LOT OF EXTRA WORK TO PUT ANOTHER HUNDRED STUDENTS IN THE BUDGET BUT THAT'S WHAT WE PUT THE 500 AND CONTINGENCY SO IF WE DO START TO SEE A TRAIN THAT THE ENROLLMENT IS HIGHER THAN WE PROJECTED, THAT 500 CONTINGENCY ALLOWS US TO HAVE THE EXPENDITURE CAPACITY SHOULD THAT REVENUE COME IN. THE LAST TIME YOU SHARE WITH THE BOARD AS WE BUMPED OUR KINDERGARTEN PROTECTIONS TO 1803 TO 1900 STUDENTS, WE ARE TRACKING TO 1900 WE MAY AGAIN THE TRENDS ARE POTENTIALLY WE MAY SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN 1900 SO WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER, AND WE WILL LET YOU KNOW IT WOULD LIKELY TO CAUSE US TO CHANGE OUR
>> ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?
>> I HAVE ONE IN REGARDS TO THE ONLINE SCHOOL AND NOW IT IS UNDER A LE, AND I AM TRYING TO REMEMBER THE FUNDING FOR AOP
STUDENT, IS THAT DIFFERENT. >> IT IS,.
>> WHAT IS THAT. >> IT IS BASED ON THE RUNNING START FORMULA AND IT IT'S A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE BASIC
AMOUNT. >> IT IS LOWER THAN THE BE EA, BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE SECONDARY KIDS IT IS PRETTY DOWN
CLOSE. >> SO IT IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT
>> OKAY THAT IS GOOD TO KNOW. >> AND WE DIDN'T BUDGET THE ONLINE SAMMAMISH RIVER SCHOOL AS A ELDERLY IN THE LAST YEAR'S BUDGET BUT THIS YEAR THEY ARE IN A LP BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY.
>> WE REPORTED ON THAT WAY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T.
>> BUT WE HAD NOT BUDGETED THEM LAST YEAR.
>> BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 2.0 THAT HAD COME THROUGH OKAY.
>> WELL, WE DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME THAT WE DID THE BUDGET WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO WITH ONLINE, SO WE ARE USING A L LEAD THIS SCHOOL YEAR THE 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR, AND NOW THE BUDGET
REFLECTS THAT. >> WILL WE BE CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT IN THE COMING YEARS AS WELL? OKAY. THANK YOU I WAS JUST CURIOUS, THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WHICH MAY BE PERHAPS TO GO TO DR.
HOMAN, WAS U.S. SPOKE ABOUT BEHAVIOR HEALTH AND MENTAL
[01:00:03]
HEALTH UNDER STUDENT STRATEGIC SUPPORT.JUST REMIND ME WHAT WERE THE SPECIFICS THAT BEHAVIOR DEAN AND THINGS MY OTHER QUESTIONS AROUND RESTORATIVE PRACTICE IN LOOKING AT THOSE OPTIONS AND WHAT EXACTLY DID THAT MEAN IN THAT
AREA? >> SO THIS SPECIFIC BUDGET ITEM YOU SPOKE TO HAS TWO COMPONENTS, FIRST IS THE RIGHTSIZING OF OUR CURRENT SERVICES BUDGET, AND SO IT SEEMS LIKE WITH EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW COSTS INCREASED SO, PART OF THIS BUDGET IS AN ALLOCATION OF $200,000 JUST TO MAINTAIN WHAT WE ARE PROVIDED FOR STUDENTS WITH OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING FULL TIME MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS FOR OUR TO A LARGER CHOICE SCHOOLS. BOTH TESTS LETS THEM HIGH SCHOOL AND ICS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE HALFTIME SERVICE PROVIDER.
SO THIS WILL BE ABLE TO INCREASE THOSE SUPPORTS FOR NEXT YEAR.
I THINK IT IS ALSO ALL IMPORTANT TO NOTE THERE ARE OTHER WAYS WE ARE ADDRESSING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH, SUCH AS THROUGH ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHY HE ASKED, THEY RECEIVED A GRANT, AND THEY WILL BE ALLOCATING TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, IN INCREASING SUPPORT FROM HALFTIME CLOSER TO A FULL TIME MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR AT EACH OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS.
SO YOU DO NOT SEE THAT IN THE BUDGET, THAT IS INFORMATION THAT WE WILL ALSO SHARE WITH THE BOARD AT A STUDY SESSION IN AUGUST, AROUND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, THEY REALLY ARE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING SUPPORTS FOR OUR
STUDENT INCOMPREHENSIBLY. >> GREAT THANK YOU.
IN DIRECTOR STUART? >> YOU JUST SAID IT WAS THE YES GRANT THAT THEY RECEIVED. IT WAS A HALF PERSON OR FOR MOTION SUPPORT AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS, WHAT DOES THAT ADDRESS THE QUESTION FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH AMS?
>> THE PUBLIC, THAT YOU RECEIVE THIS EVENING.
SO I THINK THAT COMMENT IS IN RELATION TO OUR TYPICAL STAFFING PROCESS, AND THE MAJORITY OF OUR STAFF IS CONDUCTED ON A RATIO BASIS, SO THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS EQUALS THE NUMBER OF STAFF, AND FROM TIME TO TIME THAT ALSO AFFECTS OUR COUNSELOR THE ACADEMIC COUNSELING PROGRAM AT OUR SCHOOLS, I BELIEVE THAT IS THE KIRKLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS REPORTING, DOES THIS FILL THAT GAP, NO BUT IT IS A TYPICAL PROCESS TO STAFF OUR SCHOOLS ACCORDING TO ENROLLMENT. IN THE RECALL IS THERE A ANOTHER SCHOOL IN OUR DISTRICT THAT AT THE SAME OR A SIMILAR REDUCTION?
BASED ON. >> TIMBERLINE MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS REDUCED TO HALF HER COUNSELOR BASED ON ENROLLMENT, AND I LOOKED BACK YOU KNOW A FEW YEARS AND WE HAVE HAD OTHER SCHOOLS SMALLER IN THE PAST FOR INHALE AND CUT MY AGAIN, WERE SMALLER THAN THEY ARE NOW, AND THEY AT THE SAME COUNSELOR STAFFING, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF THE ENROLLMENT LEVELS.
>> I GUESS THE CONCERN IS, AND I GO BE ON THE ONE PLAYER BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS ISSUING THE SAME CONCERNS, THAT OKAY WE'VE HAD A REDUCTION IN HEADCOUNT IF YOU WILL, SO WE HAVE A REDUCTION IN STAFFING, BUT HAVE WE HAD A REDUCTION IN THE NEED FOR INTENSITY OF SERVICES? SO HAS THE NEED FOR SERVICES GONE UP PERHAPS THE HEADCOUNT IS GONE DOWN, I THINK THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO CONCERN THE PARENTS.
>> I THINK TO THAT POINT, DIRECTOR STUART THE ADDITIONAL YES COUNSELING SUPPORT WOULD PROVIDE BENEFIT IN THAT REALM.
I ASKED ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT MATT KILLING HIM TO WORK WITH HIS TEAM TO PROVIDE RESPONSE AND THAT RESPONSIBILITY.
JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SCHOOLS.
THAT DO HAVE A REDUCTION, AS WE MOVE INTO THE INITIATE.
>> I THINK IT WAS HELPFUL WHEN EVER WE HAVE A SITUATION LIKE THAT WE FIND BETTER PARENTS, BECAUSE I CAN SEE THAT BEING A CONFUSION FACTOR. AND NOW THAT WE HAVE GIVEN HOW IT WILL BE COVERED, I THINK IT WILL BE LESS CONCERNED, PERHAPS
NOT. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL WITH THAT I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO STAFF FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE IN PULLING THIS TOGETHER, I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF WORK, I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION, AND GIVING THAT AND EXPLAINING IT VERY WELL AND CLEARLY, AND THE BUDGET CLEARLY IS LOOKING AT A WHOLE CHILD CONCEPT EVER REALLY BEING ABLE TO PULL IN ALL THOSE COMPONENTS IN THE STRATEGIC
[01:05:02]
FOCUS IS TO BE ABLE TO PULL FORWARD, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR EFFORTS, AND JUST FOR THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT IT IS AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEND YOUR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, THERE IS SOMEBODY THERE IS MONITORING THAT, AND WE WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON AUGUST 8 COME UP WITH FORMAL BOARD ACTION BY AUGUST 22. ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL US IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WITH THAT, WAIT DR. HOLMAN WANTS TOSAY SOMETHING ELSE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THE TEAM LED BY CHRIS AND BRENT AGAIN AS THE BOARD KNOWS, WE HAD A LONG TIME BUDGET MANAGER LYNN PIKE RETIRE, THIS LAST YEAR.
AND SOMEONE WHO IS BEEN DOING IT FOR 30 YEARS AS A FUTURE UP HER SLEEVE, SO THE TEAM HAD TO LEARN WHERE THOSE TRICKS WERE HELD.
AND WE HIRED A NEW BUDGET MANAGER KEVIN SIMONS THROUGH THIS PROCESS, AND JUST REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE EXCELLENT WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS, BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE HERE, ALL OF THE DETAIL AND THE REQUIREMENTS BEHIND THE SCENES TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THESE DUAL DISTRICT BUDGET IS QUITE SUBSTANTIAL. SO IT WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE ON FRIDAY WHEN I WORK THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT, THEY HAVE A TRADITION WHERE THEY CELEBRATE THEIR FINAL BUDGET WORK WITH ICE CREAM. AND SO.
>> THAT IS A BRAND-NEW. >> IT IS A BRAND-NEW TRADITION.
ANYWAYS, JUST THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS A FEW WEEKENDS INVOLVED WITH THAT REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING INTO THAT. TO BRING US A REALLY QUALITY
BUDGET. >> THE WHOLE TEAM DID A GREAT JOB AND PUTTING IN A LOT OF TIME PUT IN THE TOGETHER SO I REALLY
APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK. >> THANK YOU CHRIS.
>> THANK YOU AND SO WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS AN ACTION ON THE PURPOSE OF REAL PROPERTY IT APPEARS DR. HOLMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO INTRODUCE
THIS? >> IS TO BRIEFLY AND THEN ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT HAS SLICED TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD.
PRIOR TO TAKING ACTION, AS THE BOARD KNOWS, THE NEED FOR SPACE FOR SCHOOLS IN BUILDINGS ACROSS OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS A NEED.
AND BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC PROPERTIES THAT STRATEGICALLY ALLOW US TO REALLY THINK AND BE CREATIVE AROUND HOW WE PROVIDE SPACE FOR STUDENTS, POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERSHIP, THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE WORK TOWARDS.
JUST LAST YEAR, THE PURCHASE OF THE CADMAN PROPERTY HERE IN REDMOND, WAS A REALLY KEY PIECE OF OUR LONG-TERM FUTURE, THE PROPERTY THAT IS PRESENTED TO YOU TONIGHT, THAT YOU HAVE REALLY CONSIDERED OVER THE LAST YEAR, IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE PURCHASES THAT REALLY IS STRATEGIC WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT SPACE, TO DATE YES, BUT REALLY INTO THE FUTURE. SO BARBARA WILL PROVIDE
INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROPERTY. >> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH PLEASED TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING THE RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY SPECIFICALLY TO .07 ACRES ADJACENT TO COME I CAN MIDDLE SCHOOL OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE RAY PROPERTY THIS IS THE MAP OF THE DISTRICT, AND NORTHERN KIND OF CENTRAL PART WHERE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS.
IT IS THE PROPERTY, AND IT IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF KIRKLAND. SO JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROPERTY, IT IS AGAIN 2.0 7 ACRES, IT IS THROUGH BOSSES IT CONTAINS ONE HOME YOU CAN SEE THE RED BOUNDARY DESCRIBES THE PROPER. GO MIKAN IS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS ON THE LEFT, AND THEN MIRROR ELEMENTARY IS ACROSS THE STREET ON THE RIGHT. IT IS IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE CAMPUS, THE FACILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MET THROUGH FALL OF 2019 THROUGH JANUARY OF 2021, RECOMMENDED THAT OF FUTURE FUNDING MEASURE INCLUDES A REBUILT AND POOR EXPANSION OF COME I CAN MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO AS PART OF THAT LONG-TERM BUILDING THE PURCHASE OF THIS PROPERTY WILL ALLOW MAXIMUM UTILIZATION OF THE COME I CAN MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS.
WE HAVE WE LOOKED AT THE WHOLE SITE AND PROVIDED INFORMATION ABOUT THE ABILITY TO CITE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS ON THE
[01:10:01]
CAMPUS, SO IT REALLY PROVIDES LOTS OF FLEXIBILITY.D SPACE COULD ALSO ALLOW THE POTENTIAL FOR A PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY AS WELL. THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PROPERTY IS $4,097,500, TWO FUNDS THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY WE ARE USING THE REMAINING BALANCE FROM THE 2016 BOND PROJECT, WHICH IS PRIMARILY STATE CONSTRUCTING ASSISTANCE FUNDS. THE TIMELINE FOR THIS NEXT STEP, WE SIGNED THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT ON JUNE 2.
IN THE END THAT BEGINS A FEASIBILITY PERIOD OF 60 DAYS, SO THAT IS OCCURRING NOW, SO OUR DISTRICT BRINGS IN CONSULTANTS TO REVIEW AND INSPECT THE PROPERTY, WE HAVE HOME INSPECTORS BECAUSE THERE IS A HOME ON THE PROPERTY, WE HAVE ENGINEERS, LAND SURVEYORS ET CETERA.
SO THAT IS OCCURRING RIGHT NOW. TO ACCOMMODATE THE BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE, WE ARE REQUESTING THE BOARD PROVIDE A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TONIGHT. TO WAIVE THE BOARD APPROVAL CONTINGENCY WHICH IS DUE BY AUGUST 1.
SO THE FEASIBILITY PERIOD, WITHIN 60 DAYS WE WILL DETERMINE YES, THIS IS FEASIBLE, AND THEN WE WOULD WAIVE THAT FEASIBILITY ALONG WITH THE BOARD CONTINGENCY WHICH IS DUE AUGUST 1, AND THEN IF ALL OF THE INSPECTIONS AND THE BOARD APPROVAL CONTINGENCY IS SATISFIED, THEN WE PROVIDE NOTICE TO THE SELLERS, AND CLOSING WOULD OCCUR ON AUGUST 31.
SO THAT IS THE TIMELINE. LET ME JUST SEE, THIS JUST THIS IS MY LAST SLIDE, BUT THESE ARE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS DURING THE HOUR OF CODE EVENT, SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO THANK THE RAY FAMILY, BARBARA AND NORMA RAE.
THEY HAVE FLOWN THEIR PROPERTY FOR 64 YEARS.
THAT DAUGHTERS HILARY AND MARIANNE SADLY MR. RAY PASSED AWAY IN FEBRUARY, BUT WE WANT TO THANK THE FAMILY FOR PARTNERING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE COMMUNITY AND HELPING US TO ENSURE STUDENTS HAVE PLACES TO LEARN.
I WANT TO THANK THE LEGAL COUNSEL DAVID JOHNSTON, WHO WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE FAMILY TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT, I WANT TO THANK BRIAN BUCK OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES WHO'S LEADING THE TEAM TO REVIEW AND ASSESS A PROPERTY, AND FINALLY I WANT TO THANK THE COMMUNITY FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF SCHOOLS IN BOND MEASURES WHICH MAKES THESE PURCHASES POSSIBLE.
SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
IF THERE IS ANY QUESTIONS? >> DIRECTOR LALIBERTE?
>> AS FAR AS FEASIBILITY FOR THE PROPERTY, I MEAN, ALL WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT IS THE WORK THROUGH RIGHT?
>> YOU WE ARE STILL GOING TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND TAKE SOIL SAMPLES AND MAKE SURE THE HOUSE IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND CONDITION THAT IT COULD BE. JUST WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY. TO ENSURE YET.
>> OKAY AND SO THE WAIVER BY THE BOARD TODAY, IS HOW DID YOU PHRASE IT? HOW DID YOU FREEZE EARLY?
>> SO WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY ACTING ON IT IS CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TO WAIVE BOARD APPROVAL CONTINGENCY BY AUGUST 1, SO YOU ARE GIVING APPROVAL TO WEIGH THE CONTINGENCY BY AUGUST 1, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, AND THEN GIVING US PERMISSION TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTION. BASICALLY, IF WE ONCE WE DECIDE, ONCE WE DO THE FEASIBILITY, AND WE SEE FEASIBILITY THIS PROPERTY IS WE BELIEVE IS FEASIBLE TO PURCHASE AND IS NO CONCERN FOR THE CAUSE US TO PUT A HOLD ON THE PURCHASE, THEN THE BOARD GIVES US APPROVAL TO GO AHEAD AND WAIVE FEES WAY IT WOULD BOARD APPROVAL BY AUGUST 1. SO LET'S SEE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I USE CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TONIGHT TO WAIVE
>> AND THEN WE WILL I THINK I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD IS BEING ASKED BY CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TO WAIVE THE BOARD OF
CONTINGENCY. >> THAT MAKE SENSE TO ME.
>> THAT IS WHAT IS IN THE SITUATION FOR IN THE BOARD
>> IF THE EXPECTED CONTINGENCY AND THE BOARD APPROVAL CONTINGENCY ARE SATISFIED, AND THE DISTRICT PROVIDES NOTICE TO THE SELLERS WHICH IS DUE BY AUGUST 1, THEN WE HAVE ALREADY GIVEN THE EARNEST MONEY THAT WILL BE NONREFUNDABLE.
AND THEN WE WILL CLOSE. >> OKAY.
[01:15:02]
>> SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS SEND AN E-MAIL TO THE BOARD, JUST TO SAY THAT THE FEASIBILITY STUDY IS SATISFACTORY, AND WILL BE
PROVIDED BY AUGUST 1. >> OKAY YOU READ MY MIND SORRY DIRECTOR THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO REQUEST IS THE REFUND THAT IS
COMPLETE. >> I THINK IT IS PART DUE TO TIMING OF THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.
>> THE WHOLE REASON WE ARE HERE IS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING SO ONE OPTION IS TO SCHEDULE A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING YOU KNOW, ON JULY 29, AND THIS WAS COMPLETELY YOU KNOW, OUR LEGAL COUNSEL SAID THIS WAS ALSO WAY THAT WE COULD DO IT, AND I BELIEVE THAT IS THE PREFERRED WAY, SO WE DO NOT HAVE
TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING. >> AND SO THE REQUEST IS TO HAVE THE E-MAIL PRIOR ABOUT THIS FEASIBILITY BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
>> BEFORE WE KNOW PRIOR TO THE DISTRICT NOTIFYING THE SELLER THAT WE ARE CLOSING YES. I WOULD LIKE THAT.
AT LEAST 48 HOURS BEFORE IT POSSIBLE?
>> ONE OF OUR LOYAL WATCHERS AND VIEWERS IS INFORMING IN THE LAST FIVE MINUTE WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY AUDIO.
JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW. SO GREAT EXPLANATIONS, WE JUST SAID. JUST WANTED AN FYI FOR YOU.
>> I ALSO JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS TOO. THIS IS BEEN A LONG PROCESS, EVERYONE ON ALL SIZES BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND IT'S REALLY THAT WITH ARE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THIS PROPERTY. IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR WHAT WE OWN ALREADY OWN ALREADY AND WHAT WE NOTABLY WANT TO DO IN THE FUTURE WITH THEIR PROPERTY. IT IS NEAT I AM EXCITED.
>> WITH THAT, IF THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2338 CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TO WAIVE BOARD APPROVAL CONTINGENCY BY AUGUST 1 AND APPROVAL OF THEIR PURCHASE OF THE RAY PROPERTY.
>> MOVED BY DIRECTOR CARLSON AND SECONDED BY LALIBERTE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NO ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION, ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY VOTING AYE. [VOTE]
>> ANYONE OPPOSE, HEARING ON MOTION CARRIES, EXCELLENT THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND AS DIRECTOR LALIBERTE SAID THANKS FOR ALL OF THE WORK I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING IN TORONTO WHERE THEY DO A LOT OF SCHOOL SIGHTINGS AND DIFFERENT THINGS AND A LOT OF IT IS ABOUT HOW YOU USE THE CURRENT LAND THAT YOU HAVE AND USE IT IN PARTNERSHIP SO IT IS GREAT TO SEE THAT THINKING OF HOW WE GO FORWARD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH A SETTING STUFF SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK. IN I THINK WE GO ONTO THE NEXT AND CORRECT? SO I NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS RESULTS THREE, LIFE SKILLS IN GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP.

>> SO THIS LAST TUESDAY JUNE 21, AND A MOST RECENT BOARD MEETING SUPERINTENDENT MATT BILLINGHAM PROVIDED A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN USED TO RETHINK RESULTS THREE, AND THE ULTIMATE RESULTS OF THAT WORK IN TERMS OF THE POLICY UPDATE, SUPERINTENDED INTERPRETATION I BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN THREE TIMES THEY HAVE MET SINCE JANUARY TO REVIEW RESULTS THREE. AND THE OUTCOME IS IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT FOR A SECOND READING THE FIRST READING WAS DONE LAST TUESDAY, TONIGHT IS THE SECOND READING FOR THE BOARD, AND AS PRESIDENT IT IS UNDERSTATED IS CURRENTLY CALLED LIFE SKILLS AND CITIZENSHIP IN ONE OF THE KEY CHANGES IS LIFE SKILLS AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP, AND THAT REALLY DOES ENCAPSULATE HOW WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO EXIT OUR SYSTEM, AS THEY ARE PREPARED FOR THE GLOBAL WORLD THAT THEY WILL BE ENTERING INTO WHETHER THEY ARE LIVING HERE IN REDMOND WASHINGTON AND INTERACTING WITH THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY HERE THEY ARE INTERACTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE GLOBE, WE WANT THEM TO BE PREPARED WITH THE SKILLS TO BE ABLE TO BE A WHOLE PERSON, BE WELL, AND BE ABLE TO COLLABORATE AND ENGAGE WITH INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND ACROSS THE GLOBE, SO IT IS PRESENTED TONIGHT FOR

GO AHEAD DIRECTOR LALIBERTE, LET ME JUST MENTION A STUDY SESSION WITH AN UPDATE ON ALL OF OUR EFFORTS AROUND SOCIAL LEARNING COME UP WITH THAT BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE REVIEW OF THE RESULTS TO MONITOR OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A SEPARATE STUDY
SESSION? >> I BET THE MODEL RIGHT NOW WILL BE A SEPARATE STUDY SESSION I AM NOT SURE THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO DO BOTH OF THOSE IN A SINGLE STUDY SESSION.

[F. Superintendent Report]
THE WEBSITE THAT YOU CAN CLICK TO ENABLE TO READ TO THEM IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. SO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDAIS THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT. >> YES, I JUST WANT TO BRIEFLY PROVIDE COMMENTS AROUND GRADING. I KNOW THE BOARD HAS RECEIVED QUITE A BIT OF COMMUNICATION AND WE HEARD SOME PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING GRADING AND PRESIDENT PLEASE NOTE INDICATED THAT THERE WOULD BE A WORKGROUP NEXT YEAR END THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY TRUE, BUT IS ALSO UNDER WHAT CONTACTS WILL THIS GROUP HE WORKING? I KNOW THERE IS A NUMBER OF TEACHERS AND A COUPLE OF OUR SCHOOLS I HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED GRADING FOR EQUITY, AND
[01:25:03]
THAT IS A BOOK THAT IS ON MY READING LIST FROM THE SUMMER, BECAUSE I WANT TO BE INFORMED ABOUT WHAT THAT WORK IS AND WHAT THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT AND READING ABOUT, WE ALSO ENGAGED WITH AN INDIVIDUAL NAMED TOM DUSKY.FOR THOSE OF US IN K-12 WHERE WE'VE KNOWN TOM FOR YEARS AND YEARS AROUND EDUCATIONAL BEST PRACTICES, ONE OF HIS FOCUSES RIGHT NOW IS AROUND GRADING. SO EVEN LATER THIS SUMMER OUR SECONDARY ADMINISTRATORS ARE HAVING A SESSION WITH TOM AROUND GRADING. HE REALLY DOES HIGHLIGHT BEST PRACTICES AND I WAS READING AN ARTICLE TODAY ABOUT HIM AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE CONCLUDES HIS ARTICLE WITH IS IT REALLY IS IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE ON CREATING THEN YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BEST PRACTICES THAT ACTUALLY ALLOWS STUDENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE CLASSROOM. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND BEST PRACTICES AND RESEARCH AROUND GRADING THEN YOU MAY IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES IN PROTOCOLS THAT AREN'T BEST PRACTICES, BUT MAY POTENTIALLY MAKE LOGICAL SENSE BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY HAVING NEGATIVE OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS. WHEN I THINK ABOUT GRADING FOR EQUITY, I LOOK BACK TO YOU KNOW WHAT DO WE SAY ABOUT EQUITY ON OUR WEBSITE? WHAT DO WE STATE IS OUR PURPOSE? SO I WILL READ IT, BECAUSE I THINK IT ALSO KIND OF HIGHLIGHTS AS WE THINK ABOUT GRADING HOW DO WE THEN PAIR OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY WITH OUR EFFORTS AROUND GRADING.
WE STATED PURPOSE OF EQUITY IS TO ENSURE ACADEMIC SUCCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS. BY CLOSING OPPORTUNITY GAPS FOR STUDENTS AND PROVIDING EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE WORKING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AND STAFF AND COMMUNITIES. FURTHERMORE WE STATE BY COMMITTING TO EQUITY, WE REMOVE PREDICTABILITY OF SUCCESS AND FAILURE THAT CORRELATES WITH GRACE AND OTHER SOCIAL CULTURAL FACTORS, WE WILL INTERRUPT IN EQUITABLE PRACTICES EXAMINE BIASES, AND CREATE INCLUSIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS, AND FINALLY WE WILL DISCOVER AND CULTIVATE THE UNIQUE GIFTS AND TALENTS INTERESTS THAT EVERY HUMAN POSSESSES. THAT JUST LEADS ME TOO BELIEVE THAT OUR COMMITMENT, IS ABOUT ENSURING THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE GRADED IN A MANNER THAT TRULY IDENTIFIES THEIR STRENGTHS, IT IDENTIFIES THEIR LEARNING OUTCOMES.
AND THINKS ABOUT HOW ARE THEY AS A LEARNER? SHOWING UP IN A CLASSROOM AND HOW DO THEY DEMONSTRATE ONGOING GROWTH? BECAUSE THAT REALLY IS OUR COMMUNITY TO EQUITY. IF WE APPLY THAT TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOMS AND SCHOOL CONTEXT, THEN STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF LEARNING.
ONE OF THE THINGS AS I CONSIDER PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR STUDENTS IN THIS TERM GRADING, I THINK OF THE TERM DO NO HARM.
AND AS WE CONSIDER CHANGES IN PRACTICE, IF THAT IS ALSO A LENS THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING IS THE DO NO HARM, THAT CAN ALSO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHETHER OR NOT THE PRACTICE IS CONSIDERING ARE BENEFICIAL OR NOT TO ALL OF THE STUDENTS SITTING IN THE CLASSROOM. AND SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK ON THE SITE TO PROVIDE CLARITY FOR THE SYSTEM I KNOW THE BOARD IS THINKING ABOUT SOME POTENTIAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS IN TERMS OF GRADING AND SO I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK I KNOW OUR FAMILIES WILL BE APPRECIATIVE OF HAVING SOME ADDITIONAL CONSISTENCY, IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING AS A DISTRICT AND SOME OF THE INFORMATION IS THAT THE SCHOOLS WILL HAVE. THAT IS JUST AN INITIAL THINKING AROUND THIS WORK. SOME READING AND PROFESSIONAL READING I WILL DO THE PSALMIST TO MAKE SURE I AM INFORMED ABOUT WHAT THIS BOOK AND SOME OF THE TENANTS AND I DON'T HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT THE BOOK YET BECAUSE I HAVE NOT READ IT.
EXCITED TO DO THAT WORK AND EXCITED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH
THIS NEXT YEAR. >> THANK YOU DIRECTOR STUART.
>> THAT WORKS SUPERINTENDENT WE HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE GRADING SYSTEMS ARE AT A LOCAL LEVEL THEY ARE AT THE TEACHER LEVEL.
TEACHERS DECIDE HOW THEY GRADE AND WHAT CRITERIA THEY WILL USE IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S PASSED PASSED DOWN FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT DOWN TO THE SCHOOLS.
IT'S WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.
SO MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IF THIS WAS A SIMPLE AS THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED DISTRICTWIDE BY THE DISTRICT, TO ANSWER ISSUES BE ON JUST A
STUDENT'S PERFORMANCE. >> YET, IT IS INTERESTING, OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT USED TO BE SOLELY A SITE -BASED SCHOOL
[01:30:04]
DISTRICT. MEANING REALLY ALL DECISIONS AROUND CURRICULUM AND STUDENT INSTRUCTION AND CARDS AND GRADING ALL WERE DECIDED REALLY AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL.AND SO THERE IS STILL SOME OF THOSE TENTACLES THAT ARE PRESENT HERE IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. OUR TEACHER CONTRACT POINTS TO PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY AROUND GRADING YOU KNOW PRESENTLY I TEACH A SYLLABUS REALLY IS THE DEFINITION AROUND GRADING, I NOTE MANY TEACHERS WILL WORK WITH THEIR TEAMMATES, AND WE AS A DISTRICT, WHILE WE HAVE POLICY, IT REALLY IS AT A BROAD LEVEL POLICY, I STARTED HEARING FROM THE ADMINISTRATORS AND QUESTIONS AROUND GRADING, WE HEARD AROUND COMMUNITY QUESTIONS AROUND GRADING AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ADDED THAT TO THE WORK PLAN NEXT YEAR. BECAUSE WE TRULY FEEL THAT INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS AND EXTERNAL FAMILIES ARE ASKING FOR
CLARITY. >> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU I
[G. Public and Community Affairs]
APPRECIATE THAT UPDATE AS TO WHERE IT IS AND YOUR THINKING IN REGARDS TO THAT. SO OUR NEXT ITEM IS PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS. MARK YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT? TO JUST A LITTLE BIT THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF PUBLIC EVENTS, WITH PARTICIPATING IN SOME PUBLIC AND ONE ON ONE DISCUSSION WITH LEGISLATORS AROUND THE LEGISLATIVE PLATFORMS MAKE SURE THEY DON'T FORGET OF WHERE OUR PRIORITIES ARE AND HOPEFULLY THERE ARE LEGISLATORS THAT ARE LOOKING AT WHAT THEY CAN DO IN THE TIME THEY ARE PREPARING LEGISLATION. AS OPPOSED TO THE LAST MINUTE IN DECEMBER, WHAT THEY COULD ACTUALLY PUT TOGETHER THAT COULD REFLECT OUR CONCERNS, SO WE ARE WORKING THAT OVER THE SUMMER.>> QUESTION, I KNOW THE ANSWER I WILL SAY IT ALOUD ANEW.
THE LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE THAT IS IN SEPTEMBER TYPICALLY IS THAT RIGHT? SO I HAVE THAT RIGHT?
>> IS SEPTEMBER 30 OCTOBER 1. >> LATE SEPTEMBER, SO I AM NOW GOING TO CONTENT THINK YOU ARE. FOR THE BOARD TO THE LEGISLATIVE REST BE PREPARED SHOULD HAVE SOMEONE'S WORK PLAN.
>> AUGUST SEPTEMBER AND THEN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER WILL DO THE
PLANNING AND ORGANIZATION. >> GREAT AND I ASSUME IS ARE IN
PLAY? >> WE ARE SETTING UP THAT WORK PLAN WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH MARK TO SET
THE SCHEDULES AND SO THAT FITS. >> BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU BOTH.
>> ANY OTHER UPDATES? OKAY NOT HEARING ANY OKAY, NEXT
[H. Closing Items]
ITEM IS AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE ARE AT WITH EQUITY WORK IN DIFFERENT PIECES I THINK YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT A COMMENT ABOUT GRADING POLICY AND WHERE THAT FITS IN THE EQUITY WORK AS WELL, AND OUR STUDY SESSION TONIGHT WE ACTUALLY JUST FINALIZED THROUGH THE 14 INDICATORS, ON ANTIRACISM ANTIDISCRIMINATION, EQUITY AND INCLUSION AND EDUCATION, THAT WILL BE COMING TO THE BOARD FOR FIRST READING AND AUGUST. AND THE IDEA WILL BE THAT WE WILL BE HAVING THE INITIAL FIRST MONITORING REPORT SOMETIMES AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER OCTOBER. SLIGHTLY IN THE EARLY FALL.SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD ON EQUITY DOES ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY, ANY BOARD MEMBER GOVERNMENTS?
DIRECTOR STUART. >> I THINK ALL OF THIS CAN'T IDENTIFY WITH THE FACT WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS WE HAVE ALL RECEIVED OUR NEW REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENTS.
AND A LOT OF FOLKS ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS ASSESSMENT WILL CHANGE YOU DON'T WAS PULLED IN BY THE LEVEES.
I JUST WANT TO HAVE A REMINDER FOR FOLKS WHEN WE HAVE A LEVY, WE ASK FOR A SET DOLLAR IT DOESN'T FLOAT WITH THE ASSESSMENT. IT DOESN'T GO DOWN WHEN THE ASSESSMENTS GO DOWN IT DOESN'T GO UP IN THE ASSESSMENTS GO UP, SO THE NEW ASSESSMENTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE AFFECTED IN ADDITIONAL DOLLARS THROUGH THE BUDGET LEVEES.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT, IT IS JUST A LITTLE REMINDER. TO BE QUITE FRANK NORMALLY WE DON'T REMIND FOLKS UNTIL IT GETS LEVY SEASON.
AND I THINK THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IS A GOOD TIME TO REMIND FOLKS ESPECIALLY AFTER THE JUST WITNESS A MAJOR INCREASE IN THE
ASSESSMENTS. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT, HEARING NONE, WITH THAT JUST SO YOU ARE AWARE THE NEXT BOARD MEETING WILL NOT BE UNTIL AUGUST 8, THE STUDY SESSION WILL BE A 5:00 P.M., THE BOARD MEETING WILL BE AT
[01:35:04]
7:00 P.M., AND THE NATIONAL AFTER THAT WILL BE AUGUST 22, IN THE MEANTIME BE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PERUSE THE BUDGET.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO SEND THOSE IN.
SO WITH THAT I WILL IN ENTERTAINING A MOTION TO ENJOIN THE JUNE 27, 2023 -- 2022 BOARD MEETING.
ALL THOSE IN FLAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
