Oh, there is.

23
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,440
Oh, wow, I didn't know that.

24
00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:01,740
I apologize, I'm sorry.

25
00:02:01,740 --> 00:02:10,420

26
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,420
And cabinet members a month ago a delegation of AEA leaders were present at the board meeting to

27
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:37,000
encourage you to have a better understanding of our members professional responsibilities and the

28
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,740
work that they do that goes above and beyond. You were presented with signed petitions from all

29
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:45,660
school sites and ask to value our educators.

30
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,820
I would like to thank the Board for listening and

31
00:02:49,820 --> 00:02:53,860
valuing our educators and adjusting your original budget

32
00:02:53,860 --> 00:02:56,840
to make compensation a higher priority.

33
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:00,900
I would like to acknowledge the time and effort

34
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:03,520
and dedication of the district, the association,

35
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:07,800
and insurance committee leaders to do the research and analysis

36
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:11,340
that allowed us to get to an agreement early on

37
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:20,620
negotiations to move into a larger health benefits purchasing pool to stabilize future health

38
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:28,380
care cost increases thank you thank you to the board and to the superintendent for

39
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:33,840
routinely agenda agenda agenda I can't even say that I think you know what I'm trying

40
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,680
to say close session discussions about bargaining to provide the district's bargaining team

41
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,920
with updated parameters that allowed negotiations to progress in a timely manner.

42
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,380
I appreciate the collaboration and the continuous focus of the district on getting to a fair settlement.

43
00:03:54,660 --> 00:04:03,700
All of the above-mentioned items send a message to our unit members that educators are valued and appreciated in the Anaheim Elementary School District.

44
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:13,300
So, seriously, I want to thank you without all of us working together, we wouldn't have gotten to where we did for a settlement.

45
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:14,660
So, thank you.

46
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:18,060
Okay.

47
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:18,900
Thank you, Faith.

48
00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:20,360
That was nice to hear.

49
00:04:20,780 --> 00:04:22,220
Anybody else?

50
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:24,240
That you're my missing anybody?

51
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,700
Oh, just okay.

52
00:04:27,740 --> 00:04:28,040
Okay.

53
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:29,620
So, no other speakers then?

54
00:04:30,140 --> 00:04:30,680
That was it.

55
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,700
Thank you.

56
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:37,460
So now we are going to move to our adjournment to closed sessions. I need a motion.

57
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:39,820
I'm with the adjourn.

58
00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:40,540
Second.

59
00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:45,310
No discussion at all in favor.

60
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:46,190
All right.

61
00:04:46,370 --> 00:04:48,850
I hear that as unanimous closed session.

62
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Thank you.

63
01:25:45,420 --> 01:25:47,560
Newings of individuals, no?

64
01:25:54,360 --> 01:26:06,180
Oh, hey there you! You probably already noticed, but yes, I'm holding a tablet. You probably noticed because tablets are a regular part of school for us here at AESD.

65
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:15,580
And since you've been staring at this tablet the whole time, after you didn't even see the dinosaur with a cowboy hat walking right behind me.

66
01:26:17,900 --> 01:26:25,680
Okay, so maybe there's no dinosaur with the cowboy hat here, although I've heard rumors.

67
01:26:27,860 --> 01:26:35,240
Funny how sometimes we get so used to the things we see every day that we miss some of the other incredible things

68
01:26:35,700 --> 01:26:37,960
or people writing front of us.

69
01:26:39,220 --> 01:26:45,500
Like, have you ever thought about who sets up all of the exciting stuff we learn about on our tablets?

70
01:26:45,500 --> 01:26:48,560
And how do they even do that?

71
01:26:49,820 --> 01:26:51,000
No, really.

72
01:26:51,440 --> 01:26:52,780
How do they do that?

73
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:59,480
However, they do it, and whoever it is has one amazing job.

74
01:27:02,670 --> 01:27:08,750
Samantha, and I'm on a mission to learn about all of the jobs here at Anniversary Elementary School District.

75
01:27:09,730 --> 01:27:11,730
And know how important our teachers are.

76
01:27:12,410 --> 01:27:14,330
But what about all of the other jobs?

77
01:27:14,330 --> 01:27:20,870
My janitors, our partners, the adults to make our lunches every day, running all of these

78
01:27:20,870 --> 01:27:27,210
incredible schools here at AESD takes a ton of hard work from mendous passion and a whole

79
01:27:27,210 --> 01:27:29,030
lot of amazing jobs.

80
01:27:29,930 --> 01:27:36,410
Today, I'm at Digital Education Services, learning all about our information system specialists.

81
01:27:36,410 --> 01:27:39,610
What? There's one now!

82
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:51,940
My name is David Yofondo, and I have an amazing job.

83
01:27:58,630 --> 01:27:59,370
Me, you David?

84
01:28:00,850 --> 01:28:03,390
Well, I've never been in this room before.

85
01:28:04,190 --> 01:28:06,350
So, where exactly are we?

86
01:28:06,710 --> 01:28:09,390
What is digital education services?

87
01:28:10,350 --> 01:28:13,090
Or D-E-S as you cool kids call it?

88
01:28:13,590 --> 01:28:20,010
So D-S is where is the department where most of the technology comes from?

89
01:28:20,010 --> 01:28:29,670
When it comes down to the tablets that you use in school to be online websites that you're using like G&S to not

90
01:28:31,130 --> 01:28:34,410
It's where all the magic happens to it. I love GG

91
01:28:35,570 --> 01:28:41,970
So what exactly is your job title? Are you presidents of digital education services?

92
01:28:42,350 --> 01:28:45,230
So my job title is information system specialist.

93
01:28:49,230 --> 01:28:49,990
I

mobile device management, active directory portal, there's a lot of things that I do.

95
01:28:55,330 --> 01:29:00,690
Right! Right! So, like, I know what all of that means and everything.

96
01:29:01,510 --> 01:29:06,030
But could you break it down and explain it a bit to everyone else?

97
01:29:06,410 --> 01:29:12,190
My job is to make sure that the technology that touches the students' hands, as well as our staffs hands.

98
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:20,120

Second.

145

All in favor?

I hear that is unanimous.

148
01:33:27,940 --> 01:33:28,740
Excuse me.

149
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:31,300
The special order of business, there is none.

Our parent leadership group updates.

152
01:33:37,220 --> 01:33:42,420
I believe we have one group update to be provided by PLI representatives.

153
01:33:42,420 --> 01:33:47,100
is Adriana Pluma and Rosacella Hescador.

154
01:33:47,580 --> 01:33:49,300
I hope I sent those correct.

155
01:33:57,660 --> 01:33:57,960
Good evening.

156
01:33:59,060 --> 01:34:00,420
My name is Adriana Pluma,

157
01:34:00,660 --> 01:34:06,040
and I am a fourth, actually five years PLI parent from Edison.

158
01:34:07,100 --> 01:34:11,560
So far, PLI has had three meetings with leadership

159
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:15,400
training, from Shirley Diaz,

160
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,840
where we learned about qualities of a good leader

161
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:24,320
an important role as team members to work with other site PLI, team and other parent volunteers.

162
01:34:25,480 --> 01:34:31,420
Laura Houston provided deep in understanding of culture, training, and other PLI meeting yesterday,

163
01:34:31,900 --> 01:34:38,580
which is really nice. PLI has been supporting at school sites with facilitation of 10

164
01:34:38,580 --> 01:34:45,380
education essentials and school and district parent events. We took part of the Anahai

165
01:34:45,380 --> 01:34:52,620
At Himes Halloween Parade, and Dia de los Muertos, which both were full and rich

166
01:34:52,620 --> 01:34:56,280
of cultural for all of Latino community.

167
01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,340
Thank you so much for allowing us to do that too.

168
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:06,740
We also promote district pair and opportunities and help recruit parents to attend this year's

169
01:35:06,740 --> 01:35:14,200
insight, the outdoor parent trip to Santiago Ops, where we had parent representation from all

170
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:21,520
of our school site grades from TK to sixth grade. That was also an amazing, amazing trip.

171
01:35:21,900 --> 01:35:26,560
I was part of it and it was my first time. I didn't even know existed, though. Now, I have

172
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:33,360
of the place to take my daughter. I have also been part of the PLI cohort of 20 PLI

173
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:39,680
parent leaders that attended a five week training with Mrs. Jaceniana Varro to support her

174
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:46,680
with launching intro sessions to Quentos familiares at school sites. Quentos familiares

175
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:53,400
it's a family literacy program with bilingual books that establish a reading routine at home with

176
01:35:53,400 --> 01:36:00,460
that reflect the Latino culture. Those books are amazing too. I read up to my daughter and she

177
01:36:00,460 --> 01:36:07,120
loved every single one of them. So I can't wait to, you know, be with a parent and go over with them.

178
01:36:07,440 --> 01:36:14,420
We invite you to join us as we lounge. This series at Edison on November 30 at 1 o'clock PM.

179
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:23,340
We also invite you to the Tuesday trainer of trainers training at Key on January 22nd and 23rd.

180
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:32,540
where our new PLI parents will get training to help facilitate the six-week parent team partner workshops at their school sites.

181
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:34,580
Thank you.

182
01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:43,340
Hi, good evening. My name is Jose Salapis Calone and I am a seventh year PLI parent.

183
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:48,160
From Edison and I am also part of the LCAP parent representative.

184
01:36:48,160 --> 01:37:02,440
And at our last LCAP meeting, we discussed the importance of student attendance and looked at district and school data on how we can help and improve the student attendance.

185
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:17,860
We looked at data there and afterwards we met after the LCAP we met with more PLI parents and see how we could support the district and improving attendance by leading

186
01:37:17,860 --> 01:37:25,000
activity at our PLI team met yesterday and we came with an engagement with

187
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:29,080
PLI parents with an interactive activity where we saw the importance of being

188
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:34,560
present and not miss out. So what we did was we first started with the

189
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:39,760
dance and it was like a two step dance and then we had a break parents went out

190
01:37:40,020 --> 01:37:43,820
and the parents that stayed out we closed the doors right and the parents that

191
01:37:43,820 --> 01:37:51,000
in we talked them the third step and when break was over and the parents that stayed outside came

192
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:58,240
back in they were lost right because they didn't know that third step which to us was trying to

193
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:06,180
teach them the importance of not having the kids mid school because they missed one important step

194
01:38:06,180 --> 01:38:07,400
into that education.

195
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:17,760
We also showed them the importance of missing two days a month is already a lot.

196
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:23,280
Two days a month might not mean a lot to parents, but it's a lot to the education

197
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:27,780
of our students, because they can miss so much in two days.

198
01:38:28,740 --> 01:38:34,600
Not counting our six days, so to us, PLI parents and our team, it was very important to

199
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:40,700
our parents, the importance of not missing school. We guided each PLI team from our school

200
01:38:40,700 --> 01:38:45,980
sets to support informing other parents and the importance of attendance. And we think of ways

201
01:38:45,980 --> 01:38:50,880
that can increase awareness and support the site with the campaigns. So PLI will start a

202
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:57,000
campaign at their school site and see how we can help our school sites with the attendance for

203
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,620
for a school. Thank you.

204
01:39:07,900 --> 01:39:13,560
Thank you. There are no association updates this evening. So we'll

205
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:19,260
move into our district news and updates with Belinda Guardio, our communications coordinator

206
01:39:19,260 --> 01:39:22,780
and show present the district news and updates for this evening.

207
01:39:26,060 --> 01:39:28,420
Good evening everyone. Good evening,

208
01:39:28,740 --> 01:39:34,340
board members. Dr. Downing Cabinet and community. My name is Belinda Guardio and it's a pleasure

209
01:39:34,340 --> 01:39:38,420
for me to share the news and updates for the past month.

210
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:42,940
So during the week of October 9th,

211
01:39:43,100 --> 01:39:45,520
as many of you know, it was career week

212
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:49,180
and AESD held a variety of activities

213
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,280
to help encourage kids and help them

214
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:53,540
think about their futures.

215
01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:56,940
During this week, students wore college shirts.

216
01:39:57,380 --> 01:39:59,820
They dressed up in their future career attire.

217
01:40:00,140 --> 01:40:11,500
And they received exposure from so many different professions. So it was really an amazing week and an incredible opportunity for AESD students.

218
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:26,440
On October 12th, the Kemper Foundation visited Mrs. Medina's kindergarten, D.L.I. class, and this was at Loweira Elementary School, and they provided an amazing generous grant to them.

219
01:40:26,440 --> 01:40:33,080
and all of their kindergarten students there received backpacks, supplies, and some nice treats.

220
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:41,620
So we want to thank the Kemper Foundation for their support of dual-language programs in schools.

221
01:40:43,540 --> 01:40:52,020
On October 14, Council Member Leone and Park Commissioner hosted a cleanup and beautiful

222
01:40:52,020 --> 01:40:59,380
day at Starter Park and we had a lot of our community members participate so it was a

223
01:40:59,380 --> 01:41:06,160
really great opportunity to not only for the environment for the well-being of our

224
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:15,580
community as a whole and then on October 19 AST successfully conducted the great

225
01:41:15,580 --> 01:41:18,900
shakeout event across all of our schools.

226
01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:26,880
This annual event serves as a platform for educating students and school communities about earthquake safety.

227
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:33,760
So it's very important for students to practice these measures and staff as well,

228
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:43,440
just to be prepared just in case in overall it builds confidence for us to know how to prepare for any kind of emergency.

229
01:41:43,440 --> 01:41:53,140
And then on October 20th, AESD held hosted the event for Carlos Leone's Trunker Treat.

230
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:58,960
It was kind of a last-minute request, but our online academy as well as our Anahempsix

231
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:06,000
Seats program, were able to help them and host the Trunker Treat and we had a variety of

232
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:09,940
students and community members come and support this wonderful event.

233
01:42:09,940 --> 01:42:21,580
And then October 23rd through the 31st was Red Ribbon Week and students participated in a variety of activities on a daily basis.

234
01:42:22,060 --> 01:42:28,180
We had a lot of support from our PTAs, our moms and our PLI parents as well.

235
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:34,560
And this was an important initiative because it raises awareness about the dangers of drug and alcohol.

236
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:44,720
So students were able to learn about how to lead a drug free and responsible life so that's a very important week for us.

237
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:53,140
And then October 25th we had a resource fair and festival at Gower.

238
01:42:53,740 --> 01:43:03,300
And this was a great event that many community members supported from the Anaheim fire to Anaheim utilities

239
01:43:03,300 --> 01:43:07,220
and as well as council member Jose Diaz.

240
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:11,200
So the event brought together a wide variety of activities

241
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,340
and resources to our community.

242
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:19,380
Our families received just so many different resources

243
01:43:19,380 --> 01:43:20,980
including free haircuts.

244
01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:23,620
There's a little boy at the bottom that I took as picture.

245
01:43:23,780 --> 01:43:25,500
It was his first haircut ever.

246
01:43:26,020 --> 01:43:28,140
And he was one year old and as mom said,

247
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:30,400
hey, I'm going to take advantage of this.

248
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,920
So it was a great opportunity and a great time for all.

249
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:41,040
And you did hear previously, we did host a parent field trip, along with the collaboration

250
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:46,880
of inside the outdoors for our families, and we had nearly 60 parents attend.

251
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:53,640
It was, you know, just a great way to deepen the understanding of what the field trips are

252
01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:58,080
like for AESD students, and it was a great opportunity for our families, and you could see

253
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:02,600
We had parents, they even took the bus there, and when they got there, they were greeted

254
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:09,100
by Dr. Downing and our staff, and it was just a great morning and opportunity for all.

255
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:14,600
Okay, and then on October 28th, we had our Anaheim parade.

256
01:44:15,100 --> 01:44:17,460
This was a hundredth year for the City of Anaheim.

257
01:44:17,860 --> 01:44:22,020
We had all of our board members, all of our cabinet members.

258
01:44:22,740 --> 01:44:27,940
I mean, a total of 700 AESD community members attend.

259
01:44:27,940 --> 01:44:33,580
And out of them, there was 200 student band members and you'll see them in the picture right there.

260
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:42,040
It was just a really great community event and we had just a great representation this year.

261
01:44:42,260 --> 01:44:44,940
I was excited to be part of that one as well.

262
01:44:45,900 --> 01:44:50,840
Okay, November 1st is, you know, we didn't have school for the kids that meant a free day after Halloween.

263
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:59,000
And for us, it meant a really just a great way to get together as a team.

264
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:10,240
You know, participate in different activities during the day with our teams, whether it was goal setting or reading a book together or just team building activities.

265
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:22,100
So, you know, at ASD, we believe that when we invest in the growth of our staff, we ultimately invest in the success and well-being of our students. So this was a really important day for us.

266
01:45:22,100 --> 01:45:28,820
On November 3rd, we had AESD Mariatchi students perform at UCI.

267
01:45:29,340 --> 01:45:31,960
It was really an incredible event.

268
01:45:33,020 --> 01:45:35,740
We were invited by the Drake Foundation,

269
01:45:36,260 --> 01:45:40,560
and we are very thankful to Mr. Kaffrey, Mr. Villanoiva,

270
01:45:40,700 --> 01:45:44,400
and Mr. Anderson for preparing and teaching our students,

271
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:49,660
and for their continued support and letting us showcase these wonderful students.

272
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:56,700
And then last but not least, last Friday we had day of the day or the year of the Marito

273
01:45:56,700 --> 01:46:01,700
Savannah pierced them apart and we had so many parents put together these beautiful

274
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:09,260
altars, part of the PTA, part of the PLI, and I was able to go and attend and I just saw

275
01:46:09,260 --> 01:46:13,320
so many different schools represented there and it was just so much hard work to create

276
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:15,860
these beautiful alters and celebration

277
01:46:15,860 --> 01:46:18,300
of this church tradition.

278
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:21,140
So thank you to the Anahem Community Services

279
01:46:21,140 --> 01:46:23,620
for allowing us to be part of this event.

280
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:27,600
And then our Anahem succeeds program by Lyphor Codico

281
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:28,620
also performed.

282
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:32,260
So it was a great event for all.

283
01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:34,640
And then last but not least, Mr. Lopez.

284
01:46:34,980 --> 01:46:36,900
We have a slide there for you.

285
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:40,500
And everyone, this is the list of some of our upcoming events.

286
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:42,600
Of course, we're going to add to those,

287
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:49,080
So for now, this is what we have on our calendar, and we invite you to join us.

288
01:46:49,540 --> 01:46:51,360
And this concludes my presentation.

289
01:46:51,580 --> 01:46:52,780
Does anybody have any questions?

290
01:46:57,170 --> 01:46:58,110
Thank you very much.

291
01:46:59,230 --> 01:47:01,050
Lots of good stuff going on.

292
01:47:01,650 --> 01:47:04,770
And we sure appreciate you, where we're so glad you're here.

293
01:47:06,780 --> 01:47:08,920
Okay, let's see.

294
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:15,260
Well, the next portion is, we're going into our public speakers, and I, our public speaking

295
01:47:15,260 --> 01:47:20,880
portion and I do have some. You have three minutes and Mr.

296
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:25,960
Rellis will hold up the yellow card when it's 30 seconds, right? 30 seconds and then

297
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:33,480
when you see the red, your time has finished. So I'd like to first call up, is it Damian,

298
01:47:33,540 --> 01:47:40,760
Garcia, Monroe? Please, sir, come up to the microphone and welcome.

299
01:47:41,620 --> 01:47:42,180
So

300
01:47:46,370 --> 01:47:49,490
I want to speak first, but you can stay next to me.

301
01:47:52,750 --> 01:47:58,170
Hello, board members, President board members, Bill Beck.

302
01:47:59,130 --> 01:48:01,950
So bring tendons and staff and guests.

303
01:48:02,290 --> 01:48:03,570
My name is Demi and Garcia Monroe.

304
01:48:04,030 --> 01:48:05,430
I'm here with a parent.

305
01:48:05,770 --> 01:48:08,650
I wanted to introduce myself first though.

306
01:48:08,650 --> 01:48:19,210
Store behind me, 12 year Army veteran, always had a great respect for the rights of our citizens

307
01:48:19,210 --> 01:48:27,970
in our country, when I got out in the community, Dr. McCellas knows, you know, I've been

308
01:48:27,970 --> 01:48:33,030
very active in the community, I founded Lulaq in Garden Grove, which is one of the most

309
01:48:33,030 --> 01:48:36,270
active chapters of West of the Mississippi.

310
01:48:36,910 --> 01:48:42,790
So I've been in civil rights for a long time until at issues with my school district.

311
01:48:42,950 --> 01:48:46,970
I'm not this one, Garden Grove, and at first I was an angry parent.

312
01:48:47,310 --> 01:48:48,470
I was really frustrated.

313
01:48:48,690 --> 01:48:57,870
I couldn't believe how my child's rights could be, you know, afforded, and from that

314
01:48:57,870 --> 01:49:06,150
I became an angry advocate, but with time I realized, you know, I did observations, I did

315
01:49:06,150 --> 01:49:11,610
people and I realized the people in schools for the most part I mean there's

316
01:49:11,610 --> 01:49:14,290
going to be apples everywhere I'm also a nurse and I can tell you there's bad

317
01:49:14,290 --> 01:49:18,850
nurses you know there's bad apples everywhere but for the most part you're

318
01:49:18,850 --> 01:49:22,970
teachers your teacher aids they're a festival they're pretty amazing people you

319
01:49:22,970 --> 01:49:27,350
know people are trying to do incredible things I know some of your board members

320
01:49:28,410 --> 01:49:34,590
amazing people and so we're just here teaching my parent how to advocate for

321
01:49:34,590 --> 01:49:40,550
myself. I'm literally just trying to, you know, get myself out of the job. So that parents

322
01:49:40,550 --> 01:49:46,490
don't need us, but my job is really, you know, I work with a district's now in a much

323
01:49:46,490 --> 01:49:51,490
different widening column and self-enabiquant anymore. I'm a coach. I coach parents to help

324
01:49:51,490 --> 01:49:59,970
bridge the gaps. And I'm just here to remind you that while some attorneys and some

325
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:15,140
That you might have to go in the rural low so that you can barter down to a reasonable settlement for that student, right? Parents, they don't know that game, you know, parents, they just want what their child needs.

326
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:24,000
That's all they care about. Parents aren't there for playing games and so forth and so you have some awesome leadership and I'm sure they pick some great superintendents.

327
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:33,340
So, please, I ask you to let people know that, hey, it's okay to take care of the students that belong to you, the parents of your district.

328
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:36,260
Thank you so much, and pleasure talking with you.

329
01:50:40,370 --> 01:50:46,450
Thank you, and then my next, in my saying, this correctly, constantly.

330
01:50:47,850 --> 01:50:50,870
Thia, is that you, ma'am? Okay.

331
01:50:50,870 --> 01:50:52,910
Your, your own?

332
01:51:00,340 --> 01:51:01,360
Dear Anna, hi.

333
01:51:06,700 --> 01:51:10,680
Dear Anna, I am elementary district board member, Superintendent.

334
01:51:11,180 --> 01:51:14,640
I am a parent of my child with special needs.

335
01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:18,840
I will come to understand the word through my son's eye.

336
01:51:21,300 --> 01:51:25,440
Me two years ago, I believe he could only use one button.

337
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:31,760
Today, he used a mental, a mental, a mental, an alternative to communicate this and the way

338
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:35,580
with many but tend to expect he's one and need.

339
01:51:36,020 --> 01:51:41,120
He grow, show, incredible potential for why he will

340
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:43,980
willing to give him support and need.

341
01:51:44,340 --> 01:51:45,800
The word,

342
01:51:46,620 --> 01:51:49,660
China Lee, to support he, you need need.

343
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:55,440
And I know your teacher and teacher eight and therapy due to

344
01:51:55,440 --> 01:51:58,220
when my son began a 10-school everyone

345
01:51:58,220 --> 01:52:04,860
collaborate closely with me on his individualized education program IEP.

346
01:52:06,100 --> 01:52:08,960
I individualized trust in two school systems.

347
01:52:09,260 --> 01:52:13,100
However, one I signed the document at the previous school district.

348
01:52:13,380 --> 01:52:16,820
I would rely to my son's services.

349
01:52:18,940 --> 01:52:19,660
It didn't realize.

350
01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:22,500
It didn't realize.

351
01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:26,160
My son's services were being reduced.

352
01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:26,600
uses.

353
01:52:30,610 --> 01:52:37,690
The action, this appointed me, and string the trust of my son, IEP team, and

354
01:52:37,690 --> 01:52:43,750
only after I obtained an educational advocate was served restored.

355
01:52:43,750 --> 01:52:49,130
Permanent one, unusual respect and trust at IEP.

356
01:52:49,790 --> 01:53:05,330
We must work on appropriately, and business, educational goal, and our area and need.

357
01:53:06,030 --> 01:53:10,970
And we should then need, I would get our attending to get it.

358
01:53:10,970 --> 01:53:20,970
This year at Anaheim Elementary 3 School District and my son, IEP, it was recommended to redo occupation

359
01:53:20,970 --> 01:53:27,010
of therapy and remove physical therapy with all the evidence.

360
01:53:27,230 --> 01:53:31,210
Evident of my son, progress in PT or OT.

361
01:53:31,210 --> 01:53:43,130
in process or area and when into a therapy is then not likely to recommend to reduce

362
01:53:43,130 --> 01:53:54,270
in service. In recommendation, reduce service must become a progress of the top down

363
01:53:54,270 --> 01:54:04,110
low special education costs. The teacher and the database need to know it is okay to provide reasonable and

364
01:54:06,010 --> 01:54:08,150
adequate support advice.

365
01:54:11,570 --> 01:54:15,630
To meet the need of the child with an IEP, this message must be

366
01:54:15,630 --> 01:54:21,950
come from you and the board and the support intent and the special education director. Thank you for

367
01:54:21,950 --> 01:54:24,150
to attend this matter.

368
01:54:25,730 --> 01:54:26,070
Thank you.

369
01:54:26,150 --> 01:54:27,350
Thank you very much.

370
01:54:31,380 --> 01:54:31,680
All right.

371
01:54:32,020 --> 01:54:36,120
Our next person is Kathy Hart.

372
01:54:36,820 --> 01:54:37,680
Kathleen Hart.

373
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:56,000
Good evening.

374
01:54:56,700 --> 01:54:59,980
I'm a retired LMA for Ponderosa, one of the largest schools.

375
01:55:04,620 --> 01:55:16,440
On Wednesday, October 18, the LMAs had a meeting where they requested a question and an answer period to go over some issues with the change in their funding and the new book order of 2000 books.

376
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:24,280
The questions revolved around what they had been told about how their funding of the position had changed and the issues with the book order.

377
01:55:25,280 --> 01:55:35,040
They and CSEA Chapter 54 had been previously assured that the budget change would not affect their workload and that this was just a change in funding.

378
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:43,480
The issues with the ordering of the books was more complicated and revolved around how the ordering was assigned and the companies that were used for this order.

379
01:55:43,860 --> 01:55:46,040
Other LMAs will speak about these issues.

380
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:53,440
The LMAs thought they were meeting with the administrator and they would be given time to ask questions, instead they were ambushed.

381
01:55:54,180 --> 01:56:03,840
At least that was the way they felt when they were greeted by not only the administrator but the director of classified HR and the superintendent of the district.

382
01:56:04,540 --> 01:56:12,280
The superintendent proceeded to tell them that they were fortunate to have a full-time position as most districts only have part-time librarians,

383
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:18,480
and that the change in funding meant they would need to be available to assist with the ELOP duties.

384
01:56:18,980 --> 01:56:22,450
He further stated most districts were looking at ways to avoid layoffs.

385
01:56:23,300 --> 01:56:27,520
This was why they were offering the retirement golden handshake

386
01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:31,680
and that the district is fighting hard to keep the LMA position.

387
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:36,900
However, the LMA did not feel valued, they felt their jobs were threatened.

388
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:38,900
I was appalled.

389
01:56:38,900 --> 01:56:44,780
I have always felt that the district had no idea what LMAs do, but I thought they understood

390
01:56:44,780 --> 01:56:50,140
we perform an invaluable service to our students and the reading program.

391
01:56:50,780 --> 01:56:57,680
LMAs are the backbone of a sound reading program and put books into the hands of our children

392
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:00,000
every single day.

393
01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:10,820
Do you know how often I've had an administrator, observed by position, once, in almost 19 years, for two hours?

394
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:17,540
After about 90 minutes of me explaining what we do, her eyes glazed over and she excused herself, never to return.

395
01:57:18,260 --> 01:57:24,280
So the LEDs are here to explain what they do on a daily basis, and what happened to this special order of 2,000 books.

396
01:57:24,280 --> 01:57:28,260
the next librarian we'll talk about the work load. Thank you.

397
01:57:30,740 --> 01:57:33,680
Okay, so the next one up would be, well

398
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:37,840
These might not be oh, okay. It is is it Osmar?

399
01:57:38,740 --> 01:57:40,340
Osmar. Osmar? Yes, Osmar.

400
01:57:40,840 --> 01:57:45,860
Osmar. Osmar. Osmar. Osmar. Yes. Welcome. Thank you.

401
01:57:46,060 --> 01:57:51,360
Good evening everybody. Good evening board members who pretend it. When I started this one as much as my name as Osmar.

402
01:57:51,500 --> 01:57:56,300
Adios and I work at Betsy Ross and we have a student population of about 900 students now at

403
01:57:56,300 --> 01:58:02,380
school from an enrollment from anywhere from 431 to 885 students including kindergarten through

404
01:58:02,380 --> 01:58:10,160
six including STC preschool and TK we see just about every single student each week. Every child

405
01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:16,300
usually gets two books and that means we check out anywhere from 800 to 1,770 books a week.

406
01:58:16,940 --> 01:58:23,340
When a book is checked in we must separate them by type, easy, fiction, and nonfiction. Then we sort

407
01:58:23,340 --> 01:58:28,020
each book by author or duly decimal number and place them on the appropriate library shelf so

408
01:58:28,020 --> 01:58:29,540
the next student can find them.

409
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:35,660
This must be done every single day after every other class or so, otherwise we run out

410
01:58:35,660 --> 01:58:39,760
of room on the carts and run out of time to get the books back on the shelves.

411
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:46,140
When we were classified 20 years ago, we negotiated a maximum of 8 classes a day.

412
01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:49,720
8 classes of 25 students is 200 students a day.

413
01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:56,240
But, we also have opening our sessions that can see the same level of activity as a regular class.

414
01:58:56,900 --> 01:59:04,020
For first grade at a small school, that can mean two classes of 25 or 100 books, but a largest school can mean

415
01:59:04,020 --> 01:59:08,180
four to five classes of 25 and up to 200 books.

416
01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:15,580
And that is a total, that total is added to the regular workload that we have throughout the week.

417
01:59:15,580 --> 01:59:18,840
In addition to 150 to 250 books throughout the week.

418
01:59:19,460 --> 01:59:24,800
Furthermore, LMAs have repeatedly requested training and classroom management. My school has

419
01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:29,420
the largest special education population, but I have not received any training on how

420
01:59:29,420 --> 01:59:33,720
to effectively work with these classes or what type of books they require. We have asked

421
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:38,380
multiple times for specialized training with our SDC students, but none has been allotted.

422
01:59:39,300 --> 01:59:43,320
Request for more classroom management training have been ignored, making it difficult for us

423
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:47,380
to work effectively on large groups, especially those LMAs with no prior training.

424
01:59:47,380 --> 01:59:50,920
We must depend on teachers for assistance.

425
01:59:51,620 --> 01:59:56,520
Also, often, teachers treat the library as a break, which leaves us at a disadvantage.

426
01:59:57,400 --> 01:59:59,980
But even with teacher assistance, there is no...

427
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:06,720
Social assistance during Open AR. It's just us, or even when a class has a substitute. This makes us vulnerable to

428
02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:12,500
losing control for chaos to ensue in our libraries. At the beginning of each school year, student records must

429
02:00:12,500 --> 02:00:18,260
be imported into the Destiny program, a new class lists and library cards must be created. If a new student

430
02:00:18,260 --> 02:00:25,260
or teacher is hired, they must be added to the system. If a book is lost or damaged, it must be removed from

431
02:00:25,260 --> 02:00:29,600
library system. Our schedules must be created and teachers must choose their time slot.

432
02:00:29,980 --> 02:00:33,600
At the end of the school year, we must make sure each book is returned, repaired, or deleted,

433
02:00:33,900 --> 02:00:38,960
and if deleted, they must be disposed of in a specific matter. But we are also responsible for ordering

434
02:00:38,960 --> 02:00:43,220
new books, making sure the mark records are imported into the Destiny system. We also attach

435
02:00:43,220 --> 02:00:49,960
fine labels for AR accelerated reader. If the book company does not provide it, the AR Quiz Label must

436
02:00:49,960 --> 02:00:54,820
be printed and attached along with clear label protector covers to protect our labels.

437
02:00:55,260 --> 02:01:02,640
As you can tell, librarians are in charge of a narrative of tasks, however, these are only a few struggles with deal with every single day.

438
02:01:03,200 --> 02:01:07,160
My colleagues will take a closer look into some of the other challenges that we face as a group.

439
02:01:07,540 --> 02:01:08,080
Thank you.

440
02:01:11,140 --> 02:01:13,840
Up next, welcome Linda Sandoval.

441
02:01:14,420 --> 02:01:15,460
Thank you so much.

442
02:01:16,320 --> 02:01:22,260
Good evening, my name is Linda Sandoval. I work at Orange Grove School with 605 students.

443
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:30,920
Elimates are responsible for book displays, bulletin boards, library setup, reading stories and library organization.

444
02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:39,560
We're also responsible for reading incentives, reading of old or damaged materials, record keeping, and law-spook notifications.

445
02:01:40,500 --> 02:01:47,980
If the Elimates has a background in public libraries, then they at least understand and probably use the software similar to ours.

446
02:01:47,980 --> 02:01:54,040
But if they don't, they're expected to learn this very complicated system during one week of training.

447
02:01:54,880 --> 02:02:00,000
Currently, anyone with a high school diploma or some college classes can apply for the job.

448
02:02:01,540 --> 02:02:06,080
Reading a book to our students is both a joy and a strain on our voice.

449
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:12,540
Reading a loud is an art, and the average book takes about 15 minutes to read expressively.

450
02:02:12,540 --> 02:02:17,980
If you read expressively for more than three or four classes the day, you will strain your

451
02:02:17,980 --> 02:02:20,040
voice and could end up with Laren Chitis.

452
02:02:20,660 --> 02:02:25,620
Since there are only a limited number of substitutes, the library will be closed for however

453
02:02:25,620 --> 02:02:27,180
long the librarian is out.

454
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:31,200
This is one reason why we need to plan our schedules carefully.

455
02:02:32,160 --> 02:02:37,100
Upper grades are choosing chapter books, and this takes much more time to find a book to

456
02:02:37,100 --> 02:02:37,720
their liking.

457
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:44,940
Librarians like to encourage our students to read the first page of a chapter book to see if the story captures their interest.

458
02:02:45,660 --> 02:02:54,000
If a student doesn't spend the time to read the first page, then they're most likely to, as we in the business say, take a book for a walk.

459
02:02:54,740 --> 02:03:00,400
What they don't read, they can't take a quiz on and that defeats the purpose of AR and library visits.

460
02:03:01,860 --> 02:03:06,620
When new books are ordered, they must be researched online to see if they're a good fit for our students.

461
02:03:06,620 --> 02:03:16,580
They must be engaging, appropriate for our grade levels, include books for the DLI program and be included in the accelerated reader program.

462
02:03:17,160 --> 02:03:22,440
We have a limited budget and book prices keep rising so that limits how much we can buy.

463
02:03:22,740 --> 02:03:31,320
They must be ordered from companies that understand school libraries and be able to stand up to the abuse of being checked out every week.

464
02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:39,340
The company's must be able to send us the mark records that are required to input the books into our destiny data program.

465
02:03:40,320 --> 02:03:47,380
If there's a fire drill, special assembly, librarian absence, special meeting or after school program that uses the library,

466
02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:55,320
classes must be rescheduled or eliminated. Since most of administration doesn't consider the library in scheduling,

467
02:03:55,320 --> 02:03:59,120
most LMAs are not notified until the day of the meeting.

468
02:03:59,620 --> 02:04:05,620
This happens all the time, which makes it impossible for LMAs to plan ahead for changes to the schedule.

469
02:04:06,340 --> 02:04:14,520
This annoys the teachers and administrators, but how is the LMA supposed to plan when the library schedule is never considered?

470
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:20,340
The next librarian will talk about the special order of 2,000 books for each library.

471
02:04:20,740 --> 02:04:21,540
Thank you.

472
02:04:23,040 --> 02:04:27,660
And that next librarian should be Darlene Espinoza, correct?

473
02:04:28,360 --> 02:04:28,840
Correct.

474
02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:29,840
Thank you.

475
02:04:30,760 --> 02:04:31,340
Hey, good evening.

476
02:04:31,900 --> 02:04:37,900
My name is Darlene Espinoza, and I have worked at Lincoln School for 24 years with a current enrollment

477
02:04:37,900 --> 02:04:40,240
of 777 students.

478
02:04:41,420 --> 02:04:46,940
Most special assignments are negotiated to use them employees by seniority.

479
02:04:46,940 --> 02:04:56,180
Because the Norte was ignored, the senior librarians expertise and experience was not utilized and the extra work was assigned to other LMAs.

480
02:04:56,500 --> 02:04:58,940
The union was notified and demanded restitution.

481
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:10,780
Senior LMAs were then also paid for the time they should have received. Several issues evolved from this order, as the expertise, necessary for such a large order was ignored.

482
02:05:11,320 --> 02:05:27,400
Duplicates of books already on the shelves were ordered again and over 400 books do not have AR quizzes. The two companies ordered from unfamiliar with our ordering process and the requirements necessary for labeling were ignored or incomplete.

483
02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:30,840
The Mark Records for Destiny were also incomplete.

484
02:05:31,400 --> 02:05:33,040
This meant 2000 books needed.

485
02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:35,440
The data to be entered by hand,

486
02:05:35,700 --> 02:05:38,480
Labelene had to be reprinted and attached to the books.

487
02:05:39,060 --> 02:05:41,060
Some books needed new barcodes altogether.

488
02:05:41,900 --> 02:05:43,900
Librarians were offered three days to relabel

489
02:05:43,900 --> 02:05:45,420
and add the books to inventory.

490
02:05:46,140 --> 02:05:48,760
Each book takes five minutes to input the missing data,

491
02:05:49,100 --> 02:05:50,760
print and attach all three labels,

492
02:05:51,100 --> 02:05:53,360
and then cover the labels with a clear protective label.

493
02:05:53,360 --> 02:06:02,040
That means 2,000 books, times 5 minutes, each is 10,000 minutes, divided by 60 minutes, it's

494
02:06:02,040 --> 02:06:06,840
167 hours, and we were given 3 days.

495
02:06:07,900 --> 02:06:09,520
Elemates were told to order shelving.

496
02:06:09,820 --> 02:06:13,380
We were told to turn in our requests, but several of the Elemates were skipped.

497
02:06:13,900 --> 02:06:17,840
Or missed the email, and no one checked to see who hadn't turned in their request.

498
02:06:18,300 --> 02:06:22,520
But worse than that, no one assisted them in the specifications for shelving.

499
02:06:22,520 --> 02:06:28,460
LMAs were told to research their current shelving but given no time to weed or organized current shelving

500
02:06:28,460 --> 02:06:35,620
Determined if extra shelving was available. Shelling for library books is specific. The shelves must be a particular height and width

501
02:06:35,620 --> 02:06:43,880
To accommodate both then easy books thicker chapter books and nonfiction books. Each shelf can hold a between 50 to 70 books depending on the bookcase

502
02:06:44,420 --> 02:06:50,280
2000 books divided by 65 books a shelf is 30 shelves 30 shelves divided by

503
02:06:51,880 --> 02:06:58,720
30 shells by 4 shells per bookcase is 7.5 or 8 bookcases. Unfortunately most LMAs ordered

504
02:06:58,720 --> 02:07:04,360
4, a couple ordered 10. No one checked each of the libraries to see if we could accommodate

505
02:07:04,360 --> 02:07:09,960
an additional 8 bookcases. This means the LMA will need to figure out if the current library

506
02:07:09,960 --> 02:07:16,320
floor plan needs to be changed and if so, how the changes will be managed. This is a very simple

507
02:07:16,320 --> 02:07:19,140
snapshot of what the LMA is responsible for.

508
02:07:19,700 --> 02:07:21,840
It is appalling, disappointing, and heartbreaking

509
02:07:22,340 --> 02:07:24,020
that we are treated so unfairly,

510
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:26,540
and that administration lacks the understanding

511
02:07:26,540 --> 02:07:29,840
of how valuable we are to education of our children.

512
02:07:30,860 --> 02:07:32,540
Administration needs to do better.

513
02:07:38,730 --> 02:07:38,950
Thank you.

514
02:07:39,010 --> 02:07:41,470
Next up, I have Guadalupe, Rivera.

515
02:07:45,560 --> 02:07:48,400
Good evening, A-A-E-S-D school board members.

516
02:07:48,600 --> 02:07:51,720
My name is Guadalupe, I am the librarian at Asyn School

517
02:07:51,720 --> 02:07:53,960
with the student population of 829.

518
02:07:54,460 --> 02:08:00,880
As of November 8, including in-use circulations, I have circulated 18,484 books for the current

519
02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:01,340
school year.

520
02:08:01,960 --> 02:08:07,140
This means in addition to shelving these 18,484 books, they were cleaned and repaired

521
02:08:07,140 --> 02:08:08,720
and are processed for this school year.

522
02:08:09,820 --> 02:08:13,740
I began as a full-time-allimate 20 years ago at Franklin School under Administrator,

523
02:08:13,740 --> 02:08:14,540
Jan Grapp.

524
02:08:15,480 --> 02:08:18,460
When she retired, she said I was a principal's dream librarian.

525
02:08:18,900 --> 02:08:22,360
I worked diligently to the benefit of our students, staff, and community.

526
02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:25,420
However, not to the benefit of my own family.

527
02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:28,040
I spent countless days year after year,

528
02:08:28,180 --> 02:08:31,820
toilet and away, after hours at book repairs, book orders,

529
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:33,880
book requests from staff and any other duties.

530
02:08:34,140 --> 02:08:37,920
I didn't have time to finish during my fast-paced eight-hour workday.

531
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:39,900
I wasn't afforded the time.

532
02:08:40,180 --> 02:08:42,520
I most definitely wasn't afforded any extra personnel

533
02:08:42,520 --> 02:08:43,580
to help with the workload.

534
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:47,020
There were many times I did not see the youngest of my four children

535
02:08:47,020 --> 02:08:48,920
because I left for work so early in the morning,

536
02:08:49,100 --> 02:08:52,260
while he was sleeping and came home as he was already

537
02:08:52,260 --> 02:08:57,980
and bet. Also at the time, my husband was ill with renal failure. And yet, in my due diligence,

538
02:08:58,200 --> 02:09:02,560
I felt the need to get worked done today that I felt couldn't wait until tomorrow. People

539
02:09:02,560 --> 02:09:07,100
say the work will be there. That's exactly what I was afraid of. What is not done today will

540
02:09:07,100 --> 02:09:11,760
be there tomorrow in addition to tomorrow's workload, causing what's known as a snowball effect.

541
02:09:12,800 --> 02:09:17,420
Because we work alone and unsupervised outside of class visits, our workload is not valued in

542
02:09:17,420 --> 02:09:22,560
respect as other classified positions. It takes a diligent, caring person with integrity

543
02:09:22,560 --> 02:09:27,260
and a hard work ethic to do our labor intensive job, especially with little direction or

544
02:09:27,260 --> 02:09:33,120
no additional support. Now, what kind of a librarian would I be without a book quote or quote by

545
02:09:33,120 --> 02:09:38,240
an author? Robert Lewis Stevenson, best known for the classic treasure island in Dr. Jackal and

546
02:09:38,240 --> 02:09:44,020
Mr. Hyde, one said, don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but the seeds that you plant.

547
02:09:44,020 --> 02:09:47,220
As librarians, we are passionate about what we do.

548
02:09:47,660 --> 02:09:52,720
The diverse library collections we build are done with the aspiration to intentionally inspire our students.

549
02:09:53,520 --> 02:09:54,880
Countless hours are spent.

550
02:09:55,500 --> 02:09:59,440
Building collections that allow our students to connect and identify with literary works.

551
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:29,920
Accounting of better understanding of themselves in the world around them. They learn to believe in themselves, build character, persevere through adversity, empathize, and allow themselves to hope and dream of endless possibilities. In addition, the multicultural books in our libraries reflect our student's diversity, always reminding them of the safe space created for them, and ensuring all are welcome. When former students are in their third or fourth year of college, we know the harvest will soon come. And we rest while knowing our efforts have been fruitful.

552
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:33,880
them. We are planting seeds every day. Thank you.

553
02:10:37,610 --> 02:10:40,330
Thank you. And I believe my last speaker is Marty

554
02:10:40,330 --> 02:10:40,990
Strother.

555
02:10:44,570 --> 02:10:51,150
Welcome. Thank you. Hello everyone. My name is Marty Strother and I am the LMAE at Roosevelt

556
02:10:51,150 --> 02:10:58,380
Elementary. I'm here to give to give my voice to what I feel it is injustices to the compensation we

557
02:10:58,380 --> 02:11:24,220
receive as LMA in contrast to the work we do. Our libraries, inner libraries, there is an atmosphere of love, attention, care, respect that we create every single day for our students when we walk through our doors. The learning experience in our libraries is high. It's detailed and is well coordinated for every class and every student.

558
02:11:25,100 --> 02:11:34,660
I hear all the time how other LMAs go beyond their break, lunch and after school hours to complete their work and be ready every single day.

559
02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:44,680
I have never worked with a group such like this that completes its searches and shares ideas for the growth of all of our schools.

560
02:11:44,680 --> 02:11:50,620
Our job include ordering books, reading all books, books from our collection,

561
02:11:51,260 --> 02:11:56,620
labeling books, preparing for holidays, and or special spare days.

562
02:11:57,840 --> 02:12:03,440
Updating boards, updating accounts, verifying book returns and searching for specific titles.

563
02:12:03,940 --> 02:12:09,120
When the youngest class is walk in, we must be ready to entertain or even more.

564
02:12:09,480 --> 02:12:12,640
Play an instrument like it has been suggested to us.

565
02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:21,620
We do felt stories, time or puppet shows, all paid from our money, we encourage students

566
02:12:21,620 --> 02:12:26,160
by updating our library so it's an exciting place for them to visit.

567
02:12:27,560 --> 02:12:34,500
We engage them in reading through different platforms and we consistently uplift them

568
02:12:34,500 --> 02:12:37,260
when we see that their reading goals are low.

569
02:12:37,260 --> 02:12:43,640
We also keep track of student ID cards and or notices for late or lost books.

570
02:12:44,240 --> 02:12:49,040
When a book order arrives, we update the mark records for those books and match our order

571
02:12:49,040 --> 02:12:50,520
against what was received.

572
02:12:51,440 --> 02:12:57,160
Whenever the Anaheim Public Library has events or holiday related special days, we are always

573
02:12:57,160 --> 02:12:59,300
encouraged to share this information.

574
02:12:59,300 --> 02:13:07,920
And also we're part of committees at our schools pushing us side already a packed full day.

575
02:13:08,340 --> 02:13:11,000
We help students check in and out books of course.

576
02:13:11,220 --> 02:13:14,960
We keep our libraries organized by shelving return books daily.

577
02:13:15,800 --> 02:13:24,240
We also help SEC students who require a different approach in order to maximize their time in the library.

578
02:13:24,240 --> 02:13:41,480
Our libraries are places used by everyone with different and very unique needs, taking care of an entire library for our students and staff is not easy, but we do it with 100% love and passion for learning.

579
02:13:43,120 --> 02:13:43,530
Thank you.

580
02:13:49,800 --> 02:13:51,080
Thank you to all our speakers.

581
02:13:51,080 --> 02:13:56,060
I believe that concludes this portion of public speaking.

582
02:13:56,700 --> 02:14:03,380
So we will move on to our Superintendent's report and the first update will be on our expanded

583
02:14:03,380 --> 02:14:09,740
learning opportunities program with Dr. Downing, our Superintendent and Dr. Yadira Moreno,

584
02:14:10,260 --> 02:14:13,520
who is our Director of School of Family and Community Engagement.

585
02:14:23,550 --> 02:14:25,930
Good evening board members and a high in community.

586
02:14:25,930 --> 02:14:31,370
This evening, we'd like to give you an update on expanded learning opportunities program.

587
02:14:31,870 --> 02:14:35,250
As you're aware last month, we had an update from the YMCA.

588
02:14:35,650 --> 02:14:40,270
So we wanted to follow up with information about the Anaheim elementary succeeds program.

589
02:14:42,010 --> 02:14:50,170
So this first graphic shows you the vision of state superintendent, Thurmin, as well as Governor Newsom.

590
02:14:50,170 --> 02:14:59,970
And it's a wheel, and this wheel symbolizes the intent for our schools, our schools are a community hub.

591
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:10,060
And resources that our students and our families can participate in and benefit from. You'll see on this

592
02:15:10,060 --> 02:15:19,520
We'll universal, pre-Kina Garden, community schools, professional learning, anti-biose education.

593
02:15:20,700 --> 02:15:26,180
We have health programs, expanded learning, and universal meals.

594
02:15:27,420 --> 02:15:37,080
So in AESD, as you are aware, we already have CDE approval for eight of our community schools.

595
02:15:37,080 --> 02:15:44,300
And certainly this evening we're going to share some great updates about our expanded learning program.

596
02:15:46,300 --> 02:15:52,840
This is a summary of the funding that's provided to support expanded learning in California.

597
02:15:53,920 --> 02:15:58,140
So you'll see that there are different types of funding provided to districts.

598
02:15:58,140 --> 02:16:13,040
This evening, we're going to focus on the state funded programs specifically the after-school education and safety program or ASUS as well as expanded learning opportunities program or ELOP.

599
02:16:13,760 --> 02:16:23,540
ELOP was the result of assembly bill AB 130 funding and it was later amended to become AB 181.

600
02:16:24,960 --> 02:16:31,460
So, at this time, I'm going to ask Dr. Yadira Marino to take us through an overview and share

601
02:16:31,460 --> 02:16:35,540
a little bit about the Anaheim Elementary Sexy program, Dr. Marino.

602
02:16:38,360 --> 02:16:41,680
Good evening, Cabinet, and board members.

603
02:16:42,740 --> 02:16:50,660
So, expanded learning, the definition is really before after school, summer, and intercession

604
02:16:50,660 --> 02:16:51,200
days.

605
02:16:51,200 --> 02:17:02,760
So we'll talk a little bit more about that, but we really want to focus on academic, social, emotional, and the physical needs and interest of our students through engaging learning experiences.

606
02:17:03,520 --> 02:17:11,980
One of the most important parts of the legislation that we discuss a lot is that it will involve community partners because it's such a large undertaking.

607
02:17:11,980 --> 02:17:26,020
and we wanted to complement our day program, but not replicate it. So again, in keeping our students after school, we want to ensure that it's not the same thing they're doing the six hours during the day.

608
02:17:27,420 --> 02:17:39,000
So with our ACEs program, the after school safety and education grant, what we want to ensure is that this was a voter approved in 2002,

609
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:43,700
and it has expanded and been renamed to be foreign after school learning and

610
02:17:43,700 --> 02:17:48,900
say it has been renamed. But the ACEs program funds really what it does is

611
02:17:48,900 --> 02:17:54,300
also a focus on literacy and academic enrichment for TK through ninth. So you

612
02:17:54,300 --> 02:17:59,640
do see ACEs funding in our junior high schools as well. Funding is designated

613
02:17:59,640 --> 02:18:05,180
kind of through the same lunches e-law to maintain existing before and after

614
02:18:05,180 --> 02:18:10,400
programs and to provide eligibility to the elementary schools.

615
02:18:12,300 --> 02:18:19,880
The program intent is really driven by California Education Code 46120 that LEA's offer

616
02:18:19,880 --> 02:18:26,660
the unduplicated students in our classroom, the instructional programs and access to comprehensive

617
02:18:26,660 --> 02:18:30,680
and intercession dates to RTK through six-grade students.

618
02:18:32,920 --> 02:19:02,900
The program requirements for ELOP is our nine-hour days, which we very proudly serve our students, above and beyond the nine-hour requirement, typically it's 11 and a half-hour day that we're serving our kids from 6.30 to 6 o'clock PM, and offer at least 30 non-school days, which we also supersede that by 31 that we have planned.

619
02:19:02,900 --> 02:19:09,220
for and also the intercession, the beyond intercession days that we offer in July.

620
02:19:12,340 --> 02:19:21,320
With our LEA, we want to ensure that the program is offered to all our students, because

621
02:19:21,320 --> 02:19:29,260
our district is 75% or above the UPP, so all our students have access to this programming.

622
02:19:29,260 --> 02:19:37,960
So our Anaheim elementary school students in a TK through six grades a setting can stay with us for the 12 hours a day.

623
02:19:40,110 --> 02:19:46,070
So our Anaheim elementary succeeds current enrollment is 9,505 students.

624
02:19:47,230 --> 02:19:52,330
That is 67% of our student of our current student population.

625
02:19:52,330 --> 02:19:59,970
And our last update, which was around May, you saw our highest enrollment, which was 75% of our...

626
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:17,620
Our student enrollment. We currently have 1900's about 1900's students in our Anaheim Achieve's program, which they are our ACEs provider, and our Anaheim elementary succeeds, which is our ELOT funding, is 7,577.

627
02:20:17,620 --> 02:20:27,520
How we ensure non-replication of during the day is we use our program goal of goals, which

628
02:20:27,520 --> 02:20:32,820
is student voice and leadership, so show your emotional learning, academic support and

629
02:20:32,820 --> 02:20:39,220
esteem, artisteem branding, which is our science technology engineering, arts, math, and

630
02:20:39,220 --> 02:20:42,120
our dual language program all centered on equity.

631
02:20:44,100 --> 02:20:54,280
So what you see is just little snapshots of what enrichment we are offering our students before and after school.

632
02:20:54,980 --> 02:21:01,260
The beauty of this again is that it provides opportunities for our students within their schools,

633
02:21:01,300 --> 02:21:07,860
which is a very safe and awesome place to stay, either to arrive earlier or stay after school.

634
02:21:07,860 --> 02:21:11,700
So we have our culturally relevant assemblies.

635
02:21:11,980 --> 02:21:14,720
We have our sports teams that have taken off.

636
02:21:14,940 --> 02:21:18,220
Soccer will be across 23 school sites this year.

637
02:21:18,440 --> 02:21:22,520
Our speech and debate where we have 13 competitive sites

638
02:21:22,520 --> 02:21:25,860
competing in national tournaments.

639
02:21:26,420 --> 02:21:30,100
Our Madhya Chi program, which you saw during our board,

640
02:21:30,100 --> 02:21:32,660
news, board and updates by Belinda,

641
02:21:32,940 --> 02:21:35,480
that she also highlighted the stage

642
02:21:35,480 --> 02:21:44,060
that they've been able to achieve, and the visual arts component that goes beyond various projects

643
02:21:44,060 --> 02:21:50,200
and site-based specific, and are by Lyphorclodico Group that currently has about 150 dancers

644
02:21:50,200 --> 02:21:51,580
in our first session.

645
02:21:53,680 --> 02:21:59,260
Something super exciting and again contributes to that goal of transforming

646
02:21:59,260 --> 02:22:09,220
schools and really looking at adding our supports differently in our in our schools is

647
02:22:09,220 --> 02:22:16,520
the school nurses that have joined our ELOT program. So you can see that at nine of our

648
02:22:16,520 --> 02:22:29,240
community school sites, we now now have LVNs from 2 to 6 p.m. And this has been a

649
02:22:29,240 --> 02:22:35,440
freees up staff from little bumps and bruises that happen because again it's after school and

650
02:22:35,440 --> 02:22:40,800
everything that happens during the day happens after school and one of the best things that

651
02:22:40,800 --> 02:22:46,700
we've also been able to add is like an after school nurse coordinator that works directly with

652
02:22:46,700 --> 02:22:54,720
our no-sut during the day. They collaborate and ensure that the students health needs are communicated

653
02:22:54,720 --> 02:22:58,580
and we're able to serve them after school.

654
02:22:59,340 --> 02:23:02,720
So it has been a wonderful addition.

655
02:23:03,020 --> 02:23:04,160
These past two, three weeks.

656
02:23:05,260 --> 02:23:06,720
And we're also looking again,

657
02:23:06,780 --> 02:23:09,560
big picture thinking and transforming our community schools.

658
02:23:10,220 --> 02:23:13,840
Eventually, they start supporting our families in a creative way

659
02:23:13,840 --> 02:23:19,060
through the collaboration of our big picture planning of community schools development.

660
02:23:20,310 --> 02:23:28,450
Our Anaheim Elementary Six Seeds Program currently has two ELOP administrators, 24 leadership assistants,

661
02:23:29,050 --> 02:23:34,930
who are responsible for the site programming at their specific school site.

662
02:23:35,870 --> 02:23:48,770
19 service providers and we have morning programs at every school site and afternoon programs at every school site.

663
02:23:48,770 --> 02:23:58,510
And again, our online academy scholars have access to programming at any school that is convenient to them, not necessarily their home school.

664
02:24:00,170 --> 02:24:06,170
So as we transition and continuing to build and have conversations for our one comprehensive program,

665
02:24:06,170 --> 02:24:12,290
Our ELOAP and ACEIS timeline are work has begun now two and a half years ago.

666
02:24:12,970 --> 02:24:19,510
One of the first conversations that we had was to ensure that through ACEIS, we changed

667
02:24:19,510 --> 02:24:24,590
the program guide for parents to be able to pick up their child at whatever time they

668
02:24:24,590 --> 02:24:25,390
deemed necessary.

669
02:24:25,890 --> 02:24:32,990
One of the big misconceptions that we had is that ACEIS, you had to keep the child here

670
02:24:32,990 --> 02:24:40,350
6 p.m. And so through conversations and educations and supports, we learned that we're able

671
02:24:40,350 --> 02:24:48,030
to change that. So we worked closely together with the Anaheim achieves our ACEs provider to change

672
02:24:48,030 --> 02:24:52,530
the language to what is the best interest of their child, again ensuring that the parent knows

673
02:24:52,530 --> 02:24:58,790
what is best for their child, of when they need to be picked up. And then we transitioned after

674
02:24:58,790 --> 02:24:59,630
that in November.

675
02:25:01,200 --> 02:25:26,820
Of 2022, if you remember our first year last year, we had our schools open to 415, 430, or 445. So we built kind of a transition into our ASUS provider, where our scholars that were, once they were dismissed if they needed programming until 6pm, they could still continue regardless, there wouldn't be a wait list, and it would be a seamless transition until 6pm.

676
02:25:26,820 --> 02:25:32,840
At the beginning of this year, we continued with that process, but knowing that our community

677
02:25:32,840 --> 02:25:40,240
schools now offer programming from 636, we wanted to make sure that our non-community

678
02:25:40,240 --> 02:25:46,280
schools will still have access for the students that needed to stay there a little later.

679
02:25:47,060 --> 02:25:54,220
So we insured that continual transition and we were able to reduce the pickups at many of the

680
02:25:54,220 --> 02:26:01,980
sites. In October, which is just a couple weeks ago, we started our federal program monitoring

681
02:26:01,980 --> 02:26:10,940
audit, and I'd like to welcome Mr. Fred Bugs, who is our educational consultant from the California

682
02:26:10,940 --> 02:26:18,240
Department of Ed, who has been helping us learn and grow a one-comprehensive program in

683
02:26:18,240 --> 02:26:25,820
on a high elementary and we currently this week are have been visiting our school sites and

684
02:26:25,820 --> 02:26:30,160
looking at it through the different lens to ensure not only that we are compliant but most

685
02:26:30,160 --> 02:26:36,420
importantly offering our families a quality program that extends beyond the expectations and

686
02:26:36,420 --> 02:26:42,600
really meets the needs of our community. So with that we do plan on submitting our ACE's grant

687
02:26:42,600 --> 02:26:46,420
application that will be due tomorrow, November 9th.

688
02:26:46,540 --> 02:26:48,300
So we're excited about that.

689
02:26:48,760 --> 02:26:52,680
Our collaboration continues with our ACEs provider,

690
02:26:52,940 --> 02:26:56,140
which is a YMCA and some of the information

691
02:26:56,140 --> 02:26:59,700
that we do as we continue are weekly meetings

692
02:26:59,700 --> 02:27:03,440
to ensure that currently we work together

693
02:27:03,440 --> 02:27:07,180
so that all students needs our met before and after school.

694
02:27:08,500 --> 02:27:18,680
So, our service providers has grown to 19, which is exciting and offers a variety, again,

695
02:27:18,900 --> 02:27:24,260
everything, all the services that we offer do not duplicate the data program, but our

696
02:27:24,260 --> 02:27:29,100
under our program goals, which is student voice and student leadership, our social and emotional

697
02:27:29,100 --> 02:27:33,960
learning, academic, the development of academic needs and our esteemed branding.

698
02:27:33,960 --> 02:27:41,640
So, from tutoring, to mentoring, to physical fitness, to care for our youngest learners,

699
02:27:42,400 --> 02:27:49,040
RTKK scholars, have a specialized program for their development and enrichment, such

700
02:27:49,040 --> 02:27:57,120
as DiscoveryCube for Science, Girl Scouts, and inside the outdoors, our dancing has extended

701
02:27:57,120 --> 02:28:05,360
beyond bilingual glorical to hip-hop, we're also offering hip-hop this year, and Mariati El Sol

702
02:28:05,360 --> 02:28:11,300
has now extended also to 23 school sites. So all our students will have access to that

703
02:28:11,300 --> 02:28:18,040
in the programming this year, and we continue with, and the two new additions has also been

704
02:28:18,040 --> 02:28:24,540
academic chess to our school sites, and you also see that the YMCA is also a service provider

705
02:28:24,540 --> 02:28:30,660
for basketball. So not only do we offer soccer, but we also offer basketball for our students.

706
02:28:32,440 --> 02:28:41,560
So with that, we will continue to enhance and build our ELOP program through ACES funding.

707
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:48,880
So we will be submitting the grant again tomorrow as it is due to the California Department of

708
02:28:48,880 --> 02:28:56,100
to be able to add full-time after-school staff and increase direct student support.

709
02:28:56,740 --> 02:28:59,540
We want to expand, safety and supervision.

710
02:29:00,480 --> 02:29:03,780
Continue to have the appropriate student to adult ratios.

711
02:29:04,840 --> 02:29:10,960
Expand our sport teams that we know are very valued by our community and students

712
02:29:10,960 --> 02:29:14,860
and ensure a free of charge program for our students.

713
02:29:16,810 --> 02:29:22,870
Just in closing board members, we started off by showing you the California Department of Education

714
02:29:22,870 --> 02:29:30,210
Wheel of Support and certainly the program that we've created together exemplifies that.

715
02:29:30,490 --> 02:29:39,070
We are one of the only districts in the state offering almost 11 hours of support for families,

716
02:29:39,970 --> 02:29:46,250
families who need to work, families who trust us with their students who want to make sure

717
02:29:46,250 --> 02:29:52,010
that their students are safe, but not only safe, participating in enrichment activities that

718
02:29:52,010 --> 02:29:52,750
are high quality.

719
02:29:53,670 --> 02:29:59,970
So it is our intent to author our own ACEs grant and to move our program forward.

720
02:30:00,210 --> 02:30:09,690
But we look forward to the opportunity to support our anti-meldimentary school district families in the future and the years to come.

721
02:30:10,070 --> 02:30:13,050
So thank you board members and we welcome any questions you might have.

722
02:30:15,460 --> 02:30:17,040
Questions, board members? Mr. Alvarez?

723
02:30:17,380 --> 02:30:21,420
I'd rather have any questions. I just want to say congratulations. Dr. Downing.

724
02:30:22,440 --> 02:30:29,040
Dr. Marino and your whole team, right? Because this came from an idea of how we're going to serve as kids.

725
02:30:29,040 --> 02:30:33,300
It was a really low-scale double, right, to this, right?

726
02:30:33,620 --> 02:30:39,380
And so it's really exciting for me because, I don't know, it just became something that

727
02:30:39,380 --> 02:30:43,980
is bigger than we could have imagined, and it's due to your out-of-the-box thinking,

728
02:30:44,100 --> 02:30:50,060
your community connections, your willingness to support our families when we're not in regular

729
02:30:50,060 --> 02:30:51,200
school hours, right?

730
02:30:51,700 --> 02:30:55,880
And so I don't know, Kudos to you guys and team and for this vision to come to fruition

731
02:30:55,880 --> 02:31:01,000
is really exciting for me and really, I think you as a parent in this district, right?

732
02:31:01,180 --> 02:31:05,140
Because those things are there for my kids, so they're for everybody's kids, thank you so

733
02:31:05,140 --> 02:31:06,300
much for all you do.

734
02:31:07,180 --> 02:31:07,860
Thank you.

735
02:31:09,840 --> 02:31:10,540
Anyone else?

736
02:31:11,900 --> 02:31:16,320
I'll just say thank you also and what Mr. Oliver has said.

737
02:31:16,380 --> 02:31:21,340
And I've had a lot of opportunity to see a lot of this program and go to some of the after

738
02:31:21,340 --> 02:31:24,740
school, flings, and the assemblies, and it's, I've always been amazed.

739
02:31:24,740 --> 02:31:54,720
It's just really a fantastic program and growing it over these past two and a half years has been an honor to watch it and thank you for all you've done for the vision of it and then now, you know, what it's actually become so it's quite amazing and I know Dr. Reno, you and your staff work incredibly hard and are called on to do a lot to make this just an amazing program.

740
02:31:54,720 --> 02:32:00,460
program. So thank you. And the presentation was really informative and wonderful. Thank you.

741
02:32:00,780 --> 02:32:07,600
President of Public, I do have something to say. You know, nothing is perfect, right? And one

742
02:32:07,600 --> 02:32:16,020
of the things is that, you know, the Anaheim succeeds program this year when it started. It wasn't

743
02:32:16,020 --> 02:32:20,000
perfect, right? When the beginning of the year started. I called you right away and I was like,

744
02:32:20,000 --> 02:32:23,400
Why am I getting calls from families and it was in a smooth beginning?

745
02:32:24,640 --> 02:32:32,800
But what I appreciate Dr. Marino with you in your work ethic and your team is that you address these issues right on

746
02:32:33,680 --> 02:32:41,200
You talked about them. You fix them and you ironed out these problems and this is why I'm

747
02:32:41,200 --> 02:32:46,580
Really really excited that we are going to be applying for our own ACEs program

748
02:32:46,580 --> 02:32:48,720
Mainly because of the fact that

749
02:32:48,720 --> 02:32:55,780
we get to control it. So as a result, when we're short, something will shame on us. If we don't

750
02:32:55,780 --> 02:33:03,220
have people there, shame on us. You know, and I like that in the sense of knowing your competency,

751
02:33:03,460 --> 02:33:08,820
knowing your team's competency, knowing that what we produce in AESD always strives to be

752
02:33:10,620 --> 02:33:16,220
amazing in the balls in our court. And that's what I'm most excited about with this. And this is why

753
02:33:16,220 --> 02:33:25,680
I truly, truly, truly, I'm always now bragging about this awesome program that defines us in a lot of ways.

754
02:33:26,540 --> 02:33:32,620
Besides our amazing language program, but our after school program as well, that's there.

755
02:33:33,260 --> 02:33:37,200
So, could you see you guys and just please keep doing this fantastic work?

756
02:33:37,580 --> 02:33:38,200
Thank you.

757
02:33:38,500 --> 02:33:42,680
And I'll just add in very happy to see that the music program is also, you know,

758
02:33:42,680 --> 02:33:49,740
but what I love is that it's incorporated into this and it's just really a joy to see that.

759
02:33:50,000 --> 02:33:51,260
So, thank you.

760
02:33:51,600 --> 02:33:52,320
Thank you.

761
02:33:52,900 --> 02:33:57,700
Okay, we're moving on now to our dual-language immersion quarterly update.

762
02:33:58,000 --> 02:34:01,980
And that will be Maria Villegas, our director of curriculum and instruction and

763
02:34:01,980 --> 02:34:05,940
Magale Rodriguez, our coordinator of multi-lingual language instruction programs.

764
02:34:05,940 --> 02:34:11,840
Well, good evening. President Phil Beck's school board, Superintendent Downing, Cabinet members.

765
02:34:12,660 --> 02:34:14,700
I truly have the easiest job of this evening.

766
02:34:14,840 --> 02:34:16,240
Number one is to say thank you.

767
02:34:16,240 --> 02:34:19,000
Thank you for ensuring that we're having these board updates,

768
02:34:19,260 --> 02:34:24,440
because you keep us accountable to ensure that we're providing that high quality program by having these regular updates.

769
02:34:25,120 --> 02:34:29,100
And without further ado, I'm just going to turn it over to our wonderful coordinator,

770
02:34:29,200 --> 02:34:31,140
or multi-language programs to give us updates.

771
02:34:31,580 --> 02:34:32,200
So thank you.

772
02:34:37,230 --> 02:34:39,610
All right, good evening, board, cabinet.

773
02:34:39,830 --> 02:34:43,270
It's a pleasure to be here again now with my second quarterly update.

774
02:34:43,370 --> 02:34:44,290
Can we call it that now?

775
02:34:44,490 --> 02:34:46,010
This will, yeah, quarterly update.

776
02:34:46,950 --> 02:34:48,510
Okay, let's jump right in.

777
02:34:48,670 --> 02:34:52,210
It's before we move on to more information and business.

778
02:34:52,430 --> 02:34:54,190
I just want to set the stage a little bit

779
02:34:54,190 --> 02:34:57,030
and just ground us and where we are, right?

780
02:34:57,310 --> 02:34:59,810
We've been up here telling us of where we're going.

781
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:29,980
Sometimes a little bit of where we've been. But what do we look like right now? So we are currently in the 18th year of our dual-language program in its entirety. So 18 years, how to do the math on that one. Currently, in our access to all or our expansion, if you will, we are in our fifth year. And so that's what you're going to see here in terms of where are we in terms of the matriculation. So you see here fourth grade, up to fourth grade. So this would encompass all of the schools in which the

782
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:34,200
access to all or the rollout of our dual-engaged program fit and or so you can see there

783
02:35:34,200 --> 02:35:40,320
the list of schools. We have one school that's in fifth grade here, Stoddard, and then we have

784
02:35:40,320 --> 02:35:45,960
our fully matriculated dual-engaged immersion academies at the schools listed here, which includes

785
02:35:45,960 --> 02:35:51,640
our three ground father schools as well. So this just paints a picture where we are in terms of

786
02:35:51,640 --> 02:35:56,500
being two years out of being fully matriculated. So this is exciting, especially when you know we said

787
02:35:56,500 --> 02:35:57,660
we couldn't do it?

788
02:35:57,740 --> 02:35:59,100
Not us, of course, right.

789
02:35:59,100 --> 02:36:00,420
Right, right, here we are.

790
02:36:02,620 --> 02:36:05,740
Diving right into this image, which is very fitting.

791
02:36:06,360 --> 02:36:07,880
And this presentation was done a while ago,

792
02:36:07,880 --> 02:36:09,080
just putting it out there.

793
02:36:09,580 --> 02:36:11,420
We have a picture here.

794
02:36:11,520 --> 02:36:12,440
This is Roosevelt.

795
02:36:12,860 --> 02:36:14,820
So if photo credit, or I took the photo

796
02:36:14,820 --> 02:36:17,700
but credit to Marty, our LMA at Roosevelt.

797
02:36:17,840 --> 02:36:20,640
So here we can see just the placer of books

798
02:36:20,640 --> 02:36:22,180
that are afforded to our students.

799
02:36:22,340 --> 02:36:23,440
And since it's for the love of reading,

800
02:36:23,620 --> 02:36:26,040
we know students have access now to digital books.

801
02:36:26,040 --> 02:36:31,120
They have access to being able to get videos, but we can't forget the love of reading.

802
02:36:31,600 --> 02:36:39,020
And so here you can see that our schools and I have to say that the district really saw the support that was needed.

803
02:36:39,200 --> 02:36:43,300
So you bolster programs, you provide support in different ways.

804
02:36:43,300 --> 02:36:44,340
And this is one way.

805
02:36:44,620 --> 02:36:49,020
So our district responded and they actually had the idea of funding,

806
02:36:49,560 --> 02:36:54,040
100% the district funded the books for every single one of our school sites.

807
02:36:54,040 --> 02:37:03,020
We got to work as our team as well, providing a list of books and really highlighting which one was those books that were really sought after by our kids.

808
02:37:03,800 --> 02:37:09,700
We asked some of our own employees, what are your kids reading these days because as much as we think we're cool, we're not anymore, right?

809
02:37:10,320 --> 02:37:12,260
So we provided multiple copies.

810
02:37:13,040 --> 02:37:17,820
So that's students, the highly checked out books, if you will, so that they would have the availability of these books.

811
02:37:17,840 --> 02:37:19,080
So you can see that here.

812
02:37:19,080 --> 02:37:25,260
And so we, of course, we did not forget Jefferson or Korean books as they were also afforded the books that you see.

813
02:37:25,360 --> 02:37:29,380
This is just one snapshot of how beautifully they have been now available for our students.

814
02:37:30,100 --> 02:37:33,640
So a great point of highlight for us there.

815
02:37:34,500 --> 02:37:38,560
Okay, moving on to our newest baby, Mandarin DLI.

816
02:37:38,740 --> 02:37:39,940
So here's a little bit of an update.

817
02:37:40,080 --> 02:37:44,440
Again, this is just intended to show I won't, I don't intend to read everything also this slide.

818
02:37:44,440 --> 02:37:47,640
But I was thinking of in two ways in which we're supporting

819
02:37:47,640 --> 02:37:50,260
the development of our newest addition of the language

820
02:37:50,260 --> 02:37:52,900
and see on the left-hand side, you'll see our teacher

821
02:37:52,900 --> 02:37:53,880
support, right?

822
02:37:53,960 --> 02:37:56,720
What are we doing to ensure that a teacher has

823
02:37:56,720 --> 02:37:57,860
all everything that they need?

824
02:37:58,400 --> 02:38:00,940
It was also unique in that we started in TK.

825
02:38:01,240 --> 02:38:03,700
So transitional kindergarten has very specific needs

826
02:38:03,700 --> 02:38:05,820
and terminal developmental ensuring that students

827
02:38:05,820 --> 02:38:08,240
have play through play they're learning.

828
02:38:08,600 --> 02:38:09,560
So what does that look like?

829
02:38:09,700 --> 02:38:13,360
And so down to having the food in the kitchen,

830
02:38:13,360 --> 02:38:18,420
just I was so cute. Dumplings, right? We have a different aspect in there that would not be

831
02:38:18,420 --> 02:38:25,640
common in, let's say, English only TK, although we are exploring adding cultural aspects to that,

832
02:38:25,920 --> 02:38:30,620
but just having those down to that granular of details and sharing that the classroom and the

833
02:38:30,620 --> 02:38:36,980
students have what they need. We have a wonderful curriculum specialist who comes highly trained from

834
02:38:36,980 --> 02:38:41,400
one of the districts she chose to come to us and she's able to co-plan with the teacher,

835
02:38:41,400 --> 02:38:46,880
co-deliver lessons, model lessons, plan, whatever it takes in order for the teacher to fill

836
02:38:46,880 --> 02:38:52,140
that she has a capacity to, of course, serve our students as well. So she's there quite

837
02:38:52,140 --> 02:38:56,540
a bit in all aspects and all subjects. So now we look on the right hand side and we look

838
02:38:56,540 --> 02:39:01,020
at the curriculum and those of us in education, we know no curriculums ever going to be perfect,

839
02:39:01,520 --> 02:39:06,860
right, and so not to quote your words. But we are looking at bolstering what comes with the program

840
02:39:06,860 --> 02:39:11,100
and aligning it to match the rigor that we provide here in our hemalamentary school district.

841
02:39:11,100 --> 02:39:16,300
So although we have some curriculum that we were able to secure, then it comes with alignment,

842
02:39:16,480 --> 02:39:17,180
scope and sequence.

843
02:39:17,340 --> 02:39:18,200
What does it look like?

844
02:39:18,220 --> 02:39:19,860
Is it a developmental appropriate?

845
02:39:20,620 --> 02:39:24,400
And serving the students that are in our, or the population in our class,

846
02:39:24,600 --> 02:39:27,800
who are not all heritage to Chinese Mandarin.

847
02:39:28,440 --> 02:39:30,800
So that's also the attention to detail there,

848
02:39:30,800 --> 02:39:34,580
and ensuring that we are aligning with the standards at the end of the day.

849
02:39:34,800 --> 02:39:36,760
And then taking the transadapting, I'll remind you,

850
02:39:36,920 --> 02:39:39,500
transadapting means that it's not just a translation,

851
02:39:39,500 --> 02:39:45,080
but we're taking the concept and then adapting it to be authentically created text.

852
02:39:45,360 --> 02:39:46,900
So that's what it looks like there.

853
02:39:47,200 --> 02:39:52,240
All right. So that's in a nutshell what we've been doing to Mandarin to help grow our newest

854
02:39:52,240 --> 02:39:58,220
language. Hey, Korean. We have Korean, can't forget that's, you know, our second language here.

855
02:39:58,440 --> 02:39:59,500
How Korean do you like update?

856
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:08,440
And same thing, I mean, we're constantly evolving and revamping and collaborating with the school site on what are some things that we need to do to continue to support.

857
02:40:09,160 --> 02:40:24,060
And so we were reminded that we do have a curriculum development team, a Korean curriculum development team, that works to create units for us that match thematically to benchmark out of which is the adopted curriculum, but that only takes us so far.

858
02:40:24,060 --> 02:40:28,200
So you could see here what we have to create is the manner and placement of our

859
02:40:28,200 --> 02:40:28,680
articulation.

860
02:40:28,860 --> 02:40:30,420
What's happening with our units?

861
02:40:30,840 --> 02:40:32,460
We're looking at pacing guides.

862
02:40:32,560 --> 02:40:37,280
How does that connect to teacher schedules in conjunction with interventions and all the

863
02:40:37,280 --> 02:40:38,800
other happenings throughout the day?

864
02:40:39,240 --> 02:40:43,000
We're looking at creating those notable Korean Americans on slides.

865
02:40:43,500 --> 02:40:47,100
Again, bridging that cultural aspect and bridging history and social science.

866
02:40:47,180 --> 02:40:47,740
Integration.

867
02:40:48,760 --> 02:40:51,040
We have now provided my math.

868
02:40:51,040 --> 02:40:53,500
So that's my math curriculum for mathematics.

869
02:40:54,040 --> 02:40:56,920
And we provided that teacher manual now in Korean as well, fully.

870
02:40:57,240 --> 02:41:00,420
So that's also what we were able to provide just recently.

871
02:41:00,940 --> 02:41:02,580
And so on the teacher and site support,

872
02:41:02,720 --> 02:41:05,540
we continue to be present at Dr. Sipthos,

873
02:41:05,560 --> 02:41:07,940
or coffee chats, because one thing we've learned

874
02:41:07,940 --> 02:41:09,800
and you've seen me up here say time and time again

875
02:41:09,800 --> 02:41:11,600
is we education is key for our families.

876
02:41:12,080 --> 02:41:13,460
We all forget what we signed up for.

877
02:41:13,600 --> 02:41:15,340
We forget what we had last week

878
02:41:15,340 --> 02:41:16,440
for lunch or what yesterday, whatever.

879
02:41:16,840 --> 02:41:19,480
But it's constantly reminding them of what they signed up for.

880
02:41:19,480 --> 02:41:21,900
So that's a constant presence there.

881
02:41:22,200 --> 02:41:28,340
We have the stamp is what we use to measure their language acquisition in Korean, right?

882
02:41:28,340 --> 02:41:31,560
So we have it in English, but then this is what with the tool that we use for Korean.

883
02:41:31,980 --> 02:41:34,340
But what does that look like in terms of instructional implications?

884
02:41:34,620 --> 02:41:35,840
So we have the assessment.

885
02:41:36,400 --> 02:41:40,280
It tells us this is where our students are, and then what do we do in order to be able

886
02:41:40,280 --> 02:41:42,860
to reach the students where their needs are?

887
02:41:43,160 --> 02:41:44,700
And so you see less in studies as well.

888
02:41:44,700 --> 02:41:49,580
and math talks, concepts of development, and a pair of short to have an extract

889
02:41:49,580 --> 02:41:49,920
language.

890
02:41:52,200 --> 02:41:55,740
Okay, grandma, thank you guys, we can't forget about Spanish, right?

891
02:41:55,740 --> 02:42:01,080
So we have a lot of my pick-up PD at my first update, I mentioned how excited I was to be able

892
02:42:01,080 --> 02:42:03,000
to provide this PD to our Spanish teachers.

893
02:42:03,700 --> 02:42:07,000
Overwhelmingly, that is one of the areas of biggest need for our teachers.

894
02:42:07,280 --> 02:42:10,260
Like I previously mentioned, my self-included, we learned heritage,

895
02:42:14,680 --> 02:42:14,680
where we learned

896
02:42:15,680 --> 02:42:18,700
And writing is where it was at, in terms of where we were scared.

897
02:42:18,920 --> 02:42:20,880
Like, I might think, where is that beautiful little deal there?

898
02:42:20,900 --> 02:42:23,780
Where does it look like? And so we were ready to provide a three-part series.

899
02:42:24,080 --> 02:42:28,380
And just today, we had our conclusion of our third or culminating,

900
02:42:29,400 --> 02:42:32,580
three or third part. So you could see here, teachers engaging.

901
02:42:32,860 --> 02:42:36,880
So it wasn't just lecture. It was actually they walked away with posters.

902
02:42:37,020 --> 02:42:39,620
They walked away with resources that they can use.

903
02:42:40,460 --> 02:42:41,660
And Maria actually provided a picture.

904
02:42:41,660 --> 02:42:47,000
she was visiting one of the school sites, and the teacher was actively applying the resources

905
02:42:47,000 --> 02:42:53,140
that she walked away with from the PDC, so you can see them engaging and creating and categorizing

906
02:42:53,140 --> 02:42:57,460
in this case as Rukula, and so but it is Rukula, yeah, say that, all right.

907
02:42:58,440 --> 02:43:03,660
All right, so we have here in support and continuing with supporting, we can't forget that it takes

908
02:43:03,660 --> 02:43:08,540
a village within our dual-engaged setting, and we have our educators who are D.O.L.I. instruction

909
02:43:08,540 --> 02:43:15,200
no assistance. So, this particular size is speaking to our three-hour IAs that currently support

910
02:43:15,200 --> 02:43:19,720
our Kinder and first-grade classrooms, so they're split an hour and a half in each class

911
02:43:19,720 --> 02:43:25,920
and we had them and we were, they're just a wonderful group. They love PD, they ask for it,

912
02:43:25,940 --> 02:43:30,260
they eat it up and so the guiding principles of dual language education was something that we provided them

913
02:43:30,260 --> 02:43:34,890
just understanding what it's like, what are the ins and outs and what is ultimately the goal of

914
02:43:34,890 --> 02:43:39,350
language and then optimizing that language opportunities for students and

915
02:43:39,350 --> 02:43:40,150
zones of regulation.

916
02:43:40,430 --> 02:43:43,110
So we're offering support on how to interact with students.

917
02:43:43,630 --> 02:43:47,090
What happens if a child is just not having a great day.

918
02:43:47,350 --> 02:43:50,010
So we're building their capacity to be able to interact again.

919
02:43:50,070 --> 02:43:51,830
There are another educator in the room.

920
02:43:53,920 --> 02:43:56,720
Next we have our ECE T.K.

921
02:43:57,120 --> 02:43:58,380
I.A.P.B.

922
02:43:59,540 --> 02:44:00,700
How's that for an acronym, right?

923
02:44:01,500 --> 02:44:06,400
So it's our easy early childhood education and transitional kind of guarded and structured

924
02:44:06,400 --> 02:44:08,440
assisted professional development.

925
02:44:09,220 --> 02:44:13,380
And so here is these are our seven hour IAs that are in our TK classrooms, you guess

926
02:44:13,380 --> 02:44:13,740
that right?

927
02:44:14,760 --> 02:44:19,680
And here we also were providing PD that was a little bit more tailored to what it is that

928
02:44:19,680 --> 02:44:22,100
they're doing again in a transitional kindergarten classroom.

929
02:44:22,820 --> 02:44:29,040
So a lot of our IAs here transition from a preschool classroom into our TK classroom.

930
02:44:29,040 --> 02:44:31,360
So we made sure that we pulled on their strings

931
02:44:31,360 --> 02:44:33,880
and tailored the PD that way as well.

932
02:44:34,300 --> 02:44:36,500
And then we have a second part they asked for more.

933
02:44:36,820 --> 02:44:39,580
So we're providing a second PD or a second part

934
02:44:39,580 --> 02:44:41,960
if you will in November, which we're now in November.

935
02:44:42,180 --> 02:44:42,900
A couple weeks.

936
02:44:44,930 --> 02:44:46,770
And I should have waited before I clicked on that.

937
02:44:46,990 --> 02:44:50,710
Oh, wow, that was an, I had a completely different idea

938
02:44:50,710 --> 02:44:51,270
in my mind.

939
02:44:51,490 --> 02:44:54,870
All right, so I think the lambda I probably stole my thunder

940
02:44:54,870 --> 02:44:57,350
already with this, but no, you did it.

941
02:44:57,430 --> 02:44:57,710
OK, cool.

942
02:44:57,710 --> 02:44:59,970
So we are officially, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it.

943
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:09,260
23 winner of the Golden Bell Awards for our Spanish dual language immersion academy. So, 18 years,

944
02:45:09,620 --> 02:45:17,380
18 years, and I was asked by the validator why it took so long. Right? She's like, how long? Why? Right?

945
02:45:17,500 --> 02:45:24,660
And so, you know, me, I was talking to her ear off about dual language. And so, I said, you know, we're our biggest critics. And we're going to do something.

946
02:45:24,660 --> 02:45:27,060
We're going to make sure that we're doing right by our students first.

947
02:45:27,300 --> 02:45:28,300
Our families are community.

948
02:45:28,860 --> 02:45:29,840
The ward is great.

949
02:45:30,140 --> 02:45:30,900
It's well deserved.

950
02:45:31,420 --> 02:45:32,900
But we were sure that we were ready.

951
02:45:33,360 --> 02:45:35,560
So in a nutshell, we weren't doing it just for the ward,

952
02:45:35,680 --> 02:45:37,280
but it feels awesome to have it.

953
02:45:37,820 --> 02:45:40,500
So congratulations to us all.

954
02:45:41,000 --> 02:45:41,600
All right.

955
02:45:43,340 --> 02:45:44,180
Thank you.

956
02:45:44,580 --> 02:45:45,000
Any questions?

957
02:45:47,380 --> 02:45:47,860
Go ahead.

958
02:45:48,320 --> 02:45:49,640
Anyone that has questions or comments?

959
02:45:49,860 --> 02:45:52,080
I just want to say, just this screen alone.

960
02:45:53,120 --> 02:45:54,080
It says it all.

961
02:45:54,080 --> 02:45:59,840
What is it? There's no this the screen you just want this one yeah, what's up there. Yeah

962
02:46:00,780 --> 02:46:02,540
Kids multiple languages, right?

963
02:46:02,640 --> 02:46:04,540
Let's just keep growing that list right?

964
02:46:04,720 --> 02:46:09,520
How amazing would that be if we just grew the list and grew the list but I know it's a lot of work

965
02:46:09,520 --> 02:46:15,160
And you put it in a lot of time and all our teachers are investing a lot and so I know thank you for everything

966
02:46:15,160 --> 02:46:18,080
You do. Appreciate it. Okay. Thank you

967
02:46:18,080 --> 02:46:21,740
Awesome work every single time I see your presentation

968
02:46:21,740 --> 02:46:29,860
I think this is going to be a question I'm just going to always ask with regards to preparation for the future, right?

969
02:46:29,960 --> 02:46:37,380
Just because sustainability is something that I'm always curious about given that we have the ally and all of our sites.

970
02:46:38,100 --> 02:46:41,260
What are we doing in preparation for future teachers?

971
02:46:42,420 --> 02:46:49,820
Are our current teachers, you know, with regards to their interest level of getting there?

972
02:46:51,860 --> 02:46:56,440
be glad authorization, thank you Ryan. Can you update me on that?

973
02:47:00,330 --> 02:47:07,570
We can, we seem to, with our Spanish program, it's kind of growing itself with, as far as future educators.

974
02:47:08,810 --> 02:47:18,890
I think we have a future sick or more fucking ear coming down up the pipes and, you know, he reached out.

975
02:47:18,890 --> 02:47:20,750
He's like, I want to work in elementary.

976
02:47:21,010 --> 02:47:23,450
I want to be in D.L.I. So they're coming back.

977
02:47:23,950 --> 02:47:26,690
And they reach out to former administrators, teachers,

978
02:47:26,930 --> 02:47:27,730
and the like.

979
02:47:29,030 --> 02:47:30,270
We're very fortunate.

980
02:47:30,830 --> 02:47:33,690
We made a relationship with the Professor at Cal State LA.

981
02:47:33,810 --> 02:47:35,730
Dr. Gonzalez last year.

982
02:47:36,330 --> 02:47:37,910
And we're going to continue to work with her

983
02:47:38,730 --> 02:47:41,270
on the Mandarin program and growing that,

984
02:47:41,330 --> 02:47:43,110
because they have a very strong program,

985
02:47:43,270 --> 02:47:46,490
as well as our pledge partner, UCI.

986
02:47:46,710 --> 02:47:48,130
When they found out that we were starting

987
02:47:48,130 --> 02:47:54,810
program they're very excited and wanted to start to interact and work together. Our team went to

988
02:47:54,810 --> 02:48:01,790
they had an Asian language symposium earlier this year and we attended that so you know just building

989
02:48:01,790 --> 02:48:08,370
and continuing those partnerships with the Institutes of Higher Learning so that we are always

990
02:48:09,090 --> 02:48:17,350
there go too if you will to place for student teaching field work observations and always inviting

991
02:48:17,350 --> 02:48:21,130
them in to learn from us so that it's always reciprocal.

992
02:48:22,610 --> 02:48:23,890
Anything else you want to add?

993
02:48:23,930 --> 02:48:25,350
Yeah, I do want to add that.

994
02:48:25,470 --> 02:48:27,470
We've come a really long way in terms of support.

995
02:48:27,650 --> 02:48:30,330
It's I think sometimes we, it's easy to get tunnel vision.

996
02:48:30,510 --> 02:48:32,590
They go with CLI or, you know, we're, we're,

997
02:48:32,590 --> 02:48:36,710
but we've come a long way in sense that our whole department's come together to provide support.

998
02:48:37,370 --> 02:48:42,610
And so we had all of our to says or teach on special assignment intervention.

999
02:48:42,750 --> 02:48:45,170
And we provided ice station professional development.

1000
02:48:45,170 --> 02:48:46,650
So at least that sentence was provided.

1001
02:48:47,310 --> 02:48:52,310
And I see an ice patient as a platform that we use that ideally is intended for Spanish, the Spanish,

1002
02:48:52,330 --> 02:48:53,090
out of the house.

1003
02:48:53,270 --> 02:48:56,930
But we really felt that it was a PD that would merit for everybody to hear.

1004
02:48:57,350 --> 02:49:01,590
For everybody to know how the report support being able to meet the needs of students.

1005
02:49:01,790 --> 02:49:04,690
And so that was too full because we provided PD for teachers,

1006
02:49:05,070 --> 02:49:08,090
but also that's going to maximize how students are able to,

1007
02:49:08,090 --> 02:49:09,510
we're able to serve the needs of students.

1008
02:49:09,670 --> 02:49:13,630
So that's one way for me that I see truly that how is expanding.

1009
02:49:13,630 --> 02:49:17,350
And now we're providing support beyond just within the deal.

1010
02:49:17,490 --> 02:49:20,770
So it's reaching more of our teachers as well.

1011
02:49:23,700 --> 02:49:23,720
So.

1012
02:49:24,060 --> 02:49:24,940
That's a couple of questions.

1013
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:25,940
Thank you for the presentation.

1014
02:49:26,140 --> 02:49:27,360
Great job, your team.

1015
02:49:30,160 --> 02:49:33,620
You mentioned the Cal State LA.

1016
02:49:34,420 --> 02:49:35,400
I wasn't going to originally ask this.

1017
02:49:35,400 --> 02:49:37,580
But I was still in our partnership with Cal State Fullerton.

1018
02:49:38,480 --> 02:49:39,180
So that's ongoing.

1019
02:49:40,160 --> 02:49:40,400
OK.

1020
02:49:40,480 --> 02:49:44,740
So we have pretty good turnout for teachers who are interested

1021
02:49:44,740 --> 02:49:51,980
signing up. I think we had 14-ish last year. Yes last year we had 14 that

1022
02:49:51,980 --> 02:49:57,460
completed a similar project become program. Some of them are in the classroom now,

1023
02:49:57,540 --> 02:49:59,980
some are waiting for preferred grades.

1024
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:10,480
The other thing that we're working with Cal State Fullerton is they received a grant specific to developing

1025
02:50:10,480 --> 02:50:21,600
Asian languages, so that's really beneficial as well. And for what's really nice about it is they're expanding their reach within the languages.

1026
02:50:21,600 --> 02:50:37,060
They were very centric on the Vietnamese language for a long time, but they are with this grant, they have to expand, and graduate, I believe, in three years now, 200 Asian language be clad ready teachers.

1027
02:50:38,560 --> 02:50:45,540
So it's a heavy lift for them, but you know, their quality is there, and they even collaborate across their languages.

1028
02:50:45,540 --> 02:50:51,600
So it's it's interesting to just see everything coming together and I think it starts with that

1029
02:50:51,900 --> 02:50:59,900
We had that T call grant from the National Science Foundation and then the become grant and it just becomes this is natural

1030
02:51:00,960 --> 02:51:07,260
Relationship if you will whether there's formal money or not we figure out a way to continue to grow educators together

1031
02:51:08,480 --> 02:51:13,540
Thank you on slide three you mentioned the $1300 or $1,300

1032
02:51:13,540 --> 02:51:19,420
books that were purchased. Great photo, by the way. I just want to compliment you on that.

1033
02:51:20,800 --> 02:51:25,100
Are we still looking at donations? I know it's always kind of a risk or a gamble with some

1034
02:51:25,100 --> 02:51:30,880
of the quality of the books, the high interest reading books, or just, I know we had a Mexican

1035
02:51:30,880 --> 02:51:35,500
consulate that had donated some in the past, but are we still looking at trying to get some of

1036
02:51:35,500 --> 02:51:41,340
the offset any cost we'd have purchasing them? We did receive two different years of consulate,

1037
02:51:41,340 --> 02:51:43,800
So as they receive books, so they're coming directly from,

1038
02:51:43,880 --> 02:51:47,580
and this is Tafi Lira, Mexico, and we vet the books

1039
02:51:47,580 --> 02:51:50,100
in terms of how is it that students come best utilizing.

1040
02:51:50,460 --> 02:51:54,200
And so their donation, again, talk about authentic text,

1041
02:51:54,440 --> 02:51:56,800
but it wasn't necessarily appropriate for our library.

1042
02:51:57,000 --> 02:51:58,780
So those reached classrooms directly

1043
02:51:58,780 --> 02:52:01,060
because they needed to come with support, right?

1044
02:52:01,060 --> 02:52:03,100
With support in how the teacher confessed to apply

1045
02:52:03,100 --> 02:52:05,540
and utilized that tool along with students.

1046
02:52:05,640 --> 02:52:10,140
Because it was more, it wasn't necessarily a straight book,

1047
02:52:10,140 --> 02:52:12,820
literature or even nonfiction or fiction that they could use.

1048
02:52:13,340 --> 02:52:15,860
So we have gotten those twice in the past.

1049
02:52:16,160 --> 02:52:20,320
And I know that we continue to serve on their committee as well

1050
02:52:20,320 --> 02:52:23,200
in terms of vetting resources that are coming from Mexico

1051
02:52:23,200 --> 02:52:25,000
and hitting California.

1052
02:52:25,400 --> 02:52:28,380
But there's a process that we can't just take books literally off

1053
02:52:29,140 --> 02:52:31,400
of, you know, their loading truck and bring it

1054
02:52:31,400 --> 02:52:32,000
into our classrooms.

1055
02:52:32,200 --> 02:52:32,760
That's a process.

1056
02:52:33,780 --> 02:52:34,720
Okay, thank you.

1057
02:52:34,760 --> 02:52:38,040
And the same would hold two for the Korean books as well.

1058
02:52:38,500 --> 02:52:38,780
Working with.

1059
02:52:38,780 --> 02:53:00,390
Yeah, so the Korean with we have a partnership where we are we get grant money and then part of that is used for books as well for the Korean classrooms and the library and for those books they go on a filter downtown to downtown LA and yeah the books source that are available on Korean there yeah.

1060
02:53:01,170 --> 02:53:07,470
Thank you, and then slide five, you mentioned the Cafesitos, the reminders of our parents.

1061
02:53:07,630 --> 02:53:12,910
Here's what you signed up for, which is good, because as people, we have short-term memory

1062
02:53:12,910 --> 02:53:17,470
sometimes about things, and counting the cost on what the commitment is.

1063
02:53:18,010 --> 02:53:24,190
But are there any mandatory trainings or orientation for parents prior to just so they know,

1064
02:53:24,210 --> 02:53:28,830
here's the overview, and there's a cohort of the parents to know, here are the other parents

1065
02:53:28,830 --> 02:53:33,690
you can meet with kind of like have a support group a little bit as anything like that that

1066
02:53:33,690 --> 02:53:34,290
we offer.

1067
02:53:34,670 --> 02:53:41,050
So during our recruitment time, we do have district-wide information meetings every principle

1068
02:53:41,050 --> 02:53:42,470
at their school site.

1069
02:53:42,690 --> 02:53:48,190
They have also hold monthly information meetings for parents to be able to come and get information.

1070
02:53:48,630 --> 02:53:52,410
They have classroom tours because there's one thing to say, it's another thing for them

1071
02:53:52,410 --> 02:53:53,730
to actually see it.

1072
02:53:54,070 --> 02:53:58,010
We have a website too with parent resources that parents get come on.

1073
02:53:58,010 --> 02:54:01,490
we have the information video on there that they can access

1074
02:54:01,490 --> 02:54:04,350
after leisure, we have QR codes where they can just scan

1075
02:54:04,350 --> 02:54:05,850
and come to the website and see.

1076
02:54:06,110 --> 02:54:08,470
So it's ongoing support and truly what I have found

1077
02:54:08,470 --> 02:54:11,070
is that parents are ready to receive information.

1078
02:54:12,030 --> 02:54:13,550
They hear when they're kindergarten students

1079
02:54:13,550 --> 02:54:14,610
first grade second grade.

1080
02:54:14,710 --> 02:54:16,810
Now they're in third grade where the transition is coming.

1081
02:54:17,070 --> 02:54:20,190
And that's really, it's when they're ready to hear

1082
02:54:20,190 --> 02:54:21,730
the information for the grade that's coming.

1083
02:54:21,850 --> 02:54:24,610
And so we also have meetings for parents

1084
02:54:24,610 --> 02:54:25,350
to come in here.

1085
02:54:25,470 --> 02:54:26,970
Hey, this, you're child and second grade.

1086
02:54:26,970 --> 02:54:28,690
this is what they're going to expect in third grade.

1087
02:54:28,890 --> 02:54:30,170
Your child is now in third grade.

1088
02:54:30,270 --> 02:54:31,510
This is what they expect in fourth grade.

1089
02:54:31,650 --> 02:54:34,930
So there's an abundance of ways that we try to provide that resource

1090
02:54:34,930 --> 02:54:36,150
for parents as they prepare.

1091
02:54:37,870 --> 02:54:39,950
And I want to invite Maria up to the mic.

1092
02:54:41,130 --> 02:54:44,330
We have a idea that we're going to roll out this year because

1093
02:54:44,330 --> 02:54:50,810
remember we started three pre school dual language classes this year.

1094
02:54:51,250 --> 02:54:59,970
So with that, there's a kind of an idea to one bridge preschool, whether it's D.L.I. or non D.L.I. to our kids.

1095
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:09,060
Our TK Kinder Program, helping parents seamlessly understand their connected. But we have an idea that we're

1096
02:55:09,060 --> 02:55:15,680
going to incorporate our PLI and some tours, so I'll let her run through the plan.

1097
02:55:16,520 --> 02:55:24,500
Wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to share about that. And it's a course, a collaboration with our DLI team. So, of course, it's all about seeing it in action.

1098
02:55:24,500 --> 02:55:29,220
And so we have three opportunities that we've outlined that are forthcoming.

1099
02:55:29,560 --> 02:55:31,820
Number one is to engage our parent leaders.

1100
02:55:32,040 --> 02:55:32,900
We heard from them.

1101
02:55:33,120 --> 02:55:37,800
It's all about parent-to-parent voice, voice, and when they hear about programs, they believe

1102
02:55:37,800 --> 02:55:38,340
a parent.

1103
02:55:38,920 --> 02:55:46,180
So we are going to be organizing a field trip for a PLI leadership group of parents to be able

1104
02:55:46,180 --> 02:55:50,200
to personally, first learn a little bit about early learning, and then we're going to visit

1105
02:55:50,200 --> 02:55:58,160
all the options of our early learning programs, the Korean, the Spanish, at Jefferson and Roosevelt,

1106
02:55:58,860 --> 02:56:00,520
and also see our learning links program.

1107
02:56:00,700 --> 02:56:03,520
So that's one group, one field trip that we're going to be doing.

1108
02:56:03,840 --> 02:56:08,540
Then we're going to be hosting all our 900 preschool families.

1109
02:56:08,780 --> 02:56:13,560
Again, we want them to see it in action, so we're going to orchestrate on-site field trips for

1110
02:56:13,560 --> 02:56:18,900
them to, because all of these 900 families, they're not all necessarily anti-community in

1111
02:56:18,900 --> 02:56:19,600
our community.

1112
02:56:19,600 --> 02:56:22,920
So we need a capitalized, and they've already gotten a taste of amyne.

1113
02:56:23,160 --> 02:56:26,260
So we want to make sure they see their options for dual language.

1114
02:56:26,520 --> 02:56:28,780
So we're going to have them, our 900 families.

1115
02:56:28,920 --> 02:56:35,080
We're going to offer field trips for the preschool families to visit examples at our

1116
02:56:35,080 --> 02:56:40,240
TK again at Roosevelt for the Mandarin, the Spanish program, because they have two programs

1117
02:56:40,240 --> 02:56:40,740
that are visiting.

1118
02:56:41,000 --> 02:56:46,440
Then we'll head over to Jefferson to be able to see Korean again and to just, again, just

1119
02:56:46,440 --> 02:56:46,860
highlight.

1120
02:56:47,260 --> 02:56:48,600
It's different when you see it in an action.

1121
02:56:48,600 --> 02:56:51,440
And it really just speaks volumes, I think we would all agree to that.

1122
02:56:51,860 --> 02:56:55,620
And then the third part of this is we're going to say, we're going to have parent learning

1123
02:56:55,620 --> 02:57:00,840
walks on site where our preschool families visit a TK in a K because oftentimes you may

1124
02:57:00,840 --> 02:57:02,860
have families that are going directly into kindergarten.

1125
02:57:03,220 --> 02:57:06,220
Again, we're saturating the market on every level.

1126
02:57:06,680 --> 02:57:10,960
We want them to be part of the school they're at and to stay at the school they're at.

1127
02:57:11,020 --> 02:57:16,280
If it's a right fit, so we're going to be doing parent learning walks where they, again,

1128
02:57:16,280 --> 02:57:22,780
and then visit the preschool, I mean, visit the TK and the kindergarten class at their school

1129
02:57:23,500 --> 02:57:24,020
site.

1130
02:57:26,510 --> 02:57:27,550
Thank you.

1131
02:57:28,010 --> 02:57:32,070
I was going to say that's brilliant, but actually, I was going to respond to Mark because

1132
02:57:32,070 --> 02:57:38,190
what I actually noticed as the parent from the parent end is we're at a point in the time

1133
02:57:38,950 --> 02:57:45,350
of the run of our programming where the parents are actually coaching each other, so we have

1134
02:57:45,350 --> 02:57:49,990
parents who have had multiple students come through the programming, some who have already

1135
02:57:49,990 --> 02:57:54,290
matriculated and now they have their second third graders now and they go around and

1136
02:57:54,290 --> 02:57:58,010
I've seen them, they tell the parents, okay, when they're going to get into third grade,

1137
02:57:58,010 --> 02:58:02,970
it's going to be really hard because they're not reading an English but don't worry, so

1138
02:58:02,970 --> 02:58:06,770
I've seen the parents coach each other, so that's also kind of like really priceless for me

1139
02:58:06,770 --> 02:58:13,430
to see because our programming is just, it's on a cycle, right? And so I'm glad that you're

1140
02:58:13,430 --> 02:58:18,230
doing that because we'll capture more parents and in our own system our parents are helping

1141
02:58:18,230 --> 02:58:23,070
each other out and without even us prodding them and they are coaching the other parents

1142
02:58:23,070 --> 02:58:27,850
I'm like this is worth it please stay like if it can be hard don't worry like so that's

1143
02:58:27,850 --> 02:58:31,110
what's going on to say I thought it was important for you all to hear that as well.

1144
02:58:31,770 --> 02:58:36,230
I was just adding I thank you for that reminder I know that every time that the information

1145
02:58:36,230 --> 02:58:42,510
meetings we haven't having parent testimonials as you say but now just thinking about how we can

1146
02:58:42,510 --> 02:58:45,270
corporates and parent voice into these three

1147
02:58:45,270 --> 02:58:47,910
um... facilitation that we're gonna have because

1148
02:58:47,910 --> 02:58:52,590
again it's very powerful and it's it's very authentic right when they hear from a family

1149
02:58:52,590 --> 02:58:53,730
or parent so

1150
02:58:53,730 --> 02:58:55,410
thank you for that reminder

1151
02:58:55,410 --> 02:58:57,690
yeah get some third and fourth great parents and that

1152
02:58:57,690 --> 02:59:02,470
no but to just really you know

1153
02:59:03,130 --> 02:59:05,470
that's a brilliant idea and

1154
02:59:05,470 --> 02:59:08,370
same with you know like what my colleagues are saying you know like

1155
02:59:08,370 --> 02:59:10,570
you know what one's saying as well like

1156
02:59:10,570 --> 02:59:16,030
We have a friend. I have a friend, you know, and you know as well, you know, and and basically his kids

1157
02:59:16,030 --> 02:59:19,470
You know, going to go into kindergarten and he's not within a district

1158
02:59:20,270 --> 02:59:23,650
His wife was super thrown off with the whole 90-10 model

1159
02:59:24,490 --> 02:59:29,630
About super uncomfortable even though we kept hooking and talking and talking but she teaches in another district

1160
02:59:29,630 --> 02:59:32,730
And she's like well, my district has a really good program and blah, blah, blah, blah

1161
02:59:32,730 --> 02:59:36,350
And I was like, yeah, they haven't won awards like we have which basically brings me to the other point

1162
02:59:36,350 --> 02:59:38,190
Did you tell the Golden Bells people? I'm sorry

1163
02:59:38,190 --> 02:59:42,950
where we were too busy filling out our cave or to basically submit it, but now listen

1164
02:59:42,950 --> 02:59:47,890
that it not so, but no, but it's stuff like that that we brag about and we should because

1165
02:59:47,890 --> 02:59:54,490
it's awesome stuff and people are talking about it and people who are in other districts who

1166
02:59:54,490 --> 02:59:58,350
happen to be in a different model of the 50-50, now they're stressed out because they're like

1167
02:59:58,350 --> 02:59:59,970
man, we should have sent them over to Anahemel.

1168
03:00:00,560 --> 03:00:08,960
I'm listening to your kid talking and their proficiency is just so vast, vocabulary and this sentence structure, everything about it.

1169
03:00:09,740 --> 03:00:15,720
And so as a result, I'm just really proud of this program and everything that we're doing and you're rocking it.

1170
03:00:16,980 --> 03:00:19,960
We have a lot of support. Thank you for the board and the cabinet, really.

1171
03:00:20,440 --> 03:00:25,400
Thank you. Thank you for the presentation. It's wonderful. And I'd also like to speak to the Golden Bell.

1172
03:00:25,400 --> 03:00:33,240
I know we're all really, really proud of that, and I have been a Golden Bell judge three times

1173
03:00:33,240 --> 03:00:36,360
for this district, for other districts.

1174
03:00:36,880 --> 03:00:43,120
And I know that it requires a very intense, impressive presentation.

1175
03:00:43,720 --> 03:00:49,920
There's a lot of work that goes into it, as judges were not always easy to impress, but also

1176
03:00:49,920 --> 03:00:53,840
or whoever the ones that worked on the submission,

1177
03:00:54,740 --> 03:00:56,500
just getting it written up,

1178
03:00:56,520 --> 03:00:59,340
just getting it in on time.

1179
03:01:00,180 --> 03:01:03,420
And then for, I know it's an intense interview.

1180
03:01:04,620 --> 03:01:05,480
So thank you.

1181
03:01:06,420 --> 03:01:09,220
I'm not exactly sure you said, Mughal, you were involved in it.

1182
03:01:09,780 --> 03:01:15,140
So I know what you went through to have to really,

1183
03:01:15,260 --> 03:01:17,680
and you obviously made us look really good

1184
03:01:17,680 --> 03:01:24,920
and you presented well and so to impress the judge or judges that you, you know, we're

1185
03:01:24,920 --> 03:01:29,320
we're interviewed by so thank you for that and we're just we're really proud to have this

1186
03:01:29,320 --> 03:01:31,820
and the presentation was great. Thank you both.

1187
03:01:34,600 --> 03:01:38,880
Okay, next we'll have Dr. Mary Grace our assistant

1188
03:01:38,880 --> 03:01:44,800
superintendent of educational services to give us the Williams settlement legislation presentation.

1189
03:01:48,420 --> 03:01:56,280
Thank you for President Philbeck, board members, Cabinet and the remaining community.

1190
03:01:57,520 --> 03:02:03,260
So I'm here tonight to update you on what is known as the Williams Legislation Act, which

1191
03:02:03,260 --> 03:02:08,380
was born from the Williams lawsuit or the Williams case.

1192
03:02:09,960 --> 03:02:18,880
We have been involved with the Williams Settlement Act since 2000, so for 23 years and believe

1193
03:02:18,880 --> 03:02:23,140
it or not, and I think our board members will applaud this young man.

1194
03:02:23,440 --> 03:02:32,180
In his school, he and the hundred of his fellow students and their parents decided that their

1195
03:02:32,180 --> 03:02:39,080
facilities, their textbooks, and sometimes their teachers weren't credentialed to teach

1196
03:02:39,080 --> 03:02:43,200
them the content or the subject areas.

1197
03:02:45,180 --> 03:02:50,040
So they filed a lawsuit against San Francisco School District as well as the California Department

1198
03:02:50,040 --> 03:02:50,740
of Education.

1199
03:02:52,060 --> 03:02:58,480
And the basis of the lawsuit was that as a public agency were required to provide equal access

1200
03:02:58,480 --> 03:03:02,160
to instructional materials, safe and decent facilities,

1201
03:03:02,740 --> 03:03:04,340
as well as qualified teachers.

1202
03:03:05,060 --> 03:03:09,620
And that's a picture of young Mr. Williams in sixth grade.

1203
03:03:10,340 --> 03:03:14,320
And he is the person named in the lawsuit.

1204
03:03:15,800 --> 03:03:19,180
And here's another quote from one of the young plaintiffs,

1205
03:03:19,480 --> 03:03:21,460
just because I'm in public school,

1206
03:03:21,680 --> 03:03:24,080
is not an inexcused for me to not have textbooks.

1207
03:03:24,080 --> 03:03:29,920
It's not an excuse for me to have bathrooms to be filthy, for there to be broken windows.

1208
03:03:30,540 --> 03:03:31,780
I care about my education.

1209
03:03:33,040 --> 03:03:40,060
And one thing I've been here as long as the Williams Act, and I will say that our district

1210
03:03:40,700 --> 03:03:45,040
in all of the years that the Williams Act has ever been here, we've never had a finding

1211
03:03:45,040 --> 03:03:47,700
or we've never had a complaint.

1212
03:03:47,700 --> 03:03:51,480
So, Kudos to our facilities, maintenance and operations,

1213
03:03:52,640 --> 03:03:56,620
our warehouse for the textbooks and our HR for making sure

1214
03:03:56,620 --> 03:03:59,500
we always have perfectly aligned teaching.

1215
03:04:01,240 --> 03:04:04,840
So with that, it has evolved through the years.

1216
03:04:05,060 --> 03:04:10,060
In 2000, it was based upon a school's ranking in the API.

1217
03:04:10,760 --> 03:04:14,000
We no longer have the API nor do we have the scores

1218
03:04:14,000 --> 03:04:15,820
from the test at that time.

1219
03:04:15,820 --> 03:04:44,080
So in last two years ago, they updated it with Senate Bill 1, 2, 4, 0, that schools that are eligible for comprehensive support and improvement under the every student succeeds act or schools that are eligible for additional targeted support and improvement under the same ESSA.

1220
03:04:44,080 --> 03:04:54,400
or schools with 15 percent or more of the schools with teachers that do not possess a valid and clear or preliminary teaching credentials.

1221
03:04:54,700 --> 03:04:59,540
So those are the criteria with which you become a Williams visited.

1222
03:05:01,300 --> 03:05:25,440
Currently, we have one school that is eligible and that is going elementary and it is left over from pre-pandemic, and they were eligible because of the attendance and the academic indicators on the smarter balanced test score.

1223
03:05:25,440 --> 03:05:30,800
So we're hoping that they will fall out next year, but we'll see.

1224
03:05:32,690 --> 03:05:35,270
So what are the issues covered by the Williams Act?

1225
03:05:35,490 --> 03:05:41,410
It's instructional materials, facilities, and teacher misalignment, and I think the one

1226
03:05:41,410 --> 03:05:49,790
that's most publicly facing the board and your constituents is the textbook materials.

1227
03:05:50,470 --> 03:05:56,470
Each year, within this first six weeks of the school year, we have to have a public hearing

1228
03:05:56,470 --> 03:06:02,670
declaring that we do, in fact, have textbooks for all of our students and then quarterly

1229
03:06:03,470 --> 03:06:09,130
tonight on the board agenda, we have the annual report from last year that you will be

1230
03:06:09,130 --> 03:06:14,510
accepting as well as the first quarter for this year. And what those quarterly reports are

1231
03:06:14,510 --> 03:06:23,050
is that anybody should file a complaint under these three topics. Those complaints were folded

1232
03:06:23,050 --> 03:06:27,030
into the uniform complaint procedure, so it's very similar to that.

1233
03:06:28,290 --> 03:06:36,970
And what it means by a instructional materials, it is that we have sufficient textbooks for

1234
03:06:36,970 --> 03:06:42,770
the board-educated curriculums, language arts, math, science, and social studies.

1235
03:06:43,190 --> 03:06:45,430
And remember, we have three languages.

1236
03:06:46,010 --> 03:06:50,450
So we have to ensure that we have the textbooks for all of those students and that those

1237
03:06:50,450 --> 03:06:56,690
books are available at school and at home, and you don't have to have two sets, but you

1238
03:06:56,690 --> 03:07:02,930
have to allow students to take the books home, should they need them at home. One of the

1239
03:07:02,930 --> 03:07:08,070
caveats of being in the 21st century is all of our textbook adoptions also come with digital

1240
03:07:08,070 --> 03:07:14,710
versions. So again, kudos to our district, every student in our district has a one-to-one device

1241
03:07:14,710 --> 03:07:18,750
and has access to materials, whether it's that school or at home.

1242
03:07:20,630 --> 03:07:25,490
The other area are facilities and facilities are checked.

1243
03:07:26,310 --> 03:07:29,710
The team fills out a facilities inspection tool.

1244
03:07:30,210 --> 03:07:32,470
And those are submitted annually.

1245
03:07:33,130 --> 03:07:37,510
And we put the scores for those onto a school accountability report card.

1246
03:07:37,510 --> 03:07:44,850
Each of you have a school accountability report card for a school in your trusty area.

1247
03:07:45,390 --> 03:07:48,270
I provided that for you in case you haven't seen one.

1248
03:07:50,710 --> 03:07:55,170
The school accountability report card has grown immensely.

1249
03:07:55,430 --> 03:08:01,830
It has everything from test scores to the safe school plan to facilities.

1250
03:08:01,830 --> 03:08:08,350
You know, it really is showing the public how we are doing at every single one of our schools.

1251
03:08:09,250 --> 03:08:14,090
And then recently added to the school accountability report card is this notion of teacher

1252
03:08:14,090 --> 03:08:20,950
misassignment. And I think it was about two years ago we started working with the HR department

1253
03:08:20,950 --> 03:08:26,930
and collecting the credential data and information and inputting it into a system at the state

1254
03:08:26,930 --> 03:08:30,710
that talks to cow pads, so all of this comes together

1255
03:08:30,710 --> 03:08:32,890
at the end of the year, and they let us know,

1256
03:08:33,750 --> 03:08:36,790
if there are any teachers that are not accurately assigned,

1257
03:08:37,630 --> 03:08:39,550
granted we're in elementary school district,

1258
03:08:40,250 --> 03:08:43,490
so most of our teachers have a multi-subject credential.

1259
03:08:44,890 --> 03:08:48,510
Teacher misassments are probably most prevalent in junior high and high school,

1260
03:08:48,630 --> 03:08:51,290
where they have to have those content-specific credentials.

1261
03:08:51,630 --> 03:08:53,290
But again, we rarely,

1262
03:08:54,130 --> 03:08:58,730
If ever, I'm not sure if Dean has had one in her history where we had a misalignment.

1263
03:09:00,530 --> 03:09:05,510
So the reporting requirements are instructional materials, or the resolution that you pass

1264
03:09:05,510 --> 03:09:10,670
at the beginning of the year saying that you believe we have a textbook for all of our students.

1265
03:09:11,390 --> 03:09:15,970
In addition, at Gwen and in the other school site that's on the official list,

1266
03:09:16,390 --> 03:09:18,650
the Orange County Department of Ed comes out.

1267
03:09:18,650 --> 03:09:25,870
send a team out to get to that. They go into a classroom and if there's 30 students in the

1268
03:09:25,870 --> 03:09:32,070
classroom, all the 30 students have to show their textbooks. In addition, they test the drinking

1269
03:09:32,070 --> 03:09:37,030
fountains, they test the pressure, they look at the ceiling tiles, they look at all of the areas

1270
03:09:37,030 --> 03:09:47,970
that are in that facility's inspection tool to ensure that what we say we are doing is actually

1271
03:09:48,830 --> 03:09:53,670
and then finally, the school accountability report card is where you can find this course.

1272
03:09:54,650 --> 03:09:59,870
Interesting enough when we move to local control funding formula and we have to have the LCAP.

1273
03:10:00,000 --> 03:10:22,240
Which is the local control accountability plan. There are eight state priorities that are within that plan, and the first three or four of them have to do with the Williams. We have to have textbooks. We have to have standards. We have to have good facilities. So, there's some alignment across all of the accountability from the state.

1274
03:10:24,300 --> 03:10:29,700
So, here's the tech spoke resolution within the first six weeks. And then, at a

1275
03:10:29,700 --> 03:10:36,080
School, 25% of the classrooms are physically visited by somebody at the Orange County Department of Ed.

1276
03:10:37,560 --> 03:10:41,220
And the School of Accountability Report has also evolved.

1277
03:10:41,680 --> 03:10:49,320
They've been around since 1988 and they have grown and they include demographics, school safety, climate,

1278
03:10:49,960 --> 03:10:56,240
learning information, facilities, planned improvements on the facilities, academic data,

1279
03:10:56,240 --> 03:11:02,140
class sizes, teachers, deaf information, everything about a school is held in that report card.

1280
03:11:04,100 --> 03:11:11,580
So that's a brief update, and again, each quarter you will see except a report, but

1281
03:11:11,580 --> 03:11:15,820
as long as I've been bringing you that information, there have been no complaints or exceptions.

1282
03:11:16,900 --> 03:11:17,980
So any questions?

1283
03:11:20,730 --> 03:11:23,190
Thank you, Dr. Grace. Great presentation. That's very informative,

1284
03:11:23,190 --> 03:11:25,390
that helps you because we do approve it.

1285
03:11:25,410 --> 03:11:27,410
I didn't know all the specific details of it.

1286
03:11:27,530 --> 03:11:29,070
There's a lot of legislation to sift through

1287
03:11:29,510 --> 03:11:31,230
and have that compliance with.

1288
03:11:31,830 --> 03:11:32,710
So thank you for that.

1289
03:11:32,710 --> 03:11:34,810
The one thing that I didn't want to just,

1290
03:11:34,810 --> 03:11:36,670
I don't know if the appetite is for this,

1291
03:11:36,870 --> 03:11:37,930
because it's very higher not.

1292
03:11:38,410 --> 03:11:39,590
But because you mentioned we are now

1293
03:11:39,590 --> 03:11:44,950
21st century post pandemic or post-ish pandemic.

1294
03:11:47,310 --> 03:11:48,530
In regards to textbooks,

1295
03:11:48,750 --> 03:11:50,690
because we have the one-to-one devices,

1296
03:11:51,490 --> 03:11:57,830
I suppose if the internet didn't work, you couldn't access anything online, but can we download

1297
03:11:57,830 --> 03:12:03,610
textbooks onto the computers, laptops, so that they're still accessible even if they're at home,

1298
03:12:03,690 --> 03:12:07,590
but they don't have a hotspot. Students are not able to access the internet. Whatever reason,

1299
03:12:08,830 --> 03:12:14,850
I'm thinking in terms of just budgetary concerns as well. Students are going more digital. We have AI.

1300
03:12:14,990 --> 03:12:20,190
We have digital composition. We have online resources that's kind of becoming more prevalent now.

1301
03:12:20,690 --> 03:12:24,650
I don't know how much flexibility there is in the Williams case settlement.

1302
03:12:26,170 --> 03:12:30,530
Our local assembly member had a bill AB721 about our budget notices.

1303
03:12:30,790 --> 03:12:35,050
That's intended to be a budget savings, more cost efficient, streamlined process.

1304
03:12:36,090 --> 03:12:41,050
So, I'm thinking that's the direction that we're going for other areas as well.

1305
03:12:41,370 --> 03:12:43,310
So, I don't know how feasible that would be.

1306
03:12:43,690 --> 03:12:45,690
But still, yeah, that's probably kind of preliminary.

1307
03:12:45,910 --> 03:12:49,690
We don't know where it's going to end up, but do you have any thoughts on that?

1308
03:12:49,690 --> 03:12:58,170
Yes. The text books are actually web-based, so you were dependent on the internet.

1309
03:12:58,450 --> 03:13:02,950
Thank you couldn't download onto a computer or at home or anything.

1310
03:13:04,450 --> 03:13:11,870
But I would offer a cautionary tale that there's a lot of research right now with our kids

1311
03:13:11,870 --> 03:13:21,730
to our zero to eight years old that their cognitive development is being affected by the ongoing

1312
03:13:21,730 --> 03:13:25,190
use of technology and screen time.

1313
03:13:25,630 --> 03:13:30,050
So we're actually encouraging our teachers while the kids are here with us.

1314
03:13:30,550 --> 03:13:39,030
We have the devices, but let's use them in a way that's responsible and also teaching them to collaborate with them.

1315
03:13:39,030 --> 03:13:42,370
how to use the AI, how to use them for research.

1316
03:13:43,210 --> 03:13:47,010
But really, we're really trying to model good practices

1317
03:13:47,010 --> 03:13:49,350
even with our teachers to pull back

1318
03:13:49,350 --> 03:13:51,550
from the digital presentation all the time

1319
03:13:51,550 --> 03:13:57,730
because our students need the paper trail in the classroom.

1320
03:13:58,050 --> 03:13:59,290
They need those anchor charts.

1321
03:13:59,510 --> 03:14:00,770
They need those learning tools.

1322
03:14:01,270 --> 03:14:04,690
And we have to be really cognizant of that brain development

1323
03:14:04,690 --> 03:14:12,730
and the importance of learning through books, learning through language, and learning through interaction.

1324
03:14:14,050 --> 03:14:15,250
Just my question already dealing with that.

1325
03:14:15,250 --> 03:14:19,770
Yeah, yeah, that's great. My very unscientific polls that I've taken for my own students.

1326
03:14:20,190 --> 03:14:24,430
I found a majority of them actually do prefer the old school paper and pencil,

1327
03:14:24,430 --> 03:14:27,230
so I've been able to encourage them. So I appreciate that. Thank you.

1328
03:14:27,250 --> 03:14:32,250
Yes. Thank you. Right. Thank you. Anyone else? We're good.

1329
03:14:32,490 --> 03:14:33,350
Thank you, Dr. Grace.

1330
03:14:34,950 --> 03:14:35,510
All right.

1331
03:14:35,710 --> 03:14:37,450
We're moving now into our consent calendar.

1332
03:14:38,730 --> 03:14:42,730
Item solicitor, the consent calendar, considered to be routine and are acted on by the

1333
03:14:42,730 --> 03:14:43,610
board in one motion.

1334
03:14:43,790 --> 03:14:48,910
There's no discussion of these items unless a member of the board staff or the public requests

1335
03:14:48,910 --> 03:14:53,330
specific items to be discussed and or removed from the consent calendar.

1336
03:14:53,750 --> 03:14:56,430
Are there any items to be pulled at this time?

1337
03:14:57,170 --> 03:14:57,930
Board members, anyone?

1338
03:14:59,250 --> 03:14:59,490
All right.

1339
03:14:59,490 --> 03:14:59,970
And then I will...

1340
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:02,180
Senator Tain, a motion please.

1341
03:15:02,400 --> 03:15:02,900
So moved.

1342
03:15:07,150 --> 03:15:10,930
Any discussion? All in favor? Aye.

1343
03:15:11,570 --> 03:15:11,730
Aye.

1344
03:15:11,730 --> 03:15:17,390
I hear that as unanimous. Moving into the action calendar, our superintendent's office.

1345
03:15:17,530 --> 03:15:19,310
It's recommended, this is item 1.

1346
03:15:19,770 --> 03:15:29,350
The Board of Education received the draft January 2024 through June 2025 board meeting schedule for the first reading revisions.

1347
03:15:29,350 --> 03:15:36,570
The final schedule will be brought for approval at the December 13, 2023 Annual Organizational

1348
03:15:36,570 --> 03:15:37,790
Board Meeting.

1349
03:15:38,230 --> 03:15:38,910
Motion, please.

1350
03:15:39,710 --> 03:15:40,050
So moved.

1351
03:15:41,610 --> 03:15:41,830
I'm sorry.

1352
03:15:43,650 --> 03:15:44,230
Discussion?

1353
03:15:45,950 --> 03:15:46,550
All in favor?

1354
03:15:47,190 --> 03:15:47,370
Aye.

1355
03:15:48,350 --> 03:15:48,470
Aye.

1356
03:15:48,470 --> 03:15:50,210
I hear no opposed or abstained.

1357
03:15:51,810 --> 03:15:55,230
Item two, it's recommended the Board of Education accept nominations for the California

1358
03:15:55,230 --> 03:15:59,270
School Board Association, CSBA, delegate assembly for region 15.

1359
03:15:59,270 --> 03:16:07,830
CSBA delegates serve two year terms, and those elected in 2024 will serve beginning April 1st,

1360
03:16:09,050 --> 03:16:20,250
2024 through March 31st, 2020. I was reelected in 23 and my term expires in March of 25.

1361
03:16:20,250 --> 03:16:21,990
I'll move to discuss item.

1362
03:16:22,930 --> 03:16:23,370
Second.

1363
03:16:25,660 --> 03:16:26,760
Jackie, do you want you to do it again?

1364
03:16:28,720 --> 03:16:29,400
I'm sorry, Juan.

1365
03:16:29,800 --> 03:16:30,780
You were the emotion.

1366
03:16:30,780 --> 03:16:31,140
Emotion.

1367
03:16:31,520 --> 03:16:32,780
And who was my second?

1368
03:16:33,360 --> 03:16:33,520
Mark.

1369
03:16:34,320 --> 03:16:34,480
Thank you.

1370
03:16:34,680 --> 03:16:34,920
Okay.

1371
03:16:35,100 --> 03:16:35,680
For a discussion?

1372
03:16:36,580 --> 03:16:37,760
My question to you.

1373
03:16:38,820 --> 03:16:39,420
President Phil, that.

1374
03:16:39,500 --> 03:16:40,800
Are you interested in anyone in the name?

1375
03:16:41,300 --> 03:16:42,020
I already.

1376
03:16:42,580 --> 03:16:42,920
I'm not.

1377
03:16:43,020 --> 03:16:43,760
For this one.

1378
03:16:43,880 --> 03:16:44,220
Because I.

1379
03:16:44,380 --> 03:16:46,220
I know that person in the different cycle.

1380
03:16:46,440 --> 03:16:46,800
That's right.

1381
03:16:47,040 --> 03:16:47,400
Yes.

1382
03:16:47,440 --> 03:16:48,720
We have different cycles.

1383
03:16:48,720 --> 03:17:04,760
And I do have a recommendation if it wouldn't be me because I don't these are these are the I believe the applications that are do January 7th of 2025 and so we just like board members have

1384
03:17:04,760 --> 03:17:06,980
off election years.

1385
03:17:07,500 --> 03:17:13,800
So that's why it's noted that I was just reelected last year, I mean this year.

1386
03:17:14,800 --> 03:17:21,900
So I'm currently serving a term that is not up until 25, but there is, and if you do,

1387
03:17:22,060 --> 03:17:27,240
you can recommend someone in, from any of the boards, as long as the region 15, but you

1388
03:17:27,240 --> 03:17:31,760
have to have gotten their permission, you have to have gotten their acceptance, and I have

1389
03:17:31,760 --> 03:17:39,320
person who I have spoken to, and who is up, and that is Ann Marie Randall Trejo. So I would

1390
03:17:39,320 --> 03:17:42,440
like to put her nomination forward.

1391
03:17:44,780 --> 03:17:49,840
I agree. Mark's like in that moment. Okay, and if anybody

1392
03:17:49,840 --> 03:17:55,940
has any others that you have spoken to are gotten there consent, but that was, it did some research,

1393
03:17:56,160 --> 03:18:02,080
that was pretty much the only one that I know that should be coming up for the election in March,

1394
03:18:02,860 --> 03:18:05,520
because her term is up in 24.

1395
03:18:07,380 --> 03:18:07,420
So.

1396
03:18:07,500 --> 03:18:07,960
Okay.

1397
03:18:08,340 --> 03:18:08,720
I agree.

1398
03:18:09,240 --> 03:18:09,440
Okay.

1399
03:18:10,140 --> 03:18:14,170
So then do I need to have that motion include her name or,

1400
03:18:15,960 --> 03:18:17,660
So Mr. Overs will you include the,

1401
03:18:18,380 --> 03:18:20,260
redo your motion to include her.

1402
03:18:20,260 --> 03:18:20,580
Okay.

1403
03:18:21,020 --> 03:18:22,920
So I think you, you mean the motion to nominate her.

1404
03:18:23,400 --> 03:18:23,980
Okay.

1405
03:18:24,500 --> 03:18:26,060
Okay. So I'll nominate Amber.

1406
03:18:26,180 --> 03:18:26,920
Randall Trehill.

1407
03:18:29,140 --> 03:18:29,380
Okay.

1408
03:18:29,640 --> 03:18:30,620
And that's it?

1409
03:18:32,880 --> 03:18:37,460
Yeah, but nobody else, anybody want to cut anybody off of anybody else at any, okay.

1410
03:18:37,760 --> 03:18:42,480
All right, so all in favor, no post, no abstain,

1411
03:18:45,130 --> 03:18:45,130
okay.

1412
03:18:45,590 --> 03:18:49,510
All right, next into our educational services item one.

1413
03:18:49,930 --> 03:18:55,630
It's recommended the Board of Education adopt a resolution number two zero two three dash two four slash two six

1414
03:18:55,630 --> 03:19:01,510
to approve the submission of the continued funding application to renew the current

1415
03:19:01,510 --> 03:19:07,670
2023-24 state of California Child Development Contract, California Department of Education,

1416
03:19:08,070 --> 03:19:13,310
California State Pre-School Program, and the California Pre-Canagarden and Family Literacy

1417
03:19:13,310 --> 03:19:18,770
Support Agreements and Automatically Renew for the fiscal year 2025.

1418
03:19:18,770 --> 03:19:19,930
So moved.

1419
03:19:20,710 --> 03:19:21,270
Second, however.

1420
03:19:24,410 --> 03:19:24,970
Discussion?

1421
03:19:26,450 --> 03:19:27,070
All in favor?

1422
03:19:27,290 --> 03:19:27,850
Aye.

1423
03:19:28,330 --> 03:19:29,930
I hear that as unanimous.

1424
03:19:30,090 --> 03:19:30,970
Hang on one second.

1425
03:19:32,030 --> 03:19:32,970
We catch up to something.

1426
03:19:39,350 --> 03:19:39,590
Okay.

1427
03:19:40,010 --> 03:19:41,270
Motion is passed.

1428
03:19:42,770 --> 03:19:46,910
We don't have anything for Selpa this evening, but into our human resources.

1429
03:19:47,070 --> 03:19:50,610
Our first item is it is recommended the Board of Education to prove.

1430
03:19:50,610 --> 03:19:57,150
The 2024-25 school calendar has presented an exhibit 9D.1.

1431
03:19:57,230 --> 03:19:57,810
So moved.

1432
03:19:58,130 --> 03:19:58,670
Thank you.

1433
03:19:58,910 --> 03:19:59,570
Second, Lopez.

1434
03:20:01,980 --> 03:20:16,620
Discussion? All in favour? Aye, aye. Unanimous? There are no administrative services items. So now we're moving into our board discussion and we will start with Mr. Alvarez.

1435
03:20:17,500 --> 03:20:29,260
Thank you, Board President. All right, I'm going to begin with 100 anniversary of the fall festival, right? I think most of my colleagues would agree that's one of our favorite times together every year, right?

1436
03:20:29,260 --> 03:20:36,260
So much fun to see so many of us come together just to have a blast out there and these represent the district in the community

1437
03:20:36,260 --> 03:20:44,280
Really fun to be out in the parade and participate in the parade just to see the crowd from the other end right from the parade out

1438
03:20:45,800 --> 03:20:47,700
I think we we've

1439
03:20:48,280 --> 03:20:59,240
We've started become a crowd pleaser with our band right so I think the community kind of expects our kids out there and they're always cheering us on and I

1440
03:20:59,240 --> 03:21:04,460
recognize the songs like baby shark and also dancing around so I really appreciate that.

1441
03:21:04,600 --> 03:21:10,200
And I think it's just something that we just continue doing, which I don't think we'll ever stop.

1442
03:21:11,500 --> 03:21:14,980
It's become a tradition for a long time.

1443
03:21:15,320 --> 03:21:21,320
And I just really appreciate that the time and the effort that all of our teachers or music teacher,

1444
03:21:21,580 --> 03:21:25,060
and everyone behind the scenes takes to make it all come together right.

1445
03:21:25,060 --> 03:21:31,100
about a pre-planning and logistics to facilitate, so let's appreciate it. So thank you to everyone

1446
03:21:31,100 --> 03:21:36,220
who has involved with that. November 3rd, I was able to spend a little bit of time at the

1447
03:21:36,220 --> 03:21:41,760
idea that was more those in the Native community culture. I'm glad you got moved to the Pearson Park

1448
03:21:41,760 --> 03:21:47,280
venue. I really do appreciate the investment of the teachers and the staff who are working with the

1449
03:21:47,280 --> 03:21:53,760
students to collaborate on a majority of the artwork being student-created, right? So that's something

1450
03:21:53,760 --> 03:21:58,460
I've been seeing shift, and I think it's worthwhile.

1451
03:21:59,260 --> 03:22:02,120
I know a horse man even got, by grade level,

1452
03:22:02,220 --> 03:22:05,160
whom would he deal with kids did a piece of artwork

1453
03:22:05,160 --> 03:22:06,820
based on the grade level to contribute

1454
03:22:06,820 --> 03:22:08,180
to the thought that they created,

1455
03:22:08,680 --> 03:22:10,100
and that was pretty smart and creative.

1456
03:22:10,700 --> 03:22:12,460
There's some artwork that I haven't seen before

1457
03:22:12,460 --> 03:22:14,460
from some school sites, like I saw some

1458
03:22:14,460 --> 03:22:16,520
tiling work that one of the school sites

1459
03:22:16,520 --> 03:22:19,380
put up on the back splash of the wall that they created.

1460
03:22:20,040 --> 03:22:22,760
So just really amazed by the amount of cultural

1461
03:22:22,760 --> 03:22:30,100
our work and creativity that's being being put out there by our schools, to make sure that every event is unique.

1462
03:22:30,920 --> 03:22:39,640
And every year the students, although our experiencing the same event, our experiencing it differently and providing something else to offer to our families and our visitors.

1463
03:22:39,820 --> 03:22:46,400
Because there's people from out of 99 coming to visit to showcase all the amazing work that we continue to do with our kids, right?

1464
03:22:46,400 --> 03:22:52,340
So for me, it's all about the kids that day, and it shows off that our staff and our teachers

1465
03:22:52,340 --> 03:22:57,160
and our collaborators are supporting the kids and being the star, right?

1466
03:22:57,460 --> 03:22:59,620
To me, the kids are going to start that day.

1467
03:22:59,820 --> 03:23:01,400
So that's really good to see that.

1468
03:23:02,120 --> 03:23:05,380
On November 6th, we went to the Orange County Teacher of the Year Awards.

1469
03:23:05,420 --> 03:23:09,640
So I just want to commend Erin Lee and with Mona Harky, right?

1470
03:23:09,960 --> 03:23:13,140
To our teachers that were kind of recognized that evening.

1471
03:23:14,480 --> 03:23:23,040
Also kind of one of those things where it's a great time to spend with district folks and the teachers there taking photos and just having dinner and it's your chatting

1472
03:23:23,040 --> 03:23:28,020
So I'm really happy that we're able to attend and support our teachers. Every time we go to the event

1473
03:23:28,020 --> 03:23:35,240
It just it pulls on my heart string so you hear the stories right and to play the videos of some of the teachers that do a lot of great work

1474
03:23:36,260 --> 03:23:43,120
And I'm a teacher at heart. That's my that's my perfect that's why I'm a teacher. So it's always kind of just bringing me back and centers me to like the purpose of

1475
03:23:43,720 --> 03:23:45,860
existing even in this room here, right?

1476
03:23:46,240 --> 03:23:48,100
We exist to support kids and families

1477
03:23:48,100 --> 03:23:49,960
and to make sure that we're creating humans

1478
03:23:49,960 --> 03:23:50,860
that are going to be productive

1479
03:23:52,200 --> 03:23:53,140
and positive,

1480
03:23:53,180 --> 03:23:54,740
continuous source of society, right?

1481
03:23:54,940 --> 03:23:56,520
So it just kind of always brings me back

1482
03:23:56,520 --> 03:23:58,060
so I love going to that event as well.

1483
03:23:58,560 --> 03:24:00,160
So it turns out that October is

1484
03:24:00,160 --> 03:24:03,460
a really cool kind of super packed, busy,

1485
03:24:04,820 --> 03:24:07,040
stressful time of year for everybody,

1486
03:24:07,220 --> 03:24:08,960
but then also kind of always centers me

1487
03:24:08,960 --> 03:24:10,800
back to the purpose of our life, right?

1488
03:24:11,500 --> 03:24:20,000
So I'm always glad that it's like we go over the hump, but we go over the hump to then be reflective on what we do, so great time with you.

1489
03:24:20,600 --> 03:24:26,840
And see, I also want to congratulate Horace Mann got a visit from the Kobe for the field of excellence.

1490
03:24:27,200 --> 03:24:36,740
I just wanted to give Kudos to the staff there. Also, I know it's a lot of hard work to get a visitor to come and see your school and make sure that we're presenting all the good things that we're doing.

1491
03:24:36,740 --> 03:24:42,380
I'm crossing my fingers at horse nine gets the seal of excellence. We'll see we'll find out soon and that concludes my report

1492
03:24:48,980 --> 03:24:55,820
Well, yeah, but I sure this might this is probably the first and last time I took a page at a President of Philbex book

1493
03:24:55,820 --> 03:24:59,980
Playbook this week. So just a couple of pictures. I'll go

1494
03:25:00,000 --> 03:25:07,320
We'll go through this briefly. There are no particular order, but I will do my presentation in chronological order, just because I have to do that.

1495
03:25:08,320 --> 03:25:12,540
But on October 18, I was able to attend with Dr. Makales, President Philbeck.

1496
03:25:12,720 --> 03:25:29,980
We were at the AXA OCSBA Joint Dinner, which is a great event, getting to see some other board members from around the county, getting to hear a great keynote from Katie McLeary, who had a book called Bridges the Gap, which I was able to secure a copy, which was great.

1497
03:25:29,980 --> 03:25:39,020
Talking about just working in leadership and a variety of different people, different capacities and really different emotional states that people can be in and

1498
03:25:39,020 --> 03:25:43,200
We're really in a people business. So I think that's really an important message

1499
03:25:44,160 --> 03:25:50,900
So I can't wait to start that book. I have been a couple weeks. So I'm a little bit derelict in my reading. I've been a pretty busy month

1500
03:25:52,260 --> 03:25:57,820
But they did I have a couple for everybody. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, the finger traps

1501
03:26:00,160 --> 03:26:06,780
Great message. You had to be there for that. I suppose but the next day I was able to stop by Paul Revere Park

1502
03:26:06,780 --> 03:26:13,160
Which is right next door to Paul Revere Elementary. We had an anti-mobile family resource center that was there providing a lot of resources

1503
03:26:13,160 --> 03:26:14,820
I was able to make it a very end

1504
03:26:14,820 --> 03:26:19,700
But it looked like it was a very good turnout because all the resources were pretty much gone by time I got there

1505
03:26:20,600 --> 03:26:22,200
following day October 20th

1506
03:26:23,160 --> 03:26:24,040
Councilmember Leone

1507
03:26:24,040 --> 03:26:29,000
held his chunker treat, which was mentioned earlier at a E.O.A.

1508
03:26:29,000 --> 03:26:32,220
I know a couple of my board colleagues were able to make that as well.

1509
03:26:32,500 --> 03:26:37,820
I just want to thank Geraldine Garcia in the Avalos and our custodial staff for making that happen.

1510
03:26:38,180 --> 03:26:46,700
And our district staff for helping coordinate that and principal Dori for helping make that a reality for our students.

1511
03:26:47,120 --> 03:26:49,000
So talking about running out of things, we ran out of candy.

1512
03:26:49,140 --> 03:26:51,100
I think in the first half hour of the event.

1513
03:26:51,620 --> 03:26:56,080
So they need to do a resupply on the fly to make sure that all of our families were.

1514
03:26:56,980 --> 03:27:00,800
It's a good problem to have a special thing, so I want to give a shout out right there in the

1515
03:27:00,800 --> 03:27:01,060
center.

1516
03:27:01,240 --> 03:27:05,240
I know Matt Slusher's not here tonight, but he's here with us in spirit, so I wanted to

1517
03:27:05,240 --> 03:27:08,840
make sure that the Slusher's the whole family was there in support.

1518
03:27:10,080 --> 03:27:12,200
So thank you for coming to that as well.

1519
03:27:12,480 --> 03:27:19,540
October 24th, Dr. Magales and President Phil Beck, we were at the ELO P lights on.

1520
03:27:20,140 --> 03:27:25,980
It was a dance break dancing performance, music, drums, I know President Phil Beck was

1521
03:27:25,980 --> 03:27:33,660
ready to jump on stage. At one point. Yeah. Well, I'm going to include that next time.

1522
03:27:35,320 --> 03:27:40,800
October 25th, I got here to the LCAP meeting, which I was really proud of myself because

1523
03:27:40,800 --> 03:27:46,780
it's the first time I'd been here on time. But I had to leave early because I had another

1524
03:27:46,780 --> 03:27:53,080
trunk or tree event at Orange Grove. So it was number crunching the data or passing out candy.

1525
03:27:53,080 --> 03:27:58,180
So it was one of the other had to make a quick decision, but I will tell you the passing

1526
03:27:58,180 --> 03:27:58,660
out candy.

1527
03:27:58,700 --> 03:28:00,100
That was a lot harder than it looks.

1528
03:28:00,900 --> 03:28:05,560
I was constantly the staff, the kids were coming up, long lines, you know, it was my first

1529
03:28:05,560 --> 03:28:06,120
day.

1530
03:28:06,440 --> 03:28:10,620
I was there as a trainee, and I was falling behind on a lot of passing out candy.

1531
03:28:11,600 --> 03:28:14,940
So it was, it's, okay, taking notes, taking notes from next year.

1532
03:28:15,900 --> 03:28:23,060
So it was a great turnout, a lot of very creative costumes, a lot of creative car trunks.

1533
03:28:23,060 --> 03:28:29,120
the designs on the trunks for great, very nostalgic, and a lot of them brought back a lot of memories.

1534
03:28:30,320 --> 03:28:36,180
And then, right after that, I was able to join Dr. Magalus for the Anaheim Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.

1535
03:28:37,900 --> 03:28:44,400
So, we were at the Brokers Community Center as the exefficio and alternate exefficio members.

1536
03:28:45,320 --> 03:28:50,840
So, listening in on all the great things having our parks, I'll let Dr. Magalus share a little bit more on that.

1537
03:28:50,840 --> 03:28:58,840
If you'd like, and October 28th we did have as my colleague mentioned the fall parade, which is always a great festive event.

1538
03:28:59,940 --> 03:29:01,580
You're really getting our steps in.

1539
03:29:02,120 --> 03:29:04,980
It's a lot of preparation, coordination.

1540
03:29:05,260 --> 03:29:09,980
I know with all the different school sites, making sure the families are there.

1541
03:29:10,160 --> 03:29:15,000
The bus that I want to thank our drivers for making sure that we had to go back and forth through a couple sites,

1542
03:29:15,000 --> 03:29:19,160
Ross and particular, and we had a lot more parents than we expected,

1543
03:29:19,160 --> 03:29:21,120
which was great to have the turnout,

1544
03:29:21,300 --> 03:29:23,680
but making sure that we got everybody there on time,

1545
03:29:24,020 --> 03:29:26,920
just the logistics of it, really appreciate our staff

1546
03:29:26,920 --> 03:29:28,180
working together on that.

1547
03:29:28,200 --> 03:29:31,860
And it's great to see the community along the side

1548
03:29:31,860 --> 03:29:33,500
of the line to along the street.

1549
03:29:33,580 --> 03:29:36,520
I had a couple of students, the following week, tell me,

1550
03:29:36,780 --> 03:29:37,840
I saw you in the parade.

1551
03:29:38,400 --> 03:29:40,360
So just getting to see, I know a lot of us

1552
03:29:40,360 --> 03:29:44,320
we were being called by people in the crowd saying,

1553
03:29:44,580 --> 03:29:46,900
oh, hey, how are you, you know, good to see you?

1554
03:29:46,900 --> 03:29:53,520
so that was really encouraging just to see how the community really came together and then

1555
03:29:53,520 --> 03:29:59,980
October 31st I was able to get over here because I had my top gun costume.

1556
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:10,260
On October 31st, over here, to our district, our dots of Halloween event that we had getting to see all the altars or

1557
03:30:10,260 --> 03:30:20,440
offenders that were here. Just for a very brief break into my lunchtime, I was able to see all the creative costumes that our staff had as well,

1558
03:30:20,600 --> 03:30:24,700
which was very encouraging. Seeing everybody getting in the spirit of that.

1559
03:30:25,800 --> 03:30:32,760
And then I was also able to stop by Mother of the next year on the Ponderosa community.

1560
03:30:33,400 --> 03:30:38,420
They had their second annual festival of sweets they called it in the community where they actually

1561
03:30:38,420 --> 03:30:40,580
able to pass out of the backpacks.

1562
03:30:41,280 --> 03:30:45,700
We had been able to secure so thank you Dr. Grace for helping coordinate that.

1563
03:30:45,720 --> 03:30:47,200
They appreciated it.

1564
03:30:47,320 --> 03:30:48,140
Great turnout.

1565
03:30:48,280 --> 03:30:53,360
Lots of games, prizes, of course, candy was being passed out, registration for different

1566
03:30:53,360 --> 03:30:56,000
events that were coming up.

1567
03:30:56,240 --> 03:30:57,340
So that was a great event.

1568
03:30:57,960 --> 03:31:01,020
November 2nd, I was at the Anaheim Cemetery

1569
03:31:01,020 --> 03:31:04,640
for the Orange County Cemetery District.

1570
03:31:04,840 --> 03:31:08,320
I was hosting an event with their Commission Vice Chair

1571
03:31:08,320 --> 03:31:10,460
Cynthia Ward, was there.

1572
03:31:10,720 --> 03:31:13,640
And they had a lot of folk-loaded code answers,

1573
03:31:14,080 --> 03:31:17,420
Mariachi, and the staff there, I had a conversation

1574
03:31:17,420 --> 03:31:20,080
with, had offered to provide tours.

1575
03:31:20,280 --> 03:31:21,660
They provided tours during the day.

1576
03:31:21,660 --> 03:31:28,460
I know on our third grade we have a lot of Anaheim history that's going on so we might

1577
03:31:28,460 --> 03:31:34,900
explore as a possibility at some future date to year-round so they're happy to help

1578
03:31:34,900 --> 03:31:36,620
and coordinate something on that.

1579
03:31:36,760 --> 03:31:41,700
November 3rd we had the day of the dead event at Pearson Park which was a different site

1580
03:31:41,700 --> 03:31:45,480
than it has been in past years but it seemed like everybody enjoyed it there.

1581
03:31:45,480 --> 03:31:51,620
There was a big stage for performances, there was a lot of people there, there were some

1582
03:31:51,620 --> 03:32:00,200
areas where we got a little congested at times, but everybody enjoyed it, made it work, and I think everyone's looking forward to it next year whether it's there or it's back at the downtown community center.

1583
03:32:01,240 --> 03:32:05,400
Our schools really represented again at this event.

1584
03:32:06,160 --> 03:32:10,880
So always proud to see that, the students who are there at the staff, turning out as well.

1585
03:32:11,100 --> 03:32:21,580
And then November 6th, of course, as we've mentioned, the teacher of the year,

1586
03:32:21,580 --> 03:32:26,900
many, all of our teachers could be nominated for that, because they all put in that work

1587
03:32:26,900 --> 03:32:31,840
and, unfortunately, we're limited in the number of nominations that we get every year,

1588
03:32:32,160 --> 03:32:34,220
but it always makes me think about it.

1589
03:32:34,220 --> 03:32:39,540
How much work all of our staff put in and would all be qualified to be there.

1590
03:32:39,720 --> 03:32:43,800
So I just want to say thank you to all of our staff, all of our teachers for all the hard

1591
03:32:43,800 --> 03:32:45,240
work that they do every day.

1592
03:32:45,240 --> 03:32:53,220
And then yesterday morning, finally, I was able to, I attended a staff professional development

1593
03:32:53,220 --> 03:32:59,840
meeting at Paul Rivera-Mentry. So I think Mrs. Salis for helping coordinate that carving

1594
03:32:59,840 --> 03:33:06,280
out a little bit of time just to meet with the staff briefly. They were had a PD, so I didn't

1595
03:33:06,280 --> 03:33:10,560
want to take up too much of their time. But it won't be the last time that I attend as well visit

1596
03:33:10,560 --> 03:33:14,640
their site of course. So I just wanted to go in because there's a lot of new staff that come

1597
03:33:14,640 --> 03:33:21,360
and out of different sites, so don't presume that everyone knows who I am when I walk on

1598
03:33:21,360 --> 03:33:26,200
to a campus. As was evidence, my first got there, their parent leaders said, who are you?

1599
03:33:26,300 --> 03:33:30,680
I had my badge, they still made me check in at the front office. I want to say thank you for the

1600
03:33:30,680 --> 03:33:36,540
great security, single point of entry, so it's working. And I also got the practice capturing

1601
03:33:36,540 --> 03:33:42,780
kids' hearts, so I was at the door greeting the staff, you know, this bumps and all that, so I was

1602
03:33:42,780 --> 03:33:48,600
assistant greeter yesterday I think I passed so anyway with that I'll conclude my remarks

1603
03:33:48,600 --> 03:33:50,020
so thank you

1604
03:33:55,010 --> 03:34:03,790
thank you madam President yeah a very busy month in October like I say

1605
03:34:03,790 --> 03:34:10,830
every time super impressed with my councilman Carlisle on I did attend his trunk or

1606
03:34:10,830 --> 03:34:16,730
treat event at our Anna I'm Elementary Online Academy site I know that it was done

1607
03:34:16,730 --> 03:34:23,490
last minute so I really want to tell all of our staff at A-E-O-A, thank you so much.

1608
03:34:23,590 --> 03:34:27,250
I know a lot of them stayed until the very end late at night.

1609
03:34:27,470 --> 03:34:32,190
I did talk to the custodial staff and thank them because it's not easy to do something

1610
03:34:32,190 --> 03:34:39,990
last minute, especially Halloween, but what I really loved in particular about this event

1611
03:34:39,990 --> 03:34:42,750
was that it was culturally relevant, right?

1612
03:34:42,750 --> 03:34:47,730
Often times in communities, they look down on low-right or cars, they look down on

1613
03:34:49,350 --> 03:34:57,790
certain cultures, but that is our families, right? And it was just beautiful to see that we were looking at

1614
03:34:58,830 --> 03:34:59,970
these beautiful cars

1615
03:35:00,000 --> 03:35:29,020
As an asset, to tell their stories, to be proud of the culture, even though it's not part of my culture. I learned a lot. I ask questions. I actually want to low writer now. But it's just beautiful to see that, right? Because that's us, district two. So thank you, Carlos Leon, for putting together an amazing event. I also ask questions of, you know, because it was successful, it was very packed.

1616
03:35:30,000 --> 03:35:37,860
It's interesting, I don't have kids, and I was asking families why do you come, just because

1617
03:35:37,860 --> 03:35:42,980
I asked questions, and they were saying, you know, honestly lately it's just, this is the

1618
03:35:42,980 --> 03:35:44,120
safest bet, right?

1619
03:35:44,160 --> 03:35:49,820
We know a lot of the community members here, with a lot of things happening in the world,

1620
03:35:50,300 --> 03:35:56,020
and with candies, and you know, they feel safer, you know, going chunk or treating versus

1621
03:35:56,020 --> 03:36:04,000
door to door. So, it was just something that I learned from that event. Yeah, the OC teacher,

1622
03:36:04,260 --> 03:36:11,000
the year event was awesome. Congratulations, Erin Lee. Congratulations, Mona. Harkie, again, I wish

1623
03:36:11,000 --> 03:36:19,840
we could, you know, give more awards to a lot of our amazing teachers at AESD, great food. Thank

1624
03:36:19,840 --> 03:36:27,000
school's first and thank you to Orange County Department of Education for putting together this

1625
03:36:27,000 --> 03:36:34,440
and annual event. The city's there, the dead, event at Pearson Park was awesome. I didn't

1626
03:36:34,440 --> 03:36:40,120
stay in the evening but I did go on the right when it started and what was really cool was

1627
03:36:40,120 --> 03:36:49,950
that before the students were about to present the pride of the families in dressing up their

1628
03:36:49,950 --> 03:36:57,550
waters and sons and the makeup and all the amount of work that was done in preparing for

1629
03:36:57,550 --> 03:37:04,790
their presentations which is so beautiful. Some of our staff came up to me and they started

1630
03:37:04,790 --> 03:37:12,430
to just educate me about the different dresses, right, that all the different schools chose

1631
03:37:12,430 --> 03:37:18,710
to wear, that they were from different parts of Mexico and I was just blown away every year

1632
03:37:18,710 --> 03:37:24,510
October, and I know that the Ouelless Mortos is like last last week I went to an event

1633
03:37:24,510 --> 03:37:32,690
every single night in LA and in Anaheim, and I'm always learning new things about this beautiful

1634
03:37:32,690 --> 03:37:38,970
tradition. Filipino celebrate something similar, called All Saints Day. I know it's very similar

1635
03:37:38,970 --> 03:37:46,130
to the Ouelless Mortos someone educated me about that, and again, it's just so grateful, great job

1636
03:37:46,130 --> 03:37:52,630
to all of our parents, to put all the althas, althas, althas, althas, althas, althas.

1637
03:37:53,050 --> 03:37:57,170
Together, they are beautiful, so again, a great event

1638
03:37:57,170 --> 03:38:01,390
and thank you to the Anand Community Services for putting that together.

1639
03:38:02,050 --> 03:38:03,870
I also went to my old alma mater.

1640
03:38:04,330 --> 03:38:05,870
I typically go there a year for the alothas,

1641
03:38:05,990 --> 03:38:08,750
because we have Madison students that also create althas.

1642
03:38:09,010 --> 03:38:11,130
So it was great to see some of our Madison students there,

1643
03:38:11,230 --> 03:38:12,750
which is right across the street from Moera,

1644
03:38:12,750 --> 03:38:21,710
And they had a beautiful event with some of our students also performing in their dancing as well.

1645
03:38:22,370 --> 03:38:23,970
The street beat was really cool.

1646
03:38:25,070 --> 03:38:26,970
A great job, Madam President on dancing.

1647
03:38:27,110 --> 03:38:31,170
I have you recorded and maybe I'll ask permission to see if we could show it next board meeting.

1648
03:38:32,450 --> 03:38:36,870
But again, what I loved, it's not just about dance, right?

1649
03:38:36,870 --> 03:38:38,170
Which in itself is beautiful.

1650
03:38:38,170 --> 03:38:44,890
I love that this group was educating the students about the history of hip hop, all four elements,

1651
03:38:45,170 --> 03:38:51,070
not just about the music, but the dancing, the beats, its origins, why they do what?

1652
03:38:51,490 --> 03:38:53,250
Again, it goes back to education.

1653
03:38:53,510 --> 03:38:54,290
So I love that.

1654
03:38:54,990 --> 03:39:00,090
So great job, Dr. Moreno, for hiring Street Beat.

1655
03:39:00,090 --> 03:39:01,130
They did great.

1656
03:39:01,130 --> 03:39:05,210
and our cabinet, and Dr. Mary Grace.

1657
03:39:05,650 --> 03:39:06,950
I really liked that.

1658
03:39:06,970 --> 03:39:08,710
Maybe one day I couldn't go up there and break

1659
03:39:08,710 --> 03:39:09,370
against with them.

1660
03:39:11,110 --> 03:39:14,290
The city of Anaheim Fall Parade was awesome.

1661
03:39:15,030 --> 03:39:18,330
You know, I, my back went out a couple of weeks ago,

1662
03:39:18,470 --> 03:39:21,010
and I tried my best to walk the whole thing,

1663
03:39:21,250 --> 03:39:22,070
but I just couldn't.

1664
03:39:22,290 --> 03:39:24,850
So one, thank you so much for allowing me

1665
03:39:24,850 --> 03:39:26,730
to jump on the cart from time to time,

1666
03:39:27,090 --> 03:39:29,750
but it was just so great to see our community members

1667
03:39:29,750 --> 03:39:37,590
out there and all of our kids, great job. I'm so proud of you every year. We do that event

1668
03:39:37,590 --> 03:39:42,850
and all of our music teachers, our cabinet for putting it all together. Thank you so much.

1669
03:39:42,950 --> 03:39:47,150
I know there's a lot that goes in. I know that working with the city because they change things

1670
03:39:47,150 --> 03:39:52,370
every single year with regards to logistics and I know when it comes to change and an event such

1671
03:39:52,370 --> 03:39:58,130
as this parade, it's just all lot. So please thank you so much for putting that all together.

1672
03:39:58,130 --> 03:39:59,230
I'm so grateful.

1673
03:40:01,460 --> 03:40:20,960
The OCSBA event in dinner was awesome. There was in the Irvine Marriott and one thing that I took away from the speaker was that it's, and when I was talking about the finger traps, I know that it seems so, you know, cheesy, what about finger traps, right?

1674
03:40:21,180 --> 03:40:28,220
It's like oftentimes in organizations when it works with people, and especially nowadays with this new generation we tend to go back.

1675
03:40:28,220 --> 03:40:31,500
when there's an issue or problem of conflict, the personal thing.

1676
03:40:33,020 --> 03:40:36,220
But the message of the presenter was you need to move in.

1677
03:40:36,440 --> 03:40:38,920
You need to have conversations, critical conversations,

1678
03:40:39,480 --> 03:40:43,300
difficult conversations, engage with staff at all levels.

1679
03:40:44,660 --> 03:40:46,500
Of course, it's important to have your balance too.

1680
03:40:47,160 --> 03:40:50,520
But when you go behind, it just makes it tighter and harder.

1681
03:40:50,700 --> 03:40:54,960
But when you pull in, it's easier for the whole organization to work well.

1682
03:40:54,960 --> 03:40:56,700
So that's what I took away from that.

1683
03:40:56,700 --> 03:40:58,080
It was also a great dinner.

1684
03:40:59,040 --> 03:41:00,880
Parks and Rec meeting was also awesome.

1685
03:41:01,060 --> 03:41:03,220
It was great to, I think they're starting to go,

1686
03:41:03,460 --> 03:41:05,700
wow, you know, now the board members are starting to come.

1687
03:41:06,840 --> 03:41:10,440
And so it was great to learn about what our parks are doing

1688
03:41:10,960 --> 03:41:14,080
in relationship with us and our community agreements.

1689
03:41:14,860 --> 03:41:17,920
So it was great to be there at the Brookhurst Community Center.

1690
03:41:19,780 --> 03:41:21,960
Also, I did a presentation.

1691
03:41:22,240 --> 03:41:24,440
I was invited to be one of the final panel speakers

1692
03:41:24,440 --> 03:41:27,380
at the Konakai Resort in San Diego,

1693
03:41:27,980 --> 03:41:30,040
at the California Council for Teacher Education.

1694
03:41:30,520 --> 03:41:32,560
So I did mainly in my research,

1695
03:41:32,820 --> 03:41:33,860
but whenever I share my research,

1696
03:41:34,120 --> 03:41:35,620
I also share about Crest now.

1697
03:41:35,820 --> 03:41:38,560
Again, verbatim words that come from our presenters

1698
03:41:39,080 --> 03:41:43,100
and acknowledging our staff for that as well.

1699
03:41:43,720 --> 03:41:47,260
Lastly, and I was debating about talking about this,

1700
03:41:47,680 --> 03:41:51,920
but I could not not talk about this as an elected official.

1701
03:41:54,960 --> 03:41:56,460
First and foremost,

1702
03:41:59,350 --> 03:42:04,870
I'd like to give my thoughts and prayers to the 1400 Israelis who were killed.

1703
03:42:05,690 --> 03:42:12,570
The 241 Israelis who were kidnapped and the 10,000-plus Palestinians who were killed since October 7.

1704
03:42:14,490 --> 03:42:24,150
Like millions of people across the globe, I am deeply concerned of the fate of all the people and children, both Israeli and Palestinian.

1705
03:42:25,750 --> 03:42:30,990
As board members, it is a responsibility to advocate for the rights of over 17,000 children

1706
03:42:30,990 --> 03:42:38,770
here in Anaheim, and parts of Garden Grove, but as humans, we must all advocate for the

1707
03:42:38,770 --> 03:42:44,010
rights of every child. On behalf of all the children caught in this nightmare, I call them

1708
03:42:44,010 --> 03:42:49,650
the world to do better. As UNICEF Director, Catherine Russell stated, children do not

1709
03:42:49,650 --> 03:42:57,430
start conflicts and they are powerless to stop them. They need all of us to advocate for them.

1710
03:42:58,190 --> 03:43:05,550
I, as an individual board member, one urge US lawmakers to adopt the resolution led by Congress

1711
03:43:05,550 --> 03:43:11,310
members Bush Tileb Carson Lee and Ramirez in a call for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel

1712
03:43:11,310 --> 03:43:18,910
Gaza war. Two to send humanitarian aid and assistance to Gaza and three to save as many lives

1713
03:43:18,910 --> 03:43:25,850
possible. I also acknowledge the collective trauma of Israeli and Palestinian communities

1714
03:43:25,850 --> 03:43:30,730
here in Anaheim, the United States and throughout the world following decades of conflict

1715
03:43:30,730 --> 03:43:38,590
and condemn the rise of anti-Jewish and anti-era rhetoric due to this current war.

1716
03:43:40,170 --> 03:43:47,450
We are better than this and it is my hope that all our families, faculty and staff here in Anaheim

1717
03:43:47,450 --> 03:43:56,210
do not engage in such rhetoric, rather engage in civil debate, civil conversations, and advocate

1718
03:43:56,210 --> 03:44:01,450
peacefully as promised to us by our first amendment rights, as our leaders decide the fate

1719
03:44:01,450 --> 03:44:04,770
of millions of people who are struggling from this current conflict.

1720
03:44:05,710 --> 03:44:06,470
Thank you.

1721
03:44:11,230 --> 03:44:11,810
Mr. Realist?

1722
03:44:15,300 --> 03:44:17,240
Well, I kind of want to do a pass right now.

1723
03:44:18,020 --> 03:44:20,720
That's like really like, I mean, no.

1724
03:44:21,340 --> 03:44:22,760
That's some intense stuff.

1725
03:44:23,500 --> 03:44:33,180
All right, going back to October, yes, that is the month that is exhausting and when it's all set and done at the end, I was like, man, why am I so exhausted?

1726
03:44:33,840 --> 03:44:42,760
And it's truly because of all these different events which are super fun and I love it. I love all, all's probably definitely my favorite season, I think.

1727
03:44:43,680 --> 03:44:49,140
But yes, like many of my colleagues, this is repeat, so I'm just going to go very fast just because for time.

1728
03:44:49,140 --> 03:44:59,960
Um, you know, I got definitely got my trunk or treat on visiting Orange Grove, Gwen and Waris the one thing I have to walk away with is a couple things that two things major number one. I love how you

1729
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:04,060
Each school is just so different. When it comes to their whole trunk retreats, you know?

1730
03:45:05,360 --> 03:45:12,980
It's amazing like how the cars come in at one school site and have it all ducked out with the super creative things.

1731
03:45:13,180 --> 03:45:20,000
It's amazing how another school site's definitely more so into just having the trunk of their cars and whatnot,

1732
03:45:20,240 --> 03:45:27,940
but also dressing up themselves, you know? It's amazing the way the kids go in and whether it's a festival, more setting,

1733
03:45:27,940 --> 03:45:31,020
or more or less like up in need of war as I was like laughing because I was like

1734
03:45:31,020 --> 03:45:34,640
what all the kids got an orderly alliance and they just did a procession around and

1735
03:45:34,640 --> 03:45:37,560
got all this candy and I was like what are you doing you know I could be running

1736
03:45:37,560 --> 03:45:41,500
in and getting candy in but everybody's just different and that's what's super cool

1737
03:45:41,920 --> 03:45:46,960
but the second thing that I noticed and this kind of piggybacks off of my colleagues

1738
03:45:46,960 --> 03:45:52,180
comments earlier about the whole issue as to I don't know about your neighborhoods but

1739
03:45:52,800 --> 03:45:57,480
I didn't have really that many trick or treaters at all and I had bought a lot of candy

1740
03:45:57,480 --> 03:46:02,420
So I ended up with this huge bag of awesome candy delicious candy that I'm

1741
03:46:02,420 --> 03:46:06,960
I've taken I took to school and giving to my favorite students, but it is one of these things where

1742
03:46:06,960 --> 03:46:12,400
Really a lot of it has to do with number one this day and age number two the

1743
03:46:13,120 --> 03:46:17,240
Everybody's afraid of fentanyl, which they should be but number three

1744
03:46:17,780 --> 03:46:23,220
We're doing all these cool things here and really redefining this idea of

1745
03:46:23,220 --> 03:46:29,380
trick or treating, and making it definitely a lot more of a cultural celebration with, like,

1746
03:46:29,400 --> 03:46:32,800
for example, the D.A.D.L.S. more of those events and the connection there, and that's definitely

1747
03:46:32,800 --> 03:46:37,200
more of the driving force, so that was cool. And that was my walkaways with the whole issue

1748
03:46:37,200 --> 03:46:41,780
of the trunk or change, which were all super cool. Hullwing festival, yes, my favorite, one of

1749
03:46:41,780 --> 03:46:48,440
my favorite events of the year, good times. All of us are out there having a great time. It's pretty

1750
03:46:48,440 --> 03:46:53,080
fun because of the fact that my entire career-wise, I've been working on the east side of the district

1751
03:46:53,080 --> 03:46:55,320
So I don't see students and stuff like that, and that was always cool.

1752
03:46:55,560 --> 03:47:01,920
But now I'm on the far west side of Anaheim over at Orange Your Junior High School, and it was great.

1753
03:47:02,120 --> 03:47:04,780
Because of the fact like my colleague Mr. Lopez was commenting,

1754
03:47:05,100 --> 03:47:06,580
there are some students that are there and whatnot.

1755
03:47:06,860 --> 03:47:10,560
But when you're talking to like a seventh grader and he comes up to you on Monday and it's like,

1756
03:47:10,640 --> 03:47:15,920
oh, I saw you in a parade. Mr. Rollis, are you famous?

1757
03:47:15,920 --> 03:47:19,900
And I'm like, ah, hey, miss, infamous, but hey, miss, come on.

1758
03:47:20,060 --> 03:47:21,640
You know, as a kid, just had a good time.

1759
03:47:21,780 --> 03:47:24,180
He was like, oh my mom, dad, we're like, that's,

1760
03:47:24,180 --> 03:47:25,320
isn't that your system principal?

1761
03:47:25,620 --> 03:47:27,340
And it was just so cool, like,

1762
03:47:27,340 --> 03:47:29,060
just, here is excitement and whatnot.

1763
03:47:29,720 --> 03:47:33,220
And, you know, it's, it's awesome because of the fact that it wasn't,

1764
03:47:33,220 --> 03:47:35,320
you know, just me, it was all of us and,

1765
03:47:35,480 --> 03:47:39,220
our entire, like, so many of our students that were there representing,

1766
03:47:39,440 --> 03:47:41,780
and it just makes me really proud to be a board member

1767
03:47:41,780 --> 03:47:43,760
for the Amhain Elementary School District.

1768
03:47:43,760 --> 03:47:48,340
uh... the deal the last one of those events was fantastic i loved it had a great

1769
03:47:48,340 --> 03:47:52,060
time at this event i went in the evening time so uh... i definitely saw

1770
03:47:52,060 --> 03:47:57,600
uh... more of you know the performances in the the cool displays and whatnot

1771
03:47:58,680 --> 03:48:03,280
but uh... for this one i want to give a special shout out

1772
03:48:03,280 --> 03:48:04,800
to doctor grace

1773
03:48:04,800 --> 03:48:08,480
because at this event there was a young man

1774
03:48:08,480 --> 03:48:16,080
whose name is Oliver Cortez Velasquez, and he was your student over at Horace Man,

1775
03:48:16,520 --> 03:48:23,300
and he's an amazingly talented artist who had displays of things here in Anaheim,

1776
03:48:23,440 --> 03:48:28,960
Little People's Park. He had basically what it looked like over at Angel Stadium before,

1777
03:48:29,720 --> 03:48:34,300
and the manner in which these are painted, they were so beautiful, and that was the thing.

1778
03:48:34,300 --> 03:48:40,820
and I bring this up because here is this young man in his 20s. He's this awesome artist.

1779
03:48:41,280 --> 03:48:45,580
And that was one of the things when he, I found out he was that man. And he thought that I was

1780
03:48:45,580 --> 03:48:50,140
with Anna and Emma Elementary. He's like, oh, do you know Dr. Grace? And I was like, yeah, I do. So,

1781
03:48:50,500 --> 03:48:55,060
shout out to you, Dr. Grace. Mainly because of the fact that it's always good to see one of

1782
03:48:55,060 --> 03:49:03,240
our own here in Anaham do some fantastic things. And this young man is super talented. On Saturday,

1783
03:49:03,240 --> 03:49:11,100
I headed over to the TGR foundation formerly known as the Tiger Woods Learning Center for an educational symposium

1784
03:49:11,100 --> 03:49:14,240
I wanted to pop my head in and see what's going on there

1785
03:49:14,240 --> 03:49:18,480
I haven't been to the Tiger Woods Learning Center. I'm sorry the TGR foundation in a while

1786
03:49:18,480 --> 03:49:21,400
But one of the things that really attracted me to this

1787
03:49:21,400 --> 03:49:23,900
were the

1788
03:49:23,900 --> 03:49:25,700
network opportunities of course

1789
03:49:25,700 --> 03:49:28,480
but the

1790
03:49:28,480 --> 03:49:32,500
The workshops that were there there were a few that really sparked my interest in one of them in particular

1791
03:49:32,500 --> 03:49:41,880
was really cool, it's called Whizz Girls, and it's all about gamification, and all about

1792
03:49:41,880 --> 03:49:49,640
making sure our young ladies are not lost in this whole coding world, and getting them

1793
03:49:49,640 --> 03:49:55,860
more involved in the process, and it was a fantastic presentation. I loved it. I also

1794
03:49:55,860 --> 03:49:59,980
want it to basically give a special shout out to Ray Nidalis.

1795
03:50:00,000 --> 03:50:29,980
A fifth grader, teacher over at Price, who was there or representing. I was proud to see him there. We had great conversations. We had lunch together. It was good to always pick his brain about certain things and hear the teacher perspective of, you know, we think everything's going great, but like, what do you think? You know, and, you know, race-intastic, he's awesome and, you know, he was very, very honest with a lot of things and, and just, I'm just proud to say after a conversation I left and I was, I was just still super pumped with a lot of things.

1796
03:50:30,000 --> 03:50:33,800
everything that's going on. The teacher of the year dinner, great, Kudos, once again, to Erin

1797
03:50:33,800 --> 03:50:41,700
Lee and Mona Harky. And then yesterday I had a meeting over at the district for AUHSD, but

1798
03:50:41,700 --> 03:50:46,440
it didn't start to later, so I was able to go over to visit Edison Elementary School for about

1799
03:50:46,440 --> 03:50:54,460
an hour, hour and a half, and just really hang out with Miss Nichols, talk with their interim

1800
03:50:54,460 --> 03:51:01,160
the P and it ends up, you know, a small world in the sense because he also was like, hey,

1801
03:51:01,300 --> 03:51:05,040
didn't you go to Katela? And I was like, oh, I know your brother and your brother's married to one

1802
03:51:05,040 --> 03:51:10,280
of my friends and, you know, we knew all the same people and we really ran in a lot of the same crowds.

1803
03:51:10,560 --> 03:51:16,880
So that was really actually super cool. And with that, that pretty much concludes my report.

1804
03:51:17,120 --> 03:51:24,440
I just want to just thank all of you veterans out there and wish you a good veterans day for

1805
03:51:24,440 --> 03:51:31,380
Veterans Day. My father was a veteran himself. So this day is very special. And everybody else,

1806
03:51:31,400 --> 03:51:36,760
you know, please, please, please make sure you enjoy your holiday break and your safe and

1807
03:51:37,260 --> 03:51:37,740
rejuvenate.

1808
03:51:41,400 --> 03:51:45,680
Okay, we have some great board reports tonight. I'm going to kind of power through this because

1809
03:51:45,680 --> 03:51:46,580
some of it is duplicate.

1810
03:51:49,120 --> 03:51:52,920
I'll start with just mentioning, I was going to mention the library.

1811
03:51:52,920 --> 03:51:59,260
I want everybody to just know, check out the scheduling, look for some of the exciting things that are going on there.

1812
03:51:59,540 --> 03:52:05,860
Central Library, there was an opening reception for the book that's being read now called There There.

1813
03:52:06,420 --> 03:52:09,420
And a Native American speaker from the Tonga Tribe.

1814
03:52:09,480 --> 03:52:10,820
I hope I said that right.

1815
03:52:11,420 --> 03:52:18,440
Speakers, dancers, music, and a tremendous amount of history relating to the anti-Hime history of the Native Americans.

1816
03:52:18,440 --> 03:52:22,300
So it was, there's some good stuff going on at the library.

1817
03:52:22,560 --> 03:52:23,400
So check it out.

1818
03:52:23,940 --> 03:52:29,040
I also attended the joint dinner meeting for the OCSPA and a CSA region 17.

1819
03:52:29,200 --> 03:52:34,640
And I'll just mention that Dr. I mean, Mr. Lopez, you won the book.

1820
03:52:35,420 --> 03:52:37,320
Bridge the gap, the curiosity cure.

1821
03:52:38,080 --> 03:52:43,660
Break through communication tools to transform work relationships from challenging to collaborative.

1822
03:52:44,140 --> 03:52:47,060
So when you read that, were you, were you bring us back?

1823
03:52:47,060 --> 03:52:49,580
Some, okay, you're giving the Christmas.

1824
03:52:51,580 --> 03:52:54,960
Also, I attended a parent engagement for the school family

1825
03:52:54,960 --> 03:52:57,560
and community engagement workshop at Key,

1826
03:52:57,760 --> 03:53:00,140
and it was Connections College Bound.

1827
03:53:00,140 --> 03:53:01,520
It was really interesting.

1828
03:53:02,060 --> 03:53:03,100
I'll mention Mr. Jimmy,

1829
03:53:03,320 --> 03:53:05,660
because he always has some good stuff going on.

1830
03:53:05,980 --> 03:53:08,200
He presented on the transition from home to college

1831
03:53:08,200 --> 03:53:10,480
and beyond, and he provided tips on how

1832
03:53:10,480 --> 03:53:13,520
to establish strong relationships and routines now

1833
03:53:13,520 --> 03:53:15,940
that can benefit your child in the future.

1834
03:53:15,940 --> 03:53:20,280
and the parents were very interested, it was a great workshop.

1835
03:53:21,720 --> 03:53:27,000
I was really honored to be able with Dr. Downing and Mr. Chavaria and a few

1836
03:53:27,000 --> 03:53:31,800
to who did we presented for the Measure J. Series the Bond?

1837
03:53:32,000 --> 03:53:36,520
Was it Piper Sandler that standard and force?

1838
03:53:36,960 --> 03:53:43,240
And what this was was to present to gain our credit rating for the bonds.

1839
03:53:43,240 --> 03:53:49,280
And as an honor to do it, and I had, I got to talk about our board, describe each of us,

1840
03:53:49,500 --> 03:53:56,740
and also since I'm a real estate agent, to talk about real estate in Anaheim and the tax

1841
03:53:56,740 --> 03:53:57,860
basis and things like that.

1842
03:53:57,860 --> 03:54:02,300
So that was really an honor to get to do that I've got to do it twice when you're president.

1843
03:54:02,680 --> 03:54:03,920
That's what you get to do.

1844
03:54:04,620 --> 03:54:13,580
So, I also was a library judge for part of a creative writing project judging panel, but

1845
03:54:13,580 --> 03:54:17,740
in our school gets judged too, but I mean, our district, but I did not judge for our

1846
03:54:17,740 --> 03:54:18,200
district.

1847
03:54:18,600 --> 03:54:20,160
I judge for centrally.

1848
03:54:21,340 --> 03:54:26,200
And all the students are going to receive recognition, but there's additional recognition

1849
03:54:26,200 --> 03:54:32,160
for the top six writers, and an outstanding recognition for a distinguished creative writer.

1850
03:54:32,160 --> 03:54:37,480
These essays are published in a project book and I think that's is that the

1851
03:54:37,480 --> 03:54:42,580
design that they call it. Okay, and I think that there's also going to be a

1852
03:54:42,580 --> 03:54:47,500
city council meeting where these are presented. Along with Principal Schumat from

1853
03:54:47,500 --> 03:54:54,220
Sloan Kiss, I attended a luncheon with the mayor of Mito Japan and Japanese

1854
03:54:54,220 --> 03:54:57,660
delegates and it was really an honor and fun to get to do that.

1855
03:54:57,660 --> 03:54:59,980
It kind of goes back to my ears as a...

1856
03:55:00,000 --> 03:55:23,000
Mr. City Commissioner. But also, we're privileged that Mito is, Principal Schumer is arranging a sort of virtual exchange with some of the students in Japan, and they had sent some gifts over that I was able to present to her. So it was really, really an interesting and fun luncheon.

1857
03:55:23,000 --> 03:55:27,080
It's not trunk or treat, fabulous, like it's been said.

1858
03:55:27,140 --> 03:55:30,000
It was amazing what these parents did with these trunks.

1859
03:55:30,700 --> 03:55:33,860
I just couldn't even believe it, as I said, I think before.

1860
03:55:34,200 --> 03:55:37,980
Some of them need to work for, not very far.

1861
03:55:39,200 --> 03:55:41,340
I mean, there's a lot of talent.

1862
03:55:41,720 --> 03:55:47,060
The one that scared me the worst was it was at price, but there was a Chuckie trunk.

1863
03:55:47,620 --> 03:55:50,360
Oh, let me tell you, that one was pretty scary.

1864
03:55:50,360 --> 03:55:58,260
Okay, so first five I'll mention, because I'd like to let everybody know if you haven't

1865
03:55:58,260 --> 03:56:04,080
seen this movie, this documentary called The Unseen, look it up, there was a panel and

1866
03:56:04,080 --> 03:56:08,560
the movie, the documentary was presented and it's on how we are failing parent caregivers

1867
03:56:09,200 --> 03:56:10,400
and why it matters.

1868
03:56:10,560 --> 03:56:16,240
I'm going to tell you, if you can make it through it without crying, it was pretty intense,

1869
03:56:16,240 --> 03:56:26,020
But very, very important information, and along with that, there was a virtual event and I was literally running in and out because they were at the same time back and forth.

1870
03:56:26,620 --> 03:56:32,880
It was a 2023 Arts and Cultural Series, the Shared Power of Healing and Joyful Schools.

1871
03:56:33,560 --> 03:56:36,840
This was, I was invited to this by Meritz of Rumidas.

1872
03:56:37,020 --> 03:56:40,200
I think you might have, did you tune in on that?

1873
03:56:40,220 --> 03:56:41,440
No, I was, okay.

1874
03:56:41,440 --> 03:56:49,460
There were diverse artists that created original work to spark the public's ability to

1875
03:56:49,460 --> 03:56:55,460
reimagine the power and potential of schools to be hubs of joy, belonging, celebration,

1876
03:56:56,020 --> 03:56:57,540
and opportunity for all.

1877
03:56:57,780 --> 03:57:04,100
And it was a campaign to create life-changing community schools, powerful, and absolutely

1878
03:57:04,100 --> 03:57:05,720
amazing artists.

1879
03:57:06,700 --> 03:57:09,500
Usually, yes, through Oco.

1880
03:57:10,080 --> 03:57:10,740
Thank you.

1881
03:57:10,740 --> 03:57:15,460
And it was it was powerful. It was really amazing and the talent was just unbelievable.

1882
03:57:16,480 --> 03:57:20,940
PTA Council always one of my favorite things to go to and just see the amazing

1883
03:57:21,620 --> 03:57:25,780
activity and work that's being done in all of our schools.

1884
03:57:26,440 --> 03:57:29,860
Also attended the Westmont Lights on after school assembly.

1885
03:57:30,420 --> 03:57:33,120
I believe the group was called Street Beat.

1886
03:57:33,660 --> 03:57:38,120
Drummers and hip hop and that was a lot of fun and yes I did dance because it was fun.

1887
03:57:38,120 --> 03:57:44,660
So, Dr. Marino and her team from Anaheim succeeds, this is one of their assemblies that was presented.

1888
03:57:45,800 --> 03:57:50,960
There was a Gower Resource Fair in a conjunction with Jose Councilman Jose Diaz,

1889
03:57:51,420 --> 03:57:57,400
and that was really fun. It was a lot of people and it was very interesting and a lot of resources out there.

1890
03:57:58,080 --> 03:58:05,080
As I mentioned, Price, Trunker, Treat, the same thing, amazing, amazing trunks, lots of people.

1891
03:58:05,080 --> 03:58:10,360
everybody had a great time. Halloween festival. I'll say it was a lot of fun. I'd

1892
03:58:10,360 --> 03:58:15,960
like to mention that, you know, there was a lot to go to fine tuning that with so

1893
03:58:15,960 --> 03:58:23,100
many people. Thank you. This is Vidya for putting that a lot of all the effort that you did

1894
03:58:23,100 --> 03:58:29,980
to put that together. So, and everybody else that participated, Linda really. It was great.

1895
03:58:30,480 --> 03:58:35,060
And I think we presented really well. I've heard so many wonderful comments. I also was

1896
03:58:35,060 --> 03:58:40,160
volunteering for about two months behind the scenes on the floats and things and it was really

1897
03:58:40,160 --> 03:58:44,600
fun to get to see it all, you know, when you have the backstage experience and then it all

1898
03:58:44,600 --> 03:58:49,580
gets shoved out. I think I had about 13,000 steps because there was a festival that day,

1899
03:58:50,160 --> 03:58:55,980
but I've gotten a lot of compliments on our band and the way the kids were in costumes and the

1900
03:58:55,980 --> 03:59:03,780
administrators it was just a really great day. The day of the dead also at Pearson it was wonderful

1901
03:59:03,780 --> 03:59:08,800
Our after school program did the dance to the ballet folk laurel, and I just wanted to mention.

1902
03:59:09,540 --> 03:59:13,480
I think we had 17 schools. The artwork and the creativity blew me away.

1903
03:59:14,200 --> 03:59:18,240
But at price, there were two girls, Samantha and Noemi.

1904
03:59:19,080 --> 03:59:23,740
And Samantha gave me a very detailed presentation from start to finish about five minutes.

1905
03:59:25,140 --> 03:59:30,100
Of all of the history of Deb, Deb, she had it all down. She knew it.

1906
03:59:30,100 --> 03:59:33,060
And it was an absolutely fabulous presentation

1907
03:59:33,060 --> 03:59:36,280
and no Amy also helped, but I have also,

1908
03:59:36,280 --> 03:59:38,800
I call Dr. Valencia to let him know.

1909
03:59:39,280 --> 03:59:40,660
These kids are really something

1910
03:59:40,660 --> 03:59:42,820
and they're really learning how to present

1911
03:59:42,820 --> 03:59:44,320
in conduct themselves in public

1912
03:59:44,320 --> 03:59:45,940
and the confidence was amazing.

1913
03:59:47,200 --> 03:59:50,500
Okay, so another health fair with Senator Umberg

1914
03:59:51,060 --> 03:59:54,440
and kids builders was presented there.

1915
03:59:54,480 --> 03:59:56,220
I wanna remind everybody kids builders

1916
03:59:56,220 --> 03:59:59,980
is first five programs that I believe we still

1917
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:15,180
We have on our webpage that you can connect with that, and also champions for children, which was a block party at Pacific Drive Elementary, where I ran into Laurel Estrada, who used to be VP at Wores, and she is now principal there, so that was fun.

1918
04:00:15,760 --> 04:00:19,500
I just a teacher of the year dinner, congratulations to our teachers.

1919
04:00:22,220 --> 04:00:23,260
She said she was Wores.

1920
04:00:24,580 --> 04:00:26,200
Yeah, she was Wores.

1921
04:00:29,540 --> 04:00:34,460
She was VP for a short, yeah, but she was for us.

1922
04:00:34,700 --> 04:00:37,160
Congratulations and thank you.

1923
04:00:37,180 --> 04:00:40,800
Thank you to our school psychologists for school psychologists week.

1924
04:00:40,940 --> 04:00:42,600
I believe it starts next week.

1925
04:00:43,120 --> 04:00:46,360
And also, again, the teacher of the year banquet,

1926
04:00:46,660 --> 04:00:49,120
we're very proud of Erin and Mona.

1927
04:00:49,860 --> 04:00:51,100
And all of our teachers actually.

1928
04:00:51,520 --> 04:00:52,360
So thank you.

1929
04:00:52,900 --> 04:00:56,180
As we approach Veterans Day, I just want to honor all of our veterans.

1930
04:00:56,180 --> 04:01:03,780
and thank you for your service, and with that, I think that we need to sing happy birthday to somebody.

1931
04:01:04,140 --> 04:01:04,560
Is that correct?

1932
04:01:06,840 --> 04:01:09,280
Yeah, but we didn't, we didn't sing, did we?

1933
04:01:09,960 --> 04:01:12,040
No, okay, you're on the hot seat.

1934
04:01:13,360 --> 04:01:20,960
And I'd also like to thank our guests for sticking this out to the very end, you, I mean, I want

1935
04:01:20,960 --> 04:01:22,480
ask why but no,

1936
04:01:24,740 --> 04:01:35,220
but well, it must be hard sitting here, but anyways, we thank you.

1937
04:01:35,600 --> 04:01:36,480
We thank you.

1938
04:01:36,600 --> 04:01:37,100
We thank you.

1939
04:01:37,260 --> 04:01:45,060
So anyways, Dr. Morgales has had a birthday and so we are going to honor him with our usual

1940
04:01:45,720 --> 04:01:46,840
rendition of Happy Birthday.

1941
04:01:46,840 --> 04:01:48,920
So let's start off.

1942
04:01:49,400 --> 04:01:51,980
Happy birthday to you.

1943
04:01:52,240 --> 04:01:54,840
Happy birthday to you.

1944
04:01:55,760 --> 04:01:58,720
Happy birthday dear Dr. McGaw.

1945
04:01:59,560 --> 04:02:00,020
Bless you.

1946
04:02:00,780 --> 04:02:02,840
Happy birthday to you.

1947
04:02:05,220 --> 04:02:06,320
Thank you, everyone.

1948
04:02:07,380 --> 04:02:07,700
Okay.

1949
04:02:08,560 --> 04:02:11,960
And thank you for being so attentive all of you that have listened.

1950
04:02:12,100 --> 04:02:14,000
As you can see, we're really a busy board.

1951
04:02:14,000 --> 04:02:21,300
And sometimes we get to the same things, but you can also see that some things that like I can't get to

1952
04:02:21,300 --> 04:02:23,360
Mark and get to or want or follow or run.

1953
04:02:24,020 --> 04:02:26,040
You know, there's a lot of it gets covered.

1954
04:02:26,400 --> 04:02:31,620
And so it's really a lot of teamwork and we're, this is a great board.

1955
04:02:31,800 --> 04:02:33,760
Well, this actually is really a fantastic board.

1956
04:02:33,780 --> 04:02:35,140
And I'm honored to be on it.

1957
04:02:35,380 --> 04:02:37,700
Okay, so now our future agenda items.

1958
04:02:37,740 --> 04:02:39,060
Does anybody have any?

1959
04:02:39,800 --> 04:02:41,100
Yes, as we are so busy.

1960
04:02:41,100 --> 04:02:46,760
one more item. Okay. I knew you would go ahead sooner rather than later just because we're coming

1961
04:02:46,760 --> 04:02:50,760
up to about the halfway point of the school year but I did want to have a staff presentation on the

1962
04:02:50,760 --> 04:02:58,460
pledge just to give us an overview of our role with our partners what we're partnering on upcoming

1963
04:02:58,460 --> 04:03:05,180
events that I might like to attend if I'm able to I won't speak for my board colleagues but I

1964
04:03:05,180 --> 04:03:10,840
I like to try to get to as many events as I can, who are contact people are on our end,

1965
04:03:11,280 --> 04:03:16,780
or our team, who's here that works with the different partners, which I presume will

1966
04:03:16,780 --> 04:03:21,680
be presenting or be part of the presentation at least, but just kind of an overview of how

1967
04:03:21,680 --> 04:03:27,340
our successes have been, some of our accomplishments, and what we're looking forward to for the rest

1968
04:03:27,340 --> 04:03:28,180
of the school year.

1969
04:03:28,400 --> 04:03:28,740
It would be great.

1970
04:03:28,860 --> 04:03:29,560
Thank you.

1971
04:03:31,280 --> 04:03:38,580
just like to wish everyone a very very happy blessed and safe Thanksgiving and I hope you enjoy

1972
04:03:38,580 --> 04:03:46,320
your your families and everybody gets a little bit of rest and and relaxation and just enjoy the holidays.

1973
04:03:47,160 --> 04:03:55,520
So with that I will adjourn the meeting at 903 and our next board meeting is Wednesday, December 13th.

1974
04:03:56,040 --> 04:03:58,360
Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening.
