>> Great question board president Guo. So, uh, right when this came out, just prior to the spring break, matter of fact, I think we were all at the AI summit, um, LEA has a mural that was, um, of Caesar Chavez on one of their their their walls. And so, um, it was removed. We had a number of students reach out very interested in it being removed. So, it was removed and, uh, Mr. Brown has been working with the students in the metro program um who are taking the lead, but all the students at the schools I think a part of their RSVP process will have an opportunity to weigh in and provide input or feedback in terms of um who will replace um Caesar Chavez with that spot where the mural was. So they're going through a process. I was actually at La visiting with him this morning and he shared that they're actually in the midst of that process.

So more to come on the replacement. And then in terms of the curriculum, uh both Ruben Patino, our social science curriculum specialist, along with AC Arano, our ethics nutties curriculum specialist. Those are the two content areas where you typically would see um uh standards or or curriculum around Caesar Chavez. So obviously with March 31st having passed, it's not going to happen for the rest of this year, but they will be working with our teachers across the moving forward into next year. Uh, also with the curriculum being state standards, um, we believe there's going to be guidance coming from the state with some of the changes, but we're likely moving forward where where Caesar Chavez was part of the curriculum, it'll be more about the farmworker movement. That'll be the focus. Um, >> thank you for that. Um, I think it's also important that when controversies arise, since we're a democracy school, that that in itself becomes the topic of learning, right?

So um but also >> but we also have Larry Leon Philip Vera Cruz we also have Filipinos who were very silenced during the farm workers movement. So uh that's also something to consider. Although I would love it to be Dolores where it's a but there were a lot of leaders. I think that within the social studies we're trying to move away from just focusing on leaders and moving towards the whole movement in itself because you know what happens if another leader gets in trouble for something else. So if that's organ if that's a conversation then organically I would like I would like that to happening specific uh item on the agenda. It is a it is a sort of retroactive to this past March 31st.

We, as you know, because of cost, because of the subs and how many, you're training the entire staff, we typically do two schools, sometimes three if it's two junior highs and high school a year. So, that's why it's taken a while. And so, Kennedy is the last school. And then, uh, with the subs that we also are going to be utilizing, it's not just Kennedy, it's any other school that has staff who have not yet been trained, whether it's a new hire, someone who came here from another district, we want to make sure all staff continue training. We'll probably bring back this agreement every so often because we want to make sure that we're current with the training. And then also they have some what's like called some recharge and some other things where now we've been trained they do things to just kind of take it to the next level or do a little refresh recharges and things where it just keeps the momentum.

Do you know if the flipping group does restorative practices? So I don't know if they do I yes I believe part of their training is connected to it but I don't know that they do it in its in its purest form. I think it's more integrated into their overarching approach. Okay. Right. So I think if we truly want restorative practice training we would probably go with other groups ground some of the other groups that we've worked with who that is their their their expertise. I don't know that that's flipping the flipping group's expertise. It's more of a holistic whole child approach in the classroom where they integrate those kinds of practices, but they don't do that specifically.
