To Nonpublic School placements is that we just have contracts with them and we could assign people. We could take a child from one Nonpublic School and move them to oaks or take them from oaks and move them somewhere else and that would be problematic, and would like to acknowledge that. In the case of the Nonpublic Schools we just say these are the Nonpublic Schools that were going to contract with and its placement, et cetera. So we dont actually vote on the amount of money were giving to each Nonpublic School that. Is what makes this a little different. Exactly right, commissioner wynns, which is why this particular reso 13 million the entire Nonpublic School budget and to give her the advice to declare and abstain from this kind of discussion for the very reason you very articulately said. The question arises just like i think when commissioner fewer was you been talking about. We talk about what strategies we have to spend less money on Nonpublic Schools. That is one of our budget
Was another piece that we spoke about. You know, still kind of up in the air. And then the Budget Development calendar for 1314 he reviewed and some of the key areas that well need discussion on the timeline of the budget. We wanted to thank the Board Members in the things that you want to talk about, during our budget process and well be incorporating those topics in our discussions. As you know, there is a lot of Different Things that are happening on a variety of different budgets that will impact us deeply over the next two years. So we want to continue to have these conversations earlier rather than later. So i just wanted to appreciate the staff that helped to support this committee, because there is a lot of moving parts. And so in the next coming months, we will be really focused on the changes particularly around prop 30, and some of the priorities that were going to have to make in the coming months. Thank you. Thank you commissioner mendoza. So this brings us to item t are w
Lets see i probably shouldnt try to skip this, but board delegates to membership organizations nsba, csba, cgcs and we are already heard that we had a great conference with the csba in san francisco. Were there other things that people needed to report . Commissioner norton . I just want to recognize commissioner wynns, which we sort of do earlier in the meeting. It was her conference for csba.

Committee meeting, a committee of the whole or a Curriculum Committee meeting, would she then there be exempt from participating in those discussions . She would. Would she be exempt from participating in any discussion around special education and contracts . I dont think so. The way the government code is written, is that basically, if there is some financial gain nexus between what is being discussed and the fact that she employed by a Nonpublic School or a situation where an appearance, if a contract was not awarded to one Nonpublic School, that was maybe a competitor of oaks. She would not involve herself in anything there there would be the appearance of personal gain because that could provide funds to oaks that could be her salary. If its just a special education question in general that is unrelated to Nonpublic Schools, i of course will look at each of those individually, but i think she is able to discuss and vote on these matters. So this would not exempt commissioner maufa
