00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:21,280
All right, good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon, trustees, and those of you in the crowd. Welcome to the regular governing board meeting of the Cornellian Fire School District. It's 4 o'clock on Thursday, May 20th. I'll call this me, no order. And as usual, we'll do the Pledge of Allegiance. I think I want to stamp please.

2
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:40,710
All

3
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:55,560
right, we have a fairly robust agenda tonight with a lot of action items, we also have a number of yellow cards in public comments, so we'll get right to it.

4
00:00:56,332 --> 00:01:03,292
First, these are the approval of the agenda plays that item 2, is anyone have any changes to the agenda for tonight?

5
00:01:04,592 --> 00:01:08,972
And if I could have a motion on the little keypad here, and the motions are made.

6
00:01:10,212 --> 00:01:12,632
I'm a sanatorium in this because I thank you.

7
00:01:14,732 --> 00:01:15,372
Well, vote,

8
00:01:21,182 --> 00:01:22,322
and the motion is approved.

9
00:01:23,082 --> 00:01:23,662
Bye vote.

10
00:01:23,842 --> 00:01:25,242
So we can continue with the agenda.

11
00:01:26,541 --> 00:01:51,961
We have a great honor tonight, too. I recognize some outstanding certificate and employees at our last meeting. We did our classified employees, teachers of the year, and program that we started about three years ago. I believe this at 30. We've done this on the thank all of you for all of the teachers for all their contributions. We have some special teachers here that we're going to recognize tonight, and I'll turn that over to Superintendent Mueller to get that started.

12
00:01:51,961 --> 00:01:57,281
Thank you President Pontus, welcome everyone, and thank you trustees for joining us this evening.

13
00:01:57,601 --> 00:02:06,021
In a year of exceptional, exceptional change and shifts, we have an amazing staff across CUSD.

14
00:02:07,081 --> 00:02:15,081
The classified employees in this week, we celebrate classified school employee association week and appreciation.

15
00:02:15,081 --> 00:02:19,281
and this evening we get to honor after last week celebrating

16
00:02:19,281 --> 00:02:24,221
certificate at staff, appreciation week, some of our teachers and educators

17
00:02:24,221 --> 00:02:30,121
that really have contributed to our district to not just this year,

18
00:02:30,261 --> 00:02:34,061
but this year really demonstrated exceptional professionalism,

19
00:02:34,401 --> 00:02:37,801
support and service alongside their colleagues in providing

20
00:02:37,801 --> 00:02:42,621
supports in a very unique and unprecedented learning environment.

21
00:02:42,621 --> 00:03:08,661
So I'd like to congratulate all of our educators for their efforts this year and their role in supporting our students and this evening what I would like to do is ask the principal and the teacher from his or her site to please come up to the front and introduce and present your teacher of the year and we will go through the five those five that we are honoring this evening.

22
00:03:08,661 --> 00:03:15,081
I'd like to start with a principal change Michael recognizing Dana O'Connor from Coronado

23
00:03:15,081 --> 00:03:15,741
High School.

24
00:03:16,041 --> 00:03:16,781
Dana O'Connor.

25
00:03:23,321 --> 00:03:29,421
Good evening and thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity to celebrate Miss O'Connor

26
00:03:29,421 --> 00:03:32,021
and her contributions to our students and community.

27
00:03:32,781 --> 00:03:38,521
Miss O'Connor is the type of educator that is always anticipating the next set of educational

28
00:03:38,521 --> 00:03:41,441
and emotional needs of all of her students.

29
00:03:41,441 --> 00:03:46,441
and all of those in her co-taught classes, not just those with IEPs.

30
00:03:47,501 --> 00:03:51,241
Students are very comfortable with her. They trust her knowledge.

31
00:03:52,441 --> 00:03:55,841
Ms. O'Connor's consistently ahead of the curve with technology

32
00:03:55,841 --> 00:04:00,041
and uses her skillset to teach students in a variety of ways.

33
00:04:00,841 --> 00:04:04,541
Her students' parents know that Ms. O'Connor will do everything

34
00:04:04,541 --> 00:04:09,141
and her power to support their child. Her inquisitive nature

35
00:04:09,141 --> 00:04:12,741
leads into the environments where she leads students.

36
00:04:13,761 --> 00:04:18,521
She helps students find creative ways to understand concepts and plan for their future.

37
00:04:19,621 --> 00:04:26,021
And as always, at Cornell High School, if you want it, where did the best way have a student tell you about something?

38
00:04:26,841 --> 00:04:34,501
One of Miss O'Connor's students named Star said today that Miss O'Connor's one of her most caring teachers?

39
00:04:35,321 --> 00:04:40,881
She looks up to Mr. Connor as a strong woman, kind of like a mom.

40
00:04:42,521 --> 00:04:48,361
Anytime, star needs advice, Mr. Connor knows what to say.

41
00:04:49,281 --> 00:04:55,581
See, it's students are lucky to have Mr. Connor helping them be prepared for a happy and healthy life.

42
00:04:55,841 --> 00:04:57,401
Congratulations, Mr. Connor.

43
00:05:07,251 --> 00:05:09,551
Careful, those apples are a little loose, Mr. Schmacken.

44
00:05:12,231 --> 00:05:14,551
Okay, this isn't going to blow away.

45
00:05:20,811 --> 00:05:24,971
You can hold it.

46
00:05:35,221 --> 00:05:38,201
And then Miss O'Connor and Mr. Schmickel at the end of the ceremony,

47
00:05:38,461 --> 00:05:41,961
we'd like to ask everyone to come back up and take a photo of our district

48
00:05:42,841 --> 00:05:44,221
teachers of the year.

49
00:05:44,821 --> 00:05:47,641
Next, I would like to ask Principal Doctor Bergener.

50
00:05:48,841 --> 00:05:54,121
and exceptional physical education and student connector, Arthur Salui.

51
00:05:54,501 --> 00:05:55,141
Coach Salui.

52
00:05:56,941 --> 00:06:00,661
And I would like to also ask our Vice Principal, Ms. White.

53
00:06:00,841 --> 00:06:01,821
Come on up, Ms. White.

54
00:06:02,641 --> 00:06:04,281
We can't, we're a team here.

55
00:06:04,381 --> 00:06:04,781
Here we go.

56
00:06:05,181 --> 00:06:09,841
So first I would like to say thank you again for the opportunity to celebrate our,

57
00:06:09,841 --> 00:06:16,441
Our is an exceptional example of a teacher who challenges and supports all of our students

58
00:06:16,441 --> 00:06:18,741
of every age and ability.

59
00:06:19,401 --> 00:06:24,461
He's creative and engaging with students of all levels, and their enthusiasm for his

60
00:06:24,461 --> 00:06:29,861
class is present every single day, and that was even before COVID.

61
00:06:30,501 --> 00:06:37,401
Now with COVID, we see him taking on a new role, which Ms. White will talk a little bit

62
00:06:37,401 --> 00:06:46,981
more about, but his leadership and his integrity and his energy has completely transformed

63
00:06:46,981 --> 00:06:52,801
our PE department to something that is first class.

64
00:06:53,441 --> 00:07:00,201
We see him advocate not only for his students, but he has a large staff of six other employees

65
00:07:00,201 --> 00:07:05,121
that work alongside with him every single day during recess and PE.

66
00:07:05,121 --> 00:07:11,521
He advocates for his team on a number of occasions and is always there to provide support in his systems when needed.

67
00:07:12,121 --> 00:07:22,061
He's one of the most entirely, he works tirelessly and constantly thinking outside of the box to keep our children motivated and active.

68
00:07:22,581 --> 00:07:28,221
He's a team player and is always finding ways to increase communication and transparency.

69
00:07:28,221 --> 00:07:35,181
We, between not only the health office or general education teachers, teachers, admin, but

70
00:07:35,181 --> 00:07:36,941
including students and parents.

71
00:07:37,761 --> 00:07:43,081
I admire your commitment to your profession, and as well as the students, families, and

72
00:07:43,081 --> 00:07:45,141
staff, and Tanya's going to say just a minute.

73
00:07:45,961 --> 00:07:50,921
Well, I believe art is deserving of this recognition for all the reasons mentioned by Dr.

74
00:07:51,061 --> 00:07:51,321
Berger.

75
00:07:51,501 --> 00:07:56,761
It's for all the extra that he does this year that makes such a valuable member of our team.

76
00:07:56,761 --> 00:08:02,161
In addition to thoughtfully planning out fun, engaging lessons, and producing incredible

77
00:08:02,161 --> 00:08:07,221
key videos that I can't even keep up with, he has afforded his colleagues a meds piece

78
00:08:07,221 --> 00:08:10,801
of mind by overseeing the staff child care program.

79
00:08:11,261 --> 00:08:17,181
Mr. Sally provides these kiddos with care and opportunities to play an interact while still

80
00:08:17,181 --> 00:08:19,561
ensuring that they get that academic support.

81
00:08:20,101 --> 00:08:24,701
He has transformed the staff child care into a positive and engaging learning environment for

82
00:08:24,701 --> 00:08:25,521
all students.

83
00:08:25,521 --> 00:08:28,601
He does this with such grace and kindness.

84
00:08:29,421 --> 00:08:33,681
We could not be more grateful for the positive impact he has on the students and their

85
00:08:33,681 --> 00:08:34,101
families.

86
00:08:34,541 --> 00:08:39,561
And on a side note, my son said last night watching his video, I hope I can look like Mr.

87
00:08:39,741 --> 00:08:41,301
Sally when I'm in his age.

88
00:08:52,041 --> 00:08:56,181
That's going to need two hands.

89
00:09:05,851 --> 00:09:07,891
Can congratulations, Mr. Sally.

90
00:09:14,481 --> 00:09:32,361
I'm in a very special recognition and celebration. I'd like to ask our silver strand elementary principle. Miss Jenny Moore, come up and share a few words about honoring and celebrating the life of our silver strand elementary teacher of the year of a levied colleague.

91
00:09:32,361 --> 00:09:38,161
and friend, Mrs. Susan Larson, and joining principal more is Mr. Larson, Miss Moore.

92
00:09:40,791 --> 00:09:46,951
I'm here to recognize our forever voyage and special teacher of the year, Susan Larson,

93
00:09:47,791 --> 00:09:53,431
and my honored guest this evening is Mr. Rajiv Jain, Mrs. Larson's husband.

94
00:09:55,311 --> 00:09:56,171
Susan will be...

95
00:09:56,171 --> 00:09:58,331
Actually, the school would tease me and call me Mr. Larson.

96
00:09:58,331 --> 00:10:02,411
Yeah, that's... I was an important part of your identity.

97
00:10:04,991 --> 00:10:10,271
Mrs. Larson will be remembered as a passionate educator who dedicated her life to education.

98
00:10:11,251 --> 00:10:13,551
She was a master at the teaching of writing.

99
00:10:14,231 --> 00:10:18,291
And students would count on Mrs. Larson's honest opinions and high standards.

100
00:10:19,011 --> 00:10:24,371
She sought supports for students, whatever their need was a very strong and vocal advocate

101
00:10:24,371 --> 00:10:29,631
and offered tangible ideas for families to help their children at home as well.

102
00:10:30,051 --> 00:10:37,091
A firm but encouraging teacher, she always expected the best of her students and took such great pride in watching them thrive.

103
00:10:37,891 --> 00:10:45,431
She reserved lunch times for one-on-one special time with individual students, letting them know how important they were to her and our school.

104
00:10:45,431 --> 00:10:55,511
Susan was a champion and a voice for staff, a voice that I miss very very much, a voice that kept me honest as an administrator.

105
00:10:56,471 --> 00:11:01,891
She was passionate about helping colleagues maximize their benefits and plan wisely for retirement.

106
00:11:03,071 --> 00:11:07,871
She cared deeply about justice and fairness for both students and her colleagues.

107
00:11:08,331 --> 00:11:14,951
She was an advocate for healthy living and community building and organized activities for colleagues outside of school.

108
00:11:14,951 --> 00:11:20,951
like book clubs and other social events, we will be forever grateful for her contributions to

109
00:11:20,951 --> 00:11:27,471
our school and community and have a garden in her memory at school that we are all lovingly

110
00:11:27,471 --> 00:11:36,271
tending to. Thank you for lending her to us for so many years and for being here this evening

111
00:11:36,271 --> 00:11:42,351
so that we can honor her as teacher of the year for Silverstone Elementary School and our forever's

112
00:12:14,241 --> 00:12:14,861
Thank

113
00:12:29,421 --> 00:12:30,981
you, Principal Moore.

114
00:12:31,621 --> 00:12:36,341
At this time, I would like to celebrate an honor, our district office,

115
00:12:36,501 --> 00:12:41,041
Certificated Staff Member of the Year, and because she serves in the capacity

116
00:12:41,041 --> 00:12:45,281
which supports all school sites, all students, and all

117
00:12:45,281 --> 00:12:52,701
Certificated and classified staff members. I have the privilege and honor of introducing Miss Jennifer Landry, teacher of the year.

118
00:13:03,481 --> 00:13:17,321
I had to borrow some language from Principal Malina and Assistant Principal Hopper, who get to observe and witness on a daily basis. The impact Miss Landry has on their staff and on their students. Miss Malina shared.

119
00:13:17,321 --> 00:13:20,261
This exceptional educator doesn't miss a beat.

120
00:13:20,761 --> 00:13:26,181
Her precise laser-focused ability to complete multiple tasks in a timely manner continually

121
00:13:26,181 --> 00:13:31,061
affords teachers the ability to focus on teaching and learning and provide staff with

122
00:13:31,061 --> 00:13:33,761
the tools needed to complete their works successfully.

123
00:13:34,501 --> 00:13:36,821
When Jennifer is needed, Jennifer is there.

124
00:13:37,181 --> 00:13:41,621
Whether it's rescuing a student who can't log in, a parent that needs help navigating

125
00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:47,241
power school or a staff member on the brink of tech and disaster, Jennifer strategizes

126
00:13:47,241 --> 00:13:52,881
and quickly solves the problem. Jennifer is a dedicated and caring educator who's tireless

127
00:13:52,881 --> 00:13:58,461
efforts never go unseen. The Triton staff and I are grateful for her leadership and unwavering

128
00:13:58,461 --> 00:14:04,741
support. Mr. Hopper from Cornell High School shares, Jennifer Landry has been a tremendous

129
00:14:04,741 --> 00:14:11,301
asset to CHS. Every day she helps fellow teachers with technical issues, saving the day for dozens

130
00:14:11,301 --> 00:14:16,421
of teachers and hundreds of students each week so that effective teaching and learning continues

131
00:14:16,421 --> 00:14:17,921
during our hybrid instruction.

132
00:14:18,661 --> 00:14:21,421
She has been the backbone behind successful state testing,

133
00:14:21,781 --> 00:14:23,501
making sure all devices are updated

134
00:14:23,501 --> 00:14:25,121
and ready for student use.

135
00:14:25,821 --> 00:14:27,841
She works collaboratively with administration,

136
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:30,241
partnering with them to solve problems,

137
00:14:30,441 --> 00:14:33,021
get ahead of issues and address individual staff

138
00:14:33,021 --> 00:14:34,201
and student needs.

139
00:14:34,961 --> 00:14:37,181
Jennifer Landry rounds out our team.

140
00:14:37,721 --> 00:14:41,581
She helps all of us at CHS maintain our standards of excellence.

141
00:14:41,581 --> 00:14:54,221
And as a personal note, I can share communication and collaboration with Jennifer Landry has been a gift to the staff across CUSD.

142
00:14:54,261 --> 00:15:03,861
She advocates tirelessly for her peers, for our students, and is available seemingly 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

143
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:19,581
It is not uncommon for me to hear updates and to share ideas with Miss Landry and she always looks at things through a critical lens, but always what is in the best interest of our students and the staff who supported them.

144
00:15:19,861 --> 00:15:25,701
It's an honor to recognize Jennifer Landry as the district office teacher and educator of the Miss Landry.

145
00:15:35,241 --> 00:15:35,881
Thank

146
00:15:58,981 --> 00:16:09,541
you. And, you know, again, understanding that all of our teachers and support staff this year have really, you know,

147
00:16:09,701 --> 00:16:26,421
accepted the challenge and served as champions for our students to recognize, among this group of exceptional educators, the district teacher of the year. I would like to introduce

148
00:16:27,331 --> 00:16:34,951
Floor, and district office, or I'm sorry, CUSD and Coronado Middle School Teacher of the Year, Ms. Kathleen Cotton.

149
00:16:35,291 --> 00:16:35,511
It's gotten.

150
00:16:42,541 --> 00:16:47,021
Well, I'm very, very excited to be here tonight, who is especially with you.

151
00:16:48,221 --> 00:16:58,321
Okay, I am very honored to be here today to recognize Cathy Cotton, an exceptional educator with an unwavering commitment to her students, colleagues, and Coronado families.

152
00:16:58,981 --> 00:17:07,121
Kathy is a mother of two terrific kids, now adults, Gregory and Ashley, who were both graduates of CMS and CHS.

153
00:17:07,701 --> 00:17:17,021
And I know that they both wish that they could be here today to celebrate their mom, who clearly has been their hero and who I know that they're so proud of today.

154
00:17:17,941 --> 00:17:24,061
Kathy began her teaching career in Maryland in 2001 and she came to Coronado in 2006 and

155
00:17:24,061 --> 00:17:28,721
was hired as an instructional aid in the Academy program at CMS.

156
00:17:29,681 --> 00:17:35,101
She later went on to fill a couple of long-term sub-positions at Village Elementary and then

157
00:17:35,101 --> 00:17:38,781
headed to CMS where she subbed in two additional long-term positions.

158
00:17:39,601 --> 00:17:44,961
While subbing at CMS, it quickly became evident that Kathy was somebody that we wanted

159
00:17:44,961 --> 00:17:52,121
keep around. Not only was Kathy a great teacher, she exuded a level of kindness and positivity

160
00:17:52,621 --> 00:17:54,401
that was almost unbelievable.

161
00:17:56,441 --> 00:18:02,081
I wondered how someone could really be that lovely, but she was,

162
00:18:02,401 --> 00:18:10,321
and she is. In 2011, Kathy was hired on to the CMS staff as a humanities teacher and as a

163
00:18:10,321 --> 00:18:12,521
MS team member for the past 10 years,

164
00:18:12,801 --> 00:18:14,801
Kathy has championed hundreds of students.

165
00:18:15,721 --> 00:18:17,021
She has strengthened her department,

166
00:18:17,181 --> 00:18:19,681
and has been given and has been an absolute gift

167
00:18:19,681 --> 00:18:20,781
to the frightened team.

168
00:18:21,781 --> 00:18:23,901
Kathy's dynamic teaching positive attitude

169
00:18:23,901 --> 00:18:26,341
and kind demeanor immediately engages students

170
00:18:26,341 --> 00:18:27,861
as soon as they walk through her door.

171
00:18:28,601 --> 00:18:30,301
Her classroom is a place where students learn

172
00:18:30,301 --> 00:18:32,121
to embrace a group mindset

173
00:18:32,121 --> 00:18:34,741
and take pride in all of their accomplishments.

174
00:18:35,501 --> 00:18:38,281
She creates a caring and respectful classroom culture

175
00:18:38,281 --> 00:18:40,541
where students feel safe and inspired.

176
00:18:41,541 --> 00:18:44,421
This is not an easy thing to achieve with 13-year-olds,

177
00:18:44,661 --> 00:18:46,641
but Kathy seems to do it with ease.

178
00:18:47,221 --> 00:18:49,741
As stated by one of her students, Nicholas Reyes,

179
00:18:50,301 --> 00:18:52,341
Mrs. Cotton is an amazing person

180
00:18:52,341 --> 00:18:54,961
that helps us to grow into better people.

181
00:18:56,001 --> 00:18:57,221
And Bella Shial said,

182
00:18:57,501 --> 00:18:59,081
she's always in a good mood.

183
00:18:59,561 --> 00:19:01,441
And if someone is down,

184
00:19:01,661 --> 00:19:04,061
she always helps them back up.

185
00:19:04,061 --> 00:19:15,781
Happy is so passionate about what and how she teaches. She brings learning to life for her students and challenges them to take risks to think critically and beyond the four walls of the classroom.

186
00:19:16,621 --> 00:19:23,421
She's passionate about making sure that every student recognizes and celebrates their individual strengths, their gifts and their talents.

187
00:19:24,161 --> 00:19:32,861
And her awareness of the diversity is in each individual student, is exhibited through her mindful efforts to incorporate her students' interests into her teaching.

188
00:19:33,721 --> 00:19:43,861
Mary Lund said, Mrs. Cotton gives us assignments that are creative and you can use your imagination and all of your different skills that each of us have.

189
00:19:45,561 --> 00:19:56,021
Mrs. Cotton is so fun. She's energetic, interesting, and she doesn't just say she wants you to succeed. She shows it, said Morgan Nask.

190
00:19:58,101 --> 00:20:01,961
Cathy invests time into really getting to know her students.

191
00:20:02,881 --> 00:20:06,241
She always wants them to know that they are valued and cared for

192
00:20:06,241 --> 00:20:08,901
and that everything that they do really matters.

193
00:20:09,901 --> 00:20:13,141
Not only does Cathy want her students to know how important they are,

194
00:20:13,341 --> 00:20:16,321
but she also does the same with our entire staff.

195
00:20:16,921 --> 00:20:20,561
She always reaches out to help whenever someone needs support.

196
00:20:21,041 --> 00:20:25,761
You can often just find her checking in or stopping by just to smile at you.

197
00:20:25,761 --> 00:20:33,021
And personally, I am so grateful for Kathy for many, many reasons, but as we shifted to Zoom this year,

198
00:20:33,701 --> 00:20:41,901
I always make sure that Kathy is in my gallery view because she's always the one smiling and nodding and supporting me.

199
00:20:43,021 --> 00:20:50,281
Kathy is a remarkable teacher, teammate and friend who tirelessly goes above and beyond in all that she does.

200
00:20:50,281 --> 00:20:58,481
She is revered, respected, and loved by her students, and we are so fortunate that she is part of our Triton staff.

201
00:20:59,361 --> 00:21:02,781
I think seven-freeter Chase Craig may have summed it up the best.

202
00:21:03,621 --> 00:21:10,561
Mrs. Cotton is one of the best teachers out there. She is always energetic and ready to conquer the day.

203
00:21:11,221 --> 00:21:13,541
She really believes in every one of us.

204
00:21:14,461 --> 00:21:16,761
On behalf of the entire Triton family,

205
00:21:16,761 --> 00:21:29,021
We are so happy to recognize you, Kathy Cotton, and celebrate you as the Coronado Middle School and the Coronado Unified School District 2021 Teacher of the Year.

206
00:21:29,161 --> 00:21:29,941
Congratulations!

207
00:21:39,081 --> 00:21:40,661
Congratulations Ms. Cotton.

208
00:21:41,121 --> 00:21:52,901
I would like to ask after Ms. Cotton receives her loose apple and some flowers for all of our teachers of the year.

209
00:21:53,981 --> 00:21:59,561
our site administrators and the governing board to please come forward for a quick photo

210
00:21:59,561 --> 00:22:01,801
congratulating those in attendance.

211
00:22:59,871 --> 00:23:01,271
Oh my god, I don't know.

212
00:23:48,201 --> 00:23:52,931
Thank you very much.

213
00:24:01,781 --> 00:24:09,401
Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you really want it?

214
00:24:28,961 --> 00:24:29,561
Hotz.

215
00:24:29,561 --> 00:24:37,781
All right, as I depart, thank you once again teachers, outstanding hall of our teachers and principles.

216
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:48,480
All right, we'll move along with the agenda though. We have board member comments coming up next. I know Ms. Morris on the edge of receipt over there.

217
00:24:50,440 --> 00:25:00,720
We do have a ten yellow cards to get through tonight. And Ms. McGillacad as about 11 minutes I believe have recorded comments.

218
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,840
The will of the board last the meeting was we hear all of them, so I'm assuming it will pretty much be the same tonight.

219
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,380
So, just put that out before you have your board member comments.

220
00:25:14,260 --> 00:25:18,460
So, we are now approaching item 2.4 which is board member comments and our customers

221
00:25:18,460 --> 00:25:20,580
Ms. Morris if you would take the lead, please.

222
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,100
Hello everyone, today I'm super excited and eager to share some updates from each school site

223
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:34,640
about upcoming activities and events look forward to.

224
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,580
So, over the high school, students have begun AP testing, which will carry on into June.

225
00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:49,880
ASB finished X-Combin class officer elections and I look forward to introducing next year's ASB President Kate Carlson at the next board meeting.

226
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:58,460
ASB has a Zoom student forum on Monday and we welcome all students to attend to give feedback and share their ideas.

227
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,620
On June 6 we will be hosting a movie night at the school where we will announce our prom court.

228
00:26:04,620 --> 00:26:12,180
Powder profile will be on June 11th, this one include breakout activities and a flag football game on the field for juniors and seniors participating.

229
00:26:13,260 --> 00:26:18,120
Finally, graduation will take place on the high school field on June 17th.

230
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:29,760
At the middle school, ASVs excited to plan their talent show. All students are able to submit a talent video to the CMS Trident's Power School page and the show will be put together by ASV hosts.

231
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:33,760
Junior Optimists had their final meeting of the year with many students

232
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,940
excited to enter the CHS Octagon Club and continue to serve their community.

233
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:45,120
Finally CMS's new ASB class for the 2021-2022 school year was selected

234
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:48,040
and they had their first meeting to plan for next year.

235
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,600
They're very excited to plan registration and some new events and activities.

236
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,800
CMS has been buzzing with excited students who are enjoying their longer day on campus.

237
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:06,060
They have brought back almost 100 students who had committed to bridge for semester 2, but requested to return to campus for hybrid instructions.

238
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:14,900
This month CMS has administered the cast statewide assessments in ELA in mathematics to a majority of their students.

239
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:21,420
Eight-gooters have also taken the cast science assessment with may-being mental health awareness

240
00:27:21,420 --> 00:27:22,180
month.

241
00:27:22,660 --> 00:27:26,880
CMS has been focusing on the key of balance and the importance of taking time to check in

242
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,740
on everyone's overall wellness.

243
00:27:29,780 --> 00:27:35,020
This week in T3, students use a wellness wheel to analyze six different dimensions of their

244
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:39,900
wellness, social, emotional, occupational, physical, intellectual and inner.

245
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,500
After analyzing their wheel, students were challenged to take a look at which areas may

246
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:50,180
need some attention in order to find more life balance. CMS also held a lunchtime

247
00:27:50,180 --> 00:27:53,920
Zendan where students were able to participate in yoga and visit various

248
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,620
stations to practice stress reduction, art, foreign gauge, and brain games.

249
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:03,480
Promotion planning is in full swing and CMS is looking forward to celebrating all of the

250
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,620
eighth graders on the meter mile field at 530 p.m. on June 16th.

251
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:13,820
villas elementary, third through fifth graders are currently finishing up cast testing as well.

252
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:19,200
villas just prepping for their end of your activities and look forward to celebrating their fifth graders

253
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,060
who are moving on to sixth grade.

254
00:28:21,860 --> 00:28:29,060
Finally, they're wrapping up their no-place for hay activities and are excited about how much work they've completed within such a small amount of time.

255
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Over at Silver Strand, students and teachers are promoting mental health awareness and ability awareness through their Friday flag pull virtual assemblies

256
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,180
and their new bitmoji inclusion lounge with breathing exercises,

257
00:28:42,660 --> 00:28:46,980

258
00:28:47,740 --> 00:28:50,480
They are excited to celebrate their fifth graders with a promotion ceremony

259
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,980
and other fun and of your activities.

260
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,960
They are in the midst of state testing and are so proud of their students and teachers.

261
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,620
Special thank you to the Village and Strand teachers who tested students remotely

262
00:29:02,620 --> 00:29:06,880
and successfully despite the challenges of supporting students from a distance.

263
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:15,280
Silver Strand extends its gratitude to the families and KTO for their support all year long, but especially this month with staff appreciation.

264
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:23,220
My board report next month will primarily be focused on transition in turn over, and I look forward to sharing more updates then.

265
00:29:23,540 --> 00:29:23,840
Thank you.

266
00:29:26,650 --> 00:29:27,670
Any questions for Miss Morris?

267
00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:30,010
I have a question, Miss Morris.

268
00:29:32,230 --> 00:29:35,070
Could you give me the name of your replacement in real quick?

269
00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:36,710
Oh yes, Kate Carlson.

270
00:29:36,850 --> 00:29:38,030
She's going to do amazing.

271
00:29:38,030 --> 00:29:42,750
I'm super excited to introduce her. I know there's a lot of Carlson general and I didn't hear it's first name. Thank you

272
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:49,330
One more thing. Oh, yes. The pot of prep came to I put my money on the seniors or the juniors. Oh, that's the lead the seniors

273
00:29:50,610 --> 00:29:51,490
It's check

274
00:29:53,290 --> 00:29:58,730
All right, uh, then we're going to start a continued board member comments right now. I'm a miss cause I

275
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,080
Good evening everyone. Thank you for joining us

276
00:30:04,420 --> 00:30:07,800
So last board meeting we had a very contentious

277
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:16,920
challenges, so with regard to the 4x4, I'm glad we're able to kind of come out of that and move forward.

278
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,940
But more importantly, I'm going to yield my time because I have a number of questions for student services report.

279
00:30:23,620 --> 00:30:24,540
So I'll yield my time.

280
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,260
Very well. Thank you. It's good. Thank

281
00:30:29,270 --> 00:30:33,470
you all for being here.

282
00:30:34,190 --> 00:30:38,430
So nice to see faces in the audience still getting used to being actually in the board room.

283
00:30:38,430 --> 00:30:45,870
I have the pleasure this month of visiting Silver Strand Elementary for the first time as a trustee

284
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:52,430
and the joy of seeing the garden we heard described for Ms. Larson and visiting with principal more

285
00:30:52,430 --> 00:30:58,590
and just struck me of what a special place it is and how lucky our students are to get to go there.

286
00:30:58,950 --> 00:31:07,830
The educators are so dedicated and the staff child care that they're providing there.

287
00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:13,710
such an incredible program. I'd like to say I hope to see it continue if we can in the future

288
00:31:13,710 --> 00:31:19,290
because it's providing such a sense of family and connectedness throughout our campus and I really

289
00:31:19,290 --> 00:31:24,450
enjoyed that. So thank y'all for being here and we've got a long meeting so I'm just excited to

290
00:31:24,450 --> 00:31:29,890
get going. Thank you for answering Dr. Aston Curry's good evening. Good evening and welcome everybody

291
00:31:29,890 --> 00:31:34,890
who's in the room. I share Ms. Andrew and Ms. Kazali's appreciation of having our

292
00:31:34,890 --> 00:31:40,850
in the audience. I'm going to be brief tonight and I'm going to add my congratulations to our teachers

293
00:31:40,850 --> 00:31:46,610
who were honored tonight. It's evident by the comments from their admin and their students

294
00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:51,070
that these are very special people and they are very much appreciate it.

295
00:31:52,470 --> 00:32:04,870
I wanted to focus on Miss Kelly Morris tonight because she has been an articulate representative for the

296
00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:10,810
each of the school. She's contributed her unique and insightful student perspective. You'll be missed Kelly.

297
00:32:11,410 --> 00:32:28,670
I know you'll be stellar wherever you go in your future and I was delighted to hear that among your choices for college is the best university in Los Angeles University of Southern California. You just keep that in your sights there, kiddo. Thanks, Kelly.

298
00:32:30,650 --> 00:32:38,310
Great. Good evening, just like my fellow trustees last week, we had another special board meeting

299
00:32:38,310 --> 00:32:44,770
to review board protocols. And we're always learning, we're always growing, we're learning

300
00:32:44,770 --> 00:32:50,710
to address all of the needs from a very diverse and wide community. And I just want to invoke

301
00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:56,270
the words of our own president, president Biden, when he invoked prayer in the national day of prayer.

302
00:32:56,270 --> 00:33:03,810
I think with the loss of recently of a Coronado high school student to suicide, and that it's mental health awareness.

303
00:33:04,830 --> 00:33:14,470
Our students need prayer more than ever, so I just invite everybody here in the community to take a moment and reflect on how we can help each other.

304
00:33:14,810 --> 00:33:21,850
And also on the Coronado Health on the Coronado Unified School District, there's also a link to the San Diego County Office of Education.

305
00:33:21,850 --> 00:33:31,410
They're offering free training for high school students for Suicide Prevention Training now more than ever the CDC is saying that

306
00:33:32,230 --> 00:33:33,650
Suicide is the second

307
00:33:34,190 --> 00:33:42,510
Leading cause of death for youth from the ages of 10 to 24 and that I've shared I've been very candid with my own struggles with depression as a teenager

308
00:33:42,510 --> 00:33:49,750
When I tried to take my life, but I know that it's only a rough patch and we can just encourage each other and give each other hope

309
00:33:49,750 --> 00:33:55,010
We can all move along together, including so, thank you, and thank you for your prayers.

310
00:33:56,610 --> 00:33:57,750
All right, thank you, Trustee Valvez.

311
00:33:59,310 --> 00:34:04,710
I would just like to say once again, thank you to the awardees tonight and just to all the teachers

312
00:34:04,710 --> 00:34:10,110
in the district for the effort they put in over the past year and past years.

313
00:34:11,050 --> 00:34:14,150
And they've just done amazing things with our student and we look forward to that continuing.

314
00:34:15,429 --> 00:34:18,649
With that, I'm going to turn over to Superintendent Mueller for his comments.

315
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:31,519
Thank you, Captain Pantes. Thank you, Ms. Morris, and trustees for sharing. I wanted to again really honor and recognize

316
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:40,479
this week as classified school employee appreciation week, and often known overlooked our CSEA colleagues.

317
00:34:40,479 --> 00:34:45,519
really are, they're the faces of our schools, they serve in our, in our health tech offices,

318
00:34:45,839 --> 00:34:52,239
and they keep our schools clean, and they feed our students, enter data, and they always interact

319
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:59,959
with our students and our staff with a positive disposition and encouraging word. We wouldn't be

320
00:34:59,959 --> 00:35:08,199
the same district with that RCA brothers and sisters, so thank you for your efforts CSA. Congratulations

321
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:15,299
to our teachers of the year, it was a special service honoring those in attendance and

322
00:35:15,299 --> 00:35:21,339
thank you principal more. That was a very special tribute to Miss Susan Marson and as Miss

323
00:35:21,339 --> 00:35:26,259
Moore mentioned we do have a memorial garden now on the campus of Silver Strand Elementary and I

324
00:35:26,259 --> 00:35:32,179
would encourage our trustees to please stop by and visit the next time you are on that special

325
00:35:32,179 --> 00:35:40,359
campus. I would like to really talk about end-of-year celebrations for a moment as we transition

326
00:35:40,359 --> 00:35:46,479
into end-of-year celebrations. We acknowledge that many of our students, especially those

327
00:35:46,479 --> 00:35:51,679
in transition from fifth to sixth, from eighth to ninth, and our graduating seniors, haven't

328
00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:59,819
had the right of passage type experiences that their peers in years prior have had. I know that

329
00:35:59,819 --> 00:36:04,739
administrators are doing an amazing job in partnership with our parent teacher organizations

330
00:36:05,459 --> 00:36:13,779
to try to provide experiences which will be memorable. And I know Kelly and her classmates

331
00:36:13,779 --> 00:36:19,299
and ASB are also trying to do that. But I'd like to take a moment on behalf of the governing

332
00:36:19,299 --> 00:36:25,079
board and our staff to really just acknowledge the fact that our parents, members of our community

333
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:31,819
and in particular our students have had a very trying school year 2021 and we often talk

334
00:36:31,819 --> 00:36:38,019
about the role of the educators and they have really done an amazing job pivoting from one

335
00:36:38,019 --> 00:36:43,319
environment to the next challenging our students connecting with our children and serving as

336
00:36:43,319 --> 00:36:49,299
those champions but I don't think we say enough the gratitude that we have for our parents

337
00:36:49,959 --> 00:36:56,459
and the support that we've felt, the grace that has been, has been given, and the patience

338
00:36:56,459 --> 00:37:02,639
as we keep up with county of public health, ever changing guidelines and shifts and changes.

339
00:37:03,339 --> 00:37:08,899
So thank you parents, I'm watching, thank you parents in attending for being in our corner

340
00:37:08,899 --> 00:37:16,559
and supporting our efforts as we try our best to navigate, again, the changing landscape of COVID

341
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:17,879
and school closures.

342
00:37:18,099 --> 00:37:21,579
We are very hopeful and our laser focuses on a full return

343
00:37:21,579 --> 00:37:23,899
to in-person instruction in the fall.

344
00:37:24,579 --> 00:37:27,639
But I'd like us to really focus our efforts on ensuring

345
00:37:27,639 --> 00:37:31,359
that these last few weeks are special for our current students.

346
00:37:31,859 --> 00:37:34,059
And I know that our parents and our administrators

347
00:37:34,059 --> 00:37:35,619
and staff want the same.

348
00:37:36,359 --> 00:37:37,299
So thank you.

349
00:37:37,879 --> 00:37:42,679
Last but not least, we yesterday in the Superintendent's

350
00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:46,019
newsletter that was information about a presentation

351
00:37:46,019 --> 00:37:49,619
from Veteran DEA agent, Rocky Heron.

352
00:37:50,339 --> 00:37:52,499
I will send a newsletter out to our community,

353
00:37:52,839 --> 00:37:55,739
but we have confirmed that a parent and community forum.

354
00:37:56,299 --> 00:38:00,899
By Mr. Heron will be available a week from tonight on May 27th

355
00:38:00,899 --> 00:38:02,939
in the CHS Theater at 530.

356
00:38:03,419 --> 00:38:06,079
I've had an opportunity to view Mr. Heron's presentation

357
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:07,259
on a number of occasions.

358
00:38:07,879 --> 00:38:09,019
It's very informative.

359
00:38:09,779 --> 00:38:14,299
It's very relevant to what is happening to youth in San Diego County.

360
00:38:15,019 --> 00:38:24,759
He's a very dynamic, but rigorously honest speaker, and those parents who can attend, I would

361
00:38:24,759 --> 00:38:29,959
highly encourage them to do so, because your son's and daughter's will come home from

362
00:38:29,959 --> 00:38:35,999
June 1st in June 3rd with stories about what they witnessed from Mr. Heron. So again, we will

363
00:38:35,999 --> 00:38:42,059
send this information out to our community, but May 27th at 530 in the CHS Theater. That concludes

364
00:38:42,059 --> 00:38:43,959
This is my updates. Thank you, Captain Pontus.

365
00:38:44,299 --> 00:38:44,619
Thank you.

366
00:38:44,619 --> 00:38:45,619
You should have been a miller.

367
00:38:46,059 --> 00:38:46,259
All right.

368
00:38:46,802 --> 00:38:50,762
It brings aside him 30, which is comments from the audience.

369
00:38:51,782 --> 00:38:56,922
As usual, I'll lay down the rules here at the beginning by reading from the agenda.

370
00:38:58,222 --> 00:39:03,782
Anyone wishing to address the board on agenda, non agenda, and or close session items may do so.

371
00:39:04,462 --> 00:39:08,642
Individual speakers will be limited to three minutes and total public input on anyone's subject.

372
00:39:09,682 --> 00:39:15,482
There's normally limited to 20 minutes, but we are going to extend that a little bit tonight so that all can be heard.

373
00:39:17,112 --> 00:39:25,872
Comments on the agenda item may be taken when the agenda item is discussed by the board, and we have several of those on student services report tonight.

374
00:39:27,712 --> 00:39:31,932
Comments on non-agend items will be heard before the consent motion.

375
00:39:32,112 --> 00:39:38,632
If there are three speaker cards or less, and we have two speaker cards and three electronic recordings.

376
00:39:40,982 --> 00:39:44,222
We'll just ask those of you that are going to be speaking at the microphone tonight.

377
00:39:45,322 --> 00:39:47,122
Please try to keep your comments to three minutes.

378
00:39:47,442 --> 00:39:48,862
Mr. McGeele, we'll have a little clock.

379
00:39:49,402 --> 00:39:50,942
We'll come up on the board right there.

380
00:39:51,402 --> 00:39:56,102
If you start going much beyond that, I'll just ask you to cook with some rise your comments.

381
00:39:57,762 --> 00:40:00,862
We'll get through this pretty quickly, so I think that will be fine.

382
00:40:01,542 --> 00:40:07,082
I did have one request that was asked by one of the speakers tonight that I make up the board.

383
00:40:08,662 --> 00:40:16,862
One of the speakers requested that when they come to the podium, they'd be able to speak with their mask down.

384
00:40:17,922 --> 00:40:26,482
I told them that if there's any trustees or that would be uncomfortable with that, I would enforce the mask rule.

385
00:40:28,482 --> 00:40:31,282
So is that the will of the board, we want to do that?

386
00:40:33,392 --> 00:40:40,512
Okay, okay, all right, then per our conversation before answer

387
00:40:41,632 --> 00:40:46,312
We'll please wear our mask when it comes to the podium tonight, but thank you for asking

388
00:40:47,672 --> 00:40:51,172
That being said the only other thing I would say is I say we have

389
00:40:51,712 --> 00:40:58,612
I believe it's eight yellow cards and six electronic public comments that are coming at item 6.3

390
00:40:59,892 --> 00:41:03,952
We have a number of action items to

391
00:41:04,812 --> 00:41:11,992
to go tonight and then another couple of reports before that so it's going to be a while before we get to 6.3.

392
00:41:13,572 --> 00:41:22,872
If any of you that have yellow cards would like to be heard and need to leave before then and want to be heard right now in the next few minutes

393
00:41:23,612 --> 00:41:30,872
I'll ask that once again after we hear the other public comments and if some of you need to leave and you want to speak to the student service report

394
00:41:30,872 --> 00:41:34,272
and don't want to sit around for another hour, hour and a half or so.

395
00:41:34,572 --> 00:41:35,812
I will let you talk right now.

396
00:41:37,492 --> 00:41:40,992
So first of all, take the non-agenda items.

397
00:41:41,872 --> 00:41:44,092
And I think we'll do the electronic comments first.

398
00:41:44,192 --> 00:41:45,112
Mr. Gallagher, are you ready?

399
00:41:45,852 --> 00:41:47,532
We have three electronic public comments.

400
00:41:47,812 --> 00:41:48,752
I'm non-agenda items.

401
00:41:49,172 --> 00:41:50,112
We'll hear those now.

402
00:41:56,042 --> 00:41:59,202
I was reading your write-up and saw this request for feedback.

403
00:42:00,142 --> 00:42:03,442
I have been to multiple city council and CUSD board meetings.

404
00:42:03,442 --> 00:42:10,022
and feel that the school board should be more like the city council, especially with respect to citizen and community input.

405
00:42:10,702 --> 00:42:17,822
I love how city council gives any resident three minutes to talk on any subject at multiple occasions throughout the meeting.

406
00:42:18,482 --> 00:42:23,682
I hate how the school board requires a person to submit a written comment before that you that.

407
00:42:24,062 --> 00:42:29,182
The school board is restricting input by that simple procedure, just copy city council.

408
00:42:29,862 --> 00:42:32,602
Let people get up at the event and speak their mind.

409
00:42:32,602 --> 00:42:39,732
Thank you. While I understand fully support the focus to get children back in school full time

410
00:42:39,732 --> 00:42:44,772
for the next academic year, I am hoping that the district to can communicate to the community,

411
00:42:45,312 --> 00:42:51,572
the plan and timeline for re-establishing in-person adult education services. These were very

412
00:42:51,572 --> 00:42:56,652
valued and important to those who participated prior to the pandemic and are sorely missed.

413
00:42:56,652 --> 00:43:04,632
There has not been any information provided to date as to if when these will resume, especially

414
00:43:04,632 --> 00:43:10,552
considering the population's serve are able to be or are already vaccinated and are

415
00:43:10,552 --> 00:43:13,532
potentially a lower risk population to accommodate.

416
00:43:14,152 --> 00:43:20,852
It is my understanding that the pre pandemic staff contract we connected with regarding offered

417
00:43:20,852 --> 00:43:23,032
courses is no longer an employee.

418
00:43:23,032 --> 00:43:30,132
And the adult education website currently only has information about five spring virtual classes.

419
00:43:31,032 --> 00:43:36,352
So gaining information about the status of summer or fall options is currently a challenge.

420
00:43:36,872 --> 00:43:44,572
An update in an upcoming board meeting district newsletter and an email to previously enrolled adult students

421
00:43:44,572 --> 00:43:50,912
and former teachers would be greatly appreciated to advise interested parties on what the plan is

422
00:43:50,912 --> 00:43:53,532
for offering these critically beneficial services,

423
00:43:54,152 --> 00:43:57,572
which we hope can resume as soon as safely possible.

424
00:43:58,112 --> 00:43:58,772
Thank you.

425
00:44:00,682 --> 00:44:03,202
Close session notice violates the Brown Act

426
00:44:03,202 --> 00:44:07,622
because the one case listed cannot be both anticipated

427
00:44:07,622 --> 00:44:09,322
and or pending litigation.

428
00:44:09,942 --> 00:44:12,422
The litigation must be either pending or anticipated.

429
00:44:13,322 --> 00:44:14,822
One case cannot be both.

430
00:44:15,262 --> 00:44:16,542
If it is pending case,

431
00:44:16,722 --> 00:44:19,502
the district must identify the name of the case name

432
00:44:19,502 --> 00:44:20,962
or case number.

433
00:44:20,962 --> 00:44:29,162
Government Code Section 54956.9B. If it is anticipated litigation, based on a written

434
00:44:29,162 --> 00:44:33,982
threat of litigation, the district must make the document available for public inspection

435
00:44:33,982 --> 00:44:39,922
at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. This closed session item cannot legally proceed as

436
00:44:58,152 --> 00:44:58,672
notice.

437
00:45:06,282 --> 00:45:09,422
So I have a senior at the high school.

438
00:45:10,182 --> 00:45:11,982
Obviously this is a very momentous event.

439
00:45:12,602 --> 00:45:13,122
Graduation.

440
00:45:13,502 --> 00:45:16,182
And I just encourage everybody to remember your own graduation.

441
00:45:16,182 --> 00:45:21,942
your children's graduations, your grandchildren's graduations, sisters, brothers, etc.

442
00:45:22,962 --> 00:45:27,882
My point in bringing this up is university graduations are not necessarily being limited

443
00:45:27,882 --> 00:45:35,322
in number of attendees, so this begs the question to me in a lot of other parents. Why is the HHS limiting

444
00:45:35,322 --> 00:45:44,182
our graduation with four per student? I know that there is this active plan for the graduation,

445
00:45:44,182 --> 00:45:48,642
But what's the backup plan? I'd like to know a plan B specifically.

446
00:45:50,562 --> 00:45:57,682
We know that there are restrictions that are expected to change or actually be lifted all together on June 15th.

447
00:45:57,982 --> 00:46:04,462
So that begs the question also, where's the backup plan for that? Because our graduation to 17th.

448
00:46:04,602 --> 00:46:11,002
I would also like to know the metric that was used for choosing the number of guests per student who came up with this metric,

449
00:46:11,002 --> 00:46:13,782
and who's in charge of that plan currently.

450
00:46:14,902 --> 00:46:16,782
Please remember, this is an outdoor event.

451
00:46:16,802 --> 00:46:39,562
We have room for many more than just four people, per student. The bleachers are not being utilized. The students, in my opinion, deserve, as normal, a graduation as we can give them, period. They have been through enough with restrictions. My hope is that we can all come together for the graduates and not just the high school, like middle school, everybody.

452
00:46:40,782 --> 00:46:43,302
But these kiddos have been working really hard.

453
00:46:43,902 --> 00:46:45,602
In my opinion, science has spoken.

454
00:46:45,982 --> 00:46:47,602
It's safe to do outdoor events,

455
00:46:48,502 --> 00:46:49,842
especially if you're socially distant,

456
00:46:50,122 --> 00:46:53,902
especially if you want to mandate wearing masks even outdoors.

457
00:46:56,422 --> 00:47:00,602
So, in closing, let's just not put any more undo limits on these kids.

458
00:47:01,062 --> 00:47:04,722
Who have worked for 12 plus years to reach this pinnacle of graduation?

459
00:47:05,262 --> 00:47:06,182
It is there, right?

460
00:47:06,562 --> 00:47:07,762
It's not a privilege.

461
00:47:07,762 --> 00:47:08,662
I'm

462
00:47:19,442 --> 00:47:21,942
going to deny who's real faith as an artist.

463
00:47:28,862 --> 00:47:29,322
Thank you.

464
00:47:30,382 --> 00:47:34,042
You know, it's my belief that if you're going to do something we should do it right.

465
00:47:35,862 --> 00:47:41,762
And I've gone back and looked at the only action item pertaining to the 2020-2021

466
00:47:41,762 --> 00:47:47,842
Bell Schedule, which was the meeting that was held on May the 14th of 2020.

467
00:47:47,842 --> 00:47:56,102
And I watched the actual tape in 17 minutes dealing with item 6.6.

468
00:47:57,242 --> 00:48:02,562
And I can assure you that a four by four schedule for 21-22 was never considered or

469
00:48:02,562 --> 00:48:05,222
approved by this board at any point.

470
00:48:06,382 --> 00:48:10,462
And if you go back and look at what was set on the record, I can't believe the way that meeting

471
00:48:10,462 --> 00:48:17,122
was conducted, particularly with respect to whatever, quote, motion was supposedly made.

472
00:48:17,122 --> 00:48:22,232
And there was a lot of confusion on that record and you should go and go back and watch it.

473
00:48:23,182 --> 00:48:28,192
Because Dr. Battles talking about next year, Carl's talking about the following year,

474
00:48:30,442 --> 00:48:38,042
and somewhere in between is Maria Simon who's talking about how this isn't even going to impact 50% of the student population.

475
00:48:39,482 --> 00:48:45,142
I don't think the board had any idea what it was doing or what calendar year it was affecting,

476
00:48:45,142 --> 00:48:47,582
as far as a school calendar year as concerned.

477
00:48:48,282 --> 00:48:49,962
So I would invite the public to go back,

478
00:48:50,082 --> 00:48:53,282
because I'm most concerned with the process

479
00:48:53,282 --> 00:48:56,122
and the integrity of the process.

480
00:48:56,922 --> 00:48:59,222
And if you go back and look at that meeting,

481
00:49:00,042 --> 00:49:01,482
the tape doesn't lie.

482
00:49:02,722 --> 00:49:05,282
A four by four was talked about,

483
00:49:06,102 --> 00:49:09,342
but the only thing on the agenda was an action item

484
00:49:09,342 --> 00:49:12,762
for the 2020-21 Bell Schedule

485
00:49:12,762 --> 00:49:19,002
And right out of the gate, Dr. Battle makes it crystal clear that that

486
00:49:19,002 --> 00:49:24,602
Bell schedule is going to be for a six-period class schedule with some blocks to meet

487
00:49:24,602 --> 00:49:26,542
the extended minute requirements.

488
00:49:28,702 --> 00:49:33,602
So let's talk about the process. I can't believe the number of people who have

489
00:49:33,602 --> 00:49:39,302
come up to me and talk to me about this issue. I feel compelled to pursue it. Why?

490
00:49:40,282 --> 00:49:45,942
My parents went to CHS, my four brothers went to CHS, my brother has three kids here.

491
00:49:46,162 --> 00:49:51,822
I have two kids here and they are very frustrated by the leadership or lack of their

492
00:49:51,822 --> 00:49:58,782
oath and it starts at the top and where it starts in particular are some very good reminders

493
00:49:58,782 --> 00:50:02,542
of what it takes to get things done in a town like Coronado.

494
00:50:04,242 --> 00:50:12,862
Dave Blumenthal used to hold poker parties at his house with teachers and school board members.

495
00:50:13,262 --> 00:50:19,062
My dad was a former president of this board, and if you don't get consensus and buy

496
00:50:19,062 --> 00:50:25,882
in and collaboration and conduct business with integrity, it's not going to work.

497
00:50:26,862 --> 00:50:30,962
And the way you've done business with this particular issue is not going to work in my

498
00:50:30,962 --> 00:50:38,062
opinion, so I'm hoping for the best, but I hope this is a lesson for the right way to

499
00:50:38,062 --> 00:50:39,882
lead and the right way to do business.

500
00:51:05,532 --> 00:51:08,112
Parts, two-thirds of the report.

501
00:51:08,832 --> 00:51:11,672
Keep taking that at 6.3 or less.

502
00:51:11,912 --> 00:51:12,612
I want some space.

503
00:51:13,012 --> 00:51:15,252
Keep taking that at 6.3 or less.

504
00:51:15,592 --> 00:51:18,652
We're good with waiting until the end of that.

505
00:51:19,532 --> 00:51:19,812
Okay.

506
00:51:20,512 --> 00:51:21,592
How did you write down the bill?

507
00:51:22,012 --> 00:51:22,912
Your name, sir?

508
00:51:23,592 --> 00:51:24,092
Thanks, sir.

509
00:51:24,632 --> 00:51:25,492
Mr. Chestnut.

510
00:51:25,832 --> 00:51:26,632
You have the floor, sir.

511
00:51:26,972 --> 00:51:27,732
Three minutes, please.

512
00:51:28,412 --> 00:51:28,912
Very much.

513
00:51:30,672 --> 00:51:31,992
Distinguished board members.

514
00:51:31,992 --> 00:51:37,672
I'm the father of four daughters that are either in or have been in the school district here.

515
00:51:37,912 --> 00:51:44,692
A wise today is many Americans across our great nation, against the radical ideology that seem to be taking hold

516
00:51:44,692 --> 00:51:47,672
such as critical theory and no place for hate.

517
00:51:48,252 --> 00:51:54,832
That ask our children to look at their race and blame one race over another for the problems in today's world.

518
00:51:55,432 --> 00:52:03,012
I rise for compassion, understanding, forbearance, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self-control,

519
00:52:03,672 --> 00:52:07,772
and this spirit, I'm going to stand with anyone, shoulder to shoulder to fight injustice

520
00:52:07,772 --> 00:52:08,412
and racism.

521
00:52:09,512 --> 00:52:15,572
It's for this reason I am going to fight against these ideas that have roots in Marxism,

522
00:52:16,332 --> 00:52:22,392
and that will pit the supposed or posed against the oppressed, the oppressors.

523
00:52:22,392 --> 00:52:38,332
Any student of history will know that from the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Cultural Revolution, Poland, Cuba, Venezuela, we will see that ideology, ideology is only counterproductive, but doesn't work in his dangers.

524
00:52:39,472 --> 00:52:43,712
We should not allow our children to be taught such untrue and dangerous things.

525
00:52:43,712 --> 00:52:50,392
At first glance, no place for hate seems innocent, though maybe a little cringy, with this

526
00:52:50,392 --> 00:52:53,152
stated anti-bullying message in which we can all agree.

527
00:52:54,252 --> 00:52:59,552
However, this program developed by the ADL, an organization which I once had great respect

528
00:52:59,552 --> 00:53:05,812
for, which has become very partisan and labeled by many other organizations as an adjunct

529
00:53:05,812 --> 00:53:07,052
to the Democrat Party.

530
00:53:07,052 --> 00:53:15,052
The very subtle, no place for hate has insidious parallels to critical theory, examples.

531
00:53:16,032 --> 00:53:21,612
They stay from the website, kindness is not enough, you must move beyond kindness, implication

532
00:53:21,612 --> 00:53:26,892
here being is must be confrontational and you must be more of an activist.

533
00:53:27,992 --> 00:53:32,932
What concerns me is whenever you move from kindness to dark place, you're moving toward

534
00:53:32,932 --> 00:53:36,792
I teach my children always to move toward kindness.

535
00:53:37,592 --> 00:53:39,192
This is the great irony of this program.

536
00:53:39,652 --> 00:53:40,332
It's very dangerous.

537
00:53:41,452 --> 00:53:44,352
It's encouraging activism on one political side.

538
00:53:44,832 --> 00:53:46,772
The AVL also considers that a w-

539
00:53:46,802 --> 00:53:55,902
All on a line drawn through the Antifa symbol is hate speech. Is this what we want to teach our children? All of a sudden to be against

540
00:53:55,902 --> 00:54:16,782
down a key focus, to be hateful? My question is how is the no place for hate framework implemented? According to the

541
00:54:16,782 --> 00:54:22,482
on the thirties if we have receded this clerical organization, who authorizes when, who

542
00:54:22,482 --> 00:54:24,642
signed, and why weren't we informed?

543
00:54:26,342 --> 00:54:30,142
So I think that this needs to be looked at at this counterproductive and it would maybe

544
00:54:30,142 --> 00:54:31,162
a little bit dangerous.

545
00:54:32,282 --> 00:54:38,162
Otherwise, there is a product of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and I remember the

546
00:54:38,162 --> 00:54:42,282
first class to be integrated in a small deep-south rule town in Georgia.

547
00:54:42,282 --> 00:54:46,782
I know first-hand what racism and systemic racism looked like.

548
00:54:47,482 --> 00:54:50,642
I saw the signs of colored only being brought down in my hometown.

549
00:54:51,582 --> 00:54:54,502
I made friends and played sports with many blacks in my hometown.

550
00:54:55,362 --> 00:54:56,002
Was it perfect?

551
00:54:56,702 --> 00:54:56,862
No.

552
00:54:57,482 --> 00:54:58,042
Promonius?

553
00:54:58,362 --> 00:54:59,002
Not always.

554
00:54:59,822 --> 00:55:00,882
But did we make progress?

555
00:55:01,262 --> 00:55:01,742
Oh yes.

556
00:55:02,002 --> 00:55:03,042
We absolutely make progress.

557
00:55:03,182 --> 00:55:04,682
By any objective standard.

558
00:55:07,262 --> 00:55:11,622
We're never the school administration tried to inject some type of sensitivity

559
00:55:11,622 --> 00:55:16,662
training for the students. It always backed by it. It was that push back from both sides on it.

560
00:55:16,822 --> 00:55:19,762
You could quite face Mr. Renn, wrap it up please.

561
00:55:20,282 --> 00:55:24,382
Okay, I'm happy to say that my 40th reunion meeting my old friends, many of them black,

562
00:55:24,622 --> 00:55:31,382
embraced me as I came back home and that we were always well-thought of. There was a man here where

563
00:55:31,382 --> 00:55:35,942
we lived, you often spoke of today, when we would judge his children. My mother color this

564
00:55:35,942 --> 00:55:38,542
by the contact of their character.

565
00:55:38,902 --> 00:55:40,742
He said, there was gonna not draw that darkness

566
00:55:40,742 --> 00:55:42,182
only like and do that.

567
00:55:42,402 --> 00:55:44,702
Hate cannot draw that hate, only love can do that.

568
00:55:44,722 --> 00:55:45,602
This was his dream.

569
00:55:46,002 --> 00:55:46,962
Thank you, Mr. Chestnut.

570
00:55:47,082 --> 00:55:47,422
I appreciate it.

571
00:55:47,722 --> 00:55:48,482
Thank you very much.

572
00:55:55,082 --> 00:55:57,902
Any other, is that I'm holding cards for

573
00:55:58,982 --> 00:56:01,142
all willing to wait till the item comes up, correct?

574
00:56:01,542 --> 00:56:01,962
Okay.

575
00:56:02,954 --> 00:56:08,554
That being said, we can move on to item 4, which is the consolidated motion for the consent calendar.

576
00:56:11,704 --> 00:56:16,984
I need a motion to approve the consent calendar, or we can take discussion if we need to do that.

577
00:56:17,484 --> 00:56:23,984
We can take a motion and then take comments after the motion is made, but we need to pull any of the items.

578
00:56:24,804 --> 00:56:26,484
Now it would be the time to do that.

579
00:56:29,124 --> 00:56:31,944
Hearing none, then I'll look for a motion to approve the consent calendar.

580
00:56:31,944 --> 00:56:33,844
and a second please

581
00:56:37,714 --> 00:56:38,854
coming up,

582
00:56:40,974 --> 00:56:42,894
I'm not getting in my machine here, I don't know

583
00:56:42,894 --> 00:56:46,794
something's wrong, but I have a move by Ms. Kazayan, seconded by a

584
00:56:46,794 --> 00:56:49,434
Dr. Anderson Cruz, thank you. Call for a vote, please.

585
00:57:07,064 --> 00:57:08,384
And consent counts have proved

586
00:57:08,384 --> 00:57:13,604
on a 5-O motion. I had a question and a dark calming.

587
00:57:13,684 --> 00:57:16,844
Go ahead and comment by just the elders.

588
00:57:18,544 --> 00:57:25,764
Actually, it was a question to the superintendent on page 37 with regard to the purchase

589
00:57:25,764 --> 00:57:30,304
in order items that were purchased on the bottom of page 37.

590
00:57:30,364 --> 00:57:36,844
There's a book called The Hate You Give, a Movie Tyin for those of you who don't know that

591
00:57:36,844 --> 00:57:42,404
is a book dealing with a black teenager who is killed by a police officer.

592
00:57:42,404 --> 00:57:48,284
it's timely, a major motion picture was made out of it, and I'm not addressing the social

593
00:57:48,284 --> 00:57:56,884
aspect. What I am asking was for which grades, which site made this purchase in that there's

594
00:57:56,884 --> 00:58:07,034
over 89 mentions of the word FU. Maybe I can say it if our students are reading it. It says

595
00:58:07,034 --> 00:58:14,634
fuck you, 89 times in the book, and then there is an acronym that's in the book called

596
00:58:14,634 --> 00:58:20,114
Thug Life, which means that you give little infants, infants, F's everybody. And that's just

597
00:58:20,114 --> 00:58:25,194
part of the book. So I'm not reading anything controversial. I just want to know which site,

598
00:58:25,474 --> 00:58:29,194
what was an age group that is reading this.

599
00:58:31,394 --> 00:58:34,214
Thank you, Trustee Valdez, Clayton. I have confirmed

600
00:58:34,214 --> 00:58:37,334
that those books were ordered from Coronado High School.

601
00:58:38,114 --> 00:58:41,314
I am securing information from Principal Schmeichel

602
00:58:41,314 --> 00:58:45,674
as to the purpose and audience for that book.

603
00:58:46,114 --> 00:58:49,334
We do have young adult novels on our high school campus

604
00:58:49,334 --> 00:58:50,514
that include profanity.

605
00:58:51,094 --> 00:58:53,754
I will secure an answer and provide that to the governing board.

606
00:58:54,434 --> 00:58:55,614
I appreciate it very much.

607
00:58:55,674 --> 00:58:57,574
Thank you.

608
00:58:57,794 --> 00:58:58,354
Yeah, there.

609
00:58:58,674 --> 00:58:59,174
Mr. Zai.

610
00:59:00,534 --> 00:59:02,974
Can we ensure none of the books have profanity

611
00:59:02,974 --> 00:59:03,794
in the libraries?

612
00:59:09,434 --> 00:59:12,754
I mean, we should be able to ensure that the books

613
00:59:12,754 --> 00:59:14,754
were purchasing for our school libraries.

614
00:59:15,834 --> 00:59:17,134
Don't have profanity.

615
00:59:19,454 --> 00:59:23,554
Or any type of sexual pornography, any of that?

616
00:59:25,974 --> 00:59:28,294
I will wait direction from the board, yeah.

617
00:59:29,934 --> 00:59:33,034
I think those are really Supreme Court

618
00:59:33,034 --> 00:59:36,834
first amendment issues that a lot of, and it's a good question,

619
00:59:37,174 --> 00:59:39,694
a lot of school districts are wrestling with

620
00:59:39,694 --> 00:59:48,294
including one school district in Texas that took upon themselves to review this particular book as well.

621
00:59:48,794 --> 00:59:56,774
But if we do it broadly and over broad and vague, which is the legal standard, I don't think we can do that appropriately.

622
00:59:57,474 --> 01:00:03,814
Otherwise, books such as a tequila mockingbird or catcher in the rye would fall into it.

623
01:00:03,834 --> 01:00:08,174
It is a community standard, so that's why I did ask the superintendent.

624
01:00:08,174 --> 01:00:13,574
did? No, we are community context and especially the voices that were even raised right now

625
01:00:13,574 --> 01:00:17,834
from the public comment that people want input, they want buy-in, they want knowledge,

626
01:00:18,514 --> 01:00:26,084
just having that conversation I think here in Coronada we can have it. I don't know if other

627
01:00:26,084 --> 01:00:27,764
people want to jump in.

628
01:00:30,154 --> 01:00:39,774
Did I ask your question, Names? Thank you. Any other items on the

629
01:00:39,798 --> 01:00:46,638
And we will proceed to the actions items at 5.1. 5.1, let me grab that.

630
01:00:48,878 --> 01:00:59,418
Action item 5.1 is to elect a one board member and one alternate board member to represent the Coronado Unified School District to serve in the Coronado financing authority in the successor agency.

631
01:00:59,418 --> 01:01:00,978
And comments from Mr. Mueller.

632
01:01:02,018 --> 01:01:02,818
Thank you, Captain Ponsis.

633
01:01:02,938 --> 01:01:05,798
I have a last deputy superintendent to come up.

634
01:01:06,018 --> 01:01:09,718
I would like to share that the local CDA has been dissolved,

635
01:01:10,318 --> 01:01:14,598
but there's always a possibility for a member of our governing board

636
01:01:14,598 --> 01:01:17,398
to send a representative to the county RDA agency.

637
01:01:17,498 --> 01:01:20,938
If the seat becomes available, I know a trustee has expressed some interest

638
01:01:20,938 --> 01:01:22,378
in serving in that capacity.

639
01:01:22,578 --> 01:01:24,718
And if you have any further additional questions,

640
01:01:24,878 --> 01:01:26,838
deputy Salamanka is available to answer.

641
01:01:28,158 --> 01:01:30,158
Any questions from Ms. Salamaka,

642
01:01:32,368 --> 01:01:36,328
right, and I believe that the trustee of your afferent

643
01:01:36,328 --> 01:01:43,448
who said Lieutenant Miller is that trustee Anderson Cruz, who has volunteered to be nominated

644
01:01:43,448 --> 01:01:44,368
for this position.

645
01:01:44,808 --> 01:01:46,008
That is correct, graciously.

646
01:01:46,728 --> 01:01:48,268
Thank you for that.

647
01:01:48,848 --> 01:01:53,108
I'll nominate Dr. Anderson Cruz, there are any other nominations?

648
01:01:53,428 --> 01:01:54,048
All second.

649
01:01:54,708 --> 01:01:56,668
Seconded by Trustee Valdez Clayton.

650
01:01:57,868 --> 01:02:06,868
We also, according to the background information there, we need a backup to that, is that correct?

651
01:02:07,908 --> 01:02:16,228
Understanding that this individual would serve as an alternate for a seat currently occupied by a resident within Coronado.

652
01:02:16,228 --> 01:02:21,848
I think that we are safe to have an alternate readily available in Dr. Anderson Cruz.

653
01:02:21,848 --> 01:02:26,148
without selecting a second, okay, all right,

654
01:02:28,208 --> 01:02:32,848
then at your night and 5.1 is to let the member,

655
01:02:33,448 --> 01:02:39,668
Dr. Anderson Cruz has been nominated without any others, so if we can approve,

656
01:02:39,688 --> 01:02:45,868
we have a motion, and a second, I had a motion in a second from a personal button here.

657
01:02:47,488 --> 01:02:51,328
We've got it up in the screen already, exactly because I beat you to it there.

658
01:02:52,148 --> 01:02:57,748
I was just, if I may, going back to our conversation about agenda items and everything else,

659
01:02:57,908 --> 01:03:03,028
the agenda item, the motion and progress as elect, one word and one alternate, the recommendation

660
01:03:03,028 --> 01:03:04,608
says shall select.

661
01:03:05,308 --> 01:03:09,688
So for clarity's purposes, I think it should be really clear that we're only doing one

662
01:03:09,688 --> 01:03:14,528
of the two, if that is the motion, but the motion says two things and we're only doing

663
01:03:14,528 --> 01:03:15,068
one of them.

664
01:03:15,088 --> 01:03:16,688
So I don't think that's.

665
01:03:16,688 --> 01:03:26,548
Ms. McGellicott, we've been sure to, within the notes include that the motion was to elect one board member and not an alternate.

666
01:03:28,148 --> 01:03:29,668
Thank you, Trustee Antroner.

667
01:03:30,068 --> 01:03:31,408
Thank you.

668
01:03:31,948 --> 01:03:33,548
And if we're ready to vote, please,

669
01:03:42,458 --> 01:03:43,918
the motion passes unanimously.

670
01:03:44,278 --> 01:03:45,038
Thank you, Trustee.

671
01:03:48,042 --> 01:03:52,082
Item 5.2 is a lengthy one in our agenda.

672
01:03:52,882 --> 01:03:56,022
But a short one on the action items.

673
01:03:56,622 --> 01:04:00,042
Item 5.2 is approval of the Cornell Unified School District of 2020.

674
01:04:01,102 --> 01:04:03,062
School plans for student achievement.

675
01:04:04,642 --> 01:04:08,662
You're the floor to Superintendent Mueller to give you a more information on that.

676
01:04:09,062 --> 01:04:14,262
Thank you, Captain Fontes. I would like to ask our Senior Director of Learning Dr. Megan Battle.

677
01:04:14,262 --> 01:04:20,922
I understand the trustees and the community have had opportunities to review each site

678
01:04:20,922 --> 01:04:27,462
SPSA. Dr. Battle is available to answer any questions the governing board may have prior

679
01:04:27,462 --> 01:04:28,882
to emotion.

680
01:04:29,562 --> 01:04:30,442
Thank you and good evening.

681
01:04:30,882 --> 01:04:38,162
Yes, our SPSA sounds are rather lengthy but for our newest members this is an annual

682
01:04:38,162 --> 01:04:45,882
process that we go through to approve each site plan. I will also share that we've

683
01:04:45,882 --> 01:04:53,262
done a lot of work over the past five years to align goals from the top down in the

684
01:04:53,262 --> 01:04:58,822
bottom up. So we're all speaking the same language when we look at our governing board

685
01:04:58,822 --> 01:05:06,262
goals on the wall. The goals we talk about in this office in the LRP, the LCAP which you'll

686
01:05:06,262 --> 01:05:10,822
the privilege of reviewing next month to our site plans.

687
01:05:11,342 --> 01:05:13,562
So the site plans tend to get more in the weeks,

688
01:05:14,042 --> 01:05:16,742
and the LCAP is kind of the umbrella that they live under.

689
01:05:17,322 --> 01:05:21,082
So I know you've had a chance to review each school site plan,

690
01:05:22,202 --> 01:05:24,522
and I'm available if you have any questions or any questions.

691
01:05:24,522 --> 01:05:27,442
Before I take questions, I'll just say Dr. Balfe,

692
01:05:27,442 --> 01:05:29,742
thank you for, I know you worked with each of the individual

693
01:05:29,742 --> 01:05:34,262
principles and schools and the school site councils for those

694
01:05:34,262 --> 01:05:36,342
may be interested within this package.

695
01:05:36,962 --> 01:05:41,722
The members of the school site councils and those that had input directly to this lengthy

696
01:05:41,722 --> 01:05:43,842
document are all in there.

697
01:05:44,902 --> 01:05:52,542
It is a really hefty item and requires a major effort to make this happen, so thank you

698
01:05:52,542 --> 01:05:55,782
and all those that work with you to make this happen.

699
01:05:56,762 --> 01:06:02,362
Once again, it is one of the biggest report that goes out every year of the thank you to the

700
01:06:02,362 --> 01:06:02,582
efforts.

701
01:06:02,582 --> 01:06:05,042
Are there questions for Dr. Battlehouse?

702
01:06:05,142 --> 01:06:05,902
She's up here.

703
01:06:09,302 --> 01:06:16,562
I have one that I'd like to highlight from a theme running through the plans and your previous

704
01:06:16,562 --> 01:06:25,002
comments and a study that I happen to pick up this past week and the idea is college and career

705
01:06:25,002 --> 01:06:35,262
readiness that we really want to make sure our children have when they leave CUSD and really

706
01:06:35,262 --> 01:06:42,102
education plans, which I love. We have a document, it's got an acronym, and studies show that

707
01:06:42,102 --> 01:06:49,302
first-size education plans are the often the greatest predictor of success. And so we have

708
01:06:50,642 --> 01:06:56,502
these goals, and one of them in particular for the high school. We talk about counselors, we'll support

709
01:06:56,502 --> 01:07:01,582
in planning the first-size education, and making sure that they meet better,

710
01:07:05,242 --> 01:07:05,242
better,

711
01:07:05,242 --> 01:07:10,142
us a lot of explanation of how that goal is going to be achieved whereas some of the other

712
01:07:10,142 --> 01:07:16,082
ones have strategies laid out and specific enumerated markers, if you will. And this

713
01:07:16,082 --> 01:07:20,822
is something that as a board member, I am really interested in supporting and making sure

714
01:07:20,822 --> 01:07:27,702
that those counselors have everything they need, whether it's mental health, because it plays

715
01:07:27,702 --> 01:07:31,662
so much into college and career readiness and graduation requirements and everything else

716
01:07:31,662 --> 01:07:36,622
kind of do, right? Get his off the D&F list and A through G requirements and everything else.

717
01:07:36,842 --> 01:07:42,422
So what are the plans specifically to support that goal and what can we do as a board

718
01:07:42,422 --> 01:07:47,702
to make sure that it can be followed through to really get that piece in place?

719
01:07:48,422 --> 01:07:52,382
Great. Yeah, that's a great question. The pet plans is something that we've been working on

720
01:07:52,382 --> 01:07:57,722
for a number of years. One of our dodea grants. So in it's something we're looking at

721
01:07:58,442 --> 01:08:04,402
articulating from Tinder. So our little guys will have a pet plan that, you know,

722
01:08:04,682 --> 01:08:11,302
it's actually infographic, can, you know, pictures. But really building student agencies through

723
01:08:11,302 --> 01:08:17,442
the student development of their own goals. So we have articulated pet plans at the elementary

724
01:08:17,442 --> 01:08:23,362
level through also through efforts in one of our dodeagrams. And then at the middle school,

725
01:08:23,942 --> 01:08:31,442
We are in year three, no COVID year has made it a little difficult with advisory period, but Miss

726
01:08:31,442 --> 01:08:38,542
Molina has worked with her staff for many hours refining and fine-tuning their plan and then

727
01:08:38,542 --> 01:08:44,542
at the high school is really our next steps is articulating that middle school document to a

728
01:08:44,542 --> 01:08:50,202
high school document. So it is something you'll see in the LCAP it continues to be a goal to further

729
01:08:50,202 --> 01:08:56,282
refined. As far as what a pet plan looks like for typical high school students, so in the

730
01:08:56,282 --> 01:09:01,962
system of ESV non-dance, that we used to track coursework, and are the on track, you see

731
01:09:01,962 --> 01:09:07,522
through G, everything the students doing, we now have another system similar called score.

732
01:09:08,222 --> 01:09:13,822
So the counselors, when they have their annual audit meetings, when they do course requests,

733
01:09:13,822 --> 01:09:20,142
in the early spring with our students, they go through, you know, are they on track to graduate?

734
01:09:20,262 --> 01:09:26,282
That's college readiness. Also looking at pathways that the students are interested in,

735
01:09:26,382 --> 01:09:33,022
can they complete a CTE capstone course, dual enrollment, so college credit, bearing opportunities

736
01:09:33,022 --> 01:09:39,982
for the students. And so that's documented in those, those annual meetings. And then the other

737
01:09:39,982 --> 01:09:45,942
on top of that are really those MTSS support. So you mentioned, you know, that social

738
01:09:45,942 --> 01:09:51,822
emotional learning is different for each high school child. And that's part of the work we're

739
01:09:51,822 --> 01:09:58,042
doing within our MTSS committee at the high school. So from the big picture, you know, tracking

740
01:09:58,042 --> 01:10:04,002
grades, courses, on track to graduate, those individual counselor meetings with the students,

741
01:10:04,002 --> 01:10:08,102
but there is also work that are staff at the high school

742
01:10:08,102 --> 01:10:11,342
does with administrators with high school

743
01:10:11,342 --> 01:10:14,042
to gather feedback on students that they see or struggling.

744
01:10:15,142 --> 01:10:16,702
So, you know, why is a student struggling?

745
01:10:17,022 --> 01:10:18,582
Is it an academic concern?

746
01:10:18,902 --> 01:10:20,202
Is it a behavioral concern?

747
01:10:20,642 --> 01:10:23,262
Is there something going on at home that we're not aware of?

748
01:10:23,282 --> 01:10:27,002
A lot of times our teachers, they get first-hand information

749
01:10:27,002 --> 01:10:29,542
that the administrators don't get or the counselor does it get.

750
01:10:29,982 --> 01:10:32,722
So, they have weekly meetings to discuss those students

751
01:10:32,722 --> 01:10:38,382
and then meet one-on-one with us students to develop a plan to get back on track.

752
01:10:39,122 --> 01:10:44,682
So those pet plans, it's really all encompassing with the social emotional, mental health,

753
01:10:44,682 --> 01:10:45,202
academic,

754
01:10:47,322 --> 01:10:51,002
and those are well documented right now.

755
01:10:51,182 --> 01:10:55,582
We're trying to streamline, though, you know, more documentation for students.

756
01:10:55,842 --> 01:11:01,222
And I think our transition to the new bell schedule will help us do that as far as those

757
01:11:01,222 --> 01:11:06,542
opportunities are concerned as well. But I appreciate that feedback because you do see a

758
01:11:06,542 --> 01:11:12,722
style and each SPSA based on the site administration and the feedback of, you know, their

759
01:11:12,722 --> 01:11:18,022
site council and the teachers and certain representatives. So I can share that.

760
01:11:18,042 --> 01:11:24,662
With our administrators too. Incudos to our administrators, it's very time consuming. I used to write them when I was a

761
01:11:24,662 --> 01:11:32,222
administrator as well. And so it takes a lot of time. There's a lot of meetings with the council and making sure they understand all the metrics.

762
01:11:33,362 --> 01:11:37,922
So really kudos to our site councils and our administrators for their work.

763
01:11:40,462 --> 01:11:46,162
And if I may just briefly jump in, Dr. Battle, Trustee Andrew Mike, I think it's also important to note.

764
01:11:46,162 --> 01:11:51,842
The counselors at our high school, we're very fortunate to have low in comparison to

765
01:11:51,842 --> 01:11:56,342
other county high schools, very low student to counselor ratios at Coronado High School.

766
01:11:56,722 --> 01:12:01,542
And so those conversations about a four-year plan as students select their course of study.

767
01:12:02,122 --> 01:12:06,522
That's a conversation with the counselor and the parent, and then revisiting that as students

768
01:12:06,522 --> 01:12:09,002
interests and or passions evolve.

769
01:12:09,682 --> 01:12:13,882
They start looking at what are some potential courses of study aligned with those interests,

770
01:12:13,882 --> 01:12:16,182
what are some potential post-secondary options.

771
01:12:17,142 --> 01:12:20,642
So really, it's somewhat, although we are creating

772
01:12:20,642 --> 01:12:22,822
the document that Dr. Battle referenced.

773
01:12:22,822 --> 01:12:25,742
It's also a very organic and personalized conversation

774
01:12:26,482 --> 01:12:28,562
that's responsive to the student's journey

775
01:12:28,562 --> 01:12:29,862
at Cornell High School.

776
01:12:32,582 --> 01:12:34,122
I just think of a value at the end of dinner.

777
01:12:36,272 --> 01:12:37,112
Thank you.

778
01:12:37,672 --> 01:12:41,192
So I did notice in the 2019 numbers

779
01:12:41,192 --> 01:12:44,552
that 40% of the students were not at their proficient,

780
01:12:44,592 --> 01:12:46,732
grade level with reading and math.

781
01:12:46,732 --> 01:12:53,332
How are we kind of the how are we catching those students earlier on to making sure that they don't fall

782
01:12:53,332 --> 01:12:58,832
fall behind as they go continue on? I know that we're going to be using them for by four for remediation

783
01:12:58,832 --> 01:13:06,512
but you know, if it's 40% in 2019 and then we've gone through 20 and 21 we may be much further behind

784
01:13:06,512 --> 01:13:12,212
and maybe even 60% now. So how are the how of where we're going to go from there?

785
01:13:12,212 --> 01:13:41,392
Yeah, so thank you for that question. The how is something we're always refining as a school district for all all students at all great levels. It involves a process of professional development for teachers, making sure that the curriculum that we're implementing is being implemented with fidelity that we're staying up to date on instructional strategies that struggling students would benefit by to get back on track, as well as formative assessment data.

786
01:13:41,392 --> 01:13:48,872
So one of the big goals in our LCAP that you'll see next month is more widespread use of regular

787
01:13:48,872 --> 01:13:52,212
formative types of assessments, assessments for learning.

788
01:13:52,772 --> 01:13:58,312
So we're being proactive and really catching students when they first start to fall off the

789
01:13:58,312 --> 01:13:58,692
track.

790
01:13:59,772 --> 01:14:04,452
It's also important to remember that, you know, the data we're seeing in here is the

791
01:14:04,452 --> 01:14:12,132
test scores and that's one snapshot in time where we, you know, student buy-in was a student

792
01:14:12,132 --> 01:14:16,892
tired. Do they try or do they just click? You know, there's a lot of variables that plans

793
01:14:16,892 --> 01:14:22,492
through that cast test. It's, you know, a total of about eight hours for junior, that is called

794
01:14:22,492 --> 01:14:28,092
to finish all of these exams. So, you know, it's one measure we use to measure student achievement,

795
01:14:28,092 --> 01:14:35,152
but we certainly look at grades and common assessments within our ELA and math teams to really

796
01:14:35,152 --> 01:14:40,452
get a better picture of math and English proficiency.

797
01:14:41,052 --> 01:14:46,112
If you compare our CAS to our EP scores, there's a little bit of a discrepancy there.

798
01:14:46,332 --> 01:14:52,952
And so we always use multiple measures to triangulate that data to get a better picture.

799
01:14:52,952 --> 01:14:56,152
but that's a great question and it is something we look at,

800
01:14:56,252 --> 01:14:59,972
especially I brought our subgroup report here.

801
01:15:00,572 --> 01:15:03,572
It's our equity report that's used on our school dashboard

802
01:15:03,572 --> 01:15:08,432
from 2019 and we like to drill down that data

803
01:15:08,432 --> 01:15:12,052
into our subgroups too and where there's struggling

804
01:15:12,052 --> 01:15:15,392
so we can really pinpoint interventions that'll help.

805
01:15:19,052 --> 01:15:19,712
Other questions?

806
01:15:22,682 --> 01:15:25,802
I want to thank you and the various committees

807
01:15:25,802 --> 01:15:31,822
from all the school sites and being able to aggregate all of this data, I want to point us back

808
01:15:31,822 --> 01:15:38,402
to another conversation we'll be having and how it ties into academic achievement. Under

809
01:15:38,402 --> 01:15:46,042
equity board policy 0.415, we are tasked to routinely assess student needs based on disaggregated

810
01:15:46,042 --> 01:15:55,782
data with regard to diversity. So that's the conversation that I want to have today. This is my

811
01:15:55,782 --> 01:15:59,382
is on some respects we've moved the needle

812
01:15:59,382 --> 01:16:01,622
with regard to our Hispanic students.

813
01:16:01,802 --> 01:16:04,442
We're getting closer to Hispanic students

814
01:16:04,442 --> 01:16:07,222
being 25% of all of our student population.

815
01:16:08,382 --> 01:16:10,862
Not only that, but we also have another subgroup,

816
01:16:11,362 --> 01:16:14,862
low social, economic, need student, disabled students.

817
01:16:15,322 --> 01:16:18,482
Those are some of our students that need the most attention.

818
01:16:19,262 --> 01:16:24,042
What I want to focus on primarily is also our successes.

819
01:16:24,042 --> 01:16:30,162
we've had some successes in Coronado High School with regard to the English language, but also

820
01:16:30,162 --> 01:16:39,742
with regard to just the overall performance data. On page 149 it says that we're still struggling

821
01:16:39,742 --> 01:16:47,042
with regard to our Hispanic students, especially in terms of disciplinary and suspension rates.

822
01:16:47,042 --> 01:16:53,002
I wanted to know what, if any new remediation,

823
01:16:53,422 --> 01:16:56,602
are we looking at that we haven't considered before?

824
01:16:56,742 --> 01:16:58,722
Like I said, this is my fifth year here.

825
01:16:59,262 --> 01:17:01,382
It seems that, yes, we're moving forward,

826
01:17:01,562 --> 01:17:03,942
and in particular on page 156,

827
01:17:04,822 --> 01:17:07,602
point number three that you make as a conclusion

828
01:17:07,602 --> 01:17:10,442
on the data's Hispanic students are not accessing

829
01:17:10,442 --> 01:17:13,062
college and career opportunities on the campus.

830
01:17:14,282 --> 01:17:21,082
When we talk about equity education is the number one way that we achieve equity in this country.

831
01:17:21,802 --> 01:17:24,822
If we don't have the right educational opportunities for students,

832
01:17:25,322 --> 01:17:29,562
if we can't do that at Coronado where can you get a great education.

833
01:17:30,022 --> 01:17:31,762
And that's really what I want to ask.

834
01:17:32,322 --> 01:17:37,062
Why do you think that Hispanic students are not being able to access college and career?

835
01:17:37,222 --> 01:17:39,442
Have we delved into a language barrier?

836
01:17:39,442 --> 01:17:46,902
Many of them are of foreign students transferred midway through the district, are these being offered on the weekend.

837
01:17:47,322 --> 01:17:51,262
Are they offered in Spanish for the parents that don't understand English?

838
01:17:51,482 --> 01:17:54,562
I was one of those students, so I had to translate for my parents.

839
01:17:55,482 --> 01:17:59,362
My father worked late into the evening, so I had to rely on the weekend.

840
01:17:59,902 --> 01:18:05,162
What is going on here? What are we delving into? What's the deep dive here now?

841
01:18:05,162 --> 01:18:20,482
And thank you, I really appreciate the question and it is something that you'll see once again in our goals and in the LCAP is providing more opportunities for Spanish-speaking families to engage.

842
01:18:20,482 --> 01:18:28,162
So, if we look at the California global 2030 plan, right, and it talks about the state demographics,

843
01:18:28,482 --> 01:18:32,442
what you're describing is what we're seeing across the entire state.

844
01:18:34,282 --> 01:18:40,342
And so, specifically, students, I'll go back to the counseling meetings, so they get that

845
01:18:40,342 --> 01:18:46,522
individualized support and, you know, high expectations, you can take an AP class, you know,

846
01:18:46,562 --> 01:18:48,022
equity and access in all of our...

847
01:18:49,322 --> 01:19:00,722
So we are doing more work in that arena. So we're pinpointing, you know, we're identifying students, where we can start to close those achievement gaps.

848
01:19:01,622 --> 01:19:06,842
But overall, parent outreach, that's a huge part of this in family engagement.

849
01:19:07,842 --> 01:19:17,822
The other piece that you'll find in the global 2030 plan is making sure we have a strong SEO, healthy, caring, learning community.

850
01:19:17,822 --> 01:19:23,202
And so work that we've been doing with MTSS, specifically for Behaviors.

851
01:19:23,382 --> 01:19:28,402
So you mentioned the suspension expulsion rates and is restorative practices.

852
01:19:29,142 --> 01:19:34,862
So we can't just jump to get out of my room, go home, because you misbehaved.

853
01:19:35,382 --> 01:19:43,962
What are we doing to restore the learning community and help the student find other ways of managing their behaviors.

854
01:19:43,962 --> 01:19:48,462
In that moment, but then long-term, what are the strategies that that student needs?

855
01:19:49,242 --> 01:19:51,362
Do they need to have some other counseling support?

856
01:19:51,682 --> 01:19:53,662
So then truly individualizing that support.

857
01:19:54,702 --> 01:19:59,882
The other piece that we've been engaging with, professional learning for staff, silver store

858
01:19:59,882 --> 01:20:05,422
practices, and then positive behavior intervention supports is kind of the more global school

859
01:20:05,422 --> 01:20:08,442
community down to the individualized classroom.

860
01:20:09,202 --> 01:20:17,302
So, really, you know, the next step for us is transitioning those pieces into an assets

861
01:20:17,302 --> 01:20:18,842
oriented learning environment.

862
01:20:19,342 --> 01:20:23,882
Every child that walks through that door has an asset, has something to offer, and that

863
01:20:23,882 --> 01:20:29,002
directly ties like you said to the equity work that we're doing, and so the research shows

864
01:20:29,002 --> 01:20:35,882
that if we develop that assets oriented environments that students feel value, they feel safe,

865
01:20:35,882 --> 01:20:42,202
feel reaffirmed and that translates to engagement. So now they're able to engage with the curriculum.

866
01:20:43,522 --> 01:20:51,062
The other piece is professional learning for our staff on culturally responsive teaching and

867
01:20:51,062 --> 01:20:57,822
pedagogie. So you know the examples that you give to build background knowledge as an instructor,

868
01:20:58,682 --> 01:21:03,642
you know some students maybe they don't know this is a silly example for lack of just thinking

869
01:21:03,642 --> 01:21:06,982
but not for example, but, you know, what a tractor looks like.

870
01:21:07,262 --> 01:21:08,822
And now we're learning about tractors.

871
01:21:08,922 --> 01:21:13,322
You know, those are for our little guys, but maybe they weren't exposed to other books

872
01:21:13,322 --> 01:21:17,422
that we take for granted, you know, you know, everyone's read Kat and I have, right?

873
01:21:17,602 --> 01:21:19,442
Well, maybe not, everyone has read it.

874
01:21:19,442 --> 01:21:22,362
And so, making sure that when we're building background knowledge,

875
01:21:22,562 --> 01:21:27,362
that we're giving multiple examples, so the students find the curriculum relevant.

876
01:21:27,742 --> 01:21:32,482
And so that relevant teaching does translate to academic achievement.

877
01:21:32,482 --> 01:21:47,002
It's really, it's a numbellic, it's that community engagement, the positive school culture as school-wide also within the classroom, and then really scaffolding and getting down to the teaching strategies for our students.

878
01:21:47,002 --> 01:21:52,802
And what connects all those dots, you touched on assessing how we constantly and consistently

879
01:21:52,802 --> 01:21:53,882
assessing our students.

880
01:21:54,602 --> 01:21:57,382
So, it truly is doing those formative assessments,

881
01:21:59,782 --> 01:22:01,362
those social-botional learning assessments,

882
01:22:01,722 --> 01:22:04,462
we have a data system that will be rolling out next year.

883
01:22:04,682 --> 01:22:09,762
Once you can, you'll see that as a uncle in our LCAP that does provide those formative

884
01:22:09,762 --> 01:22:16,902
opportunities but also ways that we can get immediate feedback on the social

885
01:22:16,902 --> 01:22:20,802
emotional well-being of where our students are at and then do it multiple times a year

886
01:22:20,802 --> 01:22:26,502
to see the growth and areas we need to focus. Something we implemented this year

887
01:22:26,502 --> 01:22:33,802
in COVID is working with Ms. Braga doing monthly outreach meetings not only for

888
01:22:33,802 --> 01:22:39,022
English learner families but we then widened the audience and sent it to all

889
01:22:39,022 --> 01:22:45,242
families, really strategically reaching out to families that have struggling students who might,

890
01:22:46,202 --> 01:22:50,202
you know, not be an English learner, but are we classified students who are still struggling?

891
01:22:51,322 --> 01:22:53,862
And those topics, they were expansive.

892
01:22:54,342 --> 01:22:59,842
I attended all of them with her, but ranging from just understanding the English learner program,

893
01:23:00,382 --> 01:23:06,722
the LPAC, how do I read the results to, how do I help my child at home who's struggling?

894
01:23:06,722 --> 01:23:13,062
how do I navigate technology? We know that's that's a huge one. That was a very well-attended one,

895
01:23:13,962 --> 01:23:18,762
but it's something we want to continue and then take it to the next level and offer it into language

896
01:23:18,762 --> 01:23:26,882
at Spanish and English. Yeah, so we're working on it as part of our goals in our action items.

897
01:23:27,822 --> 01:23:33,322
I'm really encouraged by the two main points, the two main takeaways that you're doing

898
01:23:33,322 --> 01:23:39,502
different is the expansive use of a second language of having these materials, access and

899
01:23:39,502 --> 01:23:45,582
Spanish, but also liaising strongly if you know a Hispanic culture, it's family oriented,

900
01:23:45,702 --> 01:23:51,302
getting the family to buy in and having both parents there to be able to do that.

901
01:23:51,582 --> 01:23:55,042
And perhaps we can reach out to the county office of education.

902
01:23:55,042 --> 01:23:59,262
I know that they've been doing this work, and I think it's really timely.

903
01:23:59,262 --> 01:24:04,942
the more our school district inches towards 25% of our student population.

904
01:24:05,222 --> 01:24:11,482
I'm looking at the numbers at Silver Strand, Hispanic Latino students are now 25.5%.

905
01:24:11,482 --> 01:24:17,182
It's a dramatic increase and we see these numbers inching forward and I know that various

906
01:24:17,182 --> 01:24:21,002
community members always ask, like, why are we focused on that group?

907
01:24:21,502 --> 01:24:26,982
It's because sometimes there's that connect with the grades as well, the lack of academic

908
01:24:26,982 --> 01:24:32,562
achievement, the huge academic achievement gap, that's really what equity is about, you know,

909
01:24:32,602 --> 01:24:37,682
having every child be able to access an equitable manner of public school education.

910
01:24:38,422 --> 01:24:40,442
Thank you for your work. Absolutely, thank you.

911
01:24:40,762 --> 01:24:46,642
Just a quick performance. If you just want to second Dr. Anderson, please, I just add on

912
01:24:46,642 --> 01:24:55,942
with Tiffy Valley Squadenette, there are four schools that have these school site plans

913
01:24:55,942 --> 01:25:05,402
and LCAP attachments. 280 pages of this agenda is devoted to those four schools. That's

914
01:25:05,402 --> 01:25:14,162
about 70 pages per school. And I just stood back up with Tiffy Valley Squadenette has pointed

915
01:25:14,162 --> 01:25:20,182
about. You cannot read through those 280 pages, and I'm not

916
01:25:20,182 --> 01:25:23,982
considered an I read word word every one, but there are a lot

917
01:25:23,982 --> 01:25:26,982
of diagrams, little speedometer diagrams, things like that.

918
01:25:27,002 --> 01:25:31,842
You cannot read that, and not notice that we need to better

919
01:25:31,842 --> 01:25:38,022
support our Hispanic students. And almost across the board, they

920
01:25:38,022 --> 01:25:42,382
like a few percentage points behind. And as you pointed

921
01:25:42,382 --> 01:25:48,402
out. It's been several years now. I know we've put a lot of attention on this, so we are aware.

922
01:25:49,282 --> 01:25:53,722
And I think Dr. Battlin and our people are going to work real hard to try to help you with

923
01:25:53,722 --> 01:26:00,582
that. And it is evident. So, take a look to the agenda. I didn't say if you have a few minutes

924
01:26:00,582 --> 01:26:03,102
and you will see exactly what she's been talking about.

925
01:26:03,882 --> 01:26:09,482
And this is a couple of online on the California School Dashboard, but it's my favorite report

926
01:26:09,482 --> 01:26:13,702
because it really shows in one page, not the click back and forth.

927
01:26:14,162 --> 01:26:18,022
You know, where the inequities are, and we can really...

928
01:26:18,042 --> 01:26:29,302
We see, you know, is it absenteeism, what's the subgroup who is struggling the most with chronic absenteeism, suspension, graduation rate, college career readiness, English language arts, and math.

929
01:26:29,482 --> 01:26:30,362
It is across the board.

930
01:26:30,362 --> 01:26:31,582
All of it.

931
01:26:32,842 --> 01:26:41,922
Well, those are the pages I had marked because I had noted that we have three subgroups that are overrepresented in suspensions.

932
01:26:41,922 --> 01:26:50,822
And I think sometimes if a child is constantly faced with your failing at this and is marginalized,

933
01:26:51,542 --> 01:26:54,922
then there's going to be some acting out and so I share that concern.

934
01:26:55,522 --> 01:27:05,282
And I'm hoping that at the end of next year we will see specifics on how these behaviors have been mitigated

935
01:27:05,282 --> 01:27:12,302
so that all of our children can actualize their full potential and we'll see the numbers move because

936
01:27:12,302 --> 01:27:21,382
I know we have the talent at the school to address the needs of the students and so I will be very interested

937
01:27:21,382 --> 01:27:25,222
Mr. Superintendent and seeing outcomes for next year.

938
01:27:25,482 --> 01:27:32,502
I think COVID has certainly been a significant intervening variable for some of the assessments.

939
01:27:32,502 --> 01:27:42,562
As was mentioned earlier, it's not beyond belief that these students are exhausted and just take their pencil and mark answers at random.

940
01:27:44,382 --> 01:27:47,582
I know that that has happened after 20 years of teaching high school.

941
01:27:48,642 --> 01:27:52,322
So, I'm not saying that's what happened, but I'm saying it's a possibility.

942
01:27:53,042 --> 01:28:00,182
And I think we'll get more accurate assessment results from students when they're back in school full time.

943
01:28:00,182 --> 01:28:27,842
And I personally put more stock in formative assessment than somebody because formative is that student, that teacher, that time in the classroom and I think it's a more accurate description of the students and I know that our teachers are doing their best so that our kids can actualize all of their full potential and I want to thank you in concert with my colleagues here.

944
01:28:27,842 --> 01:28:34,702
This is a substantial piece of work and having worked on these myself.

945
01:28:34,742 --> 01:28:40,542
I understand all the work that was done and please thank the admin and everybody who spent

946
01:28:41,902 --> 01:28:47,962
17 years putting this together, you know, it's really, it's very well done and there are

947
01:28:47,962 --> 01:28:54,082
some red flags here and I appreciate that you noted them and put it on the head list of things

948
01:28:54,082 --> 01:28:55,042
that we're working on.

949
01:28:55,202 --> 01:28:56,082
Thank you, Dr. Battle.

950
01:28:58,822 --> 01:29:03,712
Can we make this part of the equity task committee?

951
01:29:04,312 --> 01:29:08,372
Because the focus really needs to be, I know, a little bit premature, but the equity task

952
01:29:08,372 --> 01:29:15,392
committee from SCCOE could help us with this direction, and in those 20 to 25% of students

953
01:29:15,392 --> 01:29:22,672
in the students that are underperforming really have some metrics that on the equity task

954
01:29:22,672 --> 01:29:27,372
meetings, on the committee meetings, we can look towards, you know,

955
01:29:27,372 --> 01:29:33,112
How are they doing it at other schools and if we're going to use them as it because we have a you know

956
01:29:33,112 --> 01:29:37,612
We have a contract with them for two years. This could be a main focus for that equity task committee

957
01:29:38,472 --> 01:29:43,532
So I think we're you'll see the alignment and I really appreciate that comment is with

958
01:29:43,532 --> 01:29:48,252
our some of our tiger teams the the recommendations that I know

959
01:29:48,252 --> 01:29:50,712
Miss Foley will be be highlighting for us

960
01:29:51,212 --> 01:29:54,192
Not sure today or you know next meeting, but

961
01:29:54,192 --> 01:30:08,312
The Tiger Team for Professional Learning, so when we talk about formative assessment, streamlining services under MCSS, that's a lot of staff professional learning and alignment of materials and resources.

962
01:30:08,832 --> 01:30:17,072
So I think between some of those staff Tiger teams, there's going to be a direct connection and connecting some of these dots.

963
01:30:17,652 --> 01:30:24,992
as well as other committees that we work in conjunction with that really go hand in hand with the equity committee or MGSS committees.

964
01:30:26,392 --> 01:30:28,052
It's all under that same umbrella.

965
01:30:29,932 --> 01:30:35,292
So, I know our Tiger teams have talked about, you know, the acquisition piece, the behavioral piece.

966
01:30:35,972 --> 01:30:38,632
Dr. Valice, Mr. Foley back there shaking their hands.

967
01:30:39,072 --> 01:30:45,372
Just trust me, because I want you repeat that question when we get the equity committee and ask it of Miss Foley.

968
01:30:45,372 --> 01:30:47,492
All right, I think that'd be a great thing.

969
01:30:47,672 --> 01:30:48,372
Great way to go.

970
01:30:48,932 --> 01:30:49,492
Any other questions?

971
01:30:49,652 --> 01:30:51,152
We're Dr. Battaloa, we're up here.

972
01:30:51,312 --> 01:30:52,372
I have up here.

973
01:30:53,732 --> 01:30:58,492
Hearing none, I will ask for a motion to approve the

974
01:30:58,492 --> 01:31:02,372
USB 2020 school plan for student achievement.

975
01:31:04,642 --> 01:31:06,222
I have a motion and a second.

976
01:31:06,882 --> 01:31:07,602
I believe.

977
01:31:08,362 --> 01:31:08,942
So see you after me.

978
01:31:09,102 --> 01:31:10,602
So she goes, I thank you.

979
01:31:10,882 --> 01:31:11,822
I'll call for the vote, please.

980
01:31:20,922 --> 01:31:21,802
Motion approved.

981
01:31:21,922 --> 01:31:23,142
Motion approved unanimously.

982
01:31:23,142 --> 01:31:23,722
please.

983
01:31:25,102 --> 01:31:27,902
If these things in the mail, I'm sure it'll be a great day.

984
01:31:27,962 --> 01:31:29,722
It'll be posted on our website tomorrow.

985
01:31:30,002 --> 01:31:30,702
Now it's proof.

986
01:31:32,782 --> 01:31:34,302
Thank you, Dr. Vattle.

987
01:31:37,326 --> 01:31:53,846
Our next item is 5.3, which is approval of local planning, sending a go planning office of education, and sending a go county districts plan for serving expelled pupils, 2021, 2024, and superintendent, Mueller, you have some comments for this one, I believe.

988
01:31:54,526 --> 01:32:07,306
Yes, thank you, Captain Pontus. I'd like to ask our director of student services, Ms. Nefully, to share with the governing board, our partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education, and how they provide services for expelled students.

989
01:32:07,326 --> 01:32:13,086
across the county, including potential expense students in Coronado, Miss Foley.

990
01:32:13,826 --> 01:32:27,546
Good afternoon. Nice to see everyone today. So as Mr. Mueller just stated, this plan is a plan that's developed every three years and it's a plan that looks backwards and looks forward.

991
01:32:28,086 --> 01:32:32,986
So what did we do back there? And then what do we need to improve going forward?

992
01:32:32,986 --> 01:32:45,486
So, what you will hear, and if you haven't heard this theme, you will hear it repeated over and over again in our reports tonight, it just so happens that all of our reports overlap similar topics.

993
01:32:46,266 --> 01:33:01,946
The emphasis of our plan for serving expelled students, collaboration and support from San Diego County Office of Education, restorative and trauma in restorative practices and trauma informed care.

994
01:33:01,946 --> 01:33:06,626
MTSS and equity work to improve student-connectedness.

995
01:33:07,786 --> 01:33:13,766
Other means of correction as necessary for students prior to expulsion.

996
01:33:14,606 --> 01:33:20,606
And this really provides that continuum of alternative options for expelled students.

997
01:33:22,026 --> 01:33:26,326
Oftentimes people will say when I participate in these committees with the county office,

998
01:33:26,326 --> 01:33:28,506
Well, why is Coranado on here?

999
01:33:29,166 --> 01:33:33,706
Well, we don't have many Excel students and that is phenomenal.

1000
01:33:34,366 --> 01:33:39,506
That speaks to our community, that speaks to our educators, that speaks to the way that we

1001
01:33:39,506 --> 01:33:43,526
provide a safety net around our students to capture them before this.

1002
01:33:44,106 --> 01:33:47,106
But we also know that we need to have a plan in place.

1003
01:33:47,446 --> 01:33:50,426
So this plan before you is extremely detailed.

1004
01:33:50,426 --> 01:33:55,666
But this plan is what are those alternatives for a student?

1005
01:33:56,286 --> 01:34:00,346
There's the big five areas that a student must be expelled.

1006
01:34:00,966 --> 01:34:05,646
Related to weapons related to drugs, sale of drugs,

1007
01:34:06,686 --> 01:34:09,206
explosives, things in those areas.

1008
01:34:09,846 --> 01:34:11,006
And then what do we do?

1009
01:34:11,386 --> 01:34:17,226
So in our case, the community schools that are throughout San Diego County

1010
01:34:17,226 --> 01:34:44,706
would be the support for our students, and then that student is always our student, so that student may be away and off our campuses for a semester or up to a year, and then that student returns to us, and we need to be prepared for that restorative piece that student is coming back into a very small community, where everyone likely has known what has happened or some version of what they think has happened,

1011
01:34:44,706 --> 01:34:49,066
And that's when that restorative piece really has to take place.

1012
01:34:49,366 --> 01:34:56,766
That student is our student and will return and we will provide those supports in order for that student to do that safely.

1013
01:34:57,706 --> 01:34:58,246
Any questions?

1014
01:34:58,246 --> 01:35:09,706
Yeah, it looks like one question just for the public to, to expel a student in Coronado Unified School District, who has the final authority to do that?

1015
01:35:11,226 --> 01:35:13,106
I see a gentleman, you want to help over that?

1016
01:35:13,486 --> 01:35:14,226
They got running board.

1017
01:35:16,206 --> 01:35:25,506
Okay, so, and I can't recall two or three years ago, once the last time, I can't...

1018
01:35:25,506 --> 01:35:25,986
Two years ago.

1019
01:35:26,126 --> 01:35:28,186
Yeah, we had an expulsion two years ago.

1020
01:35:28,786 --> 01:35:34,726
They've, as, as Ms. Foley shared, they don't, they don't cross your desk often in, in our district,

1021
01:35:34,946 --> 01:35:41,106
but we do have systems and supports in place and this partnership with County Office of Education as part of that.

1022
01:35:41,106 --> 01:35:45,986
for the board. It's not a lead sets. Hopefully we'll never have to use this document.

1023
01:35:48,146 --> 01:35:50,366
Any other questions for Mr. Foley?

1024
01:35:50,406 --> 01:35:51,986
I'll be back up in a while.

1025
01:35:53,346 --> 01:35:54,386
Thank you.

1026
01:35:54,966 --> 01:35:55,186
Thank you.

1027
01:35:55,506 --> 01:36:00,106
Then we need a motion please for approval of a local plan.

1028
01:36:01,386 --> 01:36:03,566
And a second. Thank you.

1029
01:36:05,856 --> 01:36:06,576
Let's get into the answer.

1030
01:36:06,976 --> 01:36:07,976
Thank you very much.

1031
01:36:08,136 --> 01:36:08,976
Call for a vote please.

1032
01:36:14,576 --> 01:36:19,976
And it's one that's also approved unanimously and we can put this on in the mail also. Thank you.

1033
01:36:21,514 --> 01:36:29,534
I'm just item 5.4, which is a approval of the U.S. to expand and learning opportunity grant plan, Superintendent Mueller.

1034
01:36:30,174 --> 01:36:42,774
Thank you, Captain Pontus. We are going to call back up, our senior director of learning, Dr. Megan Battle, to answer any questions the governing board may have about this agenda item.

1035
01:36:45,684 --> 01:36:46,264
Dr. Battle.

1036
01:36:47,024 --> 01:36:48,184
Good evening.

1037
01:36:48,584 --> 01:36:51,784
I know you've had an opportunity to read our grant plan.

1038
01:36:52,624 --> 01:36:59,604
I worked on that in collaboration with Mr. Salamaca and also you note from the stakeholder

1039
01:36:59,604 --> 01:37:04,184
engagement section of other stakeholders that also provided input on this plan.

1040
01:37:04,804 --> 01:37:11,404
So these are one-time money that the state is providing to districts and please correct me

1041
01:37:11,404 --> 01:37:20,724
among the money part, but we are receiving a little over $2 million dollars, that needs to

1042
01:37:20,724 --> 01:37:26,424
be spent to provide supplemental instruction and support to students following this school

1043
01:37:26,424 --> 01:37:26,844
year.

1044
01:37:27,464 --> 01:37:33,924
So how are we going to accelerate learning and catch our students up and make sure that they

1045
01:37:33,924 --> 01:37:40,324
are prepared not just for the next grade level, but also continue to provide those supports

1046
01:37:40,324 --> 01:37:46,204
next school year during the school year. You will see along with the themes that have

1047
01:37:46,204 --> 01:37:53,484
already been discussed this evening, the lens that we use to develop this plan is a

1048
01:37:53,484 --> 01:37:59,424
social-emotional mental health lens for our students. So research that is recently

1049
01:37:59,424 --> 01:38:05,824
come out of Rand Corporation, American Association of Pediatrics. The key to really reintroducing

1050
01:38:05,824 --> 01:38:12,804
our students back into our educational system is mental health and social emotional support.

1051
01:38:13,684 --> 01:38:23,284
So you saw highlighted how we plan to use the funding to remediate academics, get our students

1052
01:38:23,284 --> 01:38:30,584
ready for the next grade of level who have fallen further behind and also widespread for

1053
01:38:30,584 --> 01:38:38,924
students using our NTSS work and committee and additional counseling to make sure that those

1054
01:38:38,924 --> 01:38:44,704
supports our employees throughout the school year. As we assess our kids and see, okay, really

1055
01:38:44,704 --> 01:38:52,584
what was the learning loss and how are we going to mitigate it? So I'm available if you have any

1056
01:38:52,584 --> 01:38:59,104
questions relative to our plan. Dr. Babley, some of this Monday is going to our summer school program

1057
01:38:59,104 --> 01:39:05,924
is that correct? Yes, that is correct and so we strategically make sure that we're able to

1058
01:39:05,924 --> 01:39:13,144
offer summer school this year as well as next summer. That is part of the plan for the funding.

1059
01:39:16,004 --> 01:39:21,804
In addition to ESY, which we always offer. This is quite, you know, there's a lot of money came to

1060
01:39:21,804 --> 01:39:30,544
us in the COVID window. If anybody is interested on page 4, 46 of the agenda, she has a

1061
01:39:30,544 --> 01:39:36,384
looking down, or Mr. Salamukas, broken it down into the various categories that Dr.

1062
01:39:36,484 --> 01:39:37,524
Battle just discussed.

1063
01:39:38,444 --> 01:39:40,604
Any other questions for Dr. Battle on this topic?

1064
01:39:41,284 --> 01:39:48,244
Dr. Battle, this also includes attention for our special needs students, correct?

1065
01:39:49,404 --> 01:39:50,184
Yes, absolutely.

1066
01:39:51,244 --> 01:39:59,484
We have a teacher very concerned about special needs students having the same amount or more

1067
01:39:59,484 --> 01:40:05,244
time in Gen Ed classes so that they could, you know, be with their peers.

1068
01:40:06,044 --> 01:40:11,344
And so I, I, I, I, very pleased to hear that, so that none of our children have

1069
01:40:11,344 --> 01:40:15,044
denied the opportunity to, to get the education and the supports needed.

1070
01:40:15,744 --> 01:40:19,744
And our Hispanic students and our, low-SES students, yes.

1071
01:40:20,104 --> 01:40:20,484
Yes.

1072
01:40:20,624 --> 01:40:27,604
So while the plan, it comes to all students and, it'll serve all students, there is a requirement

1073
01:40:27,604 --> 01:40:33,184
for emphasis to be put on students that are socioeconomically disadvantaged, students with disabilities,

1074
01:40:33,484 --> 01:40:36,044
or English learners, foster homeless youth.

1075
01:40:36,224 --> 01:40:40,684
So all of the end-duplicated groups, as well as specific to core and autosub groups,

1076
01:40:40,944 --> 01:40:44,564
what students have fallen behind for their behind during this time.

1077
01:40:45,224 --> 01:40:50,104
Relative to special education as well, ten percent of these monies.

1078
01:40:50,264 --> 01:40:52,784
It's a requirement to be used for instructional assistance,

1079
01:40:52,784 --> 01:40:59,864
So, making sure that we're strategically using instructional assistance to push in to our Genet classrooms.

1080
01:41:00,764 --> 01:41:11,044
So, our students do receive that best first instruction in the core curricular area and double-dip services to bring them back up to where they need to be.

1081
01:41:11,344 --> 01:41:19,044
And the assistance will come as part of the academic program so that they're not embarrassed or set aside or, you know.

1082
01:41:19,044 --> 01:41:24,004
Absolutely. I think our students are used to seeing adults in and out of the classrooms.

1083
01:41:25,284 --> 01:41:32,344
And so it's part of the group work that our students are used to participating in.

1084
01:41:32,924 --> 01:41:35,064
Thank you very much, Dr. Battle.

1085
01:41:35,984 --> 01:41:37,324
I think that's exactly why.

1086
01:41:37,324 --> 01:41:44,164
So we had a comment when we first started the meeting about the adult education with regards to disabilities

1087
01:41:44,164 --> 01:41:55,164
And the comment from a parent asking when the adult education was coming back, I think we have some kids up, or young adults up to 22 that we support.

1088
01:41:55,584 --> 01:41:59,124
So are those individuals going to be part of this summer program as well?

1089
01:41:59,584 --> 01:42:07,364
So yeah, our transition program that we serve for students with disabilities up to 22 is separate from our adult education program.

1090
01:42:07,364 --> 01:42:27,664
I believe what that comment was referring to and I made a note to myself to follow up on that was when pre-COVID, we had decreased the hobby type adulthood classes that were fee-based, we couldn't financially sustain it.

1091
01:42:27,664 --> 01:42:34,204
And so we do get adult ed money specific for any adult in the community or other communities

1092
01:42:35,144 --> 01:42:37,024
for our EL classes.

1093
01:42:37,604 --> 01:42:41,904
So for English classes, also we have a business class.

1094
01:42:42,144 --> 01:42:46,684
We've added a registered behavioral therapist certificate class.

1095
01:42:47,264 --> 01:42:49,244
So we have those, it's two different.

1096
01:42:49,504 --> 01:42:53,704
But this plan will serve our transition students as well as we did.

1097
01:42:54,244 --> 01:42:54,404
Yeah.

1098
01:42:54,764 --> 01:42:55,684
Mm-hmm.

1099
01:42:55,684 --> 01:43:01,324
I have a question just for the general audience who may be viewing this, what percentage of

1100
01:43:01,324 --> 01:43:06,104
our student population is socio-economicly disadvantaged?

1101
01:43:06,804 --> 01:43:12,784
So we're at about 13% which is an increase as about 3% from last school year.

1102
01:43:13,944 --> 01:43:17,784
And that's really important to note because you wouldn't think in a community like Coronado

1103
01:43:17,784 --> 01:43:22,604
that we have needs, you know, we all have different needs, emotional, some financial,

1104
01:43:25,664 --> 01:43:25,664
some

1105
01:43:25,664 --> 01:43:30,824
know it's so important to drill down and be able to afford these extra resources and I'm

1106
01:43:30,824 --> 01:43:39,684
looking in particular at Village Elementary, it's at 11% and then Coronado Middle School has,

1107
01:43:40,544 --> 01:43:48,524
I just had that one, also noted in their report that social economic lead to disadvantaged

1108
01:43:48,524 --> 01:43:51,484
students declined by 13 points in their e-mail.

1109
01:43:51,514 --> 01:43:57,614
The LA scores demanding and warranting extra attention. That's the exact word, warranting our attention.

1110
01:43:58,694 --> 01:44:05,814
And I continue to read our largest subgroup of students or Hispanic declined five points in LA, warranting attention again.

1111
01:44:06,394 --> 01:44:13,134
So these are the red flags that we want to focus on with those money. So thank you for alerting us to that.

1112
01:44:14,834 --> 01:44:23,014
other questions? In that case, we're on item 5.4, if I could get a motion to approve

1113
01:44:23,014 --> 01:44:26,354
the learning opportunity grant plan. On the second please,

1114
01:44:35,624 --> 01:44:36,664
please take a dive and

1115
01:44:36,664 --> 01:44:41,104
enter them again. If I didn't believe, thank you Dr. Battler.

1116
01:44:43,824 --> 01:44:45,224
Put them for some overtime tonight, wait.

1117
01:44:52,294 --> 01:44:55,594
We're updating. A motion pass unanimously. Thank

1118
01:44:55,594 --> 01:44:59,194
you again, Dr. Battler and trustees for approving that item.

1119
01:45:00,803 --> 01:45:07,543
All right, item 5.5, approve the annual declaration of need for how we qualify the educators in the next school year.

1120
01:45:07,823 --> 01:45:12,943
Thank you, Captain Pantes. As stated, this is an annual agenda item for the governing board.

1121
01:45:13,923 --> 01:45:19,543
Coronado Unified School District does not anticipate the need for any emergency or interim type credentials.

1122
01:45:19,543 --> 01:45:31,183
However, if the need does arise, we need to have authorization from the governing board via this agenda item anticipating.

1123
01:45:31,483 --> 01:45:35,083
Just in case we have any issues filling certificated positions.

1124
01:45:36,063 --> 01:45:38,283
Again, this is an annual document document.

1125
01:45:38,863 --> 01:45:42,583
We list estimated number needed as placeholders.

1126
01:45:43,703 --> 01:45:48,203
We have had years where zero teachers are on emergency or interim.

1127
01:45:48,203 --> 01:46:03,203
Again, this is a safeguard and an approval that ensures if we do need to fill a vacant position with one of these types of emergency permits that we've already received authorization from the governing board.

1128
01:46:04,223 --> 01:46:09,223
It's a fairly administrative item. Any questions for a familiar before we ask for motions?

1129
01:46:09,763 --> 01:46:11,663
And if we give motion please.

1130
01:46:12,283 --> 01:46:13,383
I just have a question.

1131
01:46:14,103 --> 01:46:18,603
So we're with the four by four because we're offering more expanded classes.

1132
01:46:18,983 --> 01:46:24,003
We have the number of teachers to teach those expanded classes, correct?

1133
01:46:24,163 --> 01:46:24,603
Correct.

1134
01:46:37,623 --> 01:46:38,583
You need to do it down there.

1135
01:46:40,263 --> 01:46:40,603
All right.

1136
01:46:40,803 --> 01:46:42,403
I have a move and a move.

1137
01:46:42,543 --> 01:46:44,783
And second day, the call for a vote, please,

1138
01:46:44,943 --> 01:46:45,743
Mr. Galcott.

1139
01:46:55,043 --> 01:46:56,683
And the motion also passed unanimously.

1140
01:46:58,403 --> 01:46:59,763
Is that a administrative item done?

1141
01:47:00,434 --> 01:47:07,014
5.6, the knowledge receipt of California, or CSEA, chapter 386, initial proposal for negotiations.

1142
01:47:07,814 --> 01:47:12,574
The CUSB selected bargaining agreement, openers for the next school year.

1143
01:47:12,734 --> 01:47:15,974
You can take a mule, or Sir Salamata, who's got this one.

1144
01:47:16,274 --> 01:47:24,794
Thank you, President Pantes. I know the governing board is an opportunity to review the Sunshine Articles from CSEA.

1145
01:47:24,794 --> 01:47:28,974
Director of Human Resources, Mr. Mando Fareas.

1146
01:47:29,034 --> 01:47:33,714
It is his birthday today and for his birthday, he's here to answer any questions you may have on this agenda.

1147
01:47:34,074 --> 01:47:36,194
Thank you. It's nice to be 35 again.

1148
01:47:37,594 --> 01:47:38,574
Good afternoon everyone.

1149
01:47:39,054 --> 01:47:40,794
CSEA Sunshine, they're articles.

1150
01:47:41,294 --> 01:47:44,114
As for the CBA, they can sunshine 3.

1151
01:47:44,834 --> 01:47:48,294
They decided to sunshine hours and over time, article 6,

1152
01:47:48,754 --> 01:47:52,794
article 9, salary, and article 10, leaves.

1153
01:47:52,794 --> 01:47:57,634
And we will be sun shining our articles of the next fourth meeting.

1154
01:47:59,174 --> 01:48:01,334
Do you have any questions for me?

1155
01:48:01,634 --> 01:48:02,294
Very standard.

1156
01:48:02,734 --> 01:48:03,134
Any questions?

1157
01:48:04,074 --> 01:48:04,114
All right.

1158
01:48:04,414 --> 01:48:04,954
Thank you.

1159
01:48:05,654 --> 01:48:06,174
Birthday, boy.

1160
01:48:06,594 --> 01:48:07,174
Thank you very much.

1161
01:48:09,774 --> 01:48:10,094
All right.

1162
01:48:10,714 --> 01:48:15,874
A motion man, a second please for item 5.6, off of the boat.

1163
01:48:28,264 --> 01:48:32,504
And that motion also passes unanimously for those items are sunshine.

1164
01:48:33,604 --> 01:48:41,544
That brings us to reports and the will of the board we probably should take a 10 minute

1165
01:48:41,544 --> 01:48:42,804
break here.

1166
01:48:43,004 --> 01:48:47,864
We will adjourn and reassemble at 6 o'clock to continue with the reports.

1167
01:48:51,286 --> 01:49:02,926
I'm meeting back in order. And we are item 6.1 that's learning department reports, Superintendent Mueller, turn it back over to you, and Dr. Battle I believe.

1168
01:49:03,306 --> 01:49:10,446
Yes, thank you, Captain Pantes. As I shared earlier, Dr. Battle is carving a path through here.

1169
01:49:12,126 --> 01:49:19,366
I know our trustees have had an opportunity and the community is at access to report 6.1. Dr. Battle is here to answer any questions.

1170
01:49:19,366 --> 01:49:22,426
the governing board may have on this agenda item.

1171
01:49:29,926 --> 01:49:35,806
Updates, one was reopening which is consistent with the recent newsletter, the Superintendent

1172
01:49:35,806 --> 01:49:38,746
Mueller sent out relative to the fall.

1173
01:49:39,846 --> 01:49:46,946
There was an update requested for just a broader description of what the happy minute

1174
01:49:46,946 --> 01:49:48,606
program is at the village.

1175
01:49:48,606 --> 01:49:56,206
I did want to inform the board and really send gratitude to two mitosis for the extra

1176
01:49:56,206 --> 01:49:58,546
hours that they put in in evenings and weekends.

1177
01:49:59,646 --> 01:50:05,066
We were happy to submit on May 7th another do-dea application.

1178
01:50:05,906 --> 01:50:11,426
This one is a little over $2 million specific to World Language Programs, so I did include

1179
01:50:11,426 --> 01:50:16,646
a report with the goals where and what was entailed in that application.

1180
01:50:16,646 --> 01:50:21,226
So, right now we have two pending applications for those grants.

1181
01:50:22,826 --> 01:50:26,426
We should find out in August or September for those two.

1182
01:50:26,746 --> 01:50:28,766
So, that's very exciting work.

1183
01:50:29,906 --> 01:50:36,826
And then the last update was highlighting what our next steps were with the high school staff

1184
01:50:36,826 --> 01:50:43,406
for professional learning, relative to the transition to the new schedule.

1185
01:50:49,036 --> 01:51:01,256
With, I will point out some additional details for the professional learning, so staff was presented with a voice in choice menu to meet the unique needs that each staff member has.

1186
01:51:02,196 --> 01:51:12,296
At a staff meeting they were presented with this menu and then they by department and by individual within each department populated a Google doc.

1187
01:51:12,296 --> 01:51:21,796
Based on what specifically do they need as an individual to successfully transition and be ready in August when our students come back from summer.

1188
01:51:23,516 --> 01:51:35,256
We have taken that information and my department, my two mitosis as well as CHS administration are scheduling and we actually had two meetings yesterday.

1189
01:51:35,956 --> 01:51:39,716
individual department meetings with each department, so there's nine departments.

1190
01:51:40,676 --> 01:51:44,376
Yesterday we met with the science team on campus and then we did a Zoom meeting

1191
01:51:44,376 --> 01:51:48,756
with the art instructors just to make sure we are all in the same page with what

1192
01:51:48,756 --> 01:51:53,936
exactly they need and prioritize what that'll look like for them. The overwhelming

1193
01:51:53,936 --> 01:52:00,016
theme is time and so we are compensating our teachers planning time to meet

1194
01:52:00,016 --> 01:52:08,076
specific need as well. As well as facilitating visits. So our P department, they just

1195
01:52:08,076 --> 01:52:11,996
they want to go hang out with a P team at a school for a day and then be able to ask

1196
01:52:11,996 --> 01:52:18,116
them questions. So helping facilitate those visits, whether some departments want to try

1197
01:52:18,116 --> 01:52:23,956
to do it now. Some said, no, I'd rather do it in the fall. Like, I'd rather start it and then

1198
01:52:23,956 --> 01:52:29,536
I'll probably know more questions I have and make better use of my time. So we're individually

1199
01:52:29,536 --> 01:52:35,356
working with them to mount about a PD plan that it's not a one-and-done. It'll be

1200
01:52:35,356 --> 01:52:39,716
throughout next school year and refinement the next school year as the graphic

1201
01:52:39,716 --> 01:52:45,236
indicates and then more the next year it takes a few years to really adjust

1202
01:52:45,236 --> 01:52:50,936
everything as you know some educators in this room know the university or teacher

1203
01:52:50,936 --> 01:52:55,136
right refining your craft takes a few years.

1204
01:52:57,636 --> 01:52:58,956
Questions for Dr. Battle?

1205
01:53:00,136 --> 01:53:07,816
I really appreciate that and hearing the the needs of the teachers. What about helping the students transition to the four by four?

1206
01:53:07,916 --> 01:53:13,356
We heard a lot of apprehension from students and maybe this is more student services, but I know there's a lot of overlap.

1207
01:53:13,956 --> 01:53:21,036
But what structures are we putting in place and really to help them embrace and succeed in the four by four?

1208
01:53:21,036 --> 01:53:24,936
So, a lot of it will come from the qualitative feedback.

1209
01:53:25,796 --> 01:53:31,356
Once we start, our plan is to gather that feedback from students,

1210
01:53:33,196 --> 01:53:36,196
from teachers, with their reporting, their students are saying in class,

1211
01:53:36,616 --> 01:53:39,536
where the struggles are, where the challenges are,

1212
01:53:39,536 --> 01:53:44,376
and monitor that throughout the school year, the same with our teachers.

1213
01:53:45,676 --> 01:53:49,016
Our counselors have been meeting individually with students for the schedule,

1214
01:53:49,016 --> 01:53:55,656
a lot of questions I know have preliminarily been answered but until they get into this schedule,

1215
01:53:56,476 --> 01:54:01,236
we know that more questions and challenges might surface that we'll be able to then gather that

1216
01:54:01,236 --> 01:54:08,106
information and make sure that they're feeling supported in this. Some of that comes with

1217
01:54:09,336 --> 01:54:16,116
that work-life balance, how am I going to manage these courses? I'm taking and getting strategic

1218
01:54:16,116 --> 01:54:22,016
with individualized scheduling, so they're not piling on, you know, four APs in one term or

1219
01:54:22,936 --> 01:54:27,596
things like that, or if they do sports or Kosa adjusting their individual schedules,

1220
01:54:27,716 --> 01:54:29,416
so they have that balance.

1221
01:54:32,866 --> 01:54:36,186
So this is more of a question from Carl, because he taught in a four

1222
01:54:36,186 --> 01:54:42,046
by four correct? I did not, I was an administrator for high school. So I was an administrator,

1223
01:54:42,226 --> 01:54:47,206
what challenges did you see that the students having and how did you as a administrator

1224
01:54:47,206 --> 01:54:51,426
guide the students and the teachers through those challenges, having experienced with the

1225
01:54:51,426 --> 01:54:56,906
four by four. That's a great question, Trustee, because I really believe strongly that

1226
01:54:56,906 --> 01:55:03,346
that relationship within a four by four exists between the counselor and the student. Students

1227
01:55:03,966 --> 01:55:09,226
are afforded opportunities to take balanced course loads in both the fall and the spring term.

1228
01:55:10,226 --> 01:55:16,166
So some examples that I can share of a student feels that he or she possesses strength in

1229
01:55:16,166 --> 01:55:22,586
the humanities. They may elect to separate their humanities and take an English class in the fall

1230
01:55:22,586 --> 01:55:29,826
in a world history class in the spring to balance out those areas of focus. They may want to

1231
01:55:29,826 --> 01:55:35,726
take an elective with their most problematic subject area. So if a student struggles in chemistry,

1232
01:55:36,506 --> 01:55:42,926
they may elect to take an off-schedule period that term or an elective that they're passionate about

1233
01:55:42,926 --> 01:55:49,606
within the arts. It really is how to balance term one in term two based off of your areas

1234
01:55:49,606 --> 01:55:56,246
of interest and passion. But again, this type of schedule for numerous opportunities for students

1235
01:55:56,246 --> 01:56:01,886
to pursue those passions in a much deeper level. So the student will sit down with his or

1236
01:56:01,886 --> 01:56:06,826
her counselor and develop their course of study and be very intentional with what they schedule

1237
01:56:06,826 --> 01:56:11,086
and how they schedule for the fall and the spring term to create that balance.

1238
01:56:12,846 --> 01:56:14,766
Thank you.

1239
01:56:17,206 --> 01:56:21,266
I had a follow-up to that. The at one point.

1240
01:56:21,286 --> 01:56:37,546
There was mention that perhaps we could have an advisory or study skills for all students, as part of the four by four, will that be able to be offered next year, in terms of, I naively perhaps view that as a possible way to help support this transition.

1241
01:56:38,546 --> 01:56:49,366
So advisory is something that the high school is interested in implementing at some point in time. It is not on our schedule for, for next school year.

1242
01:56:50,126 --> 01:56:54,886
It's part of our negotiations contract as well that we have with our union.

1243
01:56:55,286 --> 01:57:03,246
We can offer it, but we are planned for year one, just like any school year, but especially around

1244
01:57:03,246 --> 01:57:08,666
this schedule is to gather data throughout the school year to see what refinement we need.

1245
01:57:09,046 --> 01:57:14,086
We know advisory is in its third year of implementation of the middle school, and it's probably

1246
01:57:14,086 --> 01:57:20,046
had its most successful year despite being in COVID because they now have a repository of lessons

1247
01:57:20,726 --> 01:57:25,106
and a great program thriveally that really helps our students with their social

1248
01:57:25,106 --> 01:57:30,226
emotional learning and interest. So it is something the high school that came out of the

1249
01:57:30,226 --> 01:57:36,526
Bell Schedule study was advisory. We know other models in the county for my fours do

1250
01:57:36,526 --> 01:57:43,286
have advisories, so they wanted to further explore that until it was implemented in it.

1251
01:57:44,226 --> 01:57:50,806
Next year we'll be that exploration year for for that. We know we have to change to an 830 start time the following year

1252
01:57:51,526 --> 01:57:57,826
so that that's been mandated and if we're gonna make more changes that might be the the optimum time to

1253
01:57:57,826 --> 01:58:00,466
To do something like that, but you're right. It does offer that additional

1254
01:58:00,466 --> 01:58:02,606
Kind of check in with the students

1255
01:58:02,606 --> 01:58:07,146
There's a lot of data supporting that kind of time built into a schedule

1256
01:58:10,826 --> 01:58:13,586
Any other questions should Dr. Badliner report?

1257
01:58:15,636 --> 01:58:21,176
Thank you Dr. Battle. And just as Dr. Battle is heading back, I would like to remind

1258
01:58:21,676 --> 01:58:28,376
staff that part of this professional learning plan includes opportunities to solicit feedback from shareholders that includes students.

1259
01:58:28,836 --> 01:58:36,556
So if our students let us know additional resources or supports would really enhance their

1260
01:58:36,556 --> 01:58:42,276
experience within a four by four. We're certainly interested in in listening and and making adjustments.

1261
01:58:42,276 --> 01:58:50,856
I'd also like to point out at states on here, use of 2021 prep periods for preparing for next year.

1262
01:58:51,276 --> 01:58:53,716
I do want to acknowledge as I did at the beginning of the meeting.

1263
01:58:54,636 --> 01:59:01,256
Our teachers, TK-12, are really focusing on meaningful assessments and finalizing how

1264
01:59:01,256 --> 01:59:06,396
the student performance has been this year during bridge, during hybrid instruction.

1265
01:59:06,396 --> 01:59:14,296
And so I know that our teachers at CHS are using their current prep time to finalize assessments, final exams, et cetera.

1266
01:59:14,816 --> 01:59:28,556
And I applaud the efforts of the learning department, working in collaboration with those departments and those department chairs to see where we can create time and opportunities for professional development outside of their current prep time.

1267
01:59:29,056 --> 01:59:30,136
So thank you, Dr. Battle.

1268
01:59:32,656 --> 01:59:33,036
All right.

1269
01:59:33,036 --> 01:59:33,716
Yeah.

1270
01:59:33,736 --> 01:59:39,916
Item 6.2 is a pre-school annual pre-school and child care report, Ms. Lanzo.

1271
01:59:40,596 --> 01:59:45,996
Thank you, Captain Pontus. I'd like to introduce our director of pre-school and child care, Ms. Lanzo.

1272
01:59:48,036 --> 01:59:54,616
Hello, and good evening, Board of Trustees, and Superintendent of Caromular. Thank you so much for your time.

1273
01:59:54,896 --> 02:00:01,536
It's always a pleasure for me to come and present to you our pre-school report or annual report.

1274
02:00:02,236 --> 02:00:12,616
And here we go. Thank you so much, Tammy. So just to kind of start off our presentation, I will go over what for not a unified offer. Just some basic background on the program.

1275
02:00:13,596 --> 02:00:17,536
We have expanded the program over the past four years since I've been here.

1276
02:00:17,536 --> 02:00:23,676
Coronado unified can now enroll up to 144 families across both sites between ECDC Crown

1277
02:00:23,676 --> 02:00:30,796
preschool and Silver Strand State preschool. Our programs are three hours in length per day.

1278
02:00:31,296 --> 02:00:37,116
Coronado's Crown preschool actually offers a little bit of an extension to that day and I'll explain

1279
02:00:37,116 --> 02:00:42,816
that on the next slide. All of our teachers do have bachelor's degrees in early childhood education

1280
02:00:42,816 --> 02:00:50,356
And our supporting staff along with the teachers also maintain California development teaching permits,

1281
02:00:50,636 --> 02:00:56,816
which is somewhat of equivalent to a credential but not exactly because of the world of early education,

1282
02:00:57,636 --> 02:01:01,356
our parameters are just a little bit different, but it is good to know that they have that background.

1283
02:01:03,196 --> 02:01:07,096
So, Crown Pre-School, that Crown Pre-School alone, which is located at our ECVC campus,

1284
02:01:07,096 --> 02:01:14,096
can hold up to 60, I'm sorry, 96 students per year, it is our location that currently offers

1285
02:01:14,096 --> 02:01:17,016
our preschool inclusion program, we're very proud of that.

1286
02:01:17,776 --> 02:01:23,496
We now offer both subsidized and private tuition care, formerly it was just private-based,

1287
02:01:23,576 --> 02:01:27,496
but now we would do the expansion and are able to offer subsidized care.

1288
02:01:28,096 --> 02:01:33,256
And this year we definitely had an increase at Crown, so it was really proud to be able to

1289
02:01:33,256 --> 02:01:35,956
offer that to some of our families through this pandemic.

1290
02:01:36,636 --> 02:01:43,776
In addition to that, Crown Preschool also offers extended care hours, and those are for our families that are working longer than need longer care.

1291
02:01:44,536 --> 02:01:47,856
And Crown Preschool also is hosts our ESY every year.

1292
02:01:47,956 --> 02:01:52,456
And we're very excited to host that in addition to CLSD sites this year.

1293
02:01:52,936 --> 02:01:54,456
So that will be happening next month.

1294
02:01:54,736 --> 02:01:58,236
And at the very top, on the other, back, that those are our two preschool teachers.

1295
02:01:58,516 --> 02:02:02,936
On this, I mean, she's been, uh, our longest preschool teacher in the Court of Unified School District.

1296
02:02:02,936 --> 02:02:08,396
and then Ms. Zulia, a new year, as is a new or preschool teacher who joined our team over the past couple of years.

1297
02:02:09,796 --> 02:02:15,916
Very exciting for us to announce and recognize tonight, one of our preschool teachers, Ms. Feileen,

1298
02:02:16,196 --> 02:02:20,836
is going to be recognized as Coronado Unified School Districts 2021,

1299
02:02:20,836 --> 02:02:28,436
recipient of South County special education local planning agency award also known

1300
02:02:28,436 --> 02:02:34,916
as Selpa for recognizing her as a distinguished educator and she was nominated

1301
02:02:34,916 --> 02:02:41,156
alongside other Coronado unified teachers this year and she was selected and she

1302
02:02:41,156 --> 02:02:46,536
was selected for the efforts and dedication that she has to our inclusion program

1303
02:02:46,536 --> 02:02:49,716
and having been one of our longest teachers,

1304
02:02:49,756 --> 02:02:52,336
preschool, early education teachers in this district.

1305
02:02:52,796 --> 02:02:55,856
She's contributed greatly to the students and families

1306
02:02:55,856 --> 02:02:57,276
over the past 20 years.

1307
02:02:57,716 --> 02:03:00,056
And she will be honored this month.

1308
02:03:00,436 --> 02:03:02,256
Next week, actually, it was self,

1309
02:03:02,436 --> 02:03:04,596
self, but we'll be having a virtual art show.

1310
02:03:04,976 --> 02:03:08,696
And she was even able to submit some of our students

1311
02:03:08,696 --> 02:03:10,676
artworks that are a special student,

1312
02:03:10,796 --> 02:03:11,676
so that was really exciting.

1313
02:03:11,756 --> 02:03:13,656
So we'll see that next week.

1314
02:03:14,916 --> 02:03:19,856
Our other school location, this is our other teacher, her name is Ms. Luke Lookaburguin.

1315
02:03:20,616 --> 02:03:23,936
She has up to 48 students, that's one of the sites that we expanded.

1316
02:03:25,156 --> 02:03:29,376
And over there, it is a subsidized omissite and that is based on needs.

1317
02:03:29,676 --> 02:03:36,336
And I'm always looking year to year to see how the needs change and for now, as I take

1318
02:03:36,336 --> 02:03:40,836
the pulse of the community, we are strong with having a subsidized site.

1319
02:03:40,836 --> 02:03:43,796
most of the families, the 90%

1320
02:03:43,796 --> 02:03:45,956
and greater armulatory families,

1321
02:03:46,396 --> 02:03:47,916
and they're able to qualify for that service.

1322
02:03:48,096 --> 02:03:48,836
So that's great.

1323
02:03:50,456 --> 02:03:51,456
We are very proud.

1324
02:03:51,816 --> 02:03:54,476
And a big highlight of our program is our grant

1325
02:03:54,476 --> 02:03:56,636
that we've had with the San Diego County Office of Ed

1326
02:03:56,636 --> 02:03:58,256
and I'm going on six years now.

1327
02:03:58,736 --> 02:04:00,976
And the grant is known as

1328
02:04:00,976 --> 02:04:03,456
Quality Preschool Initiative in San Diego.

1329
02:04:04,136 --> 02:04:06,976
And it's an improvement program to enhance

1330
02:04:06,976 --> 02:04:09,036
the supports that we're delivering for our

1331
02:04:09,036 --> 02:04:13,016
it's learners or young learners so we're getting them ready for their next

1332
02:04:13,016 --> 02:04:17,856
journey into kindergarten and even beyond that. In the program they focus on

1333
02:04:17,856 --> 02:04:21,436
really looking at the whole child's development and that's inclusive of

1334
02:04:21,436 --> 02:04:26,996
supporting families and students not just their education goals but also their

1335
02:04:26,996 --> 02:04:32,216
health and overall well-being. The grant also lends to a lot of professional

1336
02:04:32,216 --> 02:04:36,616
development for our teachers so they can stay current and current practices. They

1337
02:04:36,616 --> 02:04:48,016
attend a minimum of 20 hours a year, if not more. They also, the grant also allows for us to invite individuals from the community that can present to our parents as well.

1338
02:04:48,436 --> 02:04:57,936
And start teaching parents from the beginning, how to get involved with their children's education, and also different resources that can help them with their child's younger development.

1339
02:04:57,936 --> 02:05:04,396
They also provide some partial funding that goes to enhance the classroom environment

1340
02:05:04,396 --> 02:05:11,036
so use for materials and then through this grant we also receive a tier rating and that's

1341
02:05:11,036 --> 02:05:14,596
a rating that's recognized by the State of California, the California Department of Education

1342
02:05:14,596 --> 02:05:15,636
and also the public.

1343
02:05:16,496 --> 02:05:24,216
We receive a four out of five in our current agency rating and see you next slide.

1344
02:05:24,676 --> 02:05:25,556
Thank you Ms. Cammy.

1345
02:05:25,556 --> 02:05:40,436
So one of the other resources that we're able to deliver with Sandy Group QPI is they have a relationship in a contract with a UCSD-strily eye center and the eye center actually has a mobile doctor's office for students.

1346
02:05:40,996 --> 02:05:51,996
So what happens is once a year through this grant, I'm able to at a relatively low cost in using the funding from the grant to provide our students with hearing and vision at the youngest age.

1347
02:05:51,996 --> 02:05:55,996
And it's pediatric screenings, and it's just an incredible resource.

1348
02:05:56,576 --> 02:06:03,916
A year after year, we screen all of our families, and we usually always find a minimum of two or three students that are identified as actually needing classes.

1349
02:06:04,836 --> 02:06:08,276
And they're even provided through this resource.

1350
02:06:08,376 --> 02:06:10,116
So families do not have to pay for anything.

1351
02:06:10,196 --> 02:06:11,576
This is at no cost to them.

1352
02:06:11,696 --> 02:06:15,396
So I'll provide it at a very relatively low cost through the grant.

1353
02:06:15,396 --> 02:06:25,836
And when students do receive glasses, it gets no cost to them and they are even provided with the replacement pair for in the events of a break or to get lost.

1354
02:06:26,176 --> 02:06:34,236
So families really appreciate the service and a lot of times for our youngest learners, they don't have the words to say, they can't see the screen.

1355
02:06:34,476 --> 02:06:44,316
They don't have the experience or knowledge to know when they can't see or hear, but it's just understanding their development as a whole child and being able to make sure that we're bridging that development.

1356
02:06:44,316 --> 02:06:52,956
even sometimes got for them at this young age, so that we're getting them prepared as best we can as they move through their developmental stages and onto kindergarten.

1357
02:06:55,136 --> 02:07:02,816
Another very exciting announcement that we can share this year is our adoption of a brand new curriculum in our preschool program.

1358
02:07:03,736 --> 02:07:20,416
And my self along with our director of learning, Dr. Gato, and a pre-school member from our team looked at various curriculums and found and selected the one that we felt was most suitable for our students and our community needs.

1359
02:07:20,816 --> 02:07:33,556
And that is known as creative curriculum. Creative curriculum has been, and in the pre-school field for quite some time, there's a lot of research behind it and many agencies have been using it for before.

1360
02:07:33,556 --> 02:07:36,916
that there are as many abundant of curriculum as there are now.

1361
02:07:37,396 --> 02:07:39,436
But one of the reasons we like to create a curriculum

1362
02:07:39,436 --> 02:07:41,636
is that it's a comprehensive approach,

1363
02:07:41,636 --> 02:07:44,236
so that it's not just focusing on academics,

1364
02:07:44,576 --> 02:07:48,916
but it's also focusing on social emotional supports, as well.

1365
02:07:49,516 --> 02:07:53,616
And so just in a snip, again, it really promotes exploring

1366
02:07:53,616 --> 02:07:56,276
and discovering the learning through the environment

1367
02:07:56,276 --> 02:07:57,056
in the classroom.

1368
02:07:57,516 --> 02:07:59,556
It enables children to develop confidence

1369
02:07:59,556 --> 02:08:01,656
at these young ages and be creative.

1370
02:08:01,656 --> 02:08:10,616
And again, always underlining that it's lifelong critical thinking skills, lifelong skills that go beyond just during the preschool age.

1371
02:08:11,496 --> 02:08:13,636
So yeah, so we're very excited about that.

1372
02:08:13,876 --> 02:08:22,316
And one thing that I, in addition, I would like to share is that our program was actually gifted with a donation once we selected the curriculum.

1373
02:08:22,316 --> 02:08:29,716
And the former co-author and CEO of Creative Crickulum actually recently relocated to

1374
02:08:29,716 --> 02:08:32,816
Coronado Island and her name is Kaylee Burke.

1375
02:08:33,696 --> 02:08:38,916
And Kaylee, when she discovered that we were seeking to implement the curriculum, she decided

1376
02:08:38,916 --> 02:08:45,396
to donate some of money for our program, so that our teaching staff would be able to receive

1377
02:08:45,396 --> 02:08:46,996
firsthand professional development.

1378
02:08:47,376 --> 02:08:50,356
And professionals development sometimes can be very costly.

1379
02:08:50,356 --> 02:09:00,016
So we are cells were looking at maybe offering a day or two, however with her donation to our program we will be able to receive a total of five

1380
02:09:00,516 --> 02:09:07,816
trainings and so far we have received four of those six hour trainings and so we've been continuing to

1381
02:09:07,816 --> 02:09:08,916
learn professionally

1382
02:09:08,916 --> 02:09:14,476
even during the pandemic so that's been really great and we're very thankful for

1383
02:09:14,476 --> 02:09:20,636
miss work for her donation and support. She unfortunately was not able to join us this evening.

1384
02:09:21,236 --> 02:09:25,596
I wanted to take a moment to recognize her contribution.

1385
02:09:28,706 --> 02:09:33,106
And here's some samples of some of the work that are reproduced from creative curriculum.

1386
02:09:33,386 --> 02:09:41,286
A lot of the themes and topics are real life experiences that children live in that they see in the world around them.

1387
02:09:41,286 --> 02:09:47,486
this one for example was on recycling. So really teaching children and really diving deeper into

1388
02:09:47,486 --> 02:09:52,046
what it means for some of these basic concepts that are introduced in their life and this one is

1389
02:09:52,306 --> 02:09:53,646
recycled and reuse.

1390
02:09:56,966 --> 02:10:02,486
Overall I'd like to just finish by closing with what our program findings are for

1391
02:10:02,486 --> 02:10:09,706
this school year of 2021. And so I'll start that conversation by just giving a snippet of what we've

1392
02:10:09,706 --> 02:10:14,106
been doing for distance learning and bridge because our instruction has continued

1393
02:10:14,106 --> 02:10:20,366
alongside with RTK-12 and we always strive in preschool and early education to try

1394
02:10:20,366 --> 02:10:26,286
to deliver and quality education as children will receive at any grade in our

1395
02:10:26,286 --> 02:10:31,486
district. So our preschool teachers this year were able to get not just creative

1396
02:10:31,486 --> 02:10:38,446
but also use the new supports of our curriculum to offer an online program to our

1397
02:10:38,446 --> 02:10:43,826
families every day when we were closed and then when we were opened we switched back to

1398
02:10:43,826 --> 02:10:48,986
in person. But every day our families would receive enough material that would be

1399
02:10:48,986 --> 02:10:54,726
equivalent to a three hour day span. The actual online time or screen time that we

1400
02:10:54,726 --> 02:11:00,826
were very cautious with, especially at early ages, were at length 30 to 60 minutes

1401
02:11:00,826 --> 02:11:04,606
depending on the age of the child, the children that were on longer were our older students.

1402
02:11:04,606 --> 02:11:11,426
but we were very careful in offering breaks in between the session and keeping them very

1403
02:11:11,426 --> 02:11:17,086
engaging and we had many compliments from our bridge program that families would share that

1404
02:11:17,086 --> 02:11:22,566
that's actually sometimes they're most exciting as short but distance learning experience for

1405
02:11:22,566 --> 02:11:27,646
the day because we definitely had to do our best to keep them entertained and engaged.

1406
02:11:28,206 --> 02:11:33,126
So families were provided with and continue to receive weekly lesson plans from our teachers

1407
02:11:33,126 --> 02:11:37,486
And then in those lesson plans, it has the learning activities that we've conducted in the classroom,

1408
02:11:37,666 --> 02:11:39,746
or the families would be able to carry on at home.

1409
02:11:40,126 --> 02:11:44,686
If for any reason their child may be is at home for quarantine, or if they're sick,

1410
02:11:44,946 --> 02:11:46,446
they have the activities every day.

1411
02:11:47,106 --> 02:11:52,226
And our preschool assistance is well, also participated in this rollout.

1412
02:11:52,846 --> 02:11:57,466
And a lot of their help was to assemble our distance learning materials,

1413
02:11:57,686 --> 02:12:00,606
because we also disperse those to our families throughout the school year.

1414
02:12:01,956 --> 02:12:09,416
So our program in order to evaluate it every year, there are three main tools or components

1415
02:12:09,416 --> 02:12:11,976
that we use to assess the preschool program.

1416
02:12:12,436 --> 02:12:17,836
One of them does involve the classroom environment that the children are in or students

1417
02:12:17,836 --> 02:12:18,276
are in.

1418
02:12:18,356 --> 02:12:21,256
In addition, is student data and then family feedback.

1419
02:12:21,856 --> 02:12:25,936
But just to point out with our anchors, which is referred to as anchors early childhood

1420
02:12:25,936 --> 02:12:33,236
environmental rating scale. This year our guidance in order to use the tool. There are

1421
02:12:33,236 --> 02:12:40,856
41 measures and typical observation can be anywhere from 3 to 6 hours depending on the

1422
02:12:40,856 --> 02:12:46,716
length of the program. I was able to conduct minimal errors. They were reduced because I wasn't

1423
02:12:46,716 --> 02:12:52,576
able to be in the classrooms as long as I normally would be to conduct them. But I was able

1424
02:12:52,576 --> 02:12:59,196
to measure in various areas and under that scale, which include health, health, and hygiene,

1425
02:13:00,036 --> 02:13:07,936
safety, teachers, student interaction, and of the areas I found that the three areas

1426
02:13:07,936 --> 02:13:14,076
that we will continue to work on as of now and going into next school year that we're identified

1427
02:13:14,076 --> 02:13:20,236
using this tool, or our staff's use of encouraging children to communicate, using language

1428
02:13:20,236 --> 02:13:24,736
to develop their reasoning skills, and also using informal use of language.

1429
02:13:24,956 --> 02:13:30,076
So those are three areas that we will look at and try to build upon for next year

1430
02:13:30,076 --> 02:13:33,416
and hope that when I do this report, we'll see improvement in those areas.

1431
02:13:34,996 --> 02:13:39,796
The other tool that we use to collect student data is known as desired results development

1432
02:13:39,796 --> 02:13:42,996
to profile also referred to as DRDPs.

1433
02:13:43,056 --> 02:13:48,096
And we were able to see some improvement despite some of the challenges of the pandemic

1434
02:13:48,096 --> 02:13:52,136
since it started toward the end of last year and then spilled over into this year.

1435
02:13:52,636 --> 02:13:56,336
But we did have some improvement in the three following areas,

1436
02:13:56,696 --> 02:14:00,416
social and emotional growth, which is important, especially during this time,

1437
02:14:00,696 --> 02:14:03,156
language and literacy and cognition in math.

1438
02:14:03,316 --> 02:14:08,836
So those are some areas that we saw strengths in in regards to the student data collective.

1439
02:14:09,636 --> 02:14:13,416
And then the other tool that we look at every year is we invite families

1440
02:14:13,416 --> 02:14:17,716
to have an opportunity to survey the program that they're in and to provide feedback.

1441
02:14:17,716 --> 02:14:33,716
And some of the insight they provided from this year is they would like to know a little bit more information about the teaching staff and their experience, so I will make sure that when I deliver the program in the new year that I highlight more of that information for them. Also they would want it to seem more apparent.

1442
02:14:33,736 --> 02:14:43,996
But unfortunately this year, we were not able to have as much parent involvement because we weren't able to have visitors and families on campus. So we're hoping that next year.

1443
02:14:44,016 --> 02:14:52,076
That will change. But some of the more positive feedbacks are displayed on the screen. So it's always nice to hear when we're doing good things and good work.

1444
02:14:53,436 --> 02:14:59,796
And I will conclude a report which is very brief overall of finances just in case I do

1445
02:14:59,796 --> 02:15:06,776
know that preschool is not funded in the same way that the K-12 often is and how do we

1446
02:15:06,776 --> 02:15:12,356
get the money to do all of this wonderful work? So a large part of our funding is now supported

1447
02:15:12,356 --> 02:15:18,816
by the California Department of Ed. They do provide a big portion of our day-to-day operational

1448
02:15:18,816 --> 02:15:24,276
costs and then in addition to that we may get up with our private paying tuition families.

1449
02:15:25,156 --> 02:15:30,896
CDE is well because we do have a contract with them. Because of the pandemic, they are

1450
02:15:30,896 --> 02:15:37,136
fully reimbursing for our potentially 72 students we can serve under that contract. Normally

1451
02:15:37,136 --> 02:15:42,116
the reimbursement is based solely on enrollment and attendance, but this year they are holding

1452
02:15:42,116 --> 02:15:47,176
us harmless and reimbursing the full amount. In addition, they are also providing stipends

1453
02:15:47,176 --> 02:15:50,636
on top of that amount, which is really great support for us this year.

1454
02:15:51,296 --> 02:15:56,916
And then in addition to that, I also applied for one grant with the YMCA to try to offset

1455
02:15:56,916 --> 02:16:03,076
some of the loss revenue in the private program this year from families choosing not to participate

1456
02:16:03,076 --> 02:16:05,536
for obvious reasons being in distance learning.

1457
02:16:06,656 --> 02:16:10,896
But we did have quite a few families participate, which was great, but even though we offered

1458
02:16:10,896 --> 02:16:14,216
that, we weren't able to offer it up at the normal rates when we were doing distance learning,

1459
02:16:14,216 --> 02:16:18,496
we cut those rates in half in order to provide them with some education and have them retain

1460
02:16:18,496 --> 02:16:22,956
a spot, but also not to charge them the full amount because they weren't getting the real

1461
02:16:22,956 --> 02:16:29,916
three-hour in-person experience. So all of those really helped and came in handy this year first

1462
02:16:29,916 --> 02:16:36,516
for a program. So that concludes my report. I'm happy to answer any questions that you have.

1463
02:16:38,656 --> 02:16:40,316
Any questions from trustees?

1464
02:16:41,796 --> 02:16:44,796
Okay, thank you. Thank you so much.

1465
02:16:45,236 --> 02:16:47,556
Just say really quick before you run off, Lisa.

1466
02:16:48,556 --> 02:16:50,696
I think you've been with us three years now, is that right?

1467
02:16:50,736 --> 02:16:52,536
Going on, it'll be going on five.

1468
02:16:52,656 --> 02:16:54,936
I'm going on five, including my fourth year.

1469
02:16:55,276 --> 02:16:57,616
All right. Well, I remember when you came.

1470
02:16:57,756 --> 02:16:59,676
Obviously not exactly, but I do remember.

1471
02:17:01,716 --> 02:17:06,416
And there, the things you've done at ECDC and with the preschool program,

1472
02:17:07,236 --> 02:17:12,576
The report that you just gave, you've added so much content and substance to what those kids

1473
02:17:12,576 --> 02:17:13,396
are getting down there.

1474
02:17:14,056 --> 02:17:17,316
So we can't thank you enough for the work that you've done for our kids and our district,

1475
02:17:17,456 --> 02:17:18,316
the younger kids especially.

1476
02:17:19,136 --> 02:17:21,136
So I just want to make sure you knew that.

1477
02:17:21,296 --> 02:17:22,116
Thank you so much.

1478
02:17:22,136 --> 02:17:23,516
I really appreciate that.

1479
02:17:23,956 --> 02:17:24,576
Have a good evening.

1480
02:17:25,556 --> 02:17:26,356
Thank you Lisa.

1481
02:17:29,145 --> 02:17:35,065
That brings us to you 6.3. And thank you all for hanging around.

1482
02:17:37,645 --> 02:17:44,125
It's because it's a little bit longer to get here than we had hoped, but we're at student services update, director of student services.

1483
02:17:44,125 --> 02:17:51,105
Ms. Felida, have some comments, but we'll go ahead and take our yellow cards, so I think

1484
02:17:51,105 --> 02:17:56,065
we'll take our yellow cards first, and then we'll do the recorded versions, because I

1485
02:17:56,065 --> 02:18:00,065
know there's people in sitting on the edge of their seats for way too long.

1486
02:18:02,425 --> 02:18:06,345
All right, the first card that I have, and I'm taking these on the order they were handed to

1487
02:18:06,345 --> 02:18:15,825
me, Monica Pippin-Conder, she has three minutes and she or husband Joseph is with her.

1488
02:18:16,245 --> 02:18:21,025
So he is yielding three minutes to her also if you need them.

1489
02:18:21,145 --> 02:18:22,885
I don't think I need them, but okay.

1490
02:18:23,565 --> 02:18:31,365
All right, so thank you everybody, appreciate it, as a CUSD parent and a member of the Equity

1491
02:18:31,365 --> 02:18:36,825
committee. I'm concerned about the direction that CSD has headed. Education is very important

1492
02:18:36,825 --> 02:18:40,805
to me and it's given me many opportunities in my life that I otherwise would not have

1493
02:18:40,805 --> 02:18:46,905
to had. And I joined the Equity Committee with the goal of helping to find ways to lift

1494
02:18:46,905 --> 02:18:53,265
the educational outcome for all students and all children and reviewing specifically the data for

1495
02:18:53,265 --> 02:19:00,185
usd. So we all know instinctively that the shift from in person learning to zooming has negatively

1496
02:19:00,185 --> 02:19:05,005
impacted, sorry, it's hard to breathe. Many students achievement and increase their feelings

1497
02:19:05,005 --> 02:19:09,945
by solution. And students are falling behind in their suffering. And at a recent school board

1498
02:19:09,945 --> 02:19:15,685
meeting, Trustee Valdez Clayton asked the Equity Committee specifically to focus on the underperforming

1499
02:19:15,685 --> 02:19:20,245
children, especially those who have dropped to the D's and asked during the pandemic. So I've attended

1500
02:19:20,245 --> 02:19:25,665
all of the equity committee meetings over the past seven months and I had yet to witness any effort

1501
02:19:25,665 --> 02:19:30,265
to dig into the student achievement, data, and find creative ways to help support the students,

1502
02:19:31,065 --> 02:19:35,985
that need our help right now. Sadly, instead of looking at helping the children,

1503
02:19:36,165 --> 02:19:42,165
those children, as DCOE, through their leadership of the equity committee, they're hyper-focused

1504
02:19:42,165 --> 02:19:50,145
on identity politics, gender pronouns, implicit bias, microaggressions, and all of the

1505
02:19:50,145 --> 02:19:57,325
isms. Sexism, racism. And so, my question is, do we have a rampant problem at

1506
02:19:57,325 --> 02:20:03,325
CUSD that deserves all this urgent focus above all us right now that is not being dealt

1507
02:20:03,325 --> 02:20:09,305
with appropriately? So, I'd like to see the data and superintendent

1508
02:20:10,185 --> 02:20:18,345
can you point to the data that we're supposed to be looking at and why the community is being pushed

1509
02:20:18,345 --> 02:20:24,685
on this really divisive, SDCOE material that they're presenting every time in the equity committee.

1510
02:20:25,365 --> 02:20:30,685
And it's being pushed down to kids in our school, presumably down to age, down to kindergarten.

1511
02:20:31,525 --> 02:20:38,185
So the public schools don't have the right to mandate their version of the ideal collective social identity

1512
02:20:38,185 --> 02:20:40,805
to our children during academic day.

1513
02:20:41,625 --> 02:20:43,845
It's my duty of right to teach my own children.

1514
02:20:44,525 --> 02:20:46,085
What's important to our family.

1515
02:20:47,105 --> 02:20:49,265
Christian ideals, love of God, love of neighbor.

1516
02:20:49,885 --> 02:20:53,285
Respect for life, goodness, charity, kindness.

1517
02:20:55,525 --> 02:20:57,965
And then further in the Equity Committee meeting last week,

1518
02:20:58,065 --> 02:21:00,965
it was stated that there's going to be an upcoming student survey.

1519
02:21:01,885 --> 02:21:05,445
That will drive what the Equity Committee is going to do for the next year.

1520
02:21:05,445 --> 02:21:09,605
And so, at the last month's Equity Committee meeting, it was stated that they'd like to

1521
02:21:09,605 --> 02:21:13,825
have CSD students take the survey during class time, so students may be led to believe

1522
02:21:13,825 --> 02:21:17,725
the students that the survey is not optional, so that they will be more likely to take

1523
02:21:17,725 --> 02:21:18,245
the survey.

1524
02:21:18,685 --> 02:21:25,685
So that's disturbing to me that I don't know who's drafting the survey, does SDCOE, who is divisive,

1525
02:21:26,305 --> 02:21:31,705
drafting the survey, and what are students being asked, and why, is it trying to be defective

1526
02:21:31,705 --> 02:21:33,605
to the students that it's not optional?

1527
02:21:34,805 --> 02:21:39,585
So it kind of reminds me of the way that the no place for hate initiative is being pitched.

1528
02:21:39,965 --> 02:21:42,345
So it's being touted as a student driven initiative.

1529
02:21:43,165 --> 02:21:46,865
There's held during class time with the principles involvement and all,

1530
02:21:47,165 --> 02:21:51,725
I'm not sure if the students are informed that these activities are optional.

1531
02:21:51,865 --> 02:21:53,425
I'm not even sure if they were optional.

1532
02:21:54,245 --> 02:21:55,985
During the freshman, no place for hate.

1533
02:21:56,285 --> 02:21:59,925
The same time they weren't encouraged to use their gender pronouns and talk about their identities.

1534
02:22:00,905 --> 02:22:05,585
And I don't know why this political program, which it is, has been sanctioned over other programs.

1535
02:22:06,825 --> 02:22:12,245
Can my student lead a conservative club and get equal school time and sanctioned by the principles

1536
02:22:12,925 --> 02:22:14,405
who's driving the bus?

1537
02:22:14,565 --> 02:22:15,585
And is it the school board?

1538
02:22:15,905 --> 02:22:18,045
Is it the students who's driving it?

1539
02:22:18,125 --> 02:22:22,825
So if CUSD wants to survey our kids, so kind of going back to the survey,

1540
02:22:23,365 --> 02:22:27,085
we need to make sure parents are aware about the survey questions will be in advance.

1541
02:22:27,085 --> 02:22:29,925
And we need to know if we have the option of opting out the kids.

1542
02:22:30,965 --> 02:22:35,625
In other school districts that I'm aware of, there were some student surveys that were

1543
02:22:35,625 --> 02:22:40,325
highly inappropriate asking minor students, very invasive questions about their gender identities,

1544
02:22:41,025 --> 02:22:45,345
sexual orientation, the preferences, their religion, their heritage, and so on with very few

1545
02:22:45,345 --> 02:22:47,345
precautions taken for the child's privacy.

1546
02:22:48,245 --> 02:22:52,905
And they also introduce racial consciousness by asking leading questions such as if the kid

1547
02:22:52,905 --> 02:22:56,565
think it's possible to learn from a teacher that does not share their same skin color.

1548
02:22:56,565 --> 02:23:03,985
So, I have not seen personally the proposed survey, but I would ask that we get involved and

1549
02:23:03,985 --> 02:23:08,985
be able to review and approve survey questions, especially if it's intended to drive the policy.

1550
02:23:09,965 --> 02:23:11,925
So, those are my main things.

1551
02:23:11,985 --> 02:23:14,845
I want to see data and help with it.

1552
02:23:15,045 --> 02:23:15,585
Thank you.

1553
02:23:21,825 --> 02:23:22,905
Thank you, Mr. Southern Carter.

1554
02:23:23,565 --> 02:23:28,165
The next card I have on the same topic, I believe, is Jim Sabzek.

1555
02:23:30,895 --> 02:23:31,795
My phone is yours,

1556
02:23:34,065 --> 02:23:34,065
Jim.

1557
02:23:34,065 --> 02:23:44,625
Good evening, trustees, super attended parents. I'm Jim Fabzac. I am a parent to five students that have either currently in the system or have

1558
02:23:44,625 --> 02:23:52,145
Attended corner of schools. I appreciate you all this to listen to contemplate and decide on a myriad of important topics over the number of years that I've been here

1559
02:23:52,605 --> 02:24:02,545
I stand before you today to bring to you attention another very important topic critical theory or C.T. Why if you spend just five minutes watching the national news

1560
02:24:02,545 --> 02:24:07,245
you're cutely where CT is sweeping across the nation. It must be prevented from being

1561
02:24:07,245 --> 02:24:12,625
taught to our children, and we're not unified. Why? A bit of a little history lesson first.

1562
02:24:13,065 --> 02:24:17,365
CT has its roots all the way back to the Age of Enlightenment. Dr. Valkor Mariffs

1563
02:24:17,365 --> 02:24:21,785
and put in the paper on the Communist manifesto. Fundamentally, CT views the world through

1564
02:24:21,785 --> 02:24:26,385
a single lens of power dividing citizens into opposing groups. In its simplest modern

1565
02:24:26,385 --> 02:24:32,085
American form, post-muts of CT mandates, review one and others members of only one of two groups,

1566
02:24:32,085 --> 02:24:33,485
oppressors and oppressed.

1567
02:24:34,425 --> 02:24:37,165
A chosen do not have a choice that the witch group will be a part of.

1568
02:24:37,485 --> 02:24:40,025
No more than they have a choice to pick the color of their skin.

1569
02:24:41,425 --> 02:24:43,545
California, in California, in their own department of education,

1570
02:24:44,345 --> 02:24:47,345
has pushed these Marxist ideas through the fields of gender,

1571
02:24:47,805 --> 02:24:51,645
ethnic and cultural studies, critical race theory, and even math.

1572
02:24:52,065 --> 02:24:52,825
Yes, even math.

1573
02:24:54,125 --> 02:24:56,945
For a January Newsweek article, California's mathematics framework

1574
02:24:56,945 --> 02:24:59,125
called a Pathway to Equivalent Math.

1575
02:24:59,145 --> 02:25:07,705
Law of Instruction, labels teaching practices such as addressing mistakes, and focusing on the right answer as white supremacy culture.

1576
02:25:08,725 --> 02:25:12,545
What does this even mean? This is math. This isn't chosal justice gymnastics.

1577
02:25:13,705 --> 02:25:17,785
There is zero evidence that race-based blame curriculum improves student math achievement.

1578
02:25:19,065 --> 02:25:27,125
So here we are today, a press was in a press, class warfare, a mayor of Chicago, banning all-light reporters from press corps,

1579
02:25:27,125 --> 02:25:30,965
and most important to us parents race-based curriculum in our public schools.

1580
02:25:31,905 --> 02:25:35,585
Well modern-day Marxism will be rebranded for easier parent and student consumption, sure.

1581
02:25:36,325 --> 02:25:42,865
It will be cloaked by ill-defined and perhaps even racist term such as equity, white supremacy culture, and addressing mistakes.

1582
02:25:43,465 --> 02:25:47,265
It will look and sound pleasing, but beneath the unicorns, the parades and the force pledges,

1583
02:25:47,865 --> 02:25:52,465
it will be in the end, it will in the end divide an anger, just like Marxism always has.

1584
02:25:53,385 --> 02:25:58,545
Ask yourself, was the CT, was CT the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King to identify our students

1585
02:25:58,545 --> 02:26:03,885
by the color of their skin, voice the content of their character? We have to know and we have to do better.

1586
02:26:04,925 --> 02:26:10,545
Over 20% of our students in Coronado have left in the last year and the 4 by 4 has left us largely broken and divided.

1587
02:26:11,285 --> 02:26:15,785
The last thing we need now is another superintendent or school board proved reason to divide our community.

1588
02:26:15,785 --> 02:26:20,825
Well, that said, I respectfully request each school board member, as well as SIPRATEM to

1589
02:26:20,825 --> 02:26:21,585
earn your order.

1590
02:26:22,045 --> 02:26:25,905
To go on record, condemning critical theory and out of schools and demonstrate commitment

1591
02:26:25,905 --> 02:26:30,685
to eradicating all forms of CT and taxpayer funded curriculum, as well as the teachers

1592
02:26:30,685 --> 02:26:31,505
supplemental material.

1593
02:26:32,265 --> 02:26:37,185
To that end, we, the parents of Cornado, will be back here each and every month to ensure academic

1594
02:26:37,185 --> 02:26:40,445
excellence, not social experimentation, remains your top priority.

1595
02:26:41,005 --> 02:26:41,345
Thank you.

1596
02:26:49,635 --> 02:26:55,095
Our next show of card is from Debory Gomez Grobe.

1597
02:26:57,395 --> 02:26:58,755
I hope I pronounced it correctly.

1598
02:26:59,575 --> 02:26:59,775
No.

1599
02:27:01,135 --> 02:27:02,575
Go ahead and give it to us then, so.

1600
02:27:02,635 --> 02:27:05,415
I think the equity committee wouldn't be happy with you for that,

1601
02:27:06,475 --> 02:27:08,175
but because you're supposed to get the names right.

1602
02:27:08,175 --> 02:27:08,735
I hope so.

1603
02:27:11,455 --> 02:27:11,895
Okay.

1604
02:27:12,735 --> 02:27:14,315
Good afternoon, Members of the Board.

1605
02:27:14,335 --> 02:27:14,855
Good morning, Board.

1606
02:27:15,015 --> 02:27:16,415
I'm going to have to drop this.

1607
02:27:16,495 --> 02:27:19,155
I'm too old to be free.

1608
02:27:20,695 --> 02:27:23,955
Good afternoon members of the governing board and Superintendent Mueller.

1609
02:27:24,375 --> 02:27:28,755
I have come here this afternoon as a 21 year resident of Coronado and Grand Parent of

1610
02:27:28,755 --> 02:27:33,415
two little girls for whom a decision will soon have to be made regarding their enrollment

1611
02:27:33,415 --> 02:27:37,415
in CUSD schools for their K-12 education.

1612
02:27:38,615 --> 02:27:43,455
I'm terribly concerned about the equity task force, which last August, I tried to plead

1613
02:27:43,455 --> 02:27:48,795
that you do not implement, with no thought, no discussion, no community outreach and a total

1614
02:27:48,795 --> 02:27:53,715
lack of transparency, the $30,000 task force was implemented anyway.

1615
02:27:54,235 --> 02:27:58,795
I've reviewed the PowerPoint presentations from the county office and him dismayed that

1616
02:27:58,795 --> 02:28:04,815
these slides communicate nothing to us parents and community members define no progress

1617
02:28:04,815 --> 02:28:10,695
and reveal no outcomes. Many slides repeat themselves over this session and each session

1618
02:28:10,695 --> 02:28:15,795
cost the district $2,000. Because the reminiscence does not really provide

1619
02:28:15,795 --> 02:28:21,535
concerned community members with an opportunity for discourse and discussion, I'll skip

1620
02:28:21,535 --> 02:28:24,735
many important things and move my answers to some questions.

1621
02:28:25,575 --> 02:28:31,335
One, why was there no discussion with parents in the community through any means, such as perhaps

1622
02:28:31,335 --> 02:28:35,615
town hall meetings or small group meetings before the decision was made to use the county

1623
02:28:35,615 --> 02:28:37,675
offices equity department program?

1624
02:28:37,675 --> 02:28:45,095
2. What specific data were presented and justified the formation of the equity task force?

1625
02:28:46,115 --> 02:28:52,615
3. What are the names and roles of every individual involved in the chain approving the $30,000 contract?

1626
02:28:53,615 --> 02:29:05,175
4. What existing practices in CUSD were examined during year 1 and how was the application of an equity and access lens changed or impacted the decision making?

1627
02:29:05,175 --> 02:29:14,275
5. Where can I obtain a copy of the comprehensive review of CUSD data and how did that inform

1628
02:29:14,275 --> 02:29:18,515
data-driven decisions? What data-driven decisions were identified?

1629
02:29:19,475 --> 02:29:23,055
6. Have all the board members been given a report to answer questions

1630
02:29:23,055 --> 02:29:30,315
number 4 and 5 and will each board member respond to the thinking that they have after reviewing the report?

1631
02:29:30,315 --> 02:29:42,795
7. Has the Board examined the reporting of the entire product of the equity task force and will they use that to determine whether to pay the $15,000 or to spend the next $15,000.

1632
02:29:43,655 --> 02:29:55,875
8. Our instructional minutes used for student participation in the equity task force and are the teachers being paid for their time and participating on the equity task force either during the workday or beyond.

1633
02:29:55,875 --> 02:30:01,655
9. When will the videos of the equity task force be released so that parents and

1634
02:30:01,655 --> 02:30:07,055
corn out of the community can openly see what is being done and how it is being

1635
02:30:07,055 --> 02:30:11,455
done? And lastly, is there a plan in place to address the students who have

1636
02:30:11,455 --> 02:30:18,315
fallen wave far behind because of the 2020 pandemic and what is that plan? So I'm

1637
02:30:18,315 --> 02:30:25,115
running out of time, I see. So I am a retired educator with 32 years experience

1638
02:30:25,115 --> 02:30:31,215
public education and vast experience leading multi-ethnic committees in large city school districts

1639
02:30:31,755 --> 02:30:37,775
during the years of desegregation. I ask you please not to take the precious

1640
02:30:37,775 --> 02:30:45,015
minutes that we have to teach our next generation reading, writing, math, and science in order to

1641
02:30:45,015 --> 02:30:51,515
change hearts, minds, and morals. It doesn't work. It's preposterous. History has shown us that.

1642
02:30:51,515 --> 02:30:57,755
While our kids are in school, let's watch their behavior and respond appropriate.

1643
02:30:58,575 --> 02:31:05,115
Proprietly, let's be vigilant and model the idea that we should treat all people the way we wish to be treated.

1644
02:31:05,575 --> 02:31:14,235
Let's trust in our parents and urge them to teach their children the moral, ethical, and social behaviors we desire to see in everyone.

1645
02:31:14,235 --> 02:31:19,775
I see community discussion and overall transparency, not

1646
02:31:19,775 --> 02:31:28,175
clandestine task forces with very few participants, and we will return, I will return because I want

1647
02:31:28,175 --> 02:31:33,815
to school district that my two precious granddaughters can go to and be confident in that.

1648
02:31:42,945 --> 02:31:44,285
Mr. Brian Flick.

1649
02:31:45,785 --> 02:31:50,825
The board president, I asked that if I go over or I get to, if you can see me the 60 seconds

1650
02:31:50,825 --> 02:31:52,245
Monica had left.

1651
02:31:54,125 --> 02:31:55,105
I'm seeing the halftime.

1652
02:31:55,665 --> 02:31:56,045
So, go ahead.

1653
02:31:56,225 --> 02:31:57,445
Okay, thank you.

1654
02:31:57,565 --> 02:31:59,245
Good evening, Governor and Board and Superintendent.

1655
02:31:59,565 --> 02:32:00,165
I'm Brian Flick.

1656
02:32:00,345 --> 02:32:04,605
A parent of a former village student and one that is considered a turn of my child into the

1657
02:32:04,605 --> 02:32:05,665
Coronado Unified School District.

1658
02:32:05,845 --> 02:32:08,645
I'm here this afternoon because I don't understand the reason behind the no place for

1659
02:32:08,645 --> 02:32:12,345
hate signs on the village campus and I heard they were linked to the equity task force.

1660
02:32:12,885 --> 02:32:15,705
My reaction when I first saw them walking home one evening in mid April was something

1661
02:32:15,705 --> 02:32:16,305
is not right.

1662
02:32:16,445 --> 02:32:20,125
After I share some research, I'm sure some of you will be as alarmed and concerned as I am

1663
02:32:20,125 --> 02:32:26,205
that the administration is implementing this program, especially in light of the lack of transfer,

1664
02:32:26,725 --> 02:32:29,125
especially in light of the lack of transparency regarding the forebikes.

1665
02:32:29,145 --> 02:32:48,765
What is the origin for the no place for a no place for hate? They anti-deformation leak. From their website, they are anti-hate organization founded to combat anti-Semitism and bigotry. To achieve this aim, the ADL targets groups are individuals by labeling their actions as extremist, racist, sexist, and attempt to silence and censor them.

1666
02:32:48,765 --> 02:32:53,925
Why is the school board adopting a program from a political, non-governmental organization?

1667
02:32:54,405 --> 02:32:57,265
The Villageral Metropolitan School website sites no place for hate is being used to help

1668
02:32:57,265 --> 02:33:00,365
see USDA be a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone?

1669
02:33:00,925 --> 02:33:03,865
What is the evidence that suggests the CSED is not a welcoming environment?

1670
02:33:04,145 --> 02:33:07,645
According to administration at Villageral Elementary, military families and handicapped

1671
02:33:07,645 --> 02:33:12,305
children do not feel included. I was told that even a single incident would be caused for

1672
02:33:12,305 --> 02:33:16,965
concern and justification for the program. I disagree. I believe before adopting a partisan

1673
02:33:16,965 --> 02:33:20,985
program with multiple genders on a checkered history of character assassination, the

1674
02:33:20,985 --> 02:33:23,865
board should have had a serious conversation with the community, all the definition of

1675
02:33:23,865 --> 02:33:27,425
hate, and the hateful incidents that apparently are taking place in CUSD.

1676
02:33:27,805 --> 02:33:31,785
I was told the administration implemented it, so for the record, the superintendent decided

1677
02:33:31,785 --> 02:33:35,705
to implement no place for hate without any justification without any conversation with the

1678
02:33:35,705 --> 02:33:36,005
community.

1679
02:33:36,425 --> 02:33:37,025
Question mark.

1680
02:33:37,885 --> 02:33:40,765
When I asked how it was being implemented, I was told it was a student-led group of

1681
02:33:40,765 --> 02:33:44,085
volunteer help, so the superintendent, along with the school's principals, think parents

1682
02:33:44,085 --> 02:33:46,785
on their kids to school to be taught by other students.

1683
02:33:47,365 --> 02:33:49,385
At this point, they're wondering what exactly is the program?

1684
02:33:50,005 --> 02:33:52,045
I'll show what I learned by looking at the ADLs

1685
02:33:52,045 --> 02:33:52,825
in a PlaySupply website.

1686
02:33:53,045 --> 02:33:55,645
The No PlaySupply program is a framework for schools.

1687
02:33:55,845 --> 02:33:58,345
It's seek to improve school-connet by incorporation,

1688
02:33:58,465 --> 02:33:59,185
the following programming.

1689
02:33:59,945 --> 02:34:00,745
One, political recommendations,

1690
02:34:01,105 --> 02:34:03,665
support bias, bullying, diversity, and social justice education.

1691
02:34:04,085 --> 02:34:05,605
Not a discussion of increasing your students'

1692
02:34:05,725 --> 02:34:07,785
reading comprehension or lexiles score.

1693
02:34:08,165 --> 02:34:10,205
Two, lesson plans such as toys and gender.

1694
02:34:10,665 --> 02:34:11,225
Play the website.

1695
02:34:11,365 --> 02:34:13,325
This lesson will give students the opportunity to learn about

1696
02:34:13,325 --> 02:34:17,505
reflect on how toys are influenced by gender stereotypes, yada yada yada yada,

1697
02:34:17,565 --> 02:34:21,265
three recommendations to educators, for instance, there's an eight-point plan to ensure

1698
02:34:21,265 --> 02:34:25,445
communication is free of gender bias. Assuming I am wrong, the superintendent did not

1699
02:34:25,445 --> 02:34:28,465
unilaterally decide to enroll with school in the ADL's no-place rate program,

1700
02:34:28,645 --> 02:34:32,765
that is stands a reason the board approved this program. Believes the material in the ADL's website

1701
02:34:32,765 --> 02:34:35,765
is appropriate for kindergarten through 12th grade students and therefore the board,

1702
02:34:35,785 --> 02:34:39,945
once it's teacher used parallel language when referring to persons by sex and once teachers

1703
02:34:39,945 --> 02:34:42,925
substitute neutral words for man and women in job titles.

1704
02:34:43,505 --> 02:34:47,305
Lastly, I discovered last week, after corresponding with ADL San Diego office, that all

1705
02:34:47,305 --> 02:34:50,485
coronada unified school districts are designated as no place for hate.

1706
02:34:50,765 --> 02:34:54,185
For the community's awareness, not only did testify money get spent on receiving the

1707
02:34:54,185 --> 02:34:58,825
designation, and 75% of the student body had to be controlled in assigning a pledge, but

1708
02:34:58,825 --> 02:35:03,485
most significantly, the superintendent had to seek ADL pre-approval for coronada no place for

1709
02:35:03,485 --> 02:35:03,965
hate activities.

1710
02:35:04,385 --> 02:35:07,205
I think parents should know that the governing board is handing their child's education

1711
02:35:07,205 --> 02:35:11,365
over to a political organization that believes the way to reduce hate is to identity division,

1712
02:35:11,645 --> 02:35:15,205
attacking cultural norms, gender bias, and social justice, and Dr. Nation.

1713
02:35:15,465 --> 02:35:18,405
Our request answers to be publicly addressed at the next school board meeting.

1714
02:35:18,625 --> 02:35:19,565
Thank you.

1715
02:35:31,585 --> 02:35:33,905
One more card before we get to the recorded comments.

1716
02:35:35,145 --> 02:35:35,345
Jerry,

1717
02:35:36,305 --> 02:35:36,665
the major.

1718
02:35:38,645 --> 02:35:39,145
This is major.

1719
02:35:41,085 --> 02:35:42,065
I'm asking her that one too.

1720
02:35:42,425 --> 02:35:42,605
I'm sorry.

1721
02:35:43,565 --> 02:35:44,445
Excuse me?

1722
02:35:44,585 --> 02:35:45,645
I missed pronounce out.

1723
02:35:45,645 --> 02:35:46,545
I'm sorry if I did.

1724
02:35:46,605 --> 02:35:47,005
No.

1725
02:35:47,905 --> 02:35:50,925
I just wanted to thank you for taking my comments.

1726
02:35:51,305 --> 02:35:53,325
I'm a parent, a taxpayer, and a voter.

1727
02:35:54,245 --> 02:35:58,765
And I have a sixth grader and a ninth grader in the public school system here.

1728
02:36:00,785 --> 02:36:07,705
My daughter, the sixth grader, was distressed one day to hear in her class,

1729
02:36:08,045 --> 02:36:12,325
a discussion about pronoun preference, and gender identity.

1730
02:36:13,185 --> 02:36:15,285
And she asked me, Mom, what's that all about?

1731
02:36:15,865 --> 02:36:21,145
She was confused, and then she had a questionnaire where she had to answer a question about

1732
02:36:21,145 --> 02:36:23,085
what is her pronoun preference.

1733
02:36:23,745 --> 02:36:26,925
And I assured her in all my years of education on 58,

1734
02:36:27,545 --> 02:36:31,145
no one has ever asked me what my gender preference is.

1735
02:36:31,925 --> 02:36:34,765
My husband I went and spoke with through Zoom.

1736
02:36:34,945 --> 02:36:39,205
We spoke with the principals, and they told us to talk to the district,

1737
02:36:40,005 --> 02:36:42,065
and so I decided to come.

1738
02:36:42,065 --> 02:36:48,245
I've never had four kids in the system in California, I've never done this before, but I'm really

1739
02:36:48,245 --> 02:36:53,165
concerned because it doesn't seem appropriate to have a 12-year-old discussing these kinds

1740
02:36:53,165 --> 02:37:02,205
of things. And I'm wondering why hearing what the stats are academically, why are we doing this?

1741
02:37:02,525 --> 02:37:06,745
I don't understand, and I'd love to hear what each of the board members feels about this subject,

1742
02:37:07,385 --> 02:37:09,325
because I'm really concerned. Thank you.

1743
02:37:09,325 --> 02:37:10,225
I

1744
02:37:16,525 --> 02:37:19,985
believe that's everyone that submitted a yellow card as I corrected in Miss Any.

1745
02:37:21,825 --> 02:37:25,185
Then Miss Miguel, I've got a few of you have played the recorded comments, please.

1746
02:37:29,965 --> 02:37:32,965
We've received six comments on item 6.3.

1747
02:37:33,725 --> 02:37:39,045
We applaud the board for making the now 8-month-old change in the DAG to end harassment in CUSD.

1748
02:37:39,425 --> 02:37:44,825
However, it is unclear if the stronger sanctions for the use of bias language have been communicated

1749
02:37:44,825 --> 02:37:51,065
assertively by CUSD administrative and teaching staff to all parents and students, to all students

1750
02:37:51,065 --> 02:37:56,625
know how to report violations, was any proper training provided to teachers and coaches?

1751
02:37:57,305 --> 02:38:02,105
It is the responsibility of the board to request an accounting from CUSD staff detailing

1752
02:38:02,105 --> 02:38:07,585
exactly what they have done to implement this dig change. This request needs to be on the

1753
02:38:07,585 --> 02:38:13,925
June CUSD board agenda. Thank you for addressing the issue of verbal discrimination and for updating

1754
02:38:13,925 --> 02:38:18,685
the dead guidelines appropriately. Please make sure teachers and staff are trained on how to

1755
02:38:18,685 --> 02:38:24,265
respond when racial slurs are used on school grounds and encourage students to report violations.

1756
02:38:25,325 --> 02:38:30,445
Also important is that this messaging is translated into easy to understand guidelines for our

1757
02:38:30,445 --> 02:38:36,665
different age group to kids and that everyone understands how important it is. Words matter and racist

1758
02:38:36,665 --> 02:38:42,165
language is violent. Let's teach our kids how to be responsible and inclusive citizens and give them

1759
02:38:42,165 --> 02:38:46,885
tools to recognize hate speech when they hear it and push back against it.

1760
02:38:47,165 --> 02:38:48,105
Thank you.

1761
02:38:48,425 --> 02:38:49,925
Thank you for the revised dive.

1762
02:38:50,485 --> 02:38:59,645
Please instruct CUSD staff to provide a report on how they have communicated to the parents, students, teachers, and coaches about their revised discipline action guide.

1763
02:39:00,265 --> 02:39:05,465
Which now prohibits use the bias language regarding race, gender, or disabilities.

1764
02:39:06,285 --> 02:39:08,165
Where is the dive posted on the website?

1765
02:39:08,165 --> 02:39:14,605
In which prominent location, at the school, can it be found, where is it highlighted in

1766
02:39:14,605 --> 02:39:18,285
newsletters or direct emails and letters to parents, principals, and coaches?

1767
02:39:18,905 --> 02:39:23,325
I request that training be provided for teachers and coaches on how to handle complaints regarding

1768
02:39:23,325 --> 02:39:29,965
racial slurs, which would be in violation of the revised DAG. We would like continued reports of racial

1769
02:39:29,965 --> 02:39:35,465
slurs on CUSD sports teams, and request that specific guidance be given to the coaches.

1770
02:39:35,465 --> 02:39:40,745
What guidance is given to students to report racial slurs or harassment that happens online

1771
02:39:40,745 --> 02:39:43,505
on campus and on sports teams?

1772
02:39:44,645 --> 02:39:48,625
I would like to remind Superintendent Mueller and the school board that verbal harassment,

1773
02:39:48,885 --> 02:39:54,565
which includes funding, insulting, humiliating, and intimidating the student of Prop.

1774
02:39:54,785 --> 02:39:58,125
Prompt action is not taken through the Discipline Action Guide.

1775
02:39:58,125 --> 02:39:58,965
Encry.

1776
02:39:59,145 --> 02:40:20,045
Long term negative self-esteem issues, depression, and potentially suicide in a student. Last week's U.S.D. lost a pressure student life due to a drug overdose. Please do not dismiss the harmful reality and consequences of verbal harassment. You listen to parents and community and updated the day. Thank you.

1777
02:40:20,045 --> 02:40:26,365
Now it's time for you to urgently, one, translate the day into age-appropriate language. So,

1778
02:40:26,445 --> 02:40:32,545
young students clearly understand it's meaning to distribute the policy as stated in the

1779
02:40:32,545 --> 02:40:38,645
day. Distribution plan, the district shall make every attempt to distribute a copy of this plan

1780
02:40:38,645 --> 02:40:44,545
to all students and their parents and guardians in a language they can understand. It shall also be posted

1781
02:40:44,545 --> 02:40:49,545
on the district website and in a visible, prominent location with an age school.

1782
02:40:50,325 --> 02:40:55,885
It's a really require the CUSD superintendent to communicate to the CUSD community regarding

1783
02:40:55,885 --> 02:40:58,205
the importance of this diet change.

1784
02:40:59,045 --> 02:40:59,245
Why?

1785
02:41:00,105 --> 02:41:04,065
It was created, CUSD's commitment to it.

1786
02:41:04,245 --> 02:41:08,405
How it will be enforced and how to make a complaint of a violation occurs.

1787
02:41:08,405 --> 02:41:16,285
For, trained teachers, coaches, and staff to handle violations of this tag policy, and encourage students to report violations.

1788
02:41:17,805 --> 02:41:27,805
I'm John Mozier, father up to one daughter, a sophomore at CHS, another daughter who graduated CHS in 2020, and one son at CHS class in 2002.

1789
02:41:27,805 --> 02:41:31,885
I've had children in the Coronado School District for over 20 years.

1790
02:41:32,225 --> 02:41:36,565
I volunteer to serve as a parent on the District's Equity Committee, relevant detail.

1791
02:41:36,725 --> 02:41:41,465
My daughters are Chinese, adopted in 2003 and 2005, respectively.

1792
02:41:42,305 --> 02:41:46,005
From the equity perspective, ours as a race mixed race family.

1793
02:41:46,685 --> 02:41:51,905
I've been troubled to observe almost a slavish obsession with the idea that human beings

1794
02:41:51,905 --> 02:41:54,905
are to be thought of and treated based on group identities.

1795
02:41:55,625 --> 02:42:01,125
Identities largely defined and are constrained by appearance and or behavioral choices.

1796
02:42:01,605 --> 02:42:07,825
This is almost the precise opposite of moral and ethical principles I started to teach my children,

1797
02:42:08,345 --> 02:42:09,905
and model for them as their father.

1798
02:42:10,625 --> 02:42:16,145
I'm an advocate for the Dr. King content of their character, approach to morals and ethics,

1799
02:42:17,025 --> 02:42:23,585
not to judge others by appearance, but how they act and the dignity their personal conduct affords to others.

1800
02:42:23,585 --> 02:42:48,245
I will continue to serve on the equity committee, but those who can't foresee dangerous and teaching children to view identity as inexorably tied to race or sex, or behavior while simultaneously teaching these same children that some groups hating, other groups is pervasive, problem, and coronado schools is either naive or ideologically blind.

1801
02:42:48,245 --> 02:42:50,705
These ideas will have consequences.

1802
02:42:51,545 --> 02:42:55,825
I'd be happy to meet personally with any board member willing to do so thoughtfully,

1803
02:42:56,085 --> 02:42:59,625
discuss and examine these entirely foreseeable consequences.

1804
02:43:00,625 --> 02:43:05,665
My name is Bob Grove. After 22 years in Coronado, my wife and I have paid a little attention

1805
02:43:05,665 --> 02:43:08,265
to the operation of the Coronado Univide School District.

1806
02:43:08,305 --> 02:43:12,785
Here, about recently, I have a couple of troubling programs focused on social engineering

1807
02:43:12,785 --> 02:43:19,925
students views and thoughts that are being actively promoted. A, no place for hate has been

1808
02:43:19,925 --> 02:43:25,505
using Coronado for three years. I really do not want my granddaughters being subjected to this kind

1809
02:43:26,025 --> 02:43:32,545
kind of activities listed in program examples or any activities related to racism and hate.

1810
02:43:33,225 --> 02:43:38,625
The equity sessions just got started during the past year with a committee of parents, teachers and

1811
02:43:38,625 --> 02:43:45,465
students and is led by San Diego County Office of Education consultants to create equity for all,

1812
02:43:46,405 --> 02:43:52,065
which sounds like a lot of critical theory jargon. Information presented in slides from equity

1813
02:43:52,065 --> 02:43:59,805
sessions must match the best word salad I've ever read. Words sound good and are thoroughly mixed and

1814
02:43:59,805 --> 02:44:06,685
tossed but I'm not always sure of the meaning. It is nonsense. What bothers me most here is that within

1815
02:44:06,685 --> 02:44:12,725
38 years of experience in conducting research, evaluation, and assessment studies of educational

1816
02:44:12,725 --> 02:44:18,925
programs including social engineering programs. I have never found any statistically significant

1817
02:44:18,925 --> 02:44:26,465
effects relating, social engineering, participation, and improved academic success. These programs

1818
02:44:26,465 --> 02:44:29,825
really accomplish anything. Stop implementation.

1819
02:44:38,985 --> 02:44:40,905
That was the last one. Thank you.

1820
02:44:43,085 --> 02:44:46,545
Thank you again for all your comments tonight. We will now

1821
02:44:46,545 --> 02:44:53,745
proceed with the report six point three of the student services update on some of the topics we've just heard about.

1822
02:44:53,825 --> 02:44:54,505
Mr. Mueller.

1823
02:44:56,245 --> 02:44:57,285
Thank you, Captain Pontus.

1824
02:44:57,365 --> 02:45:06,165
I would like to ask our Director of Student Services Miss Niefoli to come up and share her report with the governing board.

1825
02:45:07,245 --> 02:45:16,525
After she presents her report, the governing board will have opportunities to ask questions about the report and then open up discussion.

1826
02:45:16,525 --> 02:45:17,785
regarding public comments.

1827
02:45:20,795 --> 02:45:24,375
Good evening, Captain Pontus, Trestes, Superintendent Mueller.

1828
02:45:25,455 --> 02:45:28,635
Thank you for having me again this evening and thank you to all our

1829
02:45:29,595 --> 02:45:34,695
comment commenters here in the board room with us and also those who took the time

1830
02:45:34,695 --> 02:45:36,355
to send in recorded calls.

1831
02:45:37,035 --> 02:45:40,595
I appreciate your input and think that this will lead to a robust discussion

1832
02:45:40,595 --> 02:45:41,455
for our community.

1833
02:45:42,135 --> 02:45:48,455
My report tonight is a student services report, which covers a couple of different areas.

1834
02:45:49,435 --> 02:45:54,435
So it's special education, student services, as well as the Equity Committee update.

1835
02:45:55,335 --> 02:46:01,315
So the first item was accolades for I-Lane Rodriguez, who is our self-overcipient.

1836
02:46:01,635 --> 02:46:06,715
And we've already heard Ms. Lisa Lanzo, our director from the preschool discuss that.

1837
02:46:06,715 --> 02:46:12,675
I would like to publicly say congratulations to Eileen and I look forward to next week when she

1838
02:46:12,675 --> 02:46:19,955
will receive that actual Selpa Award for her inclusive education, her contributions to inclusive

1839
02:46:19,955 --> 02:46:26,295
education at our preschool. Our next is just a brief highlight of our extended school year

1840
02:46:26,295 --> 02:46:31,815
and really what I'm highlighting there is extended school year as services for students with

1841
02:46:31,815 --> 02:46:40,175
abilities during those 20 days of June 21st through July 16th. What's significant about this

1842
02:46:40,175 --> 02:46:46,115
is that we are increasing the number of hours of services so students will receive four hours

1843
02:46:46,115 --> 02:46:53,795
of instruction specifically to their IEP goals. So that was the reason for that included in the report.

1844
02:46:54,495 --> 02:46:59,875
If I'm moving too quickly I'm purposely just trying to cover things so we can get to the topics

1845
02:46:59,875 --> 02:47:03,675
that have the most discussion.

1846
02:47:04,595 --> 02:47:08,115
May is mental wellness as well as better speech and hearing month.

1847
02:47:08,495 --> 02:47:11,915
I do want to publicly acknowledge all of our clinicians

1848
02:47:11,915 --> 02:47:14,835
whether they be our clinical counselors, our herbs, clinicians,

1849
02:47:15,175 --> 02:47:17,895
our school psychologists, our military family,

1850
02:47:17,975 --> 02:47:20,795
life counselors for the work that they do with our students.

1851
02:47:21,835 --> 02:47:24,855
Especially this year, more than ever before,

1852
02:47:25,755 --> 02:47:28,835
the topics of mental wellness for students

1853
02:47:28,835 --> 02:47:29,115
Good night.

1854
02:47:29,145 --> 02:47:54,505
And staff have been topics of conversation, and so tremendous support from all of our counselling staff, so a tremendous thanks to them, as well as we celebrate our speech pathologists in the month of May with better speech and hearing months, month we have five SLPs in our district, and so I think them for their work that they do with our communication needs for students.

1855
02:47:55,405 --> 02:47:58,665
The next, any, any questions before I move on.

1856
02:47:58,685 --> 02:48:03,645
The next is our discussion of our review of the no place for hate.

1857
02:48:04,845 --> 02:48:07,905
So, as, as is written there in the report,

1858
02:48:07,965 --> 02:48:14,145
it's an organizing framework by ADL partnership with ADL for K-12 schools.

1859
02:48:14,665 --> 02:48:18,365
The program is designed to be a very holistic approach.

1860
02:48:18,705 --> 02:48:20,525
It amplifies student voice.

1861
02:48:20,525 --> 02:48:30,505
We recognize that students are really where kindness begins and how students interact with each other is what is most important.

1862
02:48:31,805 --> 02:48:36,825
As you see, our schools have been designated as no place for hate just this year.

1863
02:48:37,505 --> 02:48:49,725
We initiated this in September and it was a tremendous effort on behalf of the committees at each campus to bring the

1864
02:48:49,725 --> 02:48:56,125
the positivity that has come from no place for hate to our schools in the middle of a pandemic.

1865
02:48:56,765 --> 02:49:02,245
What they did was they formed committees. The committees where have parent support

1866
02:49:02,245 --> 02:49:09,605
have student voice administrators and teachers and they led school wide activities specifically

1867
02:49:09,605 --> 02:49:14,845
around teaching respect, celebrating diversity and building positive school climate.

1868
02:49:14,845 --> 02:49:23,985
The activities are approved, being that we were in the designation process, the activities

1869
02:49:23,985 --> 02:49:30,645
had to be approved by the education consultants from no place for hate to ensure that we

1870
02:49:30,645 --> 02:49:37,725
were doing activities that would make the goal of teaching about bias, prejudice, stereotypes,

1871
02:49:38,665 --> 02:49:41,665
discrimination, bullying, and additionally cyberbullying.

1872
02:49:41,665 --> 02:49:49,905
they were tailored to grade level so they weren't it wasn't a one-size-fits-all. If you look at the committee at

1873
02:49:49,905 --> 02:49:53,545
Village Elementary it's very different than the committee at Coronado High School.

1874
02:49:53,785 --> 02:49:57,105
May I ask a question right there with something you said.

1875
02:49:57,965 --> 02:50:05,665
Why you would a 501c3 organization like and let's say with acronyms that anti-deformation link,

1876
02:50:05,665 --> 02:50:11,545
which has a history of targeting a lot of black leaders and Arab organizations.

1877
02:50:12,325 --> 02:50:19,125
Why would they be privy to information with regard to our students such as the one you said that you shared

1878
02:50:19,125 --> 02:50:22,125
is so that we would acquire this designation.

1879
02:50:22,865 --> 02:50:27,005
And what exactly was entailed reaching this designation?

1880
02:50:27,485 --> 02:50:30,665
Was there a pledge of any sort reaching 75%.

1881
02:50:30,665 --> 02:50:38,665
So, part of the initial activities is that the school puts together a committee and the committee

1882
02:50:38,665 --> 02:50:47,585
then asks student members to pledge kindness, and so they do sign a pledge to commit to this.

1883
02:50:47,845 --> 02:50:51,485
And that was one of the very first activities all the way back in the fall.

1884
02:50:52,325 --> 02:50:58,565
And then some of the other activities that they conducted at Village, they did Mahalo Mondays,

1885
02:50:58,565 --> 02:51:03,585
where they greeted students at the gate when they were coming in the gate and gave them

1886
02:51:03,585 --> 02:51:10,725
kindness cards, reminders of how to be kind. They participated in the great kindness challenge,

1887
02:51:11,425 --> 02:51:16,465
which gave students the ideas of here's 10 things that you could do that would demonstrate

1888
02:51:16,465 --> 02:51:21,585
kindness today. So those would be some of the types of activities.

1889
02:51:22,685 --> 02:51:28,205
But specifically the pledges I will be kind, that's what does 75% of our student body

1890
02:51:28,205 --> 02:51:36,585
signed. I will be kind. The pledge is a lengthy, a full-page document that talks about.

1891
02:51:37,005 --> 02:51:40,925
I don't know. I don't have it committed to memory, but I could bring it for you.

1892
02:51:41,165 --> 02:51:43,685
That would be great. Thank you. When I apologize for the intention.

1893
02:51:43,945 --> 02:51:48,825
And, Ms. Foley, I believe I heard in Trust Me if I'm mistaken. Trust you about this, Clayton.

1894
02:51:49,005 --> 02:51:53,765
Did we disclose any student personal information to no place for hate or the anti-differentiations?

1895
02:51:53,765 --> 02:51:55,805
No, we do not. Thank you.

1896
02:51:55,805 --> 02:52:03,885
And I only mentioned that because some of their own curriculum asks for schools to report and I quote

1897
02:52:03,885 --> 02:52:09,685
Any incidents of bias, bullying, and discrimination as soon as the harassment occurs.

1898
02:52:10,045 --> 02:52:16,225
So we're not beholden to sharing any kind of information with this 501c3.

1899
02:52:16,385 --> 02:52:16,845
That's important.

1900
02:52:16,885 --> 02:52:19,365
We do not share any student information.

1901
02:52:19,605 --> 02:52:19,965
Thank you.

1902
02:52:22,075 --> 02:52:29,935
But we do get the training materials and direction if there is an issue from the ADL.

1903
02:52:30,815 --> 02:52:37,075
And how many instances of hate have we had in like K-35 to remind us it is to be kind?

1904
02:52:37,795 --> 02:52:42,515
I would like to ask the governing board if we're going to ask Ms. Foley questions that

1905
02:52:42,515 --> 02:52:48,035
aren't part of her report that we have a board discussion and that the board for a future

1906
02:52:48,035 --> 02:52:53,075
board agenda item, direct the superintendent to present a report to the governing board that

1907
02:52:53,075 --> 02:52:54,835
addresses questions you may have.

1908
02:52:55,555 --> 02:53:02,575
I know Ms. Foley's report does not outline data of our discipline action guide, so she

1909
02:53:02,575 --> 02:53:05,435
wasn't prepared to respond to your question of number of incidents.

1910
02:53:05,695 --> 02:53:10,715
I think in fairness to our staff providing her with opportunities and staff with opportunities

1911
02:53:10,715 --> 02:53:15,295
to call, including some of the questions that were raised this evening by members of our

1912
02:53:15,295 --> 02:53:21,355
community, Ms. Folley shared to present her report on student services and I would like questions

1913
02:53:21,355 --> 02:53:25,375
directed to Ms. Folley to be specific to her report and then a board discussion.

1914
02:53:26,055 --> 02:53:31,275
To be clear, Superintendent, she did mention a pledge. I happened to, I wasn't referring

1915
02:53:31,275 --> 02:53:37,735
to your question about the pledge. I was referring to a number of incidents of trusty

1916
02:53:37,735 --> 02:53:38,915
Because I ask questions.

1917
02:53:41,805 --> 02:53:45,885
And I'm taking notes of the items to bring back for you.

1918
02:53:46,145 --> 02:53:48,505
I think the concern is, I'm the only parent.

1919
02:53:48,725 --> 02:53:51,605
I'm the only one that has, well, not parent,

1920
02:53:52,125 --> 02:53:53,865
but it has children in the school.

1921
02:53:54,465 --> 02:53:57,305
And I was very concerned when this came out, very concerned.

1922
02:53:57,765 --> 02:53:59,725
I let it, because it does.

1923
02:54:00,085 --> 02:54:03,505
It sounds, while it sounds a good pursuit of cause,

1924
02:54:04,565 --> 02:54:07,365
just being aligned with a political organization,

1925
02:54:07,365 --> 02:54:13,265
that's very hypertense of is a concern. And my kids do not sign that. You'll pledge for hate.

1926
02:54:13,705 --> 02:54:18,985
I said absolutely not. And for my fourth grader to come to me and say, I don't want to sign this,

1927
02:54:19,105 --> 02:54:23,465
because I don't hate. I think that there's different messages that are being presented.

1928
02:54:24,605 --> 02:54:32,285
The students were coerced in deciding it. That's a concern to me. The other concern is that

1929
02:54:32,285 --> 02:54:39,525
And the activities that the students are asked to do are during school curricular time.

1930
02:54:39,925 --> 02:54:44,565
When we are already down 33% with students that have these in F's.

1931
02:54:44,665 --> 02:54:51,325
If this is a club, it's what Superintendent Mueller mentioned, then why are we doing it during

1932
02:54:51,325 --> 02:54:53,945
Keep curricular hours.

1933
02:55:03,145 --> 02:55:11,725
And I think that the thing is, is my daughter had to fill out a form and unless you fill out the forms to its entirety, you can't submit them.

1934
02:55:12,465 --> 02:55:23,025
She was not going to be given a point for an activity because she didn't fill it out to its entirety, asking pronouns, asking other personal questions.

1935
02:55:23,025 --> 02:55:29,305
And I think that the school is not the third arm of the parent and I think programs such

1936
02:55:29,305 --> 02:55:35,585
as this starts to wrap the third arm around the student and the school is not the third

1937
02:55:35,585 --> 02:55:36,605
arm of the parent.

1938
02:55:37,345 --> 02:55:46,145
The school is, our job is to ensure quality curriculum and I didn't know about this.

1939
02:55:46,365 --> 02:55:49,605
This was when I was on the board in September, so I don't need to know if the board approved

1940
02:55:49,605 --> 02:55:52,865
this program or this was approved through committees.

1941
02:55:56,815 --> 02:56:00,495
Ms. Will, can you conclude your report and then we can start addressing some of the questions

1942
02:56:00,495 --> 02:56:01,555
or concerns race?

1943
02:56:03,735 --> 02:56:12,715
The next portion listed their goal 3.0 and goal 3.2 referred to our long-range plan, and

1944
02:56:12,715 --> 02:56:18,415
the work of the no place for hate committees aligns with our long-range plan on the first

1945
02:56:18,415 --> 02:56:24,415
goal being support, and that is maintained safe and supportive schools with appropriate resources,

1946
02:56:24,415 --> 02:56:30,195
practices and procedures where students and staff thrive. That's the language right from our

1947
02:56:30,195 --> 02:56:37,375
our LRP and also goal 3.2 strengthen programs and expand resources which support the physical

1948
02:56:37,375 --> 02:56:44,535
and emotional health of COSD staff and students. Additionally, I included California Education Code

1949
02:56:44,535 --> 02:56:52,025
which obviously aligns with federal anti-discrimination laws Title IX but some of the real key

1950
02:56:52,025 --> 02:56:57,325
and ceiling at features out of California Education Code Section 201.

1951
02:56:57,325 --> 02:57:02,605
Public schools are to take affirmative steps to combat racism, sexism, and other forms of bias.

1952
02:57:03,805 --> 02:57:09,585
And also prevent and respond to acts of hate violence and bias related incidents in an urgent manner.

1953
02:57:10,505 --> 02:57:18,865
And then that last one teach and inform students about their rights and rights of others in order to increase awareness and understanding in order to promote tolerance and sensitivity.

1954
02:57:25,205 --> 02:57:34,605
Okay. So the next moving along is moving into the equity committee update.

1955
02:57:36,805 --> 02:57:38,845
So our equity

1956
02:57:38,845 --> 02:57:47,465
committee convened seven 90-minute sessions since November. I'll recall that we had our

1957
02:57:47,465 --> 02:57:54,105
governing board workshop in September where the governing board took that time to write

1958
02:57:54,105 --> 02:58:01,585
our board policy, O415, which is our equity board policy, and our equity board policy really

1959
02:58:01,585 --> 02:58:08,965
clearly delineates the, do you mind pulling up those slides? Because I have the actual BP on

1960
02:58:08,965 --> 02:58:13,445
there, and I don't want to miss speak. Thank you.

1961
02:58:18,645 --> 02:58:22,285
So our equity board policy there addresses

1962
02:58:22,285 --> 02:58:32,965
nine key areas, and those nine key areas specifically address routinely assessing student needs based

1963
02:58:32,965 --> 02:58:41,365
on disaggregated data, analyzing expenditures and financial human resources that we developed

1964
02:58:41,365 --> 02:58:47,225
a tiger team out of that one for human resources, enabling and encouraging students to enroll

1965
02:58:47,225 --> 02:58:49,405
participate in complete, complete,

1966
02:58:49,405 --> 02:58:53,085
excuse me, complete curricular and extracurricular courses,

1967
02:58:53,585 --> 02:58:56,445
advanced college prep programs and other student activities,

1968
02:58:57,565 --> 02:59:00,825
building a positive school climate that promotes student engagement,

1969
02:59:01,245 --> 02:59:04,285
safety, and academic and other supports for students,

1970
02:59:05,245 --> 02:59:08,345
augment instruction with resources and expand understanding

1971
02:59:08,345 --> 02:59:11,885
and exposure to diverse perspectives, which support

1972
02:59:11,885 --> 02:59:13,385
and enhanced student achievement,

1973
02:59:15,025 --> 02:59:20,025
providing and or collaborating with local agencies to access support services for students

1974
02:59:20,025 --> 02:59:26,765
in need, promoting employment and retention of diverse staff, providing district staff with

1975
02:59:26,765 --> 02:59:31,905
ongoing research-based professional learning development on diversity and educational equity

1976
02:59:31,905 --> 02:59:37,865
among all students, and then finally review current program evaluations focusing on educational

1977
02:59:37,865 --> 02:59:43,465
equity and address the academic outcomes and performance of all students on all indicators.

1978
02:59:45,645 --> 02:59:50,565
I included the board policy because I think it's a helpful reminder for all of us

1979
02:59:50,565 --> 02:59:54,785
of how we have arrived where we have with our equity committee.

1980
02:59:55,605 --> 03:00:00,845
Please note that the work that we do in the district not all equity work comes from the work

1981
03:00:00,845 --> 03:00:01,585
of that committee.

1982
03:00:02,065 --> 03:00:05,745
We make decisions based on student need every single day.

1983
03:00:05,745 --> 03:00:29,945
I feel very comfortable and confident saying that decisions that are made, you know, most recently we were discussing summer school and the need for summer school and the need for students to really at our high school level in many cases it's remediation of course work.

1984
03:00:29,945 --> 03:00:39,345
Those are equity-based decisions that is based on data that we sit and we pour over lists of students who have significant need.

1985
03:00:40,165 --> 03:00:41,745
That is not based on race.

1986
03:00:42,105 --> 03:00:43,505
That is not based on language.

1987
03:00:44,105 --> 03:00:45,825
That is not based on disability.

1988
03:00:46,265 --> 03:00:55,305
That is not based on anything other than the data and front of us indicates that that student has a need to remediate coursework.

1989
03:00:55,305 --> 03:01:12,425
And we make those equity-based decisions every day, so not all decisions in our district that are related to student data goes through this equity committee that has met seven times in the last six months.

1990
03:01:13,105 --> 03:01:21,545
So I wanted to say that publicly, the work that we have done on that equity committee has had stops and starts.

1991
03:01:21,545 --> 03:01:38,025
We started off, we really were in phase one, and that was getting to know ourselves and what we bring to the table and building a culture of trust and open communication so we could have those hard discussions.

1992
03:01:38,705 --> 03:01:47,365
But always coming back to those four areas of supplemental materials, professional development, human resources and positive school culture.

1993
03:01:48,685 --> 03:02:11,565
Many of the comments that were the recorded comments tonight I heard about the Discipline Action Guide, so if I could, I just want to address some of those, they're not in this written report, but the positive school culture group, there were two groups, one was a student group and one was a parent group.

1994
03:02:11,565 --> 03:02:21,385
And in that parent group, we talked a lot about understanding our discipline action guide and understanding our discipline matrix.

1995
03:02:22,125 --> 03:02:28,965
Our discipline matrix is based on restorative practices, positive behavior intervention.

1996
03:02:29,145 --> 03:02:52,485
And parents were saying, we don't understand that. What does that mean if my child gets sent to the office? So out of that parent committee of our equity committee of the positive school culture, we decided to focus on making the discipline action guide tangible to parents, understandable to parents.

1997
03:02:52,485 --> 03:02:56,485
So that is the task that my department will take on this summer.

1998
03:02:57,405 --> 03:03:00,025
We're creating what we call one-pagers.

1999
03:03:00,605 --> 03:03:05,205
Simple ways to understand if my child receives a referral,

2000
03:03:05,225 --> 03:03:08,625
if my child goes to the office, what will happen.

2001
03:03:09,105 --> 03:03:16,485
And helping break down the somewhat cumbersome California education code

2002
03:03:16,485 --> 03:03:19,305
that guides our discipline, action guide.

2003
03:03:19,305 --> 03:03:25,825
So, I give you that as an example of some of the work that was occurring in those small

2004
03:03:25,825 --> 03:03:27,025
tiger teams.

2005
03:03:28,245 --> 03:03:35,305
Our positive school culture, the student group, students created, and this was one of our

2006
03:03:35,305 --> 03:03:35,805
students here.

2007
03:03:36,345 --> 03:03:44,285
Students created a survey that they would like to share with their peers.

2008
03:03:44,285 --> 03:03:50,905
Many of the comments were that we don't have enough, there isn't enough presence of students on this committee.

2009
03:03:51,485 --> 03:03:52,965
Students don't have enough voice.

2010
03:03:54,065 --> 03:04:01,305
So, one way that we gather student information is student surveys such as our California Healthy Kids Survey.

2011
03:04:02,185 --> 03:04:09,485
Another way that we can get information from our current students is to have them create the survey,

2012
03:04:09,485 --> 03:04:14,505
and have them ask their peers about questions that are important to them.

2013
03:04:14,925 --> 03:04:17,825
That survey has not been sent out yet.

2014
03:04:18,005 --> 03:04:20,305
That is still in the working stages.

2015
03:04:21,125 --> 03:04:27,705
And the students that were on the committee part of it was we wanted to wait until the very end of the school year to send it out.

2016
03:04:28,105 --> 03:04:35,285
Students are right now focusing on statewide testing, APs, approaching the end of the school year.

2017
03:04:35,285 --> 03:04:41,145
there's a lot of things. So we strategically held the survey, but the students have written a letter,

2018
03:04:41,145 --> 03:04:47,725
a cover letter to explain, we're on the equity committee. We would like to know your opinions about,

2019
03:04:48,325 --> 03:04:57,905
and then they worked in their tiger team to develop the survey questions. It is one more data point for us.

2020
03:04:57,905 --> 03:05:02,885
It is information from students asking their peers questions.

2021
03:05:05,465 --> 03:05:09,525
So that's a discussion of some of the work that the Tiger team has been doing.

2022
03:05:12,335 --> 03:05:13,275
Thank you.

2023
03:05:13,455 --> 03:05:14,215
Thank you, Ms. Foley.

2024
03:05:23,465 --> 03:05:31,125
So, what other choices of programs, because the no place for hate, according to Superintendent

2025
03:05:31,125 --> 03:05:36,125
Mueller, and looking at your presentation, which I appreciate you completing.

2026
03:05:36,125 --> 03:05:40,285
It goes in line with the code of education, correct?

2027
03:05:40,445 --> 03:05:48,485
I think this code is Section 201 and California Education Code Section 234 and thank you for

2028
03:05:48,485 --> 03:05:50,305
sending this over, Carl.

2029
03:05:51,345 --> 03:05:58,345
That being said, doesn't the DAG also, I mean, wouldn't the DAG serve as the, as what we

2030
03:05:58,345 --> 03:06:04,065
needed instead of a no place for hate because it's giving us the breakdown, it's letting

2031
03:06:04,065 --> 03:06:10,165
the community know that we are taking the serious inclusivity is this

2032
03:06:10,165 --> 03:06:16,005
serious, it's in our, we have a bag for it, and we're passing it out, we're

2033
03:06:16,005 --> 03:06:19,505
going to be ensuring that all families have it, but then going one step further

2034
03:06:19,505 --> 03:06:23,485
for no place for hate, aligning with a political organization, I think that's

2035
03:06:23,485 --> 03:06:29,265
where people are questioning, and then coaching to it or having students

2036
03:06:29,265 --> 03:06:34,525
participate during prime curricular hours, especially during, you know, we're not even

2037
03:06:34,525 --> 03:06:42,065
back 100% students grades are down, we have to remedial students. I mean, we're taking students

2038
03:06:42,065 --> 03:06:45,885
out of a quality classroom and we're, and I think this is where it's getting confusing,

2039
03:06:46,445 --> 03:06:53,125
is then you also have the media talking about critical theory. I mean, it's getting lost because

2040
03:06:53,125 --> 03:06:58,485
it's aligned with a political organization. So don't we have another platform we can utilize to

2041
03:06:58,485 --> 03:07:02,725
solve, or do we already have it, and we're just not utilizing it?

2042
03:07:03,045 --> 03:07:04,005
Thank you, Trustee Kasi.

2043
03:07:05,305 --> 03:07:12,505
The discipline action guide is, you know, it's our policy that we follow if students have an

2044
03:07:12,505 --> 03:07:13,605
infraction.

2045
03:07:13,925 --> 03:07:18,285
And then how we dispense appropriate consequences based off of that infraction.

2046
03:07:18,765 --> 03:07:24,005
It's aligned with California educational code, programs like no place for hate are in response

2047
03:07:24,005 --> 03:07:28,205
to California educational code language that states schools are to take affirmative

2048
03:07:28,205 --> 03:07:35,045
steps to be proactive, to combat racism, bullying, sexism, some of those things, so programs

2049
03:07:35,045 --> 03:07:42,025
like this are the proactive or the affirmative steps, not how we will respond to incidents

2050
03:07:42,025 --> 03:07:48,345
that are in violation of a policy, but how we're being proactive to educate and guide our

2051
03:07:48,345 --> 03:07:57,565
students on communal expectations and kindness to answer your follow-up question, if you're

2052
03:07:57,565 --> 03:08:05,705
asking staff to look at other programs that provide the same types of resources and experiences

2053
03:08:05,705 --> 03:08:10,805
to promote kindness to build positive school culture. That's certainly something that staff

2054
03:08:10,805 --> 03:08:16,705
will look into. I assure you, despite some of the comments that may have been shared

2055
03:08:16,705 --> 03:08:23,265
some of the perceptions that have been shared, the intent of this program was in direct response

2056
03:08:23,265 --> 03:08:31,505
to our community learning that we didn't always have positive school cultures and students

2057
03:08:31,505 --> 03:08:36,565
speaking up and sharing their experiences within our school communities that they didn't always

2058
03:08:36,565 --> 03:08:43,045
feel safe valued and respected while in our care. So we started looking at creating programs

2059
03:08:43,045 --> 03:08:45,925
that specifically addressed those voices.

2060
03:08:46,405 --> 03:08:52,665
And we felt that this because it is present in 42 states over 100 schools here in San

2061
03:08:52,665 --> 03:09:00,105
Diego County that this was a tested program for us to build these experiences by students

2062
03:09:00,105 --> 03:09:01,145
for students.

2063
03:09:01,685 --> 03:09:07,765
I know that no place for hate has a power school website page and that it's shown on

2064
03:09:07,765 --> 03:09:11,965
the side of the high school report, it is not a class, it is not listed as a class.

2065
03:09:11,965 --> 03:09:17,185
They and other clubs do have power school pages for their members.

2066
03:09:17,785 --> 03:09:22,445
If the board is asking us to look at other programs that serve in a similar function,

2067
03:09:22,645 --> 03:09:37,885
that certainly something that we'd be interested in doing, but please trust that the intent behind this was in response to what we're hearing from our students and in response to the directives and the mandates outlined in California educational code.

2068
03:09:37,885 --> 03:09:43,605
I think the concern is, well, there's a handful of them, but the top are, line it's

2069
03:09:43,605 --> 03:09:44,965
aligned to a political organization.

2070
03:09:45,745 --> 03:09:46,425
That is a concern.

2071
03:09:47,525 --> 03:09:53,065
We as a school, if we are going to, you know, we should not be aligned with any type of political

2072
03:09:53,065 --> 03:09:56,245
organization with any of this.

2073
03:09:57,045 --> 03:09:59,105
Also, it also try to tribalizes.

2074
03:09:59,415 --> 03:10:07,255
If a person doesn't want to sign the pledge, and then another student says, no, you need to sign the pledge. Now you're tribalizing them.

2075
03:10:07,575 --> 03:10:13,175
Well, you need to sign the pledge. No, I don't want to sign the pledge. And I understand that, you know, it's not required.

2076
03:10:15,055 --> 03:10:25,555
But students feel as it's required if it's done during school hours. And if you are asked to fill out a form, and you have to fill out the form to the, it's entirety to submit it.

2077
03:10:25,555 --> 03:10:30,595
versus, I'll just fill out my name and how this school can,

2078
03:10:30,655 --> 03:10:32,395
or how the teacher can help me in this class.

2079
03:10:32,815 --> 03:10:35,015
But there's other questions are embedded in there,

2080
03:10:35,415 --> 03:10:37,615
and you can't submit it unless each

2081
03:10:37,615 --> 03:10:40,035
have never wanted those questions were answered

2082
03:10:40,035 --> 03:10:41,875
because I experienced that.

2083
03:10:42,375 --> 03:10:45,575
So I do, I would like, or I would like us

2084
03:10:45,575 --> 03:10:47,915
to follow the education code, absolutely.

2085
03:10:48,175 --> 03:10:50,135
I address the situations that have happened

2086
03:10:50,135 --> 03:10:55,535
in the past, for to ensure that we focus essentially

2087
03:10:55,555 --> 03:10:59,975
on inclusivity. And some in students in fields they could come forward and say something.

2088
03:11:00,355 --> 03:11:05,495
However, using a political organization as our driver in this is a concern. So if we could look

2089
03:11:05,495 --> 03:11:12,015
for other platforms to ensure we follow the education code as well as support inclusivity,

2090
03:11:12,915 --> 03:11:13,835
I move that we do that.

2091
03:11:16,805 --> 03:11:20,485
I would just like to talk for a moment about the work that we have done

2092
03:11:20,485 --> 03:11:25,525
with our multi-tiered systems of supports because I think what we're talking about oftentimes is

2093
03:11:26,365 --> 03:11:31,485
school-wide expectations and and do students understand that it is an

2094
03:11:31,485 --> 03:11:36,805
expectation not only to not run through the lunch tables but is it an

2095
03:11:36,805 --> 03:11:44,765
expectation to be polite or is it an expectation to not have a physical

2096
03:11:44,765 --> 03:11:49,905
confrontation with a peer when you have a conflict? Our our schools we have

2097
03:11:49,905 --> 03:11:54,285
worked for the last three years and both with the learning department and the

2098
03:11:54,285 --> 03:12:00,105
services department in working with small committees of our multi-tiered systems and supports,

2099
03:12:00,425 --> 03:12:08,305
and we focused first on behavior, and then are moving into academic interventions. So a lot

2100
03:12:08,305 --> 03:12:16,645
of the work that is supported by what we're doing in the no-place for hate committees is supplemental

2101
03:12:16,645 --> 03:12:23,405
to the foundational work that is already established with the work that we've done with our

2102
03:12:23,405 --> 03:12:25,065
multi-tier systems to support.

2103
03:12:29,085 --> 03:12:29,865
Ask a question.

2104
03:12:30,325 --> 03:12:30,585
Of course.

2105
03:12:30,825 --> 03:12:32,725
The multi-tier systems to support.

2106
03:12:32,985 --> 03:12:35,405
And we often see the acronym S-E-L.

2107
03:12:35,485 --> 03:12:36,765
What is S-E-L, Stanford?

2108
03:12:37,265 --> 03:12:38,445
Social Emotional Learning.

2109
03:12:38,545 --> 03:12:39,605
Learning so many acronyms.

2110
03:12:40,945 --> 03:12:41,145
Sorry.

2111
03:12:41,645 --> 03:12:46,765
So that has been identified as a driver of academic success.

2112
03:12:47,005 --> 03:12:47,965
Is that fair to say?

2113
03:12:48,085 --> 03:12:48,365
Yes.

2114
03:12:49,245 --> 03:12:51,785
And the tiers that we're implementing,

2115
03:12:52,305 --> 03:12:54,365
I went ahead and googled the pledge.

2116
03:12:55,565 --> 03:12:56,865
Do you mind if I read it?

2117
03:12:56,865 --> 03:13:02,965
I can pass it around if you like, but it's a single flyer, and it says no place for hate promise.

2118
03:13:04,205 --> 03:13:07,885
On the first asterisk reads, I promise to do my best to treat everyone fairly.

2119
03:13:08,685 --> 03:13:13,365
The next one, I promise to do my best to be kind to everyone, even if they are not like me.

2120
03:13:14,285 --> 03:13:17,945
The third is if I see someone being hurt or bullied, I will tell a teacher.

2121
03:13:18,945 --> 03:13:26,325
The fourth is everyone should be able to feel safe and happy at school, and the fifth is I want our school to be no place for hate.

2122
03:13:26,325 --> 03:13:29,925
So that's the pledge that I was able to find quickly.

2123
03:13:30,045 --> 03:13:32,145
Does that sound like when you're talking about?

2124
03:13:32,165 --> 03:13:33,105
That's exactly it.

2125
03:13:33,785 --> 03:13:36,205
I have a similar one that I did the same thing.

2126
03:13:37,925 --> 03:13:40,085
I wanted to see what the language was.

2127
03:13:40,685 --> 03:13:42,985
I promised to do my best to treat everyone fairly.

2128
03:13:43,185 --> 03:13:47,785
I promised to do my best to be kind to everyone, even if they're not like me.

2129
03:13:48,205 --> 03:13:51,245
If I see someone being heard or bullied, I will tell a teacher.

2130
03:13:51,925 --> 03:13:54,625
I will help others to feel safe and happy at school.

2131
03:13:54,625 --> 03:13:59,125
I will be part of making my school no place for hate.

2132
03:13:59,825 --> 03:14:01,845
I don't disagree with that.

2133
03:14:02,225 --> 03:14:05,625
The thing is that parents don't want their kids to sign pledges.

2134
03:14:06,665 --> 03:14:10,945
I mean, why do we have to be supported by the anti-deformation link?

2135
03:14:11,165 --> 03:14:13,405
Can we create that ourselves if we want to?

2136
03:14:14,105 --> 03:14:16,685
But I'm struggling with the anti-deformation link.

2137
03:14:16,825 --> 03:14:18,745
I really am, and getting the material from them.

2138
03:14:18,745 --> 03:14:37,105
First, I believe that we can actually, we can come up with that material ourselves, we have an employee handbook, we have, you know, PhDs, I'm sure we can come up with inclusivity material without including a hyperpartisan political organization.

2139
03:14:41,625 --> 03:14:43,885
Thank you for your questions for Ms. Foley on her report.

2140
03:14:49,165 --> 03:14:51,765
Thank you again for a lucidating.

2141
03:14:52,805 --> 03:14:59,605
This is, I think, for a lot of people coming back to school and seeing the signs all over

2142
03:14:59,605 --> 03:14:59,965
campus.

2143
03:15:00,425 --> 03:15:05,185
No place for hate and, of course, being able to Google and see who is behind this.

2144
03:15:05,185 --> 03:15:09,525
My main concern, and I remember sitting here on the days when we did Sanford Harmony.

2145
03:15:09,525 --> 03:15:14,305
I had questions about Stanford Harmony precisely because of student privacy.

2146
03:15:14,725 --> 03:15:22,205
Aside from the politics of it, you stated that none of our student data, including data

2147
03:15:22,205 --> 03:15:28,305
about demographic, ethnicity, color is shared with this outside organization, is that correct?

2148
03:15:29,665 --> 03:15:32,085
We haven't pushed data out to them.

2149
03:15:32,285 --> 03:15:38,725
If they want to go on data quest, it's on our website, it's on the California, anyone could

2150
03:15:38,725 --> 03:15:40,525
find that it's public information.

2151
03:15:41,225 --> 03:15:43,045
Individual student data is not shared

2152
03:15:43,045 --> 03:15:44,465
with outside organizations.

2153
03:15:45,065 --> 03:15:48,165
So they just have the general dashboard data, Brett.

2154
03:15:48,665 --> 03:15:48,705
Yes.

2155
03:15:48,725 --> 03:15:49,925
That's accessible to anyone.

2156
03:15:51,805 --> 03:15:55,865
So again, it's having the third party organization

2157
03:15:55,865 --> 03:15:56,905
established a curriculum.

2158
03:15:57,165 --> 03:16:01,545
And I understand that it needs a lot of our MTSS goals,

2159
03:16:01,645 --> 03:16:03,205
which is commendable.

2160
03:16:03,785 --> 03:16:06,645
Would it be possible to take a look at other curriculums

2161
03:16:06,645 --> 03:16:08,985
that do that without the political bent.

2162
03:16:09,845 --> 03:16:14,765
I don't know who or what or what entity proposed this organization

2163
03:16:15,265 --> 03:16:17,365
to implement this curriculum at the schools,

2164
03:16:17,925 --> 03:16:22,105
but just a cursory look at who and what is behind the organization.

2165
03:16:23,165 --> 03:16:29,585
I can read you what they say that what the definition of racism is.

2166
03:16:29,585 --> 03:16:32,085
And I quote that it's faced on ideas that quote,

2167
03:16:32,085 --> 03:16:34,845
white people deserve to be in charge and treated better.

2168
03:16:34,845 --> 03:16:39,985
I don't know if you've encountered that language or of children aren't countering that.

2169
03:16:40,485 --> 03:16:52,305
We had a couple of parents take issue with a lot of the critical race theory that has been largely discredited for academic inaccuracies as well.

2170
03:16:52,805 --> 03:17:04,165
So I feel like maybe taking a second look might be prudent, you know, well it's commendable in terms of kindness and equity and non bias and treating everybody with respect.

2171
03:17:04,165 --> 03:17:10,265
perhaps separating the organization from the work that we need to do.

2172
03:17:12,205 --> 03:17:15,205
Thank you, Trustee Valdez Clayton.

2173
03:17:15,405 --> 03:17:22,465
We now have two trustees who have requested a staff report on other campus culture,

2174
03:17:22,665 --> 03:17:26,065
anti-bullying type programs to present to the governing board.

2175
03:17:26,605 --> 03:17:27,445
Is that accurate?

2176
03:17:27,625 --> 03:17:29,125
I have two that have asked very much.

2177
03:17:29,145 --> 03:17:57,565
I think we have to. I mean, does she answer me? Do you want to weigh in? No. No, I mean, I'll weigh in to say that I think it's an excellent program from what I've seen and that when I took my daughter, my daughter was feeling very anxious about starting kindergarten in the fall. And so I went to my silver strength site visit this week. And I took a picture of the no place for hate sign. And I came home and shared it to her and read it to her. And she skipped away. It's that I am no longer worried about kindergarten.

2178
03:17:59,145 --> 03:18:06,065
how nice the the quotes that the students wrote. And so I think so so I I'm I plot the program.

2179
03:18:06,925 --> 03:18:13,005
I know some highly partisan people view it as a partisan organization, but I have reviewed the materials.

2180
03:18:13,645 --> 03:18:18,525
I haven't seen anything other than encouraging kindness and things that I think we all instill in our

2181
03:18:18,525 --> 03:18:20,285
children in what I've observed.

2182
03:18:24,205 --> 03:18:31,285
I don't think highly partisan people looked at the we looked at the

2183
03:18:31,285 --> 03:18:59,705
Again, that's the concern, you know, the inclusivity, kindness, all that absolutely, but being aligned with a political organization as a school K through 12 using material that we have not

2184
03:18:59,705 --> 03:19:04,205
line with a, and that's just my, my personal opinion, but I think that, you know, if it's

2185
03:19:04,205 --> 03:19:08,765
aligned with a political organization, I think that as a school, especially now more than ever,

2186
03:19:09,105 --> 03:19:14,145
we need to be focused on quality curriculum, and I know that some of this is social emotional

2187
03:19:14,145 --> 03:19:19,165
learning. I understand it's the, it's the political ideology that's aligned with it.

2188
03:19:20,465 --> 03:19:24,585
Thank you, Trustee Kesai, and Trustee Baba, it's Clayton. We've, we've heard your requests,

2189
03:19:24,845 --> 03:19:28,765
and if that's the will of the board, we'll bring that information forward. I see,

2190
03:19:29,705 --> 03:19:32,445
That grants and crews, would you share from you, please?

2191
03:19:33,245 --> 03:19:44,745
Well, my nine-year-old granddaughter is involved in this club, and so my experience of what's happening on campus comes from our little nine-year-old heart.

2192
03:19:44,745 --> 03:19:53,205
And what I have seen and what I've heard or described to me is that it's an organization

2193
03:19:54,485 --> 03:20:03,785
that helps children to develop kindness and thoughtfulness and reach out to other students

2194
03:20:03,785 --> 03:20:06,625
who are new and to be kind to them.

2195
03:20:07,125 --> 03:20:12,485
Since she's nine, she doesn't belong to any political organizations, and she doesn't vote yet.

2196
03:20:13,205 --> 03:20:38,545
But what I have seen, as a result of this program, and you know, I'm prejudiced, but she's always been a very kind child, that the kindness has spread to other children, and especially, sometimes children are hesitant to be around children who aren't exactly like them, and so I think that this has helped with that.

2197
03:20:38,545 --> 03:20:47,345
And again, I say, my experience comes through my granddaughter and the way she talks about

2198
03:20:47,345 --> 03:20:55,805
this club and now happy she is with it and how she has noted that her peers appear to be

2199
03:20:55,805 --> 03:21:03,425
kinder and more thoughtful to one another and so I was quite taken aback by the

2200
03:21:06,345 --> 03:21:07,785
passion

2201
03:21:07,785 --> 03:21:16,045
that I heard in the comments from the audience and I'm certainly listening to them and I've recorded some of them.

2202
03:21:16,625 --> 03:21:27,005
And so I don't see anything wrong with looking into other programs, but I also just haven't seen anything wrong with the program that we have.

2203
03:21:27,545 --> 03:21:30,585
It's, uh, you have something else?

2204
03:21:30,965 --> 03:21:35,905
Um, again, the focus is about the students and making sure they feel inclusive.

2205
03:21:36,545 --> 03:21:42,285
And, uh, I just think that having a, again, I'll say it again, just a third party, when we

2206
03:21:42,285 --> 03:21:46,425
have the ability to do it ourselves, and we can look into others, and maybe there's other

2207
03:21:46,425 --> 03:21:52,525
similar to this, and just maybe it's just, if we're using the material, it's, it,

2208
03:21:55,225 --> 03:21:55,225
yeah.

2209
03:21:55,225 --> 03:21:57,625
It's March, did you have something you wanted to add?

2210
03:22:05,595 --> 03:22:13,775
Okay, so I just wanted to give my perspective just thought it might help since I'm a student and I'm on both the equity committee and in the no place for hate committee

2211
03:22:14,875 --> 03:22:17,675
So I do these both just by choice

2212
03:22:18,595 --> 03:22:19,475
They're outside

2213
03:22:19,475 --> 03:22:25,035
I guess you could call them clubs because I've never done any activities in school with no place for hate

2214
03:22:25,035 --> 03:22:27,895
It's all been outside my own time like in the afternoon

2215
03:22:28,895 --> 03:22:30,755
And I totally wasn't aware.

2216
03:22:31,035 --> 03:22:47,355
It was politically affiliated just because the nature of the discussions and all the meetings are very focused on kindness and just having virtue like morals just being kind to your neighbor being kind to other students.

2217
03:22:48,355 --> 03:23:14,215
It promotes really beneficial activities like, for example, for me, I really wish I had known about pronouns now younger, the first time I had heard of pronouns was when I was a sophomore in English class, and so I think that it's really beneficial for students who do identify with pronouns that they weren't given at birth and say they changed their pronouns.

2218
03:23:14,215 --> 03:23:25,475
I think for them because I have a friend specifically who has changed his pronouns and has really struggled in school because no one talks about it and

2219
03:23:25,475 --> 03:23:29,915
No teachers ask or go out of their way to ask what pronouns you go by, so

2220
03:23:29,915 --> 03:23:31,175
He's been

2221
03:23:32,395 --> 03:23:42,175
Mislabeled in all of his classes by all the teachers and continues to be so I think for students like that. It's it's really valuable and especially for students like me who have not changed my pronouns

2222
03:23:42,175 --> 03:23:47,955
But I find it very valuable because it's something I wasn't aware of before.

2223
03:23:48,575 --> 03:23:54,155
And even like in processes like in class or emailing teachers, emailing college admissions

2224
03:23:54,155 --> 03:23:59,095
counselors recently, like adding my pronouns at the end of my name, has given me an edge

2225
03:23:59,095 --> 03:23:59,815
over other people.

2226
03:24:00,075 --> 03:24:07,015
So I think it is really beneficial for students to have access to this information and in a way

2227
03:24:07,015 --> 03:24:13,915
It's not like I don't find it to be overly evasive or like push you.

2228
03:24:14,155 --> 03:24:21,495
I think it's really well presented as it is and I'm totally open to changing the

2229
03:24:21,495 --> 03:24:27,075
programmer like adding more students or whatever we think but I think as of now it's a

2230
03:24:27,075 --> 03:24:33,255
really great program so yeah just thought I didn't ask you a question.

2231
03:24:33,255 --> 03:24:40,135
Yeah, yeah, yeah, did you do an activity in which you chose your pronouns during this no place for hate club?

2232
03:24:40,655 --> 03:24:44,495
So yes during the class we were at a couple of occasions

2233
03:24:44,495 --> 03:24:49,175
We were given the opportunity to add in our pronouns in our Zoom like names

2234
03:24:49,855 --> 03:24:54,715
And we've definitely done activities to discuss it. Oh, and for the survey

2235
03:24:54,715 --> 03:24:59,115
I did want to address this too. So the like Tiger teams that were put into

2236
03:24:59,145 --> 03:25:07,325
Thank you for the equity committee for the students. We were given access to the survey, and it was just us group

2237
03:25:07,325 --> 03:25:25,045
students. It's a couple of little schoolers and then me and a couple of high schoolers. And we got to review it and add in questions that we thought were necessary to add into the survey. And we decided as students in discussion that it would be, we haven't, the survey hasn't been submitted or put out anywhere.

2238
03:25:25,045 --> 03:25:29,845
but we thought it would be super beneficial to have it during school hours just because

2239
03:25:30,385 --> 03:25:36,145
a lot of students, we feel that a lot of students won't take the time to go out of their way

2240
03:25:36,145 --> 03:25:42,145
and block this survey which, it might not be necessary to push on to all students and we totally think it should be optional.

2241
03:25:43,105 --> 03:25:49,245
But we thought it would be really important because even as I was reading the survey questions, there were so many things that I never even thought of.

2242
03:25:49,845 --> 03:25:53,985
That I found to be super valuable even just to ask myself these questions if I didn't know the answer to them.

2243
03:25:53,985 --> 03:25:55,585
like what kind of questions.

2244
03:25:56,345 --> 03:26:04,745
I'm asking what pronouns you prefer or things of that nature, do you feel comfortable in your classroom?

2245
03:26:05,205 --> 03:26:08,605
Just checking in on students who might not feel comfortable

2246
03:26:08,605 --> 03:26:14,625
and I know of students who do feel not uncomfortable

2247
03:26:14,625 --> 03:26:16,485
but feel misunderstood in classrooms.

2248
03:26:16,665 --> 03:26:23,805
So I think for them specifically it's super important just to give them the opportunity to answer that in a survey if they would like to.

2249
03:26:25,205 --> 03:26:25,985
Thank you.

2250
03:26:26,185 --> 03:26:26,265
Thank you.

2251
03:26:26,265 --> 03:26:26,445
Thank you.

2252
03:26:30,045 --> 03:26:32,905
We need to sum this up pretty quick out here.

2253
03:26:33,025 --> 03:26:34,825
I had another question.

2254
03:26:35,045 --> 03:26:35,785
Go ahead.

2255
03:26:36,945 --> 03:26:38,685
Again, thank you so much Kelly.

2256
03:26:39,205 --> 03:26:41,025
So we just heard from our student representative.

2257
03:26:41,305 --> 03:26:42,985
This isn't just about kindness.

2258
03:26:43,285 --> 03:26:47,225
Now, it's about sexual identity, gender identity and pronouns for students.

2259
03:26:48,205 --> 03:26:52,805
That's pretty clear where you will wear of that, or where you just focused on the kindness portion,

2260
03:26:52,805 --> 03:26:56,765
or what the MTSS portion?

2261
03:26:57,625 --> 03:27:06,865
So that activity was an activity specifically for our middle and high school students, learning

2262
03:27:06,865 --> 03:27:10,665
about themselves and how do they identify?

2263
03:27:11,305 --> 03:27:13,945
So that was a separate activity.

2264
03:27:15,745 --> 03:27:16,945
Thank you.

2265
03:27:18,625 --> 03:27:19,605
Anybody else?

2266
03:27:20,665 --> 03:27:21,385
All right, Ms. Kuzai.

2267
03:27:23,005 --> 03:27:31,505
It's focused on training, focusing on color, identity, gender identity, and religious focuses.

2268
03:27:32,205 --> 03:27:35,645
And the trainings that are provided are focused in those various areas.

2269
03:27:37,805 --> 03:27:42,665
There's students out there that are comfortable with this, and there's parents out there, not comfortable with this,

2270
03:27:42,665 --> 03:27:48,625
a number of on number of platforms and students that aren't comfortable with it

2271
03:27:48,625 --> 03:27:53,165
won't speak up so now we're excluding students because they're maybe they're

2272
03:27:53,165 --> 03:27:57,165
not comfortable filling out the paper to the form and if if they're doing

2273
03:27:57,165 --> 03:28:02,925
this during the class time versus doing it with your send it to the parents first

2274
03:28:02,925 --> 03:28:06,705
send any type of surveys to the parents before you send it to the student or send

2275
03:28:06,705 --> 03:28:11,225
it to the parents to say with your student fill out the surveys and the reason

2276
03:28:11,225 --> 03:28:16,625
being is that I think parents feel that we're getting further and further away from really

2277
03:28:16,625 --> 03:28:18,165
understanding what's going on in school.

2278
03:28:19,945 --> 03:28:25,425
Because we are looking up this information, community members are looking up this information.

2279
03:28:26,085 --> 03:28:29,525
And now it's being uncovered that it's more than just about being kind.

2280
03:28:30,345 --> 03:28:35,305
And I think that's where, and we all agree about inclusivity, but we can't exclude people

2281
03:28:35,305 --> 03:28:36,645
while we're trying to include.

2282
03:28:37,305 --> 03:28:44,325
And I kind of sense that that's that's what's happening with this with this no place for hate and going back and looking at other platforms

2283
03:28:44,965 --> 03:28:51,645
I believe would be very helpful because we all want the same goal we're all there for the same every child every day.

2284
03:28:53,145 --> 03:29:00,645
But we want to lose children along the way when when focusing on yeah thank you.

2285
03:29:02,345 --> 03:29:08,105
Mr. President, unless you have a question, we still have to delve on the equity update.

2286
03:29:10,025 --> 03:29:11,425
We've already covered that.

2287
03:29:11,825 --> 03:29:12,505
Oh, did we?

2288
03:29:12,685 --> 03:29:12,925
I'm sorry.

2289
03:29:13,105 --> 03:29:13,685
You don't have one.

2290
03:29:13,805 --> 03:29:14,305
I have one question.

2291
03:29:14,725 --> 03:29:14,945
Okay.

2292
03:29:15,785 --> 03:29:16,025
Okay.

2293
03:29:16,445 --> 03:29:20,165
Now moving along with from the no place for hate.

2294
03:29:20,545 --> 03:29:21,765
I'm going to finish up no place for hate, then.

2295
03:29:21,805 --> 03:29:22,225
Yes.

2296
03:29:22,225 --> 03:29:22,805
Oh, please.

2297
03:29:23,285 --> 03:29:23,545
Go on.

2298
03:29:25,965 --> 03:29:30,105
I think I've heard enough for me.

2299
03:29:30,105 --> 03:29:34,625
that I'm not really willing to throw the baby out of the bathwater quite yet.

2300
03:29:35,485 --> 03:29:38,545
I'm not willing to check no place for hate at this moment.

2301
03:29:39,065 --> 03:29:48,025
But I think to there's been enough concerns that we at least need to vet it a little bit better.

2302
03:29:48,445 --> 03:29:54,765
And maybe look at and compare it in other ways to ensure that we are not crossing any lines.

2303
03:29:54,765 --> 03:29:59,985
say we are that no place for hate is in compliance with California

2304
03:29:59,985 --> 03:30:06,425
code and other things and that if it's a club that's it is a club and it's

2305
03:30:06,425 --> 03:30:11,545
not you know I'm not I can't from what I've heard not sure it's not bleeding

2306
03:30:11,545 --> 03:30:16,365
over into a classroom here and there so I think we just need to vet the

2307
03:30:16,365 --> 03:30:24,065
program to see what where really is I'm a little bit I have a little bit of a

2308
03:30:24,065 --> 03:30:31,605
in each corner there. So that would be my proposal to the board that we give guidance to the

2309
03:30:31,605 --> 03:30:38,345
superintendent to get the no place for hate program that we currently use not to throw it out

2310
03:30:38,345 --> 03:30:47,085
immediately but to compare it to Ed code to make sure everything that is in there is legal that we're

2311
03:30:47,085 --> 03:30:53,305
not crossing any boundaries as far as political organizations or things like that and bring that back

2312
03:30:54,305 --> 03:30:56,505
before the next school year.

2313
03:30:56,505 --> 03:30:58,085
Can I add something to that, man?

2314
03:30:58,825 --> 03:30:59,245
Go ahead.

2315
03:31:00,085 --> 03:31:06,385
While looking in vetting the program, maybe looking at other programs, that can also support education code.

2316
03:31:07,625 --> 03:31:12,045
Because if the program comes where we're saying, well, we didn't really know this,

2317
03:31:12,225 --> 03:31:14,945
then at least we've already taken the initiative to look at other opportunities,

2318
03:31:15,985 --> 03:31:17,265
alignment with other programs.

2319
03:31:18,005 --> 03:31:20,625
Do we need to do that before we vet this program?

2320
03:31:20,765 --> 03:31:22,745
I wish it could be done at the same time.

2321
03:31:22,745 --> 03:31:23,445
No,

2322
03:31:30,605 --> 03:31:35,725
what's it so we're doing what business right now public comments requires thank you though, and all I mean

2323
03:31:35,725 --> 03:31:40,945
I guess to concern again if it's a club then why are administrators running it that's what we're gonna

2324
03:31:40,945 --> 03:31:46,245
That's gonna find out we've got it. We've got to get more information forms have to be filled up to its entirety

2325
03:31:47,765 --> 03:31:48,805
I actually

2326
03:31:49,725 --> 03:31:52,725
Got I see I was passing email that

2327
03:31:52,725 --> 03:31:55,205
that Mr. Schmeichel said it wasn't a club.

2328
03:31:56,445 --> 03:31:59,085
So there's obviously some disconnect with administrators,

2329
03:31:59,765 --> 03:32:00,725
how to deliver this.

2330
03:32:01,245 --> 03:32:03,905
And what reward are we getting by participating in this?

2331
03:32:04,085 --> 03:32:05,465
Are we getting any financial,

2332
03:32:06,085 --> 03:32:08,105
but if we hit that designation, which we have?

2333
03:32:08,545 --> 03:32:10,825
All the information that when we've got the program

2334
03:32:10,825 --> 03:32:13,465
and the different interviewer can come back and answer,

2335
03:32:14,125 --> 03:32:16,105
he's got a list of the questions that have been asked,

2336
03:32:16,385 --> 03:32:20,025
come back to us and give us precisely

2337
03:32:20,025 --> 03:32:21,545
where this program is right now.

2338
03:32:21,545 --> 03:32:23,505
And would you make a good decision for me?

2339
03:32:23,525 --> 03:32:27,445
If I want to make a comment, I'm saving here right now.

2340
03:32:27,945 --> 03:32:29,125
Just realizing that there was...

2341
03:32:29,145 --> 03:32:38,585
Some administrator that approved this to a goalable community, that we had our best interest in sending

2342
03:32:38,585 --> 03:32:45,325
our children to get an academic education and they come back, teaching them the pronouns

2343
03:32:45,325 --> 03:32:52,665
causing confusion to sway without their parental consent, possibly or information. We just heard

2344
03:32:52,665 --> 03:32:59,645
parents right now that didn't even know about this? I am just outraged. I'm outraged.

2345
03:32:59,645 --> 03:33:00,045
I'm outraged.

2346
03:33:07,115 --> 03:33:11,815
Was it that a trusty right now, can pull it up on her phone right now?

2347
03:33:11,895 --> 03:33:15,675
Immediately at the pledge. And all this background data of this organization

2348
03:33:15,675 --> 03:33:19,555
that has existed for over 50 years. We can do better.

2349
03:33:20,015 --> 03:33:20,875
Exactly. This is outrageous.

2350
03:33:24,205 --> 03:33:24,405
Sorry.

2351
03:33:27,645 --> 03:33:31,985
Are we happy with the guidance to give the superintendent an opportunity

2352
03:33:33,045 --> 03:33:37,425
to refuse some of the things that have been said and come back to us at the complete report

2353
03:33:37,425 --> 03:33:40,645
and exactly where this program falls from what has been said.

2354
03:33:42,565 --> 03:33:42,585
Yes.

2355
03:33:42,585 --> 03:33:43,665
And all of your comments.

2356
03:33:43,945 --> 03:33:44,325
Other programs.

2357
03:33:44,585 --> 03:33:45,325
This one.

2358
03:33:45,545 --> 03:33:50,225
He's obviously going to need more than the next two weeks to the next meeting to do that.

2359
03:33:50,405 --> 03:33:50,585
Okay.

2360
03:33:51,145 --> 03:33:56,345
Well, as long as we have it, we can make a decision before the start of the next school year.

2361
03:33:56,825 --> 03:34:01,425
And it needs to be announced that parents, you do not have to have your child participate.

2362
03:34:01,425 --> 03:34:08,465
You don't have to, and your child will not have punitive action if they're not comfortable, and it should not be done during school.

2363
03:34:08,605 --> 03:34:09,805
It should be done after school.

2364
03:34:10,065 --> 03:34:11,245
I know what it should be co-host.

2365
03:34:11,885 --> 03:34:12,485
Thank you.

2366
03:34:12,925 --> 03:34:13,565
Every opportunity

2367
03:34:18,645 --> 03:34:25,105
to bring those concerns to the superintendent and reinforce those statements.

2368
03:34:26,985 --> 03:34:27,325
All right.

2369
03:34:27,425 --> 03:34:29,845
Does everybody good with the guidance that we have?

2370
03:34:29,925 --> 03:34:30,425
Thank you.

2371
03:34:30,565 --> 03:34:30,865
All right.

2372
03:34:31,125 --> 03:34:31,805
Then we're closing.

2373
03:34:32,285 --> 03:34:34,025
No place right is close for tonight.

2374
03:34:34,585 --> 03:34:37,325
Thank you, once again, everybody, for bringing your comments.

2375
03:34:38,885 --> 03:34:39,145
Equity.

2376
03:34:40,905 --> 03:34:42,285
I do need a break first.

2377
03:34:44,305 --> 03:34:46,345
Let's do equity because I don't want to be around that.

2378
03:34:46,345 --> 03:34:49,205
So I've set on a couple of the equity task committees.

2379
03:34:53,975 --> 03:34:59,215
And can you help me or help the community understand what, what are the actual,

2380
03:34:59,215 --> 03:35:09,375
defineable goals for the equity task committee because I sat on them and I see that it is it is not really focusing on the

2381
03:35:11,475 --> 03:35:17,685
The I mean hold up sorry I know there's supplemental material professional development

2382
03:35:17,685 --> 03:35:25,045
I was in the breakout room with the subcommittee of the teachers and the teachers were looking at it was more very softball

2383
03:35:25,045 --> 03:35:27,905
It wasn't you know, I can pull it up

2384
03:35:27,905 --> 03:35:30,165
on what their initiatives were.

2385
03:35:30,325 --> 03:35:34,985
It was more, what are other schools using for supplemental material

2386
03:35:34,985 --> 03:35:36,325
through an equity lens?

2387
03:35:36,985 --> 03:35:40,965
It wasn't anything about solving and resolving our decent F's.

2388
03:35:40,985 --> 03:35:44,865
It wasn't anything about the students who are struggling in class,

2389
03:35:45,105 --> 03:35:47,045
the minority students or the disability students.

2390
03:35:47,265 --> 03:35:48,605
It had nothing to do with that.

2391
03:35:48,605 --> 03:35:51,785
It was very much, and it has been through the times

2392
03:35:51,785 --> 03:35:53,625
that I've been on the committee.

2393
03:35:53,805 --> 03:35:56,045
It's very much driven through critical theory.

2394
03:35:56,485 --> 03:35:56,865
It is.

2395
03:35:56,865 --> 03:35:58,785
And I'm concerned about it.

2396
03:35:58,825 --> 03:36:03,245
I've watched a couple of, and I've read through all the PowerPoint presentations.

2397
03:36:04,385 --> 03:36:09,585
And I don't think we created a solution, and now we're in search of our problem.

2398
03:36:10,305 --> 03:36:14,285
Because I don't, can you tell us the top three goals you've been able to achieve through the last seven meetings?

2399
03:36:14,765 --> 03:36:18,465
So, Ms. Foley, do you mind if I address the trusty comments on this?

2400
03:36:18,645 --> 03:36:22,185
Call you back up if we need additional support. Thank you.

2401
03:36:22,185 --> 03:36:29,145
I think you may be disappointed in the response to that, trusty, because I, the board approved

2402
03:36:29,785 --> 03:36:31,545
board policy 0415.

2403
03:36:32,385 --> 03:36:39,465
It is the direction from the board was for staff to ensure adherence to board policy 0415.

2404
03:36:40,125 --> 03:36:43,065
That is independent of a committee that was established.

2405
03:36:43,745 --> 03:36:51,985
I heard on this dius from the governing board that establishing a community committee on equity

2406
03:36:51,985 --> 03:37:00,625
was a mistake. Why are we involving shareholders and conversations about this topic? We decided

2407
03:37:00,625 --> 03:37:06,205
as a staff to create an equity committee to bring voices into the room. We asked for volunteer

2408
03:37:06,205 --> 03:37:11,725
students, parents, and staff. We solicited people including who are in this room that didn't

2409
03:37:11,725 --> 03:37:18,125
volunteer to be a part of that committee, so we had a balanced representation. We knew going into

2410
03:37:18,125 --> 03:37:24,165
that discussion that this was about dialogue in response to information that was coming to us

2411
03:37:24,165 --> 03:37:26,645
from shareholders and members of our community.

2412
03:37:27,285 --> 03:37:32,045
The trustees that were here during the summer are well aware of those voices and the

2413
03:37:32,045 --> 03:37:36,965
petitions that we were responding to that said, we need dialogue, we need a voice, we need

2414
03:37:36,965 --> 03:37:42,785
opportunities to talk about the culture and the community on our school campuses.

2415
03:37:42,785 --> 03:37:51,285
We looked at, we need to ensure that our students feel trusted, valued, and safe while on our campus.

2416
03:37:52,245 --> 03:37:57,165
And we decided to bring in the voices from the community to be a part of those conversations.

2417
03:37:57,905 --> 03:38:03,145
Again, independent of the board policy that we're hired to enforce.

2418
03:38:03,145 --> 03:38:16,545
So when Trustee Valdez Claynass about what are we doing in response to our dashboard numbers as it relates to a certain subgroup and demographic, that is nothing to do with the equity committee.

2419
03:38:17,025 --> 03:38:23,405
That has alignment to BP-0415, goal action item number one.

2420
03:38:24,485 --> 03:38:29,565
When I'm asked by community members, show me the data that demands that we have this equity committee.

2421
03:38:29,565 --> 03:38:31,545
They're going to be disappointed.

2422
03:38:32,305 --> 03:38:38,605
Our Equity Committee was designed for dialogue among shareholders in areas that were brought

2423
03:38:38,605 --> 03:38:43,265
to our attention from our students, our parents, and members of our community.

2424
03:38:43,985 --> 03:38:51,605
Every goal, every intent, was to bring a diverse and well-rounded group of varying perspectives

2425
03:38:51,605 --> 03:38:57,785
in to have conversations about things that were brought to our attention during that summer.

2426
03:38:57,785 --> 03:39:04,585
The governing board approved a two year consulting contract with the San Diego County Office of Education.

2427
03:39:05,625 --> 03:39:10,925
They do not have the authority and this committee does not have the authority to change our curriculum.

2428
03:39:11,805 --> 03:39:19,925
To adopt textbooks, to introduce critical race theory to kindergarteners as was suggested this evening.

2429
03:39:20,905 --> 03:39:23,445
This is a committee that looks at four areas.

2430
03:39:23,445 --> 03:39:28,005
our students are looking at positive school culture, middle school and high school students.

2431
03:39:30,065 --> 03:39:35,705
Good. That's a great thing. Our teachers are looking at professional development. They're looking

2432
03:39:35,705 --> 03:39:42,285
at supplemental instructional materials. We have board policy that says supplemental instructional

2433
03:39:42,285 --> 03:39:47,545
materials have to be aligned to the California state standards, have to be age appropriate,

2434
03:39:47,545 --> 03:39:50,085
it, and have to be approved by Site Administration.

2435
03:39:51,585 --> 03:39:54,285
This committee does not trump our board policy.

2436
03:39:54,285 --> 03:39:59,105
The parents and the parent group Tiger Team was looking at communication as a...

2437
03:39:59,145 --> 03:40:10,305
It relates to our discipline action guide. Not how many suspensions we have, not how many incidents of hate have been reported. That's the work of our staff. That's not the work of this committee.

2438
03:40:11,285 --> 03:40:22,705
I regret that across the board the entire spectrum this committee has been politicized. It's led to discussions and arguments here that have inflated the role of that committee.

2439
03:40:22,705 --> 03:40:29,825
This was a platform for dialogue and it has been all along and we haven't wavered from that

2440
03:40:30,785 --> 03:40:37,145
The board adopted and a policy zero four one five. It is our responsibility

2441
03:40:37,785 --> 03:40:43,365
To align our efforts to meet that board policy and report back to the governing board period

2442
03:40:43,365 --> 03:40:50,645
Anything above and beyond that we're opportunities for us to solicit dialogue among shareholders who said

2443
03:40:50,645 --> 03:40:55,725
we're not talking about these things in our community, we're not talking about these things at our school.

2444
03:40:57,045 --> 03:41:02,705
There is no agenda being driven. There is no shifts or changes to our curriculum.

2445
03:41:02,925 --> 03:41:05,005
We're not getting rid of math and science.

2446
03:41:05,985 --> 03:41:11,365
We're providing a platform for people who express interest in discussing these things to discuss these things.

2447
03:41:11,865 --> 03:41:15,425
And at the end of the day, that's what this is about.

2448
03:41:16,065 --> 03:41:18,165
And I don't disagree with you.

2449
03:41:18,465 --> 03:41:22,745
I was on this subcommittee for the teachers and the teachers are looking up supplemental

2450
03:41:22,745 --> 03:41:23,425
material.

2451
03:41:23,545 --> 03:41:31,585
It's at their discretion because as we know, teachers have a wide lens of to utilize supplemental

2452
03:41:31,585 --> 03:41:32,145
material.

2453
03:41:32,325 --> 03:41:38,105
And I think that's where the concern is coming in from the community, from others that

2454
03:41:38,105 --> 03:41:38,885
wait a second.

2455
03:41:39,965 --> 03:41:43,965
And I did sit on there and that one of their goals is to look at supplemental material and

2456
03:41:43,965 --> 03:41:44,685
what does that mean?

2457
03:41:44,685 --> 03:41:49,045
and what does it mean as it relates to the equity task committee and when you go back to

2458
03:41:49,045 --> 03:41:53,725
the equity task committee, then you start reading through it. What is it like? What supplement

2459
03:41:53,725 --> 03:41:59,525
a material they're going to bring in? There's a lot of way in questions. And I do, if we can,

2460
03:42:00,005 --> 03:42:06,165
I know, I know those are all via Zoom. Can't we have those lifted and put on the website next

2461
03:42:06,165 --> 03:42:08,985
to next to the PowerPoints?

2462
03:42:09,125 --> 03:42:11,785
I'm now to be candid.

2463
03:42:11,945 --> 03:42:18,985
I'm weighing if this committee intended to promote dialogue

2464
03:42:19,585 --> 03:42:24,605
is creating the type of community division that I'm hearing,

2465
03:42:25,465 --> 03:42:28,845
then we don't have to have a committee to adhere to board policy.

2466
03:42:29,125 --> 03:42:31,285
We didn't have to have a safety committee in response

2467
03:42:31,285 --> 03:42:32,265
to the Parkland shooting,

2468
03:42:32,425 --> 03:42:34,745
but our community wanted to talk about school safety.

2469
03:42:34,745 --> 03:42:48,205
So we had a committee. This is not a governing committee that sets action of the governing board only the governing board does that so when I heard discussions in the professional development group

2470
03:42:48,205 --> 03:42:53,765
I heard can we introduce some James Baldwin into our literature class?

2471
03:42:53,765 --> 03:43:02,325
I didn't hear let's pound our students with critical race theory or any polarizing ideology.

2472
03:43:03,065 --> 03:43:11,545
I heard how can we supplement with what we're currently doing with a diverse lens and a diverse perspective.

2473
03:43:11,945 --> 03:43:15,205
And James Baldwin was the conversation I heard a part of.

2474
03:43:15,485 --> 03:43:19,665
Not teaching our kids how to think, not taking power or authority away from our parents.

2475
03:43:20,385 --> 03:43:25,925
So, I actually am channeling the comments from the governing board when we said we'd like

2476
03:43:25,925 --> 03:43:33,325
to establish this community committee to have dialogue, we were cautioned against doing that.

2477
03:43:33,685 --> 03:43:38,085
And I regret that we're aware we're at today because this was intended to be a platform

2478
03:43:38,085 --> 03:43:43,625
for conversations about our students feeling safe and valued and respected well in our care.

2479
03:43:43,625 --> 03:43:52,545
period. And that's what I believe we're attempting to do. The staff took the board policy

2480
03:43:52,545 --> 03:43:58,605
and this was the approach that we wanted to take. It was a two year journey. We've completed

2481
03:43:58,605 --> 03:44:04,765
ten months or nine months of that journey to date. We have not proposed shifts to curriculum.

2482
03:44:05,165 --> 03:44:12,085
We have not proposed new textbook adoptions and we have not drastically changed what we've done

2483
03:44:12,085 --> 03:44:16,045
as a result of this group so far as we've taken a critical look at our discipline action

2484
03:44:16,045 --> 03:44:19,665
guide and made some changes that everyone on this board agreed to.

2485
03:44:20,025 --> 03:44:24,545
And we're having a student group look critically at the cultures on their on their campus

2486
03:44:24,545 --> 03:44:29,805
and asking how they can get a broader voice and representation from their peers.

2487
03:44:31,765 --> 03:44:37,965
I'm going to regroup with my staff and really revisit the purpose and the why behind

2488
03:44:37,965 --> 03:44:42,205
this committee, because it isn't healthy, we're not modeling healthy things or appropriate

2489
03:44:42,205 --> 03:44:49,925
things for our students. And if we have lost sight of why we have this committee and need

2490
03:44:49,925 --> 03:44:55,425
to refocus our efforts just on BP, 0, 4, 1, 5, then that will be the direction that staff

2491
03:44:55,425 --> 03:44:58,305
takes and bring that back to the governing board.

2492
03:45:07,665 --> 03:45:10,025
I think this is an important moment.

2493
03:45:10,845 --> 03:45:15,285
I think we are having an uncomfortable conversation that a lot of the rest of our country

2494
03:45:15,285 --> 03:45:17,805
is avoiding by staying in their separate corners.

2495
03:45:18,565 --> 03:45:19,305
And it's hard.

2496
03:45:19,425 --> 03:45:22,585
It's hard to feel uncomfortable, but you've opened my eyes to things I hadn't thought

2497
03:45:22,585 --> 03:45:23,125
of.

2498
03:45:23,485 --> 03:45:28,865
Things we need to look into, things we need to consider, but we and because of the committee

2499
03:45:28,865 --> 03:45:39,365
And the diverse voices on it having these hard conversations because we are a unique community that wants to respect each other and wants to listen to how others want to be treated.

2500
03:45:39,985 --> 03:45:49,965
It's not about what we're hearing anywhere else, but rather how do we take care of each other and feel respected and valued and a community of love.

2501
03:45:50,445 --> 03:45:55,745
And that's what we want to be and I think as hard as it is, it's okay for us to feel uncomfortable.

2502
03:45:55,745 --> 03:46:03,465
we are grown-ups. We can feel uncomfortable. No one should ever feel unsafe. And if that means

2503
03:46:03,465 --> 03:46:10,825
they want to be called Mr. Pickle Pants. Okay, I'll call you that, but I think that this work

2504
03:46:10,825 --> 03:46:18,125
is super important and powerful that we are having these conversations and I think we are modeling

2505
03:46:18,125 --> 03:46:23,065
good things for our children because we're discussing them civilly. We're agreeing with one another,

2506
03:46:23,065 --> 03:46:28,205
we're opening each other's eyes, in a way that doesn't happen when we stay in our separate

2507
03:46:28,205 --> 03:46:35,785
corners. And so I appreciate the opportunity. I appreciate all your insight. I'm eager

2508
03:46:35,785 --> 03:46:40,625
to keep doing this work and to learn more. And to make sure we are on the same page because

2509
03:46:40,625 --> 03:46:42,425
we know we're all here for the same reasons.

2510
03:46:44,345 --> 03:46:49,005
That was always the intent that Superintendent Miller at the point he was trying to make was

2511
03:46:49,005 --> 03:46:52,785
to let those stakeholders hash it out, just as you said,

2512
03:46:53,005 --> 03:46:56,045
Ms. Andrewman, and then at the end of that two years,

2513
03:46:57,005 --> 03:47:01,325
they bring something back to us ideas that they had,

2514
03:47:01,625 --> 03:47:02,945
suggestions for improvements,

2515
03:47:03,765 --> 03:47:05,765
things that they might want to see change.

2516
03:47:06,425 --> 03:47:10,905
At that particular time, would be when implementation

2517
03:47:10,905 --> 03:47:13,145
would happen if at all.

2518
03:47:13,305 --> 03:47:16,045
And the superintendent Miller said, board policy is set.

2519
03:47:16,585 --> 03:47:18,165
We asked them to look at board policy,

2520
03:47:18,165 --> 03:47:24,905
and come back to us to make sure we had it right and how do we enforce it equitably.

2521
03:47:27,225 --> 03:47:27,745
So...

2522
03:47:29,145 --> 03:47:37,745
That's what I'm waiting for. I'm willing to wait the two years for the committee to do their work and then I'll hear their report and we'll hear all the conversation.

2523
03:47:38,745 --> 03:47:40,065
There shouldn't be anything.

2524
03:47:41,505 --> 03:47:44,825
Teacher shouldn't be changing the curriculum based on what the committee says. That's for sure.

2525
03:47:45,265 --> 03:47:49,145
If they are, then that's as simple as you for super-denumular right there.

2526
03:47:49,585 --> 03:47:53,425
But that's where I am on this. I mean, I'm waiting for whatever.

2527
03:47:53,425 --> 03:48:01,405
I think the concern is one, the cost, the wasted money for a two-year discussion, and the

2528
03:48:01,405 --> 03:48:09,225
other is, as being, the direction is being taken from SDCOE.

2529
03:48:09,665 --> 03:48:14,945
If we as a community need to have these discussion points and have this dialogue absolutely,

2530
03:48:15,425 --> 03:48:20,745
but to have it directed by an outside party, San Diego County of Education, that's how this

2531
03:48:28,365 --> 03:48:55,745
When staff made the determination to form and establish a committee of shareholders that represented our community, and differing perspectives, we felt as a staff that we would benefit from facilitators, outside of our roles, outside of our community,

2532
03:48:55,745 --> 03:49:01,185
that have experienced in facilitating this work to support us in those efforts.

2533
03:49:01,765 --> 03:49:05,765
We brought that request in front of the board and gained approval.

2534
03:49:06,565 --> 03:49:14,185
So that $30,000 was a decision made by staff to bring in a third party to help facilitate

2535
03:49:14,185 --> 03:49:15,885
these very difficult conversations.

2536
03:49:16,785 --> 03:49:19,045
And I stand by that.

2537
03:49:19,045 --> 03:49:40,145
We have a two-year contract with the SDCOE, and again, their role in their effort is to help us facilitate, they do not dictate, determine, or guide our course of action or anything that this governing board would have opportunities to deliberate and vote upon.

2538
03:49:41,445 --> 03:49:46,725
But they can persuade the attendees of the meeting.

2539
03:49:47,605 --> 03:49:57,815
So because it's how about we let the recordings sit on our website so that the community

2540
03:49:57,815 --> 03:50:04,795
can see so that you're presenting your reasons of why and they have a better understanding

2541
03:50:04,795 --> 03:50:08,895
of what's really being discussed rather than just seeing PowerPoint presentations.

2542
03:50:09,615 --> 03:50:15,435
Because that may be the disconnect of the communication tool back and forth.

2543
03:50:16,375 --> 03:50:23,875
You know, I would want to ensure that everyone that serves on that committee would be comfortable having their themselves recorded and put in front of the community.

2544
03:50:24,135 --> 03:50:29,115
Understanding that this has become politicized in Coronado and that it has become contentious.

2545
03:50:29,775 --> 03:50:34,415
I don't know that I would want the 14 year olds who serve on that committee to feel that pressure.

2546
03:50:35,795 --> 03:50:49,915
I'm wanting to stick by a Y staff recommended the expenditure for a facilitator and trust that we're not going to bring anything before this board that has been influenced by a third party.

2547
03:50:50,615 --> 03:50:57,215
They are helping us facilitate these difficult conversations that we've witnessed at this board meeting in previous board meeting.

2548
03:50:58,155 --> 03:51:03,335
Can we agree that no surveys will be sent out directly to students?

2549
03:51:03,335 --> 03:51:05,415
They should be set out to parents first.

2550
03:51:06,155 --> 03:51:07,555
Staff will review any surveys.

2551
03:51:08,295 --> 03:51:10,875
And if it's facilitated during the instructional day,

2552
03:51:10,955 --> 03:51:13,695
then it has to be a staff facilitated survey.

2553
03:51:14,115 --> 03:51:19,975
I think it's wonderful that the students are creating the survey.

2554
03:51:20,155 --> 03:51:22,415
We are not going to push this out during second period

2555
03:51:22,415 --> 03:51:26,175
and use instructional time if it isn't something

2556
03:51:26,175 --> 03:51:29,735
that the administration or the district has endorsed or supported.

2557
03:51:29,735 --> 03:51:36,855
This was a recommendation, as Ms. Morris just shared, that it would be helpful because they would have more participation.

2558
03:51:37,995 --> 03:51:42,515
So, this is one of the efforts of their tiger team, and I support it.

2559
03:51:43,655 --> 03:51:51,595
And, you know, we are going to adhere to our responsibility of instructional minutes and that anything presented to our students.

2560
03:51:51,595 --> 03:51:56,595
I don't want any of our students feeling coerced into signing a document.

2561
03:51:57,255 --> 03:52:01,715
And I will look into some of the concerns that were raised by our community and by our

2562
03:52:01,715 --> 03:52:02,875
governing board tonight.

2563
03:52:04,235 --> 03:52:09,215
That being said, I applaud the efforts of the students on this Tiger Team and their bravery

2564
03:52:09,215 --> 03:52:12,995
for enduring some of these very uncomfortable conversations.

2565
03:52:13,295 --> 03:52:16,355
They've demonstrated a remarkable level of maturity.

2566
03:52:20,005 --> 03:52:31,565
I want to agree with everything that you mentioned on, this is just a committee, it's only a committee, let's not enlarge it as to what it can and cannot do.

2567
03:52:31,925 --> 03:52:42,045
We're ultimately going to supervise the superintendent's actions as our sole employee of the governing board.

2568
03:52:42,045 --> 03:52:51,805
But I do want to mention and reiterate some of the comments that we heard tonight regarding critical race theory.

2569
03:52:52,085 --> 03:52:54,885
I think the division isn't within our community.

2570
03:52:55,705 --> 03:52:57,145
It's not neighbor against neighbor.

2571
03:52:57,225 --> 03:53:02,705
It's coming from this, this introduction of these ideas from what I sat through.

2572
03:53:03,205 --> 03:53:09,545
And two of my fellow board members, we sat through presentation from the San Diego County Office of Education,

2573
03:53:09,545 --> 03:53:13,725
where they started off right away and I was even joking about it they're going to start right

2574
03:53:13,725 --> 03:53:19,885
away with critical race theory. America's institutionalized racism and America has deep-rooted

2575
03:53:19,885 --> 03:53:26,645
racism at its court. That was literally almost paraphrasing what she started off with. And again

2576
03:53:26,645 --> 03:53:33,005
was I saw it. You were there too. Two of the trustees were there and I interrupted the instructor

2577
03:53:33,005 --> 03:53:38,585
and I said excuse me no you are taking out of context. Some of the writings you were

2578
03:53:38,585 --> 03:53:43,945
separating the true historical analysis of what the civil war was and the colonial era

2579
03:53:43,945 --> 03:53:49,225
I happened to be a history major and then she she shied away from it.

2580
03:53:49,425 --> 03:53:55,825
My question is various community members have sat through committees and they're saying

2581
03:53:55,825 --> 03:54:02,125
that they're hearing this quote unquote Marxist ideology that's separating oppressed

2582
03:54:02,125 --> 03:54:09,265
groups into oppressed and non-opressed. So is it happening or not? That's my question.

2583
03:54:09,505 --> 03:54:14,845
I don't sit on the equity committee. I've never sat on it, but I did sit on that one

2584
03:54:14,845 --> 03:54:21,105
workshop that we had by a facilitator. And that was her get-go. America is a racist country at its core.

2585
03:54:21,345 --> 03:54:28,465
Something that I dispute, I'm not oppressed, I'm Mexican, and I have never knelt to anybody, and nobody makes me feel inferior.

2586
03:54:28,465 --> 03:54:33,105
So, I don't, I don't stand for them.

2587
03:54:33,825 --> 03:54:37,385
And I know it's detrimental to students to think that they are oppressed.

2588
03:54:37,605 --> 03:54:39,485
It hurts their academic achievement.

2589
03:54:40,225 --> 03:54:42,745
That's why we hear this community outcry.

2590
03:54:43,285 --> 03:54:50,665
So, I want to know if this is the type of dialogue that's happening at this in these community talks.

2591
03:54:50,925 --> 03:54:53,005
That's what I heard from the community.

2592
03:54:53,005 --> 03:54:58,165
I've sat on two of the meetings.

2593
03:54:59,145 --> 03:55:06,365
And yes, there is a lot of that dialogue, and it's not coming from our community nonetheless. It's actually from the individuals that are presenting.

2594
03:55:07,325 --> 03:55:13,325
From the SEC, COE, it's a bit that are guiding the conversation. And that's the concern.

2595
03:55:15,105 --> 03:55:27,565
And a lot of it is about oppression, racial divisions. You know, we got to get them to listen to what we have to say. That's a quote during one of them, and it's a concern.

2596
03:55:31,465 --> 03:55:34,345
Sorry, Monica, close public comments.

2597
03:55:37,525 --> 03:55:38,005
Well,

2598
03:55:42,845 --> 03:55:44,505
is anybody willing to give guidance to Superintendent?

2599
03:55:46,925 --> 03:55:54,205
I guess the, you know, the Sanio County Office of Education materials that they provide have been provided on the power points and on the website.

2600
03:55:55,385 --> 03:55:57,065
You know, it's a series of theory.

2601
03:55:57,825 --> 03:55:58,885
Right? I mean it is.

2602
03:55:59,045 --> 03:55:59,805
And they're all adults.

2603
03:56:00,265 --> 03:56:01,605
And it's on the committee.

2604
03:56:01,605 --> 03:56:04,325
to their students and their students on the committee.

2605
03:56:05,265 --> 03:56:09,365
So I think if they are discussing those things, we should have the materials on the website

2606
03:56:09,365 --> 03:56:13,805
so we can see them, people everyone can see them, and I think they are doing that.

2607
03:56:14,145 --> 03:56:18,105
But the County Office of Ed is also a government entity mandated with complying with

2608
03:56:18,105 --> 03:56:21,365
the California Education Code, the criminal code, and the government code.

2609
03:56:21,845 --> 03:56:26,745
So I imagine what they're presenting is appropriate, but if there's concerns, we should

2610
03:56:26,745 --> 03:56:27,605
be aware of them.

2611
03:56:27,605 --> 03:56:33,425
So thank you for bringing it to our attention, and we'll make sure that these ideas are

2612
03:56:33,425 --> 03:56:37,625
just discussed, but the data driven analysis is what we have to go by, just like we talked

2613
03:56:37,625 --> 03:56:44,625
about earlier with the dashboard data, our socioeconomically disadvantaged, Hispanic children,

2614
03:56:44,945 --> 03:56:49,705
making sure every group has what they need to succeed. And so that if that data is coming in

2615
03:56:49,705 --> 03:56:52,225
and it's accurate, then that's what they should be looking at.

2616
03:56:55,875 --> 03:56:57,295
I guess the only direction is that we

2617
03:56:57,295 --> 03:57:03,955
continue this dialogue. It is important, just like Trustee Entry mentioned, we have to continue.

2618
03:57:04,375 --> 03:57:09,695
We're going to continue, but we also have to address the shareholders at both ends of the scope,

2619
03:57:10,015 --> 03:57:14,855
especially the ones who came out today and the ones that we get in the email on both sides of

2620
03:57:14,855 --> 03:57:21,395
the political lens. But we did sit through that workshop. There was a facilitator. There

2621
03:57:21,395 --> 03:57:31,735
she was espousing a critical race theory and it is divisive. We're seeing it now, so I've seen it myself, part of the day as a dog owner.

2622
03:57:32,875 --> 03:57:36,375
Are you espousing the way you do away with them then, is that what we're trying to do?

2623
03:57:36,395 --> 03:57:38,795
No, I just said that we continue with the dialogue.

2624
03:57:38,835 --> 03:57:43,915
If you continue with the dialogue, if you continue to continue to legislate any participants, that's my question.

2625
03:57:43,915 --> 03:57:49,775
Well, that's the contract, the superintendent mentioned that we have a two year contract.

2626
03:57:53,895 --> 03:58:03,715
Can we break the contract, or can we utilize STCOE in a fashion that helps us with equitable

2627
03:58:04,475 --> 03:58:13,215
guide in supporting our students in getting their grade tire, better academics, not because

2628
03:58:13,215 --> 03:58:15,435
that's where we're equitably failing.

2629
03:58:21,465 --> 03:58:26,785
If we have a contract with and let's utilize it, so we help our students get better grades.

2630
03:58:29,185 --> 03:58:34,185
to be fair at the superintendent and to mention that he said that this is just a committee.

2631
03:58:35,105 --> 03:58:38,345
The administrators are the true educators here. They're going to make.

2632
03:58:39,065 --> 03:58:41,465
And we've got to trust that process. And I do.

2633
03:58:41,885 --> 03:58:45,365
And I absolutely do. And I trust the process.

2634
03:58:45,505 --> 03:58:52,805
Your educators were just giving you a clear direction to move forward with what you think is best.

2635
03:58:52,805 --> 03:58:55,645
knowing that you've heard from community members with their concerns.

2636
03:58:55,645 --> 03:58:58,265
And I heard that you said that you were going to address this concerns.

2637
03:58:58,865 --> 03:59:01,825
So I'm confident in the superintendent's response.

2638
03:59:02,225 --> 03:59:04,045
Thank you, Trustee Valdas Clayton.

2639
03:59:08,225 --> 03:59:08,945
And they're...

2640
03:59:09,585 --> 03:59:13,205
It's a no discussion other than the guidance other than the carry on.

2641
03:59:13,345 --> 03:59:14,085
It's what I hear, correct?

2642
03:59:14,425 --> 03:59:14,805
Absolutely.

2643
03:59:16,205 --> 03:59:16,405
All right.

2644
03:59:16,725 --> 03:59:19,125
And thank you all for serving on the committee all that time.

2645
03:59:19,485 --> 03:59:21,405
And everything that is so repeated.

2646
03:59:21,405 --> 03:59:29,745
Well, and I think tonight's meeting is an example that you can disagree without being disagreeable.

2647
03:59:29,925 --> 03:59:38,765
I think that the dialogue was important tonight to copious notes on what I heard and we do

2648
03:59:38,765 --> 03:59:49,845
listen to community input. And we're glad you're here. We're glad you're here. We're glad

2649
03:59:49,845 --> 03:59:59,085
disagree on an issue, doesn't mean we, our enemies, and I appreciate that tonight that there

2650
03:59:59,085 --> 04:00:06,245
could be discussion and passionate discussion, but it was, it was in a register of communication

2651
04:00:06,245 --> 04:00:09,165
that was very respectful, so thank you very much for that.

2652
04:00:09,465 --> 04:00:14,485
I don't think necessarily disagree, I think that it's a level of awareness is what's taking

2653
04:00:14,485 --> 04:00:18,985
place in the, oh yeah, I didn't mean to imply that I simply said it is possible to disagree

2654
04:00:18,985 --> 04:00:23,845
without being disagreeable and I appreciate that. I like civil discourse.

2655
04:00:27,135 --> 04:00:33,655
We are finished and I'm going to close that item which was 6.3.

2656
04:00:34,639 --> 04:00:37,339
And move on to 6.4. Is that agreeable to all the trustees?

2657
04:00:37,919 --> 04:00:46,759
Yes. Thank you, Captain Pantes. I would like to call Deputy Superintendent Solomon to up to present the Deputy Superintendent's report.

2658
04:00:49,059 --> 04:00:54,959
Thank you, Superintendent Mueller, giving trustees, members of the community, you know, that it's getting late in the evening.

2659
04:00:55,659 --> 04:01:02,959
So I'm available for any questions that you have, but I did want to highlight one item that was included in the Deputy Superintendent's Department of Defense.

2660
04:01:02,959 --> 04:01:05,659
And that's a letter that we received from the County Office of Education.

2661
04:01:06,379 --> 04:01:10,139
As I often include in the end of my budget presentation,

2662
04:01:10,519 --> 04:01:12,139
there's a number of levels of oversight,

2663
04:01:13,039 --> 04:01:14,279
with regards to the district's budget.

2664
04:01:14,719 --> 04:01:16,399
As the sendee of County Office of Education

2665
04:01:16,919 --> 04:01:18,819
is one of those oversight bodies that

2666
04:01:18,819 --> 04:01:20,239
reviews our budget.

2667
04:01:20,979 --> 04:01:23,239
The external auditors are another opportunity

2668
04:01:23,239 --> 04:01:24,599
to review our budget.

2669
04:01:25,379 --> 04:01:27,899
This is a result of that review.

2670
04:01:28,159 --> 04:01:30,539
The County Office of Education after each budget

2671
04:01:30,539 --> 04:01:38,499
presentation or budget that we submit to them, they offer a letter either concurring or commenting on what was included in the budget.

2672
04:01:38,979 --> 04:01:46,159
We're happy to report that they concur with the district certification of a positive certification for the second interim budget,

2673
04:01:46,279 --> 04:01:51,519
meaning that we're going to be able to meet our fiscal obligations and the current and two subsequent fiscal years.

2674
04:01:52,159 --> 04:01:59,039
One of the items that they included of notes in their letter was this acknowledgment of the district's pattern of ducts and spending.

2675
04:01:59,039 --> 04:02:05,339
And it's important to note that when you look at the financial document as well as the response to this letter,

2676
04:02:05,919 --> 04:02:08,099
they're focusing solely on the district's general fund.

2677
04:02:08,379 --> 04:02:13,199
And so they do call out the pattern of deficit setting that we have in the district general fund.

2678
04:02:13,499 --> 04:02:19,379
Almost acknowledging that we have other funds that are available to supplement the district's general fund budget.

2679
04:02:19,899 --> 04:02:27,319
All of them, they want to remind us to pay attention to the district's pattern of deficit spending.

2680
04:02:27,319 --> 04:02:34,599
It is something that we have acknowledged is a planned spend-down, which is included in the district's long range planning documents.

2681
04:02:35,859 --> 04:02:37,179
We have the time to adapt to the spending.

2682
04:02:37,699 --> 04:02:46,839
We do have a goal of spending down our large reserve and anticipate an anticipation of becoming a basic aid district in the 26-27th of the school year.

2683
04:02:47,339 --> 04:02:53,119
And so they just wanted to remind us and bring this to our attention that we should continue to monitor the district's deficit spend

2684
04:02:53,119 --> 04:02:56,239
and make sure that we find accordingly as we anticipate

2685
04:02:56,239 --> 04:03:00,939
basic aid in 206-27 available for any questions.

2686
04:03:03,149 --> 04:03:04,989
Stay, we've been that this a long time,

2687
04:03:05,129 --> 04:03:06,009
but just for the trustees.

2688
04:03:06,789 --> 04:03:08,309
This is a pretty important letter.

2689
04:03:09,589 --> 04:03:11,409
I hated gloss over because it's late,

2690
04:03:13,529 --> 04:03:16,789
but it doesn't read that differently than what we had

2691
04:03:16,789 --> 04:03:18,289
the last couple of years.

2692
04:03:18,489 --> 04:03:22,889
It recognized where ducks had spending a whole lot of hope.

2693
04:03:23,509 --> 04:03:29,389
They send what I read about the California economy and what Governor Newsom is doing right now that we might get some help

2694
04:03:29,389 --> 04:03:37,129
But we do need to continue to give our full attention to our budget. So thank you for bringing us to our attention. Thank you. It's all muka.

2695
04:03:38,409 --> 04:03:39,649
Thank you, Mr. Salamaka

2696
04:03:43,139 --> 04:03:49,139
The last item is the first read on 7.1 adoption of events, placement, human geography, textbooks.

2697
04:03:51,179 --> 04:03:57,579
Thank you, President Pontus. Once again, Dr. Battle is available to answer any questions.

2698
04:03:58,619 --> 04:04:12,139
I would like to remind trustees that this is the first read and also that this is a new course that will be made available to Coronado High School students as a result of the 4 by 4 bell schedule

2699
04:04:12,139 --> 04:04:17,139
and increasing our course of study for our students, Dr. Vattle.

2700
04:04:18,059 --> 04:04:23,159
Great, thank you. Yes, we're very excited to offer this new course next year.

2701
04:04:23,579 --> 04:04:31,279
It's a course that I know the History Social Science Department at CHS has been thinking about for the last few years

2702
04:04:31,279 --> 04:04:37,819
and we're excited for the opportunity. There is already an identified instructor for the course,

2703
04:04:37,819 --> 04:04:45,339
And he was a big part of putting together this report and researching materials.

2704
04:04:46,079 --> 04:04:50,779
He also serves as department chair at CHS, Mr. Aldworth.

2705
04:04:51,479 --> 04:04:55,899
And so I appreciate his contribution to this report as well.

2706
04:04:58,219 --> 04:05:01,279
Is this a strategic course I assume?

2707
04:05:01,819 --> 04:05:02,419
Yes.

2708
04:05:03,699 --> 04:05:07,919
I really, I had no idea what Jim and geography was. I did have to look that up by my submit.

2709
04:05:09,019 --> 04:05:13,079
A.P. Hug is kind of the afternoon that they use.

2710
04:05:13,819 --> 04:05:16,419
Yeah, things have changed, and that's for sure.

2711
04:05:17,039 --> 04:05:18,599
Mr. Alborth.

2712
04:05:21,629 --> 04:05:24,009
Any questions for Dr. Battle on this?

2713
04:05:24,129 --> 04:05:26,029
It'll come back to us next month for approval.

2714
04:05:26,329 --> 04:05:30,149
If there's any concerns or questions with the topic,

2715
04:05:30,149 --> 04:05:32,809
they have plenty of time to talk to her before next month.

2716
04:05:34,069 --> 04:05:36,429
Thank you, Dr. Battle. We're going to get you a skateboard.

2717
04:05:41,839 --> 04:05:50,179
We are now on 8.1, which is upcoming meetings. They are listed in the board packet there. Next meeting will be on June 30, 4pm.

2718
04:05:50,959 --> 04:05:58,319
The meeting at June 17 is also a 4pm meeting that is today's graduation. There was some discussion as it was not.

2719
04:05:58,879 --> 04:06:08,079
We needed to change that off to a different date. And I think the decision was, the graduation starts at 7.30.

2720
04:06:09,499 --> 04:06:14,879
Normally, that meeting is a pretty perfunctory meeting of some doesn't make that, and I didn't

2721
04:06:14,879 --> 04:06:19,899
just close out the year, I think we can do our business within two and a half hours, and

2722
04:06:19,899 --> 04:06:21,079
then head on over to graduate.

2723
04:06:21,879 --> 04:06:26,679
So let's say some hard-burning with that will not change the data that meeting.

2724
04:06:28,479 --> 04:06:36,719
And then the only other question I would have is we had discussed it our meeting last week about

2725
04:06:36,719 --> 04:06:42,259
protocol workshop. There's been any luck in coming up with the date for that in this Miguel

2726
04:06:42,259 --> 04:06:42,859
kind.

2727
04:06:46,259 --> 04:06:52,279
We do not have a date at this time looking at board availability. We might be looking

2728
04:06:52,279 --> 04:07:03,399
at the end of June because a lot of trustees will be out of town. We also need to send our

2729
04:07:03,399 --> 04:07:08,339
availability for last week of June, but just these in the next couple of days can you

2730
04:07:08,339 --> 04:07:11,859
afford to miss me Gallicada, if you would be available during the last week of June.

2731
04:07:12,159 --> 04:07:13,759
Thank you.

2732
04:07:14,179 --> 04:07:19,959
All right, and then we'll bring us to a point two, which is a personalist of agenda item

2733
04:07:19,959 --> 04:07:25,979
for future board meetings, and you trust these have any ideas for those?

2734
04:07:25,979 --> 04:07:45,579
I have that on my list also I think Superintendent Mueller is aware and in terms to do that with the next meeting is that correct correct and

2735
04:07:48,659 --> 04:07:55,979
My documentation from the request was a communication update in general and inclusive of that would be discussions around

2736
04:07:56,779 --> 04:08:04,279
support staff, but we also have information on other communication strategies and mechanisms

2737
04:08:04,279 --> 04:08:06,759
to update the board on at that meeting.

2738
04:08:08,659 --> 04:08:13,759
And I'm Mr. Mueller, there was one public comment on bringing back a build education that

2739
04:08:13,759 --> 04:08:16,299
we're looking at that for.

2740
04:08:16,799 --> 04:08:21,119
I will get information back out to our community and an upcoming newsletter and we'll

2741
04:08:21,119 --> 04:08:22,039
reach out to Ms. Hart.

2742
04:08:22,039 --> 04:08:27,819
I just need an update from our adult education staff on programming and study for summer and

2743
04:08:27,819 --> 04:08:28,279
fall.

2744
04:08:28,459 --> 04:08:28,779
All right.

2745
04:08:29,279 --> 04:08:35,539
And an update on the alternative programs that we decided on that, looking for that,

2746
04:08:35,619 --> 04:08:38,479
are just deep diving into no place for eight.

2747
04:08:39,039 --> 04:08:41,579
Which I'll turn to programs for.

2748
04:08:41,619 --> 04:08:52,889
Well, Trustee, because I had mentioned that she'd like the district to look into program

2749
04:08:52,889 --> 04:08:56,629
similar to no place for hate that weren't attached to a political agenda.

2750
04:08:57,089 --> 04:09:02,569
And I didn't know if that was, if we were doing that, and if we were, it should be put on

2751
04:09:02,569 --> 04:09:02,929
the agenda.

2752
04:09:07,959 --> 04:09:08,619
The next meeting?

2753
04:09:08,879 --> 04:09:08,939
The next meeting?

2754
04:09:08,939 --> 04:09:10,579
I think one of the questions would be addressed here.

2755
04:09:14,629 --> 04:09:15,889
I'm seeking board direction.

2756
04:09:16,049 --> 04:09:21,709
What I heard during that conversation was a thorough vetting of this program prior to school

2757
04:09:21,709 --> 04:09:26,979
resuming in the fall, so we would probably get that at our first meeting.

2758
04:09:26,979 --> 04:09:34,279
Well, can we look into other programs too prior to school in the fall so that we're not?

2759
04:09:34,279 --> 04:09:34,859
We're not.

2760
04:09:35,119 --> 04:09:38,119
I mean, if no place for hate doesn't suffice,

2761
04:09:38,399 --> 04:09:39,779
happen when we look at it.

2762
04:09:39,999 --> 04:09:42,859
There we have something in place to support the code of education.

2763
04:09:45,059 --> 04:09:49,439
I think if the superintendent feels the need that there may be conflict that he would

2764
04:09:49,439 --> 04:09:51,019
bring other programs forward.

2765
04:09:52,959 --> 04:09:53,339
Correct.

2766
04:09:53,339 --> 04:10:01,519
And trust me, as I, you can keep up in a conversation with him over the summer to see what he's thinking, okay?

2767
04:10:03,379 --> 04:10:05,459
I did, I do need to bring up one other item.

2768
04:10:06,659 --> 04:10:12,499
We received a public request for an agenda item from Ecluxio Coronado,

2769
04:10:14,219 --> 04:10:16,799
which directed several questions to the DAG.

2770
04:10:16,939 --> 04:10:19,399
And I'm wondering if we did not accomplish that tonight,

2771
04:10:19,399 --> 04:10:26,679
Or do we need to have a separate agenda item and specifically answer questions for them?

2772
04:10:26,939 --> 04:10:26,959
I

2773
04:10:32,719 --> 04:10:33,019
don't know.

2774
04:10:33,119 --> 04:10:37,299
This is that so tonight that they did post the specific questions when it was possible to compare

2775
04:10:37,299 --> 04:10:44,079
ask plenty too much to ask the staff to prepare a report for responding specifically to those questions.

2776
04:10:46,319 --> 04:10:52,599
I believe in various updates and different context we have provided all of the answers.

2777
04:10:52,599 --> 04:11:00,099
we will organize those thoughts and those responses in a succinct email back to inclusion auto

2778
04:11:00,099 --> 04:11:04,379
and make sure that we copy the governing board. Thank you for that effort.

2779
04:11:05,959 --> 04:11:13,439
Any other items? I actually had a recommendation from a trustee for deliberation on the board.

2780
04:11:13,759 --> 04:11:18,759
There was a request to take a look at funding for the Brian Bent Memorial Aquatics complex.

2781
04:11:19,999 --> 04:11:24,799
I didn't upcoming board meeting, so look at financials for the BB map.

2782
04:11:25,859 --> 04:11:27,519
We will take direction from the board.

2783
04:11:29,859 --> 04:11:34,659
Is there anybody who would like to see a roll-up of the BB map finances?

2784
04:11:36,219 --> 04:11:41,019
That's because I and anyone else want to see that.

2785
04:11:41,419 --> 04:11:48,949
Right now, can we, if you have an interim coming up, Mr. Selamakai, what?

2786
04:11:51,909 --> 04:11:55,429
Can you throw a few words in about the BB market at that time?

2787
04:11:55,929 --> 04:11:57,349
That was going to be our suggestion.

2788
04:11:58,449 --> 04:11:59,609
Wow, I got one right.

2789
04:12:03,409 --> 04:12:05,429
I think I've raised me to the end of the list.

2790
04:12:06,349 --> 04:12:07,969
Unless there's something else.

2791
04:12:08,909 --> 04:12:11,969
We have a good another hour of closed session that looks forward to.

2792
04:12:14,501 --> 04:12:18,981
Open session is closed. We will adjourn the closed session in 10 minutes.
