003in I shared this story not to reflect on anybody in this room but to highlight the danger when we refuse to confront hard truths the hard truth before is is this public education has too often failed our most vulnerable students removing kindergarten AIDS is not just a budgetary decision it risk perpetuating A system that leads students down the school to pipeline school to prison pipeline boys of color students living in poverty English language Learners are disproportionately affected by their early discipline and systematic in inequities kindergarten is where these students begin to begin to build their social emotional skills identity and confidence that shape their Futures AIDS are more than just extra hands they play critical roles in cultural connections mentors and allies for students who need individualized attention to thrive our district has already shown
004such Courage by working with the national Compadre's Network and embracing restored Justice and culturally affirming practices to address inequities these practice of proven strategies dismantle the school to prison p line before it even begins cutting kindergarten aids would be a step backwards unraveling the progress and compromising the future of our youngest Learners the research is clear the pipeline the prison pipeline to prison often begins in Early Education where limited resources lead to disproportionate discipline for students of color every dollar spent on Early Education saves $7 in future cost to taxpayers including remediation and Juvenile Justice studies like the Tennessee star show that smaller adults to student ratio leads to higher academic performance and long-term success if we cut kindergarten AIDS we may parade ourselves as fiscally disciplined but the truth will be clear to all
005who are watching we'll have failed our youngest Learners contributed to the cycles of inequity we work so hard to dismantle let us confront this truth let us choose Equity healing and Justice by investing in the resources our students need to succeed thank you I placed a QR code if you want to see the report that I shared with the board um there the QR codes are there so you can see the same thing I shared with them thank you uh next up is Alysia you are good afternoon my name is Alisia V and I am Mia I work in the library in elementary I've been here many times and I'm still continue coming and let me tell you this uh my co-workers encourag me but they gave me a lot of topics to talk to
006you and I said I can't do it I could do a topic at a time so you probably see me next time okay just to let you know um last uh last time that I was here I gave you my job description I should have bought the one that we had before it was not so much and it increased we did agree I I I understand that I couldn't do my job in 11 months in eight hours we agree it was 12 months eight hours but you gave us another department we accepted it we accepted it and we are hard workers we're in a summer I don't see custodians they're inside the classrooms I'm over there calling me my name a key to open the gates okay this is things that you don't see but
007that's the TRU I one time I was in the middle of the summer doing uh inventories on the iPads and I say what I'm the only one outside but the district ask us to do that okay and we did it I did it now last week you agree or kind of you know agree 10 months and 5 hours just in the proposal right and my sister said think about it 40 hours a week for four weeks that's 160 if you are 10 months and five hours you are 100 hours that's a 60 hours difference that's 60 hours you're going to take away from the students as well as the teachers that's a fact if it is going to be that way okay and it's a lot so what's going to happen they want textbooks they're
008going to come in and take it I uh textbooks around uh $60 library books $30 leave a note for Alisia I never get the notes uh teacher material God you know we're not there now equipment I get emails on Saturday that they're getting a new student on on Monday and like well the kids's not even here and I have to do the process broken iPads around 15 minutes every Tuesday I might have to make sure that the iPad is done so they could bring it to the warehouse so they could take it it's a long list that I could go on I know it's three minutes three seconds uh but thank you for listening but I will continue coming thank you thank you R Anda and you're good evening my name is Ryan zoua vice
009president for CSA Cella chapter 109 uh I'm Gonna Get You know plenty of practice speaking to you guys because I plan on doing this until [Music] June tonight I want to talk about the ribs and Technology on The Chopping Block um are three texts and one one assistant you know we've taken this hit once before and it took many years to come back to a decent Staffing level and here we are again doing it same thing I would like to uh present to you some data tonight um unfortunately I can't I inquired with my management for it but they were unable to provide it to me so from what I do remember is that we've closed out a few thousand work orders few years ago the following year we did that same amount work in
010half the school year so meaning we did more and that trend has continued for the past three years as we acquired more staff but if we're going to cut those guys we're going to roll all that progress back it's going to be tough because each one has two to three sites per Tech losing three of those techs we only got seven left and you're gonna give the school to each one plus we're opening another school so I I can't imagine you know spreading us that thin is going to help and it's kind of funny because right now I'm teased by cvu and West Shores for showing up multiple times in the week they're like you're back again well yeah you guys are my school site I got to support you in any way I can
011also wanted to mention the imas which is you know it's kind of funny because I kind of consider them like the mafiosos of Technology because like in The Godfather everyone comes for them favors and when they do we magically appear to take care of those work orders because our imas accumulate a ton of the work orders that we do because teachers or other staff don't want to put that work in so they help out I mean if you look at the records they'll probably show that our IMA is put in a ton of those work orders for us um I would like you guys to inquire with management about you know the the amount of work we've we've done as technicians and just to see you know we actually do have quantifiable data to back
012up you know what what I'm saying and that we're one of very few departments that actually do that and have pretty legit data that shows the kind of work that we do and I don't think management does anything like that so let's just see who's really doing the work out there thanks guys thank you we don't need hi good evening Veronica D CSA Chief Union steart for classified good evening uh president auna um board trustees student trustees Dr spara super attendant and extended cabinet I am here today because there is a lot of misconception and misinformation out there about this layoff process and that's how I'm going to say it the district you guys have put out information on board agendas that had lists of positions on them with cut hours and cut working year
013time I'm going to tell you right now that's not true csca has not negotiated anything right now that has to do with the layoff process we will be going to the table on that possibly next week we are working right now on our current contract that is expired so by you guys putting out that you have proposed working hours and working days to be cut from 12 months to 11 months 11 months to 10 months 8 hours to five hours is incorrect on CSA because our members right now as you have noticed from week to week or bi-weekly that you guys are having your meetings keep saying that we are being cut by months and hours the district has put that out there CCA has not and let me repeat myself again has not negotiated
014any of that yet okay so to when my hear my members and you hear my members come up here and they're advocating for changes in hours and work year we are not there they have been scared into that and that's how I'm going to say that because there was something put out by the district on board agendas due to rcoe wanting a certain number cut from The District because you guys are in deficit but because you guys use classified at $24 million deficit supposedly right because we still have the right to negotiate that a so again CCA has not negotiated anything for layoffs as of today there has been no changes to work years or working hours thank you thank you um see nothing else was that it anymore no can I have a motion
015to enter into close session so move I have a motion do I hear a second I second all those in favor I all those opposed motion carries we should be back by 7 o'clock right i' like to call this meeting back to order there was a motion and a second to return into Open Session the motion carried unanimously uh we have nothing to announce from close session can I have a motion to approve the adopted agenda with the exception of 10.2 and 13.12 which we're going to pull which have been asked to be pulled iot I have a motion do I have a second second I have a motion in a second all those in favor all those opposed motion carries um item four public comment Open Session introductory comments and requests to address the
016board on items on the adopted agenda and items not on the adopted agenda will be considered from the audience at this time please complete a request to address the governing board form and hand it into the recording secretary speakers will be limited to 3 minutes per person with the maximum of 20 minutes to each subject matter Additionally the person making the request should State his or her name and the name of the organization or group represented please be advised that the board is not always at Liberty to answer questions right away state law prohibits the board from taking any action on items not listed on the agenda right okay let's get started uh first up Elizabeth santes you guys okay perfect so good evening board members and good evening superintendent I'm here tonight because you
017guys decided to eliminate the Dual language program at Mountain Vista Elementary now the reason I'm here is not just because of that but you guys made this decision without meeting with the parents prior to making this decision Dr sparza said in the past that they were communicating the district was communicating with stakeholders stakeholders involveed the parents you know and this was before the decision was made that you guys were communicating with stakeholders prior to making any decisions and we had the meeting last night with parents informing them that the Dual d program is being eliminated so it came as a shock to them because none of them were aware that this was being that this was the final decision that this has H this had happened so I feel that it was a bit of
018inconsiderate you know that you guys did not take into consideration meeting with these parents that you should have met with these parents before making these decisions because now there are left asking questions of what are they gonna do what are their options and you know it's it's just not right you know I'm not saying your decision to eliminate the program was not right I'm just saying your decision of how you or the steps of how you got to that was not correct you should have met with the parents um I'm I have a lot more stuff to say but at the M right now my mind's a little can't remember but that's kind of like the gist of what I wanted to say you should I feel like you guys should have met with the
019parents taking them into consideration prior to making this decision that's it thank you thank you uh next is uh Jula hi good evening board members um sorry I apologize for my voice um I'm one of the parents of a student at Mountain Vista Elementary um and he was actually a part of the Dual language program I was one of the parents that was informed yesterday that it was going to be cut from Mountain Vista Elementary School and um as far as the district deciding to cut it um I know financially there's a huge deficit like it's been announced um however I'm wondering as far as what's going to be done to support these students that are not going to be able to continue on with the Dual language program um my oldest son is learning
020how to read in Spanish right now um I'm concerned about him starting the school year in an English class and basically falling behind because right now he's doing well and I would like for him to continue on in the Dual language program um I don't think it's fair to us as parents sorry I apologize um I don't think it's fair to us as parents to um have these children um not be able to continue on in this program I think if I'm not sure when the decision was um made as to them thinking to cut it sorry um thinking to cut it soon um I think if we were told maybe at the beginning of the year hey you know we may have to cut one of the Dual language programs uh it's up to
021you whether you decide if you want to have your child join the program at the start of the year because it may or may not be that school um would have been a better option for us because I think the other thing is stability and I understand that one of the options is to if you want to continue your child in the Dual language program have them transferred to another school I don't think that that should be one of the answers um because we want our children to be stable where they're at and I think um you know as part of the school district and teachers we know how important it is to have stability um for children um so I'm just making a comment because I am in support of keeping the Dual language
022program and um again I you know want to know how these children are going to be supported because where I feel like my son is thriving right now in the Dual language program I I don't think the answer is okay well we will support him with tutoring Services if he falls behind you know being changed from Dual language to English um I don't think that that should be something that is the answer or having to transfer and then interrupt the stability he has and that's all I wanted to share thank you thank you Rodriguez like you said my name is Frank Rodriguez I'm also here about the Dual language program I was also one of the parents I was just recently informed yesterday or last night that uh the program would be going away um
023I think it's unfair um with you guys just dropping it not giv us a heads up just last minute um we had no idea this was going to happen I have two kids in the program right now and they're doing really well and my daughter's doing so good and learning both languages and it's so important myself I'm a paramedic firefighter and I can tell you how many more people are going help just because I'm able to speak both languages now I know last night it was brought up over and over again hey um you could teach him at home you could teach him at home do your own thing but the thing is I'm not always at home I'm not there all the time because I'm gone three four days out of the week so
024having this program was like a really really good God bless and like it was just great for my son too because he wants to follow my footsteps and he wants to do what I do and this program is going to help him out so much I just want to know how you guys came to this decision I heard it was because the numbers of students that our school was one of the smaller ones I would like to see that I would like to see how you guys got to this decision what made you choose our school out of all the schools why was it us also like was I noted earlier it's kind of a you guys threw in the option like going to another school well I'm not there all the time my wife
025drops off the kidss on her way to work so it's not like we could it's going to throw a big wrench in our day and our schedule and everything it's going to going to a different School waking up earlier and then not just to mention that but also the emotional um trauma is going to cost the kids just ripping them out of one school out of all their friends when they've been there for a couple of years and just moving them to another school for this program um a huge supporter of the school I mean and and the program itself let me see three minutes longer than I thought let me see the decision was made Friday and I was told that um that you guys wanted to keep her it was try to be
026kept hush hush and then they didn't want to tell us anything kind of keep us in the dark I want to know why um why wasn't this also basically why weren't you guys telling us why W you guys transparent about it was you guys take to accountability any other options any way to save the program you guys could have talk to us had a meeting maybe put our heads together find a way to save it before all this happened I mean the beginning of school year I don't know how long you guys knew but that was something you guys could have brought to our attention too I mean like I said I was there last night I'm here today had I known I'd come I'd be here that's all I have to say thank you
027thank you president president if I can just direct the superintendent to I don't know what happened and why the parents just found out yesterday or not but if you can please meet with them and see I mean I don't think and well they were it was probably announced they had the principal had a meeting yesterday with the parents yeah well I yeah I think to all the comments that this board at least the ones who voted we've all been supportive of the program and the questions that they're raising are very valid and so if you can just meet with them and try to see I mean I I would have the same questions if I just found last minute right so thank you you're welcome uh next up is Jessica I apologize I miss sorry
028hello good evening everybody uh my name is Jessica Ames I as well as the other people that came up um I am a parent of two students that go to Mountain Vista and um we just got the news last night so um very concerned because both of my children are thriving in this program and I feel that it's very vital to their success as they become adults you know for them to learn two languages and I'm very saddened by the fact on how this was you know informed to the parents and that it's being pulled away from the school that my my children go to um just as the other parent mentioned I want stability for my children I don't want to be moving my children from one school to another because you know budgets
029are cut and unfortunately our school was selected where you guys are ending this program um I would have liked to have seen you know some options what can we do to see the program get us involved um like the other parents said you know what are some options how can we come together and collaborate on this for the students because at the end of the day it's about the children our children are the future and I feel that this program being taken away it's going to affect so many families and most importantly our children my daughter is thriving in this program and um she loves to talk Spanish you know and she is just excelling in school and you know as the other mother mentioned if she gets pull well once this program ends at
030the end of the year she's going to be an English but they're going to be behind already so moving them to another school I don't feel is the answer not only but there's a wait period I don't even know if another school is going to be able to take my daughter but that shouldn't be the answer we should have other options so my plea tonight is for you guys to reconsider you know um this program try to see if there's any way that this program can be saved or at least um come up with some other options I don't feel that ending this program is the answer is the right thing for the families and for our children thank you very much for your time and I hope that you guys can reconsider this thank
031you thank you he um just for the board we weren't at the meeting last night obviously we we weren't invited so um no I'm just joking uh we weren't aware of the meeting but I know we did have some staff that was there so if they want to let us know what was said or real quick um and then I'll get to I have two ask three more after that but if you can do that very quickly just for the boards uh again I don't believe any of us were there I was there Mr President okay I'd be interested in finding out what you said as well yep good afternoon my name is sanana l i Am the Dual language coordinator for kachala Valley Unified School District I have been in this position since July
032of this year and um I was present at last night's meeting along with um Miss Valerie Perez um we did address the parents in regards to the duol language program and the closing of the program one of the reasons well the main reason the program is being closed is because it has low enrollment um the N because of the low enrollment the program is not sustainable um if we're looking at numbers from three years ago the the program started in 2021 and at that time at Kinder they only had 20 students which they should have had 24 because we know as the students progress through the grades and by the time they get in fourth grade some of the students leave the program so by the time these students entered the fourth grade now they
033have 11 in the program out of these 22 students out of these 20 students who entered back in 2020 so every year the new class has started it has not started with 24 students it has started with um 18 back in 2021 there was only 18 Kinder students enrolled so as you can see as they progress through the years the program is not sustainable I understand the parents concerns and I understand that this is a program that is a wonderful program for the students to become bilingual and biliterate I'm for the program I advocate for the program but in this case the student demographics the student population is not there at that school we do have a plan that was developed by um Miss l in collaboration with the principal can you go over the
034plan please yes so we do have the plan is like we mentioned yesterday to the parents one of the things that the parents have the option is to remain in the school and andol their students and the SE classrooms and we also explained to the parents the students are already learning English by the time they reach third grade 30% of their time is in English so the adjustment is not going to be a huge adjustment but they're learning English and by the time the student get in fourth grade 50% of the time is in Spanish and 50% of the time is in English the students in the Dual language program from kindergarten they start learning English so they're learning both languages as they're progressing through their grades so that was one of the options and
035I made the parents aware of that option and then also I also made them aware that if you are a Spanish speaker and can you can also you know speak to your children in Spanish at home and continue that language um the other option was to you know offer them another school where they can um go to another dual language school and have their children participate at that school and that our district would be offering transportation services for those parents who are willing to um have their students attend another dual language program and for the students that do remain or choose to remain at Mount Vista um then the the plan that was also develop was to support them as they transition into SEI and that plan includes developing a um summer school class where
036um intervention curriculum would set in place and that would be either 95% or corrective reading as well as they continue to transition for the next school year then miss Le will be working closely with the teachers to um support them and the students right especially in those English um foundational skills that they already started learning in Kinder first grade second grade and Etc so that the students can access the English and be able to participate in the State Testing by third grade yeah Mr President so I I attended the meeting last night to hear what their concerns were and and but um I I I did make a commitment to come here and and ask what Mrs boss has already asked for which is more information and for superintendent uh uh as far as to
037meet with the parents and and have a conversation with them so a lot of the concerns were the plan and the rollout of the the the door language program and the way that it would transition into having kids attend other schools so parents concerns they did not want them to to go to another school because they would have they would have uh some issues in in in in having to go to a new school and make new friends and and interact with students so some of the social emotional issues that students have will you know that was their main concern um and the concern was that they were just notified also on Friday and they had the meeting last night so it's a communication thing in my opinion but miss boss has already asked for
038more information and I would ask the same thing of superintendent sparza thank you yeah I do u i i do I I this is a program that that's dear to my heart and right I have a freshman in college who graduated uh with a dual language U certificate and she's done and continues to do very well when we started on this idea of dual language um across our district it was a very ambitious ask right because we as a board all seven of us believe that it was probably the the metrics that showed that kids that were in dual language that if we had a staff that bought in that they would outperform our regular kids and I think the metrics have shown that when the program is rolled outright that does happen right I
039think generally on the state standardized testing scores those kids that are in dual language outdo outperform kids that are just in English only classes um I have a question for you when you said that we started in 2020 1 the first number you said in kidner you said 18 and then you repeated that in 18 you had 20 students can you tell me maybe 21 was 18 22 was how many kers in 2020 when the program started okay 20 students okay and then by the time those students um got into um first grade the following year yes we lost two students so they went down to 18 I got you so but okay so and then did we start new kider students every year we start a new Kinder how started how many started in
0402022 how many Kinder kits so in 2022 we started with 15 students wow okay and then it just progressively probably because staff didn't buy in uh or whatever the program nobody's promoting it I would imagine that the and I'm just assuming right because it seems to me like there's got to be 20 families want to teach their kids at Desert at at Mount Vista there's got to be 20 families that want to teach their kids two languages I I would say that if somebody was promoting it that you would probably have to turn kids awake because the program I think is that good so our youngest kids are kider and our oldest kids are what grade fourth we have a third fourth combo because there's three um 11 students in third grade and 11 students
041in fourth grade so those two have have to be combined in one classroom those are all of them 11 and 11 yes and and and so by the time they're I think by the time they're fourth or fifth graders they're doing 50% English 50% Spanish right well by the time they're in fourth grade they're doing 50% English and 50% Spanish but because it's a combo the third graders should be getting still more foundational skills in Spanish so that they can anchor the English language and acquire it at a higher academic level and then so what's staff's recommendation what's your recommendation that we just that the kids just basically mogane into regular curriculum or choose to go to another school is that is that kind of what you know and I understand the economics of it
042I mean we can't we can't sustain classrooms with with eight children it's it's it's impossible right financially the burden where we're at right now we just can't sustain that but I can also hear the plight of the parents right that that the kids are doing well the kids are happy they have all their friends and I just hope that as the superintendent and as you continue to work on it and and and breaking the news to them right this is not going to start till next year so I don't know how early we would have broke the news to them to me it seems like that's as fast as we could possibly inform them right right and and obviously it's not good news so you're not gonna we're not going to like what we hear
043but I think it's important as Miss Spas said uh Dr Spar said to really meet with the parents to try to get them to understand where we're at right I wasn't sure if I should just hold it for my board report but I you know I appreciate staff coming to the podium I know it's uncommon for us to do that during you know like public comment um but uh I think the one thing that I am a little bit concerned is the comment made by the parent that you know there's a lot of transparency um a miscommunication or what not right but I I'm really uh uh It's upsetting to hear that parents are just hearing about this yesterday or whenever the the meeting was held right and so um I think as we're continuing
044these conversations and I know we we've mentioned this since we started this process right that we are being transparent um I it doesn't sit well to hear that um they have the impression that we're trying to um keep them in in the dark right and so I think just making sure that we're doing that um and having those conversations with with parents and the community yeah yes thank you I have a question so the number the total number of students in that school right now that are in our dual language how many from kinder through fourth 77 77 thank you so the breakdown is Kinder is starting with 22 which should have start with 24 because you see what happens as they get in the older Gates so they're starting with 22 and by the
045time they get in fourth grade those classes should have 30 students are they going to have 30 students no and then um first grade there's 21 second grade has 12 third grade has 11 fourth grade has 11 but it's a combo else so my question is what types of information sessions do we give on Dual language at the beginning of the year at the end of the year for the next year I know there are bulletin announcements but as a parent with the little one in dual immersion right now I know because I have a nephew that's done beautifully in our program within this District he's a freshman in high school and is still in the program doing very well but but a very brand new parent not necessarily knowing the the ways and means
046of this I don't even know what my rights are for these things so having I don't know if we pushed it enough in this particular school it sounds like there are parents who want this and could maybe even tell others about it um I'm personally offended about the idea of speak Spanish to your child at home it is absolutely not the same caliber right of Education like like I speak span I can speak Spanish but my son can correct me and I believe him because his level is just so different than what I I did at school because I you know that wasn't something that was available to me and my parents worked and this is just a language that we're losing unfortunately in the generations right so it's just unfortunate and I'm I'm sorry
047to hear um what the parents have gone through so far I think there's still room for improvement it sounds like we were so close with these Kinders right two more had we known and had we brought more meetings out to let parents know um I know that what I I heard is um parents have issues with the homework um maybe they need homework help and things like that if we could provide those types of services for parents um that homework help and tutoring so that they know that they are also given that um as help because I it's a lot of homework it's a lot of homework but to see the progress I mean beautiful beautiful um reading in Spanish in school and then English at home I mean without even having it happen at
048uh at school really really amazing I it's disheartening to hear that these parents are not having to scramble and make hard decisions maybe because we just didn't even try to recruit um standing on what has happened in the past it's very difficult for a new parent maybe they've moved here maybe they haven't to not know what's available to them we might be able to just get those last few right so thank you for the work that you have done but it just feels like we've fallen short and unfortunately these students are now having to scramble these families so um it's now up to us to find the way forward the year is not over so my hope is the year is not over parents we we'll see what we can do but so one of
049the things that we are doing as of now we're doing a Kinder Roundup and we're going to every school every Elementary School and we are promoting the Dual language program educating the parents of what the Dual language is because um I come across a lot of parents in this District that don't understand the Dual language program they just think it's a Spanish program but it's more than that sure absolutely and I think that one of the problems it stems from the planning of the program because in the neighboring District um I raised the program from the bottom up and I started with two Kinder classrooms at each School site because I know that some students leave and by the time they got to third and fourth grade we had enough students like 25 30 kids
050out of the two Kinder classes that started so I see this issue happening because there's other schools who only have one grade of Kinder one second and Etc so I see the pattern I see that by the time they get to fourth grade they're going to have low numbers so I think that like Dr espara mentioned we need to have another system like an academy where we have all our dual language students and one side because like I said there's only two schools at this District that have two Kinder classes who go up to two first grade and Etc by the time they get to fourth grade they become a whole class of 30 at least 30 students so I mean the numbers are easy to to read and that's without necessarily having the meetings
051with the info and the Roundup I mean it might have been possible because hearing that we have combo classes in duel that's like four classes for a teacher that's in English and Spanish in both languages Absolut that is not easy for a teacher that's not easy for anyone and then to figure out what level because you have to choose what level you're going to lean towards that's not easy for anyone our students getting their very best so I agree that it sounds like I don't like the idea of combos for any of these students because it's already enough on anyone's plate students parents teach teachers that's a lot yes um so I'd be I'd love to hear the ideas of you but I also think we need to hear that parent input because it sounds
052like we have parents that that are interested in working with us and getting that word out so both I I just want to make a final comment I I you're in a tough position because it's obvious to me that this that this program wasn't started correctly by by our staff right uh it it it it there was a there was a directive from the board it was a lot of excitement that we would become a dual Language School District and like many things uh here restorative practices it all falls on death ears because the people that are to carry it out they don't set it up right they don't execute and and here we are and and now the parents are paying the consequence of a program that wasn't started correctly hopefully we can figure
053it out thank you I have a comment can you remind me of your name again um sanana Lita sanana Miss Lita um well first thank you because I've heard a lot of good things about you and I recognize that you just joined in July um and one of the things maybe that I would like to request is a study session on the Dual language um program because what we are seeing at this one school and the discussion up here it's really symptomatic of some of the issues that you've raised um as well some that you have not raised but have come to us in terms of how well the program has been resourced um historically even when we only had like a couple schools um we had heard from teachers there too that the program
054was not as resourced the way that it should be so if we are making a decision to be a dual language District the resources need to follow so that the professional development is there so that all the recruiting happens so that all the material are in place which I hear you know um we're not there so I I do request that maybe we have a steady session and that before any decision is made that we are not here like the parents abruptly right like there there's got to be like a facing out or transitioning out if that's the direction that might happen but it shouldn't be from one year to the other when you have students in the middle of the program at a school and then all of a sudden it disappears tomorrow um
055so I hope I understand that this is part um the elimination of the program was included in the stabilization plan um I don't know if that means that this is it and we have no other options but I do invite you to explore because maybe it's not too late and to explore what could happen that's differently um and sitting down with the parents to be part of that conversation thank you we have a couple more speakers thank you guys appreciate it we have a couple more speakers on this issue um Adriana umio I believe she's a teacher there correct good evening board members um I am misso I am a teacher in mon Vista I'm been a teacher for 22 years in this District teaching the Dual program teaching dual program in resert SS too
056um so I started this program this year in mon Vista I have the third fourth grade uh combo which I agree it's very hard not a lot of people will be able to take it um but adore this program I love this program and I I everything for this program this year I started with noticing that our program in our school was not done correctly was not promoted correctly I started in because I know oh this program is supposed to be no more than the language it's supposed to have also the cultural aspect I started doing cultural events nothing was promoted into our parents Square none of our parents got to see what was promoted into a school I was asked to do this Pro program but I want to do it correctly I know
057I've done uh meetings at the beginning of the year to promote the program and I have to do parent meetings at the end of the year to uh tell how well the program went I was denied a meeting I talked and I want wanted to do a meeting by IT services I was denied a meeting to explain to her parents about the program okay so this was not done correctly I emailed everybody I promoted Anna I talked to Anna parent Bel on that it was not being promoted they said that I have to do my flyers they said that I have to do my thing so I felt like this is not right this program is being stopped in here yes this program is new on Mon Vista to me because now kindergarten has 24
058uh first grade has 24 yes I do have 1111 because it was from The Bu PR started I mean started um with low numbers and they being left behind because it's not being promoted that's what I do agree with this this program that parents are not being told and not being informed what the program should be look like it's not just about education and we know we can transition kids into the English but that's not the point the point is that we want bilingual students we don't want monolingual students and that and we don't want our kids to lose their culture either so this is why I promote this program and I want to keep this program and I've been fighting for this program I wish I could have brought all the Flyers my students
059made that they wanted to Rally outside to keep our program I didn't bring them over here but that's I mean I said you know what we can't do this because we can get in trouble but since I'm teaching government right now they want to have democracy they wanted to do that but I mean they are so and they don't want to move and especially I told them I do follow the program and wherever the program is I'm going to move they said well no we're going to go with you but um I feel that this program in desert SS I mean in here in the in mon has not been promoted plus the curriculum here Billy knows that I was buting fighting for the curriculum because I wasn't given the curriculum I was supposed to
060have 50/50 I never received my curriculum in English and I have I told Billy about it and he said that ed services I give him a directive not to give me that so I've been fighting for even to get the curriculum correctly in this program and I know prior teachers did the same thing so this is the reason this program is not working in monista okay thank you sorry Addy Rodriguez hello um thanks you thank you for having us here um I just want to um make a comment about um so my get started in um Mount Vista in 2022 my daughter was in kindergarten and um they've been thriving ever since I have a daughter and uh in second grade and a son in first grade um uh and parties that we gone to
061with our kids with talking to other parents um older kids as well that have been in the program they have told us how um there um some of like one couple uh one of the teachers she went on maternity leave and there was a lot of problems with um replacing her um there wasn't there was a lot of uh substitutes throughout the whole year and from what I heard from them is that's the reason why they wanted to pull them out of their kids because um they weren't uh teaching them properly because there was so many substit udes and I know it's not the teacher's fault I totally you know I I'm all for you know her having kids and everything but I think the school should have organized that a little bit better and
062like come up with um permanence at least if they know that she's going to be gone for so long because the same thing happened again this year and I again I heard it from a lot of parents that they wanted to pull the kids out because of that reason it wasn't because the program wasn't good or anything it's because of that um so I just want to bring that up um also I wanted to hear more about the notes that you guys took yesterday um I'm sorry I forgot her name but she was there and she took a lot of notes and I didn't really hear her right now say a lot of that stuff that came up yesterday there was a lot of concerns from a lot of the parents um so yeah I

068learn effectively creating significant barriers to academic success the ramifications for a district not in compliance go beyond educational gaps the state holds these districts accountable and failure to meet these requirements can result in legal action and loss of funding Additionally the the district May face public scrutiny loss of Community Trust and potential intervention from the state to ensure compliance these consequences can strain already Li lied resources and negative negatively impact the school environment ultimately non-compliance with the Williams act undermines the mission to provide Equitable education to all students and it can lead to long-lasting financial and reputational damage for the district on behalf of the imas I urge you to engage in further discussions with the district's negotiating team to fully assess the ramifications of the proposed cuts the well-being and academic progress of our

078and they really talked about promoting the program and the lack thereof and how parents don't know that we we're a d Language School District and I also heard a lot of concerning comments regarding parents wanting to move their kids from the district so um my concern Dr sparza is I've already shared with you um and and you've heard and and I think the community has heard that this board is committed to the D language program but also committed to doing a review as Miss as Miss boss has has asked us to asked the district to do so um but uh thank you to all the parents that showed up we were listening uh we were there uh we we hear your concerns um and and I I believe that we're going to continue to address

080they're doing I know our girls soccer team also traveled out yesterday to to tra to play uh out in the LA area so thank you to all our coaches that are that are you know taking our our students out there and and our students that are competing and doing really really well the boys varsity basketball team wow I mean they were competing against a you know this team that was uh about you know had about a couple he just was taller than them and just to see our students really really fast and you know playing good basketball I was I was it was good to to be there at the game last uh about a week and a half ago at Cella Valley high school so thank you to to to all our teams that
081are doing really really well across our district um I think it's important um so yeah I mean U um thank you to our uh our transportation department that's getting our buses there on time thank you to all our staff here in the in the district office who's who's getting uh some of these requests and and taking care of uh what we need to for our school district so um I also um just you know just we know we're going to have more information on Dual language for the parents and that we're transparent into what we're doing and yeah I I just my last comment would be that um I know that there schools that are doing really really well in terms of testing and so I want to give a shout out to um to
082uh uh Peter penlon Elementary who's done really really great and the teachers at Peter P Peter Pendleton Elementary have done really really great in teaching our students that they've moved our students up to uh sort of the green level and our testing and I and I believe that and I'll continue to advocate for a play State uh play structure for not not a play structure but the the uh we know know that the saman is really really bad there and I know that we're dealing with budget cuts but for a school where the students the teachers the parents have all come together I'm going to continue to advocate for that saman to be replaced because our kids deserve a play area where they can play every day and so I'm going to continue to advocate
083for that Dr Spar so thank you Mr President that's all I have thank you um real quick uh I was told that you wanted to request something to be on the agenda item uh as well um this during this time you can also request so I just wanted to make sure if you wanted that on as an action item as a discussion item or you wanted to just let me know yeah so um I have as a as in my in my job Mr President I have taken students from neighboring districts to Ironwood state prison for a program called Life's Too Short where students get to speak to inmates and have inmates share their story stories with them and uh what I talked to Dr spars is I know that given our budget constraints that
084that I'm willing to to cover the cost um for a bus to take students from our local schools to the program as well but um I ask that that um if there's any conflicts or anything for me covering the cost and then uh I just want to communicate that to the board so that um we can possibly put it on the agenda or um if it's not doable then then uh at least we know it's not doable okay I just want to make it clear if you wanted it for discussion of of doing a program like this obviously you can't you personally can't do it but we would have to have our own staff do it so that's why if I wanted to make clear what you wanted yes so um given that I I
085just want to say I to cover the transportation cost uh for for our students to to go down there and I wouldn't be involved but our staff would be involved so I'd like to have that uh however we can bring that on to next all right so Dr spars if You' make sure that gets on for a discussion item at the next agenda all right thank you um board member Gonzalez uh member pass yes um I'm just going to give my unsolicited opinion on your last item but maybe I mean if there's going to be staff I guess it's not just an informational but just I think what um I Heard trust like some direction to could he do it what would it look like um so some type of planning or investigating whether he
086asked whether it would be conflict I don't know things that maybe questions that he has that need to be looked at before in preparation for the next meeting but um so thank you everyone for coming thank you to the parents and the teachers of the Dual language um program um I I hope that you felt heard I I do think it's um really important and um and as a parent I can put myself in your shoes right so um thank you for being here um the meetings from now until July are going to be difficult meetings right I mean we're making we've already made some very difficult decisions in our um plan is stabilization plan and now it's I know there were a lot of conversations um there still needs to be items that are
087being NE negotiated um between the unions and the school district and so but the plan is the plan the negotiations might alter some things we don't know how the negotiations are going to go and what they're going to result in and um so I just think that um or I ask for that sort of understanding that there might still be things that impact right the end result depending on some negotiations and other things that are still being worked out um nonetheless it it will be every meeting from now until the actual adoption of the budget is going to be a very difficult meeting March coming um coming up and um you know the notices that are going to be out it's never easy for people to hand them out or for people to receive them
088um so I just wanted to just Express that and um and let you know I mean we're going to continue to just um make the decisions that we have to make um but really appreciate you continuing to show up and um letting us know what you're seeing and how things are impacting you um so um I'm not going to repeat the requests because I think you've got them but thank you vice president BR yeah just um I also want to thank the public parents uh the staff who came out and and share their concerns uh with the program um I think being bilingual I we have seen the the data that sta have shared with us about the successes so it is hard um you know to make those decisions uh where to cut right
089um I really do appreciate you know uh folks coming out and sharing not just concerns but just their experience right and I think for me it's um I think I've always thought about um the inequities right like if you happen to get lucky and have someone that's just pushing for something and I I I don't think that should be the case right I think we should have exceptional programs like across our district right and so um you know whether it's been poor promotion or Outreach that we haven't done our job I think we we we need to be better right um it's definitely a disservice to our students not doing so um and I think we're seeing it here right the fact that we don't have the numbers and we're making decisions based on the
090numbers and what's sustainable and what's not considering our our budget deficit so um you know I'm just hoping that uh as we're having the conversations the next coming months I we've been having conversations around assessing our Effectiveness how we're using every single dollar and Cent and so um I know that we are having conversations around you know programs um you know not just our dual language program but all our programs right to make sure that we are um using every single dollar um to the best that we can do so so um I just appreciate everyone coming out um thank you to staff who share emails and bring communication just sharing concerns and things for us to look and consider as we have these conversations and um that's it for me and thank you thank
091you um I'm going to make it short uh again thank you to everyone who came out to uh to give their uh to give their opinions uh I've always said regardless if you are nice to me you're bad to me it doesn't really matter the fact that you get off the couch and come out here and talk to us tells you that you're engaged and that's always a good thing regardless um I I won't repeat what we talked about the Dual language they're going to look into that they're going to do they'll they'll do their their due diligence and and we'll be able to get some answers um I just wanted to mention a couple of other things I was also at the uh at the groundbreaking for the uh the ribbon cutting for the
092two uh schools where we did the uh Renovations and then we'll be doing three more tomorrow um one of the things that I I pressed upon especially to the kids and also to the staff that um we can fix them we can make them nice but it's now their job and their responsibility to take care of them because if not in three years we're going to be right back spending all the money if we don't take care of them and that was uh not only the kids but also the staff and uh we mentioned to our team out there that we handed them off to them and now it's their job to take care of them so you know it's very expensive what we're doing we're able to do that through certain funding that we
093have that's not the general fund um so but again we need to take care of our things um in that way as well and as you know we've had a lot of breakings in our in our Valley and you know targeted you know Portables and stealing stuff and you know these are people from our community stealing from our kids and we all need to you know if we know something so we we need to take care of our things we cannot or we can we we have to keep replacing all those things that they steal but then it comes out of cost and other things so just reminding everyone it's all of our our responsibilities to take care of our things in our in our district um other than that Mr Arondo I'll put that
094on the agenda for you um and then uh if there was anything else that any board member wanted on the agenda we we'll just let me know and we'll get it on there uh for that um I think my final comment is as um board member pass mentioned uh we're going to have difficult meetings all the way till we pass a budget and then even probably pass that as well um for those of us who are still going to be here um the thing to remember as as she mentioned we don't know what's going to happen with negotiations we have contingency plans that we really don't want to do um so we'll but that'll happen we don't know how many people are going to retire that's also going to be something that tells us how
095many people we need to let go how many people we can backfill uh and some of our programs but again um and I appreciate the parents coming here but there's a lot of other programs that we cut that I didn't particularly want to cut but you know we we we can't can't play favorites in some ways right we can't stand up here and say well this is my project I really like this one I'm not going to vote for it we have to kind of look at it across the board and how how it affects us personally shouldn't be how we vote right and and again I you know parents I'm just trying to be honest obviously uh I I we have to look at it in a broader space but there are still things
096to come um the final budget from the state that's also going to maybe affect some of what we do uh some other factors so um you know we'll keep doing what we do and and hopefully you'll be getting the information the correct information uh and you know we'll we'll try to do a better job in communicating again I didn't know you had a meeting last night so uh I I was not able to attend um but again we have been talking about this since we put out the plan it was in the plan which we started working on what December right so it was kind of already out there and again you guys are busy trying to pay your bills and you know take care of your kids uh we need to be a better
097job and let you know but that information was has been there since probably December that we were looking at cutting these positions and these programs so uh again going back to we need to do a better job of communicating with everybody uh as well so and with that Dr sparsa um thank you for that Mr President if I can I forgot something um I think we pulled out the calendars from the agenda so just on that when it comes back if we can get more options then just four options with three weeks of Christmas break and all of that um so and um I do if you see me closing my eyes is because I have a headache and I think it's turning into a migraine so if I leave um please excuse me but
098I'm not closing my eyes out of disrespect or because I'm bored of just getting this bad headache so thank you okay thank you anybody else any less comments then moving on all right Dr spon so I want to thank the parents uh who came out but I want to inform the board and I uh have been bringing this up that the principal needs to have the conversation with the parents first and the principal requested that the district support her in having this conversation so that's why that happened that way and of course uh we want to be able to go out there we want to be able to uh also give some insight uh not just to Mountain Vista but to all the schools on where they're at in regards to enrollment what the trends
099have been exactly like you stated the study because we don't want to close dual language programs and and I know you said you know we've closed programs and that's one thing that under my leadership I I I would not want to do across the board um I know this is a difficult it was a difficult decision uh and having those conversations with the principal and um I appreciate that uh I'm hearing that there were requests for recruitment um and yes the district does need to do a better job because you know what I believe 110% in dual language I am a product of one of the first dual language programs from the 70s I know I don't look it I'm just kidding um but yes you know we need to do better uh in making
100sure that we're recruiting and that we're keeping our students but not just keep keeping our students there that we're really creating bilingual and biliterate students because they have so many more opportunities as they move into you know either the workforce or college or university and Beyond and so I know a lot of teachers and myself uh being a teacher first a lot of us know two languages especially in this community in the community that I was raised and I worked in in LA and La unified and so dual langu is one of the most requested programs um and in other languages as well throughout Los Angeles so the fact that we're in this community and we're being told students aren't being enrolled in these programs it's difficult that's very difficult it's been very hard for
101me to swallow that and so yes we do need to do better at Recruitment and I'm going to um bring something to the board uh to see what it is that we can do because again I do believe 110% and like I said I'm a product of it and I'm very proud to be a product of the Dual language program from City Terrace Elementary School um so thank you parents once again thank you for coming out and sharing I I want to thank uh Terry Kover uh from uh do the right thing she's actually put it out to CV USD for us to be a part of it as well it's always been desert sand and Palm Springs and Desert Sands and Palm Springs and they finally tapped into us and said hey would you
102like to come along and I said of course because our students need to be recognized for doing the right thing and they usually have five or 10 applications uh we put the application out and we have over 120 applications right now um that and I know they're going to be overwhelmed and say wow CVUSD has amazing kids and so we know that it's probably going to be 200 by the time they get it uh they get all the applications and they have to decide so they're probably going to have to hire more people to go through all the applications just for CVUSD but we're so happy that our principals and our teachers and our staff are actually turning in those applications and identifying students who are champions so thank you for that um I do
103want to thank the facilities committee and uh the board members and the facilities uh staff here who really did an amazing job at Cesar Chavez and at Coral Mountain and I know we're going to be able to do some more ribbon cuting we invite you to join us we'll be putting it out to make sure that we have more parents there we should have the parents there we should have the teachers there we should have the classes there watching and seeing everything that has happened from this beginning to what the the playgrounds and the and the structures look like to where we're at now and um making sure that our students understand that they deserve this and so so thank you everyone who put the time and effort and of course the state for those
104Monies to be able to to get that going for us um CSEA um we do know that uh the district has made requests uh to negotiate and that there's a lot because the contract is also up and so there's negotiations and we can't wait for for CCA to sit down with us and be able to start negotiating on some of those opportunities for our imas and for our Elsa and for uh staff that we want to make sure that um we can bring back um and I know that uh you don't want to hear that it's reduction in hours or reduction in years um and that's why in the fiscal stabilization plan it has either all or some and so if you go back and you look at it it's on uh board docs it
105shows what it looks like with the layoffs and without the layoffs because we want to make sure that we have the opportunity to still again give uh some of our staff the opportunity to take on those OPP those jobs um even though it is with uh Less hours and I want to thank all our student trustees again Isabella thank you thank you for sharing uh yesterday we met with all the student trustees and all of the extended cabinet for them to be able to voice what it is that they would like to see at their schools and what it is that they appreciate about the district and so um they're they're very modest and humble um but they they come with some great ideas as well and so we're working together to make sure that
106we're hearing the voices of our students as well thank you thank you Dr spara okay moving on um item six six yes information presentations uh director Pony the alap midyear update are they going to bring up the presentation slides so they're going to bring up the slide presentation what you have um that was also attached to this agenda item um is this booklet which is a collaborative effort from at services and fiscal um to bring you this midor update in detail um I'm Karen P for those of you who don't know me the director of state and federal projects um I'm happy to be here this this evening to share this midor Lup update with you um and this update is um has expenditures through January 31st 2025 so every elcap goal and action is
107updated with expenditures through um January 31st and then in addition to what we're seeing right now on the screen you have the detailed um medor update can I thank you so overall in our lcap we have 20.8 million um allocated over five different goals in our lcap you'll see by far the largest um application is for goal one and that is um because it is focused on our instructional framework and also our academic success um for our students followed by goal two which is focused on student well-being and social emotional Wellness go one as many of you know is to create Equitable access to educational opportunities that will lead to academic success for our students so for each of the actions and each goal we have broken it down in detail um go one we'll
108start with go one we have the total elcap budget we have the um expenditures through the end of January for positions any extra Services contracts other other costs and indirect cost and then the total expenditures and what is the remaining balance for that particular action in the lamp other cost could include things such as instructional materials um technology Transportation conferences supplies and the indirect costs are General management costs that are necessary for the operation of the district and so that could that includes payroll and Personnel purchasing um centralized data processing so you'll see here um in 1.1 we have the implementation of the multi- system of supports we have um our supplemental supports to and strengthen our instructional core and we have our academic enhancements and supplemental programs and continuing in goal one 1.4 is
109our highly qualified educational staff you can see the um what's budgeted and the remaining balance in that particular action is 1.8 million we have our College and Career Readiness that includes clud all of our CTE programs um and then we have our multilingual and Multicultural education of which dual language is a part of and 1.7 is our Title One and lcff site allocations and also state federal support and uh technology and then finally 1.9 is support for our early Learners so of the total $21.4 million that was allocated in uh go one the total expend expenditures are 104.4 million leaving a balance of 17 million goal two is to provide equable access to health and wellness to ensure social emotional and academic success me real quick um as you go through these goals I didn't
110know if anybody wanted to ask question during the goals or if anybody you know what I'm saying I just didn't know if you wanted to skip over and then be going back so if anybody had any question questions on go one um just wanted to kind of give everybody an opportunity I actually did have a question um obviously we're in February um some of these we've already spent or overspent in certain categories so that doesn't that means I'm assuming like some of the Staffing is has been encumbered that's why it's it's there not it has been spent yet technically spent yet but it's been encumbered is that exactly I just want to make sure that we understand that if we have staff that that's what that's covered and it's not like we still have to
111pay all that that's why that encumbered and then I did have one question on one of the categories they over by about 1.5 million um was it one of the first ones yes where does that money come from the extra money we've already spent that we've over budgeted in that one so that um is that money is going to be supplemented with positions I have them in filled with vacancies in the ELC cap this year and um that money is um largely Transportation costs that were over that were over budget so um that's that's uh 1.2 again my question would be where we getting that money from that we over budgeted it's still within the AL comp we will move it from positions that weren't filled that were vacant for the year to make up
112that difference in the lcff budget um just a quick reminder that when I think a couple of years ago we asked that before you guys started moving money around you brought it back to the board for approval to to be able to do that so yes you have question no it's it was that it wasn't very clear to me it wasn't making sense so we have a deficit in 1.2 so we're going to move from goal one either 1.1 or whatever other and reallocate to cover that cost we have um in our El Cap we have both general fund and lcff supplemental so because we do have to cover that cost we will look at what areas um that we are not utilizing that we can that we can um possibly move those expenditures too
113but overall you'll see as a goal one we are not in the negative and thank you for pointing out the total expenses do include um salaries and also contracts for the entire year president um yeah my question is why do the uh indirect cost rate vary from 17 to 24% is that determined by the Waring agent agcy and do we get approval for that the indirect cost rate varies um depending on what um if it's lcff dollars if it's a categorical program some of them have specific um um maybe you can only have a 3% indirect for example if you're if you're looking at title $3 dollar so it does vary um depending on how that action is funded thank you okay thank you you're welcome um so go two we have um expanded learning
114we have student Support Services student attendance services and transformational model social emotional Wellness so you'll see um what was originally budgeted what the total expenditures are and then the remaining balance our total budget for goal two is 61.7 million um to as of January 31st we have spent 28.2 million leaving 33.4 million a balance questions about go Tu goal three is to strengthen parent and Community Partnerships through effective communication for Student Success so we have three actions in goal three parent engagement communication to our educational partners and Community engagement um the total budget for go three was 4.5 million um of which we have 337,000 um $31 remaining goal four is to provide professional learning to build the capacity of all staff to enhance learning so we have five actions in goal four the first
115four actions are implementing uh the multi-tier system of support for professional learning uh um goal four action 4.1 it's focused on extra Services which is um for professional development for teachers who may attend summer training or training outside of their work day um 4.2 is focused on contracts uh for vendors that provide professional development for us such as Gary SoDo or thinking maps um 4.3 is for conferences and 4.4 is for substitutes so that teachers can be released from the classroom to attend and um trainings that happen throughout the school year during the school day and 4.5 is for our induction teachers we have induction teachers that work with all all of our new teachers who go through a two-year induction uh program before they can clear their credential so um these induction teachers will
116Coach them enter them and um um engage in best practices for teaching with them and so of the 13.9 million um dollars that was budgeted for go four we have a little over $4 million remaining any questions SP go four okay actually actually I'll ask it at the end I it's a good question to um goal five is for La Familia and um it is a equity multiplier um goal because La famili has a um a higher non-stability rate meaning their um more than 25% of their students don't um don't um begin and end the school year at law Familia so they call that non-il rate and a High um low low income rate they qualify for this Equity multiplier lcff funding and so they are their goal is to improve their student outcomes that
117are reported on the California dashboard by using the multier system of supports and specifically they are looking to increase their graduation rate uh their percentage of students who are College and Career ready when they graduate and also their um performance on the Casp Ela and math State tests so of their $ 24,26 budget um they have total expenses of 9,791 113,000 $7 remaining so this is the impact of a state budget on the District budget as reflected in our lcap when the district adopted the lcap in June uh on June 27th 2024 the state budget was not complete and so funding amounts were preliminary preliminary estimates and when the state finalized their budget of the impact um for cvsd is shown here as follows so for our total overall lcff funding the impact was a
118reduction of $ 45,8 34 for our lcff supplemental concentration funds which are generated based on our enrollment of English Learners a low-income students and Foster youth um the actual enrollment numbers um now that we have the actual enrollment numbers it reflects a difference in the in the preliminary um allocation of and it reflects a difference of $261,100 or uh money that will be carried over is that is that what I'm hearing or no no what you're hearing is so every year when we build the alcat budget we're basing it on a projection of the following Year's enrollment and um and then when we get the actual enrollment we see um if the num you know where the numbers sometimes we have an increase sometimes we have a decrease in the lcf dollars once the once
119the state budget is finalized and we have our actual enrollment numbers but when we bring it when we when we bring it to the board in June the state budget isn't finalized until July by July 1st so we're using our best preliminary estimate of our state funding cor correct but um we do have higher enrollment numbers correct SP uh this is based on October 1st um CED when they do the enrollment okay yeah right thank you nothing further you're welcome I have a question so on under most goals you have a remaining um balance which is good we're not overspending on every goal um are we expecting to utilize all that money that remains what are your projections sort of between now and the end of the school year where might we end with those
120remaining fund balances we are expecting to use those funds on this year students um where where we won't have um use use all of the funds is is where we have vacancies um throughout the different actions in the alc cap and and some are lcff funds some are some are title 3 funds some are title blind they're all they're all different budgets do you have an estimate of you know how much maybe we might end up and then what happens with those um those balances do they carry forward to the next L cup or we know we've been working on it we're working on um fiscals working on their second interim will have a better idea um what we have um what might be able to be carried over um for all of for lcff
121for all the categorical budgets as well just and I'll go back and remind that we changed that a few years ago that before you make those changes it has to come back to the board for approval to see if we agree with where you want to spend the money or how you want to carry it over because again they were voted on for specific right purpose and in the past the very past before when it all started out um we would never see that and so that that's the reason for that is to see what what we didn't spend it on and then what you want to spend it on can you plan to finish using the money that the board feels that it's in the same Spirit of how we originally voted to use
122it for students or for whatever whatever reason right okay so moving forward um in the sh elcap process right now we're in the input and development for the 2526 lcap so in this month and last month we have been seeking our um input from educational partners and we are continuing to do the um program the analysis for program Effectiveness which is largely what the minor elcap is when we uh when we State what's the implementation of each action and what is the effectiveness and in February March and April we are Drafting and sharing the 2526 lamp and then we moveing into the share and refine phase in April and May we will present the 2526 draft to the board and our advisory committees and then bring back the input and feedback and refine the elap
123in May and June uh June 12th we bring it to the board for the public hearing and then June 26th we will bring the 2526 elap back for uh approval and then submit to RCV by June 30th which is required the input that we um collected uh that included staff yes we're right we're currently working on our all of our elcap surveys are active for staff and families and students and I and I'll share those numbers with you um in just a minute what the participation rates look like but yes that is part of it but also um we are including the feedback we get from the listen and learn tours and our alab advisory groups as well as um other advisory such as daac and students um question I'm curious to curious to know
124about the participation rates um yes I don't know you'll show that later so um this is our elap Road Show and so each site has committed to having at least one elap presentation for their families and they have a representative from the district who supports them with that and then the families um have the opportunity to do the El cup survey um currently a thousand families have have completed the survey um our staff we will provide at school sites departments and at Services all collaborate to um provide the elcap road show presentation to staff both classified and certificated um sites sh the presentation with their certificated and classified staff yesterday um and then we again we provide them with the opportunity and the time to complete the elcap survey so um yes as of this
125afternoon 673 certificated staff had completed the survey and 41 classified staff the classified elcap survey was revised and it and it opened this today so that's why the numbers are are so different and then and um for students in grades 4 through 12 um they receive the elcap presentation and then during their seal lesson this week in school they had the opportunity to do the lcap survey and So currently we have um the student over 2,000 students have completed the elcap survey as of this afternoon our goal of course is for 100% of our family staff and students to to um complete the survey so that we have great inut and feedback from all of our educational partners and any questions I think Mr arand had com question no actually uh my question was exactly
126what Miss uh trusty pass had so just want to know if we had money left you know because some of these uh goals had money left over I wanted to make sure it is and it's it's still early to tell as well because we do have you know four more months of school remaining and and the numbers that we're pulling are um from Galaxy which can l a month or two behind as well so we don't want to jump the gun and then not in you know having the money we need for those actions thank you is Staff tasked um I know last year uh all the sites were of like tasked or challenge to meet a certain goal or are staff still engaging okay great yes at staff and students and and um students
127are rewarded with PBS rewards if um you know when they complete it or they have or their parents complete it as well so we still have incentives yes yes anybody else have any other questions seeing none thank you very much appreciate it you're welcome right let's get to it um item 7.1 action Dr sparza California school boards Association sub region 18a delegate Assembly Election um we are asked to vote for how many of them I believe it was see have it here we are asked to vote for six on this list I will take suggestions of anyone wanting to uh obviously I would recommend we support our locals who are on here we we just s make a recommendation or yeah I mean there's any however we want to do this is again the only
128one I would recommend is Madonna she's a board member at Palm Springs unified also happens to work for us so I would recommend that we vote for her and then um pick whoever else you want yes I'm good that anybody else have any recommendations or suggestions I'm going just pick them and you guys will say okay that's a good idea trying to think if there's districts that are kind of similar to us maybe demographics or I mean y That's why I asked if you guys had any suggestions you just go down the list of names and you guys could say yes or no huh um uh Douglas Corona from Paris unified Elementary School District Cleveland Johnson from Maro Valley you Unified School District Joseph kraski from tacul Valley Unified School District uh Nicholas uh Pari
129from mariett Valley Unified School District uh Kenneth pra from Hemet David Sanchez from bont Steve Schwarz from Tula Valley um Nancy Young from Etta um Parris Bowmont kind of like ours but so are the other ones in some cases well we don't necessarily have to select the six I think if we just feel comfortable maybe voting for one the one and then we can do that too you know this is um this is a very interesting methodology of how we're going to endorse the candid we know nothing of these people brought up school districts that are pretty interesting right now right you start talking about tula and U the situation over there I think um and and then again you know as we participate in in uh csba you know the budgetary challenges that we
130have I know I went last year I started looking around the room I can't imagine how much money we spent uh the district spent I'd like to see that number I don't know is it 25 3500 bucks ahead and and and and it was just a lot of money and a lot of resources and maybe maybe well spent maybe not I think we need to look at all of this in a different lens especially where we're at but I think in picking these candidates I would I would task our superintendent uh to make a recommendation of who she might support and why right rather than us looking at a list of names that I know nothing about any of these people right um but u i just to remind you they have bios that were
131attached to the agenda item we've had them since Monday yeah I know nothing about any of these people aside from the bio right and I've never worked with anybody there I I don't I obviously our employee I would support her I don't I personally would probably abstain from voting for anybody else that's my personal do you want to just make a recommendation we only vote for the one I would there anybody else on the list that you guys that's some if that's I know a bunch of them but again it's just my own personal opinion so that's why I'm saying I'm fine with voting with one huh I'll recom I'll make the motion and I'll accept that as a friendly Amendment Mr COA to add those two so you're talking about Mr PR and Mr
132Sanchez and Miss gr right those three just those three that's a motion that's a second Miss Garcia that's Motion in a second to just support those three you good or do you know I mean I'm looking at the BIOS call the question Mr qu you good we have a motion in a second to endorse Mr PR Mr Sanchez and Miss gerell from Palm Springs UniFi all those in favor I just speak all those opposed motion carries to uh so you can do this uh for uh M gell Mr PR from Hemet and Mr Sanchez from B just those okay all right okay moving on item 8 8.1 uh principal Williams adoption of board resolution for Mr Williams yes um 20 25-35 authorization to add cheerleading to the Coachella Valley Unified School District as a CIF
133sanction support a motion a second I have a motion in a second any questions yeah um it says here that there's no fiscal impact however doesn't this change the sport a bit and would there be any Associated expenses as a result so what happens is that every school has a budget for their sports program they would be able to be included what they've been doing is they've been fundraising and they've been trying to get organizations to help them just like they have like for camp and stuff like that and they've also come and asked us to be able to pay for their camps um and so this will give them an opportunity to actually be funded through the sports program at the school what I also see in a program like this is this could
134this could Trend in a lot of excitement and I mean here at CB High School we're all you know look at our football program and the revenue that it generates just because the community comes out and supports it and I it's kind of an exciting proposition cheerleading this could I know I I just seems like something that could get going and become you know something that would attract people to come and support you know the concession stand and the tickets at the door but I think you know there's a lot of expertise put into this work and a lot of commitment by the young ladies and the coaches and I think this is kind of cool that we're formalizing and that we can support such a program it also gives them the opportunity to enter
135um more Elite competitions sure and again while this was assuming initiated by CV High School this would affect all our district not just C high school so and then obviously as a coach as an authorized or a sanctioned sport um that would go U the stien for a coach would be fall in line with just all the others reports that would have so they would automatically be part of that as well so uh that would be or to pick up the costs where you talking about some of the costs so any other questions all those in favor all those opposed motion carries uh item 8.2 uh principal selo requesting approval of purchase increase with ODP business solutions for Desert Mirage High School motion I have a motion do I hear a second I have a
136motion and a second any questions on this seeing none all those in favor all those opposed motion carries item 8.3 the director Gonzalez requesting approval of purchase with go for sport for sports fitness Fitness professional development and curriculum quotes uh qt1 18875 2 professional development and quote 95799 subscription and then the quote 758 uh equipment packs do I hear a motion for motion do I hear a second I have a motion and a second do we have any questions what's this note that says uh it's for a year six-year adoption option um one of the documents one of the quotes it says uh pricing on this foot is for sixy year adoption but is it are we um it's not are we um what's the word I'm sorry this isn't like a contract like we're
137bound to like have this for six years it's just that the pricing that we're [Music] getting I I can answer that um so it is a six-year plan so it's a purchase for six years um the issue right now is that what we have right now it's outdated it's 15 years old the plan does come with um professional development and in the past instead of sending our certificated classified and contract staff out they're actually going to come to the district and train them here so that alleviates that travel cost um another addition to purchasing the six-year plan was that it was less expensive than not and then as the curriculum updates then we get the updated curriculum oh well but it's a one-time expense or are we paying every year onetime expense so to the
138once we pay this 250,000 that's it for 6 years correct thank you you're welcome unless we need to replace equipment just to be fair they bust the ball they're going to have to replace it so it's not totally not all right any other questions seeing none all those in favor student try uh any oppos motion carries item it .4 um director Gonzalez requesting approval of purchase with 95% group for elop summer programming 2025 Elementary to 8th grade summer programming curriculum do I have a motion some do I have a second have second any questions on this no seeing N I have a quick question this is just for summer school correct this curriculum is just for summer school right yes okay and we're not going to have any more because this is a k through
139eth one so that would cover all of that yes we do have one that um is going to be coming and that's corrective reading uh so what this is and if I can have um Karina de laa come up and further explain this because 95% is geared for a certain um grade level which I believe is K through 2 and it teaches the foundational skill and then comes corrective reading I didn't mean you to come up and do a presentation just wanted to ask and if there was any more coming for summer school the corrective reading okay sorry don't need a whole explanation so does that mean that it can only be used by summer school that was my question if this is only for some yeah well I think I'm reading the question separately
140like yeah we're purchasing purchasing it um for summer school but what happens we have the curriculum what happens throughout the year how else might it be used are there plans I mean it doesn't make sense to have curriculum just sitting there so uh good evening everyone we are this is like a onetime purchase and the only things that would have to be repurchased anytime we want to use the curriculum again is the consumables which are not very expensive but we can use it for every summer school that we have this is a program that is focused on foundational routines and rating foundations and we can use it for tier one and tier two tier one to supplement the instruction and phic awareness phonics uh vocabulary we had an opportunity to see the program in action
141in Hemmet and it's a very Su successful program it is designed for grades Kinder through fifth grade but for third through fifth would be for the students that do not qualify for corrected reading because their reading abilities are extremely low so it is a program that we can use during the school year and it's a program that we can also consider to use for after school program uh it is extremely powerful in the reading foundations and learning to read increasing vocabulary and academic language so if we continue to use a program the only thing that we would have to purchase if we run out of is the consumables that students use but the program includes a an online component it also includes Hands-On activities and it also includes a section where teachers can uh create
142or not create but utilize the lessons that are already made for them for even extra intervention during the classroom for during the intervention time thank you have a question I so um if there's an opportunity for us to utilize this curriculum throughout the year but only St the only stuff that's trained to implement is a summer school stuff or is that something that would align with like our curriculum strategies we use throughout the year so the idea would be that we we train all teachers especially in the lower grades because we do have a pretty powerful uh we are right now piloting correct reading which would be the IDE program to have because of the level of instruction and also Improvement within the the program and for 95% it would have to be uh something
143that we put in place for training but we would also be uh ready to provide that training for our teachers and coaches and principles thank you anybody else all right Sena thank you very much all those in favor I student truste all any opposed motion carries is our next one item 8.5 principal satell requesting approval of purchase with Amazon business Prime for band equipment for Desert Mirage High School do I hear a motion all motion do I hear a second I'll second I have a motion in a second any questions on this seeing none all those in favor all those opposed motion carries item 9.1 director mukin approval of resolution uh 202-31 piggyback s piggyback uh San berino City Unified School District Lakes Shore contract bid number 22-17 do I hear a motion a motion
