We should bring back programs that help youth because the district has shut down schools and needed programs. collaborate with us to have the same resources that as they as other youth in San Jose have. Thank you. [Applause] Okay. Hello, my name is Stephanie Arnandez and I am 14 years old. I'm a member of SOS Mayer Hoves Activos. My vision for when we open Masca is to have all youth feel welcome. I want a place where I can feel get away from all the stress that I am feeling from all the bad things that are in our community. And I want a place where I can make friends through sports or any hobbies that we share. And I know that I may have a lot of dreams, but this is a dream that I know that I will be able to accomplish with your help. So, I'm here to ask the board to work with us in all the hard times and dream with us of Moscow.
All right, our goals, our LCAP goals. These are these are our new LCAP goals that are guiding our work this year and for the next uh two additional years. So a total of three years. Um for those of you that were part of this process last year, if you recall, um we reflected on our LCAP goals from the last three years, right? We for lack of a better terms, our old LCAP goals. Um, and we we uh we provided some input on on how we would like to see them um you know continue to to change and evolve so that they're they continue to align better to our vision, mission, and core values and our framework. Um so here are the three new LCAP goals that have guided our work this year and will continue to guide our work for the next two years. Again, this is for for a period of three years.
So, if we have trees coming down in the historic district that are not diseased, which we don't know, we don't have the detail, they're not pulling permits. Um, so there is some there is appears to be a gap there and that's why that was put in there. All right. And I appear to have uh clicked on all of the comments that are in here. Um if anybody would like me to go back to any of them, please let me know. John Mki, Commissioner Mki, thank you. Um I don't think that we mentioned um the following when we discussed this in the first first reading of this resolution. Um and that is that the idea of incorporating natural features in the comprehensive plan was due in part to the fact that the United Kingdom has passed legislation. Um so it applies to the entire United Kingdom.
So if there is a immediate concern and someone reaches out through the app, a student reaches out, they get immediate support. So asking for approval for theou so we can begin that process of onboarding the program for next school year. I've got a motion. I've got a second by Mayor Lynn.
I I don't think it was less. It was less than that. So I think it was similar. Yeah, it was um a corner and then the previous developer it was calling it commercial to be some of their amenity space of Right. So it might look that way but the actual commercial I think was 7500 and it was in a corner that's not changing it. That's our intention. So it's it's currently in the corner. I can't speak to exact square footages but it it's uh so if you imagine from going uh from uh the Shaw's side of the building uh to the left you have lobby amenities. Yeah, I think that's I mean that's definitely was a part of that whole design and the wounder kind of bringing the community all the way down like you said it's our commercial corridor. Yeah. Um and Ashland and the state has vested a lot into the commercial part of the corridor, right?
So this setup is much too big for her. So we found a smaller form factor mini PC that's just as powerful that has a monitor so that the kids can still work without all of this in the way. So that was slightly um less expensive. So it just kind of worked out in our favor. And then we're like all the monitors and all the teacher desktop stuff. are in in good shape and now we put their connection. So, you're very careful about where we need our replacements. With the computers we have now, you don't just put Windows 11 on those ones. Or you could, but it wouldn't be worth the time and money because we need new ones anyway. Yeah, that was fun. They Microsoft announced that in the early 2004 20ou 2023 and um we were like, "Oh, great." And then notice was able to deploy some software so he knew the exact age of every device.
And I know we need time so that we will be able to meet again and continue this conversation. So, please work with us and understand us. Thank you. Hi, my name is Selia Placencia and I'm 15 years old. While Maxa is for all the Eastside families, that building's main focus would be for youth like me. Why does that matter? Teenagers and pre-teens have a bad reputation for being some of the meanest people. I admit some of the reason why is because of different parenting skills, but it's also because of a lack of resources and they act out as a way to express and protect themselves. Places like MXA show them that they are cared for and inspired the creativity. Please, please, please listen to my community and continue believing in the change that we can make happen. Thank you. My name is Fernando Ramirez. I'm a middle school student here in San Jose.
Um and as we reflect on these goals, we hope that what resonates with you is that convergence between um our vision, our mission, our core values, our framework um and and the LCAP um as to help fulfill these goals and all the work that's happening not only here at the district level but back at our sites to to support all students, but in particular those at the margins, right? our um all of our our dy identified students, our sped, our English language learners, our foster youth um um you know um and and all of those that are low income, right? We have the journey that we took over the past three months going back to January the 21st that launched um ALCAP season. We had our first um our our parent workshop back on the 21st. Again, going back to OKO and the support that they provide.
um for the next 30 years that all new development um for uh large sites as well as um small sites of a specific size must increase or maintain or must increase let's see I'll read you a summary um of the the um of the uh legislation the environment act 2021 in the UK mandates a biodiversity net gain requirement for new developments. This means developers must ensure that after a project biodiversity values are at least 10% higher than before the development. This is achieved through a combination of on-site and off-site habitat enhancements or by purch purchasing statutory biodiversity credits if necessary. The biodiversity net gain is legally secured for at least 30 years. Um there is also a um legal enforcement requirement and um the metric uses something called the defa biioiversity metric 4.0 to actually assess biodiversity values. And so what we're what we're thinking here is not that we take a wholesale uh uh adoption of what the UK has done, but what we're simply saying is that if the entire United Kingdom, including, you know, larger cities like London, mid-size cities like Ann Arbor and rural areas can mandate a an increase in biodiversity, then at least we should be with our master plan recognizing the values um and the contributions of biodiversity and natural features um here in the city of Ann Arbor.
Is there any discussion? All those in favor? Seven. Um, next under rule business, we have a resolution for some property. Yes. I'm asking board of approval for the resolution to purchase real estate across from the Hayden Elementary. Uh, this property would help alleviate some of the parking lot issue from a parent pickup standpoint, the safety involved with that. that it would open that up a little bit if we could put cars there, just regular parking there and then be able to make that flow better. So, I have a motion by Travis. Do I have a second? Second. Second by Cheryl.
And you know, everyone's gung-ho on the housing, but we're also looking for some other some other options, you know, in there, right? So, um, I just looked at the decision and the number is 6,800 square feet for the commercial because in my head there were like two entrances that we talked about for retail and signage locations. So, it was just not the corner, but also the other side where talked about parking and loading and things like that. So, um, so 6,800 is what we said. Yeah. Yeah. So, keeping it on the wounder we think is important. That's that's I think the uh we we like that. It's a great great feature to the building. Um parking is also not changing. We Yeah. No change to parking. Yeah. I think it's important to understand, you know, I'm Yeah, I think it's great for anyone to start to look for more than 25% and those deeper discounts.
So we could get pretty granular and replace all what absolutely had to be replaced. How long when did Windows 10 come out? Like what like five, eight, 10 years. If you remember correctly, like you can't run a PC that's running Windows XP anymore, which is I think like 10 times. Oh, okay. Right. So if that's not going to run anything, it won't get any updates. It you won't be able to run most software because the software starts to uh outstrip the operating system, you know, and as Cassal said, it leaves us vulnerable. Um it leaves our network vulnerable. We can't add those packages and security updates. So these were bought about five years ago and they Windows 10 was original to them. Yes, they're I think they're actually a little bit older. They were six. We were hoping they were going to release seven. That was the original.
For almost 10 years, MAXA has been closed. It used to be a place where people could go do sports and extracurricular activities, but now sadly, it's closed. If you accept if you accept SOS Mayfair and give them two more months, think of what the students in the area could be doing like basketball and soccer instead of doing nothing at home. Thank you. Um, hello. My name is Cynthia Fernandez Castro. I'm 16 years old. I'm a member of the Hispanic community. And my vision for when Masca opens is that communities get unified and it creates a second home and take it as someone who has to switch to another school that I used to call my second home that I have to find another place where I don't feel stressed out and I'm not alone and I have to like just feel like I belong. So you your kids, nieces, grandchildren can escape toxic environments with Masca's help making them feel like they belong and they're not alone.
Uh on that evening, they they hosted our our parents across the district and did a parent orientation. Um a a couple of nights later, it was uh our student workshop that was hosted by again our our our group of ambassadors. Um and then we kicked off our first official LCAP season or LCAP gathering on February the 6th. And now we're here on the 24th, right? Five sessions later, three months later, um here we are. Um so, so as we reflect on on our journey for the past three months, um let's continue to to think about how do we continue to that improvement, right? That we're we're always going to aim for perfection. And we know we won't get there, but that hard work, that intentional work of creating that cohesion by uh with all of the things that we have in place to ensure that we're doing the best job that we can to support our students and families and our staff back at the sites.
That was the first comment I had. Um I encourage people to to look that up to see um more what the UK has done. Um the second comment um I have is with regards to um this statement about the A20 um living carbon neutrality plan. Um just a few comments there. the plan already recognizes the carbon sequestration value of trees. Um that's why we have an action in the plan um calling for um the planting of 10,000 trees and it's my understanding that that program under Shawn has been wildly successful and we've already met that target. Um what we I think as a biodiversity team recognize is that it's not just new trees that contribute to sequestration. Indeed, it's older trees that contribute them the greatest amounts to sequestration. We also achieve sequestration through soils um through flood planes and um and um wetland areas um in and in and many other ways associated with natural features.
Any discussion? All those in favor? 70. Next, we'll move down under new business. We have some Neiola policies. Uh this is a first reading on a group of Nola policies that are all involved with AI use in the classroom. And so, as AI is becoming more common society. We need some policies to match its use and what's appropriate and what's not.
I know that it's hard to do, right? Um, so I think we all appreciate that. I think it's um just also an understanding, you know, you guys probably know a little bit about Ashlin now and that we have a lot going on in terms of housing right now. A little bit more. As much as we know the state needs housing, the area needs housing, housing is too expensive. As much as we all know and understand that and sympathize with that, we also have 240BS simultaneously before our zoning board of appeals. We have other big projects coming online and we just we have a lot little Ashland has a lot of on our plate right now. So, we did spend a lot of time on this project and it it was a little bit like kind of waiting for it to happen, you know, especially with all the new, you know, like said the wound the design elements we had we had put into it.
Okay. Generally, a desktop's life should be about seven years because it doesn't it's not like a laptop. If something happens to the keyboard, you replace the keyboard. It's easier to take apart our air. They don't have to you don't have to replace the entire thing. So, they're very easy to repair. They're easy to extend our longevity. It's just this was a critical update that we weren't really planning on.
So, I'm here to ask the board meeting to accept the proposal and for more time so we can all dream. Thank you for your time. [Applause] Good evening, board of trustees, uh, superintendent. My name is Peter Ortiz. I have the honor of representing East Side San Jose on the San Jose City Council. First, I just want to thank uh, this board for the work you do day in and day out advocating and caring for uh, the youth of East San Jose. Uh, I also want to thank you and acknowledge the votes this board has also already taken, right, to allow the community the opportunity to plan and begin dreaming about what I feel is one of the best opportunities that have come to our east side for many years, which is the restoration of the Moxa building. Given the major investments that are already starting to come into the Mayfair community, whether that's through the CI P collective or the city through these uh youth and children master plan, uh I see this site, the Moxa site, as another uh channel for bringing in philanthropic dollars uh and government services to our most vulnerable residents.
We also have a reminder here of what you know what is um what is our engagement process. So it's about building consensus right it's it's it's it comes down to building consensus on what on what we think is important as a community right what we think is important to help improve or increase services for our students. Um these actions or services are recommendations. Um the recommendations that will help establish our priorities for our district for this coming year. um it's these actions and services in the LCAP do not take the place of our ne negotiations or bargaining process but they are again recommendations right and and and so we hope that at the end of this night um and heading into our our June board meeting where we were present our our alcap to our board for approval is that we we're going to see the collective work of everyone's um um uh thoughts and ideas and and and uh suggestions in this document again for the purpose of supporting our students and our families back at the sites.
