Good
003afternoon to the table. The directive is going to be a conversation have fun tonight and I hope that We can learn a lot, to begin with, I I want to establish the foundation of what We're going to establish this tonight Where are our schools? Currently, uh, what are they going to do right now? from now on give a update an opportunity for we can have a longer conversation deep and perhaps share some questions or concerns that have a table directive as we move forward with our programming, so good can to start off really well, so first I wanted to To begin, I wanted to talk a little bit about our programs and the areas of This approach I think it started a few years ago. We begin with an approach to highlight some of our
004schools the work they are doing. So We started this concept of programs optional and through the transformation in this process Good in In reality, we were referring to everyone. the school programs but I I wanted to clarify the difference between the elective programs and areas of the focus of schools is to have clear definitions and in terms we get more specific as we talk Regarding the programs, the idea is that it's a specialized programs offer opportunities specialized for students and Along with those opportunities comes a process a structure some criteria that need to be fulfilled in order to be able to uh to request to participate in that type of program for example So the reason which is why we have these elective programs are to achieve a focus area eh Well, what does the
005community care about? some way or something that sees that students need this and so we can support the concepts that are Presenting tonight, tonight we're going to talk more about that topic but for Let's begin. bishop bishop was formerly leader and despite continuing to incorporate some of the above concepts in They stopped putting the work on him focus on the Leadership program O whether based on the suggestions of their parents the general community the Students decided that despite that this was indeed important, some of the criteria and details that They used in that program, they were a little less important and were not serving really to the H community the degree that They needed to do that, so therefore in bishop even though they are still using those concepts Their approach remains to be determined.
006having started an exploration process is Well, actually, at the end of the year Last school year they started this process They have parents with whom they are working in a very focused way to to be able to finish the different details of what they need to take into account They are talking to the parent committees in the student committees are exploring other ways of uh get uh the suggestions of the bishop community so they can take into account all the opinions that So they correspond to the goal they have It's about bringing those concepts to the meeting. cabinet and once they clarify to the table once we have the recommendation to be able to Let's wait for the final decision. August 2025 So that's basically it information we have about bishop and the plan that
007they have and originally good we are already focusing on that school Colombia Colombia started to implement a program called Together they are the students who passed from San Miguel's primary school and They started attending school secondary school Colombia the This approach is, of course, incorporated. with what we are doing in terms of the Spanish immersion program of program together and are continuing also those who are already working with social and emotional learning that already It forms part of the basis of what they are doing not only within this program but they will continue throughout the entire campus highlighting the environments prioritizing the schools safe and are doing everything possible to support the safety ratio in school and also in teaching rigorous. So they've been focusing a lot in some of the concepts the skills in
008which They are currently working on For example, they are focusing on the creativity, collaboration, critical thinking they are trying to incorporate those aspects throughout your programming throughout the school and by assumed in the programming of together I also wanted to add this part in Regarding Pride and the mantra they have I know there were some questions at this school about good because it is important as part of this programming and it is important because it corresponds to the culture of Campus in general I think it has been the basis, in fact of what they are, uh, have been producing during the last few years that It is the same, it has, it is just as important as comparison with the Juntos program. That is We need to have a connection between These two programs are
009for both of them. spaces and can focus on both spaces and can respect the work of the two programs, eh, separately. I think this pride program... Pride has been a great help to the community of Colombia and corresponds a lot with the student experiences within of their surroundings, which also This aligns with our strategic plan. and the emphasis we are providing alito to the District It's good that the school doesn't have the I think there were cell phones in sight a question: what are we talking about? This has to do with the programs optional and good in terms of the focused teaching throughout the In recent years the intensity of the use of cell phones inside the school in a way appropriate and inappropriate also not We are only talking about the Inappropriate behavior, huh?
010I don't know. It necessarily deals with, uh, when the students are, for example and using phones to do trap. In other words, it's not just about That's what the parents and I think everyone said. We, to a certain extent. We want to focus on this initiative because it is a significant initiative and They are becoming more and more common. research regarding the quantity of time that students spend in their phones Well, we also have to think about What about student safety? Students are learning when They are in school, they are getting What they need, we're not saying. Technology is indeed important in our education system Definitely, but we want them to students use it as a tool Oh, and we have what you need in the We are very fortunate to have classrooms the tools
011that students They need. So they really need to use Cell phones are not necessary for the students can use technology During the school day we have, uh, another type of access to technology so They are starting to think about this initiative as a process to prepare So that it is taken into account, so that perhaps in the future, simply as School District based on what We learn during this process of research also wanted I want to highlight the emphasis that is placed on it. in the pride of the bulldog Pride that uh program that was like an event that They had so that the community the different members of the community They knew, or for example, many parents and many students who were Interacting is a way to ensure that parents come to campus when
012At other times, they don't necessarily go Being able to be there is an opportunity to talk about the performance of the students the experience of the volunteers and the other things that We want those that the families uh, they participate, for example, well, it's a opportunity to connect uh So that the teachers are also in the community and that is a significant emphasis of the community It's about creating a community and a space safe for all students, eh any and all students to despite his language Okay, moving on with Fairwood Elementary School Fairwood really has this program which has a dedicated focus on the participation and volunteering of the families continue providing learning to basis of participation eh volunteer opportunities It does much more compared to others schools and also, I mean, create that sense
013of community participation of the community and is really helping our students so that they learn to solve problems think in a criticism to use hands to learn to learn in a practical way learning within schools different ways and we incorporate all the areas of our goals because this This model actually serves the students and throughout the plan of studies they have throughout the day and It gives them additional opportunities outside of the school day and also by the late after classes in FW for example we have in many Volunteers and families continue to support teachers doing work volunteer 2 hours per week volunteers do various activities and I think a very good job has been done I work to ensure that everyone has something that corresponds to his schedule lifestyle, etc., so that everyone families
014feel welcome so that they have the support they need and can also support the goals of the school eh continue providing opportunities in history science Many more opportunities, too. They try to continue cultivating what the gardens the cooking programs by example they have and many of these activities have to do with eh the learning based on the inclusion and the projects there was a question in which it was well asked Yes, these projects still form part e yes, what the children are learning We have several approaches, including the projects that they have to do students through projects We can achieve the different goals that they have, uh, the classrooms is a way more focused on supporting the areas key eh of the We are also planning studies the units, for example, thinking about what it
015is what we can incorporate into the How can classrooms support them? Parents and How can we expand the learning and work that is happening daily so that it is not just an activity like a activity that is done separately from the rest but it actually becomes part of our academic goals that we have for students and also for the teachers That's more appropriate. In that sense for the needs of both both teachers and students Okay, great, moving on, let's... Talk a little about Lakewood School Lakewood Elementary has some questions and We'll answer them a little bit in a moment. later when we're talking about this school this school has I've been focusing a lot on the four Main focus ideas Uh, I'd say that for that level in in general many of our schools They
016are trying to follow this path When we first started doing e We didn't see that implementing that path would allow us to... the community in lqu is talking Much of the importance of these We have a lot of support for these ideas, but we have I've been trying to incorporate these support to make them more meaningful more focused on eliminating things that don't are very relevant or have not had That much success is part of it continuous programming to ensure that What we are contributing is truly what that we need to have. And if it is meeting the needs of students and part of that process by For example, is finding ways continuous listening to the contributions of the parents and students so that the Students can also tell us yes Those are the things
017I liked about that we know which programs are going Okay, and what kind of support do we need? We need additional elements incorporate And we have, uh, all this is also related to our strategic plan is directly related has It has a lot to do with the work we are doing. trying to do his job tried to improve what already It was there to improve what wasn't there working well and now to say good. So what can we incorporate? What is it? the next thing we need to add to incorporate into this process and have begun to incorporate several new aspects which has been excellent We are very fortunate to have such a great staff of having been part of the grant in order to create a wellness center In this school we have a
018center for well-being that center has a assistant who also works yí a community liaison a specialist who They meet on Mondays and the main reason which is why they hold their meetings to talk about the initiatives, what is it What is still missing, what is it that What is going to happen? we need to take into account And well, the general atmosphere of the school culture of school with that wellness center We have also been able to incorporate student leadership These students are also contributing activities trying to incorporate more sports into the recess and during lunch we have several clinics on campus too because how are we trying to see if Are we going to continue with the clinics or if We have other good collaborators in the Mental Health: What kind of support We
019need to provide the additional information to children after school too that there will be extra support that we can which we have already added to this program and We'll talk in a bit. more about those elements that we have incorporated what we have also The built-in wardrobe is a continuous piece of furniture with clothes Eh, it's a wardrobe for which well We ask for donations and we want Managing that wardrobe well is part of it. The work the team does too, eh They have food that they offer uh, canned food for example and it also has a distribution of Dental assessments also which will begin in April and we're going to try to collaborate more with the parent education for provide a few opportunities more dedicated to the community, so well, that's what it's been
020the community requested regarding the student opportunities We expanded the Klas program; we now have 34. additional students who play basketball, football, yoga, for example, these These are some of the initiatives that They are done in collaboration with the city of Sanibel has coding with Legos activities for girls that they like Running coding for girls also several sports that are doing and we want to see what else If We have the capacity to add more elements to this program not yet but we are reviewing some of the opportunities that We're doing very well moving forward with Saint Miguel regarding Saint Michael and we are still supporting the program of Investing together in Spanish and English is a very strong initiative for the students learn to be bilingual and that they can read and write in both
021There are proficiency classes in languages cultural We evaluate academic performance in both languages and we really are trying to focus on performance academic in both languages in each emphasis we have. So We definitely see data that The existence of that program supports it. This program I know that someone us He asked what we were going to talk about right now or So, how can we measure and evaluate how Our programs are effective. How We can improve our programs We know we have many things about which we can talk about at the level political to reinforce the need for to have this program in San Miguel to the end of the 2023-2024 school year, eh We have definitely seen that our Students are demonstrating good Spanish literacy skills We always want them to improve, but we
022have seen good signs of That also applies to schools in Title One, uh, they are being administered, uh The results in English and Spanish There are some aspects that are more strong in English or Spanish but they are one of the advantages we have thanks to the bilingual education program Yo I think that generally it has been something very positive both for the school and for the district in In general, just a few things that I want to emphasize, of course. starting Yes, with the prize that was won in the 2022 23 many of the students who They don't enter this program, uh, they're not originally Spanish speakers but when they leave our school to In the end, yes, they are bilingual. And that's something very beautiful thing that we can cultivate so much each
023program both the program of neighborhood like the Together program has uh about 30 367 students more or less to 428 students all We need to work to cultivate this. That program isn't something that stops to suddenly exist But it is still very positive and we see a lot of good programming These two programs are also good. We can support students from Kindergarten through fifth grade, that's a very important change for We're doing very well, continuing with Vargas. Vargas had been one of those programs about which we had talked about with an emphasis on science, it's a school of This approach is not a program because They are schools, there is nothing different about them. What must be done to be able to go to Vargas? a school of neighborhood is not a program that can
024choose the students but a school that corresponds with the neighborhood and are trying to create learning opportunities eh focused on science, for example using the science lab the director school is cultivating eh That is Well, trying to incorporate it as well the others programs and good and that using a base based on the standards, uh, we still do that We try to have a plan to studies eh Very captivating we are trying to Incorporate the science curriculum science lab and also we are trying to still make sure to a laboratory active apart from the laboratory of science To support creativity and the curiosity of the students is a year in which We're really trying things. new on campus and trying to see if It works, and we can incorporate even more into it. campus to
025be able to support the focus on sciences that this has school very good Speaking about the visits and laboratory we are trying to make sure that all the students take walks Schoolchildren tried it a little last year past but we are trying to bring things that give them more opportunities followed by what we can offer on campus We will continue to cultivate the notebooks science students talk about integration of the simple sciences and we're going to continue and doing research We want to see what we can do. There are many aspects to doing in Vargas. that we need to take into account At the beginning there are many things that are Excellent, but sustaining it is another thing entirely. that is being learned above all When there are holidays, no then We need to find
026a way to to sustain what we are offering and see How can we improve what we are doing? doing in this school during the winter holidays Spring of summer For example if affects the sustainability of this Well, we just want to try to... see How can we use the power of people and also fiscal resources in order to find a balance very well before If we continue talking, I want to come back. Regarding the open registrations and our policy that we understand that our families have this option some some of the programs They are more affected than others. So that minimize what is possible and that is, the possibilities for the student enter the programs that correspond to your postal code but we want to continue supporting this process we want to have eh opportunities
027so that students can choose their We prioritize special schools for example, students with special needs special programming special in the campus just to ensure that everyone May everyone feel good in regarding the school they are attending that corresponds to your lifestyle uh By For example, we are very fortunate to to be able to do that and most of the Over time we have been able to be consistent and fairness in our process so Well, we're not perfect either, but I I think we do a good job and we we make sure that we are allowing families who are where they want to be to be for the education of their Okay, kids, now we're going to do a pause, let's talk but these are thoughts that I have things that I think the table You
028should perhaps take into account things that must Yes, maybe we can talk. more about everything I just presented thank you Very good, thank you to the board of directors. Thanks. Okay, let's begin with Community comments So I see that we have five cards here in person and if there is I think someone online wants to There is a very online person Great! That's good. Perfect, this part of the agenda provides an opportunity for the members of the public to speak directly with the table directive on item three that Okay, we'll have 30 minutes in total. and 2-3 minutes per person We have seven comments in 3 minutes It's 21 minutes, we want 3 minutes per person s that S we can do very Okay, let's go Let's begin with Jessica Jerry Excuse me, we have
029here the Hello everyone, I am Jessica, I am a mother of a student in Vargas and another one in that MS I am the president of PTA in Vargas But I'm here speaking for myself, not... What I wanted to mention, what I wanted to talk about a little bit of the program in Vargas When I entered the district two years ago two years and then I thought about where I wanted to go. enroll my children then I researched public schools and saw that Vargas, which is a science school and already That's the approach, but I made the approach especially because that then I heard the concerns of many parents A Where is the program going? I've spoken with him. director a lot and I am convinced who wants to continue with the science program but
030no more wants empathizing is surely an area of concern and needs a lot of support and I believe our community does feels that we would like We would like this table to show that This is something important, something we're going to to continue, which will be something that emphasizes the school more than other schools in I need to not take one thing away from another. school we want to say that what that We make it something real. important And if this isn't the focus, that's fine. But whatever we do, we have to really do it like very impactful next speaker He's like a father, the same way. pta Then I'll say by Bueno, very good explanation of Doc, I like the idea of leadership. This is something very important to know who it is and
031how it is Leading, in particular, is difficult Translate this focus on students The teachers never did it. They agreed that this is a somewhat unusual program. Difficult, no. In my opinion then, me It would be interesting to see some figures on participation And so on But it's ours an understanding that does not serve our Very good, community, so we already have a committee, that is, arts projects, but arts has We already know the advantages of the most potential. not with art create steam No, but this comes the unique position that Bish has It's not something we have and should host some examples we have talked about, that is visits to the schools can understand How art is incorporated into everything then our request that is Identify grants and such for grab them I would also
032like to see the materials. investments that make the program Specifically, we now have the program if there are limits The best example is having, like a or master art supplies or music, that is, performances in schools There's no need to dedicate certain resources if This is going to be ours focus and good I don't know why California was lost here. I am an engineer, but my wife is... one is a graphic designer And blames to the schools the teaching of art that had in elementary school any The initiative cannot be carried out potential without financial and organizational support Thank you, next. is pegy Sher as the father of Bishop, I'm listening to this. presentation I wanted to clarify something the difference between choice program and approach There are two very important programs at the school.
033strong in faw Y together and in Bishop, we are a choice program But we are moving towards an approach no arts and acting arts visuals like a program a possible program But I was asking if an area The focus would be more fitting Better, and I want to know the meaning of those two of those two of those two terms So I don't know exactly How that one process but it's in committee. And yes I want to repeat what he He said the need for support talk later so that any change is guided by the community no I mean started in the community but maybe also. I mean the structure, that is, to explore the approach and all that wouldn't be enough to start it a a program that might be in schools that is,
034the Children learn music and already have very rich art education then I want to reiterate that need for support of the district and of the table if this is something that in which We believe that could be a lesson for I would like to see that support for our children. offered to the community and I want to mention that I know that the previous reasoning of having election programs to change the registration areas and If it was achieved together in faw, but I want to know if there has been a negative effect on the others I do see some very, very good schools. parent participation And all this, and they are parents who live in my house. My neighborhood. So that. Ah, me. I would like to make us a program of The election has
035two people in line has 3 minutes Okay, we'll be there in under 20 minutes. yeah so It's courtney Jon followed by Petra House courney janson logo Petra House Good evening My name is Jensen spoke on behalf of a mother of two Children, I want to thank the District these programs and these areas, that is, programs of choice when I chose a school for My son, two years ago, I didn't look for anything else. from San Miguel because the programs in those schools they were so strong I'm so happy that today my children They are in San Miguel on a program of together then thanks to the district and the staff of San Miguel for giving my those children opportunity and already thinking about the programs One thing that struck me about the choice was... that
036balance that those bases those foundations although they do not attend that school that all children need Learn technology science has to lead and then collaborate So I'm going to give my opinion. How can they? Expand this for a school of technology, let's see if we can include something like virtual reality for your information robotic to best photograph and also more coding or Establish a team of exploration for children 8 to 10 years old of science. Maybe some types different types of garden plants naas kitchen nature excursions and different collaborations, even if it's a school science can become a school last time outdoors I I love that art, I'm not a I don't do that much today, but the importance of music and Our children are the most important thing. visual arts some updated ceramic band
037photo chorus, so they're all ideas then Thank you for having these programs and if I I enjoyed listening to this next presentation p and then Thanks to I am two children in first grade in Bish, I'm part of the committee exploring the different options for the program either Focus on what I want to talk about That is, we have some teachers phenomenal and a phenomenal community that we are developing in bish not because the pta different events and what it which emphasizes is the potential of our future there, not working with the community That, and also when we talk about space and structure of our schools are needed consider the financing and also How can we be creative for the programs after of classes in conjunction with the programs during the day to maximize these
038Opportunities will be very important What has emerged is structured is the school schedule, no There's a lot to cover in order to further satisfy. The basics. So it's very important. think how do we do that process and that holistic experience inside and outside of the school the also activities response classes is desperately in need So, or maybe I was thinking that when... we consider those elections and the opportunities for further collaborations I also want to repeat what he said Courtney, we are in a region with many resources but it won't always be our schools then need to take advantage of those collaborations with technology other spaces, that is universities and others I know that the The county is thinking about how to share What resources and what possibilities are there? then we need to consider
039those opportunities for collaboration also Thank you for having this and giving us one when we already consider program of Thank you last. Laura, thank you for having this forum reaper San Miguel now the minor is Thank you for explaining these in Colombia. Some programs have a My daughter started with the program together in first grade in 2016 that vibrant community that triumphs in San Miguel and that I already see in Colombia did not suddenly go through the Eight years in San Miguel changed It improved, and as one person said, it's a two schools that were considered for your children would be great to see that all schools are considered Not everyone They are not only focused but attract we don't have resources and I appreciate this conversation, that is, some of those changes if should
040occur So we've already started the conversation then. Thank you, thank you, well, thank you, and that's it. It's good to have so many members of the community participating before start our Let's extend the discussion until... 7:15 because Yes, we have quite a few things in the schedule minutes for all Yes, yes, 715. But there's a lot in the agenda not until 7:15 but what I wanted to do is start as an introduction to us and then we can start the discussion So, if you have any questions or observations and then we can discuss our preferences first is We always want to make sure that everyone have an opportunity and a voice in this process then the difference is how would this be reflected in different, that is, the attempt no the intention or Whether it's
041not a bad idea to start like a school of focus because it is a not The path then requires having one idea to take into account in order to become a choice program. Not because we're going to experiment and try and develop capacity not only within the community resources But within the staff and So everyone needs a staff motivated and trained to support that type focus No then the potential must be considered of everything, that is, that's his his approach Resources take time to develop. To obtain, that is, it can now be divided piece by piece and that is, you have to support specific projects and then It's already developing and So it can't be done. Turn something on and then it will change next year may not be a I'm walking, a question that
042yes I have, we're going to be consistent of how this affects students of English and socio-emotional because these approaches already No, I mean they move away from So, how are we addressing those? two things and Yes, that's behavioral and socio-emotional. are the fundamental. That is, you can't have one. without the other So that's it. foundation must be integrated incorporate So when we start those initiatives F something like something new but now, I mean, it has to be just like English and math. I mean, I don't have math. These are not very specific you ask me like whatever the last one is, however we determine when a school approach has Success. So what are the indicators? of the success, that is, now we use different other definition of success because it is. And that could be
043a focus or program or as a school a good school So, what are the indicators of success in terms of fulfilling the school and community needs not and but I can't say that we have a program or focus. In other words, we don't have an indicator. everything starts with What we will align in the process is the process of planning, not metrics indicators and behaviors do not that What do we do to ensure the The results we want, not all of that, will go away. to integrate into the good process because I was in the head when when he spoke of this be In my brain, I had certain thoughts of each one or what some might be indicators together OR can be connected to I know high school isn't going to happen, it's not
044going to happen nothing more needs to happen tonight have that conversation that when we do this work, that is, if we want to be successful How do we measure success? What is a indicator of success and also that a question that did Peggy, and I don't think she's going to answer. tonight totally but either And I know it's not going to happen tonight, but I know what that difference is between a program of choice and an area of focus No, I mean, we're already figuring that out, and that's it. We will continue Go ahead. I have so many opinions about this. and it is They're difficult to express, aren't they? And I mean, FW has this; it's an experience. very different and not something that I would like impacted that thing about it being based
045in the community And I don't know why we have that little tea of of liquid technology because it seems which is more like a community school of the community instead of of technology if I ask about what what what each school attracts not the emphasis of that community school wine from the community when l converted from check we were in another one in another in another generation of technology initiative then Not necessarily They want to remove it, maybe we can Rename. And that, but yes, they want to. incorporating that, meaning they don't want that HE Well, that's just the emphasis on the work. What we do is that community and participation And so the goal is to Continue to see if that's the la la adequate communication but in this They don't want to remove
046that right now, but... We'd better change the name or To combine some other approach? No, that's not it. That's where they are. I mean, some things that that they did and some things that they They've improved, but not as much as expanding. those concepts of the community and Enton isn't urent but ious as the en numbers for year People are are ending into expl I think expl is and How People are to we tend to bring that as part of the enrollment presentation so Yes I've already noted um that Piece and make sure we highlight that metri When it comes Thank you um and I'll Wa for the discussion OK So a couple of things um for I just want to Say that this meeting should probably be two hours and it should probably be
047or maybe like its own meeting like this this portion of it Because I feel like we can go We have Lots of questions about Data we've Had other presentations like on the together program in the past like Where we've gone through and we've looked at the together versus the neighborhood programs and the performance of the students and we have lots of measurable things that we could discuss um that might be part of the conversation for whether Or Not um like Sam Miguel for instance would Ever become an only School um for a couple of things I wanted to say for fairwood um we talked about pack review I mentioned it in my um in my questions in my questions It was more of a question my thought is is that for fairwoods program description I'm
048I'm really concerned that it's focusing on What the parents do that it's a that it's a parent participation School Because When I look through the other answers not even from my question but from other people's questions about fairwood It was like them each Class each classroom does three project-based learning projects per year on average That's extraordinary that is a lot of project bas learning to do they go on One field trip a month. That's extraordinary So these are hands on um different kinds of different experiences Ways of delivering Our curriculum um that we Uh that we're offering at fairwood and It's just not described in saying It's a parent participation and and through the parental participation they get to do all this cool stuff so I I would I would like to See That flipped
049personally and see What theard thinks on that um and then the other thing is about bishop you know we as Board members have gone on like Lots of different um Lots of different excursions and gone to attended conferences about Just How Fantastic arts performing arts schools are and integrating the arts and there's so many different models and ways to do that and I would love to I mean I really hope I mean I'm really hoping that Because I really do believe that fairwood is a project-based learning school and handson learning School I I would really hope that with their auditorium and Just Because of the family engagement that and Because of all the Great things that music does for your Brain and the opportunities That would offer Kids in General I would love that If
050We Had a performing arts School or a School for the arts and my very Last Thing I want to say is I just feel like with vargus um you know the simply Science as a carryover for this year is a great idea but I think Katherine Armstrong only Had one year of that position that Was the assistant or like that partial position Where they were It was someone Who was a teacher Who was the Science teacher for the school and did All the prep and did all that stuff and I think that's what Science is doing I've heard that from Cherry Chase that actually having that program actually encouraged the teachers to kind of shame them into doing more experience experiments themselves in their own room so Got the Kids excited it Got the teachers
051seen that they Do it and so then when they went to the lab the kids were actually getting like multiple doses of Science experience so I think that That's Great but I think to say things like you know Gardens grow at inconvenient Times of year like I think all we need to do is build the infrastructure and you know If We If We would agree to something there's funding resources out there that um like the Ed foundation and other people can apply for but they can only apply for it If the District buys in so I just I'm really hoping that this meeting leads to some concrete commitment from the Board to Support these programs and Way like in financial ways and um you know allowing innovation and experimentation within programs that have already been
052established and to kind of Pick them up a little bit Because I don't think It's really fair to Say that vargus is kind of lagging in the Science areas Because It's just been kind of underfunded we can't have the teachers try to do Everything That's Okay, thank you. And yes We expand this conversation as much as we need to so some of my general comments put them on package Review well. We are all. In Open enrollment so In A Way as I understand people can move from One School to another and we don't have any impacted School right now we Uh we do um I would consider we consider Ellis Cherry Chase Cumberland and middle to have I think we Word extremely limited space The Reason for that As you discussed is that we we're
053not trying to move students around so we're just to um Uh make trying sure that it's a robust program but there's still choice This was about years ago When we opened up the Rest of the schools Prior to that Cherry cumber and SMS were not even on the list but with enrollment weed to Open that up OK So I like the I mean If If I well going to go backward this was my last comment commentary but the one about How When A schol Focus is successful or When we are really successful I I don't think This is I like it Will be the only Reason but it Will be like each of Our schools are so wonderful and are special that If A parent Like each of them Will have the possibility of people
054coming like If a parent put more weight on arts or on Science or Language they Will be able to move and All of them Will be the best Choice Ever for that particular family so that All of them will be On A High standard High Quality that We all Wanted to have for kids so other than the open enrollment I I am really Looking Forward To retake This year the Focus of Science and Hopefully we can give enough funds for Science for for bargas and Yes commit to that program It is I mean we are in silicon valley This is a spectacular opportunity and there are so many Amazing things Where you know my kids have been I've been part of Every museum in in the B Area I've been extremely busy Us driving my
055kids around from One Adventure to the next One Those are the kind of things that We want for Every K and we there are so many possibilities as cor was saying so many State County Parts around with Amazing programs for learning and it shouldn't be Impossible for Us to it out How to do it and you know We have such an Amazing resume already Amazing staff very Smart people who have come up with all these programs that we already have I I bet that We can do something Amazing there I love well we've been Talking About this I think since I came and it wasn't already a new idea but yeah I I do Love the idea of performing arts We all have her over and over what Art do for the brain What music
056do for the brain What how we can have real scientists and mathematicians If They are creative Enough and the way to you know mov moving the muscles of creativity are Of course very good When When we involve arts from the beginning And there are so many programs Close by that we can go and Explore And I think the School the school has told us for a long time I think this is a time wonderful opportunity that we are focusing on the good thing to have these opportunities in which students They can choose their school or they can have a focus program and Well, the fact that the children are Excellent that can be choosing within the education system thus that well when I saw the description of Fawell, I remember every time that many times
057at the table, meaning they don't explain it to us well the reasons and But I think that the reasons, but it doesn't have that much to do with the participation of the My children's parents went to Fairwood and when I I explained to them what it was. Fairwood, I said it was a school full of adventure where students They learned how good it is. adventure and the joy it gives them learning, that is, they learn through of the practical, that is, and there are extra adults in the room that can help the students because if there is no extra support It can be extremely difficult; we have the learning in the gardens too projects of and a very long duration that were made After that we also had programs of learning uh due to the
058fact that we We were asking, how can we do this? different programs that we made that They were excellent. for example, for about four to seven days weeks uh, half was offered time as a passport to another country for learn about the different countries of world we went to others countries in a way We did a figurative dance in a place and other things elsewhere. So that It was a very good experience Nice to think, we also thought about the In science class we made rockets in the classroom And that happened thanks to the parents, I mean It has to do with learning. But It also has to do with experience from the learning and the joy it gives us learning and thinking about how it can be We need these for learning volunteers, which
059helps us a lot to to offer all these opportunities, that is We want to go for example on a walk school every month, I mean all these things They happened because we wondered how we can do I would love this if this could. keep passing by to There are always adventures. Adventures that in which, well, the children have had so many adventures went to a museum of We went to a theater, we went to a museum, and that's another one. type of practical project, that is, they were to the museum and they also did activities practices within the museum also They met the good guide who taught them about the story and it was incredible The students still remember that experience, and that's the type of sleep, that is, the childhood of our dreams we
060want children to have We did folk dancing the science thing, the rockets making wonderful adventures and That's truly how to enjoy education It's a very nice experience that I want Having all the children is a way of measure the success and there are people who think Well I want my children to be musicians or be this and that But I think it's incredible that it is. let's have so many options for children In other words, there were parents who wanted, well, that their children would learn Spanish or that take lots of walks There are autonomous schools that They also attract a lot of community but Our schools are one like one adventure for students and I think that we can begin to Let's talk about whether we're going to move forward. if we can address
061one of the questions that here No, I think the second question is good, but since we have a vision for the strategic plan and we can now do those connections as they go changing the programs But what most What worries me is the overall goal of develop an approach because It will guide us as we determine Where do we want to go next? Me I would like to spend time on this question and a of the general goals that I have towards this process, development is the development of thinking that takes design into account of the programs if we do not take into account Where do we want the student to go and We're only focusing on school primary school, how are we going to do these transitions, that is, how We can ensure that
062the children wear these experiences to their own to their upcoming experiences schools where they go to attend or We need to plan this. How does it go? to affect high schools by For example, I mean, it's not something that happens in the primary school and that it's already ending something that every student, I mean, there is students who can go later to music program in CMS for example e if we obtain additional funding There may be other options perhaps for the future for other students optional courses or we can incorporate another type of model and And in fact there's an art exhibition that was done once that It was where they do it all over the library that I think for those schools Together we saw that as they move on to the High school,
063the first year was a There were a few minor problems, though the only good thing was that there were some problems. And some problems at high school too But that was the first program. Well, I was going to continue on to school secondary school and beyond, so well the recruitment of schools of the high school, uh, from the high schools, I mean give more opportunities to children who They are interested in music because For example, one of the goals I believe what should we do it's about bringing more opportunities to children who Otherwise, they won't necessarily to have those music and art classes theater the students the parents don't They are taking all the museums weeks so I think it would be a excellent part of the goal, for example I spoke with a mother
064from Cherry Chase She said we can make Cherry Chase Let's make it a school for the arts. Yeah, and well, I don't think it's necessary I was trying to do that here. Well, I was thinking is that Bishop has this community that It would mean, we could do so many things related to the arts culture, of course, could already have one after-school music program but there are many components that What I'm hearing is that... We want to support Bishop in his upcoming steps we want to support Vargas so that can develop further continue its science program and strengthen And that leaves us with... Well, that leaves us... So, we need these. And we have these. programs such strong in every school. This is something that either whether it's when students begin to attending another school
065what happens in the Another school of thought is that, well, it's going to affect what they have already learned in elementary school So if the students are building a community school that It's going to have different services, that's it. what we want Perhaps the best place for the students But that's really what we want to do in each school there is one We want you to have a philosophy that attracts more students Yes, that's my opinion. But I I would say that the first thing it offers is a opportunity for participation community That's the first job in In my opinion, all our schools What I think is true is new. But well, it's possible they're not there I agree, but I think most of Families prefer that schools neighborhood reach their needs So and part
066of this, that is, the reason why which we are where we are in this This is the moment because we have this We all have this track record schools, and we must also consider that We're talking about the years after So we finally arrived at a COVID at which point the staff students and the others are ready for the next step They rejected the idea of having a program of tangerine at some point if I I was there and the reason why They said that's Because that's wonderful, we're not... against linguistic languages O whether or not that kind of language existed We're going to choose that language because... serves the needs of the community Returning to that same concept is another The challenge as a District is that we need There is indeed a need
067in the district that It doesn't fit well with what is being Doing good is something we need take in I think the leaders... Elis's predecessors had said that Well, we're not a program. It's optional, we're just a school Regular but a very good school We are very proud that we are a We are a neighborhood school neighborhood and well is a model of that It's really useful to the neighbors. who live near the school No I understand what you're saying because It seems like he's saying that well, no We want to. So no. We have enough hope, I As a mother, I am aware constantly that the committee of Parents face challenges It's difficult. because people who decide to go to lakwood They usually go because they live nearby or because they... I like school,
068what that usually means It means that they don't have time for participate in the same way as the other students So it is required a lot of effort so that do very basic things that others Schools do it without a problem I can't say Something I think is very important and Something we're working on at Bishop That's why we've been By focusing on the community, we don't want emphasize that the parents' committee is the only way in which in which Parents can really participate We want them to participate with the children. with their own children, that is, we want give them the resources they need and to teach your students so that can focus on being the best parents, how can they do it? The parents' committee is wonderful, I mean It's good that we
069have these committees, huh? For several reasons it is important that These committees exist, but we want think What is the definition of Parental involvement. That is, there is different ways to participate and We have a responsibility to cultivate the interest of the parents and their ability to participate and support their students So we want to ensure that families and students are achieving everything that They need and have access to the resources that I think they need it in the committees Well, there are many gaps in parents, I mean. as to the financing the supplies of schools walks School committees are a great help. Parents are important for closing those chapters. gaps So I think it's important. That is, not only to do events such as walks community or other events with the community but are
070those others things that end The program in general. So yes I appreciate that there are several ways in which that parents can participate by for example, doing volunteer work in the classrooms but understand I understand what is what he's saying for me, I don't I want to tell you that you have to... to build a community school and also You have to do something else because I I think Well, I think that's what I want For him, it is that he makes a commitment to have a technology school or No, I think that other schools do These are the school trips my son took school trip only last year because there was no funding for the buses to take all the children on the walks So as District we want students to be able to
071Having those opportunities to go for walks. And yes. It is true that there are different ways of participate but two years ago we had under 3000 had said 300000 but didn't want to to say that it had less than 000 as a committee of parents in He did say less than 300,000,000, but no I meant less than 3,000. But I didn't. I think it's fair to ask the staff to support closing the gaps that no longer The other schools have it, it's not fair There are equity models for the funding of the committees parents, but it's difficult to close all those gaps and in schools like It's very difficult, from what I understand He is taking his time to accept the concept of the schools community and over time they will return more to the
072technology and well, they need to find grants not like community school It's difficult in this That's where we want to go right now. I hope that Let's know that there may be some extra effects I think so too. about the Technology can be very difficult, and the other thing is that last year or right after the pandemic we were talking about the program of languages and one of the things It was said that there were too many of us. too young to think about languages And well, there was that question of what good requires a lot approach to make it work as community as a school community once we get to where we want to be we can talk about what we should do to define what needs to be done if yes they want
073focus on being a school of technology or They can do something else too. late or good depends, doesn't it? of the approach they want I think the program really I didn't have how So much movement, no, and with the time Well [Music] They really need to find solutions. for the problem and once the student needs through as a community school then they will have the opportunity to to have the ability to focus on what another yes also yes Could start next year when already They reached the point of becoming a school What is it that they want from the community? Not what? That's what they want represent a school community. That is, yes, there are some like that. topics that give that impression. So I want to assure you that this is not the case.
074is improving the attributes that go within that community it's not something negative in absolute, meaning it has benefits exceptional and they succeed, and that's something that that attracts then no more no more I want that know that maybe this could be a for another night but I would like Seeing the staff's opinion isn't always accurate. We don't have time for this. now but if I I would like to know the perspective of staff at each school, if I too or rather collaboration between schools idea of programs together the last time we received a new thing that students in the program Together they are in the average range. average slightly below until They reached third and fourth grade and then... From there they already have control and it's already much higher that the community school and
075that is where F wants to end When there was only one So, a class is like that one. class there is no possibility of mixing behavioral problems no no no no us we carry Okay, so we'll be 15 on the fifth. degree Then there is none opportunity to dealing with the problems when changing it Then another problem is if together like you would have or be some kind of together in kindergarten in other schools No, the program hasn't had that much success in Regarding the exams in the results What? Is there availability or what? They have opportunities to extend this program, I mean, like something more, more, more of one more in one school, I do believe that We can better return in some months to see the state of and let's see how it
076goes, I mean Are you going to see if the science program... It's working. Maybe we can to have a second part, a continuation from all of this, from this conversation, to see what possibilities. In other words, what is the How? And if we finish the Why and the What, how How are we going to do it? I mean, what is the... the wishes of the schools What is your vision if we can give it to you? money, not for example or I know what it is they want in every each Yes, because school They already feel like they're very fully committed to the community, its students, and with that program that I helped start. Then I got That was that subsidy and it was very bad. But with this money we were able to fix
077the garden Then I would like to see them or whether it be plants or fruits and vegetables do not grow tomatoes and etc. so that the students know I saw the food, not asparagus or tomatoes. I helped with this and I'd like to see more than that, a garden in person if we go to convince them to support this school Something needs to be done in the community. and it could also be part of their comments No. So when I already go through the and I ask them what they want No, I mean, another Spanish program just like it. like together O Tagalog. So I investigated it. There's not much of a resume for that. But that's what I've Heard. Thanks for that. It's going to take a rest the 7:36 we start again at
0787:45 Then Okay, we'll continue in 10 minutes and then we continue to the to the to [Music] Dan [Music] It's already 7:45 [Music] we move on to topic cu comments from the table and the Superintendent, as always, we will begin with a very busy time was exciting to collaborate with different districts I'm looking forward to school. some of their votes of support did not uh one e for individual candidates then too Thank you, let's go talk about some special things later No especially since it's LGBTQ History Month Plus in October And when my son was little, if he He loved unicorns and such. And it's It's difficult to define children's clothing that It has unicorns and it was like F, her dress, and wanted to take it to The school then spoke to me with
079her teacher that my son is going to take a dressed for school and told me that he is Well, me too. And I loved how relaxed it was. I'm relaxed and I love that the teachers that's how they are They go totally with the wave, not with the students and I like that Sony is one of them. One is a place where the Children can do that It was seen there is one research in What are the suicide rates today? Stop children in places where there are laws against transsexuals have tripled, so it gives me I'm glad to be part of a district that does I support all of this, I want to remind everyone. There a Black Walk for the proposal and in Cherry Chase and the others advisors the government survey for its
080priorities are responding for their own perspective and in the minutes as well They're going to see different things. not about registration activity for the dinner Autumn is already here open and the two primary schools secondary schools are going to play together.

The morning should be, or rather, a meeting That's because it's accessible to everyone. It's already a challenge; ideally it would be the 6

089is no motion to approve the topic of approval I I propose approving it a second time. Yes, I do. Second, everyone in favor, say I know how to approve approval topics and we move on to nine presentations, one update staffing and Hiring is here to tell us the New items. Oh, good evening to the audience. We are here to present current annual and here it is with me sea also human resources director So today we're going to talk about phenomenal work that our human resources department are such as talent management and we need to hire and retain talent that aligns with the strategic plan It's the same as last year, not with the rest of the district and we are demonstrating This will help, and we'll see how we can take advantage of resources and
090adjust the the incorporation that those goals and also adjust those questions to really align with the The strategic plan is ongoing and just when we started with the cycle 25 hiring 26 So first I just wanted to give them show them the faces of the department of human resources when we talk about a We do a little bit of work, but also They have restructured our program and to have it more and a new area area is It is workers' compensation and low work hours to prevent injuries to prevent those widespread absences So it's a staff member Fantastic! You see, to update about the acronym 24 25 from July 1st until week last time we hired We hired 71 certified employees classified employees including 15 Internal promotions and employees of Management is... I mean, a
091lot staff hired very quickly then there is a lot of work lack So the staffing is like We see the entire workforce then individuals is the number of humans and That FTE is 8 hours. For example, classified personnel there are 3091 that with that of a work cycle Those 4 hours afternoon assistants if they qualify as classified but independent this picture also that The table reminded us of the demographics of district we want to compare against the city of c and the community we serve students and also demographics of our staff then there is the 2022 census of the city of Civel So what is the census? Federal does not consider it as a subgroup But we do. I also have employees from the District Schoolchildren are self-identify yes I want animals that, I mean,
092we don't want to get to certain to none proportion d s each each thing always each The area is always changing then We'll never be able to align it. And I know the table that... So the staff is interested. very broad category. So we already have the demographics of classified personnel certificate That's a little more... aligned, this is no more, that is, the data that we would like teach them then theory to acquire talent, that is, We have a lot of reach but we have specify it and specify it to our community if there are different events of hiring Frontline and we want many volunteers but also something very It's common that we go to different meetings of PTA parent organizations and also the partners community to staff and our goal It's about encouraging those
093people to perhaps Try it a little if you're not very sure whether they want to work or not in The district, uh, there's a way we offer one way they can get in, uh We also have some in a mild way. substitutes or if there are no others who are going to classified or certified positions We also have other positions available. uh, staff members who are in ranked positions and we also have certified positions that then change to a ranked position and we also have deadlines for management. So that is the main theory about the talent acquisition eh To professionalize the profession is a term we use to provide those pathways to vocational training eh So that there are jobs in education public are a viable option for There aren't many women who are professionals
094in the field. grants, many opportunities that There is within the County that is providing the county to obtain credentials the university degree programs with scholarships and programs are also available for them to enter men who are people of color to this profession, uh, we want the employees be aware of these opportunities and that they can access these opportunities also to improve their profession no, and the opportunities they have within their profession there are also programs within the communities community colleges that can supporting the professions by promoting higher education and we can also provide opportunities within our organization And for promotions, for example, I mean the path to teaching, for example which offers up to $4,000 a year towards the enrollment in a credentialing program as a teacher so that they can have credentials as teachers
095there are people who are updating that They are currently teaching that they formed part of that program previously We also have positions for the classified managers, that is, we need We have to create. We try to create paths. within the organization also what What we do is provide the time and the space for our staff may have more opportunities to to be part of the opportunities of vocational training in the We also focus on that in our teaching development for parents and also other classified personnel members and we are also preparing so that Let's be ready for the first day of We also always need classes update our descriptions jobs we have available over time, that's something that we always take in I wanted to take a moment to talk about the support during the
096summer for employees classified several years ago the cssp Well, he started offering, it's basically Free money for employees with Mucho gusto is a service that We do not provide all members of The county is participating, but it's a collaboration we have with CSSA with our members and There are 90 million dollars subsidized for this program for to benefit the employees of that They work for 10 to 11 months, so no They work every month of the year so that can have a stipend we we give an amount that corresponds to the amount they earn according to the number of applicants that we have, we divide it by the amount of money we have and that's how it's determined The maximum amount they can earn for that Two years ago it was 69 cents a year
097previous or next year We project that it will be a few 64 cents and Well, at the same time there are There are limits, there is a limit of $62,000 as annual salary. So that's why That's because we're in a place where It's very expensive to live, and we want to offer This opportunity for employees who They only earn up to 62 million dollars millions of thousands of dollars And some, well, we know. that this amount changes slightly each damage depending on the funding that It exists, but we want everyone to be able to. Employees should know about this opportunity. There are some employees who, when they are increases the salary they no longer have eligibility for this other program Another thing we wanted to mention about Last year's geographical distribution of our staff is
098not a graph For earthquakes. Excuse me for being like this. go and it wasn't the intention but we decided to divide the Bay Area in three sectors the zero sector one of 1 to 10 miles Cupertino Los Altos Mountain View Santa Clara and as you can see They are making it bigger and bigger as it gets further from Saint and Knowing what they were already going to We asked, we divided it by classification eh certified classified personnel the management and lunchtime attendees We say midday because sometimes it's not They work all day So, well, '94 lives in Sel. two individuals who live outside When Come on, I mean, but we do want to mention that when we use the information in the human resources system is the postal address So there is a individual who
099lives in Sacramento But I I don't think they all come from Sacramento The days like that, well, there can be some aspects that are different but 60 percent of our staff classified lives within 10 mi of the office and 97% of the attendees They live in the area Zero. So it's something we're going to continue. monitoring and I know there were some questions about retention and We are definitely trying to working with collaborators and we are definitely trying to think creatively especially as we work with the alliance of Special Education and the alliance forum part of the table but I forgot the name for a moment But again, it's just one aspect regional that we are always trying to take into account the opportunities that Maribet may be going to speak now and just to
100return to those efforts that are changing a little some of the things we are doing so that everything we are making it correspond with the plan strategic and aligned with our values We updated our process to hiring and we are in the process of gather the questions again to We want to do the interviews questions in a way that if We also want to increase our visibility within the neighborhoods and maximize opportunities to recruitment, for example, uh, there is one job fair for certified employment We have the services fair community classified fair of We told you we did another fair that we're going to... I'll comment in a few moments and also to maximize our use of our resources opportunities with our collaborators interviews and practice with Stanford we have a collaboration also with Stanford
101State to help them establish practice interviews for the applicants, which is excellent for the applicants and it is also a opportunity to recruit talent These are some of the new efforts what do we do in the We also held a recruitment fair May 31st, regarding the jobs The classifieds were a great success. So If in recruitment we focus on the people who live locally We saw about 60 people. They also saw them next door. employees we already have made some referrals and we also place Information in public places only for that people would find out that we have We also offer available positions support for people who wish submit an application in person and We also have support for those who They want to present it online, so We did want them to come in
102and apply. position and after we retain the talent you need So the results are our base goal of the efforts we made Previously it was if we could We have a goal of having 50 attendees. and 10 people to hire Y We currently have the goal of having 65 in order to hire 50 good people it was a Success and thanks to him for leading the team and for supporting us as a team and for processing to all those people we have hired. And if they wanted We have a report of 12 receipts pages of the actions we took and I I want to acknowledge our collaborators and I hope we can continue talking well these organizations They have done a very good job. to represent its members So There are always better ways to
103serve the needs of our employees With that we conclude the presentation and I'd be happy to answer any questions. any questions you may have. Thank you beforehand. continue to the questions of I want to thank the public for... explain Show Yes all the work that have we done any comments on the community time to raise the Hey, we have a comment. Well, we don't have anything pending. We have any feedback on the table a I've been to so many meetings that Sometimes we know when there are questions or not because we know that if there were one ask Okay, well, a few moments ago, a few months Well, I just wanted to say thanks or be the questions they asked a few how many meetings did they record questions And they decided that well it
104is a good time to present the results. So I am very grateful for your Note the fact that they have compiled This information so that they can present it tonight And yes, since everything has been done in a yes way quite consistent and able to hire 50 people in a single day is incredible So congratulations I really liked the layout. One of my geographical friends was hired during a fair recruitment So if it was Yes, it is very important to have that kind of events we should record you perhaps for a video of recruitment just wanted quickly to mention that, that is, they mentioned the number of people who They hired me and I want all that I want to highlight. think about the fact that each member of the staff who work this effort
105is an incredible amount of work and with the vision of teachers, so there's going to be a line with Students will be able to open the door and see the results and the success of work they do, so I think... For example, a month ago I I was walking past the person who It helps us with the benefits that We've been at it for a long time. She always makes sure that everyone benefits are being made in a adequate and good is doing a incredible and fantastic work! So We've been talking a lot. about the I really liked the houses then. See how many people are traveling to get to the office I work every day and in particular the people who come from Santa Cruz Boulder Creek Some are not that far but they
106are It takes a long time to get there. that maybe one day we can do a survey for travelers both to reach the office or workplace we must Perhaps conduct a survey to see if... Our employees are interested in... housing for We did it personally about two years the group that is working to develop those housing the district already had collaborated a little, we were talking about I think it's time to We've been trying for about 3 years now. The last survey we conducted, we want Conduct another survey to see if it's anything that interests the members of We don't know how difficult it is, personally. It's like owning a house around here So yes, also find a rental affordable is difficult, I appreciate it There's a lot to say about the data. Demographics Because
107we want to create more inclusive and welcoming spaces and We want our spaces to reflect to our students. So I am grateful much attention has been paid to the The demographic information too because that's very important for We do, because the theory is that We want our community to reflect our community so that it can serve Doing better for our community is difficult Saying it like that is because there are a lot of words. but that's what we want Thank you, we can continue. with a review of the em 10 Let's see if we can adopt the proposal to support the measure proposal There is a proposal on November 5th to build a library new one that actually works well correspond very well with the center Leen neighborhood learning requires a two-thirds vote and it
108would not affect taxes because plot but the city thinks it's very important and in In reality, we only need to offer our perspective on the proposals that They have to do with education And I mean, I can't think of efforts that They correspond better with the efforts that with our approaches Here and the nu is related, it's not another The topic: B, A, and B have nothing in it. We have a common thing to see in each other. Any comments from the community before? of We have a motion to continue In order to discuss this topic, I do a motion to approve support for the proposal and Do we have any comments from the table? We are not ready to vote for those who want approve this point of It does seem that everyone is
109in favor. We made a decision to approve the proposal and now we will continue with the 10b nomination and a vote, a call for nominations for the Hispanic and Asian directors ISOs of Pacific for the CSBA I'm not that familiar but they are asking nominations for Hispanics and Pacific Islanders and Asians for the CSBA, we have what's going to happen inside of the process any School District can nominate members of its own boards of directors or if not members of other tables to consider possibility of them participating what I I propose, and we can begin the discussion after I make the proposal. that I want to nominate myself for the Hispanics and I've already been nominated by others associations also for the assembly and also I propose supporting Silvia Lion of She's going to vote
110so that we can return to name We have that you work at your school any comments on the community yes We don't have a motion before that Let's start talking about this The topic I'm discussing, you made a motion I want to second Silvia wishes comments Silvia can talk if she wants to. to follow happens every 2 It happens every two years I don't think they've done it in years. last meeting I texted him and he said that Yes, that would be very much in the past. Well, I think it's been 2 years Uh, elections are held every two years, right? You have to be a delegate to run for office These are very competitive positions at the level State officials are appointed to the board of directors uh at the board meeting of There
111are about three or four directors. meetings per year that are held every quarter I think it would be excellent in case someone at our table had level of discussion about the policies in CS csba so that's great, I'm excited and I think Silvia has done a good job wonderful so far she has really supported the students some comment, or how we want to present the package to the delegates to validate and create interest because there are people from all over the state who are going to vote but whom they don't know well to the candidates or I think she was nominated too in Southern California and said it would be Excellent, if someone from my county... support Isabel If there are no comments Additionally, we can vote good favor, it's approved a lot Thank you,
112and now let's continue. number 11 revision and discussion 11 a modernization director of Very good facilities for everyone members of the table I am Brent Director of Facilities and Operations I have the pleasure of providing updates on this level mir about this This project doesn't happen very often that I can to have this smile when I'm talking But yes, this is the moment, I'm happy because on August 29th we formed a committee our first committee meeting We arrived early, organized everything, and We had all the design plans in the table 15 minutes before it started the table she Maxwell mine and Justin came to They immediately appeared in the hall They started checking the Well, when I say they were designs Looking at them, I mean, they were They immediately began talking about logistics, architecture,
113Engineering began to ask questions about this, how it works, and what code we can apply to buildings This was one of the most memorable experiences. sincere and exciting moments I've had I have held this position And he confirmed to us why the why we I love doing what we do was a phenomenal experience That's great! In April we presented the report to the board an update to the board of directors During that report we shared information about a summary of the funding that we have for the proposal c eh we provide a lot specific information about sbel medo the two-story project we have Ah the approach we had as a table in that So in the end we reviewed everything We developed a budget for this work. We presented the budget and we wanted develop
114the budget of 55 millions of dollars since then Okay, let's continue with the proposal process to find an architect who could help us maximize time during the summer to focus on this project in June, we started working with the Pon team with emphasis on working in the review of eh och a 12 options of We sent about 100 emails for the design. electronics and we spend many hours with Eren's team and the staff of Sunell and finally at the end of summer We are proud to present three final design options for the committee options two and three have their root in investigations that correspond with our plan strategic, we were so proud of to present at this meeting on the 29th In August I mentioned the investigations that We did it and one of the
115things we want maintain and in which we want Focusing is about using responsibly the taxes they have paid, we want Investing in the campus not only to not today but to be able to have shares of Students from here in 30 years too we wanted to focus on how it corresponds With this year's strategic plan we have two goals: to reduce absenteeism chronic to improve the performance of students we collect research that we conducted We wanted to make sure that let's be investing the money in classrooms that We have it based on taxes. We want to maximize the experience. educational for our students We want to invest in classrooms and support our community develop a school grounds that may be located here here for decades to come Well, I mentioned that we have contributed the
116On August 29th we showed the three eh final designs, we make sure that we would have representation of teachers from each school grade and also of the administrators had representation uh of the people who teach classes optional for parents who are members of the communities and all the suggestions that They gave us We took that into account and returned to our offices and after a few How many more meetings? We developed the option that also included everything else in one option that We have a great pride in... I do want to share today. mention that when final we go to be able to hear any question that have, but again I want to say that We are very proud of what we are presenting tonight Thank you so much for having me Here tonight, it's
117an honor to present... that we've been at it for months We started working with these goals of we wanted to plan evaluate many options always what we want Knowing how we maximize impact educational per dollar that We spend. We want to hear the perspectives of others when do That's always our approach and We want to focus on those five areas What you see there, we know we need adjust the buildings already existing ones we want to ensure that we are maximizing the impact, that is We need to make sure that we have it. enough We want to improve the entrance and the sense of community So that's what We wanted to address all the options and also improve the space exterior between the classes no talking with the team and the quality of those from
118those places and also the difficulties not of those corridors between We want to improve that in the buildings and How can we build That, and also what it would be like to study during that construction then for each one then We have a lot of experience with this and with Our structural engineer is similar to the school of There are several projects on Hoster. and we are very familiar with this too There is the state of California It regulates and approves this, and there is security. of very earthquakes Seriously then, we want to think about So how do they handle these projects? It gives us two options slight modernization that would be has renewed these and is recommending some systems And that's what it includes. Those will also include renewal of updates improving the systems
119or be adding to conditioner. And that's it, I mean, fixing. what is broken and not well change the character of those spaces and the cost would be less than 50% of the replacement cost and then it's already the serious not total modernization full update and We have to comply with the The code tests each of each material and that is, we have to test it in each step what It means with our experiences essentially involve removing and divide the buildings and then put it put them back together and fix them again then lots of renovations and many things that we can continue But this would cost 80-99% of the cost There are three in total. options Then this starting with the master plan that is modernization all understanding that we have to We will balance
120the most serious and the mildest building one and in each option for building we show Where there is the office open it and make it like a hallway open and have as a shadow then they're going to see those like that rectangle also building B to enlarge the library best spaces educational and also building d and then building F a great modernization will be two steps So there are two. Lu's gym has different buildings. a modernization slight that that building was not built as a school building. So there is already one. dealing with that That's all there is to it. modernization And that continues with the same rooms that is 1 students option two What if We would remove buildings BC and D and put a a new two-story building and then a new one-story
121library with and then I would also have a new one locker room This opens more space, or rather, too much space too much open and thinking about that and also the opportunities for two-story buildings floors and then third option O Let it be edition A and it would be two replace the buildings with a new one administrative building and then similar salons too then Yeah We would have, I mean, if there would be space for add more rooms also There are fewer rooms, like 43, which would be a little more no less study, fewer classrooms, but dealing with with and also There is a committee that has very good meetings. be a board very, very involved with with students especially in the last years then, very good comments from Their favorite part is that a
122The student said that they wanted to be a architect architect and now says I want to be an astrophysicist then So, if you have your own designs So, a lot of good comments, something. What's important to understand is how to use it space for education physical multipurpose room How to use this How to We didn't quite understand what he will use in the future. well before that meeting and also talking about the capacity number of halls and And that a little square to give us, or rather, an idea of priorities and what is most We identified important different parts and then people already... ranked by priority by cost and then the effects It also gives us an idea of what is more important and that will have the best impact Then the halls then the
123Modernizing classrooms, that's one thing the changing rooms too multipurpose and then things that aren't so important administrative The entrance to the center is also very important No, I wouldn't love to have everything. but we must understand described we think of how We thought about this in a different way, and that's it. We have option four which is a building With less investment, that would be something more slightly more administrative and do some modifications but still add that new entry and one with that plaza and then with a building two floors of 10 classes and then, that is, the primary use for the room multipurpose is like physical education most of the time but there could be There are other things we would like do one thing It would be instead of having that room expand
124it that has some We had difficulties when we came up with the idea of having a new building that would have new kitchen new multipurpose room and a new library too, or something more small and the necessary space and such and It seems there will be enough. space and also There would be more bathrooms and rooms administrative also, that is, of area Covered Already come, I mean the pace of the students and such and entering the square main So there's more space to have an educational space physics and then Having the wardrobe then no We are building a new building, no. further renewing the current ones and We can remove no more old buildings Then focus the funding on the halls and others, that is, cooking AND either that or be it the trash some
125many things Logistics, we can build that and to maintain it, that is, to have a kitchen Temporary isn't ideal. So there's already... some advantages Logistics, that's why, that's why We talked about it a lot So they are key points, there is one, one music class. And that was like something in and improve and expand that set space and that gives 45 more rooms to the gym, which would be a little over 12 And those living room spaces electives and comply with all the needs Then we all talked about it several times. They supported it, we made some adjustments According to the comments, we're already here. continuing with this Option Enton some inspirations that let's talk Some schools that are good examples Something similar those a primary school in something big open in the middle It's
126your Plaza main but it has those So it's divided into different small groups of Students can gather at Lu school secondary and different areas to organize spaces for to count and then there and the library has a also an example with a lot of flexibility explore opportunities in that room many uses and the library to have more flexibility, and so those would be things that Let's explore that further is the capacity in general, that is, the number of then things went in favor of the salons All the rooms will be new construction and that will improve that environment of Learning and a lot of equity. Because everyone the halls They will be like students of different degrees, we are talking about the kitchen also food class Filid los negativas es nueva Phase one construction will
127take a just a little more than starting to receive the approval So it would start at the end of 2025 but We can now begin the demolition. a little before And all this already comes with its approval, or any approval two a building of two of two rooms It's still a bit far from the neighbors of their houses there are There's a lot of land, a lot of terrain between there. between that but there is still a long way to go between Those houses and buildings then We're fine. That's all that needs to be communicated. When are we going to communicate this to the neighbors and anticipated the impact of the Sun and the cell phone reception and there's no Impact further sunset. So that's not going to be a impact of a lot of
128construction And there will be communication with the community along the schedule not the calendar phase one would be new classes and/or Whether it's autumn or the approval and then the Construction until autumn 25 winter 26 and then phase two modernization and the squares Thank you for that presentation first. any member of the public who wishes Commenting on this topic now is the moment There is no emotion in this, it's no more discussion already We can handle the comments and questions. and thank you for the Introduction Who wants to start the other question We have a profile of plants ecologically appropriate that we can be we cannot start 10 years for the shadow Yes, we are going to select the plants. to Let's look at the examples for the selection of the plants and everything, and
129that's always a We want balance, that concern. We want that balance. select something regionally appropriate that they will not require a lot lots and lots of water, and also the size, that is, the bigger the tree The more it costs So we want to put on the best white I might allow more, but we'll get to that. to decide, that is, It is, and that will be decided later. during the process s I'm going Well, I have some very important questions. [Music] we'll be here specifically Then there's no need to do all of your This question night session 4 My first question There are now 50 classrooms [Music] I don't know the current one, but based on that... The existing one would be like Option 45 was like 52 digits, I remember some time ago
130years then already lower it c but yes I trust the staff I mean, when he talks about investigations or We use demographics projections and we also have, that is, of The new students. And if there were already... more students So the first specific thing with that space of Lunch, first thing, is good, yes, it's very... good to the sixth grade students very long AND Then I said that they were going to have to walking so much So it's not much, I mean, it's There has been some discussion about the logistics of walking to the bottom of the school to receive is very if we can do something So, but we're going to get into that more, but no What we've done is very, very much one diagram still and then also, I mean, those photos
131I mean, I love the light I know we're not a school, of course. high school but having those and the current library There is none window or any light natural And if you're good for so many reasons another thing logistics and of course things can change but the dances and such is the gym But the dance will be in the gym and then it has activities or food with this this that that room of of The exercise would have the same meaning if to have as something that can be divided the two spaces then you can use part and with excess and another not with excess if not more thinking about my own children and things asked for the things that They asked for everything and last that's when I see those very small shadows
132for that space big then is a big concern Having enough shade because students gather in the Yes, that's a concern when... shadow When I initially saw it, there was no enough shade if we're going to analyze In addition to that, then if we are going to seeing the trees and shadows the same that we did for the new building in 10 years and what is it? How much shade is needed? and how much shade do they provide buildings and We want it to be like a space divided instead of plus one open because create different spaces within a Tell me more about this space of the shadow that is in Morgan H very These small trees have already grown and Everything seems fine, but there's nothing. a lot shadow the same concern The climate will
133also change in 10 years. something to consider and have something very have something in counts because it's always in They're artificial turf and that's what We like to do it because... But those are the conversations that We're going to continue having it. But that remains the case. Working. It works very well. Students love being able to lie down and be The existing trees will be able to do that if We're going to save all the Possible, but we don't know yet. Yes, that's the main square, not the plaza. main original there is very large trees already and the students Yes, they sit down If we can store them underneath, that's something. What are we going to do? We don't know yet, but already We'll see, I also went to that school. so and that is,
134always of It's a study, all my children were there too in the old halls the halls ancient that's still the administrative room It's still in room I want to repeat that I talked a lot with others people to make school more ecological Then Although there is a count, there are to see how we can improve it, right? I mean something ecological or recyclable materials and it's the visual aspect to the students not for sustainability and environmentalism and all that then has to do the learning and the intention of this more Of course, if I have a question There will be music like this or space to act or no more they can That's something that we want to talk about as a space for outdoor updates and let's see That's the intention, but we still
135need to to design it a little, that is, to have one outdoor practice and also activity performance that is a little far from the halls and for the choir Also, in other words, it needs to be done more. ecological but I also like a very space It's big and you can do both too It can be open with many people together. but also already with different surfaces and plants for [Music] divide it and wanted ask him about the bathrooms I want to ask is about the We have bathrooms according to the plan strategic every time we have a A group of parents ask about the bathrooms so We also have the checkbox for men and women, we have some children of gender no So, where are they located? gender non-conforming children's bathrooms and Where are
136the public restrooms and we are including in this plan in what we can say is like the union for the Students, we have many years to... I mean the staff for the students and we still haven't divided the bathrooms according to the themes of gender security we have started to talk of the strategies we can use that We are already using it in several more schools We can come back and talk more in detail about those aspects and talk with students also and return with some shares and it same for the places to dress, that is, for example of places that have neutrality gender where children can get dressed after the gym and then If we're going to be sports, we want to have a balance in terms of security privacy, monitoring, and we want
137that everyone should be as comfortable as possible, however they can be. possible, for example, students Group A members normally use the restrooms that are inside of the changing rooms and There were also some students who They used the bathroom near where the There are some music rooms portable buildings too that was there and there will also be one library to be used as bathrooms for the [Music] students and because it will be right in he center of Campus and thus the students They can access them easily I think that They removed it because there was always a bathroom. who always had problems with the drain, I think we're not going to do it anymore to have and as for the culinary aa of kitchen is thinking, that is, the new heaven is of a floor
138that's going to design, so it's going to be a hall of food and nutrition Definitely, but I think so too. we want to make sure that enough We want it to be a flexible classroom for uh the optional courses and we know that the cooking class Yes, it works well, but we need you to... also have the flexibility to be can use in different ways because you can teach several things in the same room By For example, there are stoves and there are I don't know how they have a machine like that several things in there and it requires A lot of energy. Also, if there is a lot. infrastructure in terms of electricity that we need to take in I'm very Excited, and well, let's start tomorrow! I have two to build it. I
139like the questions I love the idea! the ideas one inspiration and me Wouldn't it be amazing if we could according to that when I see that part in it center I I know we need to think about the buildings of three floors and we need It seems that there are certain parts that are very big other thing, that is, where we are currently not what enough we need to take into account the mandatory measurements too, so we won't be able to We necessarily need to use these spaces in a way We need flexible structures permanent also anything we can establish so that it is cleaner so there's space, let's say because the other is that there will be a space of only one no, we are going to divide the floor into half are spaces
140larger than can divide with a 10-foot ceiling by an example we can use for things like what we saw in the images that you already He mentioned it and I think we can to make sure that well I don't know if You surely know better, I don't know. how are the others handling it? districts that Wouldn't it be excellent if we could have a gender-neutral bathroom if We are working with several schools and We have some strategies that will work so well that we can't give So many details today, but we'll talk about it. little with the team Yes, and it's one of the first ones we have. In design, it's about determining how that is done. It will provide examples of how to... I'm going to check if my son went to the bedroom
141at the University of California, Santa Cross and there's a building completely new and each floor has single-gender rooms but in The floor and bathrooms are all shared. gender neutrality showers They have everything inside the main bathroom. It has complete neutrality of gender Yes, that's what I think it is. I want to know if it's different because they are Children are studying at university No, that's not different, they have another one age and the other thing is that there is no space between the different floors of the building new that was and we need windows a sufficient number of windows and also natural light the most It may seem that there is an opportunity perfect to have more windows best natural lighting And if we can, of course, lower the temperature in a way natural probably
142I don't know if we're going to We're going to need a few years to be able to have more trees big, but how are those buildings going to to be if the buildings, or rather the shadow It's going to come from the trees and the music building, the area of The music would be excellent. to have an outdoor space for the grand ceremonies and the concerts and the classroom We are currently expanding the program of music and we are talking about the possibility of bringing elementary school children and do a new music program so it's It's great to have an area where they can to practice, that is, we can have some private rooms But it depends, I mean, what we have. No. Not necessarily now. Not necessarily. It works for the music program. But
143Well, with this new building, yes, it will to be an improvement huge good the temperature of the green space the structure and if the neutrality of gender in the bathrooms with those details Yes I believe that we are only confirming that Yes, one more thing that several teachers Well, they always ask for more. outdoor seating for the outdoor space and I don't know if there is some options some furniture that we can have outdoors or make sure that it is the people with whom we spoke about the bathrooms possibly with gender neutrality I know there is an alliance of Hey eh gender alliance gender equality Ah, I think so, if they can make one collaboration with the parents' alliance also with LGBT community students I think we can have classrooms flexible if we consider the
144fact that We now base our work on the buildings of There are many universities that They were built in the year 1800 1900 there are doors that can be seen These spaces otherwise if We thought about how to create a better one a ventilation that works better uses makes more than making more use of the elements natural Yes Definitely a little thing. I mean, the main entrance the space that is in The main entrance is going to be a space open We would remove the good one. the windows and doors so that it is an open space essentially goes to There should be a fence there too, so that... If possible, we can enter from below. the structure and register in the The office will have more access to power so that there are more
145spaces for space for students to I think that's how it was established. at first school and at some I don't know, something has changed. Going back a bit to some aspects of plan original and when will it return with Those plans to the I think that next time we'll be at the table. We'll talk when we hire. Let's find a contractor who is scheduled for the meeting on the 12th January is going to be a good time to I'll talk about it more I think the contractor the contractor before That is, they are going to do the whole process with the contractor, that is, we think we should continue with the process that we have already begun I believe that the doctor has established that Gallager sometime between now and December, if we can talk
146a little. I can give you an idea of what we have Before speaking meeting went very well Thank you so much, you're welcome. pleasures are the 9:25 So we definitely need Okay, we need to do a... approve approval for half an hour and what we cannot address in this We can hold the meeting at the next one. I'm holding a meeting motion to extend from 99:30 until all those who are in favor if they can confirm s then we can extend the meeting Until the 10 and we'll continue with item 11b, that is, review and discussion of the policy against the discrimination in programs and activities of district everything is related directly or indirectly with the changes that occurred based on New title nine So like everything This is based on those principles and I
147can vote in favor of each of these elements and that them That seems good. Because that works. Well, everyone except him. And that means that the matters from a to H just wanted to give some context about those elements and what we are going to do is that We'll wait with our questions and the comments until we get to the 11:00 AM and then we can accept questions either comments based on There are new regulations that ence from August 1st 2024 The emphasis It's good, we need to check this. first non-discrimination policy in the activities and programs there are five elements that have to do with and all these regulations that we are Reviewing the first one, it's about the procedures and for filing complaints do to make it easier to file complaints There are
148some elements that are related to this procedure And for people who want to file a complaint Another aspect concerns the definition of what is considered an environment hsil according to the title nu o be and that is something that We have some information here regarding those changes in the definition of harassment sexual and also make good that that the declaration should be even broader so that so that what it means is clearly understood The third one is exactly that there are certain characteristics to protect the gender identity to protect the young people according to the title any questions or details in how much prohibition of discrimination based on genre and review those entities in particular of title 19 of title 9 uh afterwards We have the protections for the pregnancy and adaptations based on pregnancy
149for the good people who also when The title also corresponds to how provide that support and element end which boils down to the obligation to train all employees on some There are some requirements regarding these matters. we need to take into account when To carry out these processes, that is to say We need to strengthen our behavior regarding the matters that have to see with the discrimination and well yes, the first one The policy would be the no discrimination in programs and district activities and then We would continue with the others, do we have any Audience commentary on the EMS 11 B a 11am would be the time to submit your comments if We do not have a motion No we still have a comment from the table in Regarding 11 B to 11 Isabel
150and I went to an event title nu with the commission of women They had a panel discussion and I think this is something that still is in course, so well, still finished, not good, there's still a lot to go job pending to see if we owe it speak in another Great moment. Now we just need the 11th and a discussion about value, motive and he impact recognition of the months commemorative Well, this issue focuses on our emphasis on inheritance months for example in which we go focus on the stories contributions review the celebrations and the District's emphasis on wanting to have a space that is safe for the community ensure that Let's keep doing observations throughout the year school throughout our community as well that we have the opportunity for the table Tonight we'll talk
151about courage and... purpose regarding the months commemoratives and then we need to know the reason behind the resolutions to celebrate these months and This has to do with our goal strategic in terms of experiences of the students to provide a inclusive environment and cozy We do need to take all of that into account. It's very good, do we have any comments? from the public any comments online or in person on this matter, yes we can't I had a question when we were talking. We checked the package, I had asked which are some months that already We are celebrating in some of our schools and perhaps all the months but Which ones? In which months do we have some? specific activities in schools And what are our neighbors I think the answers that They've told me
152there are many months commemoratives or celebrations that are happening with regard to cultures in different communities in certain schools we have the month of African Americans for Asian islands of the Pacific on the day of César Chávez recognition of autism, all of that is something that already We are doing what corresponds with the standards for school grades And I don't think that if the table if we as District we adopted commemorative months if we are doing the work that I don't think it corresponds to these months. that it's just to pretend as if we were doing the work I I think that if we do it the way we're doing it work of Well, I don't. I think so. If everyone else is celebrating. for example, a day of gratitude to personal and then another
153school didn't does during those moments commemoratives that others make It doesn't really show us support if... We intend to support without having a month I don't know if it's commemorative, it's quite frustrating. Because if we say, for example We are going to celebrate the heritage of the African Americans not all the time only the month, a specific month and After that, only a few schools did it do or there are no materials because For example, then we can say, "Okay, so..." Some teachers speak better than others. teachers, no, so I think that if it We declare I think that fits well with our overall plan and the general goals that we have so yoar Let's weave those that come from the list of Harvard or Yel, for example, thinking about the previous package we had
154me I'd like to talk about the celebrations specific and make sure they are on a calendar so that they are months specific to commemoration I would like to commemorate or at least recognize the why and give some instructions general because sometimes we don't put ourselves very busy and it's difficult to find the time to celebrate. It's like saying for What do we do on Mother's Day? We must all respect our mothers the days because we make Christmas so that not celebrating such and such a thing every day or something else etcetera etcetera like that Well, it's not that simple either. It's not about... Well, one mother, one... specific religion or anything like that and maybe such as or until Teachers' Day somehow we recognize the teachers or to the people who are recognizing and without
155recognize them if we say that we are Recognizing every day is almost like not to do it for nothing despite the fact that it is something that does We offer all the I am very grateful for what they have done. document that they have given, that is, the one from respect celebrate the diversity, and I think especially in the conversations I have had regarding things that we are already doing I have a curious that if some of those months I feel they're not celebrated in every school which reflects a bit of the community There are no more Asian children in certain schools by For example, I feel that I should say that all schools should do it but above all, the month of inheritance African American, we don't have many African American students But at
156the same time Time is important to celebrate this month I know we don't have many, eh students black, but it's still important I recognize this month I have many There are many details in your thoughts. useful, but I think we should I don't believe that accepting this resolution will we are doing it as an addition selective and I am very grateful that let's be speaking and I appreciate the documents that Also, if that came from Dr. Benson asks me as I I was reading the attached document because I I wanted to try and see if they like it or No, I mean, my brain always wants more. details are not against or are not They're open or they say, "Okay, if you're going to do it." We must be careful because such a thing... another
157and or the children end up getting confused more is a This combination is a perfect example of This has happened, and it will be the case for some of them. these areas that we need to celebrate or But some of the questions stand out. help to talk more in-depth about what it is What's going to happen? when we receive more orders for things that we need to think about We're missing, meaning we're prioritizing certain things. voices and in the end they're going to ask us to Let's prioritize What are we going to do if we decide as a table that we don't want to celebrate and it most importantly, let's decide what let's decide Regarding the resolutions, how are they? Let's go To address this, we must take into account our behavior not only in
158those moments, but always those are some additional thoughts that I have which I think must consider I I ask myself how Let's take the concept and share it with the community of the mode that it is not He sees that this is how it has to be done to everyone, that is Cultural understanding comes from different ways and occurs during many years a way of doing things but There are also It's a good idea not to celebrate. So how do we balance that? That's one of the most important things throughout the entire year, not only what occurs in one month in And how do we continue with this in particular? a way in which allows the community to comment on this process and that's what what we choose to celebrate I want to see more
159I don't want the infrastructure to be... just something to do, that is, you have to have certain intentions not to have, to mean something The example of Isabel or rather the project of passports if you asked most of people don't It would be surprising as a district if We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month 4% There are many of them, we are diverse national celebrations of the months and we also see it in the news But there are things that can't be forced. celebration but if our opinion It's a month CBR different cultures and here they are Some things we can do to Celebrate, here are some resources I think. that the teachers They already share things among themselves them and if I liked what T said about the difficulties of decide What What groups do we
160recognize? and not very answer That's less than what there are, as there are some. nationals plus standardized but or either we have to, or we have to do something no, you can't overwhelm or We must celebrate I think it's a missed opportunity Well, there's a month, a month of... There are so many prides things that make me feel weird when I see others that we attended this month and I feel that We're not responding out of fear. We don't want to offend anyone So, it's a bit difficult. with parties religious, that is, it's there is different parties that They celebrate, I mean, I'm talking more about the... months of inheritances No, if we're going to get into I don't think the details are right. we really can So, he's more interested in celebrating. recognize groups
161January has no cultural events February of African American heritage March Arab April go with a simple [Music] There is, I mean, there's like a calendar that explains All of April has many from Arabic genocide poetry May Day work also ha June is for Jewish people, LGBTI people. Yeah There was something different the last time that we talk about This was like one more issue simple When I proposed This was based on and on [Music] Harvard, and again that's when you talk to him mayor of hundreds of nationalities that We have it in the village and we share it space and services every day when we are and has a right that if it would be Well celebrate everyone, and in my opinion, it seems very obvious but if you see it, if you see it
162list is there an American heritage or be It's very Few had different types of months and they even have different ones disabilities for raise public awareness of certain things and special but I think it's important It is important attach Because I do want to say that in We'll have to do it during July. school during the summer but we can use It's that it's April and another is July and then I don't want to mention the question that I did before and it is the By What do we want? To raise certain voices is because no more for To celebrate, you have to know the Why. Because That determines what we raise We raise certain voices absent and it I ask for research and that strategic plan and the tables and the emphasis was on
163including everyone and celebrate the community So now to celebrate these months but also to have a certain intention purpose of different experiences How many times a year do we celebrate who Who are we in sound or what be but the By What will the "Why" help answer? questions and helps us like staff from here to the halls if we know the why is guard the staff to actually do it then I mean Yes, yes, the table will be set up every month. Well, but no, it doesn't have a certain impact are groups that ccen de services that are specific and women of the African Americans of America Jews, that is, LGBT Plus Mental Health or be those They are all that It's something about solidarity and a opportunity to celebrate then is As we are
164united, they We see we are here for everyone you, but we're going to celebrate this month because it is a month which is the expectation the resolution is approved AND then Why? for example the You have to read a certain book No So how, how Va O whatever it is Why do we ask that the staff in the living room that employees celebrate students, it's like a framework It's like a frame of recognition not time of the minimum of by For example, we do this in every school. There aren't even most of the students Indians, that's it something separate that says hacos the community aligns with the strategic plan Number one of having an environment welcoming and always I'm going back to do the bare minimum we can. The rest can now be developed and
165we can think And it's the least we can do. This happened this month we recognize that it exists We support it. And sorry for everything that has happened. done these to his group gives me Likewise, the resolutions But what matters most to me is less. of the resolution is In other words, it's the work throughout the year, that is, resolution of last month. to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month Latina is the phrase that I loved It encourages all schools to participate in activities initiatives that celebrate culture Hispanic So, the resolution gives me... same But that phrase matters more to me, and I I would like to talk about That's what we're going to talk about: How can we actually do it at school long and do all the days But the resolution did nothing The thing
166is Let's acknowledge all of this and we want to take these measures then the resolution is like a Marco when we say that I don't know if there were any LGBTI people. quotes to liven up all the centers and To recognize them. But there has to be a policy, that is, a resolution not means nothing without measures So that would be a political film about something we're going to to do and then the resolution is such and Here's an explanation of what's going to happen So now we're going to create a policy that has standards minimums that We're going to do 6, 7, 8, whatever, and we are going to recognize This is what we do equity. So I want Gar this time in politics in resolutions are different then we want we have two
167minutes there are interested in taking one measure of the months of I would like a commemoration. see how It would seem that we want to identify and write policies create policies about that resolutions are as based on something that is happening to an action to a Sometimes, if there's something, it's something. occurring in the community or whether it's as a way to support, but There are also resolutions that seem to be like they are like recognitions and there are policies and s that the policy and resolutions are different but it's like a forward direction to think of something to do and that's it to comment is already the I think 10 would be good idea We can talk about this topic another time So now we can talk about a Let's see if there's any
168direction in politics. of what we can do, but it's already the 10. So we have to end very Okay, the next meeting will be the October 10th at 6 pm board of It's 10 o'clock and we've already finished the government board
