023was a voice at the end so this is awesome I'm so happy um so now we move on to recognition presentations D3 the annual El cap which stands for local control accountability plan metrics presentation by Dr Martine casus that quicker I can just say next if you want too that's easier [Music] okay can we go back to the intro slide then thank you okay thank you president Weller members of the board members of the community and cabinet thank you for being here um excited and happy to share our progress on our lcap goals from the previous school year from 2324 and before I begin it begs the question why are we doing this now we're halfway through 2425 and it is because the state does not certify our results until December 2024 from the 2324
024school year so the state certifies that these are our results based on our lcap goals and all of the state measures that they collect via the dash board the dashboard was publicly released in early December 2024 gives us time to do this presentation and that's why we present in January about the previous school year so that's why we're doing this now the first portion of this presentation will focus on our lcap goals and in particular um what we consider our lcap goal predictors which are 15 of our major academic predictor goals which we'll get into in a second and then the latter portion of the presentation will focus on the summary of the dashboard results okay next slide please before I get into it just want to publicly acknowledge and thank Dr Alana Lee Ramirez
025uh our director of assessment accountability who writes the elcap she's here attendance tonight and also Alfredo amadar our director of data management who helps us put together all of the data and submits all of our data via ceds and so involved with the authentication verification of our data results as well um quick summary of our elcap goals before we get into it and a reminder of what it is last year our educational partner Committee created a threeyear plan to a three-year goal um to improve in these following areas goal one academic achievement which will take the bulk of what we consider the academic predictor goals things like a through G cast results AP pass rate 9th grade math success Ela success and 9th grade elll reclassification CTE completion those are all in goal one and
026you can think of those as that's our primary job is to educate students right goal one all these different types of academic indicators goal number two how can we improve teaching and learning and Leadership so that learning improves in goal one goal number three what support can we give students and think about resources and access to resources so that they can learn things like you heard earlier from our Valley student Jasmine is participates in calsafe calsafe is funded through the elcap calsafe is hosted at Orange gland High School it is access to daycare for teen parents and so removing that access to daycare would significantly impact students ability to perform well academically and actually graduate high school that is funded through the cap things like one toone laptops are funded in goal three lower class
027sizes access to tutoring we pay for every student's AP exam in goal number three goal number four how can we increase communication um and access to our parents uh things like parent workshops FASA College apps lcap nights elac access to gab for example um so that parents are engaged and they know what's going on at school all all ultimately to improve goal number one and goal number five how can we make our campuses safe and respectful if students don't feel safe they won't attend and if they don't attend they're not going to improve in goal one right so things that we Fund in goal number five are things like cameras school resource officer extra campus security our wellness centers our interventions mtss a variety of different things that's just a brief overview and obviously uh
028the second half of this year you're going to hear a lot about the old cap almost monthly so yeah two to five are all in service of goal number one basically yes M yeah no problem if we can move on to the next slide this is a quick overview of our demographics for the purposes of the LC cap want to draw your attention to our English language Learners our economically disadvantaged students and our foster youth respectively for this year English language learner population is 22.4% of our student population our economically disadvantaged students and for context um what that threshold is is for a family of four is about $57,000 okay so 82.3% of our students are considered econ ically disadvantaged uh and Foster youth point3 So the lcap plan has to Target these three student
029groups however all of the actions and services can impact all other students in our district okay but we have to specifically articulate how it's targeting those three student groups English language learner ell reclassified English proficient is rfap and economically disadvantaged it's also socioeconomically [Music] disadvantaged okay moving on so this is one of the metrics that we consider a predictor and in particular ninth grade is a predictor for a through G completion and graduation in other words all the literature and the research suggests that if students are successful in passing passing English n and or math one or their freshman level mathematics course they are more likely to complete a through G and or graduate our goal was to increase 9th grade students passing Ela by 2% and we met that it actually increased by 3
030.1 so that's wonderful news and you see that there on the left hand side for ELA on the right hand side you see ehsd math our goal was to increase it by the same amount by 2% however it only improved by 1.5% so while the goal was not met it did improve and there's going to be a summary slide of all of these but feel free to ask any questions as we move through AP and AP exam pass rate here you see that our goal was to increase our AP pass rate by 2% and actually our pass rate improved by 4.7% which is wonderful so we met that goal and right next to it is AP course enrollment our goal was to increase the enrollment by 1% it actually decreased by 6% we did a
031little digging into this and uh we found that a focus on meeting graduation requirements and meeting a through G requirements instead of taking an addition AP course was an emphasis when we spoke to APS over counseling which work with our counselors directly so some work to be done there but we're certainly encouraged by our APA exam pass rate uh but still want to improve our course enrollment yeah so so quick clar clarification on that so you're saying that our our a through G pass rate went up right at corre but our our pass rate was it pass rate or enrollment that went down enrollment went down en went down at the at the risk of of dring the enrollment there good I question yes so we we started paying for the AP exams right as
032part of lcap yep and then we saw the increase to the pass rate go up do like do do we have hope that by paying for the the exam more students will enroll in AP courses that's our hope so you see that change from 2122 to 2223 that was associated with paying for the AP exam we went from 7.7 to 10.2 so that increased first year but you look at every previous year from that we were fluctuating from 7 to 8% so even compared to previous years we're still higher this year at 9.6 correct but they go keep it yep okay uh state seal by literacy happy to share here that our goal was to increase it by 2% and we increased it by 4.6 requirements to meet the state seal by literacy is taking
033four years of a war language and passing that with a 3.0 or better as well as getting at least a 3.0 are better in all of your English courses so for example if four years of French you got a 3.0 or above in your French classes but also 3.0 above in all your English classes you would meet the requirement there's a variety of different ways of meeting it other ways we're getting a three or better on any AP exam that's a World Language so AP Spanish for example but also having a three po0 higher in your English classes that's how you get the state sealed by literacy um many other ways but those are sort of like the most popular way students obtain that recognition really excited to share next to it our a through
034G completion uh percentage increased our goal was to increase it by 2% and it actually increased by 4.6% uh this is one of the first metrics to outperform pre-pandemic levels um 198 1819 was 48.2 1920 was 48.6 and we are now at 49.8 which is wonderful good progress It's a variety of things um I would say mainly the work of our teachers and their PLC model uh really trying to align grading practices uh what we have found now more when teachers are focusing on performance rather than compliance that achievement goes up and what I mean by that is did you just turn in all your homework and that's 70% of your grade and 30% assessment right now for the most part it's shifted right there's still some outliers but now we have the opposite like
03570% it's on performance 30% is on routin stuff like turning in your homework versus practice so not all teachers are doing it but that momentum is is increasing there's different names for it standards based standards based grading correct correct hey David can you turn on your mic when you're talking please so with this success this is phenomenal of success why are we not aligning the other teachers to take this approach so the numbers can go right Ed code's very clear the teacher and the teacher only determines the evaluation of learning and they could dictate how they assess that learning as long as it meets the requirements of our board policy which is somewhat vague but very similar to most districts so we in other words we can't force a teacher Thou shalt grade this way
036okay really we can is that because in the my naiveness is that because of collective bargaining it's Ed code so it's not collective bargaining yeah yeah what where in the Ed code or you can get us that yeah I can share that with you I don't remember the exact code but I do remember our board polici 5121 if you want to look at that and I'll send you that link as what I don't know why I remember that but I do that's pretty interesting pretty that's impressive thank you is that that 50 page document that's out there uh Ed code yeah but our own board policy is actually pretty succinct yeah okay gotcha all right so I've got a I got I got a dumb question here so when we're talking about uh percentage growth
037here we're talking about percentage points themselves or we talking about the total growth here right so for example it went up between I talk about the a through G completion rate so okay 2022 to 2023 was 45.2 it went up to 49.8 we're saying that that is a 4.6% growth that's 4.6 percentage points rather than actual growth right yeah I guess the difference is 4.6% it's measured by the number of graduating students that completed the a through G requirements of that particular senior class yeah percentage points so the end could be different but yeah okay thanks the next slide is elll reclassification so this is the percentage of our English Learners that that after they take the lpac assessment which assesses their ability to read write listen and speak the English language at grade level
038proficiency if you will uh increased by 1.1% but our goal was 2% so while we did not meet our goal we still showed Improvement and I'll come back to this when we go over the dashboard because this is going to be important to talk about yeah I was going to ask a bunch of questions so I'll wait till yeah next is CTE enrollment which is one of the our board goals and happy to report here that our goal was to increase our enrollment by 1% actually we exceeded that and it's the uh increased by 3.4% uh so that's wonderful news yeah attached to that you'll see that the com Capstone completion which means um they completed typically two years of a CTE program with some sort of certification our goal is to increase that by
0392% we did not meet that goal but it still increased by 1.4% so almost um progress and Improvement in CTE enrollment and CTE Capstone completion okay so I got a question regarding the CTE Capstone completion when you say that wasn't completed can you kind of give me an example of that yeah so I might be in uh let's let's just Auto let's use CTE Auto for example and I love it right and I loved it in the first year I enrolled it for my senior year let's say I started my junior year in the program and my goal was to be a completer my senior year uh but I didn't pass math 3 my junior year and I want to go to college so that student is met with the decision this is just an
040example there's different scenarios out there but this is an example right so that's a discussion with the family and with the student so the recommendation if you want to apply right away to a four-year College you should take math 3 again your senior year and not be a CTE completer does that make sense or if you're is to just go to Community College and you're really passionate about Auto go ahead and take Oto your senior year and finish the the pathway so is there maybe not an incentive to do it or is it there's just it's circumstantial it's circumstantial really uh but if you look at the trend there uh scheduling wise yeah uh we've done a wonderful job of really creating four-year plans and counseling so that they are completers and we're only getting
041better at it so good I'm glad to hear yeah thank you next here you'll see our graduation rate uh our goal was for it to increase by 1% It decreased by 0.1 uh in the dashboard it's considered no change um and I'll just give you context the state average is 84% and this last graduating class was the last graduation cohort impact impacted by the pandemic uh and since then we've added more credit recovery options such as our pbl credit recovery which we just piloted this year and the board approved at the beginning of this year uh but I'll just say that fouryear adjusted cohort graduation rate this could be students that leave our district like sophomore year and sometimes we can't track them down sometimes they move out of the country but they count for
042our end size our sample size because they're counted as soon as they come their freshman year does that make sense and if we can't find where they are then they count on the on the opposite side there as a Dropout and it impacts our graduation rate so this last class was the last sort of class impacted by the pandemic and we are very optimistic that we're going to do some growth there so what do you mean by find them what kind of proof do you have to have to say for instance we know that this student is no longer in Escondido we know this student is no longer in our district the reason this exists is because there used to be schools and I'm not going to say names or districts or whatever that when
043you found that a student's probably not going to be successful they encouraged the student to disenroll and go elsewhere after their freshman or sophomore year well the state said fine you can do that they're still going to count for your graduation cohort rate like because they started with you as a freshman and what I mean by that is sometimes we found in the pandemic lot of families that are multifam households some of the families moved away during the pandemic and we we just can't find them and we go to neighbor's house do you know we're so and so we don't know we don't know we don't know numbers discon these are unintended consequences for trying to solve another problem and now you've created an additional problem so do we know if there's any attempt at
044the state level to change how that adjusted graduation rate because I feel like we're probably hurt more than we're helped by this not because the students are really dropping out but because there's no way to prove where they went we're not sure but we're choosing to focus on what we can control and so we're just trying to provide more credit recovery options for the kids that are there and that we can't find and so but yeah we're we're not sure Dr casses what I can't tell you that one off the top of my head so I'll have to come back to you on that uh next SL good news here chronic absenteeism rate uh our goal was to decrease chronic absenteeism by uh fraction of a percent .25 and we decreased it by 5.1% which
045is wonderful and I'll attribute that to our mtss team which dras behind me overseas and uh a lot of alignment of attendance protocols and intervention and probably an increase of 30 to 40% of home visits that we've done so great news there yes you're all good um does this include Valley high school as well it does oh yes Valley actually had one of our biggest increases so Valley's actually a really fun school yeah a really fun school yes you went there so of course it would be Dr Vincent you had a question yeah can can we have a presentation on that I really like to know more about that program because it sounds like it's work yeah I'd like to you know learn a little bit more about when programs are working what our success
046are and is that something the board would be interested in I would like to he to definitely hear sure yeah yeah yes good job yeah uh the next slide here you have suspension rate our goal is to decrease it by 1% we decreased it by 1.9% and accompanying that slide right next to his expulsion rate our goal was to decrease it by 05% it only decreased by 03 still improved but we did not make progress but we're okay with that as long as our campuses are safe so the these are the um reductions or this is that 0.008% get expelled so how do how do you to 8% in 2122 got expelled got it and now we're down to 003 correct okay okay uh next slide here this these are the lcap goals that 15
047of them that we consider academic predictor goals in other words if we improve in these we predict that graduation rates should increase and a through G should increase and test score should increase out of the 15 I'll point out that only four did not improve so the ones that are well you can't see it there but it's kind of a salmon color or you could see it on this screen so out of 15 goals only four did not improve and I think as a board and as a district we should be very proud of that whatever four out of 15 is I'm not sure but so so just to interpret this better so say for example line item one increase ninth graders passing la College and Career ready courses by 2% so those are um
048like grades in classrooms that's not a test that they take like cast correct correct so so basically um so ninth graders passing Ela nth graders in math so then to read this the first line increase nth graders passing Ela the passing increased by 3.1% do you have a number for what the current pass rate is of the students so I understand that it increased by 3% but is the pass rate 60% 70% it's in the third slide that I went over I'll back up thank you I just covered that so it's right here so you'll notice here on my left side here you'll see in 2122 75.1% of n9th graders passed English 9 2223 80.6% of nth graders pring l n and then last year 83.7 uh i' just like to mention something I know
049you just said hey you know we're doing great we only didn't make it on four out of the 15 items I said we only did not improve in four out of 15 not improve so some of those we did not meet the goal but we still showed Improvement did not improve excuse me uh but I'm I'm thinking not met on eight out of the 15 goals more than half really not good well I'm glad you brought that up because we actually have an objective measure of that the California dashboard says otherwise okay yeah so here's the California dashboard okay California dashboard measures Us in seven categories we improved them five out of the seven and one we stayed the same and one we did not improve which was elll reclassification which I'll get to Y
050in a second um and some highlights here we improved in ela Casp math Casp High School graduation rate stay the same College and Career Readiness which you can meet it in eight different ways one of them is a through G or passing two or more AP exams or a combination of being a CTE completer and meeting one of the exams in the CP at met or exceeded okay that improved dramatically and eh is was one of only 10 schools in the county out of 44 actually not 42 that received the green rating or better in ela our Ela score was above the state average and above the San dieo County average the result is one of the highest in the county for districts that have an English learner population greater than 15% uh and note
051only one academic area did not receive a positive rating on the dashboard that's elll reclassification which is confusing because our elll reclassification rate actually increased by 1.1% so you might ask yourself why did we get not a positive rating on the dashboard the dashboard is very specific on focusing on student groups and demographic groups and what we did not make progress on is the English classification of our long-term English Learners lels so those are students that were English Learners and have been with us for five or more years so that particular demographic group because they did not improve we got uh a lower rating on the dashboard but five out of the seven categories in the dashboard improved okay and that is a rating from the state of California from CDE um and I have
052more to share real quick just um so just to make sure fully understand on the California dashboard slide item number 1 2 3 4 5 six down our high school Ela score taking all four or four or five high schools on that would that be cons of the 54.78 that number basically um is that a Casp test score or what is that score it's Casp yes okay and so then that means 54.78 per of our students are at grade level met or exceeded standard so they could be above grade level cool met or exceeded um levels okay so then is there one for math on here there is in your insert in the binder you have a two-year summary and I did note here while math achiev and improve much work remains to be done
053in mathematics if you see the pullout insert in your binder you have all kinds of comparisons there okay and I'll go over the mathematics one California ALS students average was 35.4% California unduplicated students was 18.1 San Diego was 40.5 San Diego unduplicated was 20 uhsd was 18.7 so a lot of different ways you can look at it but there's the summary for mathematics so I really appreciate you um bringing that up Dr kasus because when um principal Santos came in from Orange GL I mean I I felt so bad for him that I actually called superintendent Peterson over the break to say that I could to call him and I just said whatever you need over at that school because they're at %. I mean that is heartbreaking and I know he's only been the
054Principal there two years so I mean it's not like he got us here but the thing is is we're all in this this I mean that is catastrophic agreed and so I pre you know I'm we're here to whatever you guys need seriously appreciate that I mean this is this is heartbreaking I agree but I'll also point out that is one out of seven measures and yes I wholeheartedly agree you and I work on that absolutely yes absolutely and the next one here happy to report ehsd is out of differentiated assistance for the second consecutive year uh we are not under federal state differentiate assistance or program Improvement because of the improved achievement of all student demographic groups in other words not one student demographic group was in red or low in two or more
055areas for context previous to last year we had been in it for 18 consecutive years so it's a Monumental achievement um well done can you go back for a second yes I want to just just rate yeah yeah it's a failure yeah it is it's a failure wow well I feel good that you know we're above San Diego I I I think you'll be even more surprised at the next slides okay great thank I don't want to take away no it's all right okay so locally uh out of 44 school districts 28 are in differentiated assistance here's some local ones these are districts that are in differentiated assistance in other words they had one or more groups that are in red in two or more categories okay um so proximity F Brook San Marcos Vista
056Valley Center they are all in differentiate assistance and here's the bigger one our elementary for the past two years we are doing something different with our own kids here thank you um so that is publicly available and um we look forward to working with them but I I think I want to give this to you so you can get context of who is and who isn't um so I got a question to ask and [Music] yes the amount of effort that must be put in at the grade nine level to compensate yeah uh we am I right well we try to we get them where we get them yeah uh and so our our focus is on control the controllables we can't H we can't control what happens in the elementary we control when we
057get them and as long as from the day one we get them till they leave they improve then we're doing our work yeah and and still you're showing good progress you know I mean I've spoken to some teachers and yeah they have a real um difficult time and transforming the kids into into a um higher academic learning yeah well in my board pre speech at the end I've actually got a paragraph talking about how I want to have uh two meetings a year with the Elementary District combined because we have to we have to sync up better AB yeah so uh I said that without by the way um bill and I are going to put little lights on here um we're going to rewire this okay um the next slide here for more context
058these are district that are not in differentiated assistance um so this is who we are in company with Cardiff Elementary they're unduplicated percentage and again a reminder that is the percentage of students that fall into economically disadvantaged Foster youth or English Learners okay 13.6 Coronado 16% thees Elementary 38.1 delar Union 8.2 insanas 18.4 esand Union High School District 82% I demonstrate this to you and I show this to you because we are an outlier District the only other one close to us is National Elementary at 79 everybody else relatively low you look at Rancho Santa Fe Elementary 4.7 power unified 15.2% salana Beach 12.8 um and for more context the next slide these are districts that are in different assistance and they're unduplicated kahone Valley 80.9 Carl's B is an outlier in the opposite way
05920 21.4 chist elementary 60.8 F BR uning High 75.3 Vitos 86.4 sanro 81.6 hey Dr kasus yes for the people at home can you please continue to Define unduplicated again because it's something that kind of comes and goes for people to see so remind us what unduplicated is yes it's the percentage of students that fall into one of the following three categories English language learner economically dis advantaged or Foster youth thank you so we are encouraged by our progress by no means are we satisfied questions I got a question going back to the math question yes uh and I'm on on this page here okay so on the on the Da Side so um DA has has had a required third year of math for I think they have it required four years worth of
060math is that right uh that is their program it is not their graduation requirement the board establishes the board the graduation requirement right but but as far as the program itself it's their default scheduling fault is is they take ma for four years yes um and so you know Ela is great at 70% but that covering 28 while it's the best in the district it's it's about the same as s wall who's probably been having you know doesn't have four years worth the required so what what what do you think is the difference there um I it's a complex answer but I'll also point to the fact that if you look at the California average for unduplicated and even San Diego the logo outperforms them and they're about 74% unduplicated um D Lago for all
061intents and purposes has been historically our higher performing School in mathematics if you'll see seus Squall has done a wonderful job of closing that Gap um delago has had a lot of turnover in the math department in particular uh they're a small Department as is but I believe over half of their Math teachers have either uh moved or gotten um I think one of them was a distinguished teacher in Residence right s Marcos for a little bit uh so there were all good reasons but when that happens Theo culturally is very different in how they teach students and so it takes new staff members even if they're coming in as veterans from other districts to kind of learn the the logo way um but we can certainly dig into why they're not moving the needle
062a little bit more yeah you say the deog way what do you mean by that well there are only school that has been Project based learning it opened that way over now 11 years ago maybe 12 um and for teachers that aren't accustomed to teaching or assessing in that model it is very different yeah okay yeah that's one of the ways are different the the main reason probably yeah hard to say I mean you mark you're not going to show any I don't know maybe not yeah Christy can you define no Mark please um Dr casus can you define please Siri can you define it's not fail a no Mark just means that the teacher does have enough evidence of learning to assess the student so rather than give the student an F it's a
063noark and the student has opportunities uh beyond the end of the quarter for example to demonstrate their learning or reassess multiple times so conversation for another night which I don't think is a bad thing you just have to look at how those types of ways of grading can impact other things and by the way no marks are optional teachers if they don't want to give them they don't give them so yeah thank [Applause] you thank you Dr casus that definitely is both eye opening very detailed and intense and we definitely appreciate you and your team for all you guys are doing it's with all the Ed code that comes down which I'll be speaking about later it's amazing that anything gets accomplished whatsoever so thank you um so now we're going to move on to
064public comment and do we have anybody on public comment we're going to do E1 first yeah report from the California School Employees Association um anybody here speak to that we're not at public comment yet okay nobody here uh report from the Escondido secondary Teachers Association no comment there so we'll move on to public comment so um the first card that I have here the first and only card we have from the public is Dana mowen who happens to be the principal of Charter here in Escondido hi Dana and um so you'll be speaking and so go for it thank you um yeah Dana mowen proud graduate of escano High School Class of 1989 and proud principle of Classical Academy High School in Escondido for the last 17 years two reasons I'm here one is to

066as a theoretical physicist and cosmologist I doubt I would have been so confident in this career choice if it weren't for my inspirational school and supporters of the district like you although high school was something I was dreading in Middle School it has now become one of the most incredible Adventures I have ever encountered thanks to its personalization and supportive faculty to reveal more about my supporter school I'd like to briefly explain that before entering High School I wanted to write a book on science I perceived it was a way of achieving some scientific contribution to society given my inability to do actual research at the age of 14 um although I had begun my book before moving to high school since day one when my high school found out I was writing my teachers
067always inspired me to continue the most challenging part of the book process was actually not writing the book it was instead um when I finished it I could not find somebody to more or less read the book so um I actually happen to email over 30 professors though through personal research and none of them replied just to put that into perspective um um so but luckily out of all the people and no offense to him but my AP World History teacher helped make this publication a reality he allowed me to make the assignment of publishing my book as the primary goal of a passion project we were doing in this class he had a connection who read my book and even owned a small space agency that was compiling a Luna Legacy Mission shortly after
068this connection read my book and proved it I managed to self-publish it on Amazon um the space agency by the way um saw my book as a valuable Legacy object to put aboard a vehicle that will land on the moon and thank you very much coincidentally this meeting couldn't have happened at a better time because this launch it's from Kennedy Space Center happens to night at 101 p.m. aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket conations to the moon SpaceX did you say yes SpaceX and I believe it was already delayed a few times and it could be delayed again tonight but when I saw that cuz I got mixed up I thought it was yesterday but you know just because I mix up with Pacific and Eastern time you're gonna have to catch up with moon
069time oh yeah that's a whole different story yeah so anyway it's going up there tonight there's live streams on YouTube if you want to see that if you want to stay up for a late night it's 10 11 p.m. but um anyway with further Ado I'd like to thank all of you per for providing academic choices and options like The Classical Academy High School you have opened the doors for our lives as students to be more academically exciting you have also allowed us to obtain personalization to the best of our needs to ensure we all have a fair chance to learn and be good people in the future and by the way one last thing tonight I would like to offer each of you a sign copy of that book as a thank you for
070supporting our school of choice and making this achievement a reality thank you thank you all good evening I ask book so but it's right here that that's fantastic as the book does not cost more than $49.99 we can accept it because we cannot accept gifts more than $50 how much does it cost it's under 10 right okay can wow you congratulations you rockes enjo some science oh of course thank you well well done Lucas excellent job uh thank you guys Dana thank you so much uh I know that I and most of this board I think all the board actually are huge proponents of charter schools so thank you for the work you guys are doing there and we look forward to continuing uh approving your guys status regardless of what's Happening up at the

086to say that I appreciate Marie putting such great detail in here and it only took me five sections and four topics before I started reading what each item should be before I talk about it so thank you so um do we need to Dr good Dr good okay I can give a a brief introduction you covered most of it this is a second read following the the first read last month there have been no changes to the calendar since then uh happy to answer any questions you or the board may have so because we do need a motion before we discuss it um can I get a motion to approve no moved and a second second thank you so um I did have a comment or question if I remember correctly we changed the calendar
087partly to sync up with the Elementary District you're correct uh this year we were misaligned with the Elementary District we started a week prior to them uh and will end a week prior this calendar for next school year allign effectively we will start a week later than we have historically for the past several years and then do we end a week later correct okay correct okay it's foggy that month anyway my kids wish that we could stay out through all of September but that's for another discussion all right so we have a motion in a second so I will call I do have a question why did we do that what's the ration now do what sync up with the element yeah being misaligned doesn't really serve our families terribly well uh many of our
088high school kids may have younger siblings in the Elementary District our attendance that first week where we were misaligned was lower than historically we suspect because some of those older siblings in our district were perhaps at home caring for their siblings in the Elementary District since they hadn't started yet that's a noble uh change yes thank you uh question what about the other uh the charter type schools classical Charter and others we don't necessarily model after their calendars model after ours good question I have so when are we going to get this they actually have their own boards and they set their own agenda that way oh okay gotcha Al righty so we have a motion in a second if there's no further discuss discussion uh call vote from the student board member I I
089that's very good all right trustees I all right we are now synced up so that's excellent and so if we move down to number seven here um which is receive the Williams report for the second quarter 2024 2025 October through December and I'm pretty sure that's for assistant superintendent Phillips did I get that right no who gets it I'll take this one oh okay HR stays with Dr good thank you as you mentioned this is the report for the second quarter of this school year covering the months of October through December 20124 uh happy to report that there's no complaints that were filed okay well good um can I get a motion information only just information only okay very good so then we move down to business services which would be Amanda and so uh
090items number one two 3 four five six and seven were all approved on consent so just move on to I yep okay so then we can move on to I District Operations and this one here I one is to uh a motion to adopt recommended revisions in board policy 1330 and so um do we want to read it do I want to call for a motion first uh you can uh first ask for Amanda Phillips to just give the brief rundown and then we will you go a motion I finally get to do something so this is a second reading uh so this is BP 1330 um this is a revision of our use of school facilities so this was just adding some language from csba adding some clarity and some specificity regarding the costs
091um relating to um our facilities no revision since our last meetings okay so I will uh do we have a motion and then we can discuss it because we do need to adopt the policy or discuss it so can I get a motion to approve the changes make a motion to um approve I'll second all right any discussion um discussion would be I see like there's not any specific amounts obviously in here is your mic on your mic on oh isn't it on I'm not sure maybe you can't May I'm not talking into it enough um so there's no specific on mounts on here I just want to make sure that as we look at the use of facilities around the county that were consistent and Equitable um I recently looked at like if I
092was to as a coach want to borrow rent the field and it looked like the cost to for the for the U maintenance side seemed really high so I just would encourage everybody to look like it's basically like the rental cost for the hour was really low but the cost for like whatever else gets added on to that seemed really high in comparison when I looked at other for the custodial for the custodial I didn't understand what that meant it was like if I'm using a little piece of grass to what extent is that couple hundred custodial fee actually really needed so I would want to look at that a little closer to make sure that it's really fair yeah so those fees are our fees for the facilities are actually relatively low um we're
093probably one of the lowest the fees correct not the other fee correct for our labor um basically those are minimally required um when we need staff to come in and either open the fields or maintain the bathrooms um and those are we basically need them for the minimum um or they're required for for the requests of people that are renting them um for let's say um we have uh folks that have reunions and come and they either need security and they request security for X number of hours so whether it's the request of the people that are actually hosting the event and they want um custodial for X number of hours or security for X number of hours um or we're requiring it because you're coming on campus on a weekend and somebody needs to
094come and unlock it um and it's for the duration of your event and somebody needs to be there um basically the price that we've attached to it is the bare minimum to cover the cost of our um Union employees at overtime so the fee it's high it's very high to let me let me repas that I understand the is your mic on yeah my mic's on oh was it oh it was on was on you're you're on okay well it doesn't seem like it's doing anything because usually when you hit it it goes okay um here's the thing um so is our service fees maybe too low uh some of them are so like the fee for the football field is about $150 an hour um but the fee for like a grass field is
095like five okay so but there's a couple hundred doll that's the part I think that maybe we would need to I would I need to understand a bit more is like how are we charging several hundred for custodial fee if and it really doesn't even say like so we can get into this later but that doesn't even say what's included but it was really hot I mean that's really what it is it's basically $70 an hour um basically and that's for having somebody come open up maintain the bathroom if that's the case let's say a staff member like coach at a at a certain site is using those facilities at at the same cost do they pay those custodial fees or do they get to wait so I'd be curious to see an accounting of
096how much money we've made off of our fields in the last several years because my guess would we make a lot of money off of those fields based on what I see we have all of it um and it basically gets returned back to the sites um they have a facilities line item the site budgets do I just want to do a deep dive on this so how do we do that like what do we need do do you what do you need for I like how much is I'm trying to to your point I'm trying to figure out like is there a break down like a rental of the field there's this amount absolutely it's clearly itemized on the rental for operational cost for that yes you know um I don't know get together
097time something like that here's the operation that means somebody is having a reunion or what not how much is that yeah every event is out so is this external uh individuals that are renting the facilities absolutely oh okay could be both could be some of our High School coaches that are renting the field I know I just want to make sure that again that we're really keeping an eye and making sure that that is not getting abused in any way and that if we are charging those fees like I would be curious to see what how much money we're making each year off of each F that kind of stuff absolutely
