It's amazing and if um if you haven't had a chance to spend time at all, I highly recommend it. Uh you get to see some very beautiful, amazing magic that they work over there. There was a qu Sorry, my question mark just went off again. I've got enough years in this district that I remember when our whole Alad program was out where charter school was that on 12th. Yeah. And this was a dream, you know, for the staff and everyone that were working toward making it impossible, well, not impossible, but making it difficult for our students to fail. years we've spent getting here. It was it was good years spent with the right end goal identified for what we wanted to do. I I just this is just so amazingly um I like it. Yeah, it we've come a long way, but thank goodness. I agree.
Um, there was a question from our school board with regards to keeping track of students once they graduate. I do want to let you all know that, uh, two weeks ago, uh, Chico Unified School District went into contract with the California College guidance initiative, which is part of Bedco that we actually do go into contract. So we did um but what that pro or platform does is every single student uh 12th grader it actually begins during it's going to also be affect our middle schools but they start planning their college careers if you will andor trade schools early on and that includes all of California um jun uh jo uh junior colleges of course our state colleges and our uh universities and so to include um what it will do is keep track of the students uh for up to four years. Um and so and also we'll keep track of FAFSA as you do know uh keeping track of FAFSA is now part of ED code as well and we'll be uh able to do that with that platform.
So just wanted to throw that out there and thank you all. Thank you very much both for the presentation and for the hard work that you guys do every day. Appreciate it. Um this is anformational only item. There is no action from the board needed. Is there any comment from the public about the presentation we've just seen? Uh seeing none, I think could use a break, but I also know that we have students who have been waiting um very patiently. and thank you for that to speak. So, I'd love to get on to the next item on our calendar, which is um anformational item regarding the results from the High School of Athletic Sustainability and CIF survey results. So, Mr. Caldera, welcome back. Long time no see. It's been a while. I do I get the the privilege uh to be able to share uh information tonight about our athletics at the high school level.
So I'm I'm actually pretty excited to share this with you. Um and I will be going over this with you. Uh so the very first thing is how many of our girls and boys participate participate in sports. So the way this reads is left to right. So if you look at Chico High, you're going to start reading it from left. Well, yeah, my left going right. Uh so start with girls uh in the 23 24 school year there was 500 participants that were girls right and then in 2425 490 so it kind of dropped 10 but I mean that's a huge number of female athletes when you go to the boys still Chico High 554 and it increased to 590 uh for the 2425 school year and then Uh down below you'll see PV high school in 2324 their girls there were 460 participants and then uh that increased by 30 uh for the 2425 school year and then our boys uh at PB uh there was 594 in the 23 24 school year and then uh 2425 school year that also increased uh up to 606.
So, what sports are they playing? So, in this slide, and I'm going to start off with it's very small to see, but hopefully on your Chromebooks, you'll be able to see the small little sentence down the bottom because you will see that small little sentence show up on multiple slides. And so for you and also our public that may have this might want to know it says the value is not shown for fewer than 13 respondents. So in this case uh yes there are other sports that our athletes participate in but uh they're not going to show and also if you don't see a number um there's fewer than 13 respondents in that one. But in this case, you will see uh start with the left again with our female athletic participation. You'll see that uh track and field is pretty dominant. Um and then um and that's just Chico High and then PV is right next to it.
Um you'll see that as well. So Chico High 120 females and then PV 89. And that's for the 23 24 school year. And of course, if you slide on over to the next column, you have 106 for Chico High and then 93 for PV. And as then as you go down, you can see those numbers for that 23 uh comparison, the 2324 school year to the 2425. Um, and then as you go to the right, you'll see the male um participation for both Chico High and PB. uh you will definitely see where those high number of sports are with our young men. Uh football is big. Um and and in fact from 23 to 24 uh from the 23 24 school year to the 2425 school year, you will see that both schools increase in football participation. So you see that program growing. Um then you see track and field um it's pretty stable um for and then as you go down uh wrestling's pretty stable uh baseball's pretty stable and so on and so forth.
Those numbers are pretty similar. So the biggest growth uh you will see was football at both at both schools. Any questions with regards to this slide? Okay, we're going to go on to the next one. So, um, every year we are going to be tasked with, uh, doing the California Intercolastic, uh, Federation Survey, otherwise known as the CIF survey. Uh, if you hear me say CIF, well, this is what I'm referring to. Uh, 810 students responded to this survey. Um, 506 from Chico High and 301 from PV High School. And then you break it down. Ninth grade students 392, 10th grade students 184, and then 11th grade students 234. Your questions are going to be, hey, why didn't eth grade eighth grade students take it? And the response to that is, this is a California intercolastic federation survey. So it pertains only to high school students.
And then your next question would be, hey, why are the seniors not taking it? Well, because there's questions here with regards to what is it that they're like to see at their school site and they are on their way out. So therefore, you focus on these three grades because these are the grades that are being affected by it. Um, and so that's that part. Next slide. Okay. I want to make sure that everybody's on the same page because if you look at this, you're going to notice that the percentages do not add up to the numbers. Let's take and so this is me frontloading how to read this slide. So let's take volleyball and uh let's look at Chico High and you are going to notice 14.37 and you go wait a minute that's 23 out of 100 that does not equal 23%. Right? That should be say 23% but it doesn't.
It says 14.37. So the reason that is okay um is in certain slides that you are going to see where the percentages do not add up with those numbers. This is the reason why the 14.37 is in with regards to the responses. So the choice there's multiple responses. The student can choose multiple choices here and uh the bottom number that you'll see in this case it's the amount of respondents. So how many students actually took that or answered that question. So I want to make sure that's clear with everyone. What are your questions before I start diving into this? All right. Okay. Here we go. All right. So volleyball um in uh basketball, field hockey, you start seeing these and says from starting from left to right, these are females uh from Chico High and PV play the following sports outside of the school. These are all the sports that they play.
Um some pretty cool ones you'll see martial arts. Um you see way down there you'll see lacrosse. Uh you'll see rugby, you see gymnastics, and then track and field. So, these are once again sports that our students play outside of school. On the male side, um you'll see some of them play soccer and these of course are all club teams, uh baseball, lacrosse, martial arts, golf, wrestling, boxing. I was kind of like, "Wow, let's bring back boxing." Uh no, no, not a good idea. Uh football, swimming, volleyball, rugby, um mountain biking. So, um, and of course there's mountain biking going on around Chico all the time. It's a great place to mountain bike. So, I can see that as being, uh, of interest. Next slide. Here you will notice that the number of, uh, respondents does line up with the percentages and that is because they only chose one.
Right? So from here, uh, females from Chico High and Pave would like to try the following sports. That means they're currently not playing these sports, but they would like to try these sports. And you will see that up there you'll see volleyball, track and field, tennis, and once again reading from left to right. I'll I'll always be reading from left to right. It's just easier for me. uh skiing, snowboarding, cheerleading, field hockey, basketball, so on and so forth. And then uh that was just strictly PV and then you see um Chico High. And what you will notice is Chico High and Pave, they start to mirror each other, right? Which is kind of interesting. Now you go to the male side, right? On the right, males from Chico High and PV would like to try the following sports. Once again, track and field is huge.
Uh basketball is huge, golf is huge, and uh same thing for uh Chico High as we roll down. Now, at this point, you're going to say, "Hey, what about these other sports that we see in these other slides?" Because I'm sure the school board members have already looked ahead. And so what I do want to stress with the public in our school board is that these sports are currently offered in our high schools. And that is all they are is sports that are currently offered in our high schools.
Any questions with regards to this slide? Okay, thank you. We'll go to the next one. Same thing as uh two slides before the top numbers taking that that first bar which is tracking field on the left hand side uh the total number of responses is the percentage right and then below is the total number of respondents or responders if you will. So females from Chico High and Pey will like to continue playing the following sports. That means they play the sports and they want to continue playing these sports. Uh and uh so let's take Chico High in this instance and then we'll look at PV right next to it. Track and field is huge. Um, just so you know, there's always over um like I mean track and field is probably one of the biggest programs that we have out there next to football of course uh which you can tell on the right hand side that sticks out substantially uh when you look at the males.
Um so you'll see that all the the the sports that they would like to continue playing. Any questions with regards to this one? Okay. Next slide. In this slide, you'll see students not currently participating in a sport at Chico High and PV are generally interested in participating in the future. So, in the first one, you'll say yes. Uh, yeah, they want to participate in a sport in the future. The second uh row, if you will, it says maybe. You know, those are like inbetweeners. I'm thinking about it. I don't know if I'm going to do it or not. Then you have the nos. Um which were like, yeah, I'm definitely not playing sports in the future. But you do have some numbers up there that say yes. And then of course you look at the may. Um if you uh were to look at uh PVS, which is the top ones that say yes, if you look at that one, you could see, okay, you add up the boys and the girls.
So now you can say, okay, there's uh 35 students there that yeah, they're interested in playing sports next year that they haven't played before. Okay, good. Let's get them going.
Um any questions with regards to this slide? All right, next one. In this slide, we are gauging what the experience was uh for the participants that played sports or did athletics at both high schools. And um what sticks out um it's pretty evident is that students overall had a very positive experience playing sports at both high schools. Um there are some neutrals there but I mean when when you see those bars at the top end uh from the majority of the respondents that is pretty impressive. And if you look at the negative well look at that little bar down there that says or or that sentence down there values not shown for fewer than six respondents. So, um, you can kind of notice that compared, uh, okay, so six and six down there in the bottom. If you're looking at that bottom row for the female section, it's like, okay, there's a, um, it's fewer than that.
So, just want to share that with you because to me that's that's positive. Our our sports are having a very positive effect with our students. All right, next slide. I want to be very clear with this one because th this one and the next slide are kind of similar but uh to understand them is is very important. So if I do not do a good job I need you to hold me accountable and ask me to explain it again. So in this slide um these are the number of students females and males who do who currently do not play sports at the high school who would like to play the following sports that are currently not offered. Okay. So these sports here are not offered at the high schools. And your question should be is like okay why' you choose these sports that are on here as the list right and so my response to that is because these sports are the sports that are offered within the CIF so that is why these are there because if you're going to add a sport at a high school possibly thinking about it however we go you got to make sure that they are you have somebody to play against and the only play persons or teams to play against are going to be within your CIF section.
So just want to let you know about that. So uh once again these are students who do not play sports but man if they offered this sport they would totally be into it. So that top one uh females uh huge um 34.3 uh 35% of the respond responses were there because once again they could have chosen multiple but 45 out of 84 of the females said bad mitten was one of their top choices. Um, and then down to beach volleyball as a top choice and then followed by flag football. If you look at the right hand column, you're going to look at Chico High and Pave once again. Bad mitten, uh, there was uh, uh, 37 students that said males that at Chico High said, "I would love to play bad mitten." And then if you look at PV, you'll see 22. Now if you add those together because it's one single sport in a seay uh that's a that's a substantial amount of students with interest in bad mitten.
Then uh below uh the bad mitten section you will see on the boy side lacrosse which also stands out there. Uh 15 out of 51 respondents said and this is Chico High said yeah uh I would play lacrosse if it was offered. And then at PV said 14 out of 31 respondents said yeah I would play lacrosse if it was offered. So just want to throw that out there.
Are there any questions with regards to this slide? Yes. Sorry. You said that there were Pey girls and boys that said they would play lacrosse. No. No. I said that uh uh the numbers with bad mitten got it are PV and Chico High if you look at them as as like those two together pretty substantial group of students that are interested in playing Mad Beach volleyball. Yep. Is that for both schools? Yeah, that's for both schools, but it's for female sports. Yeah. Maybe one of your questions may be is like, "Hey, wait a minute here. What about lacrosse for females? Why is that not It's because it's not currently operated within the CIF." Oh, yeah. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. But that doesn't stop girls from playing on a potential boys team, any of these teams, boys teams in the future. So, just want to make sure that that's clear.
