So that was my >> Yeah, that mean like that was my impression when we said the two-hour model. Um, and also as a way to encourage more teachers to do the two-hour model because the kids acquiring English has really down. >> So, let's just talk about this partic because I want you to be thinking if this option moves forward, this sort of specificity is going to be needed in your agreement language. So, just think about that's for anything. But just since this is coming up, uh, Amber, no. Is it Amber, then Arya? No. Katie, then Ivonne. >> Okay. My concern with this is that um TCA doesn't use the two-hour model specifically because we're a DLI school and but they still are very much responsible for teaching within their model and it and it impacts them as well. So I don't want to eliminate those teachers who are teaching that from this.

>> Okay. So Ivon Then Daniel >> I understood this option as everybody who was teaching multilingual learners that will get this. >> so let's So there's clearly confusion around the option. So we're going to need more specificity. I think there several folks believed it to be one way. Now we're hearing some differences. So let's make sure that we've got specific specificity in the option and we may need to re-evaluate it as a result of what's happening right now. Daniel, >> so to explain I I think the language is clear. So there's the way the school district uh has set up and I think this is a state thing is there's several different models of English language development that students can take. Um, the pull out model, which I think you also called the one-out model or the one-hour model, is where there is an ELD teacher who pulls kids out of the classroom and that is their entire maybe not their entire job, but that is their job is to they they're paid solely to do EL and that's why they're excluded from this group is because they they don't have any other responsibilities other than teaching EL.

The dual language model like uh TCA uses is where students are learning English and Spanish um simultaneously and dual language teachers are on a separate salary schedule and already receive an additional $1,000 which is >> teach in Spanish. But what about the teachers who teach in English and they're responsible for the SEI kids and the SEI model? >> Well then those are those kids doing two hours or they doing dual language >> two hours because of the minutes for dual language but they're still doing SEI. They're only doing one hour of SEI though, right? >> Well, yeah. So, they basically have to get all the information into these kids and get them to pass a Zella in less time. >> That's fair. And then the the twohour model is where you have a home room teacher who has to teach who's their English teacher usually or the elementary home room teacher who has to do all of the SEI two hours of SEI um without any add any additional trainings and additional certification sometimes without any additional compensation.

So they don't get the dual language pay and they have all of the additional responsibilities of a home room teacher on top of doing EL which is was the intention of this option is my understanding is to compensate those people for the extra work that they're doing on top of already being a gened home room teacher. Okay. >> All right. Let's just evaluate this on the fiscally responsible sustainable standard and then if need be we need to re-examine it. Uh it sounds like there was more understanding about being for the 2hour than anything else. I understand Katie's got concern about folks not necessarily, but as presented, it was intended for those in that two-hour pull out. Well, when it was costed out, there's a number 58 next to it. So, whoever costed it out would know exactly what we were doing because who were they counting in that 58, right?

We moved money from a stipen to the base and we saw really no improvement in our ability to recruit psychologists because we didn't actually increase the base. We just moved from that to the base.
