A. Ortiz highlighted recent changes to the proposed budget, including the addition of a second transitional kindergarten class at Watsonville Prep School. She noted that this was the first instance of including Hayward Collegiate in budget documents due to the recent merger. Members asked clarifying questions about budget issues, including topics relating to Hayward Collegiate facilities, charter management fees, and current economic conditions in the state.

A. Ortiz noted that the LCAPs for all schools were largely the same except for academic performance measures relating to state summative assessments (Watsonville Prep does not have two years of SBAC results due to the COVID-19 pandemic). She also mentioned a delay at the state level relating to the posting of results for this year's SBAC.

A. Ortiz explained that two of the counties in which Navigator Schools are located require annual board approval of state teacher retirement agreements. She reviewed annual fees related to these agreements.
