I.
Committee Updates
Mr. Wright asked for Committee Updates:
Ms. Malconian noted that the Investment Policy Statement that had been updated in May of 2021 was now posted on the website ( includes the OPEB and Gen. Investment Policy updates)
J.
Board Chair Report
Mr. Wright invited board members to provide updates:
Ms. Malconian responded to Mr. Perez's statement, stating that there were many things that Mr. Perez had stated that were not true, including the following:
* Mr. Perez' labeling parents in our community as "not stakeholders" is completely not true; stated that she had been voted onto the ECRA board by the parents;
* Mr. Perez's labeling parents who have concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine as "non-vaxxers" is also untrue; Ms. Malconian note that she had heard from many parents whose older children were vaccinated but they were worried about their younger children; noted that she was thrilled by LAUSD Board's decision to delay implementation of mandated vaccine rather than displace 35,000 children for whom they did not have a place and that bringing the charter schools into the decision process was also a smart move and it took the grave responsibility off of the ECRA Board;
Mr. Kofal noted that the Travel Committee had recently approved transportation (for Academic Decathlon team to Arizona).
Ms. Ramirez asked if she can be made a member of the Finance Committee. Mr. Wright and Mr. Hussey discussed and noted that the item will be made a part of the January meeting agenda.
Ms. Ibach noted that when Mr. Perez spoke he kept saying that the board listened to a minority of parents, but it was also the fact that we didn't have an alternative plan for students in place and now that LAUSD is taking this out of our hands, we will have time to put something in place; I think Mr. Perez forgot about that huge piece.
Ms. Lopez-Vargas noted that she had no updates to add at this time.
Mr. Wright thanked the UTLA leadership and the teachers for their dedication; Mr. Wright thanked maintenance workers, main office staff, admissions office staff, attendance office staff, assistant principals' office, counseling office, student support office, security staff, and health office staff, and Nurse Peggy.

*Cash Analysis - accounts money markets; OPEB, etc.; reviewed balances (down slightly from prior years dues); some cash positions are now in investment positions after reallocation occurred; a reclassification of funds.
Profit & Loss Summary - Board adopted column to be covered more in 1st interim budget due to changes (largest increase is Federal Revenue due to forgiveness of PPP loan, so amount can be listed now under fed. revenue); net income reveals little or no salary changes, even though we know that the salaries and benefits areas will reflect a possible ECRA Board approval of the ECRA-UTLA contract and salary proposals.
Profit & Loss YTD Summary - Comparison between November 2021 and the prior November (2020); $3.5 Million increase in fed. revenue, again, due to forgiveness of PPP loan; in-person instruction and Sport activities will incur additional expenses with the re-opening of school; additional CARES related expenses for 21-22 will also increase expenses; Employee benefits decrease due to STRS refund.
* Budge Comparison (YTD) - Lottery amounts went from $150 - Unrestricted/$49 - Restricted to $163 Unrestricted/$65 Restricted (more revenue); SEF Tax Rate went down from 1.23% to .50% (Savings); SPED rates projected to increase (more revenue); Pending negotiations will affect Salaries for 21-22 FY budget; also lower enrollment/ADA from 21-22 Adopted Budget (approx. 94 ADA/$1M less).
Department Budgets (4000s) - For textbooks and materials; 92%-93% of these funds expended at this time; Textbooks and IMA will continue to be monitored due to the need to purchase more materials in order to continue higher educational standards.
* Audited Financials have been extended from December 15th, to January 31st, 2022, due to Ed. Code.
Scrolled and referenced briefly each subsequent page/slide in the materials as detailed information supported by the preceding information/slides.
