It's actually nice to see a full house after a very long time. So welcome, everyone. And then just a few things. So for those that need translation. Sinecita traduction, por favor. Llame al nueve siete ocho, nueve, nueve, cero cinco uno, tres, siete y precione Ocho tres, siete, siete, cerro, cuatro uno y el signo. The numero. If you're speaking to the board, the public is encouraged to speak to the board on issues and concerns, whether or not the issue is or are on the agenda. To address the board, please complete a speaker's card at the entrance and give it to the assistant here. Evelyn. And if you wish to speak to the board on a subject that is on the agenda, you will be called to the podium at the time the item is being considered by the board. If the item is not on the agenda, you will be called to the podium. During oral communication, public comments are limited to three minutes. However, because we do have a lot of people, I do want to just go over and read really quickly. The board bylaw 93. 23, it says that individual speakers should be allowed three minutes. Between one and 10 people that wish to address any topic, the board may elect to allow three minutes. Should 11 to 20 people wish to address any topic, the board may elect to allow two minutes per speaker. Should more than 20 people wish to address any topic, the board may elect to allow three. I mean, I'm sorry, one minute per speaker. With board consent, the president may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation. So at this time, obviously, when oral communication comes in, we will know how many people actually want to speak. And then, let's see. Are there any changes to the agenda?"},{"start":152200,"end":156320,"speaker":"C","text":"I wanted to the board policy committee we met this week and we need"},{"start":156320,"end":179960,"speaker":"D","text":"to pull a 9.2, which is the health and welfare benefits.

I am just astounded that such a diamond or jewel. I'm not sure language exists within the red. I know all the other programs are wonderful, but nothing quite matches the academic like rigor. The levels that are way above state levels, like when touring other schools are like, well, we teach to the state levels and like, you know, kindergarten, like, they're counting to like 20. And then like most children in the Bay Area, you can count above, out and above.

I'd like to speak out in support of expansion of the TK and kindergarten programs. I was lucky enough to grow up in a bilingual household. I've come to realize that a lot of the values and standards that I aspire to, like open mindedness, intellectual curiosity, empathy for others, I think have strong underpinnings in an early childhood immersion in more than one language. I, as an adult, I didn't appreciate this at the time. I mostly complain about having to go to Chinese school and my parents didn't speak a good English. But as an adult, I feel like language is fundamental to the human experience of connection. And the more we are exposed to the many forms that this connection can take, I think we. We gain a broader understanding of ourselves and of each other. So I hope we can expand the Mandarin immersion program at Orion. I ask you guys to do to.

Hello. And first of all, thank you so much for the work that you do. I really appreciate you guys being here as school board members. It's a lot of work and you don't get much. Thanks. So thank you. So my problem is, first of all, with the number of classes, but also, more importantly, with the lottery itself, which I believe is not fair to all children in our district. Specifically, there's the Odyssey Preschool, which is on the site of the Orion campus. If you go to that school, you pretty much automatically get admitted to the kindergarten and the TK program. I did not know that. I don't know how many other parents in this room knew that. Odyssey Preschool costs seventeen hundred dollars a month. I don't know how many people can afford that. I know for our family, it was prohibitive with two students. The other issue I have with the lottery is the TK preference. I understand that a lot of people are here trying to get into the TK program. My child is going into kindergarten, summer birthday. Not eligible for kindergarten for tk. These people in this room, if they get into TK or if they're allowed to remain on that wait list next year. Who is going to be in that kindergarten class? Only the students in tk There will not be spaces for other students. If you have two TK classes. That's not fair to half the students in Redwood City. So I just want you to keep that in mind and reform the lottery so that it's equal for every child or make more classes. Thank you.

Tier two, more leveled support and then needier supports for. For level three. So I'm going to be going over goal one, Patty will be doing goal two. I'll come back at goal three. Then we get more of the fun stuff with school events, parent engagement, student voice, community school. So Jose gets more of the fun slides at the end of the report. So in goal one, we're talking about something, I think we do a very good job of creating a supportive, positive, safe learning environment at the school and in our classrooms. And really the story, if we're telling our story, was about three and a half years ago, started when the schools came together, Adelante and Selby and prior to the pandemic and we had to quickly unite ourselves under immersion and the dual immersion model and that vision that our students will be fully bilingual, passing the AP test in high school, getting all those metacognitive benefit, cognitive benefits and being able to participate in a, in a global society. And we needed to get to know each other. So that's kind of this area."},{"start":3028650,"end":3029050,"speaker":"E","text":"Right."},{"start":3029130,"end":3055500,"speaker":"I","text":"So we had an emphasis on building relationships from day one. Creating classroom communities where we get to know each other, talk about our feelings, using the casel framework, establishing peace corners every single classroom. We're moving right along. And then Covid hit, you remember March 13, Friday. And we all sent home and then we had to come back again."},{"start":3055580,"end":3055980,"speaker":"E","text":"Right."},{"start":3056380,"end":3257600,"speaker":"I","text":"Just last year, quite honestly last April. And we had to do a lot of that stuff all over again. So I think in terms of tier one and then we have to. So we're looking at our discipline and our attendance in this area. Those are the data points. Tier one, what we do, I think started to talk about it. I got a little bit ahead of myself. This focus on building relationships starts day one. Number one. It's the caring teaching staff. I like to say we have warm demanders. We're warm since need to know. We love them, but we're also pushing them and being rigorous in our expectations and community building. I talked about already when you talk about discipline or expectations. We have a strong PBIS program at the school with clear expectations for the students. Their alebrijes or the alebrijes are expected to be safe, responsible, respectful, friendly and caring and focused and ready to learn. So boom, we can catch you being good. Good job. Thank you for being respectful. They get that Alarija ticket instead of stop doing that, stop doing that. We want to catch more students being good. That's kind of the quick idea. And then we do have behavior problems. Not a ton of them, but when they happen, we have a referral to Patti or myself. Typically because something happened, we talk with our students. We have them do a reflection page. We might have a mediation where they use imessages and talk out the problem. We might have to call their parents to tell them what happened and they might have some kind of consequence. So that's kind of our, our system for managing behavior at the school. Those are all tier one strategies. A lot more as you can see in the SPSA, the formal SPSA, Tier 2 last year, one of the great things with the COVID money we got a full time counselor. So having Vicki Neves, who's a former wonderful kindergarten teacher, she's very visible. And then through our MTSS leadership team, we have referrals for students that need more support. So she's established a number of different groups, small groups in around different areas so grief, somebody's a death in the family or a family friend, they're really suffering from that trauma. They can go to a group divorce, anger management, anxiety, those kinds of things. So those are kind of examples of a tier 2. We also added with COVID money, an LCAP money, a part time TOSA that's in charge of MTSS. So when teachers are struggling with behavior, students not moving in the right direction, she can help teachers set up parent meetings. That would be the first protocol. Right. Possibly leading into student study team meetings, 504 meetings if they have a medical reason for not moving in the right direction. And that's what her job is. Tier 3, we actually have a great partnership with one life and we have a therapist. So she delivers actual one on one therapy for our needier students."},{"start":3258480,"end":3259360,"speaker":"E","text":"Go ahead, Liz."},{"start":3261200,"end":3279870,"speaker":"I","text":"So I don't believe in suspensions, quite honestly, unless it's something very egregious.

Every that students feel there's at least one caring adult. You know, they have a strong relationship with them. And I believe strongly it's not just teachers. And we have wonderful teachers.

Mediators. They've just finished their, their training and they're going to be out there. They're taking it very seriously to help out at recess times during fourth and fifth grade lunchtime. And also there's an overlap there where they can go out during the second and third grade lunchtime because that the unstructured time is where we have more of the discipline problems. So they're, they're really psyched and we were hoping to see that change. Now you go on to the next one. Okay, so attendance, big surprise. We did not meet this goal last year. In the context of COVID right. We were staying home. 28% of our students were chronically absent last year. I don't think that's a surprise. A number of teachers were absent. Myself was, you know, we were absent last year. We were told to stay home."},{"start":3385720,"end":3385960,"speaker":"E","text":"Right."},{"start":3385960,"end":3425050,"speaker":"I","text":"With.

I do want to point out on this slide though in it's really between tier one and tier two because it's not everyone that can access it. But we have more students in extended day learning or I used to call them after school programs, but now I'm told they're called extended day learning program. Always changing things. We have three great partnerships, right. So we have the Reach program, YMCA and Siennau Center. So over 300 students can be in a safe place until 6 o'."},{"start":3425050,"end":3425250,"speaker":"E","text":"Clock."},{"start":3425250,"end":3446290,"speaker":"I","text":"And I think that really has helped attendance, believe it or not and some other things because the parents don't have to, you know, keep their kid, you know, they have to leave work. They can leave their kid at school all day until 6, 6 o' clock in a. In a safe place. So I think that's really helped us in this area. So phone calls, you can read all of that. I'm not going to get into that."},{"start":3446290,"end":3446570,"speaker":"E","text":"So."},{"start":3446570,"end":3525700,"speaker":"I","text":"So next slide I think I wanted to show and highlight that I did a little ran a report in PowerSchool just for January. So last year in January versus this year in January. So last year in January the whole school 86% attendance. This January just completed 96% attendance. So you know, I'm knocking on wherever the wood is so that this continues and then chronic absences, which is what the target in this area. Nine or more last school year, August through January, 86 students to this year. From the beginning of the year till the end of January, 22 students. So this. We're moving in the right direction in terms of what we're considering changing because we know there are families for a variety of different reasons that still struggle. Even though we see Covid numbers decrease in the community coming to school daily, which they need to doing home visits. So that's one of the things we're looking at. And attendance awards. So something positive. So I think that's my section. I probably talked a little bit too long, but thank you. And here's Patty to talk about English language learner Progress."},{"start":3528170,"end":3628560,"speaker":"B","text":"Hi there. Good evening. My name is Patricia Alcocer. I'm the assistant principal of Adelantes selby. So goal two is centered around our English Learners, or ELs, making yearly progress with the goal of reclassifying within to English proficient within five years. We did not make our overall goal, however, we did have 120 students that made one or more years growth in. In on the LPAC. There are many opportunities for us to grow in this goal and in this area. We just had a reclassification ceremony on last Monday where we had 25 students reclassify. And talking to Leslie Danelli, we have a couple more that are coming down the pike. So that's exciting for us. And our reclassification for the ELs within five years, spring of 2022, we did have 23 students, which is 10%. Our target for spring 2023 is going to be 35 students, which is 15%. In talking with Warren about this, we actually saw that by the time we administer the LPAC and the standard or the S back, the state test the students take, they're not able to actually reclassify as Adelante Selby students because it carries on to the next year. So we were looking at the program, so we're like, how many of these are ours? And we found about 14 students that reclassified as sixth graders. Yeah. After leaving our school. Go to the next slide. Thank you, Liz. Which is within. Yes, the five years. Thank you."},{"start":3628640,"end":3635680,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah, I was just saying if, you know, if they come to us in first grade.

So anyway, that's great news. Yeah, thank you."},{"start":3640930,"end":3713610,"speaker":"B","text":"And going to our tiered system here in tier one, our immersion program is a 9010 model. So 90% in the targeted language, 10% in English. To meet the needs of all the students, we do have designated ELD time TK through third grade, they teach the SEAL units, the somatic units, and the third through fifth grade also work with the NUA to scaffold support in thinking maps and student voice. For tier two, we do have pull out small groups that support reading intervention in the lower grades in Spanish to help with that targeted language. We also. They also help with the newcomers and our level one students. We do have a great relationship with friends with youth. El Centro de Libertad to help with the transition of these newcomers from their native land to the United States and help with any trauma that they may be endured on the journey. Also in tier three, which is the one on one counseling, the care, solace, community, the community based referral that also is to help address any trauma or anything those parents need in the transition to the United States."},{"start":3713930,"end":3717250,"speaker":"C","text":"You can go to the next. Oh, you can go to the next. Yeah."},{"start":3717250,"end":3717690,"speaker":"E","text":"Thank you."},{"start":3718890,"end":3800940,"speaker":"B","text":"So again, the strategies that are working is having that designated ELD time, the explicit instruction to help with the. With the LPAC testing. We know this because we had 25 students reclassify with a couple more according to Leslie, that we're hoping. Reclassify what we. The strategies that aren't working right now is that we're. We get a lot of students that are newcomers in the upper grades and sometimes they don't come with all the literacy skills at that level to be able to transfer from their native language into English. And looking at the absenteeism, if they're not here consistently, then they're not making the growth in English. So what we're considering changing is since we have welcomed 20 newcomer students to our school since August with another newcomer starting on Tuesday. Actually we are looking for a Newcomer instructional assistant. We did have one at the beginning of the year, but there was a need at another school. So that was. She was pulled from our school. So we think this is just important in order to help those students move towards reclassification within those. Within the 5 yearly growth, but then reclassifying within. Within the 5. So I'll pass it back to Warren."},{"start":3804860,"end":3806380,"speaker":"I","text":"Good job. How are we doing on our time?"},{"start":3806940,"end":3808060,"speaker":"E","text":"You took it all."},{"start":3808380,"end":3809500,"speaker":"I","text":"The clock's not going to go off."},{"start":3809500,"end":3810700,"speaker":"D","text":"You took it all in the first goal."},{"start":3811100,"end":3812420,"speaker":"I","text":"I took it all on the first goal."},{"start":3812420,"end":3812740,"speaker":"E","text":"All right."},{"start":3812740,"end":3813660,"speaker":"I","text":"Great job, Patty."},{"start":3814710,"end":3815270,"speaker":"E","text":"So goal."},{"start":3816790,"end":3817150,"speaker":"F","text":"Yeah."},{"start":3817150,"end":4063450,"speaker":"I","text":"Don't, don't, don't. Okay, so goal three is progress in reading and in math. So we're looking at iret. Go back one so I can remember what I'm saying. We look at IREADY as it's our formative assessment. So we take it three times a year for. To measure our reading growth and our math growth. And then third through fifth graders take the CASP test at the end of the year. So I would go ahead. You can go to the next slide. We have lots of opportunities to improve with our state test scores. We were able to meet a number of our formative goals last year in second through fourth grade in terms of percentages that we had set the school site council moving more students into what I call the green at or above grade level in reading and decreasing the number that were two grade levels below in the red. We did not meet that goal in math, however, with a formative assessment. And that is a major concern that we have this year and going into next year. We were able to meet the goals moving the students out of far below basic in the I ready but not meeting the the goal of the percents moving into the green at or above grade level on the formative assessments. So in setting targets with the school sites council and developing the site plan, we're on iready. We feel a little more confident, a little bit more aggressive with our targets. So you can see they're a little bit higher. When we moved to casp, if you move, I think it's the next slide or one after this next one we looked at 5% improvement. So it's a little bit more conservative because we feel like we're showing more growth on the I ready formative assessment than the state test. So that's how we established our targets. And you can see there's a lot of. I keep saying it. Opportunities for growth in math in particular. Go to the next slide, please. So Patti talked a little bit around our dual immersion model and district wide a number of years ago the platinum ticket was basically how we divide the school day and how we're teaching reading, math, social studies, science and eldest. So we're still following that. I know in our meetings with Liz, principals are looking at a new kind of way agreements among all the schools. So we're all teaching the same way. So I know this might be changing, but this is what we're using. This is our plan currently. And then Patti touched on this. We in TK through third grade we teach integrated units. We were a demonstration site earlier, previous years and there's a heavy focus on teaching academic vocabulary language in a thematic way. So they do five to six week units. They switch between social studies and science themes and it works well. And then we've had a great partnership. And I think a number of schools in the district have really benefited from National Urban Alliance. So in the last two years we've had them working and this year started with third grade, started last year with fourth and fifth grade and added third grade. And they've been great with their different strategies. Learning strategies, we call them high operational practices. The hops to try to instill the hips, the high intellectual performance."},{"start":4064890,"end":4065330,"speaker":"E","text":"That's."},{"start":4065330,"end":4431060,"speaker":"I","text":"That's what, that's how I remember it and that's how they say it. So we had Robert Price just at the school site on, on Tuesday and he was wonderful. He was showing different strategies, different maps. And then they had, they're different doing different language functions. They were opinion and fact. And that might sound somewhat hard for some people to distinguish. But he had the students thinking them out. And then he, he's like huddle up, let me see a couple of your journals. And then he grabbed a journal and then they just try to think out loud how to do the writing, how to take the information from the map to writing. So I think it just lets all the students that are at different levels access the content and, and organize their thinking. So I think it's really good. I'm probably talking too much now on that. And then we're using iReady in the last couple years. This is something Liz Wolf brought in as our assistant superintendent. And iready really helps us to differentiate. So they, when they take the assessment it'll put them at a level and then they take 60 to 100 minutes right at their level moving forward. And at the same time the teachers can assign lessons that are the grade level that they're, that they're teaching the grade level standards so they can assign those lessons as well. So that's all tier one. There's a lot of other stuff there obviously that we could not include. I do want to call your attention on this slide to tier two. We have a very, I would say robust reading intervention program. A lot of our site, budget and plan is really based around providing extra support for students in reading intervention and first through fifth grades. We have 121 students benefiting from that. And speaking with intervention teachers today, I just want to get a gauge. 90 of the 121 have made significant progress since the beginning of the year. So it's really important keep them motivated and also accelerate their growth is the goal. And looking at the math data this year we also did some creative thinking with some of the staffing to provide some math intervention support as well. So that's a new thing this year. So 55 students right now are in third through fifth grade because they're going to take the state test at the end of the year. Are getting some additional support. And we also, I'm very proud to say leveraging some of the partnerships with Menlo school and parent volunteers have after school math tutoring going on for, for some of our reach students in third through fifth grade that we've seen good results. And then tier three just need your students typically go through student study team meetings, 504s if they have a medical concern could lead into an IEP because they have a learning demonstrated learning disability. And then they have goals set to their IEP with RSP pull out or mainstream and support in the classroom. So we have seen, although we didn't meet our goals in this area, we had seen some good progress this school year. In Iready reading, there was a. There's been a 13% improvement since the beginning of the year in students at or above grade level and a 10% improvement which is more difficult, I feel, to move students from two grade levels below up out of that level. And then in mass similar trend. 9% improvement of students improving at the green I call it at or above grade level and a 13% improvement which is more significant I would say moving students out of the far below two grade levels or below in math. So again, I said it I think three times during the section. Math continues to be a challenge. I think that next year we'll have a new adoption. Right, Liz? And we have. We're lucky to have two teachers that are serving on the textbook adoption committee. And I'm hopeful that they will be the leaders next year and we'll all kind of be on the same page and a lot more focus on. On math in general to see. See what we can do. Conclusion. It's not the conclusion. Now we get some more of the. The more fun stuff. So I love this stuff. If anyone knows me, I like to build community. I think it's great to provide memorable experiences for the students that they'll never forget and also bring parents back to school. So remember last year they couldn't even set foot on the campus. So this year we've already had some. A couple of successful events. And just a few of them here you can see in some of the pictures. Just it's a great school community. And that's not me on the slide, that's me on the video. Okay, so one of the new, the wonderful events last spring and we're planning again is the science fair. We're all third through fifth graders do a presentation and we have some great parent volunteers that got a grant. And we actually, they were talking last night at the Unidos meeting about possibly expanding it to other schools, which is exciting because they have an equity lens. And then everyone is invited to our Dia del Nino event at the end of the year. It's, it's a, it's a great event to teach cultural condition about culture, but also just about a school community and a district and a city community event."},{"start":4431380,"end":4432340,"speaker":"E","text":"So.

Oh, we can do 19 first if you want the student voice. So at our school we really one of our focus is building and making sure our school does feel like a true community. This is the second year that Adelante Selby is a full time community school. A community school and that's where I came in. This is my second year in this role. So one of our my main focus is student voice. Some way we go about this, it's like Warren mentioned student council and through student council we do the peer mediators through there. Also students are able to vote for their once a month spirit days. So if you see these pictures, there's all these activities we do during the day or do it throughout the year. We have our spirit day. One of our students did a whole paint thing on her head last year we did a kindness week for every day of the week. We'd had different challenges. We built different packets for the teachers to decide what they wanted to do in the classroom. And then during lunch we did the Adelante lift each other up mural outside the Warren's office. And every student was able to do a balloon of kindness words to each other. I picked one on the corner that says even in a bad day, be happy that you're alive because you're a beauty. So I kept a few of those and put around the family center we have down below we have the every Thursday we do the Alebrije. They pull tickets and then students win their responsible friendly carrying bracelets. Just to name a few of the activities we have where we empower the students voices. And I'm gonna read you one of the quotes for one of our fifth graders that said Adelante Selby has awesome and helpful people. Everyone here helps each other out without giving it a second thought and we can go on to the next slide. So parent outreach. We love to have our parents on campus. So we do that through there's way. There's a lot of different ways we. We invite our parents to be leaders, our school to take part in the decision making and even just events just to name a few. We have the traditional three pto SSC and elac, all that meet once a month. We do from field trips, take home reading programs, math tutoring. We invite our parents to be active participants in every day of the of our school day. And our PTO this year funded what we call the Parent PTO Fingerprint Fund. So they set aside money to help offset our families pay for their fingerprints so they can be clear volunteers. So right now we're about 200 parents that are cleared to be on campus, field trips in classroom. So we have a huge number of parents that we have that we can tap into to be there every day. So we also have constant communication. Our, our principals newsletter that goes out every other week. That's alternate with the PTO newsletter Facebook page we're constantly posting on there. We have thanks to Blackboard, we have our text emails and phone calls that go out to all of our families. So they're very aware of what's going on on campus every single day. Sorry. So we have a lot of partnerships on our campus. So one, like through One Life and Familia Unidas, we're able to contact our families and invite them to participate in all these parent either support groups or parent leadership groups. And the family center where we, where I'm at, we do constant personal calls and emails to our families when we find something that they could be a perfect match for. We know our families. That's one thing that I'm really proud of that I, I love knowing all my students and knowing what could benefit them. And I have that liberty to see them every day and know, hey, this program's coming up. Let's come up with a list of 20 kids, 30 kids. And I tap into them, the front office, the teachers, and we make sure that those calls go out. So we create those personal relationships with our families and we can go to the next slide. And this is where you see the bulk of the families on our work. So like Warren said, our extended learning and outreach opportunities and enrichment. We have about 14 programs on campus every single day. They alternate between Reach, YMCA and Siena, which are the extended learning opportunities. But we also have enrichment like Peninsula Bridge, Friends for Youth or Girls Start, which is esteemed program director for girls. We have our girl choir, I sing. We have garden dance, just to name some of the few things that are happening on our campus. Just today, YMCA had martial arts going on and next door we had the STEM club. So it was like a big. The backlog was full of different activities and I had math tutoring going on in one room. So it's nice to see that the kids had a lot of options to do throughout after school. Migrant education. We do have a few students that are part of the migrant education and they get services throughout the year and during the summer. And then our family Net services. Our biggest one being Second Harvest. We help about 500 families every single month and format. What I hear from Second Harvest we're the biggest distribution site and Redwood City School District and tomorrow we'll be out there twice a month. Yeah. Second and fourth Thursday of every month. Housing and medical referrals, we refer them out to the Fair Oaks Community center or whatever other resources we have. Fair Oaks is usually our number one to go to. We also have a partnership with Operation School Belt that provides uniforms and backpacks for our students. So far this year we had about 115 students receive full clothing for school pants, polos, sweatshirts, sweatpants and backpacks. School supplies. Atherton PD is one of our huge partners for the holidays and this year we're able to have 144 of our kids come by and receive Christmas presents for the year. We're up 40 from last year. So it was 104 last year, 144 this year. So we're hoping that every year we keep growing through our partnership with Redwood City together. Last year we piloted the Way to Go Clipper card program. So 75 of our students received Clipper cards for 15 months. They were able to go on any public transportation that led into creating which was the Youth Unlimited bus passes that are now expanded to whole other schools. Right now we have 104 of our students completely free bus passes for 12 months and out of those, 89 of those go to Sienna center in the bus so they get to go for complete for free. That is just some of our our day to day at Valente Sabio Community School. Thank you. I'm going to hand it back to Warren."},{"start":4841160,"end":4941610,"speaker":"I","text":"Concluding Comments so I think one of the things that's missing that we lost I think about three years ago was having an on site instructional coach. I think when we were working on implementing stronger guided reading strategies and learning about guided reading and how to move kids forward, having somebody on campus that could work with our teachers and model best practices and also help with our SEAL implementation was very, very powerful. So that's something that's missing even a 0.5 person. I think in the areas of math, ELD and reading would be the areas that I would would. I think all the schools would benefit for. We need an ELD curriculum District wide Ms. Danieli is aware of that. We need it. I think any curriculum though should be aligned to what the teachers are teaching in their units. So there's some schema, there's some background knowledge. It's not just separated. So I think that's important district wide, not just for our school. Patty talked about, you know, we have newcomers coming all the time. We love newcomers. But they do need additional support particularly for eld particularly at a dual immersion in a dual immersion program. So that's one area that we want more support."},{"start":4944020,"end":4944260,"speaker":"B","text":"Math."},{"start":4944260,"end":5022320,"speaker":"I","text":"I talked about. I think just in general we need more training in PD around math next year. Probably district wide. Not just at our school. Tk which I heard a lot of interest in tonight and I've been getting a lot at. At my school as well. They have a 12 to 1 ratio. I don't know if the board is aware of that or parents are aware of that. Parents like that. Which means they have to have two adult. It's 24 to one class size. So when the instructional assistant. The good news is they get an instructional assistant all day long when they're absent or the teachers. We have to get subs in there. It's been very much of a struggle this year. We're all. So I know I'm coming to the wizard of Oz here asking for everything. But that's something I think that needs to be kept in mind with tk. I do think it's sixth grade. It prepares them to be the leaders in the. In the kinder the following year, whatever school they're at. Steam. We didn't get a chance to talk about steam. That has been one of the best new things we have at Adelante Selby this year. All this other stuff that's going on STEAM has been wonderful. We use our Measure U funds to fund a 0.5 position. We would love to have a full time position."},{"start":5022480,"end":5023040,"speaker":"E","text":"It's just."},{"start":5023720,"end":5080130,"speaker":"I","text":"And I would encourage you to come visit the program. Come on campus and see David Hopper in action. So that's something. And students and parents and principal would humbly like our swings returned. They were taken down from one day to the next without any notice in November. So you know, that kind of goes to goal one, right. We want kids moving around, doing things fun at recess time. Apparently there's something with the hinges according to Martin. But I'm humbling asking. And we want our tetherball courts back that were removed three years ago. So when they put in the solar panels which are great. We love the solar panels. Just we want kids to have more things to do at when they're outside during unstructured times. So I don't think it's that expensive. So hopefully that could happen. And I think that's my report."},{"start":5081330,"end":5096290,"speaker":"E","text":"Our report. We have questions. Yes, stay up there. And your. And your staff. Stay there. So it's up, it's open."},{"start":5101410,"end":5164600,"speaker":"G","text":"So first off. Thank you. Is great presentation. I'm just going to go right down in not any particular order some of my reactions. So first off, I love the student peer supports. I think that's really fantastic. Engaging students actively in the construction of their school is empowering and effective and so great to see you putting that to play. Amazing numbers on suspensions and the progress on absenteeism. That takes real work and boy those numbers really show it. So fantastic job there. Wonderful to see home visits as something that you're looking at for an intervention that that's a proven intervention. So it makes me really happy to see data driven interventions at play here. I'm going to be a little bit of a broken record on this. This is not particular to you, this is particular to every school in the district. But the el reclassification data doesn't answer the question about whether or not every student that is an English learner is advancing one year per calendar year. I'm just seeing the distributions. I know need to see the data presented in a way that lets me know whether or not we're actually hitting our targets."},{"start":5164600,"end":5187590,"speaker":"I","text":"Yeah, we, we. I think Patty said it and I think I responded in an email to John to, to relay information. We did not meet that goal. Yeah, yeah, we did not meet that goal that every student. I think we had 120 that that met the goal or, or increased that there were 120 there but that meant there was about 160 or so that stayed the same. That didn't meet the goal."},{"start":5187590,"end":5188550,"speaker":"E","text":"Yeah. So yeah."},{"start":5189030,"end":5214890,"speaker":"G","text":"Thank you for sharing that. Ideally in presentations like this where we're trying to answer the question, the answer is provided in such a form factor that it does answer the question. So it's great that the data is there. And similarly for the iready data the, the linked deck does answer like the distribution of how our students advancing. I'd love to see like that be a center point of our presentations in terms of how our students advancing. And this is because students come to different schools at different levels."},{"start":5214890,"end":5215250,"speaker":"E","text":"Right."},{"start":5215250,"end":5315230,"speaker":"G","text":"So some students may come to a school three grade levels behind and if the school can in one calendar year advance that student to only be one calendar, only one grade level. Behind. So if they go up two levels in one year, that's huge. That's amazing. So we should be celebrating something like that. And conversely, for school, the hard work, right, that's very hard work. That's incredibly hard. Challenging, yes, very challenging. And then conversely, schools that have very high performing students that are ingested need to continue making progress on that. Can't just camp at their Laura. So anyhow, thank you for your progress on that on math. I think like some real clear work is needed here. And so whatever the district can do to support you. Because having was it 10% of students at or above grade level, it's just not okay. And having only about a third of the students advancing 1:1 level in the years, like is really not good. So we need to figure out a strategy as a district for teaching math that is different than what we're doing now because the current approach doesn't seem to be working. I'm not saying I have an answer, but like this seems pretty broken and our students deserve better than that. On the fingerprint fund. That's totally awesome. And that makes me think, is there something that we should be doing as a district? Because it is in the district's interest for parents to be able to volunteer and participate on campus. So I mean, that's amazing that your PTO did that, but it's also a little sad that your PTO had to do it. It'd be really nice if the district could find ways to have a fingerprinting fund that we set aside a little something. Maybe have mass enrollment fingerprinting days for people who want to volunteer for the district. Things to make it very easy to lower the barrier for participating because I want to have more of our schools doing stuff."},{"start":5315230,"end":5352050,"speaker":"I","text":"Yeah, I'm really proud actually of the. I'm glad you brought that up. The Anita's parent group has had this equity lens they were very strong on. I remember during distance learning trying to create pods for underserved families that didn't have any. Anybody watching kids at home. And to this year wanting to get more, you know, pay if people want to volunteer, pay the $85 fee for fingerprinting. It right. Started right at May's debut. The week before school started, we were, we were doing that at May Day.

It was good to hear about what's going on at Adelante. Selby enjoyed the pictures at the end. I like the Music man pictures slideshow that you had included in there. So you didn't get to touch on it. So thanks for that. I like to thank you for deep diving a little bit on what the mental health counselors were doing in your goal one and how that was really supporting in the different cases that are in there. I think that's, you know, important for us to keep reflecting on because, you know, that was coming out of COVID dollars and I think that's something that we have to figure out how to continue going forward. So the more we hear about that, the better. I also liked hearing about the. Whatever the extended learning opportunities are today with partners with reach, ymca, et cetera, and how you see that as an affecting attendance. That's something that I think is a great opportunity for us. I had two questions. I'm not going to add on more with what David already brought up, but just two questions that maybe you can touch on just a little bit in the Goal two. One is the need for an ELD curriculum. Because I think we heard that before at other schools. I think we have one. So I think it's really a question of maybe a new one or a revamped one. But could you."},{"start":5456930,"end":5457810,"speaker":"I","text":"Yeah, you are."},{"start":5457810,"end":5460130,"speaker":"H","text":"Or maybe Liz."},{"start":5460850,"end":5556150,"speaker":"I","text":"I can. Or I could defer to Liz if you. So benchmark. And in Spanish it's called ironically, Adelante, of course, is our. Our textbook. Right. For. For teaching language arts. And there is a portion of that that has some eldest lessons and support, but it's not a. It's not a standalone curriculum. So I think what I've seen over the years, teachers are super busy. They do a lot of planning and intentionality around teaching of reading and, believe it or not, math and. And other things that they're doing. I think ELD is, is an area that it would be nice to have something that they don't have to do a lot of planning and that would. But I really want it to go with our theme so it makes sense. So there's some, some schema there. I don't know if I'm talking too much. Educate, education, ease, if that's a word. But I feel like it is a real need. I also appreciate Leslie Danielle. She came out and did some staff development with, with our, with our faculty this year around best practices for Eldritch and also reminding teachers in lesson plans to try to incorporate some of the LPAC question stems which we weren't all doing. So I think that'll help. But I don't know if that answers the question. Liz, if you want to chime in."},{"start":5557510,"end":5609780,"speaker":"C","text":"So the question about ELD curriculum has come up before and has been a concern for sometime this year. And so Leslie has taken a couple of people with her to county office showings of curriculum, has looked at stuff online, has had different, you know, samples sent and nothing has been a really good match to what we need right now. And it's super old. And so we're looking to see there is some free curriculum out there. So we're taking a look at that. And as Warren said, we're trying to find some materials that aren't a standalone, completely isolated from everything else that we're doing. And so it's kind of a hard thing that we're looking for, which is something new aligned with our integrated units and our themes, yet a good viable curriculum. So we are looking and we haven't found anything yet, but we're still looking."},{"start":5612100,"end":5612540,"speaker":"E","text":"Got it."},{"start":5612540,"end":5640110,"speaker":"H","text":"And then when talking about the I Ready goals, you dove into a little bit about how the NUA strategies are helping in the upper grades, but it's also mentioned that it helps for els.

Because students are at all different levels in the classroom. English Learners, students with IEPs with learning disabilities, students that are far below grade level, that aren't English learners. Right. That are English only, students that are far below grade level. It gives them access to the, to the content and it scaffolds it in a way that supports their, their thinking.

Okay, so what I wanted to say that I really appreciate, you know, seeing the data, and I'm always reflecting that before COVID we were making a lot of progress in literacy, reading and math. And Covid has set us back. There's no question it set us back. It set up the state, the nation, the world back. And I really want to say I appreciate the focus that you've had this year in particular. Well, last year and this year, as we come back is really caring, you know, that. That one caring adult, that relationship building, that belonging and all of that, because we have a lot to make up for. Right. And we know that we have a lot of, as you said, opportunity to improve, you know, in our literacy and our math in particular. But I. I think it's, you know, it's important that in order to do that, there also has to be all these other things. Right. To go along with it. So thank you for your recognition that we have work to do. I really appreciate your concluding comments and just some of those that you went through in terms of what More you need from the district and the board. And this is a theme. It's not just your school site, it's other school sites. So it's helpful for us to think about, as we think about how we bring in more resources or how we move resources around, what we can do, because as you know, we have limited resources. But when we know it's important, then we can think about how we might shift some of those. So thank you very much for identifying those. I did want to say, you know, just how important, you know, some of your interventions and your extra tutoring and all your after school, your extended day learning is so important just to, to really help the students. I really appreciate the student voice. I know that's something that I've heard from students all the time.

I was thinking back to the seal and how, you know, one of the demonstration sites and you know, things like that that all along that you've been doing. But on the pilot, on the bus passes, you know, Adelante Selby was the pilot for. I think they were just one of a couple pilots for all of San Mateo County. And then we proved how successful that was and with the data that you delivered. And then now all of San Mateo county for our students who receive free and reduced lunch, they're getting free bus passes and that's huge. I mean, that's about getting kids to school. So once again, I'm always proud that our school district responds to these pilots and trials. We're willing to Give it a shot. We're willing to do the extra work and that's a lot of extra work for staff to. To, you know, we had to get the data together and all of that.

Obviously, everybody, thank you for the presentation, all three of you. And again, all teachers and staff that work there. Obviously, without your help, our students will not be learning. And so one of the things is I. Even on a personal level, and being an English learner at one point, the way I see education is we are making. You guys are making the best possible to make the students learn. So even when they move one step, again, especially with the English learners, they're actually making a really big progress. They're actually working double from comparing to their peers. So that just, to me, says a lot. I do like that you talked about the Alebrija tickets, because I think that positive reinforcement, instead of, again, telling them, no, I think that's good, you probably motivate more kids to actually do better. And so they see what the other kids are doing. And so. So that brings the community that makes them learn, and again, that makes parents want to go to the school, because, again, it's a awesome community. Not to be biased, but all three kids of mine graduated from Adelante when I was just Adelante. So actually, Adelante Sal will be my last one. And so, you know, it's a great school. It's a great program, and I always appreciated the fact that kids come out of there and. And even those that are a little behind eventually, at the end of the day, will thrive in their professional or adult life. Let's see. The only, I guess question. And I know it's probably silly to ask, but the math portion, I know during COVID when we were still in Zoom, we had talked about the testing being whether offered in Spanish or English. And is this.

As you know, we had the reimagining Redwood City and it wasn't an easy task to bring your site along. The Selby site, along with Adelante. And I remember the meetings that we sat through with the parent groups coming together, intense, very communicative. Each school had their differences, but we were bringing them together. And not only the parents, but the staff. There are many meetings. Bhati, I know you're there also, I'll say you weren't there at that time. But I will definitely always walk away from those meetings thinking what a positive influence you had on making this work. To today it was going well and as you pointed out, March 13 came along and it kind of blew things a little in different directions. But to see what you're doing right now from that time period is very positive and you should be proud of yourself, your staff, your community, of where you are. Yes, there are a lot of opportunities, but we're all struggling with these opportunities. I was at Stanford along with Liz a week from. A week ago Monday. Right. I think it was Amado patia, he is Dr. Padilla who did that study during one of the breaks. He says, well, how are things going? Because you're back from the COVID and so forth. He goes like, you know, he did the research, he and his staff did the research on Adelante and constantly is out in the community and other areas of California and other states touting the program. And if you're going to do a Spanish dual immersion program, this is the manner and how you have to go. We, I did tell him about, you know, our, our setbacks because that's normal. What are you talking about? And he says, just watch. Those kids will do as they, as the previous group did by the time they get to high school. And as, as that report showed, if they started with us. And at that time there was no tk, it was kindergarten and by the time they left high school, biliterate bilingual, grade wise A through G courses into major universities, private universities in this state and in other states. So it can be done so I wouldn't beat myself up. That's the goal. I'm, I'm really proud of everything that you have done. I'm proud that Bhati came on board. I'M glad that you have been a great mentor and really happy that Bhatti, you stepped up and you wanted to take the position. Jose. Doing a great job.

And if it comes through, it's a great chunk of change for the district, for the community schools in the district.

This policy was exciting to bring as an update because there's been so many changes in the last few years regarding counseling service and the multi tiered system of support language and information embedded in this particular policy and the benefits for students primarily. So I know that all of you had thoughts and comments about this and I do know Mr. Weekley, you have a thought about this that would be great to discuss tonight regarding the budget piece. But really what is wonderful about this policy is it outlines, especially in an elementary school setting, what counseling supports look like. And of course with our counselors who are our employees, in this particular case, our mental health counselors. We have partners, as you heard tonight, with One Life and Starvist in the past and they're separate organizations that do their own evaluations and data analysis but of course provide data for the district. And so in our own in house system that would. Our employees would be evaluated like any other employee would be. And Then the data noted accordingly. And so that language is written in here, but is really will be flushed out in the administrative regulations step by step for what staff will be doing to ensure those things occur. This particular board policy has the strikeouts for the ar, so those need to be redeveloped. This is somewhat unusual to see, but in this particular case there are not provided updates from CSBA yet. So we will use those as a guide, but they're not available yet. I know the board is focused on the board policy, but I wanted to draw that to your attention."},{"start":6932870,"end":6952470,"speaker":"G","text":"So FYI, just my note was the strikeout of budget permitting.

I have toured now and met with every single principal in the district and gone to their schools and including one of the charters. Not. Not all the charters. And I wanted to share some of my preliminary findings, if that's all right. So I'm just going to try and do a speed run of this so I don't end up camping out too much of the meeting and taking you guys late. What's common, young kids had a pretty overall traumatic experience of the pandemic, especially from poorer families. A lot of those kids were shut and neither really given an opportunity to socialize nor really a chance to learn all that much. So consequently, there's a whole lot of trauma in the kind of K to 2 window in particular that has taken most of the first half of this year to resolve and get students back on a learning track. So really consistently heard that from many of the different school sites that the first half was really re acclimatization to the school environment. And then the hope from the principals being that we're now in the second half of the year that we have a chance to focus on the academics and move the ball forward there. So it was interesting to hear that pretty consistently across the board. Is there overall sense of an increase in the number of special education students couple coupled with trouble finding enough sped teachers to cover. I heard very varied opinions about whether a partial contributing component is over diagnosis or not. So I just want to put that out there that that was something I heard. Very consistent love and happiness working with nua. So a lot of shout outs for nua. No negative comments at all, all even anonymously. So just people seem to really enjoy working with nua. The work to reduce school suspensions through restorative justice practices has been successful. Some of my initial skepticism of like are you just not suspending students when you should have is actually seemingly negated by the data because there's also reduced classroom interruption. So it's not just having troublesome kids and keeping them in the classroom, but the level of trouble has been reduced effectively by the practices in the district. So like very, very neat to go see that. Lots of love for Liz's office. It's viewed as very caring, responsive and effective that way. Those uniform there's an awareness of the skepticism that exists in the community around Fontos and Pinel and agreement for a need for a change in approach there, although it's a little uncertain. Well, what comes next? I mean there's sort of a consensus that phonics needs to be more integrated in approach. A lot of sites are already hand cranking their own answers for how to better integrate phonics into the curriculum, but they are looking for sort of like better vetted answers for where to go go to next. Measure U funds were spoken of with delight and pride. A lot of appreciation for the safety updates in particular that were included with Measure T. Principals were very happy the board member wanted to come and visit. So it's like certainly visits by board members are warmly welcomed. The climate surveys that we do are not given K to 2, which is a bit of a miss since we have pretty strong evidence that English proficiency by end of third grade is like really, really important. And we don't have all of the telemetry that we need for what's happening with kinder first and second students and their families. So I think that's a bit of a blind spot for us that we should think about how to how to better cover. MTSS also seems very well received across the district. It's a concrete and helpful framework. In some places the Sobrato seal coaches are missed data doesn't do a great job showing progress according to our goals. You'll notice that's a theme I come back to often. There is consensus that student enthusiasm about school is a big predictor of success doing things like college campus tours and having fun and exciting classes like music, drama and the like are a big draw for school and help kids to identify as enjoying school. And there was some amount of consensus that those were things that helped drive student performance. There were some things that were very different between the school sites. I thought that was interesting to notice for some sites. So teacher acquisition, retention. Some sites are really struggling to acquire teachers to retain teachers. Some sites are not having problems with that. I'm not going to call it particular sites."},{"start":7414360,"end":7414520,"speaker":"E","text":"Right."},{"start":7414520,"end":7583600,"speaker":"G","text":"It's not about throwing people under the bus, but it's rather noting that this seems to be a meaningful difference between different sites. So for some it was like their top issue and for others like no, that's completely a non issue for us. And that didn't vary directly in terms of like bayside versus non bayside or any sort of clean line like that. I could easily distinguish myself. Another one that was very varied was around teacher professional development. Some sites really struggled to make sure that teachers were actually attending all the different professional development sessions that were being made available for them. Others had no problem at all with teachers even volunteering to go and do extra professional development time. And like. So it was a big difference. Right. So it wasn't like there was one clear picture. I was getting on that and then just actually touring a bunch of the classrooms. The individual teaching styles in the classrooms varied very dramatically. Everything from impassioned lectures from, you know, really super engaged teachers where like I didn't want to leave the classroom, I wanted to see what was going on next. So pretty amazing stuff too. You know, honestly like some people just kind of reading into a microphone and like not really engaging the students. So there's a lot of dynamic range I think think that was being experienced by teachers out there. Also feelings about school lunch buried. So in terms of broad needs and notes, CIPS is apparently used to be done in May and now the timing of them, October, November makes it difficult to evaluate the past year and plan for the upcoming year. I'm new to a lot of this stuff so I'm just trying to like relay kind of be a funnel for what I heard on the sites. The district needs to source more bus drivers. That shortages there are causing logistical issues as well as safety ones. When they put together kids, kids all the way from like kindergarten up to 8th grade so they would like more bus drivers. The big survey sent out twice a year isn't quite enough to gauge how efforts are making progress on a more month to month basis. So it'd be good to have some faster, shorter surveys to get some telemetry on how things are developing during the year. Something you heard tonight, need more integrated ELD curriculum that was pretty consistent. There also seems to be a bit of a consensus that while a lot of parents enjoy having a kinder to eight environments, it's actually probably better for kids to have a true middle school and have like a separate K to 5 from 6 to 8. And then some of the people who related that feedback didn't want their names attached to the feedback. But like, that was actually a fairly consistent opinion that I felt like it's my role to go and surface that kind of stuff. Some of the new and planned constriction construction did not fully incorporate feedback from the principals. And this resulted in a little bit of a miss in terms of maximum maximally useful facilities. So as a specific example that at Taft, the furniture for the steam room was not appropriately sized for most of their students. It was way too big. Similarly, on the other direction, there's a conference room table that was much too short to be useful. It was kind of comically his small."},{"start":7583600,"end":7583920,"speaker":"E","text":"Right."},{"start":7584480,"end":7654340,"speaker":"G","text":"So, and then the art tables weren't the right size. And just like they, they weren't really consulted about the new, about the furniture and about the construction that was going in there. Similarly, at Clifford, the hypothesized plans for measured S bend include a bunch of new classroom construction, moving things around that didn't make sense to the principal and he wasn't really consulted on plans beyond a single brief meeting. Right. So just I want to make sure that if we're doing big, amazing, cool, expensive construction projects for a given site, that we're working in close consultation with the, the principal and the staff on site to make sure that it's maximally effective and it's the right furniture, it's the right setup that's going to best serve their students. A handful of just like quick hits here. I swear I'm towards the end of the list, but this is like 12 separate visits that I did, so I'm just trying to condense it all into one. Kinect Charter School's heater has been out. It was very cold in the office. They are all bundled up, so it'd be nice to figure out if we can fix that. Roosevelt's playground needs additional wood chips to make the surface safe from falls. The chip depth was. Was not deep enough to be safe. Taft's playground field is unusable. They haven't been able to use their field at all as it needs resurfacing so these are some things that city thing that."},{"start":7654420,"end":7654820,"speaker":"C","text":"Cool."},{"start":7654820,"end":7657420,"speaker":"G","text":"Let's find a way to surface it to the city.

Some hopes for the district metacognition. So got a lot of nods around that. But one thing that I think a lot of people started getting excited about when I jammed with them on this was this notion of a start of the year plan where the teacher and a parent and the student all get together to go and form what is your learning plan for the year? Not responsively to the first report card back and what are you going to do about XYZ bad grade. But rather proactively having the student form a plan and own a plan for the year. How are you going to go and learn this? And how can the parent and the teacher support you in your learning plan and really have that be owned by the student? I got a lot of. Of nods and excitement about doing something like that. And we're top of February. It feels like the right time to be having conversations about how are you going to kick off the school year in the fall."},{"start":7714800,"end":7715120,"speaker":"E","text":"Right."},{"start":7715120,"end":7767290,"speaker":"G","text":"So it's, it's not too early, not too late. Feels like good timing to start thinking about that. There was also excitement about encouraging parents to communicate high expectations to their kids. So I think a lot of what parents feel yelled about is to engage more, to be on campus more. And parents who are busy, they. They can't do that. They have a job. They have two jobs. Some of them have three jobs jobs. So giving them a toolbox of things they can do concretely with their kids that will move the needle academically for their kids, that incorporate limitations around their time and their budget I think would be really effective. And one of those things is encouraging parents to clearly communicate high academic expectations for their kids. There's some other things too. We should think about what we put in that toolbox. Last item. There was a lot of interest in ongoing review of pedagogy research to have our practices, what we're doing this district reflect what is new known about what works and what not. What, what doesn't work for humans."},{"start":7767290,"end":7767610,"speaker":"E","text":"Learning."},{"start":7767610,"end":7775610,"speaker":"G","text":"That was really long. So sorry.

You know, thank you, Lupe, John, Michael, and all the Hoover staff, of course, for hosting us in the that beautiful Hoover gym. It was amazing. And congratulations to the teachers, the families and the students for the amazing effort that's gone in to reach that milestone. I attended the Lunar New Year Festival over at Ryan Alternative. I brought my high school senior and we got to eat. Eat some delicious dumplings, see a lion dance and watch some student performances. That was fun. We had a bond team meeting. And the one thing to share out of that is that we. We're hoping that in our next meeting we'll be able to start discussing the remaining Measure T funds and being able to prioritize projects. So that's something that will be coming to the board after that in the March, April timeframe. But if you've heard of things that are small projects that might be able to use for that, start thinking about this so that we can get them onto the prioritized list to think about. We have the citizen. Speaking of Measure T, we had a Citizens Bond Oversight Committee on Thursday, and I saw the Little Mermaid Junior opening night performance on Friday from Clifford, and that was great. And I brought my high school freshman who was in a virtual version of Little Mermaid Jr. When she was was at Kennedy during the pandemic."},{"start":7887060,"end":7887700,"speaker":"C","text":"All right."},{"start":7889219,"end":7949800,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah. So we had a. Cecilia and I went to a Redwood City Together meeting, and that was Cecilia's first. So that was good. And even trying to think of what we. I think we were mostly getting updates and stuff, so there's not a lot to report back, but there's a lot going on with Rabid City Together, that's for sure. Actually. Actually, the big thing is I just came back to me, we did bring on two new partners. And what's really cool about that is the Chan Zuckerberg Institute is actually paying for their membership on the leader organization. So two great things. Redwood City Together will get more money to be able to support our youth and families, but then also get the perspective from the two new groups. Well, actually, one of them is the John Gardner center from Stanford. That'll be. They'll be continuing. And then the other is the community college. What's the name of the Upward Scholars?"},{"start":7949800,"end":7950240,"speaker":"C","text":"Thank you."},{"start":7950240,"end":8033230,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah, so that'll be good. So that'll help us go from. From cradle to career because we were sort of missing some of that community college kind of support and that's really focused on actually a lot of our families who are learning English and wanting to go back to school. So that was good. I was a part of the San Mateo county new board orientation. I was there to talk about CSBA and just training opportunities, and we had a really good turnout. There's a lot of new board members in San Mateo county. And actually I just got back from CSBA board meeting a couple weekends ago, and there are just a lot of new board members up and down the state, and we're expecting even more the next cycle. So I think we're going to see a lot of opportunities for additional training, and we're going to see a lot of changes on school boards as well, because there's a lot of people coming in with a variety of ideas of what we ought to be doing with education. So I think it's going to be a challenging few years, actually, in some regard. But it's also great to, of course, get new folks like David. Okay. I sat on a Brown ACT panel and there was a Brown act training. It was a virtual training. And actually both Cecilia and I attended all day. So that was. Or all morning. And that was put on by dwk. And I think they did a really good job. And I feel like I always learned something about. About the Brown Act."},{"start":8036030,"end":8036990,"speaker":"C","text":"What is that?"},{"start":8037310,"end":8112640,"speaker":"D","text":"Oh, yeah, sorry. That's the reclassification. I did want to give a shout out to all the staff and just the teachers, the principals and everybody who really helps those kids. We know how important it is to have them reclassified. And then I have joined the CSBA Annual Education Conference Committee. We had our kickoff meeting last week, and we have a lot of meetings coming up. So if you have any ideas of things that went well or things that you'd like to see additional. It's going to be in San Francisco this year, which is great. So everybody should be able to attend. From a travel perspective, it'll be a lot easier for us. So please pass any ideas that you have to me, like, things that, you know, are sort of buzzing around, that you'd like to have workshops on or, you know, if good speakers, general session speakers or others, I would welcome that and I can relay that information. Let's see. Janet and John and I had a workforce housing meeting. There's a lot going on there, and we're going to be hearing some news and we'll probably be having another closed session soon, right?

So that was actually very helpful. And I do want to thank you publicly because you do such an amazing job at attending all this committee, you know, so I really appreciate that. And you did fabulous on the panel. And so with that said, there are some things that I learned that maybe, you know, I don't know if we're aware. And then talk about the Brown act and not violating. I'm wondering if talking about putting some stuff on the agenda, her future agenda would be. So let me make the comment and then we can. You guys can help me out, figure out if that is what we want to do. So one of the things they emphasize was again, to be consistent on the time allowed for public comment. So as we experienced tonight, when there's a lot of people. Yeah, right. And so they did recommend that we would. It would be good to. If we put it on the. The front of our Agenda. So that would be one thing. And then public comment. For public comment. Yeah."},{"start":8284170,"end":8285370,"speaker":"D","text":"Put our minutes.

And to also write down it would be good suggestion that we do not engage in conversation because again, people can see thing that we are being rude because again, we're telling them your time is over and we can't answer any questions. But later on, again, whether it's a superintendent or a designee or one of the board members would get back to them. And then let's see, another thing they said is on the rationale or the background of the agenda item, it would be good to disclose that when we're talking about an item, we also mentioned like a previous meeting and dates so that people are actually aware of. Of like when we actually talked about it in the past. So that's what I learned on the workshop."},{"start":8334530,"end":8338410,"speaker":"E","text":"So I wanted to respond to a comment though, when appropriate."},{"start":8338650,"end":8341290,"speaker":"A","text":"Yeah, just appropriate clarifying questions."},{"start":8341370,"end":8359390,"speaker":"E","text":"No, I think when appropriate respond to community comments.

And I'm glad Mike, you brought up the bond committee tonight in your report about. You're looking at kind of a list of some of the smaller projects that we might be funding with the reserve money that we have. And I was wondering. I'm not sure exactly what the thinking is for the process, but I was hoping that the bond committee could make recommendations, but that the board, like, we could see all of the list of items and then your recommended items. Because as a, you know, through conversation or public. Public comment, we might shift things a little bit. So. Okay. Because I think there has been some times where something comes to us and we didn't get to, you know, So I just want to make sure that we get to see that."},{"start":8506350,"end":8512069,"speaker":"E","text":"So it's a list.

And then you'll have whatever the balance is."},{"start":8530150,"end":8552060,"speaker":"D","text":"Right. And then we have to make some decisions. And part of the reason is actually under correspondence, in addition to the Mandarin immersion emails that came in, I'm also starting to get emails about. Or phone calls because people have, I think, submitted things and they know, like, when is it going to happen? And how are you making the decision? Is the public going to see that? And so. So I do think it's important just as we wrap up to."},{"start":8552060,"end":8557580,"speaker":"E","text":"Because I think a couple of you have been involved with a school site in regard to a playground."},{"start":8557740,"end":8565539,"speaker":"D","text":"Yeah.

I mean, I think some of that would probably go to, to the policy committee first and then it will come to us. But you know, for those maybe who are still listening or will share the information with friends, you know, I think, you know, part of the issue is that the TK is new and so we just need to reflect upon. We've always had the sibling policy with K through 8. The TK has not always been offered at every school site. It was really just hey, where we had spots. You know, whether you were at Orion and there was an opening, you know, we were doing it like that. Now that we've got one at every school site and possibly more, it just changes it. So. So typically the process would be it go to the board policy committee and then it'll come to us. But I do think we have some work to do on the enrollment and lottery. And not just what we heard tonight, but we've been hearing that, you know, and as we've been changing and evolving, we always have to refresh those so we can put those on the agenda as needed as well."},{"start":8719090,"end":8719490,"speaker":"E","text":"Cool."},{"start":8719490,"end":8731720,"speaker":"G","text":"I just want to make sure that nobody ends up falling through the cracks as we decide a good long term policy.
