k12.us so during the course of the meeting please send in your questions via email we will begin to those uh later on the agenda uh there's a correspondence section right before the superintenden report so we'll check again there uh but in the meantime not sure Jeff if we have anything uh so far during the meeting you're on mute you're muted sorry the old you're on mute trick uh not necessarily during uh this meeting there were a few comments that are going to kind of just duvail into what I was going to present tonight so if we want to hold off on that there's like four four emails yeah and we do have a correspondence s later we'll get through all that thank you uh that being said up next is uh report to standing committees we're going to start with curriculum uh Faith you want to give us a report on a meeting held October 19th sure actually we have um two things to go over uh starting with the meeting it was October 19th um a lot went on in the meeting and so um bear with me here um we started with a presentation by uh from Michelle LeBron Griffin and Michelle Weaver both from um the State education Resource Center um and they just gave us an overview of the district's plans to engage in equity work over the course of this school year is part of the chesher um strategic planning initiative um so it's in this first phase Circ we'll work with the strategic planning initiative committee administrative Council and then begin student focus groups um next we got a broadcast demonstration from um Marlene Solano and Kevin hanlin and Tom leok and Scott Conway um and they just described and demonstrated for us um how the broadcast equipment was going to be working within the classroom um and that included a wearable microphone uh ceiling mounted microphone and one really good audio system um then we had um a fall data review from Kevin hanlin and um our elementary schools did incredibly well on the reading inventory um the report indicated the growth of students uh the growth of students from uh 2019 fall Administration um to the fall of 2020 administration of the reading inventory so that is something to Crow about um and then finally Mary Dr Mary dad gave us a um status update on the um instructional model being employed in the high school um it's a Collegiate model and some of the details included information regarding asynchronous and synchronous activities the regular and hybrid schedules uh class period length teacher students um length and details and also we were told that um there was an ongoing survey which I believe we will hear the results of tonight um moving on uh for new business um Dr Moren Reed and Mrs Leslie peir and Dr sha maccau uh mun sorry um shared in the presentation of curriculum changes in their departments so just a quick summary um new coures added are AP an AP seminar Capstone introduction to business manufacturing Cad and Cam and Manufacturing fundamentals uh We've eliminated three courses uh business ownership international business and research and design and then we have um up the or changed the levels um adding dual enrollment designation for advanced personal finance accounting one computer Essentials and word processing so all of that necessitates a change some um changes in textbooks so we also got a um new textbook recommendation um so Leslie peir the business development chair reviewed the recommendations for three textbooks to be U utilized within the business department curriculum uh specifically each textbook is associated with a new cour that I just identified their titles are Paradigm Benchmark series uh Microsoft Word 2013 or 2016 I will stop there it's a long title um business 11 introduction to business and personal finance turning money into wealth now these books are these texts are on available for review um in the central office through uh December 17th 2020 and after all that we adjourned so I have one more um notice well it's just again um my I did want to just emphasize that those textbooks are available for review um now there is a third agenda item for the curriculum committee having to do with educator evaluator evaluation and support plan and flexibilities of which I am not Adept at all so I'm going to hand it over to Marlene Solano yeah I was going to say Marlene will walk us through the uh communication we received thank you thank you for that great overview Faith um so this year we received all superintendents received an email from commissioner Cardona um about adopting some flexibilities to the current teacher and administrator evaluation plan and in response to that we pulled together our educator evaluation plan and professional learning Council of which we have 19 members four of which are administrators and 15 are teachers we held three meetings virtually where folks could drop in and ask questions about these new facil these new um flexibilities the intention of the flexibilities was to respond to the new realities of school and um ease of getting in and out of the classrooms and rather than having more formal observations that require pre-meetings and post meetings for which we oftentimes need substitutes and lengthy stays in a classroom that could cause um problems with cohorting Etc they were able to uh suggest to us um limiting those formal observations in favor of more frequent informal observations and also getting rid of the summative evaluation at the end of the year and focusing these um the evaluation system on some concrete feedback for teachers so this group met uh discussed and looked at and reviewed the flexibilities that the commissioner had put put out um they also we documented our feedback on all of those and the general consensus after deliberation was that this seemed like a very workable and realistic model for us to use going into this year um we shared that with the committee shared that with Jeff um and at that time we applied for um these flexibilities to the State Department of Education which was granted to us and so we wanted to make sure that we were informing the board of this change change to teacher and administrator evaluation and um some of those changes also include having a heavier focus on parent engage um parent communication student engagement um and and also academics but certainly the Highlight seems to have been on social emotional learning so our teachers when they're choosing their goals we'll be looking atal goals which have always been a you know the past four years been a part of our plan but there's a bit of a greater emphasis on that and those connections with kids and with families does anyone have any questions I have one Marina I I'm looking at the actual document uh we got from the state department of Ed uh which I'm not sure you can share it on our website somewhere in case folks are curious about this but the the the question I had is when you talked about formal versus informal is informal I'm assuming that's a limit you know contact in the classroom for Co but would informal include like you know getting in on a on a hybrid uh life classroom uh session and kind of observing that way not necessarily being in there but just GNA CH or am I over that's a great question Tony um the formal observations are scheduled so I'm telling you what time I'm coming into the class room we plan ahead I see what you're doing that time I go in and then we we debrief it afterwards the informals are just that they are informal visits to the classroom that are unplanned so teachers don't know when they're happening and it's um it's a little more relaxed and so yes they can see um they can see the broadcast rooms they could see those um what do you call it uh synchronous sessions um they can see those sessions happening on Google meets Etc all right so more like a surprise inspection but you know nothing much well understood I just we're all you know we're obviously all thinking in light of covid and you know our high high school and just this social distancing I can understand but I'm glad that there still an anity to get in there and give teachers feedback one way or another so thank you I don't have other questions on this Faith at this time well that's the end of my report uh so yeah and I uh welcome back an and I don't see uh any other qu questions from the board unless Tim has one on this part of the report uh yeah thank thank you Tony so Marlene just just um you had mentioned with regard to the flexibility You' mentioned increased in engagement and communication could you just give like what might be a typical example of those things I'm so glad you asked yes so um some of the things that we've been talking about are um for example for a um an administrator towards that goal they'll be working with their schools on plans to engage parents and one of the ways our administrators are looking at doing that not every single one although I I'm sure that we'll have lots of people doing this are having um remote coffee sessions so that they're inviting parents to come in to drop in not a formal PTO meeting but more of an informal you know Mrs gillo is going to hold a coffee hour from 99 to 10 on these dates come on in and feel free to ask questions about covid related items or or classroom instruction or you know different things like that um one of the things I was talking with Kathy Sullivan our uh PE department chair today and one of the things that her um department is doing are these Wellness Wednesdays where they're engaging kids in um some different uh topics related to social emotional learning standards and um some of those include uh topics like helping others or believing in yourself positivity in the pandemic um exercising during the pandemic and one of the things they've asked is for kids to to video and show them um doing activities uh exercising activities with their parents so kind of getting families involved in doing these things together and then sending them in so really a lot of activities designed for connection and community and um while the doors to the schools are closed really opening them up virtually to get engagement with families and students do yeah do you have a do you have a a sense right now of how many in order to do that engagement with parents say um do you have a sense right now of uh how many parents are actually working at home as compared to do I mean have have any of the surveys touched on that yeah no we haven't surveyed parents whether or not they're working at home but just anecdotally it seems like certainly we have oh yeah M much many more now you know than we did before I know recently our um Scott Conway and Tom leok are technology integration Specialists who I know you've heard me rave about before they've done some um technology sessions for parents of remote Learners and they did those with our principles and also with our Rams across well Rams across the elementary and some other folks across middle and high school to try to support parents in that way so doesn't answer your question but it gets to again that engagement piece sure okay thank you you're welcome excellent thank you Tim and marleene for for reporting the questions uh we're GNA move on to finance committee Mr gripple thank you Mr chairman um we had a finance committee meeting on uh November 9th uh to get an update uh from Mr massana on the situation on the status of our budget so I'll uh hand it over to Mr masana okay good evening everyone thank you I am going to um share my screen and and walk the board members through the finance report which was presented to the finance committee and you know I will try and walk through this at a high level and quickly or as quickly as I can um because I know the board members do have this information in their package so this is the um as of October 31st our approved budget is 74.5 n million that obviously hasn't changed you know through the end of October we've expended or encumbered 57 million $689,000 um so we have encumbered all our payroll and our transportation accounts as of the report date and you could see here that I projecting that we will end the year in Balance which is you know one of the requirement that the Board of Ed is responsible for um I think the important thing is to show you how we're going to get this year in Balance because of covid there are some extraordinary expenses uh but also some offsets that I want to walk the board members through and I I just want to make sure everyone can see the screen with the report and the dollar figures on it somebody just say yes yes thank you okay so this is a projection that I completed again shared with the finance committee um when we met um just starting at the top this section here these are the um potential costs due to covid-19 that we're estimating for the full year this estimate is prepared on the basis that and with the assumption that school remains in session for the full calendar year and that treasure High School remains in hybrid um and all our other schools operate on a full day schedule so obviously if we if we change that the assumptions you know would change the dollar amounts I've listed here are where I expect that we're going to have again potential and major costs uh that are going to be variances to the budget so we're estimated $300,000 which will cover the cost of the intraday cleaning and dis expecting that we're doing in all our schools we started doing that when school opened again assuming we continue through June we're expecting that to cost $300,000 a new um loss that we're anticipating has to do with our food service program because of the fact that the high school is um in with students four days out of five and and on the four day is only 50% of the students are in plus participation is down in in all our schools except Highland we anticipate that the food service program will experience a loss of about $300,000 and that's after we um have mitigation efforts in place so um I will add just a couple of things that we weren't able to report in the finance committee meeting and that is based on a survey that I saw from other school districts in Connecticut um 79% of school districts are anticipating that they will be in the same boat as us where they will not be able to cover their expenses because participation rates are down uh and about 85% of those school districts you know are reporting that they'll you know they'll be um you know in a significant loss you know this year if things continue as is so the board will have to make up that loss again you know the the key word that I want to use is we're doing everything that we can to mitigate you know the loss is by working to increase participation uh in both breakfast and lunch and some of those efforts are already starting to um you know increase participation so we'll we'll keep the board members posted on that as we go through the year uh board members are aware that we installed um AV Equipment and and have broadcast classrooms up and running there's actually 59 of those that cost is 191,000 tent and table rentals uh through November 20th that's 159,000 paying isolation room monitors um which we're anticipating will end in March I estimated to the finance committee 135,000 I I will tell you that since we met with the finance committee we were able to make some adjustments you know based on consultation with the school nurses and our school principal so we reduced from uh seven schools with isolation monitors to for schools with isolation monitors that we share so I expect that that 135,000 you know will be reduced by about a third so we're looking a little bit better there already the cost of purchasing and supplying uh PP sanitizing and disinfecting for our classrooms and staff is 120,000 98,000 for the removal of furniture and equipment that we did over summer plus keeping that equipment and furniture Insurance storage and then returning it that's about a $98,000 expense and then the bus room monitors were $40,000 we are no longer supplying those bus monitors they really aren't needed the the level of compliance by students with you know wearing masks and um you know social distancing to the extent they can on the bus has been fine so if we total all that up you see that it's about 1.34 million so here are the off offsets to that 1.3 million the Corona virus Relief Fund that the state um provided grant funding for is $76,000 and again an update since the finance committee meeting we did get confirmation from the state that this amount is approved um and will be reimbursed to us as we submit you know our our expenses in accordance with the with the grant parameters so that's a piece of good news you know there were some concern and some questions about whether or not that would actually get approved and funded by the state so we we did get confirmation that's proved we're getting $85,000 from the um Elementary and secondary emergency School Relief Fund that's part of the cares act that 85,000 partially offsets that 191,000 for the broadcast classrooms um board members as I mentioned I believe at our last board meeting we still have $200,000 in the budget carryover from last year that we'll use and then the last category here is we we are um confident that we'll have at least $50,000 in transportation savings because we are not running field trips right now to any measurable extent the number of sports Charters is way below what we had budgeted and encumbered funds for but we're also seeing pickup because we're not running you know any students to sound school because they're remote at this point in time will Cox school has been um open has been remote on and off since the beginning of the year we just got word today that they'll be remote through November 30th um so that all winds up you know saving dollars in the transportation budget so uh we'll have offsets of a million 41,000 uh against that 1,344 404 so what I'm anticipating that we'll need to cover Through um through our budget through you know either savings or additional funding is about $33,000 and as I said earlier we've already started to mitigate some of this with the isolation room monitors um that 303,000 because we have a hold we're holding at 40% of um non-payroll expenditures on our budget you know we will be able to cover that 303,000 but not spending in in other categories so at this point I'm not I'm suggesting that we um ask for any additional appropriation from the council this is going to be a a bit of a moving Target as the year progresses and um just remember that this projection is based on even though we're in the month of October when we made these projections um we really only had three months out of 10 months of of school so you know I think we're looking okay all things considered and we'll continue to manage and monitor this as as we always do so I will stop sharing the screen and and pause there if there are any questions there oh go ahead so on the on the cafeteria on the uh the food cost the $300,000 Revenue loss or projected Revenue loss is that because I understand that we have less participation due to how we're having uh lesser kids in school during the week and uh sounds like more than expected uh opted out of I guess more out the cart stuff so is the overage because we had to purchase additional supplies and packaging due to covid and because we're playing labor and that the revenue from the food surface not covering that cost like do we had to rep I imagine we also had to pre- purchase you know obviously ingredients Frozen Goods Etc the extent that we thought we needed to I uh just trying to figure out what's driving the loss at this point it it's a combination of several factors certainly because we're pre packaging the meals we're buying supplies to prepackage the meals um that's an added expense the the time it takes to prepackage the meals um also adds to our labor cost um but primarily it's because if you look at you know year over-year our breakfast meals are down 19% from last year our lunch meals are down 45% from last year uh and our allart sales for things like water and snacks that's down about 86% from last year so it's really the it's more of a revenue shortage than an expense overage problem that we're dealing with now one of the ways that we will mitigate um because we have been offering you know meals for our remote Learners in particular um but the the number of remote Learners and the number of remote Learners picking up Meals is not is not one to one to where we were last year so one of the things that we did start doing um last week is as students leave for the day we're handing them breakfast for the following morning and that does two things for us one it does increase the number of meals that we're serving um and we do get reimbursement from the USDA for those meals as we serve them it also um prevents students from coming in to get breakfast in the cafeterias where providing supervision has been one of the concerns for the School principles especially at the elementary schools um we also um have made a more of a marketing effort to promote the the distribution of meals that we're doing Monday and Wednesday so that has already started to help increase the participation rate and I I think there's still a bit of a Fear Factor especially as we started the year about student students you know obtaining meals in school so they're bringing their own um you know as I said this is It's Not only chesher that's experiencing this particular issue we um you know continue to work through it to see if we can solve the problem I mean one of the things that I know the board members have heard me say is that you know we have a very strong food service director and meline Dyer and strong managers at each of the cafes you know here in chesher so you know if we can't do it nobody can so we're we're addressing the problem you know we're working through it as best we can um and you know I mean I I I don't know if Jeff was going to talk about it but for example you know on Wednesday we're preparing for a very large distribution so Wednesday before Thanksgiving we are giving deals for seven days to um you know not only to students but for children 18 and under those meals are available so we expect to distribute about 5,000 meals on Wednesday and all those will help the the fact is that the the USDA actually the Office of the President uh announced that they would extend free meals for all students through the end of the school year so um the meals are free to our to the children but I there's been a reluctance to take advantage of that program and I think that's one of the things that you know by promoting it we'll we'll get to a more you know a higher level than we are today I don't know that we'll ever be at a normal level compared to Prior year okay thanks Vincent welcome um Tim go ahead oh thanks yeah sorry Vin a second ago you said the Office of the President are you talking about Trump I mean okay all right like it threw me off when you said that um so not the office not the office of the president-elect I'm sorry it was President Trump that enacted the free mails through um the end of the school year okay yeah no I guess it was just the fact that you mentioned the Office of the President but then also through the end of the school year but then it's a budget cycle not who's in office per se I guess um yeah I was just wondering so is it basically most of the revenue coming to you right now is from the USDA well ultimately yes okay you know and the way it works it's actually a reimbursement program okay so you know I know we normally don't talk about cash flow in our in our budget meetings but Food Service you know that cash flow comes from from the sales that they're making day in and day out F the parents fund student lunch accounts and 85% of student lunch is paid for by parents the other 15% comes through the USDA in normal times through students who are eligible for free or reduced meals so you know cash flow is is ordinarily not an issue but it it's become an issue because we have to wait for reimbursement from the USDA now okay and it's delayed usually about 30 to 45 days so that's why that's one of the reasons we have to you know basically help the Food Service program so that they could State cash flow positive um but the answer to your question is there's very small amount of all our cart sales um and the USDA does not cover water or snacks they only cover the cost of full lunch or full breakfast meals okay thank you and I just one more question I'm pretty sure I haven't seen anything about this per se but with regard to covid and Community spread that's you know I think I would be I think we know about the cases of CPS community members students teachers staff who've you know had some covid or a test or something like that but I'm curious because I'm pretty sure what's happening now is that ches Perot or you know Public Health officials can't really pinpoint where all these things are happening where the spread is happening and I'm just curious has there been any indication from ches percot of any spread within the school system we contact Trace every positive and I can tell you like it almost without fail a family member is sick a student is quarantined as a result and ends up positive it's it's almost always the case I it's not every case but it's almost always the case so has there but has there been any community like within the schools that of that you're you have a hint at or anything uh of all the cases we've had we've quarantined about a thousand people uh so far probably more than that there's one case that's a possibility okay okay with uh in an elementary setting with students who sit next to each other at lunch sure sure I heard probably a month ago so okay other than that I mean we can say with pretty solid certainty you can never say with 100% certainty um either way really but you can say you know there's clear indicators and evidence uh for the contrary there not and that's national uh nationally been reported uh for public schools nationally right okay that where the and I'm going to get into this in my report a lot more DET okay all right thank you uh Faith go ahead um then I was just curious we've had two lunch workers in a um covid semi- covid do we have to shut down the kitchen when this happens for cleaning and is as these instances happen and incidents happen how is this going to impact the food the budget as well well you know what the the case that we had this week was over at cheser high school um and we did have a you know one Food Service employee over the weekend you know reported that she was having symptoms um so out of an abundance of caution we we put the high school into remote um and of course as it not of course but as it turns out the employee is not covid positive she had you know a rapid test and and two PCR tests so she's not positive but on the heels and and waiting the results of the first Food Service employee a second Food Service employees reported symptoms U actually a symptom and you know we decided to extend the remote for cheser high school students Thursday and Friday so it it will have a you know a negative impact this week um you know we we don't make it we don't seem to make it up in the food distribution that we do Monday Wednesday at the high school on on the after school program so the I guess the short answer it's not going to help help us at all if if uh that happens again it is the first time it happened and certainly we're hoping that the second employee is also you know negative um and to answer your question about you know when we uh you know would would close either a classroom or a kitchen or any space down if someone tested positive um yeah we we would certainly do that the in this particular case the incident occurred and was reported over the weekend so we did our normal disinfecting you know and and we did have one case this year because of the timing of when the person started reporting symptoms and tested positive uh which was at Highland School we did have to do an overnight fogging of all spaces in the building beyond the hand disinfecting that we do so it's case-by case basis is how we at it I would just jump in on that one that case occurred in August yeah back when and first of all this person's role in the building was to clean every surface um and they were covid positive uh the other thing is we you know at that point the people who were doing that job had no ideaa who anybody they worked with was so how do you contact Trace when you know I don't know that that dude in the hallway that that doesn't really help us so we needed to close school the next day to be able to to make absolutely certain the other thing was at that time from what we knew about covid we thought that fogging would be um an effective strategy today nobody considers that really an effective strategy in a school setting um so you know things evolve over time nevertheless we showed abundance of caution then we show abundance of caution with the cafeteria when you think that one or potentially several cafeteria employees may be sick we get them out of there and we play the safe fruit our goal is to keep kids in school as much as we possibly can as long as it's safe and if I'm not really sure then we're going to air on the side of caution which is what we did in the cafeteria now are we required to do that no the person didn't test positive but if I can't be really sure I don't want to go down that road so we did it um and it's to protect everybody's well-being and you know the money that maybe we lost on those couple of days isn't a deal breaker when you look at the big picture yeah and the other thing is you know we do regularly consult with esot or Dr OK Conor you know when in doubt on on some of these types of issues so you know we you know the guidance that we we get is very very important and I think it's what's helped us you know maintain relatively healthy overall as a school community and not see you know any real spread you know student to student or teacher to student or vice versa yeah and we did uh consult with Mora on this incident in the in the high school calf thanks just for remind for folks that just tuned in uh we are actually in the finance uh standing committee section report and just duve h a little bit to the by no means is that the end of the co discussion there'll be more later so so hang in there thanks everyone back that ends Finance if if you want I could do medical benefits if there's no other questions on finance sorry I dropped out there for a second yeah Vin go ahead uh medical benefits that be great all right I'm gonna just go back and share the screen so the the monthly uh report we just received it today and so the board members received it a little bit late in their package um so you should be able to see on the screen now this is the medical benefits for report through October 31st um the bottom line is that October claims were a mil 45,000 so you know three out of our four months in this medical benefits year have been over a million dollars which is unprecedented for us again we're still seeing a lot of high high dollar claims um you know for people who have you know various illnesses and and particular cancer treatment um so that's mostly what's driving it it's not Co I'll give you a quick update on Co in a moment so with the million 45,000 in claims this month um if you look on a year-to-date basis we've uh paid 4.3 million in claims we started the year at um with a trust fund a medical trust fund balance of 2.8 million and we've depleted 1.1 million of that so so as of October 31st our medical trust fund balance is 1.63 million that gives us about two months worth of claims but that's at the expected $800,000 per month of claims and and we are running so far year to date an average of about a million 78,000 so certainly disappointing um from an overall perspective and the only light I can The only positive light I'll shed is it at least it's lower than the 1.2 million that we had in September I say trending in the right direction finally yeah yeah so we'll go with that Tony and I'm I'm as always I'm going to keep my fingers you know crossed and and hope that you know people stay healthy on the covid front I just thought it was um worth noting that we we do get a report you know each month from siga that just isolates the covid related expenses or covid related claims um so since the beginning of the pandemic this report begins in January of 2020 through October of 2020 we've spent a total of $ 54,3 196 on claims related to covid of which 53,800 is for testing and only $547 for treatment so I I I think that's great news I I think we you know are fortunate that we haven't had anybody in you know our benefit plans that have been sick um to co to the point that it was a very expensive treatment and for their for their health not not so much for our cost but most of the money that we've we've spent has been for testing and it looks like from what I could see in the report looks like we've had about um tests that were done and only about diagnosis of covid amongst our participants which of course includes our employees as well as their uh dependents whether they're spouse or children so we'll uh we'll continue to you know manage and and hope for the best with the medical claims Katherine you had a question yeah um so then are do you know if we're going to be getting any stoploss you know coverage for any of the claims uh well not there yet yeah so these are expensive claims but they're not hitting the level of right gener but that's not unusual because you know July is the beginning of the new claim year and so stoploss begins as of July one so we're not we don't have any claims yet that have risen to the $175,000 level okay and I've you know the claims that the higher claims are in the 80 and $90,000 range you know hopefully they stop but if they continue on we will hit our stop loss you know as as we approach the seven Monon Mark usually is when we start to see a a bump up in stoploss reimbursements to us okay thank you uh Tim go ahead thanks Adam yeah Vin just in general so you mentioned there are you know the unfortunate circumstances some people are getting treated for cancer other things do you happen to know if any of those treatments in general do end up going up to the 175 or is it totally dependent on the specific person it's going well the the stop loss is on a per person per diagnosis basically so someone who um you know it they have cancer and they're in treatment for six months um and you know some of the the chemotherapy drugs you know are 20 to $30,000 you know per month so some will hit unfortunately okay but you know I I don't want to I I I hate trying to forecast where the stop loss is going to hit when they hit you know they'll hit okay some well yeah okay all right thank you any other questions on medical benefit okay uh well then um Mr chair we'll turn it back to you thank you Adam uh up next is uh report from our planning committee uh Andrew he good evening everyone we had a meeting back on October the 22nd um between Tim Katherine and I and Vinnie um very focused meeting on solar power we had ECG engineering who's our consultant that has been retained by the district to take a look at our school facilities both the buildings as well as the grounds of the various properties across town um they presented to us a report entitled treasure PV opportunities um whereas they outlined each facility and where there could be potential installation of solar um from there we went into the different programs and deadlines for the submission of Grant applications to the state um as part of the renewable energy credit program one that we really focused on was the zero emissions renewable energy credit program um and how that could be utilized by the district for a potential installation um from there we talked about a site walk which actually didn't take place due to some weather issues that occurred um but we were looking more towards a potential installation not on the roof of a school building but rather on a property um some of the F conversation focused around Norton um and the parking area there just outside of the Bus Loop so we're waiting to hear back from our consultant about um the layout of the the solar array I believe in um and we should be getting that within the next week or shortly and then the applications would be due um I believe by July I have to go back into my notes and look at that yeah I the you I will um because we didn't do the site visits I did provide the ECG engineer um all the information that he needed and and he was going to you know do this basically based on site plans uh and and Google Earth so did give him some direction um he did start working on it um he's pretty sick right now unfortunately so um you know I'll I'll just give a report back to the planning committee members as soon as I have an update or a report I'll share it right Away Great and that was the only item that was on our agenda I'm sure Tim has some information he'd like to uh add thanks Andre yeah so Vin correct me if I'm wrong but where we kind of landed at the end of the meeting was uh in my opinion we will have schools that are still going to you know the modernization is happening but we're going to continue to have schools we're going to continue to use electricity and have parking lots and what we discussed was probably uh Norton ditt and Highland Andre that that we were kind of thinking about that are low likelihood of you know being demolished or anything like that and putting up a new building have some idea of where we're coming from on this in terms of the direction yeah the the other couple of suggestions that we provided is the north parking lot at cheser high school there's that large area on the west side of the high school property by The Pump Station that's you know near the the the um linear Trail uh as a potential site and also you know even an area like over at Highland the that um that concrete structure that serves you know as a bus shelter so to speak so those are some of the things that he's going to be looking at beyond the schools that you mentioned as well okay yeah all right thank you Andrew thanks man thank you thank you Andrew uh moving on policy Adam thank you Mr chair I have to should have had a glass of water because I I guess I'll be talking a little bit on this one um so uh we had a meeting on November 10th um and uh we were uh there to discuss uh four particular policies I believe or was it five yes uh five particular policies um three of them we decided to uh table for further research um because we did not have enough information to even decide if they were uh uh deemed ready for a first reading um and uh though the the three that uh we have postponed for now was uh termination of employment um Personnel non certified non-certified alcohol drugs and tobbacco and uh students alcohol drugs and tobacco uh and two of those were um involving uh uh the product called CBD and on um the termination of employment we're I think we had some foyer questions that uh we could not answer if I recall correctly if anyone thinks I'm wrong please pipe up Tim or Jeff or Catherine right sorry cther yeah I wasn't at that meeting so I oh that's why yeah okay all right yeah all right that's why uh yeah that's that yeah we almost didn't have that one uh did you have any questions on that Tim no well no I was just gonna say I didn't uh so Jeff correct me if I'm wrong I don't recall the the discussion on terminations and suspensions that was in large part I mean something that I feel like it was in large part something that I was asking about I just come from the perspective of um I want I don't want to uh hurt anybody in any way uh but I want the public to be aware of you know serious situations where someone is terminated or someone um is suspended I think where we were at the end of the conversation was that uh all I think hiring in Departures will probably or Jeff was going to think about doing this giving an update in his superintendent report um people who arrive and leave the school system so it wouldn't be focused on people who separated from the school system but everybody would be out there in terms of coming and going and then uh with regard to the suspension um I mean my personal what I'd like to have that information I think where we were is saying all right we don't want it we will not identify people per se maybe this is the Foya part you were talking about or the legal part you were talking about Adam but basically uh an anonymized uh detailing say on a quarterly basis of suspensions that occurred so it doesn't name anybody per se but it's put out there yes this happened and it doesn't happen often um I mean we were in a meeting in the last couple months and Jeff had said that I think in his four or five years maybe four of these situations arose so like once a year um but anonymizing the suspension data is what I was thinking where I thought we ended the conversation uh I would agree with your recollection Tim and um yeah we're we're looking at uh anonymizing the data um as I believe I I stated uh during the meeting that uh I didn't think that the I was making this assumption I don't want to speak for anyone else but that the the board may not uh have a stomach for anything besides an anonymization of uh of data uh as far as reporting to the public uh but I believe that we wanted to make sure that if we were to anonymize that that didn't create a catch a catch 22 where if someone wanted to look further to be able to foyer something if you don't have a name can you actually foyer anything so uh so it sort of like we're just doing some more homework on that to see if it's see what's going on there um so if I could chime in go ahead I if you guys are actually having a PO discussion right now but it's an update to the meeting right so can you focus on the update part yes sir thank you uh so I'll continue on because I have a lot of reading to do so after we got past that discussion um we move to uh to a first reading uh bylaw 993 21.2 uh time place notification and uh bylaw 93 2.43 for attendance of meetings via electronic communication to the full board um and uh both of those um one of them uh I believe 9321 I'm just going to summarize these uh 9321 is just to uh for us to consider uh that allows us to have these electronic meetings during the time of the governor's um uh executive orders uh once the executive orders expire uh it's our understanding that we will no longer be able to to be able to have these electronic meetings like this because we would be in violation of foyer um the uh second bylaw uh change for attendance um via electronic communications uh could be maintained uh if we choose to um uh so that if a board member uh could not attend in person after um uh I guess after covid it restrictions have been lifted uh and the executive orders have expired that they could attend electronically um and so uh those two uh bylaws are now uh placed in the the minutes here for your review and that would end my report unless there are any additional questions just have a comment on bylaw 21.2 yes just gonna recommend to the policy committee that uh if they look at paragraph where is it where it talks about posting uh the meeting talks about the town clerk's office the Board of Ed uh office especially in light of Co no one's going to the town hall to look to see if board meetings are posted and certainly because of Co no one's going to the board of the office to see if meetings are posted I'd ask the committee to add to this paragraph in a public notice that perhaps also post On The Board website because are checking these days and I get a lot of flack and it's not Flack actually it's very constructive feedback from you know members of our community that you and now engaged and you have good following um you they go to our website you know it's Tuesday or Wednesday morning they see the meeting date but they don't see a not an agenda posted and if I tell them well it's at Town Hall you can imagine the response right so uh to the best possible just let's if we can add it in there it will just clarify things and also help Carol just to post it there too you know might be easier for her so absolutely we'll take a look at that next time thank you um um uh I uh don't have a motion here so I guess well sounds like you guys are still in draft mode is that correct yeah so right so yeah we're we're all set so just in first reading and we're good to go thank you my report is completed all righty see there's no other questions from the bo I'm sorry I uh just uh sort like everyone has been a long week I'm paying attention I'm just trying to read ahead to the next s uh up next is our school monetization committee report actually the comme me last night uh Andrew and Ann if want to give an update that'd be great sure um Ann if you don't mind I'd like to start unless you want to throw anything out there before I get in I what I did here uh fellow board members and those at home is I took certain portions of reports and plans that we've received and I put together a little presentation um they're not my slides but I'd like to kind of run through them which includes the different options as they stand today which are draft draft options just I want to put that out there um as well as some items from an the enrollment study that was done by milone McBroom to kind of paint the picture as to why those options are being considered based on what milone McBroom um found for the long-term study of enrollment projections for the district so and do you want to add do you want to go first and just kind of talk about anything before I get into this because it might be a little bit long winded I'll try not no let let's see what you have all right so I'm more of a zoom guy so I'm gonna try to present my screen and not screw this up so let's see how this goes uh let's do window and then let's do that okay do you see the my screen no no okay hold on give me one second hold on you could do it Andrew you're worse than I am I was gonna yell not that button now yes yes yep yes okay all right so this what you're looking at here these are the um enrollment figures as put together by milone and McBroom um we hired them back about five or six months ago um so what I'm showing here is this is the elementary school capacities um we have the functional capacity by Elementary School within the district um so the total prek through six functional capacity is at 25518 in our current school buildings here my loan Pro projected out through 2930 the projected enrollment within the school district for pre through six again this is just prek through six is where I want to kind of start to run through so you can see at 2021 we're at 258 students and then up to 2930 we hit the blue line which is showing the capacity of the district school buildings as they currently stand for prek through six at 2518 at 2711 students so by 29:30 um well actually by 2526 um we are just about at capacity and for the 26 27 school year we are actually over capacity of our current school buildings here you can see each of the five elementary schools broken down um again starting in this year 2021 up through 2930 and you can see um Darcy is by next school year is or is over capacity um and then go school by school um do little we have definitely some space and some time so some redistricting could help to solve some of the other problems districtwide um but Highland um 2122 is pushing it and then by 2324 we are over capacity in that school this is just the uh number of classrooms and the function capacity at D and treasure High School I left that slide in there just so you can get a feel as of what those capacities areum and then the average class size is assuming 20 at the middle school level and 17 at High School so the good news is that DT and treasure High School in the course of this study the Horizon that this Project's out for and neither school is projected to exceed capacity within the projected Horizon okay so here are the initial scenarios as submitted um by coers International who is our owner project manager um who has been studying um working with milon McBroom to come up with the different draft scenario and working with the school modernization committee as a whole um the first scenario that they came up with was to build an new elementary school um the reason why I showed you the information previously is is that we are going to be out of room in the elementary schools um pretty soon um so what this does is that this helps to pull some of those students um namely from Highland as well as from the um Chapman area into a new to be determined school which would have a capacity of six to 700 students um it would house the prek and would close the Darcy School up here in the Northwest Quadrant of town um the elementary schools would all remain as K through six DOD would remain as the Middle School housing seven and eight um and there would have to be some CIP which is capital investment projects or alterations to that school building um possibly be able to size a new Elementary School to minimize additions required at the other schools possibly use Chapman as swing space for renovations to the other schools and treasure High School which is still the big elephant that needs some work um that would be handled through some capital investment projects the initial draft scenario number two is to build a new middle school has grades six through eight um approximately 200,000 square feet gross square footage based on projected enrollments um so what this would do by building the new 6 through eight Middle School it would free up the space within the other elementary schools um to house the projected enrollment or the projected increased enrollment of the students that would be coming into those schools by making each School K through five um again there would be alterations and renovations to the remaining elementary schools um DOD would become a swing space in order to complete the work to those schools um and then treasure high school would be renovated um in outgoing years scenario number three is the project where we would start with the renovation of chesher high school um it's large anticipated cost for that project um and then we would go after Chester High School gets designed renovated Etc then we would look to renovate Renovations in the elementary schools um but again if we do start with cheser high school um you are not solving the immediate issue of the increased enrollment at the elementary school level and then initial draft scenario number four would be to construct the new high school um a new new high school not on the Chester high school property somewhere else um and then demolish the existing High School upon completion of the new school and repurpose that building for either a middle school or another combination of um facilities into one so that's the first thing that I wanted to run through are there questions from anybody on that initial uh andreww I just uh chime in that this came up last night too SMC meeting this is essentially where to start in the overall plan it's not and again so these are drafts they're they are work in progress they're being refined they'll continue to be refined over the next month but just to put in context it's that's like that's not like the plan that's anybody is where we actually start you know so even with scenario one two four uh if you if if everyone agreed that was one of those was a start you still have to address the rest of the plan for other schools and so again just put in perspective what you're seeing there is not just what you get it's just a start right I want to just you know there's going to be a lot of scenarios that are going to come out of the committee um I just thought it was important to let the board know and those at home that there is a lot of thought that's going into this um things are definitely going to be subject to change um things are changing at every single one of our meetings and in addition to we meet on the first Monday and the third Wednesday of each month as a full board um but then also there is a weekly meeting of the selection committee or the scenario committee which is also looking into the different options um there's lots of ideas we've receiving correspondents from members of the community which we greatly appreciate which is helping to shape what this plan is going to be um but I do want to just say we we have have some rough numbers and I know that people are going to ask what those are so um the new elementary school and again these are rough numbers um a new 700 student Elementary School at 990,000 square feet would be about 55 to 66 million before State reimbursement um so after State reimbursement of about 35% we're looking at a 37 to 45 million project for the new elementary school and then the Middle School um would be about 110 to $140 million at 1100 students and 190,000 square feet so after State reimbursement you're at about 75 to 90 million um in Treasure high school they're still working on putting together what the cost would be to renovate that building hey Andrew you're still sharing your screen I think I know I want to show one last thing oh okay I before I give it up into this once I get out so here I just wanted to show you what the schedule looks like because I think this is important to look at so even if we come up with the plan in the short term so here we are in 20 let me just go back give me one second okay so right now we have been the school mization committee has been meeting um met throughout the spring and summer um so the pre we're calling that pre-referendum pre-referendum phase one um so right now we are in pre-referendum phase two which is option development November through January so we need to come up with or hopefully come up with the best plan by the end of January um through phase three we would be doing the um option refinement and Grant application process so between February and June by June is the hard submission to the state of Connecticut um of a project um so between February in June we'd have to not only go to this board but also to the Town Council and the community and come up with what the project the best project is so moving out from there saying that we all agree and the project gets forward to referendum we' go to referendum in November of 2021 with the project if the project is approved by the voters then you see that there's a design phase of 15 months once the architect is selected here you get the grant commitment from the the state in the June of the summer of 2022 design phase will bring us into June of 20123 with construction going from August September of 2023 with a construction duration of 18 months and the school wouldn't come online until school year of September of 2025 so that is my presentation if I can stop share I do it all right all right good all right so what I want the reason why I showed you that schedule is is you know even we're working to get this project to a point that it can go before us into the Town Council and get Buy in from everyone to just be approved for referendum once goes to referendum basically a year from this past election um we're not going to be into that school until school year of sure uh I believe the question starts with faith then Tim then Adam um just thanks Andrew that was great good technical uh job juggling there I do work all the time I'm not used to this Googling so what can I just ask and I know I should know this what percentage of the K through six population is sixth graders how many students percentage your students you have to turn that to Jeff as I said I'll throw that to Vin no so we're talking uh percentage of our population that's k k through six no no no that's just sixth graders because they're the ones that we're either we're we're looking at moving around it's funny you say that Faith because we uh at last night's meeting were just talking about that and you know I I could tell you today that it's roughly 300 students but um they're going to build out the projections for that over the next eight years and look at that so um we're that we're asking the same question you are okay all right great mind think alike um okay and then again I I think I mentioned this when you had your had us with you guys a couple weeks ago um you know I anyone watching is is thinking oh my gosh how are we going to handle all of this and could you explain the the project um phas in I mean you know this notion that we don't have to necessarily do it all at once that it's a stepbystep process um because to have to swallow you know wow how many just hundreds of millions of dollars is going to kill whatever project we have anyone right I mean so so faith I mean that's a great question so right now we are you know simply in the the putting together the options um and then once we get our first project then we can plan out to see what the other projects are going to be and see what the appetite is for bonding within the community I mean it's it's it's a big price tag no matter where we start um and so figuring out where we do start and how we handle that as a community is going to be a discussion for all of us okay thanks okay we lost an but I think Ann is back welcome back an you're welcome to chime in on this I was calling out just before you dropped off if you want I'm having some trouble tonight that's for sure um so I missed uh some of that but I have seen it before so um yeah I don't I don't really want to um duplicate something that was already said so I'll just no worries yeah uh yeah so faith I don't think the committee's at a point of uh hard cost yet I think I think by middle December we'll have a better cost estimate for all the options and then obviously you know uh no matter where it starts uh you know obviously you got to still do something with other buildings right that maybe are not part of a major renovation or so so again it's still TBD so again these are just draft options and on on that note I just want to say that now that these options are getting more detail and I think uh as a board we should meet as a group and talk about these options probably uh in December I would say after that second SMC meeting which I think is on the 16th Wednesday and we have a board meting on the 17th by the way so I think by then we'll have some more clarity on where these options land and we can as a group uh talk about you know does it make sense Etc because I think we need to feed that back to the SMC committee you know while they're doing this I don't want to wait till January for us to talk and you know um hold up the discussion sooner they hear from us a consensus and where we are on some of these things the better I think the details start coming to us in December so stay tuned for that we'll figure out how to we have a meeting on the December 7th and then again on Wednesday the 16th so between those meetings there's uh weekly meetings of the options committee and then um things will get further refined by by coers and my loan awesome any any other questions for Andrew an or onization Tim and I probably forgot Katherine and Adam go okay cool than yeah Andrew so in looking at the slides uh it looked like you were suggesting that or the slides are suggesting that renovation and capital Improvement projects is two different things could you just give like an example like renovation is painting Capital Improvement projects a new new square footage like a new room what what's the difference my definition been correct me a capital Improvement project would be something that is included in our Five-Year Plan right or kind of routine not routine maintenance but as we approved the $25 million plan for the fiveyear capital so like for instance a $500,000 window replacement project at Darcy school would be considered a capital Improvement project whereas a renovation might be a new classroom Wing or a larger renovation to a a gym or a cafeteria Vin is that summarize it fair yeah yes that's correct Andrew so I think you know what's really what kers is saying in in that slide is you know if you have a renovation project for a particular school or group of schools you're still going to have to make some Capital Improvements through the five-year Capital plan process so on that slide It's a combination of Renovations plus whatever you're doing in the capital Improvement plan okay okay I get that that makes sense I was thinking of like renovating as like painting and being relatively inexpensive if renovation is more expensive than Capital Improvement project think of renovation as a building or a a substantial portion of a building large scale project Capital Improvement plan may not be small I mean if we do a roof like if we do the roof over at at uh dot it's gonna be a $3 million project probably okay thank you andh just one other point I don't know if you can speak to this Andrew or vin but what I thought I heard you say Andrew was yep uh Elementary School 990,000 square feet just as a just as something to start a discussion $55 million that comes out to about 600 bucks a square foot I was I had in mind it'd be more like $250 $300 per square foot for an elementary school it is there something I'm missing like it's on it's a it's a big difference my number may be totally wrong I don't know but is there anything special going into the elementary school when you said that so there and Vin you could stop me but I asked that exact same question because when I was doing the math between the new Elementary School cost and the Middle School cost um and coers was able to show the state and how the state factors square footage costs um and that's what that's based upon so there's certain square footage costs for school size and school grades corre Finn yep and that you know that includes not just Construction cost but that includes all your furniture fixtures technology equipment so that's an all in number for a new school will give you everything that you need okay all right but it does exclude the land cost if we have to acquire land so that was one thing I mean that's not going to be a large percentage of the budget but that's not for the idea of Elementary School would it be something similar to what we have now or would it have you know like a science room a clean room or something like that for elementary school is what I'm wondering about or I mean again Tim it had nothing's been designed yet so if if if we are going to go the route of a new elementary school I think that'd be a whole another committee that would be kind of working with the architects in order to SP but one of the things is with the element with the new elementary school is the prek program from Darcy would move into that building so there would be a specialized area for for that program okay okay all right thank you uh Adam had a question earlier thank you um yeah Andrew I wasn't sure how long your or how detailed your presentation was going to be um so I ended up watching the entire meeting last night uh I thought there was a lot of great information in there uh it actually goes through even the the sites of all of the schools that are that remain um and I thought that was incredibly interesting um I also found incredibly interesting that uh I was I was named personally last night at the end of the meeting but that was uh I don't know weird um talking about the middle school project and um and and and what I what I had commented on on the uh I guess at the October 21st meeting um and I normally don't like having someone else uh sort of explain to other people uh what I said uh so if anyone's interested in what I actually said you can go to the 51 minute Mark of that meeting and you can see what I said and what I did say actually uh was that um at the time that I thought that a middle school wasn't necessary any longer because I was uh commenting to what uh Jeff had said during his presentation um and I also uh stressed very very heavily that we need to have a comprehensive plan uh of the Middle School plan that I saw last night it would still cost $120 million is uh just for that school which was my understanding um I know that we haven't had um our debt tolerance presentation from the town yet I guess I don't know um from what I've seen it's probably around $80 million or so um and so if that's true then and that Middle School plan still has in there that we still have to update all of the elementary schools that remain take care of what DOD will become and still renovate a high school or do something with you know make the high school more habitable than it is um so when I say that uh I'm I'm not uh entirely a positive about a middle school project I question whether or not it's feasible to the town um from the information that I saw it may be feasible on paper as far as uh freeing up space at at the elementary level uh because there does seem to be some dispute as to whether or not um the ele a new elementary school would only serve perhaps 25% of the town you know only you know one part of the town will ever see that new school up in the north end and no one else will get to experience that where if you do a new middle school then you know their kids will most likely get to uh walk those hallways at some point um but I think that way too premature to at least call me out on on something that um I don't think I've really taken a firm stand on except that whether or not it's feasible financially for the town um and I don't appreciate um uh being uh I guess picked on in that way um and I'm certainly open-minded to to any project that comes out of this SMC and and I know that we'll certainly be able to to uh analyze and have a final say on that as well um so that being said I think that the work being done so far has been really great uh but I still want to see more uh because I'm not convinced of any project right now uh even even I know some of the members of the SMC were still uh promoting the uh the high school renovation or brand new high school project and they were talking about turning the high school into a five through eight uh school and that and I don't know maybe that could work and but I haven't seen any numbers on that either uh so I'm I'm definitely excited and and interested to see uh what the what the final projects are going to be but I also know seeing your timeline that you know with the holidays and everything if we have to decide on a project by the end of January then there's going to be a lot of work that has to be done uh before that can happen so I just wanted to say that thank you good points Adam I think you touched upon a couple things one is I don't know I would say you being picked on as a badge of honor I don't know I I I I I understand that part of it but but in all seriousness though there's other costs right so uh we don't yet know and I I'm not sure when the committee will know my guess is when the options are refined with our input because um you know it's not like we're going to be sitting here waiting for a present to be given to us in January saying okay here we go have fun with it uh SMC is very much once ensured the Board of Ed is giving them ideas on educational specs so so like you know talked about you know clean room that's something that superintendent wants to do with our support you know so again it's whatever those final projects are they can't get across the street per se to the Town Council unless they pass us first right so uh we're G have plenty the weigh in on and yes it's going to be a busy January not just because of budget um so but yeah we don't have all the costs and I think we know those variables and you know all this is going to depend on what appetite the town has and you know so everything you're asking Adam we're all asking um so it's F uh Andrew I think Katherine was waiting for a while Katherine you have you want to chime in I'm not going to belabor this um one you know you guys are obviously doing a huge amount of work and and I'm interested I'm interested to see what these you know the four options are as as a preliminary uh matter um but it's clear that there is still a lot of there are a lot of moving parts and there's a lot uh that still needs to be worked through um I do just because I am the way I am have to say that this sounds very familiar to what we went through a few years ago and the prices then were going to be a lot cheaper and so the town I think better get ready for whatever it is that come that whatever comes out of the SMC and gets through the Board of Ed it's going to cost money and I and significant money and and we're never going to be able to avoid that fact so um and the longer we you know continue to just not make the decisions the the more expensive it gets obviously you know I mean um so I mean one of the things that we did not look at I don't think very hard was you know building a new elementary school so that's you know sort of in that's that's interesting um but I don't you know I I have to hand it to you guys this is such a difficult process and um I think it's up to us as the board and the Town Council because I don't know where they're how they're feeling about anything at this point but to really keep an open mind and give you guys as much room to you know synthesize everything that needs to be sort of brought together um but you know I I'm just concerned that in the end the reaction of the town's going to be exactly the same as it was a few years ago and you know I hope that's not the case but um Adam was s from what I heard from Adam it you know I mean that's the concern it's a huge ticket so um anyway good luck and uh we'll be waiting for more details obviously yeah certainly twist this time around as the uh enrollment at the elementary schools growing Beyond capacity or in next five years so yeah there's a little bit urgency but point taken Andrew's Andrew I I think we lost an in unfortunately I don't think sheing to to say but is there anything else you want to add before we move on I just echoing what everyone here has said I mean schools as Vin has said numerous times schools aren't going to fall down tomorrow I don't want anyone at home or here to think that you know there's this imminent problem with each in building each building is old they're tired they need work but the issue is going to be increased enrollment so enrollment is coming these kids are coming you can see it um the the prek and the kindergarten classes and the first grade classes are growing and they're going to continue to grow and at some point we're going to be out of room so something needs to be done and I just hope that after all of this time and energy is expended that we get a project that is a project that we could all agree upon and that it gets agreed to by the Town Council and it gets to the voters and the voters can make the ultimate decision as to what they want to spend and what they're willing to spend on behalf of the school facilities in the community so that's what we're working for and with that more details to come soon stay tuned thank everyone I'm sorry to we uh we'll probably talk a little bit more about the SMC uh output in these meetings so we can gear up for our January refinement uh that being said uh for those still hanging in there we're getting very close to correspondence and the superintendent report before we get there uh we have no other standing committees uh we have an item four which is approval of minutes so in our Board of Ed packet we do have meeting minutes from the Board of Ed meeting held October 15th and November 5th um doesn't want to have any changes to these minutes amendments see as there are none would someone like to make a motion to approve the minutes nobody wants to make a motion faith I could say I would but I can't find the motion the link packet okay I move that the Board of Education approve the minutes from the meetings held on October 15th 2020 and November 5th 2020 excellent is there a second second Catherine seconds uh any discussion seeing there is none the motion is that we move that the Board of Education approve the minutes from the meetings held on October 15 2020 and November 5th 2020 all those in favor please raise your hand there are six in favor Ann unfortunately ised off but the motion passes six in favor and I will say one exstension we'll let Carol clarify that in a minutes that being said we're moving on to correspondence the much awaited part of the meeting we have received some a couple today um so miss and secretary do we have any correspondents yes sir Mr chair we do um so the first is a correspondence uh that was addressed to the superintendent and um principal Gad and uh the board was copied on it and it's from a group of uh concerned parents regarding the uh current instructional model at chesher high school um and there is a continued concern about um the fact that you know maybe kids need to go back go to school um more often and and the Wednesday the day that is used for cleaning the school uh could be better used I think is basically the concept here um for in-person uh learning and I know that superintendent Sol's going to be addressing this issue in his report so uh that's one piece of Correspondence the second is a letter that was addressed to the Board of Education um comes from from the teachers at Norton school requesting uh that chesher public schools go completely remote between Thanksgiving and the winter break um since there are only 18 school days during that period of time and for primarily for safety reasons and um because of Staff shortages Etc uh they are proposing that that would be invest interest of the kids and the teachers so and again I think that that's something that um Mr Solen will be Dr Solen sorry uh will be addressing in his report but those are the two pieces of Correspondence that we got Catherine uh yeah yeah so uh those are folks listening we're we're talking about the after correspondence that the board of AD receives outside of Co email uh mailbox uh but I know there's more in the co email box so Jeff do you want to move on to your Super's update so we can just uh discuss and start addressing some of these questions yeah thank you um so I'm GNA present screen um there is so much to cover tonight I don't want to threaten you with a get comfortable but there's a lot of uh a lot of stuff to go through this evening on a VAR of topics and I'm going to try and be as expeditious as possible but you know kind of try and do right by the information that we're we're sharing so everybody can everybody see that I'm in full screen so I need an audio confirmation yeah looks good thank you um so you know as as Tony just indicated we do have some covid-19 emails um there was a suggestion to go remote in all grades uh request to keep schools open if numbers support that for example um you know if one school doesn't have the numbers that support uh in-person instruction and another does can we keep that building open uh there was a question about air purifiers and because I don't touch on that in my my uh overview I'll will respond to that that this is something that VIN and his team and and I have looked at uh the health department does not support that uh particularly for Open Spaces like classrooms the only place they do endorse that is in the health office or uh an isolation room if there is a sick individual that uh want to be put in there which we've done um so they the and our health professionals don't endorse that either so what we do is you know keep windows and and ventilation uh cross ventilation to the greatest extent not possible um maximum level of community spread uh of covid-19 that allows for safe operation of inperson education so that was a question that I'll address delayed start uh the question was if we go to remote will we have a delayed start the answer there is yes uh we've built in a one hour on um if we go to remote learning uh is a is a building and we make that decision um not necessarily these last several days at CHS per se but um if we make that decision going forward there would be an hour delay built in and then of course you know we'll address something you The Correspondents from Norton and and uh the high school uh group there will uh touch upon that so covid-19 first and foremost I wanted to start with our current District data and this PowerPoint presentation like I said is is pretty comprehensive and it goes uh we're going to have to move it along at a decent pace to get through the whole thing you know before at a decent hour anyway so it will be available on our website tomorrow if you miss anything don't um don't feel bad it'll be available uh the uh numbers as you can see and the first two lines or the first two rows are uh positive cases that we currently have uh individuals isolating we follow the state guidance in do not indicate numbers of people F you know when there's five or less cases I can tell you districtwide they're you know it's it's generally the case that we don't have five cases it's one or two here or there uh the isolation impact is is greater the excuse me the quarantine impact is greater on the bottom two lines uh you can see where we have significantly more people quarantined and we work very closely with uh at ches Brott to identify who needs to be quarantined and um sometimes that can be only students in the room uh with the the positive case those within six feet for 15 minutes but sometimes that also includes kids that were uh at a club or activity it includes kids that are on the same bus or bus stop uh uh lunch and so we uh meticulously review the child's schedule and then uh quarantine who appropr roate as well as the staff um so you know that question about when do we know if we need to start to look at uh remote learning and so the Center for Disease Control has a um a I guess a a kind of a form that they use to evaluate when might you want to consider that um clearly you know you have to look at these three primary factors in determine you know what at what point are we comfortable so we look at what we're looking at is this data coupled with our the data that I just showed you um is really indicators of what's going on what do we have to have to do might we have to make a change so today the state just released the number of new cases in chesher uh per 100,000 within the last 14 days that number is at 34 it's in the moderate uh risk of transmission the percentage of positive PCR tests over the last um uh 14 days is 5.1% it's right at that threshold of lower risk to moderate risk and then the ability of school uh to implement five key mitigation strategies uh consistent and correct use of masks social distancing to the largest extent possible hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette cleaning and disinfection contact tracing with in collaboration with the health department schools should adopt additional mitigation measures as we you know typically do but um the in that case implement all five strategies correctly and consistently there's a lowest risk um and implemented all five strategies correctly but inconsistency inconsistently I think what we've observed and um seen through and Mora has provided us feedback we do a very good job with that I think it's obviously contributed to our low numbers but uh you know others aren't seeing spread in school so I I don't know that they do as good a job or just the same quality of job but um using that indicator we're pretty low risk of spread in the schools so first and foremost you know we have to make sure that our our schools are safe for all anybody who walks in them our staff students um anybody who's entering the building and we use we measure uh that you we determine that through data and you know obviously regular consultation with our our health professionals um both federal and state officials agree that maintaining in-person instruction is is the best path for health and you know those are obviously two fairly different uh political realm so i' like to think that the the politics have been kind of taken out of this equation and health experts are agreeing on that um the other area that we consider is Staffing so as you saw with the quarantining numbers I have to have enough substitutes to staff the building because we can't be in a position where we're taking I know you know this is what made things difficult in hamen that they found themselves often taking several groups of classes putting them in the um in the cafeteria or in the in a Auditorium trying to space them out the best they can and that that just wasn't working um so Staffing is a is a factor another issue we consider is the mental health and well-being of our students and staff so um that's you know we survey folks we just completed a round of surveys I'm not familiar with other districts that have completed surveys uh we did that we were amongst the first to do that in the spring and uh we're uh evaluating that information now I just sat with John Redford the the teachers union president today going through some of that and we've sat with our administrators to look at some of the teacher and and student data and then I'm also consider of the role that we play in the bigger picture I mean certainly um if we can provide a healthy safe environment uh for our kids to access School in I'm conscious of the fact that we have doctors and nurses and people who work at Stop and Shop and and policemen and firefighters and that that need to be on the job and um count on us to to play a certain role to allow them to be able to do that and of course that comes with making sure it's safe to do so first and that's why we look at those CDC guidance and the number and our data but we do play a role and our our teachers are every bit front line heroes in this but they shouldn't have to risk their life they play a role and so we look at review the data and make sure that um it's a safe place for them and our students to be so the evaluation of these factors is constant and it's ongoing our administrative team nurses and local health professionals we've been working non-stop every weekend I get calls from principles and uh certainly Nancy Stanton or Mora and we are constantly evaluating this so it could could change um but for the last 11 or 12 weeks we've done um a very good job of monitoring that and and not uh and making sure that the environment is safe now we see other districts um changing they have their own unique circumstances they have their own Community data they may have much more multi-unit housing and having greater spread and things you know we we are looking at treasurers data um and so you know that's that's what we're making these determinations on and why I'm confident that we need to continue to move forward in this path the state said today that they're looking at mid January for a peak in the viruses um the idea of our students going out remote now when we have good conditions and keeping them out through mid January is deeply concerning for their mental health um in our in our community so if the health data and experts are suggesting we continue down this path then we do but of course like I said that could change uh in a day um so our plan is to continue to move forward with remote learning and I've been thinking lately about this Paradox of our our current situation that you know we spend so much time separated separating you know kids in school separating ourselves but we are so deeply interconnected that you know if if an individual is not responsible uh and you know can can tracks the illness in through some irresponsible way and I know that others you know it's not always because you were irresponsible certainly but you can impact many others and we see that out in the community all the time through these parties uh get togethers and it's well intentioned you never think that your friend or whoever is going to be sick and they may not be symptomatic but uh I just want to underscore what every Medical Professional is advocating for particularly during this holiday season is we have a a vaccine on the way you need to to stay do the right thing um stay home do it with your family um and and be be smart about it um couple of reminders those who elect remote learning starting this week if you go to remote learning this week you're required to remain in remote learning until January 2nd that is consistent with what we've said from the beginning of the school year it's on our frequently asked questions page um from September um that you're out for a month and that and that protects particularly now our staff who are dedicating themselves every day to be there for our kids and all of those kids that go into the building so again if you know if you're going remote you're making a commitment through January 2nd um the other thing I want to remind people of is that there is a Connecticut travel advisory um it's on the the um Connecticut website and it's map is Crystal Clear if you travel anywhere outside of the tri-state area New York New Jersey and and we'll throw Rhode Island in there um you need to quarantine for 14 days upon return and um you know the states are listed what you have to do is listed and I will tell you that um this is something we take incredibly seriously that if you are traveling and I will be sending these things out as a reminder to our parents that if you are traveling that you need to do you need to follow all the advisories if you don't there are fines associated with that and in order to protect our students and our staff I will pursue that with Mora if people are not adhering to that and jeopardizing the health and safety of our students and staff and I I don't want to sound like you know a tough guy or anything like that but this is serious business we want to have our kids in school and we want our staff in school and we need them all to be safe and doing so and so if people are making conscious decisions that contradict that and jeopardize it we will pursue appropriate steps um because it's something that we take again very seriously um so Stu parent and student um survey results uh there's a lot to go through here uh High School parent survey I appreciate the 493 folks who responded and as I indicated earlier there's a lot it's hard to just go through these and really process each graph um but I want you to come away with a flavor through this presentation and as I said you can go back and and take a look at it later um that our children are able to adjust to school this year um 63% said mostly um 31 somewhat uh so those are pretty high numbers um under the circle cumstances we know that this year is going to be tough uh for for everybody student staff parents uh the whole nine yards so compared to the start of last year uh your child's ability to regulate their emotions um doing fairly well uh compared to the start of last year child seems to be enjoying school and for us you know we we give these surveys not only to learn about uh how we can fix the here and now but also what you know what can we do better when we return and to see that you know seven and a half% of our parents think that their kid is their child is enjoying school more this year than in years past what can we take away from that how can we improve so that's you know something we're thinking about the amount of communication I received from my child's school at you know CHS or humiston is um either you know about 75% say it's too much or just right about 23 um so we need to delve into that and see you know how do we improve the for those 23% the amount of school work my child receives um it's you know the vast majority of respondents particularly in English and math consider the work their child is receiving to be just right social studies and science um relatively uh a little bit lower than than math and English but also very good the green bar here for career and Tech is not applicable uh and again we'll we'll put more information up on our website so the top responses our parents provided when asked about what their child needs help with nothing at this time was the top response um about 50% actually more than 50% uh I think I can't remember exactly what the original n was so we'll go with about 50% uh time management social emotional support understanding curriculum and content is about a quarter of the or fifth maybe 20% of the group so that we want to take a look at the amount of time my children spent on the computer for remote learning has been about right um and 31% say too much so when you know there are some Advocates you know on online that that are pushing we need more time on on remote um that would concern me um I'm not suggesting that's what the parent letter was about but we you know you see all sorts of things on online and so we have to really look at what is the data telling us when we have a much more um you know robust survey like we have here so I mean this is also concerning that 30% say too much online time so the most frequent parent comments uh summatively is the desire to go to more inperson learning I think you know we all share that desire uh grateful for the support of teachers and administrators and too much time on the computer so what did our students think 1155 responses there from chesher High and humiston combin um they're you know not shockingly feeling less connected to their peers at the high school they attend every other you know roughly every other day in cohort groups um and the opportunity for like team Athletics and stuff have been somewhat compromised certainly for football and now postponed for winter Athletics um that's where there's so much you know peer connection and I don't want to um I don't want people to walk away forgetting about music I mean it's such an incredible part of our community and our students the marching band didn't happen this year and so I mean that's a family uh in its own right and so I'm I'm I'm really sensitive to that piece about what our our students are experiencing if our students have a problem they feel like they can help somebody solve it uh the the overwhelming majority of the time if I needed I can talked to a teacher individually 75% said yes 24 haven't tried and a sliver um said no I had contact with my school counselor um and you know I'm I'm impressed that so many students have um connected with their school counselor I think that's uh uh you know kudos to the board uh in years past we've added more mental health positions it's certainly necessary now and clearly our kids are accessing that if needed I can talk to a teacher individually scar that was a repeat if I feel I'm on track to meet expectations in my class uh 60% said mostly 32 and uh change said somewhat um in a small percentage not at all or I don't know if you don't know that's a bad sign is a dad a principal um yeah that's not good uh I need help with top responses this is what our students have said time management and um marleene and and Don wonus who's been helping us out have been delving into that um certainly uh an issue that's a greater concern with our underclassman but really for all students and that's you hear that with college freshman transition so this the silver lining in this um nightmare that is 2020 is that students are getting a taste of that and I'm impressed that you know more than you know third almost a half of our kids that took this survey or half indicated that time management is something that they know that they need support with and and that's coming upon us to work with those kids and try and make sure that they they have that support um again many kids indicating that they don't need help at this time um curriculum content social emotional support you may remember that these are the same four that our parents identified and then you you'll see this as kind of a theme um of the biggest concern of of what we're dealing with in the these days with covid um so these were I think uh our remote learner responses uh when learning remotely 141 students that are strictly remote the amount of time I spend in class is about right and then 24% say too much um and I think that is really interesting as we've increased more uh synchronous learning time uh that that's you know from our students starting to be a question that they're asking as a remote learner I feel part of my cohort in class um strongly agree and agree is a little more than you know 45% and then we have neutral so you know the the fact that there's a small you know about 20% that are struggling with that um under the circumstances is really pretty good for our our our high school teachers of course we want to address this but you you know as we transition to doing this for the first time um that that's something that we we think is is pretty good to start and but a play always want to improve so our Elementary in uh DOD parent survey we had 855 respondents really again appreciate the responses um adjusting to school this year you're going to see dramatically different numbers for students that are in school um that's just the reality and uh part of why we believe that it's really important as long as it's safe again to make sure our kids are in school as much as we possibly can um you know 91% say they've been able to adjust to this uh because they're in school now school is wildly different than what it was last year at this time but uh still seeing very positive numbers uh my children's needs are being met emotionally in their school um pretty strong support there my children are able to regulate their emotions um and we're we have some students that are having some difficulty and that's something that we you know need to continue to address at all levels it's a concern from kids it's a concern from parents and that's K through2 and that's you know certainly not exclusive to the chesher public schools but um part and parcel with what we're dealing with right now as a as a country compared to the start of last year my children been able to maintain connection with some peers um yes obviously the connectedness is is much better when all students are attending every day uh compared to last year my children seem to be enjoying school and it's interesting that we have 19% saying more and again you know what we're trying to do is identify what is it about this experience that's working for these one in every five kids and we need to try and build that into our future the amount of communication I re received from my child school is just right at 90% um so that's really strong number I think if we start cranking up much more this you know too little group May shrink but this too much group is is probably going to grow so we're I think we're doing a pretty good job with the the parent communication if you as a parent have a concern if you fell into that two- little car category reach out to us let us know what you know where you think we're falling short obviously we'd like to support everybody but uh let us know the amount of work given to my children has been um just right 85% uh 11% considering it too little so the top responses again you know nothing at this time 59% of our parents said that time management social emotional understanding content and curriculum uh again aligning with what experienced at the high school level uh most frequent comments uh kada six or k to 8 uh grateful for teachers and administrators support for the in-person model um and then focusing on mental health concerns seven of the you know hundred hundreds of responses so our student responses from the elementary level in uh in Middle School compared to the last year connectedness um less connected to my peers and school friends um so it's interesting though again that 26% are saying more connected um so that's really an interesting data point for us that we're going to drill down further into to try and learn a little bit more about that compared to last year um again you know connectedness with teachers at this time so um about the same or more is over 70% compared to the start of last year I enjoy school again 25% saying more roughly and so this will teach us something about how we move forward for what is it about that this experience that we can you know build into the future for ourselves and for our kids make school um even more engaging I feel like I belong in my classroom and school Community um the vast majority n 95 96% do um clearly we we obviously we always want all these things to be 100 but we when they're not we try and look into where where are the individuals that aren't connected and we try and connect into them uh I get to talk to my teachers individually you know again very high numbers and I I give our teachers so much credit for the work they're doing to be able to make these numbers possible I need help with and these are our students again three through eight we did not give the survey to second and first graders um but three through 8 time management the vast majority indicating that you know I I don't need help or at least not the vast majority but at least about half understanding curriculum and content um and managing my feelings and emotions so if nothing else these surveys have really given us a consistent picture about where the needs are time management supporting curriculum content feelings and emotions and that's you know the time management I think if we can do a good job of really addressing that Kad it k to2 then it helps the other two and so that's what we're we're focused on at this point how do we build that in more for our students uh so that they can feel better about their time management and hopefully address those other two items uh the last item I have on my presentation is that you know we're required to present the district profile and performance report given the given the amount of information I've already covered tonight and I know I knew that it would be kind of late I at least just want to show people where to get this information um it'll be a very cursory review if you go to edite which is the dis the Statewide data warehouse for Education um there's a a b link on the Le hand side profile and performance reports and so if you click on that you can find all districts um any you know all districts in Connecticut and our most recent report is from the 201819 school year it provides a tremendous amount of information um information about the uh student enrollment and race chronic absenteeism and suspensions um who are our Educators um by Race by by of you know by role that they play in The District you know this uh as you know this 1819 our numbers in terms of um nonwhite teachers in our school system have grown and that's something we're we're trying to work on as we focus on on uh equity and cultural awareness um actively recruiting uh teachers of color instruction and resources um how are our students performing uh where do we spend our money um of course the state didn't add enter that in but um District profile and performance uh reports you know our performance is um certainly grown exponentially over the last several years and um this is a real point of Pride for us how do our students do on the physical fitness assessment the national assessment of educational progress um we look at that that's that's uh not identified for chesher per se but it's a Statewide U performance and then for your cohort graduation um meeting benchmarks for college readiness and AP performance um how did we do on the Next Generation accountability index that that numberers improved annual um so the uh then we have information about uh parental Outreach and efforts to reduce racial ethnic and economic isolation so individuals can um go to that Ed site as I was mentioning and click on the link uh on the left hand side and and get that information or there's a myriad of other information about all school districts in Connecticut I use it regularly you see it in my budget presentations so um you know certainly if there's more that people or more that the board would like to see on that certainly we can go deeper into that probably on another night um but I just wanted to at least show you that and and kind of give you an overview of that report uh if you need more information uh the last thing I have is Vin mentioned this in his report given our um Food Service uh challenges this year um that Monday CHS hybrid student meal pickup will be relocated to DOD um it's still at the same time 3:30 PM um we usually pick up at at the high school but um hybrid pickup will be at dot on Monday Wednesday night uh I think Vin talked about it already remote meal pickup for the next week will be reloc located to DOD at an early time due to the early dismissal on Wednesday pickup will start at 2 and run to 4:30 uh the Wednesday pickup will be in bulk form such as gallons of milk instead of Half Pints uh if anybody who picked up food from us in the spring and there were many um that took advantage of that opportunity um either for themselves or for others they care about you can certainly come and pick that food up we would encourage you to do so um but the Google survey uh sign up for the Wednesday pickup in details will follow so we ask that you know just keep your eyes peeled we will send that information out um to sign up if if people are interested again we encourage you to do so um for yourself or somebody else you might might know that would appreciate like a gallon of milk or other things so we are reimbursed on that from the the government it it should go to people who need it um and we encourage you to get out and and do that thank you all righty thank you Jeff uh I'm sure there are questions uh who has questions s superintendent where do we start I I have a general observation so the Sur responses for the high school how many respondents Jee roughly uh um over students and 600 about 600 parents I think it was uh what seems like a healthy response I would expect the more parental responses but the reason why I ask is uh one of the letters we received from uh a group of parents I believe some of those parents are also part of a petition that's out there sure asking for you know improvements to in general the co learning at the high school for lack of a better summary and there's about 118 signatures there and you know there's 144 responses and parents at the high school I would have expected that the the you know the categories that were orange would be bigger based on responses I it just seems like the disparity to me that the the parent responses don't reflect the sentiment in that petition of 118 parents well you know I I would indicate that you know Mary did have several meetings five I think with different parents that averaged about 25 a clip we we always as I said I think 14 times through my presentation we always want to get better we always want to do better um and I think frankly I mean that's part of why our teachers are experiencing so much frustration this year all of us have very high bars for ourselves um and this year is different you know the the opportunities are different the challenges are different um it's not what it always has been um and that's really frustrating nevertheless we all want to continue to improve and if if if something's not working for parents or kids we want to be a part of trying to fix that and so I would encourage any parent any grade level to reach out to their school principal to reach out to me reach out to Marlene you know on instructional issues you know we can definitely we want to always be better so you know reach out to us and I also appreciate that parents may have concerns at different levels about you know structures or whatever but universally they appreciate the job that our teachers and our administrators are doing and and that's you know they've been really respectful in in criticism uh that I've had or constructive feedback and I tell you that for our administrative team is is really appreciated during a time that's been really tough for everybody I I know we didn't read the letters in in great a lot of detail they will be as part of minutes on they published so folks can certainly read more detail but I want to I think you've answered it indirectly earlier but there was uh from the from Miss CTS and the other parents there was an idea um that uh they want to see educational stret return what it was hey I agree 100% I want all the kids back in school it's not feasible right now but I think what they're getting at is trying to alternate the cohorts every other day um and what they're saying is mean you know have have um each Cort would have two or three iners days each week um Sun seems to do it what working for them I know they have different circumstances and then you know lastly you know they don't really understand the reason behind the deep cleaning on Wednesdays it doesn't provide a deeper cleaning for cour heart too at this time yeah we don't we don't really do a deeper cleaning on Wednesday I think that's kind of a a misunderstanding I'm glad you brought that up Tony it's it's not a deep cleaning day it's a day that all of our classes meet um remotely for a much shorter period of time and one of the angles we were looking to take on that was addressing some of that time management and emotional support during that period so I you know I I'm glad you mentioned that and I want to clarify that I and I think that you know having three days on on site in school we you know we've got this earlier in the school year and not too long ago today is it safe to say really that the only that's prevented that right now is simply the the situation with covid and maybe labor or we're just not not we can't go every other day or three days a week for for some groups and two for the others yeah I think what it is is an effort to make sure that all kids get a connection three days a week and we could only do that if we're meeting every day or if we're meeting with every period on that Wednesday uh with all students um and so you know of course we'll go back will continue to look at it and there's no I haven't heard any high school in Connecticut that said yeah this is the Magic Bullet everybody's everybody says this is the best um they all have drawbacks they all have benefits um we still want to improve where we are um but this is a a real unique circumstance that we're managing got it I uh uh I'll address the teacher letter at the very end just I read that one paragraph it's very telling but Adam I think you had your first question at 951 followed by Andrew or actually I say okay yeah uh uh I'll I'll save my second question because it sounds like maybe you're going to address it Tony so uh I'll I'll hold off on that one um so for my question um was there was there was one question in the 3 through eight survey um and you know we had we had before Co we had spent an awful lot of time on uh social and emotional learning and and being able to to to to stay in contact with the kids and making sure they're doing okay and talking about you know well one is one is too many and there was one question in there where it said do you do you feel like you fit in or something like that there were there were it looked like a decent amount of kids who said never uh and I don't know what the number was on that I didn't I couldn't quite tell what it was but um I just wanted to to point that out I'm sure that stuck out to to you and your staff as well but I just I thought that that that was a little bit of a little bit alarming and I just wanted to to point that out that to to have any uh child in that age range Say Say Never I mean I suppose maybe at the middle school it you know it's a time of transition and everything that you might feel that way but it's just to have someone think you know individually without prompting they're saying never that just I thought that to be a little alarming so I just want that so it it was um the question is I feel like I belong to my classroom in school Community the response being um 60 95 96.4% said always sometimes um the remainder had never is their response um because it's an anonymous survey I don't know exactly who those individuals are but we always want that to be zero covid or otherwise uh to your point so yeah we we work with our mental health Team and teachers to try and find out like you know we teach people about Marlene and I were just having a conversation today about uh QPR training and Mental Health First Aid where people learn signs to identify people that are not feeling connected and that's more important now uh than ever and I know Marlene kind of hinted at that when she talked about the the evaluation program so absolutely I'm glad you brought it up and was this the type of survey where they could um uh write in additional comments as well or was it just answering questions yeah so there are written comments in there somewhere yes okay that so it's it's similar to that um the 1819 survey that we're all familiar with it's is it similar to that or is this a little less detailed less detailed okay because we're we're you know that's a school climate um survey right this is really you know it's meant to look at a a lot about academics as well okay which we you know don't necessarily ask during the climate survey that the state has us do every two years gotcha thank you thank you Adam Andrew you got a question this is for uh Jeff and I think Marlene also you know I've received emails and from people that I've talked to so the reason why we can't alternate three days two days between the two cohorts at Treasure High School is because we want to keep Wednesdays as a day where everyone can meet that so that's what we've been that's what we've been doing all class yeah I mean to me it makes sense that you you know if my daughter was to go to school three days this week and then two the next it would give that in classroom time that everyone is pretty much begging the district for um I understand that there's constraints but could we look at that and could we at least maybe make that a survey question to see if that's something that they would rather forfeit that one day of everyone doing remote and touching face together in exchange for another day of in-classroom learning on an alternating schedule yeah yeah I mean we definitely evaluate that um and I think it's a concern for some do we you know certainly we want to try and gain more information and so you know we'll we'll definitely look at that um and see if we we should be moving there okay thanks Andrew uh Tim you had a question thanks Tony uh with regard to the Norton letter it struck me uh really hard and I'm glad that this is really I'm speaking to the teachers right now I'm glad that they spoke up it's something that I've been thinking about for months now but at the same time I just want to say to you Jeff that I do feel like you've been making good decisions in conjunction with ches Perot and Mora Esposito and so right now I mean I I support you uh fully on the decisions that you're making and they've it's been incredibly tough but I mean I'm not the health expert and neither are you but you're using I feel like you're using good judgment in collaboration with chess forgot and whoever else it might be um so I just wanted to say that as difficult as it is because I you know I feel fortunate that I'm employed and I get to work from home um but that there's there is another thing that I'm wondering about in relation to that as you said you're thinking about or the state is thinking of modeling peing in mid January so let's say nothing happens next week we continue on you know no no Earth shattering new information or metrics come out but we continue heading toward January and you decide you want at that point or some point in the future you do think that the best decision is remote learning 100% all the schools do you have and I I kind of touched on this before um do we have any information that so it opens up a whole new can of worms last March was relatively easy from the perspective that you know Governor Lamont said all right we're shutting down the state everybody go home because we were all afraid you know I was afraid like everybody's about to die I didn't know what was going to happen but now it's more peace meal so if we did shut down the schools you have not just high schoolers who looking just at their age generally are okay on their own even got you know I've got mine my first grader and I'm working at home but we have homes without the parents do you have any could you put in a survey uh you know what's the percentage of parents that work from home where something like that would be feasible because if they're not working at home then we probably need to have some sort of discussion about an alternative plan whatever that might be sure I think what makes a survey a little bit more challenging is the whole vuka thing we've talked talked about that you know for some people I'm not working from home today but January 5th I don't know um and we're experiencing that with some of our teachers uh that you know I everything was fine I was coming to work everything's great my district all of a sudden went remote and now I have my little kids at home like you're talking about and now we got to work something out and so we're trying to support those teachers what I will say is that if you know absent a full State shutdown we're g parents are going to have problems but I I can't make decisions about whether or not schools are open based on whether or not parents are going to have problems I have to make decisions about whether or not schools are open based on what's safe for our students and staff in the building and if we make the decision based on the metrics in in advice of our medical professionals that the best thing is to go remote the next step is how do we support those parents that are in that difficult spot um I I already acknowledged that we play a role in the community um and we're here to support those people that I would think at that point it would be predominantly essential workers that are not at home how do we support those people and so I you know we work closely with the why um to to explore things like that we ran our own daycare for our teachers in August at one point so using a class from the high school I mean that wouldn't work obviously in the in the future situation but we are you know we will work on helping them but that can't be the metric we use to determine whether or not and I don't think you're suggesting that but I want to be clear to people yeah you know that particularly our staff that's not how we make these decisions yeah no and I I don't want you to make the decision based on that but I do um I mean it is part of the it is part of a broader discussion absolutely that's why I included on that slide as a consideration yeah okay all right thank you Jeff sure thanks Tim uh Faith you had a question and then Adam after you um just real quick first of all you know Jeff I I'm go in on you know the state has those Tuesday Morning um State Department of Education public yeah Department of Public Health calls and I listen to them and you're doing exactly what they're asking you to do um and so I listening to what the state officials are saying if I could reassure the community there's nothing untoward going on here so um you know you're following their protocols their recommendations so um I support you in that and then the other thing before I get into like my big concerns um you know I just over with Amy O'Brien at uh dittle and I just cannot emphas just listening to her and again to the community the dir of substitute options out there or people who the substitute pool the the shallowness of that that is g to K that's going to shut us down I'm amazed at the creativity of the principles of our elementary schools shifting you know uh sub here sub there intern here intern there it's dire and as Amy Amy says um you know if we shut down it's mostly because we don't have the staff so um just make that point but with regard to the the high school situation um you know there was a lot of positive in that in that survey but I also saw it was going pretty quickly so I'll have to go back and look at it yeah there were some very large blocks of red flag areas and I get concerned when I see that and and and the emphasis is on the positive these W these families who signed that survey put their name out there they were concerned they they don't understand why the Collegiate model even after all this time why this not that and maybe maybe a proper expl explanation would help but um you know I I've been in touch with some of them and all they're saying is you know why can't we get as we'll never be normal we can't go back they understand that but can we get as close to normal as possible and and whatever normal looks like and that may be the alternating cohort days but um you know there are families there who've got freshmen who don't even know who Dr Gad is is that's scary um you know it's so there's no connection being made it's just it's running deep and so I just hope that these concerns are not just dismissed that you know we've got this big blue Block in our you know pie wedge in our survey and I'm not saying you will right but um you know it just you know there's that concern and then the continuity which I heard is improving you know the the teachers are getting these kids checked in and and and following them which hadn't necessarily been happening with consistency before so you know I'm just saying um you know I I I like your the fact that you are saying you will take a look at that especially perhaps just going to three you know alternating days and and looking at that Wednesday Gap in and and maybe reassessing that that's that's yeah yeah we would definitely look at it and I appreciate Andrew you know suggesting a a potential survey to because I I could tell you um dealing with the circumstances we've been dealing with it wouldn't shock me if I made an announcement tomorrow that we're going you know to that alternating Day schedule and we have a petition of 100 parents that says yes yeah but I don't want my kid in the building with that cohort are you jeopardizing their health so I I think it you know we have to look at instructionally um from an educational continuity perspective what's best and we have that consideration we have the the consideration of how are our kids doing what are what are our kids telling us what are our parents telling us and you know we need to go back and and dig deeper into that to see how we can you know come up with a plan that we we do want the smallest ugly slices of pie that we can have you know is a a good metaphor for Thanksgiving you know uh but so yeah we we always want to do better and and we have to that's that's why we survey you know and again I I don't know a lot of other districts that are doing that um that we've surveyed every student 3 through 12 and every parent K through 12 um because we do care and we want to improve and I want to make that clear to all not just you I think you guys know that and know me well enough by now but for our families too um that we want to do always want can always do better thank you thanks faith and I think you had another question yes thank you um uh Jeff you had mentioned the the new deadline for remote learning um when the school year began I think we were around 15% and then it kind of uh some people had migrated back into in-person learning um what is our uh no what does our percentage look like going through uh January 2 uh I don't know exactly through January 2 because right now um parents are making decisions that would start roughly November 30th through January 2 oh I'm sorry I thought the lock in was today or yesterday or no they still have I think till tomorrow um and if somebody said to us on Monday you know I'm going remote I'll be out through January we wouldn't fight him on that um at any day next week to be frank with you but for planning purposes you know it's really helpful to know um as soon as we can okay so but right now is it is you think it's going to go above 15 or Original start or is it is it is it trending down or up as do you know I mean I don't it it fluctuates kind of wild even within a building so we were having this conversation today with our administrators and you think like w there's a lot of talk about people going remote whatever and somebody was saying I literally just got an email for two people to come back from remote so it it it's kind of it's not really clearly trending but if anything I would say we started 15% like you said we dipped down to about 10% a little north of 10% and we're probably trending back toward that 15% right and so I guess so piggybacking on that um because each school is different the percentage is different for each School uh have you thought about centralizing the remote learning because I know at at least you know my my son goes to Norton school and it seems like uh uh uh one teacher look like they they have to do both and the other two are just teaching in person or whatever and and so is there any way where you could centralize it so you have one teacher just teaching all the remote kids and then having the other teach you know I don't know because I know that there was some demand for that at the beginning of the year and I wasn't sure if that's an option if that screws things up uh with you know with all the other schools but you know I just wasn't sure if that was something that was even possible yeah I mean it's definitely possible um and we are looking at is there a place to add if we're going to add a teacher here or there um to do that there certainly there's a fiscal impact on that which we would manage um I think the other impact is and the and the one that's probably more critical for our parents is that you're no longer with the teacher you've had for 12 weeks and are going to this teacher and that never sounds too appetizing for for parents for good reason um and so you know back in August when you know nobody knew anything not that we know everything now but we know more back in August we thought you know all right we have very small percentages relatively where I can't afford to assign a remote teacher at every grade level we didn't we don't really have any we don't have a teacher dedicated to remote Learners and so as time is evolved that number hasn't really changed and and frankly there was pretty good hypothesis that come end of September end of October at the latest we'd all be doing remote learning anyway and so you know it was we wouldn't be thinking about kids changing teachers and now we're kind of far down the path to ask a family you know we could ask them do you want to change and we are looking at grade levels where maybe we have more remote Learners or certain buildings where Maybe we could facilitate that but um not sure that it's in the best interest of our kids to to just force them all over into that and you're Notting that but this kind of our thinking right and and and you know the at the presentation we saw a few weeks ago know not to knock it it was a very Rosy presentation of of how teachers were were teaching kids and remote kids at the same time and I I can just imagine how difficult that can be so I yeah I just was wondering if that was a consideration but I you know kudos to the teachers who are able to I guess use both sides of their brain at the same time and uh and and be able to to do that um yeah retrosp great difficulty retrospectively showing those people that we did is is almost a problem because you know there there are only a handful of people that can make it look as easy as they do um the vast majority of us like my s included you know would have a lot of trouble um and so you know they're doing their absolute best to make it work but I want to tell you you know I the thing that keeps me up at night is not covid it's the mental health and well-being of our staff because the the challenges they face are so different than anything they've ever faced and they have astronomically high expectations of themselves which is typically a good thing when you know what you're doing but if you had an high expectation of me as a marathon runner I would be very frustrated very quick you know it's it's so it's so different and it's so challenging that that's what keeps me up at night how they're how they're managing that and frankly it's hard like they're not managing it well and we need to figure out how do we better support them in that I mean that's part of what John and I were talking about today um we need to do that better and I just you know aside from saying you know it's like let's everybody take a week off which isn't really an option you know I we have to look at how do we better support them and and coming up with real actionable strategies um so that's what we're working on right now that that's good to hear thank you because there see definitely seems to be Lings yeah it's not a treasure problem either right right I'm sure sure like this isn't easy all of a sudden for teachers in Meridan or other towns I mean it's wicked hard um and so you know everybody's doing the best they can and I'm still really you know Rumblings are not you know I'm still really proud of what our teachers are doing and I you know although I think I would disagree with some of the um citations or or thinking um in the Norton letter I totally understand where it's coming from absolutely thanks Chef timy had a comment then I had something yeah um just on that topic uh I just wanted to say thank you to uh it is very difficult for the teachers I saw it firsthand last week my daughter was uh out she didn't have covid but we kept her out for 4 days she went for a test and just the interaction frankly it was kind of painful as she was sitting there trying to make sure the speaker was working her teacher couldn't hear it and her teacher was incredibly patient but even when it's only you know you get to two minutes and she has other students to talk to it's really difficult I mean I I feel like it's got to be nerve-wracking being a teacher trying to make this stuff work so I really really appreciate um what they what they are doing and what they're going through um and the reason that I actually had the comment I just wanted to say that uh I just feel I I agree with you on the point about there's a number of different factors to consider on the use of Wednesdays for in-person learning at the high school I just feel like on balance the in-person learning is better than the remote um you know I think for when you get to be a senior you're in college it does make sense but for those freshmen I'm suspecting they're more like eighth graders or younger kids than a senior sort of moving on to adulthood um so so my my preference would be to move that to in-person learning and that's it thank you Tony thank you to no worries I mean this I know we're running long but it's an important topic and unfortunately there's a lot going on so you know this is a chance to get a chance to talk about this stuff the the one thing I want I uh you know we didn't read the whole more letter detail not going to just for time conin but you know it will be it will be in the me minutes I do encour encourage people to read it it's again I thought they did a great job just for reference I think there were 38 teachers that signed this letter from Norton and they are obviously very proud obviously being the Blue Ribbon school but like all our teachers as Jeff mentioned you know they have very high expectations of themselves so you know they um you know I read it and you know it's it's it's obvious that you know they're not able to do the things they normally do preo which was you know contining to sword a confetti throwing you know all the tighten the community stuff they're doing is on hold of Co but you know what they're saying is in light of all this and and everything that's been put in place with CPS and the schools support current learning that they feel they have the tools and a know how to translate into a remote scenario which is I think is very positive you know so I think it's a great letter um you know but right now at Norton unless I'm mistaken unless the data was uh I didn't see all of it Norton is not at a highrisk situation where it's on the brink of going full remote if I if I had a you know worst case scenario if it ever happened if we had a further outbreaks some more classrooms at Highland they cross thres but I don't think Norton's in a dangerous situation in terms of covid spread yet but they're not even saying that um they're looking around what's going on in communities and other school districts and the cases and in Connecticut you know it's interesting they they say um you know what is CPS doing the flat and the curve and I I think it's obvious what we're trying to do and and you know per CC guidance and SD and so forth I think it's being handled fairly well what I would for me the question I have is what is the chur Community doing to flatten the curve and I'm going to read a paragraph in this letter which I think is very um it's very important and I and I want to put them on the spot but they felt compelled to write this which is you know quote teachers are relying on a community around them to keep them healthy with the uncontrolled spread in town it seems as though the Good Will to keep us safe is gone in the community um college students from out of state are returning home in droves community members continue to go to bars and restaurants and hold hold small intimate gatherings in their homes these are new super spreading events and you know the other the other point I touch upon which we talked about Labor is you know there's a staffing shorts persistent um you know despite pleasing jokes while you're pitching in you know it that's another real risk so I I don't think they're saying that there's a dire situation in Norton but looking at all everything going on around them and you know adults spreading the the the virus you know the wor effect is going to affect them and obviously their students so I think that the way we keep this going is the community does what it needs to do to to to flatten the curve and keep the spread low I thought that was very you know an important point they made there is there much very much concern I think as any teacher is in our school system about what's happening around them and the other thing I want to add too is uh you know there was one one other school or actually some U parents I wondered you know is it safe to even have substitutes in the schools particularly College interns coming in because the the age range of spreading is 20 29 can we do without them um or you was they worried about you know a intern or substitute getting it and spreading it across C let on outside the classroom I don't know if it's that simple um you know but we can't mandate testing of folks coming into the classroom I don't believe so is there any concerns Jeff with you know uh labor shortage and increasing sub com to the classroom and that being an Avenue for potentially covid getting into the classrooms no because we we haven't seen transmission it is a problem if an individual comes into the building and is positive and now I have to quarantine a boatload of people that they were in contact with because they were in different rooms all day that that would be the bigger concern I would have sure um but again everybody you know we we've quarantined well over a thousand people those tests aren't coming back positive now not every individual gets tested right it's quarantined but most do um because they want to make sure they don't have it and those tests are coming back negative so I'm I'm more concerned about if they're positive how many people are they going to take down with them by being you know quar I think that's for everybody's yeah yeah uh just one last thing I again I think this is you know every person in our school system and certainly all teachers not just Norton but uh you know again you know they're saying we want to be well enough to teach in the winter we want to be well enough to teach in person we want to be well enough to be our famili holiday season we want to be proactive I mean this is the I give all our teachers so much credit you know I it's not an easy job during the best of times Al during Co get through all of this you know as hard as it is they're they're still putting students interest above their own they're putting there's safety to help students you know there we have a incredible Workforce U so I I want to just read about the board M say you know we I thank you I think all our teachers our community knows the good work you're doing I haven't heard a single bad comment I heard a lot of PR Praise of our teachers administrators I know that the whole situation is not ideal but um you know we we do hold everyone in high regard you know I ask that you know stick with us you know keep that Spirit up our students are benefiting greatly from what you're doing and and I we all appreciate the fact that you're being proactive on this so you I hope um it sounds like number one no we're not going to go full remote anytime soon before Thanksgiving obviously to recap uh tonight um that could change right as time goes on but there are no plans to do that before Thanksgiving um no plans yet to after Thanksgiving it's going to depend on what the numers and the data tells tells tells us from our health official Etc Pro likely could happen in January if Co Peaks but we're got have to plan for that so I would hope in the meantime that you know appreciate you talking with John and I'm sure you're talking with the teachers of Norton you know to to kind of hear them out a little bit uh but we certainly support all of them and um I don't think there's anything we could really do on this tonight but um again I do like what the board is saying MERS as consensus is that you know I think you're doing a great job Jeff it's it's not easy you know if I felt that or saw that you weren't following State guidelines or working outside the guidelines or perhaps leaning down down a path that we're not comfortable with you know I would definitely call it out but that's not the case um so I I I don't know how to make everybody 100% happy uh we can never do that in the best of times but what we continue doing is you know keep hearing from folks so the good news is we are hearing from folks we being the Board of Ed CH Public Schools whether it's parents students teachers or employees keep it coming because oftentimes you know there's some good ideas there and it's it's good for us to to to see that feedback to ensure that you know we're we're looking at every angle so I appreciate everyone contacting us and appreciate everyone tonight uh sticking around at 10:30 so that being said are there any other questions for the superintendent report at this time see Adam Adam all right yes Adam I want to open up the Genie bottle just on the last question you just want to open up a bottle go ahead there is only water in this red cup um uh Jeff vaccinations yeah uh I know that um uh ches Bott had was talking about that several months ago that there was a plan in place are teachers considered uh first line uh responders like is that something that they could be offered and I'm assuming that it wouldn't be mandatory that they would have to be vaccinated is there anything about that uh you know no guidance at all yeah so um cheser Cott is working with the state on dissemination guidelines and really it's it's the highest priority or or high-risk folks healthcare workers um ultimately yes educators are are toward the top of that list um you know unless the state law required it you know I I don't foresee us mandating that people get that I think that's a a big ask um at this point with a a new vaccine you know we we only ask that when the state law requires it so you know same of students so that's that's kind of where we are at this point okay there we go thanks thank you soon as there are no other questions uh we have no old business uh we have no news bus new business I don't have a a chairperson update other than you know we'll coordinate the board of aded that uh set some meetings up December and January talk about uh C options as those details materialized but beyond that uh before I call to adjourn just remind those that might still be up if you are you deserve a medal um next board uh committee meeting is actually policy committee on uh Tuesday December 1st at 6:30 we have a curriculum committee meeting on December uh 14th at 7 pm and we have a December 17th uh board ofed business meeting at 7:30 pm.

just kind of preview our agenda for this presentation tonight so you know what to expect and then I'll set a few uh reminders before we begin um we'll begin with our superintendent giving an update as to what's happening at the county level uh with the rates and then a timeline that I'll be sharing in terms of our return of staff and students back to our campuses based on what superintendent mon student shares from there Mr cologne will then be sharing our proposed hybrid schedule that he has worked closely with our teachers to develop when students are able to return back uh to inperson instruction we then be followed by Dr Henry giving an update on the survey data that we've received thus far from our parents as you know we have surveyed our parents and she will be giving an update in terms of what we've learned from their their feedback and then finally I will turn over to our director of curriculum instruction Mr Hernandez I know he has a team with with him as well uh that will be presenting on some of the great work that we've done to continue our Outreach efforts to our families and our communities uh before I turn over to Mr matsuda just a reminder uh for the flow and for those who are watching us via live stream I kindly request for our board if you could hold your questions comments till the end of the presentation and then of course our team is more than happy to take the time to answer whatever questions you do have um having said all that I'm going to go ahead and now turn it over to Mr matsuda who will kick off our presentation thank you Dr freed and uh good evening everybody uh especially to our our new CBO Nancy nen I know that uh you're coming from um other districts and of course ahsd is a very special place with a very special culture I'm sure you uh you are seeing that and especially hearing about all these wonderful stories with our kindness matters and it's just that's just the tip of the iceberg because we have so many wonderful caring people here as you know and I think that's uh uh something that really Drew you to our district um so we we are also I mean despite the fact that we cover 30,000 students across five cities we are a district that really believes in democracy as well I think you you know that we are a democracy district with 15 schools and what that means is that our board and our cabinet knows that we serve our constituents our parents and our students and it's not the other way around and we've listened uh very carefully to all of our constituents regarding the return to schools and as such that um we have decided to postpone the December 1st return to school day for teachers and the December 7th Day for the classified folks the board will be having a special meeting on December 1st to determine the U the calendar towards the end of the year as um but but having said that I do want to acknowledge the the fact that we believe our schools are safe um and I do want to also acknowledge that uh since March our food service workers have been on the front lines since the summer when we did have the surge our custodians came back and really since the early fall we have many of our uh CCA members our front office staff our counselors and of course their administrators um really um who have come back all of the district office is back as well I do also want to point out too that um superintendants have been meeting regularly with Dr Clayton shell and you may have seen his name in the papers because he is the chief medical officer for the County of Orange so we we have um met we meet every Friday all the superintendant and uh the discussion of course was about the purple tier what that means and I'm sure that you guys do recognize that the purple tier once you're in the purple tier we cannot open to schools for students students however the schools that are already open which is most of Orange County um can remain open and after learning about that the uh Clayton Chell Dr CH asked the superintendent uh for a poll a survey uh this was just past Friday of whether any of the schools currently open would close and none of them are closing including three of our feeder districts and virtually all of the districts surrounding us so they currently have students and staff um you know in some sort of hybrid model now having said all that we um really believe and working very uh closely with all of our constituents and as Mr Grant Schuster said that we have done that we've been very careful about every decision that we've made in collaboration with all of our constituent groups so and we're very proud of that because we are very very close to all of our people our parents and our students and while we don't agree on a lot of these things and we know much of the country is split on this we do um I believe we've made the best decisions on behalf of the safety of our students in staff so I um once again um as before I return it back to jiren just want to to reiterate the fact that the December 1st uh date has been postponed to be determined and the board will be having a special meeting on that day to uh determine the rest of the calendar so again want to thank all of our folks um all of our employees um and especially our teachers who have been so amazingly creative and Innovative and um I mean it you and the teachers know it's not just them as you heard from the kindness award are classified our custodians everybody in this district has worked so hard prioritizing students and families feeding them taking care of their social emotional needs and taking care of each other and uh that's been my message that uh when before we can take care of others we really need to take care of ourselves first and I want to put out on behalf of the board uh a heartfelt thank you to all of our employees for doing just that so Dr free thank you Mr M and just so the board can see here's a visual of what Mr matsudo just referred to so when we meet on December 1st I know we'll talk more in depth about uh the the plans moving forward um you'll notice the 2B determines are the groups that we next in line to return back uh via our phase or stag approach um what you also see is the January 4th fth the January 6th and January 11th stes italicized the reason that is italicized is as Mr matsuda had indicated because we are in the purple tier right now if that remains or we don't have the two weeks of clearance in the red tier before those dates we are not able to return our students so this will all be dependent upon the guidance we get from the county and the state in terms of what those dates might look like moving forward again we had that there as a visual for you just to remind you in terms of when we were looking to bring back students had we remained in the red tier but now that we're not uh this could change based on how the rates progress throughout our County and the guidance that we receive what I would like to do now is I'm G to turn over to Mr cologne he has done great work with our teacher input group and our opening schools task force they have been working closely to revise um our hybrid our proposed hybrid schedules so he's going to share a little bit of the work that that we've done and that what we're looking to do should we return or when we return uh to some type of in-person instruction these are the schedules we're looking to to to to use moving forward so Mr clone I'll go and turn it over to you great thank you Dr freed um and as Dr freed said you know a lot of work has already been done I want to thank our opening school's task force who met all the way through the summer to really prepare for the start of school um coming up with the different models both in terms of a hybrid model as well as a as a virtual model um and as everything has gone as we've received new guidance we also have adapted and adjusted uh and improved our models that we initiated uh back in July and so um as as we've done with um with the virtual model um we also um have improved our hybrid model uh if and when we return to inperson instruction and so what you have in front of you is the high school changes that we are proposing um so if you look at the uh the top of the of the page uh you will see that we have added a Friday synchronous day uh from our original model So currently our proposed model is that on Monday it would be a synchronous day for all classes on Friday it will be a synchronous day for all classes this also allows for professional learning for our teachers as well as a late start for our for our staffs at the school sites um school would start at 9:10 and would go through to 2:35 so that is Monday and Friday and they're synchronous which means that students are at home and teachers are teaching virtually um for Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday uh it Remains the Same as we have proposed which is to divide our student population into into thirds this will allow us for an increase um safety of our students to ensure social distancing um and for and to allow for smaller class sizes so on Tuesday we would invite our cohort a to the campuses on Wednesday we would invite our cohort B to the campuses and on uh Thursday we would invite our cohort C to the campuses these are for students families who choose uh for in-person instruction um we also have a live cheick in which is required by uh uh the state that we check in with all of our students every single day so the live check-in will continue to be second period for our high school students um if you notice the schedule this is actually a uh a early release schedule which means that students would start school at 7:55 and would end school at 1:00 and they would do grab and go lunch and we'd go home from there uh the afternoon would be asynchronous so again this is Monday uh this is Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday for in-person instruction so this is the hybrid uh proposed schedule for uh the high schools for the junior highs the proposed schedule again um we've added Friday as a synchronous schedule from our original schedule uh and it allows for Teacher professional learning in the morning and then for school to start at 8:55 this is virtual and end at 2:35 again virtual so this is Monday and Friday um for in-person instruction again we would invite our cohort a students onto our campus on Tuesday our uh cohort B students on Wednesday and our cohort C students on Thursday um for the junior highs um we would go from 7:55 uh to 12:30 p.m.

is that what you're telling us you put them in the wrong columns thanks thanks for pointing that out i appreciate that i i was wondering why kick a guy while he's dead i didn't try to i was trying to understand mr taylor honestly i think this is wonderful that we're not gonna raise money from these things not many offer a level f that's why it's so few okay yeah this is this is wonderful but we're able to recoup money off of this stuff so does anybody else on the board have any questions or comments have we used cornerstone before we have not this will be their first time either first yep is this the first time we've talked to multiple references and they're going to be here predicting your approval next week to collect we graded these they do when they come on site okay so they give us a breakdown and we know and from past allotments we found out that most of ours will fall on a b and the second most is an a and then we have a few that fall in the other categories that's awesome we still have coming we still have a supply after we sell these we still have supply yeah we use this money to allow us to refresh devices more frequently and so this lets us refresh student devices every three years this pays for that fourth year and our cycle of replacement cost so it's kind of just everything i'll bring back middle school next year because they'll be mixed up these are mainly high school devices i like the effort to get additional revenues from assets that are sitting there needing to move on any other questions or comments do we have any uh motion i move that we accept the bid from cornerstone technologies for a minimum amount of 202 500 for the sale of surplus ipads do i hear a second second thank you mr alexander thank you mrs toomey all those in favor please signify by saying i i opposed the eyes have it 5-0 thank you next we're moving on to consideration of bids for the emergency operations center dr bill long assistant superintendent thank you mr taylor for your presentations [Applause] thank you that's a tough act to follow i did my bid packets one through five and didn't rearrange them by anything so uh try to follow along with me instead of having a mixed up numbers yeah i know since you're taking a crack at him he just brought us money and you're asking us to spend money so right now he's our favorite well i'll work with him and i'll sing the abcs we can get those right next time and he wins he's the favorite so wow learn to keep my mouth closed [Laughter] so on november 10th of 2020 at 2 o'clock we open bids for the emergency operations center along with a aecom hunt and access art architecture and jim goalie is here tonight from aecom hunt to answer your hard questions we opened actually we opened 29 bids for five different bid packages so we're really pleased by the turnout i think that's the largest turnout that we've had since i've been here and i we feel really good about the the value that we got from our bid packages um tonight we're asking the board to approve bit bids for bid packages one through five bid pack at number one is for site work with dave o'mara for in the amount of nine 832 dollars bid packet number two is for general trades with fh passion for two million fifty nine thousand nine hundred dollars bid packet number three is for roofing with amos exteriors for 230 dollars bid packet number four is for mechanical plumbing and fire suppression for one million one hundred and twenty thousand five hundred dollars and bid packet number five is for electrical and technology with banta electric i didn't say mechanical plumbing and fire suppression is with lehman right yeah and then sorry and then uh the electrical and technology is with banta for 750 715 dollars the total amount is four million nine hundred ninety four thousand one hundred fifteen dollars we have um uh a a bond issue that we sold uh or that the board approved a while ago when we did the 1028 hearing we also have a contribution from the white river township fire protection board so we have enough money to cover the cost of the the construction and the soft cost of the construction we expect to start construction at the beginning of december of 2020 and look to have it completely wrapped up by next december of 2021 thank you dr long i'll go to mr alexander first because i know he spent a lot of time in this to try to pull the deal together do you have any questions or comments that you'd like to add to that no i think the only the only comment i'll make is i know the johnson county council when white river went for their additional appropriation for this commended the board for pulling multiple government agencies together to work on a project like this and i know you know as dr long has progressed through this project the county commissioners have been have been very supportive of the project as well so they've been at the county level there's been a lot of it um excitement about you know getting the agencies to work together for a common common cause and you know just as a reminder for everybody you know this this is one of the things that came out of our safety and security audit that we had done when was that dr long 2018 been two years now yes and you know this was this was one of their recommendations and i think we took their recommendation a step further and including the sheriff's department the fire department on top of our own police department and monitoring that we intend to do for the school district so thank you mr alexander do i hear any other questions or comments from any other board members just glad to see it's getting started i just have a question from mr goalie with a number of additional bidders that we saw on this is that a trend you're seeing elsewhere or is this just i mean what what do you attribute that to other than han's hard [Music] covered work is burning a lot of work because you know owners are stopping projects but i think it's requiring a lot of companies so i think that's why the other item is this project is a small project where it got a lot of other interests involved smaller companies one thing i was taken by was just the number of folks that were bidding on this i mean that's not what we usually see on our larger projects a little on something this size like bill said i think this is and i noticed a couple a couple withdrew their bids is that something you feel comfortable sharing or there was a couple that um one of the companies transcribed their numbers wrong into different bid packets you know they they did two bids and they transcribed their numbers wrong and and so it threw it through their bids off and the other company probably just didn't fill it out quite the the their their bid quite the way we wanted or expected them to do and left some gaps so um yeah we feel feel good even with those being pulled our numbers were really good and allows us to do what we wanted to do and we're really appreciative of the board being patient with us as we sometimes stumbled through this but i think we're in a good place right now and appreciate the board's patience as we kind of work through all that well i know this is an important project since you know the report came out a few years ago to put it somewhere and make it close to the high school middle school elementary so you know thanks for your efforts and the fact that it's under budget this time until last time we were so surprised at how far over budget it was right so thanks for everyone's efforts thank you i do want to commend dr long and his team you just made a mention of something that may seem small but i think it's important bids not being totally filled out apps or whatever that you have you've held people to their to the fire on that so that's what they should know when it gets out into the construction environment they should know coming to center grove they're going to be held to that standard and i appreciate that yeah that's um that's a ecom hunt they've done a great job for us to help us maintain the standards that we know the community and the board expect thank you any other questions or comments here ignore other questions or comments do i hear a motion mr president i move that we accept the bids totaling four million nine hundred ninety four thousand one hundred and fifteen dollars for the emergency operations project as presented do i hear a second second thank you mr alexander thank you mr hubbard all those in favor please signify by saying i i opposed the eyes habit 5-0 thank you thank you thanks bill next we're asked to uh consider the authorization of 2021 tax anticipation warrants and i asked dr paul gabriel our chief financial officer to come to the podium the microphone is yours sir thank you again in 2021 we'll be participating in the indiana bond bank advanced funding program which issues temporary loans in in anticipation of property tax revenues and this we do this because property taxes are typically received in june and december and we end up having a cash flow problem in the months right before that in april and may and october november for 2021 we anticipate needing to borrow 4.1 million dollars and and of course we pay this back when the taxes come in for comparison purposes in 2020 we borrowed 4.4 million dollars and our rate was 1.65 percent interest we paid we're borrowing an indiana bond bank we'll we'll literally have a pool of billions of dollars so we participate in that and get a very good rate all the legal dockets have been prepared by both mckinney and evans the same council that did this in prior years and the board members have received an electronic copy of the 100 pages worth of all the detailed documents these documents are in the same form that we've used in the past and we also have a a chart prepared with the board material there that shows the amounts that we've borrowed in prior years the last few years have been relatively constant so this evening board action is needed to approve the resolution and to authorize the board president and secretary to sign and execute documents thank you thank you dr gabriel are there any questions or comments from anyone on the board just comment just be clear to the community this is a process we do every year every year i've been this is again number 14 the time i've been up here to do this it's a necessary process yeah plus others at your prior schools thanks mr russell i think that's a good clarification any other questions or comments from anybody else on the board seeing no other questions or comments do i have a motion mr president i move that we approve the resolution authorizing the anticipation yeah warrants and authorize the president and secretary to sign documents as needed do i hear a second second thank you mr russell mr alexander all those in favor please signify by saying aye aye all those opposed the eyes have it 5-0 thank you now dr gabriel will give us a presentation asking for the approval of certain miscellaneous contracts entered into by the school part of our focus on internal controls the business office has implemented a system to manage the various contracts that the school district has in place and the past few months a number of steps have been taken in including a review of our written procedures for for contract approval uh reviewing each of the contracts that we have in our files uh loading all the contacts into a digital storage system that we're using and also establishing a reminder system that works automatically to remind us when contracts are coming up for renewal and i didn't mention it in the memo but we also load any contracts which are an expenditure over fifty thousand dollars onto a state public website that that the state has established requires us to do that as as part of this review we've got five contracts that require board approval based on policy 6320 and i want to make it clear that these contracts are already in place expenses associated with them are already part of our existing budget there's nothing these are not new contracts or there's no new expenses here we're just uh taking the taking these to the board for your approval based on policy 6320 thank you dr gabriel do i have any questions or comments from anyone on the board hearing no questions or comments do i hear a motion i'm the right one sorry vodka i moved that we approved the miscellaneous contracts as percentage was the longest motion of the night there you go do i hear a second second thank you mr russell mr alexander all those in favor please signify by saying aye aye opposed you guys have it 5-0 thank you that was 8.5 correct yes we're now on to 8.6 once again dr gabriel now he's

appropriations hearing and i will turn it over to mr daniels to run the hearing thank you dr arkanov i now open this public hearing and i'd like to call on dr gabriel to provide information about additional appropriations and he will make a brief presentation dr gabriel the floor is yours all right i'm just going to very quickly list the different things to which we're asking the additional appropriation and if there are any questions we can talk about them further uh there's 151 thousand dollars in the operations fund to pay the stipends that were just approved ninety four thousand in the operations fund to pay raises of two percent that were approved earlier this year a hundred and ten thousand dollars to pay for new staff that began at the beginning of the 2021 school year uh 615

students would then uh grab and go lunch um and then in and then have their live check-in in the afternoon so any student who is not on campus on either Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday they would do their live check-in at 12:30 uh with with their teacher and this would be uh the second period is who they would report to um and then in the afternoon would be asynchronous um so these have been the proposed schedules again we've worked really hard with our teacher input group I want to thank all of them we have representatives from all of our campuses um and they've taken it back and gotten additional um feedback from many of our colleagues at the sites uh and then uh We've um improved what we currently had in July and are proposing this uh for when and if our students return to our campuses thank you thank you Mr col I appreciate the update we're now going to go ahead and transition to Dr Henry as you know she has been leading our efforts and surveying our families uh throughout this time so she's going to give you a report in terms of what we've collected from their input thus far so Dr Henry hi good evening thank you everyone um as you know in October we conducted two surveys um as more of a check-in model to see um what our fam's needs were and as well as staff we did a staff and a parent survey to assess needs gauge Comfort levels with different models uh see how things had been going in distance learning and also ask about levels of communication this survey as a followup um is different however we launched this survey because we felt we needed to get some real numbers to see um if we are safe to open in January um were our parents wanting to send their students to our hybrid model or have them remain in distance learning next slide so this was the process of how we rolled out the survey um the survey launched on November 9th emails were sent to parents prior to the survey we tried to do some front loading the week before um in order to give them time to review the options there were links um there was a description of the hybrid model as well as the distance learning model and then links to um our Cambridge Virtual Academy as well as our different independent studies options including Polaris Kennedy independent studies and catella independent studies in ahsd our survey was translated into four other languages other than English it was sent out in Vietnamese Korean Spanish and Arabic it was sent out via email social media site newsletters um and uh we really tried to have uh multiple ways that we were communicating about this survey uh sites um had created presentations to share with uh with parents if they needed more information than what was described in the email so we had um most sides Ed sites use the same slides so it was a very aligned presentation describing the different options and what parents needed to do to fill out the survey and then reminders were sent out every few days and are continuing to be sent out so parents can um complete the survey next slide so our participation uh so far is um 18,446 when I ran the data uh at noon today just a few minutes ago uh we had an additional 140 responses we're now at 18585 responses you can see the breakdown by school of the responses and we are monitoring that and sending these um graphs out every day to our um to to many of our different stakeholders to all principles assistant principles our family and Community engagement Specialists as well as senior admin um our registar our attendance clerks are all getting daily updates of participation next slide so as of right now um and it it it has remained steady for the most part although we are seeing a little bit of an increase within since we were announced in the purple tier of families wishing to remain in distance learning but overall for our district 53% of families are saying they would prefer a hybrid model if it is safe to do so in January and 41% of our families would prefer to remain in distance learning at their home school as I stated other options were listed including our Cambridge Virtual Academy in dependent studies programs and there was also an other option and 6% of our families um selected one of those go ahead and next slide so just to let you know how we've been communicating with our sites there have been um every other day we have been downloading Excel files of all responses including those that are selecting other responses and um it has the students ID number number name parent contact information and um what the selection was we're doing this so that if parents have been calling to say did you get my response have I filled out the survey and they were also doing Outreach every other day this was upload um updated so they had files divided up by school of every student who had completed the survey also uh dashboard screenshots which you saw a few of the district screenshots but they also were created for every single School so there are over 20 dashboards in our qual Trek system that our administrators have been given access to so they could also monitor live data every day um for their own high school to see where their responses were and where the decision and if it were changing uh our end goal in this is once the survey is closed then uh we will be uploading this information into our area student information system and so uh we can that will help us with scheduling making sure that our numbers um of students that want to return to a hybrid um model we're able to keep them distanced and um that our numbers are balanced and um also once that information is uploaded into our student information system we will continue to reach out to families who have not yet completed the survey thank you thank you Dr Henry for that update I now want to shift to Mr Carlos hernandz our director of curriculum instruction team are going to how we are engag thank you Dr freed and good evening everyone uh good evening board cabinet and guests we uh we're excited to share with you some updates on what we are doing in terms of engaging our families during this challenging covid and distance learning uh time uh there are uh I do have a team with me you know I wanted you to hear directly from those in the trenches so um we have two family community engagement Specialists that will share and um in in understanding a virtual parent leadership academy that's Sylvia van y from Walker and hope uh our family community engagement specialist and Carlos oras Hernandez uh at Oxford Academy that will share as well I also we also have um one of our community school coordinators who's work um working as an interim coordinator for family community engagement arela that is also in the room if there are any questions about our systems we want to share with you our um Community Schools data uh this is how we are approaching our community right it is our community together um and I know next slide Dr freed if you can uh there we are thank you um we have three sort of buckets and emphasis as a system what we are doing to support our community um through this uh responding to covid through this challenging time uh starting in July we started um working on uh I'll start from the the last one testing covid testing um at four different School sites now mainly at Anaheim high school and Magnolia High School uh a little bit at Western High School um but we've had up as of last week or two weeks ago November 6 37 different clinics uh mobile clinics that's how many you know tested uh and that's the positivity rate um and so you know our our families are have been using and are very uh you know thankful and grateful to have our partners in the community be uh locally you know available to for the testing um again Latino Health Access and Orange County healthcare agency are partners with Care Ambulance and um families together uh back up to the top care package distributions this is a system of support with many Community organizations helping us out to be able to deliver uh as of again last uh two weeks ago about 1600 families attending receiving care package items that are in much uh in need uh at home 8800 uh or more than that individuals reached look at the unemployment rate of those that have been able to be served 32% unemployment and 72% um have been affected by by covid so we're we're reaching the right families and that is the good news and we will continue to have these care package distributions in fact we had one this week that uh wasn't represented in that data food distributions we've had over close to 20,000 families served uh this is with our our partners Saddleback Church and icna Islamic circle of North America our partners you know again Community Partners have come through to help support 30 different distributions and that's the number so a lot of good work responding to the need and we're only continuing to grow that uh come December and beyond all right and next slide that uh is just simply again we've talked about the the the mobile testing um events this is the the data from those mobile testing events and as you see there's an upward trajectory uh you know just uh got Tu Monday we had over 400 community members come to the testing uh clinic and and we're we were averaging about a hundred and so I know the need is there and we continue to to to want to be available for those testing clinics we will have uh open Monday as well of next week at Anaheim High School even through during uh during break so that's good news all right we're going to shift over to College and Career Fair and and just go through uh data again this is C celebratory thanks to the efforts of our partners our College and Career Partners our folks in the trenches uh our counselors our administrators our teachers we had H an amazing virtual College and Career Fair that was designed by you know a significant task group to be able to put this together first ever right but we'd like to say very proud to be the largest College and Career Fair in the universe because it was huge U you know we had over 4,000 participants we had uh over 111 live breakouts all day and typically it's a College and Career Fair in the evening it happens at the convention center we shifted it and we went virtual and we only not only opened that component of it which was the the showcasing you know talking to College and Career Partners but we also had live sessions for you know the different topics to support uh students their families about everything regarding college career it it uh in highlighted our our teachers it highlighted our um our staff on campus and it also highlighted our college career Partners again there's some numbers again celebrating that next slide Dr freed we also wanted to look at how did it how do we do with our grade levels you know who who attended so as you see every single uh grade level attended uh you know Senior High you know obviously was senior high school or you know seniors were uh the most that attended because they were thinking about defin in a few months what do I need to do to be ready um but we did have representatives from all grade levels uh and so next slide really shows the the work that every single school did to get our students and their families there again these are our numbers by S side you know some stand out and so the question was well goodness what did catella do what did Dale do again everyone worked hard but we are learning from those best practices those High highlights and again huge shout out to our teachers because they accepted this as an assignment they said you know it's an asynchronous day go to the event come and and and and and sign in and we we know that you've been working we're gonna um count that as your engagement assignment on an asynchronous day and so again Katella High School we're learning from those bright spots again shout out to those stakeholders but everyone again the key thing is everyone participated all right and uh next slide Dr freed uh again a big uh you know highlight was our Anaheim collaborative our pledge Partners every single pledge partner and they they were the most popular live sessions Cal State Fullerton in the house C arvine Fullerton College you know Cypress College and of course NCAA is always of interest to folks how do you become an athlete College athlete but those are the numbers and again those are the most popular sessions we continue to increase the relationship and the trust and our students and our families know this is you know who I want to talk to I want to talk to my pledge partners because I know they're going to take care of me as I transition out of Anaheim Union all right so again we're celebrating and we want to continue to look at um what we are doing to shift our supports with our families now and so I'm going to turn it over to Sylvia and godos to be able to share with us how did we shift the virtual parent leadership academy and then also we know we we're thinking about our parent learning walks and how are we going to shift the parent learning walks uh and with you we're going to have uh Sylvia go go first with um the parent learning walks or parent Lear Leadership Academy you're mut thank you Mr Hernandez thank you Mr and the board and all of our guests here today um so as part of the team that helped to develop the virtual parent leadership academy in partnership with Gea we were looking at how we could help our parents trans transition from in person to distance learning and help their students to be successful and I know you you got a sketch of what the modules would look like the order of them earlier in the year but here it is again where our focus is helping them to navigate the systems but also to understand that their impact in terms of Engagement and the way that they help their students you know support their emotional social emotional health is key to their academic success and their wellbeing as we often emphasize here at ahsd can we go to the next slide um so this is a slide from one of our first from our first module and we emphasize uh parents agency here in the district knowing how and where to get help so that they feel empowered to advocate for their students and we go through an exercise where we several scenarios and ask them after we introduce the different uh persons on campus and other agencies that they can appeal to and so our parents interact with us and it's just a fun way to display that but it's an important exercise that we've carried through from the F first uh parent lead Leadership Academy that was of course in person in our campuses but that's a big part of what we help parents with is to identify the people and the resources that they help students to be successful and so that's what this um slide covers this was an important slide that comes from um and still is but it was an important slide that we developed in collaboration with Tracy Olsen um our curriculum specialist for students with disabilities and this slide um it's really a video that we also translated into Spanish uh working with Miss ol but what it does it delineates how the National Online standards are applied to our curriculum building in this distance uh distance learning platform all across ahsd and what are the most pertinent aspects that parents can understand are and how to identify them when they're looking at their students curriculum or whether they're you know sitting side by side with them as some of our parents have done while um students are in class just because the circumstances um bring that about it is a fantastic um video that she helped us put together um we all collaborated and brainstormed but these are some of the National Online standard points looking at excellence and education online and we knew that as a team and as a district we wanted to keep that high level of Education quality education helping our students achieve their goals even though we had a transition into this format so that's what this particular slide covers and um as we've developed all of this we've also developed our parent leaders typically we would partner with them and our parent leaders would be the leads but as initiating a whole new style and content we realize that faces would take the lead and then bring along parents and each different site is incorporating parent leadership in different ways um we've had a couple of rounds now a virtual parent leadership academy at our sites so we're looking to do that more that is put our parents more in the Forefront so that they're empowered to continue to lead their students along with all the community in ahsd but it's you know our faith in our community that says you can do this you can support your student and we're right here with you so um with that I'll transition to my partner Carlos Hernandez oras Hernandez to speak to the next slides Carlos real quick before you begin uh trusty uh board president Rand tro I see that you raised your hand uh is it something you want to ask now or something you want to hold off until the end okay just want to make sure thank you so go ahead Carlos I'll go ahead and turn it over to you as I go to the next slide yes I wish we had the time to present that video uh but we're leaving that you know so people can have that interest in finding out what is bpla right what is the Virgin parship Academy and that's what we want we want to build interest from our parents and we realize that you know when you grow up you learn to be a parent by seeing your parents but once you have virtual education uh is something that we have not been familiar with and some of us don't even know you know how to parent I mean parenting doesn't come with a book and so uh we hope to provide parents with some strategies and some tools that they can uh do you know with their student and so this slide right here is from our module two of the ver the virtual parent leadership academy or the bpla as we call it and we want parents to um have a a tool you know because they they are they're playing a role in the movie and the movie is called life and as you're you know you're trying to be a best parent you want to find out what's going on with their student at home and so the common question is how was your day and that doesn't really bring a conversation it just you know it's just another thing that puts pressure on a student and sometimes they answer you know it was okay or you know that's it and doesn't build that dialogue and so what we're trying to do is we're trying to build parents with some cues with some tools where they can ask you know something like uh what was something you already knew or what do you still wonder you know what do who do you interact with you know those type of questions that build more of a discussion and a dialogue with the student and that's when you're having the teacher and the students on the same day like doing the synchronous learning but sometimes you may be at home like on a Tuesday or a Thursday and you're thinking what should I ask my student because they didn't go to school today so you can say something like what can I do to help you you know structure your time and space do you need me to help you with something what are some resources that you need and those type of questions and so you know we're building um leaders and that's the whole idea of the uh parent leadership academy but how do we do it virtually well we set up we changed the skill right we're using a hammer before now we need a wrench so we're giving them a wrench and so the whole idea is to have them um be of assistance to their students and so that's just one slide if we go to the the other one um and this is one of the uh culminating slides uh where we talk about information and academics we our last our last module is all about um social emotional well-being but this being from schoolo G and this is part of our third module which talks about online platforms we want the parents to be um well informed and we want them to be of support we don't want them to see schoolo G and Aries and all these online platforms as uh you know as a hurdle or as an obstacle but instead of a tool you know we want him to be informed so we give them those skills um and we give him some tips on what to do you know with education but we also show them what it is what does it look like so instead of asking the question what are you missing you can actually go to school you can go to you know here you know this image talks about number four and you go to the overdue section and it tells you exactly what the student's missing as opposed to trying to find out oh what didn't you turn in or what you didn't do you have it all there and so we try to break it down for them in chunks and the feedback has been great people have liked this the Virtual parip Academy and today was actually our last session for someone us you know we we have uh two cohorts already sort of what we call graduate because they finished the the sessions and you know they asked the question so what's next you know today's our last day and I told them you know well you know my tiar I'm pushing them back in because we're done with this cohort but we wish to give you more but we just don't have it at the moment we're building on more capacity we want to build capacity from other parents and we also tell them that they are the leaders now they have the information we want them to disseminate this information to other parents and um you know we talking about collaboration talking about passing it on we also realized that this opportunity if you want to look at the silver lining of this whole pandemic has allowed us to collaborate and build on uh our you know our Partnerships and so we have instead of having you know a vpla in each CL in each uh school we decided to do the feeder school so we have the junior high and we have the high school working together and so those parents are already interacting in a virtual space um and on the west side we call it the West Side uh you know like tell I mean Kennedy Walker Oxford uh and this year we even invited parents from the Cambridge Virtual Academy to join us in this collaboration and so we gave them uh a tool of learning about the different things and we realized on Schoo that they're not using School using e Cadence so we even collaborated with Miss Spencer who's one of the teachers who's developed and trained the teachers on how to use e Cadence to teach our families about e Cadence and so all we want to do is we want to um provide those tools like I said and you know we're trying to be with the side guyses be with the current Trend be with what the parents need at the moment and talking about back about our feedback they're asking for more digital literacy they're asking for more technical questions you know we we invite them or we introduce like the Google suite and Google dogs and they're like wait Google dog how do I do that can I learn it and so unfortunately we had to we know this is where we stop our training this where I can introduce you but you know we can follow up one-on-one but we're probably going to be doing some um type of training or development for our parents to be more uh Technical and more techsavvy because some of them are but you know they want the next level what's next and and that's always the question what's next so with that I'm G to pass on the question to Mr Hernandez what's next all right thank you Carlos syvia for sharing your passion uh and your leadership and helping build capacity with our families and our parents the last slide is is simply this we are um again we started with our V virtual parent leadership academy that development happened in the summer and the implementation happened in first in the entirety basically first quarter and now transition into sort of another round and second quarter and we're going to continue this significant work because it is that valuable we are now looking at embedding our virtual parent learning walk again it's going to be virtual uh you know the parent learning walk structure and functions that we are typically traditionally used to are those parent learning walks where our te our parents are uh help uh facilitated by our principles our parents walk into classrooms they open the door our teachers are welcoming them into the classroom and they get to see the you know what do you see what how does this you know the teacher check for understanding what are these questions and so because we can't do that we are needing to embed it in this virtual platform that is a successful model that our feedback from our parents um is that they love it as you heard from our faces and they want more and so now our principles are going to help us fa facilitate the virtual parent learning walks um in the very near future uh we are finishing up the the implementation but again this helps us build capacity in our parents to be able to as you see in the goal support learning at home and create that healthy tension uh between uh us and our community members to be able to uh uh help us understand how teaching learning helps students at at home and what what is the role of the parents and and and in that environment as the parent learning walks are we're we're used to that uh structure in a successful Manner and so we're going to be doing that uh in the very near future all right all right thank you Carlos and team so before I turn over to you uh Madame President just real quick as we head into Thanksgiving as you can see um on behalf of our cabinet uh we can't thank um and show enough gratitude and appreciation for our our colleagues across the district uh just the tremendous work they're they're doing to support our students and our families and of course each other um you know all the way from our Administration to our teachers our counselors you saw our faces I would argue all of our classified staff our askme employees our M Department transportation I can go on and on uh just the great work that's being done to support our families despite the fact that we're in these unprecedented times so with that I'm gonna go and turn it back over to you and the board should you have any questions for us to answer thank you Dr Fred and thank you everyone for your presentations I think I just got too excited and I was raising my hand like I want to be in that c hard I want I want to learn technology thank you so much I've been asking about that how we were supporting our parents so this presentation was um was exactly what I was uh looking for today um thank you Carlos for those H phenomenal stats and um I know everyone's working so hard to um to really Outreach to our families uh who are in need I I that 32% unemployment is just uh horrific number um and so but it just uh outlines just how desperate our families are so thank you for those stats and congratulations on the College and Career Fair um such a successful Endeavor and I just I can't even imagine how uh you even began to uh put that together so thank you to everyone uh for that and uh Bor if you had any questions um I will open the floor to that all right I I have one here I want to say too Carlos about the the College and Career Fair that's phenomenal the numbers were great I wondered how it would work but obviously it was a smashing success that's great and I say kudos to the catella and Dale teachers clever wow I mean and I'm sure every one of those kids enjoyed it and was glad that they did it but I'm going to go now to horao I have a question you mentioned EC Cadence who is using EC Cadence um so we talked about the Learning Management systems that we have uh for the district and so most schools um except for the Cambridge uh Virtual Academy uses uh e Cadence so everybody Elsey uh CVA uses e Cadence well that's what I thought but when I but I missed when you said it I wasn't sure whether you were talking about some Elementary School using it or whatever so okay gotcha thank you and uh Stephanie thank you so much for putting that survey together very quickly we asked for it and you did it and um it looks like uh people are still uh chiming in um but but thank you those numbers really um are significant to the decisions that we make as a whole and um and really quickly Manuel um if I call when we started the task force the reason for the hybrid a Model A lot of folks are asking why hybrid why and if I recall it was because we wanted to take a measured response and not just have you know everyone on campus all at the same time am I correct in that yeah that that is correct we wanted to make sure that we were cautious we wanted to make sure that we would be able to social distance um you know when students uh and staff were on campus absolutely and the idea of bringing seventh graders and nth graders on campus first we wanted to you know these students have never seen their campuses seventh graders have never been on the junior high campus and ninth graders have never been on the high school campus we wanted them to to to have an opportunity to acclimate to the campus get to know the staff um get to know the locations of everything before everybody else came on to the campus we you know we normally do Transition events with our Junior High kids and our and in our seventh and ninth graders and because of covid and the pandemic we have not been able to do so so this would give us an opportunity to do something special with our seventh and ninth graders thank you so much any other questions no I have a comment I wanted to make a comment about Stephanie thank you very much for that survey and she gave me some prep or or pre-information as she was working on it and I appreciate that tremendously thank you madam president I have some questions uh can we go back to the Stephanie can we go back to the uh survey participation slide um jiren can you pull up the slide back up just give me one second I can speak to it though let me pull it back up he pulls that up let me just give kudos to uh Manuel and the team uh I had the opportunity to visit Anaheim high school and kind check on uh the the site in terms of uh preparations if we were to bring back students and I could tell you that uh it's one of the safest place to be in uh you guys have done a tremendous job in making sure that taking every aspect of concern into uh consideration to address that so I wanted to give you kudos for that um no the the slide before that uh Stephanie oh jiren the survey participation slide I think there were updated numbers so I had a quick question regarding this I know it's 18,446 if you take a look at Cyprus high school or Anaheim high school so we're saying Cyprus high school had 2347 return now I just a clarification for me does this mean that each and every student or that the parent of a student turn this uh survey back this was um the responses that we have so far uh we we do not have all responses from All Families at this point no no no I understand that but what I'm saying is the 2347 what who are those they are like individual parents so is it unduplicated it's for each child we asked families if they had more than one child to to um fill it out for each child so we could better track the data especially if they had families so those are um responses for each child so if I was a parent of cypron high school and I had a a kid in uh uh 8th grade and in uh ninth grade then they filled out two yes that way we could um better track our numbers and we will be uploading um the data in our student information system for each child so we needed separate responses for each child okay [Music] um I guess the question for me is would that skew I guess not and in a way you could also take a look at it and see that it does skew because if you do have um two two kids but anyways we could discuss that offline um and then I wanted to go to Mr Jabar if I may um I think Stephanie if if they had two children and one was at Cyprus and one was at Lexington only one would show up at Cypress the other would show up at Lexington correct yes um and that's why we had them do it separately we know that families may have children with different needs we also know that that our families have children at multiple schools and so we needed to make sure that uh the child in your sit uh in your example Carl was if they went to Lexington we need to have the data for Lexington two different school that's different but I was kind of trying to figure out how we would factor into if we had like two kids in the same school but anyways that's that's data for you um let me go back to Carlos with the uh Au is Community School numbers I I wanted to just give kudos Su and uh relli for doing some fantastic work with this distribution and the team itself I think you guys are amazing I I want to congratulate each one of you for doing a fantastic job I can't I can't tell you how much I've heard from parents who are very happy and uh grateful for what we've done so I want to make sure that I highlight both of them and our partners nna and Saddleback Church for doing what they've done including Latino Health Access with the testing uh so the the question on this one again is the care package distribution so we we're saying that 1,610 families unduplicated that we've served correct ahead so how does the 8,853 individual reach uh factor into that sorry my phone so we collected each family pre-registered for the care package distributions so we asked how many adults from 18 to 64 were in the family how many seniors 65 years and older and how many children 0 to 17 were in the home so we added up the numbers and that's how we got the individuals reached for so that 8 8,853 is coming out of the unduplicated 1610 families correct yes correct and there are actually care packages that we distributed that we didn't account for in these numbers because um we gave them away maybe towards the end of a distribution um to families who like walked up at our first couple distributions if we had any left over um we did a better job in the last couple to um collect the data for those families that did walk up without pre-registering we registered them on site so these are duplicated numbers all right well thank you very much arelia again for all your work on that one so uh my next Kudos is obviously College and Career affir you guys did a fantastic job and that was uh amazing uh again there I wanted to ask about the data so we're saying that catella high school had 157 um students who participated or families students students that participated so they they logged in uh they were all pre-registered they logged in to a time and during the College of care career fair starting at 10 o'clock was our first live session so either 10 o'clock or 12 or one or three or in the afternoon and they logged in they participated uh and so they were engaged in at one of the activities or multiple activities but it was an individual student logging in and participating and these all unduplicated too uh correct that's so I know callers you mentioned that we learned something from it so what did we learn and how can we uh push like for example know we have like uh syo junior high or Western High School having uh South Junior High Low numbers right uh what did we learn that we could Implement to in a virtual setting I mean God forbid we're in the same situation next year but um yeah what learn yeah what we learned is uh that you know these live first of all the live session component we need to figure out a way to keep regardless of whether we're going to be face Toof face in person or or or or distance learning because you know wherever they are the students and their families they can plug in and receive the knowledge and be able to dialogue with those with those Partners the way that catella specifically did it is uh you know Kim gurn the the lead counselor I'm assuming at the site leadership level site leadership team they discussed it and they said we know we we we want to replace we want to replace the any assignments during that asynchronous day um and maybe not any but at least the engagement assignment to be able to say On th this was a Thursday you know student if you show up to the college career fair and you engage in one of the live sessions we're going to count that engagement as assignment the teacher will be able to receive that attendance as your assignment so um they they uh did not add to it they didn't say well after you finish up your assignments for the day go check out the college career fair but they they intended or they in turn replaced that that assignment which was um very a unique system that you know again it took the counselor's U you know management you know leadership to be able to push that idea out and the teachers to welcome it and to figure out a way to capture the attendance for those students so learning from that that's what we're going to replicate across the district and request that from sites okay all right well as long as you learn and uh increase those numbers because I think you know part of it is the reason that I asked that is in a virtual setting sometimes people do get tired and they don't want to attend these extra uh sessions which are virtual right so but this is I think a uh very important aspect of our students that we would want to see more attendance here so uh hopefully we could replicate that and virtual pray and Leadership Academy again uh I want to thank folks who are involved with that I think that's a great great way of getting our parents engaged and I know some of them are struggling so this is an opportunity for us to actually uh give them the tools necessary to help their kids and I think uh this is very very uh interesting and welcome in in the community so thank you very much that's all my questions thank you Mr Jabar Katherine did you have any comments or questions or Brian well I would like to say thank you and gratitude to each and everyone and I just have such a sense of Pride for the type of people that we have uh doing what they do in our school system and I just wish you all a lovely Thanksgiving Carlos I just wanted to send my kudos to you and your team I You' have done here uh the great presentation on um on the presentation what Al was just talking about uh the U the uh um the uh College and Career Fair I thought that was that was great I I popped into at least half a dozen uh sessions just to see if uh anybody was there what was going on and everyone that I I popped into they were so professional in their presentation I was I wasn't surprised but I was very pleased so um just want to let you know about that and I'm assuming that I'm not in any of those numbers there you popped in yeah I yeah I don't think we included you we separated you you were special you were the one for that special category I didn't see it though congratulations and with was talking about and with with getting those numbers I think that was a fantastic idea uh you know getting the students to to use that as a synchronous day super assignment so uh we live and learn so that's great thank you so much thank you thank you Mr O'Neal thank you everyone uh Dr Fred you must be uh beaming right now you have a wonderful team and this is uh only a partial of your team so no doubt no doubt very blessed we are very blessed thank you everyone all right moving on 10.2 our program so it's back over to us again but I promise this will be a more succinct presentation it's not as in in-depth as uh what we just shared with you um I'm excited to have Amanda Bean here with us tonight uh our our program administrator of curriculum instruction as you guys know um in the enter entertainment World they often say during challenging times The Show Must Go On well I I would say that during this pandemic we have continued to innovate continue to expand and grow our services and programs regardless of of the the challenges that we have been faced with and Amanda and Carlos Hernandez along with um um our counselors at the sites have worked closely with our Cypress and flon college Partners to continue to grow and strengthen our dual enrollment opportunities so tonight is more of an update for Amanda to share with you the great work that we are doing how we are progressing and what the conversations look like with our partners to continue this workout in the future so with that I'm gonna go and turn it over to Amanda who who will walk us through um this journey hi good evening I'm Board of Trustees superintendent matsuda and cabinet um as Dr Fred said I'm Amanda bean and I am a program administrator in curriculum and instruction and I have the pleasure of overseeing our dual enrollment program and I'm really happy to share with you tonight um some of our successes our areas of growth and our goals moving forward you can go ahead and go on Jaren so in 2015 AB 288 was signed into law it's known as The College and Career access Pathways partnership the goal of this legislation is to provide access for high school students into um higher education specifically for Career Education and preparation for transfer and the goal of the legislation is to work with students who are underserved and under and from under represented communities and um for students who are not already College Bound so some of the elements of a dual enrollment program would include that um classes count for both high school and college credit the courses are taught by a college professor uh the courses could be taken on a high school or a college campus the students do not have to pass an exam at the end of the course like they do with like advanced placement um and that students um just get to experience the college life uh Within the safety of the high school environment um go ahead and forward Jaren so the data the National Data demonstrates that students that participate in a dual enrollment program improve students success in high school and in college so for example sorry my phone start me um so for example compared to similar peers students that complete do enrollment on average um have a 7% higher high school graduation rate uh 15% higher rate of college enrollment and 25% higher rate of completing a college degree and the data shows that the positive effects on dual enrollment um in college degree attainment and Workforce entry um are even stronger for lowincome students um when they participate in dual enrollment as a high school student so basically when a student um participates in do enrollment they're reducing the time it takes for them to earn a college degree Ree and allows them to enter the workforce faster or it allows them just to enter the workforce Faster by taking CTE courses while in high school and earning certifications to earn them a well-paying job right out of high school youing forward so some of the benefits of a dual enrollment program as well are that um when students are in dual enrollment they are considered a college student so they have access to all of the uh benefits that a college student would have so they can access the library the Student Health Center campus clubs um and any of the resources available on the college campus another benefit to dual enrollment is that we can expand what we offer students and offer them things that we may not be able to offer on the high school campus so giving them more opportunities to explore and grow and um students who take dual enrollment are Le less likely to need remedial courses once they do enter College as a full-time college student you can go ahead and move forward so another way that dual enrollment benefits students and it benefits us um is in terms of the College and Career Readiness dashboard so the dashboard um demonstrates whether a student is likely prepared for the next step in life dual enrollment is part of three of the indicators um that a student could access to be marked as prepared and so one of the things that we're really targeting is working with our counseling teams to help them uh work with students in the academic plan and execute a six-year plan that intentionally includes taking a dual enrollment course sometime during High School our goal really is that students will either take um a dual enrollment course and their a through G requirements or take a dual enrollment course and complete a CTE pathway um or take two dual enrollment courses in order to be marked as prepared um there are several ways a student can meet the indicator um but the ones that we're really trying to push are the ones that can be influenced through coursework and that students can plan and prepare for um and so uh dual enrollment is one of was one of those options you can forward so um so this slide demonstrates our growth of our dual enrollment program since the implementation of ab 288 so the last four years the numbers on the slide show the total enrollments and completed courses based on our transcript data so this means that there are students that have that take more than one class this counts every completed class so this could be a duplicated student number so right off the bat you might notice that there's a a difference between the total enrollments between Cyprus and flon college um in the 1920 school year we had more than double the number of completed courses um through Cypress College than we had at Fullerton um our school that work really closely with full with Cypress College um our students um just have a access to a variety of courses um not only after school but we also have classes available during the school day with Cypress College so that lends to a higher number of students being being able to take classes so we are in full recognition that each college has their own culture and approach to dual enrollment however we're also very aware of the inequities that those differences are starting to cause for our students um and our students are becoming more aware too as you have heard in some public comments in previous board meetings students are coming and asking like why aren't we getting the same opportunity so I want to assure the board that our team is really working very closely with Dr Schultz the president of flon college um Dr Schultz is is very much on board with um what we want to do to expand to enrollment for our East Side schools and is very supportive um of what we're suggest testing Dr Schultz is in turn working with his staff to closely build their cap uh to build their capacity and to work to reduce the barriers that we have been facing in the past um with the goal of building a dual enrollment system that will meet the needs of students in ahsd but I do want to say with that said our team is not opposed to making changes as necessary so recently we have um made a decision to reassign Savannah High School from flon college to Cyprus College to better meet the needs of the students at that campus and specifically the health careers Academy um we've done this in the past as well with Magnolia High School um we we do want you to know that these are not decisions that we take lightly um however we realize that is imperative that our students across the district have access to a robust dual enrollment program and that the opportunities are similar across our campuses and we are working to address them you can go goad and forward jar um so this slide demonstrates the growth of the high school of each individual High School site U this these are the sites that work with Cypress College currently so these numbers represented are unduplicated numbers um and these are just the unduplicated numbers of students that have completed any dual enrollment course uh since the 16 17 school year so just to give you a total on that Cyprus high school has had 866 students complete a course Kennedy 73 4 Oxford 961 Magnolia 320 and Western 518 and so again to point out that each school has their own obstacles that we are working to overcome to increase the number of students accessing dual enrollment we've been working very closely with each site to identify the challenges that they are specifically having and working with them on ways to strategize um uh to build it and to support students at each of their campuses so some of these strategies um include um adding courses during the school day um act um connecting more CTE dual enrollment to our existing Pathways and then specifically um targeting students in those Pathways to take those specific CT or course um CTE courses and then we're looking at offering more classes like English and math um during the school day to replace um a core class requirement for high school graduation so as an example example of some of that work in Oxford if you'll notice in 2018 Oxford had 111 students complete dual enrollment courses in 1819 we started embedding courses during their school day and so you can see that school year we jumped up to 420 students completing a course okay so that strategy of embedding is has been very powerful in the next few slides I will explain more about our embedded models so um so if you have questions I I hopefully I'll be able to answer them in the next slides uh jarn go ahead and move forward so this slide demonstrates the grow of our growth of our high schools that work with flon college so again these are unduplicated numbers um since 16117 so Anaheim had 557 students Cella 406 Lera 417 Savannah 585 and alted um Gilbert specifically 56 students again each school has their own obstacles that we're working to overcome to increase the enrollment um for these students um the strategies we've been using so far with Fullerton College up until this point is that we're really working to make those CTE connections um connections to the site's exclusive Pathways um and to increase the number of transfer classes available so as an example to that Lera High School jumped from 101 students in 1819 to 206 students in 1920 and this was because of their exclusive pathway Visual and Performing Arts we added music classes um for the students to take and so students in band and choir are in The Ensemble classes with fleron college and there's a great partnership between the music teachers at Lera and the professors at flon College to work together to recruit and support the students so that again that strategy of connecting to the exclusive Pathways um has been favorable go ahead and go to the next slide Jaren so I want to explain a little bit about our embedded dual enrollment for you um so we have four models currently in place um all of them are with our Cypress College schools um we really believe um that one of the best ways to in increase participation and success is to provide students the option to take it during their school day not as an extra class after school um our kids have many obligations after school whether they have sports they have jobs they have to care for younger siblings they have to help in the family business whatever that is and so we know that we want to make sure we can put it in their day to make that a little easier for them so we've piloted a few different models um the first example is is Oxford Academy so um when we first started the ab 288 or this this I was an assistant principal at Oxford and um and this was the first thing I asked like can we like try to get this during our school day because at Oxford we couldn't get kids to sign up after school at all and you'd think an Oxford kid would go right after it right but they had too many things to do they just couldn't they just couldn't access it and so we started with the embedded models at at Oxford and so what's nice about Oxford is that their block schedule lends to dual enrollment very well because that they meet twice a week uh 85 minutes a three-unit college class needs to be meet about 85 minutes twice a week and so they fit right in right um at Oxford we offer a sing s Senior English course English 104 we're able to offer Mandarin to meet the needs of the community that was asking for Mandarin as a world language that we couldn't meet in ahsd and we rotate electives um English 104 is unique to Oxford um since Oxford has a 93% pass rate of the AP English Language exam in 11th grade it really didn't make sense for us to offer English 100 um because English 100 is equivalent to AP English Language and so students wouldn't be able to utilize that credit so English 104 meets a different requirement um General Ed requirement towards a ba degree so that's a unique need that we're meeting and serving um at Oxford Academy uh you can go and go to the next slide Jaren another unique thing that we are doing at Oxford is that we're embedding a course within a course and so an example of that is is that in ninth grade our students take a class called careers finance and technology and so what we uh started doing there is that we would embed a one unit counseling course a career counseling course in that CFT course so if the Oxford class met three days a week one day a week the college professor would come and teach the ca career exploration in place of the high school teaching career exploration as part of the career's financing tech class so it was happening within um or it is happening within um the regularly scheduled uh ahsd class so with this option every ninth grade student in Oxford Academy is able to take a dual enrollment course and get a jump start on their um dual enrollment um experience the next slide is Magnolia so the next school we moved on to with embedded dual enrollment was Magnolia this model looks like um it's three semesters and we're actually going to be upping that to four semesters next year but it's one cohort of students that moves each semester into each class and so they start with the cing 150 class they're moving into English 60 and then English 100 um what we did find with this that splitting up the English 60 and the English 100 and having them skip out on English 3 has actually been a little bit of a detriment to them in terms of being ready with the literature needed for um English 100 so next year we're going to be making this four semester so in 11th grade they'll take counseling and an elective and I think we'll be going with ethnic studies for this campus um and then they would take English 60 and English 100 so a four semester model over two years am can I can I interrupt for a second sure yeah so I I think it's important that the board understands that all of this is cutting new ground in the state of California yes we're getting a lot of attention throughout the state in our partnership with Cypress College because you think about the old model where you graduate from one of our high schools and you go to the Community College you have to start with English 60 often times right before you take English 100 our kids are graduating from high school with English 100 already under their belts and that is that's huge you guys so uh kudos to the entire team yeah yeah it's been a it's it's been a really fun exciting experience getting this going so that's important to note one other thing that's important to note is is as you've seen these these examples are with Cypress College um I'm really proud of the fact that our our district has a strong relationship with our unions right and one of the push backs that we have gotten initially from work in college which Dr Schultz is working to alleviate is they couldn't understand how our Unions would support something like this um when our unions in fact have been very supportive of this um it does not take jobs away from teachers right what it does is if in that example with the senior English if the senior English class is now offered via dual enrollment the teacher in our district who would have taught that can now be reassigned to teach something else in our district like freshman English and that allows us to lower class sizes now with that additional section so it's really strategic on our end in terms of how we're using these extra sections and it is not impacting negatively teacher jobs it is still supporting the same work the staff and allocations have not changed and again kudos to um Grant and before him Dean Elder right who worked with us and saw the Forward Thinking Vision to make this happen and again FL College could understand how we could do this which is why they were pushing back but on that particular Point why would be that why would that be an issue for Pon College wouldn't that be an issue for us and not them it's a good question intering to make sure it's not an issue any longer yeah yeah that's part of the challenge that we initially faced with Dr Schultz has been great he has been completely supportive of our vision what we're trying to do and he's working with his own internal piece to make sure that that can be moved forward for next school year yep exactly uh go ahead and go to the next slide jiren so the next school that we started with starting this year was Western High School so their model looks a little different and the reason why the models are different is that we're trying different strategies to see which one works best for students and then again also knowing that our campuses all have a little bit of a different culture each campus might need something a little different and so we're open to creating the model that works best for each campus so for Western we targeted one cohort um senior year and they take we block first and second period and they take two classes in the fall and two classes in the spring so they would take one class Monday Wednesday one class Tuesday Thursday and then do that again in the spring and in this model they're getting the English 60 english 100 ethnic studies and the history of rock which is a VAP of course um so this because of covid and being virtual and not sure how the kids would handle the load we did scale back this one a little bit this fall we only started with English 60 but in the spring we are going to the two classes and next fall we do intend to imp implement the the full model of all four classes you can go ahead and go to the next slide and then our last school we've added in is CVA Cambridge Virtual Academy so this school um we have developed a model where there's one course available every semester from 9th through 12th grade so conceivably if a student starts at at CVA in nth grade and they take this pattern um they would get 26 units of transferable college credit by the time they graduate and these are all classes that take the place of one of their High School classes and so um like in 10th Grade the world civilizations is their world history class 11th grade the US history class is their High School US history class and then in 12th grade English and math um the math class we um haven't had in place with Cypress College but we finally got that one approved the math department got on board with us and so next fall we will have our first um math 120 course with Cyprus College so um so the numbers at CVA is starting out have been really good we have 31 students in the ninth grade counseling class 13 students in the 10th grade history history class three students in the 11th grade Sociology class and we have two seniors in English 100 um and that was our first pass with CVA so we're pretty excited about that um so moving forward um we've been working with every High School on sharing these models with them and asking them to think about which one will be best for their campus and so every high school now has um the plan that they want to implement and so now um with Cypress College we just need to bring on Cypress High SCH in Kennedy High School and we're done um and then with Fullerton College we need to bring on all of our high schools but we're in the process of making our requests and and uh and seeing where we're where we're able to go with that but our goal is that next fall we will have embedded toal enrollment every High School um the other thing is that that we're trying to do is connect dual enrollment to CTE Pathways and so of the 22 Pathways we offer we currently have 11 that have um a dual enrollment connection uh we have um a a strong sequencing um for cyber security at Magnolia the computer science or um program at Kennedy and biotechnology in Anaheim um all the other pathways are represented in single courses we don't have quite a a Continuum yet um and we also have other CT pathway courses that our students really enjoy like AJ administration of justice and the business courses and auto at Cyprus as well and so those also can be considered CT Pathways if student students um took a full sequence there uh go ahead and forward Jen so these are a little picture of the success rates of the last four years uh with each college so the success rates for student completion of a course uh with a c minus or better that's what success uh is defined as um is right around 90% for Cypress College and somewhere between 70 to 86% for flon college um again uh we attribute those rates to some of the differences and approach by each college so for example at Cypress College um we have a system in place that we require every student to take account accounts in class first and that's an agreement that we've made with our district in Cyprus College and the benefit of this is is that the students learn about college expectations they develop their academic plan it helps them understand how to incorporate their AP coursework into the college coursework so they're not taking classes in areas they don't need um and we also o just believe that the counseling class is a very strong foundation for the dual enrollment coursework and it's a perfect way to engage a younger student in dual enrollment and students in special populations like students in special education it's a it's a great jumping off point um also at Cypress College there is a team that's dedicated to dual enrollment and they have counselors that are dual enrollment counselors only and when the professor approves it the college counselor has access to their learning management system and their grad book and the they're able to monitor student grades and then connect with the high school counselor when a student isn't doing well so the intervention is early and we're able to save students and help them early in the process before it's too late or they've already failed the class so this again is one of the things that we're working with bton college on with Dr Schultz to implement a counseling class for the younger students um currently there's only been a class available for seniors as they're transitioning to community College um we've also been working with the team to develop a more structured system of support to help identify um the struggling students and intervene earlier so that is one of our growth areas that we are working on with bton college go ahead and forward so overall the goals for the dual enrollment program um you know we know that in order to build a program that is increasing access for our students and supporting our students we need to have a coherent coordinated plan between our sites that district and the colleges like we all have to be working together on this in an agreement about what we're going to do so the system that we're building here in ahsd is focused on implementing a high quality program that scaffolds those supports to help students succeed because zo enrollment is a powerful tool for access to higher education and it's an equity tool for our students to be able to access higher education so again the goals of our program s to include um embedded during the day dual enrollment at every high school campus um and so again the models we have in place have been shared everybody is working to select the model they want and we're making our requests with the colleges um our next goal is to have dual enrollment connected to every pathway um Again by doing this we are creating opportunities for students to um to gain those job skills earn certifications and to allow them to enter the workforce earlier with a good paying job so whether they want to go straight from high school to the workforce or they want to attend college the ability to get get a good paying job right out of high school is increased by taking these courses in dual enrollment um also one of the elements of high quality CTE programs which is what a lot of our federal funding is based off of dual enrollment is a is a component of that so for us to continue to build those dual enrollment connections um only strengthens our ability to get Federal funding and to be able to create more opportunities for our students um another goal we have is to um offer one course in each agsy which is the general education transfer pattern for students so students that's first two years of college is the transfer right or the general education so our goal is to have one course in each area um so if a student were motivated starting in ninth grade and taking a course every term from 9th to 12th grade they could graduate from high school with their AA degree and so um and so right now currently with flon college we we have six of the 13 against the areas represented represented and we've requested to add one more next year with the English 100 um with Cypress College we have eight of the 13 areas represented and we have commitments from Cypress College to add two more next year and so um so we're getting closer to our goal and then the last goal and it's a huge goal and maybe it's a crazy goal I'm not sure but my goal is that um by uh over the course of a students High School career that we're getting 70% of our students to take at least one to enrollment course and I think we can do it through the use of our academic planning tool that we're training our counselors to utilize um by by intentionally planning this in intentionally connecting to our Pathways um I really believe that that we can meet that goal um by because it will become a priority for everyone so our vision this Vision um will drive our implementation the quality and the capacity of our program that and then that will increase also the demand for the student to take the courses so um that's all I have for you tonight so I really want to thank um the Ed division for um the opportunity to engage in this important work and assigning such important work to to me I love doing it um and I want to thank the board for the continued vision and always striving to um have access and equity for our students in ahsd so I am open for questions I have a question for you sure on page one of the um presentation last one is students do not have to pass an exam to earn college credit does that mean they the the class they're taking they they don't have they don't have an exam like they would have in normal classes no what I what I mean is in comparison to AP where students might take an AP course and get an A but at the very end of it they still have to pass the AP exam where they may or may not get college credit um the student if they pass the college Course and there might be exams in the course but if they pass the course they get the college credit and so they don't have to they don't have success but still have to pass a test at the end and maybe not get college credit okay uh next question on the high school data Cypress College it shows that Kennedy has decreased the last three years have you come up for a reasons why theyve shown the decline from 236 down to 177 continuously so so overall last year with the exception of Cypress High School all of our schools took a dip and I'm not exactly sure why because we offered more classes than ever um I I don't have an exact answer for you Mr O'Neal but um what I um have been working on is trying to get an answer to that question and trying to figure out what are the barriers that are happening and what I really think it is is that we just have so many opportunities for our students and their attention is very divided and so we really really just need to do um a better job at just that academic planning piece and helping students understand where to fit it in so we can just continue to grow it I just think that they have a lot of things that they're working on I I think Mr O'Neal I mean that's a great question across the district you know this is um you know a cultural shift for our and our counselors have been really coming on board you know our admin teams our teachers and as you know as you know people are pretty territorial about their own areas of expertise so um I I think we're going to see a shift uh overall and continued overall growth okay thank you um another question you mentioned right towards the end of your presentation about how a student if they took a course starting in ninth grade every every H period they could graduate with an AA um how does that impact or is does it impact uh The Pledge that we have so that's a great question so um we um have not um explored what that would look like in terms of the guaranteed transfer to UCI um through the tag program so I think as we Implement these these systems those are conversations we need to return to our pledge partners and have um because that that that will likely be a reality that our students will get to that place and then we want to make sure they have a place to go so for now it's not it's not happening and so um but it's definitely possible that we need to that we need to start planning for it so it's a really great because if they if they graduated from high school and they graduate with a with an AA degree basically going from Community College you transfer to fouryear College correct that mean they would be applying in their senior year in November to transfer to a instead of to just apply uh into the next you know a four-year school yeah no I believe that they still would apply to a four-year school as a freshman um but then the credits are applied and they their status gets reassigned to be sophomore junior depending on um how many credits they have so um so they are still considered a first-time freshman um in their application process okay yeah okay thank you you're welcome I have a couple of questions so I I mean my questions were pretty much related to uh this discrepancy between Cypress and Fon but looks like uh we have Dr Souls on board and uh we're moving forward with some changes that would hopefully result in many of these things taken care of yes I I specifically want to emphasize the the embedded model uh if we could advocate for the embedded model at at feton because I think there will be a lot of Anaheim high school students who are impacted and I want to make sure that that's taken care of in that uh particular uh school and so here's I think I was also I also highlighted this problem with uh Kennedy High School and Oxford and Magnolia all kind of decreased in numbers in terms of taking dual emersion uh dual enrollment and this kind of relates to I know um and Maria and I were meeting with some students over I think it was last weekend and some of the students actually did bring up that issue which Mike just alluded to where you know some of them didn't know the fact that there were dual immersion or dual I keep calling dual okay dual enroll what you mean it's okay dual enrollment uh uh as an option for them right so if they don't know they're not going to take it if you sell it to them uh and if it's pushed I am sure many of these students will take it right so I think that's a considered effort that we have to do on our end as H admin team to make sure that that's emphasized with our counselors and our teachers um and the the I think the final point that I have is it's not a crazy idea to have a 70% of a high high school students taking at least one dual enrollment course so kudos to you Amanda for not only a great presentation but for setting the bar High I am always about let's set the bar high enough and if we fail we are at least hitting closer to that bar rather than you know having a low bar set so thank you for that and great I I the final question is I don't know if Mike or jiren could answer is there a mo there similar model which is been uh done by any of the other school districts around us no no there are we are leading in this area because it is difficult to change the culture both at the community college and inside the school district so um and you're and the issue with flon college too um the let me just interject I knew the answer but I wanted to say loud and clear that we the only one who had it out FR may I may I also just say too that actually when we look at the State of California is a little bit behind nationally in dual enrollment um in terms of participation and access for students are at 10% of students nationally are engaged and only about 3% in the state of California are engaged in dual enrollment um but what we're doing with Cypress College as Mike was Mr mat was about to say like we are literally the only in the area and Stephanie tier and I actually present at different places about our model and it's drawing a lot of attention because because other people are wondering how do you do that and so um it is it is pretty special so and as a m that is something that I want to emphasize so that we could get Fon on board because I think this is a enormous experience for our kids so a couple things uh Mr Jabar I mean I know that you're a graduate of Cypress College too so you can break but um these are really important points to for the board and to our community to understand in these Partnerships like for example Cypress College because we are going to be headed we are headed in declining enrollment we're headed to a deep Rec recession with Public's uh funding um as Dr freed mentioned we are the one District that's moving forward and preparing our kids for the world of work we know that our kids are going to have trouble getting jobs we are lining we're and that's why as Amanda said a lot of folks are interested in looking at us our high schools now are positioned where we can offer everything that's offered at the community college right based on these Pathways based on whatever we're interested in and that's huge and I think that the potential is truly unlimited in these Partnerships number two we the cabinet uh have met with and I'm going back to Fullerton College and putting pressure on them we met with the chancelor uh Dr Marshall who also and Amanda presented some of these same uh figures to them and um we basically said Dr freed said look at if Fullerton College is not going to get on board we are GNA shift schools over we already have shifted Magnolia and now for next year we shifted Savannah and I think that put a lot of tension on them because they need to understand they cannot survive without us feeding into them and um you know and and uh Dr Schultz to his credit totally understands that uh what's at stake uh because we will continue to push uh to shift our high schools over to Cypress College if we do not see movement from Flor and college right um Amanda I have a question now so much of getting the word out is so important I mean I remember as being a teacher if the teachers didn't get behind it or the counselors didn't get behind it then the word isn't there have we done any um training for our counselors on this whole dual enrollment stuff for them to thoroughly understand and then maybe refer students to this so what we have in place there's uh several things actually so we have a point person a point person counselor at every high school and we have monthly uh meetings with each college and we you know are updating and teaching and all and whatnot they work with their teams but more importantly we're really emphasizing um the use of the academic plan and and utilizing and adding dual enrollment to course selection because every student engages in course selection every year to pick their classes for the next year right so adding that as one of the choices even if it's after school so students can understand what's available indicate that they want they want to be a part of dual enrollment and then you know they pick their specific class later on so that was a strategy we started last year um in last year's course selection adding it to the academic plan we just created a new academic plan template so as early as seventh grade asking students to plan that in to some place in their High School um career um and to think about how they're going to um to engage with that and so so and then we hit it with the master schedule process we hit it with our CTE planning so we have several Avenues where we are um talking about it teaching about it expecting it um and the and the language that that Carlos and are really working with our sites to to switch is to say to tell our students like at Anaheim high school we are College and Career ready and so that means we're working towards meeting a through G we're going to complete a career pathway and we're going to take a du enrollment course so let's plan that into your academic plan so that's the work that we're doing with our counselors to um to use that language speak in those in those those narratives with students and to um to not be like well do you want to do this are you interested but just say we expect it and so let's plan it so that's kind of the the what we're working on right now so okay yeah very good thank you yeah Amanda you may have said it but I may have missed it are all of the dual enrollment classes at the at the high schools or are some only at the college so with Fullerton College so right now everything's virtual so in virtual world we're virtual but Norm um Cypress High Cypress College has some at the college campus and some at the high school campuses so it really depends on what it is so like the auto classes and like the CPR and Kinesiology the more Hands-On classes are at the college um but the other classes are at the high school campuses for Fullerton College everything's at the high school campuses um we haven't entered into having courses at the college yet um we do think that it's important at some point if students do take multiple dual enrollment classes to eventually get to a place where they are taking at least one or two on the college campus to help them with that transition into higher ed even more so so at the high school campus they're just engaging in the college level coursework but then as they get older to be able to get to the college campus helps them even more with their Readiness when they enter higher education so so those are some of the um other goals that we have to to create those natural transitions from the high school to the college thank you you're welcome Amanda could you repeat the the high school data from Cypress College uh yeah so the the total numbers anarie please uh yeah so Cypress high school has had 866 students Kennedy 734 Oxford 961 Magnolia 320 and Western 518 over the last four years yeah I appreciate that um I just want to thank you for highlighting um the the opportunities that we're learning as we go and you're shifting you know shifting Savannah over thank you so much that as Al mentioned students are pretty Savvy and they still they understand going on and so um they were asking for that and thank you for listening to them you're amazing and we're so lucky to have you thank you really appreciate that and Marie yes I would like to say something all right okay I I just want to thank you for this wonderful presentation over my lifetime I have seen Trends in education like many areas of life and some have been dilus in my view but I can tell you this dual enrollment I think it started with a parent who uh at Oxford in our first uh class and um the parent also taught at Cyprus and I saw this began back many many years ago and to have seen it growing such as it has is remarkable and I think it's one of the positive trends that we're seeing in education and I'm just so grateful for what you've done and it's obviously been a work of art for many of you to put your imprint your ideas and and bring it forward so I just can tell you I love it I want to thank you and wish you continued success thank you Mrs Smith we appreciate that thank you thank you just uh thank you Katherine I would just also uh as soon as we can present this to our feeder our feeder elementary schools because they the sooner they learn about this the sooner they can jump on board with us I I I think they need to learn this and then um Carlos are we embedding uh our dual enrollment information with our parents are we embedding that education piece um it's spoken of in terms of our pledge are in general um we can I know our coffee chats our faces talk about it in in detail at their sites in terms of their different formal and informal conversations but um I mean we again we can we can embed it it'll just uh it'll be additional module time and well we being creative we yeah definitely have to make an an emphasis an intentional you know promotion with our parents I think as Mike said I I'm echoing now um that uh it it's a shift in in the way that you know parents know how to get through school to get their students to college you know the AP uh you know courses and um this is better this is so much better than that sorry a teachers but we love you but I mean this is doable for for everybody that's what I love about it this is for all of our all of our students so um let's move on before I get myself into trouble items of business uh resolutions 11.1 resolution number db-5 covid-19 effects on participation in ex extracurricular curricular activities minimum academic standards action item second a second do we have a presentation

for the district I thank you Mr Jabar I miss piy I and I want to say that we're getting all the bells and whistles on these buses that included the air conditioning the camera you know and I think oh and and other stuff and so I think this is phenomenal we really lucked out three big buses yes we did Miss uh Smith a grateful I and I vote I as well thank you 113 board policy multiple policy second reading action item [Music] can I um is there possibility is there a possibility that we could actually pull 11 uh 113.5 11.3.3 and 11.3.2 I unfortunately I was doing some research and I couldn't complete my res search is there a possibility that we could uh uh move that for maybe the next board meeting to approve sure uh we just have to amend the motion all right so I'll amend the motion for and we've already crossed off and dropped 11.34 so I move for board policies 11.3.1 2 and three and 11.3 8 n and 10 okay do I get a second second okay all right did you want to speak to that or just moving on I just do we need to to stipulate that we're leaving out the others or do does it if no by by by lack of action they'll just carry forward to next month okay very good thank you Carl okay uh Mr O'Neal hi Mr Jabar hi Miss piy hi Miss Smith I and I vote I 114 agreement sge Consulting Engineers action item removed second moved and seconded uh I had a question but I'll just I'll uh I'll call Patty all right um Mr let me just clarify something I know uh there was a question asked and I think the answer was given in terms of what the rigging system was but I I just want to make sure there was some concerns in the past about the I don't know if it was regarding the rigging system or the lighting system at Anaheim so I want to make sure that whatever decision that we're making uh that we include our theater and dance teachers in terms of input just to get their input if there if it is necessary uh and even the staff will work there before we move forward or whatever in terms of uh action that we're taking that we are including their input first thank you but isn't this basically Al just to make sure the rigging is is secure this has nothing to do with improving I I my understanding was it's just to make sure it's not going to fall out of the ceiling or wherever it's anchored it's phase one phase two and phase three right so we're in phase one so I I think let's make sure that we put out the call especially that we're in a virtual setting uh with the phase one so that way if there are concerns they could bring it up and then when we move into phase two and phase three we will at least have that input and move forward and Colleen's nodding her head yes yes yes for all of that all righty uh Mr O'Neal hi Mr Jabar hi Miss piery hi Miss Smith hi and I vote I

action item some second moov to seconded um Mr O'Neal by Mr Jabar I miss piery hi Miss Smith hi and I vote I 1110 agreement cyber Security Services Orange County Superintendent of Schools ocde action item so moved second I have a question go ahead so um I think Eric is here right so I just wanted to find out about what kind of services are we going to be receiving with this uh particular um action item I know we're spending 8,000 oops so the the the county is uh has hired a a cyber security architect um that will cover all all school districts and so um the uh the architect will do something called the penetration test um where they basically attach a device and and try to um compromise our Network um and then provide us feedback on how to improve our security they'll also work with us um in developing uh policies and proced procedures like incident um response manuals look at our uh security practices and and our tools and make recommendations and um so to the extent they can do that across all 30 districts um that those are the services that uh that the architect will provide okay so it's just a matter of them penetrating and giving us the necessary support because uh there was an idea not probably about a couple years ago where UCI launched or UCI actually brought uh uh not only school districts but also cities together to see if they could form a jpa uh in order to kind of bring together these type of resources because I know cyber security is pretty expensive so um I don't know where that initiative is at at this point um maybe we could do some research but I would also see Eric I don't know if we as a district have taken a look at costs associated with this and then maybe possibly creating a jpa if our Feer districts are interested in terms of forming a uh jpa to kind of really focus on cyber security itself because I'm reading a lot of Articles coming out of uh different states where you know folks hijack the system and then it gets really costly for us to get out of it so what are your thoughts on it and is there anything any thought given to that so we have I haven't heard um anything from the UCI jpa um for a good probably 18 months um I'm not sure if it's proceeded beyond the inions and then with with our the county trying to do that on a countywide basis um and the the feeder districts that we have are also participating in in a cyber architect um services so there's there's kind of two tiers there there will be the districts that elect to pay for the service the County's basically doing a pass through based on enrollment size um if a district elects not to do it then there the array of services um are not as robust as if we go forward with an item like this and it's for cyber security it's a pretty nominal amount um compared to what a what a professional that dedicated to to cyber security okay so explore it'd be pretty expensive yeah explore and find out and see if not you know maybe uh the County of Orange could I think County of Orange is looking at something like that too so thank you so uh just along those lines uh how I mean we have to trust it's the county but um if they mess up our system we have backup correct that's correct okay and we we we actually had that conversation with uh the gentleman's uh um Kevin and we've talked with Kevin about how they would place this to scan our Network so it's it's a device that's basically like in a scanning mode and um um we would take preventive ma measures to uh um make sure that it's it's not um in impacting Network Services okay we trust you with third party vendors all right fantastic okay uh Mr O'Neal hi Mr Jabar hi Miss piery hi and Miss Smith hi and I vote I 1111 agreement and Marie did was 11.9 pulled because I don't see that we did that it's a

million action item second Al do you have any question yeah uh I just wanted to uh so the 100 gigabyte of data per year what does that look like for a uh a student um er I think you're on mute or we can't hear you [Music] try I could I can provide some data on that um from the the information that we've had with our existing cell phones the vast majority of our students that are using our hotspots um the the 100 gigabytes per year would uh would provide sufficient access throughout the year based on we we have the 1 million um hotpots that we've had for we're in our third year and then with the T-Mobile we have devices going back as early as April um so there there are students that would definitely use up that 100 gab um well for a year but the M vast majority of the students um are on track to be at or under that amount so these 2,650 units are um extra right so the the the number of units is the uh the the total amount that T-Mobile has approved the the school district to receive so we could receive up to uh that amount oh okay so we we have not received it yet okay I remember uh you had given given us a kind of options of what needs to be done and what we where we are at in terms of hotspots and Wi-Fi connectivity so this was included in that list um this is this would be part of it as the one million so this this this pro project or this uh um yeah this program I

so kudos to Scott Rendell and his team uh MJ and paty and thank you to Dr Renee Bryant for writing it up but uh I'll bring the Bell yay plus it came with a $1,000 uh scholarship to be donated to the aim program so congratulations to the entire team and to the uh Board of Trustees thank you super I have a quick update if I if I may um so as the board is aware we have been progressing beautifully I think with our ethnic studies task force we've been meeting regularly and we're getting closer uh to bring recommendations forward to you and goes of course Carlos Hernandez has done a great job facilitating uh and leading that group but I have to say at our last meeting we had a handful of students that came to present I think they also had the opportunity meet with trusty Jabar and board president Randle tro and and they just blew us away so I want to give a quick shout out to these kids because some of them are current students in our district and a few I think are alumni of our district but they were just amazing and not were they not only were they able to keep up with all the adults in in the in the conversation but they actually brought resources and uh supports to our team through their own research and homework they actually met with assemblyman Jose Medina so they were just absolutely amazing uh so I can't say enough good things about these students but I want to read off their names if that's okay uh anha Alicia zti Lyn H Jella Gamboa siia menesis Freda goia Alejandra Hernandez Daniela Peña Zena gashi Lena win and Samantha bugman there's also a student named Zoe but I don't remember her last name I couldn't get it so if you're watching I also want to give you uh mad respect as well so again great great job I just wanted you to know um how amazing they were and soon we will be providing updates regarding both our ethnic studies and math task force that we're working through so that's my update Happy Thanksgiving everyone thank you Dr freed uh wonderful to acknowledge those students they worked really hard and and they blew uh Mr Jabar and I away too out of the out of the park um anybody else have a board I mean um sorry a cabinet report I would just like to wish all of our employees a fantastic uh Thanksgiving and uh and a great great week next week and I Echo that that sentiment thank you alrighty um Mr O'Neal yes your board report sir oh board report very Bor um College and Career Fair uh again fantastic uh kudos to everybody that put that on um look look forward to maybe maybe even have an iners next next year um T sister city meeting not too much going on there uh because of everything has been cancelled and I just wish everybody a happy and safe Thanksgiving stay away from everybody have a small one and be safe thank you thank you Mr O'Neal Mr Jabar yeah uh I just want to say attend of the Roop meeting uh but I I want to highlight the students again thank you jiren for going over their Nam so I don't have to but I wanted to uh give special kudos to an for uh really leading the group uh diversify ntion diversify our nation uh and those students really I think an Marie mentioned uh blew us away and uh I know that they were bringing a lot of resources to the ethnic studies uh meeting that they were doing on Tuesday so I'm sure that you guys were blown away too as said but that really made me proud of the work that we are doing at Anaheim Union High School District I think uh we are developing great leaders and I really saw probably all of the folks who on that uh Team uh at some point in time running for School Board running for city council running for State because they were very very sharp uh not only in presenting their facts but also uh advocating on behalf of what they were there at the table for so uh I want to give a huge huge kudos to all of them and hopefully uh when this pandemic is done uh regardless when it is I would love to meet them in person just so that uh we could you know acknowledge them at a meeting um I also had the opportunity of meeting with some parent groups who were concerned about certain aspects of uh uh you know coming back to school and the uh the uh the bringing back teachers so those were good meetings a good input meetings so I'm very very happy about those uh and kindness award are my boss supervisor dut CH4 District 4 um awarded kind kindness award so it was is perfectly fitting uh hopefully what we can do as a district is I know that he only give Awards kindness award for folks who are representing in his cities uh but maybe for the next year uh I don't know if I asked that last year but for next year we could forward some of our kindness nominees uh to that process uh I think you know they could be recognized at a county level for the work that they've done and uh also receive a certificate and a pin and if they are the city's nominee they get a cool award and get get highlighted with a video so thank you very much and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you not only on this call but everybody watching uh we have a lot to be thankful and uh Happy Thanksgiving thank you Mr Jabar Miss piery okay it's hard to remember over the past month I mean at first I didn't think I have done anything but looking at my calendar I guess I have okay I attended one of the first well the the ethnic studies meeting after uh our last board meeting but I failed to meet to make the uh let's see the one on Tuesday uh I have to tell everybody this is really neat on Tuesday I was writing up to the La Mission to deliver a Suburban full of food um one of our prior students who went to catella high school heard about the need at the mission and he kind of started spreading the word and collecting money he and another gal collected $1,700 and then he wanted to make the money go as far as they could so they asked my daughter who had been his teacher if she would take him to Sam's Club so she did well she didn't realize that he had a little car and that her car would be the one transporting all this stuff so I went with her but I have to shout out to him I don't know his last name she calls him Mo but he was a graduate I think he graduated like 10 years ago from catella but I just you know he did a really good thing just on his own not part of any real organization and so this is what one of our prior students has done and they did a great job so so that's why I didn't go to the other ethnic meeting on Tuesday so but I did go to um one of the opening of schools task force and I also went to a um csba meeting uh that was held and that was interesting where you know from the some of the other districts around and csba it was it was put forth by Jay Justin our csba rep and then um oh I attended the principal's meeting for a little bit um I had to uh leave before it was over but um I wanted to see what they were talking about when they talked about compassionate grading and what have you so that was I I wish I could have stayed for the whole thing um and then that's about it um doesn't seem like much but other than getting tons of emails and uh texts from some of the different parents and teachers um I want to say to everybody I hope you have a very good safe Thanksgiving week um I intend to run away to my river house and isolate there so I hope it'll be warmer so Happy Thanksgiving everyone thank you Miss piery Miss Smith I would like to share with you was a quick story I uh needed a new battery in my car and I told my husband I was running to the district office and he said well why don't you stop at AutoZone and you can get a new battery so a young chap was putting a new battery in my car and I said to him you make that look so easy you're so facil and he told me that he learned it in autoshop and I said ' where did you go to school and he Saidi graduated from Savannah in 19 and I'm going to college right now and I remember a trend years ago where we were getting rid of these programs of metal shop auto shop wood shop and I always said it was a terrible Trend and now this young man is appreciating and using the skills he learned learned at Savannah and he's taking to college and I said what are your what's your pathway in college and he said I want to become a mechanical engineer and it's a beautiful story because I know from my own experience that these kinds of things that we learn cook in cooking class sewing class we take through our life so when I came home I asked my husband who built a formula Jr race car when he was in medical school in Indianapolis and he and a classmate who built it with him raced it at Indianapolis and when I came home I asked him to put uh air in my tires so I know these skills can last a lifetime and I'm grateful for much this Thanksgiving that we live in a great country called America and that we are great and wonderful human beings and so my gratitude at Thanksgiving is for all those wonderful people that surround us in the Anaheim High School family and in our inner community and our outer Community thank you one and all thank you Miss Smith uh I attended um my gasela meeting uh last night my ROP meeting uh attended a Personnel commission meeting I met with our Auditors uh I attended the opening of school's task force and the uh ethnic studies um task force meeting where the students were presenting uh and uh I sat while uh and and and looked and smiled while Michael accepted our uh additional Award with our um our electrical JC uh folks and um I did the uh Mig course and so now I'm an actual Master's in governance graduate yay hooray so uh it's it was a it was it's grueling um they had about five courses and there are four hours each and had to kind of Juggle that uh while I was doing other things too but um uh I'm very thankful that uh I still have a brain that I can capture and learn um but it's just I think it's a wonderful thing to uh accomplish um as board uh electives every year we have a chance to uh hone in our skills and um and uh and and get an upgrade uh as you might say um every year when we do the aec um uh uh convention uh with the school boards Association if you think about it school board members are the only elected officials who really can um you know can can um uh get a get educated on governance and get governance training and so I think it's pretty amazing and very lucky to uh have gone through this course I waited eight years because I didn't want to travel to Sacramento or uh San Diego to do it um the courses were going to be held in in ceritos so um I took advantage of it and then Co hit and so uh everything went um online so uh very very lucky for that um moving on we are uh meeting um our next meeting well not it won't be our next meeting but Tes uh our regular meeting is December 15 and any suggested agenda items at this time I do um I would like to suggest that the board discuss um material that came to the school board from Oxford Academy and there are concerns by the Oxford Academy Korean parent Association and the Oxford Academy Chinese parent Association and I am very distressed that we're dividing ourselves that we don't all think of ourselves as Americans and we have a PTSA that all can join at Oxford and I would like this brought up um at this time we are working on ethnic studies to help bring us all together to understand each other and our different cultures and based on my thoughts here I would love to have the board think this through because I find this uh very difficult to accept I'm not quite sure what exactly it is Kathy so I I would love to support you as a second but I'm not really sure what you're asking for so unfortunately I can't I don't know what it is so the these are groups that uh form uh you know they're they're not really part of the school these are parents that do this separately so I'm not sure Katherine if really that's within our um jurisdiction to do that to to you know tell them that they can form or not form that's my understanding you know on campus I I I don't think anybody's meeting on campus right now but don't think they meet on campus but if we were not in covid and school was normal would be meeting on campus to me it's exclusionary they're exclusive that we can't all meet and discuss the same issue as parents of of kids in the same school I find it offensive well I I don't know what their Charter is what their goal is um I think the school district would have to review what what type of organ organization it is because we do have certain uh guidelines to go by and in approving uh individuals or groups to meet on the campus um so you know I I I don't know how to respond well I never knew about it until I read this material that came to me today and I mean if if you're referring to the emails that came through today I could just say that Kathy any organization any group of folks have the freedom of right to go ahead and form an organization and represent and advocate for themselves so I I wouldn't be against it I would basically very well support an organization if they're actually forming to advocate for what they believe in and if if you're talking about the Chinese American parents and the Vietnamese American parents if they have an organization they're planning on advocating on behalf of students so there wasn't a second on that is what I'm hearing my question would be why why would they not be all members of the PTSA and discuss the issues that they're concerned and and want to uh to discuss why can't that all be under one organization why are we fing ourselves that's a question to ask them and I will yeah Kathy and I think I I need to go back and look at what you know the email you're speaking of but I think it was just a group who call themselves parents and you know were I mean I don't recall exactly but I but I do think and agree with the fact that this is an outside group they formed their own little group and their and their concerns so that they're not an official group as far as the school district is concerned so that and then I don't think we have any jurisdiction over them because that's you know it's it's like some of your religious groups that form and come and and express their opinion so I don't think it's something we can really discuss yeah so uh there wasn't a second on that so we are going to go back into uh closed session we have one more item to discuss okay now do we go back to the phone number that we used before or can we can't stay on this uh particular close session I'm going to have to find

and we we're still hopeful that we'll get some money back from that for fema but from fema but we don't know yet and fifty thousand dollars appropriated to pay for an additional police vehicle with all of its associated equipment all of that in the operations fund and the education fund 468 thousand dollars be appropriate to pay the teacher appreciation grant which you just approved um three hundred and twelve thousand dollars uh appropriated to pay staff raises of two percent that were previously approved 471 thousand dollars uh appropriated to pay for new staff in the education fund that were that started at the beginning of the 2021 school year uh money for this appropriation will come from a combination of cash balance teacher appreciation grant funds and new formula revenue for the second half of the calendar year 2020 that we receive based on the new formula on on additional students the beginning of the school year and i'd like to just say that this is also something that we have done most every year anytime this state provides additional money in the formula that begins with the school year or anytime we give raises or things like the teacher appreciation grant that happen at the end of the year so this is pretty much the same process that we've done for the past few years at this time so i turn this back to the president to complete the hearing thank you dr gabriel at this time it's appropriate if there are any members of the public that have any comments that they have with respect to the request for additional appropriations i ask them to signify by raising their hand seeing no hands raised it appears there are no public members that like to comment tonight so i now close this public hearing are there any other board members who have any questions or comments with request with respect to the request for additional appropriations i know you touched on it dr gabriel but this is a kind of like our previous item is a process we do every year the items obviously are a little different are a little different year to year but yeah you know long long the same thought process so just clarifying that for everybody this isn't additional money that was outside the budget it's just how we move things around within the budget at times these are all expenses obviously we've been we've planned for we plan for it has approved yep thank you any other questions or comments from any board members hearing no questions or comments do i have a motion mr president i move that we approve the resolution authorizing the additional appropriations as presented do i hear a second second thank you mr alexander mr russell all those in favor please signify by saying i i opposed the eyes have it five zero we next move on to an additional public hearing and this is public bearing with respect to g.o bonds for sugar grove elementary this evening's board meeting has appropriate and appropriately advertised as a hearing on the bonds for the sugar elementary project and i will turn it over to mr danny's to run here thank you dr arkanov i now open this public hearing and i'll call dr gabriel to provide some background information and make a presentation with respect to the sugar grove geo bond request i would like to say i know you like to have guests introduced and we have mr jeff calkin bush who's our council on this project on this item and also the next item on the agenda as dr long said he can answer the tough questions if you have any um so this is the third time that we've been in front of the i'm sorry the fourth time that we've been in front of the board on the secret go project if you turn to the next slide there you can see that we were this was discussed on board meetings on june 18th july 23rd and september the 24th this evening will be the last time that the board discusses this prior to the actual availability of the money and as you can see there the money will be available in december and then sometime in the spring of next year dr long will bring will bring back the bids for this work and it's expected to be completed by 2023.

just a summary this project cost this project is 15 million 900 000 and the architects are currently working on the plans for this uh payment of these bonds will not start until 2023 so this doesn't impact any immediate budget but we have in our as part of our long-term planning factor these payments into our anticipated tax rates and we do not think that this these payments will cause the tax rate to increase work on this as it was previously said will be completed by the summer of 2023 i've attached all of the slides from the last presentation there hasn't there's no change in those but they're they're here as a matter of reference if anyone has any questions so at this point i turn it back over to mr daniels to complete the hearing thank you dr gabriel this is the appropriate time for members of the community to speak on the request for the issuance of the general obligation bonds for sugar grove elementary project are there anyone from the community who like to speak if so i ask if you'd raise your hand seeing no members of the community seeking to speak i now close the public hearing any questions or comments from anyone on the board with respect to the request for the geo bonds for the sugar growth project i guess i'll just speak up and say i still have concerns about such a large project falling when it's going to fall i understand this is bond money outside of our budget normal budget it's a large project going on when we could have some really down times possibly so i'm just concerned about that what the optics would look like and so forth it's a needed project i'll agree with that it's falling at the wrong time thank you mr russell any other questions or comments are the borrowing terms pretty favorable right now that's the hard question for you mr pacquiao they're very favorable right now trade 10-year treasury is below one percent uh we've sold some bonds for like your general obligation bonds that were less than one percent we're probably looking at these uh rates would stay which the federal uh treasury is wow that's some of the lowest rates i think i've ever heard so the short answer is yes [Laughter] i'm an attorney so i have to give another attorney a hard time every now and then mr daniels thank you for putting that in layman's service [Laughter] any other questions or comments you're taking loan applications out wow hearing uh no additional comments and thank you mr quackenbush for your for your information uh do i hear a motion mr do i hear a second second thank you mr toomey and mr alexander all those in favor signify by saying i i opposed nay let the record reflect 4-1 and the eyes have it thank you next i'll turn it over again to dr gabriel for consideration of the approval of the sale of property adjacent to sugar grove elementary and just before i turn it over to you i want to say that one time i read that incorrectly that sounded like we were selling sugar growth so we're not selling sugar grow we're selling the property adjacent vacant land i'm very pleased to bring this to the board because we started this process in 2017-18 took bids had it sold and and then because of difficulties getting sewer access the sale fell through so we started it again as you can see in september 11th we put a notice in the paper about a an auction um and um dr arfan arkanov and i contacted i think five different potential buyers um we took bids on october the 14th there was one bid received it was a million two from mi homes that's the amount for the minimum that we uh specified in the in the documentation and that is the amount that was bid in 2017-18 when it was done before so at this point we've got a a uh a purchase agreement which uh jeff clock and bush has has worked on with their attorneys and the attorneys on both sides have agreed to this agreement so at this time we're recommending that the board approve the bid from mi homes uh in the amount of a million uh two hundred thousand dollars and deposit the money in the rainy day fund to be used for the first for the future purchase of land thank you dr gabriel do i have any questions or comments remaining on the board with respect to the proposed sale of the land adjacent to sugar grove i guess i'll comment and say good work i mean we have land there that we sold once for this amount and with a contingency it didn't go through this time that contingency is not there correct but there are some contingencies but not the same but not yet sewer's not the problem we're back here because they have assured us that they'll that they will be able to work with greenwood to get the appropriate permits on this property okay but i guess good perseverance to get this thing sold because it's money we can we can use oh yes absolutely and i know from the rds i know from sitting on the rdc committee they i think they've that area has they're almost done with the server installing the additional server capacity in that area that doesn't apply to the west or the south yet but in that area it does so do we have any idea when mi might begin to put houses in there well i think they're um what's the amount of

bellis with a pickup for the first down and the mustangs are in the red zone [Music] first down for the mustangs and kyle velasquez just keeps moving those chains we're just getting down the field but this doesn't really mean much to them the only thing that matters to the mustangs is that they get in the end zone and that's what they're looking for a lot of people are looking for a flag for all the shelving and whatnot but they're just not going to get it here we go two receivers left one right burge isn't at full back bonaparte was in the backfield but whistles are blown and there is a

people that always overeats at thanksgiving and then i regret it later but yeah because i like stuffing i like uh i like ham actually better than turkey if i'm just going to be honest uh and yeah i do like my pumpkin pie though because i usually make the crust from scratch and then i add real pumpkin into the filling so could you share your pumpkin pie recipe yeah i'm still debating that too uh you know we talked about doing it live i might still if if you're interested i could actually maybe make a pumpkin pie um but it wouldn't be live i don't think yeah so okay i think that's about it yeah i

so kyle villas is leading the entire team in rushing right now and he's a quarterback so if that doesn't tell you how fearless he is just to go out there and run around i don't know what does he's a very smart player he knows what he's doing he's an athlete here we go two receivers left one right burgers in the backfield that fullback to kyle ellis's right would be kayla bonaparte there's a flag on the field it's a false start on the offense it looks like it was on it looked like the penalty was on mustang's wide receiver it was on number 11 michael kristoff second and 15 for the mustangs other than second and ten two receivers right one left two men in the backfield the handoff gets to caleb who makes a nice [Music] the mustangs on the board so early a beautiful run by senior caleb bonafide bonaparte and it wouldn't be senior night without a senior scoring a touchdown would it ladies and gentlemen that is a 17-yard carry on second and 15.

that is bold and the mustangs are to go for two and i believe it is because kicker and punter kicker or kicker and pawn to the stathophilus brothers are not here tonight [Music] velos takes the snap fires caught for the two-point conversion [Applause] and the mustangs have an 8 to nothing lead very early on in this game what a play what a play [Music] and caleb bonaparte with a touchdown on senior night the senior himself with a very nice carry that was a big big move by the mustangs go for two so early on in this game but they did it and the risk reward paid off and the mustangs are on the board [Music] and the mustangs are going to kick off right now and the kick is up and is being returned by a mountaineer and he gets past midfield and he's out of bounds at the 45-yard line outcome the mountaineers the west orange mountaineers [Music] the mountaineers led by quarterback number 11 mason murdoch shotgun formation murdoch takes the snap hands off goes he makes a nice move and he only gets a gain of maybe one after being swallowed up by that mustang's defense [Music] second and ten for the mountaineers [Applause] the man on that carry before was number three shakai carson they break the huddle shotgun formation two receivers on each side murdoch takes the snap handoff goes to carson again who gets a small gain on this run a gain of three and it'll be third and seven for the mountaineers this mustang's defense is very fired up tonight i was told by the mustangs players and coach cinque himself that it all starts and ends in the trenches on both sides so it starts and ends with the running game and starts and ends with the runs defense and so far they're doing very good here two receivers each side for the mountaineers murdoch takes the snap looks left fires and it is out of reach for the wide receiver number eight jason reigns and it'll be fourth and seven for the mountaineers as i believe they're bringing out the punting team and they are they look like they're going to punt this ball away as caleb bonaparte is back for the return who had a spectacular touchdown early on this game we have not seen a special teams touchdown all year from the mustangs but we could see it here tonight on senior night folks [Applause] [Music] and it's a delay of game on the mountaineers four minutes of 55 seconds remaining in the first quarter they were looking for a delayed game but they did end up calling a timeout my bad they called the timeout but it looked like it was a delayed game each team has used a timeout so far mustangs for the 8-nothing lead and so far the mustangs are playing very well on each end and out come the mountaineer special teams caleb back for the back for the return and the kick is up by punter aiden healy they're gonna let the punt bounce takes a nice bounce for the mustangs and it is picked up at about the 23-yard line where the mustangs will begin their drive [Applause] and out comes the mustangs offense last drive on offense pretty good overall i mean kyle vellis started running the ball around you know they got a they got a five yard penalty for a false start and they made a they made a risky move running it they made risky move for running it and it ended up working out a 17-yard touchdown by the senior himself [Applause] three receivers to ellis's right one on his left he takes the snap he throws right a screen and it is caught for a about a five yard reception by donovan swayze [Music] my apologies folks that was luke cenary on the pickup of six and it'll be second and fourth for the mustangs with 25 two receivers on each side shotgun for vellus he hands the ball off and to maldonado and he gets he goes backwards a loss of one and it'll be third down and six for the mustangs placed on the 21 yard 21.5 yard line velos takes the snap rolls left looking looking fires and it was incomplete [Music] looking for luke scenario on the play and it'll be fourth down in seven [Music] mustangs to pump the ball and the kick is up nearly blocked the ball bounces out of bounds very close out of bounds and it is picked up at the 47-yard line and that is where the mountaineers will begin their drive and there is an injured mountaineer on the field [Music] i always say ladies and gentlemen whether it is a mustang or a mountaineer or whatever team we're playing against that is hurt whenever there's a player hurt it doesn't matter what team you're a fan of you never ever want to see an injury and it looks like he's walking off the field in his own power and the crowd puts their hands together for the mountaineers [Music] first intent for the mountaineers two receivers left one right shotgun formation murdoch takes the snap very high snap the hand off goes to his running back and he makes a nice move and he's brought down at about the 33-yard line that'll be a gain of 14 yards and a mountaineers first down carried by shakai carson [Music] first down for the mountaineers paul spotted at the 34-yard line two receivers on each side handoff goes to carson he bounces to the outside and he's going to fight forward for a few extra yards let's see where they place the ball this is very close to first down so it's gonna be second and one for the mountaineers one receiver on the left two on the right one lined up at tight end carson in the backfield gets the handoff and he's gonna go and he got a very nice game there and brought it to about the 13-yard line and that is another first time another first down by the mountaineers and they're going to hurry up offense they want to keep the fire going mustangs are trying to make a substitution they do murdoch calling it audible takes the snap high snap handoff goes he fights forward and he's brought down at about the six yard line a four on the play and it'll be second and goal for the mountaineers [Music] and goal murdoch takes the snap another high one and he stopped in the backfield [Applause] very nice play for the mustangs loss of six on the play the silent assassin brian feliciano back there to blow it up and it'll be third and goal for the mountaineers [Music] [Applause] [Music] takes the snap looking throws end zone one on one and the ball is out of the back of the end zone and it'll be fourth down for the mountaineers great coverage there by donovan showtime swayze very nice defense there the mountaineers looking for a flag they're just not going to get it a minute and 34 left to go in the first quarter [Music] it looks like they're going to take their field goal or they're going to try for it [Music] the kick is up and it is waiting for signal it is through and it is an 8-3 lead for the mustangs mountaineers on the board very nice stop by the mustangs bend but don't break good way to keep him out of the end zone and the mountaineers are going to kick off to the mustangs and they're going to get back on offense [Music] mustang special teams out there ready to return the kick donovan swayze and caleb bonaparte are back there to return it mountaineers going to kick [Applause] off and the kick is up and it is way to the left and the ball is picked up by a mustang it's taken out of bounds at about the 30-yard line and there are flags everywhere let's see what the penalty is [Music] we're waiting on the flag refs are discussing it i believe the flag was unnecessary roughness on the mountaineers and the mustangs move up to the 37-yard line two receivers left one right velos takes the snap hands off goes he makes a nice move and he's brought down at the 45-yard line that's a that is a very nice eight-yard gain by jacob muldonado [Applause] [Music] maldonado hasn't really been that involved in the running game so far it has mainly been quarterback kyle velas taking a lot of carries himself and caleb bonaparte who had a rushing touchdown which is very interesting because maldonado has been excellent for them mountaineers looking for a flag man in motion play action pass vellus deep drop he's looking deep and it is nearly picked off but incomplete looking for bonaparte on that play and lucinary was in there too and it'll be third down and two yards to go for the mustangs [Music] huddle breaks for the mustangs two receivers lined up right one left burgers and maldonado in the backfield burgers at fullback man in motion hands off goes to maldonado he's going to run behind his lineman look for the first down let's see if he got it it's all about the spot of the ball clock is still ticking are they going to give it to them no he's about a yard short and it'll be fourth and a yard to go they put it on the 45 and a half and they're just gonna let the clock wind down and that is the end of the first quarter mustangs eight and mountaineers three and we'll be back after a short intermission [Music] we're going away oh [Music] and we are back for the second quarter play and it's gonna be fourth and two for the mustangs and they're going to punch it away to the mountaineers and the punt is up very surprised they're punting due to the fact that their normal punter is in here the ball takes a pretty good bounce for the mustangs out of bounds at the 32 and out come the mountaineers the mountaineers last time on offense drove down to the red zone very nice stop by the mustangs and they are looking to put up a touchdown here if they do they take the lead but the mustangs defense is going to not let that happen once again ladies and gentlemen tonight is senior night we are supposed to appreciate all your seniors if you do want to see all the seniors you can go back to the very very beginning of the stream and you will see all of the seniors being introduced and being walked down by their parents first intent by the mountaineers murdoch takes the snap handoff goes to carson bounces to the outside and he's brought down after a after about no gain very good play by the mustangs shaquai brimley there and this is the second injury of the game one for each team this time is a mustang on down on the field like i said earlier in the stream regardless of what team you like the mountaineers the mustangs no matter what team is playing injuries are never good looks like it is his leg i can't quite tell the mustang that is down right now he gets booked he gets back up on his own power that was nick virgi's [Applause] he seems okay nick burgess very good player works very hard and he was able to get off the field on his own power so that is good to hear folks but here comes the mountaineers second and ten on the 30-yard line last play was a handoff that went nowhere two receivers left one right shotgun formation murdoch high snap looks right fires caught for a first down brought down at the 47-yard line [Applause] and the ball did come out after the catch but they're gonna call him down and they're gonna say that he just let go of the ball they're gonna call to catch here we go first and ten high snap murdock hands off the carson bounces right brought down at midfield second and seven [Music] the original the original reception that got him first down by ayman hankins it looked like it was really he really dropped it a lot of mustangs were looking for it and they're just gonna call it a catch because when he fell down the ball came out but they're going to call it a catch but it's second and six high snap mustangs blitz caught and it'll be a first down for the mountaineers brought down at the 41 yard line eight yard gain [Applause] reception made by shakai carson the running back so far they are driving down the field pretty well let's hope for a mustang stop two receivers left one right hand off goes to carson he bounces to the inside he is met by a brick wall of mustangs and he'll lose a yard mustangs think it's a fumble swayze taking it back but they're going to call him down hernandez back there to meet him and it'll be second and nine for the mustangs or second and nine for the mountaineers [Music] he's looking takes the snap has a lot of time steps up in the pocket looking deep and it is no good and it'll be fourth down and 10 to go for the mountaineers let's see what decision they make [Music] looks like the mountaineers are gonna go for it on fourth down and ten this could be a really big turning point for the game folks [Music] murdoch trying to get his players set but the mustangs crowd is getting pretty loud and they'll take a timeout that's their second time out of the half eight minutes and four seconds left on the clock mustangs have an 8-3 [Music] lead mustangs seem to be playing pretty decent defense here although they did let them drive down the field a lot there was a big penalty that didn't happen but the mustangs are really playing good on this drive it's fourth and ten and if they don't get it the mustangs just get to go back go back on offense they've been doing pretty well on offense so far but this could be a big turning point of the game for either team [Music] all right here we go two receivers left one right carson in the backfield murdoch takes a snap he's gonna throw he doesn't have a lot of time he's looking right and it is caught by a mountaineer for a 12 yard gain and a first down [Music] it's caught by number eight jason rains senior and that is a huge huge play for the mountaineers there's a first down at the and they're at the 10 yard line first and goal let's see what the mountaineers put together here and now that they're in the red zone second time this game last time they got shot out in the red zone and they had to take a field goal and it was good let's see if the same thing happens again or maybe they get stopped or they could score a touchdown all right one receiver on each side high snap handoff goes to carson he bounces to the outside past the five and he's in for a mountaineers touchdown shakai carson gets the touchdown and the mountaineers have their first lead of the game it is a nine to eight lead and they're going to come out and go for the extra point instead of going for two very nice run by shakai carson he was able to bounce to the outside and make a nice play i don't know if you guys could have seen there but caleb bonaparte was coming off the field lipping a little bit we'll see about him later hopefully he's okay and they're gonna go for the extra point the kick is up and [Music] there's a flag on the field it was good but there is a flag on the field let's see the penalty [Applause] and the penalty is on the mountaineers it's a personal foul on them and the extra yardage for the penalty will be in force after the kickoff [Music] this and now the mountaineers have a 10 to 8 lead over the mustang seven minutes and 20 seconds left to go on the first half ball will be kicked off from the 25 yard line luke cena and donovan showtime swayze back to return the kick for the mustangs and the kick is up and it is a deep kick it's gonna be returned by scenario there he goes past the 30 35 40 45 brought down out of bounds at the and there's a flag on the field that'll be an extra couple yards and there'll be some extra yards tacked on for the mustangs after a late hit lucinary on the return and the mustangs will begin their drive and they're down by two and there is the extra yardage on the penalty it is a it is a 10 yard penalty hey first down mustangs they will begin their drive in mountaineers territory and they have to score a touchdown here folks oh the ball is on the 35 35-yard line is a 15-yard penalty and the and the mustangs are looking to get in the end zone here even if they do kick a field goal they have a one-point lead but six points is better than that mustangs are going back into the huddle bye two receivers left one right swayze lined up in the slot maldonado tavalos is left swayze motion he gets the handoff he makes a man miss he bounces back inside and he'll be brought down at the line of scrimmage where the play all started and it'll be second and ten [Music] oh got about half a yard on the play second and nine for the mustangs one receiver left two right or two left to right velos takes the snap looks right fires right caught by luke cenary who makes a man miss he's still in bounds and they're gonna mark him out after a really nice game flag on the field and this is coming back and is holding on the mustangs as a five yard penalty and it will be second down and 15.

[Music] second and 24 yards to go for the mustangs [Music] three receivers split out on the right side one left maldonado in the backfield velos takes the snap doesn't have a lot of time throws it really high for cinere scenario who is hit in the legs mustangs are looking for a flag no flag on the field and it'll be and wow i'm surprised i mean he got hit in the legs the ball wasn't even near him when he got hit but it'll be third and 24 yards to go for clifton so far this drive has been pretty crazy for the mustangs i mean in the first quarter there's been there was little to no flags thrown now there the refs are throwing flags around everywhere but let's see if the mustangs can pick up the first down three receivers split out to the right molten auto on the backfield velos takes the snap doesn't have a lot of time escapes pressure gonna take it himself and he'll get a pickup of two he's hit as he goes out of bounds everybody looking for a flag in the mustangs bench and they're just not going to get it are you serious there's the flag coach stinky was livid and the mustangs did get a flag out [Music] it's all right [Music] the flag was on the mustangs and this punt is just going to be longer i'm very stunned that the refs did not throw a flag there for unnecessary roughness by the mountaineers but high snap the kick is up it's a high punt cause a fair catch and the mountaineers will begin their drive at the 18-yard line [Music] mountaineers last drive they moved the chains very well they got down the field and they put up a touchdown that gave them the lead and they're looking to do that again here and try and kill as much time as possible because they don't want the mustangs to get the ball back for the rest of the game or for the rest of this half and to kick off the second half the mountaineers start with the ball so if they could put up a score here and then put up a score to start the second half they are in very good shape to win the game here at joseph greco field two receivers lined up on each side murdoch hands the ball off to carson up the middle who finds a hole breaks the tackle getting trying to get away from swayze he breaks the tackle and he's brought down by a mustang [Applause] looked like the ball came loose for a second it was mountaineers ball they only got a gain of one in that play and it'll be second and nine [Music] clock is winding down 5 minutes and 12 seconds and counting to go one receiver left one right man lined up in the slot play action murdock fires right and it is caught by a mountaineer he's brought down at the 43 yard line and it's a mountaineers first down caught by eamon hanks who's having a pretty solid game so far tackle made by robbins ball spotted at the 43 first and ten one receiver on each side high snap handoff goes to carson and he is stopped in the backfield for a second but makes a very nice move brings it to about midfield and it'll be second and six there's a flag on the field let's see what the penalty is [Music] referees discussing the penalty and is holding on the mountaineers or a personal foul against the mountaineers [Music] [Applause] [Music] they're going to be moved all the way back to about the 33-yard line and they've got a long way to go second and 20 yards for the mountaineers mustangs need a big stop here mountaineers have been doing a very good job two receivers right one left murdock takes the snap a little off he's looking deep and it is overthrown and it'll be third and 20 for the mountaineers he's looking for a mean hanks his so far favorite target this game [Music] and i'll be third down and 20 yards to go for the mountaineers 4 13 remaining in the first half mustangs need a big stop here if they want to get back on the field and hopefully possibly take this lead [Music] and that is the mountaineers calling a timeout there with 4 13 left to play they got a 10-8 lead over the mustangs and they're looking to get a big first down here on third and 20.

mustangs so far on defense today they look all right they've had a few decent drives they're trying to play ben but don't break and so far they're doing okay offensively they're just trying to drive down the field there's been penalty flags everywhere when they get on offense and some flags that were thrown that were unnecessary and you know there was a few late hits by the mountaineers that just weren't even called penalties i mean i could clearly see you guys at home could clearly see it but they're just not throwing those flags in the mustang's favor but you know what let's see what the mustangs can put together here and let's see if the mountaineers can pick up a first down [Music] [Applause] [Music] third and long for the mountaineers murdoch looking towards the sideline probably at the receiver probably calling an audible but doing a lot of that this game carson moves to his right two receivers on his left high snap he's looking for a receiver he's got a man and he'll be brought out of bounds at the 44.

only a gain of 11 which is not enough for a first down fourth and ten for the mountaineers and they're gonna punt this ball donovan showtime swayze back to return it [Music] low snap looking for a block they don't get it a very high kick bounces out the 30 34 and out of bounds at the 34 where the mustangs will begin their drive and out they come so far offense they have been okay their first drive they were excellent they were able to get down there and score a touchdown at a two-point conversion but other than that they have not been all that great but who knows maybe it'll turn around this drive first and ten for clifton three minutes and 19 seconds to go in the first half they do have a timeout left so time management should not be an issue but let's see how this plays out two receivers on each side maldonado in the backfield velas takes the snap fires right by showtime swayze who gets past the 45 past midfield out of bounds at the 43 and that'll be a mustangs first down first down clifton big play by showtime swayze bellis takes the snap handoff goes to maldonado he'll fight forward to get to about 43 yard line it'll be a three yard carry it'll be second and seven for the mustangs [Music] two receivers on each side play action vellus throws and it is swatted down by a mountaineer and it'll be third and seven for the mustangs [Music] third and seven for the mustangs this is a big play here folks because the mustangs are really looking to score a touchdown here or at least get a field goal because if they do either one of those they have a lead [Music] outcome the mustangs [Applause] two receivers on each side maldonado in the backfield mountaineers showing blitz velus takes the snap deep drop looking right thrown out of bounds looking for kristoff and it'll be fourth and seven for the mustangs fourth and seven for the mustangs and it looks like they're gonna punt it away [Music] mustang's going to punt it away snap is taken nearly blocked kick is up and it's going to be taken back by the mountaineers past the 20 25 30 brought out of bounds of the 34 and that is where the mountaineers will begin their drive two minutes and 26 seconds left on the board for the mountaineers to score a touchdown or put up a field goal and they're hoping for that because they get the ball to start the second half and if they score a touchdown here they just extend their lead and they could possibly extend their lead even farther by scoring in the second half but the mustangs are trying to put together a very good defensive drive hopefully get the ball back so they can score let's see how this drive plays out here we go 226 left mountaineers are the two point lead three receivers left one right murdoch takes the snap doesn't have a lot of time dumps it off in the flat to carson who gets past the 40 past midfield past the 30 25 20 15 10 5 touchdown mountaineers [Applause] that is a huge play by the mountaineers that is a 65 yard catch and run by the mountaineers [Music] mason murdoch with a dump off to shakai carson who gets in the end zone and extends the lead for the mountaineers right now they have a 16-8 lead two minutes and 10 seconds left on the clock they're going to kick their extra point kick is up it is good and they have a nine point lead oh [Music] although the mustangs are down this is nothing to worry about mustangs fans the mustangs can easily turn this game around and we still have a lot of football left to be played squeezing your bonaparte back to return the kick [Music] mountaineer is ready to kick it off and the kick is up and it is a deep one swayze gonna let it bounce and he's not gonna pick up the ball until very late and he gets out of bounds at the five yard line he was trying to let the ball bounce out of bounds or possibly in the back of the end zone so they can start on the 20 or maybe even on the 40 if it went out of bounds but it took a really good bounce for the mountaineers and the mustangs are going to start their drive at the six yard line so they have to drive 94 yards down the field if they want to even get in the end zone and at least 85 yards on the field if they want to be in field goal range with two minutes on the clock so let's see what the mustangs do here [Music] ball's at the six yard line two receivers left two receivers right maldonado in the backfield he gets the handoff he's trying to fight forward but he's not even going to get a yard there and it'll be second and 10 for clifton mustangs second and ten for the mustangs clocks winding down a minute and 35 left to go in the first half four receivers on the field two split out wide on each side maltana on the backfield to villas is right he takes the snap he's looking left he throws left and is caught by lucinery no it's incomplete they call him out they call it incomplete he did catch it but he was out of bounds and it'll be third and ten for the mustangs ever since that first drive the mustangs have had a very very hard time on offense let's see if they can get a first down here two receivers on each side maldonado in the backfield shotgun formation caveless takes the snap hands it off to maldonado he makes a nice jump cut brings it down to the 10-yard line and it'll be fourth down and six for the mustangs [Music] looks like the mustang's offense is staying out there right now clock is winding down they might go for it i mean this is a very interesting decision if they go for it because if they don't get it here the mountaineers start their drive they begin their drive inside the 10 at the 10 yard line they're in the red zone so even then if they don't score and the mustangs are just going to take a timeout 31 and a half seconds left remaining in the first half of play and so far it's been a rough it's been a rough second half for the mustangs offensively they haven't really done much i mean they've gotten a few completions here and there a few decent runs but really nothing to be you know that's really exciting for them i mean they can't really get down the field and score but on the other hand the mountaineers they put up a touchdown and it was a huge a huge 65-yarder by shakai carson and you know the mustangs right now they need they need something they need to get fired up in order if they want to win this game i mean so far it's tough they're down by two scores but they're gonna punt here with 31 seconds left in the second half let's see the kick is up nearly blocked mountaineers are going to return it he gets past the 40 brought down at the 36 and the mountaineers will begin their drive there with 21 seconds left to go in the second half and remember folks the mountaineers did defer when they won the kickoff which means they will begin the second half with the football the mustangs are going to have to kick off to them to begin that second half here we go mountaineers on the field two receive three receivers left one right [Music] that looks like an illegal substitution but they're not even going to throw a flag what's this another man coming in there's no flags on the field at all [Music] oh hi snap they can't get it and a mustang touches it but it's recovered by the mountaineers very odd play there i mean there was no delay of game play no legal substitution flag and then the ball is just snapped super high so it's not very high all game murloc can't get it recovered by the mountaineers and that very strange play will end the second half we're on the first half of play [Music] and right now it is 17 mountaineers and you're clifty mustangs eight and here is to halftime you hey okay uh [Music] they're really like really motivated because last week is up and it'll take a bounce at the 41 and it will be recovered at the 40 and that is where the mountaineers will begin their drive and out comes the mountaineers offense [Music] led by quarterback mason murdoch who had a pretty solid first half it was a little slow for them in the first quarter but they picked it up after in the second and they ended up having a big 65 yard touchdown that gave them a nine point lead so the mountaineers are trying to extend that lead and hope and possibly get a win over the mustangs two men in motion he takes the snap high hands off to shakai carson and he'll be brought down after a gain of three and it'll be second and seven shakai carson on the carry he's had a pretty solid game a good amount of rushing yards but the real highlight for him today was a 65-yard catch and run for a touchdown that was a huge play for them and on the mustang side defensively it's been pretty rough they've only given up 17 points but they really need to get a shutout right here on this drive they need to get a three and out or get the ball out of the mountaineers hands without them scoring so the mustangs could go down the field and cut their lead down to one score and there is a timeout taken i believe it is by the mustangs [Music] very early on for them to take a timeout 11 minutes and 14 seconds left to go in the third quarter second and six at the 44 for the mountaineers i mean this is a big drive on both ends mustangs get a stop they could possibly go out there and score a touchdown and make it a one-score game or the mountaineers can go down the field score and extend their lead even further which will put the mustangs out of reach for a win tonight and the mustangs really want this win after the blowout loss last week to east orange 35 to nothing two men in motion high snap ball is loose murdock gets it and he's dropped in the backfield and for a big time loss lucas and eri back there to make a nice play and it'll be third down and 14 yards to go and it may be a very far gain 14 yards but they have picked up plays that go for 20 20 25 yards they have picked up many big game plays and i would not be surprised if it is different here but let's see what they put together two receivers right one left shotgun formation murdoch high snap steps up in the pocket gunning deep and it is incomplete out of bounds swayze in coverage and it'll be fourth down and 14 and it is a three and out by the mustangs and the mountaineers will pump the ball away he's got a nice setup [Music] caleb bonaparte back there to return the kick for the mustangs low snap kick is up it's a pretty deep punt takes a bounce at about the 37 yard line ball keeps going back mustangs are away from the punt the ball is picked up for the 21-yard line and the mustangs will begin their drive there and out comes the offense led by quarterback kyle vellis who so far has had a pretty rough game in the beginning he was moving the chains getting run after run past after passover recently it's been multiple incompletions and a lot of yards that really haven't set the mustangs up for success but the mustangs are looking to change that here and jacob maldonado hasn't gotten many carries but maybe we'll see a whole different team in the second half of play he takes the snap vellus rolls right looking looking throwing and it is a nice catch by number three ryan feliciano and the mustangs will get a nice gain there two yards on the play second eight for clifton [Music] two receivers left one right shotgun formation for vellus he takes the snap handoff goes to bonaparte he finds a decent hole maybe gets a gain of one but it'll be third down and long [Music] foreign here we go 36 for the mustangs they haven't been all that great on third down but they're looking to change that here bellis takes the snap has some time looking for the sideline for bonaparte pretty rough throw but it's caught for the first down that he's going to be marked down inside the 35-yard line [Music] 10 yard reception and the mustangs get a big needed first down [Music] two receivers lined up on each side maldonado in the backfield he gets the hand off and he is stonewalled as soon as he gets the carry brought down for a loss of three and it'll be second down and 13 for the mustangs [Music] after the loss of three the mustangs will come out three receivers lined up on the right side of vellis one lined up to his left also to his left is running back jacob maldonado he takes the snap doesn't have a lot of time dumps it off to swayze and he drops the easy reception and it'll be third down at 12.

that's if he caught that that could have possibly been a first down but he drops it and the mustangs need to put together a big play here if they want to get this first down here we go third and 12. last time on third down the mustangs did end up getting it let's see if they can do the same thing here swayze in motion goes back to the left side two receivers lined up on each side vellus looking throwing deep for bonaparte and it is nearly caught but incomplete looking for bonaparte and double coverage it was a decent throw but he just couldn't come down with it and it'll be fourth down and 12 for the mustangs and they will boot it away to the mountaineers [Music] multiple people looking for a flag but like i said before the mustangs aren't going to get it they haven't gotten many flags this game in their favor they've got many flags against them but not for them they take the snap the ball is loose picked up by solomon and he's brought down at the 11 yard line [Applause] and the mountaineers will start their drive at the 11 yard line the ball like hit julian solomon's hands the punter and it was way above his head and he just couldn't hang on to it he dove on the ground and got it and he was touched down at the 13 yard line was the way they're going to mark him and they're in the red zone already the mountaineers and they're looking to score [Music] murdoch takes the snap handoff goes to carson he'll fight forward for a decent gain he'll get brought down at the seven yard line for about six yards and it'll be second down and four luke scenario in there for the tackle second and three one receiver on each side for the mountaineers murloc takes the snap hands off goes looks like he got past the five yard line there [Music] but it's not enough for a first down it'll be third down and two yards to go they got one yard on the carry third and two this could change the entire game right here because if they pick up this first down or even a touchdown that changes the entire course of the game that gives them a big lead or if they get the first down that gives them a whole nother set of down stephen score touchdown the mustang's gonna stop here they still have a chance to win murdock takes the snap looking right end zone it is caught and they give him the touchdown [Applause] [Music] the catch was out of bounds he had both of his feet out of there but they're going to give him the touchdown [Music] now the mountaineers have a very very lengthy lead 23 to 8 and the mustangs crowd is not happy about that his feet weren't in bounds but they're going to give him the touchdown anyways at least from our view the kick is up it was nearly blah and it's good and there's a lot of shoving and pushing and fighting going on revs split it up no flags are thrown at least from what i can tell and so far the mustangs are not off to a good start here but who knows maybe they can turn it around this game let's see what they do they're coming back out here they're going to take the kick why we've seen miracles before here ladies and gentlemen we've seen miracles at joseph greco field and the mustangs might need another one donovan swayze and kayla bonafire bonaparte back to receive for the mustangs and they need they really do need to drive down the field and score here [Music] mountaineers ready to kick the ball off [Music] and the kick is up it's a pretty deep kick right to boat apart and he's going to take it back past the 20 inside the 25 at the 26 and that's where the mustangs will begin their drive out come their offense it's been a very very rough game for them and they're looking to put up some points here they really need to score here mustangs down 24-8 we this is something we don't really see very often from the mustangs they don't usually let other teams get those big leads like this on them but it looks like west orange the mountaineers are very evenly matched among them but let's see what the mustangs can do two receivers lined up on each side maldonado in the backfield phyllis takes the snap hands it off to maldonado who makes a nice jump cut breaks a tackle and falls forward for a gain of three and it'll be second down and seven for the mustangs second name for clifton valles takes the snap he's gonna throw has time throws right caught by donovan swayze hit hard on the play brought down at the 32 yard line [Music] pick up a four and it will be third down in third and four third down and four yards to go for the mustangs two receivers lined up on each side maldonado on the backfield shotgun formation for vellus fellas looking towards his sideline takes the snap looking throwing caught by michael kristoff and he gets the first down [Music] oh snap is taken into the ball is loose the velos will just fall on it and that's a big loss for the mustangs loss of 12 second and 22.

that it could be a potential drive killer right there miss snaps like that we've seen a few of them here and there we saw one on a pump by the mustangs we saw one at the end of the second quarter by the mountaineers and we just saw a third one here by the mustangs this could be a potential drive killer but let's see what the mustangs can put together maldonado on the backfield three receivers right one left velos rolls out right looking for a receiver he's going to take it himself he makes a man miss he gets past the 30. 35-40 brought down at the 41. and velus is playing very good on the ground today he's been running the ball a lot and it'll be a 13 yard carry there it'll be third down in about they'll be third and nine for the mustangs so a potential drive killer turns into a reasonable third down gain for the mustangs let's see if they can get it this is what it all matters three receivers right one left velos is going to throw he's looking deep and he's got a man for the first down [Applause] h a 19 yard reception [Music] by omar muhinson who is currently hurt but he got a big 19 yard reception that gives the mustangs a huge first down there is an injured mustang on the field that is omar muhensen many many injuries today so far ladies and gentlemen we've seen players come on and off the field and this one hurts looks like the medical staff is checking on him he's still down um mustangs medical staff still taking a look at omar muhanson on that play it looks like the player the defensive player for the mountaineers lowered his shoulder and it hit him a little more towards the head and he got hit in the back as well on that play and you know hopefully he's okay [Music] and the mustangs crowd putting their hands together as omar gets off the field with some medical help and hopefully he's okay omar all our prayers are going to you [Music] and the mustangs pick up a first down that is huge and the mustangs are looking to do even more hopefully for their sake get in the end zone here we go two receivers lined up on each side maldonado in the backfield bellis takes the snap he's going to throw again looking right it's caught by luke cenary and he'll be brought down at the 44 yard line again of four a little bit of talking between both teams going on mustangs hurry up the offense a little bit two receivers on each side high snap handoff goes to maldonado and he's swallowed up after no gain and it'll be third down and four at the 45-yard line [Music] third and four for the mustangs this is not good for them and they're looking to pick up a first down here once again they keep getting in this situation the clock has been drained out pretty well a minute and 30 left to go in third fellas takes the snap he's looking he throws right and it is swatted away looking for michael kristoff there and it is incomplete and it'll be fourth down and five for the mustangs looks like the mustangs are staying out here and they're gonna go for it very risky move here we go huddle breaks mustangs are out here they're going to go for it kristoff and swayze lined up on the right scenario and bonaparte are lined up on the left he takes the snap he's throwing overthrown looking for kristoff it is incomplete and is a turnover on downs mountaineers football looking for michael kristoff there again that was way overthrown and high velus having a very rough game and the defense isn't really cutting that much slack either but let's see if the mustangs can turn it around or the mountaineers could possibly get a w here and now comes the mountaineers murdoch takes the snap handoff goes to carson he's swallowed up at the line of scrimmage and it'll be second down and ten for the mountaineers [Music] shotgun formation murdoch takes the snap he throws right caught and he's going to power his way forward let's see where they marked the ball swayze shoving him out of bounds flag on the field reception made by eamon hanks discussing the penalty it was a personal foul against the mustangs and it looks like the mountaineers are just going to extend their drive a ball spotted at the 43 yard line first down mountaineers [Music] first and ten for the mountaineers ball at the 43 [Music] clock winding down one receiver lined up right to line up left 10 seconds left mustang showing blitz man in motion murdock play action he's looking deep he's shooting deep and is incomplete looking for ayman hanks and it'll be second down and 10 for the mountaineers with one second left to go in the third quarter and that incomplete pass does stop the clock so they're going to have to do another play [Music] they break the huddle [Music] hanks goes to the far left side of the field carson in the backfield gets the handoff from murdoch he gets a nice hole and he's brought down at the 31 yard line that is a gain of 11 yards and a mountaineers first down to end the third quarter mountaineers 24 and the clifton mustangs eight and we have ended the third quarter of play and we'll be back after a short intermission [Applause] around boys and that is the end of the intermission this is the beginning of the fourth quarter and i'll always like to say it's not how you start is how you finish and let's see how it all ends hands it off he breaks a tackle brought down at the 25-yard line gain of five and it'll be second down and five for the mountaineers [Music] so far the mountaineers run game even their past game has been very consistent they've been doing a very good job of getting down the field and wearing up this mustang's defense and i think the mustangs are pretty worn out by now it's they've got to be a little bit tired i mean they've been out here for a good portion of the game but maybe the mustangs defense can put together a nice a nice defensive stop here and give the mustangs offense the ball back then again who knows two receivers right one lined up on the left murdock looks like he's calling an audible and it is on the mountaineers it's a delay of game against the mountaineers and it'll go back five yards so instead of second and five it'll be second and ten two receivers lined up right one lined up left carson in the backfield man in motion murdock takes the snap play action he's gonna roll out himself he breaks a tackle tries to spin around a man he's brought down inside the 20.

and that is a first down for the mountaineers on a 12 yard run [Music] mountaineers break the huddle two receivers lined up on murdoch's left one on his right man in motion he gets the handoff and he's hit on his way out of bounds he'll get no gain there and it'll be second down and ten and there's an apparent injured player on the field that carrie was by july williams second and six now but there is an injured player on the field seems to be an injured mountaineer many injuries this game that is never good and he's being carried off the field and the injured mountaineer is being carried off the field and let's hope that he's okay once again injuries are never ever good and that's the same case here regardless of what team you like so second and sixth for the mountaineers out comes their offense led by murdoch [Music] second and six and mason murdock is looking to put some points up on the board man in motion play action pass he's throwing end zone and it is incomplete pass is broken up very good play by donovan showtime swayze he's been playing pretty well at corner of this game and it'll be third down and six for the mountaineers one receiver light right one left one man in the backfield murdoch takes the snap hands it off gets a gain of about three and it'll be and it looks like it's going to be fourth down for the mountaineers july williams on the carry gain of two fourth and four for the mountaineers timeout call by the mountaineers with 9 minutes and 17 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and it's gonna be interesting to see what they do here maybe go for it maybe take a field goal who knows mustangs are just hoping for a stop [Music] don't feel too tight [Music] out comes the mustangs defense mariners offense out there looks like they're going to go for it interesting call man in the backfield three receivers lined up right and a bunch one lined up on the left all by himself receivers go in motion flag on the field it's encroachment against clifton that's five-year penalty and it'll be a first down for the mountaineers barely saw a mustang even move there so the encroachment penalty is a little weird but wow mountaineers three men in motion murdoch takes the snap play hey fake hand off play action [Applause] dumps it off to his number one brian feliciano the silent assassin on the tackle brought down inside the 10 and it'll be second down in goal for the mountaineers second and goal for the mountaineers three receiver three receivers out there one left one right and one of them on the right is in motion handoff is fake to them murdoch will take the carry himself maybe gets the yard and it'll be third down and goal for the mountaineers mountaineers looking to score here and if they score here it's possibly game over but if they don't the mustangs have a very slim chance but it is a chance but let's see what happens here two receivers right one left one man in the backfield shotgun for murdoch he takes the snap he's throwing he's looking in the back of the end zone slightly overthrown looking for his number one receiver incomplete and it'll be fourth down in goal for the mountaineers and there is another injured mustang on the field and the mustangs players i mean a lot of players have just gotten hurt through and through for this game it really isn't good to see players injured and that really hurts the mustangs it looks like it is an apparent leg injury and they will check and the mustangs medical team will check up on him thank you [Music] mustangs medical staff still on the field checking on the injured player oh the mustangs player is back on his feet and the crowd is putting their hands together for him as the mustangs players help back on the field it looks like the mountaineers are going to kick a field goal kick is up and running on signal and it is good and the mountaineers have a 27-8 lead with 7 minutes and 42 seconds left to go in the fourth it is now a three score game and the mustangs are going to have to try and put some sort of miracle together not only offensively where they have a struggle but mainly defensively but they have also struggled but who knows maybe the mustangs will come out here and look like the the mustangs we've seen for the first five games where they just went on a five-game winning streak or maybe we'll see the same mustangs we've seen all game which hasn't been all that great but who knows folks who knows bonaparte it's back to return for the mustangs mountaineers set to kick off and the kick is up is going towards the left side takes the bounce at the 20.

a mustang falls on the ball and in the mustangs will come on the field quarterback kyle velas this is very unlike the way we have seen him for the past few weeks folks he's not really doing all that well but he does work hard he is playing very hard he is moving he has moved the chains multiple times this game for the mustangs but let's see what the mustangs can do here huddle breaks for clifton three receivers lined up to his right one on his left maldonado in the backfield alongside vellis he takes the snap deep drop looking deep and is slightly overthrown incomplete looking for donovan swayze and it'll be second and 10 at the 20 yard line [Music] huddle breaks for clifton two receivers lined up on each side maldonado in the backfield fellas takes a snap he's throwing he's looking incomplete looking for michael kristoff swatted away and it'll be third down and ten seven minutes and 31 seconds let's go in the fourth quarter third and ten for the mustangs three receivers lined up right now two that and that would make it two on the left as well velos is going to throw he's looking fires and it is intercepted by the mountaineers he'll be brought down at the 47 yard line he's looking for lucinary who also makes the tackle on the play and it'll be first down for the mountaineers 7 18 remaining in regulation mountaineers have the ball in the 47 man in motion takes the snap hands off goes he gets it past midfield down at the 5th down the 49-yard line [Music] spotted at midfield and it'll be second and seven for the mountaineers mason murdock has been having a very good game at quarterback and he's looking to continue that there's still a lot of time left on the clock two receivers left one right one man in the backfield murdoch takes a snap he's gonna throw he looks over the middle and it is dropped looking for his number one target eamon hanks it is dropped and it'll be third down and seven for the mountaineers [Music] third and seven for the mountaineers two receivers lined up right one left murdoch takes the snap he's looking he's throwing it's out of reach for the receiver and it'll be fourth down and seven for the mountaineers three and out by the mustangs and the mountaineers will bring out their special teams and punt it to the mustangs and one part will go back there to return the kick it's a very good defensive stop by the mustangs and bonaparte's back to receive the kick from the mountaineers kick is up nearly blocked bonaparte does get it he doesn't call a fair catch so he's hit as soon as he gets the ball brought down inside the 15 yard line ball put at the 17 yard line that's where the mustangs will begin their drive looking to put together a hopefully scoring drive for them two receivers left two receivers right maldonado in the backfield low snap velos rolls right he's looking he's looking he's motioning his receiver he's brought out of bounds at about the 15.

and it'll be second down for the mustangs mustangs huddle brakes second and nine for the mustangs three receivers right with two receivers right one left maldonado in the backfield he gets the handoff he makes a nice move he gets inside the 30 brought down are brought down inside the 25 at about the 27 yard line [Music] and it looks like a first down for clifton fellas takes the snap he's going to throw he has time looking catch made by bonaparte who breaks the tackle brought out of bounds at the 42. [Music] [Applause] was shoved around after the play [Music] [Applause] [Music] catch made by scenario on that play it'll be second and ten for the mustangs our second and eighteen my apologies he did end up going way backwards on that play [Music] many players were looking for a flag on the previous play for a bad hit but they won't get it three receivers left one right high snap ellis looking throwing dumps it off to swayze and it's an incomplete pass and it'll be third down at 18.
