incredible nine years of service um to

the Reb City School District and those

146
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,520
were tough years um so thank you I still

147
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:53,840
vividly remember our first meeting when

148
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,680
you were considering running for the

149
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:58,120
school board at that time you were

150
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,800
actively involved with the rbit city

151
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,599
library foundation and you had three

152
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,160
young boys and one in second grade one

153
00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:06,280
in first grade and a

154
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,000
four-year-old I often wonder how you

155
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:09,840
manage to balance your own business

156
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,160
raising young children and serving on

157
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,720
the school board I couldn't do that the

158
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,160
truth is you you've always been an

159
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,520
amazing mom wife School Board member and

160
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,240
friend to so many uh from the beginning

161
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,800
you truly internalized the role of a

162
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,479
school board member all us making

163
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,199
decisions based on a single unwavering

164
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:29,199
Criterion what was best for the students

165
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:30,800
you never compromised on this and we all

166
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:33,879
knew where you stood when it came to

167
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,520
advocating for students I often thought

168
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:37,000
that your perspective as a parent with

169
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,319
children in the district gave you a

170
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,240
unique Insight in some ways I imagined

171
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:42,479
it was harder for you than board members

172
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,440
without children in the district

173
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:46,520
especially as Henry Ford parents often

174
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,000
felt they had a personal board member to

175
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,400
get things done with I remember you and

176
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
I talking about that special treatment

177
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,879
despite this I never felt that you gave

178
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,960
Henry Ford or Kennedy special treatment

179
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:58,560
because your children attended there

180
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:01,080
your integrity and uh fairness were all

181
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,919
evident over the course of nine years on

182
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,759
the board you faced some incredibly

183
00:08:02,919 --> 00:08:06,720
difficult challenges to name just a few

184
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:09,199
you helped close and merge four of 16

185
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,400
schools navigated the complexity of

186
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:13,080
covid-19 pandemic and managed the

187
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,639
emotional turmoil that accompanied both

188
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,879
of these Monumental

189
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:18,319
events you all remained calm and

190
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:19,919
compassionate but you also understood

191
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:21,720
your duty as an elected official to make

192
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:23,639
the tough decisions decisions that were

193
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,759
not popular but were necessary for the

194
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:26,639
greater good of the students in the

195
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,840
district and I think Oakland and San

196
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:33,839
Francisco Unified could take Direction

197
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:35,599
from Lisa and J um one of the things I

198
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:37,479
always admired about you was your

199
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:39,560
ability to remain calm in a crisis which

200
00:08:37,479 --> 00:08:41,360
reassured everyone and could get through

201
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:43,919
any CH allow us to get through any

202
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,240
challenge together your hard work on the

203
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,560
successful 2016 construction Bond

204
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,880
committee also stands out when Hillary

205
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,120
left the board and subcommittee for

206
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,360
construction you were assigned to

207
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,040
replace Hillary where we met twice a

208
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,360
month your participation gave valuable

209
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,480
insight to both the construction

210
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,800
management team and the board and your

211
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,720
dedication played a significant role in

212
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,440
the successful completion of the project

213
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,399
significantly under budget and completed

214
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,079
early and not many districts have

215
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:13,240
delivered such results so uh you should

216
00:09:11,079 --> 00:09:15,519
be very proud of that on a personal note

217
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,000
you were also a source of support for me

218
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:18,880
I could call you any time and you were

219
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,399
all calm thoughtful and Incredibly

220
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,519
helpful I'll never forget the time we

221
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:25,279
talked about what was going on in front

222
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,920
of your house Jude was hammering wood

223
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:30,920
and when I asked if I could help he said

224
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:32,839
no my mom is my best friend she can'

225
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,040
then he proceeded to tie me to your tree

226
00:09:32,839 --> 00:09:36,320
and walked

227
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,399
away all while we were discussing

228
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,880
District matters these small moments and

229
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:42,480
your unwavering help are some of my

230
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,440
Fondest Memories in my in my mind what

231
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,519
made you such a stellar board member was

232
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,920
your fearlessness your respectful

233
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,320

234
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,320
years on the board and you're being

236
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,200
politely correct me when you thought my

237
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:57,880
logic was off many times you were

238
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,160
correct and I left our conversation with

239
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,240
a change perspective I thought that was

240
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,880

about the bond construction committee um

276
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,760

00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,880
room is is Chandra here no she's at a

278
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,360

00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,560
Chandra for me um although I am a

280
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,800
Kennedy parent too so as part of the the

281
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,000
construction committee we were walking

282
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,200
around with Don Diaz um looking at kind

283
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,320
of the new construction of the office

and the parking lot with the EV Chargers

285
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,680
and I looked around and I said Don this

286
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,920
is just an accident waiting to happen

287
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:44,680
like there's nothing to block cars from

288
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,200
going from the parking lot straight into

289
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:48,040
the office and there's going to be

290
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,240
students and staff walking along there

291
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,720
can we put in some sort of barriers so

292
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,880

about your history and experience I just

306
00:12:29,199 --> 00:12:33,720
wanted to touch on the aspect of public

physically in the room when you took the

310
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:43,360
oath of office in 2015 and it's been

00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:45,199
almost decade but I think the the the uh

312
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,720
the perseverance and the challenging

313
00:12:45,199 --> 00:12:48,600
times that Dennis spoke about certainly

314
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,480
being an elected official during covid

315
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,680

00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:34,600
and Schoolboard members in Region 5 said

562
00:23:32,159 --> 00:23:36,720
they would not cross the picket lines

563
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,600
every event except the board of director

564
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:42,360
meeting that Alisa was to attend was

565
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:45,400
moved out of the hotel Alisa asked if

566
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:47,880
she could call in but was told

567
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,679
no the San Francisco Unified School

568
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,919
District had offered space but the csba

569
00:23:50,679 --> 00:23:55,760
president wouldn't agree to it and

570
00:23:52,919 --> 00:23:58,520
shockingly said Alisa was derelict in

571
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:01,120
her duties and could not be loyal to csb

572
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:04,120
a and her region if she didn't cross the

573
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:07,120
pickup lines so she chose not to cross

574
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:09,520
the pickup lines so she was unable to

575
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:12,159
give her speech and lost her nomination

576
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:15,039
for vice president they selected someone

577
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:17,080
else who was less qualified and this was

578
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:20,360
an outrage to all her colleagues and

579
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:23,600
they felt she showed amazing courage

580
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:26,559
Carrie duah csba delegate and squir

581
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,880
Union High School District trustee said

582
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:31,120
we were heartbroken for her she showed

583
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,120
amazing courage I've never seen anything

584
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:36,039
like it and I'm around leaders all the

585
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:38,399
time in spite of how she was treated

586
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:41,679
Alisa continued to be an active csba

587
00:24:38,399 --> 00:24:43,960
leader for the last six years Dennis

588
00:24:41,679 --> 00:24:46,279
describes Alisa as The Little Engine

589
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,320
That Could her heart is larger than her

590
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:53,000
body he says she works tirelessly for

591
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:55,840
all children and always with a smile I

592
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:59,279
think of her as Dynamic she's full of

593
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:02,720
energy optimistic enthus I Astic

594
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:05,120
positive outgoing sociable passionate

595

vibrant a natural leader ready for

596
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:09,840
challenges who will take charge and get

597
00:25:07,399 --> 00:25:11,960
things done she stands up for what she

598
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,000
believes in she's demonstrated her

599
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,520
dedication to all the students families

600
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,640
teachers staff and administrators for

601
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:22,360
the Redwood City School District and

602
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,360
will be greatly missed

603
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,679
and now we'll hear from Dennis

604
00:25:30,919 --> 00:25:37,840
McBride

605
00:25:32,679 --> 00:25:37,840
yeah oh sure do Mario next I don't

606
00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:43,640

start again Mario rone for congress

608
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:48,480
member Kevin Mullen and Alysa um so

609
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,640
actually this is because of Dennis we

610
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,240
did something a little bit different for

611
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:57,320
you and I just want to go back to I'm

612
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:59,559
sure I met you early in 2013 when

613
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,720
congressman then now Congressman then

614
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:04,279
assembly member Kevin Mullen had just

615
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,799
taken office and out of the gate you

616
00:26:04,279 --> 00:26:08,080
were front and center on education

617
00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:10,640
issues not just for the Redwood City

618
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,159
School District but more broadly for our

619
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:16,120
County and of course the the Statewide

620
00:26:13,159 --> 00:26:17,520
issues and you were always informative

621
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:20,360
you always brought us information that

622
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,720
we needed to have uh you helped us

623
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:23,480
navigate the local control funding

624
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,399
formula and helping us understand how

625
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,200
that would work or not work depending on

626
00:26:25,399 --> 00:26:29,320
on the

627
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:32,320
situation and while I never was the lead

628
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,960
staffer on education to Joan Dutler's

629
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,960
point you were always available to our

630
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:39,520
staff in terms of providing the guidance

631
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,000
that we needed and just keeping us

632
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,640
informed of what was going on your

633
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,559
involvement with the Sano County School

634
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,840
boards Association and making sure that

635
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:49,480
Kevin was invited and participated in

636
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,799
all that was was just crucial to staying

637
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,600
on top of our education Community Uh

638
00:26:51,799 --> 00:26:57,520
Kevin Fong sends his regards uh he's now

639
00:26:54,600 --> 00:27:00,240
with um Mr Burman uh but what we did for

640
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,320
you was uh we we prepared a

641
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,840
Congressional Record which is basically

642
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,720
um for those of you not familiar with

643
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,279
that process it's basically the

644
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,960
Congressional Record is the proceedings

645
00:27:08,279 --> 00:27:12,840
of Congress and so members have the

646
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:15,039
opportunity to speak on the floor on

647
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,399
behalf of a matter or on behalf of an

648
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:19,520
individual and so that gets printed and

649
00:27:17,399 --> 00:27:21,600
published and so if you look up the

650
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,320
Congressional Record for November 22nd

651
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,799
2024 you'll find an entry for Alyssa

652
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,279
McAvoy and so that's what we have for

653
00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:30,960

654
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:33,440

following

663
00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:15,559
Lori so I came here very excited to do

664
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,039
this and I'm leaving sad because you

665
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:20,080

666
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:22,840
contribution um first thank you for 17

667
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,919
years I know what that feels like um and

668
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,600
you were amazing I still remember Chris

669
00:28:24,919 --> 00:28:28,880
B and me meeting you at Clifford School

670
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,640
playground to see if you had any

671
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,559
interest in being on the school board

672
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,679
your response was I need to talk with

673
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:37,960
Neil Marissa and Clara I'll think about

674
00:28:35,679 --> 00:28:40,200
it you then came back and said you would

675
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,919
do you would like to do it you'd

676
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,159
probably do four years but the most

677
00:28:41,919 --> 00:28:47,960
would be eight years do you remember

678
00:28:45,159 --> 00:28:50,960
that and if I remember your daughters

679
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,960

um and I I feel I feel like it's a

682
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,720
mistake to only talk about your school

I have mentored many Schoolboard members

745
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:24,440
over the years and when I give examples

746
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,639
of how we work together the re the

747
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,480
reaction is wow I wish I had a board

748
00:31:26,639 --> 00:31:29,960
like that you were a huge huge part of

749
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,039
that and Janet you were a huge part of

750
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,559
that you treated everyone with respect

751
00:31:32,039 --> 00:31:37,039
even people that came and were very

752
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:38,760
nasty to us the one I undeniable truth

753
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:41,559
we all knew was that you had one

754
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,000
Northstar and that's not the school you

755
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:44,639

756
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,600
students in the r City School District

757
00:31:44,639 --> 00:31:48,840
at heart you work day and night to

758
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,559
benefit all students in the state in

759
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,559
addition to your roles at trustee in the

760
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:54,639
reev city school district you were on

761
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:57,399
the California school boards

762
00:31:54,639 --> 00:32:00,720
Association um you were a first ad

00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,600
District funding so let's define

769
00:32:12,279 --> 00:32:16,240
tirelessly when working on parcel taxes

770
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,440
and bond campaigns you would phone bank

771
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,799
four nights a week now most the people

772
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,440
in this audience would say well why not

773
00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:25,120
more and the answer was that's all there

774
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,919
was uh and that freed you up for

775
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,279
weekends where you'd be out walking

776
00:32:26,919 --> 00:32:33,200
precincts pass out literature calling

777
00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:37,399

were all in control of

783
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,639
everything for the past six years you've

784
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,960
been on the employee housing board

785
00:32:50,639 --> 00:32:54,880
subcommittee and having been on that you

786
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:58,080
were a Fearless Advocate to get this

787
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,360
done you will make you all made big ad

788
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,519
of the supporters that were kind of

789
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,960
reluctant to step forward and they still

790
00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:05,320
and I'm not using their name but I'm

791
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,080

favorites I I should point out I know

797
00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:19,240
I'm over time and Dr Baker said I could

798
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:22,279
because it's hard to put 17 years of

799
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,960
awesomess into three minutes um upon

800
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:26,200
discovering that Stan Carlos Public

801
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,279

802
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,799
Library cold books monthly you arranged

to pick them up for our schools and yeah

804
00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:35,120

805
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,840
under resourc libraries and giving many

806
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,919
students their first personal book think

807
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,440
about it we have students in RIT City

808
00:33:38,919 --> 00:33:43,960
it's their first personal book my my

809
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:47,279
kids had their first personal book like

810
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:49,120
day minus 20 um you even took books to

811
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:52,519
Hill crest juvenile hall library and

812
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:54,399
this is no exag exaggeration every month

813
00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:56,919
you transported thousands of books for

814
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:58,240
distribution I can attest to this having

815
00:33:56,919 --> 00:34:01,000
been your backup

816
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,279
my SUV my SUV often felt like it was

817
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,799
bottoming out and it was

818
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:09,200
75,000 books that she moved for our

819
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:11,879
students and we had libraries that were

820
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,119
really quite light in books and now they

821
00:34:11,879 --> 00:34:17,000
had books now granted they were a little

822
00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:19,520
old but a book's better than no book um

823
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,079
okay I gotta skip that what you told me

824
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,800

840
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,760
definition I like this definition by the

842
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,280
school board member a school board is a

843
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,960
group of elected or appointed

844
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:03,640
individuals not appointed since a lot of

845
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,960
appointed up there um Who oversee the

846
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,680
policies and management of public

847
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,720
schools and the specific District or

00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,880
area their responsibilities include

849
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:12,960

for students to learn this is my

856
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,040

857
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,920
community leaders making sure the

858
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,640

00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:43,000
swear my mom in and we had no idea the

886
00:36:41,359 --> 00:36:45,359
turn that that was going to take in our

887
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,440
lives um my mom has had a lot of roles

888
00:36:45,359 --> 00:36:50,119

889
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,400

890
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:53,000
that this you know is just going to be

891
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:56,520
the close of one chapter and the start

892
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:59,079

894
00:36:59,079 --> 00:37:01,920
many people would say that's when she's

895
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,240
going to start checking out and doing

896
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,560
other things and that is really the

897
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:08,440
moment that she checked in and really

898
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,400
started doing more and more work um it's

899
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,280

um try to be short but I'm sorry I I

914
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,760
kept on writing um

915
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,640
so looking back my journey with this

916
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,400
District it actually began in 1985 when

917
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,160
I started kindergarten at Roy cloud and

918
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:10,520
Dr Baker I think that's about when you

919
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:12,079
started with the district too um also

920
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,040
around R Cloud I think you were there

921
00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:15,760
for a little bit I was there for a

922
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:18,839
little bit I think we overlapped um so

923
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,319
back then Cloud was a k6 school and I

924
00:38:18,839 --> 00:38:22,680
went on to McKinley for seventh and

925
00:38:20,319 --> 00:38:23,839
eighth grade and fun fact when I started

926
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,680
seventh grade there that was the year

927
00:38:23,839 --> 00:38:28,040
they added sixth grade and there was

928
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,960
this brand new two-story building

929
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,440
that um was on McKinley's campus and now

930
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,800
belongs to Northstar that was for the

931
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,200
sixth graders so I never got to have

932
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,760
class in this air conditioning nice

933
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,920
building

934
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,359
um so fast forward a few decades um my

935
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,839
husband Tim and I bought our home in

936
00:38:42,359 --> 00:38:47,640
2012 just in time for our oldest Caleb

937
00:38:44,839 --> 00:38:49,000
to start kindergarten the following year

938
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,800
um and one of the reasons I loved the

939
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,760
location of our house was knowing that

940
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,119
our kids could walk to their Elementary

941
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:57,079
their middle and their high schools I

942
00:38:55,119 --> 00:38:59,240
remember walking to Henry Ford for

943
00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:02,079
school registration because it was in

944
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:03,480
person at the time um and I was timing

945
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:05,079
how long it would take to walk there and

946
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,200
then I doubled the amount of time to

947
00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:09,040
account for walking with three little

948
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,760
ones for school drop off um from the

949
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,200
beginning I knew I wanted to volunteer

950
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,680
in the classroom as much as possible and

951
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,520
I started by spending about three

952
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,800
mornings a week in Mrs barad's class and

953
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,040
I want to shout out I saw she's in the

954
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,839
audience online tonight so hi Mrs

955
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,560
barstead um I did not want to jump into

956
00:39:22,839 --> 00:39:27,480
PTA too quickly because I had plenty of

957
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:29,040
time for that um so that first year when

958
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,599
Caleb was in kindergarten the PTA needed

959
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:33,359
someone to help with graphic design for

960
00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:35,599
the pasta dinner event and since I was

961
00:39:33,359 --> 00:39:38,599
self-taught in graphic design and had an

962
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:41,200
Etsy business I offered to help um and

963
00:39:38,599 --> 00:39:42,720
that led me to attend a couple of PTA

964
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,839
meetings because I had to present to

965
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:48,280
them um by the third meeting I was

966
00:39:44,839 --> 00:39:50,839
introduced as the next year's PTA

967
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,720
president um during my first year of PTA

968
00:39:50,839 --> 00:39:55,359
president um The principal asked me to

969
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:56,800
attend a few facilities master plan

970
00:39:55,359 --> 00:39:58,520
Community meetings so that Henry Ford

971
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,760
would um have

972
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:03,400
representation um so then I became the

973
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,000
parent representative for the elcab

974
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,480
meetings which Alisa I think you were on

975
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:10,760
that committe at the time um and those

976
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:13,440
were long all day sessions Wendy you I

977
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:18,119
think you remember I'm

978
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:22,920
sorry yes um uh and mult like every

979
00:40:18,119 --> 00:40:26,440
month um so anyway somehow that led me

980
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,720
to attending Schoolboard meetings um and

981
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,480
one time I even sat in the back of the

982
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:31,240
room taking notes with a cray because

983
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,920
that was all I could find in my

984
00:40:31,240 --> 00:40:37,359
purse um so by 2015 I had a second

985
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,839
grader a first grader and a preschooler

986
00:40:37,359 --> 00:40:41,560
and a board seat was opening up um and I

987
00:40:39,839 --> 00:40:43,359
know that Alisa had asked me if I would

988
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,720
ever consider running for Schoolboard

989
00:40:43,359 --> 00:40:47,960
and I was probably quickly was like

990
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:49,480
nope and then I was sitting on my couch

991
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,800
at home and my phone rings and I was

992
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:54,640
like why is Dennis McBride calling me

993
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,160
how does he even know my number so I

994
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,440
answered and he wanted to get together

995
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,520
and talk about me running for school

996
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,480
board so um you know I agreed to meet

997
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,760
and talk about it and with um some

998
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,000
encouragement from the two of them and

999
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,200

1000
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:10,240

00:45:12,359 --> 00:45:18,319
too um as as I said I I did want to just

1108
00:45:15,319 --> 00:45:19,960
shout out to my um father who passed

1109
00:45:18,319 --> 00:45:22,079
away this year he was a community

1110
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:24,640
college instructor and really he was a

1111
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:27,960
teacher his whole life even after he

1112
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:30,960
retired he taught music and art and

1113
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:32,800
bicycling and um rocks and minerals and

1114
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:36,960
all sorts of things to people and so

1115
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:39,559
I've always had such a fondness and um

1116
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:42,000
and uh what do I want to say just

1117
00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:44,680
respect uh for teachers I mean really

1118
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,079
teachers are so important so and I know

1119
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,839
that we have some in the audience

1120
00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:51,000
tonight um and then my mother as they

1121
00:45:48,839 --> 00:45:53,680
said was a volunteer at the schools

1122
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,359
reading in libraries and uh was a school

1123
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,079
board member and both of them just

1124
00:45:55,359 --> 00:45:59,440
taught me the importance of Education

1125
00:45:57,079 --> 00:46:01,440
and certainly my experience has been

1126
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,240
education is the most important thing

1127
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,040
right it opens doors of opportunities

1128
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:07,800
for all of us and I know that's why

1129
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,599
we're all in the room and on the hard

1130
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:12,040
days let's remember that we're here for

1131
00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:15,079
the students right um we're here to make

1132
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:16,920
the world a better place um not only do

1133
00:46:15,079 --> 00:46:18,559
we teach them academics which is the

1134
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,559
most important thing that we're doing

1135
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:23,160
right we also teach them how to be good

1136
00:46:20,559 --> 00:46:27,119
citizens and good community members and

1137
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:29,359
friends um and I know through my

1138
00:46:27,119 --> 00:46:31,319
experience here in the schools I've made

1139
00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:33,559
some incredible friendships I know that

1140
00:46:31,319 --> 00:46:34,960
all of you have as well and it's just

1141
00:46:33,559 --> 00:46:37,160
been

1142
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,760
remarkable

1143
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,920
um let's see I did want to you know

1144
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,280
there's some I said a lot on Friday

1145
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,839
night as well and then I think some of

1146
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,440
the speakers have covered some of the

1147
00:46:44,839 --> 00:46:49,440
things I was going to say um but I think

1148
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,400
you know we've just been through so much

1149
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:55,040
together and Dr Baker I feel like you

1150
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:56,880
and I have kind of grown up together so

1151
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,839
um anyway I really appreciate your

1152
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,680
leadership on the board um if you don't

1153
00:46:58,839 --> 00:47:02,559
know a superintendent has a very hard

1154
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:06,839
job he's got five board members to

1155
00:47:02,559 --> 00:47:09,280
manage and to um work with as well as

1156
00:47:06,839 --> 00:47:11,040
all of you right um so really you've

1157
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,200
been an incredible leader and I think as

1158
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,359
Janet said helped us make some really

1159
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,359
hard decisions the last few years and I

1160
00:47:15,359 --> 00:47:19,800
know that you know sometimes we don't

1161
00:47:17,359 --> 00:47:21,400
make a decision that people want us to

1162
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:24,280
make but we're always trying to look at

1163
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:26,880
the biggest P bigger picture and really

1164
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,520
set the district up for success and

1165
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:32,599
we've never had enough resources uh but

1166
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,400
we always um you know do the best we can

1167
00:47:32,599 --> 00:47:36,760
and I do feel like we provide a high

1168
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,520
quality a very inclusive loving

1169
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,559
environment and education for our

1170
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,480
students and I love hearing from our

1171
00:47:40,559 --> 00:47:44,960
students that go on to high school

1172
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,920
college and in the world and so many of

1173
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,280

1174
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,760
things and many of them are giving back

1175
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,400
uh to this community or to other

1176
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:55,119

1606
01:07:45,119 --> 01:07:50,839
measure how well our district are doing

1607
01:07:48,119 --> 01:07:53,520
in our in those measure but rather did

1608
01:07:50,839 --> 01:07:55,559
we meet the requirement of the state to

1609
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:58,559
have the tools and the process in place

1610
01:07:55,559 --> 01:08:01,920
ways to measure these things um like how

1611
01:07:58,559 --> 01:08:04,200
teachers are credentials um the parent

1612
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:07,079
family engagement did we survey our

1653
01:09:58,159 --> 01:10:03,159
bottom right corner where there is no

1654
01:10:01,239 --> 01:10:05,239
performance color we have two student

1655
01:10:03,159 --> 01:10:09,120
groups are American Indian and Foster

count of the student is under 30 um

1658
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:18,280
there will be no performance indicator

1659
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:20,280
for that group um just for the protect

1660
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:25,600
the student

1661
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:28,159
confidentiality um okay next slide

1662
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:30,320
um this slide here is the distribution

1663
01:10:28,159 --> 01:10:32,239
of our school in different dashboard

1664
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:35,239

23 school year the green represent our

1668
01:10:41,679 --> 01:10:48,159
last year dashboard status which is 23

1669
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:51,000
24 school year um if you're looking at

1670
01:10:48,159 --> 01:10:54,280
the green and you can see that we have

1671

less School in the high and very high

1672
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:59,520
status so for chronic absenteeism we

1673
01:10:57,199 --> 01:11:01,880
want our school to have a lower chronic

1674
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:05,199
absentismo

1675
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:08,320
our school towards the right hand sides

um so um for 23

1678
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:17,600
24 we have reduced the number of school

1679
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:22,239
in the very high and high status for

1680
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:22,239
chronic absenteeism so that's a positive

1681
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:28,120

1688
01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:50,719
did they remain the same for 23 24 nine

1689
01:11:47,159 --> 01:11:54,080

indicator on the dashboard is suspension

1698
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:23,360
rate um with the suspension rate of

1699
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:26,560
2.5% and a decline from the previous

1700
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:30,600
year that landed us on a low suspension

1701
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:33,000
rate and a green status for the

1702
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:35,000
dashboard okay and then on the right

1703
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:39,360
side you will see how our student groups

1704
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:41,159
are doing in terms of um uh how many how

1705
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:43,440
what's the percentage of student being

1706
01:12:41,159 --> 01:12:46,880
suspended for student

1707
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:49,320
groups um we can see that student who

1708
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:52,440
are in homeless long-term English

1709
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:54,600
learner and Pacific Islander or are in

1710
01:12:52,440 --> 01:12:57,600
the orange indicators they are more

1711
01:12:54,600 --> 01:13:00,000
likely to get suspended than other

1712
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,000
student

1713
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,159
groups next

1714
01:13:07,480 --> 01:13:13,760
slide um so this is also the school

1715
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:15,320
distribution of where our schools are um

1716
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:19,480
on the

1717
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:22,400
dashboard um for suspension we also

1718
01:13:19,480 --> 01:13:25,480
similar to Chronic

1719
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:28,320
absenteeism um we want our school to be

1720
01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:31,520
in the low and very low

1721
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:34,000
bucket we can still note that none of

1722
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:36,280
our school are in very high suspension

1723
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,360
status so we only have high medium low

1724
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:40,320
and very

1725
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:43,040
low um for 23 24

1726
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:45,760
dashboard we have less School in high

1727
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:48,280
and medium status compared to the

1728
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:54,320
2223 which is a positive

1729
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:54,320
outcome um next slide please

1730
01:13:56,199 --> 01:14:02,320
for the change of how the school uh is

1731
01:13:59,159 --> 01:14:05,800
doing for their suspension rate we can

1732
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:07,880
see an impressive I'm sorry we can see

1733
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:12,000
an impressive change in suspension at

1734
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:15,120
our school five of our school last year

1735
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:17,840
have declined significantly compared to

1736
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:19,840
only one school declin significantly on

1737
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:22,600
22 23

1738
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:24,040
dashboard um only three of our school

1739
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:27,400
increase in

1740
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:29,960
suspension compared to 22 23 we were we

1741
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:32,800
had six School increases

1742
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:35,199
suspension and then finally in the last

1743
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:37,880
column we have no school increased

1744
01:14:35,199 --> 01:14:40,159
significantly for 2324

1745
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:42,880
dashboard for

1746
01:14:40,159 --> 01:14:46,560
suspension next

1747
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:50,800
slide so this the third indicator for

1748
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:53,080
the state War um is English learner

1749
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:56,120
progress um for those who are not

1750
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:58,400
familiar annually our English learner

1751
01:14:56,120 --> 01:15:01,159
um all English Learner in the state of

1752
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:03,639
California will take the summative Alpac

1753
01:15:01,159 --> 01:15:07,040
test which measure the English

1754
01:15:03,639 --> 01:15:10,360
proficiency level the El progress

1755
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:13,520
indicator measure how much progress does

1756
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:16,679
our English learner are doing each year

1757
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:17,920
towards their English proficiency so

1758
01:15:16,679 --> 01:15:21,199
with

1759
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:24,320
47.3% of our student making progress

1760
01:15:21,199 --> 01:15:26,840
that's a big increase from previous year

1761
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:28,800
which brought status on the Das for from

1762
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:33,440
Red straight to

1763
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:35,719
Green for 23 24 um school year on the

1764
01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:38,080
right side you will see that this year

1765
01:15:35,719 --> 01:15:40,280
the dashbo also have a distinguish

1766
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:42,239
between English Learners and long-term

1767
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:44,920
English Learners they're tracking their

1768
01:15:42,239 --> 01:15:46,880
progress separately um before they all

1769
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:50,840
group into one group English learner but

1770
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:52,760
now they separate out and the new um

1771
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:55,560
guideline for long-term English Learners

1772
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:57,719
now are seven or more years

1773
01:15:55,560 --> 01:16:00,560
previously it was six or more years so

1774
01:15:57,719 --> 01:16:02,920
now it's seven or more years you can see

1775
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,880
that um long-term English learner

1776
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:07,400
actually making um there higher

1777
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,719
percentage of student who are long-term

1778
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:12,560
language learner making progress on

1779
01:16:09,719 --> 01:16:12,560
their language

1780
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:20,320
proficiency next

1781
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:23,199
slide so this slides are showing you um

1782
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:27,000
the percentage student who increase or

1783
01:16:23,199 --> 01:16:29,600
decrease in their uh um test level for

1784
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:32,120
elpac throughout the school

1785
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:34,239
years what we try to focus on is the

1786
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:37,600
last column of

1787
01:16:34,239 --> 01:16:41,000
2024 we have a good chunk of

1788
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:46,000
47.5% in P those are student who

1789
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:50,000
progress at least one lpac one LP level

1790
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:53,040
compared to the 22 23 we only have 40%

1791
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:56,840
so that that's a very positive um

1792
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:56,840
outcome also for our English learners

1793
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,600

okay next slide please so so far those

1823
01:18:29,480 --> 01:18:34,120
are good

1824
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:38,719
news next is the academics indicators

1825
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:41,400
which many of us are familiar with um

1826
01:18:38,719 --> 01:18:44,000
when the esack result was released back

1827
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:47,400
in September we kind of have an idea of

1828
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:49,480
how our school was doing um but compared

01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:51,280
to other Statewide indicator our

1830
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:54,040
district and school are not doing as

1831
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:55,560
well as we've seen um with other

1832
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:58,320
indicators

1833
01:18:55,560 --> 01:19:02,520
um we are now currently at

1834
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:06,679
40.5 points below the Statewide standard

1835
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:09,560
this is a um declined in performance um

1836
01:19:06,679 --> 01:19:12,480
that put it at Orange status we were in

1837
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:15,960
yellow last year now we got down to

1838
01:19:12,480 --> 01:19:19,880
Orange um however the state is also in

1839
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:21,719
the same level with us which is also

1840
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:25,520
orange next

1841
01:19:21,719 --> 01:19:27,600
slide um this Li you can see the number

1842
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:30,960
of school in each of the status bucket

1843
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:34,159
are pretty similar between two dashboard

1844
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:36,840
um nine of our school are in very low

1845
01:19:34,159 --> 01:19:38,440
and very low status so these are the

1846
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:41,000
status that we don't want our school to

1847
01:19:38,440 --> 01:19:44,400
be in for academic we want them to be on

1848
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:47,639
the left side very high and

1849
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:47,639
high next

1850
01:19:48,159 --> 01:19:53,360
slide similarly here we don't see our

1851
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:56,000
school are making many changes on their

1852
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:58,560
s math dashboard

1853
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:00,040
um we have more school in 23 24

1854
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:02,320
dashboard decline or decline

1855
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:05,760
significantly significantly compared to

1856
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,760
222 23-4

1857
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:11,679
though next

1858
01:20:08,199 --> 01:20:14,800
slide um so the last indicator on the

1859
01:20:11,679 --> 01:20:18,440
dashboard is um English learner language

1860
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:19,880
English language arts we are at 16.8

1861
01:20:18,440 --> 01:20:22,840
points below

1862
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:26,040
Stander that is also a decline from last

1863
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:28,440
year however we didn't go down um we

1864
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:31,600
stay at the orange

1865
01:20:28,440 --> 01:20:33,840
status um we also comparable to the

1866
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:35,560
state they also in um Statewide

1867
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:37,800
California Statewide they're also in the

1868
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:41,120
orange

1869
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:41,120
status next

1870
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:46,800
slide in terms of the school

1871
01:20:44,199 --> 01:20:51,920
distribution we have more school going

1872
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:55,480
from low performance to very low in esac

1873
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:59,760
ela so for 23 24

1874
01:20:55,480 --> 01:21:02,600
we have three in low and five in very

1875
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:05,360
low you can see that shift in the last

1876
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:07,320
two columns of the

1877
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:10,199
chart next

1878
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:13,080
slide um finally looking at the

1879
01:21:10,199 --> 01:21:17,600
change most of our schools again similar

1880
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:20,880
to math um are in a decline or decline

1881
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:22,840
significantly so total seven School two

1882
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:24,600
of the school maintain their score and

1883
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:27,120
then three School increase their

1884
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:29,719
language our performance um so but

1885
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:32,440
overall we are not doing better compared

1886
01:21:29,719 --> 01:21:38,520
to the previous year

1887
01:21:32,440 --> 01:21:38,520
dashboard okay and that is the end of my

1888
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:47,800
presentation so one of the things I want

1889
01:21:44,719 --> 01:21:52,560
to share is we've um because of our

1890
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:54,560
dashboard last year um we also put many

1891
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:56,080
things into place this year so far MO

1892
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:58,800
board members there's a lot that has

1893
01:21:56,080 --> 01:22:00,880
been taking place in the last two years

1894
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:04,480
um but this year we've really had taken

1895
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:07,560
a focus on on our English Learners and

1896
01:22:04,480 --> 01:22:09,639
so part of our work this year with our

1897
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:12,639
staffing there's been a lot of work

1898
01:22:09,639 --> 01:22:16,159
around English Learners making sure um

1899
01:22:12,639 --> 01:22:19,679
all our PD so we have h f five and a

1900
01:22:16,159 --> 01:22:21,800
half scheduled PDS with a half day and

1901
01:22:19,679 --> 01:22:24,360
all of them have been continuing in our

1902
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,639
elementary K5 have been continuing with

1903
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:27,639
our our new math adoption that we

1904
01:22:25,639 --> 01:22:30,760
started last year so we Contin with PD

1905
01:22:27,639 --> 01:22:34,360
this year in math we've also done um a

1906
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:36,040
number of um integrated Al which is our

1907
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:38,560
focus on English Learners and making

1908
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:42,120
sure our teachers are actually using

1909
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:44,000
strategies um some of our best practices

1910
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:46,360
for students who are learning English in

1911
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,840
their classroom so we have a partnered

1912
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,280
with Stanford who's working with our

1913
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:53,960
Middle School we have contracted with

1914
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:56,560
teachers spay teachers um who also are

1915
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:59,400
the publish for our ELD curriculum and

1916
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:02,360
so they also are providing um integrated

1917
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:04,280
ELD as well as more focus on language

1918
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:06,480
power which is our curriculum as well

1919
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:09,360
for supplemental ELD so we've done a lot

1920
01:23:06,480 --> 01:23:10,960
of PD this year um apart from that we're

1921
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:13,440
also been doing goal setting and

1922
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:16,360
conferences with our principles we've

1923
01:23:13,440 --> 01:23:18,000
also been doing um our professional

1924
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,960
learning communities and so we've

1925
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:22,360
partnered with a California reading

1926
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:24,159
project and so they have been leading us

1927
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:26,280
through um our professional lead

1928
01:23:24,159 --> 01:23:28,239
learning communities and so we've been

1929
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,960
working with them and so we've had our

1930
01:23:28,239 --> 01:23:32,120
two cycles yet we're still going to

1931
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:34,239
start our next one and so the way it

1932
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:36,639
works is we do our first cycle We Come

1933
01:23:34,239 --> 01:23:37,920
Together We review what happened on the

1934
01:23:36,639 --> 01:23:40,560
first one then we continue so we're

1935
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:42,320
going to go into our next one in January

1936
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:45,760
so we try to close off and one of our

1937
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:47,159
goals is um we're creating a foundation

1938
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:49,679
this year for professional learn

1939
01:23:47,159 --> 01:23:51,760
Community looking at data teachers

1940
01:23:49,679 --> 01:23:55,199
setting smart goals and then reviewing

1941
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:57,239
them as grade level teams um some

1942
01:23:55,199 --> 01:23:58,480
schools have even had teachers create

1943
01:23:57,239 --> 01:24:00,520
their own smart GRS with their own

1944
01:23:58,480 --> 01:24:02,360
students so groups of students so

1945
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,760
depending on where they're at in their

1946
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,400
Journey on the professional learning

1947
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:07,560
community so we've been done a lot of

1948
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:09,440
work um you've probably heard of our

1949
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,320
students taking the fiab which is an

1950
01:24:09,440 --> 01:24:14,080
interm assessment which is similar to

1951
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:16,000
the state test um we're doing a writing

1952
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:18,440
assessment we've just administered the

1953
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:19,719
last couple of days and what we're going

1954
01:24:18,440 --> 01:24:21,480
to be doing in January is they're going

1955
01:24:19,719 --> 01:24:23,960
to be scoring them we're going to be

1956
01:24:21,480 --> 01:24:25,480
then doing some data analysis on that so

1957
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:27,320
that teachers can then plan for

1958
01:24:25,480 --> 01:24:29,000
instruction before we take the state

1959
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,560
standardized test so it's giving us an

1960
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:33,080
idea of what needs to be done in the

1961
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,560
writing which is an area that we haven't

1962
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:38,000
focused in as much but we know our

1963
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:39,480
students need it um and so one of the

1964
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:42,040
goals next year is really our

1965
01:24:39,480 --> 01:24:45,040
professional learning communities is it

1966
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:47,440
that we begin the year looking at data

1967
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:49,880
creating goals and just doing a cyclical

1968
01:24:47,440 --> 01:24:52,400
every six weeks and getting into the

1969
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:54,400
practice of of creating smart goals and

1970
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,880
looking at our data more consistently

1971
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,080
and so some schools are a little ahead

1972
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:59,239
of that they have teachers who've

1973
01:24:57,080 --> 01:25:01,239
already done that before um but really

1974
01:24:59,239 --> 01:25:02,960
trying to get everyone on the same page

1975
01:25:01,239 --> 01:25:05,520
and creating those cycles of inquiry

1976
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:08,400
which are really important to moving um

1977
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:09,920
the students forward and also making the

1978
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,239
students also be aware of where they

1979
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:13,600
need to go through the goal setting

1980
01:25:11,239 --> 01:25:15,360
conferences as well so really trying to

1981
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,360
focus on the students and what we need

1982
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:19,480
to do to set them in

1983
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:21,560
place last year we had a number of

1984
01:25:19,480 --> 01:25:23,639
schools um the state because if you see

1985
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:25,719
the red indicators we have a number of

1986
01:25:23,639 --> 01:25:28,400
schools who those indicators then tell

1987
01:25:25,719 --> 01:25:30,440
us what schools we need to focus on so

1988
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:32,600
last year we had uh five schools who

1989
01:25:30,440 --> 01:25:36,520
were considered an atsi and we had two

1990
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:38,520
who are in the CSI um areas and so what

1991
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:41,320
that means is as a district we have to

1992
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:43,880
create on our lcap goals for how we are

1993
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:45,679
going to improve the work in our with

1994
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:47,560
those those teachers and those those

1995
01:25:45,679 --> 01:25:51,080
schools so we have partnered with

1996
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:52,760
teacher created materials um we have had

1997
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:55,840
they've been working with our coaches

1998
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:58,560
our district mtss to not tosas I mean

1999
01:25:55,840 --> 01:26:00,480
our staff development and we are going

2000
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:03,239
through a series of coaching so that

2001
01:26:00,480 --> 01:26:05,679
they're learning to do coaching as well

2002
01:26:03,239 --> 01:26:08,000
and we are reviewing best practices

2003
01:26:05,679 --> 01:26:10,679
they're uh planning at sites with

2004
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:13,199
teachers um they're on site for days a

2005
01:26:10,679 --> 01:26:15,119
week at just designated sites so we're

2006
01:26:13,199 --> 01:26:16,600
really truly we understand we know that

2007
01:26:15,119 --> 01:26:19,280
how important it is for teachers to have

2008
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:21,600
someone to plan with and be there when

2009
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:23,280
they need you know they may have a a

2010
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:25,800
question about curriculum so we're

2011
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:28,679
really looking at those School sites and

2012
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:30,360
this year um we've been very fortunate

2013
01:26:28,679 --> 01:26:32,600
that we have moved some of these schools

2014
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:35,040
out of these statuses for this coming

2015
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:37,639
year um but our focus is still there

2016
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:39,920
because we're still in red indicators um

2017
01:26:37,639 --> 01:26:42,480
so for our atsi status we've also

2018
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:45,440
partnered with TCM and CSI we've done

2019
01:26:42,480 --> 01:26:48,520
three cycles of what we call coaching

2020
01:26:45,440 --> 01:26:50,320
Cycles so we have our TCM coaches who

2021
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:52,840
are Masters are really College

2022
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:55,040
professors who come in and they do some

2023
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:57,080
demonstrations we debrief

2024
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:58,840
and then teachers now so our first one

2025
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:01,719
was a lot of demonstration lessons a lot

2026
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:03,960
of debriefing the second one was uh

2027
01:27:01,719 --> 01:27:05,360
demonstration by them one our coaches

2028
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:06,440
then did a lesson and then they were

2029
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:08,560
debriefed and then there was some

2030
01:27:06,440 --> 01:27:10,880
planning time for teachers um we're

2031
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:13,159
going to ENT our third cycle um coming

2032
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,840
up in January and so we're working on

2033
01:27:13,159 --> 01:27:16,800
what that is going to look like a

2034
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:19,560
demonstration bringing actually other

2035
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:21,560
school sites together to view grade

2036
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:22,840
levels and then plan so it's a little

2037
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,639
different model because they were just

2038
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:27,280
at their own level at their own School

2039
01:27:24,639 --> 01:27:29,239
sites um but our we know that the

2040
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:31,600
benefit of having others see and

2041
01:27:29,239 --> 01:27:33,239
demonstrate also providing them good

2042
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:35,400
planning time on standard based

2043
01:27:33,239 --> 01:27:36,719
instruction is one of our goals and so

2044
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:38,920
that's what we're going to be focusing

2045
01:27:36,719 --> 01:27:41,719
on focusing on and for our CSI schools

2046
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:43,960
we have two extra Cycles um that will be

2047
01:27:41,719 --> 01:27:46,119
coming at we're still planning those as

2048
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:48,360
we go through the cycles then we look at

2049
01:27:46,119 --> 01:27:50,520
what are the needs of the schools um but

2050
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:52,920
all of them have some form of

2051
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:55,080
demonstration some form of coaching for

2052
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:57,040
our coaches as well as planning time for

2053
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,520
our teachers so really we're really

2054
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:00,000
trying to make sure that we're covering

2055
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:02,520
all of these sites because all of these

2056
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:04,880
sites have engl had English Learners and

2057
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:07,840
red indicators in both math and mini in

2058
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:10,639
math and Min in ela um but as you can

2059
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:13,080
see we have made huge improvements in

2060
01:28:10,639 --> 01:28:14,920
our English language um development with

2061
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:16,960
our students we have a long way to go

2062
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:18,600
still in our language arts and math

2063
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:21,480
we've put a lot of new curriculum into

2064
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:23,239
play in the last couple of years um and

2065
01:28:21,480 --> 01:28:25,480
so we know that it takes time for

2066
01:28:23,239 --> 01:28:27,320
everyone to become solid in the teaching

2067
01:28:25,480 --> 01:28:30,400
practices of our new curriculum but I

2068
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:32,159
think this year um we have also put into

2069
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:34,760
play our cohesion what we call our

2070
01:28:32,159 --> 01:28:36,760
cohesion program model at the district

2071
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:40,080
where we're really looking at as a

2072
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:42,080
district making sure everyone's doing

2073
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:43,960
standard-based instruction we're looking

2074
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:46,080
at the curriculum and that we're seeing

2075
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:47,679
it in action and as all of us cabinet

2076
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:49,560
members are out and about at school

2077
01:28:47,679 --> 01:28:52,400
sites we're really looking to make sure

2078
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:54,920
that is implemented um because we can

2079
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:57,520
only be part of that information is we

2080
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:59,199
use that information to do our PLC work

2081
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:01,159
which we want everyone to be doing so

2082
01:28:59,199 --> 01:29:02,880
that means common assessments that

2083
01:29:01,159 --> 01:29:04,320
really in looking at the data and so we

2084
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:06,280
can't do that if we're not on on the

2085
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:08,119
same page so this year we're really

2086
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:10,679
putting a lot of that into practice so

2087
01:29:08,119 --> 01:29:13,639
that next year will be much more

2088
01:29:10,679 --> 01:29:16,760
stronger in having a cohesive system and

2089
01:29:13,639 --> 01:29:18,760
alignment and we have now our data of

2090
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:21,000
what we'll be looking at with our

2091
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:22,920
staff um so there's a lot of work had

2092
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:24,639
gone into all of that just wanted to

2093
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:27,280
bring you to on board to all the

2094
01:29:24,639 --> 01:29:28,520
information that um so everyone

2095
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,320
understands there's been a lot of work

2096
01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:32,320
and so we're now starting to plan for

2097
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:34,000
next year as well and trying to figure

2098
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:36,920
out what are our next steps next year

2099
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:40,000
because we only actually have one school

2100
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:42,480
in atsi status next year so we have

2101
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:44,159
moved a lot of them out um you don't

2102
01:29:42,480 --> 01:29:46,520
need a lot but it just means there's

2103
01:29:44,159 --> 01:29:48,320
been a lot of movement and so we really

2104
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,600
want to focus on this one school neure

2105
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,560
but we'll continue to focus on the

2106
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:56,040
schools that have red

2107
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:56,040
indicators so any questions

2108
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:59,920
yeah okay yeah we can open it up to

2109
01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:01,199
board questions um and comments just

2110
01:29:59,920 --> 01:30:04,159
David you look like you were ready to

2111
01:30:01,199 --> 01:30:07,520
jump in first do you David Lee um no no

2112
01:30:04,159 --> 01:30:09,880
no no no please go ahead it's your

2113
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:13,080
turn um that's super helpful to get the

2114
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:14,840
context and to see the data um my big

2115
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:16,080
questions were kind of just like seeing

2116
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:17,520
what the results are knowing kind of

2117
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:19,840
where we are at that point and then

2118
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:23,080
tying that to qualitatively what we've

2119
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:24,440
been doing to one see what's causing it

2120
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:27,159
as well as how we're addressing it it

2121
01:30:24,440 --> 01:30:29,480
sounds like there's been quite a bit um

2122
01:30:27,159 --> 01:30:33,520
especially on E the English ler English

2123
01:30:29,480 --> 01:30:34,920
learner progress but super super um glad

2124
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:36,920
to see all the progress being made and

2125
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:39,199
it sounds like there's a clear or sounds

2126
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:40,560
like we have a clear idea of what is

2127
01:30:39,199 --> 01:30:43,920
causing that which is the large

2128
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:44,920
investment in English uh learner PD Etc

2129
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:46,080
and then sounds like there's a lot of

2130
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,560
best practices that you're taking there

2131
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:49,199
not only for English learner but also

2132
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,000
across the board with math and Ela is

2133
01:30:49,199 --> 01:30:53,360
that

2134
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:54,639
fair um I guess my questions are uh a

2135
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:58,080
little bit on the ma

2136
01:30:54,639 --> 01:31:01,760
ela1 do we um do we have a sense of how

2137
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:03,360
this data Compares across the state in

2138
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:05,639
terms of like if other areas are

2139
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:07,840
generally seeing declines but the

2140
01:31:05,639 --> 01:31:10,119
question is more of do we think that

2141
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:12,000
this is kind of like Co rebound kind of

2142
01:31:10,119 --> 01:31:12,760
thing where it's widespread or do we

2143
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,440
think that there's something a little

2144
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:16,360
bit more isolated that we're

2145
01:31:14,440 --> 01:31:18,520
experiencing I think in terms of the

2146
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:19,679
state we're probably very similar um

2147
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:22,239
when they look when we look at their

2148
01:31:19,679 --> 01:31:25,080
math scores um it's very very similar

2149
01:31:22,239 --> 01:31:27,600
our we're probably comparable to them I

2150
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:29,520
don't think that this you know maybe Co

2151
01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:31,280
maybe many other things one of the

2152
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:34,080
things that you need to we need all need

2153
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:37,199
to know is that our focus in Reading has

2154
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:38,920
been really um immense because the state

2155
01:31:37,199 --> 01:31:40,920
standardized test is no longer just

2156
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:43,360
arithmetic it is reading word problems

2157
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:44,960
and then having children explain so if

2158
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:46,679
they can't read it they're not having

2159
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:49,360
the access to be able to explain their

2160
01:31:46,679 --> 01:31:51,119
thinking so we are really putting a lot

2161
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:54,280
of effort into making sure our students

2162
01:31:51,119 --> 01:31:55,760
are reading um because that is a big

2163
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:57,800
need if they're not reading by third

2164
01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:00,920
grade and that's their first assessment

2165
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:02,239
in third grade um we're doing a

2166
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,560
disservice to them because they're not

2167
01:32:02,239 --> 01:32:05,239
going to be able to assess the test

2168
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:06,639
they're not be able to take the test in

2169
01:32:05,239 --> 01:32:09,000
a way and show really what their

2170
01:32:06,639 --> 01:32:10,719
knowledge is one of the things we are

2171
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:12,880
putting into play and and we've heard

2172
01:32:10,719 --> 01:32:14,719
this um I've heard this from teachers

2173
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:16,920
and we're moving forward to that is

2174
01:32:14,719 --> 01:32:18,600
trying to figure out how do we in the

2175
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:20,639
pastors we were over we did a lot of

2176
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:23,080
Assessments and I ready and constantly

2177
01:32:20,639 --> 01:32:24,760
so we've looked at um what other

2178
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,840
assessments can we do and so one of the

2179
01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:29,440
things the teachers are asking for is we

2180
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:31,280
did interm assessments which are mimic

2181
01:32:29,440 --> 01:32:32,880
right the state some of our curriculum

2182
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:35,239
actually has some of those practices as

2183
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:37,119
well and so we're really teachers are

2184
01:32:35,239 --> 01:32:39,480
asking can we put that into our cycle of

2185
01:32:37,119 --> 01:32:40,920
inquiry so this year is a slow roll out

2186
01:32:39,480 --> 01:32:42,239
because we're barely getting back so

2187
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:44,040
hopefully next year we'll be doing a

2188
01:32:42,239 --> 01:32:45,840
little bit more of that just so that

2189
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:47,400
we're preparing the students for what

2190
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:49,440
the test will look like as well as

2191
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:51,760
giving them those exposures for our

2192
01:32:49,440 --> 01:32:53,440
students um but we tell teachers be

2193
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:54,880
patient because there's a lot of this is

2194
01:32:53,440 --> 01:32:56,760
the first time we're doing it in a

2195
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:58,360
number of years and so there's we just

2196
01:32:56,760 --> 01:33:00,520
this month there's been a lot of hiccups

2197
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:02,199
and things aren't working the way we

2198
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:03,760
want them to do so we're hoping that

2199
01:33:02,199 --> 01:33:05,280
that state the state will fine-tune that

2200
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:08,280
so that next year if we're doing it more

2201
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:10,040
cyclical on a regular basis um it will

2202
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:11,840
be able to address some of those things

2203
01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:13,800
and give the students opportunities to

2204
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:14,840
actually practice which we hadn't done

2205
01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:18,239
in the

2206
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:19,560
past that's super helpful um the only

2207
01:33:18,239 --> 01:33:21,719
other question I had was and I might

2208
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:23,440
have missed it um was just on the

2209
01:33:21,719 --> 01:33:26,239
chronic absenteeism and the suspension

2210
01:33:23,440 --> 01:33:28,560
also encouraging to see the progress Are

2211
01:33:26,239 --> 01:33:30,400
there specific things that we are tying

2212
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:32,840
to that Improvement like make sure we

2213
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:35,360
keep on doing that there's been a lot of

2214
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:37,800
work on that um I would say our director

2215
01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:39,960
of student services Antonio has monthly

2216
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:42,600
meetings on attendance with our we've

2217
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:45,000
been working on T since pandemic he has

2218
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:47,040
put into place some protocols that now

2219
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,800
are being used at all the sites there

2220
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:52,159
are teams that are really looking at

2221
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:53,840
that we have our osas who also support

2222
01:33:52,159 --> 01:33:55,840
um so there's an assessment team there's

2223
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:59,040
an attendance team at each School site

2224
01:33:55,840 --> 01:34:01,080
that meets monthly or regularly um we

2225
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:03,320
have a new system in our power school

2226
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:07,000
our power school analytics that actually

2227
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:09,000
provides us information right away about

2228
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:11,719
our attendance which we didn't have in

2229
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:14,000
the past so this year people are

2230
01:34:11,719 --> 01:34:15,760
actually able to see it very quickly and

2231
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,199
say oh this student was absent or not

2232
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:19,639
you can actually track it a little bit

2233
01:34:17,199 --> 01:34:21,600
better um but there's been a lot of work

2234
01:34:19,639 --> 01:34:25,280
in it and a lot of emphasis in the last

2235
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:26,920
two years um calling parents um really

2236
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:29,280
trying to get them into school we are

2237
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:30,960
seeing that schools students are you

2238
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:33,719
know starting to come back we still have

2239
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:35,800
some students who are struggling um and

2240
01:34:33,719 --> 01:34:37,639
so trying to put into place what do we

2241
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:39,760
do for those students who have high

2242
01:34:37,639 --> 01:34:41,400
anxiety um because we still have some

2243
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:43,199
students who are really anxious and

2244
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:45,360
aren't coming to school because of high

2245
01:34:43,199 --> 01:34:47,800
anxiety so really trying to put things

2246
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:49,199
put things into place um how do we bring

2247
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:50,840
them back and working at those families

2248
01:34:49,199 --> 01:34:52,560
and bringing them back slowly if they're

2249
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:54,800
not ready to be here all day but trying

2250
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:56,600
to transition um so there's been a lot

2251
01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:58,679
of work done in terms of

2252
01:34:56,600 --> 01:35:01,360
suspensions um I know our director

2253
01:34:58,679 --> 01:35:03,239
Services last year met with every single

2254
01:35:01,360 --> 01:35:05,320
principle in terms of it had high

2255
01:35:03,239 --> 01:35:07,600
suspensions and really went over how can

2256
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:09,400
we create an alternative to suspension

2257
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:11,840
what can we do let's look at why we're

2258
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:13,800
suspending what are the reasons what is

2259
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:15,480
suspendable and not so going through all

2260
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:17,719
of that really helped I think our

2261
01:35:15,480 --> 01:35:19,440
principles understand what is actually

2262
01:35:17,719 --> 01:35:20,960
suspendable versus not there are some

2263
01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:22,480
things that are just you know egregious

2264
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:24,600
you have to suspend and there are those

2265
01:35:22,480 --> 01:35:27,760
that you figure out how to I manag that

2266
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:31,280
in a different way um in the past vaping

2267
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:33,639
was huge and we haven't had as on what

2268
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:35,760
as much vaping this year but there was a

2269
01:35:33,639 --> 01:35:37,600
lot of suspensions for vaping and

2270
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:39,320
smoking which this year we haven't and

2271
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:41,679
so again looking at how do we what's the

2272
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:43,239
alternative to vaping how do we provide

2273
01:35:41,679 --> 01:35:46,280
those students those support so that's

2274
01:35:43,239 --> 01:35:47,800
been a huge amount of our time in the

2275
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:49,280
past couple of years so I think that's

2276
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:51,480
been a change that we're looking at no

2277
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:53,639
longer suspending for that just that one

2278
01:35:51,480 --> 01:35:55,840
area brought in a lot of suspension so

2279
01:35:53,639 --> 01:35:57,119
so looking at our our reasons for

2280
01:35:55,840 --> 01:36:00,280
suspension and going through with the

2281
01:35:57,119 --> 01:36:02,440
fine to comb really helps um has helped

2282
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:04,440
us put a different light on why and

2283
01:36:02,440 --> 01:36:06,719
continue to work on our PBIS models

2284
01:36:04,440 --> 01:36:09,920
across the district as

2285
01:36:06,719 --> 01:36:12,719
well thank you you're

2286
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:13,639
welcome Jennifer are you ready no no

2287
01:36:12,719 --> 01:36:17,000
okay

2288
01:36:13,639 --> 01:36:19,840
Cecilia um sure thanks Jenny of course

2289
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:22,440
like always for the presentation um and

2290
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:24,520
my question my question regarding

2291
01:36:22,440 --> 01:36:27,880
long-term English learning when we talk

2292
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:30,639
about seven plus years are we referring

2293
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:33,199
to students that are in our district

2294
01:36:30,639 --> 01:36:36,440
seven or more years or are we counting

2295
01:36:33,199 --> 01:36:39,600
them as seven plus years in this

2296
01:36:36,440 --> 01:36:41,520
country are we seven for seven plus

2297
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:43,760
years since the day they were identified

2298
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:46,239
as English Learners because the state

2299
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:47,960
would basically say you've been learning

2300
01:36:46,239 --> 01:36:50,880
English for seven years you are a

2301
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:52,600
long-term English Learners um so they do

2302
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:54,800
collect the time and the date the

2303
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:57,119
student will first assess with the test

2304
01:36:54,800 --> 01:37:00,560
and they take it and they do seven years

2305
01:36:57,119 --> 01:37:01,880
um the the tricky part was that um if

2306
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:04,880
just let's say the student was an

2307
01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:06,400
English Learner in May last year right

2308
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:08,960
it's like one month before the school

2309
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:11,440
end then they consider two years of

2310
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:13,560
English learner this year so as long as

2311
01:37:11,440 --> 01:37:15,800
you are English learner at any point in

2312
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:18,480
time during the Academic Year that's

2313
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:20,080
counted with one year so you can have a

2314
01:37:18,480 --> 01:37:22,639
student who just came to the country

2315
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:24,040
last may they are now two years of

2316
01:37:22,639 --> 01:37:26,679
English learners

2317
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:29,280
um that's just how they simplifies their

2318
01:37:26,679 --> 01:37:33,639
followers then that's how they calculate

2319
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:35,719
okay great thank you um and then my more

2320
01:37:33,639 --> 01:37:38,320
of like Kudos regarding again the

2321
01:37:35,719 --> 01:37:38,320
absentismo

2322
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:42,760
and calling the families because

2323
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:44,360
obviously we've heard this in the past

2324
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:47,360
and how that's making a big difference

2325
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:48,719
so thanks to all those involved um and I

2326
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:50,320
don't have any other questions just want

2327
01:37:48,719 --> 01:37:53,880
to say you know thank you because again

2328
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:55,159
the needle is moving so I appreciate it

2329
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:57,360
so I feel like we got kind of a mixed

2330
01:37:55,159 --> 01:38:00,520
bag on this there's clearly lots of

2331
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:03,159
effort that was spent on uh absenteeism

2332
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:05,040
every message that I get for my kids at

2333
01:38:03,159 --> 01:38:07,040
my school is like remember you got to

2334
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:08,599
send your kids to school right and so

2335
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:11,239
it's it's very clear that the district

2336
01:38:08,599 --> 01:38:13,400
on lots of different axes is trying hard

2337
01:38:11,239 --> 01:38:15,360
to to drive up attendance and drive down

2338
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:16,960
chronic absenteeism and we see that

2339
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:18,239
reflected that that effort seems to be

2340
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,280
bearing fruit so I think that's

2341
01:38:18,239 --> 01:38:22,560
fantastic we also are seeing good

2342
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:25,360
progress in terms of uh English language

2343
01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:27,840
Learners which is which is great um I

2344
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:30,400
find it the change in definition for

2345
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:31,719
long-term English language Learners um

2346
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:33,320
that that definition change from five

2347
01:38:31,719 --> 01:38:34,960
years to seven years I I I feel like

2348
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:36,400
it's a step back and I'm kind of

2349
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:39,880
disappointed by that's is the state

2350
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:41,960
level right um because again I think

2351
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:44,000
there's such clear data that we have

2352
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:46,520
that English proficiency by the end of

2353
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:49,320
third grade is such a clear determinant

2354
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:51,639
of long-term academic outcomes that if

2355
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:53,119
we say like well if it takes 5 years six

2356
01:38:51,639 --> 01:38:55,239
years for them to become English

2357
01:38:53,119 --> 01:38:58,360
proficient that's fine we know it's not

2358
01:38:55,239 --> 01:39:00,520
fine right so we we have to however the

2359
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:02,560
state wants to do this and sort of lower

2360
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:04,280
the bar a little bit I think we need to

2361
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:06,440
have a high bars like we really need to

2362
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:09,199
have a goal that especially with TK now

2363
01:39:06,440 --> 01:39:11,280
we've we've got that whole extra year of

2364
01:39:09,199 --> 01:39:13,119
uh being able to intersect kids that by

2365
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:15,119
the end of their third grade that we

2366
01:39:13,119 --> 01:39:16,560
need uh those those students to be

2367
01:39:15,119 --> 01:39:20,360
English proficient that really needs to

2368
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:22,000
be a target for us um David Lee uh you

2369
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,800
asked a good question about the state

2370
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:26,400
level data and sort of how our data

2371
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:28,560
Compares against that um fuss around on

2372
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:31,480
my laptop here there's the open website

2373
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:33,840
at CA schoolboard.org uh that includes

2374
01:39:31,480 --> 01:39:35,480
the state level data um it's interesting

2375
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:38,239
to see looking back the last couple

2376
01:39:35,480 --> 01:39:40,920
years that uh English proficiency across

2377
01:39:38,239 --> 01:39:44,080
the state um is is a hair below standard

2378
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:47,239
but relatively static uh holding just a

2379
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:49,679
little bit below standard um whereas

2380
01:39:47,239 --> 01:39:51,920
we're seeing in our priority schools a a

2381
01:39:49,679 --> 01:39:53,760
continued Decline and increasing

2382
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:55,840
separation from the standard so there's

2383
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:57,960
a deceleration that we're seeing in the

2384
01:39:55,840 --> 01:40:00,080
priority schools in Redwood City that we

2385
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:02,440
are not seeing more broadly reflected

2386
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:05,480
across the state um that deceleration is

2387
01:40:02,440 --> 01:40:07,199
also evident in math now the math bar

2388
01:40:05,480 --> 01:40:08,880
for the State of California is

2389
01:40:07,199 --> 01:40:10,960
significantly below standard for the

2390
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:14,360
whole for the whole state but does not

2391
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:15,800
seem to be experiencing a a deceleration

2392
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:17,400
to the same degree that we're seeing in

2393
01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:18,639
our priority schools so there's

2394
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:22,400
something that's going on here in the

2395
01:40:18,639 --> 01:40:24,239
district in terms of um the level of

2396
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:26,880
academic attainment in in English and

2397
01:40:24,239 --> 01:40:28,679
math um that is is going beyond what

2398
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:30,159
we're seeing in the in the state and

2399
01:40:28,679 --> 01:40:31,880
it's frustrating because it feels like

2400
01:40:30,159 --> 01:40:33,800
we're doing a lot of the right things we

2401
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:35,639
had a very thoughtful curriculum search

2402
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:37,080
for illustrative math you know talking

2403
01:40:35,639 --> 01:40:39,360
with teachers talking with the teachers

2404
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:42,239
union like we got like really Positive

2405
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:43,880
Vibes out of that we know that um

2406
01:40:42,239 --> 01:40:47,280
professional development is really the

2407
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:49,040
way forward to help teachers continue to

2408
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:50,599
master their profession and like we're

2409
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:52,599
it feels like we're doing a lot of the

2410
01:40:50,599 --> 01:40:54,159
right things but it's not showing up in

2411
01:40:52,599 --> 01:40:56,599
in the data and falling further and

2412
01:40:54,159 --> 01:41:00,000
further behind um so it's it's kind of

2413
01:40:56,599 --> 01:41:02,239
frustrating I I I I don't have any sort

2414
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:03,679
of magic advice for for how we can get

2415
01:41:02,239 --> 01:41:05,639
better but just I think we need to start

2416
01:41:03,679 --> 01:41:07,360
with an acknowledgement that we are well

2417
01:41:05,639 --> 01:41:09,480
behind especially for our priority

2418
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:10,880
schools if we were to group those and

2419
01:41:09,480 --> 01:41:12,440
that might be an interesting request for

2420
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:14,480
like the Futures to go and like group

2421
01:41:12,440 --> 01:41:16,520
the priority School data and we're

2422
01:41:14,480 --> 01:41:18,119
falling further and further behind the

2423
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:19,880
the State Bar and we need to figure out

2424
01:41:18,119 --> 01:41:22,000
how we're going to course correct to to

2425
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:24,560
close that Gap so I just want to

2426
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:26,520
reiterate we did this is our second year

2427
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:28,440
in our new curriculum so it does take 3

2428
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:31,440
to 5 years so I just want to say we're

2429
01:41:28,440 --> 01:41:34,040
not there yet put that yet on there

2430
01:41:31,440 --> 01:41:36,080
because it does take time and I do think

2431
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:38,960
walking around our classrooms and we're

2432
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:41,639
visiting and seeing math in action yeah

2433
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:44,560
it's been very inspiring this year to

2434
01:41:41,639 --> 01:41:47,000
see how many of our kids are really

2435
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:49,760
rising to the challenge of the math and

2436
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:52,119
all in all priority schools and the

2437
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:53,920
consistency of the curriculum I think is

2438
01:41:52,119 --> 01:41:56,520
very important now that we have very

2439
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:59,080
because in the past we did we didn't

2440
01:41:56,520 --> 01:42:00,400
have a consistent curriculum and there

2441
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:02,119
were some curriculum was working really

2442
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:04,239
well but we just weren't consistent and

2443
01:42:02,119 --> 01:42:06,520
now that we have consistency I think

2444
01:42:04,239 --> 01:42:08,400
it'll get us it'll get we'll get there

2445
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:10,920
David I promise it's just going to take

2446
01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:12,920
some time as teachers are honing in on

2447
01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:15,080
their skills it is a different way of

2448
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:17,679
teaching math than our own teachers ever

2449
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:20,080
learned or you know learn themselves so

2450
01:42:17,679 --> 01:42:21,760
they have to also learn the skills of

2451
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:24,239
open-ended questions and guiding

2452
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:26,320
questions versus giving the students the

2453
01:42:24,239 --> 01:42:27,679
algorithm it's really hard when you know

2454
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:29,760
the algorithm and you just want to give

2455
01:42:27,679 --> 01:42:31,599
it to them right and but there's a

2456
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:33,280
process to the inquiry of the math and

2457
01:42:31,599 --> 01:42:35,960
that takes it's it takes a while for a

2458
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:37,599
teacher to adapt to that but what we

2459
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:40,719
have been seeing in the classrooms is

2460
01:42:37,599 --> 01:42:42,840
they are doing the curriculum um much

2461
01:42:40,719 --> 01:42:44,040
more than they were last year because

2462
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:45,880
last year was a first year and there was

2463
01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:48,719
a lot of new changes but

2464
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:50,080
definitely I am H been happy to see in

2465
01:42:48,719 --> 01:42:51,880
all our priority schools that we're

2466
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:54,159
visiting that the curriculum is being

2467
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:56,080
done to see the level that the students

2468
01:42:54,159 --> 01:42:57,239
are really answering those questions

2469
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:58,679
there's still going to be struggles

2470
01:42:57,239 --> 01:43:00,080
again because if they're not accessing

2471
01:42:58,679 --> 01:43:01,480
the reading but really trying to figure

2472
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:03,520
out what are the tools that we can

2473
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:05,280
provide for them so that if they can't

2474
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:07,320
read it how do we access the reading for

2475
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:09,239
them because it really is about do they

2476
01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:11,440
understand the concept can they explain

2477
01:43:09,239 --> 01:43:13,360
their thinking so really getting there

2478
01:43:11,440 --> 01:43:15,280
and I do believe we'll get there and I

2479
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:17,320
think this year we we should be getting

2480
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:19,599
stronger at that it's our first you know

2481
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:22,040
full full full year of that

2482
01:43:19,599 --> 01:43:24,280
implementation um so we can only be

2483
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:26,760
hopeful that if we will make the that

2484
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:28,599
it'll move the needle I've heard nothing

2485
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:30,800
but good things about the the curriculum

2486
01:43:28,599 --> 01:43:32,400
selection so yeah I'll just one more

2487
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,639
question I think this just want to make

2488
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:35,360
sure I'm understanding correctly the

2489
01:43:33,639 --> 01:43:36,360
data that we're looking at is we are

2490
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,440
currently in the second year and

2491
01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:39,599
therefore the data that we're looking at

2492
01:43:37,440 --> 01:43:42,080
was the first year cor correct correct

2493
01:43:39,599 --> 01:43:43,800
correct so hopefully when we move

2494
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:45,599
forward and we see next year we'll see

2495
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:48,480
this progress the thing that really

2496
01:43:45,599 --> 01:43:51,520
concerns me most is that um and yes

2497
01:43:48,480 --> 01:43:53,440
David it is the state says seven years

2498
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:55,119
but if we get a child who's in the third

2499
01:43:53,440 --> 01:43:57,599
grade and the child is not speaking

2500
01:43:55,119 --> 01:44:00,800
English there's a lot of catch up to do

2501
01:43:57,599 --> 01:44:02,639
a lot a lot and as Anna pointed out if

2502
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:04,440
you don't have act it's in English and

2503
01:44:02,639 --> 01:44:08,159
you're read and it's it's a lot of

2504
01:44:04,440 --> 01:44:10,360
reading to do and and if you are not

2505
01:44:08,159 --> 01:44:12,840
proficient you're gonna bomb out on that

2506
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:14,480
test it it's ridiculous that they still

2507
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:16,520
have to take that same test and our

2508
01:44:14,480 --> 01:44:18,199
English Learners newcomers have to take

2509
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:20,599
the test in Spanish they don't have to

2510
01:44:18,199 --> 01:44:22,239
do the ELA test for one year they're

2511
01:44:20,599 --> 01:44:23,800
exempt for one year but they have to

2512
01:44:22,239 --> 01:44:26,320
take the Spanish

2513
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:28,280
I mean the the math test regardless the

2514
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:31,199
regardless they have to take

2515
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:33,040
it so I I think as we move forward and

2516
01:44:31,199 --> 01:44:34,440
as what you see when you visit

2517
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:35,679
classrooms you see the type of

2518
01:44:34,440 --> 01:44:37,400
instruction that is happening in the

2519
01:44:35,679 --> 01:44:40,280
classroom you will see it's a different

2520
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:42,280
way of how teachers are teaching math

2521
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:43,560
the the reading is really coming along

2522
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:46,159
especially with the different types of

2523
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:50,560
materials that we've um Acquired and

2524
01:44:46,159 --> 01:44:52,840
we've been trained on with with um not

2525
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:55,599
only the California L project but also

2526
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:58,119
with integrity and moving that forward

2527
01:44:55,599 --> 01:44:59,920
so it it's it's definitely moving in the

2528
01:44:58,119 --> 01:45:02,440
direction we want it's not moving as

2529
01:44:59,920 --> 01:45:04,520
fast as we would like I think one thing

2530
01:45:02,440 --> 01:45:07,239
that has been really good at the

2531
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:10,199
priority schools is the amount of

2532
01:45:07,239 --> 01:45:12,520
support this year we have put in we put

2533
01:45:10,199 --> 01:45:15,440
in extra support at those School sites

2534
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:18,119
to especially work in the area with

2535
01:45:15,440 --> 01:45:19,920
those students who need that extra nudge

2536
01:45:18,119 --> 01:45:22,400
to get them where they need to be and

2537
01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:25,560
then also um meeting with their parents

2538
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:28,440
on even though they cannot re they don't

2539
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:29,719
speak English at this point in time but

2540
01:45:28,440 --> 01:45:32,480
there are things that they can do at

2541
01:45:29,719 --> 01:45:34,360
home to make sure that what they're what

2542
01:45:32,480 --> 01:45:38,080
we're asking the child to do that they

2543
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:39,520
can just um follow up on so hopefully

2544
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:41,199
that's another piece that would be more

2545
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:43,360
supportive

2546
01:45:41,199 --> 01:45:45,159
too I think it's just a little bit

2547
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:46,560
frustrating for everyone that the date

2548
01:45:45,159 --> 01:45:47,840
always comes in a year after right

2549
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:50,320
because

2550
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:53,400
then wasn't it supposed to start like

2551
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:54,800
you were supposed to get it back

2552
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:56,159
actually got a little bit early next

2553
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:57,400
year we're supposed to get it so if we

2554
01:45:56,159 --> 01:45:59,440
got it earlier this year next year is

2555
01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:00,639
supposed to be earlier eventually in two

2556
01:45:59,440 --> 01:46:03,040
years are supposed to start getting in

2557
01:46:00,639 --> 01:46:05,119
October we get the results right away

2558
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:06,679
now I mean we leave the just we leave

2559
01:46:05,119 --> 01:46:09,520
this school year and we have the

2560
01:46:06,679 --> 01:46:11,159
majority of the results um but it does

2561
01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:12,599
take them long to process the whole

2562
01:46:11,159 --> 01:46:14,800
dashboard and you did present the

2563
01:46:12,599 --> 01:46:17,440
results to us in September our September

2564
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:19,599
25th meeting we saw the math and Ela

2565
01:46:17,440 --> 01:46:21,159
results from last year at that meeting

2566
01:46:19,599 --> 01:46:23,199
this is just now the dashboard this is

2567
01:46:21,159 --> 01:46:25,760
the dashboard data correct yeah I think

2568
01:46:23,199 --> 01:46:27,960
to the point of um I am certainly eager

2569
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:29,679
to see how things play out in the second

2570
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:31,480
year and forward um but it was also

2571
01:46:29,679 --> 01:46:33,040
great to hear that a lot of the work is

2572
01:46:31,480 --> 01:46:34,480
also going to incorporating some of the

2573
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:36,360
into the interm assessments a lot of the

2574
01:46:34,480 --> 01:46:37,520
same sort of stuff so hopefully you know

2575
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:39,199
we can get a little bit more real- time

2576
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:40,599
data on like how we're getting there but

2577
01:46:39,199 --> 01:46:43,599
sounds like you know you guys are way

2578
01:46:40,599 --> 01:46:47,119
ahead of me so thank

2579
01:46:43,599 --> 01:46:48,199
you yeah um and you know also I'll point

2580
01:46:47,119 --> 01:46:50,920
out that we did hear this at the

2581
01:46:48,199 --> 01:46:53,719
September 25th one and at the time um

2582
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:55,400
you know you you spoke a lot about the

2583
01:46:53,719 --> 01:46:58,639
all the things that were changing this

2584
01:46:55,400 --> 01:47:00,280
year for um to be able to help it most

2585
01:46:58,639 --> 01:47:02,480
notably uh and I just want to

2586
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:04,080
acknowledge the amount of time that you

2587
01:47:02,480 --> 01:47:06,840
and your cabinet got to put on your

2588
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:09,719
inner principal and go back and um help

2589
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:11,760
go visit the schools and see you know

2590
01:47:09,719 --> 01:47:13,480
how to what kind of support they need

2591
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:16,400
and what what where you can help and how

2592
01:47:13,480 --> 01:47:18,119
to get it in there and from listening to

2593
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,480
the Roosevelt report last year it sounds

2594
01:47:18,119 --> 01:47:21,679
like that's been making a tremendous

2595
01:47:19,480 --> 01:47:23,679
difference um Tina had told us that you

2596
01:47:21,679 --> 01:47:25,480
know in her data that she seeing now

2597
01:47:23,679 --> 01:47:28,560
they are seeing movement uh in the

2598
01:47:25,480 --> 01:47:31,400
direction that they want to go um and so

2599
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:32,880
I think that's that's really positive um

2600
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,840
one thing I wanted to ask is was

2601
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:36,480
language language power new this year or

2602
01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:38,400
did we start that last year I know TCM

2603
01:47:36,480 --> 01:47:40,960
coaching the coaching is new this year

2604
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:42,560
right yeah language power we adopted it

2605
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:44,760
I mean we started it last year we had a

2606
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:46,719
slower roll out um because we had to

2607
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:49,599
purchase all the items it's a very

2608
01:47:46,719 --> 01:47:52,840
different type of curriculum where it's

2609
01:47:49,599 --> 01:47:55,760
leveled so we have three levels in K K3

2610
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:58,199
three K2 three levels in 35 and three

2611
01:47:55,760 --> 01:48:00,360
levels in 68 so it's really about where

2612
01:47:58,199 --> 01:48:02,440
are the kids if they're on their lpac

2613
01:48:00,360 --> 01:48:04,159
score um if there are ones they you're

2614
01:48:02,440 --> 01:48:05,960
going to get level a if there are two

2615
01:48:04,159 --> 01:48:08,199
you get level two so it's about how you

2616
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:11,239
regroup and so one of the things that

2617
01:48:08,199 --> 01:48:12,920
the challenges last year was you have

2618
01:48:11,239 --> 01:48:14,960
kids who are moving or you know they're

2619
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:16,599
not stagnant right that you have moving

2620
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:18,320
so you're trying to see on their LP

2621
01:48:16,599 --> 01:48:20,239
level where do they need to go which

2622
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:22,880
unit where do we start them if they're a

2623
01:48:20,239 --> 01:48:24,320
one a high one we want them in the two

2624
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:25,719
right so we don't want them just in the

2625
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:28,719
level one so it's looking at that we

2626
01:48:25,719 --> 01:48:30,320
were learning how that curriculum works

2627
01:48:28,719 --> 01:48:31,639
so there was there was a lot of work on

2628
01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:33,639
that we're still this year we've

2629
01:48:31,639 --> 01:48:35,480
fine-tuned it a lot better we still have

2630
01:48:33,639 --> 01:48:37,800
a lot to do to refine so that we start

2631
01:48:35,480 --> 01:48:39,560
the year with the program because it

2632
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:41,560
does take time to look at their levels

2633
01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:43,719
and figure out the right kits in which

2634
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:46,480
group and who they do regrouping in in

2635
01:48:43,719 --> 01:48:48,040
the schools and so making sure that all

2636
01:48:46,480 --> 01:48:50,119
of that before we leave our goal this

2637
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:51,520
year is that by the end of the year

2638
01:48:50,119 --> 01:48:54,000
principes leave they'll have their

2639
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:55,760
groupings they'll know and so that we

2640
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:58,440
start the year right away with the right

2641
01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:59,880
kits because we've had movement of kits

2642
01:48:58,440 --> 01:49:01,199
and so because of the movement of kits

2643
01:48:59,880 --> 01:49:03,159
you start with one then you move to

2644
01:49:01,199 --> 01:49:05,480
another because you may whatever was

2645
01:49:03,159 --> 01:49:08,560
identified so but this is our first full

2646
01:49:05,480 --> 01:49:10,400
year again some still schools last year

2647
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:12,520
got their curriculum sort of like

2648
01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:14,199
January because they were ordering the

2649
01:49:12,520 --> 01:49:16,000
wrong they had got the wrong kits and so

2650
01:49:14,199 --> 01:49:18,400
we were waiting but this is the first

2651
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:19,679
full year with that yeah and the other

2652
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:21,760
thing is the the regrouping the

2653
01:49:19,679 --> 01:49:24,520
regrouping that's occurring now which

2654
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:26,320
didn't uh didn't happen before which is

2655
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:27,679
really good where you have a grade level

2656
01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:30,199
say there's three teachers at a grade

2657
01:49:27,679 --> 01:49:32,040
level and they're each taking X level

2658
01:49:30,199 --> 01:49:34,159
yeah or making sure they don't have

2659
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:36,880
multiple levels in their classroom and

2660
01:49:34,159 --> 01:49:39,239
then cycle through those groups and do

2661
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:42,599
do an analysis of the data after they've

2662
01:49:39,239 --> 01:49:44,480
given a test and then regroup again so

2663
01:49:42,599 --> 01:49:47,119
that's something that is also that's

2664
01:49:44,480 --> 01:49:50,040
very positive as and I think we started

2665
01:49:47,119 --> 01:49:52,119
a lot of that Dr Baker last year of

2666
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:53,440
making sure in their schedules it was

2667
01:49:52,119 --> 01:49:55,239
getting done

2668
01:49:53,440 --> 01:49:57,599
so one of the things the states is we

2669
01:49:55,239 --> 01:50:00,920
need to make sure if they're identified

2670
01:49:57,599 --> 01:50:03,320
as English they must have ELD and so our

2671
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:05,159
doc um Katherine has been super Miss

2672
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:06,760
rera has been super about visiting

2673
01:50:05,159 --> 01:50:08,760
classrooms is it happening when you say

2674
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:10,560
it's happening what do we need to do and

2675
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:12,880
so we're continuing that even through

2676
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:15,400
our educational rounds as well so we're

2677
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:16,880
really seeing the consistency this year

2678
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:19,480
we started last year but really being

2679
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:21,320
looking at it now because it those kids

2680
01:50:19,480 --> 01:50:22,760
deserve what they need to have and they

2681
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:24,280
need those support so we're really

2682
01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:26,159
making sure that that's happening this

2683
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:27,520
year so when you visit schools ask for

2684
01:50:26,159 --> 01:50:29,840
the schedule ask for their schedules

2685
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:32,320
that they've have these schedules are

2686
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:34,599
relatively new we we have asked them to

2687
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:37,239
put schedules together and let review

2688
01:50:34,599 --> 01:50:40,080
the schedules with us we sometimes make

2689
01:50:37,239 --> 01:50:41,719
changes which are not um appreciated

2690
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:44,000
let's put it that way but we want them

2691
01:50:41,719 --> 01:50:47,719
to go in that direction and we always

2692
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:49,239
explain why we want that and uh

2693
01:50:47,719 --> 01:50:51,280
sometimes they're not received well but

2694
01:50:49,239 --> 01:50:53,719
but they move forward with it and I said

2695
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:56,840
let's try it let's work with that and so

2696
01:50:53,719 --> 01:50:58,560
we've been quite promised and successful

2697
01:50:56,840 --> 01:51:00,480
with it and then the professional

2698
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:02,280
Learning Community sound like they're

2699
01:51:00,480 --> 01:51:04,119
you know great support to be able to get

2700
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:05,560
everything aligned across grade levels

2701
01:51:04,119 --> 01:51:07,119
um one of the things I think you'd

2702
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:09,199
mentioned in September was trying to

2703
01:51:07,119 --> 01:51:10,800
align the formative tests with when they

2704
01:51:09,199 --> 01:51:12,599
meet so that they'd have that

2705
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:14,040
information did that happen has that

2706
01:51:12,599 --> 01:51:17,280
been effective I mean I don't know if

2707
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:19,199
you know yet but so in um we did when in

2708
01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:21,199
math we haven't quite in math where

2709
01:51:19,199 --> 01:51:23,320
we're sort of doing our because this is

2710
01:51:21,199 --> 01:51:25,760
our first full I mean our second year in

2711
01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:27,719
it but one of the things that we've

2712
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:29,880
developed I wouldn't say I develop our

2713
01:51:27,719 --> 01:51:32,639
math coach developed was making sure we

2714
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:35,159
had certain um right before report card

2715
01:51:32,639 --> 01:51:36,840
a certain assessment this year and

2716
01:51:35,159 --> 01:51:38,520
certain and some so we're actually

2717
01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:40,079
looking at the data like who did the

2718
01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:41,920
assessments reminding principles hey we

2719
01:51:40,079 --> 01:51:43,360
need you to insert there but we want to

2720
01:51:41,920 --> 01:51:45,920
see how kids are

2721
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:47,679
doing um so that we can then start

2722
01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:50,040
tracking that looking that information

2723
01:51:47,679 --> 01:51:51,719
how are we doing on this chapter so

2724
01:51:50,040 --> 01:51:55,880
really and our goal next year is that

2725
01:51:51,719 --> 01:51:57,440
they will be doing the every so often um

2726
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:59,520
because the teachers are still learning

2727
01:51:57,440 --> 01:52:01,360
there is a lot of checkpoints in between

2728
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:03,920
the math curriculum so they're really

2729
01:52:01,360 --> 01:52:06,679
doing that we have it for the hegr for

2730
01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:09,920
bpst we have that down everybody does

2731
01:52:06,679 --> 01:52:11,599
that recording um and that data analysis

2732
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:14,199
it's just the math that we're trying to

2733
01:52:11,599 --> 01:52:15,920
get into play and so again because we're

2734
01:52:14,199 --> 01:52:17,960
trying to get the cohesion and because

2735
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:19,960
for the PLC in order for have a PLC you

2736
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:21,679
all have to have a common assessment

2737
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:23,679
you're looking at and so we're really

2738
01:52:21,679 --> 01:52:25,400
trying to get that rolling out better

2739
01:52:23,679 --> 01:52:27,520
this year and so we have our middle

2740
01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:29,000
schools have are looking at common

2741
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:30,560
planning time as well and what do we

2742
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:32,520
need to do for them so that they can

2743
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:34,280
have these assessments um that they're

2744
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:35,639
looking at so everybody's working on

2745
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:38,880
it's just going to take time so that

2746
01:52:35,639 --> 01:52:41,360
next year we are we have it all in place

2747
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:43,000
great thanks um and thank you uh Jenny

2748
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:45,360
and everyone who worked on putting

2749
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:47,960
together this report um and you know

2750
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:49,639
getting it ready for the dashboard um I

2751
01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:50,840
also want to celebrate the progress that

2752
01:52:49,639 --> 01:52:52,840
we saw right I think people had

2753
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:55,040
mentioned it but a great great progress

2754
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:57,000
on chronic absenteeism the suspension

2755
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:58,960
rates and the emerging bilingual

2756
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:00,599
progress um so that's awesome we don't

2757
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:02,040
want to forget about that we talked

2758
01:53:00,599 --> 01:53:03,760
about math and we hadn't I don't think

2759
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:07,079
we'd seen that data from last year yet

2760
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:09,320
so that was uh that was good to see um

2761
01:53:07,079 --> 01:53:11,440
and it was good to hear the updates um

2762
01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:13,000
on all of the efforts that you'd started

2763
01:53:11,440 --> 01:53:15,079
this year and how that's progressed

2764
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:19,000
since uh we last heard about it in

2765
01:53:15,079 --> 01:53:22,760
September um anything else dad

2766
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:24,639
moment all right I say we move on to a

2767
01:53:22,760 --> 01:53:28,679
discussion item

2768
01:53:24,639 --> 01:53:29,880
on uh this is yes assignments for uh

2769
01:53:28,679 --> 01:53:31,239
School assignments and committee

2770
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:33,480
assignments for the board members for

2771
01:53:31,239 --> 01:53:37,520
the remainder of the school year so you

2772
01:53:33,480 --> 01:53:41,239
have in front of you uh a draft and what

2773
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:44,119
you see marked through are the school

2774
01:53:41,239 --> 01:53:46,440
assignments here that uh Janet was

2775
01:53:44,119 --> 01:53:49,920
assigned to and the school assignments

2776
01:53:46,440 --> 01:53:51,679
assignments that Alisa was assigned to

2777
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:56,079
my recommendation is just to move

2778
01:53:51,679 --> 01:53:58,880
forward with with those so um for

2779
01:53:56,079 --> 01:54:01,239
Janet's assignments that David take

2780
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:05,360
those on for the remainder of this

2781
01:54:01,239 --> 01:54:09,480
school year and huh David Lee that's

2782
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:12,199
right David L David Lee David L um and

2783
01:54:09,480 --> 01:54:14,639
that Jennifer uh take on the assignments

2784
01:54:12,199 --> 01:54:17,040
that Alisa had and then we can talk

2785
01:54:14,639 --> 01:54:20,360
about those assignments on our 101

2786
01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:23,880
meetings when we meet together okay is

2787
01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:27,239
that all right with you

2788
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:28,800
perfect the next one is a dis definitely

2789
01:54:27,239 --> 01:54:32,320
a discussion these are the

2790
01:54:28,800 --> 01:54:36,679
superintendent committee assignments and

2791
01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:38,079
where uh we need representation is on

2792
01:54:36,679 --> 01:54:41,159
the policy

2793
01:54:38,079 --> 01:54:43,840
committee on the audit

2794
01:54:41,159 --> 01:54:46,119
committee you will see the citizens Bond

2795
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:49,840
oversight measure T

2796
01:54:46,119 --> 01:54:52,400
committee the bond construction

2797
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:55,840
committee uh superintendent's advisory

2798
01:54:52,400 --> 01:54:59,679
committee and then Workforce housing

2799
01:54:55,840 --> 01:55:02,920
committee so those committees that are

2800
01:54:59,679 --> 01:55:05,480
the superintendent committee are up for

2801
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:07,800
you know our new board members and for

2802
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:12,000
any of our veteran board members that

2803
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:15,719
would like to participate so this is a

2804
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:18,199
time to ask questions

2805
01:55:15,719 --> 01:55:20,960
um let me know I think sometimes we also

2806
01:55:18,199 --> 01:55:23,440
allow shifts and trades if people want

2807
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:24,800
do that as well too yeah just yeah

2808
01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:27,599
pointing that out if there's something

2809
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:29,239
that just uh point of order the citizen

2810
01:55:27,599 --> 01:55:32,760
Bond oversight is now measure s

2811
01:55:29,239 --> 01:55:35,119
committee right um for on S and not t oh

2812
01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:40,880
yes that is s c

2813
01:55:35,119 --> 01:55:44,159
t wait wait is still there's still some

2814
01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:45,599
it's a combined committee so maybe we&

2815
01:55:44,159 --> 01:55:49,520
all right yeah that's right I forgot

2816
01:55:45,599 --> 01:55:49,520
about the little solar

2817
01:55:51,239 --> 01:55:56,159
piece would it be helpful maybe for the

2818
01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:58,440
new board members um to know like for

2819
01:55:56,159 --> 01:56:00,719
example one of the things is like I

2820
01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:02,520
usually join the Committees that are

2821
01:56:00,719 --> 01:56:04,639
later in the afternoon rather than

2822
01:56:02,520 --> 01:56:06,599
during the day right so I don't know

2823
01:56:04,639 --> 01:56:10,520
that would be helpful for them to know

2824
01:56:06,599 --> 01:56:13,520
like when this committee how of they me

2825
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:16,040
or so the policy committee Wendy would

2826
01:56:13,520 --> 01:56:20,480
you like to take that on when you meet

2827
01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:22,800
and um definitely so uh this committee

2828
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:25,320
reviews board policies and

2829
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:27,480
um in advance so I I would send them out

2830
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:30,520
a week in advance to review we look at

2831
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:32,040
about 10 at each time the meetings um

2832
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:33,480
have been about an hour but we might

2833
01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:36,560
schedule them an hour and a half just to

2834
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:39,320
start off until we get our um our groove

2835
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:41,760
back here and I'm very flexible on when

2836
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:45,280
we schedule it so it's just we calendar

2837
01:56:41,760 --> 01:56:47,360
it we strive for once a month um we've

2838
01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:49,560
gone every six weeks and we don't meet

2839
01:56:47,360 --> 01:56:51,000
over the summer but in general that has

2840
01:56:49,560 --> 01:56:52,880
been our time frame that we have

2841
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:55,520
historically been using

2842
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:59,360
uh with the goal of bringing about 7 to

2843
01:56:55,520 --> 01:57:02,480
10 board policies to most uh board

2844
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:02,480
meetings throughout the

2845
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:06,480
year

2846
01:57:08,119 --> 01:57:15,320
questions Aid no questions I'm I'm

2847
01:57:12,119 --> 01:57:15,320
interested okay

2848
01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:19,719
perfect Ian I'll jump in and say that um

2849
01:57:18,639 --> 01:57:21,599
you know I'd like to stay on the two

2850
01:57:19,719 --> 01:57:24,040
Bond committees um the construction

2851
01:57:21,599 --> 01:57:26,239
committee and then the oversight one uh

2852
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:30,560
and I'd like to join the workforce

2853
01:57:26,239 --> 01:57:32,239
housing committee um and I think is I

2854
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:34,800
don't remember do we usually put the

2855
01:57:32,239 --> 01:57:37,960
board president on the 2 by two by two

2856
01:57:34,800 --> 01:57:41,360
um yes it would be to one's advantage to

2857
01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:45,920
do that yeah um so anyways I I can I can

2858
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:48,920
for the right I was I'm okay perfect

2859
01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:50,719
great I wasn't down there yet oh that's

2860
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:52,840
sorry you're superintendent one yeah

2861
01:57:50,719 --> 01:57:55,000
okay so wait pass on that one

2862
01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:59,360
I know take it away let's say at the top

2863
01:57:55,000 --> 01:58:00,880
part of the boxes um so uh anyone else

2864
01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:02,639

completeness also um this is g to be the

2872
01:58:19,960 --> 01:58:23,800
wrong time to litigate but I'm realizing

2873
01:58:21,400 --> 01:58:27,119
that there's probably uh it would be

2874
01:58:23,800 --> 01:58:29,159
good for us to have a Comm somebody on a

2875
01:58:27,119 --> 01:58:31,000

02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:06,360
the collaborative that we're part of

3078
02:08:04,079 --> 02:08:09,920
with them and and the collaborative

3079
02:08:06,360 --> 02:08:12,880
meets we meet several times a year and

3080
02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:16,400
then um all the other pieces with this

3081
02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:19,599
group are the relationships that we have

3082
02:08:16,400 --> 02:08:22,239
with Stanford um one being mental health

3083
02:08:19,599 --> 02:08:24,920
the other one being

3084
02:08:22,239 --> 02:08:26,920
um Community Schools and the other one

02:08:49,239 --> 02:08:52,520
virtual and I'll point out that

3094
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:55,599
historically you only had one person on

3095
02:08:52,520 --> 02:08:57,599
it um Janet when Janet got was worried

3096
02:08:55,599 --> 02:08:59,239
that she wasn't going to be able to go

3097
02:08:57,599 --> 02:09:02,079

31st of our current fiscal year uh This

3162
02:11:54,239 --> 02:11:58,840
falls in line with the annual budget

3163
02:11:56,320 --> 02:12:01,199
cycle that you see up on the screen uh

3164
02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:03,599
highlighted uh at step number four is

3165
02:12:01,199 --> 02:12:06,920
the first interim report our annual

3166
02:12:03,599 --> 02:12:09,639
budet cycle starts uh at step one with

3167
02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:12,199
the budget and lcap adoption which

3168
02:12:09,639 --> 02:12:14,280
includes a public Hearing in June uh

3169
02:12:12,199 --> 02:12:17,079
going through un audited actuals uh till

3170
02:12:14,280 --> 02:12:18,800
we get till tonight starting in January

3171
02:12:17,079 --> 02:12:21,159
we'll expect the governor's proposed

3172
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:24,280
budget uh then going into the second

3173
02:12:21,159 --> 02:12:27,639
interim report in March uh that covers

3174
02:12:24,280 --> 02:12:30,079
expenditures between July 1 and January

3175
02:12:27,639 --> 02:12:32,040
31st excuse me and then we start budget

3176
02:12:30,079 --> 02:12:35,440
development again to start the cycle

3177
02:12:32,040 --> 02:12:38,280
over uh once again in June uh with the

3178
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:41,559
same cycle going forward with the public

3179
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:44,440
hearings uh and the annual

3180
02:12:41,559 --> 02:12:46,119
adoption overview of uh the first inum

3181
02:12:44,440 --> 02:12:49,920
I'll go through this briefly Education

3182
02:12:46,119 --> 02:12:51,719
Code 42 130 requires that we have report

3183
02:12:49,920 --> 02:12:53,920
uh for the first inum that cover July 1

3184
02:12:51,719 --> 02:12:57,719
through October 31st as I said the

3185
02:12:53,920 --> 02:12:58,960
second inum report through January 31st

3186
02:12:57,719 --> 02:13:01,239
uh and then if we're in the position

3187
02:12:58,960 --> 02:13:03,320
where we self-certify as qualified or

3188
02:13:01,239 --> 02:13:07,159
negative at second interim we would then

3189
02:13:03,320 --> 02:13:09,840
be required to uh provide for approval a

3190
02:13:07,159 --> 02:13:12,639
third interim report uh that covers

3191
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:15,599
through April

3192
02:13:12,639 --> 02:13:18,119
30th uh each interim report uh not at

3193
02:13:15,599 --> 02:13:20,079
budget adoption uh we do

3194
02:13:18,119 --> 02:13:22,040
self-certify uh either positive

3195
02:13:20,079 --> 02:13:23,920
qualified or negative

3196
02:13:22,040 --> 02:13:25,559
positive means we can meet our financial

3197
02:13:23,920 --> 02:13:28,639
obligations in the current plus our two

3198
02:13:25,559 --> 02:13:31,280
out years qualified means we may not and

3199
02:13:28,639 --> 02:13:34,040
negative is saying that we will not

3200
02:13:31,280 --> 02:13:35,760
essentially for that uh so going to the

3201
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:37,880
end of the presentation right now so to

3202
02:13:35,760 --> 02:13:42,280
speak uh we are certifying our first

3203
02:13:37,880 --> 02:13:44,599
interim report for uh fiscal year 2425

3204
02:13:42,280 --> 02:13:44,599
as

3205
02:13:44,800 --> 02:13:50,520
positive so as we start this and we go

3206
02:13:47,800 --> 02:13:52,840
down this uh we build the budget we look

3207
02:13:50,520 --> 02:13:55,199
at first inum and second inum based on

3208
02:13:52,840 --> 02:13:57,880
assumptions of the current year uh and

3209
02:13:55,199 --> 02:13:59,639
the two out years on here are some of

3210
02:13:57,880 --> 02:14:02,079
the assumptions that we Ed in the

3211
02:13:59,639 --> 02:14:04,480
creation uh of the first inum I will

3212
02:14:02,079 --> 02:14:07,079
note that for 2425 any numbers that

3213
02:14:04,480 --> 02:14:08,880
could be updated at this point have been

3214
02:14:07,079 --> 02:14:11,280
and incorporated into the first interim

3215
02:14:08,880 --> 02:14:15,119
such as District enrollment uh that we

3216
02:14:11,280 --> 02:14:17,880
use our number based off of our uh data

3217
02:14:15,119 --> 02:14:20,760
day or referred to as ceds day as the

3218
02:14:17,880 --> 02:14:24,079
first wednes day in October uh as well

3219
02:14:20,760 --> 02:14:26,840
as our unduplicated pupil percentage um

3220
02:14:24,079 --> 02:14:29,880
our lcff uh funding Cola remain

3221
02:14:26,840 --> 02:14:32,960
unchanged from uh the assumptions that

3222
02:14:29,880 --> 02:14:35,320
were made uh in the fall uh our Cal

3223
02:14:32,960 --> 02:14:36,960
sters and calp employer contribution

3224
02:14:35,320 --> 02:14:40,360
rate to our Retirement

3225
02:14:36,960 --> 02:14:41,280
Systems uh The calsters Remains the Same

3226
02:14:40,360 --> 02:14:44,400
at

3227
02:14:41,280 --> 02:14:46,760
19.1% calers employee rate employer rate

3228
02:14:44,400 --> 02:14:49,079
was updated during this time step and

3229
02:14:46,760 --> 02:14:51,960
column is traditionally 1.5% which

3230
02:14:49,079 --> 02:14:54,719
covers movement on the salary schedules

3231
02:14:51,960 --> 02:14:58,079
uh and then as uh people retire or leave

3232
02:14:54,719 --> 02:15:00,079
the district uh new employees coming in

3233
02:14:58,079 --> 02:15:03,280
with a blended average of about

3234
02:15:00,079 --> 02:15:04,920
1.5% our property tax increase uh which

3235
02:15:03,280 --> 02:15:07,159
is notable to a district we are a

3236
02:15:04,920 --> 02:15:10,000
community funded District uh which is

3237
02:15:07,159 --> 02:15:12,199
different than an lcff or local control

3238
02:15:10,000 --> 02:15:15,239
funding formula District where our

3239
02:15:12,199 --> 02:15:17,440
property taxes exceed meet or exceed the

3240
02:15:15,239 --> 02:15:19,320
amount the state would have funded the

3241
02:15:17,440 --> 02:15:21,719
district on a per pupil basis so we

3242
02:15:19,320 --> 02:15:23,320
closely monitor this our first property

3243
02:15:21,719 --> 02:15:27,960
tax report of the

3244
02:15:23,320 --> 02:15:30,440
2425 fiscal year uh puts us at about

3245
02:15:27,960 --> 02:15:33,320
4.02% increase in property tax so we are

3246
02:15:30,440 --> 02:15:35,840
seeing a revenue increase not quite as

3247
02:15:33,320 --> 02:15:39,199
high as we uh made the Assumption at

3248
02:15:35,840 --> 02:15:40,960
budget adoption of 5% uh we are at this

3249
02:15:39,199 --> 02:15:44,559
point uh with the information we have

3250
02:15:40,960 --> 02:15:46,719
staying with 5% in our two out years uh

3251
02:15:44,559 --> 02:15:49,440
and now will be subject to change uh

3252
02:15:46,719 --> 02:15:52,440
likely will not increase uh but would go

3253
02:15:49,440 --> 02:15:54,239
down if we have uh better information

3254
02:15:52,440 --> 02:15:57,599
when the second inm or budget adoption

3255
02:15:54,239 --> 02:15:57,599
comes where we would update those

3256
02:15:58,360 --> 02:16:04,320
numbers now going into uh fund 01 which

3257
02:16:02,840 --> 02:16:05,800
is also known as our general fund this

3258
02:16:04,320 --> 02:16:07,800
is the bulk of our spending in the

3259
02:16:05,800 --> 02:16:10,719
school district uh these are the

3260
02:16:07,800 --> 02:16:13,559
revenues uh adopted budget uh or first

3261
02:16:10,719 --> 02:16:16,320
inum compared to adopted budget uh so

3262
02:16:13,559 --> 02:16:18,239
remember that uh the adopted budget uh

3263
02:16:16,320 --> 02:16:20,920
the public hearing is in early June the

3264
02:16:18,239 --> 02:16:22,599
adoption is in later June uh the Govern

3265
02:16:20,920 --> 02:16:24,360
govern's budget the trailer bills all

3266
02:16:22,599 --> 02:16:26,280
usually happen right around budget

3267
02:16:24,360 --> 02:16:27,880
adoption or a little bit later so we

3268
02:16:26,280 --> 02:16:30,559
don't always have all the information at

3269
02:16:27,880 --> 02:16:33,359
the time that we're asking our board to

3270
02:16:30,559 --> 02:16:36,280
approve the budget uh so with that we

3271
02:16:33,359 --> 02:16:38,319
make uh any noted changes uh additions

3272
02:16:36,280 --> 02:16:40,040
as well as closing of the previous

3273
02:16:38,319 --> 02:16:43,120
fiscal year through the UN audited

3274
02:16:40,040 --> 02:16:46,240
actuals process uh and then we take our

3275
02:16:43,120 --> 02:16:47,920
expenditures encumbrances to date uh and

3276
02:16:46,240 --> 02:16:49,719
add them into our first interim report

3277
02:16:47,920 --> 02:16:52,920
so when here on revenues you can see

3278
02:16:49,719 --> 02:16:57,399
it's a total we've gone up by about $4.2

3279
02:16:52,920 --> 02:16:59,800
million in revenue of note the majority

3280
02:16:57,399 --> 02:17:01,679
uh of that money is in the restricted

3281
02:16:59,800 --> 02:17:04,240
column right so it's not unrestricted

3282
02:17:01,679 --> 02:17:08,679
general fund dollars uh and you can see

3283
02:17:04,240 --> 02:17:11,840
that the almost 1% uh difference in our

3284
02:17:08,679 --> 02:17:14,280
property tax base lowered our lcff

3285
02:17:11,840 --> 02:17:17,000
sources of revenue by about

3286
02:17:14,280 --> 02:17:19,920
$650,000 right what's important about

3287
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:22,240
that as we look into our multi-year uh

3288
02:17:19,920 --> 02:17:25,559
right we base our multi-year projections

3289
02:17:22,240 --> 02:17:27,559
off of the current year so our 5% even

3290
02:17:25,559 --> 02:17:28,880
though we're going up in our out years

3291
02:17:27,559 --> 02:17:30,960
is going to be a little bit less than

3292
02:17:28,880 --> 02:17:32,760
each of those years uh because our

3293
02:17:30,960 --> 02:17:37,000
starting number is now

3294
02:17:32,760 --> 02:17:38,679
$650,000 less uh Federal revenues uh and

3295
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:41,639
local revenues Federal revenues increase

3296
02:17:38,679 --> 02:17:43,040
mainly because of title funds uh a

3297
02:17:41,639 --> 02:17:47,399
difference in title funds coming in this

3298
02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:49,599
year and local revenues were uh grants

3299
02:17:47,399 --> 02:17:52,519
uh that we've received as well as

3300
02:17:49,599 --> 02:17:54,280
carryover from the prior fiscal year uh

3301
02:17:52,519 --> 02:17:56,359
that makes up the difference of that $4

3302
02:17:54,280 --> 02:17:58,920
million to the

3303
02:17:56,359 --> 02:18:00,599
positive here's a breakdown of our

3304
02:17:58,920 --> 02:18:05,000
Revenue in fund

3305
02:18:00,599 --> 02:18:06,840
01 uh breaking out our lcff base uh our

3306
02:18:05,000 --> 02:18:09,840
EPA it's our education protection

3307
02:18:06,840 --> 02:18:11,280
account uh which is part of the lcff

3308
02:18:09,840 --> 02:18:14,920
formula funding

3309
02:18:11,280 --> 02:18:16,760
formula uh later on in the year at Bud

3310
02:18:14,920 --> 02:18:18,719
adoption you'll see where we've spent

3311
02:18:16,760 --> 02:18:21,000
our education protection account money

3312
02:18:18,719 --> 02:18:23,760
which is on teacher salaries right so

3313
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:25,359
that goes 100% to teacher salaries our

3314
02:18:23,760 --> 02:18:30,160
supplemental and concentration funds

3315
02:18:25,359 --> 02:18:33,040
that are uh I'll say uh gained or or

3316
02:18:30,160 --> 02:18:36,080
brought through the lcff base uh is

3317
02:18:33,040 --> 02:18:37,359
based on our unduplicated pupil count uh

3318
02:18:36,080 --> 02:18:40,840
that provides us supplemental and

3319
02:18:37,359 --> 02:18:42,240
concentration funds to assist uh the

3320
02:18:40,840 --> 02:18:45,160
students that are oftentimes highest in

3321
02:18:42,240 --> 02:18:47,399
need that meet our three subgroup

3322
02:18:45,160 --> 02:18:50,200
categories uh Federal revenues other

3323
02:18:47,399 --> 02:18:53,000
state revenues Lottery is about 1.6

3324
02:18:50,200 --> 02:18:55,280
million along with our major up parcel

3325
02:18:53,000 --> 02:18:58,760
taxes bringing about 1.6 million to our

3326
02:18:55,280 --> 02:19:02,120
school district uh and this year uh at

3327
02:18:58,760 --> 02:19:05,319
first intrum uh we are transferring in

3328
02:19:02,120 --> 02:19:08,280
8.72 five million from our fund 25 and

3329
02:19:05,319 --> 02:19:10,960
we'll talk about that uh in a couple of

3330
02:19:08,280 --> 02:19:13,719
slides so here's a a breakdown showing

3331
02:19:10,960 --> 02:19:18,439
that about 56% of our money uh comes

3332
02:19:13,719 --> 02:19:21,080
from our lcf base uh or about 63 or 64%

3333
02:19:18,439 --> 02:19:23,000
in total from lcff uh and then the

3334
02:19:21,080 --> 02:19:25,160
percentage breakdown of our other

3335
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:28,679
Revenue

3336
02:19:25,160 --> 02:19:29,960
sources going into expenditures uh you

3337
02:19:28,679 --> 02:19:33,280
know a big difference of about $8

3338
02:19:29,960 --> 02:19:36,200
million compared to uh our budget

3339
02:19:33,280 --> 02:19:39,040
adoption in June uh it was primarily in

3340
02:19:36,200 --> 02:19:41,200
two areas where those differences uh

3341
02:19:39,040 --> 02:19:44,160
came to fruition if you will uh the

3342
02:19:41,200 --> 02:19:47,000
first being the CSEA settlement uh that

3343
02:19:44,160 --> 02:19:49,840
was board approved in early August uh

3344
02:19:47,000 --> 02:19:54,399
that also included retro back to July 1

3345
02:19:49,840 --> 02:19:57,080
of 202 23 24 fiscal year uh so those uh

3346
02:19:54,399 --> 02:19:58,600
Associated increase in our classified

3347
02:19:57,080 --> 02:20:00,960
salaries and employee benefits are

3348
02:19:58,600 --> 02:20:03,120
captured in our first interim report and

3349
02:20:00,960 --> 02:20:05,560
then the other area with a significant

3350
02:20:03,120 --> 02:20:08,800
change was our services and operating

3351
02:20:05,560 --> 02:20:10,040
expenses uh of about $4.2 million which

3352
02:20:08,800 --> 02:20:13,720
was

3353
02:20:10,040 --> 02:20:18,319
predominantly um increases in uh

3354
02:20:13,720 --> 02:20:18,319
services for our special education

3355
02:20:19,319 --> 02:20:24,640
program so here's uh the breakdown of

3356
02:20:22,560 --> 02:20:27,040
our expenditures by

3357
02:20:24,640 --> 02:20:29,960
percentage uh showing that you know

3358
02:20:27,040 --> 02:20:32,200
nearly 80% of our expenditures are for

3359
02:20:29,960 --> 02:20:32,200
our

3360
02:20:33,880 --> 02:20:40,319
employees and another uh graphical

3361
02:20:36,399 --> 02:20:42,840
representation with uh I'll say a

3362
02:20:40,319 --> 02:20:44,280
snapshot of the types of positions or

3363
02:20:42,840 --> 02:20:45,680
the types of expenditures that we're

3364
02:20:44,280 --> 02:20:47,880
making in each

3365
02:20:45,680 --> 02:20:49,600
category uh and once again showing that

3366
02:20:47,880 --> 02:20:51,560
if we add employee benefits classified

3367
02:20:49,600 --> 02:20:54,359
salaries and certificates certificate

3368
02:20:51,560 --> 02:20:56,840
salaries together we're at around

3369
02:20:54,359 --> 02:20:58,600
78% uh generally speaking most school

3370
02:20:56,840 --> 02:21:00,439
districts in California are somewhere

3371
02:20:58,600 --> 02:21:04,080
between 77 and

3372
02:21:00,439 --> 02:21:06,479
81% uh at any given point uh based on

3373
02:21:04,080 --> 02:21:08,760
their current

3374
02:21:06,479 --> 02:21:10,399
expenditures uh here is a Sand Key chart

3375
02:21:08,760 --> 02:21:13,040
just showing the fun one snapshot these

3376
02:21:10,399 --> 02:21:16,319
are taken directly from our saxs forms

3377
02:21:13,040 --> 02:21:17,399
broken down as saxs breaks them down uh

3378
02:21:16,319 --> 02:21:19,399
there is another slide in here that

3379
02:21:17,399 --> 02:21:22,160
we'll talk about in a minute uh but this

3380
02:21:19,399 --> 02:21:23,520
shows the different Revenue sources

3381
02:21:22,160 --> 02:21:26,520
against all of the different

3382
02:21:23,520 --> 02:21:29,000
expenditures that we have to identify in

3383
02:21:26,520 --> 02:21:31,560
sacks as we prepare this for submission

3384
02:21:29,000 --> 02:21:33,319
to the county and the state so this

3385
02:21:31,560 --> 02:21:37,880
snapshot Legend is really for the next

3386
02:21:33,319 --> 02:21:41,359
slide uh that groups some of our uh

3387
02:21:37,880 --> 02:21:43,439
expenditures together uh into this slide

3388
02:21:41,359 --> 02:21:47,120
which shows our total expenditure budget

3389
02:21:43,439 --> 02:21:50,160
of 1514 million uh and then teacher

3390
02:21:47,120 --> 02:21:53,280
classroom support uh administrator and

3391
02:21:50,160 --> 02:21:55,600
super both certificated and classified

3392
02:21:53,280 --> 02:21:59,640
uh General classified support that is

3393
02:21:55,600 --> 02:22:01,560
outside of the classroom such as our M

3394
02:21:59,640 --> 02:22:03,880
Department custodial

3395
02:22:01,560 --> 02:22:06,280
technology uh our benefits books and

3396
02:22:03,880 --> 02:22:08,160
supplies and then the bottom two are our

3397
02:22:06,280 --> 02:22:08,960
contracted Services also referred to as

3398
02:22:08,160 --> 02:22:12,319
our

3399
02:22:08,960 --> 02:22:14,640
5000s uh and that's broken out between

3400
02:22:12,319 --> 02:22:17,880
uh contracted services for pupil support

3401
02:22:14,640 --> 02:22:19,520
so those are approximately 19.5 million

3402
02:22:17,880 --> 02:22:22,880
that are going to direct support of

3403
02:22:19,520 --> 02:22:25,880
students uh for programs and students's

3404
02:22:22,880 --> 02:22:29,920
programs and services uh and then about

3405
02:22:25,880 --> 02:22:32,280
9.91 million uh for our other uh

3406
02:22:29,920 --> 02:22:35,000
services that we have to pay for uh you

3407
02:22:32,280 --> 02:22:38,720
know water garbage electricity turning

3408
02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:41,720
on the lights uh that type of

3409
02:22:38,720 --> 02:22:44,240
thing so when we look at our uh ending

3410
02:22:41,720 --> 02:22:46,000
fund balance uh and the change really

3411
02:22:44,240 --> 02:22:49,160
from here is the decrease in our

3412
02:22:46,000 --> 02:22:52,640
transfer in from 9.7 to5 million at

3413
02:22:49,160 --> 02:22:54,319
budget adoption to 8 . 725 so we're able

3414
02:22:52,640 --> 02:22:56,160
to reduce that which we'll still be

3415
02:22:54,319 --> 02:22:58,359
working on reducing throughout this

3416
02:22:56,160 --> 02:23:00,200
fiscal year through second interim and

3417
02:22:58,359 --> 02:23:04,760
through budget adoption we expect that

3418
02:23:00,200 --> 02:23:06,359
to uh lower uh I'll say significantly at

3419
02:23:04,760 --> 02:23:08,960
this point and we'll know more at second

3420
02:23:06,359 --> 02:23:12,040
inm as we go through this uh and you can

3421
02:23:08,960 --> 02:23:14,680
see the decrease in ending fund

3422
02:23:12,040 --> 02:23:17,319
balance so when we get to multi-year

3423
02:23:14,680 --> 02:23:19,040
projections uh the district is required

3424
02:23:17,319 --> 02:23:21,399
to do current year plus our two out

3425
02:23:19,040 --> 02:23:23,439
years to show fiscal solvency

3426
02:23:21,399 --> 02:23:26,640
uh this first slide is our multi-year

3427
02:23:23,439 --> 02:23:30,000
projection at budget adoption right so

3428
02:23:26,640 --> 02:23:33,359
uh and this is a combined restricted and

3429
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:35,600
unrestricted the other uh attachment on

3430
02:23:33,359 --> 02:23:37,080
the board cover uh and that we've

3431
02:23:35,600 --> 02:23:38,600
discussed is where it breaks out

3432
02:23:37,080 --> 02:23:40,399
restricted and unrestricted but this is

3433
02:23:38,600 --> 02:23:42,840
a simpler version to have a discussion

3434
02:23:40,399 --> 02:23:45,160
about and to show just overall where

3435
02:23:42,840 --> 02:23:46,640
we're at of note on here and really the

3436
02:23:45,160 --> 02:23:49,040
only numbers that I'm going to point out

3437
02:23:46,640 --> 02:23:50,960
on this one at budget adoption is the

3438
02:23:49,040 --> 02:23:53,479
fiscal stabilization plan

3439
02:23:50,960 --> 02:23:57,200
uh that's highlighted in very light red

3440
02:23:53,479 --> 02:24:00,640
and red numbers uh in June uh we were

3441
02:23:57,200 --> 02:24:03,720
projecting uh needed uh cuts and at that

3442
02:24:00,640 --> 02:24:08,319
time unidentified of 7 A5 million for

3443
02:24:03,720 --> 02:24:11,920
2526 and 4.85 million or

3444
02:24:08,319 --> 02:24:14,920
2627 so when we move forward to our

3445
02:24:11,920 --> 02:24:17,120
multi-year projection at first intrum

3446
02:24:14,920 --> 02:24:19,160
this one is now current uh there are

3447
02:24:17,120 --> 02:24:20,880
some significant changes first I'll note

3448
02:24:19,160 --> 02:24:23,560
that fiscal stabilization plan measures

3449
02:24:20,880 --> 02:24:26,000
are no longer on the multi-year

3450
02:24:23,560 --> 02:24:28,000
projection uh we are showing the

3451
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:31,200
transfer of

3452
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:34,200
8.72 this year which I said will reduce

3453
02:24:31,200 --> 02:24:37,560
uh the 4.8 and 3.2 in each of the out

3454
02:24:34,200 --> 02:24:40,800
years I expect those to probably be Zero

3455
02:24:37,560 --> 02:24:43,920
by the time budget adoption comes um as

3456
02:24:40,800 --> 02:24:46,840
we've talked about internally as well uh

3457
02:24:43,920 --> 02:24:48,240
after we get back from winter break uh

3458
02:24:46,840 --> 02:24:49,920
then we start the normal business of the

3459
02:24:48,240 --> 02:24:52,520
school year right that we do on an

3460
02:24:49,920 --> 02:24:55,479
annual basis between our HR Department

3461
02:24:52,520 --> 02:24:58,040
business services along with ed services

3462
02:24:55,479 --> 02:25:00,279
uh and of course our superintendent

3463
02:24:58,040 --> 02:25:01,800
right getting into a small room

3464
02:25:00,279 --> 02:25:03,279
hammering it out then working with our

3465
02:25:01,800 --> 02:25:05,319
sites individually working with our

3466
02:25:03,279 --> 02:25:06,800
sites together and our departments to

3467
02:25:05,319 --> 02:25:09,720
make those decisions that we need to

3468
02:25:06,800 --> 02:25:11,439
that we would in any given year uh and

3469
02:25:09,720 --> 02:25:14,040
that's taking into account our current

3470
02:25:11,439 --> 02:25:16,640
enrollment our projected enrollment kids

3471
02:25:14,040 --> 02:25:18,880
we know that are coming um kids we don't

3472
02:25:16,640 --> 02:25:21,479
know are coming and kids that we don't

3473
02:25:18,880 --> 02:25:22,920
know are leaving yet uh parents and

3474
02:25:21,479 --> 02:25:24,399
students are really fast to tell us

3475
02:25:22,920 --> 02:25:26,960
they're coming and really slow to tell

3476
02:25:24,399 --> 02:25:30,160
us they're leaving uh which creates our

3477
02:25:26,960 --> 02:25:32,560
own challenges as we try and project out

3478
02:25:30,160 --> 02:25:34,920
uh for our staffing needs for the next

3479
02:25:32,560 --> 02:25:37,080
year so that's the work that starts

3480
02:25:34,920 --> 02:25:38,439
immediately um we do have those

3481
02:25:37,080 --> 02:25:40,160
transfers in we're not calling them

3482
02:25:38,439 --> 02:25:44,200
unidentified now because we're back to

3483
02:25:40,160 --> 02:25:48,520
kind of a normal place in time the work

3484
02:25:44,200 --> 02:25:50,359
uh that uh staff did all of us here our

3485
02:25:48,520 --> 02:25:53,160
school sites our principles our student

3486
02:25:50,359 --> 02:25:54,640
or School site committees and that was

3487
02:25:53,160 --> 02:25:58,000
brought to the board last week for

3488
02:25:54,640 --> 02:26:00,000
approval with the um one budget renewal

3489
02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:04,520
process that was also approved along

3490
02:26:00,000 --> 02:26:05,800
with the PKS that came um really helped

3491
02:26:04,520 --> 02:26:07,880
our budget when we look at our

3492
02:26:05,800 --> 02:26:10,319
multi-year right not a lot in the

3493
02:26:07,880 --> 02:26:14,040
current year uh there was some savings

3494
02:26:10,319 --> 02:26:16,920
but really what we did was we eliminated

3495
02:26:14,040 --> 02:26:19,760
the onetime funds uh that we had no more

3496
02:26:16,920 --> 02:26:21,359
of after this year right so some of

3497
02:26:19,760 --> 02:26:23,760
those position that were one time funded

3498
02:26:21,359 --> 02:26:25,160
went away through the PKS process and

3499
02:26:23,760 --> 02:26:27,399
because of the work done with the school

3500
02:26:25,160 --> 02:26:29,120
sites some school sites descended

3501
02:26:27,399 --> 02:26:30,760
decided not to do other programs and

3502
02:26:29,120 --> 02:26:33,680
services and keep some of those programs

3503
02:26:30,760 --> 02:26:36,720
and services but we've accounted for I

3504
02:26:33,680 --> 02:26:37,760
would say you know 97 98% right now and

3505
02:26:36,720 --> 02:26:39,760
we're still going through it to make

3506
02:26:37,760 --> 02:26:42,840
sure that we have 100% of the onetime

3507
02:26:39,760 --> 02:26:44,439
money uh eliminated uh from the future

3508
02:26:42,840 --> 02:26:47,920
budget right that's going to help us be

3509
02:26:44,439 --> 02:26:49,760
more stable uh as we go forward and we

3510
02:26:47,920 --> 02:26:51,399
go back to I know I've already said it

3511
02:26:49,760 --> 02:26:53,359
once or twice but kind of that normal

3512
02:26:51,399 --> 02:26:55,080
process in the school year that we go

3513
02:26:53,359 --> 02:26:56,640
through every January and February in

3514
02:26:55,080 --> 02:26:58,000
preparation for March and in preparation

3515
02:26:56,640 --> 02:27:02,359
for the next school

3516
02:26:58,000 --> 02:27:03,840
year uh so with this uh those uh what

3517
02:27:02,359 --> 02:27:06,880
was approved last week has been taken

3518
02:27:03,840 --> 02:27:10,680
out of our 2526 fiscal year as well as

3519
02:27:06,880 --> 02:27:12,399
our 26 27 fiscal year um which

3520
02:27:10,680 --> 02:27:15,040
dramatically changes our picture as we

3521
02:27:12,399 --> 02:27:16,319
look forward uh to the better right it

3522
02:27:15,040 --> 02:27:19,120
doesn't mean we're pretty and clear and

3523
02:27:16,319 --> 02:27:20,920
we have no work to do but the work is a

3524
02:27:19,120 --> 02:27:23,680
little bit different now uh and we get

3525
02:27:20,920 --> 02:27:25,120
to move forward and and try and do the

3526
02:27:23,680 --> 02:27:26,600
best we can for all of our students by

3527
02:27:25,120 --> 02:27:29,760
providing all the necessary resources

3528
02:27:26,600 --> 02:27:31,840
and programs uh both that we want to do

3529
02:27:29,760 --> 02:27:33,760
and those that we are legally required

3530
02:27:31,840 --> 02:27:36,880
to do and that's the work that

3531
02:27:33,760 --> 02:27:39,840
continues so when we go into this you

3532
02:27:36,880 --> 02:27:42,040
can see on here uh the ending balance

3533
02:27:39,840 --> 02:27:44,680
and each of those out years ass says

3534
02:27:42,040 --> 02:27:47,560
combined uh unrestricted and restricted

3535
02:27:44,680 --> 02:27:49,760
or unrestricted ending fund balance is

3536
02:27:47,560 --> 02:27:50,640
pretty stable or pretty flat through

3537
02:27:49,760 --> 02:27:53,279
these

3538
02:27:50,640 --> 02:27:55,399
years uh which is really determining

3539
02:27:53,279 --> 02:27:57,120
Health uh of our district we are able to

3540
02:27:55,399 --> 02:27:59,880
meet the reserve for economic

3541
02:27:57,120 --> 02:28:04,040
uncertainty in each of these three years

3542
02:27:59,880 --> 02:28:05,920
um at 4 and a half 4.3 and 4.4 million

3543
02:28:04,040 --> 02:28:06,960
respectively uh one of the questions

3544
02:28:05,920 --> 02:28:10,840
discussions we have is the board

3545
02:28:06,960 --> 02:28:13,319
mandated Reserve uh which we're working

3546
02:28:10,840 --> 02:28:14,760
towards that again uh we'll have further

3547
02:28:13,319 --> 02:28:17,399
discussions with the board about that in

3548
02:28:14,760 --> 02:28:19,279
the future uh but as a community funded

3549
02:28:17,399 --> 02:28:21,399
District it will be important if we can

3550
02:28:19,279 --> 02:28:23,200
start putting money back back into that

3551
02:28:21,399 --> 02:28:27,000
in order to have that stability when we

3552
02:28:23,200 --> 02:28:29,319
have fluctuations and property taxes um

3553
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:32,319
that we're counting on on an annual

3554
02:28:29,319 --> 02:28:34,040
basis uh but don't always materialize

3555
02:28:32,319 --> 02:28:37,040
right we're still fortunate that we're

3556
02:28:34,040 --> 02:28:39,479
continuing up uh but even you know one

3557
02:28:37,040 --> 02:28:41,240
or two% could make a difference if we're

3558
02:28:39,479 --> 02:28:44,760
looking at funding positions with that

3559
02:28:41,240 --> 02:28:47,720
and keeping programs and services

3560
02:28:44,760 --> 02:28:50,120
operable going forward into this this is

3561
02:28:47,720 --> 02:28:53,439
our expected balances at the end of 24

3562
02:28:50,120 --> 02:28:55,840
25 for funds 12 through 40 uh I will

3563
02:28:53,439 --> 02:28:57,560
make note of just one on here uh that's

3564
02:28:55,840 --> 02:28:59,359
our cafeteria fund where you see quite a

3565
02:28:57,560 --> 02:29:02,760
big difference in comparison to other

3566
02:28:59,359 --> 02:29:04,880
years of minus 1.2 million between now

3567
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:06,840
and then a couple things are happening

3568
02:29:04,880 --> 02:29:09,600
one we have a large fund balance uh

3569
02:29:06,840 --> 02:29:14,200
traditionally in that

3570
02:29:09,600 --> 02:29:16,920
um uh fund and we've made a complete 180

3571
02:29:14,200 --> 02:29:19,680
in our CNS program this year before we

3572
02:29:16,920 --> 02:29:21,359
were Contracting out for the majority of

3573
02:29:19,680 --> 02:29:25,640
our service other than our employees at

3574
02:29:21,359 --> 02:29:28,800
the school sites uh but we've gone to uh

3575
02:29:25,640 --> 02:29:31,640
from uh Contracting out for our food

3576
02:29:28,800 --> 02:29:33,680
service to 100% self-operating food

3577
02:29:31,640 --> 02:29:38,160
service we are bringing in higher

3578
02:29:33,680 --> 02:29:40,960
quality foods uh we are bringing in um

3579
02:29:38,160 --> 02:29:43,479
different ways uh from cooking to how

3580
02:29:40,960 --> 02:29:45,560
we're doing uh Linens and towels that's

3581
02:29:43,479 --> 02:29:48,160
our discussion right now with Food

3582
02:29:45,560 --> 02:29:50,279
Services uh trying to rid ourselves a

3583
02:29:48,160 --> 02:29:53,160
waste and having higher quality products

3584
02:29:50,279 --> 02:29:55,600
even for our staff to use uh so the work

3585
02:29:53,160 --> 02:29:58,240
going on there um you know the budget

3586
02:29:55,600 --> 02:30:00,479
work there uh the initial outlay of

3587
02:29:58,240 --> 02:30:02,160
funds for that but one thing we are

3588
02:30:00,479 --> 02:30:05,120
seeing uh and we'll have numbers to

3589
02:30:02,160 --> 02:30:08,040
share with the board uh probably late

3590
02:30:05,120 --> 02:30:10,640
winter early spring uh we are seeing you

3591
02:30:08,040 --> 02:30:13,120
know anywhere between a 15 and 25%

3592
02:30:10,640 --> 02:30:15,600
increase in participation rate at school

3593
02:30:13,120 --> 02:30:18,600
sites which is huge right on a

3594
02:30:15,600 --> 02:30:21,080
year-over-year basis uh which will bring

3595
02:30:18,600 --> 02:30:22,680
in more money to the program as well so

3596
02:30:21,080 --> 02:30:24,800
we're going to pay more to get higher

3597
02:30:22,680 --> 02:30:26,960
quality but we're also increasing our

3598
02:30:24,800 --> 02:30:29,399
participation rates which will bring in

3599
02:30:26,960 --> 02:30:31,000
more money for the program so right now

3600
02:30:29,399 --> 02:30:33,319
we're spending a little bit more than

3601
02:30:31,000 --> 02:30:37,200
we're bringing in but if we can see this

3602
02:30:33,319 --> 02:30:39,479
continued trend of upward um uh

3603
02:30:37,200 --> 02:30:41,439
participation it's a positive for that

3604
02:30:39,479 --> 02:30:43,240
program uh and I think we're doing some

3605
02:30:41,439 --> 02:30:45,240
really neat things there that we haven't

3606
02:30:43,240 --> 02:30:47,560
been able to do in the district before

3607
02:30:45,240 --> 02:30:50,160
changes slow but it's making an impact

3608
02:30:47,560 --> 02:30:53,359
already

3609
02:30:50,160 --> 02:30:55,520
going on uh areas to monitor um as

3610
02:30:53,359 --> 02:30:57,399
always we have negotiations that will

3611
02:30:55,520 --> 02:30:59,720
start again with both of our bargain

3612
02:30:57,399 --> 02:31:02,600
units I believe both in February Wy if

3613
02:30:59,720 --> 02:31:04,920
I'm correct um we fully expended the

3614
02:31:02,600 --> 02:31:06,920
onetime funds as of this year we've

3615
02:31:04,920 --> 02:31:08,640
taken action for that last time but we

3616
02:31:06,920 --> 02:31:09,960
still have to make sure we've got

3617
02:31:08,640 --> 02:31:13,399
everything we're going through and

3618
02:31:09,960 --> 02:31:16,160
checking everything twice so to speak um

3619
02:31:13,399 --> 02:31:18,120
enrollments going to be a big one uh and

3620
02:31:16,160 --> 02:31:20,880
we'll start that uh as soon as we get

3621
02:31:18,120 --> 02:31:22,399
back along with Jorge and his teams

3622
02:31:20,880 --> 02:31:25,399
uh on what they're seeing and then

3623
02:31:22,399 --> 02:31:27,359
looking at our demographer reports and

3624
02:31:25,399 --> 02:31:30,560
making decisions about school sites

3625
02:31:27,359 --> 02:31:33,479
classrooms uh and grade levels which

3626
02:31:30,560 --> 02:31:35,279
directly Impact Staffing uh and then

3627
02:31:33,479 --> 02:31:38,319
we'll eagerly await the anticipated

3628
02:31:35,279 --> 02:31:40,200
state budget uh really for specialized

3629
02:31:38,319 --> 02:31:43,399
programs and services that it may fund

3630
02:31:40,200 --> 02:31:46,520
more so than the lcff cola which will be

3631
02:31:43,399 --> 02:31:50,880
included in that uh because of our basic

3632
02:31:46,520 --> 02:31:50,880
Aid or Community funded status

3633
02:31:51,240 --> 02:31:57,240
so uh next steps the proposed budget our

3634
02:31:54,040 --> 02:31:59,520
second report in March and then in the

3635
02:31:57,240 --> 02:32:01,479
spring with budget development and then

3636
02:31:59,520 --> 02:32:04,200
uh honor and I bringing back the lcap

3637
02:32:01,479 --> 02:32:07,000
and the uh budget for public hearing and

3638
02:32:04,200 --> 02:32:09,080
adoption respectively I will say before

3639
02:32:07,000 --> 02:32:11,160
I turned over for questions I think

3640
02:32:09,080 --> 02:32:14,800
we're in a much stronger place than we

3641
02:32:11,160 --> 02:32:17,120
were in August or excuse me in June uh

3642
02:32:14,800 --> 02:32:19,560
certainly in August as well uh but when

3643
02:32:17,120 --> 02:32:22,279
we had budget adoption um the work

3644
02:32:19,560 --> 02:32:24,439
that's happened uh the I'll say the

3645
02:32:22,279 --> 02:32:26,800
sense of urgency and the thoroughness

3646
02:32:24,439 --> 02:32:30,439
that we went through on that uh I can't

3647
02:32:26,800 --> 02:32:32,800
understate how important that was uh to

3648
02:32:30,439 --> 02:32:36,160
you know eliminate that in future years

3649
02:32:32,800 --> 02:32:39,840
that funding and those that and whatever

3650
02:32:36,160 --> 02:32:42,560
position came of that right uh and being

3651
02:32:39,840 --> 02:32:44,319
able to unfortunately go back to a place

3652
02:32:42,560 --> 02:32:46,800
where it's almost pre-pandemic in some

3653
02:32:44,319 --> 02:32:48,319
ways in terms of funding uh but knowing

3654
02:32:46,800 --> 02:32:50,080
that we brought in a lot of programs and

3655
02:32:48,319 --> 02:32:51,479
services and the schools that needed

3656
02:32:50,080 --> 02:32:54,040
those programs in service we able to

3657
02:32:51,479 --> 02:32:56,359
keep the majority of them uh by making

3658
02:32:54,040 --> 02:33:00,040
decisions at the school site level uh

3659
02:32:56,359 --> 02:33:01,680
for what their School site needs so um

3660
02:33:00,040 --> 02:33:03,000
you know everything could be better but

3661
02:33:01,680 --> 02:33:04,760
it could be a lot worse and we're

3662
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:06,439
working towards better every time so

3663
02:33:04,760 --> 02:33:08,920
with that Al turn to for any questions

3664
02:33:06,439 --> 02:33:11,080
or comments thanks Rick for the

3665
02:33:08,920 --> 02:33:12,920
presentation um and thanks I know you

3666
02:33:11,080 --> 02:33:14,040
took some time to meet with many of the

3667
02:33:12,920 --> 02:33:15,520
board members I don't know if you got to

3668
02:33:14,040 --> 02:33:17,680
everybody all of them great beforehand

3669
02:33:15,520 --> 02:33:18,960
to sort of dive through that um with a

3670
02:33:17,680 --> 02:33:21,880
Tuesday night meeting that must have

3671
02:33:18,960 --> 02:33:24,120
been speed rounds over the last two days

3672
02:33:21,880 --> 02:33:26,359
so yeah appreciate it and thanks for

3673
02:33:24,120 --> 02:33:27,760
adding in the nyp from budget adoption I

3674
02:33:26,359 --> 02:33:30,640
think it's helpful to see sort of where

3675
02:33:27,760 --> 02:33:32,560
we were and where we are now um with

3676
02:33:30,640 --> 02:33:33,840
that I'll uh I'll see if anybody wants

3677
02:33:32,560 --> 02:33:35,279
to start David why didn't you start

3678
02:33:33,840 --> 02:33:37,359
again you did such a great job the first

3679
02:33:35,279 --> 02:33:38,840
time like we'll go we'll go right to you

3680
02:33:37,359 --> 02:33:40,960
if you have questions or comments it was

3681
02:33:38,840 --> 02:33:42,880
so comprehensive but I have nothing at

3682
02:33:40,960 --> 02:33:45,640
the

3683
02:33:42,880 --> 02:33:48,399
moment okay

3684
02:33:45,640 --> 02:33:51,200
great okay

3685
02:33:48,399 --> 02:33:53,399
Cecilia that's be the same thing we

3686
02:33:51,200 --> 02:33:55,680
actually spoke this afternoon and so you

3687
02:33:53,399 --> 02:33:58,000
know thanks again to you and your team

3688
02:33:55,680 --> 02:34:00,000
obviously for doing all this work and

3689
02:33:58,000 --> 02:34:02,960
obviously everyone right and BR City

3690
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:05,040
involved so thank you great to see all

3691
02:34:02,960 --> 02:34:07,880
the hard work of getting to something

3692
02:34:05,040 --> 02:34:10,240
that we can stand by and that um can be

3693
02:34:07,880 --> 02:34:12,040
a path forward for stabilized budget for

3694
02:34:10,240 --> 02:34:14,200
the for the district something that um

3695
02:34:12,040 --> 02:34:17,399
that Rick and I talked about um was just

3696
02:34:14,200 --> 02:34:19,359
sort of like refresher for members of

3697
02:34:17,399 --> 02:34:22,080
the public that you because we're funded

3698
02:34:19,359 --> 02:34:24,200
by property taxes um that funding

3699
02:34:22,080 --> 02:34:26,840
increases generally when properties turn

3700
02:34:24,200 --> 02:34:28,399
over because property taxes are capped

3701
02:34:26,840 --> 02:34:30,399
in their increase year-over-year so we

3702
02:34:28,399 --> 02:34:32,120
count on turnover but we've got high

3703
02:34:30,399 --> 02:34:33,720
interest rates right now on mortgages

3704
02:34:32,120 --> 02:34:35,399
which means the rate at which properties

3705
02:34:33,720 --> 02:34:36,640
are turning over is low because not a

3706
02:34:35,399 --> 02:34:38,920
lot of people are super excited to

3707
02:34:36,640 --> 02:34:41,880
finance a 30-year mortgage at like a 7%

3708
02:34:38,920 --> 02:34:44,160
interest rate um looking like rates may

3709
02:34:41,880 --> 02:34:47,000
be coming down that could bring up

3710
02:34:44,160 --> 02:34:48,479
turnover rates the the actual value of

3711
02:34:47,000 --> 02:34:50,200
real estate property seems like it's

3712
02:34:48,479 --> 02:34:51,920
ping pretty well terms people want to

3713
02:34:50,200 --> 02:34:54,080
live here in the Bay Area Housing stocks

3714
02:34:51,920 --> 02:34:56,240
relatively restricted so things have

3715
02:34:54,080 --> 02:34:58,479
held their value and I I have some hope

3716
02:34:56,240 --> 02:35:00,279
that uh rates will come down and that

3717
02:34:58,479 --> 02:35:02,479
we'll be able to see more turnover and

3718
02:35:00,279 --> 02:35:05,080
that'll in turn provide more funding for

3719
02:35:02,479 --> 02:35:05,080
our school

3720
02:35:05,279 --> 02:35:10,520
district yeah the um budget renewal

3721
02:35:08,399 --> 02:35:12,800
initiative that that you all ran it was

3722
02:35:10,520 --> 02:35:16,040
you know kind of a big significant step

3723
02:35:12,800 --> 02:35:18,640
from the budget adoption um to you know

3724
02:35:16,040 --> 02:35:21,040
it sort of let's say stabilize it in the

3725
02:35:18,640 --> 02:35:22,800
miip so that that was great um so thank

3726
02:35:21,040 --> 02:35:24,560
you staff and Leadership and I know it

3727
02:35:22,800 --> 02:35:26,840
was pushed out to the sites um you know

3728
02:35:24,560 --> 02:35:28,160
of identifying it and and really making

3729
02:35:26,840 --> 02:35:30,000
these decisions while keeping student

3730
02:35:28,160 --> 02:35:31,880
learning really at the center um student

3731
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:34,439
learning and wellness actually at the

3732
02:35:31,880 --> 02:35:36,680
Forefront um and it's encouraging that

3733
02:35:34,439 --> 02:35:38,279
it gives us a you know goes back to the

3734
02:35:36,680 --> 02:35:40,240
normal kind of planning that you you

3735
02:35:38,279 --> 02:35:41,720
keep saying and gives us kind of a

3736
02:35:40,240 --> 02:35:43,160
breathing room to really think about

3737
02:35:41,720 --> 02:35:44,760
like strategically how we want to deal

3738
02:35:43,160 --> 02:35:47,040
with the budget um and so that that's

3739
02:35:44,760 --> 02:35:48,600
good um at the same time though you know

3740
02:35:47,040 --> 02:35:50,359
we are still deficit spending it's still

3741
02:35:48,600 --> 02:35:52,080
predicted to be deficit spending so I

3742
02:35:50,359 --> 02:35:54,040
don't think that you know it's always

3743
02:35:52,080 --> 02:35:55,960
like you know we have to keep it just

3744
02:35:54,040 --> 02:35:57,600
means we have to keep a focus on it uh

3745
02:35:55,960 --> 02:35:58,760
and make sure that the diligence is

3746
02:35:57,600 --> 02:36:01,359
there and there's probably still room

3747
02:35:58,760 --> 02:36:03,080
for further optimizations in the future

3748
02:36:01,359 --> 02:36:07,040
um but obviously we don't have to do it

3749
02:36:03,080 --> 02:36:08,760
now um and then uh the there's still

3750
02:36:07,040 --> 02:36:11,319
room for advocacy for people that want

3751
02:36:08,760 --> 02:36:15,040
to get involved uh if you see sort of

3752
02:36:11,319 --> 02:36:17,520
the rates of CP Pur notably Cal STS too

3753
02:36:15,040 --> 02:36:19,880
in the past uh the state has taken

3754
02:36:17,520 --> 02:36:22,080
action to help reduce that burden on on

3755
02:36:19,880 --> 02:36:24,160
school districts um and that's an

3756
02:36:22,080 --> 02:36:25,880
opportunity to sort of say hey is there

3757
02:36:24,160 --> 02:36:29,120
something that can happen there to to

3758
02:36:25,880 --> 02:36:30,520
help out for for schools here um anyways

3759
02:36:29,120 --> 02:36:32,680
I look forward to you know continuing

3760
02:36:30,520 --> 02:36:34,399
these conversations in the future thanks

3761
02:36:32,680 --> 02:36:37,399
thank

3762
02:36:34,399 --> 02:36:39,960
you this is an action item uh so we need

3763
02:36:37,399 --> 02:36:41,240
to approve the interm budget uh do

3764
02:36:39,960 --> 02:36:44,120
anyone want to make a motion to approve

3765
02:36:41,240 --> 02:36:51,520

3766
02:36:44,120 --> 02:36:51,520
so second second all in favor I I

3767
02:36:53,920 --> 02:36:58,800
perfect okay board and superintendent

3768
02:36:57,040 --> 02:37:01,520
reports

3769
02:36:58,800 --> 02:37:04,880
um does anybody have anything to report

3770
02:37:01,520 --> 02:37:06,439
we met just last Wednesday um yeah great

3771
02:37:04,880 --> 02:37:08,720
perfect awesome just a quick little

3772
02:37:06,439 --> 02:37:10,800
thing um so I actually went with Alisa

3773
02:37:08,720 --> 02:37:12,600
to Clifford this morning um I'd never

3774
02:37:10,800 --> 02:37:14,520
been to a k through eight school before

3775
02:37:12,600 --> 02:37:16,560
so that was an interesting experience

3776
02:37:14,520 --> 02:37:19,319
for me but that made me think about a

3777
02:37:16,560 --> 02:37:21,040
question for Anna um the dashboard is

3778
02:37:19,319 --> 02:37:23,640
that just K through five or is that k

3779
02:37:21,040 --> 02:37:26,560
through eight it's k through eight for

3780
02:37:23,640 --> 02:37:28,120
us do we ever split it that we look at K

3781
02:37:26,560 --> 02:37:31,240
through five and look at Middle School

3782
02:37:28,120 --> 02:37:33,720
separately um not in the k8s but just as

3783
02:37:31,240 --> 02:37:35,760
comprehensive we do we can Jenny would

3784
02:37:33,720 --> 02:37:38,840
have to disate just the six to eight to

3785
02:37:35,760 --> 02:37:41,200
see the differences um but typically we

3786
02:37:38,840 --> 02:37:43,720
get the each school gets their

3787
02:37:41,200 --> 02:37:45,359
information as a group a lump of that

3788
02:37:43,720 --> 02:37:46,760
