Um, we literally 105 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,400 have to build furniture and um unpack 106 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,639 boxes when teachers have moved or moved 107 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,960 from a grade level down to TK. And this, 108 00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:28,960 of course, is for every classroom, not 109 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,520 just TK. And we can go to the next 110 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,320 slide. 111 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,160 >> Sure. 112 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,800 >> And then Oh, yeah.

So, yes, in a few short 118 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,720 days in August when we're preparing to 119 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,960 have the students come. This is what 120 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,400 transpires in the classroom. So, I think 121 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,720 it's just amazing. 122 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,960 So, here is where we stand today. It's 123 00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,400 our current status. As I said, the 124 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:03,040 district currently has 19 TKs, two of 125 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,639 which are specialized learning centers, 126 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,919 one at Henry Ford and one at Roosevelt. 127 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:13,840 And um we serve approximately 360 four 128 00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:17,360 and 5-year-olds. Next slide. 129 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,919 So the overarching goals for TK um in a 130 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,400 nutshell, we want to create a joyful, 131 00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:25,759 culturally affirming and languagerich 132 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,520 classrooms. Um, we believe that when we 133 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:30,320 align instruction with how children 134 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:35,000 learn best, everyone benefits students, 135 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,000 teachers, and the district as a whole. 136 00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:39,680 What makes our TK program exemplary? 137 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,080 Transitional kindergarten is not 138 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,320 kindergarten light. It is the first year 139 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,240 of a two-year learning continuum 140 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,919 designed specifically for four-year-olds 141 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,479 and grounded in developmentally 142 00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:52,720 appropriate practice. Our program 143 00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:55,360 emphasizes play-based learning. We can 144 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,039 go to next slide. Sorry. Play-based 145 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,520 learning, language development and 146 00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:02,800 social emotional growth, early literacy 147 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,720 and numeracy embedded in exploration and 148 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,160 strong classroom routines that build 149 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,479 independence and confidence. 150 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,680 So, the play-based program is not just 151 00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:16,479 play. Overall, the state recommends 75% 152 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,560 of the day should be uninterrupted play, 153 00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:20,880 but in sections, of course, not all at 154 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,520 once. Um, but the play is broken up into 155 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,160 three categories. child um 156 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,560 self-determined play, adult child 157 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,039 collaborative play and adult planned 158 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,039 directed play. 159 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,880 So we have developed a well-rounded TK 160 00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:39,520 program that encompasses all areas and 161 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:43,120 modalities of learning which is the 162 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:45,840 balance program you see here. 163 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,840 Since the new standards came out only a 164 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:49,919 couple of years ago, we are still in the 165 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:52,560 process of adapting and integrating them 166 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:54,800 into our curriculum.

We're trying more and more 204 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,519 to incorporate outdoor centers to get 205 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:40,240 the children outside and and moving in 206 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:42,959 the fresh air as much as possible. 207 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,519 So across the district, our teachers 208 00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:47,600 provide a consistent program, yet each 209 00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:50,000 brings her own creative interests and 210 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:53,760 passions to the classroom. 211 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,399 We have created a TK mustd do form that 212 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,360 is for the TK teacher by the TK teachers 213 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:01,279 for the TK teachers that um illuminates 214 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,839 what we expect in the classroom across 215 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:07,600 the district. The next slide is an 216 00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:09,519 example of what we would want to see in 217 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:13,200 a developmentally appropriate learning 218 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:15,519 environment. It should at minimal um 219 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,279 have a large group area, small group 220 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:19,040 area where the teacher can pull small 221 00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:21,120 groups for instruction. It doesn't have 222 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,600 to be a rainbow table. It can be any 223 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,399 setting. It can be on the floor. Um, a 224 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,279 dramatic play area, blocks and building 225 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:32,160 area, a library or quiet space, a calm 226 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:36,839 down corner. Um, and then science and 227 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,839 math exploration and blocks and whatnot. 228 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:46,320 So, finding qualified teachers has been 229 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:49,519 a challenge. Not only do we um do we do 230 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,560 sorry not only does the need sorry not 231 00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:55,200 only do the teachers need to have a joy 232 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,880 for teaching this age group they also 233 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,760 have to have a California teaching 234 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,480 credential and 24 early childhood 235 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,720 education units which equals out to 236 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,600 about a year a year and a half of of 237 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,600 educa extra education. 238 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,880 Fortunately, we've had some innovative 239 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,480 staffing solutions that the board has 240 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:20,560 helped us um pioneer along with HR and 241 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:24,320 Anna. Um and these are that we can hire 242 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:26,320 teachers who have 12 units of experience 243 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,800 as long as they have adequate 244 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,440 in-classroom experience with children 245 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,079 for four to five years old. 246 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,240 Um, we have also used the early 247 00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:38,880 education training devel trainers 248 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:43,680 development grant from the county to 249 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:45,360 help some of our teachers that we um uh 250 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:47,920 scalped, I guess, for a lack of better 251 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,399 word from prek. Um, we had several 252 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,920 teachers come up into our our program 253 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:53,760 and we're helping them get their 254 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,440 credential and in turn they've made a 255 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,440 commitment to the district to stay here 256 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:03,040 for a certain length of time. 257 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,560 So meet our team. Our TK program has 258 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,320 been built thoughtfully and 259 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:10,079 intentionally through the dedication of 260 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:12,240 the 19 in 19 teachers and more than 20 261 00:11:10,079 --> 00:11:14,959 instructional assistants who together 262 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,120 form the backbone of our TK classrooms 263 00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:19,360 across the district. 264 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,360 Their commitment, creativity, and deep 265 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,519 understanding of early childhood 266 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,519 development make this program what it is 267 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:26,519 today. 268 00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:31,440 So where the teachers are the backbone, 269 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:34,480 our PLC's are the heart of the success 270 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,200 of our program. We meet at least monthly 271 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:40,399 either in person or online to discuss 272 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,399 pedagogy, data and do planning together. 273 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:45,279 We attend various conferences and 274 00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:47,360 external PD opportunities and we bring 275 00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:50,000 that information back to one another and 276 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,079 share and it helps us also to create 277 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,399 teacher leaders which Jennifer is one 278 00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:56,640 of. 279 00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:58,720 So in doing this we've created teacher 280 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,880 oh I just that teacher leaders who um 281 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,560 often run the PLC's and the trainings 282 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,399 for us. So moving on to data. Next 283 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:09,200 slide. 284 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:11,920 Thank you. So we believe that data is a 285 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,839 flashlight not a hammer and we feel like 286 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,760 it should never be a gotcha. It should 287 00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:18,720 always be the light that illuminates the 288 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,959 path to student growth and acceleration. 289 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,200 The following slides show the academic 290 00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:25,760 growth for TK that we've been garnering 291 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,279 for quite a while. But what I want to 292 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,920 point out is that it doesn't show the 293 00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:31,600 soft skills that that TK students learn 294 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,600 in the classroom such as 295 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,360 self-regulation, 296 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,880 um social emotional um lessons and those 297 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,360 kind of things that are hard to display 298 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,360 on a graph. 299 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,639 So here we have capital letters. You can 300 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,959 just see from the the bars that they 301 00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:53,120 come in with a lot less than what they 302 00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:55,680 leave with at the end of the school 303 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:59,519 year. And we have only a couple years of 304 00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:01,440 of data on um on this. And 305 00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:04,480 unfortunately, we didn't have the data 306 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,399 from our fall. Um this these numbers 307 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,639 here show our beginning of the year and 308 00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:10,240 we also now have fall data. So those the 309 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:13,200 green has increased and the red has 310 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:15,360 decreased in almost all the slides. So 311 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:19,120 the next one is lowercase letters. You 312 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,959 can see each year we've had increases 313 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:25,360 and you might see I'm just going to 314 00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:26,800 notice a decrease from 2023 to 2024. And 315 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,560 I just want to point out that the 316 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,880 children are getting younger and younger 317 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:32,800 each of these years that they come. 318 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,880 Okay. 319 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,200 And then of course we have sounds right. 320 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:41,360 So, um, point I want to just point 321 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:43,839 especially to 2024 25 where 89% of our 322 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,200 students were at grade level or above in 323 00:13:43,839 --> 00:13:46,399 knowing the amount of sounds that 324 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,800 they're supposed to know at the end of 325 00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:53,519 TK. I know, right? Um, TK to be at grade 326 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:56,720 level, they need to know 15 letters and 327 00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:58,560 sounds approximately, give or take. And, 328 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,399 um, most of our students who are in the 329 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:03,120 green know almost all of their letters 330 00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:05,120 and sounds. So they have a a very big 331 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,360 head start and many many of them are 332 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:11,639 beginning reading. Even now I have we 333 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,639 have readers in some of the classrooms. 334 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:18,480 Um uh math we they are expected by the 335 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:22,160 end of the year to count to 30 without 336 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:25,360 interruptions. Um and this also has 337 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:27,760 we've seen growth 338 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,839 and um also onetoone correspondence 339 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,839 which is a little bit more difficult for 340 00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:35,199 for students but they are also 341 00:14:31,839 --> 00:14:38,160 increasing in that 342 00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:42,519 and recognizing numbers 343 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,519 and recognizing shapes. 344 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,720 Okay. So, as you can see, we've 345 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,959 accomplished a great deal in the last 346 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,040 four years. Our challenges have been 347 00:14:50,959 --> 00:14:55,279 many, but we have we feel like we have 348 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,680 overcome them, and we are continuing to 349 00:14:55,279 --> 00:15:00,000 assess other challenges that that keep 350 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,240 arising, such as hiring, you know, new 351 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,880 and qualified teachers as our program 352 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:10,959 grows. Um, I want to point out that I I 353 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:13,199 know TK is um expensive, but I want to 354 00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:15,199 point out that it is an investment. 355 00:15:13,199 --> 00:15:17,600 Smaller class sizes, instructional 356 00:15:15,199 --> 00:15:20,240 assistance, materials, and training all 357 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,639 carry a cost. However, TK is not a 358 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,600 short-term expense. It is a long-term 359 00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:28,320 investment in the district's success. 360 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,320 Decades of research confirm what we see 361 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,360 every day, that students who attend 362 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:36,000 highquality early learning programs 363 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,160 enter kindergarten more confident. They 364 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,880 require fewer academic behavior 365 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:43,279 behavioral interventions. Yes. 366 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,920 um show stronger literacy and math 367 00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:49,920 foundations and finally experience 368 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:54,560 greater long-term academic success. 369 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:56,800 So we do have some ongoing needs on the 370 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,120 next slide. 371 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,120 Um ongoing needs will be of course 372 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,279 training for teachers, new teachers as 373 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,800 they come so that they can catch up with 374 00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:07,279 the programs that that our current 375 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,279 teachers are are doing. And we're 376 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:11,759 finding that having in-house teachers 377 00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:13,600 such as Jennifer and many of our other 378 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,920 teachers who I also I know are out 379 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,959 there. So I want to say hi to everybody. 380 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,079 Um are helping us with this so that we 381 00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:24,880 don't have to have the expense of 382 00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:27,839 trainers coming in. Um we need to train 383 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,079 our instructional assistants um not only 384 00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:33,759 in the toileting which is becoming an 385 00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:36,480 increasingly um added duty to our our 386 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:38,560 plates but also we want to train them in 387 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,160 many of the strategies that the teachers 388 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,040 are learning because they are the second 389 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:46,560 teacher in the classroom. Um for 390 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:48,000 facilities we are looking we're in 391 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,720 pretty good shape. There are a few 392 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,639 places where we could use some more 393 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,480 developmentally appropriate heights of 394 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:56,560 sinks. As you can see, there's a step 395 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,560 stool there, and knock on wood, nobody's 396 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,160 fallen, but it would be nice to have 397 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,040 something a little bit more permanent 398 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,600 and stable. Um, there is going to be a 399 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,760 need for new rest mats. We've had these 400 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,160 rest mats for 5 years now, and they are 401 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,520 starting to to fall apart.

So we can check and see if 579 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,880 they can do that again.

Ann touched on it, but like but 593 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,240 I think Anna and Augustine are both 594 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,240 talking about how it's kind of like a 595 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,320 literacy math preventative, like it's 596 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,159 stopping ensuring that there's no crisis 597 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,440 later on when they run into a problem 598 00:24:58,159 --> 00:25:00,960 and sort of getting them off on the 599 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,360 right foot.

It's just a 607 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,039 a whole change. 608 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,600 >> Yeah, I bet. 609 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:22,960 >> And in and what they're expecting. And 610 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,039 as you said, you have some kids right 611 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,400 now that are starting to read. That's 612 00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:29,919 fantastic. And so yeah, it's we can do 613 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,679 that. We can we can definitely start 614 00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:33,120 doing that again. It's not for 615 00:25:31,679 --> 00:25:35,120 ourselves. It's not that expensive to 616 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:36,960 do. We just go around and we put them up 617 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,960 put you know those 618 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,440 >> pin cushes and go. 619 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,799 >> Yeah, 620 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,840 >> they're there and no one ever says 621 00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:43,360 anything. And also some of the 622 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,200 restaurants used to take them also for 623 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:48,480 us 624 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:50,720 >> especially the ones on Middlefield Road. 625 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,200 >> Okay, I'm going to turn to the board um 626 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,799 and let the if anyone wants to start 627 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:58,320 with discussion, comments or or 628 00:25:54,799 --> 00:26:00,720 questions for for Ann and Jen. 629 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,720 I see I see David Lee looking anxious to 630 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,159 jump in. So, I'm uh I'm gonna call on 631 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,600 him so that we don't do that. Let's 632 00:26:04,159 --> 00:26:07,120 stare at everybody for a minute before 633 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,080 we decide who's going to start. 634 00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:13,520 >> That is just my face, but that's fine. 635 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:15,200 >> Um uh I'll I've already put these 636 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720 questions out there, so none should be 637 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,240 surprises, but first and foremost, I 638 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,840 think thank you for the presentation and 639 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,679 obviously for the work. It says it every 640 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,600 time, but um it's really helpful. I'll 641 00:26:21,679 --> 00:26:25,919 be very candid. The the whole TK realm 642 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,679 is outside of my wheelhouse completely. 643 00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:29,279 Um, so like seeing the picture, seeing 644 00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:33,120 what it takes, like the before and after 645 00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:34,480 is really really helpful. Um, and I know 646 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,559 we touched a little bit on the funding 647 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,640 piece and I I I think it's worth also 648 00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:40,000 stating that I my understanding is that 649 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,440 as a basic aid district like we are 650 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,200 disadvantaged compared to others like we 651 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,640 it is effectively an unfunded mandate. 652 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,880 So we are 653 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,960 >> I'm just in incredibly impressed by the 654 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,559 work that we do given that we are not 655 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,679 currently supported by the state in the 656 00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:52,400 same way that others are, right? 657 00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:53,440 >> Um, 658 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,960 >> so just put that out there. 659 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,480 >> Yeah. uh the the two I guess two points, 660 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,440 one kind of comment and then one kind of 661 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,520 question or set of questions. Uh the one 662 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,120 comment is just on the slide that you 663 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,200 put up there and the commentary that 664 00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:09,760 went with it which is that data is a 665 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,760 flashlight not a hammer and I just 666 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,200 >> very much fully endorse it. I love that 667 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,600 idea, right? Like 668 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,200 >> data doesn't tell us anything by itself. 669 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,120 We have to understand it, read it, 670 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,120 interpret it and that's going to lead to 671 00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:22,400 the next step. But seeing the numbers is 672 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:24,159 not um 673 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,400 >> it's not enough by itself, right? 674 00:27:24,159 --> 00:27:28,320 >> So I really appreciated the 675 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,679 >> the context and the takeaways that you 676 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,080 brought on the slides. And this isn't a 677 00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:33,679 comment to you, but I think in general, 678 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,880 especially as I think we move toward 679 00:27:33,679 --> 00:27:36,320 presentations where we're trying to 680 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,400 condense things and make it super 681 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,799 efficient, it might I I think it'd be 682 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,880 helpful to uh try to get like the 683 00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:44,400 takeaways from the district on the 684 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,200 slides of what that like what did you 685 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,240 see from the data, 686 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,000 >> right? What's the story 687 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,000 >> exactly? I think part of that honestly 688 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,279 is just because to again to be 689 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,880 completely honest like this is not my 690 00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:54,880 wheelhouse. Like I don't I don't know. 691 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,799 I'm not an expert on what the the the 692 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,559 numbers are telling me. Um and I'm not 693 00:27:56,799 --> 00:28:01,120 there in the day-to-day, but what I 694 00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:03,120 really care about is what is what are 695 00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:04,480 the the people who are on the ground? 696 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:06,000 What are they taking away from it? And 697 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,000 like what does that mean for next steps? 698 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,720 Um so I I got that loud and clear from 699 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,520 the the voice over. Uh but I I'll just 700 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,080 put it out there. 701 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,720 >> Thank you. Um the questions are more 702 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,840 focused on the the challenges and the 703 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,000 maintenance piece. 704 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,799 >> And this goes back to the the budget. Um 705 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:26,159 I think it's not a secret that uh we're 706 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:27,840 in tight budget circumstances. Um but I 707 00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:32,159 think it's also hopefully not a secret 708 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:35,520 that TK is the first point where we can 709 00:28:32,159 --> 00:28:37,279 start addressing things so that in first 710 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,720 like third grade literacy doesn't happen 711 00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:41,360 in third grade, right? It's everything 712 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,640 leads up to it. Um, and so to me, and I 713 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,679 think I won't speak for everyone else, 714 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,360 but obviously very important, love to 715 00:28:45,679 --> 00:28:48,880 make sure that we're a robust program 716 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,720 and would love to make sure that we're 717 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,559 offering it equitably to all the 718 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,120 communities. Like we should be targeted. 719 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:55,679 >> Y 720 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:58,480 >> um, with that said, I I know there's 721 00:28:55,679 --> 00:29:00,960 discussion of a parcel tax effort that 722 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,640 has been at prior board meetings. Uh, 723 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,799 unhealthily, I've I've been on the 724 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,880 internet and seeing just different uh, 725 00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:09,840 questions that pop up about the parcel 726 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,919 tax and the effectiveness. I just um 727 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,640 specifically within the realm of TK and 728 00:29:11,919 --> 00:29:17,760 it doesn't have to be right now. I think 729 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:20,159 a question that's going to come up is 730 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,159 what is the amount of money and what is 731 00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:23,440 it going toward? 732 00:29:22,159 --> 00:29:25,600 >> To make sure that we're being more 733 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,919 effective and even just based on the 734 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,919 presentation, I know you have ideas. I 735 00:29:27,919 --> 00:29:32,720 know that the district has ideas. 736 00:29:29,919 --> 00:29:34,880 >> If we could just make sure that we get 737 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,360 those down somewhere so that once we 738 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,360 >> Absolutely. I just want that there's a 739 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:42,559 sense I get that there are members of 740 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,159 the public who don't they don't have 741 00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:46,399 full confidence yet 742 00:29:44,159 --> 00:29:48,399 >> that all the the money is going toward 743 00:29:46,399 --> 00:29:50,080 all the stuff that is you know closing 744 00:29:48,399 --> 00:29:52,960 the achievement gap and all that 745 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,120 >> and like that's just not true like 746 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,320 >> we know what we need to spend but anyway 747 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,960 >> they need the flashlight 748 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,640 >> exactly and so I I'll ask the question 749 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,200 openly now which is like 750 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,600 >> what are the things um and like what 751 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,960 does that look like in terms of of money 752 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,440 because that's what we think the the 753 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,120 funds are going to go to. But I've also 754 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,320 obviously very much put you on the spot. 755 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,919 So it doesn't have to be an exhaustive 756 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,200 list, but even a sample and then 757 00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:16,640 something else just to think about as we 758 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,760 go forward of like that. I think that 759 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,080 would be helpful. 760 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,240 >> Um Okay. Yeah, Anna has some 761 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,919 >> I was going to say um I mean we have 762 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,760 invested a lot of money. We have been 763 00:30:23,919 --> 00:30:31,039 very we have been we have received money 764 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:34,640 to really fund all of the materials in 765 00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:36,960 classrooms. Um which is a large amount. 766 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,279 Um I think that grant that we had was 767 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,559 over 400,000. I don't even know that's 768 00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:42,720 just when I started. So it must have 769 00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:45,200 been greater. 770 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,159 >> We had like 600,000. 771 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,480 They started 772 00:30:46,159 --> 00:30:49,520 >> but they kept increasing ultimately it 773 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,840 was about 600. 774 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,480 >> So just in materials alone that have 775 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,159 gone to TK and these classrooms you're 776 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,880 looking at 600,000 777 00:30:56,159 --> 00:31:01,679 >> plus no for entirely. 778 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,840 >> Okay. So because building a classroom 779 00:31:01,679 --> 00:31:05,840 we've never built just one classroom. we 780 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,679 have to build four classrooms every time 781 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,159 we've done it. And so when we're 782 00:31:07,679 --> 00:31:13,600 ordering materials, we're ordering 783 00:31:10,159 --> 00:31:16,640 everything at the same. Um, so that is 784 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,240 just in like furniture and uh making 785 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,480 sure we have appropriate size tables, 786 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,080 making sure we have the chairs, making 787 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,760 sure that we have the appropriate size 788 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,760 bookshelves. So all of that investment 789 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,320 really goes to what we're we we've been 790 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,760 able to support. Martin has uh 791 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,279 facilities has actually been able to 792 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,679 support us on some of those furniturees 793 00:31:31,279 --> 00:31:36,000 as well and so have our grants in our 794 00:31:33,679 --> 00:31:38,720 district. Um I mean each classroom 795 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,640 requires an adult a teacher and an aid. 796 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,039 So you're talking about two two salaries 797 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,600 there that you have to maintain. Um 798 00:31:43,039 --> 00:31:49,279 because the teachers the aids we have a 799 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:51,120 ratio 20 to1. So we I mean tw 20 to2 800 00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:52,720 adults. So we have to maintain that 801 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,600 ratio. So we're looking at salaries 802 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,480 right? So you're looking at two 803 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:59,039 salaries. Once the ch the the classrooms 804 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,559 are have all the materials, it's really 805 00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:02,720 what we have to maintain. Like for 806 00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:05,039 example, the mats that we have where 807 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,640 children rest and take a take a you know 808 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:08,559 uh not sleep. Some of them do fall 809 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,840 asleep, but it's a resting time. Those 810 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:11,679 do have to replace because they only 811 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,320 have a certain year span, right? So we 812 00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:14,799 have to look at um purchasing new ones. 813 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,640 And 814 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,840 >> how expensive are mats? 815 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,640 >> You know what? It depends. 816 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,720 >> About $500 per classroom 817 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,720 >> for new mats. Yeah. So, we're talking 818 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,640 about, you know, our class, our older 819 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:30,000 classrooms versus our newer classrooms, 820 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,519 right? So, um, and we do know that we've 821 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,200 been looking and I talked a lot about 822 00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:34,399 like those mats like do we invest in 823 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,279 Lakes Shore, which are a little bit more 824 00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:38,960 expensive, but they also do we have a 825 00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:40,480 little bit more of a guarantee. So, you 826 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,640 have to balance it out. 827 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,919 >> Um, so I think when you look about what 828 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,640 the cost is, you're really looking at 829 00:32:43,919 --> 00:32:49,039 that and training. So Ann had we have 830 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,600 been very fortunate. Our county has had 831 00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:54,080 a lot of training for prek uh in the 832 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,720 district. So we've been able to send our 833 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,480 teachers to some of those trainings and 834 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,000 has attended multiple training. The 835 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,159 teachers have attended. We've been able 836 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,880 to invest in certain trainings that are 837 00:33:02,159 --> 00:33:06,720 more appropriate for our staff. Um and I 838 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,799 think um you know when we look at 839 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,320 ongoing if we continue to have teachers 840 00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:12,240 who leave we just have to continue 841 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,080 onboarding people. So there just, you 842 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,600 know, costs that we would add to any 843 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,600 district, any PD. 844 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,279 >> So So if you don't mind me clarifying 845 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,760 your question, are you looking at what 846 00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:23,440 it costs per classroom to run it? Is 847 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,320 that your question? 848 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:28,720 >> I that could be one way to think in like 849 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,600 the big picture in my head is I want to 850 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,440 be able to go down the street and say 851 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,760 when someone comes to me and says we're 852 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,519 not using we don't this district doesn't 853 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,880 need more money, period. I want to be 854 00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,320 able to say that's that's actually not 855 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,519 correct. Okay? because here's what we're 856 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,279 doing and here's what we can't do 857 00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:44,320 anymore because we're losing a grant and 858 00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:47,600 here's what it's going to take. 859 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:50,600 >> Right.

We've been asked by the county 882 00:34:40,399 --> 00:34:43,679 because they're familiar with our 883 00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:45,359 classrooms and know what great 884 00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:47,520 classrooms we have that they've asked if 885 00:34:45,359 --> 00:34:49,040 they can actually film a little video 886 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,359 just for that purpose. 887 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,639 >> Great. 888 00:34:49,359 --> 00:34:54,800 >> So I got approval from Jorge and John 889 00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:56,079 and and so I'm grateful. 890 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,839 >> So yeah, so that's coming. 891 00:34:56,079 --> 00:35:00,640 >> Okay, that's great. Um yeah, I think 892 00:34:57,839 --> 00:35:04,160 that will encourage more parents. We 893 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:07,440 also do um orientations in the spring. 894 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,960 Usually in May or June they do TK and K 895 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,560 orientations. So parents who have 896 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,040 already registered will be invited to 897 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,520 those.

So we 900 00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:23,599 can't just have necessarily a generic 901 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:26,400 one. Um so it depends upon the sites. 902 00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:28,160 >> Perfect.

Um as the program goes 990 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:38,079 from growth mode and like let's keep up 991 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:41,359 with this surge in demand as is, uh the 992 00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:43,200 TK definition expands. Um, two, you you 993 00:38:41,359 --> 00:38:44,640 heard Augustine's comment and it seemed 994 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,960 like there was a lot of nods and grunts 995 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,200 around the table to like active outreach 996 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,040 to go and and have the program be more 997 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,440 equitably adopted would be would be 998 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,440 really good. And then on a more macro 999 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,160 basis going and dealing with declining 1000 00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,000 enrollment, right? And so, uh, h how do 1001 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,920 we factor that in that we don't 1002 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,200 overshoot, uh, because, well, the last 1003 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,599 couple years we've been doing four new 1004 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,680 classrooms a year and so, um, whoops. uh 1005 00:39:05,599 --> 00:39:09,200 we we we don't want to o overshoot uh 1006 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,320 what what's ultimately going to be a 1007 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,880 declining slope, 1008 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,720 >> right? Absolutely. And and we definitely 1009 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,440 have been keeping that in mind as well 1010 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:20,320 and and knowing that that population 1011 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,800 will will eb and flow and you know that 1012 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:25,200 the teachers are very qualified. They 1013 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,200 can they can work in other grade levels 1014 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,960 if if needed. We don't want that. We 1015 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:32,240 want to maintain what we have because we 1016 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:34,160 worked hard for it. But um yeah, that's 1017 00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:35,200 always a possibility. We just have to 1018 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,560 roll with what comes. 1019 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,400 >> That's awesome. On the teachers, we have 1020 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,480 flexibility there. On the classrooms, it 1021 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,240 seems like that the demands of a TK 1022 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,560 classroom even versus a kindergarten 1023 00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:45,839 classroom involve a bit of material 1024 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,520 expenditure there 1025 00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:49,280 >> a little bit, but I think we're kind of 1026 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,119 plateauing on that because we've been I 1027 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,640 mean some consumables of course, you 1028 00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:54,000 know, our little learning without tears 1029 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,240 workbooks and those kind of things. 1030 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,839 Sure. But and then you know some 1031 00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:59,440 materials have to be replaced over the 1032 00:39:57,839 --> 00:40:01,119 years. But you know teachers we know 1033 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:04,320 they invest a lot of money in their own 1034 00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:06,480 classrooms and um a lot of what we see 1035 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:10,560 in there is are items that teachers have 1036 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:12,720 purchased themselves. Um, so you know, 1037 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:15,839 depending on who's in the classroom and 1038 00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:18,640 I I we'll always have more expenses, but 1039 00:40:15,839 --> 00:40:21,839 I I feel like the big nut of expenses 1040 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,680 has been taken care of unless we add 1041 00:40:21,839 --> 00:40:26,680 five more, which we're not going to, 1042 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,680 right? 1043 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,960 Unless we need to at our other sites. 1044 00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:33,200 So, if if there's things that we need to 1045 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:36,240 do as a board to support this program, 1046 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:38,240 um like bless the purchase of $500 mats 1047 00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:40,720 that have served their purpose for five 1048 00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:43,119 years, um if there's things like uh 1049 00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:44,560 helping to nudge outreach to the 1050 00:40:43,119 --> 00:40:46,640 community, it sounds like we we've got 1051 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,200 some some muscle tissue that we had 1052 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,839 worked on with uh prek that maybe could 1053 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,359 now be revisited for TK. That that 1054 00:40:51,839 --> 00:40:55,359 sounds fabulous. I don't know what kind 1055 00:40:53,359 --> 00:40:57,119 of uh cheerleading we can give as a 1056 00:40:55,359 --> 00:40:58,640 board to formally say like yes, you 1057 00:40:57,119 --> 00:41:01,520 know, we we think that's a really good 1058 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,280 idea.

So, this is one of the 1298 00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:51,359 indicators as to why we are um looking 1299 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,520 at our students with disabilities this 1300 00:49:51,359 --> 00:49:56,800 next year. 1301 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:59,280 In terms of our uh just as a summary of 1302 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:03,040 all of the data that we have compiled, 1303 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:05,200 we are looking at some uh declining in 1304 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,880 of chronic absenteem. It is a challenge 1305 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,839 and has been a challenge in the last 1306 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:11,760 couple of years. Um again, when we look 1307 00:50:09,839 --> 00:50:14,000 at our data, we're looking at tracking 1308 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,440 over time, right? Our Pacific Islanders 1309 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,240 has been a subgroup that's been in the 1310 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:20,800 red for two consecutive years in ter in 1311 00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:23,839 this area. um we are working is one of 1312 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,920 our smaller groups but it is in red um 1313 00:50:23,839 --> 00:50:27,680 our African-American students our elasen 1314 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,760 students again all of these have been in 1315 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:32,000 red for several years so we continue to 1316 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:34,319 have to monitor we are making strides 1317 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:37,040 with some of them um but it takes a lot 1318 00:50:34,319 --> 00:50:39,520 of work to put um uh to address chronic 1319 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:42,800 absenteeism we believe we really need to 1320 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:44,640 make a mind a shift in how we address it 1321 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:48,240 so much with parents as well as with all 1322 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:50,000 of our staff um and so we have seen a 1323 00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:52,480 significant ificant increase in chronic 1324 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,160 absentism with we had sorry we had one 1325 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,880 school with significant increase in 1326 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:59,680 chronic absentism but we had six show 1327 00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:02,400 decline. So we want to make sure that we 1328 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,400 keep that at the forefront we didn't 1329 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,520 make as much as we wanted to but we are 1330 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:09,280 making progress. Um this graph again 1331 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,920 it's just showing us over time where 1332 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:15,119 were we at when we look at 2019 when we 1333 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,559 were pandemic we're at 8.7 we are you 1334 00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:18,000 know when you look at this graph you're 1335 00:51:16,559 --> 00:51:20,800 looking at we had a decrease so we're 1336 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,960 slowly starting to make an impact um in 1337 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:25,280 this area. 1338 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,520 So we know that you guys want to know 1339 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,200 how does this relate to our alcap. So we 1340 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,920 did not meet our goal in our ccap 1341 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:35,440 because we wanted to be at 15.4 we met 1342 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:38,160 we only decreased by.9. We're at 17.5 in 1343 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:40,319 this area, but we have a lot in place 1344 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,720 from our ALCAP that we continue. We have 1345 00:51:40,319 --> 00:51:45,280 attendance teams that meet regularly. We 1346 00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:47,119 have our TOSAs. We have lots of outreach 1347 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,760 to families, home visits that we're 1348 00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:51,520 doing. Um, we now this year we've 1349 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,359 created an alternative education for 1350 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:56,079 some of our most chronic students that 1351 00:51:53,359 --> 00:51:58,960 have 50% or below that had met that 1352 00:51:56,079 --> 00:52:01,119 target already since October. 1353 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,640 um we are we have this alternative 1354 00:52:01,119 --> 00:52:05,599 program and even in the alternative 1355 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:08,720 program which is an online in-person we 1356 00:52:05,599 --> 00:52:11,680 are still seeing chronic absenteeism. So 1357 00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:13,119 we are working with families um to help 1358 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:16,079 address this. These are are some of our 1359 00:52:13,119 --> 00:52:17,760 middle school students um and we do have 1360 00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:19,599 a lot of supports at foresight. So 1361 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,599 there's a lot of work that's going into 1362 00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:24,800 this area but it's also a challenging 1363 00:52:21,599 --> 00:52:27,920 area because we have to address many 1364 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,960 different barriers. Um, one of some of 1365 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:32,000 the things that we're seeing and 1366 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,359 especially with our teenagers is some of 1367 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,000 them really don't want to come to 1368 00:52:33,359 --> 00:52:38,640 school. And so we're really trying to 1369 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,480 giving them encouragement and supports. 1370 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,319 Um, in our alternative program, we have 1371 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:44,240 two, we have a teacher as well as a 1372 00:52:42,319 --> 00:52:46,000 mental health support system that is 1373 00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:48,240 meeting with families regularly as well 1374 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,880 and students. So the program just 1375 00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:53,599 started and so children of course like 1376 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:55,839 all students are taking time um to trust 1377 00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:57,440 and so we really need to identify these 1378 00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:59,119 students for some mental health support 1379 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:02,079 as well. So we're now in that process of 1380 00:52:59,119 --> 00:53:04,319 doing that as the program continues 1381 00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:06,079 but it is an area of challenge for us. 1382 00:53:04,319 --> 00:53:07,760 So although we have not met our goal we 1383 00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:10,880 did do a little bit and we continue to 1384 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:13,680 work on it this year. Um in terms of 1385 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:16,000 suspensions again we are when we look at 1386 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:19,280 our how we compare to the state we have 1387 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:22,240 made 1.4 declining and and this is an 1388 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,920 area where we have had great success. So 1389 00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:27,200 we want to make sure we keep that 1390 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:29,200 success up. Again no students in the red 1391 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,839 right so we always look at where do we 1392 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:34,559 have students to focus on. So in summary 1393 00:53:31,839 --> 00:53:36,800 for our suspensions um we have want to 1394 00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:39,920 focus in that we had nine of our schools 1395 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:42,400 who reduced suspensions last year. Um 1396 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:44,319 and we did meet our elk up goal for this 1397 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,880 one. So we really want to highlight that 1398 00:53:44,319 --> 00:53:48,880 our our we are doing a lot of work in 1399 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:51,520 terms of suspensions 1400 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:53,280 um over time. You can see that we've 1401 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:56,559 never had it. I'm glad we've never been 1402 00:53:53,280 --> 00:54:00,240 very high but we are surpassing at 1.1 1403 00:53:56,559 --> 00:54:03,359 and 225 when looking at 2019. So we are 1404 00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:06,079 doing well in this area. 1405 00:54:03,359 --> 00:54:08,720 Um again we meeting with our we did meet 1406 00:54:06,079 --> 00:54:11,440 our goal for our alcap on this one but 1407 00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:13,359 we are continuing to work with our PBIS 1408 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,760 and alternatives to suspensions. This is 1409 00:54:13,359 --> 00:54:17,359 an area that we continue to have 1410 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,280 suspensions. We're just not having them 1411 00:54:17,359 --> 00:54:21,200 in the numbers that we had in the past. 1412 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,040 So we're still working with how do we 1413 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,319 create alternatives to suspensions at 1414 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:27,119 all the school sites especially the 1415 00:54:24,319 --> 00:54:28,960 middle schools. Okay. 1416 00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:31,280 Um in terms of our air English learner 1417 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:35,280 progress again we're looking at we have 1418 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:37,119 maintained this progress um in the area 1419 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,880 although we did reclassify lots of 1420 00:54:37,119 --> 00:54:41,119 students there's different criteria for 1421 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,960 different purposes um so for our 1422 00:54:41,119 --> 00:54:45,359 long-term English learners this is an 1423 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,599 area again seven year students who have 1424 00:54:45,359 --> 00:54:50,960 been in the country for seven years um 1425 00:54:47,599 --> 00:54:52,960 we had a 8.1 increase of students who 1426 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,800 are fed and so that's a wonderful 1427 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:57,760 progress that we've had especially as 1428 00:54:54,800 --> 00:55:00,880 they go into high school. Um, and so 1429 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:02,640 again, this is an area that we are very 1430 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,480 proud of 1431 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:07,119 and a lot of work that went into that 1432 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:09,359 last year. Um, and just in summary from 1433 00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:11,359 our data, we look, we really want to 1434 00:55:09,359 --> 00:55:12,960 make sure that although we maintain we 1435 00:55:11,359 --> 00:55:15,520 made great progress with our long-term 1436 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:18,240 English learners, um, we want to make 1437 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:20,160 sure that uh, we continue this progress 1438 00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:23,200 and report um, and work that we've been 1439 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:25,359 doing in the last several years. Um we 1440 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,119 want to recognize that we did have seven 1441 00:55:25,359 --> 00:55:30,160 schools who increase number of students 1442 00:55:27,119 --> 00:55:32,319 moving up one level on the LP. So we 1443 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,480 have our LPAC which is our our 1444 00:55:32,319 --> 00:55:36,160 assessment our diagnostic but the LP is 1445 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,400 where you have students moving from 1446 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,839 level to level and so we want to 1447 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,960 highlight that we did have students 1448 00:55:39,839 --> 00:55:45,280 moving from levels um on the overall. So 1449 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,280 the the state uses a different metric to 1450 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,720 how do we move one one area to another 1451 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,319 from students to make sure we're 1452 00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:53,119 reclassifying. 1453 00:55:50,319 --> 00:55:55,920 Another um great strength of ours that 1454 00:55:53,119 --> 00:55:57,839 we had for the first time 9.4% of our 1455 00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,640 students with disabilities actually made 1456 00:55:57,839 --> 00:56:01,920 some growth in alternative. So the some 1457 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,520 of the students that have to take an 1458 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:06,319 alternative test for depending on 1459 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:09,520 different areas of need for uh for um 1460 00:56:06,319 --> 00:56:12,799 for their disability. So um we we again 1461 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:15,359 we take that win and that growth and we 1462 00:56:12,799 --> 00:56:17,280 are on track to meet our ELC cap goal 1463 00:56:15,359 --> 00:56:20,319 with number two with 2.9. So we are 1464 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:23,520 making progress on all of these goals. 1465 00:56:20,319 --> 00:56:26,160 Um but we have a lot of work to do. Um 1466 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:28,319 so again just looking at where we are 1467 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:32,079 from the pandemic. We had the increase 1468 00:56:28,319 --> 00:56:34,000 right? We're at 48.1. We we gave over 1469 00:56:32,079 --> 00:56:35,839 last year in the two years prior. our 1470 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,559 highest represented 22 when we first 1471 00:56:35,839 --> 00:56:40,880 came back out of the pandemic. 1472 00:56:38,559 --> 00:56:42,480 Um, but this is just shows our that this 1473 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,760 is the first time if you look at it in 1474 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,200 the last three years that for our 1475 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,359 students with disabilities, we've made 1476 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,760 some good growth there. So, hats off to 1477 00:56:47,359 --> 00:56:52,960 our SLC teachers and ESLC teachers 1478 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:56,000 who've been working with these students. 1479 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,920 Um, and so we are on our goal two for 1480 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,520 ELPAC. I think earlier I said we were on 1481 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:03,520 track, but we are not on track. Sorry 1482 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:06,400 that was my mis um um misstep but we 1483 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:08,799 wanted to be at 45% with our students. 1484 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:11,680 We are only made it up to 41 but we are 1485 00:57:08,799 --> 00:57:14,079 ch taking that 2.9 and continue to move 1486 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:16,240 and work. We have been working with our 1487 00:57:14,079 --> 00:57:18,240 target schools which have been in 1488 00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:20,960 working with Dr. Sagulan for the last 1489 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:23,119 two years. Um lots of progress being 1490 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:26,240 made there with demonstration lessons 1491 00:57:23,119 --> 00:57:28,480 planning and moving forward. Um we also 1492 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:30,400 this year have incorporated more assess 1493 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,119 we have assessments three times a year 1494 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,720 now that we did not do last year. So 1495 00:57:33,119 --> 00:57:37,200 monitor our English progress with our 1496 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:40,079 language power and we now added summit 1497 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:41,599 for middle school students and one of 1498 00:57:40,079 --> 00:57:43,520 the things that we are making sure is 1499 00:57:41,599 --> 00:57:46,079 that all students have EL courses which 1500 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:49,280 is a mandate um and we're holding to 1501 00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:51,119 that. So, uh, Miss Rivera, our multi our 1502 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,799 multilingual director, is very 1503 00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:54,240 consistent at visiting classrooms 1504 00:57:52,799 --> 00:57:57,040 throughout the year, uh, throughout the 1505 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:58,799 weeks. She has a schedule where she's at 1506 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,960 sites and she is monitoring, making sure 1507 00:57:58,799 --> 00:58:03,200 this is happening. 1508 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:06,480 Um, so we're going to move into the 1509 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:08,640 academic area of ELA. So, again, looking 1510 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,079 comparatively at the state level, again, 1511 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:13,359 we're matching state we're in yellow, 1512 00:58:10,079 --> 00:58:15,599 but we did make some growth 11.1 points. 1513 00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:18,319 Although it's small, it's still a win. 1514 00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:21,359 It's better than when we were at before. 1515 00:58:18,319 --> 00:58:24,079 Um so some of our key findings just from 1516 00:58:21,359 --> 00:58:26,079 um the data is that we our priority 1517 00:58:24,079 --> 00:58:28,960 schools schools that were in double 1518 00:58:26,079 --> 00:58:31,599 digits um it had increases. Again I want 1519 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:35,200 to remind you that our priority schools 1520 00:58:31,599 --> 00:58:38,079 two years ago were all in red. We are no 1521 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:40,720 longer in red. We have to take that. We 1522 00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:42,880 have one site with one area. So, I just 1523 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:45,280 want to remind us that the work is been 1524 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:48,160 a lot of work, but we have moved these 1525 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,760 out of the red. Um, and I'm very proud 1526 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,200 of all the work that the teachers and 1527 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:53,119 the students have all put into this 1528 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,440 because it takes a lot to get them out. 1529 00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:57,839 So, um, Hoover, Garfield, Roosevelt, 1530 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,680 McKinley, which were been a lot of our 1531 00:58:57,839 --> 00:59:01,599 work, a lot of good work went in and 1532 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:04,319 they have made some gains. We want to 1533 00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:06,319 keep that momentum going. Um, and so 1534 00:59:04,319 --> 00:59:07,680 again, Taft, Clifford, and Henford also 1535 00:59:06,319 --> 00:59:09,839 made, but they were in more in the 1536 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,599 single digits gains, but still we'll 1537 00:59:09,839 --> 00:59:13,599 take that. It's better than not having 1538 00:59:11,599 --> 00:59:15,920 anything at all. And then we also had 1539 00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:19,359 Alan, Kennedy, and Orion make some move 1540 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:21,520 as well. Um, so we want to just remind 1541 00:59:19,359 --> 00:59:25,119 us that the work is hard, but we are 1542 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:28,640 making growth, steady growth. Um, so for 1543 00:59:25,119 --> 00:59:31,040 our ALCAP goal, we are not on track. Um, 1544 00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:33,040 we missed it. Um, we have a lot of 1545 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,720 growth to have to do this next year. if 1546 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,119 we want to make our goal for next year 1547 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:40,960 which is 15.3% that means we have to 1548 00:59:37,119 --> 00:59:43,200 have an 8.8% increase this year. Um so 1549 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:45,920 we're working hard this year we have put 1550 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:48,480 a lot of actions into our LCAP all based 1551 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:50,559 on reading uh reading uh comprehension 1552 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,079 both in for all our third through fifth 1553 00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:53,680 graders as well as our sixth through 8th 1554 00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:56,640 grade. So our focus is reading 1555 00:59:53,680 --> 01:00:00,160 comprehension which is an area that we 1556 00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:02,240 need. Um we focused in on phonics uh two 1557 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:04,400 years ago and now it's reading uh the 1558 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:07,200 comprehension piece. Um we continue with 1559 01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:10,319 our PLC focuses not only in writing we 1560 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:13,839 reading some sites have math um we and 1561 01:00:10,319 --> 01:00:16,079 again we are making sure that our we 1562 01:00:13,839 --> 01:00:18,000 have assessments built into that now 1563 01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:20,079 that we did not have before. So we have 1564 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:22,160 more regular assessments being done so 1565 01:00:20,079 --> 01:00:23,839 that teachers could use it to guide 1566 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:27,680 their practice and guide student work 1567 01:00:23,839 --> 01:00:30,559 and small group instruction and reading. 1568 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:33,680 Um in math again we're very comparable 1569 01:00:30,559 --> 01:00:36,079 to the state. Um we had 8.6 points where 1570 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:39,200 we made some growth 1571 01:00:36,079 --> 01:00:41,520 very small. Um but we've also had a lot 1572 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,680 of change in curriculum and so going 1573 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:46,799 into that was with our two years with 1574 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:49,440 our new curriculum. Um again when we 1575 01:00:46,799 --> 01:00:51,119 think about our priority schools um that 1576 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:53,440 we've been working on they had 1577 01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:56,079 doubledigit gains which is Ros Garfield, 1578 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:57,920 Rose McKinley and Henry Ford last year. 1579 01:00:56,079 --> 01:01:00,799 We also had Taft Hoover and Clifford 1580 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:02,319 make some gains. Um overall almost all 1581 01:01:00,799 --> 01:01:04,640 our schools made some gains and we're 1582 01:01:02,319 --> 01:01:06,160 really proud to see that that has made 1583 01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:08,799 some progress. It didn't made our goal 1584 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:11,839 but it's okay. We take it. It's slow and 1585 01:01:08,799 --> 01:01:13,599 steady wins the race versus going fast. 1586 01:01:11,839 --> 01:01:15,040 So, and we want to just point out that 1587 01:01:13,599 --> 01:01:18,240 our English learners, which is our 1588 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:20,000 target, also made some gains. All right. 1589 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,760 So, we're we have a lot of work to do 1590 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:24,720 with our English learners to close that 1591 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:26,799 gap, but we are moving towards it. Um, 1592 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,119 and we are maintaining versus um 1593 01:01:26,799 --> 01:01:31,200 slipping back. 1594 01:01:29,119 --> 01:01:33,119 So, when we think about our maintaining 1595 01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,880 in math, we've had a lot. Math has been 1596 01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:38,400 an area and not just in our district but 1597 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:40,880 across the state um where um it it 1598 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:43,760 continues to be a struggle for all of us 1599 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:46,319 as to how we're making progress. Um but 1600 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:48,079 we continue to work on for our case um 1601 01:01:46,319 --> 01:01:51,200 at our professional development coming 1602 01:01:48,079 --> 01:01:53,680 up in um January. We continue to work on 1603 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:56,319 our math centers and we had some 1604 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:57,920 training with our teachers um using the 1605 01:01:56,319 --> 01:01:59,839 apps to make sure they're do using the 1606 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:02,160 apps to support fluency and because that 1607 01:01:59,839 --> 01:02:04,079 is the biggest issue that teachers say 1608 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,520 that kids don't memorize their facts. So 1609 01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:08,319 we're really working on making sure that 1610 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:11,520 we have built in um into the math time 1611 01:02:08,319 --> 01:02:13,440 that fluency practice. Um we are looking 1612 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,839 at math planning sessions as well 1613 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:18,000 working with some of our coaches and as 1614 01:02:15,839 --> 01:02:19,760 you all know our 68 just started their 1615 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:23,040 first year of implementation of the new 1616 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,880 adoption. Um and this year also all 1617 01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,640 grade levels we are having them 1618 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,559 administer chapter tests more 1619 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:31,599 consistently on a consistent basis to 1620 01:02:28,559 --> 01:02:33,760 analyze and work towards um where we are 1621 01:02:31,599 --> 01:02:36,000 where students are to help support them. 1622 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:38,000 So the all of those assessments were not 1623 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,640 in place before. So this year we are 1624 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:43,680 moving forward with that. 1625 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:46,079 So, in closing, I know that we have not 1626 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,760 met our goals. Um, but we are making 1627 01:02:46,079 --> 01:02:49,680 steady progress, and I want to make sure 1628 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,799 that we celebrate our staff and our 1629 01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,680 students for the work that they've 1630 01:02:50,799 --> 01:02:55,920 accomplished as as it's a lot of work. 1631 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,760 Um, I know our teachers put a lot of 1632 01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:00,400 time and effort into everything we do, 1633 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:02,480 as well as our principles, our coaches 1634 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:05,680 who are cons consistently out there 1635 01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:07,760 supporting our staff. Um, and so we are 1636 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:09,839 making progress even though it's not 1637 01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:13,160 showing clearly how you want to see it 1638 01:03:09,839 --> 01:03:13,160 on the data. 1639 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:17,839 >> Thanks Anna for the presentation. Um, 1640 01:03:15,599 --> 01:03:20,319 and also for condensing it down, tying 1641 01:03:17,839 --> 01:03:22,000 everything to the ELCAT. It really like 1642 01:03:20,319 --> 01:03:24,160 um, it really synthesized everything 1643 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,760 that we saw from the raw data into a 1644 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:28,480 presentation I thought personally I 1645 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:31,599 found really really engaging um, to 1646 01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:33,520 follow. So I appreciate that. Um, shall 1647 01:03:31,599 --> 01:03:35,119 we switch to board? I don't think we 1648 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,799 have any public comments, so uh we can 1649 01:03:35,119 --> 01:03:38,400 jump right into board comments 1650 01:03:36,799 --> 01:03:41,400 discussion. 1651 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,400 Um 1652 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,680 >> yeah, Jen. Yeah, go ahead. 1653 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,960 >> More of a tangent. 1654 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,880 >> Yeah, go ahead. 1655 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:49,760 >> Thank you, Anna, for the for the 1656 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:51,760 presentation. Um looking at this 1657 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,599 information and seeing Taft on there a 1658 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,920 few times, it just reminded me of the 1659 01:03:53,599 --> 01:03:59,359 pilot program that we're running there. 1660 01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:01,280 Um could you just um remind me kind of 1661 01:03:59,359 --> 01:04:05,599 what that program is t like what the 1662 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:07,280 pilot is programming at t at taft and if 1663 01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:08,720 we're gonna kind of see a followup and 1664 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,119 kind of how this ties to start from it 1665 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,839 there. 1666 01:04:09,119 --> 01:04:14,559 >> Yeah. So the TAF um pilot that we're 1667 01:04:11,839 --> 01:04:17,280 having is really structured planning 1668 01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:19,839 time um for great the third fourth and 1669 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:23,039 fifth grade teachers. Uh so they pretty 1670 01:04:19,839 --> 01:04:25,039 much have the one afternoon um free for 1671 01:04:23,039 --> 01:04:27,359 them to actually sit and plan. So they 1672 01:04:25,039 --> 01:04:29,359 have at least a 2hour and a half chunk. 1673 01:04:27,359 --> 01:04:31,760 After lunch they are in the classroom 1674 01:04:29,359 --> 01:04:34,480 planning till the end of the day. Um so 1675 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:37,599 we have our Bronna is our coach there. 1676 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:39,520 So she meets with them regularly. Um and 1677 01:04:37,599 --> 01:04:42,240 so we're we bring in the coaches with 1678 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:43,599 math and um our ELA and to really work 1679 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,920 with them on the benchmark. They are 1680 01:04:43,599 --> 01:04:47,920 also piloting our new the benchmark. And 1681 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:50,079 so a lot of the focus has been bringing 1682 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:52,319 in the benchmark um reading 1683 01:04:50,079 --> 01:04:55,200 comprehension focus 1684 01:04:52,319 --> 01:04:58,160 bringing in the CRLP practices that we 1685 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:59,920 have into the benchmark and planning for 1686 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,720 those steps that we're doing. So we're 1687 01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:04,799 combining CRLP with benchmark training 1688 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,400 and impacting working with the teachers 1689 01:05:04,799 --> 01:05:08,880 for planning instruction around reading 1690 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:12,079 comprehension is one of the big areas. 1691 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:13,839 Um and Taft uh PLC work is all around 1692 01:05:12,079 --> 01:05:15,440 reading comprehension for their school 1693 01:05:13,839 --> 01:05:19,599 site. So it sort of ties very easily 1694 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:21,839 into some of the TAF goals this year. 1695 01:05:19,599 --> 01:05:24,160 >> And I assume and I assume this is all 1696 01:05:21,839 --> 01:05:25,920 just kind of integrated with the EL work 1697 01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,160 or is that going to be separate or is 1698 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:27,839 that 1699 01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,440 >> it's pro it's a little bit of everything 1700 01:05:27,839 --> 01:05:31,599 because it's looking at where kids are 1701 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,280 in staff has a high population of 1702 01:05:31,599 --> 01:05:36,240 English learners. So they're really 1703 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:38,559 embedded in all of the work for them. 1704 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:40,720 Okay. 1705 01:05:38,559 --> 01:05:42,480 >> And so yeah, we are working on compiling 1706 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:46,200 some information on how that's going as 1707 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:46,200 well. Other 1708 01:05:47,599 --> 01:05:52,960 questions, comments? 1709 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:54,720 Cecilia. Yeah. Um, thank you for the 1710 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:57,920 presentation and of course, thank you to 1711 01:05:54,720 --> 01:06:00,319 everyone that is putting um all their 1712 01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:02,319 effort, especially the teachers to, you 1713 01:06:00,319 --> 01:06:04,559 know, like you said, it's it's it's 1714 01:06:02,319 --> 01:06:10,000 hard, but we will get there. Um and then 1715 01:06:04,559 --> 01:06:14,000 I just thought since um Ann's um 1716 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:15,760 slide on data is a flashlight um I just 1717 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:18,079 thought well the flashlight is pointing 1718 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:20,640 into the right direction and although at 1719 01:06:18,079 --> 01:06:23,119 the the end of the road may be far we 1720 01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:25,039 will get there with the bright light. 1721 01:06:23,119 --> 01:06:28,480 Um, I just want to see us, you know, 1722 01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:32,400 with a positive. Um, we we need to be 1723 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:34,319 positive and yes, we're said it before, 1724 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:37,039 moving the needle. Maybe it's moving 1725 01:06:34,319 --> 01:06:39,520 slow, but it is moving. So, um, I also 1726 01:06:37,039 --> 01:06:42,079 want to say thank you to all the ELPAC 1727 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:44,079 proctors. Um, I know that it's a lot of 1728 01:06:42,079 --> 01:06:48,240 work that they put into it. um and 1729 01:06:44,079 --> 01:06:50,000 everybody that manages to arrange all 1730 01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:52,160 the testing because I know it's a lot of 1731 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:56,160 work throughout the year at different 1732 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:58,640 times of the year. Um and again, um the 1733 01:06:56,160 --> 01:07:01,680 ELPAC, I'm sorry, the English learners 1734 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:06,480 have maintained and are moving in the 1735 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:10,319 right direction. Um, and I think 1736 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:14,000 we are moving forward, maybe not as fast 1737 01:07:10,319 --> 01:07:16,400 as we want to, but Redwood City teachers 1738 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,880 and staff do put in a lot of work. And 1739 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:21,520 so um, just like you said, we we do want 1740 01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:23,760 to thank them because um, it's not an 1741 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:25,680 easy task, but again, they're doing it 1742 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,559 every single day. So, I just want to say 1743 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,119 thank you. 1744 01:07:26,559 --> 01:07:31,039 >> Thank you. 1745 01:07:29,119 --> 01:07:32,799 >> Thanks, Cecilia.

So, I I love getting to go and 1749 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,640 look at the data and the data behind 1750 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,480 this presentation. Thank you for 1751 01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,920 condensing, but similarly, thank you for 1752 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,359 the raw data as well, because it's great 1753 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,280 to see. And and when you go through 1754 01:07:45,359 --> 01:07:49,039 that, it becomes clear that there's some 1755 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,520 data points that are extremely strong. 1756 01:07:49,039 --> 01:07:53,760 You know, I was really impressed by the 1757 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,760 rate of improvement of ELA in Roosevelt 1758 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,760 and MIT in particular. Those were really 1759 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,440 strong numbers. We saw uh some good 1760 01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:03,599 movement from Garfield and Hoover as 1761 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:05,440 well. Um and 1762 01:08:03,599 --> 01:08:06,720 anytime we're trying things and we have 1763 01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,920 a big needle to move, some of the things 1764 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,280 that we try are going to work out and 1765 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,359 some aren't, right? And it's not a 1766 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,280 judgment call of like good teachers and 1767 01:08:11,359 --> 01:08:15,520 bad teachers or like good ideas and bad 1768 01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:17,440 ideas, but it's just it's it's about our 1769 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:20,640 district being in a learning process 1770 01:08:17,440 --> 01:08:22,319 itself. And so it would be great to see 1771 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,480 can we take some of those things that 1772 01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:27,040 seemingly have worked really well for 1773 01:08:24,480 --> 01:08:28,880 ELA development at Roosevelt and MIT and 1774 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,560 make sure that those are rolled out more 1775 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:33,600 broadly across the other schools in the 1776 01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:35,279 district. Like um it I I I would love 1777 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,199 just a little more color about how we're 1778 01:08:35,279 --> 01:08:39,839 doing how that how we're finding the 1779 01:08:37,199 --> 01:08:42,719 wins and and copy pasting them as 1780 01:08:39,839 --> 01:08:44,480 quickly as we can across the district. 1781 01:08:42,719 --> 01:08:47,520 >> And Dr. Baker and I have talked about 1782 01:08:44,480 --> 01:08:50,640 this. We have to invest in providing 1783 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:53,920 coaches and planning time because that's 1784 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:54,159 really what's making the difference. 1785 01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,480 >> Okay. 1786 01:08:54,159 --> 01:08:59,600 >> Dedicated planning time to what we want 1787 01:08:56,480 --> 01:09:01,279 to do. Um so that teachers and having 1788 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,960 coaches that really help support the 1789 01:09:01,279 --> 01:09:05,040 endeavor. 1790 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,560 >> Yeah. It it it does help move the 1791 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:09,679 needle. Right now we don't have coaches 1792 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:12,640 at each of the sites. And um on our 1793 01:09:09,679 --> 01:09:15,920 target sites, we have had a lot of a lot 1794 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:18,560 of movement into those target sites. And 1795 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:21,040 so we are seeing a lot of that work and 1796 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:22,960 it's also dedicated planning time built 1797 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:25,520 in throughout the day. So they have 1798 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:28,400 release time to plan and work on what 1799 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:30,640 needs to be done um to help. So that is 1800 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:33,040 a a key issue that needs we need to 1801 01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:34,480 continue um across and we know that 1802 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,759 teachers keep asking we want more 1803 01:09:34,480 --> 01:09:37,520 planning time. planning time. It's 1804 01:09:35,759 --> 01:09:40,159 really it need to be dedicated planning 1805 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:43,040 time without interruptions. And so we 1806 01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:45,839 have been fortunate at our school sites 1807 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,520 um to have guest teachers this year. 1808 01:09:45,839 --> 01:09:49,359 Some of our school sites we've we've 1809 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:51,839 added two guest teachers to some of our 1810 01:09:49,359 --> 01:09:53,120 high priority sites. Um and so that 1811 01:09:51,839 --> 01:09:54,880 really helps with the planning because 1812 01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:56,400 they're not worried about am I going to 1813 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,080 get a sub, am I going to get this? They 1814 01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:00,800 have two dedicated people who can help 1815 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:02,560 relieve, you know, take over a classroom 1816 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,000 so teachers can plan. So that has been 1817 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:06,080 one of the things that I think that has 1818 01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,560 been very beneficial and having that 1819 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,120 dedicated time for some of our staff. 1820 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,520 >> Okay. 1821 01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:13,920 >> Yeah. And we've had that at Roosevelt 1822 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:16,480 had two guest features last year. U 1823 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:18,880 McKenley has it this year. Hoover has it 1824 01:10:16,480 --> 01:10:21,040 this year as well. Um Garfield had it 1825 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:24,000 last year as well. 1826 01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:26,640 >> Got it. Thank you. Um anytime we we have 1827 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,560 a goal and we if we do hit it, it's very 1828 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,400 easy like yay, we did awesome, right? 1829 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:33,440 Like and that's fine. But um when we 1830 01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:36,239 when we miss a goal um I I I think it 1831 01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:38,560 can be helpful to ask like well were we 1832 01:10:36,239 --> 01:10:40,159 being overly optimistic. Were did we 1833 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,920 just make these numbers up or did we 1834 01:10:40,159 --> 01:10:43,440 have specific interventions in mind that 1835 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,520 we thought credibly could move the 1836 01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:47,199 needle that much and then we tried them 1837 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,880 and some of them worked but actually 1838 01:10:47,199 --> 01:10:50,960 some of them didn't. Um, and then that's 1839 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:53,520 a learning moment or just like what 1840 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,960 what's behind um the miss because I I 1841 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:57,040 think in particular I look at the math 1842 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:58,800 slide, right, where we made no motion at 1843 01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:00,080 all and it's like oh that really stings, 1844 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:03,440 right? And this got to sting for 1845 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:06,320 everyone, right? Um and and I wonder 1846 01:11:03,440 --> 01:11:08,560 like what did we try that that didn't 1847 01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:10,239 work out the degree to which we expected 1848 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:13,600 that it would work out and then how are 1849 01:11:10,239 --> 01:11:14,960 we going to change course to to credibly 1850 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,120 start moving the needle in the right 1851 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,800 direction? Well, and just because you're 1852 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,719 bringing up math, I mean, math, this is 1853 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:22,960 our second year. This we finished our 1854 01:11:20,719 --> 01:11:25,120 second year with our new program. I 1855 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:28,560 think this year 1856 01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:31,120 I am. And so, I do think that with the 1857 01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,719 math new curriculum, the teachers were 1858 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:35,120 still learning in their second year. I 1859 01:11:32,719 --> 01:11:36,800 think this year as we are looking and 1860 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:39,120 being in classrooms and observing 1861 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,880 teachers there's definitely some more 1862 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,199 growth that has happened this last year 1863 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:45,199 between the years as they become more 1864 01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:46,400 proficient as to what are the needs in 1865 01:11:45,199 --> 01:11:47,840 the classroom how they're using 1866 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:51,120 assessments to really guide that 1867 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:53,679 instruction. Um so I think this year as 1868 01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:55,040 as they solidify teachers solidify their 1869 01:11:53,679 --> 01:11:58,000 learning and we provide them 1870 01:11:55,040 --> 01:12:00,159 opportunities to plan especially in the 1871 01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:02,719 in the K2 where we are providing them 1872 01:12:00,159 --> 01:12:05,360 time for planning with centers looking 1873 01:12:02,719 --> 01:12:08,080 at fluency to build it because as we all 1874 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:09,840 know just thinking about TK if we build 1875 01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,600 that foundation when they're younger 1876 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,920 with that fluency they get better when 1877 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,520 they're in the upper grades and so we 1878 01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,960 really need to build that fluency to 1879 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,360 help with the math. So I think it's 1880 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,800 starting in kinder TK that are coming in 1881 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:23,280 and then building those skills with the 1882 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:25,679 critical thinking. Um so I think with 1883 01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:27,520 with math we have a long way to go is 1884 01:12:25,679 --> 01:12:29,440 one of our areas that's not our 1885 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:31,280 strongest. We haven't we've really 1886 01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:33,199 invested a lot more time in reading in 1887 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,080 the last couple of years. Not enough in 1888 01:12:33,199 --> 01:12:34,880 math. 1889 01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,400 >> Um 1890 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,400 >> just to be clear I I agree with the 1891 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:40,159 stack prioritization. Literary literacy 1892 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:42,400 comes first then math then everything 1893 01:12:40,159 --> 01:12:43,520 else. Right. So that's I mean so that 1894 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:47,280 I'm going to be honest that's where our 1895 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:49,520 focus was and has been and a lot of the 1896 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:51,600 reading math today has a lot of reading 1897 01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:54,159 components. So we that's why our focus 1898 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:56,239 is so much on the reading comprehension. 1899 01:12:54,159 --> 01:12:58,000 Um but there are areas in math that we 1900 01:12:56,239 --> 01:12:59,280 still have to tighten up with our staff 1901 01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,880 and planning. 1902 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:03,520 >> That all makes sense and thank you so 1903 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:08,080 much. Um what I struggle with a little 1904 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:10,320 bit is like um we're we're the degree to 1905 01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:13,199 which we are not seeing forward progress 1906 01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:15,360 because uh it's kind of year two for 1907 01:13:13,199 --> 01:13:19,520 this this new curriculum, right? And is 1908 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:22,560 it I guess if I could sort of imagine um 1909 01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:26,320 haha uh pun intended around the the the 1910 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:28,080 impact of a new curriculum David the the 1911 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:30,800 impact of a new curriculum roll out over 1912 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:33,280 time. It sort of sounds like implicitly 1913 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,880 the the first year or two is is almost a 1914 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,239 backslide as the teachers have to 1915 01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,640 scramble to figure out how to teach the 1916 01:13:36,239 --> 01:13:40,400 new curriculum and then like what I'm 1917 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:42,800 curious about is like what's the shape 1918 01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:44,960 of the payoff curve, right? Like do we 1919 01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:46,640 see like year three is where it really 1920 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:48,640 comes to life and we start seeing some 1921 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,640 nice forward motion and please for the 1922 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,560 love of God trustees do not change the 1923 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:55,040 math curriculum again and like year four 1924 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,719 you're going to torpedo you know the 1925 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:59,199 teachers being in the sweet spot of like 1926 01:13:56,719 --> 01:14:02,000 finally having nailed the the the way to 1927 01:13:59,199 --> 01:14:04,239 teach Imagine Math. I mean, it is a 1928 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,320 different way of teaching and the ma 1929 01:14:04,239 --> 01:14:07,760 imagine math. Not only is it a a 1930 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:10,400 different way of teaching, it's a 1931 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:13,199 different way for our teachers to change 1932 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:16,159 and learn how we're we're we have to 1933 01:14:13,199 --> 01:14:18,640 change our thinking as a teacher in math 1934 01:14:16,159 --> 01:14:20,320 to this critical way of opening it up to 1935 01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:22,080 more open-ended, right? And that's a 1936 01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:23,600 struggle for a lot of staff. We want to 1937 01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,760 give them the algorithm because we know 1938 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:28,640 the algorithm works but it's not getting 1939 01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:30,239 them the back end of what was needed for 1940 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,480 algebra and for the courses that are 1941 01:14:30,239 --> 01:14:35,280 ahead. So we have to really back. So it 1942 01:14:32,480 --> 01:14:37,760 is it is it does take time to teach. I 1943 01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:39,679 think one of the things that um we've 1944 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,840 added this year that we didn't do last 1945 01:14:39,679 --> 01:14:44,159 year. Last year we attempted and I say 1946 01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:46,800 attempted okay because 1947 01:14:44,159 --> 01:14:48,560 >> we attempted to add three times where 1948 01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:51,120 they had to assess students. 1949 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:53,280 Unfortunately, it wasn't in the We were 1950 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:54,719 hoping they would be on pacing guide, 1951 01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,320 right? But if they're not on the pacing 1952 01:14:54,719 --> 01:14:58,719 guide, they miss they Oh, well, we have 1953 01:14:56,320 --> 01:15:00,159 we're doing the assessment, but because 1954 01:14:58,719 --> 01:15:01,280 you're telling us, not because that's 1955 01:15:00,159 --> 01:15:03,199 where we're at. 1956 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:05,760 >> So, this So, last year we had three 1957 01:15:03,199 --> 01:15:07,600 assessments built in. We missed the mark 1958 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,520 where being online for many of the 1959 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:12,320 sites. Some sites were, it was a hit or 1960 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:13,920 miss. This year they're a little bit 1961 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,760 more aligned because everyone's doing 1962 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:18,000 the assessments and having common time 1963 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:19,679 for that and principles are monitoring 1964 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,239 those assessments with their staff. 1965 01:15:19,679 --> 01:15:23,360 >> Sure. 1966 01:15:20,239 --> 01:15:26,080 >> So that is a change that we did not have 1967 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:27,679 in place at all and assessments do guide 1968 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,440 instruction if we're looking at them 1969 01:15:27,679 --> 01:15:33,280 consistently. Right. 1970 01:15:29,440 --> 01:15:35,679 >> Sure. Are we expecting to see growth in 1971 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:37,679 math based on our current plans and 1972 01:15:35,679 --> 01:15:39,520 based on teachers now entering into 1973 01:15:37,679 --> 01:15:40,800 third year of IM and having that 1974 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,560 experience under their belt? 1975 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:44,080 >> I would say yes, we are. I think we're 1976 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:46,880 on I mean we've all been in classrooms 1977 01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:48,960 and looking at what kids are doing um 1978 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:51,040 and sharing some of those mathematical 1979 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:53,280 thinking practice that we're asking. We 1980 01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,800 are seeing some changes in even in 1981 01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:56,960 students. 1982 01:15:54,800 --> 01:16:00,159 The piece that is still lacking and this 1983 01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:03,600 is I know we're 1984 01:16:00,159 --> 01:16:05,920 having to work within a budget um is the 1985 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:08,960 coaching piece and it's very important. 1986 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:11,920 I was just looking at my notes from AEC 1987 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:14,640 uh that I have here at the different um 1988 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:16,880 >> sessions that I went to and the schools 1989 01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:20,320 that have made the most progress and I'm 1990 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:23,679 looking at it uh this come on get out of 1991 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:26,960 here uh a school at district in Long 1992 01:16:23,679 --> 01:16:29,040 Beach um was not only in the language 1993 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:30,960 arts which they spoke a lot about but it 1994 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,320 was the coaching and the math also 1995 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,520 especially when you're getting a new 1996 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:36,960 curriculum 1997 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:39,760 >> and um and And the the piece with this 1998 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:41,679 school district, it's taken them to move 1999 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:43,920 that needle to where they want it to be. 2000 01:16:41,679 --> 01:16:46,560 It's taken them six years, but it was 2001 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,520 consistent. They the board did not did 2002 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:51,040 not 2003 01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:54,159 >> move in any fashion against of putting 2004 01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:55,920 the PD and the coaches in the classroom. 2005 01:16:54,159 --> 01:16:58,080 Now, it meant that the board and the 2006 01:16:55,920 --> 01:17:00,560 superintendent had to agree that you 2007 01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:03,280 were not going to deviate from that from 2008 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:04,719 some thing that you hear somewhere. No, 2009 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:07,199 you're going to stick with for a good 2010 01:17:04,719 --> 01:17:09,360 they agreed to a five-year period, but 2011 01:17:07,199 --> 01:17:12,159 now it's been six. 2012 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,920 The scores are they're there, but they 2013 01:17:12,159 --> 01:17:15,040 have the coaching, they have the 2014 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,640 planning time, 2015 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:19,199 >> and it's there and they're monitoring 2016 01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:22,719 it. So, what I'm hearing is the payoff 2017 01:17:19,199 --> 01:17:27,120 curve is on the order of six years and 2018 01:17:22,719 --> 01:17:29,040 involves consistent coaching and we can 2019 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,239 have the patience if we feel like we're 2020 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:32,880 on the right track here. 2021 01:17:30,239 --> 01:17:34,080 >> We have one coach. It sounds like we are 2022 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,880 deficient this. 2023 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:38,400 >> So I mean we have one coach, one coach. 2024 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,640 So that is deficient. 2025 01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,719 >> Yeah. 2026 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,960 >> Sorry. Where's the coach? Um where's 2027 01:17:40,719 --> 01:17:45,440 >> Oh, we have we have a K5 coach and then 2028 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:47,600 we have one we have one K5 coach and one 2029 01:17:45,440 --> 01:17:49,520 middle school coach. But I think about 2030 01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:51,600 our biggest Yeah. 2031 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:53,520 >> Yeah. To support all the schools. 2032 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:57,120 >> Okay. 2033 01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:59,600 I I think I suspect that David Weekley 2034 01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:03,280 and I are thinking on the same lines. I 2035 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:06,960 think one thing is totally heard on the 2036 01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:07,920 new curriculum piece. Um but and this is 2037 01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,239 why it's really helpful to see 2038 01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:12,000 disagregated data. Everyone's going 2039 01:18:10,239 --> 01:18:14,320 through the new curriculum, but we are 2040 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,440 still seeing uneven changes in 2041 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:18,239 achievement. 2042 01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:20,239 >> And and again, this is not a good or 2043 01:18:18,239 --> 01:18:22,880 bad. It's like I think that should 2044 01:18:20,239 --> 01:18:25,280 inform well what happened at the sites 2045 01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:28,480 that did have a lot of improvement that 2046 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:30,960 we can replicate elsewhere. And I think 2047 01:18:28,480 --> 01:18:33,440 that I fear we're not like as a board 2048 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:35,760 aren't getting enough detail into that 2049 01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:38,080 insight to understand and have the 2050 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:41,040 confidence that okay we can we can stay 2051 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:43,679 the course. Um but so that's one point 2052 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:46,159 but to Dr. Baker your point and I think 2053 01:18:43,679 --> 01:18:48,800 to what uh Trusty Weekly said earlier in 2054 01:18:46,159 --> 01:18:49,920 my view I first of all I do think goals 2055 01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:52,560 are important. I'll say more about that 2056 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:54,880 later, but if we're not hitting our 2057 01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:56,640 goals consistently, I think one of at 2058 01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:59,440 least one of three things has to be 2059 01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:02,000 true. Either one, the goals are 2060 01:18:59,440 --> 01:19:04,000 unrealistic, and that could be because 2061 01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,360 they're just moonshots. It could be 2062 01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,640 because we don't have enough resources. 2063 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,920 It could be a bunch of reasons, but if 2064 01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:10,320 they're not if they're not realistic, 2065 01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:12,159 that's one reason. A second reason is 2066 01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:13,679 that our strategies we came in with and 2067 01:19:12,159 --> 01:19:16,640 they were informed and they were wrong 2068 01:19:13,679 --> 01:19:18,719 or not completely right. Or the third 2069 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:21,600 possibility is our execution of those 2070 01:19:18,719 --> 01:19:24,320 strategies is not going right. And 2071 01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:26,480 again, not a blame, but like we just got 2072 01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:29,440 to figure that out. And I'm I'm afraid 2073 01:19:26,480 --> 01:19:31,280 that if we consistently cue to goals 2074 01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:34,719 that we're not meeting, then the meaning 2075 01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:37,360 of those goals becomes less and less, 2076 01:19:34,719 --> 01:19:40,080 right? Because people have to feel like 2077 01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,520 they have a chance at success. And if 2078 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:45,520 we're not if we're not getting that 2079 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:47,760 consistently, that that's my fear. 2080 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:50,320 I mean, I understand, but we had a 4% 2081 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:52,400 increase. That is not a lot. That was 2082 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:55,600 our goal. And when we looked at the data 2083 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:57,440 to create LCAP goals, it we had never 2084 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,440 been achieving anything. I mean, we had 2085 01:19:57,440 --> 01:20:03,600 not been achieving for our English 2086 01:19:59,440 --> 01:20:06,159 learners, not even 1%. So 4% was like, 2087 01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:08,480 let's look at what we can maybe a little 2088 01:20:06,159 --> 01:20:10,960 bit achievable. We're not achieving it. 2089 01:20:08,480 --> 01:20:12,880 You're right. We're not. We are on we're 2090 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:15,280 maintaining. We're looking forward. We 2091 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:17,920 have a lot of changes, but we can't be 2092 01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:20,320 changing every single year what we're 2093 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:23,520 doing because it takes time to 2094 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:25,600 implement. Um, and our teachers are 2095 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:27,760 working as hard. We're providing 2096 01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:31,199 professional development, but it takes 2097 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:34,320 time and and and I know our English 2098 01:20:31,199 --> 01:20:37,520 learners need need the supports. There 2099 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:40,239 is not one of us or here on this cabinet 2100 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:41,760 that does not agree that we need to we 2101 01:20:40,239 --> 01:20:43,280 need to support our English learners. 2102 01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:46,159 And that's what our goal was because 2103 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:48,080 that's who we're failing. Um, as an 2104 01:20:46,159 --> 01:20:51,360 English learner coming up in this in 2105 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:54,640 this in this uh in the United States, I 2106 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:56,239 understand I understand the struggles, 2107 01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:59,920 right? And that's why we have been 2108 01:20:56,239 --> 01:21:01,840 putting so much emphasis on our teachers 2109 01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:03,440 and the professional development on the 2110 01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:06,159 English road map on the English 2111 01:21:03,440 --> 01:21:07,600 framework for them to understand what it 2112 01:21:06,159 --> 01:21:10,400 takes. 2113 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:12,159 You can't change practice without having 2114 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:15,040 professional development and coaching to 2115 01:21:12,159 --> 01:21:16,800 help support it. So yes, we are working 2116 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:19,280 towards that. We don't have enough 2117 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:20,800 coaches, not in the math, not in and not 2118 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:23,120 we don't have enough coaches. We know 2119 01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:24,960 that. And I came into this position. I 2120 01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,719 said, Dr. Baker, we need coaches at the 2121 01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:30,000 sites. 2122 01:21:26,719 --> 01:21:32,480 I was a coach here in Redwood City 2123 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:35,280 for seven years. So I understand what 2124 01:21:32,480 --> 01:21:37,360 coaching takes. I understand what the 2125 01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:40,560 movement does, but the program that I 2126 01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:44,239 was coaching, it took us five years to 2127 01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:47,520 make Hoover change. It took again five 2128 01:21:44,239 --> 01:21:50,320 years with a lot of work, coaching, 2129 01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:52,560 modeling, professional development. It's 2130 01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:55,120 not going to be over. It's not going to 2131 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:57,280 be from one day to the next. So, if you 2132 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:59,679 guys want me to invest in coaching and 2133 01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:01,520 math, then we have to look at our LCAP 2134 01:21:59,679 --> 01:22:03,199 and see what we need to change and take 2135 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,400 out so that we can support that. And I'm 2136 01:22:03,199 --> 01:22:06,880 I'm happy to do that. 2137 01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:09,360 >> That that is exactly what I'm asking. To 2138 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:12,400 to be clear, I'm not discounting the 2139 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:14,560 difficulty that making these monumental 2140 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:17,679 changes requires. I'm totally bought 2141 01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:21,679 into that. And I'm totally bought into 2142 01:22:17,679 --> 01:22:23,199 the notion that it takes time because 2143 01:22:21,679 --> 01:22:25,679 the same way that we just talked about 2144 01:22:23,199 --> 01:22:28,000 in TK that you don't get literacy in 2145 01:22:25,679 --> 01:22:29,520 third grade just in third grade. I 2146 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,520 understand all of that. That all takes 2147 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:34,159 time. But again, that to me that goes 2148 01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:36,880 back to the question of did we did we 2149 01:22:34,159 --> 01:22:39,120 set a bar in the first year 2150 01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:41,440 that was unrealistic given the resources 2151 01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:44,080 that we currently have. And if the 2152 01:22:41,440 --> 01:22:46,000 answer is yes, like that that's okay. We 2153 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:48,320 should revisit that. And if the answer 2154 01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:50,880 is we still believe firmly in these 2155 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:53,120 goals, but we need to dedicate resources 2156 01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:55,440 that really support that, that's also 2157 01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:58,159 okay. But I think we just need to have 2158 01:22:55,440 --> 01:22:59,760 that discussion pretty transparently. 2159 01:22:58,159 --> 01:23:01,120 >> But and then that's fine. I just don't 2160 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,840 think we have an ALCAP that's a 2161 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:05,760 three-year plan, right? And we're trying 2162 01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:09,360 we didn't achieve the goals in the last 2163 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:11,120 plan at all. And so we those were 2164 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:13,520 percentages that we had to meet. We 2165 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:15,679 didn't meet them either. So, you know, 2166 01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:17,360 when I looked at numbers and we could 2167 01:23:15,679 --> 01:23:18,880 have done overall and I said no, our 2168 01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:21,040 English learners is where the work needs 2169 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:22,960 to go to and that's the work that we've 2170 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:26,639 been moving forward was has been a lot 2171 01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:29,040 of that. Um, but we also have have to 2172 01:23:26,639 --> 01:23:30,960 figure out, you know, I don't think it's 2173 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:33,520 unachievable. I think we're gaining 2174 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:35,679 momentum. Uh, and I do hope that this 2175 01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:38,080 year we gain a lot more momentum and all 2176 01:23:35,679 --> 01:23:39,760 the work that we've done with the math, 2177 01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,679 um, with the teachers and the planning 2178 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:44,880 and the PLC's, all the work that we're 2179 01:23:41,679 --> 01:23:47,280 trying to do to get the move the needle. 2180 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,960 Um, I don't think that we should be 2181 01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:51,040 looking at and changing any goals 2182 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:54,159 because we have to maintain what we're 2183 01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:55,840 doing and be consistent. Um, and this is 2184 01:23:54,159 --> 01:23:57,360 what the teachers are asking for. The 2185 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,840 teachers are asking for, please don't 2186 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:02,239 bring in one more new thing. Please let 2187 01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,840 us just maintain and be better at the 2188 01:24:02,239 --> 01:24:06,080 craft that we're trying to do with the 2189 01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:07,520 changes we're trying to do. And that 2190 01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,760 really is honoring the teachers that 2191 01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:11,440 we're making a lot of changes and we can 2192 01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:13,600 be changing every single year. So, 2193 01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:15,760 right. So, I know that it's hard. I know 2194 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:17,679 it's hard work and I'm willing to invest 2195 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:20,800 in making sure we have coaches at our 2196 01:24:17,679 --> 01:24:22,800 sites. Um, but we only have our LC cup 2197 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:26,000 with so much money, right, that I can 2198 01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:28,800 invest in. And in times we're trying to 2199 01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:31,920 reduce staffing. It's also an issue of 2200 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:34,080 how do we impact what we're trying to do 2201 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:36,480 with our with our goals to help move 2202 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:38,480 them forward when we only have so much 2203 01:24:36,480 --> 01:24:40,880 money for so much work. We were we have 2204 01:24:38,480 --> 01:24:43,679 invested we're resting in tutoring at 2205 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:45,360 all of our sites. Some are math tutoring 2206 01:24:43,679 --> 01:24:47,440 and mo most of our sites have math 2207 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:50,239 tutoring at our target sites. We've seen 2208 01:24:47,440 --> 01:24:52,000 strides there. Um, but we don't offer it 2209 01:24:50,239 --> 01:24:54,000 to all our students that are not on 2210 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:56,080 campus. We have online tutor. I mean, we 2211 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:57,920 have teacher tutoring. I mean, we're 2212 01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:59,840 investing money in tutoring. We're 2213 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:01,760 investing PIPO, but we do definitely 2214 01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:04,320 need more math coaches if we want to 2215 01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:08,560 make some more strides. 2216 01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:09,920 So again, I'm not suggesting 2217 01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:11,600 well really I'm not trying to suggest 2218 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:15,120 anything in terms of LCAP other than 2219 01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:19,440 just what are we are we thinking about 2220 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:21,520 this strategically and consciously and 2221 01:25:19,440 --> 01:25:23,440 even when I when I say if we revisit the 2222 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:28,080 LCAP I'm not suggesting difference in 2223 01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:31,679 practice I'm saying is 17% still the 2224 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:33,760 right number or is 15 what is some other 2225 01:25:31,679 --> 01:25:36,080 number more appropriate 2226 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:38,159 I I just want to make sure that we are 2227 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:40,560 having wins that that is actually 2228 01:25:38,159 --> 01:25:42,239 appropriately reflected with our 2229 01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:44,960 expectations. 2230 01:25:42,239 --> 01:25:46,639 Putting that aside, the second piece, 2231 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:48,080 this goes back to the same conversation 2232 01:25:46,639 --> 01:25:50,560 or the comment that I made earlier with 2233 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:52,639 TK, which is I'm really really concerned 2234 01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:55,600 about the funding issue that we have. 2235 01:25:52,639 --> 01:25:59,920 Like we we don't have enough funding, 2236 01:25:55,600 --> 01:26:03,120 period. But we it is our duty to 2237 01:25:59,920 --> 01:26:05,920 convince the public why we need more 2238 01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:08,080 money. And so when the answer is we have 2239 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:09,920 these goals and they're ambitious and 2240 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,600 we're going to do the best that we can, 2241 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:13,840 but it's going to make it that much more 2242 01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:16,159 feasible if we have X amount because 2243 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:18,480 that allows us to get coaching, Y amount 2244 01:26:16,159 --> 01:26:20,880 because that allows us to send, you 2245 01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:23,440 know, whatever else that tutoring that's 2246 01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:25,679 going to be more powerful. And it's 2247 01:26:23,440 --> 01:26:26,960 again, we don't have to put this out in 2248 01:26:25,679 --> 01:26:29,199 the public meeting right now, but like 2249 01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:30,639 that is that is what I'm hungry for that 2250 01:26:29,199 --> 01:26:33,199 information so that I can be the 2251 01:26:30,639 --> 01:26:36,400 advocate for our district for the rest 2252 01:26:33,199 --> 01:26:38,000 of the public. So, look, I know that 2253 01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:40,159 this is this is getting into an 2254 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:42,320 uncomfortable conversation, but I think 2255 01:26:40,159 --> 01:26:43,760 I think it's necessary and I do think 2256 01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:46,000 all of us are on the same page of like 2257 01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:49,520 it is a necessary conversation because 2258 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:52,400 we don't have the time to lose. like 2259 01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:55,840 every single year is another generation 2260 01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:58,239 of students that we could be passing by. 2261 01:26:55,840 --> 01:27:01,120 And so I know you all know that. I I 2262 01:26:58,239 --> 01:27:03,120 know that. But we need to make sure that 2263 01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:04,560 the public also understands that and 2264 01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,080 that we're being conscientious and that 2265 01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,679 we're being strategic about every single 2266 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,360 dollar that we're spending. Every single 2267 01:27:07,679 --> 01:27:12,320 minute that we're spending is going 2268 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:13,679 towards the right stuff. So again, I 2269 01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,199 understand it's an uncomfortable piece, 2270 01:27:13,679 --> 01:27:18,199 but that is where all this is coming 2271 01:27:15,199 --> 01:27:18,199 from. 2272 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,719 Thank you. 2273 01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:26,080 >> Any other any other questions or 2274 01:27:22,719 --> 01:27:28,800 comments from trustees? 2275 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:31,280 Uh no.

Thanks for thanks for clarifying 2607 01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:51,840 it. Um 2608 01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:54,400 shall we move on to the next one? I say 2609 01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:57,360 we do 75 and 76. we can discuss them 2610 01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:58,560 together. Um they're both it's different 2611 01:40:57,360 --> 01:41:01,520 classific you know employee 2612 01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:03,840 classifications it's 4235 and 4335 but 2613 01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:06,800 it's both soliciting and selling and uh 2614 01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:08,320 the wording is verbatim the same. 2615 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:11,280 There's a good question that popped up 2616 01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:13,199 from David Weekly, Trusty Weekly, uh, 2617 01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:15,600 regarding, you know, what would occur 2618 01:41:13,199 --> 01:41:17,840 if, let's say, a teacher was writing a 2619 01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:20,000 book and wanted to sell it. And this 2620 01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:21,840 board policy would allude that the 2621 01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:24,719 teacher couldn't use district resources 2622 01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:26,880 or district sources of directory 2623 01:41:24,719 --> 01:41:28,159 information or so forth to do that. I 2624 01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,920 don't think that's so much of an issue, 2625 01:41:28,159 --> 01:41:32,320 at least not something I'm aware of 2626 01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:34,719 currently. This is different than, for 2627 01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:36,480 example, teachers tutoring after school 2628 01:41:34,719 --> 01:41:38,800 in their own classroom and potentially 2629 01:41:36,480 --> 01:41:41,199 could solicit like, oh, I'm a tutor for 2630 01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:44,159 math, you know, I'm available. There's a 2631 01:41:41,199 --> 01:41:46,239 different policy for that. Uh, and 2632 01:41:44,159 --> 01:41:47,760 actually the previous the majority of 2633 01:41:46,239 --> 01:41:49,199 the previous board, Cecilia was still 2634 01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:51,520 on, I think, and perhaps Mike at the 2635 01:41:49,199 --> 01:41:53,280 time, looked at that policy and and made 2636 01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:55,119 allocations for teachers to be able to 2637 01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:56,719 do that. So, since your inquiry that 2638 01:41:55,119 --> 01:41:59,119 popped into my mind, but I think that's 2639 01:41:56,719 --> 01:42:01,920 the only one I can think of um where 2640 01:41:59,119 --> 01:42:04,639 that might be a little uh but this 2641 01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:08,280 appears to me of more of a product uh 2642 01:42:04,639 --> 01:42:08,280 the way I read it. 2643 01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:11,199 Just so folks are clear, I just wanted 2644 01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:13,040 to make sure that we didn't about 2645 01:42:11,199 --> 01:42:14,719 accidentally prohibit something that was 2646 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:16,560 happening today that we actually like 2647 01:42:14,719 --> 01:42:18,480 happening like if a teacher was part of 2648 01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:20,400 a author illustrator fair or something 2649 01:42:18,480 --> 01:42:22,800 like that. 2650 01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:24,880 >> Yeah.

Um 2689 01:43:55,199 --> 01:43:58,560 you know, we we need to report, but the 2690 01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:02,800 board policy committee actually struck 2691 01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:04,239 that 500 figure out. uh and my memory 2692 01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:05,520 was it so correct me if I'm wrong board 2693 01:44:04,239 --> 01:44:07,600 policy committee because we go through 2694 01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:11,600 so many we have a meeting tomorrow too I 2695 01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:13,760 might add is that um we know that when 2696 01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:16,560 one student account is compromised we of 2697 01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:19,679 course notify the student and family um 2698 01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:21,280 and the concern was that this would be a 2699 01:44:19,679 --> 01:44:23,920 problem right for the the people 2700 01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:27,199 affected so where it gets the n goes up 2701 01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:30,800 to 500 500 is the notification 2702 01:44:27,199 --> 01:44:34,159 um for families the attorney etc so that 2703 01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:37,360 range range was um we knew notifications 2704 01:44:34,159 --> 01:44:40,159 had to occur and the desire was that we 2705 01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:43,520 wanted to reduce that number from 500 to 2706 01:44:40,159 --> 01:44:45,040 a lower number which was really any. So 2707 01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:47,600 that's my memory. Does anyone have 2708 01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:51,920 another opinion on that? 2709 01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:55,199 So that paragraph cites ED code 35266 2710 01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:57,440 and it's from that ED code 35266 that we 2711 01:44:55,199 --> 01:44:59,119 get the number 500 and the mandatory 2712 01:44:57,440 --> 01:45:01,119 reporting to California Cyber Security 2713 01:44:59,119 --> 01:45:02,560 Integr Integration Center. I I don't 2714 01:45:01,119 --> 01:45:04,560 think there's anything in there if we 2715 01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:06,080 were to keep the language uh that 2716 01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:08,080 impacts more than 500 students or 2717 01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:10,000 personnel. That paragraph is just 2718 01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:11,760 talking about when we need to notify the 2719 01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:15,360 California Cyber Security Integration 2720 01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:17,199 Center. And so, uh, we we can let 2721 01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:19,360 parents and students and so forth know 2722 01:45:17,199 --> 01:45:20,960 about any sort of scope of attack that's 2723 01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:24,560 impacted them, their families, their 2724 01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:27,199 students. Um, but striking the uh 2725 01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:29,760 restriction would mean technically that 2726 01:45:27,199 --> 01:45:32,880 the policy would require us uh to go 2727 01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:35,119 above and beyond ED code 35266 and and 2728 01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:36,480 report anything at all. Um, so I don't 2729 01:45:35,119 --> 01:45:39,440 want to create lots of administrative 2730 01:45:36,480 --> 01:45:41,600 burden for for staff. Um, and and the ED 2731 01:45:39,440 --> 01:45:43,840 code says 500. So, I would be tempted to 2732 01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:45,920 just say 500 there. 2733 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:47,440 >> I don't I thought I believe this was a 2734 01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:48,080 staff recommendation. 2735 01:45:47,440 --> 01:45:50,080 >> I don't 2736 01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:51,920 >> uh and I I think it was I thought we had 2737 01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:54,320 discussed the same question. 2738 01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:57,679 >> Um, but I I'm looking through the notes 2739 01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:58,960 and I do not know where it came from. 2740 01:45:57,679 --> 01:46:00,639 >> But I share the same like 2741 01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:01,920 >> I'm trying to defend staff here.

Rick, do you remember 2881 01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:31,920 >> in 21 it was increased to nine. 2882 01:51:28,639 --> 01:51:34,880 >> So, so we have nine potential seats. Uh, 2883 01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:37,280 and we have open seats. 2884 01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:40,480 One of them is at large, one of them is 2885 01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:41,199 for taxpayer rep. Um, do we have another 2886 01:51:40,480 --> 01:51:42,719 business organization 2887 01:51:41,199 --> 01:51:44,239 >> and a business organization? All right. 2888 01:51:42,719 --> 01:51:45,520 And then the other six seats are are 2889 01:51:44,239 --> 01:51:47,599 filled in present. 2890 01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:49,040 >> That's the lay of the land. Okay. Great. 2891 01:51:47,599 --> 01:51:50,800 I think the easiest way to think about 2892 01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:52,960 it just if you're looking at it is that 2893 01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:54,719 it's has to be at least seven people and 2894 01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:56,239 then there's five categories. Yeah. 2895 01:51:54,719 --> 01:51:57,760 >> And those seven have to fill those five 2896 01:51:56,239 --> 01:51:59,679 categories and there's nothing in the 2897 01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:01,840 statute that says one person can't fill 2898 01:51:59,679 --> 01:52:02,719 multiple categories. Um so 2899 01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:06,400 >> Oh, interesting. 2900 01:52:02,719 --> 01:52:08,080 >> Yeah. Um 2901 01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:11,199 I'm sharing useful information. I see 2902 01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:13,119 that I got some of it. Um 2903 01:52:11,199 --> 01:52:14,320 uh yeah and I mean as you point out I 2904 01:52:13,119 --> 01:52:16,960 think that that's that's the thing is 2905 01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:18,960 that the um the oversight committee is 2906 01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:20,880 not meeting the numerical requirement 2907 01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:22,480 nor is it meeting the categorical 2908 01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:24,880 requirement. This is an attempt to close 2909 01:52:22,480 --> 01:52:27,920 on close in on both. And it sounds like 2910 01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:29,920 if we wanted to we could if Allen's 2911 01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:31,599 interested in or if whoever's not 2912 01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:34,080 selected is interested in it they could 2913 01:52:31,599 --> 01:52:36,159 end up coming in for another position. 2914 01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:38,159 Right. We'll only look for this one seat 2915 01:52:36,159 --> 01:52:39,520 category is how how we're running the 2916 01:52:38,159 --> 01:52:39,920 items. Yeah. Okay. 2917 01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:40,719 >> Yeah. 2918 01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:43,199 >> And consider it. 2919 01:52:40,719 --> 01:52:45,440 >> And then the other the other one uh 2920 01:52:43,199 --> 01:52:48,320 unless there's information we don't have 2921 01:52:45,440 --> 01:52:49,760 uh it would be the other at large 2922 01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:53,440 >> seat. Right. Okay. 2923 01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:55,119 >> Um neither uh signified or or marked 2924 01:52:53,440 --> 01:52:57,440 that they fit the business organization 2925 01:52:55,119 --> 01:53:00,000 role. And just for reference, a business 2926 01:52:57,440 --> 01:53:02,239 organization isn't being employed by a 2927 01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:05,840 business. It's being part of the chamber 2928 01:53:02,239 --> 01:53:07,920 or uh building trades or something like 2929 01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:10,320 that. 2930 01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:10,320 Okay. 2931 01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:14,960 Okay. 2932 01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:16,960 >> Any any questions or comments? 2933 01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:18,639 >> What's the the meta question I have is 2934 01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:20,960 like what's the right way for us to have 2935 01:53:18,639 --> 01:53:23,360 this discussion? Are we we're trying to 2936 01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:26,639 figure out uh so the possible outcomes 2937 01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:28,960 are we we don't want either candidate. 2938 01:53:26,639 --> 01:53:31,280 um we want one of the candidates to be 2939 01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:33,440 taxpayer rep but we don't want the other 2940 01:53:31,280 --> 01:53:35,280 candidate or we want one of the uh 2941 01:53:33,440 --> 01:53:37,679 candidates to be the taxpayer rep and 2942 01:53:35,280 --> 01:53:38,800 want to appoint the other at large in 2943 01:53:37,679 --> 01:53:40,480 the consent calendar at the next 2944 01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:42,800 meeting. Are those the three flavors of 2945 01:53:40,480 --> 01:53:45,679 outcome for the Okay. So I would 2946 01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:47,199 recommend that what we do is trustees 2947 01:53:45,679 --> 01:53:49,599 take a moment if they would like to 2948 01:53:47,199 --> 01:53:52,159 advocate for a person and say why they 2949 01:53:49,599 --> 01:53:53,360 are going to support a candidate or not 2950 01:53:52,159 --> 01:53:55,040 um that they go ahead and make those 2951 01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:57,199 comments but then we move to a motion 2952 01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:59,040 and we you know we do this as our normal 2953 01:53:57,199 --> 01:54:00,639 procedure which is we make motions 2954 01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:02,960 second and then vote on them and if it 2955 01:54:00,639 --> 01:54:04,480 passes it passes if it doesn't then you 2956 01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:06,639 know we can always amend it if someone 2957 01:54:04,480 --> 01:54:08,000 decides that they're not happy with the 2958 01:54:06,639 --> 01:54:10,560 motion they'd rather support somebody 2959 01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:11,760 else or or not vote for it. Um and that 2960 01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:12,239 would be kind of the way that we can get 2961 01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:14,080 through this. 2962 01:54:12,239 --> 01:54:15,840 >> Great. So we've got the form factor of 2963 01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:17,520 the three possible outputs. We've got 2964 01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:18,159 the mechanism of action per 2965 01:54:17,520 --> 01:54:20,480 deliberation. 2966 01:54:18,159 --> 01:54:21,520 >> So are there comments about um any of 2967 01:54:20,480 --> 01:54:23,040 the candidates before? 2968 01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:25,520 >> I just have one more question about just 2969 01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:28,639 so at a minimum this person has to be an 2970 01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:31,520 active member in a taxpayer association 2971 01:54:28,639 --> 01:54:34,000 for the next three years.

Uh, one of the 3263 02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:38,320 things that's definitely a takeaway is a 3264 02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:40,400 deep sense of gratitude for our 3265 02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:41,679 district, our staff, and the 3266 02:05:40,400 --> 02:05:43,280 relationships that we have with each 3267 02:05:41,679 --> 02:05:45,760 other, which are positive, cordial, and 3268 02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:47,440 professional, which does not typify um 3269 02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:48,880 an awful lot of other school districts 3270 02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:50,719 out there. So, there's there's a lot to 3271 02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:52,320 be grateful for in the in the team that 3272 02:05:50,719 --> 02:05:54,320 we have here, and to not take for 3273 02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:57,520 granted, which I don't. So, thank you. 3274 02:05:54,320 --> 02:05:59,360 Um, as the incoming board president, um, 3275 02:05:57,520 --> 02:06:01,040 I went to the board president training 3276 02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:03,920 workshop. That was super duper helpful 3277 02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:05,440 to have, uh, a whole day set aside to 3278 02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:08,000 meet with other people who had 3279 02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:10,080 experience in the president role. Uh, as 3280 02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:12,639 well as, uh, people like myself who are 3281 02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:15,119 new to it. Um, just think about how we 3282 02:06:12,639 --> 02:06:16,639 run a meeting. Well, uh, refreshers on 3283 02:06:15,119 --> 02:06:18,239 fun things like Robert's rules of order. 3284 02:06:16,639 --> 02:06:20,719 We've obviously gotten to observe Mike 3285 02:06:18,239 --> 02:06:22,560 doing it extremely well. Um, so that was 3286 02:06:20,719 --> 02:06:25,760 really helpful to have uh some time 3287 02:06:22,560 --> 02:06:27,679 thinking about uh how we can continue to 3288 02:06:25,760 --> 02:06:31,840 evolve our meetings to be even more 3289 02:06:27,679 --> 02:06:33,920 effective as a as a team. Um, 3290 02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:35,760 that includes like things like a clear 3291 02:06:33,920 --> 02:06:37,760 focus on English literacy by end of 3292 02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:39,599 third grade. Uh, more active inclusion 3293 02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:41,440 of the Hispanic community in our board 3294 02:06:39,599 --> 02:06:44,320 meetings. You're rocking it, Augustine. 3295 02:06:41,440 --> 02:06:46,400 Um, and even some fun things like uh 3296 02:06:44,320 --> 02:06:48,159 visually communicating uh more 3297 02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:50,400 consistently and clearly clear clearly 3298 02:06:48,159 --> 02:06:54,320 bilingually using tools like Nano Banana 3299 02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:56,480 Pro which is absurdly good at making uh 3300 02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:58,960 explanation posters. And so like that 3301 02:06:56,480 --> 02:07:02,159 that's been uh a really interesting new 3302 02:06:58,960 --> 02:07:04,239 tool in the tool bag uh to to help with 3303 02:07:02,159 --> 02:07:05,840 understanding and communicating with the 3304 02:07:04,239 --> 02:07:08,239 with the public fairly complicated 3305 02:07:05,840 --> 02:07:10,400 things like school finance and budgets 3306 02:07:08,239 --> 02:07:12,159 which are really gnarly. Um, so I think 3307 02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:13,840 we're we're getting armed with a bunch 3308 02:07:12,159 --> 02:07:17,199 of new tools for communicating, which is 3309 02:07:13,840 --> 02:07:19,679 pretty powerful. Um, turns out that a 3310 02:07:17,199 --> 02:07:21,840 bunch of other districts start their 3311 02:07:19,679 --> 02:07:24,320 meetings with a student-led pledge of 3312 02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:25,440 allegiance. Um, which they generally 3313 02:07:24,320 --> 02:07:26,960 describe as something that's pretty 3314 02:07:25,440 --> 02:07:29,280 sweet. Doesn't take very much time. You 3315 02:07:26,960 --> 02:07:30,639 rotate which school sends a student uh 3316 02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:32,079 with with their family to go and do the 3317 02:07:30,639 --> 02:07:34,079 pledge. And of course, they uh, you 3318 02:07:32,079 --> 02:07:35,599 know, scatter back home uh after leading 3319 02:07:34,079 --> 02:07:37,040 the pledge. But I thought that was just 3320 02:07:35,599 --> 02:07:38,159 kind of something a little bit sweet and 3321 02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:40,639 maybe something that we could think 3322 02:07:38,159 --> 02:07:42,000 about doing. the fellow uh board 3323 02:07:40,639 --> 02:07:43,440 members, board presidents that I talked 3324 02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:45,119 to from other districts universally 3325 02:07:43,440 --> 02:07:47,440 described that as like a wonderful, 3326 02:07:45,119 --> 02:07:49,199 happy, fun way to start pretty much 3327 02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:50,400 every meeting and it doesn't really take 3328 02:07:49,199 --> 02:07:53,520 a whole lot of time in terms of 3329 02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:56,079 overhead. Um so, uh that seems like 3330 02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:58,400 something we might consider doing. Um a 3331 02:07:56,079 --> 02:08:00,480 lot of other districts have made uh 3332 02:07:58,400 --> 02:08:02,800 caps, usually about 10 minutes in terms 3333 02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:05,760 of presentation length, uh to really 3334 02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:07,040 focus the board's time on deliberation u 3335 02:08:05,760 --> 02:08:08,480 back and forth between the board 3336 02:08:07,040 --> 02:08:11,520 members. What do we like? what do we not 3337 02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:14,880 like? What's going on? Um and that 3338 02:08:11,520 --> 02:08:16,800 districts that focus on having earnest 3339 02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:18,800 deliberation about student achievement 3340 02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:20,880 outperform districts that don't. Um and 3341 02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:23,679 the data on that is pretty clear, too. 3342 02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:26,079 Um and I I've seen us start taking some 3343 02:08:23,679 --> 02:08:29,040 great steps in this in this direction 3344 02:08:26,079 --> 02:08:30,960 even tonight. You know, we we got uh big 3345 02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:32,719 beautiful decks full of rich information 3346 02:08:30,960 --> 02:08:35,040 and then condensed it down to much 3347 02:08:32,719 --> 02:08:37,760 shorter presentations. Um the hope is 3348 02:08:35,040 --> 02:08:39,360 that it will net be less burdensome on 3349 02:08:37,760 --> 02:08:41,599 staff that they don't have to give 3350 02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:43,679 hour-long presentations. They just have 3351 02:08:41,599 --> 02:08:46,400 a lot of rich data and then kind of give 3352 02:08:43,679 --> 02:08:48,159 an executive summary uh orally. Um but 3353 02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:50,239 just universally this was described as a 3354 02:08:48,159 --> 02:08:51,840 great move. I didn't talk to anyone who 3355 02:08:50,239 --> 02:08:53,199 was like, "Oh yeah, we we had a 3356 02:08:51,840 --> 02:08:55,040 presentation cap and it went terribly 3357 02:08:53,199 --> 02:08:56,320 and we had to go back to like longer 3358 02:08:55,040 --> 02:09:02,480 presentations because it just didn't 3359 02:08:56,320 --> 02:09:03,840 work." um to uh a number of boards 3360 02:09:02,480 --> 02:09:06,560 and and this is actually technically 3361 02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:08,400 part of Robert's rules of order um would 3362 02:09:06,560 --> 02:09:11,280 receive information you know on the 3363 02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:13,760 agenda item and then this was very 3364 02:09:11,280 --> 02:09:15,360 interesting that they move in second to 3365 02:09:13,760 --> 02:09:18,320 bring the item to the floor for 3366 02:09:15,360 --> 02:09:20,000 deliberation and and so there's these 3367 02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:21,760 two separate segments that happen where 3368 02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:22,800 first there there's a presenter there's 3369 02:09:21,760 --> 02:09:25,840 questions that are asked of the 3370 02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:28,079 presenter and then the item is moved and 3371 02:09:25,840 --> 02:09:30,000 seconded and that point deliberation 3372 02:09:28,079 --> 02:09:31,040 begins among the board. Now, sometimes 3373 02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:32,639 there's nothing to deliberate because 3374 02:09:31,040 --> 02:09:34,000 it's just so obviously let's do this 3375 02:09:32,639 --> 02:09:36,079 thing. So, this is like we we shouldn't 3376 02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:37,440 be obviously looking to make things take 3377 02:09:36,079 --> 02:09:39,199 longer than than they ought. That's 3378 02:09:37,440 --> 02:09:42,000 silly. Um, but I thought it was 3379 02:09:39,199 --> 02:09:44,639 interesting to really focus on uh where 3380 02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:47,679 in what is going on here does there need 3381 02:09:44,639 --> 02:09:49,280 to be a conversation among the board and 3382 02:09:47,679 --> 02:09:51,280 then when that happens that actually 3383 02:09:49,280 --> 02:09:52,400 happens after the second and that's a 3384 02:09:51,280 --> 02:09:53,679 little bit different than just how we've 3385 02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:55,520 been running things which is generally 3386 02:09:53,679 --> 02:09:58,239 when we're ready to vote we move second 3387 02:09:55,520 --> 02:09:59,920 vote right um but again Robert Schules 3388 02:09:58,239 --> 02:10:03,440 said you you move and second it to bring 3389 02:09:59,920 --> 02:10:04,880 it to the floor to discuss and then you 3390 02:10:03,440 --> 02:10:06,719 go and you vote on it when when you're 3391 02:10:04,880 --> 02:10:08,320 ready to vote so anyhow just not saying 3392 02:10:06,719 --> 02:10:09,679 we necessarily have to do that. You 3393 02:10:08,320 --> 02:10:11,280 know, we've been doing modified Robert's 3394 02:10:09,679 --> 02:10:13,119 rules of order, but it's like it was an 3395 02:10:11,280 --> 02:10:14,719 interesting thing to think about in 3396 02:10:13,119 --> 02:10:16,400 terms of like when do we need to talk 3397 02:10:14,719 --> 02:10:19,679 about things to really deliberate as a 3398 02:10:16,400 --> 02:10:21,199 board. Um the comment on the website 3399 02:10:19,679 --> 02:10:24,480 rings true. I think there's a lot more 3400 02:10:21,199 --> 02:10:26,159 that we can do on comms there. Um and to 3401 02:10:24,480 --> 02:10:27,520 publish a clear governance calendar. 3402 02:10:26,159 --> 02:10:29,840 When are we going to talk about what 3403 02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:31,360 just in plain English, right? Because 3404 02:10:29,840 --> 02:10:33,199 it's obviously we we we can't have like 3405 02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:35,119 10-hour long board meetings and stuff. 3406 02:10:33,199 --> 02:10:36,800 uh and and if somebody suggests hey I 3407 02:10:35,119 --> 02:10:38,000 think we should talk about XYZ topic 3408 02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:39,920 that doesn't mean it gets put in the 3409 02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:41,679 next board meeting but just having a 3410 02:10:39,920 --> 02:10:43,280 mechanism for collecting what are all 3411 02:10:41,679 --> 02:10:45,679 the different things that within some 3412 02:10:43,280 --> 02:10:47,280 finite time period we should discuss put 3413 02:10:45,679 --> 02:10:50,000 them in the hopper put them in a parking 3414 02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:51,440 lot that we kind of actively maintain 3415 02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:53,840 stack rank and then we make a best 3416 02:10:51,440 --> 02:10:56,239 effort to go and fit those in as we can 3417 02:10:53,840 --> 02:10:57,679 yeah and then to publish so people like 3418 02:10:56,239 --> 02:10:59,920 will know like well when are you going 3419 02:10:57,679 --> 02:11:01,760 to go and talk about X subject it's like 3420 02:10:59,920 --> 02:11:03,360 well that's that that's in our April 7th 3421 02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:05,040 meeting or whatever like oh good. You 3422 02:11:03,360 --> 02:11:06,560 know, often times that's all people 3423 02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:07,760 need. They need to know that they're 3424 02:11:06,560 --> 02:11:08,960 being taken seriously and the things 3425 02:11:07,760 --> 02:11:11,440 that we should be talking about, we're 3426 02:11:08,960 --> 02:11:13,520 talking about in some finite time. Um, 3427 02:11:11,440 --> 02:11:16,000 Mississippi came up quite a few times uh 3428 02:11:13,520 --> 02:11:18,320 in terms of literacy discussions. Um, 3429 02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:20,719 and I may have had my mind changed on 3430 02:11:18,320 --> 02:11:22,400 things like uh retention. As it turns 3431 02:11:20,719 --> 02:11:25,280 out, the threat of retention in third 3432 02:11:22,400 --> 02:11:27,760 grade um is one of the components of the 3433 02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:31,440 Mississippi plan that's proved radically 3434 02:11:27,760 --> 02:11:33,840 effective. Um and so I I think I may be 3435 02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:37,599 tempted at some point for us to look for 3436 02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:40,639 a study session for literacy in the K K 3437 02:11:37,599 --> 02:11:42,159 to3 window. Uh to look at what works, 3438 02:11:40,639 --> 02:11:43,520 what doesn't work, what things are we 3439 02:11:42,159 --> 02:11:45,840 already doing and that's awesome. Let's 3440 02:11:43,520 --> 02:11:47,760 double down on and you know what are 3441 02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:50,560 some approaches that have been very 3442 02:11:47,760 --> 02:11:52,639 successful in in other areas as well. Um 3443 02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:54,719 so just want to put that out there. Uh 3444 02:11:52,639 --> 02:11:57,119 went to a couple different sessions on 3445 02:11:54,719 --> 02:11:58,719 uh facilities and property um covering 3446 02:11:57,119 --> 02:12:00,079 school closures.

So, that was a pretty big growth. 3482 02:13:19,520 --> 02:13:22,560 Um, I did go to the city council meeting 3483 02:13:21,360 --> 02:13:24,320 on Monday. They're going to rethink how 3484 02:13:22,560 --> 02:13:26,719 they're doing the Mills Act. Um, and 3485 02:13:24,320 --> 02:13:30,000 sort of looking at that. Um, so that was 3486 02:13:26,719 --> 02:13:31,520 there. And then, of course, AEC. Um, one 3487 02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:33,599 of the highlights was the Golden Bell. 3488 02:13:31,520 --> 02:13:35,440 Uh, congratulations to our mental health 3489 02:13:33,599 --> 02:13:38,400 program.

Um in 3492 02:13:41,520 --> 02:13:45,520 prior with that I went to uh something 3493 02:13:43,840 --> 02:13:47,119 about they called it braiding I think it 3494 02:13:45,520 --> 02:13:50,800 was braiding funding between like your 3495 02:13:47,119 --> 02:13:53,360 mental health program and your ELOP. Um 3496 02:13:50,800 --> 02:13:54,639 and uh super interesting couple 3497 02:13:53,360 --> 02:13:56,239 interesting facts you know that the 3498 02:13:54,639 --> 02:13:58,400 state of California of course is has a 3499 02:13:56,239 --> 02:14:00,639 huge funding for ELOP plus a little bit 3500 02:13:58,400 --> 02:14:02,239 more for expanded learning. Um and the 3501 02:14:00,639 --> 02:14:03,920 presenter called it the largest in the 3502 02:14:02,239 --> 02:14:05,280 universe. he doesn't have any proof to 3503 02:14:03,920 --> 02:14:07,040 show that it's not the largest in the 3504 02:14:05,280 --> 02:14:09,520 universe, but it's uh it's a good amount 3505 02:14:07,040 --> 02:14:11,520 of money for expanded learning. Um so 3506 02:14:09,520 --> 02:14:14,239 it's nice to see that we're we're doing 3507 02:14:11,520 --> 02:14:16,079 that. Um uh the the other one though 3508 02:14:14,239 --> 02:14:17,520 that was upsetting of course was that 3509 02:14:16,079 --> 02:14:20,079 mental health is the number one reason 3510 02:14:17,520 --> 02:14:23,280 that children from Z age 0 to 17 are 3511 02:14:20,079 --> 02:14:24,800 hospitalized. Uh and 3512 02:14:23,280 --> 02:14:26,639 I did not know that um that we're 3513 02:14:24,800 --> 02:14:28,480 repeating a fact. I don't know if that's 3514 02:14:26,639 --> 02:14:32,480 true. That's just what the presenter had 3515 02:14:28,480 --> 02:14:34,320 said. So it is true. Yeah. and um just 3516 02:14:32,480 --> 02:14:36,320 how important you know mental health is 3517 02:14:34,320 --> 02:14:38,480 there. And so this one was really they 3518 02:14:36,320 --> 02:14:40,159 were both talking about the power of the 3519 02:14:38,480 --> 02:14:42,800 expanded learning and also the power of 3520 02:14:40,159 --> 02:14:45,280 mental health programs.

Um, it was to be a 3643 02:19:20,319 --> 02:19:26,000 document that was to be where you were 3644 02:19:23,200 --> 02:19:28,399 going to go in the areas of mathematics, 3645 02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:31,120 language arts, and how you were going to 3646 02:19:28,399 --> 02:19:35,599 get there. Not what is re but not what 3647 02:19:31,120 --> 02:19:39,280 is mandated right now. So CSBA 3648 02:19:35,599 --> 02:19:41,840 along with AXA has gotten together to 3649 02:19:39,280 --> 02:19:44,960 see if they can't get this changed. That 3650 02:19:41,840 --> 02:19:48,319 means talking to legislators, talking to 3651 02:19:44,960 --> 02:19:50,640 the state board of education who keeps 3652 02:19:48,319 --> 02:19:53,760 putting on these mandates for additional 3653 02:19:50,640 --> 02:19:55,920 pieces to be put on the LCAP. And a lot 3654 02:19:53,760 --> 02:19:58,240 of us were superintendent there just 3655 02:19:55,920 --> 02:20:01,120 nodding our heads and saying they don't 3656 02:19:58,240 --> 02:20:05,760 listen. And and it's true they do not 3657 02:20:01,120 --> 02:20:07,280 listen. Um we have thank God ours is not 3658 02:20:05,760 --> 02:20:09,120 but I heard superintendent next door to 3659 02:20:07,280 --> 02:20:13,359 me say his how many pages his was and I 3660 02:20:09,120 --> 02:20:14,800 go what? and I go, "Who who you can just 3661 02:20:13,359 --> 02:20:18,080 put it in a bookshelf. You're never 3662 02:20:14,800 --> 02:20:22,640 going to look at it." So, um, hopefully 3663 02:20:18,080 --> 02:20:24,800 there is momentum with CSBA, AXA, and 3664 02:20:22,640 --> 02:20:28,960 getting others involved to get this 3665 02:20:24,800 --> 02:20:32,160 changed and to get it relooked at. Um, 3666 02:20:28,960 --> 02:20:34,560 the amount of bureaucracy that is put 3667 02:20:32,160 --> 02:20:36,319 into this, it was never meant to be that 3668 02:20:34,560 --> 02:20:38,479 way. And he said that and he go he 3669 02:20:36,319 --> 02:20:40,160 apologized and people just said well you 3670 02:20:38,479 --> 02:20:43,520 should get back in and start changing 3671 02:20:40,160 --> 02:20:47,680 this but he is helping both CSBA and AXA 3672 02:20:43,520 --> 02:20:51,600 to move this forward to move it forward. 3673 02:20:47,680 --> 02:20:53,680 It was sad to hear but it's true. So at 3674 02:20:51,600 --> 02:20:55,120 least we're not the only ones that are 3675 02:20:53,680 --> 02:20:57,200 feeling it or and then it trickles down 3676 02:20:55,120 --> 02:21:00,160 to the county office of ed. No, you need 3677 02:20:57,200 --> 02:21:02,000 to put this in here. But why? And the 3678 02:21:00,160 --> 02:21:05,359 the superintendent who was presenting, 3679 02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:08,080 she's and she is she was from um 3680 02:21:05,359 --> 02:21:09,680 Pittsburgh Unified and she told the 3681 02:21:08,080 --> 02:21:10,880 county, "I'm sorry, I'm not doing it. 3682 02:21:09,680 --> 02:21:14,000 What are you going to do to me? Go to my 3683 02:21:10,880 --> 02:21:16,560 board." And she and and she didn't do 3684 02:21:14,000 --> 02:21:17,680 it. And and and and then I I went up and 3685 02:21:16,560 --> 02:21:20,680 asked her, "What happened to you?" 3686 02:21:17,680 --> 02:21:20,680 "Nothing." 3687 02:21:21,760 --> 02:21:25,439 So that was that was a great one. The 3688 02:21:23,760 --> 02:21:27,680 other one was the one that I was talking 3689 02:21:25,439 --> 02:21:29,760 about previously with the coaches and 3690 02:21:27,680 --> 02:21:32,800 how they got to where they are right 3691 02:21:29,760 --> 02:21:34,640 now. Year six, 3692 02:21:32,800 --> 02:21:37,359 that needle has moved and those kids are 3693 02:21:34,640 --> 02:21:40,399 moving. As long as they started out with 3694 02:21:37,359 --> 02:21:42,560 them since be, you know, she said we 3695 02:21:40,399 --> 02:21:44,560 were at kindergarten, but not since they 3696 02:21:42,560 --> 02:21:46,800 started TK. As long as they've been with 3697 02:21:44,560 --> 02:21:49,120 us since TK and moving forward, they are 3698 02:21:46,800 --> 02:21:51,680 moving. And of course, you do have your 3699 02:21:49,120 --> 02:21:53,439 students who have disabilities, but 3700 02:21:51,680 --> 02:21:57,160 that's another criteria that you have to 3701 02:21:53,439 --> 02:21:57,160 look at that'll be different. 3702 02:21:59,040 --> 02:22:03,120 >> Excellent. Thanks for those updates. Um, 3703 02:22:01,280 --> 02:22:05,040 let's move on. Uh, we have no 3704 02:22:03,120 --> 02:22:07,920 information items. Um, so then we're on 3705 02:22:05,040 --> 02:22:09,120 to section 12, uh, correspondence. I 3706 02:22:07,920 --> 02:22:10,479 don't know if anybody has anything that 3707 02:22:09,120 --> 02:22:15,880 they want to share to put into the 3708 02:22:10,479 --> 02:22:15,880 record or, um, acknowledge. 3709 02:22:19,280 --> 02:22:25,439 Okay. Um, let's review our governance 3710 02:22:22,560 --> 02:22:28,960 calendar. Um, we have a schedule of 3711 02:22:25,439 --> 02:22:31,439 future agenda items and a parking lot of 3712 02:22:28,960 --> 02:22:33,760 uh suggested topics that could go onto 3713 02:22:31,439 --> 02:22:36,399 that governance calendar. Um, does 3714 02:22:33,760 --> 02:22:39,920 anyone have comments on 3715 02:22:36,399 --> 02:22:42,960 uh questions or anything to change for 3716 02:22:39,920 --> 02:22:46,720 I know uh it was mentioned before about 3717 02:22:42,960 --> 02:22:46,720 how valuable these can be. 3718 02:22:46,800 --> 02:22:54,080 Okay. Um, time for reflection, 3719 02:22:51,359 --> 02:22:55,200 continuous improvement. Does anyone want 3720 02:22:54,080 --> 02:22:57,359 Did you have something for the previous 3721 02:22:55,200 --> 02:22:58,240 one or are you jumping in here or 3722 02:22:57,359 --> 02:22:59,600 >> pre previous one? 3723 02:22:58,240 --> 02:23:01,200 >> Okay. Yeah, jump back. Go back. 3724 02:22:59,600 --> 02:23:03,520 >> It'll just saying the same thing as 3725 02:23:01,200 --> 02:23:05,520 always, which is it'll be good to get a 3726 02:23:03,520 --> 02:23:08,080 study session on reporting. 3727 02:23:05,520 --> 02:23:13,399 >> Okay.

I've got my own parking lot and 3736 02:23:25,439 --> 02:23:27,920 I'm trying to figure out how to stitch 3737 02:23:27,280 --> 02:23:28,640 that in here. 3738 02:23:27,920 --> 02:23:31,520 >> Yeah.

Is that the really just 3744 02:23:40,160 --> 02:23:44,880 student outcomes reports generally? 3745 02:23:43,120 --> 02:23:47,680 >> Okay. basically like all the things that 3746 02:23:44,880 --> 02:23:50,800 we have set for our goals on the LCAP, 3747 02:23:47,680 --> 02:23:53,600 how how do we what is the most 3748 02:23:50,800 --> 02:23:56,560 productive way for us to report on that? 3749 02:23:53,600 --> 02:23:58,479 >> Okay. I think um that study session 3750 02:23:56,560 --> 02:24:00,800 that's listed in the parking lot was 3751 02:23:58,479 --> 02:24:03,120 referring to your study session. 3752 02:24:00,800 --> 02:24:05,120 >> Perfect. I'll also note that there is an 3753 02:24:03,120 --> 02:24:08,160 update on communications in the parking 3754 02:24:05,120 --> 02:24:13,840 lot as well, so relevant to the policy. 3755 02:24:08,160 --> 02:24:17,160 Um okay. Uh on to uh board uh trustee 3756 02:24:13,840 --> 02:24:17,160 meeting reflection. 3757 02:24:18,960 --> 02:24:23,760 Thoughts on how to improve the meeting? 3758 02:24:20,960 --> 02:24:26,399 Um I think partially things went off the 3759 02:24:23,760 --> 02:24:29,120 rails um in a way that I don't think was 3760 02:24:26,399 --> 02:24:30,960 intended but um perhaps we should uh 3761 02:24:29,120 --> 02:24:32,640 consider how the impact of of things 3762 02:24:30,960 --> 02:24:34,160 could have could have come through. 3763 02:24:32,640 --> 02:24:36,640 Yeah. 3764 02:24:34,160 --> 02:24:40,160 >> Yeah. I agree. I I'll start with the 3765 02:24:36,640 --> 02:24:42,240 positives. I the same thing as uh I 3766 02:24:40,160 --> 02:24:44,479 think we've mentioned before and has 3767 02:24:42,240 --> 02:24:47,120 been reiterated today as well. Uh I 3768 02:24:44,479 --> 02:24:50,080 think the format of less time presenting 3769 02:24:47,120 --> 02:24:51,120 more time discussing is I really 3770 02:24:50,080 --> 02:24:53,840 appreciate it. I think it's leading to 3771 02:24:51,120 --> 02:24:56,800 better discussion uh on the deltas. Uh 3772 02:24:53,840 --> 02:24:59,359 yes perhap I think I I've pontificated 3773 02:24:56,800 --> 02:25:02,800 much. I'd like to do that less. uh and I 3774 02:24:59,359 --> 02:25:04,640 can probably be uh for for myself uh to 3775 02:25:02,800 --> 02:25:06,319 be more reflective in the the what I'm 3776 02:25:04,640 --> 02:25:09,280 communicating and how to make sure that 3777 02:25:06,319 --> 02:25:11,040 it is clear that uh everything is 3778 02:25:09,280 --> 02:25:14,040 supposed to be generative and not 3779 02:25:11,040 --> 02:25:14,040 conflicting. 3780 02:25:14,640 --> 02:25:18,000 >> Yeah, thanks for that.

I thought that the the two 3786 02:25:25,840 --> 02:25:29,439 presentations were really well put 3787 02:25:27,520 --> 02:25:31,439 together.

Um hopefully it wasn't a ton of 3794 02:25:39,920 --> 02:25:42,640 work. It was actually because it ended 3795 02:25:41,359 --> 02:25:44,080 up reducing the time. I know probably 3796 02:25:42,640 --> 02:25:44,880 the first time it was a lot of work to 3797 02:25:44,080 --> 02:25:46,399 be able to get to it 3798 02:25:44,880 --> 02:25:46,960 >> because it was already create. 3799 02:25:46,399 --> 02:25:48,720 >> Yeah, 3800 02:25:46,960 --> 02:25:52,880 >> it was already done and when I came in 3801 02:25:48,720 --> 02:25:55,439 and said on Monday, let's shorten it.
