And um I'll move to approve items 6 A and B. I'm sorry. 6 A through C as well as E and F. Can I get a second? Second. All those in favor? I I I All right. Um that leaves us to 6D. Go ahead, Miss Marquez. Yeah, I had um some questions about this one. Sorry. Let me pull up that um purchase. So this is for the curb extension. What um extend package rooftop unit curbs. What what are those? You do a good job explaining, but I'm happy to defer to you. Google curves. Um, uh, extend package rooftop. Yeah, because I'm not sure. I'm like I guess I could give it. It's And I apologize. I have an email if it's something on the roof or like that catches the dripping. Gutters or something? No, it's it's Oh, it's it's a it's what the which the HVAC sits on it and it's um to help protect the roof and maintain the warranty of the roofing.
We don't know what's going to happen yet. I believe we'll attain the goal that we'll maintain the um the recognition rating which is why we need to have some bands to operate within but as has been said you have to in this case you need to put the resources where the need is and you might that might come at the cost of achieving the goal. I will say what I really do like about this though is you know before you know as a board it's like how are we doing we didn't really have a benchmark we were just sort of kids are doing well in general we're paying our bills but it was sort of like amorphice and we didn't really have a way to like say here's where we're trying to get to are we achieving goals of growth we never really had a way to measure that and now we're putting this out there for the community and the whole world to see like this is what we think we're capable of.
I do think I put more detail in the board update update. I apologize. Let me go get that. Um, that was why because I wasn't sure and I was like, "Oh, I said it so well in that board update." Uh, let me go get that real quick. I just don't want to misspeak. Um, I did have to look it up. May 13th. Okay. Thank you so much. Um, there it is. Okay. I did. HVAC. Okay. Oh, I didn't give as much details as I thought. I apologize. Um, we got any H. Okay. But it is it's the it is it looks like a just looks like a little square that they sit inside in. HVAC curbs are raised metal frames and roofs to support and protect rooftop HVAC equipment. They provide a level platform for mounting units, preventing leaks and ensuring proper air flow. And they also isolate vibration and noise.
If we're hitting these numbers, then you know based off our definitions and our strategic plan, we believe the district is progressing and and uh and then if that's happening and students are uh achieving and so I do really like the fact that now we sort of have numbers. It's like okay here we go. But we know based off what we all decided, are we moving in the right direction or the wrong direction basically because you know I know we're not always going to achieve every single one of these every year it's going to be up and down but uh when we do take a step back it's going to give us extra motivation focus I think to do what we need to to keep moving in the right direction. Yes. More accountability I guess. Yes. And more coherence too. That's, you know, you heard all about coherence from John in January, but you know, if I asked you all a year ago, how's Betavia doing?
Thank you. And what you need differs depending upon the makeup of your roof and the engineering of the HVAC units. And so in in this case, what they determined was that our the life cycle of our roof and the warranty would benefit from having the curb units in place. They don't necessarily always need the curb extenders, but because of so in big projects like this, we do have um an audit of the product project to ensure that we don't overlook something critical. Um because, you know, it's it's different entities going up on the roof uh planning out big projects. There's 85 uh units I believe. And so when we did that audit to ensure we just had covered all the bases to ensure we get all of the maximized uh tax credit rebates. Um we go back through the requirements of those rebates. And I do believe that some portion of this may have been a part of um being able to qualify for the tax rebate for these high efficiency units.
You might all have similar overall answers, but different, you know, data and points behind it. And that might still be true in a few months. Like I'm not saying that by having, you know, five goals that suddenly all of you are going to be fully aligned on how is Bavia doing. But you can say, hey, we're moving the needle in these areas. We're not so much in these areas or or we're struggling in these subgroups or these uh specific metrics. But overall, you all probably will have a more similar picture of where the district needs to go and why decisions are being made uh at the district leader um school leader, classroom level um to move the needle on these on these areas. I have two discuss or we don't have to have a full discussion because it's 10:15, but I have two questions for all of you, but I want to allow you all to ask any follow-up questions you have for me on on these before I ask my two of you.
Um but then I know that when we brought in the other uh it's like a third party that kind of overlooks those uh projects um and Varie the company that we work with brings that that they pay for that to come in and review the pro project. So what they determined was with the those specific roofs we do need the curbing and those had not been included in the first go round of the project. So that's why we went ahead and and brought them back. We had a discussion. We agreed we do want to maintain the integrity of the warranty of the roof. We don't want to do anything that would a uh I can't remember um Mr. Wells had let me know how old that roof was, but it is still under warranty. Yeah, I would say that obviously we replace the roofs every now and then, but if you also know the buildings themselves are fairly old there.
So my two questions for you is just and and these don't need to be again don't need to be discussion tonight but two questions that coming out of tonight and between now and June when you're saying like do I believe these are the goals that we should be focused on as a district. You should be thinking about what's my role in helping the district achieve these goals. And so do I believe that I can uh you know help set the conditions for success so that we can achieve these goals. By set the conditions for success like do I believe I understand the levers for change that I can help exercise to ensure that we see success and then in what ways can I as a board member help communicate these goals to the broader community. Especially when you have like I actually really love the idea of goals and guardrails, but when you talk to the community and you're like we hit our goal or we didn't hit our goal but we stayed within our guardrail like how do you communicate that effectively and how do you all create a craft a message that uh ensures alignment in the direction that the district is going.
So, so you want to do everything to maintain integrity. So, um Lolinda has not been remodeled, right? Okay. And yes, uh those units will be moved uh during any remodeling. Uh and we wouldn't sacrifice those units. We we made that plan knowing that remodels will occur. Uh but we wanted to take advantage of these uh tax rebates so that we could have those savings that then also get the higher grade HVAC units that will be more efficient. Okay. So, do we know do those those curb extens extenders do curb extensions do those like if when we do remodel and you said we'll be keeping those HVAC systems and the curbs. Yeah. And the curbs the whole unit the whole unit would would stay intact once they're in there. They're in there. Sure. If it's something like oh no when you rebuild you got to get new ones and I'm okay.
So again, not questions that we have to answer tonight, but two questions I'm posing to you all that between now and June when you revisit these goals, you should be thinking about, do I feel like I can set the conditions for success and do I feel like I can communicate these goals to the broader community? All right, the last piece is, you know, just implementation of strategies. So, so what? So what's actually happening from here? Um, and this is a screenshot. You don't need to look at any of the words on it intentionally like size two font so that you don't need to strain your eyes. Um, and but what this is is it's an action planning template that DCC members and committees are using to go from measurable goals to initiatives and action steps. So there was a strategy around you know um an evidence-based uh literacy curricula going from that strategy to saying what are we actually doing to gather uh to evaluate and implement that curricula and who is doing it on what timeline in what classrooms you know all of those pieces who what where um now this is not the level of detail that you all as board members members should be providing feedback on.
No, I'm good. That's that's all. Thank you. Okay. For sure. Thank you for your patience. I'm sorry I'm having it uh I have to look this stuff up too on all these until I understand what stuff is but for sure. Thank you. All right, we'll go ahead and move to approve item 60. Approve purchase of rooftop unit curbs for Lomolinda HVAC project through one GPA contract. Can I get a second? Second. All those in favor? I I All right. Uh, moving on to future agenda items. Right now for June 3rd and 24th, we're looking at SOFG, proposed budget, superintendent eval, approval of salary schedules, budget hearing, and budget approval coming up. Um, anybody have anything they want to add or get a slip from Hilda forum? Um, I would like to make sure that LCK cheerleaders can get their pompoms. Okay. Well, yeah. So, in the future, we can't respond to things on that aren't on the agenda, but you can ask for followup after somebody does public comment.
You should be providing feedback on are we actually seeing success on our goals and the dcc members and their committees are saying how are we taking the steps and our our staff, our students, our leaders taking the steps to make sure that we're achieving success on those goals. So, I'm sharing this with you so that you know what's happening, not um that you will be seeing this level of detail in the future. Um, and the other thing that, um, you heard me talk about short list is better than a long list with goals. The other thing that we've been working with the DCC to say is, hey, you have somewhere between five and seven strategies for each priority area. Doing five to seven things per strategy means doing, I don't know, let's say on average, 20 things a year. 20 strategies a year. That's a lot to be moving forward on, making progress on.
And so, we don't necessarily need to put it on the agenda, but we can make sure that that's something that gets followed up on for sure. Awesome. Thank you. Okay. Anybody else? All right. I'll motion to adjourn tonight's meeting. Second. All those in favor? I I I need to I don't know the first she's saying can we get them to what was done or the situation or the situation It's
So, we had um subcommittees like CAC and plaque and rack look at all of these strategies and say, what have we already made some really good progress on and what do we know we're going to focus on in the next school year and really select those areas for building out that really detailed um action plan. So the CAC did it with um the enhanced literacy instruction. The plaque did it with um professional development. There's work around amplifying student voice. Um and the reason that this one specifically was selected is because this strategy like a power goal that's bringing a lot of the others with it. This strategy is deeply tied to actually a lot of the other strategies in um fostering inclusion and belonging. and then rack um focused on facility maintenance upgrades. So I'm sharing this with you again not to you know get into the weeds and details of what action steps are happening but just to say that it's the work of the DCC and the ACT committees to um be prioritizing what are we focusing on this year and they're doing that based on both what do we know is important and what is the data telling us we need to focus on.
Can I jump in and ask really quick? I don't know if it's really a you or like a Tom question, but just like when we're talking about DCC and the all the acts and all that, why is equity not within those groups? Um, I would say equity is just like student services committee and some of these other committees that exist. It's just the acts have been the primary like uh collectively bargained bodies that have been traditionally used as part of the collaborative process here. Okay. But that's not to say that that that's not happening. You know what I mean? Like in many of you are assigned to various committees that don't have the act name to it but you know there that is part of that work. Okay. Yep. And especially as you look at some of these strategies, they're definitely they might fall definitively in some of those other committees and those other committee should be involved in building the action plans and digging into the data around those.
Um, any other questions or comments? I'm sure there are and I'm sure that there some there might even be some questions that you're like I don't even know what my question is. I just know that I'm not sure about something and that is okay. So, um, as a followup from this, um, we will make sure that I know you have the materials, but that you have the materials and you also have my information, um, along with the leadership team because we want to get your feedback prior to June. We want to hear from you. So, you know, what are your questions, your comments, your concerns, the things that you know, you're aligned with, the things that you want to make sure you would get clarification on, or the things that you even want to have a bigger discussion about before you say, "Yes, I'm approving these goals moving forward." And so, we want to get that feedback from you.
So, I'm going to make sure that there's a formal channel for you all to be able to provide that um to me um through or not through the district leaders and then we will work to make updates to this um based on that feedback, those comments um those questions that you have. And so, we'll update the measurable goals based on today's feedback, but also what comes out of today's feedback. and you all will hopefully review those updates and hopefully approve of some goals at the next meeting so that um you have set those set of goals prior to the June 25th data shareout meeting where there'll be a uh data update from the leadership team on many of the metrics we've talked about today. And the reason I'm saying like cart before horse or or horse before cart is I by establishing and approving those goals, you're doing it before you've kind of dug into the data.
Um and sometimes when you've already dug into the data, then you're saying like, oh, I'm shifting in my thinking on what's important here. But you should be really saying like as a district, what are we, you know, saying is really important for us to measure? and then let's dig into the data on are we moving the needle in those areas. Um the DCC is continuing to and and subcommittees are continuing to refine and update and implement action plans. Uh I know there's a summer hiatus, but that will hit the ground running in the fall. Um and you can expect to continually get an update at the December and June um data sharing meetings and salt team meetings. There's so many acronyms that I'm learning here. Um, and finally, my last next step is for you all. So, I know I I named those two questions to you, but I want you to keep coming back to those as you're in the June meeting getting a full district data update.
Um, you're, you know, hearing from your subcommittees about the action plans that they're building. What you all should be doing is saying how can I set the conditions so that we can be successful? Do we need to change our resource allocation like where we're allocating resources? How do we hold the district accountable to the things that we believe are important? And how do we communicate with the broader community? So I want to end with uh how you all should be thinking about your own role moving forward in these measurable goals. All right team, what did I not catch that you that I should have? What did I not say that I You got it. All right. And that's all for me. Thank you so much. Couple couple of things. Um so with the timeline, I'm going to give everybody kind of chance for one last comment.
Please um is I would like to establish a deadline for the questions so they have enough time to react. Give us enough time to review what comes out in the board book. Are we okay with this component of the board book coming out on the Thursday Friday before? Do we need it a little earlier so that we can see kind of the final version more than just the weekend in a couple days? I'm just putting it out there. So, does everybody feel kind of our typical board book date when we see it is enough time for us to review it and be confident about it? No. Keep in mind, we've already asked a bunch of questions at that point. We're just making sure that those questions were implemented and we can ask why they weren't if we care. Are we seeing the questions that were asked and like were we seeing what's being updated before then or is this going to be the first time that we're seeing everything?
