Um, I'd like to call up our director of student 58 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:53,200 services, I'm sorry, educational services, Charles Dunn, introduced this 59 01:05:50,559 --> 01:05:57,720 evening's uh presentation on the international balorate program. 60 01:06:00,175 --> 01:06:02,195 [laughter] 61 01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:08,720 » Good evening, Madame President, board and cabinet. Tonight, we you'll be 62 01:06:06,799 --> 01:06:12,319 receiving a presentation on the Analopee Valley Union High School District 63 01:06:10,079 --> 01:06:16,559 International Balularia program based at Courtzell High School. This program has 64 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:21,920 touched hundreds of lives over the last few years, offering students acceptance 65 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:26,480 to universities in the United States and abroad. I'd like to invite to the podium 66 01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:31,200 the principal of Courtzel High School, Arjun Perisan, and our two directors of 67 01:06:29,039 --> 01:06:37,039 IB, I'm sorry, the coordinators of IB, Britney Stevenson and Dr. Steven Ready. 68 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,799 » Thank you. Hello. >> Thank you. 69 01:06:37,839 --> 01:06:43,039 » Welcome. [applause] Welcome. >> Good evening, Madam President, board of 70 01:06:40,319 --> 01:06:48,319 trustees, cabinet. Thank you for inviting us to present on our IB 71 01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:53,119 program. Uh the IB program is a global program that started in Geneva, 72 01:06:50,319 --> 01:06:57,680 Switzerland in 1968. One of the problems the IB program went 73 01:06:55,119 --> 01:07:00,960 to solve was looking at families that had to get picked up, moved around, 74 01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:05,599 sometimes without a lot of planning, military families, folks that had to uh 75 01:07:03,359 --> 01:07:10,400 suddenly without much planning figure out what their next steps were. The IB 76 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:18,160 program has grown now to over about 3,300 schools internationally, 940 plus 77 01:07:14,799 --> 01:07:22,960 in the United States and about 80 8090 in uh California. 78 01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:27,200 The IB program started uh at Courtzell High School in 1998 with Dr. Ready being 79 01:07:25,839 --> 01:07:31,440 uh one of the stewards of the program right from the start. Mrs. Stevenson 80 01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:35,280 started with the program a little bit later because she's a proud Quartzell 81 01:07:33,039 --> 01:07:39,599 High School alumnist and also a product of the IB program herself, thereby 82 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:44,000 reflecting the cycle of global citizenship that is one of the core 83 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:49,000 tenants of the IB program. So without further ado, here's Dr. Ready and Mrs. 84 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,000 Stevenson. 85 01:07:54,960 --> 01:08:02,400 » Thank you, Mr. PM Miss Von and thank you Madame President and members of the 86 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:07,280 board and cabinet. The international balora program is an extremely 87 01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:12,160 challenging and comprehensive two-year honors program that is available to all 88 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:17,920 students in the Analopee Valley for their junior and senior years. IB began 89 01:08:15,839 --> 01:08:23,199 after World War II in Europe as an idealistic venture to promote global 90 01:08:20,239 --> 01:08:27,279 understanding and a practical program to provide an excellent standardized 91 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:33,040 college prep education for the children of diplomats who frequently frequently 92 01:08:29,679 --> 01:08:37,120 lo relocated across borders. IB stated mission statement you can see on the 93 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:41,839 slide is to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people 94 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:46,080 who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural 95 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:51,199 understanding and respect. In the last 60 years, the program has spread around 96 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:57,839 the world as a program emphasizing educational excellence and we began with 97 01:08:54,960 --> 01:09:02,159 our program in at the Analo Valley uh district in 1998. 98 01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:07,920 There are three distinguishing characteristics of IB that make it a 99 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:14,480 unique opportunity for all AV students to partake of. Its breadth, its depth, 100 01:09:12,239 --> 01:09:19,120 and its devotion to the development of the whole student. 101 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:24,880 Regarding breadth, students take honors classes in all their subjects. 102 01:09:21,679 --> 01:09:30,400 All their subjects. Regarding depth, students engage in incredible rigor and 103 01:09:27,759 --> 01:09:36,319 creativity, completing their own unique research and writing in each of their 104 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:40,480 honors IB classes. And regarding the development of the whole person, it is 105 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:45,359 best represented by the IB learning profile that you can see on the screen. 106 01:09:42,719 --> 01:09:51,600 IB IB goes beyond just educational excellence and emphasizes service, 107 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:57,760 leadership, creativity, and sports to help students take on the challenges as 108 01:09:54,719 --> 01:10:02,800 young adults. Mr. Stevenson will now talk more about how the program is 109 01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:06,640 organized. Thank you, Dr. Ready. Um, so our IB program is a rigorous course of 110 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:10,960 study that students begin in their junior year. Their classes are all 111 01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:15,040 honors levels, resulting in an extremely challenging and experience across every 112 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:18,560 single subject. In addition to undertaking what most students would 113 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:23,520 consider to be the most rigorous course of study in our district, uh IB students 114 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:27,199 are also encouraged to explore areas of personal interest and personal growth 115 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:30,719 through an introduction to philosophy class with Dr. ready in the second 116 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:34,159 semester of their junior year where they explore ideas and questions such as how 117 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:41,040 do we know what we know and how do we know what what we consider to be truth 118 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:45,520 is actually truth. Um not only do they look for where knowledge comes from but 119 01:10:42,719 --> 01:10:49,040 they also seek to understand how we gain knowledge in the be in the first place. 120 01:10:47,679 --> 01:10:53,280 This class is also where the students are receiving support for one of the 121 01:10:50,719 --> 01:10:58,000 most uh intimidating cornerstones of the IB program, which is our 4,000word 122 01:10:55,920 --> 01:11:01,360 extended essay, which ultimately turns out to be about a 15-page research 123 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:05,360 project on a topic of the student's choosing. Another way the IB program 124 01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:08,880 helps students grow academically and personally is through the creativity, 125 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:13,520 activity, and service component of the core. Um this is a program where the 126 01:11:11,679 --> 01:11:17,520 students that are requiring the students to engage and reflect on extracurricular 127 01:11:15,440 --> 01:11:20,480 activities over the course of 18 months and most of the time these activities 128 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:24,640 include participating in sports and clubs events on campus both planning and 129 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:28,320 participating in community and campus cleanups. Uh we are often asked what's 130 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:32,640 the difference between advanced placement courses so AP and IB courses. 131 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:36,960 Um and I really like to use a metaphor of fine dining to kind of explain that a 132 01:11:34,719 --> 01:11:41,440 little bit better. AP classes in my mind are a little bit like alleart 133 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:44,640 experiences. Um you can take as many or as few as you want to create a 134 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:49,920 personally satisfying experience through your high school career. However, the IB 135 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:54,480 program is an all-inclusive seven course meal that is guaranteed to satisfy even 136 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:57,440 the most inquisitive of pallets. Dr. Ready will share a little bit now about 137 01:11:55,840 --> 01:12:01,040 the approaches that IB takes to teaching and learning that make our program so 138 01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:06,400 unique. So the learning profile, excuse me, the 139 01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:13,360 learning profile links all our classes with three common elements, thinking, 140 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:18,159 doing, and reflecting. And the reflecting component has become 141 01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:24,480 a much more significant part across uh all our educational ventures in this 142 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:29,280 district. H we ask as students, as teachers, we ask how are we learning? 143 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:36,320 Why is this important? How are we developing as a person? So, the program 144 01:12:33,440 --> 01:12:41,600 for students begins in their eighth grade where they come to Courtz Hill for 145 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:49,440 an evening program with their parents and we invite students from the entire 146 01:12:44,719 --> 01:12:56,480 district um to to learn about joining us. And um after they are accepted to 147 01:12:52,719 --> 01:13:02,800 the program, the um students then take honors classes in their ninth and tth 148 01:12:59,199 --> 01:13:08,000 grades either at Courtzill or uh at another high school here in the 149 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:12,960 district. And then uh they join the actual IB classes in 11th grade. And if 150 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:19,800 they're coming from another high school campus, they're guaranteed transfer to 151 01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,800 Courtz Hill. 152 01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:29,360 This is a um graph showing uh the distribution of 153 01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:36,960 students according to some of our demographic um characteristics and you 154 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:41,679 can see that the uh IB uh classes represent 155 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:48,480 our valley. One other note I wanted to make. We always have a few students who 156 01:13:45,199 --> 01:13:56,080 are the children of servicemen or contractors from other NATO countries 157 01:13:52,960 --> 01:14:00,800 from Europe and they come here and parents are perhaps working at Edwards 158 01:13:58,239 --> 01:14:07,280 or in one of the uh firms and their children come to the IB program and then 159 01:14:04,239 --> 01:14:16,400 when they return to Europe they are able to uh apply to the European colleges as 160 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:21,040 an IB student receive college credit with because of their IB classes at the 161 01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:27,440 Europe European University and that's a special part of of the demographics of 162 01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:31,040 our of our program. So this is a sample schedule of what our 163 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:34,320 students would engage in during their junior and senior year. And what is 164 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:38,159 really unique about each of these classes is that each one includes an 165 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:41,840 internal assessment as well as an external assessment. So our internal 166 01:14:40,239 --> 01:14:45,840 assessments usually look like projects large research papers on a topic of the 167 01:14:43,679 --> 01:14:49,520 ch the students choosing in what all different subjects supported by their 168 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:53,040 teachers and then the external assessments are more like this the tests 169 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:57,120 at the end of the year that the students would take in the spring and all of our 170 01:14:55,199 --> 01:15:04,280 internal and external assessments are sent off to the IB in Geneva um for 171 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:04,280 grading and moderation. 172 01:15:05,440 --> 01:15:08,440 Here 173 01:15:10,239 --> 01:15:19,040 are some examples of um the academic work that students do uh in their in 174 01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:26,719 their classes. Uh for example, the in history um I had a student last year 175 01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:33,040 focus on how Christian theology guided the leadership of civil rights heroes in 176 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:37,120 the 1950s and60s. So in each class, the students are choosing an independent 177 01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:43,520 project and working with the teacher to research and write, similar to what 178 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:46,960 they'll do in college. Our students are also finding ways to 179 01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:50,480 impact our community just beyond the classroom through creative and 180 01:15:48,159 --> 01:15:54,080 passionate cast projects. Uh some of you may be familiar with the Courtzill Food 181 01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:58,719 Pantry that was initially a brainchild of one of our IB students during CO. Um 182 01:15:57,199 --> 01:16:02,400 and it's still serving our community today. So you can see that our students 183 01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:05,440 that participate in the program, not only does the program leave a lasting 184 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:09,520 impact on them, they are leaving a lasting impact and legacy here in our 185 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:13,159 valley even after they go away off to college and graduate. 186 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:22,159 » So you may recall those research papers uh from high school or college. Well, 187 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:26,400 our IB students have a 15-page research paper, the extended essay, and they 188 01:16:24,719 --> 01:16:33,199 begin that in the spring of their junior year, work on it in the summer, continue 189 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:40,400 in the fall with a mentoring teacher. Uh and an example of that is uh uh a a work 190 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:46,400 that Tanisha Alam did which you can see on the screen there focusing on the 191 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:51,760 development of partisanship among her Vietnamese American community leaning 192 01:16:48,719 --> 01:16:56,400 toward being Republican because of the the legacy of being anti-communist. 193 01:16:54,480 --> 01:17:00,400 And then on the right uh here's a picture of a couple of our IB students. 194 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:05,120 They had just gone off to university and they came back to pick up their IB 195 01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:09,520 diplomas because they earned, of course, the high school diploma and then the IB 196 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:13,880 diploma which they're very proud of and yields the college credit too. 197 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:26,239 So, we shared a lot about what the program does um during the program and 198 01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,640 for our students while they're in school, but I would like to take a 199 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:33,679 moment to share a little bit more about the student outcomes that we're also 200 01:17:30,159 --> 01:17:38,480 seeing. Um so, what the program does for students ultimately is that it allows 201 01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:42,560 for them to have access to schools that they wouldn't normally have access to. 202 01:17:40,719 --> 01:17:46,000 Uh, one common misconception about the IB program is that it's only serving 203 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:49,600 students who are planning to attend university internationally after high 204 01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:53,440 school, which is not true. As you can see, the IB senior student enrollment. 205 01:17:52,159 --> 01:17:57,920 So, these are the outcomes of where our students went after they graduated from 206 01:17:55,360 --> 01:18:01,040 our program from 2022 to 2026. And you can see that the majority of them stayed 207 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:05,120 right here in California and attended a University of California school. We also 208 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:09,199 have students that left and went to California State Universities, private 209 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:14,960 universities in and out of in and out of California. Um and so we see that 210 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:19,520 students from the IB program are among those that are accepted to some of the 211 01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:23,280 most prestigious colleges. Here is some data uh just from our most 212 01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:28,000 recent data and our most recent cohort of students, the class of 2026. You can 213 01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:31,280 see that many of them attended UC are attending UC schools here in the fall. 214 01:18:29,679 --> 01:18:35,280 Um and we also have some students that attended private outofstate universities 215 01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:38,480 as well. In fact, our meritorious valadictorian from Courtzill High 216 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:43,360 School, class of 2026, his name was Aaron Lim is Aaron Lim. And he is 217 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:48,480 currently going planning to attend uh Union College in Albany, New York to 218 01:18:45,440 --> 01:18:51,600 pursue an MBA and a premed degree. So, one of the most important things that I 219 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:56,159 want to focus on here is that our students, 100% of our students are 220 01:18:54,320 --> 01:19:01,199 accepted into colleges, prestigious colleges and universities and UC 221 01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:05,120 schools, no matter how much or how little they were working with our 222 01:19:02,480 --> 01:19:09,920 program. Um, so you can see that a 100% of our students from last year as well 223 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:14,159 as this year will be planning to attend university in the fall. The last thing I 224 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,199 want to emphasize is we've told you a little bit about what the program is and 225 01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:20,880 also how it affects student outcomes when they graduate is I would like to 226 01:19:19,199 --> 01:19:25,520 emphasize that it not only helps students to be accepted to colleges, but 227 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:29,920 it also helps students be successful through colleges. So the data on the 228 01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:35,600 screen are some comparison numbers of the success rate of IB students versus 229 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:41,280 our the US students national average. So 75% of IB diploma recipients graduate 230 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:45,199 college within four years of graduating high school. Additionally, students that 231 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:51,280 participate in any capacity in the program are graduate at a rate of 61.6% 232 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:54,719 in four years after leaving high school. These numbers are extremely impressive, 233 01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:59,360 especially when compared to the national average of across the board most 234 01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:04,000 students, 41.1% of students are graduating college within four years 235 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:07,520 after leaving high school. >> Can I just interrupt you really quick? 236 01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:11,360 What is DP stand for? >> DP is the diploma program. So that's 237 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:16,280 what we call it's our international diploma program. 238 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:16,280 » Oh, okay. Okay. Thank you. 239 01:20:16,719 --> 01:20:27,280 In some the IB program is unique for its breadth, depth and our devotion to the 240 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:31,679 development of the whole student. In the last two years, we have established an 241 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:35,679 IB club and parent booster club to help IB students and provide social 242 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:40,239 activities. Our program development plans are emphasizing student success 243 01:20:38,239 --> 01:20:45,600 and close collaboration among teachers and staff. Our students and staff have 244 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:52,239 found IB to be an incredibly meaningful program. IB is one important way for all 245 01:20:49,440 --> 01:20:57,440 students in AV to help achieve our district district's graduate profile 246 01:20:54,640 --> 01:21:01,520 which we are emphasizing more. The four C's as they're called to be creators, 247 01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:08,640 collaborators, communicators and contributors can be achieved through 248 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:12,640 many ways and one of them is IB. So, as a proud graduate of the Analope 249 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:16,800 Valley High School District, as well as an IB diploma recipient, um I'd really I 250 01:21:15,440 --> 01:21:21,520 would like to take this moment to thank the board, Madame President, the cabinet 251 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:24,719 superintendent, um just for the opportunity to share some of the great 252 01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:28,480 things that our program does and how impactful it has been through the 253 01:21:26,239 --> 01:21:32,320 community. It's of such a personal value to me and I know so many members of our 254 01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:36,400 community that are able to come back. I personally attribute a a large amount of 255 01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:40,880 my own success through college and beyond to the found Um, and I'm so 256 01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:44,800 grateful for the opportunity to return and serve the community that served me 257 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:48,239 20 years ago. Thank you so much. And we'd be happy to answer any questions 258 01:21:46,239 --> 01:21:52,960 that you have now. >> Thank you. I have questions as always, 259 01:21:51,199 --> 01:21:56,080 but I will save it till the last. Um, any questions? 260 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,639 » Uh, no questions. It's great job. Looks like a really good program. Thank you, 261 01:21:57,679 --> 01:22:04,080 Mr. >> I just want to say I love our homegrown 262 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:08,239 heroes and um, Britney, that's you. I thank you very much for um coming back 263 01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:11,760 and serving our community. I mean, I think it's amazing. My family's doing 264 01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:16,719 that, so I'm doing that. So, I just wanted to say thank you and thanks for 265 01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:21,360 uh um coming and working for us. And Dr. Ready, I my kids did some IB going 266 01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:25,840 through the schools at Courtzill. And I got to tell you, always amazing things 267 01:22:23,679 --> 01:22:31,840 um that I heard through my children. So, good job. And oh, AJ, what a stud. Good 268 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:34,719 job. [laughter] >> Thank you, sir. 269 01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:38,880 Cindy, >> um, I always enjoy hearing about these 270 01:22:36,480 --> 01:22:42,000 programs. I I I don't think believe we have enough of them. And sometimes I 271 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,560 don't like that I'm not even aware of them. So, I just want to thank you for 272 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:48,880 taking the time and putting together such a great presentation. It was so 273 01:22:46,639 --> 01:22:52,320 detailed, so informative. And just as I thought I had a question, like the next 274 01:22:50,159 --> 01:22:56,000 page had the answer. So, it was very indepth. Um, and and I really love 275 01:22:54,480 --> 01:23:00,000 knowing this information because I love sharing about it. And same thing, um, 276 01:22:58,480 --> 01:23:05,199 you know, Miss Stevenson, thank you for coming back and serving our community. 277 01:23:02,239 --> 01:23:08,560 Uh it it it's a big difference for our students, I think, to be able to see 278 01:23:07,199 --> 01:23:11,840 someone who's lived the program and breathed the program and it's taught 279 01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:14,719 differently and and for putting back into our students. We're grateful for 280 01:23:13,199 --> 01:23:16,320 that. Thank you all. >> Thank you very much, 281 01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:20,400 » Mr. Sanchez. >> Thank you. Yeah, I'm a stats guy being a 282 01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:26,560 former baseball player, right? So, I really like the fact that you guys have 283 01:23:23,199 --> 01:23:32,719 those numbers up there, the 74% and 61%. I'm sold on that. Those are good numbers 284 01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:38,719 to see. Thank you. Thank you. >> Um yeah, this is a an amazing 285 01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:44,719 opportunity. So my questions are how many students do you serve a year? 286 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:50,639 » How many so how many are in the program? >> So um for the uh eighth graders coming 287 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:55,280 and and learning about the program, we'll have a library full of students 288 01:23:53,120 --> 01:24:02,000 and parents, you know, a couple hundred students uh each night. And we have uh 289 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:07,120 about 75 students who are then accepted into the program as rising ninth 290 01:24:04,480 --> 01:24:13,600 graders, courts students and students who are going to be attending other 291 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:19,040 schools in our district. And then um when they join uh the junior class, uh 292 01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:24,400 it's a smaller group. It's been running about 25 in the junior class and also in 293 01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:29,199 the senior class uh to be full diploma candidates. And then we'll also have 294 01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:32,800 some students take a few IB classes rather you know a few more. So it's it's 295 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:35,360 uh that's those are the numbers approximately. 296 01:24:33,440 --> 01:24:40,639 » So a student can take an IB course without being in the IB program. 297 01:24:38,159 --> 01:24:44,480 » Um they would be a what is called a certificate candidate for that class. 298 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:50,639 » Okay. >> And it's a relatively small percentage 299 01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:55,520 perhaps uh 10 or 20% of the students. >> Okay. Um, and then so then just going to 300 01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:59,440 the statistics, I like to know what numbers I'm working 301 01:24:57,199 --> 01:25:07,360 with with the statistics. So the the demographics um page, where is it? 302 01:25:04,239 --> 01:25:12,000 Here it is. N >> can you just go back to it? I can't. Oh, 303 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:17,280 that one. So then this number is four years worth of data. 304 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:21,920 Okay. So can you give [snorts] me numbers for this based on well you can 305 01:25:20,480 --> 01:25:27,920 at least right now if not I could get it from Mr. Nen. 306 01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:34,000 » So these are um five years of the senior class. So of the 25 students in a 307 01:25:32,239 --> 01:25:40,320 typical class. This is that the demographic breakdown 308 01:25:36,159 --> 01:25:48,880 » of those senior classes, the as they listed um their um their background when 309 01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:53,040 um formally um applying for the IB exams in their senior year. 310 01:25:50,400 --> 01:26:01,120 » Okay. And so I guess Mr. Hen, my question slash um hope is how can we get 311 01:25:56,719 --> 01:26:05,679 an IB program at more sites so that it feels a little more equitable because if 312 01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:11,840 we're I mean we have 20,000 students not to say that all 20,000 will be eligible 313 01:26:08,719 --> 01:26:18,880 for an IB however um you know 75 start and then the 314 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:25,520 attrition to maybe 25 or so it would be great to see I mean if it's working um 315 01:26:22,159 --> 01:26:32,800 how can we grow this? And also while I'm saying this, um can you run a report for 316 01:26:29,440 --> 01:26:38,000 the data of the test scores for those that are in IB with the CASP and NWA to 317 01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:44,000 see how that's correlating? >> Sure. And and to your first question, we 318 01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:48,320 can explore it. um any student in the district um who does grade nine and 10 319 01:26:46,719 --> 01:26:52,320 at their home school, whether it be Courtz Hill or anyone any other one, Dr. 320 01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:57,199 Ready, correct me if I'm wrong, but they're automatically accepted into the 321 01:26:53,840 --> 01:27:01,760 IB program at Courts Hill. No, um paperwork, no um open enrollment for 322 01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:06,639 that student. Um there would be some challenges um not necessarily 323 01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:10,159 insurmountable with expanding IB to other um schools across the district, 324 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,840 but we can explore explore it as an option. 325 01:27:10,480 --> 01:27:15,520 » There's a challenge though. We might have to get some DNA from Dr. Ready and 326 01:27:14,239 --> 01:27:18,480 and then clone him. >> That is one of the challenges is 327 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:21,679 teachers of this >> air and caliber. 328 01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:26,239 » We'll get some IB students to do it. So, >> well, because I would like to see this 329 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:30,719 program be on Courtz Hill Westside because Little Rock deserves it. 330 01:27:28,639 --> 01:27:34,960 Palmdale deserves it. Knight High School deserves it. People that, you know, I 331 01:27:33,440 --> 01:27:40,159 would love to see how we could increase the 9% of our African-American students 332 01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:43,440 to have this amazing opportunity as well. Also, it would be great if you 333 01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:47,120 could look at possibilities for the next year to come. 334 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:50,239 » Probably be two years out. >> We should start the conversation. 335 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:52,880 » Conversation started. >> Perfect. Do I 336 01:27:51,199 --> 01:27:57,360 » When can we get the DNA? >> Do you experience a wait list of 337 01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:59,840 students trying to enroll and not having the ability to enroll in the [snorts] 338 01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:06,159 program? >> We have all the students uh who wish to 339 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:10,239 be in IB are able to join it. Okay. We'll you know, we just grow the classes 340 01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:15,280 as demand increases. Oh, perfect. So, there really isn't um a limitation to 341 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:19,760 how many. So, maybe it's just a awareness because if there's no weight 342 01:28:18,159 --> 01:28:23,040 list, it's unlike some of the other programs like soore where there's a 343 01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:27,120 weight list. This program has no weight list. So, it could just be informing 344 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:30,560 more of the students that of the availability of it. 345 01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:34,880 » Absolutely. >> Yeah, definitely. and you know changing 346 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:38,000 the narrative because I've had several friends of mine that are parents that 347 01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:42,080 have had their kids go through it and there really is a perception of oh well 348 01:28:39,679 --> 01:28:50,159 that's not for me or that's for the elite west side and we needed that goes 349 01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:54,880 away. So um but I asked for this pro uh presentation so I finally have it and 350 01:28:53,199 --> 01:28:58,960 thank you so much and Dr. Ready I think we met a couple of years ago at the 351 01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:01,360 career fair. Yeah. So, thank you so much. Unless there's other questions, I 352 01:29:00,719 --> 01:29:03,520 think we're good. >> Good job. 353 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:07,536 » Thank you so much. >> Thank you very much. [applause] 354 01:29:12,639 --> 01:29:19,600 » All right. B cat Catapult presentation. Dr. Grado. 355 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:23,440 » All right. Thank you once again. As part of our commitment to multi-tered system 356 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:27,120 of supports, we've adopted the district-wide tier one strategy of using 357 01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:30,880 good first instruction through the core instructional model. Catapult is an 358 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:35,040 expert in this type of instructional delivery. Here to introduce our guest 359 01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:38,440 this evening is director of MTSS, Miss Kimberly Porter. 360 01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:45,520 » Hello. Good evening. Welcome. Good to see you. 361 01:29:43,440 --> 01:29:50,639 » Good evening, Madame President, board of trustees and executive cabinet. The work 362 01:29:48,159 --> 01:29:55,280 of MTSS in our district has been a journey marked by building systems and 363 01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:59,600 training teams on structures and strategies that support MTSS. 364 01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:04,800 Instruction has been the main focus for our tier one teams. And last school 365 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:09,760 year, they took um the knowledge they gained over the years and focused on the 366 01:30:07,679 --> 01:30:15,360 science of implementation. They learned what it takes to implement 367 01:30:11,440 --> 01:30:19,840 MTSS well on their campuses. We know that professional development 368 01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:25,040 alone does not always translate into practice. Research shows that after 369 01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:30,080 professional development only about 5% of what is learned is actually 370 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:34,320 implemented. Alia Williams Ashley from Catapult Learning is here to share how 371 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:39,280 Catapult will expand the services they offer our district to include support 372 01:30:36,480 --> 01:30:42,280 for our tier one teams to improve that outcome. 373 01:30:55,440 --> 01:31:00,719 Good evening. >> Hi. Welcome. 374 01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:05,199 » Thank you so much um Madame President, board members, cabinet members. Um thank 375 01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:09,920 you for your time today. I'm here to present Catapult Learning's proposal to 376 01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:15,600 continue our core instructional model implementation support and expand 377 01:31:12,480 --> 01:31:21,600 support to include the district's MTSS implementation. 378 01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:25,840 Um I as Kim has introduced I am Ali Williams Ashley the area manager for 379 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:32,400 professional development services overseeing 10 states in the western part 380 01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:36,639 of the United States. I'm a proud STEM, former STEM teacher to middle and high 381 01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:40,960 school students. I was a high school administrator and former instructional 382 01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:45,840 and leadership coach. I'm just one of three leaders who will support the 383 01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:51,040 logistics and implementation of services for AVUHSD. 384 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:58,480 So, let's get started. The goals of the PD plan are to continue 385 01:31:54,719 --> 01:32:03,360 support of the implementation of CIM by building the instructional staff 386 01:31:59,920 --> 01:32:09,280 capacity to plan and deliver tier one effect tier one instruction to expand 387 01:32:06,239 --> 01:32:13,040 that support to include the capacity building of the leaders at the 388 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:18,560 comprehensive school sites to continuously use data to make decisions 389 01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:24,000 about students learning, equity, and overall continuous school improvement 390 01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:28,960 and finally to promote a system of collaboration that will share the 391 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:34,199 responsibility among stakeholders for helping students learn, connect and 392 01:32:31,199 --> 01:32:34,199 thrive. 393 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:42,400 Since Catapult has an established CIM partnership with the district, this 394 01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:48,400 presentation will focus on the support of the MTSS implementation which will 395 01:32:45,440 --> 01:32:53,679 happen in two phases. The first is the collaborative quality analysis or CQA 396 01:32:51,440 --> 01:32:59,280 which is Catapose proprietary needs assessment process and the design and 397 01:32:56,560 --> 01:33:05,400 execution of a common uh custom implementation plan for each 398 01:33:01,440 --> 01:33:05,400 comprehensive school site. 399 01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:16,560 In phase one, in the collaboration with district and school leaders, our coaches 400 01:33:12,639 --> 01:33:21,120 will complete the CQA by first comparing the school's current practices with 401 01:33:18,719 --> 01:33:27,199 researchbased practices and the district's MTSS framework. 402 01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:32,239 Two, framing priorities and developing an implementation plan that will include 403 01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:39,120 strategies to address any identified gaps. The CQA process will also build a 404 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:44,560 cadence for implementation plan review as a catapult, pun intended, to embed 405 01:33:42,239 --> 01:33:50,480 continuous improvement in each school's culture. And finally, it will identify 406 01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:55,440 any influences on decision making that may impede progress. Lastly, 407 01:33:53,840 --> 01:34:00,400 each school's leadership team will receive a comprehensive CNA report 408 01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:04,480 detailing findings and recommendations, and district leaders will receive the 409 01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:11,080 individual school reports and a consolidated report highlighting any 410 01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:11,080 district level trends. 411 01:34:12,060 --> 01:34:18,960 [snorts] In phase two, the implementation plan 412 01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:22,960 will be developed alongside school leaders and will include diverse 413 01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:27,440 learning experiences like job embedded coaching to strengthen plan 414 01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:32,000 implementation and accountability and the development of a data collection 415 01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:37,520 cadence to build implementation sustainability beyond our partnerships. 416 01:34:35,440 --> 01:34:43,480 This cadence will allow leaders to monitor progress while using multiple 417 01:34:40,159 --> 01:34:43,480 data points. 418 01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:52,400 Also in phase two, district and leaders uh district and school leaders will 419 01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:57,360 engage in a progress monitoring cadence using a modified version of Dimming's 420 01:34:55,040 --> 01:35:03,280 plan do study act or continuous improvement cycle with the diagnosis 421 01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:08,080 stage being the exception since it is inclusive of our needs assessment 422 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:14,760 process which is a more comprehensive exercise than what is typically done in 423 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:14,760 the study act stage. 424 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:25,840 We propose a 2-year timeline for this implementation support. This first year 425 01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:31,600 will allow Catapult coaches and site leaders time to establish a common 426 01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:38,480 understanding of what MTSS will look like at and customizing the experience 427 01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:45,199 for each site. to develop the implementation plan to develop the data 428 01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:52,400 review cadence any data collection tools and engage in interrator reliability 429 01:35:48,480 --> 01:35:59,480 exercises to ensure data analysis is aligned and builds collaboration among 430 01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:59,480 sitebased teams. 431 01:36:00,719 --> 01:36:08,719 In the second year, the implementation activities will deepen becoming more 432 01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:14,480 rigorous and the process of gradually releasing the responsibility from 433 01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:18,159 catapult coaches to site leaders to lead implementation 434 01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:23,760 that is when it will um that's when it occurs. Such activities will include 435 01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:29,679 reviewing and adjusting the plan based on data, promoting inclusive practices 436 01:36:26,639 --> 01:36:35,520 like culturally responsive teaching, and inviting family, caregivers, and the 437 01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:42,159 community to engage in the MTSS implementation process by sharing goals 438 01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:49,239 and progress and by soliciting and using their feedback as another data source 439 01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:49,239 for decision makingaking. 440 01:36:50,639 --> 01:36:58,080 This slide, this slide highlights some of the activities that will bring the 441 01:36:54,400 --> 01:37:04,560 implementation plan into daily classroom practice. The collaborative teaming and 442 01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:10,800 PLC's will schedule a protected time for schools to focus on student data and 443 01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:16,320 problem solving. Culturally responsive teaching will help the school staff self 444 01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:21,199 assess, building awareness of their biases and share evidence-based 445 01:37:18,719 --> 01:37:27,119 practices to build more inclusive classrooms through coaching. Prog 446 01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:33,520 progress monitoring will become a staple in each school's culture, ensuring 447 01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:38,480 ongoing student support with family caregiver and community engagement 448 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:42,840 strategies. Stronger school home partnerships will develop 449 01:37:43,627 --> 01:37:48,480 [snorts] throughout the implementation process. 450 01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:54,320 Catapult will support school site leaders by using a number of activities 451 01:37:51,440 --> 01:37:59,440 like coaching observations with the Catapult coach and or their leadership 452 01:37:56,719 --> 01:38:04,560 peers to develop alignment on what to look for in terms of teaching and 453 01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:10,000 learning and how to give constructive actionable feedback. Additional 454 01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:14,000 activities will include developing a digital resource hub so leaders can 455 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:20,080 access the tools and templates used during implementation and facilitating 456 01:38:17,119 --> 01:38:27,719 monthly district and school check-ins to reflect on data implementation plan 457 01:38:22,480 --> 01:38:27,719 milestones and to plan next steps. 458 01:38:30,239 --> 01:38:39,119 This slide uh demonstrates um Catapose capacity to support this MTSS 459 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:42,560 implementation as it speaks to the number of partnerships that we have 460 01:38:40,480 --> 01:38:47,400 across the country and the amount of days that of coaching that we've 461 01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,400 delivered. 462 01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:53,840 Thank you so much for your time. Are there any questions? 463 01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:58,639 » Thank you. Um yeah, I just had a couple of 464 01:38:55,520 --> 01:39:06,239 questions just for the the clarity. Um this is for 124 465 01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:10,880 staff members. The the coaching one the full day is that for 124 people 466 01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:16,960 » the >> or are you asking more general about the 467 01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:19,520 program not specifically this umou that we're trying to get understanding 468 01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:25,280 of? >> Okay. It is two parts. One part of that 469 01:39:23,199 --> 01:39:28,480 proposal is for the CIM, the core instructional model support, 470 01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:34,800 implementation support that has been going on for years. The other part is 471 01:39:30,639 --> 01:39:42,080 for MTSS is focused on the MTSS teams at each comprehensive school site. 472 01:39:37,440 --> 01:39:48,639 » Okay. And what will be the focus for or how are you going to help our schools 473 01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:55,040 with tier one knowing that tier one is very impacted. So what are you going to 474 01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:59,440 be able to do with this program? >> Right. Initially we are currently we are 475 01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:03,360 supporting teachers in the classroom with effective tier one planning and 476 01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:05,920 delivery working with the >> So you're you're doing it right now. 477 01:40:05,119 --> 01:40:09,920 You're doing that. >> That's correct. But specifically with 478 01:40:07,440 --> 01:40:12,560 the teachers um and the instructional partners are walking alongside our 479 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:17,760 catapult coaches. >> So but we're here to potentially on on 480 01:40:15,199 --> 01:40:22,400 te to approve this cont. Have we approved a contract with you already? 481 01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:26,000 Not not for either one. So this is presentation. 482 01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:30,480 » We've worked with catapult since 2014. Just a renewal of one piece. 483 01:40:28,239 --> 01:40:33,920 » An expansion for another expansion with MTSS. 484 01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:39,040 » Hold on. So So hold on. Catapult's been doing what? You know, I got big problems 485 01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:45,679 right now just because of the probably about four years ago our discussion. So 486 01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:49,840 have we been working with Catapult with our MTSS? 487 01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:56,000 Well, yes and um Catapult and the core 488 01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:59,760 instructional model is a tier one common assurance. So, and Catapult has 489 01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:03,840 supported us um with the core instruction model and we worked on the 490 01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:10,560 same concept before it was the core instruction model. This new component on 491 01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:16,560 the MTSS piece is to broaden our um internal capacity to continue to develop 492 01:41:14,639 --> 01:41:20,560 and support the core instructional model. So, so we hired someone to 493 01:41:18,480 --> 01:41:24,239 implement MT because before we had a contract when we first got on the board, 494 01:41:22,239 --> 01:41:26,320 remember four years ago, we had a contract and we had some issues with 495 01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:30,239 that contract, >> separate type of support. 496 01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:34,719 » Okay. So, and then that contract's done now and that person got we and then what 497 01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:36,000 we did after that, we hired our own MTSS coordinator. Correct. 498 01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:38,080 » Correct. >> Okay. So, we have that person still. 499 01:41:37,679 --> 01:41:42,719 Correct. >> Correct. 500 01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:47,360 » Okay. So, how has Catapult been working together with our MTSS 501 01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:49,679 director >> as the 502 01:41:48,239 --> 01:41:53,440 » Because she says she's doing it right now, correct? You're already doing it, 503 01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:56,159 but if we're if I'm approving a contract now, how are you doing it without you 504 01:41:54,719 --> 01:41:59,679 having a contract prior is what I'm >> We've been working with Catapult for a 505 01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:02,639 number of years. 14 years that I'm aware of. 506 01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:07,040 » Got to way before MTSS. Yeah. Okay. So they you've just been they've been 507 01:42:04,159 --> 01:42:11,679 assisting some MTSS not needing a >> instructional model and this is bringing 508 01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:16,880 it into the realm of MTSS and this is a totally separate um entity than who we 509 01:42:15,199 --> 01:42:18,880 dealt with before the previous >> we don't have that contract anymore. 510 01:42:18,480 --> 01:42:22,639 » Correct. >> Okay. 511 01:42:20,480 --> 01:42:26,719 » All right. I'm still I'm still concerned. 512 01:42:24,159 --> 01:42:30,960 » Might I add that the focus of the MTSS is to develop the leaders. So 513 01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:33,280 » that's what the >> No. Okay. 514 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:36,320 » No, no disrespect to you. I'm just trying to work through this because 515 01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:39,520 that's what the last person was >> that was very problematic in how we did 516 01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:42,639 contracts. >> Okay. 517 01:42:40,480 --> 01:42:44,960 » I'm I'm kind of leaning. >> So, um 518 01:42:44,930 --> 01:42:49,679 [clears throat] >> and if I may, I just I I had asked for 519 01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:53,520 this presentation because you know it's something that we have to be responsible 520 01:42:51,440 --> 01:42:58,719 fiscally and what we are trying to do. We have our strategic plan and um etc 521 01:42:56,880 --> 01:43:03,040 etc. So I just want to make sure all five of us are very informed and clear 522 01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:08,239 on that and I know right now it's the presentation only. So if we want to do 523 01:43:05,119 --> 01:43:11,040 anything about options we'll wait. Yeah. >> Um but those that was my question just 524 01:43:10,480 --> 01:43:13,679 about the number >> but I want to understand it. Let's talk 525 01:43:12,239 --> 01:43:20,320 about the financing. Let's talk about the findings. It's 7 526 01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:23,520 » 760,000 but it's broken into Kevin can you explain or Greg can you explain the 527 01:43:22,239 --> 01:43:28,560 difference >> in the the funding sources of 528 01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:32,480 » Yes. So basically, um, when Catapult worked with us in the past, um, it was 529 01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:37,520 for a few schools. We only had a few schools that really were doing the core 530 01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:41,840 instructional model. Um, with MTSS, with that tier one model, we wanted to go 531 01:43:39,679 --> 01:43:46,080 districtwide. And so that way we're, you know, casting a larger net and making 532 01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:51,679 sure that our teachers are really, um, using a a researchbased instructional 533 01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:57,360 strategy or framework um, that we could hit all of our classes. And so half of 534 01:43:54,400 --> 01:44:00,560 the contract is for that piece. So the professional development working with 535 01:43:59,199 --> 01:44:04,400 all of our teachers. >> That was the last contract with MTSS, 536 01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:10,000 Dr. Grados. And what I'm saying is when we we gave about a three-year period on 537 01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:16,080 that and we allowed that and and then we hired a an employee to do that 538 01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:19,920 » to do that. So why is our employee not able to do that? 539 01:44:17,440 --> 01:44:23,679 » Um at probably not at this kind of a scale. So the second half that employee 540 01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:28,080 to get trained to do it at this this scale. Can we give her some professional 541 01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:32,800 development to ensure that she has the ability to do it? I mean that sounds 542 01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:36,239 like a good investment of our employees. >> Why am I bringing a third party in to do 543 01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:40,880 what we should be doing? >> Mr. Hughes, if I can add, the current 544 01:44:38,480 --> 01:44:43,920 director of MTSS has done a great job. >> Amazing. 545 01:44:41,440 --> 01:44:48,400 » There's three tiers to MTSS and it's districtwide. This is focusing on and 546 01:44:46,159 --> 01:44:54,560 supporting tier one, which is the broadest tier. um it's not possible to 547 01:44:51,920 --> 01:45:00,800 focus on all three tiers districtwide and support tier one. So it this is this 548 01:44:57,679 --> 01:45:06,080 this additional support is necessary to continue the growth that we've shown 549 01:45:03,199 --> 01:45:09,360 both academically as well as um in strengthening our MTSS program. 550 01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:15,280 » And if I may the other half of your question of the um the funding um one of 551 01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:19,760 the contracts is out of the LRBG the um learning recovery block grant. 552 01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:22,480 So, it is part of the that's um going away after this year. And then the other 553 01:45:21,679 --> 01:45:24,639 um is >> use it or lose it. 554 01:45:23,440 --> 01:45:30,800 » Correct. >> Okay. You're you're getting me there. 555 01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:34,880 » Okay. Um yes, I'll have I have more questions 556 01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:39,520 once we do the the >> Can I step in really quickly to help 557 01:45:37,199 --> 01:45:45,520 share information? Part of our MTSS plan. Um this does not us take away the 558 01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:51,280 work that I'm doing. this work that the coaching um the co coaching component is 559 01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:57,920 being directed by me as the director and as uh Dr. Uh Greg Nihan said doing the 560 01:45:55,199 --> 01:46:02,320 work all of that this work for all of the sites with other responsibilities is 561 01:46:00,239 --> 01:46:07,600 almost impossible. Um as an MTSS director I don't have a team of people 562 01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:10,800 right it's just me and so bringing in the Catapult 563 01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:14,639 » coaching $700,000 we could hire some more staff. 564 01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:19,280 » Bringing in the Catapult coaching would help our site leaders to be able to 565 01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:24,159 implement well which is the next phase of our MTSS work. And so our ultimate 566 01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:28,800 goal is sustainability. When we talk about MTSS, the ultimate goal is so that 567 01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:33,360 our our system isn't dependent on a person, but our system is running like a 568 01:46:31,199 --> 01:46:40,159 welloiled machine. And so the work of catapult is helping us to um ensure this 569 01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:47,280 coaching is ensuring that these systems are in place on the campuses 570 01:46:42,719 --> 01:46:52,080 um in training and coaching the um assistant principles and instructional 571 01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:55,840 partners to lead this work well. And so when we look at the continuous cycle of 572 01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:59,840 improvement, that's really the work that we're working on here is just ensuring 573 01:46:57,679 --> 01:47:04,400 that things are working and that they're sticking. How many staff am I getting 574 01:47:01,679 --> 01:47:10,960 for 700,000? How many staff do you have to train our trainers? 575 01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:15,040 » There are four coaches that will be >> So, four coaches. I get four people. And 576 01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:21,760 how many hours a week are they going to work for me? 577 01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:28,320 » They have uh 120. That's the 124 days. >> It's six hours. 578 01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:31,360 » Um it's six hours for one day of 124 people. And then 579 01:47:30,159 --> 01:47:35,440 » so so how many people are going to be training? 124. I'm just going to do some 580 01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:39,520 math here. I'm very simple. >> How many hours a day and how many people 581 01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:46,960 are you going to have here training for those six hours a day? One, two, four. 582 01:47:42,719 --> 01:47:49,600 » So every school will get 13 days for the year. 583 01:47:49,199 --> 01:47:53,280 » That's >> so they'll get two two days a month, 584 01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:55,760 right? >> Excuse me. 585 01:47:53,840 --> 01:48:01,280 » And they will be training the assistant principles and the site IPs. So there 586 01:47:58,159 --> 01:48:05,119 are five to six IPS per campus and those are the people they will be 587 01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:09,360 » Let me ask this how many hours and if you have two employees there teaching 588 01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:12,960 six hours so that's a 12 hour for that day correct 589 01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:18,080 » okay so if you have four that's let me do my math 24 hours and if you do 24 590 01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:23,360 let's say you had all four there and you did 24 hours 591 01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:28,119 » right times 13 right is that what you said 13 times a there. 592 01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:41,360 So, 312 hours. So, 312. What's I need to get a new job here. 593 01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:46,639 That was 700,000. >> That's $2,243 594 01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:50,400 an hour. >> Yeah. Well, I just did the math. You 595 01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:56,560 said 13 days and I said four instructors at six. That's 24. That's 24 hours for a 596 01:48:53,600 --> 01:49:01,080 day. 13 days because 13 days a year times 24. How long is the contract? 597 01:49:01,119 --> 01:49:07,880 » So now it's only it's 11 like a thousand bucks an hour. 598 01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:14,239 » 13 days per campus. >> Okay. 599 01:49:12,239 --> 01:49:17,840 » So let me just go back to say how many hours in a year are you going to provide 600 01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:22,000 me? And if you have four staff members and they work each an hour, that's four 601 01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:25,760 hours, right? How many hours am I going to get for this district to implement 602 01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:31,920 this program that you're asking me to vote for? 603 01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:37,119 » There are a total of 124 days times six. You will get 744 hours to be divided 604 01:49:35,199 --> 01:49:42,840 among the eight. >> 744 hours. Okay, cool. I can do that 605 01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,840 now. 606 01:49:44,639 --> 01:49:50,080 » Right. It's about 15 and a half 16 days actually. 607 01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:55,760 » So that's 940. I feel so much better. $940 an hour that you're charging us. I 608 01:49:53,840 --> 01:50:00,080 am the wrong profession. Risk my life for 26 years. Um, okay. I think I 609 01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:03,199 understand this. >> Um, so then I have another question 610 01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:07,119 about um, >> see, I can be back. 611 01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:14,159 » MTSS the ensuring that I think Miss Porter said 612 01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:19,360 5% of what is learned in professional development is actually practice. So, 613 01:50:16,480 --> 01:50:23,440 how are we going to ensure that more than 5% 614 01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:28,960 is practiced with MTSS? Because we do get a lot of comments, emails, concerns 615 01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:32,719 that MTSS, depending on who's talking, is working 616 01:50:30,639 --> 01:50:37,600 or is not working. And also the consistency of those that are inputting 617 01:50:35,119 --> 01:50:41,119 data. You know, maybe Mr. Hughes is putting it in one way because he was 618 01:50:39,119 --> 01:50:45,600 told and then maybe I'm So then when we're looking at the data, it's skewed, 619 01:50:43,199 --> 01:50:52,000 right? Okay. So, um I guess yeah, how how will you ensure 620 01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:55,119 your company the company will ensure that they're practicing what we're 621 01:50:54,320 --> 01:51:00,639 paying for, >> right? So, when we 622 01:50:58,239 --> 01:51:06,480 come into the building, that's where our coaches come in, check in those monthly 623 01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:11,760 leader check-ins, um district and school check-ins help follow up with the uh 624 01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:16,719 with the leaders. But in the beginning, our coaches are going to make sure that 625 01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:21,679 the principles understand the necessity, not just the principles, the MTSS team 626 01:51:19,440 --> 01:51:28,719 understand the necessity of that data in order to track their own progress. And I 627 01:51:24,719 --> 01:51:32,560 believe that that is mostly the issue. Most of our educators when we enter into 628 01:51:31,119 --> 01:51:37,599 partnerships with school districts, their leaders don't 629 01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:41,840 find value in data. So part of that conversation is to make sure that they 630 01:51:39,599 --> 01:51:46,800 understand that data and that it is collected. We are developing going to 631 01:51:43,599 --> 01:51:50,880 develop a data review cadence with the schools and it is something that our 632 01:51:48,880 --> 01:51:54,480 coaches are going to walk with them and make sure that they do and with the 633 01:51:53,040 --> 01:52:00,800 check-ins to make sure that they have that data. It's going to take time to 634 01:51:57,119 --> 01:52:03,840 change minds and shift paradigms, but we've done it in the past in other 635 01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:09,119 districts and I feel confident that we can do it this time. Okay, great. Any 636 01:52:07,199 --> 01:52:12,159 other questions from the board? All right. Thank you so much, 637 01:52:10,719 --> 01:52:17,880 » Dr. Williams Ashley. Thank you. >> Thank you. 638 01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:17,880 » All right. 639 01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:27,560 » Okay. See, Antelope Valley Schools Transportation ASTA report update.

So, thank you. >> Thank you. 667 01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:14,639 » Thank you, Mr. Vensor. Are you all right? 668 01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:16,719 » I think I'm ready to go again. Sorry about that. 669 01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:22,960 » So, we left off on the CEO. >> Yes.

Are there any comments from the public on agenda items? 677 01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:55,760 » We don't have any agenda item comments. >> G.

The first is Meredith Graham and it's on 691 01:55:51,280 --> 01:55:57,360 the topic human trafficking and victims of violence resources. Welcome Meredith 692 01:55:56,639 --> 01:56:00,000 Graham. >> Welcome. 693 01:55:58,080 --> 01:56:04,239 » Thank you so much for allowing me this time. Um my name is Meredith Graham. I'm 694 01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:08,159 a family nurse practitioner here in the Analopee Valley. I'm here with AV 695 01:56:06,159 --> 01:56:11,920 Pathways to Justice and Healing. We are a nonprofit that is helping victims of 696 01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:15,520 violence and human trafficking. We're hoping to open a standalone sexual 697 01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:20,000 assault response team center here in the Analopee Valley soon. That's one of our 698 01:56:17,679 --> 01:56:23,520 goals. But I'm here today to just bring the topic to your attention and also to 699 01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:27,440 invite you to our call to action symposium that is going to be in 700 01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:30,880 September on the 16th. The location is still to be determined unfortunately, 701 01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:36,159 but we'll follow back up with you for that. Um, human trafficking and victims 702 01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:40,480 of violence is a hot topic to put it nicely, right? The Analopee Valley 703 01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:44,880 unfortunately leads the Los Angeles County in prehosp pediatric death 704 01:56:42,880 --> 01:56:49,119 related to child abuse. That means that more children die here in the Analopee 705 01:56:47,360 --> 01:56:53,119 Valley than anywhere else in Los Angeles County at the hands of their family 706 01:56:50,880 --> 01:56:57,760 related to child abuse and neglect. We have a large amount of human trafficking 707 01:56:55,360 --> 01:57:01,920 and including children in that. Right? So there's 40 million slaves in the 708 01:56:59,599 --> 01:57:06,480 world right now by estimate. Remember, bad guys don't report numbers. So 40 709 01:57:04,400 --> 01:57:11,599 million is an estimate based on posts survivor data. And so 25% of that 40 710 01:57:09,679 --> 01:57:16,159 million is children, right? So that's, you know, 12 to 15 million. Here in the 711 01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:20,000 Analopee Valley, we see large amounts of human trafficking. People always ask me, 712 01:57:18,239 --> 01:57:24,000 oh, are you doing awareness uh education? And I do, but I like to tell 713 01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:26,880 people, you're already aware. Everybody here knows where you can buy a human 714 01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:31,040 being. If I ask you, you'll know that the location is out in public on Sierra 715 01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:34,400 Highway. so everyone is aware. I'm here to help everybody understand. Here at 716 01:57:33,040 --> 01:57:39,360 the high school district, I have been invited to speak at Teen Talk. I've 717 01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:43,840 spoken with your um educators and I'm hoping to just continue to reach out to 718 01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:48,880 you with that and invite you to the symposium. One of our goals is in 719 01:57:46,320 --> 01:57:52,320 January to offer a summit to all to invite all schools in the Analopee 720 01:57:50,400 --> 01:57:57,920 Valley to share their best practices to develop resources and policies. when 721 01:57:55,360 --> 01:58:01,599 people are in crisis, they need to be able to go somewhere. So, in healthcare, 722 01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:04,880 there are these large red bu, you know, red um letters on the side of the 723 01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:08,560 building that says emergency and it calls out to the community and says come 724 01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:12,320 here and we can help you. And in schools, we tell children and their 725 01:58:10,239 --> 01:58:16,400 families, come talk to the counselors, etc. So, what we're hoping to do in 726 01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:20,800 September is to network with all of the community members here in the Analopee 727 01:58:18,080 --> 01:58:24,320 Valley and bring the resources together, working with LA County Mental Health to 728 01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:27,679 create a database to give back to your social workers, to give back to your 729 01:58:25,679 --> 01:58:31,599 schools, so that that way there's actual help that can be offered to families. 730 01:58:30,239 --> 01:58:34,800 You know, domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, human 731 01:58:33,040 --> 01:58:38,719 trafficking, it's all bad and we're famous for it here in the Analope 732 01:58:36,159 --> 01:58:41,840 Valley. Preventing it is a whole other topic. I would just like to address the 733 01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:45,520 fact that we need to do something for the people who have already experienced 734 01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:48,719 it and they're present alive and well in your schools. Traffickers will drop off 735 01:58:47,119 --> 01:58:52,880 students and then pick them up at the end of the day. So, it's a it's a 736 01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:55,280 problem and we would like to help you with that. So, I don't know if that was 737 01:58:54,320 --> 01:58:57,679 three minutes or not, but >> yeah, you're you're at your time, but if 738 01:58:56,719 --> 01:59:01,360 you need to >> if you need more time, we'll listen. 739 01:58:59,199 --> 01:59:03,679 » Oh, that's it.

Um, can you make sure to give Mr. Nihan your business card 741 01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:15,760 » or or maybe get Mr. Mr. Nhan's card. >> Um, Mr. Nan, I would love if maybe Miss 742 01:59:12,080 --> 01:59:18,960 Graham could be SSRB like one of our for safe schools. I mean, safe schools and 743 01:59:17,920 --> 01:59:22,960 responsible behavior. We have an advisory that we open and welcome and I 744 01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:25,440 would love to you for you to be around the table.

Yes. 857 02:06:49,679 --> 02:06:53,119 » I'll do a motion. >> Second. 858 02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:54,480 That was no discussion. >> All right, 859 02:06:53,599 --> 02:07:00,960 » Madam President. >> Um, so I just wanted to pull or talk 860 02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:08,000 about 11A which includes our dress and grooming updated policy and I'm really 861 02:07:04,639 --> 02:07:11,760 um happy for what so thank you for who I know Christina's team was really 862 02:07:10,159 --> 02:07:17,760 instrumental in that and then talking with I'm sure Mr. Millings and Miss 863 02:07:14,239 --> 02:07:22,320 Houseman and others. Um, and I hope the board 864 02:07:20,320 --> 02:07:28,880 agrees with what we're trying to do, which is really uplift the 865 02:07:26,079 --> 02:07:34,239 role model of a teacher, of an employee, of a staff, of how we are carrying 866 02:07:31,280 --> 02:07:39,280 ourselves through wardrobe. So, um, hopefully we'll consider that as we 867 02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:43,840 vote. And then 11s, 868 02:07:41,520 --> 02:07:50,960 Google Workspace. Um 869 02:07:46,560 --> 02:07:55,520 I am just still really concerned that AI and PD especially with this great 870 02:07:52,880 --> 02:08:00,239 statistic I just learned 5% is what is learned in professional development is 871 02:07:57,520 --> 02:08:07,360 actually applied and practiced. So we're extending um the license went from 200 872 02:08:03,199 --> 02:08:15,280 licenses to now 600 licenses. Um, we did get an additional information, but um, I 873 02:08:11,599 --> 02:08:22,159 I I understand AI is here. It is not going anywhere. I am just a little 874 02:08:18,480 --> 02:08:26,400 apprehensive on us just putting more AI out there when students are already 875 02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:31,440 starting to feel concerned that some teachers are relying too much on it for 876 02:08:28,719 --> 02:08:35,199 lesson planning and all their worksheets look the same and those sorts of things. 877 02:08:33,679 --> 02:08:42,079 So, I I I um I just have a concern, but I 878 02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:47,840 just wanted to say that out loud for AI, but it is here. I get it. So, and then 879 02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:53,679 donations 14A, 880 02:08:49,520 --> 02:08:57,599 thank you to our donors for the donations that you graciously give our 881 02:08:55,760 --> 02:09:01,760 students and our district. So appreciated. 882 02:08:59,199 --> 02:09:08,639 Um, okay. So, we Excuse me, Mr. Nihen. Um, 883 02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:12,560 if I wanted to vote separately on the Google AI, can we do that or 884 02:09:11,679 --> 02:09:14,400 » for a separate vote? >> Yeah, let's pull that for a separate 885 02:09:13,760 --> 02:09:17,440 vote. >> Everything else, 886 02:09:15,199 --> 02:09:22,480 » everything else can be together. >> May I uh just real quickly um Google 887 02:09:20,639 --> 02:09:28,560 Workspace and I think you may be talking about Gemini, which is the um other 888 02:09:24,719 --> 02:09:34,400 item, which is the actual AI item. Um there are two different are you 889 02:09:31,599 --> 02:09:39,199 » um you pulled S which is the workspace which is like Google Docs and um 890 02:09:36,719 --> 02:09:41,119 » really important items. Yeah. >> Um 891 02:09:39,679 --> 02:09:45,360 » what's the AI one? >> X. That's uh 11X. 892 02:09:43,599 --> 02:09:49,840 » 11X. >> Sorry. Let's amend our minutes. 893 02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:52,159 » You said S. I heard X. >> Oh, you did. 894 02:09:50,960 --> 02:09:55,920 » Oh, that's funny. >> No, I'm referring to the AI that is 895 02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:56,719 taking over our world. >> Okay. 896 02:09:56,400 --> 02:10:01,280 » Okay. >> Gotcha. Not S. Apologies. Did I mean to 897 02:09:59,679 --> 02:10:05,679 scare teachers? >> Clarification for my motion. We're gonna 898 02:10:03,280 --> 02:10:10,639 vote on everything except for X >> X as presented. Yeah. Or as written. 899 02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:13,520 » Discuss it. So I'll my motion. So we need to second. [snorts] 900 02:10:11,760 --> 02:10:16,320 » Amend the second, please. Somebody >> second. 901 02:10:14,159 --> 02:10:19,119 » Okay. So Miss Man. All right. So we're going to first vote on the big 902 02:10:18,079 --> 02:10:20,880 collective. >> All those in favor say I. 903 02:10:20,560 --> 02:10:25,119 » I. >> I. 904 02:10:22,560 --> 02:10:28,159 » Any opposed? No. Okay. And then we're going to vote separately on X. 905 02:10:27,040 --> 02:10:30,960 » A motion in a second. >> Can we get a motion? Can I get a second? 906 02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:35,520 » I'll make a second. >> All right. Discuss it again. 907 02:10:33,199 --> 02:10:41,599 » I mean, what do you all think? Can Can you give me some of your thoughts on AI 908 02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:46,719 and this particular extension by 200%. >> Well, I'm 909 02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:50,320 the oldest here, I think. >> What? Of course you are. 910 02:10:48,239 --> 02:10:53,760 » You're like 22, right? >> Stupid question. I know. I would love to 911 02:10:52,239 --> 02:10:57,760 hear your thought. oldest and I'm using it. 912 02:10:54,960 --> 02:11:03,360 » No, it's not about using I I get your concern. What I'm saying is that I'm I'm 913 02:11:00,880 --> 02:11:11,199 not old. My daughter calls me middleag. So, I'm not old yet at 57, but 914 02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:15,119 but I'm using it, which is in in crazy and incredible and it's amazing. Now, I 915 02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:19,199 understand there's we have to look at it and there's going to be some concerns, 916 02:11:16,480 --> 02:11:23,360 but I don't think that we need to stop it from our teachers or from our staff. 917 02:11:21,920 --> 02:11:28,719 I mean, we should be giving them all the tools and then it's a management issue 918 02:11:26,480 --> 02:11:32,719 on how they use it and that's a policy issue, but this is just giving them my 919 02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:36,239 understanding, Dr. G, this is just giving them more ability for it. 920 02:11:34,800 --> 02:11:40,639 Correct. And we're paying for it. >> Correct. It's the upgraded version of 921 02:11:37,760 --> 02:11:44,000 Gemini, so it it gives them a whole host of different things that they can do 922 02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:46,800 above and beyond the free version. >> So, we're already doing this. We're just 923 02:11:45,440 --> 02:11:48,719 going to pay for it. It's a better version. 924 02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:52,960 » Well, and the reason we Yeah. The reason we go with Gemini is because within our 925 02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:58,480 system, the Google system, it's much more safe for everybody and um and the 926 02:11:56,719 --> 02:12:01,679 information if you're using chat GPT just goes out there and this way we have 927 02:12:00,320 --> 02:12:05,520 it within our system >> and you guys got directions on how to 928 02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:07,280 use it. We got policies and all that, right? 929 02:12:06,320 --> 02:12:11,280 » Yes. >> I did ask about a lot of questions in 930 02:12:09,199 --> 02:12:15,760 regards to that too and how I don't know. Um he said that the price is about 931 02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:19,679 $167 per license. I think that's what we talked about this morning, Greg. Right. 932 02:12:17,199 --> 02:12:23,599 So comparable to what the other platforms are charging, I I think that 933 02:12:22,320 --> 02:12:26,719 the increase was a need that the teachers requested, right? I think 934 02:12:25,199 --> 02:12:29,520 there's a demand for it. >> I don't think it's just teachers. I 935 02:12:28,159 --> 02:12:32,800 think it's staff >> teachers and staff. 936 02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:37,920 » But I think that we are challenged with navigating our district through this AI 937 02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:41,599 revolution. And I do believe that the usage I mean there's the teachers don't 938 02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:45,119 trust it. The students don't trust it. It's just not trusted. So I think we 939 02:12:43,599 --> 02:12:48,960 always do trust and verify, trust and verify. 940 02:12:45,599 --> 02:12:53,119 » It's a tool. But yes, yes, but it's here and it's not going away, right? 941 02:12:50,960 --> 02:12:56,480 » And I think that there's oversight and I love that you have oversight and I love 942 02:12:54,960 --> 02:13:00,560 that the children I was so surprised when I heard their feedback on the AI. 943 02:12:59,040 --> 02:13:03,920 » But I do believe that this is a very good tool for our teachers, our staff 944 02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:07,360 and I and there will be problems just we we have to anticipate not when there is 945 02:13:05,679 --> 02:13:10,480 problems, you know, if there's problems, when the problems arise, we will be 946 02:13:08,960 --> 02:13:15,520 writing more policies in regards to this. We will be um getting more 947 02:13:13,520 --> 02:13:20,880 feedback. one day you'll be forming a committee on AI. So all that it has to 948 02:13:18,639 --> 02:13:25,520 begin. Oh, another one. >> But uh but it has to begin somewhere, 949 02:13:23,040 --> 02:13:30,880 right? Um I wasn't sure though if we did research if um against chatgbt or 950 02:13:28,639 --> 02:13:33,280 against claude was any of those comparisons done on what would be best 951 02:13:32,239 --> 02:13:36,400 for the teachers and >> it just works with our system that we 952 02:13:34,960 --> 02:13:40,079 already have within Google >> and we keep it within the within the 953 02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:46,560 system itself. So it's not like out in the world. Then would it be used or does 954 02:13:43,040 --> 02:13:50,639 this license protect the the information from for example if teachers begin to 955 02:13:48,560 --> 02:13:54,320 upload private information for the students? 956 02:13:51,760 --> 02:13:59,040 » Yes. And that like I said if you use like a chat GBT it's just out there for 957 02:13:56,800 --> 02:14:03,760 anybody to access or who knows but within our system it's protected has 958 02:14:01,360 --> 02:14:06,880 safeguards in that sense and you're I'm sorry 959 02:14:04,880 --> 02:14:10,560 » and it's is it a closed system >> with our Google system it's a closed 960 02:14:08,639 --> 02:14:14,000 system. Okay. So yes, so that's very important to make sure it's a closed 961 02:14:11,760 --> 02:14:17,599 system because we're learning, right? We're learning with our own questions 962 02:14:15,920 --> 02:14:19,599 and all that stuff, but it's not getting out there and other people are grabbing 963 02:14:18,960 --> 02:14:22,560 our stuff. >> Correct. And and to answer your question 964 02:14:21,040 --> 02:14:24,400 on training, in order to get this license, they have to go through a 965 02:14:23,840 --> 02:14:27,679 training. >> Okay. 966 02:14:24,960 --> 02:14:31,440 » And and we're using it for school, not like they're going to go search 967 02:14:29,520 --> 02:14:34,719 something for their personal because that's going to, 968 02:14:32,320 --> 02:14:36,719 » you know, stuff in our cloud. We don't want that, 969 02:14:35,360 --> 02:14:40,800 » right? and a lot of our support staff have really been um liking it as well 970 02:14:38,800 --> 02:14:45,360 and using it. So a lot of our classified and um certificated are using it 971 02:14:42,880 --> 02:14:49,599 » and the license then becomes it's it's owned by the district. So the search, 972 02:14:48,079 --> 02:14:53,280 the chats, >> the data, everything that is created 973 02:14:51,599 --> 02:14:55,199 through this would then belong to the district. 974 02:14:54,079 --> 02:14:58,800 » Correct. Yeah. >> And that would be those records could be 975 02:14:57,360 --> 02:15:02,480 pulled at any time if there was ever a concern of security. We don't need the 976 02:15:00,480 --> 02:15:04,480 staff or permission to pull those records. 977 02:15:02,960 --> 02:15:07,760 » Absolutely. So if anything was being done that could, you know, cause issues, 978 02:15:06,560 --> 02:15:11,119 we'd be able to pull that data up. >> Yeah, I feel more comfortable with that 979 02:15:09,119 --> 02:15:15,920 as well. Carlin, >> um, 980 02:15:13,520 --> 02:15:21,760 so then with that, considering and listening to my board members, um, the 981 02:15:18,880 --> 02:15:27,280 AI I know we have the community AI work task force. So what I would like us to 982 02:15:25,520 --> 02:15:32,719 do and whether this is an ad hoc subcommittee to that just for our 983 02:15:29,280 --> 02:15:38,639 district is to really get a sense of digital literacy and AI and really using 984 02:15:35,599 --> 02:15:44,239 it. I I have a I'm an I am a teacher. I'm an educator. So is it being used 985 02:15:41,599 --> 02:15:51,040 with integrity, best practices, etc., etc. Um so I want to feel good about 986 02:15:48,880 --> 02:15:56,159 voting on something that's taxpayer money, right? and that our kids are 987 02:15:53,360 --> 02:16:03,760 getting the minds of staff, teachers, and classified and not a robot, if that 988 02:15:59,679 --> 02:16:07,920 makes sense. Um, so everything with a responsibility, Madam President. I 989 02:16:05,679 --> 02:16:14,079 understand that it's hard to to let go of how we how we were teaching kids 990 02:16:11,280 --> 02:16:16,480 before to now a new phase of teaching. So, 991 02:16:15,199 --> 02:16:19,119 » and you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. I think that our teachers do 992 02:16:18,079 --> 02:16:22,639 very good. Yes, >> our staff and our administrators are 993 02:16:21,440 --> 02:16:28,960 doing their best. So, >> we are not the only ones. Every industry 994 02:16:26,320 --> 02:16:31,119 across the world is navigating the challenges that we are currently 995 02:16:30,159 --> 02:16:34,719 navigating. >> Our responsibility to the children, to 996 02:16:32,719 --> 02:16:39,200 the staff, and to the community to make sure that we keep them ahead of every 997 02:16:36,399 --> 02:16:44,624 not ahead but if ahead >> yeah we we have that responsibility. So, 998 02:16:41,120 --> 02:16:49,040 what you are feeling is very very common [snorts] and now I I spoke to Mr. Nhan 999 02:16:47,200 --> 02:16:54,000 about it. How are we going to navigate 2400 staff members through this AI 1000 02:16:51,840 --> 02:16:58,479 revolution and I think 19,000 children. This is not easy. What you are feeling 1001 02:16:55,439 --> 02:17:02,639 is real. It is challenging but it is necessary and it's here. 1002 02:16:59,920 --> 02:17:06,000 » Yeah. So how do we determine who the 600 are to get the use? 1003 02:17:04,240 --> 02:17:10,719 » Um they have to go through the training. So there there is one training that's 1004 02:17:07,920 --> 02:17:16,319 Google AI um for educators and then there's a training u that's Google AI or 1005 02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:20,080 Gen AI for public professionals. That's for the classified side. So, in order to 1006 02:17:18,559 --> 02:17:23,760 get the license, they have to complete the training. 1007 02:17:22,479 --> 02:17:27,760 » They've been asking for, right? So, that's why we did this the smaller 1008 02:17:25,280 --> 02:17:31,359 sample originally to see um if there was going to be a lot of interest and it 1009 02:17:29,040 --> 02:17:35,040 just took off. You know, a lot of people are very interested in being trained on 1010 02:17:33,280 --> 02:17:39,519 it and using it. And then through the task force we could um start to create 1011 02:17:37,920 --> 02:17:43,760 the the rules, the guidelines and the policies where maybe we do release a 1012 02:17:41,519 --> 02:17:47,599 caption that says AI generated or in what is being released to the students. 1013 02:17:45,679 --> 02:17:53,040 A lot of the companies are doing that where you have to mark hey this was 1014 02:17:49,359 --> 02:17:56,479 generated by AI. Um so we also know like what you saying what percentage is 1015 02:17:54,800 --> 02:18:01,120 robot, what percentage is real and how much each teacher is investing or each 1016 02:17:58,319 --> 02:18:04,479 um staff member is investing in creating good things for our students because 1017 02:18:02,719 --> 02:18:08,719 that's what this is for. It is a tool and we are equipping our staff with the 1018 02:18:06,319 --> 02:18:12,319 best tools to create better things for our students. 1019 02:18:10,719 --> 02:18:15,760 That might be good.
