Financial Sustainability Moving from short-term to long-term solutions for MPCSD

Multi-Year Projections

Purpose of tonight’s discussion To provide the Board information necessary to begin deliberation regarding the possible need for and timing around a replacement of Measure X--the 2017 temporary parcel tax measure.

Drafu Multi-Year Projections Worksheet Before you tonight is a draft version of three different multi-year projection scenarios: The first is an as/is scenario with 2.5% compensation increase assumption. ● The second involves an additional 5% compensation increase assumption. ● The third involves a 0% compensation increase assumption. ● The purpose is to give the Board an idea of how potential efforts to continue to pursue the Compensation Philosophy might impact the multi-year projections.

Assumptions Used budget adjustments from November (see Consent Agenda). ● Updating State STRS on Behalf (passthrough) and Workers Comp Savings. ● Changed Property Tax Assumptions to Reflect New Information ● Previously Now 2019/20 6.1% 7.0% 2020/21 5.1% 6.1% 2021/22 4.1% and holding 5.1% 2022/23 --- 4.1% and holding

Assumptions continued... Took out $200K in revenue from Foundation for the District’s field trip ● obligation (timing issue). Increase of MPAEF grant to $4 million. ● Real increase of 5% for teachers and assumed increase for other staff for ● the current school year. Updated Tinsley revenue slightly. ● Did not include enrollment increases, which are a real possibility in the ● out years due to development timelines.

Facilities Considerations

K-5 Facilities As a result of limited land, MPCSD has the highest enrollment in the county at our three elementary schools. Oak Knoll and Encinal have slight growth capacity, but not much. While the Lower campus has some capacity, Upper Laurel is at capacity. Increased enrollment, which is likely due to development in the El Camino corridor, could require creative solutions. MPCSD needs to continue to monitor growth potential due to development and consider slightly altered boundary maps to accommodate. At some point in the future, it would be great if MPCSD were able to add another elementary facility to its portfolio.

Middle School Facilities Hillview Middle, the district’s only school serving students in grades 6-8, is att capacity if all teachers are to have their own rooms. Currently, there are two teachers who move from class to class, and 5 other specialists who share rooms. Increasing the capacity of the middle school to provide all full-time teachers with their own classroom, in addition to addressing auxiliary facilities like the gym and locker room, should be a top priority as we are likely to feel the impacts of growth at the middle school most immediately.

Land Use MPCSD uses all of the land it owns. There is limited square footage growth potential at all sites. Currently, the District does not have a proper transportation yard, M&O facility, or storage. Parking is limited in places where parking would be most helpful. MPCSD should remain open to land purchase or lease options for increased flexibility and growth needs, including more classroom space, potentially the option of an additional middle school facility using a small school model, and an MOT facility. Land purchase may be a good idea to include in a future Bond measure.

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems in our older facilities are aging and nearing their replacement. Currently, there are few classrooms in all of the district that have air conditioning. All HVAC systems should be updated with the latest in energy efficient ventilation technologies. With changing climate and calendars, classrooms need air conditioning to create optimal learning environments. With air quality concerns, ventilation capacity should be upgraded to ensure student and staff safety.

Energy Efficiency & Zero Waste Efforts Hillview and the Upper Campus of Laurel are the only two schools that have energy efficiency and/or solar power design included. Expanding energy efficiency would be the right thing for the environment and reduce energy costs. MPCSD just began Zero-Waste efforts. We look forward to creating the infrastructure necessary to sustain our efforts toward true zero-waste.

Campus Safety & Security Campus safety and security measures are accomplished through adult supervision, signage, training of all staff, facility design, and collaborative relationships with local law enforcement. The “open and outdoor” design of most California schools leads to the perception that schools are not adequately enclosed for student/staff safety. MPCSD community could afford to implement the best-in-class security plans and infrastructure at all campuses, including strategic fencing and state-of-the-art video systems, to ensure safety while also valuing an open and welcoming feeling.
