WE ARE INTO BUSINESS. I ALWAYS WANT THE SECOND SONG. WE ARE ON APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FEBRUARY 20th, 2024 , REGULAR SESSION AGENDA. MOVED BY MR. FRANK AND SECONDED BY MADAM CORT. WE WILL HAVE TO DO A ROLL CALL. [ ROLL CALL ] I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE JANUARY 4th, 2022, WORK SESSION MINUTES. JULY 18th, 2023, REGULAR SESSION MINUTES, NOVEMBER 28, 2023, REGULAR SESSION MINUTES, JANUARY 16th, 2024 , BOARD ORIENTATION MINUTES, JANUARY 16th, 2024, REGULAR SESSION MINUTES, AND JANUARY 30th, 2024, SPECIAL SESSION MINUTES. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO

004DO IS WE CAN HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND IN ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE WE VOTE. IS THAT OKAY? OKAY. I'M SORRY. SO I LOOKED THROUGH THE MINUTES , AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY --IF ANYTHING STUCK OUT AT YOU. THERE WAS ONE LINE THAT I WOULD LIKE SOME CLARITY ON. ON PAGE 28 . SO THE THIRD LINE AND IT SAYS -- SPOKE IN FAVOR OF ALLOWING 10 MINUTES FOR COLLECTIVE VIEWPOINTS. BOARD MEMBERS COMMENTED IN SUPPORT. I DON'T KNOW WHO SERGIO RAMOS. CAN WE STRIKE HIM OUT? HE CAN STAY IN. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? IN THE MINUTES FROM FEBRUARY 6th , THERE IS A STATEMENT BY ME SAYING SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT ADVOCATING THAT THE BOARD BE DISSOLVED. I OBVIOUSLY MISSPOKE AND WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO WAS THAT THE

005COMMITTEE THAT DOES OVERSIGHT OF THE BOOKS HE DISSOLVED. IT IS NOT REALLY A CORRECTION, I'M SURE IT WAS ACCURATELY REPORTED, BUT IT WAS NOT MY INTENT. IT WAS THE SPECIAL MEETING ON FEBRUARY THE SIXTH. HOW CAN WE ADDRESS THAT? SO TO COMMUNICATE --IT MIGHT BE HYPERLINKED TO PART OF THE VIDEO. IT WOULD JUST BE A MATTER OF THE WORDING. PRESIDENT TENORIO, IF I MAY RESPOND TO MR. FRANK, THE WAY TO RESOLVE IT COULD BE , FOR ONE THING, ROBIN COULD GO BACK AND CHECK THE VIDEO TO SEE IF YOU USED THE WORD BOARD RATHER THAN COMMITTEE. AND IF YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU MEANT TO SAY COMMITTEE, PERHAPS LEAVE THE WORD BOARD IF ROBIN CONFIRMS THAT IS WHAT YOU SAID AND IN BRACKETS NEXT TO IT PUT COMMITTEE. SO IT IS CLEAR THAT TONIGHT YOU'RE

006SAYING WHAT YOU MEANT TO SAY WAS COMMITTEE. IF THE VIDEO SHOWS YOU SAID BOARD, PUT IN BRACKETS COMMITTEE AND IF IT TURNS OUT THE VIDEO SHOWS COMMITTEE, THEN WE CAN JUST CHANGE IT TO CORRECT IT. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN. DO WE HAVE TO FIND THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE RIGHT NOW? IT COULD BE EASY TO FIND. IT IS TOWARD THE END. I FOUND IT. PAGE 77. MR. FRANK COMMENTED IF WE COME UP WITH SOMETHING TO ERASED THE BOARD. SO JUST PUT IN BRACKETS , COMMITTEE. HE'S SAYING HE MEANT COMMITTEE. IF ROBIN GOES BACK AND FINDS OUT THAT HE SAID A DIFFERENT WORD, SHE CAN INSERT THE CORRECT WORD. SINCE YOU'VE IDENTIFIED THE PAGE AMEND THE MINUTES OF THAT DATE AS --AMEND THE MINUTES OF THAT DATE ARE CORRECT THE MINUTES OF THAT DATE AS DISCUSSED

007IN OPEN SESSION. SINCE NOTHING IS BEING AMENDED ON THE OTHER MINUTES AND WE HAVE MOVED AND SECONDED --I GUESS I CAN JUST DO IT OVER. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE JANUARY 4th, 2022, WORK SESSION MINUTES, JULY 18th, 2023, REGULAR SESSION MINUTES, NOVEMBER 28, 2023, REGULAR SESSION MINUTES, JANUARY 16th, 2024, BOARD ORIENTATION MINUTES, JANUARY 16th, 2024, REGULAR SESSION MINUTES, AND JANUARY 30th, 2024, SPECIAL SESSION MINUTES WITH THE CORRECTION AS DISCUSSED IN TONIGHT'S MEETING. I HAVE ONE OTHER CONCERN. SOME OF THESE MINUTES TOOK PLACE AT A TIME I WAS NOT ON THE BOARD. IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO VOTE TO APPROVE THOSE MINUTES SINCE I WAS NOT HERE? AT THE TIME ? OR IS THAT TOO BIG OF A DEAL THAT SOMETHING --I COULD ABSTAIN. TRYING TO THINK WHAT I DID WHEN I

008STARTED MY TERM THAT FIRST MONTH OF MINUTES. THERE WERE A FEW THINGS I MAY HAVE ABSTAINED FROM. IT IS UP TO YOU. LET ME ABSTAIN FROM THE MINUTES THAT OCCURRED BEFORE I WAS ON THE BOARD. APPROVING THE MINUTES HAS NEVER BEEN THIS COMPLICATED. I'M GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN. OKAY. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE JANUARY 4th, 2022, WORK SESSION MINUTES. JULY 18th, 2023, REGULAR SESSION MINUTES, NOVEMBER 28, 2023 , REGULAR SESSION MINUTES. I THINK THAT IS IT. MOVED BY MADAM CORT SECONDED BY MR. NOLAN. [ ROLL CALL ] THAT IS 4-0 WITH ONE ABSTENTION.

THE BOARD MET IN CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION ON TUESDAY, BARRY 20th, 2024 , TO DISCUSS LIMITED PERSONNEL MATTERS AS PERMITTED IN SECTION [ INDISCERNIBLE ] OF THE NEW MEXICO OPEN MEETINGS ACTE. SO THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT COULD UPDATE THE BOARD AND LEGAL COUNSEL COULD ADVISE REGARDING SPECIFIC

010EMPLOYEE MOVEMENT AND CONTEMPLATIVE MOVEMENT. THE SUPERINTENDENT COULD UPDATE THE BOARD AND TO DISCUSS PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT PERMITTED SPECIFICALLY SO THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT COULD UPDATE THE BOARD AND LEGAL COUNSEL COULD ADVISE REGARDING AN INVESTIGATION OF AN INCIDENT OF ALLEGED STUDENT CONDUCT. AND I AFFIRM THAT THE MATTERS DISCLOSED WERE LIMITED TO THOSE STATED HERE. NOW WE MOVE ON TO RECOGNITIONS. WELCOME. IT IS GOOD TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

WE LIMITED THE NUMBER BUT WE ARE SUPER PROUD OF THEM AND THEY WORKED HARD ALL YEAR TO TURN IN THEIR PORTFOLIOS TO RECEIVE THE PLATINUM AND GOLD AWARDS.

GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT TENORIO, DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE, AND WELCOME TO OUR STUDENT ADVISOR. I'M THE PUBLIC RELATIONS COORDINATOR WITH LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO PRESENT RECOGNITIONS TONIGHT. ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9th THE NEW MEXICO PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIVISION RECOGNIZED SUNRISE ELEMENTARY

018TOMBAUGHAND ELEMENTARY. THIS AWARD IS GRANTED TO SCHOOLS WHO APPLY AND DEMONSTRATE IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITATIVE DATA WITH A FOCUS ON ACADEMIC SUCCESS CREATING A POSITIVE CLIMATE, AND ACHIEVING FAMILY ENGAGEMENT. SUNRISE ELEMENTARY IS THE GREAT FIFTH GRADE. WE ARE A CARING COMMUNITY WHERE EVERYONE SUCCEEDS. THAT IS NOT JUST A STATEMENT. IT'S A GUIDING PRINCIPLE THAT INFLUENCES THE EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY OF DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS. THE COMMITMENT TO FOSTERING A CARING COMMUNITY CREATES AN INCLUSIVE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS FROM DIVERSE LINGUISTIC BACKGROUNDS FEEL EMBRACED. THE IMPACT ON DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS IS EVIDENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG SENSE OF BELONGING AND ACCEPTANCE. THE APPROACH AT SUNRISE ELEMENTARY GOES BEYOND -- UNDERSTANDING IN THE PROCESS OF LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT. THE IMPACT OF THIS PURPOSE EXTENDS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM INFLUENCING -- THE COLLABORATIVE AND NURTURING ATMOSPHERE ENHANCES COMMUNICATION AND

019ENGAGEMENT, CLASSROOM PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL. DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM THIS SYNERGY AS THEY RECEIVE CONSISTENT SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT . EDUCATORS AND STAFF AT SUNRISE ELEMENTARY ARE HONORED TO BE PART OF THE BILINGUAL JOURNEY FOR STUDENTS. AT THIS TIME WILL THE STAFF AND EDUCATORS FROM SUNRISE ELEMENTARY PLEASE STAND TO BE RECOGNIZED. [ APPLAUSE ] TOMBAUGH ELEMENTARY IS PRE-K THROUGH FIFTH GRADE THAT OFFERS DUAL LANGUAGE AS A CORE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM OFFERS ENGLISH AND SPANISH SPEAKING STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND EXCEL IN TWO LANGUAGES. WITHIN THIS MODEL THEY PROVIDE A RESEARCH BASED APPROACH THAT IS EFFECTIVE FOR EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS IN SPANISH LEARNING STUDENTS. THE FAMILY IS EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT NEXT YEAR THE DUAL LANGUAGE STUDENTS WILL BE PART OF THE TOMBAUGH STEAM ACADEMY. THEY WILL HAVE HANDS-ON LEARNING OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,

020ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS TAUGHT IN BOTH LANGUAGES. THEY WILL DEVELOP REAL-WORLD SKILLS, PERSEVERANCE, AND CRITICAL THINKING. THEY AIM TO MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE STUDENTS TO EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE , AND GENERATE NEW IDEAS FOR A BRIGHTER BILINGUAL FUTURE. WILL THE STAFF AND EDUCATORS PLEASE STAND TO BE RECOGNIZED. [ APPLAUSE ] MAY I ASK ALL OF THE HONOREES TO JOIN US UP TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPH WITH THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND ALL THE LCPS LEADERS AND ALSO THE STUDENT ADVISOR. WE WILL START WITH CAMINO REAL MIDDLE SCHOOL. [ APPLAUSE ] CAN WE HAVE STUDENT COUNCILS OF THE YEAR JOIN US UP FRONT, PLEASE? THIS IS BRITNEY. >> ALL RIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. IF WE COULD HAVE THE STUDENT COUNCILS OF THE YEAR COME UP, WE WILL START WITH THE GOLD COUNCILS. SO, ALL THREE GOLD COUNCILS. ADVISERS, YOU ARE WELCOME

021TO JOIN YOUR STUDENTS AS WELL. YOU WORK JUST AS HARD. CAN WE GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE PLATINUM COUNT WAS OF THE YEAR? THANK YOU . SO, VISTA MIDDLE SCHOOL MISSED THE AWARD FOR THEIR SERVICES AND COMMUNITY PROJECTS. NOW, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR SPIRIT IN THE PICTURE. AND, WE HAVE OUR MAYFIELD TEACHER ADVISER OF THE YEAR. THANK YOU . CONGRATULATIONS. [ APPLAUSE ] I WILL ALLOW THE ROOM TO CLEAR BEFORE WE START ON AGENDA ITEM THREE. DID YOU LIKE MY COMMENT? OKAY. BEFORE WE MOVED TO PUBLIC COMMENT , I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND OUR AUDIENCE OF THE BOARD PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING PUBLIC COMMENT, WHICH ARE FOUND IN BOARD POLICY BE ED AGE AND THE PUBLIC IN FOOT FOREMAN POLICY, PUBLIC COMMENT IS LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER INDIVIDUAL SPEAKER AND FIVE MINUTES FOR EACH SPOKESPERSON

022, HOWEVER, THE BOARD PRESIDENT MAY FURTHER RESTRICT OR WAIVE THESE TIME LIMIT . COLIN, CAN YOU TURN MY VOLUME DOWN? PUBLIC INPUT AND DOES NOT PROHIBIT CRITICISM OR COMMENT AND ANY PERSON MAKING PUBLIC COMMENT SHALL THE CONTENT OF THEIR COMMENTS AND THE BOARD NEITHER ADOPTS OR SUPPORTS ANY COMMENTS MADE DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION OF THE BOARD MEETING. HAVE TWO, INPUT HARD . THE FIRST IS JUAN GARCIA. THE TOPIC IS NOTEBOOK . HE SAYS "PLEASE EXCUSE MY NURSE. --MINORS." I WOULD ASK THAT KIDS, YOUNG TEENAGERS, BE EXCUSED FROM THE BOOK I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT, WHICH IS IN ONE OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. WHAT I'M GOING TO PRESENT IS BEING ALLOWED BY YOU TO BE IN SCHOOL . WHEN YOU ARE OKAY, I TO START. DO YOU HAVE ANYONE HERE THAT IS A STUDENT THAT

023WOULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE? GO AHEAD. BOARD MEMBERS, I PURCHASED THE BOOK BUT THIS BOOK IS IN YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES TODAY. DURING VARIOUS PRESENTATIONS LAST YEAR, WE HIGHLIGHTED WHAT WE BELIEVE IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH AGE INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL. WE IDENTIFIED ANOTHER BOOK CURRENTLY IN THREE HIGH SCHOOLS , CENTENNIAL MAYFIELD AND LAS CRUCES HIGH SCHOOL, AND ONE MIDDLE SCHOOL, CALLED THE "A COURT OF SILVER FLAMES". THE SCHOOLS HAVE KIDS AS YOUNG AS 11 AND WE BELIEVE IS A LACK OF OVERSIGHT IN EVALUATING THE CONTENT OF MATERIALS AND THE DECISION WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL IN THE LIBRARIES IS LEFT UP TO, IN MY OPINION, RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION WHO CONSIDERS YOUNG ADULTS 12 TO 18. WHY WOULD THEY INCLUDE 12-YEAR-OLD AS YOUNG ADULTS? IN MY OPINION, IT'S AN ATTEMPT TO NORMALIZE ANY SEXUAL ACTIVITY BY ANYONE,

024WITH ANYONE, AT ANY TIME. WE HAVE HAD REPORTS OF YOUNG KIDS , NOT TEENAGERS, AS YOUNG AS 10 YEARS OLD PERFORMING SEXUAL ACTIVITY IN SCHOOL BUSES. THIS FALLS IN LINE WITH WHAT IS BEING NORMALIZED IN OUR SCHOOLS. AT A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING, TWO INFERRED THAT WE WERE ANTI-LGBT, THE ALLEGATIONS LIKE THIS WERE WRONG . AS YOU'LL SEE AFTER I READ SOME EXCERPTS FROM THIS BOOK , FROM A STUDY BY M.I.T., CONSENSUS IS EMERGING THAT AN 18-YEAR-OLD IS NOT THE SAME PERSON THEY WILL BE AT 25 , JUST AS AN 11-YEAR-OLD IS NOT THE SAME AS THEY WILL BE AT 18 . THEY DO NOT LOOK THE SAME, FEEL THE SAME, THINK THE SAME, OR ACT THE SAME. ANY REASONABLE PERSON KNOWS THAT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO STAND HERE AND EXPLAIN THAT TO THE BOARD

025. FROM THE BOOK, "A COURT OF SILVER FLAMES" , NESTOR FINISHED WASHING AWAY THE SWEAT AND THE REMNANTS OF LAST NIGHT. IT HAD BEEN BAD , SHE HAD HAD BETTER, BUT ALSO WORSE. HE HAD NO IDEA THAT HER MAIDEN HEAD HAD BEEN INTACT UNTIL HE SPIED THE SMEAR OF BLOOD ON THE SHEETS. HIS FACE HAD TIGHTENED WITH DISTASTE AND A GLIMMER OF FEAR THAT SHE MIGHT REPORT AN UNSATISFACTORY FIRST BEDDING TO HER SISTER . IN AN ALLY -- ALLIE AFTER THE PLEASURE HOLE, QUICK AND DIRTY, THE TASTE OF HER HAD BEEN LIKE FIRE PIT THAT HAD JUST BEEN HER MOUTH. WHAT IF HE GOT HIS TONGUE BETWEEN HER LEGS? WHAT IF HE GOT HIS TONGUE BETWEEN HER LEGS? HOW IS THIS EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL FOR STRAIGHT, TRANSGENDER, HOMOSEXUAL KIDS? IT IS NOT. WE NEED A PANEL

026TO REVIEW MATERIALS IN OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES. THANK YOU. SANDRA SMITH , HER TOPIC IS SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS. THE PART THAT I'M GOING TO READ IS MORE GRAPHIC THAN THE OTHER SO IF ANYONE WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE PREVIOUS ONE NOW MIGHT BE A NICE TIME TO EXIT. OKAY. THANK YOU . I AM SARAH SMITH FROM THE NEW MEXICO FREEDOMS ALLIANCE. JULY, 2023, JUAN GARCIA AND I MET WITH THE PRESIDENT, DR. TOMLINSON, AND THE ACTING SUPERINTENDENT TO DISCUSS CONCERNS ABOUT AGE-APPROPRIATE BOOKS IN LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS LIBRARIES. YOU COMMITTED TO DEVELOPING A POLICY TO HAVE A COMMITTEE OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS REVIEW BOOKS BEFORE THEY ARE PLACED IN SCHOOL LIBRARIES. HAVE YOU MADE ANY PROGRESS TOWARD PUTTING THAT INTO PLACE? WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SYSTEMIC ISSUE OF BOOKS NOT BEING EVALUATED APPROPRIATELY BEFORE THEY ARE PUT IN

027YOUR SCHOOLS. I AM GOING TO READ MORE SECTIONS FROM "A COURT OF SILVER FLAMES" . IN THE BRANIGAN PUBLIC LIBRARY, THIS BOOK AND THE REST OF THE SERIES ARE IN THE ADULT SECTION , WHICH IS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE, YET THIS BOOK WAS PLACED IN THREE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIES AS WELL AS SIERRA MIDDLE SCHOOL WHERE IT CAN BE ACCESSED BY KIDS DOWN TO 11 YEARS OLD. " HE THRUST UP INTO HER MOUTH. SHE TOOK HIM DEEP AND MOANED SO LOUDLY IT REVERBERATED . THEY TIGHTENED FURTHER AND RELEASE GATHERED IN HIS SPINE, SCORCHING NOT THAT HAD HIM ARCHING INTO HER MOUTH AGAIN. HER HAIR, HER SCALP, HOLDING HER IN PLACE, HE THRUST HIS HIPS. SHE MET HIM , WORKING IN UNISON UNTIL THE SLICK HEAT OF HER, THE TEETH THAT SOMETIMES GRAZE HIM, TEASED HIM, THE

028TIGHTNESS OF HER FIST. THEY WERE UNBEARABLE. HER MOANING HAD HIM DECIDING , STRIP THOSE PANTS OFFER AND DRIVE INTO HER SO HARD SHE WOULD BE SCREAMING HIS NAME TO THE CEILING." IT GOES IN MUCH MORE DETAIL AFTER. SOME OF YOU LOOK UNCOMFORTABLE, AS YOU SHOULD. THIS IS ONE OF MANY SEXUALLY EXPLICIT PASSAGES IN THE BOOK THAT THIS BOOK IS CLEARLY NOT AGE-APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG TEENAGERS. IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR SCHOOL LIBRARIANS TO RELY ON THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND THE SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL TO CHOOSE WHICH BOOKS WILL BE IN YOUR LIBRARIES. IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HARD TO DETERMINE THAT THIS BOOK IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE BACK SAYS IT'S AN ROMANCE. WHY WOULD ANYONE PLACE IN ROMANCE BOOK IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL? THIS BOOK AND OTHERS IN THE SERIES AT

029SIERRA MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE LISTED AS "LOST" IN THE LIBRARY CATALOG WHICH PRESUMABLY MEANS A STUDENT NEVER TO THESE IN HER STALL THEM WITHOUT CHECKING THEM OUT. BOOKS IN THE SERIES ARE CURRENTLY CHECKED OUT FROM SOME OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE ALLOWING KIDS TO BE EXPOSED AGE-APPROPRIATE, PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENT BY YOUR INACTION. I CALL ON YOU NOT TO FULFILL THE CANADIAN YOU MADE LAST SUMMER TO DEVELOP A COMMITTEE FOR REVIEWING BOOKS BEFORE THEY END UP ON YOUR LIBRARY SHELVES AS WELL AS TO PERFORM AN AUDIT OF THE BOOKS EXISTING IN YOUR LIBRARIES RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. WE ARE ON AGENDA ITEM FOUR, THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT. THANK YOU PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE OUR LAS CRUCES REPRESENTATIVES FOR THEIR BOARD REPORT. LEAVING , PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD

030AND SUPERINTENDENT. I DO HAVE A FEW THINGS TO REPORT , STARTING WITH MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TOPIC OF BARGAINING. I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE DO HAVE AN APPROVED TEAM, THOSE NUMBERS ARE LISA WIND AND JESSE ALREADY WHO WILL BE REPRESENTING THE HIGH SCHOOL. DANIEL ORTEGA, PRESENTING ELEMENTARY SPECIALISTS TEACHERS, A REPRESENTATIVE FOR NURSES, A REPRESENTATIVE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AND RELATED SERVICE PROVIDERS, JULIE WACO REPRESENTING EARLY COLLEGE, MYSELF, REPRESENTING BILINGUAL AND PRE-K THROUGH 12th GRADE , JULIE STARTS, REPRESENTING ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHITE STANDS -- WHITE SANDS ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL, ALBERT WOULD, REPRESENTING MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND ALICE TRAVIS , OUR DIRECTOR. WE ARE GETTING READY TO SEND OUT OUR PRIORITY SURVEY TO MEMBERSHIP, SO THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY OUR OPENERS. WE ARE HOPING TO REACH OUT TO THE DISTRICT TO GET A MEETING SET UP SOON,

031AS SOON AS NEXT WEEK SO WE CAN BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SENDING GROUND RULES AND MEETING DATES. ON ANOTHER NOTE , WE ARE ALSO IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR ELECTION PROCESS . WE CURRENTLY HAVE A CALL FOR NOMINATIONS, FOR OFFICER POSITIONS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AS WELL. IN THESE CALLS FOR NOMINATIONS, IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE A POSITION FOR AN INTERN PRESIDENT AND THE SELECTED PERSON WILL TAKE OVER AS SOON AS ELECTIONS ARE OVER AND RATIFIED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS , WHICH WOULD PROBABLY BE AROUND APRIL. SO , THEY WILL ACTUALLY COMPLETE THE PRESIDENT'S TERM OF MAY 31st OF 2025. I WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE VICE PRESIDENT ONCE THAT HAPPENS. FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MR. RUIZ, WHO AFTER LISTENING TO SOME CONCERNS REGARDING SPECIAL EDUCATION CREDIT A SPECIAL EDUCATION TASK FORCE THAT

032IS GOING TO LOOK AT SOME ISSUES AND DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A PLAN FOR A VENUE PROGRAM THAT WILL BE USED FOR DOCUMENTING AND PROGRESS MONITORING. SO, IT'S BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN BY OUR SPECIAL ED TEACHERS. WE DID HAVE A TOWNHALL AND I DID WANT TO THANK DR. LOZANO FOR HIS HELP IN MESSAGING AND JUST GETTING MORE INFORMATION OUT TO US AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK MR. RODRIGUEZ AND MR. MONTOYA WHO ACTUALLY ATTENDED OUR TOWN OFFER SPECIAL EDUCATION AND WERE ABLE TO ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND REALLY GET CLARIFICATION FOR TEACHERS. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS CONTINUED WORK FROM THE TASK FORCE AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN . WITH THAT, I STAND FOR QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? QUICK QUESTION. HOW ARE FOLKS FEELING ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION? IS DISAPPOINTMENT THAT

033THE 4% RAISE WAS REDUCED , BUT OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS SOME GOOD STUFF THAT CAME OUT OF IT. WE HAVE THE CLASS-SIZE BILL THAT WAS PASSED AT THE LAST HOUR AND IT IS A BILL, SO THAT DOES GET THE BALL GOING AS FAR AS GETTING SOME STUDIES DONE ON CLASS-SIZE . THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF C S.E.C. SO, YOU ASKED ABOUT THE LEGISLATURE , AND THAT IS ONE OF MY TOPICS OF CONVERSATION , AND I HAVE VARIOUS THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT. FIRST , THE LEGISLATURE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY , WITH THE BILLION-DOLLAR BUDGET IN THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO , COMING IN FROM OIL AND GAS AND CANNABIS . THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS EMPLOYEES. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THEY GET A

034LETTER OF. -- A F. THEY COULD HAVE DONE MORE AS FAR AS CLASS-SIZE, DOING MORE FOR WAGES, FOR EMPLOYEES, THAT COULD HAVE RETAINED TEACHERS OR BROUGHT TEACHERS IN. THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF CLASSIFIED STAFF, SUPPORT STAFF , THAT WOULD GIVE CLOSE TO A LIVING WAGE, BUT THEY DID NOT. I WONDER, IS IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN ELECTION YEAR? IS THAT WHY THEY DID WHAT THEY DID? BECAUSE AS FAR AS THE GOVERNOR, SHE'S DONE. A FEW MORE YEARS AND SHE IS GONE. SO, YES. THINGS NEED TO BE BETTER AND NEXT YEAR, IT IS AN ELECTION YEAR. THE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT. SO, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO ? WE DON'T WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER . WE NEED TO START TALKING NOW. YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT I AM GOING TO

035BE TALKING TO THE SENATOR AND NATHAN SMALL AND WHOEVER WILL LISTEN TO ME. AGAIN, THEY HAVE THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING AND IN MY OPINION, THEY FAILED PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION AND THEY FAILED PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES. SO, MR. NOLAN, THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND YOU KNOW HOW I AM BECAUSE I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME OF YOU ABOUT THIS , AND I THINK THAT IT IS, IT'S NOT DISAPPOINTING, IT'S DISGUSTING AND I , NOW, WE ARE GOING TO START NEGOTIATIONS , AND MEASLY 3% IS NOTHING . YOU TAKE AN EMPLOYEE WHO EARNS $16 , YOU MULTIPLY THAT TIMES .03, THAT MEANS THEY WILL GET A $.39 INCREASE , IF WE GO WITH WHAT THE LEGISLATURE IS PROPOSING. $.39 . DO YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH? FOR THEM TO BE

036ABLE TO , TO HAVE A LIVELIHOOD THAT IS GOOD FOR THEIR FAMILIES? FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES WHO ARE SUPPORT STAFF , THE LOWEST PAID IN THIS DISTRICT ? IS IT GOING TO BE CHALLENGING IN NEGOTIATIONS? ABSOLUTELY. I WOULD HOPE THAT WE, THAT WE CAN DO BETTER , THAT THE DISTRICT WILL DIG DEEP INTO THEIR POCKETS AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO BETTER FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES. THINK ABOUT IT. $.39. YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT $.39 IS ENOUGH ? LEGISLATORS THINK $.39 IS ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE THAT EARNS $16 AN HOUR? THINK ABOUT IT. THAT'S NOTHING AND THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. I'M DONE WITH MY REMARKS WITH THAT. SO, THE NEXT THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT , UNFORTUNATELY, WE LOST ONE OF OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS AND THAT GOT ME TO THINKING ABOUT OUR OWN SECURITY

037OFFICERS HERE IN THIS DISTRICT, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE DISTRICT MOBILE PATROL OFFICERS . IT GOT ME TO THINKING WHAT THEY DO . WHAT THEY DO IS THEY GO AROUND THE DISTRICT, PROTECTING THE DISTRICT PROPERTIES AT NIGHT . THEY DO HAVE GRAVEYARD SHIFTS. THEY DO THAT WITHOUT PROTECTION. MANY OF THEM ARE FORMER LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND OUT OF THEIR EXPERTISE, THEIR KNOWLEDGE, THEIR SKILLS, THEY ARE OUT THERE PROTECTING THE DISTRICT PROPERTIES. SO , WHAT DO THEY NEED? THINK ABOUT IT. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A BATON. THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. THEY DON'T HAVE PEPPER SPRAY. TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. SO, YES, WE WILL BE BRINGING TO THE TABLE , WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP THEM PROTECT THEMSELVES MORE? I , WE BRING THIS TO YOU , THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE IDEA THAT WE

038ARE WEAPON YOUR WEAPON RISING , WITHOUT PROTECTION . I HAVE HEARD IN THE PAST HOW THE BOARD, THEY DON'T WANT TO MILITARIZE OR WEAPON EYES ARE SECURITY GUARDS, BUT THINK ABOUT THOSE SECURITY GUARDS, WHAT THEY ARE DOING IT NIGHT , GOING AROUND, PROTECTING THE PROPERTY. THEY ARE GOING AROUND, MAKING SURE THAT THERE ARE NO TRESPASSERS. SO, THINK ABOUT IT. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING BUT THEIR SKILL, THEIR KNOWLEDGE, THEIR WITS, TO BE ABLE TO DO THE JOB THAT THEY ARE DOING. WE BRING TO THE TABLE , BATON, OVERSPRAY, OR EVEN A TASER AND WE BRING THIS TO YOU , AND YOU DECIDE NO, WE DON'T WANT TO DO THIS? I CHALLENGE YOU , I CHALLENGE YOU TO GO OUT THERE AND RIDE WITH THEM BEFORE YOU START THINKING THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY

039SHOULD HAVE. OKAY? THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR THIS EVENING AND I AM HERE FOR QUESTIONS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. MEMBERS, ANY QUESTIONS? I WILL BE TALKING TO YOU, MR. NOLAN. IT'S BECAUSE HE'S MY REPRESENTATIVE, YOU KNOW. OKAY. WATCH OUT. OKAY, THANK YOU BID THANK YOU. PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE STUDENT ADVISORY REPORT. TO WANT TO TALK FROM HERE? YES. . ON VALENTINE'S DAY, THE STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL HELPED TO HOST THE 11 LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE. THIS IS A STUDENT LED CONFERENCE HELD WITH THE PURPOSE OF GIVING STUDENTS WHO DON'T USUALLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO ATTEND A CONFERENCE OR WORKSHOP THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO . CAMERON KINLEY WAS THERE. HE IS AN INTELLIGENCE OFFICER , INTELLIGENCE OFFICER, A PUBLISHED AUTHOR, AND A DECORATED

040ATHLETE. HE CAME AS OUR MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER. HE WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED AND HE DID A GREAT JOB WITH HIS SPEECH AND A GREAT JOB ENCOURAGING OUR STUDENTS . THERE WAS AN EXPO OUTSIDE , WITH A LOT OF ACTIVITIES. COSMETOLOGY WAS OUT THERE GIVING SERVICES LIKE MANICURES AND FACIALS . DION'S PROVIDED THE LUNCH FOR US . THERE WERE AROUND 45 DIFFERENT STUDENTS FROM ALL OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS . THERE WAS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL , TO GUIDE STUDENTS AND ATTENDEES TO WHERE THEY NEEDED TO BE. WE LET THE INTRODUCTIONS AND THE WELCOMING AND THERE WERE AROUND 13 DIFFERENT STUDENT LED WORKSHOPS . OVERALL, IT WAS REALLY A STUDENT LED EVENT , AND IT GOT OUR KIDS MOTIVATED AND READY FOR WHAT THEY NEED TO DO . THANK YOU BID THANK

041YOU BID APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT. PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR KIDS . THAT'S PART OF THE INNOVATIONS EFFORT BUT WE ALSO STARTED WITH EASTPORT AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE TEAM FOR THEIR HARD WORK IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND ALL THE STUDENT LED EFFORTS, AS WELL, THAT BECAME A VERY POSITIVE LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. IT WAS CALLED 11 LEADERSHIP, RIGHT? YES. ANY QUESTIONS ? I HAVE ONE QUESTION. THANK YOU. I LOVED HEARING ABOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE. WERE THERE ANY ISSUES THAT YOU ALL DISCUSSED IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO BRING TO THE BOARD AND THINGS THAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT? I'M SURE YOU WOULD HAVE SAID . I'M GOING TO ASK ABOUT GRADUATION, WALKING ON GRADUATION, WHAT'S ALLOWED AND

042WHAT IS NOT? I KNOW IT'S NOT REALLY HOMOGENOUS ACROSS THE HIGH SCHOOLS, AND I KNOW AT CENTENNIAL, WE HAVE THE MOST LIMITATIONS ON OUR GRADUATION. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WEAR ANY STOLES OR ANY OF OUR ACHIEVEMENTS UNLESS IT IS AN HS TASSEL AND THAT'S IT. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY PROGRESS, OR , YEAH. IF I MAY? THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION AND ABSOLUTELY . WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION WITH ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS AND LOOKING AT THE , SOME OF THE FLEXIBILITY, IF YOU WILL, TO ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE ABLE, THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO DISPLAY SOME OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS , ALL OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE A DIFFERENT PATHWAY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AS THEY GET TO GRADUATION AND BEING ABLE TO DISPLAY THOSE WITHIN CERTAIN PARAMETERS , BUT THERE

043WILL BE SOME PARAMETERS AVAILABLE TO OUR STUDENTS TO PROVIDE OR DISPLAY THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS AS LONG AS THE DISTRICT AND SCHOOL ACTIVITIES , AND THE CULTURAL PEACE, AS WELL. WE LIVE IN A VERY DIVERSE CULTURAL COMMUNITY AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, INDIGENOUS LANDS THAT WE ARE HERE ON, IT'S JUST A GREAT CONVERSATION . THERE WILL BE SOME FLEXIBILITY, THERE. OKAY, THANK YOU BID THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT WHEN BECAUSE IT DOES BRING INTO QUESTION FAIRNESS ACROSS THE SCHOOLS. I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A FEW MORE ITEMS TO UPDATE THE BOARD ON. THIS FRIDAY, I AM HONORED TO BE AMONG SEVERAL LOCAL CELEBRITIES , BUT I'M NOT SURE I AM MUCH OF A CELEBRITY. LOCAL CELEBRITY FOR THE FIRST EVER GOLDEN TORTILLA EVENT . REALLY, IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO

044SUPPORT RL CPS FOUNDATION , FOR EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS TO BENEFIT THE FOUNDATION FOR CPS F.ORG. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AND WE WILL SEE HOW MY TORTILLA REALLY TURNS OUT. YES.

CONGRATULATIONS. [ APPLAUSE ] A QUICK UPDATE ON STRATEGIC PLANNING. AN OVERVIEW OF THE TIMELINE AND WHERE WE ARE. WE CAN POST THAT, THANK YOU.

WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO

049ALSO TURN THE TIME NOW TO DR. LOZANO , WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO JOIN US FOR THE PRESENTATION THAT HE IS UP NORTH WITH THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION ON AN EDUCATIONAL TASK FORCE, BUT WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION , ALONG WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT ARE HERE. I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR BEING HERE AND BEING GREAT PARTNERS IN THIS WORK AND UPDATING ARE SAFE AND HEALTHY CHILD INITIATIVES. THAT EVENING , MADAME PRESIDENT AND SUPERINTENDENT RELEASE AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THESE ARE ALL FRIENDS FROM FIY PLUS WHO PUT IN A LONG DAY TODAY TO JOIN US, THANK YOU BID I WANT TO WELCOME ALL OF THEM , IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS , THIS IS CEO CAVANAUGH FROM HIS TEAM AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I ALWAYS MESS THIS UP,

050OKAY. SO, THAT BUREAU OVERSEAS A PLETHORA OF POLICIES WITH STUDENT HEALTH NUTRITION , AND THE COMPONENTS OF SAFE AND HEALTHY SCHOOLS ARE LISTED IN THAT NEWLY ADOPTED LOCAL ON THE SLIDE , ALONG WITH SOMETHING COMING FROM THE CDC, THE WHOLE SCHOOL, WHOLE CHILDHOOD COMMUNITY APPROACH . IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT ALL OF THIS, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT I AM HERE PRESENTING TODAY, BUT IT TAKES THE LEADERS FROM ALL OF THESE DEPARTMENTS , DOING THIS WORK TOGETHER. WE ARE COMING TOGETHER AT LEAST QUARTERLY, IF NOT MORE OFTEN FOR THE SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETINGS, AND PARTNERING WITH ONE ANOTHER TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF THE COMPONENTS OF SAFE AND HEALTHY SCHOOLS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED IN LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS. I THINK WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB. WE BRING IN COMMUNITY PARTNERS , AS

051WELL. NOTABLY, AS OF LATE, WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THE SALE DEL NORTE ACTION FOR HEALTHY KIDS AND THE CITY COUNCIL HAS A TASK FORCE ON HEALTH POLICY . THEY'VE ALSO BEEN JOINING US . IN PARTICULAR, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT VAPING AND VAPING PREVENTION. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT OVERVIEW. ALL OF THAT IS STILL HAPPENING. TONIGHT IS ABOUT NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON THAT I AM EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU. WE ARE GOING TO BE TOUCHING BASE ON THIS ANONYMOUS REPORTING APP AND TWO VIOLENCE REDUCTION GRANTS, ONE I'VE TOLD YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT AND MY PARTNERS ARE GOING TO SHARE MORE ABOUT THAT , AND THEN WE HAVE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS FOR ALL STUDENTS . I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MY FRIEND, LOGAN , AND WE'VE ALL BECOME FRIENDS. THESE PEOPLE

052WORK SO CLOSELY WITH US, SO I WILL TURN IT OVER TO LOGAN. GOOD EVENING . FIRST OF ALL, I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A WATER FOUNTAIN HERE SO MY MOUTH IS PARCHED. JUST KIDDING. IT'S OKAY. I'LL SURVIVE. WE'VE GOT BOTTLES. LOTS OF WATER. >> THANK YOU. YOU ARE GOOD. NO PRESSURE. GOOD EVENING . MY NAME IS LOGAN HOWARD . IT'S NICE TO SPEND THIS EVENING WITH YOU . MY NAME IS LOGAN HOWARD, AND THE MANAGER OF COMMUNITY IMPACT AND AS AMY SAID , I AM GRATEFUL TO BE SHARING THE STAGE WITH AMY TODAY. WE'VE HAD THE GRACIOUS OPPORTUNITY TO WALK ALONGSIDE THE DISTRICT SO BEFORE I GET INTO THE PROGRAM, I WANTED TO MENTION A BIT ABOUT OUR AGENCY. FYI -- FIY , I WANTED TO MENTION A BIT ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP. FOR THE

053SAKE OF TIME , WE ARE NOT GOING TO IN DEPTH BUT I WANTED TO MENTION A FEW THINGS. WE HAVE AN EXISTING M.O. YOU FOR OUTPATIENT AND COMMUNITY CCS SERVICES AND WE HAVE AMERICORPS, WHICH FOCUSES ON AFTERSCHOOL AND CLASS SUPPORTS AND THE HOST AT RISK MEALS FOR AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS. I ALSO WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS BEFORE WE GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THE PROGRAM AND PURPOSE, SO THIS ENTIRE PROCESS HAS BEEN COLLABORATIVE , EVEN THE GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS WAS COLLABORATIVE. WE GOT FEEDBACK FROM AMY AND HER TEAM AS HE DID THE APPLICATION. THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM AS WE CAME OUT OF THE PROCESS IS LEVIED A PROJECT ON THE GO. THIS WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION AND TO GO INTO THE

054INTENDED PURPOSE, INTENDED PURPOSE IS TO GRATE SAFER COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOL SETTINGS BY USING TRAUMA INFORMED AND EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES TO PREVENT AND RESPOND TO VIOLENCE AND WE WILL BE USING THIS USING EMOTIONAL LEARNING FOR YOUTH AND ADULT FOR ADMIN, STAFF, AND FAMILIES AND I WANT TO BE SURE IN THIS PARTNERSHIP THAT WE ARE INTENTIONAL. WE ARE WANTING TO ENHANCE AND SUPPORT WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT OUR CHOSEN SCHOOLS. WE DID CHOOSE LOMA HEIGHTS, VALLEY VIEW, AND SIERRA. THEY WERE CHOSEN BASED ON THE DATA AND WE LOOKED AT HIGH LEVEL OF VIOLENCE INCIDENT IN SCHOOLS AND OVERLOOKING, LOOKING AT CRIME RATES IN THE AREAS. WE LOOKED AT SCHOOLS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF VIOLENCE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE CHOOSING SCHOOLS IN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAD GENERAL HIGH CRIME RATES.

055THESE SCHOOLS ARE ALSO CHOSEN BASED ON THE FEAR MODEL. LOMA HEIGHTS AND VALLEY VIEW BOTH FEET INTO SIERRA, SO WE HOPE TO WORK WITH THE YOUTH AS THEY GO THROUGH THEIR EDUCATION EXPERIENCE STARTING WITH ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WE HOPE TO ONE DAY EXPAND TO HIGH SCHOOLS TO GIVE THE FULL SYSTEM EXPERIENCE. THE CURRICULUMS WE USE OUR SECOND STEP, IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ALL-STAR AND MIDDLE SCHOOL. BOTH HAVE A YOUTH COMPONENT AND AN ADULT COMPONENT AND WE WILL BE DISTRIBUTING THIS WITH AN INNOVATIVE TIERED MODEL , A THREE-TIERED MODEL APPROACH AND I WANT TO GO OVER THIS , SO IT'S AND --A UNIVERSAL BASED APPROACH SO WE PRESENTED THE CURRICULUM TO EVERYONE IN SCHOOL AND WE DO THAT FOR A VARIETY OF WAYS. WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING THINGS LIKE THE PRINCIPLES ACADEMY

056WHERE HE RESOURCE THE PRINCIPALS, THE STAFF, THE COUNSELORS, SOCIAL WORKERS AND LOOK AT THEIR SAFETY PLANS AND FAMILY NIGHTS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ENGAGING THE YOUTH AND THE FAMILIES TO MAKE SURE THE YOUTH AND THE FAMILIES AND THE STAFF ARE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE STUDENT ASSEMBLIES. WE'VE INCORPORATED DANCE, MUSIC , WE ARE STEPPING IN AND GETTING STUDENTS ENGAGE WHILE ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE INCORPORATING SOME OF THESE COMPONENTS INTO THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING. WE HAVE OUR FIRST ASSEMBLY TOMORROW WHICH I WILL TOUCH ON LATER AND AS IT GOES INTO THOSE TEARS, IT GETS MORE TARGETED. HERE IS WHERE WE GET INTO CASE MANAGEMENT AND ENSURING , THIS IS DONE BY REFERRAL. A STUDENT COUNSELOR, SOCIAL WORKER, TEACHER, OR A SELF-REFERRAL CAN COME TO OUR SUCCESS COACHES AND

057FROM THERE, SUCCESS COACHES WILL CONNECT THEM TO RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS , AND THAT COULD BE A PLETHORA OF THINGS. I WON'T HAVE TIME TO GO INTO ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE COULD CONNECT THEM TO BUT FAMILY SUPPORT, DANCE, YOGA, FOOD BOXES, SUPPLIES , THE LIST GOES ON , AND ONCE IT GOES UP INTO TIER THREE, STUDENTS FACING A MORE ACUTE SITUATION . THIS IS WHERE WE STREAMLINE CONNECTION TO SERVICES PARTICULARLY OUTPATIENT SERVICES AND ASSISTING WITH CRISIS INTERVENTION. ONE WAY THAT LOOKS AS THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO OUR 24 SEVEN PROTOCOL NUMBER WHICH YOU CAN THINK OF AS A PERSONAL 24 7988 A NUMBER WHERE WE CAN HELP WITH THE AESCHYLUS STATION ON-SITE AND HELP IN THE MOMENT. ONE THING I WANTED TO TOUCH ON IS EVALUATION . FOR THE SAKE OF TIME, I CANNOT

058SHOW YOU THE FULL EVALUATION PLAN BUT I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW WE ARE EVALUATING TO BE SURE THE PROGRAM IS MEETING THE AND ARE SERVING THE YOUTH THE WAY THEY DESERVE AND WORKING WITH THE DISTRICT THE WAY THEY DESERVE AS WELL. SOME OF OUR SHORT-TERM MEASUREMENTS ARE LESS DISCIPLINARY INCIDENTS, REDUCING SUSPENSION AND CITATIONS IN THE SCHOOL SETTING . SOME OF THE LONG-TERM MEASUREMENTS ARE LOWER INCARCERATION RATES, IMPROVED ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, AND WE WILL DO THIS IN COLLABORATION WITH SCHOOLS, SO WORKING WITH AMY , USING DATA FROM STOP IT AND SYNERGY, AND MONITORING REFERRALS AND INTERACTIONS . THAT WRAPS IT UP FOR ME AND I WANTED TO MENTION THE IMPLEMENTATION STARTS TOMORROW SO WE HAVE OUR FIRST ASSEMBLY TOMORROW THURSDAY, AND ASSEMBLIES FRIDAYS AND THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN GREAT. WE WORK WITH STUDENT LEADERSHIP AS WE

059BEEN MEETING WITH STUDENT LEADERSHIP , SO WE HAVE STUDENTS TELLING TEACHERS WHAT TO DO AND NOT AND COMING BACK AND SHOWING PROGRESS ONCE THE PROGRAM IS FURTHER IMPLEMENTED. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR LOGAN BEFORE HE SITS DOWN AND WE GO ON WITH THE PRESENTATION? QUICK QUESTION. WHAT IS THE GRANT FOR? TWO YEARS. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE DOING A LOT AND IT IS EXCITING. I OFFER THE SUPPORT THAT WE CAN BECAUSE THAT IS NEEDED IN OUR SCHOOLS. I WILL MAKE A COMMENT , AS FAR AS KIDS ASSEMBLIES AND DANCE. YOU HAVE THOSE MOVES, SO I KNOW WE ARE IN GOOD HANDS. I'VE SEEN YOUR FUNDRAISER LIP-SYNCH BATTLES AND THAT IS , YOU ARE SO TALENTED , WHAT YOU DO FOR YOUTH AND COMMUNITY IS AT THE CORE OF WHAT WE NEED AND

060WHAT WE APPRECIATE . THANK YOU. QUICKLY, BEFORE AMY CONTINUES WITH THE OTHER DATA, WE ARE GOING TO SHARE, JUST TO POINT OUT A GREAT EXAMPLE OF OUR DISTRICT PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND THE SUPPORT THEY PROVIDE, AS YOU HEARD, VERY STRATEGIC IN THE CONSIDERATIONS OF THE SCHOOLS THAT WERE SELECT DID , WELL-ROUNDED SUPPORT, AND THEN THE OTHER IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS IS IMPACT. PROGRESS MONITORING. AS WE LOOK AT THESE EFFORTS, AS WE HAVE THESE PARTNERSHIPS, WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN REPLICATE THE SUCCESSES AND OTHER SCHOOLS. THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS AND OUR TEAM FOR THE OPPORTUNITY ON THIS GRANT. THANK YOU. YEAH, THANK YOU. SOUNDS GOOD. I GOT YOU. SO, THANK YOU. GREAT JOB. THAT CAN BE NERVE-RACKING. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ACTUALLY MEETING THE SUCCESS COACHES IN PERSON BUT THEY WILL

061BE FULL-TIME IN OUR SCHOOLS, JUST TO BE CLEAR. THIS IS A REALLY HUGE DEAL, THOUGH, WELCOME. IN ADDITION , AGAIN, THIS SEEMS TO BE THE YEAR OF GREAT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP. WE ALSO HAVE A GRANT FROM A MUCH SMALLER GRANT, FROM THE OFFICE FOR JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION . THEY WERE ALSO GRANTED, AWARDED THAT GRANT , SO THEY ARE IMPLEMENTING A VIOLENCE REDUCTION CURRICULUM AS WELL AND ARE STARTING AT CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL , OUR GPI, AND STUDENT SUCCESS ACADEMY AND THEY ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING INTO ALL OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS. YEAH. A LOT GOING ON AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS. IN ADDITION TO OUR PARTNERSHIPS THAT DIRECT EFFORT AND VIOLENCE REDUCTION, I WANTED TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE MY INVITED GUEST BECAUSE HE REALLY TOOK

062THE LEAD ON GETTING THIS IMPLEMENTED SO I WANT TO BE SURE TO RECOGNIZE HIM. SO FAR, THE APP LAUNCHED IN EARLY OCTOBER , INFORMATION WENT OUT TO FAMILIES . WE HAD PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS FOR STUDENTS AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE SO FAR. IN ELEMENTARY, WE'VE HAD A REPORT . YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE CATEGORIES, HOW MANY WE'VE HAD, AND THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. MOST ARE COMING FROM STUDENTS AND MOST OF THE REPORTS ARE VALID. WE ARE NOT GETTING A LOT OF PRANKS OR SILLINESS. I SEE EVERY REPORT THAT COMES IN AND SO DOES OUR TEAM AND WE HAVE GOTTEN REALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT HONESTLY, WE WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN OTHERWISE. I DID WANT TO SHARE THAT I DID NOT REALIZE THIS UNTIL YESTERDAY, OR I WOULD HAVE HAD IN THE PRESENTATION, I DOWNLOADED THE STUDENT

063UP. I ONLY HAD THE ADMIN VERSION AND WHEN I DID, I NOTICED THERE IS A RED BUTTON FRONT AND CENTER THAT THE STUDENTS CAN CLICK AND IT TAKES THEM DIRECTLY TO A CRISIS LINE THAT IS MANNED, 24 SEVEN , AND THE KIDS CAN GET IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO A CRISIS COUNSELOR . I REACHED OUT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT AND SURE ENOUGH, THEY SUPERVISE THAT EVERY DAY AND 27 OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE INTERACTED WITH THE CRISIS COUNSELORS THROUGH THAT CRISIS UP . THAT IS AN ADDED BENEFIT I DID NOT REALIZE WE HAD THAT I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT. THIS IS OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL DATA , SO YOU CAN HAVE A QUICK LOOK AT THAT. IT HAS BEEN THE MOST UTILIZED IN HIGH SCHOOL, WITH 26 TOTAL SO FAR. I DID TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT SOME

064OF THE OTHERS WERE, AND IT'S STUFF LIKE , YOU KNOW, MY FRIENDS JUST JUMPED THE FENCE OUT FRONT AND THEY ARE RUNNING ACROSS OR WHATEVER, STUFF THAT DID NOT QUITE FIT IN THE OTHER CATEGORIES. SO, AND THEN OF COURSE, A REMINDER OF ALL OF THE POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT WE HAVE IN PLACE TO SUPPORT , WE TAKE THE SAFE AND HEALTHY SCHOOLS INITIATIVE VERY SERIOUSLY. TO DO A QUICK REMINDER OF SUPPORTS WE HAVE IN PLACE , TO KEEP KIDS INTERESTED AND ENGAGED , BUT TRULY TO KEEP THEM HEALTHY . SOME OF THE ONES I AM MOST PROUD OF , AGAIN, FROM NUTRITION SERVICES, BREAKFAST AFTER THE BELL . IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TIME A STUDENT ARRIVES AT SCHOOL , ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL LUNCH, THEY CAN HAVE BREAKFAST. I LOVE BREAKFAST IN THE CLASSROOM AND

065WE HAVE EQUIPPED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS WITH SOCIALLY AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING LESSONS SPECIFIC TO A FAMILY-STYLE MEAL AND THEY ARE DOING IT WITH THEIR CLASSMATES. SOME OF MY FAVORITES. OF COURSE , I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT E-SPORTS AND THE INNOVATION ZONE AND THE NEW STUFF WE HAVE COMING UP. THINGS, WHERE WE WANT TO GO NEXT, WE'VE HAD GREAT SUCCESS WITH LEADER IN THE TO SEE IF PERHAPS WE CAN GET THAT INTO MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS . WE ARE LOOKING AT STUDENT LED RESTORATIVE PRACTICES. WE HAVE RESOURCES FOR THAT. WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, IS PEER MEDIATION . ALSO, AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE PILOTING THE STANDARDS-BASED CREDIT RECOVERY AND THE DROPOUT RECOVERY INITIATIVE THAT JUST LAUNCHED 10 DAYS AGO AND THEN , WE ARE GOING TO RESEARCH AND SEE WHAT OUR INNOVATIONS , LIKE

066E-SPORTS AND THE INNOVATION ZONE IS DOING TO MAKE STUDENTS FEEL HAPPY AND ENGAGED AT SCHOOL. WE ALSO HAD A GREAT RESPONSE RATE ON A DISTRICTWIDE SEL SURVEY THAT WENT OUT, THOUSANDS OF RESPONDENTS AND WE ARE JUST GETTING ACCESS TO THAT DATA BUT THAT WILL COME WITH A GUIDE ON NEXT STEPS TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS , SO WE ARE JUST LOOKING INTO THAT AND OUR EQUITY COUNSEL IS GOING TO BE LED TO MRS. KINGERY AND DR. LOZANO , TO GO OUT INTO SCHOOLS AND TRY TO ELICIT STUDENT VOICES, ESPECIALLY FROM DIVERSE GROUPS OF STUDENTS , SO JUST MORE STUFF THAT WE HAVE COMING UP . LOTS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GOING ON THAT WE HAVE THE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID AND THE QPR CONTINUING FOR IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER, THESE ARE GATEKEEPER TRAININGS , MEANT TO TEACH

067ADULTS WHO INTERACT WITH KIDS OFTEN HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND RESPOND TO A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. ANOTHER GREAT ONE IS THE TRAUMA INFORMED KIDS YOGA TEACHER TRAINING. WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 35 TEACHERS AND SOCIAL WORKERS BECOME CERTIFIED TRAUMA INFORMED YOGA IN STRUCTURES WHICH TEACHES EMBODIMENT, CONNECTION, AND EMPOWERMENT AND IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTION FOR MENTAL HEALTH . I WON'T GO INTO ALL OF THOSE BUT THOSE ARE JUST A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS. THAT IS WHAT I HAVE, THIS EVENING. I WILL STAY ON FOR QUESTIONS IF BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANYTHING . BOARD MEMBERS, ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? MR. FRANK? THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION . IT I KNOW THESE KINDS OF BEHAVIORS AFFECT STUDENT OUTCOMES AND ACHIEVEMENT , SO THAT'S CREDIBLY IMPORTANT. WHAT IS E-SPORTS? OH BOY. DR. MILLER TOMLINSON, YOU WANT TO HELP ME WITH THIS ONE? I EVEN WORE

068MY E-SPORTS SHIRT TODAY. I CHANGED INTO SOMETHING MORE FORMAL FOR YOU BUT NOW I WISH I KEPT IT ON. SO, E-SPORTS IS A ACADEMIC GAMING. WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT COMPETE , IT IS A SANCTIONED ACTIVITY . THERE ARE FIVE OR SIX SANCTIONED GAMES THAT STUDENTS COMPETE IN WITH OTHERS ACROSS THE STATE . IT'S QUITE POPULAR. WE HAVE OUR FIRST STUDENT RECEIVED A COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP LAST YEAR IN E-SPORTS WHO NOW COMPETES . AS WE KNOW , GAMING IS A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS AND THERE ARE MANY CONNECTIONS TO INDUSTRY, BUT IT'S ALSO A GREAT WAY TO ENGAGE STUDENTS AND SO WE HAVE E-SPORTS IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOLS, AND WITHOUT A LOT OF INTEREST FROM OUR ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES AND TEACHERS , SO WE WILL BE INTRODUCING GAMING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. OKAY, THANK YOU. >> I COULD GO

069ON. IT'S VERY COOL, IT'S HARD TO REALLY IMAGINE WITHOUT ACTUALLY SEEING IT LIVE. THERE'S SO MUCH LEARNING THAT CAN GO ON WITH IT. I WAS NOT A FAN WHEN I FIRST HEARD OF IT BECAUSE I, IN MY MIND, LIKE , LESS SCREEN TIME, BETTER FOR KIDS, LESS VIDEO GAMES, BETTER FOR KIDS, AND I'VE DONE A 180 BECAUSE THE FACT IS KIDS ARE GOING TO BE GAMING ANYWAY. THIS IS SUCH A GREAT WAY FOR THEM TO GAME AND LEARN AND I COULD GO ON AS WELL, BUT I WILL NOT. WE WILL DO AN E-SPORT ONLY PRESENTATION FOR YOU LATER. IT WAS AT OREGON MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL. WHEN WAS IT? >> NOVEMBER. IT WAS ANOTHER WORLD. THESE PEOPLE PUT ON SUCH A PRODUCTION AND YOU HAD A THEATER WITH TEAMS ON THE STAGE AND SCREENS SET UP

070WHERE YOU COULD SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING , THEY ARE PLAYING, THE WHOLE AUDIENCE IS FILLED WITH KIDS GOING CRAZY AND YOU HAVE COMMENTATORS ON THE SIDE WHO ARE PROFESSIONAL, AND THEN OUR OWN STUDENTS LEARNING FROM THAT PERSON AND THEN YOU HAVE A CULINARY PART OF IT. WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO CREATE , I GUESS, PASTRIES OR CAKES THAT ARE INSPIRED BY VIDEO GAMES AND THEN YOU HAD ELEMENTARY KIDS AND MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS DOING ARTWORK. EVERYBODY WAS INVOLVED AND I WAS IMPRESSED. THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY. THANK YOU BID THAT WAS VERY MUCH THE DEPARTMENT OF INSTRUCTIONS WORK. ANYONE ELSE? SO, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO AND FYI PLUS, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND DOING WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND I LOVE THAT

071WE ARE CREATING THESE PARTNERSHIPS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE AS MR. FRANK SAID, ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS COME INTO CREATING A SUCCESSFUL HUMAN AND THE --WHEN THEY LEAVE OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THANK YOU. I WOULD LOVE TO JUST SEE THE STUDENT ASSEMBLY WHENEVER THAT HAPPENS , INVITES OR WHATEVER BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THOSE. I WILL FORWARD INVITES FOR THE UPCOMING POINT TOMORROW, WE HAVE AN ASSEMBLY, TOMORROW, THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY, VALLEY VIEW AND SIERRA FRIDAY. WELL --YOU ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND AND WE MAY HAVE A SPOT OPEN IF YOU WANT TO JUMP IN ON THE SKIT. LET ME KNOW. WHAT'S MY MOTIVATION? YOUR MOTIVATION IS TO, YOU CAN STOP CYBER BULLYING, THAT COULD BE YOUR MOTIVATION. ABSOLUTELY. I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, GOING BACK TO THE GRANT ITSELF. WHERE DID IT COME FROM? OH,

072LIKE THE FUNDING? >> MM-HMM. IT IS A FEDERAL GRANT AND IT IS FROM THE OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION. HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN DOING THIS? HAVE THEY BEEN PROVIDING THIS TYPE OF MONIES FOR -- I DON'T HAVE IT FOR YOU. I CAN GOOGLE. I JUST WANT THIS TO BE SOMETHING SUSTAINABLE. GRANTS IS A GREAT START JUST A KIND OF WORKOUT WHAT IS GOING TO BE BEST FOR OUR SCHOOLS AND KIDS, BUT I , LIKE, WHEN I HEAR SIX ACTS COACHES IN TIER 2 AND WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING WITH REFERRALS, I KNOW THAT IS NEEDED, SO WHY WOULD WE ONLY NEED TWO YEARS OF A. WE WOULD LOVE TO SECURE SUSTAINING OPTIONS. I THINK IN THIS SITUATION IT'S BEEN SHORT, BUT REALLY WORKING WITH THIS STUDENT LEADERSHIP IT WITH GREAT RESULTS WE

073WILL JUST GATHER THE DATA AND EFFICACY AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO TAKE SOME SUSTAINABLE FUNDING FOR IT. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR STARTING OFF THIS WEEK. I THINK I HAVE AN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION. SINCE APRIL OF 2021, BIDEN ANNOUNCED THE LAUNCH OF THE COMMUNITY VIOLENCE PREVENTION INITIATIVE, WHICH STARTED TO SHOOT OFF THESE GRANTS. OKAY. YEAH. >> THANK YOU , PRESIDENT TENORIO AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT BRUITS. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM A HAND FURTHER EFFORT. MR. RUIZ, IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS ON THE THINGS YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR REPORT? YES. YES, I KNOW. JUST KIND OF LETTING IT KEEP GOING. ANY QUESTIONS? WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN , BUT ANYTHING SPECIFIC ABOUT THE TIMELINE, OR THE REVISIONS TO KE CRR K

074EFR , WHICH YOU WILL SEE BY THE END OF TOMORROW? OKAY. THANK YOU PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. A LITTLE LENGTHY TODAY. I WANTED TO GIVE OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXIT EARLY TODAY SAID THEY WERE PART OF MY REPORT, SO THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY REPORT, THANK YOU. WE ARE MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM 5V , NEW BUSINESS. WHICH WAS MENTIONED IN COMMISSIONER BRUITS REPORT ON THE NEXT STEPS. WE ARE LOOKING AT A 9:00 A.M. TO 4:00 P.M. DAYLONG EVENT, AND IF YOU CAN LOOK AT YOUR CALENDARS FOR MARCH 15th, OR THE 22nd. IS MR. WOFFORD STILL WITH US? I AM , AND I AM AVAILABLE BOTH FRIDAYS. AND YOU DID NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ANYTHING ELSE? I WOULD'VE COMPLIMENTED THEM ON HOW THEY USED MONEY OVER THE YEARS. THEY

075USED THE TOBACCO SETTLEMENT MONEY TO DO SCHOOL INITIATIVES BACK WHEN I WAS --OF VJ ESSAY. THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO KEEP THIS GRANT GOING. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT CALLING ON YOU EARLIER. YOU CALLED ON ME, BUT I THOUGHT I COULD , I COULD KEEP THAT TO MYSELF, BUT THEN YOU ASKED. HE LOOKS LIKE A TALKING CACTUS. WITH AN UNSTABLE INTERNET . GOT YOU. YOU SAID YOU WERE AVAILABLE THE 15th AND THE 22nd. THAT IS THURSDAY . I THOUGHT THEY WERE BOTH FRIDAY. NO, FRIDAY. >> PRESIDENT TENORIO, I AM ONLY AVAILABLE ON MARCH 15. I HOPE THAT DOESN'T MESS ANYBODY UP . THAT KILLS ME. >> DOES IT? YEAH. SPRING BREAK. OH. I CAN DO THE 15th. I GUESS I WONDER IF IT IS ENOUGH TIME FOR STAFF , WITH THE AMBITIOUS TIMELINE, THE SOONER

076WE HAVE THAT STRATEGIC RETREAT PROBABLY MAKES THE MOST SENSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUT IT IS A WEEK. I AM AVAILABLE ON THE 15th MUSCLE I CAN DO THAT. I AM ALSO AVAILABLE THE 22nd. >> I CAN BE AVAILABLE VIRTUALLY ON THE 22nd. DR. RUIZ, IS THERE ANY WISH ON YOUR SIDE ON HAVING AN EXTRA WEEK ? WE SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE BOARD, PRESIDENT TENORIO , WHATEVER DAY WORKS FOR YOU. ARE WE WORKING MOSTLY WITH CES? CES AS WELL AS OUR FORMER SECRETARY OF EDUCATION WHO WILL BE HERE . OKAY. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE 15th. LET'S PUT THAT IN THERE. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING FROM 9:00 A.M. TO 4:00 P.M. ON MARCH 15 , 2024.

077SO MOVED. >> SECOND. SO MOVED BY MADAME CORT, SECOND BY MR. FRANK . AND WE WILL NEED A ROLE. [ ROLL BEING CALLED ] THAT MOTION PASSES 5-0. HE IS SO PRICKLY. NEXT WE HAVE DISCUSSION AND A POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF MOVING APRIL 16 , 2024 REGULAR BOARD MEETING TO ANOTHER DATE, DUE TO THE NMS BA REGION SEVEN MEETING SCHEDULED ON THAT SAME DAY. LOOK AT YOUR CALENDARS, MOVING APRIL 16, NO WE ARE MOVING APRIL 16 FOR THE REGION SEVEN MEETING TO THOSE WHO COULD ATTEND, AND LOOKING AT , SO THAT IS A REGULAR SESSION. WAS THE WORK SESSION ON THE SECOND? YES , THE WORK SESSION IS ON THE SECOND. DO YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE 23rd? THAT'S FINE. I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE SCHOOL CALENDAR . APRIL. I AM FLEXIBLE ABOUT THOSE DAYS.

078THIS IS A REGULAR 6:00 BOARD MEETING? YES IT WOULD BE A REGULAR SESSION , 6:00 OR 5:00 FOR THE CLOSED. SO THE 23rd ON THE CALENDAR THERE IS NOTHING. THE 22nd IS A REMOTE LEARNING ACTIVITIES BECAUSE OF TEACHER PLANNING. ALSO EARTH DAY . EARTH DAY . THIS IS POST EARTH DAY, THE 23rd . ARE YOU INTERESTED IN MOVING OUR REGULAR SESSION TO TUESDAY, APRIL 23rd? I AM AVAILABLE. THAT WORKS FOR ME. >> THANK YOU, MR. FRANK. OKAY, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE MOVING THE APRIL 16, 2024 REGULAR BOARD MEETING TO TUESDAY, APRIL 23, DUE TO NMSBA REGION SEVEN MEETING SCHEDULED ON THE SAME DATE. SO MOVED. >> SECOND. SO MOVED BY MR. NOLAN AND SECOND BY MR. FRANK. SORRY, MEMBER FRANK. MR. FRANK? YES. I WAS PUTTING IT INTO MY CALENDAR. MR. NOLAN?

079YES. >> SECRETARY WOFFORD ? I VOTE YES, THIS TIME NOT A CACTUS. VICE PRESIDENT CORT VOTES YES . AND PRESIDENT TENORIO? I VOTE YES. THAT MOTION PASSES. AND NOW WE HAVE AGENDA ITEM FIVE B3, DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2024 NMSBA EXCELLENCE IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS . I DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT IN FRONT OF ME TO EXPLAIN THIS A WORD, BUT DOES ANYONE, DOES ANYBODY WANT TO SUMMARIZE WHAT IT IS? PRESIDENT TENORIO , CAN WE HAVE COLIN MOVED TO THAT PAGE IN THE BACK AND THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL IF OTHER PEOPLE NEED TO CHECK IT OUT? THERE WE GO. THAT'S IT. SO, I WILL SUMMARIZE. THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IS GIVEN EVERY YEAR BY THE NMSBA , BUT IN OUR NAME AS WELL . EACH DISTRICT CAN SUBMIT A PERSON OR GROUP

080, AND THE PLAQUE IS CREATED TO RECOGNIZE THAT PERSON OR GROUP . HOWEVER, THE CAVEAT IS THAT WE COULD SUBMIT MORE NOMINATIONS AS LONG AS THE DISTRICT OR THE BOARD AGREES TO PAY FOR THOSE PLAQUES. SO IN THE PAST, YOU COULD EITHER JUST HAVE ONE, OR YOU COULD HAVE FIVE OR 10 . I HAVE SEEN OTHER DISTRICTS GET A LITTLE A WORD CRAZY AND GO UP TO 20. AND THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IS NOT ABOUT , IT'S NOT FOR STUDENTS . IT'S ABOUT, IT IS USUALLY ADULTS ASSISTING OR HELPING SUPPORT STUDENTS TO , TO MEET ACHIEVEMENT . I HOPE THAT HELPS. OKAY. SO, DO WE HAVE ANY , I HAVE A PERSON IN MIND. WOULD ANYBODY ELSE TO START WITH THEIR NOMINATIONS? DEFINITELY. >> MR. FRANK. I THINK WE SHOULD COUGH UP THE $100 AND

081GIVE IT TO ALL THREE THAT HAVE BEEN NOMINATED AND PUT BEFORE US, BECAUSE I CERTAINLY COULD NOT FIND ANY WAY TO PICK ONE OF THOSE THREE. I THINK THEY ARE ALL WORTHY OF THE AWARD , AND FOR ME IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE TWO OF THEM. SO I THINK AN EXPLANATION IS NEEDED FOR THE PUBLIC THAT AT THE LAST, AT THE BOARD RETREAT IS WHEN WE WERE FIRST NOTIFIED, LIKE , HEY EVERYBODY, THINK ABOUT WHO YOU WOULD NOMINATE. AND THEN THE DISTRICT , THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE AND I THINK DEPARTMENT LEADERS HAVE BEEN ALSO THINKING OF WHO THEY WOULD RECOMMEND THE BOARD TO NOMINATE , SO THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY NOMINATING BECAUSE THAT IS OUR JOB, BUT THEY CAN , BUT THEY DID HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE THREE -- I HAVE TWO

082OF THE THREE. OKAY. >> PRESIDENT TENORIO. MR. WOFFORD ? THEY WERE THE BILINGUAL PROGRAM -- AND THEN THE SERVICES -- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY . SO IS THAT SUFFICIENT AS FAR AS WHAT WE ARE CALLING THEM? SO IT IS THE BILINGUAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM . OKAY. BILINGUAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM. AND THE -- [ INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] IN AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT? IT'S INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY -- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY? >> JUST TECHNOLOGY. TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT -- >> TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT SERVICES TECHNICAL TEAM. SERVICES TECHNICAL TEAM. SO THAT IS MATT DOCKINS AND -- OKAY. SO ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THESE THREE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE ARE YOU ALL ON BOARD? I'M JUST RELIEVED THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO JUST PICK ONE. I WAS DREADING IT. THAT WOULD BE REALLY HARD, YES. WELL DONE, EVERYBODY. >> I HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING I

083HAVE WANTED TO SAY ABOUT BOTH OUTREACH, IF YOU WILL ALLOW IT. IT IS SHORT . I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SHARE. PLEASE. SO , THE BILINGUAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM, THE OVERARCHING PERSON IN THAT DEPARTMENT IS DR. --BUT BEN SERRANO, MARTHA JASMINE, -- KARINA HERRERA, SO THESE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE DIVIDE SOCIAL SUPPORTS, ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND INTERVENTION SERVICES TO FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. SOME OF THE SERVICES THEY DIVIDE ARE THE EMPOWERED PARENTS ACADEMY, WHICH PROVIDES LCPS PARENTS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMS. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO VISIT LAST YEAR WITH SECRETARY WOFFORD, OR IT MIGHT'VE BEEN THE YEAR BEFORE THAT, AND IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE ALL OF THE ADULTS LEARNING A SECOND OR THIRD LANGUAGE, ALL WORKING TOWARD THEIR GED , OR LEARNING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY . IT WAS SUCH , AND WAS SUCH

084A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT SEEING OUR COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY, EVERYONE , BECAUSE IN ESSENCE EVERYONE IS INVOLVED IN MAKING OUR STUDENTS SUCCESSFUL ADULTS, AND JUST AS A SIDE NOTE THAT I JUST BELIEVE THAT A COMMUNITY IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS, AND THE BILINGUAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM PROMOTES CONNECTED AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES FOR EVERYONE , SO IT LIFTS EVERYONE UP. IF ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE BILINGUAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM? I HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY WHEN WE GAVE THE ACTUAL WORD. OH, OKAY. SO I, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SHARE THAT THE BILINGUAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH, AT ONE POINT THEY INVITED ME TO JOIN THEM TO VISIT AN AFGHAN EAT REFUGEE FAMILY IN THEIR HOME, AND IT WAS JUST SO

085POWERFUL , AND I JUST HAD ANOTHER LEVEL OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE HIRE THAT DO THE WORK FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES, AND MAY BE ABLE COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER TO SAY BY THE TIME WE GIVE OUT THE PLAQUE, BUT THEY DO A LOT. YEAH, THEY DO INDEED. OKAY. I HAVE ONE NOMINEE . IT WOULD BE KATHY V HILL IN STUDENT ATTENDANCE. I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF HER SINCE I FIRST HEARD OF HER AND THE WORK SHE IS DOING , AND I WANTED TO GIVE HER THAT INDIVIDUAL RECOGNITION , AND YEAH, IF I NEED TO GO ON, SHE WROTE A GRANT AND BECAUSE OF HER WE HAVE SOCIAL WORKERS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR OUR KIDS WHERE IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO COME TO SCHOOL. I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR HER

086AND THAT'S MY NOMINEE. THAT IS A GREAT NOMINEE. THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ENTERTAIN THE NOTION TO APPROVE THE NOMINATIONS AS DISCUSSED IN OPEN SESSION FOR THE 2024 NMSBA EXCELLENCE IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS . SO MOVED. I WILL SECOND. EXCELLENT. THAT IS MOVED BY CORT . SECOND BY TENORIO. [ ROLL BEING CALLED ] THAT MOTION PASSES 5-0. VERY WELL. EXELAND. NOW WE HAVE, LET'S SEE, A PRESENTATION WITH DR. WENDI MILLER-TOMLINSON ON THE BEGINNING OF YEAR AND MIDDLE OF YOUR DATA. WHEN SHE GET STARTED WITH THE PRESENTATION AGAIN. AS YOU CAN RECALL IN THE BACK IN OCTOBER WE DID THE M.O.Y. AND WE FELT THAT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, ALSO COMING IN THE SUPERINTENDENT REALLY WANTED TO DIG DEEP INTO THE DATA HERE TODAY IS GOING TO BE AN OVERVIEW OF ALL

087OF THE DATA FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR. WE ARE CONSTANTLY CONTINUOUSLY LOOKING AT DATA , WORKING WITH THE PRINCIPALS. WE AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT WAS TODAY THAT WE ROLLED OUT THE DATATYPE FRAMEWORK WITH DR. WENDI , AND HOW TO REUSE THE DATA WITH OUR PLCS, AND HOW THAT HELPS US , AND WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DR. WENDI THANK YOU . IT IS NICE TO BE WITH YOU THIS EVENING AND SHARE SOME DATA , SO WE WILL JUMP INTO IT. THIS IS FROM THE OCTOBER PRESENTATION THAT MR. RUIZ ALLUDED TO A MOMENT AGO , AND IN THE TIMELINE, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE . SO THE DATA THAT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS EVENING IS THE WINTER OR TO LIVE YEAR DATA. IT INCLUDES THE K2 I STATION

088READING, START EARLY LITERACY, AND GRADES TWO THROUGH 12 S.T.A.R. READING AND THEN IN MATH, ARE K2 ISTATION MATH AND IN K-12 WE USE IREADY FOR MATHEMATICS . ISTATION IS MANDATED BY THE PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IN K2. THAT IS WHY THERE IS THAT OVERLAP IN BOTH LITERACY AND MATHEMATICS. WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT THESE CHARTS AND THE PRESENTATION , A COUPLE OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE CHARTS INCLUDE LEARNERS THAT WERE ASSESSED IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH, SO THE DATA IS COMBINED. IT IS NOT BROKEN DOWN LINGUISTICALLY. THE STUDENTS GROUP DATA WE ARE LOOKING AT , ARE WE CLOSING THOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS , AND OF COURSE WE HAVE OUR MARCH STUDENT GROUPS THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE PRESENTATION , SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO MONITOR THEIR PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WE GO BACK TO

089THE THREE QUESTIONS THAT MR. RUIZ POSED TO US, TO TEACHERS, TO EVERYONE ACROSS THE SYSTEM , AND THOSE QUESTIONS OF COURSE ARE HOW DOES MY WORK IMPACT STUDENT OUTCOMES EVERY DAY WITH WHAT ACTION STEPS CAN I TAKE TO POSITIVELY IMPACT STUDENT OUTCOMES, AND THEN WHAT MEASURES CAN I PUT IN PLACE TO HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE , AND OTHERS ON MY TEAM OR OTHERS AROUND ME ACCOUNTABLE, AND THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ASK AS WE ARE REVIEWING THIS DATA AND THINKING, YOU KNOW , OF OUR ROLE. AGAIN , THIS DATA IS KIND OF THE BIG PICTURE OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. SO LET'S GET INTO THE FIRST SLIDE HERE , ISTATION READING, WHICH AGAIN IS MANDATED FOR GRADES K TO , AND YOU SEE THE BLUE BARS ARE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR

090DATA. THE ORANGE BARS ARE THE WINTER OR MIDDLE OF YEAR DATA . ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NOTED AND WE WILL SEE , YOU WILL SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE IN A MINUTE WHEN WE LOOK AT THE NEXT SLIDE IS THIS DATA, WE ARE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, RIGHT? SO WE HAVE REALLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHY IS THAT , AND YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE A NUMBER OF FACTORS , SO JEN KUHN IS HERE WHO HAS OVERSEEN THE ASSESSMENT ACCOUNTABILITY RESEARCH AND STUDENT IMPROVEMENT GROUP WHO WORKED ON THIS DATA , AND THEY HAVE BEEN , JEN EVEN CALLED ISTATION THIS MORNING DRIVING TO WORK AND ASKED DID THEY CHANGE THEIR NORMS, DID SOMETHING CHANGE. AND IT IS NOT THAT WE, WE WANT TO CHANGE THE DATA. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

091THE DATA IS A TRUE REFLECTION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CLASSROOM. SO ONE OF THE THINGS IT MAY BE THAT WE TESTED DIFFERENT , A DIFFERENT STUDENT POPULATION BECAUSE THE STUDENTS THAT WERE HERE WITH US AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, WE HAVE ADDED MORE STUDENTS TO THAT POPULATION. SO WE ARE GOING TO DO SOME MANUAL COMPARISONS OF THE STUDENT POPULATIONS TO SEE IF THOSE STUDENTS THAT TESTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE AT THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR , SO WE HAVE A TRUE APPLES TO'S COMPARISON , AND I THINK JEN CALLED IT AN APPLE TO FRUIT SALAD COMPARISON, IF IT IS A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT STUDENTS THAT WE ASSESSED. IF THE DATA IS THE SAME AFTER WE DO THAT, THEN OUR NEXT QUESTION IS WHAT IS HAPPENING

092INSTRUCTIONALLY WHERE STUDENTS DID NOT MAKE GAMES, SO YOU KNOW WE WILL NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED DURING THIS FALL SEMESTER THAT LED TO THAT DATA . SO I JUST WANT YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PIECE OF A BIGGER PUZZLE THAT WE ARE STILL EXAMINING. HOWEVER , WHEN YOU LOOK AT, AND THIS IS THE REALLY PUZZLING PIECE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR S.T.A.R. EARLY LITERACY AND AGAIN THE PRIMARY TAKERS OF THIS ASSESSMENT ARE IN K2 MAC AND THEN THERE ARE SOME THIRD-GRADERS AND EVEN SOME STUDENTS AND OTHER , AND OTHER GRADES THAT ARE STILL AT THE FOUNDATIONAL LEVEL IN READING TO TAKE THIS ASSESSMENT, BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE DATA, DIFFERENT STORY . WHAT WE WANT TO SEE ARE THE ORANGE BARS ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE GRAPH GETTING BIGGER ,

093AND THE ORANGE BARS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE GRAPH GETTING SMALLER. SO WE WANT TO SEE FEWER STUDENTS IN URGENT INTERVENTION AND MORE STUDENTS IN THE PROFICIENT CATEGORY, AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE ARE SEEING, SO WE ARE TRENDING THE RIGHT WAY. THE ASSESSMENTS ARE SLIGHTLY , ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN HOW THEY APPROACH , AND HOW THEY APPROACH THIS. ISTATION IS MORE OF A NORMED ASSESSMENT WHEREAS S.T.A.R. IS MORE BASED ON SKILLS AND STANDARDS. SO, LET'S MOVE ON TO LOOKING AT THE S.T.A.R. EARLY LITERACY REPORT IN TERMS OF OUR STUDENT GROUPS. SO OUR STUDENT GROUPS YOU SEE THE TWO HIGHLIGHTED OUR STUDENTS HAD RECEIVED SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES AND STUDENTS THAT ARE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED. AGAIN , VERY POSITIVE INFORMATION. WE SEE GROWTH ACROSS THE BOARD IN PROFICIENCY FOR THESE STUDENT POPULATIONS , AND AGAIN WE

094ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS , THOSE OUTCOME GAPS , THAT WE SEE AMONG OUR STUDENT GROUPS , BUT WE ARE SEEING OUR EMERGENT BILINGUAL POPULATIONS, OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES THAT ARE ECONOMICALLY ADVANTAGED, IN PARTICULAR THOSE MARTINEZ JASSY GROUPS MAKING THOSE POSITIVE GAINS. AND I WILL JUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN CASE YOU ARE THINKING IT , SO THERE IS A CATEGORY THERE THAT IS CALLED REGULAR AD, AND THAT IS I THINK WHAT THE PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT DEFINES THAT GROUP AS , BUT THOSE ARE JUST STUDENTS THAT DON'T , EXCUSE ME , FALL INTO ANY OF THOSE OTHER CATEGORIES. SO THEY ARE NOT, STUDENTS ARE NOT DOUBLE COUNTED IN THIS REPORT. IF YOU ARE ON A 504, YOU ARE NOT COUNTED IN 504 AND REGULAR AD. THOSE ARE JUST STUDENTS THAT DON'T BELONG TO ANOTHER

095CATEGORY AS REPORTED HERE . THE S.T.A.R. EARLY LITERACY GRADES THREE ETHNICITY PROFICIENCY RATE , SO SAME ASSESSMENT, BREAKING IT DOWN DIFFERENTLY. AGAIN, TRENDING POSITIVELY ACROSS STUDENT GROUPS FROM AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS, ASIAN, CAUCASIAN, HISPANIC, NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENTS A SLIGHT GAIN . PACIFIC ISLANDER , IF YOU THINK BACK TO THE B.O.Y. DATA PRESENTED EARLIER IN THE YEAR , SIGNIFICANT GAINS , AND THEN STUDENTS THAT ARE , THAT REPORT TWO OR MORE ETHNICITIES SHOWED A SLIGHT GAIN AS WELL. HENCE JUST NUMBER WISE, SO PACIFIC ISLANDERS, THAT IS 166 STUDENTS IN THAT POPULATION. NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENTS, JUST UNDER 500. AND THE SAME FOR ASIAN, A LITTLE OVER 1300 AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS. S.T.A.R. READING , SO THIS IS THE AGGREGATE OF GRADES K-12. HOW ARE WE DOING OVERALL IN READING. SO OUR PROFICIENCY RATE IS TRENDING UPWARD. OUR URGENT INTERVENTION

096GROUPS HAVE , YOU KNOW, HAVE DIPPED A LITTLE BIT. THAT IS GOOD. THAT IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE, BUT THE QUESTION, AND THIS GOES BACK TO THE THREE QUESTIONS AT THE BEGINNING , AND WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS AT THE END , IS WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THIS DATA, BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THIS DATA . WE CAN LOOK AT IT. IT'S GREAT. WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE, BUT THE IMPORTANT QUESTION THAT WE GET FROM THESE DATA AND THIS WORK IS WHERE IS, WHERE DOES THIS LEAD US , WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEPS, AND SO WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT HERE IN A SECOND. AGAIN , BREAKING DOWN BY STUDENT GROUPS , AGAIN POSITIVE GAINS ACROSS STUDENT GROUPS , OUR EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENTS, STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS, ALL TRENDING UPWARDS

097, ARE GIFTED STUDENTS ARE HOLDING THEIR OWN. THEY ARE ON THE FAR RIGHT OF THE GRAPH THAT YOU SEE. WE ARE MAKING GAINS. AND NOW , AGAIN , SAME ASSESSMENT BY ETHNICITY . POSITIVE GAIN , SLIGHT GAIN FOR NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENTS . PACIFIC ISLANDERS , HISPANIC , EVERYONE IS TRENDING , IS TRENDING UPWARD HERE. SO SOME KEY TAKEAWAYS, JUST , WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DATA , AND AGAIN, THESE ARE , YOU KNOW , THESE DATA THAT YOU ARE SEEING HERE IS OVERALL DATA, K-12, BIG , BIG GROUPS, BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THEM ON A MORE GRANULAR LEVEL, WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS THAT OUR LARGEST GAINS IN READING PROFICIENCY ARE IN OUR EARLY GRADES. I THINK THAT IS A DIRECT TESTAMENT TO THE WORK THAT WE ARE DOING WITH STRUCTURED LITERACY , THAT

098WE ARE DOING WITH DYSLEXIA SCREENING , AND INTERVENTION , BECAUSE THE LOSSES THAT WE HAVE TO SCREEN ALL FIRST-GRADERS FOR DYSLEXIA, BUT AGAIN IT'S THEN WHAT DO WE DO ONCE WE HAVE THIS INFORMATION, IF WE KNOW STUDENTS HAVE CHARACTERISTICS OF DYSLEXIA , HOW ARE WE INTERVENING TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE GETTING THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED. THE STUDENT GROUPS OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, MIGRANT, AND NATIVE AMERICAN SHOWED THE LEAST GROWTH IN S.T.A.R. EARLY LITERACY , SO THEY SHOWED GROWTH , BUT THE LEAST GROWTH OF THE STUDENT POPULATION, SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO EXAMINE , OUR INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES, YOU KNOW , ARE WE ATTENDING TO THE NEEDS OF THOSE STUDENTS. AND THEN AGAIN OVERALL, THE DATA SHOWS A DECREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS THAT REQUIRE INTERVENTION AND MORE STUDENTS THAT ARE PROFICIENT. SO

099, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO REITERATE HERE IS THAT AS MR. RUIZ MENTIONED , OUR DATA DIVE DOCUMENT WENT OUT TO TEACHERS TODAY , AND WHAT WE ARE DOING , LIKE WE DID WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK, WITH THE PLC GUIDANCE , WE ARE PROVIDING THAT TO EDUCATORS FOR THEIR FEEDBACK, FOR REVIEW. WE ARE DOING IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THIS TIME. WE ARE GIVING IT TO THEM WELL IN ADVANCE. WE WON'T GO OUT TO SCHOOLS AGAIN UNTIL AFTER SPRING BREAK, SO WE ARE GIVING THEM A GOOD PERIOD OF TIME TO REVIEW THE DOCUMENT . AND AGAIN, THESE DOCUMENTS ARE NOT GUIDANCE MANUALS OR HOW TO . THEY ARE TOOLS THAT TEACHERS CAN USE WHEN WE ARE ASKING THESE QUESTIONS, WOW, YOU KNOW, MY STUDENTS IN THIS PARTICULAR GROUP, YOU KNOW , NEED HELP.

100I NEED SOME IDEAS. I REALLY WANT TO DIG INTO HOW THEY ARE PERFORMING . THE DATA DOCUMENT, THE DATA DIVE DOCUMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT AND THE PLC GUIDANCE , THEY ALL PROVIDE TOOLS FOR TEACHERS TO DIVE INTO THAT , TO LOOK AT, TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT RESOURCES , DIFFERENT , DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATA , AND I WANTED TO REITERATE THAT ASSESSMENT SCORES , THESE ARE , THIS DATA IS OLD BY NOW , BECAUSE THIS WAS, YOU KNOW , A WHILE BACK IN DECEMBER-JANUARY . IT IS STILL FEBRUARY, BUT TEACHERS HAVE REALLY MOVED ON . THEY'VE EXAMINED THIS DATA, AND THEY ARE USING DIFFERENT DATA FOR DAY TO DAY INSTRUCTION . THEY ARE LOOKING AT STUDENT WORK. THEY ARE LOOKING AT FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS , ASSESSMENTS IN THE CLASSROOM, PROGRESS MONITORING. ALL OF

101THESE THINGS ARE A PART OF LAYER ONE INSTRUCTION, SO IT IS NOT , IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THESE GRAPHS, BUT THIS GIVES US KIND OF AN OVERALL METRIC OF WHERE WE ARE COLLECTIVELY . SO , LET'S GO TO MATH . ISTATION MATH, K 2 , AND THIS IS THE MOST PERPLEXING PART OF THE ISTATION PUZZLE. WE DID NOT SEE THE SAME RESULTS IN MATH LIKE WE DID IN READING. WE ARE SHOWING SOME SLIGHT GAINS IN MATHEMATICS IN GRADES K 2 ON ISTATION. IN IREADY MATH , WHICH IS OUR ASSESSMENT FOR K-12 , WE ARE AGAIN SEEING OUR ORANGE LINE ON THE LEFT SIDE GOING UP , AND OUR ORANGE LINE ON THE RIGHT SIDE GOING DOWN, AND THAT IS A GOOD THING . MORE STUDENTS WERE FEWER STUDENTS BELOW GRADE LEVEL , MORE STUDENTS

102MOVING OVER TO THE PROFICIENCY SIDE . ARE THESE NUMBERS GREAT? THEY ARE NOT. WE ARE STILL WORKING, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT IS HEARTENING TO SEE THAT WE ARE TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BECAUSE EVERYONE IS WORKING VERY HARD ON INSTRUCTION. SO , POSITIVE NEWS . GOING TO OUR STUDENT GROUPS , IREADY MATH K-12 . AGAIN , POSITIVE GAINS IN MATHEMATICS IN OUR STUDENT GROUPS . YOU SEE SOME GROUPS THE PROFICIENCY HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED , THE PERCENTAGE HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED. YOU CAN SEE OUR MARTINEZ-YAZDI GROUPS THERE, BILINGUAL , ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, ALL TRENDING UPWARD. BY ETHNICITY, SAME DATA . AGAIN, ALL OF OUR STUDENT POPULATIONS ARE TRENDING UPWARDS , SO GOOD NEWS . SOME KEY MIDDLE OF YEAR TAKEAWAYS FOR MATH, SO OVERALL , STUDENTS IN K 3 MADE THE LARGEST GAINS AND BECOMING PROFICIENT .

103INTERESTINGLY IN GRADE NINE MAC , STUDENTS MADE THE LARGEST GAINS IN PROFICIENCY IN THE SECONDARY POPULATION, SO THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE TAUGHT HIGH SCHOOL OR HAVE KNOWN ANYONE IN HIGH SCHOOL KNOWS THAT THAT NINTH GRADE YEAR IS, IT CAN BE CHALLENGING . IT CAN BE DIFFICULT. AND SO AGAIN I THINK OUR TEACHERS ARE IDENTIFYING THE THINGS THAT ARE RESONATING WITH OUR LEARNERS AND THAT TRANSITIONAL YEAR , SO THAT IS REALLY GOOD NEWS. ALGEBRA AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING IS THE DOMAIN WITH THE LARGEST GROWTH IN PROFICIENCY , AND I HAVE MY PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS THERE IF ANYONE CAN GUESS WHO OR WHICH DOMAIN WAS THE LOWEST , HAD THE LEAST GROWTH. I WILL GIVE YOU MY PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS. GEOMETRY. >> GEOMETRY? THEY ARE YOURS. YOU HAVE JUST WON A BRAND-NEW SET OF PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS.

104GUESS, GEOMETRY IS THE AREA, WAS THE LOWEST DOMAIN IN MATHEMATICS. ME I SAY THAT THAT IS MY DOMAIN WITH THE , AYE, IT IS MY TOUGHEST DOMAIN IN MATH, WAS GEOMETRY. THAT WAS THE ONLY MATH I EVER UNDERSTOOD, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT ME, ABOUT ANYONE ELSE, BUT ME AND MR. NOLAN, APPARENTLY. I WAS TERRIBLE AT MATH BUT GEOMETRY I SORT OF GOT. I GOT IT BECAUSE I COULD COURT OF C8 AND THINK ABOUT IT IN A CONCRETE WAY. SO AS WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THESE DATA, AND IT IS REALLY ABOUT THE NEXT STEPS. WHAT ARE WE DOING , SO THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK ARE REALLY GEARED TOWARD HELPING TEACHERS WITH THAT SCAFFOLDING, WITH THE DIFFERENTIATION , REALLY THINKING ABOUT WHERE ONE INSTRUCTION FOR ALL STUDENTS ,

105AND BY EXAMINING THE DATA , WE KNOW HOW OUR STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING , AND WHERE WE MAY NEED TO GET , TO GIVE MORE ATTENTION IN LAYER ONE INSTRUCTION , BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE WE NEED TO LIVE. THAT IS WHERE WE IMPROVE. WE GET BETTER. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THE DATA DIVE GUIDANCE OUT, SO JAN'S TEAM ALONG WITH THE R&D GROUP AND WE EXTENDED R&D GROUP WHO DID A REALLY NICE JOB IN PUTTING THOSE DATA DIVE DOCUMENTS TOGETHER , AND I THINK THE TEACHERS WILL FIND THEM VERY HELPFUL AS THEY LOOK AT THESE DATA AND ALL OF THE DATA THAT THEY COLLECT THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL DAY . WITH THAT, I WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU DR. WENDI. BOARD MEMBERS, ANY QUESTIONS ? JUST A COMMENT. I DIDN'T GIVE ANYBODY A CHANCE TO

106GUESS . I WILL SHARE THE PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS. I JUST GRABBED THE MICROPHONE AND GUEST FIRST. I WASN'T GOING TO GUESS GEOMETRY. KNOW? NO. >> THERE ARE SIX THERE, SO IF YOU ARE HUNGRY YOU CAN SHARE. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SHARE THAT , IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY ABOUT THE DATA DIVE , YOU ARE ASKING TEACHERS FOR THEIR INPUT AND REFLECTION ON WHAT'S GOING ON? SO THE DATA DIVE DOCUMENT MUCH LIKE THE INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT AND THE PLC GUIDANCE DOCUMENT, THESE ARE TOOLS FOR TEACHERS OF THE DATA DIVE GUIDANCE , IT'S ANOTHER DOCUMENT , A TOOL THAT TEACHERS CAN USE INDEPENDENTLY IN THEIR PLC TO EXAMINE DATA. SELF REFLECTION , RIGHT? IT COULD BE SELF REFLECTION. IT COULD BE COLLECTIVE REFLECTION IN THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY. AND SO THEY, THAT WAS SENT TO PRINCIPLES TODAY

107TO SHARE WITH STAFF, GIVE THEM SOME TIME TO LOOK AT IT, ASK QUESTIONS, PROVIDE FEEDBACK , AND THEN IN MARCH LIKE WE DID WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK AND PLC GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS IN JANUARY DURING THAT WEEK WE WENT TO EVERY PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY, EVERY SCHOOL, EVERY TEACHER , AND SHARED THOSE DOCUMENTS WITH THEM , SO EVERY TEACHER RECEIVED THE SAME PRESENTATION THAT WEEK . WITH THE DATA DIVE DOCUMENT , THAT IS A LOT OF D'S, WE WILL DO THE SAME, THE SAME KIND OF THING , GO OUT TO SCHOOLS. WE ARE GOING TO FLIP IT A LITTLE BIT SO TEACHERS CAN BRING THE DATA THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND TRY OUT THE TOOL WITH THEIR DATA THAT THEY ARE USING. I FEEL LIKE I AM CURIOUS ABOUT THEIR OBSERVATION OF , LIKE, WHAT ASSESSMENTS,

108WHAT THEY OBSERVE , WHICH ONE IS MOST ALIGNED WITH THE TEACHING THAT THEY ARE USING, WITH THE KIDS ARE RESPONDING TO , AND HOW THEY TEACH THESE KIDS, WHAT ASSESSMENTS ARE MOST ALIGNED WITH THAT. I QUESTION WITH THIS ISTATION AND S.T.A.R., IF YOU HAVE DIFFERENT SCORING , THEN THEY ARE TESTING DIFFERENT, RIGHT? NOT THE KIDS TESTING DIFFERENT. THE TEST ITSELF IS DIFFERENT. IT IS PRESENTED DIFFERENTLY. I MEAN , I ALSO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF IT IS K THROUGH 2. THIS IS KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SECOND GRADE, SO I'M NOT GOING TO PUT TOO MUCH WEIGHT ON THIS, BUT I GUESS I WANT TO PUT MORE OF THE VALUE ON WHAT TEACHERS OBSERVE IN THE CLASSROOM AND KIND OF LIKE WHERE THEY ARE STRUGGLING, AND THEN HELPING SUPPORT THEIR STUDENTS, OR WHERE THEY SEE THE KIDS REALLY JUST TAKING

109OFF. AND THAT, THAT'S WHY , PARTLY WHY THIS, THESE DATA ARE JUST ONE DATA POINT. YOU KNOW , IT IS THREE TIMES PER YEAR. AND THERE ARE DATA THAT TEACHERS COLLECT EVERY DAY IN CLASS , FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT , SOME OF IT QUANTITATIVE SOME OF IT QUALITATIVE , LISTENING TO STUDENTS, CLASS DISCUSSIONS, EXIT TICKETS , THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS THAT STUDENTS, THAT TEACHERS GET FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS , AND I THINK THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF THE DATA, THE DATA DOCUMENT , AND LOOKING AT DATA IS THAT IT IS NOT, IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT SCORE, AND I THINK THAT TEACHERS DO, DO UNDERSTAND AND REALIZE HOW STUDENTS PERFORM ON ASSESSMENTS, AND THAT, YOU KNOW , SO IT IS ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. IT IS ONE PIECE OF THE DATA , BUT

110THEY CERTAINLY WANT TO ADD ALL OF THOSE OTHER PIECES AS WELL TO MAKE SURE. I KEEP THINKING THAT SNAPSHOT COULD BE ON ISTATION AND REALLY GIVING OUT BORING THINGS TO READ THAT THE KIDS JUST CHECKED OUT. THE LAST THING IS ON THE S.T.A.R. READING WHERE I FELT LIKE ALL OF THE DATA WAS COLLECTED FOR GRADES 2 TO 12 , AND I DON'T, I AM NOT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE LOOKING AT IT AS A COLLECTIVE INSTEAD OF, LIKE, IN GROUP, IN LEVELS . THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION, PRESIDENT TENORIO . FOR THIS PRESENTATION , WE LEFT THE DATA AGGREGATED LIKE THAT , BUT IF WE ARE SITTING DOWN TO LOOK AT STUDENT DATA , WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK AT THIS . WE TOYED AROUND WITH BREAKING IT DOWN , AND WE THOUGHT

111FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PRESENTATION THAT WE WOULD LEAVE IT , WE WOULD LEAVE IT KIND OF THE BIG PICTURE . WE CAN CERTAINLY BREAK IT DOWN BY LEVEL , BY CLASS OF ANY BOARD MEMBERS WANT FURTHER INFORMATION , WE ARE HAPPY TO, YOU KNOW , SHARE ANY ADDITIONAL DATA WITH YOU . ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OUR TEAM IS WORKING ON IS A PUBLIC FACING , IS A PUBLIC FACING DASHBOARD IF YOU WILL WEAR THIS, YOU KNOW, THESE DATA WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO IN AND LOOK, LIKE, HOW ARE WE DOING, HOW IS MY CHILD'S SCHOOL DOING, JUST FOR INFORMATION FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES, SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS COMING IN THE FUTURE. SO DO YOU THINK THERE IS A TREND, LIKE, WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO US, IS THERE A TREND AT THAT LARGE POINT

112OF VIEW, IF YOU WERE TO BREAK IT DOWN , DOESN'T LOOK DIFFERENTLY OR DOES IT LOOK SIMILAR? I THINK IT LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR. IT REALLY DEPENDS ON HOW FAR YOU BREAK IT DOWN, AND HOW, BECAUSE , IF YOU, IF YOU BROKE IT DOWN BY LEVEL, BY ELEMENTARY, ALL RIGHT , THAT WOULD LOOK ONE WAY PICK IF YOU BROKE IT DOWN BY SCHOOL THAT WOULD LOOK A DIFFERENT WAY. IF YOU BROKE IT DOWN BY CLASSROOMS IN THE SCHOOL, BY GRADE LEVEL , THAT WOULD LOOK A DIFFERENT WAY, BUT IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DATA BY LEVEL , IT IS POSITIVE. I THINK HE WOULD CONTINUE TO SEE THOSE POSITIVE TRENDS . IF WE WENT SCHOOL BY SCHOOL, I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, TRENDS WOULD STILL BE POSITIVE . WHEN YOU ARE GOING CLASSROOM BY CLASSROOM

113IT MAY START TO LOOK DIFFERENT, AND OBVIOUSLY DOWN TO THE STUDENT BY STUDENT LEVEL, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO SEE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT DATA , BUT AGGREGATED LIKE THAT, AND AGAIN WE ARE HAPPY TO PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANTED TO LOOK AT A PARTICULAR LEVEL , OR SCHOOL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW , THAT'S AVAILABLE. THANK YOU DR. WENDI . MR. RUIZ. THANK YOU MEMBERS AND PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD. INTO TAG ONTO WHAT DR. WENDI WAS EXPLAINING, THE OTHER PIECES AS WE LOOKED AT , GIVING YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THIS, WE ARE LOOKING AT THE OVERVIEW. THE TAKEAWAYS KINDS OF GIVE YOU DIFFERENTIATION IN TRANSIT WE ARE SEEING, BUT NOTE THAT AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL AND LEADERSHIP LEVEL , WE ARE LOOKING AT THE BY LEVEL, BY CLASSROOM, BY STUDENT. THAT IS

114THE IMPORTANT WORK HAPPENING. THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A SNAPSHOT. WE DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO A 50 SLIDE PRESENTATION IF YOU WILL , BUT DEFINITELY WOULD LOVE TO SIT WITH YOU OR ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS. WE CAN ALSO EVEN LOOK AT IT A LITTLE DEEPER DURING OUR ONE ON ONE AS WELL. THANK YOU. MR. FRANK. >> I AM ALMOST SPEECHLESS HERE. I MEAN, IF THE TEST IS REALLY, IF THEY ARE GOOD TESTS, THEN WE HAVE TO REALLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE PROFICIENCY RATES, SO , I MEAN , IF IT IS A GOOD TEST , THEN IS OUR CURRICULUM ALIGNED WITH THIS TEST? I MEAN , AND, AND, YOU KNOW, BUT I MEAN, YEAH , I WOULD WANT TO KNOW IF, IF I AM THE TEACHER GETTING THESE RESULTS, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO

115KNOW THE AREAS WHERE MY STUDENTS ARE NOT PROFICIENT SO THAT I COULD ADDRESS THEM DIRECTLY. MADAM PRESIDENT, MR. FRANK, AGAIN , SO THIS IS THE BIG HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW. AT THE TEACHER LEVEL, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DRILL DOWN INTO THE STANDARDS , INTO AMINO , GO STUDENT BY STUDENT, CLASS BY CLASS. THEY CAN CREATE GROUPS BASED ON, AGAIN , THE DEMESNES . SO STUDENTS THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH GEOMETRY, WITH THAT DOMAIN, YOU KNOW , DO WE NEED TO RETEACH I NEED SOME KIND OF INTERVENTION AS A CLASS. SO THERE ARE MANY TOOLS WITHIN THESE PLATFORMS WHERE TEACHERS CAN , AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE CALLED DIAGNOSTICS, BECAUSE THEY CAN REALLY DIAGNOSE WHERE STUDENTS NEED THE MOST ASSISTANCE. IF I MAY AS WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING TO THAT. PRESIDENT TENORIO AND MEMBERS

116OF THE BOARD, WELL, MEMBER FRANK. THE OTHER PIECE, AND I DID MENTION THIS IN MY OCTOBER PRESENTATION , IS WE ARE CURRENTLY, THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM ON THE TLC SIDE AS WELL AS OTHER DEPARTMENTS, WE ARE LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR INTERIM ASSESSMENTS AND WE REALLY FEEL THAT WE HAVE, THAT WE NEED TO REALLY TIGHTEN THAT UP TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONSISTENT, COHERENT , IN MY OPINION AND HIM I AM FOR THE RATION. I THINK WE HAVE TOO MANY INTERIM ASSESSMENTS. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE ONES THAT ARE, BACK TO YOUR POINT MEMBER FRANK , THAT ARE LINKED TO THE STATE STANDARDS AND WILL GIVE THE TEACHER SEPARATE INFORMATION. NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO THE RESOURCES, AS WE ARE THEN LOOKING AT WHAT IS OUR FOLLOW-UP ON INSTRUCTION, AND THOSE RESOURCES

117WITHIN. WE ARE DEFINITELY ANALYZING THAT AS WE SPEAK , THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO COME UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION AS WE MOVE TO 24-25. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. DR. WENDI , LET US DISCUSS THE POLICY CALENDAR SCHEDULE. LET'S DO THAT MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND MR. RUIZ. SO, YOUR POLICY CALENDAR THAT WAS LAST REVISED IN NOVEMBER , ON NOVEMBER 10 AT YOUR RETREAT, SO WE DID SOME WORK ON THE POLICY CALENDAR, AND THE GOOD NEWS IS EVERYTHING ON THIS PAGE IS IN THE BOOKS , SO WE CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT ALL OF THOSE POLICIES THAT WERE REVISED DURING THE FALL SEMESTER. SO, IF WE LOOK , CAN WE GO TO THE NEXT PAGE , AND THOSE, THAT IS ALL DONE AS WELL , SO THE NEXT PAGE. WE CAN FEEL REALLY

118GOOD. WE DID A LOT OF PAGES. SO, LET'S PICK BACK UP IN MARCH, WHICH IS THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. SO , WE HAVE THE BULLYING, CYBER BULLYING, HAZING, AND HARASSMENT POLICY UP FOR FIRST READING. SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH POLICY UP FOR FIRST READING , AND THEN A NEW POLICY THAT WASN'T PREVIOUSLY ON THE DOCKET , BUT WE NEED TO ADD , JCA EIGHT, WHICH IS THE REDISTRICTING POLICY, BECAUSE THE BOARD CURRENTLY DOESN'T HAVE A RE-DISTRICT DING POLICY. DR. HAWKINS AND HIS TEAM WILL BRING THAT POLICY FOR 1st READING ON MARCH 19th. THE ONES, THE POLICIES THAT WE SEE HERE THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED, REMEMBER THAT EACH BOARD MEMBER IS WORKING TO AUTHOR OR CO-AUTHOR THESE POLICIES , THE ONES, SO JCAA IS NEW , SO THERE WAS NOT A BOARD MEMBER THAT ADOPTED THIS POLICY, SO WE WILL

119TAKE VOLUNTEERS IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THEIR TEAM ON THAT POLICY. BOARD MEMBERS, ANY VOLUNTEERS? I DON'T MIND VOLUNTEERING FOR THAT. EXCELLENT . >> EXCELLENT, THANK YOU, MEMBER NOLAN. [ INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] I HAVE TO VOLUNTEER FOR SOMETHING, DON'T I . I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT TO YOU, MR. FRANK. WITH THAT ATTITUDE I DON'T THINK SO. YEAH, WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO PUT ME? LET'S LOOK, LET'S CONTINUE SCROLLING IF WE MAY. SO , IN MAY, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OPEN SPOTS. KB, THE PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT POLICY , PRESIDENT TENORIO IS WORKING ON THAT ONE , AND ALSO , KH B , THE ADVERTISING AND MARKETING POLICY ALSO HAS A SLOT , SO I WILL LET YOU ALL DECIDE. THAT SOUNDS LIKE , THIS WORK, I DON'T REMEMBER THIS. WOOZY FROM

120-- YOU CAN PUT ME TO WORK WHEREVER YOU WANT TO PUT ME AND LET ME KNOW. THAT WAY I HAVE ADVANCED NOTICE. I WOULD SAY REDISTRICTING IS A REALLY AMAZING POLICY TO WORK ON. SUPER AMAZING. I THINK HE WOULD BE GREAT ON IT. OKAY. I WILL JOIN AND WE WILL WORK ON REDISTRICTING . THANK YOU KINDLY , MR. FRANK, FOR VOLUNTEERING. SO WE HAVE YOU DOWN FOR JCAA , KB , AND ALSO KHB . WHERE IS THAT ONE? OH, I SEE IT. I ACTUALLY LIKE DOING THESE. THEY ARE FUN TO DO. JUST HOW THE PROCESS WORKS , WHEN IT GETS CLOSER TO THE TIME OF FIRST READING, WHICHEVER DIVISION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT POLICY WILL REACH OUT TO THE BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE HELPING TO AUTHOR THE POLICY AND JUST SET UP SOME TIME, SOME

121WORK TIME WITH YOU . DID YOU JUST VOLUNTEER FOR 3? I'M ON TWO. WHO IS KB, PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT? I HAVE MR. FRANK. I'M ON THAT. IT'S GOOD. YOU HAVE THREE. THAT'S OKAY? IT'S GOOD. ADVERTISING. ADVERTISING. I WOULD LIKE WOFFORD IF HE IS STILL THERE. HE IS ALREADY WORKING ON ECF , BUT WE WILL LEAVE THAT UP TO HIM. HE CAN DO TWO., ON, BOB. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO --[ INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] ON KHB , MR. WOFFORD ? YES. MAY 21 IS THE FIRST READING. YES, SIR. >> OKAY. >> YOU AND I ARE ALSO DOING THE ENERGY AND WATER CONSERVATION, ECF. YES. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. BOARD MEMBERS BACK I HAVE NO QUESTIONS, JUST A COMMENT.

122THANK YOU FOR BRINGING FORWARD ON THIS INFORMATION WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT. MR. WOFFORD ? DO WE HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR KAF KOMAKI EC , OR ARE WE -- I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ON HERE YET. SO IF I CAN ADDRESS THAT BRIEFLY. SO, AS YOU HEARD EARLIER DURING THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT , WE HAVE MET THE DEADLINE OF REVISING THE REGULATIONS, KEC-R AND KEF-R , SO I BELIEVE THAT WE , ONCE THOSE ARE PUBLISHED , SHOULD WE GET ANY FURTHER COMPLAINTS IN THOSE AREAS, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW THOSE REGULATIONS WORK . ARE THEY ADEQUATE OR DO WE NEED TO, DOES THE BOARD NEED TO CHANGE POLICY? SO I BELIEVE THAT THOSE CALENDAR , THAT THOSE POLICIES WOULD THEN , WE WOULD START THE NEXT POLICY REVISION CYCLE WITH THOSE TWO POLICIES KEC-R AND KEF-R

123IF THE BOARD STILL WISHES TO REVISE THOSE POLICIES. I AM ON THAT, MI ON THAT, THAT IS THE ONE I'M ON WITH -- BUT THEY ARE CURRENTLY OFF THE SCHEDULE , BECAUSE WE, WE WROTE THE REGULATION, AND THEN WE WILL IMPLEMENT THE REGULATIONS , AND THEN IF THE BOARD DECIDES THAT YOU ALSO WOULD LIKE TO DO SOME WORK ON THE POLICIES, THEN WE WILL ADD THOSE POLICIES BACK TO THE CALENDAR THAT WILL START IN JULY. WE WILL SEE. THANK YOU, DR. WENDI . THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE MR. JOSH SILVER, THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY PROJECT UPDATE. THANK YOU FOR HANGING WITH US. YES, MA'AM. I THINK I GAVE YOU ALL WRONG TITLE NAMES. THAT'S BEEN MY OBSERVATION THE LAST COUPLE OF SESSIONS. GOOD EVENING. IT IS NICE TO SEE YOU AND MEMBERS OF THE

124SCHOOL BOARD. THIS IS A, I DON'T KNOW, WE DO THIS EVERY 6 TO 7 MONTHS. THIS IS AN UPDATE FOR YOU ON THE BIG PICTURE OF SORT OF THE SECURITY POSTURE FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS WELL AS THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING --WORKING ON. AND I WILL TURN THIS OVER TO MR. DAWKINS TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE FUN TECH THINGS THAT 9:30 AT NIGHT. TOO BAD OUR AUDIENCES IN HERE. I WILL TURN THIS OVER TO OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR . IT'S ONLY 8:57. >> MR. DAWKINS CAN TALK ABOUT NETWORK SECURITY FOR YOU AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MR. RUIZ. IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK. IT'S BEEN MARCH SINCE THE LAST TIME WE GAVE YOU AN UPDATE. WE WILL DIVE INTO THE FUN PART, NETWORK SECURITY. I THINK LAST

125TIME I UPDATED YOU , WE COMPLETED VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT CENTER PENETRATION TESTING AND OUR RISK ASSESSMENT. NOW WE ARE ON A REGULAR CYCLE FOR VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS, SO WE ARE DOING EXTERNAL VULNERABILITY EVERY MONTH AND WHERE WHAT IT IS AS WE HAVE AN OUTSIDE AGENCY SCANNER NETWORK AND LOOK FOR THINGS THAT ARE VULNERABLE TO KNOWN EXPLOITS OR KNOWN THREATS . THEY TELL US ABOUT THEM AND THEN WE FIX THEM. SO WE DO THAT EVERY MONTH. THAT OUR PENETRATION TEST IS A SIMULATED ATTACK THROUGH A THIRD-PARTY , AND WE HAVE THAT SCHEDULED COMING UP IN MARCH , AS WELL AS OUR CYBER SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE AUDIT THAT FINANCE GETS . THEY GO THROUGH A LOOK AT OUR PROCEDURES AND POLICIES, OR PRACTICES , AND WE PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF WE ARE DOING

126THIS , THIS IS WHAT WE CHECKED, THIS IS HOW WE MAINTAIN THESE THINGS, AND THEY GIVE US FEEDBACK ON THINGS WE CAN DO BETTER, AND IT IS SCORED SO WE CAN TRACK THAT YEAR-OVER-YEAR. THAT IS ALSO HAPPENING IN MARCH. IN THE LAST 30 DAYS THESE NUMBERS ARE SCARY. THEY LOOK SCARY AND ARE NOT SCARY, BUT IN THE LAST 30 DAYS WE HAVE HAD 103 MILLION SPYWARE DETECTIONS, 3.5 MILLION VULNERABILITY EXPLOIT ATTEMPTS, AND THREE MALWARE DETECTIONS. TO BREAK THAT DOWN , THE FIRST TWO NUMBERS ARE NORMAL . THAT IS WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THERE. THESE ARE ESSENTIALLY OUTSIDE ATTACKS ON OUR NETWORK THAT ARE DETECTED AND BLOCKED AND DEALT WITH EVERY DAY . OUR SYSTEMS PROCESS BILLIONS OF EVENTS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS JUST KIND OF A QUICK BREAKDOWN

127OF SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY HER NETWORK , AND THE VULNERABILITY EXPLOIT ATTEMPTS ARE KIND OF GOING BACK TO WHAT THE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT DOES AND SAYS, YOU KNOW, HERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS BEING EXPLOITED IN THE WILD, AND FIX IT. THOSE ATTEMPTS WE ARE SEEING ARE THOSE EXPLOITS THAT ARE BEING USED IN THE WILD POINTED TOWARDS US. BUT AGAIN , THAT IS WHAT OUR FIREWALL DOES. THAT IS WHAT IT'S FOR AND IT KEEPS IT PRETTY SAFE. THE GOOD NEWS IS WITH THOSE BIG NUMBERS, WE ONLY HAD THREE MALWARE INFECTIONS ON END-USER DEVICES, AND ALL OF THEM ACTUALLY CAME THROUGH A USER VECTOR , SO THEY DOWNLOADED SOMETHING OR THEY OPENED AN ATTACHMENT OR SOMETHING, AND OUR TEAM DETECTED IT AND TOOK CARE OF IT VERY QUICKLY. ON THE EMAIL

128AND PHISHING FRONT , WE AS OF THIS WEEK , WE HAVE 4000 HAVE ANY NINES HALF AND 26,991 STUDENTS ACCESS TO OUR SYSTEM. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS NOT REFLECTIVE OF CURRENT ENROLLMENT OR STAFFING. SO THINGS LIKE STAFF EMAILS AND STUDENTS , THOSE ACCOUNTS STAY ACTIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SO THEY CAN TRANSITION ONTO THEIR NEXT OPPORTUNITY OR GET THEM THROUGH CAMINO , PREPARING FOR COLLEGE OR THINGS LIKE THAT IF THEY GRADUATE, SO WE HAVE MORE ACCOUNTS THAN WE DO ACTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR ORGANIZATION, AND THEN SORT OF THE ADDITIONAL NUMBERS, THE +341 AND -3320 , THOSE ARE THE CHANGE FROM THE LAST TIME I GAVE THIS REPORT. IN THE LAST MONTH WE HAD 2,024,769 EMAILS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM . 905,000 OF THOSE WERE INTERNAL, STAFF

129TO STAFF OR STAFF TO STUDENT. 202,000 WERE OUTBOUND , SO THAT WAS COMING FROM THE INSIDE TO OUTSIDE , AND 917,000 OF THOSE WERE INBOUND . THAT IS TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE OVERALL VOLUME OF EMAILS IN ONE MONTH . OF THOSE 121,000 WERE DETECTED AS SPAM OR PHISHING , AND OF THOSE 9.53 ARE MALICIOUS EVERY DAY. THIS IS THE LATEST INSTALLMENT OF OUR PHISHING AWARENESS CAMPAIGN. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND ONE IN THE SERIES OF WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK. WE TRY TO DO TWO OF THESE EVERY YEAR. THE PHOTO IS FROM OUR LAST SUMMER STUDENTS TECH PROGRAM . WE WILL BE DOING ANOTHER ONE THIS SUMMER AND HAVE A NEW THEME AND MR. SILVER IS ALWAYS VERY GOOD AT HELPING US OUT WITH THE CREATIVE PART OF THAT , MAKING US DRESS

130UP AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO. NETWORK PROJECTS. SO , WE HAVE A NUMBER OF LARGE PROJECTS IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW. THE MOST NOTABLE ONES ARE THE WIRELESS EXPANSION AND MODERNIZATION WHICH I MENTIONED IN MY LAST REPORT. WE EXPECT IT TO BE COMPLETED BY APRIL. THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EXPANSION PORTION, SO THIS IS ADDING WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS AND SORT OF EXPANDING THE OVERALL CAPACITY OF WIRELESS , IT IS COMPLETE AND THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO THE MODERNIZATION PART WHICH IS TAKING OUT OLD EQUIPMENT AND REPLACING IT WITH NEWER EQUIPMENT. WE EXPECT THAT TO BE DONE BY THE END OF MARCH. AND THEN SECONDARY SCHOOLS WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED ON MUSCLE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOLS. THE WIRING AND MOST OF THAT IS COMPLETED. NOW WE ARE DOING THE ACTUAL INSTALLATION OF THE

131DEVICES IN THE EXPANSION AND MONETIZATION OF THOSE WILL BE HAPPENING AROUND THE SAME TIME. AT THE END OF THIS PROJECT, 50% OF THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS IN THE DISTRICT WILL BE UPDATED OR REPLACED. WE HAVE JUST ABOUT 1000 OF THEM ACROSS ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS. SO, THIS IS A PRETTY BIG LIFT , IT IS GOING TO MAKE A MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT FOR STUDENTS . SURE. IF I CAN JUST ADD TO THAT WIRELESS EXPANSION IN THE WIRELESS MODERNIZATION , THIS IS A MULTI-YEAR REQUEST FROM CAMPUSES. IT REALLY GOES BACK TO MY TEACHING TIME , WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHY ISN'T THE WI-FI WORKING IN THIS PART OF THE BUILDING OR WE HAVE TO MOVE THE KIDS AT TESTING TIME, THIS IS GOING BACK REALLY BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, THOUGHTFUL, THOUGHTFUL PROJECTS, TO MR. DAWKINS POINT , ON BOTH

132OF THE EXPANSION, THE AMOUNT OF COVERAGE , AND THEN THE MODERNIZATION OF THAT COVERAGE AT CAMPUSES. SO I THINK AT A HIGH LEVEL WE CAN SAY THAT SORT OF INTERNET EXPERIENCE ARE WIRELESS AT SCHOOLS IS STRONGER AND A MUCH MORE GRANULAR LEVEL TEACHERS AREN'T HAVING TO MOVE THEIR CLASSES FOR TESTING , SOME OF THOSE VERY CONCRETE THINGS HAVE CHANGED SO I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT. SO , SORT OF, YOU MAY BE WONDERING, HOW DO WE GET THE DATA READIES ACCESS POINTS SHOULD GO PICK A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE HAD FOUR OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS GO AROUND ALL 4 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF OUR SCHOOLS WITH THE DEVICE AND WE JUST WALKED AROUND THE BUILDINGS AND PICKED UP SORT OF A HEAT MAP OF WHERE WIRELESS POWER AND THOSE SIGNALS ARE AND WE SAT DOWN

133AND WENT THROUGH IT AND SAID THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO ADD SOME, THIS IS WHERE MAYBE THIS ONE CAN BE MOVED. IT WAS A VERY THOUGHTFUL LONG PROCESS THAT WE DID TO GET THERE. ONCE EVERYTHING IS DONE WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND VERIFY THE WORK WE DIDN'T GO BACK AND FILL IN GAPS , BECAUSE AGAIN THIS IS A MULTIYEAR PROJECT. THINGS CHANGE AT THE SCHOOLS WHERE PEOPLE MOVE AND THINGS HAPPEN. IT IS AN ONGOING PROCESS FROM HERE ON OUT. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED ALL OF THE BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEMS IN OUR DATA CLOSET. THOSE ARE JUST SORT OF, YOU KNOW , WHERE THE NETWORK STUFF LIVES. WE TRY TO KEEP THEM ON A BATTERY BACKUP SO WHEN THE POWER FLUCTUATES OR GOES OUT AND IT CAN STAY UP A LITTLE BIT LONGER. DOING THIS

134UPGRADE HAS DEFINITELY MADE MY TEAM A LOT HAPPIER BECAUSE WE AREN'T HAVING TO RUN AROUND TURNING THINGS BACK ON ALL THE TIME WHEN THERE IS A WINDSTORM OR THUNDERSTORM, SO IT HAS BROUGHT A LOT OF STABILITY TO THE NETWORK , EVEN JUST FOR SHORT-TERM POWER OUTAGES . AND THEN THIS FALL WE WILL BE DOING A FULL REPLACEMENT OF OUR FIREWALL AGAIN , SO WE LAST REPLACE THAT FIREWALL IN 2019, AND IT IS SORT OF APPROACHING ITS END-OF-LIFE , SO WE ARE GOING TO BRING IT TO THE NEXT GENERATION WITH ALL NEW SOFTWARE AND ALL NEW THINGS TO CONTINUE TO KEEP US SAFE. AND THE LAST THING I WILL GET STARTED, MR. SILVER MAY EXPAND UPON THIS A LITTLE BIT, BUT AS YOU KNOW WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING THESE INTERACTIVE FLAT-PANEL TVs AND OTHER CLASSROOMS IN

135THE DISTRICT. PHASE ONE WAS ACTUALLY EARLY ON WE PUT SORT OF LARGE-SCALE PROJECTORS IN THE GYMS OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS. MATT WAS COMPLETE. PHASE TWO WAS THE MOBILE VERSIONS OF THESE INTERACTIVE BOARDS FOR K THROUGH 2. WE FINISH THAT. THAT WAS LIKE 400 SOMETHING BOARDS. WE HAVE NOW COMPLETED PHASE THREE. PHASE THREE WAS THE ACTUAL INSTALLED MOUNTED BOARDS FOR 3 THROUGH 12. THAT PART IS FINISHED. EVERY CLASSROOM IN THE DISTRICT NOW HAS AN INTERACTIVE FLAT-PANEL. WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK FROM THE SCHOOLS , AND THE TRAINING AND EVERYTHING, MAINTENANCE AND ALL OF THAT WILL BE ONGOING. THE NEXT AND FINAL PHASE WITH THIS ENGAGEMENT IS TO FINISH OUT THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOMS AT THE REST OF THE SCHOOLS. SO WE HAVE ABOUT 29 SCHOOLS TO GO WHERE WE ARE INSTALLING A PROJECTOR MUCH

136LIKE THIS SET UP IN EITHER THE CAFETERIAS OR THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOMS OR GYMNASIUMS, DEPENDING ON WHAT IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THAT SITE, WITH A SOUND SYSTEM THAT THEY CAN HAVE ASSEMBLIES AND PARENT MEETINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO SET UP ALL THIS PORTABLE STUFF. CAN THE INSTALLATIONS FOR THAT ARE GOING TO START NEXT WEEK. AND WITH THAT, I BELIEVE --DID YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? OKAY. WITH THAT, WE HAVE SOME UPCOMING EVENTS AND I WILL LET MR. SILVER HANDLE THAT. THIS IS OUR LAST SLIDE FOR THE EVENING, AND THANK YOU MR. DAWKINS. I THINK WE HAVE REALLY DONE THE GOAL FOR US INTO TECHNOLOGY IS TO DIVIDE THAT WORK AMONG OPERATIONAL OR BUSINESS WORK AND ALSO KEEP A THOUGHTFUL EYE AROUND THE INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY PIECE. TO THAT END THERE ARE TWO EVENTS THAT

137ARE COMING AND I AM EXCITED TO TELL YOU ABOUT, AS I OFTEN TELL YOU ALL. WHILE THEY MAY BE PART OF THE TECHNOLOGY DIVISION , THEY ARE PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER TEAMS AND REALLY THE ENTIRE, THE ENTIRE TEAM. ON THE INSIDE THE GREEN, IMPACT 24 IS OUR EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE. WE DID THAT LAST YEAR AND WE WILL DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR. IT IS, LIKE, PRETTY MUCH TOMORROW . IT IS ON MARCH 14th, WHICH IS THE THURSDAY, THE SECOND THURSDAY OF SPRING BREAK. SO, THE PREMISE OF THAT DAY IS THAT, AND WE HAVE TEACHERS FROM LAS CRUCES, BUT REALLY THE ENTIRE REGION UP TO ALBUQUERQUE AND SANTA FE , EL PASO, SORT OF MAKE THAT BIGGER CIRCLE AROUND OUR REGION, WE WILL HAVE ATTENDEES FROM ALL OF THOSE COMMUNITIES, BUT THAT IS RUN BY OUR TEACHERS.

138THAT IS TAUGHT BY OUR TEACHERS. ALL OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN THAT IMPACT TODAY IS TECHNOLOGY IN OUR SCHOOLS HAVE RIGHT NOW , SO THEY AREN'T DOING ANYTHING WITH TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY COULDN'T DO IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. THAT WILL BE AT OREGON MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL. I WILL HAVE INVITATIONS FOR ALL OF YOU BUT YOU ARE ALL MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME. WE HAVE THE 2021, I KNOW, I AM SO EXCITED, SHE IS THE 2021 NATIONAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR. SHE IS A NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED TEACHER. SHE WORKED AS A BILINGUAL SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER, AND THEN WAS NAMED THE 2021 NATIONAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR AND OF NOTE SHE WAS THE PANDEMIC TEACHER OF THE YEAR. SO REALLY HAS A UNIQUE LENS ON HOW TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED IN EDUCATION. HER NICKNAME IS MS. EARTH, SO THAT IS

139WHY I AM ALL ABOUT THAT, SO I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT WE ARE ABLE TO COMBINE THIS TECHNOLOGY EVENT WITH A VERY EARTH FRIENDLY THEMED EVENT. AND WE WILL HAVE, STUDENTS AND FACULTY FROM OTHER CAMPUSES HELPING US THAT DAY. SO HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU ALL, BUT YOU ALL ARE ENTHUSIASTICALLY INVITED TO THAT. ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT TELL THE STORY, ALSO A CONTINUATION PROJECT FOR US. THE RED CARPET WILL BE THERE FOR US AGAIN . THAT IS THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON MARCH 20th AND 21st. ALLEN THEATERS . IT HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS COMMUNITY PARTNER FOR US , AND WE WILL BE SPONSORING THAT AGAIN. THEY OPENED THEIR DOORS TO US AND REALLY INVITED OUR COMMUNITY IN. LET US TAKE A STEP BACK AND TELL YOU THE FILMS

140THAT WILL BE SHOWN THAT DAY, IF WE GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO WHERE I TELL YOU ABOUT THOSE BROADCAST LABS, THIS IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT WORK, SO THE MOTIVATION THERE, THE DRIVE IS TO GIVE EVERY CAMPUS THE TOOLS TO TELL THEIR CAMPUSES STORY, AND THEN TO GIVE THEM A PLATFORM TO SHARE IT. SO, FREE EVENT. THERE WILL BE , IT , IT IS GOING TO BE A FUN, FUN EVENT, RED CARPET AT 5:00, MULTIPLE SHOWINGS IN THE EVENINGS FOR FAMILIES, AND THAT IS THE 20th AND 21st OF MARCH. AND I BELIEVE THAT IS OUR LAST SLIDE, SO MR. DAWKINS AND I HEAR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US. I WANT TO VOUCH FOR THAT FILM SHOWCASE. SEEING STUDENT WORK AND NO INCOME YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TEACHERS AND PEOPLE HELPING THE

141KIDS TO DO THAT, BUT SEEING IT ON THE BIG SCREEN IS , IT BOTH FULFILLS AND THEN LIFTS YOU UP, RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU ARE THINKING LOOK AT WHAT IS A POSSIBILITY, AND THEN OF COURSE YOU GUYS DID ALL OF THE, THE PREVIEW OF HAVING THESE SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES OF LCPS TELL ANYBODY WHO IS WATCHING THE AUDIENCE, THE STUDENTS, I WAS JUST LIKE YOU, I TOOK MEDIA AND NOW I WORK AT ESPN ARE NOW I WORK AT CNN, AND IT IS AMAZING. THANK YOU. IF I MAY, MR. DAWKINS HAS ACTUALLY THE POSTERS FOR THOSE EVENTS IF WE CAN APPROACH THE DAIS AND GIVE THOSE TO YOU ALL. YES, THANK YOU. MEMBERS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? PRESIDENT TENORIO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR KEEPING US SAFE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER RANSOMWARE ATTACK AND JUST KEEP AN

142EYE ON EVERYTHING . MR. DAWKINS, YOU GAVE US A TOUR OF THE FACILITY AND ALL OF THE COOL MACHINES, AND SO IT IS EXCITING TO SEE, AND WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK YOU DO .

ANY BOARD REPORTS? I REALLY

143DON'T HAVE A REPORT . THAT'S FINE. I HAVE , JUST QUICKLY , I WENT TO LAS CRUCES DAY IN SANTA FE WITH MR. FRANK , AND THE ADMIN TEAM, AND IT WAS AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER DOING THAT SORT OF THING, SO IT WAS FUN AND A LITTLE STRESSFUL, BUT I ENJOYED IT, AND I ENJOYED BEING, BEING INTAN WITH YOU , SHOWING, SHOWING OFF MY HOMETOWN. AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE AMAZING SHAKE AT THE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY WHICH IS ALWAYS A FANTASTIC EVENT, AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS WHO ARE DOING THEIR PRESENTATIONS , MOTIVATIONAL SPEECHES , AND PITCHING A PRODUCT , THERE ARE 1 MILLION THINGS , AND THE PRINCIPAL DIDN'T HAVE ME JUDGE THIS YEAR, SO I COULD GO AROUND AND I COULD CHECK OUT ALL THE

144KIDS DOING ALL THE GREAT THINGS . IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO GO TO THE AMAZING SHAKE, IT IS A SUPER EVENT. AND THEN I WENT TO LAS CRUCES HIGH SCHOOL, I WENT TO THEIR SHOWCASE, WHICH IS THE EVENT THAT THEY DO. SO ALL HIGH SCHOOLS HAD THEIR SHOWCASING EVENT FOR THEIR INCOMING NINTH GRADERS ON THE SAME DAY , SO I WENT TO MY ALMA MATER, WENT OVER TO LAS CRUCES HIGH SCHOOL, AND IT WAS COOL TO SEE ALL OF THE KIDS DOING ALL OF THEIR PERFORMANCES AND THEN THEY HAD ALL OF EVERYTHING OUT, AND BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, BECAUSE NORMALLY I WAS WITH MY FRENCH CLUB, FRENCH HONORS SOCIETY SAYING PLEASE TAKE FRENCH, AND WALKING AROUND AND SEEING ALL THE THINGS THAT THE KIDS DO, AND I KNOW IT WAS

145SUPER SUCCESSFUL AND ALL THE OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS, SO HOORAY LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS . GOOD JOB, MADAME CORT. MR. NOLAN? A COUPLE OF QUICK UPDATES.

MYSELF, TERESA, AND MEMBER CACTUS , GOT UP TO SANTA FE FOR NMSBA. DID A BIT OF LOBBYING. EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THAT. I KNOW THERE WAS A COMMUNITY SCHOOLS GAP , AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT ENDED AT THE END OF THE DAY , A FUNDING GAP, RATHER, SO INTERESTED TO HEAR WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE. I ATTENDED MY FIRST COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

146FORUM I'M GLAD I MUSCLED MY WAY ONTO THAT COMMITTEE. I THINK OF GOING TO LIKE IT THERE, AND I'M GOING TO DO A TOUR NEXT WEEK OF THREE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS . I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE ONE THAT IS IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PHASE, WHEN IT'S IN THE MIDDLE, AND THEN WHEN THAT IS ALIEN A LITTLE FURTHER ALONG IN THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL PHASE. I'M EXCITED FOR THAT. BUT I ALSO WANT TO WELCOME, FOR ROBIN IN THE BACK, THE DAUGHTER, OUR NEWEST TEACHER OF LAS CRUCES PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ACTUALLY , I DON'T KNOW IF THE NEWEST, BUT ONE OF OUR NEWER ONES.

I VISITED THERE A MONTH AGO, BUT WE JUST HAVEN'T MET IN A WHILE SINCE . I JUST WANT TO CALL AT THE AMAZING WORK THAT IS HAPPENING OVER THERE AND REALLY AM PROUD OF OUR DISTRICT FOR SUPPORTING PARTICULARLY DIVISION OF STUDENT SUCCESS ACADEMY AND HOW THAT EXPRESSES , THAT, THAT REALLY IS A

148GOOD EXPRESSION OF OUR VALUES AS A DISTRICT AND AS A COMMUNITY AND DOING THAT SORT OF WORK. KUDOS TO THE FOLKS THAT ARE DOING IT, BUT THAT'S IT FOR ME. MR. WOFFORD, ARE YOU STILL WITH US? YES, AND EVEN THOUGH I GET THE INTERNET UNSTABLE MESSAGE, I WILL TRY TO BE LESS OF A CACTUS FOR A MINUTE. WE LIKE IT . SO DO I. IT IS THE MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS BEHIND. I WANT TO ECHO WHAT MEMBER NOLAN SAID ABOUT NMSBA . THAT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH LEGISLATORS AND AT THAT CONFERENCE. I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY SINCE OUR LAST BOARD MEETING TO HELP OUT AT ARROWHEAD --THE POETRY OUT LOUD CONTEST, AND IT WAS VERY NEAT TO BE BACK WORKING WITH KIDS IN A CLASSROOM SETTING. THE KIDS WHO WERE CHOSEN FOR THAT HAVE AN

149ALL EXPENSE TRIP TO SANTA FE AND COULD ULTIMATELY COMPETE NATIONALLY, SO KUDOS FOR ORGANIZING THAT AT ARROWHEAD PARK. AND PRESIDENT TENORIO, YOU ATTENDED --I JUST STOPPED BY FOR LUNCH. SO, IT WAS NICE TO SEE EVERYTHING GOING ON, TO SEE THE BALLET FOLKLORICO AT LUNCH. IT LOOKS LIKE --WAS THE PROPER WORD AT THAT CONFERENCE IT WAS DOING VERY WELL.

150THINGS, BUT --WAS REALLY AWESOME. WAS PUT TOGETHER BY A BILINGUAL DEPARTMENT. IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE AN ENTIRE THEATER FILLED WITH BILINGUAL TEACHERS , AND THE PROGRAMMING WAS , IT WAS JUST PERFECT AS FAR AS LIKE, THE PRESENTERS. THEY INVITED THIS WOMAN FROM COLORADO WHO IS KIND OF PUSHING BACK AGAINST THE WAY THE BILINGUAL COMMUNITY AND THE CHILDREN ARE TREATED AND HAD TO KIND OF AND IS KIND OF WORKING OUTSIDE OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN ORDER TO SUPPORT IT. THEN THEY HAD SOME KIND OF BREAKOUT SESSIONS, WHICH WERE , I GOT TO GO HANG OUT WITH -- AGAIN. SO THAT WAS GOOD. I ATTENDED A NEXT STEPS SHOWCASE AT MAYFIELD, BUT THIS IS KIND OF WHERE IT BLURS WITH BEING A BOARD MEMBER, BUT I WAS THERE AS A MOM. I WAS THERE TO REGISTER
