And uh we have uh Patriot Elementary in the house. BS is the student vice president. United States of America. to adopt the agenda. Couple comments this afternoon. Thank you. And recognition. We're going to start this evening, this afternoon with a musical performance by Rosdale Middle School. Thank you guys. Every year, um, we're going to play a piece that we didn't festival, but we are [Music] Thank you very much. That was fantastic. [Applause] This is my presentation. [Music] BS and I'm the president for Patriot Elementary. Tonight we we will be focusing on engagement. At Patriot, we are safe, organized, accountable, and respectful. Summer
002break this reconnecting with friends that I was not able to see over the summer. I also like I also like coming back from summer break because we got to go to My favorite part about he creatures. You guys ever heard this castle? Yes. All right, I'll sing a little verse. It starts with an S and it ends the T. It comes out of you and it comes out of me. I know what you're thinking, but don't call it that. Be scientific and call it scout. [Applause] What are the Patriot days? What are these? Patriot days are when kids with good behavior get to enjoy fun events and games on the yard. A few being like tug-of-war, soccer, uh cornhole, and even getting your face painted. Help me. What is the hall? Halloween parade, you might
003ask. The Halloween parade up in their costumes and walk around the entire school for other people to see their costumes. Patriot has a bunch of community events including father-son laser tag, mother son dancing, fatherdaughter dance, and mother daughter mingo. I get to hang out with my parents and after every event. We go to we get dinner and dessert. We wrap up the year with state testing, visiting the middle school day, sixth grade softball versus staff, and last day of school sixth grade parade. Like state testing was a lot easier this year because our teachers prepared us and we learned a lot more. Visiting Freedom was very fun because we got to see a few of the events they knew and talked about. Student council student council. I love being a student council because I got
004to go to the leadership conference and I helped plan events and I was being a leader for the younger kids. Thank you very much. So, moving on to Freedom Middle School. What was your favorite part of the year this last year? Um, I don't know. It was really fun year overall. [Music] Hanging out with friends was fun. Like playing out just a fun like events wise we did a lot of fun events. You you have your books picked out that you're going to read over the summer. Any other questions? Thank you very much. You're welcome. Next up, we have the principal of Patriot Elementary, Mr. [Applause] King. So, like like Owen said, Owen did a great job. He's done an amazing job leading uh Patriots student body this year. But tonight's presentation is going to
005focus on engagement and what that looks like in and out of our classroom. So, you might notice there's two staff members here tonight that look a little abnormal. Um, that's Otis and Oliver, our newest additions to Patriot. And we have two staff members that took it upon themselves to go through the entire training process. I didn't know what it, you know, took to this point where you could have animals on campus. Um, but Jill Franado and Shannon Kent, two of our teachers on campus, went through the process to get Otis and Oliver trained, certified, insured, and not only that, but introduced to the entire campus so that kids and staff members feel comfortable. Um, let's just say the impact has been um exponential. So, I I don't know if Jill and Shannon want to bring
006Otis and Oliver up so that the board can meet them. They're actually here tonight. And I I think we need to check the record books. This might be the first Rosedell Middle board meeting where an actual bulldog is here. But uh Otis and Oliver, you know what? They're great rewards when a students or a class is having a great day or a great week or a great month. But, you know, lot of kids on our campuses that need what I would like to call a reset. Um, they're having a rough morning, rough afternoon, maybe just an all-around rough day. And Jill and Shannon, um, I got to say this about them. They've never said no to me. I hope it never happens. But, uh, I've come to them and said, "Hey, I have a kid
007who's having a really, really bad. They spend a few minutes with Otis or a few minutes with Oliver and it's as if you see the student melt in front of your eyes. This the dog comes over, the kid is on all four in front of them and whatever was whatever need or thing was on their their mind, they've forgotten about it. They don't remember why they're upset or angry. Um, and that's what's really been great to see. Um, believe it or not, the impact with our adults on campus is is also great to see. When I have staff that come into the office and they see Jill and Shannon and their first comment is, "Oh, no Utisa or Oliver today." And it's uh it's kind of fun to watch that the adults on campus have
008really taken taken heart to what it means to have some additional staff members on campus. Um, our fifth and sixth grade teachers worked with KCSOS this year. Uh, Mary Lou Long, if any of you know her, she is incredible at what she does, but she came and worked with them to really bring a different approach to math instruction to where instead of us looking at just the formula and the solution, but really looking at how our students are solving, collaborating, working together, um, bring different lessons to life. Um the transformation's been amazing. Um seeing kids working together. Um working to find different ways to an answer, knowing that there's there's more than one way to get to an answer. And then watching them discuss um having math discussions to where they discuss their errors, they
009discuss what they did in class and then listen to the teachers talk about how they've noticed a change in their math instruction time. So that's that's been great to watch. And then on the other side of it, u when we talk about classroom positive behavior at Patriot, we've we had what was called the eagle the eagle slips or sore slips and they're great. They recognize kids that were soaring on campus being safe, organized, accountable, and respectful. But uh not every kid got recognized because we drew slips once a week and not every kid got their slip drawn. Some kids would would come up to me every week and go, "Why is my slip not drawn? been waiting for six weeks. So, Mrs. Melton, our dean, um her and I met and we met with our
010leadership team. Thought, okay, why don't we shift to having a store to where kids can earn tickets and everybody gets to participate no matter, you know, how many tickets you got. It's funny is it teaches kids to save. But probably the biggest thing that I've loved is kids save up with other kids to do things for each other. So, we've had kids who pull their tickets together to get a pajama party for their entire class to where their kid, their whole class can wear pajamas to school that day. Um, you've got kids that pull their tickets so that their friends can have lunch on the stage of that kind of fine dining boat or have lunch in the lounge or in this picture can can silly string a staff member. So, there's all kinds of
011tangible and non-tangible items. Um, I can't say is perfect and it has erased all behaviors, but it's helped. And you've got a lot of kids that have shifted their mindset to what am I not doing to what can I do to change my behaviors. Um, and it it is the picture on the left is our our pop room where we have um our air hockey table and I've lost more times at air hockey in the last three months than I can remember all my life. but it's playing kids who they saved up their tickets to play air hockey against a staff member and to watch them beat me. Um it's it's a lot of fun and those are just some of the ways that we've seen behavior change on our campus and we look forward
012to continuing to see things change. The other area is um just how staff has responded to different events around the community. Uh this we had about 40 students and five staff members that went and participated in the Steam Olympia a couple weekends ago. Several finished throughout the events, but it was just a great all-around event. A lot of times we hear about sporting events and the best way to describe this is this is the Super Bowl of using your brain. Um, so there were relays, math relays, there were um robotics challenges, there were on the-fly uh activities for kids to build things. Um, but watching the bottom right corner was hilarious. I got to tell you this quick story. So they're playing Manala against each other and it's it's timed. And the girl in in
013the right, she was winning by a lot. And her parents are sharing me the story. They said she kept trying to give marbles back to the other girl because she was losing and she felt bad for her. And and that those are the things that I love about these kind of events, the opportunities that teaches our kids how to be human with other kids uh in our community. And then when you talk about numbers, these are just some of the other impacts of when our teachers and staff are doing amazing things on campus. When Otis and Oliver are are here on campus, you're seeing um the impact to attendance. And I mean the and I checked this morning. We're actually higher than this. This was from about four weeks ago. Patriot is in in the
014attendance department. Kids are love their teachers. They don't want to miss out on what's going on on in or out of the classroom. And then chronic absenteeism. Um we all know that since the pandemic, we've had uh an issue with chronic absism. And this is Patriot Snapchat over the last three years. And if if you look three years ago, chronic absentee was at 25% of Patriot. Last year was at 11%. Right now, Patriots at 4%. And I credit that to the staff at Patriot doing everything they can, doing everything they can to keep kids at school and make them not want to miss um and make things fun and memorable. Kind of like what Owen was saying. The other missing piece is the the factor. You know, kids kids love being around their friends. They
015love being at a place that that feels safe for them and their friends. And I it's funny. I found this and I I just this is Patriots mission statement. You don't always read a mission statement, but it's funny. I highlighted this part. children first and how the people at Patriot, they put children first on a daily basis, whether it's coming to work early, staying late, um thinking of 27 different extended learning opportunities for students to participate in. Um and and this just an ending to our presentation on engagement is all the different opportunities happening on campus for staff, students, and community members, including Santa, to get involved with what's happening um at Patriot. That's it. As always, that's [Applause] it. A quick video that I made. Um it wouldn't be a present. I will say
016this, I did not edit any of the kids clips, so I just played it and let them say some raw things. Um, I asked them what they loved about Patriot. That was the only thing I asked them. And um, this is Patriot in a snapshot. Hey, thank [Music] you. It's true. You're a [Music] confident stand up and [Music] about you would see the biggest [Music] I truly buy you Cadillac. Whatever. I'm not ashamed to say [Music] What do you guys enjoy about Patriot Elementary? I enjoy trying new sports. I enjoy getting to see my little buddy creative activities about my teacher. What do you love about Patriot Elementary School? I like the teachers that all the kids help each other and they're really kind. Everybody is about Patriot. I love M. How about TK? Um
017um um playing with my friends. I love all that. And I love this [Music] place. I love this place. I time with my friends and just getting degrees. Patriot. Thank you, [Music] Mr. Come back. Absolutely. I I love it. One of the pictures, it went through really that comes out to the kindergarten loop every morning and they've just turned into our morning ballet slashreaders tunnel makers. But um I didn't no one told me when you school there's tears in the morning. Um and asking parents not to take their kids to class. It's going to be a tough ask. No one no one prepared me for those things. Middle school, you just get out of your car and go to campus. But um I would say that that's where some of the engagement starts. Those older
018kids making school not scary for the little kids to the point where the kids are jumping out of their cars like they're jumping out of a plane to parachute and it's like they're jumping into Patriot because they're ready. Best way I can describe it. So absolutely I'm ready for 25 26. question. Is Mr. Joe Bono in the house? We had a chess tournament at American Elementary and Mr. Bono is here to present the champions their trophies. Fantastic. Greeting board members and those of you uh in the audience uh today. So a couple Saturdays ago we did indeed have our American chess tournament. We had about 20 uh students come and participate in grades uh 3 through five. A small gathering that we look to build on as we go into the future. And uh we've
019asked uh our winners uh to come and uh present their uh trophies today to you. So starting uh from my left, our winner for the fourth and fifth grade section, Jordan Supino. in the middle there. Uh for our third grade winner for the third grade section, Jillian [Music] [Applause] Suino, if you think sports are competitive, the stories I hear from uh their mom about the chess games they have at home going back and forth is pretty amazing. And then last but certainly not least here on the is our overall winner. He went a perfect five-0. Did not lose a chess game the entire tournament. And that is uh Oliver [Music] Barry. And this was if I just take a few moments was a really fun experience. We've been working before school uh with the chess
020program and uh training them from very basic to no knowledge to where now uh if you have the chance they're going to be playing. They're using clocks. They're writing down their movements. And we've actually had people reach out from other schools uh in Kern County asking about if this is going to continue for next year and wanting to uh kind of build upon what we started here at American and maybe get a few more schools involved and kind of grow uh to hopefully maybe a second tournament and a few more players. So, just wanted to thank the board and our principal, Mrs. Kushman, for the opportunity to teach them. And if you have any questions that are ready to answer, the biggest question I have is Barry. I'd like third grade overall champion. [Applause] Congratulations
021there. I too have a question for the champions and my question is do you play chess with your parents at home or did you only learn at school Fantastic. Congratulations and thank you very much. And thank you for all the staff that helps with this. These type of extracurricular activities are fantastic. I love to see them. We have the recognition of the golden [Applause] Start first with Melissa Miranda. [Applause] So Melissa was nominated by our special education department. So Melissa Miranda taught the SDC mod severe science elective this school year. The classroom is composed of 51% general education students in the SDC mod severe classroom. Mrs. Miranda took the time to find out all of the special education students learning goals by collaborating with help her with evaluating what grade level would be appropriate in
022regard to teaching the science. strengthen the students skills to assist them with reaching their goals. This year, Mrs. Miranda seamlessly planned multiple ways of engagement, representation, and expression of science concepts while cultivating the classroom lessons and accommodating all students. She pays attention to all the kids skills, challenges, strengths, and what lessons activities promote the most participation and engagement. When it comes to the eighth grade general education students, she tied in lessons for remediation along with the NGSS stand that were taught during the school year. This allowed her eighth graders to recall prior knowledge of science concepts from elementary school or apply concepts taught this school year to scaffold their partners' learning during the class period. Both the special education and general education students are learning from one another. Mrs. Miranda shared that she has witnessed
023the truly wholesome and heartwarming spirit of joy and love that the SDC students contribute to soul. Mrs. Miranda embodies the district's vision which is for every student to be educated in an environment that is designed with intention and is inclusive. Her classroom is proof that it can be done. Congratulations and so well. We have Danielle Kushman. [Applause] Oh, look at that. She's even got lemons on her dress. So, Mrs. Kushman was actually nominated by her staff, and this is one of the first times in a long And we've actually had a principal receiving the gold medal award. So I am truly honored to nominate [Music] Daniely, fairness, and transparency in everything she does. She represents what it means to lead with both purpose and heart. What sets Mrs. Kushman apart is her unwavering commitment to
024the well. She genuinely prioritizes the needs of our staff, students, and families, ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Her approachable demeanor and open door policy fosters a culture of trust and respect. Communication and collaboration thrive in her presence, and relationships across our school grow stronger. Mrs. Mrs. Kushman is also passionate about educational excellence and embraces change with enthusiasm. She constantly explores strategies to enhance student learning and improve school operations. Whether it's implementing research-based practices, supporting teacher development, or using data to inform decisions. She tackles every challenge with a positive solutionoriented mindset. But above all, it is her compassion, compassionate leadership that truly shines. And Yelli inside joke. Danielle takes the time to understand the unique needs of her. She offers encouragement and supports that up uplifts our entire community. Her calming presence, clear
025expectations, and unwavering belief in each person. She leads not for recognition but out of a genuine desire to make a difference, inspiring others to grow alongside her. In many ways more than just a principal, her leadership has created a lasting positive impact throughout our school and beyond. For all these reasons, I wholeheartedly as well as I believe she deserves this recognition. Nancy Odire. Nancy Odwire is the epitome of a servanthearted person. She is dedicated and compassionate presence in the learning center, always ready to lend a hand wherever is needed. Her warmth and genuine care for every individual, students, staff members, and parents created a safe and loving environment where all are feel supported and secure. At the same time, Nancy provides the structure, guidance, and consistency that help students grow and thrive. Her passion for
026helping children is unmistakable and her impact on their lives and on the entire Rosedale North community is truly has served over 20 years as an aid in special education. Let's give her a round of applause. Doesn't do this job for the money. She has her other full-time job for that. No, instead she explains that she does this because it brings her joy each day love and she couldn't picture herself doing anything else. Nancy consistently goes above and of description. She loves deeply, gives generously and serves selfishly. Whether com comforting a student, encouraging a colleague, or parenting with a parent, partnering with a parent, Nancy does it all with grace, humility, and unwavering commitment. She is reliable, hardworking, and determined, embodying the very spirit of what it means to be a team player and a community
027builder. Nancy is the village in the phrase it takes a village. And the Rose North family is incredibly fortunate to have her and this is why she's a [Music] [Applause] cool Ready? [Applause] We got to announce this to Brandy uh the other day. She had most precious reaction. So cheers. So Brandy has been with us as an EDC lead a 2018 second to none. She is one of the most dedicated employees in our district. Many days coming in or skipping lunch, all without asking for anything in return. Randy is loved by all of her students, parents, and staff at Patriot due to the bond she builds with each one of them. Not only does she keep the kids busy with EDC is a busy, chaotic place, especially at Patriot with 220 students. But Brandy runs
028it with ease without ever showing signs of frustration. her calm, mild manner in dealing with the most difficult of children. She's always willing to try new things, especially with her garden, which is always full of beautiful fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Even when they get mistaken for a weed and are accidentally removed by the ground crew, Brownie never reacts. She just goes and buys new flowers to replace them. She chooses to show grace in all situations, big or small, which makes her a true gem to have in our district. Her commitment to excellent is evident as soon as you walk through the building or playground. She is so very deserving of this award and exemplies exemplifies the best of school district. You really do. [Applause] our golden apples. Every year we um honor two certificated people
029and two classified. And then most importantly, we also honor two community members because without our community, it would be really hard to do this job each day and every day. So, we would like to first honor Todd Davis. [Music] Todd Davis is a parent, classroom volunteer, and PTC board member at Middle School. Mr. Davis has been highly involved with all things Centennial for the past nine years, first with his daughter Charlotte and now with his son Oliver. Mr. Davis is multiple times per week throughout the school year, always working to help in any way he can. He has special talents for planning and organizing events, volunteers, helping in multiple classrooms and working at every PTC event. He also has a very special touch in photography, capturing the special moments at the school. He and his
030wife also spearheaded the centennial year. Most notably, Todd Davis has gone to Campke Keep with his daughter volunteering when we needed additional male counselors and then incredibly this year at the last minute due to a need they had to find a male counselor. He has already told our sixth grade team that he'll be ready to go again this coming year in fourth grade. What is most incredible is that while Mr. Davis loves Camp Keith, he says that he could not imagine kids not being able to go because of a lack of volunteers. He sees the positive impact and lifelong memories that are made there and wants to make sure that all sixth grade kids get a chance to go. This sums up Mr. Davis. He is dedicated, passionate, committed, and truly exemplary. Words cannot describe
031how much his time and dedication have positively impacted students at Centennial, Roastell Middle School, and even American elementary. And this is why he is a golden apple. [Applause] Last but certainly not least, [Applause] has been an outstanding community partner to our school district and his generosity and dedication to student safety exemplifies the spirit of this honor. During election days when our school campuses are open to the public, Chris stepped up without hesitation. He generously donated temp temporary fencing to help us maintain a secure environment for our students and staff. More than that, Chris personally donated his time to set up and take down the fencing, ensuring everything was in place before and after the events with no disruption to school operations. Chris consistently makes our school district a priority and always follows through when we
032need it. His actions show a level of commitment that goes far beyond Whether it's offering his time, resources, expertise, Chris is someone who can count we can count on without question. He's the kind of person every school community wants on their side. Reliable, thoughtful, and deeply committed to the well-being of others. His contributions reflect a genuine partnership that strengthens our schools and uplifts our entire district. For these reasons and more, Chrissa Mick is truly deserving of this recognition. So, next up, we're going to move up to our retirements And we only have a few um staff members want to um honor our people that so but first oh our first retirement is Irma. So is Irma is here. So Irma just decided last week that is going to retire. So, your clock is on order,
033my dear. So, uh, Irma has been with us for 22 years of dedicated service as a custodian at Del Rio Elementary. So, can you tell us a little bit about what you're going to do in retirement? I'll find some coffee. [Music] Next up, we have Diana Cable. This is a hard one. Diana and I actually started our careers together at uh Del Rio teaching together and then when I moved over to and now our title 32 [Applause] years have a couple of things to share with us that was um kindergarten. Um but before I I started where I met my next people ask me what I'm going to do when I retire. May I say mom who's here a better wife to my husband Kevin, a better mom to my five daughters, three of whom
034are here tonight. A better grandma to my almost 13 grandkids. They are the light of my life here. Do not live here in Bakersfield. The couple live on the coast, but they live in where it says Winona up there. That's Minnesota. That's where my other babies live. And that's we're going to spend a lot of time in our retirement. I'm going to buy a new house there and spend the reverse of this appreciate all you guys coming out my family. Love you so much. I get to be a veteran. Well, you could never be a better teacher. [Applause] Hudson, another person I feel like I started my career with. So, 27 years of dedicated service in Rosedale in 35 years. You still look like you're 25. And you want to tell us a little bit
035about what you're going to do in retirement? Maybe the next slide will help me. Um, so can I just read that a little about my time in Rosedale? I'm so thankful for the 27 years I was employed in the Rosedale Union School District. I started by teaching third grade, then second grade American built, and then getting to open the 2006 was a life of my career. I've worked with the best students, parents, and staff anyone could ever I got the chance to teach future moms, dads, teachers, police officers, firefighters, hockey players, and an NFL quarterback. So, how cool is that? But I am most grateful that I got to be my son, J. Teachers, my dream come true, and now I did. I want to new dreams and new adventures in second grade. and peek
036out to be in my class. We asked Rob if he could be in my class. So that was really fun. So how plan to spend my time more time with my family kind of what Diana says daughter. So hopefully my mom's here too from Iowa today. So and then um I'm gonna try to teach Pilates. So I'm working on that. I passed an anatomy class. [Music] [Applause] has 12 years of dedicated service as a special education That is a really special job. Thank you so much. And you want to tell us a little bit about what we're going to do? as a special education center. My husband enjoying your Do you have a a vacation spot that you're headed to first? [Applause] We've got one more. Mr. Jerry [Applause] though. 20 years of dedicated service.
037I know I hired you. Yes, I hired you and we kind of started our careers together as well and Irma. Y you know when you know everybody was hired by Jamie, but I think we're now getting to where everybody was was hired by me and John. Well, tell us a little bit. Uh, you retired earlier this year. Yes. Tell us a little bit how you've been spending. Well, I've already been on several vacations. I uh I got I got to walk out in September, so that was excellent. And now I'm just working on my old truck and and in the process of buying another older hot rod and fixing those up. And occasionally you might see me at some car shows this summer. That's what I like to do. And uh that's what I'm hoping
038to keep doing. Well, thank you Jerry for all your [Applause] service. And I think that was all that was able to come tonight, but we'll just uh also honor our other retirees. uh of service, fourth grade teacher at Centennial. Diana Given, 28 years of dedicated service, teacher at Independence, most of those in kindergarten. And right next to her, her partner Kiger, 32 years of dedicated service as a teacher at Independence. And Adrienne Noble retired a little bit earlier this year, uh 23 years as a Shill, 23 years of dedicated service to instructional aid at American Elementary. And Karen Campbell, 31 years of dedicated service as a special education teacher at Patri Elementary. 11 years of dedicated service and I believe those are our retirees this year. It's a total of 250 years of service that
039those people provided. Let's give them a round of applause. got more fun to come. You don't know. Thank you all for being here tonight. Thank you. On 3.4, the staff reports. We'll start with uh Hello. for staying here with us tonight. Um, a lot going on at the moment. We obviously have budget plans and all that good stuff. What what that impact what that impact will on our budget for next year. Um so looking forward to Yeah. So, currently we're kind of hearing that and you know being able to balance the budget ending our school year. So, we're working on your end as well this summer. We ended up moving summer school from those trying to get those So really everybody's kind of ramping up so everything looks nice. Currently right Get some I think
040we're And then probably next week or the week after policy update for a while. We wrote it. So, we're just working campuses. So, um I did a survey. We had a couple here. Nothing like overwhelming, but um I did a survey with our principal to find out what types of um vehicles I guess have been um brought to school. Um when I was a regular old bicycle, so um things have changed since then. Um and you know, I'm like driving around the district like in the morning, dropping my own kids off at school. districtwide. It doesn't It's not a lot of students. It's just kind of a few scattered in each school site, but we have about 12. Well, on the day that we did the survey, I asked the bike racks and look, so
041I'm sure it might vary depending on the day. We had about 12 electric bicycles at five of our sites. The four sites did not have any electric bikes. We had about 10 electric scooters at We had 14 regular scooters at five of our sites and we have four skateboards total at two of our sites. So you can see it's just a few probably at each school site. Um some of the comments that we've gotten we have did talk to our district and got some feedback there. Um some of the comments that we got um from you know our admin team as well as our district advisory is that most students that ride something to school are riding a regular old bike. Um scooters and skateboards are not allowed at some of our school sites. Um
042and then as um the speed obviously but also the speed of the initial takeoff. They can go pretty quick as are taking off. Um, and that there is a preference to not allow any motorized bicycles or scooters. Um, so as we looked into it, we worked with I looked at the vehicle, worked with um, Officer Ripple as well to kind of find out what the law is. Um, and we found out that um, SK the skater skateboards those um and locking them up. So that is the reason why they are not allowed at this to keep them and having skateboards in classrooms or not having a place under the vehicle code. Um there isn't 16 years old and older. So it is not legal for any of our students to ride a motorized scooter. It's
043that easy for us to say they're not allowed because they aren't allowed by law. Um [Music] so for bicycles, that's a little more complicated. So there are class one and two um ebikes um and those are defined under to equipped with a motor that assists only when the rider is pedaling. That's a class or a throttle motor which is a class two and they both have to only have a maximum assisted speed of 20 miles an hour. Um, so all riders have under 18 would have to have and fastened helmets and the class 3 ebike is equipped with a motor that assist rider is pedaling which is the same but this one is just a faster speed of 28 miles hour. those you have to be 16 years old or older. So, um the other
044concern is how do we know which one is which? How do we know if it's a class one or a class three? So, you know, talking to our staff, um I think the general consensus was that we would like to only allow regular pedal bicycles. um and not continue to not allow the scooters or the skateboards because of storage purposes. Um and you know, no electric scooters or electric bicycles. On what we've learned, it really seems like it would impact very few students. Um, but electric disappears from our bike. all the other points you made. I agree. That's a good idea. to um what can happen if they start out. It's just I think it's too [Music] risky. We have animals on campus now. It's hard enough right now in the middle of the street.
045They can't get the basics down. I don't know what kind of disaster you know into the whole picture. So I as well motorized So, just a couple of things to um update you and TK through 8th grade students and 93 preschoolers for a grand total of 6,227. So that is seven up from last month but still a little bit uh lower than we were this year and then you know at the end of this school year but it's not a significant number um especially with our chronic absenteeism and our ADA going up that us um significantly. So I would say we are um holding steady and projections for next year are still right around you know the same number. So looking good. Um we will showcase or not showcase but um let you know what
046we are thinking in terms of adding with our LCAP. So that is coming later on the agenda. Um and we'll have those recommendations. Francis gave state testing. So wrapping that up.

The educational code 42141 compliance as it relates to workers compensation. Do we need to hear about that? do my name is a presentation of the LCAP plan recommendations for 2526. So as you can every year um we and parents and students and we get input cap. So, this will be year two of our three-year plan that we wrote last year. And just a reminder that this is based on our unduplicated student count. And those students
051are our foster, homeless, socioeconomic, and English learners. Um, which is helping us a little um because the more So, typically we have been hovering over the past couple years 2%. Um, so if these um if all of our students show up next year and qualify, we're projecting that to be so these are all just projections that we have. Um, so our revenues um approximately 5 be a total part of our LCFF. So that will be the supplemental fund. So uh we're looking to increase our So $500,000 sounds like a lot of money, but when you're talking about I'm sorry. Yeah, $500,000. I'd love to have $500,000 in an $80 million budget. um if we can do to increase support um at our school sites with that money. So uh just a reminder that this is
052our LCAP planner. It is our focus with three um guiding goals of student outcomes, conditions of learning and engagement and stakeholders and our major themes this year. So we asked two questions um what what's going well and and what can we improve. So really the areas of celebration was the engagement that we um put in activity aids um our safety uh celebrations of and attendance um training that we did this year and then new or increasing continue to focus on state safety um support for development and So over the years we've added um student outcome actions and um we in our survey we asked is there anything that you know we staff and our stakeholders have um continue to support uh these actions. So we would be recommending to continue to support uh the actions
053that are in our student outcomes already. Many of these have been employed upon layer. Um same with conditions of learning. Um to continue uh our current uh actions in um conditions of learning as well as continuing to uh add to and and keep this year the biggest thing that we've added, this is where we've really been adding over four years. Um, we've added our school resource officer and um, our campus supervisor moved to a district level position to help with truency and uh, safety and getting some consistency across our campuses. Um, social workers, we've funded three social workers and also put a school psychologist on every single campus. U, we added behavior intervention assistance So, we've got one in every school um and two at largest school um and then adding our yard and activity
054aids in our so we had a little bit of a bump up in funds um last year. So we really um identified those were the areas of need and and increased and support on all of our school sites. So what we're recommending um for this year uh to you for um public comment in June and then um also voted on in June. But in goal one, um, we some of our LCAP funds and our ELO we have over the years to help, um, some of the increasing costs for Camp Keep, like Mr. Davis, we want all of our students um, that want to go to Campke Keep to be able to do that. So, um, Campke keep does continue to increase We want to keep that same price that we've set. So, we are recommending
055that we use some of our EOP funds and our LCAP funds to cover about 40% um of the costs of camp and keep the price um where it has been. what we would love to do over the next to fund all of that for our students but right now we're just not able to do that. Um but want to make sure that every kid that wants to go to camp keep can um in conditions of learning um we want to increase our safety by that has also been a recation from CISK as well. Um, and that was safety and and the use of cameras and then uh special assignment for tail one instruction which we actually talked about last month. Um, and then goal three um in in engagement um are we want to have
056our school resource officer here um every day this week. Currently they work she works 410 um for Bakersville city. They are changing that next year. So it will be the school resource officers. Um out of those um four 10 um we have Norris to share her. Um we don't want to other than for um truency because we do share um with them. So this is officer Ripple will stay on as the SAR for truency for Norris and Alba um her um to that fulltime um with us and um so now we'll need to split fund that with LCAP. So when we um agreed to to do that, when we added this as an action a year ago, it was completely funded out. So we knew that we were going to have to as that grant
057gets spent, we're going to have to cover some of her costs through the LCAP, um which was the plan last year. So now we'll be starting to fund um those two positions, the resource officer and the campus supervisor part fund it from the ECAP so that in three years we can fully fund those positions and we would not have to um eliminate them. We're also um recommending that we increase social workers. So the um the recommendation of number of social workers to students is something that we'll probably never be able to do because I don't think any school district would be able to do that. But right now our school social workers are split one per every three schools. So they really can only focus on those students that are really like in that tier
058three. um and students that need some support um in tier 2. So what we would like to do is hire at least two more social workers so that we can have social workers one for each for two schools. So rather than one and a half days a week at each school, they would be two and a half days um at each school. So that would help reduce that ratio. So, um we're we're projecting to um we're wanting to hire two more social workers. Um and then no classified behavior support. So, when we added our BAS a couple years ago, um consequence was that um we were not able to fill our behavior aid positions. to a lot of our behavior aids because it is it was less hours and it was lower on the pay
059scale. A lot of those went into that BIA position and we are still um there is still a need for us to have one- on-one behavior aids for some of our students. Um and so we are working with uh CSEA to create a new job um that would be six and a half hours. So it would be like a behavior specialist um to where we could deploy to go out and work with students um one on- one side by side um to increase that support uh with those students and then eventually pull that support back. So, we're looking at um we used to have six behavior aid positions. So, we'd like to look at six behavior specialists um that will be um supported through our LCAP to um help with those students that that really
060need it. And then um we want to increase our um N sports um are increase that and cross country and we're looking at a couple of other sports. So we do uh help with that 50% matching of paying for um our coaches and our site supervisors. So, um, because sports, we're going to need to, um, increase some of that funding through the El. So, these are our recommendations and we'll bring those back for public comment next month. Thank you. I've got a couple questions. Um, we helped fund CE in the past. We have 40% 40% for every student. Some students are still going to pay full full, but we are we are partially funding everybody that goes. It's expensive. Yes. Resource officer.
