001superintendent and I'm very proud from our staff I welcome our members of the community parents and students are watching and I want to thank you please follow up and if you have any questions post them on Facebook and we'll be happy to answer them as well the purpose of um not only to introduce a very special person but also to thank them to think a couple of members of the community that have supported us during this process I would like to take a minute to thank Miss Tanya Sudan Miss Sudan has served not only as a teacher but also as an administrator for being part of this excruciating process on May 26th we had the first phase of the interview on May 29th we had a community Forum in which staff and members of the

002community had the opportunity to ask questions directly to the candidates and continue to find more about them once we had all that information the candidates to move forward I had the opportunity to meet with the governing board for another round of questions and based on all of the process we are here proud to introduce Miss Edna Levi so at this point I want to ask for a big hand for our candidate Ms Leiva that has now formally our new principal for Baba Kiri Middle School in high school part of the process that we're going to have today and I'm going to let Ms Leva introduce herself not only in person but also she has put together a video to for the community and for everybody to get to know a little bit more about human

003labor is where is she coming from and where she heading so this poem is Leva please if you don't mind introducing yourself come on give it our hand thank you and I am proud to be standing here as the principal of the secondary campus because that's where I started in 2014 when I first came out here and I won't repeat what it says in the video but I came out here in 2014 as a special education teacher I worked with some of the members that are in the audience right now and then I moved on to become a school Improvement specialist it took me a while to leave the classroom because I wasn't ready I loved being in the classroom I loved being in the full four walls of a room and building relationships with

004students and I often heard people in leadership say oh you still develop those relationships it's just in a different capacity and for those of us that were in the classroom and have been in the classroom we all look at them and went mm-hmm however I'm here to testify that that is true I am still building relationships with students I'm building relationships with more students because it's not within the full walls of a classroom but I am very very excited to get started and kind of be back to what was my home for many years so I hope you enjoy the video teacher here at bible key very secondary in 2021 I moved to the intermediate to be a coach and then the following year I became the assistant principal and have been there up until

005now all principals are tasked with creating strategic plans for their school the one for Bible kiburi's secondary campus was already created by Miss sudam and the administration team prior to my arrival a quick summary of that plan includes continuing to build on what we've already created with lesson planning with making sure that we are creating engaging and fun lessons for our students it means continuing to grow fluency in math and reading for all students and moving forward creating professional learning communities where teachers can use data to help them determine what they will be doing next in their lessons all of this again is for the goal of reaching 80 percent of our students making 70 or better Mastery level and creating 90 attendance for all students in all grade levels as the principal of the

006secondary campus there are three things that can be expected from me education transparency and building of relationships all three of those are needed in order for us to create an environment in which the culture is embedded in education our culture at the school needs to be around education while still supporting the culture and the language of our students parents Guardians and community members can expect that we will build a line of communication that goes both ways from the school and to the school teachers can expect support they can expect modeling and they can expect administrators in their classrooms helping to support the learning for the sake of our students and students can expect an educational environment in which they will be able to grow their mind grow their education [Music] thank you [Applause] learn from

007his labor at this point I want to open it up for our members that are present here today what would you like to either ask Miss Leyva regarding her plan or extend your support feel free to come forward or I'll take the microphone do we have a second microphone no we do not so at this point feel free to come up and extend you either your support or have questions for Ms Leiva honey I'm Robert Russell I am a long time teacher at the high school I am proud to be here at this member of this school district and I'm proud to say that my friend Edna Leyva is is a good choice I'm just I'm I'm here to I'm here to support um I've known her for a long time she knows our kids

008she knows our community she has been with us through some very tough times and she keeps coming back and that's uh that's powerful the consistency is King and she has been a consistent educator asking any of her students she is very consistent and you're going to get things done and you're going to get them done right she's kind and warm and smart as attack or as sharp as attack smart as a whip I'm not sure she's a she's an excellent teacher and I'm sure she's going to be an excellent administrator for us when she says she's going to communicate she means it in the in the interview process one of the things that she said that I loved and she just came up with it on the spur of the moment that she had 30

009seconds to think about it she said that our community days how about we ask the communities if they'd be willing to host our event we'll bring lunch if and I thought that would be a fantastic idea if we could actually go out from the school and visit communities I only miss labor would think of that it's a wonderful idea um I'm just here to support and um [Music] it's going to be an excellent Year we're looking at new things it's going to be wonderful thank you so much thank you now I just wanted to add that as the board member we are here to also support you um I know that you know I know I've known you for a while um and I was trying to remember you too because I know that we

010uh you had my their older brother who has been out of high school for the last three years and I know you know we've had to meet with you for his um for his English class I think it was yeah but you know I was asking my granddaughter I think just yesterday do you know what your schedule is for next year so I was wondering and I thought in the in the past we would have schedules for them you know or know what classes they would be taking you know their following year and the schedules ready their schedules would go out to them early instead of on the day that they come to school um so that the parents know you know these are the courses and get whatever they need for those courses for

011them so that's something that I kind of wanted to um suggest I guess more or less so great question and great request um Miss Levon I know you receive a very long long list um of some of the things to follow up on including schedules can you share what is going to be different moving forward regarding schedules and what can parents expect and students expect when it comes to schedules for the next school year starting the end of next school year so unfortunately I I don't know giving them out yet obviously I I just started but I can certainly find out for you but moving forward which is where we're going to move forward now is we will have schedules for students prior to the end of the school year we can have meetings with

012grade levels my understanding is that the counselor can go in and help students select their electives for the following week or for the following school year excuse me in order for that to happen though we we need to already have in line who all those teachers are going to be and I believe that was just recently finalized so it's not a matter of not creating the schedule it was a matter of making sure that we had the teachers in place Mr Russell mm-hmm and the state isn't making any adjustments for us so we need to create more opportunities for kids to get to their graduation goal but that also means that we're now having to offer new courses and so on we were just we only just about finalized us that we were going to

013happen everything's been influx we will get them to you as soon as possible thank you who would like to go next before you raise your hand and I would like to acknowledge uh to the members of the community that we do have a quorum right now present and I would like to acknowledge that we do have three board members and by law we have to acknowledge it so we want to thank also a third member Miss greenswood thank you for joining us today and be part of the Forum and we do have another comment or another question for our principal um Miss Levi I just want to say congratulations on your new appointment as the secondary site principal and I am really truly looking forward to your ideals and um one of the things that

014I really would like to see not only as a board member but as a as a parent is that our our families um really take education seriously especially at the high school level because when we look at our mission statement and our our core values it really does talk about getting our children prepared for the outside world whether it's going straight to work or at that higher education level and I think um that is really what I would like to see as a parent um as a board member I'd like to see that um there is communication when students first come into the school um especially when they're freshmen and for them to understand that there's somebody there to tell them how important credits are and not only to be there as in attendance which

015Ella always um has her has her um her chair ready to make sure that when we get that 90 percent uh attendance rate that she's there cheering we're all cheering that on but not only to be there on site but to really work hard to become educated and I think right now it's it's that's something that I'm looking forward to and I I really I really think that that parents need to really understand that part and I don't I I'm I'm looking forward for your new ideas and now that you're you know you've been coming from the um they're coming from the intermediate site and you know how enthusiastic um our kids are and all of that fun that they're having and I really hope that it's it's gonna happen there at the secondary site

016so thank you for applying for the position and congratulations thank you thank you for that great comment and these leads to a little commercial uh for this year and I want to take advantage to share and advertise our goals uh to our parents how do you know your students is in the right direction and if we are on track what we're looking for for our parents our parents also looking uh through our uh media platforms eighty percent of our students they need to score 70 or better so when you get the report card please double check if your students are scoring 70 um then you make the time to see how you can make it to 80 to 90 to 100 percent secondly you don't have to wait for a report card anymore uh one

017of our goals that we're going to have this year as an institution uh in as a district we want 90 of our families to have access to the apparent portal that is going to be the minimal expectation and we want our parents to not not only check on a daily basis how's the attendance on a daily basis what is the percentage of assignments turn in if you don't see assignment it is a good time to pick up the phone or pick up the or turn on the computer and send a quick message and say hey what's going on how can we all support having said that because those are our goals if you don't mind expanding Ms Leiva um how uh what are what is the support that you need from our parents so they

018can read our students can reach 70 or better Mastery and ninety percent or better um in attendance what support do you need from our parents that way they can be our partners in education thank you for the question um earlier today I was meeting with my administrative team Ms croscob and Mr Russell and Mr Russell said something that I knew but I just never really put it into words in order for our students to sit on this stool of Education there needs to be the a minimum of Three Lakes to support it the parents the teachers and the school and if we don't have those three pieces they're not going to be able to to balance it out so what you can expect from me is the the tenacity to continue that communication and I

019say tenacity because I have been a teacher in Tucson and I have been a teacher here and we all know that there are parents that will answer our phone calls and then there are parents that won't they'll listen to the message and then call us back when they are able to we understand that parents and and family members and Guardians are busy but I promise that we're not going to give up after the first time we're going to continue with that tenacity because that's you're you need to be part of that program with with your students and if we aren't reaching out um I I would gladly love for somebody to call and say hey I don't feel that I'm getting enough communication let's sit down and figure out how we can make sure that

020we are passing along that community education because what my ideas are Miss cross Cobb miss ansay Mr Russell or anybody there we can come up with ideas but they might not always work and so if we can make sure that we're working together to create those communication lines and keep them open they're not always going to be pretty I understand that but as long as those lines continue to be open that's what I can promise you on our end thank you and to piggyback once again another commercial we have modified the report card so high school parents you will get red flags uh you will see a little bit different it will let you know when a student is on track or is not on track please take a look if you have any questions

021please reach out to either the counselor the assistant principles or the principals to address any questions that you may have something else that we're doing differently is for this school year we will continue to have not only Credit Recovery we're going to have to all enrollment but we're also going to have a required tutoring and credit recovery for some of our students we want to close a gap and we want to include increase now the number of students that will be ahead and take advantage of dual enrollment and they continue to get the same Credit Recovery credit to get ahead that way we can continue to close the gap and to empower our students um any other questions before yes thank you thank you thank you comments questions thank you sir for raising your hand

022what comment do you want to tell Ms Leyva good luck hey that goes a long way good luck because what can she expect from the students for them to work hard but I love the attitude thank you thank you thank you um another comment another question Miss chriswood that much uh congratulations again and um I just wanted to say that uh my grandson TJ has two boys at the high school one's going to be a senior and one's uh junior I think it's Junior anyway um I've been telling them about their credits you know that make sure they have their credits and because we don't want them to be short and at their senior year and and go to school and listen to your teacher I mean we say that to all our kids but

023we don't know how they act when they get to the high school and um and um and I also like to have that counselors being more involved with the students and make sure that then I mean I'm I know Ms grandler was there and uh and she was always um on that she looks at their their grades you know and she will call them in and hey you need to work on this you know and um and then about reaching out to her parents and um he was that's what of course you have phone calls and then then you can also follow up with the letter you know know that you have those backup information and the student is filed and um you know that's what I would like to see have the council work

024with the students and make sure they have all the credits and um it is true that you're supposed to have those credits before the school starts I remember when we get to when I was in high school we always had a choose our credits and everything you know our selective so I don't know why it's not happening at the high school and uh so I just want to I think we're going in the right track with uh our superintendent I I mean we I I see it you know even even before it became a superintendent and uh so he's doing great and I really appreciate I really really thankful that he's he's here working with our students so um I think the board members for being there for our students and we're trying to do

025our best you know for our kids you know but we want them to excel we hear about all these um other uh Indian Public School in the Navajo reservation they're getting their newspaper and they get these Awards they get and it's not happening here at our school I don't see it I don't see perfect attendance either you know so that's my comment thank you Mr griezman thank you for your comments and thank you for raising out a bar in the status quo um we are working and we're looking forward to collaborating with our family in the community we look forward to other year to set up also a couple of community planning meetings so we can all see what are the priorities of our community we want to take advantage of our schools and especially

026at the high school uh to be able to see as a community what would be some priorities that we can all attack including not only attendance not only uh uh substance abuse not only support needed for social emotional services for our students and for our parents but we'll have the opportunity to come together as a community now we know the bar we know 80 percent of the students will score 70 or better and ninety percent of our tenants and that's going to require a lot of um support for my parents knowing that those are the goals and those are some of the expectations Ms leyba can you please elaborate and share what can I experience expect the first quarter and moving forward what is going to be different about the school now under your new

027leadership what are they going to start to see not only although in the first quarter but before school begins what is it that you that they can expect from you that they will see the difference under your leadership so under my leadership I when I was in the classroom I I had high expectations for my students now that I've left the classroom remember I said it took me a long time to finally decide to leave the classroom I always thought there's no way that I can that a school can run like we do in a classroom however that's the same expectations that I had in my classroom I will continue to have with the my staff so that they can have them for the students so some changes that you're going to probably hear about

028is that classroom management is going to be one of the top priorities teachers can't teach and do all these wonderful engaging lessons if they are not able to manage the classroom and I don't mean just coming up with lessons that are Bell to Bell I mean having procedures in place for when somebody needs to leave the classroom how how are you going to know when they come back because if you heard in my Forum safety is number one and if you want to hear me get passionate that is where I'm going to get passionate the safety of our students is our number one priority so that we can then teach them because none of that can happen if our students don't feel safe and it requires a teacher that is comfortable in the classroom enough

029to say this is my classroom these are the rules and procedures for your sake but they still need to be in place so you can expect that we are going to have classroom management training we're going to be working with the teachers we're going to be in there coaching them I'm going to be out I'm going to be out I'm going to be out there I don't I have a little pack that I carry with me that I started here at the intermediate where my radio and my phone come with me and I'm out on on the campus as much as I possibly can again like I said before I know I can't be out there all the time but you can expect presents our presents we're going to be we're going to have teachers

030standing at the doors and greeting the students all of those typical things that we know work they work they work for our students so you're also going to be hearing from us a lot because we're expecting a lot from our students but we're also going to be making those phone calls home to get your support because again we know we can't do it by ourselves so you can expect more phone calls and communication in any way shape or form that we can get it to you we have social media now we have emails we can send letters we can start with make making a simple phone call and if we can't get a hold of you call every number we have until we finally get a hold of somebody because again what you can expect

031from me is the tenacity and making sure that we're building these communications if you were a parent during the pandemic you got texts from me you got emails from me I even remember telling parents I'm so sorry to bug you once again and I had one mom say don't apologize do not apologize for communicating with me about my student it there's no such thing as too much communication and I as a parent feel the same way I will never get tired of hearing from my son's teachers because we need to be a team and so those are the things that you can expect for me in the first quarter those are the things we're going to be focusing on because if we don't get that down packed it doesn't matter what fun things we do

032after that our students are not going to be able to learn hmm personal another commercial I'm I'm going to challenge our community I'm going to challenge our parents and I want to challenge um everyone that is listening that our students they have the option to make choices but they don't get to choose the consequences I what I want to emphasize that our students by the time they leave high school I want us to work together let's the students choices be an opportunity for us to connect with our students choices to see that we both care and the both of us working together we're going to use that not only to grenade but to reset the future let's not the student choices separate us let's use our students choices to bring us together either to celebrate

033them or to reset their mind so we can make sure that they are on the right track I'm inviting and I'm going to challenge all of my parents I every time there's a a a call that is coming in either to celebrate let's use it to connect it but if it's not a welcoming call let's sit down having our kids future in mind so that we can use that opportunity to reset priorities to reset values and to reset and emphasize our human dog next common question thank you Miss Vance um I'm really glad to hear that one of the things that I would like to see um this coming year is that our students are so um very much encouraged to apply for scholarships to look forward to uh not only those those choices those

034decisions on education but those things here in the school are going to help when they get to that higher institution so that means taking time to study taking time to to really think about where they're at in the classroom because once they leave the campus and once they graduate they're basically on their own in that higher education whether it's higher education or in the working field and so those things are really important that they start looking at that but I would like to see more scholarships that more students are encouraged to apply for scholarships I also I also like hearing about the um the fact that the reaching out is going to happen and I like what you said about not waiting uh for those grades to come out um if the staff already notices

035that there is these things happening that the parents don't know about to to reach out and make that contact because so I'm really looking I I really really am looking forward to this new year and I'm really um I'm just so glad that you're gonna be you're gonna be there at the site I I really looking forward to the new year so thank you thank you Miss bird cell thank you missing him thank you good afternoon everybody congratulations Miss labor um no I forgot what I'm gonna say thank you so much Mr Diaz um for the smooth transition um I think it's very settling for the staff at the high school that when we come back we have our principal that's already been working and and planning for the next school year so thank you

036for that and this labor we've been together for so many years and um you've seen what works you've seen what doesn't and I think that's a really good thing when um you will be the leader because you know exactly what where do you want the school to be um and also we're so excited because we have the best of both worlds your General Ed you have deeper understanding special education so that's really a plus for for us so thank you um another thing is um one thing that I just just come to mind is the being intentional on what we um the classes that we provide our students I think it's important that we provide them with the courses especially elective that will lead to the career that they want to do after high school

037and hopefully you know we will be on the table and talk to the administration and you know you guys have to oh the administration have to talk to our ESS team and and and really see what the students want to go after high school and put them intentionally to those elective classes thank you Miss Leyva you are coming to us at a very exciting time because we just had a very exciting year of Sports at BHS and at Bobby Middle School I'm telling you and go cougars it was exciting uh could you address some of the issues around eligibility which are going to come up in in a very positive way because academics come first and for many of our students sports are the the gateway to academic success um so I'm I know that

038you were always a uh a stickler for eligibility back in the day and if you might want to say a few words about that it's going to be a we're going to have a wonderful basketball season we're going to have a wonderful football season I think we're back with volleyball again this is going to be great and I'm really looking forward to this year's baseball team in the spring after after what the middle school did this last time perfect perfect season [Applause] thank you Mr Russell so when Mr Russell says that I was a stickler he is not kidding I I was the teacher that um the coaches would have to come in and say what can we can we student and I have as a teacher I had no problem having that conversation so

039long as the student understood what the expectation was so I wish I could tell you a a blanket response and say all students are always going to have you know a c or a B but it's not always going to be that black and white but I do want everyone to know that for that first level the expectation is going to be that you have C or better and then because we're going to have an open line of communication with the parents working with the parent and the student and the teacher so that they can get to where they need to be so that they can play the sport because I I come from a background with a single mom there were three of us girls we all played Sports and then my little brother

040came along and my mom was a single mom from the time that he was five years old so for him and he will say this over and over again what saved him was the fact that he played football and that the coach held him accountable even to the point where he would call my mom and say hey if he doesn't take the garbage out call me I'll make him pay for it on the field so I I see both sides I see that our students need the sports because we all are going to agree that there are many students that only show up because they want to play on that basketball team because they want to play football how do we how do we take that and manifest it into a better education for them

041and the answer is always going to be all of those people sitting down at the table so initially the expectation is going to be that all students need to have a c or better in order to play you you are here first and foremost as a student and then as an athlete for some students it's simultaneous and then so what I can promise you is that we're going to have that expectation but that if we if we need to sit down there will be an open line of communication but I need everyone at the table it can't just be me and the teacher it has to be me the teacher and the parent and the student because without all of us at that table we're not going to be able to make the right decisions

042for the student foreign thank you thank you great amazing uh Clarity and response I'm gonna use that as I said way once again we're taking advantage of this form not only to introduce Miss Leva but I also want to be jumping in and then create a couple of commercials so bring Clarity when it comes to the district and I want to challenge our parents um we want to raise the status quo if we want our students to be number one in sports why can we expect the same in academics they're both equally important and they're both open Windows of opportunities for our students we can have a great athlete that is going to get scholarships but if they don't have the skills needed to survive at college level we have failed our students we're not

043here to for our students to struggle we are here we only have 12 years to set the next 50 years of their lives what can you expect as a district we will be a strong bridge to get him from point A from point B but nevertheless as a family as a community we need to make sure that we build structures on the other side of the bridge so they are solid are still and flexible um as water so that they can navigate their life I'm challenging parents it's if if for us to raise the status quo and work and collaborate again now you have a teacher on the spot by checking your parent portal if we want our students to be successful continue to check the parent portal if you don't know how contact your

044parent liaison contact your counselor contact the administration at your school so you can have access and monitor um their work and their attendance on a daily basis don't wait until the day before they have to play if a sport is also a priority it's then we need to monitor the progress on a daily basis what can you expect from the district there will be opportunities for the students to get the support they need after school and within the school to be successful take advantage of those opportunities and be part of the challenge be part of the answer working together will make sure the students make it through the bridge and have a solid future another common question from the audience sir yes they're free thank you here's one more um just because we're getting on

045here I wanted to take an opportunity to give you a moment to to speak to to everyone um would you please say a little bit about what your core values are as an educator I know we've asked you this before uh but I think it would it would be helpful to hear it from you and the other the other question that I liked your answer for was uh what are your non-negotiables for student behavior and how do how do those two things dovetail together your core values and what's and what's at the base for base level for uh for all students um so that our students can be loved encouraged and prepared to Take On the World with our hymnog so that's a two-part question your core value and the second one I hear no

046negotiables but what I hear more deeply is your recipe for success for students can I have 30 seconds on the clock so my might use are combined with my core values as a human being outside of Education it's relationship building if we can't build relationships with our students in our classrooms then why are we here because nothing we say will make sense now I say that knowing in the classroom I your teachers don't connect with every student in the class that is unrealistic I understand that but as long as there's someone in the building that those students can make a connection with sometimes that's all they need and then you know helping that student communicate with that teacher that for some reason they weren't able to build that that relationship but so building relationships is

047very very important for me transparency I cannot stress enough how important it is to be transparent with anyone people you work with people at home just as a brief example when I applied for the job at for the secondary I was open and honest with the staff at the intermediate because we have built such a great relationship if you've been on on the campus at the intermediate there's a great energy and and we we almost always said this is our other family so I really I sat down with Miss Begay Lewis and and we talked about it and finally we came to the conclusion that we needed to share with them that I had applied because again for me transparency is very important I didn't know you know what the process was at the time

048other than I had thrown my name into the applications and I wanted them to know that because rumors can start anywhere and so they were there I wanted them to know I applied for the job and you know here I am but I I tell you that story because I want you to understand that when I say transparency is important it is important I I'm not a good liar if you know me I'm not a good liar it shows on my face so I have to be transparent by you know God made me that way he will not let me lie even if I wanted to so um and if I can't share information with somebody for privacy reasons then I'll let them know that I can't tell you what that is um but I

049can but I can share this with you so those are the the two of my core values and third I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Education if it wasn't for that one teacher when I was in high school that saw this quiet shy girl sitting in the corner and he came to me and said how would you like to run to State office for deca and I literally still remember standing there and going he's talking to me because I was so quiet you wouldn't know that from knowing me now but it was because I became a member of deca I I learned how to do public speaking we it was kind of forced on us but now I'm looking back on those skills that I learned in that classroom have

050really helped me build to where I am right now but I wouldn't be here without the education and so our students need to know that it it can't be more important than it is it can't be more important to us than it is to them but we need to help them see why it's important and bringing in the community building those relationships having people that they know former students coming back and talking to them about you know what I wish I would have known this when I was in your your seat and seeing the reality because they can hear it from the adults all day long but if they're hearing it from someone that was just in their seat a year ago or two years ago I think that makes more of an impact so

051those are those are my core values and then the second part of the question those are going to be my non-negotiables also students need to be in the classroom because if they're not in the classroom I don't know if they're safe so those are the non-negotiables that you can expect from me students at Miss cross Cobb and Miss Hernandez have come up with some really good procedures and policies that we're going to make sure still fit for us and we're going to continue to build on those because our students need to understand that we love and care about you but I need you in class so that that's the message that they're going to get I need you in class and then working with those teachers to create those lessons so that they don't want

052to leave as often they're still going to want to leave but they don't want to leave as often did I answer the question a couple ideas let's give her a hand thank you um we're getting closer to wrapping it up now when flying and and that thanks to your supporting collaboration and engagement in the process this is one of two forums we're going to plan another one closer in July and closer to opening the school year and I want to invite those members of the community if you like today's Forum like us on Facebook if you didn't like it and we have a better one plan for you in July so join us in July so you can see the part two or the Forum and I want you to once again use this opportunity
