7:40 am
available on the budget page the districts website as well i'd like to make one comment business owner about the budget book if you have started looking at it you've noticed that some the consent especially around the sf description have to be updated the information you've heard under the item m discussion from the deputy superintendent gerrero and the team. >> (inaudible). >> that's my department. >> i didn't realize for that a dramatic effect. >> i screw want to point out some of that information needs to be just want and will be just want for the second reading but
7:41 am
there's a little bit of a work in progress didn't get communicated in time for the printing of the first reading booklet. >> deputy superintendent i asked superintendant that really cool guy i asked him about this page 67 of that book the one that was proposed budget on the office of family and parent engagement it is zeroed out that a hundred it was hit by a hundred percent and he said to look under another category but i believe that category was number 143 off-street parking we're consolidating but missing
7:42 am
over 2 hundred thousand i wanted to lowest the commissioners if they're reviewing the book and see the office of family engagement disappeared i think they're going to adjust that thank you. >> just to follow-up on the sf t; s there's a reference to the exhibit we it will be included in the second reading. >> let's see kevin was the only other public speaker so public comment is closed. >> and board rules do allow for
7:43 am
discussion on these items tonight are try any additional questions or comments commissioner wynns. >> thank you. i would like to oh i want to probe about the title one issue so i have the answers to the questions but i just want to so the main answer is that our allocation is less but all of those the implications we're using the fund for we're mandated to use the funds are percentages my question is are we getting they add up to more than the allocations are we using a percentage the money we used last year in terms of is the - are these percentages 40 percent directly to schools and 15 percent for administrator blah,
7:44 am
blah, blah are they percentages the $2 million or the percentages of those that we have left. >> okay. what our looking at the responses we provides water those are preservation for next year actually. >> so the percentage is the percentage of $11.2 million. >> whatever our allocation. >> how can percentages audience up for more than the allocation itself. >> you be specific along the right column the amount. >> the totals allocations are $12 million plus and projected entitlement or allocation is $11.2 million and yeah. that's why we have the deficit in red. >> what i'm telling you the
7:45 am
above amendments that is added is a percentage are they requiring us to spend more than a hundred percent. >> no a percentage was included because title one is the restricted resources and some percentage requirements on the total boogs allocation the way it was written to reflect why we had the shortfall because we are funded certain things on title one that exceeds the capacity. >> we're funding our tech avoidance for preschool so those things we're proposing to spend this is sort of the question we don't have to spend or transfer money into title one to spend money we're spend money on
7:46 am
preschool in our earlier education department and we've heard we're spending a lot of peace money and general fund money i don't understand why we're calling that a back filing of title one. >> that may not go be the best term but historically the same items at the same amount that shows if you continue that pattern there will be a deficit of $1.6 million. >> you think this is misleading we shouldn't see or is it that way it is not a good idea to vote on a budget we're spending $1.79 million from the general fund and transferring it into title one theoretically that's the way it is presented at the two budget meetings that seems to me it is wrong i don't see why we're doing that.
7:47 am
>> superintendent. >> yeah. so deputy superintendent lee will talk about that. >> thank you. superintendent quickly and we can modify the way of characterized as the a fairly easy thing to had the intention if you think about the question of giving the revenues we're giving significant revenues what's the expenditure that speaks for on xhoumz those are revenue increases there are a several two 0 which come to mind the largest representative the con restricted fund sources that you are either expiring or being reduced in order to maintain the consistent level of the programming we have to
7:48 am
absorb on the general fund the effect of those restricted funds either going away or being reduced the two on the chart they're on the slides are common core state phone or money that is a two year restricted grant it was eliminated we're continuing those are expenditures and so that is going to take 670-0000 to now under the general fund to continue and in the case of title one not an elimination but reductions in title one of $1 million plus we're not going to transfer into title one but reclasses those and have them charged to increase serviced
7:49 am
general fund. >> it seems to me we need to do and in fact at this excuse me. at the previous meeting we characterizations this as back filing title one spend she should say our m s p.s. s whatever we should say we're spending now less than than $3.2 million $2 million and make a note saying on the mp ss $2 million comes from title one that is less than from title one the toilet one revenue has changed that is has the same confusion about it looks like
7:50 am
we're spend things twice it isn't necessary we're spend are reproposing to say here's the mp ss and even another this is a unskriektd general fund in the federal fund spend this amount of money but all we'll have to do is say how much on mp ss and difference between what we spent this year and last year and note it's been reduced we're already spending more on the mp ss under the general fund if we wanted to put a note for the title one and now spend less we could do that but it - this clearly when this was explained i mean when i read this what was the answer to the
7:51 am
question this didn't make sense i think this is particularly true of federal funds after all we have a committee who's job to understanding the committee and to approve it and structure something in the budget that is so confusing so even though is it so not urban truthful it is clearly misleading or potentially misleading so i would like us to do that i think there are other places which as i've reviewing the budget will be revealed the same thing is true we have to find a way to say here's what we are spend and this is where the revenue comes from rather than amount of those things we have here those charts those shpts have difficult for
7:52 am
people to understand because there's things here that are actually, in the expenditure column and something like that so the budget where the money is coming from and less or more than before that's all. >> any further questions or comments about the budget at this time? commissioner walton >> i have a question one other than page 69 item college and career readiness am i reading it correctly a decrease in allocation from 2014-2015 to 2015-2016 2015-2016. >> yes, sir. that's a
7:53 am
$9 million decrease this could happen for a variety ever reasons there may have been a staff hired that were at a lower salary than what was try in the previous year but, yes you're right there's a $9,000 reduction, however if you look at the number of ftes fund that has not changed it is still at 5.5 ftes that was the level in 2014-2015. >> so the minimum amount we've addressed this a little bit we would like to understand a little bit just want when a was the reasoning for that and same page hundred 54 for any classification specialist funding programs what are we
7:54 am
talking about here. >> superintendent. >> page 5 did i'd like to ask kevin truit to kind of address that question and. >> you can comment so hundred 54 i sent rita a message it is specialist funding programs we put all the grants soft money it is renamed and it should be called counseling and posts secondary success that is is in the next reiteration a change of title and that's where counseling the staff on cook street that board will be
7:55 am
managed pie mary richard when they comics both my department and the executive director. >> any other questions. >> i wanted to thank the team for recapping the questions that came up i thought i had to write down them but you've captured one additional question you can respond to separately i was looking per the school looks at obligations and hoping for a bump at the school sites at rosa parks there's having a two percent bump and local two ftes i want to understand what two ftes is that bans student projections or what two fte are planning to be reduced and we will convene again next tuesday as a committee as a whole and interims that are
7:56 am
additional questions send them ahead to superintendent in advance of that meeting so staff we have an opportunity to respond. >> thank you, again, for your presentation. >> okay item r board members proposal the only item withdrawn and item s the board members to the other reports first, we want to share a report from the school district for commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and commissioner fewer and commissioner wynns. >> so we had an essay an is school district student crossing guard actually, i know that commissioners it was fabulous so we are thank you to supervisor
