Student election for Board and the ceramics teacher, Ellen Unt won.
All the class presidents are posting activities for their class.
There is a talent show on line.
A survey was administered to the students about their academic experiences; it includes pre and post-quarantine. About 600 students responded. It is usually done during school so in the past there have been a better turnout.
Some seniors are having issues.

 

Reeve Chudd
The off-campus online teaching is going well and he is appreciative. Thoughts go out to the seniors.
Sara Margiotta echoed those thoughts.


 

Nothing to report.

The faculty is disappointed that there is no contract. Many faculty echo what Ruth Mills said at the Special Board meeting. That being said, the teachers do appreciate the accolades for their efforts at online learning.

Report stands as submitted.
Accoloades to teachers for their efforts.

The report stands as submitted.

Mike Rawson

He believes that Pali could raise much more; he believes there is a lot of potential to raise more.


 

CBO Materials are included in the packet.
Listened to a meeting on the Governor's revised budget.
There will be deferrals for this year and for next; these deferrals could amount to $3 million so the paycheck protection program will be able to cover the paychecks until the amounts are received from the state.
There are still questions about forgiveness of the payroll protection loan. Pali will seek legal advice about whether it is forgivable once the Treasury Department answers some questions.
SBA would make the determination as to whether it is forgivable.
The monies from the payroll protection funding are currently in the Cathay bank account
The funds will go into the county treasury (LACOE) but electronic transfers cannot be made into that account so that is why they are temporarily in Cathay.

The report stands as submitted.
Stakeholders are anxious to know about instruction for the next school year. LAUSD will be part of the decision about when and how to re-open because LAUSD is the owner of the campus.
Charters are asking to be part of the conversation.
Curriculum Council is meeting on Friday will look at some possibilities for options depending on what rules are in place by state and local governments and LAUSD.
Registration has happened online.
Regular activities are happening virtually.
Faculty and staff have worked hard to make things operate smoothly.
Annual Performance Review - things will take place virtually. Expecting a report toward the end of July.

Most of the things discussed are agendized later in this meeting.
Their annual lengthy meeting is scheduled.

Paula Anderson and Reeve Chudd update:
Thanks to everyone who reached out to get people to run.
We have one person for each seat with the exception of Reeve's non-traveling parent seat, for which there are 2 people. So we will have to hold an election for that seat.
The election could be run through Schoology.

Monica Iannessa and Pam Magee discussed the policies.
The thought is that this is a good time given that we are in an eLearning environment.
Realize that the school has some growth to do with regard to some of Pali's policies. 
Pali wants to make sure that policies are fair and equitable and that there is nothing punitive.
It's important that stakeholders feel that policies are transparent.
Pali wants to analyze the impact of course grade policies and other policies on grades for the semester.
This semester can be instructive to assist with going forward and modifying policies to make sure that student needs are addressed, especially with regard to virtual learning.
The more consistency we have the fairer we will be.
Looking forward to getting feedback from all of the stakeholders.
 

See materials for school-wide goal updates, which contain the specifics of the budget.
Largely unchanged from previous reports.
Stephen Klima inquired about what the transportation budget is for next year; if we are learning virtually then that expense would not be the same; for now, the transportation costs are anticipated but that could change; as could revenue numbers for cafeteria and civic center permit/pool fees.
Budget & Finance Committee will meet to discuss these things with the goal of being able to dynamically change numbers depending on the circumstances: budget reductions; extra costs and reduced costs based on whether there is virtual learning.
The May revised includes a reduction in funding.
The budget will likely be based on having students in class because that comes with higher costs so it's the most fiscally responsible way to address the budget.
There are many variables that are up in the air both on the revenue and expense side depending on how the school is operated in the fall.
 

Start date for next year has been agreed upon.
The start date for 2nd semester is incorrect; it is actually January 11th.

Nothing to add from the previousl discussion.

Budget materials include the current budget numbers. Largely unchanged from previous budget reports.
Greg Wood went through the materials

Adjustments will be made based upon what funding we receive.
July is a huge revenue month for the school so that will need to be adjusted depending on when the school can re-open.
Opening of our Civic Center permit is an LAUSD decision because it is their property and they are concerned about liability.
A question about savings from substitutes will be addressed when Greg Wood talks about salaries.
Savings in substitutes for this semester is about $75,000.
Benefit areas; there will be some reduced costs but those costs will have to be made up in future years.
2% health benefits increases;
Total salaries and benefits are down approximately $170,00
Issues with cafeteria being open given possible social distancing guidelines that may be in place; so food delivery to students may look different; parents may be concerned as well.
Insurance rates may go up quite high
Consulting costs may be lower if eLearning
Transportation budge is also affected; athletics and other activities buses were canceled as were the school buses for students and special education students
Budgeting worst-case scenario on transportation.
The timing of cash deferrals isn't factored in.
Stand to lose $500,000.
Budget & Finance Committee will be working on this.
Board direction was asked for. There was a discussion about this, including that the Board cannot give direction without a vote.
Rick Steil mentioned that technology should be a priority. A discussion ensued that individual comments would be considered but they would not be considered as an official directive from the Board.
June 9th is the budget board meeting.
June 23rd would allow for a discussion at the June 9th meeting and a re-calibration of the budget if necessary to then be discussed at the June 23rd meeting.
 

Don presented.
One of the heaters is broken.
Money allocated for this is monies that have to be used on maintenance. It can't be used for other purposes.
The more expensive system gives us long term savings.
The pool is important not only for a source of revenue but also for the community.
It's important for our swim teams, water polo teams, and for PE classes and teaching students to swim.
The heater is for the large competition pool now. The other heater will have to be replaced but this is more important.
 

Contract with the materials.
Greg asked: Does the contract cover that there not be an increase if there is no minimum wage increase?
Contigent approval that if minimum wage law is appealed then the cost increase should not be passed on.

Nothing additional to report.
