we know how we are in restriction to other districts we have the rainy day fund and other district and q ta but other districts have actually passed a lot of parcel taxed so where are we in relationship to others districts this is something we might be able to fix for instance la unified must have passed something so maybe those tiny districts i don't know dingy so. >> just a little bit not a note i have here by the way those public disclosures of public hearing of our fund balance reserves has to be done annual

an annual event and only 35 districts out of 9 hundred and 44 had reserves that were below the state minimum in 2013-2014 so most of the majority of the district about 9 hundred out of the 9 hundred 44 districts had reserves in 2013-2014 that exceeded the not the two percent every district has a la unified has la unified is one percent but month as you can see 99 percent of the district in 2013-2014 had reserves that were substantially over their requirement and okay. thank you. >> it's a very good to know about where we or so i'm seeing that the statement of reason

that you put down are things like technology and then on the other side bus transportation so we're saying that we're going to using this overflow for those purposes; is that correct. >> some of the potential use. >> the potential uses okay. this is what i don't get in the budget we've set aside money for the purposes out of the budget we're going to approve together tonight so it that the implementation on both places that it is going to be this money and then in that block this money is that a duplication. >> no commissioner not a duplication take for example the $7 million for technology we our plan is proposal to use the

one time funds we will receive from the reimbursement or the paying back of our prior years amended complains that one time fund does not sunset it is provided to us in one fiscal year, however, districts can use that fund over a number of years what we have incorporated into our budget is a small amount to be used in 2015-2016 for the technology role outs with the understanding this will not - happen over 3 years and will cost the district a total of $7 million that is not incorporated 0 into the expenditure budget part of the reserves we're designating. >> and our next question so on

the state update page 7 you say that an additional of $490 million $490 million certified staff do we have an estimated amount what that means for us. >> any estimated amount is purely ball park historically of the district given outside this is purely based on- we've received roughly one percent of state funding so this will translate to roughly $4 million but again, it is purely ball park. >> since the methodology is different not based on 88. >> not on the certify. >> i don't know what the number

of certified staff statewide say, i know what we have but can't commute that. >> the reason i mentioned we have in our peace funding actually valid dictated a lot of money for this purpose i'm wondering if we can use the money to cover some things in the peace budget we can use it with one time money and, of course i'm concerned about the george washington they need help 75 percent of the staff the first thing principle and others coaches this is a perfect setting to fund something like that to give them more support i think it is for educator effectiveness and it fits in just a suggestion i actually would strongly

caution against using those remember those are one time funds salaries are ongoing so i really caution putting salaries on one time fund ambassador by all means using it to balance - and so in our p funding we have a liz of fund we could use this money and swap it out for the p funds i'd like to give that suggestion actually it seems this is what they're designated for and actually, we have - we're going to be voting on this amount of money i like the p budget a lot of it can be put into this too. >> this one time so even though some of the programs programs are ongoing we can pickup again next year but for this is it

fits in; right? we can discuss that does that make sense. >> no deputy. >> so commissioners, if i could chime in for a little bit of a one way we might or you might think about there are several aspects of the state budget as described are different than the assumptions that we're asking you to consider and adapt some of them work in offsetting was for example this professional development for certified employees this is the ball park figure let's imagine that is $5 million it might be a little bit less it depends on the proportion of our fte counted versus the statewide we don't

know what the statewide fte we're using the back of the envelope it is about one percent of the total statewide stfrtd the nominee the appropriation of $9 million in the neighborhood it is along we're proportionate that's not in the flying recommended budget on the other hand, there are reductions in the lcff funding in the final agreement that are lower than assumed in the recommended budget that we have been constricting until last week basically there's also a reduction in the one time money for the mandate cost reimbursement those together might be a $5 million

hit frankly so we might receive $5 million more or less reduction in the lcff and the one time cost reimbursement and see that money in the form of an increase for through this one time certified professional development grant so some calculations that we need to as the lady will be the lead person as we get more detailed and the specific impacts for each component of the state budget we'll have to see i caution the board from getting attached to specific proposals about you know things like the certified block grant money until we see the aggregate of the increases and decreases one comment about the professional block grant resource we did include in the

recommended budget an increase in unrestricted resources for the begin for the program and sups to the tune of one million dollars 34 or 5 so that is certainly a use that on its face can be used for associated with this certificate of professional development fund and those funds are good for 3 years so they can last for next year and the following two years i think those are the kinds of details we'll be well-advised to think through and bring back the reserve shuns. >> it is true for everyone i'm looking at this is the the

program we've invested in this time around but things like the treat all the administrative meetings those kinds of things seemed like fits the description of the block grant up for discussion and give us ideas that we can do this and the other thing i want to talk about the special education budgeted so i'm looking at this budget and again my apologies i don't know how to look at this i'm looking at the 2 hundred 90 in this book and under special education so walk through this is a total budget of special education of hundred and

$36 million 3 hundred and 51 plus; is that correct that looks at as to that is an increase though; correct i'm looking at this 2014 and 2015-2016 budget and it looks as to that has gone up and one department i know our transportation costs has gone up but not this much i'm wondering we did a special ed, i went i could be wrong superintendent carranza but the special ed budget will remain flat we've done redesign around resources and the kind of stuff it absorbs any new expenses so i see this budget creeping up a little bit

and i'm assuming this is part of our general fund contributions is about $70 million it that what that is? i think when the budget committee i was on it was $50 million i'm wondering did i miss hear you deputy superintendent gerrero when you said the budget will remain flat you said so it is going to remain flat i'm seeing an increase of million dollars i'm questioning that i could be reading it wrong i'm going to ask the superintendent >> great, thank you dr. murase and commissioner fewer the biggest cost driver is staffing staffing is incredibly important

but it is also driven by i e p and the staffing that requires as part of i e p the board recalls over the last two years we've made considerable efforts to align staffing where the i pe needs from consolidations from schools moving staff to other schools and the board remembers you see one school going to another school staffing is a driver of the costs around special education unrelated to they design with the special education services i will venture to say and weigh in were not for the inefficiencies as we impacted

towards the design that increase would have been more substantial so increasing more substantial without the work we've done i want to ask the superintendent to talk about that what that means. >> superintendent sort of voiced what i was going to say because of the managed staff are rescued in this budget and because of the salary and compensation increases that number reflects accounting for the increase dr. listing and team are on deck they've walk through the budget as well and drizzling into the redesign and efficiency it is the apparatus or infrastructure that has grown much there are other areas we see sort of levels of service

directly to students increasing; right? so expand in early education we've also are able to more easily identify students that require services and we've seen the expansion as we go to the young ages this is not area of services early on. >> so i think this is a substantial enough contribution that we should probably compare it to impact and results; right? which i have not had an update it would be helpful this is an item that keeps increase the amount increases and i understand it is what equity it

takes more to educate the students but make sure this $70 million is actually sort of the impact results we really want to see and especially around a through g and california high school exited for good, i hope i think that we can look at our own measures for success and not be concentrated on the standardized tests every time i look at this it is wonderful things have more money but as we spend more money we should be mindful. >> thanks for the answering the question. >> other questions or comments commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell. >> thank you. i have a quick

question on something that caught my eye if on one - under curriculum and instruction page 142 from the private school and admin we're budget for 441 and the recommended budget of $410,000 adjustment i'm curious why the huge reduction is there someone able to respond? >> call resisted page.

>> i'm looking at the details it has been - >> esisted page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - >> isted page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - >> isted page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - >> >> >> >> sted page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - ted page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - ed page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - d page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - t page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - j page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - e page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - h page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - e page. >> i'm looking at the details it has been - i believe. >> we'll start behind you rita and go ahead. >> i was going to say title - >> so this is just like because it is moved into 042 the support for private schools needs to maintain equitable amounts those should be moved into 2015-2016 it is federal and state. >> so what is this i guess what

is this position and why did we have to move it we're investing $451,000 or $10,000 that is move forward somewhere. >> so the program is responsible for managing the federal resources title one and two when federal fund we're required by law to insure that private school students that qualify for title one or two services are ref equitable services so overseeing 152 and 7 are effectively the same organizations that is all federalist so we're trying to work across multiple programs that is part of 452. >> got it and i'm sorry with this is this a position or the

funds to start to equalize services. >> we do not allocate funds for positions at private schools we allocate fund for equitable services this is why you see that in the contract we have one program administrator in the office of federal and state programs that does monitor the private school responsibilities terrific thank you. i appreciate that i want to reiterate the things we feel about this is extremely overwhelming our saving grace we appreciate the responds to the questions over the last several weeks but have it the night of we say this every year i hope we come up with a better system to

help us i've i mean of we get it in chunks but in some form that allows. >> i've never seen all 7 of us in the back office trying to catch up i know you guys are trying to keep with the changes i don't know how to manage that but it is really difficult to have all of this in front of us the evening of thank you >> commissioner walton. >> again first of all i want to thank the team for this abrupt process you've been definitely responsive to our questions and the questions from the community i want to through another plug in terms of the transparency part as we continue to move forward year by year as the el

cap and involve the community when we are going through the budget process i want to be mindful and another question i brought up still interested to hear what the city is doing with the resources do we ever get a detailed account of those dollars. >> from the preschool for all of p are we only allowed to see the 2/3rd's portion i know i can get them somewhere else but it is nice to see where the dollars are going to and in terms of foster care and homeless populations and students in sro's as well as all the attention we put ones public housing i hope once we get the final resources from the state

and once our finally p allocations are determined from the city we really are intentional about seeing the resources and opportunity going to the students and the communities as well again want to thank you for being thoughtful of paying attention to the commissioner president loftus the equity fund and looking those resources those are important a lot of our children particularly in low income and disenfranchised community don't get to go to the exploratorium or the academy of sciences having opportunities to learn about science and go places that don't require a lot of resources for them if we're able to make that possible that's important i appreciate our paying attention to that and the notion in terms

of what we look at the different - departments in the budget and making sure that there maybe a possibility important percentage of every department to put money towards internship or money towards career pathway as we look at developing opportunities for our students to work in the district and stay in the city a certain percentage under essential office budget or the innovation and social justice portion of budget etc. just things to that about possibilities i don't know if they complaisance but thinking outside the boxing to our students to stay in san francisco and being able to work with the district as well by thank you for your work and i'm

looking forward to seeing what we prioritize with other resources that come from the federal and state and our final education >> thank you i want to thank everyone i think there was a very long list of folks that are part of this i think when you put together something this big and complicated and you do it the right way i think we're able to get to a point where most of our questions and my questions we're expressed our priorities and i essential time to appreciate all the folks that were part of the el cap task force and another districts meeting like this our voting on spending 63 million dollars a lot of folks lynn up

saying this is was not heard we said this should be here and not and on the fronted end made this a collaborative inclusive process we were able to get to this point of we didn't get what we want we feel we were heard and that's important the spirit of the el cap process when it was created we've honored that spirit and it helps we're spending more money and having more to invest rather than cit; right? this might look different if we were in that position and think that is important i especially appreciate the budget recommendations of the chart that shows the increased expenditures for a lot of folks and certainly this is the first place to look what's different

from last year and why and how it reflects the priorities of the board our partners and how did we get there if you look at this and for the community i want to you know offer that up as something you should look at closely you know big increases as noted around salary and benefits which was what huge provided for the district and board and noted it should be ongoing conversations and a number of specific increases site based on allocations and support of schools and problematic areas i know they're important for the board technology and management i'm proud of where we got to with this budget i know there is a lot of work with went into it. >> i have a couple of quick questions about things i want

more information around one is and i know this is noted pretty significant increase to the transportation budget a change in contract who that contract went to i want more information about what this sort of source of that significant $3 million in increased costs for transportation and the other piece this is something i brought up last year as well as more information around in m t sf and to superintendent gerrero we have a number of positions that are funded under the student enhancing the students programs for the stutter ftes so i wanted to ask not that i don't

see the importance of execute but in some cases schools they have an allocated council but 5 ftes in security how those allocations are considered what the needs and how we determine the effectiveness in supporting you're safe loefrn environment at that level particularly around the enhancing supportive student learning climate so those were the two questions and then to underscore a point i'm glad we're having this conversation how in the way we allocate our resources we get more even more targeted than we have been around students that very specific needs and some ways a higher level of needs commissioner fewer
