I am pleased nominate the eighth grade team, Mr. Papoka, Miss Dalton, Miss Klene, and Miss Luanz for the Hindog Award for December. In an effort to implement the B USD model of instruction and the seven learnings towards indigenizing school practices, this team collaboratively designed an interdisciplinary project that provided meaningful culturally responsive learning opportunities for all students. The project integrated ELA math, science, and social studies standards around environmental awareness and leadership. In ELA, students analyze traditional stories and modern environmental texts to
026determine theme, character, and the point of view. In math, students created and graphed linear equations, inter uh interpreted slope and intercept in context, and represented real life relationships. The science component focused on how energy and waves impact climate and how geological and climate changes affect the desert ecosystem. In social studies, students examine civic responsibility in the role of governmental, presidential, and tribal leadership in addressing environmental change. Through strong collaboration, the team created an authentic learning experience that culminated in students sharing their knowledge with family members and staff, strengthening connections between school, home, and community. The work of Mr. Papoka, Mrs. Dalton, Miss Klene, and Miss Luanz reflects the core values of himog through collaboration, cultural relevance, and student centered instruction.

030the board, uh thank you so much uh for being here again. Uh again, >> we have a presenter today that is going to be can you hear us? Okay, Mr. D. >> Yes, okay. Can everyone hear me? >> Nice and clear, sir. So, you you are um now ready to go. Take it away. >> Uh thank you. Uh good evening governing board members and administr this listen and hear about the results 30th 2025. There's four documents that were presented to you in your board packets and I wanted to go through each one of them just very briefly to give you the high the audit results and just to kind of the audit process. Uh so the audit is year-long process where we start summer usually around May, June or July. We come out to the
031district and we do testing over your federal program USFR compliance uh at a lot of cash receipts, accounts payable, invoices, payroll transactions, federal uh documents, as much done as we can during year. We're And then we come bar is filed in October or November start testing the account balances where we're tying out the district's expenditures uh looking at accounts payable actions again censes and beginning fund balances get done by the end of December uh so we can file for the award certificates of financial And um the first document that I wanted to call the comprehensive report that's the large document that was within the packet this is where financial statements are it's 90 pages one of them including our audit and here we issued for the ending June 30th 2025 we issued a unmodified So
032that's the best type of opinion that can issue on the financial. I also that June 30th, 2024 that the district earned the certificate of financial reporting period end and then these reports will to earn the uh certificates uh for this period as well. I think the first year in a couple years that the district was able certificates. Um so I just want to make sure to that out. Uh for the ending 2024 the awards were received and we're awards have been submitted for for 2025. So within that large document I opinion letter um that's around page starting on page letter again we gave a clean modify I'll go through this pretty quick um and and I'll take questions at the end and you can kind of um then after the opinion is what's called the
033management's discussion and analysis that's a highle overview of uh the different changes from 24 year 25. After the management disc analysis are the basic financial statements followed by the footnotes to the financial there's required supplement information that trend of 10 years of this information I pages where I would re to the management's discussion and anal analysis that'll overview of what are some major changes from the previous year to the year under audit. And then if you want to look some historical text of information, the back annual comprehensive report gives you a lot of information so you can see the trends and the effects of the cash balances, liabilities, revenues and expenses over period. Those schedules are around page of the financial the second document that I want to go through is what's called the single
034audit report. So, as part of our test work, we need to test federal programs because the district had greater than $50,000 spending. And so, we need to test federal programs, the internal controls over the school district. And during that testing, we noted there was no material weakness or significant deficiencies in internal control. And then within the federal programs audited the material weaknesses identified this year, but we did have that we had to report as it related to making sure that the count between what got reported on an application for with some of the support. So again materialism but we'll be at in future years to make sure what's being reported matches with in document. The other thing to note in this report is that in previous year we had a finding that reconcile cash reconciliations
035and that fully corrected. I wanted to go through was question there. >> Yes, I can hear you. Yeah, let me call this number then. Okay. Is that better? Can you hear me? >> Okay. I'm just getting some feedback on my end, but um I'll I'll deal with it for right now. Um so the last report that I wanted to go through was a uniform system of financial records compliance questionnaire. So what we do is we go through 18 different sections. It's about over a hundred questions and we look at anything from budgeting, accounting records, cash and revenues, expenditures, student attendance reporting, and we did we provided a summary page of some of the different recommendations or findings that we found during the current year, and those are presented at the beginning of the USFR compliance
036questionnaire document. So, I'm not going to go through each one of these findings. um they're they're fairly small things and we're not noticing a lot of continuing findings from year to year. So, you know, one of the things we found is that cash receipts not being deposited timely. Something that we see routinely within expenditures. There was one invoice where we didn't see a m a receiving report maintained and then several small things in student attendance reporting. But overall we're seeing improvement as we look at fiscal year 24 to fiscal year 25. The last report that we have presented is what's called the governance communication. This is just a document that we're required to provide saying that we're independent of the school district. We didn't have any significant difficulties during our audit process. And then we
037also document any new accounting standards that were implemented. And this year there was one related to compensated absences for the acred vacation or sick leave that got calculated differently than in previous years. So this new accounting standard was implemented and recorded as part of the financial sitting. Uh those are the four different documents I wanted to go through. I know you uh had some uh issues hearing me, but the couple things I wanted to reiterate is that we had a clean unmodified opinion for fiscal year 25. Um in the previous year, the district received awards for certificates of excellence and financial reporting and with very minimal findings with no material weaknesses reported. And then I'll open it up for any questions. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thanks for the time. Thank you. 500,000. The district
038paid 193 and the project total was 693,000. With that money, um we installed 205 Verata security cameras, 18 Veraricotta environmental sensors, 18 Veraricotta door buzzer systems, and eight Algo IP intercom speakers. So those are the technologies we installed. I just want to just make sure to be very clear. The environmental sensors are what we call vape sensors. We put those in restrooms and things to and they just detect what's in the environment, moisture, things of that nature to alert principles or site evidence. All right. So, I'm going to talk a little bit about uh some more of the grant one submission. Bd replaced 80 existing security cameras at school campuses from manufacturers such as Panasonic, Axis, Geo Vision, DLink, and a few others. Additional cameras have been placed or have been added to better cover
039campuses focusing on the entry and exit points. So you'll see a strong focus of those cameras in those areas. Uh cameras have been added to transportation facilities and district office. Uh four of the door buzzer systems which are the systems we use to keep the doors locked at the schools where parents can have buttons, you know, the button to come in and be admitted to the office. Um, we added four new ones. Um, and in, uh, by installing an additional door buzzer system in the Indian Oasis Middle School, High School, the Sunrise House, uh, the district office, and the secondary B office building. All right. Um, I want to talk real quick because there was a there was one piece that came with this. Uh, a lot of these technologies, we all hear AI and
040there were some analytical pieces that came with this system that we purchased. So, I wanted to talk about that piece real quick. um AI based video analytics supported by uh cutting they help support us by cutting investigation time for example if there is a fight a student is being bullied or a person with a sharp object etc. The software will simplify investigations with intelligent face detections uh selecting a a detected face or uploading an image can help us find that person quickly filtering by attributes like clothing color gender and facial matches we can do motion plotting so we can kind of see where people move throughout the buildings camera. It allows us if we do if we're looking at a video and we see somebody, it'll tell us all the other cameras and what time
041it saw those people on. Um, selecting a region of interest within the camera's field of view. So, if this camera, for example, saw Reuben here and Reuben walked away, it would it would it would have that as an event within that one frame of the camera. So, it makes it really easy to find. Um, we can instantly replay videos and view detected person trajectories as in see which way they're going in a building or which other areas they might be headed to and toggle between individuals and their corresponding path. So, it can show two people in the room walking in a different direction. We can pick click on the one person, it will show us where. So, one thing I just wanted to note here is just a note from the manufacturer. This is something
042we were really really serious about when picking a solution that had these features is a manufacturer that again they state in their their terms and conditions. They will not sell personal information to third parties. Use personal information for any other purposes other than which they originally collected with the first purpose to provide further information. Essentially they're using they'll only use our data to improve the product within our instance. So, um, and there's a lot more information on that that we can go into if we need to. Um, I did want to talk specifically since we're already talking about the privacy notes. Um, I did want to put up some key points of the surveillance technology that we put in. Um, and this was all part of our video surveillance policy that the board also adopted.
043I have a link in there too at the end of this slide. If you all want to see that, I can bring it up. Um but cameras will be shared with agencies specifically uh ton police department fire department only during an emergency. The video feed will only be live. No recorded video will be accessible in the event something like that happens. Um BD staff will not export video to or will export video only to authorized agencies listed above. Videos will not be shared with anyone um unless there's an emergency of course and faces of persons not involved will be blurred if law enforcement agency's request to view a video with a member of the BSD security staff. Um air quality sensors uh will capture vape events in selected restrooms. We talked about that a minute
044ago. And we also have a pretty lengthy agreement that every staff member that accesses this system has to sign. And it's very um I do kind of want to bring that up and just show you all real quick what that looks like. Um but this is there's there's a non-disclosure agreement in here as well as a video um electronic use of electronics and instruction. And then the last part of this is our surveillance technology policy. So anybody that ever accesses the system or is given access even if it's just to view one one camera or one point of this system has to sign this policy. So um and just note that it's a very serious um you know essentially if somebody tries to record a video with their cell phone like in the background or
045something that is that is an offense that's mentioned in here that is grounds for such as termination. So I just wanted everyone to know that that that's the piece of privacy is one of the most important things that I'm you know trying to ensure happens throughout this project. So let me go ahead and go back here. All right. So we're going to talk about grant submissions number two and number three. So we did submit two more times for this grant. We've essentially submitted for the last three years. Uh these two phases are not done yet. So uh so phase so these submissions were February 2024 and June 25. We already have the awards for both grants. So we got an award in July 24 and October 25. We're p we're currently finalizing the scope of
046work for that project. And I'll talk about the pieces that are involved there. You're going to see 100 at least 162 door control systems. That just means like hard access doors or electronically controlled doors. Um 32 additional two-way radios. 330 intercom speakers and forac communication system which I'll talk more about in just a minute 90 panic buttons and there are some this last piece I wanted to emphasize this piece was mandatory to qualify for the grant so we had to purchase the handheld weapon detectors if we didn't put those in the scope we wouldn't get the grant so those are really at the district's discretion whether we choose to use those or not I can't really speak on that piece that's just one of the pieces that was required for the grants to get the
047approval. Um the award amount for the two is $985,000. The district amount will be 346 and the project total will be 1.3 million. So next all right so I wanted to talk to you about door control systems. So, Verata door control as just a cloud-based system that allows us to grant um access to buildings with either a card. We can schedule doors to be opened at certain times. So, as in all of our key entries into the primary buildings, they can all be scheduled to be unlocked from 6 to 6:00 a.m. to 400 p.m. And they automatically lock after 4 p.m. And nobody has to go around with the key and actually lock those doors. Um, it tracks in real time who's using those. So if somebody walks through a door that with their card,
048it puts a time stamp on that person enter the building at X time. Um and it also ties into the video surveillance system and they kind of work hand in hand toident to help us identify who's going in and out of key areas. And there of course there is a link here on that presentation if you have time. Uh this takes you directly to all of the information related to the door technology vendor we've selected for that. We have the vendor selected, but we have not finalized all the final doors that are going to have the technology and what types of readers and everything will be on each door. We're working on that right now. So, all right. The next piece, um, this is Informiccast. So, this is the piece that ties all the communications
049together. So, this ties into the card access system, the video surveillance system, and our paging system, which are IP speakers. You probably saw that earlier. I had 330 I think IP speakers on there. Those are all the intercom speakers in all the classrooms. What this system allows us to do is put in pre-recorded messages on the intercom system. So if we go into lockdown, nobody has to get on the intercom and say lock down, lock down. We just essentially can go in the app and press the lock down button. It will send an automated broadcast over the system that's pre-recorded to initiate that lockdown. Same with a fire drill. Um just any scenario we choose, we can pre-record and put that in there. And we can also from That's also going to allow us to
050control and lock down the entire school. If we if there's an emergency, we need to lock the school down. You can hit a button within that app and it locks all the doors essentially. So, it gives us it's all customizable. We haven't built any of that out yet, but that that functionality will be built once that project is in motion. So, so and I did put two screenshots in here. Um there is an option to have a physical panic button which is a single button you see on a lanyard and there's also the option to have it on a mobile device such as an iPhone or Android phone. So you don't have to do panic buttons. We could just do it on the mobile phones. So um and it doesn't have to be given to
051everybody. This can just go to administrators go to some you know if you choose to do all teachers it'll be all teachers of course but that is built into the scope of work if that's what we choose to do. Um, All right. I just wanted to u talk about the um the informcast solution a little bit more and just kind of show you what workflows would look like within that system if they were set up. So the panic button, a user such as a teacher uh staff member security taps a panic button in the cast mobile app will panic button. The Informiccast server triggers uh to the cloud uh the notification engine. That system matches rules for the type lock down, a medical emergency, fire alarm, whatever that might be, and then it can broadcast
052over all of these different mediums. So, the really nice thing about technology now is we're merging all of our communication platforms. You know, we have so many options now. So, we can push uh desktop computer popups. We can send messages over the intercom. Any of our digital signage TVs can also have something displayed. We can send mass text messages to all of the staff. We can send mass emails and we can shop notifications on mobile devices. So that means it's pushed to your mobile device through a notifier, which I I don't really trust those and I'll just go out of the box because if we put something on everybody's cell phones, those end users, those cell phone owners could actually turn the notifications off. So that's just why what you're seeing with this system, this
053broadcast system, is we're trying to push communication out on every medium possible to ensure that every single person involved in an emergency gets the alert. And it's not just over one type of system. It goes over everything. So, the chance of somebody missing that alert is going to be much less with that uh notification out going to so many meetings. All right. One of the the last things I saw that um we wanted to share with everybody is what the reporting requirements are for the grant. So, really specifically what we have to do to stay in compliance for the funding before, current, during the project, and after that project. So I included all of that information here. We do have to report quarterly and track the use of the funds. Um we have to provide
054some um measurable progress towards the goals we set within the grant. We do have to give out a closeout report and um we do need to ensure compliance and an ongoing monitoring you know situation where we will be monitored and they will likely just check to see that we're using the technology as described and then of course optional feedback. process, we could provide additional feedback to the program as far as what we went through to get the funding and what requirements we had to see, you know, to help the program progress. Are there any questions? >> Questions from the board. >> Mission [clears throat] reporting is that um from here forward or whenever the grant is received forward Yeah, it's actually during the process of funding the grant and after. So, and we're also regardless
055of we have to report regardless if we spent the money already or not. So I think on the year 24 we've already had to report twice and we're pretty much we have three years to spend the money from the data. >> And again this is this is a districtwide I'm really presenting for you all today due to the amount of technology that is within the grant but this is purely safety emergency response. other players in the district that are involved. But I just wanted to really speak since it's very very technology heavy. I just want to make sure you know I've made a point in this process to ensure I fully understand all the technologies that are coming in and what you know what risks we have with those, you know, where it helps where
056it might you know no technology is perfect but you know I will say that we are really seeking out proven and practical technologies. We're not we're not going with something that's directly out of box. for example is the industry standard in notification products now. There's probably 20 others but Informiccast is the most becoming one of the most adopted security hardware platforms in the industry too. So there's really two key players in the hardware. It's there's there's requires a lot more hardware and servers. they are kind of moving like but it also does it it really puts a dependence on the technology too and it's something that I feel strongly that our technology can support the infrastructure to support it so so that's one thing too I wanted to speak on it's not in a slide
057but that's just something I wanted to add is that you know we wouldn't adopt technologies that our system Uh yeah. So um as far as accessible users security for example at the secondary school has access the office managers have some access principles have access but you'll find that there are users like the office managers most of them only have access to live video. So an example, so in the district office, we have you see on that door buzzer at the front door. We pretty much give everybody in the building access to see the live video on that. So they can let somebody in if there's not somebody at the front desk, but nobody, you know, most all those users do not have access, you know, >> and I did want to mention the We've only
058turned on audio where the public's actually coming. That was a subject that came up when we adopted the bar cameras. Where are we going to turn audio? Where are we not? And really what you'll read in that if we go back to the video surveillance policy, it's really all on Ruben's discretion to make those decisions on who gets what access to turn on or off. that policy states. So we can't just as it oh we want this camera under one person based on the way the policies [clears throat] question to the buses. Are all the buses actually equipped? >> No, not with uh not with America cameras. So, they're not under this project. Although, I just did find out two weeks ago that this vendor that we're using has cameras that we're using. So, that's
059something that we could look at in the future, but currently the vehicles, I think most of those are on cameras and other one thing you probably saw in there and I can go way back. We one of the nice things about this project is we got to move to a consistent platform. We were using so many different model cameras before. It was really hard to get everything make everything easy to access. You know, we had a different solution at secondary, a different solution, primary, everything was just different. So, we had no districtwide, you know, consistent adoption surveillance technology. >> Some buses do. >> What's that? I I would have to You want to speak on that? >> The system that the transportation department director um the system the district currently has in place is a
060seon system and probably 90% of our buses have cameras in. The units that don't are typically the smaller units that are used for just a handful of special needs students and those ones are not equipped. But all the larger buses for the most part have difference. >> That was going to be my question if that was if that was in the plans. >> Yeah. So the the grants were not submitted to cover. >> Okay. >> I just I just recogniz had great success with the grant. So I mean we do have the option to apply as many times as we want. I think each time we apply we're less likely to be so far. I did I actually wanted to ask the principles um with this new technology if you feel like it's working if
061it's to your benefit and can share a little insight. >> We can start from the top to the bottom high school. >> Thank you. >> So at the secondary campus the cameras are doing great. Um just question earlier about who has access. Um just two of our security members out of the four have access because we really want to control who has the ability to go back um and look at it and the principles um the office in A and B building it's just the people in the office similar to this where they don't have the ability to look back at recordings and it's specifically just to see what's going on around. um using this actually has allowed us to catch some things and some patterns for some students. Um and so it does help
062us. It's allowed us to see who our kiddos are hiding in the bathroom for an entire period class. Um it's allowed us to see some safety. We were able to keep students safe because we were able to Has it increased your victims? >> It just allows us to see them. It's actually calmed down once the students I think the students wanted to test if it really worked is what the reality is. If you look at our um our incident reports, there was more vaping done in that first month in the restroom and it's slowly triggered. And there's still some kids who think that it won't catch them for whatever reason. But in the main areas, um, it really allows allows us to be safe and protect. >> Sorry to make you get up. They got
063a hand >> at the intermediate campus. It's helped a lot with decreasing our distractions with instruction because we are able to look at the cameras and not having to go into every classroom and try and find who we're trying to look for. and my security and my office staff also have access to the cameras. So that takes away um time from myself and my AP from looking in the cameras that they can do it for us and we can focus on instruction. And I'm looking forward to um the AI um looking at the photos because if we're looking for a student, we don't have to have a lock down and looking for the student. We can easily look at use the AI um parts to the cameras. So, we haven't tried it yet, but I'm
064hoping to use that in the future. and um looking forward to using uh the the what is it? The phone or our badges to open the doors instead of our keys because our keys don't always work when the weather changes. Um the key knob things don't work as as well. So, it's working out good so far. Um, we also have access, not all of us, just myself, my AP, and my office manager if needed. Um, the cameras, there's a lot more on campus, so that's been helpful, especially in playground area. If things happen, we can use those to see what really happened when something actually didn't happen. Um, I'm a little apprehensive about scanning cards to get in because if the power goes out, how are we going to get in or how how would
065that happen? Um, and that's something that has happened out here before with power. So, that's the only thing that I'm worried about. >> I do want to mention on the for the backup piece, the systems will have battery power for a set amount of time. I think it's about one to three hours depending on how many door controls we put in a building. Um, but the the current key system is not changing and that key system will continue to work as long as the district decides to make. So, so I did want to say this this is a layer on top of the current key system. So, it's not taking any functionality away. >> How about classrooms? Most of the covered areas on this FA on the phase that grant for door control is is
066anything that's exterior to so if you go into say the so for primary you go into the 400 hallway the indoor hallway is not really going to have any door controls on it. It's going to be the exterior doors that are facing the outside because that's where we want to be able to with the safety app with the panic buttons we can lock down the exterior of the building essentially electronic. So does that mean the video as well is all external internal? >> There are cameras internal and those you should have some maps on there that show you all those locations. So all of the the hallways essentially like primary is 400 200 buildings cameras inside um those hallways >> nothing cafeteria I think has cameras >> there for certain class to have Mr. D,
067>> president members of the world, members of the community. Um, this is going to open a new chapters. Uh, but right now, um, I want to make as we get comfortable with the technology and how we work that technology. Um, explore what additional uses we may want to bring to our um, our district. Um, at this point having classrooms to record everything that is going on in the class. may find it too intrusive as it is the fa just bringing some some cameras to the to the district. Um it it was one one level of comfort. Um however um if we have the need of some specific classrooms uh before we move that uh forward um I would like to have the discussion with the which classroom should be and also with the governing board
068to determine what direction we want to go. This is something that we have to uh by myself. I'll need to get some input from some teachers, from some um principles, some parents, and my governing board um in order to bring that level of surveillance. >> And the last part, I just want to say thank you for clarifying what it was required. It's different hearing. Oh, we're getting tickets. >> Yeah. >> Oh, it was required. Yeah, that's one thing I I did want to make sure if we have public events and safety reasons to use those, >> Miss Maz. >> There it goes. So, um I believe the question was how they're working at the moment with with what we have so far. They're working and um also uh there have been requests u for additional
069um cameras at the moment radios um it's a safety precaution and of course it's to keep our students safe most of you know I guess and thank you for bringing that up and thank you Mr. Diaz for the response I understand the I understand where intrusive you but for the most part [clears throat] if there is determination or some sort of discussion based on classes might also may even be necessary. But I agree. I think there does need to be some discussion when and where that may be needed. But um otherwise truly do appreciate the overall presentation. It definitely does give a lot of information insight into the overall effort. Thank you. >> And these are some of the biggest IT projects we've done a lot. equipment. >> Thank you for for for that part
070because I I note too that that technology is only a level of it. There's so much more that I think that we also need to as in backups still run those emergency drills and all of those things that need to happen for when we do have a power outage which we will need to been here long enough. Any other questions? Thank you. >> Number five this evening is our barbecq and vice leadership governing board financial report. Miss Clementine Carile Good afternoon, governing board president Buendia, governing board members, superintendent Diaz, colleagues. I hope you had an opportunity to review the 2026 expenditures through December 31st, 2025. All budget balances are currently positive. As of December 31st, 65.35% of the budget across all funds has been expended and encumbered, leaving a remaining balance of 34.65%. The average
071expenditure expenditure percentage through December is 50%. USD has spent 31.14 of its budget to date, not including incumbrances. Are there any questions? >> Questions from the board? The fiscal year 2026 student activities auxiliary balances through December 31, 2025 were attached. The total revenues in December for the student activities was $2,833 from BHS clubs, mom event sales, and basketball concessions. The expenditures in December totaled $8664 for BHS student council supplies and the ending balance for all clubs on December 31st was 103,96181. The student auxiliary account had revenues of $1,87 from the VHS Warrior basketball admissions and there were not any expenditures for the month of December. The ending balance funds on December 31st was $9,585. >> Questions? No questions? Thank you, Miss Carlo. Moving on. Number six is our barbecue principal reports. Miss Enriquez Benson. Good
072evening president members and superintendent I have submitted principles report in writing um we did in December 8% in attendance still addressing our chronic um We were gifted some bikes from EMS. They donated four bikes. So we were able to do affili Thank you so much. Any questions from the board to the report? Shout outs. Thank you so much for for everything. I think u I have am going to really press on trying to be a lot more present in this new year or at least this new year. I know the you're still in the middle. But so I just wanted to say thank you again and I can't wait to visit and kind of take a look around and show some support. And again, thank you and your staff for everything that you guys are
073doing. >> With that being said, next month is reading month. So if you'd like to sign up, contact. >> Thank you. Thank you so much. Uh, I do have a missitt [clears throat] >> miss uh Miss Miss May I sorry I'm gonna go out of order here. Um, Miss M is gonna present and then I'm going to excuse myself. We'll go ahead and move on to the um accelerated campus report. Sorry, Indian middle high school. >> Good evening, President Wendia and board members and superintendent. This report was put together to understand and think about beside all the highlights and our student of the month is um also that Um the carryovers are quite a few still that we'll present in the next u report as well. Uh but we're um very happy with the completed
074courses uh that came through on the deadline for December the 18th. Um those were great numbers and we have nowhere else to go but up and um we are progressing in all of the goals that you see there listed there and um we have in place um the rest of the information that you got to read and look at were there any questions questions from the board for Miss Maz. >> Ruben, go ahead. >> President, members of the board. Um, it's not a question, but it's a highlight. Um, we changed the report to depict not the activities, but the actual classes and courses that are completed. Um, I want to give a shout out to the students because by the end of the first semester, they have completed a total of 52 um courses um
075in and for the first semester uh which it give us a more a greater indicator of what um is actually being accomplished. So thank you m for that and I know all together um you have also spent almost 50 um visits with students and parents um in in and in and your commitment in continuing to meet with all students and parents regarding their uh transcripts. Um just a shout out Correct. We're very proud of all the courses that got completed which is those steps forward to the high school diploma itself as we saw today earlier today which is our goal in supporting our students and our families and that was their effort and their families. And December was a short month, but there you got a small glimpse of all the great things that are
076happening at our campus. >> I had a quick question to I was reports in case it was there. Um, your seniors and who's on track who's not if you have numbers >> they're still the same. >> I'll show you. Make sure I didn't miss it. If if anything um just follow up with us, >> send any numbers to Ruben and or they can forward it to us. >> Sure. >> But um I'd appreciate that. Thank you so much. >> Have a have a good evening. I hope everything goes okay, >> Miss Pay Lewis. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening board members, President Wendia, Superintendent, and all the people who are listening. I'm assuming there's a lot of people. Um, there was a few typos on my board report. On the benchmark data on the right
077side, it says math, but it's supposed to say ELA. Um, and then, um, there is an updated one in the newsletter that was out on the last page. And then on my spirit week for tomorrow is the hundth day, not anime day. And I corrected that my newsletter that I sent today with our families. But um we I did forget to mention that on an upcoming event next week on Friday, my parent engagement uh committee is having a surprise coffee and hot chocolate to our parents who drop off their kids. Um I have a few committees on my campus that I have no idea what they're planning. they just tell me at the last minute and tell me to show up, which is a lot of the events that happen in the video as well.
078But so I'm very proud of my staff for stepping up and and you know coming in those leadership roles and inviting the families and engaging them into our school. So thank you to my staff who are all part of the committees and you can share the video. Children Hallelujah. 20 minutes. That's all it takes. 20 minutes of reading at home, >> and more >> confident learners. respond. I want to see you. They can say they can world. What the world could Thank you, Miss Lewis. Any questions from the board or any comments to the report? >> I love that school. I just want to cry [laughter] hearing that man sing and coming out of the show. Oh my gosh. Amazing. I love it. So, thank you for the same way back tears. That was really
079amazing. Um, also the murals, those are amazing. >> That was donated to us from April Ignosio's group who came and we asked the community, can anybody make us a backdrop for our pageant and they came through and donated that to us. >> You know, just echoing all the comments um biting a lump through my throat, but it's but it's but it's definitely because I think that our students definitely I saw the boy and another girl sing the miracle me was amazing too. um those opportunities and the willingness of your staff and everyone to put forth the effort um is acknowledged especially from this course. So thank you so much for supporting those efforts and supporting your staff and making sure that our students um are thriving. Thank you so much for the report and continue
080please um to press forward. Thank you. And all the props that were used in the theater um drama, they were all made by the students. So, so we were very proud of them. Thank you. >> Thank you, M. >> Miss. >> Hello again, President Wendia, board members, superintendent Diaz. I hope you had the opportunity to take a look at the report. So, there are some upcoming dates you might want to pay attention to that are not um sports athletics. I know I know I know you want to do it during school and I and I love it, but the the award ceremonies are there is there any to do maybe an afternoon or maybe like a Friday after >> we used to do them in the evenings and attendance. >> No attendance. >> Yeah, it
081was like I think three people like parents it used to be after five to be respectful of the working parents. >> But your but your your attendance is pretty good now. >> The attendance for the award ceremonies. Yes. And that's the way we're encouraging academic success because the students are able to see their get an award and we want to praise them. >> I got you. No, I understand. Okay. No, I just Sorry. You want to hit any highlights from your >> um our highlights were the eighth grade um so the IP the task that um happened the students were actually presenting to parents and community members who were able to come in um and they let them know um their knowledge about the stories and the way everything went together. So that was the
082highlight and they used that as their quarterly assessment. So that was the big bang for the second quarter. And then Arizona Special Olympics toys and clothing operation Santa Claus. Um you'll see more about who received the toys video. questions or comments from the board on the secondary campus report. >> Um so the Wednesday is the last day to turn in applications. So far we have three um contestants. >> Um and I send a reminder email to all parents who view to encourage their children to turn in >> Mr. Bates. I don't know if you if you can help me um showcase the 11 and 12th grade uh scores. something that I want to point out again um our primary goal um and this is in effort so we can continue to stay focused and and
083and that direction that we want to go. We're looking for our students uh reaching 70% or higher or growing 25%. This is something extraordinary that I want to point out and I want to give a big shout out to 11th grade and and 12th grade teachers um because the amount of um the the way they have reduced minimally proficient and partially proficient in the amount of yellow, green and blue that we're now experiencing in the middle of the year. So it is the it does it's not easy to get to this point and to be able to see this amount of growth. It's something that I want to give again a big shout out to our students our teachers and our leadership so that we can see this level of growth and if you don't
084mind going up to seventh grade ELA Mr. Bates um right seventh grade ELA um from the first quarter to the second quarter there's different standards but at least 50% of our students they're now showing um the yellow the green and the and the blue or the part the partially proficient proficient and highly proficient. So congratulations to our teachers and students um for showing us that this year may be the the biggest year for our secondary. Thank you so much for for that growth. >> Yes. So definitely we're definitely excited to see the colors as opposed to >> So I really want to say >> greenly want to say keep up the the momentum. It is appreciated. Ment >> I was looking at your graduation number and on here it says uh no seniors have taken
085advantage of the ting available on Mondays Tuesdays and Thursdays. Is there a with parents, they've already been contacted and the report cards are out. It's really up to the student at this point. The reason why we still have the yellow is the student a class semester. Um and thankfully um because of um ASU, they're actually providing the tutors for us. Like they're paying the tutors for us. So the Tuesday and Thursday is completely by the district and so we're have no seniors have taken advantage of it. I had conversations with five of them. The five that have less than 19 credits because the reality is at this point they're going to have three and a half credits is what they can make from now until May if they only do their classes. They just take
086their class that they're assigned. So we have a senior who has nine credits and they came in as a senior started last year but nine credits and that's to be successful in the next year or two because that's a lot. You need 22 credits to graduate that's 13. So we had I've had conversations with these students specifically to work out a plan and the our campus may not be the campus for them because the reality is next year if that student is on task gets all seven credits they still have another year after that. Um, so I've had those conversations. The kiddos in the middle who I'm a little concerned about, I've as I'm glad that the conversation definitely the communication is there. Um, I wondered then if in the next year and I'm not
087saying that it's a lost cause at this point, but there are some that are beyond, you know, like you said, where it would just be unrealistic. I mean, we've seen students pull some magic out of it. So, especially when it gets to crunch time, but my hope is that we will see that, not we, but we as parent, student will see that prior to having to force something out by the end of the year. So, I'm hopeful to kind of see some strategies from the from yourself or committee or staff on how to really kind of invigorate or reinvigorate re-energize that effort. Not that it hasn't been done. And and I think it also falls on us and some of the partnerships that we can build as a as a board, as a school district,
088as community members, as representatives. I think that there's some some effort especially when we when we hear from Mr. from our counterparts with the nation and education department, but maybe there's some sort of and I hate to do this, but maybe there's some sort of incentivization. Um, and I know that we're talking about mentorship, not mentorships, um, what's it internships that may also be, you know what I mean? try and try and look at it from from from a perspective of um what I see what I've been able to observe is there's really no emphasis on prioritization of education when it comes to you know that this is important and you should do it and parents are being told and there's still no push then we somehow have to break to these students that it
089is that it is important so thank you for the including it and I know you do in the reports. Um but I I appreciate appreciate it. >> Just so you know as far as um planning this group is the first group who's had seven classes because in an attempt to get them graduated on time um we've had seven classes a year for the first like for the full four years which means that there are some seniors who were able to get that reduced schedule and right now one of them is interning with after school they're able to go and do an internship. So we are working towards that. >> But this again was the first class. So we're hoping that based on the juniors get to see the seniors who get to leave early come
090in late that they're able to see their motivation to >> I will say growing up there I was a little envious of the seniors who got to leave. So it does drive a little bit. Okay. I want to go home but okay. No, thank you again for the report. >> All right, that'll conclude our principal reports this evening.

Um so Miss Valdez, please take it away. >> Good evening superintendent Diaz, governing board president Mr. Wendia and board members. Okay. So the monitoring um Mr. Diaz is talking about is we are in our year four. So during the year four monitoring year, this requires ad on site and they sort of take a look at our program as a whole and they give us feedback on what we need to improve. So when we look at
098the year four, it's also making sure that we're in compliance and there are policies and procedures and in place for our students to ensure that we are um hitting all the requirements for IDA. So again, we're in our year four and they visited us in November and this was the first visit for the on-site visit and at this point. This is when they would pull various files from our students and take a look at those files. And they took a look at those trends to see what we need to improve on as a district. And when they view the files, they review um the evaluation and re-evaluation portion of the I of the process. They also took a look at IEPs as far as the goals to ensure that all those pieces were in place.
099They also wanted to take a look at how our child finding process works here in our district and what is in place. And for that component, they wanted to make sure that we are doing enough outreach to our community as far as what our child finding process looks like. They also wanted to make sure that we are reaching out to our homeschool students. So, in that part, um, we have to show evidence that we're we're making those gains. And so when it came to trying to do outreach for our homeschool students, that was a po a part where we need improvement on. So there are a few um home homeschool students in our district and we need to show evidence and how we're doing outreach to them as far as child. And another part of
100that was um just again making sure we have those procedures in place having um sessions in place and we did hold a session last month I believe in conjunction with um to special services they actually came and we did a little presentation unfortunately we didn't have anybody show up for our session but this is something we're going to have again in the works at I think in March is another good time we're going to meet again to do another child fine workshop for our community so right now um this is an ongoing process for this year. And so we're actually going to be checking in with our AD program specialist. Um actually tomorrow we're going to have a virtual meeting because she wants to talk to us about our 60-day items. And the 60-day items
101are priority items right now. And we just need to make sure that um those are being corrected. And that has to do with our IEPs. They want to ensure that our goals are being written correctly. They want to make sure that our PW PWS are in place, which are prior written notices. We also want to make sure we have the correct um paperwork as far as our evaluation and re-evaluation. And some of the suggestions they made and some of those things that we're going to address in the next coming months is making sure that our teachers are receiving professional development in regards to those areas. So, some of those areas are going to be um writing smart goals correctly, um how to write PWNs, which is prior notices, talking about specialized designed instruction, transition requirements,
102and again, those transition requirements are in regards to our secondary students. And another thing we're going to be looking at is possibly having a you every summer to ensure that those um components are in our IEPs and files. Again, this is sort of a year-long process and we are going to be meeting with AD pretty regularly. So again, we have our virtual meet tomorrow, but then in February, they will be on site again just to review, ensure that we are on track with our 60-day items. And then again, we'll probably meet again with them in the fall to ensure we're also meeting the other parts of those plan, the other part of the plan, which is child fine and procedural safeguards and parental present parental participation. So, it's been stressful, but it's also been a
103learning experience for everyone. We had um a team put together, Miss Koopas, Dr. Maros, Miss Javadon, and Mrs. Gmeritz. And it was a bit tough at first, but when we um sort of got out of our summary of findings, they all took away pieces of how they can improve their practice when it comes to um reaching out to parents, ensuring that they have those things in place in their IEPs. Um but I think it was a learning experience for all of us and it was very eye openening for me because it helped me better understand my role as ESS director. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Yes, I'll keep you updated on our findings and how we're doing with our plan. >> Awesome. Thank you so much, Miss Valdez. Aaron Bates, if you don't mind,
104now we're going to go to the U. the very last one, uh, school board request author of this report because it contains a pre-est assessment. Um, as you for those that are not aware, um, we are targeting our goal is to have five different levels. Uh, we've been focusing on the first one and this year we started the second one. The first one is Kamskood and the second one is Jurum. um coverage for turtle and j for and um we do have a little summary of interpretation if you don't mind keep going down keep going down uh right there's a matrix going um well we'll stop right there part of the request is wanting to see what does the test look like so we have included in this report the examples of what is the
105the the assessment. Um and when the time permits please take the time to be able to see what are the components are being included. There are two different assessment. One is for for the comfort and the other one it is for the children level. Um if you keep scrolling uh up which is the at the end the report right now this is the assessment. Keep going up right there and the way Mapisio has included um this report is also using the same in the same um um proficiency levels. So they are aligned so we can be speaking the same language. Um the primary levels um and the intermediate levels and some of of the um middle school they're showing growth um based on the areas they're covering and and also the the uh what the
106assessment is using. The assessment is being tested. Um some of the Here it is. Uh I am on page uh 20. U Mr. Bates these are some of the highlights. Um again um what I want to point out um it is the number of students that are showing based on the assessment how many students we have highly proficient proficient and and partially proficient which the yellow, the green and the blue. Um there are other students and and not proficient and minimally proficient. But what I want to celebrate is the students have reached these levels both in the kamk level as well as the jud um I also want to point out that we have nine out of 12 teachers. We still have vacancies in fifth, 8th and 10th grade. Um and um the other highlight
107is what we've been working on for the country level. At the beginning of the year, we presented um what the the goal was to create the com code textbook in a in a scoping sequ sequence and this task has been um the more we work on it, the more challenging it continues to be, but we continue to demonstrate the growth. For instance, if you don't mind opening up the scoping sequence, Erin, right there in that same report, there was hyperlink number one. access and please refresh. Um as as you refresh um this particular uh scoping sequence um we started with what is it that we wanted to teach um and it has the objectives as well as the content that we wanted to teach in each one of them. Um we the way is set
108up um on the top is T1 T2 T3 it is based on modules it will be total one or comp one um and and the months that we want to cover and how many weeks we want to spend. if you don't mind scrolling down. Um the same pattern it is used uh for each one of the contents that we're covering um in the scoping sequence. Uh keep going and and it has um numbers, alphabet, colors, but we also going to be focusing on what is the kinship keep going as well as communication. So those are the five domains that we want to cover. So once we completed this um we we challenge ourselves to the next If you don't mind going up a little bit right there um right there if you notice that for
109each one of the contents it also has um now that we have the scoping sequence what is the content that is going to be taught now we want to align it okay based on on on that content now which is going to be which materials are we going to use with the book I'm holding in my hands right now commercials over So this is what we want to do now. We want to specifically tell our teachers for this m for this scoping sequence we want you to use this material. However, we also we've been uh they have been developing some digital materials. So we're going to let them know which ones they're going to be using. Um and as a result they also we want to create now um how we going to be checking
110for understanding for each one of the modules. So again And I say when we started this project, the more we looked into it, there are multiple ways in which we want to improve this particular uh textbook as well as that direction for our teachers. Our teachers, they continue to use some of the materials and there's a lot of growth uh that we can improve the the class. Um however, um we're looking forward to complete this entire project uh before the end of the school year so we can place our teachers through not only um uh content training but they also going to need support in classroom management and um teaching language strategies to support them. So these these project again it is it is a a fun project but it is a very time consuming.
111So the good thing is that what we are going to be producing is going to we feel pretty solid of what we're going to produce and something that we can uh that we can use and share for many years to come. Um in addition as part of the president WIA using goal number four supporting challenge um based on what we learned in Kasak Blanca was like so how we going to learn from that but knowing us how we going to make it better. Okay, if we go back to now the report miss out a piece of report, we can close that scoping sequence. We won't need it at this point. If you keep scrolling down um keep going down. Oh, right there. Um we um we have um reached out to also our grants uh
112director and ask um how we can go about um I believe we starting page that is page 21. So using um a local publishing um we we're looking for um how we can maximize J and title six funding and some of the ideas that we can use um in in in an organic way to promote that autumn. It is what if we have some of these backpacks u targeting um the depending on on the module that we're working on. What are some of the vocabulary language that we want to promote? Next page. Um the other one is how do we make it uh also for students uh in a secondary. These are some um phone chargers. Um so that you can also engrave or add a language. Um the Casablanca district they using wristbands and
113they put phrases and the prices they're reasonable. kids will that's middle school and secondary they possibly will use um and if somebody accidentally take it the language will be promoted they lose it if somebody finds it still the language going to be promoted because it will be engraved in this and it will be recycled the next one the next page um these are some of especially the high school they have binders but the the primary Some of the classes they use this ziplock we bring binder bags that on the back we can also customize and what is it that we can use to promote some of the printed on the other side that you can see depending on the the numbers um the price is changing for some of the page actually the bottom of
114the 23rd page yes that something to explore um trading cards um for our um third, fourth, fifth and sixth grader. Um if we can use some of the focus uh that we have for each one of the modules, if we can invest in putting it together and putting value some of those cards um so they can use it as part of trading cards um and and and use it to play use them in playing games or even trading games. um as part of promoting the language and the last one it is what Kazablanca uses but again we like the theme by using the thinking to generate more thinking we want to do it but we want to do better that's from um our department I will pass down this was also a challenge we use
115the program that it lets you use some graphics but it doesn't let you print them so by the time we wanted to print it we have to go back and change those for graphics that we can print um and reproduce. So I will pass it down. Um the change from last time you saw it um some of the same but many of the graphics graphics they have changed because we were not able to print them because so you feel free to pass it down um and and bless it um while we uh close this report and I'll bring up the students getting stranded which is the bottom to the right student. So again um if you have any questions for our director um director culture language um please we she'll be back she apologizes that
116she does have an she did have an emergency um and but she did she did do her report and and wanted sure that she comply with the request. Um, any comments or questions that you would like me to convey and have it ready before I move on to the next one? >> No questions? No questions. I just did um want to make sure to thank her and you everyone supporting from what I from the questions that I had everything that was provided was absolutely thorough and and exactly what I expected. Just wanted to be able to kind of look we were looking in the report and engage it which I mean of course anything anything and everything that you're doing right now like you said it's just like laying groundwork for the future and I'm
117really excited that that's been and will be more than likely your legacy because you've done so much here to kind of set those things set them and let the actual charge. Thank you. I appreciate that's my only comment specifically. All the others I agree 100%. Um and have review. Thank you for for going a little bit more in depth when I ask the questions. Nothing else feel now and next month if you have any questions. So um students stranded due to emergency expectations based on the nature of our district. Um we do have a system in place um and the goal is to prevent students and um and and it it's easier said than done than done. So it it does have a couple of components and I will start from page number one. Um
118if you don't mind starting for the first component it is who are our weathermen? who are our weather um uh person and in that um in collaboration with transportation department. The transportation department they also have the knowledge from the bus drivers um they have to be monitoring the weather and and letting us know. Um the challenge with monitoring the weather the patterns do change and where whereas it will be raining in some parts of the nation it may not be in some parts of the nation. Um the other component that we have to be aware is some of our bus drivers they have contact information from some of the the members of the the nation from those villages and they reached out to them um to find out um especially for the washes even though
119it may be raining um some distance away from some of the villages um for some of the washes it may it may not be raining but there may be water for the water Um the the goal is to at least have our students for four hours uh so we can get credit for the attendance. Um and but as soon as they let us know that we may be a risk, our goal is to reduce the number of students. We have especially little ones um that may be five years old or or six, seven years old that they were picked up pretty early and for some of them when they go and they cannot pause and they have to come back. Um this year we've been pretty successful. I think the biggest group that come back
120was and I the governing board was informed during those times. Uh but it's also the challenge is preparing and making sure that we have enough staff available to welcome the students back and also um feed the students from whatever we can get from that. So um we monitor the weather. The next one is we try to provide the the communication to our families uh to letting them know um parents based on not last time but the one before some of the families they they let us know that they needed to know at least two to three hours ahead something was going to happen because for some of them that's how long it takes them to make arrangements for the kids. So we try to provide that um given enough something may be coming. Um, one
121of the challenges that we have some of our families, they the students will be held a little bit longer unless they have a relative or somebody that they know that can pick him up and hold them until they're able to cross the wash and pick him up after the water. Um, many of our families, they do take advantage. So, we know we're letting them know coming back somebody that is yourself to pick up the students and you authorize them to pick them up and we've been successful in getting the students picked up um within 45 minutes or so by somebody that they have authorized not necessarily the caregivers next sections so we do try to provide as much as possible um and we system that each one the district office and the schools um every
122time the students come back um we let them know hey it is your turn make sure you uh send somebody to to get credit card authorized so they can get the food and we have multiple roles um we we do have a sign up form every student need to be authorized by somebody um we also uh based on the students that are coming back we We do have a binder with the students and there's one section for the students that either need medication or the students that have any allergic reactions so that um those that are responsible for supervision they have that in hand. What we do ask is also whoever is responsible be ready for some entertainment because the students when they come back they've been in school all day they were planning to
123go home and they come back some of them they're they're sad some of them they're upset but we need to also provide some entertainment um and in the event that this is a catastrophe that we have to spend more than two days our district manager will Um, we do have some important contact information as part of our protocol. Um, if you want to scroll down, these are part of our protocol. The way we manage this is we have somebody that needs to be the lead and that will be one of the administrators that is responsible or attorney the school or the district. We need a food runner to make sure to know how many people are going to be coming back and try coming back by the time the students are here. We have the
124food. Um we do have a communication lead somebody that is going to be communicating with the parents. Um what we do have kids coming authorizing somebody they have phone numbers so they can help us with that communication that you don't mind. We do have a door monitor. Uh nobody can come in. No adults can come in that we don't recognize and somebody that is sending and updates and somebody responsible for also checking out the credit card and and at this point um I'll be more than happy to answer any questions or any questions that you may have. Um again I think this is a great opportunity not only for being on the same page but also communicating to the families that we do have a protocol and a system in place. Sometimes we get it,
125sometimes we don't get it. That is based on a best shot of the weather is without we're not weather experts. Um we do Mr. a program or or a partner that they do have a way to support the district without service. right now. >> Okay. Uh board members, any questions to No, I I definitely do want to say thank you so much, Mr. Diaz. Um as as as again as far as the information for parents uh students community members on that there is an actual plan and what we need to do. So I really appreciate you thorough information. The only one thing I wanted to say is I I understand students um and our parents andor instances where you know students have to come back but I am I am also grateful that um our
126campuses can be those safe spaces for our students when needed that's more or less I understand that we can't always get it right I just wanted to make public understand and we hear as far as what the process thank you for everything you do when these instances do arrive. >> Yeah. Um I guess um with the technology that we have um that we're currently using for the buses where we are limited when situations like this come up isn't going to be crossing the not to expect them to be crossing the dangers that our children but I also want to say that um we've always our school district has always taken care of our children that have come back that's how I do have children in the areas, but I know that when they come back
127always shift to I know there was a couple of times when students were released, but you know what? We were making sure that they were going to be safe and that's what we have to do. I did um on this last time there was a voice message that went out that um more or less told the community that the weather was coming and we may or may not have the school depending on the situation. I thought it was very I could see the way that it was related to us that um if I needed to find a light I need to start looking now but then it may not just Listen to listen to things that parents have to think about. But still, thank you, Miss Vince. If nothing else >> uh to answer also
128the question there's another presentation not tonight it is going to be regarding what is the update that was our shop request what is the update on the where's the bus app um but that is a report that is coming your way we did have some hiccups um but our our director um of transportation um in conjunction with our director of technology Um there's another also request that it's also on the horizon. You'll be receiving an update. And at this point, yes. Now, let's shoot the video. It was short and sweet. Um, there was a lot that also um December there was a lot of operational and a lot of um due process u but those are things that I can showcase so there's behind the scenes the things that happened but in terms of if
129you read the weekly highlights and review everything else that happened that I couldn't post from here and some of them I do not have pictures of it every time that I met with HRC when I met with uh director of M things that I did not take pictures Sometimes it's not until later I'm like, man, how am I going to photoshop that? Um, but there's a lot that happens. So, I highly encourage you to continue to read my weekly report um of everything that has been taking place to say the build of that music that >> I know background.

These are just individuals who have are placed into these roles for the school year based on their letter F this evening is our action items number one discussion of possible approval of the acceptance of the fiscal year 2025 annual audit reports. >> Good afternoon 914 requires that this whole district who have adopted an M budget limit in excess of $2 million annually shall contract for an annual financial statement audit and the completion of the USFR compliance questionnaire. School districts who have spent more than $750,000 in federal revenue must also contract for a single a federal single audit. I just wanted to say that um last year we
131had over 30 findings and this year we had less than 10. So, um Dennis didn't talk about that, but um I wanted to also thank the IT department because they're doing great with their internal audits um to ensure that we have less uh findings in student attendance. So, the recommendation is that the administ uh the administrative recommendation is that the governing board accept the fiscal year 2025 annual audit reports issued for fiscal year ending 2025. Um And this has to be by roll call that they are accepted. Our motion to approve and accept the fier 2025 annual reports. Is there a second? >> Second by Miss Captain V.

So please come put your hands together so we can thank our CFO um in supporting us. Thank you sir. Number two is discussion and possible approval of the barbecue high school district foundation memorandum understanding with you this point. Um I will sum in our um director of grants as she will give you some additional feedback regarding this. >> Good evening president board members Mr. Diaz. >> Um so uh we applied for this Jed pass through grant through the Jed foundation. We applied last year and we
133received $50,000 to purchase. Uh we got two cars for our auto program and all the equipment needed to work on hybrid and electric vehicles and then we also were able to do the college tour for the auto and so we weren't going to apply again was enough but they encouraged us to apply so we applied again and it's it's actually going to be split this time. It's going to be part of it is training for their auto teacher and then a training program that they can use within the classroom curriculum. And then the other part's actually going to the program, the welding, we want to reinvigorate our welding program because it kind of after uh after Mr. Wes retired and it kind of went away. So now our new teacher actually he knows more about
134welding and so uh we're going to purchase more equipment and more metal and stuff for the students to use. That's what the $50,000 foundation by motion carries. Number [clears throat] three is discussion of possible approval of the ninth grade track grant intent to apply. At this point I will summon my principal uh constants on so we can we can also share some highlights regarding these reports. >> Sorry. Okay. So the intent is um the state has a grant that will focus on nth grade. Um this past school year we did um apply for it and that's what actually paid for the summer bridge program. Um, and the idea is if you get the students successful in ninth grade, they will be successful their high school career. And so, um, we would like to apply again
135for the new grant. Um, and most of it will be covered with training. And you can take a look. Um, Daniel, can you look at what is there on the just tells you right there the funds will be used to support implementation of four broad areas. highly effective nth grade success teams, proactive and data-driven interventions, um high quality instruction and comprehensive system of the nth grade transition supports. And you can see that it does align with the um three-year plan. Um when we look at those data driven interventions, there are no questions. Motion to approve the night Thank you. Number four, discussion possible approval of RFP number 261231 for exception student services. Mr. D, >> members of the board, uh we do have a report that lineates the process for the RFP. Uh Mr. if
136you don't mind opening it uh so we can share some um information. This is part of our due diligence and following the process. Um this is something that um I think part of the process it was um it was sent to 1,729 vendors. The RP was viewed by 422 times. The agreements were downloaded 24 times and only six vendors submitted a formal no responses.
