013agenda the midyear elop update for you that'll just head okay if that's the case we're going to move on to the board and the superintendent we'll start off by Miss Cindy Lopez yes so I forgot my notes I apologize for that but um I did attend a a couple of things um since our last meeting um the first being uh uh and I think it was um monter Office of Education said um they had a kind of like a informational um about Ai and schools and you know how it's playing all of that stuff um it was really good information the way I see it is AI is here so we're going to have to you know learn how to work with it what not but it was a lot of good information that was
014put out there um you know uh Dr Gus did you know mention hey they would like to see more board members you know um go I think they're having another one they didn't say the exact dates yet but it's really good information for you guys to maybe join if you guys can it was via Zoom but it's good information just so we know you know kind of stay involved on how they're thinking of you know setting everything up and I know we have already our own uh um uh policy uh but still it it it was really good information second thing I attended was also um the Alys Sal that day that our meeting got cancel it was the LSL um um know your rights um presentation and I also attended it via Zoom I
015know ala went in person um I was hoping she elaborated a little bit more on that but basically what I saw was they had a lot of booths with like different um information I stuck around around after the um they had attorneys up there answering questions and whatnot but it seemed like they they had a lot of information for the parents I know that what I stick around for afterwards was like a a PL a a safety plan for kids to have you know in case you know something was to happen not necessarily deportation but something was to happen you know all that it was really good information and it had a really good turnout it looked like it was full in online it was at one point over 250 on Zoom so that was
016really good the attorneys were there you know giving awesome information I know we've given the red cards but they also were talking about like some yellow cards um and so I don't know if we have yeah okay perfect so it was really good information about that too um so that's basically all that I have to update and then last Saturday we had our Workshop here um it was Sarah myself and Ela that attended really good information about how our students are doing too and whatnot but um oh and Jacob sorry you're like what about me um but yeah that's that's all I have to report and I was just going to share our Liaisons are also trained in doing those child care plans oh awesome awesome thank you um since we were last together I
017was one of the leaders for the how not to be a terrible board member uh workshop at mcoe so it was myself a board member from mon Peninsula unified a board member from the County Board and then a board member from Pacific Grove unified and uh afterwards the four of us along with some other people were asked if we would do further workshops for the county which we said that we would that they felt like people learned more from their peers than you know just NE they wanted to bring in the experts also but also to have people there to talk about their personal experiences so we'll see whether that happened but it was that particular night was a great night and great conversation anybody who's a teacher tell will absolutely tell you that you
018learn more teaching than you do being a student so I always learn something even when I'm one of the presenters um then I was here um with my colleagues on Saturday looking at the midyear data which I really appreciated so thank you yeah for myself I did attend the workshop with my colleagues as well um the student data was really concerning but I guess what I'm hopeful is we have a plan and there was there steps going forward I think um that where I think I have a little more hope is you know we're going to see changes and then we also saw some positive increases as well so okay um just attending as many updates like looking at changes that may be coming down through the um Federal level and into the state and
019how that um could impact our community keeping aware of that all of the directors are kind of Manning their channels of information to look for any impacts on things programmatically even like the lunch program the special education all of those additional areas and just keeping keeping an eye on it so that we can plan ahead accordingly other than that I I don't have um a lot and I know uh Miss Becky Moore has got her midyear update for the lcap so I'll just see any in my remaining time to get that started um any public comments regarding non-agenda or agenda items we do not okay okay we're going to move on to informational items 8.1 presentation of the alcad media reports thank you um on the agenda item in board dos are both the full
020report and a copy of the presentation um while this is not an action item it is a required action that we share where we are related to our metrics in the lcap um at mid year and also our expenditure information and so that's what I have prepared to share with you tonight it works thank you Tech Guys you're the best um and so for the purpose of the midyear review we were are going to look at progress Focus areas um of course using data then to fine-tune our strategy moving forward so for the rest of the year and also as we start to look at refinements to our lcap for next school year we've had lots of um educational partner engagement this year um even last night in the deac meeting reviewing previewing this presentation
021with our deac members um and we will continue that through the remainder of this school year as We Gather input for um updates for next year's plan and just like you saw last year with the elcap um midye I need to move this microphone we will be um measuring each um of our metrics and actions um with these um visuals that show what is not started yet what is in progress and what has been completed there are a few things that are complete such as hiring certain staff um or purchasing certain items but for the most part our AC are in progress which is where we would expect to be in the middle of a school year and I did begin working on this um presentation in November and had it finalized kind of like
022end of January beginning of February so we're still in progress further now from when this was put together so our first goal is all about boosting um achievement in English language arts and so we have lots of strategies around that um as you can see the metrics are mostly in progress um with the exception of credential teachers and having our adopted curriculum and our actions are all in progress they've all been started and we're working through them here's more [Music] actions and where I want to focus um ton is you can take a glance at the spending items on most of our goals we are about halfway through the expenses which is where we should be um but really looking at our glows and grows and so we can see for ELA there we are
023we have um 50 teachers who have so far participated in that optional PD above and beyond what's required in the district um all of our Ela and um teachers have have attended I ready professional development to support their use of that tool in maximizing student achievement um and what we're really excited about is that our I ready growth this year exceeds the fall to winter growth that we saw last year so we're optimistic about what that means for the future for us we do have some grows that we discussed on Saturday with our um achievement from the esack in the spring um and some declines but again knowing that we're growing at a faster rate great than we did last year we have hoped that we're going to make improvements in that area goal two
024is very similar but this time focused on the area of math um again the metrics are mostly in progress as are the actions um these are the items that we have spent um money on so far um you saw the family math nights that are McKinnon students highlighted we have those at all all of our school sites um there will be stiens and that's why the budget here looks a little bit lower because those are paid out at the end of the year not in the middle of the year um we have extra hours budgeted um contracts materials and supplies and again looking at glows um we do have some increases in math on our esack data from the spring last year at some of our school sites and we did Implement six hours of
025mathematical content knowledge training for all of our Middle School Math teachers this year um and we have some areas to continue growing and so we're working on that closely with our partners lcap goal three is about our multilingual students and really targeting our resources um for them so that they can be as successful as possible again here are the metrics for those all in progress we have lots of metrics for English Learners and then our actions are also all in progress our spending so far is about half um and the big item that this goal pays for is for the three three of our four Al specialists in the district we have one who's paid out of CSI targeted money from the state at santarita but our specialists at JG at Gavin View and at
026santarita um are all paid out of lcap so we did have some increases in English learner progress um at JG and at Santa Rita last year um and one of the biggest things that we did to address um English Learners last year and then expanded this year are the implementation of a designated ELD curriculum English 3D so last year we began that for fourth through e8th graders this year for kindergarten through third um so we're anticipating that we're not going to see these declines that we saw last year at some of our schools but see increases at every school lcap goal four is really around technology um to improve learning I'm going to move through these metrics and actions pretty quickly they are all in progress um we we've done really well spend in this
027area thanks chisha and it does support our library mediat techs our ID it Specialists don't worry we won't run out of money to pay you we'll make sure you're covered um we have um funds available for technology both repairs and new um Replacements that we need to have as well as new technology we might need um and so forth we have had a significant increase in classrooms regularly using technology tools so that's you know with some consistency which is what we want to see not that we want teachers and students to constantly be on devices but we want a consistent use from classroom to classroom um we've had more than 50 ViewSonic displays installed across the district and you've seen pictures of students using those where they're interacting um teachers have partici I at in
028multiple PD sessions that are focused on edte and we have reports from parents that 100% of students and families have access to Internet at home so that's a bright spot um we do have some grows we really want to streamline our educational technology applications we have found pockets of things where we have you know two or three things that do the same thing and so people are choosing what they like which is great but we could tighten our budget and really be more strategic with those funds by streamlining that um we want to continue installing the vonic displays those are that's being done as the um current TV displays age out and increase the average number of minutes per week on I ready my path in most um grade levels so that they're reaching the
029ideal um 40 to 45 minutes per week lcap go five is all about our special education students um especially those in additional um subgroups to increase their um performance academic be and um cognitive emotional behavioral needs so again looking at the metrics they are all well in progress as well as the actions and we wanted to add a note that this goal is not currently funded in elcap because we have separate funding for special education that covers most of these needs we may be assessing some things that we may want to put into elcap under this goal to um add additional support where we know there's a high need so there are a few metrics that we looked at Saturday there's the distance from standard which is how far below the standard are we or
030how far above um and here you can see on Ela and math we decreased in our distance from standard which is not good it went lower um in last year's sback Ela and math I'm sorry take that back I said the wrong thing I am so sorry I get caught up no that was a glow we actually decreased which means instead of coming down here we're getting closer to that standard so never mind sorry Melanie that's great news um and on the cast we had an increased percentage of students who met or exceeded standard compared to the prior year um and we did have a combination of a special education and general education teachers attending training this year to support special education students and we had extremely positive feedback from the gened um teachers who
031attended that because they really want to know how to support students with IEPs who are in their classroom um the areas for growth are suspension rates and attendance for special education students goal six is about providing challenging instruction and support for our students improving academic success in college readiness again we are making progress in the middle of delivering on these actions we have spent about half of the budget um this is an area where we are paying for field trips for every class in the district to have at least one field trip this year and a lot of those are about to happen so that spending is going to definitely be taken care of between now and the end of the year um so a glow we had a really wonderful participation rate from parents
032on the chicks survey this year much higher than last year we have our three Super Subs hired per School site and they are really blending with those School communities and our class size averages um are well under what our goal was with this um action for making sure we keep those classes small for grows um and these are all connected to that higher participation rate on the chick survey higher participation more opinions and we found that we have fewer parents who believe we are fostering a positive student learning environment fewer who believe that our schools are motivating students to learn and fewer who believe we offer opportunities for Meaningful participation so it was interesting with a bigger pool that that decreased but it's letting us know that there are those parents and students out there
033with these concerns that we can address goal seven is really focus on student attendance um so addressing parent involvement enhancing pupil achievement and improving School climate again we are in progress metrics and actions we are a little bit under half of the spending on this but not too far off um and this is oops thank you covering um additional Office Clerks so that our um previous Office Clerks who are now office clerk to can put a higher emphasis of their role on attendance um our two Community Liaisons communication assistant principles for school climate um additional classified hours for glow we have we're really going to celebrate at the end of this year the reduction in chronic absenteeism and the increase in our attendance rates we've seen that as something that um 86 to 95% is
034huge um for grows we did not see significant changes in the school boredom report on chicks and we would have hoped to see an increase or a decrease in boredom an increase in students being excited about being in school goal eight is about creating a safe supportive and inclusive School environment um it includes student well-being mental health and Equity both through um the school day and also extracurriculars and campus safety measures we are in progress um with the exception of being complete with our basic school facility and the Williams Act we aced that yay our actions are in progress um these are the spending items again we're right about halfway through which is where we should be this is where we are paying for our school counselors and school social workers our alternative to suspension
035teacher our restorative practices tosa um some of our Behavior AIDS campus health and safety Specialists yard Duty supervisors so it has a lot of personnel um as well as extra hours for classified the playworks training and other safety measures so heray as a district we increased on the California dashboard from Orange to Yellow for our suspension rate um New Republic suspension rate declined as did JG ms's um gavan view suspension rate increased slightly so we are let me say summer is constantly monitoring those suspension rates and working with the her team to follow up with students in case manage to help to prevent that from increasing goal nine is improving staff Recruitment and Retention within the district because we know continuity and Staffing is what's best for our students um these are all in progress
036and as is the oh is that metric this was supposed to be a goal here okay or an action I should say um our spending items again are lower right now because a lot of the bills for these services and stiens are going to come in at the end of the year um but this does cover coaching for um new teachers who are induction teachers who are not credentialed yet but are on a special permit or intern status um if we have administrators who are in new administrator induction and materials and supplies so this year we have 16 intern and pre-intern teachers receiving support and 24 induction coaches unfortunately our staff retention fell slightly um by 3% so probably like one or two teachers more from the previous year and it looks like we're on
037track to be at about the same place with teacher absences than the prior year we were at 4.5% absences through December and last year we were at 10% at the end of the year and goal goal 10 is building School Community capacity to address racism discrimination and bias to improve student well-being and success this also applies to both through the school day and after school activities um we are in progress on every metric um our spending is about a quarter a little less than a quarter of the way through invoices are pending um and so this is where we are Contracting with groups to provide professional development to teachers provide student groups like our um black student leadership group that meets at lunchtimes um funded our student listening circles and parent forums our PK parent
038classes um this is also where we're providing support for athletics for student engagement and well-being um so we have some great glows with profess na development our lunch groups PK classes have been successfully attended and importantly we have a decrease in the number of students reporting that they feel harassed based on race or sexual orientation um we do still see rates of disparities in academic achievement across different demographics and we want to see an improvement in that to close that close the gap as we all know the saying goes um and again on that chick survey we had more parents um believe that school a decrease in the percent of parents believing that school treats all students with respect and promoting respect for cultural beliefs and practices so those are some areas for us to
039improve so I really whipped through all these because I know it's so much information and nobody wants to be here for hours but if you have any questions I will be happy to answer those I guess some a little bit questions to comment as well I know sometimes um I appreciate the the glows and the grows um as hard to sometimes to see the the grow information things it's important to know that information uh because I know sometimes we just want to shine light on the positive stuff and then we don't so I rather as the as you know hey we're we're missing on that part it's better to see it and that way you guys are addressing it so I think I appreciate that about our district as as we acknowledge where we have
040room for grow at least we're going to make a plan for it because I think too often a lot of times districts don't want to acknowledge those shortfalls and you can't fix them or work on them until you acknowledge that they're there um and it's interesting as far as the perception of activities in boredom because I was looking at the amount of students are participating in the extrac activities and that's like growing and I feel like we have more activities now this year the school boarding report is about in the classroom engagement it's not after school we actually yeah we increased in their access to those but the school board report looks at student engagement in the classroom oh got it okay so something we need to work on definently then yeah it's yeah it's
041a different it's a confusing report but yeah yeah and I know some um when some of these reports are submitted um is there anything that we can ask like those parents like do you have ideas of how we could shift that so some of that that's why we did our our parent forums after as well after we got those chick survey results um and we LED um some facilitated session with uh wested with Antoinette to dive in deeper to what those responses were and what could happen so during our last PD day and tnet went through all follow those results and then they work together to create plans around how to address any areas of deficit okay perfect that's what I want to hear yeah okay the and I just want to say that's why
042we did our survey much earlier this year so that we could get those results early on and have this whole rest of the year to really be working towards a summer who do we the chick survey is a standardized survey so that's why like what we do as followup can give us that chance to get that more anecdotal and personal information and I appreciate that cuz I think since people ask like okay well you have this stuff they're doing like what are you going to do about it now type of things as long as we have a plan as far as what's not okay from the rest of the board um I had two questions um and doesn't have to be answered now I noticed um there was not progress on the mtss uh for
043math so just at at some point when we have an idea about what we're doing I'd love a presentation on that and our idea about where what our goal is I um I actually have updated that um to show that it is now in progress um at the time I put this together it had not yet started but um we have actually been visiting our cost meeting processes at each of the school sites which is can you clarify for the public what cost is and cost what is that coordination of services team um which is a precursor to an SST but really School staff um with various lenses coming together um with student referrals to see what interventions can be put in place to remedy the situation before it would rise to the level of
044an SST before anything would rise to the level of special ed testing but to try and intervene early and monitor how those interventions are working so thank you for asking that and I I just was going to add record um related to the math we were actually in a meeting today where that was the focus so they had gone in and looked at all students math scores and then put a plan into place for example of what interventions that student would attend Saturday Academy Wednesday tutoring um they created a learning plan with each of those students to make sure that there was a clear Target with that teacher and then they created a check-in Mentor with them to check in around their progress so I was impressed to see that today as well no that's
045amazing um two other follow-up things the one I appreciated the following up regarding the tech at home um my please correct me if I'm wrong my understanding right now is like 3rd through 8th is supposed to be taking Chromebooks back and forth are do we have Tech things that we think are going on at home for TK through second or not like as in them needing to have access to that Tech um so right now I haven't heard that from the teachers I haven't heard any feedback I don't know chrisha I haven't heard any feedback from parents either around feeling like their students can't access learning at home um anything that's going home with that grade level is not Technology based and they don't have the same out of school I ready requirement for them
046to to use that technology um and for that it's yeah 100% of our families have internet access and that's thanks to um the great work of our liaison who are connecting families with lowcost no cost internet or getting them connected with a Hotpot so that we can make sure they have access if they need it and the only thing I just I've heard in my own personal experience of talking to people sometimes with I ready with the little kids it having you know more than like 10 minutes you lose them so I know that some teachers just that in my my working District have you know talked to parents about doing my like having access to my path at home and that may be something we want or may be something that we don't want
047but just in terms of um 40 minutes if that's an expectation for K through two is in two different subjects is really a lot um the last thing that I had and it kind of circles back around to math but also um I know we've talked about in the Friday letter that the the district is putting forward a response um in regards to the uh screening for dyslexia that the state is mandating and just to H for us to have an awareness when we're doing that the dyslexia presents itself in math too so that we're looking on either side thank you and we just um at District curriculum Council on Monday heard from presenters from two of the approved screeners um and we're able to see in one of them where you know numbers are
048also part of the rapid naming um but we're really diving into those programs to determine we have one more we're exploring and then we'll determine which one we think will be the best fit for our district thank you and thank you for considering that you're welcome I don't have any questions just going off of piggyback writing on what Jacob said just thank you you know for um the presentation it's a lot of information but also for us to see you know what we need to work on and how we're going to get there so thank you for that okay thank you okay moving on to item 8.2 it's the public hearing gr Transportation plan for the school year 2024 2025 it's 6:48 p.m at this time I'd like to open up uh the hearing has
