Thank you very much. We're gonna take >> I have one more letter. Uh, at this point, I'd like to recognize Christine Spado. Dear Christine, there are certain people in a school building whose impact is difficult to measure. Yet, their presence is felt in countless ways. You are undoubtedly one of those people. Tonight is our privilege to recognize and celebrate you as Cliffside Park School District's educational services professional of the year. When I first transitioned into my role as administrator, one of the first things that became clear to me was the profound influence you have in the lives of our students. Every day, students walk into your office carrying challenges, stress, uncertainty, and circumstances that are often invisible to others. And every day, you meet them with compassion, patience, empathy, and unwavering support. You have created an environment where students feel safe, understood, and valued. And that kind of impact reaches far beyond anything that can be reflected in a title or an award.

>> Definitely less than 90 ft. >> Used to baseball. as that's a ground ball to second. A nice play there by Benjer. And the inning does come to a close, but the Clockers do score again. It's two to one. >> Yeah, two two two to one Clockers after after two. Uh they have been the beneficiary of some aggressive base running right now to start this game as Ustaris is able to turn her infield hit into a score in the first and they are able to benefit from Laura Klet's bullet double down the left field line and get her to score on a wild pitch in the second. So, uh, hopefully they can get the bats rolling a little bit on the third, but it's time now to to to be stingy on defense because the good >> meat of the order is coming up here for Westwood in the second.

Should the connection be stronger? How can we make the connection stronger? Um and how do those processes influence special education referrals? Originally, I was looking at whether or not uh it would increase or decrease referrals, but what I found was strong MTSS processes result in um strong special education referrals after interventions have been have been [clears throat] tried. And the theoretical lens I used was coupling theory, which um is more of an organizational theory than it is educational, but I wanted to see if with loose coupling, if you have systems that operate relatively independently, um is there a way that they can become stronger um by remaining sort of independent or does there have to be a strong connection with that? And I looked at this again through a qualitative lens, looking at perceptions of district-level special education leaders. Um and the reason I did this because I wanted to get rich and detailed participant perspectives in my interviews.

Good evening board members, Superintendent Parker, and members of the community. My name is Alicia Cell and I am a junior at North Valley High School. We are all looking forward to the upcoming campus remodel and the installation of upgraded air conditioning systems. These improvements will make our classrooms more comfortable and create an even better environment for students and staffs to learn and work. As we as we approach the end of the school year, our students continue to make great progress. So far, 32 students have graduated and several more are expected to complete their requirements in the coming weeks. Our graduation ceremony will be held on Friday, June 5th at 11:00 a.m. at Bob Reed Stadium. It has been inspiring to watch our seniors work hard to finish their credits and earn their diplomas. We are also proud of students who have made enough progress academically and behaviorally to return to their comprehensive school sites.

But even our sister schools, I didn't, you know, you just don't have There's only so much that you can submit your attention to. If there were substantive changes year to year, often times there it's really just going through the document saying, "Okay, is there anything that has to be changed? Is there anything any updates that have happened in the last year?" And often times there's not. There there aren't huge changes. But I would say this that if um uh Pedro or Heather um or senior cabinet knows that there there are some specific uh important changes year to year, that would be helpful for the board to know. That that to, you know, that okay, basically it's you know, we have we've reviewed our school safety plan or we've reviewed the student the school plan for student achievement and much of it's the same, but here are some important differences.

Uh that being said, the additional position that we would add would be another maintenance uh position that would be more uh on the ground, hands-on type of position. So my question to that is if that additional maintenance person, but now we have an additional maintenance person, and then this other person um that's going to be the director that but you see, you know, some of them when we talk about fields and we talk about grounds, that's more of a 6-month a year Mhm. deal, right? So is that something and what are these what do they do in the off season? I mean, I'm sure there's you got to plan, you have to maybe do some work, although do they do work on the mowers? Do they What what do they do in the off season? >> Yeah, so there's there's a lot of maintenance and and actually what we would probably what we would be looking at doing I especially in the first year is seeing what positions or what parts of our cemetery parts and trees department would actually be a part of this building and grounds division as well.

Again, if she can limit she can limit getting non-free passes and and and force these girls to swing the bat and hope that the uh clockers play some defense behind her, we we can, you know, continue to >> manufacture runs. Like to see a big inning from the clock bats, though. They've been they've been fairly quiet, so we'll see what they can do the second time around in the third.

So, while the sample was not large, um, I wanted to get the perspective of special education, um, if if and when I move forward with this research, I would look look at curriculum directors and and other central office personnel to kind of get more perspectives on this. So, I boiled this down to the research questions and what I found. So, the first research question was asking the special education directors to describe the MTSS process in their districts. Um, what I found was it varied across school and grade levels. Elementary level seemed to be the strongest. Um, secondary systems less structured and more variable due to the nature of middle schools and high schools. There's not the same model at an elementary level. And the differences that I detected and found through these interviews was influenced by leadership both at central office and in buildings from the principal level through to um, curriculum leaders and special education uh, department heads and and supervisors, structure and communication.

Oakfield High School has recently hosted its WASP accreditation visit accreditation visit. This was an important opportunity to showcase our program, reflect our strengths, and identify ways to continue improving. We are currently awaiting the final report, but the initial response from the committee was positive. On April 17th, staff took 10 students from North Valley and Oakview to Shasta College for CTE preview day. Students explored programs such as medical assisting, heavy equipment operation, and welding along with several other certificate programs. This trip gave students a chance to begin thinking about future careers and educational after high school. On May 5th, staff and students attended the Olympics. Our students spent the day playing games, playing bubbles, and handing out candy to athletes. Everyone had a great time and it was a meaningful opportunity to serve others. Our after school program, Bulldog's Backyard, has also been very active. On April 24th, we hosted a backyard barbecue and served hamburgers and hot dogs to staffs and students.

And I think that would be incredibly helpful um because once you do familiarize yourself with um the site plans and one other thing that I would say that would be helpful is on There are certain areas where I think basically school to school should be very much the same. Um and if there are differences like site to site um that seems substantive, like why is that? And there may be really good reasons for that, but like there's um you know, just like in the state of California we have certain um requirements for graduation that are going to, you know, those do change school to school, like district to district, like depending on how many whether they're on a block schedule or whether they're on a traditional schedule, you know, the number of credits needed to graduate may change, but typically, you know, it's like you're going to have government and econ your senior year, right?
