037explaining their creations and their understandings we recently held our science fair our fourth and fifth graders were exploring scientific Concepts like the air flow impact on airplanes and the chemical makeup in soil each presentation was a testament to their dedication their effort and their inquisitiveness these presentations reflect not only the academic growth of our students but also their their ability to articulate ideas and engage with their peers and an audience through their presentations our students have demonstrated resilience collaboration risk-taking and a willingness to explore new Concepts as Educators we are so proud to witness their progress and to look for we look forward to supporting their continued development as confident communicators and lifelong Learners the year has flown by our students have sprouted in height and have grown immensely in their confidence and we look

052we are having some change orders for some deeper footings and prepping for electric Chargers turf phase two all of our sites now will have turf um even Abbott Baywood and Beford who didn't have any um grass before um restrooms we've started our restroom modernization project um currently we have 5.6 million committed um with open or completed contracts that includes Sunny Bray Sano Park Laurel and Northshore view um preschool restrooms um see here at the bottom under funding sources we are showing um the solar IRS um rebates from um the act in 2022 also we're available to get some local grants so that's um showing 4.9 million in um pending funds uh once our projects are completed we've also earned some interest and that is shown below at this point in our bond we step back
053to really see what we have completed or is in progress and we're really going through and checking those boxes from our 2020 immediate priorities it was called the facilities master plan for the next decade um when we see this modernization money coming in we're really starting to look at updating our facilities master plan so we can plan on how to spend those dollars and also to prep um for what we hope would be a future Bond here's some exciting photos so um you've toured the site at multiple times this is B ditch science and drama on the left uh we are we just toured the science teachers through and they got to pick their new furniture for the classrooms on the right is the drama classroom Sunny Ray mul purpose room we had the ribbon

055multi-purpose room um on the right um because of our soil out there we're having to drill and install very deep footings so this has been in progress this building is scheduled to complete in the summer of 25 meal Heights we've just started the construction they're starting to dig the footings also summer 25 completion solar shade structures here's a view of Burell um from a drone shot and on your on the leand side is Bayside pictures restrooms here's the sunny BR multi or sunny BR preschool restrooms um they're shared by two different preschool classrooms and I want to say thank you to my team this is not possible without out the hard work and dedication of our staff I just want to thank them for all the hard work they're doing now and the summer ahead
056of us thank you thank you you um are there any clarifying questions from the board on this well I just asked that question because I have a question um on the slides that show the budgets for the two bonds at the bottom it shows funds not allocated and so if I add those two up it's almost 100 million between the two bonds is that just um is that money that's basically extra money basically that we get to do something with at some point so it's currently not allocated into a project yet you're muted you're on mute can you hear me now so it's not currently allocated to our project uh back to our facilities master plan where we had 89 million in need so there are projects in the wings that didn't make it to
057the immediate um projects of 2020 so Patrick and I will and Diego will be starting to look at what are the next projects we would recommend bringing forward so how are the next projects going to be determined um back in 2020 they were um identified like modernization of Windows um exteror U modernization of casework and things like that so we'll go through and do a ranking of who's in the most need um we also have to start looking at some of our structures the state architect has changed on how we can modernize projects so we have to do some feasibility which will all align as we start to plan for our next Bond so there's a potential of moving some of those projects forward and doing them sooner um before 26 and president Proctor if
058I can chime in um four years ago we would have said we hope that we have extra funding that's not allocated and so um is there a way to mute that Joe sorry there we go um so we have a great head start because we have this fairly recent master plan for facilities um and I think as superintendent I would ask that the board think of a process for us to really bring folks to the table to really spend the amount of time we should spend um when we get to the summer of 26 to really start to have a clear picture on how much unallocated funding there is um so that our commitments at that time really make the most sense for the school district um but it's certainly a good problem to have
059Amy just a quick comment oh that um just a quick comment to Amy on the W monetization the $61 million line item that's on there too um as part of the budget and part of the grand totals right relative to the commitments so that's a significant portion of work that still needs to be performed as well right correct and we're in the we're bringing the first five sites we can't hear I'm sorry Amy oh just looking at the the way it's can can you hear me now so there's 61 in the budget column but because we only have 5 million or so in contracts um we're going to be bringing them in phases probably about five schools at a time and so we're still completing our our estimate we right now we hope we can
060complete all the scope for the 61 million in change but there is a chance that that project could cost more but that is shown in our committed budget the 61 million okay so I think my my point was about the funds not allocated um well this was a comment so I'll just save it for later because it's not a clarifying question any other clarifying questions okay any public comment any public comment on Zoom comments on Zoom at this time um bringing it back to board comments which I have one just so happens um my point about the funds not allocated was that I wanted to make sure that we're having you know discussions about it just because I think everybody has their own thoughts and priorities that it would be as you said superintendent oo
061a good discussion to have as not only a board but a community and just reink about our priorities because even when we did the facilities master plan that was you know we had a different super tendon we had a completely different board we just had this shocking announcement just a couple minutes ago that we're going to have a different you know we'll have a completely new board at once we do have this discussion so just re you know aligning ourselves with our priorities um as we kind of move forward with this and also our next Bond and we talk about it so I just want to make sure that that's a discussion we're having and not just like assuming we're all on the same page as where we were a couple years ago and just
062double clicking on that I think yeah I think kind of um going through a similar process because that was also was this right after was this at the start of Co right and so there like a lot of kind of covid um related related measures that um you know that were taken into account with the last one and I think I've mentioned this at a recent meeting but you know it seems time for us to be starting to think about another Bond parcel tax right like all of those things it's been while and so having that conversation so I do think it's worth like not just talking about in the context of this chunk of money but talking about it in a larger context going through the prioritization getting a sense from sites communities Etc
063around what the key needs are um and then thinking about what um what a you know next steps in terms of what are the quick hits that we can kind of do now with what we have and then what are the longer term pieces what that means for a potential Bond measure which I think you all uh should consider very soon any other thank you so much for the update on this Amy and I think um you know again I know I said this at the last uh School construction update but it's just like really great to see these projects like moving quickly um like really really great so I'm just uh super grateful for all the work that you know you and the team are doing on this um and the facilities are beautiful
064and amazing and so needed um so thank you so much um yes thank you thank you so much I I really appreciate that these facilities have really opened you know on or ahead of schedule um and just like opening up more space for the kids to have assemblies and you know community building events so just really appreciative of all of the work that your team does thank you trusty wkins said about the process in terms of next steps making sure that it's more inclusive not just looking towards future Bond measure but just accounting for all the changes that have happened since the original facilities master plan with everything we're doing around Community Schools the campus swaps and all these new considerations just making sure that's all accounted for also I just want to Echo what
065uh truste Tren said we've had so many chances to go visit campuses both to see the new construction opening but in progress as well and we we keep hearing from parents teachers staff is just how amazed they are by the amount of progress that we made by the I don't want to jinx it but the lack of hiccups or other kind of challenges that we faced and so yes knock on wood as I say it but it's just you know so when it comes to this kind of large scale construction especially in the public sector there's a lot of scrutiny there's a lot of doubt and if anything our district has really outperformed expectations so it's really just great to see that across the board again not wanting to jinx our progress though thank you
066I just want to say thank thank you Amy and to your team um I think my fellow trustees have covered everything and I want to um just reiterate how proud I am to see the developments that are happening across our district with uh the new uh construction and um those that are currently underway I um I've been in a district for over 20 years and I've seen some of the you know dilapitated buildings and classrooms and now I'm seeing some really good things so thank you thank you again for the update um I know we're heading into summer where I'm sure all these construction sites will just pick up steam and we'll come back in the fall and it's going to be everything will look totally different so um best of luck to all of
067the the crews that are just going to be so happy that there's not a bunch of kids getting in their way and parents and stuff so yay but thank you again for the update so we can this one we don't need to vote on or anything but we can move on we'll go to 8B which is public hearing for the 2024 2025 budget adoption yes so you this is a very simple um just opening the public hearing and um if folks want to comment on the budget we'll open the public hearing at 7:51 p.m. and if anyone wants to make a comment in the public is there right the public to comment yeah just an obligatory component to it uh president Proctor and if there's no one in the public who wants to comment we
068can move on to the next item any public comment on this public hearing any public have anything to say anyone on zoom zoom at this time okay close the public hearing at 7:52 p.m. okay next time just an information item for you too we'll walk through this with you uh oops fairly quickly 8C or are we still on 8p I don't understand these public hearings so you're on to HC now yeah information of 2024 2025 budget adoption draft yes we've uh Shar with you again a saport we share with an executive summary uh we have a couple simple slides to walk through with you tonight so thank you to the whole Business Services team who put a a tremendous amount of work put putting this together so blanc's here with us tonight too if you
069have any specific questions um in the aggregate um the May Revis didn't have anything uh significant that was going to impact our budget so that's positive uh much of what in our budget right now our draft um which is uh a preface to the l cap you're going to hear briefly just from a timing perspective uh much of that we had already integrated into the second inner multi-year projection we share with you already so there's not significant variation from that so much of what you'll see in the slide deck is um is information um that was already in the secondary multi-year projection okay and it's just showing where we're at in the cycle um we're developing we've developed the estimated actuals for the current year and the uh planed expenditures for the upcoming year and
070we' shared with you assumptions prior to tonight about what assumptions what this budget was built upon um this uh captur you some of the budget highlights um what our tax uh revenue is looking like what the cola is looking like now um and for the out years too in terms of funding for uh the cola we're going to wait and see what happens with preschool funding in particular the um intended um expansion of funding for inclusion Rel to preschool so that can impact us so we're going to keep our and monitor that and the superintendent I were talking earlier today about reaching out to school service to get some clarity on that okay these again these next two slides just recap for you some of the major assumptions I won't walk through all those but
071they're reference information for you A lot of these are very standard step and column stirs and Pur increases Etc um what our property tax growth rates are we built in a conservative 4% growth rate for each of these three years um and other items in here such as what um partial tax Reven look like and what the mandated block grant looks like Etc okay adopted budget general fund projections at a glance we share with you what the combined revenues and expenditures are for the unrestricted and restricted funds and what our ining fund balances are looking like uh for the upcoming year um general fund revenues we break those down a little more detail into all the different components you'll see here we have an uh the contribution that's referenc there's growth in that contribution which
072is relative to special ed and other items in there too so we do see some ipate some growth in that we'll monitor what this year's uh ending actually looks like last year you might recall that we had a variation in our contribution because some some late funding we' received through the Sala so we'll monitor that again for this year and see how that influences our upcoming year uh adopted general fund expenditures again we've broken these down into unrestricted and restricted uh for the total of $213 million anticipated for the upcoming year and then again our multi-year projections um we look at what our total expenditures are versus the revenue streams and what we look we were looking at in terms of our beginning fund balance and ending fund balance in each of these years and
073you'll recall too that we have some one-time funds that we're spending down uh and so that contributes to some of that um uh that um expenditures and excess of revenues because in order to spend down dollars that you have in your reserve you have to deficit spend so the deficit in is not negative but that's a contributing factor to uh to this overall uh component the general fund multi-year projection this is going to lead into an item that's coming up too which just an information item too which talks about what the unrestricted Reserve looks like what those components are of those funds and again this is going to see you'll see this in the the slide that comes forward in a few more minutes of the next item uh but this breaks down for you
074what the components of those are our 3% economic uncertainty Reserve our additional 3% reserve on top of that plus the money that's set aside for some other components in the ending fund ballots in each of these respective years okay um other funds we give you a quick summary here to what beginning fund balances are and ending fund balances are for the different funds and a snapshot version and then again was telling you where we're at in terms of uh the budget cycle and uh what the next um document will come forward to you is uh in the September time frame after we adopt the budget in June um along with our adoption of the LC cap okay so that's a quick summary for you tonight of what the budget's looking like and again just an
075information on tonight you'll be acting on it uh at the June meeting there any clarifying questions from the room on Zoom no public comments on Zoom at this time tell that I'm like itching to ask a question yeah Patrick I have one question on the slide for um unrestricted fund balance projection when it says one month of payroll why does it go down each year if usually payroll is either the same or increasing that's um a placeholder relative toal payroll and as we're spending on a reserve that amount relative to the one Lo payroll um it it's diminished um and uh if we have a variation like last year when we had a variation when we closed the books between we estimated and what our actuals were we earmarked those dollars towards that amount that's
076set aside for one month of payroll so it doesn't match exactly but that's also because we're showing we are spending down some of those dollars too um and so that'll fluctuate again like I did last year you might recall we had it increase and it's Rel it's a placeholder relative to that one Monon payroll Reserve so like setting aside A month's worth of payroll don't it's set aside towards that sometimes we hit that exact amount and sometimes it's less than that so I can clarify that in that in that label sides for like in case you know we have a month saved up but we don't wa it's relative to the budget in a particular year makes sense okay then no other questions thank you um item then we can move on 8D um public
077hearing 2024 2025 fund balance and excess of the minimum Reserve level so we can open the public hearing at 7:59 p.m. and the purpose of the hearing shall be to hear the public input regarding the fund balance of the 20242 adopted budget in excess of the minimum Reserve level is that correct okay is there anybody from the public that would like to speak during this public Hearing in the room anyone on Zoom no public comments on Zoom at this time and we can close the public hearing at 7:59 p.m. we can move on to what are we on a e we can receive information related to the 20242 25 fund balance in excess of the minimum Reserve level yes thank you we we looked at this in just another version of the slide I showed
078you just a few moments ago but I'll show you the actual breakdown here in the form itself um and again the same dollars you saw just a few moments ago this breaks us down relative to what the um combined assigned and unassigned uh unappropriate fund balances are um and then it breaks us down below here the doc the items we were talking about earlier relative to your 3% economic reserve and additional 3% % which is your 6% Reserve which is part of your board policy and there's dollar set aside again towards this one month of payroll reserve and some other components in there too uh that are categorized as uh total substantiated needs so this is all components of your uh overall general fund unrestricted ending fund balance okay just an information item you are
079there any clarifying questions on this any public comment from this [Music] room com on Zoom public comments in on Zoom board comments on this thank you okay we can move on to 9A hold public hearing and review information on the local controlled accountability plan 2024 2025 so good evening um it's my pleasure to uh bring to you in a kind of companion piece to the budget information that Patrick has shared um the proposed lcap um as part of that process we will invite you to open a public hearing um around that to uh give an opportunity for public comment well let's open the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. is there anyone that would like to speak on this public hearing from this room anyone on Zoom no public comments on Zoom um okay we'll close
080the public hearing at 8:02 PM we're in the same agenda item we're going to propose an opportunity for information to uh share with you the elcap and um give you an opportunity to um begin discussion um we could officially launch elcap month here because we'll be back um in a month at the regular board meeting at the end of June to ask for your approval so let me share my screen and I'm going to kind of walk you through the um information that we have for you tonight all right so there's three three parts to the elcap that we're sharing with you this evening um the first part is What's called the um budget overview for parents this is a very short document that um provides graphic and and and simple charts to summarize the
081uh money that's captured um again sort of in in sync with the information that that Patrick just provided what is captured in the lcap um just to recall that the lcap is where we kind of in effect draw a link between funding and our strategic plan as a district um the elcap does not include everything that we do it does not include how we fund classroom teachers it does not include how we fund facilities and things like that it's primarily focused on the funding that we receive to um address the needs of what are um termed unduplicated students which um are our students who come from families that are economically struggling um who are English Learners who are Foster youth or homeless youth so again this budget overview for parents um provides summary and we
082invite people you know tonight as well as going forward over the next couple weeks to spend some time looking at the information there at the heart of this process really is the idea that we are engaging with our community and talking about what our strategic priorities are reflecting on what we've done this year and then planning going forward into the into the next year so I'm going to I'm going to jump to one part of the actual 2425 lcap which is a place where we sort of we summarize the the culture of Engagement that we have in the district and um I should share with you at the same time that we're sharing this first draft with you we have also done so with the S County Office of Ed and we just gotten some
083feedback from them and you'll see there's some places in the document where there's still some x's that need to be filled in and things like that please know this is a first draft We Will based on that feedback from the county um and also completing some additional assessments we will we'll fill in some of that information for your final approval in June but I do want to note that um we got specific High uh Commendation I guess you could say from the county on the variety and depth of um of Engagement with our um educational partners and I just want to note that the the monthly board study sessions that you all have chosen to hold um Stand Out is sort of an exceptional way to dive into the elements of our strateg iic plan
084and our lcap and are important moments for uh the public and our our partners in general to um to give feedback um of course also there's the monthly board Community workshops um there is the obviously highly successful work we've done around our community schools work um there's also the students uh superintendence I know we don't he doesn't actually call it a student council but it's his Gathering of students and getting feedback from them as well as a variety of other engagements and surveys that are captured here where we try to give you know we try to gather ongoing feedback about our work and um and elicit input from our educational Partners so um just wanted to acknowledge that that that's kind of the the heart of this thing is to have a healthy uh process
085of hearing and receiving and responding to um what we think are the important ways we're getting better as a as a dis District in support of our students and families a lot of that engagement then gets captured in this second section which is uh the annual update um this is a a specific section it's a little bit different this year because we're making a pivot we've closed out a three-year cycle of lcaps this year and we're launching going into next year another three-year cycle so this annual update is held a little bit separately and when you go to the 2425 um lcap you'll see some places where it says you know the reflection questions are not applied this year because they're captured in this this annual update and we will work on those after next
086year so if you have questions about why is this section blank in the actual lcap that's what's going on um so again this uh annual update is really a place where we can look at our three goals which of course um aligned with our strategic plan are about acade mic achievement equity and wellness we look at our metrics we talk about the progress we've made over we we display the progress uh or over we've made over the last three years in those metrics and then um we spend time responding to a series of questions um about our actions in this 2324 year um the first question is did you do anything different than what you planed in the in the lcap for this year and so you'll see item by item there we talk about
087you know we implement it as planned or we made a a decision to change and so there's a series of um comments about that and then there's a feedback on um talk about any actual material difference between differences in the budget what you plan to spend and what you ended up spending um to there's a chart in the the third piece that I'm going to get to that um lays that out in just a chart format but here we look at the specific items that really if there was more than a 10% variance and what we planned we have to acknowledge it and and speak to why um that variance occurred third question is you know how effective or ineffective was this work um this is where we pull on our data and we respond
088to whether the actions have in fact um made an improvement as we hope and then the final is given all that um how do you how do you plan to go forward with these actions into the 2425 school year so the uh annual update is just it's a it's a big reflection document uh posing those questions that we've responded to and then lastly there is the section uh that's the actual lcap itself there's a variety of um compliance sections that um kind of provide over views and some statements about um challenges and and where we feel we've been successful and then it gets to kind of the heart of the uh lcap which is again our three goals we've laid out um in some cases some new metrics for this threeyear cycle of the lcap
089although there's probably 90% uh consistency between the old lcap and this one uh so you'll see those metrics you see the Baseline and the uh targets that we would have in three years and again there are some x's in there which we will fill in based on some data that we're waiting to get just in June so we that we'll come back with those filled in and then there is uh the listing of uh and this is just to say this is that not applicable section I was referring to so uh don't be alarmed at that it's actually what's meant to be in the the the other document the annual update and then here you'll see um the statements about the specific actions in each of the goal areas the total funds that we're allocating
090toward that and contributing just refers to um for supplemental dollars that we spend which are meant to contribute to increased or improved services for students so basically above and beyond uh where you see it uh checked as contributing it it is above and beyond and its funding source uh um at least partially is in supplemental fund so it's kind of a compliance point so let me just pause there um really you know as we said there's several weeks here to spend some time with this but I'm happy to turn it back to you for any questions or comments at this time any clarifying [Music] questions okay any public comment from the room any public comment from Zoom comments on Zoom at this time any board comments you for putting all this together it's a lot
091um actually and I I just would encourage anyone who wants to kind of know how we're doing on a variety of different um of our plans to kind of look and see what the data shows um and I know that we are continuing to work on all of these things so thank you so much yeah just Echo the the thanks I know that this is always like a a major process um and I think um the sort of goal analysis like I really appreciate kind of that piece we're really reflecting on like how did we do with all the things we said that we were going to do and what does that mean we're going to do moving forward so um yeah thank you for for all of the work putting this together and that's
092it just want to Echo the other trustees in terms of our appreciation I guess uh this this is sort of a clarifying question but some more just for the next meeting I guess um when we talk about the achievement indicators Wellness indicators and we see certain small drop offs or certain concerns and I know in our reflection we addressed kind of the steps that we would take I guess I'd be curious to know we've talked about this in past meetings once we have the data we do talk about those remedial steps but how much of a deviation is our plan laid out here from what we've already been doing or what we would have suggested regardless of what the data showed I'm always just curious to the extent that we make Corrections obviously not overcorrecting
093or reacting to every number we see but how much additional thought or concern we put in when we do see minor slippages or other concerns that do raise an interest in terms of whether or not the way we're going is efficient but that's more just you know when we get to the more final stages of the process and have all the final [Music] information thank you David this is um a lot to digest and I really appreciate all the work that's um that's in here it's uh I really love to see the kind of the the road map of where we're going and also the kind of reflection back on where we where we came from so I appreciate all the work here thank you I think with that we can move on to item

101well um are there any board comments on this resolution before I would like to make a comment I would like to thank you for bringing this resolution forward um I do have um um something that I would like to say uh regarding the um flag flying in our district um I'm not in necessarily in favor of the flag flying although I am completely in agreeance with every um everything identified here in this resolution I really hope that we can get to a place where we promote humankindness which includes a rainbow flag and everyone under it instead of a secretory way of isolating a certain group based on having a preference of sex especially at this age level thank you thank you so much for bringing this forward um I think about um we started the
102equity task force in 2018 and this was one of the um topic areas that was prioritized by the students members of the equity task force it was something that was raised really early on as an area of concern um and we had two students at the time um neither of whom at least in that setting identified as um lgbtq plus but had many friends um that they had witnessed um just having a lot of struggles in our middle schools um and you know just needed it raised it as just a key Equity issue in our district and something that we started to um spend a lot more time discussing at that time and I know there have been a lot of V you know varying initiatives um related to you know supporting our students that
103identifies lgbtq plus over the years um and so I'm you know really grateful to all of the work uh um that has taken place all of the resources that we have devoted to supporting you know our students um having a tosa that's supporting our students and just supporting our staff um I know you know one of the things we talk in this resolution about um you know ensuring that we have kind of Ally clubs etc for our students and you know one of the things just to raise is like the support that we have for our teachers and stuff as well that identify and where are the safe spaces that we have for those individuals um and you know want to make sure that we're prioritizing that need as well um and so just really
104grateful I [Music] know yeah I just and I appreciate kind of um some action oriented items in the resolution um I think it's like one thing to say like we affirm this we believe this it's another thing to take a stance and say we are going to you you know ensure that we support clubs that we're going to fly you know a flag in support to like visibly show that we're supporting this and so um I think some you know taking those stances at times can be difficult but I think really really important um and so appreciate the inclusion of those item you know that in in this resolution um and um thank you you know to Dennis and the team I know that we have some folks that are involved in this work in
105the audience so thanks to all of you for all of the work that you've done to ensure that our schools continue to be safer spaces for um you know our students and I know I've sat in a variety of different meetings where we've heard a lot of feedback from you know we still have people in our community that do not think that this is something we should talk about with kids um that don't think that we should you know be reading diverse sets of books with our students um that um you know that that think that um these are not topics that should be uh um you know that should be discussed or or valued um and so I just you know really am grateful that we are in a district that has a board
106and District staff and so many students and families that um you know want um to ensure that you know we're we have safe spaces for for all of our students and at this moment we're particularly talking about a group of students that hasn't always had that space in the same way that we have for other groups of students that often don't have that space so just thank you um and to a um really inclusive and supportive and fun pride month [Music] ahead um I I want to say thank you as well um I I attended the colorful connections event um I believe it was last Saturday and it was just really um beautiful to see families coming together to celebrate their identity I mean who you know I I certainly didn't ask like if the
107kids there identified but it um as anything in particular some of them were happy to tell me how they identified and I think that that is just so lovely for kids to be so um you know confident and um supported at that age no matter how you know no matter how old they are and I know that you know we often say that um kids are too young to discuss certain issues certainly like there's age appropriate discussions to be had but in terms of what families look like it's never too they're never too young to learn that families come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and appearances and um you know it could be one parent could be two parents it could be adopted parents it could be all sorts of different ways that
108people form families and and loving relationship ships um and I have spoken before in the past of how I certainly have friends and acquaintances whose children um at a very young age have identified that there's something different about themselves whether they have the language to express it um you know that comes with time but what I wish is for every child to feel safe um whether it's with their own family or with at school or their chosen family um to feel safe and becoming who they are and whatever in whatever way that they want to express themselves so this is so much more about than um I would say you know in my experience this is about so much more than um sexual preference or um sexual orientation it's really about selfhood and really um
109you know Lear people learning how to be themselves and so I just want to say that it's it's never too early to to think about you know those things I just want to Echo what my fellow trustees just said also thank you Dennis for your leadership on this issue I think you know and I've commented on this before the fact that we live in an era now where the rhetoric and the sentiment is becoming dangerous and aggressive in a situation where we see so many lgbtq plus Youth and also other communities of color being put up as a wedge in school districts all across the country and where it seems like the progress that we've seen over the last 10 20 years is starting to hit a wall on a backlash I'm exceptionally proud to
110be a trustee in a district that is really committed to making sure that our schools will be a safe place that respects diversity Equity inclusion and it doesn't shy away from that mission of making sure that every student feels like a part of this community that their families and everyone can come as their true and authentic selves and regardless of our personal beliefs or values that all of us are committed to creating that space and again in a time of tremendous Global pain and suffering and conflict and a massive you know political election that's can to only make situations worse in a lot of these conversations I'm proud to be a part of this board in this District in a way that really stands with all of our communities and let's them know that they're
111welcome and that we're here to serve them and we're here to Ser them to the best of our ability so thank you all so much um thank you Dennis for all of your work on this and thank you for you know really the work that you have done to make our schools safe and welcoming and and thank you to really all of the all of the Educators and everyone on campus for everything they do to make our schools safe for kids um I've said it you know numerous times that I really feel that it's important for kids to feel like they belong and that they're safe atool school and so um as a school board member and as a mom when I walk into a classroom and I see a teacher that has a rainbow
112flag that says you know Ally or you belong or whatever it is that that that that flag says under and the words is under it um to me that that makes me feel good because I know that kids are safe in that classroom that they can go to that teacher and that they can they can share whatever they need to share and that that's a safe place for them and so for me when I read this resolution not only you do I know that our campuses are safe but now that I know that there's going to be a rainbow flag in the month of June I know that kids are going to see that when they drive by whether they go to that school or not adults are also going to see it and they're
113going to say this is a this is a school district this is a school where people are safe and they're welcome and they're included no matter who you are you belong here and you may not go to this school but you know that that's a place where you you are a member and no matter who you are and so I really appreciate the work that everybody in the school district is doing to make sure that everybody feels like they belong and they're welcome and that they're safe um I you know I really think that it's important that kids feel like people um value who they are and that they can be who they are and so um I think it was last school board meeting I know that the topic wasn't positive but we had
114a um I think it was a teacher or a staff member that came up and he I I'm already probably using the wrong pronoun so um they came up and said that they were transgender and so you know just being able to be an employee who comes up and feels comfortable in this school district to be who they are is also important so I appreciate that this resolution is saying that employees and you know are welcome here and are safe here I think that this is really important so our school district is kind of stepping out Beyond just you know like everybody just come to work and and do your job it you know everybody is safe and welcome here so I just I really want to thank you Dennis for for doing this before
115you move on to retirement and and taking this bold step so thank you and you know this is important work so thank you this one's up for a vote yeah oh yeah I will make a motion to approve the resolution acknowledging June 24 AS lgbtq Plus pride month and pride flag she did it already Okay thank you trusty Watkins for the motion and trusty Kim for the second all in favor please say I I I any opposed any extensions okay this passes 5 to zero thank you speechless I mean I just have to add that um I said I wasn't going to in my head I wasn't going to say anything but I think it's important I do um in the70s when I thought about being a teacher it wasn't okay I knew that I
116was gay and Anita Bryant for those of you that might be older made it clear to the country parts of it that it wasn't okay to be out and an educator but I did become a teacher and um moved to LA in the early mid 80s and my very first first gay pride parade was in Los Angeles and I went to that parade and I got it sunburned I went to work the next day it was a Sunday Monday I went to work and a colleague said oh you got some sun this weekend and I said yeah I was at the pride parade this was in the mid 80s and they said don't tell me when you went to the parade I'm like why because people aren't going to be okay with that and some
117of you might be too young to remember those days but AIDS was an issue people were very fearful you couldn't be gaying out um but I continued to just be who I was and am and did my job and now I'm ending my career in a way that just makes me so proud to know that it's just okay to be who you are I don't know what more to say about that but it's it's just I couldn't have imagined as a young person that I'd ever be in this spot so thank you thank you and I appreciate it for everybody so thank you never ending I'm just like one cry after another okay um all right moving on to 11a which is approval of the 2024 2025 board meeting dates the board um this is
118an annual item at this time of year we announce publicly our expected board meeting dates uh Joe if you could just project on um the attachment to this document and these documents will live on the district's website um as you know we have a process to notify the public about our regular Schoolboard meetings um as well as the development of our schedule for our special board study sessions um at any given time the board is uh authorized and has uh the capacity to add a meeting or move a meeting but this is our annual process to announce publicly when we plan to meet we're keeping the meetings at the same time and on the same days um everything has been updated to reflect the 24 um 25 school year dates uh and then on the
119last page uh you have a proposal before you to adopt um School visitation schedules that mimic the process we began this year in which we invite members of our um stakeholder groups and members of our partner groups to attend school visitations with us in a way that uh allows them to see the good work that our educators are doing every day with our children um and to really use School visitations as a way to celebrate um we did change the uh timing of those visitations as you know we ran into some issues this year in May we we ran into a couple of schools where State Testing was happening um and then on other occasions we ran into circumstances where we just really didn't have enough time to go from one school to the next
120and it really felt that we were just rushing too much to get from one place to the other um so this is an agenda item that President Proctor and I um looked at and uh and wanted to bring uh to the board for your consideration and uh approval this evening so with that I'll turn it back over to the board uh for questions and comments question on this um I I did want to ask the district and board for the August 22nd meeting if we would be open to considering a different week whether 29th or 15th I I'm aware that I'll be stand in Conflict if I'm the only one it's not an issue um but there is a a national event that conflicts with that and so wanted to see if they're and I
121think I believe our first day of school is the 13th is correct I every um educator would welcome it certainly every member of the team that presents to the board would be more than happy to have that meeting on the 29th so I would just from the practitioner level only because it's so close to the start of school that would be a welcome change um and then we would just notate that on the agenda that this one particular meeting uh is held a week later so what is that a planner look it's it's not in here it's not happening so I'm always get in trouble if I don't look at this first everyone is is like a huge planner it's a count what happen to Google count it's too crowded this is like this is
122Magie you really you should be teaching class any other questions on this okay any public comment on our calendar any public comment on Zoom com on Zoom I know it's weird that I have a comment since I'm not going to be here but I just have not work for you yeah and you can let me know if I'm supposed to vote on this or not but um no I just have one comment about the school visitations um I have really appreciated the format um of the kind of partner visits one thing I would um request that you all kind of consider for the time is so we've tried a variety of different models with school visits I know we've talked about it here and prior to your tenure we tried a variety of different things
123one of the things I really appreciated when we made a shift where we would get to schools um before the school day started and have time with teachers and staff to be able to come and speak with the board um because it's you know you go there you go into their classrooms and there's no time for any conversation um so to the extent that we're able you all are able to make adjustments to the time and or provide whether it's like over a break or folks can come in and pop in whether it's before the start of the class the school day um I just think it would be a good opportunity to ensure that the teachers and staff um at these sites have an opportunity to interact with the board and District staff and
124other partners that are there so that's just one comment okay a motion to approve the 2024 2025 board meeting dates with the adjustment that the August board meeting will be set to August 29th 20124 second thank you trusty Kim yeah yeah and thank for the motion and truste Brooks for the second all in favor please say I I I I all any oppos yeah any extensions okay that passes 5 to zero okay um item 11b adoption of resolution for the election of three governing board members thank you president Proctor this item is a um item we bring to the board um prior to any election um during a regular election year as you know uh we're lined up for a November election um at present we have two uh trustees who were elected by trustee
125area that's uh president Proctor and trustee Brooks who reside in uh areas one and two of the district um and what this resolution sets forth is an explanation of the three areas that are up for re-election in the November election and those are areas 3 4 and five um though this resolution authorizes the school district to work with the county elections office to um complete the necessary paperwork to announce the election um and to pursue uh this election process um so that come November um we will have uh three duly elected new members of the board whose terms begin in 2024 and uh whose terms end in 2028 should they complete their terms um so this resolution came to the board two years ago with the slight change of truste areas one and two uh
126listed at the time it was the first time we had a regular election by trustee area and uh we at the time had three trustees um who uh remained on the board as at large uh elected board members and so this will be the first time that we have by area uh trustees in areas 3 four and five um and uh and this item is up for your approval um and I'm available for any comments or questions from the board thank you thank you any clarifying questions on this I didn't have a chance to check this independently but just confirming that it it should say 123 days as it says it it should say 12 any public comment any public comment from the room any public comment from Zoom no public comments on zoom on
127this okay who's ready for vote second oh okay thank you for the motion trusty Brooks and thank you for the second trusty Watkins all in favor please say I I I um any opposed any extensions okay this passes 5 to zero moving on to item 12 board member statements and requests for future agenda items wishing I just realized we're not going to have another meeting till that after school end so awesome how I hope everyone has a wonderful end of the school year an amazing summer um yeah I wasn't I didn't put that together like so I'm not really prepared for that element so if you want more from me come back in June and there was something else I was gonna say oh I know that I brought this up last time superintend choa
128but for my last meeting can we please talk about PTA funding thank you very much meeting yes next meeting please bring all your comments about sha to the next meeting because we're really going to go all out don't waste him right now it's not agendized for June planning to say um first I just wanted to thank SMA uh for hosting trusty Watkins and I earlier this month for the meeting we thought it was just a really amazing experience to be able to take that time really appreciate all the teachers that came out after school to have that opportunity to speak with us and hope we can do that again with the other trustees as well um if anything the takeaway was that we didn't have enough time to cover everything um and just really recognize
129how important that partnership is so look forward to doing that again in the future I also wanted to give a shout out to College Park uh principal esina and Amy and bent Thai who helped to host an event earlier this month in honor of a Heritage Month uh with the organization Asian women are strong sessions our board meetings again not knowing that June is all we have for now so I guess it's more next year I think we mentioned before the school nutrition and kind of everything that's happening on that front is something we hear a lot about from parents and so I know we have some exciting developments that we hope to put together this summer so we'd love to have a chance to really not only hear about those maybe even have an
130opportunity toward the facilities and really see what we're doing on the ground um and then also one thing that came up in our meeting earlier this month was what's happening in special education what's happening with TLC pilot program and some of the other initiatives that out there and I know the trustees are very interested in learning more about what we can do on that front and getting an update on everything we're doing uh especially with sped and everything else in our district so thank you um I had a couple of things to say um one was I wanted to apologize for missing our study session last time on Community Schools I was going to I was trying to be in two places at once I was at the Bic um PTSA Founders Day Awards I
131was I received an award I was gonna just um pop over and get my award and then pop right back in but then I got really sidetracked because a lot of really amazing people won awards and I wanted to hear about them and my little pitch to everyone is if you get a chance to attend a Founders Day award or ceremony at your kids school or any any school that you go to or pop by um definitely go because I learned a lot of a lot of information about people at bich particularly but really any school you can go to um about the people that really make everything happen at the school and I think what we don't hear about about teachers and staff at the school is what they do Beyond just the work
132that you see them do and um you know a lot of the teachers that are there they they serve on committees and they do a lot of things Beyond just the work that you see them doing in the classrooms and all of the work that they do with your kids and stuff um and it's just amazing the work that everybody's doing and um and the volunteer work that they do um and the and the coaching and and the tutoring and everything that people are doing to make the school run and make make our kids' lives so much better and um bage in particular that day um there was some teach teach that were retiring and there were some teachers that had come back that a teacher that had taught their 30 you know for you
133know 30 years ago or something he was there when bich opened and um a student that was there 30 years ago that's now the basketball coach she was there receiving an award and really what it what it boiled down to was you guys were having a study session about Community Schools and what I was at bage receiving an award um what I learned there was although it's not a community school really every school is a community school because it takes a whole Community to really make a school run and so um if you get a chance in a year from now when when these Founders Day things come back up attend them because you learn a lot about um the community that makes the school um you know what it is and so um sorry
134I missed the study session but it was also a great event to attend um now my second thing about requests for future agenda items we just talked about um elections for new governing board members and so I thought um with that coming up soon I thought it might be a good idea to add to our future agen agenda would be maybe having um a governance session type thing and also talking about what are um some of the things for future board members or and also current board members but talking about um some of the board member benefits and like things like benefits and um trainings and kind of like onboarding type stuff for for board members because I think we have a whole we have a bunch of new board I mean or technically a
135bunch several of us are new but then also we're going to have three potentially three one two or three people that could be on this board and so I think as people may be interested in running for election they may want to know what does it what does it look like to be a board member and what what comes with it and so I think having that discussion would be beneficial so I would like to add that to our agenda um governance benefits that kind of thing if possible anything was there another thing I was going to say else um I I mentioned this a little bit earlier but I just want to say um thank you to the team that put on the event yesterday for Community Schools it was a really um nice
136event to see you know so many families and staff um and administrators there to celebrate and you know I got to talk to some parents who um whose kids don't go to the same schools as as mine but who's um you know has been with the district quite a number of years and has been very vocal and active and it's just really um just amazing to see how empowered and committed these parents are to their students success and I want to you know even though um we're now moving into the implementation part of the Grant I really want to continue to um you know engage with those families um and I just want to say thank you so much for that opportunity if I could uh trusty Tren just reiterate something for those that weren't
137present um one of our principes spoke at the event I'm still thinking about what she said to the family she said um not the anecdote about her husband and that she told a funny story about that too but she she said to all the parents at lead Elementary School I promise that if you keep talking to us will keep listening and I'm just like man if we all just thought about that in every interaction we have if I'm a department chair at this district and saying to my my colleagues if you keep talking to me I'll keep listening or if I'm a principal saying that to my teachers or if I'm a teacher saying that to my kids or if I'm a Schoolboard member to you know it just it it just resonates in every
138interaction we have if you you keep talking we'll keep listening I just to me that was just wow she really she really got me with that one and and that is at the heart of you know of the Community Schools work sorry um two two other things you guys are making me think about it um the Comm I wanted to come in on the Community Schools event and just I know that I also was like in and out because I was really sick that night um of the study session but just like immense gratitude for all the work that's gone into that the event last night was incredible and I you know when I think you know and it's it's um related to like the resolution we just talked about and um you know so
139many things that we talk about as a board um just in terms of how we're thinking about redistributing power and disrupting systems and you know making sure that people feel safe in space but I just like as I sat there and listened to parents and um students speak and just like they were like they were o this is their space right they're talking about their schools they're talking about you know they um in in ways that you know many of them shared kind of outside of that context while we were eating dinner or whatever and ways that they have never felt that they could do in this District many of whom have been here for many many many years um and so you know that's that's what that is about and I you know I
140think um uh Natalie's comment was was spot on as you mentioned superintend choah um and also just like that is the work and that is just like so incredibly powerful like I just was just sitting there in awe you know of of how um this initiative has been one piece of just empowering members of our community that um now are like this is I deserve to be here I have something to say and I'm going to say it and I'm going to keep saying it and um how much better and stronger that's going to make us as a district so just thank you to everyone who's been a part of that initi um and I also wanted to just thank um you know the the Abbot team for Matilda was able to go I brought
141both of the girls um and just a quick story about that so at the end they were you know um thaning everybody and one of the students was talking about she's like you know I remember when I was like watching different musicals and plays and thought that you know like never imagined that I'd be here and she was like you know there's some little girl sitting in the audience or some kid she didn't say little girl some kid sitting in the audience thinking like oh my gosh that could be me and my older daughter was like she's talking about me she's talking about me and then was like should I go on stage and I was like no but yeah maybe she is talking about you um it was pretty cute so I was like
