[00:00:03] GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO THIS CONTINUATION OF OUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2024-25 SCHOOL YEAR DISTRICT [1. CONVENE] BUDGET. WE WILL NOW BE OPEN FOR ANY PUBLIC COMMENT AND DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE HAVE ANY, SO WE WILL JUST [3. PUBLIC COMMENT] WAIT. AND HOLLY, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SHARE ABOUT THE BUDGET, WE'D BE HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, WE DO HAVE TO WAIT THE 15 MINUTES UNTIL 6:00 WHICH IS WHEN WE WILL COMPLETE THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING AND THEN MOVE ON TO OUR SECOND SPECIAL MEETING TO ACT ON THE BUDGET PROPOSAL. SO, HOLLY, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE? NO. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR HOLLY AT THIS POINT? I MEAN, WE'VE TALKED YEAH, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT A LOT, BUT DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET? I KNOW LIKE I SAID, WE'VE WE'VE WENT OVER IT A LOT. BUT IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS. BUT NOW WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO ASK AND WE CAN GO FROM THERE. MARK DID CLARIFY FOR ME THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE WE CAN ADJOURN THE THE HEARING EARLIER THAN THE 15 MINUTE MARK. BUT WE'LL GIVE A FEW MINUTES IN CASE ANYONE IS COMING TO GIVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT. ME, I DIDN'T BRING ANYTHING BECAUSE I WASN'T PLANNING ON ASKING ANY QUESTIONS SINCE BUT THERE WAS THE $20,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE. WHAT IS THAT? HOW IS IT ADMINISTERED? WHAT'S IT SET ASIDE FOR? IT'S COMING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND, I ASSUME. YEAH, THAT'S OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. IT'S THERE ARE FOUR ACCOUNTS THAT MAKE UP THAT BALANCE THAT ARE THAT THE ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES THAT ARE IN THAT. AND WHAT THEY WERE THERE'S THREE OF THEM ARE AN ORGANIZATION CALLED INVEST-ED THAT DONATES TO THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS. AND IT'S TO SUPPORT STUDENTS STUDENTS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR TO SUPPORT IF FAMILIES ARE IN FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND CAN'T PAY, LIKE FOR AN ASB FEE OR SOMETHING. SO THEY THAT FUND PAYS FOR THOSE THINGS. THERE'S ALSO A PORTION THAT IS THE MOUNT BAKER FOUNDATION DID A LARGE DONATION DURING THE PANDEMIC TO HELP STUDENTS ALSO. SO THAT $20,000 IS JUST THOSE KIND OF POTS OF MONEY MAKE UP THAT BALANCE, THOUGH ITS DONATIONS. [00:05:23] ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, AND GIVEN THAT THERE'S. SO THE ASB FUND. I SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR THE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A CONSIDERABLE INCREASE. ASB MONEY MOSTLY COMES FROM FROM SPORTS ACTIVITIES AND STUFF, DOESN'T IT? OR WHERE DOES THE FUNDING MOSTLY COME FROM FOR ASB? MOSTLY FROM FUNDRAISERS PUT ON BY THE STUDENTS. THEY FUNDRAISE TO SUPPORT ACTIVITIES. SO THAT'S AND THEY DO THEIR OWN BUDGET. EACH OF THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS THE STUDENTS MEET AS A STUDENT COUNCIL AND THEY PUT TOGETHER THEIR BUDGETS. SO THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND I THINK IT'S JUST DUE TO INCREASED ACTIVITIES AND DIFFERENT FUNDRAISING IDEAS THAT THEY HAVE. AND SO YEAH, SO THAT'S WHY IT WENT UP. OKAY. SO THAT'S ANTICIPATED REVENUE THOUGH, RIGHT? EXACTLY. YEAH. ALL OF IT'S ANTICIPATED. YEAH SO. JUST WONDERING HOW THEY ESTIMATE, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE THAT JUDGMENT FOR THE FOR THE BUDGET. I THINK THEY SET A GOAL AND THEY DON'T NECESSARILY ALWAYS MEET THAT GOAL, BUT THEY YOU KNOW, HAVE AN EXPECTATION OF WHAT THEY WANT TO BRING IN. SO THAT'S HOW THAT'S HOW THEY WRITE THEIR BUDGETS. AND I THINK THEY, THEY WORK WITH THE DIFFERENT CLUBS BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT ASB CLUBS AND THEY EACH KIND OF SET, YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW WHAT THEIR GOALS ARE FOR THEIR DIFFERENT FUNDRAISERS. AND SO THAT'S HOW THEY SET THEIR BUDGET. OKAY, WELL, IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, AND SEEING THAT WE HAVE NO ONE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN OUR PUBLIC HEARING. AND THEN WE WILL RECONVENE IN ABOUT SEVEN MINUTES TO HAVE OUR SPECIAL MEETING TO ACT ON THE BUDGET PROPOSAL. SO THANK YOU EVERYONE. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
