Item A, 45day budget update. Mr. Korea. >> Good evening, uh, President Wright, board members, and interim superintendent Dr. Blackmore, executive cabinet, cabinet, committee members, and guests. Uh, tonight we'll be, uh, pleased to present the 2526 45day uh, budget update. Uh, as always, we start by showing you where we're at in the annual financial cycle. This is, uh, depicted by the orange bubble. Uh, this is the 45day revision. Uh so just so you so so you know um we are required by state law uh to present a 45day revision to the board of education uh only on years where there have been
015significant changes from the May revision to the final state adopted budget. Uh we have not done a 45day uh revision in about two years. This is the first time uh and since those two years that there has been significant changes uh from the May revision. >> Okay. So um as Mr. Crazy said that there had been significant changes in the final state enacted budget. One of them being the student support and professional development discretionary block grant. Although this grant was included in the May revision, it was um recommended to us by school services of California and Los Angeles County Office of Education to not include it because it was a little um volatile whether we were going to receive it or not. So um this grant is a one-time allocation and is available for use
016through June 30th, 2029. Um since preparing this presentation, the state has released its own preliminary allocations for this grant which is an estimated to which is estimated to be about 3,282,000. So slightly lower than school services preliminary um or estimated allocations. Um this grant is um spending uses are discretionary to the district. The next one is the learning recovery emergency block grant. Um the district originally was allocated these funds in 2223. However, in 2223 the state pulled back about 378.6 million statewide um and then they promised to eventually give it back to us and that's what's happening now. Um so included in the enacted state budget is the restoration of the um 378.6 million or 820,000 that's coming to Kovina Valley. These funds will be used to fund the K5 intervention teachers for the 2526
017fiscal year. Um another um additional revenue that we will um incorporate in our first interim is the traditional uh transitional kindergarten ratio LCFF add-on. Um, the districts re districts receive an add-on amount for their TK ADA. The rate has increased from $2,397 to 5,545 per ADA. This is an approximate increase of about 943,000 ongoing for Coina Valley. However, along with the increase in revenue, the state is also requiring all TK classes to be staffed at a 10 to1 um studentto adult ratio beginning in the 2526 school year. Based on preliminary projections, this is an estimate increase of about a million dollars in additional staffing costs. The final um grant that's saw some changes in the final state enacted budget was the expanded learning opportunities program. um the or ELOP ELOP is ELOP is funded off
018two rates. The rate one um unduplicated pupil percentage was revised to make any district with an unduplicated pupil percentage of more than 55% eligible for it. Previously was at 75%. Um this means that in 2526 Coina Valley will now be a rate one district. Um the requirements to be a rate one districts are that we are required to offer and provide access to ELOP programs to all TK through sixth grade students. Previously we were only required to offer ELOP services to our unduplicated students for TK through 6. Um the state has allowed a one-year grace period for all districts transitioning from rate one uh to rate one, sorry. Therefore, this requirement will go into effect um 2627 for Kabina Valley. Um the district will then need to offer stu um these services and programs to
019students of approximately 5,400 students. Um currently the state is oops currently the state is estimating that our new allocation for ELUP will be 10.5 million. Um this is an increase of about 3 mil 1 million from 2425. Um, this funding can only be used to provide before and after school services to students in grades TK through six. Um, in 2425, the district incurred approximately 5 million um, dollars worth of costs of direct services for students in the ELOW program and approximately 2.4 million of overhead costs. Um, the district will use this school year to plan for the next school year um, in providing these services to the additional TK through six students. Any questions or comments from the board? >> Thank you. >> Yeah, >> thank you very much. >> Item B, summer school update
0202025. Dr. Pedes. >> Good evening. Um, I'd like to invite um three of our directors of ed service uh Dr. Dalton, Dr. Katanic, and um Danielle up to the um front and give an overview of our summer school for the 2025. Good evening, board president Wright, members of the board, Dr. Blackmore, members of cabinet, and guests. We're here this evening to share a sum a summary of our summer school and extended school year programs. Here's our summer school enrollment and our extended school year enrollment by gradspan. This summer we served 3,27 students. Most of the students participated in our summer school which was a remediation program for students in grades K through 8 and a credit recovery or original credit program for high school students. Our summer school pro program included general education students, special
021education students, and English learners. In addition, students that qualified for extended school year through their IEP attended extended school year programs where students worked on maintaining skills. At the elementary level, we provided intervention and remediation for students that are below grade level. We concentrated on key standards for the grade level the student just completed so that they were better prepared for their next grade level. For language arts, we used SRRA reading kits and teacher selected lessons to build reading stamina, reading comprehension, and reading independence. This year, we offered small groupoup EL through a pullout program with students with lessons created by by our amazing EL Tossa, Karen Huff. The EL students worked on listening and speaking, reading, and writing. For math, we selected one key concept for each grade level and used brick math and
022teacher selected lessons to practice that one skill. The math standards we focused on were counting and cardality, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The SRRA reading lab kits we use during summer school are Lexileleveled. The Lexile system measures a student's reading ability using the complexity of the text on a common scale. Lexile scores range from zero level for beginning readers to 1600 level for advanced readers. Each SRRA reading lesson assesses the students Lexile level and students move up through lessons and Lexiles throughout the summer. We began summer school with our kinder students averaging a Lexile of 90 and ended with an average of 120. Kindergarten math focused on counting and cardality through patterns, 10 frames, skip counting, and the concepts of more and less. Students were assessed using a Coina Valley teacher made assessment based on
023the content standards for kindergarten. Our kindergarters began summer school 66% proficient and ended summer school 85% proficient. Our incoming first grade students began summer school with a Lexile average of 120 and ended with an average of 209. An on-grade level first grader for your reference should read at a Lexile of 300 or more. First grade math focused on addition using place value, decomposing numbers, and students were assessed using a teacher created standardsbased assessment. Our first graders began summer school 47% proficient and ended 73% proficient. We began summer school with our second graders averaging a Lexile of 340 and ended with an average of 409. And those second graders focused on subtraction by decomposing numbers and using 10 frames. Using that teacher created standardsbased assessment. 58% of our second graders were proficient at the beginning of
024summer school and 83% were proficient at the end. Our third graders be began summer school with an average Lexile of 496 and ended with an average of 544. An on-grade level third grader should reach a Lexile of 600 or above during their third grade year. Those third graders also worked on the concept of multiplication for math using models mostly. Our teacher created standardsbased assessment showed that 60% of third graders were proficient at the beginning of summer school and 82 were proficient at the end. We began summer school with our fourth grade students averaging a Lexile of 568 and ended with an average of 625. Our fourth graders worked on the concept of division using equal shares. We started with an average of 61% proficient and ended with an average of 80% proficient. and now middle
025school. >> The summer's academic focus in English language arts and English language development for grades 6 through 8 emphasized critical reading, literacy analysis, and language development. Students engaged with highquality literary works through study sync supported by targeted instruction aligned in our CASP preparation. And English learners also benefited from EL support using the 3ED framework, reinforcing foundational skills and strengthening academic language to assess grade level content. All grade levels showed solid growth in reading comprehension over summer school. Sixth grade improved by 17 percentage points, seventh grade by 19, and eighth grade by 14 points. This growth reflects the effectiveness of targeted instruction and focused practice during summer. For math, we focused on building strong number sense with fractions and integers across all grade levels. We use Alex and UCI math programs to provide personalized and standard
026aligned practices. In grade six, we focused on understanding and modeling fractions and mixed numbers, converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages. In grade seven, we worked on the mastery of fraction operations and conversions with mixed numbers. And in grade eight, we worked confidently with integers, locating, comparing, and performing all different operations. Sixth grade showed a solid 12point growth from pre-to post test, demonstrating strong gains in the foundational fraction and number sense skills. Seventh grade growth was modest at two points and it indicated a need to reinforce fraction operations and conversions in future instruction. And for eighth grade, uh only post- test data was available due to a pre-est link being inadvertently used in its place. And while the baseline data is missing, analysis of the post- test shows that 55% of our eighth grade students show
027grade level proficiency in those standards. This was our first time also offering the CTE summer camp and it was a strong success. Two host schools, both South Hills and Coina High School offered diverse programs that engage students across multiple career pathways. Over 80 students performed awesome operations and programs spanning business arts, I'm sorry, business arts, healthc care, aviation, and stage production. The variety of programs reflects our commitment to hands-on learning and exposing students to real world career options early on. We look forward to expanding and building upon this foundation in future summers. Here you can see our CTE summer camp gave middle school students hands-on exposure to a lot of our highinterest pathways. It helped them build confidence, explore interests, and start thinking about their future before they even began high school. We also offered
028a broad range of courses in high school to meet the diverse needs and interests from a core academics to career technical education. Advanced and preap coursework provided opportunities for students to challenge themselves to prepare for college level work. Career readiness and credit recovery options ensure that all students had pathways to graduate on time and have the relevant skills to be successful. EL and literary supports were also offered to address language development and academic skills for English learners. Our offerings included both traditional subjects and specialized courses like welding, metal fabrication, and personal finance to prepare students for college and their careers. This summer also marked the first time that we offered credit recovery classes specifically designed for special education students with the goal of increasing access to a TOG aligned instruction and helping students to stay
029on track without compromising the support or rigor of those classes. We offered math 1 and math 2 in small group settings and with targeted instructions focused on foundational skills and confidence building. We also reopened comp one, two, and three to help students meet their English A throughG requirements by focusing on critical reading, writing, and analysis. And based on the success of this first offering, we also are exploring ways to expand and scale this model to better support students moving forward. This summer, we also offered it offered targeted support for English language learners through two key programs, ELD 1A and 2A, which built foundational literacy skills and communication skills for emerging English learners aligned with reclassification criteria and A throughG readiness. In addition, we offered section of Avid Excel to support our English learners by strengthening
030academic language confidence and college readiness. These opportunities provided access to language development and position students for reclassification, graduation, and post-secondary success. Okay. Our extended school year program also focused on English language arts and math. Students were provided with grade level curriculum which was modified and/or accommodated to target individualized goals. Additionally, students worked on other skills as indicated on their IEP such as daily living skills, fine and gross motor, speech, language, and behavior. ESY services are provided in the areas the student has demonstrated a regression of skills during extended breaks and a limited ability to recoup those skills. The purpose of ESY services are to um in special education is to prevent significant regression of skills for students with disabilities during school breaks. Our teachers and support staff collected data during the extended school year to
031monitor school student progress. The chart reflects performance on goals in English language arts. Overall, 62% of students maintained their skills while 18% demonstrated growth toward their goals. For 20% of students, insufficient data was available to determine progress and this was primarily due to attendance challenges. In the area of math, 65% of students maintained skills, 14% demonstrated growth toward their goals, and for 21% of students, not enough data was collected to determine progress. The goals represented in this chart vary depending on individual student needs, but include areas such as behavior and prevocational ski. Overall, 76% of students maintained their skills, while 17% made progress. And for 7% of students, there was not enough data collected. Overall, our program provided a valuable academic experience and included opportunities for students to socialize and build meaningful connections. Summer school
032supports academic recovery and readiness, especially in key areas like math and literacy. It also provides structure, social connection, and enrichment at a time when some students need it most. For many, it builds confidence and closes gaps before entering the next grade level. >> Thank you. Do you have any questions? Board of Education. >> Cream. >> Shaving cream, I think. Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Question. Do you know what um the English language development looked like at the elementary level? >> Yes. It was a pullout program with specific teachers that were working in small groups with students and the lessons were created by our eel Tossa Karen Huff. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> I just wanted to say thank you. Um I feel like every year our summer program gets bigger. Um, it's amazing
033that we are providing them with an opportunity to get hands-on experience for a lot of our technical um, education programs that we have to offer. And honestly, I feel like they probably in at middle school, they probably really enjoy that more than sitting in a classroom. Um, and maybe that program can definitely grow and and we could get more more students next year. Thank you. >> Thank you guys. >> Thank you. Item 12, information item eight, Williams quarterly report. Dr. Pedes, >> there's nothing to report. >> Thank you. Item 13, public comments at this time. Any person wishing to speak on any agenda items will be granted three minutes. Miss Robas, >> do we have any public comments? No. Thank you. Item 14. Superintendent Dr. Blackmore.
