1
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:24,690
All right, good evening and welcome to our regularly scheduled board meeting. This Tuesday evening, November 9, 2021. And I'm going to go ahead and call this meeting to order. Mr. Terrell, could you please do the roll call? Here.

2
00:00:27,580 --> 00:00:43,760
Here. Okay. And Dr. Christie, I believe we'll be joining us closer to six. And now any public comments to close session. It does not appear we have any yellow cards. So I will go ahead and adjourn to close session and we will reconvene to the open

3
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,720
session at approximately 6.30, so I'll see you then.

4
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:47,260
Thank you.

5
00:01:48,730 --> 00:01:48,970
Okay,

6
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,600
so welcome back to the open session portion

7
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,940
of our regularly scheduled board meeting this Tuesday evening,

8
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,340
November 9, 2021, in report from close session,

9
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:08,810
the board voted to approve a settlement agreement

10
00:02:08,810 --> 00:02:14,170
for student ID number 3279225497.

11
00:02:14,170 --> 00:02:15,730
five, four, nine, seven.

12
00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:18,150
And the roll call vote was as follows.

13
00:02:18,690 --> 00:02:20,650
Three, zero in favor.

14
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:23,190
And Dr. Kiki was absent.

15
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:25,950
Also in close session,

16
00:02:26,170 --> 00:02:28,430
the board voted to approve a settlement agreement

17
00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:32,630
for student ID number two, one, two, two, eight, seven, nine,

18
00:02:32,890 --> 00:02:33,770
eight, three, six.

19
00:02:33,970 --> 00:02:35,530
And the roll call vote was as follows.

20
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:36,690
Three, zero.

21
00:02:37,130 --> 00:02:39,190
Again, a favor in Dr. Kiki absent.

22
00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:41,130
Two additional items.

23
00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:48,390
The board considered the appeal of a classified employee and voted for zero to deny the appeal

24
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:51,670
and upholds the recommendation from district administration.

25
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:58,870
Also, the board voted unanimously for zero to approve the settlement of charges for

26
00:02:58,870 --> 00:03:06,510
this statement of charges, I'm sorry, but I said to approve the statement of charges for

27
00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:13,290
this middle against a classified employee. And now if you could all rise and join me

28
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:35,380
in

29
00:03:38,810 --> 00:03:41,850
the

30
00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:43,670
student board member report.

31
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:44,570
Now, let's go.

32
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:47,050
Thank you so much.

33
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:50,990
I'd like to begin with my report

34
00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:53,670
to reflect on where the language and

35
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:55,690
knowledge is not good for you to try to

36
00:03:55,690 --> 00:03:57,010
hungry, so I'm going to talk with

37
00:03:57,010 --> 00:03:57,770
some of the people.

38
00:03:58,790 --> 00:04:00,070
And I'm going to talk to some of the

39
00:04:00,070 --> 00:04:01,530
other people in the state of America

40
00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:03,150
and I'm going to talk to some of the

41
00:04:03,150 --> 00:04:07,230
other people in the state of America.

42
00:04:07,230 --> 00:04:10,210
I'm going to talk to everyone

43
00:04:10,210 --> 00:04:11,550
I'm trying to also do other initiatives.

44
00:04:12,150 --> 00:04:14,690
Community and community is only a three-year-old

45
00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:16,070
and a three-year-old family partner.

46
00:04:16,070 --> 00:04:18,650
I'm in Japan there, and I'm here to prepare to start.

47
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:23,350
I'd like to reflect on the district mission

48
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:25,830
to provide a four-minute experience

49
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:29,550
as I develop the physical pathways of learning.

50
00:04:30,130 --> 00:04:31,810
And I want to talk about this sport.

51
00:04:31,950 --> 00:04:32,810
It's very young, a little bit.

52
00:04:33,630 --> 00:04:34,890
A challenge is for me.

53
00:04:36,130 --> 00:04:38,430
And I love to make part of, you know,

54
00:04:38,430 --> 00:04:43,270
So many students, together, education was a big success.

55
00:04:43,970 --> 00:04:48,910
A lot of this time, maybe not, talked about, like, what they need to do.

56
00:04:49,650 --> 00:04:54,710
Personally, I'm talking about countries, which not only have to be exercise, but it's

57
00:04:54,710 --> 00:05:00,550
really been a family to me, and it's me and me, and I, you know, my fourth year on the

58
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:04,050
and started trying to upload it.

59
00:05:04,210 --> 00:05:06,990
And if anybody can see, I just really thought,

60
00:05:07,570 --> 00:05:09,210
really aimed for me over the pandemic,

61
00:05:10,350 --> 00:05:12,650
and that it made the opportunity for,

62
00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:17,910
just to find my friends and find my home in the campus.

63
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:20,750
So I'm sure that it's been a great experience

64
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:22,150
for many of the students in the past,

65
00:05:22,490 --> 00:05:23,330
because I've been on the campus.

66
00:05:24,470 --> 00:05:26,570
But yes, thank you for this.

67
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,220
Great, thank you.

68
00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:37,440
And now for 3.0 ordering and approval of the agenda, will you like to reorder the agenda?

69
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:47,020
No. Okay. So now we have presentation and I'm pleased to say 4.01 teacher of the year and district teachers of the year.

70
00:05:47,740 --> 00:05:48,240
That's the end.

71
00:05:55,700 --> 00:06:03,860
So what a better month and November to reflect on how thankful we are to have the wonderful teachers that we do.

72
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,920
And as we start off to this presentation, I'd like to share a brief quote from somebody

73
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:17,440
who I find incredibly inspiring, Temple Grandin, who is a professor, a scientist, also

74
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,980
prominent speaker and an author, which is that I cannot emphasize enough the importance

75
00:06:23,370 --> 00:06:24,340
of a good teacher.

76
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:31,160
Can spice through, we're incredibly blessed and grateful for the wonderful teachers we have

77
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:31,400
here.

78
00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:36,340
And so, one by one, I'm going to ask you to come forward with your principal.

79
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,560
I'm going to read a little something about each of you.

80
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,400
If you'd like to make some comments, you can.

81
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,360
You'd rather not. That's okay as well.

82
00:06:44,060 --> 00:06:47,420
And then we're going to have a photo together with the board.

83
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:53,660
So I'm going to have to stand in front of your friends and admirers for a minute, until we get to the photo.

84
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,760
So our lucky first contestant to come up and stand up here the longest.

85
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Sharon Reid, so Sharon, and Kristen, can you clear?

86
00:07:03,820 --> 00:07:04,600
Come on up.

87
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,040
Sharon Reid has been teaching since 1991.

88
00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:13,840
During her time at a Royal VISTA, she has taught every grade level.

89
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,560
She's full of dedication, passion, and loves the craft of teaching.

90
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,120
She has a knack for getting students excited about learning by incorporating many different hands-on activities.

91
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,340
Sheeran creates a sense of community in her classroom as well as provide the supportive

92
00:07:31,340 --> 00:07:33,400
collaborative environment for her students.

93
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,720
She loves learning, new teaching strategies, and incorporating new technology into lessons

94
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,120
to engage students.

95
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,520
She's also the first to offer help, advice, or share something new she learned with other

96
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:46,980
colleagues.

97
00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:52,860
The student's teachers and staff at AV are very lucky to have such a dedicated educator and

98
00:07:52,860 --> 00:07:53,840
user words of your principal.

99
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Congratulations,

100
00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:07,320
and we have a teacher who's unable to join us tonight. She's retired and

101
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,960
not even Carlson, but what a wonderful educator.

102
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,540
Next, if Ms. Cheedle and Kristen Kato would

103
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:19,180
come forward,

104
00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:28,100
Miss Kato has been teaching for 22 years and has taught second grade at

105
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:33,800
Marango for the last 13 years. Kristen is an extremely kind and compassionate teacher who brings

106
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,700
out the very best in her students. She makes it a priority to form strong relationships

107
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:44,080
with her students and their families each year. Her classroom lessons are creative and

108
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:50,480
hands-on with a focus on celebrating her student's strengths and abilities. Kristen is a team

109
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,160
player and a problem solver who is always there to share ideas and support her colleagues.

110
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,160
We're so fortunate to have Kristen on the Marango team and to recognize her as the Marango

111
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,440
teacher of the year and

112
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,480
if Miss Bucic and Julie Rieu would come join us in

113
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:15,860
France.

114
00:09:21,540 --> 00:09:25,220
Julie Rieu is a sixth grade English and ELD teacher at the middle

115
00:09:25,220 --> 00:09:29,740
school. She is highly regarded by her college parents and students. Julie is

116
00:09:29,740 --> 00:09:34,840
always on the lookout for new ways of making content relevant and engaging for

117
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,080
her students. She seeks professional development and keeps current with trends

118
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,160
and education as a means to improve learning for her students.

119
00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:45,560
Julie is invested in SPMS.

120
00:09:46,180 --> 00:09:50,180
She has high expectations for herself and for her students.

121
00:09:50,420 --> 00:09:55,320
She tells her students that education opens doors, creates opportunities,

122
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,020
informs a solid foundation for the rest of their lives.

123
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:00,200
Congratulations.

124
00:10:06,970 --> 00:10:09,130
And if Dean McCoy would come join us up front.

125
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:19,960
Dean McCoy is oniosa teacher of the year representing the secondary school.

126
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,820
Dean is a sixth grade math teacher and a math department chair at South Pasadena Middle

127
00:10:24,820 --> 00:10:25,500
School.

128
00:10:25,780 --> 00:10:30,740
He consistently goes above and beyond, helping students understand math.

129
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,560
Dean shows students what it looks like to love learning and when there are setbacks,

130
00:10:36,740 --> 00:10:38,600
he reminds students that they matter.

131
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:45,980
He creates a fun learning environment that's nurturing, engaging, and fun.

132
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:48,000
That's important in learning, right, the fire.

133
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,100
And

134
00:10:54,540 --> 00:10:57,760
as Mr. Eldred and KDR would come forward,

135
00:11:02,010 --> 00:11:05,370
KDR's tireless dedication to exposing her students

136
00:11:05,370 --> 00:11:10,230
to meaningful literature in a way that makes it accessible, as well as something they

137
00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:14,790
willingly engage with and learned from as a credit to the SPHS English Department and

138
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:15,290
her school.

139
00:11:15,930 --> 00:11:20,910
Likewise, her efforts to help students improve their writing to better prepare them for college

140
00:11:20,910 --> 00:11:23,130
as well as life is nothing short of humbling.

141
00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:28,010
As she seeks to elicit from her students, the very best thoughts that they possess and

142
00:11:28,010 --> 00:11:33,630
translate that onto paper, a feat that can be time-consuming and tedious, yet she never

143
00:11:33,630 --> 00:11:35,130
waivers in the face of it.

144
00:11:35,650 --> 00:11:40,850
Her belief in the English language and the magic that words can possess for young people

145
00:11:40,850 --> 00:11:46,790
is a lesson for us all, and her classroom remains, as always, a safe place where students can

146
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:51,610
exchange ideas freely and without judgment and find their personal best.

147
00:11:51,610 --> 00:11:56,290
We're honored which he has been chosen teacher of the year to call her our colleague.

148
00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:11,770
And last but certainly not least, Christina Torres, Dr. Nara, who is joining us at Fred.

149
00:12:15,770 --> 00:12:18,150
Three qualities describe Christina as a teacher.

150
00:12:18,630 --> 00:12:24,010
Her understanding of the whole child concern for everyone to be heard and commitment to

151
00:12:24,010 --> 00:12:25,110
continuous learning.

152
00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:29,250
These qualities are illuminated with the disposition of an enlightened teacher.

153
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:31,830
She's reflective, humble, and vulnerable.

154
00:12:32,610 --> 00:12:34,870
Her students are consistently given opportunities

155
00:12:34,870 --> 00:12:37,330
to be meaningful members of a larger group.

156
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:40,930
Students build their communication and cooperation skills.

157
00:12:41,610 --> 00:12:43,310
And as they say, everything they learn,

158
00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:46,490
they will have learned in Christina's kindergarten class.

159
00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:50,510
Christina has been able to support positive change

160
00:12:50,510 --> 00:12:53,110
through her example as well, express empathy

161
00:12:53,570 --> 00:12:55,930
for those who may be hesitant in implementation.

162
00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:58,490
She's the epitome of an active learner

163
00:12:58,490 --> 00:13:04,010
And she not only listens to what people have to say, but into it's what they don't say.

164
00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:09,050
She acknowledges and supports her peers as colleagues and as friends.

165
00:13:09,850 --> 00:13:10,350
Congratulations.

166
00:13:10,830 --> 00:13:13,890
And Christina is also our district teacher of the year.

167
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,320
Get the group to kind of form together.

168
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,900
And if the board would like to come join us, we will take a group picture.

169
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,100
And if anybody, any other proud people want to come take a picture, don't be shy.

170
00:13:37,340 --> 00:13:37,820
It's okay.

171
00:13:37,820 --> 00:13:47,890
Because I see a lot of people who are here to celebrate with us, so let me see if

172
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:39,860
you

173
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:41,600
Thank you.

174
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:41,900
You

175
00:14:55,950 --> 00:14:57,590
wonderful teacher, congratulations!

176
00:15:00,660 --> 00:15:07,900
Oh, there's one more. That's okay. I'll share my pictures and in case someone didn't get one.

177
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:46,710
Yeah, that I don't feel so bad. When they walk out, the middle of my Christmas. Congratulations again.

178
00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:50,190
Okay.

179
00:15:53,060 --> 00:15:53,700
Good night.

180
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,120
Congratulations.

181
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:12,420
So moving on to 4.02, the 2021 C-Bed Census Data Enrollment, back to you on.

182
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:20,380
This won't be quite as exciting or an age increase in the prior presentation, but it was nice

183
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:28,640
to see that, you know, we missed that last year. And it is very important that we do take the

184
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,340
moments to recognize our employees and stuff too.

185
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,360
So it felt good, so nice to have you.

186
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,160
So now into really interesting things, enrollment.

187
00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:44,940
Each year, school districts in California

188
00:16:45,460 --> 00:16:48,760
have what's called the Census Day or a Seabed's Day, in which

189
00:16:49,340 --> 00:16:52,880
we capture our enrollment at all our school sites,

190
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,460
and then that goes into a report along with our demographic

191
00:16:56,460 --> 00:17:02,740
to the state and typically provide the board an update on where we are.

192
00:17:04,860 --> 00:17:09,740
It's important to make a distinction between enrollment versus what you may hear about

193
00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:12,220
as ADA, which is average daily attendance.

194
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:20,420
ADA is comprised of what our total enrollment is as a factor of the number of students

195
00:17:20,420 --> 00:17:22,200
that attend school each day.

196
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,500
And that then generates the revenue in which we receive.

197
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,420
So enrollment is a factor of our revenue,

198
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,420
but it isn't the only factor within that.

199
00:17:36,780 --> 00:17:39,200
So what I have before you is actually

200
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,220
a history of enrollment from a census day

201
00:17:43,220 --> 00:17:45,320
dating back to the year 2000.

202
00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:49,000
If you've moved to the second page, actually, we'll start there.

203
00:17:50,780 --> 00:17:53,360
And I'm just going to briefly go over the slides.

204
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:59,840
And I will add that enrollment is important, obviously,

205
00:17:59,980 --> 00:18:06,920
for funding purposes, but it also has a factor

206
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,500
into what programs we can offer students from one year

207
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:15,180
to the next if we say, for example, a secondary level.

208
00:18:15,180 --> 00:18:21,300
If enrollment is strong and it's increasing, it means that we're able to offer more programs

209
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:27,600
and support the students in that way, as enrollment declines in school districts, it means

210
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,780
that you have fewer sections or fewer opportunities for students.

211
00:18:32,020 --> 00:18:35,060
So you have to make constant adjustments from one year to the next.

212
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:44,480
And so when school districts are in a declining enrollment pattern, one, it strains the budget

213
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:51,480
and then two, it can also strain the programs and services once you offer those students as a result of having less students

214
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:59,440
perhaps sign up for a particular elective from one year to the next in order to keep those classes going.

215
00:19:02,060 --> 00:19:11,920
So, District White, we have what's important and note, as you can see that dating all the way back to 2000,

216
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,260
and the enrollment has steadily increased.

217
00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:18,440
There have been some years where it's maybe one year,

218
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,300
it's dropped a little bit from the prior year,

219
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,860
but then typically that second year after that,

220
00:19:23,140 --> 00:19:24,160
it'll go back up.

221
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,960
This is, this past year, this year is the first year

222
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,860
in which we've actually declined year over year since 2019.

223
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,560
We're also projected to decline next year

224
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,400
by about another 50 students.

225
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:46,600
And that is with the addition of a new grade level transitional kindergarten that we're required to add.

226
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:51,680
So we are expected to experience another decline next year.

227
00:19:52,060 --> 00:19:53,520
Again, things can change.

228
00:19:54,820 --> 00:20:03,520
And as you've probably heard me say in the past, the decline is most likely due to several factors,

229
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:11,260
which is, you know, property values, COVID, and we are not having as many students move

230
00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:14,680
into the district as well as historically low birth rates.

231
00:20:15,580 --> 00:20:23,820
So we are seeing that as a result of our enrollment.

232
00:20:24,020 --> 00:20:29,080
So going on to the next slide, which is the Royal VISTA, you can see it has, you know, was

233
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,920
up at 7.27 and 2019 and now it's down at 6.83.

234
00:20:36,780 --> 00:20:39,900
We've lost about 40 students. Our loss

235
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:45,720
of enrollment has mostly been experienced at the elementary levels with some at the

236
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,440
middle school and the high school has been holding study.

237
00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:51,000
Do we know is that Melissa Kinder?

238
00:20:52,020 --> 00:20:53,760
Yes, well, it's the youngest, right?

239
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:00,760
It is, there's less kindergartners coming in than there are graduating seniors. So there's

240
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:10,160
and that loss there, but each, our elementary grade levels are smaller than historically.

241
00:21:10,460 --> 00:21:16,540
So you could call it a bubble that's sort of going up and then what will happen 10 years

242
00:21:16,540 --> 00:21:20,060
from now or eight years from now, high school will begin to drop.

243
00:21:23,330 --> 00:21:30,390
So Morango in 2019, it was at 7.73, it's down to 7.62, so again, this, you know,

244
00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:37,230
Morango went down to 749 and then it went up to 762 and Monterey Hills has experienced

245
00:21:37,230 --> 00:21:43,990
the greatest loss, which is it was at its peak at 696 and now it's down to 584.

246
00:21:45,490 --> 00:21:48,630
So it's a loss of over 100 students.

247
00:21:49,010 --> 00:21:54,650
And the reason for that is because Monterey Hills has historically been a site where what we

248
00:21:54,650 --> 00:21:55,790
call an overflow site.

249
00:21:55,790 --> 00:22:08,010
So if Marango or AB grade levels are full, then the students who enroll later in the summer during the school year are assigned to Monterey Hills.

250
00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:17,250
And then the middle school, it has declined over the last couple of years as well.

251
00:22:18,430 --> 00:22:22,290
That is peak 1213, which was the most it's ever had.

252
00:22:23,610 --> 00:22:26,250
And then now it's down to 1147.

253
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:59,170
Yeah, when you look at the train going back 100 and that was really 2019 was almost all the schools sort of a peak years and then moving over to the high school, as I said, it has been increasing over the last couple of years as 2019, it was 14, 27 and now it's up at 14, 50 projected go a little higher next year.

254
00:22:59,170 --> 00:23:00,030
So

255
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:15,040
at this time of year, what we do is we take our enrollment projections and we begin our staffing assignments.

256
00:23:16,990 --> 00:23:18,650
We're planning for that for next year.

257
00:23:18,750 --> 00:23:22,330
We take a look at what the classrooms are like this year.

258
00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:26,410
The schools are given their allocation for staffing.

259
00:23:26,670 --> 00:23:35,410
And then they'll begin to plan in January to solicit the student interested in classes and courses.

260
00:23:35,410 --> 00:23:39,810
and that takes the remainder of the year.

261
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,280
Any questions?

262
00:23:46,450 --> 00:23:52,510
We mentioned the addition of TK. Is there a way, I mean obviously, birth rates and things

263
00:23:52,510 --> 00:23:58,410
long as I'm but is there a way to kind of get engaged? That projected number of expected

264
00:23:58,410 --> 00:24:02,210
TK sort of interests and or availability?

265
00:24:02,770 --> 00:24:06,890
Yeah, so we do plan on either in January, if ever we're providing the board with the

266
00:24:06,890 --> 00:24:11,170
but update. The state is in the county have been

267
00:24:13,430 --> 00:24:21,150
curiously quiet on the implementation guidelines for TK.

268
00:24:22,030 --> 00:24:24,830
The first seminar was actually just held today.

269
00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:29,470
I think from school services on it that provides all the information on

270
00:24:29,470 --> 00:24:32,710
credentialing and sort of the nuts and bolts of it.

271
00:24:33,410 --> 00:24:40,550
As far as projection, we can only look at what the past has brought us, and factor in

272
00:24:40,550 --> 00:24:45,810
that with based on the number of months that we have to add in each year, and then we'll

273
00:24:45,810 --> 00:24:53,710
factor in some other matters, but so it's difficult, and then as I said, birth rates are very

274
00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:59,150
low, so it'll probably be less than what we've received in prior years.

275
00:25:02,370 --> 00:25:06,110
So, we don't obviously know the timing of this, but we do know that there's quite a bit

276
00:25:06,110 --> 00:25:11,510
of development that will occur over the next few years, get development here, get development

277
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,690
here, you've got development there, you've got development there, you've got development

278
00:25:13,690 --> 00:25:14,130
here.

279
00:25:15,050 --> 00:25:20,710
So, I mean, you know, some of those have been in hold for a couple years, a few years, but

280
00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:25,070
at some point in time, you'll have a whole new group of families that are moving into

281
00:25:25,070 --> 00:25:31,490
town, quite possibly, and where, what's difficult to predict is what grade levels they all

282
00:25:31,490 --> 00:25:33,630
because they're not going to all show up as kindergartners, right?

283
00:25:33,810 --> 00:25:38,970
So typically, you know, as our enrollment at the elementary declines, depending on if

284
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:44,290
it swings back up in future years, you know, that's to be determined, but we would be

285
00:25:44,290 --> 00:25:51,650
able to absorb an increase in enrollment there, but the secondary level is a little easier

286
00:25:51,650 --> 00:26:00,730
to take on additional students because if you're able to add sections and their own as many

287
00:26:00,730 --> 00:26:05,830
facility constraints as there are at the elementary level because of the limited number

288
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:06,650
of teaching stations.

289
00:26:06,950 --> 00:26:10,550
You've got a little bit more flexibility with the way that the schedules work at the

290
00:26:10,550 --> 00:26:11,310
secondary level.

291
00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:19,590
But again, it's difficult to predict what grade levels they'll move in and how many.

292
00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:28,190
Well, I'm just going to say this was going to be my update as a board report, but just

293
00:26:28,190 --> 00:26:34,450
to say we met with, you know, as part of our monthly meeting with members of the city council

294
00:26:34,450 --> 00:26:40,210
or ad hoc committee. You know, we have started asking them how many units will be

295
00:26:40,210 --> 00:26:45,090
developed at each of these locations, and next time they're going to come back to us with

296
00:26:45,090 --> 00:26:50,810
some estimate dates for when they'll date the constructional story potentially, and so

297
00:26:50,810 --> 00:26:54,450
we'll have a little bit more information, but it's yours down in the room.

298
00:26:56,150 --> 00:27:00,590
And I may also have additional flexibility when we allow in for permitted students, especially

299
00:27:00,590 --> 00:27:04,550
for students with staff so we can all work with our staff.

300
00:27:04,550 --> 00:27:04,930
Correct.

301
00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:09,090
We have a percentage of students who do attend our schools from outside the district

302
00:27:09,090 --> 00:27:11,070
or who are employees' children.

303
00:27:12,510 --> 00:27:12,890
Okay.

304
00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:16,090
Well, we hope we never get to that point, you know?

305
00:27:16,730 --> 00:27:17,850
We certainly don't want to be there.

306
00:27:18,450 --> 00:27:18,930
Okay.

307
00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:21,970
Thank you for not having any other questions or comments.

308
00:27:23,150 --> 00:27:23,570
All right.

309
00:27:23,570 --> 00:27:33,370
Thank you. 4.03, 2021-2022 Educator Effectiveness Block Grant Plan, Mr. Vade.

310
00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:43,450
Good evening. You have the presentation in front of you and viewers at home can also see it.

311
00:27:44,370 --> 00:27:50,070
This is a presentation on the Educator Effectiveness Block Grant, another block grant for this school year.

312
00:27:51,550 --> 00:27:52,610
Next slide.

313
00:27:53,770 --> 00:27:58,470
This block grant is a program providing funds to school districts to provide professional

314
00:27:58,470 --> 00:28:03,050
learning and to promote educator equity, quality, and effectiveness.

315
00:28:03,790 --> 00:28:11,450
As a condition of receiving these funds, the plan has represented to the board at a meeting

316
00:28:11,450 --> 00:28:15,270
and then approved and adopted at a subsequent meeting.

317
00:28:15,530 --> 00:28:18,950
So you'll see the final draft at our next board meeting.

318
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:21,540
Next slide.

319
00:28:21,540 --> 00:28:27,140
Here's an overview of how the funds can be used.

320
00:28:27,420 --> 00:28:32,140
The school districts may use the allocated funds to provide professional development to

321
00:28:32,140 --> 00:28:36,200
teachers, administrators, paraprofessional to work with students and classified staff

322
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,540
who interact with students, again for the purposes of equity, quality, and effectiveness.

323
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:49,620
The expenditures actually can take place over five school years, and our preliminary grant

324
00:28:49,620 --> 00:28:52,520
toward $885,000.

325
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,340
Next slide.

326
00:28:56,300 --> 00:29:03,900
We have two priorities for the spending of this five-year educator effect in this grant.

327
00:29:04,340 --> 00:29:10,260
Our first being supporting our beginning teachers through the St. Gabriel Valley induction program.

328
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:16,740
This program offers coaching and mentoring it offers training for our new teachers.

329
00:29:16,740 --> 00:29:21,780
It gives them an opportunity to choose a research project, implement that research project

330
00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:27,340
in their classrooms, get feedback from their mentors, get feedback from people that are

331
00:29:27,340 --> 00:29:31,620
involved in the induction program, and it gives our teachers an opportunity to clear their

332
00:29:31,620 --> 00:29:35,140
credential once they come to us with just a preliminary credential.

333
00:29:36,020 --> 00:29:42,320
We believe that over five years it will cost us approximately $325,000.

334
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,240
Our next priority next slide

335
00:29:48,260 --> 00:29:53,080
is to help our teachers, administrators and classified staff

336
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:58,380
on the practices and strategies they are currently using to reengage students and accelerate

337
00:29:58,380 --> 00:29:59,040
their learning.

338
00:29:59,040 --> 00:29:59,760
So.

339
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,120
It's an investment in existing professional development and training aligned to our strategic plan

340
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:13,340
and our LCAP, including but not limited to CGI practices, letting workshop practices,

341
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:19,900
community classroom practices, responsive classroom practices, multi-tier systems of support,

342
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:26,020
trauma informed practices, project-based learning strategies, diversity equity inclusion practices,

343
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:30,460
for restorative practices, social emotional learning strategies and mindfulness practices.

344
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:38,220
Again, our teachers have been doing a lot of work in these areas and we want to continue that work into the future.

345
00:30:38,540 --> 00:30:44,220
We approximate $560,000 to continue this learning.

346
00:30:44,820 --> 00:30:51,540
I've included, but not limited to these strategies because we will have test results at the end of this school year

347
00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:56,460
And if additional practices and strategies that re-engaging to accelerate learning need

348
00:30:56,460 --> 00:31:01,860
to be added, they can be, since we have five years to spend these five.

349
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:05,060
And that's it.

350
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,320
Any questions?

351
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:07,580
I think it's great.

352
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:11,560
I thought it was really lovely to hear about what all the teachers are doing in their professional

353
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,380
development and those wide array of things that you've mentioned here and I'm really thankful

354
00:31:16,380 --> 00:31:20,180
that we have that ability to provide that for our teachers because of course, they directly

355
00:31:20,180 --> 00:31:21,180
benefit for students.

356
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,660
And I know that Grant always comes with a lot of paperwork, so I'm going to be

357
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:27,000
answering that piece as well.

358
00:31:27,580 --> 00:31:27,660
Thanks.

359
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:29,360
Yeah.

360
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:34,380
I think the biggest thing that stands out is that it is not focused solely on the academic

361
00:31:34,380 --> 00:31:35,460
or social emotional.

362
00:31:35,740 --> 00:31:41,000
It is really spread across several domains and it really will help us as the students to sort

363
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,580
of develop both, you know, or I guess teachers.

364
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:50,280
And thereby, you just eventually become really well-rounded and supported across many different

365
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,800
and I appreciate we're not focusing on the solely one or the other is doing things.

366
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,900
Funds solely in one location, I think it really is what we're seeing.

367
00:31:58,340 --> 00:32:03,700
At this time, it all happened to us. It's good to see that there was a broad look at what might be possible,

368
00:32:03,980 --> 00:32:05,500
and we should continue to look at what we're doing.

369
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:07,500
Thank you.

370
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,080
It's also wonderful to see that we have the ability to use a consortium,

371
00:32:12,340 --> 00:32:16,840
so that the fact that we're a small district doesn't limit what we're able to provide

372
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:22,600
support and quality teaching and the growth of our very professional staff, so that's what it is.

373
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:24,860
Thank you.

374
00:32:25,060 --> 00:32:25,380
Thank you.

375
00:32:26,220 --> 00:32:29,220
Okay, so moving into agenda number five, public hearings.

376
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,940
Actually, we do not have a public hearing this month.

377
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,120
And 6.01, visitor comments.

378
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,300
So one, we're so happy to be back in person.

379
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:44,580
And this is my second time now with actual visitor comments card.

380
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:50,260
Again, the board always welcomes and appreciates any visitor comments.

381
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:56,620
We do not respond to the visitor comments and there is a time limit for each comment.

382
00:32:56,860 --> 00:33:01,700
It is three minutes and I will apologize if I mispronounce anyone's name.

383
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,160
Right, the answer here.

384
00:33:03,820 --> 00:33:06,340
First, I will call upon Mr. Garrett Shore.

385
00:33:14,670 --> 00:33:15,310
Hi, everybody.

386
00:33:15,490 --> 00:33:16,110
I'm Garrett Shore.

387
00:33:16,290 --> 00:33:16,910
I teach at the high school.

388
00:33:18,590 --> 00:33:21,990
The district, I think, has a problem with internal consistency.

389
00:33:22,810 --> 00:33:27,450
You say you appreciate public comments, but you artificially restrict them by ending

390
00:33:27,450 --> 00:33:28,450
the ability to email them.

391
00:33:29,390 --> 00:33:33,650
You say you care about mental health, but you use the definite language learning laws

392
00:33:33,650 --> 00:33:34,830
with students.

393
00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:40,610
And while other districts give teachers time and effective communication, we often get reminders

394
00:33:40,610 --> 00:33:44,390
to practice self-care, you know, along with hotlines and PDFs.

395
00:33:45,290 --> 00:33:49,410
You discuss the importance of testing when it comes to identifying gaps in achievements,

396
00:33:49,970 --> 00:33:54,030
or opportunity, but you don't want to test the error teachers and students' brief.

397
00:33:54,830 --> 00:34:00,310
Both to ensure ventilation is adequate for COVID, and CO2 levels are low enough to produce

398
00:34:00,310 --> 00:34:00,730
a learning.

399
00:34:02,190 --> 00:34:06,710
You test the acknowledge that COVID is airborne by accepting the importance of inhalation

400
00:34:06,710 --> 00:34:11,550
and endorsing hypocritiation, but you won't discuss the importance of better quality masks

401
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:18,970
with appropriate fits. You allow the district to loosen quarantine protocols, as long as the

402
00:34:18,970 --> 00:34:24,250
student is vaccinated and has properly won a mask, but the district doesn't teach students

403
00:34:24,250 --> 00:34:31,130
or teachers how to properly wear masks and simply trust that they have them. And teachers

404
00:34:31,130 --> 00:34:36,370
aren't told who's under modified quarantine, so stricter protocols in schools are left to

405
00:34:36,370 --> 00:34:37,390
the owner's system.

406
00:34:39,650 --> 00:34:43,010
You want people to stay home if they feel sick, but you don't provide

407
00:34:43,010 --> 00:34:47,970
students with a way to keep up while at home. You don't let teachers use COVID time to stay

408
00:34:47,970 --> 00:34:52,230
home out of precaution, and you don't have rapid tests available at school sites.

409
00:34:54,870 --> 00:34:54,990
Your

410
00:34:54,990 --> 00:35:00,910
COVID notification emails say everyone who's a close contact has been told that close contacts

411
00:35:00,910 --> 00:35:07,470
have been overlooked. Teachers don't appear on the seating charts in areas, and teachers aren't

412
00:35:07,470 --> 00:35:12,670
interviewed to see if class activities may have altered who closed contexts might have been

413
00:35:12,670 --> 00:35:13,870
on a given day.

414
00:35:16,550 --> 00:35:22,150
If we take appropriate measures, we won't have outbreaks. That is a strictly

415
00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:28,970
conditional statement. It's not a biconditional statement. We cannot assume that if we don't

416
00:35:28,970 --> 00:35:35,270
have outbreaks, we have taken appropriate measures. Not all of LA Public Health guidelines are

417
00:35:35,270 --> 00:35:39,090
being followed right now, in order those guidelines go far enough in the first place.

418
00:35:40,270 --> 00:35:43,750
We've been lucky so far, and I hope our luck doesn't run out.

419
00:35:44,690 --> 00:35:50,230
More so, I hope the district and board policies become internally consistent so we don't have

420
00:35:50,230 --> 00:35:51,770
to rely on that luck.

421
00:35:52,590 --> 00:35:52,930
Thank you.

422
00:35:53,170 --> 00:35:53,410
Great time.

423
00:35:54,810 --> 00:35:55,370
Thank you.

424
00:35:56,350 --> 00:36:00,710
Our second comment this evening is from Mr. John Srebales.

425
00:36:05,590 --> 00:36:05,910
Good evening.

426
00:36:07,830 --> 00:36:10,990
Evening Board and administrators, I am John Srebolis.

427
00:36:11,190 --> 00:36:16,570
You know some of me by email, Zaire actually has the misfortune of knowing me in person.

428
00:36:17,910 --> 00:36:23,530
I want to start off by asking the room, how many people in this room are familiar with

429
00:36:23,530 --> 00:36:28,390
the free public school guarantee of California Constitution?

430
00:36:30,190 --> 00:36:32,310
Article 9, Section 5 and 6.

431
00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:39,190
Several years ago, I appointed myself something of a fee police.

432
00:36:39,450 --> 00:36:41,650
I believe in a free public school system.

433
00:36:42,530 --> 00:36:45,490
The Constitution and related statutes mandate it.

434
00:36:46,390 --> 00:36:51,830
Okay. Now this district does a great job on many things,

435
00:36:51,830 --> 00:36:56,710
but sometimes you play fast and loose with that mandate.

436
00:36:57,790 --> 00:37:00,070
Okay, and I've had to send letters and complaints.

437
00:37:00,070 --> 00:37:03,090
and some of you know that the lengths have gone on this issue.

438
00:37:03,770 --> 00:37:08,130
So we have a field trip that's on the calendar for the middle school.

439
00:37:08,210 --> 00:37:09,710
It's happening in February.

440
00:37:10,890 --> 00:37:13,310
Now this is a field trip trip to Washington, D.C.

441
00:37:13,330 --> 00:37:17,650
and I believe a couple of former plantations.

442
00:37:17,670 --> 00:37:19,630
And that's another issue that we'll be discussed.

443
00:37:19,890 --> 00:37:23,130
But the trip costs $2,500.

444
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:25,370
Okay.

445
00:37:25,370 --> 00:37:29,610
And how many kids can afford that?

446
00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:31,190
All of them?

447
00:37:32,230 --> 00:37:32,590
No.

448
00:37:33,670 --> 00:37:41,680
So the district claims that this is not a school-sponsored event.

449
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:47,140
It's administered by a company called World Strides, a four-profit company.

450
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:52,740
And in reality, you may say that.

451
00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:00,780
It doesn't necessarily become a non-school sponsored event just because you say it is.

452
00:38:01,940 --> 00:38:07,880
If you missed one, actually, when you updated the web properties, this is on the middle school website.

453
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:11,900
Under eighth grade activities, it lists this field trip.

454
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:18,480
And the parent meeting took place during open house in the library on school grounds.

455
00:38:19,340 --> 00:38:27,480
This trip was promoted on parent square by the assistant principal, vice principal of the middle school.

456
00:38:28,580 --> 00:38:34,840
And Ms. Katie Chen is listed as the contact with her SPUSD.net email.

457
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:46,570
So you got to do better in what I'm asking for now because this ship has somewhat sailed.

458
00:38:47,650 --> 00:38:56,710
But under statute you need to go out and get funding, secure funding from community service groups for the kids who can't afford the $2,500.

459
00:38:57,790 --> 00:39:06,050
Okay, so I'm going to ask you because this has been so prominently displayed on district web properties.

460
00:39:06,050 --> 00:39:16,250
Walk this back, please. Open it up, clarify that no student will be denied participation

461
00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:22,610
for lack of funds and go out and get those funds. Okay, please, I'm asking for your

462
00:39:22,610 --> 00:39:29,150
help. I'm not here to give you trouble. Can one person here stand up and leave a safety

463
00:39:29,150 --> 00:39:29,690
of the PAC,

464
00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:38,770
and consider this. Consider it. Free public schools should be free. Thank you.

465
00:39:41,740 --> 00:39:50,120
Thank you. Thank you. And we are now at, I just need 6.0 to board comments. Why don't

466
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,480
we start with Mr. Rob?

467
00:39:54,450 --> 00:39:59,630
So this has been an interesting sort of time. I'm trying to remember

468
00:39:59,630 --> 00:40:03,970
between meetings and public comments. We've had intermediate things. I think I got my counter

469
00:40:03,970 --> 00:40:11,290
right. So, South-Western High School Rooster Club and PTSA meetings is great to see the

470
00:40:11,290 --> 00:40:15,990
amount of activities coming back at high school and secondary level, I think, is having

471
00:40:15,990 --> 00:40:20,410
all of our schools, but especially in that level, it's sort of all I've been well. A lot

472
00:40:20,410 --> 00:40:27,050
of that was evidenced by the homecoming festivities, both the games and correlated activities

473
00:40:27,050 --> 00:40:32,090
advanced and I think so long with lines. And what was great to see in the booster club meeting,

474
00:40:32,090 --> 00:40:36,370
especially is the amount of efforts put together by

475
00:40:36,370 --> 00:40:39,470
FU Chan, you know, he mentioned he's a advisor for that group of students.

476
00:40:40,190 --> 00:40:43,110
I know there are some e-cups as we look at COVID protocols and

477
00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:46,570
side what could be accommodated but in the end I think they found a very

478
00:40:46,570 --> 00:40:49,770
workable solution that was enjoyed by everyone I talked to so

479
00:40:50,190 --> 00:40:53,330
that was really great to see and want to put here back on the students because I

480
00:40:53,330 --> 00:40:57,390
think some of that normalcy that was seen in school comes from yes for

481
00:40:57,390 --> 00:41:00,410
training classes but also some of these other social behaviors I think he had a

482
00:41:00,410 --> 00:41:03,590
the case last spring, but to really see things during the

483
00:41:03,590 --> 00:41:05,230
convention, obviously, it's been wonderful to see.

484
00:41:06,110 --> 00:41:08,230
So it may work by all parties there.

485
00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:10,850
Bingo, you know, is up and running again, you know,

486
00:41:10,910 --> 00:41:12,510
different activities are definitely there.

487
00:41:12,670 --> 00:41:13,570
So that's great to see.

488
00:41:14,910 --> 00:41:17,690
Also, with the departure of Dr. Badge and sadly,

489
00:41:19,470 --> 00:41:22,110
Moringo of PTA was left without a representative.

490
00:41:22,370 --> 00:41:24,810
So I know as if the joint one, I think, Ruby Eurbs

491
00:41:24,810 --> 00:41:26,550
again, meaning as well, that's good.

492
00:41:26,910 --> 00:41:29,490
I think the representation of PASO come back to that group

493
00:41:29,490 --> 00:41:34,650
been just sharing from that community again. It was nice to have. So good busy doing that.

494
00:41:34,750 --> 00:41:39,190
I'm excited to see the success of the football team and other playoffs and there was

495
00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:43,690
other sports, but I know it was a big game Friday, so wishing them all the success

496
00:41:44,330 --> 00:41:48,590
with that weekend and also the performances from the theater group. So lots of happening,

497
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:53,790
a lot of excitement. So just by seeing people participating fully and enjoying school again.

498
00:41:54,430 --> 00:41:58,350
Yes, that's all. Thank you for that. And then moving on to our student board member Mr. Kim.

499
00:41:58,350 --> 00:42:03,890
I was going to sort of take you back on to that. I was going to mention the homecoming.

500
00:42:04,070 --> 00:42:10,950
We had a record turn after dance about 650 people, which is sort of twice what was

501
00:42:10,950 --> 00:42:16,510
anticipated, but glad we could accommodate everywhere and along with that the assembly

502
00:42:16,510 --> 00:42:21,390
and the picnic, which is where clubs can sell different things to fundraise, that all

503
00:42:21,390 --> 00:42:27,250
weren't well. And then we also hosted, I was part of a group of students who hosted a

504
00:42:27,250 --> 00:42:33,010
to a pre-registration drive at SHS along with the AP government teacher, Ms. Nielsen.

505
00:42:33,930 --> 00:42:40,090
And that was pretty successful. We got maybe 150 people to pre-register and, you know,

506
00:42:40,230 --> 00:42:44,970
anyone 16 over can do it on the link, like just lifting up California pre-registered vote.

507
00:42:46,450 --> 00:42:54,090
Also, SHS had an ADL training, anti-deformation training for students. There wasn't a great

508
00:42:54,090 --> 00:42:58,690
The attendance I've played there was some communication issues with just publicizing that but still

509
00:42:58,690 --> 00:43:03,830
some students didn't get to attend that and the entire virus, other than other groups are

510
00:43:03,830 --> 00:43:11,070
trying to publicize those resources and also we're sort of in the midst of the ASB Health

511
00:43:11,070 --> 00:43:16,930
and Wellness Sciences are releasing the now-linual wellness survey so that closes November 12th,

512
00:43:16,930 --> 00:43:21,970
So there will probably be some data on possibly to present to you all and other staff and

513
00:43:21,970 --> 00:43:22,350
research.

514
00:43:24,330 --> 00:43:31,090
And also, Mr. Admission, this is the sense and sensibility of a full play this weekend

515
00:43:31,090 --> 00:43:34,590
and very exciting looking forward to attend that.

516
00:43:34,810 --> 00:43:36,110
So yeah, a lot of events happening.

517
00:43:36,870 --> 00:43:37,430
All right.

518
00:43:37,550 --> 00:43:39,190
And it's nice that the full play will be outdoors.

519
00:43:39,510 --> 00:43:42,130
They've had to keep changing and changing to accommodate the time.

520
00:43:42,970 --> 00:43:43,690
Thank you for that.

521
00:43:43,850 --> 00:43:44,410
Dr. Tiki.

522
00:43:45,430 --> 00:43:45,910
Hi.

523
00:43:45,910 --> 00:43:49,750
Yes, so I have just two comments that I wanted to make.

524
00:43:50,230 --> 00:43:56,670
First, I wanted to just thank our team and Mr. Bay in particular, the

525
00:43:56,670 --> 00:43:58,510
professional development this last week.

526
00:43:58,510 --> 00:44:02,970
I just was so impressed that the two topics that were discussed were

527
00:44:02,970 --> 00:44:07,570
trauma-informed care and LGBTQ plus competency training.

528
00:44:08,170 --> 00:44:08,930
So I thank you.

529
00:44:09,210 --> 00:44:14,030
I mean, this is, gosh, couldn't be any more excited that those are two topics

530
00:44:14,030 --> 00:44:18,170
that we're really supporting our employees, our staff, and teachers.

531
00:44:18,770 --> 00:44:24,130
The other thing is just to acknowledge and thank our teachers who were honored tonight,

532
00:44:24,510 --> 00:44:31,050
but also to thank all of our teachers and all of our employees for just the tremendous

533
00:44:31,050 --> 00:44:34,490
work that they do each and every day to support our students.

534
00:44:38,810 --> 00:44:47,750
So in my role as PTA Council Representative, I'm happy to inform you that I do every

535
00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:54,490
month that PTA continues alive and well and does so many things at every one of our

536
00:44:54,490 --> 00:44:57,510
schools to make a special place for students.

537
00:44:57,610 --> 00:44:59,350
I'm very appreciative of that.

538
00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:15,300
Without the teachers and parents, we wouldn't be the district we are. So that's such an important thing. And then a really special opportunity for me had the chance to attend the fourth grade play that Mr.

539
00:45:15,300 --> 00:45:22,100
Mr. Chair of Manel, our drama district-wide elementary drama teacher puts on at each of

540
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:23,040
our elementary schools.

541
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:30,260
And I was extremely impressed by the fact that for the third year going, he has created

542
00:45:30,260 --> 00:45:38,680
an original play based on a significant but better but lesser-known representative of some

543
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,440
of our endorsed local leaders.

544
00:45:40,440 --> 00:46:08,780
This year, it was on Didi Mason, and I learned that Didi Mason, who came to California as a slave, became a freed person, and went on to become the nurse midwife to many of the outstanding families whose names we do recognize as important in California, and became such a well-to-do woman to the property she owned,

545
00:46:08,780 --> 00:46:15,320
that after the great flood that occurred in the 1850s in Los Angeles was able to establish

546
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:20,140
at the local grocery store. LA was much smaller. They had a local grocery store in there.

547
00:46:21,740 --> 00:46:27,480
A charge account. And when asked by the proprietor, why are you establishing this charge account,

548
00:46:27,660 --> 00:46:33,780
you have plenty of money. He said, this is for my neighbors. He said, which neighbors?

549
00:46:33,780 --> 00:46:39,540
She said, well, all of them, they need it, and I have it, and she gave them a bundle of cash.

550
00:46:40,020 --> 00:46:47,420
I am so impressed to watch the learning that happens with our fourth graders as they participate in drama,

551
00:46:47,780 --> 00:46:52,460
because it makes such a difference to have the arts support the concept.

552
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:58,020
So I wanted to be sure and mention that, even though that's not the school I'm attached to,

553
00:46:58,020 --> 00:47:03,960
in the catch to the middle school and their clubs are going great,

554
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:09,860
watch them getting together as I go around near the school by sunburns near.

555
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:16,160
So I see a lot of kids are happily participating in terminal sports.

556
00:47:17,340 --> 00:47:21,020
People out there playing every single day after school,

557
00:47:21,180 --> 00:47:25,100
and it is wonderful to see I don't hear them ever raise their voices

558
00:47:25,100 --> 00:47:28,600
there's anything but joy, which is also an outstanding thing.

559
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,980
And coming up, I believe it's this Wednesday night

560
00:47:31,980 --> 00:47:34,960
they're having a social where the kids are going to grow.

561
00:47:35,260 --> 00:47:37,640
Eat, play games, have a good time together.

562
00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:39,860
And when I asked, is this a dance?

563
00:47:40,580 --> 00:47:41,280
Let's talk now.

564
00:47:41,780 --> 00:47:42,960
We're just getting together.

565
00:47:43,460 --> 00:47:47,580
So why not we're getting wonderful chats for the next few days?

566
00:47:48,220 --> 00:47:49,020
That's my report.

567
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:50,320
Great, thank you.

568
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,620
And then for my report, just a couple of meetings

569
00:47:53,620 --> 00:48:05,360
As Jessica Kipsey already mentioned, Dr. Kipsey, myself and Dr. Yance, and two city council members were able to meet and discuss some things of common interest to the district as well as the city.

570
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:12,120
You did discuss about the distancing process, but both of us are going through the city already as a district election.

571
00:48:12,300 --> 00:48:20,960
And we will be going to just elections by district seeing and then as Jessica Kipsey mentioned, all the different developments and trying to figure out where we are with those.

572
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,260
We also discussed some cost and guard issues, apparently.

573
00:48:24,820 --> 00:48:28,740
The city does trade and hire cost and guards,

574
00:48:28,860 --> 00:48:32,640
and there were a couple issues with certain cost and guards

575
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,820
not having shown up for duty,

576
00:48:35,220 --> 00:48:37,320
and the police department had to come in and take over,

577
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,080
and so we talked about ways that the company that they use

578
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,980
could be notified by this more before there's this problem

579
00:48:44,980 --> 00:48:47,000
when there's a bunch of students waiting to cross,

580
00:48:47,220 --> 00:48:47,900
things like that.

581
00:48:48,740 --> 00:48:49,720
But that was a productive meeting,

582
00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:54,180
and I'm glad that we were able to do that and in fact that was also in person at City Hall.

583
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:59,400
So that's always great. I attended my usual press and the Monor Hill's PTA meetings,

584
00:48:59,660 --> 00:49:04,900
both of which I'm the Board Liaison for. You've seen the press yard sign sign now, and if you have

585
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:09,120
not yet had a chance to donate this school year, it is not too late to get one of your

586
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:14,620
lovely orange yard signs saying that you have contributed to the south path to be an educational

587
00:49:14,620 --> 00:49:24,680
Foundation as you can, and as Dr. Ava Singh, Dr. Avajyan, who is absent, I also did attend

588
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,440
the Moringo PTA meeting, and that was actually really great for me because all three of my

589
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:33,280
children were in Moringo, and it was just lovely to be a part of the Moringo PTA meeting

590
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:39,200
again, and just so much activity there is, everyone is already stated, and I also was able

591
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:44,420
to attend, because Dr. Ravaji and Missouliya's on to the Special Needs Committee, us

592
00:49:44,420 --> 00:49:51,000
go and measure all from the Special Needs Committee, hosted a special ed 101 virtual meeting

593
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:57,460
for parents and Dennis Lefav and Nancy Goldstein were able to present to parents and really

594
00:49:57,460 --> 00:50:07,900
explain what the process is to have a student success team or to have a 90P or a 504 in the

595
00:50:07,900 --> 00:50:14,020
a really great presentation and I'm really proud of our district and that so many of you

596
00:50:14,020 --> 00:50:18,880
all from the district are just so willing to you know come out whether it be in person

597
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:24,940
or on Zoom on an EGME after work and share your time and your knowledge and your expertise

598
00:50:24,940 --> 00:50:26,800
with parents because I think it's really important.

599
00:50:27,540 --> 00:50:33,980
So thank you for that and I also wanted to mention you know we've talked about vaccines

600
00:50:33,980 --> 00:50:38,520
We're here, the 5-2-11, they're eligible for COVID vaccines.

601
00:50:39,820 --> 00:50:44,060
We had had now four different vaccine drives, too.

602
00:50:44,300 --> 00:50:50,400
We partnered with the USC CEP School of Medicine and did all our teachers and staff when

603
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,820
the vaccine was first available for high-risk work type populations.

604
00:50:55,500 --> 00:51:01,480
And then we hosted two on-site, if the middle school gym, vaccine drives when the vaccine

605
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,060
became available for 12 and up.

606
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:05,380
We got about 140 to 160 kids.

607
00:51:05,980 --> 00:51:06,820
Really fantastic.

608
00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:09,260
I know I mentioned before, but I think there were about two

609
00:51:09,260 --> 00:51:12,360
kids who turned 12 on the day because they were getting

610
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,740
their vaccine and it was their first time ever being

611
00:51:14,740 --> 00:51:17,500
in the gym during all the pandemic stuff.

612
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:18,780
We're just seeing our campus.

613
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:20,120
So those are really great.

614
00:51:20,740 --> 00:51:22,960
We have worked to schedule another drive.

615
00:51:23,060 --> 00:51:24,320
We've been going back and forth on day

616
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:25,960
from we were kind of watching what was going on.

617
00:51:26,140 --> 00:51:28,680
Initially it was eight months for another booster

618
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:29,860
that I shortened to six months.

619
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,160
And then five to 11 was going to be closer to Thanksgiving

620
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:37,540
giving and then that really got closer. But we do have a dry schedule for December 11th,

621
00:51:37,540 --> 00:51:42,460
which is a Saturday at the middle school gym. Abby, silver, our nurse, reached out to

622
00:51:42,460 --> 00:51:48,500
me if we couldn't get a sooner appointment because of the sooner availability. But my understanding

623
00:51:48,500 --> 00:51:53,340
and I don't know if she certainly differently is that techs don't have the pediatric dosing available.

624
00:51:53,680 --> 00:52:01,440
So we aren't able right now to get a sooner drive. But for sure, we found December 11th on the book,

625
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,460
and that will be at the middle school, and that will be more information to come.

626
00:52:04,620 --> 00:52:08,160
All would be welcome who aren't eligible to receive their Pfizer vaccine.

627
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:10,920
So that would be from five on top.

628
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:18,180
And the last thing I wanted to say, I did get a chance to attend that first CIS football game this last Friday.

629
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:23,580
And I have to say, you know, Mr. Shaw is always up there in the stands, and he gives it all out, play by play.

630
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:28,180
I showed up, and I looked at the other team, and I thought, oh my god, they were huge.

631
00:52:28,180 --> 00:52:32,260
which I had a moment of worry, but oh my God,

632
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,760
our team was just so quick and agile

633
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,080
that the fans were so on it.

634
00:52:36,860 --> 00:52:38,940
So many good plays, it was really remarkable.

635
00:52:38,940 --> 00:52:40,100
They did fantastic.

636
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,040
And so for those of you who can,

637
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,220
the next theme is a way, as Mr. Roger said,

638
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:47,640
and that's I think an upland.

639
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:50,700
And tickets are available online.

640
00:52:50,940 --> 00:52:51,880
They have to be pre-purchased.

641
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,880
So I'd encourage people to go there if they can.

642
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:56,900
I actually will be at a family wedding.

643
00:52:56,900 --> 00:52:59,660
But I can tell others to go.

644
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:01,560
So that's my report.

645
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,640
And before I close, I just have to say it again too.

646
00:53:04,980 --> 00:53:06,920
And we all at this entire table.

647
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,060
We all are so thankful to our teachers and our staff.

648
00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:11,980
And we were so grateful to have our excellent teachers of the year

649
00:53:11,980 --> 00:53:13,300
here with us this evening.

650
00:53:13,940 --> 00:53:16,680
And being strong believer of public education,

651
00:53:16,820 --> 00:53:21,180
I can absolutely 100% say that a good teacher really makes a difference

652
00:53:21,180 --> 00:53:22,820
in a child's life forever.

653
00:53:22,820 --> 00:53:26,760
And I still recall many of the teachers who made me,

654
00:53:27,300 --> 00:53:29,880
who were very different than the rest of my classmates,

655
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,300
still feel like I had value.

656
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,480
And I carry that to this day and I saw it with my own children

657
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:36,820
as they went through the district.

658
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,900
So, thank you to all our teachers and staff.

659
00:53:41,420 --> 00:53:44,520
Moving on to the superintendent's report, 6.03.

660
00:53:44,720 --> 00:53:45,100
Back to you guys.

661
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:45,960
Yeah.

662
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,520
Your comments about Mr. Mann,

663
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,520
I believe he writes those points.

664
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:58,120
So I wanted to make sure that was not understood that he actually writes the plays and that's what's even more impressive.

665
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:07,720
And I was so impressed by the quality of the information that I was telling a friend on the phone in the company of one of my grandkids who was here.

666
00:54:08,620 --> 00:54:16,140
I asked afterwards, am I getting it right? And play by play, remember everything in it even though they weren't all his parts.

667
00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:27,580
But the, yes, and the original, it was fantastic every year he does that, so it's nice to

668
00:54:27,580 --> 00:54:28,060
see.

669
00:54:29,820 --> 00:54:35,060
Meaning of Facilities, if you recall, the board gave direction regarding the Meaning of

670
00:54:35,060 --> 00:54:37,920
Facility after Mr. Janet Anderson.

671
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:43,380
Noah has provided, he went out and recruited a couple of students who would like to participate.

672
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:49,740
Mr. Elder assisted with getting a list of teachers who are interested and were in the

673
00:54:49,740 --> 00:54:57,120
process of getting some classified staff as well and we'll move on to getting maybe

674
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,100
a parent or two.

675
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:04,100
We're going to, there's a sort of a longer list with teachers who are interested so we

676
00:55:04,100 --> 00:55:09,460
just got to figure out how to sort of dwindle up down so we don't have a lot of people

677
00:55:09,460 --> 00:55:13,760
to coordinate the schedule somewhat.

678
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:14,780
Yes, it's a very good sign.

679
00:55:14,980 --> 00:55:18,040
So I just want to let you know that we're in process,

680
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,080
and there are a lot of other things going on,

681
00:55:21,220 --> 00:55:23,960
but we're taking a day by day with that.

682
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,660
Likewise, with staff development, Mr. Durvey,

683
00:55:29,980 --> 00:55:31,960
and the teachers, and the administrators,

684
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,700
it does take a lot of effort to coordinate that,

685
00:55:35,700 --> 00:55:43,480
and what is even more challenging is there's just so much need and no time right when it comes

686
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:49,360
to being able to have those opportunities. We only have a few in service days throughout a

687
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:54,740
school year there are opportunities for late start dates or you know some other little staff

688
00:55:54,740 --> 00:56:00,200
meetings and stuff we can speak some things in but these days are very precious when it comes to

689
00:56:00,860 --> 00:56:07,920
teachers time and what we do and again there's a lot of need out there and these

690
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:12,820
are two very relevant important topics and it is nice to see and I the feedback

691
00:56:12,820 --> 00:56:18,660
that I received to was it was a real good experience for our secondary teachers.

692
00:56:20,580 --> 00:56:27,680
Middle school Whiffle Ball Intermural Finals is on Friday so they've been playing

693
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:33,800
Whistleball 3-B, 3-B, I think the 3-B 3-B or 7-B-7, I don't know how many are on a team

694
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:41,220
but it is, it's pretty wild out there and they have a lot of fun at middle school.

695
00:56:41,420 --> 00:56:46,280
So it is Friday if anybody wants to go to watch so let me know, I'm going to try and make

696
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:51,220
it over there and then they're going to be doing kickball next go around.

697
00:56:51,500 --> 00:56:56,400
So it's a big tournament, even teachers are playing and students and stuff too so it's

698
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:01,300
been great to see. The last couple of weeks I've had an opportunity to work with the music

699
00:57:01,300 --> 00:57:06,580
boosters at the middle school to kind of navigate through some challenges we're having.

700
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:14,660
But what came out of that was just a while. We've, you know, again, a large group of parents

701
00:57:14,660 --> 00:57:21,280
who are very passionate about the arts and who contribute their time and their talents

702
00:57:22,100 --> 00:57:32,700
to support what goes on in the classroom and just want to appreciate and extend my appreciation to everything that they're doing for the middle school and making our arts program better.

703
00:57:33,140 --> 00:57:38,240
It was just nice to see and experience and work through some challenges they were having.

704
00:57:38,940 --> 00:57:47,700
And lastly, I've mentioned this in the past too, just a cultural shift we've really focused on in high school athletics and at the San Marino Games.

705
00:57:47,700 --> 00:57:53,440
I know we had a CIF game, but Sam Marino game was just a week or two prior to that and the

706
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:58,520
stands were packed and there was so much spirit there. It was fun to watch. Everybody was

707
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:07,280
enjoying it. Great game. We came out on top, but it's just, it's nice to see all the spirit

708
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:14,500
and as Noah mentioned, the homecoming dance, twice the number of students, it's great.

709
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:23,240
It's so needed and everybody is really stepping up to make things happen and make it fun and enjoyable and state connected, so.

710
00:58:25,220 --> 00:58:27,160
With that, that's my report.

711
00:58:27,660 --> 00:58:28,400
Okay, thank you.

712
00:58:28,980 --> 00:58:32,060
And then instruction student achievement, update, missed survey.

713
00:58:40,370 --> 00:58:45,110
As our elementary first trimester comes to a close, I want to thank our art teachers.

714
00:58:46,990 --> 00:58:52,310
Our drama teacher, our visual arts teacher and music teacher who are packing up their

715
00:58:52,310 --> 00:58:58,150
staff and moving on to their new school and it is not easy being an itinerant teacher

716
00:58:58,150 --> 00:59:00,490
and they do so much for all of our students.

717
00:59:00,850 --> 00:59:05,870
So thank you to the art teachers, for all they do for our students at the elementary level.

718
00:59:06,370 --> 00:59:11,230
We have elementary parent teacher conference week next week, encourage all parents to attend

719
00:59:11,230 --> 00:59:17,830
and link our teachers for their constant and continuous communication with our parents

720
00:59:18,250 --> 00:59:19,370
on student progress.

721
00:59:19,710 --> 00:59:23,810
I know that parent-teacher conference week is often long days for our teachers, but I

722
00:59:23,810 --> 00:59:27,990
so appreciate all they do to keep our parents informed.

723
00:59:29,390 --> 00:59:34,370
And in terms of trauma-informed practices, I thank you to young and healthy not only for

724
00:59:34,370 --> 00:59:39,410
Monday's professional development session, but they're actually doing afternoon sessions

725
00:59:39,410 --> 00:59:41,450
for all three of our elementary schools.

726
00:59:41,950 --> 00:59:45,210
When we sent out our PV interest survey at the beginning of the year,

727
00:59:45,370 --> 00:59:49,770
trauma-informed practices was of highest interest to our teachers.

728
00:59:50,250 --> 00:59:54,390
I think they recognized the need given the pandemic.

729
00:59:55,050 --> 00:59:59,930
So we thought, instead of providing optional afternoon works.

730
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:18,580
I'm grateful to report that, you know, by the end of this year, all of our teachers will have been trained in foundational trauma informed practices 101. And that training will continue in grow. Thanks to the educator effective.

731
01:00:18,580 --> 01:00:19,000
Yes.

732
01:00:19,420 --> 01:00:20,580
Thank you.

733
01:00:21,300 --> 01:00:21,780
Great.

734
01:00:21,980 --> 01:00:22,940
Thank you.

735
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,300
And human resources update.

736
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,040
Thank you.

737
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:27,400
Thank you.

738
01:00:28,020 --> 01:00:28,260
Thank you.

739
01:00:28,260 --> 01:00:29,200
And business service update.

740
01:00:29,300 --> 01:00:29,340
Thank you.

741
01:00:29,740 --> 01:00:30,400
All right.

742
01:00:30,580 --> 01:00:30,800
We're good.

743
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:36,820
Moving on to 7.0-1-F-P-S-P-S-T strategic plan.

744
01:00:37,460 --> 01:00:37,980
Talk to you on.

745
01:00:42,250 --> 01:00:43,630
Six, eight weeks ago.

746
01:00:43,770 --> 01:00:50,190
Boy, how the strategic planning session, which we went through last couple of years and looked

747
01:00:50,190 --> 01:01:00,770
forward, and as one of the outcomes of that, the board had a recommendation to revise

748
01:01:01,570 --> 01:01:09,910
the goal regarding evaluate and modify existing academic intervention programs and social

749
01:01:09,910 --> 01:01:14,610
and emotional support services to meet individual and collective student needs and to close

750
01:01:14,610 --> 01:01:22,570
the achievement gap for identified subgroups. There are a couple sample revisions based on the

751
01:01:22,570 --> 01:01:32,610
discussion that was held and clearly it can be modified from what you read here too as well but

752
01:01:34,250 --> 01:01:42,310
so it's a discussion item before you to talk further and if you do come to consensus we can

753
01:01:42,310 --> 01:01:47,370
bring her back as an accident and more have further discussion at your next meeting.

754
01:01:48,950 --> 01:01:53,090
So as you said, we had kind of re-worked it during our strategic plan meetings.

755
01:01:53,490 --> 01:01:56,550
And then I think we kind of got the consensus and we brought it forward.

756
01:01:56,730 --> 01:02:00,970
And then at that point, Dr. Rajan, who had not been part of the strategic plan meeting,

757
01:02:01,110 --> 01:02:02,710
had some concerns about.

758
01:02:03,330 --> 01:02:05,770
I think it was more of just missing an action piece.

759
01:02:06,230 --> 01:02:10,230
What I heard there, and I'm going to look at Dr. Rajan.

760
01:02:15,570 --> 01:02:36,310
I think one of the issues that we talked about was the difference between equitable opportunity

761
01:02:36,310 --> 01:02:45,530
and equitable to change that equitable opportunity means that you offer something to everyone.

762
01:02:46,350 --> 01:02:52,650
But the offering of something in the environment where students may not already be ready to receive it

763
01:02:52,650 --> 01:02:58,150
does not necessarily mean that it's an equitable opportunity for that achievement to occur.

764
01:02:58,530 --> 01:03:02,910
So I think that's where we were putting some of our emphasis knowing that

765
01:03:02,910 --> 01:03:17,350
just because we can come up with a statement by the board and it becomes policy if there's no action and no measure of how we're doing on achieving it, we don't get to anything other than offering.

766
01:03:18,050 --> 01:03:20,610
So that was some of the discussion around.

767
01:03:23,570 --> 01:03:29,270
Yeah, I mean I think that's the big piece is just a conversation around simply providing

768
01:03:29,270 --> 01:03:35,990
versus not only providing but looking at what art now comes at it and that's why we want

769
01:03:35,990 --> 01:03:38,970
to sort of modify some of that language there and come up with something that is a little

770
01:03:38,970 --> 01:03:44,770
bit more grounded in what really comes of the actions that we're taking as a policy.

771
01:03:45,130 --> 01:03:50,310
So I think that was really just kind of circling back on those pieces and finding if there was

772
01:03:50,310 --> 01:03:56,530
something that really, you know, comes together with it, you know, I don't know how many iterations

773
01:03:56,530 --> 01:03:57,110
we went through.

774
01:03:58,650 --> 01:03:59,310
Quite a few.

775
01:04:01,190 --> 01:04:05,370
And I think it all started initially, you know, I said, instead of it, you make out it

776
01:04:05,370 --> 01:04:08,750
so I don't have the opportunity to make out for men from there, we just kind of really

777
01:04:08,750 --> 01:04:10,390
kind of rework the whole thing.

778
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:17,520
We have a certain point.

779
01:04:19,100 --> 01:04:23,760
Every few years we go through an iteration of what the language was going to use to talk

780
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:29,800
about something that we will form in our size. We come up with new words but we don't necessarily

781
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:38,020
extract the form. So I guess the point I'm making is talking about achievement gaps can sometimes

782
01:04:38,020 --> 01:04:44,820
put the blame on a student for not having achieved at the level we would want that student to achieve

783
01:04:44,820 --> 01:04:51,340
as if it were the students fault high five in the self. And I think the direction that we're

784
01:04:51,340 --> 01:04:56,800
growing is looking at how do we hold the highest expectations for all students and support

785
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:02,740
them in whatever way necessary, such that they achieve the outcome.

786
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:10,380
It's a hard goal to reach, but one I think we should always be striving for.

787
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:19,420
However, we label what we're doing, and I like that we, basically where we ended up here

788
01:05:19,420 --> 01:05:22,180
from what I recall is when we said we were ensuring

789
01:05:22,180 --> 01:05:24,240
that our students were all students, it was really

790
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,100
that same idea that we can challenge those

791
01:05:28,100 --> 01:05:30,260
while we're doing well even further

792
01:05:30,260 --> 01:05:32,940
and yet we can also continue to support

793
01:05:33,460 --> 01:05:36,980
whether to help in a variety of different ways, right?

794
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,560
So I think, for me, I don't have a problem right now

795
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,100
with the way that we ended up.

796
01:05:43,300 --> 01:05:47,940
I don't know if that was the number one person option.

797
01:05:47,940 --> 01:05:57,760
Yeah. Yeah, I would encourage that number one seems to get at the heart of the issue and

798
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:05,760
do the way that highlights what our goals were. In the end, it's language moving it around

799
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:10,420
what we think is really what we do in that and make sure that we hold ourselves to it.

800
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:15,340
We're more important, but to give a guide post for future boards, I think number one does

801
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:24,440
I'm always impressed by student board members reflection on this issue and wonder if there

802
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:30,020
is something that we should do as a regular part of our board event that actually attends

803
01:06:30,020 --> 01:06:33,780
to ensure that that's an award.

804
01:06:34,020 --> 01:06:39,820
She's like, so that we would be sure to do that something that happened here, but that's

805
01:06:39,820 --> 01:06:48,260
that it occurred that it was measurable in ways that are not always about figures.

806
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:53,020
Lots of the measurements in schools have to be by observation.

807
01:06:54,060 --> 01:06:59,000
There's just anything that adds some of our own things to this.

808
01:07:00,180 --> 01:07:02,840
For ourselves and for public understanding.

809
01:07:12,970 --> 01:07:19,350
Yeah, I like where we landed with number one, and if we're ready to move to two, I also

810
01:07:19,350 --> 01:07:24,250
just really like this new language, and just emphasizing, you know, one of the changes

811
01:07:24,250 --> 01:07:28,850
is to provide equitable opportunities that support the achievement of all students.

812
01:07:29,070 --> 01:07:30,410
I just really look at it.

813
01:07:31,050 --> 01:07:40,090
So we're looking at one or the other, but one or the other, oh gosh, and I really, oh okay, all right,

814
01:07:47,900 --> 01:07:49,240
so everyone's feeling number one?

815
01:07:50,220 --> 01:07:54,060
I think they're very similar, quite honestly. I can see what these things are.

816
01:07:54,060 --> 01:07:54,800
This is word of different.

817
01:07:55,500 --> 01:08:03,520
Yeah. The difference is whether or not we're looking at being a little outcome, or we're looking at opportunities for athletes.

818
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,960
to support the achievement, which is I think why I'm sort of

819
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,780
wide of like that. I've been drawn to that one.

820
01:08:14,950 --> 01:08:16,850
Well, also we do want to do something

821
01:08:16,850 --> 01:08:18,870
to ensure the effort of all the achievement

822
01:08:18,870 --> 01:08:23,750
for all students by supporting faculty.

823
01:08:25,970 --> 01:08:28,730
I don't know how many opportunities we give people.

824
01:08:28,890 --> 01:08:32,230
It doesn't show that all that our kids are all moving forward.

825
01:08:32,810 --> 01:08:34,290
Then I don't care about that.

826
01:08:34,290 --> 01:08:43,730
You know what I'm saying? But if we see that it's not all have the same access to the opportunities I think that's right.

827
01:08:50,730 --> 01:09:02,310
I feel like the first piece in some ways is this idea of evaluating my music in academic programs and as your services to me individual and collective needs.

828
01:09:02,950 --> 01:09:07,330
That's, that to me, is providing those equitable opportunities.

829
01:09:07,630 --> 01:09:08,670
I change our opportunities.

830
01:09:09,670 --> 01:09:12,190
And so in some ways we're almost, there's some redundancy there.

831
01:09:12,710 --> 01:09:15,130
In that, because I feel like that's what we're doing in the first part.

832
01:09:15,690 --> 01:09:20,270
And in the end, the ultimate goal is to ensure equitable achievement for all students.

833
01:09:21,070 --> 01:09:22,890
So I feel like the opportunities are already listed.

834
01:09:23,790 --> 01:09:27,410
You know, the programs that we're creating, the support services that we've developed,

835
01:09:29,670 --> 01:09:35,870
So I feel that that's the, you know, what we're creating is to provide us a couple of opportunities.

836
01:09:36,310 --> 01:09:37,770
So I feel it's already built in.

837
01:09:38,230 --> 01:09:43,850
I see that and I do think it's important that speed opportunities should result in some measurable achievement.

838
01:09:45,110 --> 01:09:51,210
Even though, as you said, they may not necessarily do what they're supposed to do, but our goal is that that's what they're supposed to do.

839
01:09:51,450 --> 01:09:53,190
And that's why that one seems more actionable.

840
01:09:55,030 --> 01:09:56,990
It just clarifies what we're going to make.

841
01:10:03,330 --> 01:10:10,110
Okay, so are we going for a consensus or all-board number one, or do we need to bring this back

842
01:10:10,110 --> 01:10:11,270
and consider it further?

843
01:10:11,530 --> 01:10:12,610
This is just a discussion.

844
01:10:13,910 --> 01:10:13,990
Right.

845
01:10:15,050 --> 01:10:18,710
We can bring it back to the next item, but do we need to do anything in between?

846
01:10:18,710 --> 01:10:20,710
is what I'm saying, I guess, between...

847
01:10:22,310 --> 01:10:22,530
...and now.

848
01:10:23,350 --> 01:10:23,750
No.

849
01:10:24,410 --> 01:10:24,810
Okay.

850
01:10:24,930 --> 01:10:25,290
Is it good?

851
01:10:25,710 --> 01:10:26,510
Is that what this?

852
01:10:26,870 --> 01:10:27,230
So it's good.

853
01:10:27,650 --> 01:10:28,430
And that would be one of the ones.

854
01:10:29,230 --> 01:10:29,750
There are a lot.

855
01:10:30,470 --> 01:10:30,830
All right.

856
01:10:31,170 --> 01:10:31,770
Thank you.

857
01:10:33,150 --> 01:10:34,150
That's kind of a revisit.

858
01:10:34,470 --> 01:10:35,470
It feels like about a month ago.

859
01:10:35,470 --> 01:10:35,950
I know.

860
01:10:36,330 --> 01:10:36,570
I know.

861
01:10:36,770 --> 01:10:37,190
It feels well.

862
01:10:37,510 --> 01:10:39,310
It was part four or five years ago.

863
01:10:39,510 --> 01:10:41,070
So it just feels like it was a month ago.

864
01:10:41,550 --> 01:10:41,650
Okay.

865
01:10:42,350 --> 01:10:42,630
Okay.

866
01:10:43,030 --> 01:10:45,170
Really answer a agenda item.

867
01:10:46,410 --> 01:10:48,030
First off, would anyone like to pull?

868
01:10:48,030 --> 01:10:50,110
any of these consents of the agenda item?

869
01:10:51,030 --> 01:10:54,790
Okay, so do I have a motion to approve consent agenda items

870
01:10:54,790 --> 01:10:57,470
8.01 through 8.22.

871
01:10:58,130 --> 01:10:58,590
So moved.

872
01:10:58,970 --> 01:10:59,250
Okay.

873
01:10:59,710 --> 01:11:00,790
All right, any discussion?

874
01:11:01,790 --> 01:11:04,730
Just, however we found Wisteng Fogg tell corporate

875
01:11:05,650 --> 01:11:07,290
for internship opportunity.

876
01:11:07,950 --> 01:11:08,090
Yeah.

877
01:11:08,310 --> 01:11:09,630
Okay, not even in space?

878
01:11:09,930 --> 01:11:11,430
Yeah, it was like a fantastic idea.

879
01:11:11,430 --> 01:11:14,250
It was like a wonderful opportunity for students

880
01:11:14,250 --> 01:11:15,670
So, way to go on that.

881
01:11:16,150 --> 01:11:16,950
I'm pretty excited.

882
01:11:18,110 --> 01:11:18,490
Okay.

883
01:11:20,230 --> 01:11:20,950
All right.

884
01:11:21,250 --> 01:11:22,030
Then, let's go.

885
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:26,100
Yes.

886
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:27,580
Hi.

887
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:29,300
Hi.

888
01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:31,800
Okay.

889
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:32,300
Let's go straight.

890
01:11:32,540 --> 01:11:32,880
Thank you.

891
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:34,440
Moving on to number nine.

892
01:11:34,540 --> 01:11:36,120
Now, we are at action items.

893
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:37,980
Okay.

894
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:39,140
9.01.

895
01:11:39,460 --> 01:11:41,960
A patient of provisional board member.

896
01:11:42,460 --> 01:11:44,400
Dr. Piazza, do you want to introduce yourself?

897
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:51,260
I'm sure as you're aware that Dr. Bajian relocated her residence, which required her to

898
01:11:51,260 --> 01:12:01,440
resign from the Board of Education, and subsequently the Board chose to appoint a new

899
01:12:01,440 --> 01:12:07,020
board member, rather than go for an election.

900
01:12:07,740 --> 01:12:09,960
I believe a lot of it was financially motivated.

901
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:19,780
$38,000 to run an election, and so you put together a process, and I'll turn that over

902
01:12:19,780 --> 01:12:21,300
to Dr. Calvary.

903
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:25,540
So first off, I just have to say thank you to our community because when we put out

904
01:12:25,540 --> 01:12:30,180
that call for seeking applicants, we honestly weren't sure if we would even receive any

905
01:12:30,180 --> 01:12:34,400
applicants, especially considering the years we've had and some of the long board meetings

906
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:35,080
that we've had.

907
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:40,320
But I'm very grateful to say that our community has always stepped up.

908
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,920
We received a total of 11 applications.

909
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:48,060
Two of them were incomplete, so we then were left with nine.

910
01:12:48,980 --> 01:12:53,740
And we just, you know, we lived through the nine applications and we felt that we really

911
01:12:53,740 --> 01:12:56,440
needed to meet each and every one of the nine applicants.

912
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:04,920
They each brought to us a great wealth of talents and experience and dedication to our

913
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:09,900
schools and plenty of the applicants also even worked in other school districts.

914
01:13:10,860 --> 01:13:15,260
So we were really very pleased to see the caliber of our applicants.

915
01:13:16,140 --> 01:13:19,140
And as I said, we decided to set out and meet all nine people.

916
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:24,820
We wanted it to be, you know, a concession, so we did have two Tuesday evenings here in

917
01:13:24,820 --> 01:13:25,380
the boardroom.

918
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:31,980
And we interviewed on the first Tuesday, five applicants, and on the second Tuesday we interviewed

919
01:13:31,980 --> 01:13:32,540
four.

920
01:13:32,540 --> 01:13:40,480
They were 30-minute reviews and each of the applicants were given the exact same five questions.

921
01:13:40,480 --> 01:13:43,740
One, of course, an introductory question just asking about themselves.

922
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:51,260
Their experience with our schools and why they chose to apply followed by four standard questions from each of us.

923
01:13:51,480 --> 01:13:55,040
And then an opportunity to ask further questions should there be time.

924
01:13:55,820 --> 01:14:01,960
I think that was really important because that really helped us to understand each applicant's perspective

925
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:07,900
on the same question and to understand their knowledge of the district and really why they were running.

926
01:14:08,900 --> 01:14:12,400
So again, a pretty standardized process.

927
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:18,940
And I think we really were very actively engaged in trying to get to know each of our nine applicants.

928
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,780
So great caliber of candidates.

929
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:27,860
And we are tonight with the difficult decision, of course, of choosing under for nine.

930
01:14:28,780 --> 01:14:34,220
So we've all had an opportunity to review their applications, the questions that they

931
01:14:34,220 --> 01:14:36,580
answered that we had posed to them.

932
01:14:37,300 --> 01:14:41,340
And I should also say that everybody was also screened for residency verification to ensure

933
01:14:41,340 --> 01:14:47,420
that they truly reside here in South Pasadena, which of course is a big requirement for serving

934
01:14:47,420 --> 01:14:48,160
for the board.

935
01:14:49,180 --> 01:14:55,360
So at this point, I'd like to see if there is any of you that may want to make a motion towards

936
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:59,460
and anyone of the nine applicants will be refused.

937
01:15:00,140 --> 01:15:06,620
I'd like to make a point of motion to appoint Christchurch Adams as a provisional word moment.

938
01:15:08,060 --> 01:15:14,180
I'll second that motion for the purpose of discussion. Okay, so just to wrap it up, let you start

939
01:15:14,180 --> 01:15:21,740
on to why you are appointing Christchurch Adams. Yeah, I think, you know, to speak to every

940
01:15:21,740 --> 01:15:24,740
At every point we had a tremendous group of candidates,

941
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:30,760
wonderful to meet really a broad cross-section of different

942
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,460
experiences, some, you know, active public school educators,

943
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,340
some retired, some from out of the professional worlds,

944
01:15:38,660 --> 01:15:40,620
different levels of involvement in our schools,

945
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:43,720
in our community, and as we went through this journey,

946
01:15:43,860 --> 01:15:47,020
it was really trying to identify what were those pieces

947
01:15:47,020 --> 01:15:49,280
that would really help serve us at this time.

948
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:56,540
It is a provisional seat, it's a unique opportunity for someone to really have to jump in and get going.

949
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:02,760
And I think while everyone brought a lot to the table, as sort of we had these conversations,

950
01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:06,420
I think it was through our discussion.

951
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:11,660
I felt we really started to learn a lot about HRSA, somewhat we already knew,

952
01:16:11,980 --> 01:16:15,960
but obviously some pieces that were new to us and it really seemed to,

953
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:19,100
for my end, point to that she could dive right in

954
01:16:19,100 --> 01:16:22,220
for a lot of connections and awareness within the schools

955
01:16:22,220 --> 01:16:25,840
and the larger community to help us move forward in our work

956
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,440
and contribute to this conversation

957
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:28,340
that we have as a board.

958
01:16:28,660 --> 01:16:31,960
So that's that process, but again thankful to everyone

959
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,540
who came to provide quite a bit of discussion

960
01:16:36,380 --> 01:16:40,380
around this, but in the end, that's you, Chris.

961
01:16:40,380 --> 01:16:49,600
So, you know, I, too, just want to pick up on Mr. Rob's comments about just what an incredibly

962
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:56,320
talented, smart, thoughtful group of individuals who came to us, willing to volunteer their

963
01:16:56,320 --> 01:17:00,120
time to support the success of our students and our district.

964
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:06,580
And it was really, you know, just an extraordinary pool of candidates, and I want to thank those

965
01:17:06,580 --> 01:17:11,700
was for coming and spending 30 minutes with us, but again, really looking to make that

966
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:14,460
longer term commitment to the district.

967
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:21,280
As I sort of evaluated the different candidates, I was, you know, looking for a couple things,

968
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:26,520
one, how well did they know our schools and the district at this point in time, given

969
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:35,400
that we're really talking about just a little under a year of a term, and I just know, you

970
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:38,200
Remember, for a little while, it's a steep learning curve.

971
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,260
No matter what you've done in the past, whether it's PTA or it's a staff or anything,

972
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:44,380
it's a pretty darn steep learning curve.

973
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:50,700
And so, in a short time frame, so I was really looking for someone who knew us very well

974
01:17:50,700 --> 01:17:55,500
and knew us well enough that it might be a little bit less of a steep learning curve

975
01:17:55,500 --> 01:18:01,820
so they could really sort of jump in and contribute through the course of this year.

976
01:18:01,820 --> 01:18:06,900
So that's sort of the way which I was looking at this candidate.

977
01:18:08,500 --> 01:18:15,280
One of the things that I was extremely pleased about as we interview candidates was that

978
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:19,980
there was something that every one of them said that made us think about things

979
01:18:19,980 --> 01:18:24,360
in a way that has enhanced the process in the future no matter what.

980
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:29,640
And that's a pretty extraordinarily extraordinary thing to say.

981
01:18:30,660 --> 01:18:35,960
There will be an election coming up in November of 2022.

982
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:42,900
And interestingly, sometimes we get no candidates running against an incumbent.

983
01:18:43,860 --> 01:18:45,360
Sometimes we get one or two.

984
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:47,620
We never get nine.

985
01:18:48,500 --> 01:18:52,460
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a broad selection when the time comes?

986
01:18:52,460 --> 01:19:01,300
So we know that we have solid candidates and they should go ahead to their next step too.

987
01:19:03,460 --> 01:19:06,480
I'm going to take a little bit, I guess that.

988
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:13,200
Christa, one thing I really appreciated is that she served as PTA president at the middle school,

989
01:19:13,340 --> 01:19:15,700
I mean, AB, excuse me, or the road VISTA.

990
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:20,580
And she did that during the pandemic and they really did switch over from, you know,

991
01:19:20,580 --> 01:19:36,540
in-person meetings to having virtual meetings and to having so many activities for the kids to bond whether it's virtually or even through some books and things like that that they put together and for the parents to still connect.

992
01:19:36,540 --> 01:19:42,860
And then that, I think, says a lot because it really, when you're a PTA president, especially

993
01:19:42,860 --> 01:19:50,060
the elementary school and that's the hardest PTA's role to have and to be able to interface

994
01:19:50,060 --> 01:19:53,100
with the teachers and the staff and the parents and the students.

995
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,740
And I think that she's always had a really positive attitude every time I've ever seen her

996
01:19:57,740 --> 01:19:58,840
as any of those PTA meetings.

997
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,440
She's really been very supportive of everything that goes on on campus.

998
01:20:02,440 --> 01:20:05,840
And then she also serves currently in the Council of PTA Presidents.

999
01:20:06,480 --> 01:20:08,860
And I serve just Council of PTA Presidents.

1000
01:20:09,020 --> 01:20:12,900
And I think it's a really important role because you get to know all five of our schools.

1001
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:17,860
When you're the Council of PTA Presidents, you're mentoring all five units.

1002
01:20:18,340 --> 01:20:21,920
And you're also interfacing your higher level of PTA with first district PTA

1003
01:20:22,440 --> 01:20:25,840
and getting more involved with coming down from the California State PTA.

1004
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:30,980
So I think having that breadth of experience and knowledge of our five schools

1005
01:20:30,980 --> 01:20:35,200
was an important thing for me having children in our school currently was an

1006
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:40,900
important thing for me having an attitude of really just volunteering and always

1007
01:20:40,900 --> 01:20:44,120
being ready to do something. I think she shared with us that she's one of the

1008
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:51,260
commissioners of the Little League, softball and so much that she's with the

1009
01:20:51,260 --> 01:20:56,440
boosters and other things that she's been involved with. I feel like sort of

1010
01:20:56,440 --> 01:21:02,000
to represent for me the spirit of what a true path to being a volunteer is, and as you

1011
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,460
were saying that to keep you having to step in, you really have to be at a place where

1012
01:21:05,460 --> 01:21:07,600
you've heard a lot about what's going on with the district.

1013
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:13,780
And being PTA president and being council, PTA president, you really have access to having

1014
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:18,720
the site administrators and the district administrators being there and introducing with you and understanding

1015
01:21:19,300 --> 01:21:25,940
how things are done on our campuses, so I thought that was important as well, so I will say

1016
01:21:25,940 --> 01:21:27,080
without a doubt, Krista.

1017
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,120
Is there any further discussion?

1018
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,380
I would just say that sitting right beside that,

1019
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:35,200
having wonderful, good hands-on knowledge

1020
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:39,040
of our school district, another piece of what I heard

1021
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:43,380
when there was a scope was for that ground that

1022
01:21:43,380 --> 01:21:45,920
isn't just the local school environment,

1023
01:21:46,180 --> 01:21:48,640
that more than that can bring and hide

1024
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:53,900
to the whole in ways that consider the larger

1025
01:21:53,900 --> 01:21:58,680
and energy of education, which I think is often what we'll call the obligatory

1026
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:03,400
support members for our own desires as in the district and context of the whole.

1027
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,040
And that is part of the steep learning curve.

1028
01:22:07,700 --> 01:22:09,360
Yeah, that's a good point.

1029
01:22:11,180 --> 01:22:19,400
And as you said, we do have an election in November of 2022, and not only in the election,

1030
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,440
but it will be the first time we will be in the election,

1031
01:22:22,660 --> 01:22:23,800
like a white district.

1032
01:22:24,220 --> 01:22:27,620
So we will take you to the big candidate spread out

1033
01:22:27,620 --> 01:22:30,380
throughout the city to be able to run in that.

1034
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,280
So we have the motion.

1035
01:22:34,440 --> 01:22:35,020
We have a second.

1036
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:36,340
Is there any further discussion?

1037
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:39,720
All right, so I'm just going to go.

1038
01:22:40,540 --> 01:22:41,380
Excuse me for a minute.

1039
01:22:44,420 --> 01:22:44,900
Yes.

1040
01:22:45,460 --> 01:22:45,740
I'm sorry.

1041
01:22:46,220 --> 01:22:46,500
Hi.

1042
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:48,640
Okay,

1043
01:22:51,510 --> 01:22:58,130
motion carries, and it will be the next board meeting that Christophe Adams will be joining us.

1044
01:22:58,890 --> 01:23:01,130
Yeah, we'll swear her in beforehand.

1045
01:23:02,270 --> 01:23:09,090
And then she'll take over Dr. Suziobaji and Marango and her special education committee for me.

1046
01:23:09,350 --> 01:23:15,330
There will be plenty of things for her to do, though, of course, we'll be happy to mentor her along the way.

1047
01:23:15,330 --> 01:23:21,950
Okay, 9.02 new and improved board policy.

1048
01:23:23,030 --> 01:23:28,910
Yeah, these series of policies came to you with the last meeting as a discussion of first

1049
01:23:28,910 --> 01:23:29,270
reading.

1050
01:23:29,650 --> 01:23:31,370
So they're here for your approval.

1051
01:23:31,550 --> 01:23:36,730
I do want to make a notation that the transitional kindergarten policy, though, was prior to the

1052
01:23:36,730 --> 01:23:38,270
law that came out.

1053
01:23:38,270 --> 01:23:45,610
So, they'll anticipate additional changes coming out in the winter or spring of this next

1054
01:23:45,610 --> 01:23:46,090
year.

1055
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:54,100
Are they asking Stan now or in advance with what is current, is that correct?

1056
01:23:54,340 --> 01:23:54,600
Correct.

1057
01:23:56,100 --> 01:23:57,220
The motion took proof.

1058
01:23:58,320 --> 01:23:58,700
Okay.

1059
01:23:59,180 --> 01:23:59,720
Do I have to check it?

1060
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:01,980
Do I have any discussion?

1061
01:24:04,260 --> 01:24:04,500
Okay.

1062
01:24:04,660 --> 01:24:05,460
All those in favor?

1063
01:24:05,740 --> 01:24:05,880
All right.

1064
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:06,380
This is me.

1065
01:24:06,580 --> 01:24:07,920
I'm just going to close that short.

1066
01:24:08,100 --> 01:24:08,340
All right.

1067
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:08,840
I'm taking over.

1068
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:10,400
I'm looking at you and I'm just taking over.

1069
01:24:10,660 --> 01:24:11,200
I'm sorry.

1070
01:24:29,060 --> 01:24:29,540
Yes,

1071
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:36,260
this is the first of three resolutions, I am asked for the board approval on.

1072
01:24:36,440 --> 01:24:42,440
The first is for a Roya Vista, this involves our construction projects and the California Environmental

1073
01:24:42,440 --> 01:24:49,180
quality at governs portions of our construction projects and these projects are sets that

1074
01:24:49,180 --> 01:24:54,320
they are our exemptions so that we do not have to go through the entire SQL process.

1075
01:24:55,060 --> 01:25:00,360
And so what this resolution does is it lays out the three areas that we are exempt from

1076
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:01,280
the SQL process.

1077
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:09,060
They are less than, kind of less than 25% capacity, we're replacing structures that are substantially

1078
01:25:09,060 --> 01:25:15,200
have the same purpose and the activities in question do not have a significant

1079
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:18,900
effect on the environment. So there's one replacement of each of the portable

1080
01:25:18,900 --> 01:25:23,460
classrooms with one-to-one replacement. Correct. Even even though in a couple of

1081
01:25:23,460 --> 01:25:27,700
places we're doing more than one-to-one it's still much less than 25%. So we

1082
01:25:27,700 --> 01:25:31,000
call it hard for these exemptions and the first one is the resolution for

1083
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:31,640
or a Royal VISTA.

1084
01:25:32,460 --> 01:25:32,740
Okay.

1085
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:33,520
You'll have a motion.

1086
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:35,360
So a little bit?

1087
01:25:35,820 --> 01:25:36,120
Sure.

1088
01:25:36,700 --> 01:25:37,140
Okay.

1089
01:25:37,340 --> 01:25:37,540
Great.

1090
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:38,080
Any discussion?

1091
01:25:39,440 --> 01:25:39,740
Sure.

1092
01:25:43,090 --> 01:25:43,530
Yes.

1093
01:25:44,490 --> 01:25:44,890
Hi.

1094
01:25:45,950 --> 01:25:46,390
Hi.

1095
01:25:47,190 --> 01:25:47,630
Hi.

1096
01:25:48,150 --> 01:25:48,590
Okay.

1097
01:25:48,610 --> 01:25:49,170
Motion carries.

1098
01:25:49,390 --> 01:25:50,310
And then 9.04.

1099
01:25:50,850 --> 01:25:51,030
Same.

1100
01:25:51,310 --> 01:25:51,590
Maringo.

1101
01:25:52,110 --> 01:25:53,070
Same thing.

1102
01:25:53,210 --> 01:25:56,970
The only thing that I would add that I forgot to mention was that this is also one of the checkboxes

1103
01:25:56,970 --> 01:25:58,730
for the Prop 51 process.

1104
01:25:58,730 --> 01:26:03,470
us. So later on, if we ever actually get those vat buses by money years for

1105
01:26:03,470 --> 01:26:08,410
now, this is a component of that process as well. So this one is for Maranko seeking your

1106
01:26:08,410 --> 01:26:08,870
approval.

1107
01:26:11,010 --> 01:26:12,410
Do I have a motion?

1108
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:13,610
First and to approve.

1109
01:26:14,390 --> 01:26:14,770
Do I have a second?

1110
01:26:16,250 --> 01:26:17,710
Okay, great. Any further discussion?

1111
01:26:18,210 --> 01:26:19,710
Do you think we will, Overseasers?

1112
01:26:22,190 --> 01:26:22,630
Funds?

1113
01:26:23,590 --> 01:26:28,610
Not out of prop 51. I think maybe if there's another state,

1114
01:26:28,610 --> 01:26:30,270
It puts us in line.

1115
01:26:30,550 --> 01:26:31,470
Yeah, it'll still be.

1116
01:26:31,830 --> 01:26:34,590
We have skills in line for other positions that we've taken.

1117
01:26:35,050 --> 01:26:36,510
So, I think we're in line.

1118
01:26:36,930 --> 01:26:38,870
Because we're still online too.

1119
01:26:40,150 --> 01:26:40,410
Okay.

1120
01:26:40,970 --> 01:26:41,610
Ms. Kell.

1121
01:26:45,230 --> 01:26:45,790
Yes.

1122
01:26:46,570 --> 01:26:46,930
Hi.

1123
01:26:48,150 --> 01:26:48,710
Hi.

1124
01:26:49,850 --> 01:26:50,010
Hi.

1125
01:26:50,850 --> 01:26:51,410
Hi.

1126
01:26:51,410 --> 01:26:51,450
Okay.

1127
01:26:51,510 --> 01:26:51,970
Motion carries.

1128
01:26:52,170 --> 01:26:52,610
9.05.

1129
01:26:53,730 --> 01:26:54,970
Resolution for Monterrey Hills.

1130
01:26:54,970 --> 01:26:56,350
People I know that's an exemption.

1131
01:26:56,350 --> 01:26:59,610
Yes, same exact resolution, just a different site.

1132
01:26:59,990 --> 01:27:00,710
Motion to approve.

1133
01:27:03,140 --> 01:27:03,240
Second.

1134
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:04,240
Second.

1135
01:27:04,860 --> 01:27:05,220
Excellent.

1136
01:27:05,540 --> 01:27:06,320
Any further discussion?

1137
01:27:07,500 --> 01:27:08,160
And Michelle.

1138
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:11,440
Yes.

1139
01:27:12,900 --> 01:27:13,140
Hi.

1140
01:27:14,780 --> 01:27:15,180
Hi.

1141
01:27:17,480 --> 01:27:18,020
Okay, great.

1142
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:19,260
So this question also carries.

1143
01:27:19,380 --> 01:27:21,200
That takes us to the end of the action items.

1144
01:27:21,420 --> 01:27:22,640
We are now at section 10.

1145
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,460
The discussion of items for next or future board meetings.

1146
01:27:27,140 --> 01:27:36,780
You have two items in the next board, meaning that a quite significant one is the maps for the districts.

1147
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:39,900
You know, as soon as we get them, we'll release them to the public.

1148
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:46,440
And then they'll be on the board agenda for your discussion and as well as a public hearing.

1149
01:27:46,940 --> 01:27:51,840
And then the second we'll have all our principals back again to present the school plans.

1150
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:52,740
Okay,

1151
01:27:55,300 --> 01:27:56,480
sounds like a full meeting.

1152
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,700
It's gonna be a long meeting.

1153
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:00,880
Yeah, okay. Any other?

1154
01:28:02,740 --> 01:28:06,640
Alright, well then, I will go ahead and return the meeting and thank you.
