001Dr. Goldman. Okay, Miss Cassie. Hold on. Let me to the republic which stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, Dr. Ingram. Um, moving on in our agenda item 3.3, we do not have any items to report out of closed session. Um, on section 4.1, is there a motion to approve the agenda for tonight's meeting? You have a motion. Second. Any comments or questions on that? Hearing none. All those in favor? I. Thank you. Motion carries 4 Z. Wendy, do we have any comments from the public on items on our agenda tonight? We do not have any. Okay, great. Thank you. Moving on to special presentations. Item 6.1, we have a special presentation on the annual local indicators report by Miss Maggie Mayberry. So, we will her up and
002now she now she's on, right? I am on a little bit delayed, but I am on. I am going to attempt to share my screen on WebEx so that we can go over the annual local indicators, but a good old plus Texas Are we able to access it? Let's see. There we go. Very strange watching your screen. Technology. Got to love it. Do we have to love it? Well, Maggie was certainly on time. I was on. Sorry, I was on. I hit a button and it took me off. I apologize. But so if you click share at the bottom and then it should ask you what screen you want to share. Yeah, I'm there. Oh, there you go. Got it. There we go. Okay. Awesome. Can we see and then go full save? I'm gonna
003go here, add my actual screen. There we go. You see it? Yes. You know, Maggie, to to improve your audio, you may want to turn off your camera. Oh, okay. There we go. Awesome. Let me All right, perfect. Thank you. All right, so this is our annual indicators presentation. And it's it's one of those things that you know in our previous LCAP presentations we do go over and get many of our data points from the actual state of California from data points that we drive within our own you know students being assessed but these are our local indicators and ones that we get to choose as a group how we are doing and we actually self assess ourselves and the eight priorities of the um that the state provides us to pro to give input
004on. So, it's a little bit of like a selfch check of how we're doing as we just a quick reminder on our five LCAP goals. I know we did this at our last meeting as well, but I'll give you a quick minute to read through these. And what our priority metrics are going to be for our local indicators is we're going to actually be measuring our instructional materials, our facilities that our students and our community work within. Um, you know, information that our teachers provide us, how we implement the state standards, the professional development that we do, engagement we have through our partners, our communications, our parents, you know, our entire community um through different client or through different surveys that we provide both our community, our parents and our teachers as well. And then
005access to a diverse set of coursework that we provide our students. So, a quick reminder of our of our populations that we are talking about within the LCAP is our 2524 students. Our English learners are, as you can see, down 2% from our previous years. Our students with um with disabilities up almost close to 5% this school year. And then our economically disadvantaged. So these are the three subgroups that we focus on a lot within our LCAP and again within our local indicators. And just a quick reminder of where we are at on our dashboard. So in our basic conditions local indicator, we have 0% of our T teachers on miss assignment, which is fantastic. 0% of students without access to or excuse me, a 100% of our students have access um blanket head to
006our instructional materials and schools not in good repair. We have actually zero of our schools. So I apologize for that typo in the middle. 100 is correct. 100%. Yeah. Oh, no. You're right. Zero% of students% of students without access. Sorry, I'm reading my screen and nervous from talking. I apologize. No, that's No, that's right. Without access. It's correct. That's right. Good. That's weird. And then our implementation of our state standards. So, this is done through our surveys to our teachers. So 83% of our staff agree that the district and school leaders support school and staff professional learning and 86% of staff report that professional learning opportunities do have a positive impact on our students and their teaching which is great. That's fantastic data to have as a district. And as you can see we've met
007these as well through our instructional materials practices and learnings. And we break these up by our subject areas. And as you can see in ELA and EL we have assess set of three four in mathematics you know we the new adoption of our new elementary me uh textbook our history and social science at a two CTE is one is at a one and this actually was a little bit of guidance from LEO being that um you know we're not a high school district and so we don't have the teachers with the with the correct credentials teaching you know in actual CTE classes, but that is something that we're working on as you've noticed through our um in within our LCAP. A PE of four, our VAPA of four, and then world languages at a three.
008So, we have met this standard as well on our local indicator. I love seeing those green check marks. And then as well in our family engagement, we have met the standard. As you can see, all the different groups that we have within our community that come together to provide us input through our, you know, LCAP committee members, our educational partners committee, our school site counselors, our school site councils, our PTAs, WF, um, our DELock and ELOC committees, the counseling support that we provide, our, you know, variety of parent nights that we have from back to school night to conferences to openhouse, the volunteering. We got an overwhelmingly positive response about how welcoming our campuses are to our community. And then the equity and inclusion data collection surveys, you know, focus groups and input sessions that
009we have throughout the school year as well as the numerous amounts of communications that we send out through our web page, you know, our comm our um social media pages like every time we go on. It looks fantastic. And then coffee talks that our principles are having at their school sites. So here is some real data for us. We have a hund we had over 131 constant contact messages to stakeholders. That was in early May. 367 social media messages. Um we're in the process of a new communications plan and uh almost onboarding a new program. Our satisfaction with school and district communication to our parent and community members is at 82%. And satisfaction for opportunities for input is at 74 and then 80% for participation opportunities. So, as you can see, that's an overwhelmingly positive
010response, giving us that met goal. Clapping. Okay, I know that is that is a celebration. And I'm going to hand the mic for a minute over to Dr. Ingram. Thanks, Maggie. Good evening. Um, so I'll talk a little bit about our school climate data. Some of this will look a little familiar from um our last meeting. comes from the same metrics, our California Healthy Kids survey data, our community survey, um, and our attendance and discipline data. Um, so we'll start with that first box, top box on the left, SCCL support. Um, our elementary students, 72% of them responded positively to questions like um, resolving conflicts, acting responsibly, and fostering respect. And this is slightly down from last year, which was 76%. Um but all of our teachers reported um that schools support students social, emotional
011and behavioral needs. And this is up from last year's 89%. So we see improvement there. In terms of school connectedness, 75% of our elementary students responded positively to questions like, "Do you feel close to people at school? Do you feel safe at school? Are you happy with this school?" Um, and this is slightly up from last year's 74%. With middle school, we see that 58% of students agreed with statements like, "I feel like I'm a part of this school." Um, teachers at school treat students fairly. And this is um slightly down from 61% from last year. Um, 80% of teachers said that they agree that the school is supportive um and an inviting place to work. And this is up from 76% from last year. Our parents um agreed that Wiseburn offers opportunities for family
012involvement. So that is really great to see. Moving on to the caring adults domain. 72% of elementary students said that teachers care about them, listen to them, and get to know them. Um this is up slightly from 71% last year. 60% of our middle school students said that teachers notice when they're absent and listen to them. And this is also up from last year's 58%. 95% of of adults um of teachers, I'm sorry, said that adults at school um really care about every student. And this is slightly up from last year's 94%. And then 86% of parents agree that teachers care about students. Um so definitely some some improvements, some spaces to grow um and kind of explore how um we can improve in certain areas. Same with attendance. Um our ADA um as of
013P2, so like the start of April was about 94.5%. Um that was slightly down from last year's 94.8%. Chronic absenteeism as um the dashboard report. So this reflects last year's chronic absenteeism um is down 10 point to 10.3% from 16.1%. So we saw a big improvement there. So just a couple points I want to share you know Dr. your goal mean you you've asked too about like we talk about the scorecard and and dashboard dashboard scorecard some of these metrics will then be because I know last time you had indicated because there's no uh no goal line so part of this right so part of this is we will take some of this data and start creating those um those goals and those those trend lines I want to also comment on ADA um although
014it's showing a 94 and a half right now um we do suspect to see some some increase um to that based on some corrections that's happening were you going to am I taking your thunder. Go ahead. Okay. Um based on some some stuff we're taking from some corrections we're making at the middle school um and some of our and and one of our elementary schools at least as well as we haven't claimed the LO dollars yet. That will also be part of the the second um the reertification. Half percent maybe. I hope it's a half percent. I hope it's one. Yeah, I would. Yeah. The the more the marrier for sure. Learning opportunity program. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. with our um independent study. When students miss school, they have up to 15 days where they can
015um we'll provide them with instructional material. Just for everybody's benefit, the relevant of ADA is funding. You know, we get paid on the kids in school. So the 1% is what is that close to $300,000? Yeah, that's material. Just a random question about the learning recovery thing. I know that people signed the thing and there was an opportunity to get particular instruction, but what if a child receives materials from their teacher? Does that count towards the program? Right. So, this year it didn't. Um there are in order to meet the requirements of ed code um we have to make sure that um we just have to make sure that we're doing certain things to be compliant and we we didn't have the capacity to check in with every teacher and their individual assignments for students
016to make sure that we would be compliant with um meeting those requirements. But we are looking into ways where we can do that for next year. Um especially for the middle school like that's the middle school is where we saw the least amount of participation because they already have a strong system set up with their teachers providing them with work um when the students miss school days. Yeah. No, I'm just thinking about like you know when my own child is out I'll email my child's teacher and be like hey can I come by and pick up whatever you guys are doing that day? So like just trying to understand how those programs interact with each other, right? And I mean it's new obviously it's new for teachers too and so um we've been working with
017teachers especially at the elementary students well we've had conversations with them we want to work more with them to just say like can we identify assignments that are essential right and you provide those essential assignments for students so that that leaves room for them to complete this other instructional material online and this is like independent study tends to be a highly auditable audit auditable program um and tend to see penalties on on those. So, we just wanted to be very careful as we rolled it out mid year, even less than midyear, that making sure that at least some of the systems were in place. But definitely, that's a great question. That's something that we've talked about. I know there's been a bit of a a tug. I mean, obviously, what we don't want is like
018a teacher every day to have to provide homework every day for kids because that's just ownorous. I mean, there's just no way um that we can manage that and the teachers can manage that. So, we want to have an opportunity for kids to make up work by having some some skill building and some some reinforcement. But we do know um that there may be some opportunities where you know maybe an assignment that a kid can do at home and that that was assigned. Can we then credit that assignment for the work and we just we just need need to to spend some time working through those um those things. It's that latter part that I was thinking about because I know my own kids, you know, depending on how sick they are, they definitely do
019the assignments before they come back and so they're doing so I would, you know, I want the school to have credit for the teacher took time to give them work and that students did the work. Absolutely. I'm going to go back and do other work. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Monique, in terms of the school connectedness and the caring adults that look at this the percentages from elementary to middle school, there's the significant drop in those. Do we know what that's attributed to? Is it a developmental stage where the students are just a little bit more rebellious or do you not remember do not remember those that are in the throws of this Roger for the conversation because it did look a little odd. Yeah, you know, I think that's a strong possibility. um that that that
020might be the case. I imagine it's it's different factors. Um generally we see the trend. So the California Healthy Kids survey was for third through 8th grade and generally we see the trend that our third graders were the the highest percentages and then that trickles down by the time the students get to 8th grade. Um but for third, fourth, and fifth, we see kind of third grade and then it drops in fourth grade and it goes back up in fifth grade. And same with middle school where like it's the highest in sixth grade, goes down in seventh grade and then goes up like slightly in eighth grade. So um we're seeing the same patterns. Um we can explore why. I think it's interesting that we see increases in with caring adults because capturing kids hearts
021that's what it focuses on, right? Like helps teachers with practices to build relationships with students but that's with students in their classroom. So then with school connectedness where students are asked more broadly about um not just their classroom experiences but experiences across their campus um I think there's room for improvement there to think about ways of how we can expand those relationships that are in the classroom more broadly across the schools. This is this is probably one last component. So, back to the dashboard. I was going to try and beat you to the point. I was going to try and beat you to the peer comparative and the peer comparative would give us context, right? So, great question, Roger. If we saw every other school is dipping in middle school, that would give us context
022to say, okay, this is typical, right? And I think I was going to Yeah, I really was going to going to make a comment and say, I remember at the last you sent me an email after the last meeting and you basically said, you know, what you measure obviously you're paying attention to and it wasn't in those terms. um not those exact words, but I mean the idea is is that part of our our work on the scorecard or dashboard will be, you know, you're looking at this and now you could bring that number whether whether it's a trend that middle schools are scoring at 60% is is less significant than us looking at the 60% and trying to get to 62, you know what I mean? And and really looking at the numbers and
023trying to see ways that we can, you know, whether it be through implementing maker spaces or or or whatnot, you know, to the middle school just to provide some of that connection. Um, that's an area, but if you're not looking at the number, if you're only seeing this one time a year in this meeting, it's less significant. Thanks. All right, Maggie, back to you. All right, so we are giving ourselves a green check for the school connectedness um meeting that requirement. And then the last one that we will be measuring tonight is our access to a broad course of study. And so at our elementary schools with the specialists that we have in our math and reading interventions, our computer science access, music and physical education helps give us that met goal as well as
024our secondary students access to electives that include visual and performing arts, career tech education, steam leadership um and world languages. So we have met that standard and we are officially done with our local indicators. That is that that is the presentation. So, we have met all of them and we will be submitting these along with well hopefully after our LCAP approval tonight um to the county for final approval and then to the California Department of Ed. Any other questions from the board? Thank you, Maggie, for the the presentation. Truly appreciate it. And I know you're in you're in Texas, so thank you. Texas, of course. Happy to be on. Yeah, she has another presentation later, too. Well, then you can stay on. I will be. Thank you, Maggie. So funny. All right. Thank you. Thank
025you, Monique. Appreciate it. Okay. We're going to move on to next presentation, Blake, and uh item 6.2 on our agenda is special presentation on grant writing and development. And joining us today is Bridget. Well, yeah. I want to um if I can just I'm really excited about, you know, this presentation, but more so um excited about the the process and and I just want to sort of couch it by, you know, Rebecca had challenged us, you know, over the last few years, even before you were a board member. um you know, you had reached out and we had had this conversation and and um really appreciate the partnership with the Ed Foundation um and and our ability to try and find um ways to just bolster our grant writing and and look for things and
026um apply for them and really excited to to have Bridget share that may be the wrong presentation. um jump um but um but talk about your wealth of knowledge but but you know one of the things that um you know we were really wanting to do is build the foundation of of our grant writing build build our ability to be able to look at diverse grants that are out there and have sort of the foundation to do that. Um so a lot of the work that we've done early on in this process has been that. So, I don't want to steal your thunder, Bridget, but really, really happy with the work. Um, proud of the work that we've been doing, proud of the work she's been doing, uh, to help support this process. Thank you.
027That was such a lovely introduction. I'm so glad to meet you all. I'm very happy to be here. This is my first time at the offices. So, Wendy gave me a tour earlier and that was really cool to just see where the magic happens. Um, so as Blake said, um, this is going to be a presentation about the grant writing and development consulting that I've been doing for Wise Burn over the past six months. I forgot I have control over this. Okay, great. Okay, great. So, um, that's the purpose of this presentation. I was hired in January um, for a six-month term to support Wiseurn in the grant writing and development efforts. So, we're just going to uh, take a step back. You'll hear a little bit about me, just a revisit in the terms
028of the overview of my role and what that's involved. Um, fill you in on what we've been doing, including some wins that we've already gotten so far, which is pretty exciting. So, yeah. Wins. Yeah, we love wins. We love wins. So, this is a bit about me. Um, my name is Bridget Well. My consulting business is called Bridgewell Insights. I have seven years experience as a professional grant writer. um most recently transitioned into consulting about a year ago. Prior to that, I was working with a national nonprofit organization that focused on educational equity. Um it's called Green Dot Public Schools. Um so I was on a grant writing team um where we helped secure more than $47 million and growing, you know, as we continue to get more wins here. um that I've supported uh
029to help schools get funding from foundations, governments, and individuals. Um so I have a degree in theater, a degree in communication research studies, and education's been a part of my background for a while. I taught at a theater academy. I've supported students applying to college in um shaping the voice of their personal essays. So all of this fuses well, I think, in a grant writing space for me. Um, here we go. I don't know if that worked. Sometimes it takes Okay, point it towards me. Point it this way. I wonder. Take it away. Yeah. Yeah. This is how we had the mic over. It might be because There we go. There we go. Awesome. Okay. So this is just a preview of the grant cycle which also overlaps with what I'm doing at each stage
030of a grant. Oftentimes people think of grant writing just as that central column where it's the writing and editing and submitting of applications but my role is a little more comprehensive than that. So within WiseBurn, I've also been involved in kind of the strategic planning phase u where I've analyzed your LCAP um taken a look at and mapped that to different priority programs that we can get funding for. Um and we'll I'll go into detail about some of this stuff a little later on, but this is just again a preview of the smattering of things that um are involved in the development processes. Okay, great. So, we set some goals for the six-month contract. Um, all of these we fulfilled and a couple of these we exceeded. Um, and again, I'll go into a little
031more detail here, but some things that Wise now has are a live database of research and qualified grant funders. That's um government and foundation funders. uh where there are I can also give you a preview at another time maybe of all the different columns of analysis that went through but um based on we mapped out their uh their funding calendars their different focuses that can sometimes change year-over-year there are different styles of application whether it's invite only or whether it's um an open process so then we also um established actual grant processes from that slide before um just onboarding everyone into this ecosystem um because sometimes it does take a bit of repetition to just get in the groove of what this involves and to do it smoothly. Um, and then for each of the
032grants we've submitted so far, all of those priority programs now have written descriptions, budgets, goals, metrics, and supplementary materials attached. So, we can recycle that hopefully or any um future grants that we apply for that are about those same programs. And I'll mention which programs those are in a little bit, too. Um, so we set a goal to submit at least four to six grant applications during this term, even post onboarding. We actually ended up submitting eight. Um, and we had a goal to at least win one, even though it usually takes like four to six months typically to get a turnaround on that. We actually won four grants so far and the rest are pending. Um, and then lastly, the formal reflection on processes just to make sure that this is accomplishing the goals
033that we want it to accomplish within the district. Um, and then look ahead to any alterations we can make. And I have a slide for that later as well. Any questions so far? Okay. Um, so this is the process I followed during the onboarding piece and um, kind of how we navigated through. I know I alluded to some of this already. um just identifying the priority programs from Wise strategic plan um went into foundation research on boarded the Wiseburn teams into the multi-stage grant processes then we got into activating the grant drafting process for opportunities that both district identified and that I identified just figuring out which ones we wanted to pursue. um then went ahead and submitted those grant applications as they came up and got some results back. And then the next steps
034will be which we've started for a couple of these but the next steps will be to um just manage the implementation of the programs that we pledged to pursue with this new funding. Make sure that the money is all keeping uh being kept track of which involves so many people in this room. So I'm just like yay. It's nice to nice to it's fun in grant writing to see how all of these ecosystems kind of fuse together which is also why it sometimes takes some time to just even for myself to get on boarded to learn all the intricacies of the organization and how people work together and um who to tap for what. So okay next so these this is some data about the submissions and results. Um so as I mentioned we've submitted
035eight applications so far we've won four. There are also four more pending. These focused on arts, specifically musical theater programming. Um, we submitted at least one application for WE and one on behalf of the district. Um, some, as I found in the comprehensive research process, um, some organizations have eligibility stipulations around whether they can support a 501c3 or a district. So, sometimes that guides where we can um, seek funding. Then we also had um some project lead the way grants that we won for science and projects based learning. We have another grant pending with the California Department of Education around CTE for the um for the middle school. So I remember that was one of the metrics that we're hoping to um advance in the coming year. So it's cool that we may have that
036opportunity to build that program out. And then most recently a huge federal grant application we submitted yesterday um for school safety upgrades. So, um, this is a little comparison and I know it's helpful sometimes to have context. Of course, we still have four pending. So, but so far so good. We've won 100% of the grants that we've gotten feedback on so far. Nothing less moving. Well, you know, you later remarkable. Yeah. It's going to be 50, right? But, you know, this is also a good expectation to set, you know, so anytime we exceed, you know, anytime we win one of 10, it's still a good thing. Um but so far we've gotten, you know, all of them. So that's pretty cool. Excellent. Yeah. Thanks. Um and then this is a breakdown of the grants that
037we've secured. Um we have three different grants. These are these are smaller ones. Um because we started kind of slow, just the lowhanging fruit of things that we wanted to go after right away that were timesensitive. So we won three project lead the way grants, one for each of the elementary schools. It supports um training and participation fees for the project lead the way programming and then there will be another opportunity in the fall to get actual cash grants attached to that for um advancement of those programs. And then we also recently won the um arts advancement grant from the LA County Department of Arts and Culture. And so that's going to be focused on musical theater programming next year, building out a section for the middle school um in school programming and then partially
038um supporting the afterchool programming for the spring musical as well. And so that total just shy of um $40,000 so far that we've won. And then these are the ones that are pending. Um, so we have, as I mentioned, one grant pending with the California Department of Education, um, around a media production pipeline for the middle school. That grant, if one, would earn us $75,000 for the coming school year. Um, we also submitted an application to Digital Promise, their League of Innovative Schools. Um, that one isn't technically a grant that's attached, but it would open us up to future funding if they allow us into their pool of members. Then we also have one pending. This is a W submission that I mentioned um for the California Arts Council for musical theater expansions that would
039include elementary school students, build out workshops, and I have a just a little shout out. I have a background in musical theater. It was pretty fun to write about that. Um, and then as I mentioned most recently, we submitted a $500,000 request to the US Department of Department of Justice for school safety upgrades, specifically kind of phase two of the safety initiative that has already taken place or that will take place this summer. So if one this would support um the buildout of a 100 new security cameras across the district including in the sports complex and then um upgrading the door access controls for Delair and Holly Glenn and then so yeah pending right now we have um around $600,000 of like actual funds that hopefully we can win and then digital promise would be
040sort of a longer runway of um of potential support. Okay. Um so this is again we talked a little bit about uh the deliverables that occurred as part of the contract so far. Um there are also some sort of internal systems that were built out to hopefully make this uh make these processes functional and more seamless as time goes on and as more training is conducted. So I've been using a project planning spreadsheet. We have a grant tracker for awards one. There's a set grant handoff process when something is won that um then everyone is looped into essentially a room with um marching orders to then check in frequently and make sure that the spending is on track that the program is on track and if not how we can support um people in getting
041that back on track. um created a data spreadsheet that I think mirrors some I watched the presentation that you all received a couple of months ago and worked with Mon'nique a little on building out um some demographic, academic, social, emotional and school culture data because I um use that a lot in the writing. It again it spans not only talking about the programs but also the rationale behind the programs and um what metrics we hope to advance u through these targeted efforts. Then I mentioned the research document. It's essentially a qualified grants database with over a hundred um qualified names on there and then also conducted some preliminary training for WE and for the district on grant processes which I'm hoping to um reiterate and expand upon later on. So these are just some exciting
042pieces for me that were just sort of my little uh callouts. Um so for the the MSFA application that's middle school foundationmies that's the CTE um application that was a collaboration with Da Vinci AM institute. So, a lot of these grants are actually pretty collaborative, not only within the district, but also seeking out additional partners um where for the most recent safety grant, uh we have letters of support from the local police department, also from um the school site councils that oversees and audit safety, um from Dr. Ingram as a representative of the counseling teams. So, again, it touches a lot of uh different um different stakeholders. And so that was one that early on was kind of exciting for me to learn even more about the Wise Burning ecosystem and its relationship with Da
043Vinci. Um, of course built relationships, just navigated through um, learning everyone's working processes. We submitted a mix of government foundation and independent organizational grants. So they haven't all been in just one category so far. We submitted again county, state, and federal level government grants already. Um, and then again some independent organizations as well. uh the grants so far that we've won have actually benefited every um every school in the ecosystem. So like we the three um product lead the way grants for the elementary schools and the advancement grant uh benefiting the middle school. So, everyone hopefully has gotten um a piece of the pie or will so far. And then, as I mentioned, there are now clear budgets, goals, and language established for the programs that we named that we've submitted materials for so far.
044And then this is thinking ahead. Um I was uh offered the opportunity to extend the contract for another 6 months because usually these processes are ongoing to really build momentum and um help the district just build capacity to go after larger and larger awards and maybe even more frequently. So if that is approved um yes it is just a quick shout out to that. Um these are the plans just you know got to do a quick plug. So um so these are plans for capacity building. I think it would be great to unify the district and W representatives and um get them in the same room in in the strategic planning process so that everyone feels empowered to make decisions and greenlight things that are within their um their purview to approve. Um definitely an
045emphasis on grant management and implementation because we're going to hopefully continue winning awards and needing uh need to be involved in that stewardship process. I would be excited to delve more into data dashboards and the program material standardization as you know because we haven't hit every wise bird program of course yet but um usually it involves just a lot of uh a lot of leg work to make to build out those materials for each of the programs that are prioritized. Um definitely refresh and expand the research to include additional funding names. It's always good to have that kind of um on a consistent basis just make sure that that stays up to date. And then as I mentioned looping WE in on the strategic planning. Um and then there are a couple grants that we
046know are going to come online in the next few months. And by online I mean applications will become available so we can start preparing for as I mentioned the project lead the way grants that can be cash grants for the elementary schools and then um the similar uh similar application as we already won for the elementary schools but one for the middle school as well. Um, we also, um, I've been told that the district wants to pursue the CDE exemplary arts education distinction, which is not cash affiliated, but, um, still requires an extensive application process. And then as I mentioned leveraging ex the writing that we've already um we've already built for future opportunities maybe for the Amedson Foundation as an example if they may they mostly focus on capital requests but I'm hoping maybe
047I'll do a little research into that and see if maybe they'd be willing to support the safety upgrades because um as a one-time cost that could be a good investment for them potentially. And that's that's the that's it. And I am open to any questions you may have. Um, but yeah, I'm I'm proud of the work that we've done so far and it's been really great to work with Wiseburn. Um, I yeah, I'm excited to get to know this community and the people within it. Um, and it's been a really good experience so far. So, thank you for having me. Thank you, B. I know Rebecca has a couple comments. Okay, great. Yes. Um, so Blake mentioned that this has been like a a pet project of mine to try and get the district to
048bring someone like you in um for several years now. So, I'm thrilled. um that you're here um and to hear all about the wonderful things that you've already been able to help us with and I'm looking forward to seeing that um for any of the grants that are too foundation. I am a development professional myself here in Southern California. So, if there's, you know, any um I like I was looking at the Amenson one and I, you know, I I know we know people there and I know there's like a lot of closed grants. So, if I can be helpful um just in reviewing the grants that are, you know, opportunities that are on the list, especially on the foundation side, I'm happy to do that. That would be great. um you know not not
049promising or conflicting myself on these things but I do um but but I'm also happy to just share any insights that I have into those foundations if there's anything that um is there. Um so that was one thing I wanted to say and the second thing I was curious about the Department of Justice grant. I know the federal government has been pulling back a lot of grant programs and you know uh pulling back funding and stuff. So what do you think the chances are on that program? Is it a program that has been impacted at all by Well, yeah, it's interesting you should say that. I I don't know given that it's a Department of Justice grant and that it requires um some level of coordination. This particular grant um had the opportunity for school
050districts to apply as well as like correctional facilities and different things like that. So, it wasn't limited to school districts. Um so given that you know they have language in there to ensure that there is not a punitive focus but given that it's the department of justice I don't know if that particular one um may be under fire I think it may that particular one may be safe. However I did notice that um for the first time I've never seen anything like this which is a little bit uh disturbing honestly. Um there was new language in this grant um where people were required to check a box to say that they would uh collaborate or not inhibit um you know ICE essentially from working with them uh or just you know I've never seen any
051sort of strange uh language like that before and there were other lang there was other just additions to the um just all of the the many grant materials that talked about um rolling back you know different like demographic focuses. Um so I have seen that come into play in that one particularly in terms of the funding being revoked and like the projections. Uh I think that may depend on the programming. I think it remains to be seen maybe that might be harder hit in the arts areas um where luckily we have a lot of local support there. Like I mentioned, the county I think is um is pretty good about funding that. I know there recently on the west side, there was a different grant that they worked on um that was a bit smaller
052that's pending that they recently announced that there were some funds being rolled back from that programming in terms of the pool that's available. Um so that was but with the Department of Justice grant since you asked about it specifically that was the one where I I was uh a bit takenback and many people um even attending this Q&A and this webinar people were all in the comments being like can you please clarify what you mean by this and they just sort of softalled it being like you have to talk to your legal department about what this means but um you know so that was interesting uh that you know the federal government may uh you know kind of dangle funds like that uh with sort of I think an ideological agenda. Um so I don't
053know if that answers your question, but that definitely was something that I had never seen before um in the years I've been doing this, but yeah, thank you. Uh and then I know that we also have a um a con consulting contract with another uh firm that does some of the state like matching funds and grants. So I'm just curious how those program Yeah. King is like how those programs will work together. Okay. You know, and if there's an opportunity maybe for Bridget to talk to the folks at King to see if there's any overlap or support. I just want to make sure that you know they're they're seeking funding on our behalf to match funds for construction projects and you know, all kinds of things, but just um you know, yeah, efficiencies. Um totally.
054Yeah, I'd be happy to lend my efforts and vice versa. if they have info that would help streamline any grants we're pursuing, I would love to have it. Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Any other questions? Just a quick first of all, kudos to you, Rebecca, for your vision. Going back to your executive director day, director days at what that you've had this so good for you and great find here with you, Bridget. Thank you for your good work. Couple very quick questions. Um, for my own knowledge, because I'm not knowledgeable here, are any of these grants annual or renewable and or is that something that we could be looking into such that it's leverable year after year? Yeah, that's a strategy we can definitely apply. I would say it's rarer. Well,
055it it just depends on the usually that would be a foundation award. Um, some of the the federal grant that we just applied for would be a three-year term to use up the $500,000. Um I would say it's it's a little bit rarer and you would have to have maybe a stronger funding relationship to um initiate renewals of um and again usually that's in my experience that usually is kind of programmatic awards or even general operating awards based on um you know a demonstrated track record of stewarding funds well. Uh and then you know again keeping that maintaining that strong relationship with a foundation. Um, some other foundations have uh restrictions around how many years you can be granted by them in a row. I believe that I could be misspeaking, but I think the
056Drown Foundation is like three years on, one year off kind of thing. Um, so there are certain things like that, but that's definitely a strategy we could um I I think that may be part of my many column spreadsheet. um where we make notes about what type of funding procedures that particular foundation has and we can consider that in terms of which ones if you know if all things else are equal um if it feels more strategic to go after one that is renewable. Absolutely. That would be a good relationship to focus on. I'm a big fan of anything we can do that leverages us and builds for the future. Definitely. Definitely. That makes sense. And I'll keep that in mind as I continue to explore additional um names for the list. Yeah. Thank you.
057Okay. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Next, we're going to go on to a special presentation number 6.3 on our agenda for Weisman USD measure EE by our bond program manager Naz. You me welcome to the podium for the 17th. New York is she does look familiar. Everybody take a seat. Sure. You don't want to break. No. Welcome to There we go. Okay. It is update number 17 for anybody. 17. Thank you. The time. Be happy. I'm not here every month doing updates. Can I I just want to before you get started say I had an opportunity. Thank you um to you and I think Greg's in the back. Miguel um had a chance to to go around a few of the a few of the projects all pretty much
058all the projects today um talked to some of the contractors and um just I was sharing with the board it's almost like a war zone at the middle school in aviation now good thing you know um yeah should probably not a good we'll go that's a wrong building I will I will I will check myself next time but but just really zone yeah there's a lot going on um a lot of moving pieces a lot of organiz organizations that are that are sort of navigating various projects. Um, and it was just really like the coordination involved is is extensive, but um, you know, it doesn't seem like it when you see how how how seamless and and efficient people are working and um, just a just a really really sort of uplifting experience to see
059that cuz you know I remember you know Michelle Rebecca when we were excuse me walking the streets um for the um for the bond campaign. Sorry, that's another Were we bl we were literally um knocking on doors, knocking on doors. Yeah, we were canvasing. And part of that process um was the vision, you know, was seeing some of the projects that needed to be done that needed to be done, looking at the master plan, speaking to the master plan, um and seeing that stuff really start coming into fruition is is pretty awesome and amazing. So, yeah, thank you. Wanted to say that. Absolutely. And Blake and I were just discussing this maybe last week or the week before that. It's all almost a blur at this point. Uh we have a lot we have a
060lot of construction happening. We're in the midst of a transformational summer, I would say. I mean, for being such a small district, we have a lot of major construction happening throughout. So, tonight's focus will be more on a showand tell. Um we're going to show you a lot of progress pictures just to bring you up to speed. And as always, we're we're hoping uh happy to conduct um site tours as well if anyone is interested. But things move very quickly. So I'm going to start right away with Holly Glenn Elementary School TK conversion project. That project started in January and we're 85% complete. We're rocking and rolling. We're very close to being done. Most of the the the spaces are essentially complete. Uh we're ahead of schedule, I would say. We're there's a couple items
061that we're tracking. As you can see, for example, in this picture, we have ceramic tile that's completely done. Flooring is done. The epoxy flooring is done. The only thing that was pending here was the installation of the the fixtures. The sink and the the mini toilet, but it's tiny. I wish they would have installed it because I love showing that picture. But as you can see, very clean, very I don't know, just it's very nice. Uh before I go, as you know, we're tracking change orders. This is what I've been doing at all of our updates tonight. Um you'll be seeing change order number four for $52,000. This is to lower the TK um cabinets. You'll see here, not these, but these to the right. The sink cabinets, it's standard height. It's ADA height. We're
062going to lower those. We're going to get a a credit from the architect for this. Uh, but we're going to repurpose. We're not just going to be wasteful. We're going to take these and we're going to repurpose them and we're going to install an island at the teacher workrooms that you see here on the left. So, there's two a set of um of a pair of teacher workrooms in between the four classrooms. And they have uppers and lowers that are built in, but we're going to take um these cabinets and create an island for them with a new countertop. We're just going to add a back panel and that that way we don't nothing is wasted. Uh the other thing that was missing from here from the right picture over the sink cabinet once we
063are done with lowering the cabinet we're going to install a shelf. U that way the teachers can use that for additional storage. I'm going to go back to this picture just to show you the rooms are essentially none. What's missing here on the two opposite walls? See if I can get Yes. right there and then right here. So, both of these walls get a whiteboard, an 8ft whiteboard as well as a smart over um short throw projector. Um so, that's we're just waiting for the equipment to arrive and it'll be installed. But as you can see, all the cable is ready to go. They're just waiting for the actual equipment to arrive. The short throw, ceiling mounted, floor mounted. It's um wall mounted. It's over the right. They call it short throw because it's basically
064like the camera. So if you can picture, it's a projector. It's a smart projector with a eight foot whiteboard. The whiteboard's not a smartboard. It's a standard whiteboard, but there's a device built into the projector that makes it smart that you can touch screen and they'll receive two in each classroom. Um the cabinets to the left uh along the window, they're all TK height. Um, you can't really see it from the picture, but as you can see, all the ceilings are closed, lighting is done, flooring, uh, the luxury vinyl tile. Everything's pretty much done in these spaces. Um, the second portion of this project was the addition of the kindergarten doors. That project actually started on Monday of this week. Um, I don't have a picture to show to show because the last time I
065was there, they were only um it was a laser basically to to outline where they're going to cut out the openings. So hopefully by tomorrow or early next week, we'll start to see the openings take place. All the door frames have been delivered and everything's on site ready to go. Have the back the second door on correct in the kindergarten classrooms. That way they have access to the TK courtyard to be able to use the new playground as well. Uh, as you can see, this is a different view uh, from the workroom into the classroom. As you can see, we have glass panels that in case a teacher has to go in there, something's printed, she needs to go get something for supervision purposes, it's it lends itself. Moving on to the TK playground project.
066Um we kicked off um and broke ground on May 27th. I used this picture as a reference just to give you an idea. Uh we try to maximize the space as you know it's it's a tight area between the kinder and the TK wing. So we had to create um this almost H or number four depends how you look at it a shape to maximize the space. But compared to what it used to be it's you know before they had a tiny tiny little playground. Here you can see when um we took a picture of when the equipment was coming in and the semitr the footings were being uh laid out for the playground. You can see the Lshape uh start to take shape. Here's the playground being installed. Here's another picture from a different
067angle. This is the front angle. What you don't see here is the the where it turns into the L. um all of the the surface the floor surface will be rubber surface and it'll have a nice clean edge. So, as you can see, we have the the pavers there. All of that will be um cleaned up and it'll be a nice smooth edge. And you'll also receive um a shaped structure over the pipe run which will be installed after. Here's the other side of the panel that's going in. Now, the panel that you see or that missing space in that arch, where is it? Right there. The panel came damaged. It It's cracked. It's already in order. They're expediting. So, as soon as it arrives, we'll attach it. But, it doesn't prevent us from continuing
068with the project, so it shouldn't be a problem. There's always something with construction. Any questions on the Holland TK project? Moving on to the SLC relocation project. As you know, we was delayed with receiving DSA approval. We were thrilled to finally break ground and start the project on June 18th. It took a while because obviously we had to enter into contracts, get insurance, get all that good stuff in order before we can get the project started. But as soon as we got the documents, we were ready to hit the ground running. Just as reference, as you can see, the larger portable I'm going to show some pictures in just a second from progress. So, I want to make sure that you understand the 60x 40 right there, plus the two 2440s and the restroom. Look,
069my hand's not moving. It's just that we need a new one. So, this is the logistics site plan that was shared with the preschools staff, with the community, with parents, just so that they understand as well as Dainci Connect site. The area outlined in red represents basically the entire construction zone if you will because we will be doing some sort of improvement all the way be from ISIS from that entrance. We have some path of travel sidewalk work along um that area all the way to the back. We've added a section a double gate with a combo as you can see um right in the middle next to the 60 by 40 up there up there. right there. Right there. Um to prevent vehicles from accessing the back. So the entire back area is strictly
070used now as of June 18th for construction. The only vehicles are entering there are trucks and construction equipment at this time. Uh fortunately, Da Vinci Connect is not um right in session for the summer. We do have preschool uh but we have already communicated a plan with them. We have a good plan in place and we're we're moving forward. So, this is some of the construction progress since the 18th. On on June 18th, they started to drop the temporary construction fencing. You can see the privacy screen being installed along that way you once um school does come back or even the preschool students that are there parents cannot see the construction. basically keeps it very private and it's a a mechanism for dust control as well. Uh the picture to the right shows the area
071where we started saw cutting the asphalt for the 60x40 portable that would be placed on a permanent foundation after all. It's a sore subject. And as of today, these are fresh. I just took them this morning and this afternoon. So that picture was from this morning. I was out there when um the to the the brown building uh right there is the restroom building. The blue um 12x40 section is is the section of the 2040 24x40 classroom that's coming from the current SLC site to the Da Vinci Connect site. Um as you know they break them up in in halves and they transport them except the restroom because that's already a 12x40. So they they brought the restroom first, then they started staging this afternoon the 24x40s and they'll start putting them together tomorrow and
072they'll be done by tomorrow. So it's moving fairly quickly. Initially they told us it would take 5 days to dismantle and transport. It took one day well one and a half days. They were out there yesterday to dismantle and then this morning by this afternoon by noon all of the buildings were on site. Well that's your contractors everybody. And Blake was out there in the weeds talking to the contractors, measuring. No, just kidding. But you were out there. Okay, moving on to the next project. Districtwide flooring and ceiling tile refresh project. It's in full swing. This one is it's a it's two very busy sites. We have a lot happening at both Aviation Elementary School and Weisburn Middle School. We have um fairly large poring crews that are working on simultaneously at both sites. Um
073here are some pictures. As you can see, we started on May 21st with with the gymnasium at the middle school. Uh we had some hiccups with the floor. They're uh we met with the manufacturer out there today to um make the repairs and they're going to do make the repairs um starting next week and we should have uh striping done the following and hopefully we'll be able to turn it over to the district in two weeks. Uh but other than that, it's it's looking well. The flooring and ceiling tile refresh project is that one's going really fast. Um, we have already completed building 600 and 700 at the middle school. They are already halfway with building 800. Building 800 wasn't supposed to even start until Monday. And the move team kicked butt as well. They
074got in there, they moved stuff out, and then the flooring crew was just following them. Granted, there are some areas that need some work. Um, but what we do, our team does is we all take turns between Miguel, even Sheree is out there, um, myself, um, and and Greg just because there's a lot happening, we're splitting our time and just stopping either one comes in early in the morning, the other one late in the afternoon, someone in the middle of the day. Exactly. And to catch anything. So, if we find something, we try to identify it right away. Um, I I know Blake is out there often as well. The principles are keeping an eye on it. So we we have all eyes out there which is great because as we identify any little imperfection
075we address it. We haven't even conducted a punchwalk but we're trying to minimize adding items to the punchwalk because as it is we have the go to the end. Exactly. Exactly. So this is demo as you can see the picture to the left. You can see how they're floating areas that are not even. So they come in, they remove everything, all the glue, all the residue from the previous flooring. If there's any areas that are not fully leveled, they come in and they do a concrete float. They let it dry before they start installing. So this is part of the floor prep that we do. Uh they started demolishing the flooring in the MPR today and they were done by this afternoon. So they move fairly quickly. Are they just discovering any surprises when they're
076uncovering the flooring currently? Nothing yet. Nothing yet. And I hope I know I don't need any more surprises. They found a million buried gold. No, I wish we could use that. That one. Well, welcome. I know. If I disappear now, you know, I would never do that. Uh here you can see we have started demolishing the the ceiling as well. the ceiling tiles are are uh being replaced, but it also shows a great picture of the original condition or of the prior condition of of the flooring. And just so that you're going to see the the replacement obviously going in. This is a completed classroom. So, as you can see, the carpet tiles are done. In this case, even the ceiling tiles are already in. The luxury vinyl tile is already complete. the rubber baseboard
077around the entire classroom and office complete. And what you don't see in this picture, the other door, they they have two doors. The other door receives a walk-off mat and also complete. So, these rooms, what we talked to the flooring crews um this afternoon as well as the rooms are done. I need you to send a cleaning crew so that they're cleaning because then the movers, the move back occurs and after the furniture uh is in place, then the summer cleaning crew will follow them for a deep clean of everything. But I want to make sure that the flooring crew is respectful and cleans everything. um windows because there's debris from even removal of the ceiling tiles. There's a lot of debris in the window seals. So, they'll take care of all of that. We
078showed them that this afternoon. Here's a same room, different angle, but just so that you can see everything's done. Just looks really nice. Imagine once we get the new furniture in these spaces, I mean, this these rooms already look like a modernized room in my opinion. And this is a picture of aviation elementary school. Similar case, uh, a wing is completely done. Building D was done yesterday. Today, they were just in there doing minor fixes that we brought to their attention and cleaning because the move crew um the move back crew is coming in tomorrow to move everything into the space. And now they're already there's a different crew already working on the next building. So, they're just moving fairly quickly. Again, ceiling tiles also complete in this case. Come on. Moving on to the
079next project. Also at Aviation and Weisburn, we have the door access controls project. The picture there to the left represents the hardware um that we're going to get. As you can see, it does have a a lock um core, but it also has obviously the more important piece above. It's for the key card for either a key card or a fob. So that is all already going in. Um we have crews working right now only at Weisburn. Um they're going to move into aviation shortly. Can I just make um Yes. because there's the construction side of it which is putting in all of the access control panel, you know, these um panel I guess panels or hardware hardware things. Um but then there's also the configuration of everything. I know I had a chance to
080talk to Jim. Jim's in the back. Hey Jim. Um and so we're also simultaneously having to go through the process of um we have I believe like today the cards came in or they'll be the ID cards they're going to it's going to be an ID card slash you know entry um entry card. So now we have to figure out there's a lot of parameters so you have to set for every person the parameters on which doors and all of that. So it's quite a lift for that first kind of first round. Um so we needed to start that early and and uh get that get that going now. Yeah. The last thing we want is the first day of school, people to go to the and without without access, you know, we want entry
081the first day. So, step one. Yeah. Right. Right. They heard you. First step is obviously install the hardware. Second step is to test everything and to program at the same time. And then we need to train. um will training will be minimal but the the larger training piece is for the staff that will be um create or generating cards on site. So for example, if they have a substitute for the day or if they have a parent visitor for the week or a PTA member, so they'll have to be able to uh print their own key cards and program them there on site. That way they're not having to come to the district at all times. So there's still a series of steps that have to take place, but the the critical one is to
082start getting the hardware in. Okay, moving on to the sports complex, Wispurn Sports Complex. Uh we are roughly 20% complete, which seems like very little consider considering that we started April 1st, but it's it's a large site. There's a lot happening and they were limited by what they could do waiting for phase two. So the project was broken up into two phases. Phase one working on the off-site improvements. The picture to the right. Those are the the new driveway approach that we have to do. We have to coordinate with the city of Hawthorne as well as start working on the grading overx and foundation work for the concessions building which is the picture there to the left. So that is currently underway. Aviation. That's I'm sorry. You said on aviation the the the sidewalk on
083the right hand side. This is on Yes. On aviation. Okay. Yes. So if you can picture the SLC building directly behind it, right? So in the driveway the original driveway approach was further south. So we had to push it as part of this project. We're still on well I should say we're we're tracking currently 14 days behind schedule because of all of the abatement um work that we had to do with the transite pipe that we discovered um early on in the project. They recent Erikson Hall recently had a pool planning session. This is where they meet with all of their subs. They break down the entire schedule by task basically by item by item by item to try to find ways of how they can overlap some of the work and recover. Uh they
084are confident that we're going to be able to make up the 14 days. That's not a problem. The issue was trying if for some reason there was any delay in us being able to remove the portables and slow down the the demolition of SLC, that would have been the hold up. But I told them that we would have everything out by the end of this week and we did. Everything's out by today. So we're we're on track. So I'm confident that we're going to make up those 14 days. No problem. When is the SL the existing SLC building scheduled to be demoed? Tomorrow. Tomorrow. All right. The old district office. Say goodbye. Come over. Bring popcorn. We did a We did a last minute We did a last time tour a couple weeks ago. I
085have some pictures. So, it's like early first thing tomorrow. What time do we have to do that? 7 a.m. 7 a.m. 7 a.m. 7 a.m. They as soon as they can start I'm like the minute they can start they'll be ready to go. They've been Yeah, I know. I'm ready to go. They've been waiting for me to I do want to say something on that note. You know that is it's actually unbelievable in terms of the transformation that this district Wiseman has gone through in terms of our building program and to see or even hear that that building is now about to be demoed. It's the the oldest building in our district. So, I also wanted to give a shout out to those people that were involved way back in the day for the establishment
086of the district and the construction of that office because what a gift we received for so many years that just established the Weisman Unified School District. It's a blessing to and great appreciation for those that came before us. I just want to say thank you even though they may no longer be with us. 1896. So maybe I still hope there's some around, but no, but it's in in all in all positive cander. Thank you to everybody that came before us. What what a gift they left us. Thank you. So, as you know, there's construction fencing and privacy screen throughout the entire perimeter of the campus. And it's hard to see what's happening unless you're going into the Weisber Middle School parking lot. That's where you see the majority of the work. It's hard to see
087what's really happening behind the the fence line. But there's quite a bit happening and and a lot more about to start. I think the minute we demo that building, this whole area is going to start transforming fairly quickly. I received a lot of phone calls. What are those poles going up? What are those poles going up? Well, uh the first one is the poles, the base for the basis for the musco lights. As you know, those are very tall poles that are forthcoming. They're going to be installed very soon. uh the pictures to the right. Uh some of you if you've driven by this P I took this picture here on Monday, they were still working on the pools is starting to put the the wiring for the the netting. Um as of today, netting
088was already up. So it's it's moving. Uh the picture in the middle is the underground electrical branch circuit running through the entire campus here. and picture to the left you can see basically I'll focus on the one um where the guy is working but right above it is the footings for the concession building that larger yellow area that whole area we're going to start pouring um concrete for the footings tomorrow so that's going to happen start well I'm sorry on Saturday I'm thinking tomorrow Saturday it's scheduled for Saturday it's been a long week um the guy here is working on the spread footing for the for the canopy So, if you can picture the concessions building, there's a canopy at the entrance and a canopy at the back. So, as you walk through, um it's
089divided into um the warming kitchen and restrooms in one side and then the storage in the other and the middle is just the area for the visitors to enter covered by a canopy. So, he's working on the footings for that. And here's the SLC building, which is part of phase two. They saved off all utilities on Monday. On Tuesday, they started removing all the fencing around it to clear the way for the portables because they were going to come in and they were going to run. So, Ericson Hall saved off the portables, the restroom, turned off all the utilities in this building. Uh, removed all fencing, right? Basically everything that's in the way um of of the transport. Then as of yesterday, they got there in the morning. They started dismantling. Portables started coming this
090morning. And now this this building is scheduled to be, as I mentioned, demolished tomorrow. This wasn't 1896, but I think it was something like the 30s or 40s. Do you know when this was built? 1993 later. Oh, was it? Yeah. I think Brand was Sorry. What? 1993. This building. It was portable. Just put together. Yeah, that's what you're saying. Portable. I'm like, but it's on a permanent foundation. Just like our 60 by 40. Another source of I built in a few facelifts too along the way. Oh yes, several. So if you want to go write your name on it, go write your name on it tonight. Take a picture and then we'll demolish it tomorrow. Are we saving the placards at all? What placers? Aren't there Isn't there a placard at the outside of that
091building? The only thing that we have is that um sign that was made right above the entrance. I mean this picture is from today there. As you can see I thought there was like board members represented years ago or something. We'll check. We'll make sure we check. I don't remember seeing that. It might have been removed before. They came out the ones with the little placers with all the board members. Yeah. Something. Yeah. Yeah. They all came out. That's probably because I don't remember. Yeah. when we moved out. But that was inside the boardroom, right? Were you referring to a plaque in the exterior? I don't remember that. Okay. And M did go in through the building um in advance actually last week and and removed anything that was to be salvaged. Just so you
092guys know. I think your name's probably on that project looks fantastic. Take it. I'll pay it. Okay, moving on to the next project. Before we go there, just absolutely focusing at Western Sport Complex. One of my relative to the work that Bridget's doing and King Consulting and trying to find extra resources and funds, the screen on aviation is that is an opportunity for additional funds. I think we're talking to Clear Channel. I may be ahead of ourselves there about appropriate advertising. I just want to make sure because I'm confused here. I think we're having three screens or need three screens. one north facing, one south facing and one east facing. So east facing being the scoreboard. The north and south facing being marketing. We have three scoreboards and we have two digital displays, but one
093of those digital displays is dualsided. But that's my question. It's the dualsided north south facing so that aviation it's the one that's on 135th basically right next to the middle school parking lot. Um that's facing 135th and obviously the field and then there's another one on ABA. Oh no, I'm sorry. There's another one on the concess on the side of the concessions building. We we tried to install it off of aviation, but because we have a lot of um electrical SCE poles with the musco lights with the netting, we were not able to add any more high displace there does not exist. Yes, the ones that that I've shared with you are that's exactly where they're going. But that if I'm remembering right, is that not a potentially north south facing aviation? Is that north
094south? I don't know the directions of that. Would it be helpful if we had another overview map west to aviation east? So So my my push back is we're throwing away an opportunity for potentially $100,000 or more a year in revenue by not having a north south facing aviation facing. We can certainly explore another option again but we when we did we were trying to do one on on 135th and one on aviation but like I said we were extremely limited because as it is it's already a very tight space and with between the musco lights thece post we have to maintain a 15t separation between thece um power poles our musco lights lines and all of our fencing so there's not a whole lot of place where we can we can do lower but
095it wouldn't really display out to the community. It has to be a much higher like the one we're doing on 135ths. It's it's 30foot pole basically if I recall correctly of a 135th message board versus an aviation message board is not 135th is just our people who are coming to school. We're happy to to revisit that is a major thoroughare but just know that it it's not something that I could just add to the project because it would have new. Thank you. But no, it will require DSA review and approval. I'm confused because that's the what the picture we have been seeing was showing that. No. So, I think what Neil's talking about is that we had talked about moving the electronic sign towards where the new parking is going to go by where the
096current SLC building is like there at that at that corner behind what is the other the little league baseball right the small parking lot the visitor right putting it yeah I don't recall that conversation you have the USA plan I do but just not with me right now I mean I not not here Um, I can bring it up and show. I mean, if it is if it's hundreds of thousands of dollars to get DSA approval and this is not possible, it's delayed, of course. But to me, this seems like we're throwing away. No, but it could be added as a CCD is what I'm getting at. It's not just something that I can just say change order. It would have to go through. What a great communication tool for the schools. Okay, we can
097revisit that. We just I think but I'll make sure I I'll get a s plan and we mark it. Absolutely. Now moving on to the next project, the Delair baseball field improvements project. Uh this project as you know started on May 1st and we're also making quite a bit of progress. It was split into two phases as well. The first phase was that brown area which was the DG. The rest of it was the baseball field project. So I showed that for reference. So here phase one as you can see it was actually completed one week after we we originally anticipated this. We kept um Da Vinci connect site and preschool informed throughout the process and it turned out very nice. It it I mean this picture doesn't really do it justice. It's a large
098space. No. And it's a very large space. So I I had to cut the picture in two just to show um and then can you imagine how it's going to look once that green temps because all you'll see is beautiful green grass. So right now you see the trees the DG it's very organic. It just looks very nice in my opinion and the kids seem to love it. It's now all leveled whereas before they were playing on asphalt but it was different elevations so it wasn't conducive for little ones right and this is the phase 2 project. Um and again the picture doesn't do it justice. That field looks massive. Oh it's huge. Massive. Once you're out there we're like wow it's so big. Uh, as you can see, they're working on the irrigation laterals.
099Um, all of that is done. They'll be ready to pressure test the the laterals tomorrow. We invited the grounds crew today. They came out to take a look at it. They'll be there to test once we actually are testing irrigation. Um, Marina Landscape, the sub for um this this project will be we'll start delivering the grass on Tuesday and we'll probably start installing shortly after that. Saw or seed? saw it. Again, just irrigation work right now. 135th, right? Yeah. Moving on to the district-wide signage project. We started, this project is a two-part project as well. The first part was changing out all of the ID panels in all of the marquees. Uh we have completed that. you can see in the picture to the left as they're installing it. Um we are scheduled to do
100a punch walk next week. Um they're going to also come out actually we'll punch it after they they uh Kaia's going to come out and paint the the frame. So you can see that the color has faded. We're going back with um a black gloss basically to match the black that it's already in the marquees. That way it looks like it's a continuous piece and otherwise the colors start to to fade and they'll look like that. The other day and I was like, "Oh, wait. That thing changed. It's no longer a banner. Right. You can see the changed the it's no longer it's coming. Wise Holly Glenn. As you can see, they're they're done. Uh Wispurn paint is actually in really good shape. So, we're not going to touch it. Yeah, we're going to leave
101it especially because it the the frame as you can see is blue. So, and it already looks really good. Leave it alone. We are going to punch it just to make sure that there's no no issues. Um, Holly Glenn, we are even though the picture looks like it's in really good shape, it has faded there. There are quite a few imperfections on the frame already. So, we are going to paint it black. But the marquee itself, the digital display, you can't really tell here, but it's also black. So, it'll look continuous. It'll make sense. relative to that are we there are two things one delir has that engraved yes and that's what I was just going to mention so the the second part of the project is to replace for example the district office sign
102the district office along the concrete monument the concrete monument and delair remove all of the letters uh from right now they're covered by banners uh right so that's the next start. We're waiting for the actual letters to be ready uh and then we're going to start remove them and install them. And I said, "No, no, no. Why don't we go in first, remove the banners, remove the letters, let's check the condition of the wall if we have to do any patch before we just start installing and then you can see the shadow of the wrong the name in the background." So, we might have some letters that are off. So there'll be no name other than the mares to the site just because we're in the process of inspection and and making repairs and getting
103it right one at the first time, not after. And then we'll we'll do the installation of of the letter. So that's coming and it'll be in the month of July. And the last signage thing that I don't think we're addressing is the middle school numbers on the buildings. No, I don't not at this time. Just the name. Okay. Thank you. I thought about that today, too. There's a lot more and the other two projects that uh we're still tracking for some reason, we still have not received DSA approval and I put pressure again on our design team just to keep pressuring DSA is the Da Vinci Cafe and um the Da Vinci Kitchen modernization. Uh the cafe should have been approved a long time ago. We've already addressed all comments. It's been sitting with DSA
104since March. They have checked uh basically every 3 weeks and nothing. We have not received approval. So I now that our focus is no longer on getting SLC approval, we're ready to escalate it, especially for the cafe because we should have been taking advantage of the summer to do that work or for Da Vinci to do that work. Now, the kitchen modernization, I'm not sure what's going to happen, but we still want to see that project through and obtain DSA approval for them. And last but not least, we're planning to do a citizens bond oversight committee construction tour. As you know, we take them out. They love wearing their vests, their hard hats, their their PPE basically, and get out there. Um, you're all welcome to join us. Send us an Absolutely. It's just a
105great opportunity for them to physically see progress and to share that progress with the community since they're a conduit um to our community and it's just a perfect um photo op. Will that be the same date of their next meeting of the CBC? We're going to so I'm going to work with Wendy to schedule that. Um we were supposed to meet in June but we had to postpone that just because we had a lot happening with graduations and all the kicking off a lot of these projects. Um, so we're we're going to try to do I I'm actually going to push to try to see if we can do it in July. I know we told them August just because I want them to see progress versus completion. Exactly. Right. Agreed. Yeah. Any other questions?
106That concludes my presentation. Super. Thank you very much. Welcome. As everyone can see, we have a few items going on in the district in terms of construction. Thank you to Noami and to the entire team. Really appreciate it. And also thank you to our Wiseman community for the passage and support of Measure E. Without their support, obviously we would not be able to do all these wonderful projects. I think all of my colleagues here on the board are of the same opinion in terms of gratitude, but also um when we do projects like this and our students come back to school and our teachers come back to their classrooms and they see the new spaces, there's just a rich energy that develops and it show it shows everyone that comes to our schools that not
107only the board but our community cares about the spaces for our students. So, thank you again to to our community for such wonderful support. It's a really a privilege and an honor to live in the Wise community uh for many reasons and that's just one of them. So, thank you. Thank you again for that. Okay, we're going to continue on uh with our agenda. We're in section 7 7.1. We're going to start with board member reports and I'm going to start with Rebecca on my left. Thanks so much, Robert. Um, you know, uh, it's so amazing to hear all about all of the wonderful things that are happening to improve our schools and our communities even when we're not in session. And I really want to be, uh, be able to embrace the summer season.
108Um, but I'm also I also think it's important for us to continue to recognize the unique challenges that our students face during these months. Um, with school out, many of our young people have fewer opportunities to be in safe spaces where they feel supported and secure, and summertime should be a time of joy and exploration and carefree moments. And yet, many of our families, especially this summer, um, are in a climate that makes it difficult to enjoy those simple things. So, while our school district is working diligently to provide a safe environment for our students during the school year, the summer can leave some of us feeling vulnerable without the protective walls of the schools. So, um I just want to continue to remind us that our schools are uh and should be those safe
109spaces and that we should be looking out for our students and our communities even when we're not in session. Thank you. Next, we'll go to Neil. Well, um it's fun to hear all this change and all this exciting stuff. And I came across a quote uh earlier today that made me think of something I may have shared a few minutes ago, but it's the idea of creative destruction. Maybe back to your war zone. But creative destruction is an interesting idea. It was created by a economist we've never heard of called Joseph Shumper. And Joseph Shumper argued back in the 19th century that there were waves of change and we've continued to have change not just for change saint but for improvement sake and the point he made was we're now in the sixth wave of
110change the first the industrial revolution and the creative destruction idea is that when something is introduced it destroys that was before it. So for example when the model T Ford was introduced it destroyed the horse and buggy as a popular means of transportation etc. when the iPhone was introduced, that's the that was the first wave or the second wave. The the fifth wave was the iPhone and the internet and how many things were quote unquote destroyed by the iPhone like the radio and the camera and you name innumerable things. Now, I'm not the destruction part is not what I want to emphasize, but I I'm proud of us and I want to recognize the cultural shift that's happening in our district towards the use of data. And you know it's just subtly made it into
111our conversations. But this use of data is giving us more insight more more knowledge the ability to use it for uh grant writing and and grant attainment and in giving us the sense of making moving forward and momentum. So I'm proud of this process and don't want to just I want to take a moment to recognize that and say hey we have we are making a cultural shift um professional learning communities moving in this direction this great positive change and the quote I referenced today that made me think of all this came from George Shinski the general who was the chief uh of commander of the army about a decade ago and he said this he said if you don't like change you're going to like irrelevance less And I thought that was a very
112powerful idea that we are continuing to change not for change sake but to improve to get better to imp to ride these continually accelerating waves of change for the benefit of our community our students and our team. So kudos to you Blake and the team for riding and leading us on this wave. And I just want to recognize everybody and say thank you. Thank you. Thank you Neil. Next we'll go to Michelle. Thank you. Um, I I love the special presentation so much because it does highlight all the things that we can see and cannot see. So, thank you for all of those. Um, and it's just inspiring and again, it just gives us a sense of gratefulness to be able to be here. Um, and be able to be at the forefront of being
113able to watch this and um, and I think and thank you, Rebecca, for always planting us firmly into the context of the world because I think that that's so important. There's so many great things happening right in our little bubble which we should definitely be grateful for but we should never forget exactly the context in the world that we that we belong in and function in. Um, and I didn't realize how sentimental my colleagues were until they started talking about the demolition of this building and you saw them like no and you know you're going to see them change the building although no we we but and I and again I'm you know have the pleasure of getting to know uh this board in the in the last year but it is so wonderful to
114see that uh honor that gratitude that constant reminder of the past um because you know that that's what you are you know standing on the shoulders of right um and so um my own anecdote about that building is that is the building that I walked into like 25 years ago looking for a job and uh so I have my own sentimentality u they said no they said no we have no openings for you um and so and rightly so I'm glad it happened that way because I get to be here today but um so yeah I I do think that I will miss driving past and and seeing it. So, I might be there tomorrow morning at 7 am just to to witness that um because it is it has always been kind of a
115um an anchor in our in our community. So, um but again, it's really just wonderful seeing all of you and and that sentimentality. Um and so it it just makes me more proud to to be a part of this. So, thank you. And that with that, that's all I have to say. Thank you. Thank you, Michelle. Um, I just have a couple of quick comments in terms of closing out um last year, our 20 242 school year. I wanted to say thank you to all of our staff and our administration and our teachers. Um, wow, what a year, right? Uh, thank you for all your energy and enthusiasm and teaching our students and the care that you've given to to a to really our family and the Wiseman community. Incredibly grateful for that. Um, I
116did have an opportunity as well as a lot of my colleagues here to attend our middle school promotion, also the Delair Aviation and SLC. What a gift I tell you. You know, oftentimes we're here at the DAS and running our board meetings, but we can't remember why we're here and why we're all participating in the activities. It really is for all of our students. And by attending not just those promotions, but activities during the year, it's just a constant reminder of what our mission is really to help our community and educate our students and grow together as as really a large extended family. So, thank you for a wonderful 2425 school year uh in appreciation. Thank you again. So, that's all I have and I'm going to turn it over next uh to Blake and
117Nica. Guide us with leadership reports, district leadership reports. You do you want to start? Yeah, go for it. Uh, hot off the press, uh, fiscal report from school services. Um, govern Governor Nuome and the legislative leadership have come to an agreement on the 2526, uh, state budget package. Uh, they're anticipating the assembly and senate to act on uh, the numerous bills needed to enact the actual state budget on tomorrow. U,, so just a couple highlights uh, from that. Um the first one is um in regards to the COLA, they're fully funding the um the 2.3% COLA. That's that's the final agreement. The um the uh universal transitional kindergarten, that TK add-on that we had um uh presented at the our last board meeting, um the the state is finalizing that. So that will provide an
118additional about $2.1 billion dollars for that the implementation of that piece. Um it includes or excuse me not 2.1 1.2 billion for that. Sorry about the other number better to the other the other number is actually just the continuing the continuing of the funding of of TK implementation. Uh the 1.2 is for for the additional add-on and that's to meet the the 10 to one um adult to student ratio. Um and then the student support and discretionary block grant. Um the the final agreement was to um allocate $1.7 billion towards uh that one-time um allocation and it will be distributed based on ADA. So that will be a pretty significant uh windfall for the district as well. And then finally um the partial restoration of the learning recovery emergency block grant. Um the initial proposal
119was three uh 378.6 6 million and they are fully funding that that amount as well. So, um uh per the 45day uh budget revision window over the summer, we will be um incorporating all this information into our budget revision that we'll take to the board in August. So, we'll be uh incorporating the revenues and um any of the expenditure plans that um we've already kind of been discussing that will be associated with those funds as well. you had earlier made an estimate of what all that meant for us. Do you have any memory of that? Yes. Um for the um the student support and discretionary block grant that was roughly about $730,000 for for the district. The um the TK ratio, that additional add-on uh equated to about $400,000. And then for the uh learning
120recovery emergency block grant that uh was roughly about 162,000 for the district. Can you can you bring news like that to everybody? Well, there is some other positive news. I I um don't have perfect allocations for this because they haven't kind of disclosed how they were going to disseminate the funding for this, but the uh literary instruction, the professional development, um they have allocated about $200 million in one-time funds for that piece. And then the uh literacy and math coaches, they had originally um estimated an amount of 455 million. that amount was actually reduced to about 215 million in onetime funds. Um so those those grants are not coming out on a per ADA basis. So we don't have kind of an allocation amount dedicated to that, but that will be additional funds that will
121help support the district and our literacy measures like 1.3 or 4 million. Pretty remarkable and needed and appreciated. That's a fantastic news. And that's all I have for my baby. Glad to bring some positive news. Thank you, Sean. Much appreciated. Oh, I was just going to ask does that impact the I know we have to there's uh some things that we're supposed to be approving in terms of like spending contingencies, planning. Does this these monies that are coming in affect what we need to do in terms of what we're submitting to like LEO and others around? Um so we yeah we will meet the um uh the standard 45day budget revision per per LEO's guidelines per the state guidelines. So we have from uh July 1st that's when the 45day window opens. So we just
122have to take a revised budget to the board um within that time period and they just have to approve it. it it's it's they're not there's not a specified format. It doesn't have to be in the similar format that you see for the adopted budget that will be um that you see as an action item tonight. So, it'll be um a little bit hopefully a little more straightforward, easier to read document um kind of highlighting the the updates to our revenue and the associated expenditures. So, it it should make a lot more sense to be a lot and this may not one we have I'm sure there's some unrestricted and unrestricted in this equation. These are probably restricted dollars. Most are restricted. All of them are restricted um with the exception of the the TK
123addon. That's that's part of our um LCFF funding formula. Yeah. So that amount will come in unrestricted. But I mean it is it's it's to be utilized for those TK purposes which is what we'll be using it for. But that one is come as an unrestricted funding source under just the general umbrella of LCFF. But all the other ones are on the restricted side. Okay. Thank you, Sean. Any other district membership you want to say? Just me. This is the next uh You're under superintendent. I am. Yes. Can I take it away? Yeah. Just a few comments. Um want to say um really appreciated and enjoyed the graduations and promotions. Uh I guess it was two weeks ago. Um I think we did I think I did about seven or eight of them. Uh most
124of us did over over the course of a few days. You know what what stood out is u to me is I you know in these uncertain times is just seeing the power of the kids that that were there and um the fact that I feel pretty comfortable and confident that that those kids are going to make a difference you know for us in the future and um you know hearing the speeches that happened at the graduations here at Da Vinci um hearing the kids speak at you know the aviation graduation um just seeing you know Alden Mikey and Lette at SLC you know I remember when they were just babies and and them graduating, you know, from the futures program is really really rewarding um and special. So, you know, I just it just
125does give, you know, despite the uncertainty and and and and all of that, it just does give a a ray of sunshine and hope for um you know, for the future when you see when you see things like that. So, I you know, I just wanted to comment um you know, comment on that and then just share that. Um I just wanted to thank you know, thank folks. I know we're here. Jim is here. He's uh starting um jumping in, you know, full steam. appreciate the support. Um, obviously you saw a tremendously comprehensive uh presentation from No today. Um, you know, I always I tease teaser about the two-hour presentations, but really I mean it's a a lot going on, a lot of projects going on. You know, Greg and and Sheree and Miguel obviously
126running around. Celeste, I won't forget Celeste. I'm running around and trying to make sure that all of these things are are being managed. Um, and that when I mean and I honestly saw when a little piece of um, you know, of these what do you call this? the border when the when the rubber border is is is off just a little bit. Yeah. The um you know, they're pointing it out and and making sure that we get it right. I mean, there's just a lot of detail that goes into um a project where maybe detail isn't always followed by contractors and you know, you have to be you have to be um observant. Um and just seeing that process has been, you know, really really really remarkable. Um and I agree, you know, Roger shared
127that we're seeing sort of a changing of the way the the district's going to look. I mean, when you see the field that's going to be built and the baseball field, that baseball field is going to be amazing. Um, and um just really, really, really positive things um you know, as we close out this year and start next year. Um look forward to the strategic planning that we have ahead, you know, that's going to be coupled with grant writing um and and other things. It's just a lot of positive um as we close this year out. And so, just thank you to everybody um our teacher leaders, you know, that are here. really really appreciate the support and the time and the effort um and the collaboration. It's just been a wonderful um wonderful year.
128So, thank you. That's all I have today. Thank you, Blake. Moving on in our agenda, we are in section eight, which are comments from the public. Wendy, do we have any comments on agendaized items? I do not have any comments. Okay, thank you very much. Section nine is under consent items. Is there a motion to approve item 9.1 uh which would approve items 9.2 through 9.14? And if anyone would like to pull any otherwise I'll take a motion. You have a motion of a comment. Neil, is there a second? She got just in light of our continuing to move forward and use technology where it's can. I just want to point out 9.9 with the uh agreement with clear and creating um technology for residency verification. It's a far crack of what we've been doing
129in the past and excited to see that in place this year. Thank you. I have one comment on item 9.10. Not to make uh Bridget nervous or anything, but you spot. Yeah. I did also want to say thank you for all your service and your time uh here with the district and for everything you're doing as well as a shout out to who's also co-unding this item for us. Tremendous appreciation to our partnership with the Wise Bernett Foundation as well. Okay. So, I have a a motion from Neil and a second from Michelle. All those in favor? I I thank you. Motion continue. Thank you. On to section 10. Uh these are our action items. Is there a motion to approve item 10.1 to receive WFA initial proposal for the 20 2526 negotiations? Roger. Uh
130just a point if if you wish uh we could probably take 10 1 and 10 two together and then 10 3 and 10 4 together. Um if if you so choose obviously however you want but I just those two they sort of partner each other so in the event that you all want to do that it's fine. Sure. I'll move 10 one and 10 two. You have absolutely okay so I have a motion from Rebecca and a second from Neil. Any comments? Great. All those in favor? I. Thank you. Motion carries 4 Z.

It's it's one item on here was we did not meet ADA to enrollment and I did not understand what that meant. I know
135it's it's a esoteric. You can't remember everything on here. Oh, it's uh I'm assuming you're in the uh criteria and standards. One of the two it's like page one or two of that first section. Yeah. So that the criterion standards is um it's it's embedded in the state software and so they just they they look at ADA to enrollment percentages and at the state level I just don't think they've simply updated their criterion standards to like account for the fact that districts statewide are do have you know a much lower 88 percentage compared to enrollment as a result of it's a threshold when we when we enter all the parameters. It spits out if it's a met or not met requirement. So, I just don't think they've simply like updated that portion of it to
136we were met almost everywhere. That was just caught my eye. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that our percentage is is pretty much in line with with state percentages and historically where we've been and the recovery hopefully will bring us up. Thank you. That's sufficient.
