OKAY, THE TIME IS NOW,

[1. CALL TO ORDER]

[2.2 Approval of the Agenda: Any changes to the agenda must be made at this time]

ANY CHANGES TO THE AGENDA MUST BE MADE AT THIS TIME. MADAM PRESIDENT, STAFF ARE REQUESTING CONSIDERATION TO PULL AGENDA ITEM 7.5 FOR OUR MARCH BOARD MEETING. IN ADDITION, STAFF IS REQUESTING...

WITHIN OUR PURCHASE ORDERS TO PULL PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER 000-022050 FOR FURTHER STAFF INQUIRY ON THAT PURCHASE ORDER. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER CHANGES? DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE AGENDA AS AMENDED? SO MOVED. THANK YOU. CALL FOR THE VOTE. DO OUR THUMBS UP.

WE'RE ALL GOOD. WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME STUDENTS HERE THAT WERE PREPARING TO ADDRESS AND SPEAK TO ITEM 7.5, AND I KNOW THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE PULLED FOR TONIGHT.

I KNOW THEY HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO, SO I'M GOING TO GIVE THE TIME FOR STUDENTS TO SPEAK. ON THAT ITEM, RIGHT AFTER OUR COSA SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATION. SO IF STUDENTS WHO WERE HERE THAT WANTED TO ADDRESS THE CELL PHONE POLICY, IF YOU'LL HANG OUT FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES AND WE WILL GET THEM. MAY I, MADAM PRESIDENT? THE RATIONALE BEHIND STAFF'S REQUEST TO PULL 7.5 IS AN UNDERSTANDING THAT TWO OF OUR TRUSTEES ARE ABSENT THIS EVENING AND WANT TO... FULLY PARTICIPATE AND ENGAGE IN DISCUSSION WITH OTHER TRUSTEES ON THIS IMPORTANT AGENDA ITEM.

THAT WAS THE NATURE OF THE REQUEST. PERFECT. THANK YOU. YES, I THINK ANY KIND OF CHANGE LIKE THIS WE WOULD NOT WANT TO MAKE WITHOUT EVERYONE HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE UP HERE AS WELL.

THANK YOU. OKAY, MOVING

[2.4 Spotlight Presentation: Eric Camberos, Stop the Sewage Ambassador]

WITH THESE, HE IS A STOP, THE SEWAGE AMBASSADOR, AND I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MR. COOLEY TO MAKE THIS PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT KAVANAUGH. CAN I PLEASE INVITE UP ERIC CAMBEROS AND MEMBERS OF THE STOP THE SEWAGE CLUB UP TO THE STAND, PLEASE? EVEN THOUGH IT IS, HIS EFFORTS AND DEDICATION IS TO MAKING THE CORONADO WATERS A SAFER PLACE. SO IF I COULD PASS IT ALONG TO YOU TO TALK ABOUT YOUR STORY, PERHAPS.

HI, EVERYONE. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR JUST GIVING ME THE PLATFORM AND THE TIME TO SPEAK. AS YOU MAY KNOW, I DO NOT ATTEND CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL. I LIVE IN THE SOUTH BAY OF SAN DIEGO, AND PERSONALLY, I HAVE BEEN VERY STRONGLY IMPACTED BY THE RIVER. IT'S IMPACTED THE HEALTH OF MY FAMILY. MY GRANDMA, SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK, AND SINCE MOVING AWAY

[00:05:01]

IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN, AND I'M HAPPY TO HAVE MADE CONNECTIONS WITH EVERYONE FROM CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL. THANK YOU. YEAH.

SO, IF I MAY, HERE IS AN AWARD FOR DISTINGUISHED ADVOCACY AND COLLABORATION. YEAH. THANK YOU.

YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS LAURA WILKINSON-SINTON FROM STOPTHESEWAGE.ORG. I'M THE MENTOR OF THE CLUB AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE, SUPERINTENDENT AND TRUSTEES.

YOUR JOB IS A DIFFICULT ONE AND WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

THE SUPPORT THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN THESE STUDENTS HAS GROWN THEIR LEADERSHIP, NOT JUST IN CORONADO, BUT OBVIOUSLY THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH BAY. AND THEY CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF YOU AND THE TEACHERS AND THE COMMUNITY HERE. THE FACT THAT YOU TOOK THE COURAGE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT LAWSUIT. SHOWED THAT YOU CARED ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE CHILDREN HERE IN CORONADO AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE, AND THE FACT THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS CLUB IN WORD AND IN DEED IS SO APPRECIATED, AND YOU ARE CREATING TRUE LEADERS.

THEY COMMANDED THE ROOMS IN SACRAMENTO. IT WAS SOMETHING TO SEE, AND I HOPE ANY OF YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME ON OUR NEXT ONE COMING UP IN APRIL. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE PALACIOS-PETERS CAN CERTAINLY ATTEST TO HOW AMAZING. DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE, BY THE WAY? YES, ERIC, I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT I DID TALK TO TRUSTEE PALACIOS-PETERS, AND SHE WAS RAVING ABOUT THE WAY THAT YOU HANDLED YOURSELF AND CONDUCTED YOURSELF, AND JUMPED RIGHT IN WITH A BIG GROUP OF PEOPLE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU KNEW ANY OF THE OTHER STUDENTS BEFORE THAT TIME, BUT SHE SAID YOU WERE REMARKABLE. AND I THINK THIS GOES TO SHOW WHAT WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO DO IS TO COLLABORATE.

ACROSS COMMUNITIES FOR ISSUES THAT THEY FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. ITEM 2.5

[2.5 Spotlight Presentation: CoSA 30th Anniversary]

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT. I'M VERY EXCITED TO INTRODUCE OUR TOUR GROUP AND HEISM WILL BE JOINING THEM. BUT FIRST, I WANT TO INTRODUCE, IF YOU WANT TO LET THEM IN, DAVID MCBEAN, WHO IS THE MUSIC DIRECTOR FOR COSA. WE'RE EXCITED TO BE PERFORMING FOR YOU THIS EVENING WITH THE TOUR GROUP BECAUSE WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR 30TH YEAR OF COSA FOLLOWING THEIR OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE. I'M EXCITED TO WELCOME CHRISTINE FROM THE CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, AS WELL AS THE COSA. PRESIDENT OF THE FOUNDATION, LINDA EDISON, WHO WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE UPCOMING GALA. THAT WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE OUR 30TH YEAR.

SO, I WILL TURN IT OVER NOW TO DAVID AND OUR WONDERFUL COSA STUDENTS. ENJOY. OH, HI.

I'M DAVID MCBEAN. I'M THE MUSIC DIRECTOR. YOU THANK YOU SO

[00:12:44]

AND AS WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY, WE ARE PLANNING ON OUR GALA, WHICH WILL BE HELD IN THE FALL. ON THE 14TH OF MARCH AT VENUE 808 DOWNTOWN.

IT IS GOING TO BE A MAGICAL CELEBRATION.

IT'S GOING TO BE A SIT-DOWN DINNER, BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE SOME GREAT TALENTED STUDENT ENTERTAINMENT THERE. FROM ALL CONSERVATORIES WILL PARTICIPATE. AND WE'RE BASICALLY GOING TO BE HONORING THE PAST AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT 30 YEARS OF COSA.

IT'S A PLACE THAT IS VERY SPECIAL FOR THE STUDENTS AND THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE JOINED INTO THIS, YOU KNOW, INCREDIBLE ORGANIZATION, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CONTINUE ON FOR MANY, MANY MORE YEARS. SO IF YOU CAN JOIN US, WE WOULD LOVE

[00:15:01]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M SURE THAT WHEN CHRIS MCCLUNG WAS WORKING TO START COSA, IT'S A LOT OF FUN. BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS TO GET THINGS GOING, AND I'M SURE THAT SHE WOULD BE VERY PROUD TO KNOW THAT. IT'S GOING STRONG, AND PEOPLE ARE STILL ADVOCATING ON BEHALF OF STUDENTS AND TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS. THANK YOU.

OKAY, LET'S SEE, I HAVE AN ARROW HERE THAT SOMEONE WAS, OH, YES, OKAY. ALL OF MY AGENDAS ALL DISCOMBOBULATED

[7.5 Superintendent Updates (5 min. + Board Discussion) Portrait of a Graduate Cell Phone / Smart Device Policy]

SO I'VE BEEN GIVING A LOT OF THOUGHT TO THE NUANCES OF THE ISSUE OF THIS CHANGING CELL PHONE POLICY. OUR PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE OUTLINES HOW TO BE A RESPONSIBLE USER OF TECHNOLOGY. IT OUTLINES SKILLS IN COMMUNICATION, GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP, AND HOW TO BE A RESPONSIBLE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE TECH USER. THE PORTRAIT OF A SYSTEM AND ADULT INCLUDES EDUCATION AND INNOVATION. THESE PORTRAIT GOALS TIE DIRECTLY TO HOW WE DECIDE, AS A SCHOOL BOARD AND COMMUNITY, TO IMPROVE AND ADAPT. THE CELL PHONE POLICY. THANK YOU, TRUSTEES, FOR GIVING US YOUR TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME. MY NAME IS XAVIER MARSH. I'M A JUNIOR FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY DEFINITION OF RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE. MY DEFINITION OF RESPONSIBILITY IS BEING GIVEN OPTIONS IN LIFE AND LEARNING TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT DECISION. I THINK ALL OF US IN THIS ROOM HOPE AND EXPECT THAT. OUR SENIORS GRADUATE WITH, AS SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT, RESPONSIBILITY, AND THEY GRADUATE WITH CRITICAL THINKING AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE THAT RIGHT DECISION.

NOW, THE WORST THING THAT ALL OF US CAN IMAGINE IS OUR STUDENTS GRADUATING AND GOING TO COLLEGE OR JOINING THE WORKFORCE AND LEARNING THERE, WHERE THE CONSEQUENCES ARE A LOT WORSE. NOW, I ASK THAT WE DO NOT TAKE AWAY PHONES FROM THE CAMPUS ONLY BECAUSE IF WE DON'T LEARN NOW, WHEN WILL WE? IF NOT NOW, WHEN? I THINK IS THE KEY POINT THAT HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY MIND THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

AND SO IF WE DON'T LEARN, WHEN WILL WE? SO ALL I ASK IS THAT WE RAISE THE BAR. WE CHANGE THE CULTURE AND WE DON'T LOWER THE STANDARDS, WE RAISE THEM SO THAT EVERYONE GROWS AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AFTERNOON ALL. I'M GOING TO WRAP UP OUR KIND OF BRIEF PRESENTATION HERE, TALKING ABOUT THE CELL PHONE POLICY, MAINLY HIGHLIGHTING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CRISES THAT WE'RE SEEING AT OUR SCHOOLS. WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE 13 YEARS OF DIFFERENT MATURITY LEVELS IN OUR SCHOOLS, 13 YEARS OF DIFFERENT LIFE EXPERIENCES IN OUR SCHOOLS, WHETHER THAT'S POPPING INTO TK, LEARNING THE LEADER IN ME, I'M IN CHARGE OF ME, OR GOING ALL THE WAY UP TO LEARNING. THE EIGHT KEYS OF EXCELLENCE UNDER CMS WITH MS. MOLINA, AND NOW, WITH ISLANDER PRIDE, TALKING ABOUT THE FIVE KIND OF CORE PINNACLE VALUES.

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE REALLY HAVE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT CELL PHONE POLICY CHANGES ARE GOING TO BE KIND OF TARGETING.

BETWEEN OUR HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, AND OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL. NOW, I'M NOT GOING TO TALK MUCH ABOUT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL, BUT WHAT? MY MAIN FOCUS IS ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE HIGH SCHOOL. AND HOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS AND THEY'RE GOING TO REQUIRE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS.

RIGHT NOW, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE HAVE A SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL CRISIS AT HAND. IT'S NOT AN ACADEMIC PROBLEM. IT'S NOT A DURING-CLASS PROBLEM. IT IS AN AT-BREAK, STUDENTS-HAVING-HEAD-DOWN CONVERSATIONS. IF YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO JOIN US FOR THAT YONDER BRIEFING, THOSE HEAD-DOWN TIMES, WE'RE TRYING TO BRING THOSE HEAD-UP CONVERSATIONS. IT'S A SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL THING AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, IT'S MAINLY AN ACADEMIC INTEGRITY ISSUE.

WHERE STUDENTS ARE EASILY ABLE TO PULL THEIR PHONE OUT OF THE PHONE POCKETS THAT ARE ON THE DOORWAYS AND ACCESS THEIR PHONES DURING ASSESSMENTS, QUIZZES, TESTS, ETC. SO WE'RE TRYING TO KIND OF HAVE A STAGED PROGRESSION TO HOW WE'RE DOING THIS. WE KNOW THAT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, YOU'RE WITH THE SAME TEACHER EVERY DAY. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH, I'D MISS KAVANAUGH EVERY DAY OF FIFTH GRADE. IT WAS GREAT. I GO TO MIDDLE SCHOOL, THEN WE'RE MOVING BETWEEN CLASSES. THEN WE GO TO HIGH SCHOOL, AND NOT ONLY ARE WE MOVING CLASSES, WE'RE PICKING THEM TOO. WE KNOW THAT AT LUNCH, THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT STAGES

[00:20:02]

AGAIN, TALKING ABOUT PORTRAIT OF A SYSTEM, PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE, LET'S RAISE THE BAR.

IN CLUBS, CLASSES, TEAMS, I'VE CONSISTENTLY SEEN THAT WHEN WE RAISE THE STANDARD, YOU RAISE HOW IT'S EXECUTED.

SO IF WE HAVE A LOW STANDARD FOR STUDENTS, WE ASSUME THE WORST OF OUR STUDENTS, THEY'RE GOING TO BE PERFORMING AT THAT LEVEL.

BUT WHEN WE ASSUME THE BEST OF OUR CLASSMATES, OF OUR TEAMMATES, AND OF OUR STUDENTS, THEY'RE GOING TO PERFORM AT THEIR BEST, IN THIS CASE, TALKING ABOUT THE CELL PHONE POLICY.

REALLY, AT THE END HERE, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE, OR PROBABLY REINTRODUCE THE LOCKBOX TO YOU ALL. THIS IS MY PITCH FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL SOLUTION.

TO THE CELL PHONE POLICY. WE DON'T NEED YONDER POUCHES. WE WANT THIS AMAZING LOCKBOX THAT I GOT FROM ONE OF OUR CLASSES TODAY. THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME. WE'LL BE BACK NEXT MEETING. THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH, STUDENTS. I APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU TOOK TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS AND TO SO ARTICULATELY PRESENT THEM HERE TO US. THIS WILL BE. AN ONGOING CONVERSATION NEXT MONTH, AND WE HAVE THE REST OF OUR TRUSTEES HERE, SO THANK YOU. ITEM THREE IS

[3.1 Revisions to Board Policies and Administrative Regulations on Immigration Enforcement]

YOU'LL SEE THAT. ITEM 3.1, REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS ON IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT WAS PULLED OUT SEPARATE THAN THE REST OF OUR FORCE FIRST READ FOR BOARD POLICIES. THE REASON IS THERE IS A DATE THAT WE NEED TO APPROVE THIS POLICY BY. WE WEREN'T GIVEN THE INFORMATION FROM SACRAMENTO UNTIL AFTER OUR JANUARY MEETING.

OTHERWISE, WE WOULD HAVE A FIRST READING FOR THIS AND THEN VOTE ON IT FOR THE NEXT MONTH.

BUT I DID WANT TO PULL IT OUT AND MAKE THAT EXPLANATION.

SO WHEN WE HAVE UNDER OUR ACTION ITEMS, WE WILL BE TAKING ACTION ON ITEM 3.1. WE WILL NOT BE TAKING ACTION ITEM. TAKING ACTION ON ITEM 3.2 UNTIL NEXT MONTH. SO WE'LL GIVE A FULL MONTH FOR THE REVISIONS THERE.

MADAM PRESIDENT, AND THAT'S 3.1 IS STATE LAW. STATE LAW.

THAT MANDATES ACTION BY MARCH 1ST. RIGHT, CORRECT. OKAY, SO THAT'S WHY. RIGHT, THIS IS, YES. YEAH. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS MANDATED BY THE STATE THAT WE MUST PASS.

THANK YOU. DO I HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 3.1 OR ITEM 3.2? OKAY, SEEING NONE,

[4. CONSOLIDATED MOTION FOR CONSENT CALENDAR (5 min.)]

DO I HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE. WE ACCEPT THE CONSENT CALENDAR.

THANK YOU. AND CALL FOR THE VOTE. OKAY. STILL DOING MY THUMBS UP. THANK YOU.

[6.3 Approve Revisions to Board Policies and Administrative Regulations on Immigration Enforcement]

ITEM 6.3. APPROVE REVISIONS TO BOARD POLICIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS ON IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

AND THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE HAD AS A FIRST READING JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, AND NOW WE'RE TAKING ACTION ON IT. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEM 6.3? ANY BOARD COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? DO I HAVE A MOTION? MOVE WE APPROVE THE BOARD POLICY AS PRESENTED. I'LL SECOND THAT AND THEN WE'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE. OKAY, MOVING

[6.4 Approve Board Policy 6146.1 High School Graduation RequirementsApproval]

[00:30:03]

THAT, AS STATED, THIS, WAS AVAILABLE AS A FIRST READ LAST MONTH. WE NEED TO TAKE FORMAL ACTION ON THIS AS OUR EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF COURSE SELECTION. STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 6.4.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 6.4? ANY BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? OKAY, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE ITEM 6.4. AND THEN CALL FOR THE VOTE. GOOD. PERFECT.

OKAY, BEFORE WE GET INTO OUR REPORTS, I'M GOING TO REQUEST. WE TAKE JUST LIKE A FIVE MINUTE QUICK COMFORT BREAK, AND THEN WE'LL COME RIGHT BACK.

DO WE NEED TO? DO I NEED TO? I THINK WE JUST HEARD THAT THE LIVE STREAM HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED, SO I THINK THEY'RE WORKING ON, MAYBE TRYING TO GET THAT BACK, BUT IT IS BEING RECORDED, SO IT'LL BE ABLE TO BE VIEWED IN ITS ENTIRETY LATER. OKAY,

[7.1 ACT Report: President Jennifer Landry (5 min.)]

SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS, COUNSELORS, AND NURSES. THE PURPOSE OF THESE PRESENTATIONS EACH MONTH IS TO HELP EVERYONE GET TO KNOW OUR MEMBERS A BIT BETTER.

PERHAPS SOMETHING THAT YOU LEARN WILL HELP TO BE A CONVERSATION STARTER AS YOU VISIT OUR WORKPLACES.

INFORMATION IN THESE REPORTS, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE VERBIAGE USED IN THESE REPORTS, COMES DIRECTLY FROM MEMBERS.

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT PETS CAN REDUCE ANXIETY IN HUMANS AND OTHER ANIMALS.

WHILE SOME OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE PETS IN THEIR HOMES, WE HAVE SOME MEMBERS THAT HAVE PETS IN THEIR SECOND HOME, THEIR WORKSPACE. I WAS SENT PICTURES AND INFORMATION ABOUT SOME FURRY PETS AND SOME NOT-SO-FURRY PETS. WE HOPE THAT YOU'LL STOP BY AND SAY HI TO OUR WORKSPACE PETS. LAST MONTH, I SHOWCASED LISA RYAN FROM CMS AND HER OUTDOOR ADVENTURES. THIS MONTH, I FOUND OUT THAT HER GERMAN SHEPHERDS GO ALONG FOR THE RIDE AND HIKES WITH HER. WHILE I RECOGNIZE LAYLA UP THERE AS BEING A GERMAN SHEPHERD, I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT WILEY ON THE RIGHT IS ALSO A GERMAN SHEPHERD. I HADN'T SEEN THAT YET BEFORE. NEXT UP, WE HAVE... SARAH HUNSAKER, PICTURED HERE WITH HER PUP, HONEY. HONEY WAS RESCUED FROM A LOCAL SHELTER FOUR YEARS AGO AND HELPED TO BOND WITH HER FAMILY DURING COVID. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE GOT THEIR PETS DURING COVID. SO NEXT UP IS BERNIE, AND BERNIE IS THE STAR OF THE HEINEKE FAMILY. HE ENJOYS TAKING NAPS AND HANGING OUT WITH HIS GUITAR, MUCH LIKE HIS DAD. THE HEINEKES ADOPTED HIM FROM ANOTHER CORONADO FAMILY WHEN HE WAS TWO YEARS OLD. AND THAT FAMILY HAPPENED TO BE BIG BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTERS, SO WE HAVE BERNIE. BERNIE TURNS 10 IN MARCH. NEXT MEETS SANDWICH, THE FOUR-YEAR-OLD BEARDED DRAGON, SO THE NOT-SO-FURRY PET CATEGORY.

WHEN HIS FAMILY PCS'D TO HAWAII, HE STAYED BEHIND TO GUARD AND EDUCATE MS. MOLYNEUX'S STRAND FIRST GRADERS. HE ENJOYS CURLING UP ON A SHOULDER DURING READ-ALOUDS, RUNNING ACROSS THE ROOM FOR A KING WORM, AND WATCHING HIS STUDENTS LEARN. AND I REALIZE, MS. MIGUELICOT, I PUT THE LITTLE SLASHES IN THERE, BUT THANK YOU FOR NOT ADVANCING. SORRY FOR THE ERROR. ASH IS A CLASSIC SOUR PATCH CUDDLER. SHE LOVES TO SNUGGLE, BUT WILL TELL YOU POINTEDLY WHEN SHE IS DONE.

I'VE SEEN HER IN ACTION WITH HER SWIPES. SHE CAME INTO NICOLE'S HOME IN THE MOST CLASSIC OF THE UNIVERSAL CAT DISTRIBUTION

[00:35:02]

SHE JUST SHOWED UP ONE DAY.

AND DECIDED TO STAY. AMY AMMERLING SENT OVER A PICTURE OF HERSCHEL. HE'S 10 YEARS OLD AND IS A TIBETAN-SPANIEL MIX RESCUE PUP WHO WAS FOUND AS A PUPPY TIED TO A TREE AND ABANDONED IN TIJUANA. HE IS A PEOPLE DOG WHO LOVES HUMANS AND WILL SNUGGLE WITH ANYONE. ALMOST ALL OF HIS TEETH HAD TO BE REMOVED, SO HIS TONGUE HANGS OUT WHEN HE SLEEPS. SO HE'S NOT RASPBERRYING ANYONE THERE.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE PINEAPPLE.

PINEAPPLE JUST TURNED THREE.

IN FEBRUARY, HE WAS ADOPTED FROM THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY, AND HE WAS ADOPTED BY THE HANDYSIDES FAMILY.

JEREMY'S WIFE, MELISSA, SAID THAT THEY'D NEVER HAVE A CAT, SO HE WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE HER SEARCHING THE INTERNET AFTER SCHOOL ONE DAY, LOOKING AT KITTENS. PINEAPPLE LOVES HIDING IN BOXES, LOVES NIPPING EVERY MORNING AT HIS WIFE'S TOES. THAT'S JEREMY'S WIFE'S TOES, NOT PINEAPPLE'S WIFE. AND IS A GREAT NURSE CAT ANY TIME SOMEONE GETS SICK. HE ALWAYS STAYS BY THEIR SIDE. HE'S A SWEET CAT AND THE HANDYSIDES FAMILY IS SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE HIM AS THEIR PET. NEXT UP FROM THE NOT-SO-FURRY CATEGORY, AGAIN, WE HAVE AT STRAND A JELLYFISH CLASS PET. AND I HAD JUST GONE TO SEAWORLD AND SAW THE JELLYFISH DISPLAY THEY HAD THERE. I WAS LIKE, WOW, HOW DOES SHE DO THIS? LISTEN UP. A JELLYFISH CLASS PET PROVIDES THE EMOTIONAL AND SENSORY BENEFITS OF A CLASSROOM PET WITHOUT THE CHALLENGES OF CARING FOR A LIVE ANIMAL.

WATCHING THE SLOW, RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT OF THE JELLYFISH CAN HELP STUDENTS SELF-REGULATE, CALM THEIR BODIES, AND DE-ESCALATE WHEN THEY ARE FEELING UPSET OR OVERWHELMED. STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO CHECK IN WITH THE CLASS PET AS A CALMING STRATEGY, SUPPORTING SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND CLASSROOM REGULATION. AT THE SAME TIME, USING A REALISTIC BUT ARTIFICIAL PET ELIMINATES HEALTH, SAFETY, ALLERGY, AND CARE CONCERNS, AND PREVENTS ONGOING REQUESTS OR PRESSURE FROM MS. CUMMINS TO OBTAIN A LIVE ANIMAL. I THOUGHT IT WAS LIVE WHEN I FIRST SAW IT. I WAS LIKE, WOW, HOW'D SHE DO THAT? NO, SHE'S A SMART COOKIE.

OKAY, SO JANUARY WAS A VERY BUSY MONTH FOR CTA MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES. ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS THAT I WAS ABLE TO HAVE WAS WITH PRESIDENT KAVANAUGH. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT KAVANAUGH, FOR MEETING WITH ME. AT CTA STATE COUNCIL, WE VOTED TO RECOMMEND CURRENT SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT TRUST... TRUSTEE RICHARD BARRERA FOR A CALIFORNIA STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. ASSEMBLY MEMBER MERIT SUCHI IS ALSO RUNNING FOR THE POSITION. HE'S BEEN A FRIEND TO EDUCATION AND HAS BROUGHT IN MULTIPLE BILLS THAT HAVE BENEFITED OUR DISTRICT. IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT HE'S NO LONGER THE CHAIR OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AT THE STATE LEVEL. HE VOTED A CERTAIN WAY. OTHERS DIDN'T LIKE IT. SO HE'S NO LONGER THE CHAIR, UNFORTUNATELY. AND...

GREAT, GREAT WORK HE'S BEEN DOING FOR US. AT STATE COUNCIL, WE DISCUSSED OUR WORK TOWARDS EXTENDING TRANSITION SERVICES. THOSE CURRENTLY TAKE PLACE IN THIS BUILDING TO ALL SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS THAT NEED THE SERVICES UNTIL THE AGE OF 22. THANK YOU TO CUSD FOR SENDING ME TO THE SCHOOL SERVICES OF CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR'S BUDGET MEETING. IT WAS HELD ON A DAY MUCH LIKE TODAY. WAS THE WEATHER THERE. I WAS JOINED BY MANY OTHER CTA AND CSEA LEADERS TO HEAR THE COMPANY'S EXPLANATION OF THE GOVERNOR'S CURRENT BUDGET PROPOSAL, JUST A PROPOSAL, OF COURSE, BOUND TO CHANGE. BETWEEN NOW AND MAY AND JUNE, AS A RESULT OF THAT, MR. SCHUMACHER AND MYSELF MET WITH MR. SALAMANCA, TO GET SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED BEFORE ACT JOINS THE DISTRICT AT THE BARGAINING TABLE ON MARCH 3RD. THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE THERE'S A CLOUD OF UNCERTAINTY HOVERING OVER MANY OF OUR MEMBERS. AS WE GET NEARER TO MARCH 15TH, THE STATE-MANDATED DEADLINE TO RELEASE. PROBATIONARY 2.

MEMBERS IN OUR DISTRICT WHO THE DISTRICT DECIDES TO RELEASE, AND THEN WE HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO RELEASE PROBATIONARY ONE MEMBERS. SO KIND OF FROM HERE ON OUT, IT'S ALWAYS A AM I, AREN'T I, DO I GET TO STAY, SO A VERY UNCERTAIN TIME. WE APPRECIATE THESE RELEASES, IF ANY ARE NECESSARY, WHEN THEY'RE CARRIED OUT WITH EMPATHY TOWARDS THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY ALL INVOLVED. THIS SEASON IS A DIFFICULT TIME OF THE YEAR IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, THANKS TO THE WAY THAT OUR THREE-YEAR BUDGET IS DONE AT THE STATE LEVEL. WE KEEP LOBBYING FOR IT NOT TO BE THE CASE BECAUSE IT REALLY IS A HEAD GAME FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. SO JUST RAISING YOUR LEVEL OF AWARENESS THERE. AND I

[00:40:02]

THAT'S NOT THE CASE WHEN I'M UP HERE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE SUBJECT, THAT'S AT THE END OF WHAT I'M SAYING. I'M UP HERE TO REPRESENT 176 MEMBERS. SOME DAYS I'M THE CONCERN AND COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT, RECEIVING INFORMATION THROUGH TEXT, CALLS, EMAILS, AND FACE-TO-FACE. THOSE WORDS THEN FIND THEIR WAY TO THIS. REPORT. AS I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, THE VERBIAGE IS NOT MINE.

BUT I'M REMINDED THAT I NEED TO KEEP DOING THIS, PRESENTING THESE REPORTS, BECAUSE IF WE DON'T TELL OUR STORY, SOMEONE ELSE WILL TELL THEIR VERSION OF OUR STORY. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY AND EACH DAY IN YOUR ROLE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? I'D LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL CAT.

OH, THE HIGH SCHOOL CAT? YOU KNOW, DRACO, HE'S HAD STORIES IN THE NEWSPAPER, HE'S HAD A PAGE IN THE YEARBOOK, HE GETS A LOT OF PRESS, SO WE'RE TRYING TO SPREAD THE WEALTH, BECAUSE HE IS ALMOST EVERYWHERE. THERE ARE DEFINITELY CLASSROOMS WHERE HE'S NOT ALLOWED DUE TO ALLERGIES, ETC., BUT YES.

HE IS THE SUPERSTAR AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND I THINK SOME DAYS OF SOCIAL MEDIA, IF HE HASN'T BEEN SEEN LATELY, HAS ANYBODY SEEN DRACO, THE HIGH SCHOOL CAT? AND IT'S ALL OVER. SO THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AGAIN. I LOVE THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 7.1? QUESTIONS? OKAY.

[7.2 Student Board Member Report: Haissam Kouli (5 min.)]

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, THE IMPACT FROM OUR DODEA GRANTS ARE ALREADY VISIBLE IN OUR SCHOOLS. WE'VE PURCHASED NEW HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT HANDS-ON LEARNING, AND OUR TEACHERS ARE DIVIDING INTO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO BRING THE BEST INSTRUCTIONS TO YOUR STUDENTS. FOR K-5, OUR TEACHERS ARE COLLABORATING TO DEVELOP AN INTEGRATED CURRICULUM THAT INTRODUCES COMPUTER SCIENCE CONCEPTS AS EARLY AS KINDERGARTEN.

AT CMS, WE'VE LAUNCHED EXCITING NEW ELECTIVES, INCLUDING AUTOMATION AND ROBOTICS, HOORAY, APP CREATORS, AND DESIGN AND MODELING. AND AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE HAVE HIGHER PASS RATES IN AP COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSES AND EXAMS, WITH INCREASED ENROLLMENT.

TODAY IS ALSO THE CSF DAY OF GIVING. SOME OF THE PRIZES INCLUDE A STAY AT A HOTEL, AN E-BIKE, A GOLF CART, AND MANY MORE BIG ITEMS. SO CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS OF THE CSF DAY OF GIVING. AT VILLAGE, THE FOURTH GRADERS PRESENTED THEIR MISSION PROJECTS ON THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2ND. I REMEMBER MAKING THAT, AND I LOVE TO SEE THE CREATIVE TRADITION STAY ALIVE.

MILLIE BLAKE GOT TO BE PRINCIPAL OF THE DAY ON FEBRUARY 3RD. MORE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS ARE NEEDED TO BE CURBSIDE HOSTS IN THE MORNING EVERY DAY AT 7.55 UNTIL THE BELL. MAKE SURE TO CONTACT MS. BRAGA IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE. VILLAGE ELEMENTARY IS ALSO HAVING THEIR GALACTICA DANCE ON FEBRUARY 27TH. FOOD WILL BE SOLD AT THE EVENT AND TICKETS ARE $18. TK THROUGH 2ND GRADE WILL PARTICIPATE FROM 4 TO 5.30PM AND 3RD THROUGH 5TH GRADE WILL PARTICIPATE FROM 6 TO 7.30PM. OVER AT STRAND, GLOBAL SCHOOL PLAY DAY WAS FEBRUARY 4TH, AND STRAND PARTICIPATED. THERE WERE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR UNSTRUCTURED PLAY. PLAY, AS RESEARCH INDICATES THAT PLAYTIME WITH PEERS HELPS CHILDREN DEVELOP SKILLS OF SELF-REGULATION, COLLABORATION, AND COOPERATION. FIFTH GRADER PIPPA MULSULF WROTE A POEM ON KINDNESS. IT GOES AS FOLLOWS, IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE KIND, IT WILL ALWAYS REPAY, SO MAKE SOMEONE SMILE BY THE END OF THE DAY. A NOTE TO YOURSELF, A LITTLE REMINDER, IF YOU ARE KIND, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE KINDER. GIVE JOY, DON'T TAKE IT, BE KIND, DON'T FAKE IT. AND KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT IF YOU'RE TRUE, THE GOOD DEEDS AND KINDNESS WILL COME BACK TO YOU.

SHAKESPEARE, BUT CONGRATS TO HER. THAT'S AN AMAZING POEM.

I'M PROUD OF HER. VOLUNTEERS FOR SILVER STRAND PTO'S LUAU BASKET CLASSROOM ACTIVITY ARE NEEDED. MAKE SURE TO EMAIL PTO TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE EVENT OR HOW

[00:45:02]

SILVER STRAND ON THEIR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO RAISE AWARENESS AND SUPPORT FOR THOSE IN NEED. CONGRATS TO THE CMS BOYS BASKETBALL A-TEAM ON WINNING THE DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. THE APA KIDS AND ASB KIDS WENT TO DISNEYLAND ON SOME BONDING FIELD TRIPS. I WISH... MISS PALACIOS PETERS WAS HERE TO HEAR THAT. SHE LOVES DISNEYLAND. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW. THE HOUSE OF CARDS DANCE IS GOING TO BE ON FEBRUARY 27TH. THE WEEK LEADING UP TO THAT WILL ALSO BE A SPIRIT WEEK. MONDAY IS VALENTINE'S PJ DAY. TUESDAY IS BAGGY CLOTHES DAY.

WEDNESDAY WILL BE JERSEY DAY.

THURSDAY IS CUPID COLORS. AND FRIDAY WILL BE CARD DAY.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ALSO OPENS TOMORROW NIGHT. I HOPE ALL OF YOU GUYS... GO SEE THAT.

THE COSTUMES LOOK AMAZING.

ANNIKA, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT PRETTY HARD, YEAH? OVER AT CHS, COMMUNITY COLLEGE WEEK WAS THE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY, AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE PARENT NIGHT WAS FEBRUARY 4TH, AND THERE WAS A GOOD TURNOUT.

THE FIRST WEEK WAS ALSO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELING WEEK. HI, MS. ARENA. WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THAT THEY DO TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS. TERM 2 CLUB RUSH WAS FEBRUARY 5TH, WHERE WE SAW A WHOPPING 30 CLUBS. SOME OLD, BUT MANY NEW. WE NOW HAVE OVER 80 CLUBS, ALONG WITH OUR ACADEMIC CLUBS. MY FAVORITE NEW CLUB IS THE TRADER JOE'S CLUB, WHERE THEY TRY FOOD FROM TRADER JOE'S.

AND DON'T WORRY, SEAN, I DIDN'T MISS THIS. THE TEDX CLUB IS GOING TO HAVE THEIR FIRST EVENT.

MAKE SURE TO JOIN ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH FROM 5 TO 7 IN THE CHS THEATER TO LEARN ABOUT SOMETHING NEW FROM ONE OF OUR TALENTED STUDENTS.

EXCUSE ME. I WENT TO THE BOYS' SOCCER SENIOR NIGHT, AND THAT WAS AMAZING. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU GUYS HEARD ABOUT THAT. IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE A HOMECOMING HALFTIME SHOW. A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE PARENTS WHO SET IT UP. WE CELEBRATED SEVERAL OTHER ATHLETIC SENIOR NIGHTS, AND THIS WEEK HAS BEEN PLAYOFFS FOR ALL OF OUR WINTER SPORTS TEAMS. I'M ALSO VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT OUR KINDNESS WEEK WAS A MASSIVE SUCCESS. WE HANDED OUT A LOLLIPOP ALONGSIDE A KIND NOTE TO EVERY SINGLE STUDENT ACROSS THE CAMPUS. THERE WAS A HIGHLIGHT ON THE BROADCAST, AND HERE'S THE BEST PART.

IN THINKING ABOUT STUDENT CONNECTIONS, WE TRIED SOMETHING NEW BY SETTING UP A SURVEY TO TAKE IN STUDENT DATA. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS IN THE CHS NEWSLETTER CALLED ASB MATCHMAKER.

INTERESTED STUDENTS COULD TAKE A SURVEY, AND WE GATHERED DATA FROM MORE THAN 160 PEOPLE AND MADE MORE THAN 80 MATCHES. TO PUT MANY PEOPLE WHO DID NOT KNOW EACH OTHER WITH A MATCH THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN. SO I HEARD A LOT OF HUBBUB ABOUT THAT. A LOT OF PEOPLE... WE'RE EXCITED TO MEET SOMEBODY NEW FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I THINK THAT THIS SORT OF TRADITION CAN BE A MAINSTAY AT CHS. SO, I WAS REALLY PROUD OF THAT EVENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO CHRISTOPHER DYSON, OUR AMAZING VICE PRESIDENT, FOR PROCESSING THAT DATA, ALONGSIDE OUR COMMISSIONER OF PUBLICITY, MADDIE COLLINS.

THERE WAS A TON OF ENERGY SPURRED AROUND THIS, AND I SAW MANY KIDS INSPIRED TO GO MEET A NEW PERSON.

HINTING OUT THOSE COUPLES WAS PRETTY FUN. COSA ALSO HOSTED ITS VALENTINE'S SOCIAL EVENT.

STUDENTS ENJOYED GAMES AND ACTIVITIES AND TIME TOGETHER ACROSS CONSERVATORIES. YOU CAN SEE A BEAUTIFUL BULLETIN BOARD FULL OF KIND MESSAGES TO NUMEROUS STUDENTS AND FACULTY IN THE COSA HALLWAY.

CHS CAMPUS IS LOOKING GOOD. CHS IS ALSO GEARING UP FOR OUR NEW ISLANDERS. LAST WEEK, MEMBERS OF ISLANDER ADVISORY TEAM SPOKE WITH CMS 8TH GRADERS ALONGSIDE COUNSELORS ABOUT CHS OPPORTUNITIES AND CLASSES.

LAST NIGHT WAS FUTURE ISLANDER NIGHT, AND ALTHOUGH WE THOUGHT THE WEATHER WOULDN'T BE GREAT, THERE WAS AMAZING TURNOUT, AND IT SEEMED LIKE ALL THE KIDS THERE REALLY WERE EXCITED TO COME TO CHS. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO INVITING THE 8TH GRADERS TO CHS NEXT TUESDAY FOR A COSA SHOWCASE AND APPLICATION INFORMATION EVENT, WHERE, THERE AGAIN, I WILL BE THE HOST. COSA'S MUSICAL, THEATER, AND DRAMA STUDENT, LUCA HANSEN, JUST WON AT THE L.A. AND SAN DIEGO REGIONAL ENGLISH SPEAKING UNION CON...

[7.3 Coronado High School Annual Report: Principal, Karin Mellina (15 min. + Board Discussion)]

SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER? I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE PRINCIPAL OF CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL, PRINCIPAL KAREN MOLINA. WELL PLAYED, SEAN. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. PRESIDENT KAVANAUGH, GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS, STEPHEN MUELLER, MR. MCELLIGOT, MR. SALAMANCA, AND, OF COURSE, THE PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE RIGHT HERE, MCCOOLEY, ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF OTHER STUDENTS. THAT ARE IN THE ROOM WHO ARE JUST ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. AND I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT THEY'RE HERE TONIGHT. SOME OF MY STUDENTS THAT HAVE MADE MY TIME AND CONTINUE TO MAKE MY TIME AT CHS SO FULFILLING. BECAUSE I AM SO FORTUNATE TO GO TO A PLACE EVERY SINGLE DAY WHERE I GET TO BE WITH KIDS LIKE THIS. WHO REALLY CARE ABOUT OUR SCHOOL, CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING, CARE ABOUT WHAT THEIR FUTURE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, AND REALLY DO LIVE WHAT WE WANT FOR OUR STUDENTS. WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR PORTRAIT OF A BIRD. SO I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO SHARE WITH YOU LOTS OF THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING. I FEEL LIKE HYSAM JUST DID A LOT OF THE WORK FOR ME. THANK YOU, HYSAM, AS HE DOES OFTEN. I JUST TOLD HIM YESTERDAY, I'M NOT SURE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITHOUT HIM NEXT YEAR.

BUT I KNOW THAT YOU HAD TIME TO REVIEW MY REPORT, WHICH WAS LENGTHY. SO I AM GOING TO DO MY BEST, EVEN THOUGH I SAY THIS EVERY YEAR, I AM GOING TO DO MY BEST TO MOVE THROUGH SOME OF THIS INFORMATION TONIGHT.

QUICKLY AS I CAN, AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY. HERE'S OUR MARVELOUS STAFF FROM BACK IN AUGUST. AND I JUST WANT TO SHARE SOME PICTURES OF JUST SOME FUN THINGS THAT HAPPEN.

SEAN'S ON THE SCREEN AGAIN BECAUSE HE'S EVERYWHERE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE PROGRAMS AND ALL OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE TO OUR STUDENTS. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR MAKING SURE THAT THOSE THINGS HAPPEN BECAUSE THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT BRING OUR KIDS. IT'S JUST SCHOOL EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND KEEP THEM INVESTED AS LEARNERS AND GET THEM ON THEIR WAY FOR THE NEXT GREAT THINGS IN THEIR LIFE. SO FIRST, I'LL JUST START WITH SOME SIMPLE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION.

ONE THING TO TAKE NOTE OF IS THAT WE HAVE SEEN A CONSISTENT DOWNWARD TREND IN OUR ENROLLMENT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. I'VE NOW, I'M IN MY FIFTH YEAR AT CHS, AND SINCE I'VE BEEN AT CHS,

[00:55:02]

BASED ON STUDENT VOICE AS WELL AS BASED ON WHAT WE FEEL IS GOING TO HELP TO GET OUR STUDENTS INTO THE BEST PLACE AS WE SEND THEM OFF INTO COLLEGE AND CAREER. SO OUR NUMBERS FOR 9TH, 10TH, 11TH, AND 12TH GRADE, WE'VE GOT A REALLY SMALL 11TH GRADE, SMALL, BUT THANKS.

EXTREMELY MIGHTY, 11TH GRADE, AND WE HAVE OUR LARGEST GRADE CURRENTLY IS OUR CURRENT SENIOR CLASS. WE DO HAVE ABOUT 106, IT'S PROBABLY MORE THAN 106 NEW STUDENTS AT THIS POINT. WE'RE REALLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE A COMMUNITY WHERE STUDENTS ARE WELCOMING TO ALL OF OUR NEW STUDENTS THAT COME ON CAMPUS. MILITARY STUDENTS, ABOUT 25% OF THEM ARE COSA STUDENTS, ABOUT 160. I THINK WE MAY BE AT LIKE 162. INTER-DISTRICT TRANSFERS WERE AT 222, AND 7% OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE OUR COSA INTER-DISTRICT TRANSFERS. AS PRINCIPAL FILAR HIGHLIGHTED IN HER REPORT, I DID WANT TO POINT OUT OUR NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE ARE PROVIDING SERVICES. STUDENTS WITH IEP IS 11% AND STUDENTS WITH 504 IS 11% OF OUR STUDENTS. SO MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE INDIVIDUALIZING LEARNING FOR THOSE STUDENTS IS REALLY CRITICAL. AND AND AGAIN, WE ARE REALLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE AN NDR. CT PROGRAM ON OUR CAMPUS, AND ABOUT 10% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE PART OF THAT. MAYBE SOME OF THEM ARE EVEN IN THE AUDIENCE. OKAY, SO MOVING ON. TONIGHT, I WILL GO THROUGH MANY OF THE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS MEASURES.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT LOOK AT OUR CALIFORNIA DASHBOARD, YOU KNOW THAT OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER INDICATORS ARE BASED ON ALL OF THESE ITEMS. SO I'M NOT GOING TO READ ALL OF THIS TO YOU, BUT... I DO LOVE THAT PHOTO THAT I TOOK LAST YEAR AT THE END OF GRADUATION.

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. WE ARE GETTING THEM READY TO GO OFF INTO THE WORLD WITH ALL OF THESE AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES IN PLACE. SO THERE ARE DIFFERENT PATHWAYS TO TAKE IN ORDER TO BE DEEMED COLLEGE AND CAREER READY. SO SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, THESE EIGHT DIFFERENT PATHWAYS.

THERE'S FOUR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY ONLY NEED TO FIT INTO ONE OF THESE EIGHT MEASUREMENTS.

SO THERE ARE DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS AND I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS TONIGHT.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO SHOW YOU IS THIS. SO THIS IS A CHART. THAT IS OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER INDICATOR MEASUREMENTS. AND THIS YEAR, WE ARE AT 81.1% PREPARED, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN MANY, MANY YEARS. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT DATA POINT A LITTLE BIT LATER. THIS IS A GREAT CHART BECAUSE IT SHOWS YOU ALL OF THESE COMBINATIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS. I AM GOING TO DIG INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE. I KNOW I DIDN'T PUT THIS IN THE REPORT, SO I AM HAPPY TO SEND THIS TO YOU. YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT. SO TAKING A LOOK AT THE COLLEGE AND CAREER INDICATOR, WE CAN SEE THAT WE ARE IN THE BLUE. SO, ESSENTIALLY BLUE, A, GREEN, B, YELLOW, C, D, F. WE HAVE BEEN IN THE BLUE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME, BUT THIS IS THE HIGHEST THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN IN A WHILE AT 81.1% PREPARED FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER. AND THIS IS BASED ON ALL OF THOSE STATISTICS, ALL OF THAT DATA THAT THEY PUT TOGETHER. THIS IS PART OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL PROFILE, WHICH YOU CAN FIND ON THE WEBSITE. THAT HAS ALL OF THESE OTHER PIECES OF DATA AS WELL. OUR GRADUATION RATE HAS GONE UP TO 99.6, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. OUR UC A THROUGH G REQUIREMENTS WENT UP AGAIN THIS YEAR TO 80.5. SEALS OF BILITERACY HAS INCREASED, PATHWAY COMPLETERS HAVE INCREASED, AP STUDENTS, AP EXAMS THAT WERE GIVEN, AS WELL AS THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE TAKING THOSE EXAMS HAS INCREASED. SO I'M EXCITED TO SHOW YOU AND DIG IN A LITTLE BIT MORE TONIGHT TO SEE THAT. LITERALLY EVERY DATA POINT THIS YEAR HAS GONE UP AT SWORN AUTO HIGH SCHOOL, EVERY SINGLE ONE. AND I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT FOR, AND I'M LOOKING AT THEIR FACES. BECAUSE THE CURRENT STUDENTS, THE SENIORS IN THE ROOM, ARE STUDENTS THAT I MET WITH A LOT LAST YEAR, TALKED AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF CASP TESTING, AP TESTING, TAKING THINGS SERIOUSLY WHEN THEY ARE TAKING ASSESSMENTS, BECAUSE THEY REALLY DO MATTER, AND THEY ARE INDICATORS OF STUDENT LEARNING AND READINESS.

SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS IN ANOTHER WAY. SO IF YOU LOOK

[01:00:01]

SINCE THE CLASS OF 23, 24, AND 25, THEY DO HAVE CLASS OF 2019, BUT THERE WERE SEVERAL YEARS THAT THEY WEREN'T UTILIZING THE DATA BECAUSE THEY HAD TO RECALIBRATE, GO BACK TO A BASELINE AFTER COVID. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE HAD CONSISTENT GROWTH IN OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE PREPARED.

THE NUMBER, THE PERCENTAGE IS THERE IN SORT OF THAT DARKER BLUE OF THE STUDENTS THAT ARE APPROACHING PREPARED, AND THEN IN THE LIGHTER BLUE, THE STUDENTS THAT ARE NOT PREPARED, THE PERCENTAGE.

THEN, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY HAVE BEEN TAKING A LOT OF A DEEPER LOOK INTO, AND WE'RE DOING THAT WITH WASC AS WELL, ARE SOME SUBCATEGORIES, SOME SUBPOPULATIONS WITHIN THE DATA. AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THAT. FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS, OUR SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS HAS GONE UP TO 67%. AND OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, ALTHOUGH IT'S AT 31 AND LAST YEAR IT WAS 37, THAT'S STILL REALLY OUTSTANDING. SO GREAT DATA HAPPENING FOR OUR SUBPOPULATIONS AS WELL.

SO LOOKING AT AP TESTING, AP SCORES WERE REALLY, REALLY GREAT THIS YEAR. I WAS IN NORTH CAROLINA. I WOKE UP EARLY IN JULY AND OPENED UP SUCH A NERD, OPENED UP COLLEGE BOARD, BECAUSE I HAD TO SEE HOW EVERYBODY DID. AND I WAS SENDING TEXT MESSAGES TO THE TEACHERS SAYING CONGRATULATIONS. BUT OUR NUMBERS ARE REALLY OUTSTANDING.

AND IN ADDITION, WE ARE BACK UP TO WHERE WE WERE IN 2020, AROUND 800 PARTICIPATION RATE.

AND THE DATA HAS REALLY INCREASED FOR THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE RECEIVING A 5 AND THOSE RECEIVING A 3, 4, AND 5. SO JUST TO SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT AP TESTING.

LIKE I SAID, WE'RE ON THAT UPWARD TREND. OUT OF 22 OF THE MAIN ASSESSMENTS GIVEN, WE DO GIVE A FEW OTHER ASSESSMENTS THAT WE DON'T HAVE COURSES ON OUR CAMPUS, BUT OUT OF THE 22... 19 OF THOSE TEST SCORES MET OR EXCEEDED THE GLOBAL RATE, THE GLOBAL SUCCESS RATE, SO 19 OF THEM. AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A COUPLE OF STATISTICS WITH YOU. I KNOW, DR. BATTLE MAY HAVE GONE INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT, BUT I'M JUST SO EXCITED.

COMPUTER SCIENCE PRINCIPLES WENT FROM A 39% TO A 71%, AND JAVA, COMPUTER SCIENCE A, WENT FROM A 29% TO A 67%. AND U.S.

HISTORY THREE YEARS AGO WAS IN THE 50S, AND THIS YEAR IT'S 92%. SO IT'S PRETTY AMAZING. AP BIO IS HOLDING STEADY. AP CHEM HAS BEEN 100% ACROSS THE BOARD.

THESE KIDS ARE CRUSHING IT ON THESE ASSESSMENTS, AND THEIR TEACHERS ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING THEM READY FOR IT. SO I'M JUST SO EXCITED FOR THE KIDS, SO EXCITED FOR THE TEACHERS. SO MOVING ON, AND YOU MAY HAVE A QUESTION FOR ME ABOUT THIS, SO PSAT, WE DID A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR. THIS YEAR, WE OFFERED IT ON A SATURDAY, RATHER THAN DOING IT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. WE REALLY WANTED TO CAPTURE SOME INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES BACK, AND SO WE PUT THE DATE OUT AS EARLY ON AS POSSIBLE AND INVITED WHOMEVER WANTED TO COME. SO WE HAD ABOUT 180-ISH STUDENTS THAT SHOWED UP. AND THE DATA THAT I PROVIDED HERE IS BASED ON THAT NUMBER OF STUDENTS. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IN 22, 23, AND 24, IT'S BASED ON ALL 9TH, 10TH, 11TH GRADERS THAT WERE ON CAMPUS.

BUT THIS IS JUST THE 180 STUDENTS THAT TOOK IT. SO THEY MET BENCHMARKS AT 96% AND 74% FOR READING AND WRITING, AS WELL AS FOR MATH. YOU CAN SEE I PUT TOGETHER. FOR 78 STUDENTS OF 9TH AND 10TH GRADERS, THEIR AVERAGE BENCHMARK FOR MATH WAS A 560 FOR BOTH READING AND WRITING AND FOR MATH, WHEREAS THE STANDARD BENCHMARK FOR 9TH AND 10TH GRADE IS REALLY LIKE A 430 AND LIKE A 490. AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT OUR JUNIORS, THERE WERE 97 OF THEM WHO TOOK THE ASSESSMENT THIS YEAR. AND THEIR COMPOSITE WAS AN 1135, WAY EXCEEDING THE NATIONAL COMPOSITE. THE STUDENTS DID REALLY, REALLY WELL. BUT BACKING UP FOR A MOMENT TO THIS YEAR'S SENIORS, THERE WERE 11 STUDENTS THAT EARNED NATIONAL MERIT COMMENDATION AWARDS. THOSE 11, THAT'S THE LARGEST NUMBER I'VE SEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN AT CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL. AND TODAY I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLAR THAT I HAVE ONE FINALIST. SHE DOESN'T KNOW YET, BUT SHE'S GOING TO FIND OUT TOMORROW. I BET YOU CAN GUESS WHO IT IS. ALL RIGHT, SO VERY EXCITING, GREAT DATA.

AND IT WAS INTERESTING

[01:05:02]

BASED ON HOW EVERYTHING IS CALCULATED ACROSS THE STATE. SO WE ARE DOING REALLY WELL WITH SCIENCE, WE'RE DOING REALLY WELL WITH ENGLISH, AND WE ARE DOING REALLY WELL WITH MATH.

EVERYTHING HAS UPTICKED ONE COLOR. I WILL SAY THAT LAST YEAR I WENT ON WHAT I CALLED ON TOUR, AND I WENT TO EVERY 11TH GRADE HISTORY CLASS AND EVERY 11TH GRADE ENGLISH CLASS.

I DIDN'T CAPTURE EVERY 11TH GRADER. I MISSED ABOUT 50 OF THEM. BUT I WENT INTO ALL THOSE CLASSES AND I TALKED TO THE STUDENTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF CASP AND WHY. HAVING THIS DATA, PUTTING THE EFFORT IN, INVESTING IN THE TEST WAS SO CRITICAL.

BECAUSE IT IMPACTS SCHOOL RANKINGS, IT IMPACTS WHAT COLLEGES LOOK AT, IT IMPACTS THEIR ABILITY TO BYPASS CERTAIN CLASSES IF THEY WANT TO. IT ALSO IMPACTS. IF THEY ARE GOING TO EARN THE SEAL OF BILITERACY, THEY HAVE TO HAVE AN ELA SCORE. SO THERE ARE MULTIPLE THINGS. AND THE STUDENTS WERE LIKE, OH, WE DIDN'T KNOW. WE'LL PUT IN THE EFFORT. I ALSO INCENTIVIZED THEM AND GAVE AWAY LOTS OF GIFTS, TOO, REMEMBER? SO IT WAS GREAT, AND THEY DID SUCH A GREAT JOB.

SO I'M GOING BACK ON TOUR THIS YEAR, AND I HAVE MY SENIORS WHO HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THE JUNIORS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PUTTING IN THERE. SO SOME OTHER LOCAL ASSESSMENTS THAT WE USE. WE'VE BEEN USING THE MDTP IN MATHEMATICS FOR 10 YEARS NOW, WHEN WE ADOPTED CPM. AND AGAIN, THIS DATA IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

READINESS DATA FOR THE NEXT COURSE. I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT ALTHOUGH THE TEACHERS DO AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH TELLING THE STUDENTS THIS IS REALLY CRITICAL, IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO PUT THE EFFORT IN, BECAUSE IT'S A LOCAL ASSESSMENT AND THERE'S NO TEETH TO IT, STUDENTS DON'T ALWAYS INVEST IN IT. SO BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I WAS THE PRINCIPAL AT CMS, I WAS ABLE TO SAY TO STUDENTS, YOU HAVE TO INVEST IN THIS, OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT END UP IN AN INTERVENTION CLASS. AND IT IS MY JOB AS A PUBLIC EDUCATOR TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING THE INTERVENTIONS THAT YOU NEED. SO THERE ARE STUDENTS WHO REALLY PUT THE EFFORT IN, AND THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT DON'T ALWAYS PUT THE EFFORT IN.

I ACTUALLY HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH A TEACHER THE OTHER DAY ABOUT HOW WE CAN DO THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THE TEACHERS CAN USE WHEN THEY LOOK AT THE MDTP SCORES.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY COULD LOOK AT LINEAR EQUATIONS AND SEE WHERE EACH INDIVIDUAL STRENGTH STUDENTS SCORED ON LINEAR EQUATIONS AND WHAT THOSE EXACTLY LOOKED LIKE.

SO THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY SHOULD BE MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE COVERING AGAIN, VERSUS WHAT THEY KNOW THAT THEIR STUDENTS ALREADY HAVE MASTERED.

WE ALSO STARTED USING STAR ASSESSMENT. WE USED IT A LITTLE BIT LAST YEAR, AND THIS YEAR WE HAVE OUR FOUNDATIONS IM1 TO IM1, WHICH IS A YEAR LONG.

WE ALSO HAVE AN IM2 YEAR-LONG COURSE THIS YEAR, AND THOSE ARE INTERVENTION COURSES. THERE'S TWO SECTIONS OF EACH. IT SLOWS IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT, AND THOSE TEACHERS TEACHING IT ARE PROVIDING OR HAVING STUDENTS TAKE THIS PROGRESS MONITORING ASSESSMENT THAT I KNOW ELEMENTARY USES, MIDDLE SCHOOL USES, AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT IT REALLY DOES PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BENCHMARK AND WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE LANDING. SO THIS HAS BEEN REALLY HELPFUL.

DATA, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO USE THIS AS WELL. THEN OUR LOCAL ASSESSMENT FOR ENGLISH HAS BEEN THE COMMON LIT ASSESSMENT. THE TEACHERS REALLY LIKE THE COMMON LIT ASSESSMENT BECAUSE IT DOES FOCUS IN ON GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS. SO THERE'S A PRE-ASSESSMENT THAT THE STUDENTS TAKE AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR ENGLISH CLASS, AND A POST-ASSESSMENT AT THE END OF THEIR ENGLISH CLASS. SO THIS DATA THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS JUST FROM LAST YEAR FOR ALL OF THE STUDENTS COMBINED TOGETHER. SO THERE WERE SOME INCREASES.

THERE ARE ALSO, THERE'S ALSO THE NATIONAL DATA AS WELL. AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE COHORT INFORMATION AS WELL. AND YOU CAN SEE ACROSS THE BOARD, UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A DIP. AND AGAIN, IT'S ALL ABOUT WHERE ARE THE TEETH IN THESE ASSESSMENTS. SO THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR, TOO, SOME OF THE ENGLISH TEACHERS HAVE,

[01:10:02]

BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY, I WANT YOU TO DO YOUR BEST ON THIS.

BUT THE DATA THAT THEY GET FOR COMMONLIT LOOKS LIKE THIS. THIS IS FROM DR.

BATTLE'S REPORT. THEY CAN SEE FOR EVERY SINGLE STUDENT, WHETHER THEY'RE ON GRADE LEVEL OR IF THEY'RE BELOW, FOR EACH OF THEIR GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS.

AND THESE TEACHERS, THEY USE IT. THEY DIG INTO IT AND THEY USE IT. AND THERE ARE RESOURCES IN COMMONLIT AS WELL THAT THEY CAN PULL FOR THEIR STUDENTS TO BE USING. SO THAT'S THE LITERACY INFORMATION. SO JUMPING INTO A THROUGH G REQUIREMENTS, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH A THROUGH G REQUIREMENTS. AND IF THE COMMUNITY IS NOT WHO'S WATCHING AT HOME, THESE ARE ALL OF OUR REQUIREMENTS. AS YOU KNOW, SOCIAL SCIENCE, IT'S TWO YEARS FOR A THROUGH G. BUT AT CHS, WE HAVE THE THREE-YEAR REQUIREMENT. AND STUDENTS TO BE ON TRACK HAVE TO EARN A C OR HIGHER. JUST SOME DATA POINTS THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU. SO SEAN'S IN THAT PICTURE AGAIN. SEAN'S IN ALL THE PICTURES.

PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS GRADUATING A THROUGH G, I JUST LIKE LOOKING AT THAT. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT? I MEAN, LOOK AT THAT. SINCE 2019, 57% TO 80.5. THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR COUNSELORS, TO OUR TEACHERS, TO OUR STUDENTS, TO OUR PARENTS, TO YOU, THE BOARD, FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT THAT WE GET TO REALLY HELP PUSH OUR STUDENTS.

AND SUPPORT THEM AS BEST AS WE CAN. AND THAT GRADUATION RATE IS EXCELLENT, TOO. THERE'S ALSO SOMEONE ELSE ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW, TOO, THAT DR. YOUNGBLOOD MIGHT KNOW.

SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TRACK ALL OF OUR UC A THROUGH G, BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO IT WITH A VERY SPECIAL FOCUS, A FOCUS ON SPECIAL POPULATIONS, SO OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED. I DON'T GET A TON OF DATA ON OUR ENGLISH LEARNERS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THEM. SO I DON'T GET A TON OF STATISTICAL DATA ON THEM. WE HAVE TO SORT OF FIGURE THAT OUT ON OUR OWN, BUT WE ARE DOING THAT AS WELL.

SEAL OF BILITERACY. ANOTHER ONE THAT'S SO EXCITING TO LOOK AT, 82 LAST YEAR. THIS YEAR, WE HAVE ALREADY HIT 100.

ISN'T THAT AWESOME? 100 STUDENTS WILL BE AWARDED WITH THE SEAL OF BILITERACY.

SO WE'RE AT 100 AND COUNTING.

AND THEN LOOKING AT OUR CAREER, COLLEGE AND CAREER PATHWAYS THAT WE HAVE TO OFFER AT CHS, AND I DO WANT TO SAY IT IS CTE APPRECIATION MONTH, IF YOU SAW IN MY NEWSLETTER. SO I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF OUR CTE TEACHERS OUT THERE WHO WORK SO HARD TO PROVIDE THESE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS. THESE ARE THE PATHWAYS THAT WE HAVE AT CHS.

WE DO HAVE 14 PATHWAYS. AND WHAT HAS BEEN SUCH A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL ADDITION THIS YEAR TO OUR CLASSES IS THE CAPSTONE CLASS. SO THE PICTURE IN THE PRIOR SLIDE, WHERE YOU SAW ANTON YOUNGBLOOD AND SOME OTHER STUDENTS WITH THEIR BOARDS, THEY WERE PRESENTING. THEIR CAPSTONE PROJECTS FOR THE DIFFERENT PATHWAY THAT THEY ARE IN. SO IF YOU'RE IN A BIOMED PATHWAY, YOU CAN BE IN THE CAPSTONE CLASS. IF YOU'RE IN AN ENGINEERING PATHWAY, YOU CAN BE IN THE CAPSTONE CLASS. AND THEY SPEND THAT TERM WORKING ON WHATEVER THEIR PROJECT IS.

AND WHAT'S SO AMAZING IS THAT SOME OF THESE KIDS WILL CONTINUE WITH THEIR PROJECT AND THEIR WORK IN THE FUTURE.

FOR EXAMPLE, ANTON AND HIS GROUP, THEY MADE AN APP, AND IT'S ACTUALLY A WORKING APP. I DON'T KNOW. WERE OTHER STUDENTS THAT CREATED, CREATED ITEMS, THAT THERE'S A HEPA FILTER THAT STUDENTS CREATED? THAT IS LIKE, REALLY INCREDIBLE. AND SHE, ONE OF THE STUDENTS, IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT WHEN SHE GETS TO COLLEGE. THEY'VE DONE SO MUCH RESEARCH, IT'S, IT'S REALLY, IT'S. IT'S WONDERFUL THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE THAT ON CAMPUS NOW. SO THESE ARE JUST THE PATHWAYS INFORMATION.

180 STUDENTS WERE COMPLETERS LAST YEAR. WHICH IS OUTSTANDING. THOSE NUMBERS JUST KEEP GOING UP. AND JUST SOME PICKS OF SOME OF THE KIDS THAT ARE IN THOSE PATHWAY CLASSES WITH GREAT OPPORTUNITIES. SO EARLY COLLEGE CREDIT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE NOW GRADUATING STUDENTS THAT, AND KRISTEN ARINO, OUR LEAD COUNSELOR, AND I JUST CANNOT DO MY WORK WITHOUT HER. SHE'S ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. OFTEN, WE HAVE SO MANY KIDS THAT GRADUATE WITH TOUGH, TONS OF COLLEGE CREDITS ALREADY THAT THEY'RE OFF TO COLLEGE. AND THEY HAVE LIKE, TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF SCHOOL TO DO. AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE FINISHED.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S WONDERFUL TO GIVE ACCESS TO TRYING OUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF COURSES AND GETTING THOSE ARTICULATED CREDITS. BECAUSE IT'S SORT OF A CARROT FOR THOSE STUDENTS, MAYBE THE MORE DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS, TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO TAKE THESE DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES. AND GET

[01:15:01]

SOMETIMES THEY TAKE AN ADDITIONAL COURSE IN SOMETHING THAT WE DO OFFER, BUT THEY CAN'T FIT IT INTO THEIR SCHEDULE FOR SOME REASON. AND THEN ARTICULATED CREDITS, WE HAVE.

THE MAJORITY OF THE ARTICULATED CREDITS ARE IN THE BIOMED, SPORTS MED CLASS, AS WELL AS A LOT OF OUR COSA CLASSES, TOO. AND RECENTLY, OUR VISUAL ARTS TEACHER IN COSA REALIZED THAT SHE COULD BE ARTICULATING SOME OF THESE VISUAL ARTS COURSES IN COSA, AND KRISTEN HAS BEEN WORKING WITH HER TO GET THOSE CREDITS ARTICULATED. SO IT'S VERY EXCITED BECAUSE THOSE KIDS ARE NOW GOING TO HAVE COLLEGE CREDITS RIGHT OUT OF COSA. SO, ADDITIONALLY, INTERNSHIPS AND WORK EXPERIENCE, JENNIFER LANDRY IS IN THE ROOM, AND SHE RUNS OUR INTERNSHIP AND WORK EXPERIENCE.

CLASS AND WORKS WITH THESE KIDS. WE ARE UP TO 82 STUDENTS WHO HAVE AN INTERNSHIP OR WORK EXPERIENCE.

WE'VE GOT SOME NEW PEOPLE ON BOARD THIS YEAR THAT ARE WORKING WITH US, BUT WE'RE SO GRATEFUL TO FOCUS. AND, YOU KNOW, THE EAGLE. AND ALL OF THESE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT TO BRING OUR STUDENTS IN AND TEACH THEM WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN THE WORKFORCE. I'M GRATEFUL TO AMY STEWART. SHE HAS TAKEN ON A STUDENT INTERN AS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, WHICH IS REALLY, REALLY EXCITING. AND, OF COURSE, OUR CMS ROBOTICS, SOME OF THEM ARE IN THE ROOM STILL, TOO. THAT DO THEIR INTERNSHIP WITH CMS ROBOTICS. AND IT'S JUST WE'RE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE SO MANY OF THESE. I REMEMBER, I THINK IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO THAT KRISTEN AND I WENT TO CORONADO SAFE AND SAID, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED? AND NOW CORONADO SAFE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH ALL APPLICATIONS THAT THEY GET FOR THEIR INTERNS. SO IT'S IT'S REALLY. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE KIDS OUT THERE, SEEING WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK IN THE REAL WORLD. SO JUST SOME UPDATES THAT WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR. AS I MENTIONED, THE YEAR-LONG IM2, WHICH JULIE STEWART IS SITTING IN THE ROOM, AND SHE IS OUR FABULOUS TEACHER THAT TEACHES THE YEAR-LONG IM2 TO OUR STUDENTS. OUR AEROSPACE ENGINEERING CLASS, WHICH IS NEW THIS YEAR. WE HAVE THE CAPSTONE COURSE. OUR PERSONAL FINANCE HAS BEEN A HIT WITH THE KIDS, THE NINE-WEEK PERSONAL FINANCE COURSE THAT THE KIDS ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVING.

AND I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF STUDENTS IN 10TH, 11TH, AND 12TH GRADE THAT ARE REALLY JEALOUS THAT THEY DIDN'T GET TO TAKE THAT CLASS. THE DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES THAT I MENTIONED, AND THEN AGAIN, WE'VE EXPANDED OUR COURSE OFFERINGS THAT ARE NOW A THROUGH G AS WELL. THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT KRISTEN ARENO DOES. SHE SUBMITS ALL OF THESE COURSES FOR A THROUGH G APPROVAL SO THAT WE CAN COUNT THOSE ON STUDENTS TRANSCRIPTS. AND THEN SOME OTHER SITE UPDATES.

WE IMPLEMENTED A UNIFORM GRADING SCALE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN, I DON'T KNOW, EVER. SO WE WORKED ON THAT LAST YEAR AND IT'S AWESOME. IT'S VERY EXCITING THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING ACROSS THE BOARD. FRESHMAN OFF-CAMPUS LUNCH. I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR ME ABOUT THAT. IT'S GOING REALLY, REALLY WELL. THEY ACTUALLY GET BACK ON TIME BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO BE. WE HAVE SOME SENIORS THAT ARE LATE SOMETIMES, BUT THEY'RE NOT IN THE ROOM, SO THAT'S GOOD.

STUDENT CONNECTION ACTIVITIES, TEEN MENTAL HEALTH, FIRST AID. THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A HUGE NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO KRISTEN ARENO AND MISTY KENT, ONE OF THE OTHER CLINICAL COUNSELORS, WERE TRAINED OVER THE SUMMER TO BRING THIS TO OUR PHI CLASSES. SO EVERY SINGLE NINTH GRADER IS ACTUALLY GETTING CERTIFIED IN TEEN MENTAL HEALTH. THEY, KRISTEN AND MISTY, ARE DOING THIS EVERY NINE WEEKS FOR A FULL WEEK WITH EACH OF THE FIVE CLASSES,

[01:20:01]

AND I'M CURIOUS TO SEE IF THAT SORT OF ROLLS UP OVER TIME. SO, DO YOU SEE THE GUY IN THE GOLD SUIT? THAT'S HEISOM. SORRY, HEISOM, I HAD TO DO IT. I TOLD YOU I HAD A SURPRISE FOR YOU. SO THAT WAS HALLOWEEN. SO, SOME FUN THINGS IN STUDENT CONNECTIONS. AS HYSAM MENTIONED, THERE'S JUST A LOT OF GREAT THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING OVER AT CHS IN OUR SPIRIT WEEKS, AND I DID HAVE TO PUT UP THERE. CHS MATCHMAKER. WHEN HYSAM BROUGHT THIS IDEA AND SHOWED ME ALL OF THE MATCHES THAT WERE MADE, I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDENT CONNECTEDNESS, AND THAT'S ONE OF OUR WASC GOALS, THERE ARE SO MANY KIDS WHO, IF WE SAY, COME TO THIS MEETING, IF YOU WANT TO GET CONNECTED, COME, YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST AT LUNCH.

THEY DON'T SHOW UP, BUT, MAN, WILL THEY TAKE A SURVEY IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN HOME. THERE WERE KIDS' NAMES, AND HEISMAN AND I ALSO LOOKED AT THE DATA. THERE WERE KIDS' NAMES THAT WE WERE BOTH LIKE, I'M SO EXCITED THAT PERSON PUT IN WHAT THEIR INTERESTS ARE.

MUSIC THAT THEY LIKE, AND BECAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT WE WERE LIKE, I WOULD NEVER THINK THEY WOULD DO IT, AND THEY WERE MATCHED. AND THEY, THE ASB KIDS, SENT THAT INFORMATION OUT TO ALL OF THE STUDENTS THAT WERE PART OF THE MATCHMAKING, AND I ASKED HIM, OKAY, NOW WE HAVE TO FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY MET UP AND TALKED TO EACH OTHER. SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, AND AS HE SAID IN HIS REPORT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE AT... CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL OFTEN, SO WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

AND THE MATCHMAKING WAS EASY BECAUSE ALL THE DATA WAS COMPILED BY AI. SO IT WAS JUST, IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING STUDENT CONNECTION TO HAVE, BUT WE NEED TO DO THE NEXT PART, WHICH IS THE FOLLOW-UP PART.

BUT SO MANY FUN EVENTS THAT HAPPENED AT CHS. AND WE LOVE SEEING OUR STUDENTS GETTING INVOLVED. SO SOME CELEBRATIONS, OBVIOUSLY 30 YEARS OF COSA, OBVIOUSLY JUST AN AMAZING STAFF. SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG, LONG TIME AND JUST COME TO WORK EVERY DAY WITH A BIG SMILE ON THEIR FACE. AND SOME NEW STAFF WHO ARE JUST LOVING BEING THERE. AND THEN WE KIND OF RECALIBRATED WITH OUR COSA PREVIEW NIGHT, AND INSTEAD WE ACTUALLY DID A SHOW. AND WE HAD QUESTIONS. QUITE A TURNOUT THIS YEAR. SO HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK WE'LL HAVE LOTS OF STUDENTS THAT WILL SHOW UP FOR THE APPLICATION EVENT AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT CONSERVATORIES. BECAUSE WE ARE REALLY LOOKING TO BRING IN MORE STUDENTS FOR COSA. SO JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN READ.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I'M SO HAPPY THAT THE ELA AND MATH SMARTER BALANCED ASSESSMENT DATA, THERE WERE INCREASES. THERE WERE ACTUALLY, GREAT INCREASES WHEN WE DIG INTO THE SUBPOPULATION.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS WENT WAY UP IN ELA.

IN MATH, THE STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES WENT WAY UP, WHICH IS LIKE, SO EXCITING.

WE'VE INCREASED OUR A THROUGH G RATES BY 23% SINCE 2019, AND WE'VE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES MEETING A THROUGH G BY 20% SINCE 2022.

THAT'S A HUGE TESTAMENT TO THE TEACHERS, A HUGE TESTAMENT TO OUR COUNSELORS. OUR SUSPENSION RATES, I HAD TO PUT THAT INDICATOR ON THERE. I'M SORRY, BUT I HAD TO. IT'S GREEN. IT'S NEVER GREEN. BECAUSE THE WAY THAT THEY DO IT, WHEN THEY PUT ALL OF THE DATA TOGETHER AT THE STATE LEVEL, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A FEW STUDENTS THAT GET SUSPENDED IN CERTAIN SUBPOPULATIONS,

[01:25:02]

SO WE DID SO MUCH WORK LAST YEAR, MR. KUSROW, MRS. LEWIS, MYSELF, WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH WORK TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS. TOUCH BASE WITH THEM, TALK ABOUT BEHAVIORS, TALK ABOUT EXPECTATIONS, TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN DO THINGS TO BE BETTER. AND HAVE A MINDSET OF PUTTING IN THE HARD WORK. I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT THIS IS WHERE WE WERE AND THAT THIS INCREASED. SO ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE MORE STUDENTS TAKING FOUR CLASSES PER TERM. THERE ARE LESS OFF-ROLES BEING TAKEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. STUDENTS ARE ACCESSING CAMPUS REMEDIATION, GRADE-LEVEL MEETINGS. WE ADDED GRADE-LEVEL MEETINGS LAST YEAR, AND AT OUR GRADE-LEVEL MEETINGS, WE FOCUS IN ON INTERVENTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS, WHETHER THAT'S ACADEMIC, BEHAVIORAL, ATTENDANCE, AND WE ARE GETTING TOGETHER AS A FACULTY TO DISCUSS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT WORKS FOR THAT STUDENT. YOU SEEM TO BE MAKING IT HAPPEN, BUT I'M HAVING A TOUGH TIME.

SO THEY'RE SHARING BEST PRACTICES. AND, AS I SAID, WE IMPLEMENTED SOME ADDITIONAL TIERED SUPPORTS. SOME COUNSELING CELEBRATIONS, SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENING. WEEKLY COUNSELING LESSONS IN FIVE, THE TEEN, MENTAL HEALTH, COLLEGE AND CAREER DAY. WE JUST WRAPPED THAT UP AT THE START OF TERM TWO, WHICH WAS FANTASTIC. AGAIN, COLLEGE NIGHTS, COLLEGE VISITS. WE HAD OVER 80 THIS FALL. A NEW COMMUNITY COLLEGE NIGHT, SORRY, A NEW COMMUNITY COLLEGE NIGHT.

THAT WAS IN JANUARY, WHICH IS JUST SUCH A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO, YOU KNOW, ARE THINKING, I'M NOT SURE I'M READY FOR A FOUR YEAR. AND I DO HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT. WE'RE STARTING TO SEE, AND IN CORONADO, IT'S A LITTLE HARD, BUT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A NORMALIZATION OF. IT'S OKAY TO GO TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE BECAUSE IT REALLY IS. AND FIVE YEARS AGO, I COULDN'T SAY THAT. AND NOW I CAN. SO I'M REALLY GRATEFUL THAT THE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT AND KRISTEN PUT TOGETHER THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. NIGHT, CONTINUED GUARANTEED ADMISSION AGREEMENT WITH CAL STATE, SAN MARCOS, AND THEN A NEW BRING TO CHANGE CLUB ON CAMPUS. SO I'M ALMOST FINISHED. NEXT STEPS FOR US. OUR WASC SELF-STUDY YEAR IS COMING UP NEXT YEAR.

OUR ACCREDITATION EXPIRES AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, SO IT'S TIME TO JUMP BACK ON THAT TRAIN AND REALLY TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE AT CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAXIMIZE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS AND LOOK AT THOSE SPECIAL POPULATIONS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY WANT TO FOCUS ON IS GETTING MORE STUDENTS INVESTED IN THE STATE SEAL OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. I TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FACT THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO INVEST AS MUCH TIME IN DOING THAT OR PUSHING THAT WITH THE STUDENTS. THERE'S JUST SO MANY THINGS HAPPENING. BUT WHAT'S REALLY GREAT IS THAT I JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM THE STATE THE OTHER DAY ABOUT THE GENERAL ELECTION THAT'S COMING UP IN 2026. AND WE'RE GOING TO DO A MOCK STUDENT ELECTION.

WE'RE GOING TO SIGN UP THROUGH THE STATE. AND I HAVE MR. SILVERMAN AND MR. TANAKA, AND WE'RE GOING TO RUN THAT ON THE CHS CAMPUS NEXT YEAR.

SO I'M REALLY, REALLY EXCITED. AND THEN ALSO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT GETTING AB 2097 IMPLEMENTED WITH THE COMPUTER SCIENCE REQUIREMENT. THAT WILL BE FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.

ADDITIONALLY, SOME OTHER NEXT STEPS TO REFINE MTSS TIERED FRAMEWORKS FOR STUDENT ACADEMICS AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL NEEDS, AS WELL AS ACCESS TO INTERVENTIONS. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO LOOKING AT DATA. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT WE ARE FOCUSING ON IS OBVIOUSLY THE PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE. MAKING SURE THAT THESE KIDS ARE LIFE READY WHEN THEY HIT THAT STAGE ON JUNE, WHATEVER IT IS. WELL, NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE MAY. BUT WE NEED TO TAKE A DEEP DIVE IN LOOKING AND ANALYZING LEARNING PATHWAYS FOR OUR STUDENTS. LOOKING AT RIGOR, LOOKING AT ACCESSIBILITY FOR OUR KIDS, MAKING SURE THAT OUR KIDS THAT ARE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE, THOSE C KIDS WHO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE KEEPING ON TRACK, WHO ARE STRUGGLING, WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR THEM SPECIFICALLY. SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A DEEP DIVE, LOOKING INTO WHAT KIND OF KIND OF THINGS WE CAN BE DOING.

WE'RE GOING TO DO MORE PROGRESS MONITORING, LOOKING AT DATA. AND THE LAST THING I WANT TO MENTION IS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OUR SAFETY PROTOCOLS. AS WELL AS TAKE A LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY,

[01:30:01]

IN ENGLISH CLASSES, A LOT OF THE TEACHERS HAVE GONE BACK TO PENCIL AND PAPER, WHICH HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

BUT THEY'VE ALSO, THEY HAVE SUCH RICH DISCUSSIONS. AND WE'RE GETTING STUDENTS TO FULFILL THAT PORTION OF A GRADUATE PIECE ABOUT BEING A GOOD COMMUNICATOR. THEY'RE TALKING AGAIN. THEY DIDN'T TALK FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THAT THEY ARE TALKING MORE, WHICH IS GREAT. SO THAT'S MY REPORT. AND AGAIN, I'M REALLY, JUST SO PROUD OF THESE KIDS. I REALLY LOVE THE CLASS OF 2026.

I LOVE ALL THE CLASSES, BUT THIS IS REALLY A SPECIAL CLASS AND I WILL MISS THEM. I'M NOT SAYING THAT JUST BECAUSE A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM ARE PEOPLE THAT I'M GOING TO MISS.

BUT THEY REALLY ARE AN OUTSTANDING CLASS, AND THEY'VE BEEN EXCELLENT LEADERS FOR THEIR PEERS. SO, YEAH, THAT'S IT. ANY QUESTIONS? AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. IF YOU WILL HANG OUT JUST ONE SECOND, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS REPORT BEFORE WE GET TO OUR QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? OKAY.

NONE. THANK YOU. TRUSTEES, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? THANK YOU.

WONDERFUL BRIEF, AS ALWAYS.

THE AP EXAMS, I NOTICED, SO THOSE, I THINK WE HAD A BIG DIP AFTER THE 4X4 WAS IMPLEMENTED.

IS THAT CORRECT? AND THEN WE, BUT WE'RE RAMPING BACK UP. I THINK KIDS WERE HESITANT. THEY TOOK AN AP COURSE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR. THEY WERE. SO WE'RE BACK ON COURSE NOW.

YES, THEY WERE DEFINITELY HESITANT. HOWEVER, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DATA. I THINK IT'S DOWN AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT THERE. SO 2021, WE'RE IN, SO 21-22 WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE 4X4. AND THE PARTICIPATION WAS AT 603. AND I WILL TELL YOU, THERE WERE STUDENTS COMING BACK FROM COVID, AND THERE WAS HESITATION BECAUSE OF THE 4X4. STUDENTS WERE VERY WORRIED ABOUT...

HAVING A TERM 1 AP COURSE AND NOT HAVING THAT COURSE WHEN AP TESTING CAME UP. HOWEVER, AND TEACHERS CONTINUE TO DO THIS, THEY DO REVIEW SESSIONS. AND NEXT YEAR, IT'LL BE EVEN BETTER BECAUSE WE CAN SPREAD OUT THE AP CLASSES A LITTLE BIT MORE.

LIKE THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR, WE HAD TO DO SOMETHING LIKE U.S. HISTORY IN THE FIRST TERM, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT. AND IN SECOND TERM, YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO GET ALL OF THAT IN BEFORE THE AP TEST. SO THERE WAS SOME STRESS AROUND THAT, TOO. BUT STUDENTS, THAT'S REALLY, THEY'RE NOT SO CONCERNED ABOUT THAT ANYMORE.

LIKE ANYTHING NEW, IT TAKES ABOUT THREE YEARS TO CATCH HOLD. AND SO WE'RE GOING UP WHILE THE STUDENT POPULATION IS GOING DOWN. SO IT'S ACTUALLY BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL CHART SHOWS. THE CTE, THE CAREER, TECHNICAL EDUCATION, I THINK IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE. IT'S SO ROBUST. IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER SCHOOLS, LIKE AT THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE, I WENT TO THE BRIEFING ON THAT, AND WE SHOULD BE THE MODEL SCHOOL THERE, BECAUSE OUR PROGRAM IS SO MUCH MORE ROBUST THAN ANY OF THE ONES I SAW THERE, SO THAT'S FANTASTIC. THE PSAT MOVED TO SATURDAY. THAT WAS INTERESTING, ROUSTING MY SON UP ON A SATURDAY MORNING TO GO TO THAT. I MADE HIM GO. SO IT'S... THAT WAS DONE TO GET MORE ACADEMIC TIME DURING THE... OKAY, SO WE DIDN'T LOSE ANY EDUCATIONAL TIME. YEAH. I AM, TOO, SO THERE'S A YEAR-LONG... IM2 COURSE, I KNOW IM2 IS VERY CHALLENGING. I FOLLOWED ALONG WITH THAT. IS THAT AN OPTIONAL YEAR-LONG PROGRAM? IF SOMEBODY'S NOT SUPER STRONG IN MATH, THEY CAN OPT TO TAKE THE YEAR-LONG? YEP, ABSOLUTELY. OKAY, BUT THERE'S STILL THE HALF YEAR, THOUGH.

OH, YEAH, AND IT'S OPTIONAL.

STUDENTS ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE WHATEVER MATH COURSE THEY WANT TO. THEY CAN EVEN TAKE ADVANCED, BUT COUNSELORS, WHEN THEY MEET WITH THE STUDENTS, THEY'LL LOOK AT DATA, THEY'LL TALK TO THE STUDENT, AND THEY'LL MAKE A...

RECOMMENDATION. SO THERE ARE STUDENTS THAT GO INTO THE YEAR LONG THAT REALLY NEED THE YEAR LONG. THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS THAT GO INTO THE ONE TERM THAT THEN TRANSFER INTO THE YEAR LONG PRETTY SOON

[01:35:02]

BUT WE HAVE SO MANY STUDENTS THAT COME FROM OTHER PLACES, AND A STATE LIKE VIRGINIA, THEY DO ACTUALLY FACTOR PLUSES AND MINUSES INTO THEIR GPA. SO WHEN THEY TAKE THEIR TRANSCRIPT TO VIRGINIA, AND THEY SEE A PLUS OR A MINUS, THEY THINK, OKAY, WELL, WE HAVE TO FACTOR THIS IN. AND THEN SOMETIMES THEY DON'T SEE A PLUS OR A MINUS BECAUSE THAT TEACHER WASN'T USING IT. SO WE HAD DISCUSSIONS AROUND WHAT SHOULD WE BE DOING.

THE OTHER THING, TOO, IS THAT IF I HAVE A CLASS AND A STUDENT GETS A 79.5 IN MY CLASS, WHAT DO THEY GET? IF IT WAS MY CLASS, THEY WOULD GET A B MINUS. BUT SOME TEACHERS WERE SAYING IT'S A C PLUS. SCHOLARSHIPS, YOU CAN ALSO LOSE A SCHOLARSHIP IF YOU HAVE A C ON YOUR TRANSCRIPT.

SO IF I HAVE ONE TEACHER, TWO TEACHERS THAT TEACH THE SAME SUBJECT, TWO STUDENTS THAT GET A 79.5, THIS ONE GETS A B-, THIS ONE GETS A C+. THAT'S NOT FAIR. IT'S NOT EQUITABLE. SO THAT'S WHY WE HAD TO COME UP WITH A GRADING SCALE THAT WAS UNIFORM. AND THAT LEADS INTO MY LAST QUESTION. SO YOU SAID A THROUGH G REQUIREMENTS, C OR HIGHER. SO IF A STUDENT GETS A C-, THAT'S A C? THAT'S THE SAME THING? YEAH. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN DECIDE. SCHOOLS CAN DECIDE IF THEY WANT PLUSES OR MINUSES, IF THEY WANT TO USE THEM. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO USE THEM BECAUSE IT BENEFITS THOSE KIDS THAT ARE COMING FROM PLACES THAT FACTOR IT INTO THE GPA. OKAY, GREAT.

THANK YOU. YEAH. SO THANK YOU.

A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. VERY INFORMATIVE, AS ALWAYS. THE TEST SCORES LOOK GREAT. VERY IMPRESSIVE. I'M SURE IT'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK BY THE STUDENT BODY AND YOUR TEACHERS AND ALL YOUR FACULTY.

I DID WANT TO POINT OUT AT LEAST SOMETHING THAT I WOULD TAKE AWAY, AND YOU MENTIONED THIS, OF COURSE. IT SEEMS TO ME, LIKE YOUR COUNSELING STAFF, IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE A THROUGH G AND THE COLLEGE CAREER READINESS RATES THAT YOU HAVE, SOMEBODY HAS TO BE PULLING THEM ASIDE, SITTING THEM DOWN. WHEN THEY'RE JUST GETTING IN IN NINTH GRADE AND GOING OVER, LIKE, THIS IS THE TARGET, THESE ARE ONE OF THE EIGHT PATHWAYS, ET CETERA. SO MY HAT IS OFF TO THEM, ESPECIALLY.

FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING. SO THAT'S GREAT. THE ONLY OTHER THING IS THE PSAT TESTING. SO OBVIOUSLY, STANDARDIZED TESTING, THE SAT, CAN BE VIEWED AS A CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT, OR CERTAINLY OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, IT'S BEEN DE-EMPHASIZED.

I THINK THE PENDULUM IS STARTING TO SWING BACK A LITTLE BIT.

AND, OF COURSE, THE MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE PSAT IS SORT OF A PRELIMINARY OR A PREPARATORY. THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO TAKE AN SAT. THIS IS THE EXPERIENCE OF DOING THE STANDARDIZED TESTING FOR FOUR OR FIVE HOURS, OR WHATEVER IT IS. AND ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT, THERE ARE ADVANTAGES TO MOVING IT TO A SATURDAY MORNING, GOING FROM 670 IN THE PRIOR YEAR, TAKING IT TO 175. TO ME, THAT ONE COULD SAY THAT, WELL, THAT'S TWO-THIRDS OF THE POTENTIAL STUDENTS DIDN'T HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE. OF SITTING DOWN AND GOING THROUGH THE TEST AND EVERYTHING. AND MAYBE FOR A LOT OF THEM, IT'S NOT GOING TO MATTER. SO I THINK THERE'S A GIVE AND TAKE THERE, AND THERE'S PROBABLY ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES.

BUT THAT'S ONE THING THAT I WORRY ABOUT, IS HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE GOING TO REGRET OR NOT BE WELL SERVED.

BY NOT HAVING THAT OPPORTUNITY, THAT EXPERIENCE OF, LIKE, THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO TAKE THIS EXAM. WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ABOUT IT A LOT, AND WE THOUGHT WE WOULD TRY IT THIS WAY THIS YEAR. AND I WAS TALKING TO THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS ABOUT THE FACT THAT IF WE DO GO BACK TO DOING IT

[01:40:02]

IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT IN SCHOOL, WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, WE REALLY SHOULD BE DOING IT.

SO THAT WE CAN GIVE THE PSAT TO THE 9TH AND 10TH GRADERS THAT FITS THEM. BECAUSE, AS I MENTIONED, THE BENCHMARKS ARE DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS. SO WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IT. AND, AGAIN, I WILL SAY THAT. WE WANT TO MAXIMIZE THE INSTRUCTIONAL TIME, AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO DO THAT TO GET MINUTES BACK. SO THAT'S WHY WE DID IT THIS WAY.

BUT NOTHING'S IN STONE FOR NEXT YEAR AT THIS MOMENT.

THESE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT I'LL HAVE WITH MY LEADERSHIP TEAM TO DETERMINE NEXT STEPS AND TAKE GUIDANCE FROM MY BOSS ON WHAT MAY BE A DIRECTIVE TO DO.

TO KEEP IT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. OKAY. I GUESS I WILL BE THE ONE TO ASK, HOW IS. OFF-CAMPUS LUNCH FOR FRESHMEN COMING.

GOOD. I MEAN, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF KIDS THAT STAY ON CAMPUS.

THERE'S ACTUALLY QUITE A FEW FRESHMEN THAT DO STAY ON CAMPUS, AND THEY'RE BECOMING A LITTLE BIT... AT FIRST, THEY ALL LEFT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME.

BUT WE'VE COME TO FIND THAT, YOU KNOW, THE FOOD IS.THE.

LUNCH IS GOOD, AND IT'S FREE.

SO A LOT OF THEM, I THINK THEY REALIZED, OH, MY GOSH, MY MOM WON'T GIVE ME $10 EVERY DAY TO GO TO STARBUCKS. YOU KNOW, RIGHT? SO A LOT OF THEM ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN STAYING, WHICH IS GREAT.

BUT THEY'RE DOING WELL.

THEY'RE BACK ON TIME. THEY KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO BE BACK ON CAMPUS ON TIME, AND THEY'RE ENJOYING IT. THEY FEEL A SENSE OF COMMUNITY. SO IT'S ACTUALLY GOING REALLY WELL. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. ONE OF THE... ONE OF YOUR EARLIER SLIDES, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER THE TITLE OF IT NOW, BUT I KNOW THAT MILITARY LEADERSHIP WAS ON THERE. AND I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT BEFORE. IS THAT NEW OR IS THAT? NO, THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE. SO THAT'S PART OF THE STUDENTS IN NJROTC THAT REACH A CERTAIN LEVEL IN NJROTC. OKAY. CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW YOU, THERE WAS THE SLIDE THAT TALKED ABOUT DUAL ENROLLMENT AND CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT, AND YOU SAID THAT YOU GET...

REQUEST FROM STUDENTS FOR CLASSES. CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THAT WORKS AND GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF MAYBE A COURSE THAT YOU HAVE NOW THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY A STUDENT? DOES IT HAVE TO BE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF STUDENTS? SO WHEN THE COUNSELORS DO, SO WHEN WE DO COLLEGE AND CAREER DAY, WE'RE ON A ROTATION. AND DURING THAT TIME, THE COUNSELORS HAVE, THEY HAVE ASSEMBLIES. THANK YOU.

WITH THE 9TH AND 10TH GRADERS.

AND DURING THE ASSEMBLY, AT THE END, THEY CAN GIVE A SURVEY. AND SO THEY OFTEN ASK STUDENTS IN THOSE SURVEYS WHAT WOULD BE A DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASS, WHAT WOULD BE A CLASS THAT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN. AND THEN ALSO EARLIER IN THE YEAR, THEY DO AN ASSEMBLY WITH THE CURRENT JUNIORS TO GET THEM READY FOR COLLEGE, BUT ALSO DO A SURVEY WITH THEM. SO THERE'S DIFFERENT SURVEYS THAT HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHERE THEY ASK.

STUDENT INTEREST. AND HOW FAST DOES THAT HAPPEN? I MEAN, IT CAN'T HAPPEN THAT YEAR.

NO, IT'S FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR. IT'S FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR. OKAY.

AND I'M GLAD YOU GAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHS MATCHMAKER. I WAS STARTING TO THINK OF IT AS LIKE, SPEED DATING. NO, IT'S MORE JUST CONNECTING. IT'S FRIENDS.

IT'S FRIENDSHIPS. YEAH. NO, WE'RE NOT. A LOT OF THEM INTENDED TO BE LIKE, JUST A GUY AND HIS FRIEND.

LIKE A BUDDY. YEAH. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. AND, YEAH, THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING TO THE STATE SEAL OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT BACK IN THERE OR HOW, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP SUPPORT THAT. WE DO HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE EARNING IT THIS YEAR. WE DO. IT'S JUST WE'VE GOT TO GET IT OUT THERE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SO, AND HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR WITH DOING THE MOCK ELECTION AND DOING SOME OTHER THINGS.

AND THE OTHER THING, TOO, IS THAT WE NEED... WE NEED TO CLUBIFY IT AGAIN. I JUST NEED TO GET SOMEBODY TO SORT OF RUN IT. BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY KIDS DOING SO MANY THINGS THAT THEY DON'T EVEN REALIZE

[01:45:02]

FOR LEADING CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL, A SPECIAL PLACE FOR ME AS WELL. I JUST WANT TO, I REALLY APPRECIATE TRUSTEE SANDY MENTIONING THE TRANSITION TO THE 4X4. AND PRINCIPAL MOLINA STARTED, KAREN, 21-22, RIGHT? YOUR FIRST YEAR, FIRST YEAR OF THE 4X4. WHEN WE STARTED STUDYING BELL SCHEDULES AT CHS, WE REALLY WERE LOOKING AT A FEW AREAS OF FOCUS AND PRIORITY. ONE WAS UCA THROUGH GE REQUIREMENTS MET.

KAMI, CAN YOU GO TO THAT SLIDE? I THINK IT'S THIS ONE. OKAY.

SO 21-22 IS OUR FIRST YEAR OF THE FOUR BY FOUR. COVID IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, AND WE CAN'T NEGLECT MENTIONING THAT.

BUT LOOKING FROM 17 TO 25 AND THE GROWTH, I THINK WE'VE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVE OF GRADUATING MORE STUDENTS WHO HAVE MET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

ANOTHER FOCUS AND AREA OF PRIORITY FOR US WAS GIVING STUDENTS ACCESS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND OPTIONS FOR COURSES THAT WE CURRENTLY OFFERED, BUT STUDENTS COULDN'T FIT INTO THEIR SCHEDULE. AND, CAMMIE, IF YOU COULD, WORLD LANGUAGE WOULD BE PART OF THAT, LOOKING AT THE GROWTH HERE. FROM 1920 TO TODAY IS REMARKABLE. THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS AND WE FOCUS ON CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION, OFTENTIMES SCHOOLS HAVE A CTE PROGRAM OR TWO CTE PROGRAMS, AND THEY BECOME THE FLAGSHIP PROGRAM FOR THAT SCHOOL. SO MY SON IS A STUDENT IN SAN DIEGO UNIFIED, AND THEY HAVE... CTE PATHWAY PROGRAMS AT CERTAIN HIGH SCHOOLS THAT STUDENTS CAN THEN CHOICE IN TO GO TO. AND WE HAVE A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR A STUDENT BODY OF UNDER 01,000. SO WE'VE ACHIEVED OUR OBJECTIVE OF ADDING A COURSE OF STUDY AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES, ACCESS TO MORE COURSES IN ALIGNMENT WITH THEIR PASSION. CAN WE GO ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE? AND HERE'S EVIDENCE OF THAT.

21, 22, 135 STUDENTS TO TODAY WITH 180. THE NEXT SLIDE.

PLEASE. THIS WAS ANOTHER HUGE AREA OF FOCUS AND PRIORITY OF OURS WHEN WE WERE STUDYING.

BELL SCHEDULE CHANGES. ARE WE PROVIDING OUR STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO PREPARE FOR LIFE BEYOND THE WALLS OF CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL? PART OF THAT IS THE CCI INDEX, AND THOSE NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP.

PART OF THAT WAS EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO EARN COLLEGE CREDITS WHILE IN OUR CARE. CAN YOU GO TO THE NEXT NUMBER THERE? GOING TO 22, 23, 135 STUDENTS TO 255. ANOTHER HUGE PRIORITY OF OURS WHEN WE WERE STUDYING A BELL SCHEDULE CHANGE WAS OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO ACCELERATE OR REMEDIATE IN THE SCHOOL YEAR. SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO RETAKE COURSES OUTSIDE OF CUSD, RIGHT, AT A CHARTER SCHOOL OVER THE SUMMER OR A BYU ONLINE COURSE.

AND SO HOW WERE WE ABLE TO ACCELERATE? AND REMEDIATE WITHIN. I THINK LOOKING AT SOME OF THE COURSES THAT WE'RE OFFERING RIGHT NOW IS EVIDENCE OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO ACCELERATE. WE HAVE CALCULUS 3 OFFERED ON OUR CAMPUS. WE DIDN'T HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE A FOUR-YEAR SEQUENCE OF MATH AND BE IN CALCULUS 3 BEFORE THEY GRADUATED, PRIOR TO OUR NEW BELL SCHEDULE. CAN YOU TAKE ANOTHER JUMP? I COULD GO ON AND ON. INTERNSHIPS, WORK EXPERIENCE. I WANTED TO APPLAUD YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR WEATHERING NOT ONLY A TRANSITION TO A NEW BELL SCHEDULE, BUT STUDENTS COMING OUT OF A PANDEMIC. I THINK THE DATA IS TRACKING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I THINK THAT STUDENTS CAN KIND OF CHOOSE THEIR OWN ADVENTURE AT CHS. AND AS WE CONTINUE TO ADD PROGRAMS, ADD CAPSTONE COURSES, ADD OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE AREAS OF PASSION ON CAMPUS AND OFF OF OUR CAMPUS. WHILE STILL EARNING CREDITS, IT'S ACTUALLY REMARKABLE FOR THE SIZE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL TO PROVIDE A COURSE OF STUDY.

THAT AFFORD OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THIS TO OUR STUDENTS. I'M PROUD OF YOU, I'M PROUD

[01:50:01]

WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, A TRUSTEE ON THE BOARD WHO WAS PART OF A COMMITTEE WHERE THE COMMUNITY WANTED TO STUDY THIS. I THINK IT WAS WORTH IT. AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO REST HERE. AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE PUSHING ON UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP. I JUST WANTED TO SAY, THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE ONE MORE THING TO SAY. I JUST GOT TO SAY THAT SHE'S THE BEST ADMINISTRATOR OUT THERE. I'VE KNOWN MS. MOLINA SINCE SIXTH GRADE, AND SINCE THEN, SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL, NOT JUST IN MY LEARNING EXPERIENCE, BUT IN LITERALLY, LIKE... HUNDREDS OF KIDS' EXPERIENCES. SHE IS ALWAYS JUST THERE FOR EVERYONE. YOU'RE ALWAYS TAKING ON SO MUCH ONTO YOUR PLATE.

YOU'RE THE DIRECTOR OF COSA NOW. SO YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND YEAH, SECOND, EVERYTHING THAT MR. MUELLER SAID. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. AND I DON'T

[7.4 2025-2026 CUSD LCAP Mid-Year Update: Senior Director of Learning, Dr. Megan Battle (10 min. + Board Discussion)]

SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER, THANK YOU PRESIDENT KAVANAUGH. I'D LIKE TO ASK OUR SENIOR DIRECTOR OF LEARNING, DR.

MEGAN BATTLE TO COME ON UP TO THE PODIUM, DR. BATTLE THANK YOU, GOOD EVENING TRUSTEES. IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD TIME DOING THIS MID-YEAR UPDATE FOR YOU.

THE REQUIREMENT BY THE STATE IS THAT WE OFFER A MID-YEAR PROGRESS REPORT FOR OUR LCAP MEASURES AND METRICS ON OR BEFORE FEBRUARY 28TH EVERY YEAR. SO I KNOW YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS MID-YEAR REPORT.

IT OUTLINED ANY OF THE MEASURES THAT WE HAVE TO DATE. SOME METRICS YOU SAW STATED THAT, UM, NUMBERS WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE SPRING WHEN WE HAVE THEM. ALSO UPDATED IN HERE IS OUR MID-YEAR EXPENDITURES. THANK YOU, DEPUTY, FOR YOUR COLLABORATION ON THE REPORT. THERE IS ONE THING I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT AS PART OF OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ONE-TIME FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED. SO ON PAGE 48 OF THE DOCUMENT, IT'S IN OUR GOAL 3 UNDER OUR 3.6.

WE RECEIVED MORE ONE-TIME MONIES, THE LEARNING RECOVERY EMERGENCY BLOCK GRANT FUNDS.

PREVIOUSLY LAST YEAR, WE HAD SPENT OUR ENTIRE ALLOCATION OF THOSE ONE-TIME FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED POST-COVID. THE STATE DID PUT MORE FUNDING IN THAT THEY ALLOCATED TO DISTRICTS, AND YOU CAN SEE OUR ALLOCATION WAS 38 000. SO ONE OF OUR REQUIREMENTS IS THAT WE HAVE TO INCLUDE HOW WE'RE SPENDING THAT IN OUR LCAP. SO I DID MAKE A NOTE IN OUR MID-YEAR REPORT THAT WE ARE EXPENDING OUR ENTIRE ALLOCATION FOR THE 25-26 SCHOOL YEAR GOING TOWARDS THE COUNSELING STAFF THAT WE INCREASED AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. SO IT WAS ADDED INTO THAT ACTION ITEM 3.6 THAT TALKS ABOUT COUNSELING SERVICES. AND SO YOU WILL NOTE A CHANGE IN THE TOTAL FUNDS BUDGETED.

AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE A NOTE IN OUR LCAP IN THIS. SPRING SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION AND PUBLICLY, SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE THAT EXTRA FUNDING WENT.

BUT I AM AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ON OUR MID-YEAR LCAP UPDATE.

THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? DOESN'T LIKE IT? THANK YOU QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THE THE FUNDING THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE COUNSELING AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, THAT'S NOT ONE-TIME FUNDING? THE ALLOCATION THAT WE RECEIVED IS ONE-TIME FUNDING, $38,000.

WE ARE PUTTING IT TOWARDS THE FTE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. IT'S NOT PAYING FOR THE ENTIRE FTE, BUT A PORTION OF IT. AND FOR NEXT YEAR, SO WOULD THAT FTE GO BACK TO? OTHER BUCKETS. OKAY. JUST TO ADD A LITTLE BIT OF THE NUANCE ON THIS. SO THE LREPG GRANT WAS A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER PORTION OF PREVIOUS YEAR'S BUDGETS,

[01:55:02]

YES, IT IS ONE TIME. IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THAT FUNDING SOURCE.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT HOW WE'RE GOING TO FUND THAT IN THE FUTURE.

GREAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. OKAY, ITEM 7.5 WAS PULLED. THERE WERE NO ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR. AND ITEM 9.1, PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS. SO, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON AN ITEM THAT WAS NOT ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, QUEUE UP BEHIND THE PODIUM.

[9.2 Board Member Comments]

THANK YOU. OKAY, I LOVE THE GO GREEN OR GO HOME SHIRT. I WANT THAT SHIRT. I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT EVERY TRUSTEE UP HERE HAS SOLAR PANELS ON THEIR HOUSE. AM I RIGHT? YEAH, I THINK WE'RE ALL SOLAR PEOPLE. SO THAT'S GREAT. I ALSO LOVE THE LETTERMAN JACKET THAT MR. WILBUR HAS, ALTHOUGH IT'S FOR SWIMMING, RIGHT? I WISH I SAW MORE LETTERMAN JACKET, BUT YOU WEAR A FLOATY AT THE SAME TIME. SO THAT GIVES ME A MOMENT TO PAUSE. ARE YOU THE WORST SWIMMER ON THE TEAM AND YOU HAVE TO WEAR A FLOATIE? OR IS THAT SENIOR ASSASSIN? YES. OKAY.

OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THAT. THE SWIMMER WHO'S AFRAID OF THE WATER.

BUT NO. SO GOT TO ATTEND BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT.

ALWAYS REALLY ENJOY GOING TO THOSE AND MEETING THE TEACHERS AND MEETING THE PARENTS. ONE INTERESTING ONE, I WAS IN MR. TANAKA'S CLASS. AND ONE OF THE PARENTS HAD BEEN MR. TANAKA'S CLASSMATE AT CORONADO HIGH SCHOOL. SO THAT WAS PRETTY WILD. SPRING SPORTS HAVE KICKED OFF, AND I WENT TO THE COSA PRODUCTION OF CLUE THE OPENING NIGHT. THAT WAS, I THINK I SAW YOU THERE, RIGHT? YES. I THINK YOU'RE IN EVERY CLUB AND EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON. ARE YOU THE CAPTAIN OF THE BASKETBALL TEAM? PROBABLY. SO THAT WAS...

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THE CELL PHONE, I WENT TO A COUPLE OF FORUMS ON CELL PHONES. I WENT TO ONE WITH STUDENTS, SO THERE WERE ROUGHLY, I THINK ALL OF YOU WERE THERE, ROUGHLY PRINCIPAL MOLINA AND SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER, 20 STUDENTS, AND AT LUNCHTIME, NONE HAD THEIR CELL PHONES OUT.

THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD. AND THEN EVERYONE WAS VERY WELL SPOKEN AND WAS AGAINST RESTRICTING CELL PHONES. SO I PULLED ONE STUDENT ASIDE. I'M LIKE, BOY, THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL BUNCH OF 20 STUDENTS HERE. THEY'RE NOT LIKE MY SON. AND SO I PULLED ONE ASIDE. I SAID, CHRISTOPHER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING NEXT YEAR? HE SAYS, I'M GOING TO STANFORD. I'M LIKE, OK, THIS IS THE SUPERSTAR 20 HERE THAT WE'RE TALKING TO. AND THEN I WENT TO THE PARENT FORUM, AND IT WAS THE OPPOSITE, WHERE ALL THE PARENTS WERE AGAINST CELL PHONES. THEY WERE SAYING, LET'S GET RID OF THEM ON CAMPUS. THE ONLY PEOPLE WE REALLY HAVEN'T HEARD FROM, SO WE'VE HEARD FROM STUDENTS, WE'VE HEARD FROM PARENTS, WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM STAFF OR TEACHERS OR ADMINISTRATION. SO THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HEAR THEIR TAKE. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I WILL KEEP THIS SHORT. I ATTENDED THE COLLEGE AND CAREER DAY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH WAS MY FIRST TIME DOING THAT.

THAT WAS REALLY INTERESTING.

I'M WORKING WITH A COUPLE OF... THE GROUPS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL TO HELP THEM COORDINATE A WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH ACTIVITIES, SO THAT SHOULD BE A LOT OF FUN.

I DID ATTEND THE PARENT MEETING ON CELL PHONE USE AS WELL, REALLY GOOD. INFORMATION THERE.

I WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND THE STUDENT ONE, BUT I'M GLAD THE STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO COME AND TALK TONIGHT ABOUT THAT. I'M SURE THERE WILL BE A ROBUST DISCUSSION NEXT MONTH,

[02:00:01]

AFTER WE TAKE CARE OF ONE, LOOK AT ANOTHER.

BUT I KNOW SOME PARENTS WERE, ARE A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF SCREEN TIME. FOR USE IN THE CLASSROOM. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. SUPERINTENDENT MUELLER. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT KAVANAUGH. A LOT OF ACTIVITIES OVER THE PAST MONTH HAVE ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED. THE COLLEGE AND CAREER DAY, THE CLU PERFORMANCE WAS OUTSTANDING.

THE PARENT FORUM HAD OPPORTUNITIES TO WATCH SOCCER, BASKETBALL, WATER POLO OVER THE LAST MONTH. I ALSO, A FEW THINGS THAT WEREN'T MENTIONED, WE DID HAVE SOME STUDENTS SPEAK THIS EVENING IN PUBLIC COMMENT WHO ARE PART OF THE SSAC. I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TIME THAT THEY GIVE UP ON THEIR OWN TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT FORUM, BUT ALSO OTHER STUDENTS WHO ARE ENGAGED IN OTHER TYPES OF EXPERIENCES WHERE THEIR VOICE IS AMPLIFIED THROUGH. TEACHERS THROUGH ADMINISTRATION. IT REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THERE. I HAD A CULTURE CLUB MEETING, AND WE DID HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT CELL PHONES, BUT WE HAVE NOT FORMALLY POLLED STAFF, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT SUGGESTION, TRUSTEE SANDY. I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A GROUP OF EDUCATORS FROM CUSD. I WAS FORTUNATE TO ATTEND A TOUR OF LINDSAY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. UP IN THE FRESNO VALLEY, THEY HAVE A PROGRAM VERY SIMILAR TO THE PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE. WE SENT UP TEACHERS, SOME ADMINISTRATORS, TO TOUR THEIR PROGRAM, BUT REALLY TO LEARN ABOUT SYSTEM CHANGE AND HOW THEY MOVED TOWARDS FULL IMPLEMENTATION.

OF THEIR PORTRAIT, IF YOU WILL. GREAT EXPERIENCE, GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO JUST HAVE OPEN AND HONEST CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR STAFF.

ABOUT THE PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE, THE PORTRAIT OF A CITIZEN, PORTRAIT OF ADULT, AND I KNOW EVERYONE CAME BACK WITH A LOT OF GREAT IDEAS. I'LL CONCLUDE MY COMMENTS THERE, BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S EFFORTS IN MAKING THIS DISTRICT AS SPECIAL AS IT IS. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS EVENING AS WELL.

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

TRUSTEES, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO SEE ADDRESSED COMING UP? NOTHING? NOTHING. JUST A NO.

GOING THROUGH THE CONSENT CALENDAR AND LOOKING AT PURCHASE ORDERS AND WARRANTS AND WHERE ALL THE MONEY GOES. I NOTICED THAT WE HAVE OUTSIDE LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS, WHETHER IT'S 7TH GRADE, MEDIEVAL TIMES, RIGHT? 7TH GRADE MEDIEVAL TIMES, 5TH GRADE BIZ TOWN, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IN LOOKING FORWARD AND IN THINKING ABOUT TRANSPORTATION COSTS, IS THERE A WAY TO LOOK AT? THESE FIELD TRIPS OR OUTSIDE EXPERIENCES THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS? THAT WE DO EVERY SINGLE YEAR, FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 12TH GRADE? TO LOOK AT NOT NECESSARILY VERTICALLY ALIGNING THEM, BUT WHAT CONTENT AREAS THEY TOUCH, AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES AT ALL THE GRADE LEVELS. YES.

IS THAT HARD? SO WHAT I THINK I... I THINK IT WAS IN LOOKING AT PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE, TOO, AND COMBINING THAT. SO I THINK WHAT I HEARD... IS KIND OF A GRADE LEVEL BREAKDOWN OF EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM THAT ARE GRADE SPECIFIC. AND THEN MAYBE HOW THOSE TIE INTO GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS AND OR EXPERIENCES PROVIDED ON CAMPUS. AND THEN, WHERE POSSIBLE,

[02:05:01]

[9.3 Superintendent's Comments]

UNFORTUNATELY, SOME OF THE INFORMATION FROM FACILITRON WASN'T SENT IN TIME TO MAKE IT INTO THIS AGENDA.

THAT WILL BE PRESENTED AT OUR MARCH REGULAR BOARD MEETING

[10.2 Upcoming Meetings]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. 10.2, OUR UPCOMING MEETINGS ARE LISTED.

NOTE THAT THE ONE, THE MEETING IN MARCH, IS NOT THE THIRD THURSDAY. IT IS THE SECOND THURSDAY, CORRECT? MARCH 12TH.

ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE JUNE 11TH AND 18TH ONE. SO FOR THE 18TH ONE, IS THAT WHEN THE NEW STUDENT BOARD

[11. CLOSED SESSION]
