So, I just want to make that um a point and then just to say thank you for all of that. Mr. Thank you. And I was going to wait but I I can I was going to say something else but I'll wait until Miss Miguel. No. Oh, okay. The No, I I feel very fortunate with every single community that we have visited that they have welcomed us with open arms. Um it's been fun. Uh and it's been great. Um I you know that I was welcome um either one or all five. You're all welcome to join us in any crusade or any endeavor. Um I want to highlight continue to highlight. I like the statement that you said. We are coming together and we are preparing. Um it I want to clarify to the community or anyone listening. Um we're not giving or misleading the community that the BIE schools are closing.
And so this has been a way to kind of model that. And it's had its I I think our leaders would indicate that it's had its successes and challenges, but it has definitely opened up greater opportunity for that professional community to come together and support each other in the effort. Any other comments or questions? All right.
In the event that something happens, we don't want the community to be unprepared um or that we do not have a plan. We will supplement and strengthen any plan that is already out there. And I thank you all for your support. uh for your encouragement and continue to plan. Um whether we use this plan or not um I feel um already um more prepared having to on knowing that we have your support and with the feedback and additional support that you giving me and direction that you giving me so we can have a much stronger plan. I would just say it would go right right in that whole list of things that we did when CO came. We created I would say go right in that whole big book a list of things we did when co happened. You know there was things that needed to happen and we create we created an entire plan put this in there too just in case.
Hearing none, I am so happy to see these results. And with that, I move the governing board adopt the Crane SOFG guardrail to park. Sorry, we we've got one more. I'm so sorry. You're right. One more. And I And I'm pretty sure you want us to cover this. I'm so sorry. I was ready to let it happen, but I'm like, there is more. There is more. U our second interim measure for this goal is that the district's access equity and inclusion work will focus on anti-racist practices increasing from zero standardized trainings to one provided training by the end of June. So we've outlined our work that has done has been done so far. Uh we worked with community council. uh our committee worked to establish um proposals for services and we really explored a lot of of various options. Um and at the end of the day the the request for proposals process was cancelled because there was really so many different ways to take this work.
FYI here we have we're ready. Um but I agree. I think that that definitely very um good that and to me if I were a parent hearing anyone having these types of discussions I would feel a little bit more better. Um but I did um to to I think either Miss Anna Miss Anna or um Miss Vance's comments um I know you're hosting a job fair this Friday writing. I think it's a really good idea to maybe host one on the west. Absolutely. Try and find some space. There there are communal spaces and I think traveling equal is one of them. Um but I would also say reach out to the districts because maybe they would just maybe they would help with a tent or something. Um there's there's some opportunities. there's some there's some support and you know that you know you have you know you have their support because I've heard them speak up about what we're doing and thank you for for some like just as a woman said so I think be really good to see those things and again it's not because we want to be you know like you just said we're not trying to say anything's going to happen but hey if you're looking for some place to work we have Here's what we do.
it became almost impossible for one or several entities even to capture all of the elements that were in the scope of the the scope of work. So we we have chosen instead to provide a this year's training with a com a local entity who is going to support our teachers and our staff in three round three training sessions of one hour each held between April 23rd and May 7th. So our our we're currently working with that entity to shore up the content to ensure that it aligns with our the intended outcomes of this interim measure and we are on track to reach this interim measure by uh by the end of by the middle of May this year. Thank you for explaining that because I thought I went to a meeting and affirmed our board's commitment to something and then thought it disappeared and I was like, I know they ain't trying to make me look like a fool here.
Um, so any other last last questions or comments for Mr. Diaz or anyone else have any do you guys have any questions or concerns or comments? Good. Mr. Ben. Yeah, I want to thank uh Mr. Miles, thank you for representing transportation. Thank you Dr. Pedigrew for being here representing special services. And thank you Miss Val also uh virtually to join us. Um and thank you everyone that helped me put together this plan. I could not have done this by myself. There are no other questions. Is there a motion to motion by Miss Kathleen Vance, second by Miss Sylvia Hendricks? All right, we are journed. It's uh 654.
No. So, I appreciate you explaining that. No, quite quite honestly the the commitment is very strong and the and because the commitment is strong, it's important that the pro that the work be done with great intentionality and I'd like to just give thanks to that committee because they they really worked hard to get that RFP on the street and then when there was recognition that it may not have been giving the result that was desired, they worked equally as hard to come up with, you know, an alternative solution based on a partner that they were very confident could provide, you know, what they had heard in the board's guidance and what they had determined as families was needed. And so, um, I I I've got to give a lot of credit to them for their tenacity, but I also want to give a lot of credit, um, to Miss Wizolic, who was on that team and really tried to help keep things moving forward, and to Dr.
Dupin who has put in ridiculous amounts of overtime working with both that team and with the partner that they preferred to do this work with us for this year um to try to ensure that we could manage to accomplish it before the school year was and that was the other thing I wanted to mention was the ability to still pull something together to get something done which I would assume is going to be still impactful intentional and quality I I hope and I assume is we we believe that to be the case or we would not move forward with it. And of course, as with everything we've talked about tonight and we'll continue to talk about one of the things we'll be doing is assessing the impact and the and the quality and that will then inform the work we do in the subsequent year to continue that work because the intention isn't a one and done.
This is just phase one of moving forward with additional work. So in terms of what is working for this guardrail overall, we definitely see the increase in the curriculum use in all of those attributes at both dual language immersion schools. Um our coaches are unit planning with teachers to meet the rigor of the standard and the modified uh calendar approach that Dr. Pombo described. Um, we have we did hold hold one anti-racism orientation event back in the fall for community council and a plan is in place to provide staff with training pri prior to year's end. Uh, what needs more attention? Curriculum resources are still an issue in the dual language environments. Um, planning and instruction is definitely improving with coaching support, but there's still a lot of work to meet the level of rigor of the standard for all students. and and you know, we're all we're continuously um working to evaluate having appropriate Spanish language resources in the necessary content areas and Spanish language expertise among the coaches and staff so that teachers can, you know, not only have access to good tools to use with the kids, but also so they can have the support they need to understand the standards in Spanish, to teach the standards in Spanish.
that's it's teaching is hard anyway and then when you're trying to apply a second language to it it ups the the the challenge uh in some cases considerably. So we're we're mindful of that and we know that that needs more attention. we can do that. Um and then uh regarding interim measure two, creating the time for meaningful student support and inclusive practices training at all levels is challenging, but we have gotten uh and again with the support of our principles dedicated time between now and the end of the year to to hold those trainings with our our partner. And that concludes our progress monitoring report for the Squad Rail. Thank you. Um the only question that I do have is because I do see um I was pulling up our our calendar because in this last portion it says creating time for more meaningful Oops, am I on the wrong one?
Um you're on the very last right there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It says that it's going to have a substantial impact on next year's professional development plan. I don't believe we see this guard rail until after new teacher orientation or all that stuff happens. So, my question to you is what strategies or we will the board know some of those strategies on leading up to it since we don't see the scard row. Again, what I don't want to happen is these this these words live in this progress monitoring report and then a new employee orientation or next year comes and we still haven't done anything. So, I just want to add some teeth to or how that looks like or if we'll have an update before, you know, June or July of new orientation happens. What does that look like? Yeah, I I So, I'm going to say a couple of things and gonna ask the team to bail me out if I if I wander off too far into the woods here, but um with our guard rails, we typically do two progress reports, and this is the second one.
So, as things stand now, there's not an intention to have another progress report on this guard rail. Um, but that doesn't mean that we can't come back prior to new teacher orientation to share some of the work that's going to happen in our new teacher orientation. And given how hard this team works on that orientation, I think they'd be very happy to share the work that's being that you know that will be put into it. Um, I don't know if we will have everything. One of the challenges we have is we have the two meetings in June and then that takes place in July and a lot of the work for that will happen between the second week of June and into the month of July. So what we could try to do is schedule something for the second board meeting in June or even if it's in a board update.
Sorry. And it didn't even mean to interrupt. But even if it's just a board update, I just don't want us to leave things in needs more attention and then we never get a followup on what implementations or what strategies happen to make sure we get out of this space. And then just in the interest of complete transparency. So, you know, one of the things that's that's interesting about the student outcomes focused governance work and particularly the interim measures is the annual targets will remain the same, but we will be submitting new interim measures to the board and my intention is to have those new inter interim measure recommendations developed collaboratively with our principles and directors. So it's not just a couple of us sitting in a room and and putting this together. And that work will take place the first I think it's the first week of June.
First week of June. Yeah. So um so we've moved up our summer leadership work in order to be able to make sure that we can get those interim measures at least the recommendations of them ready to go that first week of June. That way the board can have them before our our final meeting for the fiscal year is completed. So it is possible that this interim measure will stay the same or similar. It is also possible based on the conversations that we have as a team that it could change. And I just don't I don't know what that will be at that point. But regardless of whether it stays the same or changes, there's nothing preventing us from making sure that we continue to update the board on the work as it progresses. So perfect. Thank you for that. We're we're one of the thing one of the tools that we have one of the inputs I that should have been referenced here actually in retrospect is the fact that when we started this work we did not have an an office of student support and inclusive practices.
we now have that we have uh support coaches um on board and so now there's a team that's moving this work beyond so there's going to be a lot of detail to add and um Dr. Burgess I want to give a lot of credit to. She even as she is fully invested in helping Li Melinda finish strong. She's been fully at the table through the RFP. She kind of came in midway through that and then through all the planning work that's leading to wrapping up this year and moving into next year. So there's a a thread of continuity that's going to provide the support um that the board is is requiring for staff. Okay. I appreciate that explanation. Thank you. Okay. Now, any other comments or questions regarding guard rail to progress monitoring report? Uh, yes. With the Dr. Dupin, the anti-racism training, the entity that was chosen, I'm happy to hear that it's someone locally based or an entity locally based.
I think I'm hopeful that'll bring in more community support, but uh why are we not naming the entity right now? Is it we're finalizing something or um the person that the team we're going to work with is the urban connection project. Oh, thank you. Any other questions or comments? All right.
Hearing none. Um hearing none. With that, now I will move the governing board approve Kraton SOFG guardrail 2 progress monitoring report two. Second. All those in favor? I. I. Any nays?
Hearing none, progress um monitoring report two passes. That brings us to our guard rail 4 report two. So guardrail 4 report guardrail 4 is about focuses on the superintendent shall not allow adult convenience or preference to take priority over the academic progress of students. For this guardrail, we have two interim measures. These interim measures focus broadly on the uh learning walk data from across the district in uh a couple of very specific areas that you've heard us discuss learning targets and success criteria. So the the inter measure 4.1 is that the percent of observed lessons that reflect a score of three or greater on the learning walk rubric for learning targets will increase from 26% in March of 2024 to 34% this year. Inner measure 4.2 two is that success criteria at a three or higher will increase from 12% in March of 24 to 20% in March of 25.
Okay. So, um I know you just read this, but I'm going to say it again. The percent of observed lessons that reflect a score of three or greater on the learning walk rubric for learning targets will increase from 26% in March of 2024 to 34% in March of 2025. Um overall the percentage of lessons that were observed during learning walks and reached the level of three or higher for learning targets increased 8% districtwide from quarter 1 to quarter 3. And by the end of quarter three, 45% of the observed lessons reached a three or higher, exceeding the interim measure. Um, so at the top of that graph, I put what our goal was, which was 34%, but we all had 45% um meet that interim measure where we had learning targets at a three or higher. And like we shared before, to be to show growth or um show to improve student outcomes, we need to be at 80%.
