001this meeting to order. Let the roll call show that all board members are present. This is a period for public comment and public comment prior to close session. This public comment time is reserved for individuals who may wish to address the governing board regarding regarding a matter that is not on the agenda. If you wish to address the board about an item that is on the agenda, please do so when the agenda item is called. The board respects the rights of all community members to praise, criticize, or otherwise discuss matters related to the district's business. However, we kindly ask that individuals speak in a respectful manner that is consistent with the district's welcoming and professional culture. Complaints against specific district employees should be resolved through the district's personnel complaint procedure. The right to address the
002board does not exempt the speaker from any potential liability for defamation. Public comment will be limited to a maximum of 3 minutes per person, a limit of approximately 450 words with the total of 30 minutes designated for this portion of the agenda. At this point, uh, Miss Good evening, Superintendent David Madic and Benny Silva, board members. Tonight, I'm here to address a very serious matter. I will start to kind of uh give you guys a brief idea on what transparency, tampering, and giving the community, parents, the stakeholders the rights to do what they are entitled to. The Browns Act, officially known as the Ralph and Brown Act, is a California law that assures the public's right to attend and participate in meetings of local legislative bodies. Enacted in 1953. Open meetings. All meetings of a
003legislative body must be open and public, allowing anyone to attend and participate. Agenda requirements must be posted at least 72 hours before a regular meeting detailing the items to be disclosed. That means to us, not to yourselves. Public comments. The public must be given an opportunity to comment on any item on the agenda before or during the body's consideration of the item which were not been given that opportunity. The bounds act aims to prevent decisions made being made in secret and assures that the public is informed about the working of their local government which were still in the dark. Two weeks ago, you guys all came in and voted on something that was not put on the agenda, hurting certain people and certain departments that the community was not aware of. And I am the
004community. I am a stakeholder. I'm very disappointed in that. I am urging the board members as of today to go into your close session and take this Brown Act very serious because this could cause someone to go into a charge of felony or imprisonment. We cannot make choices or appoint anybody unless the district opens up those positions for employment. And as far as our superintendent or any other positions, I have not seen them online being opened up to the community. Thank [Music] you. Consuel Roman. Good afternoon members. My name is Consella Roman and I am a disability parent of a human high school student. I wanted you to be aware that a complaint has been made to HR about the bus transportation from Bitman High School to San Francisco on April 9th. I personally feel
005as as a mother of this my her first time being you know this is a one time in election trip for seniors and I personally feel that this was very inhumane and it was not resolved appropriately um the attention that these students needed um was not met. I mean, I would feel as a parent if you are receiving a text message from your child saying, "We can't breathe, anxiety is kicking high, not enough water, food," it's going to be a concern for their safety and their wellbeing. Um, I do hope that you guys can investigate um this matter as soon as possible and um find whoever um is accountable. So, please um have them be accountable for this. Thank you all very much for your time. I believe we're looking into that. Is there anyone
006else that would like to uh speak to the board? May I come up, sir? Good evening. Uh my name is Kelly Quao. I wanted to address the board. So, thank you for having me out here today. Um first and foremost, I wanted to address a few things. First and foremost with yesterday's incident at Duner Elementary School, um I went out there directly and spoke to an individual at the school um just to figure out what was going on because there was a lot of stuff circulating in the community. Um so I did my due diligence as a private investigator in the community and went out and spoke to them and gathered my own evidence. Um during that time um I was a little disappointed um that you know we as a community aren't doing our
007due diligence and ensuring that our schools are safe and so I'm asking for an investigation complete investigation not at your discretion basically having a third party come out and do a proper investigation into the safety and security of our schools in Turlock. Not just that is on another separate matter, on a personal matter, my daughter has been being bullied out of school, excuse me, multiple schools in the Turlock Unified School District over the last few years. As I've gathered my own evidence, I've been able to gather that there's been numerous not only students, but also staff members that have bullied my child and targeted my child, falsifying documents of putting those things in her file. when I went to to USD to get that information and ask if them they could be removed instead of
008picking and choosing what they were going to be removed there was, you know, obviously the whole file was removed. So, I would like an investigation done into uh retroactively going back all the way from my daughter attending to USD until current. We recently tried to put her in Sacred Heart. She was denied when she would after she was being bullied. items were placed in her file falsely. And to this day, I appreciate the professionals of D David Lattic who's contacted me late at night just to have conversations. But I'm sorry, but that that it doesn't stop there. There's other answers that me as a parent want. And it's not even just about my child. It's other students in our community that are suffering. And I'm going to tell you, I will not stop, especially for
009my child and any other person in this community. We just saw an overturn of Turlock Christian. As you guys know, I was a lead investigator on that matter and we have overturned a few members and I I want to ensure that students in our community are safe and I'm going to ensure that my daughter gets justice served here. Um, and so that being said, I'm asking you guys to do a full investigation into that matter to include the investigation into Dutcher and ensuring that um the students are safe and and having proper training. Um, I don't think these individuals were properly trained to handle matters like that and you you waited how many hours to do a lockdown. Um, what if it was something that was more? How did we know somebody was not hiding
010behind a a building, right? That there should have been automatic safety plan and measure. These people should have been fully fully trained. Nobody was trained. So, you tell me if you think that me as a parent in the Trilock Unified School District feel that my child is safe, including everybody else's. Thank you. Is there anyone else that would like to address the board? If not, we'll recess into close session until approximately 6:45. Thank you. Like to report that no action was taken in close session for inspiration tonight. Mr. Bron from Alllet Elementary. Good evening everyone. Members of the board, Superintendent the inspiration for the trait of responsibility. And it is my honor to introduce Walnut sixth grade student Carter D. Rose. Carter is here tonight with his parents, Ma and Sandy. Carter's teachers state the
011following. Carter is the kind of student, teammate, and friend who leads not just with his words, but with his actions. Responsibility isn't just something he demonstrates. It's woven into who he is. Every assignment he turns in is not only on time, but done with effort and care, reflecting his unwavering commitment to excellence. He never gives less than 110%. Whether he's solving a tough math problem, contributing to a class discussion, or giving his all on the soccer field, what makes Carter truly stand out is his heart. He treats everyone with kindness and respect, always looking out for his classmates, supporting his friends, and ensuring that no one is left behind. Even while balancing the demands of multiple competitive soccer teams, he remains dedicated to his academics, proving that hard work, discipline, and a strong moral compass
012can make anything possible. Carter's future is as bright as his character, and we are beyond proud to honor him today for his outstanding responsibility. Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome Carter D. Rose. Good evening, members of the school board, teachers, and parents. My name is Carter D. Rose and I'm honored to be here tonight to talk about the character trait of responsibility. Responsibility means doing what you're supposed to do even when it's hard or when no one is watching. It's about being reliable, making good choices, and following through on commitments. For me, responsibility shows up in many parts of my life. At home, I make sure to do my chores, whether it's taking out the trash, cleaning my room, or taking care of our pets. At school, I stay on top of my homework
013and always try my best because I know my education is important for my future. And on the soccer field, I work hard at practice and give it my all in games. Not just for myself, but for or who my teammates down on me. Being responsible isn't always easy. Sometimes I rather play video games than study or relax instead of going to practice. But I've learned that responsibility is about making the right choices, even when they're tough. When I stay committed to my responsibilities, I feel proud of what I accomplished and know I'm earning the trust of my teachers, coaches, and family. Responsibility is important because it helps us become dependable people. When we take responsibility for our actions, we show that we can be trusted to do the right thing. It helps us succeed in
014school, in sports, and in life. And most importantly, it sets an examples for others to do the same. I want to thank my teachers, coaches, and family for helping me grow into a responsible person. And I encourage everyone to practice responsibility every day because it helps us all become better students, teammates, and members of our community. Thank you. [Applause] Thank you, Mr. Winners. Good evening everyone. It is my great honor to recognize Mia Silva. She is a sixth grade student in Mrs. SA's class at Walnut. Mia is a great example of a responsible scholar at Walnut. She consistently demonstrates great work habits and effort in the classroom, completing her assignments on time and actively participating in all activities. Ma serves on our rad leadership team where she is responsible for various activities for the entire
015school. She has helped with writing and performing character trait skits uh creating promotional posters for our kindness challenges uh challenges uh supporting students before school on our safety patrol and countless other RAD activities. Her ability to serve as a role model for her peers is commendable. She often works alongside them, offering support whenever needed. Mia always brings a wonderful sense of humor and kindness to our school, making it a more positive environment for everyone. She is a great responsible uh great example of a responsible walnut scholar, and we are grateful to have her as part of our school community. Now, Mia is going to lead us in the flag saloon. [Applause] Ready salute. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under

I don't want to take much time but I do want to say this is the 25th year that we have had every 15 minutes the program started in 2000 and I was part of its inception and from that time on Turlock Sunrise Rotary has donated money for Turlock High Schools every 15 minutes Pitman
019High is every 15 minutes as well as volunteers and other things. But it's a big program. I've talked to students throughout the years. It's made an impact. And I'd also like to recognize our high school's SRO Jessica. And she did a phenomenal job and I hope if you get the opportunity that you are able to actually see it. It does have an impact on students and I talked to many students after this year's program that were moved. And so if we can save one student or more students from drinking and driving, it's achieved its mission. Thank you. [Applause] I think it also save some adult lives too. Well done. I just wanted that the second portion of that with the boys basketball team and helping our crowd through the event. The Sunrise Rotary really depends
020on that event is one of our major fundraisers if not our largest fundraiser. And these guys were instrumental in doing that. They have to prepare this this meal that I think it was about I forget how many people over 600 people at this um event and they were the ones physically cracking the crab and prepping it and everything. It's not a job that I like to do and so I'm glad that they did it. But they were instrumental in this and it was one of our biggest fundraisers that we've had in our club history. So I just really wanted to go on the record that they were instrumental and such a great help for that. So thanks [Applause] again Miss Freeman.

[Applause] Good evening, President Silva, other members of the school board, Superintendent Latic, faculty, families, and community members, and past walnut students as well. Um, as we were already introduced, I'm Danielle SA, the sixth grade teacher of the visual performing arts magnet. Becky Russell, fourth grade math science magnet. Thank you for the opportunity tonight to speak with you. We are proud to represent a truly unique and inspiring
026learning community. Walnut Elementary, a school that stands as a shining example of what is possible when innovation, collaboration, and creativity come together in education. At Walnut, we are more than just a K6 school. We are a dual magnet learning hub where map science and visual performing arts intersect to create rich, engaging, transformative experiences for our students. Our school culture is one where imagination beats inquiry. And every child is encouraged to explore, question, perform, create, and discover. What makes Walnut so special is the way that we weave these two magnets together. Whether it's using tap dance to demonstrate sound waves and scientific principles or applying mathematical thinking into design and creating visual art projects, our students are constantly connecting concepts that deepen their understanding and spark their passion for learning. A key extension to our magnet
027school is the elective program that we have where elective classes are created and taught by our talented teachers. These enrichment classes span a wide range of topics from digital art, musical theater, coding, hands-on science, choreography, science olympiad, and so many more. These enrichment electives allow students to explore personal passions, build confidence, and make meaningful connections between what they learn in class and the world around them. Our classroom and campus spaces are places of active learning where students are not just absorbing information, but living it. This starts each morning with a schoolwide community building that we do daily with our morning opening. It's woven into all of our classrooms, whether it's kindergarten building their first science model or sixth graders performing an original monologue inspired by ancient civilizations. Every student finds their voice and their confidence.
028These experiences don't happen by chance. They happen because of our dedicated staff, our support staff, campus supervisors, and all of the APA staff who go above and beyond every single day. They collaborate across grade levels and subject areas, invest countless hours planning, experimenting, and reflecting all so our students can thrive. Their hard work ensures that learning at Roma is never oneizefits-all. Instead, it's active, hands-on, and full of meaningful experiences. At Walnut, we foster a school celebrating creativity, curiosity, and community. We believe in giving students the tools to succeed academically and the freedom to express who they are, where they don't just learn, but they love to learn. We are proud of the vibrant, inclusive, and inspiring environment. And we are deeply, deeply grateful for the continued support of the schoolboard, the district leadership. Together we
029are shaping future scientists, artists, leaders, and thinkers one magneteer at a time. Here's a short video showcasing the magnet experience created by current and former Walnut students. They created and filmed the interviews. They had creative song choice and completely edited the video. Thank you so much. [Applause] I want to thank everyone from all that. Great presentation. Good things are going on at your school. We agree to commend it. Thanks again. like to thank uh Miss Russell also participation. Thank you. [Applause] Any staff reports? Oh, excuse me. Superintendence report. All right. Thank you, President Saudi members of the board. Uh it has been a uh challenging past couple of days uh considering the incident middle school yesterday and I'd like to publicly recognize the level of concern and fear of the situation presented for our students
030uh staff and parents. We certainly don't ever want our students or staff in such a situation. This incident has resulted in us reviewing our policies, practices, and responses to our daily campus safety routines. I also want to ensure the public that we take these matters seriously and do everything we can to communicate in a timely manner with this accurate information as possible. I am grateful for the response to TPD and assisting the school site particularly officer Clark for being there uh and the work of principal Robert Reese and his team in communicating the incident to the Dutch community. Most of all I am thankful nobody was injured or worse. Tonight on the consent calendar we have uh several resolutions uh this evening. And I just want to take a minute to recognize the upcoming week
031of the classified employee, the national teacher week, California day of the teacher, national school nurses day, and the day of the school principal. Uh I want to say thank you and recognize our classified employees who open or close our schools each day. They bring our students uh to school and take them home. They feed them breakfast and lunch. They communicate with our families and provide technology support as needed. Our classified staff ensures our facilities are maintained and safe. They support our students learning and look out for their physical, social, and emotional well-being. I want to say thank you and recognize our teachers as they have the most profound impact on our students academic success. They provide inspiration for learning and motivate our young scholars to achieve a high levels. Our teachers partner with parents, build
032collaborative relationships with our families. They intervene by reteing when necessary and they too look out for our students physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. I want to say we need to recognize our school nurses. They promote the health of all children to increase student achievement. They provide health related supports to children with medically fragile conditions. They participate as valuable members of intervention teams and work to ensure healthc care is provided as necessary. Nurses are also valuable members of our school communities as they also look out for our students physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. Finally, I want to say thank you and recognize our school principles as they communicate effectively with parents to engage them as partners in their children's education. They serve as educational leaders responsible for managing the policies, regulations, and procedures necessary to ensure
033a safe and effective learning environment. Our principles work to ensure every child has access to a high quality education while looking out for their physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. Uh Barney and I rode with bus driver Anthony Ageneiga this morning on his route. I wanted to get a firsthand experience of the work our bus drivers do, and Mr. Ageneiga demonstrated his professional skill set masterfully. It is clear his years of experience provide a safe and timely ride for young Earl Explorers and members of the Pitman Pride. We got to ride on one of the new electric buses. Thank you to Anthony Dolores and the transportation team for scheduling this opportunity to learn more about the work of our bus drivers. And lastly, got to say happy birthday to our board president.

It is becoming a reality in USD. Our commitment to implementing positive behavior interventions and supports and restorative practices has led to a transformative our transformative shift in our school climate. Today we will glow into the details of our journey showcasing the positive
045outcomes and potential for further success. As you listen, think about how these approaches could be expanded to foster even greater engagement and support in our schools. Positive behavior interventions and supports and restorative practices are two integral frameworks guiding our approach to create a supportive school environment. PBIS is a proactive tiered system that focuses on teaching and reinforcing positive behavior. It operates on three tiers. Tier one, universal interventions for all students. Tier two, target interventions for atrisisk students. Tier three, intensive supports for students with significant behavioral challenges. In contrast, restorative practices aim to build community and address harm through restorative dialogues, processes such as restorative conversations, restorative circles, restorative conferences, and restorative action plans. These practices prioritize relationships and conflict resolution over punitive measures, fostering a culture of respect and empathy. Together, PBS and restorative practices
046creates a comprehensive framework that encourages positive behavior, supports social emotional learning, and enhances overall school planning. This slide introduces the PBS framework. Visually represented by a triangle, a key symbol of PBIS. We'll explore from the bottom up. At the base of the screen is tier one, the foundation for pre prevention. When implemented with fidelity, tier one supports 80% of students through universal strategies like clear behavioral expectations. Moving up to the yellow section, tier 2 focuses on target group intervention for approximately 15% of students. This includes restorative practices such as circles, character building programs, and check-in checkout systems. Research from the National Center on PBIS in 2020 shows that effective tier 2 interventions can significantly reduce suspensions and punitive discipline by addressing needs early. At the top in red, tier three represents individualized support for one
047to 5% of students. Even when tiers one and two are implemented well, this might involve SST referrals, behavioral support plans, or mental health counseling. This tiered approach ensures every student receives the right level of support, fostering a positive and equitable school environment. Get ready to celebrate some incredible wins. Over the last three years, our schools have made phenomenal strides with PBIS and restorative practices, transforming the way we support our students. Here's the exciting news from TUSD. Suspension rates plummet. We've slashed the total number of suspensions by an astonishing 78%. Paving the way for more positive, supportive approaches to discipline. Restorative practices sore. We've boosted the use of restorative practices like conversations, circles, and conferences by an impressive 85%. creating a vibrant, inclusive school environment where students thrive, leaving outdated punitive measures in the dust. Even
048better, we're harnessing the power of schoolwide information, Swiss, to track these gamechanging behavioral measures. This data doesn't just showcase our victories. It fuels our passion for future initiatives, driving us to elevate school climate and success to new heights. Teachers play a vital role in successful implementation of PGIS and restorative practices. In our district, educators have embraced these frameworks through various initiatives. Tier one implementation. Teachers are trained to establish clear expectations for behavior such as being safe and respectful, which creates a positive classroom culture. Small group support. Tier 2 interventions target support for students who need additional help enhancing engagement and attendance. Restorative practices. Educators facilitate restorative conversations to resolve conflicts and build relationships, replacing traditional punitive measures with growth opportunities. Data tracking teachers utilize Swiss behaviors around allowing for real-time adjustments to teaching strategies and
049interventions. These practices empower teachers to create supportive environments where students can thrive, build resilience, and develop conflict resolution skills. Santa Claus County of Education TUSD PBS lead and USD leadership teams are essential in driving the success of PBIS and store of practice in our schools. Their roles include training and development. SCO has successfully trained TSD staff in PVS and scored practices with plans for further training sessions in the 2526 school year to ensure all staff are equipped. System support PBS leadership teams work with each school to monitor progress with data leading to a notable decrease in suspensions and increase in restorative practices. Community engagement. Parent conferences now incorporate discussions around restorative practices, fostering collaboration between families and schools. Through these initiatives, PVS leadership teams at each school site serve as the backbone of our efforts,
050ensuring that both staff and students are supported and in fostering a positive school culture. Our PBIS leadership teams at each school set established behavioral expectations, clear schoolwide rules designed to unify our community. These expectations paired the specific behavioral examples by setting creating shared language experience and vision. The result, a positive, cohesive school culture. Why is it limited to only three positive stated examples? Research from the University of Oregon's Pviana Center 2019 highlights three key benefits. First, they're memorable, ensuring students, the staff can recall them easily. Second, they generalize across contexts, reinforcing consistency. Third, they align seamlessly across staff and settings, streamlining implementation. These expectations to foster a predictable, consistent, and safe environment, hallmarks of an equitable school. With PBIS, we're building a foundation for success, one clear rule at a time. This poster presents an
051example of our schoolwide behavioral expectations at the high school level, designed to foster a positive and equitable environment through the PBIS framework. The poster features a table outlining three core expectations. Be safe, be respectful, and be responsible across key settings in the classroom, lunch areas, common spaces, school activities, technology, and social media. These expectations provide a clear, consistent framework for all students. Research from the center on PBIS 2020 shows that schools implementing such well-defined expectations see a 20 to 60% reduction in disciplinary incidents promoting a safer and more inclusive school environment. This poster exemplifies our commitment to supporting student success across all facets of high school environment. The implementation of PBIS within the classroom is a collaborative and systematic approach to fostering positive behavior. The PBS leader teamship team first establishes clear behavioral expectations for
052the classroom. These expectations are then refined by grade level teams incorporating valuable input from all teachers to ensure alignment and relevance. Individual teachers supported by the PBIS leadership team and the grade level colleagues define specific procedures and routines tailored to their classrooms. Finally, these expectations are explicitly taught to all students, ensuring consistency and clarity. Research from the National Center on PBIS 2022 underscores effectiveness of this structured approach demonstrating that classrooms with wellbe and consistently taught expectations see a significant reduction in behavioral disruption creating a more focused and equitable learning environment. This process reflects our commitment to support both educators and students through PBIS. This slide showcases our PBS store at Wakefield Elementary School, a vibrant hub of positivity that celebrates students who meet our behavioral expectations. Imagine this, a vibrant store filled with rewards where
053students earn Wildcats for demonstrating safe, respectful, and responsible behaviors like sharing on the playground or helping a classmate in the classroom. They can redeem these bucks for fun rewards from pencils to extra recess time. This store isn't just about rewards. It's a cornerstone of our PBIS restorative practices framework. Teaching and reinforcing social emotional skills both in the classroom and schoolwide. By acknowledging positive actions, we encourage students to internalize these behaviors, fostering a supportive school culture. Research from Martall 2014 in a journal positive behavior interventions confirms that acknowledgement systems like this can increase student engagement by up to 50%. Making the student store an essential tool for building a thriving restorative community. The legal framework supporting PAS and sort of practices is critical for ensuring compliance and guiding our efforts. The California Ed Code sections 48900.5
054and 48911.1 emphasize that suspension should be the last resort that students must receive support during disciplinary actions. Our restorative practices and supportive measures align with these regulations, ensuring that we are not only meeting legal requirements, but also fostering a positive and inclusive school environment. Further, our district policies align cohesively with the principles of PBIS and restorative practices, creating a cohesive framework for approach to student behavior and disciplinary action. Key policies include board policy 5131 student contact promotes a positive climate where PBIS expectations are enforced through data-driven practices. Board policy 5144 discipline encourages alternatives to suspension supporting our shift towards restorative practices. Board policy 0410. Our data shows a notable reduction in suspensions for historically marginalized groups, demonstrating our commitment to equal access and equal justice for all TOSD students. This alignment ensures that our implementation
055of PBIS and restorative practices is not an isolated initiative but a fundamental aspect of our educational philosophy supported by our governing policies and sends a powerful message to our students. They are valued, heard, and supported as they navigate their educational journeys. As we look towards the future, our goal is to continue to expand the implementation of PBIS and restorative practices across all schools in QSD during the 202526 school year. Our planned next steps include increased utilization of Swiss. We aim to complete our full PBS and restorative practices roll out by increasing the utilization of Swiss and training in restorative practices. targeted goals. Our objectives include reducing suspensions, increasing the use of restorative practices to teach, and reinforce age appropriate social emotional learning skills. Progress monitoring. Regular check-ins and assessments will be conducted to evaluate the
056effectiveness of our initiatives and make necessary adjustments. With continued commitment and collaboration, we can build on our successes and enhance the educational experience for all students in TUSD. In closing, as we continue to refine our practices and expand the implementation of PIS and restorative practices, we invite you to be part of this transformative journey. Your insights and feedback are invaluable as we strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all learners. Let's continue this conversation and lead the way in excellence together. What questions do you have about our progress? How can we work together to further enhance our practices within TUSD? So, I look forward to those questions moving forward. Are there any questions for the board? Miss Carlson, I really appreciate your leadership in this area, Mr. Ogden, and this is just very
057important work. I have a question and I have a comment. Um, my question is just that um, you know, I see that their schools are, you know, some are at tier one, some are at tier two. They're kind of, you know, different different um, they're in different places in in bringing it to the sites. And I just was curious, I appreciate that you shared the next steps, but is it are they opting in to increase the, you know, continuing through the training to the tier 2 level or are we are we going to do that at all sites? Sorry, we're not. Yeah. So, where right now, that's a very good question. No, right. Right now, where we're at is some of our schools and you can see on the first paper we have three award.
058Some of our schools are more are ahead scored higher than tier one of the school site. So, all school sites have received tier one training. Okay. All of them for the most part have received tier two, but we're going back with some school sites and retraining the tier one next year. And then we're also training some school sites that need more tier 2 interventions, training those school sites. So, this last training year, we did a lot of training in tier 2 interventions, referrals to those. Next year, the training, we're going to do a combo training of TBIS tier one and tier two for most of the sites. One site's going to have mainly tier due, but all sites are going to get a a heavy dose of restorative practices. So, we're going to focus a
059lot on that intervention. Okay. So, it's essentially you're tailoring it to what the needs of the sites are. Correct. We have we have the school sites broken down into cohorts. So, when we go and do the training, they're done within that cohort based on where they're at. And then we do a needs assessment. We do two tier two needs assessments where they're at. We did one at the start of the year and we just did one here. I believe it was in March. We walked around and did the need assessments and then the staff that had their PBS leadership team, they do their all own self-reporting needs assessment based on what they have available to school. Got it. And then just my comment is I I really appreciate in the school expectations that you um
060have here in the examples that it's saying what to do, not what not to do. Right. So it's giving that it's just giving really clear expectations of the behavior we want. And I feel like so often we focus on the behavior that we don't want. So this is it's just so positively communicated. And I I just appreciate that. Just a key point. So let me do a lesson right here. All the expectations are are positively stated. And if think about this, when you learned how to drive a car, they always said, "Okay, you're coming up to the corner, turn right." They didn't say, "Don't turn left." Right? You wouldn't learn, you know, use the break. Don't say don't use, you know, so you basically take it to a school like learning how to drive a
061car and you rule that out to behavior. A lot of the reasons, you know, things were teaching behavior, we weren't teaching it the right way. This positive expectation what you do and you keep that positive positive focus. The other thing that ties into a lot of our school students come to school trauma, right? They come from toxic home environments situations they come do and when you um negatively reinforce excuse me traumatized all you do is increase that. So one way to deescalate that and get student engaged and focused is to be positive with your expectations and positive with your reinforcement and that's how they respond to that. Yeah, I love it. I I so appreciate it. Thank you very much. You're welcome, Miss Martinez. You're singing my tune, Gil, and I just have a kudos
062to you because you have been working on this before the state and community actually integrated it into law. And so I want to thank you, data doesn't lie. You have been diligent in making sure that the state level of what this was integrated for, that was part of my framework. I appreciate you because we talked behind the scenes way before it even happened and you have taken this to the next level that TSU is actually being recognized for the efforts that you have made, Bill and I just want to openly thank you for that. Um the whole concept of restorative practice is so that we can diminish the school to prison pipeline along with integrating state bill 419 where we don't expel or suspend before we use everything on site first and you ran with
063that and you trained and you did everything the state wanted you to do and I want to thank you for that. Data doesn't lie. Well, thank you and I appreciate your support of our PBS restored practices. It's our framework. We want to continue it countywide. Thank you, Miss Ramirez. I just I wanted to kind of piggyback on what Miss Carlson was saying is what I'm hearing out there is that from kids. I know what is expected and you kind of touched on it of there's some u families that they don't really know what's appropriate to wait in line or to, you know, not speak out. So those expectations, it's like, oh, this is what it looks like and that is something that is really positive and um just that the staff and the teachers are
064jumping in and working together as a team. I think you can clearly see. So congratulations to your team and to really everybody they're doing. Thank you. Appreciate that. Any other questions or comments from the board, from the public? If not, what? Oh, I'm sorry. Good evening. Jennifer Collins, fifth grade teacher. Gil, I just have a question. The slide right before this has a series of literature. Is that training coming up for teachers? Is it a book study? You know, I I missed what the intent of all that is. These are book studies. This is the teacher right here. So these are our next steps. So these are books and study materials that we have. We have the administrative teams at the sites. We're going to collaborate together and put some of this together to provide
065more support. Okay. So it's coming down our way, right? Some of your teachers have reflected some of this you guys. I appreciate the clarification. These are summer. I just want to say in closing right here that I don't know some of you don't know me very well but I spent I started in Turlock in 1987 working group home foster family agency. So I spent seven years as a social worker counselor working with foster group home kids moving around you know making minimum wage whatever it was those days. I started in 1995 as a school psychologist high school. I covered Turlock High. I covered the junior high. I covered Rosemont. I was on the school site. I ran the SSDs, the 504s. I council kids and I've been doing until 2002. Since 2002, I've been doing
066this job. But I have to say in my whole career here in Turlock, I have never been more excited and more impressed with the work that's been done this last school year and the last two years, two years of progress that we've made. So, I'm really excited about this. and to know where we were and where we're at now. The difference is really amazing. Okay. And unfortunately, I'm old enough to have seen that. So, thank you guys. I'm going to go sit down. Thank you. Item 28. Good evening. Board President, board of trustees and David.

Are there any are there any questions from the public? Yes. community um would like to know a description of what you are exactly revising, what it it currently is and what your plans are to revising it to. We don't have a full description out. And again, um, under the Browns Act, we should have a 72-hour, uh, paper in front of us in order for us to review documents on what you guys are changing, especially when it comes to the UCP policy of, uh, addressing any complaint. We cannot just change the law because we want to change it. We have to go based on uh, why you're
076changing it and is it legal to do what you're doing. So, we just want explanation, please. Certainly, this is why we bring it to the board as an information item and then we bring it back later as action for approval.

We weren't giving this ahead of time and we don't know what you were changing. That's why it's just an information item tonight. So, 72 hours prior to your meeting. policies because I'm a concerned parent and I'm a sake. Absolutely. I'm glad you are.

Feel free to connect with if you have any questions. Thank you for clarifying that. Are there any other questions? If not, move on to board reports. Thank you, President Silva. Uh, I was able to attend um Hades Town at Pman High School and it was phenomenal. I would have loved to get to the lightning piece, but the names didn't work for me. And he he added another show on Wednesday. So, that's why I was able to go to Htown and um I think it was the best performance I've ever seen at Pitman High School. It was it was incredibly
078impressive. um musically and yeah, visually with the the sets and everything. I felt the impact of Prop 28. I really did the Prop 28 money adding um to arts because there was a budget for sets and costumes, people to help and musically Mr. Pardon um participated in that. Anyway, it was phenomenal. And then I spent Saturday, of course, with all of you and both of you uh working together to uh develop as a team. And I really look forward to the fruit from that work and having a governance handbook to guide our work together as we continue um to um seek the the best of students um and staff into USV. Well, I too intended both of those performances. I don't think I made it last year and they were really really well done. Um
079anytime you have high school kids singing and dancing and um it's just it was amazing. So very very much appreciated all the hard work that goes into you know and they thank the parents and the kids just phenomenal job. Um I am and I just a a preview um y'all attended the uh Saturday workshop. Um but I am not going to attend tomorrow. I think there's about four things I could be at tomorrow afternoon um for the uh the award ceremony that we're having and I'm just not going to try and do it. And I'd also like to thank um Nicole Gillies and her team at Croll. That hour went by, I swear in like 60 seconds. Yes, I'm sorry. The open house instead of 60 minutes. It was just like I'm like, "We're done.
080We have to go." So, but I really appreciate it. Lots of great things happening at Pearl. So, thank you. What a couple weeks of attending performances. They were amazing at starting with walnut. I mean that was so so many talented kids and to know the parents had stepped up. They transformed the cafeteria. They decorated everything. They they made costumes. My favorite was the be our guest song where the kids came out with plates and forks and knives. And then they have two casts um so that more kids can participate and um that was really um great too to learn that I went to um the lightning deep as well and that was wonderful the of model and that and also went to Haz Mountain was really really good. So I'm looking forward to next year
081but thank you Okay, my board report. Um, I attended the open house over at Cunningham with an and I just want to give her a shout out to her and her staff. Uh, there's just so much amazing goodness going on over at Cunningham. And no, you're not forgotten just cuz you're way out there. Trust me, it's noted. You You are doing an amazing job out there. And I didn't realize how high the population of autism and all those classrooms were just so welcoming from the little guys to the big ones. So, keep up the great work out there. I also too attended the uh the governance training on Saturday. um as a new board member, I am looking forward to serving and um excited, you know, for my next four years of service and how
082we can continue to better serve um DSUD families and stakeholders. Everybody right now is doing a tremendous job so far that I've seen. Um I attended the family information night with student panel and it was so ironic because the guest speaker comes from Fresno and he's married into my family. So that was coincidental and so I I didn't get to share that with Marie and um so that was good. Miss Little Riley, she was on stage and I was just so proud of her. Um all of you guys, all of you guys were just so impressive and um you guys did a great job. We also finalized the ALCAP and um I also was at E Academy and we finalized their ALCAP as well. So, we're on our way to finalizing and setting that off
083to Skoey hopefully with good faith. Um, I also helped out with the um food distribution. Uh, the Kana team was out there and I had fun with Patty and Rufus, their retired count security. They were fun to work with. Um, on that day when we had music going on, it was really fun. And then tomorrow I will attend the fitman scholar and staff recognition. Thank you. That is concluding my report. Well, yes, just like um everyone else, it's been a busy couple weeks. Um I attended uh Der and E Academy open house and so I really appreciated that. Um, I also went to Walnut for the Beauty and the Beast. To piggyback on what Patty said, it's just the parent involvement um that really made it over the top and the kids performance are just
084spectacular. Um, yes, there were a lot of special times for that. Um, different songs that I really like. Um, I also attended the Terlock High School Lightning Thief performance. I really liked the um the sets that they have. Very imaginative. Um, we are alive and well another year for LCAP. Thank you for all of the work that we have. I think uh everyone is doing a really good job. Um, I'm learning to really go by databased information. So, that's really important. Um also we attended the Turlock workshop uh governance team to set some guidelines for us. I attended um the P and Assyrian club celebration. So that was uh really fascinating. I really appreciate the fact that um our community celebrates our culture. You know, we celebrate who we are and the food is pretty
085good. So thank you Yeah. So, I I was able to attend Dennis Roll's open house. It was a great event. There was tons of kids running around having a good time. It was a beautiful evening. It turned out to be a fantastic weather for it. And uh it was well attended uh by the the students and their family members. Um and it was really just really good evening. I got to catch up with one of my former teachers again uh which was fun. Uh so that was really good great opportunity for me to attend an open house at Dennis Roll. Uh I also was at the Assyrian New Year celebration on Friday evening. Um you know it's it's always a special event when we get to celebrate culture that's a large part of our community
086and how diverse our community is. It's it's uh I always tell people you you could throw out every rule book, every you could ever think about when you come to Derlock. Our community is extremely diverse. It doesn't matter what part of the city you're from or what part of the culture you're from. It's extremely diverse community and it's it's wonderful to see our students celebrating their heritage uh with their parents, with their family members, and with some of our teachers and staff. So, that was that was absolutely wonderful. Uh and then one little fun note, I don't know if it still stands, but as of a couple hours ago, Tyler Sodrom, a Turlock High School graduate, leads Major League Baseball on home runs. So, he's got seven this year. So, Yankees and Aaron Judge Tyler's
087coming for the that that title. So, congratulations Tyler and the offense to a successful start this season. So, as always, I enjoy the open house that we can attend and uh Miss Martinez and I attended Cunningham with Miss Ells, great school. Keep up the good work. the um well and also you have teachers that you run into that you had I run into students that are teachers and that's the ones that I really appreciate. So that that really makes me proud when there are teachers at a good school. uh attended both the promo productions, Hades Town and the Lightning Thie and the thing that's most impressive about those productions is watching how hard those kids have worked to do what they do and then I can't help but think will we see their name and
