7:15 am
underscore the chronic absenteeism and the other recommended investments and questions simple as that what are the recommended investments especially p was from the general fund and the boards expressed a desire to see the general fund expenditures that were rather the additional modifications to the p expenditure plan that as deputy superintendent lee we'll have that to share tomorrow and then there were questions about workforce housing, the employee assistance plan substitutes technology train and computer science the student assignment and enrollment system basically foreshadowing some of the agenda items we've discuss at tonight's

7:19 am
increase for the 63 $.6 million compared to the 2014-2015 year and that's listed on this slide and we presented the projects for the general fund including the variance from year to year and to recap and this is pretty much the same slide we presented at the last meeting to kind of underscore the fact we'll have a committee as a whole open the el cap and budget on the adjoin 16 the second reading will take place on the 23rd of june and that will be the date of the adoption of both the documents we sent the governor will sign the adopted state budget by
7:20 am

7:21 am
october 15th date in december we'll be working closely with the auditors to complete our annual audit and prep the ferries interim report that is due to the state on december 5th and if i ask add. >> couple of things one is that the current draft of theat1 the current draft of the el cap and the budget book you received on friday those are 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
7:22 am
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 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
7:23 am
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 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
7:24 am
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 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
7:25 am
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, 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.
7:26 am
>> 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 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
7:27 am
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 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
7:28 am
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. >> 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
7:29 am
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 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
7:30 am
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 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.
