Why don't I kick start it and then I can turn it over to Dr. Baker? Dr. Baker and I spoke earlier today, and we wanted to make sure that we had an opportunity to recognize two of our amazing staff individuals who will be. I think this is their last board meeting. So I know the board of directors wanted to say thank you, and we can each go around and say a few words for both Priscilla and Eliana, who have served this school district and all the community and students and everybody so well and particularly have been extremely supportive. Supportive to the board of directors. And I know you've had some other celebrations already, and I believe you're getting flowers and other things, but I know that the board publicly wanted to say thank you so much. I'll say a little bit more, but why don't I turn over Dr. Baker? And then if we want to just go around and."},{"start":302300,"end":368270,"speaker":"C","text":"Well, we started celebrating yesterday. Priscilla was, you know, is not with us. She's in Hawaii, or Priscilla would have been with us yesterday also when we took Eliana out for lunch. And we had a small celebration at that time at Angelica's to recognize all the efforts and hard work she's done for the last 12 years in the district. Two years as an interpreter, translator, and then 10 years as working with the superintendent. So it's been an amazing time for Eliana. She's kind of grown up here in the Redwood City school district. Not only was she born in the North Fair Oaks area and went through Redwood City schools, but, you know, professionally, she's. She's grown up here in the district. And then today we had cake and flowers. And they're hot Cheetos. Right. I didn't know this. And I didn't know this about her. She's really into hot, spicy food. So it was hot Cheetos and jalapenos. And jalapenos.

And so that was all decorated upstairs with those different types of treats. And then there was a chocolate cake and there were flowers and, you know, signs on the wall. We're really going to miss her. I will really miss her as a superintendent who she works very closely with me. And we just, you know, sorry to see her Go. But at the same time, she's moving on professionally, which is really great to hear when someone has that opportunity and has put in a lot of effort and perfection in the work that they're doing now. And it's been recognized by another entity who definitely is moving her in a different pathway. Thank you, Will. But I'm very happy for her. Very happy for her. But it's been a wonderful time having her work for the Redwood City School District and also being in the position that she's in, working very closely with the superintendent and then all the board members. So for her years of working with us, we already gave you a little gift. Yes, but this is just a certificate to say in recognition of 12 years of service to the Redwood City School District. Thank you for your hard working, dedicated, committed work ethic to the superintendent, staff, and families of the district."},{"start":450690,"end":451650,"speaker":"A","text":"Thank you so much."},{"start":451810,"end":469700,"speaker":"C","text":"You're welcome.

Eliana, thank you so much for your contribution to the Redwood City School District. I am so proud to see that you not only went through our schools, but came back to help other students. You were a real big asset to the administration. I really appreciate the fact that you're bilingual and that you just were always learning and taking on more responsibility. I know sometimes things were a little stressful, but you just thrived. And I am so glad to see that you are moving on professionally as well. It is a big loss for us, but not to worry. I see Evelyn is ready to take on the challenge and like, you grow in the district. But you really were the first person that could really help me with a lot of the parent questions. And it took off a big load off my plate. So I really appreciate all the work that you've done for us and wish you only the best in your trajectory and your career goals. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And keep in touch."},{"start":568510,"end":568950,"speaker":"C","text":"We'll do."},{"start":568950,"end":569110,"speaker":"D","text":"Right."},{"start":569110,"end":601410,"speaker":"C","text":"And we'll do Priscilla afterwards. Yeah, I just. I'll echo everyone's thanks. Ali, thanks for just. On a personal note, just helping me get up to speed here, you know, with just everything that is part of being on the school board and seeing the school board operate. I really appreciate all that help, whether it's, you know, helping you get whatever the forms are filed that need to be there and then just all the operations here. I really appreciate it. Best of luck. It sounds like an exciting new opportunity, so congratulations."},{"start":604290,"end":609970,"speaker":"B","text":"I'll echo that too, because I was going to say, you know, even though I've been on the board for a while now, you were really instrumental helping"},{"start":609970,"end":612130,"speaker":"E","text":"me get up to speed and staying"},{"start":612130,"end":653450,"speaker":"B","text":"on top of everything that I needed to know and enrolling me in master's in governance, like all that stuff, the back end stuff that you do, I really appreciate. And your attention to detail is incredible. And I think it's been a huge asset to the district and to the superintendent and the board with all of the responsibilities that you have. And I know it's been stressful, but I do want to say you have an incredible way of just your demeanor stays calm when you're stressed, when you have a lot on your plate. You still are pretty. You're even keeled. And I appreciate that too. So best of luck. You know, Will's lucky to have you and we'll miss you here, but I'll see you on Facebook."},{"start":663620,"end":741510,"speaker":"E","text":"So, you know, both as a school board member, but then also just as an individual, as a, as a colleague, it's been amazing watching you grow up in our district and you know, from a student, as John said, and then I've been on the board the whole time from the beginning when you came on. And just watching you grow into the position and really come into your own professionally, it's been a real honor and a privilege to be a part of that. And thank you so much for everything that you do. Like, like Janet said, all the behind the scenes stuff. Anytime we need a reimbursement form or we need to sign up for a CSBA event or whatever, you're always right there. You've been so great at getting out all the materials on the agenda online and it's a huge production for every board meeting. And you're the. Actually now we've moved to board docs. What I was going to say is you also then moved us over to board docs and I mean, just like really taken on so much responsibility to really kind of keep the engine running, which, you know, the board is making a lot of decisions for the district and you've helped support the backbone of that and really, really appreciate it. We're going to miss you. We know that Evelyn will come into the job as well, and we're so happy to have you. Evelyn, join us And I just wish you all the best, Eliana, and I hope you stay in touch. I really want to continue to hear how you're doing professionally and personally and all of that. So best of luck to you."},{"start":742150,"end":841670,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah. And then for me, of course, I've only gone to know you in the last four years, but I do actually, even prior to the four years as a parent of the Rabbit City School District, I remember when you first started, I made the comment to someone, I forget who, I said who is a new translator, because your message came across super clear, perfect Spanish, which I am very proud of. And so that's when I learned it was Eliana. I didn't know who you were until four years ago. And then again, just like everybody's saying, I mean, you kind of kept us on our toes. You make sure, you know, you send us a text, you send us an email, you send us a reminder on top of all your work. And I personally do know that you do a lot behind the scenes that maybe it just seems very, you know, now we have the agenda here, but there is a lot of work. I mean, as a superintendent assistant, you do have to teamwork with a whole bunch of departments. You need to make sure that all the stuff is on time. You know, you need to follow through with a whole bunch of departments. So I'm sure that they are going to miss you just as much as I personally will, too. And again, I'm sure to give Evelyn some credit, I'm sure you're training her very well. But I do want to say personally that there are a lot of times when we. It's hard to. People with your work ethics, it's kind of hard to find. Right. We. We do have them, but not everybody is the same. So that I will definitely miss. So I really want to thank you very, very much and good luck. Yeah, definitely."},{"start":852800,"end":943260,"speaker":"B","text":"So I want to thank everyone for all the nice things that have been said for the last few days. It's been a true honor working with the Redwood City School District as a student. You know, I went to Fair Oaks, Taft, Garfield Kennedy Middle School. And I don't know if many of you know this, but I didn't speak English, and I learned to speak English starting fourth grade. And the teachers that helped me learn English and just excel academically made a huge impact in my life. And a lot of them obviously were Redwood City School District teachers. I always had a high regard for them, even as a kid, because, you know, you're navigating. Even though I was born and raised Here in Redwood City, North Fair Oaks. But at home, my mom and my grandparents always instilled in us the importance of knowing our native tongue. So Spanish was always a must at home. Either if we speak Spanish or we wrote it, it had to be a must. So now working with the Redwood City School District, and actually, the first few years that I started working for the Redwood City School District, I got to work with some of my former teachers. So I just didn't get that knowledge as a student."},{"start":943420,"end":946700,"speaker":"A","text":"But working professionally with them gave me"},{"start":946700,"end":978700,"speaker":"B","text":"also a different experience with them and just learning from them professionally. It just wasn't the teachers. I mean, it was a school board. Superintendent Baker, also Superintendent Christiansen at the time, our attorneys, County Council gwk, Janet Mueller. I know she's on the call tonight. Been instrumental. I mean, they have been available for any questions, and I think it has been a team effort and just knowing"},{"start":979900,"end":981900,"speaker":"E","text":"how to connect with people and who"},{"start":981900,"end":999080,"speaker":"B","text":"to go to to answer questions. So I want to say thank you to everybody from Custod, audience from staff members, cns, everybody here at the district office. Thank you so much for making my time here at Redwood City so special. And it's been an honor working with you guys. So thank you so much."},{"start":1004840,"end":1126530,"speaker":"C","text":"So we all know that Priscilla is. This is her last board meeting, and this is her last workday, actually. Well, no, tomorrow is the last workday. Yeah, it's tomorrow's last workday for her. Priscilla came in at a difficult time, as you all were aware of our situation prior to Priscilla coming in. And she worked very closely. She and Liz. How I got to know Priscilla was that she and Liz worked closely because they used to come in and oversee our lcap, how it was being created, making sure that we were following the guidelines correctly. And when the position became available. We had another CBO a while back, which I think. Elisa, you're. No, Maria is probably the only board member. Raul Parangal. Okay. But she worked the longest. She was. Maria was here from the beginning with him. That's what I was. That's the direction I was going. And Raul called me up and said, I see you have a CBO position available, and I know somebody who would really like to apply. But is there an internal candidate? I said, no, there's no internal candidate. We do have people that, you know, as Priscilla has also said, that are capable but don't want the job, are very capable, but they. These people, these individuals feel that that's not for them. And when you're in the position and even not being in the position. I can understand why, but talked to Priscilla and I think Raul called you. I think if I'm not mistaken, and said, no, there is no internal candidate. He said, apply. And she was definitely the first one. As soon as I knew she was going to apply, I know I wanted her working at the county office. I know they were not happy, especially. Who is the CBO that left Priscilla?"},{"start":1127090,"end":1128210,"speaker":"A","text":"Dennis Porterfield."},{"start":1128210,"end":1188440,"speaker":"C","text":"Yeah. Denise Porterfield didn't like it when I walked into a superintendent's meeting. I said she was presenting. And she goes, you took Priscilla? And I go, I didn't take anyone. She applied for the job. So Priscilla came in during a time, Mike, when we knew that the budget was not going in the right direction. We had an interim for a while. Who was the previous superintendent of Sequoia Union High School District, Jim Leannidis, who at one time was a cbo. And he and I started at Garfield together years ago. And so I asked Jim to come in. And then Jim, while we waited and we found Priscilla, Jim looked at the books and he says, you know there's a problem here, don't you? And I go, huh? Because you need to do something about this or else county office is going to come in and do their. Their work and you're going to have to abide by it, by it. And the board's not going to be"},{"start":1188440,"end":1189240,"speaker":"A","text":"able to say anything."},{"start":1190760,"end":1328450,"speaker":"C","text":"So I listened. And then I. And Priscilla also knew this coming in as she looked at the books and said yes. So I told her what we were going to do, and that's when we started the restructuring of the district, and that's when we closed four schools. So she's gone through all that. Plus, we were told for years that we were not going to be basic aid. When I stepped into the position, the person who was in her position at that time told us it wasn't going to be for another 10 or 12 years. Priscilla came in and said, that's not right. You're going to be basic aid really soon. She started that process and making sure that we were going to go in that direction. Plus, even before she leaves, as you know, she's still definitely fighting for us to get the 2.4 million that we had to give up. And she's had our attorneys on it. And she's also met with California Department of Ed. Financial people. And we're going after it still. We're still going after it. And she has just been a. A person who is really easy to work with. And as you all know, we understand the Budget really easily now compared to what we had previously. And I. I know Rick is not on the call, but I will see him tomorrow morning because he has a meeting with me before he has a meeting with you. And he understands what he's walking into and what shoes he has to fill. And so, Priscilla, you've done an amazing job and I will truly miss you. You're the first CBO I've worked with since Raul that really. The relationship really clicked and I really understood what was going on. And listen very carefully. And if I still didn't get it, you explained it a different way for me because the budget, the way it works in the school systems are entirely different from other budgets. I mean, my brother, who's in finances, this is crazy. When he looks at a budget, no way would we do this. So I will truly miss you. And I want to. Did you get the flowers? Did the flowers arrive?"},{"start":1329090,"end":1329810,"speaker":"A","text":"Not yet."},{"start":1331250,"end":1331970,"speaker":"C","text":"Oh, no."},{"start":1332610,"end":1333890,"speaker":"D","text":"Going through the ocean."},{"start":1334690,"end":1390870,"speaker":"C","text":"They should have been there. All right. They're swimming through the. Okay, well, there are flowers coming and let me know if you don't get. They're supposed to be there today. Oh, I checked before the. The board meeting and they hadn't arrived. I hadn't got text. Yeah, thank you, though. But they should. I bet they should have been there early. No, but Priscilla, you will certainly be missed. And I admire you so much for your knowledge and your expertise in the budget arena and for all the assistance you have given. Not only myself, but other colleagues here and the district office. And I know. I think I can talk for both Wendy and for Liz. They will both miss you also. Immensely. Immensely. I know you're. You're. You're set in Hawaii and.

Following up on that. John is right. During our tenure, John and I have been together and we went from a CBO that wouldn't give you the reports or tell you which end was up and confused you more than anything. To Raul and then you, who made it just so easy. When you ask for something, you get it. And as he said, we were under the impression that we were not going to be community funded, probably ever. And then you came in and you just got right to it. I really appreciate your focus on having the system be student centered and really going above and beyond. You always research what the latest bill is going through. Where Is it. What is the updates? What's the impact on us? And provide us with a good overview of what the district finances are. And as John said, you're leaving some big shoes to fill. So I'm glad that you're going to be around in case Rick needs a little help here and there. And you know, also through the pandemic, it's been extremely difficult and you have made it work and kept us going in the right direction. And personally, I think that you also have this very, like, Ellie, very calm demeanor and you know, when things were like really stressful, you were just, well, let's see and go to the next piece and I'll fix that right back. And so I really appreciate all you have done for our district. Your network of knowledge and knowledge are just so vast. And again, thank you for all you've done for this district and I hope that you will continue to help us out and I wish you the best in Hawaii and wherever else you are. Keep in touch. Thank you. I will. Maria, Thanks."},{"start":1550530,"end":1598220,"speaker":"C","text":"I can't really talk. Everything that's been said already, I agree 100%. It's remarkable how, how well the. You're able to present the budget to us both where things are working well and where there are pitfalls and make it so that it's very understandable. It is big shoes indeed that, that you're leaving to be filled. And so thank you so much. I think you might be the only one that I haven't actually met in person. So somehow it feels fitting that it's a virtual farewell as well. But maybe that'll change at some point in the future. If you ever find your back here, we, we can grab a coffee or something as opposed to the virtual coffees that we've had when you've explaining the budget to me."},{"start":1598220,"end":1598580,"speaker":"B","text":"So."},{"start":1598580,"end":1600820,"speaker":"C","text":"But thank you very much and best of luck."},{"start":1601780,"end":1602740,"speaker":"A","text":"Thank you, Mike."},{"start":1606900,"end":1652540,"speaker":"B","text":"I'll go next.

At the time that you came into the district, it was hard times for us and I, you, you having been at the county office already and being so familiar with our district and our budget gave me such peace of mind knowing that we were going to be in good hands even before I got to know you. And I will just say that your depth and breadth of knowledge is invaluable, has been invaluable to our district. And like Maria said, your.

We're such a quick responder, and, you know, I think we all had such confidence. We have such confidence in the numbers that you're presenting, and you do such a good job of explaining them for a layperson to understand, and not everybody can do that. So thank you so much for just helping us through, as Janet just said, some really hard times, you know, and we've come out strong, and we're ready for the next battle in terms of the next financing battle. And I think you've set us up quite well, and I know you've been working closely with Rick and you'll continue to support us as we move forward.

The shift to more sustainable sources of energy is an important topic as energy is used everywhere. Construction, powering factors and businesses, and so much more. It is also one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. With the combustion of fossil fuels contributing to around 74% of total carbon emissions. And the United States Redland City itself releases around 600,000 metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. While this is only around 0.0001% of the United States annual carbon dioxide emissions, any actions we take to reduce our emissions will have an impact. Solar power is a source of sustainable energy and an important tool in reducing our climate. However, the process of converting the sun's energy into energy that can be used by buildings is complex. Solar panels convert light or photons into electricity or voltage. Because of this, solar cells are also called photovoltaic or PV cells. Solar panels produce direct current or dc while most electronic devices and buildings require ultra or ac. Inverters are then needed to convert GC to ac. Different types of solar panels require different types of inverters, string arrays or when lodges of solar cells are connected into extreme panels, large invert inverter or string inverters. There is additionally another type of inverter, a microinverter which is a small inverter that attaches to the underneath. The solder immediately bursts energy efficiency, there is less dissipation and less energy is lost while it is flowing through the transmission line. For my project I connected with Donald D. Redwood City School District's Director of Bond Construction and Will Robertson, consultant for the Redwood City School District. They have been working on a project to install and manage solar panels in the Redwood City School District. 5 this is funded by top two design for the California Clean Energy Tax act which paid more than $1.7 billion over five years. The schools looking to increase their energy efficiency and switch to clean energy. The Rent City School District in South Seoul has 1, 4, 7. The district office had a life based service Sanction Residential School, Roosevelt Middle School and Clifford Elementary School. These sites produce several different types of solar panel installations including a roof planted system, a parking lot canopy, a Blackhawk canopy as well as hillside solar panels. All of these solar panel setups can easily be safe. There are around 400 to 600 meters per site. Installing solar panels takes a lot of work. Factors such as wind, the direction of the panels, space, distance from the electrical system, meter location and the current energy efficiency of the site all need to be taken into consideration. The solar Panels have a 25 year lifespan of power prevention how that each year the panels produce 95% of what they produce the fruit exposure to new pollutants. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Were working on maintenance for the solar panels. They've noticed a drop in the efficiency of the panels and after investigating they discovered that there were a few damaged modules and one under the water looking at 50% of its capacity. Additionally, module soiling or the buildup of dust, dirt or leaves on the panels occurred in the late summer and early fall. This is an annual effect ended by rain which unfortunately has become less. However, even with the date based components of the and the amount of effort needed to maintain them over the course of only one year, the district already saved around $132,600 and offset approximately 87% of the district's consumption in the second wave. It's important that Projects like this continue to be funding as. These are the 19.

And I want to thank Leslie Danieli, who put this together and the past couple of days to give you, you know, some background information to go along with the plan that was in the board packet. So this is information about the additional funding that we received from the federal funding, the title funding, and how that. Excuse me. Is meant to enhance and kind of extend the impact of the LCAP and have it be one large plan. So that's what this is here. It's to. To meet our responsibility to again, show how we're using the funding and bring that transparency forward to you. So it is. The federal addendum gives you information about how we plan to spend our title 1, 2, 3 and 4 funding. There's a narrative for each of the proposed expenditure and funding sources. And this plan must be completed and submitted to the CDE before we actually are allocated the funding. So the information that we have right now is based on an estimate based on the numbers of students that we believe generate the funding. But until they actually read this and do the final calculations, you know that that funding may change a little bit. So we anticipate our projected financial impact. Our income will be $1,854,681 to be allocated in a variety of different ways. And we'll just give you a brief overview of that. Some of this information is already. Or some of this funding is already included. In the LCAP because we do want to have this be one large program, but there are some additional kind of hold asides in order to be able to spend this funding going forward. So some of this funding is allocated directly to the sites for title one and there is an amount that's kept back and then the rest of the titles are district operated. Some of the funding also goes to the public school, to the private school. And all of that can be information that if you are interested in seeing that exact information that will go forward in the con, in the consolidated application,"},{"start":3281320,"end":3282720,"speaker":"A","text":"we call it the CON app and"},{"start":3282720,"end":3422380,"speaker":"B","text":"that will be finalized probably the end around August. It's a little bit later this year than it was last year. So all of these, I'm not going to read all of this, but these are supplemental services that are funded by the title programs. And again a lot of this you'll see see similar to what's in the LCAP because again it is meant to be, you know, integrated program. Much of the funding from the title one and the title two funding is in the LCAP to support our TOSAs. Their salaries are primarily based in title funding, but it's also used for professional development, for additional support materials, for family engagement, family strategies. And so again what isn't being funded right now in the LCAP there is this additional funding as needs come up that we have this funding that can be allocated to that. So title one, this again is just a background information that it's based on our low income count, our low income student count, and again there's a set aside for the district and the majority of the funding goes out to the schools based on their count of low income students. These are the kinds of things that are applicable to the Title I funding, professional development out of Title ii. And again much of this now is being spent on our TOSAS and on professional developments and stipends and trainings for our teachers. Title three, as you know, we have one of our goals in the LCAP is all about our English learners. And so a lot of this funding is already embedded in the title. The Title three funding in the lcap, particularly in support of our newcomer program and some additional materials that we're using for the summer school program that we have going and that we'll be purchasing for the coming year. And then some of our bilingual assistants, our newcomer assistants are also funded out of our Title 3 funding. And Title 4 is kind of a catch all amount of funding. It's not a lot, but it's meant to again look at how do we provide that well rounded education? So it's additional PD can be additional materials, it can be used for some technology and some additional training opportunities. Any questions?

This is a follow on to a presentation that the consulting group made at the last meeting. I was unfortunately not here. A colleague stood in for me. But the purpose of that was to kind of get, get everybody ready as far as preparing for a ballot measure and what that was going to look like and what information we were going to be pulling together post survey to start really pulling together what this follow on school bond measure might look like. So tonight is the opportunity to sort of see the work of the consulting team trying to pull together the financial parameters, sort of some of the survey data, you know, the bond project list, working with the facilities team, the 75 word ballot summary which is as you probably know is perhaps the only information that voters might see about the proposed measure and to sort of bring it all into a form that you'll use on August 10th to call for the measure and file it with the registrar of voters. So there's A base resolution. It's the first four or five pages. It's got a lot of information in it. A lot of it is kind of technical information related to calling an election. Then you have the attachments. And the first One is the 75 word summary, which I think is the wisdom of the team as far as bringing together all these different requirements, all compressed into a very short 75 words, a full ballot text, the full statement of the measure that will get printed in the ballot pamphlet that includes, includes that very important bond project list, what we intend to do with the revenue, and obviously the cornerstone piece of what our plans are and it should reflect our plans. And then finally the tax rate statement, which Blake has prepared, which advises voters as far as what this measure will cost the taxpayers at different points in time, as well as what the total debt service will look like based on the assumptions and parameters that we've used in sizing the $298 million measure. So, as Dr. Baker mentioned, we'll bring this back to you on the 10th for approval. And this is really an opportunity for open discussion, questions, comments, things that, you know, you might want, feel could be better phrased or framed because we have plenty of opportunity at this point to make some of those adjustments before we"},{"start":3676310,"end":3683270,"speaker":"A","text":"bring back the final document.

And thank you, Janet, for incorporating those various comments. I think it looks really, really good. I did have one, I think just question for the board, and we don't necessarily have to decide tonight, but I think we'll have to give feedback to Dr. Baker and Janet before August 10th. If you look at page six on exhibit A, the ballot language. So that 75 word ballot language we had, I think earlier the board had had a conversation. Do we say levying 2.4 cents per $100 of assessed value or say $24 per $100,000 of assessed value? Is the word count the same on those? And it's just a matter of how we want to express it or was there some reason to do the since per 100 instead? Because I think we had landed on wanting to say $24 per 100,000."},{"start":3751130,"end":3751770,"speaker":"B","text":"But it's open."},{"start":3751770,"end":3761930,"speaker":"E","text":"I mean, this is a draft and this is a conversation.

Yeah, go ahead."},{"start":3761930,"end":3860630,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah, I. Happy to share my thoughts. So, you know, a couple years ago, and it's it's post, you know, measure T. So the law shifted a little bit as to what you had to tell voters in the 75 words. You didn't used to have to express the tax rate at all. We, we put the tax rate information in the tax rate statement, but the 75 word summary didn't have to have that information. So that's why it may look a little bit different and a little bit more, you know, complex to read. And I think for the prevailing wisdom is the tax rate statement is required when you express a tax rate, to express it as cents per hundred. And we have done both in the tax rate statement, we express it as cents per hundred and dollars per 100,000. I do think people have maybe an easier time doing that math. At least I do when it's dollars per hundred thousand. But I think we have generally in this industry landed on the fact that a tax rate for purposes of a bond measure is technically to be expressed as cents per hundred. So that was, I think that may have been a change from, I don't know if both were tested in the survey. Can't quite recall that, like you may remember, but it was a little bit of a shift, I think, from, from what the starting assumptions were as far as how we would express it. Of course, course, when you educate voters about the measure and you communicate and you help them understand how to calculate what they might pay, we can provide all that kind of information. We can express it as the dollars per 100,000 as well. But I think in the legal document we're best leaving it as cents per hundred."},{"start":3862390,"end":3875040,"speaker":"E","text":"Thank you for that additional explanation. Appreciate that.

Would there be any project there that wouldn't be including that project list? And the answer was no. Everything that we did for measure T. And I thought that seems like it's a pretty complete project list.

Okay, well, so a couple of thoughts about that. So that's under a fairly long term lease, and that lease is going to continue on for probably honestly the period during which construction proceeds would be expended. We wouldn't use tax exempt bond proceeds to improve a privately leased site. And as far as I recall, the tenant there has all the obligations to maintain that site. So unlike, for example, the sites where your charter schools are located, where we have an obligation to provide facilities that are reasonably equivalent to in condition to our other school sites, we have no such relationship to our private school tenant. So we didn't include it, I think based on just there being no belief that there's a plan to do anything at that site, nor would we, you know, maybe be doing anything out there anyway over this period, the period of the current lease."},{"start":4008510,"end":4011870,"speaker":"B","text":"Okay, that makes sense because the lease is longer than the one that's on the Allerton."},{"start":4012190,"end":4012830,"speaker":"D","text":"Exactly."},{"start":4012830,"end":4013390,"speaker":"B","text":"Thank you."},{"start":4018110,"end":4023950,"speaker":"A","text":"And I don't have any questions.

And one is early childhood and adding more opportunities for kids to be in school as well as to be on the school. School campus for longer periods of time. And so this plan puts both of those together into our. It's called many things. It's called here, it's called the Transitional Kindergarten Plan, but officially it's the Universal Pre K and also known as the Universal TK plan because they're all meant to be combined and connected. So the, the goal is that by 2025, 2026, all four year olds will be enrolled in TK classrooms and that starting next year, in the 2022, 23 school year, all TK students will be provided with the opportunity to be on campus for nine hours each day from 8 in the morning until 5. And this is meant to provide support to families, to working families. And you heard about this when we talked about the expanded Learning Opportunities grant, which was part of this as well. Couldn't just be one plan, it had to be a bunch of different plans. But they're all meant to be connected. And so there's a lot of overlap. And the recommendation for us was a very strong recommendation working with our partners in the San Mateo County Office of Education is that we look at how we can connect the TK program with the existing Pre K programs on site to provide those wraparound services in a fairly seamless way. So there's a little bit of information about that as well. So this is just a graphic that shows the change in the TK eligibility, adding two more months of children turning four each year until all four year olds are served. The idea behind that being as more four year olds are served out of the Pre K program, that the Pre K program will start serving even younger children and possibly serve 2 and 3 year olds over time. And that's a whole other issue in itself because that's a lot of different kinds of trainings for the current teachers at the sites. But that's in another plan I'm sure that we'll have to write. So next year we will have five TK classrooms, one in Adelante Selby, which is an existing and continuing program that serves the Spanish Immersion program. Hoover will continue and they have a bilingual teacher in that program. Orion has a new program for the English speaking students from that area of town. They will go to Orion. Formerly it was at Clifford this year, but we moved it to Orion to be more centrally located next year. The following year there will probably be one at Clifford again and they're kind of saving the space in anticipation of that. In addition, there will be an Orion Mandarin Immersion program that will serve the Mandarin immersion TK students and will feed into the kindergarten the following year. And there will be a new TK at Taft. Another one of the requirements is the reduction of the ratio of teacher to students over time. This year the class size is 24 with one teacher per 12 students. So every TK classroom as this year has one teacher and one instructional assistant. The following year the ratio changes from 1 to 10. So if we maintain class size in the TK's at 24, there will need to be two instructional assistants with one teacher. There are new staffing requirements for the teachers in the TK program. They need to have at least 24 units in early childhood. They need to have had professional experience working in an early childhood program or that they have a child development teacher permit. We are working with our new TK teachers who many of them don't yet have the certification to help them get that certification. And we've set aside some funding to support that through our Effective Educator grant that we had a few months ago. And we're working with the, in collaboration with the San Mateo County Office of Education that will probably be offering these classes through the county office. And so our teachers will be able to access them pretty easily. That's still being worked out because that's another grant that the county office applied for to develop these trainings. And this is just a sample of what a TK schedule would look like. We're very interested in making sure that it's age appropriate program, that it's not just kindergarten two years in a row."},{"start":4909810,"end":4910010,"speaker":"A","text":"Right."},{"start":4910010,"end":4957610,"speaker":"B","text":"That this is a program that's designed for four year olds.

And so that they're planning meetings with the teachers already. So a little bit more about the expanded learning opportunities. This is now being managed by Enrique Calderon, who is our expanded Learning Opportunity program manager. And he has been in contact with Edna Carmona from the Pre K as well as Cheryl Chan from the San Mateo County Office of Education to really talk through what some of the issues are. Because there are some issues in setting up this program. We have been advertising these opportunities to TK parents. And I'll show you some information about that in just a second. And that has also now been taken over by Enrique to ensure that parents get appropriate information about the enrollment in the afternoon program. The one little bit of a glitch is that all of the pre K classrooms that serve the TK students are on the same site with the exception of Orion. And so the Orion students who will be attending the pre K afternoon program will need to be transported by a bus. And so we're working with the transportation department to figure that out. It's an option for families. Not everybody wants to do this, but we wanted to make sure that everybody knew that they had this option. And so we're reaching out to the families to let them know that. And this is just a little bit of information about the connection of the UPK, the universal pre K with the TK, all as being part of a P3 larger plan from the governor in looking at early childhood and having this be a fairly collaborative, seamless transition from pre K up through third grade, ultimately. Right. And so we've been, as I mentioned, we've been working with the Pre K teachers to talk to them about the use of their classrooms and their program in the afternoon. But as part of the larger picture of a Pre K TKK alignment opportunity, which again is really being spearheaded by Ann Mary Hoffa. Blah, blah, blah. Sorry, I said some of those things. So this is a sample of the responses from the survey that we got that gave us information about the number of Families who were interested in having their children attend the Pre K program in the afternoon. We didn't hear from everybody. And so Monday the second survey went out to say please let us know and by a certain date if you're interested because the places that are not filled by TK students in the Pre K, it's hard to say this will be filled by other kids. Right. Who just want to sign up for pre K. So but they're the priority in the after school programs are going to the TK students. Okay. I said so that. And so this is a copy of the plan and I'm. I know that you looked at is a not very interesting plan compared to the LCAP which was really much more of a narrative. This Pre K plan was a drop down from the state Department and we had to use this format. And so the options for responses were minimal and so we gave them minimal responses and there wasn't even room to add much more information except at the end. So we added more information at the very end where it said other questions to consider and that's where we put a little bit more of our own narrative because it wasn't a drop down. But what's going to happen with this plan is that it's for your information, it doesn't go anywhere yet. But we will be contacted by the CDE for information about our plan and how they can support us. And I just got that email today. So we'll be filling out a survey about their support of this work. Again just starting small but then as we move out over time how we, how we are looking at this early childhood kind of connected program Pre K through 3. So these are next steps. I said that we are looking at. One of the things that Ann is doing is working with the program that the Pre K is using for reading which is supported by the big Lift from San Mateo county office. And it's called Seeds. And we will probably be using that program because it's very appropriate for four year olds as early reading opportunities. It's not, not like benchmark reading series and the summer summer program I talked about, I talked about that, that all that and then there's a ton of information about the universal TK Pre K and it, it keeps getting updated all the time because this is a big priority for the governor and probably some, some strong advocacy there in Sacramento. And so there, this is a website for the people who are interested in more information about early childhood and there's more information that gets added to this daily and lots of cute pictures of kids in this. And so if there's any questions."},{"start":5286760,"end":5289080,"speaker":"A","text":"Thank you.

Moving on to 14.3 local indicators for the California School Dashboard. Thank you."},{"start":5403430,"end":5782050,"speaker":"B","text":"So thanks to Jenny Tran, who, again, can't be here tonight, but put this together. This is another requirement to go along with the lcap that it's part of our accountability measures to give you information about how we're being held accountable for results. And some of the results are based on test scores and information that's collected in calpads and that's represented in the dashboard. And we'll look at that in a minute. But other results we are expected to collect on our own because it's not. There's not a standardized way of collecting this data, and those are the local indicators. So it's been a while, probably since anyone here has looked at the California School Dashboard because it hasn't had anything on it for a few years. And so this year, it's not going to have much on it again. The only thing that was on it last year were our local indicators, which we presented at the end of the year along with the LCAP last year about certain state priorities. Those will be on it again this year with our own information and our own narrative. And there will be a little information around EL and around chronic absenteeism and suspensions. The CASP data Probably won't even be shown, may not even be ready at that time. And what will be shown on the dashboard, in addition to our local indicators, is only the status, only the initial information for this, for these other indicators, because there's nothing to compare it to. So there won't be colors. I don't know how much you all remember from, from a few years ago, but there's a lot of information on the dashboard about how it's about growth and about if there is growth and if there's not growth and it's based, you see the information by group, by student group. And so it's meant to be an equity look at how your district is doing. And if you're not doing particularly well for certain groups of students in certain subject areas and two or more indicators, then you get some additional help from the county office of education. Right. And so we're trying not to have that happen. So anyway, we won't know too much about that for another couple of years, most likely because they won't be able to measure the growth until we've had a couple years of data. But what they will be posting when the information is available is at least the status. And so that that's to come. And so what we'll be seeing first will be our local indicator data. And so the California Dashboard, I said this, what is, what's posted on the dashboard are these different areas, these different indicators where we measure the performance. And the six state indicators are the ones that I mentioned. That's the CASP data for English language arts and math. It's absenteeism, it's our English learner progress, and then it's the suspension rate. The bottom two circles there are just for high schools or county offices of ed, and they don't pertain to us. But the other, the local indicators. Every district is expected to measure this information in their own way. There are some areas of guidance around this kind of measurement and usually it's surveys, there's interviews, you know, that kind of thing. There's, there's not a particular exam or something that you can use to, to measure these indicators. The medic. The indicators are updated annually and the scoring is met or not met. Right. And so we kind of determine if we meet or don't meet them. And if we don't meet them for two years in a row, then we mark not met for two or more years. And that also can produce sanctions from the county office of education. So we try to avoid that. So we report this to the board in conjunction with the lcap and then we'll be putting it on the fall dashboard. And what we've linked in here now, and I don't think you had this earlier because we just put it together this afternoon, is the, the actual results of our staff survey so that you can see. And so we cut and pasted some of that into this report so that you can see the numbers and just, you know, full transparency. We only had about 55 teachers respond to the survey because it was at the same time as all our other surveys and our, you know, it was the end of the year survey. And so I think we need to think about how to do that differently next year Anyway, so this goes through the different standards and the different state priorities. So the state priority one is about basic service. And we at this point are not able to say met or not met. We feel like we're going to be able to say met, but we have to wait for the official release of the teacher misassignments, which in the past has been controlled by the Teacher Commission on Teacher Credentialing. But this year they turned it over to the CDE to do. And so the CDE is behind on this. And so they haven't given us our official word if we've met the criteria of 100% of our students. Our teachers are highly qualified, but we feel sure that they will be. But we haven't had the official word. And then the state academic standards, again, we can link to the staff survey here, but we cut some of this out so that you could see generally why we chose the average score for all of these items. So Here were the 52 teachers who responded by grade level, by grade level span. And generally most of them picked three or four right as their response to the question. And we didn't put in each of the questions because it's the exact same question for ela, the exact same question for eld, the exact same question for math. And so the numbers are pretty similar for each. And so this is just a sample of that. But you have the full survey if you want to take a look at that. So that it was around the professional development. This one is around are there sufficient instructional materials and are they being implemented? And again, it's kind of average. And this was around the policies and programs around standards based materials. And this was other things. And this is."},{"start":5782050,"end":5782490,"speaker":"C","text":"Aren't."},{"start":5782490,"end":5830950,"speaker":"B","text":"These aren't taking place at all grade levels. So these were primarily answered by teachers in the middle school, but that they said, yeah, and why. Mike had a question about what does it mean for initial implementation? Shouldn't we be farther along in our implementation on these? But I think those are the state terms. And for us it was just like the average. Right. And so most people said well yes, we are, but we had a few people said no, we're not doing anything. And a few people said yes, we're doing everything 100% right. So just kind of, we met, we met that standard. But it's information for us in terms of where we need to follow up and kind of look at how we can support the teachers or the sites or the grade levels that didn't score at least on an average for these responses. And so we do have that information."},{"start":5832230,"end":5841350,"speaker":"A","text":"Can I ask a question just before you move on? When you, you said middle school teachers, but we're still counting like 6, 7, 8 at K8 schools or is that."},{"start":5841590,"end":5916550,"speaker":"B","text":"Yes, but again, it wasn't a huge representation. Right, but so yes, but there were, there were, there were teachers from each school that responded to this. So yeah, K8s also. And then this is a support for teachers and administrators around the implementation of academic standards. And again you see an example of kind of the spread, but that the majority of people responded three and four, although we had a larger number of people at. Who scored one. And so that's information for us to take a look at and see where we need to more fully support the interactions between teachers and administrators. And so then we also are the state priority three is around parent involvement and family engagement. And we relied on our information from the Panorama climate survey because we also attempted to give another survey to parents. Some of you who are at the. I believe we did it at the LCAP meeting. We asked people, yeah, the LCAP meeting to please take this assessment to give us a little bit more feedback around involvement and engagement. And I think only like seven people filled it out."},{"start":5916550,"end":5916790,"speaker":"D","text":"Right."},{"start":5916790,"end":5963260,"speaker":"B","text":"So we, we use that information. But we had a much larger percentage of families respond to the Panorama survey. So we look through the Panorama survey and pulled out to the, the questions that were aligned with these particular standards. And again we said that they were on an average of, you know, average the initial implementation. Yet there were some areas of great strength. Right. So we want to pull that out as well. And so this will probably go into the write up that we put on the, on the dashboard. So we have 77% of our families responding favorably to thinking that their students enjoy going to school and 84%."},{"start":5963660,"end":5964060,"speaker":"A","text":"Right."},{"start":5964460,"end":6099460,"speaker":"B","text":"How much respect do you think the teachers at your child's school have for their children. So very, very high scores in this. And so we can call that out, but not all of them are high. Right. So we want to, you know, accentuate the positive but also be realistic about the responses. And then these were around building partnerships for student outcomes. We had very, you know, high responses to the administrators creating a school environment that helps their children learn. But then as you remember from last week, I think it was they're not interacting in person right at school. And there's a reason for that. We didn't allow that to happen until later in the school year. And so that reflects, it reflects in these responses seeking input for decision making. Also very high scores that we can call out in terms of the families who responded to questions that were similar to this on the Panorama survey and school climate. We use the Panorama survey to measure that. And so again information about that grade six to eight. So you've seen this from last time. The broad course of study means that students have access. This is primarily I think for students in the upper grades where in some places if students this was happening locally but isn't happening so much anymore where students who were ELs were in a certain track and they didn't get to have electives or were able to take a to G courses. For example in a high school here this doesn't happen here. Right. So students who have additional support needs, have an additional class but they're still taking a full course of study. And so it's not replacing something for them. And so this just lists those and then this will be, this is kind of the overview of the, the different priorities and the metrics that were used and the wording that will be inserted into the, the dashboard and that's it."},{"start":6105140,"end":6106980,"speaker":"C","text":"We're allowed to use a Panorama survey?"},{"start":6107460,"end":6132660,"speaker":"B","text":"Yeah, yeah, you can use. They don't give you anything to use. Right. You. There's some suggestions for the kinds of questions you could ask on the survey but there's no requirement for a particular way to measure any of these things. So anything that makes sense that we can measure with to get this information is fine. It's not like you have to use a CASP test. It's more open ended."},{"start":6137700,"end":6139300,"speaker":"A","text":"Are there any questions?"},{"start":6141470,"end":6155150,"speaker":"C","text":"Thanks for adding the additional information with a little bit of the details behind the survey.

No other questions."},{"start":6156270,"end":6180040,"speaker":"A","text":"And then I just have more like I guess question comment. I know that all the questions are very important but have we ever thought of maybe if we were to reduce the number of questions, if perhaps more people would be more lenient to actually answer fewer questions rather than go through, you know, a whole bunch of. I mean, I didn't count how many exactly there were, but."},{"start":6190040,"end":6207630,"speaker":"B","text":"Thank you. Sorry. We can talk with Panorama about limiting the number of questions. It depends on what it is that we want to know. Right. And so I think we can take a look at that next year before we send it out if it. And maybe eliminate some. If there are items on there that feel like we don't need to know."},{"start":6208030,"end":6228980,"speaker":"A","text":"And again, I do understand that all questions are very important, but maybe if we really look and maybe we could even if we just take, I don't know, three or, you know, two, three, four, you know, it would make a big difference where staff members, you know, again, take the time to actually answer questions. It might be easier for them to answer five than ten. Right. Because it just takes a little longer. So just. Just the thoughts."},{"start":6229540,"end":6269020,"speaker":"B","text":"So the way Panorama. Panorama works, it's you. You choose the category that you want the questions in. So it could be school safety, it could be. I don't even remember what the categories are. But then you have to have all the questions that are within that. You can't pick and choose the questions. So Elisa and I sat on. There was a. I don't know what we called it, survey committee when we first started using Panorama, and we spent a lot of time on this, there were a lot of questions when we first started, we pared it down a ton. So I don't know how many categories we ask now. Do you know, off the top of your head? I would say maybe seven or eight. Oh, it's still that many?"},{"start":6269020,"end":6269300,"speaker":"D","text":"Okay."},{"start":6269300,"end":6277720,"speaker":"B","text":"Yeah, it's quite a. Still quite a few.
