Let's see.
Item 5.3, the board has nothing to report out from post session.
Moving on to 5.4, our approval of the agenda.
We have just one update to the agenda and that's an item on the consent calendar to reflect
a date change in the personnel consent calendar on the waiver for Amanda Minnick it sets through
630 of 25 and it's 630 of 26 and so we've made that change. I move approval of the agenda as
presented. Okay we have a motion and a second for approval of the agenda as presented. All those
in favor? Opposed? Item 6.12, our vote on the consent calendar item. Approval of the consent calendar.
As amended. We have a motion for approval of the consent calendar as amended. All those in favor?
Opposed? Motion carries. All right, now moving on to item 7, our public hearing. Open it first.
Okay I'm opening our public hearing. Do I read the resolution, I guess, or just the title?
You could say just the title, Sufficiency of Textbooks.
I'm opening our public hearing on the sufficiency of textbooks.
I am now closing our...
Moving on to item 9.1, Walnut Creek Teachers Association.
Mikal?
Oh did it, what did I skip?
8.1, 8.
Oh, general public public comment.
Oh I'm sorry, Mikal.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
General public comment item eight point
We have any general public comment, okay now we will move on to item 9.1
Good to see everybody again now
We're fully in the swing of things talking to some of my colleagues. Everybody's like, why are we so tired?
I'm like this school has actually started now all the beginning of the year stuffs out of the way all the excitement and we're in it
So we're gonna be here
So, one of the things I wanted to try and focus my time on here at these board meetings
is obviously we all have business that we're trying to attend to, but also taking some
time to highlight some things that are happening with our teachers at our schools.
And I figured the easiest way to do that would be to go alphabetical order.
So, starting with Buena Vista, they've said that they had a great turnout for their multicultural
night last Friday, which is obviously anytime we can have something that's celebrating
all the different types of students we have at our schools is great, and when there's
a good turnout that obviously means that the community has bought into that as well.
And then everybody on that campus is really enjoying their updated playground.
So I'm sure that the kids are super happy to be using that stuff, which in turn is probably
making the teachers very happy because those kids are out there doing what they should
be doing, recessing, getting use of the stuff that everybody's worked so hard to provide
there.
That's it for Gwen and Lissa from WCTA, thank you.
9.2, California School of Police Association,
Tafti Tota, Chris Kipper.
Good evening, everyone.
I wanna thank you for having us here tonight.
I don't have a whole lot to report, but I am happy to say
that we had a large turnout at our last union meeting
last Thursday, and it's very pleasing to see
so many people joining in.
We have a couple of committees that have been headed now,
and hopefully I'll be able to give some more next meeting.
All right.
Thank you, Chris.
10 report from Superintendent.
I have a couple of things to report this evening.
First of all, I just want to do just an update on Parent Square
and say that we were reviewing the dashboard today
with the usage of Parent Square and were shocked and surprised
at how quickly our community has taken to the platform
and how easy it is for all of our different stakeholders
to be able to talk to one another.
And so communication is very high.
Jim and I were looking at some of the usage reports,
and we were like, could this be?
Is this a week's data or months?
Because there were thousands of interactions between people.
So I think that's really positive.
We just last week also brought on our PTA communications
officers.
And so they're able to also integrate into the system
and be able to work with our office managers
to calendar our PTA events.
And so it really is one of those one-stop platforms
that service in our district.
So thanks to everybody.
There's lots of people who have made that happen.
And so thanks to the team for that implementation
being so great across the district.
Next week, our teachers are really busy right now.
Progress reports went out this last week.
And so next week is conference week.
And so we know that's a busy time for our teachers
and appreciate all the extra time that they put in.
There is a special schedule next week,
which we'll be sending out to all of our families
as well, because the next couple of weeks,
there's lots happening within our instructional calendar
in terms of schedule changes.
And so I'm excited for those goal-setting conferences
to take place next week.
It's hard to believe that we're at that place already.
And so shout out to all the people that
are making that happen.
And then finally, just want to remind everyone
that today, we started our readathon through WCEF,
and it goes through the 26th of September.
So there will be lots of readers and lots of minutes being read.
Our principals all have challenges
that they've put out to their communities
to reach a particular goal.
And so again, just a really positive shout out
to our community for their participation
in our education foundation and all
that they do to make it successful.
Our WCEF leaders came to our administrative council meeting
last Tuesday.
And we're just thrilled with the level of support
that we have already received this year.
So we're off to a great start.
And that's it.
OK, now we'll move into our item agenda, item 11.1.
Good evening.
So this is a two-part compliance piece
that we bring every year.
So the first part is requesting that you approve
the resolution for the determination and sufficiency
of textbooks and instructional materials.
Resolution of the governing board,
determination of sufficiency of textbooks and instruction.
Okay, we have a motion and a second
for approval of resolution 25.602
for determination of sufficiency of textbooks
and instructional materials.
All those in favor?
Opposed?
Second.
Motion carries.
Okay, item 11.2.
Okay, thank you.
So the second part is the work that Ed Services
and the principals do together to make sure
that every classroom has all of the instructional materials
and every student has what they need.
And many of our materials are digital now,
which are so nice so that they're available at home as well.
And so asking for your approval of the certification
of instructional materials for the 2526 school year.
I'll move approval of the certification
of instructional materials for the 2526 school year.
OK, we have a motion and a second for approval of these certification of instructional materials
for the 2025-2026 school year.
All those in favor?
Aye.
Aye.
Opposed?
Extension.
Motion carries.
Item 11.3, an audit of actual financial reports.
Good evening.
actual financial report. Good evening, and I'm asking the board to accept our
unaudited actuals as presented. The last time I presented the budgetee was the 45
day revision and so we're now at the September 15th timeline. We're in, as
we open schools, we close the books and we close the books and bring in the
results are on audited actuals based on our projections as of April 30. So at
April 30 we do our very best to project what our revenues are going to be, what
our expenses are going to be, so they can determine a good projection for our
ending balance for this year, which becomes our beginning balance for the fall.
I want to differentiate the two sides of General Fund. Recall that General Fund
has two sides unrestricted and restricted. So when we talk about our
famous words the budget does we're referring to the unrestricted set of
general fund which the board can recommend for reserves or any of the purposes.
So what we do it doing throughout the year but we finalize at the end of the
year is we take a look at all of our categoricals and restrict it to see what
how can we maximize spend the strictest dollars first. So we move
expenses from unrestricted to restricted when I roll out and we capture
indirect costs from some of our programs like child nutrition and that brings
revenues to the unrestricted side of general fund. I'm happy to report that our
unrestricted fund or budget test for this year is eight hundred and forty
seven thousand dollars and I'll tell you a little bit more about that but four
hundred thousand dollars comes from more revenue than we and we projected and
and $400,000 less expenses than we anticipated.
And I'll go over that in a little bit.
So what that does to our reserves for ending year 24-25,
when I presented the budget to you last,
we were at 9.17%.
That $847,000 gives us a little bit of a boost
of about 10.83% to start the year.
So these are all the changes between
both unrestricted and restricted.
There is one anomaly this year that I wanna call out
right away and it stirs on behalf.
If you recall, stirs on behalf is not an actual revenue
or expenses for the school district.
It is an expense incurred by the state
that the state asked us to book on their behalf
so it would look like there were expenses on their behalf.
So no money is ever received, no expense are ever spent,
but we book it on behalf of the state.
Typically a STRS on behalf is about $1.9 million.
That represents the contribution of the state
to our CalPERS and CalSTRS pension.
This year their rate went up.
So instead of 1.9, our STRS on behalf this year
was about 2.4.
So you're gonna see a $525,000 increase
in our revenues for STRS on behalf
with an offset of $535,000 increasing expenditures
on that side, so net zero.
So if you consider that our revenues increase by 3%
to $1.5 million, including that.
But if you take away the stirs on behalf,
where did that increase really come from?
ELOP, we actually received $200,000 more
than we were anticipating.
And we suspect, and we haven't seen the data,
that because now districts are given the option
to return the money instead of net money in that program.
So that gives us more money for all the other schools
that are actually implementing the program.
Our special education dollars also enough.
This is very typical because part of our spent dollars
come from property taxes and that's not finalized
until the end of April.
So we typically see an upswing.
So what that means is that we give less contributions
to the special education program,
which improves our unrestricted revenue.
And finally, interest, because we so hard to calculate
how much cash you have in the bank on a daily basis.
I always project what we already have,
and then whatever we get at the fourth quarter
is considered much less.
So this year, we've seen $144,000 more in interest
that came in higher than what we expected.
So all in all, if I remove the stairs on behalf,
we're within 1% of our projections for the revenue,
which is a good thing for that living with money.
Our expenditures are also the same story.
Sorry, wrong way.
We projected 54.2, and we landed at 54.3, about 0.35%.
And $500,000 of that is against Thursday on behalf.
The rest of that are savings.
So we were able to move $225,000 of our salaries that
supported Measure J, like myself, Steve,
or fiscal analysts.
We moved more of those because we spent a lot more time
we anticipated so we were able to move that from general fund into measure J. Also indirect
costs from our cafeteria fund, you know it's about $70,000 that came in plus other indirect
costs from our other categoricals and the rest the $35,000 are just routine PO balances and
adjustments. I'm happy to report that Child Nutrition Services ran an almost balanced program.
We don't want to see too much profit.
That means that we're probably overworking our people.
We're now serving quality food.
This time our ending profit is about $56,000 operating profit.
We expect that to blow up a little bit
next year, because we had a lingering chef's brigade
contract that was still on this year.
That's not going to be there anymore next year.
So we can see a little bit more next year.
But overall, 21,000 breakfast served,
359,000 lunches served.
Our ending balance as of today for child nutrition services is about 1.5 million dollars.
All of our other funds have a positive ending balance, which we'll be wanting to see because
we don't, if you're negative and you're building funds that means you've got to pay for that
in general fund.
The MAP report that we're, we're all clear.
The things that I'm looking at, at First Interim is our major budget adjustments, as it always
is at First Interim, we're thinking of our enrollment, where is it going to come in versus
our projection. We projected about 3,700 students, and when we looked at month one
we're pretty much on target, a little bit short, but we tend to gain a few more
students between now and October. When we estimated the cost of the 3% raise and
more renegotiating last school year, that was based on the actual employees that
we have in the field at that time, but you know, you have turnover in the beginning of the year, so we're
going to be recalculating what our 3% would actually cost.
We would see that at first in the room.
There are a few grants that we're
watching to see when we receive the official grant
notification for the state.
That includes the discretionary block grant fund.
We're supposed to get another round of kitchen infrastructure
and training funds.
We're looking to see what that would come in.
Our ELO grant for the first time,
before the way we were funded is all of the other school
districts that had a UPP rate of 70% or higher
got to guarantee the amount per student.
And then everybody else like us that are under that threshold,
we would split the leftovers.
So you never really know how much you're going to get.
But this year, the state actually
guaranteed rate two, which is us, a minimum of $1,500
per student.
So we're hoping we're trying to see where that would land.
But we think that we might be close to running
a balanced block program.
Given that we work with our partners
to get the discount rate.
So we're gonna study that and bring that to you
at the first interim.
And there's a few other little grants
and we just wanted to see what that would actually be, right?
Also coming up at our first interim,
I would be giving you a more comprehensive measure JFA.
You can see we have less boxes that are moving
between those processes because we've not finished,
me, we've done increment one of one of the eastern walleye heights. So you can see this
is where all the other programs are at and our partners at Greystone West is
working hard to put a bow on our projects for this year and hopefully
we're hoping that we will be coming under budget. So we will bring you a
budget update on our next report that includes all the interest which I gave
you guys a preview last time that we met that they succeeded more than you were
expecting really not much to report because on audited actuals is pretty
cut and dry is what it is right with that I would take your questions if you have
any. For the ELAP 1500 per student is annual or like per school year? Per school year. 1500 per unduplicated.
Right that population but first not for not a monthly it's an annual yes okay so it could
bring in about 1.2 million dollars for us versus $900,000 in the past so we
already seen $200,000 more come in this year right so we were very hopeful that
we would be balanced in that scenario.
So if you remember we were no it's great I mean congratulations on being 1%
versus your projection versus where you came in. It's difficult.
In regards to the unduplicated count, I think we talked about this last time, but are we
has there been any discussion about outreach around filling out email applications?
We're studying that next to see if the CEP might be a viable thing for us to do.
We're going to be studying that next and to see we're very much in tune to what's happening
federal level and how just things could be and we actually talked about this in
length with our CBO partners that are CBO meeting and we're getting APS from our
other CBO's of how they're planning to handle that. So it's a work in progress.
I just wanted to thank you for explaining the measure J support on the savings because I'm sure, excuse me, I've been tickled in my throat.
And then as the longest serving board member, I just wanted to comment on the first several
years of my tenure, we were always deficit spending on child nutrition services, and
it was just a, seemed like a nut that could not be cracked.
And so I just, every time, I think it's been the last couple of years where it's either
different season or there's been a little bit of a profit and I just continue to find that remarkable.
So, kudos to everybody because that, it means a lot. It means a lot of different moving pieces are all moving in the same positive direction.
And we're trending upward this year. We're beating last year's numbers so far, our breakfast and lunch participation, so we're hopeful to see that we'll be balanced.
It means that the kids like the food, that they want to eat it.
So that's wonderful.
Vince, is breakfast differently brunch, or they all group together?
Group together is breakfast when we come back.
OK.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
You need a motion?
This is in effect?
Yeah, this is.
This is, right?
11.3?
This is, we need a move approval of the Walnut Creek School District 2425,
we have a motion and a second for approval of the Walnut Creek School District 2024-25
unaudited actual financial reports. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Abstention? Motion
carries. Then to you here for the next one. Okay. Item 11.4 SQL, 7th College, is exemption
If you recall last meeting, I did, I brought the same motion for Type Street, and what
this really is, is that as long as we're not, as long as we're not putting in the structure,
we're not disturbing the surrounding environment, then we should be exempt from the California
environmental quality act.
have not been exempt, it will delay our projects
because there's a study done and other processes involved.
And the reason why we're able to get an exemption
based on our study, along with all of our other sites,
because we're not putting in new structures.
We're not blocking historical monuments or any kind of views.
So this is another compliance routine.
And once you approve our study,
that we are exempt, we'll be proud of this
with the county office, county clerk.
and then they'll be further records.
So we can proceed with the inbound project.
This is part of the timeline for the project?
A gentle question like that.
Do you have to do anything when you remove trees and...
It's a threshold.
It's different from CEQA.
It is, like here in Invalley,
there are 16 trees that are gonna be removed.
But that falls below the threshold.
Oh.
What would trigger an environmental quality accident?
So then when you're and then like modular buildings are prefabricated so they don't count as a new build.
Correct, or they won't obstruct anything that already exists as far as our environment.
So that's why we're able to get that also we're going to visit them.
There's a threshold of, you know, if you go this much on however many square acres you have, then it would trigger a study.
But we're always within below that threshold.
I'll move for approval California Environmental Quality Act CEQA
categorical exemption for the Indian Valley Elementary School modernization projects.
I'll second.
My wording is a little different, but I think we have to say more.
We have a motion for approval of the Indian Valley Elementary School Modernization Project
exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA.
All those in favor?
Opposed?
Motion carries. item 11.5 reclassification for classification.
so uh tonight we're going to talk a little bit about the classified employee reclassification process.
The presentation will end in a recommendation to accept the recommendation from the superintendent
that came from the reclassification committee but before we do that we would like to since this is
the first time that we brought forth these recommendations we did want to spend a few
minutes talking a little bit about what reclassification is as outlined in the
CSEA Master Agreement. So what is reclassification? Reclassification is an
upward placement of a position when an employee takes on new or expanded job
duties that require additional skills, greater responsibility, increased
decision-making, or exposure to hazards that make the job description not
accurately portray what is the work that they're doing. Some of the things that
would require or would encourage an employee to go through the
reclassification process is if they had a significant change in their job duties,
if we added job duties a little bit over time, if the original position was
under classified when it became part of the union, or if the job description no
longer reflects the work that they're doing. But what it's not is a change in
workload. It's not something where you've been in a position for a certain
period of time. So your O to reclassification based on seniority and it
also is not reflective of what an employee voluntarily takes on job duties.
So these are when job duties are added by the supervisor or when the work that
the employee is doing is being required of them to do. So let me tell you a
little bit about the eligibility for this process. I will tell you that the
recommendation for the reclassification that's brought forth tonight is from
spring of 2025 and that was also a topic that was brought up in negotiations and so the language
for this upcoming round of negotiations is just slightly different than the process by which we
went through the spring 2025 so I'll highlight some of those differences. But one of the things
that is new in this fall of 2025 is that CSEA is going to be putting on an information session
for employees that are interested in being reclassified and so that is now a new requirement
is to be eligible to go through reclassification they're going to meet
with their union and get a little bit more information about their
eligibility. But essentially the reclassification process is triggered
when an employee decides that they feel like they meet the criteria that I
mentioned before. So they're going to fill out a job description or an
application for this process. They're going to write job duties that they feel
like they've been asked to take on. They're going to talk about what are
some changes to their job and they're gonna provide evidence. That evidence can
come in the form of work tickets, it can be emails where they were asked to do
these jobs, but once they filled out that application and they attach their job
description, they're gonna send it on to their supervisor. The supervisor is gonna
agree or not agree with the information that's in the application and whether or
not the supervisor agrees or doesn't agree, the application still continues to
move along that process.
But essentially, what the supervisors report
in this application is, is they're asking themselves,
did the employee actually do these job duties
that they've listed on here that they do?
And were they assumed voluntarily,
or did I as the supervisor ask them
to take on those job responsibilities?
So they're going to fill out the supervisor statement,
and they're going to say one way or the other
if those new job duties were taken on by that employee.
And then that application for spring of 2025 would go to Human Resources, and then we would start the process.
Starting in this next round, they're going to submit that application to CSEA.
We have two deadlines. One of them is November 1st, for the fall, and then those applications will be reviewed by January 31st.
If that employee ends up being successfully reclassified, any changes to their salary are retroactive to the start of that school year.
So to July 1st of that school year.
The second round of them is March 1st,
and then those applications are going
to be reviewed by May 31st, but that if it is in the spring,
then those changes are not retroactive,
and they start in the next school year.
The reclassification panel for that we're
going to talk about before is a little bit different than how
it will be moving forward, but the representation
is the same.
So every committee will have two members chosen
by CSEA one member chosen by WCTA that represents a WCTA union member and then
two representatives from the district. Previously one of those represented had
to be someone from human resources which was always me so then that's this
committee but moving forward the district will be able to choose any two
members to sit on that panel and moving forward if they like they can consult
with human resources.
So when those applications then make it
to the reclassification panel, what
this panel of individuals will do
is they're going to sit down with the applications,
they're going to sit down with the job description,
and they're going to say, what do we have evidence
that these employees have been asked
to do these new job duties that are not
listed in their job description?
And if their supervisor agrees that they're
doing these new job descriptions and agrees
that they didn't voluntarily assume these job descriptions,
then they can make a couple recommendations.
They can approve the employee's request
to add that job duty to their job description.
They can suggest a change in title
if they feel like there's a title that is more fitting
to the work that they're doing.
They can also approve a salary change.
So they can say, if we're adding new job duties,
we think that it would be fair to increase them a range
increase them multiple ranges depending on what's fair. So then they fill out a
recommendation form and they come up with a they have all the notes that
they're going to submit to the superintendent, they have the job
description where they're going to add in red those job duties, have the new
salary if applicable, and then that new range and all of those forms will go to
the superintendent for review. So what the superintendent can do at that point
is they can modify some of the changes. An example of a time that the
superintendent might choose to modify it,
is if they are looking at the entire salary schedule,
and they believe that the range change
that was recommended by the reclassification committee
doesn't fit in with like job duty.
So an example of that would be if a secretary one
was making more than a secretary three.
So they kind of are tasked with looking at the salary
schedule as a whole.
So they can make a change to that range.
They can say, oh well I don't believe that the title
change that they said is a reflective of this new job duty or they can approve
it as recommended. And so then that recommendation from the superintendent
will then go to the board and then you guys will have a chance to approve the
recommendations. And so this particular round of reclassification applications
that are coming to will then, because we're doing this in the fall, that salary
change. If recommended, we'll start July 1st of 2025 for each of these three new employees.
And that's it. So now I'm going to hand it over to Marie, who's going to talk about this year's
re-classification applications. So this year, we received four applications. The committee
that represented all of the unit members in each of the bargaining units met to discuss the four
applications, and of the four applications,
they made recommendations on three of the applications
to either a job change title or increase in a salary range.
And so I reviewed each of the recommendations
that were made by the panel.
They were within, as Kelly had shared with you,
I would analyze it to make sure that it's
within a range of an existing same job description.
And they were, I think the committee did
a really fantastic job of thinking through exactly
what was included in that application process.
And so I have chose to accept the recommendations
of the panel and so as we look at the process,
the next step in that process is if I accept
recommendations then I bring it forward to the board for final review and ask
you to take action on the recommendations from me that came from
the panel and so this is really the last step in the process in article 16 and so
tonight I ask that you accept my recommendation to approve the
reclassification of three employees in the CSEA marketing unit and they're all
three attached. I have it in front of me, but what are the job titles? The new job
titles. It's systems analyst. Yeah, so it is secretary one going to it secretary
to educational services in ed services and then a data analyst one. A data analyst
one. And you'll see when you look at the attachment you'll see that the editions
that the panel made in red in the job description.
So those were the additions that the panel decided
based on the application that was submitted by the employee.
So there's a whole application process.
They take that application and then they convert it
into, through discussion, what they believe
to be a portion of what the person is doing now.
And remember, that's been signed off by their supervisor as well.
And so the new job description will include what's written in red.
Systems analyst, and it'll be a new range from range 34 to 36.
And then a secretary position from a secretary 1 to a secretary 2
with a job title change to Secretary
2 of Educational Services.
And that range will go from a 25 to a 26.
And those new job duties are outlined in red.
And then the third is a data analyst.
Staying as a data analyst, one, not moving to a data analyst,
two, but because of the increase in job duties,
which you'll see in red, they go from the 34 to the 36.
So those are the three that you would be approving.
So one is IT and two are Ed Services.
Is that right?
One is IT, two is, one is Ed Services.
And second, data analyst probably technically
is part of the Ed Services Department,
but actually she crosses over to many departments.
Okay, and that's part of what the,
okay, okay, but all central office.
All central office.
Thank you. Other questions that you have?
Okay, I'll move for approval of the recommended classified employee reclassification.
I'll second.
Okay, we have a motion and a second for the approval of the recommended classified employee reclassification.
All those in favor?
Aye.
Aye.
Opposed?
Opposed?
Ascension?
Motion carries.
Moving on to item 11.6, review of governing board assignments.
So this is our annual
Take a look at
school site liaisons as well as board hats that we
Have caught them for the ten years. I've been here and I know the years before me as well
You have some choices like you usually do. I
think that you have the
Attachment that looks like this and so you can simply
roll them forward a year if you'd like to stay oftentimes many of you say
this is my first year with the school I'd like to stay with the school for a
second year or you can mix them all up and you can do the same thing with the
hats or if you'd like to take on a new assignment that would be great as well
so I'll leave it to your discussion we all would love you anywhere we
appreciate the time that you give to all of our schools.
Shall we start with school sites please on discussion.
well also I mean what about Heidi I know I was thinking yeah and I don't want to
wait too long to the square I don't think she has a strong opinion okay I
had a conversation with her earlier yeah she was fine with anything that you okay
Okay, she and I would be discussing.
Okay.
I don't think I've ever been assigning all the heights.
Okay.
I think I've covered most other campuses.
I would welcome that.
I'm putting you there.
Okay.
This is the way it goes.
The minute somebody says something.
Okay.
I was thinking about it.
I'm preparing.
Like I don't think that's the one school
I've ever been assigned to.
I mean, I've had other years where I came
I feel like I would like to stay at Park Mead and Tice Creek because I just didn't
get out.
The school was very much last year.
Go.
But that's okay.
Unless somebody feels strongly.
I'm there all the time.
Is that Park Mead and Tice Creek?
Park Mead and Tice, yeah.
Anyone have a WCI, Merwood, Indian Valley, or Buena Vista?
One line?
Anything that?
Anyone have a WCI, Merwood, Indian Valley, or Buena Vista?
One like?
Anything that pops up?
I'd be happy to go back to Indian Valley.
OK, sure.
And then do you want me to do WCI?
Because you're going to want to hike?
Well, somebody has to.
Oh, you're going to?
I have to.
And Heidi's head, too.
So we always have one of us.
I kind of do, I can take WCI as well.
Well Amy, do you have one you want first?
Well I was gonna say I would take Planet Vista,
but then that leaves Heidi in the same place
because I don't know how she wants to do that.
No, I'll take one of the heights from her.
Well, because you and I would be swapping.
So we need a Merwood and we need a WCI.
And I did Merwood.
Okay.
One of those will take the least.
Okay, so when lady takes WCI,
then Heidi will stay at Merwood.
or do we give, did you want Wayne-Avis to go to St. Amy's?
Um, I can switch, I can switch to Merwood.
Sure.
Does that go home? Yeah.
Okay, so Amy's going to Merwood,
and Heidi's going to Buena Vista?
I think so, to give her a new experience.
Okay, got it, perfect. So I have Heidi at Buena Vista,
Indian Valley, Winlay, Merwood will be Amy,
Zenna will be park mead and Tice Creek.
Sarah will be Walnut Heights and when they will be WCI.
Perfect.
Okay.
CPC has about three meetings a year.
That's the Community Partnership Council.
That's the PTA presidents.
We usually meet, I actually say four times a year.
It's usually quarterly that we meet.
Curriculum and special ed is usually our equity committee
and some of that work that we do.
Timing of that is usually late afternoon between three and five.
CPC is usually a five to six o'clock meeting or six o'clock meeting, usually.
Facility and technology is measure J. We're through most of that, but that's also safety.
I'm not sure.
the safety committee is the same person that does facilities and technology, those two
kind of go together.
When does safety usually meet?
Safety usually meets from three to four in the afternoon, usually an afternoon meeting
because we usually have our partners with Fire Sheriff and PD, on the Creek PD at 10.
Now sometimes the Child Abuse Prevention Council will send a representative and so that time
kind of works for them because it's usually the school liaison for those
entities and so their shift is usually around still in session per se or if
that's still part of their shift. Finance is kind of a big one that one
usually goes to Sacramento to the budget the governor's budget and as well
the WCEF meetings. This year WCEF is doing something different and the
advisors are only coming, like we're only coming every other month, so it's half
the amount of meetings, but that's kind of a big one. And also benefits committee
that usually happens at the end of the year, so we'll get some benefits, we'll
get some budget committee stuff to have. So finance is probably a bigger, a bigger
and then personnel's negotiations that usually happens more towards the spring
of the year. Once in the fall for the instructional calendar and then a couple
of times and then mostly in the spring. Traditionally have we traded hats?
That's right, rather than staying right.
Yeah, can I take community?
I haven't been to the CPC meetings for a long time.
Sure.
Thank you.
I think they paused during the COVID-19.
Then they came back.
No, we had them all last year.
Oh, no, we're at the CPC.
But during the heart of COVID, they paused.
We did.
We did them on Zoom.
Oh, yeah, not in person, yeah.
So I could do safety in the facility, that's the one I had.
It looks like Heidi's going to get negotiations.
Heidi and then Sarah.
You said facilities and safety.
Safety, yeah, those two things, Sarah.
And school boards is all and all.
And then presidency, that doesn't change until December.
Right.
It's OK.
Great.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, it's just about the school board association.
So I guess my question is, did they accept that?
Yeah, we think we still have around it.
It's always a little awkward a couple of times ago,
and they're like, are you in the shop?
Oh, are you there to show?
I'm over here somewhere, yes, I am!
Do we need, what do they need?
Does anybody know?
That's like this chapter, right?
They tend to meet like a half an hour before the,
you know, whatever the presentation is.
I've lost track of those meetings.
I think she's raising her hand.
Yeah, I mean, I can do that, I'll just do it with her.
We'll put all of that.
We'll put you in grand history.
like, hey, this is going on, like if anybody else wants to go.
When you've attended this.
Because you can always designate a substitute or designee.
Designee, yeah.
So I'll put all and then I'll put in the grantees or designee.
Okay, okay.
And then LTCC, that's the, that's usually when savings, it's like the Zoom?
I don't know, have they changed their meeting times?
I don't know.
I think we get emails, but I don't know.
We haven't had anyone attend all or designee.
Okay, sure.
and I can talk to Nick to see and make sure that if there's something they'll
email us and so we can get a designee there.
Yeah, is it still Lisa McConnell running that committee?
No, it's Nick Weibert-Glenn.
Oh, it's the president, isn't this the legislation?
Oh, legislation.
She gets legislation, I don't know any legislation.
I think it's like a subset, right, that we've participated in, you know?
It's a subcommittee.
Yeah.
I can reach out to Nick and Lisa.
Okay.
I know.
It was Lisa, I don't know if she's still in the role.
But then the district safety committee, I think.
Oh, you're right.
Down here it is.
That is so.
Yeah.
Right.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
I'll type this and put it in the board update so you have it.
And we have to vote on it.
Sounds like it.
Sure.
Well, it's listed as 11.6.
Should we vote?
I'll make approval of the recommended governing board.
Second.
OK.
We have a motion for approval of the recommended governing board
assignments for the 2025-26 school year.
All those in favor?
Okay.
Opposed?
Extension?
Motion carries.
So I just looked at the LTCC website.
It is a different person.
I don't recognize this name.
Oh, okay.
But the dates are all listed on their website.
Okay.
Most of them are available on, so.
On item 12, reports from the government.
Oh, I attended two lovely back-to-school nights, one at Tice and one at Indian Valley.
It was a great evening, you know, work that is about to launch.
I appreciated those staff.
I know it can make people nervous when the school board member walks into the room.
So at Indian Valley, I tried to stay for no more than five minutes.
That's right.
At Tice, I was having some foot problems.
I was a little gimpy, and so I actually kind of parked myself a little bit more.
Yeah, I was with very experienced teachers so I trusted that they would not be at all rattles.
Oh and I also, sorry, I got a little distracted there, I also attended the Buena Vista site tour
thanks to Ray and to Steve and Lindland along with that tour too, so really fantastic
to see the way as Coach R, I understand that's how I should appropriately address you.
As you mentioned, the playground, the facility, it looked great and I could definitely see that the kids were really good.
It's the most ginormous playground.
The whole thing is huge.
Oh goodness, I forgot to say that yes, the Teacher of the Year Award.
Yeah, that was fantastic to be able to be there and I think I say this every year, but it's always very heartwarming, very inspiring.
I don't have any events to report.
Do we have any future agenda items?
Or does that need to go to close?
