Clifford Hong, Middle School Network Superintendent, provided an update

on Coliseum College Preparatory Academy (CCPA) overage amount of

$42,492.40. Staff discovered the funds were utilized for an employees

salary that was drown down from the approved funding amount for CCPA

month by month until it was drown down to the overage amount of

$42,492.40 in April 2023. Jonathan Mayer is conducting further

investigation into the matter and may provide possible remedies to prevent

funding overages in the future.

- Chairperson Grover asked what employee position for CCPA was funded,

how much of the position is funded with Measure G1 funds, how much of

the position has been paid to date, and what is the cause of the overage?

- Jonathan Mayer said the employee position was for an elective class

instructor, and 100% of the position is funded with Measure G1 funds.

- Clifford Hong said there could have been several factors that led to a

higher amount for the employee position at CCPA than was previously

budgeted for said position such as employee benefits for other family

members, or completion of a Masters Degree or higher which increase their

step on the salary scale.

- Secretary Chun said upon review of CCPA's School Plan for Student

Achievement (SPSA) the elective teacher assigned with a Measure G1

budget resource is a reading intervention teacher. Secretary Chun further

stated that a reading intervention teachers do not align with the possible

uses of Measure G1 Funding. Secretary Chun request further information

on this matter.

Chairperson Grover requested further information on:

- What was the elective class position at CCPA, and what was the position

that was approved by Measure G1 last year
