Thanks for providing information on school site impact but we need trend info for all the data provided - especially with 1-time money (like Low-Performing Student Block Grant or Comprehensive Support & Improvement) & staffing. We can't tell how what is projected for 20-21 compares to what district received in 19-20. The public should also see private dollars school communities have access to from PTAs & funders beyond Salesforce. Please post the 1-pagers - last year and this year. We need community discussion of equity formula. I like duplicated student approach (these shouldn't be called "LCFF students"), focus on SWD and literacy, but we need more discussion of whether other factors like gun violence in neighborhood should be part of formula as in LA. Please explain why MYP shows $35M Books/Supplies. If schools have significant carryover, spend this 1st rather than cutting from schools. Concerned some schools getting base cuts and losing clerical without additional funds.
