00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:01,950
Board President, 30 seconds of pass and there's no college at this time.

11
00:01:02,370 --> 00:01:04,050

We convenes to open session items to report.

15
00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:24,990

17
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:48,330
During close session the board approved the certificate of personnel report 5.0 with two absent trustee non-deep Singh was absent and trustee

18
00:01:48,330 --> 00:01:55,950

20
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,580
There's nothing additional to report from close session.

21
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:12,380
Our next item on the agenda is the oath of office. So at this time, I will administer the oath

22
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:17,860
of office for newly elected student members. This year, we will be swearing in all of our

23
00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:34,380
Board student trustees, as a reminder, each of our trustees serves once a master, however in an effort to better prepare them and expose them to the materials that we're all receiving and if they want to participate and attend any of the board meetings they're all being sworn in today.

24
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000
I believe we have three of the four.

25
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:38,600

Thank you.

39
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:35,010
So

00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,200

58
00:06:57,330 --> 00:07:01,590
Hi, I am Alia Rivas and I begin my term in the fall.

59
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:08,810
Oh, in the spring, sorry. Hi, I am Jasmine Broward and I begin my term in the fall semester.

60
00:07:10,450 --> 00:07:13,470
Hi, my name is Sumer and I begin my term in fall.

61
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:19,470
Hello everyone, my name is Grisorgher Singh and I will begin my term in spring January 26th.

62
00:07:23,910 --> 00:07:27,690
You can display your certificates and I'll invite the rest of the board to come and take your picture.

63
00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:57,400
So now that you've both been sworn in, and this will apply to our other two student trustees come January, except I will no longer be serving on the board, there will be at least two familiar faces that you will see again, for sure,

64
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,020
Trustees to do and then Trustee Kirk and then we hope you will see some of our other colleagues again

65
00:09:04,740 --> 00:09:11,120
but at least these are two faces that you will recognize. So after as we move down the agenda

66
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:17,660
on any items where the board has discussion after we take the presentation any public comment,

67
00:09:18,140 --> 00:09:21,900
I will then open the floor and ask either of you if you have any comments,

68
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:27,760
great if you do any questions or just a comment that you want to share and then I'll

69
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,280
open it up for the rest of the board members. Once we conclude if it's an action item

70
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:40,900
I will ask for a motion and a second. As student trustees are board bylaw does allow you to make

71
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:47,840
a motion and so you can simply say I will repeat what I'm asking the board to do on an item

72
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,900
and you can say so moved, or you can say I second that,

73
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:54,000
or I move to approve whatever the action is.

74
00:09:54,740 --> 00:09:59,100
When once the item has been moved or motioned

75
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:02,280
and a second has been taken, I will ask for a vote.

76
00:10:02,620 --> 00:10:05,220
I will first take your votes as are student trustees,

77
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:07,800
and then I will take the remainder of the board.

78
00:10:08,260 --> 00:10:10,420
And that's consistent with what the law requires

79
00:10:10,420 --> 00:10:12,280
that you provide a provisional vote.

80
00:10:12,540 --> 00:10:15,640
The intent is that to the extent that items are directly

81
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,780
related to students that you have the ability to potentially influence our decision making by voting first.

82
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:29,720
So, if at any point you have any questions, just turn on your mic and speak up, and I will try to answer whatever questions you have.

83
00:10:30,140 --> 00:10:30,140
Okay.

84
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,220
And with that, congratulations and welcome. We will move on to our pledge of allegiance,

85
00:10:37,420 --> 00:10:39,980
if I can please have Vice President Seller's lead us.

86
00:11:02,460 --> 00:11:03,720
Thank you, Vice President Seller's.

87
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,500
We move on to our community engagement information.

88
00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:11,280
Do we have our interpreters, translators, present?

89
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,940
We do not.

90
00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:19,480
Okay, if anybody needs interpreting services, let us know.

91
00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:21,960
We move on to presentations.

92
00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:24,880
We'll first hear from the Foundation for Central Schools.

93
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:27,580
I invite Executive Director Dohan.

94
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:37,890
Okay, good evening.

95
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:38,950
Good evening.

96
00:11:38,950 --> 00:11:43,250
President and trustees, thank you for letting me share the latest from Foundation for Essential

97
00:11:43,250 --> 00:11:43,990
Schools.

98
00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:46,770
Welcome to our student trustees.

99
00:11:47,550 --> 00:11:49,010
One is very familiar.

100
00:11:49,070 --> 00:11:51,970
She's been a volunteer with the Foundation, Jasmine.

101
00:11:52,650 --> 00:11:54,270
So thank you for helping over the summer.

102
00:11:55,870 --> 00:11:58,770
We have officially kicked off a new school year.

103
00:11:59,390 --> 00:12:06,670
Our Foundation Board has approved a $352,000 operating budget, which is a 14% increase

104
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:09,550
from last year, focusing on three main goals.

105
00:12:10,090 --> 00:12:13,590
I did provide also a handout with a brief overview of that as well.

106
00:12:14,010 --> 00:12:16,090
Supporting three main goals supporting classrooms,

107
00:12:16,810 --> 00:12:19,910
providing district wide resources, and growing our scholarships.

108
00:12:20,610 --> 00:12:23,530
We want to make sure that every classroom has what it needs

109
00:12:23,530 --> 00:12:26,610
day to day, we'll also backing big picture projects

110
00:12:26,610 --> 00:12:28,750
that help all of our students district wide.

111
00:12:29,390 --> 00:12:32,550
Plus, our scholarship and endowment programs are expanding

112
00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:35,610
to help even more students reach their college dreams.

113
00:12:35,610 --> 00:12:45,530
This year we are expecting to award 30 scholarships across 10 programs with three endowed scholarships carrying on central communities legacy.

114
00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:52,030
We're also giving every first year teacher a $300 grant to help them settle in.

115
00:12:52,610 --> 00:12:59,970
So the new teacher grants are back this year, which we're very happy that the amount is at $300 previously.

116
00:12:59,970 --> 00:13:06,270
that was a much smaller amount. So we're very happy to offer that incentive this year.

117
00:13:06,910 --> 00:13:12,290
Additionally, the classroom and club grant applications are still open until October 31st.

118
00:13:13,090 --> 00:13:19,970
I was able to share that information during our admin institute and also PDD days and also visiting

119
00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:26,570
some of our school sites as well encouraging to apply and access a very simple online application.

120
00:13:26,570 --> 00:13:33,470
So we'll be awarding $45,000 to classrooms all over the district, and thanks to our Kaiser

121
00:13:33,470 --> 00:13:39,210
Permanente Benefits Program grant, projects focused on mental health and social emotional

122
00:13:39,210 --> 00:13:42,510
learning will get priority funding this year.

123
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:49,050
On top of that, in partnership with Kaiser, we are launching a district-wide mental health

124
00:13:49,050 --> 00:13:56,210
campaign. That includes funding yet again for our buddy boxes, which are distributed throughout

125
00:13:56,210 --> 00:14:03,190
the elementary schools through the NAMI clubs at all three high school. Our students go out

126
00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:10,370
and distribute these buddy boxes and also do a presentation on mental health, the really fabulous

127
00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:17,570
opportunity. In addition, Justin Guards and High School has been selected to attend the California

128
00:14:17,570 --> 00:14:30,810
National Alliance of Mental, I'm sorry, the NAMI acronym I always get caught up, but they will be presenting at that conference this year and October and the foundation is also supporting that for them this year.

129
00:14:32,390 --> 00:14:45,510
We'll also be partnering with Central High School Leadership and again, all NAMI clubs to introduce a mental health minute campaign, which will be a video series of student voices around mental health.

130
00:14:46,690 --> 00:14:52,010
We've also teamed up with the assistance leak of Fresno to give 400 students a $100 shopping

131
00:14:52,010 --> 00:14:58,130
spree for school shopping and this past weekend we did send 100 kits to Burlington to get

132
00:14:58,130 --> 00:14:59,570
that school shopping that they needed.

133
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:12,220
And in just a couple of weeks, even though it is a little warm, we are launching the warm for winter annual application, where students can apply for outerwear.

134
00:15:12,940 --> 00:15:23,120
And this year's host school will be McKinley Elementary. Last year, we distributed nearly 3,000 outerwear units across the district to students who needed them.

135
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:32,080
Our food pantries will also resume operation in late September, including the grand opening of the Panther Pantry at Hanfantilly Elementary.

136
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:44,020
And one more thing to mark on your calendars coming up really fast is the State of the District on October 29th, which will be at 6pm at Parthenes.

137
00:15:44,020 --> 00:15:48,600
We are now accepting nominations for this year's Pillar Champion Awards.

138
00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:51,880
Five individuals and one business will be honored.

139
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,540
The five individuals can be a central employee with a minimum of five years of employment.

140
00:15:57,540 --> 00:16:02,720
This is an opportunity for our staff to honor an employee.

141
00:16:02,860 --> 00:16:05,360
And this will be the fifth year of us doing so.

142
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,340
And recently we were nationally acknowledged at Enspar,

143
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:11,880
which was very exciting for this initiative.

144
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:25,760
So, again, the pillar champion awards nominations are available on our website and all of the information that I did share tonight is available on our website.

145
00:16:25,940 --> 00:16:33,640
It's very user friendly for teachers and families to find all this information and take advantage of it.

146
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:40,880
Our foundation board is meeting by monthly this school year and as always, I am available to answer any questions.

147
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,080
If you have any, thank you so much for your continued support and I do hope to see you all at

148
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:46,840
State of the District.

149
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:48,180
It will be in the evenings.

150
00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:50,360
I hope that works much better with everyone's schedule.

151
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:52,640
Thank you.

152
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:55,980
Any questions or comments from our student trustees?

153
00:16:57,460 --> 00:16:59,020
Any questions or comments from the Board?

154
00:16:59,540 --> 00:16:59,940
Trustee Kirk.

155
00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:01,220
Thank you so much.

156
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:01,840
Thank you.

157
00:17:02,060 --> 00:17:02,520
In good evening.

158
00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:03,660
Good to see you back again.

159
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,860
Why don't we question us to with the budget allocation?

160
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,740
I'm not sure if I'm reading that.

161
00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:10,220
Graph.

162
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:16,560
Quickly, is that where the $322,000 is showing how it's allocated?

163
00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:17,340
Yes.

164
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Educational impact is the big bulk of that.

165
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,520
It's going to be the first chart there.

166
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,700
Scholarships and business expenses is a very small percentage.

167
00:17:25,020 --> 00:17:31,860
And then, of course, our fundraisers, which do give us back about 170% return in value.

168
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:33,160
Is this a bar graph?

169
00:17:33,340 --> 00:17:33,660
It is.

170
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,180
I'm sorry.

171
00:17:34,460 --> 00:17:35,900
It's an exact way.

172
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,680
That makes much more sense than that.

173
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:38,060
No worries.

174
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:43,080
Any other questions or comments?

175
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,720
Trustee Nandipsing.

176
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,220
Thank you for going.

177
00:17:47,580 --> 00:17:52,460
I just want to appreciate you and the foundation, especially, you know, the continued focus

178
00:17:52,460 --> 00:17:54,480
with our Nami clubs and around mental health.

179
00:17:54,580 --> 00:17:58,260
I think that's overwhelmingly a common theme that I continue to hear so.

180
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,300
Really appreciate that.

181
00:17:59,380 --> 00:18:00,160
You all kind of sent me.

182
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,080
Thank you.

183
00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:01,980
Thank you so much.

184
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:03,020
And my apologies.

185
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,660
We do have our board treasurer, Valeria Garcia joining us this evening.

186
00:18:08,460 --> 00:18:14,820
We did have some other boards, but I apologize on the time of tonight's board meeting so I did say seven o'clock.

187
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:18,080
But again, I do want to say thank you to our board.

188
00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:22,820
We have a full board again moving into this school year, which is wonderful.

189
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:30,360
I believe there's eight of us, including Trustee President Carillo and Dr. Marshall as well with sitting position.

190
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,720
So we are very excited to have a full board this year.

191
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:42,820
So I'll see you guys one more time, Trustee Krio, and Trustee Seasing, and I personally would

192
00:18:42,820 --> 00:18:44,580
just want to say thank you.

193
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:51,640
You guys have been here for my nearly seven years and have been part of my initial job here.

194
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,480
So I appreciate your continued support and everything that you two especially helped develop

195
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,440
in what this foundation is today and we're really just getting started.

196
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:10,080
I think we laid the work that had to be done with the branding and I'm excited to see what the future holds for our foundation.

197
00:19:11,020 --> 00:19:21,300
Thank you, Director Dohee, and I'll just remind the board as I tend to do every quarterly update, and especially as both trustee and Undoopsing and I conclude our service.

198
00:19:21,980 --> 00:19:24,220
It's that we fund her position.

199
00:19:24,220 --> 00:19:48,320
And right now, it's her position, but that particular, and it was our commitment back in 2019, 2020 maybe, you can someone can fact check me on that, and it was a commitment of the board then to ensure that we also contributed and created a sustainable plan because of the growth and the commitment that we expected and we have seen, and that's really been your efforts.

200
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,320
those were the expectations of the position, but you really have flourished and really given

201
00:19:53,320 --> 00:20:01,160
a lot to our community and have worked and developed many partnerships to be able to expand

202
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,920
the scholarships that we give to our students and to our teachers.

203
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,460
And so that's all your work.

204
00:20:05,740 --> 00:20:06,540
So thank you very much.

205
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:11,440
It's a small contribution that we do in funding that position, but thank you very much.

206
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,560
And I hope that the board will continue to support you and support the foundation.

207
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:22,920
deepen I won't be too far away, so you'll still see us around. I enjoy the the food drive that we do in December and

208
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:29,660
so I'll probably continue to support the district with that, but I encourage you all to continue to support the district and our

209
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:35,160
foundation. It's given a lot to our students, so thank you for your hard work and and the rest of the board members

210
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,020
because we know you're all volunteers, so thank you.

211
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,240
Thank you. Thank you.

212
00:20:52,170 --> 00:20:53,050
Thank you.

213
00:20:53,050 --> 00:21:00,150
remotely, our meetings do start at 530, and historically, well, historically, about three or four months ago,

214
00:21:00,350 --> 00:21:06,090
we changed it so that our open session begins as soon as we conclude close session and no longer

215
00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:10,730
limited to 7 PM. So if anyone is watching, if you intend to provide public comment,

216
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:22,410
I suggest you safely drive over or you call in the number is 5592763150, and we will take your public comment shortly.

217
00:21:23,250 --> 00:21:28,750
The next items are centering and if I teach our employees association highlights.

218
00:21:29,010 --> 00:21:34,830
Do we have President Bolton from the centering and if I teach our association?

219
00:21:36,130 --> 00:21:37,050
We do not.

220
00:21:37,510 --> 00:21:41,850
Do we have President and Geogiri from the California School Employees Association?

221
00:21:43,330 --> 00:21:43,490
Okay.

222
00:21:44,350 --> 00:21:50,290
We move on to item number three, receive information regarding ethnic studies, course update, director English.

223
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,480
And I have director-inclusion, that's not your complete title, right?

224
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,700
What is your complete?

225
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,700
Sorry, it's been a minute since I've been up here.

226
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,680
Diversity, equity, and inclusion.

227
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,740
Okay, that's what I thought.

228
00:22:13,020 --> 00:22:13,120
Thank you.

229
00:22:13,340 --> 00:22:14,740
Thank you.

230
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:15,760
The floor is yours.

231
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:17,440
Thank you so much.

232
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,120
Good evening.

233
00:22:18,740 --> 00:22:21,860
President Clareo, members of the board, and Superintendent Dr. Marshall.

234
00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:27,480
This is our progress update regarding the ethnic studies class, which was launched last

235
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,240
school year in 2526.

236
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:37,300
So, before we begin just talking about how the course was structured once again. This is modeled after the California State.

237
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:45,720
Model course curriculum and as we went through that board approval process, if you remember just to get that feedback, making sure that we were following all the guidelines.

238
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:55,440
And what's important to know is that this is part of our district guiding principles and our core values that we want all of our students to become productive citizens.

239
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,380
and this course really helps students do that.

240
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,060
We are still using that state aligned model course curriculum

241
00:23:02,060 --> 00:23:05,960
and focusing on culture, identity, equity, and history.

242
00:23:06,780 --> 00:23:08,800
The different methodologies that take place.

243
00:23:08,940 --> 00:23:12,560
This is not just an open textbook class and answer questions,

244
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,080
but students are engaged in discussion.

245
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:17,620
They're engaged in different kind of projects,

246
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,440
once again, focusing on our four major ethnicities.

247
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,480
And what's really important is that the course evolves

248
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,620
based on our student's demographic, as well as the population of our area, and so in that we

249
00:23:28,620 --> 00:23:34,180
hope to foster critical thinking, empathy, and cultural competence. And so once again, this is

250
00:23:34,180 --> 00:23:40,000
for rolled out with our freshman students, however, those who did up to take had that opportunity

251
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:40,940
as well.

252
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:48,740
In the previous school year, we did have 10 teachers that were teaching this course

253
00:23:48,740 --> 00:23:54,780
through our comprehensive high schools, and so these, as you see on the slides, that has the breakdown

254
00:23:54,780 --> 00:24:00,000
where they were, with about 1,200 students participating students who were enrolled in

255
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,480
alternative sites or who decided to take the course early had that opportunity to do so

256
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,460
through the Eugenuity course. I was able to vet the course making sure that it's still

257
00:24:10,460 --> 00:24:16,400
honed and on those key concepts described on that previous slide so that they were receiving that

258
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,920
same course curriculum making sure that there is nothing and too hard because we know that when

259
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,060
they do have people who are providing information, we want to make sure that's aligned with

260
00:24:26,060 --> 00:24:29,520
our district values as well. So I was able to do that in that process.

261
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,300
Some of the professional learning that took place with those 10 teachers included that cultural

262
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:38,580
competency training. As we know that there are sensitive issues in this course and we

263
00:24:38,580 --> 00:24:45,080
wanted to make sure that people had the capacity to really be empathetic and supportive

264
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:51,520
teaching that course. Some of it is ever changing. One of our teachers at the time found

265
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,480
training on the APDA history, which is our Asian Pacific Islanders and Desi Americans,

266
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,440
and finding that to really gain some more information about that, because there's not a lot of

267
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:07,060
information, you know, in different capacities for that. We also had some shared planning and

268
00:25:07,060 --> 00:25:13,620
our professional learning communities, and then PBS Public Broadcast System. They did partner with

269
00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:19,320
some of our teachers through some different webinars and interactive components where they

270
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,400
some professional learning.

271
00:25:23,330 --> 00:25:26,610
I do have one teacher from Justin Garza High School, Mr. Josh

272
00:25:26,610 --> 00:25:31,590
Taber, who taught that class and he's going to share some experiences with us because I

273
00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:37,230
feel that it's best to hear from those actually in the field and talking about the experiences

274
00:25:37,230 --> 00:25:39,190
and so I like to invite him to speak.

275
00:25:41,930 --> 00:25:44,130
Good evening everybody. So I've been teaching this course

276
00:25:44,130 --> 00:25:49,150
for about four years. This is my second year as the PLC lead on this. What we've seen over the past

277
00:25:49,150 --> 00:25:52,850
year or so is a really strong student connection with our local issues.

278
00:25:53,230 --> 00:25:57,630
Our lesson that we'll be showing the next slide on redlining in Fresno has always really

279
00:25:57,630 --> 00:25:58,270
kind of attached.

280
00:25:58,370 --> 00:26:02,970
They've got really attached to seeing how the fabric of our city has changed, why our

281
00:26:02,970 --> 00:26:08,430
stereotypes may or may not be for those areas as we look at the history of racial housing discrimination

282
00:26:08,430 --> 00:26:13,530
and racist housing discrimination practices and how they have played out in those stereotypes

283
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:15,990
as well as the material conditions of those places.

284
00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:22,050
Along with our in-depth lessons on our non-communities, our Sikh communities, our Latino,

285
00:26:22,650 --> 00:26:26,390
Chicano Hispanic communities, our African-American communities, when those students

286
00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:30,410
have seen themselves in these lessons and on those slides, they have really connected

287
00:26:30,410 --> 00:26:34,770
to that and trying to figure out their identity as they move into high school.

288
00:26:35,270 --> 00:26:40,230
Going into this year, we are always trying to find more and more ways to really localize this

289
00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:46,270
material, myself and Cruz Pietra have been working hard to find more current local examples

290
00:26:46,270 --> 00:26:48,230
of the major ideas that we talk about.

291
00:26:48,350 --> 00:26:53,270
We are also looking really hard at issues of solidarity between our groups, so it is not

292
00:26:53,270 --> 00:26:57,750
just we're looking at this group now, this group later, this group later, right, where is

293
00:26:57,750 --> 00:27:02,310
the intersectionality, where is that solidarity between these groups is they have existed in

294
00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:02,870
our country.

295
00:27:03,430 --> 00:27:07,910
We are also in the very early stages of kind of collaborating with Kerry Conner at Justin

296
00:27:07,910 --> 00:27:18,390
Garza and her African-American literature course to really beef up the cultural side of our African-Americans lesson and trying to create some cross-curricular stuff there.

297
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:25,910
In terms of supports really things have been very independent for us, and I think that's kind of how we've liked it as we've just kind of experimented.

298
00:27:26,530 --> 00:27:33,190
We've used our knowledge as teachers, our connections to the community, and especially the wide range of opportunities, at least at Garza,

299
00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:38,870
connect with other groups where we may lack that expertise. So that's where we've been at,

300
00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:41,390
I think that's where we're going forward. Thank you.

301
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,100
Thank you. And as we continue with that

302
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:52,300
model and just being able to talk about and talking about some of the feedback that the students have

303
00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:57,160
provided, I did send out two surveys as we know this course is a semester long course,

304
00:27:57,660 --> 00:28:04,280
so had that distributed as much as possible to the students. And so that was kind of just

305
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,440
simply a licorice scale initially with like what do you like this course you know on a scale of one to five

306
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:14,120
but then also going deeper like what did you learn what was the most interesting because those are the

307
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:20,140
anecdotal pieces that really determine like whether or not students are making a connection with this course and so

308
00:28:20,140 --> 00:28:25,100
I just pulled a few quotes. I'm not going to read them all in detail but I think that something's the highlight

309
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:30,340
about the value of this course is that students are recognizing that maybe some of the historical context

310
00:28:30,340 --> 00:28:35,480
are not taught traditionally they haven't been in their past and these are freshmen taking this course.

311
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:44,340
So they're realizing at this young age that some of the information has been not provided for them in those previous courses and understanding that.

312
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:57,140
Also, as Mr. Taber said, you know, having that sense of identity and being able to provide them the context to explore that, but not be bound to that is really what this course is also about,

313
00:28:57,140 --> 00:29:02,120
especially as they engage with others who might not be of that same ethnicity or even

314
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:08,180
of multi-ethnic backgrounds, and then as you also talked about the Fresno Migration really

315
00:29:08,180 --> 00:29:14,500
showing what kind of impact is happening here in the place that they live and then talking about some

316
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:21,940
of those pieces that might not be in the traditional historical textbook. I did attend one of those

317
00:29:21,940 --> 00:29:27,120
webinars with one of the teachers and I was kind of interesting to see about the

318
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:33,960
the history of long break dancing and how that came about and so that's something that we are still continuing to explore.

319
00:29:34,420 --> 00:29:50,640
So as this course continues to develop, we are still continuing with our content specific information as you can see that it does take a great deal of forward thinking and continued growth because we have to continue to evolve with the students that are in the classroom.

320
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:59,520
also being mindful of this culturally relevant practices, making sure that, and I think that we get people don't understand what that means.

321
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,260
I mean that you have to be an expert at every single culture ethnicity, but how do we, you know, acknowledge and interact with one another and what skills are we developing with that.

322
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:20,740
I know that some interest had been talked about like, you know, developing the course and talking about some of those upper division and so we're going to continue to track that information and see where that compare into the master scheduling.

323
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:29,260
And then always listening and improving to the students and finding out, you know, is this relevant and how can we make it better and just what kind of supports.

324
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:32,240
who do we need to bring in to listen to them in that process?

325
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:33,380
Thank you.

326
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,840
I'll be happy to answer any questions.

327
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,940
Thank you, Director English.

328
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,400
Sit in trustees, any questions or comments?

329
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:42,820
Board members?

330
00:30:43,380 --> 00:30:44,080
Trustee Kirk?

331
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,180
Thank you, Board President.

332
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,720
Thank you, Director English.

333
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,060
I'm very pleased to hear that the students are really engaging with this work.

334
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Thank you very much for this update.

335
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:58,400
I'm glad that this is something that we're continuing to evolve.

336
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,980
to make sure something that our students can engage with.

337
00:31:01,340 --> 00:31:07,860
So I would just say for Mr. Taper, perhaps for, as you are reaching out for more information

338
00:31:07,860 --> 00:31:12,360
and more local resources, to reach out to your local community colleges.

339
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,900
There's a lot of content expertise there and a willingness to bring this to our students.

340
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:24,240
And so I'm pretty sure anybody in that department would be happy to come and work with

341
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,240
who are not only a professional learning group,

342
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:28,060
but maybe come and even talk to the kids

343
00:31:28,060 --> 00:31:31,460
during that semester, so I highly encourage that type of outreach.

344
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,260
And Fresno's D2, Fresno's D2.

345
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,420
We do have, we are planning some planning sessions

346
00:31:37,420 --> 00:31:40,540
so that they can meet with as a local group

347
00:31:40,540 --> 00:31:41,640
with those teachers as well.

348
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,540
So that is on the calendar.

349
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,300
So I will reach out to the department chairs

350
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:47,860
and see if they can reach out to our local community college.

351
00:31:47,940 --> 00:31:48,320
Fantastic.

352
00:31:48,620 --> 00:31:49,580
Thank you for the presentation.

353
00:31:49,860 --> 00:31:50,540
Thank you for coming.

354
00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:53,440
And if the department chairs don't answer,

355
00:31:53,440 --> 00:32:01,380
maybe, I don't know, email trustee Kirk and see what connections and what she can do to support

356
00:32:01,380 --> 00:32:02,540
I might know a couple of people.

357
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,340
Yeah, maybe.

358
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:04,060
Hold on.

359
00:32:04,140 --> 00:32:04,240
Sorry.

360
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,460
We had a couple more questions or comments from the board.

361
00:32:07,860 --> 00:32:08,600
Trustee Crafond.

362
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:09,860
Thank you.

363
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,040
I just want to thank Director English and Mr. Tabor for coming by to give the presentation.

364
00:32:14,380 --> 00:32:15,380
It's always great.

365
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,980
Hearing from you both and also learning how this course is evolving and how it's improving

366
00:32:19,980 --> 00:32:22,500
and becoming more relevant for our students lives.

367
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:27,820
I love that we're talking about redlining and you know how these, how it's affected the

368
00:32:27,820 --> 00:32:32,120
history of Fresno, you know, that's, is going to be at those lessons, we'll then stay

369
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,280
with the students for their entire lives.

370
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:39,000
I was just curious because you mentioned this course, the curriculum covers the four major

371
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:47,360
groups, is that correct African American, Asian, how Latin has, Latino, and then

372
00:32:49,180 --> 00:32:50,780
Are they Americans are indigenous?

373
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:59,080
I just have to ask them because I think one of the previous times you came by you brought in, like, I think, of course, was originally brought.

374
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:06,840
You brought like the course synopsis and you and there was a lesson plan included for the if ethnic group in central the Arab.

375
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,580
No, that's part of the Asian public ethnic group.

376
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:12,900
Just wanted to clarify.

377
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:13,920
No, that is.

378
00:33:14,020 --> 00:33:14,420
Thank you.

379
00:33:14,420 --> 00:33:18,800
And they do talk about that in that, of course, of study.

380
00:33:19,540 --> 00:33:20,820
Just wanted to make sure we're included.

381
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:21,560
Appreciate it.

382
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,460
You are.

383
00:33:24,860 --> 00:33:26,420
Any other comments from the board?

384
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,460
Or questions?

385
00:33:29,730 --> 00:33:30,030
Thank you.

386
00:33:30,130 --> 00:33:31,590
That concludes the presentation.

387
00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:35,270
We move on to superintendent board communications.

388
00:33:35,610 --> 00:33:38,250
We will first hear from our superintendent, Dr. Marshall.

389
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:41,460
We got it.

390
00:33:46,110 --> 00:33:46,530
OK.

391
00:33:47,510 --> 00:33:51,130
Kind of give a recap on the first month of school.

392
00:33:52,290 --> 00:33:57,810
uh... basically uh... you know it's gone well to this point uh...

393
00:33:57,810 --> 00:34:01,550
lots of uh... smooth start as far as our uh... implementation of the uh...

394
00:34:01,550 --> 00:34:03,790
cell phone policy i mean it went very well

395
00:34:03,790 --> 00:34:07,690
and we're dealing with some residual issues and we'll get through that

396
00:34:07,690 --> 00:34:10,730
uh... if you look at uh... this month

397
00:34:10,730 --> 00:34:15,070
you can see that i participated in the run at uh... just in garser uh... this past

398
00:34:15,070 --> 00:34:15,790
saturday

399
00:34:15,790 --> 00:34:17,470
that was uh...

400
00:34:17,470 --> 00:34:18,250
fun

401
00:34:18,250 --> 00:34:22,270
uh... i can also i spoke at the uh... city of Fresno planning commission meeting

402
00:34:22,970 --> 00:34:30,050
And then I learned that some of our sites received the awards from the allegiance by health

403
00:34:30,050 --> 00:34:30,530
degeneration.

404
00:34:30,810 --> 00:34:35,730
No schools included by Ola, Horton County, and Glacier Point.

405
00:34:37,780 --> 00:34:41,020
Looking ahead, we're looking forward to talks for our labor partners that they're going

406
00:34:41,020 --> 00:34:42,920
to resume from last year.

407
00:34:43,740 --> 00:34:51,520
The board, subcommittee of bylaws, policy and engagement, that group meets on 15 or 15.

408
00:34:52,460 --> 00:34:55,320
and then my advisory group is forth for students.

409
00:34:55,940 --> 00:34:58,680
That starts, we'll get that sketch in the very near future.

410
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:03,900
And then lastly, I'm establishing a group as far as to staff

411
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,260
for an input group, the surface in the advisory group

412
00:35:08,260 --> 00:35:08,840
to the superintendent.

413
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,100
And some of the topics we're going to talk about,

414
00:35:11,180 --> 00:35:11,840
let's go to topics.

415
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,580
Basically, the five topics that I've been talking about

416
00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:18,880
since last year, looking at the fiscal crisis

417
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,180
and the budget situation in California.

418
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,400
Governor's in restructuring,

419
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:25,400
student achievement, academic recovery,

420
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,160
new policies on classroom environment,

421
00:35:28,820 --> 00:35:30,200
and then educated workforce challenges.

422
00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:31,360
So that would be the things

423
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,420
that we talk about throughout the year.

424
00:35:35,660 --> 00:35:37,800
My final point that I have this evening,

425
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,400
is that we lost one of our family members,

426
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:48,320
and Donna Schaffer, and you see that the information posted,

427
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:56,900
Posted, but she really made a contribution to our school district and I wanted to close with a moment of silence in her honor.

428
00:36:09,710 --> 00:36:10,390
Thank you.

429
00:36:10,430 --> 00:36:11,310
That goes my report.

430
00:36:13,330 --> 00:36:18,350
Thank you, Superintendent Marshall. We move on to student achievement engagement and wellness

431
00:36:18,350 --> 00:36:22,050
subcommittee. Who is the chair of the subcommittee? Vice President Salars?

432
00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:30,830
Thank you. The student achievement engagement and wellness board committee, a subcommittee met on the 21st of August.

433
00:36:30,830 --> 00:36:33,850
So we received several encouraging updates on student progress

434
00:36:33,850 --> 00:36:35,410
along CETRIANified.

435
00:36:36,090 --> 00:36:39,810
The district reported a 94.1 graduation rate,

436
00:36:40,350 --> 00:36:42,130
continuing an upward trend in recent years,

437
00:36:42,270 --> 00:36:45,670
and placing central 6.3 percentage points

438
00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:49,150
above the statewide average of 87.8 percent.

439
00:36:50,670 --> 00:36:53,470
One of the biggest highlights was the significant improvement

440
00:36:53,470 --> 00:36:55,050
among students with disabilities,

441
00:36:55,230 --> 00:37:00,570
whose graduation rate increased from 73.6 to 93.1 percent.

442
00:37:00,830 --> 00:37:03,490
It's a pretty amazing, amazing accomplishments.

443
00:37:05,210 --> 00:37:10,190
We've received, reviewed, college and career readiness data showed continued growth in a number

444
00:37:10,190 --> 00:37:14,970
of students completing their A to G requirements, along with increased student participation

445
00:37:14,970 --> 00:37:16,590
in dual enrollment courses.

446
00:37:17,850 --> 00:37:22,830
District also presented a newly developed instructional handbook outlining priorities and

447
00:37:22,830 --> 00:37:28,390
expectations for tier one instruction, professional learning, special education, mathematics,

448
00:37:28,630 --> 00:37:29,050
and literacy.

449
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:44,380
And finally, the district shared information about some upcoming professional development sessions that are scheduled for September 3rd and 21st. Anyone is interested in learning more about those? Sure, the district would love to fill in.

450
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,360
Our next meeting is scheduled for October 9th.

451
00:37:51,830 --> 00:37:54,290
Thank you. Any questions or comments?

452
00:37:55,190 --> 00:37:57,010
for Vice President Salars.

453
00:37:58,250 --> 00:37:58,270
Okay.

454
00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:03,210
We move on to student trustee reports, would you like to provide a report?

455
00:38:09,130 --> 00:38:13,530
Good evening, everyone. My name is Jasmine Brart, and I am serving as a student trustee

456
00:38:13,530 --> 00:38:18,130
this semester. My report focuses on the results of using the Yonder pouch.

457
00:38:18,770 --> 00:38:22,290
Adjusting guards as a first week of school was pretty engaging with a big chaotic.

458
00:38:22,290 --> 00:38:28,790
The first day, Garza Julia's greatest students, as they entered, and students who came early

459
00:38:28,790 --> 00:38:34,970
got donuts, there was a huge line getting in and out of school to open and close the

460
00:38:34,970 --> 00:38:40,470
underpouches. From what I've noticed, these underpouches aren't bad at all. When students

461
00:38:40,470 --> 00:38:46,230
had their phones day would spend less time interacting with their friends. During break-in lunch,

462
00:38:46,450 --> 00:38:50,770
all you would see is a group of friends all standing around on their phones. When students

463
00:38:50,770 --> 00:38:55,830
getting to class the first thing they would do is go on their phones. Me being one of them.

464
00:38:56,110 --> 00:38:59,810
Something my Spanish teacher said to the entire class on the first day of school is how

465
00:38:59,810 --> 00:39:04,410
everyone was talking to each other instead of just walking in and sitting on their phones.

466
00:39:05,070 --> 00:39:09,550
However, there's been ways students bypassing on their pouches such as using magnets,

467
00:39:09,850 --> 00:39:16,390
the pencil method, especially burners. No matter how much it feels, off to not have a phone,

468
00:39:16,390 --> 00:39:18,170
I have to admit it's for the best.

469
00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:22,810
Some students have mentioned that getting sports, updates, and emails have been hard.

470
00:39:23,310 --> 00:39:27,730
When stuff is announced on the intercombs, it's hard to hear it because of all the noise,

471
00:39:28,490 --> 00:39:30,570
especially at Garza in the campus mall.

472
00:39:31,250 --> 00:39:36,550
We do have Chromebooks, but it isn't a very convenient method to check emails, and

473
00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:40,170
preparing announcements or even the time when we are at lunch or break.

474
00:39:40,170 --> 00:39:46,850
Something else I would like to add is how Garza's been dealing with Michie first that.

475
00:39:47,070 --> 00:39:54,330
Michie for me a really big impact at Garza and during lunch and break they've set up tables

476
00:39:54,330 --> 00:39:59,010
to write notes to her family and those are really nice.

477
00:39:59,790 --> 00:40:02,930
Thank you for that wonderful report.

478
00:40:04,570 --> 00:40:07,510
Any board members wishing to provide a report at this time?

479
00:40:07,510 --> 00:40:09,590
Kristi Sedu and interesting hermencing?

480
00:40:12,190 --> 00:40:15,370
I just also wanted to share a few words on Mrs. Sheford.

481
00:40:16,230 --> 00:40:20,730
She was my zoology teacher at Central West.

482
00:40:21,570 --> 00:40:27,390
She was also the teacher that helped us found interaction club.

483
00:40:28,970 --> 00:40:35,630
I also, so my friend group used to hang out in front of her classroom.

484
00:40:36,530 --> 00:40:41,830
In front of, right by the office building, I think it was room 25, if I'm not mistaken,

485
00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:49,890
20 in the 20s, I don't remember the exact number, but she really took us all in.

486
00:40:51,210 --> 00:40:55,270
If it rained, we would be under a tree, but she would let us inside of her classroom during lunch,

487
00:40:55,710 --> 00:41:02,330
break. We would hang out with her. I've actually personally even babysat her dog a few times.

488
00:41:02,330 --> 00:41:11,650
Um, yeah, so, uh, this was a really big shock to me, and, um, it doesn't feel real.

489
00:41:12,790 --> 00:41:16,150
This kind of feels like if I were to go back to Central West, I'd probably still see her there,

490
00:41:16,270 --> 00:41:19,430
even though I know she moved to Garza, but she was just one of those teachers at West,

491
00:41:20,130 --> 00:41:25,090
that you just kind of always, the reason that school was special is because of teachers like her,

492
00:41:25,890 --> 00:41:31,130
and, um, I don't, I mean, I can't piece my words together, but, yeah, um,

493
00:41:31,130 --> 00:41:32,750
We're going to miss Ms. Schufer.

494
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:46,840
Thank you.

495
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:47,600
Trustee Sidhu.

496
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:56,580
Just same as, honestly, I think in this room, there's probably four, four plus folks

497
00:41:56,580 --> 00:41:59,880
who had Ms. Schufer for one of their science classes.

498
00:42:01,620 --> 00:42:11,640
And I mean, I think last week when we heard the news, this is a really big loss to central.

499
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:22,240
what Michifer to me was a fierce advocate for student achievement and she

500
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:32,240
exemplified that in her ability to make students feel welcome and wanted in her classroom.

501
00:42:33,140 --> 00:42:37,900
And so I mean whether it was showcasing her snake or you know or like letting folks

502
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:39,840
in her classroom, just hang out.

503
00:42:40,900 --> 00:42:42,960
Yeah, I think that for a period of time,

504
00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:46,360
where Central West was known as a,

505
00:42:46,380 --> 00:42:48,420
is just a kind of, you know,

506
00:42:48,580 --> 00:42:50,140
oh, I'm just going there for my freshman year

507
00:42:50,140 --> 00:42:51,560
and I'm transferring out.

508
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:53,080
Michigan was one of the reasons

509
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:54,900
why a lot of students stayed to take

510
00:42:54,900 --> 00:42:57,360
for their sophomore junior and senior year there.

511
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:04,340
So, to me, yeah, I'm shocked and I'm glad

512
00:43:04,340 --> 00:43:06,740
that so many people had the positive experience

513
00:43:06,740 --> 00:43:08,520
of coming across here.

514
00:43:11,370 --> 00:43:12,250
Trustee Carfun?

515
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:17,700
I definitely have to continue the trend.

516
00:43:18,420 --> 00:43:22,280
I also want to speak to the tremendous loss we felt this week with the passing of

517
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:22,940
Mr. Feeper.

518
00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:27,000
I had her all four years of Central High.

519
00:43:27,420 --> 00:43:32,360
The first thing you noticed in her classroom is her just perfect handwriting as if it was

520
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,080
typed out on a computer.

521
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,980
The last thing you noticed leaving was I learned something new today.

522
00:43:37,980 --> 00:43:44,020
We like to talk about rigor here at the district office, but she for didn't just bring rigor into her classroom.

523
00:43:44,300 --> 00:43:51,760
She inspired students to rise to the challenge. She brought upper division science electives to central and they had weight lists.

524
00:43:52,900 --> 00:43:59,780
She also served as a advisor for the Interact Club, helping students complete tens of thousands of community service hours.

525
00:43:59,780 --> 00:44:05,720
The Zoology Club, which took a few days across the California Wilderness, and the GSA Club,

526
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,100
providing a safe space for students, whether they were out or in the closet, years before

527
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:14,160
this country would even acknowledge the full civil rights of LGBTQ Americans.

528
00:44:14,780 --> 00:44:19,360
He didn't just teach science, she made science fun, and it's as if Central had our own

529
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,180
Bill Nye, right on here on campus.

530
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,760
She was never the teacher, his health students and science wasn't for them, and she didn't

531
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:34,860
get out handouts but she did believe in second chances and I was recipient of many of those

532
00:44:34,860 --> 00:44:37,340
second chances because I was not the best student.

533
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,880
If it was not for her mentorship I would

534
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:47,120
not have been accepted into a UC. I wouldn't have adopted my first cat which she had rescued

535
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:54,420
off the central high barn and I would not be a trustee here today. So I know I'm just one of

536
00:44:54,420 --> 00:44:59,240
countless students whose life she changed for the better and my thoughts and prayers are with the

537
00:44:59,240 --> 00:44:59,880
Sheeper family.

538
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,580
As thousands of community members, former students, friends, and central colleagues mourn with you.

539
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:15,020
Yeah, just give me one second. Any other reports?

540
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:18,460
Hearing them? Go ahead.

541
00:45:19,620 --> 00:45:30,480
I'd like to share one of my personal experiences with Ms. Schifra as well. I had Ms. Schifra last year, freshman year, as an accelerated biology student.

542
00:45:31,780 --> 00:45:35,840
She taught me everything that I had to know about Bile.

543
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:44,440
I came into her class not knowing what I would end up learning and I found that she helped

544
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:51,040
me develop my passion for biology and she helped me expand it.

545
00:45:51,700 --> 00:46:00,360
During our winter finals, I was stressed out because I wanted to have an A as my

546
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:08,220
great ending this semester and I told Michie for that I really really wanted and I was like

547
00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:15,840
I need help she pushed me she like she helped me understand what hard work looks like and when I finally

548
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:25,940
did I got that A she was really really proud of me and also as she was the interact advisor I would always

549
00:46:25,940 --> 00:46:34,440
her when we had meetings and my very first interact event was taking care of the plants and the

550
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:40,820
plants outside of Garza. She always took care of them. I mean, if it was her responsibility or not,

551
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:46,740
she really loved them and whenever we walk by those plants, I always think of Michie for because

552
00:46:47,620 --> 00:46:52,600
she really loved them and she took care of them. And walking into her classroom, you can also see a bunch

553
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,200
and those all remind you.

554
00:46:56,780 --> 00:47:00,080
Thank you, Trustee, and Trustee's for sharing your experiences.

555
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,360
Hearing no further reports from the board, we move on to comments from the public.

556
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:13,220
We've allocated a maximum of 20 minutes to hear public comment on any items not currently on the agenda.

557
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:20,780
Community members will receive up to three minutes to speak and address the board, depending on how many speakers we have.

558
00:47:22,190 --> 00:47:25,570
Clerk, how many speakers do we have for public comment?

559
00:47:25,930 --> 00:47:28,430
We have two cards of person.

560
00:47:29,230 --> 00:47:32,730
Do we have any other speakers wishing to address the board in person

561
00:47:32,730 --> 00:47:34,110
that have not submitted a card?

562
00:47:34,570 --> 00:47:35,470
Okay, so we have four speakers.

563
00:47:36,010 --> 00:47:37,530
Do we have any phone caller?

564
00:47:38,690 --> 00:47:41,210
So you will have three minutes to address the board.

565
00:47:41,530 --> 00:47:43,470
Clerk, if you can please call the first speaker.

566
00:47:43,930 --> 00:47:45,790
All right, first comment comes from Laura Bolton.

567
00:47:58,610 --> 00:47:59,210
Good evening.

568
00:47:59,390 --> 00:48:02,330
The first thing I'd like to say is that

569
00:48:02,330 --> 00:48:11,870
This is the first time that this change in board policy has caught me off guard not having the meeting start at 7 p.m.

570
00:48:12,350 --> 00:48:18,550
puts the community in limbo of having to sit around between 530 and potentially who knows when.

571
00:48:20,230 --> 00:48:24,750
Without being able to potentially use the restroom, go get food, get water.

572
00:48:25,010 --> 00:48:26,970
We don't have access to those things, right?

573
00:48:27,490 --> 00:48:31,890
So we're not going to feed the public while we wait while they're having to wait around.

574
00:48:32,190 --> 00:48:33,170
So that's not cool.

575
00:48:33,550 --> 00:48:40,330
And so I would petition that the board reconsider this so that we can have a consistent start to the open portion of the meeting.

576
00:48:40,890 --> 00:48:41,950
The public deserves that.

577
00:48:42,050 --> 00:48:42,970
And I kind of think it.

578
00:48:43,870 --> 00:48:45,130
Um, this is a massive some sort of violation.

579
00:48:46,070 --> 00:48:48,870
So, um, that being said, I didn't get my minutes.

580
00:48:49,250 --> 00:48:53,190
And so I'm going to do my best to condense as quickly as I can.

581
00:48:53,190 --> 00:48:57,390
I was going to give you a massive thank you, Dr. Marshall, it's a real quick one now.

582
00:48:58,490 --> 00:49:04,590
And Prop 3, I've got teams of people starting to head out to campuses this week.

583
00:49:05,170 --> 00:49:09,730
We could lose 67 million if it doesn't pass, that's specific to centrally unified.

584
00:49:10,690 --> 00:49:16,530
And we've requested that we'd like to partner with the district on the resolution for

585
00:49:16,530 --> 00:49:18,290
passing Prop 3.

586
00:49:18,290 --> 00:49:30,730
Concerning's expressed about the PD being at North Point Church have still yet to be fully addressed and some members are reporting that they are receiving unsolicited emails including me.

587
00:49:31,370 --> 00:49:46,830
Reses, break time has been restored to 15 minutes. However, concerns continue to come up about prep minutes potentially being encroached upon being used for lunch breaks for TK coverage because we don't have.

588
00:49:46,830 --> 00:49:55,870
our full day T.K. Aids. Some of these people are being asked to be out there up to 135 minutes daily.

589
00:49:56,810 --> 00:50:08,550
These are our EL teachers, reading lab teachers, teachers on special assignment, instructional coaches, counselors, psychologists, highly paid people are doing our duty.

590
00:50:09,410 --> 00:50:24,970
And then speaking of T.K., we had U.L. approve a recommendation by the district last year to cut T.K. eight hours from seven to half to five and a half, specifically and only to save money by not paying them health benefits, which kick in at six hours per day.

591
00:50:25,630 --> 00:50:29,650
They were never paid with COVID funds funding was not cut for T.K. from the state.

592
00:50:30,130 --> 00:50:34,070
This was a cash grab by the district on the backs of T.K. teachers, T.K.A.

593
00:50:34,070 --> 00:50:38,890
families of these aids who lost health insurance this school year and ultimately on the back

594
00:50:38,890 --> 00:50:43,530
backs of TK students our youngest learners three and four years old who are not all

595
00:50:43,530 --> 00:50:49,530
potty trained yet so our teachers are documenting the shortages and I am hearing whispers

596
00:50:49,530 --> 00:50:54,870
that some of them potentially may turn in the district like I mentioned last week last time.

597
00:50:56,070 --> 00:51:03,530
I did bring this up last year in emails I went back and looked and maybe I'll continue next week

598
00:51:03,530 --> 00:51:04,770
may be able to email this to you.

599
00:51:05,110 --> 00:51:06,590
Thank you.

600
00:51:06,650 --> 00:51:07,010
Thank you.

601
00:51:07,650 --> 00:51:10,490
Our next comment comes from Susan Kizada.

602
00:51:15,810 --> 00:51:17,450
I apologize I missed an answer last name.

603
00:51:17,690 --> 00:51:19,390
That's why Kizada, that was good.

604
00:51:19,730 --> 00:51:25,330
So good, I mean, trustees, the President, I'm just saying, yeah, and Dr. Marshall.

605
00:51:26,150 --> 00:51:29,010
So I'm here today to thank Dr. Marshall, okay?

606
00:51:29,510 --> 00:51:31,570
I want to thank you, we read the last board meeting.

607
00:51:31,850 --> 00:51:37,690
You have parents, teachers, some community members advocating for increasing the children's

608
00:51:37,690 --> 00:51:42,910
minute morning races to 15, the increase happened. So I want to thank you for that. I'm

609
00:51:42,910 --> 00:51:46,610
like we mentioned in the last time, although five minutes is not seem like much to an adult,

610
00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:52,070
but to a child and a teacher, those five minutes matter. Rises gets students time to move,

611
00:51:52,090 --> 00:51:57,650
socialize, reset, emotionally, and return to the classroom ready to learn. It also gives teachers

612
00:51:57,650 --> 00:52:03,510
a need a moment to regroup before welcoming students back into the classroom. Restoring the time

613
00:52:03,510 --> 00:52:08,590
supports both students and teacher well-being and helps create a healthier, more productive classroom.

614
00:52:09,290 --> 00:52:13,070
I appreciate that our concerns were heard and that action was taken so quickly.

615
00:52:14,070 --> 00:52:18,470
This decision shows parents that when we respectfully speak up for our children,

616
00:52:19,190 --> 00:52:23,290
district leadership is willing to listen and respond. Thank you, Dr. Marshall, for

617
00:52:23,290 --> 00:52:28,090
prioritizing the well-being of our students and teachers and for giving our children back

618
00:52:28,090 --> 00:52:29,970
your full recess time. Thank you.

619
00:52:33,500 --> 00:52:40,580
Thank you. President Korea, I don't have any other cars at this time, but I think we have another big Canadians.

620
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:48,800
Thank you, Trustee Kyrphon. Good evening, Board Trustees. President Cario and district administration.

621
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:55,780
I just want to take a moment to address the Board directly. The change in this Board policy obviously caught me off guard as well.

622
00:52:55,780 --> 00:53:02,060
I just want to say to the members that are on this board that when you all are here sitting

623
00:53:02,060 --> 00:53:07,660
as public servants, if I don't believe that it's okay for you guys to let the public know

624
00:53:07,660 --> 00:53:12,580
that the meeting starts at seven for public session and just start the meeting, honestly whenever

625
00:53:12,580 --> 00:53:18,660
you guys are done with closed session. So I just want to make that very known that I'm voicing

626
00:53:18,660 --> 00:53:24,540
this opinion onto your board that that you guys should have actually waited till seven for the

627
00:53:24,540 --> 00:53:30,720
public to start the public session, as this allows for those that are genderized on the

628
00:53:30,720 --> 00:53:38,080
agenda itself to actually talk. If, for instance, if the public comments were skipped during

629
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:43,040
this time, then how would the public actually have the ability to address the board at

630
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:51,720
this meeting? So that is honestly all I wanted to say today, instead of the public playing

631
00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:56,440
guessing game please just start public session on the time that you guys have allocated it for it.

632
00:53:56,700 --> 00:54:00,710
Thank you so much. Thank you.

633
00:54:00,710 --> 00:54:07,510
Do any comments from any telephonic colors? Okay. And I do just want to clarify that the

634
00:54:07,510 --> 00:54:14,870
agenda and I'll have to go back to our minutes because if it was agenda to say 7 p.m. that would

635
00:54:14,870 --> 00:54:20,750
be a brown act violation, the agenda provides that close session begins at 530 p.m. and open

636
00:54:20,750 --> 00:54:25,510
session begins immediately following close session. I understand historically we've

637
00:54:25,510 --> 00:54:29,670
started at 7 p.m. but I just want to point that out because the agenda clearly

638
00:54:29,670 --> 00:54:38,330
states that information. Without we move on to our consent agenda. Our consent agenda

639
00:54:38,330 --> 00:54:43,450
includes the adoption of resolution number 2526-06 proclaiming September 13th

640
00:54:43,450 --> 00:54:48,530
through the 19th of this year as National Arts and Education Week. We also have

641
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:56,650
resolution number 2627-07, proclaiming September 13th through the 19th Suicide Prevention Week.

642
00:54:57,750 --> 00:55:00,050
And those are the two resolutions that we have.

643
00:55:00,230 --> 00:55:03,410
What are the wishes of the board of on our consent agenda?

644
00:55:04,990 --> 00:55:11,210
President Creole, before we make a motion on the item I just want to highlight, acknowledging

645
00:55:11,210 --> 00:55:16,630
Suicide Prevention, that this is a mental health crisis affecting so many people in our

646
00:55:16,630 --> 00:55:22,130
community, and we sometimes think of these students, and we should always, that's our first

647
00:55:22,130 --> 00:55:27,090
most, you know, responsibilities, trustees, but they're not the only people in our community

648
00:55:27,090 --> 00:55:29,910
that are going through tough times going through mental health challenges.

649
00:55:30,770 --> 00:55:36,130
I learned somewhat recently that we had a former theater teacher in central who passed away

650
00:55:36,130 --> 00:55:41,970
this year due to suicide, so we have to also check in on each other as adults on our colleagues

651
00:55:41,970 --> 00:55:46,010
in our staff, because you never know when something else could happen.

652
00:55:47,790 --> 00:55:48,690
Thank you, Trustee Carfon.

653
00:55:50,590 --> 00:55:54,710
Returning to the item at hand, what are the wishes of the board on the consent agenda?

654
00:55:54,930 --> 00:55:55,470
Motion approved.

655
00:55:56,810 --> 00:55:57,770
Thank you.

656
00:55:58,330 --> 00:56:00,590
Have a motion by Trustee Carfon is there a second.

657
00:56:00,650 --> 00:56:01,010
Second.

658
00:56:02,050 --> 00:56:03,490
Have a second by Trustee Kirk.

659
00:56:04,230 --> 00:56:07,170
We will now move to approve the consent agenda.

660
00:56:07,310 --> 00:56:10,290
We had a motion by Trustee Carfon and a second by Trustee Kirk.

661
00:56:10,290 --> 00:56:11,770
student trustee, how do you vote?

662
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,680
So we're voting for the consent agenda you would now either say

663
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,960
I oppose or you abstain from the vote.

664
00:56:22,970 --> 00:56:23,690
You're abstaining?

665
00:56:36,340 --> 00:56:38,380
Yeah. Yeah. And then the consent agenda

666
00:56:38,380 --> 00:56:43,200
is items M 1 through 6 on your agenda.

667
00:56:46,010 --> 00:56:50,390
Correct. So she is properly abstaining from this item. Good job.

668
00:56:50,390 --> 00:56:58,210
Thank you. The remainder of the board. All in favor please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any

669
00:56:58,210 --> 00:56:59,910
abstentions? Motion carries.

670
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,820
We move on to our action items or first item as accept

671
00:57:04,820 --> 00:57:09,700
gifts to the district's assistance superintendent, Eckball. Good evening. We have one gift.

672
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:15,040
Central High School received the donation of $20 seven cents from Ohio Pile Prince

673
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:19,920
or the Associated Student Body Accounts. Administration is recommending the board except the gifts

674
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:26,720
do the district. Thank you. Any comments or questions from the board beginning with our student

675
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:34,100
trustee? Any one else? What are the wishes of the board? Motion except gifts. Second.

676
00:57:35,260 --> 00:57:39,620
Thank you. I have a motion to accept gifts by trustee to do in a second by vice president

677
00:57:39,620 --> 00:57:40,060
sellers.

678
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:41,320
Student trustee.

679
00:57:41,420 --> 00:57:42,520
How do you vote?

680
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:45,940
Board members.

681
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:46,460
All in favor.

682
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:47,180
Please say aye.

683
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:48,580
Any opposed?

684
00:57:49,060 --> 00:57:49,180
Nay?

685
00:57:49,620 --> 00:57:50,700
Any abstentions?

686
00:57:51,180 --> 00:57:52,360
Motion carries unanimously?

687
00:57:54,180 --> 00:57:55,600
We move on to approve emergencies.

688
00:57:56,740 --> 00:57:57,640
Do you know?

689
00:57:58,260 --> 00:57:58,640
There we go.

690
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,200
Approved the sale and disposal of surplus, obsolete, district property.

691
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:06,460
This is in Superintendent Ekbal.

692
00:58:06,460 --> 00:58:15,140
You think again, attached is a list of item that will be surplus by the district, which means the items are unacceptable for use by the district.

693
00:58:15,620 --> 00:58:20,340
Administration is recommending the board to approve the sale and disposal of surplus obsolete district property.

694
00:58:22,060 --> 00:58:22,400
Thank you.

695
00:58:22,980 --> 00:58:26,460
Any questions or comments from the board beginning with our student trustee?

696
00:58:29,220 --> 00:58:30,580
Here we know comments or questions.

697
00:58:30,620 --> 00:58:32,320
What are the wishes of the board on this item?

698
00:58:32,740 --> 00:58:33,660
Motion to approve.

699
00:58:33,980 --> 00:58:34,140
Second.

700
00:58:34,140 --> 00:58:39,400
Thank you. I have a motion by Vice President Sellers, and I have a second by Tristie.

701
00:58:39,900 --> 00:58:44,520
So, do student Tristie, how do you vote?

702
00:58:49,340 --> 00:58:51,260
Board members, all in favor, please say aye.

703
00:58:52,260 --> 00:58:54,760
Any opposed? Any abstentions?

704
00:58:55,260 --> 00:58:56,280
Motion carries?

705
00:59:01,230 --> 00:59:04,750
We move on to item number three approved contracts for Renaissance programs.

706
00:59:05,230 --> 00:59:06,210
Director O.

707
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:14,980
Good evening, Members of the Board.

708
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,720
This item is a request for Board approval of the Renaissance Accelerated Reader

709
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:24,920
contract for the 2627 school year for the participating elementary sites.

710
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:29,920
Accelerator, reader, supplements, or core literacy instruction by supporting independent reading

711
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:34,420
practice, checking student comprehension and providing teachers with progress data.

712
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,660
The program's primary goal is to improve reading and vocabulary skills with our eye-ready

713
00:59:39,660 --> 00:59:45,480
and cast ELA as outcome measures through our academic return on investment process.

714
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:51,820
The total cost for this is a little over 25,000 and it will be funded through our site Title 1 funds.

715
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:59,680
Administration is recommending that the board approve this Renaissance Accelerator Reader contract for the 2627 school year.

716
01:00:01,620 --> 01:00:09,000
Two quick questions. How does this impact students and then is this returning contract? So is this a contract we've had before?

717
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:17,940
Yes. This is a returning contract and accelerated reader promotes, promotes students to practice reading on their own.

718
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,260
And so it's supplementary to our curriculum.

719
01:00:22,180 --> 01:00:25,620
Any questions or comments from the Board beginning with their sit-in trustee?

720
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,540
Trustee Khrfon and the Vice President Sellers.

721
01:00:28,540 --> 01:00:34,940
Thank you. Now, we've had the accelerated reading program for probably like at least two decades, right?

722
01:00:35,900 --> 01:00:42,860
I don't know how long we've had the accelerator reader program because it was a program that started before my time here,

723
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,680
but I do know that we've had it for a while.

724
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:48,840
Okay. So I'm, if I remember correctly, I remember being able to participate in this program as a student.

725
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:54,360
And yeah, it encourages students to read, encourages them to understand the comprehension,

726
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:58,740
because when they're taking a test at the end this is all independent reading. It's in their

727
01:00:58,740 --> 01:01:05,420
free time. It's time that they're not scrolling through social media or looking at AI videos

728
01:01:05,420 --> 01:01:10,340
on YouTube as they're actually learning. So I think this program has been pretty beneficial for

729
01:01:10,340 --> 01:01:10,760
our students.

730
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:17,800
Vice President Salars? Director, can you just provide a little more context of what

731
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:25,440
title one funds are? Title one funds are federal, federal grant funds. It's to supplement our

732
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:33,100
supplement our core programs, it's not in replacement of, but it's in addition to, so, for

733
01:01:33,100 --> 01:01:39,120
example, well, Title I funds are given for schools and districts that have a higher low-income

734
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:47,040
percentage of students, and because I think our schools and school district, we have about 75-80

735
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:52,620
percent low-income, we do get extra additional funds from the federal government. And like I said,

736
01:01:52,620 --> 01:01:57,820
sites can use this supplement, supplement their funds that we do give them out of our

737
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,660
general fund, and they can use it for anything related to instruction.

738
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:04,720
Thank you.

739
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:06,600
Trustee Gert.

740
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:07,460
Thank you.

741
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:14,140
Director O, is it, is it the first time it's been offered at all of these school sites or it

742
01:02:14,140 --> 01:02:16,280
has been ongoing at all of these school sites?

743
01:02:16,660 --> 01:02:22,320
It has been ongoing. So every year we do ask sites if they want to continue and I believe

744
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,560
all of these sites are renewing.

745
01:02:25,980 --> 01:02:30,040
Okay, I guess then my question is going to be that later on in the agenda we're looking

746
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:35,680
at our student plans for student achievement, and so specifically as looking through some

747
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:39,900
of the schools as I did tonight, I didn't see like mention of this type of thing, but there

748
01:02:39,900 --> 01:02:46,180
are schools like Howton, Kernie N, specifically Madison, who are having those lower points

749
01:02:46,180 --> 01:02:51,000
of success with their students in their reading, so would that need the place in that student

750
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:56,060
plan that I would see the use of this type of support system?

751
01:02:56,700 --> 01:03:00,540
Or the school site plans, we can talk more about it when, during the information session.

752
01:03:01,060 --> 01:03:07,460
But the school site plans, some sites are a little bit more specific in the contracts they do get.

753
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:16,200
Sometimes they will say reading programs or intervention programs and oftentimes contracts like this would fall under that umbrella.

754
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:26,200
But yes, if they have, if they have a goal that specifies or calls out reading or reading intervention, this would be, this would be part of that.

755
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:31,260
Okay. I think I'll save the rest of them for the information item. Thank you.

756
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,940
Any other questions or comments?

757
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,640
Okay. What are the wishes of the board on this item?

758
01:03:39,690 --> 01:03:39,910
Second.

759
01:03:39,910 --> 01:03:44,790
Thank you. I have a motion by Trustee Kirk. I have a second by Trustee Kerfon.

760
01:03:45,450 --> 01:03:47,270
Student Trustee, how do you vote?

761
01:03:51,780 --> 01:03:56,260
Board members, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstentions?

762
01:03:56,540 --> 01:03:57,240
Motion carries.

763
01:03:59,060 --> 01:04:01,060
Thank you. We move on to item number four.

764
01:04:01,180 --> 01:04:03,600
A proof at a state travel director English.

765
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,240
Good evening. Once again, President Coderio.

766
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,660
Members of the Board and Superintendent Dr. Marshall.

767
01:04:14,660 --> 01:04:20,180
Administration tonight is requesting approval for three staff members to attend the National

768
01:04:20,180 --> 01:04:26,160
News Literacy Conference held in Salt Lake City Utah from October 8th, October 10th.

769
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:31,840
The National News Literacy Fellowship Project aims to build staff capacity to equip students

770
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:37,580
with the skills to critically evaluate information, recognize misinformation, and to make

771
01:04:37,580 --> 01:04:41,860
informed decisions in an increasingly complex digital world.

772
01:04:41,860 --> 01:04:55,540
All of the associated expenses for this will be funded through a fellowship received by this cohort of educators who are attending and a administration as recommending that the Board approves this out of state travel request.

773
01:04:57,220 --> 01:05:01,860
Thank you, Director English. Any questions or comments from the Board beginning with our student trustee?

774
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:04,840
Any other comments or questions?

775
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,180
Hearing then, what are the wishes of the Board on this item?

776
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:10,200
Motion to approve. Second.

777
01:05:10,860 --> 01:05:16,840
Okay, I heard a motion by Vice President Salars in a second by Vice by Trustee Khrfon.

778
01:05:18,180 --> 01:05:20,000
Student Trustee, how do you vote?

779
01:05:23,020 --> 01:05:24,180
You approve? Okay.

780
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:29,200
Board members, I'll in favor, please say aye. Any opposed? Any abstentions?

781
01:05:29,380 --> 01:05:32,440
Motion carries unanimously. Thank you.

782
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,960
And we move on to our final action item for tonight.

783
01:05:35,260 --> 01:05:37,360
Approve authorized signature and mailing permit.

784
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:42,000
assistance superintendent backbone. This authorization allows account specialists to

785
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:47,020
finalize and approve purchase order up to $8 dollars. It allows purchasing

786
01:05:47,020 --> 01:05:53,260
analysts to finalize and approve purchase order up to $499 and it allows

787
01:05:53,260 --> 01:05:58,580
purchasing manager to finalize and approve purchase order up to $25,000. Again,

788
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:03,460
I like to clarify that this is an authorizing purchasing order. It does not

789
01:06:03,460 --> 01:06:09,880
involve payment or paying vendors. The payment process is overseen by a separate team within

790
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:15,160
the fiscal team. Administrations are committing the board approved authorized signature permit.

791
01:06:17,140 --> 01:06:19,460
Thank you. Any questions or comments from the board?

792
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,220
Okay. What are the wishes of the board on the side of them?

793
01:06:25,540 --> 01:06:30,300
Thank you. Have a motion by Trustee Kirk and I have a second by Vice President Sellers.

794
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:38,860
Before I take a vote, this requires each board member to sign, so do not leave tonight until Anita has collected your signature.

795
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:45,420
So on the matter of approval of authorized signature and mailing permits, do you have any vote?

796
01:06:47,180 --> 01:06:49,480
Board members, I'll in favor, please say aye.

797
01:06:50,140 --> 01:06:55,100
Any opposed? Any abstention? Motion carries with Trustee Curefun absent.

798
01:06:59,150 --> 01:07:00,870
We move on to our information items.

799
01:07:00,870 --> 01:07:05,130
Our first item is receiving information regarding modernization scope for the herndon bars to

800
01:07:05,130 --> 01:07:10,230
elementary school modernization project director Rodriguez good evening board president

801
01:07:10,230 --> 01:07:15,090
trustees and superintendent doctor marshal tonight administration's providing an

802
01:07:15,090 --> 01:07:20,090

803
01:07:20,090 --> 01:07:24,650
project which will be presented by temple Anderson and more architects

804
01:07:24,650 --> 01:07:29,970
time for short. This item is for information only and no board.

805
01:07:31,140 --> 01:07:36,260
Requested this evening. At this time, I would like to invite Jared Romeras. He's a principal with a

806
01:07:36,260 --> 01:07:38,460
Tam Architects to walk the board through the presentation.

807
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:43,900
We're going to need more of Minimers.

808
01:07:46,100 --> 01:07:46,840
Just click that.

809
01:07:47,060 --> 01:07:47,840
There we go.

810
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:53,120
So, yeah, I want to give an update on our progress on the hernumbar sto modernization.

811
01:07:55,410 --> 01:07:56,550
On the second slide

812
01:07:56,550 --> 01:08:01,510
here, I just want to go over some scope elements. So, there's three kind of main

813
01:08:01,510 --> 01:08:03,810
folks in this, there's the modernization scope.

814
01:08:05,510 --> 01:08:09,390
On here, we have a number of buildings, building D, building E,

815
01:08:09,490 --> 01:08:12,290
building G, building K, building L, building M,

816
01:08:12,850 --> 01:08:15,650
which we'll fall under the neat, the modernization scope.

817
01:08:15,850 --> 01:08:18,490
And I have plans later, so we can see all those buildings.

818
01:08:20,490 --> 01:08:23,690
I have the, I think, six portables here.

819
01:08:23,850 --> 01:08:25,650
They're under modernization, but they're just being

820
01:08:25,650 --> 01:08:28,330
relocated on the campus and getting exterior painting.

821
01:08:28,330 --> 01:08:31,550
There's no other modernization work that's in there.

822
01:08:32,530 --> 01:08:38,210
In the modernization scope, these classrooms are going to get new tack board, new ceiling

823
01:08:38,210 --> 01:08:43,510
tiles, new carpet and base, new interior, paint, new case work, new audio visuals, new

824
01:08:43,510 --> 01:08:48,370
teaching walls, bringing those up to date with district standards and new lighting.

825
01:08:50,170 --> 01:09:08,610
Then we have remodel scope, we have remodel of the existing admin where we're going to add three classrooms to the existing admin while updating the administrative portion of the administration building.

826
01:09:11,430 --> 01:09:17,570
and remodeling the admin support spaces, and this will include getting new

827
01:09:17,570 --> 01:09:21,910
tech board, new ceiling tiles, new carpet and base, painting, new case work, and new

828
01:09:21,910 --> 01:09:27,290
lighting in that building. We have the remodel of the existing multi-purpose building

829
01:09:27,290 --> 01:09:34,070
that will be converted into a new library and a new student services, student support

830
01:09:34,070 --> 01:09:43,310
services space, and then overall we have exterior painting throughout the campus. Under

831
01:09:43,310 --> 01:09:49,790
new construction, which is the third part of this, the site is getting new power upgrades,

832
01:09:51,150 --> 01:09:57,410
so we need that includes a new main service to the site to bring it up to current standards,

833
01:09:57,410 --> 01:10:05,930
and new battery energy storage systems to store any renewable power that's generated on the site.

834
01:10:07,030 --> 01:10:11,790
The campus fire alarm system will be replaced and upgraded to current standards

835
01:10:13,190 --> 01:10:21,790
and campus wide audio visual upgrades, so the PA system and, like I mentioned before, the teaching walls will be upgraded throughout the site.

836
01:10:22,550 --> 01:10:31,670
There will be a new multi-purpose building, so cafeteria stage and area for the students to eat.

837
01:10:32,230 --> 01:10:45,490
And then we are also, I think when I was here last time, I believe February, we talked about the M&O portion of the site that's being relocated, so that's going to be converted into additional staff parking lot.

838
01:10:46,110 --> 01:10:50,390
I want to talk a little bit about elements that are not included in the scope.

839
01:10:50,390 --> 01:10:55,350
We don't have upgrades to any of the ball fields.

840
01:10:55,970 --> 01:11:01,790
There's no upgrades to playgrounds or site landscaping irrigation.

841
01:11:03,230 --> 01:11:08,430
Window replacements, HVAC upgrades, roofing replacements,

842
01:11:09,830 --> 01:11:12,130
or anything on the existing parking lots.

843
01:11:15,010 --> 01:11:18,050
And then the portables that we're relocating,

844
01:11:18,050 --> 01:11:23,230
we're not doing any interior finish or upgrades to those portables.

845
01:11:25,910 --> 01:11:27,890
So on the next slide here, I just want to walk you through.

846
01:11:28,070 --> 01:11:30,070
So this is the existing campus.

847
01:11:31,910 --> 01:11:34,650
What you kind of see in why is everything we're demoing.

848
01:11:35,270 --> 01:11:38,610
So at the north part of the campus, you'll see a little bit demo.

849
01:11:38,630 --> 01:11:41,050
That's where the portables are going to be relocated.

850
01:11:41,290 --> 01:11:42,370
I'll show you that in the next slide.

851
01:11:42,370 --> 01:11:47,590
A big portion of this is right there, kind of in the middle of the campus that red line.

852
01:11:48,550 --> 01:11:51,770
That's the existing building F, it's a five classroom building.

853
01:11:51,930 --> 01:11:56,470
That will be demolished and made room for the new multi-purpose building.

854
01:11:57,430 --> 01:12:00,090
And then you can kind of see the portables there on the south side.

855
01:12:00,090 --> 01:12:05,190
Those are the ones that are going to be relocated to north and then the maintenance and operations yard.

856
01:12:05,190 --> 01:12:12,610
and parking lot area there on the south of the site that will be where the new staff parking

857
01:12:12,610 --> 01:12:22,190
lot is located. So here is our remodeled site plan. So in yellow we have all the buildings

858
01:12:22,190 --> 01:12:26,930
that are getting modernized and those are the things that I talked about earlier, tack board,

859
01:12:27,410 --> 01:12:34,770
floor, base, painting, casework, lighting, and teaching walls. We have the portables and

860
01:12:34,770 --> 01:12:39,490
just to show that part of that modernization scope, but as I mentioned, those scopes are just

861
01:12:39,490 --> 01:12:46,550
relocating and exterior paint. In blue or the areas that need to be remodeled and the gray with

862
01:12:46,550 --> 01:12:49,110
the green, that is the new multi-purpose building.

863
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,680
So I kind of want to show you, this is the existing

864
01:12:53,680 --> 01:13:00,660
building F, so you can see that there are five classrooms on this site that are going to be taken

865
01:13:00,660 --> 01:13:04,140
out of service because of the demolition for the new NPR.

866
01:13:05,620 --> 01:13:09,340
And part of the remodel scope is, how do we,

867
01:13:09,340 --> 01:13:11,140
how do we gain back those classrooms?

868
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,280
So building A, the administration building,

869
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,380
we are gaining back three classrooms in that space.

870
01:13:20,300 --> 01:13:23,280
And we're doing the remodel to the admin.

871
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,880
And then I have put building C in here.

872
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:35,240
We're adding two classrooms in that building, so we have a total of five classrooms, that's how we're reorganizing the site.

873
01:13:37,850 --> 01:13:41,410
And then we have the existing multi-purpose building cafeteria.

874
01:13:41,830 --> 01:13:45,950
Now that we're building a new multi-purpose cafeteria, what do we do with the existing one?

875
01:13:46,350 --> 01:13:50,750
The admin right now holds the student support services and the library.

876
01:13:51,970 --> 01:13:58,870
We are converting this building into a new library and student support services, which is the counseling center there with offices.

877
01:13:58,870 --> 01:14:09,930
for those folks that will psychologists, social workers, whatever the site needs for that.

878
01:14:12,690 --> 01:14:17,470
And then the next slide is the new multi-purpose building, so you can kind of get an idea

879
01:14:19,010 --> 01:14:25,050
of how the kitchens laid out, how the multi-purpose area and stage is laid out.

880
01:14:25,050 --> 01:14:33,350
And then the next slide is our schematic preliminary design of the exterior of the multi-purpose building.

881
01:14:34,310 --> 01:14:36,750
I think that's it. Any questions?

882
01:14:38,690 --> 01:14:39,430
Thank you.

883
01:14:40,110 --> 01:14:43,830
I am certain there are questions for comments.

884
01:14:45,710 --> 01:14:47,890
Student Trustee, any questions or comments?

885
01:14:48,770 --> 01:14:50,250
Okay. Vice President Salars?

886
01:14:52,610 --> 01:14:53,470
Thank you.

887
01:14:53,470 --> 01:14:59,930
I'd record, you know, when the last time Hernan Barsto was received any kind of modernization.

888
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,520
Or new construction.

889
01:15:03,300 --> 01:15:11,140
I think the last work that was completed there was done by Fresno County Superintendent of Schools.

890
01:15:11,260 --> 01:15:16,900
They had a couple of portables that had some damage there about a few years back.

891
01:15:17,420 --> 01:15:20,080
That's what I can recollect in that project.

892
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:29,400
They modernized or cleaned up a couple of restrooms that were by the admin.

893
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:47,890
I think that work was done two or three years ago, and wasn't it to support the, the thinker, the, what I've, yeah, but they were running a program for, yeah, so I think that was two or three years ago.

894
01:15:47,890 --> 01:15:48,130
Yeah,

895
01:15:50,490 --> 01:15:56,430
with the, was there any obligations to the county with that construction or the

896
01:15:56,430 --> 01:16:01,070
least have to continue providing that space on this campus or leaving along those lines?

897
01:16:02,030 --> 01:16:07,310
Well those are two county owned buildings that they, that they currently, the own, we just

898
01:16:07,310 --> 01:16:16,410
got involved on the, on the restroom portions to help facilitate them to actually open

899
01:16:16,410 --> 01:16:18,890
you know, made them both unisex restrooms.

900
01:16:20,890 --> 01:16:23,950
That was the only involvement that our might department had.

901
01:16:26,890 --> 01:16:31,370
I think it's great that this is one of our older campuses that definitely needs to be modernized

902
01:16:31,370 --> 01:16:35,730
since it's been long overdue, that the community has been waiting for.

903
01:16:36,030 --> 01:16:38,570
One of the complaints I remember hearing was restrooms.

904
01:16:39,030 --> 01:16:40,310
Is that being addressed?

905
01:16:41,250 --> 01:16:57,110
Yeah, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that in building in the existing multi-purpose building where the existing kitchen is, we are making that into two new student restrooms that we're adding fixture accounts for students there.

906
01:16:57,590 --> 01:16:59,130
Is there more restrooms for staff?

907
01:17:00,090 --> 01:17:09,690
I believe we're modernizing the staff restrooms in the admin and then we're adding staff restrooms in the new NPR.

908
01:17:14,610 --> 01:17:16,510
That's all my questions for now.

909
01:17:17,810 --> 01:17:18,430
Trustee Griffin?

910
01:17:19,910 --> 01:17:22,170
I'm not seeing a timeline on the attachments.

911
01:17:23,550 --> 01:17:25,890
You know, when instruction will start?

912
01:17:28,590 --> 01:17:30,010
Particularly the demolitions.

913
01:17:32,710 --> 01:17:36,350
We put forth an aggressive schedule to get this approved by the state.

914
01:17:37,130 --> 01:17:43,670
So I would believe our anticipate timeline for demolition to start would be at the after school kids are out.

915
01:17:43,670 --> 01:17:45,350
at the end of school year, 27.

916
01:17:46,190 --> 01:17:48,330
Okay, so when you say after school kids,

917
01:17:48,430 --> 01:17:51,730
after students are out, do you mean after 3 p.m.

918
01:17:51,770 --> 01:17:52,950
or girls summer?

919
01:17:52,970 --> 01:17:53,530
It's summer.

920
01:17:54,230 --> 01:17:54,810
Okay, thank you.

921
01:17:55,150 --> 01:17:58,030
As beginning of June, I don't can't remember

922
01:17:58,030 --> 01:18:00,470
exactly, June 5th, June 6th, somewhere around there.

923
01:18:00,490 --> 01:18:02,350
After the last day of school, we're hoping

924
01:18:02,850 --> 01:18:05,390
to have a contractor start on the demolition.

925
01:18:05,750 --> 01:18:06,810
Thank you, I just want to make sure

926
01:18:06,810 --> 01:18:09,550
that we are keeping that in mind when planning or scheduling

927
01:18:10,130 --> 01:18:13,350
because I mean, I hope we've learned from Justin Garza

928
01:18:13,350 --> 01:18:18,390
that it is not conducive to student focus when there is

929
01:18:18,390 --> 01:18:23,810
construction happening on site. It can be a safety hazard, as well as, you know,

930
01:18:23,930 --> 01:18:27,950
all the chemicals that can be flying around from demoing very old buildings.

931
01:18:30,030 --> 01:18:35,130
And yeah, just also, I guess, for admin, please make sure that if we, if it's

932
01:18:35,130 --> 01:18:43,330
happening to summer, that we have plans for the summer school, if we're

933
01:18:47,070 --> 01:18:49,810
Any other comments or questions?

934
01:18:50,570 --> 01:18:51,790
Trustee Herman Singh.

935
01:18:56,540 --> 01:19:04,240
So on page on the slide four on the remodel site plan, what is that?

936
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:08,260
Most South Western area.

937
01:19:08,740 --> 01:19:10,980
That like a patch of grass that's going to be there.

938
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:16,500
What is the top bottom left?

939
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:17,800
The white.

940
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,460
I think the white just indicates the existing

941
01:19:21,460 --> 01:19:25,220
I'm ball field that's out there or grass area.

942
01:19:27,060 --> 01:19:28,280
No scope of work out there.

943
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:29,220
OK, no scope of work.

944
01:19:31,740 --> 01:19:34,480
And then for the new parking lot,

945
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,100
that's going to be established on the south side,

946
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:40,560
is that going to be covered by solar?

947
01:19:40,900 --> 01:19:45,440
Is that just kind of just there's no plans for that at this time?

948
01:19:47,060 --> 01:19:49,020
And additionally, is the construction

949
01:19:49,020 --> 01:19:53,320
of that new multi-use building going to be removing any trees?

950
01:19:54,580 --> 01:19:57,660
There are a number of trees. I have them kind of where we're

951
01:19:57,660 --> 01:20:00,480
replacing the portables. I think we're losing four trees where we're putting the

952
01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:05,180
multi-purpose building. We're losing two trees so a total of six trees but we're

953
01:20:05,180 --> 01:20:10,460
adding five back by the portable and adding six down by the NPR. Plus maybe a few more

954
01:20:10,460 --> 01:20:13,840
in the front of the building. Okay. Thank you.

955
01:20:16,820 --> 01:20:27,480
Any other questions or comments? I just have a couple. So I'm glad. Well, not glad because my first question is, do we know how old those portables are?

956
01:20:31,770 --> 01:20:32,290
They're

957
01:20:32,290 --> 01:20:35,810
Yeah, at least 30 or 40 years old. They're they're

958
01:20:35,810 --> 01:20:42,610
So as much as I hate portables, I understand them all. So do we need to do any upgrades to those portables?

959
01:20:42,710 --> 01:20:48,730
I know you mentioned you're relocating. Yes, okay. I thought you meant building at those ones

960
01:20:49,190 --> 01:20:50,770
I don't think those have been there.

961
01:20:50,950 --> 01:20:52,490
Well, we're removing building AF.

962
01:20:52,510 --> 01:20:55,190
Yeah, we're, sorry, that was my confusion there.

963
01:20:55,490 --> 01:20:56,050
Yeah, no, no.

964
01:20:56,050 --> 01:20:57,510
No, the, the four were moving.

965
01:20:57,870 --> 01:20:59,390
I wonder what 2020?

966
01:21:00,310 --> 01:21:04,950
We did those a long time ago, I think about 20 years, so yeah.

967
01:21:05,030 --> 01:21:05,250
Okay.

968
01:21:05,710 --> 01:21:06,630
And what are their conditions?

969
01:21:06,630 --> 01:21:10,170
So I know you mentioned that we're doing just the exterior paint on them.

970
01:21:10,170 --> 01:21:14,530
I don't think we're doing any updates in, in the interior.

971
01:21:15,490 --> 01:21:18,870
No, so when they get moved, most likely, you know,

972
01:21:18,870 --> 01:21:25,910
the wood foundations and all of that stuff will obviously be brand new.

973
01:21:26,110 --> 01:21:29,890
They would have to put those new substrates on.

974
01:21:30,890 --> 01:21:36,330
It's, yeah, this really nothing that we do in some of those portables other than

975
01:21:36,330 --> 01:21:43,590
MOT does go in there and I think periodically changed the carpets in those portables.

976
01:21:43,590 --> 01:21:53,710
But so I guess my bigger question is are they in a condition that they can be relocated and we're still going to get how many more years out of them?

977
01:21:54,730 --> 01:21:57,650
They're in fair condition when they get moved.

978
01:21:58,910 --> 01:22:04,070
We'll evaluate them. I know they a couple of them have new HVACs on to them.

979
01:22:04,090 --> 01:22:09,310
So it's an ongoing thing that our MOT department is pretty much on top of it.

980
01:22:09,730 --> 01:22:15,990
they don't look antiquated, but they are, you know, but they don't look at that. They're a good shape.

981
01:22:16,630 --> 01:22:18,730
Okay, from the interior. Okay.

982
01:22:21,830 --> 01:22:27,190
And then, yeah, to the point of the Atreck, I think we replaced that at least in the last five years,

983
01:22:27,270 --> 01:22:29,970
that was one of the projects, which takes me to the...

984
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:38,960
P.A. system. Was this one of the campuses that we didn't update? I thought we just redid the P.A. systems in all of our campuses.

985
01:22:39,820 --> 01:22:42,420
I don't think this one was supposed to do that.

986
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:48,460
And it was because of this modernization. So P.A. Fire alarm is going to get updated.

987
01:22:49,520 --> 01:23:02,380
And I think my recollection about the needs of this campus in addition to the restroom issues and parking has been that there is a large number of students and we need more classroom.

988
01:23:02,380 --> 01:23:09,980
so I'm glad we are not losing any classrooms, but was there any discussion about expanding and adding

989
01:23:09,980 --> 01:23:18,840
more classrooms because despite the fact that a portion of this board redistrict and went through

990
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:24,680
all that pain, I believe we still have a large number of students going to that campus and I keep

991
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:31,020
looking at vice president sellers because he knows those numbers better than I do. So I'm concerned

992
01:23:31,020 --> 01:23:36,580
about, not hearing anything about expanding or adding any additional classrooms?

993
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:44,420
There's one additional classroom because in that current area, and let me know if I

994
01:23:44,420 --> 01:23:50,040
can speak, but where the multipurpose is going, where they're demoing those row of classrooms,

995
01:23:50,300 --> 01:23:57,300
one of them is a teacher's lounge, so that teacher's lounge will be in the new multipurpose building.

996
01:23:57,300 --> 01:24:06,420
If you look at the highlighted kind of white area up at the north where those portables are going to relocate it, there's room for growth there.

997
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:06,960
Okay.

998
01:24:10,050 --> 01:24:15,030
And then lastly, are the changes to the administrative building?

999
01:24:16,370 --> 01:24:20,670
Does that leave any deficiency there?

1000
01:24:20,910 --> 01:24:25,750
I mean, are there, is there a need for more space for admin?

1001
01:24:25,750 --> 01:24:33,810
I don't believe so I think we looked at that as, yeah, we've worked on this campus for 20

1002
01:24:33,810 --> 01:24:39,790
plus more years with some of the portables in looking at this project specifically and I believe

1003
01:24:39,790 --> 01:24:46,230
the admin is meeting the needs of what they need for their administration purposes.

1004
01:24:46,850 --> 01:24:55,730
But I think adding the library and the support spaces in the old NPR, I think that's where we

1005
01:24:55,730 --> 01:25:01,350
may have been deficient, but we're able to grab some of that space with the new NPR to create

1006
01:25:01,350 --> 01:25:03,170
more offices there. Okay.

1007
01:25:07,270 --> 01:25:13,370
And then my last question, can you just confirm that we actually spoke

1008
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:18,150
with the site administration and hopefully our area administrators as we're developing these plans

1009
01:25:18,150 --> 01:25:23,570
so that they are meeting the needs of the campus? Yes, absolutely. I pulled a principle out of a

1010
01:25:23,570 --> 01:25:29,330
classroom, he was teaching just to kind of get a couple, just to get a couple of approvals

1011
01:25:29,330 --> 01:25:30,510
on some of this stuff.

1012
01:25:30,650 --> 01:25:34,190
But I've been meeting with them on a routine basis.

1013
01:25:34,850 --> 01:25:38,170
Just kind of keeping them updated, they're pretty excited about it, so.

1014
01:25:38,950 --> 01:25:42,390
And so then the construction timeline is next summer.

1015
01:25:43,310 --> 01:25:45,050
What are the next steps on this project?

1016
01:25:45,270 --> 01:25:48,950
What can we expect next and when's the next check-in point with the board?

1017
01:25:50,550 --> 01:25:53,590
But I could speak to that.

1018
01:25:54,590 --> 01:25:56,250
So for us, like I said, aggressive schedule.

1019
01:25:56,470 --> 01:25:58,910
So we're looking for having state approval,

1020
01:25:59,090 --> 01:26:02,430
DSA approval into December 1st, part of January,

1021
01:26:03,350 --> 01:26:08,270
and prepared to go out to bid shortly after that,

1022
01:26:08,270 --> 01:26:12,910
maybe February, and be able to bring a contract to the board

1023
01:26:12,910 --> 01:26:18,690
for approval prior to May, so that we can have contracts

1024
01:26:18,690 --> 01:26:20,410
executed for June,

1025
01:26:22,470 --> 01:26:26,090
so for us, I think that is our schedule.

1026
01:26:29,780 --> 01:26:31,280
Any other specific details

1027
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,920
on the schedule that you were looking for?

1028
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:41,080
No, that answers my question. So I think Trustee Kirk and Trustee Sedu and Dr. Marshall,

1029
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:46,360
I would recommend that the next checkpoint, after the DSA, that there be an information

1030
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:51,980
item to update the board, notifying us that the DSA has been approved and even presenting

1031
01:26:51,980 --> 01:26:57,040
a timeline, acknowledging that it's aggressive, and then the next steps for the bidding

1032
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:03,080
because the DSA approves December January, we go out to bid in February. I think it just

1033
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:07,640
would be helpful for the board to be aware of that. I think one of the things I want to bring

1034
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:14,440
into consideration is, when we demo the M&O building, it has to remove somewhere. So, if

1035
01:27:14,440 --> 01:27:19,220
aggressive with this schedule, we might have a conflict. So one thing other things I want to

1036
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:24,360
bring is the eminobilding and warehouse that needs to be at least start building. So that's

1037
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,520
the other contract I don't bring in the other architect so that we can get a design for them

1038
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:35,860
and no, because if we demo that, there's no house for them. So it says it's going to be a juggling ball

1039
01:27:35,860 --> 01:27:40,740
for me, so, but we're going to work on this, so. I think that was already resolved since it was

1040
01:27:40,740 --> 01:27:42,220
mentioned during this presentation.

1041
01:27:44,380 --> 01:27:48,660
We're well aware, I mean, I actually, I don't remember if trustee Kirk and trustee

1042
01:27:48,660 --> 01:27:53,420
said do definitely not trustee, Herman Singh, we're already on the board, but that's been

1043
01:27:53,420 --> 01:27:56,920
a discussion at least a year and a half or two years ago when we were initially looking

1044
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:03,020
at the facilities plan that the M&O is a problem.

1045
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:06,220
We're removing them, but we don't have anywhere for them to go.

1046
01:28:06,220 --> 01:28:09,220
So, rest of luck to you all.

1047
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,000
And, Ed, Vice President Sellers?

1048
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,820
I just had one more question regarding the drawing here.

1049
01:28:15,860 --> 01:28:21,760
For the office, I know the current existing layout is that parents and anyone entering campus

1050
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:26,200
has to bring in from the bell, so I'm going to come outside and open it up and they're

1051
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,060
not entering directly into the office.

1052
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:32,600
And the drawings here, are we adjusting that that there's now a door that feeds directly

1053
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:34,360
into the office before entering campus?

1054
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:49,220
It's really small, but I believe there is a door facing east there so that, because I think one of the things is also like single point of entry that we want to make sure that we take care of as part of this project.

1055
01:28:50,280 --> 01:29:02,000
So, you know, being able to fence and have a secure access to the admin from the parking lot and then once they check in, being able to go out that door on the north into the campus.

1056
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:08,220
Okay, that's I'm looking at it here and I just wanted to make sure I was reading that correctly that that's going to be a door.

1057
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:10,160
Thank you.

1058
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,040
Thank you very much.

1059
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:20,500
Okay, we move on to item number two.

1060
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:24,920
Receive information regarding approval of 2627 school plans for student achievement.

1061
01:29:25,340 --> 01:29:26,560
Dr. O.

1062
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:28,040
I've director O.

1063
01:29:30,550 --> 01:29:30,710
All right.

1064
01:29:30,930 --> 01:29:32,130
Good evening, members of the board.

1065
01:29:32,750 --> 01:29:40,850
Tonight's item is information only and provides an update on our school plans for student achievement or

1066
01:29:40,850 --> 01:29:45,750
school's primary site level plan for identifying student needs, establishing measurable

1067
01:29:45,750 --> 01:29:51,190
goals and determining the actions and resources that will be used to improve student outcomes.

1068
01:29:51,850 --> 01:29:57,330
Sites review academic attendance, behavior, EL and other relevant data to identify needs

1069
01:29:57,330 --> 01:29:59,190
and performance gaps.

1070
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:13,020
Based on the analysis, schools develop goals, actions, services and expenditures that are aligned to those needs, and school site counselors are also responsible for reviewing and approving the SIPSA at the site level.

1071
01:30:13,660 --> 01:30:24,620
At the district level, our state and federal programs team reviews each plan and support documentation to ensure that expenditures are appropriately connected to the identified student needs.

1072
01:30:24,620 --> 01:30:33,800
So administration is requesting that this item returned to the board for approval at the next board meeting and I'll be happy to take any questions.

1073
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:35,480
Thank you, Director Roe.

1074
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:36,540
Trustee Kirk.

1075
01:30:37,700 --> 01:30:39,020
Thank you very much.

1076
01:30:40,670 --> 01:30:47,870
So as I look at this, I'm guessing my question is, I know we're tracking for expenditures to make sure the money has spent the way it's supposed to be spent.

1077
01:30:48,230 --> 01:30:48,310
Yes.

1078
01:30:48,310 --> 01:30:55,610
one funding. Is there an evaluation method to see as schools set these plans based on their data?

1079
01:30:56,610 --> 01:31:02,330
What is the mechanism to see how these plans work is just the next plan? Or did I miss pages?

1080
01:31:03,830 --> 01:31:08,050
Can you repeat that question? I'm not quite understanding. Are you asking about how we evaluate

1081
01:31:08,050 --> 01:31:14,830
whether a CIPSA is successful? I guess probably, I just at the site level, at the very least,

1082
01:31:14,830 --> 01:31:19,830
I'm reading through some of the plans and somehow they're wanting to do some of the things they're wanting to

1083
01:31:20,410 --> 01:31:27,110
to try to use interventions to address like chronic absenteeism and there's things about what they're going to do about that.

1084
01:31:27,290 --> 01:31:33,150
So is there a site evaluation at any point to see how these plans they came up with worked?

1085
01:31:34,670 --> 01:31:44,510
Not officially. It's not as if we are grading the sites based on what their if their site plans are actually producing measurable outcomes.

1086
01:31:44,510 --> 01:31:49,010
We do have informal conversations, I know that the area admin, for instance,

1087
01:31:49,390 --> 01:31:52,250
they meet with the principal's regularly to go over their data.

1088
01:31:53,010 --> 01:31:58,130
And my team also meets with the sites to review what the data is.

1089
01:31:58,290 --> 01:31:59,930
For example, chronic absenteeism.

1090
01:32:00,310 --> 01:32:02,670
We would review last year's sipsa, and then say,

1091
01:32:02,830 --> 01:32:06,590
where are we right now at the site for their attendance?

1092
01:32:07,210 --> 01:32:10,330
And so we don't have like a formal evaluation system.

1093
01:32:10,670 --> 01:32:13,310
But as we rewrite the sipsa's year over year,

1094
01:32:13,310 --> 01:32:17,410
We do amend our goals and actions to account for changes.

1095
01:32:18,910 --> 01:32:23,930
How does the LCAP and the climate survey come into play?

1096
01:32:24,130 --> 01:32:26,730
Because I thought those were indirectly.

1097
01:32:26,950 --> 01:32:30,030
I don't think we get another plan that then looks at each school.

1098
01:32:30,130 --> 01:32:32,390
But I thought that those were kind of the ways that we measure.

1099
01:32:32,790 --> 01:32:33,570
Yeah, let me explain.

1100
01:32:33,990 --> 01:32:37,070
So the school site councils are responsible for evaluating data.

1101
01:32:37,230 --> 01:32:40,450
And they have to show during their school site council meetings

1102
01:32:40,450 --> 01:32:46,390
that they've kind of followed the progress of the previous sipsa, and then they have to make decisions

1103
01:32:46,390 --> 01:32:49,910
and vote on the actions that they want to address for the next.

1104
01:32:50,130 --> 01:32:53,750
So they have to show that whole data evaluation, and you'll see that, you'll see the metrics

1105
01:32:53,750 --> 01:32:57,970
and the sipsa, which is why all that data is in there, but they can also pull in other like

1106
01:32:57,970 --> 01:33:03,110
local data benchmarks, things like that, dig further as they go, but they're required to do

1107
01:33:03,110 --> 01:33:10,730
least minimal in their minutes, acknowledgement of the data, analyze it, and talk about how the

1108
01:33:10,730 --> 01:33:12,050
actions are affecting that.

1109
01:33:12,790 --> 01:33:16,810
The LCAP is more of a district wide, and it's for different funds.

1110
01:33:17,390 --> 01:33:21,970
So the LCAP is more of those supplemental concentration funds for the local control funding formula

1111
01:33:21,970 --> 01:33:27,750
for those three unduplicated groups, whereas the SIPSA is more of the federal title funds,

1112
01:33:27,890 --> 01:33:32,990
title one being like a wide swath of our population, and so they're allowed to use them

1113
01:33:32,990 --> 01:33:40,390
school wide. This year they incorporated the Prop 28 because those funds were incorporated into

1114
01:33:40,390 --> 01:33:46,130
their plan instead of doing a separate one. Next year, potentially there's another grant that's

1115
01:33:46,130 --> 01:33:50,610
coming in that may end up being incorporated so you'll see actions related to those specific

1116
01:33:50,610 --> 01:33:56,350
funds and their purposes and the actions on those have to be targeted towards whatever groups

1117
01:33:56,350 --> 01:33:59,130
those are. Does that answer both questions?

1118
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:02,640
It clarifies. Okay.

1119
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:07,560
me. So this is really just a report of how the money is going to be spent to address the goals,

1120
01:34:07,700 --> 01:34:14,900
not if the goals, if absenteeism goes down, or if ELA reading, passing the season on,

1121
01:34:14,980 --> 01:34:21,260
those are reported in another report. So these, you'll see, and you should see reflections based

1122
01:34:21,260 --> 01:34:28,180
on the last year's SIPSA and what kind of adjustments the school-site council wanted to make

1123
01:34:28,180 --> 01:34:32,260
and why based on, there's an analysis in there where they have to look through those metrics

1124
01:34:32,260 --> 01:34:38,180
and they have to kind of give some explanation of past and the evolution based on the data

1125
01:34:38,180 --> 01:34:39,340
and what they're trying to accomplish.

1126
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:41,620
Okay.

1127
01:34:42,180 --> 01:34:42,300
All right.

1128
01:34:42,500 --> 01:34:43,420
Thank you.

1129
01:34:44,300 --> 01:34:45,300
Thanks, President Salars.

1130
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:52,420
Building on that, are there opportunities for growth and improvement in how we kind of

1131
01:34:52,420 --> 01:34:59,200
track and evaluate the effectiveness of our, whatever we're targeting, our goals are, whatever

1132
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:02,740
steps we're taking, is there a better way to, to track that?

1133
01:35:02,780 --> 01:35:03,800
As far as Sipses?

1134
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:08,360
So the Sipses are required, literal format, and the school side

1135
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:10,140
councils are required to be the ones that aren't

1136
01:35:10,140 --> 01:35:14,220
controlled of that, and so we do advisement, we do data,

1137
01:35:14,260 --> 01:35:17,280
as you talked about, data chats, to help them digest that.

1138
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:21,060
But the school side council actually has a state-required

1139
01:35:21,060 --> 01:35:23,560
constitution, how many teachers, how many parents,

1140
01:35:23,740 --> 01:35:26,460
how many other, the principal, are all required,

1141
01:35:26,460 --> 01:35:30,600
and they have to make the decision in order to legally spend those funds.

1142
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:34,480
So in my experience having been on schools, I counsels.

1143
01:35:34,480 --> 01:35:41,480
They're not necessarily the most robust and informative groups kind of made up by the handful of parents that

1144
01:35:41,480 --> 01:35:44,260
really wanted to be involved and.

1145
01:35:45,260 --> 01:35:48,940
I've seen both. I've seen very, very active schools, I counsels.

1146
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:53,640
I'm very, very strong advocating schools, I counsels and I've seen some rubber stamps.

1147
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:56,780
So we really tried to encourage, and as a principle,

1148
01:35:57,100 --> 01:35:59,500
trying to move one that was just there

1149
01:35:59,500 --> 01:36:01,460
because they were the only parents I could get on there

1150
01:36:01,460 --> 01:36:04,160
and trying to train them up to ask those questions.

1151
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:05,880
And look at that as part of the process.

1152
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:09,280
So is there, I guess if I understand this correctly,

1153
01:36:09,580 --> 01:36:11,400
ultimately it is up to the school site

1154
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:12,880
and the school site council.

1155
01:36:13,060 --> 01:36:15,240
But is there an opportunity for the district

1156
01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:18,340
to provide oversight and guidance

1157
01:36:18,340 --> 01:36:22,120
to the school site council's collectively that

1158
01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:26,060
And it's more informative than, you know, here's the plan.

1159
01:36:26,540 --> 01:36:28,800
We've got choice between A or B, which one do you want?

1160
01:36:29,780 --> 01:36:30,520
And we're going to go with A.

1161
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:31,680
Yeah, we can't do that.

1162
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:33,800
What we are allowed to do is provide.

1163
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:35,820
We have to provide training at the beginning.

1164
01:36:36,140 --> 01:36:40,400
We have to support and help them with the metrics and those kind of pieces.

1165
01:36:40,900 --> 01:36:46,440
We on top of that go through and help fully with the analysis piece with the school leader.

1166
01:36:47,480 --> 01:36:53,420
And on several occasions have attended in the past school site councils to advise to continue to

1167
01:36:53,420 --> 01:36:54,580
answer their questions.

1168
01:36:55,120 --> 01:37:00,500
Ultimately, the district's role is to review and make sure that the compliance is there,

1169
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:05,400
and that they've analyzed and done appropriate analysis and that this is what they're doing.

1170
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:10,660
On the flip side, though, our principals and our teams are accountable for improving those

1171
01:37:10,660 --> 01:37:15,120
student results regardless of whether it's through the sipsa or through the other actions that they're doing.

1172
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:21,100
that are still that accountability for moving student achievement forward, which is what most of those funds are designed to do.

1173
01:37:21,480 --> 01:37:29,980
Okay, I guess some of my concerns are, if my goal is to improve chronic absenteeism, and I'm going to...

1174
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:46,120
All these different steps that really didn't affect this at all, but just by a fluke, absenteeism improved, because whatever reason I've got a new batch of parents and new batch of kids coming in, how are we engaging and saying that the steps we took and invested in were effective?

1175
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:49,200
Or we should continue to invest those funds into that?

1176
01:37:49,700 --> 01:37:59,980
That's a great question. We'd have to dive into something specific, only because, like graduation chronic absenteeism is one of those really complicated metrics to move.

1177
01:37:59,980 --> 01:38:02,120
because there are so many reasons that students

1178
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,300
are absent or later missing class or some point.

1179
01:38:05,740 --> 01:38:08,200
And so without knowing quite which ones you're talking

1180
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:10,840
out because there's different ways to measure different pieces.

1181
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:12,960
Ultimately, just like the LCAP,

1182
01:38:13,060 --> 01:38:15,580
we have a package of things and a lot of these plans.

1183
01:38:15,740 --> 01:38:16,820
And so it's hard to distinguish.

1184
01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:19,860
Was it this section or this section that really made the big difference?

1185
01:38:20,460 --> 01:38:22,180
They both were done together.

1186
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:24,280
Chronic Ops and Tism improved.

1187
01:38:26,460 --> 01:38:27,960
That gets a little more tricky,

1188
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:31,900
especially when you're dealing with like a small community representative group like the

1189
01:38:31,900 --> 01:38:38,660
school site council and and much further integrated analysis of data sometimes.

1190
01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:43,980
So on some cases it's easy. On other ones it can be extremely complicated. We'll have to talk

1191
01:38:43,980 --> 01:38:51,800
about it like a specific one. So in general, no there's not a way to evaluate what we're doing.

1192
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:55,660
Other than did chronic absenteeism improve and that was what you were saying you were doing

1193
01:38:55,660 --> 01:39:00,860
target it. There isn't a really easy way to do that. Thank you.

1194
01:39:03,100 --> 01:39:04,400
Any other questions or comments?

1195
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:08,960
Okay. This will return under action at our next board meeting.

1196
01:39:15,650 --> 01:39:16,930
We move on to item number three

1197
01:39:16,930 --> 01:39:21,510
receive information regarding 2526 on audited actual report, assistant superintendent,

1198
01:39:21,730 --> 01:39:26,930
next ball. This is a placeholder and the next board meeting there will be presentation summarizing

1199
01:39:26,930 --> 01:39:33,630
the financial activity for the fiscal year 2526. Thank you. Our next item is receive information

1200
01:39:33,630 --> 01:39:39,090
regarding Resolution number 2627-08 to establish appropriations limit.

1201
01:39:40,130 --> 01:39:41,330
I guess this is in superintendent.

1202
01:39:42,030 --> 01:39:43,270
Again, this is a placeholder.

1203
01:39:43,590 --> 01:39:48,830
Resolution will be presented in the next board meeting along with the unaudated action.

1204
01:39:53,260 --> 01:39:57,800
And then our final information item for today is receive information regarding McKinley Elementary

1205
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:01,480
School kindergarten playground shade purchase, Director Rodriguez.

1206
01:40:01,480 --> 01:40:06,680
Good evening again, Board President and Trustees and as Superintendent Dr. Marshall.

1207
01:40:07,700 --> 01:40:12,820
For your information, tonight is the proposal from Park Planet Company to procure playgrounds

1208
01:40:12,820 --> 01:40:17,600
shaded equipment for the McKimley, a modernization elementary school project.

1209
01:40:18,900 --> 01:40:24,420
The playground equipment will be listed on our bid drawings as a owner furnished and

1210
01:40:24,420 --> 01:40:25,720
contractor installed.

1211
01:40:26,940 --> 01:40:32,180
The proposals through a nationally recognized cooperative purchasing contract that's available

1212
01:40:32,180 --> 01:40:38,420
to local districts and public agencies administration has determined that this purchase

1213
01:40:38,420 --> 01:40:42,060
is in the best interest of the district and is recommending that the deciding be placed

1214
01:40:42,060 --> 01:40:46,300
on the September 8th, 2026 board agenda for action.

1215
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:49,440
I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have on this item.

1216
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:51,140
Thank you.

1217
01:40:51,420 --> 01:40:53,200
Any questions or comments from the board?

1218
01:40:54,800 --> 01:41:02,200
So this shade structure is for the playground we replaced last year.

1219
01:41:02,980 --> 01:41:05,380
It's the kindergarten on that.

1220
01:41:05,860 --> 01:41:08,480
Yeah, it doesn't look like it's been replaced recently.

1221
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:10,660
It's not one that we recently replaced.

1222
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:13,340
I vote no, I don't believe so.

1223
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:20,380
Okay.

1224
01:41:24,140 --> 01:41:24,960
Any other questions?

1225
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:30,660
Can you double check and we'll have this item return under consent?

1226
01:41:30,660 --> 01:41:32,000
I definitely will.

1227
01:41:32,180 --> 01:41:33,680
Okay, thank you.

1228
01:41:36,970 --> 01:41:39,770
That concludes our information items for tonight.

1229
01:41:40,210 --> 01:41:44,710
Advanced planning, our schedule should be attached.

1230
01:41:45,670 --> 01:41:49,830
You can take a look at our upcoming agendized items

1231
01:41:49,830 --> 01:41:51,030
or anticipated items.

1232
01:41:51,470 --> 01:41:55,110
Any additional information in closing comments from the board?

1233
01:41:55,730 --> 01:41:56,710
Vice President Sellers?

1234
01:41:57,430 --> 01:41:58,050
Thank you.

1235
01:41:58,250 --> 01:42:00,250
One of the things I've heard here in the last week

1236
01:42:00,250 --> 01:42:03,130
with the feedback to students and the yonder pouches

1237
01:42:03,130 --> 01:42:05,410
is that most of them don't wear watches,

1238
01:42:05,670 --> 01:42:10,430
and they were using their bones as a timekeeper.

1239
01:42:11,290 --> 01:42:13,550
Is there any way that we can kind of get update

1240
01:42:14,970 --> 01:42:18,170
on the clocks that are available at the facility,

1241
01:42:18,610 --> 01:42:21,290
so students know how much time they have left,

1242
01:42:21,450 --> 01:42:24,030
and or what options are with the bell schedules?

1243
01:42:24,150 --> 01:42:28,390
I know that last year, I was told one of the sites had.

1244
01:42:28,470 --> 01:42:30,950
Music that would play in the last 90 seconds

1245
01:42:30,950 --> 01:42:32,310
before the bell would ring.

1246
01:42:32,310 --> 01:42:37,870
that that's not an option any more or no longer there, just make sure that kids are actually

1247
01:42:37,870 --> 01:42:39,110
in class one time.

1248
01:42:41,530 --> 01:42:48,330
So on that same vein, if students are identifying these gaps, who should

1249
01:42:48,330 --> 01:42:52,470
they be sharing them with? I mean, I love that they're sharing them with you, but I would like

1250
01:42:52,470 --> 01:42:57,490
to expedite getting that information to administration and hopefully are principle so that we

1251
01:42:57,490 --> 01:43:02,490
can probably respond more quickly rather than waiting to hear from us.

1252
01:43:03,890 --> 01:43:06,130
I will be meeting with leaders via Zoom.

1253
01:43:06,250 --> 01:43:10,610
However, I have promised our students when I went to their student body meetings last year

1254
01:43:10,610 --> 01:43:15,970
that I would come back at the end of the first month to also see them and get feedback from them.

1255
01:43:15,990 --> 01:43:17,290
I'll be making those rounds.

1256
01:43:17,730 --> 01:43:22,950
So we can, can we make sure that we develop a system for them to be able to provide more immediate feedback

1257
01:43:22,950 --> 01:43:27,350
Yeah, so that some of these issues can get addressed as quickly as possible.

1258
01:43:27,690 --> 01:43:29,590
Yeah, I would definitely be through their site admin.

1259
01:43:29,650 --> 01:43:31,430
Okay, I will email tomorrow.

1260
01:43:33,190 --> 01:43:34,590
Thank you. Any.

1261
01:43:36,430 --> 01:43:40,430
Okay, the last final comment I'll say about our, I know two people were upset.

1262
01:43:40,490 --> 01:43:42,690
And I'm sure others were upset about starting early.

1263
01:43:43,470 --> 01:43:51,270
We changed our start time for close session to 530 and we changed the 7pm commitment and an effort

1264
01:43:51,270 --> 01:43:57,670
to get done quicker while earlier so that our student trustees are not here

1265
01:43:57,670 --> 01:44:02,910
so late because our meetings tend to run as you notice our student

1266
01:44:02,910 --> 01:44:07,730
trustees have left early and they tend to leave around 8.8.30 and so I know

1267
01:44:07,730 --> 01:44:12,230
that it makes people uncomfortable I hate change as well but we're just trying to

1268
01:44:12,230 --> 01:44:17,550
adjust to be as efficient as possible and so again we'll do our best but

1269
01:44:18,350 --> 01:44:25,090
typically we conclude about 637 our close session and to the extent we can share information

1270
01:44:25,090 --> 01:44:30,270
with other folks but I do want to remind you all that our agenda was properly noticed

1271
01:44:30,270 --> 01:44:35,750
and we made that change over six months ago and this is the first time that we actually

1272
01:44:37,030 --> 01:44:43,410
finished as early as we did so. I apologize that you are that some of you are upset about

1273
01:44:43,410 --> 01:44:49,950
that but others are benefiting from it and it's 814. So our next meeting is scheduled

1274
01:44:49,950 --> 01:44:55,330
for Tuesday, September 8th, 2026. We begin at 530 p.m. for closed session and immediately

1275
01:44:55,330 --> 01:44:59,970
following for public session. We don't need to adjourn into closed session.

1276
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,000
And, or reconvene, what are the wishes of the Board on adjournment?

1277
01:45:04,020 --> 01:45:09,640
I have a motion by Vice President Salars. I think I heard Trustee Carfun. All in favour, please say aye.

1278
01:45:10,140 --> 01:45:12,740
Any opposed? Any abstentions? Motion carries. Thank you and good night.
