In closed session, the board has addressed the topics listed under number six, closed session

59
00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:37,660
Superintendent, that's for you.

00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:45,180

Anyone interested in speaking to this item?

79
00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:42,370
I have no speaker cards, no anyone approaching the podium.

80
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:46,250
So if there are no comments, I would declare the public hearing closed.

81
00:10:51,130 --> 00:10:56,390

Dr. Greenfield, we're ready for some student and other recognitions and I'm asking Trustee

133
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:55,700
Trustee Chair to represent the district in the first three items, and then Trustee Herrera for the last item regarding Oxford High School.

134
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:56,500
Okay.

135
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,380
Thank you, Dr. Davis.

136
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,500
Board. As you know, this is my favorite time of the evening. And if only board meetings could be all student recognition. Maybe a lot more fun. But anyway, tonight, you know, it's that time of year when we start to really recognize our kids from all of our sites and the amazing things that they're doing. So it is with great pleasure that I asked Dr. McCoy to please come up and present the first school. Thank you, President Davis, Superintendent Dalyone. Trustees and staff are first recognition.

137
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:32,420
the outstanding student award from Condor High School.

138
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:43,540
We'd like to invite Condor High School principal, Mrs. Kathy Greaves to the podium to introduce our students and invite trusty share and Superintendent Dalyone down to receive them.

139
00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:46,760
You know, I love alternative ed.

140
00:15:47,940 --> 00:15:49,060
Good evening.

141
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:59,480
I'm Kathy Greaves on the principal of Condor High School and I'll start at old school, getting into the board president and all the members of the board and district staff.

142
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:12,020
We're a very proud school and proud to present two students tonight that we felt met the outstanding criteria for student for board recognition.

143
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:29,060
And those students are Denise Carrillo and Lexi Romero and I also have with us this evening their possible parents, maybe with us and a counselor and

144
00:16:29,060 --> 00:16:36,060
their teachers. So I would like to just let you know that I'd like to call Denise and let's

145
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:36,620
see up here.

146
00:16:48,860 --> 00:16:54,940
View words about you and we know that you went to Oxford College both of you

147
00:16:54,940 --> 00:17:03,440
and completed classes concurrently that you were both seeking to go to four year and you've been

148
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:12,240
accepted, I believe, to San Jose and to Channel Islands University, and you've been accepted

149
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:20,580
or are going to an international in South Korea down the road, and that you're both very,

150
00:17:20,580 --> 00:17:22,000
very busy people.

151
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:26,140
So Denise has done the college concurrent.

152
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,120
She also has worked to support her family business volunteers through Red Cross.

153
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:42,020
And she is wonderfully responsible, very mature, and she's going to go for a full-on degree in Mathematics, Dr. Hall.

154
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:42,600
Very good.

155
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:53,700
And like I said, Lexi's definitely going to go to international relationships,

156
00:17:54,200 --> 00:18:01,000
studying abroad in South Korea. She's currently working part-time at a store,

157
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:09,480
or I didn't know that coach was a store in Camerillo, I don't get out much, and that

158
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:15,200
she's always very smiling and very friendly and her teachers love both of their teachers

159
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:23,260
have great things to say. The council responsible for these two is Elizabeth Tobias, she's also

160
00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:31,140
or intervention specialist, she's sitting in the back and I have to share no doubt.

161
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,480
Can we have the councillor come forward and share in this recognition, it takes the village, right?

162
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:43,920
Go ahead, Karen if you like it.

163
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:44,160
Yes.

164
00:18:46,670 --> 00:18:52,630
Ms. Grease, would our students like to say anything about their future or their experience and that would be a nice time for her?

165
00:18:52,630 --> 00:19:02,550
To share anything that you'd like to share with us students the nice any anything you like to share about your experiences a condor or your future good afternoon everyone

166
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:04,670
well

167
00:19:05,870 --> 00:19:10,570
all the teachers and all the staff honestly a condor is they're so supportive and

168
00:19:11,230 --> 00:19:17,170
My goal honestly was to have a flexible schedule to like misgroups had to work

169
00:19:17,170 --> 00:19:20,230
help support my family business and

170
00:19:20,230 --> 00:19:37,270
And condor made it possible because I didn't have to go to school every single day for May 3rd, so then they also give me an opportunity to take college classes and from that I'm pretty much finishing up my freshman year of college right now.

171
00:19:37,970 --> 00:19:38,770
Thank you.

172
00:19:41,310 --> 00:19:44,450
And with that I graduated a semester early as well.

173
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:54,370
so we have many accomplishments. Tell us a little bit, what was your experience as a high school student taking college classes at Oxford College? How challenging was that for you?

174
00:19:54,790 --> 00:20:01,570
I took my first college class summer of 2017, I took US history and that was intense.

175
00:20:03,890 --> 00:20:08,630
Yes, especially during summer and a high school student, I didn't know what I was getting

176
00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:17,390
myself into, but I mean, from being at OC for almost two years already, I feel like

177
00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:24,050
I'm ready to just, I'm hoping to go to San Jose, this upcoming fall, so I think I'm ready

178
00:20:24,050 --> 00:20:24,390
for that.

179
00:20:24,650 --> 00:20:26,010
We think you're ready to, congratulations.

180
00:20:26,410 --> 00:20:26,770
Thank you.

181
00:20:29,070 --> 00:20:34,970
And Lexi, Cheryl thought her too with this, your experience and what are you going to be doing in South Korea at the university?

182
00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:43,330
Okay, so I actually really want to say thank you to Mr. Bias, because as a DACA recipient, I was really, really scared to go into the college process.

183
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:50,770
And she helped me a lot with my applications, with something that, you know, I've never had any guidance on, so I want to thank Condor High School for that.

184
00:20:51,410 --> 00:20:57,270
And I'm actually going to OCE next year because of financial reasons.

185
00:20:57,790 --> 00:21:12,690
I'm going to report it as I said I was a DAC recipient, I don't receive much aid, but I am also, I finished up kind of my freshman year, I've been taking OSE classes since I was 14, so I'm very excited to continue there, they're a great institution as well.

186
00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:16,950
And I will be majoring in international relations as well.

187
00:21:16,970 --> 00:21:18,590
And what would you like to do with that major someday?

188
00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:20,370
I would like to be an immigration lawyer.

189
00:21:20,730 --> 00:21:21,770
All right, very good.

190
00:21:25,670 --> 00:21:28,110
And will you be going to Seoul, South Korea?

191
00:21:28,810 --> 00:21:30,030
As soon as I can, you know.

192
00:21:30,250 --> 00:21:30,610
Okay, very good.

193
00:21:30,670 --> 00:21:31,410
We wish you the best.

194
00:21:31,710 --> 00:21:31,810
Thank you.

195
00:21:31,810 --> 00:21:32,970
Congratulations to both of you.

196
00:21:33,210 --> 00:21:33,710
And the families.

197
00:21:34,030 --> 00:21:34,870
Are they here with us, please?

198
00:21:39,060 --> 00:21:39,440
Question.

199
00:21:39,940 --> 00:21:41,260
Can I ask Denise?

200
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:42,080
Yes.

201
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,540
Are you interested in being a high school mathematics teacher?

202
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:47,160
You are?

203
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,240
I always hire along.

204
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,400
You come on back when you're done.

205
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,060
And we will hire you and put you in a classroom right away.

206
00:21:54,060 --> 00:21:55,140
Hey, you ready?

207
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,420
All right, good.

208
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,000
That's good.

209
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Mm-hm.

210
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,380
Hey.

211
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:24,780
Sign now.

212
00:22:38,370 --> 00:22:39,250
Stay there.

213
00:22:39,250 --> 00:22:40,130
one more picture, I think.

214
00:22:44,910 --> 00:22:45,630
There you

215
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,620
go.

216
00:22:52,420 --> 00:22:53,820
Dr. De Leon, if you want to stay there.

217
00:22:54,780 --> 00:22:58,300
Dr. De Leon, if you want to stay there, we're going into Pacifica High School.

218
00:23:03,130 --> 00:23:04,650
Oh, is that, that's special.

219
00:23:07,580 --> 00:23:12,780
For our next two recognitions, Dr. Davis will have principal Ted Lawrence from Pacifica High

220
00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:16,100
School introduce two groups of students from Pacifica.

221
00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:17,540
So, Mr. Lawrence, come on down.

222
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,480
Welcome, Mr. Lawrence.

223
00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:29,770
Go tritons. I love your energy boss. Dr. Davis, members of the board, Dr. D, executive captain.

224
00:23:30,650 --> 00:23:35,710
And I know that I get accused of being a braggart. I have wonderful kids at Pacifica. They're awesome.

225
00:23:36,090 --> 00:23:41,330
So this first point of recognition here, what I really like about my kids is when they're on campus

226
00:23:41,330 --> 00:23:46,110
they do great things. I love them, but we're there. We're in control. We kind of guide them and direct them.

227
00:23:46,610 --> 00:23:51,190
This one happened totally on their own. I didn't even know about this until trustee

228
00:23:51,190 --> 00:23:55,730
We share, called me one night and said, hey, there was a big car accident in the city of Oxenard.

229
00:23:56,330 --> 00:24:00,850
And there was one of our residents who happens to be a teacher in the Oxenard School District who was there,

230
00:24:01,230 --> 00:24:06,890
who had been involved in a hit and run and who was distraught and didn't know what to do, was kind of panic stricken.

231
00:24:07,570 --> 00:24:11,050
And three individuals from the city of Oxenard came up to help her and

232
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:12,770
console her and make things right.

233
00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:17,390
And they happened to be students from the Pacific High School.

234
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:20,470
So at this point I'm going to let them talk so I'm going to call up

235
00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:25,050
Jelina, Leo and Jesus to talk about what they did on that day.

236
00:24:25,250 --> 00:24:25,950
Very good. Welcome.

237
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,400
Jelina is the spokesperson by the way of this.

238
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,060
All right Jelina.

239
00:24:37,140 --> 00:24:38,420
Oh, welcome to all of you.

240
00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:40,520
But the other guys are going to speak.

241
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,280
Okay, very good. We want that.

242
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:43,140
Welcome to you.

243
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:44,340
Hello. Hello.

244
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,800
So we were driving or he was driving to take

245
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:59,280
He's used to go get a haircut, and there's a lot of traffic, and the car in front of us,

246
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:04,980
I don't know if they got impatient or what happened, but it rammed into the Prius of

247
00:25:04,980 --> 00:25:11,580
the teacher at Frank, and it's backed up and drove away, and I was like, Leo, the car is driving

248
00:25:11,580 --> 00:25:15,780
away, and he was like, no, it's not, I think they're going to go meet up, and we are driving,

249
00:25:15,780 --> 00:25:23,980
And then we looked and the car was speeding up and then Leo turned to go follow the car and the Prius was following it, too.

250
00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:30,220
And the car was driving really crazy and it got away.

251
00:25:31,820 --> 00:25:40,080
The lady and the Prius ended up pulling off to the side and Leo pulled over to ask if she was okay and she was shaking and crying.

252
00:25:42,060 --> 00:25:48,000
Yeah, dramatic experience for anybody, but thank you so much for what you did other gentlemen come to the podium

253
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:52,640
First of all, I just want to say thank you. Yeah, thank you

254
00:25:53,640 --> 00:26:00,520
Yeah, we're just there at the right place right time. I'm sure any other tried in our school would have done the same thing

255
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:02,960
Yeah

256
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:08,320
Yeah, thank you, mr. Lawrence for holding us to high standards

257
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:14,780
words. We take that out to society. And thank you. You did the right thing. Thank you.

258
00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:16,700
Please.

259
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:25,000
I want to thank Mr. Lawrence for letting us be here. And I'm glad we were there

260
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:31,520
at that moment to help the teacher and that everything ended up okay. Thank you for

261
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,200
sharing that. Thank you for what you did as well.

262
00:26:37,060 --> 00:26:38,660
You're still long. Yeah. So I want to

263
00:26:38,660 --> 00:26:39,720
I want to say thank you,

264
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:52,540
yeah, I want to say thank you on behalf of the Oxford Union High School District and Pacific High School and myself because Kristen's story has been a friend of mine for about 20 years.

265
00:26:53,920 --> 00:27:02,820
And what I wrote was, and I can read what I wrote earlier this week, and ELA, an avid teacher at Frank's School Kristen's story, was involved in a hit and run accident.

266
00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:10,580
She was not hurt, thank goodness, but very shaken up and three brave and wonderful PHS students came to her rescue.

267
00:27:11,260 --> 00:27:19,040
Kristen is ever so grateful to these students and we can all be incredibly proud of them for their efforts to help a fellow citizen in need.

268
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:28,100
And really Kristen reached out to me and said, do you know if we could find these students, I don't know who they were and they were so helpful and wonderful to me.

269
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:33,520
And I said, I don't know, but I bet I can find someone who can, honestly.

270
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:39,900
And about an hour or two later, Mr. Lawrence sent me a picture of all three of the students

271
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:41,320
that he had found that morning.

272
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,560
And it was just an incredible moment.

273
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:50,520
A full circle of coming together that we were all able to help Kristen in her time of need

274
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,020
because she was pretty shaken up.

275
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,200
So I'm here on her behalf and would like to present with you some gift certificates

276
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,560
that she's given to you.

277
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,720
So Leonardo, Jesus, and Jalena, yes.

278
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:03,220
And so thank you so much.

279
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:07,040
And thank you to Mr. Lawrence and all the PHS staff

280
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,860
for holding students to high standards,

281
00:28:10,180 --> 00:28:12,960
high expectations, and powerful futures is our motto,

282
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,460
and we're so grateful to you.

283
00:28:14,580 --> 00:28:15,580
So thank you very much.

284
00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:16,840
And Dr. Nileon, you have a word?

285
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,560
Yes, I do.

286
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,040
I just want to say how proud I am of you.

287
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,360
And what I'm noticing is a trend at the Pacifica high school,

288
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:25,720
Yes.

289
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:32,120
Because when you look at all the work that was done for the Thomas Fire, the Wolsey Fire,

290
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:39,180
our firefighters within Oxnard, and then this, I'm noticing that this is a school that

291
00:28:39,180 --> 00:28:45,960
is absolutely focused on community and on volunteerism and helping the global good.

292
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,700
So really, really proud of you, Andrew Fellow-Tritans.

293
00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:50,880
I love it.

294
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:56,700
this is this is what it's all about this is what education's about right so thank you so much thank you

295
00:30:17,570 --> 00:30:21,890
We are proud of you. Thank you very much, and model for all of us. The next two,

296
00:30:22,190 --> 00:30:27,310
I'll start, and then the College Board Counselor Recognition, and we will ask one more Pacific.

297
00:30:27,530 --> 00:30:36,650
Oh, yes, the culinary arts. I'm sorry, yes, we do. So, as Dr. David just said, culinary arts is something that Pacifica has been known for since it opened in 2001.

298
00:30:37,310 --> 00:30:41,430
When I first got to Pacifica, people said, oh, wait a minute. It's not like that anymore.

299
00:30:41,430 --> 00:30:45,990
The teacher left, the program is going to go downhill, it's going to be gone.

300
00:30:46,430 --> 00:30:48,830
So we had a brand new teacher in my first year.

301
00:30:49,350 --> 00:30:52,170
She's been amazing, hasn't skipped a beat.

302
00:30:52,790 --> 00:30:55,570
The food is still amazing, as you can tell by looking at me.

303
00:30:55,690 --> 00:30:58,190
It's one of my favorite, stopping points on campus every day.

304
00:30:58,830 --> 00:31:03,250
But she continues to teach these kids, give excellent lessons, and win competitions.

305
00:31:03,810 --> 00:31:09,830
So to talk about the kids and this program is our teacher who's now in year three with me no longer the rookie.

306
00:31:09,830 --> 00:31:13,570
but a very, very dominant culinary art teacher, Ms. Kristen Collins.

307
00:31:22,540 --> 00:31:24,060
Hello, good evening to everybody.

308
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:25,900
Thank you for having us tonight.

309
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,720
It's really exciting for the students and I.

310
00:31:29,180 --> 00:31:33,020
What the students are being recognized for tonight is what is called pro-start.

311
00:31:33,620 --> 00:31:38,340
So it's this competition that is held across all of California and

312
00:31:38,340 --> 00:31:39,940
in various other states across the US.

313
00:31:40,220 --> 00:31:42,980
It's run by the National Restaurant Association of America.

314
00:31:42,980 --> 00:31:50,860
And the students are asked to get in a group of five, complete three fancy fine dining

315
00:31:50,860 --> 00:31:56,320
on trays, two plates of each within one hour, and all they get is two burners, no battery

316
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,960
operated, no electronics, no nothing.

317
00:31:59,220 --> 00:32:05,720
So this year there were 28 teams from all across all of California, North, South, San Diego.

318
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:12,700
There were art trade schools, there were private schools, there was everybody, and it was

319
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:15,840
It was amazing the students actually took second place in the entire state.

320
00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:36,650
It was quite the feat, we were really excited and I'm so proud of the students because I had many judges come seek us out after and during the competition and say that they wished that their employees worked as organized and efficiently as the Pacifica students did.

321
00:32:38,530 --> 00:32:44,930
They have been practicing their butts off ever since summer school, summer time we would

322
00:32:44,930 --> 00:32:49,330
get together and meet after school, we would be there until eight or nine o'clock at night

323
00:32:49,330 --> 00:32:54,310
practicing, organizing, I have been blown away by their dedication.

324
00:32:55,210 --> 00:33:00,450
My goal is to just guide them, not to do it for them, so it was very hard at the competition

325
00:33:00,450 --> 00:33:05,030
to, I wasn't allowed to even speak to them or make eye contact with them, so that was hard

326
00:33:05,030 --> 00:33:15,790
for me trying to learn sign language like that, so they were so professional and did Pacifica

327
00:33:15,790 --> 00:33:20,910
proud and are really, really proud. It was really exciting for people to go rock snard,

328
00:33:21,170 --> 00:33:25,810
rock snard, one place rock snard. So I was just like, we're over here. So it was really an exciting

329
00:33:25,810 --> 00:33:33,370
thing. And I want to go ahead and invite the pro-start team up. I will like to call Jason Emley.

330
00:33:34,510 --> 00:33:39,390
and Nicholas and Juan Ochoa, up to the stage,

331
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:55,220
and then I think we'll let them speak and say what competition was like and what the program in Pacifica has done for you.

332
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,280
And are any of them seniors?

333
00:33:58,100 --> 00:33:58,540
Yes.

334
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,980
A little bit about what they might be doing if they're seniors in the future, yes.

335
00:34:03,540 --> 00:34:08,400
There were three seniors and two juniors on the team, so we've got two seniors here.

336
00:34:08,740 --> 00:34:11,100
Share with us as you like. Welcome. Congratulations.

337
00:34:11,660 --> 00:34:15,460
My name is Emily Pena, currently a senior at Pacifica High School.

338
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:18,760
I've been in the academy for roughly four years.

339
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:25,160
I've done pro-sof for two years, took fourth, then second, and then done seat cap.

340
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,480
And I actually placed first on that.

341
00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:28,460
Wonderful.

342
00:34:30,490 --> 00:34:36,090
I like about the Academy is that like some of the students are very dedicated and especially our teacher

343
00:34:36,090 --> 00:34:38,750
She does not get paid enough for what she does

344
00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:39,770
We're sure

345
00:34:39,770 --> 00:34:40,470
She really does

346
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:42,110
So I'm very

347
00:34:42,110 --> 00:34:50,670
So I'm really thankful of having her because she would provide us with a stable environment and all

348
00:34:50,670 --> 00:34:56,050
She would help us with internships like she helped me get a job at Terraceur. It's a

349
00:34:56,050 --> 00:35:02,270
So, find dining restaurant here, and will you pursue culinary arts after high school, do you think?

350
00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:05,550
Yes, I've been accepted and planning to go to CIA.

351
00:35:05,970 --> 00:35:10,590
It's Culinary Institute of America in New York, planning to

352
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,040
get my social, you were guaranteed a scholarship.

353
00:35:16,060 --> 00:35:18,120
We're just waiting to see which one, from CCAP.

354
00:35:18,340 --> 00:35:27,980
Yeah, so, I'm waiting on it a bit, but I'm planning to get an associate's green baking and pastry and a bachelor in food management business and hopefully open up a bakery.

355
00:35:27,980 --> 00:35:30,080
Wonderful. Wonderful future. Thank you.

356
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:30,520
Congratulations.

357
00:35:34,810 --> 00:35:37,730
How my name is Jason Zavala. I'm a senior at Pacific High School.

358
00:35:38,490 --> 00:35:42,770
And first I want to give a big thanks to you guys for doing this for us.

359
00:35:42,970 --> 00:35:44,730
And big thanks to our chef as well.

360
00:35:45,690 --> 00:35:47,910
For opening a lot of opportunities for us.

361
00:35:48,650 --> 00:35:57,010
And I think culinary has definitely put me on a path that I don't think any other thing would.

362
00:35:57,010 --> 00:36:05,210
I just distressed the the fast pace. I wouldn't have it any other way. But yeah I

363
00:36:05,210 --> 00:36:09,910
I plan to pursue culinary after high school. I'm currently working at

364
00:36:09,910 --> 00:36:16,390
Tearser with Emily and doing my third culinary job which I've had since

365
00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:21,850
15th so I like the opportunity and thank you. Thank you very much. Wish you the

366
00:36:21,850 --> 00:36:22,030
best.

367
00:36:26,740 --> 00:36:30,700
Hi my name is Juan Ochoa. I am a junior in the culinary arts academy

368
00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:41,460
me, and all I really have to say is thank you to chef Collins, just for forever changing

369
00:36:41,460 --> 00:36:45,840
my life and making me a better person and giving me all these opportunities that I would

370
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,580
never have had without pro-start or the academy.

371
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:55,620
And in the future I plan to go to CIA2 and just be a personal chef.

372
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,300
Very good.

373
00:36:57,500 --> 00:36:58,480
We wish you the best.

374
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,220
Hi,

375
00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:24,280
I'm Nicholas Gutierrez, I'm a junior in the culinary arts academy and I really just want to say thank you to you guys for this recognition and thanks to chef for all the hours and hard work she put in to making this possible for us and I also like to thank the seniors and press start for being excellent role models and I hope to learn a lot from them.

376
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:32,380
Nice thought. Thank you for sharing that. Thank you. We wish you there. I want to say thank you

377
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,140
teacher-driven leadership is the thing that is

378
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:43,260
Magic right when we give our teachers room to grow and to inspire and limitless

379
00:37:43,260 --> 00:37:49,060
Possibilities, so I'm so proud of all of you, but thank you to you especially for all that you've done and given to these kids

380
00:37:49,060 --> 00:37:50,120
So yes

381
00:37:53,420 --> 00:38:15,240
One of the main goals we have here in Oxnard Union High School District is connecting kids to their passion because my dream is that every child leaves and they get to do what they love every single day like I do and these kids definitely, you can tell they want to be chefs, they love, love, love what you've taught them and you've connected them to their passion.

382
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:25,160
And so I do know for sure these particular four students will go on and do what they love every single day being gainfully employed and that is our goal.

383
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,140
And so thank you so very much for what you've done to help connect them to that.

384
00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:29,980
Thank you so much.

385
00:38:30,380 --> 00:38:31,460
I'm proud of all of you.

386
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:53,760
Oh, is that right?

387
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:05,280
I'm going to say that.

388
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:24,100
Steve.

389
00:39:52,410 --> 00:39:52,890
And

390
00:39:59,990 --> 00:40:03,190
Dr. McCoy, we have the final two recognitions, yes.

391
00:40:03,190 --> 00:40:09,590
Yes, for our final two recognitions, we'd like to invite the principal of Oxnard High School, Mr. Richard Urias, to the podium.

392
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,180
Welcome Mr. Urias.

393
00:40:15,660 --> 00:40:16,320
Good evening, board.

394
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:17,000
Good evening to you.

395
00:40:17,500 --> 00:40:20,040
Good evening, Dr. Dalyot and executive cabinet.

396
00:40:20,340 --> 00:40:22,380
And thank you for our support, what a wonderful evening.

397
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,160
It's nice to see all the students here, and I'm happy to bring one along as well.

398
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,840
I've taken a few notes here, because David Polito, senior at Oxnard High School,

399
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,040
is an award recipient of the Southern California Edison Scholarship of $40,000.

400
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:42,980
It

401
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:50,720
happens to have to check with him, that's great.

402
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,760
Yes, very good.

403
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,880
What do you mean you want to put a hold on it, come on.

404
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:55,200
That's right.

405
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:56,260
Most left bit of it.

406
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:59,680
David, so I'm taking a few notes here because David has done quite a bit.

407
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:00,960
Congratulations, David.

408
00:41:01,420 --> 00:41:06,760
David is an advent student currently taking four AP classes including AP calculus and AP physics.

409
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:16,120
As current GPA is a 4.41, David has been very involved in school through the opportunities created by this board and the superintendent.

410
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:25,480
Things such as the OHS Mesa program, robotics, mathematics, national honor society, the avid club, water polo, swim.

411
00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:30,700
David likes to spend time outside of school coding and tinkering with electronics.

412
00:41:31,420 --> 00:41:36,080
And David is fully proficient bilingual who'll be going to the University of Michigan to major.

413
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,500
in electrical engineering.

414
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:39,620
Very good.

415
00:41:40,180 --> 00:41:41,160
So David.

416
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,000
David, believe it.

417
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:42,520
Welcome, David.

418
00:41:45,140 --> 00:41:46,720
Oh, good evening.

419
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:47,620
Good evening to you.

420
00:41:47,980 --> 00:41:48,580
We're proud of you.

421
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:49,580
Thank you.

422
00:41:58,690 --> 00:41:59,810
I am David Polito.

423
00:42:01,550 --> 00:42:04,510
I would like to begin by giving my thanks

424
00:42:04,510 --> 00:42:09,530
to all members of faculty and giving my appreciation

425
00:42:09,530 --> 00:42:11,770
for all programs that are available at Oxford and High

426
00:42:11,770 --> 00:42:11,990
School.

427
00:42:12,950 --> 00:42:14,630
Of course, the Mesa program.

428
00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:22,630
and the FRC robotics team that are present at our school, both of which have been instrumental

429
00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:30,190
in giving me direction and a bit of focus in entering the world of STEM and engineering.

430
00:42:31,470 --> 00:42:39,150
The science department has a lot of my respect and I am incredibly thankful for such standouts

431
00:42:39,150 --> 00:42:47,690
as Mr. Peterson, and Mr. Robles, and a couple stand out avid teachers as well, such as Ms.

432
00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:50,430
Henshi, who is in the crowd here.

433
00:42:50,730 --> 00:42:51,210
Please stand up.

434
00:42:57,650 --> 00:43:01,110
The avid counselor, Ms. Juarez, who is also in attendance.

435
00:43:02,950 --> 00:43:03,470
And

436
00:43:06,610 --> 00:43:11,630
Mr. Romail, who has been an incredible help during these times of college applications.

437
00:43:13,310 --> 00:43:14,470
And thank you.

438
00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:18,750
David, when in your career at high school did you think about becoming an engineer, was

439
00:43:18,750 --> 00:43:20,910
that early on, or last couple of years?

440
00:43:21,470 --> 00:43:24,370
I think I've always wanted to be an engineer before I knew what that really meant.

441
00:43:24,830 --> 00:43:25,030
Okay.

442
00:43:26,570 --> 00:43:29,210
I've always had a fondness for technology.

443
00:43:29,710 --> 00:43:32,810
I've always been able to look at something and wonder how it worked.

444
00:43:33,290 --> 00:43:38,390
And before I really knew what the name of that profession was, I could tell people that

445
00:43:38,390 --> 00:43:41,990
I would like to play with electronics as a career.

446
00:43:41,990 --> 00:43:48,850
We should show us that check once again. That's it. We don't see those very often. Here's a very good

447
00:43:52,050 --> 00:43:57,570
David could you you shared something with me that was very special when we were at Oxnard High that day

448
00:43:57,570 --> 00:43:59,730
Could you tell this

449
00:44:00,270 --> 00:44:06,230
Board and the audience here today what it is that you want to do with your engineering to help third world countries?

450
00:44:06,410 --> 00:44:07,510
Could you tell us that?

451
00:44:07,510 --> 00:44:08,390
Correct. So

452
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:22,100
I believe that in nations such as around we have many resources and the ability

453
00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:28,440
to create a positive influence around the world, especially in the realm of technology.

454
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:37,220
With my degree I hope to contribute to a force to spread some of that technology where it is

455
00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:45,760
most, be it medical or in transportation or in simply providing lighting, where it is

456
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,660
not presently available.

457
00:44:53,220 --> 00:44:57,720
I would like to focus on these areas and hopefully invent new

458
00:44:57,720 --> 00:44:59,940
technology or adopt present lip.

459
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,820
Technology for use in these places, whatever. We wish you well, great aspiration. Thank you.

460
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:07,740
Thank you.

461
00:45:08,180 --> 00:45:12,930
I also like to thank mom, who's here, Ms. Polito. Thank you very much.

462
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:21,440
Let's have mom join, let's be, let's be rare, if you'll join them, please, and represent the board.

463
00:45:22,540 --> 00:45:28,020
And, Councillor, and, have a teacher, Wendy, please,

464
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:33,960
I wonder.

465
00:46:13,190 --> 00:46:13,590
Congratulations,

466
00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:21,560
and we have a 2019 College Board Counselor recognition.

467
00:46:24,430 --> 00:46:25,030
So busy.

468
00:46:25,130 --> 00:46:25,630
Hold on the check.

469
00:46:25,830 --> 00:46:26,970
I forgot to give him a certificate.

470
00:46:29,650 --> 00:46:31,370
Give me the child a check for you.

471
00:46:33,490 --> 00:46:38,630
So thank you for allowing me to present one of our staff here, because you know,

472
00:46:38,890 --> 00:46:41,870
I mean, as Miss Sher knows, it's talking about the power of a teacher.

473
00:46:42,530 --> 00:46:43,290
It's about the people.

474
00:46:43,290 --> 00:46:51,170
That's our biggest investment and we have activated and motivated staff than to great things like this happen.

475
00:46:51,370 --> 00:46:56,670
And so, I wanted to take a moment to recognize Ms. Watis who's a counselor at Oxford High School.

476
00:46:57,030 --> 00:47:01,210
The college board runs a recognition program for counselors and it's about equity and access.

477
00:47:01,370 --> 00:47:08,290
It's about counselors that have intentionality in their mission and are looking for those kids that are the diamonds and the rough,

478
00:47:08,290 --> 00:47:23,250
to grab them and route them into programs like Avid and Academies and Robotics and these things that will, that will activate a child and want to then find their passion and therefore take advantage of all the opportunities.

479
00:47:24,170 --> 00:47:36,130
That takes intentionality, Ms. Watt is when she first came to Oxford High School, we did not offer the SAT at Oxford High School as a Saturday venue, and she didn't think that was good enough, our students need to be able to come to their home school where they feel comfortable.

480
00:47:36,130 --> 00:47:38,910
And so she got that start of Oxford High School into this day.

481
00:47:38,930 --> 00:47:43,230
She still man's that program and ensures that every Saturday we have a full set of

482
00:47:43,230 --> 00:47:45,770
proctors and a wonderful learning environment for our students.

483
00:47:46,010 --> 00:47:49,950
So that's an example of her providing equity and access for our students at Oxford High School.

484
00:47:50,390 --> 00:47:54,430
She's also our NCAA Claring House expert when we had athletes come through

485
00:47:54,430 --> 00:47:58,870
Oxford High School who potentially wouldn't, as the NCAA tough in their rules,

486
00:47:59,350 --> 00:48:01,130
it became an area where you had to be an expert.

487
00:48:01,390 --> 00:48:02,710
She has become that expert.

488
00:48:02,710 --> 00:48:09,750
She, every student that receives a scholarship at Oxford High School goes through Miss Watis' office to ensure that they meet all the requirements.

489
00:48:10,490 --> 00:48:21,930
She's also our lead advocate counselor, she's avatrained, she's identified kids like David early on and made sure that they got the support that they needed, and she also works closely with our parent population.

490
00:48:22,550 --> 00:48:29,170
But mostly it's because she's looking for those diamonds in the rough with her intentionality and providing the equity and access that the college board

491
00:48:29,810 --> 00:48:33,830
chose to recognize her among a few select counselors in the United States this year.

492
00:48:33,990 --> 00:48:35,750
So thank you Ms. Watt, it's for all the work that you've done here.

493
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:43,300
We're very proud of you.

494
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,440
Thank you for everything that you do.

495
00:48:44,860 --> 00:48:45,180
Thanks.

496
00:48:45,580 --> 00:48:46,120
Great recognition.

497
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:47,680
I'm a product of OUHSDA.

498
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,320
I went to CI and graduated in nine.

499
00:48:50,540 --> 00:48:51,120
One of our own.

500
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:51,420
Great.

501
00:48:53,260 --> 00:48:58,280
So I'm very proud to come back and serve the people, you know, my community and serve the kids

502
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,180
because I see myself and a lot of these kids.

503
00:49:00,460 --> 00:49:02,520
So, you know, doing what we do.

504
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:03,600
We're proud of you.

505
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:03,880
Thank you.

506
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:09,400
Thank you for the nomination and recognition. I'm not kind of used to this. I'm used to giving awards

507
00:49:11,140 --> 00:49:14,840
So thank you and thank you Ms. Henshi. It takes a team to do all this. So

508
00:49:15,720 --> 00:49:17,680
We're fortunate to have you here

509
00:49:56,430 --> 00:49:57,390
Thank

510
00:50:02,030 --> 00:50:04,250
you very good once again congratulations thank you

511
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,320
I'm going to go to public comment.

512
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:43,960
Okay.

513
00:50:44,540 --> 00:50:44,980
Okay.

514
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,220
Audience, just once again, we're just staying with our agenda.

515
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:49,680
We have item 10 then completed.

516
00:50:50,220 --> 00:50:52,820
Next is item 11, public comments to address the board.

517
00:50:53,340 --> 00:50:56,860
And before I welcome those who wish to speak,

518
00:50:57,980 --> 00:51:01,220
let me mention that those persons wishing to address the board

519
00:51:01,220 --> 00:51:04,260
may do so at this time by completion of a speaker card.

520
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:05,300
There are blue cards.

521
00:51:05,540 --> 00:51:06,240
Have one here.

522
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:07,440
There are others in the back.

523
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:12,740
All public comments are to be directed to the Board President, individual speakers shall

524
00:51:12,740 --> 00:51:17,380
be allowed three minutes to address the board on each agenda or non-agenda item.

525
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:23,120
With board consent the President may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation,

526
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,680
depending on the topic and the number of persons wishing to be heard.

527
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:32,160
The President may pull the speakers for or against a particular issue and may ask that

528
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,400
an additional person speak only if they have something new to add.

529
00:51:35,860 --> 00:51:39,380
And this information is found in a board policy on procedures for

530
00:51:39,380 --> 00:51:41,020
communicating with the Board of Trustees.

531
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,300
And I have one speaker card at this time.

532
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:45,680
Dr. Irene Pinkard.

533
00:51:48,010 --> 00:51:48,970
Welcome Dr. Pinkard.

534
00:51:50,110 --> 00:51:52,030
Come to the podium, welcome, nice to see you.

535
00:51:52,350 --> 00:51:53,190
Good to be here.

536
00:51:53,490 --> 00:51:55,170
I'm sorry about my voice.

537
00:51:55,170 --> 00:52:00,270
I've been sick, but I thought it important to be here tonight.

538
00:52:00,270 --> 00:52:09,670
because I had experienced the CASA conference where a number of your staff were there.

539
00:52:10,890 --> 00:52:22,650
Dr. McCoy, principal, Ryan's, Ms. Victoria, Dr. Tresvatt, and several others I don't know their name,

540
00:52:22,650 --> 00:52:28,990
But I just want to say that Oxnard is always on the cutting edge.

541
00:52:29,550 --> 00:52:35,650
You sent those individuals there, and I think it's very important that Kasa,

542
00:52:35,910 --> 00:52:39,530
that's the California Association of African American Superintendents

543
00:52:39,530 --> 00:52:45,090
and administrators, that people be there to see what kinds of things are happening

544
00:52:45,090 --> 00:52:49,410
with our young people in the African American community, and see what kinds of things

545
00:52:49,410 --> 00:52:54,890
they can do to improve and enhance their success in the colleges.

546
00:52:55,490 --> 00:52:57,770
And I, your staff was just wonderful.

547
00:52:58,270 --> 00:53:03,310
They were highly regarded by people who were there.

548
00:53:03,830 --> 00:53:08,590
They asked questions, they were involved, and they wanted to know how can we help our

549
00:53:08,590 --> 00:53:09,910
African American students.

550
00:53:10,450 --> 00:53:16,810
And we talked about student equity and the funds that were made available through the conference

551
00:53:16,810 --> 00:53:22,930
last year that came through this year and some of those funds will be expended I think

552
00:53:22,930 --> 00:53:29,210
tonight and so I just wanted to say to you and I see that Dr. Pedro Guerra is here and

553
00:53:29,210 --> 00:53:37,430
he was one of the people we talked about last year and this year about equity and justice

554
00:53:38,050 --> 00:53:39,050
social justice.

555
00:53:39,630 --> 00:53:44,830
So I just want to say to you I really support what you're doing.

556
00:53:44,830 --> 00:53:54,130
I think he would be great with our youngsters, anywhere he's been, the students have excelled.

557
00:53:54,450 --> 00:54:01,530
He's nationally known, he's not someone who was just known in his community, he's a professor at UCLA,

558
00:54:02,350 --> 00:54:04,510
and does a lot of consulting worldwide.

559
00:54:05,070 --> 00:54:09,110
So I think he would be a good addition to whatever we're trying to do with our young people.

560
00:54:09,110 --> 00:54:14,570
And I just want you to know that I am so proud of Oxnard Union High School District.

561
00:54:15,130 --> 00:54:20,850
Every time people try and down it, they have a fight from me because I know the kinds

562
00:54:20,850 --> 00:54:23,510
of things that you're doing and what our students are doing.

563
00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:28,550
And you showed it to me right here with all of the awards, which tells me we're still doing

564
00:54:28,550 --> 00:54:29,170
great things.

565
00:54:29,470 --> 00:54:30,610
So thank you very much.

566
00:54:30,650 --> 00:54:31,330
Thank you, Dr. Baker.

567
00:54:31,550 --> 00:54:31,770
Very much.

568
00:54:35,570 --> 00:54:39,570
Dr. Baker, thank you for sharing those kind words with us and thank you for all that you

569
00:54:39,570 --> 00:54:43,510
You do have done and continue to do for the students and our community as well.

570
00:54:44,650 --> 00:54:45,910
Dr. Duke, that's what I said.

571
00:54:46,030 --> 00:54:48,810
We'll wait for three minute requirement if you want to come back off, you know.

572
00:54:51,350 --> 00:54:52,830
Thank you for your comments.

573
00:54:53,050 --> 00:54:53,450
Thank you.

574
00:54:53,630 --> 00:54:54,070
Thank you very much.

575
00:55:01,590 --> 00:55:03,050
Thank you, Dr. Pinker.

576
00:55:03,310 --> 00:55:04,350
It's so much.

577
00:55:04,430 --> 00:55:04,990
Thank you.

578
00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:07,230
You know how much we appreciate you and your support.

579
00:55:07,490 --> 00:55:12,250
I want to thank Dr. Pinker's remarks and ask trustees if you allow me to adjust our agenda

580
00:55:12,250 --> 00:55:15,650
And segue into, since you had mentioned item number

581
00:55:17,660 --> 00:55:20,140
15c.

582
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,640
I'd like to jump ahead with the approval of my colleagues.

583
00:55:24,820 --> 00:55:27,800
And Dr. Dalyone, if you and staff would lead us into an agreement,

584
00:55:28,260 --> 00:55:32,280
speaking of our very special guest in the audience and not take too much of his time.

585
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,520
I know he's going to give a lot of time in the future to this, but we don't want to take too much tonight.

586
00:55:36,620 --> 00:55:38,580
But let's go ahead if that's okay, just these.

587
00:55:38,980 --> 00:55:44,240
Okay, we'll, audience, we're going to jump to item 15c, then where we turn to the regular order of our judges.

588
00:55:44,240 --> 00:55:45,120
And Dr. Dalyam.

589
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:51,660
Thank you, Dr. Davis, members of the board, community, staff, and of course, our guests

590
00:55:51,660 --> 00:55:53,580
tonight and everyone in the audience.

591
00:55:53,680 --> 00:56:00,890
It is a great honor tonight to bring this action item to the board.

592
00:56:02,730 --> 00:56:03,630
As you know,

593
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:11,520
we have done a lot in this district to bring equity to our students, to set the

594
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:16,440
bar high for every student, and to try to ensure that our students leave and are set on the

595
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:22,780
path for powerful futures that every single, there are so many initiatives that this district

596
00:56:22,780 --> 00:56:31,300
has done from PSAT, SAT for all, college application to or for year for all, fast for, for every

597
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:39,380
single student, AP inclusion using the AP potential report, expansion of our IB program, all of our

598
00:56:39,380 --> 00:56:46,080
programs in this district ensuring that we're addressing disproportionality and suspensions

599
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,180
expulsions, all those things, we're working on all of those things and we have many great

600
00:56:50,180 --> 00:56:56,720
initiatives in this district and in my view, this next piece is the driver for everything

601
00:56:56,720 --> 00:57:04,540
that we do, this piece of really looking at as an organization at the, at every level,

602
00:57:04,660 --> 00:57:09,460
the district level, the site level schools looking at our data, both quantitative and qualitative,

603
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:15,480
and determining a strategic plan for how we can look at what we do through the cultural

604
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:21,900
proficiency in equity lens and honor the experience of our students who belong to populations

605
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:27,080
that have been traditionally disenfranchised in the educational system of the United States.

606
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:32,580
We know what that is, we know students of color, students of poverty, English learners,

607
00:57:33,020 --> 00:57:36,600
special education students, migrant ed, all of those things.

608
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:41,860
And we are so honored to have Dr. Nogara agree to come here tonight and present and talk

609
00:57:41,860 --> 00:57:47,120
talk to you about how he can help us move forward and take this district to the next step

610
00:57:47,710 --> 00:57:54,040
for powerful futures for every, when I say you know, when I say every, I mean every,

611
00:57:54,260 --> 00:57:56,940
I am not playing, I am not playing.

612
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:02,620
So we're going to do this and I do appreciate you allowing me to bring Dr. Nogara here tonight

613
00:58:02,620 --> 00:58:08,120
and without further ado, I would like to introduce Dr. Pedro Nogara and he will talk to you about

614
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:09,540
his work in this district.

615
00:58:09,700 --> 00:58:09,880
Thank you.

616
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:10,280
Welcome, Dr.

617
00:58:15,170 --> 00:58:21,490
Good evening, Dr. Davis, Board President, Dr. De Leon, Superintendent, members of the board.

618
00:58:22,050 --> 00:58:23,750
Thank you for having me tonight.

619
00:58:24,310 --> 00:58:28,850
I'm going to just, I know you have a copy of our proposal, I'm going to spend most of

620
00:58:28,850 --> 00:58:31,530
the time just hopefully taking your questions about what we're trying to do.

621
00:58:31,790 --> 00:58:39,750
I wanted to use a few minutes just to introduce myself and my team to my, so I'm Pedro

622
00:58:39,750 --> 00:58:43,830
I am a professor at UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies.

623
00:58:44,250 --> 00:58:47,030
Also a director of the Center for the Transformation of Schools.

624
00:58:47,830 --> 00:58:52,390
Been doing this kind of work for many years now and many districts throughout the country and throughout the world.

625
00:58:53,090 --> 00:58:58,990
And so we want to bring our experience and expertise to Oxnard to assist you in advancing the work.

626
00:58:59,550 --> 00:59:05,850
With me tonight is Isis Delgado who's a member of the team and Joaquin O'Gara who happens to have the same last name.

627
00:59:08,970 --> 00:59:13,630
So, and we can, I can tell you more about their backgrounds a little later.

628
00:59:14,810 --> 00:59:20,210
We frame our work around capacity building, and the idea behind capacity building is that

629
00:59:21,230 --> 00:59:27,670
we have to figure out how to provide the support to staff and to schools so they can better

630
00:59:27,670 --> 00:59:31,250
serve that students presently enrolled.

631
00:59:31,910 --> 00:59:35,330
Put most simply when the skills of the staff

632
00:59:35,330 --> 00:59:37,270
match the needs of the kids,

633
00:59:37,930 --> 00:59:39,350
achievement rises for everyone.

634
00:59:40,690 --> 00:59:42,130
That's easier said than done

635
00:59:42,790 --> 00:59:44,510
because the kinds of skills that are needed

636
00:59:44,510 --> 00:59:47,230
are not purely of a technical nature.

637
00:59:47,890 --> 00:59:49,830
They are also what we're going to call adaptive skills.

638
00:59:51,050 --> 00:59:52,630
We're going to work in both realms.

639
00:59:53,390 --> 00:59:56,210
The technical part is about the operations of your systems

640
00:59:56,210 --> 00:59:59,970
It's about how you use data, how you provide supports through your disk

641
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,460
District, the adaptive work is how you address school culture, student teacher relationships,

642
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:12,900
how you get parents involved, those are the critical elements for moving a school in

643
01:00:12,900 --> 01:00:18,040
a district forward, and that's where we're going to help. The key adaptive question is

644
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:25,880
in some ways the most simple question, and that is what does it take to serve the students

645
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,460
that you have here in Oxnard.

646
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,980
Too often we pose the question, especially in the high school district, are the students

647
01:00:32,980 --> 01:00:33,980
ready for us?

648
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,420
And I would say that we have to flip the question, are we ready for them?

649
01:00:37,860 --> 01:00:38,480
We know they're coming.

650
01:00:39,260 --> 01:00:45,920
The question is, do we have in place the supports, the resources, the know how to meet the needs?

651
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,340
To do that work, you actually have to know the kids.

652
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,880
And that means know how they learn, know about the challenges they face, know about their

653
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:58,620
dreams, their aspirations, because the more we know about the students we serve, the more

654
01:00:58,620 --> 01:00:59,700
we know about how to serve them.

655
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:06,480
As I was listening to the young man, David Polito, and we were talked before, the board

656
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:11,960
meeting tonight, and I was saying, if we just knew more about him and his path, we would

657
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:17,580
know a lot more about what it takes to provide that kind of support so more students could receive

658
01:01:17,580 --> 01:01:19,820
awards like that and achieve that kind of excellence.

659
01:01:20,340 --> 01:01:22,220
So that's the kind of work we'll be doing.

660
01:01:22,220 --> 01:01:29,220
Many of you by now have seen this chart, which illustrates the difference between equity

661
01:01:29,220 --> 01:01:34,760
and equality, and we know that equity work is, thank you, I'm experiencing allergies,

662
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,880
so I'm a little runny.

663
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,100
Equity work is about ensuring access.

664
01:01:41,180 --> 01:01:46,320
We also know that there's a reason why some kids consistently are ahead of others, and that

665
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:47,540
is usually because they start out ahead.

666
01:01:47,540 --> 01:01:51,800
They have more support at home, they have more invested in them.

667
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,700
Right now, the strongest predictor for how well our students will do in school.

668
01:01:56,140 --> 01:01:58,700
What kind of college they'll go to is family income.

669
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:04,980
We need to break that cycle because we know there are lots of talented kids who don't come from affluent families.

670
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:11,900
We know that education is the best path available to us for breaking the cycle of poverty and expanding opportunity.

671
01:02:12,660 --> 01:02:16,100
So for that to happen, we have to figure out how to eliminate barriers.

672
01:02:16,100 --> 01:02:22,840
The barriers to learning, the barriers to helping kids to achieve and develop their potential.

673
01:02:23,260 --> 01:02:30,720
That's a lot of our work, is identifying those barriers and helping you figure out what's the best way to ensure that those barriers are eliminated.

674
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,360
So to do that, we again frame our work around capacity building.

675
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:40,320
And capacity building starts by acknowledging and addressing the differences amongst our students.

676
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:46,340
We know that our kids, the test scores don't tell us a lot about who they are as a person,

677
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,780
what they how they learn, what their needs are.

678
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:58,840
And so figuring out how to address the differences, sometimes even within the same family you'll see differences among siblings with respect to achievement and performance.

679
01:02:59,420 --> 01:03:09,280
And so this is complicated and we can't pretend that it's simple and I think part of the reason why we haven't made more progress in the nation is we haven't provided sufficient guidance to the educators.

680
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:14,320
If you think about the policies we've adopted over the last few years, no child left behind.

681
01:03:14,620 --> 01:03:19,300
Now every student succeeds, great slogans, but lots of children left behind.

682
01:03:19,980 --> 01:03:22,940
And so we need to make sure that we are doing more.

683
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:28,880
We want to make sure we're responding not only to the academic needs, but also to the social and

684
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,060
developmental needs of a child because they're all related.

685
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,560
Tens to be the kids with the greatest needs or the kids who do the least well.

686
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:39,380
It also tends to be that in many schools, those are the children most likely to be disciplined.

687
01:03:40,020 --> 01:03:45,760
We need to figure out how do we do things differently so that we can ensure that all kids have the opportunity to learn.

688
01:03:46,580 --> 01:03:53,420
And then we want to make sure there's a commitment to fairness and that we speak out when we see the obstacles and

689
01:03:53,420 --> 01:03:57,440
we see patterns that we know are getting in the way.

690
01:03:58,180 --> 01:04:02,040
And so that's our job is to help you in doing that work.

691
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,940
We want to be clear that equity is not about lowering the standards.

692
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:14,200
If we lower the standards to try to ensure that all children have the opportunity then we have not served them well.

693
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:24,760
We want to ensure that all kids have access to a good college education that all kids are in a path when they're going to be able to support themselves and their families and contribute to their community and the society they're in.

694
01:04:25,140 --> 01:04:28,800
So it's not about lowering standards or making excuses about poverty or race.

695
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:33,440
We know that all kinds of kids can achieve with the right supports.

696
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:39,240
And so we want to make sure that all schools in Oxnard, not simply schools that serve

697
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,100
poor children or poor children of color, are doing the equity work.

698
01:04:42,700 --> 01:04:48,500
I worked with a very affluent district in Northern California with the average GPA at one

699
01:04:48,500 --> 01:04:54,940
high school two years ago was a 4.2 and they had equity issues.

700
01:04:55,600 --> 01:05:01,540
And their equity issues were depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation, cheating.

701
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:08,000
It's a mistake to assume that because kids are doing well academically, that we should not be concerned.

702
01:05:08,780 --> 01:05:16,100
And so having a broader lens at which we understand our kids and who they are and what they need is, I think, a critical part of this work.

703
01:05:16,980 --> 01:05:23,840
So our work will involve, first of all, on the first stage working with the Central Office to understand your systems, how you use data,

704
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:31,580
How you provide support currently, because we know that the central office plays a critical role in providing support to schools.

705
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:41,540
And so we will spend time studying you, working with your key administrators to understand the systems that are in place, and how well they work in providing support.

706
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:51,360
Secondly, in the fall, we would start what we call equity reviews, we will go into schools, we will observe classrooms, we will meet with educators and students.

707
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:54,260
to kind of get a sense of what's the learning climate,

708
01:05:54,740 --> 01:05:57,440
what the efficacy like for teachers,

709
01:05:57,980 --> 01:06:00,660
and how what kind of support do teachers receive.

710
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,520
That level of analysis at a school site level

711
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:08,000
is very important because too often we make assumptions

712
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,340
that what work in one place will work in another place

713
01:06:10,780 --> 01:06:13,060
and what typically ignores that the fact

714
01:06:13,060 --> 01:06:15,260
that each school has its own distinct culture

715
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,040
and understanding how to work with that culture

716
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,120
is a critical part of advancing equity.

717
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:24,540
And then the third phase is to work with you in developing a plan based on what we've learned.

718
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:30,680
We already can suspect that based on your data areas where supports are needed and

719
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:36,200
we'll be providing some of that but then we will learn some things through this review

720
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:42,200
that will help us in figuring out what next steps need to be taken and we will work with your

721
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:46,440
staff to make sure we devise a plan that is responsive to the needs of your schools.

722
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:55,300
So, the goal is to be as adaptive in our approach as possible by helping you in this capacity

723
01:06:55,300 --> 01:06:56,020
building work.

724
01:06:56,500 --> 01:07:02,920
It means, for example, ensuring that professional development for teachers is tailored, not everybody

725
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,020
getting the same thing because we know that not all teachers are the same.

726
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:11,780
And one of the things we don't do very well in schools is make sure that each teacher gets

727
01:07:11,780 --> 01:07:14,060
it's the kind of support that they need.

728
01:07:14,780 --> 01:07:18,060
Figuring out how to develop partnerships in the critical areas or

729
01:07:18,060 --> 01:07:22,480
we know additional support is needed because there are some areas where schools can't do it by themselves.

730
01:07:23,060 --> 01:07:26,580
We're community partnerships are critical to advancing the needs of children.

731
01:07:27,980 --> 01:07:30,320
And then there's the role of the district again.

732
01:07:30,860 --> 01:07:33,020
How does the district provide support to schools?

733
01:07:33,020 --> 01:07:34,740
Is their collaboration, is their trust?

734
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:40,300
So that schools feel that the help coming from the central office is truly responsive to their needs.

735
01:07:40,820 --> 01:07:44,620
And so, all of this is about the kind of work we're going to do.

736
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:49,680
Typically, the areas where change is needed is in focus on the whole child.

737
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,780
A recognition that the academic needs of a child are connected to their emotional,

738
01:07:54,020 --> 01:07:55,520
the psychological, and the social needs.

739
01:07:56,160 --> 01:08:01,860
And when we see children holistically, then we tend to respond in a different manner than we often do.

740
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:07,220
It's also about changing the way we work with each other from commands.

741
01:08:07,220 --> 01:08:15,520
And I'm not saying that that's how you do things in oxen or it, but it happens in some places to a more trust-based approach.

742
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:24,680
And then finally, the need for cultural competence amongst the staff so that our staff can work with all kinds of students and not just children who are of the same backgrounds.

743
01:08:26,380 --> 01:08:31,080
Ultimately, we want to work with you in implementing an agenda that leads to greater coherence.

744
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:35,760
If you read the work of Michael Fallon, who's written extensively about the highest

745
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:41,660
performing urban school district in North America, and that district is Toronto, you'll

746
01:08:41,660 --> 01:08:46,240
see their whole strategy focus on capacity building and building coherence in the strategy.

747
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:47,280
That takes time.

748
01:08:48,480 --> 01:08:52,960
We want to make sure that data is used correctly to monitor progress over time so that we're

749
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:57,500
not simply guessing and hoping, but we actually have evidence that what we're doing is making

750
01:08:57,500 --> 01:08:57,920
a difference.

751
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:03,520
And then we have feedback from the stakeholders, from parents, from students themselves,

752
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,540
and of course from your teachers and staff, very important.

753
01:09:07,020 --> 01:09:12,440
And then we're going to draw upon research-based interventions that we know other schools and

754
01:09:12,440 --> 01:09:14,960
districts around the country that are making more progress in utilizing.

755
01:09:15,440 --> 01:09:19,080
And so one of the advantages that our team has is we get a chance to see and

756
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:25,900
we can actually take staff to visit other schools so they can see how our similar problem is being approached in another place.

757
01:09:25,900 --> 01:09:31,040
It doesn't mean we can just replicate, but it doesn't mean we can't learn from seeing those examples.

758
01:09:32,340 --> 01:09:37,300
I think I'll stop there and take your comments and questions.

759
01:09:37,420 --> 01:09:37,780
Thank you.

760
01:09:38,780 --> 01:09:40,960
Trustee's, what input or comments would you have?

761
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:41,600
Trustee, share.

762
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:43,520
Thank you.

763
01:09:43,660 --> 01:09:46,380
This is wonderful and we're so happy to have you here, so thank you.

764
01:09:46,940 --> 01:09:51,460
My question, my first question, I think I'll just start with your last slide when you talk

765
01:09:51,460 --> 01:09:55,240
talk about taking staff to other schools.

766
01:09:55,820 --> 01:09:57,280
So my question is two parts.

767
01:09:57,420 --> 01:10:00,060
When you say staff, who do you mean exactly?

768
01:10:01,300 --> 01:10:06,760
And the other is, when we visit schools, are we visiting public schools as opposed to

769
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:07,340
charter schools?

770
01:10:07,820 --> 01:10:11,360
So we'd always visit public schools, schools that are like yours, right?

771
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,820
Because I think you'll learn best, and that serves some of our populations.

772
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:19,420
And who we take will depend a lot on what is we want to focus on.

773
01:10:19,420 --> 01:10:26,100
So if we're focusing on English learners, we'd want to take them to see a school that has an excellent program and

774
01:10:26,100 --> 01:10:29,300
approach to serving English learners or special ed students.

775
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,460
So it'll depend a lot on the area that we're focused on.

776
01:10:32,700 --> 01:10:37,360
So when you say taking staff, do you mean administrators or do you mean teachers?

777
01:10:38,340 --> 01:10:41,240
We'll work with you to figure out who are the bright people to have.

778
01:10:41,480 --> 01:10:46,220
We know that taking people out of the building is a challenge because that means that you have to get substitutes.

779
01:10:46,220 --> 01:10:51,380
So we work with you to figure out what's the best group to take, but obviously you want to have the

780
01:10:51,380 --> 01:10:55,300
practitioners, the teachers involved because they're the ones doing the work.

781
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,900
Right, so that would be my first question, but I'll let others ask some more.

782
01:10:59,160 --> 01:10:59,420
Thank you.

783
01:10:59,580 --> 01:11:00,580
Mr. Herrera, your next please?

784
01:11:00,780 --> 01:11:00,920
Yes.

785
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,340
Thank you so much for bringing your expertise to our district.

786
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:09,500
We definitely would like to hear a lot more, right, but you're just getting started.

787
01:11:10,020 --> 01:11:12,980
So my question is regards to the research-based interventions.

788
01:11:12,980 --> 01:11:19,340
Our district has committed to providing an array of strategies services to our students

789
01:11:19,340 --> 01:11:21,920
based on district staff recommendation.

790
01:11:23,340 --> 01:11:29,380
Are you going to be able to evaluate what those current interventions strategies are

791
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:36,380
to determine whether those are the most effective or best practices to meet the needs of the students

792
01:11:36,380 --> 01:12:02,700
that we serve because I would love to hear from an outsider, we spend a lot of resources and are those the best ones for the population, the students that we have, the faculty that we have here that are providing the instructional components and what type of strategies interventions they would think might they might want to see as well.

793
01:12:02,700 --> 01:12:05,560
So I want to see, kind of, are you going to get into the weeds that way?

794
01:12:05,860 --> 01:12:10,660
Or is it all going to be more so general that we're not going to take away a specific

795
01:12:10,660 --> 01:12:11,000
thing?

796
01:12:11,540 --> 01:12:15,200
No, we'll get into the weeds with you to ask those kinds of questions.

797
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,660
So for example, tonight I heard Avid mention a couple times.

798
01:12:18,940 --> 01:12:20,260
I'm a big supportive Avid.

799
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,700
I know a lot about the program is served on advisory board for Avid for several years.

800
01:12:24,500 --> 01:12:30,080
Question is, if it's working, and that's a good question, with respect to the children

801
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:36,540
students it serves to what degree is the expertise that teachers acquire through average

802
01:12:36,540 --> 01:12:40,520
being shared so that it's now available in other parts of the school.

803
01:12:41,020 --> 01:12:45,220
So one of the challenges we have in education is we'll see something that works but we don't

804
01:12:45,220 --> 01:12:49,160
know how to replicate and we don't know how to make it available in other places.

805
01:12:49,780 --> 01:12:56,640
We have supplemental monies coming in through LCAP or through Title I. Do those monies make

806
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:57,020
a difference?

807
01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:58,460
How do we know?

808
01:12:58,460 --> 01:13:04,040
for whom. Those are the kinds of questions we'll be exploring with you, both looking at the data and

809
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:10,260
that the data tells you part of the answer then you need to go into the classroom to figure out what is actually happening.

810
01:13:11,060 --> 01:13:19,240
So we will be going into the weeds. We know for example, early intervention systems work a lot better than late intervention.

811
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:26,040
But most schools do late intervention, right? We wait until a students miss several days before we say,

812
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:30,500
We have a truer on our hands before we figure out how to get that child back in school

813
01:13:30,500 --> 01:13:39,280
So we will work with you to analyze data to figure out what kinds of systems need to be put in place and to also ask the question

814
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:43,920
How well do the supports you have already work at meeting the needs of students?

815
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,200
Dr. Garrow, we're very fortunate to have you and your staff

816
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:55,900
Partner with us and we'll look forward to working with you and you're working with us and future reports

817
01:13:55,900 --> 01:14:00,190
But welcome to our district and yeah, thank you very much. Thank you. It's a pleasure. I'm gonna look forward to it

818
01:14:03,940 --> 01:14:07,600
Sorry, one more will you be interviewing board members?

819
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:11,440
You recommend it

820
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:18,040
We can certainly do that. We can certainly do that and I know that several of you are educators yourself. So

821
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:22,680
It's good to have a board members who actually understand it. They're all

822
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:23,520
educated.

823
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:29,020
So, a board member who understand education and therefore probably have a perspective on

824
01:14:29,020 --> 01:14:29,580
some of the issues.

825
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:33,660
So, your perspective would be very important, especially because you get to set the direction

826
01:14:33,660 --> 01:14:34,360
for the district.

827
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:40,240
And so, understanding what your values lie, where your priorities lie is very important.

828
01:14:40,700 --> 01:14:40,980
Thank you.

829
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,440
When Dr. De Leon first came to the district, we said we have good news and bad news.

830
01:14:44,700 --> 01:14:47,180
The good news is you have five educators to work with.

831
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,100
The bad news is you have five educators to work with.

832
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:50,520
That's right.

833
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:54,840
But we work well together and we're proud of that and proud that you're going to be a part of our family as well.

834
01:14:54,840 --> 01:15:00,020
That's great. I always say in districts, you know, the districts that are making those...

835
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:20,500
Yes, progress, have stability. They're not spending a lot of time fighting each other, because when you're fighting, you have no energy to sell problems. So I want to just say I commend you for just even the positive focus we felt this evening with acknowledging the staff and your students. That's, I think, a critical part of this work. So thank you for the opportunity. Thank you very much.

836
01:15:24,340 --> 01:15:32,300
And trustees to in this presentation. And trustees, the staff has recommended to approve the agreement between the Oxnard Union High School District.

837
01:15:32,300 --> 01:15:35,920
and P.A. Unlimited for School Equity Reviews as President.

838
01:15:36,260 --> 01:15:37,180
Make a motion to approve.

839
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:37,640
Second.

840
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:39,460
Any further discussion on that?

841
01:15:40,780 --> 01:15:41,760
Those in favor say aye.

842
01:15:42,140 --> 01:15:42,280
Aye.

843
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:42,900
Any opposed?

844
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:44,220
Passes 50.

845
01:15:44,220 --> 01:15:45,600
Once again, thank you very much.

846
01:15:45,740 --> 01:15:45,900
Thank you.

847
01:15:46,380 --> 01:15:46,740
Thank you.

848
01:15:47,100 --> 01:15:54,740
Please add for the record just so that you know one time I actually added up how much education

849
01:15:55,400 --> 01:16:00,420
experience our executive cabinet and our board has 147 years.

850
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:01,980
So we're happy to have you.

851
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:02,300
Thank you.

852
01:16:02,300 --> 01:16:02,520
Thank you.

853
01:16:03,100 --> 01:16:06,220
We're going to take a five minute stand and stretch break for the audience as well as

854
01:16:06,220 --> 01:16:06,420
us.

855
01:21:57,130 --> 01:21:59,190
Can you begin to find your places please?

856
01:22:56,070 --> 01:22:56,170
No.

857
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,740
Dr. Dalyun, we're here on next.

858
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:17,420
Thank you audience for that.

859
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:19,760
Continuing with our agenda, we're on item number 12.

860
01:23:20,540 --> 01:23:22,060
We look forward to the superintendent's report.

861
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:23,300
Dr. Dalyun.

862
01:23:23,540 --> 01:23:23,700
Yes.

863
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:27,600
And in the interest of times as we're going to have a long meeting, I didn't do all the slides

864
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:31,260
because there would have been 50 slides because I do have many shout outs.

865
01:23:31,260 --> 01:23:34,540
So I'm going to do this, and we have to recognize people.

866
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,780
We do, we're doing amazing things, so I just have to do it.

867
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,960
So first shout-outs, so this is all stuff

868
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,160
since the last time we met, and it's a lot.

869
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,740
So first of all, shout-out to Marianne Ramos and the Ed

870
01:23:47,740 --> 01:23:51,680
Services team who put on an amazing Oxnard Union Summit

871
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:55,920
professional development day on March 18th.

872
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,100
So trusty share was able to come by and spend

873
01:24:01,100 --> 01:24:07,280
the day with us. It was amazing. Our keynote was Sunny Magganya, who does the transformational

874
01:24:08,220 --> 01:24:17,720
teaching. It was incredible. Over, we had over 80 teacher-led workshops. They were jam-packed.

875
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:27,820
It was phenomenal. And then, really, to me, the absolute best thing that I saw that day

876
01:24:27,820 --> 01:24:34,340
was that we did an inclusivity panel where we had our LGBTQ kids both past and present

877
01:24:34,340 --> 01:24:41,160
come and talk to us about their experiences at our schools and give us recommendations

878
01:24:41,820 --> 01:24:47,060
about how they want to be treated at school and it was I know trusty share went to one

879
01:24:47,060 --> 01:24:52,320
of them it was absolutely incredible so anyway so many many thanks to Oxnard Hyde for hosting

880
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:57,180
as well thank you very much was a lot of work I appreciate it also shout out to high school

881
01:24:57,180 --> 01:25:04,900
National Nation, non-profit organization who supports music education and trying to get

882
01:25:04,900 --> 01:25:11,020
kids into the music industry and they did a free festival, a surprise festival at Winemey

883
01:25:11,020 --> 01:25:19,440
High School showed up, Mr. Ayala, how did it go? Did your kids love it? Okay, good. So

884
01:25:19,440 --> 01:25:22,860
we want to do that in all of our schools. I think we've had it at Pacifica in the past.

885
01:25:22,860 --> 01:25:30,620
I think Camarillo in the past so anyway an amazing event for kids and I just want to say that to thank the high school nation team and

886
01:25:30,620 --> 01:25:41,160
Winemy high school. Also I want to thank our SH team and Josh Brown and his team for the brand new. If you haven't seen it you've got to go by and see that new

887
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:51,080
SH lunch area at Winemy high school. We've been working on that. It used to be dirt. I mean like literally dirt and it would blow in the

888
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:55,940
kids faces and they had no place to sit and it was ah no it was not good and so

889
01:25:55,940 --> 01:25:59,560
now they have this awesome lunch area and they have tables where the chairs

890
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:05,040
can roll under the tables and we've ordered shade and it's amazing so thank

891
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:12,380
you to those teams another shout out to one of our own very own trustees so on

892
01:26:12,380 --> 01:26:23,140
In March 30, Delta Kappa gamma sorority for educational women, honored one of our own shout-out

893
01:26:23,140 --> 01:26:29,440
to Trustee Herrera, who was recognized as the community leader of the year.

894
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:30,760
It was incredible.

895
01:26:32,140 --> 01:26:32,940
And

896
01:26:36,050 --> 01:26:40,830
Trustee Herrera gave an amazing speech and they said so many awesome things.

897
01:26:41,390 --> 01:26:48,330
I got an invitation and they said it was a surprise and yeah, it was amazing.

898
01:26:48,630 --> 01:26:49,270
It was just great.

899
01:26:49,390 --> 01:26:54,190
And I didn't even know about the Delta Kappa Gamma chapter here, so we need to get information

900
01:26:54,190 --> 01:26:56,130
so that we can be part of it as well.

901
01:26:56,450 --> 01:26:56,570
Yes.

902
01:26:57,150 --> 01:26:57,670
Yes.

903
01:26:57,910 --> 01:26:58,350
It's wonderful.

904
01:26:58,390 --> 01:26:59,130
Tell us about it.

905
01:26:59,190 --> 01:26:59,370
Yes.

906
01:27:00,930 --> 01:27:01,710
Thank you.

907
01:27:02,090 --> 01:27:09,350
But I really wanted to add that the words that I express were about the changes that you

908
01:27:09,350 --> 01:27:13,150
as educators, everyone in this room makes and students lives.

909
01:27:13,750 --> 01:27:22,690
The impact you have is beyond what we could calculate and tabulate, you make a difference

910
01:27:22,690 --> 01:27:25,950
every single time you connect with a student.

911
01:27:26,150 --> 01:27:26,650
So thank you.

912
01:27:27,130 --> 01:27:28,550
Thank you, Trustee Gerrera.

913
01:27:29,330 --> 01:27:30,310
So a few more.

914
01:27:30,570 --> 01:27:32,610
So shout out to Oxnard Adult School.

915
01:27:33,010 --> 01:27:37,570
They had their report out for WASC on April 3rd was glowing.

916
01:27:37,570 --> 01:27:41,870
that I wanted to say that the whole team just wanted to stay and work at Oxnard

917
01:27:41,870 --> 01:27:48,430
Adult School. Am I right Kathy? They did. And so, yes, yes. So it was great.

918
01:27:48,650 --> 01:27:52,550
It was an amazing visit. So thank you to the WASC team at Oxnard Adult School.

919
01:27:53,190 --> 01:27:58,890
I have to give a shout out to Miss Kim and all the folks at Rio Mesa for

920
01:27:58,890 --> 01:28:04,030
putting on an amazing IB Art Show that they do yearly at the Camarillo Ranch House.

921
01:28:05,270 --> 01:28:10,810
This was the 10-year anniversary and they had students from year one come back and talk

922
01:28:10,810 --> 01:28:14,790
about what they were doing and show their art and it was amazing, amazing.

923
01:28:16,430 --> 01:28:21,530
Also that same night, I have to give a shout out to Rancho Campana High School.

924
01:28:22,070 --> 01:28:24,410
They do a different kind of an open house.

925
01:28:25,170 --> 01:28:30,750
They have what they call an exhibition night and performances of course and all those things.

926
01:28:30,750 --> 01:28:36,690
but what they do is you know what are they called those QR codes? They put QR

927
01:28:36,690 --> 01:28:41,310
codes on the wall of all the kids projects and you use your phone and you go

928
01:28:41,310 --> 01:28:46,010
like that and you view their digital project on your phone as you walk around

929
01:28:46,010 --> 01:28:50,950
the campus. Absolutely amazing. I mean like State of the Art, they're so creative

930
01:28:50,950 --> 01:28:55,270
and it's just an amazing event so I want to give shout out to the teachers at

931
01:28:55,270 --> 01:28:58,670
Rancho Compana who are always so innovative and they're taking everything to

932
01:28:58,670 --> 01:29:04,470
the next level all the time. Yesterday, we had an amazing event, so shout out to all of

933
01:29:04,470 --> 01:29:10,810
our students who represented their schools at the Youth Truth Forum panel yesterday.

934
01:29:11,030 --> 01:29:16,630
We had representatives six to eight, ten at some sites from every single school who talked

935
01:29:16,630 --> 01:29:20,770
about their experiences at our school. Marissa, was there, do you want to tell them a little

936
01:29:20,770 --> 01:29:21,270
bit about it?

937
01:29:22,430 --> 01:29:27,250
It was, I think, an awesome experience because I finally got to see my voice of like, I got

938
01:29:27,250 --> 01:29:57,230
I got to speak for other students and I got to hear a lot about other schools and I came to the realization that a lot of us have a lot of the same problems that we need to understand and that we need to fix collectively as a group so I'm really thankful that I got the opportunity to speak not only for my school for district wide and also doing this with the being part of the board I am able to speak my mind I guess more often than other students but I was really thankful for the experience and seeing all the results from the survey that I took months ago.

939
01:29:57,230 --> 01:30:00,030
And I was like, oh, this is really what other people think, and like...

940
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:29,980
Seeing the difference between my results versus other people's results of how different we experience high school and how we feel our teachers treat us or how I treat other teachers. It was such an amazing experience being able to see not just mind but district wide from other schools and how every school is different. And there was a lot of shocking results too that I just didn't expect. And I'm really thankful for that. The board and other members are putting forth the effort to try to make the effort. I'm putting forth the effort to make change and to help us as students.

941
01:30:29,980 --> 01:30:35,020
So I would like to thank all of you guys for that and I think it's really amazing and I wish I can come to the meeting tomorrow

942
01:30:35,020 --> 01:30:41,640
But I can't I have a tracking. I can't wait to see what you guys do. Thank you Marissa. So speaking of the meeting tomorrow

943
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:47,980
So what she's referring to is for the first time ever our student reps are coming to our community

944
01:30:47,980 --> 01:30:55,480
Not our students always go to our LCAP meetings, but they are going to come present their results and what they want

945
01:30:55,480 --> 01:30:59,940
Not from us as a district at our LCAP stakeholder meeting tomorrow night.

946
01:31:00,140 --> 01:31:02,360
It's going to be powerful, we're having a youth panel.

947
01:31:02,580 --> 01:31:05,680
It means a lot to me and this district to hear from our kids.

948
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:09,520
And so, what time, 6'36?

949
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:14,580
We will be right here at 6 o'clock to 7'30 tomorrow in the boardroom.

950
01:31:14,860 --> 01:31:21,380
The students will kick off the meeting with the students who participated in the youth truth activity yesterday.

951
01:31:21,380 --> 01:31:25,320
a team of them are going to come together and present the results and then serve as

952
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:29,120
a panel so that our community members, parents, staff, and students can ask questions.

953
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,260
So we would love to have as many folks out for that as possible.

954
01:31:33,460 --> 01:31:35,940
They will actually be in these very seats tomorrow night.

955
01:31:36,480 --> 01:31:41,500
I'm going to be amazing and they're going to be talking about goal two which is their feelings

956
01:31:41,500 --> 01:31:46,060
about college and career readiness and goal three which is school climate and culture.

957
01:31:46,540 --> 01:31:49,820
How it is to go to school in our district.

958
01:31:49,820 --> 01:31:52,620
So thank you so much for us. I'm so excited about tomorrow.

959
01:31:53,500 --> 01:31:59,260
And then also last night we had our annual Oxnard Union High School District Arch Show at the

960
01:31:59,260 --> 01:32:03,220
so many thanks to the Channel Islands Maritime Museum.

961
01:32:03,220 --> 01:32:05,340
They hosted every single year. It was great.

962
01:32:05,460 --> 01:32:09,640
We recognized multiple multiple students from five different categories last night.

963
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:17,260
And then lastly, last but no, oh, oh, and I wanted to thank Jay for his help with the youth truth.

964
01:32:17,260 --> 01:32:21,640
I think Jay's in the back he did an amazing thing oh and another thing we have to remember

965
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:28,280
that Jay does a Twitter feed about youth truth throughout our district where kids he asks

966
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:35,260
really critical questions about their experience and that kids kids tweet information and have

967
01:32:35,260 --> 01:32:44,380
conversations about their experiences at our school so okay and then the last thing for the third year

968
01:32:44,380 --> 01:32:50,960
in a row, Adolfo Camarillo has been recognized by the State of California as a Civic Learning Award.

969
01:32:51,140 --> 01:32:53,360
So congratulations to Adolfo Camarillo High School.

970
01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:57,800
All right, I think that's enough of shout outs for tonight.

971
01:32:58,400 --> 01:32:59,300
Very appropriate shout outs.

972
01:32:59,300 --> 01:33:01,100
All right, thank you all, that appreciate it.

973
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:01,460
Thank you.

974
01:33:02,260 --> 01:33:03,140
Very good time of year.

975
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:03,960
Special good time of year.

976
01:33:04,900 --> 01:33:06,660
Speaking of Ritzah, welcome once again.

977
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:08,860
What would you like to add to what you've shared with us already?

978
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:13,900
Besides the board, besides the monthly report, not much is going on in schools right now.

979
01:33:13,900 --> 01:33:17,800
It's very, it's like in the spring, spring sports are coming up, spring sports rallies,

980
01:33:18,860 --> 01:33:22,740
just dances, the Spanish dance is really popular right now, but there isn't really anything

981
01:33:22,740 --> 01:33:28,300
too exciting going on anywhere, but I did have like just, it's not really a concern, but I would

982
01:33:28,300 --> 01:33:32,660
like to mention that I would really appreciate if we got more help to get more restroom availability.

983
01:33:34,300 --> 01:33:40,240
I know, I was on my school, school site council last year, and I know it was a problem at every

984
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:43,120
single meeting we would always talk about it, and we would always be like, yes, we would make the change,

985
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:46,740
And it would happen for a while, but it wouldn't really stay consistent.

986
01:33:47,140 --> 01:33:50,380
And it's a problem that's been going on district-wide.

987
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:53,800
And I think I would really, really appreciate it if we just got more help.

988
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:58,200
At least from the board to just be like, hey, this is a problem because I do really like your

989
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:02,540
restroom, going to the restroom and having available restrooms and clean restrooms is a basic

990
01:34:02,540 --> 01:34:09,060
human necessity, especially if you're there for so long I do know that this is a problem

991
01:34:09,060 --> 01:34:09,560
district-wide.

992
01:34:09,660 --> 01:34:11,700
And I think it's something that we need to improve on.

993
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:13,380
Thank you very much.

994
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:14,580
Can I ask a follow-up question?

995
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:21,420
Is it cleanliness, or they're locked, or is they're vaping, or is it all the above?

996
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:24,920
Or what exactly is that you've noticed is the issue?

997
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,580
I know that restroom availability was an issue a lot less than my school.

998
01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:31,640
After school, at three o'clock, they would be locked, like the bathrooms.

999
01:34:32,480 --> 01:34:35,640
So it was either everybody go to the office bathroom or you just wait till you got home.

1000
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,680
And I know we brought that up to the schools like counseling.

1001
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:41,600
and then we did get restrooms open until 4.30 I believe.

1002
01:34:42,060 --> 01:34:43,820
So someone was supervising the bathrooms,

1003
01:34:43,820 --> 01:34:47,280
but the lack of them being open during nutrition

1004
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:49,680
and during lunch, it's one bathroom

1005
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,840
with like five stalls for every single girl

1006
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:53,140
and at the whole school.

1007
01:34:53,660 --> 01:34:55,600
And it is also the cleanliness of like, you know,

1008
01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:58,060
sometimes toilet paper or toilet paper cover seats.

1009
01:34:58,340 --> 01:35:01,140
So I think it's something that needs to be checked up regularly

1010
01:35:01,140 --> 01:35:03,720
because it is, and I'm pretty sure it happens

1011
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:04,740
with the teachers' restrooms too.

1012
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:06,560
Like I'm not saying it just happens with the students' restrooms,

1013
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:10,120
but I think that's something that we need to work on together as, like, every single

1014
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:10,340
district.

1015
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:12,700
I mean, every single school.

1016
01:35:13,620 --> 01:35:17,820
That's what I was going to ask you, just to silence, or did you hear about it at

1017
01:35:17,820 --> 01:35:18,540
other schools too?

1018
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:22,720
I asked all of the ASP presidents and they said that it was a problem at their school as

1019
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:22,920
well.

1020
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:27,840
I know I saw a tweet not too long ago from my Neemey High School where the line was crazy

1021
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:30,580
be long for the girls' bathroom.

1022
01:35:30,980 --> 01:35:33,860
And it makes us late to class.

1023
01:35:36,180 --> 01:35:37,860
Sometimes I don't even go to the bathroom just

1024
01:35:37,860 --> 01:35:39,460
because I don't want to wait in that long line

1025
01:35:39,460 --> 01:35:42,220
and I just wait until either I get to the locker room

1026
01:35:42,220 --> 01:35:42,900
or something else.

1027
01:35:43,180 --> 01:35:46,140
But I think the lack of, I know that supervision is a problem

1028
01:35:46,140 --> 01:35:48,440
that you have to have the bathroom supervising everything.

1029
01:35:48,940 --> 01:35:50,820
But I think you would be really, really helpful

1030
01:35:50,820 --> 01:35:52,920
if we just got more bathrooms open.

1031
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:56,400
There's like five bathrooms on campus and there's one open.

1032
01:35:56,400 --> 01:36:03,000
Certainly justified request so can we bring that back just as a reward I would like to see the follow-up

1033
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:08,300
Thank you for bringing that forward. Thank you for bringing it. And thank you very much for hearing me out. Yes, that's why you're here

1034
01:36:08,300 --> 01:36:10,240
We want to hear you out of any time

1035
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:14,780
Yes, the article in the student paper channel out in high school high school of

1036
01:36:16,180 --> 01:36:18,020
2500 kids it's a large high school

1037
01:36:18,020 --> 01:36:22,240
They had one bathroom for girls so one for boys open at lunchtime

1038
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:27,420
So that means that kids are being late, tardy to class because they have to wait to go to the restroom.

1039
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:35,720
And so we had the facilities and I know in the article that said that the need for

1040
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:40,000
a supply, soap, paper is not being brought to the office.

1041
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:45,420
Well, a staff member needs to check every day to make sure that they're adequately supplied.

1042
01:36:45,660 --> 01:36:51,780
It shouldn't depend upon students to come to the office and say there's no paper in the restroom.

1043
01:36:51,780 --> 01:36:58,000
So someone needs to check it on a daily basis, and I think before school starts is appropriate time.

1044
01:36:58,480 --> 01:36:58,680
Really?

1045
01:36:59,380 --> 01:36:59,760
But you sure?

1046
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:00,380
I

1047
01:37:02,590 --> 01:37:03,010
have a question.

1048
01:37:03,230 --> 01:37:05,550
I have an answer piggyback on Trustee Edmunds.

1049
01:37:05,830 --> 01:37:11,730
When you do, when ladies are in the restroom, are there sanitary products available?

1050
01:37:13,810 --> 01:37:19,570
There is, but the few times that I have checked, it's either there is some or there isn't any.

1051
01:37:20,050 --> 01:37:29,330
But I know if you do go to the office and you ask her when they are in the office, but that is a walk from like the bathroom to the office, so they are there, they're not regularly.

1052
01:37:30,170 --> 01:37:33,050
Yeah, so on a consistent basis, are they empty?

1053
01:37:33,610 --> 01:37:33,850
Yes.

1054
01:37:34,610 --> 01:37:35,370
Consistent like pretty.

1055
01:37:35,670 --> 01:37:36,270
Okay. Thank you.

1056
01:37:36,590 --> 01:37:42,010
And I know at I know at least at our school for the bathrooms in the track area.

1057
01:37:42,150 --> 01:37:44,870
There isn't anywhere you could put like, you can throw them away properly.

1058
01:37:44,870 --> 01:37:46,750
And I think that also needs to be.

1059
01:37:46,750 --> 01:37:49,270
Well, yes, and I don't know if that happens out of the school.

1060
01:37:49,410 --> 01:37:53,030
I didn't ask them there isn't a place where you can like properly through a way.

1061
01:37:53,270 --> 01:37:56,930
Disposable, like dispose of your feminine products.

1062
01:37:57,070 --> 01:38:00,890
And I know that that's a problem maybe not just at my school, but maybe at other schools as well.

1063
01:38:01,070 --> 01:38:03,090
It's so important to have your voice on the board.

1064
01:38:03,230 --> 01:38:03,930
Thank you, yeah.

1065
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:07,040
Thank you, thank you very much.

1066
01:38:08,700 --> 01:38:12,500
Just because of the return to our agenda then, we've had the superintendent's report,

1067
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:15,640
the student of representative to the board, we're going on to consent.

1068
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:17,660
And then we have pulled for the audience information.

1069
01:38:18,180 --> 01:38:25,640
For consent, we have pulled only items D, S, and M, right, yes.

1070
01:38:26,140 --> 01:38:33,960
Double M, double M, and before we go ahead and approve that, because we know that there are teachers in the audience ready to answer questions.

1071
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:44,040
If we had any questions regarding item X, the approval of the new courses, we do appreciate, and many of us on the board have shared the experience that you have done for us.

1072
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:48,660
We do appreciate the time, the energy, and all the procedures.

1073
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,580
You need to go through to bring a new course to our attention.

1074
01:38:51,900 --> 01:38:54,920
So we know you're going to be leaving probably after this next item, but

1075
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:56,580
we wanted to say right ahead of time.

1076
01:38:56,860 --> 01:38:58,280
Thank you for everything that you do.

1077
01:38:58,580 --> 01:39:04,780
These are great ideas that wasn't an item pulled, which means that we're going to accept as you have presented them.

1078
01:39:04,900 --> 01:39:08,120
So we just want to say thank you very much for the good work that you do all the time.

1079
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:22,920
So, with the exceptions that I made, trustees, we have items, consent, items, as presented, item 14, as noted, except for the three that we're going to discuss with a little bit.

1080
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:24,960
Do I have a motion then to accept the consent item?

1081
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:25,760
Move to a group.

1082
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:26,580
We have a motion.

1083
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:30,360
And second, just, Trustee Scher, those in favor say aye.

1084
01:39:30,820 --> 01:39:31,060
Aye.

1085
01:39:31,380 --> 01:39:31,620
Any opposed?

1086
01:39:32,140 --> 01:39:32,700
Thank you.

1087
01:39:32,940 --> 01:39:36,160
Trustee Haul, I just have a, I mean, Trustee I just want to comment about this.

1088
01:39:36,540 --> 01:39:40,080
To the faculty and the audience, just so you know process,

1089
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:42,960
Because we have an opportunity to be able to ask questions in advance.

1090
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:48,240
So just because we don't have questions for you at the session, many of our questions have

1091
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:50,700
already been answered through Dr. McCoy's office.

1092
01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:51,680
Yes.

1093
01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:54,000
And that's a good point that you make.

1094
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:57,140
And for the audience information, because you don't know what happens, but just to save time

1095
01:39:57,140 --> 01:40:03,020
and efficiency, I had asked for example, because of my background, what was the difference between

1096
01:40:03,020 --> 01:40:07,180
the American literature course in English 3, which I was honored to teach upon a time.

1097
01:40:07,180 --> 01:40:16,340
And Dr. McCoy answered that, and we asked some questions about health education because we've dealt with the health education over the years and massage that course and add it and subtract it.

1098
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:20,020
So we do have a lot of questions, but staff is very responsive to us.

1099
01:40:20,020 --> 01:40:22,400
So it makes for hopefully a more efficient board medium.

1100
01:40:22,700 --> 01:40:24,640
But once again, thank you for what you have done as well.

1101
01:40:25,500 --> 01:40:33,200
Coming then to item 14D, we had some questions to ask, and this is, I'm turning my page then, 14D.

1102
01:40:34,340 --> 01:40:37,760
This is the Fluellen and Moody Feasibility Study.

1103
01:40:39,300 --> 01:40:42,540
There's twice anyone to just give us a brief overview and then we can ask our questions.

1104
01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:48,760
So this is for consideration of an approval of Puellingham Moody who are architects, one

1105
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:54,820
of our architects and also work on measure A projects as well as such as the HVAC and other

1106
01:40:55,820 --> 01:41:01,620
areas to conduct a feasibility study for the purpose of a new location for a transportation

1107
01:41:01,620 --> 01:41:09,000
a racial facility, district warehouse, as well as possibly a maintenance and operations workshop.

1108
01:41:09,440 --> 01:41:15,340
Currently, the district warehouse and the largest district bus bar in which contains 12 buses.

1109
01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:24,440
Plus, our bus operating repair shop, as well as the MNO electrical workshop and

1110
01:41:24,440 --> 01:41:28,320
welding is up for sale through our 7-Eleven properties.

1111
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:35,840
So once those properties are sold, those areas will need to be relocated to another part

1112
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:36,780
of the school district.

1113
01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:45,440
In addition, identified in the Measure A projects for Frontier High School, it approved

1114
01:41:45,440 --> 01:41:51,580
was a lunchroom renovation currently they have just an area where they pick up food, consider

1115
01:41:51,580 --> 01:41:52,260
their lunchroom.

1116
01:41:52,540 --> 01:41:55,920
There is no indoor area designated as a lunchroom to sit.

1117
01:41:55,920 --> 01:42:07,460
A multi-purpose room, new restroom building, the current restroom building does not meet certain codes for ADA access as well as DSA codes, and then an additional lunch shelter for the outside.

1118
01:42:08,140 --> 01:42:22,780
However, they are landlocked, so if we were to identify an area where a maintenance and operations workshop could be located, one of the considerations in the feasibility study would be to also take the workshop areas

1119
01:42:22,780 --> 01:42:45,540
is that are currently located in Frontier High School MNO workshop, and possibly put them and combine them all into one inclusive, which would give us not the building itself, but that corner of land where we could demo the building and actually add to Frontier High School to meet the needs of not only measure A, but also any possible future growth of students at the high school.

1120
01:42:45,540 --> 01:42:54,940
So that is currently, the feasibility study will be less than $5,000, and it's really just that we have two areas currently that the feasibility study will be looking at.

1121
01:42:55,200 --> 01:43:07,660
One is the land behind Rancho Compana, which has a very, very large M&O area to begin with, and would be adding on to that area, and then also the land behind Oxnard High School, 3,400 convolts.

1122
01:43:07,740 --> 01:43:14,820
And those are the two areas that are currently really available for a large enough area that would not only house transportation,

1123
01:43:14,820 --> 01:43:24,640
but also a warehouse delivery area and parking facility for our white fleet, which is currently parked at this bus barn right here.

1124
01:43:25,160 --> 01:43:27,920
I'm sorry, right here. So questions?

1125
01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:34,460
Yes, they already have a large demote area there.

1126
01:43:34,820 --> 01:43:44,200
So it would be to add on to that facility so we would be able to have warehouse availability there as well as an area to park our buses and work on those buses if needed.

1127
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:52,320
Or, again, the feasibility study will also take a look at possibility of placing it behind the Oxnard High School.

1128
01:43:53,540 --> 01:44:02,260
At Frontier High School, if the current M&O workshop facility were to be changed to a multi-purpose room,

1129
01:44:03,340 --> 01:44:08,580
and maybe this is why you're having the feasibility study, maybe you don't know the answer,

1130
01:44:08,580 --> 01:44:13,060
Is the thinking that it would be just demo'd and build something that is field act approved?

1131
01:44:13,440 --> 01:44:17,060
Or could that building be restructured to meet field act requirements?

1132
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:20,860
It would be actually cheaper to demo the building and

1133
01:44:20,860 --> 01:44:25,820
drop a prefab building for a multipurpose type room.

1134
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:28,860
Then it would be to try to convert that older, older building.

1135
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:34,860
We'd have to take it down to almost the studs and that would be just incredibly expensive plus.

1136
01:44:34,860 --> 01:44:41,700
We don't really, you know, know the abatement that might have to go on in that process.

1137
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:43,720
So really that's one of the feasibility.

1138
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:48,840
But the main feasibility study is really to identify areas of the district,

1139
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:55,200
where possibly the warehouse and the bus barn would really make sense to place.

1140
01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:59,040
Not only just for the purpose of just dropping it somewhere,

1141
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:00,020
where it would...

1142
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:29,260
It's feasible to build at a very low cost as well as we're looking at plus routes and distances and things like that. And for less than $5,000, we felt it was to be able to bring that information back to the board so that as we think about how we're moving forward in the future with certain areas of district the board would have a much better sense of what's possible, what's not possible. And with the feasibility study, the costs of those different areas. So what would it cost to do it here? What would it cost to do it there?

1143
01:45:29,260 --> 01:45:30,940
would also be brought forth to the board.

1144
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:33,440
And so that way the board would have a really good idea

1145
01:45:33,440 --> 01:45:34,900
of really what we're dealing with here.

1146
01:45:35,140 --> 01:45:36,680
And remind us what is the general timeline

1147
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:38,540
if the board approves the feasibility study?

1148
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:40,660
They should get it to us within six weeks.

1149
01:45:41,020 --> 01:45:42,260
Oh, that's very good.

1150
01:45:42,700 --> 01:45:43,880
Dr. Aldi, you guys have questions I believe?

1151
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:49,980
So tell me the overview or what's the parameters of this study?

1152
01:45:50,100 --> 01:45:51,580
Because the things you mentioned there,

1153
01:45:51,700 --> 01:45:54,980
I didn't see in the background or the administrative discussion.

1154
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:57,900
So what is the study going to include?

1155
01:45:57,900 --> 01:46:05,960
The study is going to include is there enough area without impeding on other areas of the school to even place something there?

1156
01:46:06,140 --> 01:46:10,920
Secondly, is the foundational at Rancho Compana and Oxford High?

1157
01:46:10,940 --> 01:46:11,100
Yes.

1158
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:11,820
Okay.

1159
01:46:12,020 --> 01:46:25,880
And then also the foundation, what is, they'll do testing of the soil, not in the sense of any type of toxins, but actually for foundations when you're dealing with lifts for buses.

1160
01:46:26,780 --> 01:46:48,540
Obviously, there's some foundation stuff that we'd have to look at, is it compatible to do something like that there, as well as they will do a route study so that if we place the transportation area there, what is the distance for those buses to take on certain routes because it may impact the number of hours that a bus driver is behind the wheel and we wouldn't want that to happen.

1161
01:46:48,540 --> 01:47:11,740
And so all those things are taken in consideration and obviously what would be the cost of utilities and all those type of areas of constructing something at either of those sites and looking also at the restrictions that we might meet in the city of both cities and the environmental restrictions and also what environmental studies would need to be done before we'd even be able to begin.

1162
01:47:11,740 --> 01:47:21,600
Okay, so there's no, we haven't locked in on, we're not, we're not set on doing a bus barn at the Rancho Compala site.

1163
01:47:21,780 --> 01:47:27,560
We're going to, this is going to help us evaluate whether that would be a good site or Oxnard Union or, excuse me, Oxnard High School.

1164
01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:35,260
Yeah, or possibly, I mean, there is a possibility that feasibility study will come back and they'll say, you know, neither site is a good site, you'll have to look for land.

1165
01:47:35,700 --> 01:47:36,920
Okay, thank you.

1166
01:47:37,420 --> 01:47:39,260
Are there any other questions regarding this item?

1167
01:47:39,260 --> 01:47:46,420
I have one. Could you just remind me which schools have bus barns currently because we do have them at schools, right?

1168
01:47:46,660 --> 01:47:47,920
So, Adolfo Camarillo.

1169
01:47:48,180 --> 01:47:49,000
Adolfo Camarillo.

1170
01:47:49,620 --> 01:47:51,220
Real Mesa and the bus barn here.

1171
01:47:51,360 --> 01:48:00,440
So we have capacity for eight buses at each of the schools and we have 23 buses in service and

1172
01:48:00,440 --> 01:48:05,580
where we are now at our repair area and parking lot is we have 12 buses there.

1173
01:48:07,500 --> 01:48:12,700
Trustees then, the staff recommendation is that we approve fluelling and

1174
01:48:12,700 --> 01:48:17,300
Moody Incorporated Agreement for architectural services, for a feasibility study,

1175
01:48:17,860 --> 01:48:22,000
for a transportation facility and district warehouse at Rancho Campana High School.

1176
01:48:22,700 --> 01:48:24,120
Do I have a motion and a second?

1177
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:26,240
Motion for approval?

1178
01:48:26,540 --> 01:48:26,820
A motion?

1179
01:48:27,180 --> 01:48:27,480
Second.

1180
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:28,300
And a second.

1181
01:48:28,620 --> 01:48:29,340
Any further discussion?

1182
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:30,100
Questions?

1183
01:48:30,740 --> 01:48:31,860
Here we know request.

1184
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:32,800
Those in favor say aye.

1185
01:48:33,140 --> 01:48:33,300
Aye.

1186
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:34,180
Any opposed?

1187
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:35,680
The 5-0.

1188
01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:36,460
Thank you very much.

1189
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:50,460
Let's go on to item S, and I believe we have some members of the audience to lead us to that, but first, which staff would like to give us an overview of this.

1190
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:55,280
This is the approval of agreement between the district and Ed Link attendance recovery services.

1191
01:48:55,580 --> 01:48:56,260
Mr. Weinstein?

1192
01:48:56,720 --> 01:48:57,960
Yes, ma'am.

1193
01:48:58,460 --> 01:49:01,740
Board of Trustees, superintendents, members of the audience.

1194
01:49:01,740 --> 01:49:08,240
So, we have a consideration of approval of agreement between Oxford Union High School District and Ed Link attendance recovery service.

1195
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:12,400
There's really three parts to our presentation to the board.

1196
01:49:12,820 --> 01:49:19,100
I'll start off with myself as being the head of the business services when we're talking about ADA recovery and the cost analysis.

1197
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:31,720
I'll then hand it off to my partner, Dr. McCoy who can talk more of the services that Ed Link directly gives and then will also be able to give you feedback from members of the audience.

1198
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:37,880
our staff members who have experienced Saturday school and where they feel the positives and the benefits are.

1199
01:49:38,360 --> 01:49:41,960
So historically our attendance recovery action plan has always included a Saturday school.

1200
01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:51,240
Unfortunately, in recent history, we have been seeing between 15 and 25 students attend those Saturdays.

1201
01:49:51,820 --> 01:49:58,440
Ed Link has provided an attendance recovery program in which Saturday school is marketed paired within Richmond programs,

1202
01:49:58,440 --> 01:50:16,820
as well as the programmatic part which Dr. McCoy will talk about to entice students to attend the school in more of a snowball effect where we are seeing attendance from the first Saturday continually increase to the second and third Saturday just by word of mouth among the students.

1203
01:50:16,820 --> 01:50:26,560
For instance, at Channel Lions High School, which is our Beta Testing High School, we had 126 students for the first Saturday and over 150 students on the second Saturday.

1204
01:50:27,180 --> 01:50:38,520
Also from feedback from the administrative staff, we have found that our staff, our teachers, and particularly, those who are interested in teaching enrichment programs as well as core subjects.

1205
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:48,220
find it that the response from the students actually makes it something that they really want to be at instead of students who seem to be forced there and really don't want to be a part of the program.

1206
01:50:48,780 --> 01:50:56,880
So if we just look at the numbers really quickly, so when we're looking at an average of 180 students attending on a Saturday, that equals 1 ADA.

1207
01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:05,100
So the way we look at an ADA is can we get 180 students to attend a Saturday, which would give me 1 ADA recovery.

1208
01:51:05,100 --> 01:51:17,020
So just looking at those plain numbers, an ADA for us is $10,877 in revenue, approximately $60 per student attending when we're looking at a single ADA.

1209
01:51:17,660 --> 01:51:27,120
So over the two Saturdays, as we're looking here, we recovered close to 2 ADA, 1.5 basically.

1210
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:33,920
So the cost of the recovery program, really on an ongoing basis, is $5,500 a year,

1211
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:38,720
which is training and Dr. McQuayle going to a little bit more about what that training consists of.

1212
01:51:39,180 --> 01:51:44,160
However, the really were charged for the actual program, oversight of the program,

1213
01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:47,100
continual support of the program, $8 per student.

1214
01:51:47,860 --> 01:51:53,020
So when we take a look at that, and it looks like we'll, from C, I,

1215
01:51:53,020 --> 01:51:59,660
We have a gross income of $12,376 for both Saturdays.

1216
01:51:59,820 --> 01:52:08,000
Staff costs average about $2,000 leaving a net revenue of a little over $10,000 recovered in two Saturdays from one site.

1217
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:09,440
And that's just the numbers part.

1218
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:21,440
Obviously, these also go into our state priorities of attendance recovery as well as looking at the academies and

1219
01:52:21,440 --> 01:52:25,800
the CTE programs and the different type of enrichment to get kids more interested in

1220
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:27,360
those in a programmatic way.

1221
01:52:28,060 --> 01:52:33,140
So now I'll turn it over to Dr. McCoy who can talk a little bit more about the services

1222
01:52:33,140 --> 01:52:37,980
that we receive at Edelink and the training that we receive for our start-up fee.

1223
01:52:38,340 --> 01:52:42,460
Our start-up fee is $2,500 and $25,500.

1224
01:52:42,780 --> 01:52:50,360
This is for all of our sites, so broken down, it's less per site, but then there's a continual

1225
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:55,100
Well, after this set up the $5,500 a year for training for the entire district.

1226
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,400
And then $8 per student just to see you get a breakdown of the fees.

1227
01:52:58,640 --> 01:52:58,900
Thank you.

1228
01:52:59,000 --> 01:52:59,440
Can I go ahead?

1229
01:52:59,720 --> 01:53:00,120
Dr. McQuay?

1230
01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:10,700
Sure, the long and short of it for the sites around Saturday school is we've tried to run programs like this ourselves over time.

1231
01:53:11,420 --> 01:53:17,160
We tend to only receive about an on average and we've checked the numbers from the last two years.

1232
01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:24,700
between 15 and 30 students who have attended that we can recover an absence from.

1233
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:32,160
We've seen as Mr. Weinstein was referring to a tremendous increase in attendance with this program.

1234
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:35,020
Typically, Ed Link works with us in three ways.

1235
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:39,460
They'll come into the school, review strategies that are used.

1236
01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:43,820
They work in districts across the state in order to market the program.

1237
01:53:43,820 --> 01:53:56,000
They work with our current communications program parent square to suggest how to invite students via text invite parents via text because we can now text and receive text and return through parent square.

1238
01:53:56,940 --> 01:54:11,180
How to create a marketing plan and how to coordinate staff and each high school has a person on staff who's a coordinator and we have one here tonight from child violence who's going to talk to you a little bit about their experience during the pilot.

1239
01:54:11,180 --> 01:54:41,100
We haven't had the full array of support because what also happens is during the session support is available as staff needs it, but following the sessions, Ed Link is going to be working directly with IT and our attendance supervisor, Sheila Fudge, in which F's department to take the onus of returning the ADA from the attendance operator at the school to more of a direct report, and we're right now if this item is approved, we have to approve a data sharing agreement

1240
01:54:41,100 --> 01:55:07,100
So, they will actually draw potential candidates out of Synergy, provide those lists to the site staff, and then they will actually help us clean the ADA and work with Sheila to return that so that won't be an issue for the attendance operator, which is another in the way we've done it in the past, the attendance operator at each site had to manipulate all the Saturday attendance to create the return program.

1241
01:55:07,100 --> 01:55:13,940
I think one of the benefits of the program, and again, I will tell you that once the program's on its way,

1242
01:55:14,200 --> 01:55:17,120
it's the site staff that really makes it go, so there is that.

1243
01:55:17,780 --> 01:55:25,960
The suggestion was, and CI has implemented this really well, two hours of enrichment and two hours of academic support or tutorial.

1244
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:34,680
And so one of the buy-ins for teaching staff is that they can teach anything that's their passion to the kids for two of the hours,

1245
01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:39,100
or four hours if someone wants to provide four hours of academics the rest of the day.

1246
01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:44,620
So if I'm somebody who likes to cook, but I'm not the culinary teacher,

1247
01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:48,820
I can come in and offer a baking and pastry class for students,

1248
01:55:49,020 --> 01:55:54,180
those students attend two hours of baking and pastry and then go to academic support for two hours.

1249
01:55:54,780 --> 01:56:02,320
And we're also working in this system for students who are owing time for time related to student discipline.

1250
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:08,860
And trying to use it as a place where we re-engage them through both the enrichment program and the academic support.

1251
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,400
So we're not treating students who are there for a disciplinary reason.

1252
01:56:13,060 --> 01:56:16,540
Differently we're trying to get them re-engaged, but we're seeing a lot of kids come voluntarily.

1253
01:56:17,340 --> 01:56:23,700
And so we're really excited about the possibility to expand to the other schools based on the,

1254
01:56:23,700 --> 01:56:28,000
we've only done two Saturdays and we're we up and running district wide.

1255
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:34,960
we would probably be running five Saturdays per semester at each site, so we'd have 30 times

1256
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:41,160
the numbers that we're seeing here today throughout the school year where we'd get there.

1257
01:56:41,280 --> 01:56:48,780
But we did want to pilot this, and then I know that Blanca Mandieto, the assistant principal

1258
01:56:48,780 --> 01:56:56,120
and Amy Grieves, one of our teachers in our featured administrators, Academy had a few comments that

1259
01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:57,420
that they wanted to make on the program.

1260
01:56:57,660 --> 01:56:59,320
So if either of you would like to come to the podium,

1261
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:00,820
please, we'll go out to have you.

1262
01:57:03,970 --> 01:57:04,950
Yes, good evening.

1263
01:57:05,290 --> 01:57:06,190
Good evening to you both.

1264
01:57:06,870 --> 01:57:09,190
Well, first of all, I'd like to say thank you

1265
01:57:09,190 --> 01:57:10,910
for giving Channel Islands the opportunity

1266
01:57:10,910 --> 01:57:12,190
to pilot this program.

1267
01:57:12,570 --> 01:57:17,090
We had a very good experience, both from teachers and students.

1268
01:57:17,710 --> 01:57:21,390
We did, I was able to get a comment from a student

1269
01:57:21,390 --> 01:57:25,190
if I can read it first, and then I'll let Miss Greaves

1270
01:57:25,190 --> 01:57:26,090
get into the details.

1271
01:57:26,090 --> 01:57:30,810
And so, this is one of our students, seniors that attended, her name is Joanna Nofre,

1272
01:57:31,410 --> 01:57:34,850
and she is our captain of the drill team, she wasn't able to make it today, she said,

1273
01:57:35,270 --> 01:57:38,670
and this is a comment, which basically consumes all of my time due to how much I invest

1274
01:57:38,670 --> 01:57:43,150
in the effort to the squad, so she was not able to make it, but this is what she said about

1275
01:57:43,150 --> 01:57:43,510
attending.

1276
01:57:44,050 --> 01:57:46,970
Attending the Saturday Reader Academy was definitely worth it.

1277
01:57:47,350 --> 01:57:52,170
I signed up for AP English Literature and Composition and found it to be very helpful, as

1278
01:57:52,170 --> 01:57:58,050
As the teacher tailored her lesson to the specific needs of each test taker, I was able

1279
01:57:58,050 --> 01:58:04,450
to receive valuable feedback on my AP essays and one and one to one guidance on how to

1280
01:58:04,450 --> 01:58:07,490
improve my writing techniques to ensure a good score for the test.

1281
01:58:07,950 --> 01:58:12,130
Aside from clearing an absence, which is a great perk, I'd recommend any student to take

1282
01:58:12,130 --> 01:58:13,430
advantage of the Raider Academy.

1283
01:58:14,010 --> 01:58:18,730
It was a great opportunity to continue to learn and invest our time into a subject of our

1284
01:58:18,730 --> 01:58:19,250
choice.

1285
01:58:19,250 --> 01:58:24,210
Again, Joe, I know Northwest Senior, and one of the things with speaking extensively

1286
01:58:24,210 --> 01:58:32,430
with Robert Lopez from Ed Link, he proposed the model of teacher choice, again as mentioned,

1287
01:58:32,830 --> 01:58:36,270
where teachers do have the choice of what it is that they want to teach, and then students

1288
01:58:36,270 --> 01:58:38,790
have that option to choose what they want.

1289
01:58:39,190 --> 01:58:46,030
So giving students that option, I think, has increased the numbers as students know that they're

1290
01:58:46,030 --> 01:58:47,770
going to come to what they want to learn.

1291
01:58:47,770 --> 01:58:52,630
So I'll turn it over to Ms. Greaves who's done an amazing job at coordinating our onsite.

1292
01:58:52,930 --> 01:58:53,650
Thank you for that.

1293
01:58:53,650 --> 01:58:55,110
Can I add a comment to that real quick?

1294
01:58:55,930 --> 01:58:58,950
Just like we were talking about earlier when you said how Rencho does QR codes.

1295
01:58:59,190 --> 01:59:03,270
We also do that throughout the school, so I thought throughout the school that we have papers with QR codes.

1296
01:59:03,370 --> 01:59:06,910
And then you just scan in with your phone camera and then it just comes up and then you just pick whatever you want.

1297
01:59:07,090 --> 01:59:11,770
Which I think is also really helpful because you don't have to go through this long process of like signing something to like sign up for it.

1298
01:59:11,970 --> 01:59:16,110
It's really simple and it's really easy to sign up for it, so I just wanted to put that out there.

1299
01:59:16,110 --> 01:59:17,170
Thanks for sharing that.

1300
01:59:18,270 --> 01:59:18,930
Thank you.

1301
01:59:19,330 --> 01:59:25,790
I am the coordinator of the Rader Academy and behind me is Heather Maloy, one of our

1302
01:59:25,790 --> 01:59:29,430
teachers who participated in the Academy and she'll speak briefly about her experience

1303
01:59:29,430 --> 01:59:29,950
as a teacher.

1304
01:59:31,010 --> 01:59:36,890
Just to clarify a few numbers, our first Saturday in January is actually 111 students who attended.

1305
01:59:37,590 --> 01:59:44,630
Our second February date was 120 and our last one was 180 in March.

1306
01:59:44,630 --> 01:59:56,850
So, I put together a huge power point in the growth and far graphs and all kinds of interesting data but what she said about the QR code has been really interesting.

1307
01:59:56,850 --> 01:59:59,890
The link has been sent to student

1308
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:28,720
Email via parent square. We flew that various evenings before the actual date, before I closed the option to sign up. The QR codes have been working. We've been posting them. Those also go on parent square. So the use of technology has been amazing. However, in the PowerPoint that I put together, you would see that the interesting part is students are signing up. However, we had just as many walk-ins, if not more.

1309
02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:34,200
So, students are hearing about it from each other, they're excited, I got questions that

1310
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:37,180
very same last Saturday, when are we doing this again?

1311
02:00:37,800 --> 02:00:39,960
Teachers are coming in ecstatic, I'll let her talk about that.

1312
02:00:40,820 --> 02:00:46,780
A few more numbers, teachers are also very interested in the program, our first date, we had nine,

1313
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:50,360
and our last two, we had 13 sign up, so that is also growing.

1314
02:00:52,180 --> 02:00:57,220
As far as, Ms. Greaves, I have your PowerPoint on here, do you want me to put it on the

1315
02:00:58,760 --> 02:01:03,120
I don't want to take up too much time, but all the graphs are up there in the

1316
02:01:03,120 --> 02:01:08,360
comparatives and you can share it with the board later if you'd like. A few more

1317
02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:14,020
things. Dr. Nguerra, he talked about equity and a lot of our students cannot

1318
02:01:14,020 --> 02:01:18,060
make it to tutoring after school or before school for various reasons and we

1319
02:01:18,060 --> 02:01:25,180
know that that is our population. So not only does the Saturday school provide

1320
02:01:25,180 --> 02:01:41,460
It's one of me for students and teachers and choice, which we know works through science, but it also provides equity, gives them a chance to come in for that four hours with that half an hour break where they eat and work on whatever they need to work on.

1321
02:01:42,060 --> 02:01:51,980
I have students who are going into AEST, which is a program that Clara Galvez and I put together years ago, which was very similar to this, just on a smaller scale.

1322
02:01:52,940 --> 02:01:58,500
But these students are able to go into the library and get tutoring in math or any other subject.

1323
02:01:58,860 --> 02:02:03,600
Some of our other classes that you'll see on the PowerPoint are chemistry tutoring.

1324
02:02:04,140 --> 02:02:06,520
We do have AP preparation.

1325
02:02:06,900 --> 02:02:09,580
We had three two classes last time.

1326
02:02:10,840 --> 02:02:18,240
We have the fun ones, culinary or Roma therapy for your health meditation, which was a big one the last time.

1327
02:02:20,700 --> 02:02:29,880
Oh, writing, self-defense, and they are trained, so anyways, students had a huge menu.

1328
02:02:31,800 --> 02:02:37,800
With that said, the numbers that we got back from our attendance lady was we had 320 of

1329
02:02:37,800 --> 02:02:41,540
the 400 total that were eligible for ADA recovery.

1330
02:02:43,360 --> 02:02:47,900
My math, I checked with Ms. Fudge over here at the district office.

1331
02:02:48,100 --> 02:02:56,040
I'm not sure exactly if 60.9 is what we get back, $60.90, could anybody confirm that?

1332
02:02:56,460 --> 02:02:57,140
A little over $60.

1333
02:02:57,520 --> 02:02:58,760
Okay, a little over $60.

1334
02:02:59,220 --> 02:03:06,900
So around $19,000 is what we brought in with those numbers for ADA, give or take, approximately.

1335
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:13,240
With that said, Dr. Dalyone, you mentioned connecting kids to their passion.

1336
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:20,060
And I think this gives students the opportunity to not only experience the academics in the

1337
02:03:20,060 --> 02:03:24,640
program, but also to experience classes and maybe electives that they wouldn't normally

1338
02:03:24,640 --> 02:03:31,560
have a chance to be exposed to due to schedules or reading classes that they have to take, that

1339
02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:32,940
take up that elective option.

1340
02:03:35,620 --> 02:03:41,500
So, I believe that this also provides a great opportunity for human capacity building in our district

1341
02:03:41,500 --> 02:03:50,840
and allowing our teachers to explore that enthusiasm and giving them that autonomy to go with it.

1342
02:03:53,080 --> 02:03:58,500
So, with that said, I'd like to pass this off to Heather, who's going to share our teacher experience.

1343
02:03:58,920 --> 02:03:59,620
Thank you very much for that.

1344
02:03:59,620 --> 02:04:02,060
Hello Board, thank you for having me speak.

1345
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:07,600
I've taught four different classes on two of the three occasions.

1346
02:04:08,260 --> 02:04:15,580
They were SAT prep, wild and wacky weather, so earth science, or meteorology, and then

1347
02:04:15,580 --> 02:04:17,780
I taught two aroma therapy classes.

1348
02:04:18,780 --> 02:04:27,040
And I felt a little strange about bringing the aroma therapy in, but I started the discussion

1349
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:38,920
with why I got into it and how to do with anxiety and how having to be able to kind of calm down, slow down, and reflect inward.

1350
02:04:40,180 --> 02:04:46,580
And when I was sharing my story with the students, I could tell that they really were able to connect to that.

1351
02:04:47,160 --> 02:04:54,060
So much so that when we came to the break, one of the girls came up to me and said thank you so much for talking about the anxiety.

1352
02:04:54,060 --> 02:04:57,880
I have a really bad anxiety, and I do roam a therapy on a regular basis.

1353
02:04:58,480 --> 02:04:59,520
Thank you for having this course.

1354
02:05:00,180 --> 02:05:01,400
What are you going to do next month?

1355
02:05:04,440 --> 02:05:10,720
And it's honestly very exciting to see how involved and engaged they are.

1356
02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:16,300
It is truly amazing, even with the SAT prep, they were there because they wanted to be.

1357
02:05:16,720 --> 02:05:21,760
And they took full advantage of their own free will on a Saturday morning to be there with me.

1358
02:05:21,760 --> 02:05:23,000
And it was amazing.

1359
02:05:24,600 --> 02:05:26,720
I look forward to it on a regular basis.

1360
02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:31,540
I hope that we can make this something that is offered to all of our students.

1361
02:05:32,260 --> 02:05:39,620
Because it really is about providing them other opportunities, about giving them a chance

1362
02:05:39,620 --> 02:05:44,660
to explore their passions, about having teacher connections in a smaller setting,

1363
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:50,380
and learning to trust people, and exploring a connection.

1364
02:05:50,900 --> 02:05:58,460
So, I beg of you to make this happen because we have seen some really positive, wonderful

1365
02:05:58,460 --> 02:06:03,480
things just in the small, short time that we've done it.

1366
02:06:03,980 --> 02:06:09,800
And I should just also add that I'm a special educator, so I see special education students

1367
02:06:09,800 --> 02:06:10,620
on a regular basis.

1368
02:06:11,180 --> 02:06:15,860
This gives me an opportunity to deal with all students, whether they're AP students or

1369
02:06:15,860 --> 02:06:20,720
or special education students, or students with 504s, or ELS.

1370
02:06:20,880 --> 02:06:23,740
It gives me an opportunity to get a different perspective.

1371
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:28,340
That way when I'm teaching in my regular classes,

1372
02:06:28,880 --> 02:06:33,780
my mind is broadened and my mind is opened to how my students are going to receive certain information.

1373
02:06:34,300 --> 02:06:35,160
So I thank you for that.

1374
02:06:35,520 --> 02:06:35,760
Thank you.

1375
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:37,620
Ladies, stay at the podium if you will.

1376
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:40,680
I just want to explain to my colleagues, you might wonder why was this pulled?

1377
02:06:41,100 --> 02:06:43,760
Because sometimes we have a concern about a program.

1378
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:48,540
It wasn't a concern, I just want to say this honestly, I asked I have this pull from the agenda.

1379
02:06:49,040 --> 02:06:54,860
This is too big of a program to be lost in a consent item and a quick motion and a second and a pass.

1380
02:06:55,200 --> 02:07:04,800
This is a remarkable program in the making and I wanted to throw the spotlight on all the good work that you're doing and really commend you for what you've done to bring this along.

1381
02:07:04,940 --> 02:07:07,080
So there was no concern on my part.

1382
02:07:07,240 --> 02:07:12,360
I did have a question though, and maybe you can't answer this or you don't wish to, but there's no time to be humble.

1383
02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:20,480
I wanted to ask, how much of the success of what you shared with us is due to the Ed Link firm?

1384
02:07:21,140 --> 02:07:25,220
And they're going to be paid a significant amount of money and the enthusiasm and

1385
02:07:25,220 --> 02:07:29,460
the passion and commitment that you bring to the program on those particular Saturdays.

1386
02:07:30,060 --> 02:07:31,460
Can you share any thoughts?

1387
02:07:32,020 --> 02:07:35,840
In other words, let me just be frank, does this district need Ed Link?

1388
02:07:36,500 --> 02:07:40,040
Or could we replicate the program school wide, district wide?

1389
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:42,980
What would you say?

1390
02:07:43,780 --> 02:07:44,680
I'm going to put it this way.

1391
02:07:45,380 --> 02:07:49,060
That some school sites might need the structure and the support.

1392
02:07:52,540 --> 02:07:58,240
However, I believe that we as a district and our teachers in our district and our school sites

1393
02:07:58,240 --> 02:08:08,760
with the correct procedures and the steps that we went through could do this on their own.

1394
02:08:10,820 --> 02:08:26,400
And I understand that the company might be needed at other sites to encourage and to support other sites because they might not have the experience that we've had with these types of programs in the past, but I believe in our teachers.

1395
02:08:27,260 --> 02:08:32,540
I would like to also turn this over to our administrator so she can give her her opinion on it.

1396
02:08:33,260 --> 02:08:37,200
And before we were done, Marita, did you attend the Academy program?

1397
02:08:37,860 --> 02:08:40,200
I personally did not attend because I worked Saturday mornings,

1398
02:08:40,860 --> 02:08:44,260
but I did hear from my friends and I saw it on Snapchat and I got really, really jealous,

1399
02:08:44,460 --> 02:08:47,680
because my friends got to make a pizza without me.

1400
02:08:48,940 --> 02:08:52,400
And I'm sure they attended a chemistry class or a EST library, too.

1401
02:08:52,420 --> 02:08:55,760
And also Johanna is one of my friends and she did attend the AP tutoring.

1402
02:08:56,040 --> 02:08:58,300
And I really wish I could, but I really couldn't because I worked in the mornings.

1403
02:08:58,300 --> 02:09:03,160
but you know what? I'm probably the last one my Saturday out for the next one

1404
02:09:03,160 --> 02:09:05,560
and go to the next one because if really just talking about it here and here

1405
02:09:05,560 --> 02:09:10,260
from like other people's experiences it does it really does look like an awesome

1406
02:09:10,260 --> 02:09:14,740
experience and I want to make it pizza okay thank you for sharing that very good as

1407
02:09:14,740 --> 02:09:18,480
long as kids don't start missing so they could be eligible for Saturday school.

1408
02:09:19,200 --> 02:09:23,380
Eddie, is there anything else you'd like to share with us? I think I have no

1409
02:09:23,380 --> 02:09:30,720
who is involved, but I just want to say that I think every site needs an Amy Grieves, that's all.

1410
02:09:31,140 --> 02:09:32,920
Thank you for your nice meeting to share that.

1411
02:09:33,840 --> 02:09:42,600
Yes, I do want to agree that Miss Amy has done a fantastic job in working with the teachers and

1412
02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:50,140
organizing the day-to-day, especially on Saturday, and I know she does a lot of background work before that day comes.

1413
02:09:50,500 --> 02:09:51,860
So I do want to say thank you, Amy.

1414
02:09:51,860 --> 02:10:01,740
But again, from what my experience has been with Ed Link is the plan and the model that I spoke with them of the teacher choice.

1415
02:10:03,340 --> 02:10:11,940
And that is what we had talked about so that when our pilot day came, that is what we were able to provide.

1416
02:10:12,080 --> 02:10:20,900
And I think that that really is what contributed to a lot of teachers wanting to participate because they had that choice and students wanting to come because they had the options.

1417
02:10:21,560 --> 02:10:25,080
Very good. Thank you for sharing that. Dr. Hall, you had a question and then Trustee Rare.

1418
02:10:25,660 --> 02:10:27,280
Yes, Trustee Rare.

1419
02:10:27,540 --> 02:10:33,880
Okay, well thank you. It's more exciting as we hear from you than just from the documents, but I have a couple of questions.

1420
02:10:35,560 --> 02:10:42,160
It's just two hours like an open activity that the faculty will teach than two hours of academic support.

1421
02:10:43,640 --> 02:10:48,180
The academic support is all computerized, correct? No?

1422
02:10:48,180 --> 02:11:06,400
No, no, for the example in the student that I had mentioned there was a teacher wanting to do the AP composition and there was a teacher there that adjusted the curriculum to what the students needed because she was able to get that small group of students and able to help them with their particular needs.

1423
02:11:06,400 --> 02:11:15,220
Okay, so there was explained by Dr. McQuay, four hours of academic was one format that could follow or two and two hours.

1424
02:11:15,500 --> 02:11:24,360
Yes, so in the example you just gave with the student, what do they do for their open activity and what do they do for their academic support?

1425
02:11:24,660 --> 02:11:31,100
In this particular case, which I think is, I'm going to say maybe rare, she chose the same thing.

1426
02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:33,540
She wanted the four hours of academic support.

1427
02:11:34,560 --> 02:11:38,420
So, is there an example you could give me, maybe, miscrease about what is the two hours

1428
02:11:38,420 --> 02:11:41,220
of open activity and the two hours of academic support?

1429
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:44,160
Okay, this is where I wish the PowerPoint was here.

1430
02:11:44,680 --> 02:11:47,780
On that, by the way, it's going to be a very good tool for other school sites.

1431
02:11:48,580 --> 02:11:55,620
There's a link on that to basically the sign-up sheet through the QR code or their email

1432
02:11:56,140 --> 02:11:59,180
and using Google Forms, you can put it into an Excel sheet.

1433
02:11:59,180 --> 02:12:03,800
So, the students have a choice of four classes that they can take.

1434
02:12:04,560 --> 02:12:07,180
So, what typically happens is, of course, they want to make pizza.

1435
02:12:07,940 --> 02:12:13,580
So, they're going to sign up for pizza pizza, but then they pick two other classes or three other classes.

1436
02:12:14,180 --> 02:12:20,980
I then go in there and Miss Mendelita also joins me the day or two before and we set their schedule.

1437
02:12:21,740 --> 02:12:26,580
So, we pick an academic class for them and we give them that elective that day chose.

1438
02:12:27,060 --> 02:12:33,720
So, and in the case that they say pizza, pizza, pizza, they go into tutoring for that second hour.

1439
02:12:34,320 --> 02:12:36,640
So, we've actually manipulated their schedules.

1440
02:12:36,900 --> 02:12:44,420
The first round, we only gave them two choices and we kind of learned that we need to open it up a little bit more to other choices,

1441
02:12:44,580 --> 02:12:46,560
because certain classes filled it very quickly.

1442
02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:53,000
For instance, our math tutoring class, last Saturday, not last Saturday, but the last session that we had,

1443
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:58,720
But that, I believe, exceeded the numbers of any of the electives, which was surprising

1444
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:02,960
to me, and it made me very happy to see when I walked into that packed classroom.

1445
02:13:03,840 --> 02:13:08,240
And she did it twice with a second class outside with Mecha, also.

1446
02:13:09,920 --> 02:13:11,920
So that was really nice to see.

1447
02:13:12,040 --> 02:13:15,180
And the cooking numbers were actually down this time, and I think that might have been because

1448
02:13:15,180 --> 02:13:17,540
we had so many different options going on.

1449
02:13:17,540 --> 02:13:19,500
So, Ms. Grief's just to follow up.

1450
02:13:19,620 --> 02:13:28,040
So, none of the teaching that goes on whether it's the academic or the open activity are online.

1451
02:13:28,800 --> 02:13:31,780
It's a face-to-face instruction that's going on in the classroom.

1452
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:37,340
Okay, so computers are available to students in the library for tutoring if they so choose.

1453
02:13:37,560 --> 02:13:41,700
And that's more of an autonomous kind of setting where the students know that they need to work on

1454
02:13:41,700 --> 02:13:43,660
and they just kind of go about their business.

1455
02:13:44,520 --> 02:13:52,380
The AP teacher that you are referring to, he used computers in the classroom and he

1456
02:13:52,380 --> 02:13:58,720
might have been using AP prep online or possibly Khan Academy or one of the other ones

1457
02:13:58,720 --> 02:13:59,620
with the computers.

1458
02:14:00,260 --> 02:14:04,440
I can't say for sure that he used the computers for both sessions, I would have to ask him.

1459
02:14:06,820 --> 02:14:10,040
But not all teachers are using computers.

1460
02:14:10,040 --> 02:14:18,500
Let's see, the creative writing teacher, she uses them so that students can do the creative writing online and then the poetry classes, her second one that she likes to do.

1461
02:14:19,620 --> 02:14:22,780
I can't remember who the last cow went to, the computers on wheels.

1462
02:14:25,150 --> 02:14:40,730
So no, they're not canned classes, their classes that teachers actually come up with the curriculum, and that's part of the beauty of the program is that I can sit on a Friday night on my couch with my dogs and think, okay, now I'm gonna do a PowerPoint presentation on a Roman therapy and it's benefits.

1463
02:14:40,730 --> 02:14:50,270
I have used with the SAT prep, I have used computers but the presentation was mine and the students

1464
02:14:50,270 --> 02:14:56,470
used computers to do just any available SAT preparation for approximately 45 minutes.

1465
02:14:57,890 --> 02:15:00,030
We've filled out the other time with...

1466
02:15:02,260 --> 02:15:10,060
We've talked about upcoming SAT opportunities at that point in time, so there were other discussions

1467
02:15:10,060 --> 02:15:16,520
that were going on. In addition to that one, the weather, we only used computers to collaborate.

1468
02:15:17,300 --> 02:15:24,120
So the students in the class collaborated with one another via Google and posed some questions,

1469
02:15:24,120 --> 02:15:28,800
some inquiry-based questions that we could potentially talk to in those two hours.

1470
02:15:29,880 --> 02:15:33,120
So it was really just, what do you want to learn from this?

1471
02:15:33,580 --> 02:15:34,140
Okay, let's go.

1472
02:15:34,760 --> 02:15:38,340
And is there a class size limit to each of your classes?

1473
02:15:40,300 --> 02:15:42,600
So each teacher sets their own class size limit.

1474
02:15:43,120 --> 02:15:46,360
And the reason for that is depending upon what they're teaching, they might need a little

1475
02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:48,280
bit more one-on-one time with that student.

1476
02:15:48,700 --> 02:15:51,300
For instance, the self-defense class, we taught that at 15.

1477
02:15:51,300 --> 02:15:55,620
And in that class, we have two of our on-campus teachers who are trained.

1478
02:15:56,200 --> 02:16:01,480
In addition, one of our trained teachers, he has a guest come in who's also trained

1479
02:16:02,080 --> 02:16:04,360
in what they need to be trained with.

1480
02:16:04,460 --> 02:16:05,500
We got it approved.

1481
02:16:08,950 --> 02:16:14,710
The cooking class, she can only take 35 because of the number of kitchens that she has.

1482
02:16:14,950 --> 02:16:16,590
So we set that at 35.

1483
02:16:17,290 --> 02:16:22,070
Usually I close the classes a little bit before those numbers because the walk-ins have been so tremendous.

1484
02:16:24,030 --> 02:16:29,790
So, to ultimately answer your question, the teacher can set their own population.

1485
02:16:30,430 --> 02:16:31,450
It's exciting, thank you.

1486
02:16:31,710 --> 02:16:50,890
And in the case that a teacher does not have student show up, we can give them the option of going home, or they can go into the library and assist with that tutoring because in there we only have one teacher and one added math tutor right now, and the need for more personnel in there on these given days is needed.

1487
02:16:51,710 --> 02:16:58,030
Yeah, what the use of technology when the students sign up, it's really easy to make the changes

1488
02:16:58,030 --> 02:16:58,610
right away.

1489
02:16:58,930 --> 02:17:03,630
So if 180 students have signed up within two days, Ms. Griez and I are able to adjust

1490
02:17:03,630 --> 02:17:04,350
those schedules.

1491
02:17:04,830 --> 02:17:07,850
And we leave some room for the walkins that come in.

1492
02:17:08,170 --> 02:17:14,350
But teachers are very open and sometimes if they see that there are students are wanting

1493
02:17:14,350 --> 02:17:17,910
to go to the class, they might take that extra one or two students that are wanting to walk

1494
02:17:17,910 --> 02:17:18,110
in.

1495
02:17:18,110 --> 02:17:20,450
Thank you so much.

1496
02:17:20,550 --> 02:17:22,170
But you sure, do you have a question or a comment?

1497
02:17:22,390 --> 02:17:24,710
My question was about class size, so thank you for asking back.

1498
02:17:25,090 --> 02:17:25,110
Thank you.

1499
02:17:25,310 --> 02:17:27,370
Ladies, you brought something very important to our district.

1500
02:17:27,750 --> 02:17:32,170
And once again, we wanted to show the shine the light on what you've done for us.

1501
02:17:32,310 --> 02:17:32,730
And thank you.

1502
02:17:32,790 --> 02:17:37,690
If you didn't bring it to us, thank you for all the work that you've done to help bring it along to what it is.

1503
02:17:37,850 --> 02:17:38,750
Certainly a model program.

1504
02:17:39,190 --> 02:17:43,010
And we would just ask that you'll be, make yourself available to your other sister schools

1505
02:17:43,010 --> 02:17:46,850
who will be in that same situation perhaps in the year to come.

1506
02:17:46,850 --> 02:18:06,190
Absolutely. One last thing I'd like to thank all of our teachers, our administrator, our campus supervisor who comes in every Saturday, our grounds, facilities, maintenance, cafeteria for sure because she's getting these numbers at the last minute and putting things together for us and also our students for attending.

1507
02:18:06,650 --> 02:18:06,990
Thank you.

1508
02:18:06,990 --> 02:18:07,830
I'm not saying that, very good.

1509
02:18:08,710 --> 02:18:13,770
So, Trustee Zee, the staff has recommended that we approve, let me see it here.

1510
02:18:14,890 --> 02:18:17,910
Approved the agreement between the Oxnard Union High School District and

1511
02:18:17,910 --> 02:18:20,750
Ed Link Attendance Recovery Services as presented.

1512
02:18:21,250 --> 02:18:21,770
Moved to approve.

1513
02:18:22,550 --> 02:18:25,250
We have a motion and a second, any further discussion?

1514
02:18:26,590 --> 02:18:27,470
Those in favor say aye.

1515
02:18:27,730 --> 02:18:27,870
Aye.

1516
02:18:28,230 --> 02:18:28,350
Aye.

1517
02:18:28,450 --> 02:18:28,790
Any opposed?

1518
02:18:29,610 --> 02:18:30,170
Five zero.

1519
02:18:30,470 --> 02:18:32,310
Thank you once again for your presentation.

1520
02:18:37,500 --> 02:18:40,040
We're going to go on to the next consent calendar.

1521
02:18:40,260 --> 02:18:43,880
Item is item M, M.

1522
02:18:45,000 --> 02:18:46,240
Let me turn to that.

1523
02:18:51,680 --> 02:18:56,880
I only, and certainly my colleagues may have other questions, without spending

1524
02:18:57,440 --> 02:19:02,560
too much time because I just asked that we have a chance on item M,

1525
02:19:02,840 --> 02:19:05,620
M is the adoption, consideration of adoption of policy.

1526
02:19:05,620 --> 02:19:10,080
This is for first reading, for 6144 controversial issues.

1527
02:19:11,440 --> 02:19:13,800
Dr. McCoy, I think you're going to be the specialist on this.

1528
02:19:14,140 --> 02:19:15,640
You've brought this to our attention once before.

1529
02:19:16,100 --> 02:19:24,700
I for one, thank you for the work that has been done on this, that I know you've had a lot of collaboration and so it's really kind of a second reading distant, but thank you for that.

1530
02:19:25,220 --> 02:19:30,380
In the middle of the first page of the policy, if I can just go to that without taking a new time.

1531
02:19:31,300 --> 02:19:33,560
I just thought since you're going to bring this back for a second reading,

1532
02:19:34,280 --> 02:19:38,740
The paragraph that says the ward expects administrators and teachers to exercise professional judgment.

1533
02:19:39,200 --> 02:19:41,080
Thank you for that, teachers.

1534
02:19:41,380 --> 02:19:44,420
They shall consult with a superintendent or a designee as necessary.

1535
02:19:44,840 --> 02:19:48,280
I thought maybe you could tighten that up for a second reading, who might that be?

1536
02:19:48,820 --> 02:19:52,080
And I'm thinking, I'm a teacher at ex-school in room 14.

1537
02:19:52,600 --> 02:19:55,880
I don't know, Dr. De Leon, and I wouldn't be comfortable.

1538
02:19:56,620 --> 02:19:59,800
Well, maybe they do, but maybe I wouldn't, okay?

1539
02:19:59,800 --> 02:20:04,660
I just wondered, who's the designee that might be the first person to approach?

1540
02:20:05,140 --> 02:20:06,200
Yes, I would think so.

1541
02:20:06,960 --> 02:20:13,900
The principal would probably be, or maybe it's a superintendent, or principal, or the principal's designee, or something like that.

1542
02:20:14,260 --> 02:20:20,660
But just let's make this user friendly for the people who might be involved in that, just excuse me, one observation.

1543
02:20:20,660 --> 02:20:47,200
And then I thought on page 3 of 4, about the third paragraph down, students shall be informed of conduct expected during such instruction, norms for discussion, and the importance of listening as well as considering the opinion of others, I thought which is excellent language, thank you for inserting that, and also at the bottom of that page, number 10, that this information will be shared with guest speakers.

1544
02:20:47,200 --> 02:20:48,920
I thought it was excellent as well.

1545
02:20:49,400 --> 02:20:50,620
We had some discussion of that.

1546
02:20:51,220 --> 02:20:53,100
If you go with me to number 11,

1547
02:20:53,360 --> 02:20:55,520
and then I'll finish my conduct comments,

1548
02:20:57,760 --> 02:20:59,600
you have the parents guardians.

1549
02:20:59,740 --> 02:21:01,340
We have some discussion about this when you first

1550
02:21:01,340 --> 02:21:02,280
brought this to our attention.

1551
02:21:02,780 --> 02:21:05,000
Number 11, page four, four at the top.

1552
02:21:05,580 --> 02:21:08,100
Parents and guardians shall be notified prior to instruction.

1553
02:21:08,600 --> 02:21:08,780
Good.

1554
02:21:10,020 --> 02:21:11,300
How and by whom?

1555
02:21:12,820 --> 02:21:14,340
Typically, what we're asking

1556
02:21:14,340 --> 02:21:37,140
Having the site administration to work with the teachers, if there are concerns from a particular community or if typically the subject is divisive, then we would send an affirmation letter home like we do with sexual health that says this, this material will be covered in the next several series of lessons and weeks.

1557
02:21:37,140 --> 02:21:47,760
And if you want to opt out, then there would be a way to contact the school administrator to say I would like my child to have an alternative assignment.

1558
02:21:48,080 --> 02:21:49,200
So it's not a permission in.

1559
02:21:49,860 --> 02:21:56,560
It's where we would inform the parents of the topic, the different perspectives, probably in a letter home.

1560
02:21:56,560 --> 02:22:02,200
We could also create an email in Parent Square and send a copy home via text message and a link.

1561
02:22:02,200 --> 02:22:06,880
And it's similar again to what we would do every year with the sexual health.

1562
02:22:07,600 --> 02:22:12,320
Okay, do you foresee that this at least condensation of this policy and

1563
02:22:12,320 --> 02:22:15,480
its procedures would be unlike the parent handbook at the beginning of the year?

1564
02:22:16,040 --> 02:22:25,440
Yeah, we would add it to the parent handbook and I want to tell you that we have very few items like this.

1565
02:22:25,480 --> 02:22:30,000
We had one major concern that was brought to our attention and

1566
02:22:30,000 --> 02:22:31,620
the board's attention that we dealt with in the fall.

1567
02:22:32,240 --> 02:22:37,000
And we realize that we didn't have a starting place for discussion of what to do when that happens.

1568
02:22:37,240 --> 02:22:40,700
So we did handle it eventually in the way that this policy outlines.

1569
02:22:41,360 --> 02:22:45,040
We believe that the policy, and it's been as I was staying in the cover,

1570
02:22:45,680 --> 02:22:50,100
seen by district department chairs twice and the district curriculum committee twice with approvals.

1571
02:22:50,600 --> 02:22:55,820
We believe this provides a place for parents, students and staff to start with a discussion.

1572
02:22:55,820 --> 02:23:02,040
So we won't have people really honing in on a particular piece of curriculum for particular reason.

1573
02:23:02,340 --> 02:23:08,240
But they will have a starting place where we will be able to discuss concerns, talk about opt-out availability.

1574
02:23:09,060 --> 02:23:18,380
And really, in the great discussion with teachers was we want to ensure that we're not advocating, but

1575
02:23:18,380 --> 02:23:22,220
that we're providing inquiry-based instruction on these topics.

1576
02:23:22,220 --> 02:23:25,380
And I think everybody around the table, the teachers in particular,

1577
02:23:25,760 --> 02:23:27,440
we're very happy with that type of language.

1578
02:23:27,900 --> 02:23:31,760
I'm very appreciative of the collaboration that you caused, and

1579
02:23:31,760 --> 02:23:34,120
the input this reads very well, and I'm comfortable with it.

1580
02:23:35,220 --> 02:23:35,740
Trustee Herrera.

1581
02:23:36,600 --> 02:23:37,920
Yes, Dr. McCoy.

1582
02:23:38,500 --> 02:23:43,220
My only two questions or comments are both is item 11,

1583
02:23:43,560 --> 02:23:46,680
where at the last sentence, students whose parents, guardians,

1584
02:23:46,860 --> 02:23:51,960
the clients such instruction may be offered an alternative activity of similar educational

1585
02:23:51,960 --> 02:23:57,320
value, who will be making that determination of that alternate activity? Will it be the

1586
02:23:57,320 --> 02:23:58,960
faculty that's teaching the class?

1587
02:23:59,380 --> 02:23:59,540
Yes.

1588
02:23:59,860 --> 02:24:08,600
Okay. And then in 12, how come we end that paragraph or sentence with and or use of district

1589
02:24:08,600 --> 02:24:15,180
complaint procedures? If they have a concern, they should raise it, right? But if it hasn't

1590
02:24:15,180 --> 02:24:22,240
in resolve, then you should be able to have access to a complaint process.

1591
02:24:23,120 --> 02:24:27,400
I just feel like this goes directly, I have a concern, and now it's a complaint.

1592
02:24:28,080 --> 02:24:34,180
And I think faculty and staff need to have a due process in that if a student or

1593
02:24:34,180 --> 02:24:41,360
parent has a concern which I totally respect that process itself, it needs to be separate

1594
02:24:41,360 --> 02:24:48,400
from going directly to a complaint, because there has to be some type of due process for the person teaching.

1595
02:24:48,660 --> 02:24:54,540
The intent of the language is that if we're not able to resolve informally by meeting with the parent,

1596
02:24:54,640 --> 02:25:00,740
the teacher, and the designate the site, that the due process then is in the district's,

1597
02:25:00,740 --> 02:25:07,600
you know, from complaint procedures, but we can clarify that we're always trying for an informal resolution.

1598
02:25:07,600 --> 02:25:17,220
But within our other policies under Williams and under the state and federal law we have to provide notice of the complaint procedures.

1599
02:25:17,560 --> 02:25:23,740
So we're always going to be striving to finish and get to a resolution before we implement this.

1600
02:25:24,040 --> 02:25:34,360
I can try and work the language a little bit so it's more clear that the informal resolution process, if someone is not satisfied, they can use the formal resolution process.

1601
02:25:34,360 --> 02:25:35,080
That would be excellent.

1602
02:25:35,320 --> 02:25:35,840
That would be number two.

1603
02:25:36,080 --> 02:25:36,440
Thank you.

1604
02:25:36,760 --> 02:25:36,840
All right.

1605
02:25:37,520 --> 02:25:43,980
So, Dr. McCoy, could you and staff and all that you solicited input kind of take those ideas and bring this back for second reading?

1606
02:25:44,400 --> 02:25:44,520
Yes.

1607
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:45,220
Okay.

1608
02:25:45,820 --> 02:25:46,600
Any other questions?

1609
02:25:46,860 --> 02:25:47,240
Trustee Ed?

1610
02:25:47,320 --> 02:25:47,460
Yes.

1611
02:25:48,300 --> 02:25:49,880
You want to vote on this?

1612
02:25:50,020 --> 02:25:50,280
Okay.

1613
02:25:50,560 --> 02:25:51,500
Yes, and it will come to your next.

1614
02:25:51,900 --> 02:25:52,180
Okay.

1615
02:25:52,360 --> 02:26:03,020
So, Trustee is the issue before us then is that we have been asked to approve the adoption of Board Policy 6144 controversial issues first reading as presented.

1616
02:26:04,040 --> 02:26:04,660
motion, please?

1617
02:26:05,360 --> 02:26:07,840
With those recommendations, I would vote to approve.

1618
02:26:08,360 --> 02:26:08,500
Okay.

1619
02:26:09,180 --> 02:26:09,840
Second, please.

1620
02:26:10,720 --> 02:26:11,920
We have a motion and a second.

1621
02:26:12,260 --> 02:26:12,880
Any further input?

1622
02:26:13,960 --> 02:26:14,280
Here he none.

1623
02:26:14,800 --> 02:26:15,740
Those in favor say aye.

1624
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:16,500
Aye, aye.

1625
02:26:16,940 --> 02:26:17,260
Any opposed?

1626
02:26:18,120 --> 02:26:19,260
Five, zero, thank you very much.

1627
02:26:19,840 --> 02:26:20,480
Trustee Edmunds.

1628
02:26:20,820 --> 02:26:23,160
Yes, I have a procedural question.

1629
02:26:23,160 --> 02:26:25,060
I know that when items appear annually,

1630
02:26:25,480 --> 02:26:27,200
over and over again, a lot of times they're put

1631
02:26:27,200 --> 02:26:32,200
on the consent calendar, and the consent calendar is approved,

1632
02:26:32,200 --> 02:26:57,480
and I had no questions regarding the job descriptions that were presented, but I noticed that we have job descriptions in and know that our first reading, we waved the second, and then we have action items for the consideration of approval for the new job description coordinator students data system.

1633
02:26:57,480 --> 02:27:00,860
Okay, the consent calendar has already been approved.

1634
02:27:01,700 --> 02:27:06,220
The past practice we used to have with new job descriptions came, they came as action

1635
02:27:06,220 --> 02:27:06,600
items.

1636
02:27:07,500 --> 02:27:12,340
And I know we only have one meeting, but here we have some on the consent calendar and

1637
02:27:12,340 --> 02:27:13,240
we have some on action.

1638
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:15,500
Can I answer that?

1639
02:27:15,860 --> 02:27:16,000
Okay.

1640
02:27:16,520 --> 02:27:16,700
Yes.

1641
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:25,720
So the ones on consent are updates or revisions with new law usually we do, for example, Dr.

1642
02:27:25,720 --> 02:27:30,120
We'll get new law that states what we have to put in a job description for certain jobs.

1643
02:27:30,660 --> 02:27:36,340
And so we just update them and revise them regularly, whereas action we're putting all the new job descriptions.

1644
02:27:36,520 --> 02:27:41,580
Okay, the bond staff of the firm is a new job description purchasing clerk.

1645
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:44,380
Now, we have purchasing clerk's.

1646
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:47,040
Okay, is this a new position to me?

1647
02:27:47,900 --> 02:27:54,820
It's not, we have purchasing clerks and the bond one is the former, we already have that as staff account.

1648
02:27:54,820 --> 02:27:59,500
We already have a staff accountant, so we added bond so that this person is just dealing with measure A

1649
02:28:00,580 --> 02:28:07,260
So it's not really a new job description. It's the it's the same except they're focusing only on the bond

1650
02:28:07,260 --> 02:28:08,220
And

1651
02:28:10,240 --> 02:28:15,840
we already have purchasing code. So okay, so you're saying that there were just revisions of existing job

1652
02:28:15,840 --> 02:28:21,220
Subscriptions of existing we put on consent. Okay, so if we have a new job description

1653
02:28:21,220 --> 02:28:24,760
It'll be action. We don't have it'll be action action, okay, right?

1654
02:28:25,540 --> 02:28:28,260
That's a good reminder though, it's a good observation, very good.

1655
02:28:29,080 --> 02:28:30,620
I think we've covered consent.

1656
02:28:31,320 --> 02:28:36,220
Yes, we have, down to item 15, and we have a staff report, if I'm on the right agenda item.

1657
02:28:38,360 --> 02:28:40,600
Differentiated in assistance, English learners.

1658
02:28:43,020 --> 02:28:45,620
This is item 15a, first action.

1659
02:28:50,070 --> 02:28:53,230
Yes, it's not, it's a staff report, it's a staff report.

1660
02:28:53,430 --> 02:28:54,150
Staff report, yes.

1661
02:28:55,370 --> 02:28:56,670
Dr. Mukheri, go right ahead.

1662
02:28:56,670 --> 02:29:23,330
Thank you, President Davis and trustees and Superintendent De Leon and staff, we are pleased tonight to present to you information on differentiated assistance, progress of English learners, and our path to solution for the achievement levels we're currently seeing our English learner population, and I am proud to present Dr. Connie Svera and Guadalupe Rez Castillo, who will take us through the first part of the presentation.

1663
02:29:23,330 --> 02:29:24,690
Ladies, welcome.

1664
02:29:25,030 --> 02:29:25,610
Nice to see you again.

1665
02:29:26,050 --> 02:29:26,410
Thank you.

1666
02:29:26,550 --> 02:29:26,870
Thank you.

1667
02:29:28,110 --> 02:29:28,690
Okay.

1668
02:29:28,890 --> 02:29:29,390
Well, here we go.

1669
02:29:31,270 --> 02:29:37,930
This is Oxnard Union High School District and as you can see, we have 16,661 students.

1670
02:29:38,650 --> 02:29:44,110
68.1% of our students are on free and reduced lunch.

1671
02:29:44,230 --> 02:29:45,610
That's how we identify them.

1672
02:29:45,990 --> 02:29:49,910
I like to not only use the percentages but the number.

1673
02:29:49,910 --> 02:29:54,210
So what does that, what does that mean to us here in OUHSD?

1674
02:29:54,370 --> 02:29:59,790
That means that we have 11,346 students that are participating.

1675
02:30:09,860 --> 02:30:29,980
So, since we're focusing on just our English learners, I'm not going to do the foster youth. English learners, many studies show that 80% of those students also are impoverished families, and so we'll see that the students, not all students, will be in socially economically disadvantaged, but 80% of those students will be impacted.

1676
02:30:29,980 --> 02:30:32,100
20% of those students will be-

1677
02:30:32,100 --> 02:30:35,660
Mr. Ray, the way you're on particular slides, I think maybe just for efficiency.

1678
02:30:35,880 --> 02:30:38,400
If you have some questions about these slides, let's ask them.

1679
02:30:39,440 --> 02:30:49,460
Yeah, and I do, for example, I appreciate the 13 to say the 14% of our current school population is English labeled as the English Learners Classified as.

1680
02:30:50,160 --> 02:30:55,020
Can you give us some sense, is that flat line increasing, decreasing?

1681
02:30:55,740 --> 02:30:59,740
I always like about three year trend lines and what does this mean to us?

1682
02:30:59,740 --> 02:31:20,600
Is that we did have a decrease in and that is because one of the reasons is of course well I can't say that either we are seeing students enrolling but they're the unaccompanied youth they're they're it's a different type of student they're the students that

1683
02:31:21,240 --> 02:31:28,140
came on their own they were taken in by foster homes and now they're enrolled in our schools so we're seeing students from Central America

1684
02:31:29,740 --> 02:31:33,120
So we do have some students that are the Winemey High School,

1685
02:31:33,580 --> 02:31:38,400
Channel Islands High School, and Oxnard High School have been impacted by those students.

1686
02:31:38,880 --> 02:31:43,340
Okay, I'm just saying over the last three years as a district, would 14% be about it?

1687
02:31:43,340 --> 02:31:45,060
Are you saying it's slightly lower than-

1688
02:31:45,060 --> 02:31:45,840
It's slightly lower.

1689
02:31:45,940 --> 02:31:46,520
It's slightly lower, okay.

1690
02:31:47,060 --> 02:31:53,520
And that's also because of a lot of cleanup with the data that's coming from the feeder school.

1691
02:31:53,720 --> 02:31:53,860
All right.

1692
02:31:55,200 --> 02:31:58,260
And we had a lot of reclassifications last year.

1693
02:31:58,260 --> 02:31:58,700
Yes.

1694
02:31:59,840 --> 02:32:00,400
Okay.

1695
02:32:01,040 --> 02:32:03,440
Then this slide, I'm going to take a little longer.

1696
02:32:03,560 --> 02:32:08,240
It's actually a pretty important slide once I really started thinking about this.

1697
02:32:08,640 --> 02:32:11,440
So the blue is our English only students.

1698
02:32:12,120 --> 02:32:17,900
And as you can see, that's 7,000 students of the 16,000, 1760.

1699
02:32:18,580 --> 02:32:20,020
So that was last year's enrollment.

1700
02:32:20,740 --> 02:32:27,080
Then the orange slice of the pie is initial through an English proficient.

1701
02:32:27,080 --> 02:32:31,040
So, you may be thinking, I'll let them, let the fire truck go by.

1702
02:32:31,600 --> 02:32:36,460
Okay, you may be thinking, how do we identify English only and a EL student?

1703
02:32:37,180 --> 02:32:42,700
So, when our students enroll in our district, the feeder schools will send forward their

1704
02:32:42,700 --> 02:32:47,160
information, and so a home language survey was done at our feeder schools.

1705
02:32:47,480 --> 02:32:51,880
But our new students that enroll coming from different parts of the world, or different

1706
02:32:51,880 --> 02:32:55,320
parts of the country, they fill out the home language survey.

1707
02:32:55,320 --> 02:33:01,800
A simple survey, four questions, and if the students answer any other language other than

1708
02:33:01,800 --> 02:33:09,360
English is spoken at home, then we have to by law assess the English proficiency of

1709
02:33:09,360 --> 02:33:13,120
the student, and that's the initial LTAC, thanks Connie.

1710
02:33:14,020 --> 02:33:20,720
So we have the students take that, and then that is how the IFEP is determined, either

1711
02:33:20,720 --> 02:33:22,540
are there an English only student?

1712
02:33:22,680 --> 02:33:24,360
Well, English only won't be doing it.

1713
02:33:24,620 --> 02:33:26,140
Either they're an English learner

1714
02:33:26,140 --> 02:33:29,300
or they're initial fluent English proficient.

1715
02:33:29,860 --> 02:33:32,520
So these will be students that have grown up

1716
02:33:32,520 --> 02:33:34,740
in a language-rich environment.

1717
02:33:34,980 --> 02:33:35,860
They'll be bilingual.

1718
02:33:37,180 --> 02:33:39,860
And so they're not English only

1719
02:33:39,860 --> 02:33:41,980
because they do speak another language,

1720
02:33:42,120 --> 02:33:44,860
but they're not an EL, an English learner.

1721
02:33:45,700 --> 02:33:47,180
Then the next slice of the pie,

1722
02:33:47,180 --> 02:33:50,880
by the English learner, the 13.9%.

1723
02:33:51,720 --> 02:33:56,580
Those are students, they could be a newcomer.

1724
02:33:56,740 --> 02:33:59,640
One, two, one, one, two, one, three.

1725
02:34:00,200 --> 02:34:03,580
They have been classified as English learners.

1726
02:34:04,300 --> 02:34:06,960
However, I think what's really important in this slide

1727
02:34:07,260 --> 02:34:11,040
is that we are all aware that all of these children

1728
02:34:11,340 --> 02:34:13,720
are in mainstream instruction.

1729
02:34:13,720 --> 02:34:24,560
So their coursework, while those ELs will be in ESL 101 as newcomers or 102 or 103, all

1730
02:34:24,560 --> 02:34:29,380
of these children will be in the mainstream in their content areas.

1731
02:34:29,740 --> 02:34:34,820
And then also these newcomers will come to us at different levels of education, they're

1732
02:34:35,320 --> 02:34:40,300
very educated or very undereducated and that's what we're finding with our students from

1733
02:34:40,300 --> 02:34:43,540
Central America is very under-educated.

1734
02:34:44,160 --> 02:34:48,700
Then we have the long-term English learners also in the gray area.

1735
02:34:49,260 --> 02:34:53,000
Those are students that have been learning English for six years or more.

1736
02:34:54,200 --> 02:35:01,180
As most of them have been born here in the United States, just that they've been in a situation

1737
02:35:01,180 --> 02:35:07,200
either academic situation or they've been in and out of the United States like we're

1738
02:35:07,200 --> 02:35:14,980
saying they've just not been able to surpass the need of the criteria which is required

1739
02:35:15,460 --> 02:35:22,560
to be reclassified with that test, with the cell, and now with the LPEC.

1740
02:35:23,080 --> 02:35:27,820
So we have typologies even within the long-term English language learners.

1741
02:35:27,820 --> 02:35:32,620
We have the students that are making progress in their English proficiency and then we have

1742
02:35:32,620 --> 02:35:36,960
the students that are stuck at that intermediate level.

1743
02:35:37,760 --> 02:35:54,160
And this is the confusing part for many of our faculty members is because the students are able to converse very well in English, but when it comes down to their reading and writing skills, their literary skills are, they're not very well developed.

1744
02:35:54,160 --> 02:36:03,080
They sound like a native speaker by lingual person, but also in their primary language, their skills are not well.

1745
02:36:04,240 --> 02:36:12,760
Then the other thing that's important about this is that, well, most of the long-term English learners are found in grades 6 through 12.

1746
02:36:13,500 --> 02:36:18,020
So here we are, we're 9 through 12, so we have many long-term English learners.

1747
02:36:18,520 --> 02:36:29,860
And then the last piece of the pie, as you can see, are reclassified students, are fluent English proficient, 6,725.

1748
02:36:30,760 --> 02:36:35,320
And they have, as you were saying, they met the criteria for the LPAC.

1749
02:36:36,140 --> 02:36:37,860
And that we got to set.

1750
02:36:38,960 --> 02:36:40,840
And thank you, by the way, the board.

1751
02:36:41,000 --> 02:36:44,500
Thank you for looking at our reclassification.

1752
02:36:44,500 --> 02:36:52,780
because we had said a criteria that previously the state had said that each local educational agency would have the opportunity to set their criteria.

1753
02:36:53,340 --> 02:37:04,500
And then later on the state sent us a new letter saying that we had to have a four, which is the maximum on this test that students had to have a four on overall.

1754
02:37:05,180 --> 02:37:08,540
And then we could make up the other pieces of their criteria.

1755
02:37:08,540 --> 02:37:08,700
Yeah.

1756
02:37:09,040 --> 02:37:09,360
Yes, please.

1757
02:37:09,980 --> 02:37:18,220
Regarding the reclassified students and the feeder schools, once a student is reclassified in the K8 feeder schools, they remain reclassified.

1758
02:37:18,400 --> 02:37:18,600
Correct.

1759
02:37:18,960 --> 02:37:19,380
We classified.

1760
02:37:19,820 --> 02:37:19,980
Yes.

1761
02:37:20,140 --> 02:37:22,100
We do not read, check.

1762
02:37:22,620 --> 02:37:24,120
No, but we need to monitor.

1763
02:37:24,320 --> 02:37:24,960
Monitor, I understand.

1764
02:37:25,220 --> 02:37:25,580
For four years.

1765
02:37:25,720 --> 02:37:30,880
But once reclassified, I do not quote revert to another category of eight students, right?

1766
02:37:31,560 --> 02:37:31,780
Thank you.

1767
02:37:31,780 --> 02:37:34,920
I have two questions about this, can I ask?

1768
02:37:34,920 --> 02:37:35,620
Yes, please go ahead.

1769
02:37:35,720 --> 02:37:36,000
Thank you.

1770
02:37:37,140 --> 02:37:41,500
On the reclassific student, when they are reclassified

1771
02:37:41,500 --> 02:37:45,660
by the high school district, is there a time frame

1772
02:37:45,660 --> 02:37:48,440
by when you need to do that?

1773
02:37:48,580 --> 02:37:50,840
Is there a specific mandate from the state?

1774
02:37:51,020 --> 02:37:54,440
As I said, on 10th grade, you have to test them

1775
02:37:54,440 --> 02:37:55,540
and reclassify them.

1776
02:37:55,620 --> 02:37:57,840
It could be at any time during 9th and to 12th.

1777
02:37:58,000 --> 02:37:59,520
The initials are done every month.

1778
02:38:00,580 --> 02:38:05,760
So from the initial, it's primarily the initial is usually done every month at the end of

1779
02:38:05,760 --> 02:38:09,800
the month, and that just guides us into the type of program they need to be in.

1780
02:38:10,480 --> 02:38:16,340
However, the summative is just done once a year, the LPAC summative, and that one gives

1781
02:38:16,340 --> 02:38:25,560
us four to six weeks, an idea of how many students will be reclassified, however, we also

1782
02:38:25,560 --> 02:38:34,380
have the ELRT team which goes out to the schools and reviews every single EL and RPEP student.

1783
02:38:35,020 --> 02:38:39,980
And from that report that we do, we also reclassify students.

1784
02:38:40,640 --> 02:38:47,380
So I think also just the second part of that is reclassification can happen anytime throughout

1785
02:38:47,380 --> 02:38:47,980
the year.

1786
02:38:47,980 --> 02:38:55,140
We now, with the previous SELT test, the students took the test in October.

1787
02:38:55,720 --> 02:38:57,680
We would get the results in August.

1788
02:38:58,560 --> 02:39:01,040
So it was quite a lengthy process.

1789
02:39:01,260 --> 02:39:03,040
So now we have four to six turn around.

1790
02:39:04,220 --> 02:39:11,620
So for auditing purposes, they want us to move, reclassified students off before C-Bets,

1791
02:39:11,780 --> 02:39:12,880
which is in October.

1792
02:39:12,880 --> 02:39:23,000
So now we're going to be reclassifying students in the spring and we actually started at Boxing Art High School last week.

1793
02:39:23,540 --> 02:39:33,300
Is there ever a time where the middle school reclassify them and they get to us and now we have to declassify them?

1794
02:39:33,300 --> 02:39:36,680
We can't undo the reclassification,

1795
02:39:37,140 --> 02:39:39,340
but they're, however,

1796
02:39:39,840 --> 02:39:43,780
but however, sometimes we don't know

1797
02:39:43,780 --> 02:39:45,620
that they have been reclassified,

1798
02:39:46,400 --> 02:39:47,840
and that's the problem.

1799
02:39:47,940 --> 02:39:48,160
Yes.

1800
02:39:48,440 --> 02:39:49,380
We're testing them,

1801
02:39:49,740 --> 02:39:51,700
and some of the children will come to us

1802
02:39:51,700 --> 02:39:53,520
and say, but I've already taken this test,

1803
02:39:53,680 --> 02:39:55,080
and I know I've passed this test,

1804
02:39:55,440 --> 02:39:57,340
and yeah, but we don't know that.

1805
02:39:57,660 --> 02:39:59,940
So what happens is maybe they've been reclassified

1806
02:39:59,940 --> 02:40:01,020
in the fourth grade,

1807
02:40:02,340 --> 02:40:07,960
And someone forgets to input it into their system.

1808
02:40:08,760 --> 02:40:11,380
And then when the computer cowpats picks it up,

1809
02:40:11,400 --> 02:40:16,780
they come to us still reclassifies it as an English learner.

1810
02:40:17,440 --> 02:40:21,160
And so then that's when we had, that was the cleanup I was talking about.

1811
02:40:21,520 --> 02:40:23,480
We're glad I really helped us in Larnie.

1812
02:40:24,140 --> 02:40:29,460
The students that were, as Connie said, we were testing them.

1813
02:40:29,460 --> 02:40:36,840
parents, parent phone calls, students saying hey I know I was reclassified so it's a process

1814
02:40:36,840 --> 02:40:38,780
we're working on it, it's getting better.

1815
02:40:38,860 --> 02:40:43,180
We did follow the law because by law it says an EL needs to be treated.

1816
02:40:45,180 --> 02:40:47,620
Sorry they want you to use the microphone over there.

1817
02:40:48,440 --> 02:40:48,540
Okay.

1818
02:40:48,900 --> 02:40:49,300
Thank you.

1819
02:40:49,500 --> 02:40:49,900
Okay.

1820
02:40:52,500 --> 02:40:59,600
So here we have our long term English language learners as you can see these students, most

1821
02:40:59,600 --> 02:41:02,360
Most of them are, oh, sorry, it's okay.

1822
02:41:03,620 --> 02:41:06,760
It's just I have my teacher voice, that's why I didn't think I needed to.

1823
02:41:08,260 --> 02:41:13,240
As most of our long-term English language learners, they have, most of them have been born

1824
02:41:13,240 --> 02:41:19,320
here in the United States and have been here for at least six years and yet they're not

1825
02:41:19,320 --> 02:41:21,280
reclassified, as you can see there.

1826
02:41:21,960 --> 02:41:24,860
They struggle, they continue to struggle academically.

1827
02:41:24,860 --> 02:41:32,200
by L1 it's their primary language which is usually a Spanish and the L2 is the language

1828
02:41:32,200 --> 02:41:38,760
that they're learning English and so in both areas there's a weakness, there's a challenge

1829
02:41:38,760 --> 02:41:47,640
for them and as Lupus said earlier too often these children speak like we do, I mean it sounds

1830
02:41:47,640 --> 02:41:54,260
like they're not English language learners and so teachers are very confused about what you're

1831
02:41:54,260 --> 02:41:58,560
They're telling me these are English language learners, and yet look at the way they're speaking.

1832
02:41:58,800 --> 02:42:00,720
They're speaking as English-only students.

1833
02:42:01,180 --> 02:42:06,420
So that causes a problem for and frustration for the teacher who is trying to figure out who's

1834
02:42:06,420 --> 02:42:11,740
their English language learner, what kind of instruction they need to support the student with.

1835
02:42:13,200 --> 02:42:20,140
And especially at the mainstream level because all our students, even though they're ESL, are in the mainstream,

1836
02:42:21,960 --> 02:42:33,520
It's, and because long-term English language learners need explicit instruction, it can cause confusion for teachers and for students.

1837
02:42:33,720 --> 02:42:43,800
And because these children have not experienced success at all in their academics, these are the ones that we fear might be our dropouts.

1838
02:42:43,980 --> 02:42:46,560
And so we really need to watch out for these students.

1839
02:42:52,020 --> 02:43:04,620
So we have the LPAC now, finally, after many years of having to deal with the cell, then students saying I've done that test and they can almost do it with their eyes closed, but then we would say, well, then do it.

1840
02:43:05,120 --> 02:43:14,040
But now we do have the LPAC, and it is a test that it's the English language proficiency assessment for California.

1841
02:43:14,580 --> 02:43:19,500
We have the initial which is done at most schools every month when we have new students.

1842
02:43:19,500 --> 02:43:24,580
and we have the once a year, the summative, which begins at the Oxnard Union High School

1843
02:43:24,580 --> 02:43:31,180
District February 1st, and all our schools are done, but it usually ends around the 30th

1844
02:43:31,180 --> 02:43:38,960
of March. As you can see, starting at the very lower bottom there, we have the Level 1,

1845
02:43:39,060 --> 02:43:46,080
which is usually those students who are in ESL beginning 1, but because we're very fortunate

1846
02:43:46,080 --> 02:43:54,360
it to have a very flexible component as part of our EL classes, they don't have to stay in

1847
02:43:54,360 --> 02:44:01,660
that class just because it's a one-year class. They can move on to a level two. They're not

1848
02:44:01,660 --> 02:44:07,260
ready to be reclassified, but let's remember that they are still in the mainstream in addition

1849
02:44:07,260 --> 02:44:13,480
to getting English language development. And then they get to a level three, which is usually

1850
02:44:13,480 --> 02:44:27,560
and ESO 3, and both the Level 2 102 class and the Level 3 are AP, A through G approved courses, excuse me not AP, A through G approved courses.

1851
02:44:28,280 --> 02:44:40,420
Finally, in the first of the year, we get a letter from CDE telling us that no longer can we reclassify students at the Level 3, they must be at a Level 4.

1852
02:44:41,060 --> 02:44:43,800
and with no subtest lower than the three.

1853
02:44:44,900 --> 02:44:50,260
So we had to change and that request came before the board

1854
02:44:50,260 --> 02:44:54,320
so that we're all doing the same thing here.

1855
02:44:54,600 --> 02:44:57,620
And we were actually told when we started the LPAC

1856
02:44:57,620 --> 02:45:00,020
that the LEA could do it, you know,

1857
02:45:00,240 --> 02:45:11,680
Choose to reclassify students that were in level three and now they're telling us no more. It's only level four. Any questions on this? Overall, yes.

1858
02:45:18,540 --> 02:45:36,140
Okay, so let me tell you a little bit about the LPAC. The LPAC is aligned to all the content standards, even CTE, ELA, ELT. So the students, their English proficiency is being tested using the content standards and the idea behind that

1859
02:45:36,140 --> 02:45:39,180
is that the students should be able to perform

1860
02:45:39,180 --> 02:45:41,700
and compete with their English only peers

1861
02:45:41,700 --> 02:45:42,960
in the classroom.

1862
02:45:43,660 --> 02:45:46,440
So again, this is last year's results.

1863
02:45:47,400 --> 02:45:49,720
I tried to match it up to the self.

1864
02:45:49,900 --> 02:45:51,520
There was no rhyme or reason.

1865
02:45:51,680 --> 02:45:55,280
I tried different ways, and it just didn't work out.

1866
02:45:55,680 --> 02:45:57,360
But again, I like numbers.

1867
02:45:58,120 --> 02:46:01,920
So 20% is 475 students.

1868
02:46:04,360 --> 02:46:13,780
level 3 or 26% is 618, 24 is 570, and 30% is 713 students.

1869
02:46:14,220 --> 02:46:19,780
So I just wanted to give you a little bit of a snapshot of how we did this past year.

1870
02:46:20,300 --> 02:46:20,780
Where do you go?

1871
02:46:24,580 --> 02:46:26,640
It is a much more challenging test.

1872
02:46:28,060 --> 02:46:31,300
It's a much more challenging test and we are glad for it.

1873
02:46:39,220 --> 02:46:44,240
So having Dr. Nogara here was a pleasure.

1874
02:46:45,390 --> 02:46:53,280
I took so many notes, I scribbled all over my report here and it's to respond to student

1875
02:46:53,280 --> 02:46:53,880
need.

1876
02:46:54,560 --> 02:46:57,200
It's to make a commitment to our students.

1877
02:46:57,860 --> 02:47:03,340
It's doing equity work for teachers and for our students, for our community.

1878
02:47:03,340 --> 02:47:11,260
But very important for our students is that every teacher, every day, provides their students

1879
02:47:11,260 --> 02:47:15,500
with high level reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

1880
02:47:16,060 --> 02:47:17,120
That's what we want.

1881
02:47:17,600 --> 02:47:19,000
That's what our students need.

1882
02:47:19,640 --> 02:47:23,080
And we need that because our students do come with language.

1883
02:47:23,220 --> 02:47:25,780
They do come with a lot of funds of knowledge.

1884
02:47:26,080 --> 02:47:32,180
However, we need to guide them towards the academic language, which is what's going to help

1885
02:47:32,180 --> 02:47:40,020
them succeed. Formative assessments, it's very important. It's giving the students feedback

1886
02:47:40,020 --> 02:47:45,060
on what they're providing us with. No more you should have had this last year. No, it's

1887
02:47:45,060 --> 02:47:50,900
you're here in my class. I'm going to meet you where you're at. And this is how, this is

1888
02:47:50,900 --> 02:47:56,300
what you need to learn. And this is how I'm going to do it. The planning is very important.

1889
02:47:56,300 --> 02:47:57,140
Yes.

1890
02:48:02,170 --> 02:48:07,950
For our English learners, for the classes that they take, that are supplemental.

1891
02:48:08,310 --> 02:48:09,890
What is the class size number?

1892
02:48:10,970 --> 02:48:13,930
Could range, it can go up as high as 38.

1893
02:48:14,750 --> 02:48:16,190
And in your professional opinion.

1894
02:48:17,550 --> 02:48:20,690
That's too high, that's way too high.

1895
02:48:21,190 --> 02:48:26,810
These students have special needs, teachers need to have them very explicit training and

1896
02:48:26,810 --> 02:48:31,710
very explicit instruction that they give these children in order to give them the kind of

1897
02:48:31,710 --> 02:48:33,250
feedback for them to grow.

1898
02:48:33,890 --> 02:48:40,010
They need to be able to work with these children almost, almost on a one-to-one basis, or at

1899
02:48:40,010 --> 02:48:41,350
least in a small group setting.

1900
02:48:42,410 --> 02:48:47,930
So studies would show that the average class size that's most effective is about 15-to-one.

1901
02:48:48,170 --> 02:48:51,930
Would you be, would you say that that's right or that's true?

1902
02:48:51,990 --> 02:48:52,190
Yes.

1903
02:48:52,730 --> 02:48:52,890
Yes.

1904
02:48:52,890 --> 02:49:00,110
And that's 15 to one with a teacher who has the knowledge, the skills, and the expertise for that type of student.

1905
02:49:00,710 --> 02:49:06,550
And so speaking of that, when teachers are instructing those classes,

1906
02:49:06,870 --> 02:49:14,490
are they given professional development by practicing teachers that are in the classroom to help improve their practice?

1907
02:49:14,770 --> 02:49:15,690
How does that work?

1908
02:49:17,050 --> 02:49:22,450
At times, sometimes I think what Dr. Nogarro was saying is that the kind of professional

1909
02:49:22,450 --> 02:49:27,170
development that is specific to the needs of the students is what our teachers need.

1910
02:49:28,260 --> 02:49:34,110
As a teacher who's a B-clad, I found myself saying, oh my goodness, I am so glad I understand

1911
02:49:34,110 --> 02:49:41,430
language development, I understand the need for processing time and our teachers and teacher

1912
02:49:41,430 --> 02:49:47,930
preparation do not get that kind of support or understanding about English language learners,

1913
02:49:48,290 --> 02:49:53,550
let alone long term English language learners. And so what we've got are teachers who are teaching

1914
02:49:53,550 --> 02:49:59,750
their content to a general audience what they believe are students who are going to be understanding

1915
02:49:59,750 --> 02:50:07,850
this. But it takes explicit scaffolding. It takes a language development of the content and each

1916
02:50:07,850 --> 02:50:14,670
content, science, math, English, social science, has a language of its own, and it needs

1917
02:50:14,670 --> 02:50:19,710
to be very explicit for our students and our teachers need to be able to give them that

1918
02:50:19,710 --> 02:50:20,630
kind of instruction.

1919
02:50:22,940 --> 02:50:28,540
So as one trustee, advocating for smaller class sizes is an important thing to me and

1920
02:50:28,540 --> 02:50:33,360
I think it's really important for the public and for everyone to hear that as leaders of

1921
02:50:33,360 --> 02:50:37,260
English learners that you would also be advocating for smaller class sizes.

1922
02:50:37,600 --> 02:50:37,900
We do.

1923
02:50:37,900 --> 02:50:38,520
Thank you.

1924
02:50:38,760 --> 02:50:48,580
I'd like to add that this year we had, we brought back some classes that we had retired

1925
02:50:48,580 --> 02:50:52,240
because of the skills that the students are coming with.

1926
02:50:52,500 --> 02:51:00,540
So we brought back Spanish 101, which is a basic Spanish class, the letters, the sounds,

1927
02:51:01,200 --> 02:51:02,600
putting the letters together.

1928
02:51:03,260 --> 02:51:05,160
That's how low the students are coming.

1929
02:51:05,160 --> 02:51:13,000
Then we also had the same math class, a very basic math class for the students.

1930
02:51:13,680 --> 02:51:16,620
So these are the students that are sitting in the mainstream.

1931
02:51:16,900 --> 02:51:20,840
And we were lucky enough to be able to split the classes and make it happen.

1932
02:51:21,340 --> 02:51:25,280
But if we hadn't been able to do that, these students would have been in the mainstream.

1933
02:51:25,860 --> 02:51:27,140
But the general ed kids.

1934
02:51:27,340 --> 02:51:28,460
Class size matters.

1935
02:51:29,280 --> 02:51:29,880
Thank you.

1936
02:51:30,500 --> 02:51:35,760
So just to finish off, it's continuous but progress monitoring.

1937
02:51:36,280 --> 02:51:41,940
This helps the teachers, this helps the students, is my teaching helping my students learn.

1938
02:51:42,440 --> 02:51:49,300
And so that's really important, because it focuses on the needs, specific language and

1939
02:51:49,980 --> 02:51:52,660
academic needs of our English language learners.

1940
02:51:53,420 --> 02:51:56,280
You had a question, I'll wait until you, over or less.

1941
02:51:58,940 --> 02:52:05,220
We like this slide because it's our English learner review team, our e-learned team.

1942
02:52:06,080 --> 02:52:12,360
And this gives us an opportunity to go out to schools and look at every single English

1943
02:52:12,360 --> 02:52:18,740
language learner to evaluate their program, to evaluate their progress, and so who is this

1944
02:52:18,740 --> 02:52:18,980
team?

1945
02:52:19,200 --> 02:52:23,980
Well, our administrators, principals are there, assistant principals who are aligned to

1946
02:52:23,980 --> 02:52:30,000
to English language learners, we have special programs counselors, but also the general

1947
02:52:30,000 --> 02:52:31,160
ed counselor there.

1948
02:52:32,200 --> 02:52:39,040
We have, we need content teachers, including the ESL and ELD teacher, very important to

1949
02:52:39,040 --> 02:52:42,940
have the native speaker teacher, absolutely need an avid teacher there.

1950
02:52:43,460 --> 02:52:50,860
And of course, the focus is also on, because we have so many of our ELs in SPED, we also need

1951
02:52:50,860 --> 02:52:52,560
that SPED teacher there too.

1952
02:52:52,560 --> 02:52:58,940
And, of course, we're part of the team, Lupe and I, and Vanessa, who don't make up that team.

1953
02:53:00,460 --> 02:53:05,500
So, keeping in mind that 52% of our students are English learners on a spectrum.

1954
02:53:06,140 --> 02:53:08,300
So, what do we do as a team?

1955
02:53:08,640 --> 02:53:14,540
We meet together as educational leaders, and we also meet to monitor.

1956
02:53:15,140 --> 02:53:20,660
So, like Connie said, we review every single EL, every single LTL,

1957
02:53:20,660 --> 02:53:50,160
Every single we have to by law now monitor the reclassify students for four years and we're looking at we're looking at their grade their attendance their academic progress the credits so it's the whole child it's not just looking at one particular thing so using the dashboard colors green those are the students that have scored overall four on the LPAC and they're progressing nicely.

1958
02:53:50,160 --> 02:53:56,400
academically and they're on track for graduation so we actually have a spreadsheet with all this

1959
02:53:56,400 --> 02:54:00,240
information and we'll highlight them green and so we know those are the students that we need

1960
02:54:00,240 --> 02:54:08,280
to reclassify. Then we have the yellow where they're not ready to reclassify so that's one of the

1961
02:54:08,280 --> 02:54:14,700
reasons they're yellow is they're not ready. We take a look at again their grades or GPA, their credits

1962
02:54:15,480 --> 02:54:21,840
And then we make suggestions, and that's why we like to have the counselors there and the administrators.

1963
02:54:22,180 --> 02:54:27,100
We make suggestions in regard to supports and interventions for these students.

1964
02:54:27,820 --> 02:54:30,760
And then of course, we really recommend a parent meeting.

1965
02:54:31,220 --> 02:54:38,000
So we're kind of in that, we could go either way to the fall into the red.

1966
02:54:38,400 --> 02:54:41,860
But definitely we want them to continue going toward the green.

1967
02:54:42,980 --> 02:54:49,440
Now immediate action required, these are the students that we have seen with a 0.8 GPA.

1968
02:54:49,900 --> 02:54:51,600
They missed 55 days.

1969
02:54:51,980 --> 02:54:54,880
They have multiple Ds and Fs.

1970
02:54:55,800 --> 02:55:00,420
You know, we do have some Ds and Fs in the yellow, but it's very sparse.

1971
02:55:00,940 --> 02:55:05,020
But the red, the red, the students need urgent care.

1972
02:55:05,480 --> 02:55:07,940
So they're in red, and that's more serious.

1973
02:55:07,940 --> 02:55:13,960
and they need to meet with the principal, the assistant principal, the intervention specialist

1974
02:55:13,960 --> 02:55:19,300
because we think something may be going on at home if they have 55 absences or more.

1975
02:55:21,180 --> 02:55:23,100
So this is urgent care.

1976
02:55:24,400 --> 02:55:29,520
Now what's really nice, and I really love this, this is our third year that we're finishing

1977
02:55:29,520 --> 02:55:33,180
up with our English language review team.

1978
02:55:33,180 --> 02:55:38,620
And everybody is growing into the position and understanding their role.

1979
02:55:39,020 --> 02:55:45,140
It's developed beyond because when we first had the teams developed the usual suspects.

1980
02:55:45,720 --> 02:55:50,140
It was Connie, myself, and anybody that was involved with English language development.

1981
02:55:50,720 --> 02:55:58,280
But now the teams themselves see that this is beyond really there are only 300 EL students,

1982
02:55:58,840 --> 02:56:01,820
newcomers in the entire district.

1983
02:56:01,820 --> 02:56:06,780
So we're talking about, this is our long-term English learners that really need our help.

1984
02:56:08,280 --> 02:56:15,440
And so now the teams are recruiting teachers from the mainstream to come and join us.

1985
02:56:16,320 --> 02:56:20,860
So we meet with the inter-county office of it three times a year, three times a year.

1986
02:56:21,420 --> 02:56:27,120
We meet with the sites twice a year, and then the sites themselves are meeting throughout the school year.

1987
02:56:27,120 --> 02:56:30,380
And I love it because they're being self-directed.

1988
02:56:30,480 --> 02:56:34,280
They're not waiting for us to tell them it's time to meet.

1989
02:56:34,620 --> 02:56:40,320
They're setting up their meetings and they're also deciding what action should we take

1990
02:56:40,320 --> 02:56:41,160
at our school site.

1991
02:56:41,340 --> 02:56:44,080
So, this is why we really love this slide.

1992
02:56:45,120 --> 02:56:48,780
So, this is a student study team format for the e-els.

1993
02:56:48,940 --> 02:56:49,320
Exactly.

1994
02:56:49,760 --> 02:56:49,880
Right.

1995
02:56:59,020 --> 02:57:04,700
So, we want to take the board briefly through the monitoring and assistance processes that

1996
02:57:04,700 --> 02:57:16,820
that have highlighted to us something we already knew is that we're very concerned about the progress for English learners across the system, not just in English language arts and math, but across the content.

1997
02:57:19,100 --> 02:57:31,680
As you know, we are in our second round of federal program monitoring and I want to thank Lupin and Connie for making sure that we are going through the process and it's helping us clean up not only our fiscal but also our instructional.

1998
02:57:31,680 --> 02:58:00,000
And one of the things that's interesting is that federal program monitoring is in the EL focused only on instruction, the budgets are secondary, and you'll see here the three federal program monitoring criteria we're trying to meet around academic instruction to ensure that EL students can meet the district's content standards that they achieve at high levels and core academic subjects, and that they make academic progress.

1999
02:58:01,680 --> 02:58:04,160
Some of our findings is very briefly.

2000
02:58:04,880 --> 02:58:09,060
We're actually seeing the most these announced for EL and science, social science, and math.

2001
02:58:10,100 --> 02:58:14,580
We have to provide evidence that our teachers are receiving that professional development.

2002
02:58:15,240 --> 02:58:18,440
And so that's part of also what the ELR teams are helping us develop.

2003
02:58:18,640 --> 02:58:24,180
What significant professional development do teachers want to have in order to better serve English learners?

2004
02:58:25,180 --> 02:58:28,420
We have to show evidence through academic monitoring.

2005
02:58:28,420 --> 02:58:30,720
And again, that's where alert comes in.

2006
02:58:31,200 --> 02:58:35,480
And then we have to show that interventions are helping our students to make progress.

2007
02:58:36,080 --> 02:58:39,980
And that all ties then eventually back into how we're spending our federal dollars.

2008
02:58:41,160 --> 02:58:44,840
At the state level, we're now eligible for differentiated assistance,

2009
02:58:45,640 --> 02:58:50,500
which is the lowest level of assistance, but still something that we should be very attentive to.

2010
02:58:51,180 --> 02:58:53,980
And we work with the Ventura County Office of Education.

2011
02:58:53,980 --> 02:59:01,320
They are the entity in the state education code that oversees differentiated assistance county offices for districts

2012
02:59:01,320 --> 02:59:08,940
And we are currently in a red status for English learners and again, we're on a color band of blue-green

2013
02:59:09,580 --> 02:59:17,600
Yellow-orange and red sort of from positive to negative and you can see that for English learners on the current dashboard release

2014
02:59:18,180 --> 02:59:23,960
That we have three red areas English language arts math and suspension rate and

2015
02:59:23,980 --> 02:59:29,840
And then one orange and one yellow in terms of the good news being that

2016
02:59:30,480 --> 02:59:34,780
College and Career Indicator is our best indicator for English learners,

2017
02:59:34,780 --> 02:59:37,720
which means they are accessing our College and Career Ready initiatives.

2018
02:59:38,720 --> 02:59:43,660
Again, as Lupo stated, the dashboard is not comparable year over year yet.

2019
02:59:43,900 --> 02:59:46,240
So the first year dashboard that we showed you a year ago,

2020
02:59:46,780 --> 02:59:50,940
they changed every criteria and gave us a new system so it's a one out of one.

2021
02:59:50,940 --> 02:59:56,120
There's no way for us to compare to see how we grew from the first year of the dashboard to this year.

2022
02:59:56,300 --> 02:59:57,560
So this is our baseline year.

2023
02:59:58,780 --> 03:00:00,040
Here at you see the

2024
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:29,680
The status of all the students and subgroups across the district. And you can see that in some good news, sort of off topic, our foster youth improved and suspension rate from red all the way to yellow as a result of last year's discussion of differentiating assistance. And you can see that our areas of concern relate to English learners, homeless and low SCF students. And you can see also that we are concerned about disproportionality in our

2025
03:00:29,680 --> 03:00:30,540
suspension rates.

2026
03:00:32,900 --> 03:00:37,140
We wanted to show you some of our California Healthy Kids survey data so you can see that

2027
03:00:37,140 --> 03:00:44,560
English learners are here in males, dark blue and females light blue and that in terms

2028
03:00:44,560 --> 03:00:52,400
of school connectedness, our EL females tend to score a little bit lower than the average

2029
03:00:53,100 --> 03:00:55,260
and particularly in alternative schools.

2030
03:00:56,100 --> 03:00:58,880
We also looked at caring relationships with adults.

2031
03:00:59,120 --> 03:01:04,020
You see this is another area of connection where we have some work to do to build good

2032
03:01:04,020 --> 03:01:05,720
relationships with our EL students.

2033
03:01:07,980 --> 03:01:10,160
And then we wanted to talk to you about next steps.

2034
03:01:10,420 --> 03:01:11,560
So what does all this mean?

2035
03:01:12,240 --> 03:01:14,980
Well, for us differentiated assistance is a leverage point.

2036
03:01:15,420 --> 03:01:21,060
We are creating a plan and we've had two great meetings with side administrators and

2037
03:01:21,060 --> 03:01:22,640
teacher leaders who've come together.

2038
03:01:22,640 --> 03:01:26,060
one serial at our district office and once at VCOE,

2039
03:01:26,280 --> 03:01:29,160
where we started to look at some of the root causes

2040
03:01:29,160 --> 03:01:31,660
of the struggle for English learners in our system.

2041
03:01:32,900 --> 03:01:35,160
Again, and this is where we think the equity work

2042
03:01:35,160 --> 03:01:38,400
with Dr. Noguerre's team will be very helpful to us,

2043
03:01:38,500 --> 03:01:41,160
to try and get to some additional solutions

2044
03:01:41,160 --> 03:01:42,860
that we haven't possibly looked at before.

2045
03:01:43,460 --> 03:01:45,220
But here's where we're starting in the fall.

2046
03:01:46,060 --> 03:01:47,540
Every site, as we've told you,

2047
03:01:47,620 --> 03:01:49,180
has an instructional leadership team,

2048
03:01:49,180 --> 03:01:53,340
include site content leads, department chairs, administrators, counselors.

2049
03:01:53,940 --> 03:01:59,220
That team is a place where we are going to discuss monthly a report out from the English

2050
03:01:59,220 --> 03:02:01,600
learner response team in terms of progress monitoring.

2051
03:02:02,560 --> 03:02:06,760
Lesson study, which is period of peer observation where teachers come together in plan.

2052
03:02:07,620 --> 03:02:13,880
They teach and observe one another and then they go back to the table together to discuss what happened with student outcomes.

2053
03:02:14,960 --> 03:02:18,780
We say in this process of lesson study, which will be teacher directed,

2054
03:02:18,980 --> 03:02:27,780
we'll have our learning design coaches train teachers to do it, that typically in a lesson you get three outcomes, you get what you intended, you get something different, or you get zero, you get nothing.

2055
03:02:28,360 --> 03:02:39,560
And in the past, everything other than I got what I intended, we would potentially say to ourselves it's the wrong students, wrong community, wrong parents, they weren't prepared.

2056
03:02:39,560 --> 03:02:46,200
But now we can actually ask ourselves some instructional questions about why didn't I get what I intended or why didn't the students

2057
03:02:47,580 --> 03:02:54,760
Produce what was the instructional answer and teachers will discuss that with one another and then report that out to their instructional leadership teams

2058
03:02:55,720 --> 03:03:04,040
Instructional rounds which looping and Connie have led at a couple sites this year are we we collaborate with administrator and teacher teams and we go across sites

2059
03:03:04,040 --> 03:03:05,500
so we had

2060
03:03:06,200 --> 03:03:21,540
Administrators and teachers from other sites go to Rio Mesa and then go to Oxnard High School where they ask an instructional question and then observe classes and then come together to discuss their findings and we believe that's going to be a half to process for us in differentiated assistance.

2061
03:03:22,220 --> 03:03:33,260
Importantly we're trying to remain asset based so you heard Connie reference we don't always ask students what their fund of knowledge is sometimes in high school we assume they're at zero or they're at negative

2062
03:03:33,260 --> 03:03:35,940
and that we have to provide every single thing that they know.

2063
03:03:36,380 --> 03:03:39,420
Our students know a lot and they bring a lot to us from their community.

2064
03:03:39,860 --> 03:03:44,260
We have to take time to find out what they have and we have to be very positive about

2065
03:03:44,260 --> 03:03:49,740
what they bring to the table and not always see them as a zero or as at deficit when they

2066
03:03:49,740 --> 03:03:50,640
begin the learning.

2067
03:03:50,940 --> 03:03:55,460
So we're really trying to encourage some formal processes around how we find out what

2068
03:03:55,460 --> 03:03:56,060
students know.

2069
03:03:56,880 --> 03:03:58,660
And then equity lives into master schedules.

2070
03:03:58,660 --> 03:04:03,660
So as been referenced tonight, we're going to take a close look at what's being offered,

2071
03:04:03,920 --> 03:04:09,640
what class sizes we can offer for students who are most at risk and in need, and where

2072
03:04:09,640 --> 03:04:12,580
we can make changes in the master schedule like loop a reference.

2073
03:04:12,920 --> 03:04:18,160
This year with the LCAP, we had some FTE available, so when we saw a challenge with our new

2074
03:04:18,160 --> 03:04:22,620
comers, particularly from Central America, being lower than we'd experienced in the past in

2075
03:04:22,620 --> 03:04:27,800
terms of prior schooling, we were able to create some differentiated sections to serve them

2076
03:04:27,800 --> 03:04:33,060
better as new arrivals, we have to be attentive to what's going to master schedules in order

2077
03:04:33,060 --> 03:04:38,040
to make equity happen for kids. That's our last slide. We'll be happy to answer any other

2078
03:04:38,040 --> 03:04:42,660
questions you might have. Justice, do you want to give us a start?

2079
03:04:43,860 --> 03:04:52,380
So I just wanted to be kind of ask the experts here. I don't, I see the plan and that's what you're

2080
03:04:52,380 --> 03:04:57,780
going to be doing, but in addition to that, you know, we mentioned the class size, you

2081
03:04:57,780 --> 03:05:03,840
know, trustee share raised that issue with you. But what else can be done in terms of strategies

2082
03:05:03,840 --> 03:05:12,060
within the classroom if the teacher needs that additional assistance, you know, like embedded

2083
03:05:12,060 --> 03:05:17,340
that tutor, dean, or instructional aides in those areas.

2084
03:05:17,920 --> 03:05:25,020
I mean, right now, if the long-term eels are a huge number,

2085
03:05:25,260 --> 03:05:29,440
and those are the students that we want to see at, you know,

2086
03:05:29,720 --> 03:05:33,900
the community colleges, universities, math is always a challenge.

2087
03:05:34,160 --> 03:05:38,180
And with the current changes happening at the community college level,

2088
03:05:38,180 --> 03:05:40,820
with the issue of AB 705 and so forth.

2089
03:05:40,980 --> 03:05:44,960
I'm very concerned that what we provide

2090
03:05:44,960 --> 03:05:48,180
within the classroom setting, the support to the teacher,

2091
03:05:48,880 --> 03:05:50,660
of course, in meeting the needs of the student,

2092
03:05:50,900 --> 03:05:52,620
what is the game plan for that?

2093
03:05:53,160 --> 03:05:55,020
With real specific things,

2094
03:05:55,240 --> 03:05:57,980
because I think that that's gonna make a huge difference

2095
03:05:57,980 --> 03:06:00,180
in developing that foundation.

2096
03:06:02,000 --> 03:06:05,560
We heard about STEM and the students achievement today

2097
03:06:05,560 --> 03:06:08,040
during the recognition, but the three areas

2098
03:06:08,040 --> 03:06:10,760
Is it science, math, and social studies, right?

2099
03:06:11,420 --> 03:06:13,880
And language, it's about language, right?

2100
03:06:14,500 --> 03:06:16,720
So all of those things I would like to hear

2101
03:06:16,720 --> 03:06:19,660
as just one board member, what are those specific things

2102
03:06:19,660 --> 03:06:22,560
that the teachers themselves are saying?

2103
03:06:22,680 --> 03:06:23,420
This is what I need.

2104
03:06:24,020 --> 03:06:25,920
I understand professional development, I get that.

2105
03:06:26,420 --> 03:06:30,080
But at the end of the day, the teacher's still alone

2106
03:06:30,080 --> 03:06:32,060
with those students in the classroom teaching

2107
03:06:32,060 --> 03:06:35,080
and how can we support the student as well as the teacher.

2108
03:06:35,080 --> 03:06:42,900
But staff development needs to be specific, and it needs to be very explicit to that teacher.

2109
03:06:43,460 --> 03:06:44,940
And so I think that's where we're headed.

2110
03:06:45,180 --> 03:06:52,060
I'd like to see us go in that direction, where we can support that math group, that social science group,

2111
03:06:52,360 --> 03:06:58,660
and that science group with the specific instructional practices that will guide them,

2112
03:06:58,920 --> 03:07:02,840
because the best resource a child can have is a well prepared teacher.

2113
03:07:02,840 --> 03:07:16,440
And so with that, I strongly believe that once you help our teachers, support our teachers, and give them that toolbox, they'll be able to figure out what it is.

2114
03:07:17,100 --> 03:07:21,480
Assessment, continuous assessment, and understand what that means.

2115
03:07:22,080 --> 03:07:24,400
Understand what scaffolding means.

2116
03:07:24,400 --> 03:07:27,760
It's not just putting up a picture and saying, this is what it is.

2117
03:07:28,160 --> 03:07:32,560
It's explaining the pictures, talking about the picture, it's having that reading

2118
03:07:33,100 --> 03:07:37,880
every single day, that explicit reading and comprehension reading, because it's not

2119
03:07:37,880 --> 03:07:42,940
just reading, I'm an English language learner, and I still sometimes have to think,

2120
03:07:43,300 --> 03:07:46,660
I need to process it, and so I think that's the other thing.

2121
03:07:46,760 --> 03:07:50,080
It's just giving the teachers the tools they need in order to understand.

2122
03:07:50,080 --> 03:07:55,900
long-term English language learners, their specific needs, and our ELs.

2123
03:07:56,160 --> 03:08:02,400
As a matter of fact, federal program monitoring said, your kids are doing great in the ELD.

2124
03:08:02,800 --> 03:08:03,600
They're doing fine.

2125
03:08:04,360 --> 03:08:07,320
It's what's happening, it's what's not happening in the mainstream.

2126
03:08:08,560 --> 03:08:09,340
Thank you.

2127
03:08:10,040 --> 03:08:11,620
Trustee Schott, you had a question too.

2128
03:08:11,700 --> 03:08:13,920
Oh, I just wanted to finish up with that.

2129
03:08:14,280 --> 03:08:19,140
And then also part of it is in lesson study, we want to have language objectives.

2130
03:08:19,140 --> 03:08:25,940
So that we're going to have to train the teachers on what is the language objective, how to write it, how to assess it.

2131
03:08:26,020 --> 03:08:28,860
So that's going to be part of the lesson study.

2132
03:08:34,580 --> 03:08:42,500
So with regard to our long-term English learners and their struggle to achieve,

2133
03:08:43,220 --> 03:08:47,380
is mental health supported in that way as well?

2134
03:08:47,680 --> 03:08:52,180
I mean, it's not just what happens in the classroom because when a student is receiving multiple Ds and Fs,

2135
03:08:52,180 --> 03:08:57,480
their mental health is impaired as well, and so what about that?

2136
03:08:58,920 --> 03:09:05,400
So one of the things we appreciate your support on as trustees, our student intervention specialists.

2137
03:09:05,700 --> 03:09:11,580
And what we're trying to, and we're bringing a report to you on that program in one of our main board meetings.

2138
03:09:11,780 --> 03:09:16,500
But what we've talked about around that table is sort of our scope of practice for

2139
03:09:16,500 --> 03:09:21,940
our student intervention specialists and how we can serve to balance that mental health

2140
03:09:21,940 --> 03:09:27,180
need because poverty creates mental health issues for our students hunger homelessness.

2141
03:09:27,580 --> 03:09:30,840
There's things that the kids bring to the table that we're trying to support and address

2142
03:09:31,460 --> 03:09:34,140
in our English learner population but across our system.

2143
03:09:34,500 --> 03:09:42,980
And so we think that the tier one of our MTSS is first best instruction what's happening in

2144
03:09:42,980 --> 03:09:49,720
in the classroom, so the question are asking ourselves around mental health is what strategies

2145
03:09:49,720 --> 03:09:54,480
can we use successfully during a class that support a student's positive outlook?

2146
03:09:54,660 --> 03:09:58,980
So when we're talking about being asset-based, if we never ask students what they bring

2147
03:09:58,980 --> 03:10:04,720
to the table, they may think less of themselves simply because we have an ask.

2148
03:10:04,920 --> 03:10:10,280
So some of it's potentially pretty simple in that how are we engaging students in what

2149
03:10:10,280 --> 03:10:17,420
that they already know, as just a starting place for saying you are an asset to you, to your community, to us, not a deficit.

2150
03:10:17,760 --> 03:10:22,780
And so that's one place to start instructionally, and I think in tier two when we're outside the classroom,

2151
03:10:23,120 --> 03:10:29,580
we're trying to create that scope of practice for our student intervention specialists across the system they can reach kids.

2152
03:10:30,260 --> 03:10:34,920
I'd also like to add, listening to Dr. Nogera, it was just wonderful to hear him.

2153
03:10:35,300 --> 03:10:37,100
We need to know who our students are.

2154
03:10:37,100 --> 03:10:40,560
We need to know them in the classroom.

2155
03:10:40,800 --> 03:10:43,960
We need to know them as if possible outside the classroom.

2156
03:10:44,540 --> 03:10:48,680
But that's the first step in how to help our students,

2157
03:10:49,120 --> 03:10:52,380
is knowing who our students are, and able to reach them,

2158
03:10:52,520 --> 03:10:55,120
and see them, not just hear them, but see them.

2159
03:10:55,680 --> 03:10:56,080
Classize.

2160
03:10:57,140 --> 03:11:00,740
And then part two, I'll put my other hat on.

2161
03:11:01,180 --> 03:11:06,240
As overseeing Title I, I've seen a lot of requisitions go

2162
03:11:06,240 --> 03:11:20,540
through to support our students that are EL's and long term English learners through additional funds to hire outside agencies to run groups for them for different reasons.

2163
03:11:21,160 --> 03:11:22,760
So you do that or you've heard of it?

2164
03:11:22,880 --> 03:11:24,500
No, we do do that.

2165
03:11:24,740 --> 03:11:25,520
I just want to clarify.

2166
03:11:32,790 --> 03:11:33,990
Just a thought or two.

2167
03:11:35,970 --> 03:11:39,590
Many of us have been on the board for a long time and in other capacities in the district.

2168
03:11:40,950 --> 03:11:51,410
some takeaways for me at least, we have the leadership, the alert, I get it right,

2169
03:11:52,270 --> 03:11:57,450
seems to be a structure that has potential, no reason to, it looks like it should be,

2170
03:11:58,190 --> 03:12:04,370
we monitor these students well, and with all due respect, we continue to have,

2171
03:12:04,510 --> 03:12:08,010
and maybe all school boards do. We know what the problems are.

2172
03:12:08,610 --> 03:12:11,430
We've identified the students, there are too many L-tells.

2173
03:12:11,930 --> 03:12:16,130
We may not use our title one money as effectively as we could because there's a high correlation

2174
03:12:16,130 --> 03:12:20,170
between these students and the federal programs as well.

2175
03:12:22,210 --> 03:12:23,830
We have a structure for assessment.

2176
03:12:24,590 --> 03:12:26,030
We can assess them to death.

2177
03:12:27,900 --> 03:12:29,140
Your slides are beautiful.

2178
03:12:30,060 --> 03:12:35,420
We would hope, at least I'll just speak for myself then, I would hope that at some point in time

2179
03:12:35,420 --> 03:12:42,680
we can have kind of a turning point where we can begin to see that these great ideas and they're all

2180
03:12:42,680 --> 03:12:48,140
educationally sound that they begin to pay off or they're not educationally sound and we have to

2181
03:12:48,140 --> 03:12:55,060
say those plans didn't work. I don't know how many master plans for English learners I have been

2182
03:12:55,060 --> 03:13:01,100
through in my life but a number of them and you as well. So I mean that with respect. We keep trying and

2183
03:13:01,100 --> 03:13:09,380
And we keep identifying and we keep assessing, but as Dr. McCoy brought out, the first level is that effective first time teaching.

2184
03:13:09,900 --> 03:13:12,880
We can have all the interventions in my way of thinking in place.

2185
03:13:13,740 --> 03:13:18,340
And I just think we've got to get into the classroom, be it class size, and

2186
03:13:18,340 --> 03:13:22,180
there's no one's silver bullet for this class size certainly has a barrier on it.

2187
03:13:23,000 --> 03:13:26,460
Professionally developed teachers who are sensitive to the needs of language.

2188
03:13:26,460 --> 03:13:28,480
We should learn, certainly, it's all of these.

2189
03:13:28,660 --> 03:13:31,180
So I just look forward to the time when you can bring us a report and say,

2190
03:13:31,580 --> 03:13:34,400
you know, this is working and we've turned in the corner.

2191
03:13:35,140 --> 03:13:36,640
This district hasn't turned in the corner.

2192
03:13:36,960 --> 03:13:41,500
I have heard there are too many L-tells in my six years on the board and

2193
03:13:41,500 --> 03:13:43,340
my 40 years in the district before that.

2194
03:13:44,980 --> 03:13:47,780
So we wish you well, we appreciate your good leadership.

2195
03:13:48,320 --> 03:13:53,040
But the report is well taken as far as the inputs and the enthusiasm.

2196
03:13:53,580 --> 03:13:55,980
And here's where we're going, and I'm just speaking for myself.

2197
03:13:56,300 --> 03:14:02,900
I'll look forward to the time when you can say, and here's some demonstration that these have paid off, because we haven't had that yet.

2198
03:14:03,600 --> 03:14:05,140
Okay, but thank you for the good work that you do.

2199
03:14:17,480 --> 03:14:19,920
Okay, we have another staff report on learning support services.

2200
03:14:20,160 --> 03:14:20,380
Yes.

2201
03:14:20,380 --> 03:14:21,400
Thank you very much.

2202
03:15:07,860 --> 03:15:09,080
Make the box bigger.

2203
03:15:22,590 --> 03:15:23,490
At least one of your bid.

2204
03:15:26,460 --> 03:15:51,840
President Davis and trustees and Superintendent De Leon and staff, we are thrilled tonight to present to you an overview of our learning support services department. And we have a number of staff here from the department who are going to be participating in the presentation. And we'd like to thank them for making it to the last report of the night. So thank you everybody for being here. And by our standards, we are like two hours early. So I'm very excited about this.

2205
03:15:52,580 --> 03:15:56,240
It is my pleasure to introduce our Director of Learning Support Services,

2206
03:15:56,560 --> 03:16:02,320
Reina Begerano, and then we will continue to provide information through this report.

2207
03:16:02,640 --> 03:16:03,080
Thank you, Reina.

2208
03:16:03,520 --> 03:16:03,940
Welcome.

2209
03:16:04,360 --> 03:16:04,700
Good to see you.

2210
03:16:05,980 --> 03:16:07,000
Good evening.

2211
03:16:08,300 --> 03:16:12,480
President Davis, trustees, superintendent De Leon, and staff.

2212
03:16:12,900 --> 03:16:14,080
My name is Reina Begerano.

2213
03:16:14,600 --> 03:16:18,940
I'm the Director of Learning Support Services, and I'm here tonight to present our set report.

2214
03:16:18,940 --> 03:16:19,880
Our

2215
03:16:22,090 --> 03:16:25,950
goal is to support the classroom first, always.

2216
03:16:26,630 --> 03:16:31,030
Teachers and students in the classroom before technology on a daily basis.

2217
03:16:31,850 --> 03:16:34,790
And you'll see that reflected in our mission and vision,

2218
03:16:37,360 --> 03:16:37,900
Dr. McCoy.

2219
03:16:40,290 --> 03:16:45,110
One of the things we wanted to present to trust these into the public is sort of how we got here.

2220
03:16:45,290 --> 03:16:52,830
So for the last three years, we've been working to overhaul the information technology data and assessment in the district.

2221
03:16:52,830 --> 03:16:56,490
And we added an educational technology department.

2222
03:16:56,890 --> 03:17:01,770
When we started, we sort of merged our old assessment and accountability department,

2223
03:17:01,810 --> 03:17:07,670
which has seen on Peach on this old organizational chart into learning support services,

2224
03:17:07,670 --> 03:17:13,550
which is designed around educational technology and driving not technology into the classroom,

2225
03:17:13,550 --> 03:17:16,490
but having the classroom drive the technological needs of the district.

2226
03:17:17,440 --> 03:17:21,690
You can see in purple the old information technology department.

2227
03:17:21,690 --> 03:17:51,670
And you can see in, for example, for a long time we had three people working in IT, we would know them as can Mike and Doug, and you would see there those positions are which you'll see in our next slide sort of transitioning into systems network and data coordinator positions in blue are those that were added in the last three years as part of the transition.

2228
03:17:51,670 --> 03:17:58,630
to learning support services, positions with green are modified and still with us, and positions

2229
03:17:58,630 --> 03:17:59,790
that are,

2230
03:18:02,430 --> 03:18:06,430
oh, positions with the red outline have been sunset from the district.

2231
03:18:12,730 --> 03:18:15,710
This is our new organizational chart, and in just a minute,

2232
03:18:15,850 --> 03:18:20,810
Reena's going to take us through the efficiencies and the themes that drive our work.

2233
03:18:21,370 --> 03:18:26,890
What we wanted to point out to you here is in our previous iteration, we're at 32 positions.

2234
03:18:27,650 --> 03:18:34,130
Now, these efficiencies, we have 27 positions total and what will be talking to you later

2235
03:18:34,130 --> 03:18:41,630
about the positions in dark blue are proposed coordinator of data systems and our proposed

2236
03:18:41,630 --> 03:18:44,930
desktop support technician level two.

2237
03:18:45,510 --> 03:18:48,710
Those two in dark blue would be, yes,

2238
03:18:52,430 --> 03:18:53,230
yes,

2239
03:18:55,400 --> 03:18:56,300
oh they didn't.

2240
03:19:12,270 --> 03:19:16,910
So in our new organizational chart, what we tried to show you and what you'll hear tonight

2241
03:19:16,910 --> 03:19:18,970
a lot about as we have a five-year plan.

2242
03:19:19,670 --> 03:19:23,890
We have a five-year total cost of ownership budget that we've been working on and

2243
03:19:23,890 --> 03:19:27,130
getting feedback and input from Mr. Weinstein and Ms. Thomas.

2244
03:19:27,910 --> 03:19:31,210
We have a five-year plan for rolling out one-to-one devices.

2245
03:19:31,550 --> 03:19:34,750
We'll talk to you about tonight, and this is our five-year staffing plan.

2246
03:19:35,110 --> 03:19:39,250
So, I know you've heard this from me before, but for the next five years,

2247
03:19:39,370 --> 03:19:44,130
this is the team in learning support services and there's no additional changes planned.

2248
03:19:44,130 --> 03:19:49,590
And the dark blue boxes, the proposed coordinator student data systems, and the desktop support

2249
03:19:49,590 --> 03:19:56,770
technician level two would be if approved, would be in budgeted for the 1920 school year.

2250
03:19:57,410 --> 03:20:01,190
In the green, you'll see a second desktop support technician level two.

2251
03:20:01,430 --> 03:20:03,530
That would be for the 2021 school year.

2252
03:20:09,440 --> 03:20:09,860
There you go.

2253
03:20:10,340 --> 03:20:16,740
And then you'll see in gold, another site desktop support technician that would support

2254
03:20:16,740 --> 03:20:30,660
New Oxnard area, high school number eight, in the 21-22 school year, the year prior to the new school opening, because we'll be starting to put technology in place and we'll assign a person.

2255
03:20:32,120 --> 03:20:35,220
Later tonight, you'll see a proposed job description for the coordinator.

2256
03:20:35,540 --> 03:20:41,460
We will bring to you a proposed job description for the desktop support technician level two in the May board meeting.

2257
03:20:42,420 --> 03:20:48,720
And then I was going to have Raina talk to us a little bit about the five areas of work in our department.

2258
03:20:55,170 --> 03:20:59,050
Most coordinator, I forgot. Is that a manager position or is that a?

2259
03:20:59,270 --> 03:21:00,510
Yes, Certificated Management.

2260
03:21:00,730 --> 03:21:01,130
Two, a management.

2261
03:21:01,590 --> 03:21:05,970
Okay. And what, Rainer, are you going to talk about these areas here?

2262
03:21:06,170 --> 03:21:06,250
Yes.

2263
03:21:06,370 --> 03:21:06,510
Okay.

2264
03:21:07,030 --> 03:21:07,270
I'll wait.

2265
03:21:07,590 --> 03:21:07,830
Thank you.

2266
03:21:08,370 --> 03:21:09,390
We'll talk about them right now.

2267
03:21:10,510 --> 03:21:15,990
So tonight you're going to hear about our five major areas of work from the folks who are outlined

2268
03:21:15,990 --> 03:21:18,610
in the org chart because they are the experts.

2269
03:21:19,610 --> 03:21:21,070
You'll hear from Taylor Lopez.

2270
03:21:21,370 --> 03:21:23,010
He's our web and multimedia coordinator,

2271
03:21:23,250 --> 03:21:24,630
and he's going to discuss communication.

2272
03:21:25,670 --> 03:21:27,970
Jay Sorenson and our teacher team

2273
03:21:27,970 --> 03:21:29,710
who are here this evening are going to discuss

2274
03:21:29,710 --> 03:21:32,030
educational technology, but more importantly,

2275
03:21:32,770 --> 03:21:34,830
they're going to talk to you about our technology advisory

2276
03:21:34,830 --> 03:21:37,870
committee and the impact that that has had on our classrooms.

2277
03:21:39,390 --> 03:21:43,650
Joanne Powers will share our systems of hardware and software.

2278
03:21:44,290 --> 03:21:52,970
I'm going to talk a little bit about network and the network administrator, and then Dr. McHoy will share information regarding data.

2279
03:22:04,920 --> 03:22:12,080
My name is Phil Otto Lopez. I'm born and raised in Oxnard for those that don't know me, and I'm a proud yellow jacket, and I'm the thank you.

2280
03:22:12,140 --> 03:22:19,320
Thank you. I'm the Web Multimedia Coordinator, and I oversee the district website and social media accounts.

2281
03:22:19,320 --> 03:22:24,300
My job is to communicate to students and parents and members of our community all the

2282
03:22:24,300 --> 03:22:27,800
great work that our students and teachers are doing, not just in the classroom but in

2283
03:22:27,800 --> 03:22:28,380
our community.

2284
03:22:29,320 --> 03:22:33,600
Along with that, I also help make sure that we keep a consistent message and brand across

2285
03:22:33,600 --> 03:22:38,000
the district through trainings and in the way that we share our stories on our social media

2286
03:22:38,000 --> 03:22:43,720
accounts, our website, on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and our newly added Snapchat and YouTube

2287
03:22:43,720 --> 03:22:44,080
channel.

2288
03:22:44,080 --> 03:22:52,760
And the last year with the help of the LSS team, we have gone from having a thousand followers to over 5,000 followers on our Twitter account alone.

2289
03:22:53,540 --> 03:22:59,220
Much of that has been contributed to the content creation we have started with the help from our directors and coordinators,

2290
03:22:59,760 --> 03:23:07,000
such as JSourcing's bi-weekly student voice chat and video content that covers events and programs such as the career expo,

2291
03:23:07,000 --> 03:23:10,020
the career and the career education showcase.

2292
03:23:10,720 --> 03:23:15,800
And also by providing video tutorials for parents on how to create their parent view accounts

2293
03:23:15,800 --> 03:23:18,860
and how to help them enroll their incoming ninth grade students.

2294
03:23:19,920 --> 03:23:24,800
For our website, we continuously take in feedback from users and how we can improve our website

2295
03:23:24,800 --> 03:23:29,820
and the content that we place on our website so they can easily navigate and access information

2296
03:23:29,820 --> 03:23:31,700
that our students and parents need.

2297
03:23:32,640 --> 03:23:44,180
So please don't forget to follow us at Oxford Union on any or all of our social media accounts to say updated on all the great things we're doing and we encourage you to please share your stories about the great work.

2298
03:23:44,640 --> 03:23:48,520
Our students and teachers are doing and please use a hashtag we are OUHSD.

2299
03:23:49,000 --> 03:23:50,880
Thank you. Thanks for what you do.

2300
03:23:50,880 --> 03:23:51,960
Another

2301
03:23:57,460 --> 03:24:01,280
form of communication we're using that we just started this year is parent

2302
03:24:01,280 --> 03:24:07,340
square. Parent square is unique in that it is a two-way communication tool.

2303
03:24:08,060 --> 03:24:12,080
So what that means is our parents, for example, if they want to report an absence,

2304
03:24:12,820 --> 03:24:18,740
they can actually talk to somebody in real time to report that student's absence

2305
03:24:18,740 --> 03:24:21,860
and actually get a reply from somebody, which is really nice.

2306
03:24:21,860 --> 03:24:28,160
We're using parent-square as a support of our LCAP goals.

2307
03:24:28,980 --> 03:24:34,780
We currently have about 97% of our parents that are reachable.

2308
03:24:35,360 --> 03:24:38,200
The other phone number, we send them texts and emails.

2309
03:24:39,300 --> 03:24:41,460
Our teachers have been utilizing parent-square.

2310
03:24:41,940 --> 03:24:43,460
Our office staffs have been using it.

2311
03:24:43,520 --> 03:24:45,080
Our administrators have been using it.

2312
03:24:45,440 --> 03:24:47,200
So it's just growing and growing.

2313
03:24:47,200 --> 03:24:56,100
we're continuing to offer professional development and support to all of our schools so that they can better learn how to utilize the parent-square tool.

2314
03:25:00,800 --> 03:25:05,380
Sure does, it translates to about 25 different languages I believe.

2315
03:25:05,660 --> 03:25:09,800
And Cape, we have it at Cape as well, it's been really nice to be included in that.

2316
03:25:09,960 --> 03:25:13,040
Yes, it's also actually helped with online enrollment.

2317
03:25:13,720 --> 03:25:20,220
So for example, for our feeder schools, we've been able to import the files that we received from the feeder schools,

2318
03:25:20,220 --> 03:25:24,080
because we have the parents' phone numbers, we can import it into parent square and then

2319
03:25:24,080 --> 03:25:28,200
reach those parents and encourage them to come out to the different parent nights, whether

2320
03:25:28,200 --> 03:25:32,920
they be at our schools or the feeder schools so that we can get those enrollments for

2321
03:25:32,920 --> 03:25:34,460
ninth grade, for incoming ninth graders.

2322
03:25:34,960 --> 03:25:35,600
So it's a great tool.

2323
03:25:38,960 --> 03:25:39,880
Okay, Joanne.

2324
03:25:43,850 --> 03:25:44,270
Hi.

2325
03:25:44,550 --> 03:25:44,990
Good evening.

2326
03:25:45,290 --> 03:25:45,430
Good evening.

2327
03:25:45,850 --> 03:25:50,970
My name is Joanne Powers and I am the Senior Assistance Administrator here at OUHSD.

2328
03:25:51,570 --> 03:25:55,290
What I do here is I oversee all the school site technicians.

2329
03:25:55,290 --> 03:25:59,910
I maintain all of our services on the back end like phones,

2330
03:26:00,530 --> 03:26:07,830
synergy, printers, and faxes, which is represented by these buildings on this slide.

2331
03:26:08,370 --> 03:26:13,570
I will also be working in tandem with our future network administrator to ensure

2332
03:26:13,570 --> 03:26:20,070
connectivity between all these services, which is represented by the roads and cars between these buildings.

2333
03:26:20,990 --> 03:26:24,230
As you know, modern technology is constantly changing.

2334
03:26:24,230 --> 03:26:31,990
You may remember a while ago where you plug in a phone into a phone jack and you pick up the phone and you get a dial tone and it's working.

2335
03:26:32,610 --> 03:26:38,810
Same with the dial up internet, you plug it into a jack, jump on AOL and you're on the internet.

2336
03:26:38,810 --> 03:26:39,370
Oh, yeah.

2337
03:26:42,030 --> 03:26:42,590
Here.

2338
03:26:43,390 --> 03:26:43,690
Shh.

2339
03:26:43,990 --> 03:26:44,170
Look.

2340
03:26:47,630 --> 03:26:50,090
These days, you would have to call a company.

2341
03:26:50,310 --> 03:26:54,970
They come out with a bunch of special equipment and then you would have to connect all your

2342
03:26:54,970 --> 03:27:01,510
devices to the special equipment, the router, your tablet, your phone, your smart TV, etc.

2343
03:27:02,470 --> 03:27:05,210
This also applies to the schools and classrooms.

2344
03:27:05,210 --> 03:27:14,950
PAs systems, alarms, and locks used to fall solely in the under maintenance and operations department,

2345
03:27:15,250 --> 03:27:20,330
but with advancement in technology and now falls in between IT and MOT.

2346
03:27:20,830 --> 03:27:24,710
We also have thousands of student and teacher devices.

2347
03:27:26,330 --> 03:27:31,250
All these devices are managed by our desktop support technicians who we have here today.

2348
03:27:39,750 --> 03:27:49,630
I'm trying to understand, so when a phone system goes down, who oversees that issue?

2349
03:27:50,090 --> 03:27:50,310
I would.

2350
03:27:50,750 --> 03:27:52,170
Okay. And you also fix it?

2351
03:27:52,650 --> 03:27:53,970
Yes, I would.

2352
03:27:54,250 --> 03:28:00,490
Okay. And when teachers in the classroom have problems with their computer and it's not working

2353
03:28:00,490 --> 03:28:07,470
and synergy is not working and the campus's parent view or student view or whatever is not working.

2354
03:28:08,450 --> 03:28:13,190
What is that the role of the administrator to do about those items?

2355
03:28:13,970 --> 03:28:18,910
To fix them or to actually when they were originally sought out to be purchased,

2356
03:28:19,370 --> 03:28:24,790
that the administrator make that decision about those particular items that were purchased

2357
03:28:24,790 --> 03:28:29,250
to be used and implemented at the school sites.

2358
03:28:29,250 --> 03:28:37,550
by its energy, for example, or the computers ever purchased by the teachers, I mean, the teachers use.

2359
03:28:39,030 --> 03:28:47,350
If those services were to go down, I would fix it, but I'm not understanding the context of that question.

2360
03:28:47,910 --> 03:28:56,270
Okay, so the purchasing of items, if it's a classroom item, that's now discussed at the District Technology Advisory Committee.

2361
03:28:56,270 --> 03:29:21,170
So we'll have some information in a slide that's coming up about how we now look at what types of devices and hardware to select that would be student devices, teacher devices, desktops, projection monitors that we call peripherals in terms of something like synergy, the student information system, if we were to consider changing it, we would start with the district technology advisory committee.

2362
03:29:21,170 --> 03:29:44,530
And then we would bring vendors in for demonstrations and we would go through sort of a request for proposal process where we would determine what products are best to serve the needs of the district so that the purchasing would be directed by the director of learning support and my office in conjunction with the district technology advisory team of teachers and staff.

2363
03:29:44,530 --> 03:29:51,530
Okay, so back to this question then, because I would assume that the senior systems administrator

2364
03:29:51,530 --> 03:29:54,850
would have a computer science background of that nature.

2365
03:29:54,850 --> 03:29:59,570
So, let's say this team decides to go with product X.

2366
03:30:00,560 --> 03:30:30,460
But the assistance administrator says, well, we don't have capacity for that, we don't have enough, I don't know, bandwidth, whatever it is that you need all this other stuff, okay? Whatever that might be, who makes the determination that that system, we don't have the capacity to be able to do this? And why I'm asking is we're going to a different building? And we're going to have a lot of different needs. And so I'm trying to understand what the role of each of these areas and who will do what and who will be responsible

2367
03:30:30,460 --> 03:30:32,600
It's important for the decision making on those things.

2368
03:30:32,980 --> 03:30:35,920
Yeah, so the best news we have is that we're all under one roof.

2369
03:30:36,540 --> 03:30:43,240
In the past, we would have had an IT lens and an educational lens on any of our services and products.

2370
03:30:43,940 --> 03:30:48,740
But our tech staff, Joanne and the site techs are in the district technology advisory meeting.

2371
03:30:49,440 --> 03:30:52,440
And so we try and make the answer, yes.

2372
03:30:52,980 --> 03:30:57,760
And so what'll happen now is that we would bring it to the technology advisory meeting.

2373
03:30:57,760 --> 03:31:00,720
And you'll hear a little bit about this process later from our teachers who are here.

2374
03:31:01,200 --> 03:31:03,200
But essentially, they would say, we want to try this.

2375
03:31:03,420 --> 03:31:10,120
Our systems folks would say, okay, I will research what it takes to drive this system.

2376
03:31:10,520 --> 03:31:12,900
And then they come back together with options.

2377
03:31:13,420 --> 03:31:14,940
And it may be, hey, we're good to go.

2378
03:31:15,140 --> 03:31:17,400
It may be, hey, we need to do this in order to make it work.

2379
03:31:17,860 --> 03:31:22,800
Or the systems folks, the network folks, the ed tech folks may suggest.

2380
03:31:23,020 --> 03:31:26,620
Well, here's a different, something similar that's more functional in our network.

2381
03:31:26,620 --> 03:31:34,000
So the most important part about this department is that, in the same house, we don't have opposing goals.

2382
03:31:34,240 --> 03:31:36,940
The goal is to support the classroom and teachers first and foremost.

2383
03:31:37,680 --> 03:31:44,060
And that means the system's folks researching what the possibilities are to try and meet the needs of the district.

2384
03:31:44,920 --> 03:31:46,080
But we'll hear more about it tonight.

2385
03:31:47,540 --> 03:31:48,260
Thank you.

2386
03:31:50,000 --> 03:31:50,680
Yes, Dr. Trill.

2387
03:31:51,420 --> 03:31:52,240
Oh, Joanne, sorry.

2388
03:31:52,620 --> 03:31:53,080
I have a question.

2389
03:31:54,040 --> 03:31:54,720
Sorry about that.

2390
03:31:55,260 --> 03:31:56,260
Very popular tonight.

2391
03:31:57,400 --> 03:31:59,460
First of all, does Dr. McCoy let you outside?

2392
03:31:59,720 --> 03:32:01,820
Or does he have you like in front of a computer all day long?

2393
03:32:02,340 --> 03:32:02,840
A little bit, both.

2394
03:32:03,420 --> 03:32:04,420
Okay, all right, good, good.

2395
03:32:05,180 --> 03:32:05,860
I have a question.

2396
03:32:06,020 --> 03:32:08,240
I, we have a map before tonight.

2397
03:32:08,420 --> 03:32:09,500
I work at Oxnard College.

2398
03:32:09,840 --> 03:32:12,140
It's just college about 7,500 students.

2399
03:32:12,560 --> 03:32:15,300
I've seen our technology area evolved

2400
03:32:15,300 --> 03:32:19,860
call from where we didn't have computers or email all the way to where we are today.

2401
03:32:20,700 --> 03:32:24,440
So can you put the work chart back up for your area?

2402
03:32:32,360 --> 03:32:39,640
So you have seven site texts that work for you, is that correct?

2403
03:32:40,160 --> 03:32:40,580
That's right.

2404
03:32:41,240 --> 03:32:45,240
So how I'm just curious because at the college that I work at,

2405
03:32:45,800 --> 03:32:50,760
we have four site texts for 7,500 students, we have hundreds of machines too.

2406
03:32:50,760 --> 03:32:54,140
But I think there's more here at each high school.

2407
03:32:54,720 --> 03:32:59,100
Are you even able to function with one site tech at each school?

2408
03:33:01,880 --> 03:33:03,320
I mean, you can be a front, I mean.

2409
03:33:04,320 --> 03:33:05,200
It's difficult.

2410
03:33:05,700 --> 03:33:12,180
It is very difficult because we, with the one-to-one deployments, each site tech, since

2411
03:33:12,180 --> 03:33:19,600
there's only one tech per school, we are struggling a little bit to be able to manage all these

2412
03:33:19,600 --> 03:33:20,080
devices.

2413
03:33:20,080 --> 03:33:21,680
Are you being nice?

2414
03:33:22,120 --> 03:33:22,440
Is that?

2415
03:33:22,960 --> 03:33:23,980
How you being nice?

2416
03:33:24,240 --> 03:33:43,080
I mean, it just seems I look at this org chart, it just seems to be very inadequate for the technology needs of our campus, because I know we're making a point tonight to support our teachers, but I know there's administrative networks too.

2417
03:33:43,080 --> 03:33:52,600
There's other users on campus that are in addition to the teachers that are probably just as many or more right they require a lot of your time.

2418
03:33:53,680 --> 03:34:08,520
What recommendations would you make as far as just your area goes to have adequate support for this massive expansion that we're going to do and just currently supporting our current environment.

2419
03:34:08,520 --> 03:34:09,240
Yeah,

2420
03:34:11,520 --> 03:34:13,460
I put you on the spot tonight.

2421
03:34:13,940 --> 03:34:24,340
I definitely believe we need additional staff, at least one or two more per school.

2422
03:34:28,790 --> 03:34:30,990
Can I get the opinion of-

2423
03:34:30,990 --> 03:34:32,950
You don't have to answer tonight.

2424
03:34:33,310 --> 03:34:36,010
I think I heard you to say that you think it's inadequate.

2425
03:34:36,630 --> 03:34:37,610
Is that okay?

2426
03:34:38,130 --> 03:34:38,290
Okay.

2427
03:34:38,410 --> 03:34:39,750
That's just my perception.

2428
03:34:39,990 --> 03:34:41,370
I've been on the board for six years.

2429
03:34:41,370 --> 03:34:48,310
I think the number one issue that teachers, staff, students talk to me about is technology.

2430
03:34:48,810 --> 03:34:56,470
The phones are down, the computers too slow, I can't get help, and then I look at this or chart, and I go, no wonder.

2431
03:34:57,330 --> 03:35:00,390
There's one person running around trying to help everyone.

2432
03:35:00,710 --> 03:35:01,450
That's right, that's right.

2433
03:35:01,610 --> 03:35:02,870
Okay, thank you.

2434
03:35:03,670 --> 03:35:03,930
Good

2435
03:35:14,780 --> 03:35:15,240
evening, board.

2436
03:35:15,960 --> 03:35:16,100
Good evening.

2437
03:35:17,000 --> 03:35:18,020
Members of the cabinet.

2438
03:35:19,860 --> 03:35:24,520
My name is Robert Greaves, I'm the Desktop Support Technician at Pacifica High School.

2439
03:35:24,780 --> 03:35:29,400
The Greaves family is well represented on the agenda to see me as just be an object observation of mine.

2440
03:35:30,360 --> 03:35:32,280
Yes, I hope I will do as well as they have.

2441
03:35:32,460 --> 03:35:33,340
Welcome, we're glad you're here.

2442
03:35:36,010 --> 03:35:42,790
Typical duties that I see too at the site include supporting teachers, staff, students,

2443
03:35:42,790 --> 03:35:47,110
as well as servicing laptops along with projectors,

2444
03:35:47,310 --> 03:35:50,150
document cameras, telephones, servers,

2445
03:35:50,530 --> 03:35:53,010
many new Apple and Google products,

2446
03:35:53,010 --> 03:35:55,330
and pretty much anything that connects to the network.

2447
03:35:56,790 --> 03:35:59,430
As a Monday, my seventh year at Pacifica,

2448
03:35:59,890 --> 03:36:01,770
I've helped evolve and grow the school

2449
03:36:02,330 --> 03:36:05,790
from several hundred computers to several thousand devices.

2450
03:36:06,410 --> 03:36:09,450
I've also helped other new and existing desktop support

2451
03:36:09,450 --> 03:36:14,450
technicians with questions and problems that may arise and it's really been a non-stop

2452
03:36:14,450 --> 03:36:23,110
task to keep everything online, but I'm on top of it, okay, we'll sit. And Pacifica's

2453
03:36:23,110 --> 03:36:29,630
next mission will be transitioning to our year 2020, one-to-one implementation. Pacifica's

2454
03:36:29,630 --> 03:36:35,230
direction towards this has already included nearly 1,200 Chromebooks since the spring of last

2455
03:36:35,230 --> 03:36:41,670
last year to begin a what I like to call Google familiarity and I'm excited to keep working

2456
03:36:41,670 --> 03:36:47,910
with learning support services on the future trainings and pedagogy to successfully move

2457
03:36:47,910 --> 03:36:48,330
us forward.

2458
03:36:49,790 --> 03:36:54,870
And I wanted to thank you and a few others for a few things tonight, one for letting us

2459
03:36:54,870 --> 03:36:56,830
come and speak, Monard, thank you.

2460
03:36:57,630 --> 03:37:03,630
And another for supporting our partnership with Oxnard College recently on providing our

2461
03:37:03,630 --> 03:37:09,770
internship program, which I think has been tremendously successful, again, in additional

2462
03:37:09,770 --> 03:37:16,110
help. And the ongoing trainings that you've allowed Raina to approve for us with Google,

2463
03:37:16,590 --> 03:37:21,990
Apple, and Windows environments. And also the ongoing professional development training

2464
03:37:21,990 --> 03:37:29,210
that coordinator, Jay Sorensen, has implemented very well with the teachers. We're able to build

2465
03:37:29,210 --> 03:37:34,250
build a nice, strong bridge with those teachers, I think, in delivering their new devices.

2466
03:37:34,730 --> 03:37:39,350
And just the turnaround in the classroom has been very positive and exciting.

2467
03:37:41,410 --> 03:37:42,830
And I'll further do.

2468
03:37:42,950 --> 03:37:46,050
I'll introduce you to a colleague of mine, Sonu.

2469
03:37:46,810 --> 03:37:49,610
Properly before you leave the podium, Dr. Hall, did you have a question for a more collaborative?

2470
03:37:50,330 --> 03:37:54,570
Sure, first of all, thank you and all of you for coming and staying so late tonight.

2471
03:37:54,850 --> 03:37:56,010
Yes, we really appreciate it.

2472
03:37:56,390 --> 03:38:00,570
Okay, so are you the sole site tech at Pacifica?

2473
03:38:00,850 --> 03:38:06,570
Yes, from the years past we did have extra help on a day or two.

2474
03:38:08,090 --> 03:38:14,910
However, we did, I believe, lose a few technicians, so we did have some sparse coverage for a while.

2475
03:38:15,290 --> 03:38:24,290
But like I said, the internship program has been very beneficial because if we're managing big projects or we've had some things in our mind

2476
03:38:24,290 --> 03:38:26,530
that we'd really like to get done for the teachers.

2477
03:38:27,490 --> 03:38:31,610
Just scheduling one of those interns through Juann has been great

2478
03:38:31,610 --> 03:38:34,670
because we can go tackle something with some additional help,

2479
03:38:34,970 --> 03:38:42,970
offer some training and teaching to that intern and just get something done

2480
03:38:42,970 --> 03:38:44,950
that needs to be done in the future regardless.

2481
03:38:45,390 --> 03:38:49,690
So it was a prime time for that transition to happen.

2482
03:38:50,030 --> 03:38:52,130
So I know they are fantastic.

2483
03:38:52,130 --> 03:38:55,550
I know the interns at Oxnard College, they're really enjoying and benefiting too.

2484
03:38:55,650 --> 03:38:57,430
It's a great partnership that we have.

2485
03:38:58,050 --> 03:38:58,790
I have a question.

2486
03:38:59,490 --> 03:39:04,030
So what happens, I guess you may be not the one to answer, but what happens when you're

2487
03:39:04,030 --> 03:39:07,270
sick or what happens when you take a day off on vacation?

2488
03:39:08,250 --> 03:39:14,630
What happens to the, obviously you're not there to know, but where is the support if someone's

2489
03:39:14,630 --> 03:39:14,870
gone?

2490
03:39:15,210 --> 03:39:16,390
Sorry, I didn't mean to put you on the spot.

2491
03:39:16,650 --> 03:39:16,810
I'm sorry.

2492
03:39:19,500 --> 03:39:41,620
So if I know upfront what I do is I send kind of an all call out to the team and say, you know, hey if Robert's going to be out on vacation, for example, he's going to be out these days, who's available that can kind of jump in, go over there and check on things or stay there for a few hours just to go through the ticketing system and make sure everything's, you know, kept up to speed and whatnot.

2493
03:39:41,620 --> 03:39:48,260
If it's something like he's sick and it's a last minute, usually what we do is we'll

2494
03:39:48,260 --> 03:39:51,520
just send somebody over there real quick to just check on things or we'll check in on

2495
03:39:51,520 --> 03:39:54,720
the school with the assistant principals or the principal.

2496
03:39:55,640 --> 03:40:00,720
Usually if it's something urgent, somebody will text me and let me know that we need somebody

2497
03:40:00,720 --> 03:40:03,960
pretty quickly and then we rally in and we get somebody over there.

2498
03:40:04,240 --> 03:40:10,000
So we always have somebody, somebody always volunteers, we have a very close-knit strong

2499
03:40:10,000 --> 03:40:14,080
team, and they're always willing to jump in and help one another, so that's

2500
03:40:14,080 --> 03:40:21,000
typically what we do. So how would you assess that? Do you think it works? Yes, it

2501
03:40:21,000 --> 03:40:25,700
works. I mean, as Joanne said, we do need more help. You know, the interns have

2502
03:40:25,700 --> 03:40:30,640
been great. We have eight interns, but they're only here for a short period of

2503
03:40:30,640 --> 03:40:34,820
time. They can only work so many hours per week. You know, they have other

2504
03:40:34,820 --> 03:40:40,840
commitments, et cetera, so they've been a tremendous help to us, but we still, you know,

2505
03:40:40,940 --> 03:40:44,960
Robert's got a school of what 3,200 students about.

2506
03:40:45,940 --> 03:40:54,480
So it's Robert and 3,200 students, hopefully less with high school, we're all dreaming.

2507
03:40:54,960 --> 03:41:03,240
So it's a large school, and it can be taxing, and sometimes they do need extra help, but

2508
03:41:03,240 --> 03:41:07,780
But I have to say that the team is very comfortable reaching out to one another.

2509
03:41:07,960 --> 03:41:11,740
We have what's called a Slack channel, I don't know if any of you are familiar with Slack.

2510
03:41:12,120 --> 03:41:16,480
But it's kind of our back channel where we can message one another and we're all on there.

2511
03:41:17,220 --> 03:41:20,960
And if somebody needs something, they do not hesitate to reach out and say, hey,

2512
03:41:21,100 --> 03:41:23,700
and you're a little bit of extra help, can someone come and help me.

2513
03:41:24,280 --> 03:41:25,340
But it is a struggle.

2514
03:41:25,820 --> 03:41:28,600
We do have a lot of students and teachers to support.

2515
03:41:28,600 --> 03:41:33,660
And as you said from the work chart, we do need that additional support, for sure.

2516
03:41:34,260 --> 03:41:39,220
But the interns are great, they're helping, and we just do the best we can with the resources we have.

2517
03:41:41,360 --> 03:41:41,780
Trustee Scher.

2518
03:41:42,220 --> 03:41:43,540
Thank you, thank you for this.

2519
03:41:43,900 --> 03:41:52,180
My question is about enlisting the support of students who would be really excited to be a part of that team.

2520
03:41:52,940 --> 03:41:57,440
And there's something, I mean, like at my school, we call it the mouse squad.

2521
03:41:57,440 --> 03:42:09,000
Yes, but is there a way for students to earn credit to participate in that to alleviate some of that stress and to also get some experience firsthand work experience.

2522
03:42:09,240 --> 03:42:20,380
The short answer is yes, we actually discussed that a bit last year and we've had some some discussions about it about implementing something like that.

2523
03:42:20,380 --> 03:42:30,020
The difficult part with that is students can't be directly under the desktop support technicians because they're not credential teachers.

2524
03:42:30,580 --> 03:42:37,660
So what we have to do is we have to find a credential teacher that will sort of oversee the project while they're kind of guiding the work.

2525
03:42:38,120 --> 03:42:47,680
So that's been a little bit of a challenge but we have discussed it, it has come up, several of the desktop support technicians are absolutely in favor of it.

2526
03:42:48,180 --> 03:42:57,440
So it's something we'd like to explore further, we just need to find maybe a teacher or somebody who would be able to oversee that type of program.

2527
03:42:57,740 --> 03:43:02,340
So it could be like their elective students are working with students to do that.

2528
03:43:02,540 --> 03:43:10,580
Yes. I would release just getting that going because I think a lot of students would jump on the chance to have that experience.

2529
03:43:10,580 --> 03:43:12,920
I agree. Absolutely. And they're so knowledgeable.

2530
03:43:13,640 --> 03:43:15,360
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

2531
03:43:15,600 --> 03:43:16,840
Yeah. Thank you. Great question.

2532
03:43:17,940 --> 03:43:18,860
Other questions?

2533
03:43:21,060 --> 03:43:21,480
Sonia?

2534
03:43:28,940 --> 03:43:32,780
Good evening. My name is Sonia. I'm the desktop support technician for

2535
03:43:32,780 --> 03:43:38,040
Rancho Campana High School. And I've been with the district for four years. I started at Rancho

2536
03:43:38,040 --> 03:43:44,360
Campana as a technician. And as one of the first schools in the district to implement the one-to-one

2537
03:43:44,360 --> 03:44:04,900
on program, managing these devices is the utmost priority when I'm at the school site, and I'm excited that we're launching this program district wide, and I will do my best to assist other technicians in successfully launching that program and getting that going at their school sites.

2538
03:44:04,900 --> 03:44:34,780
I, in addition to being at the school site, I assist Joanne with the administration of our G Suite and our Apple devices as far as administration goes on, like software and installing different things on there and then just want to thank everyone district leadership and the board for the continued growth and success of the LSS department.

2539
03:44:34,900 --> 03:44:35,680
Thank you.

2540
03:44:35,720 --> 03:44:36,660
Thank you for all that you do.

2541
03:44:45,050 --> 03:44:45,210
Okay.

2542
03:44:45,490 --> 03:44:50,170
So you heard a little bit about systems, now I'm going to talk a little bit about the network.

2543
03:44:56,010 --> 03:45:00,010
So the most important thing our network does is allow for students to...

2544
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:04,820
Students and teachers to interact with one another. It supports the classroom and it should

2545
03:45:04,820 --> 03:45:12,920
be robust. So, as I stated earlier, our teachers and students come first. Our network needs

2546
03:45:12,920 --> 03:45:19,380
to run fast, it needs to be efficient, and it must be reliable. Essentially, our network

2547
03:45:19,380 --> 03:45:26,540
needs to be like our lights. It's ubiquitous. You expect it to work. With the recent upgrade

2548
03:45:26,540 --> 03:45:30,600
of our wireless access points, you've probably noticed a little bit of a difference.

2549
03:45:31,600 --> 03:45:37,260
We are up about 99% of the time since we installed those wireless access points, so that

2550
03:45:37,260 --> 03:45:40,120
has been a tremendous help for our network.

2551
03:45:41,040 --> 03:45:46,980
Because there is someone behind the scenes, meaning a network administrator, they make sure

2552
03:45:46,980 --> 03:45:47,540
it works.

2553
03:45:48,840 --> 03:45:51,100
They ensure it doesn't go down because it's protected.

2554
03:45:52,240 --> 03:45:56,000
We're currently in the process of going through an HR process.

2555
03:45:56,440 --> 03:46:02,860
We have a candidate and we're hoping to bring a successful candidate to you on May 1st.

2556
03:46:03,040 --> 03:46:06,400
We've been searching for this, the right candidate for about six months.

2557
03:46:07,080 --> 03:46:10,540
And I think we've finally found the right person for the job.

2558
03:46:11,520 --> 03:46:12,680
Yes, yes.

2559
03:46:13,860 --> 03:46:18,080
Lastly, that network administrator ensures that our firewall is managed and

2560
03:46:18,080 --> 03:46:22,360
maintained in such a way that it protects us from hacks

2561
03:46:22,360 --> 03:46:26,800
that we hear in the media as well as our student data

2562
03:46:26,800 --> 03:46:27,420
getting out.

2563
03:46:28,220 --> 03:46:31,140
So network administrator really is really, really important

2564
03:46:31,140 --> 03:46:34,120
and we're hoping that we're going to have that person

2565
03:46:34,120 --> 03:46:34,540
real soon.

2566
03:46:39,520 --> 03:46:41,840
I have a question, just to go to the next slide.

2567
03:46:42,420 --> 03:46:46,680
So Reina, so how do you see the new person

2568
03:46:46,680 --> 03:46:50,520
if approved the senior network administrator

2569
03:46:50,520 --> 03:46:55,300
and the senior systems administrator be working to support one another.

2570
03:46:55,440 --> 03:46:59,420
I mean, what's the, what's going to be the process for that?

2571
03:47:00,020 --> 03:47:03,800
Because the teams are not eat on this work chart.

2572
03:47:04,580 --> 03:47:15,280
And it seems like one need, a school of 1,000 students versus a school that's 3,200 students.

2573
03:47:15,280 --> 03:47:23,380
You know, that the needs might be a little bit not equally the same in terms of the number of positions, but

2574
03:47:25,910 --> 03:47:39,030
Ms. Powers may have other particular needs that could be a little bit more, I guess, complex with all the other servers and things of that nature.

2575
03:47:39,030 --> 03:47:49,010
So are you referring to these two middle columns here where you have senior systems administrator with four people and then network administrator with several other people under you?

2576
03:47:49,110 --> 03:47:55,870
So essentially what happens is the systems administrator and the network administrator work in tandem, they work together.

2577
03:47:56,410 --> 03:48:01,730
So really both of those individuals are overseeing the entire group together.

2578
03:48:03,290 --> 03:48:05,630
So, Joanne handles the system side of things.

2579
03:48:05,630 --> 03:48:09,590
She described earlier kind of the building part of it, the structure.

2580
03:48:10,590 --> 03:48:15,670
The network administrator handles the connections and those connections that go in between those buildings.

2581
03:48:16,210 --> 03:48:17,510
So, they work hand in hand.

2582
03:48:17,730 --> 03:48:21,550
They work in tandem together to oversee both of those middle columns.

2583
03:48:23,390 --> 03:48:29,090
But the intention of going to, you know, more devices that each of the schools

2584
03:48:30,370 --> 03:48:33,770
and different type of equipment, and different type of things like that,

2585
03:48:34,530 --> 03:48:41,410
wouldn't the needs of the system administrator also be equally as great as the network administrator?

2586
03:48:41,750 --> 03:48:48,750
I'm just asking because I don't understand every particular role that each of these individuals play,

2587
03:48:49,150 --> 03:48:54,070
you know, the title, once this desktop support tech, the other one says the same thing.

2588
03:48:54,070 --> 03:48:59,970
I mean, what's the focus and what in the need to be there equally?

2589
03:49:01,690 --> 03:49:03,630
I'm not sure I'm just an administrator.

2590
03:49:04,210 --> 03:49:04,250
Okay.

2591
03:49:04,790 --> 03:49:16,230
So this org chart isn't linear in that the network administrator does not supervise those nine positions and the systems supervises those four.

2592
03:49:16,690 --> 03:49:21,570
They actually, there would be a line that, excuse me, goes down the center to all the boxes.

2593
03:49:21,570 --> 03:49:38,690
And so the systems administrator and the network administrator, as we were saying jointly supervise the entire tech team, and depending on the problem that's come up, the network administrator will work directly with a site tech to help solve network issue at the school.

2594
03:49:39,310 --> 03:49:46,130
The systems administrator could work directly with a site tech to help sell a hardware server or software issue at the school.

2595
03:49:46,130 --> 03:49:58,190
So once a problem is large in scope, what Reno is reverencing in their slack communication is everyone will come together around that particular problem to try and problem solve.

2596
03:49:58,410 --> 03:50:03,950
So what this means is that we have an expert in network and an expert in systems.

2597
03:50:04,430 --> 03:50:15,970
The site techs have the array of responsibility but then they have support from the network administrator and the systems administrator to problem solve things that are beyond their day to day.

2598
03:50:15,970 --> 03:50:20,430
And so their day-to-day is a lot of, for the site text, a lot of tickets from teachers around

2599
03:50:22,350 --> 03:50:24,930
things in the classroom that need to be addressed today.

2600
03:50:25,690 --> 03:50:30,090
And then the district, we also have four positions at the district office.

2601
03:50:30,310 --> 03:50:35,030
So when we were talking with Dr. Hall about if Robert is absent for a day.

2602
03:50:35,630 --> 03:50:40,050
Those are the four people who are based at the district and run the help desk that would go out and

2603
03:50:40,050 --> 03:50:50,390
to provide and be at that site and it really, again, the great part of this is there's not a separation of duties feeling among the team.

2604
03:50:50,710 --> 03:50:56,510
So the network administrator, the systems administrator, and the site techs will work together around problem solving.

2605
03:50:57,610 --> 03:51:03,910
Okay, I guess for me I'm timing a hard time understanding if we're trying to grow, we go to the new building.

2606
03:51:04,050 --> 03:51:07,850
We have just so much more stuff to be doing with devices and so forth.

2607
03:51:07,850 --> 03:51:17,290
that staffing both sides, the network side, the system side, to what the needs are of those areas.

2608
03:51:18,070 --> 03:51:19,890
I'm trying to understand that.

2609
03:51:20,050 --> 03:51:27,530
Right, the desktop tools that you see as proposed are supposed to now become that intermediate area as we scale up.

2610
03:51:27,750 --> 03:51:33,590
So when we bring back to you in a future board, meaning the desktop support technician level two,

2611
03:51:34,650 --> 03:51:49,590
We've visioned those folks as being regional support for the site techs in having sort of a skill set that is approaching the network administrator and the systems administrator sort of a right hand for both sides of the house.

2612
03:51:50,890 --> 03:51:58,590
Okay, what's the response time right now when a school site has an issue for the tech to get to all those tickets?

2613
03:51:58,590 --> 03:52:02,800
But we did 36 minutes.

2614
03:52:03,120 --> 03:52:03,920
We did do 36.

2615
03:52:04,020 --> 03:52:09,280
Yeah, so we had an issue at Camario in the first day of semester two that had to do with

2616
03:52:10,620 --> 03:52:13,760
Synergy not producing the student schedules and parent view.

2617
03:52:14,540 --> 03:52:20,480
And our ticket response time was 36 minutes from when Reyna got the text and

2618
03:52:20,480 --> 03:52:22,700
the help desk got the call, so we had the problem resolved.

2619
03:52:23,560 --> 03:52:28,560
And that involved the help desk, Joanne, Reyna and

2620
03:52:28,560 --> 03:52:31,560
the site tech and the school administrator all working together.

2621
03:52:31,920 --> 03:52:37,460
So what we do ask in an emergency situation is we're going to handle it right now, try

2622
03:52:37,460 --> 03:52:42,040
and solve it as quickly as we can, and then backfill our help desk with a ticket so we

2623
03:52:42,040 --> 03:52:42,880
can track our work.

2624
03:52:43,720 --> 03:52:50,180
But we do, is it every 48 hours we go through every ticket in the system and try and make

2625
03:52:50,180 --> 03:52:55,720
sure that anything that's outstanding after 48 hours, the systems administrator, and soon

2626
03:52:55,720 --> 03:53:00,240
the network administrator will contact the site tech to follow up. So we're really trying

2627
03:53:00,240 --> 03:53:08,780
to squeeze our timelines down. Yes, it's typically 24 hours or less. If it's a 48 hour turnaround,

2628
03:53:09,160 --> 03:53:15,960
typically what happens is it's a more involved issue where Joanne may need to get involved or network

2629
03:53:15,960 --> 03:53:21,180
might need to get involved and it's not as easy as fixing the issue and closing the ticket out.

2630
03:53:21,180 --> 03:53:32,440
But there's another layer level, but typically our desktop support technicians even Robert with 3,200 students is getting through his tickets in a day.

2631
03:53:33,040 --> 03:53:34,760
Usually has a one day turnaround.

2632
03:53:37,560 --> 03:53:39,160
I was

2633
03:53:43,290 --> 03:53:46,790
able to close in on a lot of work orders that I had pending before.

2634
03:53:47,090 --> 03:53:51,370
So again, that's a really positive boost to my workload.

2635
03:53:51,870 --> 03:53:56,770
There are heavier times than others, but right now we're standing pretty good.

2636
03:53:57,010 --> 03:54:01,810
We don't like anything to go past 24 hours unless it absolutely has to.

2637
03:54:02,230 --> 03:54:04,130
So our response time is fairly quick.

2638
03:54:04,570 --> 03:54:11,610
Dr. Hall, I mean, I think something, but if it's 24 hours, that's an entire day's work.

2639
03:54:11,910 --> 03:54:13,050
It depends on what it is.

2640
03:54:13,350 --> 03:54:14,290
It depends on what it is.

2641
03:54:14,290 --> 03:54:18,410
If it's something of a more urgent nature, what we've communicated with the school sites,

2642
03:54:18,410 --> 03:54:23,230
the principles and the assistant principles is to text me. And if it's something like what we

2643
03:54:23,230 --> 03:54:30,190
experienced in the 36 minute issue where we had an issue with student view, I got the text,

2644
03:54:30,330 --> 03:54:35,270
I was on the phone, we turned it around in 36 minutes. So if it's something of a more urgent

2645
03:54:35,270 --> 03:54:41,790
nature, everybody knows to text me and then we get on it and we take care of it as soon as we

2646
03:54:41,790 --> 03:54:45,930
possible again. So that's a much quicker turnaround.

2647
03:54:49,240 --> 03:54:50,600
What do you think about the

2648
03:54:50,600 --> 03:54:56,220
future when we go one to one? I mean your big question. 24-hour turnaround now

2649
03:54:56,220 --> 03:55:02,000
is not going to be 24-hour turnaround when we're one to one. So do you have an

2650
03:55:02,000 --> 03:55:07,300
idea for what might be needed? I mean this is your this is the proposal, right?

2651
03:55:07,420 --> 03:55:12,080
I mean you're bringing these jobs forward and so my question is about that.

2652
03:55:14,740 --> 03:55:20,880
I mean, just speaking for myself as a classroom teacher and one-to-one devices, technology

2653
03:55:20,880 --> 03:55:21,640
is great.

2654
03:55:21,920 --> 03:55:23,240
It's amazing until it's not.

2655
03:55:23,960 --> 03:55:28,640
And then you have no control of a classroom and you're backtracking and trying to fill.

2656
03:55:28,800 --> 03:55:29,940
I mean, it can be very complicated.

2657
03:55:30,260 --> 03:55:36,080
So especially when curriculum is embedded into the technology, when you don't have a textbook,

2658
03:55:36,200 --> 03:55:38,880
you have a device that has your textbook.

2659
03:55:39,440 --> 03:55:41,540
So my question is really about that.

2660
03:55:42,200 --> 03:55:47,320
So we do have a slide coming up around the one-to-one that we'll be able to answer some of that.

2661
03:55:48,260 --> 03:55:51,900
What I would do is reflect again on what Reno was talking about with our network.

2662
03:55:52,220 --> 03:55:59,760
So the network used to be, as we do end was saying, you know, you used to dial up and it was not a utility.

2663
03:55:59,980 --> 03:56:01,200
This network is a utility.

2664
03:56:01,380 --> 03:56:05,600
If the lights go out and the power goes out, it's the same thing as the network going out.

2665
03:56:06,200 --> 03:56:08,560
And so we've been really happy with our upgrade.

2666
03:56:08,560 --> 03:56:12,200
We upgraded our system from two gigs to five gigs of internet.

2667
03:56:12,440 --> 03:56:13,600
We're going to 10 in July.

2668
03:56:14,580 --> 03:56:19,460
Since we've upgraded the speed and upgraded the wireless access and

2669
03:56:19,460 --> 03:56:24,500
provided Joanne and Raina with a desktop system where they can see our entire network,

2670
03:56:24,880 --> 03:56:30,760
green light, yellow light, red light, knocking wood we haven't been down as a network.

2671
03:56:31,440 --> 03:56:33,740
And so that's that 99% efficiency.

2672
03:56:33,740 --> 03:56:40,780
So our goal is 100% efficiency, just like if the power goes out, we all want to go home.

2673
03:56:42,220 --> 03:56:45,540
The network goes out should be that rare of an event.

2674
03:56:45,880 --> 03:56:48,780
So in our system and our teachers will speak a little bit to this.

2675
03:56:49,280 --> 03:56:54,240
We've been improving the efficiency of this network so that that day-to-day question shouldn't

2676
03:56:54,240 --> 03:56:56,540
be asked by our teachers when we're running right.

2677
03:56:57,340 --> 03:56:58,200
It should just be there.

2678
03:56:58,340 --> 03:57:02,740
Like the powers on the lights work, the plugs work, the network works.

2679
03:57:02,740 --> 03:57:08,620
And we want to take it off the table as something that any teacher or student worries about.

2680
03:57:08,920 --> 03:57:11,560
And that's where we're headed with the increases in our system.

2681
03:57:12,280 --> 03:57:18,080
And then when we get to the one-to-one slide, we'll talk a little bit more about what we're projecting as we scale up.

2682
03:57:18,660 --> 03:57:19,160
Thank you.

2683
03:57:19,360 --> 03:57:20,820
Dr. Delaun, did you want to make a comment?

2684
03:57:21,260 --> 03:57:25,020
I'll wait until the one-to-one slide, but I have an idea what I would like to have happen.

2685
03:57:25,100 --> 03:57:25,200
Yes.

2686
03:57:25,820 --> 03:57:26,400
Go ahead, hit.

2687
03:57:27,020 --> 03:57:34,400
Okay, we have two slides on data, and again, you'll see an item later tonight about the

2688
03:57:34,400 --> 03:57:36,920
consideration for a coordinator of student-day systems.

2689
03:57:37,520 --> 03:57:44,240
We wanted to share with you this is the inputs into and out of our synergy system on a

2690
03:57:44,240 --> 03:57:47,140
day-to-day basis, or it's our student information system.

2691
03:57:48,000 --> 03:57:52,060
And it holds the records for 17,000 students across 10 schools.

2692
03:57:52,060 --> 03:57:57,640
It serves 857 teachers and administrators, and that includes seating charts, attendance

2693
03:57:57,640 --> 03:58:02,860
grade books, and then parent communication through, from teachers through student view

2694
03:58:02,860 --> 03:58:03,600
and parent view.

2695
03:58:04,000 --> 03:58:05,540
It also holds our master schedules.

2696
03:58:05,880 --> 03:58:08,280
It has a master scheduling feature that we use.

2697
03:58:08,280 --> 03:58:11,200
We don't use a separate program for master scheduling, we use synergy.

2698
03:58:12,100 --> 03:58:17,460
We're now doing online registration where we've learned over time that the more time someone

2699
03:58:17,460 --> 03:58:21,500
touches data, the worse the data becomes, so we've been trying to take all the data we

2700
03:58:21,500 --> 03:58:26,760
can and have less human interaction with it, so that it's a better data when we get to it.

2701
03:58:27,440 --> 03:58:34,740
And what's really been interesting in the last three years in particular, we've really

2702
03:58:34,740 --> 03:58:37,340
started to interact very heavily with CalPADs.

2703
03:58:37,380 --> 03:58:42,300
So CalPADs is the California longitudinal pupil data system and it's been around for a long

2704
03:58:42,300 --> 03:58:44,920
time for more than 10 years.

2705
03:58:45,260 --> 03:58:50,360
And originally it was designed so that you could track a student in writing who moved, would

2706
03:58:50,360 --> 03:58:58,220
We moved to Oxnard and have the same student record and we would just, the goal of the system when it was designed, you would pull that student out of CalPads and

2707
03:58:58,220 --> 03:59:02,800
redding, put them back in an Oxnard and there wouldn't be a second student information system at the district level.

2708
03:59:03,320 --> 03:59:16,700
That never came to pass and so our reporting to CalPads until the last two years was pretty minimal with the change to LCFF, supplemental concentration and now the state accountability dashboard.

2709
03:59:16,700 --> 03:59:24,680
We actually have, I got some notes from our data team, a minimum of 11 different uploads

2710
03:59:24,680 --> 03:59:29,120
that are on a timeline from our city and information system into CalPADs.

2711
03:59:29,700 --> 03:59:34,100
That impacts our, we have to upload human resources information on credentialing.

2712
03:59:34,360 --> 03:59:38,740
We upload fiscal information to verify supplemental and concentration counts.

2713
03:59:38,740 --> 03:59:48,580
We have to upload federal and state reports, we're finishing an office of civil rights report that's due every other year right now.

2714
03:59:49,690 --> 04:00:00,020
We also try to make sure that we're now reporting all our state assessment data into CalPAS, CASP, LPAC, all our advance placements.

2715
04:00:00,700 --> 04:00:29,280
There is no more paper, no more bubbles, everything is coming through our data systems. And the workload is increased probably four to six times. So, when Doug Campbell's last year was my first year back in the district in 15-16, Doug was handling every data request that we had. When Doug retired not only to take a fund of knowledge, but it sort of happened the same time that the increase in the need for CalPADs.

2716
04:00:31,100 --> 04:00:54,660
And so we originally replaced Doug with a database administrator, we soon found we needed a second database administrator, and now the complexity of the data is to the point, and especially with fiscal considerations, as you know we had to give back a million dollars two years ago, because we didn't have the data as clean as it could be when it came to reporting through Calvans for our supplemental concentration.

2717
04:00:54,660 --> 04:00:57,960
So, this has been an area of tremendous growth.

2718
04:00:58,380 --> 04:01:04,380
I really am thankful for our data team that's helping us out with the reporting.

2719
04:01:05,100 --> 04:01:09,660
And we've been also cleaning up and finding things we haven't been reporting accurately.

2720
04:01:09,940 --> 04:01:14,400
So, we expect to see another increase in our ATG simply by

2721
04:01:14,400 --> 04:01:19,260
we have with the help of Marion Ramos and Clara Galvez and a team of folks

2722
04:01:19,260 --> 04:01:25,920
And at services, we've been looking in the back end of synergy to make sure our courses are coded correctly.

2723
04:01:26,580 --> 04:01:30,800
And we've found that site to site because we used to handle that all at different sites.

2724
04:01:31,440 --> 04:01:36,200
Some courses were reporting differently at different sites for different students for the same class.

2725
04:01:36,820 --> 04:01:38,140
So we've been cleaning that up.

2726
04:01:38,220 --> 04:01:45,800
We revised our entire course catalog of 7,000 courses and cleaned it up so that the district has one centralized course catalog.

2727
04:01:45,800 --> 04:01:50,140
And it's been, it's been moving mountains with this team, and we're very thankful for them.

2728
04:01:50,340 --> 04:01:55,320
But we just wanted to let you know of the increase in workload that we've been experiencing in data.

2729
04:01:56,040 --> 04:01:57,820
And how we're trying to address it.

2730
04:02:02,260 --> 04:02:03,980
And then we're up to Jay.

2731
04:02:05,120 --> 04:02:05,840
Got a kid.

2732
04:02:08,240 --> 04:02:11,140
Good evening, I'm Jay Sonson, the EdTech coordinator.

2733
04:02:11,500 --> 04:02:15,640
So working primarily with training and professional development with teachers.

2734
04:02:16,580 --> 04:02:21,000
And one of the areas of focus in EdTech right now is our

2735
04:02:21,000 --> 04:02:26,500
Oxnard Union Express, a gamified professional development platform that we use

2736
04:02:26,500 --> 04:02:33,300
Aluto. The way it works is teachers go in and they complete activities in the

2737
04:02:33,300 --> 04:02:37,860
areas of professional learning networks, coaching and collaboration, digital

2738
04:02:37,860 --> 04:02:43,520
tools, productivity, digital citizenship, and pedagogy. They have a lot of choice

2739
04:02:43,520 --> 04:02:47,900
involved in the game. They go in and select the activity that they're going to do.

2740
04:02:48,740 --> 04:02:54,960
They go through some sort of tutorial or lesson on how to complete it, they submit their

2741
04:02:54,960 --> 04:03:00,040
evidence and then they get feedback either getting, earning their points in the game or

2742
04:03:00,040 --> 04:03:03,140
getting feedback on what they need to do to fix it and do it correctly.

2743
04:03:03,820 --> 04:03:10,220
We have over 500 players in the game right now that's teachers and some staff that are participating

2744
04:03:10,920 --> 04:03:15,700
that have completed over 10,000 activities and activity ranges and the beginning of the

2745
04:03:15,700 --> 04:03:21,780
game can be very quick 5-10-minute activity up to the last levels where they

2746
04:03:21,780 --> 04:03:29,040
could be completing something that takes hours or days or weeks. And so

2747
04:03:29,040 --> 04:03:32,280
unfortunately the teacher that was going to be here to talk about this is out

2748
04:03:32,280 --> 04:03:37,360
ill but fortunately we have two avid players in the game that are here with us

2749
04:03:37,360 --> 04:03:39,100
So I'm gonna have Allison Halkita.

2750
04:03:41,400 --> 04:03:42,380
Hello, board.

2751
04:03:42,600 --> 04:03:42,980
Welcome.

2752
04:03:44,520 --> 04:03:48,420
You didn't mention, I'm number one in the Ludo for the Districts.

2753
04:03:48,860 --> 04:03:52,520
Okay, so my favorite thing about,

2754
04:03:52,520 --> 04:03:53,860
I'd love to talk about a Ludo.

2755
04:03:54,080 --> 04:03:57,280
It is the best professional development I've ever participated in

2756
04:03:57,280 --> 04:04:00,360
because I do it on my own time.

2757
04:04:00,700 --> 04:04:02,240
I don't have to write subplans.

2758
04:04:02,820 --> 04:04:04,920
I get a pick and choose what I learn about.

2759
04:04:05,140 --> 04:04:07,920
It has made me absolutely fearless as a teacher

2760
04:04:07,920 --> 04:04:11,480
and by proxy has made my students fearless when it comes to technology.

2761
04:04:12,280 --> 04:04:16,040
My juniors especially, I don't even have to teach them a new program, we just do growth

2762
04:04:16,040 --> 04:04:16,480
mindset.

2763
04:04:17,020 --> 04:04:18,900
I give them a link and say figure it out.

2764
04:04:19,500 --> 04:04:23,180
And that's really kind of what technology is all about when you're an adult anyway.

2765
04:04:23,800 --> 04:04:28,220
But my favorite part of this is the sense of camaraderie it has created in our district.

2766
04:04:28,920 --> 04:04:32,700
I get approached on Twitter, random people, email me.

2767
04:04:32,700 --> 04:04:40,340
We have this really great network of support, and it's really not competition, it's community.

2768
04:04:41,840 --> 04:04:42,460
Thank you.

2769
04:04:45,420 --> 04:04:47,640
I did forget to mention that the whole thing is volunteer.

2770
04:04:47,900 --> 04:04:50,820
So these are teachers completing all this professional development on their own time.

2771
04:04:54,000 --> 04:04:59,740
So the next thing I'm going to talk about that you've heard mentioned earlier is our district technology advisory committee, the TAC.

2772
04:05:00,360 --> 04:05:03,080
We meet once a month, it's open to everyone.

2773
04:05:03,080 --> 04:05:19,560
So we have not only teachers, but classified staff, IT, administrators from the sites, all are welcome and it's an opportunity for them to come in and have their voices heard and have some say and give input on the decisions that are made as it's related to technology.

2774
04:05:20,420 --> 04:05:25,180
So this includes things like the digital tools that we're going to pilot or have in our district.

2775
04:05:26,600 --> 04:05:32,460
what devices that we want students to have, and access to as we move to go one-to-one,

2776
04:05:32,960 --> 04:05:36,540
and the instructional tools that we have in our classroom.

2777
04:05:36,840 --> 04:05:40,840
So to talk about attack experience once again, it's all a thing.

2778
04:05:43,930 --> 04:05:47,010
I just want to thank Jay and Raina for putting this committee together,

2779
04:05:47,130 --> 04:05:52,090
because this committee has done so much to transform technology in our district

2780
04:05:54,370 --> 04:06:16,870
last year when this committee kind of started, it really gave me a voice and last year I was lucky enough to pilot a program called No Red Ink that I was very passionate about and Jay saw me using the free version of my classroom and he put together an awesome pilot for us and because of our passion for it.

2781
04:06:16,870 --> 04:06:32,370
It was approved to purchase this year for our district, all the English teachers and it's an amazing grammar and writing program and it also does test prep, which supports our PSAT and SAT kind of initiative.

2782
04:06:32,370 --> 04:06:56,510
My juniors have been using no writing all year, and they just took the SAT on March 6th and 76% of my juniors scores rose from PSAT to SAT with a third of them jumping more than a hundred points with some because of this program because you guys gave me a voice.

2783
04:06:56,510 --> 04:07:01,490
I was able to ask for a program that I loved and you helped purchase it.

2784
04:07:01,590 --> 04:07:07,230
And because of this, our kids are doing amazing things that would not happen without this technology advisory committee.

2785
04:07:07,470 --> 04:07:14,290
So thank you for letting us meet and talk tech stuff and for letting us pilot and buy things for us.

2786
04:07:14,790 --> 04:07:15,530
Thank you.

2787
04:07:18,150 --> 04:07:25,550
So we're in the process right now collecting input from teachers to look forward to what we're going to potentially pilot next year.

2788
04:07:26,090 --> 04:07:29,090
Also, I'm getting back in the habit of then recording these,

2789
04:07:29,630 --> 04:07:34,170
sending out the presentations recorded in a screencast uploaded to YouTube and send that out.

2790
04:07:34,390 --> 04:07:39,930
So, even those that aren't in attendance there still have the opportunity to hear what took place and give their opinion.

2791
04:07:40,470 --> 04:07:44,390
And we got over 75 views, so that's 75 more people that were involved in the process.

2792
04:07:58,470 --> 04:08:05,310
So, the one-to-one rollout coming up, so as Jay described, we're going to describe.

2793
04:08:05,990 --> 04:08:12,370
So first and foremost, we have the inquiry and engagement training because the teaching

2794
04:08:12,370 --> 04:08:13,690
has to come before the tech.

2795
04:08:14,850 --> 04:08:17,110
We want to make sure that our teachers are supported.

2796
04:08:17,330 --> 04:08:21,910
We want to make sure that they have what they need in order to support students before

2797
04:08:21,910 --> 04:08:23,250
rolling these devices out.

2798
04:08:24,430 --> 04:08:28,690
We're going to be rolling out devices at Channel Islands High School, Wyoming High School,

2799
04:08:28,910 --> 04:08:33,250
Frontier High School, and Condor for the 1920 school year.

2800
04:08:34,750 --> 04:08:50,550
Dr. McCoy referred to a five-year plan a little earlier in the presentation, and essentially, we've got these four schools that are going to go one-to-one next year, and then the following year, the rest of them will follow.

2801
04:08:50,710 --> 04:08:56,670
So that will be Pacifica High School, Oxnard High School, Adolfo Camero High School, and Rio Mesa High School.

2802
04:08:56,670 --> 04:09:03,750
I've been working with the desktop support technicians to gather and

2803
04:09:03,750 --> 04:09:07,830
accurate and complete inventory of everything we have.

2804
04:09:08,250 --> 04:09:10,130
So when I say everything, I mean everything,

2805
04:09:10,430 --> 04:09:15,150
desktops, devices, phones, peripherals, assistive technology,

2806
04:09:15,450 --> 04:09:19,750
pretty much anything you can think of as far as what we have in our

2807
04:09:19,750 --> 04:09:21,010
classrooms and in our schools.

2808
04:09:21,010 --> 04:09:33,690
And from that inventory, we've been able to see how old it is, how long we've had it actually found one device that was from 2001 that is still somehow operational.

2809
04:09:34,870 --> 04:09:45,530
And we're in the process. There you go. And so we're in the process of decommissioning anything older than 2015.

2810
04:09:47,330 --> 04:10:00,130
14 or 15. So, quite a few devices and desktops and projectors and other things that are old and need to be

2811
04:10:00,130 --> 04:10:06,090
decommissioned, which is helping us with our total cost of ownership five-year plan that we've

2812
04:10:06,090 --> 04:10:11,550
developed. This is allowing us to determine what is it that we need, what how many new devices,

2813
04:10:14,970 --> 04:10:15,150
what

2814
04:10:15,150 --> 04:10:18,490
How many devices are we going to need for the one-to-one schools, et cetera?

2815
04:10:19,030 --> 04:10:24,030
We're also working on the distribution, what the charging will look like, the storage,

2816
04:10:24,570 --> 04:10:30,270
you know, like for example, for PE, how will we store them, as well as hotspots.

2817
04:10:30,570 --> 04:10:33,550
So many of our students don't have Internet access at home.

2818
04:10:34,030 --> 04:10:40,130
So we're looking at purchasing hotspots for those students so that they have their Internet,

2819
04:10:40,550 --> 04:10:41,470
they can take it anywhere.

2820
04:10:41,470 --> 04:10:47,250
We're also looking at a program called Gogardian, which will help us with the content filtering.

2821
04:10:47,710 --> 04:10:55,430
So whether they have that hotspot at home or Starbucks or wherever, it's still going to be filtered with our filtering.

2822
04:10:55,630 --> 04:11:02,130
We set it up, we determine the groups, we determine what they see and what they don't see, whether they're on campus or off.

2823
04:11:02,810 --> 04:11:04,790
Cases are also part of that equation.

2824
04:11:04,790 --> 04:11:10,270
And then the ongoing training which Jay will continue on the next slide.

2825
04:11:10,470 --> 04:11:15,650
That training will continue next school year with Pacifica Oxnard, Ramaysa, and

2826
04:11:15,650 --> 04:11:18,690
Camrya, they'll start the inquiry and engagement training with those teachers.

2827
04:11:26,990 --> 04:11:31,090
All right, so then involved in doing the inquiry and engagement training for

2828
04:11:31,090 --> 04:11:32,950
our schools that are going one-to-one next year.

2829
04:11:33,290 --> 04:11:39,550
And we really wanted to have them prepared for when these devices show up in students' hands for next year.

2830
04:11:40,690 --> 04:11:44,410
We have been using this T3 framework.

2831
04:11:44,590 --> 04:11:54,710
This comes from Dr. Sonny Magganya, who was our keynote speaker on the March 18th professional development day, which we had board members share here in attendance.

2832
04:11:55,250 --> 04:12:00,310
And so we've been using this framework partially.

2833
04:12:01,090 --> 04:12:07,730
Well, explain the framework in a second, but a statistic that he uses along with this is basically that

2834
04:12:07,730 --> 04:12:13,970
But technology in the classroom over the last 50 years has not had a huge impact on student achievement.

2835
04:12:14,610 --> 04:12:16,170
And so we're sort of looking at that.

2836
04:12:16,290 --> 04:12:22,110
Well, why is that we're taking this as an opportunity for teachers to don't just take the

2837
04:12:22,110 --> 04:12:26,590
devices and do exactly what you've been doing, but this is an opportunity to do something different to do more with it.

2838
04:12:27,090 --> 04:12:33,930
So using this T3 framework, the T1 levels where students are just using the technology for automation and consumption.

2839
04:12:33,930 --> 04:12:38,310
So they're just kind of using these programs, which are great and efficient, can be very helpful.

2840
04:12:39,010 --> 04:12:44,490
But that's not the ultimate goal moving on to T2, which is where we're focusing a lot of our efforts right now.

2841
04:12:45,010 --> 04:12:50,510
As we're students are sort of shifting from becoming passive consumers to active producers.

2842
04:12:50,590 --> 04:12:56,690
So students are producing things and adding to the overall contributing to the overall learning of the class.

2843
04:12:56,690 --> 04:13:03,270
and then looking forward moving more towards inquiry so students are doing

2844
04:13:03,270 --> 04:13:07,050
inquiry projects with social entrepreneurship, making connections, real-world

2845
04:13:07,050 --> 04:13:12,370
connections in projects that they do. So speaking to this is a Channel Island

2846
04:13:12,370 --> 04:13:14,490
teacher who's been involved Heather Malway.

2847
04:13:17,640 --> 04:13:19,180
Thank you very much. I have the

2848
04:13:19,180 --> 04:13:26,040
distinct pleasure of addressing you twice. Okay, I wrote notes because I wanted to

2849
04:13:26,040 --> 04:13:27,640
I wasn't going to forget anything.

2850
04:13:30,060 --> 04:13:35,540
I started off with a ludo, and that was the thing that kind of hooked me into the idea

2851
04:13:35,540 --> 04:13:42,460
of using technology in a more productive and contribution way.

2852
04:13:44,520 --> 04:13:50,340
I do teach a class, an I-lit class, which is on computers that have been teaching it for

2853
04:13:50,340 --> 04:13:58,700
about three or four years and there isn't a whole lot of, you know, excitement about it.

2854
04:13:58,920 --> 04:14:08,200
So when Alito came along, I was very excited to participate because I like free. And some

2855
04:14:08,200 --> 04:14:18,280
of the incentives that were offered were a free iPad, a free trip, and a free, basically

2856
04:14:18,280 --> 04:14:21,840
a free computer on wheels, complete with computers.

2857
04:14:22,800 --> 04:14:26,500
And so I started with a very selfish intent.

2858
04:14:28,040 --> 04:14:33,020
And as I went along, I realized, hey, I'm getting pretty good at this.

2859
04:14:33,860 --> 04:14:36,360
And it was something that I became more comfortable doing.

2860
04:14:36,640 --> 04:14:41,240
I never had a computer growing up, I didn't have a cell phone growing up, I'm 41 years old.

2861
04:14:41,240 --> 04:14:51,820
And it's hard to think about teaching special education students different software or different, you know, just any technology.

2862
04:14:52,560 --> 04:14:59,920
So there was another option through inquiry and engagement to get a Chromebook. Super exciting.

2863
04:15:00,460 --> 04:15:25,100
So one of the things that I did was I attended the first inquiry and engagement. I was really out of my comfort zone. I wasn't doing, I was in the beginning parts of the Ludo, okay. So I was out of my comfort zone because I was basically one of the only special education teachers in the room at the time. And I was like, what did I get myself into?

2864
04:15:27,220 --> 04:15:28,880
Fast forward, I'm at now.

2865
04:15:30,520 --> 04:15:41,300
four sessions in and even though I've been a special educator for six years, I've only recently brought inquiry into my class.

2866
04:15:42,200 --> 04:15:53,180
And that's actually really quite a shame that it took that long for me to realize that those kids could do just as much if not more than the other students on campus.

2867
04:15:54,980 --> 04:15:59,260
This inquiry process has led to outcomes I've never thought were possible.

2868
04:16:00,080 --> 04:16:07,400
Some questions I have never asked, some problem solving that has been really engaging in fun.

2869
04:16:09,900 --> 04:16:14,640
It's led to collaboration and critical thinking at an evaluative level.

2870
04:16:15,500 --> 04:16:17,780
And again, this is with special education students.

2871
04:16:18,860 --> 04:16:21,940
Their questions have led us to discussions of terminal velocity.

2872
04:16:21,940 --> 04:16:26,560
So we've had a complete physics lesson,

2873
04:16:27,520 --> 04:16:32,080
gender inequities, and the digestive systems of dogs.

2874
04:16:33,440 --> 04:16:37,640
The strategies that I have learned in I&E has totally changed my students

2875
04:16:37,640 --> 04:16:39,560
and the manner in which they think.

2876
04:16:40,840 --> 04:16:44,480
But I think it transformed me more.

2877
04:16:44,760 --> 04:16:49,760
And I think the value of being in this district over the past three years and

2878
04:16:49,760 --> 04:16:58,520
having both eludo and crane engagement and those opportunities will change me forever.

2879
04:16:59,480 --> 04:17:05,080
And therefore, I hope that I can continue to have really high expectations of my students.

2880
04:17:05,340 --> 04:17:07,420
I really hope that they can be engaged.

2881
04:17:08,140 --> 04:17:11,100
I hope that we can solve problems.

2882
04:17:12,060 --> 04:17:17,900
I want them to be able to ask the critical questions that are going to lead to the future

2883
04:17:18,440 --> 04:17:28,060
you know problem solving, critical thinking solutions that the world needs. I just I do I don't

2884
04:17:28,060 --> 04:17:34,580
know how many times I've actually said this to Jay this entire thing has changed my life and I

2885
04:17:34,580 --> 04:17:40,860
don't think I've ever had more fun teaching. This year has been amazing. I've had certainly I've had my

2886
04:17:42,060 --> 04:17:48,220
ups and downs. But it has reinvigorated me to a point where I am a completely different

2887
04:17:48,220 --> 04:17:55,240
teacher now. And I would highly encourage everyone to participate. I can't wait to get

2888
04:17:55,240 --> 04:18:01,780
some of my other colleagues in to do that. I would like to bring some colleagues in to

2889
04:18:01,780 --> 04:18:05,520
see some of the things that I'm doing and some of the things that my kids are doing because

2890
04:18:05,520 --> 04:18:07,400
is that's the most exciting thing for me.

2891
04:18:08,940 --> 04:18:09,860
And I guess that's it.

2892
04:18:10,600 --> 04:18:11,080
Any questions?

2893
04:18:12,260 --> 04:18:12,580
Thanks.

2894
04:18:12,940 --> 04:18:13,640
Thank you for sharing that.

2895
04:18:13,860 --> 04:18:14,120
Thank you

2896
04:18:20,080 --> 04:18:22,340
thinking about something that, you know,

2897
04:18:22,440 --> 04:18:26,500
and I know I've said this before that there's research

2898
04:18:26,500 --> 04:18:28,580
that shows that if a student is involved

2899
04:18:28,580 --> 04:18:32,040
in one after school activity, that their dropout rate

2900
04:18:32,040 --> 04:18:33,820
decreases by 40%.

2901
04:18:34,380 --> 04:18:36,360
And if a student is involved in two

2902
04:18:36,360 --> 04:18:38,940
or more after school activities, their dropout rate

2903
04:18:38,940 --> 04:18:40,100
is virtually zero.

2904
04:18:40,100 --> 04:18:53,260
And I keep thinking about teachers and how in the profession of teaching that the statistic is that one out of every seven teachers will leave in the first five years.

2905
04:18:54,000 --> 04:19:08,040
And I wonder if a teacher was involved in something like this, one thing that kept them connected to school besides their teaching if the dropout rate of teachers would be impacted just as much.

2906
04:19:08,040 --> 04:19:13,640
So, you know, as a teacher, but also as a trustee, and of course as a parent, you know,

2907
04:19:13,760 --> 04:19:20,300
thank you very much for embracing teacher leadership, for allowing teacher choice and

2908
04:19:20,300 --> 04:19:21,120
teacher freedom.

2909
04:19:21,780 --> 04:19:24,420
And I think that the results, I mean, I don't have to say it.

2910
04:19:24,500 --> 04:19:28,360
I think that, you know, I couldn't speak any better than they did, but I think it really

2911
04:19:28,360 --> 04:19:35,040
is impactful and very powerful, and, you know, technology should be in every classroom,

2912
04:19:35,040 --> 04:19:43,020
But it isn't to supplement or to supplant teaching it is to supplement and so really important. Thank you. Thank you for that.

2913
04:19:48,000 --> 04:19:49,780
Okay, solar drive.

2914
04:19:53,340 --> 04:19:53,940
So

2915
04:19:57,860 --> 04:20:04,780
We started meeting monthly to discuss the move to solar drive as you all know. It's coming up. It's coming up quickly

2916
04:20:05,040 --> 04:20:15,120
We're looking at March of 2020 to begin getting our data center put in place.

2917
04:20:15,380 --> 04:20:23,600
We plan to replace our phones, as well as do a network, a complete network refresh as

2918
04:20:23,600 --> 04:20:23,800
well.

2919
04:20:24,460 --> 04:20:32,140
We've started meeting monthly with business services, MOT, myself and Joanne, as well as our

2920
04:20:32,140 --> 04:20:41,820
Our counterparts at VCOE are the chief technology officer, Dr. Julie Judd, over there has been coming over and meeting with us once a month that she's been tremendously supportive and helpful.

2921
04:20:42,360 --> 04:20:53,940
So we will continue those meetings as we determine what the redesign will look like for our data center and the network refresh over at Solar Drive.

2922
04:20:53,940 --> 04:20:59,280
It's going to be a very involved process and that's why we're starting now.

2923
04:20:59,960 --> 04:21:03,500
There's a lot of moving parts and we want to ensure that we get we get it right.

2924
04:21:07,910 --> 04:21:10,250
That's all we'll be happy to take any other questions you have.

2925
04:21:10,730 --> 04:21:15,570
Very thorough report, we thank all of you for your contributions to what you do every day, but to this report as well.

2926
04:21:15,850 --> 04:21:16,270
Thank you.

2927
04:21:16,790 --> 04:21:17,070
Christy?

2928
04:21:17,190 --> 04:21:17,570
Thank you.

2929
04:21:17,950 --> 04:21:19,370
And Dr. Delaun, you wanted to say a comment.

2930
04:21:19,390 --> 04:21:20,050
Yes, please.

2931
04:21:20,170 --> 04:21:20,190
Thank you.

2932
04:21:20,190 --> 04:21:20,450
Thank you.

2933
04:21:20,450 --> 04:21:21,110
Thank you.

2934
04:21:21,110 --> 04:21:24,470
We'll go back around the one-to-one issue and I forgot when you were on the slide.

2935
04:21:25,150 --> 04:21:28,350
Well, first of all, I want to thank you and I want to thank all of you.

2936
04:21:28,470 --> 04:21:28,910
Stand up.

2937
04:21:29,610 --> 04:21:30,430
Come up here.

2938
04:21:30,750 --> 04:21:31,050
Come up

2939
04:21:37,640 --> 04:21:37,640
here.

2940
04:21:37,640 --> 04:21:38,140
You know what?

2941
04:21:38,140 --> 04:21:41,640
a Corinne back there. You know what? This

2942
04:21:44,650 --> 04:21:49,310
is our amazing team that makes so much work behind the

2943
04:21:49,310 --> 04:21:57,330
scenes happen. This is it, right? So, right, and I can't tell you how, well it's not all of them,

2944
04:21:57,450 --> 04:22:04,310
but I can't tell you how much we appreciate everything you do. We have made such immense movements

2945
04:22:04,310 --> 04:22:11,330
in this district. I mean, we've restructured the way we look at technology, we've restructured

2946
04:22:11,330 --> 04:22:17,570
the way we look at education. We've brought teacher leadership. We've decided that everything

2947
04:22:17,570 --> 04:22:21,790
we do with technology is going to be driven by the needs of students and teachers. And that

2948
04:22:21,790 --> 04:22:25,610
is absolutely evident in everything you do. And I can't tell you as a superintendent what

2949
04:22:25,610 --> 04:22:30,390
it's like to see your vision of just start to come to fruition. And the one-to-one rollout

2950
04:22:30,390 --> 04:22:36,910
is like sort of that crowning piece that's coming right. So I just wanted to thank all of you for

2951
04:22:36,910 --> 04:22:42,350
everything you do. Thank you. Thank you for coming tonight. You know how much do you know how much

2952
04:22:42,350 --> 04:22:47,070
we appreciate you? Yes. Okay. We know. So that's the first thing I want to say. So big round of applause

2953
04:22:47,070 --> 04:22:56,070
for all of you. Our District Technology Advisory Committee for all of the texts and everybody who's

2954
04:22:56,070 --> 04:22:59,970
who's not here tonight because we have many other people who deserve a lot of help.

2955
04:22:59,970 --> 04:23:03,530
For all of the work that's done every day, our teachers in the classroom, our techs, everybody.

2956
04:23:03,750 --> 04:23:05,770
Everybody at the district, everybody, I want to thank you.

2957
04:23:06,230 --> 04:23:07,770
So that's the first thing.

2958
04:23:08,050 --> 04:23:10,090
And then I have a request from Dr. McCoy.

2959
04:23:10,310 --> 04:23:11,130
And Mr. Wymestein.

2960
04:23:11,990 --> 04:23:13,770
And he always says no, and he shakes his head.

2961
04:23:14,110 --> 04:23:18,870
Before I even ask, do you see he goes, no, okay, here's all I want.

2962
04:23:19,490 --> 04:23:25,170
Because I kind of have the same view of like, I really feel like our techs are stretched.

2963
04:23:26,070 --> 04:23:35,490
Could you just do a cost analysis, three texts for your one roll out and four for your two cost analysis. That's all I'm asking. Bring it back.

2964
04:23:38,350 --> 04:23:43,820
Please just let's see what we can do. Let's see because I myself.

2965
04:23:44,880 --> 04:23:52,120
You guys work so amazingly hard. It's no doubt and you get through your work your tickets. I know you do. I know you guys do.

2966
04:23:52,120 --> 04:23:59,220
I just I'm wondering how we're going to do it myself right so I would like to

2967
04:23:59,220 --> 04:24:02,760
see what that would look like and if we could possibly afford it because Jeff

2968
04:24:07,340 --> 04:24:14,340
but if we can if we can find something somewhere I think that would be an

2969
04:24:14,340 --> 04:24:18,940
important piece because I'm a I do get not that I don't have confidence in all of

2970
04:24:18,940 --> 04:24:23,860
because I do. I do worry when we have that many of more computers.

2971
04:24:24,780 --> 04:24:28,780
That's it. Not that you can't. I just worry. I agree.

2972
04:24:29,360 --> 04:24:33,240
Let's just do a cost analysis. I know you weren't expecting me to ask you that, but I'd like it.

2973
04:24:33,740 --> 04:24:36,600
So that was all. And just thank you again. That's all I wanted to say.

2974
04:24:36,700 --> 04:24:41,580
And I think I can speak on behalf of all of us when I say thank you to all of you.

2975
04:24:41,720 --> 04:24:46,320
You've been tremendously supportive to me and to our entire department.

2976
04:24:46,320 --> 04:24:52,780
And that support has helped us to move forward and to do the things that we're able to do.

2977
04:24:53,040 --> 04:24:55,140
So thank you all of you for being here.

2978
04:24:55,140 --> 04:24:58,440
This report helps bring it all together for us as well, very well put together.

2979
04:24:58,720 --> 04:24:59,620
Has DeHera come in?

2980
04:24:59,680 --> 04:25:05,200
Sorry, I don't have a superintendent De Leon or Dr. McHoy or Director Reina can answer this.

2981
04:25:05,300 --> 04:25:11,220
But in the move, when we go over to the new building, who will be responsible for everything in technology?

2982
04:25:17,280 --> 04:25:23,160
We are in our meetings with and our bond project manager Paul Hansen is also a part of the meeting.

2983
04:25:25,020 --> 04:25:30,500
VCOE is at the table because we have to pull new telecommunications lines from VCOE into solar.

2984
04:25:31,200 --> 04:25:39,060
But we will have all the knowledge to run our system in this team that you see assembled before you.

2985
04:25:39,060 --> 04:25:43,620
So when we move to solar, when we have a refresh network, we're on new phones.

2986
04:25:44,220 --> 04:25:45,560
We've upgraded to 10 gigs.

2987
04:25:45,580 --> 04:25:46,900
We pulled New Telco.

2988
04:25:47,040 --> 04:25:50,180
This is the team that underrated, I mean,

2989
04:25:50,200 --> 04:25:53,640
its direction will supervise all those operations for this district.

2990
04:25:55,630 --> 04:25:59,550
And, Reina, that 2001 device you found, that's my phone.

2991
04:25:59,770 --> 04:26:00,570
I've been looking for it.

2992
04:26:00,590 --> 04:26:02,110
I really did send it to you.

2993
04:26:02,830 --> 04:26:03,250
Thank you.

2994
04:26:03,270 --> 04:26:03,890
Thank you very much.

2995
04:26:04,330 --> 04:26:07,990
It was a computer, it was actually a desktop computer, so I'll send it to you.

2996
04:26:07,990 --> 04:26:10,590
We can put it on display in the display case.

2997
04:26:12,030 --> 04:26:13,090
Thank you all very much.

2998
04:26:13,170 --> 04:26:13,790
Thank you.

2999
04:26:13,890 --> 04:26:14,690
Thank you.

3000
04:26:14,850 --> 04:26:15,310
Thank you.

3001
04:26:16,950 --> 04:26:18,590
It was very, very, very good.

3002
04:26:18,590 --> 04:26:19,010
It was a very, very good.

3003
04:26:19,470 --> 04:26:22,550
And if we're going to get down, so we understand what you mean.

3004
04:26:25,360 --> 04:26:28,380
Dr. De Leon, what in the rest of the agenda can we and should we

3005
04:26:28,380 --> 04:26:30,680
and go right ahead if you say all of the above?

3006
04:26:30,740 --> 04:26:32,840
We just have one item plus items for future.

3007
04:26:33,260 --> 04:26:36,880
So can we have D, D E and F, don't we?

3008
04:26:37,320 --> 04:26:39,980
No, but that's, oh, those are resolutions.

3009
04:26:39,980 --> 04:26:45,780
No, we want not to do resolution, what we need to do, the resolution is for adult week, adult headroom.

3010
04:26:45,780 --> 04:26:48,680
We have a job description, do you have a job description?

3011
04:26:49,100 --> 04:26:51,640
Can I just make the motion to approve adult education link?

3012
04:26:52,660 --> 04:26:53,680
Is that next on the agenda?

3013
04:26:54,180 --> 04:26:56,800
The one is the coordinator for student data systems, this is the next item.

3014
04:26:58,880 --> 04:26:59,280
15D.

3015
04:27:00,920 --> 04:27:01,980
Is this the first reading?

3016
04:27:02,500 --> 04:27:03,580
This is the first reading.

3017
04:27:03,580 --> 04:27:07,040
This is the first reading and it was what he just explained.

3018
04:27:07,040 --> 04:27:14,000
Yeah, so can we just be comfortable if we want to say just first reading bring it back to us when we're fresher. Yes, okay, Dr.

3019
04:27:14,080 --> 04:27:14,820
Hall, did you make that motion?

3020
04:27:15,820 --> 04:27:16,220
I did not.

3021
04:27:16,700 --> 04:27:24,620
I'll make the motion move to approve the first reading or the approval of the new job description coordinator of student data systems.

3022
04:27:24,900 --> 04:27:27,480
Yes, we have a second.

3023
04:27:28,420 --> 04:27:29,640
I'm comfortable in that.

3024
04:27:30,440 --> 04:27:33,540
Okay, this is a really, really critical position.

3025
04:27:34,000 --> 04:27:36,660
Okay, let's have the presentation then, or delay it.

3026
04:27:36,840 --> 04:27:39,760
We're going to lose a lot of money if we don't get this straight, right?

3027
04:27:41,340 --> 04:27:43,200
Okay, do we want the presentation or roll it over?

3028
04:27:45,650 --> 04:27:47,530
Well, Trustee Edmunds isn't back, so I'm going to be honest.

3029
04:27:47,530 --> 04:27:49,330
Yeah, so maybe

3030
04:27:52,820 --> 04:27:54,440
he doesn't know, should I make the motion again?

3031
04:27:55,280 --> 04:27:58,300
Yeah, we were considering, we're on 15D, Mr. Edmunds.

3032
04:27:58,860 --> 04:28:04,360
15D, the consideration of approval of coordinator, student, data systems for first reading.

3033
04:28:04,960 --> 04:28:07,260
I made the motion to approve the first reading.

3034
04:28:08,160 --> 04:28:08,760
Nobody yet?

3035
04:28:09,100 --> 04:28:10,340
We're waiting for a second.

3036
04:28:11,620 --> 04:28:11,840
Okay.

3037
04:28:12,400 --> 04:28:13,300
Is there discussion?

3038
04:28:13,620 --> 04:28:14,420
I have a question.

3039
04:28:14,600 --> 04:28:15,080
Yes, great.

3040
04:28:15,220 --> 04:28:16,960
The plan ultimately is to do what?

3041
04:28:17,020 --> 04:28:18,100
There's no fiscal implications.

3042
04:28:18,360 --> 04:28:19,820
So what was the plan here again?

3043
04:28:19,860 --> 04:28:20,380
It's a neutral.

3044
04:28:20,560 --> 04:28:21,320
We already have it.

3045
04:28:21,440 --> 04:28:21,780
Budgeted.

3046
04:28:21,840 --> 04:28:22,880
We just never filled it.

3047
04:28:25,140 --> 04:28:32,300
We had an unfilled network security, but it was unfilled in the budget the last two years.

3048
04:28:32,300 --> 04:28:49,380
So the primary source for funding is coming from that, but we are also moving proposing if this position were approved to move it into the district LCAP and off the general fund side of the house because it serves the students who are unduplicated.

3049
04:28:51,160 --> 04:28:56,140
If this job description were eventually approved, we would bring the permission to hire during the budget.

3050
04:29:00,820 --> 04:29:11,680
You know, prior to being elected to the board, I sit here and listen to a lot of meetings and we had a problem with the cafeteria, which was over $5 million.

3051
04:29:11,900 --> 04:29:15,280
It was a accounting issue, 5 million at one step.

3052
04:29:15,740 --> 04:29:20,080
And then we've had several other issues that have involved student data.

3053
04:29:20,520 --> 04:29:23,580
And I know we continue to refine our data.

3054
04:29:23,580 --> 04:29:32,000
But, you know, I've listened to a lot of things on IT and this one to one is immense.

3055
04:29:32,540 --> 04:29:33,320
It's like a tsunami.

3056
04:29:33,980 --> 04:29:36,000
At the same time we're opening up a school.

3057
04:29:36,940 --> 04:29:42,520
And so, you know, I have a lot of reservations as how we're going to fund these things.

3058
04:29:42,980 --> 04:29:52,400
But if we're going to keep moving forward as a system and I admit I do not have the fund of knowledge regarding technology

3059
04:29:52,400 --> 04:29:57,820
that some of you setting up your dues, I have to support this position and I don't know

3060
04:29:57,820 --> 04:29:59,260
how we're going to fund all these things.

3061
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:11,560
I looked at the people here working hard. You have a one-to-one school, and you have 3,3300 devices. It's almost humanly impossible without additional help. Right. And so.

3062
04:30:13,960 --> 04:30:29,600
And there's no fiscal implication for this. This is neutral because we have a budgeted position that we've never been able to fill for how many years now, three. We had a vacant for two and a half. I support it. Okay. We have a motion. The second is there further discussion?

3063
04:30:30,360 --> 04:30:34,180
I'm still processing the report that we had at 10 o'clock at night here.

3064
04:30:34,660 --> 04:30:38,860
When we bring this back for a second reading, can we bring back the flow chart too?

3065
04:30:39,360 --> 04:30:48,640
Because I just had some comments I wanted to make when it's a more humane hour about just the structure of our empty area.

3066
04:30:49,480 --> 04:30:51,020
Okay, can you do that?

3067
04:30:51,400 --> 04:30:51,840
Absolutely.

3068
04:30:52,340 --> 04:30:52,600
Thank you.

3069
04:30:53,020 --> 04:30:55,880
Okay, we're moving forward on a first reading.

3070
04:30:55,880 --> 04:31:03,160
Okay, we'll call the question on that, those in favor of accepting the new job description as presented for first reading, say aye.

3071
04:31:03,480 --> 04:31:03,640
Aye.

3072
04:31:04,120 --> 04:31:04,540
Any opposed?

3073
04:31:05,220 --> 04:31:05,620
Yes.

3074
04:31:06,100 --> 04:31:06,480
Opposed?

3075
04:31:06,880 --> 04:31:09,660
All right, 4-1, and we'll bring it back for second reading.

3076
04:31:11,360 --> 04:31:11,840
Yes.

3077
04:31:14,120 --> 04:31:18,840
4-1, and we'll bring it back for second reading with the additional information that has been requested.

3078
04:31:19,460 --> 04:31:21,600
Then we have two resolutions, let's go ahead to those.

3079
04:31:23,420 --> 04:31:27,280
I'll motion to approve National Adult Education Week.

3080
04:31:27,520 --> 04:31:27,740
Second.

3081
04:31:27,740 --> 04:31:34,340
All right. Any discussion? Here are your new requests. Those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? No.

3082
04:31:35,540 --> 04:31:44,880
Congratulations and thank you for all your hard work and please let your staff know that we are appreciative of our adult school and happy adult as week.

3083
04:31:44,880 --> 04:31:46,260
Happy adult as week. Happy adult as week.

3084
04:31:46,260 --> 04:31:46,300
Happy adult as week.

3085
04:31:46,380 --> 04:31:46,960
That's all home.

3086
04:31:49,400 --> 04:31:49,800
Okay.

3087
04:31:50,340 --> 04:31:51,620
She's like I'm trying to.

3088
04:31:54,600 --> 04:31:56,400
And in the next resolution,

3089
04:31:57,100 --> 04:32:01,680
So that is it, we had, what about resolution, pre-qualification, E?

3090
04:32:01,880 --> 04:32:02,560
We didn't do that, did we?

3091
04:32:02,740 --> 04:32:04,880
Move to approve, no, we haven't done it.

3092
04:32:05,020 --> 04:32:05,500
We missed that one.

3093
04:32:05,600 --> 04:32:05,980
A second.

3094
04:32:06,600 --> 04:32:09,800
Okay, you made a motion, okay, this, we're back to item E.

3095
04:32:10,080 --> 04:32:10,240
Yep.

3096
04:32:11,060 --> 04:32:14,020
So, item E, we have a motion and a second, any discussion?

3097
04:32:15,380 --> 04:32:18,300
Those in favor of item E as presented, say aye.

3098
04:32:18,400 --> 04:32:18,520
Aye.

3099
04:32:18,740 --> 04:32:18,840
Aye.

3100
04:32:19,260 --> 04:32:19,520
Any opposed?

3101
04:32:19,680 --> 04:32:19,840
No?

3102
04:32:24,480 --> 04:32:24,620
A board?

3103
04:32:24,620 --> 04:32:24,840
A board?

3104
04:32:25,080 --> 04:32:28,720
A board reports the communications.

3105
04:32:31,930 --> 04:32:38,490
I went to the STEM summit at the Ventura County Office of Education that invited local counselors.

3106
04:32:39,270 --> 04:32:41,590
It was a great event, Oxnard was represented.

3107
04:32:42,290 --> 04:32:48,530
Oxnard University High School District was represented by, let's get late, by Reina and her team there.

3108
04:32:48,930 --> 04:32:56,870
And it was a really good event, it had a regional event focusing on STEM careers and pathways to go through, so I was really glad.

3109
04:32:56,870 --> 04:32:59,090
You mean Rebecca? Chandler? Rebecca?

3110
04:32:59,270 --> 04:33:00,770
Oh, thank you. Thank you. It's late.

3111
04:33:00,990 --> 04:33:02,030
Rebecca Chandler, thank you.

3112
04:33:02,550 --> 04:33:06,550
And I talked to a few counselors at Cameroon High School

3113
04:33:06,550 --> 04:33:08,170
who were there and Oxford High School

3114
04:33:08,170 --> 04:33:11,990
and one of which was my student many years ago.

3115
04:33:12,250 --> 04:33:13,410
So that's how I see it.

3116
04:33:13,550 --> 04:33:15,050
That's why I see it. Yeah, it is.

3117
04:33:15,690 --> 04:33:17,990
Right. I know it's a busy time of year.

3118
04:33:18,070 --> 04:33:20,070
We're all going different kinds of things with your permission.

3119
04:33:20,430 --> 04:33:22,210
I'll just give the superintendent a list of things

3120
04:33:22,210 --> 04:33:23,830
that I participated in. Let it go.

3121
04:33:24,310 --> 04:33:24,490
Okay.

3122
04:33:27,490 --> 04:33:32,010
We're all doing good things and it's a celebratory, if that's a word, time of year.

3123
04:33:33,190 --> 04:33:36,030
No, I don't have a report, I just have items for future considerations.

3124
04:33:36,090 --> 04:33:37,510
Yes, okay, let's turn to page two.

3125
04:33:37,590 --> 04:33:38,650
Can I do my report really quick?

3126
04:33:38,650 --> 04:33:39,230
Go ahead, yes.

3127
04:33:39,290 --> 04:33:40,950
I have a few things that I just want to mention.

3128
04:33:41,730 --> 04:33:46,890
So I went to the Tri-County Education Coalition meeting in Santa Barbara on the 15th of March.

3129
04:33:46,890 --> 04:33:52,990
And we talked a lot about gun shows in our county and the impact on students.

3130
04:33:52,990 --> 04:34:16,930
and I want to redirect everybody who's listening out there still that you can go to our webpage and look on the board of trustees and next to my picture you'll find a link that has that to a petition about universal gun control and gun and gun shows in our county as well being a part of that.

3131
04:34:16,930 --> 04:34:19,450
So I wanted to redirect everyone's attention.

3132
04:34:19,870 --> 04:34:26,730
And also full and fair funding, we're the 41st in the nation in California and per people funding.

3133
04:34:27,230 --> 04:34:30,950
And so asking the public to call their elected representatives and

3134
04:34:30,950 --> 04:34:35,190
ask them to support full and fair funding for schools in California.

3135
04:34:36,130 --> 04:34:42,070
I cannot go without mentioning the professional development day on the 18th of March,

3136
04:34:42,250 --> 04:34:43,890
which I was so happy to attend.

3137
04:34:43,890 --> 04:34:49,130
And not only as a trustee, but I wanted to see what's happening with regard to professional learning.

3138
04:34:49,550 --> 04:34:52,210
But as a teacher, it was unbelievable.

3139
04:34:52,930 --> 04:34:59,650
There were over 80, as was mentioned, over 80, professional development workshops.

3140
04:35:00,010 --> 04:35:04,630
I did attend the LGBTQ plus workshop, which was amazing.

3141
04:35:05,090 --> 04:35:09,530
And then I went over to Pacifica and Alice in Holokyman said that she's not here still.

3142
04:35:09,530 --> 04:35:16,070
because she led an ed camp for the Pacifica High School faculty and if you haven't

3143
04:35:16,070 --> 04:35:20,590
participated in that, it was, it's all about teacher choice and about professional

3144
04:35:20,590 --> 04:35:24,730
learning and options and she led it and it was amazing and I actually got to

3145
04:35:24,730 --> 04:35:30,010
leave one on teacher leadership which was really exciting. On the 19th of March I

3146
04:35:30,010 --> 04:35:35,330
attended Oxard City Council and there was an article in the paper that discussed

3147
04:35:35,330 --> 04:35:39,410
the City Council's opinions about our new high school number eight.

3148
04:35:39,630 --> 04:35:44,250
I want to thank the City Council publicly for supporting our high school.

3149
04:35:44,990 --> 04:35:53,370
I do wish that we had a mayor in the City of Oxnard that supported public schools in a more

3150
04:35:54,650 --> 04:35:56,710
giving way and loving way.

3151
04:35:57,270 --> 04:36:04,110
As the mayor of Oxnard, I would hope that in any statement that he makes about the schools

3152
04:36:04,110 --> 04:36:08,930
an Oxnard that he would also add a statement that would go something like this.

3153
04:36:09,510 --> 04:36:14,170
I'm the mayor of Oxnard and I'll do everything in my power to make the schools in Oxnard

3154
04:36:14,710 --> 04:36:19,290
the most powerful they can be so people want to move to Oxnard because of the schools.

3155
04:36:19,810 --> 04:36:24,170
So I'll say that, but I would like to thank the City Council for their support of high school

3156
04:36:24,170 --> 04:36:24,810
number eight.

3157
04:36:25,230 --> 04:36:30,770
I also want to thank Dr. De Leon and Mr. Weinstein for representing our high school district

3158
04:36:30,770 --> 04:36:34,070
worked so well, really advocating for our students,

3159
04:36:34,410 --> 04:36:37,290
for public education, for access and equity,

3160
04:36:37,870 --> 04:36:40,330
for social justice and smaller classes,

3161
04:36:40,630 --> 04:36:42,270
because that is going to be the impact

3162
04:36:42,270 --> 04:36:43,510
of our high school number eight

3163
04:36:43,510 --> 04:36:45,210
is to make smaller classes everywhere.

3164
04:36:45,850 --> 04:36:46,230
So thank you.

3165
04:36:46,350 --> 04:36:47,990
And then last but not least, I attended,

3166
04:36:48,270 --> 04:36:51,510
which was amazing because I registered my daughter.

3167
04:36:51,850 --> 04:36:54,290
I'm gonna be a scorpion parent next year.

3168
04:36:54,610 --> 04:36:58,150
So I participated in that, which was so amazing.

3169
04:36:58,150 --> 04:37:02,350
And then we attended the Camry High School Scorpion Showcase.

3170
04:37:02,610 --> 04:37:12,410
And so as a future scorpion parent, it was really exciting and very informative to see all of the extracurricular athletic activities that students can participate in.

3171
04:37:12,490 --> 04:37:13,470
My daughter is very excited.

3172
04:37:13,870 --> 04:37:19,250
And last but not least, on the 29th of March, I attended the women of the year.

3173
04:37:19,750 --> 04:37:23,670
Hannah Beth Jackson and Monique Lemons, women of the year awards.

3174
04:37:23,870 --> 04:37:26,730
And it was such great representatives for our communities.

3175
04:37:26,730 --> 04:37:29,190
So I wanted to thank them, and that's all I have.

3176
04:37:29,710 --> 04:37:31,030
Thank you, everyone.

3177
04:37:31,370 --> 04:37:31,530
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

3178
04:37:32,290 --> 04:37:34,310
Okay, item for future.

3179
04:37:34,610 --> 04:37:35,290
Let's take a look at that.

3180
04:37:36,970 --> 04:37:39,310
Trustee Rare, did you have a comment on the items for the future?

3181
04:37:39,490 --> 04:37:41,370
Or are you going to, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

3182
04:37:41,510 --> 04:37:42,250
And I'll go second.

3183
04:37:42,250 --> 04:37:43,530
Okay, pretty good, yes, Mr. Dredons.

3184
04:37:45,050 --> 04:37:47,910
I understand you can't make a gift of public funds.

3185
04:37:48,650 --> 04:37:51,410
But when I saw this report tonight on IT,

3186
04:37:51,910 --> 04:37:54,830
they're talking about decommissioning computers.

3187
04:37:55,410 --> 04:37:59,370
And these are going to be wrapped up in sent to electronic waste.

3188
04:37:59,710 --> 04:38:06,470
If there are some that maybe aren't as old as others that could be used with EL students,

3189
04:38:07,370 --> 04:38:12,210
I would like, you know, we have some very needy students that do not have devices.

3190
04:38:12,950 --> 04:38:16,710
And if we're going to throw away three or four hundred devices,

3191
04:38:17,230 --> 04:38:21,050
I'm sure that we have some students that would be very appreciative.

3192
04:38:21,050 --> 04:38:24,050
And so I would like to see what the ed code says about.

3193
04:38:24,990 --> 04:38:29,930
Instead of disposing of these, let's see if we can give them the students.

3194
04:38:32,550 --> 04:38:33,170
Would you remember?

3195
04:38:33,450 --> 04:38:35,370
Yeah, items for future consideration.

3196
04:38:35,850 --> 04:38:42,570
When the IT org chart came up, Dr. McCoy mentioned this was like the five year plan, is that correct?

3197
04:38:43,170 --> 04:38:47,870
So in the five year plan though, I am very concerned like Trustee Edmunds mentioned and

3198
04:38:47,870 --> 04:38:51,050
others about the one-to-one devices, but a new high school.

3199
04:38:51,050 --> 04:39:00,390
And so I do not believe that that reflects what the needs even are now in some of the other areas.

3200
04:39:01,070 --> 04:39:06,670
And I would like to see, I understand the need for data and I understand the issues we have had.

3201
04:39:06,770 --> 04:39:10,750
It's been very public, it's been reporting the paper and I get it.

3202
04:39:11,090 --> 04:39:18,350
But does it have to be a coordinator and does it have to be that that's the only person that could oversee those other areas where

3203
04:39:18,350 --> 04:39:25,910
or I find that the other areas have equal need or perhaps there's going to be even a greater need.

3204
04:39:26,470 --> 04:39:33,710
For me, I would like to see that as a future consideration as what would be a different type of IT in the future

3205
04:39:34,190 --> 04:39:43,870
to meet the needs of a new high school and all of us going one-to-one devices as estimation or projected plan.

3206
04:39:43,870 --> 04:39:46,750
And I mean, you're going to bring what you're going to bring forward.

3207
04:39:47,010 --> 04:39:50,590
But as one board member, I would like to see that because I do believe I heard them loud and clear.

3208
04:39:50,890 --> 04:39:54,410
They need help, the current areas need help.

3209
04:39:55,330 --> 04:39:57,210
And so I would like to hear that.

3210
04:39:57,430 --> 04:40:06,110
And I would like to hear it from Dr. De Leon in yourself because I do believe that my experience as one board member,

3211
04:40:06,310 --> 04:40:10,870
I do not have the same feedback that you have from what's happening within IT.

3212
04:40:10,870 --> 04:40:15,550
I highly regard the staff, I highly regard the work they do.

3213
04:40:16,130 --> 04:40:27,270
But the experience that the staff and the teachers are having under this IT structure is not what I'm hearing from staff.

3214
04:40:27,650 --> 04:40:30,670
I would like us to have that discussion about that.

3215
04:40:31,890 --> 04:40:32,570
Thank you for that.

3216
04:40:34,640 --> 04:40:35,260
Any of these?

3217
04:40:35,420 --> 04:40:35,540
Yes.

3218
04:40:36,400 --> 04:40:43,500
First of all, I was remiss in congratulating the community member of the year here.

3219
04:40:44,500 --> 04:40:45,260
Congratulations visually.

3220
04:40:46,500 --> 04:40:53,500
And Dr. Davis, I just wanted to request again that we have at some point on one of our meetings a discussion about emergency procedures.

3221
04:40:53,500 --> 04:40:57,120
I was going to point that out on May 1st, that's what we met, that's the start of that discussion.

3222
04:40:57,720 --> 04:40:58,860
The which one, the staff report?

3223
04:40:59,140 --> 04:41:00,080
The emergency procedures.

3224
04:41:00,240 --> 04:41:00,860
Ah, there it is.

3225
04:41:00,860 --> 04:41:06,200
We will at least what CSB recommends, we'll be all from there, but we did hear you.

3226
04:41:06,500 --> 04:41:09,240
I did want to include, I looked at, I didn't see that there, I didn't do.

3227
04:41:09,480 --> 04:41:13,520
I did want to include also whatever our procedure is related to school closure.

3228
04:41:13,760 --> 04:41:15,020
Yes, okay, we understand that.

3229
04:41:15,500 --> 04:41:21,820
And then I wanted to ask, Dr. Davis, I wanted to adjourn our meeting today in honor of

3230
04:41:21,820 --> 04:41:24,140
someone when we come to adjourning the open session.

3231
04:41:24,220 --> 04:41:27,960
Would you be okay with the board president of delegating that assignment to me?

3232
04:41:27,960 --> 04:41:34,200
I wanted to make a statement and dedicate this meeting to pass the passing of a community member.

3233
04:41:34,820 --> 04:41:39,540
What do we do that now we can still convene, we can be in close session to avoid the sake of the record.

3234
04:41:39,780 --> 04:41:40,620
Okay, sure, thank you.

3235
04:41:40,960 --> 04:41:46,040
I just, I wanted to adjourn this meeting and

3236
04:41:46,040 --> 04:41:53,400
dedicate this meeting to Bill Shelley, who is the founder of the addictive disorder studies program at Oxnard College.

3237
04:41:53,400 --> 04:42:00,320
He was a nationally now an expert in treatment for people suffering from addiction.

3238
04:42:01,300 --> 04:42:04,520
He created a program for not only treating people with addiction, but

3239
04:42:04,520 --> 04:42:08,960
also a certificate for students to work in the criminal justice system.

3240
04:42:09,080 --> 04:42:11,580
They actually work in jails and help people get off the drugs.

3241
04:42:12,240 --> 04:42:16,100
He was one of the most outstanding teachers I've ever met.

3242
04:42:16,540 --> 04:42:19,640
He taught until he was 90 years old.

3243
04:42:19,640 --> 04:42:24,580
He died teaching this semester in the middle of the semester, he was still teaching.

3244
04:42:25,200 --> 04:42:32,500
I went to his 90th birthday party three weeks ago, or actually about a month ago, but he did pass on Monday.

3245
04:42:33,120 --> 04:42:38,740
And I wanted to adjourn this meeting in his honor and dedicate this meeting into his honor.

3246
04:42:38,740 --> 04:42:40,400
Very appropriate, thank you for bringing that to our attention.

3247
04:42:40,980 --> 04:42:43,040
We'll be courted as we adjourn the open session.

3248
04:42:43,200 --> 04:42:43,640
Okay.

3249
04:42:43,640 --> 04:42:46,700
Okay, his family, a letter, like a little, like a resolution or something?

3250
04:42:46,760 --> 04:42:46,900
Yes.

3251
04:42:47,240 --> 04:42:51,780
Not a resolution, but that we, at this meeting, yeah.

3252
04:42:52,240 --> 04:42:53,160
That's the answer to the jury.

3253
04:42:53,260 --> 04:42:53,560
Thank you.

3254
04:42:53,820 --> 04:42:54,400
Thank you for that.

3255
04:42:55,120 --> 04:42:56,500
Will we convene in a closed session?

3256
04:42:56,860 --> 04:42:57,460
Yes, we will.
