004if you didn't know, I began my time in the district of Belfower, eh, like an eagle. This OC and no n more was in this I was in this elementary school from kindergarten to sixth grade grade, but he was also part of the first uh dual classes that are implemented at the school. If they don't know What is dual immersion, I'm going to use as a promotion. Uh, the program of Dual investment is a program that makes proficient in English and Spanish dividing their time from kindergarten to sixth grade degree in the curriculum in both languages. For example, when I was in Kindergarten, uh, the regular curriculum is It was divided into 90% Spanish and 10% English. I I know many of you too They think, well, how is he going to learn? English? My

005mother thought that too. But as we move on to the 3-year mark school, the margin begins to close between English and Spanish up to the 5050. And if you think about it, most of The young people go home speaking English, around people who speak English. They constantly hear the language, the The program is for rapid acclimatization to the new language, so as they grow up they becomes competent. a couple of photos of my time as an eagle, a pair of teachers I loved very much, ma'am Julin, uh uh, Miss Garcia, for For example, I didn't get to all of my education is predominant until I became a monsun, I am in 12 degree. This, I realize, I remember that in High school gave me, gave me the step towards success, I acclimated to the new

006The campus is before entering the school preparatory. In high school he was part of the student association and part of the class in continuing in dual immersion to the team. With this I think that Getting to high school was going to be more easy to get involved and eventually this expand my repertoire that allows me to reach my extracurricular activities. Something that I think makes this more Oh, how lovely the school is to be involved. It has very good programs great. There are a couple of programs that I They stay there when things get tough. hard. I have been this president of every year in school. This year I am the President of the Student Association General. I've been involved with football since ninth grade and I played for 4 years too I played volleyball

007for 4 years and they appointed me captain in the twelfth year. This in the team of this link for the new students to the school and also from choir of eh presentations and arts this scenic. That vice president was, now I am vice president in that association. We came in first place in a competition in Alamitos and I was the best soloist in my division.

Uh, the program has This country has had its ups and downs, but this year, the first year he came, he created culture this first year that he came and He rebuilt the program, I would say, and I think he's done a

010great job. Many of you know Mr. Sunders, a man of many talents, creative and It shows in everything he presents at school, one being the new Jazz Renaissance for the month of African American history. The lady Campbell, the choir teacher of presentations, one of the people eh more emotionally intelligent than I can meet so many talented singers.

The superintendent or a The designated representative is going to communicate with the parent, guardian or member from the community if the comment asks follow-up. Although the board meetings are not public, are open to the public. Individual speakers have 3 minutes to give his word and will limit himself to 21 minutes as described in the law 93.2, two, unless otherwise stated different by the board of directors. Come on, Maion can come here. Good evening, President Garza, Board members, present Dr. Simen and district staff. I am Kim Ashen and I've been in the district for over 30 years in primary education and I am here for to present what he

046is doing with the behavior aids. They are capturing their hearts to to create relationships, but it's being said that the following behavior They will move every 6 months from their squads starting on the first of June. He asked me why. The The teachers were not asked, The students didn't ask him, then. Where is the communication located? How will this benefit the staff? Students, how's it going to be? effective for establishing relationships with students and staff. The students who feel deregulated They need consistency and stability. The current assistants have established the necessary relationships for regulate and prevent matters from becoming They climb the ladder and know which issues they know about first to find out which ones they need Supporting and moving them is not what it is better for everyone. So please let them establish

047their relationships with the students and staff and Keep them in one place for at least one year, if not longer. We were also told that those assistants They are required to work during the summer. Teachers can work in in the summer if they want to apply. So why aren't the assistants... Are you giving him this option? This will never happen It was a stipulation previously, So why his contract and the language is changing suddenly. Personally, uh recently a meeting of special education allowed him to give contribution and leadership the district told them that if they weren't Okay, they could leave. And if each voice Listen to how our motto is said, So why the assistants of Their behavior is not being listening. My assistant is always present, always learning and doing more than which it

048should and does by supporting with a positive attitude and a smile. This committed to helping students every day, and this makes the My staff and I are sad because he and the others are not being valued. TO The teachers told him last year that He was going to have an assistant from behavior to support the students who are deregulated, already that the amount that need support from behavior has increased year after year year. This is supported by the data which were collected by the Center National Education and its statistics. We were very happy to have the support, but with the increase in classes special education, those helpers They are supporting students even more, and it is This is not so much that they cannot be Attention to others, more is needed support. We have been

049told about the students who are jumping fences, destroying classrooms and nobody can come and support. How is the security of the other students in the rooms? Some sites do not have AP with the increase in behaviors. The Teachers say they call the office to have support and nobody is there present. We need more support in the special education classrooms where the behaviors are getting worse. We also need more support for the students from Teque up to sixth grade in the classrooms. Thank you. Thank you, miss. Father Navarro may pass. Good evening, President Garza, members superintendent Simen and esteemed staff. I'm Barley Navarro and I've been in the district for 36 years. I have witnessed the changes that have what happened with COVID and technology and It hasn't always been for the good of all. I

050am here to address the recent adoption by the district of Los Angels of a resolution to limit the screen time of the students. I hope the table can adopt a similar resolution, since the same problems that the district of Los Angels also harm students. We can't control what happens here. At home, however, we can control and limit the time they spend behind in front of a screen in the school. Data from the Institute The National Health Service indicates that being exposed to the screen early This leads to consequences and outcomes. negative afterward, such as a performance native results here, eh diminished and fewer connective skills. I'm in the third year as a teacher and before I was a kindergarten teacher. AND although there is a benefit for technology, considering a limit in schools and have

051more work Paper and pencil help us with the motor skills and also their skills and abilities. Least The screen can help, but for the They shouldn't be made too small. By Please take into account speaking and adopt these limitations. Thank you. Thank you, Mr., Miss Navarro, Dr. Robinson, I think there are two points about which you wants to or is going to talk. Yes, that's correct. Well, here it is. Hello good nights, president of the board, Dear Board. valued, superintendent, cabinet, all the members in the room. First I want that boarding was sitting in a DG meeting last week because we are advisory committee listen to things beyond from Elcap and what came in was they're going to hear the tonight's report, the changes in the universities. What I want to tell you that we

052say race, but upon seeing We say university and college, but It seems that there are more changes. university college and university. We are higher than what the state requires. 96% graduation rate and there is Another math class, another one is already an option third year of mathematics or science. Now we are going to require your third year of mathematics, remove health. I asked my son, I said, well, that's stupid. He says, why? is the only class that Apply your true life today in the future. Third, they are going to remove one social science. I don't know if it's history or political science, but we live in a economics where young people need to know where we come from because that will expose where we're going and how it works governmental structure. And no, no I

053want them to get rid of that class neither. I'm not, we're not looking at the trade because we are uh Renaissance education and technique. We are following the others in the uh, the jobs are very much... skill and good pay. 3 millions trillions of dollars have invested in California for education technological. We are the national leader. That helps the economy; it offers options. to students in the future, options to buy a house. The students did not They can buy a house in this community, But the students did. This, Native American students and homeless and students. Higher registrations in these eh Vocational education classes represent 23%. We had COVID in between those times. years, in 2025 Newson signed the master plan for career education. So, in instead of making it more difficult for students in the

054system we have, Why don't we look for an option so that Continue further? Uh, second thing I want to address, as a member of the community, I I want you to know, have this an estto, But I want them to have security instead overpay. There was a campaign to re-election and 6 days later a member of the community, no, a parent, No. Teacher, I've been here for 26 years, Uh, I haven't seen anyone exhibiting their concerns. They are killing your son, Your child is deteriorating last 4 years and everything, everyone He sees it. The board members are not insurance. Nobody is safe. Peter Horal sits here week after week and she publishes them at home. Last year He did this to me. when he publishes them about You, you are very fruitful, uh vulnerable. This

055is a campaign to stain for a board member. I I understand that they cannot have an order of restriction because it has not made a threat. What do we do until someone Will it be harmful to change the law? Nobody He asked to speak, but I'm already speaking because we are talking about safety for the young people and students. You are the those who guard the community. But It's safe for you, ask the legal advisors, how do we handle this? issue. Because if young people do Your student's bullying, we separated them. They do it on the playing field, we separated. If they keep doing it, We put them in two separate rooms and if No, in two different schools. And if not, They are replaced, we remove them from the district. But that doesn't apply

056to members of the Board of Education and are vulnerable, They share their personal lives to have relating to them becomes a target in the community. That's not it. good. I want you to talk to the legal advisors because if you don't They're sure, none of us are. we will be. Thank you, Dr. Robinson. John Paul is the next speaker. Good evening, John Paul Dreer, class of 1980 of Bellflower High School We had a discussion about why the tuition fees are both 3%. We didn't expect so much low enrollment in registrations. We need to focus on why they are going out to others going to others districts. On my walk in BF, in the North of BF, where I live, I asked a A parent, do they go to local schools? your children? No, my son

057went to Mayfer until yesterday. What happened yesterday? Well, it's just that He said he likes three different ones. sports, seventh and eighth grade, wants be prepared for high school, the teams of uh the first teams and Mayf offers high school students playing against other schools in a way eh of competition. When I went to Bellflower High School, the team of golf tennis, we played against Catalina, the high school versus the middle school, we We arranged to meet on the weekend, we stayed In the gym, we played different games sports, local high schools to give us experience and other things middle schools. He's going to the county of Orange, the private school in the Orange City It's a 30-minute stop He drives, but he enjoys it a lot. Have that, well, to compromise the Young people

058like students the students. I was a finalist in athlete of the year. We need to find out because. That's just one reason. By What other reasons are there for why? which their young people the young people do not want go to high school? Another one Father told me about matters of security, they want them to separate from the high school students. He is sending their children to schools Downy. Downy 2038 graduate, this uh future graduate. We want them to do balance the 3-year budget to include these topics of registration. I know that they have seen social media, where there are information on keeping the youths. It's a high school, elementary school, high school. Where we are? At what level do we lose the more students to be able to address this The topic? Parents of

0593-year-old children, We have a great TK program, we have to attract them. Where does he go to school? teak, eh, your young man? We must have a map for parents of 3-year-old children years are ready for next year. A map that shows them where it is. Thank you, Mr. Dreyer. It can happen. Forward. J Shu. I said it correctly. Yes, thanks. Good evening, President Garza, board members Dr. Simon and the district and administration Ju name. He served as a music educator in this title for 28 years urgently. I'm here tonight to express my deep concern about the restructuring budget graduation requirements in preparatory school, especially in the subject of foreign languages, and registration dual, this and put them in a single category, art and music classes including. I strongly support CTE and other programs to

060enlist young people for the post-secondary education in universities. It gives them a This is not a very pleasant option. This one no more We are changing the requirement, but we are decreasing the enrichment of education our student of our students. There are only 4 years in the high school. In this brief window we ask the students to prepare for the rest of your lives. us we focus heavily on what happens after school and careers, but we don't forget that this is 4 years of very fundamental for the experience of human being. Experience in teamwork, sports, arts of scenes. As adults we can change careers, return to university at the age of 40, 50, 60, but it can never be done return to high school. Hey, think about that for a second. He can't to claim,

061to claim time that one spends discovering a passion for, let's say, on the canvas or the scene. Hey, why do we want them to be mini? adults before they become academics. Uh, at Bellflower school we have invested quite a bit in the arts Bellflower and Mayfir. Uh, we cultivate environments where students find this socio-emotional growth, academic excellence, but forcing these programs that compete under a single stage eh we take the risk of eliminating some. Les eh We instruct that this is a one a second path to follow, but Let's protect our resume for everything student so that they have the opportunity to become an artist, academic, linguist so that he chooses neither one nor the other. must have a rich education in instead of something as simple as a list where you no longer need

062to check an option. Many Thank you, Mr. Shu. Can Please move forward, Miss Ramirez. That's correct. Good evening, board members, superintendent, cabinet. My name is Marisa Ramírez. I stand before you because name of many parents in Steven Faster, not just to talk, but to advocate with all my heart for the retention of Chrystal Jackson at elementary school Steven Foster. As a registered nurse I have dedicated my life to caring for others. The most important action, the care of Health is where continuity matters and It heals. When there is trust, it They build relationships and someone... He truly knows, not just his name, But its history. That care is exactly what Christopher Jackson gives our students all the days. No more students see the pass by, he knows them, he knows their battles, strengths, families, he

063realizes when something is wrong before something else person and she tries to help, no n more of an administrator, but being a presence in their life. For many of the children, students see the stability, spirit and security. And uh Chris Jackson is one of the reasons why which that exists, the program of the welcome meetings. Uh, if it has been Part of it is great, the opportunities after school, uh, the doro, PDIF and the student championships. These are ways she creates connections and love throughout the community and that Trust matters, the kind she creates. because when they feel watched they They present themselves when they feel supported They learn differently. And when it has security flourishes consistency This also saves lives and also trains futures. Removing Mrs. Jackson is not allowed. Any change of personnel

064is a loss of stability, connection, someone who has has been a cornerstone in this community or please consider not n plus the position, but the person, the role and the relationships she has the no more a decision that they are doing, but a lasting impact eh that will have their children in the young who have that support on a daily basis. Please keep Mrs. Christa Jackson as director in Steven Foster. Thank you for your time and heart in this decision. Thank you, Mrs. Ramirez. Can Should I ask Miss Baker to come in? Good evening, board members surprising and members. I am Amy Parker and I'm here to express my support for the people, eh director of two years, Chr Jackson. I urge you respectfully ask them to reconsider their resignation by the end of this

065year. I I am a mother and have been employed for 5 years with Think Togethers, where I am a supervisor students on a three-hour lunch break and I work lunch and two breaks. diary. I can tell you that Miss Jackson is one of the best things that It happened to us in elementary school. within their first month with us, She learned the names of each one enrolled student. He was visible and present in the squad salting students, interacting with the families, the staff instead of hide behind a door office. This level of dedication and Accessibility makes a big difference in our school culture. Laita Jackson has contributed so much to our staff, including helping to start the Abit program. launch Steven's Instagram account After to connect with family and create areas to pick up and

066drop off with music and consistently deal with the daily discipline and student support when the director is unavailable. I was a mother at Foster's in the last 8 years as a mother of three children and one that passed to Mayifer. I've seen the first brother who was so dedicated and supportive of that young lady Jackson and at the same time has been It's regrettable to see the high level of eh administrative changes in the district. In the last 8 years my Foster, we've had six directors. I'm fired because there's such a lack of... congruence and how is this best for our students, how is this helping them to improve grades in the tests with so much inconsistency in leadership. In the years the district is starting to have a bad reputation. He's simply asking Here

067at the meeting, if this is how it's done Things are helping to recruit and improve student outcomes. I believe our community needs consistency, leadership. It's unsolvable for the staff, teachers and families. Begin with administrative staff each year or 2 years is bad for morale students and teachers. Having a new director, having the leadership of Mrs. Jackson would provide much-needed stability in the school. Finally, I would like simply leave them with the following. Miss Jackson is a rare gem in education. Steven Foster primary would be incredibly fortunate to continue to benefit from their dedication, leadership and genuine care for this community. I sincerely hope that Elite reconsider this decision First, the staff and success I continue for school. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Miss Barker. Amy Mustafa. Good evening, President Garza, Cabinet members, colleagues

068and community. I want to address the state of current negotiations, the proposal of postpone salary talks until end of May. PTA Sunshine, uh the The negotiations of May 2025 had the intention to begin a process of timely negotiations. Uh, we were waiting to start a group of negotiations and delayed it until May. the BTA regardless of this delay He came prepared on the first day We present a reasonable salary proposal and we show that we are willing to have meaningful conversations. So the district has not provided any counterproposal. Now I am saying that the balance proposals do not It will be available until the end of May. Respectfully This cannot be accepted. For that Then, the school year will almost be over. finished, which will leave little time to to be able to have meaningful

069negotiations agreement and its implementation. Under a normal timeline, the negotiations for next year school should have started in March, But right now we're doing it almost a year behind where we have to do it. At this stage of the school year, district I should have a very clear understanding of its financial position. Our educators, like all the professionals deserve stake serious, timely, and significant in these negotiations. And delay this prolongs uncertainty and also This limits confidence in this process of negocies. We ask you to come and submit a salary proposal immediately so we can take it to We conduct negotiations in good faith and we can reach an agreement that reflects the values ​​of the cables that provide services to this community day after day. Thank you, Miss Musasa. Can you come? Jennifer Campbell? Good

070afternoon, President Garza, member of the president and administration of district. I'm mostly talking regarding the Vapid department to the new graduation requirements. I'm Jennifer Campbell and I've been teaching in Mayfir as director of choir for 6 years. During this time period I've had many schedule changes bell, administration, new policies and procedures and now new graduation requirements. In the brief discussion we had as department we had with respect to the changes. Our understanding is that AGR requirements require one year of vapa and 2 years of a foreign language and Now they will require 3 years of classes college and career preparation and whether it's BAPA CTA or some other language foreigner, because we are deviating of Belf AG requirements. If the The intention is to improve the metrics or measures to be ready on the dashboard

071from California, why don't we follow the AG requirements and an additional category For ECD VAPA or some other solution? The The collective opinion is that still We require at least one year of because we know what these provide programs the students are not only a place for self-expression and social-emotional learning, but also a place where many skills of the life, as a discipline of cooperation, citizenship, and being a good human beings are cultivated. Furthermore, the These programs do a lot for the district school. We support the teams sports, we go out into the community, We provide entertainment, joy, an escape and much more for our audience. What other programs has students who change their lives to their students after I have shared tears with veterans either push or drive the student creativity for years what's

072coming? As an API department, Unfortunately, we are told that the Student numbers are vital for our department and no matter what what we do and all the studies that They show how invaluable the arts are for the city of education, every year It seems that the burden of having to justify the programs and present The numbers are getting heavier and heavier instead of to have the support that is necessary to cultivate those resilient and powerful programs that we already have. We already compete with many programs in our staff at the school and it's already It's difficult trying to support things right here. These new requirements will to continue harming or competing with our Bapa programs and limit excess student. We ask that you take more time to consider these changes and invite more representative teachers

073in all programs the district for that their voices may be heard in this conversation. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Cambo. Can it happen? Jairi Gamboa? Good afternoon, President Garza, superintendent members and district administration. In fact, I am a Bapa teacher in the Belfower district, which I love and I'm here to talk to in favor of the category that has just mention. When we look at the requirements graduation is important that you do not Let's dilute the function of the arts visuals by putting it in a category to be Ready for high school. By adding this category and group the languages foreigners Mbapp and CTI within a already complex requirement, We unintentionally created a system where the students They can skip the steam completely. And the The goal is really to have the students ready for

074their careers and universities are aligning it A little more with the AG requirements and no create a structure that competes within she AG. It's very clear. A year of vaping and 2 years of the same language are required for university admissions of the state of California or of California. And this protects access and ensures that each student has a good education by the time they graduate from preparatory. This also supports the self-expression, well-being, and the mental health and for many students Here, art provides a space safe for processing the experiences reduce stress and communicate ideas that are difficult to express in words. They contribute to trust and identity development. Fine arts raise awareness cultural and empathy and exposes to students with different points of view, history and deepen knowledge of the world. The arts are

075only elective classes, but they also form part of a comprehensive education in the high school, which supports success long-term and personal development. I suggest that you support the program of the visual arts and not only that they have a little box to put a popcorn in and proportion the students with a comprehensive education. The arts Visual arts are important and the arts in In general, they are important. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Gabi Gutiérrez. can move on to podium. Good afternoon, President Garza, members of the president of Simen and district administrators. I am Gabi Gutiérrez, I am a teacher at the Mayfare, I teach art and I've been there for 21 years old. I'm here too. regard to the district's requirements Bellflower, specifically eh what was mentioned that CCR is being structured in

076the BAPA requirements. As you've heard, we are supporting the improvement of the CCR and the requirements And this is important for students, for the community and for the district and what is represented in the California's dashboard. As proposed, this proposal It causes concerns with the teachers from Bapa. in May for Bell Flower. This creates a system where we are all competing. Because of this, many students leave to receive from the trainer and they are going to describe that they have to take a class vapa en en una col community college in order to meet the requirements of income at state universities or California. There is a way, there is a best way forward. Can maintain the 3-year CSR target, but CSR should be its own category and we must be clear about the requirements by

077at least one year of Bapa and a year of a language like he does Downy district. This way We do two things. We strengthen the CCR results just as we protect equitable access to education comprehensive, one that includes the arts, Because at the end of the day, that's what it's all about, right? only the minimum requirements on paper, but it is a requirement of all the students who come here. The belief is simple. Any Bellflower graduating student It must be at least one year old as part of their experience of high school, not as an option, but as requirement, but as a commitment that they would take it for their education. As Bapa group, we come with solutions, no We only come here to complain. So Thank you for your time. This is vape Bellflower

078and Mayfare. Thank you. Miss Gutierrez wants to hand over her recommendations here. Thank you. Melissa Kitchen can pass. Good afternoon, members, President Garza and members of the table and Dr. Simon and the staff and the amazing community. As you can see, We all show up for a reason, and the BTE president Yanka has already spoken to regard. I just want to emphasize We have these new buttons and they say, There are two, one student first, the working conditions are the learning conditions of the students and the other comes from what we are seeing directly Dr. Simen's and the district of Belfower. It's that every voice is valued and That's what we want. Uh, the BTA negotiations have come, They have already been presented prepared by a year trying to carry out the process of negotiations

079and complete it because it is time to carry out the next one. So we want at the end of May, like It was requested, Please, come with a salary already! because when we don't have Clarity, this creates stress, which is not Teachers are needed in the district Belfo, the truth is we are that button Students first and we are working hard work and we don't need stress, We simply need to be at the Next, let this be over so we can finally finish. to be able to move on to the next thing. The other thing that emerged in the negotiations It's that the Bellfower district, the management wants to increase eh the professional development days Wednesdays. Right now we have 12 Wednesday which are for professional development necessary and the request is to add three

080further. So, now they're going to be 12 + 3 equals 15. Now the sites Currently, not everyone is using the 12 that the district has available, They're only using 10. So, after taking 3 more days of the teachers, because it is a time of highly valued planning and collaboration, use what we have Currently, use the 12 days. We listen which was because of the data and for the collection and analysis of these, But we're already getting a lot of that. happening on Tuesdays uh with PLCs, just like the 12 Wednesdays that have available the district. So please we ask you that they consider not taking any more time away from planning as a primary school teacher. The truth is, we don't have enough. that time. Hey, he's already sacrificing himself. quite. Thank you for your

081time. Thank you, Miss Mcchen. It can happen Go ahead Laila Brand, please. I said the last name correctly. Laila Brandes, excuse me. Good night. My Her name is Laila Brandes. I'm an ex Steven Foster's student. I I graduated last year. I have the honor of to be here or to be there during the first Mrs. Jackson's year. It is a assistant, director Great, because like a good best friend of everyone at school. Uh, all I've heard about her has been It has been positive how hard he works to to do everything and anything for everyone. He's always there for young people who They need support and a meeting of the youths. Every time I see her, I get the Biggest hug, has the best brighter personality, carries energy and fun at school. She always finds

082a fun way to Welcome to the young people and bring light their mornings. Wants. She is significant to many people, it is of I'm quite used to seeing her go out. This was very difficult constant staff turnover. When I went to Steven Faster, I was... It was fitting a person together and the other day already They weren't there. It's hard to see that the staff leave, especially when They create quite a few of these connections with students. Please consider this decision. Thank you for your time. Have a good one evening. Thank you, Miss Brandes. Can we please have as a A break of about 5 minutes? We will return to 8:08. Thank you. We are now moving on to the topics of discussion and debate. Tonight we have two on 10.1. Let's begin with school

083graduation requirements preparatory. Dr. Simon. Thank you President Garsa. I'm going to pass the baton to the assistant superintendent of Academic services, Mr. Bonnie Sump. Thank you, Dr. Simon. This tonight our high school principal is going to share information about proposed, requirements and updates for graduation with new mandates of State, finance studies personal. It's something we have to to do, review the requirements, ensuring that they are competent to university registration, in districts in our surroundings and have the postgraduate skills. We have dialogue begun with advisory groups, administration, students and we're going to collect feedback in the following weeks. Mrs. Castillera, He will share the information tonight. which was presented to our partners academics and will provide the information initial that we are receiving from feedback from these groups. Mister Casaneda, good night. President Garza, Board members,

084superintendent Simen, cabinet members and community. It gives me great pleasure to be here tonight. to share proposed updates for the graduation requirements of Belf district, changes designed for preparing students for opportunities outside of high school and needs of the workforce to help them This being ready for opportunities and qualify for opportunities. are in the students' horizon and By adapting to these requirements, we ensure that The graduate no longer finishes school high school, but he's ready for the world for and trusts and skills for success. Each The student must graduate, no more than with diploma, but ready to be global competitive. wants to align the resume with expectations university students and demands for strength work to prepare them for this life after high school. Hey, having them ready. These roads, eh They help to give the

085skills essentials, provide a framework of work aligned with success. Your goals for Aligning students is uh strengthen the paths to success academic, and increasing the ranges in AG recordings, expand AP, dual enrollment, impacting the indicator of careers and universities and preparation, ultimately giving them better access and opportunities to students. The data shows that we have a strong this rate of graduation, but the proportion in which They graduate, ready for university or completing the CTE, is lower than what we want. These are the changes we propose They focus on graduating students, but also prepare them for life after graduation. To measure the impact of these efforts, the indicator of college and careers, this, university and races, see if they're ready for and and They achieve certain milestones in the completion of the university requirements, huh dual

086registration and other indicators that They are linked to post-secondary success. which is not to close the gaps of college and career preparation professionals, this, giving more courses and most relevant academic experiences and expectations It is to strengthen the results of your preparation, but also the commitments we have with the students for their graduations successful. This slide compares the State requirements with those of the CSU and UC universities that impact the adjustments, the adjustments have impacted this updated regarding requirements for university preparation. This The slide shows the requirements. proposed in and the result and the reason for the proposal. Uh, requirements of Mathematics and science is a path of 2 years with an additional year of mathematics or science. The proposal is to require 3 years of mathematics and science requiring IM1 and IM2, eh, as

087a sequence giving the third-year option for science biology and chemistry and the third year that The student can choose. This will that they be more competent, that they want to enroll in university, uh, others students giving the way where can take additional integer math informing them that if they want to attend, uh to a UC CU university, this has to Complete IM3 and this is what we have We also want to program the students in an additional class of science in 11th grade and one of mathematics or science in the second degree. This clarifies our practice current. The requirements want to require a year of government and geography, pushing the requirement to 4 years, reducing social sciences to 3 years in alignment with the requirements of State and most of the districts, integrating health into

088the curriculum of sciences. This will open connections global, will give them access to more options and in the requirement of university and career preparation It also requires AAP and CTE classes. Dual registration to give some, uh, a more ethical foundations for the students and those students who They cannot attend advanced classes It gives the ability to take other courses in university preparation to fulfill with the requirement. uh, that is, provided they are approved such as visual and performing arts and other electives. This gives the option such as the second or third year in an area more than more and also strengthens its preparation for university. To the introduce these requirements updated, we have obtained uh retaliation by other groups of people, interested parties, family members, families, students, community and all the work we have this

089and the Surveys we have conducted have told us that there needs to be more preparation, there There needs to be more preparation for the students in university classes and also classes that they can give them real-life opportunities. Also Interested parties have emphasized refinement, greater clarity, particularly in how the requirements are structure, how they are sequenced of the courses, how the students of Families can understand and navigate these changes in terms of possible challenges, eh complexities regarding programming, the supply of schools that are properly programmed and considerations regarding implementation at the school site. We will also see if there is enough time to take the courses necessary for them to be able to take uh those courses without giving it all the responsibility to teachers for design new courses. There are others questions about how health

090classes It will be included in the resume. This It removes the importance of putting together or gives signs that we also need to include to the teachers to talk about the standards that alignments with the This is required, well addressed with integration this comprehensive and important. We are asking More information and feedback from groups of students and teachers and We expect to receive that information and those contributions that will help us to form the following steps. Herein slide comparing requirements graduation venues in different districts. The important thing is that the districts mostly require 3 years of mathematics to be prepared in the university. Language wants to change its 4-year math requirement three in the area of ​​social sciences. The proposed updates They put us in line at the state expectations and show consistencies with the

091districts in our environment. In looking at languages ​​this world and visual arts. There's more requirements. The year, the state requires a year of visual or performing arts classes and That was kept in mind when He developed the proposition. and in this requirement to prepare students High school requires 3 years of courses and one year has to be in a global language, visual arts or CTE, even though that requirement can be met with classes at CTE or dual enrollment, This is for all students. English students, students of People with disabilities will also have many options. electives, CTE arts, visual arts, performing arts, and so on as they have it today. They all get approved for university requirements and university eligibility. The inclusion of preparation for Colleges and careers is intentional, shows the district's approach to that

092the students are on the right track to achieve academic and real-life success. Uh, updating the requirements, it supports the successes. uh, about the graduates, but It fits within the schedule, as you can see here that can fit within the schedules that we use in AAP classes in schools preparatory schools. It has all the periods of time required to take the courses must be taken minimal, but they have the opportunity to take eight courses. The eight o'clock schedule periods give flexibility to students who need additional support, allowing them to complete the requirements graduation while they receive intervention in support courses and daytime credit recovery school. This schedule has meets state requirements and status for university preparation, the same with support based on a period in a six-period school day. Everything can be completed in a six-hour

093schedule periods in 4 years, but there is competition between elective programs and can be delayed to certain classes until these last years when they can take elective classes to support implementation. a frequently asked questions section, This has been published where there are questions and they have Opad students or parents to see how, uh, where they are certain challenges, where they have answers to those challenges. That's their plan. It can be based on re-tomication of staff in terms of adequate time to refine courses, address logistical considerations and to be addressed clear communication. This is a time for us. Advanced can give us more time for To submit a resume in the year 2728. Next year, teachers and teams have to work together to develop courses for uh about science courses, courses in social sciences, geography and

094to change the types of government to a a semester instead of a year. FEAQ shares that although the student does not She plans to attend university After high school, the changes The proposed ones help with the skills techniques to make them competitive in in the workforce. In general, the proposed changes help ensure that students They are graduating with a competitive level, access to programs of from the real world and who can take courses with more certifications and have more options. That is the path we are taking to that our partners participate, so that the board's regulations and policy be informed by a variety of stakeholders. As We are with administrators, finishers and Teacher leaders to be able to see which is to take advantage of their contributions there, uh, educational partners and advisory groups, the

095DLAC and the groups the superintendent was able to give his perspective. We are still here awaiting contributions from the most important groups generals and student groups and this will continue to give us information for the next steps. There's going to be one regulation and review of regulations and This needs to be approved at the table now. the June date and the course matrix It will be done, and this underlines the commitment. inclusivity and implementation effective of the changes. Those paths to empowering students by creating a foundation or an educational foundation for that they are prepared for the future. Thank you for this great presentation. Do you have any questions or comments? I have some. What is this? First Nothing, did someone put it here or this What is paper? Ah, that's what teachers do. Already?

096Okay. Ah, I'll begin. So, he says that He spoke, saying they were making a reach for teachers in general. They said that They spoke with the teachers. Who Where did they go and where did they come from? Bell Flower Mayflower Preparatory School school leadership teams that They are the presidents of each department for each high school campus and secondary school as well as advisors and any other key leader who is in the school leadership team. Both Schools have other individuals who They are part of this team as individuals in community schools, other partners. Then, the Derazco team. Do teachers choose? Are these the administrators or this team? Teachers have the ability to to request the status of president of department and submit applications each year and The administration reviews the application and There is more

097than one person there. Believe that there is some kind of ticket. I'm not very clear in that part, but because of the At least in my experience there haven't been any more of an individual, but most of the time is an individual who requests the position of president of the group, then The administration chooses them. Well, yes I was in favor of many of the things that I saw, obviously health was my concern. My biggest question, huh Graduation rates are very high, They're going to go down. Can you talk for a little bit? About that? You told me that some of The science courses would be a little bit more as an elective, like marine biology or Something like that, but this was my biggest concern big. Our first meeting, when We talked about this,

098can you mention this? this? The rates of graduation. The purpose and the update of the requirements of Gravity is for building the bridge between CT and AT compression. Obviously there is a gap between the rate of gravity and the others and I want to ensure that students are truly competitive, that are ready for university and are ready for their races. So, Finally, those requirements help to address the bridge in this gap. Additionally, in fact, I believe that would improve recording rates because Now students will be able to connect, they will be able to participate in certain passions, in certain subjects or roads that originally would not have taken. So, essentially, it should increase at least its persistence, but also the rate of graviration. I have many questions. I'll make one more And from there, how

099do they want it, because I have many. We let him finish. The question is, can you explain which one? is the biggest difference between the requirements and why we are listening here of many teachers and, I mean, obviously the health and bapa thing and put them all in the same category, What are the differences between the Two, what we currently have and what What are we proposing? One of the changes The social sciences are greater. We currently want a full year of government, Which brings us to the sciences, eh social studies for 4-year-olds. We have a year of world history, geography, uh, of economy and the traditional model in the last year It's a semester of government and a semester economics. So, we do it more now. Beyond this. Geography was embedded in world history

100and the standards history of the States United for several years. So this The course has remained as it was in the requirements, but technically the World history is geography and uh history of the United States and geography and these standards that have have been embedded and we are still having the requirement of geography with respect to the math. One of the changes or updates is require 3 years of mathematics, but As mentioned, it has been a practice. Similarly to the sciences, it It requires a third year of science, but The practice has been for them to have one year additional in mathematics and science in the penultimate year. It's a very time-consuming practice. time, so they have added to the students in those courses in the first year And this would formalize and codify this

101requirement, which requires that the students take a third year of mathematics and a third year of science. And the other change is Well, health, reducing the requirement of health and include it in the courses of sciences and the incorporation or addition of the requirement of careers and universities And being prepared is so you can emphasize and ensure that the students be prepared for the road ahead high school and take CT routes or advanced or dual enrollment classes. Right now the requirements are essentially allows students to take 50 selective classes if it is a cover mega-open and essentially the requirement so that they are prepared for the university is to put a category and it is an opportunity for them to take courses in this area so that they comply with this requirement. So we emphasize

102the courses that would fulfill that which obviously These are the AG lectures. For the social sciences we are anticipating that they will not take government and economic. What are the classes that Will they be eliminated? Sorry, No? Which classes would be eliminated? Yeah They've been taking four and are now down to three. What are the two classes that We would typically see that they are eliminated? Geography It would be the course which is being taken currently and the government is reduced from a full year to a semester, which is the traditional model for students of the tenth duo. Should I follow them or what? Health is a huge thing for me. There is many different ones, we have many emails, in fact I printed some of them these. To be honest, until they can show

103me where they are going to put all those things. In biology I'm having trouble with this. I know what it is. a chat, I know that I simply we are mentioning, but when Come back, I need you to show me in Where does it go, where does everyone go? components in biology, because we have I've taken biology and I don't see how this It works. So I need that for to understand why health is so important. They want to talk a little bit Regarding this, where do they plan to put all are distinct parts. It's part of the work that will be done what to do next school year. Is so that the teachers can meet, Identify and review both standards, health standards, biology and ensure that they are integrated in a significant to see

104in how it find each other and how they connect. But much of that will have to be done next school year when they meet to do that job, to make sure that all those essential topics are address. Yes, because I'm watching the emotional intelligence to manage emotions different from the management of stress, suicide prevention, the vaping, drugs, alcohol, steroids, there are a lot. I know, I'm a teacher of physical education. I know we can do it in physical education, but I want to see all standards will fit in physical education, biology, where one Ask more questions and then I'll leave them to it. do it. Uh, financial literacy, Where will it be? Right now there are two subject areas where they can to be included in mathematics and the social sciences. So right now both

105schools offer business mathematics. This uh It could be more robust. This would be a opportunity to see literacy economic and to create a course updated that complies with updated standards in the curriculum personal economic development and The next time would also be an improvement in the social sciences. Then they can to have economic advancement if they take a semester of personal finance or financial knowledge would be a opportunity for them to take the course there. One more quickly, can you explain something I honestly didn't recognize and have I've heard a lot from this community. evening? The combination of CT and VPA and the foreign languages, eh, double registration. Can you explain a A little more about this? I think we're improving it. We are offering an opportunity for the students take additional classes in live

106or visual arts. The requirement It asks for 3 years to be ready for the... university, but it has to be a year in languages visual arts, CTO or live arts. Is the same requirement that we have at the moment. Then we did put it inside the requirement to be ready. to go to the preparation for university, to say that The second and third year allows them to the students take a second or third year of either CTE or Bapa because we know we have enough students who sometimes take 4 years of band or choir or art, then they provide you with the opportunity to do this, but emphasize and indicate that those courses They are preparing to be ready for the university and its careers. If I am In the band, I can take 4

107years of band and I can still complete one well in CTE. Technically, yes. The students have the ability, They still have their bucket of classes elected, would have 40 other credits that They can take it, so they have the ability to take all those courses. Also They are all amazing. So why So many of those people are frustrated Speaking of all this, let's get started. within a category? Which ones do you think What are their concerns? Part of the concern is the lack of clarity. This is the first time that we share This in a public setting. Obviously We have spoken with the different groups. So, I think the individuals are talking and I think it's good that we're talking speaking and participating in this dialogue and that we have this feedback. I think a

108lot of the information that is shared today, especially by the visual arts teachers and in I'm alive, it's a lot of feedback that we can incorporate in Finally, what will the update be like? So, I think that's more than anything else. That's the main reason why it's creating an opportunity to talk about graduation requirements. No we have done for quite some time as district, let's always talk because We have a full year of government, a whole year of geography, it's the opportunity to participate in the conversation and make sure that We are preparing the students for life after high school. Thank you. I just have one question and I think I already answered it, but I want it hear. What was missing before? I know that I have all the documents here, but in your

109mind of you, what is it that Did it need fixing? So why Are these changes being made? I believe that for a long time there has been a desire to require a way for the Students complete this. Require the students who are ready to ag complete a certain trajectory, but this It creates flexibility for them instead of require a specific trajectory. That It allows you to have flexibility students who want to take paths different. If they want to be in a double registration or advanced clans, it can do. If they want to build a road to They can do it through CT. Or if They simply want to continue taking the minimum requirements to be eligible for university, too It can be done this way. So I think that That's the last straw. In addition,

110we have the additional requirements that sometimes uh They put us in challenges. And I continued talking about, for example, government, when a student He transfers to our school in his last year, especially if it comes to midway through his final year, if the The student was in a school district. previous one that had the traditional model And the government didn't have it in the first semester, then they wouldn't have sufficient credits when they enroll with us. So then we had to find out how to support this student. So the updated requirements are not It would align in this way. The Students are taking the requirements that align at the level state. Well, I'm going to have to study a little. further. That's all. First time I've received all this information and I have five children

111who have graduated and no problem and now having it again And yes, it seems like something to me. as a strong point to have the entire language world, performing arts in one category. Why can't they divide, separate, eh health, class of health? I know that when we adopted that curriculum that was mandatory on the part From the State, we had to do it and I have fear that it will go away, that it can losing as we need it to be defined. Um, if we ever get audited, Where is the health, biology, and other classes? Hey will reflect our academic plan, it would be easier if would keep them separate if the young people They have the option of the classes selective. And I'm just thinking, I'm trying, but I'm not saying that anymore. I'm

112going to look into it more because I think the other feedback they gave us It says that if health is removed as requirement, which if it can be offered as elective option is also a viable opportunity. students They can register for the course, Sign up, they can choose to do so. We are looking at allowing that continue. If students want to take Health classes can do it. But the other area where possibly We can see many opportunities for growth. areas that have been addressed regarding mental health issues, things like that and of that kind in a school there are a path of health counseling mental. It is a CTE path under section medical sector. It's an area we can still expanding in our schools, a course and path that we can expand, but the times

113allowing it to exist the time to fix and repair those details, that teachers meet to develop the courses, to integrate the rules and creating this curriculum will to be important. I went to school and all biology was different than a health class. I don't I'm being simple about this, but it's the truth. Maybe we are, I don't know what That's what we're trying to do, we're trying to improve, or well, always We are trying to improve, because We have work, quite a lot of work that do. So, Thank you for the presentation and all the information. A couple of questions. I know that with financial education, eh I was going to create the state where we can adopt our own program. That What do we do about that? We are waiting for the finalized model

114resume. It will be for May, late May. Alas to have it the curriculum model and standards, We will now proceed with the following steps. The next school year will be the When will those courses be created? When we are given a sample resume, We added our own touch. Ah, well, they're usually alignments about how a course, what it should to contain a course, what are the elements that must be covered, the units, all those elements. and look uh looking at this study requirement of ethnicities, this We developed the program and trained it with The teachers in that situation, we looked programs already established as a model and we look at how they meet the needs that We have as a requirement for the next school year add the resume. As the member of the Stuart

115board, I also agree that for the How will it fit in next year? All of this with everything else? We seem being doing it last. I'm not very comfortable with that. How are we going to do? That's the detail I would like know. I don't want the year to pass. whole and we are still like playing with the plan and that I would like to have advance plans. Well, that feedback This has reached us, that's why we He said that in a year we should talk about the details, let's gather the staff, the teachers for fix those issues and then get started the courses in the 2728 school year. us It gives time to develop the curriculum and address those issues and concerns. And when it comes to aligning the What courses with our partners

116CC Apps? What collaboration exists for Is everything running smoothly? CTE courses in general or what is it that happens after school or the partners of Kell App are part of this conversation also in collaboration, because that changes the requirements we have with them. Informally Mrs. Whitney, our CEO of Cal Apps Regarding CTE programming programs, well Yes, we met to see how it looks the CTE program CAPAPS, what we offer on the day school, which will help the registrations at CTE, that's what we want. That helps to do that with the education requirement for careers and universities. Regarding the conversions we have and we've had that advisor with whom Students take CTE classes, but the They look like, uh, optional. What happens is who take a course, the first course level, but they are not following

117the path. So What we want to try to do is Calling this a requirement is... that they complete two years on that path and that the advisors change their conversations when they are programming the students and that they have that conversation. If the student has already taken four level one courses, perhaps one of That's something you can complete. So, which one did you like? Perhaps another way that we have to keep answering or uh The question is, are we trying to improve? Yes, it's to improve the east compliance with CTE, achieving students who get in the way to complete the requirements to be Ready for university, ready to graduate With options, being able to make a decision after year 12 so that they can enter the workforce, to the workforce or enter career programs in

118Cerritos or some other type of program of commerce, a 4-year university years Essentially we want them to have options. Thank you, thank you for the presentation again. This, well, yes, my first question So, how long will we be talking about it? this? But I already heard 27 and 28. That makes me calm. I thought it was going to be 26, 27, 3 months is not enough time for to talk about such a big change as this. My first question is, when does it have to see with this information and preparation for Colleges and professional careers, what Is that what we want to emphasize? I think they are specific paths. Maybe I have certain programs. and special paths that she likes people, but well, the intention is to be more general because of that topic and

119For that reason, students can take any of their courses and highlighting that being prepared for the university and careers is an approach to our district. We want them to be ready upon graduating from our schools, creating a profile that Students should have when they leave of our schools, but as he said you, who do not want to guide the students to a single path, Let's say, because there are students who They have multiple paths they want continue. There are also CN students who They want to make one guided towards a diploma. We want to ensure that everyone have the opportunity, so the requirement to be prepared for university and careers gives the flexibility that the student to take visual arts and arts courses scenic and so that they can complete a CTE's path in terms

120of its courses. Okay, but assuming that assuming that We don't get rid of the health class or That part is not implemented and We keep them separate, I think it would be better and from my personal experience It would be better to keep the health class as something that can be done in the summer. I know how they're made, but in Mayf We had the health center at the school summer because I did this geography AAP, I couldn't do it in the summer, but It's an option we could have taken. uh in advance. It is very important for AAP students, I think, because it I mentioned at the council meeting of Advisors say it's because there's space. We can remove it during the year, but to keep it as a summer course, a condensed period,

121gives that space that is looking when that class is over. One thing that which I have realized, or rather I have seen, geography students A have that they return later and take classes in health and I feel that they are being held back when that space can be open for other courses. Well, I think what Shumik is explaining is that the students back when we weren't we are a program They had the opportunity to take classes in Summer health for credit additional because there was no space in the six-period schedule and placed Human geography in ninth grade especially this AAP course. So They had to take that course at the summer or in year 12 and that one took a space during year 12 to take other courses and that under the program of six

122periods. In the eight program periods there are more opportunities to students take additional classes. So health stopped being offered during the summer because essentially We offer it primarily in the summer because there was no space during the year and now that he has the ability to Take care of your health during the school year regular for the period the schedule of eight periods. That's why it was no longer offered in the summer, but it's something that can be done to resume in terms of future summer programming. Just like with economics, I think it would be Nice, we can create more of this. space in the 12th year and take and take the course before. Uh, when it has to do with the year additional math, what kind of Are they proposing changes to mathematics? because

123I heard This business mathematics, I think That's important, this needs to be changed to personal finances, that helps with the in the long run. But what kind of change? Is there anything else besides that? Currently there are advanced math classes in the high schools currently. In Both high schools offer computer science, statistics and all courses advanced, calculus advanced, advanced precalculus, analysis mathematical. There is a range of electives in third year, uh, as an option, and the area that We need to look, I think I explained it in The presentation does what it should do. where teachers develop courses of third year which are electives and there have been talks about create courses that are aligned to certain career paths, especially the students of that They are prepared for some ways. those are advanced technical paths.

124That It's an opportunity because we can create those courses so that the students take them as their third year or in fourth year because they can always take during the 12th year of school. And in As for the CR block, it was focusing on something. Many people have I've given my opinion on that. And I think that's the main thing I I would like to say, because when I look at the CR block, as we call ourselves from Bapa, foreign language, what I see is that There is a way out, an escape, because there are people who are going to have that brand, that mentality of checking a box, I'm going to do this class, to finish this class and everything else, but if There are requirements, one has to be from language. foreign or

125c grouping them as if it gives the as if supports that mentality of checking one This box instead of enjoying one class. I just wanted to shout my opinion is to keep it separate. Believe which is torment It's very valuable to look at that requirement. Let's see if we can divide them and see What does that look like? Well, that's basically all I I meant because even though I'm in the Advanced AP class and also double Registration, I think one of the things The important thing we need to see is that This is grabbing everyone's attention, Right? To modern people, because it's Well, to start at a midpoint Let's see if we can add more and then come in. Right? To return to that point. Do you want me to ask you a few questions?

126fast? First of all, financial knowledge, the The requirement is one semester, then It seems we need a lot of classes math for the semester, right? Because they're going to have to take this into account sometime. Correct? The requirement It requires at least a semester. at least one semester of economics staff, But it will be an elected class, eh? one semester, they will be able to take that course, but it will also offer during the year, uh, because when we create select classes Sometimes the schedule is difficult because We need to create other select classes so that they agree So that's one of the challenges when We're looking at the programming, the schedule main, but we have a mix and We have the opportunity to create a course throughout the year that currently the business mathematics

127model. We are looking at making the course a one-year course, but also a semester-long course for those who only want to take the requirement, have the ability to complete the requirement within the semester. Ethnic studies are going to be all-encompassing. per year or per semester. We currently have both options. So, the only ones that The ones currently offered are those that They last a year because the semester course It was still being created. So that The course has since been approved through the AAG portal courses. So they are developing the curriculum for this elected semester class. We have English for ethnic studies, from history of Uh, United States, from studies African Americans that counts as studies of ethnicity and the semester course that is in the fundamentals of studies of ethnicity. So, we've created a

128course of a semester, because that's it what this asks for students who may not want to take a full year of English or US history, They have the ability to take a semester and meet the requirement. Thank you for your presentation and response. to all questions. I know this It's quite long, But I do have a few questions. more or less to accept all this, because it's the first time we've seen everything together to understand it better. So, it is understood that this bucket will increase the opportunity to be able select. I think that's great. But I can also see the difficulties for students and to advisors due to the number of students with what they have to to be done, what It will be that difficult in the long run term. I know it's

129the first time conversation, I'm not anticipating having all questions right now. Taking into account the possible change of the transition, What support will be available for ensure that all students, especially English learners or with disabilities and those who already They need additional support. can comply the increased requirements, eh for mathematics and science. Have you already been talking about that or It's something that still needs to be done tackle? Because We're always talking about of those who perform incredibly well and A big thank you to these people. who love school and all these things, but when we talk about those children who need support now with the challenges they have or disabilities and English learners. Yes, they exist. deficiencies that we have seen how we are going to address This is knowing that it will affect

130them. Currently, as mentioned, we do not We are deviating from the practice. the English learners, students with disabilities, Everyone already has a third one scheduled. year of mathematics and science, so now the eleventh grade students They are taking their science and math classes in the ninth and tenth year, just like also the courses in the tenth year and They also take an additional class there. mathematics in his eleventh year. So This requirement is formalizing that practice because We are now asking for a third year of mathematics and science, so essentially those students are already taking those courses. students with disabilities, depending on the trajectory that they are taking, specifically the students who are receiving that and uh now they take their IM1 during the course At 2 years old, they do it in the ninth

131and tenth year and then IM2 and they can take These courses and that's where they also have the ability to take math additional. If you put it in both Schools take business mathematics as an option. Now, this has already been the practice. So, this requirement is formalizing that practice And that's the same for apprentices of English. They also have something planned. similar with ninth, tenth and eleventh take mathematics and science and twelfth grade, already whether it be mathematics or science. When We talked about the support, the new bell schedule that the schools have allows them to opportunity to have support classes that the classes barely require English and can also complete the other opportunities in which they can participate, such as live and visual arts, CTE, any another elected class. So, as mentioned, Students can

132still do That, however, The schedule creates competition and the Students will have less opportunities to take these courses eh additional support, but right now can do in the recovery of credits as well as additional support during the day. So we're seeing to be able to continue that practice as well. Therefore, it is left to the discretion of advisor that support exists or is something that students or is something that It's already solid in what we have at the moment. If we're going to do these Solid changes will also be made The changes will now be fixed and ready. Schools are doing a lot work to identify the students and any interventions they may need, already whether it's mathematics or English learning. They have a course they take during the day school, so those students were

133It requires them to take those courses, so Those students have already been identified. For those who need support additional ones, those that maybe They need support in mathematics, they identifies in the school. This year one The schools in Mayfir developed a pilot in the second half of the year for provide support in mathematics. They identified to students who have support in additional math and were able to put This course is offered during the daytime. school. They are trying to embed and Continue this practice next year by identifying the students who They need additional support and include this course in its schedule for next year school. So it allows them to get help and address the needs they have. I also think that we are talking about all of these changes and we are trying of

134mixing, removing, cutting from a year per semester and things like that. So, there have been talks about how we are actually measuring whether This change will be effective for the students or not, long-term. No, we're always changing. We went from six periods to eight periods, but in fact truly We're going to improve. We're talking about that the teachers are ready and not the graduation fees only and access to university and trajectories of professionalism, but long-term success. As district, how are we going to measure success of the students if we implement this Change again? Because I feel that, and I already know that everyone They already have too much data, but for me When we implement a change, we should of having a visual way to encapsulate if this is it effective or not for students?

135because if that's not the case, we should be We must be ready to change it. and I feel that in other options, the programs that we have had, we have not have been so ready for that. So I think I understand that it is only the beginning and there is still a lot, huh, because crossing and it's not going to enter into force immediately. I understand That's right, but I would hate for all the teachers to be like that. implement a change and all groups and the people try of mix the resumes, make it a piece piece by piece and find out that it is not effective for students and that is not effective for teachers, that have to intertwine with others topics that in many cases are already a eh very robust curriculum. So,

136like district, how are we preparing measure When will we implement these changes? I currently believe that data such as are They speak for themselves regarding the slide we gave them with the data among the deficiencies that exist in the graduation and AG and CAE is a metric key that we will continue to monitor to make sure that we are complying with these metrics. Additionally We have invested heavily in best practices professional development advice to develop systems to be able to monitor student progress and if We are going to meet the goal for the AGCAT graduation. That really asks us to be able to do this and to be able to continue creating these systems and monitoring for that is not what the children are walking along the path. The changes here are to address the

137bridge between those shortcomings in the rate graduation from AG or to C to E. E ideally We're going to see all those rates increase, But again, it's about having programming. intentional with the counselors, discussions and then monitoring and make sure we are acting with respect to the data we have so that they meet the metrics students. I have more questions, but I don't think I'm going to do it because I I feel comfortable, uh, since this is the first conversation about that topic and I suppose that we will have more. I just had one little question quickly about that. Oh, I remember now. Since we are trying to reduce some requirements. throughout the year just one semester, how is it going to affect uh the step that goes uh the classes advanced? Because the advanced

138classes The term of government is one year, but if want to change for a semester, the Advanced placement courses can offer for the whole year because they are different. when I was talking about the geography of humankind, of Advanced placement, this course is for a whole year and even though we are from semester, we are going to offer the geography of the human being. So the APEP government can also be uh se can offer eh throughout the year for that can succeed in the exam of advanced placement. But how is it going to affect students' schedules if Do they take the full course? Essentially The course would already be scheduled. So, in fact, I wouldn't change anything. drastically from what is practice currently, because they have to take a semester of economics as well. So

139They have the course that they also have to take and they will have to potentially either fill that gap with ethnic studies as a requirement additionally if they have to do it or any other course such as finance personal items that can be made in place of the economy. So they still exist opportunities for students can take two courses that go sets and those are the challenges with the one-semester courses that always We need to make sure there is a second semester of the course that can to take so that there is none lack of schedules. Thank you, President of the Board Garza, for example. So We are going to propose 3 years of mathematics, that is, that a young person can a student can take integral mathematics one and two and the additional math

140that we want to propose. That will cover it, eh personal finance and business mathematics. Yes, those are the ones courses they can take or any new ones that has developed and will be a semester, a full year, a year a complete personal finance course or a year mathematics staff this business. If we want to incorporate this uh uh business mathematics is a old model, we want to make it more new, will combine the two to make a third year, correct? an optional class, uh, of third-year math that can take the students and for science They want to integrate health classes, a year of biology, a year of biology, one year of chemistry and an additional year of sciences, which would then be a semester of health, a semester of health because it wants to put

141within science. HE will incorporate health standards into the one-year biology course. Incorporate the health standards in the curriculum of biology. But wait, wait for me. Biology and health. I was different for myself. I'm not that old, but oh well, anyway Yes, I did well with the math, but I'm trying to Well, for additional courses in sciences, students currently They have multiple opportunities to in sciences include criminalistics, forensic science, environmental science, anatomy, honors classes, anatomy classes, also AAP courses, environmental, physical training, also preparation classes for university physics. So it's very well equipped for the sciences year third. It has been common practice that the Students have been scheduled for year 3 Years of science, huh? So the The courses have already been created and are being implementing. We are only formalizing it as a requirement. Yes,

142but Those courses could not be optional. Yes, that too. But health is mandatory. We need to have a health class, TRUE? Well, according to what he wants and the wants to integrate. I want more separate them, but if we have to go That way, if I want the others to be well clearly defined. That's it. that I'm trying to get, But I'm going to go, we're going to continue and We'll talk more about this topic. and studies of ethnicities. Is this a year or a semester? We currently have both options, courses that last a year and also this semester that will come out next year. We have studies of the ethnicities, these are year-round and They are currently offered in both schools. He's going to let us know about I want to see these courses.

143I have My eyes, I'm a visual person. But Thank you for your information. No more questions. Please reply soon, before Let my colleagues get angry, please. I know. Quick, very quick, by favor. Do you have plans to assemble staff? And teachers? How is he going to do it? and it They are going to survey students. Well, teachers, using the way we use the year past and present, we bring together masters interested in teaching the classes, We asked who had that interest and we bring them together, we gather them Well, one requirement that existed was... that we have to work together between the schools and we got to have representatives of the flowers Summerset, Bellflower and Mayfir They met this year, they looked at several several courses first modeled them They looked at the model's resume

144that It existed, they modeled the courses, the They adapted to meet the needs ours, what we wanted to cover as school. We submit for approval We gathered their courses this school year back. the Year 10 literature team, ethnic studies, uh the foundation of ethnic studies of ethnicities, this is They also gathered, they met, they It gave time to develop a curriculum and teaching plans and we want that Let's do something similar with the course of teachers' finances at each school and meet to develop the courses. I know you're not great, but no I don't think I know about design, the teachers, how are they? They develop, but it is the contributions of what This is what teachers think about This presentation, things like that. That's what I'm saying. asking. Well, that's what we're doing. now.

145Last Monday, he... We present the leadership teams In schools, the presidents of departmental and they are returning to their apartments, They are having these conversations, collecting contributions from colleagues of their departments, They will have the opportunity to share their feedback Regarding the updated requirements, the strengths that we should consider, refinements, current challenges. Yes, it informs us in our next steps. Similarly, I will speak with students meeting with the group student advisor at each site, uh the student cabinets for to get their contributions with those focus groups to have more feedback on that inform us about the next steps. How many students are in those groups? I want us to have Quite a few, well, I'm going to stop doing that. products and I'll tell you what I want. I want a lot of contributions. I

146want to see many to many people that they They ask questions like teachers. As a teacher, I I can see this. I love who did it This table. Year of a full year, visual arts, this art, a semester of health. I want, I want options, I want to see options And now listen, cheers, because we are very, uh, well, very for us it seems very important, because we want variety of community contributions, teacher, That's what I'm looking for. I'd better go Stop it now. Thank you. Anyone else? I have some questions too. So my first question The talk is about the topic of immersion dual. What is the current process or courses offered to students of dual immersion in terms of world languages? In the high school from 9th to 12th grade, already that they

147have taken 6 or 7 years from another language, so what's going to be done For them? Currently the path to students is the additional courses of the language so that they may have this path literacy eh double. students coming from IOC, of dual immersion, they take seventh eighth degree, they continue on the path in the preparatory for them to complete the third and fourth year, they take classes advanced Spanish, allows them complete 4 years in the world language for literacy necessary. Those are the courses that They take. There are no other immersion courses dual in the ninth and tenth grades, in other areas. of matter, eh, because they go all the way to eighth grade, no more, but we are in process of having talks with the school secondary school, immersion teachers dual, Mayf's staff

148and for oh that the dual immersion program is more robust, providing additional opportunities for eh registrations in well simulating other districts, incorporating courses of Spanish at university level. of Cerritos school. We have spoken with Cerritos to offer those courses in high school, allowing that Take those immersion courses dual, uh that they are in line with the dual immersion. Currently they have to take an additional two years to To meet that requirement, correct? for to be able to meet the double seal requirement This competition has to comply with 4 years in a foreign language. each student. I'm glad, I'm glad that he spoke Regarding the chronology, I was confused. about when this was going to take place new program, but I want to ask, Please, we ask you, some detailed programs, schedules, These simulations are to

149see where they will go integrate all these courses. I have the I'm also curious about how we're going to meet all these requirements and somewhat worried, not completely worried, but somewhat worried that We'll be integrating all of these courses, but perhaps not having all the rules that they have been addressed. So I think it has a whole board that He needs to see that. So if they can provide some simulated schedules on how That will be possible before it stops. I'm sure if it's possible to do it sooner. of our June deadline, because That's where we're going to approve the policies of the Board of Education with the AR. We want to see that before that, if It is possible. It would give us the ability to power make a decision with more information and

150better informed. Yes, we're going to work on it. simulated schedules, that's why I had That was my intention in the slide. It's going to be different for students because they take different roads, but we have this schedule I simulated for someone from APAP, dual immersion. we can work on in in those simulated programs. Thank you so much. My other question is also It's because if we move on to why you have to an example of an eight-hour schedule periods and another of six. Can you give me any clarity? If we switch to a schedule of In six periods, students will be able to to have the support additional, as the member said The Sintron Board, as she requested. Well, the students could still obtain the courses in the course of eight courses in ELD, LD,

151LD courses can Taking it would be part of their schedule, such As in the past, it would no longer be a question It allows them to take additional courses in its later years when it opens their schedule in the 11th and 12th grade. The six-class schedule creates a certain competition and it's a bit tight for that students can complete and the requirements, sorry, and earn more support or additional support. But there are ways to address that, to be able to give them I support the students with seven eh periods or eight, well I'm not going to this You recommend a period of eight courses are better for students in the future if we are going to require all these courses. I think that a alternative schedule that gives the opportunity for students, This is the

152opportunity to complete multiple requirements without competition to be able to create access and opportunities For students, this would be something that helps. a lot. Students in that way can remedy grades, receive the support that they need during the school day. That is important, I think. AND then I think many of my The questions have already been answered with the questions my colleagues asked, but one more question I do have, I think it's important to keep going forward by proceeding with this. Have Currently, the teachers in our eh source of personnel who can teach these courses. Yes. Absolutely. Have the staff who can currently uh can teach these courses with the options we are trying to address the following school year. Cybersecurity APAP at both sites. We are wanting to incorporate, is implementing, incorporating into the

153CTE road. Uh, in view of what which credentials and strengths already Some teachers have them too. They were addressing courses in AAP seminars at the school of Mayfare next year. There are teachers who can take or who can this to teach these courses also this seeing the desire to impart those classes, ethnic studies, instead of select someone who wants it to teach, we can ask the teachers, who wants them, who has them who is interested in teaching these courses He wants to do the work, because there are work to do to create these courses and there are people who have given volunteering, like wanting to teach these classes. There are teachers who must have interest and a desire to create and add math courses and continue teaching the science classes that we currently have. And

154we have enough offers for mathematics students. Well, we have enough math options, but We could have done a better job creating eh optional math classes additional, no more for students general college preparation and the study and the student body in In general, but that's the job and what has the science department as forensic criminality and other courses in science. We are looking to talk with math teachers to develop and create those courses as well. The total number of courses that They will increase in this plan. As? Excuse me, could you say that again? The number of courses offered during the academic year The plan we have is going to increase, He's going to expand it, he's going to add more. Of What is he talking about? of the courses that are offer during course registration

155or I'm trying to understand whether they will open more courses that they have that the students take. No, it's not necessarily only that. recategorize what already exists taking. Similarly, because the Students are already taking a third year of mathematics, sometimes a quarter year of mathematics. We are saying that They require 3 years, just like the sciences. And I think that so they're ready for the career and university, are already taking live and visual arts, languages Foreigners, class C. I think it's a only way to categorize and to say that this is an area of ​​focus for us as a district, that they are prepared for their races and universities and we want them to take these classes so that they actually are Ready. Regarding the students When will you participate in this conversation? Are they

156going to be presented with that? When are we going? to begin having these conversations with them? Because while we continue It seems we need to do it. right now. We currently have the students, But it's very clear that we have to have a year to be able to carry out conversations with several people, teachers, staff, students, and power expand communications to the families too. So that's going to be it. next year, the work when the advisors are meeting with the students for programming Spring schedules The requirements will be shared in the autumn, but from there they are prepared for those conversations in the spring before enrolling in their courses to the next school year. Thank you for answering all the questions. questions. Anything else? Just one question. It seems that with all the planning They

157have two drafts for sixth and eighth period. It seems that He will divide his efforts. I know there have been conversations. in this regard. I know how I feel when regard. I like the sixth periods, But maybe this conversation It should be expedited to have some of clarification on this matter to be able to better plan what we are going to implement. So it's just a comment for the table and the staff. This conversation It has to be done because it always HE I did a little bit here and there, but if we can shed some light on this plan. I don't see anything else, So we move on. The last talk has to do with 10.2. It is a presentation of the progress of data to the district. I'm going to give it to

158the Miss Bonnie Car. Good afternoon. Tonight I'm going to share an update for emphasize the progress in the local matrix and state. Annually We have a cycle of continuous improvement, which is participating in the process of elcap at the district and school level. The directors participate in a process similar for reviewing and refining the student achievements and plans security to study the results of the metrics, included in these plans, and gather input from the partners and suggestions for improvements. A ELCAP's main update and its The results were provided in February and The directors provided district with their roster updates in January. This year a coalition of Guianzas was created to create the work, develop a strategic plan or a plan for the future, which will guide the creation of future elcaps. In essence, the 5

159strategic plan years is the what and the why of eh and what We want educational systems to have the students and why we are creating the systems to improve the student achievement and success. And the plan of the district for improvement is how and how much, what actions are we going to take to to implement the aspirations of the outline and how we're going to, how much we're going to assign these actions. At the moment We are finalizing the recommendations. As part of this leadership coalition We are looking at the profile of learn and work on the definitions what are the profile attributes learning and what they might be at night. Tonight we're going to focusing on the results relationships alcap has three goals that focus on safe schools. academic achievements and continuous communication with

160its partners and the parents. This year there was an effort to increase accountability and conversations in the data and the taking of sessions to align the tables and of superintendent and his goals so that develop. These goals are or some poles for the leaders where They develop the goals on the site and They evaluate progress. The accountability system is the indicators on the dashboard of California. Given these results, the districts are identified for attendance and student groups They are not succeeding in more than one out of two areas on the board. This shows Our progress, eh, after the 4 years and they can see that in 2023 We identify assistance based on the achievements of English learners and African American students. However, later in other years his groups They improved and are no longer seen

161as included as student groups that qualify for have more assistance. That means that the work we have done for to ensure that those groups are Having successes is being sustained as it should currently be done in the California dashboard and none of Those groups qualify to receive attendance. The idea that we focus Well, it's improved, you can see it more clearly. In this slide, looking at the schools who qualify in total for assistance of the last 4 years. Sun, there were 13 of 15 schools qualified to receive assistance based on your progress with improve student achievement. The most schools were identified in the area of ​​chronic absenteeism this year, since it was the first year after COVID. And as you can see, the rest of the The slide focuses on the groups students at the

162school level. No We have no students, none school that is in ATSI eh assistance in the year 2026. As part of the efforts to continue and increase the central focus on the data, We have developed a data dashboard so that the teams can review the results of the CAP survey. We conduct an annual survey of our members. educational to receive data about the impact of implementing the actions within ELCAP. In the years Previously, that data was provided to the sites in PDF this year. However, we are providing sites with a dynamic dashboard where can uh They can separate the data and they can see it. based on surveys. The administrators, community, teachers and Parents can use the sites with comments and anecdotes and we believe that This resource will be very useful for our school

163administrators. The following slides will focus in the survey results ELCAP and the data points that are shared with educational partners as part of the ELCAP process. This The slide shows us, as they can You see, we've had quite an increase. in the survey responses ELCAP with 900 more responses this year. You can see it here. It also includes classified personnel and we had more than 100 and more than 380 accredited uh, like answers. The increase in responses was due to to sharing with school staff What was the progress, but the teams They took the time to make sure that all voices were heard in This survey, and that's why we have this increase. The first goal is to provide collaborative learning spaces, security and the main goal is that the students go to schools that

164are safe, supportive, and inclusive. The State assesses this when reporting the suspensions, absenteeism and rates of gradation. We have increased the rate of suspension, we've gone from green to orange on the California dashboard, but African Americans and homeless groups They are no longer found in the red. 33% of the milestones improved their rates of suspension last year. As you know As previously mentioned, the goal has been to support the sites so that they can Focus more on the data and we'll help you. to provide support on how to get data of areas to be able to monitor the improvements and areas where they exist needs throughout the year. The tables What you see here highlights the progress of the discipline as an example of what they can use as data. There are fewer total number

165of students suspended current ones of what existed previously and Fewer suspensions on site, but more incidents of other types of mail discipline. Uh, it means the sites They are implementing systems of punitive responses to discipline, to staged support where they can carry carry out correction of various measurements, restorative practices. This pattern is repeated when we see the data based on offenses, eh by student. Also This slide shows us schools that are orderly and safe, and like CAP data is showing that We have an increase, uh, for all the areas. And we are seeing that in the healthy children survey that They are not part of the CAP survey, We have a comparison between 2024 and 25 and in all areas in secondary school, primary school, teachers and parents we have seen an increase in perception

166to feel safe at school. Our commitment to developing systems with stages through the PS of interventions and services of behavior and those are the rewards that we have won and the schools that have done the work to receive these acknowledgments. Another factor that impacts the environment student attendance student. We've improved a little in This area. The groups that reported as red, they are no longer reporting as reds based on the results in the dashboard. we switched from yellow to orange tree why don't we increase enough to keep us in yellow, but 53% of those improved this year past. Uh, the areas and the data They show that we are projecting that there may be a slight improvement this year. A strategy that is being used this year The attendance of the students, to communicate, the

167importance of attending school in social media. We have also mounted efforts to communicate with the families, students who are absent, including making calls personal, review the practices of independent study and carry out meetings with students' families who are absent and constantly. An incentive has also been increased and recognition programs. In the district's graduation rate It increased by 4%, reaching 94%. The most noticeable improvement was in the rate of Summer High School Graduation which went from 65.4 to 83.5%. It is also important to realize that English learners, students with disabilities, those groups too they had a large increase compared to last year. This can be attributed to the enhanced communication and support that is It provides students with the adults on staff, including the guidance from the advisors and the focus on increasing the connection of

168the students to school. This year we have done the environment and culture an improvement such as something we're not focusing on these days student internships, dedication in implement the practices. We have seen increase, increase in student connectivity with students, teachers with students. Parents in surveys have said that they feel, uh, like part of the learning environment that increased 75% of last year. I also report that the organization of hearts of We students have been appointed a East district of the rising star. 11 of the 15 schools have gained status of crescent star. This talks about the implementation and responses positive surveys we have received. This CQH program has, uh, in Regarding the implementation of our programs, as part of the implementation impact that we see this professional development and support that in the next year

169and this will continue implementation. LCAP goal two is about the university preparation and achievements academics. We have remained at the same level green in this area, given that we have increased the percentage of students who graduate prepared in compared to last year with by 4.3%. All the groups that were in red level, they're not in the red anymore. We have improved and we continue focusing on this improvement. We want that 100% of students graduate and Continue with this progress and eh and his achievements. We want to increase the graduation of prepared students for university in its courses, the same as graduates of students of English. Uh, an ALCAP survey shows a high level of opportunities information that students have about eh universities eh Cerritos, AVIT, in other programs that have increased opportunities for take courses

170from this dual enrollment now also available in Summerset and The Flowers. The survey data from ELCAP shows that parents have obtained more information in comparison last year on opportunities careers and universities. Increase in 59.23 to 87.23 this year. Uh, we'll focus on this. of the advisors in this area. We continue the Instagram accounts of the advisors that They frequently publish on both sites. There are ample opportunities for students and parents who receive Information and support on preparation for graduation, and to enter the universities and careers. This gives information about Steam programs and enrollment and investment programs double. This slide shows other metrics on our successes post-graduation that they have We have that 42% of students are prepared for these requirements that They are meant to be in this position. universities. those who register in 4-year

171institutions in the understanding of postgraduate success, We are using national data that registrations report and persistence and persistence rates eh UC and CSU registrations. We are Updating the student survey in order to keep track of the eh student activities postgraduate studies. Let's move on to the next one slide. Academic achievements. We can see that We have increased the percentage of students and competition on state exams. We have status yellow, we want to arrive and pass the levels before the pandemic for all students and all groups of students. Compared to the year In the past, 60% of schools have shown improvements with great growth and more of 9% in some schools. How can Look, African American students already They are not in red and the percentage of this student group has improved in compared to last

172year by 3%. Uh, the level chart, uh shows that these restorations After COVID, the rates have changed that we had before COVID. In this data you can see in the student group, the students of English have passed more than the percentages It was before COVID, but it's still an approach improvement for us in looking at the data by our partners. We see negative trend or no trend. This shows us our approaches in These areas to meet the needs of students. In the 2324 school year We wanted to implement more courses In mathematics, this provides more support to the students. It's not a platform they have access no more than 30 minutes, but it is a platform that supports students to select additional practices for students on compliance and rules that this must comply with for

173content they have already seen previously. Support students in that topic and has the highest implementation with a view to good, We want to expand that. If we look and We met the goal of passing more rates Before COVID, students of English have surpassed by 44% Regarding schools that comply and 14% have reached the goal of spending more 50% in achievements. in vir the data of milestones for this year. We have seen achievements improved in almost all schools in view of the growth. We have seen growth in almost all schools also. This year we spent time talking to administrators, helping them understand how to grow in the achievements for students, that the students continue to grow and close that gap. We are looking for a rate of 50% growth in mathematics and in ALS. English arts,

174the language arts English have passed competition in all schools, in every student group. Depositiva has shown that we went from orange to yellow. Uh, improved 8.4 Students with disabilities, no longer They are in red. We have improved the student competition throughout the district by 4% and have seen increase in 11th grade students surpassing pre-COVID rates. In the 29%, 50% of students have passed through school have achieved 29% of students and 70% of schools have reached higher scores. And now we are not going to destig This is the dual investment students. We see that although we had a This year's decline remains high 59.6% 6% higher than the percentage of district. This is not in that slide, so please excuse me for not that No, it's not there, but instead of the tables... in the state,

175African American students or others with disabilities have passed pre-COVID percentages. Looking at the data in the cuts we have seen in the 4, 5 and 6 an increase. It's difficult to show data for high schools because There's a gap in the exams, uh... as to what year they are given them. to see this year's milestone data. We have seen an increase in all the schools from fall to to winter. We have seen growth also in all schools. for Continue to comply with these rules, this Professional learning is important, There is an increase in all areas for give teachers opportunities to additional learning, area with more growth, the monitoring of the schools on the practices of teaching. The district can see that the visits that administrators receive in the classrooms in 100 visits in The entire

176district is an increase in what that we have accomplished in the past, that It has to do with an increase in feedback and collaboration in school sites. The survey shows that students have opportunities to learn content critical, the approach to materials of instruction. This, however, is the lower percentage. We are focusing In this, in the future, uh, seeing opportunities that may continue for increase these rates. The ALCAP survey also shows increase in teacher collaboration. This year there is a high percentage of agreement where teachers meet, review data, they make interventions resume, uh, they're in their place in the schools. Forward. The focus will be increase progress monitoring and analysis of collected data. Hey, As I said before, earlier, looking at the evaluations and develop them by developing them. Uh, the Survey data shows an increase

177in the agreement that the schools have They have clear goals, this, the Students know if they are complying The goals, all areas agree that we can continue to refine the support and processes because according They are still needed continuous efforts. They have turned out some celebrations and some this awards for the school. highest year for 6 years accreditation. Pflower has achievements of eh the honor student group, eh students in honors courses. We are pleased to share that we also Flowers is the first to win or manages to be a school with school recognition this featured. eh meta 3 in the elcap approach in continuous communication. Uh, there's one increase in our publications, social media. We have more views. We have grown in this area in the Instagram presence with over 740 followers and a high

178percentage of organic views and an increase in ad views. Uh, the ALCAP results too show that there is an increase in the perception that the school gives Information and resources for parents in areas for continuous focus. They are the perception that if schools give workshops for families, they provide, because we've gone down in other areas. I have contributed self-contributed content to the sites schoolchildren. shows that there is an increase in participation, but there is the perception that the workshops are offering. So we're having a conversation on the topic, saying that we are giving showing factors in the district in eh In total, we have more recordings in these places where it exists, uh, this information. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding or Perhaps we should publish and announce eh in a better way. We have spoken

179with directors to see what he means this. Uh, another low area in this slide is the websites interactive. What we're looking at is that we want to see that the department PIO will give us more professional development the administrators to help them with the knowledge of how to continue updating their websites and providing Oh, workshops for directors so that can do the work together. The public information office has worked very hard in the television, creating videos, eh spots, highlighting our programs, registration campaign. We have increasing contact with the communication with trade fairs, conference of special education, fairs east of primary schools, exhibition and a available resources fair for the community. Promotional videos for the dual investment program, programs of uh in the one from the independent study in the flowers. It was created and published

180for share with families why they should to bring their students to the district from Belflower. We are also this learning and leading outside of district, highlighting the work that we do and share our ideas in like this Axa and Calza at the conference of Equity, uh, and in the summer we're going to present at the Summer Institute. That brings us finally to the completion of our our progress update on the data. Thank you, ma'am, for your presentation. comments. Yes, I only have two things. First The question is, uh, not about the data, but I want some clarification exactly what is it capturing the hearts of young people. I heard that uh uh, he said that name many times, But I don't know exactly what it is. You are hurting my heart, Chubique. I'm glad you

181heard it, That's positive in the in the in the the that were created this year. If you recognize That, well, capturing the hearts of The youth organization is a We attract to help us with the professional development for how we can This includes students and make them part of the room. Those contacts social studies that all classrooms see is part of engaging you and involve him more in the environment of the classrooms for you and your classmates students be responsible and be held accountable. Well, one final note I want to say, I I'm going to assume that the data that we eventually collect from this It will make us think about what we need to change. In the district, what else needs to be added? modify, remove. And I want to say which I think

182is important have more student positions in things like this, because I know that our The community is very diverse, teachers, We have advisors, uh, staff classified, parents, students, but At the end of the day, most things students will be impacted. So I feel like, well, I want to be here. It would be nice to have more students in the fourth when that happens. So we have the right ideas in mind regarding policy changes. What I see is that those social media and ads, we grew up, that's what I know I'm not saying you don't. You have that information, huh? But We do have that information and We know what they want. What is it that captures the attention of students? a student, how to deliver the message, It would be nice if there were more

183student exhibitions. Thanks for your comments, Chavi, that It is appreciated. Well, what I'm hearing It's because you're volunteering for social media. Does anyone else have questions? comments? I have a question. In fact, we're talking about how we no longer have African American students and apprentices of English which don't help us qualify for the additional assistance. Can you speak a A little bit about that? Can you clarify this for me? It means we still have a percentage, but it's not enough to qualify or we're at zero. When we see assistance for student group districts in two different areas. So, when you see That slide, I don't know if they can to put it, but the English learners, Those two are racing Yaria, languages ​​of art, English and math. For African Americans it was suspensions and then

184arts language and math. It means they have had improvements in these areas. For example, I talked about the English learners that They are continuing to have better rates at graduation and African Americans students, there has been a definition, the amount of suspension for them and one of these It is no longer present, therefore it is no longer They fall within two areas and do not qualify. uh for assistance. So, We continue to see all the groups student, They're simply not qualifying for have assistance. That's why the The goal is to ensure that all the schools and student groups are going through the rate before COVID. And we listened to each other. They went overboard before COVID, but the percentage of schools were more than 50. So we simply continued to increase the goal. So, the

185goals and these increases, How frequently are they doing this per year? after a year or how? We're going to analyze the data year after year. and see how they compare and from there determine These goals are meant to be achieved. So, it's annually to respond to your question. Yes I have. Maybe they know the answer. To the Better not. How do we know for sure that we are using other options when we are talking about suspensions with our African American students or students in minorities? can tell him that what we see for Correcting is what's going to happen find Aries on the screen. So when a discipline in a school site is determined if the student is going to be suspended or is going to carry out another type of correction and That ends based

186on the gravity of what has happened. So what What we do is look at the data And that's where we got those codes from. to see. For example, tonight there was a decrease in suspension and a increase in other types of corrections understanders at the school site They would take out and see based on their groups students and from there they can investigate I'll look into this further and see if there's anything else. pattern. If there are students who have several incidents, and from there, what is the What are we doing? How does the system work? school-based to support that? And this includes all the schools in the district. They have these conversations, they are investigating further, making sure that they are looking at these little details. Yes, they are. extracting that data. For example,

187them I shared that this year the directors They gave an update in the middle of year in January to the cabinet. As part this, before this period of time they we provide uh in Aries uh so they can bring out their our own data and then they can introduce. So that's the effort in addition to Dr. Simon's goals and the goals of the directors additional, that we are now more data-focused. Perfect, thank you. If I had a question further, but I forgot CRfield. Uh, the registration campaign we know, maybe That's the question for someone, but What budget do we set for the campaign? registration? I think we paid advertising. It was specifically outlined. I don't know, I guess it's out of the Fund General because the PIO is from Superintendent's department. I don't know the

188figure of how much was used in this Campaign. We can find out how much we spent on this registration campaign, advertising specifically, the increase that we had on Instagram. It seems so, that the campaign of Registration is performing well in all platforms, but I have the Curious to know how much we invested For that. And one more question, please help me because There is some data here. What are they? the data? What do they reflect? It depends on which table, which slide, but if we're talking From the dashboard, this will be the data Last year, the CAS is also the year past, But they are viewing the information in Aries, this is current and this is what We are continuing to improve. It's meant to be done every 3 months. So, Some of the data

189is from last year And something is current. I have a comment and then a ask. Is there any way ours in Friday's memorandum that Can we have the full presentation? Because there was a slide that didn't... He gave us, which he presented. I typed and saw the slide, it's that there is transitions in this. So I think that when The impression was made, this one didn't He grasped the transition, I'll get it for him. I also wanted to emphasize what he said student member check, which to It's better when students are involved on social media in a more official in school buildings. Perhaps we can carry out some type of internship and may receive some type of credit. It can help with all the other things what they have to do and things that are

190required of them and that. I think this is a skill, It's also fun and many of the Other students will want to participate. Apart from that, so they can find out how advertising, not only to students, but for the other public in the community. I think that the experience I have had up to They have some very good ideas right now and They understand the trends, but it also focuses in in the messaging behind all of this. Believe that those two groups as teachers or IPOs can perhaps be brought together to create something that is very robust so that may receive some credit. I think that It will also help with culture takes place in the staff. It is also simply a idea. I also want to give you here the knowledge to Chevique and

191this is what had. Thank you. Oh, I just remembered the question. In the Slide 25 talked about the professional learning communities. As a teacher, I know that in kindergarten I will to have perhaps six to eight children that probably They're going to get low scores. Hopefully not, but sometimes it does happen. Schools, how do schools and the teachers, how are you maintaining a I'm registering this? Because it happens year after year. These children appear in the data. What is it that is doing for keep a record of these children and investigate in depth which ones are the support systems that they are we giving as a school system? Me I'm glad I asked this question. It's something I've been talking about what he's talking about with the directors, He is talking about the process of

192intervention, the program we have currently and that we can fine-tune. He visited every planet in the school recently to talk to the directors, to see what it looks like monitoring progress. So I understand where things are headed. thinking. I think it still exists to develop a little more, But the conversation is moving towards cape and this is part of what was saying in part of the presentation, that we need to continue to focus in common assessments and what they will to do so that they can be part of the monitoring progress. AND so when they are carrying out the assessments in kindergarten, they realize that these eight students are not meeting the mark or score of these evaluations, which so We are frequently monitoring it and we are continuing to do so during the year.

193That needs to be improved, it's something we're talking about Currently, and my goal is to continue This is for next year. I'm excited to hear your ideas in this regard. Thank you. Any more questions? comments? Well, now have any issue we want to remove from the consent agenda tonight It doesn't seem so. I'm going to withdraw the 11.20, please. I have a motion to approve the agenda of consent with the exception of 1120. Motion seconded. We took attendance, please. Chevique, yes. Armstrong, yes. Stuart, yes. Cintrón, yes. Cratfield, yes. Garza, yes. The only issue that was withdrawn was 1120. I think this It's the amendments and points listed in the contracts. I have some fantasies about contracts. Have some requests from St. Joseph, private school. I understand that They are part of the money, they have

194to be give to them. But the question to Staff here, is there any What is the limit and how often is it done? Yeah There is a limit, there is a percentage that the private schools are allowed to receive and is part of all the funds of qualification. So if there is a limit when it says how often they arise the contracts like that. If the contracts are like that We've seen some before, but this one is the one we have seen. In fact, two to the at the same time is something very infrequent that Look at a contract, but this talks about the needs of schools private. So if we've had a increase in private schools that They are using their funds, so The best part is you'll see more things like this from

195here from now on. And if they don't use the funds, because I assume we already have These sections, They keep them for next year, what What's happening to the funds? These funds They would be similar even in how we use The title funds will be given a A new allocation each year. So, if They don't use the full funds, what's happening? the extra, the leftover. Well, my uncle's funds are, uh, he has a duration of 27 months, they have to use during this period of time and then we are given another assignment to Title Two, so continue to have an allocation year after year, but it doesn't go to continue growing and growing if not They use. Okay, thanks. My next one, or do you want it? Well, sorry, thank you. My next question is

196about How much from Paper Education America, I see which we have for 167,424. It says here that 2025, 2027, But perhaps it was a mistake on the part of because I think I read a contract that It's from June to July. Yes, it spans the years prosecutors because it's for the school of summer. We are using... advice Academic paper grow. It is different from that exists online. They're going to see tutors or academic advisors during the academy summer with the students. In addition to Going to summer school is also possible. This support system gives them... during summer. Yes, they will have their teacher. summer school. Remember that those Teachers give and teach multiple grades, So they're going to teach in different degrees. Grow teaches another one and then he They can exchange. So, the timeline

197or 20 25 to 207 is for the summers, no further. 20 25 26 27 is not during the year regular school. No, not currently. It is, but it can happen in a renovation, but This isn't the renewal, that's for the summer school. Okay, thanks. That's all it didn't have case. No, no, it didn't make sense in that way. me so far. Thank you. in and in reference to the contract with the department of Aguasiles del Sherf de contado de Los Angels on functions and safety on safety in school functions uh, during, he says it's for the rate, uh fixed. What is that? rate? Well, I'll have to look into it. He The original contract must have the amounts, they didn't update them, but in we put the board's file original contract and the amendment. The

198I can look for the original. It's the same amount than the original contract. Yeah. They didn't ask for any increase in the proportion, just an extension of time and we also only use it for Our special events, right? graduation and it's correct. We used them several years ago for American football games. In the Not in recent years, but we're back in... It was 3 years ago, but it's only graduation, but two or three matches of American football existed before that. And the contract also says that if required a physical space in our facilities Schoolchildren can make the request them and we must provide them with the space, the furniture, paper, this, that's normal. I don't I know those contracts. It may be a common practice for them and may that the contract is a bit

199outdated Regarding time, the period, the refers to the period of time when There were school buildings. Now We only use them for events specials. They can make the request, But this does not have to be fulfilled. Hey We need it in the contracts, right? For the services we use, right? So that's normal language that is This includes in case the situation arises. In There may also be situations where They have to move large units of units. They are allowed to contract expeditiously displace those eh eh officials to the necessary teams. is The language in that is a bit... ah, uh... old-fashioned contact, but it must still remain so that the responsibilities that we have They have to ask or and and we can We will proceed with the decision. Well, Let me rephrase the question.

200Yeah that some Does it ever happen that there is some space already? designated or we would have to uh formulate or provide them with one. Well, in that moment we provide you there is space in all the teams with the registrations that have declined. have space, we don't have to designate spaces now because it is not a need, but it can easily be what to do if a situation arises where requires. And this is perhaps apart from the contract, We can possibly search or look at look at the security protocols, such as Once this happens, it's something the committee... security can address. Have segments in the district where if something We could already have a space designated thinking ahead ensuring the use of limited time that We have an emergency, perhaps designate a space where

201that can eh occur. I wouldn't want to lose These minutes are important if there are any emergency of that type. That could be Something great for this short film that's coming that talk regarding security school. Okay, we'll add it to the list. Well, thank you very much. I no longer have questions. I have a question, Sorry, but this came up. Which ones are these academic levels and teachers are teaching multiple levels, this uh during the summer? Typically It is about first and second, third and fourth, uh and fifth and sixth. They are schools primary. So yes, that's what it's about. primary schools. I can obtain the specific information of what exists this year. I know that some districts They don't make it mandatory, but They make it optional. How is it chosen? Summer school for

202elementary school students? We looked at the scores in the N WBA, students who need this need additional support. We started there and These students are offered the chance. First I'd like to see more about that, because if we're looking at that as an intervention strategy and We are trying to change, or if there is courses or teaching different levels academics, I don't know how that can be advantageous. Okay, let me take a look and see. How does that look this year? I'm going to this I extract it and put it in the updates. Okay, thanks. Okay, perfect. Do I have a motion? to approve this point? I make the motion, I second that. I vote, please. Chavica student member. Yes, ma'am Armstrong. Yes, Mr. Stu. Yes, ma'am Sintron. Yes, Mr. Chrisfield. Yeah, Mrs. Garza, yes.

204us It dimmed a little and that ruined us communication with the other team.

We talked about ways to improve tap water, including the transparency, to report on the water quality of

206key and create relationships with the clients and provide information and customer feedback. Hey, I attended Costa Costa with the members of the board, members of the board of educations throughout the state. us They gave information on matters of federal court and actions that are in motion.

After all this, I...

207is is needed for our students. I attended, I attended the second annual one, eh awards stars of the district of Belfor. The place was very beautiful. The Blue society of Long Beach was present and our singers from Bell Flower. It was a presentation, huh? Perfect. The food, everything was this me I had to limit myself to one serving. That Well, I didn't have that much because the The food was delicious. Therefore, as our superintendent, Dr. J He mentioned that a teacher employed classified were recognized from each of each school site and the only thing that probably The most difficult thing was selecting the teacher of the year, female teacher of the year and the ranked employee of the year also. And once again, congratulations to the lady Hill and Ernie Pile for being uh this

208named teacher of the year and Mrs. Pérez from the district office as an employee ranked of the year. And finally, I attended the H Awards. It was a party. I had to restrain myself. I didn't dance, no dance. It was good not to dance for a change. but I had the opportunity to look at many of my colleagues with whom I worked and even my own district where job. I, of course, felt... I sat down comfortably, didn't I? The district where I work. They call him again the short awards. And this The prize is for those who know us.

Wake up Because you are going to leave and I have to subtract the closed session. 27 of In March I went to women's leadership and registration onque. It was a very good one. conference. The

210keynote speaker was very It was inspiring, and I appreciated her point of view. positive in life and reminded me of it do your best, videographers. On March 28, Cretel and I went juices for the debate competition Lions. The theme was community. We didn't have no student from the district of Bellflower. to request, we hope promote some of these opportunities small student scholarships. Something that My personal question is whether there are someone in the district who can put all these scholarships and competitions in one a place to be able to disseminate the information to the students. If you can tell me if We have this, the Friday memorandum. I would appreciate it. From April 11 to 16 he went to the CUSB Washington DC conference. Key advocacy points when we meet with the congressmen They were

211IDA, online security, AIA, CTI and social media is a concern and mental health. We need to focus on exploitation data for have security settings, expand eh advertising policies and addressing the cyberbully. Um, the proposed law of children and the privacy law 2.2 gives Congress a pact to have significant protections for that can do this. With AI we advocate with an increase in the transparency, oversight in the student internships, safeguards of personal information, proportionate infrastructure financing cybersecurity and training and establish clear tools to students and staff in the classrooms. CTE wanted to expand CTE funds for support strategies for recruiting and retain the edifiers and our residences 100,000 to 120,000 per year in the Parkins Grant funds, which We use them for supplies and materials supplementary, etc. So We just want to water and make sure

212that those funds are still available available. The IDE is very simple, We've talked about that, that we have to Receiving 40% of the funds is not the case. So We continue to push for the full 40%. We have advocated for small increases every year so that we can recreate this fund and have more funds for the students of special education. One session she attended had some very sad and disturbing statistics in the polls. They showed, I emphasize. of the K1 budget. 2.2 thousand Millions are going to funds in Ty to improve The instruction of teachers and they are not seen 819,000 appointed in cuts to the three titles that are used for the immigrant funds and learning English, eh to the education of immigrants, 1.4 billions of cuts in the titles four funds that are

213the support academic and enrichment. What I take away most of all is that shows that if democratic republic or pending, education is supported in our priorities. In all the The parts are almost identical, then, Why is it so difficult? I don't understand that. This isn't a topic at all, huh? supporter, so as a member and Teacher, I see the memories that security and it's frustrating when we know we have it that there be more funds for education and And they're not there. It is important to have these talks, so call the elected local and state officials, just like federal congressmen, senators when we are talking about our children. I enjoyed all of this spending time with my colleagues and doing networking with the other members and the superintendents. On Friday I went to the PT

214services and recognitions. Thanks to the PT for everything they do for our community, our families. It was a beautiful ceremony for a tribute and from volunteer teachers, administrators who truly make a mark difference in the district. The teachers who were honored Mary of IOS, Marisol Duran from Bellflower High School, Heather Lauren, Jer and Amy Ry and Julian
