Item 7.1, Board of Education update discussion on student metric review, dashboard, and local indicators. I would
022like to now call up Dr. Jason Murphy to the podium. Thank you, Miss Evette, for the assist by turning that on for me. Um, good evening. Uh, first want to acknowledge Dr. Rodriguez, Superintendent, uh, President Stevens, uh, Vice President Colon in her absence, members of the board, um, cabinet, and the Stockton community. Thank you for the opportunity to present a brief update on the local indicators. In the course of this presentation, I'm going to uh just briefly review the local uh indicator priority reporting requirement and provide an update on the 2025 status of our local of our five local indicators which includes basic services, state standards, parent and family engagement, school climate, and access to a board course of study. Um turning to the local uh priority reporting requirement. The local priority reporting requirement is
023part of the LCFF. Um, as you know, you're going to be reviewing and adopting the uh 2025 LCAP. And a part of that requirement from the LCSF is that on an annual basis, the LEA is to review its progress on certain local metrics and to report on those metrics to its governing board and finally report the outcome of those um metrics to the California schools dashboard. So this is part two of that requirement. And just for context, the local metrics are similar to the inputs of what the school system does to support the work we do in making sure that all of our kids are successful. So turning your attention to uh priority one, which is basic services. Basic services includes three essential components which looks at uh our teachers and the degree that they're
024appropriately credential credential and assigned. It also looks at access to uh standards aligned materials and it looks at facilities. Currently um our percentage of teachers are are assigned and appropriately assigned excuse me are is at 85%. And that reflects obviously um the not only the ongoing challenges in our um county but it's a sort of state and nationwide issue looking for qualified teachers. Um and just want to reflect the continued work of our human resources department in particular our recruiting and retention efforts by um our HR department Dr. Jackson and also our retention work and uh preparation work by Dr. Rockstead in curriculum, excuse me, educational services. Um, proud to report that our standards align materials um from our Williams report um are at 100% 100% of our materials are adopted and these kids have
025access to materials. Um in terms of our facilities, um this is based on a report that has to be done. This is actually last year's report called the facilities inspection tool and it looks at the percentage of schools that have a good or exemplary rating. At this time 6% of the schools achieve that rating but as uh I was presented earlier in this year the facilities master plan was adopted and there's a plan in place to continue to implement improvements to the schools that's actually actively in place. Turning your attention to um priority number two which is implementation of the state standards. Um I'm happy to report that in all of the areas of implementation of state standards which includes professional development access to instructional materials which I mentioned earlier policy and program support and
026implementation of state standards engagement of school leadership. I'm proud to report that the district ranks in full implementation in all areas. I want to also highlight the fact that in particular with the adoption of the SIPS curriculum that the district has moved from full full implementation to full and sustaining in particular for English language arts and English language development as well as nextgen standards. So that's an improvement from our prior ranking and that's based on the implementation of our sips curriculum. [Music] So now I'd like to turn your attention to parent and family engagement. And we work closely with our family um resource center to enga to reflect and uh determine our status. I'm happy to report that in most of our areas we are at um full or sustaining um in our one area
027which is to developing two-way communication. We noted that we're still at initial and beginning phases. However, at the same time, I want to point your attention to the many implementation steps that have been implemented under our current administration, including um town halls, access to um our LCAT meetings, surveys, student panels, student think groups, um and additionally um our infrastructure with the um let's talk app and the upcoming parent square app. So I'm happy to report that I'm confident this will move into a full implementation in a very short time horizon. So turning your attention now to priority six which is school climate. Um very happy to report while the school climate indicator requires us to look at school climate, the district has taken steps through its acquisition of the panorama program to go beyond just
028looking at school climate and it actually looks at a variety of indicators including growth mindset, experiences of the student, um challenging experiences. I'm highlighting three in particular areas that are very aligned to school climate which includes school climate itself, sense of belonging and relationships. I want to note for you that if you look from our prior um um measuring of this indicator that in all of our areas with the exception of grades 6 through 12, we saw a notable and market improvement in school climate. Um for example, grades 3 through 5 observed an increase of 5%. uh grades 6 through 12 observed a small drop on 1%. Teachers in particular saw a significant increase in their perception of school and climate by 12 percentage points and notably families saw a a large increase in their
029perception of um school climate by 5%. And I just want to also note that we continue to review and monitor additional areas beyond just school climate. The last reporting area is access to broad course of study. This measures the degree that our students have access to a broad and robust uh curriculum and instructional program. I'm happy to report that almost all of our students have access to a broad course of study. Uh between 66 and 99% have access at any given time and that continues to go up. exceptions to that are always um in supporting kids who might have um limitations due to electives um options and um being students that are English learners or have support classes that impact their ability to take um electives, but our schools are looking at many um tools
030and mechanisms for expanding access to those options. Um, I also want to report that the district is actively looking at a variety of systems to increase our ability to help students have access to a broad course of study, including the MESA program, success plans, transcript evaluation service, and regular course audits as well. Um, with that I'll stop there and the district continues to take uh steps to implement the local indicators as a initial step in supporting our overall outcomes which are the state indicators. So, thank you for your attention and I can entertain any questions you have. Questions for Dr. Murphy? So I I do. So for priority 7 where it discusses barriers to students accessing uh a broad course of study, what does that look like? And then how do we support um the
031removal of barriers so that all students have access? Sure. So um the district team uh collaboration between our ed services and our stu and um student support services are looking at options for supporting students and having access to a broad course. Some course of study some of those include innovative programs such as I know uh Mr. Paley and the CTE department worked very closely with the language development department to develop a pilot program this year to support English learners in having access to STEM curriculum which is normally something that they have a hard time accessing due to having an additional class. So there's certain pilot programs like um like the STEM elective that is being implemented um at the CT with the CTE program. There's workplace learning opportunities and there's um other items as well.
032Oh, go ahead, Trusty Bree. Thank you, Dr. Murphy. Uh, Dr. Murphy, maybe you or Dr. Rodriguez could uh let me know. Is there is it possible for us with our school climate survey to see data or break up the data next time versus elementary, middle school, and high school so we can see that um how those students feel. Yes, ma'am. So the data uh is broken up in its reporting for grades 3 through 5 and 6 to 12, but we have worked with the Panorama program and we have access to the individual student level data by grade level. So we actually do have um reporting at the grade level and at the subgroup level and I can work with Mr. Clappen back to provide any additional information on that. And just add on, Casey maybe
033was thinking about it, but we now have a new mechanism called Mesa on Time, which allows us to actually see when students are limited in their access to courses. So before it was very, you know, challenging in order to be able to see when children were in like double booked in a course that they shouldn't have been when they're having limited access. And so the Mesa on time is going to be has been this year and will continue as our counselors are looking at what are the barriers. And then lastly just I have to say our equity audit that's the whole basis of our entire equity audit right to identify what are those barriers and then figure out that three-year plan around how do we dismantle those barriers so that all of our students have
034access. Okay. So, so just keeping with that thought, so does this also allow for um universal support for students to have both AP and honor courses outside of the optin model that we seem to be using currently or how do we build that in uh with the Mesa system or Yeah. Yeah. So I think so the early warning system combined with the Mesa on time, the early warning system obviously is the opposite. It's the students that are having challenges, but when we look at um AP um AP capabilities, that's where we're moving next, right? It's so how do we look at students who actually have the capability to be in AP but aren't currently in AP and then how do we accelerate that? Um, something that we I've learned in multiple districts though is how
035do we provide wraparound services so that we're not just getting students inside the AP courses, but they're actually successful once they get in the AP courses because as we know as human beings, it only take one or two failures for us to then decide that this isn't for me. So, we want once we're opening up and looking at AP potential, we want to have make sure and have those wraparound services for them so that they're successful once we actually put them in AP classes because the worst thing that can happen is we put a sophomore, for example, in an AP course and we reconfirm to them their belief that they're not capable of doing AP courses. So we want to make sure that um once they get in those courses that there's supports for them
036both academic and social emotional supports. Uh just a quick addition there's a plug for the CTE department. We did track and we have monitored ADP data over several years and our CTE department along with our uh secondary team has done a brilliant job of creating a diverse set of options for students to take and so what we're seeing is as students may be leveling off. We haven't seen a drop in AP enrollment. we've seen perhaps a leveling off and that is because kids are also enrolling simultaneously in dual enrollment opportunities and at certain schools like Franklin they're rolling in IB opportunities so it's not that students are not take taking um challenging coursework they're diversifying the coursework that they're taking and we've I've worked with Mr. are clapping back and our ed services team to
037develop a metric to track that CO modern student indicator. So we're following that closely as well. Yeah, thank you both. Any other questions for Dr. Murphy? And if I can just add one more. Oh, go ahead, Mr. Quickly. I just want to also making sure that we're also sharing what is out there with our students and so they know what opportunities are out there. Um, and then also using Mesa on time and then looking at students that are not enrolled in certain courses currently and making sure that um we are working towards including them and making sure that they know about their options as well. I might be pushing the conversation just a tad bit. So, how are we marketing these opportunities for kiddos and do we see kind of that alignment in LCAP? So,
038I think I'm going to use it for for an example. So, we're working on this for next year, but for example, uh making sure that we're going out to student clubs and groups. So, um, for the BSUs, for example, making sure that we're sharing those opportunities to making sure that they know what CTE programs are out there. Um, if we're noticing that we don't have the representation in those courses. Casey, do you want to speak to the postcards that we're going to be sending out that speaks to the impact of AP courses to GPA? Yes, that would be a great idea. So, right now, currently, Mr. Pford has been developing um postcards to actually send out to our students to and families that actually speak to how um the power of taking AP classes and
039what it does for your GPA and what it does for your education. I won't Yeah. So, I just want to make sure that we we're aligning and marketing that information, right? Because I think um students sometimes they don't know. And it's really easy for students to get in nth grade and decide that I'm just going to take the courses um because my friend is in this class opposed to creating um this class schedule that is extremely rigorous and that is going to move them from high school into the college of their choice. sometimes that doesn't happen when kids are thinking about um their social environment opposed to how do I move the the needle um a tad bit. But also including parents in that piece would be helpful too. And so one more thing to
040add. So what we're doing this year too at all of our um high schools, they are actually bringing in their ninth graders, their incoming ninth graders early so they can actually see what the campus has to offer. So, we're giving them that warm welcome and getting them used to the environment and what um what their their new school has for them. Thank you so much. Any other questions for Dr. Murphy or Mr. Clappenback? All right, seeing none. Thank you so much, Dr. Murphy. Thank you. All right, want to welcome back our vice president. Um, then we want to move on to item 8.1, presentation of public hearing for proposed energy services contract with Clomatic LLC. I would now like to open up the public hearing and call up Vicky Braum for a staff report. Thank
041you. Good evening, uh, Trusty Stevens, Dr. Rodriguez, uh, excuse me, Superintendent Rodriguez, and board members. So tonight I'd like to introduce um Climate Techch who we've been working with uh for some time now for uh the excuse me to uh close out the collaboration for aging infrastructure with the district for our HVAC plumbing and lighting projects. So we've been working with it climate uh Tyler Gitman and Burn Carter, how could I forget that? Sorry. Vern Carter, uh, who will come up here and do the presentation that they have, um, provided to the district. Is it okay if I approach with a handout? Do you want to give it to give it to All right. Thank you. Good evening, President Stevens, Superintendent Rodriguez, trustees, staff, and community. Thank you very much for your time tonight. Uh,
042my name is Tyler Gurman. I'm the regional manager of Climate. Been with Climate Tech for uh nearly 20 years, so a few months. I'll be with him for 20 years. Um, and Burn Carter is my colleague as well. There's going to be a handout that's going to be passed along and I'll share a little bit more about it when we get to it in the presentation. But we're very excited to present tonight because it's been a big collaborative effort with with administration, with staff Vicky Brum and her team regarding a program that not only is going to save money on your general fund, but also improve the infrastructure and health and safety of every single school. When we first sat down with staff and administration, four challenges arose very quickly. Utility escalations is one of
043them. The district spends $10 million a year on utilities and just for the specific rates um PG& for Stockton Unified, it's been going up 8 to 11% yearover-year for the last 10 years. I know you're feeling it at home, but the school district is also feeling it from their budget perspective. construction market volatility. Um, if you're doing a project at home and obviously you're starting your bond projects as well, you're seeing that prices are going up and up and up and the effect of those uh price increases on any given project is hurting the district. Uh, California code and state mandates, there's a plethora of them. One of them that I wanted to mention was AB2208, which states that as of January 1st of this year, districts and public entities cannot purchase any linear fluorescents
044anymore. And the district has 41,000 fixtures that are fluorescent. The last and almost and the most important is school health and safety concerns. Really improving the comfort to uh improve student uh outcomes, education, and academics as well. So, just to take a step back where we've come from because it's been almost a year, uh the district did an RFP process. multiple respondents uh participated. Uh Climate Techch was very fortunate to be selected. We were approved by the board uh nearly a year ago on July 23rd. Uh we've I'm not going to go through each little step here. Um but some of the key steps we we've just collaborated with staff along the way in terms of highest priorities um where the needs are the utility baseline um but also some other key steps that were
045were added to a typical process was working with the community workforce agreement and making sure that that's being used in this project and local and union labor are part of the program. And then lastly, uh third-party engineering review of all calculations as well as a cost analysis of the project um that was validated by a thirdparty engineer. So the district has done quite a few due diligence steps in the process to get to this point. So this is the handout that you see in front of you. It's very detailed. I'm not going to go through each little box. Um but the green signifies what is being presented tonight and for your consideration. And then the blue is potential future phases uh that the district can consider depending on funding and timing. And I'm going to
046summarize this on the next slide um as we continue along here. So as a summary uh high efficiency HVAC units at eight sites over 212 you 212 units will be replaced. Some units are 35 years old. Units have an average life of 15 years old. And in Stockton where it's hot, units lasting to 35 is a testament to the team and actually keeping them up and operational. And there's quite a few more out there, but these are really some deep need that you have at these eight sites. Um adding new AC to kitchens, the few remaining kitchens that need to add air conditioning or have a little bit right now uh for staff and obviously to cook for the meals for the kids. Building automation systems. These are systems that control heating and cooling and
047monitor indoor air quality. Uh these will be upgraded at seven sites as well as the addition of monitoring indoor air at 47 sites. The LED lighting, which I just touched upon as well, will be all modernized to LED technology. Um and then new solar PV structures at seven sites, mainly shade structures because obviously there's quite a bit of sun here and not only for the solar production, but to provide shade for kids as well. Dual purpose is key. Um, one of the shade structures is that the district office here. Um, that that would be in the parking lot and due to code, we would need to add EV charging and that's included in the project as well. Student engagement, we come alongside curriculum depending on what the school would like to do in their STEM
048program and provide curriculum on renewable energy, what it means for the environment, how it works, those types of elements. That's for every single site. the district has has already a lot of solar PV, but now it's about educating the kids on how that works and that's part of the process. And then Calshape, the district obtained a Calshape grant and this is about finishing that process and making sure you get the rest of your money as well. So all of these scope items are bundled in one comprehensive program and that's what's being um considered tonight. In terms of the financials, you'll see that the project is 42 million 42.6 6 million and this is this includes union labor equipment project management engineering working with department of state architects those submissions PG& working with PG& and on
049and on to make sure that the project is completed uh the projected savings over the program life cycle is 48.3 million and then the five-year savings so by using some of the funding sources that you're using the savings is going to go to your bottom line so that you can use it in the classroom and other ways more creatively. The funding and the funding sources um that have been uh talked with staff and finalized is the Calshape grant funds which have already been approved by the CEC and you've already received half of that upfront. PG& 0% on billill financing roughly in the $4 million. Uh we're going to maximize that on billill financing. Any utility incentives that are available, we always go after them. um general fund set aside is going to be the majority
050of the remaining portion and potentially some bonds, but t the general fund set aside. I do want to comment here, the last two pieces here, these are reimbursement icing on the cake type funding sources. Um so they're potential. The inflation reduction act is from the federal government. We just had a district last week in Santa Cruz County just collect a sevenf figureure check from the federal government for their renewable energy that they implemented. So they are writing checks. they are processing it and it is still moving forward. So it is a potential to be able to get some funds in the range of 2 to three and a half million. And then a lot of these projects are just deep infrastructure projects and they're allowed to be submitted into the state bond for reimbursement whether
051it's this bond or a future bond. But at least you can get money back for future projects as well and we'll work with your team to be able to do them. So, I talked about the financial benefits, but but there's also environmental benefits of these types of projects. Um, just in one year, this project powers 750 homes, uh, preserves 36,000 trees, and removes 500 cars off the road. That's on an annual basis. That is a big big impact to sustainability. along with this, you know, a lot of a lot of the upgrades that I'm talking about and what what's needed here at Stockton are really on top of the on top of the roof or lighting and not really seen by everybody in the community. So we typically come alongside um we we do websites,
052we do press releases, ribbon cutting ceremonies, give them facts, details, how's the savings being achieved, all those types of things to really show that the program is working and to really communicate what the district is doing to improve the comfort and health and safety within the classrooms. So the next steps and there's few because we've accomplished a lot in the last year. uh but tonight uh your consideration of the program and then we will work with the community workforce agreement and the unions to start uh the process and our hope is to begin this summer um in some of the crucial areas of the HVAC and with that I'll take any questions questions regarding uh presentation anything you all have heard This is a lot so I'm trying to put it all together. Um the
053mention of here on your scope of work when you say high efficiency HVAC units at eight sites is that on here? Yes. The green the green sites correct. Okay. Anything in green what it was was summarized in this chart. Okay. I just didn't want to I just didn't want to put those together. That's all I did. No worries. You're good. Also, will there be staff dashboards so that they could monitor things like the um the the CO2 the efficiency that we are kind of like a solar panel, right? I have solar in my house. But you can also see kind of what you're saving. Um when is a good time to run generators and lighting and things of that nature. Is there a dashboard that um Vicki and team will be able to see? Not
054currently in this project. Okay. A portion of what you just mentioned like the CO2 devices, district staff will have the opportunity to monitor that monitor that districtwide from a screen. So they will see that from a dashboard. But in terms of energy production, energy consume, PG& solar, etc. That's another level that could be a phase two. That could be an addition to it. We're doing that with other schools as well once they start getting the ball rolling. And it for the EV stations that we'll have too, what does it look like for charging? Will these be like the super fast um charging stations? Are the slower ones that are usually free? What is in the middle? Right in the middle, level two. Okay. And then will we charge can will we also charge staff to
055use them or will they be free of charge to our our our employees? Our board policy states that we will charge um the competitive charge. So we will we will be charging. They have to have a specific card and then they use that card almost like a debit card. So um it will be only open to staff. It is not open to community. And the same um EV stations we're using for these automobiles, we're also using for the buses as well, or will we be using two different or will they be universal? Um Katie, can you come up to speak to just the infrastructure of the charging of your buses? Sorry. Yeah. Um they are the same chargers um that we have. We have level two and level three chargers in the transportation yard. So,
056we do have some DC fast charges for our long routes that need that on the midday charge. I think what we're going to do here is level two chargers all the way across the board. So, it's that typical overnight charging or during the day longer period of time charging. Thank you. Any other questions? I have one more. Jesse, please. Um, have the site principles been included in these discussions and conversations so that this way they're aware of what's going on at their school sites? Yes, because this is a direct reflection of the facilities master plan. Okay. So, yeah. Trusty Col. Good evening. So I just want to make sure I understand if as um just example there's a you know one school here let's say for example that um they have their HVAC system um
057is uh in working order but maybe um certain rooms are not as hot as they should be or warm as they should be or cool as they should be. Is that where the building automation system would improve that? The building automation system is like the thermostats on the wall. Um that really help get the comfort to the right point when you have 30 kids coming in and you know the temperature goes up to 82, it kicks on the air conditioning, gets it back down to 76 or whatever the temperature is. And then it also helps control like exterior lighting, things along those lines. That's the building automation system. It controls the heating, cooling, lighting systems of your facilities. Okay. Thank you. All right. Any other questions? All right. Hearing none. Thank you so much. Thank
058you. Vicki, Miss Braum, were you coming back up or no? Okay, perfect. Yeah. Thank you, Tyler. Um, no. I was just uh we will uh clo close the public session. whatever um next steps for us to move forward. So, you want to vote now, right? Yeah. And then later in the um in the um board meeting, there's a resolution as well. Yes. That's a question. Has the bond oversight committee seen this reporter had a presentation? No, not yet. We just finished this literally last minute. But they will they will have a opportunity, but we're not using bond funds in the beginning. So we don't know if we're going to even need to use bond funds for this. So we had we have committed funds that we have put towards this. So HVAC has been a
059need for the district for a while. And so this is we have 35 million of committed funds in general fund. So only if needed we will go we will use bond funding. Most will be general fund um which is already committed funds. Trusty Flores there is one project as a bond fund and that's the Franklin A building. We'll be getting a HVAC and that will be using bond funds. Um so again that's just coming underway. We have a proposal for it and I believe it's on the board tonight. Okay. So they will get this as well because if we end up having to go there then if they're going to have to vote on it then they haven't seen this and they're going to kind of like be forced to decide whether they seen it
060or not. Okay. So remember though the the job of the bond oversight is to ensure that we have followed the law of the bond language not necessarily approve each transaction that occurs. So what they're doing is they're taking they're looking at the projects that the board has approved and they're saying according to bond language does this fall within bond language. They're the oversight of that. So they don't actually approve. They provide oversight if we followed the letter of the bond. Okay. We'll have another conversation later. Thank you. All right. Thank you so much, Vicki. I would now like to close the public hearing and then call for a motion for item 8.1. I'll make the motion to approve our um the proposed energy services contract with climate. Is there a second? A second. Any further
061discussion? All right, hearing none. Roll call vote. President Stevens, yes. Vice President Cologne, yes. Clerk Daire, yes. Trusty Flores, yes. Trusty Perez, yes. Trusty Priest, yes. Trusty Silva, yes. Motion passes unanimously. Item 9.1, approval of the second reading of board policy 5131, conduct and board policy number 5131.8, eight mobile communication devices. Is there a motion? I'll make the motion to approve. All right. Is there a second? I second. All right. Any discussion? All right. Hearing none. Roll call vote. President Stevens, yes. Vice President Colon, yes. Clerk Daire. Yes. Trusty Flores. I'm going to abstain because I haven't had a chance to fully review the policy right now. Okay. Trusty, I'm sorry. Trusty Perez. Yes. Trusty Priest. Yes. Trusty Silva. Yes. Motion passes 6 with one abstension from Trusty Flores. Item 10.1 board committee reports. Evette
062will read the oral announcement and um announce each board committee report and Abby will be the timekeeper of the three-minut limit. 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. All right. City of Stockton Parks and Recck Committee Trustees in Air. They they didn't meet. Sorry. The first committee would be the 3x3 committee. Oh, 3x3. Okay. Trusty Cologne. Hey, good evening. All right. So, we have our um our inter agency committee. Um so um when we last met um we're talking about uh focusing on a topic um that the uh that our agencies can work on together um with the shared interest. And so this meeting that we just had the other day um we came back to
063uh dig into some of the data um where we can then use that data to uh create some questions that we'll ask the public for their feedback. So, we're um wanting to see what does the public want us as a school district, as a city of Stockton, and also a board of supervisors now that they've uh joined our meeting. What would the public like to see us focus on in the next year um and forward? Um, so I was happy to I'm happy to say that um we had our trustees were there, our council members were there, uh, board of supervisors were there. Um, and we got to review um, some great data by Dr. Katherine Lewis. Um she walked us through the panorama survey data and then we were able to open the floor
064for discussion um which really led to some um great questions about um the perception of culture uh going to school attendance civic engagement activities um how's that how that influences or impacts one's perception of their value um and how between our agencies and entities ities, how are we or not sharing resources, collaborating or leveraging what we have within this city to benefit our students. So, it was a great conversation. Um, we'll take that information um and formulate um a survey that we'll uh send out to the public to then ask based on these areas, what would you like to see us focus on going forward? Um, of course, we're always going to give each other updates uh uh back and forth. So, may Mayor Fugghazi shared some updates regarding the city's summer programming, um, youth
065employment, summer success, um, and she's also, um, seeking our input for ways the city can support graduations for next year. Um, and, uh, she also uh, asked some questions about use of the Seaffort Center. So, we're going to be following up with YMCA and and you know, making sure um, you know, what is that com what what what do we need to do to work together? um what what are some of the questions? So, one thing that's great about this committee is um we can get things uh an questions answered on the spot. You know, what do we need to work on and and we're running uh full speed ahead. Um one interesting couple interesting topics she also shared um is that um wanting to know more about our CTE programming um because of some
066of the uh opportunities that are coming up through the city such as the ship building opportunity. I almost one last thing. One last thing she wanted to share is that the city um the Stockton Police Department's parenting with a purpose program that aims to focus on positive behaviors and collaborate with parents, guardians, and community leaders. And we look forward to learning more details from Chief McMadden. Thank you. The last committee is from equity diversity and also Vice President Kol. Here we go. um another really great committee meeting where um just a lot of information was shared. Um just a lot of good work happening all around um equity. So we um started off with a presentation from uh Dr. Rogers, our director of equity, diversity, and family engagement. Um he gave us um an update
067on the equity audit process. He explained um the process that the teams have taken to review and analyze quantitative data from our KPIs. Um and then when we return in August, we'll have a qualitative uh dive into the qualitative review of that. Um bringing that data to life with some real stories and then in January um where that's where everything will kind of come together to start to formulate that three-year SUSD equity action plan. And in the discussion, we thought that might be a great time to have um a public town hall where our students and families can see firsthand, learn more about what this means and understand why um why we were why we're going through this process um so detailed um and step by step strategically and how then it will all come
068together. Um and then we got a great presentation um an overview of the ethnic studies professional learning experiences by uh Mr. Dr. Aldrich Sabbach, our ethnic studies curriculum specialist. Um, our we learned that our ethnic studies site leads, curriculum leads, our teachers, um, they engaged in several days of PD that began with a tour of a place within Stockton that reflected an ethnic studies course um, to see firsthand how Stockton's history can be brought into the classroom. Um, and then they went over um, theoretical frameworks, lesson samples, and material. So, um, it sounds like they had a really great enriching, um, experience. And then we ended with Mr. Casey Kappenback, our assistant superintendent of educational services, walking us through the ready for rigor framework that our admins uh, were learning through the book culturally responsive
069teaching and the brain by Zarretta Hammond. And it is a really fascinating book. Um it talks about um you know not just um uh just going into the science of how the brain works and when you feel safe you're able to learn and how how can we um learn how to um make all of our students feel safer when they come into our classroom. So um the core purpose of the framework is to help educators cultivate independent learners particularly our culturally and linguistically diverse students. And that independent learner um is the goal, right? They can um not just read but read to um learn and then question question us and and critically think about what it is they're learning. So really um fascinating stuff. All right. Thank you, Vice President Cologne. All right, we will
070move to item 10.2, reports on trustee activities. Christina will read the oral announcement and Abby will be the timekeeper of three minutes. This is the opportunity for each trustee to make a brief announcement or give a brief report on their recent activities at the district pursuant to the Brown Act Government Code section 54952, I'm sorry, 54954.2 A3. There will be a threeinut time limit per report. Thank you. Trusty Perez, I have nothing to report. Thank you, Trusty Silva. Yeah. On last Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend the third annual Youth Impact Awards presented by the Patrick Martin Foundation. And it was very inspiring to learn about the achievements these young kids and the differences they make in their schools as well as their communities. Thank you, Trusty Silva. Trusty Priest. Um, I recently had
071the opportunity to meet with our inter agency committee uh where excitement is building around the many opportunities being planned for our students uh throughout this year. From summer work programs to leadership and civic engagement initiatives, we're focused on creating a meaningful experience that will help our students thrive. Of course, these efforts highlight the importance of strong collaboration between the city of Stockton um and SUSD. As we know, when we work together, our students will win. Um we would love to invite the community to join us, share your ideas, and let your voice be heard. As we continue to expand opportunities for students in uh area 4, we would like to thank Dr. Rodriguez and our ELOP team for keeping our youth engaged, supported, and excited for the upcoming school year. And for our community community,
072we would like to send a a brief reminder that the board of trustees is here to support you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with questions, concerns, and of course celebrations because we look forward to hearing from you and raising your voice. And as always, I'm grateful for the experience and the opportunity to support our schools. Thank you. Thank you, Trusty Priest. Trusty Cologne. So, good evening. Um, so I just want to say that um I unfortunately wasn't uh able to get around as much as I normally do or plan to um in these last two weeks. I did have um an injury and as soon as I started to feel better, I'm like I'm going to go do some stuff and then of course you know that you get get set back.
073So um uh I'm going to do my best to take care of myself the next few weeks. Um, but the the events I did attend um really um made me feel grounded in the work that I do as a school board trustee. Um, I was able to see a lot of folks in the community um stand up um and um reaffirm themselves that there that we're a city that cares about people um and that we do believe in the Constitution, that we want to hold that firmly and um that everyone should be cared for. And in every every space I went to, I just was reminded of how um you know, we really do need to step in and take care of each other. And um with that, I just want to remind folks that
074um SUSD is a safe haven. We are a welcoming school on all of our campuses, on all of our sites. And um for our families that need help, that are looking for help, that just maybe want to talk to someone, um we are here. Um, we're only a phone call away. If you want to go on our website, we do have um the immigrant legal resource center um on our page if you need more resources and help um for yourself or for your family. Um and just lastly is that um when our families thrive, our entire communities do grow stronger and I truly truly believe that. So, everyone stay safe, stay well um and enjoy the next few weeks of summer. Thank you, Trusty Cologne. So, I'll go next. So, I was just thinking when
075I saw Trustee um Silva do the pledge of allegiance, like what does it really mean to be American and what does that mean to really take the oath of office that we've all um taken up here as elected officials to make sure that our kiddos do have access to highquality education? I think we're approaching a new America that looks really different, right? Um but I think part of the work that we have to do as board of trustees is to dig into policies um in some bigger and better ways. I think the platforms that we initially took um or stated that we would do when we first took office um we need to do some more work just around building those out a lot bigger and better because of what we see coming down the
076pipeline from the current uh Trump administration. I think part of that work really does mean that we have to go back into our communities and talk about policies and how those policies really affect um education and to move it forward and to make sure that when our kids do come to school, right, they do have a place where they are seen, valued um and heard. So, I just want to press upon our um board members to just remember the oath that we've taken um to support education and what does that look like? I think there are going to be lots of dark days. There's going to be challenging conversations, but I think I've been elected with a group that really can um step up to the platform and to make sure that we're holding true
077um and having value to what it means to be um an elected official here in the city of Stockton and thinking that piece out and that maybe we can even be a catalyst for other um board members to make sure that we do have policy across the board um for our students to be um the best that they can be and to live out their hopes and dreams. So giving them access to opportunities, giving them access to what it means to um live here in Stockton, to live here, to work here, and to thrive here. So just make sure we're having those conversations in our communities and coming back to the policy committee with policies that do support education and holding true to our office. And with that being said, I'll move on to um
078Trusty Daire. Good evening everyone. Uh my heart goes out to all the communities, the families, our students who are really paying attention to the news right now. Um and really um thinking about how to care about their neighbors um moving forward. Um something that I want to uplift uh right now is that um there is a hotline uh it's called the Valley Watch uh rapid response network. Um this is a network that helps to verify and um give legal resources uh for those who are looking for it. Um uh this is a this valley watch network hotline serves counties from San King County all the way down to um Kern County. So it's the whole San King Central Valley. Um this is a way for communities and families to really um empower themselves with knowledge
079and resources. Um, I really appreciate the district for really uh bringing those resources um online and in um to the communities through uh the the the health fairs and the resource fairs. So, I really appreciate the district's work on that. Um, but this is again this phone number, the Valley Watch hotline is um to really um get folks to verify um if they've seen any um activities out here of uh federal agents. Um and this is mostly to uh for me to quell the fear that a lot of the community is facing right now that is feeling uh many folks are not coming to work across the nation. um you know people, young people, young students are being detained and so a lot of our young people and our families and our community is is
080really witnessing all these things and wanting to do something to protect and care for our neighbors. So I really want to share again this is called the Valley Watch Network Hotline. The phone number uh is 559206151. Um again this is 559206151. The Valley Watch Network hotline is to support and give legal resources and to verify any sightings. So, thank you so much. Thank you, Trusty Tire. Trusty Flores, um yes, I echo the same sentiments as my colleagues up here. I can't say it any better than what they've already um said. I just want to add that let's not forget our students and our parents when they come back to school. This has been somewhat of a traumatic summer for them when um they don't know, they don't feel safe. um they don't know what's coming,
081how to open the door, how to walk down the street. Um a lot of family of a lot of our students families work in the fields and they are not able to go to work. They don't feel safe there. Um so I'm glad that we are acknowledging that. I'm proud to be part of a district that does acknowledge it and a part of a safe haven school district. Um very proud of that. Um, aside from that, I um wasn't here last board meeting, so I didn't get to brag about my Jane Frederick's graduation, um, they they had an amazing graduation event. And I'm not sure if the board knew, but before that, our Jane Frederick student that spoke here, um, not only did he have most of us in tears, but what we didn't know,
082and I didn't know at the time, is that he Ubered here. um and he doesn't have family support at home. So he has no backup family support. And so I just want to reiterate and remind us that when I speak so passionately about Jane Frederick, it's he is the perfect example. He had to Uber here to show his dedication to show up um and the fact that he didn't have support. Um, so they got to go to their senior trip. Um, they got to go to Santa Cruz and had lots of fun. There was no trouble. They reported when they were supposed to report. Um, and I I found it a a little extra change in my pocket to make sure that they had lunch. So, that was out of my personal pocket to make
083sure that they had a decent lunch because Jane Frederick students don't always have money to go um and get that little extra slice of pizza. And let's be honest, our district's food lunch is not always what they want to eat. Um, I was also able to go to Night andale Elementary's graduation and it's just always amazing to see the little eighth graders all excited and and getting ready to go to high school. They don't know what's about to hit them. Um, and then happy birthday to my daughter. She turns 31 today. Um, my first born. Um, the mother of my love child, grandchild. Um, and so I just want to echo that and I am excited to be back and looking forward to the new school year. All right. Thank you, Trusty Flores. Item 10.3,

I just wanted to have a conversation with the board um around forming the committee and then what that looked like actually to be able to support. So um SB1413 does allow for us to create opportunities for our staff, which would be um teachers and school staff to have um housing. It is a
086way to recruit teachers since we are in a teacher shortage, but it also allows for the opportunity for us to be able to allow them to have affordable housing. Um, I would like to create the committee so that we can move forward in that direction, but would like to hear from the board just on their thoughts about um workforce housing and then what does it look like to provide this type of opportunity to our school staff and teachers. Yeah, I think it's great. I think it's something that we do need to address and it's a great opportunity to recruit more teachers. Um, and I would like to be on the committee, nominate myself. There's one nomination. Thank you, Trusty Flores. Um, I just want to add in that um I think again this is a
087great idea. um when we go to different conferences, there's all we're always hearing about other districts that have um they've completed their housing or they're in the process. So, um if we're um doing in this committee, if we wanted to look at, you know, best practices or do some research, there's plenty out there that we can start to look and and see what works and what doesn't and go from there. I think we also have some unions that are out there already and process that. We have partnerships with the unions already that would be able to assist us in those discussions as well. Yeah, we don't just want it to be a committee, a subcommittee with just board members, but we do want to bring in our unions and um some of the trades so
088we can really talk about what does it look like. I know Selenas has done it. Um Berkeley, there's some other school districts. So looking at their models um and then moving forward in the right direction. Uh Trusty Priest, I think you're going to chime in. Okay, sign her up. Okay, sounds good. I think we have a committee already. Okay. Any other questions, comments, concerns? No. Is Dr. Anderson out there? Oh, he's not out there, right? No. Okay. I would have called him up to the board. Um, okay. Sounds good. We will move past that and then at the next board U meeting, we will form the new workforce housing um subcommittee. Item 11.1 uh superintendent report. Dr. Michelle Rodriguez. Yeah, thank you so much. So we something that we know is when a child knows
089how to read and loves to read that it opens doors for them. And so we have um a superintendent challenge that's going on. I do want to recognize because they're really the ones that did the work behind it. So um Mary Rogers, the director of ELOP and Maryanne Papford, um who is our district librarian um they put this together. So, every single child in the district got a bag of books this time, but what and I got thank you cards from children. What was great this time is we made sure that they were books that children love. So, I kept having children say, "I love that book." Um, and then they go on a website which is called um now I'm going to forget all of a sudden bean stack. And I was saying bean
090stock at first and Maryanne had to say no it's bean stack you know like stack your books and I was like okay bean stack. So they go on bean stack and so what we did is we went and we surprised some children. So we took a little page out of my book from my past district and we went to homes and we went to classrooms to celebrate children. So we celebrated some of our highest um reading students but we also se celebrated some who are just getting started. um because we want students to know that there's a possibility and you're going to see a video soon, but just so you know, because if you're out there students, um if you read just one book and add it to Beanstack, um you're going to get a
091sweet treat um when you return back to school. So, um get that sweet treat, read at least one book. We want you to read a lot more than one book, but um read at least one book and um keep your imagination flowing. And here's our little video. [Music] SUSD summer reading program prize patrol recognizing students who are diving into reading this summer. It's part of the superintendent's reading challenge. So I am looking for Edoardo. Where's Edoardo? Eduardo. And has read 2013 minutes. What we know is children that read do better in school. It also opens up all this imagination for them. They can go places. They can learn things that they wouldn't be able to do if they don't read. Students were randomly selected to win, many being awarded. I like reading a lot because
092like I get to read stuff and win stuff. There's so many conversations and actions and stuff. Prizes include Kendalls, Legos, art kits, speakers, and a great experience. Most I just like sit down and read, just like really get into it. It provides an opportunity for kids to dip into joy of reading. They're working very hard at learning how to read, but we also want them to enjoy it. Some readers are sharing advice. Read so that you can learn and get smarter.

Item 12.15, approval of the Arts and Music in Schools Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act, Proposition 28, implementation school plan for the 2526 school year. Is there a motion? I motion to approve. Is there a second? I second. Any discussion? Oh, did you want to come up? Um, sure. Thank you very much. Uh, yes. I did want to take a little bit and
103explain a little bit about Prop 28 since we have some new um members of the board and share some exciting news. So, prompt 28, it's called the Arts and Music and Schools Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act. This guarantees that there will be funding for the arts. And hopefully, I apologize that the link didn't work, but hopefully everybody in their portfolio has the long document. Okay? It's very similar to the one that we saw earlier, too. I have some extra for you guys if you'd like some. Are you okay? Okay. All right. Okay. Thank you. So, as I said, um it's we're calling it now the AMS or Prop 28 uh act. So, the purpose of it is to create an arts equity across the state. This goes back to November of 2022. Um sadly enough,
104a lot of school districts do not even offer the any kind of arts classes to provide the F requirement which to go to college. We've been fortunate in that stock SUSD has had some kind of music or something going since it first started. So, as I said, this was passed by the voters of California and it says that the governor has to look at the education budget, calculate 1%, find it in the general budget, put it back into the education budget, and it's strictly for the arts. So this is a part of the California constitution. Every school gets money uh funding for the arts. It's based on the ADA of the school plus a little bit of state um student economically disadvantaged stipen they call it. 80% of it has to be used for buying
105or or hiring arts teachers. And we'll talk about what arts means in a few minutes. And then 20% is for partnerships uh such as um like with the Sanwaqin County off office of education that uh brings out dosins to teach about visual art. It can be used for field trips or it can be used for materials. Um as I said the funding comes from the general budget. We've had guiding principles all the way through since we started planning for it in 2023 after it was voted on. and our guiding uh it works out really neat because as you'll see a little bit it worked out for one of um Dr. Rodriguez's high priorities in equity across the arts. Uh so our guiding principles have been of course equity across the arts in the district uh
106with the focus really on music because music really enhances the brain to learn when you're learning more about music. So we're not being selfish about that. We don't like the other disciplines but music is scientifically shows that it can really help your brain grow. Arts as we said includes it used to be called vapa but the new term of media arts the new discipline has made us now called the arts. So it means music, it can be instrumental, it can be singing, it can be general music, those kind of things, mariachi, um any other kind of of music, electronic, you know, that kind of thing. Dance, theater, visual and media arts. And I can say that we have all five of these disciplines taking place in our elementary schools. Now, we make sure that it
107aligns vertically to the high school. So, that there's like a study pathway all the way through. So, if you study instrumental um orchestra, uh then you will go to a high school that offers orchestra. If you study mariachi, then you'll be able to study mariachi all the way through and that kind of thing. Uh we've also make sure that it's culturally inclusive. Uh we added ballet folklorico last year. This year we're going to be adding a break dance teacher and so we're expanding our you know diversity and the goal as and our value of um the talents and interest of the students and then we make sure that it provides uh arts experiences which which leads to integration u maybe such as steam kind of things and stuff like that and the more importantly that
108it is a a discipline study that is sustainable. Okay. So the long piece of paper that you got there, what that shows is this the funding is good for three years. So the funding that you see there is telling the principles how much money they have to spend by certain times and that helps them know how to plan. The first yellow column that you see there with all the checks, those were the classes for this past year, 2425. And I will be back a little bit later to give you a full report of how many students were served in all of that. And that's part of the AMS accountability. We have to come and give all those numbers and file them. But you can see um what was added. And I will tell you, I'll
109give you a little hint. Before Prop 28 came in, we only had 18 schools, elementary schools, that offered any kind of arts to students. Last year we had 40. Now look for 2526 and you can find your various schools on your big sheet. I'm excited to say that we will have 11 schools this year that will be able to service TK through 8th grade. So that means every kid in that school sometime during the school year will have some kind of study with an arts teacher, music, dance, theater or visual art rather than just in their classroom and on their own. That is a big thing in two or three years. It is moving and making things equitable. And I can see you're looking for your schools. So I'll wait just a few minutes. That's
110okay. Go go go go go ahead and ask. I I I felt it might be the best time. Go ahead. Um how is the amounts calculated per school site? Uh that is done by the ADA of the school. Okay. And uh then there is a a student economically uh stipen that adds. So, and then two, remember what I said. It's based on the 1% of the general budget that the governor has to calculate. This is how much I put in. Then he looks at how many students we have and this is how much money he has to spend and then he figures it out by school. So, it's a lot of math for him and also a lot of math for him because this is one of the things he'd like to see to use
111the general budget in other ways. But, we're glad you voted for it, people. Thank you. I saw another eye that looked like it had a question. So, we actually have the same question about Yeah. Assuming that it was ADA, but also how are we attracting um these music and dance teachers? So, what are we doing to get them? Well, I'm excited to say that well not so excited for HR, but I will say a lot of them are our own people. Okay. In fact, for years we have had classroom teachers out there who have those visual art degrees or dance degrees. In fact, last year we got a math teacher from Lincoln. She was a real dance teacher. So, she's teaching now what she wants. But we have we've had three classroom teachers who have
112a degree. They have a single subject credential for the arts, but they were teaching general classroom because they couldn't get a job. Now they can come and and teach the arts. In fact, this year our theater teacher, she has been in the district for almost 20some years. Her initial degree was theater and she's finally excited to be able to teach theater. She's used the skills through the years, but now she can focus and do that. The one thing we are having a hard time doing which is a big demand across the state are music teachers because that as we said that's good for the brain and it requires a little bit more study but we've been growing our own. So just um this past Monday I was able to hire another graduate from Chavez High
113School who has gone and got his music um degree and now is joining the ranks. And he this is what he said. He said, "I wanted to come back to Stockton to give what they gave to me." Nice. So, we're growing and recruiting our own, but we also are trying to get outside. Thank you. Uhhuh. Any other questions for Mrs. Wildman? All right. Here on Oops, wrong way. Sorry. So, as we said, we're hiring uh two more visual art teachers, two more dance teachers, and one theater teacher. This will make uh 12 new teachers that we've hired in the past two years, which has allowed it to expand. And there it is. The goal of arts uh music and schools and also the goal of priority 26 is to make equitable arts across the district.
114And we are well on our way. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Cindy. Thank you, Mrs. Wildman. All right. So, we need a motion for item 12.15. All right. Who was the first? I think I did. Floors.

Uh, press the button once more until there you go. All right. Good evening, uh, President Stevens, Vice President Cologne, Trustees, Superintendent, Dr. Rodriguez. My name is Rand Davis. I'm the director of risk management and insurance here at Stockton Unified. Uh tonight risk management department asks you to approve uh the actual renewal of our property and liability. We have a presentation today um through Kenan who handles the NCR for the actual uh property and liability. So I would like
118to turn it over to Jeff Johnston from uh Keenan. Thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight. It's great to have you guys as a partner. It's been over 20 years that we've been a partner and that you've been a member of Northern California Relief, which is a pool that you belong to for property and liability coverages. And I just want to talk a little bit briefly about the renewal um just to give you an idea of what it's about. Um we had some real challenges as we've had over the last couple years going out to the market for especially property and liability property as you're aware in California, all the wildfires, the craziness of the losses that have occurred. you know, the the property market's been very very challenging with all of those losses
119in California and all across the world was starting to calm down a little bit for us on our renewal. So, we go out and we talk to all the insurers that cover the excess in these pools and uh we go all over the world and talk to them and they get really nervous when they hear you're in California and you're in wildfire country even though Stockton is not. A lot of districts are um and a lot of you have probably experienced this if you live in areas where um State Farm is dropping you for coverage and things. So it's a really challenging market. So it was starting to calm down a little bit and then we got into the LA wildfires in January and that kind of sent everybody reeling. So underwriters got a little
120crazy and scared and so that didn't help us in our renewal but ultimately you know we came out pretty good. The other one is sexual abuse and molestation. Um I'm sure you know in a lot of the um close sessions there have been cases that have been discussed about sexual abuse and molestation and you know Stockton is not alone in this area. Um, social inflation is just uh been crazy. So, the jury verdict awards have been just unprecedented, especially in California. Uh, 2023, there was $135 million award for two victims for Marino Valley and Riverside. So, it just shows you the importance of making sure that you are well covered. And, uh, it's not an easy market, but this pool is so large that you belong to with Northern California Relief. Um, for property there's
121137 almost $138 billion in total insured values. And for for property, how it's figured is your total insured values times a rate and times your loss experience. And so, um, you're covered for 500 million, $250,000 per occurrence. And we have that high limit there because some districts are in close proximity and when you get these big wildfires, it could take out numerous districts. And so, we want to make sure you are well covered. um for a property, um you also retain the first $100,000 of every claim. So, you're kind of working to make sure it's kind of like your deductible in your own insurance. You want to make sure that you um manage that well and you want to take on some of that because that makes your ultimate rate to Northern California relief lower
122because you're taking on the risk before it's going into these other layers. Liability. Um, another uh way that we're really to negotiate these things is we're 520 local education agencies, 2.9 million ADA. Um, it's a good bargaining power when we're going out all over the world. So, for your coverage limit, it's $75 million um per occurrence. And why is that necessary? Because what I just talked about uh is that going to go backwards? Sorry. Uh it's necessary because of these crazy verdicts. And I wanted to say um in some of the reports that have come out recently about from FickMad and others, they're really saying you can pretty much expect 20% premium increases across the board because this challenging market, it's so crazy. Um so when we did our meeting with Rollins, talked about what
123the renewal was going to look like back in March, we said, you know, it could be up to 20% increases. And um that's just the rate. That doesn't really take into account your history. So, if you've got a loss history that's a little bit higher than normal, there's a little bit extra that you have to pay. Just like any insurance, when you go for your car insurance and there's tickets on your record and they say, "Hey, you're a higher risk. We're going to be charging you a little bit more." So, that's exactly how this works. So, ultimately, your renewal, um, just the highlights, your property loss history has been great. Um, and the NCR cost was stable, um, because we were able to negotiate with all these excess carriers. Um, it's good. your liability loss
124history has increased a little bit over the last couple years. Um, but you've been assertively um addressing these claims and also putting in um proactive things like uh um NCR and Kenan has uh mandated reporting courses and training and Title 9 training and all of those things that really go toward preventing those types of losses from happening in the future. Um so it did increase um but it wasn't certainly the 20% projected um and the additional for the loss history. Overall it was a really favorable renewal considering the market. Um the cost increase was 10% given the loss history of the current market and the superior coverages. Consider yourselves really lucky compared to other districts that are out there. So I think you guys are doing a good job. um you know, you've been a
125great member and I'm I'm really excited about the risk management department really proactively working together with with a lot of changes that have happened over the last couple years. So, we're um excited about this renewal and and thank you for giving me the opportunity to present that to you. All right. Thank you so much, Jeff. Any questions for Jeff? All right, hearing none.

Good evening, President Stevens, Vice President Cologne, Board of Trustees, Superintendent Rodriguez, and Cabinet. Tonight, I'm excited to bring for uh before you for your consideration this item for a comprehensive technology for the transportation department. I'm excited for this innovative solution for our district, student, families, and community. I did want to take a moment to thank our transportation manager, Rudy Valddorama. He put his heart and soul into this project this year and it was the basis for his department scorecard. Opening up communication and transparency is what we want to do in the transportation department and we think that this solution is going to be a great
133asset for our department. Um so with us I have from Zoom services Miss Kristen How and she has a short presentation for us. Thank you. Thank you so much for having us this evening. Um we are so excited to be here. We're thrilled about the partnership. Um, and tonight I'll share a little bit more about our organization, our technology, and just what you can expect from Zoom um, as a partner. [Music] Here we go. Um, so Zoom was founded in 2014 um by our CEO, Ritu, who is a working mom and a first generation immigrant. and she founded Zoom to solve a problem that she faced very personally. Um, getting her two students to school safely and reliably every day. Um, and what she realized is that that was a challenge that was faced by
134many families and many school systems across the country. So, she founded Zoom with one mission really to modernize student transportation. And when we think about modernization, it's not just about the technology. Um really we start first with our values. Um so you know something I hope uh is that in every interaction that you have with Zoom uh you will feel and experience these values and really see them come to life. For sake of brevity tonight, I'm just going to choose one. Zoom has a reputation for being customer obsessed. And when we think about our customers, we're not just thinking about the school district, but we're thinking about every student, every family, every driver, um your principles, your school administrative st your school administrative staff. Um really thinking about the holistic partnership. And we're obsessed with
135really improving the experience of all of your community. And we're, you know, this really is a great example is through our parent app. So parents have the opportunity to rate each ride out of five stars and provide direct feedback through the parent app. Across our organization, almost half a million ratings. We have an average uh rating of 4.9 out of five stars from parents. And that's not just due to the fact that we provide that opportunity for the two-way feedback, but it's because in partnership with our school districts, uh we follow up and ensure that parents are responded to when they do have issues that do come up through that mechanism and that that communication channel. Um and we have expanded our services now to 14 states. So, we're incredibly excited to add Stockton Unified
136as a new little arrow on this map. Uh, this map represents um both of our home to both our home home to school partnerships as well as our technology partnerships like here in Stockton. Sorry, slides are a little out of order. And just to highlight a couple of our uh California based partners. So, we are a California-based company. Um, we serve districts across the state, including Los Angeles Unifi, where we operate 400 school buses, but they also use our technology on,200 of their in-house buses every day to monitor their operation and optimize performance. Um, and then Oakland Unified, want to highlight your partner directly to the west. Um, we run the nation's only fully electric EV fleet there. So, they have 74 buses that run every day fully electric. A couple of your teammates, including
137Katie and Rudy, have come and seen it live. We invite uh any of you, we'd love to host you. Um over in Oakland or any of our facilities, slides are a little out of order. Sorry. Here. And of course, our technology. So, why we're here tonight. So, I want to briefly highlight our technology. Um, it's really the backbone of our organization, of our operation. Um, and it really connects all stakeholders across your community, across your district onto one single platform, which improves transparency, communication, and really allows you to again optimize that operation and create more efficiencies across your entire uh, transportation system. So, starting with our parent app, as I mentioned, um so parents can monitor and manage the rides that are their students rides coming to and from their home and they're also able
138to provide that direct feedback um and to rate each ride. Our driver app, so our driver tablets allow drivers to clock in and clock off using the tablet. They're also able to do their um digital inspections. Um, and then they're getting turnbyturn directions in real time for all of their routes. One other feature of our driver app that really speaks to a lot of your equity goals here at at Stockton Unified and particularly through a special education lens um, is the student specific instructions. So when a driver picks up a student who might have a specific need or a special instruction, for instance, a student travels with an EpiPen or maybe a student is non-verbal and needs, you know, special personalization, the driver sees that information every time they pick that student up. So if
139it's a substitute driver, if it's the regular driver, that student is able to get that personalized and consistent experience through transportation. Students also swipe in and swipe off through an RFID system on the driver tablet. So, you're able to manage your wrership and create more efficiencies. Um, our system also has a robust routing platform. So, um, really allowing you to, you know, optimize your fleet and, uh, create those efficiencies with routing. In addition, the system has multiple dashboards that are really tailored to different roles. So, for instance, school administrators are able to use a school platform um that's available in mobile where they can see the buses that are coming to and from their campus and be able to have access to that data. As a district, at the district level dashboard, you're able to
140see all of the buses across your operation. And as a dispatcher, your operator's dashboard, that's where your real your transportation team is able to have access to information that allows them to make real-time decisions such as if a do a driver clocks in late, if uh a bus needs to be taken out of service for any reason, if a route needs coverage, they're able to make those decisions quickly using real-time data and address those situations to improve your performance. And finally, all of your field trips and athletics are also on one platform. So, it's all connected. It's all unified to again provide that transparency, that consistent communication across the operation. Um, and the backbone of all this again is real-time data and tracking. So, all of this is happening in real time. Here's a couple
141different views of the platform. So you can see across the operation from the parent level, from the school level, from the operator level, each uh stakeholder gets the information they need to make the best decisions for their uh specific role and their needs. So I know we have um limited time here, so I just wanted to be able to provide that overview of our technology, our organization. We're really looking forward to this partnership and we are ready to kick off tomorrow. We're excited to get um everything up and running for start of school year which we know is just around the corner. Um and welcome any questions and are just really looking forward to being able to partner with this wonderful district. Yeah, go ahead. I wanted to know if we could briefly hear from
142Dr. Rodriguez and um her thoughts surrounding this. Yes. So, I'm really excited about it because something that I know I hear often from parents is they want to know exactly where their child is at the moment. And so, this will allow a person to sometimes, well, not always. I believe that information is power. It also allows us to have a sense of control over what's happening. So, for example, I the bus is not here. I want to know what's happening with the bus. I'm able to look at the app and I'm able to say, "Okay, it's 10 minutes out. I know I don't have to stand out in the rain for those 10 minutes. I know that my child is on the way. I'm not worrying about it." Um, I'm excited that we're going to
143move quickly because I want to move quickly. I'm kind of a pusher. I don't know if you guys figured that out yet, but um so I'm excited that we're going to start the beginning of the school year with some of the applications and then we're going to grow into it. Um eventually I'm really excited that we're going to be able to have check in and out because then that way a parent like myself, my my entire my child's entire life I was working. So I we would be able to see, oh, Danny got on the bus at 8:02. he got off the bus at um you know 9:07 and I would be able to know that I know that's not the first day of school but we are gonna get ourselves there hopefully by January
144I understand oh no by August we will have that yeah we should have all of these components up and running pretty quickly we we also move with a sense of urgency Katie knows under promise overd deliver with me so so January so she said she said January because if I if now that you said August. It is August. So, yeah. Well, we're we're prepared to move really quickly to get you all up and running with all of the components, RFID being one of them. It really only needs the driver tablet to work. So, as long as we can coordinate everything, we should have it up and running quickly. And so I think it will be really helpful cuz a lot of times we start getting late and then what happens is we're inundated with phone
145calls at the transportation office which means that we can't answer those phone calls which then makes me more concerned because now I can't get the answer. So now hopefully we'll have less phone calls coming in because people will be able to go to the app and see where their child is and feel much more secure. So I'm super excited we're moving in this direction. I know. Um Katie and I talked about it about a year ago and I'm glad that um we got it got moving forward on it. Great. Any other questions for Miss Hal? Flores. Do we have you guys already? Did we vote on them already? Did Did we have them? Because we're speaking like we were already had them for a while and like it's a good to go. So I'm concerned
146about that. They went No, this is new. We went through the RFP process. So they did they were the winner of that RFP. Um so we did do the legal process. Um it the concept has is I've known of the concept for a while. So based on concerns that I heard right away um Katie and I were talking about LA USD and the powerful work that they're doing there. Um so no, we do need the vote, but I'm confident that you guys will help me out because I think it's um I think it's going to be really good for our parents. There are other vendors out there that offer the um ride share feature where you can swipe on and off. So, this is not a new concept with this particular vendor. Um we uh
147I was actually exploring it in my previous school district and we never quite got there before I left to come here. Um but uh yes, so RFID ch uh cards and swiping on and off the bus is not a new um method for writership sharing on school buses. It's just becoming more and more streamlined. No, I I just I am going to be your crit I'm the critical trustee as we all know that already. Um and so the way we're talking it's as if it's already been approved and this is the first time that I'm hearing anything about this. Um so that's why I'm probably left out of the conversation. Yeah. No, absolutely not approved at this moment. Uh we went for RFP and that's what we're here for tonight. Okay. Um my question is
148um I don't see a cost on here on the agenda. So there's no price and I don't know like where the funding is coming from. And then um my other question is is this going to have an effect on the routers and the planners job security? No, I don't. No, it's not going to have an effect on the routers or the specialist job security. What it's going to do is actually aid them in making more efficient decisions and more uh conducive choices for child ride time um logistical you know geographical locations for routes. It's really going to open it up for them to be more efficient and more effective. Um and then as far as price was on the contract um which is attached I believe to the agenda. Yeah, it's on page 8 of
14913. Okay. Well, can you guys give me that amount because I don't I believe it's about 350 the first year and then 395 it's 395 the first year and following years it's 151 156,000 a total of um a million for all five years. So we'll be using the transportation grant the transportation funding that we receive through the state. And what I can also offer for you trusty Flores is that we currently have multiple different vendors that we had GPS with here and we had routing here and we had uh you know whatever else here time in timekeeping TCP for their time clock which this becomes a one comprehensive solution for all of these facets and so we can end our relationship with the previous vendors that we had peacemeal these um uh attributes in and
150come out come out with one comprehensive platform that does all of those things. And our current um system that we have now is that unable to do that. Correct. That's it's only routing. So we have a we have a software that's only routing. We have a software that's only GPS. We have a software that's only for tracking student writership. This is a comprehensive bundle that does everything start to finish with the transparency for our site, district, and parent levels. Okay. I just proceed with caution. I think that's a lot of money and I'm very protective of our staff and I just want to make I I love the concept. Don't don't get me wrong. I love being Oh, yeah. I want to know where my kids at and I have a lot of parents and
151family members who are want to know where their kids at. Um but I just want to make sure that we're protecting and that seems a lot of money for me. It's for that. So, and we also are adding um something new that we'll have is the turnbyturn navigation which was also neg negotiated into our 885 contract last year in negotiations. And so we really that's what prompted us on this adventure was to satisfy what was negotiated into our contract to have turnbyturn navigation for our drivers on tablets. And that's how we kind of ventured off into this um proposal. We started looking for that to to solve that um need, right? Because it was negotiated. Um, and then as we were trying to solve that need, we found uh multiple platforms that have parts of
152what we're looking for. And then we put out the RFP and we um came back with one comprehensive bundle that does all of those things. And have you had that conversation with the unions? Like did the unions know they've approved? Because I'm getting calls from union members and they're very concerned about this. Well, I don't know why they would be concerned. I've had conversations with them about we negotiated the the the tablet so they know that it's coming. Okay. Yeah. So, I think one of the one of the big things about the program is that it's what parents ask for too because we've had a lot of conversations with parents really being upset. Um sometimes not knowing where the bus is, not knowing if the bus is coming to pick their kids up and then
153we also have parents complain that the bus did not pick their kids up ever, right? Um, so I think it also solves those problems to ensure that parents have the capability to know when, where, and how um, their kids will be moving to and from school each day and then giving them that two-way communication when there is a problem or if they are concerned about where the bus is or if they have a student that has special needs, like what does that look like and how do they convey that piece um, to the bus driver and team there. But I do believe uh, Trusty Silva, you had a question as well. Okay, any other questions? Trusty Priest, you have a face. Sure. Okay. Any other? All right. All right. Hearing none, we will move uh
154we have a first and a second. We'll move into roll call vote. President Stevens, yes. Vice President Cologne, yes. Clerk Daire, yes. Trusty Flores, I'm going to say yes. Just please don't make me regret this because this is like I'm protective of my staff and I don't want that to have an effect on the staff. I'm more protective of my staff. Thank you. Trusty Perez. Yes. Trusty Priest. Yes. Trusty Silva. Yes. Motion passes unanimously. All right. Thank you. Thank you.

157Um Vicki, she's over here. Vicki, is there an update um where Washington is um regarding having their project completed? So, Washington Elementary had to go back for some um approvals because of a it's hard to explain, but it's a a flat piece that was installed incorrectly. So, they have to go back to um the drawing board and get DSA approval to move forward. We're going forward with it and it's it's should be done hopefully before school starts this project. Oh yeah. So they gave us an update so I provided it to the board. So they um the part arrived yesterday and so it will be installed on Friday and so they anticipate that it it should be done by um June 30th. Yeah. By the end of the month. And then what about the cracks
158to the concrete? Because there seem to be some severe cracks across the playground at Washington. Yes. So if there's any cracks that was caused by the construction or any, you know, the the vehicles or equipment driving across it, then the contractor will repair that. Okay. And ETA is prior to the start of school. That's our goal. Okay. Yeah. We want we want to get this I want to get this done. So, what's the ETA that we're telling the contractors that we need the We tell them that we need this done before the opening of school, July 31st, July 24th. And if that doesn't happen, how do we provide our kids with access to their playground? they will still have access to the to the it'll be fenced off to the part that they can't play
159on and then it'll be still fixed during the time either during school or after school. Okay. You had a question uh priest I was just wondering what that would look like because currently the entire playground is fenced off. So how would that look for students if it is not done at Washington? Yes, Ryan. Do you know that that playground are they putting a sale over that because we did it already for the preschool? Excuse me. Did you want to come up to the mic? Yeah. This is Ryan Lancaster. He's a planner. He's been working on this project with me or with Tri Group. So what what you're seeing at Washington as far as the fencing goes is two different projects. One's the ELOP group B project and the other is a shade cell project. um
160the ELOP group B project, you have a fence line that runs um through the playground, sorry, uh adjacent to the playground to isolate the ELOP uh site and then the actual playground itself is still accessible except for the area where the shade cell is being um installed and that'll be done by the end of the month. The shade Yeah. So, so I think what the question is is the reason why most of the play playground is um cordoned off at this point is because it's a very long shade structure. So, they received every school site received at least two in this case at Washington they received three. So the two are have been up and then the third one is long and so what I would say just having seen the damage is we would
161cordon off well first we'd have to determine do we actually need to coordinate off we obviously want to hold them accountable to the work um but likely we could probably do cones instead of actual fencing on the damage that I saw um in the in the interimm. So, if we can't get them to get the get it done prior to the start of school, what I like most likely will happen, although our experts will go out there and look at it, is what I would say is we would cone off instead of fence off the the affected area and then have it completed um generally over a weekend. So, we could as long as it stays warm, we can um put in new pavement pretty quickly. Uh did you get that update today? You said
162um no I pro I was um engaging on Monday and so um I received it from Kathy Allen and provided it to the board on Monday. Okay. So we will do our best to keep all the fencing down so that the students can still play on the playground. That will be we'll we will convey that to the contractor. Yeah. I think most importantly it's solve it before July 31st and then if not then we'll cordon off the the pieces that are affected. Yeah. Okay. Anything else? Any other questions? All right. See none. Thank you, Vicki. All right. Moving into roll call vote. President Stevens, yes. Vice President Gal, yes. Clerk Daire, yes. Trusty Flores, yes. Trusty Perez, yes. Trusty Priest, yes.
