>> Any questions, comments? Um, is this this is a uh college credit class that is >> Yeah. very eastern. Do we have people that are interested in listening? >> And the thought was that this may not be just like kids who are in the band or kids who just have an interest in >> and it would and we'd only offer it if there was interest, >> right? Yeah. >> So they they suspect it might alternate with some other semester long courses like guitar. >> No.
Let's talk about uh community of practice around street data. Again, as we're deeply listening, we're uncovering these patterns and trends. Let's talk about reimagining how we use the topics and themes and trends to be able to make recommendations with current funding to move and to implement. That's the cycle of improvement. And so, it it was great to see a couple board members showed up. Thank you for coming. Um, and with that process, we know uh that there was there was great momentum. And we'll get to the news, which I know we've made public, but we're going to say it one more time. This is our California Community Schools partner program grant funded schools. That's the community school approach grant from the state. Yay. 15 schools. We're, you know, about we're four years in. Um, we have one more year in this grant for 13 schools and two more years for two schools, the smaller schools.
JD Gish played the male lead in Wicked for over a year on Broadway. Yeah. He wasn't there for his performance play at Fox Studio on the show that they saw. That's awesome. That's nice, too. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for that information. Um I need a motion to to accept the consent agenda. Madame President, am I in the right spot? Mhm. Okay. I think so. Madam President, I would like to uh make a motion to accept the uh consent agenda with the exception of item 411. 411. I have a comment about that item. Okay. Anybody else have something they would like to second? I don't I second it. All those in favor? I saski. I Fred Rushton. I Charlene Diaz. Hi, Barb Zarziki. Hi, Sheila Barnett. Okay, Fred, you're up. Cass, if you wouldn't mind please bringing up uh that article, the title one district.
I think the applicant had a certain number. Am I imagining that there was like a written document that said what we what would be planted or is that a figment of my imagination? >> There's a landscaping plan. Okay. There is >> on that has like even they even documented all like where all going across. >> As long as we're referencing an agreement as to what we're cutting and what we're planting, I'm good to go. >> Yeah. So, and I have the latest plans. It says in here the latest plans are with a latest revision date of 21226 and elevation plans at um 11625. Does that sound >> that's the most recent version? >> Yes. Thank you. >> Okay. Um the next item I have then is Oh, it's just more um it's more just a a typo than anything. This would be on page six.
Anyone else have any questions or comments about this course? >> All those in favor of the motion, please say I. >> Okay. >> Anyone opposed or abstaining? Do we have any future business? Thanks so for a motion to move. >> I'll second. There you go. >> Questions, comments? All those in favor, please say I. I. I >> opposed abstaining. Have a nice break, everyone.
Uh, about $25 million. There's about $5 million left from that grant that we haven't received yet. We don't know what the state's going to do. Again, ongoing and what what they're going to do. Are they going to give us those five million? Stay tuned for our May revise, right, Nancy? Um, but knowing that we've committed and you thank you so much, cabinet board, for saying this matters so much that we're scaling and we're saying yes to scaling across all of our schools. We say this is that important that we've seen the fruits of our labor. We're we're supporting a community school teacher lead and a commun school coordinator at those five schools on the screen. Uh and those are the the schools that are excited. We just hired our community school teacher leads. They're amazing. Uh and we're going to be soon hiring the community school coordinators starting in the 2627 school year.
And on page three of five, uh I noticed an item six. We actually do read these things, you guys. Item number six. Uh the at the second bullet it says tracking year. I think that should be children's. So uh I just I would just make a motion that we would uh amend that to make that word properly children's and then we can accept this as far as I'm concerned. That's good catch. Yeah, good catch. Second. I second it. All those in favor? I Melinda Saski. I Fred Rushton. I Charlene Diaz. Hi Barb. Hi, Sheila Bernett. It was a test, Fred. Yeah, it was a test. You passed. I'm gonna have to write home about that. You know, I don't know how many times you can read something and read something and read something and thank you, Fred, for catching or even do spell check. Yeah, I'm sure Jen did spell check and it missed it.
Um the the last of the four bullet points is on dimensions, building height. >> Yeah. >> Um so it says >> 49 to 49. >> What >> is that what it is? No, it um it says so given the use of given the use of sloped landscape which maintains this twotory facade in Memorial Drive blah blah blah and a three-story facade on the rear of the building resulting in a height from average grade of 40 feet 9 in that should be comma and then small t the board waves. So that first part was all an introduction of the information and it doesn't it doesn't read correctly. It should be together. So that was like said it's kind of a typo thing. Um and then I think the last item actually last item actually trans it goes um on page 8 n and wait a minute I guess eight and nine.
Uh all right, let's talk about um these are our schools and we'll we'll talk about that in in a moment. How do we how are we coherent? We got so many amazing things going on. But again, it's funny, I know, but it it well, how do we go through this process of this cycle of improvement and and then how do we capture, you know, what's happening with the LCAP? What's happening with our standards for the teaching profession? That's new. How do we um, you know, lift up the capstone work that the institutions that are supporting our partners, all of that is uh the work that we are doing in in the umbrella around community schools. It isn't one department. It isn't two, you know, staff members. It's the collective. We collective, our families, our students, our staff, our partners and we do this cycle of improvement which if we zoom in is really the way we if you experience the LCAP you experience the LCAP this way.
So, item 5.1, revised policy, GCCA, professional and support staff paid time off, second reading. Um, if are there any additional comments or clarifications needed? Then I need a motion to adopt. I make a motion we adopt uh the proposed changes for GCCA professional support staff paytime off. I'll second that motion. All those in favor? I Melinda Saraski. I Fred Rushton. I Charlene Diaz. I Barb Zarziki. I Sheila Bernett. 5.2 is also a second reading. policy GCCG professional support staff voluntarily voluntary transfer of acred paid time off. Um I are there questions or further clarifications need then I need a motion to adopt please. I'll make a motion, Madame President, that we adopt the revised policy, GCCG, professional support staff voluntary transfer of acrude paid time off. I'll second that motion. All those in favor? I Meinda Saski. I Fred Rushton. I Charlene Diaz. I Barb, Sheila Bernett.
So, >> okay, >> on page eight in letter C, we talk about in no event shall any of the following be permitted without authorization. And number triple I on that part is installation of non-native or invasive plant species. Then on page nine of letter J, this is where it really gets bad. Letter J, we say that 75% of all landscape plantings shall be native >> and then all planting materials are non non-invasive. That's great. And 70% of the planting material is native. That's just in two cents. So I think so we're kind of uh yeah, it's a little sloppy. >> So should I take out Okay, I'll start with this one. So I'll take out and 70% of the plantings of we'll keep it 75%. I'm fine with that. So, we we'll keep 75% of landscape plantings are native species. We'll take out the 70% so that we at least we just Is why okay with that?
The cycle of improvement starts with deeply listening and then to be able to uncover some trends, some patterns and we say I wonder right our students facilitated our staff facilitated our parents facilitated these conversations and it was awesome to see the uncovering of and making some you know reimagining how do we use our funds to reimagine and um and address these um data points that we're seeing bubble up and and let's move and we start that cycle of improvement again. That is the community schools approach. that is what how we are um coherent in the way we do business. There's some examples there as as I described. Uh data analyst an analysis is great reporting you know we're doing a great job of reporting from the district office getting data quickly to the hands of th those that are closest to the impact and then how are we um reimagining those things.
Another second reading. ASBA recommended change to policy DIE audits financial monitoring. Um, any questions? Okay. Then I need a motion to adopt. Madame President, I make a motion that we adopt the ASBA recommended change to policy DIIE audits financial monitoring. I'll second that motion. All those in favor? I, Melinda Subrasi. I Fred Rushton. I Charlene Diaz. I Barb Zerziki. I Sheila Bernett. Item 6.1 convene into executive session to discuss a potential plan to complete the DEN project pursuant upon ARS 38431.03A7 03A7 discussion of consultations with designated representatives of the public body in order to consider its position and instruct its representatives regarding negotiations for the purchase, sale or lease of real property. I need a motion to adjourn or to convene. I make a motion to convene into executive session. I second it. All those in favor? I'm Melinda Subaski. I Fred Rushton. Charlene Diaz.
I assume 75% native versus 70. >> Isn't Isn't one of them planting material versus the other one said plantings like landscape plantings? They're supposed to I mean in my experience we've never >> disting distinguished between landscape plantings and planting material. I think there's both those are supposed both >> both supposed to mean plants. I think >> that's the plant. >> I guess what what is this? What is the standard? If the standard is 70% then we would like 70. If it has to be 75 we'll take 75. But I don't want to like volunteer something that's more than standard. >> So where did 75 and 70 come from? Frankly, I frankly I think if we look back and I don't know if I have it here. I think if we look back on our um previous decisions >> I will say planting material to me means dirt which I would hope is native.
Just some examples as as you see in the slide. Uh breaking making recommendations, seeing the capstone work, um improving, hearing from our students. That's how we know we're re-imagining uh the way we do, you know, the business of teaching and learning every day, every period. And then of course, community-led initiatives. How many uh topics um community uh events that are happening that are close to our heart? We as our board member, student board member Leah talked about what's happening in our in our community. And so we are hearing from our students and from our families. We want to reimagine how we're using the time in the classrooms to make the connection to the community and we'll talk about community based learning. So this is really first best instruction. It's civic engagement in the classroom is just as much of community schools approach as any component and pillar of our community school approach.

I B Ziki. Hi, Sheila Bernett. Did you give somebody that statement? Oh, it's right there. Okay. Um, Madame President, go ahead. I would like it. I would like to make a motion that we authorize the superintendent to explore the options with Ponghorn Services LLC to possibly complete the district employee neighborhood.
So sorry the lawyer speaking I not meant by the material was the dirt. >> I think we can all agree the dirt is native. I actually I actually I actually >> So we really do want to differentiate between native dirt and non-native. Okay, that's helpful. >> I could be mis remembermbering, madam chair, but I believe the decision was originally written as 75% and then there was some discussion that maybe the standard was 70. Maybe that's why it's written in different different numbers in different places, but I thought it might have been 70 at the end of the last meeting. >> I think that is true. I Are we are we talking about one thing or two things? >> One thing. We're not going to get into >> planting material is not is the same thing as plants. >> In the history of the planning board, we have always talked about plants.
Professional learning. You see the evidence of professional learning through of community schools. These are just examples of just taking what's happening at the schools and seeing that they're lifting up equity transformation cycle community of practice. They're talking about designing purposeful planning for impact and reflecting around the teach the California standards for the teaching profession. That work is this community schools approach and we're seeing it across every one of our schools which is which is amazing. This is the really exciting work that we are seeing and we we're hearing from our students. You're going to hear from Emma in in in a in a minute. This is our eight community-based learning practices. And so our community school teacher lead said, "Gosh, there's so many great ways to see how the the the classroom is changing through community schools approach." And we at Anaheim Union say, "All right, this these are the eight that we're going to um focus on." So you see, you know, how we value incorporate students, families, and community into the classroom.
I'll second that motion. All those in favor? I Melinda Sabraski. I Fred Rushton. I Charlene Diaz. I Barb Sheila Bernett. Okay. I need a motion to move into executive session. Madame President, I make a motion that we convene into executive session one more time. I think I'm supposed to read this. Yeah. Oh, go ahead then. I'll second that motion. Okay. Second, but I get to read this first anyway. Oh, go for it. 9.1. No, no. I guess I don't have to read anything like that. 8.3 convene into executive session for superintendent. Oh, I'm moving ahead. See, if he you guys can have a motion and second on the table already, I can fumble around with this 8.3. And she likes to skip pages when she's supposed to read. Yeah, I do. convene into executive session for student superintendent annual evaluation and review. I'm sorry that was rude but it was completely I apologize.
We've we've never talked about planting material >> at all. So that has in there. >> Sorry humor in this. >> I agree. >> No, you agree. Right. So I think I think it's probably another word for plants at this point and at least otherwise has in my memory has never been talked about by the planning board. >> Let's simplify it. >> Sorry. >> I think I think it's about taking it out >> taking it out entirely. But that the question is >> I think it typically is 70%. I think that is what we have had before. Let's go with 70. >> Um, and I think that's why it came up last time. I I I'm okay with it either way, but I I believe it has been 70% in other um in other decisions. >> Could I also make a very small OCD comment on page E?
