Intercom System Update

Mr. Walker informed the Board that the installation of an intercom system in classrooms and the exterior of the school has begun. The expected date of completion is when we return from Christmas Break.

Saturday School

Mr. Walker explained that there is County confusion regarding Saturday School. Mrs. Heather Igarta, our Business Manager, was told that Apportionment (claiming ADA) was no longer allowed in California by other county business managers. Since she was in the process of sending emails into the State Department of Education, she wanted to ensure that was the case. Surprisingly, the State Department gave her information on how to claim apportionment for Saturday School.

Mr. Walker presented the rollout of how Saturday School would work at Lassen View. He also presented a calculation of how many students it would take so that Saturday School would break even financially. Saturday School will be brought to a future meeting for approval.

Business Report

Mr. Walker presented for Mrs. Igarta who was absent. Key points from her Business Report included:

We are 25% through the school year and have received 29.3% of our revenue while spending 19.3% of our budgeted expenditures.
The school added 2 hours per day to the cafeteria for assistance with second supper which we took over from Red Bluff High. Even with the additional staffing, we are expecting to reduce the general fund contribution to our cafeteria this year by adding Second Chance Breakfast and Second Supper.
Our enrollment continues to climb.
Governor Brown signed SB751 which lifts the limits in ending fund school balances for school districts with ADA less than 2501. This will cover all schools in Tehama County.
Our ADA averaged 97.64% during our second month of attendance which is an improvement over previous months.
