[0:53] the pledge of allegiance.
[0:56] dr. Mccoy, would you please lead
[0:58] us in the pledge?
[1:01] >> I pledge allegiance to the
[1:02] flag of the united states of
[1:03] america and to the republic, for
[1:04] which it stands, one nation,
[1:05] under god, indivisible, with
[1:06] liberty and justice for all.
[1:18] >> thank you.

[1:21] acknowledgment.
[1:22] a land acknowledgment is a
[1:23] commitment to acknowledge and
[1:25] learn about the native people
[1:27] within your surroundings.
[1:28] today as we gather together on
[1:32] land we acknowledge the native
[1:34] lands we stand sit work and
[1:36] live.
[1:37] collectively, we honor the

[1:40] the plant life of today, and the
[1:42] past which benefit us in the
[1:45] future.
[1:46] commit honoring native rights
[1:48] and cultural equity through
[1:49] education where our journey
[1:50] among these lands take us and
[1:53] where you are on the continent
[1:56] you are on indigenous peoples
[1:58] land.

[7:26] with 1 abstention.
[7:27] we are moving on to public
[7:29] comments for closed session
[7:30] items.
[7:31] I have one speaker card.
[7:32] mr. Sturgeon are there any other
[7:34] speaker cards?
[7:36] thank you.
[7:37] so, those persons wishing to
[7:38] address the board may do so at
[7:40] this time and asked to complete
[7:41] a speaker card.
[7:42] all public comments are to be
[7:44] directed to the board president.
[7:46] individual speakers are allowed
[7:48] 3 minutes to address the board
[7:50] on each agenda or non agenda
[7:52] item.
[7:56] however, in circumstances when
[8:00] necessary to insure full
[8:01] opportunities for public input,
[8:02] the president may with board
[8:04] consent adjust the amount of
[8:06] time allowed for public input
[8:07] and/or the time allotted for
[8:09] each speaker.
[8:10] any such adjustments shall be
[8:13] done so to allow diversity of
[8:15] viewpoints.
[8:16] the president may also ask
[8:17] members of the public with the
[8:18] same viewpoint to elect a few
[8:22] individuals to address the board
[8:23] on behalf that viewpoint.
[8:25] in order to insure that non
[8:26] english speakers receive the
[8:27] same opportunity to directly
[8:29] address the board, any member of
[8:31] the public who utilizes
[8:36] interpret it is allowed twice
[8:37] the allotted time to address the
[8:39] board.
[8:40] refer to complete text of board
[8:43] bylaw, 9323 conduct of board
[8:46] meetings public participation.
[8:48] due to the brown act the board
[8:50] cannot respond directly to
[8:51] public comment.
[8:52] the board can direct the
[8:53] superintendent and staff to meet
[8:55] with members of the public to
[8:56] better understand their concerns
[8:58] or points of view.
[9:00] I have one speaker card from mr.
[9:03] tim allison.
[9:04] welcome.
[9:06] >> madam chair, members.
[9:07] tim allison, executive director
[9:09] oxnard federation of teachers
[9:11] and school employees.
[9:12] first of all, procedural issue
[9:13] just for clarity.
[9:15] the board has approved the
[9:17] agenda.
[9:18] they adopted the agenda and I
[9:19] want to make sure that it is
[9:21] clear in everyone's mind that
[9:23] the ability of this board to
[9:25] amend an agenda after approval
[9:27] or pull items just because you
[9:29] adopted the agenda doesn't mean
[9:31] you can't at the time of consent
[9:33] calendar or the time that you
[9:36] are moving through an agenda you
[9:37] can still amend an agenda.
[9:39] I bring that up because I think
[9:40] it is important that this board
[9:42] understands it has the ability
[9:44] and there is a legal necessity
[9:46] for the ability to amend an
[9:47] agenda later, because the board
[9:50] agenda is adopted before public
[9:53] comment has been given for both
[9:55] closed session and open session.
[9:57] so, there is often a
[10:01] misconception that once an
[10:02] agenda is adopted it can't be
[10:04] amended and items can't still be
[10:06] pulled at the time they come up
[10:09] later.
[10:10] I'm here to talk specifically
[10:11] about today's closed session.
[10:13] the board will be determining
[10:14] whether to finalize a contract
[10:16] with dr. Kelsen and if so what
[10:18] the terms and provisions of the
[10:20] contract should be.
[10:21] while we have concerns over the
[10:24] process what turned out to be a
[10:26] less fully transparent process
[10:28] in the selection of a new
[10:29] superintendent, this doesn't
[10:31] seem to be the time nor place
[10:32] for that conversation, so I want
[10:34] to talk specifically about
[10:36] provisions of the contract.
[10:38] we have now received the current
[10:40] superintendent contract, which
[10:42] seems to be kind of a wish list
[10:44] of what an administrator might
[10:47] want in a contract, and I want
[10:48] to focus on just three
[10:50] provisions.
[10:51] number one, you will have a
[10:52] determination to make in terms
[10:53] of what the compensation will be
[10:55] for the new superintendent and
[10:57] whether there will be automatic
[10:59] pay increases for that
[11:00] superintendent.
[11:03] you'll have a decision to make
[11:04] as to balancing what new
[11:11] superintendent compensation will
[11:12] be compared to the new
[11:14] superintendent with six years of
[11:16] experience on the job.
[11:17] you have a decision to make of
[11:18] longevity.
[11:19] I was surprised to find the
[11:20] current superintendent receives
[11:22] a longevity bonus right from day
[11:26] one and if that is it the case
[11:27] the new superintendent contract
[11:29] I will want that for all our
[11:31] members.
[11:32] our teachers have to wait 15
[11:33] years to get a longevity bonus
[11:35] and if the new superintendent
[11:37] gets that day one, more power to
[11:39] him or her, that is great, but
[11:41] now we want that for all of our
[11:42] members.
[11:43] and then the third issue is the
[11:45] length of time of the contract.
[11:48] when our classified employees
[11:50] start on the job they have a 6
[11:53] month probationary period and
[11:56] teachers have a 1 year and 2
[11:58] year probationary.
[12:01] whoever is the next
[12:04] superintendent whether dr.
[12:06] kelsen or someone else we want
[12:08] to make sure it is good fit and
[12:10] think probationary period should
[12:12] be a short one so we are working
[12:14] together and heading in the
[12:15] right direction and look forward
[12:16] working with the new leadership
[12:18] team moving this district
[12:20] forward.
[12:21] thank you.
[12:22] >> thank you.
[12:23] okay.
[12:24] we are moving--no other speaker
[12:26] cards.
[12:28] sorry, I lost my place.
[12:31] we are moving to closed session.
[12:34] during this time the board may
[12:36] adjourn to closed session to
[12:37] discuss confidential material
[12:39] relating to the following items,
[12:41] public employee discipline
[12:45] dismissal release resignation.
[12:51] government code section 54957.
[12:55] public employee appointments.
[12:58] the title is superintendent.
[13:00] conference with labor
[13:02] negotiators.
[13:03] student personnel.
[13:05] consideration of confidential
[13:07] student issues other then
[13:09] expulsion and suspension and
[13:12] conference with legal counsel
[13:14] and that is it.
[13:15] we intend to be back from closed
[13:16] session as close to 6:30 as
[13:19] possible.
[13:20] I want to say that that might be
[13:22] a little bit past 6:30, just
[13:24] fair warning.
[13:26] for everybody else, we are
[13:27] adjourned to closed session.
[13:30] [board in closed session]
[2:13:15] [captioner on standby]
[2:46:01] >> we are going togo through the
[2:46:04] agenda.
[2:46:05] go through all the items in the
[2:46:07] agenda.
[2:46:09] accept we are going to
[2:46:13] move-after item 17, which is
[2:46:14] items for future consideration,
[2:46:16] we are going to return to closed
[2:46:18] session.
[2:46:20] at which time we will then
[2:46:22] return to open session to
[2:46:24] address item 10 a and provide an
[2:46:28] opportunity for the public to
[2:46:29] make comments with regard to the
[2:46:32] item at that time if anyone
[2:46:34] would like to.
[2:46:35] so, and then we'll adjourn.
[2:46:37] for the sake of the public, we
[2:46:39] are going through the agenda
[2:46:42] accept for we will move 10 a to
[2:46:45] after item 17.
[2:46:50] if there is any question, we can
[2:46:53] make sure everybody has an
[2:46:55] understanding of what we are
[2:46:56] doing.
[2:46:57] are the trustees in agreement
[2:46:58] with that?
[2:47:02] okay.
[2:47:06] we have nothing to report out of
[2:47:07] closed session at this time.
[2:47:10] and so we are moving on-I will
[2:47:13] ask if trustee baker torres has
[2:47:17] a motion to make.
[2:47:19] sorry.
[2:47:20] public comment.
[2:47:21] we'll do public comment.
[2:47:22] nothing to report on closed
[2:47:24] session.
[2:47:25] thank you dr. Mccoy.
[2:47:26] and we are going to-do public
[2:47:27] comment to address the board of
[2:47:28] trustees.
[2:48:51] I have two speaker cards.
[2:48:53] the first is mr. Tim allison,
[2:48:55] the second is mrs. Maria
[2:49:00] saldana.
[2:49:01] are there other speaker cards at
[2:49:02] this time?
[2:49:03] thank you.
[2:49:04] so, there allison, welcome.
[2:49:08] >> madam chair, members of the
[2:49:10] board.
[2:49:11] tim allison oxnard teachers.
[2:49:16] I will not take 10 minutes.
[2:49:19] want to say thank you to matt
[2:49:23] the assistant superintendent
[2:49:24] with hr working with him we were
[2:49:26] able to revise language on board
[2:49:28] policy xx administration of
[2:49:31] medication to the satisfaction
[2:49:33] of our members and the revision
[2:49:37] of board policy you have in
[2:49:39] front of you is something oftsc
[2:49:42] is fine with.
[2:49:43] similarly, 13g, which is the
[2:49:46] change in job description for
[2:49:48] athletic trainers, the members
[2:49:51] are fine with that as well.
[2:49:52] in terms of the board policy of
[2:49:55] ric counselors, we received last
[2:49:56] week and not yet had the
[2:49:58] opportunity to run by our
[2:49:59] members, so glad it only here
[2:50:02] for first read ing.
[2:50:03] by the time it comes back for
[2:50:05] second reading, we will make
[2:50:06] sure our members are fine with
[2:50:07] that.
[2:50:08] in terms of ww on the agenda,
[2:50:13] 12ww artificial intelligence, I
[2:50:15] don't have-our folks don't
[2:50:17] really have any problems with
[2:50:19] the board policy as presented,
[2:50:20] accept to note that that will be
[2:50:22] a subject of collective
[2:50:24] bargaining.
[2:50:25] we do have a entire article that
[2:50:28] we will be proposing after july
[2:50:33] 6 for collective bargaining
[2:50:34] agreement which is more
[2:50:35] comprehensive and addressing
[2:50:37] specifically some member
[2:50:38] concerns on issues of artificial
[2:50:40] intelligence and the use in the
[2:50:42] workforce and making sure that
[2:50:44] it doesn't replace humans.
[2:50:47] and then the only other thing I
[2:50:48] wanted to note is, 13c on the
[2:50:51] agenda, which is consideration
[2:50:53] of approval for contract award
[2:50:54] for bernards for future as
[2:50:56] needed construction management
[2:50:58] services.
[2:50:59] I guess from the district
[2:51:00] standpoint, third time is a
[2:51:02] charm coming back, trying yet
[2:51:04] again to pay additional folks
[2:51:08] for services that is just not
[2:51:11] something that we think should
[2:51:13] be expended out of measure e
[2:51:15] funding.
[2:51:16] thank you.
[2:51:17] appreciate it.
[2:51:18] >> thank you.
[2:51:19] maria saldana.
[2:51:25] welcome.
[2:51:27] >> good evening president of the
[2:51:29] board dr. Karen sher and
[2:51:31] respective board
[2:51:33] members,currently present, linda
[2:51:34] baker torres, flores-haro, dr.
[2:51:39] mccoy and-botello and estrada.
[2:51:47] I like to make it quick, as a
[2:51:50] female a chicona and academic
[2:51:53] guidance counselor having
[2:51:55] experience at various levels in
[2:51:57] those assignments I come before
[2:51:58] you this evening to remind each
[2:52:01] of you as elected officials and
[2:52:03] soon to be and not in the room,
[2:52:06] dr. Virginia kelsen, soon to be
[2:52:12] appointed superintendent you
[2:52:14] have a moral ethical and legal
[2:52:15] responsibility to all students
[2:52:18] families and employees of the
[2:52:20] district.
[2:52:21] each had experiences in the area
[2:52:22] of teaching whether as a
[2:52:24] paraprofessional, a teacher or
[2:52:26] administrator.
[2:52:27] with this being said, it is
[2:52:29] expected that the delivery of
[2:52:31] services to all students and
[2:52:33] families be delivered in a
[2:52:34] timely and effective manner.
[2:52:36] all stakeholders are part of the
[2:52:38] decision for making process for
[2:52:40] decision making process with new
[2:52:43] positions, programs and projects
[2:52:45] are being considered for
[2:52:48] implementation.
[2:52:49] all voices are to be heard.
[2:52:50] we matter, thank you.
[2:52:51] I also wish to quickly address
[2:52:53] the other agenda item in regards
[2:52:55] to human resources and
[2:52:57] consideration of approval of job
[2:52:58] description for the restorative
[2:53:01] intervention counselor.
[2:53:02] I will ask this board that you
[2:53:05] please look at the job
[2:53:07] descriptions of the counselor
[2:53:09] for counselor and this district.
[2:53:11] you look at what I see as a
[2:53:15] possible description for the ric
[2:53:18] counselor and I want you to look
[2:53:21] at that and compare those
[2:53:24] responsibilities of those job
[2:53:26] descriptions.
[2:53:27] now, I just want to-I'm sure you
[2:53:31] have noted that the counselor
[2:53:34] job description is quite
[2:53:37] out-dated as per the date.
[2:53:41] I don't know how often you look
[2:53:43] at the job description, but in
[2:53:46] looking and reviewing the roles
[2:53:49] and responsibilities, I need you
[2:53:52] need to take a good look at
[2:53:54] that.
[2:53:55] also, I will pose the question,
[2:53:56] I understand ric's were
[2:53:59] introduced to the district, 2, 3
[2:54:01] years ago.
[2:54:02] where is the job description?
[2:54:04] I find it very difficult to
[2:54:05] understand that a employee in
[2:54:08] such capacity would not have a
[2:54:10] job description, unless I fail
[2:54:12] to see it on the website.
[2:54:14] thank you and have a good
[2:54:15] evening and dr. Mccoy, I have 11
[2:54:17] seconds.
[2:54:18] congratulations and the best to
[2:54:19] you and your new endeavor.

[2:54:56] next slide, please.
[2:55:00] refer to my notes.
[2:55:05] our good news continues into the
[2:55:06] summer and we were recently
[2:55:09] alerted that we have two teach
[2:55:13] democracy 2026 multimedia

[2:55:58] and seal of civic engagement to

[2:56:07] the student and thank you to
[2:56:11] rico and all the teachers who
[2:56:12] supported the kids through civic
[2:56:14] engagement.
[2:56:16] I know all got the participate
[2:56:20] first week in june late may and
[2:56:22] I think if we count them up we
[2:56:24] were up to 17 graduation
[2:56:28] ceremonies we conducted this
[2:56:29] year, including our adult
[2:56:32] education students.
[2:56:33] it was just a wonderful time.
[2:56:35] I was able to attend several
[2:56:38] graduations and book-ended
[2:56:41] anacapa adult transition with
[2:56:43] oxnard adult school.
[2:56:45] we had a gentlemen who I believe
[2:56:48] I can't remember the numbers, 69
[2:56:51] years old receiving his ged and
[2:56:53] just give an amazing graduation
[2:56:55] speech, so we are so excited for
[2:56:58] our graduates from 17 to 69
[2:57:03] years old and great work by our
[2:57:05] site staff, ground folks and
[2:57:08] operation folks making each
[2:57:11] ceremony look amazing and the
[2:57:12] students speeches this year were
[2:57:15] outstanding.
[2:57:16] thank you to everybody for all
[2:57:18] your good work and that is more
[2:57:19] then 3900 students graduating
[2:57:21] from oxnard union this month.
[2:57:24] next slide, please.
[2:57:28] continuing with the good news, I
[2:57:31] want to be the first to thank
[2:57:34] the fiscal team and they are
[2:57:35] here to present for your
[2:57:37] consideration a positive adopted
[2:57:38] budget.
[2:57:40] this has been a huge teamwork
[2:57:42] throughout the school year and
[2:57:43] that starts with our employees,
[2:57:45] our union partners, our fiscal
[2:57:48] team, our administrative team,
[2:57:51] everybody pulling in the same
[2:57:52] direction to address the issues
[2:57:55] of revenue decline through
[2:57:57] declining enrollment, everybody
[2:58:00] working hard to preserve as many
[2:58:02] jobs as possible including this
[2:58:04] job is to be thanked for that.
[2:58:06] we are really thankful to end
[2:58:09] the year on positive net with
[2:58:11] positive adopted budget and just
[2:58:13] so--hear this more in the
[2:58:15] report, this budget was positive
[2:58:17] without the influx of new money
[2:58:19] from the governor.
[2:58:20] we had gotten to a positive
[2:58:22] budget and now there are new
[2:58:24] income streams coming in.
[2:58:25] the cola is settling in at about
[2:58:29] 3.8 percent.
[2:58:30] we heard it was be as high as
[2:58:34] 4.3 but the best number we have
[2:58:36] today is 3.8 which is over the
[2:58:38] expense of 2 percent and that is
[2:58:40] ongoing money which is great
[2:58:42] news.
[2:58:43] we stand to receive significant
[2:58:44] amount.
[2:58:45] the dollar amount isn't
[2:58:46] finalized in another one time
[2:58:47] student support professional
[2:58:49] development block grant.
[2:58:51] that number will be finalized
[2:58:53] probably in the june 30 final
[2:58:55] adopted state budget but it
[2:58:57] looks to be significant for
[2:58:58] oxnard union.
[2:59:00] again, fiscal discipline this
[2:59:02] year included implementing new
[2:59:04] over time procedures pay roll
[2:59:07] approval form and this budget
[2:59:08] presents--I don't know if you
[2:59:11] want to quote the number, 2
[2:59:13] million, $3 million in contract
[2:59:16] savings or more?
[2:59:17] we looked at every contract and
[2:59:19] every outside provider and for
[2:59:21] example on consent tonight there
[2:59:23] is a couple item related to
[2:59:25] special ed counseling.
[2:59:27] the updated special council
[2:59:31] saving more then $2 million
[2:59:33] alone so we think all the
[2:59:35] contracts looked at probably
[2:59:36] saving north of 4 to $5 million
[2:59:39] on going money.
[2:59:40] that means teachers looking at
[2:59:43] software programs and special
[2:59:44] education working to look at
[2:59:47] counseling costs and it is
[2:59:49] really a testament to everyone's
[2:59:55] hard work.
[2:59:56] our budget is built on the
[2:59:57] budget stabilization plan that
[2:59:59] the board passed, which does
[3:00:02] include future personnel
[3:00:03] reductions.
[3:00:04] those can be addressed in
[3:00:05] different ways, but those are
[3:00:07] included in the savings over
[3:00:09] time as we continue to work
[3:00:12] through declining enrollment and
[3:00:13] the subsequent declining income.
[3:00:15] so, one challenge ahead for the
[3:00:17] new superintendent and the board
[3:00:20] is to measure, yes we have new
[3:00:21] income sources, but we also have
[3:00:23] to continue to be have fiscal
[3:00:25] discipline and stay the course
[3:00:27] when it comes to the budget
[3:00:29] stabilization plan.
[3:00:30] I can't thank the fiscal team
[3:00:31] enough and you will hear from
[3:00:33] them tonight.
[3:00:34] next slide, please.
[3:00:38] for public comment, any member
[3:00:39] of the public wishing to address
[3:00:44] the board may do so.
[3:00:47] speakers are allowed three
[3:00:49] minutes to address the board on
[3:00:50] each item and with board consent
[3:00:52] the president may increase or
[3:00:54] decrease the time for public
[3:00:56] presentation.
[3:00:58] refer to the board policy 9323
[3:01:02] meeting conduct.
[3:01:03] held in person at district
[3:01:05] office 1800 solar drive oxnard
[3:01:07] and due to the brown act the
[3:01:10] board cannot respond directly to
[3:01:11] public comment but can direct
[3:01:13] superintendent and staff to meet
[3:01:14] with members of the public to
[3:01:15] better understand and hear their
[3:01:17] concerns and points of view.
[3:01:19] and next slide, please.
[3:01:21] thank you everybody.
[3:01:22] that is the superintendent's
[3:01:23] report for june 24, 2026.
[3:01:26] (applause)
[3:01:30] >> thank you dr. Mccoy.
[3:01:32] does anyone have comments they
[3:01:34] would like to make at this time
[3:01:35] since we reorganized a little
[3:01:37] bit and the meeting will go out
[3:01:38] of order.
[3:01:39] we have something for you dr.
[3:01:40] mccoy.
[3:01:52] >> you guys are way too kind.
[3:01:58] >> just back story.
[3:01:59] when you informed us of your new
[3:02:03] adventures we have come together
[3:02:06] to think of different ways to
[3:02:07] honor you and celebrate your
[3:02:09] work so some students cte
[3:02:15] program with wood working made
[3:02:17] you that wonderful varsity
[3:02:19] letterman jacket to hang and
[3:02:21] trustee botello lopez organized
[3:02:27] the choice between the ring and
[3:02:29] letterman jacket and dr. Kelsen
[3:02:32] helped with the final thing,
[3:02:33] which is I asked that the art
[3:02:35] students from all of the high
[3:02:37] schools and all the art
[3:02:38] departments had a opportunity to
[3:02:42] contribute to something for you
[3:02:43] to hang in your home or next
[3:02:45] office and so I really haven't
[3:02:47] laid on them.
[3:02:48] only seen pictures, so thank you
[3:02:50] to dr. Kelsen and all of the
[3:02:52] students who helped make this
[3:02:53] artwork possible.
[3:02:55] this is a representation that is
[3:02:57] from the kids.
[3:02:59] this is really from the students
[3:03:00] and so we want to honor you with
[3:03:02] two pieces.
[3:03:09] if you can take off the bow
[3:03:11] maybe.
[3:03:12] I will help you.
[3:03:14] >> save the bow.
[3:03:15] >> I do want everyone to have
[3:03:17] the opportunity to see them.
[3:03:20] >> that is hueneme high school.
[3:03:25] >> where dr. Mccoy started his
[3:03:26] career with oxnard union high
[3:03:28] school district back in the day
[3:03:29] and so again, all of the student
[3:03:31] had a opportunity to participate
[3:03:33] and they designed the artwork
[3:03:35] themselves, so this is-
[3:03:36] >> I think our engineering
[3:03:39] program [inaudible]
[3:03:44] >> and then this one and again I
[3:03:48] haven't seen these either.
[3:03:50] this is a little different.
[3:03:53] they made their way to different
[3:03:54] art departments at different
[3:03:56] high schools.
[3:03:58] >> rio mesa shout out.
[3:04:00] very cool.
[3:04:02] thank you guys.
[3:04:03] >> something for you to take
[3:04:04] with you and want you to always
[3:04:06] remember oxnard union and every
[3:04:08] day thinking about all the
[3:04:10] amazing things you have done.
[3:04:12] >> thank you so much.
[3:04:13] appreciate it.
[3:04:14] (applause)
[3:04:16] >> maybe we can put them it
[3:04:18] below so the audience has a
[3:04:20] opportunity to see them.
[3:04:22] I thought that would be really
[3:04:23] nice.
[3:04:24] thank you to all the amazing
[3:04:25] students and faculty and dr.
[3:04:27] kelsen who helped arrange that
[3:04:30] and make it happen and honoring
[3:04:31] you and will honor with more
[3:04:33] words later on.
[3:04:34] dont think you are getting out
[3:04:35] of here that easily.
[3:04:38] okay.
[3:04:39] now, consent calendar.
[3:04:42] I think trustee baker torres did
[3:04:44] you have an adjustment to make?
[3:04:47] >> I would like to-I had pulled
[3:04:50] item tt, but as tim allison
[3:04:56] said, it will be brought back
[3:04:57] for second reading and that was
[3:04:58] my only question.
[3:04:59] I just wanted to confirm that.
[3:05:02] I will also take away item ww
[3:05:06] because I had a couple questions
[3:05:08] regarding what staff was-what
[3:05:12] was their thoughts on this.
[3:05:13] we can pull both of them.
[3:05:15] thank you tim for your answers.
[3:05:18] >> I want to be clear, from the
[3:05:23] consent calendar, trustee
[3:05:25] flores-haro asked to pull 12 a
[3:05:27] and ff and has read her piece
[3:05:30] about that.
[3:05:31] and then trustee baker torres
[3:05:33] the one you would like to have
[3:05:34] still pulled for discussion is
[3:05:36] kk?
[3:05:37] >> yes.
[3:05:38] that is correct.
[3:05:39] >> trustee botello lopez are you
[3:05:42] willing to amend the motion?
[3:05:43] >> yes, I amend the motion.
[3:05:45] >> we don't need to take a vote?
[3:05:47] >> you need to approve the
[3:05:48] consent now with k only-

[3:06:08] >> okay.

[3:06:11] as the consent item is
[3:06:18] presented?
[3:06:21] >> I amend the motion.
[3:06:24] >> mr. Sturgeon do you know who
[3:06:26] seconded the consent calendar?
[3:06:29] >> [inaudible]
[3:06:30] >> I believe it was-- first and
[3:06:34] second s. And you amended the
[3:06:37] motion.
[3:06:38] at this point, any other
[3:06:39] comments or questions?
[3:06:41] >> let me help clarify so the
[3:06:43] board is going to consider the
[3:06:44] question on approval of the
[3:06:46] consent calendar without the
[3:06:50] check referred to in item 12 a,
[3:06:55] without ff and without kk.
[3:06:58] that is the question before the
[3:06:59] board.

[3:07:44] of $12.128.75 and item ff.

[3:09:07] >> you want me to begin with kk?
[3:09:11] >> of course.
[3:09:12] that would be great.
[3:09:13] kk trustee baker torres asked to
[3:09:15] have pulled for question.
[3:09:16] dr. Mccoy.
[3:09:18] >> thank you.
[3:09:20] item kk consideration of
[3:09:22] approval of agreement between
[3:09:23] oxnard union high school and
[3:09:25] effective school solutions for
[3:09:27] mental health services for 26-27
[3:09:30] school year from special
[3:09:31] education funds effective school
[3:10:51] I know that dr. Kelsen was the
[3:10:56] primary person on this contract.
[3:11:00] happy to take your questions.
[3:11:02] >> I'm glad you are back.
[3:11:04] >> let's have a motion really
[3:11:05] quick.
[3:11:06] is there a motion to approve?
[3:11:10] I make the motion.
[3:11:11] >> second.
[3:11:13] >> thank you.
[3:11:14] first and second.
[3:11:15] any comments or questions?
[3:11:16] trustee baker torres.
[3:11:19] >> the agreement states that it
[3:11:20] is a cost of $12 thousand per
[3:11:23] month, so I'm assuming this is
[3:11:26] for is it three full time
[3:11:30] clinicians for 11 months?
[3:11:36] >> yes.
[3:11:37] the contract needs to cover the
[3:11:38] time when students are receiving
[3:11:42] service.
[3:11:43] >> okay.
[3:11:45] I figured $12 thousand divided
[3:11:49] by 396.
[3:11:50] 11 months for 3.
[3:11:51] I wanted to make sure that-what
[3:11:54] specific schools will these
[3:11:55] clinicians be assigned to?
[3:11:57] and approximately how many
[3:11:59] students are expected to be
[3:12:01] served?
[3:12:02] >> thank you.
[3:12:04] we are partnering with effective
[3:12:06] school solutions to provide
[3:12:07] services called coeds.
[3:12:10] the services are tier 2, tier 3
[3:12:18] in terms of intensity and many
[3:12:20] students and families receive
[3:12:21] services whether they are in a
[3:12:25] non public school, whether they
[3:12:27] are preparing to return to a
[3:12:31] district comprehensive high
[3:12:33] school or one of the smaller
[3:12:36] campuses.
[3:12:37] so, we have this year 37
[3:12:40] students who receive
[3:12:42] coed services across the
[3:12:43] district.
[3:12:44] we estimate the number will be
[3:12:46] similar next year and as we
[3:12:48] complete transition iep we know
[3:12:52] exactly the number, assuming it
[3:12:55] stays pretty steady throughout
[3:12:56] the year.
[3:12:57] >> perfect.
[3:12:58] thank you.
[3:12:59] and then my last question, for
[3:13:00] item gg, which was city impact
[3:13:03] and this item, kk, has the
[3:13:06] district considered if it would
[3:13:08] be more cost effective building
[3:13:10] our own in-house mental health
[3:13:12] services which would include the
[3:13:15] license therapist, counselor,
[3:13:16] social workers, other mental
[3:13:18] health professionals rather then
[3:13:19] contracting out with all these
[3:13:21] multiple agencies?
[3:13:24] >> I think what we are doing
[3:13:26] here in year one, so this was
[3:13:28] previously a contract with
[3:13:30] ventura county office of
[3:13:32] education for 1.3 to $1.5
[3:13:34] million.
[3:13:36] >> the coed contract to loan,
[3:13:37] yes.
[3:13:38] >> so, with this contract we are
[3:13:40] cutting about 55 to 60 percent
[3:13:45] of the current year cost going
[3:13:46] into next year.
[3:13:47] one of the challenges and also
[3:13:50] with city impact support as well
[3:13:52] is, there is a very small number
[3:13:55] of these folks that are out and
[3:13:58] about, and whether they come as
[3:14:01] certificated or classified, it
[3:14:03] is difficult for us to reach the
[3:14:05] competitive price points for
[3:14:07] these type of higher end
[3:14:10] counseling services, so the
[3:14:11] district goal this year in which
[3:14:12] we achieved was to save upwards
[3:14:15] of 2 and a half million on the
[3:14:20] contract to new contract
[3:14:21] proposal with city impact and
[3:14:23] effective school solutions and I
[3:14:25] think in year one of these two
[3:14:27] new providers, outside of vcoe,
[3:14:31] the special ed staff and dr.
[3:14:33] kelsen are going to be
[3:14:35] monitoring if the service and
[3:14:37] performance is the same then the
[3:14:39] savings is a true value and then
[3:14:41] we can look at drafting job
[3:14:43] descriptions, but again, as you
[3:14:45] know, sometimes with
[3:14:48] occupational therapist, speech
[3:14:49] language therapist, asl
[3:14:53] interpreters the market is super
[3:14:55] tight.
[3:14:56] one reason we didn't recommend
[3:14:58] that course of action is we
[3:14:59] didn't know we are able to staff
[3:15:00] to the point to serve the 37
[3:15:03] students with coeds and iep.
[3:15:06] >> but if it looks like after
[3:15:08] the first year it looks good
[3:15:11] then you will look into if it
[3:15:13] would be cost effective?
[3:15:14] >> I don't want to put new
[3:15:15] things in a future
[3:15:16] superintendent's in basket but
[3:15:19] what I say is, what we have done
[3:15:23] with these type of positions in
[3:15:24] the past is draft a job
[3:15:25] description and see if we can
[3:15:26] start with someone and then
[3:15:30] slowly transition into the
[3:15:32] number of people we would really
[3:15:36] need to run the program
[3:15:37] effectively.
[3:15:39] >> okay.
[3:15:40] thank you.
[3:15:41] >> just noting we have a lot of
[3:15:42] renewals and contracts under
[3:15:45] special education and I think it
[3:15:46] has to be noted that there is a
[3:15:47] lot of external partnerships you
[3:15:50] can say dr. Mccoy with different
[3:15:53] programs or just entities we
[3:15:56] need to serve our students with
[3:15:57] disabilities and I know it
[3:15:59] crosses all our campuses but it
[3:16:01] looks like and there is a large
[3:16:03] price tag but that included in
[3:16:06] the iep so love for us in the
[3:16:09] future see the programming and
[3:16:11] different job descriptions
[3:16:12] coming in, but grateful and
[3:16:14] happy we have these individuals
[3:16:15] that we can lean on.
[3:16:17] thank you for thinking ahead and
[3:16:18] pulling away from vcoe and
[3:16:20] seeing what we could do to
[3:16:21] really price-point and budget
[3:16:24] better for oxnard union and I
[3:16:26] think the superintendent report
[3:16:27] thank you mr. Urias and anna
[3:16:30] campbell and team are working
[3:16:32] diligently and see it between
[3:16:34] like the invisible data or these
[3:16:37] agenda items, so appreciate it
[3:16:39] and seeing we are still
[3:16:40] supporting all our students with
[3:16:41] disabilities because that is our
[3:16:44] mission and vision.
[3:16:46] >> thank you.
[3:16:47] any other comments or questions?
[3:16:51] we have a first and second and
[3:16:54] will call the question.
[3:16:55] trustee flores-haro.
[3:16:57] >> before you call the question,
[3:16:58] wanted to underscore, as one
[3:17:00] trustee, if we get to that point
[3:17:02] I welcome us to in-house that
[3:17:05] type of mental health program
[3:17:07] and offering.
[3:17:08] I know it is difficult for that
[3:17:10] hiring piece, but wouldn't it be
[3:17:13] wonderful to do that?
[3:17:14] I had conversations outside of
[3:17:16] my scope as trustee and with my
[3:17:19] non profit with [inaudible]
[3:17:20] around the medi-cal billing
[3:17:22] piece, so I don't can know what
[3:17:24] we have done, but welcome
[3:17:26] conversations with new
[3:17:27] superintendent on what that
[3:17:29] could look like at oxnard union.
[3:17:31] thank you.
[3:17:32] >> thank you.
[3:17:33] I would agree for the record.
[3:17:34] you have a very supportive board
[3:17:35] with regard to bringing
[3:17:36] something like that in-house.
[3:17:37] any other comments or questions?
[3:17:40] okay.
[3:17:41] all in favor say aye.
[3:17:44] any opposed please say no.
[3:17:47] abstentions?

[3:17:56] okay.
[3:17:58] moving on to the consent
[3:18:02] calendar.

[3:18:25] require each district
[3:18:26] superintendent to prepare and
[3:18:27] submit interim financial
[3:19:11] presented. And tonight we have
[3:19:29] anna campbell director of fiscal
[3:19:31] services and zachary our fiscal
[3:19:34] compliance supervisor to present
[3:19:36] the budget this evening.
[3:19:38] >> thank you mr. Urias.
[3:19:41] >> good evening.
[3:19:43] we'll present the 26-27 adopted
[3:19:45] budget and I'll have our fiscal
[3:19:47] compliance superintendent zach
[3:19:49] do the heavy lifting for you
[3:19:51] tonight.
[3:19:52] >> thank you.
[3:19:53] welcome.
[3:19:54] thank you for all your heavy
[3:19:55] lifting and hard work on behalf
[3:19:56] of the board.
[3:19:57] >> good evening.
[3:20:00] so, our first slide here is
[3:20:02] normal timeline we bring to you
[3:20:03] every interim budget.
[3:20:05] it is the adopted budget cycle
[3:20:08] here for june 2026.
[3:20:10] it is the first of six budget
[3:20:13] cycles for new fiscal year.
[3:20:15] it includes the budget estimates
[3:20:17] based on information and final
[3:20:19] details from the state of
[3:20:20] california during this specific
[3:20:22] period.
[3:20:23] as we move along, we have more
[3:20:26] information through september
[3:20:27] 15, which we can bring updates
[3:20:29] to that during the first interim
[3:20:30] budget coming up in december of
[3:20:33] this year.
[3:20:34] next slide, please.
[3:20:38] so, in the 2026-27 adopted
[3:20:42] budget, this looks different
[3:20:44] then our normal interims as we
[3:20:46] not only are bringing the
[3:20:47] adopted budget but have to bring
[3:20:49] the estimated actuals for 25-26.
[3:20:52] in the 26-27 adopted, we are
[3:20:54] looking at projected revenues,
[3:20:57] expenditures and staffing as
[3:20:58] well as reserves based on the
[3:21:04] state funding.
[3:21:05] estimated actual this is how we
[3:21:09] finished picture so the estimate
[3:21:11] of revenue, expenditure and most
[3:21:15] current data available from the
[3:21:16] third interim we brought last
[3:21:18] meeting.
[3:21:19] this is our budget progress and
[3:21:20] it includes any updates going
[3:21:22] forward.
[3:21:24] next slide, please.
[3:21:30] so, this slide we are looking at
[3:21:32] our adopted budget revenue
[3:21:35] unrestricted versus restricted
[3:21:37] totals.
[3:21:38] we have $250 million under
[3:21:41] unrestricted which is part of
[3:21:42] the lcff revenue.
[3:21:45] we also have our federal
[3:21:47] revenues under restricted of 10
[3:21:49] million, $36 million under state
[3:21:55] and other local revenues of 17.
[3:21:58] if you notice we do have $36
[3:22:00] million as projected revenue
[3:22:03] under other state revenues.
[3:22:05] it is higher then normal because
[3:22:07] we have the projected $12
[3:22:08] million coming from the state
[3:22:10] and one time funding.
[3:22:13] in total projecting $325 million
[3:22:17] in revenue for fiscal year
[3:22:20] 26-27.
[3:22:21] the lcff takes around 77 percent
[3:22:23] of the total revenue for the
[3:22:24] district.
[3:22:26] 325 is compared to 311 we
[3:22:31] receive this year in 25-26.
[3:22:35] in this budget it includes the
[3:22:38] statutory cola, which is 2.87
[3:22:41] percent and super cola of 1.44
[3:22:47] percent.
[3:22:48] we have to continue looking at
[3:22:49] decline in enrollment through
[3:22:51] 2030-31 and focus on attendance
[3:22:53] and attendance recovery in this
[3:22:56] adopted budget.
[3:22:58] major differences between what
[3:22:59] we bring now versus what we
[3:23:01] brought last time is we have
[3:23:02] added the super cola of 1.44
[3:23:06] approved june 15 update from the
[3:23:08] state.
[3:23:09] as well as the unfunded
[3:23:11] pregnancy disability leave that
[3:23:14] came starting 7-1-26.
[3:23:17] we also got additional sped
[3:23:21] funding.
[3:23:22] we are happy for that as it
[3:23:23] helps our programs as well.
[3:23:26] reiterating one time state grant
[3:23:27] of the projected $12 million
[3:23:29] that will be coming to us.
[3:23:32] next slide, please.
[3:23:36] this is just another look at the
[3:23:38] same information from the
[3:23:39] previous slide.
[3:23:41] we want to point out that the
[3:23:43] lcff is the biggest chunk of
[3:23:47] revenue and what funds most of
[3:23:49] the things that go on around the
[3:23:51] district.
[3:23:52] that is roughly 77 or more
[3:23:54] percent of overall revenue
[3:23:55] comparatively to the other state
[3:23:57] and federal local dollars we
[3:23:59] also receive.
[3:24:00] next slide, please.
[3:24:07] so, as we take a switch from
[3:24:09] looking revenues to looking at
[3:24:12] expenditures for 26-27 adopted
[3:24:16] budget, one of the biggest areas
[3:24:19] is certificated and classified
[3:24:20] salaries and benefits.
[3:24:22] we are projecting $256.7 million
[3:24:26] in total cost of certificated
[3:24:28] salaries.
[3:24:29] we also have the $6 million in
[3:24:32] books and supplies between
[3:24:34] restricted and unrestricted and
[3:24:36] $47 million in services and
[3:24:38] other operating expenditures. Of
[3:24:40] the $311 million of expenditures
[3:24:43] projected, 83 percent is related
[3:24:46] to salary and benefits.
[3:24:47] in the other operating side,b
[3:24:50] things like transportation cost,
[3:24:52] athletics software, maintenance
[3:24:54] utilities and insurance, all
[3:24:57] make up the 6 million and $47
[3:24:59] million the district has.
[3:25:01] just like the previous slide, we
[3:25:03] wanted to talk about the cola we
[3:25:05] received, 2.87 with the super
[3:25:08] cola we also get and then just
[3:25:10] continually watching decline in
[3:25:12] enrollment for 2030-31 and
[3:25:15] continuing that we focus on the
[3:25:17] attendance and attendance
[3:25:19] recovery portions.
[3:25:22] and then again we have our same
[3:25:23] major differences from now
[3:25:25] versus what we brought last
[3:25:26] time.
[3:25:28] next slide, please.
[3:25:34] so, as we look multi-year from
[3:25:37] 26-27 to 28-29, as we can we
[3:25:42] project $325 million in revenue
[3:25:45] as well as projecting $311
[3:25:48] million expenditures.
[3:25:50] and then if we look to 27-28 we
[3:25:52] see go from $325 million to 315
[3:25:57] and then our expenditures
[3:26:00] increase from $311 million to
[3:26:02] 317.
[3:26:03] and then the same pattern
[3:26:05] continues to 28-29.
[3:26:07] we have $319 million projected
[3:26:09] revenues as well as $323 million
[3:26:12] in projected expenditures so we
[3:26:14] just see a pattern through the
[3:26:16] years as the one time funding
[3:26:18] comes and we are spending it
[3:26:20] out.
[3:26:22] we want to focus on declining
[3:26:25] enrollment and a d a recovery
[3:26:27] and continued work towards
[3:26:28] future year deficit spending and
[3:26:34] plans for future years without
[3:26:36] one time funding.
[3:26:38] next slide, please.
[3:26:40] >> to summarize, our 26-27
[3:26:43] adopted budget, we are
[3:26:45] projecting currently that we
[3:26:46] will end unassigned undesignated
[3:26:51] balance in 26-27 of
[3:26:52] approximately $6 million.
[3:26:54] I put asterisk on that $6
[3:26:56] million as reflected in the
[3:26:58] previous slide, that is part of
[3:26:59] the one time funding increase in
[3:27:01] cola that we then project we
[3:27:03] will be spending in the two
[3:27:06] future years in order to smooth
[3:27:09] out expenditures because we will
[3:27:11] immediately deficit spend next
[3:27:13] year because we will no longer
[3:27:14] have a new pot of one time
[3:27:18] money.
[3:27:19] I wanted to make that note.
[3:27:20] for the grant and one time
[3:27:22] restricted balances we predict
[3:27:24] $9 million.
[3:27:26] our pregnancy disability leave
[3:27:28] act which we are happy about
[3:27:29] starts 7-1.
[3:27:30] I think we have employees who
[3:27:32] are about to be eligible in 6
[3:27:34] days.
[3:27:35] the super cola provided the
[3:27:38] district with $3.4 million that
[3:27:40] is potentially acting like a one
[3:27:43] time fund and gives to us once
[3:27:47] and wants to integrate the plan
[3:27:48] into the district so I set it
[3:27:50] aside in the assigned reserves
[3:27:52] so we can look at it and talk
[3:27:53] about it.
[3:27:54] at this time, if the pattern of
[3:27:58] usage we are projecting maintain
[3:28:02] this will last a couple years
[3:28:03] and need to integrate the costs
[3:28:04] to the regular expenditure plan.
[3:28:07] so, just to keep that in your
[3:28:09] mind.
[3:28:10] we were also able to restore our
[3:28:12] summer school reserve as planned
[3:28:14] as we discussed which we are
[3:28:17] very very happy about and also
[3:28:19] able to restore the local
[3:28:21] economic reserve we are also
[3:28:22] happy about.
[3:28:23] we also took additional step as
[3:28:25] discuss would the board about
[3:28:27] reserves with one time funding
[3:28:29] and talking through our
[3:28:30] continued plans for future
[3:28:33] years, so we go ahead and put $5
[3:28:34] million extra dollars into that
[3:28:37] reserve.
[3:28:38] at this time, we may need that
[3:28:40] funding in the third year but we
[3:28:42] have the next couple years to
[3:28:43] continue that hard work of
[3:28:45] looking at different ways to
[3:28:46] deliver services in a now light.
[3:28:51] going through the software,
[3:28:54] finding wears to deliver the
[3:28:55] services for students just maybe
[3:28:58] with a different model or
[3:28:59] different method.
[3:29:01] we are going to continue that
[3:29:02] work with the board and staff
[3:29:04] and with the district so we just
[3:29:06] put that money into that pot if
[3:29:08] we need it we need it and if
[3:29:11] able to preserve it and bolster
[3:29:13] our reserve in the long run,
[3:29:14] that will help the district in a
[3:29:17] variety of aspects, including
[3:29:19] things such as borrowing cash
[3:29:22] every year because we don't have
[3:29:23] reserves that support us with
[3:29:26] that, all the other actions we
[3:29:27] are taking in the short run in
[3:29:30] order to address those needs.
[3:29:31] so, we were able to make a
[3:29:33] deposit that then will come back
[3:29:35] to the board with discussion in
[3:29:37] the future.
[3:29:39] our last two items is warehouse
[3:29:42] stores, this is just the value
[3:29:43] of the pencil we talk about in
[3:29:45] the warehouse we have to keep a
[3:29:47] reserve for, and then because
[3:29:49] our expenditures are projected
[3:29:51] to be higher next year that also
[3:29:53] increased the 3 percent reserve.
[3:29:55] we are at $9.6 million for
[3:30:00] reserve for 26-27 out year.
[3:30:02] next slide, please.
[3:30:04] and then back to our budget
[3:30:06] cycle.
[3:30:07] we of course will wait for the
[3:30:08] governor and legislature to
[3:30:09] finish their negotiations and
[3:30:11] trailer bills they have until
[3:30:16] september 15.
[3:30:20] we do not have updates on one
[3:30:22] time money.
[3:30:23] we will most likely have to
[3:30:25] update first interim in
[3:30:27] december.
[3:30:28] we will be looking forward to
[3:30:29] anything else that comes out of
[3:30:31] the state in order to bring that
[3:30:33] to you.
[3:30:34] last slide, please.
[3:30:35] thank you.
[3:30:36] if there are questions we are
[3:30:38] happy to answer questions and
[3:30:39] appreciate all the hard work
[3:30:40] that everyone has put into
[3:30:42] making us positive and moving
[3:30:44] forward in a positive way and
[3:30:46] taking that little of pressure
[3:30:48] off so we can continue the hard
[3:30:50] work and conversations we need
[3:30:52] to have, but with just that
[3:30:53] little less pressure, which I
[3:30:55] appreciate immensely.
[3:30:57] >> lot less pressure.
[3:30:58] >> yes.
[3:30:59] >> thank you.
[3:31:00] any questions at this time?
[3:31:02] trustee baker torres.
[3:31:15] >> I will start by saying, under
[3:31:16] the fiscal implications on the
[3:31:19] first page you talk about the
[3:31:22] subsequent years reflect a
[3:31:24] surplus allowing--
[3:31:26] >> yes.
[3:31:27] >> doesn't this show-unless I
[3:31:30] read it wrong, which is quite
[3:31:33] possible the expenditures are
[3:31:35] more then the revenues on year
[3:31:37] 27-28 and 28-29.
[3:31:39] >> yes.
[3:31:41] >> we are getting in a bunch of
[3:31:42] one time money and got increase
[3:31:44] and not turning down a dime of
[3:31:47] it.
[3:31:48] we will get all that money in
[3:31:49] and not spend all this year but
[3:31:52] next year our expenditures will
[3:31:55] exceed but we will have a little
[3:31:58] extra money.
[3:32:04] we need that as we deficit spend
[3:32:07] next year and the following year
[3:32:12] is the same.
[3:32:13] it gives breathing room, but we
[3:32:15] are going to be deficit
[3:32:16] responding in that next two
[3:32:17] years and it will be drawing the
[3:32:19] money down when we run out that
[3:32:21] money we'll be in the position
[3:32:23] again where those decisions come
[3:32:26] hard and fast, which is why we
[3:32:28] prefer to have those
[3:32:29] conversations now and to
[3:32:30] continue this work to continue
[3:32:32] the reductions we have been
[3:32:33] working because we don't want
[3:32:36] that to come as fast as it felt
[3:32:39] this last time.
[3:32:40] >> okay.
[3:32:49] >> we are not going to have a
[3:32:51] surplus then, correct?
[3:32:52] >> it is technically a surplus
[3:32:54] coming from old years while we
[3:32:56] deficit spend it, so we are
[3:32:58] spending it down.
[3:32:59] it is a I understand that is a
[3:33:01] confusing--
[3:33:02] >> if you say it is surplus, I
[3:33:04] believe you.
[3:33:06] >> we are positive and have
[3:33:07] money at the bottom of the
[3:33:09] balance.
[3:33:10] it is just coming from older
[3:33:11] years, so we will be deficit
[3:33:15] spending the money down.
[3:33:16] >> the next question, on the
[3:33:21] page-you have couple times, page
[3:33:23] 5 and 7.
[3:33:24] it says there is the $12 million
[3:33:28] grant funding.
[3:33:29] >> yes.
[3:33:30] >> how much of the $12 million
[3:33:36] supports expenditures and what
[3:33:38] happens when the funds are done.
[3:33:42] >> excellent question.
[3:33:43] now we are in discussion to put
[3:33:46] towards compensation $5 million
[3:33:48] that to address furlough
[3:33:52] conversations and other issues.
[3:33:56] this $12 million is a estimate
[3:33:59] and the remainder of the money
[3:34:00] we immediately look at next year
[3:34:03] that is deficit spending to try
[3:34:06] to maintain programs as we work
[3:34:08] through the long-term reduction
[3:34:09] goals, so it will be there.
[3:34:11] if we are able to achieve larger
[3:34:14] savings in the long-term
[3:34:15] reduction goals, then that money
[3:34:18] may become available for other
[3:34:19] uses so may still be available,
[3:34:21] but I can't make those
[3:34:23] decisions, the board makes those
[3:34:24] decisions.
[3:34:25] I am leaving that for the board.
[3:34:27] >> of course.
[3:34:29] >> I have a related question to
[3:34:31] this $12 million and the one
[3:34:33] time grant funded spending.
[3:34:37] not right now, but in the
[3:34:39] future, could staff provide a
[3:34:41] schedule showing when the one
[3:34:43] time funding sources are going
[3:34:44] to sunset, and as part that,
[3:34:48] unless you know now, what
[3:34:50] portion of our current staffing
[3:34:51] is supported by this temporary
[3:34:53] funding?
[3:34:54] >> so, by sunset do you mean
[3:34:57] when I will run out of it?
[3:34:59] or do you mean by which I have a
[3:35:00] timeline when we have to address
[3:35:02] it by?
[3:35:04] two different-
[3:35:05] >> maybe-for example, my non
[3:35:09] profit brain.
[3:35:10] for us when we have a grant
[3:35:12] usually there is a grant period
[3:35:13] so grant terms and ends.
[3:35:16] >> performance period is-
[3:35:18] >> your performance period is my
[3:35:22] grant period so is it possible
[3:35:24] to get a schedule of when the
[3:35:26] one time monies run out and what
[3:35:28] portion of the current staff is
[3:35:29] supported by the temporary
[3:35:30] funding?
[3:35:31] >> the current year 25-26 has
[3:35:34] about $4 million worth of
[3:35:39] staffing supported in current
[3:35:41] one time, so those people will
[3:35:43] then immediately transfer to one
[3:35:45] time again next year for 26-27,
[3:35:49] but we do have like every day
[3:35:51] someone retires, matt tells me I
[3:35:55] guess to maybe get through
[3:35:57] tomorrow and then so that comes
[3:35:59] like right off that one time
[3:36:01] fund.
[3:36:02] I can give you a schedule with a
[3:36:03] estimated spend-out is probably
[3:36:05] what you are after.
[3:36:07] >> I would say no.
[3:36:08] thank you.
[3:36:09] >> no problem.
[3:36:15] >> on page 8, it has other state
[3:36:17] revenues.
[3:36:18] this year or the 26-27, so next
[3:36:22] year, the $41 million and at
[3:36:26] 28-29 it goes down to 27.
[3:36:29] >> yep.
[3:36:30] >> which programs or what is
[3:36:32] ending on those?
[3:36:33] >> one time money is only coming
[3:36:35] 26-27 once and we are
[3:36:37] immediately coming back down to
[3:36:39] lower revenues.
[3:36:40] so, that is part of the are we
[3:36:43] able to sustain it or spend over
[3:36:45] multiple years or make other
[3:36:47] reductions.
[3:36:48] that is part of the overall
[3:36:50] conversation as we get the money
[3:36:52] once.
[3:36:55] >> what that speaks to is the
[3:36:56] issue at the state.
[3:36:58] when the one time money is one
[3:37:01] time because they shorted prop
[3:37:03] 98, the actual $900 per student
[3:37:06] ongoing revenue and so the
[3:37:10] state's put us in this position
[3:37:12] and this current budget and next
[3:37:15] budget year where instead of
[3:37:17] applying the statutory
[3:37:19] california constitution approved
[3:37:23] floor they shorted the floor and
[3:37:25] said we'll give to you one time
[3:37:27] because we have it right now,
[3:37:28] but not ongoing and so the
[3:37:30] things you are pointing out are
[3:37:33] greatly effected by the
[3:37:36] continued short of prop 98 to
[3:37:38] local districts.
[3:37:39] for example, instead of $12
[3:37:41] million in one time, we would
[3:37:44] have received $12 million or
[3:37:48] more ongoing we could then apply
[3:37:50] through those years in addition
[3:37:51] to putting in reserves.
[3:37:54] all local districts are
[3:37:56] navigating the one time payments
[3:37:59] and they make it enticing
[3:38:01] because the number is healthy,
[3:38:02] but the exact problem you noted
[3:38:04] is that we don't know if we are
[3:38:06] getting another infusion of one
[3:38:08] time a year from now, so we have
[3:38:09] to mark this one time to cover
[3:38:11] costs through declining
[3:38:12] enrollment for the next three
[3:38:13] years.
[3:38:15] >> I think you experience that
[3:38:17] maybe more viscerally 23-24, we
[3:38:21] got $23 million one time and we
[3:38:24] expended it and it was gone and
[3:38:26] then so we are getting this kind
[3:38:27] of whip lash if you will and to
[3:38:31] dr. Mccoy's point, the districts
[3:38:34] are not super excited and not
[3:38:36] going to turn down money, but it
[3:38:38] makes it hard to plan, makes
[3:38:40] hard to long-term decisions,b it
[3:38:42] turns us into this more reactive
[3:38:46] kind of response and so and that
[3:38:48] becomes difficulty.
[3:38:50] that is why we advocate like
[3:38:52] this feels like a breath of
[3:38:54] fresh air and not saying it
[3:38:56] isn't, but if we don't continue
[3:38:57] the conversations if this isn't
[3:38:59] going come back, we'll get
[3:39:01] caught off guard in that out
[3:39:03] year because we will be that
[3:39:05] much lower.
[3:39:06] suddenly and that is what
[3:39:09] happened in 23, 24, they gave a
[3:39:12] bunch of money and it was gone.
[3:39:14] >> and my last question, where
[3:39:16] in here-I thought the reserve-I
[3:39:20] was looking for the unit share
[3:39:22] reserve, but I don't thought
[3:39:24] that was that local reserve, but
[3:39:27] I guess-where is unit share
[3:39:29] reserve shown in here?
[3:39:30] >> so, my understanding with the
[3:39:32] unit share reserve as part that
[3:39:34] is in negotiations to address
[3:39:39] furloughs so in conservation.
[3:39:42] >> the $5 million from the $12
[3:39:43] million isn't for the furlough
[3:39:47] days?
[3:39:48] >> it is combination of influxes
[3:39:51] of resources to address employee
[3:39:53] compensation.
[3:39:57] >> the $5 million set aside from
[3:39:59] the one time money that is
[3:40:00] coming to the district and
[3:40:04] that--I just don't want to make
[3:40:06] sure mr. Allison is okay saying
[3:40:09] this, there is a vote conducted
[3:40:11] of the oftsc the membership
[3:40:15] wanted to restore all three
[3:40:17] furlough days for next year so
[3:40:18] the 5.something million will
[3:40:21] cover that and there is
[3:40:23] specially bonus within that and
[3:40:25] then the unit share reserve is
[3:40:28] in conversation related to how
[3:40:31] the district and union are
[3:40:32] working together to cover
[3:40:33] retiree health benefit cost and
[3:40:35] that is ongoing conversation.
[3:40:38] that is also we want to be
[3:40:39] mindful something that is at the
[3:40:42] table very soon and don't want
[3:40:44] to negotiate away from the
[3:40:47] table.
[3:40:48] >> sorry tim.
[3:40:49] didn't mean to bring anything up
[3:40:52] I shouldn't have.
[3:40:53] >> are you set?
[3:40:54] >> yes.
[3:40:55] >> thank you.
[3:40:56] trustee botello lopez.
[3:40:57] >> I wanted to circle to a line
[3:40:59] item, which is age consideration
[3:41:01] of approval of letter support
[3:41:03] for extension of prop 54 in the
[3:41:05] tax.
[3:41:06] how does that tie in?
[3:41:07] >> absolutely.
[3:41:08] so, the prop 55 extension is
[3:41:11] that tax on top earners that
[3:41:13] california has put twice through
[3:41:16] at this point.
[3:41:17] this is our third time or second
[3:41:20] extension.
[3:41:21] if I can remember which prop I'm
[3:41:23] on.
[3:41:24] that is part that revenue
[3:41:25] funding into the state so the
[3:41:27] state is putting away reserves
[3:41:29] without that tax my impression
[3:41:30] is they will start drawing from
[3:41:32] reserves.
[3:41:33] they have other financial
[3:41:34] commitments we are already
[3:41:36] shorted in the regular funding.
[3:41:38] it is just going to put more
[3:41:40] financial pressure on the state
[3:41:41] which will then intern
[3:41:42] immediately put financial
[3:41:47] pressure on us because we are
[3:41:48] creatures of state funding.
[3:41:50] >> my other question was related
[3:41:52] to, del sol high school mulhart
[3:41:55] and partnership and monies that
[3:41:57] come back due to the contract.
[3:41:59] can you relate that back to the
[3:42:02] budget?
[3:42:03] >> yes.
[3:42:04] so, as part of the off site
[3:42:05] agreements which the board
[3:42:07] recently approved the third
[3:42:09] amendment so there is a very
[3:42:10] little out there with off site
[3:42:12] one stoplight and solar panel I
[3:42:14] think is what is left, the
[3:42:18] mulhart group is in entering
[3:42:21] third year with city oxnard
[3:42:24] navigating the planning process
[3:42:25] for development that is just
[3:42:26] north of del sol high school in
[3:42:28] the large open field.
[3:42:30] when that development is
[3:42:31] approved by the city to be sold
[3:42:33] to a developer by the mulharts
[3:42:37] the district is owed $55 percent
[3:42:40] of the off site improvement cost
[3:42:42] we estimate about $13 million
[3:42:45] and that money goes back into a
[3:42:47] construction related fund and so
[3:42:50] that money is we have a really
[3:42:53] great agreement with the
[3:42:54] mulhart's.
[3:42:56] they have been great partners
[3:42:58] throughout the del sol project
[3:42:59] in terms of taking-they know
[3:43:03] this is their responsibility and
[3:43:04] accountability and never shied
[3:43:06] away from it, so it is a matter
[3:43:09] of waiting for the development
[3:43:10] to have approval to proceed from
[3:43:12] oxnard which triggers our
[3:43:13] agreement for the district to be
[3:43:15] repaid that approximately 13.
[3:43:18] it might be little more by the
[3:43:19] time we finish calculating out
[3:43:22] all the cost, but that is where
[3:43:23] we are in that amount right now.
[3:43:26] >> thank you for that.
[3:43:27] and thank you for all your work.
[3:43:28] this was a huge lift this year
[3:43:30] so it is a relief to go to
[3:43:32] summer to finally finish on
[3:43:35] positive.
[3:43:36] that's a credit to you and the
[3:43:38] team so thank you for all your
[3:43:39] hard work.
[3:43:41] >> appreciate that.
[3:43:42] >> trustee baker torres.
[3:43:45] >> because this is bothering me.
[3:43:47] can you tell me, on the
[3:43:49] expenditures on page 8 at the
[3:43:51] last line it says, services and
[3:43:54] other operating expenditures.
[3:43:56] is that like utilities and-okay.
[3:43:59] that is what I assumed.
[3:44:01] >> I think zach made a list.
[3:44:03] utilities, insurance, our
[3:44:06] liability insurance I believe
[3:44:07] just went up 11 percent.
[3:44:10] we love that.
[3:44:12] he did made me a list.
[3:44:14] transportation for athletics,
[3:44:16] normal things, software
[3:44:19] maintenance.
[3:44:20] we also have to do anything that
[3:44:23] is not like directly in the
[3:44:24] classroom will end up here.
[3:44:26] the service agreements with our
[3:44:27] sped providers, all those things
[3:44:29] are in this grouping, so the
[3:44:30] grouping looks large.
[3:44:33] if you look it is split between
[3:44:34] restricted and unrestricted
[3:44:37] because grants are also doing
[3:44:38] things and have contracts with
[3:44:39] providers and doing tutoring and
[3:44:41] all that stuff that is all in
[3:44:43] that space.
[3:44:44] >> okay, thank you.
[3:44:45] >> it is like the kitchen sink a
[3:44:50] bit.
[3:44:54] >> thank you for all the work.
[3:44:56] it truly is a heavy lift to get
[3:44:58] us back to positive.
[3:44:59] I was thinking what is my
[3:45:04] instagram post going to be.
[3:45:06] so long the public is inundated
[3:45:08] about oxnard union and
[3:45:10] qualitative and drama.
[3:45:12] really happy to be able to
[3:45:15] report back out to our
[3:45:16] constituency about having a
[3:45:18] positive certification.
[3:45:20] here is my question and so it is
[3:45:22] two-parter.
[3:45:25] now we are showing positive
[3:45:26] certification and healthy
[3:45:27] reserves, but in your thoughts
[3:45:30] and open to mr. Urias and dr.
[3:45:32] mccoy as well, what are the top
[3:45:35] three financial risks that could
[3:45:37] cause us to fall out of
[3:45:38] structural balance over the next
[3:45:40] 3 years even with the budget
[3:45:42] stabilization plan, and what
[3:45:43] actions are we taking to
[3:45:44] mitigate those three risks?
[3:45:47] >> absolutely.
[3:45:48] if I am going first, I don't
[3:45:51] want to harp, but I have been
[3:45:55] harping for three years.
[3:45:57] there is so much federal
[3:45:59] instability and we didn't bring
[3:46:00] it up in this particular budget
[3:46:02] because I am a little burned out
[3:46:03] about it and couldn't handle it
[3:46:05] so that is a personal--that we
[3:46:08] are because the state of
[3:46:09] california filed a lawsuit the
[3:46:11] next day we are kind of taking a
[3:46:12] little breath pause but that to
[3:46:15] me is going to be number one.
[3:46:17] number two is general economic
[3:46:20] down-turn because we are so
[3:46:22] cyclical and dependent on income
[3:46:25] tax, because all the things
[3:46:27] happening in the world are
[3:46:29] causing so much economic
[3:46:31] distress.
[3:46:32] we are very very very sensitive
[3:46:33] to that, so that would be my
[3:46:37] personal second concern.
[3:46:38] I would say that probably keeps
[3:46:39] me awake the most.
[3:46:43] and then third I think is just I
[3:46:46] think we started the work and
[3:46:47] the work is hard, I think
[3:46:49] everyone has engaged in the work
[3:46:51] and as long as we continue the
[3:46:53] work I think it helps us be
[3:46:54] maybe more thoughtful and have
[3:46:56] more discussions and can spend
[3:46:58] more time diving deeper to
[3:46:59] topics and really decide who we
[3:47:01] want to be when we are smaller
[3:47:03] because we will be a smaller
[3:47:06] organization and I think that's
[3:47:08] really where the heart of the
[3:47:09] work is because we don't have
[3:47:10] control over the other things.
[3:47:12] that is my personal opinion and
[3:47:14] sorry I'm really burned out on
[3:47:17] the federal.
[3:47:18] it is really hard to-that is
[3:47:21] whip lash at different level.
[3:47:24] it is something different every
[3:47:27] day.
[3:47:28] that is where I see it but I
[3:47:29] think the district made as
[3:47:31] difficult as has been immense
[3:47:37] strides of coming of we will be
[3:47:41] smaller and a different
[3:47:43] organization and just coming to
[3:47:45] terms with that is hard.
[3:47:47] we are grieving in a way.
[3:47:51] >> thank you.
[3:47:52] >> I have a question comment and
[3:47:55] question.
[3:47:56] thank you.
[3:47:57] huge thank you.
[3:47:58] reiterate what the other
[3:47:59] trustees said.
[3:48:00] thank you dr. Mccoy and mr.
[3:48:02] urias and director campbell and
[3:48:05] can't remember your last name.
[3:48:08] sorry about that.
[3:48:09] thank you this is just has been
[3:48:11] a extraordinarily heavy lift for
[3:48:13] everybody for everyone, so thank
[3:48:16] you for your perseverance and
[3:48:18] your willingness to do the hard
[3:48:20] things as gently as possible.
[3:48:23] I do have a question about the
[3:48:28] paid pregnancy leave.
[3:48:30] >> yes.
[3:48:31] >> I want to give a shout out to
[3:48:33] california teacher association
[3:48:34] and secretary treasurer erica
[3:48:38] lynn jones.
[3:48:39] thank you to her because it is a
[3:48:41] long time coming.
[3:48:42] as a teacher myself, I had three
[3:48:45] children.
[3:48:46] we teachers for the public, you
[3:48:48] know but for the public,
[3:48:50] teachers pay for our substitutes
[3:48:53] when we have children and that
[3:48:54] isn't the case for men for
[3:48:56] example when they go on
[3:48:59] paternity leave it is different
[3:49:01] structure and women retire from
[3:49:04] teaching with about hundred
[3:49:07] thousand less in retirement then
[3:49:09] male counterparts, so it is a
[3:49:11] extraordinarily heavy burden in
[3:49:13] many ways and so I think it just
[3:49:15] incredible accomplishment that
[3:49:17] we have gotten here so I want to
[3:49:18] say thank you to my own labor
[3:49:21] organization for their tenacity.
[3:49:23] however, I do think it-you
[3:49:27] probably are thinking about it,
[3:49:28] but because we teachers we do
[3:49:30] not pay into state disability
[3:49:33] and so for those teachers who
[3:49:36] and for prior to now for example
[3:49:38] when I was pregnant and went on
[3:49:41] leave I was able to go out and
[3:49:44] collect disability because I
[3:49:45] have my own private disability
[3:49:47] insurance.
[3:49:50] I feel there is a connection
[3:49:51] that we need to make as district
[3:49:53] with our employees with regard
[3:49:55] to disability insurance.
[3:49:57] because we don't pay into the
[3:49:59] state system, but that doesn't
[3:50:00] mean we couldn't offer it.
[3:50:03] >> we do offer private third
[3:50:05] party, it is just expensive and
[3:50:07] I think the average person who
[3:50:10] is looking at it might be too
[3:50:12] much so last year we worked with
[3:50:15] cbo to offer another version
[3:50:17] more affordable and so we really
[3:50:19] tried to advertise that because
[3:50:21] we want to have our employees
[3:50:24] have what they need at an
[3:50:26] affordable price, so we have
[3:50:28] been working to push not only to
[3:50:33] offer that but other districts
[3:50:35] can join in so we were
[3:50:37] successful in that last year.
[3:50:38] this will go a long way also to
[3:50:40] help people because they are
[3:50:44] trying to use 6 or 7 different
[3:50:47] leave types.
[3:50:48] they are cobbling something
[3:50:50] together that makes it hard to
[3:50:51] make decisions and so this will
[3:50:53] streamline down into just it
[3:50:55] looks like 6 months paid and we
[3:50:57] can take a breath and think
[3:50:59] about what that looks like
[3:51:01] after, so I think that will
[3:51:03] help.
[3:51:04] the offerings we have been
[3:51:05] pushing at the district level
[3:51:06] more affordable I are think will
[3:51:08] help.
[3:51:09] outside that, I hear you.
[3:51:11] I would be open to suggestions
[3:51:13] of what you think we could
[3:51:14] support employees with.
[3:51:16] >> it is just a work in progress
[3:51:19] just putting it out there.
[3:51:20] a lot of people in the public
[3:51:21] don't know we are not part of
[3:51:23] the state disability system we
[3:51:25] pay for our substitutes and this
[3:51:28] is coming but it is a unfunded
[3:51:32] mandate.
[3:51:33] one time funds to trustee baker
[3:51:35] torres point with all the other
[3:51:36] things and this is for
[3:51:37] everything in education and why
[3:51:40] can can't plan for anything
[3:51:41] because we always have one time
[3:51:44] funds and start these amazing
[3:51:45] things and how do we sustain
[3:51:47] them?
[3:51:48] even school resource officers
[3:51:50] started like that.
[3:51:51] started with a grant and became
[3:51:52] our responsibility.
[3:51:55] all these programs fall under
[3:51:57] that and it is really doesn't
[3:51:59] help us serve students in any
[3:52:01] way shape or form.
[3:52:02] >> but I never want to turn down
[3:52:04] money.
[3:52:05] I don't want anyone to hear me
[3:52:07] as if I turned it down.
[3:52:09] >> for the putting out there for
[3:52:10] the future and thank you for
[3:52:12] your work around disability
[3:52:14] insurance and are helping our
[3:52:16] pregnant employees to be able to
[3:52:19] pursue that and not have a
[3:52:22] deficit on the other end.
[3:52:23] thank you.
[3:52:25] any other comments or questions
[3:52:26] with regard to this?
[3:52:28] do we have a motion?
[3:52:30] >> move to approve.
[3:52:33] >> thank you.
[3:52:34] first and second.
[3:52:35] any other comments or questions?
[3:52:41] on behalf of board thank you
[3:52:44] very much.
[3:52:45] all in favor aye.
[3:52:47] any opposed say no.
[3:52:49] any abstentions?
[3:52:52] trustee estrada you are muted:
[3:52:55] >> aye.
[3:52:57] >> it passes 5-0.
[3:52:58] thank you very much.
[3:53:04] very exciting news.
[3:53:05] we are officially positive.
[3:53:07] that deserves a round of
[3:53:08] applause.
[3:53:09] thank you very much.
[3:53:10] that is amazing.
[3:53:11] we are so grateful.
[3:53:12] okay.
[3:53:13] now we are moving to item 13b,
[3:53:18] which is consideration of
[3:53:19] approval of contract.
[3:53:23] mr. Urias.
[3:53:26] >> thank you dr. Sher.
[3:53:28] consideration of approval of
[3:53:29] contract award to education
[3:53:30] housing partners, inc. For
[3:53:32] workforce housing feasibility
[3:53:33] study and advisory service
[3:53:38] rfk-p728 measure e funded.
[3:53:40] background:the district issued a
[3:55:01] presented. Mr. James ketchum
[3:55:03] our director of measure e and
[3:55:05] workforce housing here tonight.
[3:55:08] >> I move to approve.
[3:55:11] >> good evening.
[3:55:13] >> hold on a second.
[3:55:14] >> second.
[3:55:15] >> thank you.
[3:55:16] first and second.
[3:55:18] go ahead.
[3:55:21] >> my apologies.
[3:55:23] >> welcome.
[3:55:24] >> good evening president dr.
[3:55:25] sher, board members, dr. Mccoy.
[3:55:30] >> do you have questions?
[3:55:34] trustee baker torres.
[3:55:36] >> before committing to the $195
[3:55:38] thousand, have we looked into
[3:55:41] whether the non profit
[3:55:45] affordable housing developers
[3:55:47] such as people's self-help
[3:55:50] housing or any other housing
[3:55:51] partner can provide us that same
[3:55:53] analysis for free?
[3:55:57] >> so, this is a non profit
[3:56:01] company that we are dealing with
[3:56:03] and none of the non profits do
[3:56:04] this work for free.
[3:56:07] but this is non profit company
[3:56:09] we are going with.
[3:56:13] >> okay.
[3:56:16] >> then, is this a not to exceed
[3:56:19] amount?
[3:56:20] >> correct.
[3:56:21] it is up to 195.
[3:56:23] >> okay.
[3:56:24] >> as he said, it is non profit
[3:56:26] fee for service, no equity stake
[3:56:29] or development profit.
[3:56:31] only advise and advocate for the
[3:56:33] district.
[3:56:34] >> perfect.
[3:56:35] thank you.
[3:56:36] and then, will this feasibility
[3:56:37] study will it provide a
[3:56:39] financial analysis, such as will
[3:56:42] they tells projected cost to
[3:56:45] build the units and cost per
[3:56:47] unit?
[3:56:48] will they tell the projected
[3:56:49] rental rates or purchases prices
[3:56:54] or if the staff can actually
[3:56:56] truly afford these places?
[3:57:00] will we know if there is enough
[3:57:04] demand.
[3:57:05] will we do another survey?
[3:57:07] >> it has been a few years.
[3:57:09] >> will we know if there is
[3:57:10] enough demand to keep the units
[3:57:12] full?
[3:57:13] what is the long-term financial
[3:57:15] picture including operating
[3:57:17] cost, maintenance, repairs,
[3:57:20] management and any other ongoing
[3:57:24] expenses and whether the general
[3:57:26] fund could ever be at risk of
[3:57:28] supporting this project?
[3:57:30] >> I would say those are all
[3:57:33] excellent question and why we
[3:57:34] are recommending this
[3:57:36] feasibility study because it
[3:57:38] will provide answers to all
[3:57:39] those questions and allow us to
[3:57:42] look at that feasibility study
[3:57:43] and results to determine what
[3:57:45] next steps if any we want to
[3:57:47] take as a result.
[3:57:48] >> okay, perfect.
[3:57:49] that was the last question.
[3:57:50] after the workforce housing
[3:57:52] study the feasibility study is
[3:57:54] done, what would be our next
[3:57:55] step?
[3:57:57] >> we would present the results
[3:57:58] to the board, and we would
[3:58:03] do-james and his team and myself
[3:58:05] would do an analysis of the
[3:58:06] results, so we could advice the
[3:58:09] board on the information being
[3:58:11] presented to them, and then make
[3:58:13] a determination, is there a
[3:58:15] pathway to success for workforce
[3:58:17] housing at this time, and is the
[3:58:19] board interested or are there
[3:58:24] additional hurdles that need to
[3:58:28] be overcome before we identify a
[3:58:30] successful pathway to this
[3:58:31] project in which case we want to
[3:58:33] work on the barriers.
[3:58:34] that is what we are looking for.
[3:58:38] identify the barriers and can we
[3:58:40] overcome the barriers and
[3:58:41] provide the information to the
[3:58:42] board for their input.
[3:58:44] >> okay.
[3:58:45] good.
[3:58:46] thank you.
[3:58:47] >> thank you.
[3:58:48] trustee botello lopez.
[3:58:52] >> I want to go back to measure
[3:58:53] e because we had earmarked a
[3:58:56] amount of money for workforce
[3:58:57] housing specifically.
[3:58:58] do you remember that number?
[3:59:00] >> 4 million and little change,
[3:59:03] but approximately $4 million.
[3:59:05] >> we haven't spent that money
[3:59:06] yet.
[3:59:07] this is the first big item?
[3:59:09] >> correct.
[3:59:11] >> and then with that mr. Urias
[3:59:15] and dr. Mccoy, brittany,
[3:59:17] president sher and I, I think it
[3:59:19] was 2024 in february to see
[3:59:21] housing units that are pictured
[3:59:22] on this, so I don't know there
[3:59:25] is still the option for this
[3:59:26] coming year because maybe
[3:59:28] trustee baker torres would be
[3:59:29] interested because a lot of
[3:59:30] questions coming forward are
[3:59:32] very long-term and I know I have
[3:59:35] some of the information and
[3:59:36] president sher has some of the
[3:59:40] knowledge too which we will
[3:59:42] share because you had questions
[3:59:43] regarding how much does it cost.
[3:59:45] we go into details absolutely
[3:59:47] and I think that information is
[3:59:50] available, but I think long-term
[3:59:52] goals is feasibility study.
[3:59:54] we are using if we approve it
[3:59:55] education housing partners, so I
[3:59:57] had a question whether there is
[3:59:59] any other district in this
[4:00:00] county that used education
[4:00:02] housing partners as well?
[4:00:05] >> off top of my head, I know
[4:00:09] ventura isn't using them.
[4:00:11] they do have references.
[4:00:13] I don't have that with me.
[4:00:16] >> they have strong references
[4:00:17] with pasadena unified, san jose
[4:00:20] unifies, san mateo, marin county
[4:00:27] and support from the state
[4:00:29] senator and veteran developer.
[4:00:33] 18 thousand multifamily homes
[4:00:34] delivered.
[4:00:35] >> okay, it is just the plethora
[4:00:40] of california up and down.
[4:00:42] last year was ventura
[4:00:45] county-someone had a meeting.
[4:00:46] you went to it mr. Urias?
[4:00:51] >> the housing trust.
[4:00:52] >> are they having something
[4:00:53] similar this year that we can be
[4:00:56] flies on the wall and trustees
[4:00:58] can hear the information because
[4:00:59] I think a lot of the questions
[4:01:01] like trustee baker torres is
[4:01:02] mentioning are discussed there
[4:01:04] in full and I know one of the
[4:01:06] projects the san mateo or one in
[4:01:12] san francisco, jefferson union
[4:01:14] we had a panel of the board
[4:01:16] members as well as some
[4:01:17] community that were talking
[4:01:19] about like the same questions
[4:01:20] you had like how do we do this,
[4:01:22] what is the rent price, who gets
[4:01:24] to choose whether they want to,
[4:01:25] did you survey your entire staff
[4:01:28] and district l. Those questions
[4:01:29] were answered and it is a big
[4:01:31] process and a long-term goal, so
[4:01:34] it is just-there is a lot of
[4:01:36] layers but I think curious if
[4:01:40] still offering something for
[4:01:42] that and what it could look like
[4:01:43] for the trustees growing in
[4:01:44] their knowledge base.
[4:01:45] >> yes.
[4:01:46] a couple things related to that.
[4:01:48] the california school board
[4:01:49] association is still a excellent
[4:01:51] resource and they still do
[4:01:54] cohort work but they evolved the
[4:01:55] process so they actually also do
[4:01:57] one day workshops that a board
[4:01:59] member could attend.
[4:02:02] they host-
[4:02:03] >> boot camps.
[4:02:06] >> board members could attended.
[4:02:07] if the feasibility study comes
[4:02:10] back and shows a pathway to
[4:02:11] success, then I think and it is
[4:02:14] something a consideration that
[4:02:15] comes to the board, I think at
[4:02:18] that time it would be wise for
[4:02:19] people to look at the resources
[4:02:21] available, we are happy to
[4:02:22] provide some of those and
[4:02:23] potentially attend a boot camp
[4:02:26] and we would be happy to attend
[4:02:27] with the board members so we can
[4:02:29] continue to sharpen our
[4:02:33] knowledge.
[4:02:34] happy to keep the board aware of
[4:02:36] ventura county opportunities
[4:02:38] because there will be some so
[4:02:39] we'll keep the board informed on
[4:02:41] the opportunities and encourage
[4:02:43] attendance.
[4:02:45] >> I love that.
[4:02:46] lastly, if we approve this, when
[4:02:48] is the start time and when do
[4:02:51] anticipate being the deadline
[4:02:54] and when do you think we could
[4:02:56] have the information back?
[4:02:58] >> probably start immediately
[4:03:00] reach out to them to get the
[4:03:02] program started so we have a
[4:03:06] plan moving forward and find
[4:03:08] from them each step and how we
[4:03:09] begin to do it.
[4:03:12] >> could we anticipate by the
[4:03:13] end of 2026?
[4:03:15] >> they said in my research
[4:03:17] could take 3 to 6 months.
[4:03:19] >> okay.
[4:03:20] thank you.
[4:03:21] >> also, if I want to add, there
[4:03:24] is available grants if we choose
[4:03:27] this--we are then eligible to
[4:03:30] get a scag grant that would pay
[4:03:32] partially for the cost.
[4:03:33] we get reimbursement.
[4:03:36] what was the amount?
[4:03:38] >> up to $50 thousand.
[4:03:39] if the board approves we can go
[4:03:42] to them for grant funding.
[4:03:43] >> I think trustee estrada had
[4:03:45] mentioned few meetings ago,
[4:03:47] maybe redoing or revamping the
[4:03:50] survey we had done and seeing
[4:03:51] where the need is.
[4:03:52] what type of is it one bedroom
[4:03:55] or two.
[4:03:56] what does it mean so maybe
[4:03:57] looking at it again and sending
[4:03:58] it out.
[4:03:59] >> they will conduct a new
[4:04:00] survey with a more experienced
[4:04:03] at it and will be able to
[4:04:05] really-do several things before
[4:04:06] they do the survey.
[4:04:07] they want a list of employees
[4:04:10] and how many we have and ages
[4:04:12] and wages and looking at the
[4:04:13] median income for the area
[4:04:16] because all the data is
[4:04:18] important when you talk about
[4:04:19] educator workforce housing and
[4:04:20] using affordable houses
[4:04:23] resources to fund some that.
[4:04:24] but they will then finalize that
[4:04:26] with a very detailed survey that
[4:04:28] is more detailed then what we
[4:04:30] provided to get specific
[4:04:32] information from the staff on
[4:04:33] what it is they would like to
[4:04:37] see.
[4:04:38] >> we are anticipating because I
[4:04:39] saw principal martin here the
[4:04:41] space near rancho campana?
[4:04:43] >> now we are focused on that
[4:04:46] space.
[4:04:47] we think the oxnard high school
[4:04:48] space can be a viable space in 4
[4:04:50] to 5 years as development moves
[4:04:51] out toward that farm land.
[4:04:53] >> perfect.
[4:04:54] thank you.
[4:04:56] >> thank you trustee
[4:04:59] flores-haro.
[4:05:00] >> thank you president sher.
[4:05:01] my colleagues snatched up my
[4:05:02] questions.
[4:05:03] as a trustee who is a renter, I
[4:05:06] really appreciate the
[4:05:09] thoughtfulness of previous
[4:05:10] boards and this board looking
[4:05:11] into workforce housing for our
[4:05:14] staff.
[4:05:16] I'll share that before covid the
[4:05:19] apartment complex I was renting
[4:05:21] I was paying less for more
[4:05:23] apartment and then post covid
[4:05:25] I'm paying more for less
[4:05:27] apartment if that makes sense.
[4:05:31] I'm sure many staff are in that
[4:05:34] situation so I think it is
[4:05:36] important we redo the survey to
[4:05:39] get a sense of the landscape,
[4:05:41] especially since we implemented
[4:05:44] the srp imagine it is swinging
[4:05:47] younger so good to hear from
[4:05:49] staff some questions I was going
[4:05:50] to ask was what trustee baker
[4:05:53] torres touched on of the cost,
[4:05:55] because when I went through the
[4:05:56] packet I saw that scale of 185
[4:06:00] to 280 and like, that is a big
[4:06:02] scale.
[4:06:03] that is a lot.
[4:06:04] I'm glad you locked in at 195
[4:06:07] not to exceed.
[4:06:08] my other question was, trustee
[4:06:10] botello's question around when
[4:06:12] we get the report back because I
[4:06:14] read 5 months.
[4:06:16] hopeful we can get something
[4:06:17] before the end of the year.
[4:06:19] thank you.
[4:06:21] >> thank you.
[4:06:23] thank you.
[4:06:24] this is a dream.
[4:06:25] so grateful for your work and
[4:06:27] your perseverance and I think
[4:06:29] the boot camps I have always
[4:06:31] said the california school board
[4:06:33] association and the workforce
[4:06:34] housing boot camps are so
[4:06:37] incredible.
[4:06:38] I think anybody any trustee with
[4:06:42] the opportunity to participate
[4:06:43] will learn so much so I really
[4:06:45] encourage anyone to do that.
[4:06:48] for those people and I'm
[4:06:49] learning about this too for
[4:06:50] those that don't know,
[4:06:52] california law makers have
[4:06:53] agreed to place a historic
[4:06:57] $11.25 billion veteran
[4:07:00] affordable housing bond act on
[4:07:03] the november 2026 ballot, so
[4:07:05] this is just like work in
[4:07:07] progress.
[4:07:08] enough signatures are gathered
[4:07:09] to be on the 26 november ballot
[4:07:13] and designed to tackle the
[4:07:16] housing crisis and fund
[4:07:18] construction of affordable homes
[4:07:20] and provide down payment
[4:07:21] assistance to thousands of
[4:07:22] buyers, especially through the
[4:07:24] cal vet home loan program and
[4:07:26] also aims to approve funds to
[4:07:31] finance the construction
[4:07:34] rehabilitation and preservation
[4:07:35] of affordable rental and
[4:07:36] supportive housing for lower
[4:07:37] income californians as well as
[4:07:39] providing down payment
[4:07:40] assistance.
[4:07:41] that is as much as we know about
[4:07:43] the bond but it is $11.25
[4:07:47] billion bond on the november
[4:07:49] ballot so I hope everyone is
[4:07:51] thinking about where the votes
[4:07:53] are going to be cast with regard
[4:07:54] to that.
[4:07:56] I think that trustee estrada
[4:08:02] hasn't had a opportunity to
[4:08:03] weigh in and give her a
[4:08:04] opportunity.
[4:08:06] she is muted.
[4:08:07] any comment or question you have
[4:08:08] with regard to this?
[4:08:10] >> thank you president sher.
[4:08:12] I do appreciate the direction of
[4:08:15] the new study.
[4:08:17] I think a lot of concerns I
[4:08:20] previously raised have been
[4:08:22] addressed with this new
[4:08:25] proposal, and I appreciate that
[4:08:28] the proposal explores multiple
[4:08:30] funding models that reduce
[4:08:36] reliance on local dollars and
[4:08:38] protect the general fund and
[4:08:39] some examples included how other
[4:08:42] colleges and cities have pursued
[4:08:44] partnerships and funding
[4:08:47] opportunities to collaborate on
[4:08:50] something like housing that
[4:08:52] impacts everyone not just the
[4:08:54] school district.
[4:08:57] that said, my position on
[4:08:59] workforce housing with the bond
[4:09:02] dollars has not changed.
[4:09:05] I think until every one of the
[4:09:06] school sites has functional
[4:09:08] library, I can't support
[4:09:11] continued investment using
[4:09:13] measure e our bond dollars
[4:09:15] should be directed towards
[4:09:17] educational facilities that
[4:09:19] benefit students, teaching and
[4:09:22] learning.
[4:09:23] but I thank you for the work and
[4:09:24] for keeping those integrating
[4:09:27] those into this new proposal.
[4:09:30] >> any other comments or
[4:09:31] questions?
[4:09:33] I would just like to remind the
[4:09:34] public $4 million plus dollars
[4:09:40] designated in the bond for this
[4:09:41] particular work and so we need
[4:09:42] to be true to the bond with
[4:09:44] regard to how we are using our
[4:09:46] monies and what the voters have
[4:09:47] approved.
[4:09:48] this is part that approval.
[4:09:50] the voters have approved this
[4:09:51] part of our bond measure, this
[4:09:53] money couldn't necessarily be
[4:09:55] used for libraries so I don't
[4:09:57] want anyone to get the wrong
[4:09:58] idea that this is a separate pot
[4:10:02] of money and so this is
[4:10:05] designated for our workforce
[4:10:06] housing, feasibility studies,
[4:10:08] this was written into the bond
[4:10:10] and so now by adopting this
[4:10:13] measure we are actually living
[4:10:15] what we actually promised the
[4:10:17] voters.
[4:10:18] >> yes.
[4:10:21] maybe you are ready to call for
[4:10:22] the vote.
[4:10:23] I want to add one more thing,
[4:10:24] there is a rising tide of
[4:10:26] support occurring throughout the
[4:10:27] state for workforce housing and
[4:10:29] affordable housing, so we do
[4:10:31] anticipate in the next couple
[4:10:33] years potential grant fund and
[4:10:35] other funds that may come
[4:10:38] available and we want to be
[4:10:39] ready to take advantage of
[4:10:40] those, knowing we got a
[4:10:41] potential shovel ready project.
[4:10:46] we can overcome barriers and as
[4:10:49] the tide continues to occur
[4:10:51] around funding for the projects,
[4:10:54] we will be poised to take
[4:10:56] advantage of funds that come
[4:10:58] available through things like
[4:10:59] the bond you are mentioning
[4:11:00] because we are seeing that trend
[4:11:01] and do expect there will be
[4:11:03] financial assistance for
[4:11:04] district like ours in the future
[4:11:06] to pursue these options.
[4:11:08] >> thank you.
[4:11:09] and then to that point and I
[4:11:11] forgive me I don't remember
[4:11:13] where I heard this with regard
[4:11:14] to housing, but I know it was
[4:11:16] with the district.
[4:11:17] within the next 10 years or over
[4:11:19] next 10 years maybe ventura
[4:11:21] county housing authority,
[4:11:23] perhaps the meeting we went to.
[4:11:29] the price of housing will go up
[4:11:31] 125 percent in the next 10 years
[4:11:34] so unless we plan on raising
[4:11:36] salaries 125 percent, we have
[4:11:37] teachers and staff that can't
[4:11:39] afford a home now so for us to
[4:11:41] be thinking about the future,
[4:11:42] especially something as close
[4:11:44] and as far as the same time as
[4:11:47] 10 years, really important.
[4:11:48] I want to make sure the public
[4:11:50] understands this money measure e
[4:11:52] is for lots of things.
[4:11:56] $4 million plus dollars of
[4:11:57] measure e is specifically
[4:11:59] designated for a feasibility
[4:12:01] study and beginnings of what
[4:12:05] will be workforce housing.
[4:12:07] this is not money that could be
[4:12:09] spent on something else.
[4:12:11] we asked the voters to approver
[4:12:14] a bond measure and this was
[4:12:15] written and they approved the
[4:12:16] bond measure so I don't want
[4:12:18] anyone to think the two pots of
[4:12:20] money can be used for the same
[4:12:21] thing.
[4:12:22] any other comments or questions
[4:12:23] before I call the vote?
[4:12:27] mr. Sturgeon would you take a
[4:12:30] roll call vote, please?
[4:12:33] >> estrada, no.
[4:12:39] baker torres, yes.
[4:12:42] botello, yes.
[4:12:44] flores-haro, yes.
[4:12:45] sher, yes.
[4:12:47] >> thank you.
[4:12:48] motion passes 4-1.
[4:12:49] thank you very much for being
[4:12:51] here and for your dedication to
[4:12:52] this work.
[4:12:53] thank you.
[4:12:54] okay.
[4:12:57] just for the public and
[4:12:58] everyone's notice, we thought we
[4:13:00] were going have to go back to
[4:13:01] closed session at some point, we
[4:13:03] don't need to adjourn to closed
[4:13:05] session, so any point again this
[4:13:09] evening and so 10 a we are going
[4:13:13] to go through item 14, complete
[4:13:16] the staff report on the ric
[4:13:18] program update and then before
[4:13:20] the board discussion, we are
[4:13:21] going to have item consideration
[4:13:24] of 10 a.
[4:13:27] between 14 and 15 just if you
[4:13:29] want to put it on the agenda
[4:13:30] everyone.
[4:13:31] that is when we will consider 10
[4:13:33] a for the public, the contract
[4:13:36] that will be presented in 10 a
[4:13:39] has been posted to the website
[4:13:41] mr. Sturgeon.
[4:13:42] it is posted or working on it?
[4:13:44] >> it isn't posted but there are
[4:13:46] copies available on the dais.
[4:13:48] >> thank you.
[4:13:49] there are printed copies in the
[4:13:50] board room for those that are
[4:13:52] interested in looking at it
[4:13:53] before we get to 10 a.
[4:13:55] there are printed copies here
[4:13:57] and we are working on posting it
[4:13:59] currently.
[4:14:00] is that correct mr. Sturgeon?
[4:14:01] >> correct.
[4:14:02] speaking about that.
[4:14:05] >> we have a little time, but
[4:14:06] just for the public who is
[4:14:08] waiting it will be posted
[4:14:09] shortly, so thank you.
[4:14:10] I want to make sure everything
[4:14:12] is aware.
[4:14:13] did I miss anything?
[4:14:14] okay.
[4:14:15] good.
[4:14:16] now we are moving on to
[4:14:19] item-yes?
[4:14:20] >> [inaudible]
[4:14:23] >> public comment.
[4:14:24] >> we will allow the public to
[4:14:28] comment prior to the
[4:14:29] presentation.
[4:14:30] >> did you say that?
[4:14:31] >> I don't can know if I did, if
[4:14:33] I didn't thank you for reminding
[4:14:34] me.
[4:14:36] anything I missed?
[4:14:37] moving on to 13c.
[4:14:40] which the consideration of
[4:14:41] approval for contract.
[4:14:43] mr. Urias or dr. Mccoy.
[4:14:46] >> thank you.
[4:14:47] consideration of approval for
[4:14:48] contract award to bernards for
[4:14:50] future as-needed construction
[4:14:51] management services. To ensure
[4:17:04] district, as presented. If I
[4:17:05] may, I know this is the third
[4:17:06] time we bring the item to the
[4:17:08] board.
[4:17:09] partly due to the fact we
[4:17:10] haven't had a full board present
[4:17:12] for a vote, so we thought it is
[4:17:14] important to hear from all the
[4:17:15] board members on a vote.
[4:17:17] we are bringing this to the
[4:17:19] board because we believe it is
[4:17:21] necessary for us to continue to
[4:17:23] maintain the quality of our
[4:17:25] projects to have this support.
[4:17:28] we are asking the board for this
[4:17:30] support so we can continue to
[4:17:32] manage our cost, find savings on
[4:17:36] the buildings and insure the low
[4:17:38] bidders who all providing the
[4:17:39] lowest bid are held accountable
[4:17:42] for the project requirements and
[4:17:44] they are doing everything the
[4:17:46] project requires and not trying
[4:17:48] top find ways to save money on
[4:17:50] their low bid.
[4:17:51] additionally, you heard from me
[4:17:53] on this topic at nauseam and mr.
[4:17:57] ketchum, we have mr. Rising here
[4:17:59] from district advocates group
[4:18:02] who is a company you approved
[4:18:04] for us to work with helping us
[4:18:06] with the bond program.
[4:18:07] he has 40 years of experience in
[4:18:09] the construction school
[4:18:12] construction and so, he has a
[4:18:14] few slides to share with you but
[4:18:17] thought it is better if you
[4:18:18] heard from someone you hadn't
[4:18:20] heard from yet on the matter who
[4:18:22] is a expert in the field.
[4:18:24] >> thank you mr. Urias.
[4:18:27] madam president, board members,
[4:18:28] staff, community, again my name
[4:18:31] is allen rising, executive vice
[4:18:33] president with district
[4:18:34] advocates group.
[4:18:35] I have more then 40 years of
[4:18:37] experience working both in
[4:18:40] schools as well as helping to
[4:18:42] support schools.
[4:18:44] in that time managed well excess
[4:18:47] $5 billion in school
[4:18:49] construction and continue to
[4:18:50] assist schools and school
[4:18:52] districts such as oxnard as we
[4:18:53] move forward.
[4:18:54] today, mr. Urias and are mr.
[4:18:57] ketchum asked to talk about
[4:18:59] value of effective construction
[4:19:01] management and how that
[4:19:03] construction management helps
[4:19:05] safeguard public funds and
[4:19:07] insure delivery of projects on
[4:19:09] time and on schedule.
[4:19:11] if we can go to the next slide,
[4:19:13] please.
[4:19:14] it is important we start with
[4:19:15] really for the community to
[4:19:16] understand the scale of the type
[4:19:19] of projects we are looking at.
[4:19:23] we have projects currently in
[4:19:25] the program that are being
[4:19:27] worked on and some version of
[4:19:29] construction whether
[4:19:30] pre-construction work which
[4:19:31] means designers are working on
[4:19:33] projects, it is bidding and bid
[4:19:37] procurement and bringing on
[4:19:39] contractors, some form of
[4:19:42] execution where work is
[4:19:43] happening at school sites or
[4:19:45] various levels of close-out to
[4:19:47] insure all the money has been
[4:19:49] spent appropriately and we
[4:19:50] accounted for that work both not
[4:19:52] only locally, but also at the
[4:19:53] state level as well to insure
[4:19:55] our schools are as safe and
[4:20:00] effect.
[4:20:02] $93 and a half million is in the
[4:20:07] queue with the measure e program
[4:20:08] so a lot of work and moving
[4:20:10] parts happening same time and
[4:20:11] all the work is happening over
[4:20:12] the next 12-18 month as various
[4:20:15] projects move to the process.
[4:20:19] it is also important to
[4:20:20] understand that school
[4:20:22] construction is some of the most
[4:20:24] complex construction we have in
[4:20:26] the state.
[4:20:27] it is one of the most regulated
[4:20:28] areas of construction in the
[4:20:30] state.
[4:20:31] largely because these are our
[4:20:32] schools.
[4:20:33] these are where we put our
[4:20:34] children and expectations our
[4:20:35] schools are safe effective clean
[4:20:37] functional is pervasive across
[4:20:40] the community.
[4:20:41] the state recognize that, but we
[4:20:44] deal with various different
[4:20:45] agencies that all have component
[4:20:47] part of what we do.
[4:20:48] everything from dsa.
[4:20:50] division of state architect
[4:20:54] california of education and
[4:20:55] toxic control.
[4:20:56] the public contract code.
[4:20:58] various different labor
[4:20:59] standards and requirements we
[4:21:01] deal with.
[4:21:02] mr. Urias just mentioned office
[4:21:05] of public school construction.
[4:21:06] they work with us to insure our
[4:21:08] plans meet the state
[4:21:10] requirements and that we can
[4:21:12] receive state funding.
[4:21:13] we have ceqa, california
[4:21:15] environmental quality act
[4:21:16] requirements that we manage.
[4:21:19] we various hazard materials and
[4:21:21] substance regulatory agencies
[4:21:24] from aqmd-and local
[4:21:32] requirements.
[4:21:33] all these create challenges.
[4:21:35] the little chart on the right
[4:21:37] helps to understand that.
[4:21:38] we have both the hard services
[4:21:40] we provide the construction,
[4:21:44] nuts and bolts and concrete and
[4:21:46] nails, electrical to fire life
[4:21:49] safety, lighting, construction.
[4:21:51] plumbing, concrete, all those
[4:21:54] things happening in the field
[4:21:55] with our contractors, but there
[4:21:57] is another side of the work our
[4:21:59] construction management team
[4:22:00] does, which is the soft services
[4:22:02] where we work your staff in the
[4:22:05] district.
[4:22:06] work with the district
[4:22:08] leadership, administrative
[4:22:10] component and school site staff
[4:22:11] because these are very
[4:22:13] disruptive projects happening at
[4:22:15] school sites so collaborate with
[4:22:17] teachers and your community to
[4:22:20] insure all projects are
[4:22:22] effectively managed and brought
[4:22:25] together.
[4:22:26] important to understand these
[4:22:27] are important to our community.
[4:22:28] if we can bring these project
[4:22:31] quicker in a effective way and
[4:22:33] save the construction dollars
[4:22:35] that is better for all our
[4:22:36] communities.
[4:22:38] the challenge we really face is
[4:22:39] managing multiple projects, 3,
[4:22:43] 6, 10 projects at the same time
[4:22:45] stretches capacity of internal
[4:22:47] staff.
[4:22:48] one person or two people
[4:22:49] internally to manage a workload
[4:22:52] of $50-90 million happening at
[4:22:54] all at the same time stretches
[4:22:57] the capability beyond what they
[4:22:59] can effectively manage and has
[4:23:00] nothing to do with individual
[4:23:02] capability, it is just one
[4:23:04] person can't be in multiple
[4:23:05] places at the same time.
[4:23:06] it is impossible to do that when
[4:23:08] you have this much work going
[4:23:10] on.
[4:23:11] there is description of the
[4:23:19] projects are small and easy.
[4:23:22] some of the smaller are more
[4:23:24] complicated.
[4:23:25] you typically generate or
[4:23:26] attract smaller contractors that
[4:23:28] are less sophisticated that need
[4:23:30] a lot more hand holding and
[4:23:32] support to make sure all these
[4:23:33] projects come together at the
[4:23:35] right time.
[4:23:37] the pitfall are that, you end up
[4:23:40] having this fragmented component
[4:23:43] multiple different contractors
[4:23:45] working.
[4:23:46] it extends your staff and really
[4:23:50] compound or creates potentials
[4:23:52] for additional change orders.
[4:23:54] contractors are working on
[4:23:55] school sites and if we are not
[4:23:57] watching what they are doing
[4:23:59] contractors sometimes are
[4:24:00] looking out for their own bottom
[4:24:01] line and for their own profit
[4:24:04] margin.
[4:24:05] making sure we are the eyes and
[4:24:07] ears on the field to make sure
[4:24:08] we are getting what we paid for
[4:24:10] and everything we paid for is
[4:24:12] very very important.
[4:24:14] the solution is making sure you
[4:24:15] have appropriate and adequate
[4:24:19] construction management service
[4:24:20] on each project.
[4:24:21] we can move to the next slide,
[4:24:23] please.
[4:24:24] there is a lot about risk
[4:24:25] avoidance.
[4:24:26] we have to think about there is
[4:24:28] a risk that the district has in
[4:24:30] construction.
[4:24:31] not only the risk of non
[4:24:33] compliance things like dsa
[4:24:35] bottlenecks and are contractor
[4:24:38] moving forward with unapproved
[4:24:40] work or building out of
[4:24:43] compliance with contract
[4:24:44] documents that can cause months
[4:24:45] of project delays as we have to
[4:24:47] get approvals for that work,
[4:24:49] sometimes it may require to get
[4:24:51] redesigns for components of
[4:24:54] work.
[4:24:55] may require to go out to bid to
[4:24:56] actually make some of the
[4:24:57] changes depending on the
[4:24:59] severity of the non compliance.
[4:25:01] all that risks our ability to
[4:25:04] occupy improvements.
[4:25:05] delays the time our community
[4:25:07] has these resources available
[4:25:08] for their use, and displaces
[4:25:10] students beyond what they would
[4:25:13] expect to be delayed.
[4:25:14] we have a lot of compliance
[4:25:17] related issues.
[4:25:18] we have to make sure we follow
[4:25:21] title 24.
[4:25:23] >> any questions at this point?
[4:25:25] okay.
[4:25:26] thank you.
[4:25:30] >> compliance related issues.
[4:25:32] the construction managers insure
[4:25:33] all our title 24 which is
[4:25:37] acronym for california building
[4:25:39] code.
[4:25:40] this is the requirements we have
[4:25:41] in the state statute that we
[4:25:43] follow the title 24 of the state
[4:25:45] statute to insure structural
[4:25:47] fire life safety and
[4:25:48] accessibility improvements are
[4:25:50] done according to the
[4:25:51] requirements of the state.
[4:25:53] various different close-out
[4:25:55] requirements.
[4:25:56] certification drives the funding
[4:25:57] from the office of public school
[4:25:59] construction.
[4:26:00] if we don't society the project
[4:26:01] we don't insure the timely
[4:26:03] certification happens it could
[4:26:05] jeopardize additional resources
[4:26:06] for the district.
[4:26:08] and lastly, we have labor
[4:26:10] standards so insure we comply
[4:26:12] with both the labor requirements
[4:26:13] at the state level, but also the
[4:26:16] requirements with our labor
[4:26:17] unions, the partners helping us
[4:26:20] with this.
[4:26:21] we don't want to get into labor
[4:26:23] disputes with unions or trade
[4:26:26] partners across the program so
[4:26:28] we make sure we comply with all
[4:26:29] the labor requirements.
[4:26:32] if we move to the next slide.
[4:26:35] >> just for the sake of time,
[4:26:38] just wondering how many-
[4:26:40] >> just a couple more.
[4:26:42] in fact I will go this one and
[4:26:45] get to the next which is
[4:26:46] important to see.
[4:26:47] there is a lot of financial
[4:26:48] savings that construction
[4:26:49] managers can help us with.
[4:26:51] both procurement, conflict
[4:26:55] prevention, value engineering,
[4:26:57] managing and tracking change
[4:26:58] orders to insure change orders
[4:27:00] are within reason and as
[4:27:04] expected and insuring we have a
[4:27:05] lot of financial savings.
[4:27:06] we can go to next slide.
[4:27:09] I think this is very very
[4:27:11] important to give understanding
[4:27:12] of why it is important for us to
[4:27:13] move the projects forward as
[4:27:14] quickly as possible.
[4:27:15] delaying of work is a very
[4:27:18] costly decision to be made.
[4:27:20] if you recognize that in the
[4:27:22] california market in the
[4:27:23] southern california market,
[4:27:25] construction escalating at 7 to
[4:27:28] 10 percent per year.
[4:27:29] if you look at a theoretical $50
[4:27:31] million project portfolio, over
[4:27:35] 6 months that is $1.75 million
[4:27:37] of lost buying power the
[4:27:39] district would absorb.
[4:27:41] putting little more factual
[4:27:46] terms, that is excess over $250
[4:27:50] thousand per month of potential
[4:27:52] buying power lost by delaying
[4:27:55] bidding and contract award
[4:27:56] delaying the projects that are
[4:27:58] really important to our
[4:27:59] communities to insure the
[4:28:03] projects move forward so there
[4:28:05] is a hidden cost people don't
[4:28:07] see or recognize.
[4:28:08] if we don't move projects
[4:28:10] forward it cost money and lose
[4:28:12] capability for the students.
[4:28:14] next slide and all most done.
[4:28:16] just quickly just what is the
[4:28:18] return on investment?
[4:28:19] if you look at on average this
[4:28:21] is industry average.
[4:28:23] without adequate super vision
[4:28:25] and management you can see 8 to
[4:28:26] 15 percent change orders.
[4:28:29] with adequate controls and
[4:28:31] processes you can reduce down to
[4:28:33] less then 3 percent.
[4:28:35] this is effectively documented
[4:28:36] over time.
[4:28:38] dsa close out sped up and
[4:28:40] continuous and real time so
[4:28:43] closing out the projects as they
[4:28:45] complete and not waiting for 6
[4:28:46] to 12 months to close the
[4:28:51] project.
[4:28:52] working with staff to insure we
[4:28:53] dont have staff burn-out and
[4:28:55] high stress as we manage.
[4:28:57] mr. Ketchum does a great job
[4:28:59] trying to bounce around but it
[4:29:01] is big job to hit the jobs at
[4:29:03] and high stress situation.
[4:29:05] I talked about the exposure, the
[4:29:07] financial exposure of over
[4:29:09] payments or lost potential on
[4:29:11] projects.
[4:29:12] >> if I could interrupt, the
[4:29:15] board has been provided with the
[4:29:16] presentation and I know mr.
[4:29:18] rising has a lot of knowledge
[4:29:19] and wisdom he wanted to share.
[4:29:22] I know the board reviewed this
[4:29:24] item several times.
[4:29:26] maybe we can open up to
[4:29:28] questions the board may have at
[4:29:29] this time on this matter.
[4:29:31] >> thank you.
[4:29:32] I will ask for a motion.
[4:29:34] thank you for being here and the
[4:29:35] information.
[4:29:36] I will ask for a motion before
[4:29:37] we take questions or comments.
[4:29:40] >> move to approve.
[4:29:43] >> thank you.
[4:29:44] I second for questions and
[4:29:45] comments.
[4:29:46] if there are any.
[4:29:48] anybody have a question or
[4:29:49] comment?
[4:29:50] trustee baker torres.
[4:29:52] >> for this $241 thousand, how
[4:29:56] many months is summer and fall?
[4:29:58] is summer and fall 6 months or
[4:30:03] three months?
[4:30:04] >> it isn't to exceed amount
[4:30:05] originally our estimates were
[4:30:08] through january for the projects
[4:30:10] we would need support, because
[4:30:13] of the number of projects.
[4:30:14] we still have projects ongoing,
[4:30:17] but that is without delays or
[4:30:18] any issues such as rain.
[4:30:21] if we have substantial rain that
[4:30:23] drives the project longer.
[4:30:25] people are not working when it
[4:30:27] is raining so may drive the
[4:30:29] projects longer but wouldn't
[4:30:31] expend funds when it is raining.
[4:30:33] we would push the projects out.
[4:30:35] >> just wondering if
[4:30:39] it's-figuring $241 thousand in 6
[4:30:44] months and in one year it is
[4:30:46] $482 thousand.
[4:30:48] or if it was three months, that
[4:30:50] is all most a million dollars in
[4:30:52] one year just for a manager.
[4:30:56] >> this is a one time contract
[4:30:59] for that amount.
[4:31:00] we are not asking for million
[4:31:02] dollars we are asking for
[4:31:03] support through these on the
[4:31:05] list of numerous projects that
[4:31:07] you see.
[4:31:08] when we had just del sol and
[4:31:11] channel islands we managed that,
[4:31:13] but with the number of projects
[4:31:14] going on and number of sites we
[4:31:17] are asking for additional
[4:31:18] support to get through that, but
[4:31:20] we are not looking at this right
[4:31:22] now as a permanent person that
[4:31:25] will be a full time employee for
[4:31:26] the district.
[4:31:27] >> okay.
[4:31:28] so, before I vote, I want to
[4:31:30] first thank my fellow trustees
[4:31:32] for their willingness to
[4:31:34] postpone this item from the may
[4:31:36] meeting.
[4:31:37] I appreciate you allowing me the
[4:31:38] opportunity to review the
[4:31:40] information, ask questions and
[4:31:42] are participate in the vote so
[4:31:45] thank you for your
[4:31:47] consideration, it means a lot.
[4:31:48] I also want to thank mr. Ketchum
[4:31:51] for taking the time to answer
[4:31:53] all my questions and providing
[4:31:54] additional information.
[4:31:55] your responses helped me better
[4:31:57] understand the work involved and
[4:31:59] overseeing our measure e
[4:32:00] projects and the
[4:32:02] responsibilities that come with
[4:32:03] this oversight.
[4:32:04] I understand the reasoning
[4:32:06] behind this request and I
[4:32:08] appreciate the work being done
[4:32:09] to identify savings and pursue
[4:32:12] additional funding opportunities
[4:32:13] for the district.
[4:32:15] however, when I first saw the
[4:32:17] not to exceed amount of nearly
[4:32:19] $241 thousand, I had concerns
[4:32:24] and I wanted to understand the
[4:32:25] need for this contract.
[4:32:27] so, while I appreciate the
[4:32:29] information that was provided, I
[4:32:31] still have concerns about
[4:32:36] spending measure e bond funds
[4:32:39] for administrative support
[4:32:40] rather than directly projects
[4:32:42] promised to the voters.
[4:32:43] as trustees, we have a
[4:32:46] responsibility to be good
[4:32:49] steward said of taxpayer dollars
[4:32:51] and make sure the bond funds are
[4:32:53] spent responsibly.
[4:32:56] I keep coming back to the fact
[4:32:58] taxpayers approved measure e to
[4:33:02] improve our schools and complete
[4:33:03] the projects we committed to the
[4:33:05] community, so I understand the
[4:33:06] project of project oversight,
[4:33:10] however my decision keeps coming
[4:33:12] back to my belief measure e
[4:33:14] funds should be directed as much
[4:33:16] as possible towards the projects
[4:33:18] that the voters were promised.
[4:33:22] thank you.
[4:33:23] >> any other comments or
[4:33:24] questions?
[4:33:25] trustee botello lopez.
[4:33:27] >> thank you for coming.
[4:33:29] this has come up to the board
[4:33:31] several times but here we are.
[4:33:32] I appreciate on page 3 just the
[4:33:34] projected project list because
[4:33:38] while we want our students to be
[4:33:40] in safe and stable environments
[4:33:42] and spaces and we are creating
[4:33:45] the spaces for them too like the
[4:33:47] aquatic center and roofing, all
[4:33:49] those things are necessary to
[4:33:50] safe school sights or we will be
[4:33:54] out of compliance which isn't
[4:33:55] something we want and these are
[4:33:56] different items taxpayers have
[4:33:58] been wanting for us to do so it
[4:34:02] is the collective.
[4:34:03] it is all the stakeholders
[4:34:05] saying there is a necessity and
[4:34:06] there is timelines.
[4:34:07] I was here doing covid as well
[4:34:10] president sher and we saw huge
[4:34:12] number of just ticket items
[4:34:16] coming through and projects that
[4:34:17] needed to be done quickly and
[4:34:18] greatly able to do with schools
[4:34:20] being closed, but I know
[4:34:22] everything has earmarked monies
[4:34:25] and with time and inflation can
[4:34:27] keep going up so I appreciate
[4:34:30] the long conversation about
[4:34:31] money and budget and measure e,
[4:34:33] but also know these are
[4:34:36] things--these are facilities and
[4:34:38] buildings and spaces and places
[4:34:40] that are necessary for students
[4:34:41] to have great learning
[4:34:44] experiences whether inside the
[4:34:46] classroom or in the athletic
[4:34:47] field or replacing the fire line
[4:34:49] replacement.
[4:34:50] that is important.
[4:34:51] we have a safety plan for all
[4:34:52] our school sites and we need to
[4:34:53] abide by it.
[4:34:55] and security cameras is
[4:34:57] something of concern for all of
[4:34:58] us as well and bells.
[4:35:01] of course every site is
[4:35:03] different.
[4:35:04] exterior painting like rio mesa
[4:35:06] and oxnard high school.
[4:35:08] we are up to date with agenda
[4:35:09] items but everything is
[4:35:11] important and comes down to
[4:35:12] students and the safety and down
[4:35:13] to the staff too feeling sense
[4:35:16] of belonging, so there is many
[4:35:18] layers of course, but I just
[4:35:20] appreciate the report and heavy
[4:35:23] conversations we continue to
[4:35:24] have in order to make sure these
[4:35:25] projects are completed in a
[4:35:28] timely fashion.
[4:35:29] we are in summer, the students
[4:35:30] are coming back in august so to
[4:35:32] me time of the essence as one
[4:35:34] trustee.
[4:35:35] thank you.
[4:35:37] >> thank you.
[4:35:38] I would reiterate a lot of what
[4:35:39] trustee botello said.
[4:35:42] thank you for your work on this.
[4:35:43] I think again what trustee baker
[4:35:45] torres said, it is all our
[4:35:47] responsibilities to make sure
[4:35:48] that our bond measure funds are
[4:35:51] directed towards the things that
[4:35:52] are important for kids.
[4:35:54] safe and secure facilities I
[4:35:56] think are very important for
[4:35:58] kids and for our staff and
[4:36:00] faculty, so I am in support of
[4:36:02] this and if there-any other
[4:36:05] questions or comments at this
[4:36:06] time?
[4:36:07] trustee flores-haro.
[4:36:12] >> I remember when she was a new
[4:36:13] trustee, a lot of what we had to
[4:36:15] do was immerse in the
[4:36:19] construction management language
[4:36:22] change orders and there was a
[4:36:24] lot.
[4:36:25] there was a lot of 2022-2023 and
[4:36:29] so what my hope as one trustee
[4:36:32] between the lease, lease back
[4:36:35] protocols implemented, possibly
[4:36:40] this position that we are not
[4:36:41] going to have that issue
[4:36:44] anymore, because to trustee
[4:36:46] baker torres point, we have this
[4:36:48] fiduciary responsibility
[4:36:50] especially to the taxpayers
[4:36:51] entrusting us with their money
[4:36:53] to make sure we are edifying the
[4:37:00] facilities in the way students
[4:37:02] deserve.
[4:37:03] come january if we are in a
[4:37:04] place where we are spending more
[4:37:06] money I think we will have to
[4:37:08] have another conversation but I
[4:37:12] recall the days every board
[4:37:14] meeting for the long part, what
[4:37:16] is this and that and what is
[4:37:18] this and how come and so, I just
[4:37:21] wanted to name that that I think
[4:37:23] this board has seen a lot in
[4:37:25] terms of construction management
[4:37:27] and understanding the nuances
[4:37:28] and so, with this position I
[4:37:34] understand the need.
[4:37:35] and especially to free up mr.
[4:37:39] ketchum's time as well.
[4:37:41] >> I don't want--we know none
[4:37:44] have mentioned but each of these
[4:37:47] over half billion dollars in
[4:37:49] bond measure funds the taxpayers
[4:37:52] entrusted with, all the dollars
[4:37:54] are tried to project labor
[4:37:55] agreements and for us what a
[4:37:58] important and special thing we
[4:37:59] are able to do for our community
[4:38:00] to keep those high paying union
[4:38:02] jobs close to home local.
[4:38:05] that is a important thing, but
[4:38:06] also there is a auditing piece
[4:38:09] to make sure we are being
[4:38:11] transparent and make sure we are
[4:38:12] living up to that promise we
[4:38:14] made to the voters, so to this
[4:38:16] position as well, there is a
[4:38:17] component to that.
[4:38:18] it isn't just a fund, it is over
[4:38:23] half billion dollars, 22
[4:38:28] projects including del sol high
[4:38:30] school still being finished in
[4:38:32] addition to 2 projects and
[4:38:36] project labor agreements.
[4:38:39] if I forget anything, if I left
[4:38:42] anything out remind me, but I
[4:38:44] think the piece about project
[4:38:45] labor agreements we have done
[4:38:48] something so incredibly special
[4:38:49] for our community and families
[4:38:51] but we also have a
[4:38:52] responsibility to the taxpayers
[4:38:54] to make sure we are doing the
[4:38:55] work.
[4:38:56] to that point, there is more
[4:38:57] then a fund, it is lots of
[4:38:59] different layers and commitments
[4:39:01] we made.
[4:39:03] from one trustee.
[4:39:05] any other comments or questions
[4:39:07] at this time?
[4:39:10] we have a first and second.
[4:39:11] I will call the question.
[4:39:13] all those in favor please say
[4:39:14] aye.
[4:39:16] any opposed please say no.
[4:39:21] was that no trustee estrada?
[4:39:23] >> correct, that is no.
[4:39:24] >> thank you.
[4:39:25] motion passes 3-2.
[4:39:28] thank you for being here.
[4:39:30] okay.
[4:39:32] we are moving on to the lcap
[4:39:36] consideration ed services.
[4:39:38] dr. Kelsen.
[4:39:40] and dr. Mccoy.
[4:39:42] >> dr. Kelsen.
[4:39:43] >> thank you.
[4:39:44] good evening everyone.
[4:39:45] at the may 27, 2026 board
[4:39:47] meeting, the draft 26-27 budget
[4:39:50] overview for parents local
[4:39:52] control accountability plan lcap
[4:39:54] and corresponding local
[4:39:57] indicators were presented for
[4:40:00] partner feedback and board
[4:40:01] review.
[4:40:02] this public hearing provided a
[4:40:05] opportunity for comment and
[4:40:06] recommendation from educational
[4:40:07] partners regarding planned
[4:40:08] actions, measurable outcomes and
[4:40:11] local indicators.
[4:40:12] now, at this june 24 meeting,
[4:40:15] the board is asked to formally
[4:40:17] adopt the final 26-27 lcap.
[4:42:05] local indicators, as presented.
[4:42:06] >> move to approve.
[4:42:07] >> I'll second.
[4:42:08] >> thank you.
[4:42:09] first and second.
[4:42:10] any comments or questions?
[4:42:12] trustee baker torres.
[4:42:13] >> happy to see the improvements
[4:42:15] in the graduation rate.
[4:42:17] english language art scores and
[4:42:18] math scores.
[4:42:19] I want to recognize the work of
[4:42:20] our students, teachers and
[4:42:22] support staff who contributed to
[4:42:26] the progress.
[4:42:27] while the graduation rate is
[4:42:30] 92.5 percent, I also want to
[4:42:33] recognize that only 44.78
[4:42:35] percent of students are meeting
[4:42:37] or exceeding standards in
[4:42:40] english and 19.29 are meeting or
[4:42:42] exceeding standards in math.
[4:42:46] while the numbers show progress,
[4:42:47] they also show we have a lot of
[4:42:49] work to do.
[4:42:50] one of my priorities as a
[4:42:52] trustee this year is to be sure
[4:42:56] every student graduate said
[4:42:58] prepared for college career and
[4:43:00] life.
[4:43:01] I want our diploma to represent
[4:43:02] not only completion of
[4:43:04] requirements or earning credits,
[4:43:06] but also academic readiness,
[4:43:09] mastery of essential skills, and
[4:43:11] mastery of course standards.
[4:43:14] I support helping student
[4:43:15] graduate and I support the
[4:43:17] opportunities for credit
[4:43:19] recovery, however, as we expand
[4:43:21] credit recovery opportunities,
[4:43:24] how are we going to insure
[4:43:26] academic rigor and mastery are
[4:43:30] maintained so diploma continues
[4:43:32] to represent readiness for the
[4:43:33] future?
[4:43:36] >> any other comments or
[4:43:39] questions?
[4:43:42] thank you.
[4:43:43] I just have one and which is
[4:43:44] with regard to high stake
[4:43:46] testing.
[4:43:47] I do-I appreciate according to
[4:43:51] the dashboard there are varying
[4:43:54] opinions on where our students
[4:43:56] fall, I am not a believer high
[4:44:01] stakes testing is end all be
[4:44:03] all.
[4:44:04] it is measure of student success
[4:44:05] on any particular day and it is
[4:44:07] very often an unfair comparison
[4:44:11] to those students who are not
[4:44:14] native born english speakers and
[4:44:17] parents who are college
[4:44:18] educators.
[4:44:19] that alone can throw off the
[4:44:23] scores.
[4:44:24] it is an assessment we rely upon
[4:44:27] and people look to, so I just
[4:44:29] for what it is worth I think our
[4:44:31] graduation rates are reflection
[4:44:34] of our maslow before bloom mind
[4:44:40] set.
[4:44:41] the fact we feed every child 4
[4:44:42] meals a day and that our
[4:44:45] students all have access to
[4:44:47] mental health support and
[4:44:48] services but a community school
[4:44:51] model in two schools we are
[4:44:53] looking to expand.
[4:44:54] I think those are things that
[4:44:56] help boost graduation rates.
[4:45:00] with regard to attendance and
[4:45:01] want mentioned much here but
[4:45:02] mentioned earlier of the budget
[4:45:05] and I think that is where my
[4:45:06] focus is as a trustee in terms
[4:45:08] of not only the budget and how
[4:45:11] much it means our students are
[4:45:13] here every day, but what it
[4:45:14] means for their education too
[4:45:16] and so that they have every
[4:45:19] opportunity.
[4:45:20] for what it is worth I thank you
[4:45:21] for all the work you did to
[4:45:24] reach out to our community and
[4:45:25] our stakeholders because as a
[4:45:27] board over the years that is
[4:45:28] something we all have been
[4:45:30] saying multiple trustees over
[4:45:32] the years that the lcap is the
[4:45:35] place for parents and families
[4:45:36] and community members to come
[4:45:37] and give their input and to tell
[4:45:39] us what they think is important
[4:45:41] for our district and so we had
[4:45:43] years where they were not well
[4:45:45] attended and had years where
[4:45:46] they were extraordinarily well
[4:45:48] attended, so the more effort we
[4:45:50] put there to really draw our
[4:45:56] stakeholders will help improve
[4:45:59] more then any high stakes test
[4:46:02] score could show on a dashboard
[4:46:07] for my opinion.
[4:46:08] any comments or questions? We
[4:46:09] have a first and second.
[4:46:10] I will call the question.
[4:46:11] all those in favor say aye.
[4:46:14] any opposed?

[4:51:30] are there any comments or
[4:51:31] questions?
[4:51:36] trustee botello lopez.
[4:51:40] >> thank you for joining us.
[4:51:43] I just had a question
[4:51:44] regarding-we got a lot of
[4:51:45] e-mails regarding this specific
[4:51:47] agenda item so thank you to
[4:51:48] everyone who reached out.
[4:51:50] I read all your e-mails and I
[4:51:51] appreciate your feedback.
[4:51:53] I did have a question about the
[4:51:55] credential where it says current
[4:51:56] administrator credential is
[4:51:59] preferred t. Is a certificated
[4:52:00] management work year and the
[4:52:03] salary is certificated
[4:52:04] management salary schedule, so
[4:52:06] my question and I would want to
[4:52:08] have that changed from preferred
[4:52:10] to required since it technically
[4:52:12] falls under that piece, but that
[4:52:15] is my question and my comment.
[4:52:19] >> great question.
[4:52:20] >> dr. Mccoy.
[4:52:21] >> that is aligned to the
[4:52:23] district current requirement for
[4:52:24] coordinators so the current
[4:52:25] coordinator on the general
[4:52:28] ed side and in educational
[4:52:30] services as well as this
[4:52:33] potential position, coordinator
[4:52:36] positions are administrative
[4:52:38] credential preferred.
[4:52:39] that's why the job description
[4:52:41] is coming to you with that
[4:52:42] requirement.
[4:52:45] >> so, it falls in line with the
[4:52:47] others?
[4:52:48] that is what I heard you say
[4:52:49] yes?
[4:52:50] >> that is correct.
[4:52:52] our coordinators and educational
[4:52:54] services have the same minimum
[4:52:57] requirements and the same salary
[4:52:59] schedule placement.
[4:53:01] >> okay, thank you.
[4:53:02] trustee botello.
[4:53:03] >> just question dr. Mccoy, the
[4:53:05] other coordinators do they have
[4:53:07] admin credential on top of mind?
[4:53:12] the majority?
[4:53:14] >> and don't believe so.
[4:53:15] I think some are in progress
[4:53:18] toward one, because it is
[4:53:20] preferred we have two that are
[4:53:21] without the credential right
[4:53:23] now.
[4:53:24] >> okay.
[4:53:25] thank you.
[4:53:26] >> thank you.
[4:53:27] trustee estrada.
[4:53:29] >> hello.
[4:53:30] so, I am excited about the
[4:53:33] position.
[4:53:34] last time we talked about it, I
[4:53:36] mentioned that there was hundred
[4:53:39] million dollars planned for dual
[4:53:42] enrollment and it's quite common
[4:53:45] that folks don't understand that
[4:53:48] it includes adult school and
[4:53:50] includes any student working on
[4:53:52] a high school diploma or high
[4:53:55] school equivalency so I
[4:53:59] recommend this come back for a
[4:54:00] third reading so that dual
[4:54:02] enrollment is part of the job
[4:54:05] description in case there are
[4:54:08] potential dollars in the future
[4:54:09] that would be able to support
[4:54:11] the position, because you would
[4:54:14] have to say who would be working
[4:54:15] on it.
[4:54:17] to the point raised earlier
[4:54:20] about the qualifications, on
[4:54:22] first reading we also talked
[4:54:24] about the importance of having
[4:54:26] it be able to be a classified
[4:54:29] management, because that opens
[4:54:32] up the pool and that was
[4:54:34] something I really liked about
[4:54:35] it, because [inaudible] and we
[4:54:38] might get really good candidate
[4:54:41] in the future that has higher
[4:54:43] ed dual enrollment cte, so that
[4:54:46] would be my recommendation that
[4:54:49] we have a third reading, include
[4:54:51] the dual enrollment and have it
[4:54:54] be a classified management.
[4:54:57] >> thank you.
[4:54:58] dr. Mccoy.
[4:54:59] >> thank you trustee estrada.
[4:55:00] so, staff might recommend with
[4:55:03] the board's approval of the
[4:55:05] second reading that we could
[4:55:07] include language on dual
[4:55:09] enrollment responsibility.
[4:55:11] also, because the position is
[4:55:14] preferred for administrative
[4:55:16] credential, it could be held by
[4:55:21] somebody on the classified
[4:55:22] management side.
[4:55:24] so, that's really the only
[4:55:26] difference between hiring a
[4:55:29] classified manager in this
[4:55:31] position and certificated
[4:55:32] manager is the credential
[4:55:34] itself, so I believe we could
[4:55:35] meet both of those tests if we
[4:55:37] were to with the discretion of
[4:55:41] the rest of the board include
[4:55:42] those in the motion.
[4:55:46] that was considering approval of
[4:55:47] second reading.
[4:55:49] >> she gave a thumbs up so if
[4:55:51] someone is willing to amend the
[4:55:53] motion.
[4:55:54] who made the motion?
[4:55:57] trustee estrada are you willing
[4:55:58] to amend the motion?
[4:56:00] >> yes, I amend the motion to
[4:56:04] approve the job description with
[4:56:08] language of dual enrollment and
[4:56:09] flexibility for the classified
[4:56:11] management.
[4:56:13] >> dr. Mccoy is saying yes, so
[4:56:15] the person who seconded-
[4:56:17] >> I'll comfort to amend the
[4:56:20] second.
[4:56:21] >> thank you trustee
[4:56:22] flores-haro.
[4:56:23] we amended the first and second.
[4:56:24] any other comments or questions?
[4:56:25] trustee baker torres.
[4:56:27] >> I want to thank everyone who
[4:56:29] took the time to e-mail us
[4:56:30] regarding this item.
[4:56:31] I received e-mails from staff
[4:56:33] members with different
[4:56:35] viewpoints and I appreciate
[4:56:36] hearing all perspect ives.
[4:56:38] that said, the concerns I heard
[4:56:40] most consistently centered
[4:56:42] around instructional capacity,
[4:56:45] leadership needs, and whether
[4:56:47] this position is the best use of
[4:56:49] resources at this time.
[4:56:51] several employees shared
[4:56:52] concerns that within the past
[4:56:54] couple years we eliminated 3 or
[4:56:57] 4 positions and instructional
[4:56:59] hours have been reduced over the
[4:57:01] years due to budget constraints
[4:57:03] while workloads increased.
[4:57:06] at the core, the primary
[4:57:09] responsibility of the schools is
[4:57:10] to teach and serve students.
[4:57:12] because that, I question whether
[4:57:15] creating a new management
[4:57:16] position should be our priority
[4:57:18] right now.
[4:57:19] the consistent message I
[4:57:21] received was many adult
[4:57:22] education employees don't
[4:57:24] believe this coordinator
[4:57:26] position is the right solution
[4:57:27] for the challenges the school is
[4:57:29] facing.
[4:57:30] instead, they like to resources
[4:57:35] restoring instructional support
[4:57:37] and leadership capacity,
[4:57:39] possibly such as an assistance
[4:57:41] principal position.
[4:57:42] they believe that would better
[4:57:44] support staff, strengthen
[4:57:47] programs and better serve the
[4:57:48] students.
[4:57:49] so, if the administrative
[4:57:52] credential isn't required and
[4:57:54] appears to provide the same
[4:57:57] supervisor authority as
[4:58:01] assistance principal what is the
[4:58:03] rational placing on management
[4:58:05] salary schedule?
[4:58:06] you said it is the way it is?
[4:58:11] >> we tried to align with the
[4:58:13] district salary schedule and in
[4:58:15] regards of like the ap verses
[4:58:19] the coordinator, I really think
[4:58:21] the coordinator would really
[4:58:23] have much more impact, because
[4:58:27] there is a limited pool for
[4:58:30] adult education with knowledge
[4:58:31] and expertise that even have an
[4:58:34] administrative credential but
[4:58:36] there are great candidates with
[4:58:37] so much specific expertise and
[4:58:42] are very innovative and bring
[4:58:45] that to the school.
[4:58:46] it is just one salary replaced
[4:58:48] by--I'm not adding ap and this
[4:58:54] position will be much more
[4:58:55] impactful and I think it is very
[4:58:58] key not only for this coming
[4:59:00] year but for the next 5 years
[4:59:02] and trajectory we I envision the
[4:59:06] school going as far as expanding
[4:59:08] cte and aligns with workforce
[4:59:10] development board which we work
[4:59:13] very closely with with their
[4:59:14] goals and also the state goals.
[4:59:18] >> okay.
[4:59:19] can you clarify-thank you for
[4:59:20] that.
[4:59:21] can you clarify if this position
[4:59:23] is funded through a specific
[4:59:25] grant or not?
[4:59:26] >> no.
[4:59:27] >> okay.
[4:59:28] >> this will be in our
[4:59:31] combination of cape, which is
[4:59:32] state and federal funding.
[4:59:34] >> okay.
[4:59:35] I was told that they thought it
[4:59:36] might be through a grant one
[4:59:38] employee said so I wanted to be
[4:59:40] sure on that one.
[4:59:42] okay, thank you.
[4:59:43] >> thank you.
[4:59:45] go ahead trustee flores-haro.
[4:59:48] >> thank you president sher.
[4:59:49] I want to add I want to thank
[4:59:52] everyone that reached out as
[4:59:53] well and I also just want to
[4:59:55] 
[4:59:57] sides of the spectrum and
[4:59:59] including today feel the e-mails
[5:00:01] received were much more in favor
[5:00:03] of the position, so just wanted
[5:00:05] to name that out loud.
[5:00:07] >> thank you.
[5:00:08] I did as well receive varying
[5:00:10] opinions, however this is not
[5:00:12] permission to hire, this is job
[5:00:13] description.
[5:00:14] I want to make sure that we are
[5:00:16] talking about the same thing.
[5:00:17] this isn't a permission to hire.
[5:00:19] this is job description.
[5:00:22] >> just to clarify that, if
[5:00:24] trustees approve this, this is
[5:00:27] built into the proposed budget
[5:00:28] for the adult education program.
[5:00:30] if it isn't had approved that
[5:00:31] money is released to other needs
[5:00:34] of the adult school.
[5:00:37] the permission to hire comes
[5:00:39] with approval of the budget
[5:00:41] because if we brought this in
[5:00:43] november and want to hire
[5:00:44] someone in january then we also
[5:00:46] bring permission to hire for the
[5:00:47] current school year, but because
[5:00:50] we had a opportunity to
[5:00:52] research, build into the budget
[5:00:54] that is proposed for oxnard
[5:00:55] adult, we would be able to
[5:00:57] recruit if this position is
[5:00:58] approved but the money is set
[5:01:01] aside.
[5:01:02] it would be released again if it
[5:01:03] isn't approved.
[5:01:04] >> okay, thank you.
[5:01:06] then my other question is with
[5:01:07] regard to
[5:01:15] supervisor--[inaudible] this
[5:01:17] person is going to be
[5:01:18] responsible for evaluating
[5:01:20] teachers?
[5:01:21] >> no, I will be doing all that.
[5:01:23] which I--yeah.
[5:01:25] >> that is written-not part-of
[5:01:28] the part job description?
[5:01:31] >> it is not.
[5:01:32] >> because this person doesn't
[5:01:33] have a admin credential they are
[5:01:35] not qualified in any way to
[5:01:37] evaluate?
[5:01:38] and they can supervise, but not
[5:01:41] evaluation, just like the
[5:01:42] coordinators at the district
[5:01:44] office.
[5:01:45] they have supervisor.
[5:01:47] they wouldn't evaluate.
[5:01:48] >> I understand you are saying I
[5:01:50] want to make sure it is written
[5:01:52] that way.
[5:01:53] >> the job description is
[5:01:54] written all the coordinators do
[5:01:55] not directly supervise any
[5:01:59] employee, they provide program
[5:02:01] support for district initiative
[5:02:04] so that grant writing and
[5:02:06] finding new funding sources and
[5:02:09] developing career technical
[5:02:10] education programs, but that is
[5:02:12] also they do also provide direct
[5:02:15] support to the teaching staff of
[5:02:17] professional development, new
[5:02:19] techniques and learning and then
[5:02:20] they would assist in the
[5:02:22] recruitment of for example if we
[5:02:24] launched a new career technical
[5:02:26] education program, this person
[5:02:28] would assist the principal in
[5:02:29] identifying experts in the
[5:02:32] community that can come and
[5:02:34] teach at oxnard adult school in
[5:02:35] the new field.
[5:02:36] adult school one of the coolest
[5:02:38] things about adult school is
[5:02:40] when we teach cte at adult
[5:02:42] school these are typically
[5:02:43] people practicing in the field
[5:02:45] that come in and work with our
[5:02:47] adults and those folks would be
[5:02:50] supported by this person.
[5:02:52] >> thank you.
[5:02:53] thank you.
[5:02:54] just for clarification.
[5:02:55] trustee baker torres.
[5:02:56] >> so, go further on that, so if
[5:03:00] they don't have a supervisory
[5:03:03] position, why are they paid as
[5:03:05] management?
[5:03:07] >> because they are not teaching
[5:03:11] and they are working on
[5:03:13] administrative functions at the
[5:03:15] coordinator level.
[5:03:16] that is grant writing,
[5:03:17] developing curriculum, working
[5:03:19] with employers across the
[5:03:22] community and those are not
[5:03:23] typically assigned to teaching
[5:03:25] staff.
[5:03:26] >> thank you.
[5:03:27] >> do they have a longer work
[5:03:29] year?
[5:03:32] >> [inaudible]
[5:03:34] >> 213 days.
[5:03:36] >> it is longer then a
[5:03:37] certificated employee?
[5:03:39] >> yes.
[5:03:41] >> to trustee baker torres
[5:03:43] point, it is longer work year.
[5:03:47] any other questions?
[5:03:49] or comments?
[5:03:50] we had a motion.
[5:03:51] first and second.
[5:03:52] I will-right?
[5:03:55] thank you.
[5:03:56] I am going to call the question.
[5:03:57] all in favor say aye.
[5:03:59] opposed?
[5:04:03] trustee estrada you voted aye?
[5:04:06] >> aye.
[5:04:07] >> thank you.
[5:04:08] motion passes 4-1.
[5:04:10] thank you very much for being
[5:04:11] here.
[5:04:13] now we are on to item g.
[5:04:16] before we go on, I want to make
[5:04:17] sure mr. Sturgeon that the
[5:04:20] contract could you let me know
[5:04:21] if the contract has been posted
[5:04:23] on the website?
[5:04:25] >> I can't add to the agenda
[5:04:28] while in session because of the
[5:04:31] recording.
[5:04:32] I can post under the
[5:04:33] superintendent page if you like.
[5:04:34] >> let's go ahead and do that.
[5:04:36] >> I think that is important so
[5:04:37] however we can post it so it is
[5:04:38] on the superintendent's page,
[5:04:40] right?
[5:04:41] >> under superintendent's
[5:04:44] search.
[5:04:45] this is the final piece for that
[5:04:46] and has all the information
[5:04:47] there fully disclosed.
[5:04:49] >> that is happening shortly?
[5:04:51] >> I will work on that.
[5:04:56] >> if mr. La belle needs to make
[5:04:58] minutes is that okay?
[5:04:59] >> of course.
[5:05:00] >> I want to make sure the
[5:05:01] public has a opportunity to see
[5:05:03] the contract before we get there
[5:05:04] and we are getting close.
[5:05:06] anybody need a break?
[5:05:10] let's go to g.
[5:05:12] let's do g because athletic
[5:05:14] trainers are here.
[5:05:15] shout out to you.
[5:05:16] thank you for staying.
[5:05:17] we are doing item g and then
[5:05:20] take a break and come back and
[5:05:23] do h and the rest.
[5:05:24] okay.
[5:05:25] ath letic trainers.
[5:05:29] >> mr. La belle.
[5:05:31] >> consideration of approval
[5:05:38] athletic trainer and
[5:05:44] consideration of waiving of the
[5:05:46] second reading.
[5:06:20] reading be waived.
[5:06:21] >> move to approve.
[5:06:22] >> second.
[5:06:23] >> thank you.
[5:06:24] first and second.
[5:06:27] any other comments or questions?
[5:06:29] >> first, I want to thank the
[5:06:31] athletic trainers from years of
[5:06:34] being around athletics, I know
[5:06:36] the important roles you play for
[5:06:39] our students athletes so thank
[5:06:41] you.
[5:06:42] but I have a couple questions.
[5:06:43] this position is listed as a 208
[5:06:47] day employee, so is that 10
[5:06:49] month or 12 month or what is
[5:06:52] that?
[5:06:54] >> that is roughly 11 months.
[5:06:56] >> 11 months.
[5:06:57] okay.
[5:06:58] so, which month will they get
[5:07:01] off?
[5:07:02] >> it will revolve around the
[5:07:05] dead periods the programs have
[5:07:07] where they are not allowed to be
[5:07:08] on campus.
[5:07:09] there is some things in and out
[5:07:13] and play-off games on a saturday
[5:07:16] so flexibility building the
[5:07:17] schedule.
[5:07:18] >> okay.
[5:07:19] how does the district insure
[5:07:20] that athletic trainer coverage
[5:07:24] during summer winter breaks,
[5:07:27] spring break, all that?
[5:07:29] and also other athletic event
[5:07:31] outside traditional school
[5:07:32] calendar?
[5:07:33] >> we do that currently.
[5:07:36] the only change here is they are
[5:07:39] our employees opposed to working
[5:07:41] for common spirit as a
[5:07:42] contractor.
[5:07:43] we do that on the sites.
[5:07:44] our directors with help from the
[5:07:47] principal, coordinate dates,
[5:07:50] they keep in contract because
[5:07:52] each schedule can change.
[5:07:54] that flexibility is very
[5:07:55] important.
[5:07:57] we appreciate the athletic
[5:07:58] trainers all the reasons you
[5:08:00] said and because they just love
[5:08:02] our kids, so they will be there
[5:08:03] when it is time to be there and
[5:08:05] so that is always been no issue.
[5:08:08] >> exactly.
[5:08:09] like you said, they love our
[5:08:10] kids and doing everything they
[5:08:11] can for our kids, but we got to
[5:08:14] remember that they have families
[5:08:16] and lives too so we can't expect
[5:08:19] them to be-as it is, you know
[5:08:22] how it is.
[5:08:23] they are 6:30 a.m. Till 10
[5:08:27] o'clock at night if lucky.
[5:08:30] will there be limits on required
[5:08:32] weekends and holidays and will
[5:08:35] additional staffing support such
[5:08:37] as the per diem coverage last
[5:08:40] year be able when needed?
[5:08:41] >> we will have-respect the
[5:08:44] boundaries for sure, but there
[5:08:46] is also opportunities as needed
[5:08:48] like as example I gave with
[5:08:52] play-offs we may have extra day
[5:08:54] so they are supported.
[5:08:56] >> thank you.
[5:08:57] is this intended to be a 40 hour
[5:09:00] work week position and how will
[5:09:03] overtime or additional hours be
[5:09:05] handled when schedules require
[5:09:07] evening, weekends, holidays,
[5:09:11] extended days?
[5:09:12] I don't think they only work 40
[5:09:13] hours.
[5:09:15] how do we deal with that?
[5:09:18] >> operation ally there won't be
[5:09:20] a change to the way we are
[5:09:23] implementing the training
[5:09:24] program.
[5:09:26] each campus varies a little bit,
[5:09:28] some of the athletic trainers
[5:09:32] also are certificated employees
[5:09:35] teaching a class and the unique
[5:09:37] schedule needs and program
[5:09:39] itself and relates to seasonal
[5:09:42] sport, so the model compensation
[5:09:46] is 5 day, 40 hours but we know
[5:09:50] that's got to be flexible so may
[5:09:53] come in now, some days they come
[5:09:55] at 1 working through 9 o'clock
[5:09:58] and may come other days if no
[5:10:00] contests early to meet kids
[5:10:03] before school, so the good news
[5:10:06] for us is we have great group of
[5:10:08] trainers that we are trying to
[5:10:10] recruit to stay through these
[5:10:11] positions if approved, and we
[5:10:13] are not going away from the best
[5:10:15] practices that we had this
[5:10:17] position now for about 8 years
[5:10:19] and I think we learned a lot in
[5:10:21] that time and many trainers that
[5:10:23] are with us have been us with
[5:10:24] the entire time and came over
[5:10:26] from booster funded and came
[5:10:28] over from fundraising to have a
[5:10:31] trainer into these full time
[5:10:33] positions with common spirit and
[5:10:37] we have been just so the public
[5:10:40] knows and spoken with trainers
[5:10:42] about this, we have been hearing
[5:10:44] this might happen for a couple
[5:10:47] years, and we have been
[5:10:49] preparing in the background so
[5:10:50] the job description we prepared
[5:10:53] some time ago is just to be
[5:10:55] ready to act as soon as the
[5:10:57] common spirit went in a
[5:10:59] different direction and that all
[5:11:02] happened within about the last
[5:11:04] 20days from the time the
[5:11:06] trainers were informed to the
[5:11:08] time we were able to bring the
[5:11:11] item to the trustees.
[5:11:12] >> so, back to the how are they
[5:11:17] going to handle overtime when
[5:11:20] they go over 40 hours?
[5:11:23] >> just like all our overtime we
[5:11:26] will have pre approved overtime
[5:11:28] set aside.
[5:11:31] >> what staff have to have now 2
[5:11:33] or 3 weeks prior or whatever
[5:11:35] crazy number it is.
[5:11:38] will they be able to get it
[5:11:40] quicker?
[5:11:41] >> with all staff last year
[5:11:43] reimplemented the pay roll
[5:11:44] approval farm so this is no
[5:11:46] different.
[5:11:47] we look at potential overtime
[5:11:50] needs of the trainers and do pay
[5:11:52] roll approval in advance any
[5:11:56] overtime goes against the
[5:11:57] approval form.
[5:11:58] >> if a coach decides to have a
[5:12:01] some saturday game friendly game
[5:12:03] or whatever and they haven't
[5:12:06] gotten that approval do they go
[5:12:09] to the athletic director or--?
[5:12:12] >> what I say as incoming
[5:12:13] employees, new employees we
[5:12:16] would work with them to
[5:12:19] understand our process for time
[5:12:21] sheets and other things because
[5:12:22] they have been through dignity,
[5:12:24] so there is a learning curve and
[5:12:28] the schedules do a good job
[5:12:30] flexing the schedule to meet
[5:12:31] demands of the school site to
[5:12:32] limit that overtime and we
[5:12:34] expect that to continue, but in
[5:12:36] cases where there is overtime
[5:12:38] needed, we would anticipate that
[5:12:41] in advance, payroll approval
[5:12:44] form and have the funds ready so
[5:12:46] we can immediately pay it.
[5:12:49] >> and then you said for the
[5:12:52] have safeguards in place to
[5:12:54] insure a reasonable work/life
[5:12:57] balance and they have guaranteed
[5:12:59] time off during dead periods.
[5:13:02] right?
[5:13:03] okay.
[5:13:05] in section b, g and h of the
[5:13:13] description it says, students.
[5:13:17] could we consider changing it to
[5:13:18] student athletes?
[5:13:20] so this job description
[5:13:23] correctly reflects the primary
[5:13:24] role of athletic trainer, this
[5:13:30] says students and could be any
[5:13:32] student and the trainers don't
[5:13:34] have consent to treat forms for
[5:13:36] all students.
[5:13:38] so, on b, g and h could we
[5:13:43] change it to student athletes?
[5:13:46] >> with consent of board we
[5:13:48] could amend the motion.
[5:13:49] >> perfect.
[5:13:50] we do that at the end I guess?
[5:13:52] >> any time is good.
[5:13:55] >> okay.
[5:13:56] I have a couple.
[5:13:57] under item k, could we clarify
[5:14:02] that-right now it says, they
[5:14:05] evaluate conditions that cause
[5:14:07] athletic injury inadequate
[5:14:12] equipment to make modifications
[5:14:13] or recommendations that could
[5:14:15] reduce the risk of injuries.
[5:14:17] could we change that to, the
[5:14:20] athletic trainers when they see
[5:14:23] these conditions, they then
[5:14:25] report it to site administration
[5:14:28] or maintenance and facilities
[5:14:30] who they are then responsible
[5:14:32] for the evaluation, correction
[5:14:34] and follow-up because the way it
[5:14:35] is written here looks like our
[5:14:38] trainers are the ones who are
[5:14:40] supposed to be correcting and
[5:14:43] following up.
[5:14:46] can we change that in item k?
[5:14:48] that is another one we need to
[5:14:50] vote on.
[5:14:53] can you clarify why this
[5:14:55] position is classified and the
[5:14:58] rational for that when our
[5:15:00] trainers have specialized
[5:15:02] education training and
[5:15:04] certifications required?
[5:15:06] why are they not on
[5:15:08] certificated?
[5:15:10] >> just like we have been
[5:15:13] discussing tonight if this were
[5:15:16] a certificated position
[5:15:19] requiring a teacher credential
[5:15:21] that limits the amount of
[5:15:22] persons eligible to apply,
[5:15:24] because most of our athletic
[5:15:26] trainers grow into a teaching
[5:15:28] credential if they have been
[5:15:29] with us for a while, so if we
[5:15:31] make them certificated I think
[5:15:35] three or more of the three of
[5:15:37] the folks we currently employee
[5:15:39] wouldn't be able to apply, so at
[5:15:43] typical districts we researched
[5:15:45] this is a classified position
[5:15:47] across the state and across the
[5:15:49] region when it comes to athletic
[5:15:51] training and so we also aligned
[5:15:54] the salary to industry standard
[5:15:56] with some input from the
[5:15:58] trainers.
[5:15:59] >> so, I was think-on this, do
[5:16:02] the school nurses have teaching
[5:16:04] credentials?
[5:16:05] no, right?
[5:16:06] but they have-
[5:16:08] >> but they have a certificate
[5:16:13] for school for california school
[5:16:15] nurse that they have to earn in
[5:16:19] order to be employed because
[5:16:20] they are certificated, but at
[5:16:23] this time staff wouldn't
[5:16:24] recommend making this a
[5:16:25] certificated position because we
[5:16:26] would not be able to consider
[5:16:28] keeping some of the current
[5:16:30] training staff.
[5:16:31] >> we don't want to do that.
[5:16:33] okay.
[5:16:35] and then the last one, in the
[5:16:37] ability to section, the first
[5:16:42] line it says, read analyze and
[5:16:45] understand... For physician and
[5:16:49] physical therapist orders but
[5:16:51] the trainers are on the same
[5:16:53] level as fiscal therapist so
[5:16:57] wouldn't take orders from a
[5:17:00] physical therapist?
[5:17:01] could we say collaboration with?
[5:17:04] >> what would happen in the case
[5:17:07] such as this, even though they
[5:17:08] are on equal terms one is maybe
[5:17:11] seeing the patient over time and
[5:17:12] advice here is the workout to
[5:17:14] do, can you please supersize
[5:17:16] that.
[5:17:17] that is where they read that and
[5:17:18] adapt. The trainers are not
[5:17:20] making a diagnosis, but a
[5:17:21] doctors gives a diagnosis to the
[5:17:23] therapist and that goes to the
[5:17:24] training to help them on site as
[5:17:26] opposed to having go to the
[5:17:28] medical office.
[5:17:29] >> I could add that orders
[5:17:31] doesn't mean I order to do this,
[5:17:34] it is doctor order and which
[5:17:36] then they would use their
[5:17:37] training skills to implement.
[5:17:39] >> saying collaboration with
[5:17:42] physical therapist would sound
[5:17:45] different?
[5:17:46] >> this is language typical to
[5:17:48] the industry and I think all the
[5:17:51] professionals involved would see
[5:17:53] it as such.
[5:17:55] >> just speaking on my own
[5:17:57] child's behalf that is what
[5:17:58] happened.
[5:17:59] she was given a workout routine
[5:18:02] and the athletic trainer helped
[5:18:04] her to fulfill that.
[5:18:09] >> that isn't a big deal.
[5:18:11] okay.
[5:18:13] >> how does the board feel
[5:18:14] entering into making sure I have
[5:18:16] all your points so you let me
[5:18:18] know if I forget anything.
[5:18:20] first, I like to actually ask
[5:18:21] dr. Mccoy,b is there any reason
[5:18:24] why we wouldn't change that to
[5:18:27] student athlete as the
[5:18:29] suggestion made?
[5:18:30] >> no, we can go through the
[5:18:31] document and make sure it is
[5:18:33] consistently reading as student
[5:18:35] athlete.
[5:18:36] >> the other trustees is there
[5:18:37] objection to that?
[5:18:40] >> I just had a question.
[5:18:44] you reviewed a lot of other job
[5:18:47] duties, responsibilities
[5:18:49] regarding the position, does it
[5:18:52] do all have students and just
[5:18:54] want to double check with
[5:18:55] jessica asking have you treated
[5:18:57] student in general and not just
[5:18:59] athletes?
[5:19:00] always student athletes?
[5:19:04] >> [inaudible] if there is a
[5:19:05] emergency and-
[5:19:06] >> can we have come to the mic?
[5:19:13] >> she was certified teacher of
[5:19:15] the year.
[5:19:16] asking her and mr. La belle to
[5:19:17] get insight from the field.
[5:19:19] >> the only time I had to do
[5:19:20] that is if there is a medical
[5:19:22] emergency during a game or at a
[5:19:24] practice where a bystander is
[5:19:27] there and might have a medical
[5:19:28] emergency.
[5:19:29] outside that, if somebody from
[5:19:32] pe hurts themselves you have to
[5:19:36] go to the school nurse.
[5:19:38] >> for those instances where you
[5:19:39] might go to the stands, it is
[5:19:41] like I don't want to-I want to
[5:19:43] put students and athletes versus
[5:19:45] one over the other because I
[5:19:47] want umbrella everybody if it
[5:19:50] makes sense.
[5:19:53] >> I would tell you all our
[5:19:55] employees have duty of care in a
[5:19:57] emergency, so for the specific
[5:19:59] job description I believe it is
[5:20:01] fine to put student athletes and
[5:20:04] same if the assistance principal
[5:20:08] or superintendent and someone
[5:20:10] has a medical emergency we need
[5:20:12] to act.
[5:20:13] we are all included, it just
[5:20:16] general employee responsibility.
[5:20:17] >> thank you.
[5:20:18] that is the first one.
[5:20:19] we are good with that.
[5:20:20] the second one that you asked
[5:20:21] was that we change or amend
[5:20:23] language around--
[5:20:26] >> on item k to clarify it that
[5:20:31] it is the athletic trainers who
[5:20:33] will be identifying it but they
[5:20:34] are going to be reporting it to
[5:20:37] site administration or
[5:20:39] maintenance and facilities
[5:20:41] because are responsible for the
[5:20:43] evaluation correction and
[5:20:44] follow-up.
[5:20:45] and, the chain of command?
[5:20:46] >> yes.
[5:20:47] >> dr. Mccoy, is there a reason-
[5:20:50] >> we can update the language
[5:20:52] but we know that at times the
[5:20:55] trainers do problem solving for
[5:20:57] us that isn't the demand of the
[5:20:58] job description, but that is
[5:21:00] just general good practice that
[5:21:01] is employed by the trainers.
[5:21:04] but we can update the language
[5:21:06] so there is a understanding that
[5:21:09] they are not the facilities
[5:21:11] department or risk management
[5:21:12] department.
[5:21:13] >> I think that's--mr. La belle.
[5:21:17] >> help me out matt.
[5:21:18] >> I think the idea of this is
[5:21:20] more of there is things beyond
[5:21:22] like the athletic field
[5:21:23] condition where something
[5:21:24] happens and tell the official or
[5:21:26] something else.
[5:21:27] it has to do with equipment.
[5:21:28] if somebody has equipment faulty
[5:21:31] they have to make modifications
[5:21:34] to get the athlete in play.
[5:21:37] I like them to have the ability
[5:21:39] to be able to make the safety
[5:21:41] decisions on had run if easy
[5:21:43] fixes.
[5:21:44] >> I would agree.
[5:21:45] I would-is there way to do both
[5:21:47] of those things though?
[5:21:49] >> we can craft language so
[5:21:51] essentially there are going to
[5:21:53] help with the broken chin strap
[5:21:55] and help tighten a face mask.
[5:21:59] not responsible for buying new
[5:22:01] chin straps or order chin
[5:22:03] straps.
[5:22:04] that falls to athletic director
[5:22:05] and head coach.
[5:22:06] >> is that amenable to you?
[5:22:08] >> yeah.
[5:22:09] >> yes?
[5:22:11] >> can I ask them?
[5:22:14] I don't know how often they have
[5:22:17] to do this.
[5:22:18] they know how--
[5:22:20] >> dr. Mccoy, how often do you
[5:22:23] think the athletic trainers are
[5:22:26] out there doing the facilities
[5:22:28] and are equipment and fixing?
[5:22:30] >> I think my answer is it
[5:22:33] depends.
[5:22:35] equipment heavy sports have this
[5:22:37] issue.
[5:22:40] girls flag and helmets and
[5:22:43] football equipment.
[5:22:47] our sports we hope are non
[5:22:50] contact we have less equipment
[5:22:52] to manage.
[5:22:55] I think it varies.
[5:22:56] also varies on the levels so
[5:22:58] sometimes the freshman come out
[5:23:00] with stuff on backwards and the
[5:23:02] athletic trainer says you pants
[5:23:05] go the other way.
[5:23:08] what we are not doing is
[5:23:09] mandating the trainer to take
[5:23:12] the responsibility of another
[5:23:15] supervisor, but in a practical
[5:23:19] sense, trainers are problem
[5:23:22] solvers with help with some of
[5:23:23] the issues in real time that are
[5:23:29] reported back.
[5:23:31] rather then have a job
[5:23:32] description saying you can only
[5:23:34] report, we'll write with
[5:23:36] language that is understanding
[5:23:38] there is real time assistance
[5:23:41] they provide but they are not
[5:23:42] the responsible supervisor when
[5:23:45] it comes to field condition that
[5:23:47] is reported to their supervise.
[5:23:50] er.
[5:23:51] >> yes, everyone agrees to that?
[5:23:54] is there anything we missed?
[5:23:57] I think that was it too.
[5:24:00] trustee botello lopez.
[5:24:02] >> I want to thank you to mr. La
[5:24:09] belle pushing this forward and
[5:24:10] looking at other job
[5:24:12] descriptions to keep the
[5:24:15] trainers ready to go.
[5:24:16] if we approve this and
[5:24:18] anticipate we will we are
[5:24:19] looking to do this for 26-27 and
[5:24:21] my question is, with that where
[5:24:24] will the funding come from?
[5:24:27] >> currently the original plan
[5:24:29] was for the contract to go
[5:24:32] through december 31 and then
[5:24:34] like we talked in matter days
[5:24:38] this flipped.
[5:24:39] as of august 3 is the last day
[5:24:41] on contract, so we want to try
[5:24:44] to push this through and we
[5:24:46] think the partners from oftsc
[5:24:50] helping and believing in the
[5:24:51] importance of this, but we will
[5:24:53] but those together to hopefully
[5:24:55] open and get people hired right
[5:24:56] away.
[5:24:57] the funding is basically the
[5:24:58] same.
[5:24:59] we were just paying common
[5:25:02] spirit instead.
[5:25:03] we are going to bring employees
[5:25:06] on as our own.
[5:25:07] >> what funding source?
[5:25:09] >> that is--lcap expense.
[5:25:15] >> how many trainers do we have
[5:25:17] now?
[5:25:19] currently we have five I think.
[5:25:24] and two vacancies so we will be
[5:25:26] getting those two filled as
[5:25:28] well.
[5:25:30] >> okay.
[5:25:31] thank you for your work on this.
[5:25:36] >> I think the last unless else
[5:25:39] I want to say thank you.
[5:25:40] the athletic trainers are so
[5:25:42] important and the kids rely on
[5:25:43] you just knowing you are there
[5:25:45] is such a important piece of
[5:25:47] their safety and security and
[5:25:49] allowing them to pursue the
[5:25:51] sports they love and having two
[5:25:53] children student athletes and
[5:25:55] the direct recipients of
[5:25:56] athletic trainers and their
[5:25:58] kindness and generosity, I want
[5:26:00] to say thank you and how
[5:26:01] exciting they are will be
[5:26:04] hopefully part of team ouhsd.
[5:26:08] we are really excited to have
[5:26:09] them be a part of our team
[5:26:12] authentically opposed to someone
[5:26:14] who is coming to be here from
[5:26:17] someplace else.
[5:26:18] I think it is going to make us
[5:26:20] stronger to have as part of the
[5:26:22] team in-house.
[5:26:24] any other questions or comments?
[5:26:28] okay.
[5:26:29] we have a first and second.
[5:26:30] call the question.
[5:26:31] all those in favor say aye.
[5:26:33] opposed?
[5:26:34] abstentions?
[5:26:42] trustee estrada was that a aye?
[5:26:45] thank you.
[5:26:46] motion passes 5-0.
[5:26:47] welcome to team ouhsd everyone.
[5:26:50] (applause)
[5:26:51] very exciting and thank you for
[5:26:52] your work on this.
[5:26:54] we are going to maybe take a 5
[5:26:57] minute break?
[5:26:59] it is 10:30 so need to make a
[5:27:01] decision about continuing.
[5:27:07] in favor of continuing.
[5:27:10] you want to do age before.
[5:27:11] absolutely.
[5:27:12] item h is consideration of
[5:27:13] approval of letter of support
[5:27:16] for the extension of prop 55.
[5:27:18] dr. Mccoy.
[5:27:19] >> thank you before the board
[5:27:20] consideration of approval letter
[5:27:22] support for extension of
[5:27:23] proposition 55.
[5:27:55] the extension of prop 55.
[5:28:32] >> thank you.
[5:28:33] I make the motion to approve.
[5:28:36] >> I second.
[5:28:37] >> thank you.
[5:28:38] first and second.
[5:28:39] I actually asked dr. Mccoy to
[5:28:40] put this on the agenda so thank
[5:28:43] you.
[5:28:44] and thank you to cta especially
[5:28:46] for collecting signatures again
[5:28:48] for this measure.
[5:28:49] they were instrumental in this.
[5:28:52] I want to give a dollar value.
[5:28:54] according to the california
[5:28:56] teacher association, the ventura
[5:28:59] county community college
[5:29:00] district is at risk of losing
[5:29:03] this amount, so 21 million, 833
[5:29:07] thousand, 933 dollars according
[5:29:13] to cta, the community colleges
[5:29:19] ventura county community college
[5:29:21] district is at risk of losing 21
[5:29:24] million, 833 thousand, 933
[5:29:26] dollars.
[5:29:27] just putting a dollar value to
[5:29:29] what this extension could mean
[5:29:31] for our own county.
[5:29:34] we have a first and second.
[5:29:36] any other questions or comments?
[5:29:40] all those in favor say aye.
[5:29:43] opposed say no.
[5:29:45] abstentions?
[5:29:46] thank you.
[5:29:47] motion passes 5-0.
[5:29:49] okay.
[5:29:51] now we are going to take 5 but I
[5:29:53] want to make sure everyone who
[5:29:55] is online watching understands
[5:29:57] that the contract has been
[5:29:59] posted to the superintendent's
[5:30:03] search page and it is the first
[5:30:05] item on the website as I am
[5:30:08] told.
[5:30:09] anyone out there who would look
[5:30:11] like to look at the contract
[5:30:13] before we vote check out the
[5:30:14] website or in the audience there
[5:30:16] are printed copies along the
[5:30:18] side wall.
[5:30:19] we'll take a 5 minute break and
[5:30:21] be back at 937.
[5:30:27] 1038.
[5:30:28] [recess]
[5:45:49] >> okay.
[5:45:50] alright.
[5:45:51] welcome back everybody.
[5:45:54] we are reconvening.
[5:45:55] we have board approval to go
[5:45:57] past 10:30.
[5:45:59] and we are starting with-I lost
[5:46:04] my place.
[5:46:05] the ric program.
[5:46:06] dr. Mccoy.
[5:46:07] >> we'll go to dr. Kelsen and
[5:46:10] data dudes to come down for the
[5:46:12] ric program update.
[5:46:14] thank you.
[5:46:15] >> hello everybody.
[5:46:16] welcome.
[5:46:17] >> thank you good evening
[5:46:19] everyone.
[5:46:20] the team is here to present to
[5:46:21] you a year two progress update
[5:46:25] on the restorative intervention
[5:46:27] campus program known as the ric
[5:46:30] program.
[5:46:31] this work had positive impact on
[5:46:34] students and families while
[5:46:37] supporting staff.
[5:46:40] presenting are daniel cook and
[5:46:42] john gonzalez that includes dr.
[5:46:48] gil, coordinates aaron ferguson
[5:46:50] and jay sorenson.
[5:46:52] are we advancing our own slides?
[5:46:55] >> no.
[5:46:56] >> okay.
[5:46:57] understood.
[5:46:58] next slide, please.
[5:46:59] on the next slide you see what
[5:47:01] has become known as the ric
[5:47:05] wheel.
[5:47:06] this is the work of educational
[5:47:10] services in ouhsd.
[5:47:12] if you added two spokes, career
[5:47:15] prepared and college ready, this
[5:47:17] is a unifying effort that guides
[5:47:20] the work of the restorative
[5:47:23] intervention campus program.
[5:47:26] we like to start the
[5:47:27] presentation officially with a
[5:47:29] story that really is a one
[5:47:32] example of a tremendous
[5:47:34] testimony for this program.
[5:47:36] if you advance the next slide.
[5:47:38] using multiple layered databases
[5:47:42] we found a number of student who
[5:47:44] had in the 12 grade had not
[5:47:46] applied to attend 4 year college
[5:47:49] or not admitted to 4 year
[5:47:50] college or hadn't necessarily
[5:47:54] applied for financial aid.
[5:47:57] on a really spontaneous effort
[5:48:00] in partnership with the cal
[5:48:01] state university channel island
[5:48:04] admission department we put
[5:48:06] together with staff a number of
[5:48:11] guaranteed admission events and
[5:48:14] one hosted here at the district
[5:48:15] office.
[5:48:16] the student and parent came in
[5:48:19] the room and we overheard them
[5:48:21] clearly saying they were going
[5:48:23] do this on their way to costco
[5:48:26] just across the street.
[5:48:27] as it turns out the student
[5:48:28] applied for csu admission,
[5:48:31] applied for financial aid and
[5:48:34] has been admitted and last I
[5:48:36] heard plans to attend.
[5:48:38] over and over and over again
[5:48:41] those anecdotes whether from a
[5:48:43] student who is finishing the
[5:48:45] high school career or just
[5:48:48] starting as the quotes on the
[5:48:49] screen show here, waiting for
[5:48:52] someone to find them to ask them
[5:48:55] how to improve their experience
[5:48:56] in the district through further
[5:48:59] support has been the earmark of
[5:49:01] this program.
[5:49:02] next slide, please.
[5:49:04] the translated mission of the
[5:49:06] restorative intervention campus
[5:49:08] program is to find the students
[5:49:09] in the academic middle who often
[5:49:12] get missed not just in this
[5:49:13] system, but in systems across
[5:49:17] education and to help them get
[5:49:20] back on track.
[5:49:23] we worked on a number of
[5:49:27] innovative programs and
[5:49:28] initiatives.
[5:49:29] next slide, please.
[5:49:31] they are categorized here.
[5:49:34] we have a more robust
[5:49:37] institutional research
[5:49:39] initiative that includes a
[5:49:40] number of dashboards for
[5:49:42] teachers, counselors,
[5:49:43] administrators.
[5:49:45] we are creating one for students
[5:49:46] and families that we will be
[5:49:49] rolling out beginning of next
[5:49:51] school year.
[5:49:52] our screeners which we'll talk
[5:49:54] more about in a few slides.
[5:49:56] the restorative interventions in
[5:49:58] place both in terms of the
[5:49:59] monitoring list, the
[5:50:02] intervention response team
[5:50:05] process, predictive analytics
[5:50:07] tied to things as the prosperity
[5:50:11] screener and climate survey and
[5:50:13] on the spot admission event I
[5:50:15] mentioned.
[5:50:16] we also have continued the good
[5:50:17] work with the board direction on
[5:50:19] grading for mastery and equity.
[5:50:22] insuring our students get more
[5:50:24] regular feedback on how they are
[5:50:26] doing in class while also
[5:50:30] norming our assignment types,
[5:50:31] grading bands and empower sites
[5:50:34] with additional information so
[5:50:37] they too can monitor progress.
[5:50:40] the additional projects we
[5:50:42] supported as a team are at the
[5:50:44] bottom of the slide.
[5:50:45] they include finding greater
[5:50:47] efficiencies across the system.
[5:50:50] if you advance next slide, it is
[5:50:54] important to say as I pass the
[5:50:56] mic to daniel and john that we
[5:51:00] share on behalf of many staff
[5:51:02] tremendous gratitude to dr.
[5:51:04] mccoy for your vision in
[5:51:06] bringing this program to the
[5:51:07] district and enthusiastically
[5:51:13] challenging us to carry it out.
[5:51:14] thank you.
[5:51:15] with that, I like to turn it
[5:51:17] over to daniel.
[5:51:19] >> thank you.
[5:51:20] welcome.
[5:51:21] congratulations.
[5:51:23] >> thank you very much I
[5:51:24] appreciate that.
[5:51:26] so, the first thing we will talk
[5:51:28] about is student check in
[5:51:29] process and this was established
[5:51:31] to solve several problems and it
[5:51:34] is in collaboration with several
[5:51:35] departments.
[5:51:37] the initial was to address
[5:51:41] saturday school check in process
[5:51:42] and also to validate check ins
[5:51:44] and support related to title 1.
[5:51:47] our first order of business was
[5:51:48] collaborating with business
[5:51:49] services and dr. Houston scott
[5:51:52] to work on establishing a system
[5:51:54] that allows for an adult and
[5:51:57] student verification of check
[5:51:58] ins which allows us to produce
[5:52:01] documents to tie to time sheets
[5:52:03] and allows to really verify we
[5:52:05] are serving the correct kids
[5:52:06] with the correct unduplicated
[5:52:09] check boxes so to speak, so that
[5:52:11] started with saturday school.
[5:52:14] mrs. Pike and mr. Nelson were
[5:52:17] instrumental and critical as
[5:52:19] well as aaron ferguson and jay
[5:52:23] sorenson.
[5:52:24] this started there and expanded
[5:52:25] immediately.
[5:52:26] we used to use qr codes
[5:52:30] independently managed, google
[5:52:32] forums and nothing against
[5:52:34] google forums but something this
[5:52:37] scale and magnitude and
[5:52:38] departments touching it, it was
[5:52:40] important we implemented
[5:52:41] something streamlined into
[5:52:45] synergy because we want
[5:52:48] everybody documented and
[5:52:49] available to understand what
[5:52:50] points of contract or
[5:52:53] interventions are supporting and
[5:52:54] it is critical in a really tight
[5:52:57] situation we understand where
[5:52:59] the system is supported them or
[5:53:00] has not and they have been
[5:53:02] missed.
[5:53:03] we establish with saturday
[5:53:04] school.
[5:53:05] wellness centers, thanks to mr.
[5:53:07] ortegerra and her team were
[5:53:08] really on board with
[5:53:10] streamlining this.
[5:53:11] the wellness centers are a model
[5:53:15] of documentation because they
[5:53:16] are more recent additions to the
[5:53:18] district and some are grant
[5:53:19] funded so always been really
[5:53:21] efficient with that and been the
[5:53:22] model citizens.
[5:53:27] we expanded to counseling halls.
[5:53:32] we pilot with a small group and
[5:53:34] get a lot of stakeholder
[5:53:37] feedback and adjust and
[5:53:38] implement wider scale.
[5:53:40] counseling halls and welcome
[5:53:42] centers and coordinator verdine
[5:53:44] reached about community schools
[5:53:46] and understand the services
[5:53:47] provided there so customize
[5:53:49] menus.
[5:53:51] also tutoring check in and in
[5:53:53] classrooms that is really
[5:53:55] critical because some are
[5:53:56] supported with specialized
[5:53:58] funds, so for business office it
[5:54:00] is really important we have a
[5:54:02] streamline process that also
[5:54:04] understands what student are
[5:54:05] interacting with the system all
[5:54:07] over.
[5:54:08] we know good things are
[5:54:09] happening.
[5:54:10] I think one of the silver lining
[5:54:12] to covid was we had this part of
[5:54:13] the contract that forced us to
[5:54:15] have 12 hours of documented
[5:54:17] student facing interventions.
[5:54:19] if we were not able to do our
[5:54:21] pre service days.
[5:54:23] what we found is at one site at
[5:54:25] camarillo high school when we
[5:54:27] developed it we found 6500
[5:54:31] interventions that were provided
[5:54:32] to students in the form of
[5:54:34] tutoring.
[5:54:35] those were never documented in
[5:54:36] synergy before.
[5:54:38] that told us good things were
[5:54:39] happening all over but didn't
[5:54:40] know about it.
[5:54:41] a teacher want necessarily
[5:54:43] sending e-mail to the counselor,
[5:54:44] just so you know, johnny showed
[5:54:47] up for math tutoring.
[5:54:48] it is always johnny and feels
[5:54:50] bad about it.
[5:54:51] so that was a really important
[5:54:53] aspect but also like again from
[5:54:55] a fiscal responsibility
[5:54:56] standpoint is really important
[5:54:58] to understand that we are
[5:54:59] actually service students when
[5:55:00] we give a time sheet and from a
[5:55:03] support standpoint we need to
[5:55:05] understand where we failing
[5:55:06] student to connect with services
[5:55:08] we know exist everywhere.
[5:55:09] on the horizon and reached out
[5:55:11] college and career centers which
[5:55:13] pushes into the cte space, minga
[5:55:16] data is used because of the
[5:55:18] efficiency of checking with a
[5:55:21] bar code with a student phone
[5:55:23] where they have their id and
[5:55:26] those high traffic areas like
[5:55:28] libraries which house homework
[5:55:30] centers.
[5:55:31] we want to make sure that is
[5:55:33] incorporated and additional
[5:55:34] counseling therapy.
[5:55:35] we started to explore partnering
[5:55:37] with special education
[5:55:38] department.
[5:55:39] it is little tricky because some
[5:55:41] of these systems are built into
[5:55:43] our system and outside service.
[5:55:49] they are not district employees.
[5:55:53] coordinating that has been a
[5:55:55] pretty large undertaking with a
[5:55:57] lot of different meetings.
[5:55:59] in the end we work with a
[5:56:02] outside agency to help with back
[5:56:04] end coding and we show them the
[5:56:06] process developed and better
[5:56:08] understand we designed this
[5:56:10] thing, this is how it integrates
[5:56:12] into the system, here is how it
[5:56:15] is syncing to the system and
[5:56:19] visible.
[5:56:20] what does it look like and they
[5:56:21] said something this robust
[5:56:23] estimated retail cost is in the
[5:56:25] hundred thousand dollar range
[5:56:27] and built in-house with our own
[5:56:29] team with the voice of employees
[5:56:31] to better inform it.
[5:56:32] we are really proud of this
[5:56:34] check in process and this is one
[5:56:36] of the bigger under takings this
[5:56:38] year.
[5:56:40] >> thank you.
[5:56:41] >> next slide, please.
[5:56:43] what you see is our survey
[5:56:45] calendar and one way we like to
[5:56:48] think about institutional
[5:56:51] research is better understanding
[5:56:53] one, our programs, but we always
[5:56:55] design these surveys around
[5:56:57] understanding our students and
[5:56:58] what dr. Kelsen spoke about
[5:57:00] earlier with the csuci event
[5:57:03] there is a element essential in
[5:57:05] the climate survey and it was a
[5:57:06] question about what do you
[5:57:08] intend to do right after high
[5:57:10] school.
[5:57:11] how student answered that
[5:57:12] provided a key pivot point for
[5:57:15] how we identify students that
[5:57:16] might be good fit so not just
[5:57:19] all call to all students even
[5:57:21] though advertised to all
[5:57:22] students we had very specific
[5:57:24] invitations.
[5:57:28] something daniel was saying a
[5:57:29] bit, the surveys the student
[5:57:30] check in it is for us and by us.
[5:57:33] these are our things.
[5:57:35] these surveys are replacement
[5:57:36] for things we used to pay for
[5:57:38] and so that's one element but we
[5:57:41] get to decide what goes in the
[5:57:43] survey that answers the
[5:57:44] questions we want to know about
[5:57:46] our programs and students.
[5:57:50] another piece I want to point
[5:57:51] out here is, if you look at the
[5:57:53] numbers in italics the
[5:57:57] completion rates you don't see
[5:57:58] those from third party surveys.
[5:58:01] the most recent survey the
[5:58:02] senior survey the class 2026,
[5:58:07] 93.7 percent seniors.
[5:58:11] we know a lot about the senior
[5:58:13] class and use that to inform
[5:58:15] next year's programs.
[5:58:18] another piece in the spirit of
[5:58:20] for us and by us, the climate
[5:58:22] survey questions we could have
[5:58:23] paid for a third party and get
[5:58:28] what we get.
[5:58:29] the questions organized into
[5:58:31] categories and domains so we
[5:58:33] understand basic climate
[5:58:35] categories that might be
[5:58:37] familiar but there is something
[5:58:38] else.
[5:58:39] the district values are inquiry,
[5:58:41] equity and wellness and made the
[5:58:44] meta domains so questions across
[5:58:45] the survey we grabbed those and
[5:58:48] created sort of a meta
[5:58:49] understanding of how do our
[5:58:51] students, staff and families
[5:58:54] perceive inquiry.
[5:58:56] dr. Mccoy speaks a lot about
[5:58:59] empathy and expectations.
[5:59:00] we had questions sprinkled
[5:59:02] throughout the survey that
[5:59:03] addressed that.
[5:59:04] we put those together and able
[5:59:05] to understand what are the
[5:59:07] perceptions of expectations in
[5:59:09] the district or empathy in the
[5:59:11] district.
[5:59:12] so, the other piece of it on
[5:59:15] surveys is we never just do it
[5:59:21] the survey.
[5:59:22] we try to turn it back around to
[5:59:23] have when possible road level
[5:59:27] inside data for better
[5:59:28] understanding our students.
[5:59:30] in that way, we own the data and
[5:59:33] that is something we never
[5:59:34] really got from our third party
[5:59:36] and the other piece, the savings
[5:59:38] that is yearly and ongoing
[5:59:40] because now we have the surveys
[5:59:42] they are ours and we get to run
[5:59:43] back again and modify and make
[5:59:46] them better but what we are able
[5:59:49] to do is save on a yearly basis.
[5:59:52] >> trustee botello lopez.
[5:59:55] >> I had a question.
[5:59:56] if you go back, the survey had
[5:59:58] successful from faculty.
[6:00:00] can you talk about that?
[6:00:01] >> this started as a site pilot
[6:00:04] and it's the short version that
[6:00:07] survey is, it is the nuts and
[6:00:10] bolts of a course expectation
[6:00:11] list.
[6:00:12] we asked teachers series of
[6:00:14] questions, and what we are able
[6:00:15] to do with that is two things.
[6:00:17] we better understand teacher
[6:00:19] grading practices and teacher
[6:00:20] policies.
[6:00:21] but, there is automation we can
[6:00:24] run to turn that into a
[6:00:25] individualized handout for every
[6:00:27] teacher so they can post it to
[6:00:30] their lms and classroom and put
[6:00:33] on the door.
[6:00:34] here is how to be successful in
[6:00:35] my class and grading policy and
[6:00:37] tutoring policy, the retake
[6:00:39] policy, because standard
[6:00:41] practice is go over class
[6:00:44] expectation in the first week
[6:00:45] and go in a drawer and never
[6:00:47] talk about them again but it is
[6:00:50] there and public and key pieces.
[6:00:53] there is something for the
[6:00:55] teacher and handout is created
[6:00:56] and something for programs in
[6:00:57] that we can understand where
[6:00:59] some of the policies are for
[6:01:00] what is implemented, and the
[6:01:02] other side is, every row of data
[6:01:06] we can cut that up and then a
[6:01:10] counselor can look up a specific
[6:01:12] teacher when the council a
[6:01:14] student and say here is the
[6:01:16] grade bands and retake policy
[6:01:18] have you tried this?
[6:01:19] it allowed to give the
[6:01:21] personalized support to students
[6:01:22] and all one survey that takes
[6:01:24] the teachers anywhere from 2 to
[6:01:26] 5 minutes but has all the
[6:01:29] downstream effects.
[6:01:31] >> wow.
[6:01:32] amazing.
[6:01:34] just like amazed.
[6:01:36] I want to say amazing and thank
[6:01:37] you so much.
[6:01:39] I hope that like this the screen
[6:01:43] we are looking at is so powerful
[6:01:45] and I do hope in some way that
[6:01:47] the trustees are able to see the
[6:01:50] results of the surveys and
[6:01:52] whether highlights if different
[6:01:54] kind of report if it is friday
[6:01:56] update however that happens but
[6:01:58] I do think it would be really
[6:02:00] interesting for me to see some
[6:02:04] of the results you think are
[6:02:06] more important for trustees to
[6:02:07] see.
[6:02:08] >> absolutely.
[6:02:11] >> thank you for letting me jump
[6:02:13] in for a minute john.
[6:02:15] the lcap the board voting on
[6:02:17] this evening is a direct result
[6:02:19] that climate survey and 11.840
[6:02:24] responses we received this year.
[6:02:26] we took that data from our
[6:02:28] students, staff, families and
[6:02:30] community and incorporated it
[6:02:32] into the revisiting of the
[6:02:34] actions and services aligned to
[6:02:37] board and lcap goals and we'll
[6:02:44] share more data.
[6:02:45] we are pleased as a team with
[6:02:46] the community response to us
[6:02:48] through that one particular
[6:02:51] tool.
[6:02:52] it also informs how we design
[6:02:53] the budget.
[6:02:55] >> I love how you pointed out
[6:02:57] that our mission is inquiry,
[6:03:01] equity wellness and those pieces
[6:03:04] of information that highlight
[6:03:05] the work done around those
[6:03:07] initiatives.
[6:03:10] that would be exciting to see
[6:03:12] what do our stakeholders have to
[6:03:14] say about this.
[6:03:15] >> we can do that.
[6:03:16] >> any comments or questions at
[6:03:18] this time?
[6:03:19] before we keep going?
[6:03:20] thank you.
[6:03:21] >> more surveys.
[6:03:22] this is a little of detail for
[6:03:24] you on the prosperity screen.
[6:03:29] the wellness screener,
[6:03:34] prosperity.
[6:03:36] a few points, we did test it
[6:03:39] last spring in the previous
[6:03:41] academic year and we got a nice
[6:03:43] bell curve distribution and
[6:03:45] matched that against what we did
[6:03:48] in the fall with over 13
[6:03:50] thousand responses and the data
[6:03:52] roughly tracks between pilot of
[6:03:54] 500 responses and then 13
[6:03:56] thousand.
[6:03:58] we feel confident in the
[6:04:00] reliability of it and then as
[6:04:02] our wellness specialist meet
[6:04:03] with the students and ric
[6:04:05] counselors meet with the
[6:04:07] students we feel a strong
[6:04:09] validity to the data as well.
[6:04:11] what I point out on the right is
[6:04:12] the percentage distribution of
[6:04:14] the prosperity levels where
[6:04:16] students would fall into.
[6:04:19] the most top two levels of
[6:04:21] concern were referred to
[6:04:25] wellness specialist and gave
[6:04:26] resources to filter just their
[6:04:28] list and they could also cross
[6:04:30] filter by other academic
[6:04:32] measurements.
[6:04:33] again, underscore the point when
[6:04:35] it our data we can do more with
[6:04:40] it.
[6:04:41] we can take the data and attach
[6:04:42] all the other data we have and
[6:04:44] present to the wellness
[6:04:45] specialist a whole child
[6:04:46] understanding who this student
[6:04:47] is not just what the survey
[6:04:50] responses are.
[6:04:51] the other part is the level 3
[6:04:53] struggling student we refer to
[6:04:55] the ric counselors and that
[6:04:58] extra capacity within the ric
[6:05:01] program to have another
[6:05:02] counseling resource that they
[6:05:06] can meet with the students and
[6:05:08] triage and figure what the
[6:05:10] student needs so if you look at
[6:05:12] the numbers, a good chunk of the
[6:05:16] students were seen and served by
[6:05:19] the support services and I think
[6:05:21] it is a really nice testament to
[6:05:23] not only our ability to take
[6:05:26] data and connect with our people
[6:05:28] that really do so many great
[6:05:29] things for our students.
[6:05:31] rather then having to wonder who
[6:05:33] I talk to, it is very specific.
[6:05:42] >> this is bit of our senior
[6:05:44] survey and I think what is
[6:05:46] powerful about this is we are
[6:05:47] able to understand not based on
[6:05:49] state metrix or some report
[6:05:52] provided that is maybe few years
[6:05:53] old or comparing us to another
[6:05:56] district or collection of
[6:05:58] charters or private schools,
[6:06:00] understanding where our students
[6:06:02] are going to school what the
[6:06:04] enrollment or acceptance rate
[6:06:06] is, which dr. Mccoy immediately
[6:06:08] pointed out we are above the
[6:06:11] state average on that school and
[6:06:13] it is so cool to be proud that
[6:06:14] and we get to celebrate and
[6:06:18] understand and look across the
[6:06:19] system how it is doing and dual
[6:06:23] enrollment comes up a lot so how
[6:06:26] many are taking a p and ib is
[6:06:29] different that needs to be
[6:06:30] transfixed to better understand
[6:06:32] they are not perfectly similar,
[6:06:35] so does take more work on that,
[6:06:37] but ib will be included.
[6:06:40] also dual enrollment.
[6:06:41] to understand what the average
[6:06:44] gpa of a student is to go to
[6:06:46] some of the schools like what
[6:06:49] was expected when I was a
[6:06:50] student I think it is different
[6:06:53] then students now.
[6:06:54] it is competitive field out
[6:06:56] there, but also all schools are
[6:06:57] different.
[6:06:58] all uc and csu with csu are the
[6:07:02] cal poly which are extremely
[6:07:04] competitive and understanding
[6:07:06] for our students that are
[6:07:07] sitting in front of the
[6:07:08] counselors what does it mean as
[6:07:10] a sophomore if your goal is
[6:07:12] this, what does it mean to get
[6:07:13] there to help really guide them
[6:07:15] on this is the dual enrollment
[6:07:18] path you should consider.
[6:07:19] you don't need to take 9 a p.
[6:07:21] it is a sprinkling of a p and
[6:07:24] dual enrollment and striking the
[6:07:27] balance but also understanding
[6:07:28] not every school is created
[6:07:29] equal and you don't have to go
[6:07:32] that extreme rigorous route to
[6:07:34] get into a great school.
[6:07:37] we also part of doing the senior
[6:07:39] survey and not represented here,
[6:07:41] is understanding the california
[6:07:44] college initiative is helping
[6:07:47] students understand with that
[6:07:49] data as well the large spray of
[6:07:52] like if you are interested in
[6:07:56] these majors and schools,
[6:07:57] connecting more intentionally
[6:07:59] with what paths are next.
[6:08:01] sometimes we take in the
[6:08:02] information and don't actually
[6:08:04] make connection.
[6:08:06] as john spoke to, combining all
[6:08:09] those different dot sets if to a
[6:08:12] more meaningful outcome for a
[6:08:14] student and help them
[6:08:15] understand.
[6:08:17] dr. Kelsen spoke to it.
[6:08:18] student and parent facing tool.
[6:08:21] our intention we are waiting for
[6:08:24] I think exclusively just a p
[6:08:26] exam scores for seniors.
[6:08:28] once we have the data from
[6:08:30] college board we just got sat
[6:08:31] yesterday so start incorporating
[6:08:33] that since the uc's are maybe
[6:08:35] wanting to introduce high stakes
[6:08:39] test again but whole picture of
[6:08:41] a p test and outs.
[6:08:45] are you passing the test and
[6:08:46] what it mean for the college
[6:08:50] admission and putting together
[6:08:51] for public facing because we
[6:08:53] want to empower student and
[6:08:54] parents with all these data sets
[6:08:57] without-little more here is how
[6:09:00] it looks for ouhsd for all these
[6:09:02] different schools in the system
[6:09:04] and we don't just measure our
[6:09:05] state schools and uc, we measure
[6:09:08] the most popular private
[6:09:10] schools.
[6:09:11] the private schools we settled
[6:09:14] on 21 and 22 based on
[6:09:16] clearinghouse data you just
[6:09:18] approved in the ed tech budget
[6:09:20] clearinghouse data is valuable
[6:09:23] to understand where student are
[6:09:25] ending up and reported 4 to 6
[6:09:26] years out but what is powerful
[6:09:28] is we get to understand where
[6:09:30] our students go and are not just
[6:09:32] the anecdotal evidence where
[6:09:34] they go.
[6:09:36] >> can I interrupt for a
[6:09:38] question?
[6:09:39] I thought about it since the
[6:09:40] previous slide with regard our
[6:09:41] redesignation and I know those
[6:09:44] rates have gone up substantially
[6:09:47] from a report previously.
[6:09:49] I don't remember the exact
[6:09:50] numbers but I know we have all
[6:09:52] done a really-made a concerted
[6:09:55] effort to help redesignate
[6:09:57] student and it is paying off and
[6:10:00] if it isn't represented if I get
[6:10:03] ahead of you and if it isn't
[6:10:07] somehow we could understand how
[6:10:10] those students -
[6:10:12] >> we have that incorporated the
[6:10:14] first gen status.
[6:10:16] if they are avid student or not
[6:10:18] is incorporated.
[6:10:19] our avid program which got
[6:10:23] nationally recognized program
[6:10:25] that is actually a big part of
[6:10:27] why we ask what we ask.
[6:10:30] john and I do sit down and come
[6:10:31] up with a lot of crazy ideas,
[6:10:33] but we get to talk to smart
[6:10:35] people and the avid line of
[6:10:41] questioning of what we want to
[6:10:42] understand about our students,
[6:10:45] all that is incorporated.
[6:10:48] will all that be on the public
[6:10:50] facing document?
[6:10:51] not necessarily based on
[6:10:53] population size said of schools,
[6:10:56] just like on the state data if
[6:10:58] under a certain percentage they
[6:11:00] just put asterisks, but we do
[6:11:03] disaggregate all those things
[6:11:04] and we also do that for our
[6:11:06] prosperity screener and also do
[6:11:08] that to understand if we make
[6:11:10] sure we sample enough of the
[6:11:12] students because we want to make
[6:11:13] sure we are not representing
[6:11:15] certain populations and
[6:11:17] representing and sampling all
[6:11:18] populations represented within
[6:11:19] the district.
[6:11:20] we also disaggregate further to
[6:11:24] 1 through 4 not just all
[6:11:26] students.
[6:11:27] you can be first or second
[6:11:29] grader and that is a very
[6:11:30] different experience then a
[6:11:32] student in secondary education
[6:11:33] particularly the 7-10 grade is a
[6:11:36] at risk population.
[6:11:37] >> that's why I ask.
[6:11:40] I think that long-term for us as
[6:11:43] trustees or whoever is a trustee
[6:11:46] to see how those students how
[6:11:49] this particular program the ric
[6:11:52] counselors how they have not
[6:11:54] only helped to redesignate our
[6:11:56] students and able to do dual
[6:11:57] enrollment or a p classes or cte
[6:12:01] programs they wouldn't
[6:12:02] necessarily be available to them
[6:12:04] because of the language
[6:12:07] acquisition requirements they
[6:12:10] would be participating in.
[6:12:12] how that effects the college
[6:12:14] bound.
[6:12:15] how it effects like the college
[6:12:17] and career prepared and that
[6:12:20] correlation for us if we are
[6:12:21] making a concerted effort to
[6:12:24] redesignate is great to see.
[6:12:26] >> providing the data like the
[6:12:27] data requested and also doesn't
[6:12:29] come up in detail in later
[6:12:32] slides, but there is a really
[6:12:34] huge concerted effort around all
[6:12:36] of this work around the ric
[6:12:37] program to really closely
[6:12:39] monitor recently classified
[6:12:41] reclassified students.
[6:12:44] not just senior survey but
[6:12:46] everything we are doing we
[6:12:47] created filters that allow us to
[6:12:48] get down into categorical and
[6:12:51] specifically title 3.
[6:12:55] and 4.
[6:12:56] 1 and 3 for our year 1-4.
[6:13:00] that is new addition this year
[6:13:02] is really getting down because
[6:13:04] our data does allow us to look
[6:13:06] at what year they are, but we
[6:13:10] hadn't prior done filters on
[6:13:13] wellness academic to make sure
[6:13:15] we focus on the year 1 through
[6:13:18] 4.
[6:13:19] that is big concerted effort
[6:13:20] around all this.
[6:13:21] not just senior survey data but
[6:13:23] also closely monitoring early
[6:13:25] years.
[6:13:26] >> we haven't gotten to the
[6:13:28] college and career part yet so I
[6:13:30] think thinking of the future
[6:13:31] that would be nice to see.
[6:13:34] because I'm sure there will be
[6:13:36] growth we can brag and be
[6:13:38] excited about.
[6:13:40] >> next slide, please.
[6:13:41] one of the core values of what
[6:13:43] we do in institutional research
[6:13:45] is democratizing data and the
[6:13:48] dashboards are a key piece that.
[6:13:51] it is taking data that exists in
[6:13:54] various places of our ouhsd data
[6:14:00] ecosystem and repackage so
[6:14:03] actionable and available to
[6:14:04] those that need them.
[6:14:05] we have a couple tools here.
[6:14:06] teachers but it is teachers and
[6:14:08] counselors.
[6:14:10] these things that you can see
[6:14:13] described and not going into too
[6:14:15] much detail on them, but again
[6:14:17] it takes data like for example,
[6:14:21] a teacher could see their entire
[6:14:23] roster of students and their
[6:14:25] grades in all of their classes.
[6:14:27] that doesn't exist in our
[6:14:28] student information system for
[6:14:30] the whole roster to see all the
[6:14:32] class periods.
[6:14:34] those type of views we create
[6:14:36] and then the other piece of it
[6:14:38] is we might take current grades
[6:14:40] and then attach to graduation
[6:14:42] progress and put it in a single
[6:14:44] view.
[6:14:45] that allows for different
[6:14:47] questions to be asked of the
[6:14:48] data to find different students.
[6:14:53] when we planned this
[6:14:54] presentation, I asked the
[6:14:57] question, should we include the
[6:14:58] slide because we talked about
[6:15:01] dashboard before and dr. Mccoy
[6:15:02] said this is the thing, because
[6:15:04] if we don't have data we are
[6:15:06] just talking about feelings or
[6:15:08] vibes.
[6:15:10] he is cooler and said vibes I
[6:15:11] think.
[6:15:21] all this is taking data and
[6:15:23] getting to the people that can
[6:15:25] really impact students and that
[6:15:27] leads us to our next part of the
[6:15:28] program.
[6:15:29] next slide.
[6:15:30] this is one of the key elements
[6:15:32] of the ric program as it relates
[6:15:34] to the ric counselor and I know
[6:15:37] those three letters are the
[6:15:39] same.
[6:15:40] the ric campus program is this
[6:15:43] whole thing you are seeing
[6:15:45] today.
[6:15:46] the ric counselor is one piece
[6:15:49] of it.
[6:15:50] this is one of those pieces
[6:15:52] where how we find our students
[6:15:54] that we wouldn't normally find.
[6:15:57] we use monitoring lists and our
[6:16:00] ric counselors have gone through
[6:16:01] about 6 different phases over
[6:16:03] the course of the year and they
[6:16:05] have different filters each
[6:16:07] phase and they are trying to
[6:16:09] find student that are showing
[6:16:10] signs of slipping away from
[6:16:12] success, but not quite so
[6:16:16] notable that our traditional
[6:16:18] systems of support would catch
[6:16:20] them.
[6:16:21] there is all kinds of really
[6:16:24] amazing stories that we hear
[6:16:26] from our counselors about the
[6:16:28] students they find and stories
[6:16:30] they have.
[6:16:31] from a top level program
[6:16:33] standpoint, we identified about
[6:16:34] 1800 students this year that
[6:16:36] received strategic specific
[6:16:39] support that they might have
[6:16:40] otherwise just been walking down
[6:16:42] the hallway during a passing
[6:16:44] period.
[6:16:45] that is a increase from about
[6:16:46] 1200 the previous year.
[6:16:47] there is good growth in the
[6:16:50] program and the type of
[6:16:51] interventions run the gamut.
[6:16:55] the counselors are impressive
[6:16:56] how they support students and
[6:16:59] the range of support they
[6:17:02] provide.
[6:17:03] a subset that is the
[6:17:05] intervention response team.
[6:17:06] it is more of a higher level of
[6:17:09] intervention and more on the
[6:17:11] tier 3 category.
[6:17:13] these are students where the ric
[6:17:15] counselor identified them as
[6:17:19] needing something extra so team
[6:17:21] is convened that is the full
[6:17:23] gamut of our helping people as
[6:17:28] dr. Kelsen calls them, so we get
[6:17:30] counselor in the room, the ric
[6:17:33] counselor and administrator and
[6:17:35] wellness specialist and teacher
[6:17:36] and run through the students and
[6:17:37] try to understand how to best
[6:17:39] support the student who isn't
[6:17:40] really connecting with our
[6:17:43] curriculum.
[6:17:45] what happens is they have a
[6:17:49] decision, off-boarding means
[6:17:52] they are doing okay and on their
[6:17:54] way.
[6:17:55] to your question about el, the
[6:17:57] different statuss, that is on
[6:18:01] this the data table you see is a
[6:18:04] lot bigger, just doesn't fit on
[6:18:06] the slide but we track that for
[6:18:08] the type of making sure we are
[6:18:10] reaching all the students that
[6:18:12] need to.
[6:18:13] next slide, please.
[6:18:20] >> this is another tool we are
[6:18:21] doing.
[6:18:22] what we are trying to do for the
[6:18:24] sites is help them understand
[6:18:25] this isn't another thing it is
[6:18:27] integrated in their the things
[6:18:29] they need to do all the time for
[6:18:31] all students.
[6:18:32] what you see here is snapshot on
[6:18:34] new view of what the goals are
[6:18:37] as and feedback from the team on
[6:18:40] critical areas to follow up.
[6:18:43] a team will come outside
[6:18:46] unbiased and say we really think
[6:18:49] you should focus on these three
[6:18:51] or four things, which you can
[6:18:54] see on the top.
[6:18:55] they are listed horizontally,
[6:18:57] vertical on had left and this is
[6:18:58] a very snapshot of much larger
[6:19:01] tool is all the different
[6:19:03] components you saw.
[6:19:04] the dashboard, intervention
[6:19:06] tools, irt, the grading for
[6:19:08] mastery equity work, all that
[6:19:10] and it shows where there is
[6:19:13] align.
[6:19:16] and next step is provide
[6:19:17] resources linked here and as
[6:19:19] they go through the
[6:19:20] accreditation visit they can see
[6:19:22] all the ed service work
[6:19:25] happening and how it aligns with
[6:19:27] site specific goals and allows
[6:19:28] the site voice to remain
[6:19:31] important and the district
[6:19:32] support of those goals to be
[6:19:35] more easily connected and we are
[6:19:37] trying to-the guy with the red
[6:19:40] string between all the pictures
[6:19:41] and trying to connect as many
[6:19:43] dots as possible so this is a
[6:19:44] fool we wanted to show you.
[6:19:47] we talked about the csu on the
[6:19:50] spot admission.
[6:19:56] you can see from pacifica and
[6:19:59] oxnard and ci.
[6:20:00] in the end, we sit down and look
[6:20:02] at a lot of spread sheets and
[6:20:05] data and write a lot of code.
[6:20:07] john writes code better then I
[6:20:09] do and are then I write code and
[6:20:11] he corrects it and said you
[6:20:12] should have done my way to begin
[6:20:14] with in and end that work
[6:20:16] doesn't mean anything until you
[6:20:18] are in front of students and
[6:20:20] watch power things happen like
[6:20:23] them getting accepted to college
[6:20:25] and they say there is a still a
[6:20:27] chance because it is march
[6:20:29] senior year and wrote themselves
[6:20:31] off as community college
[6:20:32] students and that sounds maybe
[6:20:34] not like a positive light about
[6:20:35] community college.
[6:20:36] I was a community college
[6:20:38] student myself, but I would have
[6:20:40] gotten into a career faster if I
[6:20:42] had gone to csu and I think
[6:20:44] there is a lot of power in
[6:20:46] putting students on a pathway of
[6:20:48] prosperous future which is
[6:20:50] literally our tag line and so it
[6:20:52] is important to identify the
[6:20:54] students and give them the
[6:20:56] opportunity.
[6:20:57] it was a really no pressure but
[6:20:59] because it was so targeted, you
[6:21:00] could see these rooms are not
[6:21:04] gym fill would all the senior
[6:21:06] class, because not all the
[6:21:07] senior class needed the extra
[6:21:10] push.
[6:21:11] we needed to find the student
[6:21:12] based on data points john will
[6:21:15] point out and the stories that
[6:21:16] came out are truly impactful and
[6:21:20] I think this is what makes all
[6:21:21] the work worth it and all the
[6:21:23] spreadsheet blur worth it.
[6:21:30] >> I think this is one of the
[6:21:32] most important part of the
[6:21:33] presentation today because this
[6:21:36] program didn't exist in our
[6:21:39] initial construction of the ric
[6:21:40] program.
[6:21:41] it is that we have been
[6:21:43] gathering data understanding how
[6:21:44] it connects, talking with
[6:21:47] students and counselor and
[6:21:49] teachers what students need and
[6:21:50] put all this together in a new
[6:21:52] novel way that leads to
[6:21:55] something special.
[6:21:56] not going through all this, but
[6:21:58] these are data points that
[6:21:59] pretty much everybody in the
[6:22:01] state has.
[6:22:02] these are commonly available
[6:22:04] data points.
[6:22:05] the exception may be the climate
[6:22:10] survey where we ask what do you
[6:22:12] want it do immediately after
[6:22:13] high school and combining the
[6:22:14] question with all the other one
[6:22:16] produce the group of 639
[6:22:19] students that were identified as
[6:22:21] potentially able to go to 4 year
[6:22:24] but hadn't applied.
[6:22:31] >> one adjustment is we were
[6:22:33] just highlighted at vcoe as the
[6:22:35] ccgi network which is a
[6:22:38] california college initiative.
[6:22:41] we are the leading district in
[6:22:44] implementing that, and in doing
[6:22:46] so, having and to be fair to
[6:22:49] pacifica they are number one.
[6:22:51] walking to success.
[6:22:53] thanks to mrs. [inaudible] but I
[6:22:56] think it goes to show that the
[6:22:58] work dr. Chavez and the a p
[6:23:00] align to the work and counselors
[6:23:02] align to the work, that is a
[6:23:04] huge undertaking to be number
[6:23:05] one in the county and then that
[6:23:07] was able to inform this data
[6:23:09] more and further.
[6:23:10] next slide.
[6:23:12] you take 3700, 3200 seniors and
[6:23:17] synthesize down to 639
[6:23:19] identified that got personalized
[6:23:21] invitations and some sites I
[6:23:23] want to shout out mr. Jimenez at
[6:23:27] rio mesa, he did a pre meeting
[6:23:29] before the actual meeting to say
[6:23:30] this is important and real thing
[6:23:31] because we get a lot of parent
[6:23:33] squares the personalized touch
[6:23:35] made a huge difference and had a
[6:23:38] really good rate.
[6:23:39] sites with a huge presence from
[6:23:41] counselors and teams you felt
[6:23:43] difference from student because
[6:23:44] they know those people and these
[6:23:47] people were strangers and it
[6:23:49] felt powerful and real impact
[6:23:51] happening real time.
[6:23:52] 397 students attended.
[6:23:54] there is attrition there.
[6:23:56] that is for a variety of
[6:23:58] reasons.
[6:23:59] athletic dismissal and absences.
[6:24:03] after the invitation it isn't
[6:24:05] for me and 120 attended the
[6:24:07] second room which the first room
[6:24:09] is here is why you should
[6:24:11] consider csu uci and the
[6:24:15] favorite student who said we was
[6:24:18] going to community college and
[6:24:19] found he could get the teaching
[6:24:21] prejudicial and degree in four
[6:24:22] years because they have the
[6:24:26] integrated program in four years
[6:24:29] and said I can be a teacher in
[6:24:31] four years and he was excited
[6:24:33] and went to the career center
[6:24:34] applied there.
[6:24:35] 120 from the 639 actually filled
[6:24:38] out applications.
[6:24:43] >> this is the bottom line
[6:24:44] summary of this program and
[6:24:47] there was a little line on the
[6:24:49] slide with the pictures I just
[6:24:51] want to highlight, which is,
[6:24:52] this was a idea at the end of
[6:24:55] february and by the middle of
[6:24:56] april all this had happened.
[6:24:59] our district is able to do
[6:25:01] really incredible things when
[6:25:04] they organize around a vision
[6:25:06] and do something for students.
[6:25:07] I just want to make that really
[6:25:09] clear.
[6:25:10] it was really just wonderful to
[6:25:13] be a part of and so, what did we
[6:25:15] end up with in the end?
[6:25:17] 140 students started a college
[6:25:19] application.
[6:25:20] even that is a big number.
[6:25:24] 98 students had one more life
[6:25:27] option available.
[6:25:28] they don't have to go there, but
[6:25:29] had the choice.
[6:25:30] they are having as many life
[6:25:35] options available as we can
[6:25:36] provide.
[6:25:37] 41 are going to a 4 year college
[6:25:39] that were not otherwise in the
[6:25:42] system at all.
[6:25:43] that number we expect to grow.
[6:25:47] we will get more organized.
[6:25:50] this was a idea february 28.
[6:25:53] we backward plan, get more
[6:25:56] organized and I think this could
[6:25:59] be something special and lot of
[6:26:00] lives changed and families
[6:26:02] impacted in a positive way and
[6:26:04] so that is why this didn't exist
[6:26:07] and why the ric program I think
[6:26:09] is special and love being a part
[6:26:11] of it, is this program didn't
[6:26:13] exist when we left for president
[6:26:16] week or ski week.
[6:26:19] but now we got 41 kids going to
[6:26:21] college and that wouldn't be
[6:26:23] possible without the support to
[6:26:25] innovate.
[6:26:26] we called dr. Kelsen sunday
[6:26:28] night and said we have a idea.
[6:26:30] she took our call and listened
[6:26:31] to us and asked questions, let's
[6:26:33] go.
[6:26:38] that is the leader we are
[6:26:39] getting and the leader in dr.
[6:26:42] mccoy.
[6:26:45] thank you we have couple more
[6:26:46] but that's it.
[6:26:50] >> briefly key take away's, the
[6:26:53] restorative intervention campus
[6:26:55] program we work with improvement
[6:26:57] science, plan do study act
[6:27:00] design measurement tools to
[6:27:02] drive insight and innovation
[6:27:03] using student staff families
[6:27:05] voice to make it happen.
[6:27:07] we produced new innovations we
[6:27:10] strengthened site district
[6:27:11] communication, coherence and
[6:27:15] time after time story after
[6:27:19] story the feedback is telling us
[6:27:21] students lives are being
[6:27:22] impacted for the good because of
[6:27:24] the work of the team.
[6:27:26] thank you for letting us share a
[6:27:28] bit about the restorative
[6:27:31] intervention campus program.
[6:27:32] >> thank you
[6:27:33] (applause)
[6:27:39] thank you so much for staying
[6:27:41] and all you have done and on
[6:27:44] behalf of the district and
[6:27:47] student.
[6:27:48] >> to echo comments made by the
[6:27:50] team.
[6:27:51] this is not something we are
[6:27:52] seeing in any other system now.
[6:27:54] especially this robust local
[6:27:55] data system and as someone who
[6:27:58] oversaw the youth truth survey
[6:28:01] we were lucky to get 6, 700
[6:28:04] student responses total and
[6:28:08] looking at 13 thousand student
[6:28:09] responding the response to
[6:28:11] senior survey, a key data point
[6:28:13] from the senior survey and dan
[6:28:16] and john are cut for time in all
[6:28:18] the things they do, but we had a
[6:28:21] slide in the senior survey that
[6:28:23] indicated 51 percent of the
[6:28:24] students responded they are
[6:28:27] first gen in the senior class
[6:28:30] and so that was a eye popping
[6:28:32] number as we were reviewing the
[6:28:34] data in advance of this report,
[6:28:37] so when we say we are serving a
[6:28:38] community that we create access
[6:28:42] for, that was supported in the
[6:28:44] data and we see that real time.
[6:28:47] this is just in infancy and has
[6:28:50] a growth potential, but also we
[6:28:53] want to appreciate the board's
[6:28:55] support of this innovation.
[6:28:57] not all boards would provide the
[6:28:59] trust and the level of
[6:29:01] commitment for us to invest in
[6:29:04] teacher leadership and invest in
[6:29:06] a new type of counseling
[6:29:08] position to invest in internal
[6:29:12] data base work.
[6:29:13] it is a money saver and also
[6:29:14] creates these pockets of
[6:29:17] innovation that continue to be
[6:29:19] found as the program continues
[6:29:20] to grow and I think dan and john
[6:29:22] have been tireless in the
[6:29:24] support of the program so I
[6:29:25] thank them personally.
[6:29:27] >> thank you.
[6:29:28] (applause)
[6:29:31] >> I have one question.
[6:29:32] are both going to stay next year
[6:29:35] continuing on with us?
[6:29:36] >> mr. Cook will be assistant
[6:29:38] principal.
[6:29:40] >> I could answer that for them.
[6:29:42] if I may, mr. Cook earned a
[6:29:45] promotion to serve as assistance
[6:29:47] principal at a district high
[6:29:49] school, and mr. Gonzalez will be
[6:29:53] continuing the good work and
[6:29:55] also staying connected in the
[6:29:56] classroom couple periods.
[6:29:58] >> thank you.
[6:30:00] >> congratulations;
[6:30:05] >> thank you.
[6:30:06] >> I will be quick.
[6:30:07] I remember doing I think the
[6:30:08] first site visit at camarillo
[6:30:11] with mr. La belle and getting a
[6:30:14] preview of ric and what it was
[6:30:15] and when I heard we were going
[6:30:17] to implement it on district
[6:30:19] level I excited and didn't know
[6:30:21] what it meant so last year when
[6:30:24] we got the presentation to get a
[6:30:26] taste what it is was cool and
[6:30:29] this year to see it, that is
[6:30:31] incredible and I know I talk my
[6:30:37] dad a lot and it is 1130 so not
[6:30:39] trying to get emotional, but my
[6:30:42] dad says, when a student earns a
[6:30:44] college degree, it changes not
[6:30:47] just one life, but it changes a
[6:30:49] generation.
[6:30:51] that's 41 families, 41
[6:30:56] generations.
[6:30:58] that's impactful.
[6:31:00] that is incredible.
[6:31:04] amazing.
[6:31:05] thank you.
[6:31:06] >> thank you.
[6:31:07] I will cry.
[6:31:08] trustee botello lopez.
[6:31:13] >> dr. Kelsen this work started
[6:31:15] with you too.
[6:31:16] I remember when we hired you in
[6:31:18] that position and ed services
[6:31:21] has been the place innovation
[6:31:23] happened for ouhsd, so I think
[6:31:24] it was with great pride that you
[6:31:26] had brought it originally.
[6:31:29] and see it the growth and just
[6:31:31] the key members of dan and john
[6:31:34] and what they have done to
[6:31:35] really wrap their arms around
[6:31:38] this and extending it out.
[6:31:39] I remember reading all the
[6:31:40] friday updates and saying, now
[6:31:42] we are doing this with our
[6:31:44] seniors and they are doing the
[6:31:47] application process and just
[6:31:48] seeing the numbers coming live.
[6:31:50] that just is very thoughtful
[6:31:53] work and comes with a lot of
[6:31:54] heart and I can hear it in
[6:31:57] everything you are saying
[6:31:58] through the slides so I want to
[6:32:00] thank you and we continue this
[6:32:03] good work and know it will be
[6:32:04] john so hope we find the
[6:32:06] complement to him which is a new
[6:32:08] dan maybe in that respect or
[6:32:09] what that might look like.
[6:32:10] I want to make sure this
[6:32:11] continues to grow.
[6:32:13] and what it looks like.
[6:32:15] just keep moving forward and
[6:32:17] doing the good work and see what
[6:32:18] happens year 3 because now we
[6:32:20] have fall and we have a game
[6:32:22] plan and like the idea working
[6:32:24] backwards and moving forward.
[6:32:27] thank you.
[6:32:28] >> agreed.
[6:32:30] would you do me a favor and go
[6:32:31] back to the slide that had the
[6:32:34] 41 but the number of
[6:32:37] applications started?
[6:32:41] that one.
[6:32:42] so, this one actually stuck out.
[6:32:46] the 41 the new confirmed and
[6:32:48] intend to enroll, but also what
[6:32:51] stuck out to me is 140 new
[6:32:54] applications and the 98 new
[6:32:56] completed applications.
[6:32:58] those students have the ability
[6:33:00] to go back and finish an
[6:33:02] application or if they completed
[6:33:06] one and accepted but chose not
[6:33:07] to go, they can change their
[6:33:09] mind again, right?
[6:33:10] so, it isn't only the 41, the 41
[6:33:13] committed.
[6:33:14] but it is also 140 that had a
[6:33:18] opportunity to engage in the
[6:33:20] process to have someone to hear
[6:33:22] more then one person say this is
[6:33:24] actually an opportunity for you,
[6:33:26] this is real for you.
[6:33:27] it might not be the right time
[6:33:30] for 140, it is right time for
[6:33:32] 41, but it doesn't mean the
[6:33:34] other hundred students don't
[6:33:35] have the opportunity to go back
[6:33:37] and because they experienced it,
[6:33:39] I don't want to discount that.
[6:33:41] just because they chosen not to
[6:33:43] now, doesn't mean they won't in
[6:33:44] the future.
[6:33:45] I think that again to dr.
[6:33:47] mccoy's credit, the hundred
[6:33:49] percent fafsa and trying to make
[6:33:51] sure every child has the
[6:33:53] opportunity not just for now but
[6:33:54] for next year or the year after
[6:33:56] when they decided okay I, I have
[6:33:58] been in the world for a year or
[6:34:00] two and I do want to go to
[6:34:02] college and then they have that
[6:34:04] process tart started and that
[6:34:07] also will be a really
[6:34:09] interesting point of data to see
[6:34:10] how many kids need a gap year
[6:34:14] and go and how many have to work
[6:34:15] a while to earn money and live
[6:34:17] at home in order to go.
[6:34:18] or need the confidence or for
[6:34:21] whatever life reason needed a
[6:34:22] break before they go, but those
[6:34:24] 140 students we have data on
[6:34:27] them and somehow to maybe
[6:34:30] hopefully with these but maybe
[6:34:31] in the future have that data to
[6:34:34] see how many students you have
[6:34:36] given the opportunity to do do
[6:34:39] that at some point I think would
[6:34:41] be really special.
[6:34:43] because it is more then just 41.
[6:34:46] not to mention siblings and
[6:34:51] parents to hear about their
[6:34:53] child and their sibling gives
[6:34:55] everybody encouragement.
[6:34:56] I think that is a really
[6:34:57] important piece of it too.
[6:35:00] any-
[6:35:02] >> there is some benefits that
[6:35:05] are hidden within this and
[6:35:07] couple.
[6:35:08] one is, the 41 confirmed intent
[6:35:12] to enroll at csuci there were
[6:35:18] students that asked can I also
[6:35:20] apply to this or that school and
[6:35:21] they helped them apply to
[6:35:23] different csu and what we don't
[6:35:25] have is the csu system wide data
[6:35:28] to know how many of those 140
[6:35:30] might also plan to enroll at a
[6:35:33] different school.
[6:35:34] I don't want to make some sort
[6:35:36] of faulty assumption, but the
[6:35:37] number could be higher and again
[6:35:41] I think the navigational capital
[6:35:43] that happens from breaking
[6:35:45] the-here is how it works, here
[6:35:46] is how the system works can have
[6:35:49] second order type benefit.
[6:35:51] I think there is more to it then
[6:35:54] just the numbers.
[6:35:55] >> interesting next year with
[6:35:57] guaranteed admissions and how
[6:35:59] that rolled out.
[6:36:02] mr. Cook would you like to talk
[6:36:03] about that.
[6:36:05] >> a lot of students choose
[6:36:06] community college and we have a
[6:36:08] huge college going rate then the
[6:36:11] local district but they choose
[6:36:13] for financial reasons.
[6:36:14] you said maybe a gap year due to
[6:36:16] financial and wanting to work.
[6:36:17] a lot of the students didn't
[6:36:19] know and staff didn't know that
[6:36:21] there is a actually a promise
[6:36:25] and give free tuition for those
[6:36:29] that qualifies and now we know
[6:36:32] the deadlines there are students
[6:36:36] with free tuition at csu.
[6:36:39] when you think of pell grant
[6:36:42] people didn't know about this
[6:36:44] because it is such a new thing
[6:36:46] and dominges hills has one.
[6:36:49] it is targeted and local and
[6:36:51] that is powerful because the
[6:36:52] students say I can go free
[6:36:54] there, I will do that.
[6:36:56] getting the opportunities in
[6:36:57] front of students requires
[6:36:59] navigation and john having the
[6:37:02] connection with csu ci and
[6:37:04] getting the data we wouldn't
[6:37:06] know the application and
[6:37:08] completed applications what
[6:37:09] california colleges gives us is
[6:37:11] just they applied which is
[6:37:13] helpful because we can target,
[6:37:14] but knowing the process allowed
[6:37:16] to give ric counselors here are
[6:37:19] 12 kids who showed up and didn't
[6:37:21] finish the application, see what
[6:37:22] help they need and sometimes it
[6:37:24] was a ric councilor and
[6:37:25] sometimes a college career tech
[6:37:26] and every site had the autonomy
[6:37:31] to assign the work.
[6:37:32] that was powerful to have it
[6:37:34] data through partnership with
[6:37:36] k-8 and with local university
[6:37:39] that are way more expanded that
[6:37:40] allow this to be more powerful.
[6:37:43] >> thank you.
[6:37:44] thank you.
[6:37:46] anybody else have questions or
[6:37:47] comments?
[6:37:49] thank you.
[6:37:50] we look forward to the future.
[6:37:54] okay.
[6:37:55] getting towards the end folks.
[6:37:58] public comments.
[6:38:00] before we do 10 a we are going
[6:38:02] to take an opportunity to allow
[6:38:04] the public to address the board.
[6:38:07] dr. Mccoy do I need to read this
[6:38:09] again?
[6:38:10] we only have one speaker card.
[6:38:13] mr. Sturgeon unless there are
[6:38:14] others.
[6:38:17] you have the opportunity to
[6:38:19] speak to the board for three
[6:38:21] minutes.
[6:38:27] >> [inaudible]
[6:38:31] >> we are glad too.
[6:38:34] >> [inaudible] I'm glad I sat
[6:38:35] through this 5 hour
[6:38:37] presentation.
[6:38:39] can you speak into the
[6:38:40] microphone?
[6:38:43] >> virginia can you turn on the
[6:38:46] mic?
[6:38:47] >> sorry.
[6:38:54] >> I want to share that I really
[6:38:56] appreciated the information that
[6:38:58] was shared.
[6:39:00] I am a visual auditory learner
[6:39:06] and this helped me because I
[6:39:07] didn't get all the information
[6:39:13] reading this.
[6:39:14] I have some questions and
[6:39:15] comments to the board.
[6:39:18] when you take another look at
[6:39:21] this program and I do commend
[6:39:22] for all the information the
[6:39:24] stats, but this program ric, not
[6:39:29] talking about the campus
[6:39:31] intervention, but ric I like to
[6:39:35] ask, what if you take a look
[6:39:38] board, I understand this is the
[6:39:40] third year you take a look at
[6:39:41] the initial plan that was asked
[6:39:46] of my understanding some of the
[6:39:48] comprehensive site academic
[6:39:50] guidance counselors.
[6:39:52] I kept hearing the word
[6:39:54] counselor repeated during this
[6:39:55] presentation.
[6:39:57] I would like to ask and know you
[6:40:01] can't answer, that in reference
[6:40:03] to counselors, were we just
[6:40:06] talking about the ric
[6:40:07] counselors?
[6:40:08] now, when I missed the earlier
[6:40:12] session in which the job
[6:40:15] description was shared to the
[6:40:17] board.
[6:40:18] I missed that.
[6:40:19] but, in reviewing the
[6:40:22] information of the
[6:40:23] responsibility and roles of a
[6:40:25] ric, and I looked at the role of
[6:40:27] the academic guidance counselor
[6:40:29] and mentioned earlier in the
[6:40:31] meeting that the original-the
[6:40:33] revision hasn't been made since
[6:40:35] 2013 for the guidance and
[6:40:38] academic counselor, when I
[6:40:39] looked at that and I looked at
[6:40:41] this presentation and I heard I
[6:40:44] see similarities.
[6:40:47] I want you to take a look at
[6:40:48] that, and the reason is, I
[6:40:53] didn't hear and like to also ask
[6:40:55] you board to ask all counselors
[6:41:00] academic, the student wellness
[6:41:03] if they participated in any
[6:41:05] input feedback in regards to
[6:41:08] what is presented this evening.
[6:41:11] I am also going to suggest board
[6:41:15] that you all go to the campuses
[6:41:22] and you meet with the ric
[6:41:23] counselors and ask them and I
[6:41:25] know now it is june 24 they are
[6:41:27] all on vacation.
[6:41:29] when school starts, go to the
[6:41:32] respective school sites and ask
[6:41:34] the rics what are you doing,
[6:41:37] what have you done these past
[6:41:39] three years.
[6:41:41] thank you.
[6:41:42] >> thank you.
[6:41:44] okay.
[6:41:45] we are moving 10 a.
[6:41:50] thank you.
[6:41:51] I have a script here.
[6:41:58] this is the board discussion and
[6:42:07] approval of a contract for a new
[6:42:10] superintendent dr. Virginia
[6:42:12] kelsen.
[6:42:13] the proposed contract contains
[6:42:15] the following material
[6:42:18] items:number one, the term is
[6:42:20] three years from july 1, 2026 to
[6:42:25] june 30, 2029.
[6:42:27] the annual base salary is $285
[6:42:31] thousand.
[6:42:33] the board may increase the base
[6:42:35] salary if the superintendent
[6:42:37] receives a satisfactory
[6:42:40] evaluation.
[6:42:41] number three, the superintendent
[6:42:43] is entitled to a stipend for
[6:42:47] earned doctorate degree in the
[6:42:51] same amount as granted to other
[6:42:53] certificated management
[6:42:54] employees.
[6:42:56] number four, the superintendent
[6:42:58] is entitled to receive the same
[6:43:01] health and welfare benefits as
[6:43:03] other certificated management
[6:43:06] employees.
[6:43:07] and number five, the board may
[6:43:09] terminate the contract without
[6:43:11] cause at any time in which case
[6:43:13] the superintendent shall be
[6:43:14] entitled to the base salary from
[6:43:17] the date of termination until
[6:43:20] the expiration of the contract
[6:43:22] for a period not to exceed 12
[6:43:26] months which ever is less.
[6:43:28] that concludes the summary of
[6:43:30] the contract.
[6:43:32] a complete copy of the contract
[6:43:34] may be reviewed on the district
[6:43:37] website as an attachment to this
[6:43:39] agenda and is also available
[6:43:41] here in the board room in
[6:43:43] printed form.
[6:43:45] is there a motion for this item?
[6:43:51] >> move to approve.
[6:43:52] >> second.
[6:43:53] >> thank you.
[6:43:54] we have a first and second.
[6:43:55] are there any comments or
[6:43:57] questions?
[6:44:01] trustee baker torres.
[6:44:05] >> first I want to say I support
[6:44:08] dr. Kelsen.
[6:44:09] and I want you to be successful.
[6:44:11] however, as a new superintendent
[6:44:13] coming into a district that is
[6:44:16] facing significant challenges, I
[6:44:18] believe a two year contract
[6:44:22] would have been more
[6:44:23] responsible.
[6:44:24] this gives the board an
[6:44:25] opportunity to evaluate progress
[6:44:26] and gives dr. Kelsen an
[6:44:28] opportunity to determine whether
[6:44:31] ouhsd is the right fit for her
[6:44:33] as well.
[6:44:34] a longer contract may be
[6:44:36] appropriate in the future, but I
[6:44:38] believe it should be earned
[6:44:39] through demonstrated success,
[6:44:41] not granted before we had the
[6:44:43] opportunity to work together.
[6:44:45] I want you to know that up
[6:44:47] front.
[6:44:48] >> any other comments or
[6:44:49] questions?
[6:44:53] trustee estrada.
[6:44:56] >> thank you.
[6:44:57] I think it is important to
[6:45:02] distinguish between the
[6:45:04] [inaudible] employment contract
[6:45:05] before us now.
[6:45:06] I where supported the
[6:45:07] appointment of dr. Kelsen and
[6:45:09] I'm committed to supporting her
[6:45:11] success as superintendent,
[6:45:13] however I cannot support a three
[6:45:15] year employment contract.
[6:45:17] the search process moved very
[6:45:19] quickly.
[6:45:20] we had limited time for
[6:45:21] community engagement.
[6:45:22] we didn't have the opportunity
[6:45:24] to fully discuss the
[6:45:25] superintendent's vision,
[6:45:28] transition plan or board
[6:45:32] expectation before making the
[6:45:33] three year commitment.
[6:45:34] a two year contract would have
[6:45:36] provided the board with a
[6:45:37] appropriate opportunity to
[6:45:38] assess progress and reevaluate a
[6:45:44] longer term contract.
[6:45:45] my position is based on the
[6:45:46] process and length of the
[6:45:48] contract, not dr. Kelsen.
[6:45:50] under the same circumstances my
[6:45:52] vote would be the same
[6:45:53] regardless who was appointed
[6:45:55] superintendent under these
[6:45:57] circumstances, so I just wanted
[6:46:00] to share that before the vote.
[6:46:02] thank you.
[6:46:04] >> any other comments or
[6:46:05] questions?
[6:46:07] mr. Sturgeon would you please
[6:46:08] take a roll call vote?
[6:46:11] >> baker torres, no.
[6:46:15] estrada, no.
[6:46:18] flores-haro, yes.
[6:46:21] botello, yes.
[6:46:23] sher, yes.
[6:46:24] >> thank you.
[6:46:25] motion passes 3-2.
[6:46:26] congratulations dr. Kelsen.
[6:46:29] (applause)
[6:46:30] we are very happy and excited
[6:46:33] for you and we are going to
[6:46:35] celebrate you and give you all
[6:46:36] the compliments and credit at
[6:46:38] our board meeting at your first
[6:46:40] board meeting in august.
[6:46:44] and you have a couple remarks
[6:46:45] but we'll hopefully save ours
[6:46:47] when we come together as a unit
[6:46:50] for you in august.
[6:46:51] you have the floor dr. Kelsen.
[6:46:54] >> thank you trustees and ouhsd
[6:46:57] community for selecting me to
[6:46:58] serve as superintendent and for
[6:47:00] your trust and confidence in my
[6:47:02] leadership.
[6:47:03] serving students and families as
[6:47:05] we work together to bring more
[6:47:07] prosperous futures brought me
[6:47:11] here in 2024 and will continue
[6:47:13] to be the focus of my work as
[6:47:14] superintendent.
[6:47:15] I respected and value the
[6:47:17] individuals and diverse
[6:47:20] communities that make up the
[6:47:21] district and culture of care
[6:47:22] created by this dedicated
[6:47:25] diligent team.
[6:47:26] this is a momentous evening for
[6:47:28] my family and I me and would be
[6:47:31] remiss if I didn't they think my
[6:47:34] husband casey for encourage and
[6:47:36] support.
[6:47:37] casey, thank you.
[6:47:38] to mentors colleagues friends
[6:47:39] students and families, thank you
[6:47:41] for enhancing my understanding
[6:47:43] of what is absolutely possible
[6:47:46] when people work together for
[6:47:47] the greater good.
[6:47:50] [speaking spanish]
[6:47:51] thank you for this opportunity.
[6:49:15] I will work hard daily and serve
[6:49:19] students and families well
[6:49:20] together with staff.
[6:49:21] >> thank you.
[6:49:22] (applause)
[6:49:28] on behalf of the board
[6:49:30] congratulations, we are so
[6:49:32] excited and looking forward to
[6:49:33] the future.
[6:49:34] anyone would like to comment or
[6:49:37] save it had celebration for dr.
[6:49:38] kelsen at the first meeting in
[6:49:40] august however you like to move
[6:49:42] forward?
[6:49:44] okay.
[6:49:45] we'll make comments.
[6:49:48] we are very excited so thank
[6:49:50] you.
[6:49:51] we are moving on to our
[6:49:55] discussion about our board
[6:49:58] retreat topics.
[6:49:59] this is item 15.
[6:50:01] dr. Mccoy.
[6:50:05] >> yes.
[6:50:07] typically at this meeting it is
[6:50:10] late in the evening, we would do
[6:50:14] a little of discussion and
[6:50:17] polling on important topics for
[6:50:20] the retreat and I know that dr.
[6:50:22] kelsen would be the person to
[6:50:24] lead that discussion with the
[6:50:26] board, so what given the hour
[6:50:28] what we may want to consider is
[6:50:30] that if trustees would send
[6:50:34] ideas to dr. Kelsen and board
[6:50:36] president as a cc that we could
[6:50:40] collect the ideas and dr. Kelsen
[6:50:42] could put out to trustees as a
[6:50:44] list starts to develop.
[6:50:46] not for discussion and when the
[6:50:49] comes to agenda setting for
[6:50:51] those meetings then the board
[6:50:52] could president and vice
[6:50:56] president with input from
[6:50:58] trustees can narrow the agenda.
[6:51:00] I think this would be half hour

[6:54:58] >> thank you.
[6:54:59] trustee botello lopez.
[6:55:08] >> so, dr. Mccoy, where to
[6:55:10] begin?
[6:55:11] you first.
[6:55:12] my story began with dr. Mccoy
[6:55:14] before I knew him actually in
[6:55:16] 1999.
[6:55:17] the vice principal and principal
[6:55:20] at hueneme high school my
[6:55:25] husband graduated.
[6:55:26] that is why it brings us
[6:55:27] together and for me the vikings
[6:55:29] is home for my family and for
[6:55:31] you too.
[6:55:33] I was the a sb director at
[6:55:36] oxnard high school I had my
[6:55:38] students partner with ucla on a
[6:55:41] project on civic engagement.
[6:55:44] asked to present on saturday and
[6:55:46] we needed a bus.
[6:55:48] you know how those things go,
[6:55:50] buses are hot commodities on the
[6:55:52] weekend especially during sports
[6:55:54] season but I e-mailed dr. Mccoy
[6:55:55] and shared our story.
[6:55:57] my why for the program and he
[6:56:00] made sure we got a bus to go to
[6:56:02] ucla and present.
[6:56:03] that dr. Mccoy the man in front
[6:56:06] who does all the madge behind
[6:56:09] the scenes.
[6:56:10] a couple years later he was
[6:56:15] surprised when I interred the
[6:56:17] race-that day after the election
[6:56:20] he was the first person to call
[6:56:21] and congratulate me.
[6:56:25] I recognize then it was
[6:56:28] uncharted territory but spoke
[6:56:34] volume of his character.
[6:56:36] that [inaudible] the last 6
[6:56:41] years carried triumphs to del
[6:56:44] sol high school has absolutely
[6:56:45] one of the most incredible feats
[6:56:47] of our careers at ouhsd.
[6:56:50] and the establishment of solid
[6:56:52] and robust cte pathways ethnic
[6:56:55] studies a course for 9 graders
[6:56:57] and, civic engagement,
[6:57:01] championship for outstanding
[6:57:03] teams, california distinguish
[6:57:07] schools and list goes on.
[6:57:08] it has had heartache and some
[6:57:13] still never disappear.
[6:57:15] at least not for me.
[6:57:17] and dr. Mccoy you might not show
[6:57:21] it but they [inaudible] seen you
[6:57:24] lean as a teach er and trustee.
[6:57:26] I think you can see it is a
[6:57:28] unique experience and one I
[6:57:29] truly value.
[6:57:31] your calm wisdom and ability to
[6:57:34] lead in challenging of times and
[6:57:35] still display so much humility
[6:57:37] and professionalism even when I
[6:57:39] know you and we as a board are
[6:57:41] being tested.
[6:57:44] but we rocked through so many
[6:57:47] situations and gotten through
[6:57:48] it.
[6:57:49] we go positive in the fiscal
[6:57:51] budget we find the light.
[6:57:52] the sun comes up.

[6:57:56] district and I'm excited for
[6:58:00] this chapter in your life so
[6:58:02] wish you nothing but the best
[6:58:04] and your family as you continue

[6:58:17] and leading the district so many
[6:58:18] years coming to us and coming
[6:58:20] back to us again.
[6:58:22] no one holds the institutional
[6:58:25] knowledge you bear for ouhsd and
[6:58:29] can't be replicated and I know
[6:58:30] and see it and you will be very
[6:58:32] greatly missed.
[6:58:34] to mr. Matt la belle, I wish you
[6:58:37] the very best in your new
[6:58:38] position as a [inaudible] I wish

[6:58:46] start your career with ouhsd as
[6:58:47] the principal of camarillo high
[6:58:50] school and strive for excellence
[6:58:53] and got a believe mentality that
[6:58:55] was infectious.
[6:58:57] I was still a teacher when you
[6:58:58] began at cam high and you took
[6:59:01] it from the bottom and raised to
[6:59:03] such high levels and then that
[6:59:04] is where a lot of beautiful
[6:59:05] programming started with our two
[6:59:08] duos dan and john and seeing
[6:59:12] grow the school site and just
[6:59:14] sense of belonging and where
[6:59:16] this school site is now, it is
[6:59:19] thanks to good work you have
[6:59:20] done and laid the foundation and
[6:59:22] I truly wish you the very best.
[6:59:28] I wish we had your time with you
[6:59:30] but seen the good work you done.

[6:59:37] elated to see you take on the
[6:59:39] helm for oxnard union high
[6:59:42] school district as the new
[6:59:45] superintendent.
[6:59:46] it is great pride we selected
[6:59:47] you as the new superintendent
[6:59:48] and excited to see the good
[6:59:51] work.
[6:59:52] when you started we had high
[6:59:54] expectations and you met that
[6:59:55] and innovation you provided in
[6:59:56] ed services is what we needed
[6:59:59] and know you will propel us
[7:00:01] forward so I wish you and the
[7:00:03] rest of our ouhsd staff and
[7:00:08] students and community we are on

[7:00:15] a reflective summer and looking
[7:00:18] ahead and always proud to be a
[7:00:20] trustee of this great district.
[7:00:30] >> good morning.
[7:00:38] I will not look over there.
[7:00:39] I choked up once.
[7:00:45] it was tonight when I wrote it.
[7:00:47] now it is morning.
[7:00:49] this meeting is bitter sweet as
[7:00:52] we recognize dr. Mccoy's final
[7:00:54] board meeting with oxnard union
[7:00:56] high school district.
[7:00:57] for me it is especially
[7:01:00] meaningful when dr. Mccoy first
[7:01:03] interviewed for the district my
[7:01:04] mom was on the hiring panel.
[7:01:07] while I didn't understand the
[7:01:09] significance of the moment at
[7:01:11] the time, I was a child, it is
[7:01:17] remarkable to think years later
[7:01:19] I had to sorry, but not sorry.
[7:01:24] it remarkable to think years
[7:01:27] later I find serving on the
[7:01:28] board as he concludes his tenure
[7:01:30] with the district.
[7:01:31] I had to do humor because if I
[7:01:34] don't laugh I cry.
[7:01:36] I had the opportunity to know
[7:01:39] dr. Mccoy as our superintendent
[7:01:40] but also as community partner.
[7:01:42] through the work at micop I sat
[7:01:45] across the table on issues
[7:01:47] effecting student and families
[7:01:48] in ventura county and what stood
[7:01:52] out is willingness to engage the
[7:01:58] community.
[7:01:59] someone who works with
[7:02:00] indigenous and [inaudible] needs
[7:02:03] of students and families from
[7:02:04] all backgrounds.
[7:02:05] he understands public education
[7:02:07] is strongest when every student
[7:02:09] feels seen, supported and
[7:02:11] connected to the school
[7:02:12] community.
[7:02:13] leading district as large and
[7:02:15] complex as oxnard union is never
[7:02:17] easy.
[7:02:18] it requires navigating
[7:02:19] challenges making difficult
[7:02:21] decisions and balancing many
[7:02:22] competing priorities and through
[7:02:24] it all dr. Mccoy voted years of
[7:02:32] commitment and it deserves
[7:02:33] recognition.
[7:02:34] personally I remember his
[7:02:36] thoughtfulness, accessibility
[7:02:38] and the respect he showed
[7:02:41] engaging with community
[7:02:42] organization and partners and
[7:02:43] those relationships matter.
[7:02:44] that is what we heard in the
[7:02:46] superintendent search is
[7:02:47] relationships and community
[7:02:49] matters.
[7:02:50] they help strengthen the
[7:02:51] connection between our schools
[7:02:52] and the community we serve.
[7:02:54] dr. Mccoy, thank you for your
[7:02:56] years of dedication to oxnard
[7:02:57] union, thank you for the
[7:03:00] countless hours, difficult
[7:03:02] decisions and the commitment to
[7:03:03] the role.
[7:03:04] I wish you and your family
[7:03:07] happiness and fulfillment in the
[7:03:12] years ahead and like to close
[7:03:14] with a quote from ralph emerson,
[7:03:18] to know one life is to breathe
[7:03:20] easier to have lived to
[7:03:21] succeeded.
[7:03:22] thank you dr. Mccoy for your
[7:03:23] service to students and families
[7:03:25] of oxnard union high school
[7:03:27] district.
[7:03:28] I also like to recognize matt la
[7:03:33] belle.
[7:03:34] played a important role
[7:03:35] supporting the district
[7:03:36] employees and strengthening
[7:03:39] human resources.
[7:03:40] ment that work happens behind
[7:03:42] the scenes, but has meaningful
[7:03:45] impact.
[7:03:47] he was pulling double duty
[7:03:49] because we hadn't had a hr
[7:03:52] director so thank you for that.
[7:03:53] want to particularly acknowledge
[7:03:54] your commitment to work
[7:03:56] collaborative with the labor
[7:03:58] partners.
[7:03:59] that is something and heard loud
[7:04:00] and clear from the labor
[7:04:02] partners how that partnership
[7:04:04] has been really key and crucial
[7:04:08] over the last year.
[7:04:09] thank you mr. La belle for your
[7:04:10] service your dedication to
[7:04:14] employees and contributions made
[7:04:19] and wish success and fulfillment
[7:04:21] in your next endeavor and like
[7:04:23] to take a moment to congratulate

[7:04:59] and work together on behalf of
[7:05:01] students.

[7:07:49] thank you for choosing ouhsd.
[7:07:52] to mr. La belle, my gosh, thank
[7:07:56] you for all you have done.
[7:07:59] ours has not always been a easy
[7:08:01] relationship because I'm the
[7:08:03] only person on the dais who's
[7:08:05] children you were the principal
[7:08:06] to my children and I want to say
[7:08:08] thank you for that being a
[7:08:10] parent being responsible for a
[7:08:12] child is takes a village and so,
[7:08:17] there were times when maybe I
[7:08:19] was the loudest parent at the
[7:08:21] table and begging or asking for
[7:08:25] something you were always
[7:08:26] willing to listen, willing to
[7:08:28] help and you have served our
[7:08:30] district so well.
[7:08:32] I want to echo what the trustees
[7:08:37] said especially with the labor
[7:08:39] partners who have the upmost
[7:08:42] respect to you and willing to
[7:08:43] partner because that is where
[7:08:44] the magic happens when everyone
[7:08:47] feels listened to and feeling
[7:08:49] like they have a seat at the
[7:08:50] table.
[7:08:51] that's where we the magic
[7:08:53] happens and just to get there I

[7:09:05] I do want to say very much huge
[7:09:09] thank you to mr. Urias and your
[7:09:11] team with regard to the budget
[7:09:14] and ending the year on a
[7:09:15] positive note.
[7:09:16] a very heavy lift and not
[7:09:20] possible without dr. Mccoy but
[7:09:24] we thank you for your leadership
[7:09:25] and helping us make tough
[7:09:27] choices and come out on the
[7:09:29] positive side.
[7:09:31] no punt intended.
[7:09:33] I want to wish everyone a happy
[7:09:35] summer because I don't know I
[7:09:37] will be able to see it by the
[7:09:39] time I'm done.
[7:09:40] I will not look at you dr.
[7:09:42] mccoy.
[7:09:43] tonight marks the end of a
[7:09:44] extraordinary chapter.
[7:09:46] I'm already crying for oxnard
[7:09:47] union high school district.
[7:09:49] I had the pleasure and privilege
[7:09:52] of working alongside dr. Tom
[7:09:54] mccoy for the past 10 years.
[7:09:57] I can't do it.
[7:09:59] as he served as assistant
[7:10:02] superintendent of ed service,
[7:10:05] interim superintendent and
[7:10:06] superintendent of the oxnard
[7:10:08] union high school district.
[7:10:10] it was my honor to serve as
[7:10:11] board president when this board
[7:10:13] appointed superintendent mccoy
[7:10:16] in 2020.
[7:10:17] it was dr. Mccoy's dream to
[7:10:19] serve a superintendent of ouhsd
[7:10:22] and it was my honor to help make
[7:10:24] that dream reality.
[7:10:26] we are incredibly fortunate he
[7:10:29] has chosen to lead the district.
[7:10:31] looking back I can say without
[7:10:32] hesitation that it was one of
[7:10:34] the most important decisions I
[7:10:37] ever made and I think this board
[7:10:40] ever made.
[7:10:41] I have four pages, sorry
[7:10:44] everyone.
[7:10:45] the truth is, dr. Mccoy
[7:10:50] inherited neither easy
[7:10:51] circumstances nor easy decisions
[7:10:52] because after all it was covid
[7:10:55] and he took on the position
[7:10:58] willingness.
[7:10:59] he lead the district through a
[7:11:01] global pandemic, unprecedented
[7:11:03] challenge, changing
[7:11:05] expectations, especially in the
[7:11:06] political landscape and some of
[7:11:08] the largest construction
[7:11:10] projects in our district
[7:11:12] history.
[7:11:13] yet through it all never lost
[7:11:14] sight what matters most,
[7:11:16] students.
[7:11:17] when future generations look at
[7:11:19] the history of this district
[7:11:21] they will see dr. Mccoy's
[7:11:25] fingerprints and emerged from
[7:11:26] challenges of the pandemic,
[7:11:27] stronger then before, they will
[7:11:29] see graduation rates that reach
[7:11:32] 93 percent the highest in
[7:11:35] history.
[7:11:37] I'm sorry.
[7:11:40] and among the highest in ventura
[7:11:44] county.
[7:11:45] the most diverse student
[7:11:46] populations making the great
[7:11:47] escapes.
[7:11:50] they will see 10s of thousands
[7:11:52] of students and I think more
[7:11:54] then a hundred possibly more
[7:11:55] then 200 thousand students who
[7:11:57] lives were changed because dr.
[7:11:59] mccoy believed that they
[7:12:01] deserved every opportunity to
[7:12:02] succeed and he built teams to
[7:12:05] make that happen.
[7:12:07] this is leadership.
[7:12:09] this is what a district that
[7:12:11] chooses--this is a district that
[7:12:15] chooses courage over
[7:12:18] convenience.
[7:12:19] as dr. Mccoy reminds us, go slow
[7:12:21] to go fast, and that what is
[7:12:23] good for kids is not always
[7:12:25] convenient for adults.
[7:12:27] under his leadership ouhsd
[7:12:28] became the first district in
[7:12:30] ventura county to align
[7:12:32] graduation rates with uc and
[7:12:36] csu a-g and first to require
[7:12:39] ethnic studies for graduation.
[7:12:41] constantly challenged to think
[7:12:42] beyond what was easy and focus
[7:12:46] on what was right for students.
[7:12:49] people looking at ouhsd will see
[7:12:52] a district that understands
[7:12:53] learning cannot happen unless
[7:12:55] students, teachers, staff and
[7:12:58] school communities feel safe,
[7:13:01] healthy and supported.
[7:13:02] dr. Mccoy reminded at ouhsd we
[7:13:06] are a maslow before bloom
[7:13:08] district and these awards are
[7:13:10] more of a philosophy they then a
[7:13:13] philosophy, they became a
[7:13:14] promise.
[7:13:15] a promise students have access
[7:13:17] to wellness supports, promise
[7:13:20] mental health matters, a promise
[7:13:30] before students can learn they
[7:13:32] must feel safe, healthy
[7:13:35] connected and valued and because
[7:13:36] of his leadership every high
[7:13:39] school has a health center,
[7:13:41] mental health support expanded,
[7:13:43] community school said reality,
[7:13:45] farm to school program became a
[7:13:46] model throughout the state, and
[7:13:48] his commitment to the whole
[7:13:50] child transformed our district
[7:13:52] and changed countless lives.
[7:13:54] but they also see physical
[7:13:56] reminders of his leadership
[7:13:58] across the community.
[7:13:59] dr. Mccoy successfully guided
[7:14:00] the completion of more then a
[7:14:02] half billion dollars in bond
[7:14:03] measure projects and including
[7:14:06] project labor agreement that
[7:14:09] insure trade and construction
[7:14:11] jobs stayed in the community.
[7:14:13] this work brought improvement to
[7:14:15] every campus included the
[7:14:17] opening of del sol high school.
[7:14:19] a state of the art facility that
[7:14:21] serve generations of students
[7:14:24] continuing to expand
[7:14:25] opportunities for both students
[7:14:27] and employees for years to come.
[7:14:30] but numbers buildings and
[7:14:31] programs only tell part of the
[7:14:33] story.
[7:14:34] what I will remember most is the
[7:14:37] trust he built.
[7:14:38] trust with the board, trust with
[7:14:41] labor partners, trust with
[7:14:43] staff, trust with families and
[7:14:45] most importantly, trust with
[7:14:47] students.
[7:14:55] trust built through consistency,
[7:14:57] trust strengthened by integrity,
[7:15:00] and trust earned by showing up
[7:15:02] every day year after year even
[7:15:05] when decisions were difficult.
[7:15:08] there is a saying here that all
[7:15:10] roads-there is a saying all
[7:15:12] roads lead to rome, but in ouhsd
[7:15:15] all roads lead to dr. Mccoy.
[7:15:18] whether it was a student concern
[7:15:20] labor issue construction
[7:15:21] project, community partnership,
[7:15:24] curriculum question or crisis
[7:15:27] there was one constant, dr.
[7:15:29] mccoy showed up.
[7:15:30] he listened cared and found a
[7:15:33] way forward.
[7:15:34] leadership isn't about a tite 8,
[7:15:35] leadership is about earning the
[7:15:37] confidence of others and
[7:15:39] inspiring people to work toward
[7:15:41] a common vision.
[7:15:43] dr. Mccoy has done that well
[7:15:46] through challenges crisis
[7:15:47] celebrations and change he lead
[7:15:50] with integrity, steadi ness,
[7:15:52] humility and unwavering
[7:15:54] commitment but what makes
[7:15:56] tonight especially meaningful
[7:15:58] for me is it feels like a full
[7:16:01] circle moment.
[7:16:02] it was my honor to serve as
[7:16:03] board president when this board
[7:16:05] appointed you as superintendent
[7:16:06] in 2020 and looking back I do
[7:16:09] believe that was one of the best
[7:16:11] decisions we ever made.
[7:16:13] now years later it is my honor
[7:16:15] once again to serve as board
[7:16:16] president as we recognize your
[7:16:18] departure and celebrate all you
[7:16:22] accomplished here at ouhsd.
[7:16:24] between those two moments, we
[7:16:25] have lived through the most
[7:16:27] challenging and consequential
[7:16:30] years in district history.
[7:16:31] we navigated a global pandemic,
[7:16:34] fought through uncertainty and
[7:16:35] difficult decisions, celebrated
[7:16:38] victories and carried the weight
[7:16:40] of heartbreaking moments
[7:16:41] together.
[7:16:42] tom I can say that there is not
[7:16:44] another man on this planet that
[7:16:46] I shed more tears next to.
[7:16:50] for real.
[7:16:52] some of the tears were from
[7:16:54] exhaustion, from frustration and
[7:16:56] some from disappointment but
[7:16:58] most of the tears were tears of
[7:17:01] joy and pride as we watched our
[7:17:03] students succeed and our
[7:17:06] district accomplish things
[7:17:07] people said could not be done.
[7:17:11] thank you.
[7:17:12] thank you.
[7:17:15] all most done.
[7:17:16] everyone of the moments was
[7:17:18] grounded in shared belief our
[7:17:19] student deserve the very best.
[7:17:23] together we fought to deliver on
[7:17:26] the promises it the community
[7:17:28] the accomplishment I'm the most
[7:17:30] proud of is successfully
[7:17:33] delivering the bond program and
[7:17:34] construction of del sol high
[7:17:35] school.
[7:17:36] once existed only as a vision of
[7:17:38] equity facilities became the
[7:17:41] reality of equitable facilities
[7:17:44] under your leadership.
[7:17:46] this is not a small feat.
[7:17:48] those countless challenges you
[7:17:51] never lost sight of goal because
[7:17:54] commitment and determination and
[7:17:56] our work together at del sol
[7:17:58] high school open on time and
[7:18:00] stand today as a lasting symbol
[7:18:02] of what is possible when vision
[7:18:03] is matched by leadership,
[7:18:05] teamwork and action.
[7:18:07] as you began your next chapter
[7:18:09] as superintendent of burbank
[7:18:10] unified school we wish nothing
[7:18:14] but success.
[7:18:15] gaining a leader, thoughtful
[7:18:19] educator and superintendent who
[7:18:20] never loses sight why the work
[7:18:22] matters.
[7:18:23] while we are sad to see you
[7:18:24] leave ouhsd, we are grateful for
[7:18:27] all you have given this district
[7:18:29] and proud others now have the
[7:18:31] opportunity to benefit from your
[7:18:32] leadership.
[7:18:34] we know you will make the same
[7:18:35] lasting impact in burbank then
[7:18:39] here in oxnard because public
[7:18:42] education is stronger because of
[7:18:44] your service and oxnard union is
[7:18:46] stronger because of your
[7:18:47] leadership and countless student
[7:18:49] have a brighter future because
[7:18:52] tom mccoy chose to dedicate his
[7:18:54] career serving them.
[7:18:55] congratulations and best of luck
[7:18:57] in everything you do.
[7:18:59] thank you dr. Mccoy.
[7:19:01] thank you.
[7:19:02] thank you.
[7:19:04] (applause)
[7:19:07] one last thing.
[7:19:08] I didn't write it down.
[7:19:10] this is by dissertation.
[7:19:12] it is title teachers at the
[7:19:15] table impact of teachers on
[7:19:17] school boards and I do
[7:19:19] acknowledge dr. Mccoy and I
[7:19:21] acknowledge his beautiful
[7:19:23] wonderful brilliant wife dr.
[7:19:26] tiffany morris who was the
[7:19:28] editor for my dissertation so I
[7:19:31] want to thank you for helping me
[7:19:32] be the best version of myself
[7:19:34] for being the sound of reason
[7:19:36] when I was about to jump off a
[7:19:41] cliff.
[7:19:42] he would no, you are going to
[7:19:44] finish.
[7:19:45] I haven't given to him and give
[7:19:47] it now and say thank you
[7:19:49] allowing teacher leadership to
[7:19:51] shine here.
[7:19:52] we are all examples what that
[7:19:53] means and you have been a
[7:19:55] incredible leader and teacher to
[7:19:57] me and I just want to say thank
[7:19:58] you for that as well.
[7:20:01] >> thank you.
[7:20:04] >> okay.
[7:20:05] everyone with that being said we
[7:20:09] will move to items for future
[7:20:10] consideration.
[7:20:11] we can go in the same order.
[7:20:13] trustee estrada if you have
[7:20:15] any-happy to take your items for
[7:20:18] consideration.
[7:20:20] >> no thank you.
[7:20:22] >> thank you.
[7:20:24] trustee baker torres.
[7:20:26] >> we talked about this one
[7:20:27] before, but I like to request
[7:20:30] that we add union time as a
[7:20:33] reoccurring item on the agenda
[7:20:34] and place it near the
[7:20:35] superintendent's report and
[7:20:37] student trustee report.
[7:20:39] this keeps all the standing
[7:20:41] reports grouped consistently.
[7:20:44] the next, I like to again
[7:20:47] request that the september
[7:20:48] meeting date change place on the
[7:20:50] october agenda.
[7:20:52] these are board meetings for
[7:20:53] trustees.
[7:20:54] I have now made three separate
[7:20:57] attempts to have this matter
[7:20:59] considered.
[7:21:00] I first notified president sher
[7:21:02] and superintendent mccoy of this
[7:21:04] scheduling conflict by e-mail in
[7:21:06] april.
[7:21:07] I then raised it publicly at the
[7:21:09] april board meeting and most
[7:21:11] recently I requested it be
[7:21:14] placed on tonight's agenda
[7:21:16] during last week's agenda
[7:21:17] setting meeting.
[7:21:19] despite providing several month
[7:21:21] notice, and making three
[7:21:23] separate requests, we still
[7:21:25] haven't been given the
[7:21:27] opportunity to discuss this
[7:21:28] matter to change the date.
[7:21:30] I have been advised we are
[7:21:32] waiting for a legal opinion.
[7:21:35] quite frankly, I find it
[7:21:36] concerning that nearly 3 months
[7:21:38] later we still don't have a
[7:21:40] answer to a straight forward
[7:21:41] governance question regarding
[7:21:43] the board's own meeting
[7:21:46] calendar.
[7:21:47] it is my understanding that the
[7:21:48] brown act allows the board to
[7:21:51] consider changing a future
[7:21:52] meeting date as a properly
[7:21:55] noticed public meeting.
[7:21:57] if that is incorrect, I would
[7:21:59] appreciate receiving the legal
[7:22:01] guidance.
[7:22:02] if it is correct, I question why
[7:22:04] this matter has taken months to
[7:22:06] resolve and why district
[7:22:08] resources continue to be spent
[7:22:10] pursuing a answer.
[7:22:12] because we don't meet in july,
[7:22:14] the august meeting is my last
[7:22:17] opportunity to address this
[7:22:18] issue before the september
[7:22:19] meeting.
[7:22:20] so, I respectfully request that
[7:22:23] this item be placed on the
[7:22:24] august agenda so we can discuss
[7:22:26] it and make a determination.
[7:22:37] >> I want to add if we can put
[7:22:38] the workforce housing staff
[7:22:40] update november or december just
[7:22:44] on the calendar.
[7:22:45] that's it.
[7:22:46] >> thank you.
[7:22:48] >> I would second trustee baker
[7:22:51] torres request for consideration
[7:22:55] of union time on upcoming
[7:22:57] meeting agendas and like request
[7:23:02] for update from peace and
[7:23:03] respect committee.
[7:23:05] >> trustee estrada, I didn't
[7:23:07] mean to skip over you.
[7:23:10] did I ask you?
[7:23:11] I don't have anything for items
[7:23:13] for future consideration.
[7:23:15] so, with that, is there any
[7:23:17] final comment?
[7:23:20] >> I want to say thank you to
[7:23:21] everybody for all the wonderful
[7:23:22] comment and the opportunities to
[7:23:23] be part of ouhsd.
[7:23:26] >> that's it?
[7:23:30] >> that's it.
[7:23:32] thank you everybody.
[7:23:34] >> that's it.
[7:23:35] it is 12:25 and again, on behalf
[7:23:38] of the board congratulations dr.
[7:23:40] kelsen, we wish you all the
[7:23:42] best.
[7:23:43] mr. La belle and dr. Mccoy,
[7:23:45] congratulations on your new
[7:23:47] adventures and on behalf of the
[7:23:49] board wish you all the best.
[7:23:50] with that, we are adjourned
[7:23:55] everyone.
[7:23:56] happy summer.
[7:23:57] [meeting adjourned]
