Thank you to all of our executive cabinet for your work, your support,
006and your patience. And thank you to jurers for stepping in when we really needed here. So all right, and that is our announcement for close session this evening. So [Applause] All right, let's go ahead and move on to the next item on agenda. Um, are there any changes to the agenda this evening? No changes. No changes. Perfect. May I get a motion to um approve the agenda? Okay. Moved by member Sneed. Um, second by member Espinosa. Preferential vote. Uh, student member Munoz. All right. Uh, all those in favor? I. All those opposed? Motion carries. 4 Z. Okay. Can't wait to get to this part. This is always the best part of our of our meeting, which is our special recognition presentation uh portion of our meeting. And this one is something that's very near and
007dear to me. And I so appreciate all these kids in front of us just like all the kids come. Uh, but I've seen them work all year. So, I can't wait to introduce the Helotex Cruiser Solar team to share all their work so far this year to produce the phenomenal car that's sitting out there waiting for us to see. So, please [Applause] actually work. Good evening, Board of Education members, Dr. Kuna, and You're the only one here, Miss Woo from cabinet. Um, I want to thank you all for having us this evening. We're very excited to be here. My name is Maria Garner. I am here with um Jeff Garner and Steve Lamb who we are the um parent adviserss for this year's cruiser team. Um, and we are under the uh advisement of Mr.
008Vincent Bell. Um, the team is divided into five subgroups. operations uh mechanical, electrical, composits and um solar. From the beginning, we encouraged learning across subgroups so they were not re resigned to stay within their designated group which was determined during our first team meetings. And for this particular project and program, the hands-on learning versus classroom was invaluable. And I do want to mention at the very beginning, mo many if not most of the kids did not even know the difference Phillips screwdriver versus a flathead, you know, a hammer versus a mallet and so forth. And they didn't have much knowledge um regarding machinery and power tools, but now they know a lot more. So, um hands-on, you know, is is amazing. Um the team is comprised of 17 diverse students and we are led by
009Alex Lynn and Isaac Chan. So, Um, Alex just graduated. He's going to be going to Cal State Poly Pomona. And Isaac is an incoming senior. So, I want to introduce um, Alex. Good evening, everyone. So, we'll be going over our team scrapbook today, which basically encapsulates all the work we've done so far. So planning our project has been in production for about eight months now and really the first three months have been planning laying the groundwork for what is our car currently that's sitting outside. So during planning stages, we often had meetings in uh City High School's library where everybody would get together, pitch ideas of maybe what they wanted the card to look like, what components were necessary, and basically have everybody pitch in on the design. So from the beginning, we wanted our
010chassis design to be a lot more simple and focus more on consistency and being versus being very aerodynamic. So, you can see that reflected in some of the early designs. As they progressed, they still remained as a lot more of a boxy shape. Um, on the top left, you can also see our rear swing arm design that was made in the early stages. Um, all of our CAD is done through our sponsored program of Solid Works. Um, and so we just use that to have a blueprint for what we're going to do or we can also use it to actually fabricate the parts and just so we know the exact numbers and everything is um top left is again our swing arm further on in development which is a lot more towards what it looks
011like right now. Um and then to the right of that is one of the brackets we made for our front suspension and the bottom is just the general frame as far as our shell design goes. Um because we're we're a cruiser we need to hold four people which means exponentially more power is needed to move us. So this makes it difficult for us to balance kind of our aerodynamics with our power drop. But through kind of the process of you know designing an error just testing and testing again we were able to end up with this maybe about a month ago even though this was the planning stage but a lot of our team we did just build along as we go. So this is basically what our final car would look like. Um Hello,
012my name is Jasmine. So, I'm going to talk a little bit about our electrical design process and just the decisions we made and why we made them. So, uh the first photo on the upper left corner, that's our main battery and that's what we're going to be using to actually power our car and um have it propel. So, weighs 160 pounds. And what we're looking at is a display and it basically tells us like the percentage, the um ampage coming in, ampage coming out, and then just like temperature, voltage per cell because batteries are made of cells. And then um so all this data is really important because this helps us make decisions during our risk strategy. And then on the upper right corner, that's um us planning our dashboard design. So it's good to
013have this we have a good understanding of uh what would be easier for the driver to see and like we have displays that show like the battery percentage and then um a a panel with buttons and then we have to like decide what would be easier for the driver to like um use. So right here that's the steering wheel. We have buttons and then uh displays that are abbreviated. But yeah, that gives us a better understanding of how to make our dashboard. And then on the center that's uh us working on our fuse box. So that's for auxiliary system and it's powered by a 12volt battery that so a fuse box is like a box that has multiple channels and then we put our 12vt battery to it so that the power is distributed to
014each channel and then on each channel we connect it to our lighting, our AC unit and our horn and things like that for our auxiliary system. And then um the last photo in this slide is our electrical schematics. So this is really important. We actually made this at the very beginning because it allows us to see what components we need, how to connect them, and it really minimizes the errors we'll have in the future because we could get it pretty much on the first try since we know where everything goes. And next I'll hand it off to talk about the solar design. Hi, my name is Leilani Garcia. I'm a current junior and I'm on the team. So this top photo up top is a schematic diagram of our all the electrical components in our
015system. And bas basically what it is is just our four panels in series and uh the bottom photo is the like complete photo of our panels together and they add up to uh 205 volts. And then on the bottom is just our MC4 connectors and those are basically what uh connect all the panels together. Hi, I'm Winter. To continue the solar design in the left hand side, we have our test setup which is consists of our MPVT, our high voltage uh contact box, our auxiliary battery and our M battery. We connected we connect them together to test our batteries. In the right hand side, we lay down our uh solar panels on the on the ground. We test them uh under similar condition weather conditions as our recent days in Texas. We then uh collect
016the datas as well as the weather and organize them into the spreadsheet. We also have our team members stand over the solar panels because we want to take into account how shade will affect the output power. I will hand it to mechanical. Hello, my name is Isaac Chen and uh I'm one of the fabricators for this team. As you guys know, fabrication is a essential back is the backbone of our project and we've been facing ongoing challenges with u making you know things troubleshooting. Um our frame is made of a 6061 T6 aluminum alloy for its lightness and rigidity. Um and it's also TIG welded together to ensure it structural integrity. pieces. workshop meetings during the week uh during the school year because that's when we're usually free. But once once summer came around, we
017started working more and more every day. So there's different things that you know like come together with making this frame, right? So we have the fabrication the chassis. And there's also other things that need to be made to hold our other components such as the motor, the controller, and uh we need to make brackets and braces for other things as well. Oliver basically So So for the next section of our presentation, we're going to talk about some of the more specific designs and choices that we made with each of our chemical So for mechanical for our tires, see the bottom picture, they're actually BMS racing wheels. And we chose these tires as they are strong enough to hold the weight of our car, but also not heavy enough to drastically impact the weight of our
018car. We actually purchased a buggy buggy and we borrowed pieces from that silos car. So um so for composits we we're mainly working on like the body. So we're deciding to use foam foam boards. and we're going to wrap it in vinyl. And uh we went with the board instead of the carbon fiber because it's more efficient and it's also lighter. Um so we're going to use these boards for the doors, the sides of our car, and also our our roof and also to support the the solar panels. Hi, it's me again. Um, so I'm going to talk a little more about the electrical section. Um, so on the upper right corner that's uh we're working on connecting our motor controller and motor like Oliver has mentioned earlier. And basically what it does is the
019motor controller is powered by the battery and then it gives like direct instructions to our motor and then our motor propels the car. And then the photo below it is our schematics. So like I mentioned earlier, it's really good to have a schematic beforehand and then u because it it helps with wiring all the components together and then min minimizing errors. So you can't really it's kind of blurry but um what it's uh basically is it's basically uh what Winter was talking about earlier which is our test rig and it's our panel going to our MPPPT uh which our maximum power point tracker and that connects to our battery. So that's how we charge our battery and in between is our high voltage box. It consists of two contacttors. You can think of them as
020like switches. Uh this helps like this helps us safely test our um connections especially because this is high voltage. So, it's pretty like you kind of want to be cautious because it's it could like shock you. But, um, and then on the bottom, the last photo, that's usually connecting the high volt high voltage box and we're connecting our buttons to them. Uh, and yeah, and then this talking a little bit about our solar now. We actually got donated some free panels and we were able to test them and uh collect data and we're pretty grateful because like they actually work really well. So yeah. Hi. In the right hand side was our MPVT. The MPVT displays uh the total power, the solar panel voltage, the battery voltage as well as the current charge level. In
021this particular photo, it was uh the LC MPBT LCD displays the 715 watts. Our highest W power reported was 1300 watts, which is equivalent to about two horsepowers, meaning there will be the power of two horses pulling our car. And last but not least, we were uh generously gifted this AC on the bottom. Uh and it's a big upgrade compared to our dry ice. So, we're hoping to uh stay cold to win the race. That's it. Thank you. [Applause] All right. Sorry about that. Um I also forgot to intro to introduce myself. So my name is Jay. Um so also to support our team because it does cost a lot of money. We do have an amazing operations team here today. Um but basically what they do for us is they um organize and we
022attend some of the events they help set up. So to get money we go out to public conventions and try and get connections there or like for the chameleia festival we run a booth and we try and get money. We also um companies directly to ask for sponsorships and we get a few responses but the majority of it has come from those big events. We also were able to do a commercial with the US Army for more public publicity as well as we recently attended the electrified expo. So I mentioned we were able to attend electrified expo just this past weekend. Um the booth is actually sponsored by Electrified. So we'd like to thank them as well. So, at these expos, we're really able to connect with many of the companies around the area, as
023well as put us into the eyes of pretty big larger corporate companies such as Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Lexus, and Can and Tesla, and a a lot of smaller companies who are also willing to sponsor us. And at this expo, we were able to get about $1,000 in donations. But a majority of like our purpose there was really to connect with the other companies there. And we were able to connect with if most if not all of the boots there. We talked to all of them. We connected with them and we presented our project to them giving us more public publicity and you know showing us showing us like for the world how we run things. And that is the end of our scrapbook. Um I just have in closing I want to thank um
024uh the parent advisors uh Steve Lamb and his family. I want to thank Jeff Garner, my husband who we do the workshops at my house. Um I want to thank Mr. Vincent Bell and of course thank the district. Thank you Dr. Kuna. I know last year we um you the district you know built us a shed and we were able to repurpose a band an old band trailer um for our use. So we thank you so much for that and for your support you know of course and um yeah we thank you for everything that you guys do. So and we hope to continue. All right. Thank you. All right. Um, so you know, I I can't again emphasize how proud I am of our students, uh, for their amazing fortitude, their perseverance in exploring
025something that they have never done before. Um, and I think that with the support of the district and I can't again the families, the Garners, I don't know, we're going to owe you for a while. Uh, um, you know, uh, for opening up your place to allow these kids to learn, to grow, and to gain an experience and knowledge that they are not able to get in a classroom environment. Uh, but really I like I've said this time and time again with all of these um STEM curriculum, extracurriculars I should say, it allows these students to apply the things that they've learned in the classroom. And so I can't think of our teachers or staff, you know, enough for everything that they've given to them to allow them to take this next step. And we
026are very unique in this community. I want everybody to know that. I have conversations with teams from other states and they are just completely amazed by how we're doing all of this. Uh they typically never see a first year team show up with a car, let alone see a second year team show up with two cars. So um it just is a testament to the strength of our community here in Temple City. We are truly blessed for all of us. Yes. [Laughter] Related related related. Yeah. Outstanding. So, uh before uh we head out to take a look at the car, we have some uh certificates we'd like to share with those in attendance today. And we also have others to give to those that couldn't make it today. So, uh I think let's go ahead
027and take care of that. So when you get it to stand there, we'll have the giant [Applause] Alex, [Applause] Mr. [Applause] Next we have [Applause] Garcia. [Applause] Come on up. [Applause] Finally, we have [Applause] allange. Yes. Come on. I think you want to show us. So you got Outstanding car. Um, I'll make a motion. May get a second. Second by member Georgina. All those in favor? I I Okay, we are in recess. All right. Reese's and get back to our meeting. U may I get a second please? Oh, second by member Snee. Okay. All those in favor? Hi. Hi. Okay, we are back to our open session. Thank you so much to our Helotech Cruiser team for coming to u share their incredible work with us. Next, we have public comment on agenda and non-aggendaized
028items. Uh I don't believe that we have any this evening. Um I do not have any uh committee updates this evening either. So, let's move on to bargaining unit comments. Uh first we have City Education Association. Okay. Uh next we have uh CSEA 105. Uh okay. All right. And I uh don't uh next is uh CSEA 823. All right. Thank you so much. Okay. Uh thanks for that update. Next we have district updates. First we have uh business services. Good evening. I hope my update is a fun as a cars. Okay. So um yesterday which is June 24th the legislative team and the governor reached the agreement for the state budget. There's a little small change based on the information available right now. Of course, in the next um most like this week because they
029want to sign the budget more timely. So, um they retired the including um mentioned in 245 budget which mean that the June to us will defer to July. So, that is retired but instead they add 1.9 billion dollar in the next end of next school year which is June 2026 to July 2026. Uh good news they add 15 million time to the city program. So that's another good news. The other things is the kitchen infrastructure program which we received we also spend detail next item is the increase for $150 million to $160 million. The other things is the um couple of one time funding the government proposed in the major vision also the um dollar amount was increase. So one time student teacher stipent program will be increased from $100 million to $300 million and
030then the uh literacy one time literacy for the um mass coach program unfortunately reduced from 4 $455 million to 2 So the total package is 321 billion spanning class in the governor's proposal. So unfortunately governor proposed during the reision that cut for the health program looks like not materialized. So that is the negotiation and we are waiting for the more detailed information for the next couple days to plan how we will fulfill our obligation to code to revise our budget which we expect to approve tonight for the 256 budget. So my next is we talk about the kitchen infrastructure and program we didn't spend um as a require the Expiration date is the end of this um actually this month and we purchased several equipment across all the kitchens and the equipment has been the
031same. This including a working refrigerator, working freezer, the milk cooler, the um working the warming cabinet and also the um sar already used at elementary school. So we hope that without limitation we hope we are also eligible to apply this one time new infrastructure because sometime they had requirement that just take a turn to application but as you know we all opportunity. So that is my update and again um we will ending the 24 year soon and I wish everybody have a great summer and I wish those who traveling including All right. All right. Thank you so much. Um I don't believe we do we have any updates for ed services or human resources. Okay. All right. Let's go ahead and move on. Uh next let's go on to board member comments. And this evening
032we'd like to start with member Espinosa. Oh, okay. Thank you. Good evening everybody. Um I just had a couple. One is I want to um wish the Helotech, you know, luck out in Texasuring their and I know it's going to be a wonderful experience. Wishing them the best of luck and and congratulations on all your hard work. I'm sure it's going to pay off. Um I also because I wasn't here last time, I just want to comment on all the promotions and the graduations. Um it's my favorite time of year to celebrate our students and this year is no this past um promotion season was no different. Just loved it. Thank you to all the planning that went into that from the facilities folks to the administrators to um everybody everybody that had anything to
033do with planning those wonderful events. They were beautiful um and it was so nice to be in um in our new stadium for that for the graduation. So thank you to everybody. Um I do feel compelled to make a comment on very recent concerns that appear to be impacting parts of our community. And I'll preface this by saying that in my position, I can only speak for myself. I cannot speak on behalf of the board. Um, but that said, um, it pains me to see some community members and families living in fear for their safety and fear of being separated from their families. And as it relates to education of students in this country, every child enrolled here has a constitutional right to an education. And I will continue to approach decisions we make on
034this board through that lens to protect all students and their constitutional right to an education. Um, and also I I want to comment on just general kindness and humanity. Something I think is sorely missing in our community in our when we look at the world today and the that we see on the television. I hope that our students through continued character education will notice the differences and see the importance of engaging in our society with kindness and humanity. A lesson that I hope lasts a lifetime for our students and our community. That's all for me. All right. Thank you very much. Next uh we have member Sne. Thank you. It's only been a couple of weeks since our last meeting, so there has been a lot going on, but um last week I did attend
035uh the I was able to join Representative Judy Chu's Congressional Youth Advisory Council reception. Um one of our high school graduates, Lexi Wang, was a member of the council and u over the last several months worked on several environmental program projects within the area. And I it just I was sitting there watching these students explain what they've been working on and I was just just brought to mind how impressed I am with our students that they're willing to become involved not only in our schools and our local comm local town but in the gater community. make the world a better place and they're always willing to step up and say there's a need. I'm going to I'm going to step up and do it. So, I really appreciate students who are doing that. Uh last
036Saturday, I attended the grand grand reopening of the Live Oak Park playground. I think almost every child in Temple City was there on the playground at one point, but the new playground is absolutely Fantastic. Um, they took that space statement as created. They created something that every age can enjoy, whether you're people of a certain age or you have little children. Um, it's going to be a very popular place in the whole valley. I think we took our granddaughter yesterday and at almost two, she could play on just about she didn't go. She definitely didn't go up in the spaceship, but but there's some there were tons of children there because they have a summer camp going on, but it was not crowded. There's something for everybody to enjoy over there. Um, I want to
037thank our Helotech team for giving us a peek at what they've been working on. It's just as several people mentioned, they have just gone above and beyond creating both their cars. Listening to them describe the work behind it, it's just amazing and they are just they're really putting city on the map and I want to wish them great luck in Texas next month and we just can't wait to see them compete. Thank you very much. Um, next we have member I don't have very much. I wanted to comment on the text. I'm always so proud when I hear these students speak. I don't really understand what they're saying, but it's so impressive. And last year I went to watch them uh compete and I thought I was going to be bored, but it was like
038this just listening to these were just brilliant, have worked so hard, have accomplished so much. I'm going back this year. I'm going to watch them compete again. And I'm just so proud of the program and I want to publicly thank the adults that are involved in it because without them, the students wouldn't have this opportunity. Looking forward to Texas in a few weeks. Um the only other thing I have is I wanted to invite everybody to attend the next um general membership meeting for the Society of Temple City. It'll be on July 13th at 2 o'clock at the Women's Club Hall. Um the program is going to be on um something that today we all take for granted. But at the time it was such an important issue that it was on all the TV
039news stations. It was in all the newspapers and in fact it was even in high school textbooks. Um 40 years ago [Music] not be involved in key club or interact. Women could not join Rotary clubs, clubs, JC, Lions, any of those clubs. And that was the case until a United States Supreme Court decision that had its roots here in the San Gabriel Valley and it changed how women could serve throughout the world. So, I'm going to be doing a program on the mouse that roared and um it's really a fascinating story and I hope everybody will come out and hear it. All I have. Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing that. Um yeah uh you know um it's summertime but it's uh busy for uh a number of us. Um thank you for
040sharing. I echo the comments of all my fellow board members. Uh Mrs. I think that uh you know we can agree that we are doing our part here to um educate the future of society. Um and I think it's incredibly important that um our students get a chance to understand history as it unfolds and I hope it influences uh their choices and decisions in the future. You know as as uh members of the board I think that's what we can hope for. Um and um for uh the uh the team again I thank them for coming out here to share everything with us. Um, you know, we will be out in Texas in about three weeks and uh, if it looks like I'm kind of burned, it's because I am. Um, we, uh, had the,
041uh, Electrify Expo in the Port of LA this uh, past weekend. Helped them set up, stayed there a few days, realized I should have put some block on. Anyway, um, um, there's more of that to come. Um, but yes, uh, I just, you know, again, I appreciate uh, everything that they work and as everybody has comment, the family, the this is we do this together. Uh this team doesn't exist if any one of these pieces are missing period. Um and I'm just uh very thankful to be uh to be a part of that to uh to be able to witness the growth and the development of uh these vocational type of programs because I think they're essential for the future of our society. So thank you so much. Uh that is all I have for
042this evening. Uh member Smith is here with us. Um, so next we have our student board member comments from Mr. Yeah, I don't actually have too much to comment on, but it is summer, so we are getting ready to start for next year. So I know our flag football team had last Thursday and Friday and that was really exciting new football team, new stadium. And then on Saturday, we actually have our high school science olympiadual meeting at the high school on that Saturday. And then also the Temple City Schools Foundation is having their theme musical on July 2nd and 3rd, which I know is very exciting for all of us. Thank you so much. Um, okay. Uh, next we have uh Superintendent Thomas. Thank you. I too got burned at the Electrify Expo. It was
043deceptively overcast in the morning. So, but I was just so impressed with the knowledge that our students had as everybody was coming up to talk to them. Um, and there wasn't like I everybody that was walking by was just so amazed by what our students put together. And I actually saw uh the was put together by MIT and I liked ours better. But uh you know I thought our our students did an outstanding job and obviously you know the one thing that everybody was asking is how fast does it go and you know the kids told them they've gotten this thing up to 60 miles an hour before and wow that's impressive for for you know something that they've built. And so I just uh I I want to echo the comments uh just with
044regards to our parents. Um the amount of time, the amount of money, the amount of space that they give to the students to be able to provide these opportunities. Uh I am very appreciative of that. And you know, I know that Maria was thanking us for our support, but they they do a lot of the heavy lifting. And so you We try as much as we can to support, but um you know, I was talking to Joe. I was like, "What are you gonna do?" He's like, "I'm gonna get my garage back." And I was like, "Can you good for you?" Um but it it really is just a lot of time that they they put into uh this for our students. And then I wanted to just kind of share with everybody that we
045are looking at September 12th for a grand opening of the stadium. We're hoping pretty much everything will be done with some minor, you know, cosmetic things that'll be just kind of that they'll continue to work on. But the hope really is September 12th will be our first home game for football. And so to have a grand opening celebration prior to that, kind of a little tailgate party uh prior to the first home game, uh we should have our concessions open by then. Restrooms will be done. Uh stadium seating was done this week. And um it looks like at least the turf will be down for softball and baseball at that point in time. And I've been working on the probably the stands at that point. And then uh tennis should be getting poured uh this
046next week. So it's it's coming together really quickly. I know more and more people are excited about it. U we have uh sold or we stopped the sales but we sold 233 bricks uh that we will be placing at the home entrance. Um and so I think that'll be fun for everybody who bought a brick to see. I think what we'll probably do is at that point I'm assuming we'll get a lot of people saying hey I didn't get to break up and then um I just uh you know I went to the uh sheriff's briefing this morning uh with the city and just wanted to share with everybody you know there's the sheriffs were talking about there's been an uptick in burglaries home burglaries in Um, and just to to be vigilant, you know,
047obviously they talk a lot about the fact that if you have uh, you know, video cameras, it's a deterrent. You know, make sure you're locking your doors. Um, you know, if you have an alarm, it's a deterrent. But it's just there's and it's obviously I think probably related to the economy as well, but there's just a lot of groups of of individuals that are doing some bad things in the area and we are not immune to it. We were actually burglarized one of our sheds, our maintenance sheds a couple weeks ago. So, um, another good thing and and I don't know how many people actually do it. I wrote myself a note is they were talking about making sure you lock up your electrical panel because they will cut the wires to disable, you know,
048your alarm systems or anything else. And I I'm pretty convinced most everybody doesn't pay attention to their electrical panel. So, you know, it's probably a good thing to just wanted to make sure I shared that with everybody. I hope everybody's having a good summer and uh we're, you know, planning for uh return. Um, and so I'm looking forward to that. Excellent. Thank you so much. Um, next, uh, we do not have any written communications. Uh, let's go ahead and move on to our discussion information item portion of our meeting items that the board would like to discuss or information presented to the board. These items do not require board action. And this evening, um, we have a couple of items from ed services. First is the review of the Williams complaint quarterly summary for April
0491st through June 30. Uh so there were no complaints too. Excellent. Thank you for sharing. Right. And next I believe we have a presentation uh for local indicators uh by Miss Stacy Ayers. Good evening board members. Good evening Dr. Kuna, cabinet and our community. Thank you for this opportunity for me to do a presentation on our local indicators on this uh evening as you are also looking at the LCAP adoption. You recall at our last board meeting uh we had held a public hearing and um tonight the LCAP is back on the agenda for potential approval. And in ED code, it asks us to also do a presentation on the local indicators at the same time that the LCAP is being presented for approval. So tonight in front of you on the board agenda item,
050you actually have a draft of what we are potentially going to be uploading to the public on the California dashboard. And just so that everybody understands what local indicators are, the state of California gives us eight priority areas uh that we have to report on as a school district. And when you take a look at this particular slide, it summarizes the multiple measures that we utilize on the California dashboard to report these um various indicators. And so you can the priority areas listed on the left in the first column and the middle column shows the state indicators. These are the ones where we receive the colors on the California dashboard and it's based on data that gets uploaded from Calpads and from various assessment um state assessment systems. But the final column is the local
051indicator column and that is where we report out locally. So we get to choose um how we report on these particular prioritize priority areas based on how we rank ourselves on reflection tools um and by analyzing implementation within our district. So when we report on local indicators there are five particular areas that we report on that is basic conditions our implementation of of state standards within our district, parent engagement as well as school climate and access to broad course of study. And so every year we look at these five areas through the lens of a reflection tool that's provided from the California Department of Education and annually we share it with you um as the board, but then it is shared publicly in the fall on our California dashboard and Those five indicators will receive
052either a reporting as standard met not met or not met for two years. So for the first priority area we uh will be submitting that we are standard met and as you look through the document that I shared with you um in the board agenda you will see that this starts on page four of 15 where they ask us to do a self-reflection tool and you will see some data there related to the percentage of appropriately assigned teachers. It will show how many teachers are um clear credentialed teachers. It will also show the percentage of students that have access to aligned instructional materials, which is all of our students, and the number of identified instances when facilities do not meet the good repair standard. And we report zero on that one because all of our
053facilities are in fact in good repair. The second priority that uh we report on the dashboard is related to our state academic standards. And this is actually um through the help of our uh staff and particularly our teachers who fill out a professional development survey each year and they give us information and ed services on how we're doing with providing them with the instructional materials that they need. whether or not uh they're receiving the professional development that they need to implement the various frameworks. And so on page six of 15 um you can see the ranking scales of where we fall um on the various uh ranking tools. And one of the particular areas of note that we want to continue to focus on is our implementation of history uh and social studies. We know
054that the materials are uh something that our teachers would like to see updated. So that is something that we're looking uh at in the future. But for the most part, we feel that we ranked really high in the area of knowing what our staff needs when it comes to professional development. Um because of this survey that we're doing annually now, the teachers are able and classified staff are able to communicate clearly what their needs are so that we can provide those PD opportunities. So we plan to report this as standard met as well for parent and family engagement. This is a reflection tool that focuses on building relationships between school staff and families, our partnerships as they relate to student outcomes, and seeking input for decision making. Um, most of this input is taken from
055the two family surveys that we send out each year. And based on how our parents uh and family members fill out these surveys, it helps us decide what our next steps should be when it comes to continuing to grow our parent and family engagement programs. And so one of the things that we know that we're doing well is providing the parents with the resources they need to be able to support their children at home. We had 90% of our families indicate that they felt supported that way. Um so 10% we can continue to find other ways to reach them. Uh but essentially we also know that we can continue to enhance our family engagement opportunities especially as it relates to uh translation and making sure we're connecting with uh unrepresented groups uh within our programs.
056So for priority six which is school climate we plan to uh report this one as standard that as well. We send home the local climate survey each year and to our our families as well as our students and our staff, parents, and our students have an opportunity to give input through the healthy kids survey each year. And through this data, we're able to reflect on what the next steps are that we need to be able to continue to offer a safe um and caring environment on our school campuses. And what always comes through as a person as a strength for our district is our PBIS program and we see that reflected in many of the uh awards that we've received by all of our schools implementation. Uh and we want to continue to make sure
057that we grow the number of the students who are feeling safe on campus especially at the secondary levels. And then finally is the access to a broad course of study. This one relates to reflecting on the course offerings that we um have at all of our schools across the district. And through the reflection tool uh and the prompts that they give us, we have to look at various measures, student access to programs, barriers, and things we want to continue to improve. So, we have looked at data before that we know we offer really great CTE courses at the high school. Um but the state is looking for those CTE completers and so that is one of the things that we want to continue to try to grow. Um, but we have uh excellent VAPA programs
058and are planning to grow our world language offerings next year with our new dual language immersion class starting in kindergarten at Longden and then also bringing back um world language of Mandarin at Oak for next year. So we plan to report this also as standard net. So for next steps when it comes to the local indicators between now and the end of August I will be taking the draft um that you are seeing related to the local indicators language and reflection tools uploading those into the system. Um those will go public in the month of November for the community to be able to see um how we did on our local indicators as well as our state indicators for the 25 school year. And then once again, we'll use the data through the LCAP process
059to be able to continue to make those updates going forward. Thank you. Any questions? Thank you very much. Um, my fellow board members have questions. Again, outstanding presentation. Thank you for kind of really sharing with not just us, but the general public the work that we do here collectively on behalf of our students. So, thank you so much for that. All right. Okay. So, next, uh, we've got our discussion action agenda portion of our meeting. Items that may require discussion, but upon which the board is expected to take action during the meeting. Oh, you left.
