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 and
3:01 am
commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and others brought up homeless students and sro's i'll add to that newcomer students for the chinese education center and the m e.c. two schools and many of our other new comers was we see think about how to put equity in action how to make sure we are reflecting that as targeted way as possible i'm not just saying all you know low income students are the same that will really getting to understand where our needs for the students and schools and reflect it into in the m t ss and how we allocate central office and in the way the student form i hope to continue this conversation that was heard and again, i wanted to thank you for all your work it
3:02 am
reflexes the spirit of what the board asked for in terms of the priorities and especially last but not least superintendent for your leadership on this and we appreciate it thank you. >> commissioner norton. >> yes. i think pretty much everyone has touched on what i want to say i wanted to thank the staff for really good work i'm overwhelmed by the paper but i appreciate the questions that i asked and the questions that the people asked they're great answers so o to those questions in the document i just appreciate the efforts and i hope we can make it more efficient and less last minute next year and thank you for agreeing to my incisions my suggestions to the el cap
3:03 am
flafrtd. >> thank you to the team i want to thank my colleagues on the board we've dedicated tuesday night in june that meet with the presentation on the staff those meetings i want to thank everyone for the process i think we're ready for a vote we'll vote on those individually. >> can i have i have one more question about the el cap i want to thank everyone for the work on the el cap but the lcff collaborative working group last thursday we talked about this i wanted to report a little bit about that we had a number of people including that said they think that no el cap should be more than 10 paydays packages ours is 74 pages and 72 i want
3:04 am
to say that somebody that was at the meeting was a county board member a small county butte community the el cap is hundred and 47 pages i said how can i have a hundred and 47 pages last week that was 67 pages i think that we - that's what we're doing on the collaborative group talking about whether we want this to allergy congratulate into a compliance so i wanted to sound that causationy note and next year where we can't look at the document through that lens
3:05 am
and say how much do we want it to be - and i actually want to say that the narrative at the beginning like the narrative at the beginning of the budget says what the states says an el cap should have those are our goals and this is how we're going to target the kids this is how to measure so but i want to say that we - i think we should be cautious and should be glad we fall between the 10 page account and beulah county this is we're getting to the point we're reading this this is a version of reading this and different version every week so thank you and - >> commissioner fewer. >> so i want to say one thing
3:06 am
on the summary of expand turns on the page that you know, i see a lot of - and compared to the last couple of years it smells the funds are transferred in larger amounts i don't understand so i think that can you explain to me why the code of offers of family engagement when i a long time it i say wow. our eliminating one hundred percent of the budget so i feel like some of the things like your mind is 46 percent of allocation for last year what is going on with that it is minus $329,000.40 from one department i mean i've used this in the past to see how departments have
3:07 am
grown or shrunk if our switching up the numbers then it is hard to compare from last year to this year if so it really gone or did it get picked up from smoifrl do you know what i mean if we see those things eliminated i wanted to point out the baby zone last year lead superintendent zone bay area was allocating at $793 plus this year it is hundred percent taken away so i'm assuming that we have investing that same amount in a bay area zone is it somewhere else when we pull out that amount of money from a specific
3:08 am
area it is going to have some sort of impact so i'm assuming we have picked up the $793,000 somewhere else but like to be reassured and where that is going and another thing that i've nos is this year is nice to see in a way the r the recommended site budget locations but i think what is interesting around this we're now seeing before i think some of the members of my colleagues have noticed there were drops in enrollment i mean big drops hundred and 75 students from one school i'm seeing a little bit more of it being stable but there are some populations and this is probably not your purview but i'm seeing
3:09 am
population from our middle schools losing presidio like 61 students which for a school that is considerable; right? even an lefrment we're to shift thirty students from a kindergarten class to sort of luke those budgets i can for the site based on how much money for the special ed and concentrations grants that is nice to see buses i'm wondering about the enrollment projections and do we get final enrollment for the projectionings matt haney we know exactly how many students at that school right now it in flex that is what is anticipated but the first day of school it is completely different so i'm concerned about the budget being cut so much like one school
3:10 am
hundred and 75 students that means rapidly getting rid of teachers you you know you're not able to hire that are going to the school but got a based on the formula so the stabilizations of the students is important so as a followup i'd like to see after and i guess that's in the fall with the allocations the real numbers of enrollment so the money that goes to those schools and their budgets are looking at like i know as principles are hiring staff in the summary and hundred and 75 students cuts into the staff and teachers, etc. >> superintendent. >> yes. thank you dr. murase and commissioner fewer so good suggestions a general note we work hard to hold schools
3:11 am
harmless until a 10 day count and students are stabilizing we try very, very hard not to disruptive the students it is a risk this happens with school enrollment but i'll proposes to the board those kinds of update can happen and budget committee meetings how it is working out this is a good suggestion we work on that for the agenda for the committee meetings. >> we need to move on so are roll call vote and other plan. >> ms. casco. >> ms. fewer mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell ms. norton mr. walton ms. wynns dr. murase. >> 7 i's. >> thank you very much. next
