109
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,800
that I cannot do throughout the week

110
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,479
essential tasks that directly benefit

111
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,840
our students in the broader School

112
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:43,120

include recess lunch and times that I am

117
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,320
working around class availability

118
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:56,759

00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,360
classes I'm doing ongoing Library

122
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,600
maintenance that involves shelving up to

123
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,360
300 books a day I am cleaning up the

124
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,919
shelves that even the best classes can

125
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,680
demolish I am processing books

126
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:12,199
processing each book involves seven

127
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,560
steps and minutes for each book for the

128
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:15,720
Spanish books that I purchase it can

129
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,600
take up to 10 steps for each book

130
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,039
Spanish and Mandarin book processing is

131
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,759
much more timec consuming than English

132
00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:23,479
Library maintenance involves researching

133
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:25,080
and ordering cataloging and processing

134
00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:27,520
meetings and trainings working on our

135
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,720

late and lost books and Community

142
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,080
engagement such as special events with

143
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,800
the public library and author visits

144
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,199
these tasks underscore the importance of

145
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,960
our current schedule as they are

146
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:50,280
essential to the academic and Social

147
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,160
Development of our students speaking for

148
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:54,240
myself reducing my hours were would

149
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,440
significantly impact my ability to

150
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,840
perform these tasks effectively I will

151
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,400
not have the time to do most of these

152
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:02,800
maintenance tasks next year the district

153
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,479
office wants to cut my hours from 37.5

154
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,919
down to 30 hours a week basically

155
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:08,840
eliminating one day a week my favorite

156
00:06:06,919 --> 00:06:10,960
thing to do is plan vibrant and fun

157
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:12,560
lesson plans sometimes up to four

158
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,280
different ones each week for different

159
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,639
grade levels teaching our students the

160
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:18,280
beauty of literature and non-fiction I

161
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,919
have painstakingly worked on these

162
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,919
lesson plans which are not just a read

163
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:24,199
aloud but interactive activities using

164
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:26,000
the Smartboard for photos and videos

165
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:28,160
along with games to play that teach them

166
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000
correct Library usage I'm here to

167
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,120

168
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
day doing the job that I do today's

169
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,759

170
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,880
out like the ones from the 80s it's

171
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:40,680

192
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,720
it where okay what I do counts it

194
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,720
thing the support staff not just for our

have soon to be four children in the

251
00:10:18,839 --> 00:10:24,200
Orion mandin immersion program and I'm

252
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:25,959
just calling in today um on behalf of

253
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,880
the prospective Mi families that have

254
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:29,320
been recently attending board meetings

255
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,720
and I'm calling today to express my

256
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,360
support for the recruiting efforts and

257
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:35,320
the active placement of the desired

258
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,279
classes for the Orion Co-op program we

259
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,120
are very gratified to have received

260
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:40,800
placement for three TK classes of Mi at

261
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Orion because this is the minimum number

262
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,519
of classes needed across National Mi

263
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,279
schools to have a healthy cohort in

264
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:48,720
Middle School however we want to express

265
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:50,399
that we know that skipping a class of

266
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,560
enrollment is equally difficult for

267
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:55,279
Co-Op as it is for Mi and we support the

268
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:57,680
eventual placement of a second Co-op T

269
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:59,480
class TK class in the second round

270
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:01,440
because they tend to have a different

271
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,800
enrollment pattern than us and they have

272
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,399
they tend to have a lot of families

273
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,920
expressing interest in enrolling in the

274
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:10,920
second round um and so we wanted to

275
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,040
express support for them and and show

276
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,959
our solidarity with them um as we

277
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,959
continue to recruit to fill out our Mi

278
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:19,200
classes we really don't want this to be

279
00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:20,639
a competition for space or resources or

280
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,200
classes and I want to show that we

281
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:24,120
support each other in doing what's best

282
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,680
and what's right for our sister

283
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,839
program um and also I just want to point

284
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:30,760
out that you know this situation you

285
00:11:28,839 --> 00:11:32,240
know this current imbalance and the

286
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,639
anxiety that families have felt this

287
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:38,680
points to um a missed opportunity I

288
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:41,040
think um in our community um for the

289
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:43,399
Orion growth committee to be presented

290
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,399
with accurate data on growth we had

291
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:47,279
projected there was projected that we

292
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:49,440
would lose 84 students in fact at

293
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:52,880
present I think we're we're gaining over

294
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:55,200
50 students across both programs even if

295
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,760
you even if you account for the families

296
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,839
that we expect to lose for norstar which

297
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,959
we're not going to lose everyone that

298
00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:02,800
applied anyway um and we if Coop gets

299
00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:04,839
their second te class which which we

300
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,360
expect then we could they could we could

301
00:12:04,839 --> 00:12:10,000
stand to have almost 70 or 80 students

302
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,839
new students at that campus so um I'm

303
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,440
calling to say that I hope that the

304
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:15,720
community can be given a chance to

305
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,880
process growth you know the needed

306
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:21,160
growth for Mi what's best for Co-Op and

307
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,199
talk about it as a community um because

308
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,320
I think that that's important so that we

309
00:12:23,199 --> 00:12:27,920
can provide input on the the outcome of

310
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,000
growth and the effect that that would

311
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,440
have on each respective program

312
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,959
thank you guys so much and thank you so

313
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240

districtwide um in 2025 this coming

389
00:16:53,639 --> 00:17:00,920
units and install um new units at four

390
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:04,400
sites uh at atan Shelby Hoover Roosevelt

00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:07,880
and Taft and continue the design process

392
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:10,319
for um the remaining District uh sites

393
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:13,400
for an implementation and installation

394
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:16,919
in 2026 and the following summer

395
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:20,439
2027 if you go to the next slide um

396
00:17:16,919 --> 00:17:24,919
tonight there was an item for approval

397
00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:27,240
for um the purchase of some units and

398
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:29,360
also the rental of some units so we did

399
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,559
a cost benefit analysis of

400
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:35,000
what it would cost to supply the

401
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:37,720
district with all units being rented and

402
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,799
then also a portion of the units being

403
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:45,160
purchased so before you now you can see

404
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:48,000
that um we've looked at the current uh

405
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,240
2025 sites that would be a rental cost

406
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,400
of

407
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:55,559
$25,000 to get those rented for a a few

408
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,760
months two to three months and then um

409
00:17:55,559 --> 00:18:00,640
replace the units during the summer for

410
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:05,760
those four sites and then uh rental

411
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:09,120
units um for the next four uh sites per

412
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:11,520
for all sites for um four sites for 15

413
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:14,679
months and then another four sites for

414
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:17,240
27 months that brings um the total and

415
00:18:14,679 --> 00:18:19,720
we did have some contingency applied

416
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,600
just because the pricing of units can go

417
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,080
up um and so we wanted to make sure that

418
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,280
we were covered for that that would

419
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,720
bring if we rented all the units uh we'd

420
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:31,679
be requesting

421
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:34,000
2.7 of 2 $7 million um with measure s

422
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:37,200
bond funds if you go to the next slide

423
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,000
we looked at the cost to rent some of

424
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:42,240
the units and then purchase the

425
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,320
remaining units so rental of 130 units

426
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,880
because that would be a short-term

427
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,640
rental for the units um that we are

428
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:51,600
preparing for replacement this summer um

429
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,280
so they continue 205,000 for that and

430
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,880
then a purchase of

431
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:59,039
178 units which um is significantly

432
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:02,000
lower at 600

433
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:05,799
10,000 for the um all the remaining

434
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,240
eight sites we have um 10% contingency

435
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:10,280
and bringing that total um would be

436
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,039
under a million at

437
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,240
$896,000

438
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:18,080
um there's two different type of units

439
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,760
those um because of the opportunity and

440
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,760
the mass purchasing of a large quantity

441
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:26,039
of units um we looked at providing all

442
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,640
those units this spring that we were

443
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:29,559
needed to have two different types of

444
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:33,240
units they are similar it in their

445
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:35,400
function it's just that with getting 178

446
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,440
units in a couple months we need the

447
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:42,000
need to be flexible with that another um

448
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,440
opportunity that we um are utilizing

449
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,440
here tonight is also the purchase of

450
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:50,000
these units under a piggyback uh

451
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,360
contract and that would be um that is

452
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,760
something the district has participated

453
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:57,640
in the past you've participated in an

454
00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:00,039
Omnia contract under public contract

455
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,919
code um um I just have to make sure I

456
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:08,000
say the right one um excuse me public

457
00:20:03,919 --> 00:20:10,760
contract code uh to

458
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,440
21118 it's a public contract code that

459
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,840
districts are allowed to utilize with

460
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,159
mass purchasing a piggyback um the

461
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,159
piggyback purchase would be um

462
00:20:17,159 --> 00:20:21,919
purchasing those under a selection

463
00:20:19,159 --> 00:20:23,520
process that the another district has

464
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:25,880
already gone through which was a

465
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,320
competitive process and you're utilizing

466
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,760
that for the purchase of your units um

467
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,960
so that was the procurement process that

468
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,200
we would like to move forward with if

469
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,799

00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,760
recommend purchasing these units um

471
00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:42,600
doing a portion um which was the rental

472
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,280
for the four sites that we're going to

473
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,039
use this summer and then the remaining

474
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,280
purchase of the 178 units for the

475
00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:51,799

Mike can you hear me I can yes okay I uh

497
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:55,400
happy to speak tonight on this topic um

498
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:57,840
I uh trustees I'm a big fan of of

499
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,840
spending money in our schools I'm

500
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,679
working on this citizens paral tax

501
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,600
initiative to hopefully bring more money

502
00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:07,440
to the district big fan of spending Bond

503
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,320
money big fan of hbac upgrades we've

504
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,159
heard so many teachers complain about

505
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,679
the hot classroom so this will be great

506
00:22:11,159 --> 00:22:16,080
in the spring and um it's going to be

507
00:22:13,679 --> 00:22:18,880
great when this is permanently done so

508
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:22,720
big fan of portable AC this is great

509
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:25,120
it's a perfect interim solution um my

510
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,200
question is really about uh charging

511
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:30,200
rental costs for two to three months for

512
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,799
some of the units to the bond bond fund

513
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:37,320
um I don't think that's a proper use of

514
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:38,600
bond money and um rather than argue that

515
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,480
point though the point that I'd like to

516
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,919
make this evening is just to think about

517
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:47,400
the bond spending this is my suggestion

518
00:22:43,919 --> 00:22:51,600
not can we spend this as Bond money but

519
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:53,159
should we spend this as Bond money and I

520
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,159
think the way to think about that is the

521
00:22:53,159 --> 00:22:57,279
bargain that was cast with the taxpayers

522
00:22:55,159 --> 00:23:00,080
is we're going to get $300 million for

523
00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:01,799
measure s you taxpayers will pay that

524
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,080
back over 30

525
00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:07,240
years um in the first trunch at a 4%

526
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:10,120
interest rate so every dollar that you

527
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,559
spend from measure s costs the taxpayers

528
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:14,760
US

529
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:17,000
$340 over the next 30 Years and so when

530
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,600
you think about hey should we rent an

531
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,960
air conditioning unit for two to three

532
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,679
months and then pay for it over 30 years

533
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,080
at three times the cost it just doesn't

534
00:23:24,679 --> 00:23:29,120
make sense I think the taxpayers want

535
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,360
you to build beautiful class rooms and

536
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:35,159
libraries and steam facilities with that

537
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:37,240
money and I fully support that um now I

538
00:23:35,159 --> 00:23:39,600
know a rental makes

539
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,600
sense uh and so maybe you just pay for

540
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:44,279
that out of the general funds If instead

541
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,320
you want to buy all the units that's

542
00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:48,440
fine too now the taxpayers have a

543
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,039
capital asset that you've Acquired and

544
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,480
when they're no longer needed maybe the

545
00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:53,760
district can sell them and get some

546
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,960
money back that's great but please don't

547
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,159
use Bond money that we have to pay for

548
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,520
30 years on a 2 to three-month rental

549
00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:03,480
thank you than

550
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:06,080
you all right thank you Carl okay great

551
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,159
thanks Carl um before we move into board

552
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,960
discussion um just Rick to kind of

553
00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:14,039
follow up on that comment can we use a

554
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,880
different funding source for the um the

555
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:17,840
rentals well I agree that this is kind

556
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,400
of bundled together as the same project

557
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,760
it might be clearer if it had a

558
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,080
different funding source for for the

559
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,000
rentals

560
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,360
only excuse me yeah good evening uh yes

561
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,960
we can use a different funding source we

562
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:32,200
could use different facilities fund fund

563
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,799
25 or 35 to pay for the rental cost and

564
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,840
so if we were to proceed with this

565
00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:37,480
action tonight um that would be part of

566
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,240
it um having a different different

567
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,600
funding source for the rentals and and

568
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,799
then the bond money for the purchase of

569
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:46,200
the capital asset yes I certainly can be

570
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:48,559
yes then um with that clarified um I'd

571
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,159

just wanted to thank the district staff

588
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,120
for the rigorous analysis here about

589
00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:35,120
whether it made sense to rent versus buy

590
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:37,559
and which tranches to rent versus which

591
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:39,000
tranches to buy um there was further

592
00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:41,159
email correspondence where there's

593
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,799
clarification about what we do with the

594
00:25:41,159 --> 00:25:47,000
purchased temporary units at end of life

595
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:48,880
um and just I I feel like the staff

596
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,360
approached this in a really thoughtful

597
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,520
way to go and minimize the the cost

598
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:55,679
impact while making sure to respond

599
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,919
timely to the Urgent needs that we've

600
00:25:55,679 --> 00:26:01,520
heard from teachers from parents Etc to

601
00:25:58,919 --> 00:26:03,159
have air conditioning available before

602
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,679
it starts getting hot again so it's just

603
00:26:03,159 --> 00:26:08,200
a note of

604
00:26:05,679 --> 00:26:09,720
thanks all right thanks David yeah and I

605
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,120
I agree I mean ensuring a comfortable

606
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,720
learning environment is critical for

607
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:14,399
students focus and well-being we heard a

608
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,679
lot of that especially in the hot months

609
00:26:14,399 --> 00:26:19,760
at the beginning of the year um and so

610
00:26:17,679 --> 00:26:21,679
uh getting something in place um for the

611
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,279
spring and Su and early summer and then

612
00:26:21,679 --> 00:26:25,080
the longterm improvements that are

613
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:27,640
coming is going to be great and again I

614
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,960
like David um I totally appreciate the

615
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,480
hybrid approach and the way that you're

616
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,279
looking at it it seems really thoughtful

617
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,840
and cost effective um and you know to be

618
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:38,200
able to address a cost effective way to

619
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,240
address the immediate needs um and

620
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,720
keeping long-term fiscal responsibility

621
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,559
you know kind of in mind um with that I

622
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,000
guess we can go ahead and see if I can

623
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:48,000
get a motion to

624
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
approve remember what the change in

625
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,960
funding source is for the

626
00:26:51,000 --> 00:27:00,240
rental to

627
00:26:53,960 --> 00:27:00,240
approve think second all in favor I

628
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:07,360
okay uh this is on okay so we have a we

629
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,320
have a speaker in the room on this one

630
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:12,080
uh one just before it finishes so we'll

631
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,080
take it uh Devon

632
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,880
meany hello again um so I I'm uh

633
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,000
unfortunately I haven't been keeping

634
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,720
close tabs on the air conditioning

635
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,360
discussion promotions and whatnot thank

636
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,720
you very much uh enough of being in

637
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:34,559
ovens uh it gets a little toasty during

638
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:36,919
the summer or spring or even early fall

639
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:39,320
um something to consider especially with

640
00:27:36,919 --> 00:27:41,720
the portable units um right now I've got

641
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,320
34 students in each of my classes we max

642
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,960
out at 35 um they're eighth graders

643
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,600
they're pretty much some of them are

644
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:52,640
really in adult bodies already having a

645
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:55,559
another thing on the floor in the room

646
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,880
taking up space sounds a little

647
00:27:55,559 --> 00:28:00,039
challenging so I don't know if we can

648
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,120
get those up top and actually have the

649
00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:04,480
units on the roof permanently would be

650
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:07,000
optimal that's my only concern otherwise

651
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,360
yes please air conditioning that's it

652
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,279
they will it's Hoover Hoover will get

653
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:13,000
them and then Hoover is one of the first

654
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:14,640
schools to get the permanent one so the

655
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,559
temporary yeah so the temporary for

656
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,480
Hoover would be just for this spring and

657
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:20,240
then HVAC will be upgraded over the

658
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,799
summer and you'll come back to um you

659
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,480
won't even have a unit in there not

660
00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:25,399
mounted on the ceiling or on the floor

661
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,039
so but thank you for the comment um I

it's a little difficult to pronounce but

682
00:29:19,919 --> 00:29:25,240
um uh tonight you have the annual

683
00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:28,360
financial report for the district and

684
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,399
along with that is uh measure s& so Rick

685
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:33,120
are these a separate agenda item or are

686
00:29:30,399 --> 00:29:35,120
they together uh S&T are one item and

687
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,320
then the next item is the district's

688
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:40,840
audit and we're starting out with the

689
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:43,480
S&T I see um and so S&T is a little bit

690
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,200
different than the districts it's uh

691
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,720
ensuring that the financial statements

692
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,279
of those two measures are fairly stated

693
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,279
and they are segregated from The

694
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:54,000
District's funds and along with that uh

695
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:56,799
you are required to have a performance

696
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,000
audit per Proposition 39 which is

697
00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:01,600
effectively compliance audit ensuring

698
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,240
that the expenses are in compliance with

699
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:07,240
what the voters had voted on and so it's

700
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:09,120
a two segment type of audit we the

701
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,640
financial aspect of it we confirm the

702
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,840
receipts we confirm your cash your bond

703
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:17,399
proceeds uh we test the expenses and we

704
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,760
make sure that the amounts are uh fairly

705
00:30:17,399 --> 00:30:20,279
stated with respect to those two

706
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,000
measures and then with respect to the

707
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:23,480
performance audit we sit with your

708
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,360
project managers we take a look at the

709
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,159
expenses we make sure that these

710
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,480
expenses are in accordance with what the

711
00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:32,240
voters had voted on and I'm pleased to

712
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,279
let you know that those two measures did

713
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,360
not have any exceptions adjustments or

714
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:38,840
findings and we issued a clean opinion

715
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:41,120
on both the financial statements and the

716
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,880
compliance or the performance audit and

717
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,080
with that I'll be more than happy to

this tax money that the voters have

732
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,279

735
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:26,760
um as does the oversight committee uh so

736
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,840
this is an action item so we need a

737
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:32,760
motion and a second to

738
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:35,000
approve oh David sorry sorry I know um

739
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,360
just to clarify I did see and I think

740
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,480
you answered this but the there was

741
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,960
language About Management override of

742
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,080
controls being a significant risk I

743
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,559
think what you mentioned was that this

744
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:46,279
is standard language is that correct yes

745
00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:48,880
we are required to tell you a few things

746
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:51,039
in that letter that you saw in there uh

747
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,120
and one of these things is what we did

748
00:31:51,039 --> 00:31:54,919
in terms of the audit and we always look

749
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,080
at management override this is just the

750
00:31:54,919 --> 00:32:00,039
standard procedure making sure that

751
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,320
procedures in place in there to ensure

752
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:04,360
that the the internal controls are

753
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,000
adhere to your policies are adhere to so

754
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,519
we perform policies we performed a test

755
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,320
of those procedures to lower that risk

756
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:13,320
this is a required communication that we

757
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,919
are required to tell you about in other

758
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,919
words it's it's not unusual for this to

759
00:32:14,919 --> 00:32:21,480
be something uh this is standard for all

760
00:32:17,919 --> 00:32:21,480
audit clients thank

761
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:27,440
you okay is there a

762
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,320
motion do we take motion for this one or

763
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,559
is it just information is this I thought

764
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,799
it was under action item is this

765
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:33,159
information I'm sorry you're right this

766
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:35,559
is not an action item you're right this

767
00:32:33,159 --> 00:32:37,679
is just a community report thanks yeah

768
00:32:35,559 --> 00:32:40,360
sorry okay great then let's move on to

769
00:32:37,679 --> 00:32:43,080
the next item and so this is for the

770
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,760
full District audit all right and uh so

771
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,120
this is the annual financial report for

772
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,840
the district uh it is a process that

773
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,720
started at the early part of the year we

774
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,639
uh split the audit into multiple phases

775
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:58,120
we got it we go out to the sites uh we

776
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:59,919
perform uh um a test in during the

777
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,159
interim phase of the audit that's the

778
00:32:59,919 --> 00:33:03,960
process or the phase in which we take a

779
00:33:02,159 --> 00:33:06,159
look at the manner that you process

780
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,960
receipts uh the manner that you process

781
00:33:06,159 --> 00:33:10,000
dispersements and man that process

782
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,760
payroll uh we want to see internal

783
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,360
controls we look at those internal

784
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,080
controls and we want to make sure that

785
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:18,399
there segregation and review process and

786
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:21,080
then we wait for management to close the

787
00:33:18,399 --> 00:33:22,960
books and come in after the fact and

788
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,919
it's effectively confirmation Process

789
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,919
Management uh presents to you the UN

790
00:33:24,919 --> 00:33:29,480
audited actuals and again we come in

791
00:33:26,919 --> 00:33:31,960
after the fact we confirm it with your

792
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,360
creditors with your Bankers with the

793
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,080
state with your grantors it's just the

794
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,080
process of confirming the amounts are

795
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:41,360
reported on the financial statements you

796
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:43,760
also are required to have a federal

797
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,200
compliance audit and a state compliance

798
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,200
audit and so those are the additional

799
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,399
items that we audited during the scope

800
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,120
of the audit and I'm pleased to let you

801
00:33:50,399 --> 00:33:55,080
know that uh the district received a

802
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,360
clean opinion on these financial

803
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,200
statements and they received a clean

804
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,840
opinion on federal compliance there's a

805
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,360
finding in that related to the state

806
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,600
compliance which is a repeat finding

807
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,240
from the prior years it's a common thing

808
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,000
that we're seeing out there in the Bay

809
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,560
Area um and I do want to thank the

810
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,399
district's management I mean again it's

811
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,000
a confirmation process so they connected

812
00:34:12,399 --> 00:34:17,119
us with all the external parties that

813
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,879
ensures so that we can ensure that these

814
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:22,359
financial statements are fated it's a

815
00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:24,639
confirmation process again and uh with

816
00:34:22,359 --> 00:34:26,119
that uh I'll be more than happy to take

817
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:28,440
any

818
00:34:26,119 --> 00:34:29,839
questions all right I'll turn turn the

819
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,000
trustees again do you have any questions

820
00:34:29,839 --> 00:34:32,000
or

821
00:34:33,079 --> 00:34:37,599
comments another clarification just on

822
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:39,520
the second finding um I think you

823
00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:41,560
mentioned that for a district of size um

824
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,599
it's not uncommon or sorry a district of

825
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,159
this type it's not uncommon to have a

826
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:49,879
internal control system that's not quite

827
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:52,320
as robust uh I just clarification when

828
00:34:49,879 --> 00:34:54,240
you do find districts that have a more

829
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,280
robust internal control systems what are

830
00:34:54,240 --> 00:35:00,760
the characteristics of those types of

831
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:03,800
like larger or what result like um yes

832
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,240
um and so this is not really unusual for

833
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,200
this District because we're seeing it

834
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:08,800
quite often uh with some of these

835
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,359
districts and so if there are

836
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:14,240
adjustments to the financial statements

837
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:16,920
and this is what causes the finding and

838
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:19,960
normally you see this due to I'm going

839
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,440
to say I don't know but this turnover

840
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,880
that typically happens here and there

841
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,720
and so some District does indeed have a

842
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,160
Reconciliation process does have the

843
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:29,599
internal control procedures that they

844
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,160
need to have in there is just the

845
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:33,280
sometimes the Staffing shortages and so

846
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,880
that's why you have we come in after the

847
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,280
fact again when and so if there's an

848
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,960
adjustment in there there were a couple

849
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:41,079
adjustments there uh to make sure that

850
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,520
you know the numbers line up with as I

851
00:35:41,079 --> 00:35:45,720
mentioned before the

852
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,960
confirmations and uh and so it was

853
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:48,280
reported to you that there were

854
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,000
adjustments and that therefore the

855
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,240
internal controls at the district level

856
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,040
I may we come in as like the very last

857
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:56,800
step but we would like it to see that

858
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,599
the district has you know fully

859
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,960
implemented those requirements again the

860
00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:02,400
district does have the internal control

861
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,200
procedures in that they do have the

862
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,800
reconciliation process but I think it

863
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:10,839
was just probably turnovers what we

864
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,839
heard um with respect to those

865
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:18,000
adjustments tenifer

866
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,520

919
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:37,200
of the school year the number grew to

920
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:40,680
nearly 700 typically we receive between

921
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:43,920
50 to 100 students uh new to the school

922
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:46,599
after this the start of the year um in

923
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:49,319
the past month alone we welcomed

924
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:52,800
approximately 15 students most of them

925
00:38:49,319 --> 00:38:56,880
who are new to the country

926
00:38:52,800 --> 00:39:00,240
um of our population 97% are categorized

927
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,920
as economic ically disadvantaged 67 are

928
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:08,920
English language Learners and

929
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:08,920
96% are Latin eent we head it over to Mr

930
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:16,880
Gomez all right so as you know this

931
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:19,800
highlights rcs's lcap goal uh number one

932
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:22,160
uh which Under the mtss Umbrella um and

933
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,560
withal supports uh Hoover is currently

934
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,960
working on improving her student

935
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,880
outcomes uh working on reducing chronic

936
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,480
absenteeism increasing overall

937
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,760
attendance and lowering our suspension

938
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,280
rates so these efforts reflect Hoover's

939
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:36,599
commitment to equity engagement and a

940
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:39,319
positive School climate which um we're

941
00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:39,319
about to discuss

942
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:44,640
tonight and this graph and the next

943
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:47,280
illustrate what John Michael just

944
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:50,119
explained about our U chronic

945
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,680
absenteeism I don't know how to new

946
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:54,119
fangled

947
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:57,480
things let's see here as you can see

948
00:39:54,119 --> 00:40:01,720
that we've gone down to 20% uh by this

949
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:04,040
by December from 2021 to 22 um

950
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:07,800
37.7% down to

951
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:10,880
20.5% which is significant

952
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:14,520
and um by student group you can also see

953
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:18,160
that we've um our chronic absentee rate

954
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:20,200
has gone way down um and specifically if

955
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,960
you can look at the uh subgroup they're

956
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,640
called homeless on this particular thing

957
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:27,400
but we call them the housing insecure so

958
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,880
um we've been doing a pretty good job of

959
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,680
meeting you know Bringing Down The

960
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,520
Chronic absenteeism and I think the

961
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:35,520
definition of a chronic chronically

962
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:39,079
absent student is I can't I I think it's

963
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,680
like um two or three absences per month

964
00:40:39,079 --> 00:40:42,240
and we're really working hard making

965
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,200
phone calls which we'll talk about in a

966
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:46,359
few

967
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,760
minutes so this slide here highlights

968
00:40:46,359 --> 00:40:50,480
the comparison rates of our suspensions

969
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,359
um so as you can see um over the past

970
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:55,400
four years our suspension rates have

971
00:40:52,359 --> 00:40:59,560
dropped dramatically um rising from last

972
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:02,079
year at 4.3% to currently uh 310% which

973
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,880
is a huge decrease um and so just to

974
00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:06,119
kind of give you a little perspective at

975
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,119
this time last year uh we had 25

976
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:10,400
students who had been suspended um and

977
00:41:08,119 --> 00:41:11,720
currently we're only at four so

978
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,200
definitely some increase there we

979
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:16,520
believe this progress is a result of

980
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:19,480
intentional efforts through our PBS and

981
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:21,160
oural program implementation restorative

982
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,400
practices and building a strong culture

983
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:27,400
of belonging to equity relationships and

984
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,400
Community Support at our school

985
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,319
um yeah one of the things that we're

986
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:38,280
really working hard on now is the um the

987
00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:39,760
attendance and our attendance protocols

988
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,680

send their kids to school and to offer

1009
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:31,839
support for tier three thanks to the CC

1010
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:35,160
sspp Grant we have the dean of students

1011
00:42:31,839 --> 00:42:36,640
me who provides individualized supports

1012
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,599
to students and families who are

1013
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,319
struggling uh to get to school

1014
00:42:38,599 --> 00:42:43,599
consistently um I have families who are

1015
00:42:41,319 --> 00:42:45,520
struggling to get to school and so I

1016
00:42:43,599 --> 00:42:47,680
have a case load of up to 15 kids at a

1017
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,280
time I work with them I make home visits

1018
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,599
I do phone calls I reach out to the

1019
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,040
parents I meet with the students we do

1020
00:42:51,599 --> 00:42:54,359
quite a bit of work just to make sure

1021
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,559
the kids get to school in time if

1022
00:42:54,359 --> 00:42:57,800
they're sick of course we want them to

1023
00:42:55,559 --> 00:43:01,280
stay home but um they're many other

1024
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:03,160
factors involved so um I think that's

1025
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:06,079
about it for that particular slide or

1026
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:08,880
for that part of my slide sorry we keep

1027
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:10,520
dancing around here uh through PBIS we

1028
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,040
have established clear behavioral

1029
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:15,000
expectations and strengthen

1030
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,359

1031
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,280

00:44:03,359 --> 00:44:07,119
week and then this year we're also we

1056
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,680
have started a service learning

1057
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:10,160
requirement for middle school students

1058
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,440
which encourages students to get back to

00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,640
their Community uh to assess School

1060
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,319
climate and belonging um our MTS

1061
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,319
leadership team um has developed a

1062
00:44:16,319 --> 00:44:21,079
universal secl screener because we like

1063
00:44:18,319 --> 00:44:23,880
data right results um have been overl

1064
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:26,599
overwhelmingly positive so far with 93%

1065
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,680
of students 85% of teachers and 75% of

1066
00:44:26,599 --> 00:44:31,359
parent supporting strong friendships at

1067
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:33,760
school 100% of teachers 90% of parents

1068
00:44:31,359 --> 00:44:36,359
and 85% of students believe teachers

1069
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:39,400
care about students and finally 86% of

1070
00:44:36,359 --> 00:44:41,160
students like the way they are um so as

1071
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,119
a community school we support families

1072
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,359
through the family center um expanding

1073
00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:48,119
service Safety Net services with a food

1074
00:44:45,359 --> 00:44:50,280
pantry Thrive program and a dedicated

1075
00:44:48,119 --> 00:44:52,359
family partner so we believe this

1076
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,599
relationship Ren approach has led to

1077
00:44:52,359 --> 00:44:56,680
fewer suspensions like we mentioned um

1078
00:44:54,599 --> 00:44:58,960
improved absenteeism and a strong School

1079
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:01,760
community where all students and Staff

1080
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,760
feel supported and

you can all read this of course but I'll

1083
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,920
read it out loud Anyway by June of 2027

00:45:18,079 --> 00:45:22,359
one level on the elpac each school year

1087
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,599

00:45:22,359 --> 00:45:26,160
assessment which actually we just

1089
00:45:23,599 --> 00:45:27,839
started yesterday I think for this year

1090
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,240
um we're going to re to increase our

1091
00:45:27,839 --> 00:45:33,000
reclassification rate to 20% and

1092
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:37,160
decrease our um at risk long-term

00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:45,440
hope okay we have already said all that

00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,760
let me go to the next slide if I can and

1097
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,640
you can see that um we've seen you know

1098
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:53,680
various levels of growth and decreases

1099
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:56,200
but um what you can see is that in um 1

1100
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,640
2 fifth and sixth grades um there was an

1101
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,040
increase a grow

1102
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:02,440
and there was a de there was decrease in

1103
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,200
third fourth 7th and eighth grades and

1104
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,920
we do speculate that there was a

1105
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,160
learning curve kind of adjusting to the

1106
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,119
new District ELD curriculum perhaps the

1107
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:13,319
group testing was not as effective

1108
00:46:10,119 --> 00:46:14,559
effective as we had hoped um Miss Gusman

1109
00:46:13,319 --> 00:46:16,040
will speak about what we were doing to

1110
00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:18,520
ensure that our students continue moving

1111
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,640
forward this year so if you can take a

1112
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:24,000
look at that you can see that

1113
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,839
um 80% of the kindergarteners showed at

1114
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,480
least one level of growth but there's

1115
00:46:25,839 --> 00:46:30,960
been some up and down but

1116
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,960
overall there's been growth

1117
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,880
so I'm going talk a little bit about um

1118
00:46:34,319 --> 00:46:38,160
how we support currently supporting our

1119
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,520
multilingual Learners um like we

1120
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:43,359
mentioned earlier 67% of our student

1121
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,599
population is are defined as English

1122
00:46:43,359 --> 00:46:47,760
language Learners uh so this year we

1123
00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:50,440
continue to strategically align our

1124
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,520
grade level uh schedules to ensure that

1125
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,000
designated ELD instruction um is

1126
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,280
effectively integrated across all

1127
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,359
Elementary classrooms and then in grades

1128
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,359
3 through

1129
00:46:57,359 --> 00:47:02,800
uh we are circling um and um groups are

1130
00:47:00,359 --> 00:47:04,359
tailored to students proficiency levels

1131
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,200
um additionally we are providing small

1132
00:47:04,359 --> 00:47:07,839
group pullout support um for our

1133
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,920
International students in grades three

1134
00:47:07,839 --> 00:47:11,559
through five uh while students in grades

1135
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,119
6 through eth are participating in our

1136
00:47:11,559 --> 00:47:15,400
newcomer Academy led by one of our

1137
00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:18,040
newcomer teachers uh currently we're

1138
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:20,359
also supporting um 91 recent

1139
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:23,079
International students um and so that

1140
00:47:20,359 --> 00:47:25,359
number also continues to grow each week

1141
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:26,920
last year um teachers across um all

1142
00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:28,599
grade levels have were implementing

1143
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,400
language power which is our new ELD

1144
00:47:28,599 --> 00:47:31,800
curriculum um to strengthen the

1145
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,680
foundational language skills for our

1146
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,240
English language Learners and then this

1147
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,319
year where we're refining those

1148
00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:39,319
instructional practices implementing the

1149
00:47:37,319 --> 00:47:41,400
curriculum with greater Fidelity and

1150
00:47:39,319 --> 00:47:42,720
incorporating TCM strategies learned

1151
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,800
through demo lessons and coaching

1152
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:47,920
sessions um with our uh tosa or coaches

1153
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,280
that are at our site um and then to

1154
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:53,880
further enhance um our instruction our

1155
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:55,720
El coach um Miss Luc Moreno um has been

1156
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,599

1157
00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:59,720
ensuring that te teachers have the

1158
00:47:57,599 --> 00:48:02,280

differentiate instruction effectively um

1160
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,839

receiving additional targeted support

1163
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:12,640
through U what we call Tig or targeted

1164
00:48:10,559 --> 00:48:14,079
instructional grouping um which meets

1165
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,240
four times a week where they're working

1166
00:48:14,079 --> 00:48:18,440
on strengthening uh phonics and reading

1167
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:20,000
comprehension skills by placing students

1168
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,559
in groups based again on their

1169
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:25,200
individual learning needs and so um with

1170
00:48:23,559 --> 00:48:29,599
these supports and interventions and

1171
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:30,800
coaching um we um continue to um um have

1172
00:48:29,599 --> 00:48:33,800
opportunities to develop language

1173
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:35,839
proficiency and academic sucess academic

1174
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:38,599
success among our multilanguage

1175
00:48:35,839 --> 00:48:38,599
multilanguage

1176
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:45,559
Learners thank you Mr Gomez all right

1177
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:48,040
and we're going to go on to uh elop goal

1178
00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:49,880
number three um and I will quickly

1179
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:54,480
summarize it because I'm sure you know

1180
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:59,160
it really well uh so again by um June of

1181
00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:03,440
27 we aim that for students to uh be at

1182
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:06,559
least a 4% annual increase in ela and in

1183
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:08,640
Ma and math sorry Ed math on I

1184
00:49:06,559 --> 00:49:10,880
additionally we set a goal for 20% of

1185
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:14,400
English Learners in grades 3rd through

1186
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:18,920
8th grade to meet an exceed standards in

1187
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,920
ela um and 16% in

1188
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:27,160
math there we go um our proficiency

1189
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:29,599
rates have declined in recent years due

1190
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:32,559
to changes in student demographics and

1191
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:34,520
an influx of guest teachers interns and

1192
00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:37,559
teachers new to the profession we still

1193
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:39,640
love we love you all um given the

1194
00:49:37,559 --> 00:49:42,119
factors giving these factors a

1195
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:45,359
short-term drop in the data is

1196
00:49:42,119 --> 00:49:46,880
inevitable unavoidable uh with 96% of

1197
00:49:45,359 --> 00:49:48,559
our students qualifying for free and

1198
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:52,040
reduced lunch and

1199
00:49:48,559 --> 00:49:54,559
182 self-reported mckinly vento cases

1200
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:58,640
we're actively working to meet the

1201
00:49:54,559 --> 00:49:58,640
diverse needs of our evolving

1202
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:08,920
population uh 177% of our economically

1203
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:12,760
disadvantaged students 4.8% of our

1204
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:17,920
English Learners and 17.5% of our latinx

1205
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,920
students met or exceeded proficiency on

1206
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:24,240
espec student performance um on the did

1207
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:27,200
I go there we go sorry student

1208
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:29,000
performance on The Fall I ready showed

1209
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:31,760
limited understanding of grade level

1210
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,760
standards and we used this data to

1211
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:38,000
inform the plc's and instructional

1212
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:38,000
practices for this school

1213
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:46,880
year um like in the area of ela our

1214
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,880
students have declined in

1215
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:53,640
math uh

1216
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:57,160
12% 12.5% of our economically

1217
00:50:53,640 --> 00:51:01,200
disadvantaged students 5%

1218
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:03,440
5.7% of our English Learners and 13.3%

1219
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:06,640
of our latinx students meant or exceeded

1220
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:12,359
Proficiency in math on the

1221
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:14,760
ESC and we see similar Trends um in math

1222
00:51:12,359 --> 00:51:18,040
as we do in

1223
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:23,599
ela we also believe that a cohort

1224
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:25,119
fluctuation um has something to do with

1225
00:51:23,599 --> 00:51:29,040
the

1226
00:51:25,119 --> 00:51:30,599
um with the the grade level um

1227
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,359
experience so when we had more

1228
00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:35,240
established grade levels teachers who

1229
00:51:32,359 --> 00:51:38,160
have who have been at Hoover who know

1230
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:41,319
the culture we have seen that students

1231
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:43,960
do better than when we have newer

1232
00:51:41,319 --> 00:51:46,160
cohorts or a group of teachers that is

1233
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,119
working together for the first

1234
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:52,520
time all

1235
00:51:48,119 --> 00:51:55,119
right and again in um on I ready we also

1236
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:58,319
saw limited uh growth and a huge

1237
00:51:55,119 --> 00:52:00,720
opportunity for us to help our students

1238
00:51:58,319 --> 00:52:00,720
reach

1239
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:08,400
proficiency all right so I have a lot to

1240
00:52:04,319 --> 00:52:10,799
say so bear with me um we we have worked

1241
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:14,240
very closely with our district coaches

1242
00:52:10,799 --> 00:52:17,240
with annaa um Katherine and of course

1243
00:52:14,240 --> 00:52:21,160
our site to come up with a comprehensive

1244
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:23,280
action plan um again with 96% of our

1245
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:25,280
students uh who are economically

1246
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:29,920
disadvantaged we Face significant

1247
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:33,160
challenges such as 20% chronic AP

1248
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:36,359
absenteeism rate a 13%

1249
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:39,520
self-identified housing in security this

1250
00:52:36,359 --> 00:52:41,680
is that we know of um and to address

1251
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:44,400
these issues we have adop adopted a

1252
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:47,400
multifaceted strategy that targets both

1253
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:50,240
academic and the whole child um we

1254
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:52,480
continue to emphasize phonics math and

1255
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:55,520
English language development curriculum

1256
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:58,119
that was introduced last year and due to

1257
00:52:55,520 --> 00:53:02,200
the shift in our teaching teacher

1258
00:52:58,119 --> 00:53:05,319
demographics 25 out of the 38 classroom

1259
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:10,280
teachers have been at Hoover less than

1260
00:53:05,319 --> 00:53:14,359
18 months um teachers are receiving

1261
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:17,920
additional excuse me support from our

1262
00:53:14,359 --> 00:53:20,200
literacy and ELD specialist osas and of

1263
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,960
course our wonderful District coaches

1264
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:25,799
that have just poured in so much support

1265
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:27,319
um to help us Implement our programs

for grades TK through 5 our

1268
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:33,640
instructional schedule has been designed

1269
00:53:31,359 --> 00:53:36,559
to include dedicated times for

1270
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:39,839
foundational skills small group

1271
00:53:36,559 --> 00:53:42,839
instructions and ELD ensuring dedicated

1272
00:53:39,839 --> 00:53:45,400
intervention periods so it's sacred time

1273
00:53:42,839 --> 00:53:48,920
every day that teachers

1274
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:52,359
follow each grade level circles for ELD

1275
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:55,079
and targeted reading groups for grades

1276
00:53:52,359 --> 00:53:58,200
first through fifth grade on a daily

1277
00:53:55,079 --> 00:54:00,040
basis um and we're also included fing

1278
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,880
instruction for students learning to

1279
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:05,079
read in grades 3rd through sixth grade

1280
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:07,720
additionally teachers are expected to

1281
00:54:05,079 --> 00:54:11,280
conduct math instruction in small groups

1282
00:54:07,720 --> 00:54:13,920
three times a week and this has been uh

1283
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:16,599
a little more challenging because our

1284
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:18,680
new math program uh is very different

1285
00:54:16,599 --> 00:54:21,319
for a lot of our folks so there there's

1286
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:23,160
a huge learning curve there and um we

1287
00:54:21,319 --> 00:54:26,520
are working very closely with them and

1288
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:29,119
they are eager and implementing and and

1289
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:32,119
teaching themselves how to do math the

1290
00:54:29,119 --> 00:54:34,559
new way um during targeted reading

1291
00:54:32,119 --> 00:54:38,559
instruction our reading specialist

1292
00:54:34,559 --> 00:54:41,680
suszie and our um District coach laa

1293
00:54:38,559 --> 00:54:44,319
pull groups which helps uh reduce the

1294
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:47,280
student to teacher ratio and facilitates

1295
00:54:44,319 --> 00:54:50,079
more personalized instruction our after

1296
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:53,960
school supports include cap tutoring air

1297
00:54:50,079 --> 00:54:57,000
reading Costco tutoring and uh after

1298
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:59,680
school teacher tutoring program

1299
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:02,599
our multi-tiered system of supports mtss

1300
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:05,599
Team U meets twice a month because we

1301
00:55:02,599 --> 00:55:08,359
have a lot of work to do uh for an hour

1302
00:55:05,599 --> 00:55:10,160
and a half each of those days and

1303
00:55:08,359 --> 00:55:12,720
focuses on our professional learning

1304
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:15,720
communities we have established regular

1305
00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:17,480
inquiry Cycles classroom walkthroughs

1306
00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:20,799
and goal setting meetings to track

1307
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:24,079
progress share best practices and adopt

1308
00:55:20,799 --> 00:55:26,119
interventions as necessary coaching at

1309
00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:28,000
both district and site levels ensures

1310
00:55:26,119 --> 00:55:30,240
that new and experienced teachers

1311
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:33,000
receive ongoing support to build

1312
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:35,680
effective instruction and differentiate

1313
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:38,799
learning practices moreover we have

1314
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:41,079
paired incoming teachers with coaches

1315
00:55:38,799 --> 00:55:43,760
these coaches model lessons facilitate

1316
00:55:41,079 --> 00:55:47,440
peer observations and engage in coaching

1317
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:51,119
Cycles centered on best practices so we

1318
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:53,760
are pouring in support to our teachers

1319
00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:55,799
so that we can build capacity and of

1320
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:58,359
course we have to recognize and

1321
00:55:55,799 --> 00:56:00,160
celebrate at our student achievement

1322
00:55:58,359 --> 00:56:02,799
because that's an intal part of

1323
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:05,799
motivating and fostering a positive

1324
00:56:02,799 --> 00:56:08,680
School culture uh we highlight growth

1325
00:56:05,799 --> 00:56:10,839
through student recognition for academic

1326
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:13,760

01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:19,079
year and um I've taught many many years

1477
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:22,160
and I just want to say this is the most

1478
01:03:19,079 --> 01:03:25,960
challenging job I've ever had in my

1479
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:29,119
career um and I feel um very compelled

1480
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:32,319
to just express my appreciation for um

1481
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:33,640
not just the administrative team who I I

1482
01:03:32,319 --> 01:03:35,319
don't know how they do all the things

1483
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:37,279
that they do there's never a time you'll

1484
01:03:35,319 --> 01:03:38,559
walk by one of their offices and they

1485
01:03:37,279 --> 01:03:43,039
don't have a child in there that they

1486
01:03:38,559 --> 01:03:46,079
are counseling or that they are

1487
01:03:43,039 --> 01:03:47,240
um reprimanding or that they're that

1488
01:03:46,079 --> 01:03:49,119
they're working with that they're

1489
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:51,880
helping that they're improving um

1490
01:03:49,119 --> 01:03:54,520
they're so dedicated to the kids um it's

1491
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:56,680
just very heartwarming but aside from

1492
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:59,240

um well good evening uh to everyone my

1544
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:08,839
name is lisabeth estada and to me as a

1545
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:12,279
Huber mother uh it's to uh value the

1546
01:09:08,839 --> 01:09:14,199
explicitly the develop you know the uh

1547
01:09:12,279 --> 01:09:17,319
how my children are developing on their

1548
01:09:14,199 --> 01:09:19,120
studies and depending on the level uh

1549
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:21,960
that you know that they get difficulties

1550
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:25,799
or that they're behind like they the

1551
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:29,080
teachers um uh work together to help

1552
01:09:25,799 --> 01:09:32,199
directly H to do the homework and to uh

1553
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:35,040
plan lessons and also to I don't want to

1554
01:09:32,199 --> 01:09:38,239
like I always want to mention also like

1555
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:40,679
the programs that we have after school

1556
01:09:38,239 --> 01:09:43,640
like for example Boys and Girls Club

1557
01:09:40,679 --> 01:09:46,640
that they are supporting they are giving

1558
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:48,159
materials and um

1559
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:51,000
effectively

1560
01:09:48,159 --> 01:09:53,359
emphasizing uh the studies and to me the

1561
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:56,400
emotional support that they have I've

1562
01:09:53,359 --> 01:09:59,080
seen it and that I perceived that that

1563
01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:01,239
it's that it's given for the teachers

1564
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:05,320
and they see like they they're always

1565
01:10:01,239 --> 01:10:07,719
willing uh to help their families and at

1566
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:11,000
the same times H that works for us

1567
01:10:07,719 --> 01:10:14,199
because that re that uh

1568
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:16,679
reinforces uh the behaviors and the

1569
01:10:14,199 --> 01:10:19,920
emotionals uh the emotions as well and

1570
01:10:16,679 --> 01:10:21,040
also the studies of our children and

1571
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:24,679
also you

1572
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:27,480
know uh you we always get possibly uh

1573
01:10:24,679 --> 01:10:29,320
positive input and you know the

1574
01:10:27,480 --> 01:10:34,159
participation that I have on my school

1575
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:37,280
Hoover is to uh to motivate parents uh

1576
01:10:34,159 --> 01:10:39,960
deeply that uh probably that they don't

1577
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:43,560
participate as much that you know to

1578
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:47,640
come to the educational center and to

1579
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:50,000
strengthen La um the the the activities

1580
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:52,640
on our schools and the education for our

1581
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:54,840
children so for those uh parents that

1582
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:57,000
don't do it as often so they could do it

1583
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:59,600
more often often so I always want to

1584
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:03,040
remind this the expectations that the

1585
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:05,880
parents have of for the schools you know

1586
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:07,480
they they take a play or they take a

1587
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,800
they take a part with you know it's

1588
01:11:07,480 --> 01:11:12,560
always a relationship family and School

1589
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:14,920
site and we always have to keep in mind

1590
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:17,960
that we are a community families and

1591
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:21,040
schools and we have to ask you know uh

1592
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:24,760
we have to ask for like Quality quality

1593
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:26,719

1594
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:30,280
for differences the individual

1595
01:11:26,719 --> 01:11:33,400

1609
01:12:05,159 --> 01:12:10,400
guys do at the school I don't know if my

1610
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:12,040
questions may be more for Anna but um

1611
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:14,040
you know you keep mentioning kind of the

1612
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:16,120
stability of the teaching cohort is

1613
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:18,360
hopefully having a bigger impact on on

1614
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:20,600
their impr academic success are we

1615
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:23,280
seeing that next year that kind of we're

1616
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:25,440
able to retain the teaching cohort at

1617
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:27,920
Hoover and are there things that we do

1618
01:12:25,440 --> 01:12:30,560
to kind of support them I would say

1619
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:32,000
Hoover in the last uh this year has had

1620
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:34,199
some a little bit more stability than

1621
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:35,440
the years of the past so she still has

1622
01:12:34,199 --> 01:12:37,960
some teachers that are returning but

1623
01:12:35,440 --> 01:12:39,480
she'll have some um not as many openings

1624
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,400
as she's had in the past so yeah this

1625
01:12:39,480 --> 01:12:45,639
we're hoping to build more stability

1626
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:47,239
with the teacher staying on yeah and I

1627
01:12:45,639 --> 01:12:51,080
have to say we're a family we're the

1628
01:12:47,239 --> 01:12:52,880
Hoover husky family uh and I I'm so for

1629
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:56,960
we are so fortunate to have such an

1630
01:12:52,880 --> 01:13:00,760
amazing hardworking dedicated ated staff

1631
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:03,600
I and we're very happy and proud that a

1632
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:05,679
majority of them will be

1633
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,360
returning then maybe my other questions

1634
01:13:05,679 --> 01:13:09,760
maybe maybe can be taken offline but I

1635
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:12,400
was wondering with the illustrative math

1636
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:16,440
is there less of a language component

1637
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:16,440
attached to to it

1638
01:13:17,159 --> 01:13:22,159
or um no there's not there's a lot of

1639
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:25,159
language and um and illustrative math

1640
01:13:22,159 --> 01:13:26,480
and this being really our first year um

1641
01:13:25,159 --> 01:13:28,760
I I say it our first year though we

1642
01:13:26,480 --> 01:13:31,040
started last year right our first year

1643
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:33,120
where we're really trying to really move

1644
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:37,520
um the curriculum along and the teachers

1645
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:40,040
are are still learning how to make sure

1646
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:41,679
um to use all the components that are

1647
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:43,159
important so they're still under you

1648
01:13:41,679 --> 01:13:45,880
know they're still learn there it's so

1649
01:13:43,159 --> 01:13:48,159
much language involved and the one thing

1650
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:50,480
that our students are at you know at

1651
01:13:48,159 --> 01:13:53,000
Hoover and not just Tob our our three

1652
01:13:50,480 --> 01:13:55,320
bilingual schools we made the choice

1653
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:57,440
because we have a 50-50 program to do do

1654
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,480
that in English versus Spanish in their

1655
01:13:57,440 --> 01:14:01,560
home

1656
01:13:58,480 --> 01:14:03,440
language um adalante does it all in

1657
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:06,000
Spanish and then transfers it over up in

1658
01:14:03,440 --> 01:14:08,000
the upper grades so we have chosen at

1659
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,840
these sites because of the type of model

1660
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:11,520
of bilingual program we do it in English

1661
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:13,320
so there has been some hiccups and

1662
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:15,320
there's some transitions a lot of math

1663
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,360
is has a lot of cognet so a lot of

1664
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:19,600
things is transferable but there's a lot

1665
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:21,719
of language involved in the thinking of

1666
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:24,320
it so our teachers like lupus said

1667
01:14:21,719 --> 01:14:26,800
earlier are still learning to teach in

1668
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:29,679
that because a lot of the the

1669
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:31,440
illustrative math is providing a problem

1670
01:14:29,679 --> 01:14:33,719
and not giving them the answer and

1671
01:14:31,440 --> 01:14:37,840
that's really difficult for teachers to

1672
01:14:33,719 --> 01:14:37,840
do they become facilitators

1673
01:14:38,159 --> 01:14:41,639
to supporting

1674
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,000
teachers

1675
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:56,080
know manipulate a little bit

1676
01:14:53,400 --> 01:15:00,040
more ins and outs of the curriculum

1677
01:14:56,080 --> 01:15:03,080
itself so ho team has very

1678
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:04,400
dedicated with our coach Anastasia who's

1679
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:07,199
been there a lot working with her

1680
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:09,560
teachers and implementing and supporting

1681
01:15:07,199 --> 01:15:11,760
them with the math

1682
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:13,239
curriculum great and I mean just getting

1683
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:17,520
the kids to school is the most important

1684
01:15:13,239 --> 01:15:17,520
thing so your climate numbers very

1685
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:28,520
commendable sure um well thank you for

1686
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:32,159
the three of you um I do appreciate your

1687
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:35,360
enthusiasm and your eagerness to help

1688
01:15:32,159 --> 01:15:38,520
all the students um I want to say I

1689
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:42,320
think besides going to Taft when Anna

1690
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:44,040
was there um when I visited Hoover a lot

1691
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:47,320
of the kids obviously I was walking with

1692
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:51,960
Lupe so you know I I didn't see you uh

1693
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:53,199
Josh and um I'm sorry Dave John Michael

1694
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:56,480
I was gonna call you Michael but I knew

1695
01:15:53,199 --> 01:15:59,840
that was the middle one um

1696
01:15:56,480 --> 01:16:02,440
students are very um you know oh miss

1697
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:06,040
Guzman you know so I do appreciate the

1698
01:16:02,440 --> 01:16:08,560
fact that students know who their

1699
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,159
principal is not just their teacher or

1700
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:12,600
the classified staff that works there so

1701
01:16:10,159 --> 01:16:16,480
it does make a big difference um and of

1702
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:18,400
course as much as the students there may

1703
01:16:16,480 --> 01:16:20,639
be struggling especially with all the

1704
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:22,440
English Learners that you're getting um

1705
01:16:20,639 --> 01:16:25,120
I was just gonna kind of ask a follow-up

1706
01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:26,480
question regarding the math because like

1707
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,960
what are we doing with those English

1708
01:16:26,480 --> 01:16:30,880
Learners especially when they're coming

1709
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:33,400
in with zero English right I mean it's

1710
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:36,440
just so hard so when we think about um

1711
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:40,600
and even just when

1712
01:16:36,440 --> 01:16:42,880
um oh my God I just lost M um Devin when

1713
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:44,840
he spoke about having 34 students in his

1714
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:47,760
classroom I mean we're talking 34

1715
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:51,400
students not 20 or 16 right it makes a

1716
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:55,040
really big difference so we we really

1717
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:58,239
I totally understand and I know that we

1718
01:16:55,040 --> 01:17:00,840
wish students were in a better place and

1719
01:16:58,239 --> 01:17:02,280
they will be but again we have to think

1720
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:05,040
about the struggles that the students

1721
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:07,360
are having and but again I appreciate

1722
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:09,840
the fact that you guys are a great team

1723
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,440
obviously really loving you just told

1724
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:13,120
everybody that you love them and so I

1725
01:17:11,440 --> 01:17:15,719
think that makes a big difference um I

1726
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:18,760
do know one of your newer teachers that

1727
01:17:15,719 --> 01:17:22,719
said she loves Hoover she's like this is

1728
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:25,280
so great our team um they're they pair

1729
01:17:22,719 --> 01:17:28,040
up with by grade and so she's like

1730
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:29,920
everybody just loves working together so

1731
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:33,960
you know know that I hear that outside

1732
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:35,280
of work too so I do appreciate it and so

1733
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,159
I I know you guys are working really

1734
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:41,120
hard obviously the

1735
01:17:37,159 --> 01:17:43,120
absenteeism Co took a big shift and so I

1736
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:46,080
know we're getting better and so I

1737
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:49,040
appreciate obviously we want the

1738
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:50,159
academic but you also make it fun to

1739
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,800
where they actually know they're going

1740
01:17:50,159 --> 01:17:55,840
to be recognized and so that says a lot

1741
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:58,400
I mean just like Larry mentioned um the

1742
01:17:55,840 --> 01:18:00,760
safety that's number one and so

1743
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:04,520
hopefully all that would play a part in

1744
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:06,280
moving our kids forward so thank you so

1745
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,120
just my follow-up question regarding

1746
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:10,400
obviously the math what are we doing

1747
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:13,560
with those English Learners obviously

1748
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:15,560
the math part it's a lot of English so

1749
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:18,280
our we're virate that a lot of our math

1750
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:20,199
has um we have the Spanish component is

1751
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:23,120
needed with some of those students but

1752
01:18:20,199 --> 01:18:26,159
we do have our newcomers especially Lupa

1753
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:28,320
has um a much more support as she does

1754
01:18:26,159 --> 01:18:30,040
have a high number of newcomers there so

1755
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,320
really trying to provide them what we're

1756
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:35,440
finding in math and not just this is in

1757
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:37,800
Middle School um we need to look at our

1758
01:18:35,440 --> 01:18:39,199
model because many of them are going to

1759
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,760
many different places and when you have

1760
01:18:39,199 --> 01:18:42,480
one instructional Aid and one teacher we

1761
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:44,040
can't so we have to figure that out and

1762
01:18:42,480 --> 01:18:46,000
Katherine and I are working on that for

1763
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:47,520
next year but definitely trying to

1764
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:50,080
figure out what does that look like in

1765
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:53,000
the Middle School versus math is very

1766
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:55,280
difficult if if a instructional Aid

1767
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:58,040
doesn't know the math so that's another

1768
01:18:55,280 --> 01:19:00,440
you know it's one more thing um I know

1769
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:03,480
Hoover has a very strong math team I've

1770
01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:05,239
been there and saw um have seen them um

1771
01:19:03,480 --> 01:19:07,679
they do a lot they've they've been able

1772
01:19:05,239 --> 01:19:09,080
to um actually one their science teacher

1773
01:19:07,679 --> 01:19:11,440
actually has a whole translation thing

1774
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:12,719
that really makees sure to include that

1775
01:19:11,440 --> 01:19:14,560
the students the new students that are

1776
01:19:12,719 --> 01:19:16,520
in the curriculum and have this like The

1777
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:18,480
Sciences in Spanish they have access to

1778
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:20,840
some of the math in Spanish so they've

1779
01:19:18,480 --> 01:19:22,800
been doing a lot at Hoover to really try

1780
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:24,520
to support the newcomers as much as

1781
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:27,760
possible to allow them to use their home

1782
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:29,120
Lang language um in the elementary level

1783
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:32,400
third fourth and fifth grade we have a

1784
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:34,440
lot other supports as well um in terms

1785
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,600
of she actually has another teacher

1786
01:19:34,440 --> 01:19:38,000
there this year and so we're looking at

1787
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,400
how they're they're supporting their

1788
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,440
students this year in some of those

1789
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:44,280
areas but we it just depends we have

1790
01:19:41,440 --> 01:19:46,800
kids who come in to Hoover with a lot of

1791
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:48,040
skills you know that have have had

1792
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,719
schoolly and then we have those who

1793
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,920
don't have schooling so we really worry

1794
01:19:49,719 --> 01:19:52,120
about the ones that don't have schooling

1795
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,600
because they have a lot more catchup to

1796
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:56,040
do and a lot more work to do with

1797
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:57,840
individualized instru

1798
01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:00,880
so I think one of the things that Miss

1799
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:02,760
Rivera and I are talking about um is how

1800
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,239
do we assess them when they come in so

1801
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:06,920
that we can make sure we're putting them

1802
01:20:04,239 --> 01:20:08,840
into the right supports um and doing

1803
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,239
that so we haven't been able to really

1804
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:13,040
assess them as coming but she's been

1805
01:20:10,239 --> 01:20:15,320
working on um some workshops that she's

1806
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:17,239
been attending that are giving us some

1807
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:19,199
some ways of assessing the kids so that

1808
01:20:17,239 --> 01:20:21,760
we have some snapshot about how we can

1809
01:20:19,199 --> 01:20:24,920
figure out the program for them to

1810
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:27,120
really help support their skills

1811
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:29,159
and then another thing is just kind of a

1812
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:30,960
thought I'm not the educator but I'm

1813
01:20:29,159 --> 01:20:33,480
just wondering like what are we doing as

1814
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:35,360
far as reaching out to the families of

1815
01:20:33,480 --> 01:20:37,400
those students and how they can help

1816
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,760
them because I know in the past as a

1817
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,679
matter of fact and I do want to say

1818
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:42,760
thank you to lisabeth for speaking up

1819
01:20:40,679 --> 01:20:44,639
she is one of our Spanish speaking

1820
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:46,960
superintendent advisory committee

1821
01:20:44,639 --> 01:20:48,159
members and she's been attending I don't

1822
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:50,320
know I think this is like her third year

1823
01:20:48,159 --> 01:20:53,159
and I know she's always at Hoover so I

1824
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:56,159
appreciate her um being here and

1825
01:20:53,159 --> 01:20:58,480
speaking um

1826
01:20:56,159 --> 01:21:01,080
we heard from one of the parents at one

1827
01:20:58,480 --> 01:21:05,239
point actually more than one parent um

1828
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:07,639
how our culturally the Latino Community

1829
01:21:05,239 --> 01:21:11,000
just expects their kids to have a lot of

1830
01:21:07,639 --> 01:21:12,840
homework and so a lot of the a few of

1831
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,679
the parents were actually wondering why

1832
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:17,400
some kids don't have as much homework

1833
01:21:14,679 --> 01:21:21,199
and I'm wondering if what are we doing

1834
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:24,040
to address those um issues with some of

1835
01:21:21,199 --> 01:21:26,880
those parents because if as a parent the

1836
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:29,239
student has coming in not maybe

1837
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:31,639
understanding the math are we telling

1838
01:21:29,239 --> 01:21:33,800
those parents don't be mad at your kid

1839
01:21:31,639 --> 01:21:35,920
please make sure to write your teacher

1840
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:37,400
back a note and I know that that's some

1841
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,760
of the things that we kind of learn as

1842
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:41,360
we go but just so that the poor kid is

1843
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:44,480
stressed out about learning a new

1844
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:46,400
language and going home to a mad parent

1845
01:21:44,480 --> 01:21:48,280
because they're not understanding the

1846
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:49,560
homework or something like that so I

1847
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,320
just want to throw it out there I'm sure

1848
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:53,639
you guys know what you're doing I just

1849
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:57,320
wanted to you know see what you're doing

1850
01:21:53,639 --> 01:21:57,320
and if we're doing the right

1851
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:02,760
thing so there are uh different things

1852
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:06,960
that we do part of our tutoring programs

1853
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:09,000
address our student our eel needs um we

1854
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:11,040
also have a lot of our teachers who are

1855
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:14,840
participating in the after school

1856
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:17,920
teacher program and they target the

1857
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:21,159
students who need the most support uh we

1858
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:24,679
have uh cap tutoring after school we

1859
01:22:21,159 --> 01:22:28,239
also have uh work with our parents so

1860
01:22:24,679 --> 01:22:30,360
that they can ACC access tutoring.com um

1861
01:22:28,239 --> 01:22:32,280
on the kids Chromebooks so they get that

1862
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:34,600
support we work with the library down

1863
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:36,960
the street uh so that the kids could go

1864
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:39,239
to the dropin center um we're actually

1865
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:43,080
right now working to get a cohort of our

1866
01:22:39,239 --> 01:22:45,280
eighth graders to become peer tutors um

1867
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:48,199
part of their service Community hours so

1868
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:51,280
that um they can then come back and

1869
01:22:48,199 --> 01:22:55,800
tutor our kids uh on campus so there

1870
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:58,880
different type of um ways to access

1871
01:22:55,800 --> 01:23:01,239
support for our families um and it has

1872
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:05,040
to be different for each child depending

1873
01:23:01,239 --> 01:23:09,080
on their need we know that some of our

1874
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:11,400
families you know have three jobs and I

1875
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:14,040
it's not an exaggeration and live in a

1876
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:17,440
household with 10 other people and

1877
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:21,040
they're on survival mode so it it's not

1878
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:22,639
Equitable to expect families to Pro help

1879
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:25,760
them with homework at that point because

1880
01:23:22,639 --> 01:23:29,440
they are surviving and

1881
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:31,480
the inverse triangle of trauma you know

1882
01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:33,480
working on homework is not a priority

1883
01:23:31,480 --> 01:23:35,280
all the time and we need to understand

1884
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:38,199
that and figure out how to support

1885
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:40,000
children at school uh we're very

1886
01:23:38,199 --> 01:23:43,120
fortunate and I'm I'm so sorry I didn't

1887
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:46,320
give you a shout out earlier uh bgcp and

1888
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:48,920
pal are essential in giving our kids a

1889
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:50,400
safe place a place where kids can do

1890
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,480
their homework I know they're not a

1891
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:54,840
homework completion program I would love

1892
01:23:52,480 --> 01:23:57,560
to figure out how to maybe we bring

1893
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:59,920
volunteers from high school pair them up

1894
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:02,639
and have high schoolers come volunteer

1895
01:23:59,920 --> 01:24:05,040
and do you know tutoring with our kidos

1896
01:24:02,639 --> 01:24:07,679
because our kiddos are with us till 5:30

1897
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:10,440
6 o' so by that time high schoolers can

1898
01:24:07,679 --> 01:24:11,679
come in um but you know that's one of

1899
01:24:10,440 --> 01:24:15,000
the things that I'm going to do when I

1900
01:24:11,679 --> 01:24:16,560
actually have time um anyways so there

1901
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:19,800
there are a lot of ideas we also work

1902
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:22,880
very closely with the community school

1903
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:25,239
um Partnerships and just thinking

1904
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:28,840
outside of the box how can we bring more

1905
01:24:25,239 --> 01:24:31,040
resources into our community at Hoover

1906
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:33,840
it is a safe place for our families it

1907
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:37,360
is a place where they know they can come

1908
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:38,600
and get support and so how do we Bridge

1909
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:42,400
more

1910
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:45,119
services and how do we reach more

1911
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:47,400
families and given the climate right now

1912
01:24:45,119 --> 01:24:50,040
how do we create an environment where

1913
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:51,960
they know that they can safely come to

1914
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:54,400
us and we can support

1915
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:57,840
them so sorry that was long-winded

1916
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,840
answer to to your

1917
01:24:59,679 --> 01:25:03,119
question I'll Echo some of what I think

1918
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:05,199
everyone's already thinking and has

1919
01:25:03,119 --> 01:25:07,679
already said but thank you all of you

1920
01:25:05,199 --> 01:25:10,080
for coming and for doing the work for

1921
01:25:07,679 --> 01:25:12,280
making the presentation um and for

1922
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:14,000
providing all the context uh behind what

1923
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:17,400
the school is all the populations you

1924
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:18,639
serve um as a former alternative ma math

1925
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,360
teacher I certainly understand the

1926
01:25:18,639 --> 01:25:22,679
challenges that come along with serving

1927
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:26,040
a high concentration of high needs

1928
01:25:22,679 --> 01:25:27,960
population so I know it is not easy um

1929
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:31,440
so again just really appreciate it want

1930
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:33,199
to acknowledge that um and I my

1931
01:25:31,440 --> 01:25:36,440
understanding too is that there are

1932
01:25:33,199 --> 01:25:38,360
several new members of the pack uh so

1933
01:25:36,440 --> 01:25:41,159
doing you know doing the work among that

1934
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:43,719
environment very difficult um so I

1935
01:25:41,159 --> 01:25:45,440
totally appreciate that uh and in

1936
01:25:43,719 --> 01:25:47,600
particular the the work on chronic

1937
01:25:45,440 --> 01:25:51,840
absenteeism the progress on suspensions

1938
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:53,960
and uh School climate all great um

1939
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:55,639
that's said I think under underlying a

1940
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,520
lot of the questions here and I think

1941
01:25:55,639 --> 01:25:58,520
I'm sure everyone you're aware is we

1942
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,800
also do want to make sure that we're

1943
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:02,719
focusing on the academic achievement

1944
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:05,000
results as well of course you need to

1945
01:26:02,719 --> 01:26:06,639
set the foundation right you can't teach

1946
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,280
unless you got the kids coming to school

1947
01:26:06,639 --> 01:26:10,159
so like totally get that but something

1948
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:13,920
that we definitely want to keep our eyes

1949
01:26:10,159 --> 01:26:15,880
on um I have one comment um which is

1950
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,199
kind of I think a mix uh for the

1951
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:18,440
district and and for the school and more

1952
01:26:17,199 --> 01:26:20,520
just broadly and then a couple of

1953
01:26:18,440 --> 01:26:23,239
questions on the comment this is more

1954
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:26,320
just on the presentation I I I find

1955
01:26:23,239 --> 01:26:28,600
myself struggling a little little bit to

1956
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:29,800
match let me take a step back I think

1957
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,880
what would be super helpful for me in

1958
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:34,600
the presentations and maybe for others

1959
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:36,400
would be to really get a good sense of

1960
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:39,639
what the concrete goals are for the

1961
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:41,440
specific school and then tie that to the

1962
01:26:39,639 --> 01:26:43,639
data pieces that we're seeing after that

1963
01:26:41,440 --> 01:26:45,199
right so I I know that we have our LC

1964
01:26:43,639 --> 01:26:48,040
cap goals we see those but and then they

1965
01:26:45,199 --> 01:26:50,040
just have specific metrics that go along

1966
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:52,280
with that at the district level but

1967
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:53,920
obviously we know that Hoover serving a

1968
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,800
different population from Roy Cloud for

1969
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,520
example and so I imagine that there's

1970
01:26:55,800 --> 01:27:00,600
going to be different independent goals

1971
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:02,400
that are set um and I know I I imagine

1972
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,239
that the sipsas are doing this I I'm

1973
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:06,280
still just catching up to speed and so I

1974
01:27:04,239 --> 01:27:07,400
don't know all the ins and outs but um

1975
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,960
it would be helpful for me to kind of

1976
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:12,239
see that of this is our specific goal at

1977
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:14,440
Hoover and the sypsa and then here's how

1978
01:27:12,239 --> 01:27:17,080
we're tracking along it it's just

1979
01:27:14,440 --> 01:27:19,119
helpful for for me to get a sense of do

1980
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:21,520
do we know what a clear vision of

1981
01:27:19,119 --> 01:27:24,320
success looks like in this specific

1982
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:26,920
environment um and is it sufficiently

1983
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:29,119
ambitious and specific while also being

1984
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:31,000
achievable right because like there's no

1985
01:27:29,119 --> 01:27:32,920
there's no benefit to setting goals that

1986
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:35,000
are unachievable right no one wants to

1987
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:36,760
be set up for failure so um that's kind

1988
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:38,600
of just my big thought uh that would be

1989
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,639
helpful uh in the presentations just

1990
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:42,320
generally just to make sure that we're

1991
01:27:39,639 --> 01:27:44,560
miroring that um and again I'm sure that

1992
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:47,320
I'm missing lots of context um so I

1993
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:50,600
appreciate the patience with people um

1994
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:52,639
getting me up to speed um the the two

1995
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:54,280
questions that I have and I know L

1996
01:27:52,639 --> 01:27:56,440
already you've already answered them but

1997
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,600
and it'll be a recurring theme but I

1998
01:27:56,440 --> 01:28:01,719
think it' be helpful for the board and

1999
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:04,600
the public to hear answers to are one um

2000
01:28:01,719 --> 01:28:06,080
what strategies specific or what

2001
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:07,719
specific strategy or support or

2002
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:10,679
characteristic are you finding is the

2003
01:28:07,719 --> 01:28:14,159
most supportive uh at Hoover in terms of

2004
01:28:10,679 --> 01:28:16,760
that translates to student academic and

2005
01:28:14,159 --> 01:28:17,960
Su and other success tied to our goals

2006
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:21,719
and then the flip side what are the

2007
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:25,480
major challenges that we as a board can

2008
01:28:21,719 --> 01:28:27,600
be mindful of in helping support

2009
01:28:25,480 --> 01:28:31,320
jump in

2010
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:35,159
um no offense to anyone

2011
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:36,760
we the the biggest challenge is having

2012
01:28:35,159 --> 01:28:39,719
experienced

2013
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:42,679
teachers um

2014
01:28:39,719 --> 01:28:45,840
who know the culture and know how to

2015
01:28:42,679 --> 01:28:50,000
work with our population and so we have

2016
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:52,159
amazing dedicated teachers that are

2017
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,840
interns guest

2018
01:28:52,159 --> 01:28:56,760
teachers um

2019
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:59,440
first second year

2020
01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:02,480
teachers teachers who have joined our

2021
01:28:59,440 --> 01:29:04,800
team in are coming from very different

2022
01:29:02,480 --> 01:29:05,719
type of communities and then we have our

2023
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:08,600
veteran

2024
01:29:05,719 --> 01:29:11,600
teachers and when you have 25 of your

2025
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:14,000
teachers that are new to your school

2026
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:16,320
there's definitely a learning curve not

2027
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:18,280
only in all the curriculum and and

2028
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:20,800
instructional strategies that are used

2029
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:23,360
that in our district and at our site but

2030
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:25,440
also just getting to know the community

2031
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,080
and getting to know your team and

2032
01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:29,639
developing your professional learning

2033
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:34,199
communities and

2034
01:29:29,639 --> 01:29:37,239
um it's a lot to ask in one year I think

2035
01:29:34,199 --> 01:29:40,600
down the line because we're a very tight

2036
01:29:37,239 --> 01:29:43,159
uh group of people and very hardworking

2037
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:44,920
and dedicating and just cramming in as

2038
01:29:43,159 --> 01:29:46,960
much information as we can into our

2039
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:49,360
brains we're going to get there it's

2040
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:53,360
going to take

2041
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:56,040
time and then on the flip side challeng

2042
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:56,040
the challenge

2043
01:29:57,239 --> 01:30:04,800
es I think one of our greatest

2044
01:30:01,239 --> 01:30:06,199
challenges is addressing the trauma in

2045
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:09,880
our

2046
01:30:06,199 --> 01:30:12,040
communities when our kids have food

2047
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:15,040
insecurities housing

2048
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:18,840
insecurities um when excuse me that's my

2049
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:22,520
alarm to put my children to bed sorry I

2050
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:25,960
silence my phone um there we

2051
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:25,960
go uh

2052
01:30:26,159 --> 01:30:32,639
so as I was saying when when we when our

2053
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:35,760
kids don't have their basic needs

2054
01:30:32,639 --> 01:30:37,119
met there's a big hurdle um and I think

2055
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:38,960
that's why the community school model is

2056
01:30:37,119 --> 01:30:41,800
so important because we have to address

2057
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:45,639
those needs when our kids come to school

2058
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:49,600
in clean clothes fed um they have slept

2059
01:30:45,639 --> 01:30:52,159
well um and are just they don't they can

2060
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:55,920
you know block out the noise then we can

2061
01:30:52,159 --> 01:30:59,280
get to work and when they come to

2062
01:30:55,920 --> 01:31:00,639
school disregulated because of X Y and Z

2063
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,840
then we need to address the social

2064
01:31:00,639 --> 01:31:05,360
emotional need first so that their brain

2065
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:05,360
is ready to

2066
01:31:07,119 --> 01:31:11,000
learn that that's very helpful on the

2067
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:13,000
strengths in particular and it's good to

2068
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:15,719
hear that we're we're optimistic about

2069
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:17,199
having greater stability um so I'm I'm

2070
01:31:15,719 --> 01:31:19,159
optimistic that'll translate and then on

2071
01:31:17,199 --> 01:31:21,760
the challenges uh that totally makes

2072
01:31:19,159 --> 01:31:23,000
sense and again I I think all of us are

2073
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:27,400
trying to be mindful of the ways that we

2074
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,400
can support those regards thank you

2075
01:31:29,159 --> 01:31:33,719
again um David did you want to make any

2076
01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:36,679
comments being just being mindful of the

2077
01:31:33,719 --> 01:31:38,719
time too both for you and for uh the um

2078
01:31:36,679 --> 01:31:40,960
you know the rest of the stuff pretty

2079
01:31:38,719 --> 01:31:42,960
late out east um thank you so much and

2080
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:45,440
it was great to come by Hoover to go and

2081
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:47,320
tour and talk with you about the school

2082
01:31:45,440 --> 01:31:48,600
about what's going on there I think it's

2083
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,520
great that we're getting students to

2084
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:52,600
show up and I think that the name of the

2085
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:55,239
game at this point is like you say

2086
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:57,600
experience teacher is uh investing in

2087
01:31:55,239 --> 01:32:00,080
those teachers and their training and

2088
01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:03,400
making sure that we can spend uh more

2089
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:05,320
time in in the classroom giving feedback

2090
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:07,960
uh to those teachers to continue to

2091
01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:11,080
invest in them and their Excellence so

2092
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:11,080
thank you for all you do for our

2093
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:20,639
kids all right um yeah okay great thank

2094
01:32:18,719 --> 01:32:22,199
you let's uh let's wrap up quickly first

2095
01:32:20,639 --> 01:32:23,639
I I don't think anyone acknowledge the

2096
01:32:22,199 --> 01:32:26,280
suspension numbers that's incredible to

2097
01:32:23,639 --> 01:32:28,280
change that's there and attributing that

2098
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:30,520
to really building that strong sense of

2099
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,880
belonging which is so important and we

2100
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:34,480
just talked about it today at the

2101
01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:36,199
chamber meeting um superintendent McGee

2102
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:39,560
was talking about it particularly with

2103
01:32:36,199 --> 01:32:41,679
like the the you call it euphemistically

2104
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:43,840
climate change but some of the really

2105
01:32:41,679 --> 01:32:46,119
aggressive changes in policy that are

2106
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:48,679
are just so hurtful um knowing that

2107
01:32:46,119 --> 01:32:51,199
there are adults that care at school and

2108
01:32:48,679 --> 01:32:53,400
making sure that kids love school is

2109
01:32:51,199 --> 01:32:54,920
really just a top top priority and I'm

2110
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:57,480
glad to see that you're focused on it

2111
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:59,960
one of my things that I dislike about

2112
01:32:57,480 --> 01:33:02,080
the presentations that we get here is

2113
01:32:59,960 --> 01:33:03,960
that percent met does not take into

2114
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:07,159
consideration at all where the students

2115
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:09,159
come from E on each given day or in each

2116
01:33:07,159 --> 01:33:12,239
given year or even each given week for

2117
01:33:09,159 --> 01:33:13,639
them uh time by time and so it's it's a

2118
01:33:12,239 --> 01:33:15,239
I'm very glad that you're data driven

2119
01:33:13,639 --> 01:33:16,719
and I know you're looking at more data

2120
01:33:15,239 --> 01:33:19,360
than just the stuff that's presented

2121
01:33:16,719 --> 01:33:21,159
here um but it doesn't tell the whole

2122
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:22,760
story and we know that um so thank you

2123
01:33:21,159 --> 01:33:25,719
for coming and sharing some of that

2124
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:29,360
whole story uh and the last thing is um

2125
01:33:25,719 --> 01:33:30,800
I to hear you loud and clear uh with it

2126
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:32,639
doesn't matter how experienced the

2127
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:35,320
teacher is if they're turning over at

2128
01:33:32,639 --> 01:33:37,400
that rate um we need to find find a way

2129
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:42,320
like to creatively find ways to bring

2130
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:44,440
some stability to to Staffing so that um

2131
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:47,760
they can get the Reps right the year

2132
01:33:44,440 --> 01:33:49,080
aftere reps of doing it um it it takes a

2133
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:50,560
couple reps to be able to get through a

2134
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:53,000
new curriculum a new school a new

2135
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:54,719
classroom and a new teaching team um and

2136
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:56,400
even when one teach changes it changes

2137
01:33:54,719 --> 01:33:58,840
the team and so I think that's an

2138
01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:00,159
important part uh Dr Baker I don't know

2139
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,840
if you had any closing comments and then

2140
01:34:00,159 --> 01:34:03,159
we can move on make a quick so that

2141
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,520
because I know we have to go in all

2142
01:34:03,159 --> 01:34:05,760
three of you thank you so much and I

2143
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,320

you want put the little ones to bed and

2145
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,440
I had agreed that you would be out of

2146
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:14,080
here by that time but I'm so sorry I'm

2147
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:15,719

you know you you are moving forward and

2149
01:34:15,719 --> 01:34:19,040
I know there are some challenges but the

2150
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,560
work that you're doing with the

2151
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:22,560
professional learning communities with

2152
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:24,760
your teachers and the goals that you're

2153
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:26,639
creating are something that I think

2154
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:29,000
going to be very beneficial in moving

2155
01:34:26,639 --> 01:34:31,880
that needle she has taken it with with

2156
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:34,080
John Michael and with dinora I believe

2157
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:35,840
and also with you Josh to make sure that

2158
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,679
teachers are meeting at grade level

2159
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:39,960
coming up with goals for what's going to

2160
01:34:37,679 --> 01:34:41,600
happen and move it how to move the

2161
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:44,000
children forward and you're looking at

2162
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:46,000
data more often than you have in the

2163
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:48,080
past so I'm sure that's going to also

2164
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:51,040
help so with that being said thank you

2204
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:30,920
goal number one I'm going to keep going

2205
01:36:28,440 --> 01:36:34,239
um we'll get it um you guys know what

2206
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:37,520
goal number one is and um we are going

2207
01:36:34,239 --> 01:36:40,360
to look at our data so first up is the

2208
01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:42,520
um chronic absenteeism um you'll notice

2209
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:44,119
that throughout the couple the years and

2210
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:47,000
the different data points that we're

2211
01:36:44,119 --> 01:36:50,719
looking at our data kind of es and flows

2212
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:54,840
so our goal is really to kind of look at

2213
01:36:50,719 --> 01:36:57,400
sure yep there we go um our goal is to

2214
01:36:54,840 --> 01:37:00,040
to really think through these practices

2215
01:36:57,400 --> 01:37:02,560
and um stop that kind of EB and flow and

2216
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:05,520
really kind of uh work on trending up if

2217
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:07,880
the trend up is positive or down if the

2218
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:10,280
positive trend is going down um and so

2219
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:12,320
for our chronic absenteeism you know as

2220
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:15,360
you can see we hit kind of a high Mark

2221
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:16,800
in uh 2122 it's gone um down with a

2222
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:19,840
little bit you know we're trending a

2223
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:21,840
little up this year um some things to

2224
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:24,400
keep in mind in terms of how we are

2225
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:29,320
addressing our chronic abs

2226
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:31,159
absenteeism um is uh let me oh so here's

2227
01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:34,719
another representation of our different

2228
01:37:31,159 --> 01:37:38,040
student groups um that you're seeing

2229
01:37:34,719 --> 01:37:39,880
there one of the ways in which um or let

2230
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:43,440
me just s talk about the trends just

2231
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:46,920
quickly is the trend suggests increasing

2232
01:37:43,440 --> 01:37:50,440
um uh increasing need for that

2233
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:52,639
connection um this also shows our

2234
01:37:50,440 --> 01:37:54,119
suspension rates so our numbers have

2235
01:37:52,639 --> 01:37:56,400
started out that are numbers have kind

2236
01:37:54,119 --> 01:37:59,080
of really wavered in very low

2237
01:37:56,400 --> 01:38:01,040
percentages um and while they maintain

2238
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:05,560
at low percentages we want to keep

2239
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:07,880
lowering them um we really do try to um

2240
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:09,960
address some of our behavioral um

2241
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:12,119
concerns and needs with restorative

2242
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:14,080
practices kind of the educational

2243
01:38:12,119 --> 01:38:16,960
approach but of course as we know that

2244
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:19,960
sometimes um an appropriate response is

2245
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:25,239
is a suspension um but we do continue to

2246
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:25,239
keep our suspension rates um quite low

2247
01:38:26,639 --> 01:38:31,119
all right so let's talk about what are

2248
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:34,320
ways in which we are addressing our

2249
01:38:31,119 --> 01:38:36,520
chronic absenteeism suspension rates um

2250
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:39,400
and just overall climate and culture of

2251
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:40,960
our school um so Roy Cloud's commitment

2252
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:43,199
uh to Social and emotional support

2253
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:45,920
attendance and discipline goals are um

2254
01:38:43,199 --> 01:38:47,920
as followed uh we are actively

2255
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:50,520
addressing our district gride goals

2256
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:53,159
through implementation of the mtss um

2257
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:55,239
systems of support we look through mtss

2258
01:38:53,159 --> 01:38:57,639
and a multitude of ways one is through

2259
01:38:55,239 --> 01:39:00,199
our academics really focusing on that

2260
01:38:57,639 --> 01:39:03,119
tier one universal instruction we are

2261
01:39:00,199 --> 01:39:05,719
also looking through Mt uh we're looking

2262
01:39:03,119 --> 01:39:07,800
at mtss through the LI through the lens

2263
01:39:05,719 --> 01:39:09,080
of diversity equity and inclusion and

2264
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:11,159
what that looks like for each of our

2265
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:13,440
individual students we have an

2266
01:39:11,159 --> 01:39:14,920
implementation of a schoolwide seal

2267
01:39:13,440 --> 01:39:17,159
program through the character strong

2268
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:19,800
curriculum that Fosters empathy

2269
01:39:17,159 --> 01:39:23,639
self-awareness and resilience we have

2270
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:25,920
our Liv School PBIS tracker and incen

2271
01:39:23,639 --> 01:39:28,320
system and for our our younger um

2272
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:30,800
Scholars the bolt buuck system that

2273
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:33,040
encourages positive behavior and student

2274
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:34,199
engagement through enforcing uh these

2275
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:36,920
enforcing

2276
01:39:34,199 --> 01:39:39,520
strategies we engage in culturally

2277
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:42,000
responsive teaching practices focusing

2278
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:43,920
on the pedagogy of confidence um

2279
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:46,080
representation uh providing

2280
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:48,480
representation and student engagement in

2281
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:49,520
the classes and to embed those in our

2282
01:39:48,480 --> 01:39:52,760
daily

2283
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:55,480
instruction um a couple years ago we uh

2284
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:58,239
engaged in a Dei or diversity equity and

2285
01:39:55,480 --> 01:40:01,119
inclusion literat literature lift that

2286
01:39:58,239 --> 01:40:03,800
it was supported by our PTO um to

2287
01:40:01,119 --> 01:40:06,800
encourage that representation um within

2288
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:08,719
our um within our literature our goal

2289
01:40:06,800 --> 01:40:10,360
was to make sure that our Scholars no

2290
01:40:08,719 --> 01:40:12,080
matter what book they were checking out

2291
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:15,239
of the library or in their classrooms or

2292
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:17,639
reading as a novel study showed um an

2293
01:40:15,239 --> 01:40:20,520
example of themselves and their peers um

2294
01:40:17,639 --> 01:40:23,480
in the characters in the book um this

2295
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:26,000
year we are engaging in a district ride

2296
01:40:23,480 --> 01:40:28,199
PLC to really look at um some of our

2297
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:32,199
academic data and to create some smart

2298
01:40:28,199 --> 01:40:34,360
goals Roy Cloud also has a separate PLC

2299
01:40:32,199 --> 01:40:37,360
um that's around climate and culture so

2300
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:40,560
we meet regularly um and that and one of

2301
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:42,480
the um plc's is to look specifically at

2302
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:45,119
the types of representation that are in

2303
01:40:42,480 --> 01:40:48,000
our books um so that we are reaching all

2304
01:40:45,119 --> 01:40:50,360
of our Scholars we have um wholes School

2305
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:52,639
real outs that feature um different

2306
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:55,239
literature uh that and reinforces

2307
01:40:52,639 --> 01:40:57,080
diversity kindness and respect um I want

2308
01:40:55,239 --> 01:40:59,360
to give a shout out to our TK team they

2309
01:40:57,080 --> 01:41:01,480
were the ones I did want just you know I

2310
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:03,320
I just wanted to reach the students so I

2311
01:41:01,480 --> 01:41:04,920
did a recording of a book that was

2312
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:07,040
timely of some of the topics we were

2313
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:08,960
addressing in our seal and they came to

2314
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:11,080
me and they said you know that was

2315
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:13,679
amazing and I like we saw the ters they

2316
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:15,639
were like we saw you on the TV so we

2317
01:41:13,679 --> 01:41:18,440
continued to do that just as a way for

2318
01:41:15,639 --> 01:41:20,639
us to reach our Scholars um and to show

2319
01:41:18,440 --> 01:41:22,760
this kind of communal aspect and this

2320
01:41:20,639 --> 01:41:23,840
communal approach in supporting our

lessons from learning for justice and

2403
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:29,679
Zetta Hammond's resources to build

discipline and behavior um approaches

2406
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:36,880
resources we've used from Hammond have

2407
01:44:34,639 --> 01:44:38,679
allowed our staff to pause and consider

2408
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,800
the equity we hold to provide to our

2409
01:44:38,679 --> 01:44:43,520
Scholars and families and to really

2410
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:46,040
reflect on the practices um and look for

01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:48,320
ways to enhance and improve in addition

2412
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:50,080
these resources we are also continuing

2413
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:52,520
to use the pedagogy of confidence that

2414
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:54,400
was introduced to us a couple years ago

2415
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:56,119
um through thinking maps and practices

2416
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,639
we find that these resources support our

2417
01:44:56,119 --> 01:44:59,920
Scholars taking ownership of their

2418
01:44:57,639 --> 01:45:03,080

that inclusivity and

2423
01:45:09,719 --> 01:45:14,840
empathy um so ways that we are

2424
01:45:12,119 --> 01:45:17,119
addressing our attendance um much like a

2425
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:20,080
lot of our schools we are engaging in

2426
01:45:17,119 --> 01:45:22,520
that personalized um that personalized

2427
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:24,719
support um we spend a lot of time

2428
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:26,760
calling families seeing if they need

2429
01:45:24,719 --> 01:45:29,320
additional resources or supports to get

2430
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:31,360
their child to school um and then we

2431
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:33,159
also we also do home visits you know

2432
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:35,840
some of our schools uh some of our

2433
01:45:33,159 --> 01:45:38,320
Scholars they live around I have walked

2434
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:41,080
to a to a house or two to help get our

2435
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:42,840
Scholars to school um we also do fun

2436
01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:44,760
attendance challenges we are currently

2437
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:47,119
in one for the month of February we have

2438
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:49,599
found we did one in September that was

2439
01:45:47,119 --> 01:45:52,360
very successful um we I think our

2440
01:45:49,599 --> 01:45:53,920
students love a good challenge um and a

2441
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:56,360
friendly comp competition between the

2442
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:58,119
grades um and it also helps that there's

2443
01:45:56,360 --> 01:46:00,040
um an incentive at the end of the month

2444
01:45:58,119 --> 01:46:02,560
so we will continue to do those as well

2445
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:05,599
because they do show um improvements in

2446
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:07,840
our attendance records for Middle School

2447
01:46:05,599 --> 01:46:10,199
um we at the beginning of the school

2448
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:12,360
year we had an interactive review of our

2449
01:46:10,199 --> 01:46:14,000
handbook and expectations one of the

2450
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:15,880
things we really want to do is for all

2451
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:17,920
of our Scholars but really the leaders

2452
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:19,239
of our school our middle schoolers is to

2453
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:21,159
make sure that they are set up for

2454
01:46:19,239 --> 01:46:22,599
success and we're front-loading a lot of

2455
01:46:21,159 --> 01:46:24,639
our expectations because when you know

2456
01:46:22,599 --> 01:46:26,599
your expectations you know you know how

2457
01:46:24,639 --> 01:46:28,080
to address them and so what they did in

2458
01:46:26,599 --> 01:46:30,280
their home rooms is they took each

2459
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:33,280
section of the of the handbook and then

2460
01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:35,400

Cloud yeah it's a little

2673
01:54:32,560 --> 01:54:37,400
tricky that way okay oh okay I was

2674
01:54:35,719 --> 01:54:42,199
pointing it over there too but that

2675
01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:42,199
doesn't seem to be working oh well wait

2676
01:54:42,239 --> 01:54:46,800
minute okay there we are okay um the

2677
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:49,199
graph illustrates the percentage of

2678
01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:51,560
students who increased by at least one

2679
01:54:49,199 --> 01:54:53,440
level on the lpac assessment across

2680
01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:58,599
different grade level for the academic

2681
01:54:53,440 --> 01:55:00,599
years 2021 22 22 23 and 23 24 what's

2682
01:54:58,599 --> 01:55:02,639
important to note is that our emerging

2683
01:55:00,599 --> 01:55:05,239
multilingual learner numbers are

2684
01:55:02,639 --> 01:55:07,679
relatively low last year we have just

2685
01:55:05,239 --> 01:55:09,360
shy of 20 Scholars this year it's

2686
01:55:07,679 --> 01:55:11,679
important to know that we have increased

2687
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:13,239
our number of Scholars and thus have

2688
01:55:11,679 --> 01:55:15,920
increased the number of emerging

01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:31,599
students increase by at least one lpac

2694
01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:34,159

01:55:31,599 --> 01:55:35,599
50% of Scholars improving what's

2696
01:55:34,159 --> 01:55:39,679
important to note is that we have very

2697
01:55:35,599 --> 01:55:42,440
few Scholars uh sixth grade 2324 had 20%

2698
01:55:39,679 --> 01:55:45,199
of students increase their lpac level

2699
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:47,360
while we did not meet our goal We are

2700
01:55:45,199 --> 01:55:49,280

01:56:27,599 --> 01:56:32,560
strengthen family engagement strategies

2720
01:56:29,599 --> 01:56:36,239
to reinforce language learning at

2721
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:37,800
home um yeah and then some other things

2722
01:56:36,239 --> 01:56:39,719
that we're doing you want to talk about

2723
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:41,840
that okay

2724
01:56:39,719 --> 01:56:43,320
yeah um some of the things that we've

2725
01:56:41,840 --> 01:56:45,159
done kind of behind the scenes we were

2726
01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:47,960
talking about that design thinking

2727
01:56:45,159 --> 01:56:50,400
process in terms of really learning um

2728
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:53,760
the individual um supports that are

2729
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:55,560
emerging multilinguals um um you know it

2730
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:56,920
would benefit them more so that's down

2731
01:56:55,560 --> 01:56:59,000
at the bottom here and we have our

2732
01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:01,480
language power our student Shadow

2733
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:03,119
program what we did was our um our grade

2734
01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:04,880
level teams kind of worked together to

2735
01:57:03,119 --> 01:57:07,119
see who would be the representative of

2736
01:57:04,880 --> 01:57:09,159
the grade level who would shadow um a

2737
01:57:07,119 --> 01:57:10,840
student um it started out where we were

2738
01:57:09,159 --> 01:57:12,159
going to have them Shadow the student

2739
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:13,719
that was in their grade but then they

2740
01:57:12,159 --> 01:57:15,960
all got kind of creative and they asked

2741
01:57:13,719 --> 01:57:17,840
if they could go and see some of the um

2742
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:19,840
some of the students that they used to

2743
01:57:17,840 --> 01:57:21,800
teach and I was like let's run with it

2744
01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:23,599
and do that um and we still collected

2745
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:26,960
some really great data and so these were

2746
01:57:23,599 --> 01:57:29,079
kind of the um the uh outcome of the

2747
01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:30,880
student empathy interview data um those

2748
01:57:29,079 --> 01:57:33,040
are the questions that we talked about

2749
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:34,840
we engaged with and like um Jason said

2750
01:57:33,040 --> 01:57:36,079
we it really did inform our practice for

2751
01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:39,880
this

2752
01:57:36,079 --> 01:57:45,360
year all right thank you well done on

2753
01:57:39,880 --> 01:57:49,800
that okay lcap goal three um so here is

2754
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:53,760
our goal um for um for really looking at

2755
01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:57,199
Ela and math um let's jump into the data

2756
01:57:53,760 --> 01:58:00,360
all right so um some strategies that

2757
01:57:57,199 --> 01:58:04,040
we've put in place to address our El Ela

2758
01:58:00,360 --> 01:58:07,320
go goals um as you can see we um we kind

2759
01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:11,719
of ramped up in around 2019 and we've

2760
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:14,679
kind of wavered in that that high 60s um

2761
01:58:11,719 --> 01:58:16,840
percentile it's not our goal but we are

2762
01:58:14,679 --> 01:58:19,719
definitely putting in some things um

2763
01:58:16,840 --> 01:58:22,560
this year to really uh address um the

2764
01:58:19,719 --> 01:58:25,079
goal that we have set for oursel um I do

2765
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:27,480
want to to thank the district in terms

2766
01:58:25,079 --> 01:58:29,760
of the the PLC that you guys created for

2767
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:32,599
us because it has really provided a lot

2768
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:34,280
of really great conversations um around

2769
01:58:32,599 --> 01:58:36,599
what the needs are for our Scholars and

2770
01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:38,599
allowed us to um take our time looking

2771
01:58:36,599 --> 01:58:40,679
at the data and creating those smart

2772
01:58:38,599 --> 01:58:42,920
goals so some of the things that we've

2773
01:58:40,679 --> 01:58:45,800
done I think you can go to the next one

2774
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:47,840
oh here's um just a different look um at

2775
01:58:45,800 --> 01:58:51,280
some of our student

2776
01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:53,400
groups and how they're performing in ela

2777
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:56,239
and here's um another group so you'll

2778
01:58:53,400 --> 01:59:00,840
see that our current um eighth grade is

2779
01:58:56,239 --> 01:59:05,079
performing in ela just shy of our goal

2780
01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:07,280
next one and here's our I ready so our

2781
01:59:05,079 --> 01:59:11,280
students um our students are performing

2782
01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:14,400
quite well in I ready we do find um that

2783
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:16,280
uh from the fall um assessments to the

2784
01:59:14,400 --> 01:59:19,040
spring there's a quite a significant

2785
01:59:16,280 --> 01:59:22,239
jump um which we are very proud of with

2786
01:59:19,040 --> 01:59:22,239
our Scholars

2787
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:26,599
all right and here's math let's before

2788
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:28,360
we go can you go back one more before we

2789
01:59:26,599 --> 01:59:31,520
jump into math I want to talk about our

2790
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:32,760
what we're doing and with Ela so um some

2791
01:59:31,520 --> 01:59:36,599
of the things that we're doing to

2792
01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:38,360
address our Ela El Ela goals uh is to

2793
01:59:36,599 --> 01:59:41,520
engage in holistic writing assessments

2794
01:59:38,360 --> 01:59:43,880
more frequently we just did our fibs we

2795
01:59:41,520 --> 01:59:46,400
found that while this did give us a

2796
01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:49,280
little bit of data we wanted more data

2797
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:52,280
so we decided to do a whole school um

2798
01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:56,480
writing assessment really from kinder on

2799
01:59:52,280 --> 02:00:00,000
eth um focusing on um opinion persuasive

2800
01:59:56,480 --> 02:00:01,560
and argumentative we find that um in the

2801
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:03,560
real world we really want our students

2802
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:06,480
to find their voice and what better way

2803
02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:08,360
to practice than with an opinion um uh

2804
02:00:06,480 --> 02:00:09,920
persuasive and argumentative essay so

2805
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:12,760
they just did that and our teachers

2806
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:14,760
currently are in the process of um doing

2807
02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:16,960
a holistic scoring where they're looking

2808
02:00:14,760 --> 02:00:19,599
at all of the students in their grade um

2809
02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:21,280
and that's really informing our practice

2810
02:00:19,599 --> 02:00:24,079
uh we are supporting Early Elementary

2811
02:00:21,280 --> 02:00:26,239
teachers with our hegerty phonic um

2812
02:00:24,079 --> 02:00:27,719
program we have small group instruction

2813
02:00:26,239 --> 02:00:29,400
support from our reading intervention

2814
02:00:27,719 --> 02:00:32,000
teacher I just want to pause and give

2815
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:33,760
our reading teacher Moren mCP a shout

2816
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:35,920
out for the work and support she is

2817
02:00:33,760 --> 02:00:38,079
providing not just to our Scholars um

2818
02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:40,639
but also to our teachers we were talking

2819
02:00:38,079 --> 02:00:43,320
about the Roy Cloud specific PLC in one

2820
02:00:40,639 --> 02:00:45,520
of those groups is around small group

2821
02:00:43,320 --> 02:00:47,320
instruction and how this approach um to

2822
02:00:45,520 --> 02:00:49,880
learning can support Scholars progress

2823
02:00:47,320 --> 02:00:51,520
and growth um in middle school we

2824
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:53,800
reconfigured our schedule to ensure

2825
02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:55,840
scholar and teachers have time to slow

2826
02:00:53,800 --> 02:00:57,920
down the instruction with longer periods

2827
02:00:55,840 --> 02:01:00,360
and more Universal supports to provide

2828
02:00:57,920 --> 02:01:04,400
better access for things like novel

2829
02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:07,400
studies um and provide curriculum um

2830
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:09,880
with audiobooks and Bookshare um just to

2831
02:01:07,400 --> 02:01:11,639
increase that that access um for our

2832
02:01:09,880 --> 02:01:14,079
Scholars our third through fifth grade

2833
02:01:11,639 --> 02:01:17,119
teachers have encou um engaged in

2834
02:01:14,079 --> 02:01:18,840
learning more about literacy circles or

2835
02:01:17,119 --> 02:01:21,280
as the um fourth graders are call them

2836
02:01:18,840 --> 02:01:23,599
their book clubs which I love um with

2837
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:25,800
the support of of of the administration

2838
02:01:23,599 --> 02:01:27,560
we've gone in and modeled best practices

2839
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:29,159
on how to engage with the scholars with

2840
02:01:27,560 --> 02:01:31,560
this approach and it's been really

2841
02:01:29,159 --> 02:01:33,079
successful and so while we modeled it

2842
02:01:31,560 --> 02:01:34,679
they then have taken the Reign and it's

2843
02:01:33,079 --> 02:01:36,000
been really great to go in and see what

2844
02:01:34,679 --> 02:01:38,239
they've been what they've been doing

2845
02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:40,679
with their literacy

2846
02:01:38,239 --> 02:01:44,320
circles um what's important to note back

2847
02:01:40,679 --> 02:01:46,079
at our data is um that last year with

2848
02:01:44,320 --> 02:01:47,920
the addition of a middle school SLC

2849
02:01:46,079 --> 02:01:50,079
class our goals were to support our

2850
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:51,480
Scholars individual learning plans that

2851
02:01:50,079 --> 02:01:52,360
best support their access to their

2852
02:01:51,480 --> 02:01:54,360
learning

2853
02:01:52,360 --> 02:01:55,960
we learned a lot about best practices

2854
02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:58,159
around supporting Middle School Scholars

2855
02:01:55,960 --> 02:02:01,480
especially in this SLC class and the

2856
02:01:58,159 --> 02:02:03,639
supportive impact that a hybrid model um

2857
02:02:01,480 --> 02:02:06,119
of part-time SLC and part-time general

2858
02:02:03,639 --> 02:02:07,760
education can have on a scholar um it

2859
02:02:06,119 --> 02:02:09,960
provides an increased opportunity for

2860
02:02:07,760 --> 02:02:12,119
engaging with peers additional supports

2861
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:14,199
for both an SLC teacher and the general

2862
02:02:12,119 --> 02:02:16,000
education teachers and an increased

2863
02:02:14,199 --> 02:02:17,440
pride and attention to work we're

2864
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:20,400
hopeful that with our second year this

2865
02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:22,639
is our second year with our um SLC class

2866
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:25,040
um that these Scholars will continue to

2867
02:02:22,639 --> 02:02:26,880
thrive and grow in the areas of ela now

2868
02:02:25,040 --> 02:02:28,280
that all of our staff is well versed in

2869
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:30,960
supporting these Scholars and that

2870
02:02:28,280 --> 02:02:34,880
Scholars are comfortable um in with the

2871
02:02:30,960 --> 02:02:34,880
how we do things in middle school at Roy

2872
02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:40,520
Cloud um and then back to our going back

2873
02:02:38,440 --> 02:02:43,119
to our data in terms of seeing the

2874
02:02:40,520 --> 02:02:44,599
eighth graders almost at our goal um

2875
02:02:43,119 --> 02:02:46,159
with the exception of the current

2876
02:02:44,599 --> 02:02:47,960
seventh grade we have observed an

2877
02:02:46,159 --> 02:02:50,040
increase in our data with Scholars who

2878
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:52,840
have who have met or exceeded grade

2879
02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:54,760
level expectations especially in Ela

2880
02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:56,679
yeah it's back a little bit that's okay

2881
02:02:54,760 --> 02:02:59,000
um with new practices in place we hope

2882
02:02:56,679 --> 02:03:01,119
to continue this success rate the

2883
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:03,239
address um and address the individual

2884
02:03:01,119 --> 02:03:05,480
needs of our Scholars focusing on the

2885
02:03:03,239 --> 02:03:07,119
current seventh grade Scholars we uh to

2886
02:03:05,480 --> 02:03:09,360
see what additional supports might be

2887
02:03:07,119 --> 02:03:13,119
needed to ensure that their continued

2888
02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:13,119
success in ela

2889
02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:18,639
continues um and like I've said we've um

2890
02:03:16,679 --> 02:03:21,079
developed a lot of our smart goals and

2891
02:03:18,639 --> 02:03:23,880
reading practice this year um such as

2892
02:03:21,079 --> 02:03:26,719
implementing our small group instruction

2893
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:28,280
um and increased individual conferences

2894
02:03:26,719 --> 02:03:30,400
a lot of our Middle School teachers are

2895
02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:32,599
engaging more in that and unpacking

2896
02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:34,440
directions and prompts to ensure all

2897
02:03:32,599 --> 02:03:36,280
Scholars understand what is being asked

2898
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:37,920
of them when showing what they know

2899
02:03:36,280 --> 02:03:40,119
that's what we saw from our from the

2900
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:42,840
fiab um which is going to be very

2901
02:03:40,119 --> 02:03:44,880
supportive in this year's ASC where you

2902
02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:47,679
know we were able to take time and help

2903
02:03:44,880 --> 02:03:50,400
our students really really pull apart

2904
02:03:47,679 --> 02:03:52,440
what the prompts were asking them um and

2905
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:54,119
be able to have the time to ask the

2906
02:03:52,440 --> 02:03:56,000
teachers like hey what does this mean so

2907
02:03:54,119 --> 02:03:57,639
that when it comes time for them to take

2908
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:59,920
the aspect that they will have those

2909
02:03:57,639 --> 02:04:01,480
tools that they're ready for them um

2910
02:03:59,920 --> 02:04:05,040
overall we've H we've been very

2911
02:04:01,480 --> 02:04:06,480
successful in achieving our goals um and

2912
02:04:05,040 --> 02:04:08,719
and now we're going to jump to math

2913
02:04:06,480 --> 02:04:11,719
there we go um and achieving our goals

2914
02:04:08,719 --> 02:04:15,119
in math as shown in this graph we hope

2915
02:04:11,719 --> 02:04:16,719
um uh for with the continued support and

2916
02:04:15,119 --> 02:04:19,040
additional enrichments that we have in

2917
02:04:16,719 --> 02:04:21,400
place will'll be able to surpass this

2918
02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:22,840
goal and Achieve scores in the 70th

2919
02:04:21,400 --> 02:04:25,639
percent

2920
02:04:22,840 --> 02:04:28,199
range um in addition to what was

2921
02:04:25,639 --> 02:04:31,320
mentioned about Ela um this graph

2922
02:04:28,199 --> 02:04:33,360
pertains to students uh yep that one um

2923
02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:35,079
to student groups much of the support

2924
02:04:33,360 --> 02:04:37,840
and improvements mentioned align with

2925
02:04:35,079 --> 02:04:40,480
math as well um for our emerging

2926
02:04:37,840 --> 02:04:42,599
multilingual Learners in sback and Ela

2927
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:44,960
our goal will be for all 13 of those

2928
02:04:42,599 --> 02:04:48,040
students to take the sbac and reach

2929
02:04:44,960 --> 02:04:50,079
grade level this year um with our math

2930
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:52,280
goals hovering around similar

2931
02:04:50,079 --> 02:04:53,760
percentiles from year-to year our goal

2932
02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:55,559
is that with the implementation of

2933
02:04:53,760 --> 02:04:58,040
additional resources and supports we'll

2934
02:04:55,559 --> 02:05:00,760
continue to improve in this subject um

2935
02:04:58,040 --> 02:05:02,360
we have implemented many strategies

2936
02:05:00,760 --> 02:05:04,280
first with the support of additional

2937
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:07,000
supplemental materials in addition to

2938
02:05:04,280 --> 02:05:09,360
illustrative math um and our current um

2939
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:11,960
middle school math program we also use

2940
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:14,440
Silicon Valley math initiative resources

2941
02:05:11,960 --> 02:05:16,920
we are able to help our Scholars um

2942
02:05:14,440 --> 02:05:19,599
learn how to explain their thinking in

2943
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:21,960
math practices as this is a huge focus

2944
02:05:19,599 --> 02:05:23,960
in these types of resources we find that

2945
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:26,520
our Scholars are really great at those

2946
02:05:23,960 --> 02:05:28,280
Foundation foundational math skills um

2947
02:05:26,520 --> 02:05:30,639
they're really good at attacking a

2948
02:05:28,280 --> 02:05:32,599
problem but in terms of explaining how

2949
02:05:30,639 --> 02:05:34,880
they got there that's where we're trying

2950
02:05:32,599 --> 02:05:37,599
to build um those types of skills and we

2951
02:05:34,880 --> 02:05:39,760
find that the resources around svmi Mars

2952
02:05:37,599 --> 02:05:43,239
and problem of the month um really help

2953
02:05:39,760 --> 02:05:44,920
us kind of um achieve that we find that

2954
02:05:43,239 --> 02:05:47,760
with many scholars who struggle in this

2955
02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:49,840
area we want to ensure um especially

2956
02:05:47,760 --> 02:05:52,000
with our emerging multilingual Learners

2957
02:05:49,840 --> 02:05:54,000
that they are receiving targeted support

2958
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:55,880
in order to help U explain their

2959
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:57,840
thinking and whether that is you know

2960
02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:59,599
through verbal if that's through you

2961
02:05:57,840 --> 02:06:00,960
know collaborative thinking we want to

2962
02:05:59,599 --> 02:06:03,400
make sure that they are providing the

2963
02:06:00,960 --> 02:06:05,800
appropriate access for them to do that

2964
02:06:03,400 --> 02:06:07,719
um svmi has really helped us do this and

2965
02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:10,239
furthermore many teachers have been

2966
02:06:07,719 --> 02:06:12,199
trained in vertical learning um so if

2967
02:06:10,239 --> 02:06:15,199
you came to Roy cloud in any of the math

2968
02:06:12,199 --> 02:06:17,400
classes you might see a bunch of um

2969
02:06:15,199 --> 02:06:19,320
poster boards up on the wall you you

2970
02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:22,840
might see some easel and that's what

2971
02:06:19,320 --> 02:06:24,800
vertical learning is um get students up

2972
02:06:22,840 --> 02:06:27,440
and working with their peers supports

2973
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:29,280
stamina constructive conversation and

2974
02:06:27,440 --> 02:06:31,360
retention of information and

2975
02:06:29,280 --> 02:06:33,840
additionally Scholars are learning tools

2976
02:06:31,360 --> 02:06:36,400
in their designated El Support classes

2977
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:38,440
to understand key terms and vocabulary

2978
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:39,599
that would otherwise be a barrier in

2979
02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:43,679
their

2980
02:06:39,599 --> 02:06:44,880
learning all right I ready there we go

2981
02:06:43,679 --> 02:06:47,320
um there seems to be a little

2982
02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:50,040
discrepancy between our ESC data and our

2983
02:06:47,320 --> 02:06:52,679
I data starting in the early grades um

2984
02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:54,400
levels with uh while ASC starts in third

2985
02:06:52,679 --> 02:06:56,520
grade what we're kind of wondering is if

2986
02:06:54,400 --> 02:06:59,440
these the discrepancies are because that

2987
02:06:56,520 --> 02:07:02,599
I um data is collected in the younger

2988
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:05,079
grades um what Roy Cloud also looks at

2989
02:07:02,599 --> 02:07:07,599
is um when our scores waver more than

2990
02:07:05,079 --> 02:07:09,320
one grade level below what we want to do

2991
02:07:07,599 --> 02:07:11,639
is we want to do a deeper dive into

2992
02:07:09,320 --> 02:07:13,520
those assessments um from our district

2993
02:07:11,639 --> 02:07:16,520
approved curriculum so the illustrative

2994
02:07:13,520 --> 02:07:18,599
math also um really helps us do this we

2995
02:07:16,520 --> 02:07:20,599
look at this data um when we look at

2996
02:07:18,599 --> 02:07:24,639
this data our Scholars are improving in

2997
02:07:20,599 --> 02:07:26,520
their math skills by topic um and uh and

2998
02:07:24,639 --> 02:07:28,760
as it compares to I ready so that's

2999
02:07:26,520 --> 02:07:32,040
that's really promising for us to to be

3000
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:32,040
able to see that in our

3001
02:07:32,360 --> 02:07:38,280
curriculum okay examples of how we are

3002
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:41,199
achieving and reaching our goals for um

3003
02:07:38,280 --> 02:07:43,159
goal number three uh we are really big

3004
02:07:41,199 --> 02:07:44,920
on demon strating lessons I know you

3005
02:07:43,159 --> 02:07:48,520
guys have heard that from me before we

3006
02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:50,599
do it every year we love it um and we

3007
02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:52,199
also are encouraging our teachers to

3008
02:07:50,599 --> 02:07:54,440
also do it too so when we go into

3009
02:07:52,199 --> 02:07:57,400
classrooms and we see um certain

3010
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:59,360
teachers are um are addressing a topic

3011
02:07:57,400 --> 02:08:01,599
or or a key skill in a certain way and

3012
02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:03,760
we're like that is really good we're you

3013
02:08:01,599 --> 02:08:06,520
know trying to encourage our teachers to

3014
02:08:03,760 --> 02:08:09,280
be able to show um what they know with

3015
02:08:06,520 --> 02:08:12,040
some of their colleagues uh we really do

3016
02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:14,040
focus on modeling around the pedagogy of

3017
02:08:12,040 --> 02:08:15,960
confidence Universal Design for Learning

3018
02:08:14,040 --> 02:08:18,440
Project based learning um to promote

3019
02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:21,040
those high levels of student engagement

3020
02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:23,040
um some examples that we have engage

3021
02:08:21,040 --> 02:08:25,520
that we've supported encouraged or

3022
02:08:23,040 --> 02:08:28,079
modeled are with Socratic seminars

3023
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:29,840
educational Escape rooms think like an

3024
02:08:28,079 --> 02:08:31,599
escape room that you would go to but

3025
02:08:29,840 --> 02:08:33,480
it's like it's in the classroom and

3026
02:08:31,599 --> 02:08:36,639
we're not really escaping the classroom

3027
02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:40,480
we're more trying to get into a a box

3028
02:08:36,639 --> 02:08:43,239
that says you did it um it's fun uh

3029
02:08:40,480 --> 02:08:46,159
diverse read alouds um and how Scholars

3030
02:08:43,239 --> 02:08:48,000
read in class um we have in-person and

3031
02:08:46,159 --> 02:08:50,840
active simulations um with the

3032
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:54,199
walkthrough history organization that

3033
02:08:50,840 --> 02:08:56,239
comes um and conducts uh simulations in

3034
02:08:54,199 --> 02:08:58,280
fourth fifth and sixth grade we have

3035
02:08:56,239 --> 02:09:00,159
active games and interactive projects

3036
02:08:58,280 --> 02:09:02,159
that immerse scholars in are learning

3037
02:09:00,159 --> 02:09:04,199
each year our sixth grade teachers host

3038
02:09:02,159 --> 02:09:06,599
a Heritage night that's coming up you'll

3039
02:09:04,199 --> 02:09:10,040
get an invite um our seventh grade

3040
02:09:06,599 --> 02:09:12,280
Scholars run the chasi challenge that

3041
02:09:10,040 --> 02:09:14,159
replicates the Inca relay messaging

3042
02:09:12,280 --> 02:09:15,880
system the eighth grade creates and

3043
02:09:14,159 --> 02:09:17,920
individualize projects around their

3044
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:20,960
interests that relates to the National

3045
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:23,679
History Day project um again we talked

3046
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:26,000
about the administrator uh LED teaching

3047
02:09:23,679 --> 02:09:29,360
we actively teach units so not only are

3048
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:32,480
we kind of modeling um how you know some

3049
02:09:29,360 --> 02:09:34,719
practices but when we were introduced to

3050
02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:36,719
our new math curriculum I really wanted

3051
02:09:34,719 --> 02:09:38,880
to see what it looked like and so I

3052
02:09:36,719 --> 02:09:40,480
jumped into a few classes I did a first

3053
02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:44,079
grade class and a fourth grade class and

3054
02:09:40,480 --> 02:09:46,320
I learned a lot um a lot in terms of

3055
02:09:44,079 --> 02:09:50,159
what our teachers are engaging in then

3056
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:52,040
also how we can support them um to to

3057
02:09:50,159 --> 02:09:53,000
you know really enrich that curriculum

3058
02:09:52,040 --> 02:09:55,239
in the

3059
02:09:53,000 --> 02:09:57,800
classroom um we do a lot of Staff

3060
02:09:55,239 --> 02:09:59,360
collaboration and data analysis um so

3061
02:09:57,800 --> 02:10:01,840
staff meetings are dedicated to

3062
02:09:59,360 --> 02:10:03,679
reviewing learner profile student data

3063
02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:06,239
and next steps in improving scholar

3064
02:10:03,679 --> 02:10:08,800
success we started this last year after

3065
02:10:06,239 --> 02:10:11,320
we learned from how to do it with the

3066
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:13,800
act the staff development team um at the

3067
02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:16,119
district and how to engage in creating

3068
02:10:13,800 --> 02:10:18,920
learner profiles from The Scholar um

3069
02:10:16,119 --> 02:10:21,679
based academic data that we can receive

3070
02:10:18,920 --> 02:10:25,119
from our from our curriculum data and

3071
02:10:21,679 --> 02:10:28,599
from our assessments um from this

3072
02:10:25,119 --> 02:10:30,599
information we look um at the curriculum

3073
02:10:28,599 --> 02:10:32,599
and see how to enhance the lessons to

3074
02:10:30,599 --> 02:10:35,320
ensure they're accessible um to all

3075
02:10:32,599 --> 02:10:38,159
students so we in looking at the uh

3076
02:10:35,320 --> 02:10:39,760
learner profile We compare it to how the

3077
02:10:38,159 --> 02:10:41,800
the lessons in our curriculum or our

3078
02:10:39,760 --> 02:10:43,440
supplemental materials are addressing

3079
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:45,000
the needs of our Scholars and if we feel

3080
02:10:43,440 --> 02:10:47,520
that there's any kind of adjustments we

3081
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:49,800
call it a lesson remix where we um

3082
02:10:47,520 --> 02:10:51,840
adjust and we provide additional support

3083
02:10:49,800 --> 02:10:53,159
so that it's fully access ible to all of

3084
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:55,880
our scholars in the

3085
02:10:53,159 --> 02:10:58,119
classroom um as you guys know we're

3086
02:10:55,880 --> 02:11:01,000
engaging in our smart uh goals and

3087
02:10:58,119 --> 02:11:03,320
driven practices so every six weeks we

3088
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:05,559
look at our data we create new smart

3089
02:11:03,320 --> 02:11:07,840
goals that are measurable we track our

3090
02:11:05,559 --> 02:11:09,639
progress um and that guides our next

3091
02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:11,239
steps this has been incredibly helpful

3092
02:11:09,639 --> 02:11:13,079
in looking closely at the data and

3093
02:11:11,239 --> 02:11:15,559
creating mean meaningful approaches

3094
02:11:13,079 --> 02:11:19,400
towards student supporting students we

3095
02:11:15,559 --> 02:11:22,119
go a step further um with these um uh

3096
02:11:19,400 --> 02:11:25,040
with these um smart goals but by um

3097
02:11:22,119 --> 02:11:27,239
conducting a gallery walk um after each

3098
02:11:25,040 --> 02:11:30,840
cohort engages in data collection so we

3099
02:11:27,239 --> 02:11:33,239
have it split between K2 TK um kind of

3100
02:11:30,840 --> 02:11:36,400
is doing their own thing um with um with

3101
02:11:33,239 --> 02:11:39,239
an bar ala so we do K2 smart goals we

3102
02:11:36,400 --> 02:11:40,920
have 35 that's run by Mr konigsburg and

3103
02:11:39,239 --> 02:11:43,440
then middle school and then what we do

3104
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:45,559
is we all come together whoops I'm sorry

3105
02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:48,239
uh all come together um after we've

3106
02:11:45,559 --> 02:11:50,719
charted kind of our aha moments um and

3107
02:11:48,239 --> 02:11:52,760
our next steps on U poster boards and we

3108
02:11:50,719 --> 02:11:56,639
do a gallery walk to see where the

3109
02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:59,360
trends lie um as a tk8 school it's

3110
02:11:56,639 --> 02:12:01,400
important for us to see these Trends um

3111
02:11:59,360 --> 02:12:03,320
as the grade levels increase to find

3112
02:12:01,400 --> 02:12:05,400
Opportunities to Target our attention

3113
02:12:03,320 --> 02:12:07,400
and support and to work collabor

3114
02:12:05,400 --> 02:12:10,280
collaboratively in addressing these

3115
02:12:07,400 --> 02:12:13,320
needs um we also use the interim

3116
02:12:10,280 --> 02:12:17,000
assessments um with our uh with our

3117
02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:19,719
curriculum um and with esack and we have

3118
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:22,280
um as I said we talked about um we use

3119
02:12:19,719 --> 02:12:24,599
svmi so silicon valy math initiative

3120
02:12:22,280 --> 02:12:26,719
resources the math assessment Resource

3121
02:12:24,599 --> 02:12:28,400
Services which is also known as Mars and

3122
02:12:26,719 --> 02:12:30,480
problem of the month to enhance those

3123
02:12:28,400 --> 02:12:32,520
problem solving skills we love this

3124
02:12:30,480 --> 02:12:34,880
Resource as it really supports SC um

3125
02:12:32,520 --> 02:12:36,639
teaching Scholars how to explain their

3126
02:12:34,880 --> 02:12:38,320
thinking and it provides a very clear

3127
02:12:36,639 --> 02:12:40,719
insight for our teachers to see how

3128
02:12:38,320 --> 02:12:43,440
Scholars attack a math problem um

3129
02:12:40,719 --> 02:12:45,679
building on those mathematical practices

3130
02:12:43,440 --> 02:12:48,239
and in addition to this year um

3131
02:12:45,679 --> 02:12:50,599
supported by our parent Community we

3132
02:12:48,239 --> 02:12:53,000
have brought math Olympiad um the math

3133
02:12:50,599 --> 02:12:54,440
Olympiad program to grades three four

3134
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:56,440
and five I don't know if we have any

3135
02:12:54,440 --> 02:12:59,800
math olympiads it's been a around for a

3136
02:12:56,440 --> 02:13:01,840
really long time um to really strengthen

3137
02:12:59,800 --> 02:13:03,239
our mathematical reasoning and fluency

3138
02:13:01,840 --> 02:13:05,239
and with the support of our family

3139
02:13:03,239 --> 02:13:07,880
community um we've been able to bring

3140
02:13:05,239 --> 02:13:10,599
this to our school and it is wildly

3141
02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:12,440
successful um there are that you'll see

3142
02:13:10,599 --> 02:13:14,960
a photo of our kids getting really

3143
02:13:12,440 --> 02:13:16,760
excited for their math Olympiad day um

3144
02:13:14,960 --> 02:13:19,320
we hope that this provides a level of

3145
02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:21,679
enrichment for our Scholars um to seek

3146
02:13:19,320 --> 02:13:23,679
in math in addition to the enriching

3147
02:13:21,679 --> 02:13:26,440
activities that are incur um occurring

3148
02:13:23,679 --> 02:13:29,079
in the classroom and we also have Study

3149
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:30,920
Buddies um so which is a program that

3150
02:13:29,079 --> 02:13:33,159
provides peer assisted learning in math

3151
02:13:30,920 --> 02:13:34,639
and literacy our community service

3152
02:13:33,159 --> 02:13:36,000
Scholars who are middle schoolers

3153
02:13:34,639 --> 02:13:37,800
support first through third grade

3154
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:42,520
Scholars who would benefit from

3155
02:13:37,800 --> 02:13:45,079
individualized support um and um like I

3156
02:13:42,520 --> 02:13:47,400
said we do a lot of literacy circles and

3157
02:13:45,079 --> 02:13:49,400
book studies which also promotes that

3158
02:13:47,400 --> 02:13:51,760
differentiated learning um so our

3159
02:13:49,400 --> 02:13:54,199
teachers can move around and meet with

3160
02:13:51,760 --> 02:13:56,079
different groups um we also have an

3161
02:13:54,199 --> 02:13:58,760
optional Middle School book club that

3162
02:13:56,079 --> 02:14:00,880
was just started by our ASB teacher lead

3163
02:13:58,760 --> 02:14:03,040
an a rival this year that the teachers

3164
02:14:00,880 --> 02:14:05,000
are super excited about really what

3165
02:14:03,040 --> 02:14:06,360
we're trying to do is provide a lot of

3166
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:09,440
opportunities for students to get

3167
02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:11,559
excited for learning um and to to want

3168
02:14:09,440 --> 02:14:14,960
to dive deeper into like what can they

3169
02:14:11,559 --> 02:14:17,520
do next in ela and math um we also

3170
02:14:14,960 --> 02:14:19,320
provide audiobooks and audio options as

3171
02:14:17,520 --> 02:14:21,280
well as graphic novels to support

3172
02:14:19,320 --> 02:14:24,679
Equitable access for students who might

3173
02:14:21,280 --> 02:14:24,679
need alternative literacy

3174
02:14:25,280 --> 02:14:31,559
resources um and we have an annual steam

3175
02:14:29,280 --> 02:14:34,159
fair so we just did that and we have

3176
02:14:31,559 --> 02:14:36,400
three students who are going to the San

3177
02:14:34,159 --> 02:14:37,960
Mato County stem fair with a few

3178
02:14:36,400 --> 02:14:41,159
students from Northstar we're super

3179
02:14:37,960 --> 02:14:42,800
excited for this opportunity um and just

3180
02:14:41,159 --> 02:14:44,800
something to note that we did it we

3181
02:14:42,800 --> 02:14:46,679
started it last year this is our second

3182
02:14:44,800 --> 02:14:48,440
year we doubled the amount of

3183
02:14:46,679 --> 02:14:50,040
participants from last year so I'm just

3184
02:14:48,440 --> 02:14:51,840
hoping it's going to keep going I keep

3185
02:14:50,040 --> 02:14:55,159
hitting this microphone

3186
02:14:51,840 --> 02:15:00,000
um and uh we have you know we encourage

3187
02:14:55,159 --> 02:15:01,960
academic driven field trips um and yeah

3188
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:04,480
I mean we do we're doing a lot at Roy

3189
02:15:01,960 --> 02:15:06,639
Cloud um we're trying we are working to

3190
02:15:04,480 --> 02:15:09,440
support all of our Scholars and their

3191
02:15:06,639 --> 02:15:12,000
individual needs um yeah and we can show

3192
02:15:09,440 --> 02:15:15,119
here some pictures so top what is that

3193
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:18,040
top left that's our our math olympiads

3194
02:15:15,119 --> 02:15:21,280
they're super excited um next to them is

3195
02:15:18,040 --> 02:15:23,760
an example of how we do an escape room

3196
02:15:21,280 --> 02:15:25,199
um the white boards that are under it is

3197
02:15:23,760 --> 02:15:27,719
an example of how we do vertical

3198
02:15:25,199 --> 02:15:29,920
learning the row of photos underneath

3199
02:15:27,719 --> 02:15:33,520
them those are all of our stem fair

3200
02:15:29,920 --> 02:15:37,840
kiddos um we do lots of student Le um

3201
02:15:33,520 --> 02:15:41,239
presentations and debates um uh on the

3202
02:15:37,840 --> 02:15:42,199
right is our SV some of our svmi work

3203
02:15:41,239 --> 02:15:45,000
next

3204
02:15:42,199 --> 02:15:47,079
one at the top there that's an example

3205
02:15:45,000 --> 02:15:49,159
of how we do our Gallery walks after we

3206
02:15:47,079 --> 02:15:53,159
do our data Dives and our our smart

3207
02:15:49,159 --> 02:15:55,360
goals um that uh a a screenshot of a

3208
02:15:53,159 --> 02:15:57,320
slide is how we started the year really

3209
02:15:55,360 --> 02:15:59,840
engaging in how to build a belonging

3210
02:15:57,320 --> 02:16:02,280
classroom looking at ways to promote

3211
02:15:59,840 --> 02:16:05,079
that student engagement through jigsaw

3212
02:16:02,280 --> 02:16:07,920
um the jigsaw model connecting at the

3213
02:16:05,079 --> 02:16:10,440
door Socratic seminars any um supporting

3214
02:16:07,920 --> 02:16:13,199
that noticing and wondering conversation

3215
02:16:10,440 --> 02:16:15,639
um and to promote our buddy um our buddy

3216
02:16:13,199 --> 02:16:18,199
program um we talked about pedagogy of

3217
02:16:15,639 --> 02:16:20,400
confidence and um within that they have

3218
02:16:18,199 --> 02:16:22,520
these thinking Ms that maps that have

3219
02:16:20,400 --> 02:16:25,360
really helped helped our students um

3220
02:16:22,520 --> 02:16:27,840
tailor their thinking and uh drill down

3221
02:16:25,360 --> 02:16:30,040
into how they want to uh utilize a

3222
02:16:27,840 --> 02:16:31,520
graphic organizer to help expand in

3223
02:16:30,040 --> 02:16:33,160
their writing and so right in the center

3224
02:16:31,520 --> 02:16:35,639
there that's an example that's a third

3225
02:16:33,160 --> 02:16:38,000
grade example um which I was really

3226
02:16:35,639 --> 02:16:40,880
impressed with um and then next to that

3227
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:42,840
is a Socratic seminar outside um we did

3228
02:16:40,880 --> 02:16:44,000
it outside it happened to be really nice

3229
02:16:42,840 --> 02:16:45,519
and the classrooms can be a little

3230
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:47,479
cramped when we do those Socratic

3231
02:16:45,519 --> 02:16:48,960
seminars um and then here's a really

3232
02:16:47,479 --> 02:16:51,439
creative way that our third grade

3233
02:16:48,960 --> 02:16:54,519
teachers um engage in

3234
02:16:51,439 --> 02:16:58,359
uh literacy practice and

3235
02:16:54,519 --> 02:17:00,559
exploration is that it okay that's our

3236
02:16:58,359 --> 02:17:02,040
presentation all right thank you so much

3237
02:17:00,559 --> 02:17:04,080
thank you Melissa and Jason for the

3238
02:17:02,040 --> 02:17:06,960
presentation I really appreciate it um

3239
02:17:04,080 --> 02:17:09,040
I'm gonna turn to the board members for

3240
02:17:06,960 --> 02:17:10,599
questions comments or discussion I will

3241
02:17:09,040 --> 02:17:13,319
point out the time just so that we're

3242
02:17:10,599 --> 02:17:15,160
mindful of it um we heard earlier that

3243
02:17:13,319 --> 02:17:16,200
administrators work till 11 o'clock at

3244
02:17:15,160 --> 02:17:18,519
night so that means they have two more

3245
02:17:16,200 --> 02:17:20,559
hours of work ahead of them um so let's

3246
02:17:18,519 --> 02:17:21,479
be very you know considerate of their

3247
02:17:20,559 --> 02:17:22,920
time

3248
02:17:21,479 --> 02:17:25,559
but by all means ask your questions and

3249
02:17:22,920 --> 02:17:25,559
discussions

3250
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:31,200
yeah um I'll okay I I really don't have

3251
02:17:29,599 --> 02:17:33,479
any questions I just want to express

3252
02:17:31,200 --> 02:17:35,160
appreciation um first apologies for

3253
02:17:33,479 --> 02:17:37,519
drawing this the the Short Straw I know

3254
02:17:35,160 --> 02:17:39,599
that it's a late night as indicated but

3255
02:17:37,519 --> 02:17:41,639
really appreciate you guys making the

3256
02:17:39,599 --> 02:17:43,080
time to give the presentation say to be

3257
02:17:41,639 --> 02:17:44,599
engaged and to get us all this

3258
02:17:43,080 --> 02:17:47,800
information and obviously also to do the

3259
02:17:44,599 --> 02:17:49,639
work um I just really appreciate a lot

3260
02:17:47,800 --> 02:17:52,599
of the thinking I can tell from this

3261
02:17:49,639 --> 02:17:53,960
that you know even if you're seeing good

3262
02:17:52,599 --> 02:17:55,240
results it's clear that you're not being

3263
02:17:53,960 --> 02:17:58,599
complacent right you're thinking ahead

3264
02:17:55,240 --> 02:18:00,000
to what else can we do um so just really

3265
02:17:58,599 --> 02:18:02,040
want to appreciate that I can tell some

3266
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:04,960
of the things that I really enjoyed um

3267
02:18:02,040 --> 02:18:06,880
hearing about were the the approach to

3268
02:18:04,960 --> 02:18:09,519
uh the buy in for expectations at the

3269
02:18:06,880 --> 02:18:11,519
beginning of the year the the the

3270
02:18:09,519 --> 02:18:14,639
creativity with the Escape rooms and

3271
02:18:11,519 --> 02:18:16,479
then um I was not in math olymbia but I

3272
02:18:14,639 --> 02:18:19,479
was in math counts which I think is

3273
02:18:16,479 --> 02:18:21,080
probably analogous and I also do a math

3274
02:18:19,479 --> 02:18:22,960
test every year with my family for fun

3275
02:18:21,080 --> 02:18:24,519
so certainly in the pool of big old

3276
02:18:22,960 --> 02:18:26,399
nerds and I say that most lovingly in

3277
02:18:24,519 --> 02:18:27,840
the most lovingly way so certainly

3278
02:18:26,399 --> 02:18:29,639
appreciate them shout to the suit I will

3279
02:18:27,840 --> 02:18:33,240
reach out to you when we have our math L

3280
02:18:29,639 --> 02:18:33,240
you can come join us I would love that

3281
02:18:33,760 --> 02:18:39,719
yeah no thank you um principal Melissa

3282
02:18:36,679 --> 02:18:42,319
and VP um Jason I also just wanted to

3283
02:18:39,719 --> 02:18:43,920
just glad to see a bunch of girls on the

3284
02:18:42,319 --> 02:18:46,080
math Olympia team right there in the

3285
02:18:43,920 --> 02:18:48,880
photo and also on their little um

3286
02:18:46,080 --> 02:18:50,840
science fair presentations down there so

3287
02:18:48,880 --> 02:18:52,319
so good job with that you know

3288
02:18:50,840 --> 02:18:54,760
mentioning inclusivity and I think this

3289
02:18:52,319 --> 02:18:56,559
is part of it here um this is not

3290
02:18:54,760 --> 02:18:59,399
something we need to discuss tonight but

3291
02:18:56,559 --> 02:19:02,240
I think the lpac slide is misrepresented

3292
02:18:59,399 --> 02:19:04,800
and anybody else misunderstand it I know

3293
02:19:02,240 --> 02:19:06,559
you don't have a a lot of students but I

3294
02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:09,840
I don't think all the zeros are correct

3295
02:19:06,559 --> 02:19:12,319
or my Miser understanding we we don't

3296
02:19:09,840 --> 02:19:15,240
have emerging multilinguals in every

3297
02:19:12,319 --> 02:19:17,160
grade um so that's that's probably where

3298
02:19:15,240 --> 02:19:19,399
some of the zeros were coming from I

3299
02:19:17,160 --> 02:19:21,439
then your your average number becomes

3300
02:19:19,399 --> 02:19:26,280
much smaller than doesn't reflect kind

3301
02:19:21,439 --> 02:19:26,280
of the but we can look at that later

3302
02:19:28,719 --> 02:19:33,880
okay um thank you for the presentation

3303
02:19:31,639 --> 02:19:36,040
um it's wonderful to hear everything

3304
02:19:33,880 --> 02:19:38,840
that you're doing um I do want to point

3305
02:19:36,040 --> 02:19:42,639
out I appreciate um hearing you Melissa

3306
02:19:38,840 --> 02:19:45,160
say the pedagogy of confid confidence um

3307
02:19:42,639 --> 02:19:47,080
like five or six times if not seven so I

3308
02:19:45,160 --> 02:19:48,920
appreciate that because that's one of

3309
02:19:47,080 --> 02:19:51,880
the biggest things I know that different

3310
02:19:48,920 --> 02:19:55,479
schools you know some you some don't but

3311
02:19:51,880 --> 02:19:58,240
um I do think that's a really good I

3312
02:19:55,479 --> 02:20:01,600
don't know model to use um so I

3313
02:19:58,240 --> 02:20:05,160
appreciate um Roy Cloud using it um the

3314
02:20:01,600 --> 02:20:08,520
audiobooks when you refer to them as

3315
02:20:05,160 --> 02:20:10,760
support are we talking I guess if you

3316
02:20:08,520 --> 02:20:15,359
could just explain a a little bit more

3317
02:20:10,760 --> 02:20:17,200
on that yeah absolutely um so sometimes

3318
02:20:15,359 --> 02:20:19,200
um when we're doing novel studies in the

3319
02:20:17,200 --> 02:20:21,359
classroom sometimes the students need

3320
02:20:19,200 --> 02:20:23,600
some time to

3321
02:20:21,359 --> 02:20:25,399
um receive the chapter that they're

3322
02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:26,880
going to read in a different way and so

3323
02:20:25,399 --> 02:20:29,319
what our our especially our Middle

3324
02:20:26,880 --> 02:20:32,600
School uh teachers are doing is they are

3325
02:20:29,319 --> 02:20:35,680
kind of frontloading by um they find uh

3326
02:20:32,600 --> 02:20:37,960
if we can't find um an a true audiobook

3327
02:20:35,680 --> 02:20:39,640
we'll use YouTube um because there's

3328
02:20:37,960 --> 02:20:41,520
lots of resources on there where people

3329
02:20:39,640 --> 02:20:43,600
are reading the the different chapters

3330
02:20:41,520 --> 02:20:45,479
of their of the novel study that they're

3331
02:20:43,600 --> 02:20:47,960
engaging in so what they'll do is

3332
02:20:45,479 --> 02:20:50,200
they'll place it on Google Classroom

3333
02:20:47,960 --> 02:20:52,520
students then can access it there so

3334
02:20:50,200 --> 02:20:55,200
that they can listen to it while also

3335
02:20:52,520 --> 02:20:57,399
following along um so they can do it in

3336
02:20:55,200 --> 02:20:59,200
a in whatever really way that makes the

3337
02:20:57,399 --> 02:21:01,520
most sense of them so if it is the night

3338
02:20:59,200 --> 02:21:03,240
before they can listen to the audiobook

3339
02:21:01,520 --> 02:21:05,000
while they are following along or they

3340
02:21:03,240 --> 02:21:06,960
can just listen to it so that the next

3341
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:09,200
day they can become they can come in

3342
02:21:06,960 --> 02:21:10,720
prepared to engage in the conversation

3343
02:21:09,200 --> 02:21:13,640
of the chapter that they're going to be

3344
02:21:10,720 --> 02:21:15,520
reading together um it also is you know

3345
02:21:13,640 --> 02:21:17,800
where if they're doing any kind of

3346
02:21:15,520 --> 02:21:19,640
indivi independent reading where they

3347
02:21:17,800 --> 02:21:21,240
can you know put their headphones on and

3348
02:21:19,640 --> 02:21:23,640
they as they're reading along in the

3349
02:21:21,240 --> 02:21:25,960
book they can they can listen to it as

3350
02:21:23,640 --> 02:21:28,200
well it's just it provides an additional

3351
02:21:25,960 --> 02:21:30,840
access point because sometimes you know

3352
02:21:28,200 --> 02:21:32,560
our Scholars um just need a little help

3353
02:21:30,840 --> 02:21:34,840
in that we're we're just reading the

3354
02:21:32,560 --> 02:21:36,560
words on the paper um you know sometimes

3355
02:21:34,840 --> 02:21:38,960
they need to do it a few times so it

3356
02:21:36,560 --> 02:21:41,920
just it's just to provide them that that

3357
02:21:38,960 --> 02:21:43,680
additional thing if they need it great

3358
02:21:41,920 --> 02:21:46,560
um and then the other thing that I wrote

3359
02:21:43,680 --> 02:21:48,520
down um I really um like the Study

3360
02:21:46,560 --> 02:21:51,200
Buddies um because I think that gives

3361
02:21:48,520 --> 02:21:54,560
students a sense of you know

3362
02:21:51,200 --> 02:21:56,600
you're helping your buddy so that that's

3363
02:21:54,560 --> 02:21:58,800
really nice um and then of course the

3364
02:21:56,600 --> 02:22:02,439
student Le presentations I think again

3365
02:21:58,800 --> 02:22:04,319
that leads to you know leadership skills

3366
02:22:02,439 --> 02:22:06,319
down the line so I appreciate everything

3367
02:22:04,319 --> 02:22:08,800
that you guys do thank you and that's it

3368
02:22:06,319 --> 02:22:08,800

continue improving results to continue

3376
02:22:27,880 --> 02:22:31,920
looking at like what can we try next

3377
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:34,520
when will we see the results and to

3378
02:22:31,920 --> 02:22:36,560
really have the school itself be

3379
02:22:34,520 --> 02:22:38,520
learning about the process of teaching

3380
02:22:36,560 --> 02:22:40,280
and what's working what's not so just I

3381
02:22:38,520 --> 02:22:42,319

clear that you made a great Community up

3393
02:23:08,760 --> 02:23:12,720
there at Roy Cloud uh are making a real

3394
02:23:10,880 --> 02:23:14,279
difference so just excited to see

3395
02:23:12,720 --> 02:23:16,479

want to learn love to learn um I think

3399
02:23:20,200 --> 02:23:24,200
it's of the most important things we can

3400
02:23:21,720 --> 02:23:25,640
do in the you know up through 8th grade

3401
02:23:24,200 --> 02:23:27,080
uh to really set people up for success

3402
02:23:25,640 --> 02:23:28,359
in high school and it was really

3403
02:23:27,080 --> 02:23:30,160
interesting thanks for sharing about

3404
02:23:28,359 --> 02:23:31,920
your SLC class in middle school and the

3405
02:23:30,160 --> 02:23:33,279
inclusive practices that are going on

3406
02:23:31,920 --> 02:23:35,200
there I think that's really really

3407
02:23:33,279 --> 02:23:36,560
exciting to hear about it um and look

3408
02:23:35,200 --> 02:23:39,680
forward to hearing about how that goes

3409
02:23:36,560 --> 02:23:41,960
over the future years pass it off to Dr

3410
02:23:39,680 --> 02:23:44,200
Baker well Melissa and Jason thank you

3411
02:23:41,960 --> 02:23:45,520
so much but first of all thank you so

3412
02:23:44,200 --> 02:23:48,279
much for each of you taking the

3413
02:23:45,520 --> 02:23:50,080
initiative I know Melissa has done this

3414
02:23:48,279 --> 02:23:51,960
since she started but going into the

3415
02:23:50,080 --> 02:23:54,319
class rooms and Dem demonstrating

3416
02:23:51,960 --> 02:23:55,760
lessons that shows your vulnerability

3417
02:23:54,319 --> 02:23:58,319
you're getting in there with the

3418
02:23:55,760 --> 02:24:00,760
teachers and what the teachers are asked

3419
02:23:58,319 --> 02:24:03,000
to do you're showing that you can do it

3420
02:24:00,760 --> 02:24:04,600
so it makes you very vulnerable so I

3421
02:24:03,000 --> 02:24:06,160
really appreciate that you're both in

3422
02:24:04,600 --> 02:24:08,200
there and I've heard some really great

3423
02:24:06,160 --> 02:24:09,800
things definitely about Melissa when she

3424
02:24:08,200 --> 02:24:11,720
started doing this and I know Jason

3425
02:24:09,800 --> 02:24:14,359
you're doing the same thing I think at

3426
02:24:11,720 --> 02:24:16,359
the is it the younger Elementary did I

3427
02:24:14,359 --> 02:24:18,399
did a fifth grade I modeled a fifth

3428
02:24:16,359 --> 02:24:20,680
grade lesson and a couple middle school

3429
02:24:18,399 --> 02:24:23,120
lessons so far that's great that's great

3430
02:24:20,680 --> 02:24:25,000
to hear the other piece is the learning

3431
02:24:23,120 --> 02:24:27,279
profiles which I'm really interested to

3432
02:24:25,000 --> 02:24:29,920
learn more about it's something where

3433
02:24:27,279 --> 02:24:32,279
you get to understand more of what that

3434
02:24:29,920 --> 02:24:34,000

that went on kind of in the different uh

3529
02:28:37,880 --> 02:28:41,600
there's some similarities in classrooms

3530
02:28:39,560 --> 02:28:44,479
and consistency but also their own style

3531
02:28:41,600 --> 02:28:46,760
so it was I just it was very good to see

3532
02:28:44,479 --> 02:28:47,960

trying to coordinate with them a little

3540
02:28:59,800 --> 02:29:04,080
bit more to exent we can just to help

3541
02:29:02,040 --> 02:29:06,120

for the Spanish speakers but again those

3543
02:29:06,120 --> 02:29:10,399
also really nice to see uh one other

3544
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:12,800
thing Maybe

3545
02:29:10,399 --> 02:29:14,000
not maybe for Rick I'm sure you're

3546
02:29:12,800 --> 02:29:16,120
following closely already but I know

3547
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:17,399
that there's the budget onus trailer

3548
02:29:16,120 --> 02:29:19,080
bill which was recently released which

3549
02:29:17,399 --> 02:29:20,680
is obviously just a proposal but one

3550
02:29:19,080 --> 02:29:22,160
thing that stuck in my mind is that um I

3551
02:29:20,680 --> 02:29:24,479
know that there's some proposal for

3552
02:29:22,160 --> 02:29:26,920
funds to be allocated specifically for

3553
02:29:24,479 --> 02:29:29,120
reading uh and math kind of

3554
02:29:26,920 --> 02:29:32,040
instructional coaches so from what I've

3555
02:29:29,120 --> 02:29:35,640
heard from all of our schools uh big you

3556
02:29:32,040 --> 02:29:38,160

02:29:35,640 --> 02:29:41,800
through uh PD and instructional coaching

3558
02:29:38,160 --> 02:29:41,800
things like that so something to keep

3559
02:29:43,560 --> 02:29:48,359

02:29:46,080 --> 02:29:52,040

02:30:20,840 --> 02:30:23,960
that uh a few of them none of them have

3575
02:30:22,439 --> 02:30:27,399
