very much Miss Patsy members of board cabinet and community of amazing programs throughout City Unified School District I'm up to and including Avid which it is really really powerful in terms of deep and lasting impacts on families and so I'd like to call up Kevin crop fail to talk a little bit about this program and introduce some of its students and amazing teacher and coordinator  thank you who's here is been especially be wonderful middle school with are Avid team we are free wonderful teachers at amazing students and I thank the board for your support in the AL what process in the funding of our AVID program extremely important dark Tunes who are right there in the middle who know can go right over the top and just be a maze amazing students in off to for your college right out of high school so that we have it here in a minute or High School I'd like to invite a pictures up students to give you a little presentation about would have it as doing at our Middle School hello I could sell Mendoza Christina Halloran Haley Torres is any of the teachers and support staff of the Cork City Middle School AVID program and verbally proud of the work that are twins are doing and the path that they are probably towards call we have two of them with us here who put together a video too kind of highlight for you with Avid is about  my name is Bryce Spencer I'm Justin Bieber Jesse Williams Crazy Ones at organization Paula sister Jackie Pedro Mendoza you know we don't like my attitude play capable by GPS espresso sensational Peter Alana Hitler fascism cake Sensations didn't you get put on probation insight College college College college Chabot College college College Avenue College college I wish my GPA was so so so so so so sensational if I may if I could call this back up because I just think it's important that that that the board week table to ask questions and also the understand that I'm some of them are featured in the oven video about the Apple process over alright are Cornell notes time management tutorial and just to be able to talk to her answer was that that you may have a talk about what's really not in that feel and really an underlying effect of Abbott overall which is really the self-efficacy and stop the belief and are the students overall I think that starting it in the middle school is really what allows that to happen where students see themselves as college-bound immediately and go through a navigate our School academic lives in such a way I mean that's kind of doctor line point of purpose of that and so if anybody wants to speak to that as any questions at all recognize the program in that way for its academic and personal impact on the lives and belief systems with kids is it Christmas sweater day I love them though I do have one question one cup and one question is can you tell me what Cornell about says so Cora notes is a Hallmark of the AVID program my babe was rudely started in Cornell officially because some students weren't quite passing their courses and it's a concept of taking the time to Spence went to take notes in the classroom but you do something with notes that isn't welts hot and that is to revisit because often students take notes and then they go in the folder and they seem like that but truly what we try and teach it is the purpose of note-taking is ultimately to get a good grade in the class will you do that by taking the note in the class skip the next evening you on we talked to a colleague or to a teacher about something you were confused about so that be, tool a mechanism to visit Buys so that you retain the information that's fantastic thanks and then I also wanted to say that when we went to which is the state School Board conference last year in San Diego and I was super knew at that point I don't even know if we have been sworn in I can't remember I was so new and I went down there and the very first thing I learned was that the entire State anyone who's anyone who believes in like act lesson really supporting kids to be successful in college believes that they do it through Avid and and so I was so excited to know that it was a strong and driving program so I love having it highlighted and thank you so much I'm very excited about it  well I don't have questions like teach a huge fan of of avid I'm a huge fan Cornell notes and if Kelly if you would like them come to your house and teach your children how to my kids larded and they're not to have it so I mean it gets around is she she wasn't excited about the time I love the work that you do mittman Ching Avid is is a whole separate subject and requires quite a bit of teacher preparation every single class I know that and I also know that show you some good speakers and I have been not too good about getting them so far but I will get you more I promise because one of the other things that they do and they have classes bringing guests where's the students get a better understanding of all the possible career paths that are out there and so anyone who's watching this video right one in the audience who might be just talked to the students about what you do for living and what your career path was to get there can communicate with me and I'll get you in touch with the right people to make that thank you and you guys going to field trip today  so I was going to just take the time or an after than just working on any skills it's really about a family to you tell tell tell the board about how things are done adventureplex was the first one that we've been on so far and it was a team bonding experience play bring us together and work together to push each other like there was somebody you up there with us when we did the ropes course and some afraid of heights and all of us pushed them through it to get through the force record breaking down yeah the creative team me and 5 other students had idea to make the video and we all put our ideas together to write the lyrics put the video together and I do all the editing in the video making thank you for widest wanted to stay if any of you or ever interested you're more than welcome to come to my Class C to turn up the action obviously would be after the winter we have Tuesdays and Thursdays mine is. wives that would be after lunch I think when she put a c tutorial and it's process it kind of gives a better sense we try to show that little bit with the video but I walked the guys of course um can I see Evan and action and we greatly appreciate the opportunity to present here preciate the boards to program  thank you thank you so much thank you okay now we're on to 8 points of the super intense report thank you so much Miss pass Palace and esteem members of the board cabinet and Community there is lot going on in our schools and I hope that as week of wine down and get to winter break up it'll be a really valued and appreciated time for all of students in families and not only spend time with each other kind of wine down but also to really appreciate all that we've done this year so far which is been really really and truly extraordinary last week I had the opportunity to go with the high school's APPA dance team as well Hooper's of that  dance troupe now so girls who code to do a Alberta performance at at Google Venice Beach I mean it was really an extraordinary thing to be a puppet of because it really demonstrated that intersection of Arts and Technology and a way that I think is about as real as it gets in regards to Career academic opportunities blending and intercepting really in a way that is very new to schools perrita even 10 15 years ago that career and academic Endeavors the Arts and when you know your court are are are really part and parcel of the same going forward so I encourage people to check that out of the van on all of our social media channels and whatnot another I wanted to update the board Community about is our calendar process overall and so I'm two weeks ago we asked our parent for input on a survey to help inform our school year calendar on for 2017-18 1819 and the feedback that we got was great and I'm extensive and really helps to inform the calendar process overall which as you know is it would go ciated item through our bargaining teams no just wanted to kind of update the board on that we have surveys buying out right now I'm through who are collective bargaining units to remembers collecting further interest in kind of narrowing down the scope of that decision I'm over all those are really big decisions that have lots of different interest and impacts on all sorts medical groups in so you can imagine that parents want to make sure that I'm appropriate break and place for their students that teachers have concerns about semester stop an end times and I'm impact for example on a p program Freight how many instructional days are before or after an AP exam also concerns about summer camp opportunities right that exist in summer enrichment and so I'm doing that at the way that involves all of those opinions and perspectives is really important it's important to me of commune repeat that I'm to our members overall and the way in which we do that and have that dip course is also important right that it's civil and that it makes sense and that we do the best that we can to all extend paw to have the most comprehensive calendar that needs all of our needs all of the time and so just wanted to update the board on that so I'm that's happening I'm throughout this weekend I'm will be revisiting that I'm on finally so thank you  thank you Amelia yes Miss Pat cast members of the school board members of cabinet and Community good evening I'd like to start off of on my report with a thank you to the entire

made it to be able to kind of look at that in an interactive process so that our students and our staff kind of can look at the the test and use it as a you too also will be doing that throughout February and March also I've been seeing some board members out about over the last week that it's winter holiday concert season and it's been such a wonderful Showcase of our music program of greatly

Rachel Snyder are you still working a festive sweater High School yeah okay  two good evening I am Rachel snot during a social studies teacher for 23 years Culver City High School Wells the academic support coordinator please note that the point I am making this evening are reflective of a concession at an informal you have 9 Social Studies department members this morning while at home we have concern about the overall procedures regarding create a new school calendars for the district I do understand that this is part of the collective negotiations however year after year there is a failure to really get an understanding from the factory regarding our views and I have a collection of emails I have turned over the last probably 8 years regarding the process  the needs of the three levels are differently different but can't be a question that people off get our district based on pie School particularly graduation rates college admissions and AP scores to choosing a schedule are not informed with the other grade levels were not informed with this recent vote the reasons for the earlier start dates which would clearly benefit the high school and finish their first semester before winter turn their fault for final exams as well no teachers were notified there to even be a district meeting with only the three Union presidents and teachers rep isn't it so that we could give  are pinions are in express our concern before the three schedules are equal created for the check employees to vote  essentially asked what was the point of the high school attempting its Grand experiment this past semester as we haven't as a fat they had a chance to even discuss our Impressions because we haven't even finished the master  Bill overwhelmingly after discussing with my students Garfield and are thrilled that they're going to be done with a final exams before went break  based on the vote of the light late start date that we are now going down there is no way the high school finished finals before winter break next year  to give you an idea of why we are frustrated by the lack of information let's start dates to be entire District staff one social studies teacher spoke with a few OCD teachers this morning about the vote and they shared they voted for later start when the social studies teacher explains why there was an early start date they expressed they had no idea what I all these years there had been and early start date had they known impact on the high school they would have voted for the early schedule call APM econ teachers have already term it that there will be no way for them to ship her and offer both AP government and econ to our seniors next year seniors will have to choose one thank you thank you thank you for your and his concerns I don't think I think the seasons are still on going to my understanding and it's not in cement yet so we appreciate your comments and they will be taken into consideration my next card is a Jinn good evening everybody hand up happy holidays in Rector sliding to the winter break I've got two things I want to talk about so that the first one is we are launching a walking School Bus program as part of the same school so what that means is we are looking for volunteers and coordinators to help us design find routes for each of the schools help the kids get to school safe play without a car to walking School Bus work since we started specific start location we design and we pick the kids up to walk Gulf Coast in January 11th will be having a workshop looking for volunteers working for your support both to be there if you wishes to evening in the information but to pay tax and also help promote program throughout the entire District looking for parents were looking for faculty looking for community members that can take leadership roles even high school students can participate in this a great way to get service hours sat January 11th I'm going to be at the school district offices I'm in the boardroom from 6 to 8 will be sending out some promotional materials this week before school what soap to help me spread the word and then secondly on a different topic when I thank the entire board up and superintendent's office for the transpro Berkeley it was just launched I went to a parent Workshop a week ago maybe 2 weeks ago over at the middle school and it looks awesome I'm so excited to be able to start it incorporate always planning to our family and having ongoing discussions and adding and subtracting and having guidelines I'd never even heard of this program for the works published really helpful and it's a really fantastic it that's been into our future and I just wanted to ask a parent that thank you for that investment Jim did you say it was January 11th can you work that with you on that Wednesday which event the Appalachian State District so maybe we'll talk about okay thank you for that not literally and one of the age of all it does it Jerry or Janet  okay no thank you message I like to follow up on what Snyder had to say about the calendar for men because I've advocated right here in front of the school board that my particular and impersonal position is that the school year needed to start earlier that the first semester at the high school needed to end prior to the winter break that the AP exams in the exam later in May needed consideration for school calendar from that perspective I still believe that students who are under the pressure of coming back but you never I never understood why you would come back after two week break have two more weeks of academic rigor and then step right into a fight exam. After end up at and what's the discussion that I for year after year is that summer has an issue because Dunes have a tendency to lose some of that great knowledge that they were able to achieve during the school year but now you take two weeks off and you ask him back that's not a vacation young people and I've discussed here about times at the day should start and brakes and kids getting a number of hours of sleep and rest in those some things I think that's an important break for them so my suggestion continues to be start the school year earlier and August not August 28th I think add to calendar proposals that I saw was the 14th or so I think that's absolutely important I don't think the weather should be an issue because we the hottest raised in the fall in October this year so you're not avoided that and maybe that will change but I think academically from my perspective having vet the classroom any number of years 30 some odd years that those young and having seniors for most of that entire time that their benefit was that you could take the time off and I'm other teachers have the opportunity and generally some of them do give a notorious Islands or Magics that are to be completed and turned in after the break and yet teachers get a break many of them don't do a whole lot during that two-week time take it as a mental health time they go on vacation and yet the students have those assignments that are due so please consider that very carefully I understand it's negotiated item and but I do believe what Rachel had to say is true and it's it's been an issue at least in the special studies department when I was when do we get our side and yes there are there are leaders for the certificate and classified staff but I also need to go down to the teachers who are there in the room every day for the tire school year and find out exactly but they had to say and why think that's important not only the leaders not only the one or two people that serve on that committee thank you thank you Jerry  band members the forward let's start with Kelly  so I'll start with boring and who is positive I think boring is my most recent Baldwin Hills cap report this is like a community Advisory board that goes and gets reports from the company and what Drilling and fracking if that's the case is going by the Inglewood oil field and this is the first time I felt like I should report be is everything else it's been really uneventful there's no drilling it's not phenomic Lee feasible there's no fracking they're getting Barrel oil but not through drilling stove but in 2016 it turns out that there's been enough subside in so this means the Earth has dropped it's subsided right enough that the county and route girl agencies are going to investigate and what their hypothesizing is it this is primarily related to the drought cuz the fluid underneath or Surface level Earth is just depleted to such an extent that the is napping and I just thought was important to share because water is life and we're not conserving enough and could could nerve more and so here's another reason because the Earth is moving okay so I'm more positive thing I saw a walking nightmare buy a TPA on the high school and I was fortunate enough to be able to see it because they had to postpone for a rain date and I would not been able to see it if it weren't for the rain date so I was lucky and will be very pleased both my kids came with me I have to drag them skip kicking and screaming and they were just totally enraptured and it was really cool Innovative I was very impressed it did A Dance version of the holiday movie Nightmare Before Christmas which is like Halloween and Christmas together learned a lot that day was fantastic then I will just end with it for the team is going to talk about this is what we all went to San Francisco together to State School Board conference this year and it was fabulous if only because we all take know each other better and spend time together and I really appreciate that if we're getting stronger every year as we do that more and spend more time with each other night happy to be able to say it it's on louder what else fellow board members Robbins I join doctor Arnold at the illuminate dance event at Google Butch was raising and I was really personally excited to see that with the exception of one male dancers all female dancers High School an all-female call girl coders and so illuminated program really is about a purging and advocating for girls interest Munich what is involved in coding and most populous the one other take where I had from that was there was a panel of speakers and students were allowed endoscope they're not just Culver City or lied to come up and out questions or comments and I repeated theme that came up from several other students different districts was how do I get this in my school how do I get how do I learn how to code how do I do this and something for us it gave us a moment of real gratitude undertale we have this in our district is nothing working to find their students clearly in other districts Riverside Pasadena even were like we don't have this so how do I do it on my phone just say that we should we be grateful for this cuz we have it here it is the season of winter concerts recorders include and I'm trying to go to the night as possible and then I will have to say that save the date for January 11th also save this date for the state of the district make this is the first one we've done private school districts that will be a pretty nice event that it's going to be through co-host with the iPhone please go get your tickets will be at the Courtyard Marriott and the tickets are $30 and you can get them on the adoptions website thank you in okay I was in San Francisco too it was a great opportunity for us to Bond as a board the contents of the meeting was is okay not bad but could have been better so this has been the week of for our school district and myself the Google experience was amazing it was just amazing so wonderful to see our students up there dancing and these if you have to see the video you got to go on our website to see it cuz it is it is an amazing thing to watch the program the lights to go on and off of these suits and our girl coded it and then art student dancers dance to it and it was really a beautiful thing with the hour of at every level in every school and I had the pleasure being able to judge robotics competition at the middle school there were Freeport mcmorran paid for very large number of robotics kits of the different kinds of kids to teach robotics programming and how to how did the robot and so forth at a stepwise process if I'd of the three-week long Cooper said they paid for left it with us so all of that equipment is is ours to keep I got to watch students built these awesome little robots and compete with them and it was fun I also had video with that so there was just a ton of tech computer to be able to report on I've also to a number of concerts I am herpin deck the halls for close to 10 times now okay that's great so I I will say the what a couple to the really touching Parts we're hearing little kindergarteners and 1st graders singing the middle school high school or amazing musicians that are high school just amazing musicians and singers and then I don't know how many people know this but our chamber singers went to the Culver City Woman's Club luncheon on Monday and sang for that and those ladies were rest of it they were just kept saying I can't believe they are students are also sharing their gifts not just football performances with other community members that are up there and that is all I have I don't have much because attending concerts I've been  persuading certain seniors to get their college applications. That has been my life since before Thanksgiving but I'm happy to announce that with that 15 of them done we're done  goodness I did want to mention the CSP conference we do annually and the sure I went to the dick before they were pre-conference it's Symposium I found that to be quite useful actually Stowe  there are parts of it that you know a lot of things there that we should perhaps be the presenters rather than an in the audience because I think we have a lot to offer here and should we should probably work on that for next year in terms of our attendance and our participation for us to be more of presenters than simply absorbing think that we've heard several times or that we're already doing I think we have a lot of good stuff here doing part have to say that we don't always have new things to learn but I think we have took me a lot to offer  let's see  I think we can now move long to just take a brief recess okay I know okay we're going to come in here move boxes long original time we've got the trips tantrum report I believe on his going to be presenting  yes good evening everyone I'm Shawn Kearney the director of fiscal services and the ways I kind of have a standard format for my presentation I will go into the notable differences between the current budget and the budget which was the adopted budget briefly talk about the multi-year projection and then additional items kind of on the horizon and Culver City Unified School District is failing the 2016-17 first interim Report with the positive prettification this report says that the district needs to state-required reserved for economic uncertainty of 3% in the current school year and through physical your 2018-19 so this first I highlight D the net decrease in the fund balance as you could see at the adopted budget time it was a little over 3 William and currently for first enter um it's a little over 1.6 million and then the next light I will go over some of those differences and as they are pretty significant especially on the revenue side and in our budget Depends for deficit spending obviously there's two things that you can do you can either find ways to increase your Avenue you can decrease your expenditures and or services  sickness next slide have a pretty significant increase in our CF lean and that's to enrollment has a pretty significant impact on our budget as you can see it's about a million dollars and part to the growth in just just the district just just real just expanding and and we have dis Rihanna Center client enrollment but district is growing and and we're thriving still this is a positive thing we really happy to see this and hopefully we continue to see enrollment in please as we build more capacity with the bond program  the second bullet points there was an increase in the lcff funding eleiko ATA adjustment and to be honest I went back and forth with Lego on it kind of hurt me a little bit as we are running different scenarios in our lcff for multi-year for increased enrollment found out that that they were not updating our our current and roll search for kind of these future your projections whenever we close the books we we use a state-certified p to else if I have calculations so in the past does not an issue but come to find out that it was a pretty significant increase in Upper lcff revenue and suppose I've communicated with Lego off of Arden nation is up today and so cupping Ford obviously all that information is going to be accurate and now we're double and triple checking that thirdly there was a slight decrease in the one-time State funding for the mandated cost they lower the per ATA amount that they would funding so that was a slight decrease of about a hundred a thousand and then finally on the revenue side this was another pretty significant increase and this is in our transfers if you can recall I provide a DeVore what day are we development agency kind of Prior Year's analysis and as as part of our agreement with the city we trance roughly about 1.4 million dollars a year and for the general fund to fund ongoing operations and as a result of the analysis we looked at prior years and found not that there was some Revenue that was sitting in a fun 40 which is one of our Capital project funds that we were allowed to transfer into the general fund for operating and sew weave decided to move board with that and as you can see it it's a nice one time engine of Revenue into the general fund of about 988000 and that's in addition to OnPoint 1.4 million dollars that we transfer each year  and on the expanded perseid there's been some salaries and benefits in of course you know we're adding additional staff to to support our increased enrollment and just continue programs on the benefits ID there's a pretty significant increase in that was due to the increase in the cap for health insurance in the some of our statutory rape or going up like our workers comp rate with we're taking a close look at and trying to implement programs to help kind of bring her experience rates which will bring that those costs down books and supplies crease and that's due to our continued technology purchase purchases and implementation for things like Chromebook car and that's kind of instinct with Soma need new software programs that we've been offering to the students and then other offering expenses have increased and that's just continued on expanded locational services that district is providing so that makes up pretty much the difference between the adopted budget and the first enterome and then on the Emoji of your projection these items I've and have been highlighting in the previous reports is there kind of standard nickel but the increase if the employer contribution percentages to Spurs Emperor's are or increasing roughly 2% a year and that it's through 20 21 I'm stepping column increases we budget about 1% of year cuz that's kind of how to spend training over the previous year and then continued, Coral pimenta textbook adoptions technology upgrading and targeted spending for the Dell low income in Foster youth student in the most of your projection we are deficit spending his projected through 2018-19 but as I said Mike Josh and myself for working on a long change planter to address that in balanced budget  and finally just some other factors that are about their looming on the horizon are lcff funding it's approaching full implementation which means that kind of our annual increases each your kind of flattening out because we're reaching that forget that cap and sort increases are getting smaller and smaller as we approach that and there's always kind of where conditions to meet the trigger which would trigger the cap on District Cruisers under prop 2  and there's always a potential for a Slowdown in the state of conomy which that could trigger flat funding those are always things that were we're mindful loving and keeping an eye on  can if you have any questions happy to answer question  you have it I understand we're working at find it work with a balanced budget deficit spend but also in your projection it's only until 1819 is deficit spending if we don't get to a balanced budget point or we don't Morris is a revenue and why is that that seems actually shorter than  I thought would be that's for this day we're only required to go out to 2008 but it's good you said that because I'm actually putting together a Five-Year Plan I'll be putting that together this week and Josh and Mike and myself are going to take a closer look at that and that will give you a much better picture but as you get out into those you know what year a lot of the actions are a little more uncertain but I am putting that together current their important to have less accurate than the second-year out brightness can you read my current year or so cuz it's like as if after that everything poof is result and I believe the decisions that we make our soul term right past the three years but I am putting together a formal document that goes out 5 years in that information before anybody else thank you Sean I was look at the purse tantrum as well it's going to change right exactly the first center of does typically change pretty definitely from adopted but because we close the books from the prior year. We can really take a closer look at our app what is it that it's all very preliminary but thank you already so we're all the way down to 13.1 no proof of the Culver City Unified School District
