009student honory representative. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the Stockton Unified School District board for the opportunity to stand before you this evening and accept this recognition. I would not be standing before you today without the unwavering support from Pacific Law Academy staff, my peers, my friends, my family, and my loved ones. My parents, however, are by far my biggest supporters. My parents have never given me, not once, any ide um given me the idea that I couldn't achieve any goal that I set forth for myself. I would not be the person I am today without their guidance and their never- ending support. Pacific Law Academy is so much more than just a school. It is a community that inspires, challenges, and motivates one another. Our teachers encourage their students to step

010past limitations that they set for themselves. They truly make the impossible seem possible. Our small nate community form fosters a welcoming and supportive environment where students well-being is top priority. At Pacific Law Academy, we are not only prepared academically, but we are also prepared to step up and be leaders in our own community. We are taught to use our voices with purpose, one that will inspire others inside and outside of the classroom. After having spent nearly four years at Pacific Law Academy, I am proud to have grown into my own voice. It is because of the community's encouragement and belief in me that I found the confidence to serve as president of the Associated Student Body. My position is a direct reflection of the trust that students and uh students and teachers share alike. It

011is truly an honor to represent Pacific Law Academy today. Thank you again to the board of education for this recognition and for your continued dedication to the students of this district.

Iette will be the timekeeper. Individual speakers shall be allowed three minutes to address the board. The board shall limit the total time for public input on each item to 20 minutes. Madame President, we currently have three comment cards uh regarding item 6.54. The first speaker is Miss Anelles Romero de Cortez. Yeah. Okay. Luther

028King. for decorative. Franklin High School. Carlostoresident Garcia. Franklin High School. Claudia. foreign. Foreign Franklin High School. Gracias. Okay. Okay. Good evening, board of directors, president and superintendent. Today I begin with a powerful quote from M Mr. Martin Luther King in honor of Black History Month. To have enemies, it is not necessary to declare war. It is enough to say what you think. When expressing an opinion turns into a risk, many opt for a step backward. watch the bulls from the sidelines and limit yourself to a decorative role. I made a decision to say what I don't like and and I think back to September when I was obligated to approve what did not happen. I am about to file my third complaint, but I know I will not receive a response, much less one in

029my favor. That is sad. That is why I am I am here. I accuse the Franklin administration of violating the education state law, violating Robert's rules, and violating district procedures, education codes. They have Miss Ces Claudius Solis in the council acting as president and secretary when she is only a guest in the meeting as stated in all the minutes. She was never elected as secretary. The president, Mr. Jesus Garcia, does not have children in the district, which makes him a community member. I address you, Miss Maida Franco, as chief of the police department. Um, I've placed in my complaint I on January 29th to constituent services requesting that you guarantee my safety at Franklin High School because I have been subjected to pushing and shoving by Mrs. Claudia Solis. I have not received a response.

030I need to attend the school for uh appointments with my son's counselor, workshops, meetings, and sports events for my children. I'm afraid because of the aggressive and mocking way Claudia Solis is along with the principal that allows her to act in such way and even laughs at how she acts and what she does to me. I ask that you place a restraining order against Claudia Solis as she has no need to have contact with me. Finally, the SIPA was adopted on December 2nd, but it was never reviewed nor analyzed according to state laws or district education codes before being approved by you, the board. What it says on the document that was uploaded to the district web p website is false. During ELAC on August 21st, only a summary was presented. This was this one

031and the one that took place on February 2nd. >> Thank you. >> Are you finished by chance? >> No. Okay. >> I have like two paragraphs. >> Okay. Can you finish? >> Yes. Thank you. Um, okay. Uh, Miss Melva Mansia met with us in the district parking lot and told us that Mrs. Claudia Solis told her that the district obligated her to make the approval on August 26, 2025, that the entire district is corrupt. and she contacted Alysia Rico by text so that she could provide uh Miss Lorena Duran with the phone number to the person in charge of the 209 uh social media time 209 time social media page to publish um everything uh they intend on March 10th we revise the minutes from September through January. All these open minutes speak badly about

032the Franklin administration in charge of uh which is Lai and Solis. Thank you. The next speaker is Miss Lorenna Duran. Good afternoon. Um, last time I was here, it was because, uh, Franklin High School, I was violated of my rights by Mr. Sally, who was yelling at me. And I want to remember you what she said uh, with these words. She was yelling at me while I was at the schoolside council. And she said, "Um, that's enough. you you you must leave and this is because I was showing these documents that you have in front of you. Uh some of these uh all of them most of them actually uh there are the recommendations and asurances that were part of the SIPA for Franklin High School. The first page it was um presented to you

033to approve on August 26. Uh and on the very top on 3.0 zero that never happened. The August 26 uh meeting it was cancelled uh by Mrs. Solis. So uh we were expected after contacting the state and federal to eliminate that part. But what happened is on the Nate's page on the um on the one that it was signed by Miss Ludy on December 4, 2025, she kept saying that August 26 meeting happened and that is proof that she was claiming. So um and then the next page that you have is uh a document that it was uh sure by Miss um by the state and federal um I forgot her name. Um but it was uh a document where they said that they were going to go ahead and present it to you as

034part of the SIPA to be approved and um it says that the 3.0 happened on May 27 and now what it makes me wonder is like why do we need then a fourth one right where uh you have now to approve today is the last page is where uh on 3.0 zero is leave blank. So how long does it take to fabricate um uh things if it was the truth it would it be um on the first time? So and instead of like uh getting transparency and the truth which that's what Mrs. Cortez and I am demanding. We're not asking for anything less and we would not stay uh silenced. we are getting intimidated and that's what Miss Sally um uh Franklin High School a staff member did to me in an attempt to uh

035keep me quiet. But guess what? I will keep continue speaking up. I will not stay silent. I don't owe anyone anything and you will see me here until this sees the truth and transparency. The next speaker is Monica Oliviveres. She's not here. All right. Thank you. Item 5.2, oral suggestions and comments from the community regarding non-aggenda items. >> Madame President, we do not have any public comment cards to report. Okay. >> Thank you. Moving on to item 6.1, approval of consent items. Christina will read the oral announcement. Does any trustee have any item they would like removed for separate consideration as an action item? After any items are removed for separate consideration, there will be a vote on the consent items without any discussion. Madam President, I would like to move item 6.54 to action

036and then item 6.57 to action. Okay, we have a a motion on the floor to approve consent items with the exception of 6.54 and 6.57. >> Oh, I didn't make the motion, but that's my motion. Sorry. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. Sorry. >> Officially now the motion was made. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Okay. We have a first and a second. Any discussion? Okay. Hearing none, roll call vote. >> President Colon, >> yes. >> Vice President Priest, >> yes. >> Clerk Martin, >> yes. >> Trustee Donaire, >> yes. >> Trusty Perez, >> yes. >> Trustee Stevens, >> yes. >> Trusty Silva, >> yes. >> Motion passes unanimously. >> Okay. So, now we'd like to start with item 6.54. That is the um approval of the 2526 school plan for student achievement SIPA

037for SUSD schools receiving title one funding. Did you have a uh well let's give uh the motion and the second and then we'll have the discussion. Is there a motion? Just a second. I actually did the incorrect one. I apologize. I just want to make sure that this is the one. No, this is the correct one. This is for Franklin. Correct. Yes. Okay. Do we have a second? >> Oh, I'll second. >> Well, you're you're you've made the motion. >> Wait, what are we doing? I'm sorry. >> Because I'm going to Yeah, I'll >> What's happening now? >> Yeah, because we're doing we're taking the items one by one. So, we're starting with the two Got it. >> So, we're doing the first motion, second motion, and then discussion. So, we've got a motion >>

038to approve 6.54. Is there a second? I second. >> Thank you. Okay, now we're open for discussion. >> Okay, so is there someone to speak on 6.54 and kind of what's happening with the concerns from the parents over at Franklin? Okay, so Ashley, come on up. Brian and Miss Lahley. Oh, actually >> you want to go the rundown? >> You can go first. >> Yeah, >> so the the the concerns were brought to ED services and we went through the um one by one with state and federal uh and they were comfortable enough with the corrective actions and I'll let I'll I'll let Ashley speak to it. Uh but just one of them for example that we made sure that all Franklin administrators were provided school site council training um to make sure that the

039corrective actions were met. We've been attending the past few school site council meetings to make sure protocols and are adhered to. Uh we just came from a 2-hour school site council meeting prior to the board meeting today. That was rather productive. Um and with that I'll let Ashley speak specifically to the asurances pages and the dates. before she speaks is uh were our parents allowed to attend that meeting today that spoke? >> Yeah. Well, everybody was allowed to attend. Um I believe the two that spoke were not in attendance, but um everybody was It was a packed room. Um but everybody was allowed to attend from my understanding. There was no you got to stay home or anything like that. >> Do we know if they were given information about this meeting today? >> Yes,

040it's posted for the Franklin community. >> Is Mr. Mr. Dan and Miss Cortez, are they members of the school site council? >> Miss Cortez is a member of the school site council. >> Okay. >> I'm sorry. Repeat the question, trustee. Um, Vice, >> my question were were the two parents notified of this meeting today at Franklin in regards to the school site council? They since they're here, they would be able to tell us if they hadn't known that meeting occurred and and if they were able to attend. Is that is that the parent you asked about? >> Yeah. Okay. >> They're asking. >> Yes, it was posted. And so Lee typically sends out an email as well to the parents that are on the school side council. >> Question. >> That's that's not the question

041I asked. I asked were those was that specific parent aware of the meeting that occurred today and since that parent is here I'm asking her to nod yes or no yes I did receive an invitation from Mrs. Scalia to this uh to the participation for this meeting. I decided not to participate because I don't feel safe being around uh to these people and that's why I did not go to the meeting. The invitation was supposed to come from the new secretary, not from her. And I did not get it from him. And he was selected. Okay. And I decided not to assist because I was behave I was I did not agree to receive the invitation by Mrs. because she's not part of this committee and she's just a guest and that's why I decided

042not to go. >> Thank you so much. >> Does the board have further questions from administration or >> Yes. >> theures. Okay. Thanks. >> Yeah. actually if you could speak to the asurances pages and you've been at the last several meetings as well. You can speak to what's occurred at those meetings. >> Okay. Um so the asurances page is completed by the high school principal. So Miss Solis or Miss >> Miss Lahy, I'm sorry. >> Um and what they are is they are attesting that they did um they did approve at their school site council meeting and that they did review it with their ELAC. And so um the only two required sections are the two dates that are on it today. That third is a value ad that we often add. Um but it's

043up to the sites really of what they are attesting to. So um it was presented back in August. Um they had a school site council meeting scheduled. That school site council meeting as you notice they all fall on the same board meeting nights. And so it went to board with the assumption that they would have quorum. They didn't have quorum and we were unable to pull it in time. So that's why the SIPA is coming back to you um again to get approved. And I was at the December meeting and there was the SIPA was the only thing on the board on the agenda and it was the only thing discussed and approved. So >> So the difference in the date for August 26 and May 27th is what? It's what the principal is attesting

044to with the fact that they reviewed their last year 2425 plan. >> Okay. >> So, yeah, >> in May, not August. >> Yes. So, it's um based on their recollection of the dates and so it's whatever that date is for reviewing last year's plan, which is I believe blank on this one. >> Okay. Can you show me this one because now the data is blank on the last page. >> Yeah, I was signed. >> I'm hoping you can take a look at those dates as well because >> this would definitely be confusing >> as it's confusing to us >> and that's the document that Miss Duran provided to us. >> Yes. So this first document was the document that was provided at the um August 26th board meeting and if you notice that Miss Slotty

045signed it on the 13th. So in it was in anticipation that this was all going to be done before the board meeting. Um we attempted to send it back to board which is that next document and that's where the error occurred where they put the same August 26 date and it wasn't caught before it came to board if that makes sense. >> Who's in Can I ask a question? Who's in charge of these these documents of overseeing these documents? >> Ultimately, it's the sites. They are the ones that are attesting to the dates and that these events happened. >> Okay. >> So, we have looked at our policies and our procedures and how we can support the sites better so that this kind of thing doesn't happen in the future. Can can you confirm on

046the third page that says 113205 that it actually should have been signed and dated 1132026? >> Yes. >> Was that just an error? Okay. >> And then on the fourth page, there's no dates and she has a signature on 218 2022. >> Yes. >> Is that an error on her behalf as well? No, that one was left blank because she was not sure of the annual review date and we didn't want to send anything that was incorrect and because that piece is not required, we left it blank. >> Wouldn't wouldn't the annual review dates be in the minutes documented from school site council? >> From this process, we've done a lot of internal reviewing and that's where a lot of the training came from. So for um Franklin specifically, there has been a lot of

047training around school site council minutes, agendas, um everything that's required. So that this year going forward, we're not having um information. Everything is provided within their minutes. So one of the things that we discovered within this process is the minutes were not sufficient. And so we are providing them with coaching and support to be able to bring them back up to where they need to be. >> So are you asking us today to approve this with insufficient minutes? >> The minutes are there for the December 2nd meeting. The date above for the 2425 is a value ad that we've done um across the district and it's something that we're looking at whether it needs to continue or not. >> Are we able to receive copies of those? because I don't see that here. >> Copies

048of >> the December 2nd minutes. I don't think they're done yet. Are they done? This is what we sent me. Like the 25256 went out on ELA and she got statements. She told her you guys asked her to get statements and that that's what the >> So what just to clarify what we're asking for are the minutes for the school site council meeting that occurred on December 2nd and so we're going to take just a quick minute because I think we can find that on your um school website under school site council page. >> I didn't bring my laptop. >> I don't think that they're I don't >> I don't believe they're done because they haven't been approved by their school site council yet. >> Oh, okay. Yes, that's that's been one of the things

049that we've been working with them on. >> Help me understand. >> That would be the site. >> So, school site council is required four meetings per year. All meetings coming up to the next meeting. The minutes must be approved for the previous minutes. So, there should have been minutes approved in January recognizing actions taken by the committee in December. >> So, there are no minutes. So part of what's happening is we have um parents that are very very passionate and we're trying to make sure that their input is properly recorded in the minutes which is part of the training that Franklin's been provided. So that is creating a delay in their minutes. Um we have um parents that were here as part of that school site council meeting. I was present at that meeting. I

050know Miss Ciss was present. >> So was you there? Yeah. >> So there's so there's only two meetings minutes is what you're you're telling us and that's what you would like for us to approve. >> The ELAC minutes the ELAC committee is a different committee and they reviewed what was in um what was included for the English learner students and provided input. And then that December 2nd date is the date that is being um The problem is right even as a parent as the students say the math isn't math here right and so you're bringing this to the board for us to approve it and now you can't support what you would like for us to approve so I'm asking you if you're asking us to approve this incompletely >> do we just need to

051give them a So, the December 2nd, Do you have the December 2nd movement to >> go look in our >> Are they done? Are they done or was that the one you're meeting with next week to confirm? >> No, she said that those were >> um I have I have a quick question. >> What does safety look like at these site at these um parent meetings? >> Safety. We have CSMs at the front doors. People have to buzz themselves in. Oh, sorry. We have CSM at the front doors and or um one of our clerical and they have to be buzzed in. They have to give their driver's license and it has to be um they get printed a badge. >> Is that what you're talking about? >> No, I'm speaking on behalf of the

052parent. Um she expressed that she doesn't feel safe as far as I believe she it's alleged physical is getting physical at these at these meetings. So, I don't know if I should direct that to Chief Ramos or what are we doing about that on campus for these Oh, Chief Frank. So, sorry. >> Who is Ramos? I don't know. >> Um, can I just say something? Um, um, there is, uh, like she said, a constituent services complaint. So, that should be an investigation that's ongoing. >> All right. Thank you so much, everyone. I appreciate you all speaking on on this today. I would ask for the board and I would like to make a motion to table uh this agenda item. >> Not not yet. I just I have one other question just a clarifying question.

053How do we define um the AVID school? Um when we talk about Franklin being an AVID school, is it for all kids? Is it for some kids? Is it just a pilot? How are we defining this as um an AVID school? And do all kids receive the AVID resources? So AVID is they all have open access to join the AVID program. Okay. Just like they now do for IB. They have access to join IB classes if they choose. We have been supporting any students that want to be in AVID to be in AVID. They take college field trips and um they also she encourages her kids to take the IB classes and then she supports them through tutorial the tutorial process in the AVID class. >> Okay. So just because I attend an AVID school

054doesn't mean that I necessarily have to do the AVID resources or classes. I could decide that I don't want to partake in that piece. Correct. Absolutely. Okay. That's what I need. It's a choice. Yes. >> Got it. Okay. Just for clarification. Okay. You >> trusty Stevens um the request is to table this item so we can bring this back. I just needed to clarify AVID because I think there there needed to be that clarification because parents are believing that because it's an AVID school all kids receive these resources but it's not it is more of an opt in. I want to take those supports and services. So I wanted to make that piece clear so that parents understood but yeah we can go to the table the motion. >> Can can you would you like

055um >> to amend your motion to table this item? >> Yes. >> Yeah. So, I make a motion to um uh table item five, I'm sorry, 6.54. >> And then Perez, would you like to continue to second that? >> I second. >> Okay. Thank you. So, we'll um we can you um go with the roll call vote to table the item. >> President Colon, >> yes. >> Vice President Priest, >> yes. >> Clerk Martin, >> yes. Trusty Donaire, >> yes. >> Trusty Perez, >> yes. >> Trusty Stevens, >> yes. >> Trusty Silva, >> yes. >> Motion passes unanimously. >> We had also um called out item 6.57 as a action item. And I'm wondering is this is this Trusty Stevens, was this the is this an item that you wanted to speak on? It's the

056approval of PQ bids comprehensive web-based solution. >> Yes. Okay. >> Yes. I just had one question. I just wanted to know like how does this create equity for um contractors looking to um have a contract with SUSD. I just had that was just my small question on this one. >> Yes. So, the the contractors for only projects that are over a million dollars in state bonds and for MEPs, mechanical, electrical, uh, plumbing have to pre-qualify um through the through a platform. And we use PQ bids, excuse me, because um, uh, then then we have a list of the contractors. If they're not on the PQ bids list, they cannot uh bid on our projects that are over a million dollars and therefore we disqualify their bid. >> That's all I want. >> Okay, no worries.

057Yeah, of course. Thank you. >> Okay, thank you. And can we get a motion? I'm going to read read this out. So, this is for the approval of PQ Bids comprehensive web-based solution for the pre-qualification of pro prospective biders for the facilities and planning departments. Do we have a motion and a second? Oh, a motion to approve item uh 6.57. >> I second. >> Okay, we have a first and a second. Any further discussion? >> Yes. >> Okay, roll call vote, please. >> President Colon, >> yes. >> Vice President Priest, >> yes. >> Clerk Martin, >> yes. >> Trusty Donaire, >> yes. >> Trusty Perez, >> yes. >> Trusty Stevens, >> yes. >> Trusty Silva, >> yes. >> Motion passes unanimously. >> Okay, thank you. Moving on to item 7.1, midyear update for the 2025

0582026 local control and accountability plan LCAP by Dr. Crystal Andrews, LCAP coordinator. >> Thank you. Okay. All right. Can you hear? Okay. Good evening, President Cologne, Vice President Priest, Board Trustees, and Superintendent Dr. Rodriguez. Uh my name is Dr. Crystal Andrews. I support with the development of our LCAP. And I'm here tonight to present to you our uh LCAP midyear review. This presentation is a snapshot from July 1st, 2020 or 2025 to December 31st, 2025. And it shows how we're progressing uh through our grow our goals. Um, I'll be presenting a brief overview of the requirements of our LCAP goals, our a budget overview for parents, a snapshot of our metrics and implementation, followed by our ex expenditures and how we engage our uh educational partners, and then I'll be ending with any questions that

059you may have. Okay. So, while we're always excited to share our success about how our district is progressing, uh there are some legal requirements. So, Senate Bill uh 114 states that we do need to present a midyear update uh on or before February 28th. Um you should have in front of you our full our PowerPoint as well as our full uh midyear report. Um it's about it's a very thick document in that packet. Um and then in addition you have the midyear updates for the dependent charters. Um for our audience we also have uh the powerpoints in the back and there are QR codes if they would like to view the documents. And so the full report will give you the full details of all of our goals. But again I'll just be presenting a

060snapshot um of how we are progressing. So we have uh eight LCAP goals of which one through six um are are funded through LCFF based and supplemental funds and then goals seven and eight are our equity multiplier sites which are funded through our equity multiplier funds. Um and I will say we are currently in year two of year three of our LCAP um of our strategic plan. This is the largest collaboration within our district as everyone's work is embedded in this um all to support student achievement. And now for our budget overview for parents. Uh this was adopted in June 2025 and so there are no changes. It just states what our overall uh funds were are for um our LCAP this year. And then for our metrics, um we as I previously mentioned, this

061is just a snapshot, a moment in time, uh from uh July 1 to December 31st, 2025. And so we wanted to highlight um areas in which we've shown significant improvement. So looking at goal one um we ha uh our goal one which is our um academic achievement um you can see that we have made growth in our science cast CTE completion our AP exam rates and our high school graduation rates in goal two um while you may see that negative number that is actually good that means that our chronic absentee rates have decreased um overall for growth goal two and then um goal six uh our chronic absenteeism for our African-American black students thrive again has decreased. So again these are just areas in which we've made significant uh improvement. Um and the complete document

062that you have will list all the metrics for all of our LCAP goals. And then I'm moving on to our LCAP actions. And so for every goal that we have, there are actions that are listed. And so we have to report on how we're doing with our implementation. And so since we are in year two, we are at 100% of ongoing implementation um with all of our plans. And so all the uh project leads, they had to submit um a summary of where they were at their project implementation. And so in reviewing those, that's how we were able to determine that we're ongoing implementation. As part of our requirement, we are also uh required to show what we have spent through July 1st through December 31st. And so that is that second column there where

063we've expended our funds. And so by December 31st, we're about 50% um through. And so that is uh we are on target um to meet our expenditures for the end of the school year. Um that last column there, it just shows you the projected amounts that we um we're projecting to spend for the second half of of this fiscal year. And then so another requirement with our LCAP is to engage all of our educational partners. And so our educational and partners include parents, uh staff, students, um anyone that's invested in Stockton Unified. And so as you can see, this is just um a sample of all the engagement events that we've done so far. So we do try to have at least an event every month. And so um it's not an exhaustive list. It's

064just a sample of um what we've done. We've held workshops. we've gone into school sites um to meet with uh students um and so we'll be continuing that for the rest of the year and through that engagement we do have to get uh educational partner feedback and so this is um an analysis of all that feedback um it contains qualitative and quantitative feedback and within that uh we have two buckets that it's um two two themes that appeared, expanding opportunities and career pathways and then strengthening equity and transparency in our district. And so with that feedback, we are always engaging um our educational partners. And so we look to continue to get feedback on our LCAP. And so we have our LCAP survey and we always encourage all of our educational partners uh to complete

065the survey um so that we can look at that um and come to the table and and look at our LCAP. And so with that said, I would like to say thank you and if you have any questions, I will take them. >> Thank you, Dr. Andrews. And I'll open it up. Anybody have any questions or comments? >> Can you speak to what you all are hearing from the students? So, I noticed that you guys are a little bit heavy on the student component, making sure that they're engaged. What are you hearing from the students? >> Um, some very interesting things. Um, one that made me laugh was, um, they want, uh, vending machines at schools. Uh, so we had a great conversation about that. Uh but one of the uh I went into one

066of the plus uh schools and or one of the plus programs and students were really intrigued about electives um saying oh they got they have electives in high school and they were interested in electives uh for seventh and eighth grade. >> Um how are you incorporating the parents? >> So with parents um we do hold workshops. So we've held two workshops uh through this moment in time. Um and we also attend uh pack meetings. So we'll give updates during pack meetings. Um and we also have our survey which is it's live. It stays open. >> What is their feedback on the LCAP >> for the parents? >> Yes. Um, I can take note of your question and then I can consult with my team and get back to you in the B2B. >> Thank you.

067>> Okay. Okay. Any other questions? >> Um, if you could also provide maybe a few dates for this year um so that maybe we could u participate and join in on that. >> We'll do. >> All right. Well, I think that's all we have for you. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. All right. Uh, moving on to item 7.2, broad course of study and DNF rate update by Ty Pford, administrator of specialty programs, and Brian Beerman, director of educational services department. >> Good evening, uh, President Cologne, Vice President Priest, Dr. Rodriguez and board members. Uh the broad course of study is so broad it takes two of us. I'm kidding. Uh but we are going to go through this. There's a lot of data and we want we're going to have um stopping points

068for you to we broke it up for you. So if you have questions uh we chunked it for you. So the broad course of study our KPI and I highlighted some uh chart market and charting here. This is what students really are exposed to the curriculum. they have access when we talk about a world-class education. This is what we're talking about at our secondary schools. Uh if you pull our information off the dashboard, we have historically always met this indicator and we're improving it. Um there's a lot of verbiage there that and you someone just mentioned electives uh at secondary. I I we're extremely robust. I would argue that we're second to none with what we do with our secondary ed programming. But you can see Mesa, PLTW, Project Lead the Way, Avid, IB. There's

069quite a bit our students have access to. And we're going to show a real quick video from the CDE so it has you have a better understanding before we move on. >> Broad course of study. Is your school district ensuring a well-rounded education for all students? Does your child's school offer classes in core subjects like math, science, and English, as well as performing or visual arts and career technical education? The answers to these questions fall under the broad course of study performance indicator of the California school dashboard. The dashboard is an online tool that helps us understand how schools and districts are performing and where improvement may be needed. Let's take a closer look at the broad course of study indicator and see how your school district's achievement is measured. The broad course of study

070indicator looks at whether or not students across the school district have access to and are enrolled in a well-rounded program that includes a diverse list of courses which can be found in the California Education Code. For grades 1 through six, the required courses include science, English, mathematics, social sciences, visual and performing arts, and health and physical education. Courses in grades 7 through 12 include world languages, applied arts, and career technical education in addition to courses that fall under the A to G requirements for California college admission. When assessing if a district meets the broad course of study indicator, it receives one of three ratings, met, not met, or not met for two or more years. A district that has met the broad course of study indicator has reported on whether their curriculum not only includes

071core subjects like math and English, but also classes like woodshop, drawing, French, and nutrition, so that every child receives a well-rounded education. The broad course of study indicator along with the other performance indicators are part of the California school dashboard which goes beyond test scores to provide a more complete picture of how schools and districts are meeting the needs of our students. To learn more about the California school dashboard and its other indicators thank you. So we are a district of choice. You can see that um depending on the school there's a there potentially is a different schedule. So whatever the schedule or the what fits the student best those are the options for our students. Our comprehensives are t typically a f a version of a 4x4 block whether it's AB or traditional. Here's

072just examples of our pre-red sheet. So, if you are a sophomore through senior at Edison, you can see the offerings that they have anywhere from AP Spanish to Chinese to French to native Spanish. You can see the next one. I think I broke it. Uh, Franklin, uh, you can see CTE, auto body, building and construction, IB math, IB chemistry, etc. There's quite a bit for our students to choose from. Here is HCA, medical terminology, Spanish, art, honors, ethnic studies. Uh you can every single one of our secondary schools has pre-reg. They just got out of it in the month of January. We're looking at numbers now building getting ready to build their master schedules and section build for next year. Uh but you can see they have quite a bit to choose from. And with

073that, I think Tai is going to talk about AP and duel. >> Good evening. Uh so AP dual uh enrollment and IB are some of the things that I help support out of my position. And so we've got a little bit here about AP and dual credit. These are both opportunities for the students to be able to earn college credit. With AP, obviously you've got to pass the test at the end. And with duel, if you if you have a passing grade in the course, you get your college credit that way. And so there there's some different options for the students that way. Um but AP is taught by our staff. Dual enrollment typically is taught by someone from Delta or another college staff. Uh and both of these are available to all students. U

074it's obviously their choice, but we have many options for them. You'll see here uh because this is a report based on last year's number of 2425. we increased our courses offered to 21 uh in regards to AP courses uh with a 98% passage rate which which has been trending upward. Um and then you'll also see sections offered a little lower and students number of students are a little lower as well. Part of that is a combination of uh declining enrollment and then students are choosing more dual enrollment than AP now. Um, sometimes it's hard to convince them a test versus not a test, right, to get that college credit. And then you'll see that we offer really wide range 21 diverse offerings with options for more even virtually. Um, you know, and the key here

075is that students take the courses. You know, it it's a bonus if they pass that test or earn that IB diploma as we'll talk about later. Um, but by just exposing themselves to a higher uh level of rigor, um, they're showing that they're more prepared for college. Uh, and when they complete these classes, whether it's dual or AP, u, it's making it more attractive when they apply. um last year and this year with in the curriculum department the curriculum specialists have been working with teachers specifically in their um many versions of PLC's for these courses uh to support them uh and have done sessions for students outside of the school day to help prepare them for the tests. You'll see through this bit here that it breaks things down by course and who's enrolled and

076that's often affected by if there's a similar dual enrollment course offered at the same time as AB or it's student choice and allowing them all those choices. So some stu some some years we have certain things go up and some years certain things go down and then um but we saw a real increase in US history this year uh statistics um and those um those are just a few to point out. The other piece of this here uh on the chart is uh broken down by race and ethnicity. Now this won't match the overall number of the 911. That's because many students are taking more than one course, which and when you add all those up, that will match the number. But we saw uh large increases in Hispanic uh African-American students uh taking AP

077courses. Dual enrollment at Delta College, while we have a few uh less courses taken. Um some of that is due to Delta struggling with having enough professors to to support all of our courses that we want to offer at times. But you'll see in the total academic year students enrolled at least in one dual enrollment course uh increased significantly to uh over a thousand students. Okay. And then some of our most popular courses, one I'd like to point out is soil science. The students actually when I was principal at Seikka, we would haul bags of dirt, provide them pots and plants, they'd take them home, they'd grow them from a seed with the professor. It was every it was all hands on deck getting that delivered and and making sure they could take stuff home

078with them to actually do a soil science class uh and and re receive lab credit for it which we often struggle for for that third and fourth year. And then you can see that we've had significant increases at Chavez and Edison High School in the number of dual enrollment uh students uh who have enrolled and with that total at the bottom of 1,130. Our growth continues with our ethnic studies offerings. You can see the growth since 2019 has been significant uh with it at 1317 for this past year. The number of sections offered or the different unique courses are eight. So every one of our secondary schools is offered an ethnic studies course and it's already a graduation requirement with us prior to the state mandating it. Uh so you can see the growth there.

079You can see the uh unique offerings uh two of which are happening this year, the Asian-American studies and ethnic studies ELA. So it's actually uh English credit uh with ethnic studies in it. Uh her story uh women's history, Filipino history, we're doing a phenomenal a phenomenal job in uh Aldrich and his team of really offering more and more ethnic studies options for our students. And that again is reflective on their pre-eread sheets because students have to want to take these courses. They're not mandated. They're electives. They have to want to take them. Uh if they didn't want to take them, they wouldn't be offered. So that's it's it's a good place to be in. Uh the seal of biiteracy. Um you can see there's significant growth there. And with the seal, uh we neglected to

080put the seal of of civic engagement on here. And there's good growth there. you would see a graph that said six one year, 51 the next, and potentially 134 this year. We are trending up in all directions with our SEALs, our IB courses. Uh again, specific to Franklin, this is Franklin specific because this is the only school that offers it. You saw a little bit of dip there dip there because we move sections to 7th grade at PYA. Uh but their number of courses offered 107. The number of students in IB is is up. it will be up significantly next year because all their sophomores took my Spanish this year. So that 1379 will be almost 2,000 when we report this time next year uh with the growth that IB is having. And here's some

081um verbiage on IB. And I think the biggest that Ty and I have been working on for I think what maybe a year and a half is the PLC conversations with PYA and Franklin. We're really trying to build K12 so they're not isolated from each other because a lot of times what we have seen is kids will go to PYA, they'll get all the IB experience, but then they don't go to Franklin. Uh they go to Seikka or they go to Stockton Collegiate, which is outside of our district. Um they don't go to Franklin. So Franklin has to restart kids in IB their freshman year. So we're trying to make that more of a K12 piece. It's really uh been some productive conversations. I think we're making some headway to make sure our kids metriculate

082from PYA to Franklin. Um, our arts data, Prop 28's doing its job. More and more kids are taking advantage of the um, art programming that we have. And again, this is elective programming. Kids have to sign up for it for us to offer it. And then we will stop there before we delve into grades. If anyone has any questions, I'll pause before we move on. All right, we'll move on. Uh, DNS, >> I'm sorry. Really, really quick. Really quick, you did say um because the seal of civic engagement isn't in here. You can give us those numbers like in >> We can definitely send you a B2B. The slide was made. We just didn't get it in time for um publishing the uh the deck, but we have the slide ready for you that we

083can send in to BDB. Absolutely. >> Okay. And I think I just wanted to mention I just wanted to say thank you for talking about um a little bit about the connection between um the the PYP program, MYP program and diploma program like trying to make that through line. We did hear a parent >> last few meetings talk about that. >> I think that would um and Ty and I have been speak Yeah. you want to add? It would address the data concerns if they have IB for 12 years versus four, right? Um uh and it would keep kids in our system and not necessarily leave to Stockton Collegiate. Not that going to SEAK is bad, Ty. I know you're a principal there. Um but it would make sense that if we are investing money

084and training in a program that it would track the kids for 12 years or they would want to go there. And sometimes it's the small school environment versus a large comprehensive. It it's we got to convince parents that Franklin's okay. Uh more exposure to Franklin, tours at Franklin, bringing Franklin teachers to PYA so they can feel comfortable with it because parents sign uh when they sign kids up to school, it's a comfort level thing. Oh, I know Tai. He's a great teacher. He's at Franklin. That's where my kids going to go. So, we're trying to break down those barriers for parents. And you want to Yeah. And Brian covered a lot of things uh that I was going to mention, but I do want to say I used to be the IB program director, too,

085back in the day. So, I'm I'm here for both. But uh uh we've started having meetings with PYA um as a representative for um the elementary and and the NYP piece along with the high school piece. So everybody's in the same room, Franklin and PYA, having those meetings with them. Uh really working on recruiting pieces, making sure that um that Franklin is getting in not just to PYA but all school sites. uh trying to increase those numbers and you know anecdotally talking to Evelyn Reyes the the program coordinator out of Franklin she said her numbers are are well ahead of normal and so we're we're definitely seeing some movement in increasing those numbers at Franklin >> any other questions about the broad courses study okay we can continue thank you >> moving into uh DNFS

086so this is a mid check uh as of last year but a real time as of January ruary as well of this year. Uh so the midyear check from 2025 to now uh we're you can see the trend down 20 uh 29% 27% 24%. And the reason why we combine DNFS is because we are an A throughG graduation requirement district. D's and F don't count for A through G. So a kid can get a D, but it's not an A through G completed course. And then here's where we're at midyear this year. So if you remember, so last year 24%, this year we're at 20.3 in January. So the trend is still down. So we're looking pretty good. We still have work to do. It's not I mean we're celebrating a downward trend for sure,

087but we know based on uh and here's the schools. So you can see most of them are sloping down uh with the exception of our two alt settings. Uh but you can see the trend down. We'll talk about subject matter wise but where we are seeing growth uh and you can see the negative 14.6 six at Merllo. We'll use Merllo as an example. When a principal or a school site knows their kids data individually, like I know Susanna's getting a D in biology and Chief Franco really doesn't like algebra. She she's failing it. You you're just you're in my proximity. Um you when they know their data, they can they can address their data. You can see the uh the students in the light purple based on grade level at Merllo or the kids passing

088everything. The kids that are shaded in the gray, the smaller number, are the kids that are potentially failing or getting a D in something. If I ask Justin today, the principal at Merllo, he can tell me who those seven seniors are, who the 22 juniors are, and this is happening not just at Merllo, but other secondary schools, so they can have the conversation. What is preventing Tai from passing algebra? How do I address it in real time and not wait for him to fail and it's too late? So part of our um concern there two typically the the two subjects that we fail the most are math algebra and biology science the two freshman entry courses to both at the high school level. Uh so we're really redesigning what we do with uh math. If

089you remember last year it's rethinking how we teach math. Building thinking classrooms is a trend across the board. We're in the uh a math adoption pilot right now. We're developing new courses to make math more attractive to students, whether it's personal finance, it's a math, whatever um gets them interested in it. Uh there's professional developments. I've been the principal at uh Seikka for a couple of days because the admin's out and Andrew Walter is there all week long training their math teachers on the new pedigogy. Uh and here's some of it. We have pre AP algebra for the freshman year and you can see where it starts to bifurcate depending on what happens in their freshman year. It could be pre-AP geometry or it could be rethinking because they need a little bit more time

090with algebra. And then that junior year it's AP potential calculus CTE math which might vary for site. So if I'm stag and I'm I have an A component, it's math specific to that. Or if I'm Franklin in construction, it's math specific to that. And then you can see what potentially they would take their senior year. Um science, another one that we are um addressing because we see the pot uh the failure rate concerns there. Um again, more PD um what those cycles look like. Every every time that we have STA PD days, it's math and science offerings for our teachers so they can uh improve their their strategies. Uh and then our CTE programming. Um there's quite a bit of data. Nathan will actually present at our next board meeting uh his KPI. So you'll

091see quite a bit more information here, but here was his snapshot up 64% since since 2021. And you can see the number of participants and completers have also increase. We expect those numbers to go up at the end of this year as well. Uh and this increased. You want to take this one? Yeah. >> So, this is not an exhaustive list, but we wanted to make sure that we pointed out that we're trying to increase opportunities for all students in a multitude of ways. And so, we had a I think a pretty successful specialy schools fair. We've increased site visits and recruiting visits, uh, like I mentioned about before, not just for IB, but for all specialty schools to provide them opportunities to recruit students into their programs. Uh CT showcases a a huge operation

092that is really successful in getting every kid in eighth grader in in front of what is going to be offered to them in high school. Um and then the eighth grade days at the sites. Um I've actually just recently a couple times been invited to some coffee hours to talk about kind of a mini version of the broad course of study in specialty schools. Um and in asked to provide some things for for newsletters. So word's getting out uh and we're we're definitely reaching a much wider audience. Go ahead. >> Yeah. And as far as the uh increased access and opportunities, um we're really trying to integrate into our special ed population as well. Uh we're piloting uh specific CTE courses at STAG. Um the ethnic studies specialty courses. Also, we're trying to match the

093interest and desire of the students. So you might see different offering at at at different sites and the collaboration with the counseling department to make sure the counselors are aware. So when Tai comes in to do his prerege and he has his sheet, the counselors are aware and can speak to the courses and they know their kids the best, right? You might be interested in this based on what you did last year and having those good conversations whether in their prerege window or with their individualized graduation plan. I can tell you that my son is in district. He's a sophomore and they've already built out his four years for him based on his initial interest. Doesn't mean it's set in stone, but here's the plan, right? CTE pathway, etc. Uh, you want to add a

094little bit to that. Um, when I'm not uh wearing my charter hat, this is the part I love. And um, I'm getting out to meet with with schools, programs, counselors, registars. Ryan and I are doing a lot of work with with reg the registars at the secretarial meetings to make sure things are done correctly and the system systems behind it so that kids don't fall through the cracks and they're offered everything at every site so that they can have those choices. Um and then uh in order to to support that we've got to do that work with with the counselors with the curriculum PD with working with the registars to make sure that they they have these choices >> and I think that is open for questions. That is it. >> When you talk about

095the individual um graduation plans, Mr. Beerman, how often are uh the parents acclimated to the plan and even to um support with tweaking to the plan to make sure that the students are successful? >> That's a great question. It should happen twice a year. >> Okay. >> Uh and it should be tweaked based on the performance. Like for example, we just got January data. So what the kids did in term one passed everything continue with the plan or there may be a pivot because there was a failure. Uh, and if there is a pivot, we would like in real time to address the failure, not wait to, oh, we'll take care of it your senior year and that's two years from now. It could be programming switches in term two that if Tai failed biology,

096why don't we deal with it in real time? Because even though he failed it, he may have learned something. So, let's be so let's attack him while his the retention's still there. So we adjust his term two classes so we get that course or we do it after school or potentially in the summer but it should be at least a couple of times a year. We're very fortunate in this district to have quite a few counselors that are amazing at the secondary level. Uh so it should be have multiple touch points and with panorama pathways for example we've made counselors lives easier. So when they click, they can see everything on Tai, what he if he's a a potential uh CTE pathway completer, A throughG, whatever. Uh and they don't have to dig through the

097data. It's click click, I can see Tai, click click, I can see Christina, and see if there's red flags or not, and then make an adjustment based on that. >> And does this data also are does it show up in parent view? Because I know our parents are using parent view. How do they see this plan in parent view that they have access like on their mobile device? >> As of right now, it would not show up in parent view as we look at a secondary grade book and we're cuz like some schools have Jupiter grades and we're trying to integrate that into Synergy's grade book. Uh for example, I get a Friday text every every Friday at like 3:30. I can see my son's grades and his attendance because it's text to me from

098that platform. Uh we're trying to integrate that into uh Edgupoint Synergy's gradebook. so everybody can see it. Uh I don't think the individualized graduation plans are there just yet because that's a pretty robust document. Um that that is taken home hard copy to the uh to the parent to see if they're not in the uh conversation. >> Good question. >> I was wondering uh what we're doing to help our kiddos, especially our ninth graders when we make that transition. And we know it's pretty tough, right, going from 8th grade to 9th grade because it's a new ball game, >> especially when it comes down to the math and sciences. Um, is there anything that we're doing to kind of help prevent before we get here? >> Absolutely. Because I know this is on Casey would

099I know he's eager to pop into U, but I just met with Marcus Sherman and Andrew Walters doing a summer bridge. Uh, they're going to do a four-week course to get students acclimated and it would go to elective credit. Um, acclimated to high school math and acclimated to high school science. Um, so when that transition happens in late J uh July, it's a lot easier, right? They're going to do it with our high school teachers plus I think a middle school teacher. We haven't worked out all the logistics yet, but that high school transition because we don't have middle schools anymore. So, we lost that kind of transition, that natural transition. Um, so we're trying to bridge that in the summer. So, we're going to do four weeks. That's the plan of the coursework and

100then we'll do three uh three days prior to the start of the relationship piece because that's important because our our freshmen are are scared of high school sometimes. Uh they don't know where to go. We'll give them all the tours. They don't know who's who. You're going from a campus of 400 to 2,000. It's it's it's intense. Uh so we're working on the summer. So we're giving them curriculum options and the relationship piece so they know who to go to. Their counselor before all the kids get there, the leadership teacher, the leadership kids, the plus kids, etc. while they there's no one on campus, just the freshman or incoming freshmen. Um, in in regards to the ethnic studies, what resources are available for our teachers to ensure that they feel prepared and supported to teach

101those specific curriculums? >> Great question. Uh, I know Melissa's team is constantly doing PD for on the PD days, we have a curriculum specialist that does PD uh, and is learning additional things at conferences and bringing it back home and training. So, there's intense training uh, for them. uh they go through uh curriculum adoptions with their new books that also is them really getting to understand the books, picking the books, what's the best fit. But the training for the ethnic studies teachers I I want to say is is really robust if I'm right. Uh just knowing who and if you've been on the campuses, the ethnic studies teachers are a special group of teachers. They are dynamic. They are bought into their curriculum. They're excited to teach it and that makes all the difference when

102the teacher loves it, right? Um, so it's it's a great group of people to work with and be exposed to. And that's why you see it reflective in the numbers that the kids want to take those courses. They don't have to. They can take US history, world history, whatever the old school, but they want to take cuz I know Tai is a great teacher. He's excited about it and I want to be in that class. It's they're recruiting themselves or recruiting with their uh the way that they teach. So, great question. >> Okay. Any further questions? Yeah. Okay. Okay, I think that's all we have for you, but thank you so much. >> Awesome. Thank you guys. All right, moving on to item 8.1, public hearing on successor collective bargaining agreement negotiations for the 2026

1032029 contract period between the Stockton Unified School District, SUSD, and the National Union of Health Workers and UHW, including presentation of initial sun sunshine proposals. Do we have um got a gabble in Madam President? >> They like when I do that. >> Do we have an open public hearing report or staff report? >> There's no presentation. >> Any public testimony? Trustee comments. Any trustee comments? Okay, hearing none, we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. Okay, moving on to item 10.1, board committee reports. Christina will read the oral announcement and announce each board committee for a report. Evette will be the timekeeper. Three minute limit per report. This is the opportunity to hear any reports from board committees specifically regarding prior or upcoming committee meetings. There will be a threeinut limit per report. Additionally, there

104will be a threeinut limit for discussion. The first committee report is the Sanwaqin County School Boards Association Executive Committee Trustee Donald Daire. >> There is no report. >> The next committee is the 1852 Foundation Committee Trustee Donald Daire. I have a report for that. Uh so uh we had met last month. It was attended by our COO Melinda Mesa, uh Dr. Michelle Hunton and Willie Gutierrez from um the business department for this year's um 1852 foundation committee. Uh this is our first one for 2026. The members are myself as chairperson, trustee Isabelle Perez, and Clerk Patrick Martin. Uh the committee was presented a brief context of what the foundation does in relation to student competitions, events, how the grant application works. We got um kind of a brief uh history of some of the things

105that we've done in the past like um fundraiser um the funds have um funded flights, hotels, raffles um and uh gifts to students, families during the holiday express. Um let me see here. In the next agenda for the committee, we'll be considering a um a new oversight structure for the 1852 Foundation. Um currently, right now, the accounting work for the committee is done by our staff. Um and right now, board trustees are, you know, are expected to facilitate a lead agenda discussion. So, we're going to see what that conversation looks like. Um and that next meeting is scheduled for March 2nd, this Monday. Thank you so much. The next committee is the board policy committee vice president Shauna Priest. All right. Um so we talked a little bit about the purpose of our committee. Uh

106the purpose of the board policy committee is to ensure that our district operates with clear legal sound equitable and student centered policies that guide decision-making across our system. Uh this committee serves as a working body that reviews existing board policies for clarity, compliance, and effectiveness. Recommends updates aligned with state and federal law. Ensures policies reflect the district's strategic priorities or that would be our LCAP. Identifies gaps where policy guidance is needed. Promotes transparency and shared governance and policy development. Uh our policy does not act independently of the full board. Instead, it strengthens governance by doing the detailed review work and bringing forward thoughtful recommendations for consideration and action by all seven trustees. As we know that strong policy creates clear expectations, consistent implementation across our schools, accountability systems, protection for our students and staff, and

107stability in leadership transitions. Ultimately, our board policy committee exists to ensure that our governance is proactive rather than reactive and that our policies reflect our values of equity, integrity, and student success. Uh we look forward to coming together to identify and creating some annual goals and deliberals deliverables for our community. Thank you. So just a um a reminder we are allowing time if anybody has questions that they want to ask of the committees um feedback uh either 1852 or policy committee and so going forward when we have our reports from the committees just know that the floor is open for a few minutes for questions and feedback. Does anyone have any questions for either committee? >> Uh my question is actually to the whole board as we start to work within our board policy committee.

108We would like to take a look at our current policies and uh would like for to hear some discussion from you all on what specific um hund section because we know there's a a whole lot a whole lot of right uh that you would like us to take a deep dive into first um so we could focus there and uh move forward. Just a comment on that too. Um, Vice President Priest, there's always, well, there's a board policy also inside of the B2B that folks should be looking at and making recommendations uh, for as well that we receive every Friday. Um, so you also can go to our our our website and on our website if you look under board of education you can see policies. I just thought that because sometimes you might not

109have them memorized um what the numbers are. So the the before thousands is the um philosophy, objectives, goals and comprehensive plans. Um, the entire 1,00 string is community relations. Um, 2,000 is administration, 3,000 is business and non-instructional operations. Um, 4,000 is personnel, 5,000 is students, um 6,000 is instruction, 7,000 is facilities, um 9,000 is the bylaws of the board um of education. And so I just wanted to mention those if there was one area where you wanted us to start. Um and so we would be going through Gamut um to be able to look at what board policies um are currently out to date because new laws have been put into place. Um and we can also as was mentioned by Vice President Priest, we can scan all of them um to see if we

110want to make any modifications. I think if um if there are no uh comments at this time, we can always forward your thoughts or recommendations to the chair or to no actually because of Brown Act, sorry, forward it to superintendent >> and then we'll disseminate that way. Um, we also we did the three minutes because we weren't sure how much time we needed. Um, we can president can extend if we want to have a continued conversation today as well. So, would you guys like an extra couple minutes to think about it or time to sleep on it? Email tomorrow. >> What are we thinking about? We're thinking about which which policy sorry which policy section would you like the committee to start with? Got it. >> As a as a focus for review. >> I'm

111thinking maybe the 4,000's personnel since we've been discussing that a lot together. I was just looking around making sure everybody has time to to speak. Um so I >> I have an idea. Um I'd like to um start with 9,000 with the board bylaws. Are we able to take that feedback now? Well, >> we're gathering your suggestions and then we're taking it back to the committee. >> Got it. Okay. >> But it's agenda, so yes, we can have this conversation. >> I agree with Donald. >> Yeah, I'm going to go with 9,000s as well. I agree with Trusty Dire. >> I as well. I think personnel is a great place for us to start um as well. So I think we have some two pretty good uh options right now. So just on the process

112we are giving suggestions for the policy committee to make recommendations. Correct. because I think we might actually need a special meeting because we all can't send in information. Okay. So, just to clarify um as uh Vice President Priest explained like the the the purpose of the committee is so that we can do the deep detailed review work but we came back to the board to say where do you want us to start with that detailed review work? So, we've got like the two the two suggestions so far, the 400 series or the the 9000 series. So, now we'll take your feedback as far as like the suggestions of where you'd like us to start and then we'll go back to the committee and and decide which which way and and as far as recommendations, we're

113we're going to use uh gamut as superintendent was explaining to see some of the some of the dates the last time they were approved are pretty old. So, we're going to look and see make sure the language is current, but then also look to see um are we able to strengthen any of the language u based on what uh federal or state guidelines allow us to do. Um the those kinds of questions and we'll we'll discuss that at at the committee meeting. And then th those policies would then be brought back for a first and second read as we've done in the past. Got it. Okay. Okay, great. All right. Um, so thank you very much. If there's no further questions on that, we will go ahead and move on to item 10.2, brief reports

114on trustee activities. Christina will read the oral announcement. That will be the timekeeper. Three limit, three minute limit per report. This is the opportunity for each trustee to make a brief announcement or to give a brief report on their own recent activities at the district pursuant to the Brown Act Government Code section 54954.283. There will be a 3 minute limit per report. >> Okay, great. I'd like to go ahead and start on my left. We'll start with Trusty Silva. Yes, I had the opportunity to meet a uh very influential and inspirational woman who does uh a lot for the youth in Stockton. Her name was Gwendelyn Daly. Founded her own organization called the Dome of Hope, which is doing great things for the African-American youth in Stockton. Um, I was also pleased to see Trusty

115Donald Daire there also and Trusty Martin. Um, let's see what else did I do? Oh, I was out at Striley Park this weekend to oversee some of the uh um signups for the Stockton Yellow Jackets or East Side Yellow Jackets I should say. Um, good luck to them also. Um, oh, I'm also very pleased to announce that we were able to raise the $71,000 that we needed to keep the old Boys and Girls Club Stockton Kids Club in effect. Um, we won't be renewing the one in one and a half years. We're going to not renew the uh the people that are renew, you know, using it at the moment. So, we are going to renovate it and return it to a community club for the kids in the surrounding area. That will be it.

116Yes, that's all. >> Okay. Thank you, Trusty Daire. >> I'll give up my time tonight. Um, happy Black History Month, everyone. >> Okay, Trusty Perez. Good evening all. Uh over the past several weeks, I have um remained actively engaged in advancing the work of our district and strengthening connections across our schools. Uh Trusty Priest and I recently completed Brown Bronac training. It was valuable refresher and provided important education educational insight to ensure we continue upholding transparency, accountability, and proper governance in our roles. Um I'm nearing completion of my friendly school site visits. Uh to date I have visited all but one school within area 1 and uh one kitchen site visit. So two two more and I'll be done. Uh these site visits have provided valuable insight into operational standards, campus culture, facilities, and areas

117where additional support and or improvements may be needed. I look forward to receiving more friendly invitations to visit campuses, to attend campus events, and most of all, continuing to build meaningful relationships with our students, educators, and staff. Thank you. >> Okay, great. Thank you, Vice President Priest. >> Let me talk. I'm gonna talk fast here. Here we go. All right. Good evening, everyone. Uh, area 4 continues to shine, and I am definitely proud to be uh representing uh my community today. You tried to take my time away a bit. >> All right. In two weeks, uh so the 9th through the 13th, I will be visiting all Area 4 school sites. I always look forward to spending time in our uh on our campuses and witnessing firsthand the greatness that's happening across our schools. Uh

118right now across area four schools we are actively motivating and encouraging our students during the ELPAC testing window. So definitely join me in rooting on our students and wishing them success as they look forward and work hard towards reclassification. Uh as we know this is a major milestone and we are proud of their perseverance and growth. Victory Elementary is continuing to celebrate Black History Month with their underground staff spirit week and they are preparing for the Rotary readin this Thursday and I'm I will be uh joining them. So, I look forward to supporting literacy and community partnership. Uh, Commodore is hosting their Black History Assembly this Friday at 8:30 a.m. and I hope many of you can attend and celebrate this powerful work that's happening. Uh, tomorrow there will be a drive up grocery distribution

119at the family resource center from 11 to 1 supporting families and uh providing them with essential resources. Hoover recently uh hosted a grand opening of their student store. Um, congratulations to their team and to their students. I know they're very excited. Uh, they are also encouraging their staff to join the staff volleyball team to play against the students this Friday. So, I can't wait to see who wins and hopefully somebody can take pictures for me. Uh, the school for adults will be um hosting a career development workshop this week continuing continuing their important work of expanding opportunity and pathways for the community. Um, I would like to give a special thank you to the BSUs and our ELOP ELOp teams for their meaningful teaching engagement and celebrations they've led during Black History Month. Uh, you

120are helping shape our students see themselves reflected in excellence, history, and leadership. I would also like to thank BEA for allowing me to join them in their celebration, and SUSD appreciates all of your hard work you all do for our students and all of the work you do that is not always acknowledged. Um, and I want to end with as trustees, we want our community to know that we are here for you. Your voice matters and we are committed to shared governance, transparency, and ensuring that no one should ever feel silenced for speaking up on behalf of students, families, or staff. Thank you so much. >> Okay, great. Thank you. Um, so I'll go ahead and just take a a quick minute here. Um, in the last couple of weeks, there have been a few

121fun activities, but I want to uplift um the ELO peak concert. Uh, that was uh last week. I was able to take a friend and uh we just really enjoyed ourselves. Um, she hadn't seen um a concert in a while with students and so she was really impressed um with our with our young students from elementary to our high school. Um it was really just a wonderful um wonderful concert and it was fun to see or hear actually the parent uh or family cheering section. Like we had some really um wonderful uh performances and then to hear like their cheering squad. It was it was awesome. So it was a a really fun night. Um some upcoming activities I'm looking forward to is uh tomorrow is education day uh with Stockton Kings. Uh we have

122as as you heard Rotary readin is on on Thursday. I will be at um sorry I will be at Ginsky um third grade and then also that same day we have our student discussion on immigration which you'll hear from superintendent in a quick moment. Friday is the NAACP youth summit at Delta College. Um so we've there's a lot of good things coming up this week. I do want to um just highlight also the various crab feeds that have been um gone on and and there's a couple of more coming that we will be attending. Um these activities are a wonderful opportunity to support students. A lot of them uh they're fundraising is what you know the the the main goal is um whether it's for scholarships or student activities but a lot of our students

123benefit from those fundraisers and then it's just a lot of fun um to be in community to see everyone to just share the good news about Stockton Unified. So I'm looking forward to that. That's my time. I will turn it over to Clerk Martin. All right. Uh, my activities were as followed. I read to Miss Warren's class at Taft Elementary in honor of Black History Month. Uh, I met with IYT and AMPAC about their math, English, and learning corpse along with their mentorship program over at Vanerian. And I had the pleasure of meeting with Apple along with our parent groups and staff on collaboration to enhance and advance our sped department and staying solution focused. Um, and I spoke to some young men at Franklin High School at last Saturday's King King in the making

124conference at Franklin High School. And I visited Jane Frederick's art and garden department led by Mr. Wash. And they are doing great things at Jane Frederick. And I had a chance to speak to Night andale students and send them off to their field trip for Black History Month. And I was yesterday. >> Thank you very much, Trustee Stevens. >> I'm actually going to yield my time tonight. >> Okay. Well, thank you. It sounds like we're all um out and about doing seeing the good work that's happening with our students. I will go ahead and move on to item 10.3 2026 California School Boards Association CSBA delegate assembly election ballot Um, on this one, I want to encourage our um our trustees to take a look at uh the information on this item um to fill

125out the ballot or well, before you fill out the ballot, there's attachments here for the nominees um who will be um representing uh as delegates. there is an electronic um form for you to actually place your your vote. >> Um no, if I can correct. So what it is is the board will look at the seven possibilities. Um so there is a write in possibility. So there's six people um once the board makes that vote um there they have to do an official action by the governing board. Then um we fill out the ballot. So I sign it. Yeah. And so um there are um you will see the representatives. Um so just to comp so that it's clear. So Trustee Stevens is our delegate for our board. Um and so this doesn't change that.

126What there is is there's a vacant seat um that we have the ability to vote on and we have to postmark it before Monday, March 16th. And so just to make sure that we are doing it in ample time um we are doing it at this board meeting so that I can then make sure that the board vote um is counts um towards this. So there are the nominations from Jefferson, Loi, Mantika, Escalon, um, Lamersville, and Lynden all have a person that has been nominated, and you all have the opportunity to, um, vote, and that there are up to three seats, but you can vote for no more than three candidates, but you can choose three candidates within this list. I'm sorry. So, I'd like to add um Lambertville, David Pombo to the list. David,

127>> Lamersville Unified School District. And I would like to add Victoria Linderman for Loi. We can give ourselves maybe a quick minute if we want to do three. The third one I should say we have two. So David Pombo from Lamersville, Victoria Lenderman from Loi, >> and then we've got room for one more. So we'll just hold on or give it a quick minute. Yeah, you can do up to three. So if you wanted to do two, you could do two. If not, we can roll with these two. >> Um, I would like to uh add Denise Matthews uh from Mantika Unified. All right. So, I make a motion to uh for us to cast our ballots for Denise Matthews out of Mantika Unifi, David Pombo out of Lamersville, and uh Victoria uh Leerman from

128Lodi Unified School District as our official vote. I'll second. Any discussion? Okay, hearing none. Roll call vote.

Item 11.1, Superintendent Report by Dr. Michelle Rodriguez, superintendent of schools. Student discussion on immigration and veteran PAL. Yes, thank you so much. So, Stockton Unified has long valued student voice. So, we were the first school district in Sanwaqin County to do the seal of civic engagement. As you have heard, we are tripling the amount of students who are receiving their seal of civic engagement this

130year. So, we have had some we have had students that have been expressing their voice, advocating for members of the community. Um and so what we wanted to do is have an opportunity for students to come to have a student discussion alongside um board, our chief of police um but also other local elected officials. And so um we will be having um Senator Mcernney that will be there. We'll also be having representatives from Assemblywoman Ransom. We'll have the city council there. Um the Sanwaqin County Board of Supervisors will be there as um as well as I mentioned our police department with our chief and so we encourage all of the students to come out. Um so that this is for them. Um so it will be as it stated it's from at 3:45 to 5:00.

131Um we will be having it at Edison High School. I have been having it will be in the library media center. I have been having parents ask me if they can attend and um parents can attend with their students. However, we are going to focus on student voice and so um that will be a priority but um you'll be able to if you're a parent and you want to hear um you will be able to be there in order to be able to listen in um and hear what local electeds are saying and most importantly what our children and students are saying. will also be providing translation so um everyone can deeply understand what is happening. Um and then lastly um we have a great um Native American center. We're very fortunate in that we

132are one of the few school districts in the state of California that has their own Native American center. Um we do have that. Um, Destiny Rivas is always doing an amazing job to try to make sure that we're connecting not only with our Native American students, but the Native American um, community throughout Sanwaqin County. And so, something that we are able to do that's unique to us is we're able to have these POW. So, this is a video that we're going to see soon of the veteran pow-wow. Um, but something that's super special is that when you go to these events and you'll see um you see not only our students dancing and participating um but you also see their families and um the community there supporting. And so here is a video that we

133have on our veteran pow which happened um just a few weeks ago. So >> today we're having a veterans powout. And at a veterans powout, it's all about honoring our veterans and making sure that that they everybody knows their sacrifice and we get to celebrate them and just have a beautiful time. Stockton Unifi is really fortunate because we're one of the very few school districts that has their own Native American center and so we are really the nucleus for a lot of activity around Native Americans here and so Stockton is such a diverse community and so we want to celebrate that diverse community. I like dancing fancy and all the um different kinds of stuff. >> How do you feel when you dance? >> Good. You dance with your um you you're like a butterfly,

134but you have to keep your hands up. I'm so happy to be here um to witness culture and the dancing, but also to honor our veterans. I'm here today because of service, honor, and community. Uh today, it's about not just honoring the land that we stand on, but it's about also honoring the community that represents the land. >> Keeping the culture going. Keeping the culture going. I'm Cherokee. There's a great sense of culture and community. Um, whenever I come here, you know, uh, I always feel welcome and I feel like I'm a part of I'm finding a part of me that, uh, I don't really rather I haven't really been able to, um, be involved with as much as I'd like to.
