014318 as well as a copy of the education section 45113 I ask that you please review these documents and ask yourselves if there is any part of these documents that speak to a proceeding um I think what's happened here is that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of our collective bargaining agreement and of section 45113 um compounded by just a negative reflexive orientation towards members who seek Union representation the law is clear an employee of a unified school district cannot be terminated before the proceeding and the hearing set out in 45113 if the board makes a decision to terminate an employee before the matter is actually gone to the hearing it harms the employee by depriving them of their due process rights and it also leaves the employee in the unfortunate position of having to be

015terminated and fight for their job which is not the intention of 45113 nor is it our contract uh if we would prefer to deal with the actual matter at hand there is a matter at hand that absolutely needs to be dealt with however I believe you're being advising correctly and it's causing the matter at hand to be delayed to the detriment of everybody involved um we want to resolve this matter quickly and efficiently um if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me directly thank you very much all right thank you so much Miss barl so we have any other cases to be heard we do not thank you so much all right moving on to item 1.7 the board will now consider enclos session items by vice president colog good

034into this project um so if you could see on the website if you scroll down a bit you're going to see the QR code to the app itself and if you click on the play now button you'll be able to access the app directly from this website um if you can zoom in a bit so that it's easier to view the app there we go and so uh the first screen that you see is what device are you playing on and so here you could choose whether using a desktop or a mobile device so just go ahead and choose desktop okay so uh if you SEL like desktop real quick okay so basically it says hello Tiny Titan and you type in your name and at the end it will say uh you know congratulations

035and it'll say your name as well that's why we put the name there yeah there you go hi mg and uh what emotion is this person feeling so so the idea behind it was uh we wanted to make it as simple as possible for our prek uh audiences you that was our Target demographic and we were initially going to put a bunch of words in it but then we realized you know they couldn't read so so uh we put uh as soon as you uh as soon as you go up to the each uh emotion i i v audibly say what emotion is this person feeling just in case you know they can't read that much and uh on top of that the characters made sure that they were very cartoonish and silly and you

036know try not to be too realistic with them or you know unintentionally like you know scary or anything like that and so uh made sure that the options that there were also corresponded with uh happy also corresponded with like what they were so sad is blue Angry is angry angry is red and as you hover over them or on the mobile version if you click on the volume sound it'll say what it is uh so that they don't have to read that much and uh make sure that the characters also animate what the correct answer is so I believe this one is uh scared if we click scared oh correct good job so yeah and then he congratulates them for doing a good job and then press continue what emotion is this person feeling yeah

037so he's uh sad so here click the wrong thing press happy woohoo wrong try again so yeah we don't want to you know put it put a screen up to say oh you know try again so we just you know angry yeah if you just get it wrong it'll it'll say that and then press uh sad sad correct good job yeah and then one this one's angry so uh press angry real quick angry correct good job and uh continue what emotion is this person feeling and then this one should be happy happy woohoo correct good job there you go good job you finished at the end he says you finished good job make sure you had balloons and all kind so you know that they did a good job and uh you can restart obviously

038we're going to add more to it eventually but that's what we thought so far you guys say [Applause] so if you can get out of full screen for a second can you uh oh the hover hover over the top oh oh okay as you can see we coded on something called applab and on applab it is a web app so you can access this anywhere as long as you have a website and you have internet and you know we made this just so no matter what situation you're in if you have um problems teaching your kid emotion if teachers have problems teaching their students emotion they always have a asset that they can always go to just on the click of a button and if you can press credits you can see that this is

039the credit for our or our studio polyform Studios and if you go down to visit our website this would just be a direct link to the website that all of us together designed so if you scroll down just a little bit here's a QR code for our game and so we coded an app not only just to have a web app but this is also for us to have training in something called H2O hackathon so we plan on having training for this and taking what we learned to H2 hackathon and really showing um H hackathon our knowledge on how we coded okay can you scroll down just a bit for the website scroll down just a bit you can see here are all our motions for for the process and then if you can my

040bad I'm sorry you're going everywhere can you scroll up Scroll up go to the video and you can see that this is actually more than just an app but this is a whole project full of promotions and full of everything um if you could please move the video and just make it uh full screen many children at this AG struggle to identify makes it easier by using bright colors oh there we go so um there was a lot of promotion put into this app uh this is a whole project um not only did we code something but there was videos that were created to promote it and it it started first with going to these teachers classrooms here at well at Chavis high school we have uh preschool teachers there and so we took this

041app there and had them test it with their kids and so while they were testing it with their kids um we were also recording this video that you're seeing right now and then during the multimedia Festival that we had at Chavez High School we also um we showed off this video and after that we did a live demonstration with the audience excuse me can you um go off and can you go down through the website can you click off the video and then can you scroll down to the image Carousel I think that's how you say it and then press the next yeah so as you can see that is us at the uh multimedia festival and that is uh people live testing the app people from the community came over in uh to the

042multimedia Festival they were testing the app they were playing with it and they were giving us feedback and we made sure to incorporate that feedback into the app that we created apart from um having it promoted there we also um if you go to the next uh image you'll see that we also took it to the steam Fair and uh we promoted it there too and we had a lot of teachers come by and see it it was uh really nice being able to uh show off the app there and we were able to get second place with the app at that steamer and then we later went on to the county steam fair and we got third place there so that's that's just just a little bit of how we promoted the app and

043had the community test it MIT MIT oh yeah and so the app isn't fully finished yet what you see is uh like the main version of the app but we're still planning on adding a lot of more things into the app like more emotions uh more questions expanding it a bit and we are taking this app to the California Invention Convention where we are going to present it over there for the opportunity to take it to the MIT Invention Convention at MIT yeah okay now enough said do you guys have any questions for us so I have one question first I want to say congratulations on the work that you all did that's really outstanding but I want to know are we using the app here uh in any of our classroom with our little

044people to my knowledge we do have some classes using it for example like we said the Tiny Titans and also me and Paul went personally to our middle school and we took the app and tried to give them the asset to use the app for example we took it to Payton Elementary School to show them the app and to August Elementary too so we we took this app to our our middle schools and so they may be using it there too and the app is open for anyone that wants to use it um they can access it through the website or like looking it up little big emotions you'll be able to find it and anyone can use the app it's open to everybody to use go ahead chess Flor what motivated you guys to

050landscape of the document and within this document there have been no changes to our budget overview for parents uh for this midyear report so for our lcap we have our lcap and we have six goals which we are considering to be our lcap goal gos they are focused on our um lcap actions and U looking at lcff funded activities that are base and supplemental concentration within the lcap this particular year we do have Equity multiplier funds that have been Incorporated uh we are providing an update on that and that that midyear update includes this information but for the purposes of the report we're looking at and my presentation right now is looking at our lcff funded activities for goals 1 through six so our first goal is looking at our student academic achievement our second

051goal is focusing on the on centering around our um whole child our goal three is our passions interests and talents of our modern students so the presentation that we had from the gentlemen uh the the students fantastic because this really does reinforce our goal three and so I'm very proud to be able to follow up because this is the reason why I'm here and being able to um ensure that we are um having actions activities that we can focus our funding to support our students and to be able to Showcase not only just the gentlemen but also the students who um presented their their accomplishments goal four is also focusing on our uh meaningful partnership goal five is our success for students with disabilities and then goal six is the African-American black students thriving so

052with regards to the data that we have um the screen is small but we do have um our handouts if you're um interested so this is just a general summary compl uh a complimation of data that uh we can show uh for accomplishment So within goal one we are seeing some growth uh there is moderate improvement in our core subjects we're also seeing increased AP participation and then just focusing on our goal two we can see that our chronic absentee and graduation rates are improving for goal three um our attendance appears to be stable and our Dropout rates are reducing for goal four the information that's uh being reported out is that our engagement is uh being rated as positive for goal five we're seeing moderate progress in our Su our students with disabilities in

053specific School sites and then for goal six uh we can see that our um Ela or English language arts uh that there's Improvement uh that our chronic absenteeism has improved and that we are also improving our suspension rates with regards to the action outcomes and implementation uh we are able to report that nearly 100% of our elap actions include a status of ongoing implementation uh there are a few when you're reading through the report that may be planned they are dependent on some of the other actions that are being implemented but for the most part we are actively engaged in implementing actions that you will see within um our school sites uh within District initiatives and uh that are supporting our our metrics and moving on to the expenditures uh as I mentioned the report

054for the period is for July 1 2024 through December 31st and that should have been 2024 uh sorry um we can report that we are 41 um .03 per expended uh last year we were around 43% so we're pretty on average as to where we're at with the expenditures uh we're seeing that our total allocations were uh 299 million almost 300 Mill ion and right now as our expenditures as of December 31st 2024 that we have spent m944 so what we did is we then took that information because that was based on goals we now um du dug in a little bit deeper and identified based on each of our actions where we have spent funds uh it is on the small side so I do apologize uh but this just gives you a total

055overview and Outlook of where we have spent um our allocations and with that that's the end of the update and I would like to invite you and our community to continue to share your voice uh so we have a QR code and we are asking for you to um complete the lcap survey the elcap survey can be completed more than once um because the landscape and the interactions change and we're looking to have that continuous feedback so thank you very much for the time and I available for any questions you may have questions from the team trusty Flor have some left 11 trusty Flores can we have you speak into the microphone thank you slide 11 yeah and you see to the right where it says exponential reporting total allocated and total expended mhm what's

056the difference I would like to uh defer this to Joanne Morris um expended is what to what as of 1230 2024 we still have half a year so there's still funds ex either encumbered or being ready to be spent so some of this has salaries all salaries hasn't hit the budget yet so this is actually what's been spent yeah that's that's my question question is what is there so you're telling me now that it's going to be held for salaries it could be salaries it could be whatever the expenses are in the different categories so it could be encumbered for services it could be encumbered for um um salaries and um benefits it could be encumbered for whatever that is under that goal and that action would we as a board be um included in

057in that information you want a budget report to show what's out there and what's been budgeted yeah yes so that actually that last Slide the one that's small so we're pretty On Target and as Tiffany was mentioning last year we're at 43% at this time we're at 41 now um so we anticipate spending all of our funding for example goal six we just approved the RFP pool um and so you'll start seeing those come through actually tonight we have some that were already started to be approved um and so we do intend to to spend the money as the actions have shown so that's the next slide that's going to show the rest remaining yes so so the the next slide is that what your plan on doing with the remaining um balance yes so

058it's by each school so now all those all that money will then go towards the actions so the actions have already been determined and that's what Tiffany was mentioning is we're at 100% implementation of those actions and so now in some cases the um the actual contracts are come going to start coming through yeah thank you any other questions um can you talk about slide number seven um a through G completion dropped can someone speak to why there's a drop there for the data and the drop um I would need to defer that over to our uh oh I can defer it to Casey yeah okay we'll rese research that and then be able to provide that back um probably through the B2B yeah uh a completion on slide number seven any other questions all

059right for trusty got a [Music] question um I love that there's uh like a poster board for the survey QR code is that going to be at every site will there be an online flyer that we can share yes so we do have um the poster boards that we take with us when we have events uh we do have the poster board available um all times at FRC um we do have the uh the flyer available electronically uh that has been sent out and communicated districtwide uh to all School sites uh we also have been making hard copies of that flyer and distributing those out to the specific School sit so we have another round of uh distribution that we're going to be sending out to our school sites uh in the next couple of

060weeks any other questions for Miss Ashworth all right Sienna thank you so much Tiffany thank you so much Round of Applause to [Applause] Tiffany all right moving on to item 7.3 key performance indicator presentation chronic absenteeism Saturday school right good evening president Stevens uh vice president cologne board trustees and Dr Rodriguez uh this is our key per performance indicator chronic absenteeism Ryan hessie the director of Department of missions and child welfare and attendance uh what I'm going to focus tonight with chronic absenteeism is actually our Saturday school going to give you an update of our Saturday school and where we're headed um in the future so with Saturday school we've had three main objectives that we wanted to focus on uh the first one we want to make sure that we promote student engagement we

061want to make sure that we are connecting our students to our schools but with Saturday school we can offer those um extra activities those things that are really engaging and I think sometimes when our students whether they have good attendance or or or their attendance is is on the Poor Side the hope is to bring them into Saturday school reconnect with our staff through fun activities that are also educational and and really kind of bring that um that that joy and the the connection with the school back um through I I'll explain a number of the amazing activities that we had at Saturday school um the second one uh to recover lost attendance Ada so students who show up to um Saturday school we can recruit that ADA and I'll explain that later in the

062uh presentation but also we want to make sure that we're looking at our data we're looking at our data and that's how we uh how it drives our decision making so those are our three objectives um I am going to highlight a few of slides that I've had in the past just to make sure um everyone's on the same page with Saturday school so what we looked at we looked at The Chronic absentee rate from last year um based on the school sites and then we uh based on where they fell in those percentages like the Z through 15 uh we had five schools that were under 15% chronic absenteeism so they got a pass for not having to do Saturday school u a third of our schools were between the 15 and 30% so

063they had to complete at least one Saturday school this year and two-thirds of our schools were over 30% last year so um they had to at least do two two of the three Saturdays now we did have some schools that were very ambitious and they wanted to do all three and we were said go ahead we'll support you in that so we've had a couple um that are going all three as well so these were our three dates uh we had February 1st uh we just had our second one February 22nd uh this last Saturday and our last one is going to be March 8th so for Saturday schools we had to make sure that it was a minimum 240 minutes per Ed code uh and we had to provide breakfast and lunch uh for

064all students who attended uh we wanted to make sure that there's an admin design on campus the teacher ratio would be one teacher for 24 students wanted to make sure they had an office staff to help uh students and families who showed up that day and answer questions answer the phones help out with uh various things during Saturday school and make sure that um all the school sites were safe so we had one CSA or CSM per 150 students so the morning schedule was our regular um academic focused uh time from 8: to 12 so it was a 4-Hour period U but during this it wasn't just just regular academics um our schools focused on sips they focused on stem really wanted to engage the students in um some really Hands-On activities and then also

065we wanted to make it appealing for parents too and say Hey you know not just four hours on a Saturday but if your students want to enjoy elop um they could do that from 12: to 4: um kind of enticing our parents to um be able to get some of that uh Saturday school Saturday like chores and shopping and things done so they can drop their students off they're so engaged for the entire day for eight hours and then um parents can have you know time to do those things that they need to do during the probably don't get do get to do during the week but want to do it during the weekend um so how we started this um we wanted to make sure that everyone was trained so we have some principles

066who're doing Saturday school we have a lot of assistant principles who are doing Saturday school but we also had admin designes so those were um staff that are in other uh positions that are not admin School administrators but they have an admin credential they're aspiring to be an administrator so this is a great time for them to have that on the site training and to really gain some of that experience so we can kind of build up our our administrative team we had 11 fantastic uh departments in our district provide the support in that training safety um special ed came in transportation Health Services HR we had a number of um uh departments that came in train them get got them ready for Saturday school because we're still treating it like a like an actual

067school day but we want to make sure we have all things in the background covered in case something happened so they were trained and with Saturday school we wanted to make sure that all of our students were welcome to attend Saturday school but with the greatest impact we also wanted to connect our chronically absent students those students who are 10% or higher um in their absenteeism uh students who almost chronically absent they kind of fall on the 5 to %. and and then any student who has an absence to make up um that's where we got our greatest impact but everyone was invited but we thought those students if we can also um hone on those students encourage those students as as well we can kind of reconnect them to the school site and make

068sure that they can see a more engaging fun side of the school that maybe would kind of help the attendants come back around so our first Saturday school was February 1st so we had 21 School sites K through 12 that participated um our projected number was 1186 students um during the month of January we didn't have a single day of rain and then February 1st in our Saturday school it poured rain of course um but we still had 716 students that came out um across the district uh to participate during that time um we went to a number of schools um we there was a science teacher who had uh had their students make aluminum foil boats and put them in little tubs of water and then they would add Wing nuts to kind of

069see how much the boats could hold and then if you displ them in the middle or spread them out what it would do and You' create different types of um scient uh scientific um hypothesis kind of figure out what it did um another one on on the pictures here uh we had a School site this is over at grunsky they were doing hydraulic Bridges so very cool stuff they built Bridges out of popsicle sticks and they built Hydraulics to R make those bridges go up and down um and again our k8's really focused on the sips and the stem but um our high school also you know wanted to um make sure when they got to to Saturday school they made sure you know the main things make sure they got their homework done they

070got their tutoring in also Credit Recovery as well um so those were some things on the first Saturday but on the second Saturday um one of the uh schools that really stood out was uh was Edison so a lot of students um walk walked to school so on the first Saturday they didn't have very high numbers because of the pouring rain but they really made a big effort to try to increase their attendance and they were the highest um School attendance for our second Saturday they had um multiple um band classes that were training for upcoming trip to New York uh there was AP Calculus toring uh there was an anatomy class that that was very fascinating they're learning how to stitch um wounds back together and they're using fake skin and learning how to

071do you know medical stitches I thought it was a really cool thing um we just had that I couldn't get the pictures in before this was due but um I'll add some for for another time but we had 29 schools that participated in this one K through 12 our projected uh students were 2,000 I just got those numbers in we a little lower than that but you know with Saturday school we want to keep encouraging our students to attend and and and take advantage of our Saturday schools and our last Saturday school is March 8th so this one we're anticipating 30 sites who are participating for this last one we're hoping that we can get around 2,000 students to to attend uh we're going to be reaching out to our school sites again to reach

072out to our students to encourage them to send reminders the night before to make sure that they come out and really experience the great things that they planned oh and um another thing I I just have to point out um there was a second and third grade class I went into over at uh Spanos and they were learning how to build solar power ovens to roast marshmallows in the sun I mean wow that's up my alley you know right so some really cool ideas innovative ideas that they were doing for Saturday school so uh with Saturday school we're always looking at the data making sure it's driving our decisions and the reason why we picked those dates besides we wanted to avoid three-day weekends to make sure we got biggest bang for our buck uh

073March 1 is is the cut off uh for reporting Ada so talking to our um our auditor Ash sing he really helped us with making sure we're hitting those deadlines for every 133 students that attend Saturday Saturday school we can recoup one Ada so that would be as if one uh student had perfect attendance for the year that type of attendance we could recoup that with 133 students who showed up for Saturday school so our projections I hope we reach this we might be a little lower but if we can get 4,000 students for this year uh we could recover close to 30 Adas for the year and looking at the numbers for that that um that could be between $10,000 and $12,000 per student that we could recover um which could put us I'm

074hoping between $200,000 and $300,000 and88 that we could recoup uh for Saturday school and that's for three uh days of Saturday school and this is just the beginning we're just scratching the surface uh we're just laying the foundation and we're hoping to give our school sites more autonomy but also for my uh Department to still oversee make sure they're they're hidden their checklist for Saturday school before we you know they can be approved and run with those Saturdays but um we definitely uh I think we're off to the right start and we're looking forward to expanding that for next year as well any questions or comments for the students who attended who were not chronically absent how do they impact the the Ada or does it just not count for them when they attend on

075the Saturday well for any student who has an absence they can they can make up that absence so um chronically absent or not chronically absent um you know if they're perfect attendance they wouldn't be able to recruit uh attendance but anybody else who has a day yeah we can make it up um the so aside from the number of students increasing the Ada um what does it look like for those students who need credit recovery what is the percentage of their um success and with going to Saturday school yeah that's that's a good question we just had our second one um I'll definitely be reaching out to the school sites U um sending out surveys to kind of get some of that information back um so then I could have a better answer for you

076in the future yeah if regards to keeping the the Saturday safe um I see uh ratio is one for every 150 students for csms yes 150 students yes seems like a lopsided okay uh would it's not we were just uh we were looking at how uh Saturday or summer schools have done it in the past and and and typically I think uh with a lower number of students um usually School sites are very aware of of their students I think Edison was the highest and they they got up to 150 um most School sites were were under that I I I would say though if a School site does Express a need um we wouldn't deny them if they felt like it was an issue you know for safety of course we want to make

077sure that's taken care of um I did some schools side visits this week and um that this was brought up so I just want to make sure that that the school sites are given the proper support um that they need and before not just on that day but before to actually get the students there cuz what is what is it that we're doing like if a kid is not coming on a regular day what are we doing to get them to come on a Saturday right exactly so we throughout the entire year we're making sure we're having attendance meetings at our school sites uh my team is always making those connections with those families they we we generate uh list twice a month that my my department gets that all the school sites get of

078not just the chronic absentee rate but also the students who fall in those categories so in the past it was just the students who were 10% and now we've changed that to also include five and 9% students to try to be proactive and try to make those connections before they get to that that chronically absent part so somebody from the CWA department is contacting the students families aside from the school site yes both okay all right any other questions for Mr hessie all right seeing none thank you so much thank you item 9.1 approval of board bylaw BB and exhibit e 9270 conflict of interest is there a motion I motion to approve is there a second a second all right any discussion hearing none roll call vote president Stevens yes vice president colon yes
