8:00 pm
tonight. we're happy to try to answer the questions i have but i think just to make a suggestion for you to consider next week's discussion a dedicated discussion but if the commissioners time to think about your questions or share them outside the meeting so we can be perpetrate to address them and prepare accordingly to next week's meeting. on june 18th we think the mayor will have signed the budget. wherever the budget is infected
8:01 pm
we feel like we'll have a good sense of what's in that budget. but we all in cases after the board adopted the budget we look at the assumptions from the statewide budget and recommended additions to the budget. the schools receive their final budgets in september and go through the revising in september and october. the books 2013 will be closed and the audited financial statement in december. this last bullet there's an error here sorry about that this should s
8:02 pm
should say the report is - we won't go through those but we'll post those materials on the website and not everybody has obsessed on the lda. but we want to give you some background information >> so thank you. >> thank you depth superintendent. first i didn't see any speaker items >> i want to thank you for this. it's such a more moving targeted. i want to say this has occurred to me and hopefully level to us
8:03 pm
in preparing for the next two weeks. but i realized over the years as we've tried to improve the form and information that one thing we don't have in the budget are explanations of variances. i want to see what is a significant variance. what you did here what's in the special presentation about the special ed one the structural thing about we're going to move money from one structure to another and it's not the same money and what's kaikz the cost increases. you know, that's what i wanted to know when i was reading this
8:04 pm
part. so seems to me i don't expect you to write the budget but based on the questions we ask or other significant variables we should be paying attention to. if i could highlight those next week between that and the final vote >> yes. i want to say thank you. i can see what i'm going to be doing over the weekend. my question is on page 16 which is the expenditure highlights. one is related to what commissioner winn just brought up. maybe it's buried in here or those books by t is there a way you can pull this out a little
8:05 pm
bit. i know the commissioner young you brought up those large ticket items. can you do something similar to us and pull out the additional costs. so we know what's driving the bulk of our expenditures. i think that would be helpful to see this. i think that would be helpful to see. and also on the reflection of the spending reduction most of those are not in our expending priority. i want to know about those cuts and not chosen as a priority to replace the cuts. but a number of those things the
8:06 pm
is a - maybe you, report back and what we've done or choosing not to do and why we're choosing not to prior intents for the spending reductions >> conspires. >> yes. i want to thank very much for the comparison information. that makes it a lot richer. i agree there's more narrative. i have a few suggestion. first of all, when their pie chart if you could please put the pieces and the total amount.
8:07 pm
wherever you have a pie c if you could indicate what the 1 hundred percent is. and it's so precise it doesn't have a breakdown of the students only 58 thousands. i think it would be helpful how many pre k and high school students we have. i was trying to circulate what the funds were in the area. that's because of all the great local funding. i found some of the shading so dark you couldn't make out the numbers. so if you could look at the right ability of pie charts.
8:08 pm
it would be helpful to have a list of appendixes going throug not maybe a listings the schools and what page they're on and then a afl al - i think it would be better to have them in order. >> i was going to go around and say vice do you have and a questions. >> no, i just wanted we were all looking at the power point and talking about the budget the
8:09 pm
budget book. >> i have nothing until the meeting thank you very, very much. i know that we recently got the fund for the energy funding promises. what is san francisco going to do with that budget? >> yes, so student delegate is talking about the voter funding measure mostly capital improvements that has a connection to energy policies. there's been proposals about how
8:10 pm
that money should be spent and allocated and the governor has proposed since january this was passed in november of envelope the governor as proposed that it be ffkd on schools. and i don't think the ballot measure specified it need aed to be spent on schools. telling the truth i don't have total recall but our guess is our estimates have been about 5 to six million dollars for our district which is helpful. at the same time, we have in our 2011 bond program we have money
8:11 pm
that is dedicated within our bond program as well. we've had some conversations with our director and he's explained the focus of each of those prospective pots of money. so we he can definitely make good use of those resources and to go into more detail we need to provide and do a little bit more homework. >> so i had a couple of questions we can put on the list for discussion. the first thing i want to ask is - well, first of all, scratch that for a second. i want to commend you on the
8:12 pm
book it's excellent, it's excellent. if you really want to understand our budget read the first and secessions. i commended the deputy superintendent but said it was the two of you and courtney. i can tell that a tremendous amount of work went into that. we are now showing the lead abilities by area so we're breaking anti elementary 1, 2, 3 and high schools and elementary schools. but the comparisons don't look like that. i'm interested in seeing because i understand from superintendent
8:13 pm
lee you've put some resources into the teams. i was also alters concerned about the differences between the mission zone. it looks like the admission zone went up slightly in staffing while the baby zone went down slightly. i don't understand why that was. yes she has a clarification >> that is actually an unintentional omission due to our wonderful budget software. so that will be corrected in the second reading. >> good, i was worried about the baby zone.
8:14 pm
the other question that i had was the additional fund you mentioned there's additional support going to zone school and sort of you breaking it down. what's the difference in the parts of the zone in terms of resources? and then stem it looks like from the c n i stem area there's a reduction in stem i know it can't be right. clarify that for me. and did i have one other. oh, school help it doubles in size and i was sort of curious what that was about and what's going on there. but i think in general yeah. a
8:15 pm
little bit for daily what's new where the additional resources are going and then one other question i just noticed when we were going through the presentation. when you get to this chart i'm an expert in this chart but i'm wondering why - i understand why the revenue targets jump around because we're trying to predict a moving targeted. i'm concerns about the expenditure data. it seems like in emphasizing at the draft meeting i gave in may 2013 the expenditures were 2 hundred and 63 million and now
8:16 pm
there - the 2012, 2013 revenues are 23.6 million. why in it phase of that month it seems like that's a lot money difference in a 3 week period >> so what's the difference and why would it be gomd in if general we're seeing futures proved as time goes on. >> yes commissioner. >> number one i wanted to thank staffs patience as i was a talking with witnesses i'm a terrible whisper. as we were discussing the budget
8:17 pm
and going over some of the things but actually, i time to echo with president norton has said about the accessibility of those books now. their ears to read. i was able to explain how to approach therd of our budget. it's like a judge - juice i didn't place. i wanted to also the point is it's really assessable. and a lot more interesting you are about to give i'm sure they'll thank you as well. rd somebody's juice i didn't
8:18 pm
diary is really interesting >> so i'm seeing no other comments on the budget the last thing i would urge board members in you have substantive questions i want and the please get them to supervisor lee ahead of that meeting so we can have a deep discussion. we'll move on to item r which is a proposal in support of the fire department's that has overtaken tonights agenda. but let's press on. we'll need to suspend our rules so can i hear a motion and
8:19 pm
suspension of rules. move suspension of the rules >> thank you. (calling names)
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
that the points board of education sports the funding formula? >> yes. i would support that amendment. any other committals. i wanted to say that sing the actual feel actually incorporates those that that's a good thing. we were port the governors proposal so i don't know if you know if we're going to send him
8:22 pm
something. there's a little disconnect there. >> i understand but the governor wasn't for the restoration. if we send this to the govern and >> should we strict then governor brown from the title? >> yeah. >> okay (laughter) . sorry mr. govern our out (laughter) . govern would we think the amendment would say therefore for the resolve for the board of education sports local control funding for the schools? >> yes, that's fine. i want to thank you >> i port the resolution.
