Do we have any public comments?
No public comments, no public comments.
Okay, then we'll move on to item 9.1,
only teachers Association representative we're here in that I would
say that's my dad but that's not his last name. So I'll keep it short and
sweet as you know I said some stuff earlier today at our Institute Day but
you know we got a lot of teachers in classrooms you know prepping anything's
ready excited for a school year a lot of new hires who are also excited to be
starting somewhere new, and hopefully kick their year off
well.
And then I just want to say that I
appreciate the communication and working
through the beginning of the school year a couple of days,
because it's a different schedule
than we've had the last couple of days.
So I wouldn't say hiccups, but just things
that we had to work through.
And I think we communicated well on making sure
that we got the calendar and the minutes and everything
correct for those couple of days.
So the district had time to make sure
that we had the professional development that we needed,
but teachers also were able to have enough time
to be inside their classroom
and prepare for the students coming tomorrow.
So I just appreciate, you know, the back and forth
and just being kept in the loop.
And when we had kind of something we needed to work through,
we got back and forth and we figured it out for everybody
to make sure it was a smooth transition
for everybody on the sites.
So thank you very much.
Item 9.2, CSCA, high skipper.
Hi, good evening everybody.
I don't have any major updates tonight,
but I do want to acknowledge the successful
professional development day we had to welcome staff back
and to thank everyone involved in making it happen.
Our first CSCA Chapter 202 meeting will be on Thursday
and an email with details will be sent out
to our members tomorrow.
Okay.
Thank you, Chris.
And Point One, again.
Welcome back everyone to our first governing board meeting
25-26 school year. Today is Institute Day as you all know you were with us this
morning at Institute Day. It's been a busy day and exciting. We had a great
breakfast this morning. Shout out to our Child Nutrition Department again for the
most amazing breakfast that they served. Also want to acknowledge everything that
the various departments have done to get our schools ready for tomorrow when we
welcome students and families back. I actually think right now Welcome Back
Days is happening across the district so I think our students and families are
flooding our schools right now excited for the first day of school tomorrow. I
I want to recognize the countless individuals who made opening of schools
possible this year with the modernization projects that are
happening across the district and would be remiss if I did not again thank our
community for making that possible. 132 million dollar bond projects that are
happening over the next four years is pretty monumental and Park Mead is the
first school to have both phases done. We had a ribbon-cutting ceremony there
earlier today as you know and so that level of excitement is is pretty clear
I think to all of us. Schools look beautiful. Steve Miller who is sitting
right here in front of me. Steve Miller for his leadership. I think, I don't
think Steve has had a day off in probably close to maybe three weeks he's
worked seven days a week and so appreciated Steve thank you so much and
I I know Steve we recognize Steve today at the Institute Day and I forgot a few
paragraphs today and what I was gonna say but what I wanted to say also is
that when you thank Steve Steve will always come back with it's a team
approach and so he very much gives credit to all of the people that surround
him both within our district and then the partnerships that we have outside of
our district. So inside our district our maintenance team, our grounds team, our
technology team, all of the people that have come together to make these
classrooms open tomorrow is nothing short of amazing. Our partnership with
Greystone West again is pretty incredible. People have been on our
campuses seven days a week until at least 11 o'clock at night. I talked to
the job foreman up at Park me at Walnut Heights earlier today Kenny and he said
I will be here till midnight tonight and I will be here at 4 a.m. tomorrow
morning and work to ensure that school is ready to open up Walnut Heights tomorrow.
Shout out to the Walnut Heights teachers who had all of the internal
classrooms happening. It's challenging when you do the outside of the
school for different reasons than it is the inside of the school, but classrooms
are where our students come to sit, and so our Walnut Heights teachers, our Buena
Vista TK and K teachers have been there all weekend long getting their
classrooms ready, and they're beautiful. So lots of thank-yous. Again, we've done
lots of thank yous throughout the day.
We've hired 49 new employees across the district this year
who we think are really superstars
and excited for them to experience
the first day of school in the Walnut Creek School District
because we think we're pretty special.
Last thing on my list to talk about
is our incredible Education Foundation.
I had the pleasure this morning after the breakfast
of welcoming our specialists back
to their collaboration time.
And I was struck by how incredibly fortunate we
are in our district to not have made any cuts to librarians,
art specialists, science specialists.
Our music program is robust, if anything,
we grew by a strings teacher this year, who
will be teaching fourth and fifth grade strings,
as well as strings at the middle school level.
And so when you're sitting in the NPE teacher,
so when you're sitting in that space
and you see all of those groups of teachers,
and they too recognized how incredibly fortunate they are
to be in a district that values our programs
that are outside of the core content,
but as we reminded each other today,
the programs that our specialists
and our specialized teachers come and teach for us
in our schools sometimes are what our kids connect
to the most.
So their class, their music class means something to them
because it's that meaningful connection
to the learning process.
And so we are very fortunate to our education foundation
that raises over $1.5 million.
They have been at all of our Welcome Back days today
to share information about why they are so important.
And so I would be, it's really important for us
to recognize the great work that they do
on behalf of our district.
So we're really lucky here and we don't take it for granted
for one minute.
It's been a good day and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
Let's see, item 11.1, is it PAM?
Okay, so PD plan for new teachers.
Thank you.
If you guys are going to speak, please close your eyes.
There we go.
Thank you.
Happy Orange Monday.
All right.
I am here and excited to share our supporting growth for our students and staff.
And so we'll be going over a couple of components.
Our professional learning plan that we've revised and updated for this year.
Some of the partnership programs that we have.
coach program are two exciting days of welcoming our new teachers, which Marie
spoke to a little bit, as well as some upcoming learning opportunities that we
will be providing to our staff. So we have had the opportunity and Jan and I
always have to like limit ourselves down because this can easily become a
three-page document when we add all the opportunities of our professional
learning plan for our teachers and staff. But we were able to update this. This is
a document that we keep, and it aligns to our strategic plan.
So it highlights those areas of equity and belonging,
professional learning that aligns to that,
as well as the staff groups, the academic excellence
and global competencies, literacy, math, and GSS,
all of the components that you can see.
So we're excited to roll that out.
And we've already jumped into it, just being a few days in.
So we are excited this year to continue
two of our partnerships, which is the NEP National Equity
Project, as well as our CAPS network of learning
where our sites will continue.
We're also excited to have two new partnerships, one
of those being the Street Data Community of Practice.
Our Walnut Heights team is going to be joining that, as well
as Dan for Med Services, and to jump
into looking at creating change
using the strategies for the project of street data.
So we're excited to see what comes from that.
And we are also excited to be joining the LTEL NIC,
which is a long-term English learner focus.
So it's a network of improvement community of practice
in which we can really dive into the data and strategies
to support our long-term English learners
and what we can improve in those areas.
Of course, we have to always highlight
are amazing instructional coaches.
We have two new ones that are welcoming
after we've had two departs due to retirements
and other opportunities.
So we're excited to welcome Catherine Prokowski
at Tice Creek, as well as Wendy Beatty,
who's going to be serving as our new math coach district-wide.
And of course, we have Marcy continuing services
as a teacher and special assignment.
So we are very appreciative, as I know all of our staff is,
of the hard work that our instructional coaching
and teacher-on-special assignment
do to support strong instructional practices.
And they were the ones that were a huge part
of our new teacher orientation,
which we had for, now it's Monday already,
so I guess it was last week,
but all my days are merging together at this point.
But we did welcome 31 new certificated teachers
who attended TK through eighth grade,
as well as support staff.
We have resource, we have SDC teachers there,
and we have seven facilitators, including our coaches,
TSA, Ed services, part of our wellness team,
instructional coaches, so we had a big team supporting,
there was a lot of energy.
Like, if you ever want to go to a very happy place,
you go to New Teacher Orientation,
because they are just slightly on the edge of overwhelm,
but also really on excitement.
And so it's just great energy in the room.
We have them chanting.
They were doing number corner.
It was exciting and always a happy place.
So we captured that here.
And with that, whoop, did I get it?
There we go.
We were able to give them a comprehensive overview
of the programs and instructional strategies that
amazing in Walnut Creek and that was a lot of the feedback they got is like
wow there are so many resources that are available to us and we're so excited to
dive into it and you know this year we took a we were trying to be really
strategic on giving them like what do we need to really get them running for day
one and not overwhelm them in week one but also know that you know they are
supported and really deeper into supporting the instruction and so we did
comprehensive literacy. We did math, wellness, SEL and environments and they got a crash course
on the technology integration that's used here and we were able to support two new TK teachers
and one of our current TK teachers dedicated some time and just did like a small group session
with them which was wonderful and of course highlighting our SPED program as well.
And, as Marie shared, we had an amazing day today at Institute Day, so we already got some great
feedback in looking at all the areas that we included in that, so we were really focused on
and again strategic in what we were doing to serve our teachers and what they're needing now.
So here are some of the focus areas, behavior and inclusion support for our early learners.
Our reading screener was for our grades one and two, and then our three through five did writing
workshop. We jumped into a lot of data getting ready for our students at the 6-8
grade level. And then of course there was district office staff, special
education, and site work focusing on safety plans as well. So lots of learning
happening in just one day. And of course the learning and fun continues. So this
just captures, I don't even want to say all of it, but at least some of the key
points from August to September. We were able to support onboarding our whole
middle school team as well as several of our new PE teachers by training them in
our rigorous PE program and as well as we had a team attend a conference for
MTSS we just provided fourth grade time to jump into their new inquiry journeys
for social studies and history.
We've continued the actual equity project,
restored the practices.
We're getting ready for our first collaboration network
meeting in a couple of weeks, as well as writing
workshop and our ELTEL work.
So no slowing down for us here.
But we're so excited to jump onto the journey,
and I welcome any questions.
That was just obviously different.
That was just obviously different.
Two down, 47 to go.
Just kidding.
PAM of the 31 new teachers or any of them like brand new?
Not just to our district, but brand new teacher teachers.
Yes.
So we do have, I mean, that encompasses, yeah,
all new to WCSD and then of course there's a pocket of those
that are brand new to teaching, which is really exciting.
I would say less than five, though.
Yeah, I was gonna say small percentage.
Yeah, I think the full one.
Yeah, small percentage.
Luckily we are an enticing district,
so people who have years of experience still want to come here instead.
We really benefited from our surrounding neighboring districts who were going through layoffs.
We really hired a lot of teachers from our neighboring districts who got those early pink slips
and were looking for positions.
So we hired a bulk of our teachers very, very early in that.
We got them in the sweet spot.
Could you talk a little bit more about the Street Data
community of practice?
What is that one going to look like,
and what are we hoping that it's going to yield for us?
I can take that one.
I feel like that was you, Jen.
Yeah.
I went to the county office just at the very last meeting,
the curriculum meeting.
So hey, we have this opportunity.
And so Amy Roman and I wrote a little letter and application
that we were interested.
And so it will be her instructional leadership team
herself and me who will get to go.
And I think we're gonna get to meet the author
of Street Data and so that really gets me excited
because a couple years ago principals and I
we read that book and so we're like,
oh my gosh, this is so great.
But it's really great because you're not just,
why it's Street Data is like satellite data is our cast.
And so we're talking about Street Data is in the classroom,
formative assessments, how are teachers using that,
let's set a goal, maybe at Walnut Heights,
it could be our English learners,
and so what kinds of formative assessments
are we gonna put in place?
So we don't know a ton about it yet,
but we think it's gonna be a great opportunity.
So I'll just be sure to be updating you
as we go through the process.
October 10th is the first meeting.
Did you not have her hold to leader change
in the middle of that old description?
No, I mean that's great. I think for a long time we have imagined that the assessments
that are happening at the classroom level are often more telling than the cast. And
so how it is that we harness that and how it is that we, I don't want to say that we
want to align or test the CAS, but how it is that we really
track student learning and ensure that that classroom data
is really informing that cycle is something
that I've certainly been interested in for a long time.
And that sounds great and really helpful about that.
Also curious about tech integration.
So we've been through lots of systems and processes now,
and it feels like we probably have a fairly good suite
of stuff now, particularly post pandemic
when everyone was rushing to like,
how do we get everything online?
How do we put things in the cloud?
And now we're at this cusp with AI
that I don't necessarily wanna get into,
but probably we should talk about again.
How do we feel about our tech integration
and suite of both curriculum and our ability
to utilize all of what was the orientation,
particularly for new teachers like?
Yeah, and this, I mean, we could definitely
spend an entire day diving into that
in the lens of orientation.
It was a lot of the introduction of the tools
that we do have, that there's constantly new shiny tools that
are always out there, and you will
get blasted with in emails.
Luckily, we're fortunate to have, like you said,
narrowed down some really strong tools
that we are supporting that align to instructional needs.
So we did share those.
We didn't get to go into the depth of every single one
of those, of course.
And we do provide ongoing training opportunities
for teachers on that.
And so I think we were able to give a good overview a lot
of those, as well as what we are looking for is we want
the ideas from new teachers because there are a lot more
out there, but we want to ensure that they're
aligned to COPPA and for BOA requirements.
And we want to align that they are
in the best interest of our students
and not just a shiny new tool.
And so we have the vetting process.
We went over how they can do that, especially
for teachers who are new to us, right?
They might be coming from other districts
and they used a great tool.
And so we always want to promote that as long as it's done
in a safe way and not as long as it's
in the best interest for our students.
So a broad answer on that.
But yeah, so we brought about that.
And of course, we also talked on like Viewsonics and the tools
that they're going to need to operate in
on the first phase of school.
So we modeled a lot with using that and striking a balance
of when we're using Viewsonic, which you could put a book on,
but you could also sit down and just read with your class.
And that's also very impactful.
And so there's a session on that as well.
I have one other question.
Because you mentioned there were two new partnerships, right?
So we already talked about street data.
And then the other one was the LTL system.
And you mentioned that street data
was being piloted by the team at Walnut Heights.
And I was wondering if the LTL support system was being
piloted by one of the sites, or is it?
We have a district-wide team, Ed Services, we have reps from Special Ed, and we're also...
And then WCI as well, because our long-term English learners generally fall at the middle
school.
So that's our...
So the group that's...
And is that local, like, you said that again?
They are sponsoring it, and I forget where we're going to, not Santa Clara, but...
I think it's the Mateo County Office of Ed, but they partner...
and they're bringing WestEd in.
So it also sounds like a really good opportunity for us.
It's the whole year, June.
It's 12.1, the 45-day operating budget division.
And I'm asking the board to approve our 45-day revision
to the budget.
As you recall, because we developed a budget pretty early,
the main revision assumptions were not yet.
So we used the assumptions that were published
by the governor in January.
And now we waited.
And we also haven't settled with our labor partners
when we pass the budget.
So the 45-day revision would include brand new assumptions
based on the enacted budget segment already,
and would also include the impact of the settlements
to our budget.
Next page.
Next page.
This is a pretty short conversation
because we didn't do a complete review of all of our budgets
because everything is still very fluid at this point.
So if you go to the next page, you
would see that this is our revised month's higher projection.
Oh, there it is.
Sorry, it's too small.
The light green box at the bottom
is our reserve level that I presented to you
when we adopted the budget.
So you'll see that on the third year,
we were at 12% reserve level.
But we knew that when the raises come in,
that would be impacted as well.
The yellow box right above it is our revised reserve level
based on the assumptions and the impact of the settlement.
So you will see that we went from 12.19% in the third year
to 9.51% in the third year.
And the next page, this is a very short-term accounting
of what has changed.
Our COLA decreased from 2.43, slightly to 2.3.
And also our outlier COLA for year two and three
also decreased slightly and that's why our reserve levels for the afters also
dropped a little bit. When the governor proposed a budget in January we were
that TK add-on was about $900,000 for a long and free school district but we
were advised by school services and capital apprentices to not include that
in the NYP because that's getting negotiated and we did land at $645,000
in addition of ongoing dollars to support the smaller class sizes in TK, and of course this also includes the 3% increase to our salary, both to unrestricted and the restricted side of General Fund, because we have decisions on both sides, and we did talk about the one time student support and professional development discretionary block grant that was proposed by the governor, so that also landed.
landed. We have a solid estimate from school services of about one million
dollars for us. So that's already included in this multi-year projection but I
need to remind you that that is sitting in our restricted a set of general funds
so it does not have any positive impact yet to our reserves and we'll see that
when we start planning for those programs. Looking forward, when we
look in school we start closing the books in business services so we're
up in gears. So in just a few weeks I'll be bringing to you the unaudited
actuals and hoping to report to you any kind of budget does, if there's any that
may fall, everything else. Also, looking ahead at what could possibly, coming up
ahead, you know, as you know that the Trump administration held hostage the
title two and three dollars that we were entitled to for last year. We were not at
risk at that point because when when he held that back, when the administration
held that back, we already received 90% of our allocation for last year, so we
were only exposed for about twenty to thirty thousand dollars but then that
was released. What we were worried about is what's gonna happen this year for all
of our time with two and three dollars but that also was released. I would have
warning that there's gonna be some guardrails that's gonna be in place
sooner, but we don't all know what that means. What I'm really thinking of at this point is the Medicaid
requirement that now if you are a Medicaid you have to prove that you're either working or you go
into school or you're volunteering 80 hours a month and how would that really impact us. Over
half of our unduplicated people percentage comes through direct certification. That means that
And they don't need to fill out an application for the free and reduced loans.
They're automatically qualified because they're already qualified in one of our state programs
such as Medi-Cal and Food Stamp.
So when they are enrolled into these programs, they are automatically identified as a UPP
student for our district.
We don't know what the impact of Medicaid is going to be, but there's a lot of articles
being written that over 3 million people could lose their health insurance in the state of
in California.
So if that in fact happens, that could reduce our UPP percentage.
And that would affect our supplemental funding.
That would affect our ELOT funding.
That would affect our Title I funding, Title II and III.
It's not going to affect our child nutrition services
not yet until something happens.
But those are the things that we need
to be mindful of and careful as we go,
especially that we have this one-time dollars
and additional dollars that are coming in,
we need to think about how can we hedge against that risk
moving forward, okay?
So that is my report for the 45-day provision.
Thank you for your questions.
Thanks. When do you anticipate we're gonna know more
about these medics at September?
It's already the law,
and I don't think it's gonna be effective until 2027, I believe,
but we'll look more into that,
but at this point, it's really hard to tell.
It's evolving. It's evolving, yes.
I think those are some of the cuts that have been deferred
and talked in the terms.
So after the returns.
There was, however, an executive order last week
that gave some further guidance around how federal agencies
should behave going forward in terms of both their direct
awards and potentially their block grants.
So I think that is something that we have to pay attention
to.
I actually, the universal TK add-on,
you said that's ongoing?
It is.
And it would receive pull-out in the future.
Oh, it will get great.
And then how long do we have to spend the SSPD?
I believe we have three years,
but I will go and check on that.
When we bring you back future budget presentations,
we will most likely do what we've done in the past,
which is offer the board some options of whether or not,
what it would look like to potentially commit those dollars to some of those
programs as insurance basically not knowing because of it being so
unpredictable right now. So those are some of the conversations that we're having
internally right now and you would need to know what exactly are
those dollars and so we're thinking about some of those things right now and
we've done that as a district in the past the board has made those decisions
when we have gotten dollars during COVID or we've gotten dollars for wellness
programs and such, we brought you forward some presentations and opportunities to
say, oh no, we want this for this is important to us, we want to commit these
dollars so that those programs don't go away. Same thing is what we're thinking
with the unpredictability right now and the volatility of what it looks like for
budgets and for different, you know, scenarios that could happen and so that's kind of what
we're thinking that will bring forward to you and offer you some options of how we could
take some of those dollars and then ensure that we have that money going forward.
I do have one silver lining, not related to general fund, but Mr. J, I have a quick budget
update for you. When we developed the budget a couple of years ago, we projected our interest
earnings would be about $3.3 million.
But because of the higher interest rates,
as of today, our interest at B firm on National J
is about $5 million.
So that gives us some question for any unpredictabilities
when you start shovels in the ground.
You don't know what you find.
So that gives us a lot of question for that.
But that's one thing.
That's a good thing for us.
I can't think of the price of inflation, but take it.
Right.
But that is something that we can get out of here, exactly.
Exactly and so even watching that because exactly what you're talking about like what's gonna happen with some of the inflation and tariffs
Is it gonna impact our projects?
Sorry, you're gonna impact the cost of building materials
And what happens if whenever projects get delayed by do you saying at the postponement of the year?
What would escalation cost look like so those are what those funds are to become really helpful
About those contingencies and about the possibility. I'm just also cognizant that what we're seeing is above and beyond what we could have imagined
In regards to the concern with losing
UPP funds and counts couldn't we locally if that does happen?
Do a big push to get families to fill out. Yes forms. I mean, I know it's hard to get families to fill out forms with free meals
now, but
Those families probably still qualify will still qualify if they lose Medicaid, but if you got them to fill out a form
Then we could still have them count towards EPP
Absolutely, especially if they're enrolled in even that program and they're not pending in the piston role next year
I think there's a lot more motivation for our parents to fill out an application
This is not just for that. It's not just for the free and reduced length. That's for all the other programs
Yeah, they can get electricity, internet, right? I mean EPP doesn't apply to us
with the high school kids, I mean there's a lot of benefits to having that qualification that better.
And I do think the difference between now and previously is it's outreach.
But what it will take is outreach on our part to families because we know them, we know who they are.
Whereas before when we were trying to do that outreach, we were almost trying to do a blind.
And so we were just saying like, who are you and come forward, let us help you.
now these are our families and so we can be very strategic
and we can be very intentional in what our outreach looks like.
And so I do think that the work that we have done
with our listening sessions and the engagement
of our community will also help us
and so it'll look different this time.
Yeah, I think we'll need to have a community
to think about middle of this year
to start to just even see the idea for families
as we see this development.
We'll really push to make it part of the enrollment.
And Vince, aren't like special education services
like speech, OTR bills also compensated forachal?
The old plan, the old way it works?
Or some dollars could be reduced.
I mean, you have to apply for it to be reimbursed.
And a lot of district art sites is not worth it,
because there's not enough volume, right?
And there are federal dollars attached to special ed,
but that was not a risk at all.
So they didn't, the term admin didn't touch that.
Got it.
OK.
Thank you, as always, for steering.
Did you approve it, though?
Yes.
It is an action.
I'll motion approval of budget revisions
to the on the state school district 2025, 2026 budget.
3,230 of 2020.
I'll second.
We have a motion and a second for the approval
budget revisions to the Walnut Creek School District 2025-26 operating budget EQA exemption.
I'm asking the board to approve resolution 2526.01.
But what this is is that we are saying that Tice Creek is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act. There would actually, if we were not
and you would have to do a full-blown environmental study
on the project, which could delay the project
for some time.
And there are some things that, there are some exemptions,
like if you're not adding any structure,
if you're not disturbing the environment,
and even if you're expanding, you're expanding
if you're no more than 25% of its current capacity,
which none of those things, all those things
will make a success.
So you have the board taking action in this
with exempt case brief from the CEQA environmental study
and we would then file the notice of exemption
to the county court.
And we should hopefully keep things moving
as a whole process.
This is something standard that we've done
with all of our sites because they're all exempt.
So this is not the case brief.
Gotcha.
They're good, yeah.
Okay, got it.
And the fact that some of our sites
Having some portables is not relevant because it's not over that 25% cap expansion
I'll move approval of 25 26 oh one California Environmental Quality Act CEQA
categorical exemption for type 3
Okay, we have a motion and a second
So as as the plans for Indian Valley at times Creek are firm enough so now we have a base
that they propose an estimate for what it would cost based on to schedule budget and
Construction Management Services to go high-screeking Indian Valley so this these are the fees for free stone for Indian Valley is
738 thousand
113 dollars and 75 cents
But ice Creek is five hundred thirteen dollars and six hundred sixty six dollars and fifty six cents welcome from
And is this like we've been the past like these numbers shouldn't change
This will not change this one. Yeah
If it is we'll bring it back to the board
I move approval of the amended construction project management agreement with Greystone West Company in the amounts of
738,000
$113 and 75 cents for Indian Valley and
513,666 dollars and 56 cents for Tyce Creek, with funding to come for Measure J.
I second.
We have a motion and a second for the approval of the amended construction project
management agreement with Greystone West Company in amounts of
$3,813.75 for the Valley and $513,666.56.
Item 12.4, CSGA call for nomination.
I guess it's us.
And us.
Oh, OK.
Do you have to elect the verb?
October 2.
If you need other board meetings,
we just want to always put this on the agenda in advance.
If you want us to bring it back to a future agenda item
after you've had time to discuss or think about.
We can do that.
Because it's at large, right?
Yeah, well, they're at large, but they're
at large with a particular targeted community
that they're looking for representation across.
So if some in the category, if you
were appropriate to the category and or if any of us
thought that there was someone that we knew who we
would want to nominate for this.
I don't think that any of us are eligible for this one as individuals, but I don't.
And you can take no action.
Okay.
We'll move on to item 13, reports from governing board members.
Any, do you have anything to share?
Nope.
Just grateful to be part of today's activities and wishing everyone a fantastic day.
On August 1st, I participated in a collaborative conversation
with a school board member and staff representatives
from across the Aquilines Union attendance area
to discuss education funding at the local level.
I thought it was a really good conversation,
and I think the primary outcome is
that we would like to collaborate
to develop a robust shared narrative around education
funding that can serve all of our districts.
No, nothing to report.
Except just again, thank you for including us today.
It was wonderful to see and good luck tomorrow.
I'll get lots of sleep.
Thanks for an orange.
Yes.
Your report of an institute, which is always a pleasure.
OK, item 14, any future agenda items?
It's all out of us.
Yeah.
This is for back to school nights, and I'll send you out your school buddies that were from last year
We'll put them on the September agenda
But for right now we'll keep who you had at the end of last year
And then if you choose to change in September you can't but often that out to you so that you remember
Just this between now and next school night. We'll all go. Where are we supposed to be?
teen partner dates
Our next meeting is the 8th
Well you have a meeting next to them. Oh yes, general meeting.
18 September. Oh it is? I don't know where it went.
Yeah, I saw that also but I confirmed, it actually is.
Oh it is, okay. I know up to my mind it wasn't the 8th so that's how I was checking. Okay, thank you.
Okay, I don't think we have anything else to discuss.
We will adjourn tonight's meeting at 6.58 PM.
