014this is a really nice place to be in and WIS bur to see all these projects coming forward and offer opportunities for for our students in kids that that come come to the district um I do want to talk about math night what a wonderful event at at delir I wanted to say thank you to everybody that was part that participated in that it was so nice to see families and I got to tell you I miss it a little bit you know my kids are a lot older I remember going to those math nights or Arts nights and uh my oldest son now is 24 he's a little bit bigger than I am so those days are gone by but it's very heartwarming to be able to see our community and with and parents
015there with their son or daughter participating in in events like that and so thank you it's a really a wonderful event and uh thank you to the coaton foundation as well what an amazing partner Maggie you might be uh sharing a little bit more about that and what they contributed there as well but I did want to say thank you to our partners and Co and because um again we accomplish more by working together and they're definitely ke partner in that um last item I will share is I had an opportunity with Neil as well to and Blake to attend the da Vinci board meeting last night and it was a really um really good meeting in the sense that we were able to see and see a presentation in terms of all the opportunities
016and options that our students have uh in particular the pathways I was blown away by how many options there are in terms of real world learning and for those that have more questions I'm going to look right at Steve because he gave a great presentation as as the assistant superintendent of Education of all the things that are being offered uh to to our students and all the different opportunities really excited about that because really start to see the articulation and the pathways from where it starts from our wise bur K8 all the way through high school and the opportunities that are going to flow so really looking forward to obviously continuing that and building on those successes and thank you Steve for sharing the information there I really appreciate it okay uh that is all
017I have for my my board update so we'll we'll go uh actually next item is mathematics updates so I think Maggie right you're up steing the thunder on but thank you for your for your kind words I mean the teachers that came out Emma Smiley who put just her heart and soul into such a great event and the partnership with coat and that just so thankful for not just with the supports they provide our teachers and the coaching and training that they do um but with a partnership with you know our other school at Aviation as well um it was just like marvelous to see that all come together and I always say like when we're hiding like ways that parents could use mathematics at home in really fun simple ways at a dinner table
018or at you know in front of a TV it's a quick conversation I mean that's when you start to see all that fluency coming through and and getting even better for our students so that was wonderful so thank you to Del air for that um I mean as well as March 12th I reported back in November our fifth grade team going to torren UniFi they invited us back for their day number two so we were able to work with the torren fifth grade team as well as our own District coaches um on March 12th for the second building thinking classrooms day it was really great to see was one of um you know we were really learning about some heavy duty research and Mathematics and one thing is about how students learn differently when they're
019standing up and working on vertical services so all of our teachers that were present were able to obtain these surfaces um and are starting to you use them in their classrooms when they're having um B bags discussions and so I'm really excited because I might be going into a math class soon stay tuned to do one of the problems I it was amazing and I learned so much about the partners that we had with the partners that I had so that it was great to see but can I continue with my ed services update I think we're just leading right in so are wising first wi for many conferences on March 7th I mean thank you to so many people in this room who participated in our feedback surveys came with just smiling faces to
020this event it was a huge success from you know Archie and his team helping set up to our principles who presented to our coaches Holly Compton and Christina Navaro presented and then our 18 other presenters that we had I mean we're such big Believers on giving our students voice and choice but we wanted to model that same thing for our teachers and they had the opportunity there were you know different sessions there three different sessions to attend um our teachers all attended one on Competency Based grading that was kind of the assigned session of the day but all the others were were um they were able to choose from and you know our sellouts were the AI playground you know really starting to dip our feet um with Miss Kate Tani in AI um research
021which had overwhelmingly great response our student student talk session which was actually run by our very own principles I mean I would like to give them a huge shout out they had really big crowds at all of their sessions as well as our own math coaches like learning how to integrate everyday games into their classrooms you know both from the TK level all the way up to the eth grade level and they really designed it for each of the different grade levels so it was so great to see and you know the the feedback that was coming through to help us drive what we could potentially do next year with the same sort of model was great I mean teachers everyone attended the Competency Based grading one and so that was the one that I'm
022really looking at and 96% of our teachers said that this was something they felt would benefit their students I mean that's that's a pretty good step to have you know an 83% saying that they felt that they learned something in each throughout the day and that's great numbers for us and so where do we need to you know to continue our development in um was great one of the parts of the day is we had a healthy living session and so thank you to Lauren shaad and Tyler um Nazarene who got up and he ran a hit session and 15 teachers came by and man did they get down and there they were doing burpees and they were running around the campus getting ready for session number three Lauren had a bullhorn and 74 teachers
023going around the neighborhood we were like no we're all happy here like it was just the greatest thing to see our principls were lined up and high-fiving people as they were coming back in for the day to get rid of session three um Dr dugall was in the session with reading and our teachers thought came in like we're really just going to read in here and so it was just a great way to like decompress and kind of get ready for our next round and it was a just a fantastic day that I still can't stop smiling about from Hit to reading I like it a buch the best picture of the team of TK teachers who are laying on their tummies reading their books like on the turf outside the library it's like this
024looks so TK and perfect it was like so shout out to that team um and then March we've been very busy in ed services on March 18th um we designed a design team within um the district which all all volunteer based but with teachers from every grade level in every um subject area at the middle school I mean everyone from Miss Elder our Union president to um our TK teachers just to talk about what comacy based learning looks like you know we are receiving feedback last year on the lcap as well as surveys that we've given out as well as we've gotten some feedback this year about our grading practices and so what does this look like as a district and so we're really working on a mission and vision for what assessment means for
025us and then from there what types of feedback are we going to give be giving our students our most important people and then into that than their parents so we're starting to roll out this kind of two-year process um with our first day with a partnership that we made with learner Center collaborative and it was a fantastic day we got very good feedback about what was learned and we'll be meeting again for a second time as a team on May 20th so that's a great things happening in the for around assessments and that said services for you in the last couple of weeks I can feel the excitement we been busy but it's Wonder me too I think we'll continue Blake with the leadership reports I'm sorry I do I have a couple updates um
026just echoing sort of the collaboration theme I think we're all sharing um this week we had our third sped collaborative meeting with our WFA Representatives um that came out of anou um with WFA last year so we had a one meeting last year one in October and this was our third meeting um and that was on Tuesday and it was it's really about you know coming together collectively discussing um things that are going well we had we start we start out with shout outs we kind of model the PLC process and our shout outs probably lasted 45 minutes and it was with 10 10 of us but there was a lot of things it was just really awesome to really have everybody really take time to intentionally talk about what's going well um and really
027celebrate the things that we are making adjustments on and we are seeing progress on so that was really really impactful um and then really get into you know the areas of concern and the things that we still want to talk about and so um we've had really really valuable intensive conversations and I just really want to thank the team these are teachers that volunteer to be a part of this committee and um so we had Elementary and Middle School representation and into Administration um uh Kiana Clark was our our principal representative as well as my program specialist and Sarah Green um from SLC and so we were able to spend the day really outlining some next steps and basically what we see now is current areas of need and the team came together to talk
028about recommendations moving forward and So within theou I think it was supposed to have a third meeting this school year um as part of it um we all sort of collectively agreed that we kind of have come to figure out what we know we need as next steps and some of it are things that won't happen until looking into next year and some planning that will need to take place so um they actually said that they would prefer to also meet in the fall versus another meeting this school year so that we can have some followup and carry over into next year and really you know take stock of what is again continuing to move forward and if there's still things we need to work on so um all in all it was a really
029really productive day and I think Dr Magie was there for a little bit in the afternoon and I think we highlighted the ways that we're starting to collaborate more between sped and services in terms of instruction and practices that we know are going to help all of our students so that was a big Focus for us um and then today we had um a collaborative meeting with da Vinci um for talking about our transition of our 8th to nth grade students and so that process um we do have that every year but this year we really want to make sure we did it earlier than we have in the past um brought counselors and administrators from Da Vinci over to the middle school and were able to talk about students supports what the programming looks
030like what we can do to make sure that we're preparing our students specifically with IEPs to make sure that their programming and supports are going to be appropriate in in high school and and make sure that we are supporting that process for the team at D Vinci so it was a really really positive day um talking about that and then I know tonight you see uh we have some resolutions um talking about Autism Awareness Month and neurodiversity um and so I was able to meet with our school psychologist last week and we are collaborating with the care team and developing specific um activities and sometimes in some is a Spirit Week um to focus on autism awareness or neurodiversity and really celebrating um who we are what makes us all unique and different and so
031um you're going to start to see a lot of those posts coming out on our social media with the different activities that are going to be taking place at each school and some will happen within school spirit days some will happen with parent volunteers coming in so each school is sort of addressing it a little bit differently um but we're definitely making ways that we can celebrate um all of our students so thank you one more update um board tonight um item 8.12 and 8.13 will'll be U voting on um but wanted to share a little bit and celebrate is that we were invited to participate in the South Bay teacher Residency program uh we got a grant with um torren unified and uh next year at the middle school we will have a special
032education teacher resident as well as um want to thank Katherine Mesa she will be the mentee or uh Mentor sorry for the teacher resident so this um this teacher resident is already in classes and he will be taking classes started it started in March um we'll take classes all the way through August and then will be full-time teaching with us um next year so we're very excited it is a lot of work for Miss Mesa and so she is going to one of the things you'll be approving is a stien for her but um it's an exciting opportunity for us to be in this program and be invited to uh be a part of it so thank you for your consideration all right my turn all right thanks um first of all it's uh the
033only team worthwhile in the Major League Baseball had opening day today um I just I see Amy there and I figured I would just put that out there so um other than that um there's a lot going on in the district over the last couple weeks I wanted to thank Steve Wallace and the da Vinci team for inviting me to be part of the career connected learning program was able to join them for dinner um and it was really cool to have an opportunity I'm gonna forget Sequoia conversation I think is what what it was referred to just the ability to sit down and chat with people um almost all right um discussion um it was just a good opportunity to be able to to chat with uh with Educators and and just hear hear
034things um just hear firsthand people's kind of life story related to education how they got here and and kind of hopes and dreams and things like that so just thank you for that um also um wanted to to share that today we actually submitted or within the last couple days sorry we submitted um two grants working on a third the first one uh was related to pltw this is a grant that we're trying to extend pltw trying to continue to keep that alive in our schools um second one was the LA County Arch Grant it's one that we do every year it's about 25 grand um and uh hoping hoping that's also a successful Grant larger one was a CTE Grant particularly um to to support the Middle School um Da Vinci and team really
035helped us put together we're trying to align these Pathways line some of the pathways that da Vinci has in the high schools down to the down to the middle school this one is in the area of uh media music media pathway um something that we've been looking at for a few years um Toby Harwell is is really integral in that as well as some of the D Vinci team to help us push that forward this is a larger Grant um so we'll see what happens you know it's it's in it's sort of I think we submitted it officially today U excited about that opportunity Mo moving forward um also want to want to highlight math KN I mean I won't spend too much time I know it's been it's been said by many but I
036really want my hats off to the teachers I want to highlight Emma uh for for her support there and and and just leading that and it's just a really nice program was really nice to see the teachers out there engaging with the families it wasn't just students right parents were there as well I just really enjoyed that um also want to talk about the baseball field um you know I know Roger mentioned baseball field um this is a project that sort of been a long time coming and U just really appreciate those conversations and how they've evolved I think this is an opportunity for kids um that are playing baseball our youngest kids playing baseball will have something to look forward to 10 years you know from now and I think that's just really critical
037just a point of clarification we mentioned deair is in deair the community not deair the school it is behind the connect school off of Isis uh and that's where the field is being just so deair didn't think you're going to have a field that's going to mess up stuff so just FYI there clarify um yes that baseball field that one um but really nice uh nice opportunity uh for our kids and really just keeps our baseball players at home and being able to have some pride and and joy in in playing at home um also uh had an opportunity to uh when we we actually went I guess it was trying to remember when we went to San Diego Steve and and Madie and the we went back in October September October or something and
038um a couple of the schools that we saw had strength finders as part of their their curriculum where they're having students at really early ages start looking at strengths um not talking about career but it is a line sort of to career- Connected learning is said like what are my strengths and being able to analyze that um so I had a chance to talk to to Dr John Garcia superintendent Downey um and they're doing something with their staff and now bringing it down to their students where they're going through the Clifton strengths training um well they're star with staff and then they start pushing it down I believe they pushed it down to their high school and maybe maybe early middle or later Middle School um definitely in their high schools though is is where
039they started uh doing that um so um we did um take our first strength quizzes today I think Nisha took hers I took mine um and we are going to roll that out to leadership and really try to start diving into um strength there's a lot that could be gleaned from that a lot that that we can learn about ourselves a lot that we can learn about how we go about our daily you know tasks and work um so really excited about it not for not specifically because I want staff and and our team to see that but more so because I think there's a lot of opportunity for kids to start diving into their strengths um and starting to understand what they're good at um maybe what they're weak at and and how we
040can how we can help support them through that so um you know it's really exciting it's kind of invigorating to be able to see that um that that's a possibility down the road um appreciate I know Nisha and and Maggie both went to Downey yesterday to meet with their team trying to get some ideas on how that roll out looked um and you know I think that um you know know we'll do a really good job rolling that out here at one point um as we go through it I just think it's a really important thing um aside from that um I just want to I'm kind of going to take uh expand a little bit on Michelle's comments you know related to Communications and related to Erica I just think there's a lot of
041people that work behind the scenes that we don't see a lot you know they're not ones that are getting quoted in in you know in on Instagram or seen on Instagram Etc Erica being one of them and and Maria her her partner uh being one of them really painting our district I mean and I think I've shared this before but like every comment on social media is basically being answered or or there's some sort of Direction I mean and that is a feat you know social media it's real easy to comment right it's a lot harder to respond to those comments just the time and energy that goes into that is just really really impressive um but if you also look at some of the some of the reals I I saw the reals of
042the Young The Young um ladies that were here presenting on the Bulldog bark today um you know it was amazing you know really looks like a professional reel in some ways I mean it kind of is I guess um but but it's just a really nice reel um I saw one about music at the middle school where kids are kind of sharing their music experience and um you know I just it's just really awesome we saw our eighth grade our boys basketball team at the middle school got highlighted in in in a in a post so just really highlighting those positive things I just want my hats off um also you know we had our groundbreaking today obviously I won't belabor that but just say that I know Noemi and Sheree and and The Naz
043team put a lot of time heart energy into that I mean that wasn't an easy feed as you see you know was I mean there were over 100 people there probably today and you know tents and microphones and you know all the all the things yeah shovels and yeah all um you know all the things and um you know it's just not lost on me that that just the amount of work and cookies with with quite quite quite pretty designs on them yeah um so really want to say that and I mean obviously you know Tony's here as well and and just the the effort that's gone into a $16 million technology project um that you know obviously you were coming off uh you know I mean we were I don't know at one point
044it was like do we even want to have technology seriously I mean we do I know we do I know we do but it sometimes it what are you saying man yeah I don't mean a technology person you know I meant the actual headache of Technology at times but um yeah but anyway I mean just thank you for you know Tony for the time that you put in it's just the people that you know we don't see all the time and don't hear from so um that's all I have today thanks sure I just want to I did not know about the strength finder thing I'm I'm ecstatic to hear especially if this is a joint venture um I've done a lot of work with strength finder and the theory behind it it's really remarkable
045Gallup organization I believe has studied tens of millions of people and identified 34 themes that Define what your strengths are and the strengths Theory suggests strengths are that which make you feel strong and gives you energy and energize you and weaknesses are things that weaken you and your weak your weaknesses will never become your strength but your your success and your joy can come from your strengths so they make the argument and i' love to see this in schools that strengths school and education should be the place where you discover your strengths life should be the place you apply your strengths so the fact we're literally doing that I'm jumping up and down that's that's terrific stuff really good stuff thank you I also feel the excitement here thank you next we're going to move
046on to our SE next segment is public comment lendy do we have any comments on agenda items I have no comments all right thank you moving on we're going to go on to section eight for those following online Section 8 is our consent agenda is there a motion for for consense agenda items 8.1 you have a motion you able to put that up on agenda I'll move second okay second any comments or questions on consent to items hearing none all those in favor I motion carries 40 next is action items first item on our agenda is 9.1 which is Award of contract for campus monetization items and services from Arvin Unified School District piggyback bid uh for districtwide signage uh replacement project with Kaa Services LLC to be funded by measor that was a mouthful
047is there a motion can we move 91 and 92 together or are they separate no yeah there's no no reason not to all right I'll move 91 and two motion for 91 and two and just that 9.2 is also campus modernization items from arbin um for for Aviation Elementary School on WIS bill is there a second okay and a question which Shere is coming to help us with to bring us up to date with pleas the only uh thing I wanted to confirm and clarify is for item 9.2 you're amending the award that you have previously the board had previously awarded so Kaa Services merged and there they had a name change so for Contracting purposes we need to we needed to update the legal name effec additional money it's pre-approved we're just Chang noct
048we're changing the contract name that's it that's for 9.2 thank you okay all those in favor hi thank you both items pass 40 next item is item 9.3 I'd like to go ahead and make a motion to approve this item uh with a slight revision so this is to approve funding agreement between weisburn USD and D schools for the daller baseball field um in accordance and the modification would be in accordance to the documents provided um as dieni will be also meeting I believe in April to to co-fund this project with us uh this is a 5050 partnership so we're very excited uh that we can actually move this project forward this will also give us the ability to move forward and part of the motion would be to issue the notice of intent to
049award so that the project can also move forward and the direct District staff to finalize the agreement with the been CH you have a second thank you any questions about Bo this is the one that's not at the school but in the community I mean just for for the record would just say that the total cost is um 1.27 7079 so basically 1.3 million almost but when that's split up it's $638,500 that's why we have it sort of vetted in this document is to show that official credit um so uh basically Da Vinci schools would owe us uh would transfer funds in the to the amount $ 26,32 a64 excellent all those in favor I I thank you motion carries 40 as well moving on to section 10 under fiscal item 10.1 is approv contract
050extension with Compass Group Chartwells division for the Food Service program motion moved second I have a question yes yeah I just wanted to know if the price increase was at all related to any changes funding or if it was just an annual increase um I'm going to say it's an annual increase but I'm also going to say I need to get back to you on that I just I didn't do the work on this so I'd have to I'd have to get some some more information um and then send it back curious about the impact of of potential Federal funding changes on our um on our meal we've seen these these um increases before so I'm that's what's making me assume it's just part of the business but I will I can get that to
051you and and and let you know what the what the actual cost bu on Rebecca's question in the past we had full reimbursement where are we today okay I'll get that for you too thank you have mot not knowing where that would change right okay we have a motion in a second all those in favor hi hi car spor as well item 10.2 is to approve additional funding to the two-year agreement for Legal Services with Dennis Waller and Kelly is there a motion second thank you any question questions yeah I just have I just one question I I understand why the the purpose of the additional but is these were unanticipated or is this something because I think we have had add-ons to to the legal services contracts each year and so should we be
052just allocating more for Legal Services or are these F these are actual cost that we anticipate not having to renew in the future no I think that we need to reallocate more more money to that I mean we're we're expecting somewhere between two I mean I know it's a a large spam of two to $300,000 like in between that range is what we would find um so we'll just reallocate that this year when we were in budget prep right now so we'll in budget prep be able to uh roll over a two to $250,000 you know budget line item for dwk for General Services I mean what we're seeing is an increase in in um you know attorney fees for Special Education cases um some are individual Special Education cases and then student services and
053there's an kind of an interlap or they intersect at some points but it's still just U we're seeing more litigious U activity than we've ever seen yeah have you put together I don't know if we need to see it but a trend line because our expectation is what we're seeming to see is that this just continues to rise and is there a projection there in that we could be used for even though it's not known uh or threee projection for lawyer piece for attorney pie yes we have that yes yes we're looking at that we have a very comprehensive uh spreadsheet um that we're that we've looked over years so we have that um you know that's why I'm guessing we're going to be in the neighborhood of 2 to 300 you know so we'll
054just budget 250 just for next year I know you may not know this but we put this in our multiyear projection it will be in our multi-year projections when we do budget yeah okay we have a motion and the second all those in favor I I I motion carries four o I have 10 point three is to approve uh transportation service plan for school year 2024 through 25 is there a motion moved second I'll second put a question go ahead now uh my question is I don't understand the numbers that's my question okay I don't I didn't I don't really get I know we're getting reimbursed but I don't understand what at the end of the day what is what do we what's our cost here yeah I mean you know unfortunately RC is not
055here today um but what I could tell you is um you know the the information I did receive uh back was that this is a plan started 2024 uh so it's actually a new a new requirement uh for every school district to do that and it's to have access to that $47,000 um in reimbursement that I mean basically we use we we do this or we lose it um you know I definitely can have more of like a presentation on this it's kind of a I mean I don't know if I want say perfunctory but I'm going to uh process that we just have to do um I can get a more detailed like explanation to you but we have to do this by April 1st in order to receive these funds so to clarify
056this then my understanding this is an approval of this plan such that we can get the funds irrespective of what our actual costs are beyond that correct so if we don't I guess so what I would say is if we don't pass this then we're going to be we'll we'll have to come up with $50,000 of our own general fund dollars correct thank you that that's why understand the numbers because they weren't really all that relevant thank you thank you Neil have a motion and a second all those in favor is 4 all right that concludes our agenda items we do have some upcoming dates and events our next regular board meeting is April 10th and wonderful spring break is coming up so April 14th um we do have a need for a for a
