005special ed no we're doing a math update as well so yes there will be a special ed update but as well as math update we have two presentations at the night for meeting at least two okay okay sounds good you want one every meeting or once a month I it on the agenda to discuss every agenda every meeting yes okay um any other questions that's it um all in favor on the option of the agenda hi hi thank you all right um Wendy do we have any comments from the public on non-agenda items okay right Blake I will turn it over to you now for first presentation and I think um first first presentation um Christina bear is here with us today and uh we're going to have a little bit of an update first

006I want to just thank Christina for her work on U lots of things we're really looking at uh this today especially the wer toishi summer program an opportunity to uh provide a service to the community um in a joint fashion as a partner with d Vinci schools um as well as provide we and the dbsf uh boards or funds basically a chance to U find ways to raise more money um maybe not this this year but but in coming years you know hopefully we can we can scale it welcome Christine you thank you for having me here and allowing the opportunity to just give an update on it um we have enrollment I think just that's the most important thing enrollment opens March 1st um for weisburn and da Vinci families so if you have

007a child that goes to a weisburn school or Da Vinci School enrollment we're doing a special enrollment period March 1st through March 15th um and then un noral will open for the general public on March 16th um Camp is uh $350 oh I guess I going to scroll down sorry I'm gonna have that moment that I watch everyone else out there um campus $350 uh for the younger program so we have a fourth through e8th grade program and then we have a high school program um as some of you may know we surveyed families back I think in December I think it was and um The District's done an email D Vinci sent out an email and weisburn Education Foundation sent out an email and 685 kids from 53 families responded saying they were interested

008and would most likely join camp in the summer if we offered it so uh Gary with uh Vinci schools fund um has had criteria first we need kids then we need facilities then we need coaches and we need to not lose money so those are the criteria that we all agreed to when we set this up and we've all been working in incredible part parip with each other and I've been really um amazed to see it all come together and just really proud of our district proud of the schools and the leaders and the schools financial aid is available for All Families um that are eligible for it and we've sent out notifications um the camp is six weeks long four days a week four hours a day for our youth camp our high school

009Camp started out with that frame um but it's changed a little bit as coaches have signed on with availability and facilities and so all that will be up on the website come March 1st um Staffing as of today I can proudly report that we are almost fully staffed the only thing that we are missing is um potentially volleyball at the high school level we haven't quite figured that out because that's when their season also starts and they're practicing normally um so we're playing around with the with with some opportunities and schedules there but our youth program is fully staffed and the coaches with the exception of the volleyball coach all the coaches are the Far City coaches for our high schools so the younger kids will be able to particip there and I just want

010to just do a shout out to all those coaches that have agreed to do it like their Grace and their generosity with willing to do it and their excitement with wanting to be able to connect with the younger kids everyone but we wanted to do it for years um and we're so happy to do it so very happy very grateful for that um as it says cdsf will be the employer of Records so we'll help employment agreements compensation payroll taxes everything will be pay through their insurance and it's like said we don't anticipate large profits this year um the price is ex extraordinarily low as y'all know um and that being said we're going to try and do the best we can it is a pilot program we're hoping to be able to continue it

011year after year um and any profits that are there will be split between Wiis Education Foundation and da Vinci schools fund so both of the foundations that support the organizations for the benefit of the kids and families great any questions on it anything I missed BL no got one question Christina so um obviously I noticed the the summer athletic camps in the past um D's done some stem camps and Robotics are there any plans for that thank you for asking that yeah we're Da Vinci is still doing all of the same camps they have the Ceramics Camp there'll be the robotics camp um the dates are going to change a little bit because we don't want to compete with any of the other camps and so we're hoping that we can create um a scenario

012that let's say if a camp was Kindergarten to fifth grade last year that this year maybe convert into third or it'll happen in the afternoon so the kids can go to bits camp in the morning and then have the opportunity to go there so again first year isn't going to be perfect like everyone's having to bend and flex a bit um but we're hoping that it's going to be a really great experience and we also have right at school who's agreed to do an after school care program at Aviation so the youth program will happen at the middle school and then right at school does their program at Aviation and they'll just walk through a fence they're going to put together special pricing for those families that need extended care that can't just drop off

013for four hours during the summer and they'll do special pricing from noon to 6:00 p.m. okay um [Music] with regards to like the stems and the robotics I know some parents have reached out to me inquiring about that is that going to be posted at some point like March the goal is that it's all up on the summer and weisburn dorg website by March 1st um that's that's the goal um the reality may be that some may trickle on but we have a communication plan for that of like hey new camp posted and we may find that the community really wants more and more and so can we build more in the next four or five months probably if there's demand and space and a teacher willing to do it and yeah and we also

014at the middle school we're we were're budgeting for security so some of the security team from Da Vinci will be there on campus a certified nurses assistant will be on site we're budgeting for a program manager to oversee the whole program at both locations as well as at the connect school for the baseball program um so we're we're we're Staffing to ensure that safety is Paramount and then we have a robust check-in checkout process and a process for indicating if there's injuries or incident reports fantastic thank you any other questions just a comment not a question but I want to say thank you thank you for putting this together and everybody that's been involved it's so nice to see both of the foundations working together collaborative collaboratively for the benefit of all of our students

015I think it's wonderful and um it really brings the community together again nothing like having great Sports and activities and things to bring us all together so thank you thank you pleasure on behalf of everybody that's been working on it and Blake's been on all the calls Matt's been on all the calls like on behalf of everybody though the whole team it's been a really it's been a beautiful and it's been an honor really to be a part of seeing it come together and feeling the excitement around it so thank you guys for being part of it and being willing to make it happen and and for having the facilities to do it thank you very much you per right so I think uh you want me to do an intro for you all right

016good evening we're here tonight to talk to you about our midyear El report this is for the oap that was written back in 20 21 it started in actually July of 21 it's a three-year plan so this thing is touchy I didn't all right there we go the arrow makes it there we go okay so it has a delay a little all right thank you uh tonight we'll be talking about the elap in general its purpose why we have a midyear report and then how we support how the elap supports our overall cohesive planning here in the district we also want to talk about the opap structure just briefly and the budget we'll talk a little bit about the metric and action highlights and then finally what we're doing right now to build our new

017lcap so the lcap U mid years actually part of a Senate Bill we are required to come before you uh in February to report uh midy year on our annual update the annual update I'll be right will be riding between now and the end of the year and this is actually submitted with the new lcap we do this every year it's an accountability piece the mid year on the other hand is simply a presentation there's nothing we need to turn in um but it is mandated that's in the board agenda item uh so tonight we'll give you all the data we are mandated to talk about the expenditures and so forth and so attached to the agenda is a more thorough template that outlines all of our expenses and that and they really are interested

018in in how we spent the money and in our metrics so for the purposes of tonight though I'm going to provide some slides that give a pretty good overview we do have a cohesive strategic plan here in wurn we start with our district mission of course our Board of Trustees then with our priorities and insurances keeping that solid that feeds to our L Tab and our single plan for student Improvement at each site we carry those assurances forward and those two uh reports or plans go in then to our principal collaborative time our PCT and that then that planning time goes into our guiding coalitions on the sites along with our core or community of respect and empathy from there we uh coordinate our teacher collaboration time our grade level meetings our staff means our

019professional development days and our how to which isn't listed there but you know that's three times a year that we have that going here's a quick question Coalition participants and the core participants distinct they are distinct although if someone volunteers to be on both they can the meetings are held [Music] separately uh this the elcat structure is made up of three sections you have your educational partner and engagement that's our surveys our our lcap meetings our PTA presentations and so forth we have a survey out right now for the elcap to our families hoping to to engage more families in that and participation in that survey uh and goals and our progress indicators which are actually called metrics and then our action services and the expenditures thank you to everyone I want to say thank

020you to Dr Harbeck because this is a partnership as we do this work together it's important that fiscal and that services are working together um cohesively the slide you see here is uh for the from the budget overview for parents that was in the lcap document that you approved back in June um again just shows you how the left side is our total budget of the expenditure is about $38 million and then of course um lcff if you take that one piece which is that 70% on the left side you pull it to the right how is that broken down you'll see that that 66% is that other lcf funds and then that little sliver that is about 5% is our uh supplemental fund and again that will represent our unduplicated that up count um

021roughly about 934 students and I want to say 37% um those students earn um roughly the base um the base funding and course Point per above that next slide um here is we have our total budget which was that left side and then you'll see here on the right side this is the total budget expenditures of in the lcap money I'm sorry the left yeah so the 13 million is what this actual lcap plan that was adopted um articulates and um so that's the total expenditures of the actual lcap plan um we're going to be talking about today um so here's the budget expenses on the left side you'll see the lcap budgeted by goal and remember these goals are aligned to U you know safety you'll see that goal one we have the whole

022child goal two uh three future ready and then uh four that is our uh Community collaboration our Dei initiative and then of course five is our organization strength that left side is the total that is budgeted by each goal the right side is that supplemental and again goal five shows zero because you know that would be uh the contributing for those unduplicated uh services and those are more organizational goals like accounting AIT inter infrastructure Aline with our pillars correct yeah those are the next the next few slides go over all of our um each one of those uh assurances and it's just really a breakout I'm hoping tonight just to highlight a couple of things this isn't um totally comprehensive but if you're looking at the top left it says metrics and below it are

023the three areas where we pull the data now this data is from 2023 so C data the California dashboard which just came out in December that is a little bit older dat it's from 23 24 so on the right it just shares with you if we met it if we've already met it or if we're still in progress so most of our most of our metrics tonight are either going to be in progress or um met if we can find you know um the data for that and then below that are the actions for safety things that we are have you know put into play and I'll just point out that in each one of these we have uh supported our unduplicated pil percentage of population so on this list Middle School campus monitoring is

024is supported by that up money that's supplemental money for our whole child far more extensive I think we have 19 different actions here um we go through but if you're looking up at the top that again tells you our met um and how we sustained that wonderful robust music program with children self- selecting the classes at the Middle School uh below we have just a a a lot of um this was a popular a popular Assurance when we went to our committee um but we do have the uh reading intervention the math intervention School counseling and Community Resources are all supported by our supplemental funding and then for future ready I just point out here that we do want to highlight that we have the guiding Coalition is still going uh and our common assessments

025have expanded so the this is really one of our assurances that expanded during the three years that this program was going uh with our math specials being added there on the right uh that was a change just last just this year in our lcap um and then overall really successful if you want to look at the next one as well our community collaboration uh really not a lot of changes going on over these three years which just speaks to the fact that it was a very solid plan even though it was written really during school closure we did on Zoom with our committees uh but we put together a very solid plan that we could live with for three years all the way through and of course that last um oh I think we get

026to it we have uh the diversity equity and inclusion coordinator that's part of our supplemental funding as well and then finally our organizational strength we will there's a little bit of a stretch here we know the importance of it um but looking we want to make sure we had metrics designed that really supported what we were doing with our um not just our finances but our enrollment and we do look at that very closely in our attendance so that of course has been highlighted this year so glad to have had that in our cabinet we're following that and then just looking ahead we are in the process now of building our new lcap over on the left we started in February and March with our educational partner Outreach uh we had our committee meeting we'

027had just over 30 people here just last week had a really great activity looking at our existing actions and determining which we would carry forward and which maybe we could not we could let go or uh or diminish um and then we move and of course our surveys are out there too with the students and the families and our teachers as well uh in April we will be going back to the committee with a draft uh and bring bringing it forward then after that to the board in May and then for approval in June we do take it to Leo in April too for our first look I like to give it to our partners at the LA County Office of Education twice for two looks to make sure that we have everything where it

028should be for accountability purposes and that that is our mid year any questions question question and um so this report is from the the outc cap that was developed in 21 it's it's for the period of 2021 through 2024 the end of this the end of this the end of this school year okay so we're the district's also in progress of developing the new outc right so okay so I think I just answered my question but in the uh in in goal number two for the whole child uh whole child not behind we not do that record um I see on on this report the goal under the ma mathematics was to um decrease students not meeting the math standards by 2% at our last meeting in January on the 18th we talked about re

029benching and resetting that goal to 5% right so the new outc cap that's being developed now will reflect the new updated goals right absolutely and that's a three-year goal so every year we have to go back to it see where we've surpassed it or we met it and we have to report that met not met so I'm really looking forward to the the presentation that we're going to have also on math because um I'd like to make sure that we set appropriately aggressive goals because I think the the more um aggressive or the higher standards and expectations that we set for ourselves we we will stress to try to achieve those so I'm really looking forward to that presentation and and again make the ask in terms of the programs because I think it's incredibly

030important for us to focus on that thank you I do appreciate that and our metrics will be coming back to you and we'll just and for our committee as well and I know Miss nitos handles all of our metrics and engaged in that and making sure that we we really let go this year it's a little bit different you know we have to look uh for this new three-year LC cap we have to look at any time the dashboard showed a red or an orange anything like that that we absolutely have that NAC cap that we're addressing that aggressively and our metrics then align so we started with a logic model to make sure that anything that we put in the elap has a metric to match it so there's this this l cap we

031didn't do that so we'll make sure that the next one has a metric for every single action so we can measure excellent thank you couple things to to that point as as I'm looking at this I'm noticing we're seeing potentially Trends we're seeing have we met have we not met would it would be wonderful if and in the next iteration if we could build a spreadsheet score card to go with this and I talked this before but but I'm I'm looking at that hey how is this I'm having to do the math myself is this are we up are we down is it good is it bad is how are we doing and if we simply had red yellow green or blue for neutral we know instantly know um on another note I believe we

032talked in the past that California healthy kids survey is now being expanded to multiple grades I'd love to see I I we talk about in March I think love to see those findings wantonly all the data but that one in particular really the whole all we'll present those findings I'm that closes this the end of this month this is asking for green yellow red blue don't have all right thank you very much great great job just I just comment Dr her I wanted to thank you for the M year report thank you for the exceptional leadership and and really an attention detail that U that is involved in the lcap and the meeting the meetings that have been taking place to get to this point as well um and looking at the whole child in

033the future ready slides and particularly the action and progress it's amazing the amount of of of work and I appreciate the support that's going in to meet all those diverse need really the diverse needs of our students so um and and how everything's aligned to to our educational goals so thank you very much thank you very much actually pretty inspiring do it is yeah well done thank you all right can I at least an intro here yes so the only thing I just wanted to share was that we actually have a a pretty significant update it's been a while since we brought this back to the board um we are approaching our um cacher next citizens Bond oversight committee meeting um early March and so I did ask Noy just because it's a lot that

034we're splitting this up into two we're going to provide kind of a half update today and then we'll we'll do the second half with the with the 14 presentations we have I think I think I think I failed miserably at this but um we did want to cut it in half because it's just going to be really long and it's still going to be long still going be long good evening Bard Dr Silver members of the audience um happy to be back to provide Bond program update number eight so these are the topics um don't be full just because we only have a couple line items here doesn't mean that that it's going to be short there's quite a bit of slides to review but we'll start with our measure e project updates then we'll

035um focus on our nonbond funded projects which are the Solar projects and then we'll conclude with next steps uh our first project is the network infrastructure project this is phase two of three just a quick reminder phase one was the purchase of the uh Network equipment phase two is the um interor improvements to the data center the building envelope itself and then phase three is the network infrastructure complete overhaul now we'll focus on phase three at the next uh board meeting on March 14th uh but for tonight um really this is our only focus in terms of the network infrastructure project um for the data center improvements project the architect is NAC Architects uh the projects were submitted uh to DSA December 14th we are very close we have received comments comments have been addressed

036we're very close to receiving BSA approval we expect to have it hopefully by next week if not the first week of March we had a bid opening today as you can see February 22nd and I'm very pleased to report that we did not receive any PS and you're looking at me like why are you happy that you did not receive it in this case we are happy because it's such a small project as you can see total budget allocation hard and soft cost is 200,000 so you can imagine just construction alone it's anywhere from 100 to about 130 is the cost estimate that we received we didn't have a whole lot of coverage to begin with we had a mandatory job walk um on January 18th and the two potential biders that did show up

037um they don't have a great reputation um they in fact they were throwing out comments like oh well I'll address it via change order immediately without even reviewing the plans yet um so we were happy that they did not bid the project uh because what that does is that it now allows the district the flexibility to contract directly with their preferred contractor and to negotiate that amount that contract um Shere immediately the minute she saw that there were no bids she started calling um companies of our preference of our choice contractors that we have work with um and she's already on it so we will continue to push so in this particular case this is actually good news we're still on track our goal is to find a contractor um and agree to a price

038and bring it to the March 14 a potential recommendation for award yes are we still looking at a what is that June July 24th deadline we are that for actual construction would be April 1st the start of construction and will be done with construction by May 31st close out is just like getting warranties training and that portion of it but the actual construction is a two- Monon period from April through end of May and I again want to compliment you and thank you for the Gant chart because boy that makes this easier thank you very much thank you okay moving on have no other questions the Delair Elementary School roof replacement project uh this is separate from the Delair modernization and Safety and Security project which I'll bring and discuss at the next board meeting

039um again for this uh site we're only focusing on the roof replacement uh the design standard identified gardland Roofing which is a 30-year provides a 30-year warranty uh as you may recall um our team pushed to purchase the material to lock in the 2023 Cass pricing before the prices went up on January 1st which resulted in a savings of $240,000 um we also um proceeded to bid the project for two reasons one to obviously lock in the price of again $ 2023 but also more importantly to secure roofing contractors which as you know Roger to know roofers during summer are very difficult to find so the fact that we bit the proct um in 2023 we now have signed contracts a contract was awarded last month January 18th to best Contracting Services it resulted in

040an additional savings of $290,000 so we are on track to start construction on the roof replacement project um as soon as school is out and will be done before school resumes great thanks and here is an aerial of the roofs all the green areas reflect um the roofs that will be replaced which as you can see it's essentially every roof those blue areas are are trade structures they're not building lunch area right correct going fast if you need to slow me down please let me know that our next okay great the next project is 135th and Aviation Sports Complex uh our architect for this project is pdk we're currently in the design development phase of the process um there's a lot of surveying for this type of project we have um contractors for geotechnical at

041the same time we are working with our Environmental Specialist conducting the California Environmental Quality act assessment because this is the change in use of the site so both of those critical um processes are are underway um we also started the process of um placing the legal ads for lease lease back procurement this will be a lease lease back um delivery method project um you can see the budget allocation there it's $12.4 million 9.3 million for hard cost 3.1 for soft cost uh this is in line currently with um the initial cost estimate that we receiv received during schematic design which came in at uh roughly 9.8 million for a total of 12 12.4 so we're we're right on track currently um but as you some of you know as we start to design further develop

042the drawing especially into the devel design development in the construction documents phas phases generally prices do seem to go up a bit so that's why it's imperative that we bring the leasing back builder at this stage of the design process to help us um identify the inconsistencies of the plans errors and Emissions cost estimating constructability review a whole thing so and know I me just I mean we did I don't want to say overdue but I do notice um I know you're going to get to I think you're going to show some renderings yes but I do notice a lot of lighting um not saying that it's too much lighting but it looks like a lot and we also have some bad in cage so there is some room for be a little bit corre

043right and part of the lease Le back process preliminary Services that's all we're doing right now we're Contracting for preliminary Services um the as soon as we're done with the design development base the Builder will U provide a cost estimate that will give these are from actual Subs actual contractor sub um contractors so they're much more reliable than a cost estimate from an architect which is for a size a project this size it's imperative again that we bring in that level of expertise but like M said there is some room for potential Des scoping or reduction in does GMP come into this at all it does but not until a much later case right now we're bringing them in only for pre-construction services so it's this through the design development and construction documents spage um

044and then when we get to contract correct then at the end at the end once we have yet the approval of plans then we go into GMP noan has the RFP itself been released for the Le back contractors or not just the legal ad just the ad okay okay so here are some of the very preliminary renderings um it's not completely set in stone but something to for you you guys to to look at this is the main front entry um it provides a focal point and a main entrance to the sports complex this would be off of the um wbg middle school parking lot just looking west from the wiser Middle School par correct and you'll see it in more detail but pay attention you'll start noticing all the muscle lighting now there is

045a lot of engineering involved musco in fact has been involved throughout the engineering Pro process um and they base it on what type of field what type of you so they know how you know how to appropriately um place the lighting strategically to that point having seen these drawings before these lights are placeholders to give us an idea they're not actual placement they're placeholders but they may potentially as the design further develops they may end up here but we don't know yet it's still to early to tell so I just want to say too and know me I sorry um I'm just going to point it out again the gray area that's in between the two um you know the two softball field or baseball field softball field and kind of around it it's all

046actually going to be Turf as well it's just showing it to show distinction between the two Fields so and it might just be gray color Turf just something to provide an a distinction between actual Fields um to you can still use it I mean these are the little things that have continued to be further developed if you just kind of go over this is c soccer field corre highlight the softball field there just so the community exactly and if you recall this is a full CIF um approved soccer field plus it has two it'll be strip for two um un9 um soccer smaller Fields so you'll have multiuse here as well then we have um lit Le and and softball out there I'm sorry this is not cooperating and I think too to note that

047that softball field actually is and and uh C if um Side Softball field so you know the that we needed to play a a high school softball game there would fit and these are the batting cages right there uh they'll also be dugouts um there's another batting cage over by where the building yes thank you I can't get this pointer work and I'll keep moving and see different angles again that white covered building is the that's what we saw AG yes that's the main entry to the building it's not fully designed it's right now they're just placing the box but you saw the potential of what that front entry building on this is gorgeous sorry that's beautiful pressing it and smoothing and so the must go lighting right now it seems like obviously there's a

048lot of lighting still kind of conceptual Point okay we are in mid design development stages uh these renderings were provided a couple of weeks ago like I said I know must go for a fact has been very involved in the process we may still be able to um eliminate a couple of the poles just because of that perimeter that's still to be determined and part of the reason why these renderings were also important not only to obviously show you and then start showing the community but uh they're part of the assessment process for squa um they were looking for you know the number of light Pooles and just proximity to other buildings they look at noise as you know noise lighting traffic air quality it it is the infield also Turf everything to be Turf

049MH but it's again that color so that you can create distinction but it's durable and I don't know if you remember the answer this question because it was we found it odd initially but the softball field is not equally distributed there was a reason for that it's it isn't equal distance I don't think the right field left field are different they are there was some reason for that I'm sorry we should know that again yeah the link yeah I will that's not only it looks that way but it was actually that way I remember there was a reason I don't remember it is and there's the restrooms are towards the entrance yes right off of the it's there in that main building right off of the wiser middle school parking lot there will be another

050uh smaller parking lot next to the m building but it only I believe there was only about 40 vehicles and comparison to a lot more for a lot Sports comp look great one can you back up SEC one one question that came in our facilities meeting was signage yes for this is the most visible thare in our district on Aviation you mean permanent signning is there any kind of announcement like board what do you call digital board something is that I think what Neil's referring to is possibly a sign there no Mar right there on the uh oh we have a lot of scoreboards but you want an actual marking you know not a lot of scoreboards but we have like four that that that came up u in conversation the other day and and

051remember the building right it looks small here but it the it'll be easily identifiable as the wurn sports complex I'm more about this is an amazing opportunity to communicate with the community messaging I like that go back to that last I think he's think in that corner of 135th Aviation right there is he's right there right probably here inside what I'm hearing from the board is we need to cut costs and also add costs just you're hearing from the board is a donation or fundraising right back and we're over budget being serious on that far side so I guess it would be the East Side how about that Nelson um if we did it like on the fart because it's if you have a big Marquee you'll get pretty good coverage I think a lot

052of our you know a lot of our families are turning right or left onto uh 135th to go to some of our schools maybe we put something at the East you know almost at the parking lot where Dana is tilted a little bit so I know it's not right on that front corner but I feel you may get more readability I I think maybe the the the conversation is put that into the equation abely it's not communicating with the community in addition to inward facing don't sure you just okay that's great moving on um you guys have been asking for banners and I apologize it took so long we were waiting for some nice Rend to include in the banners the banners have been um ordered there we confirmed today that they who receed the

053PO and um they're in the print queue we should have these printed and installed by next week at both um the 135th and Aviation sport complex and at the weisburn high school soccer field which that's next and this is what the banners will look like and it already includes um Michelle's name as well okay moving on to weisburn high school soccer field uh as a reminder the at a previous board meeting the board approved moving forward with only the field at this time um we are designing and submitting well we have submitted the plans um to DSA for the entire thing including the bleachers and the scoreboard just so that we have it approved so in the event that there's fundraising or money becomes available at a later date at least we have the DSA

054approval it's much easier to do that now I mentioned we submitted the plans to DSA on January 29th uh we anticipate receiving DSA approval U by the end of April um we are working um on purchasing a actually by the next board meeting you should be um seeing an item come before you asking you for authorization to purchase the material a carpet and the shock pads um under the Cass um at the same time um we have started the procurement the bid this is a design bid build project because of the size of the project um we will be bidding all of the site work basically all the site prep utilities underground um underground utilities irrigation grading and then um the installation will be performed under the Cs yeah sorry so I just wanted to

055u to show this is actually the product that that we're looking at currently that we're uh that we're just doing some final research it's called pivot um a pivot Turf um it's a no infill heavy threading so it actually has all like a lot of plastics that go into and and the rubbers that are in the infill um this doesn't have those and so it's a much cleaner product actually really good plane surface from what I understand I mean at least that's what the sales people told me no but I am looking at um I'm looking at going to uh visit at least one field they actually have 10 Fields now in the Dallas Texas area um and several fields in pay bill in the Arkansas Area so it's heavy in the midwest um South

056and then and then some to the east so I am goingon to before we bring this to the board I will see this field in like action so to speak before we we bring a record they have it's not as a field though it's as a it's like the Halo behind the baseball diamond so it's not actually a playable surface yet so I'm GNA have to go see a playable surface and just the no in alone that is a huge win there's not and you can see the difference of the superior product you can see the difference of the pivot which is superior product in comparison to the typical one that a lot of the other uh firms provide currently which require even organic infill or rubber Qui question U you said that um obviously

057we approving field only what's uh can you just share with us what is left out I mean obviously the bleachers bleachers and the scoreboard that's it score okay you'll see I notic Mr vente Bravo is in the audience so I know the bleachers are very important I'm still trying to convince them to pay for them my own business great no was gonna ask me to pay for them again make a comment about how excited I am about the possibility not that made decisions yet but the possibility of the is that in our research and communication with the community particularly soccer moms literally yes we sharing us not only health concerns of of rubber but also the heat yes um and the fact that this would have none of those issues is incredibly exciting especially if

058we can do it cost effectively so thank you very much excited to see this and Blake failed to mention that he already negotiated a significant discount um in the price list that they provided reduction of $120,000 actually more than that because um the initial proposal was short by 1,000 square F feet I made them race it to the correct square footage that we required and they did not change the price to kept it the same so we are very pleased very exciting very exciting me my understanding this product actually comes with a longer warranty yes 12 years versus the typical Excell from 8 to 10 is the typical you see 8 to 10 this one is 12 years it's that much more Superior and you feel it you see the many you don't even have

059to touch it just by looking at it it's obvious I wanted I wanted them to feel feel it but nobody took Meer so this is another project that we're on track um to as as I mentioned we're going to start the the bidding process um we started the bidding process and we're on target to start construction um Mid M and be done by August 31st just in time for the soccer season right uh the in time for the soccer season in time for the upcoming soccer season right if we finish in end of August yep it would be in time for the season season starts uh September October do for that okay good so we have some renderings as you can see they already include the wiseburn da Vinci logo um it just looks beautiful

060you can see the bleachers to the South um the sports lighting is already there which is great um to the left I don't know if you can see that small black rectangle that represents the scoreboard obviously wouldn't be that small but the placement would be um on the actual side of of the gym um so it's just to give you an idea of what the actual field would look like eventually when it has both bleachers a scoreboard as well here's another he this is an aerial view as you can see looking at the field from the um parking lot where are the bleachers again to the north um hold on I'm trying to get there right there these oh I'm sorry I with up here what's the occy of um 854 I know he W

061on and here's another view the side you can see the bleachers better there the scoreboard on the side of the G you know a question on the bleachers so without being too jular about 2500s is it possible the way these are constructed such that there could be additional bleachers added at a later date behind it to just extend the roads potentially but I don't think so um as you can see the space is very limited um and Sport Li back there so you're going to have to talk to the N Studio owners who will be encroaching on a t Point yeah okay just hoping there was a you Midway blue thank you and this is the banner that will be placed as well um next week okay moving on to the Holland Elementary School TK

062conversion project um as you know this project was a a bit of a problem child from from the beginning um I'm happy to report that design has finally resumed it resum this month uh we have completed all geotechnical investigations to satisfy the additional um reports and requests from DSA uh we recently well I didn't but Greg met with DSA and the design team to to make sure and confirm that this would be the last um report or or it wouldn't require any additional um investigations or destructive testing and they were very pleased with um the information that was provided and allowed us to resume design uh we're planning to submit to DSA on April 23rd and this um revised um schedule reflects when we're anticipating that construction will will start as you can see It'll

063be in January of 2025 sooner if we can but right now this is the timeline that we're targeting unfortunately because there's a lot of structural work Thea will do a full review on this this project so were you going to ask something on no okay so here you can see um and we might be able to shorten the duration once we know more information but right now we're kind of planning for the worst um as we have with other projects where we we have either you know compressed schedules or beat our own schedules in terms of procurement so we're going to definitely try that here as well uh here you can see the both the demolition of the existing walls the walls and red represent the areas in the between the classrooms so will be

064demolished um and then as well to the bottom of the screen you see the the plan that proposed so you can see we're building four um TK appropriately size classrooms with um restrooms in each classroom as well as a space or collaboration space between each classroom or staff okay moving on to the next TK conversion project at Del air um this project um was submitted to DSA December 21st um we anticipate receiv receiving DSA approval first week of um April perhaps even sooner hopefully we're planning to start for the bid process on this project um next week on the 29th and we're targeting starting construction as soon as school is out and also being done uh before um students return in the fall here you can see uh the both the demo on the top

065which really is it's a smaller scale project and I'll try to see if I can get the poter to work we're focusing on just this area here uh we're going to demolish the sink the built-in casework and then we are going to build the new restroom which is required um under TK they also required a sink outside the um the restroom so we're building a new built-in cabinet as well as with sink and providing um moving the Whiteboard to this location smaller in scale and hopefully we'll be able to keep it under budget moving on to our non-bond funded projects this is the solar projects um I'm going to be reviewing at the four um School sites we're going to start off with Aviation Elementary School this is a tenative timeline these are are we're

066targeting the these dates um engineering is currently underway we have been holding weekly meetings with the side logic team and their design and engineering team uh we're targeting ad DSA over the counter subal that's what the OTC means um it does not require a full review it's just been over-the-counter that's how they treat all their projects we're targeting submitting all of them on April 24th and generally it'll take about a week or two at most to get um get it approved if the event that BSA has any comments uh we are planning to mobilize at this site first starting on May 28th um and being substantially completed by July 30th um forgive we bring you in um we had had a conversation in our facilities conversation about the the um charger yes Chargers they're are

067they super fast are they the highest level and do we need to upgrade that to get that we're concerned if we don't have um these might not be state of the yart in that they're not they're charge point they're not I mean they're fast they're a lot faster than your regular house um charge but they're not as fast as the supercharger yeah so you're looking for a Supercharger can we look at that please yeah okay there goes more money but we're gonna have these let's make them useful yeah he keeps saying fundraising so you can see here the red um the red rectangle around the panels that represents the construction fencing uh the plan is to mobilize on May 28th that doesn't mean that we're necessarily going to be putting up fening exactly on that

068dat they'll start setting up they'll bring up a construction trailer um uh they'll start dropping off the fans panels and just doing some uh surveying on the site by the following week we will probably start erecting the construction fencing um the plan is to we have discussed this with Jason and with Blake um and we're going to be talking to the sites very soon I have started to schedule appointments with the principal so that we can um I can bring this information to them and make them aware um the plan is for staff to park um in the 135th in aviation um lot that's the dirt lot we are going to need to do some mitigation to the field before obviously um summer um but we'll make sure it's done before that way we don't

069grow if we do it too early then they they'll continue to grow so we'll make sure the area is leveled and and like I said deleted okay the next project is um Del air Elementary School same um pretty much the same tenative timeline engineering's underway same DSA over the counter however in this particular site we wouldn't be mobilizing until June 7 19 uh with substantial completion on August 29th for the next three slides you're going to see three different colors um these colors represent the fin line as the project progresses so for the first month of construction is the red that's your initial footprint of construction then within anywhere from 3 to four weeks um solar projects move very quickly they will reduce and scale down um and free up that space that is outside

070of the Green Space uh of the green fence line um and that generally is to because they'll be focusing on the lighting on the wiring and working on installing the inverters and then within a few weeks later they're going to scale down once again to just the minimal footprint as you can see the yellow squares and rectangle that represents just perhaps even um anywhere from two to four stalls at a time um where they do the final electrical work work and that's generally in a in a lift without any big equipment and that would be safely um ConEd off or FC orever it is to make sure that it allows for um staff or visitors to continue to park under the solar arrays um this project would be substantially complete by August 29th there the

071actual final completion is until October 7 but that wouldn't affect us opening the parking lots yes this struck me as maybe a silly question but the obviously we get have to get the power from the panels to the um I'm assuming we're uh doing something with the ground and what we have correct but it's all Directional Boring so we won't have to be doing opening trenches it's directional it's just um it's not invasive it's very controlled and only in certain areas it's all the Bings Underground they run everything underground like feeding like like you like you run a cable essentially or you just cut without the open trenches across the entire campus okay thank you poly gland Elementary School I didn't put the legend because it basically the same logic applies in terms of the

072three different colors of the footprint um this particular site will um the site logic team will mobilize June 24th um and will be substantially completed September 10th our goal is to um have the Hol gland staff perhaps Park in um in some of the hardcourt spaces on street parking so those details will have to be fully vetted um but we are definitely working on those Logistics PLS all right and the last side is the the weisburn middle school campus um we're starting June 3rd so you can see all of these sites are pretty much within a couple of weeks of each other will be working concurrently on all four sites uh with the substantial completion of September 6th this is another site that we can work on allow staff to park in the 135th in

073aviation parking or dirt lot is the final completion date the day we apply for the IRA no it's it has to be it will apply but it has to be operational for one year that's why we're hurrying up to finish these projects really so we would not see the funds from that till 2022 fall 2025 or the winter probably and that was built into the calulation yes okay thank you but we'll be able to apply right away and T our Target is to be grandfathered in just like we were with the NM 2.0 ver of the December 31st right well and prior to November the election that's the only thing that puts us at risk so that's great it would be January when whoever the new president is exactly but even PRI the election makes

074me feel they have some [Music] right there was nothing else um that concludes that por of the project updates so a couple of next steps um we will be meeting very shortly um internally first um like and I to start and my team to review potential um projects for series B we'll be bringing those to the facilities committee next and then to the board um following that uh so that is in progress we're going to be working on that in the next couple of weeks um upcoming projects show um I as I mentioned we have started scheduling uh meetings with principles asking them to invite us to one of their uh staff meetings um give us maybe 30 minutes to bring them up to speed on all of the projects that are coming up at

075their sites give staff an opportunity to ask questions and for us to be able to bring them up to speak and to remind me when would series B be uh put to Mark June 2025 June 2025 M and there potentially is there I think we have up to D potentially yes there four series thank you yes it's a 12E Bond program essentially um our next citizens Bond oversight committee um as you know we meet quarterly it's on March 7th I just wanted to put that on here so that anyone from the public that is listening these meetings are public they are in person they're held here in this boardroom 6:00 p.m. on March 7th we welcome any member from the public public and as Blake indicated this is only half of our presentation we have

076a lot of projects coming up uh the other half will be at the March 14th nor just a question on that just because I know that we have a lot of presentations on March 14th is there something that we need to present March 14th or can't that we can't move to the 22nd is that okay would that board be okay if we just push that second half of the March 22nd meeting just to spread out there no decisions being made that were delaying the that's yeah okay so's fin good that's it thank you thank you thank any question I mean thank you the only comment I have is um we're touching every School site as you said and I'm glad you're taking the the show on the road if you will for the school sites

077um one thing that um I I want you to consider BL is that um as we're touching all these School sites I want to make sure that we haven't had a sports Recreation committee and we are impacting areas where typically you know especially your parking lots where we have field use over the summer whether it's baseball or soccer so I'd like to make sure that somehow this information is getting getting out to the um not not only to the rec committees and so forth but also the community so that they understand what's going on so um I would extend that a little bit beyond just the the school side but also to our community at large I think it's great information and actually um if there's a way to put your slides on the websites

078where they can go and see what's happening that would be phenomenal as well so um did you hear that yeah I did you are you you might well answer it now mean we we do have a plan for that so you want to share real quick I mean at least part of it part we we are planning to have the rep committee and then of course that would be a part of with all the different U entities that use the facility DB and little league and you know all those different groups and so we would definitely be sharing all this because this is going to trick like the summer programing what we're going to be doing over the next couple months and we really want to make sure everybody is aware of the plan the

079the timelines um and also the parking that's going to be a big piece of this as well throughout this and it's like listen to Christina with her summer right and Christina are actually meeting tomorrow as well so we're consistently having those meetings just to make sure we're on the same page this is going to be a well overrrated but you know complex plan moving forward but we definitely want to make sure we're sharing with all the correct committees and you guys are part of that process great thank you it's just it's been a while this it's been a while since the community has really seen construction so these are exciting times it just go add to that um this morning Blake myself and Erica quter met as well to try to find ways to get

080this information a lot of all of our project updates um in the community um not only obviously the staff parents but those extended members of that community that may not have children and any of the schools here um we have updated all the the website measure e website the citizens Bond oversight Committee website it has all the most current updat so as soon as I present to you that information then share it so this presentation I plan to share it at this next COC meeting and the presentation will be uploaded so anyone from the community can access the presentations as well as um read the project the latest project updates C measure e page thank you and thank you to the entire n a lot of work coming up this summer so thank you rest

081up all right board reports sorry my computer was l in there so uh board reports uh Roger start with you um looking forward to our followup um meeting with our partners at D Vinci we have a 3 by3 meeting scheduled for tomorrow um and uh last week was it last week last week last week nson and I met Nelson and I met with Joe Weber and re Santiago representatives from D Vinci two more MERS and uh we started talking about some items of collaboration that we're going to focus on into this upcoming year uh so that we can move forward with some items in common um as one that's incredibly important to both of us as it seems is um curriculum articulation is one that we're really going to be focusing on as well because

082uh as our students are moving from um let's just say our our K our WIS K8 and they go to Da Vinci in the 912 uh we want to make sure that we're aligned uh with regards to our preparation just as we prepare them that they're also ready to receive the students right and that they know what we're doing and we know what they're doing so that again the curriculum is is is is is aligned as well and that we're having that conversation there with them we're also we also talked about some uh several facilities projects like soccer field that you saw up here uh just a few moments ago um but we're really looking forward to continuing that dialogue and move meeting on a very regular basis as well um and that's all I

083have for board reports for this for this meeting thank you Robie um Chris thank you uh what's happening with the collaboration between uh D Vining Wier is exciting thank you guys both of you gentlemen for the 3 by3 for Joe Weber and and Ray as well I actually had a nice meeting breakfast with Dr Wonder a couple weeks ago and that was very positive we got to dream so we didn't want to get inv in the way of the threeway 3es we got to dream about education was very fun um but again the collaboration is fun to see and we're all working uh in tandem towards the for the benefit of students very excited U facilities working group Nelson thank you got to preview all that get my head around it which was helpful so

084I could actually not ask as many questions this meeting thank you um very excited about the PLC launch um program meeting coming this uh week from tomorrow yeah we from tomorrow um that's exciting I think you may be talking a little bit about that sure yeah very exciting to see that development and collaboration and data driven decisioning moving us forward in beyond the 21st century start perod exciting um I also wanted to point out some thank you to Dr Hasty um in the uh in the materials is an item about the uh vertex I believe is is the company correct uh that does um tell help me out what I what am I trying to say here they're the the company that gives us the warranty for and I just wanted to point out to

085him and to everybody our job is is in part of duary one where it's our responsibility to kind of just validate verify numbers so if ever I'm asking about numbers it's not that I'm doubting anybody it's undoing my responsibility to represent our community so um I did bet those numbers and they're beautiful numbers and that they make a lot of sense and uh this having got that information I'm in a better position to say yes this is a good idea to vote on this particular item so thank you um finally uh the csb actually one more after this the csba finance group is talking about potentially the May Revis this this weekend I'm excited to learn about that or something to that extent a budget more like an update on pulling different different um agencies

086together you know reports from different agencies together kind of in one relative to schools I don't know if it's so much that might be ahead of the game correct yeah but looking forward to that and then finally fin last thing um and this came to us some time ago and I just wanted to bring this up for our review is um a couple Jewish families reached out to ask about uh our holiday schedule and relative to the to the Jewish High holidays and I'd ask us to look into that um and not only for the Jewish High holidays but all potential uh minority groups who may not be represented uh and just explore what that what would that mean relative to our schedule so if you can get back to us on that what our

087options are look at you because I think you were involved in that um and that's it for me thank you thank you Neil um as you can see uh these are wonderful times at at w um wonderful times at w sounds interesting um you know as you can see from the presentation that Christina UD M and Noami there's just a lot of great work taking place and I just simply want to say BL thank you for the leadership and your and the cabinet and the work that's taking place as Neil said the collaboration is taking place right now with WIS and D Vinci um it you know it truly is a a wonderful work that's taking place and um you can see it it's Illustrated um and I I shared the same Sentiments of my

088my colleag it's it's it's really great we're all Groll in the same direction it's exciting and uh a lot of lot of good things happening so that's all I have to say and I'll turn it over to the for district leadership reports uh P you don't have anything right yes I do you do that sorry surprise go it's right um yes so I just wanted to say that later on on the agenda there's an action item 10.2 which is a resolution for um March as a developmental disabilities awareness month and so to honor that um Dr Ingram and I are putting together a parent education parent and caregiver education night the week of uh the 24th 25th March 25th we haven't quite nailed a date down yet but we'll be having a meeting for all

089parents in the district um caregivers and um including special education families of course that includes everybody and uh we're going to top the topic is going to be centered on neurodiversity so we're still lining up a guest speaker so I just want to share that thank you I know Rebecca would be particularly happy to hear that so a shout out from you have a presentation just two slides I didn't know if you just to give an update um want to make sure the next time I'll be the next time I'll be presenting will be uh March 15 for the second interim report so just wanted to give you an update on some of the assumptions that we're already making and kind of tell you where we are as we're developing that um we get to

090the next slide there we go so this is U we use these are the state level this called this is from the dart board um comes out from school Services of California but just gives you kind of a breakdown in some of the numbers again there's a lot more to this I'm not going to get too deep into it but you know that Top Line um shows that uh the cola for the current year and you see that 76 um a forew warning again nothing officially yet but there's been some murmuring that the 76 might go down some more um I have not that's just we don't know that yet but it's something that people are grumbling about the legislative analyst office came out with another report kind of saying hey the deficit back when

091we were at Co was less than what it is now so we don't understand how Governor New how you're going to do this they're kind of they're they're you know so they're at odds a little bit and so hopefully we'll land somewhere um not where the Lao is is telling us um but you'll see there when we talk about funding in general um we break this all down you see the uh base Grant so 2023 based on the grade of the student you can see that a TK through3 is $9,99 per student for that ADA um but that gives you kind of how we break that down in totality um one item to look at you see that transitional kindergarten TK add-on um from the we budgeted for about 50 um I think students and

092we actually right now are looking at hitting about around 90 so we're going to see a significant increase in revenues because of that um but you can imagine if you take that um you know 30 or so we're talking well you know around $100,000 exra dollars in Revenue but again I always say we'll have more Revenue but that means it we'll probably have more expenditures so we have to correlate that and expenditures aren't fully fine-tuned yet until I get to the second ter when I I'll present that um the CPI um just consumer price index that is where we are and we're calculating that's really what affects our inflation um so we're projecting that inflation throughout um for our MP and of course California Lottery that unrestricted per Ada um you see that 17% stays

093flat throughout and these are really the state level assumptions um other things to not and I'll just throw it out there overall if you were to ask like average Ada where right now at around $1,439 for if you took all the students to say where we at with all the add-ons and everything we're if you know per student we're averaging around 11,439 students uh another one we see here um we do we do have an increase in enrollment we're going to see a significant increase over the hundreds of thousands um based on in Revenue because of that enrollment and and it really and I say en roll one I should say attendance I'm sorry because of the increase of attendance and we can go to the next SL 8 88 88 I should say 88

094what is % okay so we're we're at 95 but I'm putting this up here and you'll see that third bullet under L lcff revenues we have to be careful with what we I project conservatively U we looked at the last nine years and we just looked at where we averaged between P1 that's that first certification and then we have P2 over the nine years we've always seen a slight decrease so we kind of you know last year we had an increase but you know we have to look at that average so we're really careful so um are we at 95 as of today once it's certified but right now we're going to build second interim based on that 94.75% where we what we were doing and that was a flat projection before so that's good

095news um you see the total enrollment obviously that's um we're keeping that flat for sequel years uh the up is staying the same but just remember that's our low social economic you know English Learners Foster Youth and then um we had that other revenues I talk about the RDA the Redevelopment agency money same same assumption there and then if we get down to the bottom this is just something you probably haven't known but we always um look at certificated staff step in column and so we we look at them about 2% because you know when we look at all the people if they're moving over and getting that increase for the next year we we say about 2% on average and then for classified uh step in Comm we look about 1% and then workers

096comp about 1.5 as assumption so um I think that's it and then I just want to say we will be um I'll be working on getting the Committees um so we'll have the budget committee we have the the rep committee and then we have the tech committee needs to come together so I'm I'm definitely looking in April at that time or March April we'll be scheduling those have those meetings in the near future we want to get Sports and Ral sooner because usually we do it January February so might maybe we can definitely do that thank you thank you thank you I do have a quick update on math I'm sorry it's not on the agenda I apologize for that but I do want to share with you that we wrapped up today our uh

097first pilot of Eureka for the new map adoption 2K5 and interestingly enough this year we for the very first time we surveyed the students all the way from K up we used emojis for the little ones to pick what they wanted which I thought was a cute idea on the part of Miss compen um we also surveyed the families that were touched by the pilot um as as well of course as our teacher so great results coming out of Eureka which is put out by um great mindes and then we'll be looking at I ready now for our next pilot which is put out by um curriculum and Associates so uh on top of that I just want to share that this year we did something a little different you know we do that star

098Benchmark testing but miss nitos uh went out to the teacher collaboration times each time we test it to review the data with the teachers more so with the 3D through 5ifth they add on to their testing aside from The Benchmark they do interim assessment blocks which are tied directly to Cas testing so miss Mito sits with uh the team at grade level go through the data and then they identify uh where the points are that they need to work on most recently second semester Miss Compton's joining miss mitos and miss compson is our math specialist to hear what the data says and to work them with the teachers on an ongoing basis on what they're going to work on and I know she's going to talk more about that on the 14th of March U

099Miss mitos will be back and front of the board um at your March uh 28th meeting I believe to show you the most recent Star data which is coming out it will finish up March 22nd this data is important we use it in the elcap and uh we use it for reporting purposes to the school board it's a third quarter H finish on their math sorry go ahead please how long do the Pilots Last I think it's eight weeks eight weeks yeah and where are we with the Eureka one is that one all wrapped up W up yeah some some are extending through this week because we have a late start getting the materials but we'll have plenty of time for the ready and then the ready also okay yeah my question had to do

100with teacher supports this is not something the students may know anything about or the parents would know anything about how are we I'm assuming each of these two uh programs have teacher supports that vary and are different I'm sure you're looking at those but I want to make sure that that's critical to me that we give the teachers the support they need behind that the students and the parents may not see that and I want to make sure that's emphasized program right and very different surveys so the teacher survey is more in depth that really goes into ease of use technology how it affected their students assessment all it yeah take Lake okay um first does anybody want to see Turf see it I know I'm pretty pretty excited about this um had an opportunity

101to to um go to the hollyland neighborhood association meeting uh this week they had their annual meeting maybe it was last week and um had an opportunity to present the district's priorities uh talk a little bit about our strategic planning um also led into talking about obviously our project so being able to get out in the community and do that so that was a nice opportunity um also had a chance to attend the we board meeting that was on Tuesday night um and one of the things I brought up and it's Rebecca's not here but she was there actually but but but I we we we're starting to address one of the comments that she's made in previous board meetings related to looking for development opportunities and and maybe working in collaboration with with the

102Ed Foundation to have a person who actually goes after some of these grants some of these larger grants um there is a grant uh series of grants that I've been tracking over the last couple weeks uh related to school safety and it's it's VAR so it's not all about physical safety some of it is but it also looks at school connectedness um you know it looks at character education things like that that that helps support you know students uh feeling safe on campus social emotional well-being um Etc also uh as Dr Goldman shared we have an opportunity I want to thank Dr Moore from elag gundo Unified School District for inviting us to attend the csba budget workshop and legislative Workshop um that's happening on Saturday 10: a.m. at the elsag gundo um Performing Art

103Center their Auditorium I guess um so look forward to doing that um also on next week um take uh Sheree and I are taking a trip to the Cisco headquarters and um we're going to be meeting with some Partners there as we look to really start finalizing these last we basically need to get to to some answers on this technology infrastructure upgrade and and and the materials and equipment that we'll be using so hoping to get a little bit of maybe closure or opening I guess in some ways uh to look at some of these these firms that that could install but also uh being able to see um Cisco offers several several different lines of so you have your your T Network infrastructure but but also um there's camera systems access controls and things

104like that so wanting to make sure that those decisions that we start making we'll be bringing that to the board probably is a series B priority looking at camera systems and access control uh of course except for Del air that will have that sooner um just wanted to get a more comprehensive look at some of those um some of those options and and be able to work work there so doing that next week um also want to thank Dr Ingram um the core team District leadership team related to student behavior and and character education and so forth um you know it's been a long road to get to a point where we think we have a character education program that we like to bring to the board um and I do know know conversation you

105know with Roger that there's a couple things that we want to address on I just wanted to share those those items with you just so that we make sure we address them but just to have the board be um further understand or better understand whatever uh you know agenda item we're bringing whatever character education item looking at what the philosophy of that company is related to to this um samples of implementation maybe uh some outcomes that that are expected and then you know basically the why why are we actually why are we selecting this firm so hopefully it's part of that presentation that we bring back on process I know you're going to bring back a process which was fantastic by the way U really awesome uh uh really comp has of process that we

106also share some of the the details about the uh particular uh company so um also want to share that on March 5th um so that's just a couple weeks from now we're going to have our second uh quarterly well we call it the quarterly collaborative with our labor partners with WFA and the ca U we sent out a survey we're going to start going through those results this is the second this is a to me this a very very important opportunity for us to listen here be able to respond to some of the some of the item some of the challenges but also maybe celebrate some of the good things that that are happening so I'm excited for that uh it's an opportunity for all the administrators U and and um our Union leadership to

107be in the same room be able to have these conversations um so again March 5th I also want to share this is kind of professional personal but last weekend um my son's a gymnast and they had a an event a gymnastics event here at the at the D Vinci um wi D Vinci gy and I just wanted my hats off to to a few people first of all bente and Nancy um for I mean what a level I mean this is an unbelievable level of service and quality of service that that that team offers to people just a you know to them a random group essentially is coming in um security staff their campus supervisors were I mean Super impressive and you know you have a lot of people I mean there was I think

108they ended up with maybe 2600 3,000 people over of course of three days or four days or whatever it is and you know not everybody walks into these type of events are happy you know and so you're dealing with some some things you know I mean just to be frank you know people are you know there's lot lots of walking involved and waiting and and so just their their ability to have good conversations with people it was just amazing I'm just going to say as as a parent as a know Community member in some ways I just thought it was really amazing want to point out their campus supervisor staff there sprting Center on a lot of of those things and then lastly to El Police Department who actually Chief Bermudas there authorized additional um

109officers for that specific to this event um and so there was a police officer El was police officer kind of mingling with the crowd walking in and out but there pretty much the entire time over over the weekend and so just want to also thank elund Police Department um I am preparing a message to send about two the officers Gilberts and Mendoza who are SRO officers here and really just did a fantastic job and Outreach community building and all of that um also want to share you know and I I believe I shared this at the last meeting um sorry I have a lot of updates today but um a lot going on we we do hold we have our two Focus priorities in the district this year you know we presented to the board

110mathematics and which should probably be a future Focus area for a long time but but right now you know it's math and then social emotional learning and um student wellness and in that um we we do hold meetings once a week uh those meetings include myself our captain and team Monique and and Holly and Sarah as we go through progress towards those weekly um so I just want to share with the board it is something that you know actually Dr Goldman you know brought that up as as an option just basically saying if you're not looking at things on on a very regular basis that you know it's hard to track so us us getting together on a on a weekly basis sometimes it's short sometimes a little bit longer but but really focus focusing

111on those priority areas and seeing progress towards it um is is just instrumental so I want to thank you know Monique and Sarah and Holly um who's not here because I know it's probably um you know it's probably a bit tedious to have to do this every week uh but just want to thank them for for pulling that together and then lastly um while I'm at Cisco unfortunately um I'll be missing our March 4th uh professional development day but but really been instrumental in um I have I have been very involved in planning this and I just want to say um you know 2018 we started our PLC process here in the district we brought solution Tre in we built our guiding coalitions um since then we've built our win time throughout the day uh

112we built teacher collaboration time we we have all these structures in place and you know as as we were doing that as we were building 1819 1920 pandemic hit kind of sidelined us for a little bit but now we're now we're back and I'm really looking forward to solution tree coming back out we're going to be visited by Dr assuming the board um you know approves this agenda item Dr David Stewart um who has really had a lot of success in in helping lead districts through this PLC process um you know we have all of the tools already in place like I said we have the structures in place we're really excited about building that Collective efficacy around student data around student outcome and positive student outcomes talking to superintendents across Los Angeles County actually

113across the state essentially um one of the keys to those uh model PLC school districts which I hope to be um really over the next you know 3 to five years is seeing this achievement Gap closed due to the work that's happening in those meetings in the classrooms related to data and these real professional collaborative conversations with staff we have a very professional staff um really makes a difference for kids it makes a difference for achievement I send that back to Roger to you know really looking at we can improve math I know you asked that question a couple times probably by you know prob more than a couple but you you've publicly shared at the last couple board meetings like what do we need and what are we doing to help support you know

114student outcomes particularly mathematics say this is probably going to be the single most important Mission critical initiative that we'll do over the next 3 to five years to see student outcomes improve to see closing the achievement Gap to see Improvement in mathematics and reading and writing and all of those other things but we'll highlight all of those so I'm really excited about this um but I'm going to miss it but but I know e will be there to lead things off and and you know we have a good team of people there too so but excited and I know I believe maybe I know Dr Goldman sure he may be there as well so excited that you all will be able to uh to be a part of that I think uh think that's it

121a second from Neil all in favor I itic item 10.4 is considered adoption of resolution number 2 [Music] 34.227399 in in managing our budget managing our finances um it's in no way representative of how we feel about these people um you know who are in these positions we're serving this important role for our students and you know um just due to the nature of the work that they're doing is a temporary position that we have to do this every year but um to that point this legally must be done prior to March 15 yeah this always regrettably do this but it is just fiscally requ okay um need to take a vote yeah have motion from Roger second from Neo all in favor I thank you facili items any objection from my colleagues on taking

12211.1 and two together none you have a motion than you Roger 11.1 and 11.2 thank you second thank you comment and um um comment Blake I'm assuming you have point two yeah yeah yeah I just want to just share that we did have with the appointment of Michelle gby to the board she actually had to uh she had to remove herself from the seok the citizen Bond oversight committee it was effective on January 31st so uh we did um since we had just done this process you know we did confir a legal counsel legal council said that we should go to go to the pool of those appli that still came uh that already had submitted with the first round so we did um and uh we did reach out to Kathy Gore um she's

123on here just a wonderful Community member you know super involved and engaged really excited to have her voice on our seot committee you assuming approval all in favor I fantastic and welcome this Bo to the oversight Committee Action item fiscal um can we take 12.1 and 12.2 together as well so thank you Neil second second thank you Roger any questions or comments question on 12.1 yeah um so this isn't this is an increase for services to salant of $90,000 from the previous 130 correct that's great so is there if this is not approved is there are there current students that would be negatively impacted right now or is this something that we can look at other type of services in in a holistic approach because I know we have a presentation believe at our next

124board meeting when we see the overall budget this would impact um many students we have five staff members that serve in multiple roles to support kids so this is more Global for the program for special at different sites y yep okay and we had hoped by December that we were going to fade out using this Alliant AIDS and bring in our own staff and we have been hr's been you know able to bring staff on but unfortunately needs have Arisen in other areas that were unanticipated and so we haven't let those people go because we've needed them to stay got it yeah and this is also a balancing act to because I think there was also Savings in one of the other programs right from I think it's star that's correct so contract with star

125California and we have had uh we anticipated the student would be coming in when I did board approval or request board approval back in August that student didn't show up this year so that's and then we had another student that moved on to another setting so that's two contracts that we're not going to be used so that money can be shifted over into sance so we're not asking to increase more money it's really just kind of shi okay thank youas safe to say that this is within the overall special education contract budget cor correct this is U not the total budget but this is also going to be included um in our second ER we've taken this and put this in our projection as well and so we are within budget total totally so um

126but yeah contracts me do to increase number of students total um you know we have we've gone up I mean that's it but overall budget we're still within the budget at this point and then these additions will be included with what you see for second hour okay thank you take you rer so I got a motion from Neil second from Roger on 12.1 and 12.2 all in favor I I thank you um upcoming in dates and events uh Blake you want to take it away sure and I actually am going to share that at the next board meeting you'll notice a little bit of a change to the agenda we're actually going to under our report board member report we're actually going to have a principal highlight principal report too where we're going to include

127some of the High um some of the key dates this is better to come we're going to collect them it'll come it'll come from them and probably at a time with more people people are actually you know listening they may tune out by by now in a meeting so it gives an opportunity for principal to share and they'll also share a couple highlights from their school so we just figure that may be a good addition um nonetheless uh we do have our wiser Middle School winum um that's an opportunity for families a lot of times it's families that are you know one grade below or or a couple grades below so six sixth graders may go see seventh grade classrooms and and fifth graders will come up and see you know the Middle School Etc
