In late June, a proposed budget is brought to the Governing Board and then in 10 days or more, the Governing Board is asked to adopt the budget. In December and/or May, the district has the option to revise the budget. A budget revision is required in December if the district’s budget is more than $100,000 different from the Arizona Department of Education projections. The three major funds are Maintenance & Operations, Unrestricted Capital, and Soft Capital. Maintenance & Operation- primarily payroll, department and campus operating budgets

Allocation: $ 2,164,825 Carryover: $ 5,683,837 Total: $ 7,848,662

Last year carryover was capped; $1.9 million was recuperated for this year. Soft Capital- Campus budgets, buses, student computers.

Allocation: $2,451,655 Legislative reduction: ($2,027,598) Net Allocation: $ 424,057 Carryover: $ 352,818 Total: $ 776,875

Decrease from the budget adopted in July was $39,000. Mrs. Brooks inquired on the instructional improvement fund. Mrs. Cordery addressed inquiry. Discussion was held.

Proposition 301 Reclassification Future Personnel Needs

May 1, 2013 Page 7 of 8

It was recommended the Governing Board approve the job description for Project Manager. The Project Manager position is needed in order to implement online and blended learning in the district. Much like the position of construction manager, the position is confined in time to the work of a large project that requires more attention and management than can feasibly be added to other job descriptions. The job description is broad enough to address other types of implementation projects so that the job description will meet the needs of the district in the future as well. A motion to approve the Job Description – Project Manager was made by Mr. Gwynn and seconded by Mrs. Hoffmann. Mrs. Munk stated her concern with the education requirement not requesting a bachelor’s degree and/or any combination of education and training that would equal that education level. Mrs. Badone stated that it could be changed to read what the Governing Board would prefer. A motion to amend the Education requirement to state “Bachelor’s Degree or a combination of education and specific training in project management” was made by Mrs. Munk and seconded by Mr. Townsend. The motions passed unanimously. It was recommended that the Governing Board approve the complete Employee Compensation packet for school year 2013-2014, including placement salary schedules, supplemental and substitute salary schedules, as well as benefits and fringe benefits. Goals:

1. Support student achievement through support of collaboration

2. “Grow our own” in order to insure commitment and quality, and maximize our investment in our staff

3. Attract high quality employees in all positions 4. Increase predictability of budgets 5. Increase equity and fairness of compensation systems

A motion to approve the 2013-2014 Employee Compensation Packet was made by Mrs. Brooks and seconded by Mrs. Munk. The motion passed unanimously It was recommended the Governing Board approve the payment equivalent to the amount of Proposition 101 monies to those certificated employees who are not eligible for actual Proposition 101 monies from Senate Bill 1292 of 1986. Counselors 30 Librarians 5 Nurses 4 Psychologists 5 A motion to approve the Prop 101 Equivalent Monies was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Mrs. Brooks. The motion passed unanimously It was recommended that the Governing Board select a delegate and alternate delegate for the ASBA Delegate Assembly. Mr. Townsend nominated Mrs. Brooks as delegate and Mrs. Hoffmann as alternate to the ASBA Delegate. Mrs. Munk seconded the nomination.

Frank Nunez, was shared during the meeting. Mr. Nunez thanked Mr. Travis Mitchell, Arizona Western College, for his assistance with the video project. Mr. Sheldahl stated that in November of 2005, voters in the Yuma Union High School District overwhelmingly approved a bond election for YUHSD in the amount of $70,000,000. The bond projects were completed in the fall of 2012, resulting in extensive capital improvements across the district to expand capacity and bring existing facilities up to appropriate standards. There were improvements at every comprehensive school site, with the renovation of Kofa High School being the largest overall project. While the district leveraged expertise from local and outside firms, YUHSD insured that the work was accomplished for the most part by local contractors and local workers. The 2005 bond not only improved the schools, it stimulated the local economy during a difficult time. A video was presented which briefly outlined the improvements resulting from the bond election. YUHSD recognizes and appreciates the voters who reside within the Yuma Union High School District, as well as our many partners from both the public and private sector, for their outstanding commitment to excellence in the areas of design and construction of schools. As a result of these collaborative partnerships, our students at every campus benefit from first-class learning environments. Mr. Dave Hylland, Facilities Management Director, thanked all the contractors who worked on the bond projects.

Mr. Nunez, APIP Director, stated that the Advanced Placement Incentive Program (APIP) grant for Yuma Union High School District #70 covered the project period October 1, 2008 to September 28, 2012. The project was developed with partner districts Yuma Elementary School District One, Crane Elementary School District, and Somerton Elementary School District in order to prepare students, particularly low income students, for high expectations and rigorous courses such as AP. To facilitate this objective, the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) college readiness system was put in place at all comprehensive high schools in the Yuma Union High School District, along with all middle schools/junior highs in the three grant partner districts. The greatest indicator of success of the APIP grant is the college-going culture it has supported for our students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community members at large. All stakeholders are more confident today than they have ever been that EVERY student can and should be prepared to succeed in rigorous and relevant learning experiences. The best way to help students gain access and support in rigorous courses, such as AP, is to help teachers learn how best to support students. AVID not only affected AVID elective class students but it also helped to shape and grow a college-going culture across disciplines, including career and technical education disciplines, within our schools and as a whole district. APIP was a foundational grant that informed the Ready Now Yuma Initiative. As current and incoming students progress through the Cambridge curriculum, they will now have a greater amount of AP courses to choose from due to the success of the four districts with the resources of the APIP grant. Mr. Nunez shared a powerpoint presentation with the audience. The Yuma Union High School students had the opportunity to participate in the Arizona Youth Town Hall this school year. Arizona Youth Town Hall not only allows for students to be educated about and participate in a Town Hall process, but to take the “voices” and outcomes from the youth to the Arizona Town Hall. There were over a 100 students who attended. The topic was on “Civic Leadership”. Through the leadership of Southwest Arizona Futures Forum, including Ms. Shelley Mellon and Dr. Linda Elliott-Nelson, high school students continue to be able to work in high-level conversations about topics that affect our community, state and nation. Ms. Mellon and Dr. Elliott-Nelson presented some highlights of the year. Mr. Rigo Orta, YHS Student Body President, shared his experience as a representative at the Arizona Youth Town Hall. A video was shared with the audience. Mrs. Thompson introduced Ms. Jill Lehman, EverFi representative, and Mr. John Marino, 1st Bank Yuma. Everfi is an educational technology platform which supports the instruction, assessment and certification of students in Financial Literacy, Student Loan Management and Digital Literacy and Responsibility.
