And if you have any questions about um interpreter education, the field of interpreting, please feel free to ask. Thank you. So, yes, you stay there. Sure. Question. >> Uh Hercules Gross Huan. Okay. That's the last person here to testify. So I wanted to ask you questions. I think I save you from going back to your seat. >> Please. A um and um I just wanted to let you all know that as a sign language interpreter, I'm speaking and signing at the same time. I come from three generations of deaf family and this is very important to my heart because my mother's side of the family is from here. But I had to leave island. I had to disconnect from Hawaii at 18. At 18, I had to let go because there was no pathway for me here academically to get an education related to interpreting or sign language access.
No. And the rebound comes back out to number five Jordan Clark. Clark finds Kelly. Kelly defended by number 30 Samho. Out to the wing. Here is number 20 with a layup. No, too strong. That was Nathaniel Rivera. Deep three. Good box out. Nice box out there by number 15. Here he is making his presence felt once again. Angel Gonzalez, good athlete. See him every morning when I do morning duty. Angel Gonzalez. See him in morning duty here in the gym. The very same gym that this game is being played. Nearly there. A shot by number one. Just comes up a little too strong. That was Bayas. But certainly yes, Angel Gonzalez in morning duty always very pleasant. Always running around the gym up and down. Never stays still. You can see him here with the ball. That's his third rebound along with his four points so far today.
Brown got us on this about probably about almost 2 and 1/2 3 years ago. It's one of the arrows that lined up um with with what we're doing here in Madison. It's been great and now we even have our own two coaches in the district. It's just to show the importance of TBRI. Um Michelle and I work very closely together um on what we do. So, recently my thing that I've done is um a survey to our staff as to what kind of fidget or hand busyness do they need to keep themselves regulated. So, in our staff meeting yesterday, we just talked about the number one um piece that really helps students engagement in in being attentive in school is making sure our teachers are regulated. So, we're trying to provide those resources and those tools. Um we also have Hoss Coffee on Fridays. Every Friday they can order what they'd like from Hoss.
>> Yes, please. >> Okay. Anybody else would like to pull the consent item off the list? Oh, wait. Yes. Minutes. 5.1. >> 5.1. >> Yes. >> Okay. 5.1 and 5.2 are pulled off. Anybody else? Okay. Can I get a motion to approve 5.3 through 5.6? >> Motion to approve. >> Second. >> 5.3 through 5.6. Moved and second. All those in favor? >> I >> carries. Okay. Going to 5.2 which was pulled off. like to talk about what you would like to do with 5.2. I would like to motion uh to discuss the recommendation for West Valley head coach individually as well as um the resignation of Mr. Vicki and vote on those separately. So, the West Valley wrestling coach has been pulled off and now that is up for discussion under football coach. The football coach. >> Anybody have any comments about that they would like to make?
>> Okay. >> Right. And so if we can't legally supervise it, it's on here because if it's not on here, then we're in a situation where we have to employ somebody and we can't follow the rules and regulations that go along with that employment. However, if we want to use the funds that were allocated towards that for something else for the counseling services and things, we can do that. But the district can't put themselves in a situation where they don't have something on this resolution that we might not be able to work with. Right? We can certainly reinstate it. But after the after resolutions happen, then there's a whole process with human resources that we have to go through seniority lists, hire dates, probationary employees, permanent employees because you have to figure out who is the person in that position who is going to be released, right?
So that's what you'll see in goal number three. So, we just it's very a transparent uh process on which of our action items are fully being implemented, partially being implemented, and we did land on one that was not being implemented. And during our LCAP that we have to update each year, we write into our plan specifically, we heard from our stakeholders. This was something that we felt um could support our work. And so that we change from panorama survey to healthy kids survey. So that's part of the process that we go through um each year. I'm going to move forward to goal number two. I talked a little bit about this already, but it's improve student achievement for all students by providing common core state standards instruction and using technology and providing professional development for all staff. Here we have the California data dashboard again and this one's specifically for English language arts which is in the green category.
So that's that $3.5 million target. Um what is different is that our relationship based on our contract was our local TV rights deals, local TV rights deal was part of that $3.5 million in years past. So we are now in a space where we will get the conference distribution which hopefully is that number and then now we are negotiating a local TV rights deal and that will be on top of as opposed to being uh taken away from or or balancing out the media rights deal. So we have the chance to go um additional get additional resources. Is there also additional potential with the games that are not going to be covered by the Mountain West deal nor a Spectrum or whatever local deal that there's going to be a lot of games that the university could just stream um and somehow monetize and perhaps use your own journalism or communication students to get get even more money to help with the match in this bill.
So, I had to go to the states where I became a nationally certified interpreter just like my colleagues here. Um, so I studied and I stayed there for 10 years picking up the skills because Havi is lacking that and that's why we have brain drain from here. Now I'm back here at 29 trying to make this stuff happen. But we need this to happen so we can elevate local talent that understands the cultural competency here. No disrespect to the transplants, but here there is a knowledge here that we need to maintain and persevere or preserve. So, mahila. >> Thank you. >> Also, I'm available for questions and I'm in support of this bill. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Anyone else? Anyone else wishing to testify on this measure? >> If not. Okay. Oh, one more. Okay. Can come forward. Okay. Um, >> aloha. Aloha senators.
Here's Ganadanos. Good transition here to Bloomfield. Bloomfield on defense coming back and they get the rebound with number five Clark and Clark will handle. Clark defended by Sam Ho. Clifton still looking for their first point of the quarter. First five points go to Boomfield. Here is Granados off a steal. He'll find number one. Bayz. Bayz a clean look. Oh, off the mark and the rebound comes back out to Jacob Kelly. He rips it down. Good look there by Bayz. Just couldn't finish out to the wing. Here is number 20 Rivera. And Rivera with a deep look knocks it down. Rivera. >> That's a two-pointer. He was just inside the three-point strike. So, first seven points to the visiting Bengals. And there's the four-minute whistle. And that will switch up both sides. Let's see who checks in. And checking in now. Here is number 14, Sha Tamian.
We have um it's going to be on the school on our accounts that they're going to get a free drink on March 4th. We know it's a big day, Cub Fest, fourth grade transition, eighth grade across the ditch. So, we're going to put it on our tab um that they get a free drink that day from The Attic. We work closely with them as well. So, that's an another big piece coming up. So, we really understand that we've got to provide that nurturing piece so they see that, "Hey, we've got your back. We know that these 2 months are long even though we seem to be never be in school." Um we know how the the winter semester can be a long 3 months and we've got to put in some fun in there and some relaxation to let them know that we're supporting them.
>> Was that for the football coach or the coach? I want >> the football coach. So, that's >> football coach. Mr. Grand. >> So, public comment is now open for that specific item. And where is where do you speak? >> Please.
And that's that's very tedious and we have to be very prudent with that, right? Because like we don't want to make any we don't want to trip up anywhere there, right? Because there's a lot of legalities, right? So we don't start doing that until we actually know from the board in these resolutions what's been approved. So then we go through that process. So we can't not have that on here if we can't supervise it, right? So that's why it's on here. >> Okay. Okay. And then I just wanted to ask because we kind of had these back and forth discussions about how much to to reduce etc based on the on the on the deficit spending that we have on the onetime money that's running out etc. So, um, I just have all these numbers in here and I need some help. So, when and Julie, you kind of mentioned this at the last meeting.
You'll see mathematics overall in the green category. Our English learner progress is in the orange category and our science um scores which aren't counting this year are still in the green category. We'll point out one more time that you you'll see the cards on the bottom where the equity report and you'll see that we do have certain student groups that are not doing as well as our overall students. And that's just a reminder. This is going to pop back up when I mention differentiated assistance. So, we do have some student groups that are still struggling in English language arts and math. So for this um uh the metrics here that we're identifying is we have our teachers um do a lot of benchmark assessments. And so what we've identified here in yellow are our results for our elementary benchmark assessments for pre preschool through first grade.
>> Yes, those are all of those games are part of the either the Mountain West deal or the local rights deal. It's not there wouldn't be a third avenue for that. They fall the rights already fall within one of will fall within one of those two deals, >> right? But let's say it's a so a girls soft softball game that neither the Mountain West deal nor your Spectrum contract covers. You could stream that to uh who wherever the audience is and monetize that, couldn't you? >> No, that will go through the Mountain West app because they have the right to all of our sports. Yes. >> Whether they're broadcasting it or not. Yeah, that's what this fourth that's kind of this fourth part is the the Mountain West app. [clears throat] So, anything that we can do locally, we will do locally. Anything that we would do on our own, we would then put up on the Mountain West app.
I'm Peter Arnatada. I'm dean of the college of arts, languages, and letters at Manoa. I'm here with my colleagues uh associate dean Andrew Perez Kroger and uh chair of the linguistics department Amy Schaefer. And this program and degree program would be located in our nationally recognized department of linguistics. And so I stand on my testimony submitted and I'm available to answer questions. >> Great. Thank you. Why don't you stay there? Can you appreciate Can you take the seat your seat for now? Okay. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Okay. Uh quick question. Yes. So for either of you, um I I think this is this is absolutely a good program. Uh is it by any way going to be an obstacle for people who decide not to get a degree in becoming interpreter? >> So I think that that's something that needs to be worked out because at at currently at KCC um our our program which has been on hiatus, there had been some administrative and reapproval processes um issues.
Number two checks in. That's Aiden Taylor. Let's see who comes back out. Number 10. Number 10 is Matthew Zambbrano. He had a block and two rebounds. And here is number 23 checking in. Here's Sha Leonard. Ha. So there will be the five starting lineup. Five on the floor in ladies and gentlemen. Clipton is going to inbound. >> I think Clifton still needs one more. And yes, they'll check in as number 15 will stay on the floor. That's Angel Gonzalez. Look at Shaun Leonard Ha playing to the crowd trying to get the crowd into it. Here's Antennium. Shaunanium finding room. Sean Otanium in and out. No rebound comes back out to Bluefield. Here's number 83 off transition. No rebound comes back out. And that is true. Malachi Stevens knocks it down. Extends the lead now to 30 to 21. Shaun Otanium taking over. Sha Otanium in the paint.
Um Michelle meets with students as well. She's not only teaching Spanish any um at this point, but she's also meeting with students who our counselors feel need that extra touch point um just to speak with her and she's got that professionalism to work through groups and things. Um and then lastly, it just kind of goes through that piece of what um who's involved in TBRI and what's taking place. Jordan kind of already talked about the next AAA um that's taking place. We're looking forward to that um as well. And then the food bank was already kind of um discovered discovered and talked about. We've got 30 families at this point that are using it on a regular basis. Um so, that's just from late November till now. So, we expect that number to continue to grow. Um right now, it's pick up only, but we are kind of looking at can we do the delivery option if needed um in future years cuz we'd like to do that.
>> This reminder each speaker is three minutes and 20 minutes we're going to stop the topic. >> Good evening. I may stand here alone tonight but I stand firm from the John Doe mothers whom who carry the same pain and the same resolve. My son along alone with other young men experienced something no student athlete should ever endure. What happened was not teen bonding. It was hazing. Hazing is illegal and it is not a tradition. It is not discipline and it is not leadership. These boys trusted the adults responsible for their safety. They trusted their coach. They trusted their trust was broken. My son minimized what happened to him. He downplayed it not because it wasn't serious but because he was ashamed. He was embarrassed. And that is what hazing does. It silence s silences victims. It makes them question themselves and it makes them feel responsible for what was done to them.
What was that number that was like the we need to have this is the deficit spending. This is the I had from the previous meeting the 430,000 that we were going to be so the the money was coming to an endet time funds. >> That's correct. >> And 242,000 that we were already deficit spending. And I just used my addition and I came up with $672,000. Okay. So, so if we take the 816,000 that um is option for, if we were to take out the PE specialist, then that is $686,000. So, that would only leave us with um $14,000. that would be extra like added to the reserve >> and that's not taking into account any more deficit and currently there's additional legal issues and things that are coming up that are going to increase our deficit. So to keep that in mind, >> can I I want to be transparent and clear like a lot of times we see legal issues that doesn't necessarily mean that the district is constantly having conversations with attorneys, right?
We it's called fastbridge. We have second through fifth grade students that are taking the star reading. you'll see um for the most part these are newer um benchmarks. So that there's still we're we're still kind of gauging where we're at at the beginning, middle, and end of the year and adjusting our numbers as we go throughout the school year. So, some of our percentages don't look like they're very high, but I think it's because we've also kind of scaled the test a little on the higher side. So, you'll see overall our students are at 40% at or above grade level with regards to the reading benchmark for elementary. And then it breaks down our um subgroups, socioeconomically disadvantaged at 21%, students with disabilities at 13.6%, 6%, African-American students at 31.5%, Hispanics 17%, and our English learners at 11%. So once again, it goes back to that overall um all students are doing pretty well, but some of our student groups need some extra support.
