  1. Welcome
  2. Agenda Approval
  3. Minutes for Sept.26
  4. Formula and Budget information - Asst. Superintendent Wade Roach
    1. Formula 2.0 Understanding the Calculation 2016-17 power point that Wade shared
      1. Formula is based on Budget
      2. Start working on formula in January and is finalized in September
      3. Formula looks at all on going general fund revenues
      4. TIC doesn’t get charged against “NVEA” portion of the formula
      5. Starting Point - remove supplemental “off the top” allocations
      6. Revenue is always outside the formula
      7. Expense side of formula is always on our side - salaries, retirees etc.
      8. 3% of budget has to go to restricted and deferred maintenance
      9. District portion of STRS is going up substantially every year; went up to 14% this year; projected to go up to 16% next year; will cap out at 19% by 2021; this is having a significant effect on districts being able to give raises and is being looked at
      10. one-time dollars cannot be put into our salary because we may not get them again and therefore impact formula
      11. 7 ½ % is the amount we keep in reserve, state requires a district our size to have at least 3% in reserve
      12. 6% of our formula is federal $’s
      13. Formula requires discipline on district since they have to pay bills etc. with 38% of what is left after the 61.33% which is required by NVEA
      14. 9% budget reduction equates to sites going back to 2015-2016 spending levels; we are currently  in declining enrollment; a district in declining enrollment needs to make cuts
      15. 7 period school day is being looked at to determine whether or not it is causing an impact.  Idea is to not cut staff now, but to look at it by March for the 2017-18 school year
      16. Reductions will be through attrition, cuts in administration and at the district office, and through PARS (Early Retirement - Golden Handshake)
      17. $1.3m error was entered as an acct receivable when it was actually an accts payable;  this error actually benefitted all staff in that it created higher raises in the past than what they should have been; now we are having to make reductions since the money isn’t there
      18. District doesn’t have errors and omissions insurance
      19. 7 ½ % equates to about 3 weeks worth of salaries
      20. Budget action meeting 11/15/16, NVEA representatives are Ginger, Mike, Gayle, Ted; they are going to Sacramento to look at Local Control Accountability piece so they understand it completely
  5. BAT input
    1. sticky notes were provided for reps to list any concerns or ideas to for the team members to take to the Budget Action Meeting
  6. NVEA Budget discussion and approval
    1. Dues - $10.67/month, $80k reserve (arbitration etc. would be paid for out of this reserve); dues are split between NVEA, CTA, and NEA
    2. Suggested that Gayle send a list showing the breakdown of where our dues goes (There is a list in the back of the CA Educator Magazine)
    3. CTA Budget Pie Chart (Where our Dues Go)
    4. Corey Morton made a motion to pass the budget and it was seconded by Ann Brown, all present were in agreement with no one abstaining
  7. Announcements
    1. Toy Drive - bring an unwrapped toy to our next meeting 11/28/16 (get members at your sites involved and we as NVEA can say we played a huge part in providing toys for the Toy Drive
    2. Election update
    3. Wellness committee
    4. Karen Fleming provided information regarding the benefits that are offered to CTA members 

Next Site Rep Meeting:  November 28, 2016 at 3:30pm in Rm. 205, Ed Center
