4.1 Authorize a Positive District Certification of the Second Interim Budget for the Period Ending January 31, 2024

[4.2 Approve Resolution No. 24-03-03, Establishment of Criteria for Order of Layoff and Reemployment Following Layoff of Employees with Same First Date of Paid Service in a Probationary Position]

APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 24-03-03 THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PALACIOS-PETERS, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL UP OUR DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES, MISS DONNA TRIPPI. BUT PRIOR TO THAT, I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE A LITTLE CLARIFICATION.

I WISH DANNY AND SEAN WERE STILL HERE.

THERE MAY BE SOME QUESTIONS AROUND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESOLUTIONS.

AS WE LEARNED AT OUR LAST MEETING, THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR A COMMUNITY INTEREST RESOLUTION.

THE RESOLUTION REPRESENTED ON AGENDA ITEM 4.2, OUR BUSINESS OR OPERATIONAL RESOLUTIONS.

THOSE ARE REQUIRED BY STATUTE OR IDENTIFIED AND RECOMMENDED BY LEGAL COUNSEL AS A BEST PRACTICE TO MEMORIALIZE ACTION.

WHERE A COMMUNITY INTEREST RESOLUTION, WHICH WE REGULARLY RECEIVE TO ENDORSE RESOLUTIONS ON A VARIETY OF SPECIAL CAUSES THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE JURISDICTION OF THE GOVERNING BOARD, AS STATED IN OUR LAST MEETING.

HISTORICALLY, THE CUSD GOVERNING BOARD OPTS OUT TO ENCOURAGE BROADER COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND SPECIAL INTEREST ISSUES BY PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEES. AS STATED EARLIER, A GROUP LETTER FROM OUR TRUSTEES.

AND ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY DIFFERENTLY THAN THROUGH A COMMUNITY INTEREST RESOLUTION.

AS I INTRODUCED MISS TRIPPI, I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN A COMMUNITY INTEREST RESOLUTION AND A BUSINESS OR AN OPERATIONAL RESOLUTION.

MISS TRIPPI. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. AT THE SPECIAL BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING ON MARCH 4TH, THE BOARD PASSED THREE RESOLUTIONS FOR REDUCTIONS IN FORCE OR LAYOFFS DUE TO THE BUDGET, PROJECTED BUDGET CONSTRAINTS, WHICH HAVE JUST BEEN GONE OVER.

SO THE RESOLUTION BEFORE YOU IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE TIE BREAKER RULE.

SO IF EMPLOYEES CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES HAVE THE SAME FIRST DATE OF PAID SERVICE AND A PROBATIONARY POSITION, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE DISTRICT TO ESTABLISH CRITERIA FOR THE ORDER THAT THEY WILL BE CALLED BACK.

SO THE CRITERIA IN THIS RESOLUTION ENSURES THAT WE ARE ABLE TO RETAIN THE MOST QUALIFIED STAFF FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT POINTS ARE AWARDED.

FOR WHAT? FOR WHAT? WE VALUE AS A DISTRICT A HIGHLY EDUCATED AND HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF.

SO POINTS ARE AWARDED FOR CREDENTIALS OR AUTHORIZATIONS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE, WHICH GIVES US FLEXIBILITY OF ASSIGNMENTS AND THEN HIGHER EDUCATION AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WHICH WILL GIVE US A HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF.

SO IT DOES ALSO PROVIDE FOR A LOTTERY PIECE OF IT.

SO IF AFTER WE AWARD POINTS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME DATE OF SERVICE, THEY ARE STILL EVEN THEN WE WOULD DO A LOTTERY TO DECIDE WHO COMES BACK FIRST. SO WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF STAFF MEMBERS IN THIS POSITION FOR THIS YEAR.

SO IF WE GIVE THEM PERMANENT NOTICES IN MAY.

SO WE NEED THIS APPROVED.

ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? IF I MAY. THANK YOU.

[01:10:01]

DID YOU CONSULT OR DRAFT THIS IN CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL? WITH LEGAL? YES.

ANY CONCERNS OR ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEING.

NO. WE ACTUALLY USE THEIR TEMPLATE THAT A LOT OF DISTRICTS USE.

SO WE GOT THE TEMPLATE FROM F3 AND WE UTILIZED IT.

WE MADE IT FIT FOR WHAT WE THINK IS IMPORTANT.

SO WE BELIEVE AND I BELIEVE AS WELL.

THIS IS LEGALLY SOUND AND NOT DISCRIMINATORY IN ANY WAY.

NO. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I USED IT VERY EFFECTIVELY IN RANCHO SANTA FE WHEN WE HAD LAYOFFS.

IT WAS VERY HELPFUL.

SO. OH.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? HEY. GOOD EVENING, I'M LINDA COLEMAN, ACT GRIEVANCE CHAIR.

ON MONDAY, MARCH 3RD, I SAT IN THIS ROOM DURING A NON-TELEVISED SPECIAL BOARD MEETING AND LISTENED TO ACT PRESIDENT JENNIFER LANDRY EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY AGENDA ITEM RESOLUTION NUMBER 24-0303 IS DISCRIMINATORY.

AT THAT MEETING, YOU VOTED TO TABLE THE ITEM.

DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT SALAMANCA STATED THAT THE POLICY WAS NOT NEEDED AT THE TIME.

WE WERE NOT IN A POSITION WHERE TWO PROBATIONARY MEMBERS HIRED ON THE SAME DATE WERE BEING LAID OFF, AND DURING THE COMMENTS PERIOD, SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER NOTED THAT OTHER DISTRICTS ROLLED DICE OR PULLED NAMES OUT OF A HAT.

HE ALSO STATED, AND I'M PARAPHRASING, THAT HE HOPED THAT THE ITEM COULD BE DISCUSSED WITH ASSOCIATION LEADERSHIP TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON A POLICY.

NO CONVERSATION HAS TAKEN PLACE SINCE THE MARCH 3RD MEETING, YET THE ITEM IS BACK UP FOR APPROVAL TONIGHT.

WHY? THIS IS STILL A DISCRIMINATORY POLICY THAT HAS NOT CHANGED IN THE LAST 11 DAYS.

BASING WHO YOU ARE GOING TO LAY OFF AND WHO YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP ON, WHO CAN PAY THE MOST IN TIME AND MONEY FOR EXTRA CERTIFICATIONS, DEGREES, CREDENTIALS, ETC.

IS DISCRIMINATORY.

IT SHOWS THAT WE VALUE SOMEONE WITH MORE TIME AND MONEY OVER SOMEONE WITHOUT.

I ASK THAT YOU ONCE AGAIN TABLE THIS ITEM AND TAKE THE TIME TO HAVE A MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION ABOUT THE BEST WAY TO CREATE THIS PRACTICE.

GIVING A JOB TO THE RICHEST PERSON IS NOT HOW WE USUALLY DO BUSINESS.

WHY ARE WE STARTING THIS PRACTICE NOW? IS THAT WHO WE'VE BECOME? WE NEED TO DO BETTER.

THANK YOU.

DISCUSSION. I ASSUME THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THIS TYPE OF DOCUMENT IN THIS SCENARIO.

I KNOW IT'S THE FIRST TIME FOR ME.

BUT WHAT TYPE? HOW HAVE WE DONE THESE RESOLUTIONS PREVIOUSLY WITH DETERMINING A TIEBREAKER? SO I'D ASK MISS TRIPPI TO COME BACK UP.

BUT AS PART OF THIS CONVERSATION I REGRET THAT THE SPECIAL BOARD MEETING WAS NOT TELEVISED.

THE EXAMPLES PROVIDED OF ROLLING A DICE OR FLIPPING A COIN WERE ONES THAT WERE PRESENTED TO ME BY ACT LEADERSHIP AS WHAT NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS HAVE ENGAGED IN.

AT THE TIME, WE FELT THAT THIS WASN'T NECESSARY STEP FOR US TO TAKE FOR THE EXISTING RESOLUTIONS.

HOWEVER, APPROVAL OF IT THIS EVENING PROVIDES US WITH THE MOST FLEXIBILITY TO TAKE ACTION.

AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING IT BACK FORWARD.

I, I HAVE SOME, SOME QUESTIONS AND SOME CONCERNS ABOUT SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THIS RESOLUTION THAT I WILL RESERVE FOR MY NEXT MEETING WITH THE ACT PRESIDENT.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES WORK HARD TO OBTAIN MASTER'S DEGREES, PHDS THAT THIS IS NOT A DISCRIMINATORY POLICY.

IT'S ACTUALLY A REFLECTION OF THE TIME AND EDUCATION THAT MANY OF OUR TEACHERS HAVE PUT INTO THEIR PROFESSION, IN THEIR CRAFT.

AND IT'S A MODEL THAT IS FOLLOWED IN OUR SALARY SCHEDULE, IN STEP AND COLUMN.

IF I COULD ASK MISS MCELLIGOTT, IF YOU COULD PUT UP THE THE RESOLUTION ITSELF, PERHAPS THE THE CRITERIA I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD ZOOM IN ON THAT OR.

YES. SO I MEAN, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS MISS TRIPPI I MEAN, IT LOOKS TO ME EMINENTLY OBJECTIVE IN THAT IN TERMS

[01:15:01]

OF CREDENTIALING PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS IN THE TOP LINE AND THEN SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORIZATION AND THEN WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE HAS A DOCTORATE OR MASTER'S AND THEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

I MEAN, TO ME, THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE SHOULD VALUE AS A SCHOOL SYSTEM IN BETTERMENT OF OUR MISSION WHICH, OF COURSE, IS TO PURSUE A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU IF YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ON THAT.

I HAVE THE SAME THOUGHTS. I MEAN, THESE ARE THE THINGS WE VALUE AS A DISTRICT.

THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK FOR WHEN WE HIRE.

WE LOOK FOR PEOPLE WITH ADVANCED DEGREES AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

IT'S WHAT WE USE FOR ADVANCEMENT ON THE SALARY SCHEDULE.

THE MAJORITY OF OUR TEACHERS HAVE MASTER'S DEGREES, SO THEY FIND IT VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE AN INSTITUTION OF EDUCATION.

WE FIND ADVANCED DEGREES VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT, AS WELL AS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE OF OUTSIDE OF THE DISTRICT, BECAUSE THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY THESE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE INSIDE OF THE DISTRICT THAT ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.

SO LOOKING AT YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, THEY BRING TO US FROM FROM PRIOR TEACHING AND COUNSELING IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

SO YEARS IN THE PARTICULAR KIND OF SERVICE NARROWS IT DOWN, NOT JUST BUSINESS EXPERIENCE BEFORE TEACHING.

IT'S ACTUAL TEACHING EXPERIENCE OR COUNSELING EXPERIENCE IN THEIR AREA.

SO. I AGREE WITH TRUSTEE YOUNGBLOOD THAT IT LOOKS PRETTY OBJECTIVE TO ME.

I KNOW THAT HIGHER DEGREES WERE ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING MONEY TO GET THOSE DEGREES, BUT THEY'RE NOT THAT HEAVILY WEIGHTED HERE.

WHEREAS THE CREDENTIAL IS HEAVY, CREDENTIALS ARE HEAVILY WEIGHTED, AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WHICH SEEM LIKE THE TWO PRETTY IMPORTANT THINGS TO ME, ARE THE MOST HEAVILY WEIGHTED ITEMS ON HERE. SO I'M NOT SURE I AGREE WITH THE ARGUMENT THAT MONEY EQUATES TO QUALITY OF OUR CREDENTIALS AND DEGREES FOR A TEACHER.

IT'S, I THINK THIS IS PRETTY OBJECTIVE.

THERE'S SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES NOW TO GET A MASTER'S DEGREE ONLINE AND WITH ALL OF OUR INSTITUTIONS, YOU KNOW, IN THE AREA.

SO, I MEAN, WE FIND THAT MOST OF OUR TEACHERS PURSUE MASTER'S DEGREES.

SO WE KNOW THAT THAT'S THE MAJORITY OF OUR TEACHERS.

SO THAT WILL PROBABLY PUT THEM ON THE SAME.

THEY'LL GET THE SAME POINTS FOR FOR THAT PIECE.

AND, IF I MAY, WITH REGARDS TO THE MASTER'S AND DOCTORATE DEGREE, I MEAN, OUR CURRENT SALARY SCHEDULE AS A TEACHER, YOU GET MORE MONEY, AND THAT'S THAT IS THAT'S IN OUR SALARY SCHEDULE, RIGHT? IT'S IN THE COLUMNS.

YEAH. SO YOU'RE YOU'RE GETTING ADVANCEMENT.

SO IN MANY WAYS, THIS SORT OF MIRRORS.

EXACTLY. RIGHT.

SALARY SCHEDULE. RIGHT.

I SHARE TRUSTEES, SANDIE AND YOUNGBLOOD' THOUGHTS ON THIS.

THIS, TO ME, IS APPEARS ON ITS FACE TO BE NOT DISCRIMINATORY, RATHER BASED ON MERIT AND AND EFFORT PUT FORTH TO EARN THESE DEGREES.

OF COURSE, WE'RE ALL SENSITIVE TO AN ACCUSATION THAT SOMETHING WE MIGHT VOTE TO DO COULD BE DISCRIMINATORY.

I REGRET THAT THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LEADERSHIP OF ACT AND DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TO MEET AND CONFER ON THIS.

IT'S BEEN A BUSY COUPLE OF WEEKS, I KNOW, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR HR DEPARTMENT.

I INTEND TO VOTE FOR THIS AND EVEN MOVE TO APPROVE IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S APPETITE FOR THE REST OF THE BOARD TO TABLE IT UNTIL AFTER A BREAK TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY PRECEDENT THAT COULD BE BROUGHT FORTH TO SAY THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD BE DISCRIMINATORY IF ACT HAS SUCH CASE PRECEDENT OR SOMETHING TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO SHOW US SOMETHING THAT MAYBE WE'RE MISSING.

BUT TO ME IT SEEMS VERY LOGICAL AND, AND IT'S ALSO CONSISTENT WITH CIVIL SERVICE PRACTICES IN TERMS OF PAY INCREASES FOR DEGREES AND OUR SALARY SCHEDULE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY THOUGHT IS IF WE WANTED TO GIVE IT UNTIL AFTER THE BREAK TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE MISSING.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, OH, IT WAS.

AND AS YOUR QUESTION BEFORE, IT WAS PROVIDED BY LEGAL AS A TEMPLATE THAT IS USED IN MANY DISTRICTS THAT THEY WORK WITH.

RIGHT. OKAY. SO THAT THANK YOU.

THAT ANSWERS ALL MY QUESTIONS.

AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS IS A DISTRICT AND SCHOOL BOARD DOCUMENT.

THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT IS NEGOTIATED OR NECESSARILY DONE IN TANDEM.

THIS IS OUR HIRING PRACTICES.

RIGHT. EXACTLY RIGHT.

SO I'D BE DISINCLINED TO TABLE THIS OR WAIT FOR ANYTHING THAT CAN BE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY AN ACTION TAKEN LATER.

I WOULDN'T DO IT MORE THAN TONIGHT.

[01:20:03]

RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED TO I'M PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE A MOTION.

DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? TRUSTEE CAVANAUGH? NO. OH, OKAY.

I THOUGHT HE POINTED. THANK YOU, MISS TRIPPI.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON 4.2? I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.

I'LL SECOND. CALL FOR THE VOTE, PLEASE.

MOTION PASSES.

ITEM 4.3 ADOPT REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICIES, BOARD BYLAWS, ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS, AND OR EXHIBITS.

[4.3 Adopt Revisions to Board Policies, Board Bylaws, Administrative Regulations, and/or Exhibits]

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PALACIOS-PETERS I KNOW THE GOVERNING BOARD HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW BOTH OF THESE BOARD POLICIES.

AT OUR PREVIOUS BOARD MEETING.

AS FIRST READS, THESE TWO WERE REQUESTED TO ADD NEW LANGUAGE PRIOR TO APPROVAL.

I HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES, MISS FOLEY, AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE RECOMMENDED ADDITIONS TO BOTH OF THESE BOARD POLICIES WERE INCLUDED WITHIN THE DOCUMENTS.

MISS FOLEY IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 4.3? TRUSTEES, ANY COMMENTS? I WILL SAY I DO APPRECIATE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT THE POLICY WITH MORE CONCISE LANGUAGE TO ENFORCE ASPECTS OF OUR DISCIPLINARY ACTION GUIDE.

AND I DID SEE, I'M NOT SURE IF IN THE PACKET THAT WAS POSTED, IF IT WAS BOLDED AS IT WAS FOR US LATER, BUT I BELIEVE THE LAST THREE PARAGRAPHS OF THE SECOND ONE, THE INTER DISTRICT ATTENDANCE AR 5117. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN JUST SPEAK TO THAT AND WHY THE STAFF RECOMMENDED ADDING THAT INTO THE IDT.

CERTAINLY. GOOD EVENING.

NICE TO SEE EVERYONE.

SO THE THE EXISTING LANGUAGE PRIOR TO THIS RECOMMENDATION LEFT OUT THE FACT THAT STUDENTS WHO HAVE GONE BEYOND THEIR 10TH GRADE YEAR AS AN INTERDISTRICT TRANSFER STUDENT MAY CONTINUE AND STAY IN OUR DISTRICT.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE STUDENTS, WHILE THEY STAY, ARE STILL SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF OUR DISCIPLINE ACTION GUIDE, AND SO WE MADE SURE THAT WE CIRCLED BACK TO CLOSE THAT LOOP SO THAT WHILE WE WOULD HOPE THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE INFRACTIONS IN OUR 11TH AND 12TH GRADE STUDENTS CERTAINLY IF WE NEEDED TO, THERE IS LANGUAGE THERE THAT PROTECTS THE DISTRICT, THAT WE MAY REVOKE AN INTERDISTRICT TRANSFER OR SHALL, IN THE CASE OF AN EXPULSION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS.

OF COURSE. THANK YOU.

I HAVE ONE JUST COMMENT.

COULD I ASK CAMI IF YOU COULD BRING UP PAGE 76 OR THE IT'S BOARD POLICY 0430 ABOUT THE SELPA.

I JUST WANT TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC AND MAYBE SOME AUDIENCE MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE THIS EVENING.

THIS IS A CLARIFICATION OF AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION LOCAL PLAN.

SO SELPA IS THE ACRONYM FOR THE ENTIRE SOUTH COUNTY'S COALITION OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT WORKS TOGETHER TO FUND SPECIAL EDUCATION.

AND WHILE A COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE CALLED THE CAC HAS BEEN REQUIRED BY STATE LAW, IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE CONFUSING HOW THE PROCESS WORKED.

AND SO THIS BOARD POLICY AND REVISIONS HELPED TO CLARIFY IT.

AND IT DOES ELUCIDATE THAT A PARENT GUARDIAN MEMBER OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE WILL BE SELECTED BY AN INTERNAL REVIEW COMMITTEE BY SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION BY APRIL 30TH, THAT APPLICATION WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLINE AND HAVE SOME REQUIREMENTS OF HAVING A CURRENT SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENT IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THEN CAN BE APPOINTED TO SERVE ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT COMMITTEE THAT ADVISES THE WHOLE SOUTH BAY SPECIAL EDUCATION, LOCAL PLAN PLANNERS ON WHAT REAL FAMILIES WITH STUDENTS AND SPECIAL ED NEED.

AND SO IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD TO GET INVOLVED.

AND YOU KNOW, I REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.

IT'S GOING TO BE ON OUR WEBSITE, I THINK, IN A COUPLE WEEKS, AND YOU CAN DO THE APPLICATION, AND WE'D LOVE TO SEE SOME PARENTS GET INVOLVED WITH THAT BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON ACTION ITEM 4.3? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

THANK YOU. CALL FOR THE VOTE PLEASE.

[01:25:15]

MOTION PASSES.

AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO CALL FOR A QUICK 5 TO 10 MINUTE BREAK BEFORE WE GET INTO REPORTS.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

WELCOME BACK. MOVING ON TO ITEM 5.1, ACT REPORT VICE PRESIDENT SANDIE DAVIS.

[5.1 ACT Report: Vice President Sandy Davis]

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

[5.2 Student Board Member Report: Wyatt Riebe]

RENEE. GOOD AFTERNOON.

I WILL START MY PRESENTATION OFF WITH THE HIGH SCHOOLERS.

WE JUST FINISHED UP OUR DINE BY THE SHORE WITH 2020 FOR A FUNDRAISER FOR OUR SENIOR CLASS THIS PAST SUNDAY.

THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, FOR PARTICIPATING.

IT WAS GREAT SEEING YOU THERE.

IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER.

SO THANK YOU TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PARENTS WHO PARTICIPATED.

COMING UP, WE HAVE A FACULTY BASKETBALL GAME.

WE JUST HELD OUR DRAFT FOR THE TEACHERS THIS PAST WEEK.

THIS IS ONE OF OUR LARGER EVENTS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

IT'S WHERE THE TEACHERS PLAY.

THE TEACHERS ON THE BASKETBALL COURT.

IT'S A LOT OF FUN.

AND IT'S OPEN TO IT'S DURING THE SCHOOL DAY SO PEOPLE CAN COME AND WATCH THE EVENT.

IT'S IT'S A LOT OF FUN.

THE ISLANDER ADVISORY IS WORKING WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS RIGHT NOW TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR CROSSOVER INTO GOING TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

[01:30:03]

I THINK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

IT IT'S BIG FOR OUR EIGHTH GRADERS TO FEEL WELCOME AND SECURE WHEN THEY COME OVER TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SO THAT'S A VERY GOOD.

THE COSA DEPARTMENT HAS A LOT GOING ON.

FOR STARTERS, I'D LIKE TO SHOUT OUT CURRENT ALDRICH AND IZZY PRUDER FOR THEIR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AT THE SHAKESPEARE SPEAKING COMPETITION.

THEY CURRENTLY ARE IN NEW YORK CITY PRESENTING A SHAKESPEARE SPEAKING COMPETITION.

THEY WERE BOTH SELECTED HERE AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL, SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.

COSA IS ALSO HOLDING THEIR SPRING RECITAL MARCH 27TH AT 6 P.M.

IN THE BLACK BOX THEATER.

SO MAKE SURE YOU'RE THERE AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO ELEANOR MCCLELLAN FOR BEING SELECTED AS THE NATIONAL YOUTH DELEGATE FOR THE 2024 WASHINGTON YOUTH SUMMIT ON THE ENVIRONMENT.

SHE'S IN MY AP PHYSICS CLASS, AND SHE IS A TOTAL STUD.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ELEANOR.

I KNOW SHE'S GOING TO KILL IT.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT OUR GIRLS LACROSSE TEAM.

THEY ARE KILLING THE OPEN DIVISION RIGHT NOW WITH A30 RECORD.

IF YOU GUYS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO EITHER THE BOYS OR THE GIRLS GAMES IT IS PRETTY FUN TO WATCH THEM PLAY SOME LACROSSE.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.

MOVING ON TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THEY JUST FINISHED THEIR MARCH MADNESS THIS PAST WEEK.

WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

I REMEMBER DOING THAT BACK IN EIGHTH GRADE.

SO THAT'S AWESOME.

WE ALSO GOT TO SEE THE NEWSIES PERFORMANCE BY THE APA WHICH IS COMING UP MARCH 22ND, AND THEY HAVE DRUG PREVENTION CONVENTION COMING UP THE 19TH.

THEY'RE ALSO BEGIN HAVE BEGUN PLANNING THEIR NEXT FUTURE DANCE.

AS FOR SILVER STRAND, THEY JUST HAD AN OPEN HOUSE ON LEAP DAY TO SHOW SOME OF THE PARENTS THE WORK THAT THE STUDENTS THERE ARE CREATING AND DISPLAYING THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THEY HAVE ON CAMPUS.

AND THEY ALSO HAVE A PROGRAM GOING ON RIGHT NOW WHERE DIFFERENT TEACHERS ON THE CAMPUS CAN WATCH ONE ANOTHER, TEACH AND LEARN DIFFERENT STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES TO IMPLEMENT IN THEIR OWN CLASSROOM WHICH I THINK IS SUPER AWESOME.

AND THEY ALSO HAVE A PERFORMANCE FROM THEIR PERFORMING GROUP AT SILVER STRAND FROM THE LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE POP TOUR WHICH IS GOING TO BE ABOUT A FIFTH GRADER CONNECTION TO THE GARDEN.

SO THAT IS COMING UP ON THEIR CAMPUS.

AS FOR VILLAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I AM GOING TO LEAVE THE THE LARGE PART OF MY REPORT TO PRINCIPAL KUHNS IN THE BACK.

WHO WILL WHO WILL FOLLOW ME? BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT I JUST MET WITH PRINCIPAL KUHNS EARLIER ON THIS WEEK, AND WE ARE BOTH WORKING TO DO MORE CROSSOVER BETWEEN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL AND VILLAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

IN LEARNING DIFFERENT LEADERSHIP STYLES THAT WE TAKE FROM OUR ASB AT THE HIGH SCHOOL TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND TO OUR STUDENT COUNCIL THAT'S HELD AT THE VILLAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND THE WORK THAT ME AND PRINCIPAL KUHNS ARE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. HOW MUCH DID YOU ALL END UP EARNING AT THE DIME BY THE SHORE? SO WE EARNED JUST SO RIGHT NOW, WE ARE STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK OF WHAT THE VENUE AND THE FOOD TOTAL COST CAME OUT TO BUT THE TOTAL PROFIT THAT WE MADE WAS UPWARDS OF $8,000, RIGHT? YEAH. GREAT.

AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO UNIVERSAL, RIGHT? CORRECT. WE WE ARE SELLING OUR GRAD GRAD NIGHT TICKETS UP UNTIL THE 28TH RIGHT NOW.

SO YES, UNIVERSAL IS HAPPENING.

WE'RE GOING HAVE FUN.

HAVE A BUTTER BEER FOR ME.

OKAY. WILL DO.

ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM 5.3 VILLAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT.

[5.3 Village Elementary School Annual Report: Principal, Peter Kuhns]

ARE YOU INTRODUCING SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER? THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PALACIOS-PETERS.

IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO INTRODUCE OUR FIRST YEAR PRINCIPAL AT VILLAGE ELEMENTARY, MR. PETER KUHNS.

THANK YOU, PRINCIPAL KUHNS.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS THING'S POWERFUL.

NICE. IT RAISES TWO IF YOU NEED IT, THOUGH.

THE WHOLE THING. OH, REALLY? OH, WOW. I'M NOT GOING TO GET THAT FANCY, BUT I THINK EVERYBODY CAN HEAR ME.

ALL RIGHT. SO, SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I'M PETER KUHNS.

[01:35:01]

I'M THE FIRST YEAR PRINCIPAL HERE AT VILLAGE ELEMENTARY.

AND I JUST WANTED TO YOU KNOW, TAKE THE TIME TO EXPRESS, LIKE, MY EXCITEMENT AND GRATITUDE ABOUT BEING AT THIS SCHOOL.

IT IS AN AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL FILLED WITH AMAZING CHILDREN, OUTSTANDING TEACHERS.

AND, YEAH, JUST WANTED TO REPORT ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING.

ALL RIGHT. SO FIRST THING.

SO CONNECTIONS TO THE MILITARY.

SO VILLAGE ELEMENTARY, AS YOU ALL KNOW SERVES MANY MILITARY FAMILIES STATIONED IN AND AROUND CORONADO.

AND THIS INCLUDES YOU KNOW, A LOT OF SUPPORTS THAT WE HAVE FOR THESE STUDENTS.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE MILITARY FAMILY LIFE COUNSELORS, ANCHORED4LIFE FOR LIFE CLUB AND EXTENSIVE VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION.

SO THEY ARE A BIG PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

WE LOOK TO SUPPORT THEM HOW WE CAN AND CELEBRATE THEM AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT WE CAN AS WELL.

CONNECTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT LIKE, WHAT IS A COMMUNITY SCHOOL? I THINK VILLAGE ELEMENTARY REALLY IS THE PORTRAIT OF THAT.

SO OUR FACILITY PROVIDES A TON OF SERVICES FOR STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY IN ADDITION TO THEIR EDUCATION.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE A PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM.

WE HAVE BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CHILD CARE SERVICES THROUGH CHAMPIONS.

WE HAVE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH PROVIDED TO ALL STUDENTS, A VARIETY OF AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT OUR CAMPUS, COUNSELING SERVICES AND SUMMER SCHOOL.

IN OTHER WORDS, LIKE THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AT VILLAGE EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND WE REALLY ARE ONE OF THE MAIN HUBS TO SERVICE CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NOT ONLY WE TAKE SERIOUSLY, BUT WE ALSO TAKE PRIDE IN DOING IT AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL.

AND THEN ALSO JUST IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS, WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR PARTNERS WITH THE CSF, OUR PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATIONS, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, CORONADO LIBRARY TO INCORPORATE CURRICULUM, SERVICES AND EXPERIENCES THAT OUR FAMILIES VALUE.

SO REALLY, JUST THIS COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS IS WHAT MAKES VILLAGE SUCH A STRONG PLACE TO TO HAVE YOUR CHILD GO TO.

SO WHAT WE'RE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WALK ONTO OUR CAMPUS, WE'RE CURRENTLY AT OUR FOUR EXPECTATIONS, RIGHT? THINGS THAT WE EXPECT FROM STUDENTS ON A DAILY BASIS BEING SAFE, BEING RESPECTFUL, BEING RESPONSIBLE AND BEING KIND.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE EXPLICIT LESSONS WHERE WE TEACH THESE THINGS.

THEY'RE REINFORCED IN CLASSROOMS AND THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL, AND WE HOLD STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR MAINTAINING THESE EXPECTATIONS.

WE ARE GOING TO TRANSITION THIS TO THE SEVEN HABITS THROUGH LEADER IN ME.

THIS IS A SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING CURRICULUM, ALSO A PROGRAM FOR WHOLE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT, WHICH I'LL GET TO LATER, BUT IT'S CENTERED AROUND MOVING TO THE SEVEN HABITS.

SO I KNOW MANY OF YOU PROBABLY READ STEPHEN COVEY'S SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE.

THIS IS SORT OF A TRANSLATION TO STUDENTS IN A WAY THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR OUR YOUNG MINDS.

SO WE HAVE SEVEN HABITS.

BEING PROACTIVE, BEGINNING WITH THE END IN MIND.

PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST, THINKING WIN WIN, SEEKING FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN BE UNDERSTOOD, SYNERGIZE, AND SHARPENING THE SAW.

I'VE INTRODUCED SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS AT MY PREVIOUS SCHOOLS AND SEEN REALLY, REALLY GOOD INVESTMENT NOT ONLY FROM THE STUDENTS BUT ALSO FROM THE STAFF AS WELL.

REALLY SORT OF GROUNDING OURSELVES IN THESE VALUES NOT ONLY OF PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT BUT ALSO INTERPERSONAL COMPETENCE.

SO THINGS THAT WE LOOK TO SEE AND DEVELOP IN ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

ALL RIGHT. SO SOME NUMBERS THAT I THINK YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH.

BUT ENROLLMENT AND DEMOGRAPHICS IN TERMS OF 2022 TO 2023, WE ACTUALLY SAW ONE AROUND A 100% GROWTH IN ENROLLMENT.

AND THAT WILL BE REFLECTED IN SOME OF THE STAFFING ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO THIS IS A BIG SCHOOL.

AND THIS ALSO DOESN'T INCLUDE PRESCHOOL AS WELL.

AND SO REALLY WE ARE ABOVE 800 STUDENTS AT THIS POINT SORT OF GOING IN AND OUT ON A DAILY BASIS.

SO AS I SAID, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN TERMS OF STUDENT AND STAFF STATISTICS.

I'LL GIVE YOU JUST A MINUTE TO REVIEW THIS SLIDE.

THEY'VE REMAINED RELATIVELY CONSISTENT OVERALL.

AND SO NOTHING REALLY TO NOTE THERE.

EXCEPT FOR OUR CERTIFICATED TEACHERS, AS WITH AN INCREASE IN STUDENT ENROLLMENT THAT OBVIOUSLY TRANSLATE TO AN INCREASE IN NOT ONLY CERTIFICATED BUT ALSO TO CLASSIFIED TO SUPPORT THESE STUDENTS.

ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO SHIFT BACK INTO THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR BECAUSE I WANTED TO PRESENT DATA THAT I THINK YOU AND THE COMMUNITY CARE ABOUT.

AND SO THESE WERE OUR GOALS FOR 2023- 024 OR EXCUSE ME, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN 2022 TO 2023.

BUT WE HAD SO FOR THE GOALS THAT I CAME IN WITH AND SORT OF INHERITED, THESE WERE THE THINGS AND I WANT TO PRESENT HOW WE DID IN RELATION TO THOSE.

SO VILLAGE ELEMENTARY SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL, SMALL AND WHOLE GROUP INSTRUCTION BASED ON THEIR ACADEMIC STRENGTHS, NEEDS AND PERSONAL INTERESTS AND ASPIRATIONS. THE GOAL THAT WAS GOING TO BE GOING INTO THIS YEAR WOULD BE A 1% INCREASE FROM THE 21 AND 2022 CAPS DATA, ALSO SEEKING TO ENSURE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS BETWEEN AND AMONG ALL CORONADO UNIFIED SHAREHOLDERS.

AND THEN THIS IS MAKING SURE THERE WERE TWO REAL SORT OF ACTIONS THAT WE COULD USE TO EVIDENCE.

THIS ONE IS MAINTAINING 98% OF PARENTS PARTICIPATING IN PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES AND MAINTAINING A 400 PLUS WEEKLY READS ON THE VILLAGE NEWSLETTER.

[01:40:08]

WE HAVE AROUND 390 ISH FAMILIES.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE TRACK TO SEE, LIKE, ARE PEOPLE READING THE THINGS THAT WE'RE, WE'RE GOING OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT COMMUNICATION IS CONSISTENT.

WE DON'T WANT TO UNDER COMMUNICATE, BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO OVER COMMUNICATE.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU OVER COMMUNICATE, PEOPLE JUST REALLY STOP LISTENING.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE IS A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER.

YOU KNOW, THAT SENT OUT VIA EMAIL AND TEXT SO THAT PARENTS CAN GET IT.

I'M SORRY, ALEXIA, IF YOU KEEP GETTING TEXTS YOU KNOW, IT'S SORT OF RANDOM TIMES DURING THE WEEKEND.

BUT WE YEAH, WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE LINES OF COMMUNICATION STAY OPEN.

AND THEN ALSO FINALLY OUR THIRD AND AGAIN, OUR SPSA GOALS ARE ALIGNS TO OUR LCAP GOALS.

BUT MAKING SURE THAT THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLAN ALIGNS WITH YOU KNOW, CORONADO UNIFIED DISTRICT MASTER PLAN AND MAKING SURE ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE IN ALIGNMENT.

HARD EVIDENCE THAT BESIDES THE DOCUMENT.

BUT I THINK THAT YOU CAN FIND THAT ON OUR WEBSITE, BUT WE'RE PRETTY, PRETTY SOLID THERE.

ALL RIGHT. SO IN TERMS OF, EXCUSE ME, ACADEMIC DATA FOR CAASPP ELA IF YOU NOTICE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COLORS ARE IMPORTANT AND INTENTIONAL BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT YOU TO DO IS WE CALL IT COHORT TRACKING.

SO HOW DOES THAT SAME GROUP OF STUDENTS DO FROM 2021 TO 2022 INTO 2023? YOU KNOW, I WON'T GO INTO THE MINUTIA AND THE CURRICULUM HERE.

THAT WAS ALSO BROUGHT UP BY JENNY MOORE AT SILVER STRAND.

WE DO ALMOST IDENTICAL PROGRAMS. BUT I WILL GO INTO JUST SORT OF OVERVIEW ONE YOU KNOW, WE DID SEE SOME GROWTH IN THE FIFTH GRADE COHORT FROM 2021 TO 2022 AND THEN TO 2023. SO SOME GROWTH THERE.

BUT OVERALL YOU KNOW, UNDERPERFORMING IN MOST SUBGROUPS.

AND WE DID SEE A DIP. SO IF YOU SORT OF FOLLOW IT DIAGONALLY, BUT ALSO FROM YEAR TO YEAR NOT TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT WE'RE GOING TO IMPROVE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M ADAMANT ABOUT AS PRINCIPAL IS THAT WE DON'T EXPLAIN AWAY DATA.

WE OWN IT, WE LOOK AT IT AND WE WORK TO GET BETTER.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO EXPLAIN TO YOU AS A BOARD.

IS THAT SOMETHING I'M COMMITTED TO IS INSTRUCTIONAL IMPROVEMENT FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT? TWO THINGS THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW HERE.

ONE IS INCORPORATION OF MONTHLY PLCS TO IMPROVE TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

THESE ARE REALLY STRUCTURES WHERE TEACHERS COLLABORATE TOGETHER.

THEY HAVE A HALF DAY RELEASE, AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SET INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS, LOOK AT HOW THEIR STUDENTS ARE DOING, AND WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE INSTRUCTION THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR, AND THEN A CONTINUATION OF HIGH LEVERAGE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP FOR ALL TEACHING STAFF.

IF YOU HAVE REVIEWED SORT OF HOW EVALUATIONS GO, RIGHT, OUR PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES ARE EVALUATED EVERY YEAR.

BUT THEN ONCE THEY MOVE ON TO PERMANENT STATUS, YOU KNOW, IT'S SORT OF ONCE EVERY FEW YEARS.

AND I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN YOU KNOW, NOT EVALUATIVE, BUT ALSO SUBSTANTIAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE.

AND SO SOME OF THE TEACHERS ARE PROBABLY LIKE, WHY IS HE IN MY CLASSROOM ALL THE TIME? AND LIKE, WHY ARE WE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT INSTRUCTION? AND SO REALLY IT IS INTENTIONAL.

IT'S ONE OF THESE THINGS WHERE IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE EVALUATIVE OR TO BE STRESSFUL, BUT REALLY JUST TO ENGAGE THE TEACHERS IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT TEACHING AND LEARNING.

HOW ARE THINGS GOING? HOW CAN I WORK WITH EVERYBODY TO HELP REACH OUR GOALS AND HELP IMPROVE INSTRUCTION? SO THOSE ARE TWO THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO.

IN TERMS OF ACADEMIC DATA IN TERMS OF SO FOR MATH IF YOU FOLLOW IT DIAGONALLY AS WELL, SIMILAR TREND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO SEE THAT REVERSED, RIGHT? WE WANT TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS IN INSTRUCTION ON A YEAR OVER YEAR BASIS.

WE DO HAVE MATH INTERVENTION AND WE DO HAVE SIGNIFICANT TIER TWO SUPPORTS.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE NOTICED IS YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES TIER TWO SUPPORTS CAN GET IN THE WAY OF REALLY HIGH QUALITY TIER ONE INSTRUCTION.

THE TEACHERS HAVE BEEN COMING UP TO ME AND SAID, LIKE, LISTEN, PETE YOU KNOW, THESE STUDENTS THAT ARE PULLED FOR TIER TWO DURING THESE SPECIFIC TIMES THAT WE HAVE DURING OUR.

IT WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY GREAT IF I COULD WORK ON THEM ON SOME OF THAT GRADE LEVEL CONTENT.

AND SO I'M REALLY LOOKING AT OUR MASTER SCHEDULE TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE COULD WE HAVE SOME OF THAT TIME FOR CONSISTENT TIER TWO SUPPORT WHEN NECESSARY, BUT NOT NECESSARILY HAVE IT COME AT THE EXPENSE OF HIGH QUALITY TIER ONE INSTRUCTION.

AND REALLY SOME OF THAT FEEDBACK THE TEACHERS COULD BE GIVING TO THE STUDENTS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS.

SO FOR EXAMPLE YOU KNOW, JOHNNY IS STRUGGLING IN MATH CLASS DOESN'T HAVE A GREAT LESSON.

THAT DATA IS THEN ANALYZED BY THE TEACHER.

THEN DURING THE NEXT WIN TIME.

WHAT I NEED THAT BLOCK OF TIME, THE TEACHER IS THEN ABLE TO LOOK AT HOW JOHNNY IS DOING AND ADDRESS IT IMMEDIATELY AND CLOSE THAT FEEDBACK LOOP INSTEAD OF WAITING, YOU KNOW, 4 OR 5 WEEKS FOR THE DATA TO BECOME EVIDENT AND THEN FOR THE STUDENT TO BE PULLED FOR INTERVENTION.

SO REALLY, THE NAME OF THE GAME IS TO CLOSE THAT INSTRUCTIONAL FEEDBACK LOOP QUICKLY.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR INTENTIONS MOVING INTO NEXT YEAR.

SO MORE FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT.

[01:45:01]

HOW ARE WE CLOSING THAT FEEDBACK LOOP QUICKLY.

AND THEN ALSO IN ADDITION TO ELA.

SO MONTHLY PLCS IS A TOOL THAT WE CAN USE TO IMPROVE INSTRUCTION.

AND ALSO HIGH LEVERAGE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL TEACHING STAFF.

ALL RIGHT. CAST SCIENCE DATA.

THIS ONE YOU CAN READ SORT OF ACROSS THE BOARD.

AGAIN, THE DATA SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

IT NEEDS TO GET BETTER.

AND WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON THAT.

SO YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY HAS THE DISTRICT INVESTED IN A STEM TOSA TO REALLY SORT OF LOOK AT INSTRUCTION, HELP ALIGN IT TO SOME OF THE NEW NGSS TEACHING STANDARDS, AND ALSO OUR ILAB TEACHER, TONY TRINIDAD.

SO WHAT WE'RE REALLY A LITTLE BIT MORE ALIGNED ACROSS THE BOARD IN TERMS OF TEACHERS TEACHING SCIENCE.

BUT THEN ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED IS JUST IN TERMS OF SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES INSTRUCTION, SOMETIMES WHERE IT FALLS ALONG THE SCHOOL DAY.

RIGHT? IT'S ALWAYS AT THE END RIGHT NOW.

AND TEACHERS WILL TELL YOU, LIKE, STUDENTS ARE QUITE LITERALLY AT THE END OF THEIR ROPE AT THE END OF THE DAY.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND SHIFT SOME THINGS TO MAYBE HAVE IT EARLIER IN THE DAY AND SHIFT SOME THINGS AROUND.

SO THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY ARE STUDENTS A LITTLE BIT MORE FRESH AND ALERT TO BE RECEIVING SOME OF THIS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION, BUT THEN ALSO HAVING IT WHEELED AS WELL.

I WASN'T A FULL TIME ELEMENTARY TEACHER, I WAS I TAUGHT IN ELEMENTARY AND I DID BASICALLY LIKE A STEM TEACHER.

SO I SAW ALL GRADE LEVELS.

BUT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, AS AN ELEMENTARY TEACHER, HAVING TO TEACH ALL 4 OR 5 SUBJECTS A DAY CAN BE QUITE STRENUOUS.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO INCORPORATE, WE CALL IT A WHEEL OR SORT OF A ROTATION WHERE STUDENTS WILL BE, WHERE TEACHERS WILL BE ABLE TO SPECIALIZE IN TEACHING EITHER SCIENCE OR SOCIAL STUDIES OR WRITING.

AND THEN THE STUDENTS WILL SORT OF LIKE IN A MIDDLE SCHOOL, RIGHT? THEY'LL GO TO DIFFERENT CLASSROOMS TO RECEIVE THAT INSTRUCTION.

SO THE INTENTION IS TO MAKE IT EASIER ON THE TEACHERS TO MAKE SURE THAT CONSISTENT INSTRUCTION INSTRUCTION IS HAPPENING AT A HIGH LEVEL FOR STUDENTS AND THAT ALSO, FRANKLY, STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE THAT INSTRUCTION AT A TIME IN THE DAY THAT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE BENEFICIAL.

SO THAT'S A PLAN THERE.

ALL RIGHT, ENGLISH LEARNER DATA.

IN TERMS OF GOOD DATA, WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU KNOW, FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS WHO ARE YOU KNOW, TO BE HONEST, A VULNERABLE GROUP OF STUDENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, REALLY NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTED THROUGH OVER TIME.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A REALLY POSITIVE TREND TO SEE FROM 2022 TO 2023.

SO THE GOAL FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS IS YOU WANT THEM TO DEVELOP ONE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEVEL PROFICIENCY PER YEAR.

SO LOWEST TO HIGHEST ONE, TWO, THREE AND FOUR, ONE BEING THE LOWEST, FOUR BEING THE HIGHEST.

YOU SHOULD SEE YOU KNOW YEAR OVER YEAR MOVING IN 1 TO 2, 2 TO 3, 3 TO 4 AND THEN FOUR.

THEY RECLASSIFY AS FLUENT IN ENGLISH.

AND SO YOU'LL NOTICE IN THE PURPLE HERE WE HAD A BIG INCREASE IN STUDENTS WHO ARE PROGRESSING AT LEAST ONE ELD LEVEL.

AND THE GOAL HERE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS ALL PURPLE RIGHT.

AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON.

BUT GOOD TO SEE THAT THERE'S PROGRESS THERE.

ATTENDANCE DATA.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE KEY THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT AS A SCHOOL IS CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM RATE.

AND THIS WAS FOR THE 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR, SO LAST ONE.

CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM WAS AT 11.8%, AND IT'S ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, SORT OF HOVERED AROUND THAT LEVEL FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR AS WELL.

THAT'S MUCH HIGHER THAN WE WANT IT TO BE.

AND PRESENTS AN ISSUE NOT ONLY BECAUSE WE'RE FUNDED BY AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE.

RIGHT. SO STUDENTS MISSING SCHOOL AFFECTS OUR REVENUES.

BUT THEN ALSO JUST IMPACT ON LEARNING, RIGHT? WE KNOW AND THE DATA IS VERY, VERY CLEAR THAT STUDENTS WHO ARE CHRONICALLY ABSENT NOT ONLY HAVE REDUCED EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES, BUT A LOT OF TIMES REDUCED OVERALL LIFE OUTCOMES AS WELL. RIGHT? AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY WANT TO ADDRESS.

AND SO WE DO SEND REGULAR ATTENDANCE LETTER HOMES TO FAMILIES.

WE HAVE START MEETINGS AT WHEN NECESSARY TO TRY AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY GET THE FAMILY TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THEIR KID ATTEND SCHOOL CONSISTENTLY.

IT'S ALWAYS DONE IN A SOLUTION ORIENTED WAY, LIKE, WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU? OR WHAT RESOURCES CAN WE PROVIDE YOU TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT JOHNNY'S COMING IN AND GETTING HIS EDUCATION? AND THEN ONE OF THE THINGS I'M BRINGING UP TO OUR SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAM IS POSSIBLY ATTENDANCE, INCENTIVES AND RECOGNITION AND RECOGNIZING STUDENTS WHO ARE SHOWING UP CONSISTENTLY FOR THE 2024 AND 25 SCHOOL YEAR.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I'M ALWAYS SORT OF CONFLICTED ON THIS IS BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT CAN RESULT IN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, RIGHT? YOU DON'T IF JOHNNY IS SICK.

RIGHT? BUT THERE'S AN ATTENDANCE INCENTIVE, RIGHT? YOU DON'T WANT HIM COMING TO SCHOOL AND GETTING MORE KIDS SICK.

SO YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S A LITTLE BIT NUANCED THERE, BUT WE DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE AND CELEBRATE AND TRY AND INCENTIVIZE STUDENTS COMING TO SCHOOL.

ALL RIGHT. SO PROGRESS TOWARDS OUR GOALS FROM OUR PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR.

SO AGAIN THE GOAL WAS A 1% INCREASE IN CASPASE DATA.

THIRD GRADE NOT MET, FOURTH GRADE PARTIALLY MET, BUT OVERALL NOT MET.

[01:50:02]

I'VE BEEN TRYING TRYING TO BE CLEAR THAT WE NEED TO BE BETTER.

AND WE WILL BE. IN TERMS OF OUR COMMUNICATION GOAL IN TERMS OF 98% PARTICIPATING IN PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE, THAT GOAL WAS MET AND 400 WEEKLY READS ON THE NEWSLETTER ALSO MET.

SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE ARE READING WHAT WE'RE SENDING OUT.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF OUR EMERGENCY DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLAN, WE ACTUALLY GOT TO YOU KNOW, USE IN REAL TIME IN JANUARY.

THAT WAS ALSO THAT WAS ALSO MET.

SO NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A SOLID PLAN, BUT THEN WE ALSO WERE ABLE TO EXECUTE SOME OF THESE THINGS REALLY IN A FLOOD THAT WE HAVEN'T PRACTICED.

SO I WANTED TO SHARE JUST HOW PROUD I AM OF ALL OF MY STAFF AND STUDENTS THAT DAY.

YOU KNOW, HOW WE RESPONDED TO THAT EMERGENCY WAS REALLY, REALLY IMPRESSIVE.

ALL RIGHT, SO SOME HIGHLIGHTS HERE.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES ME REALLY PROUD TO BE AT VILLAGE IS I GET TO BE IN CLASSROOMS EVERY DAY AND SEE THE AMAZING WORK THAT OUR TEACHERS ARE DOING WITH OUR STUDENTS. SO THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, SOME THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT.

I KNOW FIFTH GRADE DOES A GENIUS HOUR OR A PASSION PROJECT WHERE STUDENTS GET TO TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLORE SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE PASSIONATE IN AND THEN CREATE A PROJECT AND A PRESENTATION AROUND IT? THERE ARE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR HANDS ON LEARNING.

ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT THERE.

WE HAVE OUR MISSION PROJECT WHERE STUDENTS GET TO CREATE A MISSION YOU KNOW, THAT'S TIED TO THE CALIFORNIA HISTORY STANDARDS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF RIGOROUS AND DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION ALSO HAPPENING TO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN BLOWN AWAY BY WITH THE TEACHERS IS THEIR ABILITY TO TARGET WHAT EXACTLY WHAT THE KIDS NEED AND PROVIDE THAT INSTRUCTION TO THEM.

AND THAT'S HAPPENING THROUGH OUR WIN TIME, BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

SO KIDS ARE STAYING ENGAGED AND GETTING THEY'RE GETTING EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED.

AND THEN LASTLY, ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK THAT THIS IS WORTH STATING WHAT I'VE BEEN MOST IMPRESSED WITH IS JUST HOW MUCH OUR TEACHERS CARE ABOUT OUR STUDENTS.

YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND IN EVERY CLASSROOM THAT I OBSERVE ON A DAILY BASIS SHOWING NOT ONLY THEIR PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE, BUT THEN ALSO THEIR ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR STUDENTS.

THEY KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THEM, THEY KNOW THEIR NEEDS, AND THEY WORK REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE RELATIONSHIPS ARE STRONG.

AND THAT IS WHAT I THINK IS IS THE BIGGEST ASSET OUR TEACHERS AND ALSO THE CONNECTION THAT THEY MAKE TO THEIR STUDENTS.

SO SPSA GOALS FOR 2023-2024.

SO I KNOW IT'S WE'RE SORT OF IN A WEIRD TIME, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FOR LIKE THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR.

BUT THESE ARE DUE IN APRIL AND I THINK WE'RE REVISING IT.

SO THAT WAY IT'S A LITTLE IT FLOWS A LITTLE BIT MORE LOGICALLY, BUT WE ARE STILL GOING TO HAVE REVISED GOALS AROUND CAASPP ELA, MATH CAASPP AND ELPAC PROGRESS.

THOSE ARE REALLY FOUR METRICS THAT I'M CUED IN ON AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE IMPROVEMENTS THERE.

LCAP COMMUNICATION.

SO IF YOU NOTICE, THEY'RE TIED TO OUR LCAP GOALS IN TERMS OF OUR COMMUNICATION GOALS, I REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS AROUND COMMUNITY BUILDING AND MAKING SURE THAT VILLAGE CONTINUES TO BE A COMMUNITY SCHOOL AND THAT THESE COMMUNITY BONDS ARE STRENGTHENED WITH OUR PARENTS.

OUR PARENTS ARE SUCH AN ASSET AND PARTNERS IN THEIR EDUCATION, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE BRINGING THEM IN, MAKING THAT CONNECTION AND USING THEM AS REALLY AS A PARTNER IN THEIR CHILD'S EDUCATION.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOLS WHERE STUDENTS AND STAFF THRIVE, LEADER IN ME REALLY DOES HAVE A FRAMEWORK FOR WHOLE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS.

AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS ARE DEVELOPING THE CHARACTER THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE WITH THEM AS WELL AS THEIR INTERPERSONAL COMPETENCIES.

SO INITIATIVES FOR NEXT YEAR, LEADER IN ME IMPLEMENTATION, FOCUSING ON SOME TIER TWO BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS THROUGH AN AUGMENTED SST PROCESS, WE NOTICED THAT SOME THINGS ARE SORT OF FALLING THROUGH THE GAPS IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTS THAT WE PROVIDE STUDENTS.

WE'VE TARGETED IT, AND WE'RE CREATING A PLAN TO HELP SUPPORT SOME KIDS THAT THAT NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE HELP.

MONTHLY PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES TO SET INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS AND IMPROVE TEACHING AND LEARNING.

INSTRUCTIONAL ROTATIONS LIKE A WHEEL TO IMPROVE SCIENCE INSTRUCTION.

AND, YOU KNOW, MONTHLY COMMUNITY BUILDING COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS AT VILLAGE.

RIGHT. SO YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT.

I KNOW, LIKE WE'RE KNOWN FOR OUR, YOU KNOW, HUGE VETERANS DAY CELEBRATION.

AND WE HAVE JOGATHON THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT REALLY JUST MONTHLY THINGS TO BRING PARENTS IN, TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE THAT VILLAGE CONTINUES TO BE THE STRONG COMMUNITY SCHOOL THAT IT IS.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO END OFF WITH A DIRECTION LIKE WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH ME HERE.

THIS IS THIS IS WHAT GUIDES ME ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS.

SO IT'S WHERE STUDENTS FEEL LOVED, ACCEPTED AND EXCITED TO LEARN.

WHERE 100% OF STUDENTS PERFORM ON GRADE LEVEL ON ALL SUBJECTS AND INDIVIDUAL LEARNING GOALS, WHERE ALL STAFF FEEL VALUED, EMPOWERED, AND SUPPORTED.

AT WORK, WE'RE GOING TO COMPARE OURSELVES TO OURSELVES, BUT WE WILL BE THE BEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY THAT EMBODIES EXCELLENCE AND EVERYTHING THAT I DO.

THAT'S MY COMMITMENT TO YOU AS A BOARD TO OUR STUDENTS AND TO OUR COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

SO THANK YOU. BEFORE TRUSTEE COMMENTS, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON

[01:55:07]

THIS ITEM? TRUSTEES.

ANY COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? OH, DO YOU HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT? PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY, COME ON UP TO THE MICROPHONE.

YOU CONTINUE TO USE THE WORD ADVOCATE.

THANK YOU PETER. YEAH I KNOW IT'S WHAT WE'RE ABOUT.

YEAH. THAT WAS DEFINITELY LESS THAN THREE MINUTES.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

WELL I'LL START. I LOVE THE COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS IDEA.

I HAVE SPENT SOME TIME GOING AROUND TO THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, AND I THINK PTOS ARE IMPORTANT TO THE SCHOOLS, BUT WE DEFINITELY HAVE LOW ATTENDANCE ACROSS THE BOARD, I THINK.

AND SO I THINK SOMETHING LIKE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT MAY BUILD THAT RELATIONSHIP AND THE INVESTMENT OF PARENTS IN THE SCHOOL AND COMING INTO THE SCHOOL, I THINK ESPECIALLY IN ELEMENTARY, WHERE PARENTS WANT TO BE INVOLVED.

SO HAVING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES, I THINK IS GOING TO BE REALLY HELPFUL AND WE KNOW PARENT INVOLVEMENT WILL ALSO HELP WITH ACADEMICS AND ATTENDANCE AND EVERYTHING FROM THERE.

SO YEAH. THANKS, ALEXI.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I JUST SORT OF NOTICED IS LIKE WE ASK A LOT OF OUR PARENTS, I KNOW THEY DONATE TO CSF, THEY DONATE TO OUR [INAUDIBLE].

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS LIKE, OKAY, SO YES, WE'RE ASKING A LOT OF THEM.

WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THEIR SUPPORT, BUT WHAT CAN WE ALSO DO TO SHOW OUR GRATITUDE TO THAT, BUT THEN ALSO CREATE LIKE WHAT CAN VILLAGE DO TO HELP, YOU KNOW, HAVE COMMUNITY EVENTS TO BE AN ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY? SO THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING I'M LOOKING TO DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION, PRINCIPAL KUHNS.

THE WHAT I'M AWARE OF AND I KNOW YOU ARE UNDERLYING EVERYTHING YOU'RE TELLING US IS EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES AND AND INSTRUCTIONAL PEDAGOGY.

AND, YOU KNOW, I SEE I READ IEPS FOR A LIVING, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I, I KNOW WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM.

AND I'M SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT YOUR DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR IMPLEMENTATION PROCESSES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'RE COMMITTING TO AND REALLY BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN OUR, OUR TEAM AND OUR KIDDOS.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW IT GROWS FROM HERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

THE LEADER IN ME PROGRAM.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE KIND OF DIPPING YOUR TOES INTO A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR TO REALLY ROLL OUT NEXT YEAR? AND WHAT HAS STAFF RESPONSE BEEN TO TO THAT PROGRAM? YEAH. RENEE. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

SO THIS IS WE'VE SORT OF PILOTED IT THIS YEAR.

IT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WHERE I KNOW DOCTOR BURGENER SORT OF BROUGHT TEACHERS TO LOOK AT YOU KNOW, THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AND THERE WERE THERE WAS SOME POSITIVE MOMENTUM GOING THERE.

IT WAS SORT OF SERENDIPITOUS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I WAS WORKING ON IT AT MY PREVIOUS SCHOOL.

AND SO WHEN I TALKED TO TEACHERS, I SAID, LIKE, YOU KNOW, NOT GOING TO FORCE YOU TO DO ANYTHING, BUT IF THIS IS SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE LOOKING FOR A ROBUST SEL CURRICULUM, YOU KNOW, THAT ALSO SORT OF EXTENDS TO WHOLE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT.

LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING TO TRY OUT.

I THINK THAT STAFF REACTION HAS FOR THE TEACHERS THAT HAVE BEEN DOING IT HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, FAIRLY POSITIVE.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST YEAR, A LOT OF WORKING OUT THE KINKS, TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

BUT THEN ALSO KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF IT IS JUST LIKE WE NEED, YOU KNOW, WE MAY NEED TO DO SOME OF THESE THINGS OVER AGAIN OR, YOU KNOW, NOW, NOW THAT WE'VE DONE IT YOU KNOW, WE KNOW HOW TO DO IT BETTER NEXT TIME.

SO BUT OVERALL, WHEN I TALK TO MY STAFF, PRETTY POSITIVE.

AND THEN KNOWING THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO GET BETTER AS, AS WE DEVELOP LESSONS NEXT TIME, IT'S LIKE BEING A TEACHER, RIGHT? IT'S LIKE FIRST, FIRST GO AROUND LIKE, OH, I WISH I SHOULD HAVE DONE X, Y, AND Z, BUT NEXT GO AROUND, I GOT IT.

THANK YOU. AND THEN THE WIND TIME THAT YOU HAVE, HOW OFTEN IS THAT? AND IS ARE THE ACTIVITIES SELF-SELECTED BY THE STUDENT LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE TEACHER MIGHT SAY, YEAH, WHAT YOU NEED IS MATH.

BUT WHAT I WANT TO DO IS SOMETHING ELSE.

SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN REALLY PROUD OF, A LOT OF THE GOALS THAT THE GRADE LEVEL TEAMS DEVELOPED AROUND WIND TIME.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR FIRST PART OF YOUR QUESTION, YES, IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES.

AND THIS IS THIS IS ALSO A TIME WHERE TIER TWO INTERVENTIONS AND SOME TIER THREE INTERVENTIONS ARE HAPPENING AS WELL.

SO IF THEY'RE PULLED OUT FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES OR READING OR MATH INTERVENTION THAT HAPPENS DURING THIS TIME.

BUT THEN ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN PROUD OF TEACHERS WORKING WITH IS THEY HAVE SORT OF THEY CALL THEM LIKE THEIR MUST DO'S AND THEIR MAY DO'S.

SO IT'S SORT OF PRIORITIZED FOR STUDENTS ALREADY, BUT REALLY IN TERMS OF GETTING STUDENT OWNERSHIP OVER THEIR OWN LEARNING, HAVING STUDENTS LOOK AT THEIR OWN DATA AND THEN PRIORITIZING EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.

SO NOT ONLY LIKE THESE ARE ASSIGNMENTS THAT ARE DUE AT THE END OF THE WEEK OR LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS HOW I DID ON MY PREVIOUS MATH TEST.

THIS IS WHERE EXCEL IS SHOWING I NEED TO GROW.

SO I'M GOING TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND I'M GOING TO SPEND X, Y, AND Z AMOUNT OF TIME WORKING ON THIS GOAL THAT I'VE SET FOR MYSELF.

SO TEACHERS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB OF BEING TRANSPARENT ABOUT STUDENT DATA.

STUDENTS REALLY STARTING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THESE THINGS.

[02:00:02]

AND THEY'RE REFLECTING IN JOURNALS AS WELL.

SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN PROUD OF.

VERY NICE. GREAT. THANK YOU.

I HEARD ABOUT THE YOUR WHEEL CLASSES.

SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT IN THE FUTURE, IN THE FALL? AND THEN MY MY NEXT QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT WHAT TEACHERS WOULD BE SPECIFICALLY TEACHING LIKE, IS IT JUST MATH AND SCIENCE, OR IS THERE ENGLISH IN THERE TOO? AND IF YOU COULD ELABORATE ON? YEAH, WHY. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THIS RIGHT NOW.

THE COMMITTEE THAT IS DOING A MASTER SCHEDULE REVISE.

AND SO I THINK IT'S MOST APPROPRIATE FOR GRADES THREE THROUGH FIVE.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO START.

I DID OFFER THE INVITATION FOR ALL GRADE LEVELS TO CONSIDER IT BUT FOR THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE, REALLY YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD HAVE AND SORT OF HOW IT WORKS OUT IN THE SCHEDULE IS KIND OF COMPLICATED, BUT WE'D HAVE ONE TEACHER THAT TEACHES SCIENCE, ONE TEACHER THAT TEACHES SOCIAL STUDIES.

AND THEN POTENTIALLY BECAUSE IT'S A REALLY IF THERE ARE FOUR TEACHERS, RIGHT, AND YOU HAVE A TWO AND TWO SWAP, IT'S EASY, BUT WITH AN ODD NUMBER IT GETS A LITTLE, LITTLE TRICKY. SO ONE TEACHER POTENTIALLY TEACHING WRITING.

SO WE'D HAVE IF THERE ARE FIVE CLASSES WHICH THERE ARE NOW CURRENTLY IN ALMOST ALL GRADE LEVELS, YOU WOULD HAVE SO YOU'D HAVE A PAIR, RIGHT.

ONE TEACHER TEAM TEACHING SCIENCE, ONE TEACHER TEACHING SOCIAL STUDIES.

AND THEN THOSE CLASSES FLIP FLOP.

BUT THEN FOR THE REST OF THEM, FOR THE THREE TEACHERS THAT ARE LEFT, YOU'D HAVE A THREE WAY WHEEL.

SO SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES AND WRITING AND THEN YOU'D HAVE THAT.

WE'LL TAKE ABOUT 90 MINUTES FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH BOTH OF THEM IN ORDER TO, TO BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY WIELD THAT.

AND SO I THINK FOR SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES INSTRUCTION SINCE WEDNESDAY IS A SHORT DAY, HARD TO FIT IT IN, BUT IT WOULD BE TWO DAYS SCIENCE, TWO DAYS SOCIAL STUDIES LIKE A MONDAY, TUESDAY, A THURSDAY, FRIDAY.

BUT THEN IF THAT THREE WAY WHEEL WRITING WOULD ALSO BE INCORPORATED SO THEY, THEY'D SHIFT THAT WAY.

AND IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO ROLL OUT IN THE, IN THE FALL.

YES. OKAY.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU..

VERY.. FINISHED.

YEAH. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PRINCIPAL KUHNS, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO, IT'S IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE YOU'VE CERTAINLY BEEN BRINGING THIS UP AND MENTIONING THIS, BUT IN TERMS OF INVOLVING THE FACULTY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GOALS FOR THE SCHOOL AND, AND, AND GETTING AS MUCH BUY IN AS POSSIBLE IN SETTING AND THEN ACHIEVING THE GOALS. AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, ABSOLUTELY, STAFF BUY IN IS SOMETHING THAT I TRY AND, AND DO AS BEST AS I CAN.

SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS A LEADER, IT'S MY JOB TO SORT OF SET LIKE VISION AND DIRECTION FOR THE SCHOOL.

BUT I TELL MY STAFF EVERY TIME I MEET WITH THEM, YOU KNOW, I DO THINGS WITH YOU, NOT TO YOU OR FOR YOU.

RIGHT? AND SO REALLY GETTING THEIR PERSPECTIVE OF LIKE, THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE CONSIDERING, WHAT CAN IT LOOK LIKE.

AND SO EVERY TIME DECISIONS ARE MADE EITHER THROUGH OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM OR FOR EXAMPLE, THIS MOST RECENT LIKE MASTER SCHEDULE REVISE, IT'S DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH TEACHERS.

AND THEN THAT COMMUNICATION OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, HERE'S SOME OF THE THINGS THAT LIKE COULD BE IMPROVED IN OUR SCHOOL.

HERE'S SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT WE BROUGHT TO THE TABLE, LIKE HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE SHIFTS ARE HAPPENING? SO YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU REALLY LEVERAGING THAT TEACHER VOICE THERE HELPS BUILD BUY IN.

ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETIMES BUYING ALWAYS ISN'T AT 100% BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, CLEARLY COMMUNICATING THE WHY BEHIND THESE THINGS INVOLVING TEACHERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEM.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, LIKE ALSO SOLICITING FEEDBACK AND APPROVING.

SO. WELL, THANK YOU.

I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT SENTIMENT.

AND I KNOW, I KNOW PREVIOUSLY, AND I ALSO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT AND SETTING AND SETTING GOALS TO TRY TO ADDRESS THAT.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT, AND I KNOW PREVIOUSLY I'VE SPOKEN ABOUT INNOVATIVE WAYS TO TRY TO INCENTIVIZE YOU KNOW, IMPROVEMENT IN RESULTS, ETC..

AND BUT IT COMES, IT COMES FROM THAT SORT OF MOTIVATION.

SO I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR THAT.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, GUYS.

[5.4 Learning Department Report: Senior Director of Learning, Dr. Megan Battle]

ITEM 5.4, LEARNING DEPARTMENT REPORT.

DOCTOR MEGAN BATTLE, DID YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE? YES. AS DOCTOR BATTLE MAKES HER WAY UP TO THE PODIUM, I'M JUST WANT TO REMIND THE GOVERNING BOARD THIS IS A REPORT.

THERE'S NO ACTION ATTACHED TO THIS REPORT.

THIS WAS A REQUEST BY THE GOVERNING BOARD TO TAKE A LOOK AT, AS WE'RE READING THROUGH CSBCA AND OTHER STATEWIDE INITIATIVES, SOME DISTRICTS ARE TAKING A CRITICAL LOOK AT THE ROLE OF THE STUDENT TRUSTEE.

AND WE WANTED TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR GOVERNING BOARD TO KIND OF DISCUSS EXISTING PRACTICES.

ANY INFORMATION OR COMMENTARY THAT COMES OUT OF THIS DISCUSSION WILL BE TAKEN BY STAFF TO PRINCIPAL MOLINA, TO THE ASB DIRECTOR MISS BELONG, AND TO THE

[02:05:07]

STUDENTS, SO I ANTICIPATE A FOLLOW UP DISCUSSION WITH THE GOVERNING BOARD AT A FUTURE MEETING.

THIS EVENING IS REALLY JUST PRELIMINARY THREE THEMES THAT I WAS REQUESTED TO BRING FORWARD.

AND DOCTOR BATTLE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

SORRY IF I JUST GAVE YOU A REPORT.

JUST READ MY PREAMBLE HERE.

YEAH, TO MY REPORT.

DOCTOR BATTLE. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, GOVERNING BOARD.

AS REQUESTED BY THE BOARD, THIS REPORT REVIEWS THE CURRENT PROCESS RELATED TO APPOINTMENT OF OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT CUSD IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ED CODE AND ALSO CURRENT BOARD POLICY REGARDING STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS AND HOW THEY'RE APPOINTED. I KNOW YOU'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE REPORT, AND WE WILL PAUSE FOR ANY DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 5.4? TRUSTEES. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN REALLY EXCITED ABOUT. MY MY MAIN INTENTION FOR THIS THIS YEAR WAS INCREASING STUDENT VOICE.

AND SO WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE CSBA CONFERENCE WHERE WE SAW SOME REALLY AMAZING AND INSPIRING STUDENT TRUSTEES LIKE OUR AMAZING ASB PRESIDENT. SO AFTER REVIEWING ALL THIS, I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO ASK PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, MR. REVIE, AND ASK YOU WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON POSSIBLY ADDING, I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE POSSIBLY ADDING A SECOND STUDENT TRUSTEE. I HAVE BEEN THINKING A LOT, AND AFTER READING THE REPORT, I HAVE TO SAY I WOULD BE MOVED TO PUT ANOTHER PERSON UP HERE WITH ME AS STUDENT REPRESENTATION OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.

I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA.

I THINK THAT WHILE I REPRESENT A LOT OF THE STUDENT BODY THROUGH ASB AND MY LEADERSHIP CLASS AND ALL THE SPORTS THAT I PARTICIPATE IN AND THE DIFFERENT THINGS I'M INVOLVED IN, I THINK ANOTHER STUDENT THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE THINGS THAT I MIGHT NOT BE PRIVY TO THE INFORMATION OF OR YOU KNOW, A SMALLER SUBSET OF STUDENTS THAT I MIGHT NOT REPRESENT FULLY.

THAT VOICE WOULD BE A GREAT THING TO HAVE ON THIS BOARD.

JUST CURIOUS.

BUT YOU'RE DOING YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

BUT HOW WOULD YOU ACTUALLY, SO IN IN ORDER TO TRY TO SELECT SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BRING OUT A DIFFERENT VOICE OR EXPERIENCE, HOW WOULD YOU ACTUALLY SELECT THAT PERSON OR HOW WOULD THAT PERSON BE SELECTED BY THE STUDENT BODY, ETC.? FANTASTIC QUESTION.

THAT THAT HONESTLY HAS BEEN SORT OF THE THING THAT HAS BEEN TOUGH TO COME UP WITH IN MY MIND.

SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE COSA.

COSA IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SUPER REPRESENTED IN OUR ASB CLASS.

WE HAVE A COUPLE ASB MEMBERS THAT ARE IN OUR COSA DEPARTMENT.

HOWEVER, THEIR LEADERSHIP IS NOT WELL REPRESENTED IN OUR LEADERSHIP CLASS.

HOWEVER, COSA DOES ALSO HAVE THEIR OWN PRESIDENT AND THEIR OWN OFFICER YOU KNOW, THEIR OWN OFFICERS.

AND I BELIEVE THAT IF THE PRESIDENT OF THE COSA DEPARTMENT WERE TO SIT UP ON THE BOARD, WE WOULD HAVE TWO VERY DIFFERENT BUT VERY HELPFUL YOU KNOW, OPINIONS AND POINTS OF VIEW ON DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED AT THE BOARD.

SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I BELIEVE THAT IT COULD BE EASY AS JUST SAYING THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE COSA DEPARTMENT COULD ALSO BE THE, YOU KNOW, THE PERSON ON THIS BOARD.

AS THIS AS A SENIOR, YOU'RE REALLY BUSY WITH FINISHING UP YOUR YEAR.

HOW BENEFICIAL DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE IF THE SECOND STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE WERE FROM THE JUNIOR CLASS? I THINK THAT IS A GREAT IDEA.

THE ONE THE ONE THING THAT THAT I MIGHT STRAY AWAY FROM, THAT IS I WAS A JUNIOR LAST YEAR.

AND A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WENT THROUGH AS JUNIORS.

I ARE FRESH ON MY MIND, AND NOW I'M A SENIOR, AND I'M OPEN TO A WHOLE NOTHER APPLYING TO COLLEGES SCHOLARSHIPS.

AND SO THERE'S A LOT THAT A JUNIOR MIGHT NOT FULLY REPRESENT.

SO IF THERE WERE TWO SENIORS THAT WERE BOTH JUNIORS ONCE, I COULD SEE THAT HAVING A LOT OF MERIT.

HOWEVER, THAT BEING SAID A JUNIORS DO ALSO HAVE A LOT GOING ON.

IT'S THE IN MY OPINION, IT'S THE MOST ACADEMICALLY CHALLENGING YEAR AT HIGH SCHOOL FOR ME PERSONALLY.

[02:10:04]

AND I THINK A LOT OF OTHER STUDENTS WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY.

SO ADDING ON A POSITION ON THIS BOARD MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST AND WISEST DECISION FOR SOMEONE, BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME GREAT REPRESENTATION THERE.

YEAH. I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.

SO WITH RESPECT TO YOUR, YOUR JOB OR MAYBE THE TURNOVER YOU GOT COMING INTO THIS POSITION I UNDERSTAND THE ASB CLASS IS,IS 90 MINUTES A DAY, RIGHT.

SO AND YOU WOULD TAKE THAT AS THE PRESIDENT, YOU WOULD TAKE THAT FOR THE YEAR, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. SO WE EVERY EVERY DAY WE HAVE EXCEPT WEDNESDAY, 70 MINUTES WE HAVE 90 MINUTES OF INSTRUCTION IN THAT TIME IS FOR ASB LEADERSHIP.

YEAH. RIGHT.

SO AS YOU COME IN AND YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT ELECT OF THE STUDENT BODY AND YOU GET YOU'RE GETTING THE TURNOVER.

WHAT HOW IS IT SORT OF VIEWED COMING HERE TO THE BOARD MEETING AND SITTING ON THE BOARD AND, AND ALL THAT.

HOW IS THAT VIEWED IN TERMS OF LIKE HOW THAT FITS IN, IN THE IMPORTANCE LEVEL OF WHAT EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING AS BOARD PRESIDENT, ARE YOU IS IT JUST LIKE, HEY, YOU GOT TO GO TO THIS MEETING ONCE, ONCE A MONTH AND JUST SIT THERE AND OR YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT HOW IS IT VIEWED? SURE. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

SO I THINK IT ALSO IT DEPENDS ON FROM ASB PRESIDENT TO ASB PRESIDENT.

SOME COMING INTO THIS ROLE.

BY THE WAY, I'M SPEAKING FROM READING PREVIOUS PASS DOWN BINDERS.

IT'S MY DOCUMENT THAT'S GIVEN TO ME BY THE PREVIOUS ASB PRESIDENT.

AND IT INCLUDES ALL THE PREVIOUS DOCUMENTS FROM PRIOR PRESIDENTS.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I'M SPEAKING ON.

AS FOR THE INFORMATION BUT EACH INCOMING ASB PRESIDENT VIEWS DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THEIR JOB DIFFERENTLY.

I PERSONALLY, I REALLY I LOVE GOING TO THESE MEETINGS.

IT GIVES ME A SORT OF A BEHIND THE SCENES VIEW.

AND I FEEL LIKE THE COMMENTS THAT I'M MAKING AND THE, AND THE RETURNS OF STATEMENTS THAT I'M GETTING ARE LEGITIMATE AND REAL.

AND A LOT OF THE OTHER STUFF IS IT'S THE FUN PART OF THE JOB, I WOULD SAY.

SO, LIKE, YOU KNOW, GOING TO PEP RALLIES AND YOU KNOW, LEADING MY, MY SCHOOL SPIRIT SECTION AT VARIOUS EVENTS AND HOLDING THE OTHER SIDE OF MY ROLE IS THE MORE FUN ASPECT OF MY OF MY ROLE AS ASB PRESIDENT.

SO THAT BEING SAID, THIS IS SORT OF TO SOME ASB PRESIDENTS, A DRAG, RIGHT? IT'S A LONG MEETING MULTIPLE HOURS OUT OF MY THURSDAY TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET.

THAT TO ME, YOU KNOW, IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

AND BUT I, I PERSONALLY FIND IT INTERESTING, BUT OTHERS MAY SEE IT DIFFERENTLY.

SO IN THE FUTURE, I THINK HAVING TWO MEMBERS YOU KNOW, SAY THE ASB PRESIDENT NEXT YEAR ISN'T AS APT TO THESE MEETINGS, BUT THAT OTHER REPRESENTATIVE THAT'S ELECTED IS REALLY ABOUT IT.

AND GETS REALLY INVESTED.

I COULD SEE THAT BEING A HUGE POSITIVE.

OKAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY.

YEAH. ONE MORE THING I MIGHT ADD IS ON TOP OF PERCHANCE THE THE COSA DIRECTOR BEING OR THE COSA PRESIDENT BEING THE OTHER MEMBER, I THINK ANOTHER THING COMING UP IS OUR ASB ELECTIONS FOR BOTH EXCOM MY POSITION, THE VICE PRESIDENT.

ALL THAT IS COMING UP SOON.

AND I THINK ADDING A POSITION ON THIS BOARD WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION.

YEAH. I THINK THE TOUGH, TOUGH QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, WHERE THAT STUDENT WOULD COME FROM.

WE TALK A LOT ABOUT COSA, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS THAT COULD BE UNDERREPRESENTED.

AND THE ONE THAT COMES TO MY MIND IS MILITARY.

AND WE'RE WE'RE FORTUNATE THAT WYATT HAS THAT EXPERIENCE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY EVERY ASB PRESIDENT DOES.

AND I THINK WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT COME IN AND THEIR SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR OR SENIOR YEAR THAT ARE LOOKING FOR LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, AND IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO MAYBE GET INTO ASB OR GET INTO A LEADERSHIP ROLE WHEN THEY HAVEN'T SPENT THE LAST 4 OR 5, 12 YEARS IN OUR DISTRICT.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION THAT I SEE IN MY VIEW, IS TO HAVE THAT SPECIFIC VOICE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN OUR HIGH MILITARY POPULATION.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.

I THINK THE WHAT REALLY WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, THE IDEALLY THE BEST CIRCUMSTANCE IS HAVING IF IT'S JUST TWO MEMBERS ON, YOU KNOW, IN MY POSITION PEOPLE THAT LIKE, HIGHLIGHT DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE SCHOOL TO THE BEST OF THE ABILITY THAT THAT IT CAN BE.

[02:15:02]

SO LIKE YOU SAID, MY FATHER HAS BEEN SERVING IN THE MILITARY FOR 33 YEARS NOW.

SO I, I HAVE A BIG MILITARY CONNECTION, AND I AM THE, YOU KNOW, THE LEADER OF MY LEADERSHIP CLASS.

SO I HAVE LIKE THAT SORT OF AREA COVERED.

AND THE COSA IS IS SOMETHING THAT I MIGHT NOT BE VERY WELL REPRESENTED REPRESENTATIVE OF.

BUT IN THE FUTURE THAT OBVIOUSLY CHANGES.

SO. YES.

WELL, AND I THINK IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT EDCO, THE STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS CHOSEN BY THE STUDENTS.

SO WE COULD OPEN THIS UP.

BUT ULTIMATELY THE CHOICE IS THE VOICE OF THE STUDENTS AND WHO THEY WANT REPRESENTING THEM.

WELL, I GUESS MY MY THINKING IS IT SEEMS LIKE AN IDEA WORTH CONSIDERING FURTHER.

AND I THINK, AS KIND OF SUGGESTED BY SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER WOULD PERHAPS ASK HIM AND HIS STAFF AND PRINCIPAL MOLINA AND AND MR. REVIE, MS. BELONG TO SUGGEST A PROCEDURE TO BE PRESCRIBED BY THE BOARD AND YOU KNOW, PER CODE 35 012 TO BRING IT BACK TO US IN THE HOPES OF MAYBE, LIKE WYATT SAYS, GETTING IT ON THE BALLOT FOR THEIR UPCOMING ELECTIONS AND HAVING THAT INCREASED VISIBILITY AND VOICE YOU KNOW, CAN ONLY BENEFIT US BECAUSE WE KNOW, I, WE KNOW WE'RE HERE TO SERVE THEM.

SO THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION IF POSSIBLE.

ALSO THERE WERE THREE CONSIDERATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS ON THIS.

SO THE OTHER TWO WERE THE COMPENSATION.

AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS THE COURSE CREDIT.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT PEOPLE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING WITH REGARDS TO PROVIDING A STIPEND FOR THE STUDENT BOARD, REP AND OR REPRESENTATIVES AND ALSO TRYING TO DO SOME KIND OF COURSE CREDIT, WHICH I THINK WOULD DEFINITELY GO THROUGH YOUR TEAM AND MISS MOLINA TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO OFFER.

I THINK I WOULD BE LEANING MORE TOWARD COURSE CREDIT THAN MONETARY COMPENSATION.

AGREED. YEAH, I AGREE, ESPECIALLY IF OF COURSE CREDIT GOES ON A TRANSCRIPT AND COULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR APPLICATIONS AND OTHER THINGS.

THAT WOULD BE MY INCLINATION, BUT I WOULD BE OPEN TO RECEIVING SUGGESTIONS OF STAFF.

THANK YOU. VERY GOOD.

DO WE WANT TO BREAK MORE? OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. ITEM 5.5.

DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT UPDATES.

MY APOLOGIES, DOCTOR BATTLE.

SHOULD I JUST INTRODUCE HIM SO HE CAN.

DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT SALAMANCA.

[5.5 Deputy Superintendent Updates]

THANK YOU SIR. I TRUST THE BOARD HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW MY REPORT.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 5.5? TRUSTEES. REALLY QUICKLY, DID YOU THE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF ATTENDANCE DID YOU SAY THAT THE BUDGET IS BASED ON THE.

WE HAVE A HISTORICAL ADA PERCENTAGE OF 96%.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BUILT INTO OUR PROJECTIONS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I KNOW THAT PRINCIPAL KUHNS JUST SPOKE ABOUT ATTENDANCE AND DOING SOME KIND OF INCENTIVES, AND THERE COULD BE.

BUT IS THERE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT DOING A DISTRICT WIDE ATTENDANCE INCENTIVE PROGRAM SIMILAR TO WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT? I THINK WE'D HAVE TO LOOK INTO SOME MORE OF THE SPECIFICS ABOUT THE ATTENDANCE AND ATTENDANCE INCENTIVES THAT HE'S PROPOSING.

I KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE AS A AS AN AUDITOR THERE'S VERY LIMITED TYPES OF ATTENDANCE INCENTIVES YOU'RE ALLOWED TO PROVIDE.

AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT MAY WORK.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ITEM 5.6 SUPERINTENDENT UPDATES, SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER.

[5.6 Superintendent Updates]

DOCTOR BATTLE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE IT? I TRUST THE GOVERNING BOARD HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE LONG RANGE PLAN UPDATE AS REQUESTED BY THE BOARD?

[02:20:02]

I HAVE BEEN FOCUSING THESE REPORTS ON SAFETY INITIATIVES.

THIS MONTH IN PARTICULAR FOCUSES ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STAFF.

AND THE LAST SECTION IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS TO ENGAGE IN THE ROCKY HERON PRESENTATION.

THIS WILL REPRESENT OUR EIGHTH YEAR HOSTING MR. HERON HERE FROM SAN DIEGO COUNTY OFFICE OF ED., AS A RETIRED DEA AGENT, I AM AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CONTENTS OF MY REPORT.

IS THAT PRESENTATION GOING TO BE DURING CLASS HOURS? IT IS. YES.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 5.6? ANY MORE TRUSTEE COMMENTS QUESTIONS THE UPDATE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ITEM SIX THERE WERE NO ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSOLIDATED MOTION FOR CONSENT CALENDAR, SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN, PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON AGENDIZED ITEMS.

[7.2 Board Member Comments]

ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO A NON AGENDA ITEM OR A CLOSED SESSION ITEM ARE INVITED TO QUEUE BEHIND THE PODIUM AND STATE THEIR NAME AND CITY PRIOR TO SPEAKING.

EACH SPEAKER WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES AND MAY NOT YIELD THEIR TIME.

IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON AGENDIZED ITEMS? OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM 7.2.

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS.

TRUSTEE. CAVANAUGH WOULD YOU LIKE TO START THIS MONTH? SURE. I'LL GO. I'LL GO REALLY QUICKLY.

THIS MONTH I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE BUDGET STUDY COMMITTEE MEETING.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR PUTTING THIS ON.

I'D LIKE TO THANK WE HAD A ROBUST GROUP OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THERE THIS TIME.

SO I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THE NEWBIES THAT SHOWED UP AND ALL OF THE GREAT QUESTIONS AND AND INSIGHTS THAT THEY HAD.

SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE MORE PEOPLE THERE.

I ATTENDED THE SOUTH COUNTY LEGISLATIVE ACTION DISCUSSION THE OTHER NIGHT WITH SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER TALKING ABOUT WAYS TO ADVOCATE FOR THINGS IN OUR DISTRICT.

I THINK SPECIFICALLY THE ONES THAT GOT THE MOST HEAD NODS AND VOTES WERE TO SEEK FULLY FULL FUNDING FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION, FULL FUNDING OF THE COLA AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AND MONIES FOR THAT AT OUR SCHOOLS. I SAW THE COST OF DIGITAL ART PRESENTATION AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER THIS WEEK, AND IT WAS THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

AND THEN I HAVE OFFICE HOURS ON MARCH 27TH.

IF ANYONE WANTS TO POP BY AND CHAT, VISIT, WHATEVER.

THAT'S IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS MONTH I ATTENDED OUR KEEPING KIDS SAFE ONLINE COMMITTEE.

THERE WAS A GREAT DISCUSSION AROUND ONGOING ISSUES, NEPTUNE NAVIGATE, CYBER SECURITY, AI.

WE JUST IT WAS A REALLY ROBUST, THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSION.

HOW TO KEEP OUR KIDS INFORMED AND SAFE ABOUT ONLINE SAFETY.

SO I'M ALWAYS EAGER TO ATTEND THOSE AND AND LEARN MORE.

I ATTENDED THE OPENING OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS EXHIBIT.

IT WAS AWESOME AND GRAPHIC ARTS EXHIBIT.

AND I'VE BEEN DIVING DEEP INTO LEGISLATIVE POLICY ROLLING UP MY SLEEVES, WORKING ON WITH, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, LEGISLATIVE ACTION WEEK, OUR ASSEMBLY MEMBERS AND OUR STATE SENATORS.

REALLY EXCITED TO BE WORKING WITH ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHRIS WARD ON A BILL REGARDING ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILLS AND THE THE IMPORTANCE OF STANDARDIZING THOSE AND REDUCING TRAUMA ON CHILDREN.

I ATTENDED THE SILVER STRAND OPEN HOUSE AND FIESTA NIGHT FOR BAND AND CHOIR BOOSTERS, ALL OF WHICH WERE WONDERFUL.

BUT AS YOU KNOW, THE POLICY NERD IN ME IS JUST REALLY I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE THE UNPRECEDENTED BORROWING FROM PROP 98 FUNDS THAT'S BEING PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

I THINK THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS TERRITORY AND ADVOCATING A LOT AGAINST THAT.

AND ALSO ADVOCATING FOR A NEW OFFICE WITHIN CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS LIKE OURS, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE AND WE MAKE UP OVER 60% OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON AND ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SO THIS MONTH, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE OUR PRINCIPAL, BROOKE FARLAR, HOST ME AT THE CMS FOR MY SITE VISIT.

WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ENROLLMENT AND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THERE.

[02:25:01]

AND THEN ALSO SHE SHOWED ME SOME OF THE AREAS THAT HAD SOME FLOOD DAMAGE.

AND AMAZINGLY, LIKE I WALKED PAST AND DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT.

IT WAS SEAMLESS. AND THE REPAIRS HAVE ESSENTIALLY ALREADY BEEN DONE.

SO FORTUNATELY, THAT SCHOOL DID NOT HAVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF DAMAGE.

PROBABLY THE MOST INTERESTING OR AT LEAST EDUCATIONAL THING FOR ME WAS TALKING TO HER AND SOME OF THE STAFF ABOUT THE USE OF THE CHROMEBOOKS, OF COURSE.

WE AS A DISTRICT, PURCHASE CHROMEBOOKS FOR ALL THE STUDENTS.

AND WE SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUNDS ON THAT.

IT THE THE ADVANTAGE OF THE CHROMEBOOKS IS THAT FOR THE TESTING, THEY DO HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A LOCKOUT BROWSER FUNCTION.

SO WHEN YOU ARE AS A STUDENT, YOU'RE TAKING THE TEST.

YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T ACCESS THE INTERNET IN ANY OTHER WAY.

AND SO AND OF COURSE, THAT FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT PRESENT ON OTHER DEVICES TO INCLUDE PERSONAL DEVICES.

AND THEN ALSO AS THE NEW POLICY, OF COURSE, IS THAT THE CHROMEBOOKS HAVE TO BE ARE THE ONLY YOU CAN'T BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE TO SCHOOL YOUR OWN COMPUTER OR YOUR OWN LAPTOP, AND YOU HAVE TO USE THE CHROMEBOOKS.

AND THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS IS THAT THERE'S A PROGRAM THAT THE TEACHERS CAN USE CALLED HAPERA, AND THEY ARE ABLE TO ESSENTIALLY KEEP TRACK OF WHAT ALL THE WHAT ALL THE STUDENTS ARE DOING ON THEIR LAPTOPS IN THE IN THE CLASSROOM.

AND YOU CAN THEY THEY HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER THAT.

SO WHILE THEY'RE TEACHING, THEY THEY CAN MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE STUDENTS ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THEM.

AND THEN IF YOU WERE TO STOP AS A, AS AN INSTRUCTOR AND THEN YOU WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE CLASS AND GET EVERYONE'S ATTENTION, YOU CAN ACTUALLY YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO FREEZE EVERYONE'S FUNCTION WITHIN THE, IN THE CLASS AND GET THEIR ATTENTION.

AND SO YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE NOT HAVING THAT AND HOPING THAT A CLASS OF 25 OR 30 STUDENTS WOULD ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION TO YOU.

SO I THOUGHT IT WAS THAT THAT WAS THAT WAS VERY EDUCATIONAL FOR ME.

I KNOW THAT THAT IT'S SOMEWHAT CONTROVERSIAL AMONG THE STUDENTS.

AND I THINK THAT THIS POLICY IS GOING TO BE BROUGHT OR IS POTENTIALLY BROUGHT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL NEXT YEAR.

BUT AT LEAST AMONG THE CMS TEACHERS, IT'S IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS DESCRIBED AS A, AS A GAME CHANGER.

SO IN TERMS OF INCORPORATING ELECTRONICS IN THE CLASSROOM.

SO THAT WAS MY SITE VISIT.

SO THANK YOU. OKAY, SO THIS MONTH MY SITE VISIT WAS WITH PRINCIPAL PETE AND I WISH HE WAS STILL HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SAME TIE ON.

WE'RE COORDINATING OUR OUTFITS NOW.

AND HE DID COMMENT THAT HE WANTED TO BE THE BEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

SO I WAS LOOKING AT JENNY MOORE OVER THERE, WHO IS CURRENTLY THE BEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SAN DIEGO.

SO ANYWAY LET'S SEE, IT WAS A GREAT VISIT.

ALL THE CLASSROOMS ARE REPAIRED.

KINDERGARTEN WAS DOUBLED UP FOR TWO AND A HALF WEEKS, HE SAID, BUT BUT NOW THEY'RE BACK IN THEIR OWN CLASSROOMS. YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE ON PRINCIPAL PETE'S WALLS WHERE THEY WERE REPAIRED.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE PAINTED THIS SUMMER.

BUT ALL THE DAMAGE WAS QUICKLY REPAIRED.

SO FANTASTIC JOB TO DEPUTY SALAMANCA AND HIS CREW.

THE LIBRARY AND INNOVATION CENTER WERE RECENTLY BROUGHT BACK ONLINE DUE TO DUE TO ALL THE FLOODING.

SO THEY'RE THEY'RE GOOD TO GO.

SO IT'S THE SECOND TIME I'VE MET WITH PRINCIPAL PETE, AND YOU DON'T GET TO KNOW SOMEBODY VERY WELL THAT WAY, BUT HE WAS IN PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE, SO I WORKED WITH HIM A LOT THERE. WE GOT PAIRED UP TO DO TO DO LITTLE PROJECTS TOGETHER.

SO THAT WAS FANTASTIC. HE'S HE'S AN AMAZING PERSON.

EVEN THOUGH HE'S 12 YEARS OLD.

BUT SO THE PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE, IT WAS A, IT WAS THE THIRD ONE, THE THIRD WEEKEND VERSION, IF YOU DON'T COUNT THE LIBRARY ONE, WHICH.

SO THERE WERE TECHNICALLY FOUR.

AND ALL THE STAFF WERE THERE PRINCIPALS? EVERY PRINCIPAL WAS THERE.

MANY TEACHERS, MANY STUDENTS AND MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT.

I FINISHED THE MASTERS AND GOVERNANCE CLASS, THE FINAL ONE TODAY.

SO I HAVE MY. YEAH, I HAVE MY LITTLE I'M OFFICIAL.

I HAVE MY LITTLE PIN.

YOU GET A PIN.

SO IF YOU WANT TO COME ADMIRE THAT IT'S FUN TO GET TO TALK TO OTHER DISTRICTS AND PEOPLE FROM OTHER DISTRICTS.

AND THERE WAS ONE, WE'RE A SMALL DISTRICT, WE'RE 3000.

WELL, THE HAPPY VALLEY DISTRICT, THE K THROUGH EIGHT DISTRICT UP IN SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS HAS 125 KIDS.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS THAT WAS PRETTY AMAZING.

SO IF YOU THINK WE'RE SMALL, WE'RE NOT THE SMALLEST.

THE LAST THING I HAD WAS KEEPING STUDENTS SAFE ONLINE.

[02:30:01]

I ATTENDED WITH TRUSTEE ANTRIM.

AND WE ARE NOW TEACHING THE NEPTUNE NAVIGATE SYLLABUS FOR K THROUGH 12 THAT MISS FOLEY AND MR. SCHMEICHEL HAVE IMPLEMENTED AND THEY'VE GONE THROUGH ALL THOSE LECTURES.

IT GETS UPDATED EVERY YEAR.

THAT'S PART OF THE NEPTUNE NAVIGATE.

I'M PRETTY LOW TECH PERSON, SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE I'VE CONTRIBUTED ENOUGH.

SO I STARTED TAKING THIS LISTENING TO IT'S CALLED THE GREAT COURSES, AND IT'S HOW DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY SHAPES OUR LIVES AS A 20 PART LECTURE SERIES ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH IT. SO I HOPE TO BE UP TO SPEED MORE BECAUSE I KNOW MY NINTH GRADER IS JUST YEARS, LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF ME ON THIS STUFF.

SO I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE MORE WHEN I WHEN I DO THOSE MEETINGS.

SO THANK YOU.

FOR EASE.

I DID A POWERPOINT SLIDE FOR MY PRESENTATION.

THIS IS EVERYTHING I DID THIS LAST MONTH.

THIS IS ME AT FUTURE ISLANDER NIGHT.

I ALMOST WENT WITH THE PHOTO OF ME DRESSED AS BELLE.

I HAD TWO ELEMENTARY TEACHERS TAKE ME UP ON COMING INTO THEIR CLASSROOMS. SO I GOT TO READ FOR MISS ROBERTS FIRST GRADE CLASS, AND SHE KIND OF CHALLENGED/DARED ME TO SHOW UP IN COSTUME.

SO FULL ON BELLE COSTUME HAPPENED.

FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK FOR THAT PHOTO.

AND THEN I WENT TO MISS CUMMINS SECOND GRADE CLASS FOR READING GROUPS, AND SO HELPED KIND OF KEEP THE KIDS ON TASK AND QUIET WHILE SHE DID SMALL READING GROUPS. SO THAT WAS A LOT OF MOVEMENT MOVING AROUND.

SO A LOT OF GREAT THINGS GOING ON.

AND GIVEN OUR DISCUSSION AND REPORT TONIGHT ON IDTS AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS HIGHLIGHTING COSA, AND I KNOW THAT MR. REEBY MENTIONED WE HAD A COUPLE OF COSA STUDENTS DO REALLY WELL THERE IN NEW YORK RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE THEY'RE RECEIVING PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS.

AND WE HAVE THE THE CURRENT PHOTOGRAPHIC ART SHOW THAT OPENED ON THURSDAY SAW TRUSTEE ANTRIM THERE.

IT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW STILL.

AND THAT'S IN COORDINATION WITH THE CITY OF CORONADO CULTURAL ARTS COMMITTEE.

SO OUR STUDENTS ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY OF CORONADO AND REALLY GETTING MORE EXPOSURE AND GETTING OUT THERE WITH WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

AND I APPRECIATE THE CITY AND THE CULTURAL ARTS COMMITTEE FOR WORKING WITH US ON THAT.

AND OF COURSE, MISS WARMAN FOR DOING THAT.

AND SO I THINK THAT PROGRAM IS REALLY GROWING AND WE HAVE A LOT TO PROMOTE AND BE BE PROUD ABOUT WITH THAT.

I'M EXCITED FOR OUR SPECIAL MEETING COMING UP IN.

I THINK WE HAVE TWO WEEKS. WE'LL BE BACK HERE TO LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE COLLABORATE WITH WHO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO THAT'S COMING UP.

IF YOU WANT TO COME AND OBSERVE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR BUDGET RIGHT NOW, AND THAT'S A HUGE PIECE GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

AND SO LOOKING AT ALL THE DIFFERENT FUNDING STREAMS THAT ARE COMING IN FROM OUTSIDE PRIVATE OR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND WHAT OUR PARENTS ARE DOING TO SUPPORT OUR DISTRICT. I WENT TO THREE PTO MEETINGS.

SORRY, SILVER STRAND, I GOT TO GET ON YOUR TEXT LIST OR SOMETHING.

SO I CAN GET OVER THERE.

BUT MY MEETING THIS MORNING.

GOD, I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS.

I MEAN, HIGH SCHOOL HAD DINKY DONUTS, AND I ROLLED IN FOR A DONUT AND ROLLED RIGHT OUT TO MISS CUMMINS SECOND GRADE.

AND I NEEDED THAT SUGAR HIGH FOR THAT.

BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF PARENTS WORKING.

THE JOGATHON HAS ALREADY BROUGHT IN, I THINK 20 OR $30,000 SO FAR.

AND IT'S STILL GOING.

AND I KNOW OTHER CTOS ARE DOING A LOT.

SO FOCUSED ON THAT AND THEN JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING TO DC WITH TRUSTEE.

ANTRIM. I'M EXCITED FOR THIS.

IT'S GOING TO BE MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY ADVOCATE AND LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO AS TRUSTEES TO ADVOCATE FOR OUR DISTRICT, FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR ON THE HORIZON.

AND SO, YEAH.

AND IF YOU SEE ME OUT AND ABOUT, PLEASE REACH OUT, TALK TO ME.

I'M STILL AVAILABLE TO READ WITH OR WITHOUT A COSTUME.

IF ANY TEACHER WANTS ME TO COME IN OR HELP OUT IN ANY OTHER CLASS DOING ROBOTICS OR WHATNOT.

SO THANK YOU.

SUPERINTENDENT'S COMMENTS.

[7.3 Superintendent's Comments]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU TAMMY.

THANK YOU TRUSTEES.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT PALACIOS-PETERS.

DITTO. I ATTENDED MANY OF THE EVENTS AT WITHIN ATTEMPT TO NOT REPEAT A FEW THAT WEREN'T MENTIONED THAT I WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME BY MYSELF, SOME WITH TRUSTEES.

WE HAD OUR TWO BY TWO MEETING WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND TWO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT OF OUR OF OUR PARTNERS AT THE CITY OF CORONADO AND CORONADO POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SOME OF THE OTHER EVENTS I KNOW.

[02:35:01]

TRUSTEE SANDIE MENTIONED THE PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE, BUT HATS OFF TO THE TEAM AND THE DEPARTMENT THAT'S REALLY RUNNING LEAD ON THAT WITH THE COUNTY OFFICE OF ED.

SO THANK YOU, DOCTOR BATTLE.

I WANTED TO FOCUS ON TWO THINGS TO CLOSE.

NUMBER ONE, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SOME DIFFICULT DISCUSSIONS THIS EVENING AS IT RELATED TO THE BUDGET AND JUST THE COMPLEXITIES AROUND PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION AND BUDGETING AND HOW DIFFICULT IT CAN BE WHEN WE ARE ASKED TO MAKE BUDGET DECISIONS EARLY IN THE SPRING WITHOUT HAVING THE INFORMATION READILY AVAILABLE.

WE CANNOT OVERSTATE THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL PROGRAMS AND ALL ADULTS AND THEIR IMPACT AND THEIR ROLE THAT THEY HAVE WITH.

THE CHILDREN IN OUR DISTRICT.

IF WE WEREN'T IN THIS POSITION, WE'D BE CELEBRATING THAT WE'RE BUILDING AND THAT WE'RE GROWING AND THAT WE'RE EXPANDING.

I THINK SOME SOME NEWS RECENTLY AND WAS REMINDED OF, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING AREAS TO TIGHTEN OUR BELT.

YOU KNOW, IN THE NATIONAL NEWS, WE READ A LOT ABOUT NEXT BENEDICT AND THE NEED FOR US TO BE VIGILANT IN OUR SUPPORT OF THE WHOLE CHILD WHILE THEY ARE IN OUR CARE.

SOME OF THE CONFERENCES THAT I LISTED IN THE SAFETY REPORT REFLECT THAT COMMITMENT.

AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO PROVIDE RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS.

ABOVE AND BEYOND THE THRESHOLD SET BY SET BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS IT RELATES TO COUNSELOR AND STUDENT RATIOS.

THE LAST ONE IS APPRECIATION AND AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

ONE OF THE ITEMS OF INTEREST THAT I DISCUSSED IN THE STATE OF THE DISTRICT WAS REALLY REACHING OUT TO MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO MAY HAVE FELT THAT THEY WEREN'T PROVIDED WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIALOG.

AND I'VE HAD SOME REALLY IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS WITH MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY, BOTH STAFF AND STUDENTS.

AND FEEL THAT THOSE DISCUSSIONS ARE CONSTRUCTIVE AND AM ENCOURAGED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF OF SOME OF THOSE INITIATIVES, WHETHER IT'S INDIVIDUAL PARENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY, OR THE SUPERINTENDENT STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCILS WITH BOTH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S IT'S REALLY BEEN.

SOMETHING THAT HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A NEW APPRECIATION FOR THE THE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES THAT WE HAVE HERE WITHIN OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY, AND THAT IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE NOT LEAVING ANYONE FEELING ALIENATED.

SO I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE ALLOWED ME TO CRASH THEIR MEETINGS OR MET WITH ME FOR AN EARLY COFFEE, AND MY COMMITMENT IS TO CONTINUE THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH WITH THE GOAL OF STRENGTHENING THIS AMAZING DISTRICT THAT I'M SO FORTUNATE TO BE A PART OF.

THOSE CONCLUDE MY COMMENTS.

THANK YOU.

MOVING ON TO ITEM 8.1 PROPOSED LIST OF AGENDA ITEMS FOR FUTURE BOARD MEETINGS.

[8.1 Proposed List of Agenda Items for Future Board Meetings]

DO WE HAVE DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? TRUSTEES. SO I JUST WANT TO THROW THIS OUT HERE FOR CONSIDERATION.

I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ANYONE ABOUT THIS YET.

BUT HAVING SEEN ALL OF THE SCHOOL REPORTS THIS YEAR AND I LOVE THE VARIETY OF THEM.

I LOVE THE PERSONAL TOUCH TO EACH ONE OF THEM.

BUT WAS WONDERING IF THERE COULD BE SOME KIND OF STANDARDIZATION OR SOMETHING AMONG THE REPORTS, MAYBE INFORMATION THAT'S ALIGNED WITH OUR DISTRICT GOALS OR, YOU KNOW, PART OF IT THAT IS, THAT IS STANDARDIZED AND THEN, YOU KNOW, A FEW FLAIR PAGES AT THE END, SOMETHING THAT THAT'S A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT.

JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE FOR FROM THE SCHOOLS, FROM THE FOUR SCHOOLS MAKING THOSE REPORTS.

I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ON.

BECAUSE I KNOW EACH SCHOOL IS SO DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF I, SO WE HAVE IN THE PAST HAD A FORMAT OR A TEMPLATE THAT OUR PRINCIPALS HAVE USED, AND SLOWLY IT'S KIND OF EVOLVED INTO THEIR OWN PERSONALITIES.

WE DO ASK FOR VERY SPECIFIC THINGS.

HOW YOUR SITE PLAN ALIGNS WITH OUR LCAP CURRENT DEMOGRAPHICS.

I LOOK AT ASSESSMENT DATA, A LOOK AT CURRENT INITIATIVES AND WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON.

ALL FOUR OF OUR PRINCIPALS BRING THEIR PASSION TO EACH INDIVIDUAL SITE, AND THOSE ARE REFLECTED IN THOSE REPORTS.

SO I CAN SHARE WITH THE GOVERNING BOARD WHAT KIND OF THAT OUTLINE IS THAT WE ASK FOR?

[02:40:07]

SO A LIMIT, A LIMITED STANDARDIZATION WITH THE ABILITY FOR US TO STILL TAP INTO THE INDIVIDUAL PASSIONS OF EACH SITE BECAUSE WE HAVE FOUR UNIQUE CULTURES AND COMMUNITIES WITHIN CUSD, AND I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO LIKE RAIN ON ANYONE'S PARADE OR ANYTHING.

I WAS JUST I WAS JUST THINKING FOR MY OWN EASE OF TRYING TO LOOK AT THE INFORMATION AND SOME KIND OF CONSISTENCY.

BUT IF SO, A RECOMMENDATION, I CAN WORK WITH MY PRINCIPALS AND, I DON'T KNOW, FEEDBACK AS WE LOOK TOWARDS, YOU KNOW, IN THE FALL, STARTING TO BUILD THESE TO MAYBE HAVE AT LEAST SOME ALIGNMENT WITH THE ORDER OF THOSE FOUR KIND OF NON-NEGOTIABLES.

OH, I THINK SO.

OKAY. IS THAT.

DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU? YEAH.

YEAH. AND THEN FLARE AT THE END.

AND FLAIR.

HEARD IT, THANK YOU.

MR. REVIE. I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE THAT AT A FUTURE MEETING, WE DISCUSS THE THE UPCOMING BAN ON THE PERSONAL COMPUTERS USE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

I KNOW THAT THE STUDENT BODY THAT I REPRESENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT NOT TOO THRILLED WITH THE PROPOSAL.

AND SO I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS MORE OF, MAYBE ALTERNATIVE METHODS TO THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE TRYING TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THAT INITIATIVE. AND I HAVE SOME, SOME THOUGHTS WITH ME RIGHT NOW, BUT I KNOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT AGENDIZED RIGHT NOW.

WE CAN DISCUSS THAT AT A LATER MEETING.

FOR THAT REQUEST.

SO IT'D BE LIKE A LEARNING REPORT OR HOW WOULD THAT LOOK? SORRY WILL BE A REPORT AND WE WILL KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THE WHY AND SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, BUT ALSO PROVIDE MR. REVIE AN OUTLET TO REPRESENT HIS PEERS.

THANK YOU. STAFF WILL TARGET THAT EITHER AT THE APRIL OR THE MAY BOARD MEETING.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. 8.2 OUR LIST OF UPCOMING MEETINGS.

[8.2 Upcoming Meetings]

SPECIAL BOARD MEETING MARCH 26TH TO HIGHLIGHT.

AND WITH THAT, WE GO TO CLOSED SESSION.

[9. CLOSED SESSION]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
