all right thank you appreciate that my pleasure um i don't think that do you have a question for well i i asked the question at the last meeting and and the information was provided um it i now don't have any additional questions all right okay well with that um i'm gonna gavel open our public hearing and ask if we have um public comment we do have public comment on this item uh julie treat had signed up for public comment but she had to leave due to an emergency and asked that catherine read her statement is there a catherine present okay okay um would anybody else that's in the audience that maybe didn't have a chance to sign up like to speak on this topic in this map adoption process and just to make it clear this is the this is potentially the final decision on one of these three maps tonight okay seeing none i'm going to close the public hearing and at this time i'm going to call for a motion and i make a motion to approve the green map second all right so we have a motion and a second and um now i would like to open the floor for discussion are you waiting for discussion oh yeah sorry i didn't see your hands oh okay yeah i have considerable concern about the green map because of the impact of the sequencing it um basically well not basically it does take three areas um out of uh being able to consider one of the sitting board members if that board member chooses to run it also puts um three current board members two of whom are not up for re-election yet against each other in the election which to me um leaves so much um in the way of divisiveness shall we say in this process that we've already had enough that i don't support doing anything that doesn't give the public and the sitting board members all an equal opportunity in this first round of re-elections and it doesn't disinfect dis enfranchise a number of areas of our community we've all represented the entire district and to suddenly change so that the public doesn't have an opportunity to vote on whether or not we all continue to represent parts of the district to me is unwise dr kaiser i see your hand yes i'm going to uh not support the green map and my argument is about that south campus and the avenues are probably two of the more stronger community identified areas and they would be split between multiple trustee areas and to me that is very negative we said one of our things our concerns was to have communities that have a strong identity be able to be represented in a district voting area and this uh and it's interesting to me because it was brought up last time that one of the issues against the blue map was that it split the mountain communities and here we are splitting communities that are literally right in the heart of chico so yes i'm not for that either thank you um okay so um on on those points and i appreciate um i appreciate your perspective um i i would disagree that equating neighborhoods in the urban center of chico uh to mountain communities and not splitting those up is is quite different just from my personal experience of living in a mountain community versus living you know on one street versus four blocks away and that being you know the similar experience i i the neighborhoods is more of a sense of of you know um location whereas uh mountain communities is really a sense of experience and and experiences so i i disagree with that analysis just because um i don't think that they're equivalent i do want to just go through the criteria i have been going over and over and over the last few weeks just so it's really clear my thinking there are some criteria that i lean heavily on wanting to support the green map there are some criteria that i do you know think the orange maps do better but at the end my decision was very slimly that the green map would be the better choice um so the first top criteria for me is the voting rights act um which is the concentration of the hispanic latinx vote in one trustee area the green map does that better by a margin of 0.8 percent so you know it could be considered smaller um to me a one percent or more is a greater difference but still there's a difference um criteria two nearly equal population um the green map does this the best each trustee area is relatively equal with a difference of only 790 whereas the orange maps are 1740 or 1900 difference between the two trustee areas so more population in some than others um so there's a just a difference there and these again were those are the two legal criteria um it's all the maps fall within the legal criteria it's just which ones do it better is where i'm now basing my my decisions off of communities of interest i strictly was interested in mountain communities the neighborhoods was pretty low on my priority list [Music] socioeconomic diversity this is actually i think a healthy discussion we could have um do we want to focus on an even distribution of socioeconomic status or would it be better to concentrate higher socioeconomic status in one trustee area and lower socioeconomic status in another trustee area to create equitable opportunities for elected officials that at the end of the day is a philosophical difference that you know people could base their decision on i've actually gone back and forth with that um so to me um the orange maps create more diversity socioeconomic diversity so there's some maps with a lower socioeconomic status versus some other districts that have a much higher socioeconomic um status whereas the green map actually did the best of um of having a a very even kind of median basis on socioeconomic status and that kind of goes along with housing tenure too so the orange maps do better versus the green map if you're looking for diversity but if you're looking for it to be evenly distributed then the green map does better than the orange maps so again that's just a philosophical difference on what you individually think is more important to have an even distribution of socioeconomic and housing status or to have that diverse distribution school boundaries um this was actually a criteria that i i did myself and so this was kind of maybe a little bit more subjective but i was looking for basically how spread out um or how how many um basically how many school boundary areas had um more than one percent covered by a member or covered by a trustee it's kind of hard to explain but the orange maps did it better meaning they they had a greater distribution among the elementary schools it's it's very close though it's not again these are as as i go down the list it's it's becoming a lower criteria for me so i started with my most important and i'm going kind of to like my lowest priority and then um election sequencing was my lowest priority and election sequencing the orange maps do create a better opportunity for our community to give to give their opinion on how current sitting members do i don't agree that the orange maps give any kind of advantage to current incumbents because mr tennis and i definitely won the last election cycle and we unseated incumbents who have been on this board for quite a while and so i actually don't think that the orange maps give a an advantage to the current incumbents and then to just kind of reiterate what member robinson says says but to put names to this situation so if we approve the green map what will happen this year is if member robinson decides to run again if we follow the sequence that has been proposed and we could change the sequence but if we follow the sequence that has been proposed member robinson if she chooses to run this year has the opportunity to run in district five this year that would mean either i also residing in district five would either have to run against her this year and give up my general seat and then we would have an appointment for my current seat or i would finish out my term if i want to be on the school board again i would wait two years and then i would have to run against ms robinson or whoever may be in that district at that time similarly mr tennis would be in the same situation as me for district four however this year in the elections this year with the green map election sequencing what happens with district four if mr lando and dr kaiser both choose to run this year they will have to run against each other in district four and we will certainly have an open seat available where there is not a current incumbent um in thank you for bringing up the map in district one so as the sequencing is laid out at this time did i summarize that pretty well rob that's a lot i didn't mean to go on a total diatribe i just really wanted to like lay out all the things but yeah i know i did not have nothing that you said was incorrect so uh that cover and yes uh and as also uh is that the board is this question with this uh if the green map were picked with the sequence uh especially with as you said there will definitely be one of the three areas that would not have any current board members in it would need to go first and the other two would need to wait assuming that you wanted to resolve uh the other two races where you had incumbent members whose terms were expiring uh and so this proposed sequence does go for area one uh you could easily select two or three to be the 2022 election instead right i'll go ahead and make my comments now um thank you for letting me um a process like this doesn't get as much attention from people as probably it deserves um because it's important and these maps are going to be around for you know at least 10 years they might form a basis for whatever maps come after that and i just want to say that there has been a lot of maneuvering that has gone into creating this orange map and and it's it's very palpable i mean the fact that board member lando disappeared halfway through the meeting i think is remarkable um considering he's on the record two years ago saying that districts should not be drawn around incumbents and that is exactly what we've done with the orange map mr tennis i just want to i don't want to interrupt you but i do need to interrupt you to please not reference other board members when they're not here to speak for themselves okay well my presentation is going to get even better because you madam vice president um tonight acting as our president have been the popular map terminator you have been the terminator of popular maps in this process you annihilated the blue map which was far and away i mean we received many many many comments in favor of the blue map uh the next meeting you terminated the purple map which also received many many many comments in favor of it the orange maps have received exactly two public comments in favor of them the green map has received to my knowledge one public comment several weeks ago you have destroyed the popular maps in this process and so i don't know what you're playing at with making a motion to approve the green map um i would love it if it passed tonight because it was the only map that was objectively created that's still on our list every other map on our list orange and orange b have were drawn specifically to protect and strengthen the existing incumbents of the board going into future election elections particularly the one that's going to happen this november and you know i was never a star student in math but my math skills are good enough to predict that the map that's going to be passed tonight is what i've known was going to be the map that was passed the second i laid eyes on it and that is one of the orange maps so i don't know what is the meaning of all this exactly your your big speech about the green map and how much you like it but i think we all know where this conversation is heading so i'm ready to vote for the green map um i will absolutely not be voting for the orange map and i'm sad that mr lando is not here to stand by his comments of two years ago all right um that being said um i would like to ask for mr gant to come up here because i have a question for you please i asked for mr gantt to come up yes so our next board meeting is not until march 9th and if we were to somehow we're in a kind of a real interesting situation here if we were to somehow um move this item what's the word there's a a word a technical word that's not coming to me anymore i had it earlier where we continue this item to there we go to the march 9th meeting you can table it [Music] how how much does that really tighten us on our timeline to be on track to comply with everything by law well the the the one absolute deadline is that at least a hundred it the county committee uh has to do two things in order for this to be sent on to the elections office and be considered for the next election first of all they have to approve a resolution and that resolution will have to include a determination that they are obviating the need to go to the state board of education to waive the public election that's not a big problem the law was changed to allow the county for county committee to pass a resolution that did away with the need for either a public election to approve the maps or go to the state board of education for a waiver um at this point you you will not have time even if you pass this tonight you would not have time to get on the state board of education agenda uh in time uh to move this forward um through that process so we already know that however my understanding is that the county committee on school district organization which is the county board of education they sit as the county committee is well aware of the circumstances and is well aware of the adverse impact of not passing whatever the final map is by the deadline that 125 day period from technically speaking you there's there's time they could easily consider it sometime between march and april um and and i believe that they will be flexible they if there's an issue with them getting it on their regular agenda my understanding is that the county committee would be willing to set a special meeting so i think there's some flexibility there the elections office would like to get that information as soon as possible i think we heard from someone from the elections office who confirmed that they are in a certain amount of crunch and there's an awful lot coming their way right they are hoping they aren't going to get this 130 days before the election they they would like some buffer yeah to me those are those are hopes and and desires but that's not law so um kathy thank you paul i don't does anybody else have questions for paul right now i do want to add on to what mr gantt said is that we do have scheduled right here in this room uh on march 8th for the county commission to hear and make a decision so they would need to move that meeting back yes which is three weeks away i mean that's a reasonable amount of time if yeah okay and there's always a possibility there's we won't know if if you do continue or table this to another meeting you won't know until that subsequent meeting whether the board will decide to amend one of the maps in some particular if you did it would have to be published for at least seven days before it could be formally adopted so that would push out timelines significantly if that were to happen but if if um if if the maps do not change uh then i think that what uh superintendent's daily has indicated is that there probably need to be a change in the schedule for the county committee to somewhat later date but as i said i think they will be willing to be flexible and work with you okay doctor thank you dr kaiser i want to make a motion to approve the orange b map um dr kaiser we actually still have the green map on the table so um there's not an open all right i call the question on the green map um i i actually uh intend to revoke my motion and move to uh table this item until our next meeting when we have a full board i'm not comfortable with this i'm gonna just that's my motion at this time i move the green map why is this so difficult i second the green map but i would like to actually suspend this until the next meeting i'm stuck here madam vice president i still haven't spoken on discussion of the green map i we we all discussed on the green map but if you would like to be called on again i don't remember discussing the green map versus the orange map oh i'm sorry i thought you let off no you started you actually had the first comments but you only spoke of the orange maps and i didn't realize that you're you were coming back around yeah yeah you've you've spoken during discussion time that's why i didn't realize that you oh yeah no i i have comments on on the green map and the the very the very thorough uh input that you gave i i wanted to make some comments point of privilege do we have a motion in a second on the green map um so i am a little bit out of my element at this point i just need to take a moment to back play what just happened because i wanted to suspend my motion um to hold off this vote until we have a full board which would ideally be our next meeting and it didn't get seconded so we're going to revert back to the green map being on the table so we do have a motion in a second still okay thank you thanks for giving me that opportunity to talk through that sorry it's getting a little late okay um remember robinson you have the floor yes thank you um i'm going to incorporate a little bit of what the orange maps represent too as well as my discussion of the green maps one of the things that that you highlighted was the difference in socioeconomic um [Music] oops where's that place and the ownership of houses versus rentals i recognize your statements are true those statistics are represented in the comparisons between the green maps and the orange maps my feeling is that that we don't need to be afraid of that statistic being part of our map configuration i think just having knowledge that if uh if i were a trustee representing an area that is is shown to be more socioeconomically above or below the average that's what i know you know that's part of my basis of information for being a board member representing one of the areas i don't see it as a bad thing i see it as a needed bit of information one of the other things that i saw with the green map was something dr kaiser mentioned of what it does with the the areas of the avenues and the uh that is one was one of the most significant neighborhood designations that we started with and i still believe that that is a significant neighborhood area that needs to be kept together and not not split up i do think it was a good move to add school sites to orange b that made sense to give area was it five yes to give area five add add those not only those schools but it adds a population that um may be interested in at a future date being on the school board and it increases the you know that neighborhood population and admittedly what is represented in five is the foothill areas nord cohasset forest ranch and so adding marigold loma vista in pleasant valley to five is something i support on the uh i'm sorry where are oh there we go um all of the the major component of the voting rights act is to make sure that our underrepresented population which is the latina population in this area doesn't get split up to the point where they lose their voting clout and nothing that that orange a or b or green does that they're all um maintaining that latino split and um in who's in those areas the other thing that i think we need to recognize again and we've talked about it several times is this district has a very fluid elementary school population i believe it's 60 percent i'm looking to my our demographers out there it's either 60 or 40 percent 40 percent don't attend a school where they live they attend out of their area right and that was an average and the highest one of the highest is almost 60 percent i'm sorry you said you're right and that's an average and then some schools it's almost it's almost up to yes with some schools it's much higher which to me means that the one criteria that that we need to safeguard because that's the law and that's what we're trying to do is keeping our latino population as close to staying together in in an area so that they do if they choose have a a voting clout if you look at two one of the things that we wanted was to have our areas um you know kind of blocks rather than bifurcated wrong word probably and both of the orange maps are much neater blocks than the green map the i don't see a downside to orange a or orange b regarding meeting all of the criteria of the voting rights act i think we've done a good job of doing that then we're back to the issue of sequencing and whether or not taking away areas from having the possibility nothing guaranteed but having the possibility of being able to have an election in the next cycle that may consider an incumbent and i don't know that i'd want to list incumbent considering if i decided to run listing incumbent hasn't been a really good thing on our on our elections in the last three cycles i don't think any incumbent has won um so listing incumbent is not necessarily a good thing but it gives a broad choice to everyone and it doesn't put current board members in a situation where they're running against another current board member and in the in the initial cycle and all we're doing is setting up the sequencing and in the initial cycle and you know as members get elected or choose not to run in subsequent elections things things will rotate and change but at least we have set a platform that is equitable for each of the current board members if they choose to participate in the process and there are three of us and i don't believe that any of the three of us have made a statement as to whether or not we intend to run again and i i don't think that's even part of the consideration it's having the option okay can i respond to one little thing that she said the idea of your concern about it being equitable for current board members that should not factor into this conversation at all okay we're we're not here setting this map in order to be equitable to you or to me or dr kaiser caitlin and ms dalby sorry mr lando we are here to create the best map for the future of the district that's going to be around you know potentially when we're long gone um so no our interests as incumbents should not factor into the decision that we make which is why i can't stand the orange map because that's exactly what it does as far as i'm concerned that's all it does which is why the green map is the only ethical choice for us tonight um may i respond okay um i'm looking at the the graphs of the statistic of who's in each of those areas and as far as equitable there isn't anything in any of those statistics that is inequitable for any of the of the um district presentations in orange b or orange a in fact they more closely align with with our you know our streets our schools our our balance um if you look at green three in green is is is not good um it just i would vote no on green just because of how it maps out three but socioeconomically um the orange maps are the worst maps we've seen in terms of in terms of equitability i i mean equity i guess maybe would be a word because you have a huge disparity in yes average income from one area to the next that's the reality of the areas it's not a down i mean it's not a negative it just needs to be known and recognized it is we're showing it here if you were a trustee in in one of the areas you'd look and say okay this percentage of my area is x on the socioeconomic balance scale on the chart it's it's a point of knowledge that's that's all it is it gives insight to whoever's representing that area as to what their community in their area looks like dr kaiser i see your hand um so i want to go back to the issue which sort of got dismissed that south campus and the avenues are split those are two of our oldest neighborhoods and the avenues have been extremely active in organizing themselves as a neighborhood and even bringing issues to the city uh which they thought were impacting them differently um i think south campus has also got that it's got a lower income component because of the amount of student housing but again very active communities so to split them up doesn't really make any sense to me the orange both oranges keep all the neighborhoods together as in within a single trustee area the population range of hispanic is very very close in both of those and they're all within the required population range so i really don't see anything negative about orange a or b i was suggesting orange b because of the fact that there are more school connections to [Music] area five than had been before but we have an extremely fluid student population they may be going to school because of where their parents work they may be going to school because of where their friends live they may be going to school because of a particular attraction that we have built into our schools whether they're bilingual roseville whether they i mean rosedale excuse me whether they are very much in interested in the sciences parkview i mean it kind of goes on and on with some really specific attractions and parents have made those decisions based on their perceptions of what's best for their kid so you can't i don't want to mandate that parents have to take their kid to the neighborhood that they live in because that could create a lot of difficulties for those parents and it changes anyway when they are old enough sixth grade to go to uh junior high so um i'm not at all in favor of choosing the green map over the orange so either we take a vote and see how that goes i think uh delaying it for that long of a time puts the other group that have to make this decision in a very tight bind call the question i guess uh we have a motion to call to question like to vote on it to end debate um sure i'll agree to that so it requires two-thirds majority to pass that's two-thirds right three-quarters would you like to let's do a roll-call vote seconded i'm losing my rob i'm just losing my steam a little bit go ahead i don't think it would require two thirds i'm reading the to pass a map to adopt a map no no this is just to we're following the rules of order so you made a motion to move on to the vote we have to actually vote to move on to the vote at this point i i robinson i on the motion to end debate dolby a tennis eye sir i all right so the motion is to approve the green map um we will do a roll call vote starting with member robinson robinson no let's all be i tennis i keyser nay the motion fails i will call for another motion sorry i believe dr kaiser has the floor okay thank you dr kaiser yes i want to move the orange b map i'll second the motion um do we have discussion or debate at this time we're discussing the orange map rules of order we don't have to we've already got all of the things we need to say out briefly i'll just say this is a moral atrocity um the way that the other maps which were objectively created by our competent team mr lewis i think that you did a great job in drafting the initial three maps blue green and purple i want to thank you for your not inexpensive service to this school district i think it's tragic that the money we spent developing those maps over what i consider to be basically a two-year period which was probably in excess of a hundred thousand dollars and the end came to nothing because we came up or not we but somebody um a mystery person came up with um a map that started out as one orange map and became two that was basically it was written in the stars that this thing was going to be adopted because it protected the people who are going to be voting on it this is a classic example of elected officials choosing their constituents rather than constituents choosing their elected officials in my opinion the orange map represents just the most blatant gerrymandering and protection of a majority interest as possible regardless of how legal it may or may not be and i'm strongly against adoption of the orange maps and i'll echo my fellow board member tom lando who regrettably is not able to be with us at this particular moment in the board meeting two years ago when he said that he hoped we could avoid the kinds of shenanigans where districts are drowned drawn around incumbents sadly that is exactly what is happening here and that is what has been happening as long as the orange map has been in development and as long as people have been promoting it we still discussing we're still discussing thank you um the development of our maps did not start until the census was released in october of 2021 so it it hasn't been years and something you said mr tennis was i'm going to repeat i ha i hope accurately is that we would be if we go with one of the orange maps we would be selecting our candidates there's a way to stretch the sequencing to where someone might believe that however once that happens it ends because the next part of the process is the people in each one of those districts the voting parents and others do the selecting so if there's any selection that's happening tonight it happens once after that it's put completely in the hands of the voters is there any dis further discussion uh seeing none um i'll call for a roll call vote starting with ms robinson robinson i on approving orange b dolby no and i do want to qualify that i am still not comfortable with having this vote without our fifth board member here tennis nay nice ryan the motion fails do we have another motion ms robinson i move approval of orange a second do we have further discussion for orange a seeing none i'll call for the vote robinson aye dalby now tennis name eyes your eye emotion fails i'd like to move that we bring back the blue map for consideration the motion fails i think we've reached the point where the board needs to make the decision to bring this back to a future meeting because it does not appear you're going to be able to get into a decision tonight so i already made that motion i don't think i can make it again i already made that motion and it failed i don't think i can make that motion again madam vice president i i believe it failed because we had not yet done voting okay it was premature it was why i didn't support it and i'm very concerned that we can't meet our timelines so that all of this happens by the november election and that we we maintain in the status quo without electing anyone in november except for the three incumbents that have a right to run without our you know if we don't get this done we basically punted on so really quick do we have a motion to to so we can discuss do we have a motion to postpone and that's the march 9th we could have a special meeting anytime between now and march 8th so that there is something to deliver um to determine a date certain [Music] kathy kathy has her hand madam kaiser madam president yes i'd like to make a motion to call for a special board meeting with just this one topic and to let's see i'm very concerned about the pressure we're putting on the county to do this in a timely manner so march 2nd is that feasible it's available on my calendar so so president kaiser is your motion to have a special election to discuss maps on march 2nd yes i'll second the motion okay we have a motion and a second do we have further discussion the motion is to bring this back to cons for consideration at the march on march 2nd at a special board meeting we do not currently have a board meeting scheduled for march 2nd no because of march having spring break um we have only one scheduled board meeting a regular scheduled board meeting i think i'm scheduled to be out of town all i can find out though is this allowed some party communications better discussion check my schedule harder discussion but you will have to vote one way or another since it is i will be out of town until that morning and then i'll be back in town so i'll make it if it happens to be that day and the county meeting is the eighth so it would be prior to the county meeting i will be available okay um any further discussion see none let's mr gant i just want to make sure that are we good okay um okay see no further discussion or many more comments from staff i'd like to call for the vote starting with member robinson robinson i to approve a special meeting on this agenda item march 2nd dolby i tennis eye geyser eye all right thanks everybody moving on i do just want to add in there oh we have absolutely no control over when butte county office event holds their special meaning um yeah everything stars back they may push theirs back right but um we have a date and we will make it happen on march 2nd thank you all right moving right along to ed services 9.2.1 informational only mid-year local control accountability plan lcap update yeah i'm going to you can see my team working their way up and they all have a part of these slides i'll have um miss tina keene explain the new law i guess that was put in place then uh houses do a mid-year local control accountability plan update and then we will go over as quickly as we can for you guys with this information because i know it's getting late and so we will do the best we can to get through this for you guys sure thing good evening uh we are here to present an informational item only it will come back around when the 2022 el cap comes back around in june this year the state department of education said that we would have to include a mid-year lcap update so this is the mid-year of the 2021 vote cap there are some pieces to it that we had to include one was a narrative supplement which were five questions that asked us various things about the lcap we had to include some data and we do have that we also have to include our mid-year lcap expenditure report which gives us snapshot of uh what was the proposal what were the proposed expenditures from the 2021 l cap and where we're at right now with that as it's mid-year and then also an update to the overview for the parents as well so i do have tim here for data and charisse bromley also has helped with the the financial piece of it the supplement as i said kind of starts us off it's got five narrative prompts that really just ask about the collection of of ideas and and things moving to how we got to the 2021 el cap and then the data that we see with those expenditures and the updates so i'm going to hand it over to tim to carry on to the next piece good evening i'm going to share some data with you tonight related to lcap actions put in place over the last summer and actually put in to action at the beginning of this school year i want to make a note that the data i'm going to share tonight is in no way representative all the data that goes into the the full lcap nor is it the same data or as extensive of data that we will share with our stakeholder groups coming up in the spring so the first chart we're looking at is average suspensions per day this was something we were very worried about with students coming back to school after some odd years in 1920 and 2021 we can see a significant decline in the number of suspensions this is suspensions per day to account for months with more days or less days so this is average per day it's hard to credit uh drop in suspensions to any one service um we have as you are you're well aware we have put in place a lot of additional counseling which we believe is helping but we also want to credit the site pbis teams as well as classroom teachers and classified staff on the sites for creating an inviting atmosphere welcoming the kids back and setting the tone well um real quick uh dr kaiser had her hand up dr kaiser did you have something to ask uh not right now oh okay i'll come back okay thank you one service uh that we put in place this year was elementary reading specialists under under the direction of our mtss coordinator christy benson they are at every elementary school and are serving students on a pull-out intervention basis so students are pulled out of their classroom and i'm sharing this graph to you each set of bars is a grade level and the the green in the background shows the growth of students on our phonics test so letter sounds between the beginning of the school year and the first end of the first trimester we see a significantly higher rate of growth for our students receiving reading specialist services this one this slide points out our increased counseling contacts so we see a significant increase in contacts per student in each of our student groups and you can see that while we have gone up across the board our higher needs students as evidenced by other academic and behavioral data have received more visits and i want to point out the foster youth number there foster youth we receive 9.1 visits per per student or contacts per student there's been x outstanding job of outreach to those students under the direction of jamie mclaughlin our homeless and foster coordinator and we do see as an increase in our homeless as well attendance rate is something that's on everybody's mind right now um we are down um as is the state as is uh the county there's not one butte county district listed here over our 95.5 percent yearly average that we shoot for i want to note that these districts are of all different sizes we just simply wanted a ballpark figure for what was going on in the county and that we stand pretty much right in the middle and this is january data with the new block schedule at chico high we wanted to highlight the average credit per student has increased as we all would expect the breadth of study has has expanded the availability of a broad range of courses has expanded for our students with significantly more students receiving a to g and cte credits in the same semester same is true to a lesser degree with students receiving ap and cte credits so that was one of the the primary driving driving forces behind putting in place that block schedule so kids are getting more access to classes and kathy if you still have that question if any other board members have no it's not a i'll just say this that uh the extra support that my grandson's gotten from this reading specialist and the outreach for social emotional has been really great thank you good evening as tina mentioned earlier one of the other requirements for the lcap supplement that we're bringing to you tonight is a update to the budget overview for parents so this is a quick slide that just shows a comparison between the revenue amounts that we brought to you as a part of the lcap that was approved in june and then the chart on the right is the revised revenue that we brought to you a couple months ago in december so across chico unified in our general fund the revenue increased by a million dollars as you can see we did a pretty good job of estimating when we did our original budget there wasn't a huge swing which we like to see so the when we looked at the details the different or the changes were across the board so every every category the total lcff funds all state other state funds all of those changed a little bit so there weren't any glaring differences between the projected revenue and the revised revenue the second financial piece of the presentation tonight has to do with the actions and expenditures so these charts show the budget that we brought to you in june so that's the budgeted expenditures each of those are associated with one of the actions in the lcap goal one so that's what this chart shows that um column that says mid-year expenditures those are our expenditures that we paid through february 5th so um the implementation oh sorry yeah thank you the implementation categories we decided to go off of since we're over halfway through the year if we are 50 over in each category then we doomed them on target so as you can see the total for goal one we are over 50 so we're doing good as far as um how we're spending the funds that you approved in june um and then if you want to go the second so this is just the same chart but for goals two and three um so yeah that's mainly the financial piece that goes along with lcap supplement um and as i said in each goal luckily we are spending similar to how we projected we were going to we brought the lcap to you in june for approval um and then along with the large amount of money that we get with lcff another big pot of money that we've had this year that you've heard about a lot is the covid funds so jay's going to discuss a little bit about the change in cobit funding so this is again a revised budget the board gave us about budget to work upon about things that they wanted to make sure that we got with the code of money i want to move forward with saying that we are able to meet the needs this is we wanted to make sure we're meeting the needs for next year and the money that we have already had spent this year and the make sure that we had the main goals that we wanted that the board wanted to make sure that we covered with that covert funding was still in place and then we have that third year out that we're looking at also i wanted to let you know that um the class size reduction you could see we had to increase the dollars on that and that's because of the pass of the block schedule for pv high school so we had to find some money in this coveted budget well went from chico high it has it and then pb sorry pb got it passed uh for next year so added both schools now in the block schedule so that would increase money that we were going to need to make sure that that happened so we were able to meet the needs with our counselors we're going to be able to keep all 17 of them for next year we're able to keep our reading teachers for the elementary was one they think that we were able to because we had another grant funding for our summer academy so we're going to be using that grant funding so we were able to use the money that we had for summer academies for elementary schools we transferred the money for what we're going to have from that grant into the smaller class sizes so we were able to make sure that we could cover that class size reduction so those are some of the main things that we wanted to make sure that we are going to completely be able to have for the next year and our main goal is that third year out to make sure that we could see if we can at this budget revision we think that we could have all 17 councillors come back for that third third year too so those on that budget revision we just wanted to there's no action we just wanted to let you know that we were able to move some money around from one grand to another to make sure that we could increase the class size reduction for the pv block schedule and be able to keep all the other priorities that the boards asked us to do yeah if john can you click on that i don't know some i'll can you click on that little the 2022 meeting dates again we just want to make sure these are up everywhere people have started to send them out on the campuses again our first lcap community night is march 8th again as we told you um i think that we expressed the march 8th one will be the first community night to kind of go over what we've done this past year and to see what parents were looking for for changes that one will be held on each site plus at the marsh multi-purpose room and then as you can see the next dates and how we start meeting all the different student group families and then the we'll have another community group with the suggestions they have again um clear down on uh could see it it's going to be at um april 12th that'll be the last family community meeting that we will have after we meet with all the other student groups you can close that out thank you any questions from the board do we have any questions technical questions from the board i don't have a question i i just want to give a compliment again to probably christy and erica and others that have done just a tremendous job of oh tina you're sitting there too uh of uh putting together the presentation of when the meetings are going to happen and who's to be involved it it's um it's very informative and easily read i went on the website and saw the same thing and you know anybody gets on parent square it's it's all there it's beautiful thank you we will continue to have our target case managers and our principals to be pushing out those community meetings that any parent could be involved in those meetings and we encourage it uh do we have any other questions or comments there's no comments from no public comments any comments from the audience question okay this is informational only so no action is required and we will move on to actually item 9.3.1 is business services however we are going to move this item a transportation update it's an information only item to a future board meeting because of the lengthiness of this yep of this meeting so we will move to the next item which is still business services 3.2 independent financial audit good evening again all right guys so um before you for your approval is the 20 20 21 financial independent audit as a school district we are required to contract with an external audit firm each school year our 20-20-21 audit was completed by a local firm hmns and this was our second year working with their team as a part of the annual audit hmns visited our district office during the summer they go out to a few of our school sites also to do testing in september and then return to the district office to finalize the financial review in october testing completed during these visits takes a lot of coordination amongst our staff members to gather requested documentation the auditors look at dollars we spent the funding we received and also our compliance with local state and federal guidelines the compliance portion of this review covers many different aspects of how we operate as chico unified including communication with parents staffing ratios whether or not we spent grant funds appropriately attendance logs and the list goes on as part of the 2021 review we had one compliance finding related to our tiered re-engagement plans now obviously we hope that we don't have any findings each year and that we meet all the compliance pieces but i would just like to thank all of our staff for their hard work during a very difficult and unprecedented time the fact that we were compliant in all other aspects of the auditor's testing speaks volumes to hard work being done in our district and do we have any questions on the audit dr kaiser i noted that there were three aspects that were based around student either student groups i think at pb or recording student absences and then getting them back into full time but i was impressed with the audit however i really need to go home so i just can oh it's not your presentation i get it kathy okay okay um so no more technical questions from the board no public comment comment from the audience this is a discussion action item so i will call for a motion associated with this item i move uh acceptance of the audit report or is it approval that the motion is approval it's approval approval thank you i'm all second any further discussion by the board okay the motions to accept the independent financial audit i'll call foreign robinson eye for dolby ai tennessee how's your eye thank you thank you all right thank you thank you moving on uh okay we are at human resources 9.4.1 it's a discussion action resolution number 1571-22 national counseling week okay so um unfortunately this national school counseling week was last week it was just before this board meeting so but we still want to pass the resolution so we can get it in our february newsletter and let our folks know that we've recognized them so so i'd like to ask the board to approve resolution 1571-22 proclamation of national counseling week i'd like to read very briefly whereas school counselors and elementary counselor assistants are employed in public and private schools to help students reach their full potential and whereas school counselors and counselor assistants are actively committed to helping students explore their abilities strengths interests and talents as these traits relate to career awareness and development and whereas school counselors and elementary counselor assistants help parents focus on ways to further the educational personal and social growth of their children and whereas counselors school counselors and elementary counselor assistants work with teachers and other educators to help students explore their potential and set realistic goals for themselves and whereas school counselors and elementary school counselor assistants seek to identify and utilize community resources that can enhance and complement comprehensive school counseling programs and help students become productive members of society and whereas comprehensive development school counseling programs are considered an integral part of the educational process that enables all students to achieve success in school therefore the chico unified school board of education hereby proclaims february 7 through 11 2022 as national school counseling week do we have technical questions public comment no public agree with everything in it all right so emotions associated with his agenda item i move approval okay um and i do want to recognize i think that dr kaiser has also stepped out of the meeting understandably it is getting late um so with that we will call for um the vote remember robinson unless there's discussion we're voting oh approving the yes yes thank you robinson dalby and then we we have uh dr kaiser and uh member lando are absent passes three zero thank you okay next gosh we've got dwindling down here i'm trying to try to move fast right so 9.4.2 is still gym okay this resolution is the elimination of cse positions we periodically bring those to the board as the positions are no longer needed no one has been laid off we have met with the union and and met and conferred with them regarding these eliminations and so again we're bringing this these to the board in order to eliminate these positions questions for staff no questions i'm approved do we have public comment no public comment do we have a motion you could also move i could also move it's okay i forgot this that's that's the one yes okay so we have a motion um to move the resolution second um no further discussion i'll second it but my coach didn't say anything no you you you actually made the you made the motion it was i seconded it seconded and now there's no discussion so robinson i don't be a [Laughter] thank you for your very informed emotion madam uh aye tennis we'll just blame the the speaker here all right thank you that passes three zero with two absences um next item is uh mr hanlon again okay so these are the same thing um although they're non-csca positions they're kuma and apparent aid positions so um i'm we're bringing these forward for the first one is an ammono supervisor that one person was promoted to manager um he's been with us for a while so the position is not going to be refilled it's he just took a promotion so the others are parent classroom aides so i need the board's approval to eliminate those positions questions from the board no questions from the board public comment no public comment do we have a motion i'm i move approval of resolution 1574-22 i'll second and you know that's the wrong oh gosh that's the wrong number excuse me it's 5773-22 1573-22 i'll second any further discussion nope we'll start with a member robinson robertson dalby aye tennessee lost my coach one more one more i think moving along back next item is jim again okay so this is a certificated um non-reelecting release so contrary to what the news reported these are not due to budget cuts we have anytime we have a temporary staff member in the certificated side it's because we have a teacher or a counselor or somebody is certificated that is on a leave of absence we have an abnormally high number of leave of absences this year because of covet and health related reasons and maternity child bonding so those two have just been we've have probably twice as many as we normally do so we have a lot of temps this year they know when they sign their contract that it's only for the year and that the temporary or the permanent teachers have a right to those positions when they come back so they will be coming back next year by edcode we have to notify them by march 15th so we're bringing the this list of attempts to the board to get approval to lay them off at the end of the school year any board questions public comment nope okay uh do we have a motion for this item i move passage of this resolution i'll second that motion all right uh seeing no further board discussion we'll vote starting with member robinson robinson hi dolby aye tennis high okay now's the fun part sorry the board will be taking a brief recess during the recess the annual meeting of the board of directors of the chica unified school financing corporation will be held in accordance with that agenda now we switch over so i'm to call to order the chico unified school district financing corporation for the february 16 2022 meeting the first item here item two is information discussion the annual financial report status update yes good evening board so the chico unified financing corp was formed to facilitate lease financing and as you're all aware this last fall the financing court did take action to secure that lease fine financing in order to purchase our oak bridge building so that has all moved in staff is very happy students are doing great out there so we do have that facility and we did do a 10-year lease financing on that to make the debt payments manageable but at the same time we wanted to pay off the building as soon as possible so that debt schedule is attached to this agenda item the annual payment is 211 000 i'm straight-lined over the 10 years just curious what rate did we get for that and over how many years 10 years 1.85 so we got less than two percent we did do a competitive bid on that good job so that's just informational if there's any other questions related to that securing that lease financing i can certainly address those i don't think so any public comment okay it is informational only so we will move on to item three this is a discussion action item 3.1 discussion action which is approval of the minutes of the annual meeting from october 6 2021.

i i second um are we ready for a vote discussion robinson eye dolby aye tennessee all right um i will adjourn this meeting of the finance corporation and i resume the general meeting of the chicken unified school district we're moving on to the next item which is items from the floor um do we have any further speaker for items from the floor looks like we have a we we went through all of the ones that have submitted speaker cards okay and so it looks like we do have some from the audience um we'll go and and so just a reminder that items from the floor we can't respond to um in this case we haven't there's it starts over so the last rules are no longer suspended we're back to our regular rules so you have three minutes um you'll get a 30-second warning and then and then you'll be next yeah yeah that's that was my point out you'll you'll you'll go ahead and speak next yes yes you are okay all right um so we'll start your three minutes and go ahead so elaine ward been attending all the meetings for a very long time and i tend to speak up regards to issues with um students that have special needs and disabilities on ieps mr gold's comment that he shared earlier with his experience with his principal at his child's elementary school is definitely something that is concerning for us parents that have to navigate the system with students that have special needs or disabilities support starts from the top and if we don't have the support on school sites from our principals it becomes a very hard process for us as parents to navigate we have to fight more for our students to be heard we as parents should not have to threaten emailing diane olson to be heard we should not have to threaten emailing dana feingold to be heard but unfortunately that's what happens for some parents parents that don't understand the process parents that feel like they don't have the option to speak out when they feel they are wronged by their child's school i have learned to become loud loud and obnoxious and i don't care what people say about me i accept it willingly openly gladly i will always continue to stand and defend my child and the needs that he just the excuse me and um his needs being met i will continue to be loud to make sure his needs are being met i am not afraid of emailing diane or dana i don't want to but i will chico unified i feel does have a problem when it comes to school site principles and not giving full support to their neurodiverse student population i've experienced it i have plenty of friends that have experienced it at their child's school sites as well this is something that needs to be discussed and addressed and really come full force at because again we as parents should not have to fight as much as we do you as school remember school board members i have received emails that people have told me that they have family members that have ieps but my question to you would be do you still have to fight like we do or do you recognize that you as a school board member have a privilege that most of us parents do not have thank you um any more public comments come on forward we can't comment no no yeah yeah we can't respond during items from the floor but you can still pose your question and let us think about okay it um thank you for letting me speak again um my name is arthur golden art golden i'm patrick's our father who patrick attends marigold elementary like i said before i proceeded to i i spoke with assistant superintendent jay merchant right here after explaining the situation he shared that he when he was the principal at junior high he disciplined children that threw carrots at lunch and hit other kids by having them pick up trash he said patrick's situation was the same as theirs i don't see how it is remotely similar he said heath is a good principal and he would not ask her to apologize i'm filing that formal complaint that i already gave to you guys and in regard to my son's discipline being disciplined denied multiple times by the principle my parental rights quoting ferpa under under not being acknowledged to be able to watch the surveillance video when it's used for a disciplined purpose it becomes an education record and the discipline and that the plate that it took that it was an accident and due to disregard my son's explanation without discussing it with the other child involved and now my son does not feel safe at school anymore okay so these documents that i presented to you earlier is a complete narrative of the events that took place the chico unified school district has the video downloaded of the events that took place my wife and i had a meeting with shawneece and ted sullivan that meeting was also recorded in view in in accordance with penal code as well and there is a copy of that in there for each one of you as well um the other child's father was here with me and he was going to speak too and he there he says the same thing on the things that he told him a complete lie it is blatant and there needs to be change and it is unacceptable there there is no room for someone like this to be an education especially a principal that is blatantly lying to parents and she got caught because i dug and continued and went through the legal process and it is all there for you it is written in detail the events that took place along with the recording of our meeting i did not want to come to have to come to you guys but i went through every step through their whole in quotes chain of command of the principal then ted sullivan the district manager then i spoke with jay the assistant superintendent at this point and is all we asked for originally was a sincere apology and you will listen to that recording which they absolutely denied even though that the video shows exactly what happened and shaunice completely lied to me and my wife and she doubled down thank you for for your comments do we have any additional items from the floor at this time hi jessica hunt again um we heard a lot about children's choices and i'm just here to say that not every family kind of feels that way my sons are very very scared about other students at their school not wearing masks and one of the fears they had was recently i had just had covid and they were so scared that they were the ones that brought it home because kids at school were not wearing their masks and i just want to thank you guys because i know you guys have gotten a lot of grief of following that mandate and just sticking to it um everybody's entitled to their opinion about it i get it but you guys are following the mandate as you should and i just wanted to thank you guys for your position on that thank you do we have any additional items from the floor okay um seeing none uh oh sorry i'm sorry back there you gotta like do jumping jacks so i can see it no no no worries i i was not planning on coming up here extremely difficult for me um the people sitting over here know exactly who i am and i did not want to get involved in this but i just want to urge you to think about that good people make mistakes people that are great at their jobs make mistakes i've made mistakes and when i make a mistake i own up to it and i apologize and i make it right and that's all that my husband and i were asking for our son so i just want you to keep that in mind thanks thank you any additional items from the floor okay so seeing none we will move on to the next agenda item which is agenda item 12 a board member request to agendize an item this is a point where we ask if any board members have topics that they would like to bring forward for consideration as future agenda items um can somebody move the secretary um erica maybe remind me of what happened when we did this before my brain i'm sad to admit what happened on that go ahead okay so originally the when we when we suspended the rules part of that was that we would revisit this item at the end just to give us the opportunity to add any additional items for things that came up during the rest of the board meeting um madam secretary can you read the first motion again please all right thank you good okay i have a request at this time this may be a closed a closed session request but i would like to follow up on this particular issue that was brought up by the parents tonight during items from the floor and and get a report out from any investigation that comes from this particular issue so once a complaint is filed it does follow a process and that process does end with a hearing by the board if the board so chooses so at this point we just need to let the process go okay and then follow-up to that is is i don't think that this is necessarily an item to agendize it's definitely a bigger thing than one agenda item but it is to address the the ongoing concerns about some special education topics and i know that we have a workshop for special education yes we do april 6th is the board workshop focused on special education so i would encourage parents that would like to participate or have things to share to come to that and um can you kind of just reiterate for the audience who may be listening to it recording or who are present how like what the uh objective of our workshops is and then how to get involved in them leading up to that workshop and and what that where that could take us like what is the reason that we have these workshops so the board has workshops so that they can look at a single item more in depth and ask questions and typically we ask for school site participation we ask for staff to participate we've had parents participate we've had students participate in our workshops but it's a singular look usually 60 to 90 minutes looking in depth at a topic the topic for april 6th this chico unified school district special education programs and budgets and supporting inclusive classroom development so that will be the topic then i do encourage anyone that would like to participate to reach out to diane olson she is the lead um on this one along with mr marchand um and who are our board oh sorry go ahead our board reps are mr lando and miss robinson yeah that was i thought i was yeah so um just for i know that that you folks are really connected to the the parent group um so if you could also help spread the word i mean we will do the best as we can from here but you know sometimes it gets lost in the fray um that i would say even a month ahead of time to start reaching out and cc the board members who are involved with that process because they will be involved in the meetings leading up to that so it was mr lando and ms robinson and then the two staff members that were just mentioned yeah the uh the role of the board liaisons for a workshop is to meet with administration and make sure that the topics that are going to be presented are what we feel parents and others including board members want to hear about so i would really appreciate it if you would contact me through my school district email and let me know specifically i've heard you tonight but more specifics if you can of what you need and and i i too have a special needs actually two of them that have been through chico unified so i can relate to some of what you're saying so please get in contact with me it would be the things that you find have either been most difficult as a parent to um where the deficits are and potentially the things that have worked best because we want to hear the good news too yes i would also suggest one of our lcap breakout nights which is march 29th i mean it's a great evening that again parents do get an opportunity to share their concerns than they have in the past and we've learned from those nights so i would please come okay i would never suggest that you were not coming i just wanted to remind you that there will be food there but i i would i would warn you all are in tune but any other parents who want to be involved in the board workshop presentation development to get in touch ahead of that because that will be way too late for the workshop um that will be the following week so a week and a half later or something if i'm doing my math right in my head so yes definitely more in advance get in touch with your board members that are the liaisons for that particular topic and you know hopefully we'll have a really meaningful workshop that night and come out with some you know potential ideas to make things better that's really what what the what those workshops are meant for and to celebrate successes but you know we can't always just pat ourselves on the back there are always ways we can improve so i really really really appreciate you always being engaged and super glad that that you know your kids have you so thank you um i don't doesn't look like we have any other items to agendize now my nose is getting stuffy i need my allergy medicine too much information no okay so um is there a motion to adjourn the meeting so moved a second all right we don't need to vote for that

okay does not look like there's any modifications is that correct okay so national trent you are on deck turn there you go we got you now but we can't hear you uh exciting uh news uh we've been working really hard at the high school with our uh our our teachers our administration thanks to superintendent tracy for all of her support who worked and christian debbie harvard uh all of our master teachers mentor teachers uh career teachers everybody who has been involved in this work uh it's a man i'm excited to share with you a lot of uh culmination for that work but also continuing we're not we're not there we have we have much more coming but i want to give you an update as far as where we are so first of all let's start off with uh with an overview as far as what does it look like to be a graduate uh you know the state of indiana uh but definitely at broadway high school so if you look at the screen and you see where is the graduation passport requirements you're going to see three different uh uh expectations regional requirements for for our high school students to graduate the first thing you want to look at is you have to meet one requirement in each of these categories uh the first category is basically in order to receive a high school diploma you have to have 40 protect honors academic honors for a general diploma uh in most cases you're going to find that most of our students are going to receive a 440 diploma some of our students receive one of the other situations so that's step one also along with step two is is they have to show learn and demonstrate employability skills so in this case uh every student has to complete some kind of project uh based learning uh service-based learning or work based marketing and then on number three uh is the post-secondary ready conferences and so basically one of these nine have to be complete uh either honors diploma uh received a certain level uh certain cup store on act or sat or aspab which is a military entrance exam but also it's not necessarily for students who are in the military but it's also the ability for students to take this to find out career interests then you have a student earns a an industry certification that meets this criteria that we call pocket three uh apprenticeship a cte concentrator uh ap dual credits uh or locally created pathways so what cte concentrator and also locally created that's where our work has been over the last couple of months so to give you kind of an overview of this um what the board is looking at right now is actually on the screen so uh we're doing work on and so what we what we're doing here at the high school is we want to give our students an experience really that goes right in line with our vision and mission statement as far as graduating schools and so we've identified actually 10 programs of study that we're currently working on uh that are cte based which is subsection number seven but we're also working on creating some global pathways as well uh actually two in particular right now i'll share both of those with you so first of all so one thing we want to do here at the high school is we want to expand on the discretion right now a lot of our students actually go to c4 in order to receive a lot of their cte section our goal is to bring some of that back that's our problem and so we're working really hard on doing this so construction is one of those areas so when you look across you can see that construction is a program of study and then we're going to look at the right-hand side you're going to see there are three courses in order to complete that program assignment so the first course is what's called a principal source in this case principles of construction poc and then the other two classes to the right of that are concentrator a and concentrator b so essentially what that means is that you can look at these as being one year or two two trimesters of each of these courses principles of construction will be two trimesters the uh construction traits one is two trimesters and the construction trades two is also two trimesters so basically taken over the course typically over three years um let's continue on let's look at engineering which is a project to delay course uh intro to engineering principles of engineering and also edd uh we're looking at also the great thing is that we can offer dual credit uh tech uh in the first two classes which is the uh intro to engineering also engineering so the students can receive which is super exciting for our students principal machining is a third part of the study across you can see where principles of precision machining is in his apprentice course and this feeds right into our ego so the course actually is machining fundamentals and also precision machining if you look down below you're going to see in parentheses where legal manufacturing one and e fashion two is basically the area where the student received conservator a constant or b as far as resources and then digital design is set up the same way its principles are just assigned and those once the students fulfill that requirement that's also feeding into actually taking digital design graphics and graphic design and planning let's continue so then uh as we continue on we're going to expand our business program which we're super excited about this as well uh we're looking at offering two different programs of study within business which is business administration and also marketing sales we've hired a new teacher here at the high school miss amy troll and amy is normally has experience in the field but also she has experience teaching these courses to degree where she can teach student service out here as well which we're super excited about again if you look across principles of business management lead into both of these programs of setting so once a student takes principles of business which industrial credit that feeds into the management piece or the marketplace as far as entrepreneurship this is going to be uh the spanish as well right now being offered principles of entrepreneurship but we're going to expand this and expand our curriculum to make it even better which leads into new venture development and also small business operations this is really solid for our community since brown county and nashville it just thrives in the area of entrepreneurship uh biomedical science mr fall we have principles applying that human body systems medical interventions and biomedical interventions is uh that proper study which is already in place and took place for several years uh your science authority is already a part of the study we're currently offering as well with mr weixman uh christmas community computing i'm [Music] at the career resource center the education center uh that gives us an opportunity allowing our students to go across the parking lot to be able to join uh that program where our kids are going to be able to work a little tough teacher with students to be able to learn you know early childhood education also learning early childhood as far as curriculum and then also guidance and all three of those courses are also fuel credit through hypotenuse so those are the two courses of typical setting we're looking at through the cte format but there's also two other pathways that we'll continue to work on development which is the civic arts which is a local uh pathway uh prairie park in these schools has created that pathway and what we're working on is is either jumping on board with that pathway yeah so what that means is basically in order to create your own [Music] one of those things where we're working on creating the the uh the list of forces you take in order to fulfill that pathway so to give an example uh one thing that that a fulfills car's pathway is students who are only in the beginning students will acquire students who want to see her uh some of those areas that's a way for those students to have interest in band choir any kind of music and we're super excited about that because that really gives our students who arrive in those those areas an opportunity for you to uh the hospitality tourism which is also a local pathway um this is going to be great for our community as well because if bart's uh sister actually is key leaders in that area and so we're gonna try to create a relationship with them uh to be able to work in the area of tourism is really the the internships thing i hospitality and the maturity partners is the work that we are working with right now personally has been instrumental in making those connections for us um we're looking at uh you know mobile businesses we're looking at the music center um we're looking at the playhouse being able to do this connection with those types of community partners for our students to receive foods and those are two global pathways [Music] but as of right now those are the twelve of them this time was that the focus for civil march was the hospitality i would say primarily the civic artists but in that case right there the microphone tourism can go along with that but i would say that as far as the the music's parent the playhouse i would say that would be the moral lines by the pacific artists we're looking at the also um so but uh again that's some of the work that we're doing right now um just to kind of point out a few quick things i'm not getting the weeds too much but these are the new courses that we're going to be offering through all the programs of study i've already pointed out uh it's really kind of hard to see you can kind of see which is the construction trades one construction trades to those are blue courses that we're looking at offering and then also in red you can see that the the four portables the top right hand corner which is the management and marketing and also the the concentrator a and b under the entrepreneurship all six of those will be new courses that we're looking at well so my question about that was staff so i it looks like yeah but still to actually fulfill three of these pathways here at the top um i assume it's the which is the the school board program and really nice program under under great uh mars leadership okay so that frees up maybe to be david that's nice it's based on work program so the student is working within the community and receiving that experience what they can do is a job in the community uh they they can usually take a couple periods every day and work with communities so that's something that on that amy is currently operating under and helped us freak her out so she could be able to teach me some new courses um uh to provide dual certification for our kids too which is really exciting yeah in the reading of that that course is a lot of flexibility through our schedule because the challenge we're going to have in high school is being able to offer all this sketch but you know we have plans for that and actually the early childhood pathway gives us a lot of flexibility to do that because that's going to be an all-day program and so there's not going to be a limit necessarily for these students to go across the custody of the parking lot to be able to work with with this procedure and students which is exciting and they're currently going to columbus with that yes right so it's part of the goal [Music] those types of areas uh students who want to go to cosmetology those are so students are going to be employed to succeed for our goal is to try to bring school students back to be able to offer the cctv courses and quite honestly what it does is funding for our schools thank you do with the appointment uh middle school fifth grade teacher that was kyle the day um any discussion welcome carol yes yes vicky yes stephanie yes thank you steve motion carries and that's the superintendence report good evening um tonight i want to be able to provide an update on our cova data for brown county schools since our last meeting february 10th 2022 we have only had two positive cases one staff and one student so that data is is trending in a very positive um direction for us so we're excited about that across the entire district we only are um we're only counting 28 of um any of our building population across the entire district that are even showing um symptomatic so those percentages are very very low today um we were able to release a statement about the new indiana department of health guidelines that were released publicly today those guidelines state that public schools are not required to continue to conduct contact tracing in quarantine that's left up to to the local school districts to make those decisions um that will go into effect i believe the um 22nd and um it also anything that's connected with the current governor's executive orders so brown county schools has made the decision to have masks optional for staff and students and that will begin effective tomorrow i just want to reiterate that it is optional in any kiddo that would like to to have a mask and wear a mask we will support that and if any kiddo needs a mask we have lots of masks that we can provide kiddos too so if you need anything please just let your building principle your teachers or myself know and we will do everything we can i want to thank everybody for the continued support through the pandemic also earlier today we sent out the following press release dear students families and staff earlier this week a letter unauthorized by brown county schools was released to elementary school families it was advising our students and parents that they could opt out of certain instruction regarding black history month we want to be very clear our district does not permit students to opt out of history lessons including ones based on historical injustices i want to personally apologize for confusion that was caused by this letter and i want to be able to offer assurances that brown county schools is absolutely committed to providing an inclusive environment for all of our students and all of our families we will learn from this incident and it is an opportunity for us to continue to improve our communication with our families and again i just want to thank everybody for their continued support one last update we are operating on a two-hour delay for tomorrow due to flooding and icy road conditions so stay tuned in the morning if we need to make further changes but that message went out right before a board meeting so be safe thank you it does not change that ask wearing on the buses is that not correct thank you for that clarification yes the the school buses that is a federal law um that that has not changed so anybody that is on a school bus is still required to wear those masks and we will still have masks for the buses um and on the buses for any kiddo that that needs them there too thank you next i need a motion for claims as well yes second yes

gonna go ahead and introduce um our vision right we talked about when i first started the process for today and the agenda for today and i said that the most important piece is really about the vision and about looking forward and the lens that we're going to be seeing our conversations through and so it gives me great honor to introduce our superintendent mr michael matsuda who really has led the charge in the way for everything that we've been doing in our district in the last five to seven years it has put our district on the map as many of you know not only within the county the county of orange but also across the state of california and now even the nation so let's give mr massoud a round of applause welcome in thank you and congratulations michael that was awesome looking forward to seeing you back next year uh one person that won't be back next year but i'm sure will be watching from home and maybe from hawaii or wherever he is is our own mr manuel colon who's announced his retirement let's give it up for our chief academic officer on walk alone there's so many people to credit for the success of our owl cap and mr colon you are uh this is part of your vision too and what you've built uh in terms of the community engagement you guys realize that we have been acknowledged and recognized by the state of california for our alcap process truly it meets or exceeds what was envisioned by governor jerry brown when he wanted to really make local control the front and center of school reform and the ability of bringing in the students and the parents and community members to all i have a say and how we spend our precious dollars and because so much is writing on the future of our kids so i really want to thank all of you for participating and again i know we put a shout out to our friends at asta our teachers union uh you know i uh they fed us right because it all starts with uh the the most basic things right we've discovered that uh in our challenge with cobit so it has exposed many inequities in society across this country and uh we have our own inequities in this district and across anaheim but i'm so very proud that we have uh so many things in place starting with uh many of our social workers and our mental health processes and our priorities that we built prior to cobit hitting us because you parents knew that there were there was a disconnect between schools and education and that many of our young kids were already beginning to suffer in isolation and anxiety depression and uh we were very ahead of the curve in terms of prioritizing mental health early on even before covet hit so i want to start with our vision because it all starts with that in terms of whether we are aligned and the vision is often called there's three parts to this the it the we and the i the it is the vision to create it's very simple to create a better world through the unlimited you it's simple but it's complex because what does that really mean it doesn't say to increase test scores or have a high sats it's to create a better world for all of us this generation is inheriting many many challenges from global warming to food insecurity to the prospect of maybe war right energy so many challenges facing this young generation this country has led the world in innovation and we intend at anaheim we intend to lead education and lead the world forward for you will create a better world and so that's the it the we is all of us whether we believe this or not whether we are united in this mission and then it ends with the i each of you individually when we talk about our vision and our mission is that a fit for you because we live in an age where kids can go to almost any school they want to any district they want to and ours unlike many of our neighbors we're not about just test scores we are about creating better americans better citizens better parents better spouses better neighbors people who are committed to what our founders try to create in this great american experience we are committed to democracy we are committed to you having a voice that's what this is about you having a voice so the uh the core values seven of them and again i want you to think about is this the i this is who you are do you believe in this number one we believe in and model the five c's collaboration creativity critical thinking communication and compassion right those are not sat scores those are those are skills are going to help you navigate life help you navigate relationships help you navigate the future number two we believe that education must work for students and not the other way around i want you to think about that does education work for you or do you work for education when i first came here almost eight years ago i asked the seniors who were headed to ivy league or uc and i asked them point blank this is eight years ago does education work for you or do you work for education what do you think they said those students we work for education because back then we were traditional pushing on test scores and our many of our top kids were already burnt out even though they were headed to great universities they felt like this is education's the factory something done to us it's not something that works for you okay the next one is in an asset based instructional approach focused on our community's strengths and in nurturing everyone's potential i would argue that this is an assets-based approach to education to really create believing in you the community the students the parents the teachers everybody here is an asset not a deficit too many other districts they treat our young people and our parents like deficits that you're way behind you've got all these problems not a uhsd because we believe in every single one of you in your potential and we believe in your parents taking the time to be part of this we value that number four we believe in moving the needle toward equity and justice you know this country is divided and we need to really promote and understand what that means equity and justice it's not that everybody and i've learned we adults are learned from you kids from savannah when you guys rebranded the rebel recently to anaheim high school rebranding the colonists not everybody is going to agree on these tough issues but you kids did not hate each other for disagreeing as many adults there's so much hatred out there it's destroying the fabric of this country we believe in you and we want to learn from you the love that you bring to the table it's not about agreeing on everything it's about respecting each other from whatever culture or background that you have we learn to respect each other hopefully love each other five we believe that our vision mission and core values are delivered primarily through instruction everything that we're saying here doesn't mean anything if you're not experiencing that in the classroom that is so important much more important than just a grade and that's why we are shifting to these capstones the capstone is something that you know you're going to look back at your six years in ausd and say hey i actually learned something you know this this grade you know i my parents got split up and so i went into depression and my grades weren't so high but i know where i'm headed because of the pledge i can go to the community college and i can rebuild myself i can transfer through and get into the uc still that's what we want we want you to have a plan when you graduate this district your education will never end you know and you have the skills and the confidence to go in and out you're not going to beat yourself up when life happens and bad things happen you're going to grow you're going to become more resilient number six we believe in systems not silence silos is when everybody's like not talking to each other right we we believe in systems that it's so integrated number seven we believe that public schools should enhance and strengthen democracy through cultivation of student voice and problem solving this is an example of student voice parent voice and problem solving this is an example of democracy where community comes together and you have a voice in how we spend our money this district has 380 million dollars a lot of it is in the past you know the district decided how that money was spent now you have a voice and that truly is democracy and action so this all comes together with a new framework that we call the career preparedness systems framework there's like three circles to that the circle on the low and the student you notice is in the middle circle on the lower left is 21st century skills that's another way of saying those are the five c's we're going to deliver the five c's to you guys circle on the right is technical skills those are the dual credit you guys are beginning to get a lot of dual credit opportunities at fullerton college cypress college they come right to your high schools our district leads orange county with students who are graduating with enough dual credit and many ap credit to almost knock a year off college and that's why our kids are really succeeding once they go to college but i would argue the third circle that top one is the most important that's the development of student voice and purpose because what difference does it make if you graduate a 4.0 4.5 valedictorian if you don't know where you're going eight years ago when i came to become superintendent when i asked those students this you know the school worked for you or do you work for the schools many of them said no we we feel like this is a factory some of them were going to the top schools and i asked what what are you going to do some of them want to be doctors i said why do you want to be doctors because they make a lot of money or because my parents told me to be a doctor but other than that i don't know what what they do that's a recipe for unhappiness already i could tell some of these kids were unhappy we want you to find your purpose mlk said every job has dignity and if you love what you're doing it doesn't matter we get paid it took me a long time to discover my calling wasn't until i was 34 before i became a teacher and i remember my first year at orangeview junior high and feeling wow they paid me for this i love being the surrogate father right i could not believe that i had discovered my calling as a teacher fairly late in life too but i was so happy every day and that's what we want for all of you to find your calling your purpose and your passion and what and we're going to help you get there no matter where it is over the past several years many americans have experienced economic turmoil and unemployment families and communities are suffering many of the jobs that disappear [Applause] well okay this is a quiz i just i just cheated but um so of the five c's which one do you think is the most important creativity communication collaboration well you guessed them all right so who says uh creativity raise your hand all right who says uh collaboration raise your hand who says critical thinking raise your hand who says communication raise your hand who says compassion raise your hand well i would argue they're all important but i would argue that uh compassion is probably the most important and this little we call this a tape kindness scale we're debuting it tonight it's going to be available at all the school sites but um tom tate who was former mayor who has been a big partner of aim and uh who's just been amazing still a partner in his retirement as well he's the one who ran on a campaign of kindness for the city of anaheim we call that compassion and it was actually the students you students who enlightened us on why the fifth seat because it used to just be four seats but some of the students and a conversation they had with mayor tate they said you know what uh the nazis were pretty efficient they were pretty good at the four seats they didn't have the fifth c of kindness or compassion so we both we we're going oh my gosh you're right you know there's something missing here so we decided to add the fifth c we call it compassion or character and if you think about that simple graph there um we want all of our kids from anaheim to end up in the quadrant what quadrant do you think we want them to end up in because if if you look at that graph if you if you have a lot of four c's that means to the right you go you and if you have a lot of compassion you go up so which quadrant does that leave hey so we want our kids to be living in quadrant a where that would be like martin luther king right very compassionate leader but very uh strong in the four c's so we don't want quad quadrant d that would be you know the young adolf hitler out there right so uh that's uh that's really a simple way to look at why the uh the fifth c compassion and kindness is probably the most important you know and we need that more than ever so i'm really proud of our board for supporting continuously supporting our arts our vapa programs are second to none i know people from outside the district who've seen our bands perform we did they just marched in the tech parade and in the black history month parade and people from outside anaheim are blown away by the quality of our vapa programs just amazing amazing work uh i want to put a shout out quickly to brian belski where are you brian bowski our director of zappos and i would argue i would argue that this uh pandemic um is going to ha is creating a generation of very creative young people who want to express themselves through the arts through music through painting drawing spoken word all different types of ways because that's where the healing is the human expression of emotion through the arts the district is committed more than ever to our athletic programs wanted to uh just put a quick shout out there to our lo lora high football champions uh mr gary brown again i don't know if mitch olsen is mitch olsen in the house mitch is probably out i know tonight's probably cif too he's probably out there so we have just amazing amazing uh athletics across the district and our board has been unflinching and supporting our athletic programs in our bapa so we're very grateful to our board for their support as well but we have also been a leader in these cutting edge areas we are the first district in the united states to partner with a little mom paul company called google so we currently have about 800 kids taking the google certificates about 150 of them will probably get the certificates so we started a little bit late it's no one's fault but it just took a while for all the attorneys to get together and make sure we protected our students in this partnership but many of our kids were going to be able to graduate high school in the coming years with at least one google certificate and i'll tell you how important that is google has negotiated with 150 of the fortune 1000 companies across america to take a google certificate which you can get in six months to a year take that over a bachelor's degree in computer science now think about what that's going to do to the four-year institutions if they don't start changing you know because college is very expensive we're in anaheim are still committed to every kid going to college because still that is the pathway but companies like google are saying because college is so expensive and it takes so long why not offer these certificates there's about a hundred thousand young americans not in high school but you know these are like 20 something 30 something young americans who are retraining themselves rather than go back to college to get a school certificate getting a and getting a good job so we're the first district to offer that opportunity across the district again i want to put a shout out to our teachers who were the first ones in america to actually take the class themselves and then integrate it into their own classes so our kids can have that opportunity so round of applause for our teachers another big first we are the first to offer an agroscience community center this is a fancy word for a community farm but it's more than a farm there's something really really special in terms of the dealing and and transforming our neighborhoods from food deserts to food and nutrition and health care oasis and we have teachers from five sites that are working across the curriculum bringing in a lot of this awareness into the classrooms so our kids can help transform our neighborhoods a short video here i'm going to show [Music] hi my name is first of its kind in the country designed to be an urban agri-science laboratory in effect an urban farm which is going to transform the community from a food desert to a food and health care oasis this project is a district initiative involving in year one at least five to six schools and teachers across the curriculum from science to english to health to math and we're going to have kids learn all about the basics of a food desert through data analytics through census data and developing sort of the baseline of the community and comparing that over time in terms of childhood obesity diabetes heart disease and then have them also bring in qualitative data and surveys based on what they see out of the neighborhoods and then start asking questions about how this has happened what's going on what policies have led to this like i said a very transformative project that's going to change the landscape of food deserts not just in anaheim but perhaps across this country where students and community members [Music] [Applause] ahrc is also leading the country and developing a brand new artificial intelligence pathway at kennedy high school in partnership with uc irvine our partnership with groups like the united stypers college and uh i think north orange county rlp all of our partners are involved with this and uh we had a big summit at the hilton in anaheim and we had 5000 people watching us from across the world i think there were like three or four other countries involved too so more to come on this artificial intelligence is going to impact every single content area and we are leading in artificial intelligence so this last one this one is on the biotech program that we're setting up at anaheim high school biotech is another cutting edge area that anaheim is leading our biotech pathway is at anaheim high school in partnership with fullerton college and uc irvine medicine even things like insulin and various proteins we also use biotechnology in agriculture and helping us develop food that has the correct nutrients in it so that we can create a much healthier food product so at anaheim high school here our biotech 102 will prepare students for a career in biotech they will be getting hands-on experience using lab equipment that they would use in industry they'll also be focusing on the five c's so we'll be working with learning how to have patients while doing things like gel electrophoresis learning how to work as a team learning how you can explore your careers things like bio ethics and how that plays into the jobs and the market that is going to be so very big and influential in biotech so they're getting a really hands-on feel for what it's like to work in a lab students will be on the cutting edge of some of the biggest jobs that are going to start showing up in industry we're already seeing especially with the pandemic detroit finance poll for public health new research and pharmaceuticals new research and vaccines and health so students will really be engaged in the next cutting edge of jobs and all kinds of fields that are going to be popping up with biotechnology i heard it was a new class here in anaheim high school and they called my interest that i have the opportunity to learn a little more about medicine and technology and how it can help our everyday life we started really looking at the vertical alignment and recognizing that if we want kids to really enjoy the truth of science got started so we um went out to a showcase and we talked to elementary school students and it was fascinating to see how excited they got when they were able to micropipette students really need to be exposed and have an idea you know what do i want to do when i grow up and science is such an exciting field that they can go into especially biotech these are very specific jobs and different careers they can do so to get some first-hand knowledge it was really fun to work with colleagues we had a lot of students from fullerton some techs helping us out students will be coming in from the variety of anaheim city elementary but the junior highs that are going to be promoting and supporting the biotechnology program start with sycamore junior high i got to buy technology in the eighth grade uh thanks to my students so in her class we did a lot of laughs that mimic kind of what scientists do on a daily basis in labs and when we were doing them i really enjoyed it and i knew that that's kind of something that i wanted to continue doing so i signed up for the class here at life so middle school we start our career explorations they're going to start exploring the pathways and all the different jobs that are available in biotech they also in the junior high will be learning some of the mainstays the central dogma if they can start learning that or in junior high once they come into the high school level then we can really start digging into the technical components of biotechnology there's four different certificates they can get once they've grown through the biotechnology pathway that's sick or more even i would totally recommend this class because it's a great way to get experience and especially if you're interested in the medical field if you like to do medicine if you like to do dissection if you like the human anatomy and stuff like that then i would consider joining it because it's actually really fun i was trying my person to try it out at least if they're not sure if they like science or not we do a lot of labs we also learn about modern technology and how it's applied in the real world there are also a lot of career options that they could apply for based on the experience they gave in the class after the last semester stranded i started thinking what are my options what am i going to do in college [Music] we really start preparing for that career we start working with fullerton college we have a dual enrollment with them so students can come right about out of our classes very well prepared to go into fullerton college work in a biotech lab they'll feel comfortable using the equipment they will have a lot of great skills working in the lab and just have a really good background on everything that they can do with biotech and our great programs and uh right there we want to highlight some of our teachers our leading the state of california on the left is dr jeff kim from south and junior high and cba he is the teacher of the year in civics so please give him a big round of applause next we have julian real who is the national teacher of the year uh she was awarded a big check from the carlson family foundation and she is a leader in innovation and and business julian she and she's in the house julianne ray stand up he's also a uva teacher and just pretty i mean these are just people that uh represent you know just this much of our great teachers across the district that are working hard and making great things happen for our kids i wanted to end with this slide this is probably the big big slide because people say well you're doing the five c's but what about all your traditional markers and for us uci is you know that's where we're trying to prepare kids for to get into a tough school like uc irvine and they actually came back to us and said our anaheim kids are outperforming every district across orange county both in gpa and in persistence that means uh retention rates so the average of retention rate at uc irvine is 86 and our kids are averaging 95 to 99 across the board and again i mean we are we're out performing you think about all these other districts you know newport and south you know irvine and capoh we are outperforming all of them and the reason why there are two reasons one our kids are coming in with a sense of purpose trying to create that better world and the five c's so that i want to thank all of you for where we are and where we're going thank you very much thank you mr matsuda for setting the vision um which we will all follow as we move forward in this process and so he's given us a lot to think about um he's given us a lot to know and to be inspired by and to be excited about in terms of ensuring that these are the opportunities that we will maintain in our district so it's going to be our responsibility collectively to ensure that that these things are embedded into our conversations in the next few days another vision that we wanted to share with you is our master plan as you know we've been working with uh our current bond and seeing some amazing things happening across our district and so i want to acknowledge uh patty neely our executive director of facilities for the great work she has done many of our schools so let's give her a round of applause for the great work i know you've seen the great buildings at dale junior high school and at many of our schools but we know we have a lot more to do our master plan still has a lot to be developed and so with that i'm going to go ahead and bring up patty newly who introduced pla who will talk us through what is that master plan look like and and what again part of the big revision of where we're headed in terms of anaheim union high school district patty thank you manuel uh good evening my name is patty nealy i'm executive director of facilities maintenance and operations and tonight i have the pleasure of introducing lpa it's an architectural firm that was hired by our board of trustees to lead the way as far as facilitating and leading the process of updating our facilities master plan today from lpa we have lindsey hayward and jomei liao and i'm going to call them up pretty soon so they're gonna be talking to us about the process that we followed it's a process that we started seven months seven months ago in november it's going to uh finish up in may and it's going to be adopted as a document a master plan an official master plan by the board in june of 2022 lpa will be discussing talking to us about what a master plan is uh what and why we need an update and um also they're going to be talking about uh the process that we're following some of the meetings that we have had and meetings that we will be having in the future uh cost estimating and why we're doing that and also just at the end just showcasing some of the good work that we've done so far so with that being said i'm going to introduce lindsay first or joe may uh take it away thank you very much thank you patty and um good evening everyone um it's great to see so many so many attendees and so much passion in this room so it's quite uh very inspiring actually and it's great um mr mitsuha has introduced all of the great programs that you guys are already already doing at the district and here here we're just um we are assisting a district in updating their facilities master plan to make sure that the facilities are also in line with some of these programs that are up and coming and and evolving and also matching up with making sure that we're providing facilities that meet the students and the staff needs um okay all right so usually i don't know we can just kind of skip that um i just want to start off with a quick ice breaker i mean it's kind of hard to follow up with the rock paper scissors activity but um if there is a qr code that you can scan and maybe we can kind of just get a poll on as more travel begins to occur what are your most looking forward to me are you guys able to scan it zoom in on your phone she says [Music] all right so enjoying a change of scenery and visiting family i know that's what i want to do too all right so the text is a little bit small but just in general you know why a master plan um actually the district embarked on a very comprehensive uh facilities master plan about like almost 10 years ago in 2013 where we really took a look at a deep dive and took a look at where the just where the facilities were at at that time and the conditions of them and um and also talked a lot about their vision and and um how they wanted to see their just uh their facilities evolve um in the next 10 15 20 years right um but facilities mastermind is like a road map for the district right and in terms of when when money comes in then you have a a plan on what you're going to do next and why we need to update it because first of all the california department of education cd recommends an update um three to five years because visions change right and people change and also your needs change and so it's good to um update so you know during the process what we're going to be doing is defining the need planning that vision you know we're meeting with a lot of different groups a lot of stakeholders some of you might also be involved in some of these uh in these stakeholder engagement sessions and defining that planning and vision and then and then finally um implementation so some of the components of the facilities master plan like i had mentioned where we're going to do some facilities condition assessment take a look at where you're at now some of the great work done has building on that great work that you've already done to date and also seeing where that vision is and where we need to still go education assessment and and standards we'll be again re-looking at some of the vision and what's in that and updating that and obviously overlaying that onto your school sites and um making the updates and changes to those plans so a lot of the stakeholder engagement is going to be happening throughout this process in the next couple months you know your district so i'm not going to go through too many of those you know you're splitting 28 000 students and again like i mentioned we had 2013 facilities master plan and then measure h cast and a lot of that a lot of that funding has been um you you've seen that work on a lot of your school sites already but obviously there is still a lot of work that needs to be done facilities are old and work needs to be done some of that good work done to date i mean you guys have been seeing it some of the transformations of some of the school sites um you know a lot of the aquatic centers that have have been built in terms of in a high school cypress high school beautiful facilities state of the art right um as well as you know some of the site improvements in terms of parking and drop off enhancing those and increasing the safety and all those those school sites as well as redefining the entry and and making a statement and and and improving the curb appeal a lot of our school sites um improving the a lot of quad work and site work that has been done parking lot work you've seen as well as some of the parking and drop off as you can see at catella high school ball junior high school some of the lunch shelter facilities so a lot of great work that have been a lot of modernization in terms of locker rooms and gymnasiums libraries some of the classrooms these are awesome spaces for students to collaborate and learn and and things that um that weren't at the um at the older older school sites um transformation at uh like patty had mentioned at oxford academy as well as dale junior high schools you know rebuilding of almost like a a good portion of those campuses with new facilities so you're seeing your bond dollars to work and transformation of all of these school sites okay our next question here do you have any connection to any of school site we just want to get a gauge of like what who is represented today and in terms of um tonight's attendance yeah feel free to walk up and scan the coda you know it's like a little bit small i know we should have put it like giant right [Music] oh okay just pick one yep no worries all right so we're getting a pretty good representation from a lot of groups here um which is fantastic to see in terms of the turnout tonight so thank you so much for being here and for those who are at home watching online oops do i need to go back i'm sorry here qr code it up and there's one more of these at the very end if you want to keep your phone a little handy um and that one's a little bit more of a written response so you can even leave the window open and do it later because i know we're trying to move along here at a bit of a fast clip so in terms of where we are in the fmp process currently you'll see that red dash line down the middle of the screen which really implies that we are sort of are midway through the process the beginning of the process really takes a lot of time to understand where things are at today we do a lot of research data collection understand and meet with a lot of focus groups at the district level to understand those types of things many of you in the room may have taken a recent survey and we've had parent and student surveys out we've had teacher surveys out online so we're collating all of those results currently to understand what the needs are from each vantage point to understand how that may affect the master plan moving forward right in the middle we're here today so we've kind of gone through the research phase up front the analysis phase was next we're currently rapidly drawing master plan diagrams for every single site in the district we've always found that it helps to take all that information apply that to a site diagram and map to come up with a proposal that we then get a lot of feedback on to course correct it's much harder when you start with a blank page and kind of think what if and so a lot of what superintendent matsuda talked about in the beginning in terms of cte programs and a lot of the things the robust programs that your district is working towards and doing currently and such exciting things we want the facilities to support those and match those in a much better way than they might today so the master plan process is taking a lot of that into account um i should say sorry moving forward what's left so we'll be doing all of those diagrams we have the opportunity to have a couple community forums coming up which you are all welcome to attend those dates will be at the end of the presentation and that will be the first time we do the big reveal of these draft master plans for you all to look at and comment on as patty said from there we will take those plans back get all the comments revise them and then we will put a cost so that the district has an understanding of how much what might be in the future um costs so that they can plan ahead and think about how funding sources may be applied to that we will be presenting to the board for the first time in may they've been a part of this process and been updated throughout but that will be one of the larger presentations to them in a workshop format and then with the hope for adoption in june so what do these diagrams look like these are a smattering of what they can look like relative to how we represent the potential work so these diagrams will show anything from what might be modernized to what might be kind of shifted around what might be built new you'll see some of the diagrams have a lot of white that stands out as new construction um in terms of really understanding how many students attend each school and will attend in the future from the side demographics and then applying that to the site as well as all the program components that we want to understand and how that starts to lay out onto a campus diagram from there we go into a pretty robust and detailed cost estimating process and that's really so that we can start to analyze different components of um the master plan and so it's not just sort of one big lump sum number of this is what it takes to accomplish this vision we know that it needs to be bitten off in chunks much as you've seen the measure age dollars applied to school sites it does come in phases it comes in increments and so we want to make that a palatable means to be able to kind of understand what can be built and for how much money so with that um many of the components that come into this is really actually hearing from all of you as doctor as uh superintendent matsuda had said your voice matters it very much matters in this process too throughout this process we are asking stakeholders for their input for their prioritization what you think are the most critical things moving forward of if the district has a bunch of money tomorrow what are the critical needs that need to be addressed first and so these are the type of um prioritizations and stakeholder priority prioritized scopes that we would be then taking to the board to help them understand what all of you are thinking in terms of what the next step should be for the district as far as their facilities go so this is an example from another district we've worked with in terms of how we start to summarize that so as we ask teachers and staff through surveys as we've asked the students through surveys as we reach out to the principals we work with school site committees we're asking each of those groups at every turn what their top three priorities are and we want to see if there's alignment if there's alignment of things across all of these different groups i mean it's phenomenal and i'm always amazed how often there is alignment because the needs really do tend to surface themselves pretty quickly but all of these we come up with in order to understand if there's any commonalities and we take all this information in this type of format to the board for them to understand what the stakeholders are saying and from there we really do try to understand sort of how to fund this so if you think about in the past your district passed measure h that would be a bond at the top maybe whether the district has any state eligibility for projects available we really do look at um all possible we try to uncover every rock in terms of where we might be able to find money to be able to further on the development of each of the schools in the district and so we come up with a total potential funding and then ultimately because we don't know when those projects will be implemented over time we only take a portion of that two-thirds of that to assign to projects so that you make sure the first project you start with you're able to secure and still build the last one and things like escalation which in today's economy and everything with supply issues that are going on today we want to be able to promise the first and promise the last and so we always reserve a little bit off the top of what can be promised to be able to make sure that that can be accomplished so in some of our focus group conversations to date we've had some really great themes come out of that and this was spoken about earlier as well so it's exciting to see the theme kind of carry through but really this district is very concerned and wants to make a concerted effort to have facilities that support students families and the community and that that happens at every school site so from that standpoint as a part of the master plan diagrams we'll be making sure that there's space for a student wellness center on campus and that that houses anything from psychologist speech to social workers things of that nature with small group space to be able to meet with students a college and career center at the pledge center a family resource center and a community school resource center so really trying to get every tier from student to family to community as a basis for each campus in the district similarly as we talked about a lot earlier the cte exclusive pathway specialization wanting to make sure there are spaces on each campus to support the wonderful programs you have really taking a hard look at flexible libraries maybe more thinking of them as student union and library spaces when you think of kind of that next step to collegiate and having them be a little bit more of the time now excuse me the 21st century and beyond in terms of having space for communication collaboration all of those things that students desire and then the need for proper science labs we have walked every site in the district so we've seen a lot of this firsthand but wanting to make sure that all of those are up to up to snuff and planning for the future and then need need for proper vapa support spaces so we've heard nothing but great things about all the programs that you have in the district but again we want to make sure that the support spaces for those great programs are there and then parody among athletic support spaces for girls and boys we are looking at that um in a concurrent study and then field houses to support athletic programs so those were some of the top themes not all that was talked about but those were some of the top themes and so with that in a means to try to be efficient did you have something patty yeah i think uh q a during our next session perfect okay so we're going to leave q a for a little bit but if you just want to scan this qr code if you have some thoughts you want to share and you didn't participate in the survey process this is more of an open-ended question so you may not want to type right now but if you leave it open on your phone you're welcome to share your thoughts we would love to hear from all of you in terms of how you will define success for this master plan update and the more input we get we've always found that the plans get better because we have that much more stakeholder engagement and stakeholder input and lastly what are the most critical items to address so with that we will be emailing you the qr codes directly so that way you can follow it up after okay so we will email these to you and you can provide more input that way and my apologies that cva and polaris were not on the um representation piece because i understand there's a lot of you here tonight so we will make sure to make make those updates in the future so next steps for us if you are interested in this process and want to hear more or want to specifically see what the future of or have a say in the future of your school site we are actually having two community forums one for the west side schools on and this will be advertised on the district website as well but on monday the 28th at the cypress community center in the evening we will be having a brief presentation about the process which you kind of have a heads up with tonight but then the second half of the meeting will really be the unveiling of the math the draft plans um and we'll be all walking around the room and answering questions and wanting to hear feedback and input relative to what you think of that draft plan and what changes should be made to make it even better and then similarly the following monday on the 7th for the east side schools here in this room we'll be doing the same thing for the east side schools so if any of you can attend we look forward to seeing you there and that's it i'll skip this because of time [Applause] [Music] well we want to thank patty and the team from lpa for sharing the great work and the exciting work that's to come i i think that our stakeholders really are are seeing the vision and seeing all of this come come together paddy will be part of the first group so group number one so if you're in that group this conversation will continue because we want to make sure as they were stating that our facilities match the amazing programs that we have in our district i think all of you would agree that that's what we want to happen we're gonna take just a one second stretch break so if you can those that you say just stand up stretch and then come back down ah all right take a quick stretch break all right go ahead and sit back down we wanted to make sure now we know we know that we are doing a lot of the work today but just know that after today's meeting you will be doing all of the work so i think that's going to be important for us to know that but it's important for us to set the stage it's important for us to set the context it's important for us to really provide the vision of the process i also uh didn't get a chance to acknowledge somebody that also is part of cabinet that has been instrumental in a lot of the videos that you saw that you saw in in in both the presentations that you see and it's always behind the scenes but it's important to acknowledge the great work that our pio our public information officer john bautista does so let's acknowledge john [Applause] thank you john [Music] and he is also the one that's doing the live stream uh for our our our community partners that are that are that are seeing us online with that we're going to take you through the process and again as we always share we're doing it and many of you say mano you're never going to do this we always start on time and in on time so that is our model in lcap start on time and end on time so in the next 10 minutes you will hear about just the overview of the process we know that it's going to be a fast overview um but all of you should have picked up the elf cap booklet everything that we're going to cover in the next 10 minutes it's in the booklet you don't have to take it out right now but just make sure that you have it as you move on and you can go ahead and review it before the next meeting but let's take you through the process so as mr matuta said we're talking about a new funding formula that was enacted in 2013 by governor brown the legislature in california to say that the funding that the california state gives to schools has to be different we no longer can give it to the schools in pieces and expect the schools to do it the way we direct them to do so the state really formulated this concept that you're seeing in real time today that it's really about us it's really about who we are and what we believe and what our needs are that we can determine how best to spend the money so that is the process that was uh that was enacted in 2013 and when you see the the figures this is how the money is divided the entire states gets money for every student that attends our schools in addition to that the schools the districts are given money depending on the grade level elementary school kids get a certain amount middle school kids get a certain amount and high school kids get a certain amount okay in addition to that districts also get money for students who are part of certain student groups and they are our low-income students those that have or have completed a free reduced lunch application and have been approved that's the low income population and we also have our english learners and we have our foster youth those are the three student groups that our district gets additional funding for when we have conversations in our groups we're going to be looking through the lens of these three groups because we get a lot of money to spend to ensure that all students are successful especially the students that are struggling the most which in many cases is these three groups the state requires us as a process to embed eight state priorities so there's eight state priorities so always remember that as you are going through the process and in your groups you are going to be divided based on these eight state priorities and when you see the document you have to see these eight state priorities embedded in there so the eight state priorities are organized into three buckets or into three groups one is student conditions for learning okay that's one bucket and in that bucket you have three state priorities priority one priority two and priority seven the second bucket is pupil outcomes how are we ensuring that what we are doing is succeeding so we need to look at it from that lens so in that bucket we have two state priorities four and eight and then the third bucket is engagement okay and engagement comes in different forms it's as simple as our students coming to school okay are students feeling safe are students engaged do they feel positive are families do they feel welcome do they feel engaged do they feel a part of our schools so that engagement bucket has three state priorities priority three priority five and priority six so the lcap we talked about lcff which is the the the funding formula right so within the funding formula the districts are asked to develop an lcap or a local control accountability plan okay that is the way that we are now giving back to the state um as to what it is that we're doing to ensure that we are spending our money in the best way possible possible to ensure that our students are being successful so within the lcap development which is why we're here it is a three-year plan so even though it's a three-year plan and this year is the first year of the three-year plan so even though it's a three-year plan every year we continue to revise it we continue to see the data and see is it working is it not working what do we need to adjust what do we need to address it's telling the story of the anaheim union high school district mr matsuda set the vision that vision now is the story through our discussions through our process how are we going to spend the money how are we going to prioritize the money to ensure that that vision becomes a reality okay and the planning and the discussion and the engagement is what we are demonstrating here today the organization of the plan um is the number one thing that the state says is you have to have an education partners uh engagement and that's that's what we are doing here today now we talked about comparing us to other districts and i think some of you who are parents in other districts know that many times uh the way that other districts get input is through surveys and those surveys is the only way that they get that input and they they see we got input from our stakeholders our district we took the to heart the letter of the law and we said you know if it's local control this is local control and our voices have to be heard and we have to see our voices within that document so for us this is critical and important in terms of the transparency of the process so the lcap has rlcat anaheim in high school this is lcap has three goals okay and again the eight state priorities are embedded into these three goals so for us goal number one all students will demonstrate college career and life readiness and success through the implementation of the five c's that's goal number one so a lot of our activities that you will see are embedded into that goal so if you go to the booklet you will see what are all those activities that are ensuring that we meet that goal goal number two provide meaningful educational engagement opportunities for all parents and families to advocate for all students we believe so strongly in the anaheim high school district that families matter that we created a whole goal collectively for uh to ensure that that that that happened and goal number three provide and nurture a safe reflective responsive and positive school culture and that's goal number three so everything we do is embedded into one of these three goals within our district so with that i can ask you one simple question are we still good with these goals if you say yes we're still good with these goals thumbs up if you feel that these goals need to change in some way thumbs down we'll get a consensus the visual consensus and then we may or may not have a discussion so if you agree that these are still our goals and we can move forward with these goals thumbs up or thumbs down so visual consensus is that we continue with these goals thank you see how quickly we did it all right [Music] so just briefly i think i already shared that we have three primary groups that we are going to be working with and ensuring that what we are doing and is meeting their needs our low-income students our plural lingual students our english learners are foster youth but in our district we have been very very intentional about two other groups that are also equally important our students with disability and our homeless students and it's important for us to know as a district that we have developed task forces to really focus on the development and implementation of how best to support these student populations and finally the timeline we started this process on january 25th when we presented to our dlac committee we also did a parent orientation on january 25th we start our steering committee i want to thank all of our steering committee members they are your representatives on that group and their process and their role is really to ensure that the process is transparent and that the process moves along as we as we complete the lcap okay so they are the the leaders of associations they are your parent leaders from our pta our dlac they are student ambassadors and they are representatives who will be facilitating your meetings we then start our engagement process which today was the first day we go all the way through april 28th and we will periodically be meeting throughout that time our hope and our goal is to complete the the el cap on april the 30th um because we want to make sure that we can send it to the orange county department of education for review so we can get it back make any changes prior to us submitting it to the board for approval and the board uh club public hearing is on june the 9th so we hope to hear and see all of you there and see all your great work in action and then our hope is that the board approves our lcap on june the 16th at the board meeting on the 16th uh now you think about he said okay what do we do with all this information and all the work that you do for these you know next few meetings what happens well we then give it to the school sites and then the school sites use that information to do their spsas or or single plan for student achievement i shared with you that you have a booklet that's going to guide you all the information is there you do have homework your homework is to review the data your homework is to review uh some of the the current actions that we have so when we have these discussions you are ready to contribute um with that i'm going to go ahead and turn it over to partner in crime with el cap i just want to publicly thank mr carmona who uh really again when we see the whole process let's give a round of applause [Music] when you see the whole process come together it's his work that's behind the scenes that gets it all done so mr carmona thank you mr colon i believe i'm left with one minute on the clock so uh a few items as we get ready i really appreciate all of you using the qr code to check in that information is going to be vital for our next steps so we're in our first meeting here right we heard our overview of the process and the vision the next three meetings you will be working in small groups and as mr colon stated you will be working i will be silent you will be contributing mr colon will be silent you will be telling us what you need to see and want to see right mr matsuda will be quiet you will be sharing those voices right so it's not just about tonight right it's those next three meetings where we put you to work you tell us um what's working what we need to uh we're doing it but let's do it a little bit better or maybe we're not quite there yet right and we need to put in some additional resources and effort to make that happen so those next three meetings are really critical that fourth meeting will have priorities we'll look at all the things that we've identified across the groups and we'll say these are the ones we consider the most important so that's a very critical night and then our last night we will review that draft and that will be a very uh community centered event we'll be working together eating together and preparing that draft to submit to our board of trustees so that that is the overview of where we're headed over the next few meetings uh again there are four groups right and those four groups are broken across our state priorities so uh an important note here we have many many uh people represented in this room uh who you hold some of your staff members some of your students some of your parents we want to have all of those voices represented across all of the groups so to make sure that happens we will be assigning you to your group yes you don't get to choose i'm sorry uh we will be assigning you but that's because we want all of those perspectives in every group right that's critical to the success of of this process so you will

all i've heard today is goal one is don't get hurt so i'm here with coach stacy meyer i am scott moore and we will be uh doing our best to uh entertain you while we uh watch some quality basketball today coach uh obviously some of these guys you have played with or played for or coached rather coach played with all the above all the above and then uh keith hipskin is uh coaching one of the uh teams and rob ballou's coaching one of the teams so between the three of you most of these guys have uh as going under your guys's tenure absolutely and and even scott i know the national anthem's over but scott holdsworth who's um varsity assistant his father did the national anthem in a quick story you were probably here but um it was in 2009 or 10. we were getting ready to do national anthem the person that was supposed to sing it didn't show up scott holder grabs the mic and saves the national anthem for so he's been under the gun or under the fire a few times but yeah and it was very well like that's that's not something i'm doing no no i would forget the words to be honest it'd be like that episode of naked god when he just makes the words up yeah that would that would not be good so um but it is another day scott um obviously alumni day and i would like to take a a second here to thank heather cummer for organizing this day june rigney another integral part in in recognizing and organizing this and the second piece of today is we're recognizing coach phil snogris oh yeah coach passed away his family is here today for the alumni game and we'll have a quick recognition today and then tonight at halftime of the varsity game um mr peters our principal um we'll have a little ceremony and i think there's going to be a few people speak so pretty cool that you know a lot of the guys that actually played for snot are here and there's families how long was phil the head coach here do you remember the exact i don't it's right around 20 years is when coach was here so one won several games i think he won 10 sectionals while he was here so did a tremendous job and affected a lot of a lot of young kids lives while he was here yeah yeah and then i think even later in his career he he went down and coached it to junior high for a while even when you were here yes he did he he got was not the varsity coach keith hipskin took over which keith's coaching in the alumni game today but then um coach snodgrass did go down to junior high and then when i came in after keith he's still helping up to junior high so a guy just loved basketball yeah yeah you got some of the old guard there with uh with rob baloo being an assistant coach for him for years mike novak i think is over running the clock today who was an assistant coach for phil and keith for many many years and for even for you for a little while so mike myers announcing played for coach snodgrass gary bailey he's on the referee he's an alum we got we got a lot going on here today so maybe oh we're coming right out with reed baloo so it doesn't get any better than this today i think the blue team here is getting ready to take the floor [Music] followed by matt lee yeah they are bringing out we're having two games today obviously um so the all those guys in blue will not be played in this first game we kind of divided them up same thing when the when the white team comes up so yeah alex meyer told me he was on the jv so we'll see how all that goes today and i believe it's going to be two 15 minute halves running clock correct and that'll be probably plenty for these guys today i know a couple of these guys showed up multiple hours ago to start getting loose and ready so uh good crowd it is it's a good event like you said heather it's a bigger crowd than we get on another coming put in a lot of hours she really did into this and hopefully this is a nice tradition it'll just continue and you know scott we did it i believe it was 2009 and 10.

and adam wilson's mom at that time organized everything that was playing tonight yes um so it's something that we started but soon found out there's so much work involved organizing it that you almost need a parent or someone and heather took the reins and to do it and god bless that she did [Music] gary bailey and tom cavacci on the whistle to here today that's right gary said he'd like to hang out around half court and let tom do the work and i think the word's already been put in if if keith hibsch leaves the coaching box he is going to get a technical today rightfully so what's the chance of alex meyer jumping center here for the white team i think he's pretty excited he told me earlier three dunks and a three-pointer that's all he wants today question is how is the substitution pattern going to work i see colin rigney's already on the bench right where he belongs to right there with his buddies uh balloon so it looks like we got alex meyer john stewart sean burcham adam wilson and brad fox on the white team yes jacob evans reid baloo kelly hipskin greg oh alex meyer gets the tip do you think there's an alley who plays that right from the get-go doesn't look like any back picks happening oh stuart the flying one-hander man i don't uh gibskin's not happy without first possession you know you spend all week working on stuff and you just come down and fire one up that's not what we want i just going to say that was an awful lot of patience for blue man down man down oh good oh oh dunk one dunk one it looks like he's going nope you know this is old-time basketball because guys are wearing their watches when they're playing oh probably getting their heart rate checking it out oh a little hesitation that's got to be a three-up nice boom kevin miller for three this one's going up oh second dunk oh man i really don't know what the blue team's gonna do with that today you know he's he's what two three years out of professional baseball he's still he's still got some some athletes missed call there by gary bailey took one to the head six to three i don't know if they can keep this pace going oh oh hips going inside you know the other thing i noticed earlier that uh and and maybe he still carries it around everywhere with him was robbaleu's green uh yes coffee he's got it with him he has it with him and my goodness he's had that thing forever or one like it at least oh we have us our first sub in scott looks like ben geesting for the white team comes in for jon stewart yeah keith said nope not after that running hook shot we're gonna get you out of here oh alex myers all smiles he can't quit smiling oh whoa whoa what's the call gary gives it to blue okay we were in this morning with the varsity rob blue had the blue team in for an early walk through this morning miller he's feeling it yeah oh boy this could be dunk number two don't leave your feet for three did not draw iron no oh john stewart coming back in he just needs a quick blow yep yep just a coaching point there get him coached up hips can go short in the bench a little as he's just going six-man rotation these other guys might be the varsity guys yes you are right they are notice the blue team hasn't uh been all fired up to get off that bench yet [Music] oh fox almost banked it in oh talking it blows oh he's going to the other hand last time all right oh i thought he was pulling it they uh both teams matt to use their timeouts wisely here just to catch a breath or two three by dugan greg right greg that is great yes one of four yes i had all four in class at the same time they did good luck yeah we had a couple guys up played together here greg adam wilson out on the floor jacob evans they all played together danny glassers getting ready to come in they were on the same class i think he was valedictorian i believe yeah i think dad went to notre dame as well yes my neighbor yeah pace has slowed up a bit here yeah we're five minutes ten minutes ago and a half a little high low action oh he wanted oh charge gary's got to give him that one [Applause] just like a hip skip he's barking at him i don't know if it's old age hips hipsken not even got off the bench yet i don't think he coached like that back in the day he put his glasses on he probably didn't know what the heck's going on i think dana glasser subbed in for jacob evans oh danny can hit that tough the key three alex is going to slow it down a little bit [Applause] oh not a lot of guys hustling after the rebound yeah yeah hold their keys up there we go there we go shuttle sub there sean burcham back in the game we got two burchams out here sean and tyler tyler's playing in the next game there's a three by kelly there we go kelly telling his dad he never let him shoot that in high school we have another sub in is that chris cobbler yes yes chris yes chris might be the he would be the oldest one 91 grade chris was i graduated 90 so he and i both played together that's been a long time ago so chris would have played obviously played for phil too yeah adam wilson for three i don't know has tom cavacci blowed his whistle yet he he half blew something over here and just kind of pointed yeah jon stewart putting some ball pressure on on the wing now kevin miller would have played for keith is that correct yeah okay oh kelly would have played for keith danny would have played for you yup cobbler snod yep and then adam adam played for you right sean played for you jon stewart he played for keith keith yep alex played for you yeah and geesteng would have been keith yes man swat town he's faking an injury now everybody's a lot of bent over uh breathing hard here good thing we're subbing everybody cut your breath alex meyer our new baseball coach yes [Music] oh [Music] we're shooting free throws or is taking it out today looks like we're just taking it out we got time for that two for one or one for two or how are you oh good spin move there by sean pipskin's all over the foul tips got four fouls right now blue's barking at him he's got him looks like he wanted that three oh nice back cut i think there's a little bit more trash talking at the beginning of the game right now it's it's it's a little quiet oh pull up i didn't draw him yeah shot up by blue [Applause] a little side cool little experience here we got a little bit of a student section yeah pirate tears are here cheerleaders are here i believe there's an alumni dance here here between games oh hipster wanted to foul alex seven back in oh keith's up oh no they may be running a set play here maybe some pinch i just think he needed to fix his jeans they were crinkled up had to stand up for a second looks like kelly hipsken drew the short straw guarding alex yeah there's been more ball movement than i thought we'd see oh boy trouble oh he went to the left hand uh-oh looks like a little bully ball blue for three oh boy oh lord this looks like no no didn't quite have the lift a little shocked we haven't seen kevin fields here we may need him bailey we're not having that though 4 30 left blew up two danny glasser in the post working on that oh birch we

nail biter dugan's back in they need a bucket everybody's a little short i'd play enough now greg dugan he walked on at xavier he did he did yeah and they made it i think to lead eight because they got a ring with them and then i see sean sellers is on the bench over there played at ball state and overseas for a year yup um you got rigney who played tennis yep macy holdsworth played baseball at u of i yeah um um tyler burcham played baseball at i got ohio i think he was in tennessee somewhere hmm oh you can't leave him open guys or maybe maybe he can good blue needs a bucket here about two minutes to go there it is got it i don't know about hipsken just subbing in as the ball's in play this isn't hockey yeah he does what he wants brad sites kick this one in john going back to that hook he likes the hook [Music] we gotta delay a game warning [Laughter] cobbler getting into the action a little pull-up oh blue team up one with about a minute to play and a half will they go for one shot maybe but not on purpose ball screen for dougie kevin miller from the corner that's his second it is take a commanding four-point lead meyer from way down oh that's he's better than that oh lost his shoe wow that uh looked like a hamstring yeah that looked like the reason why you're sitting over here right oh they had glasser for three in the corner they're gonna hold for one though who what's your prediction who's gonna take this shot i'm going to say either miller or or dugan oh he's out of bounds though any halftime performance here scott are we just going to put five minutes and uh that's great oh yeah we got five minute half time cheerleaders will be back oh yeah well that's something we've got some alumni we're going to see something big [Applause] well he can still do that yes he can because wow you okay after that short half time there teams re-warmed back up ready to put on a show is that what we're calling it this afternoon i have not seen an alumni band here today i don't know if that's going to happen tonight or i really don't know either hips getting looks like mixing up the starting lineup a little bit here start second half certainly he wasn't happy he was not happy with brad fox's shot over there so he just sent him a message rob blue we'll see what type of halftime adjustments he's made yeah baloo's starting his kid so [Laughter] you know it's all about who you know it's blue ball up four they go milk a little clock here in the first shot or you think first available i think i think yeah i was gonna say blue's gonna get the ball he's gonna make something happen here oh a little flare this could get blocked alex meyer in foul trouble they were keeping track disagreed with the official on that one that's just their zone oh lord i say that's just going to motivate that this zone has got him baffled hipsken may need a oh timeout good hustle by evans to dugan oh he got him lifted but couldn't finish bluegill fall back in that sticky 2-3 again that's that was rob's playing all along oh get get through the first half see where the legs are uh-oh there it is wilson says i'll be the zone buster may just pulled him right out of that little fake handoff by hipscon not a lot left on that shot right there i think some people are gonna be happy that uh monday's president's day they got a little extra recovery from those can wilson oh dugan looks like he's in still in pretty good shape yes i'm not seeing the effort i'd like to see out of that white team right now evans oh also now he's got a burst yes oh the fader stuart in there battling give him a nail 21-22 watch out white's making a comeback we got a sub here by uh uh i believe brendan marker's in brendan yes he must have got here late we've seen him yeah he didn't get in the first half brynden was a senior my very first year at greensburg he and alex alex was a junior oh nice rebound alex meyer has a left hand who wouldn't know who would have thunk it i think as white should white be leading by one but that scores right yeah shouldn't that be 25 24 i think so mike novak over keeping score somebody may want to elbow him wake him up danny glasser oh alex meyer just having fun out here today oh here oh don't dunk on danny i don't even have words he will get another duck before the game i think he's motivated stewart for three at this point i think we're happy if they draw iron brendan trying to get a seal in there on fox sticky oh rebound to bircham oh just pull up there it is oh i don't know if you can get much more of the room than that cobbler a little pull-up i thought hipster was calling to play nope blue's no longer in that sticky 2-3 i think wilson shot him out of it fundamentals that they've been taught i'm not seeing it on the court right now they clearly have forgotten guys that couldn't shoot all of sudden they're shooters aren't they nice back cut oh he's got to shoot that oh why are we walking the ball up the floor that's not the style play we have geese likes that fade he does what do you think the shooting percentage is today so far oh yeah oh that's two in a row and then he releases yeah i just say you guys better score now [Applause] score still may not be correct i think it should be 26 25.

i don't think kai dyer's doing a very good job on the camera there that's just a lack of playing together they just misread they needed a couple more practices yeah oh we got two subs coming in for the blue evans and blue and for dugan or they just may play with six all right and miller i think is coming out there oh double screen for fox evans reddit oh big fast break here oh oh hit it danny oh danny come the on no the big guy the big guys are used to be down in the post or get a little gun shy will both teams break 30. uh both teams yes they both only have to score two more buckets that's that's true um i'm gonna say yes it's like the all-star game the last four or five minutes they're gonna really get serious yeah nobody wants to lose the alumni game did wilson hit that last three i think so uh-oh johnny yes johnny hook shot we haven't seen danny running point much today everyone a little gun shy to shoot against alex danny backing him down little up and under oh fader birch is going to shoot a pull-up oh yeah it yeah i think you called that about the g there but i think sean was hey it's looking good for white breaking 30.

aren't really running the floor for a fast alex is walking wow four point lead in this game alex trying to get the crowd riled up now i could have just iced it yeah four points is kind of like a 12 point regular game nice that that that timeout by hipskin was key rallied the troops got her legs back under him nice pass underneath you think they'll pick up full court here nope well yes but that's just because they haven't gotten back so say they're going to start pressing doing some stuff do you think the guy's shirt sizes are the same as when they were in high school um alex maybe just because he wore his like crazy big all the time everybody else no birch has been a wrecking machine right here 235 with a four-point lead white teams up keith's got to milk this go four corners oh we're shooting free throws now oh clock's running still shooting free throws they they have stopped the clock key free throws still a chance here for blue geesing something you never do scott switch to don't ever save it on your real bucket the golden rule under jerry oh look birch has taken over oh bailey calls it out on birch oh big call three-point lead with two minutes all-star game in full force [Music] oh whoa it's cut to one they go pick up full oh scored more points in the last minute and a half geesing key shot he gets his own rebound don't know if we need that shot right now white team nasty wilson looks like he knows it's about pride [Laughter] oh left and wide open for a layup what do you think uh hipsken or dugan for three right here i'm going to say they're probably going to try to go to duke and he's running reggie miller's screens here birch is not going to have it wilson won't let him have it either just go foul him run the clock out give him the bonus 50 seconds white up by three got sub brad fox looks like he's in for geestein get some fresh legs on him yeah absolutely i thought maybe rob blue called timeout get the grease board out drill something up somebody's got to do something oh good hustle fox good hustle [Laughter] oh that could have been it can they put a exclamation point on the uh no they're not going down he's trying [Music] there's still a chance here for blue [Laughter] i missed it alex tried throwing one off the glass to himself on the foul line to duncan lord oh mercy oh parker oh okay he got his third the second one didn't count did it that's uh 41-37 great evenly matched game i'm gonna i'm gonna run over i got something to say on the pa real quick scott all right we will step away here for a hot second and we'll listen what coach meyer has to say and and we'll be back with the next game here in a minute you victory if i can have everyone's attention real quick before we get the second game started um i would like to give a few thank yous for today is heather cummer out there or in here she out in the hallway heather if you could step in here please thank you very much for everything you've done getting this ready for today june thank you very much for organizing as well thank our guys here at the scores table our coaches i did notice coach hipskin you got out of your seat once i don't think you used to do that back in the day i didn't know if your jeans were messed up or or what it was thanks for all of you coming out and especially thanks to all the players you guys are the ones that makes this place in this program special thank you very much the second piece to today and we will have a bigger ceremony at halftime of the varsity game tonight but i would like nancy snogwrist and coach coach snuggers family please stand up like i said we will have at halftime of the varsity game tonight we'll have a bigger ceremony but i know coach snodgrass has touched almost all of us in here whether you're a fan a player i know what he's done for me in my coaching career and i can't thank him enough for all of it but i wanted to recognize coach snodgrass today and again tonight at the halftime game we'll do we'll do a bigger recognition so thank you for coming out today thanks everyone you can you hear me scott i can hear you coach hey we're back here uh game one four-point game close game um i thought it thought a critical timeout for coach hitzkin they're in the second half to regroup the troops there's no doubt need a little stoppage of play there to kind of collect their thoughts and figure out what we want to do down the stretch i thought it was it was very timely and uh just let me just say i just want to say one thing about um the crowd today it's just an awesome awesome display of community support we got an outstanding crowd here and it's just great to see you it's great to see a lot of these old guys coming back and having fun playing in an alumni game this year for a great cause absolutely and game one i did not see any injuries so that's key to these guys too get out of here without getting hurt absolutely i i said uh somebody down on the end down there i was watching part of the first half they said i wonder how many times we're gonna have to you know call on somebody for assistance i said hopefully none that's right we don't have kevin here today so and for anyone who's just listening right now a big thank you to you for you and your father gary to sing the national anthem that's cool thank you thank you have that chance and yeah we didn't have an opportunity to do that and mrs cummer just came to us and asked or came to me and asked if i would be willing to do it so it was a it was a great honor and a fun thing i haven't had a chance to do that in a while so uh being able to do it with him so yes and i don't think people understand like what it takes to put an event like this on i mean heather has done so much in organizing everything that that goes into today's event so yeah and an event like this coach you know um it doesn't just shape itself up in in a couple of weeks there's a lot of planning that goes into it before the the communication and the setup of all the things that go involved so kudos to her for taking care of all those little things that go behind the scene that makes an event like this absolutely a success well we're getting ready to start game two and i think you probably recognize one of the players out here in the blue uniforms don't you i do it's number 12 out there and he's going to be teamed up here to start with sean sellers spencer berker matty lee and ty fleetwood yes what a squad oh big dog flex big dog is already on the offensive glass asserting his uh his will in there the white team looks like we have tyler burcham uh chandler deaden jaden smith bringing it up logan barker and riley blue just scored the first two shot there by chandler deaton out on the perimeter maddie lee just cleaning up the glass absolutely you get a hard push by blue there's a nice back cut and i i really like the spacing so far of the uh of the blue team sellers rising from three no good do you think this pace will slow as the game progresses i think i think that uh it it could slow down but when they get their second win it's going to be it's going to be something logan with a pull up going right white jumps out oh no one's garden mace this is going up oh left or short just left it a little short chandler out transition over to reversal from blue over to jayden smith for john that's good nice shot jaden i saw jaden there earlier this week getting some extra shots yeah looks like it paid off maddie lee on a little faithful riley blue supporting the cruddy kid looked today he is and i think that's that's just to make sure that sweat doesn't fall into his brow oh burch said he was going to shoot some threes because we wouldn't let him shoot threes in high school so he was going to make up for today i noticed i noticed in pregame that um oh there's one for mace i got one down i noticed some pregame he was he was paying special attention to the three-point shot and he was having fun doing it calling ringy from top quick substitution i don't know if that's even legal that's the hockey stop substitutions aren't legal out here i think it totally took the blue team by surprise he was just able to step into a rhythm three i'm going to assume that's going to be one of many we're going to be shot by rigg today fleetwood from the corner out to fleetwood oh somebody shut that door down there tyler burcham the the finesse two points for tyler burcham shawn sellers uh-oh no good what's called gonna be with gary i didn't even hear a whistle i think it said play on [Music] uh-oh iron them up iron them up barker wanted the foul from kavatsi right there did not get it ty fleetwood with the cross-court uh-oh he's warming up folks yeah you know you know coach like when you when you come out and you and you get a chance to see these guys and i know it's especially exciting james smith it's especially exciting for for us to have had an opportunity to work with these guys and they see them come back and and see how they've grown over the last several years once they've gone out of out of uh high school into college and pursuing their their uh adult lives i guess now so it's just really neat to get to see everybody and an exciting day it is and aj knobby into the game and getting his first offensive rebound burchest is taking matters in his own hands here and i would be remiss if i didn't say that tyler burcham still has the quicks a little in out to the right hand once again in traffic oh matty lee using the stagger no good colin rigney with a rare offensive or defensive rebound that's only so he can come down and pull this we knew it was going up that was a definite heat check right there by colin rigney there's a chain of overrated going on with regni right now where is the love for coach rigney aj knobby dribble out about forcing a speed dribble into the turnover we got some more subs here coach okay let's see if we can looks like peyton bunning and kevin beaver and spencer berger coming in okay good ball movement there by the white shirt spotting up there on the right wing no good riley aj yes patented 12-footer the left-to-right 12-footer yes kevin beaver nice bottom of the little fader just creating space is the offense just that good right now or is there a lack of defense being played i think at this part this portion of the game the offense is definitely ahead of the defense right now and i think they're just feeling each other out oh peyton butting down that's a that's a tough match for peyton coach you cannot play behind chandler deaton you have to play in front and help behind oh spencer from this cross court look at that [Applause] have all these guys just turned into shooter did we handcuff them coach these are these are homegrown indiana boys you know that they have they've taken it upon themselves or continued to work on their three-point craft oh jaden wanted to what did oh hit that aj call him with a quick catch and shoot and it's good like we say monday through thursday hand down man [Music] sellers on top calling for the ball screen pulls they're not giving him much space out there but it doesn't take much space i don't know how serious hipskin is right now about coaching this game he's got a couple grandkids on his lap i'll tell you what coach that's he's probably in the best spot that anybody could be right now peyton beauty for three nice little nifty pass fake to the corner kevin beaver skipping it out to spencer burker for three no good another good check out we got another another another uh this is another underground substitution yes oh give and go nice once again i don't know if blue had their match-ups with that substitution that's a that's a that's a tough play right there spencer with the penetration out to bunning no good oh loose on the ground spencer comes back up with it i know that's hard to believe spencer burke are coming up with a loose ball yeah he made a living doing that sean from volleyball line range barker and bircham out [Laughter] that was that was birch is going to elevate on sean there nifty crosstalk oh spencer he's had to been out to armory ymca working on a skill here there's no question i think uh um i i don't know i may have seen him out getting some one-on-one moves in his driveway ty fleetwood on the closeout logan barker dribbles left just off the mark rebound by blue out to smith no good and here comes the blue coach i got a feeling the second half with about 10 minutes ago stuff will start getting real these good guys are too competitive just to run up and down there's there's no doubt that the competitive juices are going to come out here later on in the contest peyton butting sizing them up skip past them for another three no good barker with the rebound looking to push nice move underhole up and under looking inside oh there it is a little ball screen forward oh post feed into berker oh burkard had rig kevin beaver kevin beaver with the downtown three 26 to 21 right now white with a five-point lead aj knobby ball over birch for a deep three in and out aj cleaning up the offensive rebound coach that's jaden smith's third three his third three we got timeout or just a sub here just a substitution just a quick sub you've got to really communicate in this game on your matchups there's maddie lee with a hard drive right coach i think down here the the offensive rebound left the match is in a little bit of trouble barker field a little bit right there off the dribble uh-oh hands down i feel this one may go up nope nope that one is a little short aj after the board those legs moving into it looks like mesa is not going to give oh right now oh and he looks bad he looks back oh shoot maddie lee got it from three [Applause] oh flurry of activity right there we got some talking going on aj nabi has just been a man on the glass today and you know he's doing the dirty work coach he's doing the he's doing the things that guys really look to to get a good teammate and giving him second opportunities a little pick and roll by fleetwood and mace let's get past the beauty it's good from the corner we got us a ball game here yeah i don't think any either team is going to go down silently this could be a dunk no too much resistance beauty with the following follow oh yeah make that maddie lee wants it off the bounce he's been working on his game a little bit he has been and i told you before the game started i think he's he's repping the best looking pair of shorts out there today are those old-school orlando magic sports greensburg blue with the white pennies a hard drive sparkle to drive just missed seangle slowed up a little nope beating down for three great crown a long rebound big chandler for three in the corner no good and that was contested there by peyton buening watch out maddie lee's feeling it guys sean sellers out of the corner no good just having a little difficulty finding that range right now what's the chance of rigged pulling this one i think it's very good yep it's going up into the game now kevin's knocked out a couple shots legs are going to be fresh here with a quick breather watch out we got riley and spencer here 101 in the boat nope kick out logan barker dribble left pull up jane smith with the offensive rebound coach these guys are hungry there's a lot of offensive rebounds going going on right now i can't help but think coaches need to have those guys think about that check out here in a second second half of this stanza riley calling for it he and mace one-on-one in the post a little fader no good from the kid out running the floor two points blue takes a two-point lead maybe their only lead of the game right now got about 45 seconds to go i think white's going to hold it for one shot jaden and gonna burns a little clock right here take the last shot and maybe have the ball in possession coming out in the second half nice communication on blue right turn a tight curl on rig with a switch you think rigney will go ahead and get it and call his own number with four low uh there is a very good chance if the ball is in his hands yes jane smith with a hard drive from three no good sellers with a rebound five seconds this one's going up got to into the half oh 35-33 scott it looks like we're going to have alumni performance with the cheerleaders again uh combination maybe of the pirate tears and it's this is this is kind of the neatest part because we get to see we get to see them today and normally coach for the dance team i i knew they were really good but we never get to see it exactly right we never get to see it because we're always in the locker room so this is a pretty cool opportunity i got to see them perform today and i enjoy them they they always have great spirit and our alumni cheerleaders are doing an outstanding job and and and it's wonderful to see them come back and have some fun yeah in an event like this and i don't know if you know if you're just tuning in this is the half time of the second game um with the uh the younger guys i guess uh from the greensburg pirate alumni crew there's there's a really nice crowd here coach to support the event and i think it would be nice to know that for everybody out there that this is an event for a fundraiser for our after prom i believe yes and as well we are honoring coach coach snodgrass today and then also this evening at the game with south ripley so if you have an opportunity it's not going to be too late for you to come out at six o'clock start time where the greensburg pirates will be taking on the south ripley raiders tonight yep absolutely and i think scott you kind of hit it it's i think it kind of tells you uh the kids that are that have played in the program um our community when they come out to support kids like today but also know the the players that have played at greensburg they're well respected uh they represent the school community so well these people want to support these kids absolutely and going along with that i'll add one more layer to it coach and that is all of these guys within the first group and the second group they all they all share a really special common bond and that is having gone through the program and playing um and representing our school community with greensburg high school basketball and and i know it's always good to see those guys always love getting together and visiting with one another that i know they don't get a chance to do that very often but this is a wonderful opportunity for them to come together and and be able to you know revisit something that was so important to them and so important to our community yes and like you said um you've had a son go through it that's got his life if you will started and and it's hard for these guys to get back together but if you can hold an event like this put it on the calendar and they can all kind of um scratch this date out and and get here it it is special and that's and that's one of the things you know that we were talking earlier with mrs commerce heather she in order to be able to have this out there for as many number of people this had to be a planning and a vision from you know far out in advance to be able to have these guys be able to clear it out like you say yeah and mark it on this calendar for them to be able to make it a make it an attempt to get back and and and you can see we have a really nice group of alumni basketball players coming back and it just kind of tells you what it meant to them going through and being able to have the opportunity to come back and and rekindle some old friendships and get to get to revisit um you know what they what they knew as as high school kids coming through the program and um i think all three phases if you will we had uh um chris cobbler played for coach snogris i played for coach um then we had group or guys that played for hipsken and the guys that played for us so we have kind of the last three coaches in those areas all represented here today and and you know like for me as a coach being here with you for the last what 13 years or 14 13.

this is this is a it's just a wonderful piece to have the the length of amount of time with those three men especially and yourself included in in pirate basketball and it's it's a it's a real testament to um what coach snodgrass coach hipskin and you yourself have done um in terms of leading our program and and leading young men and um and and i i appreciate that i get it i get to visit with uh uh mr hifskin you know yeah here at the school in the building um frequently and i know when i first came coach sagras was one of our junior high coaches which was greatly important for those young kids to have a guy like that to be able to you know just coach them up every day yeah and and it's it's just a really neat thing to be a part of and and i think it's probably why you see so many guys wanting to come back and enjoy a day like today absolutely and they're getting gift certificates to the tap winning team has got gift certificates to the tap they can go rekindle old war stories amongst themselves i can tell you that's that's got to be weighing on the minds here of of these guys as they enter the second half and it should it very well should and you know what i would do i i i would just like to invite everybody everybody come on down and visit oh well we've got a barn burner here we've got the blue team up by two headed into the second half it's going to be interesting with coach blue and hips getting the halftime adjustments they're going to make for the second half yes and i'll tell you the one thing i know coach blue may have a little bit of the edge because i noticed when he came in to get ready he had his old green thermos yes he did and i can't help but think he's in a real comfortable spot right now as we go into the last half of the of the day oh and we've got um did you meet mark carmen today is that name i i did not okay mark is sitting right by the scores table on keysight okay mark was pirate pete back when he was in high school yeah so like when when they had won the regional in 85 and all that mark was the the pirate pete back then how about that that's exciting i saw him earlier with the t-shirt and i thought well he he must be somewhere involved with this and so that's that's exciting tonight to know oh boy blue could get a little separation here kick out to burke chaffey drive oh over defensively was able to kiss that one off off the glass for another three good follow-up offensive rebound no good sellers with the rebound nice look in transition up ahead we made hipsken may need a timeout here he may be going for for a bathroom break and his son kelly they're corralling the youngsters kelly played in the first game he had a couple of shots from from downtown good to see him back in town as well as everyone here today james smith out of the corner no good tyler burcham burch did not want to take that back up oh a little fader on sean oh very creative on that look oh big dog maze match up in the corner that one got stonewalled to find the open cellars at the rim boy i don't know i don't know about hipsken's decision to keep rigney on the bench he's got instant offense sitting over there he he does and and big dog was reluctant to pull that trigger right there so oh tyler with a nice back cut make sure to let me know he's shooting 50 from the field oh there's a hockey sub here we go there he is he's back in blue better know their match-ups let's mark the time on this coach it's 12 20 left in the game oh sean rig match up riggs looking to take his cookies i'll step back no good but there's special burger again oh oh this one's going to go down no no good there's burgers he's an animal in the glass that was a flurry there's a lot of action there riley oh and riley's giving the little man the little man sign i don't think ryan they left the floor right there offensive rebound just positioning is so important coach lee off the stagger double oh oh you know it's good to see that our guys they're still switching handoffs and ball screens i just hope we do tonight well it's good spins spencer impacting himself on the game mark burke are little upset claiming that i've handcuffed a son in high school not letting him shoot marcus is excited about what's going on and transpiring out here spencer oh nice pick and roll by aj that is diagonal all over it all right pace is slowing a little looks like we may get a ball screen pick and pop here the columbus east backside flash screen because we saw that this week in our in our scout time oh shoot and that one's they caught it on the floor rig and shawn going to battle it out here on the floor i think coach brigny's taking this a little personal right now oh mason oh he's gonna mark jackson back him down it's not the easiest thing to keep merchant in front of you know his crossover in out and that first explosive step is pretty hard to handle and and i will say he's looking to go to his right hand now a little more and i think it's added a dimension ringing from deep oh matty lee not happy about that rigged letting them know oh we got chandler deaton sean match up that one's good sean just steps in knocks down a three this guy turned into a three-point contest spencer jump passing oh coach i remember a lot of those shots going down on the on the far wing on a skip pass with peyton stepping into it oh aj knobby with a high ball screen oh thought about it no sean that was a great that was a great little cutter that he threw on a line [Laughter] oh shoot another high ball screen by aj bert's going to go and pull this sean's going to get it out out to lee lee back to sellers oh and the nice cut by burker just missed in traffic hit that hit that deep oh maybe the bucket they needed to get going taylor pointing at the crowd a little bit they're not going to go away coach it's just not going to happen both these teams are here to compete and have some fun but at the end of the day you know it's going to come down to okay we're looking to go win this game to have the bragging rights there we go aj hey if they're gonna give it to him he's gonna i think you gotta you gotta pull right there have to guard that sellers again matt lee playing a little defense out here today too coach we are under that 10 minute mark here in the second half barker for a rhythm three from the top nice shot logan another key substitution for hibskin just didn't get matched up [Music] is that is that something that kind of went along with coach hipskin's career as a sneak attack on those on those rotations makes you wonder yes colin rigney stepping in and the steal up to burch in the corner no good long rebound to smith out again reverse to rig oh no rig rigg took too many jumpers during walk through today his legs can't be there i i think so and and you know that's just a something experience we'll just bring out of them the next time we have a chance to do this matty lee from three beaver just getting a ball what's the call was there a call i don't know i don't know what just happened i don't know if it was uh another whistle there on the drive to the basket not quite to the five-minute mark where we're going to be shooting free i can't help but think in the last five minutes when free throws could come down to the wire they can be important ty fleetwood didn't like that call no over the back he's going to get a little knock down maybe into a transition blaster looked like riley had a good hold on spencer burker to free up that's just a that's just a great read there by rigney on the back side and burch on the berkshires converts just going to go start picking up wondering when that full-court pressure was going to come into effect beaver could answer kevin beaver having a day today how many threes he have four yes brigny heating up i think he's being poked by the by the beaver coach also after this game we're going to have a free throw contest i heard some some talkings about that um i i heard eddie lee talking a little bit about there's a foul there in the post what what do we call that flower that is that is another favorite i'm tired i just hit a couple threes i can't i can't handle burkard in the post i couldn't get around oh i can't feel my lungs hey you said it free throw free throws are kind of using the last five minutes are going to be huge here today but we got a we got an eddie lee kyle nobby yes chris tubby and tom welling and tom yes those four are gonna go square off today i think it's a two minute format the winner advances and then they advance to the next round to get us a champion championship of the charity stripe and i'm assuming gift certificates to the tap for a free throw winner i would assume that to be true pick it up full six point game here with about 3 40 to go oh it's the heat's coming yes it is i think it's going to be a battle of attrition right here white's going to have to have a couple defensive rotations here if they're going to start trapping yes they are i think mace likes this matchup with aj i don't know oh oh burst from the sneak attack around off the bounce kick out to barker and no good there's rigney on the rebound it's good rolls in still no timeout by hibskin he's just gonna let her roll see what happens let the players decide the game coach four-point game burch is still running around oh boy oh and one opportunity is going to be good we're just taking it out basket's good though we're gonna move on burch they need that three aj cleaning things up give him a foul oh rig got another one in him yes he does rainey put it on a little bit of a clinic here looks like hips gonna make those playing horses the key clock's going to stop here opportunity for a couple free throws guys can catch your breath coach right here i think the blue team's really got to be aware of the pressure that could be coming from the white team as they inch back into it coach this is really the first time i've done this this is this is kind of nice it's kind of neat just being able to talk about the game yes enjoy the enjoy the day really not quite as nerve-wracking as sitting over there where hipsken is is rather enjoyable all right we have still got a four point ball game white's not pressing blue blue going berlo clock two possession game here deaton's gonna come out and force the yeah he is back cut by button [Music] and nice fine by chandler deaton another nice back cut oh riley blue just cleaning things up kicked out in a turnover unfortunately guys are just continuously looking to kevin beaver back in for spencer hey give me a chance oh boy beaver with a layup bumper to nope collected blue's content [Music] oh boy heads up sellers to the floor taylor says i don't care you're not getting away with protect the paint you're not gonna get there you're gonna go earn it on the line many a time sean seller's at the line with a minute or under yes oh just jinxed him right there how many times you see that ghost not many minute left here 68-63 that may have done it blue team may have just heisted go and hit that go ahead peyton yes yeah [Applause] bryce bryce bennett not happy on the bench with that shot saying he should have knocked the clock out well and that's that's just bryce and and rick goes for the downtown three no available but what i will mention bryce bennett did not get an opportunity to play today but he is here supporting his teammates and all the alumni from from greensburg and had a little bit of an injury this week so was unable to play coaches the clock runs down riley blue is going to come down and make one last attempt no good out of bounds with just a few seconds left [Applause] [Music] blue team by 10.

i remember coming back from school and catching a catching a couple games and um i remember seeing him play a couple times in high school they had a really good team i think they were like 18 and two maybe somewhere in there and they got beat in the final game of the regional uh by newcastle yeah that's that's that game's talked about still yes a little bit um you know when we when we go back into the historic the archives yeah when we talk about those that's one of those games we've talked about quite a bit [Music] they're going for two minutes here there will be a rebounders on both ends at the end of two the winner of total made free throws will advance to the next round to compete against the winner of our second group which i do believe will be i think it's supposed to be eddie lee and tom well i just i do see eddie over here oh i see tom tom yes yes and we know eddie lee's been practicing for about a month on this so he'll be in rare form don't ask him because he said he hasn't shot from about 20 years i was down there he was telling me that kyle navi had found a little rhythm there for a second he's got nice rotation yep good follow through and his rhythm is pretty good he's just going to catch set it and release it and he's working for him right now not a lot to mess up there chris is at the other end so we can't quite see the results there for tubby heavy rattled one in there coach how many free throws could you hit in two minutes do you think i don't even know how many you could get up into in two minutes i it would have to be um would you have any dribbles or would it just be catching you're setting and shooting in this kind of setting i would just catch set it and shoot it and just my number one thing would be catching with the seams and then getting it up and getting it out as quickly as possible and then fatigue's going to sit in at some point and and it may not even get to the rim at some point but i say that would probably be the strategy for for a for a competition set up like this [Music] looks like kyle knobby hit 20.

damon [Music] we'll have all the principles in that too all right and mr sherman um [Music] hey i will go ahead and call me to order thanks for everybody for being here on a random monday i will start out with the approval of the agenda entertainment motion to occur motion say goodbye josh tim oh baby motion passes mr president i move that the board go into executive session pursuant to the kansas open meetings act to discuss confidential personnel matters related to non-elected personnel as they relate to an individual employee's drug performance that we return to open session this room ahead 6 20 620 with superintendent superintendent part i okay there'll be an executive session until 6 20. uh so we are back in open session next is the work session and i will hand it over to no action no i will just take care of that myself uh let's talk staffing real quick for next year and years moving forward uh we know that and let's just uh do this by building if that's okay so let's just start with central plains elementary school uh we know that we will have at least what do we have jane help me out one opening for sure we're not going to count special ed because that's special ed one opening right now one teacher uh central plains high school right now counselor one position i'm gonna talk about teachers what talking teachers yeah secretary and nurse yeah uh do you want me to listen you can go ahead and list secretary and nurse yes that's fine uh at wilson you're right bigger i can't i can't see it uh wilson right now we know of uh one in the high school we believe we'll we'll have actually jane i think you might have two here because uh you've got kayla moving to counselor but you think you might have that filled is that what you're thinking yes okay uh and then you have two elementary openings right now two elementary openings and there's also a few others out there that we've got to keep in mind really in all the buildings because we do have a lot of teachers who have reached their 85 points and could retire uh so our goal on staffing is that we're able to fill all these positions the question then becomes and this would be like part two understaffing what do we want to do if we are unable to fill let's say a high school position at either end of the district do we want to a look at distance teaching if we cannot find somebody meaning whatever class is taught at wilson or taught at sims plains high school and beamed down i think that's your first option i do too that's your viable option the only problem with that is if you can't do it in-house then you're gonna have to go outside yeah and there are sources outside to bring them in yes so a lot of your service centers anymore southwest plains as dec have teachers that can teach and do that for districts that cannot find teachers um we are also looking and i kind of want this goes back up to the top one of possibly having a couple teachers that would go half time to in the high schools to facilitate some uh other programs like the surf safe and or a class where students build say sheds or eventually maybe purchase an old house in town to refurbish can i get a little board feedback on your thoughts on a program like that for our students i think that's great yeah i think we should have been doing that on tonga yes i believe their student interest we currently have a building a large building construction possible currently and they built i mean in the past they felt like our football shed and our concessions and things like that this year they helped build a ramp for one of our students who had an accident i mean so we currently have it up there now and and just an fyi that might end up being a combined class between uh central plains high school students and wilson high school students uh and i've mentioned that i felt like that it could end up being like maybe first semester they built something at claflin second semester they built something at wilson like a storage shed or whatever but i would eventually like to see that program grow and work with our communities to help refurbish houses in bushton in hollywood in lorraine in dorne's in clapham actually refurbishing a house i mean it's a great idea i think that would be wonderful life skills even if they're not going into it but the overhead for it and who buys the house and how long you sit on a house that's gonna reliability of it yeah and they like in the insurance and liability our students were covered through our insurance through you know whether they go to football games or whatever they're covered or go to a field trip to hayes or whatever but that is a concern the price of possibly buying a house but if a bank foreclosed on one and they don't see any hope for it there could be some opportunities there that's why i kind of wanted to take it small at first and see how we do before we branch out to get any bigger and it's not something that like if we bought a house it's not something that you would be done in a year i don't think it might take us two years to do it depending on the number of students we have so um interest in that okay lying we can't get all that to sync up and work we're still short teachers what do we do now we got plan a plan b i think we need to address the uh the plan b here second distance learning okay because depending on what classes you're talking about i think it's going to be hard to do a science lab class so on so distance learning you can probably get it done and you know the teacher could also travel one or two days a week there's ways to make it work okay but i think the core classes are going to be more difficult i agree so that's what openings we have and that will be something i will continue to to give the board that information as right now the four classes that we're looking at are uh the personal finance uh forensics keyboarding and accounting correct mr holmes okay two from wilson going down two from cleveland coming up that's a great start by the way yeah well uh uh this distance learning grant that we're getting has also been a bit helpful because we're gonna be able to get some good technology that hopefully will make it work well uh i agree with some of those core classes makes me a little nervous like a algebra class or a math you know or an english two junior english those type classes even some of the history makes me a little nervous doing it distance uh i guess my question would be if we can't find that person to teach any of those given classes is distance a better option than finding someplace else i mean that's that's my question one way one other option that hasn't been brought up is you can share teachers possibly with neighboring districts if there's whatever take russell or ellsworth or hoisington or elmwood they need another teacher they don't need a part-time math or they only need a part-time math teacher chance might be an example there's a there's a i think those options need to be explored at least put that up there mr dawson you want it right here you want it under me uh put it under b would that be right put it under well i mean it's what you know it's whatever wherever you want to put it but i think there's a opportunity the problem is finding those teachers for example i'll be honest like one of the things that we have to do with our essay money is 20 of that s or 3 money's got to go toward uh student catch-up or at-risk students i was talking with superintendent and chase about the possibility of maybe sharing uh we've already looking at a reading specialist that will have to pay through wouldn't pay through esser uh what they call like a family advocate person who works with families uh with some of the things that they need help with whether it be care for their kids those type of things so um what else okay so if you're still short on teachers i mean you look at going to one high school then i don't know i don't honestly i don't think that's viable option for our district uh not i'm sorry uh for the simple fact that whenever that's been brought up and i mean the board can make that happen but i don't see it being a something that will come together uh you know whether whatever direction you have kids going both ends say we will not go there so the next line then is do you because we all i mean everybody does want to keep this keep a school i think your final option which is in a sense kind of pull the rip cord is you look at continuing your pre-k three through six in wilson and similar to what some other districts do they send their high school students uh like lewis sends their kids to max not ideal because i eventually think you will just end up bleeding kids throughout the entire that whole building because if say you did it with ellsworth or you did it with sylvan or you did it with poisington wherever you look to do it what's going to happen is parents say well i'm already going to ellsworth or i'm already going to hoisington to work my high school kids going there i might as well take my elementary kid too but if you did that it wouldn't be the parent's choice on what school they go to we would work out a plan there's a contract that you would work out with that what neighboring school they decided to go somewhere else that's there yeah that option is there some of that wood uh i have not have to do they no i have not explored all i've done is get the information i've not reached out to anybody else as far as their willingness to to work with us on it because you got to have a district that's willing to receive and you have to basically i think when i talk to the superintendent in max bill lewis waits all those kids and does that figures out what that amount they get and they send that amount to maxim so i have not reached out to any other districts because to me that's the uh like your last possible resort and that's you know but i want to make everybody aware that those are you know go on hire teachers all right goal two get as many teachers as we can and sub in some distance learning or maybe some online programs this is three i feel like if we hire all the teachers and have everything completely staffed i feel like we're kind of ignoring the configuration committee but you have that study in front of you i feel like when we unpacked that and discussed that we came to the understanding that nobody wants to lose her high school because that was one of the top options so with the sense of empathy we tried to have work towards maybe the blog scheduling sharing teachers kind of the compromise there and we've come to find out that that maybe isn't a viable option either so i feel like it is time to kind of discuss whether we go down to one high school or look at co-oping with another school to really take the configuration committee into account and work towards that next step to be fair i don't i don't think that configuration study felt that it was vital well what was the closing of one of the schools one of the high schools so having sat through that that was a high-ranking option quite frankly among the committee and the survey was put out for everybody it rated well until so we had thrown things at the wall and one of the options was close a high school and everybody was on board with that until it came down to which high school so i think everybody sees the value and the potential savings there but nobody wants to be on the losing end of it which makes it hard to see where the best interest of the kids is playing for me it makes it hard to see that because if it really is about what's best for the kids and we can all see that there's value in that option until it becomes our project that's at risk i don't know it just was interesting to see it go from that ranked really well on the survey when there wasn't a specific building to a total 180 of whoa whoa that's not what i meant i'm not interested if it's my building on the chopping block i'm not interested another concern is the heating and error of what we're gonna have to spend you know that's what you guys gotta figure into it too everybody wants to lose a school but i mean i think i mean obviously none of us want to lose a school and we can we'll have that argument a thousand times over but it always comes down to that i don't think that either either way as a district we can afford to do it is that yeah we'll be saving money and the only way that we save money is if we keep a hundred percent of the students and i don't see that happening either way you know if it's 500 and yeah i mean i don't think either way we did it we're not gonna it's not gonna be 100 loss of the kids from that side of the district but it's i mean at any percentage i don't know if that's if if we can survive by losing that many kids and you look at the percentage of of the percentage of kids that left after we closed question ignoring reasons why it was 30 i mean you know we lost 30 of the kids on the south side or 30 of the kids on the north side it's a lot of money so i feel like though the more important thing is kind of what brought us to having these tough discussions is staffing i mean if we can't keep our teachers happy and keep them where they want to stay or you know if we can't hire because there's such a shortage in the state even hiring enough teachers it doesn't matter we've got the kids if we don't have the teachers to teach them because even if we do distance like we talked about you know her it's a due distance there still has to be some kind of supervisor in the room so it's not even teachers but paris and we're already down paris also so there has to be at the bare minimum a responsible adult supervising these kids i talked to a superintendent the other day and this one scared me because he said i've got two teachers less than 30 years old that are quitting i said where are they going out of education i said what are you going to do because rural area much like ours i don't know i might have to teach a principal might have to teach that is a great concern and then and that's kind of the elephant in the room all the time is if you look at our numbers and this is just from the other this is a little old 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 21 it's numbered right there on the side of my just looked 21 21 staff members district wide that's classified and certified that are eligible to retire as of last december and that number is probably up to 25 or 26 now and think about we have uh 100 employees 108.50 fifty six certified teachers what was that last number that you looked at statewide that's available well right now there's thirteen hundred i know because i looked at it today thirteen hundred positions on kansasteachingjobs.com and uh you know a kid that graduates from ku or k-state or wichita state unless i mean we are very fortunate one of the things that i do thank god about every night is we have teachers like justine de laval up at wilson that's her home she came back and that's where she wants to teach and she's a great teacher we're probably we have a real shot at landing another homegrown uh talent here hopefully in the next day or so uh but as far as like central plains going and competing against uh a maze or a uh valley center for a kid that graduated at wsu it's going to be hard sell because if that's where they grew up or whatever you know just it's it's a tough tough sale um and they don't look at insurance they should but they don't look at insurance uh you do when you're 50 but you don't when you're 22 or 23.
