Item eight, accountability rating for 2025, presented by Mr. Melinda Yala Rios. Good evening, members of the board. Uh, board president,
003Mrs. Garisa, superintendent of schools. Yeah, I'm a little under, but it's better than last time, I promise. Okay, so I'm um going to present to you the 2025 accountability ratings for our school district. Um, so, uh, for 2025, we were rated as a school district with a B rating. So, this is our actual rating for 2025. I'm going to I'm showing you a summary of how we earned our B rating. As you can see, we scored an overall 82. We did not get a distinction designation, which is the post-secary readiness. That's the only distinction designation as a school district that we can possibly get. Our goal, of course, is to receive an A as a district and to receive the post-secondary um um secondary distinction, I'm sorry. And for that distinction, it's a collaboration on
004the post-secondary uh readiness for all our campuses. I also included over the years um our overall ratings. Uh in 2023 and the last presentation I did give, we had a 79 which is a letter grade of a C. For 2024 that they just released at the same time that they released the 2025 ratings, we scored an 83, which is a B. And for 2025, we scored an 82, which is AB. And these are our ratings over the past three years. I'm going to go into the ratings for each one of our campuses. Our for Rio High School, our overall rating was AB. And they did get three distinctions. Uh academic achievement in reading language arts, academic achievement in science, academic achievement in social studies out of seven possible ratings. And they account for 1,667 students
005at their campus. Burga High School their overall rating was an 86 which was a B. They did get two distinctions academic achievement in mathematics top 25% in comparative closing the gaps which is 700 and and they have 714 students in 2025. And for early college high school they did earn an A which was a 97. um and they did get only one distinction which was the post-secary readiness and their campus was at an average of 430 students. One of the disclosures I do want to make for our high schools when it comes to the rating graduation rate and CCMR play a huge role for the ratings at these campuses. And one of the things that I do want to say is that CCMR lags a year. So these are for our is their 2025 ratings,
006but they're for our 2024 graduates that also earned CCMR. So that's why since they weigh pretty heavily in different domains, this is why our schools are able to score so well because we do do very well in CCMR. So we're hoping that for next year we'll have good ratings. But one of the disclosures I do want to um say as well is that in 2025 our CCMR our students had to be completers for CCMR and that was a little difficult uh for our kids to get done complete since most of our points do come from the CTE program. Um but I know that we're working closely with our principles to see how we can leverage off of other areas so that we can ensure that we get a better rating for next year. Our middle
007schools, Gria Middle School did have a score of a 79, which was a letter C with one um distinction designation, which is post-secary readiness. All their students counts for accountability, which was 632 students. Ringle Middle School had an 82, which is a letter B. They did have two distinction designations, academic achievement in science and postsecary readiness, and their student count was 639. Veterans Middle School did score an 82, which is a letter B with two distinction designations in academic achievement in science and academic achievement in social studies with 734 students enrolled in their campuses. So, um, here for their middle schools, CCMR and graduation rates don't don't take don't go into account. It's just their overall star performance of how they do and of course their academic growth and closing the gaps. For our elementary
008campuses, I'm going to start off with General Ricardo Sanchez Elementary. They had uh 93. They scored an A. There's six possible distinctions that an elementary campus can get. Uh this campus got five of them. Academic achievement in reading language arts, academic achievement in mathematics, top 25% comparative academic growth, postsecary readiness, top 25% comparative closing the gaps. So um General Sanchez got an A with a 93. Gria Elementary scored an 89 which they got a B but they also got five uh distinction designations academic achievement in reading language arts academic achievement in mathematics um academic achievement in science 20 top 25% comparative academic growth and postsecary readiness. Ringle Elementary had a score of an 85 which is a B. uh the they got two distinction designations with achievement in science and post-secary readiness. Dr. Mario E.
009Ramirez Elementary scored an 84 which is a B um with two distinction designations academic achievement in mathematics and postsecary readiness. Alto Monito scored an 84 and with one distinction designation which is achievement in science. John and Olive Elementary um you know John and Olive in Hosa Elementary scored a 74 which is a letter C uh with one distinction designation with achievement in science. Then we have Roger Gera Jr. Elementary with a 73 which is a C with no distinction designations. Laon Elementary with a 71 with no distinction designations and Alberto and Selia Barera with a 55 which is an F with no distinction designations. I do want to make it clear to our school board that we've already reached out and we've already met with all our campuses in need and we are closely working
010together with the through the different directors and the different departments and trying to make sure that our scores do improve for the upcoming school year. So I listed the overall scores for the past three years for every campus and the star of course designates the 2025 overall ratings. So as you can see um you have the 23 22 23 ratings in the far right and at when we were in 2023 we did have two campuses identified with as FS but the state again remember that these scores had not been released. So no account they were not held responsible for anything at that particular year. Um, but I do there is a caveat to that because in 2023 we have two campuses that were FC campuses. They are placed in a PEG list for this school
011year. And that's the only reason why they are in a peg list. For 2024, as you can see, all the schools improved. Those Fs went up to D's and C's. as you can see that um which was John and Olive and Lon Elementary. So they had significant improvement in 2024 and as most of our campuses did and we actually had from one A in 2023 we had three A's in the in the in all our schools in 2024. But in 2025 we regressed with one campus that we did get an F, but we had no D's. And as you can see, in the previous uh school year, we had a couple of D's, but in 2025, we had zero D's. But uh we did have just one F. And we do have we have uh
012four C's, nine B's, and two A's. So, I think that is still a big congratulations to our school district because I'm also um going to show you how we compare to the state and to the region when it comes to the number uh or the percentages for each one of our letter grades. Um our schools did well, but we do have one school which is Alberto and Selia Barera Elementary who was identified for school improvement as a comprehensive support and improvement school because they were rated a net. And we we have one school that is an additional targeted support which is John and Olive Elementary in NoSa. So if you notice that from our previous meetings, they've been awarded several lasso awards because they were already part of a target support. So that's what we're
013hoping that we're going to be hopefully leveraging off some more monies as the new grants come about. Um, and for targeted support and improvement, we have Laon Elementary and we also have Ringle Middle School. And I know this was kind of hard. This has to do with closing the gap, which is our last domain. And this is where the federal government takes place and says, "Okay, where are we and how are our subgroups scoring in certain indicators?" And since we for the past three years in certain areas um like for example for Ringle Middle School were the continuously enrolled but there were three indicators where they fell short on for three consecutive years and we're closely monitoring that for all our other campuses as well so that we can make sure that no one falls
014into school improvement as we move forward. So how do we do in comparison when it comes to our ratings with region one and the state? So I put percentages here. So as far as A's, we had two A's which was a 13% for our school district. Region one was at a 32% and the state was at a 23.9%. bees. Um I'm I was I'm very pleased that we showed 53% because those were nine of our campuses. And when we compared to the region and to the state, we are at a 41 and a 35. And I just recently attended a meeting with region one. And their goal, Dr. King's goal, as he mentioned to everyone in the audience, was he wants everyone to be at a C or higher. So I I was very happy
015that we're above them when it comes to the letter B at least percentage- wise. For letter C, we were had four campuses at a 26.7%. Um region one had 17 campuses, I mean 17% and the state was at a 25%. So again, we're also over the mark when it comes to um the letter C as well. For D's, we had a 0%. We had zero D's in our school district. There was 7.3% in the region and 11% in the state. And unfortunately, you know, we only have 15 schools that we compared to. One of them was um an F. That's a 6.7% but region one was at a 1.6 and the state was at a 4.7. But uh it's very very uh doable for this next upcoming school year where we're going to totally get
016out of that um that grade level and move forward. >> So this concludes my presentation. Are there any questions? >> Yes, I have a few. Ma, let me start off with do you know what the percentage graduation rate were for all the three high schools by any chance? Our graduation rate was close to 99% for all our three except for early college was 100%. >> Okay. How about uh CCMR percentage? >> In CCMR, they averaged over 93% graduates and that's one of the conversations we did have this Saturday. We did have I did have a training with uh all the high schools explaining to them the accountability and how that works because we look at CCMR but they need to understand that CCMR works as the number of graduates that we have that particular school
017year and looking at that as a matter of fact I already pulled out a report for one of our principles she's like take me take me the numbers because if I'm not going to make it in 2025 I want to make sure that where else can we move forward so everybody's fully aware and the sense of urgency is there in all our campuses. I do want to rest everybody assure of that just so that you know that we are working very closely with our campuses. >> I got two more questions. Ringle Middle School, they got a AB. Why would they be in target support if they got a B? >> They are in target support because of the continuously enrolled students which are our students who have been with us continuously year after year after
018year fell short according to the state with certain indicators. One of them for sure was in mathematics they didn't they have to score at meetats or better. So we had those kids that fall under that particular um that particular target which is the continuously enrolled for the past three years 23 24 25 they did not meet the mark. And so again it also goes with academic growth. It also goes with delpas. It also goes with way the school quality. And the school quality that one is where all the students they take the they take the approaches meets masters from all the students that tested in English in reading math science and social studies at middle schools and that component score plays a big role in that domain and if they don't meet the mark for
019the three consecutive years and in three different uh levels they're automatically uh considered target support. >> Last two questions I have. First of all, I think the the the schools did tremendously well. Uh most of them went up and I congratulate all the principles and all the parents and everybody for doing well. The only sticker in all this is I have a problem, you know, when all the schools do well, you have A's, you have B's, you have C's, but they're still doing well. But that that F kind of sticks out uh tremendously. And uh let me ask, what are we going to do to make sure that that F comes up? Because think about it, we got A's, we got B's, uh A's in in elementary, and I compliment Miss Carmona. We have B's
020in high school. We did tremendously well, couple of C's, but that F just doesn't sit right. >> So, one of the things that we're doing as a school district right now, I know Miss uh Gara was very very um adamant and moving forward assigning mentors to these schools. So, we are mentoring these uh campuses. They do have some new um they have they have new administration in those campuses especially like in our F campus and Miss Escarmona is now joining us in our team here at the district and she will be mentoring Alberto and Selia so a lot of the practices that she did have that's why we're pretty confident that that for sure that that'll help us go up but we all closely look at um how they did overall and we're really looking
021at it through a fine comb tooth and say you know what are the areas that we can improve on. So we are looking at improvement for that campus and the only thing we can do is move up and that's the way I see it. >> Again I think the schools did tremendously well and the only sticker it would be that but I congratulate I guess every all the administration principles teachers and everybody did a fantastic job >> and I yeah great I do I do want to just make sure you all know that we are working very very closely with all our campuses and we're not going to leave anybody behind for sure. Thank you. Thank you. >> All right, we move on to section six. Do we have any public comments on agenda items,
022Miss Claudia? None. Thank you. Section seven, consent agenda. We're consent agenda on items for consent items listed on the agenda that were previously discussed and presented at the board workshop. At this time, can I have a motion to approve consent agenda items A through W? >> Madam President, I move that we approve the consent agenda as presented that consists of items 7 A through 7W. >> Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Madame President, there was an addendum and I have just one question on the addendum. It was not included in the workshop. The addendum just real simple. >> 5,000 and over. >> Yeah, the one they gave us an addendum after the the work session. Correct. >> And I just wanted to know we're re- roofing for $106,000. Did we take bids on
023that by any chance? Ma'am, >> did we did we what again, Mr. >> Did we take bids on it? It's $106,000 and our policy says that anything above $50,000 or how do we do it? Could I ask? >> No, I don't think the policy states, I'm not mistaken, they are from by board or not necessarily by board. Miss Pña, you're here. I want to know from belong to one of those co-ops and that is the reason Mr. Vya that we decided to go with this company from the co-op. The next question I have, are they bonded? Basically, >> are they what? Can they >> bonded? >> They should be. Yes, Miss Pñena, you can come forward, ma'am. Thank you. >> That's an if it's a byboard, not a problem. But the next question I have
024is are they bonded? Simply put, >> good evening, Madame President, members of the board, superintendent, Miss Carson. >> And yes, sir. Uh they are uh co-op. So, it is such as by board, they are tips. So, we did go out, you know, with the best possible quotes for these roofs. just make sure they're bonded because if they're bonded and the project they leave it halfway the bond kicks in. So I would recommend that you get a copy of the bond or make sure they have a bond because the the size of the project literally requires a bond. So just make sure they have one >> and normally if it's by board they are typically bonded but go ahead and get that documentation please. >> Thank you. >> That's correct. >> Thank you Miss Pñena. >>

028it and showed her how it works. It shows all the indicators. So you're able to go in and see all the ind CCMR indicators and see where their students at easy to track for the counselors to use for CCMR tracking. >> And the cost is 8,000 roughly. >> Yes. >> 7,753 which is pretty good. Yeah, >> because there are some out some programs out there, they're like $60,000.
