The Tuesday, September 5, 2023, LASD Board meeting will start its open session at 7:00pm and contemporaneous public comments may only be made in person in the LASD Board Room. We use the Zoom webinar platform for community members to follow our meetings at home. If you cannot attend in person, and have a comment that you would like the LASD Board to consider in its decision making, please email all of us at [email protected].  To register to watch the board meeting from the comfort of your home, click here.  The entire agenda and supporting documentation for this week's meeting can be found here.

First up on the agenda, Erik Walukiewicz will present the 2022-23 Unaudited Financials.  This is an action item and his presentation and the financials can be found under agenda item H.1. Erik asks the Board to approve the unaudited actuals so that he can file it with the County of Education (SCCOE).  With our books closed for the 22/23 school year, our bottom line looks healthy but the unfunded mandate of Transitional Kindergarten and the underfunded mandate of Universal Meals, and paying our staff a living wage continues to chip away at our reserves.

Next, Erik will present a Resolution Adopting the Gann Limit. This is an action item and the resolution and backup materials can be found under agenda item H.2.  Erik asks the Board to approve this resolution which is basically procedural and sets an appropriations limit on the District based on last years actual appropriations and expectation for this budget year.  

Then, Erik will present an Agreement to Prepare Utility Impact Study.  The rationale for the agreement and the agreement itself can be found under agenda item H.3.  Erik asks that the Board approve this agreement because the City of Mountain View requires us to determine the projected water demand and sewer generation of the 10th site for the Environment Impact Report. 

Erik will next present the Annual Developer Fee Report.  This is discussion item and his report can be found under agenda item H.4.  Every year the state requires school districts to file an annual report of the income received from developers fees and how those fees are expended by the district (which can only be expended on Capital Facilities projects).  Almost every year we expend more in that category than we receive in developers fees. 

Last, but not least, Sandra McGonagle will present a Resolution for Single Subject Teaching Credential. This is an action item and the resolution can be found under agenda item H.5.  Approval of this resolution will allow teachers credentialed in another subject matter, teach a different subject as long as they completed a certain amount of classes in the new subject matter. 

Please note, this is just the highlights of what is on the agenda for the 9/5/23 meeting.  You can inform yourself about the rest of the agenda at the link provided above.  As always, feel free to email me with any questions.
