My

025name is Mary Beg. I am a mother of a young man with moderate to severe symptoms, eh day class in Washington Elementary. I'm here tonight because I strongly disagree with the different making decisions that They directly endanger my... son, to my daughter and others like her. Decisions without the consent of parents in our contribution and respect, respect for our role as mothers. is runner, my daughter abandons the the staff, has no concept of the dangers surrounding her. Each This environment has to have supervision to keep her safe. Washington Elementary is the only school that currently provides a level of security that my daughter needs it. I can add that my My daughter went to school in the county of Los Angeles and I couldn't find one school for their needs. I had it to move

026here to Bellflowers. was out of school for about 3 months because LA School put her in a class general education and it was very difficult for her. the teacher kept running behind her, it was quite out of control for her and the teachers, Sorry, that's quite a lot. stressful. So Washington in In reality, it has been a very good school. safe for my daughter. The staff He knows, he knows the staff, they know how answer when running and school is secure enough to prevent leave school. where the district proposes to move to My moderate to severe program, it doesn't have the levels of security, they don't have complete fences, the same training, they are not prepared to deal with the behaviors and risks of safety for our children and what They face it daily. My

027daughter is moving Thus, it is not small, it is a threat to your security. If it happens, if there's a moment to distraction or the consequences They will be devastating. Edie Pile does not have a safe place to drop off and pick up. It is the school from where he receives from his home a letter and says that's where he has it that go. It bothers me. I have this plans to homeschool until that the district changes its mind or we can make for a safer school. Pile It's not for my daughter. If something happens to me daughter, nothing will bring her back to me. I have to take care of my daughter at home $24 per day. Every day I have to to make sure she is safe. She didn't understands the danger. I

028have cameras throughout the house, Secure doors both inside and out. HE has run away from me. When he learned to walk ran to the main street. Taking her to school was very difficult and stressful to carry it, but in Washington I found peace and the two we were the same. Please take this into consideration the safety of our children and think in us as parents were in How do our shoes feel if they don't take an opinion into consideration when move their children to another school or program. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Next, I think Yamil Sor Soria, I think that Yamela, Logan's mother, is one of them. That's how I am everyone knows him. Logan's mom Thank you so much for being here. here. Which is it? It's already installed. Sorry. Good

029evening, board members. I'm here for the same reason as the mother before me and Sorias. my name They won't remember it, but Logan's mother Yes, I'm a mother of a daughter on the show. Moderate to Severe SPC in Washington Elementary, in Bellflowers district. I'm here because I'm very disappointed. It was done without without us. The, as well as having made decisions in This district has recently shown that Maybe nobody cares about our small or our opinion. the decisions to change the location of my daughter's program, without notifying the Parents in advance, no mail electronic. I had to ask for it. without informing the parents or looking our contributions, opinion or concerns. They are violating the rights of our parents or even federals. The IEP is a This document is binding and does not can alter

030without consent and parental involvement. It is literally in the copyright of parents who give us every time we have a IEP. People with these laws Education programs have safeguards. By That's why the government has checks and balance sheets. You cannot do decisions without us and we not we can make decisions without you. Our education Our children require that we be involved. It must be an effort of team for our death, at least the fact that this decision was made without We were just informed. then without any debate, opportunity. shows that our voices don't seem to matter and Neither do our children. No more changes the local movement, but it has needs that they have safety measures to ensure success at school. We are very afraid, seeing that the schools where they have changed them, no

031have adequate security measures or the moderate to severe classes to which He will assign it. They're not going to have those moderate classes severe in that place. Students cannot have a continuation of services. That's a large and dangerous combination. The we are This is putting you on the path to failure. So I'm looking at how they're going to integrate the moderate classes. For these sites They have changed them. Some sites not even They're going to have them. They want to violate the IEP, the district that requires continuation of services. Some parents have classes that integrate them with mild classes to moderate and I think my student also. Well, that's not going to happen when They're not moving it because it doesn't exist. But I want to continue. Take the time to finish. If you They

032want special education and management expects us not to read the parental rights and the laws and not let's know the laws and what we don't know our rights. But that's not it. No, that's not correct. I am here and also other parents and I am here to ask you the board that they don't move their children to schools that are not equipped, appropriate, which are not safe, not They even have enough teachers. I already I asked, I wouldn't want this for myself son. This is what I've had in the Belfower district. Unfortunately I asked that they protect the students more vulnerable in the district. Ignore this The issue is violating the rights of parents and I would appreciate it if You have, let us give our opinion. We had to come and say something, Otherwise

033you wouldn't know about So thank you, I appreciate your time. Well, thank you very much. Some things. Madam, those three speakers They left their phone numbers, please. make sure we hire them and Let's answer any questions. Second, Please update the board on the Friday's memo, assuring you that we have located all the parents and how There is communication with parents and how they have been notified. We talked about that earlier, but if tomorrow we can Update, thanks. Yes, we can. do. Our last speaker is going to use A translator will be Mrs. Maria Zamurano and Janet Martínez is helping. as her translator. Thank you for the translation, it Thank you. Then let's go to increase their minutes. Hi, I'm a mom like the other two. parents who came from Washington and I I have a

034son there in the program of Estades, his name is Ern Hernandez. I just want to talk to you. from when we attended the meetings. They always reminded us that we are part of it. of a team and I feel that the team doesn't... reported. I I found out that they were going to change my son Ernie Pile to elementary school by others parents and I confirmed that yes. In fact, My son was on the list to be moved. Washington for the last 5 years. Ah, He looked for a house and what he does He usually runs around the house and requires a lot of supervision. Then I walked to Pile Elementary to I saw the school and I didn't like it. change. They told me that my son is going to to switch to that

035school. And I also want remind them that he will be there in sixth grade and my son isn't doing well with the changes. It's going to have to change. the sixth and again when I'm in the next year for high school. I'm here to share this information with you because my son She needs a safety net.

Our next speaker will be to be Ana Hernández also has his number including. Thank you for being here. Good afternoon, my name is Arna Fernández, Jessie's mother Morales, currently in Washington. The reason why I am Here, I'm here because speak for my son, be that they are doing changes. I

036recently received the email electronic that they were going to change to pile. Yes, I went there and saw that the Parking is very different than in Washington. My son does have many. problems with the changes and all that things. Previously they were changing the substitute teachers until Mr. Chanza arrived Washington. Their behavior was terrible, he was aggressive, no I wanted to go to school, many, many things. Now, basically it's already been He's much calmer now that he knows very well Mr. Tanza gets along well with him, and now that there are going to be many changes, I think it's not fair to They too, because of all those changes They are in special education, no They understand these changes. I think that Mr. Chan and they are sending my son to Pile. So, the situation

037is that I I wish she wouldn't take it, even if she did. decision to make the change because Our students are special and not Everyone understands that only parents who They have special needs children. I them I ask, I am the voice of my son. It would be better if he stays in Washington. Because I recently had surgery on my leg. He likes it, he's a runner. Parking in Washington is different than in Pile. Right now, with my leg, I'm not... I know I'm doing well with these changes. which is going to be even more difficult For me, leaving it at school is best. That's all. Thank you. Many thank you. Is there anyone else who wants to give the word? Yes, because favor, forward. And if he wants them to, if wants to fill

038it later and put your phone. I already filled one. Thank you. I'm sorry, I can't stand out that much. this situation because we didn't know and We feel like many parents do that they suddenly gave us this information. I ask you please, I ask you I ask that you please review this. My Daughter, they're doing as well as they are. part of my little girl. She has confidence, stability and Mr. Tanaza is also his teacher. She loves her very much teacher, he loves going to school. Yeah It has its days and its moments, but I think that's who the person is. The changes he made are selfish and not They were thinking about the feelings of Our children don't even consider talking about it. with us. Nobody knows our children except us. My daughter April

039When he meets him, he's going to talk to him, he's going to He will try to run away from you. He likes to hide, he hides from You, lock the doors. She can't go to Ern Pile by sending her to Ernie Pile is going to be like putting her life in danger. That's how it is That's what I think. Can't risk my daughter getting hurt or that he loses his life. There have been situations that children grant Special forces have fled and they were found drowned or without life. That's what terrifies me. Please help us protect our children and be their voice for Since we are their parents, we are their voices.

We have to go back to see the original details of each one after the committee reviewed it, all the information that was in the previous slides. For example, you you can see that the administration of the The detector is important and we want a que que agobar has options of group and that can give us some samples of the questions for the students. we combine all the information gathered by the committee and We created a declaration for our job. I want to believe, I want to read this a moment. This manifestation indicates our creation of early interpretation using a effective union and efficient. When we established the criteria such as a district, then

046we saw to the four detection areas. The them Four screeners came from a panel of experts based on criteria that was approved by the State Board of Education. They were selected because They met the following criteria: descriptions of the evaluations psychometric and resources communication. Here are the four detectors, Amira, Mclass, Multitudes and Rap and RAR. As you can see, Rare evaluates first and second and is only In English, the committee eliminated that one. immediately we were left with three committee presentations. We heard from Amira, Mclass and Crowds. We use a tool classification to evaluate the detectors. We evaluate each detector and We had the opportunity to see them enter each platform and test them. We took notes, we ask questions for clarify in those presentations. Here you can see are the tools that we use

047and also use a Google form to collect the committee data. And here we have the results of that the detector committee thought. This It's McLass and orange is what he accomplished with the needs of the district, but It was limited in certain areas such as administration and modifications. Also was not very aligned with the system that we currently use in the district. There's a lot of orange in the crowd, but also adequately meets the needs of the district, but the difference is that had areas of points strong. It had strong ratings of Immediate results, reports to the family and system compatibility current that we use. This is Amira. They can see that Blue was very prevalent. Amira It received a very high rating in the most of the areas that were more important for the

048committee and the district. Based on the data and the debate that we had at the presentation of committee that we are at peace, the members The committee returned to the devices to demonstrate the presentations of the two AmiRa and Crowds. We share this information during our PLC meetings, when The teachers had the opportunity to enter and familiarize yourself with the detectors. At every school site, every Kindergarten, first and second grade, those teachers desas grados had the opportunity to complete a Google form to select one of the two detectors. Here are the levels for crowds, although there was support for the sites, they classified them as suitable or in key areas. The main point they made teachers when they were sorting crowds is what allowed the Students had the freedom to do click during the task

049and then continue. Part of the tasks are manage individually and Teachers thought it would take longer impact instructional minutes. The multitude also needed two devices devices to manage the evaluation. Furthermore, most of the presentation of crowds and the Training sessions are virtual. The Teachers prefer training in person for the detector. Here are the results of Amira. In each category, the majority Those who responded listed as Amira, fulfilling the needs of strong way for the district of Belfower. When the response of the Teachers were analyzed, they fell into four main categories. Herein The slide can contain both topics. First, easy to manage for the teachers, for students and the The information provided is quite valuable. value for the purpose of instruction. Furthermore, there is a strong guideline of AmiRa data and our assessments this one core

050skills. This too a Strong support for dual immersion dual and English students. He The overall result shows that 98% of fifth-grade teachers' students, first and second grade strongly support or may support Mira como our new detector. So based on the information and feedback, Amira was chosen by teachers of Belfower as the detector we will use at the beginning of the school year 2526. Let's look at the Amira detector more than Close to kindergarten and first grade early. It focuses on the basics, recognizing letters, understanding sounds and starting to read a few words simple. These skills are important for creating a foundation strong for reading. When moving the young people from first to second grade, the detector looks at some more skills advanced, read more fluently, understanding what they read. This The approach follows well-known stages.

051reading, ensuring that the students receive the right help in the moment correct. Uh, the detector uh must administer different assessments in multiple measures of early summons. 30 minutes for to be administered. It takes 15, 18 minutes. Amira leads it and doesn't have to do Click for the next task. Each The student will be on his own Chromebook with headphones. The teachers can monitor the students ah as a class they can talk directly to Chromebook. Oh, how is that possible? Amira It has an intelligence system artificial and the system is fair, exact and effective, designed for each student despite history or patterns of speaks. uh has uh detect different accents, dialects, it also accommodates different mental patterns of language, uh, in every ethnic, racial group and levels of people learning English without bias towards any student

052village. strategies advanced for learning styles and individual needs. Evaluations Regulars show that Amira this It works in every group with every group demographic with accurate valuations over 95% for each subgroup and a intervention effectiveness that is It compares to or exceeds what is expected of human academic advisors. Amira in Spanish. Amira in Spanish is a research-based tool which shows a search for key skills in Spanish students. Specifically it was created for Spanish-speaking readers. No more is A direct translation from English helps. this detector detects difficulties reading from very early on stage in terms of culture east of Spanish student. It delivers results. accurate and fair, ensuring that each young people receive the support they need to be stronger readers without import your first language. Ah, look, Spanish is designed for assess reading skills in Spanish,

053focusing on the way The only way Spanish works is as language. Since Spanish has a clear and consistent connection between letters and sounds, the detector emphasizes skills that help students read fluently and accurately. In In general, the Spanish sight is designed specifically for students of speak in a way that assures them they will receive support. enough to be readers strong and competent. After that The parents administer the detector. provides them a very comprehensive report in English and in Spanish that gives a score in general for the student, but sub scores with strengths and areas for improvement that are easy to identify can detect. This is the next one step in the detector process. Students of kindergarten teachers second grade will be trained by Amira to manage the detectors at the beginning of the school year

0542526. that the parents will receive a letter showing the explaining the the the importance of the detector and can This denial of the process with written and The results will be discussed in terms of decisions. PLC instruction based on the need in students. Reading interventions begin in the school sites. The students will be monitored for This follows the development of reading skills. Parents will be informed in interventions, intervention plans and progress reports and meetings. This early intervention is key for all students to be competent readers. Thanks for listen to our presentation. Some Question about this process? our new detector. First, I want to I mean, when I received the package I said, Okay, this is going to be a long one, and you are great. The model presentation as equipment. I want to say it

055now. Colleagues, have questions? Vice President Garza, thank you. Um, Madam President, I have some questions with this presentation, although It's great. Many thank you. Hey, can we give the NWEA? This in conjunction with this. So Okay, he explains what the difference is. in it NW and the purpose of this new detector Amira. If I may, the NWEA of fluency It is normally used in principle and mid and late year. It's an exam for all those basic skills of phonetics and phonology. Give the signs for the student. It's something we've already done state doing. Amira is a detector plus those same exams on those same skills in particular, but They are brief, they are done quickly because We're trying to see the fluency with the skills and It also gives us alerts to know which students

056in which should we focus and in what area. That's why when the committee looked at the detectors wanted to find one that was aligned as close as possible NWEA as much as possible because look, it's just the detector and we will continue using the tools we have used during the years to monitor monitor growth, improving ensuring that they are improving students and learning to read. So which is aligned, but the state had your list as you know, and we we are linked to having to choose from those. We made our own They did a great job. He The committee was larger than those that are They represent the committee and the guideline is the the this and the something the biggest plus for teachers continue working as we have been doing. Not all of us

057are masters at So, explain. What is a detector? What is it used for? What is the purpose? A detector is for is a series of short exams or evidence. For example, it could be identifying letters, sounds of the letters and putting together words to find out if the helpers They can do this easily and This fluency and competence. That's what he tells her, "Well, there are areas of strength, there are This is where it's solid. student, but there are some areas here where we have to work and it is It is important that all areas are solid because they are all the east fundamentals for learning to read and all students need to reach 100% proficiency in the reading. When performing the detection, it takes the results and he plans one of his instruction. Obviously,

058he works at a level... One, the whole group generally does it, But then there are small groups, the idea The group is small because it focuses in different skills, in double extra dose of practice so they can catch up when they're in the group general. That is the purpose of detector. I have more questions, but if Someone wants to intervene, I have one and I'll return it to you. This detector It will be used in all schools primary, including dual investment. Ah, yes. Well, Vice President Garza, someone further? Okay, I'll continue. so. So what I'm saying is saying is from When will these be administered? detectors? three times a year. To the In the beginning, in the end, the detector will be administered at the beginning of the year, as per the code of coational

059in primary with skills of fundamentals. We have a brand in December and we just finished the the spring one. We will continue using NWEA in the winter and spring. Only the detector is for the beginning of the year, then it's to continue once per year. So, well, yes, I remember. that you mentioned which was for use, to monitor progress, but it will not be used for progress reports for parents Or to complete achievement reports, right? Progress monitoring will be done by NWA and I and IA, this EA, sorry, the detector. What happens to the parents of what will be done when we return and when There are conferences with parents, that's something. that teachers can share. They have quite a few reports this informative materials for parents, something very nice that they can share in

060conferences with parents. This is what we are Seeing these strong skills, These need work and this is what We're going to do this, and this is what you you can do at home to help them also. So the teachers have already Given the results, NWA and Amira, because if there is one discrepancy and they're going to use this to progress reports or conferences for Parents, you will receive your achievement report who can say something and then be targeted He can say something else and there will be a quarrel. As I say, there is a strong alignment in what they are evaluating the skills that they are looking at, uh, with the beginning of the year. If I tell him, I'm working with a student, I give It says there are problems deficiencies in this phonological

061awareness with segmentation or phonemic manipulation. Something we must hearing before being able to read and write. Me He tells me that. So that's it. that I'm going to work. That's what I'm going to intervene in. level. NWEA provides progress monitoring and that December brand that we consider very Important, because we need to know What level we're at is the point of the year about those same skills and that seeks one growth with n evaluation NWEA with mix segment. that student It's reaching its normal level. or getting closer, but with Amira what eh the commands that it tells us which ones are necessary. So someone He wants to, I don't think there will be any discrepancy. That's why it's one of the reasons why we chose that. So, Sorry, then let's do a test Those from

062kindergarten and dual investment also. Yes, this is going to be in Spanish, not English. I'm going to see the doctor for the student of Dual investment depends on your language. home because we have students bilingual and we have students only from more English and other monolingual Spanish speakers in the dual immersion program. We will look at the language at home for See if they receive it in English or in Spanish. at what level of difficulty and what type of appropriate to develop in terms of developments must be developed eh for kindergarten students to be able take the exam. Well, the way that The evaluation is appropriate, according to the This development is for kindergarten students a second, so there's no discrepancy in terms of how they should perform students in a regular assessment like the

063NWEA. So we didn't see any difficulty with our young people with or discrepancies regarding the development, which would be a problem for that can perform well or show that They have a problem with their skills reading. So all the students are going to to be able to access the information that they need to understand and which answers to give in kindergarten. If I I can speak from experience because we have have been evaluating students in our site and learning quite a bit with our experience and the with and the current system. The exams or the NWEA and the emotional detector, both are adaptive assessments. We have seen several students, look, a student taking an exam and if it becomes very difficult the exam or the information is very very difficult, it gives something at his

064level for that they do not continue. They feel successful and The two of them explained to Mira how this the teenage explorer. So student W NWEA has an uh this character for that too. are very comprehensive evaluations and and they are adaptive for young people. Thank you. Following ask. He's going to talk about little else about now. What do we do next? passed? After that they get the detector, they have the information. What do they do with the data? in information? Well, the information determines our grouping, uh the a need that students have regarding intervention in the hall and which student needs intervention level two. We have the capacity to be a reading intervention teacher. We can focus more than ever by using the data from the NWEA assessment and what from what I've seen

065with the Mirror. This will only improve what already exists We are doing this because there are many resources, many resources that Let's also look at accessing that after I'll explain to the students, teacher, after the student It is evaluated, we look at which ones skills, what skill area such as time eh They need more support, and those are our groups. And then we have a piece of process monitoring with NWA. We monitor along the way, that is, no looking for the milestones, but we give the progressive monitoring assessment for focus and intervention and the intervention that we do Both answer. Well, thanks for the answer. My last Question, sorry, this speaks more about whether our teachers and perhaps This is more for the cabinet, if They have the strategies, the affiliations to be able to

066properly after they receive this data put steps in place so they can do small group assessments and the work that is needed. Well, I I can defer to them, but I I would reply that that would be part of my training. When they receive Miren's training, part of that goes to to be the transition of what comes next and how They use them in their classrooms. I I want to add that when we look at the The reports were very specific and They showed all the different areas of deficiency. I see that definitely We'll talk about all of that, about PLCs, the Teachers will obviously be trained by the Emirate, but also as a teacher We meet, we segregate, we analyze the data and decide which ones are the next steps. like my colleague Joy

067He shared, we're not going to wait any longer because The areas are aligned with NWA, when we assign monitoring for those We can start mapping specific areas progress and all that information is available for teachers, such as we do as intervention teachers, is to ensure that teachers have They are empowered to use and navigate the access and access data and information ensuring that are improving and students and growing and if not this We have discussions and move on to other steps. What will they be like? How long the teacher training? Is it part of the training years plan or During the year, a PLC? What is the plan with the training? Amira will provide training for teachers and that We will be looking for training. at the beginning of the school year when We're back.

068So all teachers of second-grade kindergarteners will be trained to use Amira and have time to plan, to be ready for the first evaluation. It's a detector different. The teachers are already here accustomed to doing all this It's the beginning of the year, so we're with eagerly awaiting the training, but It's very easy to use. Well, thank you, Madam President, thank you for the presentation. He already addressed this topic, but one more clarification. This, I know that the code 53008 for early identification for student problems, in particular dyslexia. a concern with that law is that the possibility of over-identifying special needs and This uses a lot of resources The additional 1800 we have with IEP is something those level one and two ones Those interventions will take place there. but assuring that this does not cause

069a over-identification problem. They have Have we talked about that? Yes, we talked about that in the committee and the committee members when they left on their way back when They returned to their workplaces to working on their PLCs emphasized that issue. Also when he sees a red flag The detector says, "We must intervene." and do something now. Otherwise, this will continue being a red flag, red signal to end of the year." So that's it possibility that we can intervene early point and it has been a point of discussion throughout the entire broadcast. Vice President Gorsa, thank you. Wanna highlight and emphasize that Scarpose Reading Rope does talk about what is saying, but my concern is that the teachers, our teachers such sometimes they are not refreshed in their skills to address these problems very specific

070ones that will be determining. We are planning so even refresh their knowledge for teachers who don't They've had this for a long time and new teachers who are arriving at Belfower Unified, They too will be trained, and not It's the same in English as in Spanish. We have to be very careful that We're not just translating directly for those students. It doesn't work like that. This is what it teaches us reading to language students different ways to answer your question. Yes, we will provide the training for the TK teachers to third grade that goes to start the new year. We are required to give it this detection. It won't be on those two days, the 13th and 14th. in August, but it will be at the beginning of the school year. The development professional is

071going to be provided and to talk more about Spanish side and how one teaches that Language is what we are working on That, and Janet is involved in all of it. those parts. It's something we have planned to do for the year that He's coming. Do you happen to have any ideas? whether we are going to science can implement It is training perhaps the secondary school teachers and high school at some point, but we want to ensure that we focus on We have a plan for you to get a third-party ticket. to achieve with all degrees and they will Hear more about that in the presentation. accountability of the plan plan control. Perfect. I will also recommend which I think he already I outlined strategies to promote vocabulary, clear strategies will a You are taking

072away my ELC presentation, but they're going to hear that. Plans for next year. Thanks a lot. Member Armstrong, I just want to say that I know who have been working on this since January, from when I saw the training, I said, "Ah, I recognize that name." What do you mean Bonnie Carter is in the same in the same workshop as me too Am I having? Because it makes me very happy that ended. I know it was a lot work and that they did a very good job, especially finding out that Amira is the best for us. Thanks a lot. Have Lots of work, go ahead, but we're going to identify these children early and we are going to give them the interventions from January. Finally, any other ask? Okay, thank you very much. I just

073want to add my thanks to the committee and publicly recognize the teachers of first, from kindergarten, second that They participated and took this work very seriously. oh really. I think it's going to be amazing for us next year. Many thank you. Continuing to the second article of debate, on materials, the adoption of the language materials, I hope They took notes on the first one presentation. Mr. Castañeda, many Thank you for being here with us. today. Thank you. We definitely did take notes. Hello good Good afternoon, Member President Stuart, board members Interim Superintendent Lisa Acevedo. Cabinet members and the community. Me It's a pleasure to be here. to present you with an update on the books, the adoption of books in Bellflower Unified. Our process of adoption ensures that our students have access to high-quality cultural

074languages which prepares them for global citizenship and success academic. With me this afternoon there language teachers from around the world of PHs, the lady Martinez and Madam of MHS, Mrs. García Parquero, Madam Fabin and Miss Lu. Thank you all so much for being here in Belfire Unified. Our program of world language benefits students to have a language requirement another tenglas which is a requirement for University eligibility. Belfader Mayfer offers Spanish and French. Spanish, French and Mandarin Chinese. These courses have the ones they want to reach cultural understanding and awareness global. Our language programs are guided by the standards of California of world languages, which It highlights that we teach how to teach. a language. Uh, the standards and the schemes are participation of the students and communication of the world real. eh instructional changes in

075the Standards give us a greater emphasis It's great that the apprentices take on a role active in the communicative process, in participate in real-world activities and participate in interactions with communities of the language focused on communities around the world. The standards There are 15 main changes that the adoption committee identified three key points for selection new materials. of being environments focused on the student, where the Students learn to use the language that foster cultural connections. The students do assignments that reflect real languages. The role of the teacher is a facilitator or someone collaborative focused on communication with the student. The students are the creators of the language and not only are passive containers. There is an emphasis in percentile communication interpretive, the three modes of use of the language. The bilingual seal is a classification

076for the programs. They highlight the students who need to They arrive with a domain in two languages ​​that demonstrate their language skills and cultural awareness. To achieve To obtain that seal, they have to demonstrate a command of English in their courses. and a mastery of another language by measures similar. English learners They have to draw a four to get together the requirements. This recognition is a very powerful manifestation of students' ability to participate in a global society. Our adoption timeline began end of 2023 and has many fines phases. In December 2023 there was a scheme of the materials to view the materials available in January 2024. editor and we had the presentations editors and teachers chose two options from February to May 2024. We had the materials provisional figures for August In 2024, they piloted

077the second set of materials. In December 2024, the teachers to review the two materials and select the materials Recommended for adoption in April of 2025. We present it to the beings in Taskfords and after I approve it The board of directors is to provide professional training for implement this with success. Our teachers use a feedback tool for evaluation the materials pilots focused on the standards of 2019, differentiate support and focus student-centered learning. I also consider digital resources and for apprentices various. Now that we've reviewed our approach to evaluating the materials, We want to give you opinions on the teachers who piloted these resources. They will tell us the strengths and the challenges of the programs that We consider and they are going to explain to us why what materials we select recommended by each language.

078During our review of the Spanish materials we review several options. Senderos was evaluated by Spanish levels 1 to CU. This text traditional relies on lists of vocabularies without understandable contributions. It has errors. grammarians and has a platform that It's poorly designed. For Spanish speakers, we review maps. This program did not have Ah, that was wrong. developed. We also reviewed triangle for AP and although it did give us important AP content, but lack of comprehensive coverage of the topics of AP and essential AP resources. For Spanish courses we are recommending the following materials so that reporters can be adopted Spanish from one to four. These texts stand out because they have a diverse perspective, has support visuals and has digital resources, has real-world context that involve students with the cultural language, relevant topics and student-centered activities

079For Spanish speakers we recommend out loud. This text is specifically designed for native speakers who He is happy, rigorous, that he has extensive practices for the AP level. and also includes grammar and vocabulary in context, supporting the students while strengthening their Academic Spanish and Connections cultural. For PPE we are proposing topics. We want to adopt this text comprehensive. It is aligned with the course AP is covering all the topics of AP gives us authentic resources and is rich in cultural matters, integration multimedia and also interpersonal, interpretive and presentational. For our programs of French, we'll review this with content rich cultural. He also had several challenges, technical errors, they had limited cultural resources, it wasn't insufficient for diverse learners. There was overwhelming vocabulary without fail, flexibility and support for prepare students so that be ready to

080master the language and be ready to AP. For our French course We recommend the following materials so that they may be adopted. Between culture level 1 to cu pronunciation this program as selected so that they are strongly aligned with the standards and comprehensive support for the two students and the teachers. The key things are the structure of the texts that are six units manageable ones can be taken to their own step. It is an integrated context using custom visuals and immersive resources. The student support has evaluations of student, online platforms interactive, it supports the voice of the students and self-reflection by the portfolios and progressive tracking. And the Lastly, teacher resources the plans include that they are structured and strategies and with many disciplines in the hall, implementation and be ready for EP. For Mandarin

081Chinese we reviewed Gofar with integrated Chinese and Step Up to AP. Kofart has and presents early reading. To make of the From level two to level three is very difficult. Integrated Chinese, originally intended for students university is very fast and has advanced content that may overwhelm our students, apprentices in the high school without a strong foundation. These programs They face challenges in speed, accessibility and cultural relevance for our apprentices in the preparatory. To comply with students' needs, We recommend the following materials so that they may be adopted. Authentic Chinese for level 1 to three and and E Chinese for AP. Authentic Chinese focuses on those centered on the and understanding of students, connect with the lives of the students, encourage participation and have skills in communication. It also integrates elements modern cultural offerings and preparation

082for AP and Chinese for AP. It is designed For advanced learners, you include AP mock exams, tests and real-world projects they develop cultural fluency and understanding. Together these programs provide a complete approach for the different levels to prepare them to the AP test and the communication of real world. Adoption, the process is an investment criticism in in cultural languages ​​in a world that we are sure that these languages ​​that align with the mission of the district, the vision and the approach instructional. Thank you for your time and Ah, we're open to anyone. questions they may have. Colleagues, Any questions? Vice President Garza, I promise you no. I'm not going to This is taking so long time. At what levels? What grades are we going to? To be? Adoption is for secondary school students aged 7

083to 12. I'm going to assume that maybe I am mistaken in assuming that these texts They will also be used for the bilingual immersion or is it completely separate. Spanish speakers will be using in voice high and we have given them a test in These students to see if they will be it challenging enough for them. Well, we've been talking about that. because we made the pilots. Best option It was out loud for the materials that We saw it, but after that we went to visit a middle school with the dual investment program. this We found a good, very good option there. So she's working on that with the district and good to see if it is possible that we we can get and have as a pilot another option specifically for dual investment. She's

084not here, ma'am Martínez left, but he's working on the topic. Oh, yes, it is. Ah, Well. Can you talk about the topic? Stay here too. Well, that was the question we asked ourselves. They did this year, ensuring that this adoption would be appropriate for those of students in Spanish, but that Spanish students in dual investment They are different students. We are looking at this coming year for Let's see if we can identify one, but We want more options than we want review for alternatives, options we can make that will be more appropriate for the student of Dual immersion at the secondary level. Is something we're going to talk about with you later, when we have one new idea about what will be appropriate for students in the program Dual. But for now, this is what

085they're going to do. For now, they're going to use this one. curriculum, study plan, same textbooks used by students from Spanish for Spanish speakers, But we know there will be a need to a change in the future. I am dual immersion master, I'm using I've used it for 2 years. It's a good book, but we can see if there's a better one for This could lead to further growth. Perfect. So for everyone How many of these new adoptions are there? next we have What should we do to adopt new books? There is a cycle, a timeline that established by the Department of Education. We usually expect that guidance, a list that comes out, ma'am Carter, I think you can speak more on the subject, but I know that this Specifically, we had updated the standards

086in 2019 and were updated in 2020, so Publishers were able to update this due to the change in the framework of timeframes, but due to the changes They typically had to be 8 years old, But they were making new materials. to address the novelty. That was My question. The school district eh of California, this is updated every 8 years books at minimum and if you don't know the In response, a member of the community told me He asked the question. Can you answer us? after? But what subjects are they now? next for adoption and which books Are they more than 8 years old? I have to go back with the information about textbooks for over 8 years of antiquity. We say the option of Social sciences is no more than 8 years. English Language Arts

087are indeed 8 years old. Uh, when The teams returned for the update, training of primary school update, We are working in the secondary schools for the following year. We'll have them I think we'll have these for another 4 years books. Our next adoption is mathematics. We will provide training on framework of embarkation. Those titles They don't come out until November. It was, eh, it will be when will we form an adoption committee and we will adopt the committee of adoption for next year. The thing is sciences we will probably go We're getting closer, we're already at about 6 years, but I'm guessing, I'll have to Give the information later and last. once that We adopted language books in 2016 creofield. Thank you, Madam President. Two questions. A, I know that first of all, thank you

088for everything. the work they did. Thank you quite. The cost of each one varies, TRUE? That's a factor. I'm not saying it should or it shouldn't, but to what extent do they occur account What is the cost of the books? Do they know? Before doing the evaluation. The committee doesn't know the cost because it doesn't It affects how we choose a book text. I know I shouldn't, but it was a blind evaluation, so to speak. So, second The question is, at what point do we not use this textbooks when we move on to digital? Some districts use digital, That's quite a lot of money, so I don't know if Well, we're realizing that many of the online publishers They are very heavy now being quite a bit online, they've talked about components and the platform

089was enough, enough. Some were stellar, those selected, by Of course, others with whom one He struggled, but we're changing to that space too. of digital, but for example in the eh Mandarin Chinese language, the AP is in complete online. That specifically be fully online specifically, but as time went on That's going to be a change. But it wasn't a factor in our selection this time. Uh, we know if there is other adjacent or nearby districts Some districts have gone digital in regards to textbooks. Some districts Yes, we will look into that for the future, then. We'll deal with it on a case-by-case basis. Hey, Thank you, Vice President Garza. Thank you, Madam President. My next question It is, when students have this, uh They are falling because they need more support. What are the support

090systems? within these programs? Well, for world language, I know that teachers, The biggest change, I think there is a strong focus on This understanding and some approach that They had it being invested in those real-life experiences. Each of them in each content area They provide support by changing to different schedules in high schools. Yeah allows for more time working with students and in each one from those classrooms of They integrate those supports during that period of time. Also some of Do you want to explain a little? further. Well, thanks for the question. In all our salons, what I support What we have is through uh readers We have this developing a online library that will provide additional help that we need to give to our students and of course that It will help to know

091what we are going to do in as to inform you of our instruction too and it will also adapt to the student's needs at the moment or well yes it has to be relevant, interesting. That's what we try to do in all our our classrooms. So I can assume that too is doing group instruction small classrooms. Uh, yes, yes, as soon as to different teaching styles. us I love social interaction, that's for sure. focuses on collaboration, collaborative. So have plenty of activities that adapt in interpersonal exchange as to literature, critical debate of ideas. That is what language creates in life. It's something that needs to be talked about. Restaurants have to have the opportunity where you exchange information based on what we have taught and they have to use their their critical thinking to show

092that They can solve problems, no more because we teach language, We have the same goal to ensure that The student is ready to face the world. and if I can add with the digital component. Our books Texts should be adapted to that. It we are moving on to with this artificial intelligence. We're doing that too, although we already To add a little to that, the the the the framing asks for the eh talks about the changes being addressed because previously It was a traditional model giving inclusion of the teacher without stopping. Now it's very focused on taking into account It accounts for the differentiation that is needed to address the needs of students. student has just finished the exam AAP and they told me we do carousels, In other words, students talk amongst themselves They

093do it interactively and say that It helped them a lot because the language It should start with talking and other things. The rest follows. Well, many thanks for that. Thus this is the seal for literacy. This is the only one only way a student can this gets the seal by literacy. They cannot take others The students take exams, but that's the basic criteria, but they can take others exams that are listed, the exam AAP on the work of its Special subjects and special B subjects usually through an IB school system, other certification exams that Students can take to fulfill the another language requirement. Also They don't necessarily have to go through our world language program. Hey, do the students know? Upon entering the program we have done a better job for communicate that. So in

094the places school staff, we have received last year reports and posters for every room, in every office of counselor, the counseling office in They are generally published by everyone sides. Regarding communicating the requirements, we've done a better job to communicate that to the students. Students of languages ​​worldwide, They take pride in communicating That's it, and there's been a big change. in the language department world championships, ensuring that the students go through the sequence of 4 years, whether at 4 years old or that Go to class A and pass the exam to reach the equivalent of 4 years of competition. And the parents are involved in this process as well. Absolutely. Yes, they are. Thank you for answering all my questions. questions. A great presentation. Thank you, Kirk Kitchfield. Lady Mr. President, thank you very much.

095Question, how? But I think that's it. We talked quite a bit about the students who They are citizens global. I spent quite a bit of time in Europe and the countries in Europe therefore require minus two languages. This one has four languages. I I know that when I spoke to people it was a requirement of at least two languages foreigners who must be able to speak. We struggle with knowing the early cognitive benefits. of education bilingual. I love the work that We do with dual investment, but what is the requirement that they have to Learning one or all is elective for to be in global languages because I know that we have the the designation of bilingual for the students, but we always try to to encourage that, but there are other districts or There

096is a reason why we do not require that whether they are skills in another language. We will look at the graduation requirements and aligning it more with the requirements of the university preparation classes and addresses that component. The requirements Graduation requirements now require language world and fine arts or CTE. It's a It's a requirement, but it's something we're looking for. address in the future to ensure that be ready for university students and their careers if it is their option. He says that the schools have changed in that way regarding the practice enrolling students in world language in ninth grade starting with this, to get ourselves ready for that path. If they haven't registered, Many sign up for the second intermediate, if they haven't started the practice is to register them in a world language in

097ninth grade And again, the extended hours, eight periods allows it to start in the ninth grade. Well, thank you. Any others? ask? Well, thank you very much. Thank you for your presentation, colleagues. that we have the chap. Would you like to take a short break? 5 10 minutes. Okay, we'll have a short recess, a brief recess until 751. [Music] Well, this is The meeting opens at 8:06 a.m. open. We will continue with our topics for debate. We are on 12.3. Review of proposal ELCAP 2526, local control and accounting and plan of accounting and liability. Mister Acevedo, thank you. I'm going to pass it on to him Mr. Carter, who is going to give us the updates LPAC. Thank you. Tonight they I will provide some information fundamental about ELCAP and the process in which we

098have committed ourselves to this year review and compile contributions for Possible revisions. Before reviewing the document itself and support him with knowing I'll show you the ELCAP requirements. how the state format has planned. Annually the State updates instructions, the ALCAP requirements. This year is not different. There have been changes that continue incremental with responsibility and compliance in the ALCAP payroll for this year. This ELCAP is the plan of the Institute for student improvement, document guidance when developing their plans schoolchildren. According to the California Board, These are tools of this responsibility. in the format that was signed in law 2013, although only LCFS funds should be include in the plan aligned with the expenses, we include most of the sources of funding to provide the community the best image of how it the funds are designated.

099The caption should include goals, actions, and related expenses. New this year are proposed expenses to recover funds and financing block allocation must be aligned with the eight priorities state states that are on this slide. They are also developed for to be implemented within 3 years. This This is the last year of the plan. 3 years old. This year we have met with educational partners to identify priorities based on their contributions. This is in compliance with the AOCA timelines, meeting with all the groups involved and requesting contributions. We met on May 15th to review ELCAP and the final contribution of these groups. After tonight, the public will have the opportunity to present, uh, by written or oral on June 12 and the version This will be the final version brought for approval. June 18th. Part One

100gives a plan summary that describes the demographic information of our district. We currently have approximately There are 96,000 students in this 77 schools. That means students or learners of English are from students in foster homes or low income. These are accounts non-duplicates that have that same criterion. This data was collected in In October, 18% qualified for This special education and 16% learning English. This shows a high level of Alcap showing that there are four goals, 27 actions. Each goal supports one or more of the priorities of State. When reviewing the reviews based in contributions from partners, it is important to base ourselves on the goals as a district. Every group of individuals It has contributions and ideas based on its experiences that may vary largely among groups and individuals. We have a similar lens, some

101of them we to improve and and the developments aligned with the visions, missions and fundamental values. The decisions what we do as a district should emphasize equity, achievement and community. The vision current events remind us that district eh produces competitive students and global in order to be able to compete in a year, in a diverse world. At the beginning of this year, the superintendent and the board They established these goals that in connection when reviewing the goals is important for us to reflect on what has been accomplished, or what It is in progress. This summer, eh Flexible seating options will be introduced for students throughout district, Research and services socio-emotional They will continue with calming training and other training for teams of kindergarten and early childhood transition. Uh, while the instructions are aligned with the

102overall plans, eh There are also areas that need to be focused on. in certain areas. Uh, work fundamental also He did this to ensure that all sites secondary schools offer credit courses for university next year, Mayfer starting in a main plan and the flowers too in another program. that helps to win those skills they need for the university. Las Flores works in a path to obtain a law certificate and law and other dual courses in spring in the other center of learning. Another development process that we have and by the contract that Dr. billed for the district. We have increased the opportunity to access workshops for parents, programs of transport and has been added to the board and to our live stream. Staff works on a plan to meet the vacancies at that level were

103not implemented certain programs, but they were contracted uh directors to provide support to the high school students secondary. Uh, also in schools secondary schools we are considering a process of relocation to provide alternatives in student registrations in order to accelerate learning. There is two programs aligned to certain LPEAC and SPEAC domains. Uh, is there pilot in some schools for determine the effectiveness of those programs? The advisory groups also created a draft of a gr someone who is Beltor liked the comments provided for the overall plan. While we review the control plan I'm going to share with you the priorities that were identified by the groups advisors individually and in general. While the financing is not infinity, we have if we increase one We have to reduce one part and another part. Yes, we asked the

104groups to prioritize actions in the plan control. They're going to see the priorities that have different experiences that form their perspective and comments provided, not all the contributions will be incorporated into he LPAC. Looking at the topics they report changes that can be made. Have Keep in mind that not all Changes are going to be made because We are currently in the first year of of the 3-year plan and raise from consistency in which we implement the The plan reflects the effectiveness, the results. This slide turns out the priorities of individual groups. The goal on the right side can be seen For this goal, the priority for each The group are a little different. The most Supported actions include security and custodial maintenance and support of conduct. For this goal, the data from The surveys

105show that there are clear rules and procedures in the classroom and in the community and administration are involved. The data also suggest that there should be an increase in how to manage discipline students and ensure that the facilities are clean. The groups completing behavior management and Student connectivity is low with 59% and 63% of students are agreement that are connected to the school or that they feel belong. This is a summary of the contributions that everyone put in groups in which they should be maintained and potential areas of approach. For goal two, the topics in general was continue, provide academic support and professional development toward this goal that professional development is indeed available supported and if there is a vision and strategies used that teachers use during instruction there should be a increased training for

106technology, its uses and opportunities teachers who observe effective teaching. Also more opportunities for awareness from university at a more advanced age early. This is a summary of the contributions of goal number two of our groups advisors. For goal three, the priorities is the communication of the parents. Summary of contributions It's on the right side of the slide, the control plan survey. There is a agreement that the parents feel Welcome to participate and ask any questions. They answer your questions in one go time. People get information from the online site in Instagram that Facebook. I'm going to give our team to download the control plan. I'm going to review it to give you an idea of what has been updated in the template of the accountability plan of local control. If you have any questions In

107the future they will be able to reference them. I'm going to start on page one and I'll let you know which page I'm on and Which paragraph am I on? And if they want Let me know when it stops. Since he We published this accountability plan accounts, we were able to get a document updated that they have in front of you who have the crazy ideas locals for each goal for the year that He's coming. Those are preliminary numbers. Sites and departments are being finalized their budgets for next year. On page one, the reviews are They did to update the demographics in general information of the plan. On page 3, this continues to provide information about our core values ​​and vision and mission. The paragraphs on page 3 and Four describe the components important of

108the EL elcap and each goal. On the page Four, in paragraph 3, the priority The air routes for 2025-2026 have been named. Those priorities were informed by the highlighted priorities underlined that we saw in the slides previous ones. In the middle of the page four also It includes performance descriptions annual. See the descriptions for the year 2024 and 2023. The board for 2023 It's a 3-year plan. We need to maintain performance description for the 2023 board because the included results is the basis for create the 3-year plan and the actions and The figures are connected to those results and they're going to remain for the duration of the plan. In comparison of In 2023 there were fewer goals in the 2024 with the suspension groups and indicators. None. Ah, school got a red, but they

109had more groups of students who took out red in that area. On the page five, this page includes the description of the proposed plan for recover from learning of the grants. An evaluation was carried out cape to identify needs for the school year 2526. The results were analyzed in ALS, mathematics and chronic absence. If the schools identified as high need, they were improving. Yeah The schools were improving, they're not going to be focused on receiving input. None of the schools met the requirements, but five schools were identified in the language art of English, four math classes, and two by faults. Like the district, apprentices of long-term English and students of long-term disability were students who need more support. This paragraph refers to the goals and the actions that were modified to provide support to these

110schools and these groups of students. In the in at the bottom of the page you can see the technical support reflections. This Description continues in the next page. Ah, it mentions annually based on the school blackboard. The district and the schools are identified by more support by district or state. We were identified by attendance differentiated by certain groups and in the achievement axe to be ready for university and suspension rate. Although They improved on the board in different ways groups students, there were students identified in those areas. A summary the current focus on the future is included in this section in the area of ALS, training and development professional. It was positioned in fast forward. administrators participated in the Science of Reading Training in Le and TK Third-year students will receive training next year. Furthermore,

111more training will be provided in the materials principals educated in the language of Spanish art for bilingual immersion and English development for all. Mathematics intervention contains to be used. However, an analysis of the effectiveness of the tools in the secondary school and in the upper grades of primary, the Genmth platform that It uses Compton and is aligned with the difficulty of the state exam, has started with some primary school sites and We'll continue to see if the The platform is efficient, and if the We should expand it in the area of suspension, training for prejudices. you implicit was provided. Furthermore, development professional for the staff so that They understand and support our Ah, children of need will be provided for the year. As As I mentioned previously, there have been and will be continue a

112focus on increasing the registration, the double registration so that be prepared for awareness of career and university. In addition, it will there needs to be more training for our advisors to implement a plan 4 years old for the first of preparatory. For our options of careers will be increased the year that He's coming. Schools are annually identified for help. Three schools They left the assistance program compared from last year and two schools They remained. These schools have collaborated with their school communities to identify and review the actions in areas of need and have done those changes to their school plans. In the Page seven describes how the Educational partners were involved to contribute to the plan and this indicates how the contribution influences the plan. As we reviewed the goals and the actions, I'm going

113to underline them, that is referenced in this page. Starting on page nine, This is goal one and the format Delcapón from the finish line and then the Numbers are named after they go to be used to determine if it was efficient. It is important to keep in while the figures in this plan They were established last year when They developed the 3-year plan. He year one results include data from last year because it is the most information recent available for certain figures. For example, test scores statewide was in the spring previous because we just finished the this year's tests, although we reviewed the the cap annually to monitor the progress towards meeting our goals, the actions of the plan should to be implemented by the 3 years before to change, to make a significant change.

114It takes time to see results with consistent implementation. this year in We added this to the right column column that says the difference of the point reference. What you see here is the difference between the reference point and the first year. In general, for the goal one, approximately 62% of the figures remained the same or improved compared to the point of reference. after the figures that are on page 13 and I'm not going to review most of These are these metrics, these indicators because you have already seen that document, there isn't much updating of This review is based on the measurements of the year. In the page 13, this section describes, this is the analysis, analysis of the goal, they are going to see after each goal we have and It is divided into four

115parts to see if there are differences or comparisons in actions and explain the differences and the budget in and the expenses, the effectiveness of the actions and the changes we're going to make from here on forward. They'll see the analysis later decade goal. Starting on page 14, those These are the actions that are named for goal number one. There are five columns for each action, the number of the action, a brief description, the proposed financing and if it is identified how is increasing services for the non-duplicate students. They're going to see that pattern throughout the document. I'm not going I'll review the document, but I'm going to review any action you have some review. In action Two, this has been modified in priority reference schools focused on instructional support and high-impact tutoring on sites, although

116staff are trying to hire the assistants, review the registrations and hiring the universities and high schools for to make them, as it was difficult to hire these positions. We are looking for to impact in order to use those funds action learning recovery 5co will continue to increase the security and custodial efforts and It was checked for the fluency of work orders and projects. We are working with Black Knight, who will work with the sites to have a security plan comprehensive. We are looking for other resources and services we talked about a little bit of regard. at the bottom of the page, although action 8 was not modified, is a priority and professional development will be continued with a focus on discipline in places and focus on improving the climate and culture in the district. page

11716, where goal 2 begin. Approximately 56% of the Metrics are maintained and improved in the goal two and as we pass through those those metrics and turn to page 21. This is where the analysis, the action The analysis begins for goal two. Page 23. Starting to see the actions and the These updates are highlighted. Looking action three. This was updated for support expansion of mathematics and intervention of English students in schools. In Washington and Mefer They had new programs from 15 to 12 degree for English students with new practices. Ah. English language proficiency test. We have received good information expanding the pilot to three sites identified. Three sites started a mathematics program, platform aligned with the rigor of the state exam and We had positive information about the student results. There It was also going

118to expand depending on the each school's needs. Action CCO on page 23. Uh, this updates if referenced Let's see, look for opportunities there expanded in mathematics for real-world experiences for students in the After program School. Page 24. Action Six was updated to include professional development to support the next year for English students and with disabilities in implantation to selected strategies. focus on the fourth grade professional development I will also develop to 8 next year professional in this the structures of mathematics to improve the materials for teaching mathematics in professional development, increasing information artificial intelligence this year that He comes to develop policies for students and young people and it's going to odd such program. In action seven, expansion of courses of double registration at AVIT, this increasing basic content for internships, supporting students to select

119your courses, implementation and guidelines towards the university, identifying its interests, identifying options of career and university. It is proposed that a counselor with a special job This eh of work efforts in this area for the year that He's coming. Page 25. Action 9. was updated supporting the payment for AP exams and courses PS PSTA and STA preparation for eh engineering, science and mathematics that are currently occurring in isolated programs, increasing resources for sites to work on integration of these activities. Although action 10 is not He reviewed it, and this action remains focused. for next year. The coordinator of double immersion services and Multilingualism will support these programs in IOC and Mayf Metal. This year administrators and teachers they were able uh be present at presentations receive training in development English language in a special meeting

120which focuses on the sixth transition grade to middle school and were able observe a double immersion program as part of their study path and in special education at Citus College working for increase more opportunities to students in dual registration. Next year We are going to work on practices collaborative and improve the program articulations. The page 26, this is where we start the goal three. Well, only 78% of the metrics They show improvements in this goal, although not It is included in the plan. Last year We established the PIO position determining engagement metrics. We are monitoring these metrics in Instagram and Chromebrook and it's going to add the plan and drive during the year and the section will be included annual update in ELCAP. ha This has increased the number of followers in Instagram and 11,000

121shares on Facebook and 22,790 90 this on Instagram. 97% are from Instagram, they are organic, 9% come from This ad and 80% are organic in Facebook and 19% are from ads. A channel YouTube was created with 335 hours of content, with over 4600 views and more of 180,000 impressions. They clicked on our content. There are two in the channel with 586 views. This goal has commitment to parents and to support that the educational resources that the sites provide through factory and development projects Literacy will continue and registration and enrollment efforts will continue. Although they are not updates to the action, support has been given to dual investment registrations adding a plan, a new class of kindergarten transition, three classes for transition from kindergarten next year also to support the child whole. We're going to investigate

122the expansion of community schools in our district, page 30. Goal four starts on page 4. Description, explanation of the goal. He The only change to this description was to remove it. the flowers Home Independent Academy, which They no longer qualify for funding. The metric in this goal has 67% of the metrics meeting or maintaining or improving. The shares in This goal remains the same to support continuity and implementation of these services. Page 34. This is the beginning of the services increased and improved. shares designated to provide non-duplicated services, changes in that section, identify metrics, additional information needs in the third column related to the effectiveness. Services continue to be monitored in the 3 years of the plan that we have. Page 36. Finally, identifies additional funds that We received thanks to our students. non-duplicates and

123of high number. Reflects additional training and personnel of behavior. This session modified to update the percentages in school sites. Let's go back to the final slide. I'll let you know what the times are. approved for timeline in Nut. This slide identifies the line of some time after tonight. Well, this timeline shows you that in principle June HCAP will be published for the public to give written comment if That's what they want. The updated ACAP will be published for public hearing June 12 to give public comments and finalize CAP exposed to the board for Approval June 18. The county has until August 15 to approve our cap, but they can decide to order clarifications, explanation in any part of LCAP and if they do it, you'll see. the time limit we have and the and the

124The deadline for approval is October 25. That concludes this presentation for updates and reviews to Elcamp. Mrs. Carter, before opening my Colleagues, I need some clarification. Have a question. In the percentages that We maintain or improve on each goal, I have three, I think I'll make one better. or we maintained 62%, goal 2 56%, goal 4 65%. Can you tell me the goal percentage? that we maintained or We improved. Yes, I think it was about 78%. Yes, give me one second. Goal 4 67. Goal 3 78. Uh, I had, I'm right. 62 56 in the others two. 56th goal 2. Yes. Well, colleagues, questions. Okay, I'll start. The first question is, goal three. I know we've done well in This, in this goal 78 some changes. One comment is that it definitely We want input

125from parents before make big changes. I suggest, obviously with the changes that we do, we recently did, we must talk to your parents beforehand and be more proactive. I had a question, I know we talked from transition to kindergarten, Best program to the third grade in Washington, some debate about that and where we are in that plan or that program. Yes, we currently have plans. to have an alternative program to a best. We try to keep it in, eh This LNG programming, but so We want to launch next year. Will it be in Washington? Yes, like that. is. We have a Best 46 program, so We'll do the first one from one to three or from kindergarten through third grade. Now we try to focus on the youngest students. That's where we have more difficulty;

126we want to be proactive avoiding identification of special education. We want a Gened program for students of kindergarten tradition since in starting from so. One thing I realize in These goals are one thing we want to improve the environment and culture of our districts. Tell us, why We eliminated the deans of culture and environment and surroundings in the schools? What was the reasoning? One thing we considered is the new addition of the deputy directors and the jobs and job functions in As for the dean of culture and environment and the work of deputy directors, determining whether They interpose one with the other and They agree. So we thought that if perhaps the duties they perform the dean of culture and environments, because They focus quite a bit on assistance, disciplinary matters and problems disciplines that

127can be distributed among the deputy directors. Hey, Yes, I like it, I love that. Returning But the deans of culture and These environments are there to improve the culture and the environment. I know that attendance and behavior is part of it, But there is more we can do to use them. Speaking with the AP, there are to talk and collaborate more about having better ideas for them. I'm also going to save something and move on to Kirk Kfield. Thank you chairwoman. One question, when you read the social media, I don't see it in my role in YouTube apparently had another one. They are not added to those metrics still because I need to add them as a one in the draft. They are in the presentation Now, but if I can put it in the

128Next draft and you'll see. But Yes, I can. give. It is not the current draft. So Yes, you have the current draft. that We passed those metrics on to Dagpack, but those metrics They weren't part of Meta 3, so no They could have been added there. But when We are developing this, adding the new metrics For next year we can add to that, I'll talk to Leico about that, but the I will include in the section of updates when monitoring while following forward. So you already have ideas for additional goals. All those metrics that I outlined will be monitored and will be to continue this year and we monitor for in it future. Okay, let's stir things up then. HE They remove some goals because the year past I mentioned starting an account for Instagram,

129right? That shouldn't be a The goal for 3 years is 10 minutes. The The answer was noticed and even joined this conversation today. We're going to to hold because I know I am a no longer a board member, but something that makes sense. Uh, it seems the same He did not enter Elcap. Yes, it's in Elcap, but Updated 15 of 15. Let me clarify to see what I'm looking for asking what I think, if it We hid it and we're going to bring it out like metrics. That's what he's asking me. There it is, it's still there, we haven't removed it. Yeah, It's a goal we achieved very well. easily. It's something they're going to remove. And we're going to set a new goal. We're not necessarily going to remove it. because it's a 3-year

130plan. There it is We left. But what if we have another metric? that we want to monitor, that's a amount that you can give us or the advisors they can This presentation, or but that will remain because it must stay in the 3-step plan years, but if there are metrics that we must We want to see what point the board will take. Well, these are the modifications that we're going to have. It's going to happen in the next meeting. If this is the meeting where you give us contributions and the final draft comes out earlier of June, open to the public for comment private. Other question, I realize that this decreased the pathway from 7 and a half to 13.3. We know an idea because this is information This crfina is that information that we

131follow dragging is on page 20. [Music] We started with 17.4 who completed the pathway. Now we have 13.3. I don't have a definitive answer. But I know we definitely have less students, then that would change. No There's a big difference, but it's one of the things we are seeing when we see at the rate of Graduation is if they completed the CTA. I know many of us get them from C apps, the programming in Cal Apps would affect that goal, that The metric wouldn't change because it's a course, It is in the pathway that they are completing. A further. I'm curious because I think it has created for English learners, like the we reclassified, they have increased. Then English proficiency has decreased. It's one thing, one statistics that when reclassification will have that effect. Yeah.

132Basically, if reclassification is approved, then yes. It increased, and when they are reclassifying a student for that high level, now They will be outside the environment of the evidence. English proficiency can to reduce one thing to think about with the clarification. We made an effort in that. We are all stabilizing how things are You'll see from now on because It's high right now. Thank you. I'm going to ask some questions because I don't see many. I have a question in the class limitation compound. I think it's the same one Same thing we said last year, although we didn't have combo classes. Let's go have combo classes to clarify. We are trying to limit them as much as possible. possible. Absolutely. Do you know How many did we have this year? I think it was I

133think it was zero. That's the goal for next year. But another question I had was about tutors. We focused on five sites for tutors. Prioritizing instructional support. We still want have tutoring at all campuses hide. When we are in Washington We're talking about this. Whenever I I'm saying that I'll do tutoring and Let the teachers do that and we're in. speaking at the conference that this is so important and I don't understand that the Teachers understand that we are trying to promote it. Can you give us some ideas on what This is what we're going to do for tutoring. This year? Specifically, we will continue to paper-based tutoring has increased with that. We will continue to publish it and to help the teachers, to know the benefits. Yes, we know there are some teachers who

134do access and use it In their classes, they use it for the that they look at the documents and give them comments before they return it and they use it for the challenges in mathematics and reading. continue with that and increase the use of that. What we are seeing is that we have high-dose tutoring for the academy of summer. We're piloting there, we have We are bringing the staff together and the We are providing training in the programs that they will be using in the summer academy. I think it's the piece that we were missing in the previously escape the tutors working in a program, in a content, in one thing that the teacher needs. What we are seeing is that We are trying to connect with Compten also to see if we can treat

135the high-impact tutorial of the day school and after school. It's a type of intervention. as in intervention has a person trained in the classroom that can support them with them. I would love the next time we send this to the tutors or anything else, If you could please copy the table directive, I want to see what we are saying because I don't understand why not more of them us They are accepting the opportunity. talk later I know about it, but I don't understand why not. are using. Wanna see how much the tutoring fee is after the school, who enrolled for the and what are we communicating with the teachers who don't They understand why they should. do. I can tell you that last time that we discussed at the meeting directive We pushed for the

136courses after the school that can intervene Or it could be a passion project, and yes There was an increase, more Teachers adopted him. I'm sorry, he would have updated. Yes, there were more teachers who participated and took advantage of it. Ah, I hope so help. I'm going to give it to the vice president Heron. Thank you, Madam President. My The question is from page 14, number action number eight, supports and positive interventions of conduct. Most teachers are implementing this during their day school. What kind of support does it have? for students? That this doesn't work for them. That What are we doing for these teachers? Are we helping them? Are we giving different strategies? Is there a different program? What are we thinking? I'm going to answer you. in PBIS If all the schools are

137there, it's a process, it's not a program like you understands completely. And what we are seeing is trying to be more specific with the policies What disciplines are they and what are those? levels. We've had more training this year, but we're seeing if we're going to update that training so that implement different practices and policies conduct. And everyone is aligned. That's exactly what We are planning to grow. We have We've worked a lot with PVIS, we want reach the next level in aligning the procedures and expectations. So, are they going to give them something new that have not had previously or is Just a refresher course? EITHER because I have taken GDP since I I was on the beach there and they still are [Music] doing. I'm asking what it is that's going to change

138now. What we're looking at is the possibility to see in Safe and Civil Schools, which is a an organization that is very well recognized and very structured, it will support us in helping school sites to that they reach those commitments, which is what what they are doing in their schools schoolchildren, if it's the same, the same interventions, the same rules, the same expectations in the same areas And those are things we're looking at in the training sessions PBIS. Our idea is that this organization is going to help to have a concrete system for our schools from now on. That's what we're seeing for the year that It comes and the following years. And how part of that safe and civil, you are going to request that Look at what they're doing or what the process

139for students, because It only works for 75% of people. students. What are we doing to the other 25% for those who are throwing objects to the teachers? This is who I am right now. What is What do we do for that? I'll leave it to You, but I think that's what we're going to do to help speak at level three, but if We don't have level two, we don't have a contract current positive conduct that we are By trying consistently, we will have the difficulty with the level three. Would you like to add anything? Yes, we are looking for additional support by the district. The program I mentioned is exactly the approach we want have. We want to focus on the students who exhibit those behaviors very Ah, disruptive. That will help us. In addition,

140there will be staff who will help. all schools, not just where We have that program to deal with those more severe and elevated behaviors and They'll see it later. The program of He's talking about TKK, the show Best. We're not calling it the best because We are focusing on being proactive, the preventative. You'll see, we're at planning and planning to present it the next year. Okay, there will be more information. I'm going to have questions about follow-up. Snap good. Come on I'm thinking in my mind that we're going to to have new people who are part of this team that will travel. No, I'm just going to suggest that we are focusing on the most students small, but they are also implementing. For the students ah The larger we are focused on the primary, but

141we also have to talk about the older students. Have additional staff that we are here for specialized support. What we are looking not only at the behaviors, but also We are looking at mental health. We will be working with the capacity grant to implement that. That's going to come out of those same funds. Yes, that's correct. Thank you. [Music] Before I give it to the secretary Kurtfield, I'm so excited. in The safe and civil team is being built procedure and focuses on the focus of the main students and It has the highest level, which is 5%. But we have a group at my school and We have eight of us and we have administrators, security personnel, secretaries, it's a combination of different employees and they do the procedures and protocols and They maintain. We are

142focusing on the year which is coming for the discipline of how the Teachers are writing and sending to The students give them guidelines. I'll do it I enjoy it a lot, I've been doing it for a long time. time. I'm so excited that They are exploring. It's a good program. Secretary Chck Feld. I think last year we were talking about hiring our own assistants and the difficulty in this hire them. I realized that in the Summary of contributions towards the goal one, we must provide, modify support because we have difficulty in hire assistants. That means that we're not going to talk about that route hire our own helpers. What do we have to do to fix that problem? Thanks for that. That section of the presentation was stakeholder input. It what they were saying, they

143were giving suggestions for modifications. We are investigating hire our own helpers. They were giving us suggestions like that. give priority. Who receives the assistants? TKK, an assistant per class hall, but first and second, only three and the divide between the first and second degrees. That was certain contributions that They gave. What we are planning to do, we are planning or anticipating hiring our own instructional assistants and in the staff division. Dr. Omes is working hard or is it also working on the other part of those comments, consistency, the consistency, ensuring that a process of substitutes are also being updated Job descriptions are communicating with universities, with the high schools, is investigating another platform for posting job openings. in something that the others classifications can access more than adjoin. Those are certain things, that's for sure.

144It definitely helps, and I know there was one. The discussion about the payment of the assistants is Less competitive, more difficult Obtaining them is something that also We are investigating and comparing. I can leave it to her Dr. Smith, but I think it's something that We're investigating, but we need to see. the classification and change and what would it have that being. I know it's a process I continued, that's all I wanted. We've talked so much and we've I have faced many obstacles and I am grateful that Dr. Omos, the work that is doing. I want to make sure that it happens, because people are afraid that we're going to hire We are going to lose more of our assistants. People are afraid of him. things, but I wanted to make sure that still let's

145be on the same path hire them at home. I had the same question in the instructional supports. I think it's the action number two. It was a little bit confused by how it's written that they go to give to support. We're going to give more to support in the five schools. We were talking about putting you all in the schools. That's what it was talking. How does it go, how is it going to work? That's a structural thing. from Elcap. We're looking into it for everyone. the schools. Based on the data, We are required to focus on priority schools. That's what he wants say. Is there a thought process? of part-time and full-time assistants complete? Yes, that's something we're looking into. Now, Mrs. Carter did a good job. I work giving a summary of many

146things what do we do to ensure we have our own helpers instead of agencies. We don't want to expand our service. With agencies, we want to have our own own people with our students. We believe that's best for the district and also for students. It takes time to get to That point, but to answer it is something that we are looking at with Mrs. Ooa, our CEO of classified personnel with René, looking also thinking about how we can take the number of hours that they can work the assistants and have Flexibility during the week, perhaps. There are people who may be interested in work longer hours, but only 3 days a week this week or we're seeing different settings to see what to do for expand the number of applicants interested for the 3 and

147a half hours without benefits. We're seeing everything. Thanks Kchfield. Okay, now in LCA the titles They are standardized. Speaking the five in the goal two perhaps says security and operational operations and with the positions and security and of Maintenance always goes together. Yes, in this at point we have an increase from the last Chapter 2 m000ones in that action and it has been placed together with security, this, technology, maintenance of facilities, everything seems to be in a It is placed in one location. So the budget that I would like like this Perhaps I could be clearer, this is Normal, it's a standard, it's an action general. So when it developed We had this maintenance and security same position, in the same category. In 3 years, if we continue into the future, we can separate them

148and have separate shares for those two. Well, I think that would have in that sense or can it be considered as such once in that part of the maintenance of facilities. We started as a concierge Worker Dude, it seems his name is the program as a technological Argus. I'm going to pass this on to him to what we answer. Working du is the one we use in the university. It seems he has another one name, but we implemented that year past. We started using that system for all this tracking maintenance, also looking for what We can expand that system to other areas. or other systems. Okay. Thank you, colleagues. Any other questions? Vice President Garza, page 12, number 17, This, chronic absences and Where we are, what resources we are implementing in this area. This

149It is an area that has continued improving, and that's a good thing, and it's the the reality that our number is so Stop, but that's not good. The School sites have done a effort making calls additional, holding meetings for assistance of the office, the assistance offices. There is a couple of things that work on the process about how to address the issue. are looking to the future, wanting to ensure that there is a meeting at the school site before the start process begins as a preventative measure to connect with the families, helping him with resources before to put in the absence phase chronicles and also working with the young people in foster homes. There have been training this year and later during the year for Leico. We include identification, this individuals for support and this

150office The assistance department will work on that more. early in the year for this to expand to see who they are going to include in the development professional, no more administrators or advisors, but it can also include CSW because they are the first first uh with contact uh with the parents and office workers. This is going to to talk about the topic of AAPs. Now no We have, uh, the people of culture and environment, will be administration, the secondary school students who have been appointed to do it. The deputy director attached the director. The teachers are part of the process too, right? Are first ones who have that first contact with the parents. Well, I'll leave it to him. Mrs. Uyoa, but the teachers must be part of the intervention process and support. Do you

151want to add anything? So yes, they are part of the process in Regarding communication, and I know that special education teacher us we also communicate regularly for also have meetings with teachers, They are part of communication, but much We worked on it with advisors administrators of local schools. Well, it's also done for education. general, students of that sector. Okay. So, our what I'm looking for, is ensuring that there is a well-defined process for that teachers use him as a role model. This I do first, this I do, this I'll do it later. Already. This any type of follow-up that has been done, if they are writing it down somewhere so that it show that these teachers have done their job diligent, write about the contacts that have had with parents. This is something in which

152which we are still working on as well They don't have it, they are developing it. We are developing a consistency in how we make those communications and We make contacts. Graciasfield. Thank you, ma'am. president. Okay, we're talking of the metrics of security, I realize that students High school students feel safe at school. It went from 50.7 to 75 to 46. What a shame, because we tried to We have implemented things. Very good things, but that's how it is feel. It's an important metric. But Besides that, I think that when we want consider target metric incidents at the schools, we received daily memorandum and it seems that This is where there is an oscillation of events that They occur in the schools, but in the year I want to see if the things we are Implementing

153them has a positive effect. It's difficult to know just by knowing how it is students feel. It is important That's it, but it has to be related somehow. aim. Perhaps how many times have we had to close the school altogether or incidents with the weapons, many metrics we can use so that we may find one, a metric which is a problem consistent to see yes, to be able to see if the investments that We've done this, the numbers are going down. I want to see something in security that have a more objective point of view. Yes, maybe quarterly updates on the discipline. If they are noting them down, We're working on that. Maybe if the The board may receive quarterly or each semester, what is it that they fail to the students and what we

154do consequences of interventions that we do. Any information on discipline? That would be great, Mr. President. It's something that I can is appropriate in LCAP maybe or more or Something, huh? Or where should that be? That's it. that data. I think outside of the one of Elcapa, that data. We can add References in ELCAP, but he's talking you in more detail, going deeper the tip, sa, wanting to know type of suspension and that kind of thing. It's something that you might want, uh, will want a update in its update quarterly or semi-annually, something that also in school sites there must be happening. Um, can we do something like board? We've talked annual updates on incidents on school grounds because it is It's difficult to keep track and see for Where do we go with that

155to help? It's something that if we do it quarterly or annually we can receive that data. I would love to see because I spoke with Mrs. Acevedo, We have gang work, grip, These are the data we need in order to be able to to implement these things, being proactive, holding assemblies, mentors in places where we need it, but not We know what we need. That would be great! do it at least quarterly, if you are here Okay, what do you think? I'm OK. That would be very important information to make decisions. Uh, at this point we are not He's inventing solutions, but not we know which ones will help to see one carry a clue. Yes, it's something. that can be created and with which one can collaborate in a security meeting. What are the

156best sources of information and What data can we obtain? But, Which are the most important ones in Which ones should we focus on? That would be good that the committee review which secure metric That would be good for the next meeting security. Armstrong. Yes, thanks. Presented by Stuart. I want to go back to the absences, although you have made improvements, It remains high. I have spoken with his soul of that. some kind, some way of seeing Maybe there is one correlation between attendance and how There is their performance in school in their subjects, because sometimes in the mental health piece if there is a young person who is struggling quite a bit causing chronic absences Also, as you say, we are seeing improvements, but it's not a number. large, finding a correlation in with those

157particular students, how is their performance and what interventions that we can possibly provide them. But, We agree with the students on this Their position, they're going to feel that we're not doing enough to help them. It's not something that encourages them to go to the school if they are failing or failing, looking for reasons why which causes their absence. You know I am an early intervention teacher. And my students are absent because are sick or may have appointments in different therapies, but we have a student who is not performing their He's failing everything at work. Ah, I wouldn't want to come to school Nor do I feel like, what's the point, uh, just in case and I'm failing. Anyway, I already had enough questions. They've already been answered, but I didn't want to hear anything

158else. Share that so my colleagues know What am I about? thinking. Colleagues, any questions? further? One thing that really cheers me up As ILC expands, TEK will grow. Brilliant. One more thing I was going to say in Regarding committees, we have seen... intelligence artificial 21st century, a committee this artificial intelligence. I want to start. We've thought about that, I don't want this pressure them, but I want to form a committee, if possible, from the board, one a committee looking at that technology artificial intelligence. I can tell you And where are we with that? We had a team, we had a team that She went to a conference and we're looking for her. that team I'll return after adjusting the timings. Today The end of the year was difficult for us, but We are collaborating with

159Lakov to bring training and development professional. Summer Institute Institute, before August 13 and 14. So we're looking to bring professional development in that area. High school principal is putting together a team for next year for work on the policies and orientation. The year is coming next. Now they're going to create a committee board members can be in that committee. I want two members of the board. Future, something near I would like board members in some committee of artificial intelligence, we form the ours or we accompany this us We're incorporating yours. As a committee It does not necessarily have a date. determination, it is a committee that permanent subject to the Brown Act. Two Board members may serve in this committee. It would be something perpetual dealing with the issue until the new technology emerges and

160a new committee is formed has to create. We would like to create that committee. Alright. He says that They have a plan for one committee, like any committee, if the board wants to create or not. The personal management creates the committee. Yeah I mean, I want to create a committee, I don't want to take over his, take charge of his, but to collaborate, but not We need two camítes. That's what I'm saying. what I am asking. Yes, they can be combined. Both, having the members of the board. I can do that now. It's a standing committee for technology intelligence artificial. I would like to be part of this committee. The president appoints the members. Well, I would like to, I am leaving I know, and I would also say that I don't know. I'm watching

161quite a lot of Frank's stuff. on LinkedIn and is very up-to-date with that intelligence artificial. He already offered his services in he committee and some others on the committee. I I mean that Yeah. I wouldn't nominate Brand. if I could nominate something, but let's see in their place right now. I need a motion. Motion and approval. Yes, I would like to do one motion to form a perpetual committee of intelligence artificial and technological. Seconded. Vote. Yes, Mr. Cintron. Yes sir Armstrong. Yes, Mr. KF. Yes, ma'am Heron. Yes, Mrs. Stuart. Yes, member student. Yes. And if not all of you, then no. They oppose it, I would like to put bread in the committee and I would like to be on this committee. If that's okay with you. Yes, yes, I'm fine. Need vote for that.

162Well, me, Brady, me. So, any further questions about ELCAP, what about you? This, companions. Okay, let's get down to business. major, major prince, one point 13.1 One, This conflict of interest, legal representation, district and Caps in the Comments or questions, sir Crega, I just want to assure you that I am informing the board that this is a Permission to provide legal service to Caps also. If ever, at some point, a conflict of interest, I will represent the district and Cap would have to look for their own legal advisor. There are certain situations where I am in conflict represent either of them parts and have to find another legal representation for representation. The most important part any permit is a informed consent. There is a letter attached that outlines all the professions of the permit and

163the signature of the board constitutes consent. Comments, questions. Vice President Gorsa, can you give me a example when neither the board of directors nor the board The board or the CAPS board could use your services? If I were to obtain confidential information of CAPS and the two are in conflict over some incident that arose, that ended in litigation because I have that information of Caps. I couldn't use that. I would have a conflict of not represent the district because I have that type of information. The two would be obliged to obtain advice. Also, can you give me an example of how we could wear? Ah, serving Cal Apps and Bellflower. Cal Apps has the same as the board of directors, they have rules, contract issues that They arise, they can call me so that it

164helps them rehearse the contracts, create the contracts, the policies, as the city would have ordinances and resolutions. Generally The legal contribution is well advised in those situations. Then I told them It would help in that quality, it wouldn't be there taking no litigation matters. Thank you. Another question. We need to increase your payment. I appreciate that ask. Okay, Secretary, I appreciate what you are doing That's because K apps have an ah lower budget, we don't have a A regular lawyer, that's very beneficial for our partners at C Apps and it Thank you. And to clarify, any An agreement with Calp would be an agreement separated between my firm and them. No It would not be in any way. would prevent either would be linked to the contract of district.
