Description
Fargo Public Schools - Board of Education Meeting - Live Broadcast - July 13, 2021
A
C
A
Opposed
same
sign,
motion
passes.
The
next
item
is
recognition
of
audience.
We
do
not
have
anyone
that
signed
up
to
speak
to
us
this
evening,
so
we'll
move
on
to
item
four,
and
this
is
the
reorganization
meeting
for
the
fargo
board
of
education.
At
this
point,
I
will
turn
the
agenda
over
to
dr
gandhi
for
a
continuation.
D
Thank
you
per
our
policy
in
our
practice,
the
the
superintendent
chairs,
the
annual
reorganization
piece,
or
at
least
for
the
board
president
position.
We
per
our
policy
had
a
canvassing
committee
to
look
for
board
leadership
positions,
so
I
will
hand
it
over
to
nikki
glaltson,
who
chaired
that
committee
for
a
report
before
we
go
into
the
election.
E
Thank
you
per
our
board
policy.
The
canvassing
committee
has
reached
out
to
each
member
of
the
board
to
learn
their
interest
and
the
following
member
is
willing
to
serve
in
the
position
of
president,
which
is
rebecca
knutson,
and
we
had
two
members
willing
to
serve,
as
vice
president
seth
holden
and
robin
nelson.
D
So
board
members
should
have
a
ballot
in
front
of
you
as
well
per
our
practice.
We
will
do
a
call
for
nominations
to
see
if
there's
any
other
board
members
interested
in
the
board.
President
position,
we
will
do
three
calls
for
nominations
from
the
floor,
so
this
will
be
number
one.
I
will
do
a
call
for
any
nominations
for
board.
President
from
the
floor.
D
B
D
A
Thanks
everyone,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
have
thoroughly
enjoyed
serving
as
president
this
past
year
and
yeah.
It's
been
a
challenging
year,
but
I've
I've
just
enjoyed
all
the
support
that
I've
received
from
board
members
and
administration
and
us
working
together
and
did
not
put
my
name
forward
without
saying
that
I
thoroughly
enjoy
the
work.
It's
very
rewarding
and
I
think
it's
a
position
that
everyone
ought
to
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
in,
because
there
is
the
opportunity
for
so
so
much
learning.
So
thank
you
for
your
confidence
in
me.
A
A
G
H
A
C
A
Opposed
same
sign,
motion
passes.
We
will
enter
executive
session.
Ask
for
everyone.
That's
remaining
here
at
the
table
board
members
and
administrators
may
stay
patty
cummings.
I
understand
that
you
will
be
here
for
the
executive
session
as
well.
There
will
be
a
few
individuals
on
the
phone.
Otherwise,
if
you
could
please
exit
the
room,
that
would
be
great
and
we'll
let
you
know
when
we're.
A
A
I
So
I
will
introduce
megan,
even
who
is
our
grant
writer
to
go
through
this
report
with
you?
She
just.
I
want
to
give
her
some
recommendations
because
she
started
with
us
in
the
middle
of
kovid
and
with
probably
little
guidance
from
me
on
top
of
it.
So
she's
been
a
real
go-getter
and
has
dived
in
and
just
done
an
excellent
job,
so
she
will
review
the
report
for
you.
J
J
J
J
So
we
have
here.
First,
these
are
the
entitlement
grants,
so
these
ones
are
determined
by
formula
and,
as
you
can
see,
most
of
them
come
from
department
of
public
instruction.
So
we
have
the
funder
on
the
very
left
there.
Then
you
can
see
the
different
programs
as
well
broken
down
and
we've
also
included
here.
J
J
You
can
again
see
that
we
do
have
quite
a
few
by
dpi
as
well
in
this
category,
but
quite
a
few
other
funders
also
fall
under
this
category
and
you'll
notice
too.
I've
made
just
a
few
notes
because
some
programs
were
either
delayed
or
by
a
year
or
extended
because
of
the
coronavirus
programming
not
being
able
to
happen
so
you'll
notice
that
that's
what
that
asterisk
is
in
this.
J
So
this
is
a
brief
summary
of
collaborative
grants,
so
right
now
for
this
most
recent
fiscal
year
that
wrapped
up,
we
just
had
one,
and
then
I
made
a
note
down
here
too.
We
have
another
one
that
is
pending
with
ndsu
right
now,
but
we
just
we're,
probably
not
going
to
hear
back
from
that
one
for
a
while
still.
J
J
So
you
can
see
we
got
multiple
different
types
of
funding
again
mostly
from
dpi,
but
also
from
the
north
dakota
council
on
the
arts.
You
can
see.
Some
of
them
were
were
awarded
on
the
entitlement
funds,
but
I've
placed
here
in
asterick
the
ones
that
were
awarded
on
a
competitive
basis
as
well,
so
that
you
can
still
break
it
out
into
those
categories,
and
I
also
have
this
is
a
new
category
as
well
that
I've
added,
which
is
rejected
grants.
J
J
H
Yeah,
thank
you,
megan
your
thorough
report
and
the
format
leaves
little
room
for
questions.
It
was
very
well
explained.
I
do
want
to
highlight
two
items
on
page
10.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
no
page,
nine,
the
end
north
dakota,
dpi
resiliency
grant
your
description
is
accurate,
but
I
would
go
a
little
bit
further.
This
was
the
grant
that,
through
the
state
of
north
dakota,
that
was
actually
a
consumer
confidence
grant,
and
so
those
dollars
I
assumed,
were
used
for
ventilation.
H
H
When
you
look
at
the
sorry,
my
life
is
grants
as
well
on
page
12,
how
you
utilize
grant
funds
a
lot
of
that
is
dictated
by
what
the
grant
is
written
for
right.
So
it's
not
up
to
the
district
to
decide
where
to
put
dollars
for
what.
So
I
appreciate
that
grant
as
well
and-
and
finally
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
you
of
your
work.
H
D
D
We
have
a
fiduciary
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
any
rewarded,
rewarded
dollars
that
we
get
as
a
district
they're
used
for
the
intended
purposes
and
they're
yielding
those
outcomes
as
well.
So
she
continues
to
take
on
a
lot
as
a
district,
and
hopefully
we
can
continue
to
support
her
with
that
as
well.
As
we
see
a
significant
amount
of
federal
aid
coming
in
the.
H
H
Can
I
have
one
closing
statement
go
ahead,
robin
writing
grants
writing.
The
initial
grant
is
probably
the
smallest
percentage
of
your
work.
It's
the
reporting
afterward.
That
really
is
is
what
is
appreciated
and
I
think,
maybe
a
lot
of
people
that
don't
know
how
grounds
work.
Don't
understand
that
the
tracking
is,
I
mean
I
joke
about.
We
track
how
many
toilet
paper
squares
we
use
in
my
non-profit.
H
D
And
sorry,
I
think
I
would
just
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
this.
I
think
most
board
members
know
when
members
of
the
planning
committee
know
as
well.
The
timing
of
this
report's
interesting
today,
because
we're
also
going
to
be
discussing
a
preliminary
budget
but
grant
revenue
is
not
something
that
we
can
sustain
over
time.
D
So
whenever
we
do
invest
in
grant
dollars,
sustainability
is
probably
one
of
the
first
things
that
we
take
a
look
at
just
because
we
don't
have
the
guarantee
of
continuity,
as
you
see,
with
even
some
of
the
past
funders
that
we've
had
in
the
past.
So
I
think
this
report
provides
a
lot
of
information.
I
would
just
cautious
board
members
to
look
at
this
as
a
supplement
to
our
budget
when
you're
looking
at
the
preliminary
budget
below,
because
it's
just
not
a
guarantee
that
we
have.
A
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
I
do
appreciate
also
the
summary
of
the
rejected
grants,
because
that
helps
put
a
a
full
picture
on
the
the
effort
I
that
that
you
have
taken
on
on
behalf
of
the
district
and
helps
answer
some
of
those
questions
about
what
you
know
did
we
apply
for
one
grant
or
another,
and
why
didn't
we
get
it?
So
I
would
encourage
that
to
continue
and
yeah.
A
K
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
I'd
just
like
to
draw
your
attention
to
again
memo9.
This
is
the
second
in
installment
of
the
mobility
report.
I
shared
this
with
you
after
our
first
semester,
and
this
then
is
the
remainder
of
the
data
or
an
aggregate
of
the
entire
school
year.
The
data
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
tonight
is
between
september
2nd
of
2020
to
june
3rd
of
2021,
and
it
shows
the
students
who
have
entered
our
district
and
who
have
left
our
district.
K
K
So
it
does
not
really
include
data
in
june
july
or
august
in
which
we
also
have
students
transfer
in
and
out,
but
this
was
over
the
course
of
the
school
year
for
your
information
from
there
on
pages,
three
four
and
five
we've
taken
that
data
and
shared
with
you
in
a
pie
chart
both
the
transfer
in
and
out
by
those
three
different
grade
bands
and
then
the
percentages
of
students
in
each
of
the
different
categories.
So,
for
example,
on
the
screen
right
now
would
be
the
transfers
in
at
the
elementary
level.
K
Just
going
around
that
pie
chart,
we
use
the
same
colors
in
all
of
the
graphics,
so
the
orange
would
be
private
school.
The
darkest
blue
there
would
be
north
dakota,
but
not
including
west
fargo,
our
closest
neighbor,
the
red
is
the
west
fargo
school
system
or
district
blue
or
I'm
sorry.
Green
is
minnesota
not
including
morehead
again,
our
closest
minnesota
neighbor.
K
K
K
I
think
just
looking
at
the
data
that
we
see
we
can
see.
We
are
a
very
mobile
district
with
many
students
transferring
in
and
many
transferring
out
over
the
course
the
school
year,
which
provides
some
challenges
for
our
staff,
but
they
are
well
up
to
those
challenges
and
they
do
a
great
job
of
welcoming
new
students
into
our
system
and
helping
families
transition
to
wherever
their
next
destination
is.
K
The
last
few
pages
of
the
report
is
somewhat
new.
We
began
sharing
this
data.
I
believe,
two
years
ago,
with
the
last
end
of
the
year
mobility
report,
which
was
just
to
provide
you
some
more
information,
both
in
the
transfer
in
and
out,
and
then
when
it
came
to
some
of
the
ethnicities
and
some
of
the
other
demographic
categories
that
we
look
at
in
the
system,
you
will
notice
that
one
of
them
is
redacted
because
anytime
we
have
a
a
subset.
K
That
is
too
small
in
which
individuals
might
be
recognizable
or
be
able
to
be
identified.
We
do
redact
that
information,
so
you
can
see
that
in
two
different
cases
on
this
set
of
data,
that
has
happened
but
again
you'll
get
the
percentages
of
in
and
out
by
grade
bands
and
by
those
demographic
areas
and
then
finally,
a
request
that
had
been
made
in
the
past
was,
if
we
look
at
the
individual
buildings,
both
the
transfer
in
and
out
over
the
course
of
the
school
year,
and
that
is
on
the
bottom
of
page
six.
A
K
L
K
K
F
F
M
J
A
A
D
Yeah
just
want
to
first
off
thank
all
of
the
board
members
for
allowing
administration
to
present
this
at
this
meeting
in
july.
I
know
normally
it's
done
in
june
as
well,
but
we've
had
a
little
bit
of
a
busy
year
with
a
virus
kind
of
throwing
a
wrench
in
our
originally
designed
operational
plan
or
the
work
that
we
normally
do.
D
Last
year
we
presented
to
you
an
operational
plan
that
had
consideration
with
covet
19,
and
we
try
to
include
a
lot
of
our
energy
and
focus
on
that
as
much
as
we
can,
but
I
think
at
that
point
in
time
that
we
would
never
would
have
known
how
much
we
would
have
had
to
deal
with
changing
guidance,
changing
just
parameters
and
new
information.
You
know
we
started
the
year,
knowing
what
we
knew
about
kovid.
D
At
that
time
we
followed
the
guidance
from
the
state
to
create
a
smart
restart
plan.
We
followed
the
research
at
that
time.
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
changes
that
we
probably
adapted
to
throughout
the
year
was
knowing
what
whether
the
virus
was
transmitting
in
schools
or
not.
That
was
something
that
we
were
studying
on
an
ongoing
basis
when
the
school
year
started.
D
Our
cleaning
was
a
significant
concern
because
there
was
far
more
at
that
time:
speculation
about
the
ability
of
the
virus
to
transfer
on
surfaces
and
keep
the
students
safe
or
not
that
changed
over
time
as
well.
So
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
is
our
completed
operational
plan
as
we
have
done
in
previous
years.
G
H
A
A
D
We
obviously
you'll
see
that
one
of
the
agenda
items
in
here
is
in
progress
as
the
relocation
of
the
district
office.
The
pandemic
has
delayed
our
ability
to
move.
We
do
hope
that
we're
able
to
move
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
It's
just
that.
You
know
there's
been
delays
in
construction
supply
chain
and
things
of
that
nature.
D
We
do
intend
to
present
to
the
planning
committee
or
just
begin
that
conversation
at
the
august
planning
committee
meeting
about
what
are
different
options
that
we
can
do
to
take
a
look
at
that.
Knowing
that
you
know
fargo's
a
good
size
market,
but
it's
not
every
single
day
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
find
a
facility
that
can
just
readily
house
a
school
that
serves
120
students
in
an
adult
education
program.
D
A
M
A
D
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
of
your
time
just
a
couple
things
you
did
mention,
president
knutson,
the
explorer
academy.
The
explorer
academy
is
also
a
victim
of
just
construction
and
supply
chain
and
everything
else.
The
delays
that
we're
seeing
across
the
market
so
we're
monitoring
the
progress
of
the
explorer
academy.
It
is
very,
very
close
to
completion,
but
there's,
obviously
lots
of
work
that
needs
to
happen
as
well.
D
We're
really
excited
about
the
set
of
services
that
we're
going
to
provide
that's
been
a
gap
in
our
community,
not
only
for
our
school
district
for
other
districts
as
well,
and
it's
really
going
to
be
a
true
environment
for
a
lot
of
our
students
to
succeed
that
otherwise
didn't
have
that
opportunity
through
a
public
school
district
in
north
dakota.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that.
D
Look
for
some
communication
from
anne
marie.
As
we
finalize
a
couple
of
meetings
that
will
involve
the
board.
One
will
be
the
board
work
session
date,
that's
close
to
being
finalized
as
well,
and
that
will
be
communicated
out
along
with
a
joint
meeting
with
the
commissions
of
the
city
of
fargo
and
the
park
district
as
well.
And
we
are
close
to
finalizing
that
as
well.
So
that
is
it
for
our
summer.
D
Work
just
again
want
to
thank
the
entire
team
and
we
are
a
reflection
of
our
staff
and
our
staff
done
a
great
job
and
we're
looking
forward
to
somewhat
of
a
new
normal
and
returning
next
year
and
capitalizing
on
the
what
we
learned
from
kovid
and
then
bringing
our
students
back
summer.
School
is
about
46
days
in
elementary
transition
started
yesterday,
and
everything
is
going
really
well.
A
A
B
B
B
First
page
of
the
general
fund.
Numbers
really
are
all
about
our
revenue
and
the
bottom
line
is
we're
expecting
a
1.18
increase
in
total
revenue,
which
is
about
as
low
as
it's
been
in
my
term
on
the
board.
That's
a
reflection
primarily
of
the
state
foundation
aid
and
our
current
adm
number
that
will
be
paid
on
we're.
Estimating
that
property
tax
revenues
locally
will
go
up
about
five
percent.
B
We
anticipate
our
rental
income
will
return
to
pre-co
vid
levels.
Things
are
happening
out
at
bluestem
and
the
rest
of
our
facilities
are
going
to
be
available
for
rent
as
well
going
forward.
Hopefully,
this
next
school
year
we're
anticipating
three
houses
to
be
sold
by
our
construction
vocational
ed
program,
which
is
one
more
than
typical,
and
we
expect
our
medicaid
reimbursements
to
return
to
normal
as
opposed
to
what
we
dealt
with
in
the
covet
on
the
state
foundation
aid.
B
There
will
be
some
on-time
funding
that
kicks
in
this
year
again,
but
that's
only
at
a
60
level,
so
that
doesn't
make
us
quite
whole
on
our
new
students
either
and
we
think
we'll
get
a
little
increase
in
transportation
aid
because
we'll
be
back
to
running
normal
routes
so
on
the
overall
revenue
side.
Luckily
we're
not
going
in
the
hole,
but
we're
certainly
not
feeling
like
we're
just
making
money
hand
over
fist
on
the
expenditure
side,
and
you
know
a
couple
of
things.
B
B
B
That
person
might
not
be
the
same
human,
but
that
position
is
currently
being
paid
under
a
teacher
contract.
Under
our
interim
program,
which
we
have
been
transitioning,
those
teacher
contract
interns
over
to
administrative
positions,
which
is
truly
what
their
role
is.
So
it's
really
not
a
new
hire.
It's
a
reclassification
from
the
teacher
salary
line
over
the
administrator
salary
line,
but
it
increases
the
percentage
for
the
administrators.
B
But
again,
that's
really
not
a
full
new
hire.
It's
a
reclassification
of
a
current
employee
to
a
different
level
of
responsibility
and
paid
we're
also
going
to
eliminate
one
library
coordinator.
So
that's
the
total
new
administrative
hiring
package
administrators
across
the
district.
Unless
something
else
changes
when
we
finalize
everything
with
teachers
are,
on
average,
going
to
see
a
1.33
pay
increase.
So
it's
not
like
our
principals.
Our
cabinet
members
here
are
looking
at
an
eight
percent
salary
increase.
I
wish
you
were
but
you're
not
on
an
employee
benefits,
side
or
well.
B
In
addition,
of
course,
we
have
to
fully
staff
the
explorer
academy.
We
anticipate
one
school
psychologist,
two
elementary
teachers,
two
middle
school
teachers
and
a
half
time
specialist
from
an
instructional
support
perspective.
We're
required
by
state
law
to
add
six
new
counselors
by
the
end
of
2023
were
in
this
budget.
B
B
B
Our
total
expenditures
are
actually
being
projected
to
go
up
by
about
2.4
percent,
so
we
are
estimating
a
deficit
budget
for
the
coming
year.
That's
in
part,
because
we,
as
a
board,
gave
the
authority
to
the
negotiating
committee
to
actually
propose
more
in
salary
than
we
knew.
We'd
have
budget
to
do
so
that
created
some
of
this
deficit,
obviously
bringing
in
all
of
the
explorer
academy.
B
There's
a
new
program
that
came
out
that
allowed
us
to
upgrade
the
radio
systems
in
the
district,
the
two-way
communication
radios
and
in
this
budget
we
have
allocated
750
000
to
buy
the
new
radios
once
we
purchase
them,
we
are
going
to
submit
them
for
reimbursement
to
the
program
and
we're
going
to
get
back
637
000
of
that.
So
we
will
have
a
cost
of
about
100
a
little
less
than
120
000
to
fully
upgrade
our
two-way
communication
radio
systems,
but
that
reimbursement
happens
after
the
fact
and
is
not
represented
in
the
revenue.
B
So
really
our
deficit.
Ultimately,
when
that
comes
back
in,
would
be
637
thousand
dollars
less
than
is
projected
here.
All
of
that
being
said,
we
still
end
up
with
a
fund
balance
of
over
30
million
dollars
at
the
end
of
next
year,
which
represents
18.6
and,
of
course,
kind
of
the
guideline
that
we
have
given.
Our
administration
is
to
make
sure
we
maintain
at
least
15
so
they're
in
compliance
with
that.
B
F
F
Thank
you,
okay,
so
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
comments.
Maybe
just
concerns
that
I
hope
we
can
have
some
dialogue
about,
but
you
mentioned
under
the
increase
in
salary,
you
highlighted
the
positions
as
well
as
the
document
highlights
some
of
these
for
us,
and
I
know
that
the
attorney
conversation
was.
F
I
believe
it
happened
at
a
governance
meeting,
and
so
I'm
not
certain
that
we've
had
a
chance
to
talk
about
it
here,
but
I
I
do
remember
hearing
some
talk
some
time
ago
around
a
partnership
opportunity
or
sharing
this
position,
perhaps
with
west
fargo
and
did
anything
come
of
that.
Could
we
still
look
at
it
because
it
was
also
said
that
even
if
we
have
an
in-house
attorney,
we
will
be
needing.
F
Maybe
bob
could
answer
that
for
us
in
terms
of
enrollment,
are
there
concerns
and-
and
is
there
a
plan
to
address
that
and
and
what
does
that
look
like
because
we're
talking
about
1.2
million
dollars
just
for
this
year,
this
budget
and
then?
Thirdly,
if
I
may
around
health
insurance,
your
point
around
health
insurance,
so
I
know
that
the
board
approved
six
percent,
but,
along
with
that,
when
you
look
at
within
the
fund,
there
are
two
plants:
currently
one
is
still
operating
at
a
significant
deficit.
The
other
is
carrying
it.
F
So
I
see
it
as
that
part
you
know,
are
we
perhaps
we
should
have
a
more
in-depth
conversation
about
that,
because
the
district
has
carried
that
deficit
continuously
for
many
years
now,
and
that
one
plan
is
a
deficit.
The
other
isn't.
Is
there
something
structurally?
We
could
look
at
differently
so
that
it
doesn't
continue
in
that
direction
and
yet,
with
you
know,
little
disruption.
D
So
I'll
start
with
number
one.
Yes,
we
did
talk
about
partnership
opportunities
for
an
in-house
council
position
that
this
conversation
has
been
happening
for.
I
think,
as
you
know,
a
couple
of
years
now,
specifically
with
west
fargo.
At
that
point,
and
even
now
there
wasn't
an
interest.
Both
districts
do
have
their
own
law
firms
that
they
work
with
lawyers
that
they
work
with.
Also,
at
the
same
point,
the
scope
of
work
for
both
districts
was
enough
to
warrant
an
in-house
council
position.
D
You
are
correct
that
just
having
an
in-house
counsel
position
does
not
completely
eliminate
the
need
for
any
outside
counsel,
but
one
of
the
things
that
you
will
see
in
the
budget
is
that
there's
two
two
reasons
that
we
are
proposing
an
in-house
council
position.
One
is
that
there's
a
gap
in
services
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we
actually
don't
even
send
out
to
outside
council
because
of
the
cost
of
an
outside
council,
and
we
create.
D
We
think
that
work
falls
on
our
administrators
and-
and
I
do
think
that
it
creates
liabilities
specifically
when
we
don't
have
any
process
right
now
in
our
district,
outside
of
our
business
services
office,
to
go
through
every
contract
from
a
legal
lens
oftentimes,
our
contracts
are
established
or
going
against
an
individual
or
an
entity
that
does
have
legal
counsel,
preparing
their
council,
their
contracts
as
well.
So
that's
just
one
example.
So,
yes,
although
we
will
still
use
outside
counsel
to
some
level,
we
think
that
need
will
be
decreased
with
in-house
counsel.
D
We
also
think
in-house
counsel
will
be
able
to
provide
a
set
of
services
that
we
currently
don't
have
someone
doing
within
our
district.
You
will
also
see
that
in
our
legal
fees
budget,
because
of
the
potential
for
in-house
counsel
that
has
been
reduced,
it
has
not
been
eliminated,
but
it
has
been
significantly
reduced
as
well
to
help
offset
that
cost.
So
that
is
kind
of
response
to
the
partnership
piece,
but
we
have
explored
that
with
other
districts
as
well.
The
adm
enrollment
question
we
have
talked
extensively
about
this
past
year.
D
We
had
maybe
about
a
200
student
reduction
in
our
kindergarten
enrollment,
which
we
are
attributing
primarily
to
kovid.
You
will
see
that
the
demographic
analysis
that
was
presented
to
the
board
of
education
by
rsp
the
democrats
that
we
work
with
shared
that
they
think
that's
a
product
of
covet
as
well.
We
are
projected
to
continue
showing
that
growth
and
enrollment,
as
we've
said
over
the
last
several
years,
with
the
permanent
flood
protection.
D
We
think
that
that
growth
will
even
expand
once
that's
available
as
well,
but
even
without
the
permanent
flood
protection
being
completely
in
place
for
all
areas
of
our
community,
we
are
still
expected
to
grow
as
a
district,
so
we
are
expecting
to
bounce
back
in
enrollment
this
next
year
and
then
still
continue
on
that
upward
trend
over
the
next
five
years.
I
think
that
will
get
accelerated
based
on
what
our
democrats
are
saying,
potentially,
because
now
we
have
an
insight
with
the
diversion
program.
As
for
the
health
insurance,
I
know
that's
a
question.
D
B
You
know,
first
of
all,
the
good
news
is
the.
I
don't
even
like
to
call
it
a
low
deductible
plan,
because
it's
not
really
a
low
deductible
anymore.
It
actually
isn't
bleeding
as
much
as
it
had
in
the
past.
So
maybe
that
was
because
people
went
in
less
because
of
covid.
We
don't
know,
but
this
is
one
of
the
major
topics
for
the
health
insurance
committee.
This
coming
year
is
to
really
analyze.
B
B
F
So
just
premium
and
hsa
deduction,
you
have
to
add
claims
to
the
plans
as
well.
So
overall
cost
really
is
in
the
end,
still
higher
for
the
ppo
but,
like
you
said,
maybe
there's
another
high
deductible
or
a
different
kind
of
plan
that
could
still
allow
the
district
to
offer
two
options.
It's
just
that
one
is
bleeding
still.
H
B
H
B
C
G
C
G
C
B
Let's
move
over
to
the
next
major
fund,
which
is
our
building
fund,
it's
our
brick,
brick
and
mortar
dollars,
and
we
are
anticipating
on
the
building
fund
an
increase
locally
of
the
property
tax
revenue
of
five
percent.
We
get
no
state
funding
for
the
building
fund.
It's
all
local
mills
are
going
to
remain
the
same.
At
15.
B
There
will
be
a
transfer
we
actually
have
for
lack
of
knowing
how
to
really
say
it.
We
actually
have
two
building
funds,
one
that
was
authorized
under
state
law,
one
that
was
authorized
by
local
voters
and
we'll
come
to
that
other
fund
in
a
moment,
but
it
collects
money
and
then
transfers
everything
over
the
building
fund,
100
and
that'll
be
6.5
million.
That
we
think
will
come
in
from
the
special
levy
fund.
B
Major
projects
coming
out
of
the
building
fund
this
coming
year
are
the
north
high
track
estimated
at
about
2.5
million.
We
anticipate
there'll,
be
an
additional
budget
item
there
for
addressing
the
parking
lots
up
at
north
high,
which
are
in
bad
need
of
repair.
At
this
point
in
time
we
are
looking
at
potentially
putting
an
early
childhood
special
ed
edition.
At
hawthorne
that
has
not
been
finalized
yet,
but
we're
putting
a
placeholder
for
some
of
the
funding
into
the
budget
process
going
forward.
B
We've
got
about
2.6
million
left
that'll
get
spent
for
the
finalization
of
the
explorer
academy.
We've
got
about
200
000
left
for
the
agassi
plumbing
project
and
about
800
000
for
the
refit
and
remodeling
over
at
the
rdo
building,
soon
to
be
the
district
office
so
on
the
building
fund.
If
you
look
at
it
in
total,
we
are
looking
at.
Currently
we
have
a
fund
balance
of
3.8
million
at
the
end
of
last
year,
based
upon
what
we
are
planning
to
budget
out,
we're
going
to
pull
that
balance
down
to
273.
B
That's
not
something
that
from
a
planning
committee
perspective-
and
I
think
I'm
speaking
for
jackie
too,
is
a
concern
at
all,
because
we
will
replenish
those
buckets
annually
with
both
the
specialist
special
levy
fund
and
the
building
fund
and
knowing
what
our
debt
load
is
and
where
it's
going.
We
will
have
the
capacity
to
bond
for
future
buildings
that
are
being
anticipated
over
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
H
I
Sort
of
probably
my
mistake,
I
used
the
same
report
structure
when
I
pulled
these
reports.
That
is
not
what
is
coming
out
of
the
building
fund,
so
I
need
to
change
that
title.
What
is
coming
out
of
there
would
be
engineering
fees
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
not
no
sros,
are
coming
out
of
here.
I
will
make
a
note.
F
B
B
Preliminary
drawings
show
that
we
clearly
have
the
ability
to
put
an
addition
onto
hawthorne
to
serve
that
population.
That
really
is
the
center
of
the
city.
I
think-
and
it's
real
rough
at
this
point
in
time.
I
think
I
want
to
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
on
this.
I
think
it
was
about
8
million
total
for
the
project,
but
we
really
haven't
got
it
finalized,
yet
we're
just
saying,
potentially
we
might
break
ground
on
that
still
this
this
school
year.
B
B
D
So
for
us
we
can't
we
have
to
have
some
sort
of
placeholders
or
build
some
things
in,
because
the
ability
or
the
cost
of
one
project
may
impact
your
bonding
capacity
for
another
or
whether
you're
going
to
use
a
certain
fund
or
not.
So
that
doesn't
mean
that
everything
that's
built
into
the
plan
will
come
at
that
same
rate
for
the
board
approval.
It's
just
that
we
have
to
start
somewhere.
So
then
we
can
start
thinking
of
longer
term
sustainability
too.
Thank
you.
N
G
C
C
B
That'll
bring
us
to
our
special
assessment
fund.
This
is
a
fund
that
is
strictly
levied
to
pay
the
special
assessments
that
are
given
to
our
properties
by
the
city,
and
we
typically
try
to
only
collect
as
much
as
we
anticipate
spending
out
this
particular
year.
We're
anticipating
a
five
percent
increase
again
in
property
tax,
so
the
revenue
line
will
go
up
by
that
amount.
Our
mills
will
remain
1.25,
we're
not
recommending
a
reduction
or
an
increase.
B
A
G
N
G
C
B
B
It
is
currently
11.35
mills
again
we're
estimating
local
property
tax
will
go
up
five
percent,
so
this
will
increase
by
about
five
percent
as
well,
and
this
gets
fully
transferred
over
annually
to
the
building
fund,
which
is
really
where
the
expenditures
are
going
to
be
made
with
that.
I'd
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
the
preliminary
special
levy
fund
budget
for
2022.
C
N
B
Our
next
fund
is
our
debt
service
fund.
This
is
really
where
we
pay
back
the
bonds
that
we
have
used
to
construct
property
in
the
district,
and
we
are
anticipating.
Fund
transfers
going
in
this
does
not
have
its
own
tax.
This
is
funded
through
our
other
programs,
primarily
the
building
fund
and
the
special
levy
fund,
we're
anticipating,
interfund
transfers
of
8.695,
and
that
will
pay
off
the
principal
and
interest
a
principle
of
six
million.
B
Seventy
nine
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
six
interest
payments
of
two
million
six
hundred
and
sixteen
thousand
and
seven
fourteen,
and
it
just
about,
completes
two
of
our
bonds.
We
will,
I
believe,
our
2015
limited
tax
refunding
bond
for
9.8
million
and
our
2015
b
limited
tax
refunding
bond
for
9.7
million
will
be
pretty
much
closed
out
at
the
end
of
this
next
calendar
year,
which
again
just
increases
our
capacity
for
future
bonding
with
that
I'll,
put
forward
a
motion
to
approve
the
debt
service
fund
for
the
preliminary
budget
of
2022.
A
C
N
B
B
The
board
has
authorized
and
potentially
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
depending
upon
who
their
new
hire
is
and
what
they
elect
for
health
insurance
if
they
took
family
coverage.
It's
about
a
ten
thousand
dollar
bill
to
the
district,
obviously
minor
bill
for
life
insurance
and
dental
insurance
on
that
employee
and
then
tffr
the
biggest
increase,
and
I
think
this
will
make
some
of
us
very
happy
in
their
budget
comes
in
the
food
line
item.
B
B
We
have
been
kind
of
operating
with
a
waiver
and
you
know
a
prayer
from
the
state
because
we
have
been
well
over
what
we
are
supposedly
authorized
to
have
as
a
fund
balance
here
and
so
cindy's
been
working
on
spending
this
down
with
jackie
the
last
two
years
and
this
year,
or
through
the
course
of
next
year.
We
will
have
accomplished
that
we're
going
to
take
our
fund
balance
down
to
about
90
000
in
the
nutrition
service
budget.
B
So,
even
though
it
looks
like
we're
bleeding
red
here,
we're
bleeding
red
by
design
to
try
and
get
in
compliance
with
state
guidelines
and
knowing
that
going
forward,
we
feel
we're
set
pretty
well
on
the
nutrition
services
to
operate
with
the
budgets
based
upon
the
meal
prices.
We
have
going
forward
with
that
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
nutrition
service
fund.
Preliminary
budget
for
2022.
F
Jennifer,
I'm
thinking
thank
you
for
asking
that,
because
one
of
my
questions
was
going
to
be,
if
we're
increasing
the
quality
of
food
and
spending,
how
are
we
doing
that
at
the
same
time
that
we're
the
federal
government
is
paying
for
the
lunches?
So
that
must
be
the
answer
to
that
question.
I
perhaps,
unless
someone
wants
to
share
something
different,
then
I
have
a
follow-up.
I
Jackie,
I
believe
I
should
have
had
cindy
here,
maybe
under
the
seamless
summer
option,
which
is
a
new
program
that
we've
have
not
used
in
the
past
for
this
upcoming
year,
that
reimbursement
is
actually
higher
than
our
typical
reimbursement
would
be.
So
that's
where
she's
able
to
actually
up
the
the
food
quality,
hopefully
as
well
as
you
know,
we're
anticipating
costs
for
food
are
going
to
increase
just
like
every
other
thing
has
been
tracking
this
year
as
well.
F
And
then,
if
I
may,
my
follow-up
question
is
so
when
cindy
has
spoken
to
us
in
the
past.
She's
talked
about,
if
I
recall
correctly,
a
three-month
reserve
in
this
account,
and
so
that
must
have
shifted,
but
you
jim
referred
to
state
law
as
something
changed
in
state
law.
Or
can
you
just
help
me
understand
what
the
goal
is
now.
I
Right
so
it's
really
federally
and
then
the
state
has
to
monitor
us
on
that.
The
food
service
fund
is
limited
or
should
be
limited
to
no
more
than
three
months
operating
expenses
in
their
fund
balance.
We
have
been
over
that
for
quite
a
period
of
time,
so
every
year
we
have
to
request
a
waiver
from
the
state,
and
we
also
have
to
send
in
a
document
that
lists
how
we
intend
to
resolve
that
problem.
I
The
one
thing
I
will
say
in
looking
at
this
budget
and
and
all
of
the
budgets
that
you
so
far
have
approved
tonight
as
well
as
this
one
is.
These
are
comparing
what
we
budgeted
last
year
to
what
we're
anticipating
the
budget
is
going
to
be.
So
when
we
bring
this
back
to
you
for
final
approval,
we
will
switch
that
around
and
you'll
be
comparing
year
to
date.
What
actually
happened
in
2021
to
watch?
What
we're
budgeting
in
2022.
I
I
looked
at
her
fund
balance
or
anticipated.
We
anticipated
a
1.4
million
dollar
loss
this
year
right
now,
she's
sitting
at
a
400
000
loss,
so
the
fund
balance
will
still
have
quite
a
bit
in
it
and
we
should
be
under
that
limit.
Hopefully,
but
we
haven't
closed
out
the
year
yet
so
I'm
not
sure
what
hasn't
been
booked
as
well.
So
I'm
comfortable
that
we'll
be
fine.
These
numbers
will
definitely
change
when
we
bring
you
that
final
budget,
though,
for
all
the
funds.

B
These
documents
that
we
just
went
through
the
last
half
hour
take
a
full
year
to
come
to
fruition.
At
this
point,
jackie's
got
an
incredible
team
upstairs,
but
it
also
takes
a
lot
of
people
in
the
department
level
and
the
building
level
to
work
with
her
team
to
really
analyze.
What
did
you
spend
money
on
last
year?
What
do
we
need?
What
can
we
forego?
B
A
Thank
you,
jim
all,
right.
The
next
item
on
the
business
agenda
is
a
change
to
el9
it's
memo
11,
and
that
is
something
that
came
to
the
governance
committee
when
we
were
when
the
board
reviewed
and
monitored
el9
regarding
asset
protection
and
the
reason
of
the
change
is,
there
is
an
update,
as
listed
in
the
memo
tied
to
century
code,
which
is
why
the
recommendation
was
made
to
talks
about
competitive
building.
Procedures
must
be
used
for
construction
projects
more
than
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.

Is
there
consensus
that
we
move
the
board
reports
section
to
our
next
meeting?
I
hear
I
see
heads
nodding
so
we'll
do
that
item.
11
is
affirming
our
next
meeting
august
10th.
That's
when
we'll
have
the
board
reports
conversation
from
this
meeting,
and
I
would
like
to
mention
just
a
couple
of
items
and
I
see
anne-marie
holding
her
hand
up.
Just
please
make
sure
you
refer
to
the
president's
report.
Currently
there
are
a
variety
of
important
dates
there.
A
A
A
majority
of
folks
are
able
to
be
at
that
meeting
over
others.
There
will
be
a
conversation
about.
Is
there
the
opportunity
to
maybe
call
in
to
that
meeting?
If
you're
not
able
to
be
there
in
person
and
then
the
other
item
is
we
did
make
a
decision
on
the
work
session
that
is
september
21st
at
8am
anne-marie.
Was
there
anything
else.
