[B. Decision on Board of Education's FY2024 Budget, Ms. Deborah Judd, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, Mr. Eric Clark, Director of Budget, and Ms. Mary Edmunds, Budget Analyst]

[00:05:01]

EDUCATION'S FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET MRS JUDD AND MR CLARK AND MARY EDMONDS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I DON'T SEE HER. SHE MIGHT BE VIRTUALLY. JOINING US VIA PHONE IN A LITTLE BIT.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT MUELLER, VICE PRESIDENT SALL BOARD MEMBERS. DR BOLSON THIS EVENING. WE ARE HERE BEFORE YOU TO PRESENT THE SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDED REVISED FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET SO WE WILL. MOVE THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, AND THERE'LL BE TIME FOR QUESTIONS AT THE END. BUT IF YOU GET LOST IN WHAT WE'RE SAYING, PLEASE STOP US, SO WE DON'T LOSE ANYBODY. THERE WE GO. OKAY SO THE REVENUE FROM ALL OUR FUNDS REPRESENTED ABOVE THIS REPRESENTS ALL OF THE CHANGES INCORPORATED INTO THE FY 24 BUDGETS. SO THESE ARE THE UNRESTRICTED FUND THE RESTRICTED FUND FOOD SERVICE. AND CAPITAL BUDGETS. WE WILL BE REQUESTING SEPARATE VOTES ON THIS EVENING FROM YOU, SO THE CHANGES ARE REFLECTED IN THE UNRESTRICTED FUND, UM, AS PRESENTED IN FEBRUARY. THERE ARE ALSO CHANGES IN CAPITAL. RESTRICTED AS WELL.

FOOD SERVICE DID NOT CHANGE. YES THANK YOU SAID TO ASK QUESTIONS AS WE GO ALONG. WOULD THAT BE PREFERRED OR SHOULD I HOLD HIM TILL THE END? OKAY IF YOU'RE ALL RIGHT WITH IT, I'M FINE. THAT'S FINE. OKAY, SO, UM ON THIS. UM SHE, UM I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE CAPITAL BUDGET. UM.

AMOUNT THAT CAME FROM. I KNOW THAT WE GOT 43. 0.8 MILLION FROM LOCAL SO. I GUESS THE 87 IS WE GOT THE REMAINDER FROM STATE SO THAT THE TOTAL CAPITAL BUDGET IS LISTED THERE THAT IS STATE AND LOCAL. UM WE WILL GO THROUGH THE CAPITAL PORTION IN MORE DETAIL LATER IN THE PRESENTATION, SO WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK TO THE SLIDE, BUT THIS REALLY ISN'T VERY HIGH LEVEL SNAPSHOT. THAT'S NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU THOSE DETAILS. LET YOU CONTINUE. THAT'S OKAY. SO FOR THE OPERATING BUDGET, RECONCILIATION , WE DO HAVE A CHANGE FROM THE CURRENT YEAR LOCAL FUNDING TO THE FY 24, BRINGING OUR TOTAL LOCAL FUNDING TO $314.9 MILLION . WE DO HAVE A NOTE AT THE BOTTOM JUST TO REMIND YOU THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED LOCAL ASK WAS $343.9 MILLION. SO FOR FY 24, WE HAVE RECEIVED 314.9 MILLION THE STATE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET IS 245.8 MILLION. WE HAD A $33.2 MILLION CHANGE, BRINGING OUR TOTAL FY 24 STATE FUNDS TO $279.1 MILLION.

NO CHANGE FROM FEDERAL THERE'S A SMALL CHANGE IN OUR OTHER REVENUE TO $4.2 MILLION, AND THEN OUR FUND BALANCES WE'VE DISCUSSED WERE APPROPRIATING AN ADDITIONAL 10.2 MILLION FROM THIS YEAR TO BRING OUR TOTAL FUND BALANCE USAGE FOR THE FY 24 BUDGET TO $15 MILLION. THE TOTAL OF THOSE AMOUNTS OF 613,545,001 . OR ALMOST 6% CHANGE FROM FY 23. AND THIS IS THE REVENUE THAT WE WILL BE REQUESTING APPROVAL ON TO SUPPORT THE EXPENDITURES THIS EVENING. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS EACH OF THE CATEGORIES. THIS IS, UM SIMILAR SLIDE TO WHAT WE PRESENTED IN FEBRUARY, AND IT SHOWS THAT THE FIRST BLOCK IS THE PROPOSED BUDGET. NOW THE B O S PROPOSED COLUMN IS WHAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY AND THEN THE CHANGE IN EACH SECTION, SO WE'LL GO THROUGH THOSE IN MORE DETAIL, BUT THAT'S JUST A SUMMARY SHOWING. THE $613.5 MILLION TOTAL REDUCTION OF $17.4 MILLION. SO WHAT WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO DO ON THESE SLIDES IS SHOW THE ORIGINAL BOC PROPOSED BUDGET. ANY ADDITIONS TO THIS BUDGET FOR RECONCILIATION REDUCTIONS FROM THIS BUDGET, AND THEN THE FINAL SUPERINTENDENTS RECOMMENDATION TO YOU FOR APPROVAL THIS EVENING. SO I'M NOT PLANNING TO GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE LINE ITEM WILL PAUSE ON EACH SIDE SLIDE. I'LL HIGHLIGHT SOME PERTINENT DETAILS, BUT AGAIN, WE CAN TAKE QUESTIONS ON SPECIFIC ITEMS. SO THE WAGE

[00:10:02]

PACKAGE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE WAGE PACKAGE IS INTACT FROM WHAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD IN THE B O S PROPOSED BUDGET. THE REDUCTION ON THIS LINE ITEM IS SIMPLY TURN OVER. SO WE MET OUR WEIGH WAGE PACKAGE TO INCLUDE TURNOVER SAVINGS, AND WE ADJUSTED THAT NUMBER SLIGHTLY FOR THIS FINAL RECONCILIATION. THEN IN THE CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION AND ASSESSMENT LINE ITEMS, WE ARE PROPOSING ONE FTE REDUCTION. UM AND OTHER REDUCTIONS THAT ARE NOT PERSONNEL IN THE TOTAL OF $1.5 MILLION, SO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION FOR CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION AND ASSESSMENT IS THREE POSITIONS AT $400,000. HMM. I ASK THE QUESTIONS. THE SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION AND TUTORING. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT. YOU'RE DEDUCTING THAT RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE THAT WAS A PROPOSED INCREASE TO THE OPERATING BUDGET TO SUPPORT SUMMER SCHOOL. UM, WE ARE SUPPORTING SUMMER SCHOOL THIS CURRENT SUMMER. WITH FEDERAL FUNDS. BUT THAT WAS THAT WAS PUT INTO SUPPORT THIS SUMMER, BUT WE'RE SUPPLEMENTING THAT WITH THE FEDERAL FUNDS WERE PAYING FOR IT WITH THE FEDERAL FUNDS SO WE WILL PROBABLY COME BACK NEXT YEAR WITH A REQUEST TO INCREASE BY THE 500,000 FOR SUMMER SCHOOL. OKAY? AND THE TUTORING THAT WAS JUST CUT. THE OTHER DAY . WHAT? WHERE IS THAT CUT FROM? SO THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS BUDGET. THAT WAS AS A RESULT OF NOT HAVING ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDS REMAINING BECAUSE WE HAD TO PUSH POSITIONS BACK TO THE FEDERAL FUNDS TO SAVE THOSE POSITIONS. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS REDUCED. IT'S NOT REFLECTED REALLY AS PART OF THIS BUDGET BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A SPECIFIC LINE ITEM FOR IT. UM WE DO STILL HAVE THE TUTORING AVAILABLE TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS. SO THE SUMMER PROGRAM THAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN OFFERED IS NOT BEING OFFERED, BUT THE TUTORING IS AVAILABLE YEAR ROUND. AND WHAT IS THE COST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THOSE DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD? I WILL ASK IF HEATHER CULTURES ON THE LINE TO SPEAK TO THAT. YES HI, MR. THANK YOU. UM SO IT IS $27 PER HOUR FOR PHOEBE. TUTORING. UM, IT COSTS US. ON AVERAGE ABOUT $55 PER HOUR FOR HCPS, ACADEMIC TUTORING PROGRAMS, SO IT DOES GIVE US ABOUT 50% COST SAVINGS. MADAM CHAIR. IF I MAY ASK A GUESS WE'LL FOLLOW ON QUESTIONS.

SO, UM ON PAGE FIVE. THERE'S A 500. UM $1000. THANK YOU FOR ME REDUCTION. SO THAT IS GOING TO BE, UM, TAKEN FROM THE FROM THE INSTRUCTORS AT $55 AN HOUR THAT TEACHER INSTRUCTION $500,000 THAT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED BUDGET THAT WAS SENT OVER TO THE COUNTY IN FEBRUARY. THAT WAS ADDITIONAL $500,000 TO SUPPORT SUMMER SCHOOL. AND OR TUTORING. IT'S NOT A CUT TO A CURRENT BUDGET. IT'S A CUT TO THE REQUEST. SO THAT WAS AN ADDITIONAL $500,000 TO SUPPORT SUMMER SCHOOL. SO WOULD THAT BE FOR NEXT SUMMER? THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR THIS CURRENT SUMMER. WHICH WILL BE STARTING RIGHT? I GUESS THE FIRST WEEK IN JULY 2ND WEEK IN JULY FOR SUMMER SCHOOL THAT WE WILL HAVE SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR OUR STUDENTS. IT IS SUPPORTED BY THE, UM S R THREE. FEDERAL FUNDS. SO IS THE AESIR FREE GOING TO FULLY SATISFY THE 500 K. THAT WAS IT WILL SATISFY THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS YEAR. THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WE HAVE USED FEDERAL FUNDS FOR OUR SUMMER INSTRUCTION AND TUTORING COSTS. THIS WAS AN ATTEMPT TO PUT THAT MONEY IN THE OPERATING BUDGET. SO THAT WE HAD ADDITIONAL FUNDS IN THE OPERATING BUDGET TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FEDERAL FUNDS. IN ORDER TO BALANCE THIS BUDGET. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO KEEP THINGS LIKE THIS IN THE BUDGET. SO FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, WE DO HAVE FUNDS IN THE UM FEDERAL FUNDS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS FOR OUR SUMMER PROGRAMMING AND IN ORDER TO FUND THE TUTOR TUTORING NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS. I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SHORT. UM BECAUSE WHAT WE TAKE HIM $500,000 OUT. WE'RE USING AN S R GRANT AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG AS I UNDERSTAND THIS, WE'RE USING S R FUNDS TO SATISFY THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE NOW, BUT WE'RE REMOVING 500 K FROM THE FROM THE OPERATING BUDGET GOING . OKAY 500 K WAS ADDITIONAL

[00:15:01]

REQUEST. SO WE'VE NEVER HAD THAT 500. THIS WAS ADDITIONAL MONEY WE WERE REQUESTING TO PUT INTO THE BUDGET. JUST SATISFY SOME KIND OF NEED, OR ELSE IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PUT THERE. SO HELP ME HELP ME. FIGURE THIS OUT NEED WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE FEDERAL FUNDS AS THEY EXPIRE NEXT YEAR. THEY EXPIRE IN THE S R GRANT THAT WE'RE USING PRESENTLY TO FIND EVERY CHOIR, RIGHT? OKAY WOULD WE CAN COME FORWARD NEXT YEAR AND REQUEST SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION MONEY FOR FY 25. THAT WOULD REPLACE THOSE FUNDS ARE MONEY WAS WAS GRANT MONEY TO HELP? GET BACK TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE. FROM COVID . SO SEE ANTICIPATION IS THAT WILL BE THERE AND BE BACK TO A POSITION WHERE WE DON'T NEED AS MUCH TUTORING. MAYBE I GUESS WE CAN'T. WE DON'T BUY CRYSTAL BALL DOESN'T EVER WORK, SO I DON'T EXPECT YOURS TO EITHER. BUT, UM, YES. SO. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE SLIDE? FOR ED SERVICES. WE HAD AN ADDITIONAL COST. UM IT WAS A FINAL ADJUSTMENT TO THE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT STIPENDS. THAT WAS THE INCREASE FOR SERVICES AND THEN WE REDUCED 61 POSITIONS FOR A TOTAL OF $7 MILLION. THE FINAL RECOMMENDATION IS NINE POSITIONS AT $3.3 MILLION. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE 61 POSITIONS MANY OF THOSE ARE BEING MOVED.

IF THEY WERE CURRENTLY GRANT FUNDED. THIS YEAR, THEY'RE BEING MOVED BACK TO US OR THREE THE FEDERAL FUNDS FOR ANOTHER YEAR. NEW POSITIONS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED. THEY WILL NOT BE FUNDED THIS YEAR. SO IF IT WAS A NEW POSITION, AND WE'VE SO, FOR INSTANCE, ONLINE, 11 THE CLASSROOM TEACHERS 32 RECURRENTLY GRANT FUNDED THOSE WILL MOVE BACK THE 18 NEW REQUESTS OR NOT BEING FUNDED. WE'VE NOTED WHERE THINGS WERE FUNDED BY A GRANT, SO IT WOULD BE EASIER TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE GOING. SORRY. SORRY. SO WHEN OUR FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS WE INCREASED UTILITIES BY $160,000. OUR UTILITY COSTS CONTINUE TO RISE.

WE REDUCED FIVE FT E POSITIONS. THOSE WERE NEW POSITIONS. WE'VE ELIMINATED THEM FROM THE BUDGET FOR A TOTAL OF $1.8 MILLION. SO WE HAVE ONE FTE POSITION RECOMMENDED FOR A TOTAL OF ONE POINT. ALMOST $2 MILLION. 1.977 FAMILY AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. WE HAVE ONE REDUCTION OF ONE POSITION AND THE ONLY INCREASE THAT WE HAVE IN THAT LINE ITEM IS THE TRANSLATION SERVICES FOR $21,000. FISCAL SERVICES. WE HAVE A, UM ADDITION OR I'M SORRY REDUCTION OF THE PAYROLL COORDINATOR CURRENTLY FUNDED ON THE S A GRANT THIS YEAR, IT WILL REMAIN ON THE S R FUND FOR ANOTHER YEAR. SO THE REQUEST AND FISCAL SERVICES IS ONE POSITION FOR $93,000. AND HUMAN RESOURCES . WE REMOVED ONE POSITION FOR A TOTAL OF $88,000, WHICH WAS THE REQUESTS THAT THERE WILL BE NO REQUEST FOR HUMAN RESOURCES. OUR INSURANCE AND OTHER FIXED COSTS.

WHEN WE CREATE THE BUDGET. WE USE BEST ESTIMATES AT THAT TIME BASED ON WHAT MAY PROVIDES US THOSE ESTIMATES FOR THE FIRST TIME WERE SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER WHAT? UM THE ACTUAL INCREASES WERE SO WHEN THAT CAME IN, WE HAD ANOTHER $258,000. WE NEEDED TO FUND IN ORDER TO PAY FOR OUR INSURANCE. SO THAT, UM. AMOUNT FOR INSURANCE AND OTHER FIXED CHARGES. $342,000.

INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES. WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL COST AGAIN, IT SURROUNDING COST FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS. AND WE REDUCED SOME EQUIPMENT OF $52,000. SO THE TOTAL REQUEST FOR SCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES AS $532,000. IN THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE TWO FTE REDUCTIONS AS WELL AS SOME OTHER COSTS THAT ARE NOT PERSONNEL COSTS. FOR A TOTAL OF $443,000 MAKING THEIR REQUEST 1.7 MILLION. UM DEBORAH, IF I MAY ASK A QUESTION CONCERNING THE REDUCTION IN THE NETWORK SECURITY ENGINEER AND, UM THAT SOFTWARE DEVELOPER BUT PARTICULARLY THE SECURITY ENGINEER, UM. WHY WAS IF SOMEBODY COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON WHY THAT WAS BEING REDUCED AND WHETHER OR NOT THE I T

[00:20:02]

SUPPORT IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP UP. WITH THE WITH THE PATCHES THAT WILL BE REQUIRED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY USED BY HCPS. SO ANY POSITION THAT WAS NEW IN THIS BUDGET WAS ELIMINATED. THE RECOMMENDATION IS NOT TO HAVE ANY NEW POSITIONS IN THE BUDGET BECAUSE WE WERE NOT FULLY FUNDED, SO MR MOORE COULD SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO THAT . I'M SURE HE WOULD TELL YOU THAT. YOU KNOW THE POSITION IS NEEDED. LIKE ALL OF THE POSITIONS THAT WE HAD IN THERE, WE FELT THAT THEY WERE NEEDED. BUT WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SUCH DRASTIC CHANGES TO THE BUDGET WE HAD TO COME UP WITH PARAMETERS AND IT WAS TO REMOVE THE NEW POSITIONS. WELL, LET ME ASK THE FOLLOWING QUESTION WITH THE, UM THE 15 MILLION. THAT WAS THAT WAS BEING THAT IS BEING UM PUT IN OR I GUESS IT'S NOT AN ADDITIONAL 15 MILLION, BUT THE FUND BALANCE OF MALE UM IF WE'RE THAT IS BEING ALLOCATED, UM. TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHERE, UM WHAT'S WHAT'S BEING USED. WHAT? WHERE THE MONEY IS BEING PLACED . WE DON'T ALLOCATE BY LINE ITEM FOR THE FUNDING SOURCES. IN THAT WAY STATE MONEY WE HAVE TO DO FOR BLUEPRINT, BUT THAT 15 MILLION IS SIMPLY TO BALANCE THE BUDGET. SO IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE 15 MILLION IN THERE, WE WOULD BE NEGATIVE AND WE WOULD HAVE TO CUT IN ORDER TO PREVENT US FROM HAVING TO CUT FROM OUR BUDGET. WE ALLOCATED USE OF FUN BALANCE TO FILL ANY OF THOSE NEEDS SO YOU COULD LOOK AT IT AS PAYING FOR APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE WAGE PACKAGE. UM FOR ANY OF THE OTHER COSTS IN OUR BUDGET, BUT I DON'T KNOW. I'M TRYING TO ABSORB ALL THIS. BUT, UM WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS ON CUTTING ITEMS. SO WE MUST BE. DETERMINING WHERE WE'RE KEEPING ITEMS AS WELL. SO THE NEW REQUESTS THAT ARE ON THIS LIST THAT ARE BEING FUNDED IN THAT FINAL COLUMN. THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE DETERMINED TO KEEP WE'RE RECOMMENDING TO KEEP OKAY AND IT MAYBE I UNDERSTAND MORE WHEN WE GET ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. THE QUESTION REAL QUICK. WE TALKED LAST WEEK IN THE SMALL GROUPS ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE ATHLETIC TRAINERS. IS THAT REFLECTED ON HERE? THE ATHLETIC TRAINERS. UM THE INCREASE. FOR AN INITIAL AMOUNT IS REFLECTED IN HERE, SO I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION ON HOW WE CONSIDER THAT SERVICE INDEED, SYSTEM SO THAT'S NOT REFLECT. THE FULL AMOUNT IS NOT REFLECTED. WE HAD INITIALLY BUDGETED THE $184,030. SO WE LEFT THAT IN THERE. WE DID NOT INCREASE THAT AND OFFSET IT BY A REVENUE SOURCE. OKAY? WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. IF THERE'S QUESTIONS, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO ADDRESS THEM. YES, THANK YOU. DOES THE MIDDLE SCHOOL HAVE ATHLETIC TRAINERS THAT ATTEND FOR THEIR SPORTS SESSIONS THAT THEY HAVE I DON'T KNOW. MR O'BRIEN. ARE YOU ON THAT CAN ADDRESS THAT. I AM. UH GOOD EVENING. EVERYBODY MISSES BASLER IS AS WELL AT THIS TIME. WE DON'T HAVE TRAINERS FOR OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, THEN. THANK YOU. SO UM, IF I FIND MIGHT, UM SO LAST MEETING, I BELIEVE BELIEVE IT WAS LAST MEETING WE HIRED UM AND ADDITIONAL COUNSELOR FOR SETI PROGRAMS. BUT ON PAGE FIVE WE'RE CUTTING. UM PROGRAMS. AND I WAS TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN WE HIRED THAT ADDITIONAL COUNSELOR, IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN THAT PROGRAM. BUT ON PAGE FIVE, IT'S BEING CUT AND NOT INCREASED. SO WHICH NUMBER IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT PAGE FIVE OF THE BRIEFING SLIDE ON THE LUMBER NUMBER 81 ON THE OPERATING BUDGET REQUEST FOR MAGNET AND CTE NON FTE INCREASES, SO THOSE WERE THINGS LIKE SUPPLIES FOR THE CTE AND MAGNET PROGRAMS THAT THAT WAS NOT A POSITION THAT WAS NON FDA NUMBERED SUPPLIES, CONTRACTED SERVICES. THOSE TYPES OF THINGS LIKE PAPER AND PENCILS SYSTEM WOULD THAT'S THAT'S CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THIS BUDGET ANY OF OUR INFLATIONARY COSTS. YOU'LL SEE NON FTE EXPENSES BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE VERY SMALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS THAT YOU KNOW. WHEN ADDED UP. IT MIGHT BE 2030 $5100, DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS. WE'VE ELIMINATED THAT IN EACH OF THE AREAS. I GUESS I WAS MAKING AN ASSUMPTION BECAUSE IT'S A WHAT DO YOU SIGNIFICANT NUMBER IF THERE'S A POSITION WILL HAVE AFTER ASSOCIATED WITH GARAGE. OKAY, THANK YOU. QUESTIONS. FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY. WE REMOVED THREE FTS AND AT A TOTAL COST OF

[00:25:11]

$225,000. WE DID LEAVE THE NON FTE EXPENSES OF 615,000 THE COST . FOR OUR SUPPORT WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT THAT WE PAY IN. LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY WHEN WE ASKED THEM TO COME AND ATTEND EVENTS AT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, SO WE NEED TO INCREASE THAT LINE ITEM IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THOSE SO THAT LINE ITEM IN OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR IS OVER SPENT. SO THIS WILL GET US CLOSER, BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ENOUGH EVEN FOR NEXT YEAR. SPECIAL EDUCATION. I'M GOING TO SKIP TO THE NEXT PAGE BECAUSE THERE ARE TOTALS THERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE SEVERAL POSITIONS COMING BACK. WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK AND LOOK AT THESE INDIVIDUALLY. THERE ARE POSITIONS THAT ARE REMAINING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME THAT HAVE BEEN REMOVED. JUST HAVE A QUESTION. I THINK WE HAVE THIS. MAYBE IN AN AUDIT REPORT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IN THIS BRIEFING PACKAGE, BUT THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS THAT ARE PRESENTLY EXCEPT THAT PRESENTLY EXIST. THIS SHOWS REQUESTED INCREASES. THESE ARE JUST INCREASE POSITIONS AND THEN CHANGES TO THAT. YES SO DO WE HAVE ANY IN THIS PACKAGE? THE POSITIONS THAT EXIST E PAGE THAT SHOWS TOTAL, BUT IT'S NOT DELINEATED BY POSITION, BUT IT IS A SUMMARY OF POSITION. YES. WE'LL GET TO THAT. WE CAN WE, UM IS THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE WHERE WE CAN GET IT DELINEATED BY POSITIONS AS WELL AS BY SCHOOL. WE CAN DO THAT. OUR SYSTEM DOESN'T DO THAT EASILY. SO IT WOULD BE A REQUEST THAT WE YOU KNOW, COULD WORK ON AND GET TO YOU. I'D HAVE TO ASK MR RICHARDSON TO PULL SOMETHING, BUT WE MAY HAVE SOMETHING RELATIVELY RECENT THAT WE COULD SHARE. OKAY ALRIGHT. CERTAINLY AFTER THE BUDGET IS IMPLEMENTED , WILL HAVE THE TOTAL FTE POSITIONS FOR ANYTHING. ANY CHANGES THAT ARE IN HERE. SO YOU MAY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THEN, TO SEE THAT UM, BUT THE APPROVAL APPROVALS DUE BY JULY, 1ST. SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN ALSO SEE MRS ALVAREZ ONE PAGE FOUR. THERE'S A STARTING POSITION NUMBER 4995.7. AND THEN THE ADJUSTMENTS. THIS WOULD BE IN THE FAR LEFT HAND COLUMN ON PAGE FIVE. JUST BY 1045.1. AND THEN THAT TIES OUT TO WHAT MISS JUDD WAS SAYING THE POSITION SLIDE THAT WILL GET TO AFTER WE GET THROUGH THE OPERATING CHANGES. SO THERE'S. 5045 POSITIONS. THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION. YES, GOING 10TH OF A PERSON? YEAH YES. AND THAT WILL TIE OUT TO THE POSITION CHART THAT MISJUDGES TALKED ABOUT AFTER WE GET THROUGH THE CHANGES, OKAY THEN, AND I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT WHILE YOU WERE TALKING, SO APOLOGIZE. THAT NUMBER IS REFLECTIVE OF THE PRESENT POSITIONS. AND NOT DANGEROUS AND BUT THE REQUEST DOES IT INCLUDE THE REQUEST? 4009 95.7 DOES NOT. THE 5045.1 DOES. THANK YOU. SO FOR THE TOTAL SPECIAL EDUCATION CHANGES , WE HAD ONE ADDITIONAL INCREASE OF $230,000. WE HAD A TOTAL OF, I BELIEVE THAT'S 26.5. FT S THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO REDUCE FROM THE PROPOSED BUDGET OF 2.4 MILLION. WE ARE ASKING FOR 34.4 POSITIONS AT A TOTAL OF $3.1 MILLION. YES, MY QUESTION. IT SAYS INCREASED SALARY EXPENSES FOR EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT IF YOU DON'T MIND YES. SO, UM WE HAVE STUDENTS. SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS THAT ARE IN THE EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR ES Y. FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'VE BEEN RUNNING OVER BUDGET ON THOSE, UM THE PAPER OUR TEACHERS TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES FOR THE KIDS OVER THE SUMMER. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO GET THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE SHORED UP. BECAUSE BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, WE WERE ABLE TO ABSORB THAT WITHIN THE SPECIAL EDUCATION BUDGET, BUT WE'RE RUNNING MUCH CLOSER TO BUDGET NOW ACTUAL TO BUDGET SO THIS THIS WOULD INCREASE THAT LINE ITEM TO PAY. OUR SPECIAL EDUCATORS ARE PAIRS OR H IS FOR THAT. YES, Y PROGRAM. THANK YOU . ADDITIONAL SALARY. UM, LINES IN THE UM, BUDGET IF YOU GO THROUGH THERE, THERE'S YOU HAVE YOUR FTE LINES AND THEN YOU HAVE SUPPLEMENTAL SALARY LINES IN DIFFERENT AREAS FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. THOSE HAVE TO BE INCREASED AT SOME POINT FOR COLA'S AND MINIMUM WAGE REQUIREMENTS AND SO FORTH, AND QUITE OFTEN, WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO THAT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, SO AT SOME POINT WE HAVE TO CATCH UP. SO A LOT OF TIMES THERE'S SPACE WITHIN THE BUDGET THAT WE CAN ABSORB. YOU KNOW SMALL DISCREPANCIES, BUT AS YOU

[00:30:01]

IF YOU DON'T ATTEND TO IT REGULARLY, YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHERE WE HAVE TO ADDRESS IT. THANK YOU. STUDENT SERVICES. WE'RE REDUCING 8.4 POSITIONS FOR $855,000. WE ALSO HAVE TO LINE ITEM INCREASES, NOT FTSE 152 THAT WE'RE KEEPING. SOME OF THOSE POSITIONS DID TRANSFER BACK TO THE S A GRANT. SO. I'M SORRY. ONE ON PAGE 12, WHICH YOU JUST WENT OVER. YOU SAID YOU WERE KEEPING. BUT I DON'T SEE ANY KEEPS. I SEE ALL THIS IS THE OPERATING BUDGET. SO IF WE ARE MOVING SO, FOR INSTANCE, UM THE SCHOOL NURSE IS 2.4 REDUCTION. SO WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING HERE IS TO TAKE 2.4 POSITIONS OUT OF THE PROPOSED OPERATING BUDGET. AND TRANSFER BACK THAT BACK TO THE S A GRANT. SO. THE POSITIONS THAT WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ON THE S A GRANT REMOVING BACK THAT WOULD NOT BE REFLECTED HERE. IT'S A REDUCTION TO THE OPERATING BUDGET. BUT IT IS NOT REMEMBER WE ARE NOT ELIMINATING ANY POSITIONS SO PEOPLE ARE NOT LOSING POSITIONS WITH THIS BUDGET, RECONCILIATION . OKAY SO FOR THIS FOR THIS FUNDING SOURCE CHANGING FOR THIS PAGE, EVERYTHING ON THIS PAGE WILL BE PUT ON THE GRAND I'M JUST CONFIRMING THAT I BELIEVE SO. YES. YES. SWAN CREEK 23.4 POSITIONS FOR A TOTAL OF $2.3 MILLION. WE HAD PROPOSED TO MOVE THOSE TO THE OPERATING BUDGET. THOSE WILL BE MOVED TO A GRANT. AND IN TRANSPORTATION. WE'RE REMOVING THE REQUEST OF THE TWO FTS FOR A TOTAL OF 600,000, AND WE'RE LEAVING A TOTAL OF $3.2 MILLION AS AN INCREASE FOR OUR BUS CONTRACTORS. THAT'S THE INCREASE IN THEIR IN THEIR ANNUAL CONTRACT. JUST A QUESTION ABOUT THE ANSWER. THREE GRANTS AND JUST THE EXTRA GRANTS TO THOSE EXPIRE THIS YEAR NEXT YEAR NEXT YEAR. SO THEN WE HAVE ONE MORE YEAR SO WE COULD STILL POSSIBLY USE THOSE FUNDS FOR OUR BUDGET NEXT YEAR. OKAY I'M JUST I'M SORRY AT THE END OF THE END OF 24. SO WHEN I SAY NEXT YEAR I'M TALKING ABOUT 24. THIS WOULD BE THE LAST LAST YEAR 24. YES ALL OF THE THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT 2,000,312. $1000 NEXT YEAR TO FUND THESE PROGRAMS THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN OUR BUDGET. ACTUALLY THERE'S ABOUT $10 MILLION ON THE YES OR THREE GRANTS, SO MOST OF THAT IS POSITIONS SO WE WILL NEED TO FIND A HOME FOR $10 MILLION NEXT YEAR IF WE PLAN TO KEEP THOSE POSITIONS. ALMOST ALL OF THOSE POSITIONS ARE DIRECT STUDENT FACING POSITIONS. HOW MANY OF THESE POSITIONS ARE CURRENTLY EMPLOYEES OF HARPER COUNTY? ALL OF THEM, SO THEY'RE ALL CURRENTLY WORKING FOR HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THESE ARE NO NEW POSITIONS THAT WE'RE CREATING, ENROLLING INTO THOSE NOT CREATED ANY NEW POSITIONS WITH THIS BUDGET, SO THERE'S NOTHING NEW GOING INTO THESE GRANTS. THESE ARE POSITIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY HERE THIS YEAR AT SWAN CREEK. AND THE POSITIONS WILL BE MOVING TO. FOR THE GRAND , RIGHT. THANK YOU. CORRECT FOR ANOTHER YEAR. WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THEM INTO THE OPERATING BUDGET, BUT BECAUSE OF THE REDUCTIVE ME WERE REDUCED IN $17.4 MILLION FROM OUR ORIGINAL REQUEST, SO WE WOULD WE WOULD FUND THESE POSITIONS AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER ONES AS WE WENT THROUGH ON THE S OR THREE GRANT FOR ONE MORE YEAR. BUT THEN AGAIN, THAT'S MISJUDGE SAID THAT'S MORE WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR FY 25, BUT IT DOES GIVE US A YEAR. TO FIND SPOTS FOR THOSE POSITIONS. OR FIND FUNDING FOR THEM. THANK YOU. LET ME JUST SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE MONEY, UM AND WE'VE SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANTLY, UM, CUT. UM, AS IT INDICATES, ON PAGE SIX. OR MAYBE WE HAVE IT. UM. $7 MILLION AND I HAVEN'T KNOWN HERE THAT IT WAS MOVED. S ART. UM, BUT IS THAT CORRECT? IS THAT SO ON PAGE SEX. LET ME GO BACK TO THAT SO WE CAN REFER TO IT. THERE WERE 50 POSITION TEACHING POSITIONS THAT WERE REQUESTED IN THE BUDGET. 32 OF THOSE POSITIONS WERE GRANT FUNDED, MEANING THEY WERE ON ESSER IN THE CURRENT YEAR. AND BECAUSE WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE FUNDING, WE REQUESTED THOSE 32 POSITIONS WILL GO BACK. TO THE GRANT TO BE

[00:35:05]

PAID FOR SO THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THOSE POSITIONS THEY WILL BE FUNDED WITH THE GRANT MONEY IN FY 24 FOR ANOTHER YEAR. THERE WERE 18 NEW TEACHING REQUESTS IN THIS BUDGET. WE HAVE ELIMINATED THOSE. SO THE REDUCTION OF 50 IS REDUCING THE OPERATING BUDGET REQUEST. IT'S NOT ELIMINATING.

THERE WAS 32 POSITIONS WITH PEOPLE IN THEM. OKAY AND ON THIS PAGE SIX AT THERE'S 70 FTE POSITIONS, SO 10 ESOL TEACHERS AGAIN JUST FOR YOUR REFERENCE AS YOU GO THROUGH HERE WE'VE WE'VE NOTED WHERE THINGS WERE GRANT FUNDED. THE ESOL TEACHERS WERE NOT GRANT FUNDED. THEY WERE NEW REQUESTS. WE DEEM THAT WE NEEDED THE TENIS. ALL TEACHERS AND WE'VE REMOVED THOSE FROM THE BUDGET BECAUSE WE REMOVED NEW REQUESTS. AND THEN WE ALSO HAD THE DIRECTOR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. IT WAS A NEW REQUEST, AND WE'VE REMOVED THAT. WEST AS WELL. AND SO THE LOGIC AND PRIORITIZATION FOR FUNDING. UM THINGS STAY ON PAGE. 13 UM. AND I GUESS PAGE 12. TO UM PUT. SO WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FACTORS IN MAKING THE DECISION? UM TO KEEP . FOR MOVED TO S OR SO S ARE LIMITED TWO TYPES OF POSITIONS. NO AGAIN, MOST OF THE POSITIONS WERE MOVED BACK. REMAIN ON ESSER FOR ANOTHER YEAR, SO WHEN YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT. WHAT WE'RE CHOOSING TO FUND ON PAGE 12. I MEAN, THAT'S 150,000, AND THOSE AREN'T POSITIONS. SO I'M I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO. BEFORE I ON PAGE ON PAGE 12. THERE'S 8.4 POSITIONS. UH, OKAY. NURSES PSYCHOLOGISTS HELP THEM WELLNESS AND JUST LIKE THE TEACHERS AND THEN ON PAGE SIX, THERE'S YOU KNOW, UM, THE EAST, SO THAT'S NOT THAT THERE'S SO THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY TEACHERS FOR, UM, THERE IS A PROGRAM WHICH I FORGET WHAT IT STANDS FOR NEW TEACHERS, NEW TEACHERS, BUT WE PRESENTLY DO HAVE TEACHERS. AND DO WE HAVE THE DEMOGRAPHIC BECAUSE. FOR THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION. UM BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN A BIG UPTICK IN MY AREA FOR PERSONS OF. THAT NEED. WE DEFINITELY HAVE A NEED FOR MORE DIESEL TEACHERS AND WITH WITHOUT A DOUBT, AND WE HAVE A NEED FOR ALL OF THESE POSITIONS, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED TO DO AGAIN. WE REMOVED AS PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION. WE'RE REMOVING NEW POSITION REQUEST FROM THIS BUDGET. SO I GUESS I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. UM, JUST THE. THE PRIORITIZATION FOR CHOOSING WHICH POSITIONS WE MOVED THE S R BECAUSE HE ONES THAT REMAIN ON THE FEDERAL MONEY ARE CURRENTLY THERE THIS YEAR, SO IT WASN'T A CHOICE PER SE. WE JUST ARE LEAVING THEM THERE FOR ANOTHER YEAR. OKAY CURRENTLY FUNDED UNDER THE ESA GRANTS. THERE'S THE BENEFIT TO LEAVING THOSE POSITIONS ON ESSER IS THEY'VE BEEN APPROVED BY THE MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, SO WE'RE PRETTY SURE THEY'LL BE APPROVED FOR FY 25. OR I'M SORRY. HALFWAY 24. EXCUSE ME. I WAS A YEAR AHEAD. THAT'S THAT'S ONE REASON THE OTHER PRIORITY WAS TO HONOR THE WAGE PACKAGE THAT YOU APPROVED IN NOVEMBER AND THEN COMPETING PRIORITY. I DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM IN ORDER, AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR DOCTOR BOLSON, BUT ANYBODY THAT IS CURRENTLY WORKING FOR US CAN WORK FOR US IN THE SAME CAPACITY OR A VERY SIMILAR CAPACITY. NEXT YEAR. BIG PRIORITIES FOR ME WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH AND PRESENTLY ON PAYROLL AND OKAY, I GOT YOU GOT YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY SO OUR TOTAL REQUEST THE ORIGINAL PROPOSED WAS 183.7 POSITIONS OF $51.5 MILLION. THROUGH THE ADDITIONS THAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH. THAT WAS ANOTHER $673,000 NO F T. E S. WE HAVE MADE A RECOMMENDATION FOR REDUCTIONS OF 135.3 POSITIONS AGAIN. SOME OF THOSE ARE GOING BACK TO FEDERAL FUNDS FOR ANOTHER YEAR. THE REMAINING POSITIONS THAT ARE NOT MOVING TO THE FEDERAL FUNDS ARE SIMPLY NEW POSITIONS THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT NOT BE FUNDED FOR NEXT YEAR. THAT'S A TOTAL OF $18 MILLION, SO IT'S ANOTHER 48.4 POSITIONS. THAT WILL REMAIN IN THE FY 24 OPERATING BUDGET. FOR $34.2 MILLION. SO THE NEXT

[00:40:16]

BELIEVE IT'S FOUR SLIDES ARE FACE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS. THESE ARE REALLY KIND OF HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS, AND ALSO WE ASK OUR BUDGET MANAGERS IN THE SPRING IF THEY HAVE ANY, UM ANY ITEMS THAT THEY WANT TO MOVE BETWEEN THE LINES WITHIN THEIR BUDGET. WHEN WE GET TO THE LAST SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY MET 20 BASE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS ALWAYS NET 20. WE ASK IN THE FALL FOR ANY INCREASES, WHICH IS HOW WE DEVELOP THE SUPERINTENDENT'S PROPOSED BUDGET, WHICH THEN BECOMES THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED BUDGET. SO I DON'T CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO READ ALL THESE TO YOU. SOME OF THEM ARE VERY SMALL DOLLARS. I THINK THERE'S ONE IN HERE FOR $74.

IT'S JUST AN ADJUSTMENT BETWEEN LINE ITEMS WITHIN THE CURRENT BUDGET. IT'S NOT A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS JUST AGAIN. ADJUSTMENTS. UM. WITHIN A BUDGET MANAGERS LINE ITEMS, THEY MIGHT NEED MORE MONEY AND SUPPLIES LESS MONEY IN CONFERENCES, MORE MONEY AND MILEAGE, LESS MONEY IN CONTRACTED SERVICES, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS SO THE WAY WE HAVE THESE LISTED IF YOU LOOK AT THE LINE ITEM NUMBER, SO LINE 10 THOSE NET 209 11. THOSE TWO LINES NET TO ZERO. SO THE CHANGE WITHIN EACH CATEGORY LINE NUMBER NEXT TO ZERO. NUMBER 10 IS A GOOD ONE AS AN EXAMPLE. SO, MR MOORE NOTE KNOWS THAT HIS INTERNET IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN IT WAS IN THE FALL, SO HE WAS MOVING $25,000 FROM COMMUNICATIONS, WHICH IS REALLY OUR PHONE LINES TO INTERNET ACCESS FEES AND THE SAME THING WITH HARDWARE MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE . HE KNOWS THROUGH PREVIOUS SPENDING OR THIS YEAR SPENDING THAT HARDWARE MAINTENANCE IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT UNDER WHAT HE ORIGINALLY PROJECTED. SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE, SO HE'S MOVING 300,000 BETWEEN THOSE LINE ITEMS. AGAIN IT'S NOT AN INCREASE TO MR MOORE'S BUDGET. IT'S JUST AN ADJUSTMENT WITHIN HIS PARTICULAR LINE ITEMS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO THAT THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE BETWEEN STATE CATEGORIES . IF THEY'RE WITHIN STATE CATEGORIES, WE CAN DO ADJUSTMENTS DURING THE CURRENT YEAR. IF IT'S OUTSIDE OF STATE CATEGORIES WE NEED TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD. THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE. SO IT IT'S A WAY TO DO SOME SMALL DOLLAR ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN STATE CATEGORIES DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. AND AGAIN IF YOU LOOK AT THE ON THE LAST PAGE PAGE 17 , THERE WAS ONE FTE INCREASE THAT WAS BELIEVE IT WAS NUMBER TWO. THERE WAS A VACANT P P W UM POSITION AND IT WAS CONVERTED TO A STUDENT SERVICES, CLERICAL AND SCHOOL COUNSELOR. SO THE FUNDING AMOUNT WAS NEUTRAL, BUT BECAUSE WE WERE TAKING ONE FTE AND MOVING AT THE TWO FTS, IT WAS AN INCREASE IN FT. BUT NO DOLLARS DOLLARS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT CHANGE. IT'S ALVAREZ, AS YOU WERE ALLUDING TO. EARLIER AS MISS JUDD WAS ALLUDING TO HER, LIKE HERE'S THE POSITION SUMMARY AGAIN. THE OPERATING FROM FY 23 TO FY 24 GOES FROM THE 4009 95.7 TO 5045.1. THE RESTRICTED POSITIONS. THERE IS A REDUCTION THAT'S THAT'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON, UM WHEN WE PRESENTED THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED THE INCREASE IN THE TOTAL UNRESTRICTED, WAS 1 85 SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THERE WAS A BIGGER REDUCTION OF RESTRICTED BECAUSE THOSE POSITIONS ARE NOW THE ONES WE TALKED ABOUT STAYING ON. THE ESTER FUNDS ARE NOW STAYING IN RESTRICTED. SO THE GRAND TOTAL BETWEEN RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED AS AN INCREASE OF 21, FOOD AND NUTRITION. THEY STAY THE SAME AT TO 63.5. AND YOU CAN SEE WE DO HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN IN TERMS OF SOME TYPES OF JOB CODES. UM ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPERVISORY. THERE'S A 2.0 FD INCREASE PARAPROFESSIONALS 24 TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, 22.4 AND TECHNICAL OTHER ONE POINT FOR THE OPERATING BUDGET. SO IN IN THESE NUMBERS, UM ARE THE NUMBERS UP TOP. UM, OF. DO THEY INCLUDE ANY PORTION OF THE RESTRICTED POSITION? SPEAK THAT THIS IS BROKEN DOWN BY UNRESTRICTED, WHICH IS THE FIRST SECTION AND THEN RESTRICTED AND THEN FOOD SERVICE TEACHER COUNSELOR PSYCHOLOGISTS WOULD BE THE TOTAL WOULD BE TO 65 PLUS 29 67 FOR THE TOTAL NUMBER OF EMPLOYED BETWEEN RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED. YES. OKAY, UM AND , UM, CAN CAN I REQUEST THAT IT BE BROKEN DOWN AS I DID BEFORE? BY SCHOOL, AND, UM. AND ALSO IF

[00:45:06]

I COULD GET SOME DEMOGRAPHICS ON THE, UM, THAT. ONLY ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR UM, THE SCHOOL AS WELL. UM, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE HAD UM, ENROLLMENT. AND IF WE'VE LOOKED AT THE NEEDS FOR UM THE AH! HE SAW. WHAT IS IT? STANFORD'S OF ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. ENGLISH AS A SECOND, UM GET LANGUAGE ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES , ENGLISH SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES ARE USED KIND OF INTERCHANGEABLY. WE ALSO SAY L L AND E L ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS AND ENGLISH LEARNERS TO MAKE IT MORE CONFUSING, AND NONE OF THEM ARE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED. SO THAT THAT IS THE UNRESTRICTED. PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION. I'M GONNA ROLL RIGHT INTO RESTRICTED UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO ON. SO WE'VE BROKEN THE RESTRICTED DOWN INTO OUR FEDERAL GRANTS, STATE GRANTS AND MISCELLANEOUS OR OTHER GRANTS AND THE TOP PORTION OF THE FEDERAL GRANTS R CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUNDS. SO THESE GO BACK TO ACTUALLY FY 20. WE ACTUALLY SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF FUNDING IN FY 20, ALTHOUGH MOST DIDN'T COME BECOME AVAILABLE UNTIL 21 IN THE CURRENT YEAR. I'M SORRY IN FY 24 . WE ARE PROJECTING ONLY. ONE COVID RELIEF GRANT, AND THAT'S UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN. THE MARYLAND WORKS FOR $1 MILLION. WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBABLY ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, BUT IT WAS IT WAS IN TIME ENOUGH TO PUT IT IN AS A PROJECTION. UM I SAY 1 MILLION, IT COULD BE 1 MILLION. 5000 WE'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE. BUT AGAIN. THESE ARE THE BEST ESTIMATES WE HAVE AT THIS POINT.

THESE ARE OUR TRADITIONAL FEDERAL GRANTS. UM THESE ARE OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION OR TITLE ONE TITLE TO TITLE THREE ENTITLED FOUR. AND OUR PERKINS, UM THE INFANTS AND TODDLERS AND REGULAR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE A FEW SMALL MISCELLANEOUS FEDERAL GRANTS AND THEN THE ONE THAT'S NEW THIS YEAR THAT WE'RE PROJECTING THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IS THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EMERTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND WE'RE PROJECTING THAT WOULD BE $500,000 FOR FY 24. IF I MAY. I'M SORRY. YEAH. SO I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HOW THE GRANT FUNDING WORKS FOR, UM, YOU KNOW FOR THE FEDERAL GRANTS AND WHEN THINGS ARE DO, BUT THERE IS A $500,000 GRANT AVAILABLE FOR FIELD TRIPS . UM AND I DON'T KNOW IF AND I BELIEVE I SENT A MESSAGE. IF THAT'S IF I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE DEADLINES ARE THAT'S BEEN LOOKED AT BECAUSE UM, YOU KNOW, THE FIELD TRIPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. UM FOR THE STUDENTS, AND IF WE CAN GET GRANT MONEY TO KEEP THEM GOING, AND SO OBVIOUSLY THE RESTRICTED BUDGET FOR FY 24 WILL NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING THAT COMES UP THROUGH FY 24, SO WE STILL LOOK FOR GRANTS AND OBTAIN GRANTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, SO THOSE NUMBERS WOULD DIFFER FROM THE BUDGET AT THAT TIME AS THEY COME IN THE OPERATING OR THE UNRESTRICTED BUDGET AS MUCH MORE STATIC. WE MAY GET A GRANT TOMORROW THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT COULD COME FROM SHOPRITE. IT COULD COME FROM TARGET. IT COULD COME FROM ANY ANY VARIETY OF SOURCES. BUT THIS IS AGAIN THE BEST WE HAVE AT THIS MOMENT. SO THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL FEDERAL GRANTS THAT WERE PROJECTING FOR FY 24 TO $20,774,600. STATE GRANTS. UM.

MY SHEET BECAUSE THAT'S A LITTLE BIT LIGHT. THESE AGAIN ARE. PRETTY MUCH RECURRING GRANTS. WE GET FORMULA GRANTS FROM THE STATE FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. UM YOU CAN GO DOWN THROUGH THE ONES I WOULD PROBABLY DRAW THE MOST ATTENTION TO WOULD BE THE BLUEPRINT. SO WE HAVE THE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY GRANT FOR 1.2 MILLION OR CONCENTRATION OF POVERTY GRANT FOR, UH, I BELIEVE IT'S SIX OR SEVEN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN FY 24 ALMOST 4 MILLION THE SUPPLEMENT ON THE TRANSITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION GRANT OF 1.8. UM AND THEN THERE'S OTHER GRANTS. UM THROUGHOUT THEIR THAT STATE FUNDING, WHICH WOULD BRING US ALMOST TO 37,000,009 45 8 97 IN PROJECTIVE STRAIGHT STATE GRANTS AT THIS POINT AND THEN THE LAST SECTION. UM ARE THE MISCELLANEOUS AND LOCAL GRANTS WE PROJECT USUALLY ABOUT 86,500 IN MISCELLANEOUS OR OTHER GRANTS . THESE ARE GENERALLY SMALLER GRANTS ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 10,000 AS PART OF THE FUN BALANCE TRANSFER THAT YOU APPROVED IN THE COUNTY COUNCIL APPROVED WAS $1 MILLION FOR THE TALENT

[00:50:01]

PATHWAYS. GRANT AND THAT'S REFLECTED HERE FOR THE FY 24 BUDGET SO THAT WOULD TAKE OUR TOTAL RESTRICTED BUDGET TO 40,840. FOOD AND NUTRITION BUDGET HAS NO PROPOSED CHANGES.

UM THE SUMMER IS A BUSY TIME FOR FOOD NUTRITION. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF DIFFERENT, UM, PROGRAMMING OPTIONS AND SO FORTH FOR THE YEAR, BUT AS FAR AS THE VOLUME OF STUDENTS WERE SERVING . THAT REMAINS CONSISTENT AND IS REFLECTED IN THIS BUDGET. SO AGAIN, THE ACTUAL NUMBERS WILL ADJUST AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE YEAR, BUT THE BUDGET WILL REMAIN THE SAME FOR FY 24. THIS JUST SHOWS THE EXPENDITURE BREAKDOWN FOR THE FOOD NUTRITION, WHICH TIES OUT TO THE 19,203,003 68 AND PROJECTED REVENUE. MISS ALVAREZ, YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT THE CAPITAL BUDGET. SO THERE'S REALLY A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT COLUMNS THAT YOU WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO HEAR THIS FIRST. UM SLIDE SHOWS THE STATE AND LOCALLY FUNDED PROJECTS AND YOU'VE SEEN THESE BEFORE. THE AMOUNTS ARE VERY, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU HAD BEFORE. UM THE STATE HAS APPROVED 23,362,000.

THE COUNTY APPROVED $37,780,000 , AND THERE WAS NOTHING TRANSFERRED FROM HCPS OPERATING OR FUND BALANCE TO SUPPORT THOSE STATE AND LOCAL FUNDED PROJECTS . SO THAT TAKES THE TOTAL BETWEEN STATE AND COUNTY FOR THESE, UM STATE AND LOCAL FUNDED PROJECTS TO 61,142,000. THE NEXT TWO SLIDES ARE GOING TO SHOW REALLY LOCALLY LOCALLY FUNDED ONLY PROJECTS, SO THESE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STATE MATCH OR STATE REIMBURSEMENT. YOU CAN LOOK DOWN THE COUNTY HAS APPROVED IF YOU GO ALL THE WAY TO THE NECK BOTTOM OF THE NEXT SLIDE, THE COUNTY HAS APPROVED $6,082,000 IN LOCALLY ONLY FUNDED PROJECTS. THE 20,000,006 81 6 42. THAT IS WHAT YOU APPROVED AS A TRANSFER FROM OUR FUND BALANCE THAT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE JULY 1. TO FUND THE PROJECTS BETWEEN PAGE 25 AND 26 THAT ARE IN THE COLUMN TRANSFERRED FROM HCPS OPERATING . SO MY QUESTION IS AT THIS POINT. ARE WE ABLE TO MAKE ANY CHANGES BECAUSE, LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE HARTFORD GLENN PIERCE FOR $500,000, I KNOW THAT , UM WE HAD HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS , UM, ABOUT PAYING FOR ATHLETIC TRAINERS NEXT YEAR. SO INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR HARTFORD, GLENN FOR $500,000. UM COULD WE TRANSFER THAT MONEY AND THEN USE THAT TO PAY FOR THE ATHLETIC TRAINERS? TYPICALLY AT THIS POINT, YOU WOULDN'T BE TO DO THAT YOU WOULD BE TRANSFERRING IT BACK TO THE OPERATING BUDGET. SO WE'D BE CHANGING THE CAPITAL BUDGET THAT THE COUNTY HAS APPROVED. SO I DON'T THINK THAT THIS. THIS IS THE TIME TO DO THAT. UM IT'S VERY RARE TO TRANSFER SOMETHING FROM CAPITAL BACK TO OPERATING. IT CAN BE DONE, BUT I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A SEPARATE DISCUSSION ITEM BECAUSE IT IS TWO DIFFERENT BUCKETS OF MONEY, AND THERE'S PROBABLY MORE INVOLVED IN THE DISCUSSION WITH THE TRAINERS. THEN. SIMPLY MOVING THE 500 BACK SO UM CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT YOU ALL CAN DISCUSS THIS EVENING, BUT, UM NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD DO THIS EVENING BECAUSE YOU'D BE CHANGING THE COUNTY APPROVED. CAPITAL BUDGET.

IF I MAY. I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK. I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO GO BACK IN FROM THE COUNTY COUNCIL.

YES YES. UM JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. SO, UM. LET ME SEE IF I CAN, UM, ARTICULATE THIS QUESTION CORRECTLY, SO THE TOTAL AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTIES 43. EIGHT. MILLION. AND THEN TRANSFERRED FROM HCPS THAT UM, OPERATING IS 2020, MEL AND 20 A HALF 0.7. SO, UM. AND THAT WAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE OPERATING TO FUND CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT FUNDED BY THE COUNTY. UM AND. AND SOME THINGS THAT WERE NOT FUNDED BY THE COUNTY. UM. THE DECISION TO GO FORWARD WITH THEM. WAS MADE AND APPROVED. WHEN AND. UM SO LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE FIRST LINE ON 25 THE HIGH SCHOOL TICKET BIRTH UM AND. I SUSPECT SOME OF THESE ARE HAVEN'T EVEN

[00:55:09]

GONE TO ESTIMATE YET SO AND MAYBE SOMEBODY FROM FACILITIES WOULD HAVE WOULD NEED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. UM SO WE DON'T REALLY EVEN SINCE IT'S LIKE $100,000 MAY TAKING THE ASSUMPTION THAT IT'S AN ESTIMATE . WE DON'T REALLY KNOW THESE ARE ESTIMATES, SO WHEN THEY GO OUT TO BID, THE NUMBERS COULD COME IN. QUITE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S ON HERE, AND THAT DOES HAPPEN FROM TIME TO NIGHT TIME SO AS FAR AS A PROVING THAT THE BOARD APPROVED THESE ITEMS IN I DON'T REMEMBER THE DAY THAT WAS APRIL, I THINK BECAUSE WE WENT TO THE COUNTY AND I BELIEVE YOU APPROVE THEM IN APRIL. AND EACH OF THOSE LINE ITEMS. AND THEN WE WENT BEFORE. CAN WE SEND IT TO THE COUNTY AND THEN WE JUST PRESENTED TO THE COUNTY SEVERAL WEEKS AGO? UM SO TO UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE I'M YOU KNOW, NEW ON THE BOARD, AND SO WE APPROVED THINGS BEFORE WE GET THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, UM, IN IN AS FAR AS WHAT WE'RE GETTING FROM THE COUNTY OR GETTING FROM THE STATES, SO THINGS COME UP FOR APPROVAL. THROUGHOUT THE CALENDAR YEAR. UM . WELL, THESE ITEMS THAT WERE TRANSFERRED. WE DID KNOW WHAT THE COUNTY THE COUNTY IS PROPOSED. CAPITAL BUDGET, CORRECT. SO WE WERE PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT THE THAT THE COUNTY COUNCIL WAS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE CAPITAL BUDGET THAT WAS THAT WAS PRESENTED BY THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, AND THAT'S WHEN WE CAME TO YOU AS A BOARD AND SAID, THESE ARE THE LINE ITEMS OR THE ITEMS THAT WE WANT TO FIND WITH THE $20.7 MILLION TRANSFER. OKAY OKAY, SO THAT'S WHERE THE TRANSFER, I GUESS SO WHEN WHO APPROVES TRANSFER FROM OPERATING INTO CAPITAL THE BOARD THE BOARD AND SO WE APPROVED THAT TRANSFER OF $20 MILLION AND THEN IT GOES BEFORE THE COUNTY FOR THEIR APPROVAL AS WELL. SO I DIDN'T APPROVE THAT. SO I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, ALREADY. UM, BUT I GUESS THAT WAS APPROVED. SO YEAH. BUT, YOU KNOW TEACHERS, EITHER. SO WE'RE TOTAL CAPITAL PROJECTS, OR $87.9 MILLION FOR FY 24. SO THIS EVENING, THE SUPERINTENDENT IS RECOMMENDING, UM. THAT THE BOARD REVIEWED AND APPROVED THE FOLLOWING BUDGETS FOR 24, WITH THE AMENDMENTS PRESENTED THE UNRESTRICTED FUND , THE RESTRICTED FUND, THE FOOD AND NUTRITION FUND AND THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND. I ASK ONE MORE QUESTION. ONE PAGE 21. IT STATES. THE TALENT PATHWAYS FOR $1 MILLION THAT WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN THAT TRANSFER. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT TALENT PATHWAYS THAT $1 MILLION OF SPECIFICALLY FOR? UM ACTUALLY REFER TO DR PAULSON TO SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. YEAH, THAT WAS BECAUSE IN THIS YEAR'S PROPOSED CAPITAL BUDGET. TALENT PATHWAYS. THE WHOLE PROJECT WAS DESIGNED TO GO THROUGH THE POINT OF OPENING THE NEW HARTFORD ACADEMY AND THE MODEL SCHOOL AND, UM AND WE HAD BUDGETED A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. TO GO THROUGH. THE OPENING OF THE MODEL SCHOOL. IN THE CURRENT CAPITAL BUDGET THAT CAME FROM THE COUNTY. THE MODEL SCHOOL WAS PUSHED BACK BECAUSE THEY CHANGED THE SITES, SO WE WANTED TO ADD ONE WE DID THAT. WE HAD ONE YEAR TO THE TOTAL SO WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER YEAR TO GET THROUGH THE OPENING OF THAT SITE. SO THAT WAS JUST TO EXTEND THAT PROGRAM BY A YEAR. TO LINE UP WITH ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING. SO DR BOLSON IF I CAN, SO, IS THAT SO THAT IS CONNECTED . TO HARTFORD ACADEMY THAT 1 MILLION SOME IN SOME WAY OR IF IT'S CONNECTED TO THE YES, THE OPENING OF THAT BUILDING, BUT PARTICULARLY TALENT PATHWAYS. WAS TIED TO THE IDEA OF OPENING A MODEL SCHOOL. WHAT WE ORIGINALLY CALLING LABORATORY SCHOOL. THAT WOULD BE LOCATED AT THE HEART OF ACADEMY AND WHAT WAS THEN THE CAMPUS OF THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SO THE IDEA OF DESIGNING A MODEL SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR TRAINING TEACHERS AH! AND SO IT WAS MEANT TO BE DESIGNED AND OPERATING, AND WE WANTED TO GRANT WANTED TO FUNDS FOR THAT PROJECT TO GO THROUGH THE SCHOOL ACTUALLY BEING OPEN, SO WE HAD THE SUPPORT IN PLACE FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION OF THAT PROGRAM. OKAY, AND SO WITH THE LOSS OF THIS SITE. IS THIS 1 MILLION, AN INCREASE DUE

[01:00:08]

TO THAT LOSS OF THE SITE OR AN ANTICIPATED INCREASES. WE SET ASIDE A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ORIGINALLY FOR FIVE YEARS BECAUSE THE SCHOOL SOILS FROM 21 TO 2022 TO 26 BECAUSE THE SCHOOL WAS SUPPOSED TO OPEN THE FALL OF 26 SO AS TO TAKE US THROUGH THAT, ACTUALLY. 27 26 27 SCHOOL YEARS. SO WHEN THAT PROJECT HAVE PUSHED BACK BY A YEAR WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR OF FUNDING FOR THE TALENT PATHWAYS , WHICH WAS WHAT THAT $1 MILLION WAS TO GO TO THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR. SO THAT WAS A MILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAD ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED USING. YES. SO THIS IS JUST SOMETHING. IT'S NOT REALLY ALLOCATED SPECIFICALLY. FOR YEAH, I KNOW. YOU'RE SAYING IT. THIS ISN'T A MILLION DOLLARS. THIS IS A MILLION DOLLARS IN ADDITION TO THE 5 MILLION THAT YOU WERE SAYING WE SHOULD USE TO OPEN UP THE SCHOOL. WE SHOULD USE FOR THE TALENT PATHWAYS WORK, WHICH IS YES, CONNECTED TO THE OPENING OF SCHOOL, BUT IT'S NOT TO OPEN THE SCHOOL. IT'S TO ENSURE WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN TO UM. COMING INTO THE TEACHING PROFESSION COMING INTO THE OTHER POSITIONS WHERE WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE HIRING TALENT PATHWAYS IS MORE ABOUT CREATING PATHWAYS TO ENSURE WE HAVE PEOPLE TO HIRE. IN THE LABOR SHORTAGE.

WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THE MOST NOTABLE GROUP BEING TEACHERS. UM, BUT PART OF THE TALENT PATHWAYS. WORK WAS TO OPEN. WHAT WE CALL A MODEL SCHOOL. WHERE, WHERE? TRAINING TEACHERS IN THAT BUILDING. WE'RE DESIGNING. AND SO HAVING THAT PROGRAM UP AND RUNNING. WE WANTED TO BE SURE THAT WE WERE FUNDING THIS PROGRAM THROUGH THE OPENING OF THAT ACTUAL PROGRAM. SO DR PAULSON AND BERNANKE ASK IS THAT UM, $1 MILLION FOR CONTRACT TRAINERS OR IS THAT FOR PERSONNEL THAT ARE GOING TO COME INTO THE OPERATING BUDGET OR THAT'S FOR PLANNING. DESIGNING.

UM IT'S FOR EVERYTHING WE NEED YOU TO. THE IDEA WAS TO ESSENTIALLY SEED THAT PROGRAM AND GET IT STARTED AND THEN HOPEFULLY OVER TIME. IF THERE'S ANY POSITIONS IN THERE THAT WE CHOOSE WE NEED TO KEEP. UM, BUT IT'S BEEN A MIXTURE WE'VE HAD. CONSULTANTS WHO HAVE BEEN HIRED TO DIFFERENT COMPANIES THAT HAVE BEEN HIRED TO HELP WITH THE PLANNING. UM, OF THE WORK. IT'S BEEN. OTHER THINGS ABOUT ACTUALLY DESIGNING THE TALENT, PATHWAYS AND A LOT A LOT OF WORK GONE INTO THAT. BUT AGAIN TO SUSTAIN THE NUMBER OF HIRES. WE NEED TO WITH THE SHORTAGE WE'RE DEALING WITH. WE NEED TO BUILD SYSTEMS TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE. SO LET ME UNDERSTAND BECAUSE WE JUST HAD THE BRIEFING ON THE ON THE HARTFORD ACADEMY. UM, JUST RECENTLY, AND, UM IT APPEARED TO ME THAT MOST OF THE DESIGN WORK AND HAS HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR SITES AT THIS TIME. THIS ISN'T DESIGNED FOR THE SCHOOL. THAT'S THE PHYSICAL DESIGN THAT CAPITAL I MEAN. THAT'S ALL PART OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET. I'M TALKING ABOUT DESIGNING PROGRAMS. AND PUTTING SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE CONTINUITY OF EMPLOYEES TO HIRE FOR THESE SCHOOLS. SO I GUESS I'M NOT. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING IF THE SCHOOLS NOT EVEN BUILT YET WHY WE WOULD HAVE A $1 MILLION LINE ITEM TO FIND CONSULTANTS. IT'S NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PART IS CONNECTED TO THAT SCHOOL. BUT IT'S NOT JUST FOR THAT SCHOOL.

IT'S. AGAIN THIS IS SOMEWHAT SEPARATE FROM THIS BUDGET. WE'VE HAD PRESENTATIONS ON THIS IN THE PAST, BUT THE TALENT PATHWAYS WORK. IS BECAUSE THIS NATION IS EXPERIENCING EXTREME TEACHER SHORTAGE. OKAY THINK COLLEGES IN THIS STATE AND IN THIS COUNTRY ARE NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH TEACHERS. SO CREATING PROGRAMS TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE GROWING OUR OWN. SO THIS IS PART OF THE GROW YOUR OWN WORK WE'RE DOING OKAY, SO TO ENSURE WE'RE ABLE TO GROW OUR OWN TEACHERS HERE AND SO THERE ARE NUMBER OF THINGS GOING ON AROUND THAT. WE CAN BRING TO YOU AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF SHOW YOU THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE, AND THE THINGS THAT ARE STILL PLANNED TO BE DO BE DONE. BUT, UM YOU KNOW THAT WHOLE INITIATIVE IS DOING SURE.

ESSENTIALLY OUR ABILITY TO HIRE FOR THE POSITIONS THAT WE NEED TO RUN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. AND THOSE CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED. AND CAN WE DO WE HAVE A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT, LIKE A

[01:05:04]

LITTLE BIT MORE OF A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THIS MILLION DOLLARS UM CONSTITUTES IN TERMS OF THAT'S A MILLION DOLLARS TO BE SET ASIDE. AND WE ESSENTIALLY SET THIS ASIDE JUST AS WE INITIALLY SET ASIDE $5 MILLION WE HAD FUND BALANCE. WHEN WE ASKED THE BOARD TO INITIALLY APPROVED $5 MILLION TO BE SET ASIDE FOR THIS WILL BE $1 MILLION PER YEAR BECAUSE THIS IS NON RECURRING MONEY. UM SO THE BUDGET THIS YEAR'S BUDGET IS APPROXIMATELY. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE'VE HAD PEOPLE WORKING IN THIS HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY A MILLION DOLLARS. THROUGH THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR THAT WE'RE JUST FINISHING. UM. SO WE ORIGINALLY HAVE FOUR MORE YEARS PLANNED AND THE END OF THAT. INITIATIVE OF SETTING UP. TO ADDRESS THE TEACHER SHORTAGE AND OTHER EMPLOYEES SHORTAGES.

WAS SCHEDULED TO END AT THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION OF HARFORD ACADEMY AND THE CAMPUS CELL SITE. BECAUSE I GOT PUSHED BACK. REMAIN A DECISION. TO TAKE ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE BROUGHT TO THIS BOARD. AND IT WAS. YOU KNOW IT WAS THERE. IT WAS PART OF WHAT THAT APPROVED THE NIGHT WE APPROVED THE $20 MILLION IN FUND BALANCE TRANSFER TO ENSURE WE HAD ENOUGH TO CONTINUE THIS WORK AND TALENT PATHWAYS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. PRETTY SIMPLE, MORE QUESTIONS. SORRY SO WAS THIS IS THIS MILLION DOLLARS ALREADY SPENT AT THIS POINT OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD USED TO COVER THE COSTS OF THE TUTORING FOR THE KIDS OVER THE SUMMER.

THAT MONEY IS NOT SPENT. IT HAS BEEN SET ASIDE. FOR THE FUTURE, JUST AS WE'VE TRIED TO DO WITH I MEAN, WITH ALL THE FUN BALANCE, IT'S IT WAS A WAY TO DESIGNATE THE USE FOR THAT, SO WE DIDN'T LOSE IT. SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THIS WORK. BUT WE HAVE MONEY SET ASIDE FOR THE SUMMER. TUTORING PROGRAMS TALKING ABOUT THAT THEY JUST CANCELED THIS YEAR BECAUSE THEY CANCELED THE TUTORING OVER THE SUMMER IN PERSON. NOW WE HAVE FB FTV TUTORING, BUT WE DON'T HAVE IN PERSON TUTORING FOR THE STUDENTS THIS YEAR, SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING IF WE COULD USE THIS MILLION DOLLARS.

THAT'S NOT SPENT THAT SET ASIDE TO HELP THE KIDS GET CAUGHT UP WITH THE TUTORING IN PERSON, BECAUSE A LOT OF KIDS DON'T DO WELL WITH THE ONE LINE TUTORING. AGAIN, THE CHALLENGE WOULD BE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK. TO HAVE THAT TRANSFERRED BACK. SO FOR APPROVAL BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY APPROVED TO HAVE IT TRANSFERRED TO THE RESTRICTED BUDGET, SO TO MOVE IT TO THE OPERATING BUDGET AT THIS POINT IS NOT SOMETHING I THINK WE WANT TO ENTERTAIN TONIGHT TO DO BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK FOR APPROVAL. WHAT IS THAT, LIKE AN UNHEARD I MEAN IS THAT THAT'S NOT A PROCESS THAT WE COULD DO. I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK OF THE STUDENTS THAT YOU KNOW WOULD BE NOT ONLY THIS. I MEAN WE COULD USE IT TO PAY FOR THE TUTORING AND WE COULD ALSO USE TO USE IT TO PAY FOR THE ATHLETIC TRAINERS. BECAUSE WE HAVE. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. BRUCE THIS IS CAROL. BRUCE I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN IN MIXING APPLES AND ORANGES AND CAPITAL AND I MEAN, RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED. THERE MAY BE WAYS TO FUND SOME OF THESE OTHER INITIATIVES THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY AS A BOARD NOW I KNOW THAT INDIVIDUALLY. SOME SOME PEOPLE VOTED NO. BUT AS A BOARD WE HAVE ALREADY APPROVED THOSE THINGS AS FAR AS WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH HARTFORD ACADEMY. I THINK IT IS. ADMIRABLE THAT WE'RE FORWARD THINKING THAT WE DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE BUILDING IS UP, AND THEN WE START TO LOOK FOR TRAINING QUALIFIED TEACHERS BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO AND BE ON THE GROUND AND HAVING EFFECTIVE STAFF TO GO IN AND TO OPERATE. SO UM, THAT'S JUST MY TAKE ON THIS. THANK YOU. SO LET ME AS AS I UNDERSTAND IT WHEN LIKE WHEN WE APPROVE SOMETHING, WHICH IS THE BUDGET AND THE BUDGET TRANSFER THAT WE APPROVED FOR THE FUN TRANSFER BECAUSE WE ARE NOW LOOKING AT THESE ARE THESE ARE FY 2020 FOR BUDGET AMOUNTS. UM AND IT SEEMS, I THINK THE CONCERN THAT THAT, UM THAT MISS HAN BRINGS UP IS THAT WE BUDGETED TO DO THINGS IN FY 2023 THAT WE'RE NOW AND THAT WERE APPROVED AND THAT NOW WE'RE CUTTING THEM. UM TO MAKE UP FOR THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE MONEY IN 2024. SO WHY ARE WE CUTTING PROGRAMS THAT WERE APPROVED IN 2023? THAT. WERE APPROVED. SO IT'S A IT'S A LITTLE LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE CONCERNING, UM, YOU KNOW FOR SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS WHEN WE LEARN THAT SOMETHING

[01:10:02]

THAT WAS APPROVED WAS CUT. UM THAT SEEMS TO BE VERY NEEDED, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PROFICIENCY SCORES. UM OUR CHILDREN ARE STRUGGLING WITH THEIR ACADEMICS, UM, WITHOUT SOME KIND OF SOLUTION COMING FORWARD TO LOOK AT HOW WE'RE GOING TO IMPROVE PROFICIENCY IF WE HAD A PROGRAM IN PLACE FOR, YOU KNOW, TUTORS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE, VOLUNTEERS. YOU KNOW SOMETHING TO YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE STUDENTS ARE NOT LEFT WITH EDUCATIONAL DEFICITS. SO I'LL LET MS CULTURE ADDRESS THE DECISION PROCESS THAT WENT INTO DO THAT. I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THE WAY THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS. WE'RE NOT CUTTING A PROGRAM THAT WAS APPROVED. THESE WERE FEDERAL FUNDS THAT WE HAD AND THAT WE'RE PAYING FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES.

SO. WE WANTED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THE OPERATING BUDGET. WE WERE NOT FUNDED, SO THAT WAS REDUCED. I'M SORRY. I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT , BUT I'M REFERRING TO THE TO THE BUDGET THAT WAS APPROVED IN FY 2023, WHICH WAS STILL BUT THAT THAT WAS THE RESTRICTED MONEY. IT WAS NOT IN THE OPERATING BUDGET, SO WE HAVE NOT CUT SOMETHING FROM THE OPERATING BUDGET THAT WE WERE DOING. THESE WERE FEDERAL FUNDS THAT WE WERE USING FOR THAT PROGRAM. SO MR CULTURE CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND WHAT THE DECISION PROCESS WAS FOR THIS SUMMER'S, UM, WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING SURE. GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. SO WE WERE ABLE TO ADD AN ACADEMIC TUTORING PROGRAM DURING COVID BECAUSE OF THAT FEDERAL GRANT, SO WE WERE ABLE TO STAND UP THAT PROGRAM AND OFFER THAT TO FAMILIES FREE OF CHARGE. IT IS ALL VIRTUAL TUTORING. THAT STUDENTS COULD SIGN UP FOR AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE OUR OWN TEACHERS.

KIND OF BASED ON NEEDS. UM WE WERE ABLE TO THEN CONTRACT WITH PHOEBE TUTOR AND SO WE ARE ALSO USING THE GRANT FUNDS THAT SAME GRANT TO COVER THE COST OF FB TUTOR AND WE'VE PRESENTED TO YOU BEFORE ABOUT FTV TUTOR. THERE ARE A LOT OF BENEFITS TO USING THAT PLATFORM. IT TRACKS STUDENT DATA FOR THEIR TEACHERS. WE CAN CONNECT IT DIRECTLY TO STANDARDS ASSESSED BY THINGS LIKE M CAP.

UM IT ALSO ALLOWED US TO STAND UP AND SAY, T PREP PROGRAM THAT STUDENTS COULD ACT INTO AGAIN FREE OF CHARGE. AND THEN THAT GRANT ALSO COVERS OUR SUMMER PROGRAMMING. SO AS THE GREATEST EXPIRING WE JUST LOOKED AT HOW MONEY FUNDS WE HAD LEFT. WE HAD TO LOOK AT OUR STUDENT DATA AND WHAT PROGRAMS FOR THE MOST SUPPORTIVE OF, YOU KNOW, INCREASED ENHANCED STUDENT OUTCOMES. AND SO THE FSB TUTOR IN THE SUMMER PROGRAMMING IS REALLY WHAT WE SAW. WAS MOVING THE NEEDLE FOR SOME OF OUR STUDENTS ALLOWING FOR CREDIT RECOVERY AT NO COST ALLOWING FOR ELEMENTARY SUMMER SCHOOL AT NO COST MIDDLE SCHOOL SUMMER SCHOOL AT NO COST, SO THAT'S HOW THAT DECISION WAS MADE THERE. JUST THERE WASN'T ENOUGH IN THAT GRANT TO CONTINUE EVERYTHING.

CAN WE ALSO BE CLEAR? THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HEATHER SHARED. THE ACADEMIC TUTORING THAT WE WERE. WE WERE PAYING OUR TEACHERS TO DO THAT. THAT WAS ALL VIRTUAL. ALSO. SO AND SO IT'S NOT A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHETHER TUTORING WORKS WELL IN PERSON OR NOT. WE WERE DOING THAT VIRTUALLY ALSO, BUT THAT WAS ALSO HE ALSO THEN HAVE THE ISSUE. INTERNALLY OF MANAGING THAT OF RECRUITING TUTORS. AND THE REASON WE WENT TO F T V IN THE FIRST PLACE. WAS WE WHAT WE DID HAVE A NUMBER OF TEACHERS WHO ENGAGED IN THE VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION OF TUTORING. WE NEVER HAD ENOUGH. UH UM. AND SO WE HIRED FTV. TO ENSURE THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO SERVE MORE STUDENTS. SO WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO LOOKING AT THE PROGRAM THAT ALLOWED US TO SERVE THE MOST STUDENTS AND AGAIN REMEMBER, WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO VIRTUAL PLATFORMS. THIS ISN'T YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE THE ONES THAT WAS DONE WITH OUR TEACHERS WAS IN PERSON FOR THE STUDENTS.

AND SO THE MOTHER IS STILL A DIFFERENCE. UH UM. IT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR MAKING THAT CHANGE. SO DOCTOR BOLSON OR MISS QUESTIONER COULD COULD YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VIRTUAL, UM HCPS. TEACHER LED TUTORING. I UNDERSTAND THE F A D. WE GOTTA BRIEFING ON THAT, BUT, UM I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WAS LIVE. SO YOU KNOW, UM, I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING AWARE OF THAT. BUT SO HOW DOES THE VIRTUAL HCPS TEACHER UM, OPERATE LIKE IS IT LIKE, ZOOM OR LIKE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IF YOU COULD JUST EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. I'M SURE I CAN JUMP IN ON THAT, UM, SO FOR ACADEMIC TUTORING THAT WAS ONLY OFFERED IN THE SUMMERTIME AND FAMILIES. WE ADVERTISED IT ON HCPS AND

[01:15:06]

THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA THROUGH THE COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE, AND INTERESTED FAMILIES COULD FILL OUT FORMS AND REQUEST SPECIFIC, UM, CONTENT. BASED TUTORING SO THEY MIGHT WANT TO SAY TUTORING FROM MATHEMATICS AND FOURTH GRADE OR, UM, YOU KNOW, READING IN A CERTAIN GRADE LEVEL, AND SO WHAT WE WOULD DO BEHIND THE SCENES AS WE HAVE FOLKS TRYING TO MATCH OUR FOLKS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING INSTITUTIONS OVER THE SUMMER WITH FAMILIES IN THAT SAME CONTENT AREA. AND THEN THAT TUTOR IN THAT FAMILY WOULD CONNECT JUST FOR THAT FINITE PERIOD OF TIME IN THE SUMMER AND FIND TIMES THAT COULD WORK FROM USUALLY FOR THOSE FAMILIES AND THEN THOSE WERE SET UP AS MICROSOFT'S TEAMS MEETINGS BETWEEN THE FAMILY AND THE HCPS TEACHER. KUSHNER DOES THE SCHOOL DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S PHOEBE. OR HCPS, LEAD TEACHER INSTRUCTION. YOU MEAN FOR SUMMER TUTORING REQUEST COMES IN FROM A FAMILY THAT THEY WANT TO DURING.

UM WHO DETERMINES WHETHER OR NOT IT'S PHOEBE OR HCPS LEAD? TEACHER TUTORING. WE ADVERTISE THEM IN THE FAMILIES WITH SELF SELECTED, THE FAMILIES WOULD FILL OUT A FORM SAYING THEY SPECIFICALLY WE'RE ASKING FOR OUR ACADEMIC OR ACADEMIC TUTORING. UM WELL, THEY WOULD PUT IN A REQUEST BECAUSE THE CAVEAT WAS ALWAYS. UM IF WE HAD SOMEWHAT IN THAT AREA OR IF WE HAD SOMEONE WHO COULD ACCOMMODATE THEIR SCHEDULE. SO THE DEFAULT WOULD BE THE HCPS TEACHER LED TUTORING OVER THE F E V. UM AND SO THAT'S. I NOT UNDERSTANDING IT. WHERE? BECAUSE THERE'S TWO PATHS WHERE YOU CAN EITHER DO FTV OR YOU CAN DO HCPS TEACHER LED BIRTH VIRTUAL THIS SUMMER. SO WHO DETERMINES THAT WHEN THEY PUT THE REQUEST IN, DO THEY SAY, I WANT TO TV OR I WANT HCPS. DOES THE FAMILY DETERMINED THAT OR DOES THE SCHOOL UM, ADMINISTRATOR? YOUR STAFF, UM, DETERMINE WHICH WHICH TYPE OF TUTORING THEY GET. WE ADVERTISE BOTH KINDS OF TUTORING. AND SO IT'S A SEPARATE THING. SO IF A FAMILY OR DECIDES THAT THE ACADEMIC TUTORING THEY LIKE THAT , FOR YOU KNOW THEIR THEIR OWN REASONING, THEY WOULD FILL OUT THAT PARTICULAR REQUEST FOR OUR ACADEMIC TUTORING. UM, SUV WE ADVERTISED OUT THAT IS AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES TO DIRECTLY INTERACT WITH IT DIRECTLY GO THROUGH FTV. WE WOULD NOT THERE WOULD NOT NEED TO BE THAT MIDDLE STEP FOR THEM TO REQUEST IS ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY CONTENT OR GRADE LEVEL. VERY VERSATILE AND THE HOURS SO THERE'S NO FORM FOR F E D. THERE'S A FORM FOR HCPS, ACADEMIC TUTORING, BUT NO FORM FOR EVERY DAY. WANTED ME. ITS EXACT WELL, YES, EXACTLY. I PHOEBE OFFERS THREE TIMES THEY OFFER ON DEMAND HOMEWORK HELP THEY OFFER RECURRING SCHEDULED SESSIONS FAMILY COULD REACH OUT THROUGH OUR, UM, INFORMATION TO REQUEST RECURRING SESSIONS FOR THEIR STUDENT IN A CONTENT AREA OR THERE IS THE USE OF IT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY FOR STUDENTS WHO NEED THAT EXTRA BOOST. AND IT'S INCORPORATED INTO THEIR SCHOOL DAY. SO DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR THE F B? V OR DOES THE STUDENT HAVE LIKE A TAB THAT ANYBODY CAN PULL UP OR DO THEY HAVE TO BE PRE APPROVED TO USE F E V. SUV IS OPEN FOR ANY STUDENT WHO MAKES A REQUEST FOR THE ACADEMICS. BUT WILL THEY JUST NEED THEY JUST NEED TO SCHEDULE IT WITH F U V. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M MEANING BY REQUEST. THEY DON'T THERE'S NO APPROVAL PROCESS IF THEY WANT IT. THEY GET IT, WHICH AS DR WILSON, OKAY, AND WHEN THEY WHEN THEY WANT, UM IF THEY IF THEY DID NOT IF THEY WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH TV, AND THEY WANTED TO HAVE THE OTHER OPTION THAT WAS AVAILABLE. THAT'S GOING TO I GUESS NOT BE AVAILABLE IN THE FUTURE. THEY WOULD, UM THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO FILL OUT A SEPARATE FORM. POOR HCP TEACHER LED INSTRUCTION TUTORING INSTRUCTION. THEY WOULD NEED TO FILL OUT THE FORMS TO LET US KNOW WHAT CONTENT AREA AND GRADE LEVELS SO THAT WE COULD THEN MATCH THEM WITH SOMEONE FROM HCPS, WHO IS INTERESTED IN TUTORING, AND THIS WAS JUST A SUMMER PROGRAM AND COULD ALSO THEN WORK WITHIN THEIR SCHEDULE. AND WE ARE NO LONGER GOING TO HAVE THAT COMING STARTING THIS SUMMER. YES. AND HOW MANY STUDENTS DID WE HAVE REQUESTS?

[01:20:06]

THAT TYPE OF TUTORING INSTRUCTION. UM I CAN I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU. I DON'T HAVE THAT. I DO KNOW THAT LAST SUMMER, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MEET THE DEMAND, WHICH IS DOCTOR , BOLSON STATED WAS WHY WE WENT TO PHOEBE BECAUSE THEY COULD HANDLE PRETTY MUCH ANY REQUEST.

THERE'S NOT BEEN A REQUEST THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE AS OPPOSED TO OUR TWO DID. WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE ENOUGH IN THAT AREA. OR SOME PARTICULAR CONTENT OR A SCHEDULING ISSUE WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE FAMILIES. SO EXCUSE ME, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE'RE OFF TRACK. I FEEL LIKE THE REASON FOR THE MEETING TONIGHT WAS TO PROVE THE BUDGET AND I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ASKING SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT TUTORING THAT COULD BE BETTER ADDRESSED INDIVIDUALLY.

AM I CORRECT? UM SORRY ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS, BUT THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE NUMBERS THAT ARE IN THE BUDGET AND DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SUPPORT OF THE STUDENTS. TO ME. IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY SMALL PORTION OF A VERY LARGE BUDGET AND CONSIDERABLE PROBLEM WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT LOW PROFICIENCY SCORES IN THE COUNTY, SO IT'S A VERY SIGNIFICANT DISCUSSION.

OKAY, SO MS ALVAREZ WITH REGARD TO THE TUTORING WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE TUTORING BEFORE.

WITH F U V. WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO ADDRESS EVERY STUDENT WHO HAS A NEED. WITH F U V. WE ALSO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO TRACK THEIR PROGRESS IN THAT WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE WITH THE ONE WHERE WE'RE HIRING THE STAFF. THE STAFF WAS I MEAN, WHILE I PREFER TO BE PAYING OUR STAFF WHERE WE CAN I MEAN THOSE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY OUR STAFF. WE WANT THEM TO HAVE THE BENEFIT FROM THAT. THE TRADE OFF IS A PROGRAM THAT. BUT KING OF KARMA CAN ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE WHO ASKS, AS OPPOSED TO ONE THAT COULDN'T ONE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO MANAGE THE LOGISTICS OF IDENTIFYING STAFF. CONNECTING TO THEM, PAYING THEM ALL THOSE PIECES. SO NOT ONLY IS THE COST OF JUST RUNNING THE PROGRAM FOR WHAT WE'RE PAYING STAFF. DOUBLE. WHAT IT COSTS US TO SERVICE STUDENT UNDER FTV. THE COST TO THE SYSTEM IN TERMS OF ALL THAT. AND SO. WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ISN'T A REDUCTION. THAT WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE ACADEMIC IMPACT ON STUDENTS BECAUSE, AS WE SAID THEY'RE BOTH VIRTUAL, SO THAT DIFFERENCE ISN'T SIGNIFICANT. BUT THE FACT THAT FTV ALLOWS US NOT JUST BECAUSE. ALLOWS US TO TRACK THE STUDENT'S PERFORMANCE IN THERE, SO ESSENTIALLY, IT'S MORE EFFECTIVE. IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO TRACK WHETHER STUDENTS ARE MAKING THE ACADEMIC PROGRESS THEY NEED TO MAKE. AND IT'S LESS EXPENSIVE. ALL OF THINGS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT IN THE BUDGET WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO REDUCE YOUR NEEDS BY $30 MILLION, SO I'M NOT TAKING IT.

WE'RE NOT SUGGESTING TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM STUDENTS IN STUDENT PERFORMANCE. WE THINK ACTUALLY, THIS IS A PATH THAT WILL SERVE STUDENTS BETTER AND I AM AND I'M ALL FOR TECHNOLOGY AND USING USING TECHNOLOGY WHERE IT MAKES SENSE. THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS, UM, IS. WELL THERE'S AT LEAST TWO CONCERNS. UM, ONE IS THE AND I'LL JUST UM SO THE F T V PROGRAM. UM, IS, UM.

CONTRACT ID PROGRAM WITH THE F E B COMPANY, AND THEY PROVIDE THE TUTORING AND THEY WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO STAY IN THE TUTORING. UM, BUSINESS. AND THERE ARE ALSO GRADING THEM THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE GOOD INSTRUCTION FOR THE STUDENTS. UM, I. I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE BIAS IN WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT THE ABILITY TO IMPROVE THE STUDENTS FOR EFFICIENCY. UM, YOU KNOW, ALSO, I GUESS, UM. CONCERNED ABOUT TAKING THE HUMAN OUT OF THE LOOP WHERE THERE IS, UM THERE COULD BE FEEDBACK TO HCPS. THAT WOULD BE A BENEFIT OF WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, HAVING DIFFICULTIES AND STRUGGLING, UM SO I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE SOMEONE FROM HCPS. UM MONITORING, UM, THE DATA. TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, SO DO YOU NEED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BUDGET? DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO MAKE AN
