001or Ellen, whatever. >> Okay. Good evening and welcome to the February 17th um meeting of the St. Louis Coastal Unified School District Board of Trustees. Uh, welcome everybody. I will say that our meeting is being translated. If there's anyone in the room who requires translation services, we have headsets in the back for you. Uh, and if there's anyone online joining us online this evening, you'll see at the bottom of your Zoom screen um an icon or globe icon. Just press on that and you will be uh be able to hear the meeting being translated. And now we'll have that translated. Gracias. >> Thank you. All right. The board met in close session and we discussed public employee performance evaluation, anticipated litigation, conference with real property negotiators, personnel actions, and uh also in close session, the
002board voted to deny a government tort claim. The vote was 6 with one absent. Do we have consensus on the order of business? Everybody good? So, next we get to hear from our student representatives. So, um let's see who went first last time. >> Oh, okay. Okay, great. Thank you. All right, good evening. My name is Zoe Fuji and I'm the ASB president of Slow High School. Um, excited to be here tonight as per usual. It's a stormy night. It's cold, but um, excited to be here. All right, just going into slides. First up, we have our academics. Um, recently our mock trial team has just had an incredible season. Uh, we made it all the way to the semi-finals at our county competition. Uh, we unfortunately felt more obey, but congratulations to them. Um,
003we're especially proud of our individual award winners, including uh Santiago Baltadano for uh first place, best pre-trial attorney, and Khloe Elliot, who actually won first place for the courtroom art artist championship, and she's going to advance to the state tournament at Oakland, and she's just done such an amazing job. Her image is in the top middle. She just is such an incredible artist. Um, we also won, I think, six other honorable mentions. Um the team just did such a good job this year. I personally was on the team and I just know everyone worked so hard and it was just so fun to be a part of. Um it was just such an amazing season overall. Uh we also had speech and debate which uh we sent four of our own students to a competition.
004We don't know where it was but it was uh really good. We had Khloe Elliot and Helen White win third place for improv speech. Uh they've also been working very very hard. Uh Chloe Elliot is just uh raking up the awards and just doing such an amazing job and we're just so proud of her. All right, and then looking at our athletics, um we've had a lot going on because it is the end of the trimester, so that means end of all of our winter sports, but it's been an incredible season for all of our slow high school athletics. Um boys basketball celebrated senior night and got an exciting playoff victory over a higher ranked team, which was the Liberty team. And this was their first playoff win in six years, which is really exciting.
005And they're gonna continue in their postseason run on the road. And then we also had girls basketball play close out uh league play strong. And they competed really, really difficult uh tournaments against uh top ranked Bakersfield uh Christian in the playoffs. And then we also had girls soccer go undefeated as the league championships and push into CIF quarterfinals. They have their game tonight and so we're hoping that they all do really really well. Um they had really tough conditions on their senior night. I think it was pouring rain again, but uh we're just so proud of them for doing so well. We also had our wrestling team which had uh standout performances at CIF championships. We had multiple top finishers and athletes advancing to mash masters with uh hopes of qualifying for state. So we
006have a really strong wrestling program. We don't recognize them nearly enough, but they've just done such an incredible job this season. And then moving into the arts. Um, last Friday our AP art and advanced graphic design students had the opportunity to visit San Francisco San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art and Asian Art Museum. Uh, the students had explored diverse artistic styles, participated in scavenger hunts, and they sketched their original works from ancient sculptures uh, and then had other contemporary installations that they all observed. Uh it was just such a really enriching opportunity for all the students involved and all the teachers that made it happen. We just give a big thanks to them. Um I know everyone who went on it really really enjoyed it. Um this was just so much fun. We also have
007over 60 students working hard to bring together the musical year in town. We had the first showing last weekend I believe and it was Friday, Saturday, Sunday night. Um and then I think they have it again Thursday, Friday and Saturday night this upcoming week. Um so just some shameless promo. go buy your tickets. They've worked so hard on this. Uh all the cast and crew have just put countless hours into this. They have just done such an amazing job with this show. And then other updates, uh mark your calendars for TigerFest on March 18th. Um the this open house is a chance to showcase everything that's makes Low High School special. Uh we have really excellent academic programs that we showcase. Uh student clubs, athletic, CTE pathways, and performances. It's just an opportunity to show
008future Tigers what life at slow high school is like and it's always so much fun. Um our ASB class helps work on it and every every aspect of the school is really involved in it. Um it's so much fun. Um we had after that we just we've been pretty busy but we have not a lot of pictures to show it. Um we had our winter formal which went really well for ASB. We have countless lunchtime activities and then we have um our finals coming up so everyone's kind of settling down for that. Um, other than that, yesterday we obviously had no school. It was President's Day. We have a our music school running. We have a choir concert next week on the Tuesday before finals start. And then we have our W uh we have
009our finals Wednesday through Friday of next week. And then after that, we have another Monday off for students. And then we start our third and final trimester. And then again, we have Tigerfest. But all in all, it's been a really great last two weeks. Everyone's been working so hard. All of our academics have been really outstanding and we're just really proud of the student life that's been going on around campus. Uh, thank you. >> Okay. Um, hi everyone. I'm Jos Campo Mateo. I am the ASP president over at Morave High School and I'm very excited to be here again. Um, I think I haven't been to one of these meetings in a while. So, um let's see. Okay. Um last week, um the Morave High School participated in the fourth annual Questa Coral Festival hosted
010by the Qua music program with support from the Fresno State. In addition to having the five having five local choirs sing for each other all morning, the festival concluded by having all voices join together and singing two non-academic um contemporary pieces by black composers in honor of Black History Month. So I have some photos up there and they all seem to have a lot of fun. I was inquired two years ago, so I remember this festival very well. Um, and for mock trial, last week our mock trial team competed in the second round of slow county competition. Uh, on Tuesday, Mororrow Bay was in the fourth seed and delete and defeated St. Lucispo High School, who was in the first seed, qualifying for finals on Thursday. In the finals, the Pirates had to make key
011substitutions right before the trial began. A lot of illness going around. Um, but still, they fought to the bitter end. Unfortunately, they did lose to Templeton High School. Uh, but we had some Mororrow Bay High School members that were recognized for their excellence and qualified for the state tournament on their own. Haley Hart will be representing for Moray High School for courtroom journalism. And additionally, Astred Barnett Davis was recognized as the best prosecution attorney in Slow County and Vina Frier was recognized as the best defense attorney. participants Benny Eastston Carr and Eden Ray won honorable mention certificates as witnesses and Bezley Nuen won an honorable mention for journalism and Sadi J sain hope I'm saying that right won an honorable honorable mention for courtroom art. So overall while he didn't get to stay it was
012still an amazing season for our Mo High School mock trial team and we're all very proud of them. Um, we are scheduled to support some of our Moroay High School students as they plan to attend the upcoming trade related career fair at Santa Maria Inn next Tuesday on February 24th from 400 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Um, the school has made available to all students and are providing transportation. It's just a great opportunity for kids to get to know what they want to do in the future and explore different trades. And then on uh the right there, I included some photos from kindness week last week where our outdoors club um had some flowers and another club had a card making station for people to send kind notes to their friends, which is very sweet. And
013shout out to one of our students this afternoon. Toyota in San Los a Bispo recognized Christopher Martinez Maravia as their youth of the month. Chris is an AVID and NextGen student and a student athlete who is very involved in his church. Along with the recognition, he was given a gift basket and an iPad. We're very excited for Chris and very proud that he's a student at War High School. And then moving on to sports, we have a lot going on. Um, our spring sports have just begun and a lot of their competitions will be kicking off in the next week. For winter sports, girls basketball, boys soccer, and girls soccer have all made the playoffs, which is very exciting. Um, after winning in the opening round of playoffs, our girls soccer team is in Hanford
014this evening playing Sierra Pacific High School. And tomorrow, our girls basketball team will host Portville High School for their second round of playoff game. And a big congratulations to our girls basketball team who won the Sunset League Sunset League champions last Tuesday during their senior night. And in girls wrestling, Abby Toller is a CIF championship, which is very amazing, and we're all excited for her as she will continue to compete at the Masters Competition this Saturday at the Saland Air Arena in Fresno. Uh, and then lastly, coming up next week is National FFA Week, and there will be activities each day. And then on Friday night, there will be the FFA Barnard Barnyard Ball, which they host every single year. and Morave High School is proud to share that over 10% of our student body
015are members of FFA. Also coming up, we have our annual dance fusion show. Shows will be at 6 p.m. on March 5th and 6th. And a little bit further um which is not on the slides, but I love like to share. We have our own open house on March 11th, which is very exciting. We get performances from our jazz band, dance fusion, drama, and they can explore all the different classes for um their future endeavors, which will be very exciting. Um and I believe that's it. Thank you very much for sharing tonight. As always, thank you so much for taking the time to put your slides together to gather all the information and make your wonderful presentation. And I see um Miss Baldo's light on. >> Yeah, I just want to uh congratulate both Slow
016High School and Mororrow Bay High School and also Lagona Middle School and Lossos Middle School for outstanding performances at the mock trial competition. I was there for many of those trials. um many of the uh professors and um others affiliated with St. Louis College of Law participate as you know in uh judging roles or um scoring roles or as coaches. And I also just want to especially thank the many teacher coaches in the district that step up and take this on. It's a tremendous service and a wonderful opportunity for our students and congratulations to both teams. Again, thank you. Um I I know you'd love to stay, but probably have other things you need to do as well. Uh so, thank you. We understand if you need to leave, and please be careful driving in
017the dark, cold, and rain on your way home. Thanks a lot. >> Our next item is 6.01 correspondence. And at the time the agenda was received, we had re the board had received correspondence from Ron Crawford regarding Loos's CSD. And now we come to public comment. So at this time uh anyone who wishes to address the board uh here in person may do so. We we request that you complete a yellow sheet which is back on the shelf by near where you came in and uh bring that to Dr. Patuio who will pass it on down to us and uh you'll have three minutes in which to address the board. You may not seed your time. We keep a there will be a countdown clock that appears on the on the screen in front of
018you so you know where you are. And um I'll ask Mr. Clawson if we have any requests to speak. >> Yeah, we have a request from Anna Massie. >> Hi board. My name is Anna Massie, parent of a Mororrow Bay High School graduate. Um, currently a parent of a junior at Mororrow Bay High and a fourth grade teacher at Pacheo Elementary. Um, I just wrote some stuff down and it's going to be a little bit um not as perfected as I like like it, but it's coming from the heart. And um here it goes. Um our vulnerable populations. Who are they? They are our students that may be socioeconomically disadvantaged. E L foster home and homeless youth, students with disabilities and sometimes one or a couple of those under that umbrella. Um um we are
019constantly thinking of these students and are constantly concerned and we talk about them almost at every mo meeting that I've attended. We are concerned about them academically, emotionally, and socially. These students most likely are going through some sort of trauma as well. And they will be directly affected by these cuts that our board is considering and the cuts to counseling, intervention, and librarians. um and other stuff that might also be working with them one-on-one. These positions have all had some sort of relationship with these students and they have been built over time and essentially when these cuts are going to be made you are breaking up this relationship. for example, counselors, and you can fill in the blank here with any of our intervention teachers or our librarians. Um, when you cut some of these
020positions, sometimes the first to go are those who are um who were hired at the earliest or most recent. So, not only are you cutting that position, but you're also might be cutting this relationship because then there's movement. So, one counselor might go switch to another school and so therefore you're not having this ongoing relationship um for six seconds. So, uh I'm here because I really care about our counselors at each of our sites. For example, at our site, our bilingual counselor in my 29 students in my class, she not only sees perhaps 10 of my kids out of 29, but some of my students, over half of the 29 are also in this vulnerable category. She sees one-on-one some of my students one-on-one. She's starting a friend group because they saw we saw a
021need. And she also today came to my class and taught a bullying lesson. I just really want you to really consider other departments before you make these cuts. Thank you. >> Is there anyone else who wishes to address the board at this time? >> Would you step up and state your name, please? My name is Katie Bravante and I teach music here at Losus Middle School and at Mora Bay High School. And this is the fourth time I'm speaking up um in this calendar year on behalf in spec specifically for our counselors. Um, like Anna said, um, this is a relationship that cannot be replaced and will have such drastic consequences. And um it's I know that you have a a huge heavy burden with these cuts, but I can't stop speaking up for in
022particular this school for Ashley Herni who will be losing her job and in effect putting an un sustainable burden on Jose um the counselor that will be in charge of every single student here. And um like I said last time, I had several students say that those members saved their lives. Um they were in mental health crisis. Um and these students with ICE living in constant fear. um these students with middle middle school is such a tur turbulent time anyway with hormones and everything you know um I just can't imagine the school and these students being able to learn without that support and it and again it's the most um needest neediest of our students and the most disadvantaged and the students that are furthest from justice that are going to be the most impacted.
023And if there's anything you can do to save that one position, you are saving all of these 400 and whatever students we have here at Los Sos Middle School. And the effects are ongoing, right? It's lasting effects. Um, so thank you for listening. >> Anyone else? Thank you. We'll move on with the agenda. Our next item is 7.01 business and budget update date. Mr. Pinkerton, >> it's raining. We got some inclement weather as the board knows. I was I got to tell you, I was very happy when I was sitting at home Monday and the tornado warning came through um that there were no kids or teachers at school that day. So, those are the things. But for the board to know, um BGT team, whenever we have weather like this, every morning they're out.
024They assess all the sites, make sure that things are safe. So, um, and they do that early early on, you know, and check and we're constantly checking CALR and those types of things. So, that will continue over the next few days as we have have this inclement weather. Um, and as it continues um safety plans, there's a couple new laws that came through that address safety plans. In fact, you're going to be um hopefully approving some um board policies tonight that go along with those. So, one of them is a change in uh the child child abuse and mandated reporter education that the district has to provide both to staff um our students as well as volunteers on campus. And so, that'll be something that we'll be putting into the safety plan, implementing it. Um
025and we're starting that process now even though it's not due until July 1st. Um we're beginning that process now with the sites putting it in those types of things. So, I wanted to share that with the board. And then also um immigration policies um everything from again responding on campus immigration enforcement caregiver affidavits parent and staff notification if ICE came on campus those types of things things we have to do mandatory right that we're on those things right now um we've recently put out the rights of parents and students um as well and so a a lot of that information though it doesn't have to start up for a month or two we are moving forward trying to get things in in line and again all of that will also be included in the safety
026plans because of the state law has required it. So again those are the two things I do the safety plan part of it. Lisa is sharing the information with me um and then we're including that as we move forward. I'll be working with Greg in particular on the child abuse and mandated reporter education aspects and to make sure that everyone's properly trained. Um, and I think that's it for business. Yeah. >> Thank you. Next, we have educational services update. Miss Yoshida, >> I wanted to start by celebrating uh Christopher Martinez Maravia as Jocelyn had celebrated being the Toyota student youth slows youth of the month for being a Mororrow Bay High AVID and NextGen Scholar. Um, but I also see FA Perry is here. She is the teacher that went out of her way to
027nominate Christopher and helped him get that award. And so again, it always takes a teacher or a staff member to stand behind each of our student successes. Um, similarly, like Miss Baltadono said, I was at many of the mock trial events over the past couple weeks and did notice the time and energy and effort of all of our teacher coaches, which includes Josh Waldman at Mororrow Bay High, Ryan Mamarella at Slow High, Mason Livingston and Megan Treebell at Laguna because they have two different full mock trial teams, and also Megan Helm here from Slosos Middle School. and they all committed many nights over the last two or three weekends in addition to all the afternoon practices leading up to it and it's just amazing um work and camaraderie across our district. It's exciting to see.
028Um we've been busy in my office having parent meetings if there are problems or challenges with school sites as well as lots of chronic absenteeism meetings with principles and their their office assistants and Mr. Dowler and I. Um, I met with the board policy subcommittee and we'll be talking more about that later tonight. Um, also we've been meeting with St. Louis Abyispo County Office of Education leader Melanie Crawford in developing our direct assistance plan related to the red on the dashboards for our foster homeless youth related to their suspension and chronic absenteeism rates. Um, met with common ground with Dr. Prader and had a good a good meeting. Uh done athletics planning with Mr. Nef and um Mr. Black to help support our high school and middle school athletics programs. Attended a couple of St.
029Louis Coastal Education Foundation board meetings today. Miss Schuffer was there um at CL Smith in their I innovate lab and it was fantastic. Shout out to the CL Smith team for hosting that. um participated in interviews for the Mororrow Bay High principal position. More information to come soon. And finally, um went to the county's educational services council monthly meeting to learn more about curriculum related stuff in addition to all the LCAP and staffing planning that we are doing in my team and office. >> Thank you. And back to Mr. Pinkerton for measure C update. >> Yeah. So on the bond front, I wanted to uh a couple things because I know it came up at the parent leader meeting um in terms of Baywood Elementary School and kind of where we're at in the process.
030So um we had gone out and shared kind of plans for the campus with the the PTA um back in the fall and great showing all those things because Baywood is a major reconstruction like we're building a new school. We're not just modernizing the current campus. um we have to go through a lot more process and sequel process and in this case um a whole um environmental review through the county office um not the county office of education but the county itself county of San Lucispo so we're going through that process now it's it's basically just pushed everything in terms of the planning part by about a year but I want everyone to know from the Baywood community that we're the plans are still on we're still moving forward with those plans um there's just
031little things about the the new parking lot, the driveway, the bus lane, the all of those things we have to work through with the county. Um, and so I'm hopeful that here in the next month or so that process will be completed. We'll have some good agreements and then we can go ahead and continue on with our architectural drawings and plans and take that project to DSA with the hope that next year in 2027 that we'll be able to kick that project off at Baywood Elementary School. So, I just wanted to update the board on that. Um, of course, if you've driven by uh Pacific Beach, you see the walls coming up. It's great. Um, exciting there. DSA itself, the Department of State Architects is pretty inundated with construction projects right now across the states.
032So, tons of of um schools and districts are doing projects and so they've like everything's been pushed back by at least six weeks. So, it's taking longer than anticipated with some of these, you know, phase two projects that we're moving forward. We're still fine. we're still, but it's just taking a lot more time in terms of that. Um, and that's for everybody. They've also had a lot of turnover, a lot of new people, and so it's it's it's kind of been a little disjointed in terms of working with the Department of State Architects right now, but we're again with architects moving forward. I just wanted to share that kind of insight with you what's happening. And then lastly, um as as the board knows, the public knows, we are um working with the CSD in
033study in in Losos uh to try to find an agreement potentially, right? There's a a potential parcel tax that's on the um on the ballot for June that the citizens have brought forward. So, um we'll be very soon bringing a potential agreement with the board that between the the school district and uh the CSD for the potential sale of Sunnyside Elementary School. So, that'll be coming soon. And then also, it seems like the terms for Mororrow Elementary and working with the city um of course with the school board, it it seems like we're getting closer and closer to a potential agreement that um as well will come forward uh for the board to consider. I'm assuming probably in the month of March. So, exciting uh exciting movement on both of those fronts with both of
034those properties and those two communities um which will be again great assets uh for both Thank you, Mr. Pinkerton. Next is item 8.01, a resolution with regard to certificated reassignment notification. You have to speak above the rain. Dr. Puchia. Good, good evening everybody. Uh so tonight uh before you is a resolution and I am seeking board approval to issue notice of potential reassignment of out of out of classroom uh certificate employees pursuant ed code um as outlined in the item. And again, this is providing us flexibility with um as we work through the MTSS um intervention program with ED services and giving us the ability to potentially reassign staff as as needed. So, I'm I'm seeking your approval this evening. >> Right. Thank you. I'd like to go to the public. Is there anyone from
035the public who would like to make a comment on this item? Seeing none, come back to the board. Any board questions? >> I love the thunder. All right. Um then we will This is um you would like action on this this evening. I would seek a motion and a second on this resolution. >> Mr. calendar. >> I move approval of item 8.01, resolution 132526, certificated reassignment notification. >> I second. >> Um, Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. Buckman, >> yes. >> Mrs. Roger, >> yes. >> Mr. Clawson. >> Yes. >> Miss Baltadano. >> Yes. >> And I am a yes. So that motion carries. Uh 6 with one absence. >> Right. We'll move on to the discussion action portion of our program here this evening. And I see everyone lining up to uh let inform us
036about the um midyear LCAP report. Fabulous. So, thank you board. Last time I was here, um, we were talking about the LCAP that we are developing for next school year. Tonight, we are presenting to you a required midyear report that is on this school year's LCAP implementation and expenditures. Perfect. So, if you recall, the LCAP is a three-year plan that we revise each year that describes the goals, actions, services, and expenditures to support positive student achievement outcomes and wellness outcomes that are must address the state and local priorities. So in other words, these are some of the actions, not all of the actions that we do to support closing the achievement gap of some of our students furthest from justice. There are some supplementary resources I want to acknowledge and support the board and public
037in finding um because tonight's report it it's a very long document and so we are only going to be highlighting certain elements of the LCAP midyear report. Um, oh okay. So we are highlighting the key activities and the key metrics to find out how our students are doing. But the comprehensive document is all located on our LCAP overview web page on the district website. Back in 2023, there was a new added requirement for the district to present a report annually on the local control accountability plan and a budget overview for parents before February 28th of each year. So that's what we are doing uh in our presentation tonight. So, um, this slide, uh, does an overview of where we were at budget, um, adoption and first interim. The only thing that changes on this slide
038is our LCFF funds. Those are, um, adjusted for property taxes at first interim, which uh, was presented to you back in December. Our LCFF supplemental and concentration grant, uh, that dollar doesn't change. We get we do an LCFF calculator that provides us this number back in like last March when we're developing the budget and it stays through the whole year. That's the benchmark of what we have to spend um on our supplemental groups and that's where we expect our total um expenditures expenditures to land at the end of the year. And so as we go through the slides, you'll um at some point see some different goal areas and where we're at um specifically around equity multiplier and a new grant we had to add to this. Good evening everybody. Um I'm going to orient
039you a little bit to the report itself as well as tonight's presentation. And so what you see on the slides um before you are really part one, which is the metrics of the LCAP. Um I'll discuss part two in just a second, but that's the bulk of what the 28page report um goes ahead and shares with both you and the public. And th each of those metrics will be um presented as an outcome that might be unknown that's represented with a TBD. And that's because we haven't yet entered the testing window for some of those metrics. It might be in progress. An example of that this evening is our ELPAC assessment which is currently um open and running. And if the outcome is known and that means the testing window has closed and that means
040that you're going to see the data within the report itself. >> Yes, please. So this is the part two that I was alluding to and really um these are short. We have really condensed the number. Um this is very dramatic right under this with all the thunder in the rain. Um so within that what you're going to see is um the expenditures how much we spent up to the first interim budget report and then you're also going to see three different categories of implementation. It might be that something has not yet been started. We don't have very many of those. Many of the action items are in progress and a few are completed. Those are usually things like contracts that we pay out July 1st of every school year. For anyone that's following along in
041the public um via Zoom, the blue link there that says here will take you on to the actual 28 page report. We're not again going to be going line by line this evening. will pull out a few highlights um from each goal area. And we're going to start with goal area number one, which is that all students will achieve substantial academic gains through rigorous, relevant, and engaging instruction and curriculum. So, within this particular goal area, first we're going to look at metrics. We actually have 16 different metrics for this particular goal. here before you. You see four of them. Our CASP ELA, CASP math, CAST, and then also our A throughG completion rate. What this slide does is it shows um sort of the historical trends and where we're hoping to go with our goals
042for this current school year. You'll see over on the right hand side that each of these measures continues to be TBD because we've not yet begun to administer these nor are we able to calculate the A throughG completion rate until after the school year. Here are a few of the actions from goal number one for us to take a look at. You'll see three of them. There's a total of 10 actions that we have within this goal area. And so what you'll see is the action on the left, how much we budgeted for that expenditure, where we were at first interim, and then where we are currently in terms of implementation. And so the top two are in progress, and the third is currently complete because those are assessment softwares that we have contracts for
043that we pay out. This is goal area number two and that is that all of our identified student groups will achieve substantial academic gains through multi-tered system of support or MTSS. So here again we have just a few metrics. There are nine total within this goal area. Um but there are many layers within that because we do break these down by student groups as well. And so you're going to look at a lot of data as you look where were we in 22 23 when we were writing that LCAP. What is our baseline? And then where are we hoping to go? What's our desired outcome for year two? You'll see again that most of these metrics are TBD, meaning that we'll administer them later this spring and our ELPAC did open up on February 1st
044and we're currently in that administration window. And here are the actions that you'll see. These are just three of the actions pulled out from goal two. We do have a total of 20 actions. It's a bulky goal. And within this, you'll see that we are we have a lot of staff that are paid for out of this goal area. And all of these are in progress because we pay them throughout the school year. And we'll go on to goal three next. Goal three is our culture of care. So, SLCUSD will create an intentional culture of care that includes a focus on student social emotional wellness and uh parent connectedness. And these metrics are related to engagement in schools. So, chronic absenteeism data as well as inschool attendance rate. That's the positive attendance at each school.
045Um and our youth truth data. We chose a question on the youth truth survey for elementary, middle, and high school students to monitor and grow. And then the goal in suspension rates is always reducing the number of suspensions we're having for those groups of students. And we don't have endofear data in any of these categories except youth truth was given in October. And you'll see our goal was to increase a 0.1 in each of the areas and we actually um accomplished high school only got halfway there to the full onetenth but um everybody else elementary and middle school made the goal. And the actions here in in LCAP goal three are our elementary and middle and high school counselors. And those are all salaries that are in progress as well as our two wellness center
046um staff members. And it's actually two FTE at slow high because is it is this counting the two credentialed people one at each school or is this with the additional FTE? >> Just >> this is just the two one at each school. Okay. These are for the counselors that are in our wellness centers. and additionally um beefing up our parent educational opportunities with a focus on our EL parents and our socioeconomically disadvantaged families and those are in progress so far this year. Um we provided a discipline and positiva parent session um that was very well celebrated at the very beginning of the school year and then Cababe conference attendance for our DAC and ELAC families that are interested. >> Good evening everyone. For goal number four, if you remember from before, it is specific to
047Pacific Beach based on their equity multiplier funds and based on the demographics of the students there, specific to just that school. And uh for Pacific Beach, it's looking at expanding the STEM and CT course offerings as well as improvement in the college of career preparedness. There we go. I'm sorry. Uh indicator on the dashboard. Oh, I'm sure I didn't. There we go. Sorry about that. Um, and looking at the metrics as uh with the other ones because they are end of the year uh both for the the dashboard that'll come out and then for dual enrollment course participation, we get that at the end of the year with Qua. Uh so those results be to be determined. We'll do them at the end of the year. Um but we were red for college career readiness
048indicator uh previously orange last year. So, our hope is to be orange or better. And then for dual enrollment course participation, um trying to increase that from it was 23 last year to get up to 26%. And again, both those metrics we'll have at the end of the school year. So, goal four is um where we are planning out our equity multiplier funds. Um, Pack Beach gets about 100,000 per year and Chris has set it up for the different programs that he's offering. Um, this year it was CTE construction. He has a medical workplace, digital media, art, and I think he was hoping for, um, driver's education. So, so far, uh, he had $61,000 budgeted and he's spent roughly 26,000. Um part of that is the construction teacher, the medical workplace um staff and the
049digital um media art teacher. He also has bought iPads for the digital art um program in that action. Um increased counseling support. It's 70,000. Right now it only shows 8,000 uh roughly close to 9,000. Part of that is um for our quest to do dual enrollment counselor. He pays um I think a10 of an FTE and then not at this time um but recently a PO was created for county um uh mental health behavioral uh contract for them. So we have a PO set up for them and that'll bring us closer to 70,000. And then he has a um e liaison for 28,000 is um the budget. So far 10 thou or 12,000 has been expended and um this person works with the students and their families to provide direct support. >> Am I the
050next one? >> Okay. And then um if you recall at the governor's budget in June, he gave uh districts uh two pots of one-time money. One of those pots is the learning recovery emergency block grant which um had to be added to the midyear LCAP um to notify you and the public of how we're using those funds. The way we're using the funds is the dual enrollment uh counselor I was just speaking about in the equity multiplier. The balance of her salary will be moved to the learning recovery emergency block grant. And then we have an elementary school counselor and um they they are out on leave and the uh substitute that's covering their leave will also be in part of this uh block grant. And that is it was a little over $300,000 uh
051onetime pot. We were hoping it would be ongoing um at I think it was first interim we had mentioned but in January when the governor um put out his um proposal for next year it didn't look to be in there as ongoing. So we will update you as we find that out. So, this school year has presented lots of opportunities and challenges, and we're super proud to report that of the 43 action items listed, four have been completed and 38 are in progress. So, we do anticipate and we are on schedule to complete all of our 43 action items. We are seeing um great success in increasing our EL reclassification rates. It went from 15% reclassification to 24% reclassification and we're excited to be able to continue that trend um this coming school year. Although
052it's hard, right? Because the more kids if you if you get a bunch of them out of there, then that means that there might be a bigger gap for them to close quickly. But we are hopeful with our EL team. Um they're working hard right now on that LP pack. Um, we also saw that our two dual language immersion sites that had given the STAR assessment multiple years had shown significant progress for our LCAP FOS focus group students. Um, so we're excited about that. Our A throughG completion rates also grew from 60 to 64% at the high school. So that's exciting. And our CTE pathway completion rates are up from 32 to 35%. And we do expect to see a continued increase in that. And finally, um, on the youth truth survey, I already reviewed
053that we had growth. Whoa, you could see lightning out behind you board. Um, just flashed behind you all. Um, our students are feeling uh increased engagement with their schools at at every at every level. Some of the challenges that we are going to continue to focus on is the continued achievement gap between our LCAP focus group students and our non-s socioeconomically disadvantaged um group of students. As you know, chronic absenteeism and attendance rates continues to be a major focus and we're writing a district plan about that. Um we were a little concerned with an in interesting decrease in youth truth with our elementary students. Um they didn't have how should I say this? Their perception of having a strong supportive relationship with their teacher is declining which is unusual in the national landscape and the
054state landscape. Usually elementary students feel most connected to their classroom teacher because they're with them all day. Um so we're going to dig into that and do more more student listening and talking with our teachers and talking with our principles and trying to figure out how to change that um pretty significantly for next year. And then our middle school and high school students had reported on youth truth that they feel very safe with adults on campus, but it's actually their peer relationships. Um, and here it's under the label of bullying, but um strengthening their perceptions of safety and belonging with their own peer group. So, we know shrinking the achievement gap is the board's number one priority and it's our number one priority, too. And despite the upcoming budgetary reductions, um the staff remains committed
055to implementing the LCAP to provide all of the needed services and supports to our students, although the the staffing may look different for that. And we want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our employees, the continued support of all of our parents, and the resiliency of our students as we continue our collective work to ensure excellent outcomes for all. So that's the close of the presentation and we're ready for questions. >> Thank you. First, I'd like to see if anyone from the public has any questions or comments on this. All right. Then we'll come back to the >> You would state your name, please. >> Sure. My name is Angela Avula and I am a teacher here at Losus Middle School and my two kids graduated from Mora Bay High School and I
056was not planning to speak right now. However, looking at what the LCAP was talking about that just goes in my mind, it goes back to our need for counselors. Our students, if they're struggling to feel safe with other students, our counselors play a key role in this. if they're struggling to get to school. And I I feel like we're saying the same thing again and again, but our strength our our counselors are the ones that are making connections with families. They're talking with students trying to figure this out. So again, our counselors play such a key role in helping our students be here at school, be ready to learn. We need our counselors. If we want to see what's going on with the ELPAC to continue, we need our counselors. Thank you. Anyone else? All
057right, we'll come back to the board. Let's see Mr. Buckman's light on. >> Thanks. That's a great report. a lot of good stuff in it. I um I so appreciate that parent engagement is in the report. Um and I I do have a question around it. There's about $45,000 in that in that goal three area and we've spent maybe 20 of it and I'm I'm concerned that we're not spending the money that's allocated. Do you want to talk about I assume CB hasn't taken out there yet. >> So CB has not yet happened but we have um several parents that have signed up to attend. So we'll see that an uptick in those expenditures coming up quickly. >> Okay. And so I appreciate the KBI um I used to attend. It was just an incredible
058conference. But how many how many families actually attend normally? It's like about six I think. >> Yeah, it's about there. I don't have the exact number right now. C my secretary is helping do all the registration but it's a pretty good amount that are going so that that expenditure bill will go up >> right and and so and I appreciate the cabab but it's like you know we're going to get 10 10 families there and we just have so many parents in in in DAC um and so I'm just wondering if there's whether you whether you need more money to engage more or do we need to look at this dollar amount and see how it's being spent. I just I don't know what your sense is of of that. >> Right now, we collaboratively
059develop how to with our DAC about how they would like to spend those funds. And there was a strong feeling um this is the first place I've been at that we provide for parents to go to um a professional learning conference. And so, Miss Shepard and I in my first year discussed with the community about maybe changing that practice and they felt strongly that that was um really a necessary um thing that needed to continue. But we will continue to talk about as um budgets get tight, how we could possibly spread our parent education opportunities across more families when we bring things here rather than paying for families to travel other places. I I hear you, Mark. >> Yeah, it's it's just a thought. And then along those same lines um to the counseling uh
060PAC Beach has access to $70,000 according to what we just saw. He was asking about the $70,000 in the um goal four pack beach is $70,000. But what's the question, Mr. >> My question is only 8,000 has been spent and we're halfway through the school year. >> That's why I said we just created a PO for um the count county behavioral health and so that'll take up the rest of it. >> Great. Thank you very much. Yeah, we my our team is amazing and diligent and careful and will assure every penny gets spent down to the the last penny. Um nothing will be returned to the state or the government. >> Thank you very much. >> Anyone else? Right. Thank you. Thanks very much. >> All right. Next on the agenda is uh let's look
061at some new and modified secondary courses. Mr. Nef, >> thank you. Let me come up here again. This is our annual time where we look at new and modified courses provided by our secondary courses. For this year, it's just high school. Um and so we look at them in the document that was provided. I'll just highlight some of the um main points with it. You can see for Moral Bay in the intermediate product innovation design and advanced product innovation design. That's still Mr. Wendorf doing his engineering stuff, but Miss Bedall and I worked with him um early this year to redesign a little bit of those to better align with precision manufacturing, which is um what we've been doing with Mr. Black and Trust Automation and some of those opportunities. And so he'll be interested
062as he does some of those tweaks to get his students uh more aligned with those opportunities as well as they will both be dual enrollment courses. Um so they'll get college credit for those as well. So that's pretty cool. Um updates that that he's doing that we uh work with them on. Uh also personal finance is well dependent on how the board will vote to update graduation requirements may become uh new high school graduation requirement but not till the class of 2031. We're actually getting a year ahead jump on it. And so Mr. James Mtosa has worked with teachers from both high schools uh social studies departments um to start working on the curriculum and the idea of launching it next year will give us an extra year for those teachers uh to work through
063it before it has to become a course offering in the fall of 27. So next year will be just an elective course um primarily for upper division students um probably a little more relevant for 11th and 12th graders but um inevitably anybody can take it. It'll be elective credit. We are looking into the possibility of having an earned dual enrollment credit. Someone working with Queston just as an added incentive um to again give us a a extra year for those teachers to work through that course and then it'll become um an offering uh for students for their graduation requirement in fall 27 because it comes a graduation requirement for the class of 2031. Um if we up if and when we update well we will update our board policy on graduation requirements. Um, so that's
064a thing we're adding in uh for next year. And then you can see the patient care becoming a CT courses that is currently uh emergency and sports medicine. So municipal working with slow high and that teacher to um have that become a uh CT pathway in in healthcare and medicine which is a pretty popular one and it aligns with um our economic sector in our reach 21 initiative of healthcare. Uh so that's a cool move. As well as I want to mention the foundation uh is helping us with some purchase of some equipment that uh Miss Robertson the foundation has uh to support that. So that'll be um a nice nice change. Um and Miss Bal worked with the St. Louis teacher to go down and visit uh Roy Grand High School has a patient
065care pathway that's been around for quite a while. A pretty cool building and some stuff. So um Miss Bal took the teacher down spent time with Mr. Kuhano was a teacher there um to check that out. So, we're excited about those opportunities. And then, uh, you'll see towards the end a couple additional math courses at SL High School. And so, as I mentioned in the Friday focus, these come as we're looking at some changes to, um, changing some some math courses at S High School. One primarily is the five credit issue that now is um, becoming more of an issue with CCG or California College initiative uh, with Cal State Apply that automatically applies students to Cal State. It does not recognize three and a third credit courses. Um, it struggles enough with co with
066trimester alone because there's not very many trimester schools out there. Um, we actually were able to connect with uh, Sage Creek High School, which is another trimester school that has a similar program to look at what they're um, doing. Uh but that that is driving this. Um as well as some tweaks we want to make to allow for students if they want to enter into advanced coursework to not having to do summer school courses, if they want to start an algebra and complete calculus by their senior year. That currently isn't uh in the current model they're able to do that. And so these two courses are there because we still want students staying in math during the whole year, not having breaks. Uh and so by making the five unit uh course change we become
067algebra and geometry become A and B. Well now we'll also have then algebra 1 at the start for students to begin with and then algebra 2 foundations is at the actually end of geometry prior to going into algebra 2. And so they what they do is they provide for students still being in math all year long. If they're in the advanced track then they just instead of the foundation courses they just continue on moving towards the calculus pathway. Um, and then students that if uh start in the accelerated pathway in middle school uh can get through calculus BC um with it as well. So, a few tweaks there um for those math courses. That's why those exist or that's why you're seeing them on the document in front of you. And with that, I'm happy
068to entertain any questions and also hopefully get approval. >> Thank you. First, we'll go to the public. Anyone from the public wishing to speak with us about this? We'll come back to the board. Any board questions, concerns, comments? Mr. Anger. >> Well, I just there there are a couple things you didn't mention, Dan, which I I just think are really cool. I think the field studies Oh. >> class has has some real potential and some really exciting opportunities for kids. And then I noticed cosmetology, >> you know, again, it's I'm happy to see this focus on the CTE on the CTE course pathways. um your printmaking, design, just just some really exciting stuff here. I know that that every course may not be offered every year, but um correct. This >> this I think will
069help help our students not only um create career skills, but hopefully help them engage more in school too. So yeah, >> um I would Well, I see this is fault scutter. I was going to make a motion, but I will wait. >> Actually, if you don't mind, I'd like to actually say something about the field studies course if that's okay because I think it's a super cool opportunity. So that is specific to summer school and so what that is is it's a it's happened the board there was a presentation last year um some students at moral bay went out to Catalina if I remember right uh and so it's uh in conjunction with UC Berkeley and then the county office of education uh Dr. Jokosski is was uh with the presentation as well. They they
070do a partnership where they do some matching funds. Uh and so Maria Hopkins is our sheltered ELD teacher, but she also has a biology credential and teaches science at Slow High School became interested in it. And then that sort of got the wheels turned and we've been talking with her and and the Slow High staff and then also Dr. Ksky as well. And so the idea for both sites because it'd run through summer school, but the experience we want to do a uh the first session for ELD Abbid NextGen sheltered ELD students um would go up. It's up in Northern California around Mendescino County where they basically they're in um they're in class for a week, then they go up for a week and they conduct studies. It's with in conjunction with UC Berkeley and
071then they come back and sort of digest the and the data and do the reports and all that. And so they get a a true field science exper um experience which is super cool. And uh so working we met um I met with her uh and Jane Holly is helping to do summer school principal ship last week to kind of start getting details of what is all the things we need. Um I spoke with Miss Robertson from Foundation is is looking to support as well as Dr. Coxy will continue um with some of their they do some grants so they do some funding for that. So, um, still trying to nail down. It's a lot of logistics when you talk about taking groups of kids and going out camping and collecting, um, real research data
072out in the field, but super cool opportunity as a science teacher myself, like super excited for it. So, thank you for mentioning that. Something there's a lot of logistical things to still work out, but super cool experience. >> Thank you, Miss Badon. >> Thank you for explaining that, sharing that. I think that's a really perfect example of making a decision, a policy decision with an equity lens. So, that really makes me really pleased that there's going to be a session dedicated to our NextGen students so that we're not just introducing this really cool opportunity, but we're making sure that everyone has access to it or students that historically have not had access to it will also have access. So, thanks for that. And I also wanted to thank you. I had a lot of questions
073about this document and you took the time to go over some things with me. Um, can you just say a little bit more? You mentioned it and you covered most of it in your presentation, but you mentioned, you know, over the next few years there's going to be some analysis and um of of our CTE offerings um to ensure that they are really aligned to those reach initiatives. the industries in our local community that we know are growing and and hiring and um and we're already starting to do some of that. Um and then also real with a real focus on you know what pathways are going to lead to head of household jobs. >> Yeah. So first and foremost electives CT course offerings are the same are are based on student enrollment, right? Students
074choose to go into that. So that's that can fluctuate from time to time. Um but overall as as we do more work in these areas and things like um the projects or the the course and things that Mr. Black is doing with trust automation, we see more of those industry partnerships coming um together or those opportunities coming up. That's Miss Bedall and I work with th those departments and those teachers to see, you know, where where can we align better align where can we ultimately for Miss Bedall and I it's it's about getting experiences for students, real world experiences while they're still in high school to see is that something that they really want to do and having those opportunities um to then go after high school into head of household positions. You may or
075may not know my son did that. He he was in the first program for the ACI um collaboration with Qua and he's now a jet mechanic at ACI and doing well. Um my dad was a CT teacher. So I I grew up watching him place kids. He was a welding teacher here locally and placing kids in welding shop. So it's it's near and dear to my heart. Um and so that's you'll if you remember we did an apprenticeship course um that was approved last year for this year that we're looking to utilize. We are utilizing and we'll expand even more. Um I think as I mentioned in my communication with you, Mr. Whmer is looking to do it next year. Uh Theo at the at um Moral Bay will do it next year of getting
076the ability to get kids once they've sort of finished kind of that end of that pathway to start getting placed in uh working opportunities with industry. And so that's what we'll continue to do um as as things change and develop and and we analyze, you know, enrollment and and looking at those things. But ultimately, yes, those we're looking to align with local industry sectors as well as um you know, as we get I think we're going to get a lot more opportunities to partner within local industry um as Mr. Black and our partnership with Trust has done really well and continue to do well. Uh we'll continue to align to those opportunities. >> Yeah, I appreciate that. I appreciate all the the intentionality that you and Miss Bidal are putting towards that um focus. Thank
077you. >> Thank you. Okay. Um I I would also like to point out that we're in the fortunate position of having more and more teachers eligible to teach a greater variety of um of program of coursework that you know we didn't have before that we are able to take advantage of our talent in different ways. Um and and I'm going to look at just make a comment about the field studies that is a little bit a different view that I think it can provide many of our those students who participate especially those who um uh are some of our atrisisk kids who might not otherwise have an opportunity to be in nature. that way I don't think it's I agree that we need students are going to need to leave school and find work but
078it is the world is not a whole human is not about just you know on the pathway to work and work to school and find a job and you know I really appreciate that we are are or I hope that others also share a view that these are opportunities for our students to experience the world differently and gain a different outlook, a broader outlook on what is out there in the world to help them be the best humans they can be. that um and provide uh these experiences that will tide them over in all aspects of their life and not just go out and find a head of household job which the work is important but so is the opportunity to explore and have these experiences and I'm uh grateful that we're able to provide
079that to some of our kids. So >> agreed. I'll say it once and I'll keep saying it again. I'm all about opportunities for kids. So even if it doesn't end up that that's what they do, at least they've had the opportunity, right? So I think that that's the that's where I come from of trying to produce or trying to create opportunities for students so then they can choose what they want to do postsecary um whatever that is. So agreed. >> Thank you. All right. With that, this is an action item. Um uh I think Mr. Aner, you had expressed an interest in making a motion. >> Sure. I'll I'll make a motion to approve item 9.02 secondary new and modified courses. >> I'll second. >> We have a motion by Mr. Anger, second by Miss
080Baltadano. Uh Mr. Anger, >> yes. >> Miss Baltadano, >> yes. >> Mrs. Roger, >> yes. >> Mr. Clawson, >> yes. >> Mr. Buckman. Now, I'm a yes. Motion carries 6 with one absence. >> Thank you. So, moving on to um the initial proposal of the California School Employees Association. Dr. Pat. >> Yes. Good evening. The first uh item uh for the board's consideration and for public uh viewing and information is the CSEA and SLCUSD Sunshine proposals for bargaining for the 2627 school year. Thank you. Is there anyone from the public who would like to speak on this item? All right. Is there anything any questions or comments from the board? >> Right. Thank you. Uh next >> the next item is the are the proposals from our bargaining partner SEIU and the district's uh sunshine
081proposals for bargaining for the 2627 school year again in accordance with um ED code for public review uh and the board's review. >> Thank you. Anyone from the public wishing to address the board on on 9.04? 4. >> Any questions or comments from the board? >> All right. >> Thank you. >> Your work here is done. Thank you. All right. 9.05. Dr. Prader is the CSBA delegate ballot. >> Yeah, we're fortunate to have the sole um person u for the CSBA delegate assembly. We're proud to have uh Mr. Buckman on the ballot to continue his work on the CSBA um delegate assembly. And uh I I encourage you to vote for Mr. Buckman. >> All right. Anyone from the campaign manager? >> Anyone from the public on this item? All right. This is a uh
082an action item to take a vote on this. Any questions or comments from the board? All right, then we need a motion. Mr. Clawson, >> I would love to move that um we proceed with the CSBA delegate ballot as proposed. >> I would second that. So, we have a motion by uh Mr. Claus and a second by me. Uh, Mr. Clawset, >> yes. >> I am a yes. Mr. Anger, >> yes. >> Miss Baltadano, yes. Mrs. Roger, >> yes. >> Mr. Bachmann, >> yes. I'd like to abstain. I feel strange voting for myself. >> You can't. That is not a reason for an abstension. You need to vote one way or the other. >> All right, I'll vote yes, but I I want us all also to remember that Mr. Anger um while I'm happy
083to be a delegate, Mr. longer served as um the president of CSBA which is I mean we're this sized and the state of California is this size and it was wonderful those years. >> Thank you. All right, we are moving on to the board policy portion of our program this evening and Miss Yamashida I see you up there with 1445. We'll start with that one. Yeah, I'm going to open with a little background information board to start. Um, the California legislature amended ED code 234.7 to specifically strengthen protections for students, their families, and staff. and school districts must revise their policies to be in alignment with ED code 234.7 as well as the attorney general's revised model policy language by March 1st. And because this is our last board meeting prior to the March 1st
084uh deadline to submit our policies to prove that they are updated. Um, I'm going to ask that the board consider both this as a first reading and then wave the option of a second reading and just adopt the policies. Tonight is going to be my recommendation for all three of these policies. The first policy is actually a brand new policy uh BP1445 called response to immigration enforcement. And that's why the policy is completely in black because they are not revising or striking through or making any recommended changes. There was a policy in the 5,000 for something that has um been eliminated and they put it in the community relations because they felt like this is bigger than just related to students but instead wanted to move it to community-based um board policies. And essentially it
085is um discussing what our response to immigration enforcement is and will be in our school district. Is there anyone from the public who wishes to address us on this? We'll come back to the board. I have one um suggestion or idea if the board is willing to entertain it. On the last paragraph on page two of that policy, this is my leftover days of being on the policy committee. Um there is a sentence about now I need to pull it up again. Um, >> yeah, I don't see it at the bottom. >> Oh, that's the last paragraph, the full paragraph. The super design or designation develop procedures for may provide training to staff on I think that was one and I prefer saying shall provide regular training so that >> I don't see where you
086are muffer. I'm sorry. >> Let me see if I'm >> Yeah, >> that's right. >> Oh, got it. Okay. >> Yeah. Making it not optional. And by making it regular, that would then cover new entering staff and teachers. So that um that that's my that's my suggestion. >> Whatever. Everyone okay with that? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> I'm sorry. Say it again, Erica. >> I would agree with that. >> Yeah, I I would agree as well. >> And Marilyn, you're okay. >> Wait. >> Okay. So, would the board care to undertake a vote to approve it with the amended shall? >> Yes. I would make a motion to approve this with the uh with that change as set out on the that paragraph >> and I'll second. >> Okay. >> Well, can I have a
087question? >> Sure. >> Um I'm curious uh about one of the paragraphs. It said we we talk about uh about the procedures for letting uh immigration immigration agents for example on our campuses, right? But then there's a then there's one of the paragraphs that says, "However, district staff shall not obstruct, interfere with, or otherwise impede an officer or employee of an agency conducting intervention enforcement who nonetheless enters district provided transportation a non-public area of a district property or facility or non-public area where any district sponsored program or activity is occurring. Tell me more. Can you tell me more about that particular um condition? Um, are we saying then that once they're on once they are lawfully on our school grounds that it's it's hands off? What is this? What does this mean? >> Well, that
088is meaning that we don't want any our staff members are not expected. Our our staff members must act lawfully under the direction of law enforcement officers. um and they they should not put themselves in harm's way or danger. We at the superintendent's office, our staff has been trained multiple times this school year and last school year to were a an officer reportedly show up to one of our school sites which has not occurred and and we are very hopeful that will not occur. It hasn't happened widespread across California to to date. But should an officer approach a school, the front office staff, the principal, as well as we've been working on getting figuring out how to get our athletic coaches and all of our afterchool daycare staff trained to um tell them to pause and
089wait, which they're required to do, and show us the subpoena, the warrant, the badge, and all of the things. And then the superintendent's office will immediately get engaged both physically on the site as well as engaging with our attorneys. and it could take a while before we establish the legality of any warrant that they possess. So, should things proceed, it it would not be a spur-ofthe- moment quick thing if it is going the way it's legally deemed it's supposed to go. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. Um, I'm sure that there's a very simple answer for this, but I just am unclear on it. How would we define what is a public and a non-public area? >> So, we had to go through and put up signage in our offices that says this is
090our public space, thereby defining everywhere else in our campuses as our private school spaces. And so technically any public member is only allowed into our front office welcome visitor center and we've added signage thanks to BG&T and Ryan's team defining what those public spaces are. >> Okay. So if uh and our our fields and playgrounds then would be non-public spaces. >> Yes. Yes. officially correct. Yes, we we possess rights over those spaces >> during school hours, >> but if there were to be on the weekend or at a soccer practice or te-ball, I don't know, uh you know, we do have community members and children present. And if immigration uh and customs enforcement was to come after school hours, would they enjoy the same rights to come onto our our property? >> I don't believe
091that they would because that's still our property or whoever filled out the field use forms, our community, if the community members went through our appropriate field use permit situation. I don't believe so, but we would have to check with our legal counsel at that point. >> Yeah. I just would like our community members to know uh when they are safe >> and and uh secure and to get that information out. And I think there may be considerations around what if am I safe after school hours participating in athletics or whatever on a school field? I'd appreciate an answer to that. >> Okay, we can look into that, get clarity around that in advance. >> Thank you very much, >> Mrs. Roger. In the meantime, are you comfortable um because we're under the wire legally uh
092with voting on this tonight and receiving additional information? >> Yes. And please >> can get that info at some point. >> Yeah. And remember that even though we adopt this policy tonight, if you care to make changes in the near future, we can just bring it back to the full board for another revision. It's not like this is set in stone forever. >> This wouldn't be a change. I guess it would just be a clarification. >> Yeah. >> And that we can make people aware. >> Mr. Buckman, >> so I have to take this opportunity. I've enjoyed working with Erica on the board policy. um committee to review them. But the urgency on this I think is um is plain. Um this is uh this is a statement from the internet. Following the January recision
093of the federal sensitive locations policy, US immigrations and custom enforcement agents can now conduct enforcement actions on or near school grounds. So the this policy just becomes more critical and I almost understand why there's a I do understand why there's a deadline. So I think it's wonderful being a member of the committee I usually don't try to make the motion. So >> um I there's a motion on the table. >> Okay. >> Is there a second as well? >> I did. Yes. >> Oh, terrific. >> So, it was a good thought on my part. >> It was. You're You were very helpful. So, I made the motion. I vote yes. Mrs. Roger. >> Yes. >> Mr. Buckman. >> Yes. >> Mr. Clawson? >> Yes. >> Miss Baltadon? >> Yes. >> Mr. Ringer? >> Yes. >>
094Okay, that carries 6 with one absence. >> Thank you, board. >> There's a long gap in between there. >> All right. Next we have uh board policy 5125 >> and this uh board policy is related as it is our board policy on student records and um they are updating that pursuant to education code 49076.7 a district is prohibited from soliciting or collecting social security numbers or the last four digits of social security numbers of students or parents or guardians. We we already didn't do that in our practices, but it's it's memorializing that here. And also um unless the an exception applies as amended by AB495, it prohibits the collection and disclosure of information or documents regarding the citizenship or immigration status of any students or their family members. So, we are not allowed to ask
095for nor disclose the immigration status of students in our care. >> Anyone from the public on this one? >> Great. >> And just to clarify, this one was an existing policy that has been revised in accordance with to the >> new laws. All right. Any board discussion, Mr. Clawson? >> M. Mr. Hunger, >> so as you know, I wrote you an email this morning, and I'm curious, um, if you could just generally discuss how we assure the safety of students, particularly electronic student records, um, given the high rate of of hacking and things like that. And I know you responded to me and I I think just generally to reinforce the idea that we that we take this very seriously and and generally what are some things that we do to protect student records and
096the sanctity of those things? >> Yeah, I would say that um I immediately reached out to Jeremy Kellish who provided a two-page Google document of all the different layers of protections that we have on our student um data. It is a requirement of furpa and copa and all of the things um that certain systems like we have double layers of system fails. We also have our own IT department staff trying to break into our own systems to find if there are weaknesses etc. Um Jeremy Mr. Kellish's background is in security um for networks etc. And so they go to great lengths in our IT department as well as working with and training all of our staff members about what PPI like personal protected information is about what they're allowed to share with student information and
097different systems. >> I and and Jeremy is considered I believe a state expert in this field is he not? >> He is indeed. And in fact, when the county office of education had their um breach, he was immediately brought in to help the county team um support their work in their measures. >> Anyone from the public with questions on this? >> Mrs. Roger. >> If there are no questions, then I would move to approve item 9.0. 07 proposed revisions to board policy 5125 student records. >> I'll second that. >> Right. We have a motion by Mrs. Rogers. Second by Mr. Clawson. Mrs. Rogers. >> Yes. >> Mr. Clawson. >> Yes. >> Mr. Anger. >> Yes. >> Miss Baltadano. >> Yes. Mr. Buckman. >> Yes. >> I'm a yes. 601 absence. Thank you. And two down,
098one to go. >> Yeah. Thank you, board. Finally, this one is related to the release of student directory information. Um, this is an existing board policy that they are trying to clarify um what we are allowed to release if anything. It's directory information only and it's um if a parent chooses not to have their their child's information released, they make that request to us at the beginning of the school year and we don't release the child's information. Is there anyone from the public who has a question or comment on this? You need to come up to the podium and state your name, please. >> Hi, my name is Fay Piachi. Um, I teach at Mororrow Bay High School. Um, I'm just thinking about when I look through Aries and what comes up for me and
099I'm wondering around about markers that may not appear to be information that can be accessed that can be read as markers. I I'm a little hesitant to say um It's this >> I think I'm going to write people about it later. >> Yeah, this I was just going to say this sounds like this sounds like a little discussion where questions could be answered. So, thank you. >> Thanks. >> All right, then we'll come back to the board. Any questions or comments on uh 9.08 08 on board policy 5125.1. You okay? >> Okay. Oh, Mrs. Rod. >> Oh, I thought my light was on. I'm sorry. Um I'm I'm wondering if parents elect to opt out of having any information about their child um >> released, >> exposed or released. uh how exactly what is the
100vehicle for that? >> In our annual parent notification in Aries, each year when parents do it, there's a box that they check and that's what automatically notifies us as the school district entity that they don't want that information released. But that's not the only way to do it. And oftent times if we have media on site like we did um a couple weeks ago, we will allow them to interview children, but then we individually reach out to each of the parents and families and make sure that it's okay for their their child's quotes to be used, etc. to go kind of beyond trying to protect their rights as as parents. um anytime they're at a a a meeting about their child, they could let the school know verbally that they don't want their child's information
101to be released and then the staff can go into Aries and check mark the box and then when reports are run, that child's information would be left out. >> So I I can go and reread the policy, but uh I believe this was the one that talked about release of information to the military. >> It does. Yes, there's a paragraph. Colleges and prospective employers, including military recruiters, shall have access to a student's name, address, email address, and telephone number unless the family um or if the student's 18 years or older requested that their information not be released. So, that is the standard that it has been um previously, but this is Yeah. code. So, I'm I'm old and I remember parent packets, information packets going home, >> you know, with students. I guess this is
102all done on Aries now. >> Yes. Um, but I'm wondering if if some parents aren't catching it, are not seeing that they have that opportunity to um to uh hold personal their child's information. So, I'm wondering is if it would be possible to send something home at some point that just reiterates that it is possible for them. >> I can send a midyear reminder in our family communication to families to reach out to their >> I don't know if if my colleagues support me in that. >> Can I just comment on that because I fill those out every year. I'm familiar with them. I don't think you can get past go without checking like you have to read it and there's a series of things. Do you want to be included in this directory? Are
103you allowing your student to talk to the media? Would you allow your students name um to be associated with a piece of artwork that's publicized? So, you kind of have to go through all the questions in your native language to get to to to finish the process is my experience. >> In the time I've been here as well, I'm not aware of any um family that was upset or felt like information was shared inappropriately in the time. concern, I guess, is not about um artwork and, you know, what have you. That's all very benign to me. But I I would not want my son's information released to the military recruiters, for example. So, I want to be sure the parents have the opportunity to opt out of that if they choose. >> Well, I I
104believe Erica's correct. It is it is part of our annual enrollment procedures, but I see no harm in adding it to the bulletin, the family communication this month. If that would please you, >> is there support for that? >> Yeah, I >> we're on it. >> Yeah. >> Love you. I I 100% uh support Maryland and when it goes to the annual notification to parents and moving on that is what I what I do with 180 school districts and I can tell you as much as we want but some parents just check check check and don't read it. Um some parents unlike Eric I'm sure you read every every word of it. Um, and so I'm just going to support Maryland 100% and I don't know if we can send it home. I'm looking at
105the the type of board policy we're approving tonight and then following that up with releasing information. And I think Marilyn's right on. We just we just need to make sure parents get this as much as they can. >> I believe we still need a motion. >> We do. We need a motion and a second for um board policy 5125.1. Mrs. Roger, >> you're seeking a motion. >> I am so seeking. >> Okay. So moved. >> Okay. >> All right. We have a motion by Mrs. Roger, a second by Mr. Buckman. Mrs. Roger. >> Yes. >> Mr. Buckman. >> Stronger. >> Yes. >> Miss Baltadono. >> Yes. >> And I'm Yes. Motion carry 61 absence. All right, we are moving on to the action consent agenda. Please let me know if there's anything you need pulled.
10610.01 acceptance of donations. >> Please 10.02 approval of certificated and classified personnel item. 10.03 approval of furniture and equipment request. 10.04 TW 20 2026 27 ELOP plan 10.05 20 2026 27 transportation plan >> please pull 10.05 >> Okay. So I would like a motion on 10.02 10.03 and 10.04. >> I move approval of items 10.02 to 10.04. >> I'll second that. Thank you. Uh, you have a motion by Mr. Runger, second by Mr. Clawson. Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. Clawson, >> yes. >> Miss Baltadano, >> yes. Mrs. Roger, >> yes. >> Mr. Buckman, >> yes. >> And I'm a yes. 6 that motion. And Mrs. Roger, you pulled 10.01. >> I did. Thank you. And it's just really brief here. Um I we're accustomed to seeing financial donations to our various schools and we're very
107appreciative for those, but I don't often see inind donations. And so I wanted to make specific notice that uh food and nutrition services received two truckloads of plants for the Bishop's Peaks Garden from the Clearwater Color Wholesale Nursery. Um, and that was a very generous donation. Uh, and I wanted to note it. And that said, I'll move approval of item 10.01. >> Thank you. Um, I'll second a motion by Mrs. Roger, second by me. Mrs. Roger. >> Yes. >> I'm a yes. Mr. Buckman? >> Yes. >> Miss Baldano? >> Yes. >> Mr. Clawson? >> Yes. >> Mr. Anger? >> Yes. >> Motion carries. 601 absence. And uh, Mr. Buckman pulled 10.05. >> Yes, thank you. Um I just had well I had three things. One, I noticed in this transportation plan there was a statement
108um about the district working with regional transportation authorities, air pollution control districts, air quality management districts. And I just I think this is a fine example. I think this is a a place where we need as uh school districts, mental health, we we need to work get ourselves if we had the staff on local committees, on local boards, on local commissions. Um we have one of the largest population groups and I'm just so glad that we're on this this we include this other thing. We have electric 11 electric school buses right now. They have 11 electric school buses. So, I want to look this up. The n just I'll go through this as quickly as I can. National impact of school buses. There's 40 480,000 diesel school buses heavily air pollution. Estimates suggesting transitioning all
109buses. Total greenhouse gases. School bus fleets contribute 8.4 million metric tons of greenhouse gases. Um and then just da and then just towards the end it talks about in cabin air particulate matter levels inside conventional school buses can be significantly higher than outside especially during idling. So I really want to congratulate staff for doing this. Um, and I I'm just I'm amazed that when you when a school bus is driving around, it pollutes more than a the kind of diesel truck that's tractor trailer to pulling those big rigs. So, thank you. I'll move approval of 10.0 10.05, >> Mr. I I just have a question since you brought it up, Mark. Um, when I'm looking at the revenue calculations, I see estimated 60% reimbursement. So is that the state reimbursement now? >> That is state
110reimbursement. Yes. >> And and this I just want to point out to people who might not know this that this is an issue that was fought long and hard for many years to try to get reimbursement for school transport, home to school transportation. And and we've had so many parents talk to us about how important hometo school transportation is. Um and and I'm just excited that we're going to get two and a almost two and a half million dollars for something that's critical for schools. So that's great. I I would second Mr. Buckman this motion. >> Yeah, thank you. And if I can just um and I just want to point out so I actually sat on the CSBA um electric school bus task force and so it's kind of this is kind of near
111and dear to my heart. Thank you. >> You have a motion by Mr. Buckman and a second by Mr. Anger. Mr. Buckman, >> yes. >> Mr. Anger, >> yes. >> Mrs. Roger, >> yes. >> Miss Baltadano, >> yes. >> Mr. Clawson, >> yes. >> And I am a yes. Motion carries 6. Right. Is there anything for uh the advanced agenda and now it is time for reports by board members? Mr. Buckman? No. All right. Well, this is >> I'm sorry. Actually, I do have just something really quick. Um, I wanted to uh thank the school district on behalf of the NAACP um for allowing us to use the um two facilities, J2 sometimes and the commons at the high school um that was used just the other day for celebration of Black History Month. So,
112on behalf of the NACP, I'd just like to say thank you. >> All right. Thank you everyone for attending.
