          [5. DISCUSSION ITEM]
PROGRAMS. DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT. PRESIDENT CARREÓN. 
          DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT LEER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THE ANNUAL DISCUSSION OF THE FEDERAL PROGRAM ENTITLEMENTS. 
          AND SO FOR THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR, OUR FEDERAL PROGRAM PLANNING AMOUNT BUDGETS TOTALED $136
MILLION COMPARED TO $158 MILLION LAST YEAR. THESE ARE BASE PLANNING AMOUNTS AND THEY DO NOT INCLUDE ANY CARRY
FORWARD AMOUNTS FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. 
          WE RECEIVED THOSE ALLOCATIONS AS FAR AS THE CARRY FORWARD AMOUNTS AROUND THE MONTH OF
FEBRUARY EVERY YEAR. 
          AND SO YOU CAN SEE IN 24-25, OUR ACTUAL OVERALL TOTAL EXPENDITURES WERE $126.7 MILLION. 
          FOR 25-26 $158 MILLION. 26-27 OUR PLANNING AMOUNTS,
$136 MILLION. 
          THESE BASICALLY INCLUDE ALL OF OUR FEDERAL TITLE FUNDS. 
          TITLE I. TITLE II. TITLE III. TITLE III, IMMIGRANT TITLE IV,
IDEA B, AND OUR PERKINS FEDERAL FUNDS. 
          THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF SHOWING OUR TOTAL ENTITLEMENTS VIA FUNCTION. 
          AND SO YOU SEE THE LIST OF OUR FEDERAL FUNDING LISTED BY FUNCTION THE SAME AMOUNT $136
MILLION. 
          AND THEN I OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS. TRUSTEES ANY DISCUSSION? TRUSTEE MICCICHE. COULD YOU TELL US WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE DECREASE IN FUNDING? WHY THAT HAPPENED? SO BASICALLY THIS YEAR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GAVE US FLAT FUNDING. 
          AND EVERY YEAR, THE MAJORITY OF OUR FUNDING,
WE'VE USED A CARRY FORWARD AMOUNT. 
          AND FROM COVID, THAT CARRY FORWARD AMOUNT HAS DECREASED YEAR OVER YEAR. 
          AND SO THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE DECREASE IN FUNDING FOR THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR. 
          [00:05:01]
IN OTHER WORDS, OUR CARRY FORWARD AMOUNT HAS DECREASED YEAR OVER YEAR. 
          WHEN YOU LOOK AT FLAT FUNDING, THAT ALSO HAS AFFECTED US,
ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERY YEAR WE GIVE ADDITIONAL PAY RAISES. 
          AND SO THAT AFFECTS THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING WE RECEIVE YEAR OVER YEAR. 
          SO NEXT YEAR AT THIS TIME, WILL THERE BE ANY COVID FUNDING AT ALL INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET? THERE WILL NOT, NO. WE WILL HAVE EXHAUSTED THE CARRY FORWARD? THAT'S WELL WE WILL NOT HAVE EXHAUSTED THE CARRY FORWARD,
BUT EVERY YEAR IT DECREASES YEAR OVER YEAR. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE TURNER. YES. I'M CURIOUS ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE. 
          WHAT DO WE SPEND $14 MILLION ON COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR? SO ON THE COMMUNITY, $14 MILLION. WITH REGARDS TO COMMUNITY SERVICE I CAN GET YOU A
SPECIFIC LIST FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE. IT'S BASICALLY THAT WE HAVE A DEPARTMENT FOR THAT. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY OF THE MEMBERS IN CHARGE OF THAT,
BUT I CAN GET YOU A DETAILED LIST ON WHAT THAT IS. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE WEINBERG. ON THE 25-26 BUDGET NUMBER. 
          IS THAT GOING TO BE THE FINAL 25-26 NUMBER? WE JUST HAVEN'T CLOSED THE YEAR OUT YET? OR WILL THAT CHANGE? THAT NUMBER WILL CHANGE. 
          MORE THAN LIKELY IT'LL DECREASE BECAUSE THAT DOES INCLUDE OUR CARRY FORWARD AMOUNT,
THE AMOUNT THAT IS UNSPENT FROM THAT $158 MILLION TOTAL. 
          THAT IS WHAT WE CALL THE CARRY FORWARD THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE 26-27 BUDGET. 
          AND WHAT WAS THAT NUMBER? CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? SO. 
          OR DID YOU SAY IT? NO, I DIDN'T SAY IT. OKAY. 
          SO BASICALLY WHAT WE DID NOT SPEND IN 25-26 THAT'S CARRIED FORWARD INTO 26-27. 
          AND WE SEE THAT AMOUNT IT IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY MORE OR LESS. 
          OKAY. IF YOU DON'T MIND, IF YOU CAN GET THAT NUMBER TO ME LATER. 
          YES. THANK YOU. TRUSTEES FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. TRUSTEES WILL TURN TO AGENDA ITEM 6. 
          ADJOURNMENT. THE TIME IS 6:12 P.M. AND THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
