001the school representative. Raise your hand, because only the representative of each school will be called by me, and if you please raise your hand to show that you are present, and if not, we will... Okay. We're going to take on the role of the agenda. Uh, once again I'm going to be calling every school. So, I need the school representative to raise their hand to indicate they are present. If they are absent and will be arriving later, please let us know. Okay. So, I'm going. Ah, MLK is currently present to César Chávez. Present. BRB. Present. Frank Paul. Present. Crickside. Present. St back. Right now, present. Good. Oscarloya present. To the community present. Monte Bella present. Barden is not currently present, but if he arrives in a few minutes, please let us know. Not at the
002moment. Jess G. Sanchez is also absent, and Freemont is also currently absent. Very well, thank you very much. So, let's go over the agenda right now. Uh, we're going to have a review regarding the agreements. Perfect. If you can take a minute, please, and look at our agreements here. They can choose one, they can choose two, and anyone who wants to share. Uh, I, for example, today, uh, I always choose to participate fully because I want to try to be there for everything. So, that's what I choose to watch on a particular day. Good afternoon. I would like to share being open to listening and learning from other perspectives and ideas. Anyone interested in participating? Very good. Thank you so much. Now I'm going to pass the microphone to M. García. Mrs. Garcia, are you
003going to talk to us about the nominations and the results? Thank you, Mira Mendoza. Good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon. This one, but there's one in front of you who has a nomination. Those were the people who were nominated, and the people up there like Mrs. Rot and Mr. Alfredo Belm, they received more nominations. That means they received three nominations from someone here. And then Mrs. María Aréo Margarita Pineda and Mrs. Janet Vázquez, who just let me know that she was not the one who wanted to be nominated. She wanted to nominate someone else, that's all, and we have to see her come to confirm that she nominated someone else instead of putting her name. Yes, he did put his name, but he put it twice: once in the nomination and once in the name of
004the person who was nominating him. So, these are the little people who are here. As Mrs. Mendoza said. Ah, we have two vacancies. We have the vacancy for timekeeper and parliamentary officer, who is the timekeeper, so that you are here at Kak's table and you are basically in charge of keeping time, you make sure that everything in the meeting runs smoothly, right? According to the rules above, the community agreements. We also have the other one, which is the secretary, and basically you are the ones who will be in charge of taking notes. That means they have to be actively listening, they have to be, as they say, listening very carefully, attentively, so that they are taking notes. Right now, Mrs. Nageli Sandoval has been helping us with that. Julio and I can't take the notes.
005Yes, we can take it, but there is a conflict of interest. That's why it's very important that the parents sitting at the table are the ones taking the notes. Oh, and then we have Mrs., Dr. Fernandez asked me to please have an alternative parent, because sometimes someone from the table can't attend and sometimes two don't come or we're going to choose basically two alternative parents, but one is going to be officially the alternative parent or the alternative mother who is going to come and is going to be sitting there, but their vote is going to count to have a for when we, or I don't know how to say it in Spanish, but there I put my English, my Spanglish, I say. So, then he says, right now what we're going to do is have
006Mrs. Rut come by, she's going to talk a little about herself and when she talks about herself she's going to tell you why she has this, who she is, who her children are, what her goal is to participate here in Chila, why she has this purpose, why she's so eager to form this committee. After her, Mr. Alfredo Belmán will follow. Afterwards, the other parents who are here will also tell us a little bit about who they are, what school they represent, who their children are, whether they are English learners or if they have already been reclassified or if their children are only English students. Okay. Do you have any questions for me? No. Are you ready to hear Mrs. Rus's biography all at once? Yes or no? Ha, let's hear it with gusto. Okay, ma'am.
007Okay, let's stop here. The microphone is here ready for you and Rut can be a sponge, whether for timekeeping or secretarial work. Okay, goodnight everyone. Good night. Good evening everyone. I am a parent from the Montevella school. I have two, I have two children, a girl and a boy. My name is Ru Gomez and I am from the state of Oaxaca and my education I only studied, I reached the middle school and my children's goals are to be involved in the school, in the meetings or when there is a meeting. Their goal is, I want them to get to college or also to be aware of the programs offered by the AIS district, like after-school programs, ah, programs like Sports, Madiachi, I have a child in Montevella, he is 9 years old, Jairo, and I
008have him in music. I've had it since first year and I'm still trying hard to manage it. He goes every day and never misses a day; he likes the guitar. And I have another daughter who is in Aizal. She's in sixth grade and she also liked the drone program, she was in it for about a year, but then she took a break, she didn't want to be in another program anymore, so I make sure they pay attention to their classes, that they don't miss them and they almost never do, and well, my goal for them is for them to get to university, like I have one right now who is also working hard and it's also to support other parents so that their children can get to and go through university. And I'm happy when
009I have a father I talk to, and his son about the visa, he also finished his degree in New York, and I was happy because he finished his degree. To make it so long and to offer something, I would like to, like when a father asks something about the meetings, I can tell him the little bit I know. And why do I want to be in Vila? Well, I liked it because I like to learn from what they teach us, you know, what one learns from the district directors' meetings , well, many things, and also to support my father who needs help with the programs they offer to the school when they can't go to the meetings. That. Thank you. They already listened to Mrs. Brunta at the same time. Imagine if you would want
010her to be our secretary or our member of parliament. I can say that word better than the " Now let's give a round of applause to Mr. Alfredo Belmán." He comes from the pass, come here please, and tell us who he is and why he wants to be here in Dila. Hello, um, good evening. Good night. My name is Alfredo Este, my daughter only speaks English, but she speaks Spanish more or less. Ah, the reason I'm here for Kila is because I am this person that I also was when I was little. This makes me very sad, but oh, my dad and mom are immigrants here, they worked in the east and were deported three times when they were little. Thanks to Reinan, they were able to get their green charge and then became citizens.
011In that respect I lived here in Salinas, I went to Breakfall, I went to the school and I gave it with a lot of shame because I don't like to say much about titles, but I did take that opportunity that my mom and dad gave me and to the school, to pursue an international baccalaureate. Then after that, pay for a master's degree in economics. This is several steps in the education service. From then until today I work for the founder of the Monrey Health Department. Ah, I'm a project manager. This is an achievement I made for the Israel community, specifically I was part of the group that built South in Ocaní, you know, the building that is next to the Mury. It was a $22 million project. This, you can see that the county has
012a lot of confidence in me. Ah, I'm here because, like me when I was a kid, I did see many of my friends who don't know English. They stayed, they had to stay. Oh, and that bothered me a lot. In my own way, I want to return to my community, to try out services and do what I can on my own behalf. Ah, I am a very humble person, as I don't like to talk about titles, I ask you to start this now, but yes, yes, this, as I say, military in English. Ah, but in that same tone I think that the children who are going to learn English deserve the opportunity to join my larger line and that is why I am here to return to my community and not greet my daughter other
013children who are part of her um went through high frank um elementary school high school I was fortunate my parents gave me a good education I took it upon myself their wishes I just see the bachelor degree international business and history degree in economics bu I work the county in mon fortunate enough to build uh part of the construction I was greater health center here in Mory 23 project um with that said I myself to be a very good combo person about my degrees other than how I so having my daughter almost speaks English and I know this is my DSL student and I know first time how other students that didn't get learn English well enough uh were isolated programs very fortunate but that's just the reality of this is that a lot of
014times the transfer is not so great that it helps but although my daughters have me aspiration that children who want to learn English part of her in terms of positions as mention as a project manager of the This position differs from other projects. I can write, take notes well on any part of my work. I can also create a lot of structure. I can organize this so that everything goes smoothly, so that it's done well. leader or secretary I feel like I have that leverage to make a good note um especially with AI more easier I also parent entrenamient more about Mr. Alfredo Belmán, he is from the Sifen school. Now we're going to ask if this Maria Arealo is here, and if she tells us what school it is and if Mrs. Maria is
015here. Yes, no, she didn't come, Margarita Pineda is not present . Margarita Pineda is here. absent, isn't he ? Okay. And Mrs. Alejandra has not arrived yet. She says that Vázquez nominated her. He walks by and says, "Who are you ?" That's quick, and then you can write your name if you want to vote for Alejandra. Good afternoon, almost many. My name is Alejandra Rey. I currently have two students in the classes, one in fifth grade and one in third grade. Well, I also had the district notify the largest one, which is currently 17 and will be recording the expo this year. Ah, he went through rectification. as the process and work necessary to support students, to be classified, he was classified in the fourth grade. The fifth-grade boy is in English only because he
016has support in that area in special education, and the girl, although she is an English student, is also a Spanish student and she is in the program. I have a little experience in all three, only in bilingualism and classification and in the area of bilingual instruction. And as a parent, in recent years I have been very involved in the committees for leaving the migrant program. I have also been part of the migrant committee and the parents' group, and I also like to attend any kind of workshops the district offers with information because the information that can be provided is very essential in supporting students to grow and supporting us as parents to support them to continue learning. And I consider myself to have two necessary services, right? Sorry, I get nervous. I can talk, but
017I get really nervous. But I believe that in the groups I've been in, I've held positions that I think have prepared me to conquer. I have been president, secretary, and also a member, not only that, but currently I am the district representative for the Celta committee, which is for special education. Oh, and not only the representative of Alisar, but they also appointed me president of the cone committee. I have a little bit of experience and I think that all the children should see, oh sorry, have a relationship of equality of quality of quality of quality. And I appreciate the help much more for everyone. Thank you. Okay, if we can take a minute, please. Look at the ballot there, please. Please choose what you want to happen. They're going to choose, they're going to choose
018one to be a member of parliament, one to be a secretary, and then one to be, well, dad or mom, right? Of alternatives. You other little people aren't here, but that doesn't mean you can't vote for them. Oh, if you'd like Mrs. Alejandra to participate, she's the person who should be here where Janet Vázquez is because she was the one who nominated her. Okay. So it was just a mistake, nothing more than that. Yes, it's one per school, please. The father is the one who votes. If the father is not here, you can say one per school. It is the father who is going to vote. Okay. Yes. For example. Yes, go around collecting the tickets and then at the end we'll tell you who won. Please come forward, because we're going to start the
019next presentation. Ok, you're up and so is for 12 ballots. They were able to say something about them at another school. year with Dr. was this was her project uh and she so there's a lot she left us with to do we appreciate her uh but we're going to review this tonight so if you go next slide please. We're currently in phase one. Uh it's started in November through January. Here, so I find this is reviewing our outcomes, gathering data, and studying our upcoming prayer. Yes, we're currently on the next topic on the agenda, and we're going right now . Well, they're both dead now. Both microphones died and right now we're talking about how to the director. This was a project that was part of Dr. Álvarez's work, and this is the first time
020she's talking about it. We're presenting it now, outlining the different foundations, and we're currently in the first phase, the preparation. We're reviewing the period from November to January 2016, collecting information, and deciding what we're going to do with the future. Thank you. 18 I believe our review will go to the board with updates as we are information and then when information we are going to go to the board. Next slide please. We will be moving next in phase two which starts this month in March. This is identifying areas in need and drafting our new goals in 2627. So our LC surveys will start going out next week. They do launch on January 25th. In this second stage that we are starting from January until March, what we are going to do is continue this information
021and we are going to do it in the form of surveys, that every year there will be the survey of and that is what we are going to do. And that survey is done for all those who are classified, certified teachers or those who work in the district and we are going to collect and present that information . Once we conduct the surveys to find out what you would like to vote on, that's when we'll create the accounts in March and April , right? What is our staff telling us? What are my parents telling me, and what are we going to focus on for the future in terms of our goals? It will also gather feedb from you. This is getting feedback from community staff and students to refine our goals. We come back and
022present that we have drafted. The next stage will involve continuing to gather information from the community, including parents and students, and refining the goals to see what we can do to make it representative of what is being asked for . And finally, if all goes well, 5 we will be submitting it to the board is June for and in July. The fifth stage will be the entire board meeting in June, and that will be representative. Yes, if that happens and everything goes well. So we're going to submit the California one for the offers we 've created for June. A small modification states that the dates mentioned, September 2016, do not exist; everything must be determined by time. Ask a question. Yes. Oh, regarding the surveys, they are conducted for parents, for teachers, and for students.
023Yes. And in class for ex and classification. Okay. Specified students, teachers and those not specified will be taken at the same time next week, the same time as when parents will receive the survey. Yes, yes. Very good, very good. So, ah, by June 3, the draft will be presented to the board for approval and finalized by February. She will come to present it to us in February. We will be seeing it gradually , each time at the next meeting she will be here to present it and update us in February, March, April and May. I do n't know them, currently each school will carry out its plan. In the next school council meeting at each school, we will be discussing this topic in our schools on specific dates . Yes, in schools, in the school
024connection, it should also be soon, soon, soon, okay, that happens for Welcome. We gather the students, explain and classify the parents or staff, classify them, present the students with the significant information so that they can answer. I will thank you, school principal. for Sarina Solis. Then we had the first ones, the teachers explained to us, then the teachers had time for the chalice too, as in our school we have assemblies every Monday. This morning we read this week about the kidnapping and the door, Yes explains. Aside from the school board meeting that will take place, they will review with the parents in that region what the goals are. This type of thing is done in a community-based way, where different posters are put up on different topics because there are different goals, and in each
025one, the information is presented. It is very important to invite all the parents and also members of the community to these meetings, and there they basically meet, write down all the ideas that you as parents have, and it is very important to write as a parent about how those expenses for the school will be carried out. Who needs the student? It seems like you need something to help the student reach those goals. What does the student need to reach those goals? Currently, there are five. Usually, back then there were four, now there are five. Finally, information about mental health was added . I don't know if in the next one it seems he's going to go a little deeper. Perfect. This will also be carried out in community meetings where we will have the opportunity
026for the entire district and community members as well as those meetings at each school. I imagine it will be held here, as they have usually done in the past, but these are two more opportunities for parents to share this information. What's increasing is what they share; what they do n't, and if they've lost those ideas, well, it wo n't be. So, something they've always wanted to have in the collapse, that's the moment to raise their and the specific dates will be reported the concern. Yes, thank you. We're going to change the name because we're already way behind schedule. Any other questions can't be asked after the lady finishes right now because otherwise we'll be late . Okay. We are now going to welcome Mrs. Mendoza, Olivia Dávalos. Clear. Okay. Next, we will have a presentation
027that Mrs. Olivia Ávalos will give us regarding "know your rights information." Thank you so much. I am very important and I am the community space coordinator at Dr. Loyal School and I am here to give you a little bit of information about what we are doing in the district regarding knowing your rights. So, this is a report of what we have done and what we are going to do through our part, specifically in our community deadlines and the collaboration of the PPS team, the software workers and Claudia's communications department. These are shaped like little coffee cups. We have visited each of the 12 schools in our district and partnered with the FUNFW Foundation and its new representative to share information about knowing your rights. Who here went to their school? Anyone here? One, two, three,
028five. We have several people who did attend this event that happened at this school and we have, oh, it was very popular. Um, if we turn to the next page we can see, or rather, it 's a short part of the presentation given by our colleague from the UFW Foundation, but it was so popular that we want to bring it back to our schools at different times. We're even trying to take the second step, not only to share that one again , but to give another one with more information, more detailed, with more details about ARD, the labor law that teaches them what their rights are and the licenses that protect them at work. That's the organization, and that was an email we just received today, saying they want to continue working with us. This
029work that we already started our department is a squad in Oscar Loya in the community space giving the presentation. As you can see from the seats, everyone received a red card. Here I have the red cards, or if any of my colleagues want to help me pass on the red card that each of us should carry for any reason. Just in case. Besides that, they gave the families some cilajos (a type of sweet) and a wealth of information that no one can take away from them. So, whatever you're going to attend to, regardless of your legal status, is information you can take with you and share with your neighbors, and it could be very useful. So if you see that she's going to give a presentation at your school or anywhere else about knowing your
030rights, please come because it's very important that we are informed. Um, another thing I wanted to tell you, uh, in collaboration with the PS department, which the director, Luis Garcia, accompanies us with, we are doing or we are going to train, we have already been trained, we two have been trained on two occasions, in the community spaces that include Community School Coordinators, the coordinators of the community spaces and the parent education specialists . We have already received two training sessions on this type of information and now it is time to expand our training and the people who are all the secretaries in the front office and those in administration will also receive training starting at the end of this month. That's what's going on. Very good. Uh, after the coffee break we've been to different
031schools with the package called the California Child Safety Plan. The California Child Safety Plan is a very good option for each of us who have children, regardless of our immigration status. I would recommend that we have a child safety plan. And this applies to any type of separation that may exist. Ah, it could be some weather emergency, it could be about a trip, or it could be what we 've been seeing of skidding separations. So, it's important that we have the child care safety plan. We are promoting this in each of the schools, as you can see here, we are distributing them with the same red cards, little gifts, it is so important that we have space and we are putting this at the top of our agenda. If anyone wants help after this, we'll
032be happy to assist them and help them fill out the CH package. In each of our schools there is a community space and we are all trained to help you fill out this package. Okay. This packet is 30 pages long and on the back it has the information you would need to fill it out completely. Some of the things are, for example, your driver's license, your emergency contacts, but there are other things that we recommend you also bring, such as passports or certificates. If you don't have any of those documents, no problem. We can fill whatever you have and we're there to help you fill this when you're ready. The last thing I wanted to mention is that we have an immigration resources page on our website . Our communications director, who is with us
033here, has added resources that could help us, such as California legislation, legal services, more information about cases, rights, and family safety plans, which is what I'm showing you here. If you feel you can fill up at home, we have this plan I have here. Ah, there's a link on the website and some important links that might help you. Thank you very much for the quick questions. Is there a question? Does anyone have any questions? Yes. Okay. Let's see, tell us if we can catch up. It's just that it's not okay. It's something that will stay with itself. We're not going to keep that package. You take it home. Parents need to be present to fill out the child parent safety plan is no. Uh, it's a form that can be filled out by any single
034guardian. And also, very well, the information is completed by either parent; it does n't have to be both. And that information is basically like a plan for your family. Once you complete it, you take it back home. Okay. Anyone else? Okay. So, my only question is, I know that giving information on how to prepare oneself as a parent is important, but right now, as I mentioned one day, a child is going to be 18 years old. I'm in the process of figuring out how to educate him in case something happens, right? Do they offer any information on how to search, especially since we're talking about adding him to the list of people who need to be prepared in case of an emergency? The question was uh for a 18 year old is there any information
035that we can provide and give our children in this case about. Ah, the answer would be, uh, they are always welcome to join us in our community space and there we can give the best individual attention. Uh, that would be, I think, something we could discuss. His son is always coming to our cafes. I also want to mention that our colleagues from the High Schools are also making an effort to receive training and try to bring that information back as well. And it's a very good question to ask what kind of coffees they bring when we go when UFW comes, so these are very specific questions. When UFW is present, we promise they will know the answer, so bring those questions. We're going to continue with the agenda because we're here, but that's a very
036good question. Thank you so much. Take advantage of the services we offer. We are there to help them. Okay. Come to the workshops. Well, thank you. Thank you so much. Very good information. They can raise less if they are coordinators to the community school coordinators. Welcome. Thank you for being here. Now let's move on to the next topic. We're going to make announcements about the CADE 2026 conference, which is just around the corner. Miss Garcia, Miss B. Yes. Okay. Nothing else functions either. I was not investigated. It makes a noise too. So, the principals, all the school principals, along with the assistant principals, I imagine, Dr. Fernandez sent them an email because the CAD conference, which is California, is for education, for all the parents who are here. Okay. Are you parents who have children
037who are learning English, or are parents who are just parents of children who were reclassified or who only learn English? It's a very good conference. I don't have the details because they weren't sent to me , but I was told to announce that all the principals already have the email where we're asking them, right?, to please recruit parents, invite parents, a parent representative, and when I say parent I also mean moms, okay? Please attend the cabin conference. When will it be good? It's February. Okay. From March 4th to March 7th. March 4. This one, they have everything paid for. You no longer have to pay for your stay or your flight. Oh, and if you haven't gone, take the opportunity to go. Talk to your principal and say, "Hey, I heard at the meeting ,
038please, I want to be part of C, please. Please attach it. Yes, it will arrive. Before, the parents sent it, but now it will be through the schools. Yes, now it's through the schools . We'll take care of the contract and everything, but the schools have to give us the names. Now, it's like Dr. Fernández sent the email, or please send us a parent's name because sometimes Dila's parents have already gone and we want to give Father Sanito the opportunity. They haven't gone, they haven't gone. It doesn't mean you're not welcome. We're always looking for more parents because someone ca n't go, so we already have a list of alternative parents. You have a parent's number, please choose two. It's one. The email says one, but send two because you know we always lose track,
039but only one is allowed, but maybe Have more funds available. Now, if the principals want to send staff, other parents have accounts in their degree that they received additionally; they can send parents there. It's mandatory that a parent go, right? Yes, parents have priority right now. Okay. Uh, where's it going to be? Where? In San Francisco. We're not going to pay for flights, but we will be flying. Well, that's fine, right? Going to San Diego is another thing, right? Okay, now then. Okay, that's all. And if you have questions for the next meeting, on February 24th we'll be closer. I'll remind you again because there are always last-minute cancellations. Okay. Alright then. Okay, now on to expanded learning. Yes, we're going to have Mr. Fausto, if you could come to the front, please. He's going
040to be talking to us about expanded learning, which is the after-school programs like Saturdays, for example. Thank you. Good night, everyone. Good evening, and I'm here with pleasure. You can be here every month, or my friend, the program manager, Ms. Julilo, will also be here sometimes . We'll be bringing you updates on the programs we're offering. This Saturday, the Saturday programs begin, right? For example, Stbe, Cri, BRB, Alisal, Montpella, and Baril will have NASA for the next five Saturdays. The other schools will have the program, right? Like engineering, math, and technology, right? And also for five consecutive Saturdays. Then they switch, right? Once you've had a program, it switches to ASEM, but they'll be there. This is very important for the children so they can develop these skills, have something productive to do, it's half
041the day, right? So there are opportunities there. It also helps the district recover attendance. I mean, the district, right? Because there have been many questions from parents, "But they don't take it away from me anymore." "Attendance on the list." Right. I mean, it's already state law that you can't stop teaching, right? However, remember that all districts receive funding because every child is present in school. Every time a child is absent, all the funds are lost; they can't be recovered. So, that's why we also ask for collaboration and support so that everything can continue to be free for everyone, right? That you also support us and spread the word that you should still send the children to make up for missed attendance. And that's why we try to make these programs academically fun as well, right?
042And that they enjoy them, right? So, you're also benefiting the district by helping to maintain several existing programs, right? That's why we ask you to spread the word. Okay? So, that's for the Saturday programs. Now, basketball also starts on Saturdays , right? For the children, and it will be for everyone. So, it will be here, right? San Sánchez here in this world and also in Mok. Right? So the season is starting now, so if you have kids, right? Registration is closed, yes, right? But they're ready to participate in the spring program, right? The spring program, I mean, so the kids also get academic support and all that. Oh, and outdoor activities too . We'll also have pottery for the kids so they can make things, right? It's going to be from March 23rd to 27th.
043We'll start sending out announcements for next week. We have our last meeting this Friday, right? To plan everything. So that way too , right? Also, so the kids are active, so they're recovering, right? Socially, uh, and these programs are flexible, right? We're required to be open from eight to five, but you can take the kids to the doctor or bring them back again. You go running errands, you don't leave the kids, right? And then the kids are crying because they don't want to leave. That's right. That all of that is flexible, right? Right? So it's also a benefit for everyone, right? Oh, and there are also seven schools that have received state government funding , right? And this is to provide this intervention for the schools. So, one of these schools is going to be
044AIS, Barden, Chavez, Freeman. Oh, that 's four, I'm missing three, BRB, right? Uh, also Sanchez, the Dijas, the... Yes, right? So, so that you're also aware, we're already working with the principals so that they're planning, right? And starting that extra support for the children. And if the children are already participating in an after-school program, the priority will also be for them to catch up, right? To give them support in math and language, which most of the principals are planning for, right? And the idea is that the teachers themselves from the schools will provide this support because there's already support for the... So, this is currently a... Currently, as we move forward next month, we'll have some questions, doubts, please, Julio. And he'll pass them along. They have some questions, it seems, so that we can
045hear them. Yes, we're going to ask you, it seems you have to come to the front. I'd like to bring you to the microphone, and it's good practice so that you get used to coming here to the microphone. Good practice. That way we'll gain more confidence, right? So that when you're nominated later, you'll already know how to speak, having overcome the fear through practice. Well, good afternoon. My question is for you, how coordinated are you regarding childcare? My question is because this past year, when I was in classes from June to July, the videos... this child was... well, when I arrived, it turns out the Giant program was outside. The children were... the children... there was no one to supervise us. The children were playing with a toy car, climbing on it, jumping. So, even
046the man from the TV station had to tell them off because... One of them was also crossing the path at the base. So when I was there, I did call their attention to it and said, "Oh no, it can't be like this because these children are all in danger anyway because they're crossing." There are even younger children who are with their little siblings, and I was looking at all those details and I said, "No, they need to know how they can improve this for the children's safety because there was practically no one there." Thank you for that question and suggestion, which was also a question and a suggestion, right? We're always working with other colleagues who also have programs to coordinate these kinds of services and provide support and supervision, right? Obviously, we always are,
047right? But at the same time, we also work with the parents and families, right? To give them more appropriate information, so they know the steps to follow, where the children should be admitted, right? So they can register them and not be left out, right? But we also take responsibility, as you said, right? To be more aware of having staff there, because we consider all the Our children, regardless of the program, right? So, if they're already in a larger program, we've already transferred them to the Kilop summer program, right? So they're in a safe place, and we know exactly where they need to go. But we do keep this information, right? To be somewhat prepared. Thank you. Anyone else? I wanted to ask because you mentioned that basketball registration is closed, right? As a parent, I've
048noticed that registration has dropped a lot because it's been difficult for the school to play against other schools where they can't because they do n't have a full roster. Right now, the concern is whether they're setting up a phone line so children can register after they see if the team is ready or if they're missing kids. I don't know the limit on how many people can sign up, and I'm worried they won't get the chance to participate. The other thing is with the folk group, and I mention this because My daughter herself has been told, "We don't have many girls in the upper group, there are only three, right?" Oh, I don't know what's going on there because it's a Floric toad, and it's the first one she's invited to, and not many are attending,
049right? Oh, also, a suggestion about the shirts they give the kids after they participate. Oh, I already have about 12 of the same one. A different change because every year they get the same prize for participating on the team, and also in terms of how they participate because I think—I haven't seen, I'm not sure—but they do announce when the winners are, but they're only the second to do it, and not much. Or something for the parents and students. Obviously, we always consider the ideas, the suggestions, right? And regarding basketball, we 've also considered making some district teams, for example, right? To give them the opportunity, if their school isn't big enough, to form a team from the district, right? And give them the opportunity to play and have fun because that's what they want. Right?
050We've mainly considered that, we're going to look at those ways, see how the lists are, and always consider one of those and always involve them and give them the opportunity. Oh, in several schools they've also increased the number of teams, right? There are already two, right? And even one school that wants three teams, we're looking into it, right? Oh, always bringing the best for the children. Oh, regarding folklore, right? Remember, we address folklore in every school, they already have a folklore group and they've had many challenges because they've been constantly sending invitations, trying to recruit, right? And that's what we're always doing too, right? Unfortunately, since we also offer many programs, right? Uh, parallel ones too, right? So, children choose, for example, cheerleading, right? Right now we have between 60 and 80 girls who were
051even in some folklore groups, others were in other programs and wanted to try that one instead , right? Now, I'm not saying that's the only thing that's happening, but what we will be doing is promoting their motivation and continued participation, right? Any ideas you have, please let us know, and also please try to motivate the parents at your schools to register their children and give them these opportunities to participate, right? And regarding the prizes and all that, we always try to recognize them, right? At least we're going to talk to the coaches and give them the opportunity to recognize the children who participated, right? So, about the t-shirts, we've had the regular ones, right? But the children also have the school shirt, right? That has to be returned because it's like the high school lends
052it out, but they have to return it, right? Now, we've seen other parents say, "Well, what if I buy it?" So we're going to look into getting those too, and I've already spoken with the agency, and they're willing to do that as well. to remove them and sell them directly to the parents without our intervention, right? So there's no conflict between us, right? So for this season, I'm going to give you the information; we're going to send you where you can order your own shirt, right? So thank you also for the suggestions. Any other questions, or do we have one more? Um, regarding the planetariums, the inflatables, I'd like to see them in the school, right? We have them, and yes, I'd like to see them put to use. We know the state requires a
053certain number of minutes of science, and they could be used for that. I mean, of course. And it's good that you're mentioning it because recently in Montevella, right? Oig also requested them; they'll have them there next week, right? So we have them available there, right? To all the principals here, they know, they can use them as long as the teachers want to . Yes, we have them, but we can't have them only in the schools because These are very simple items, aren't they? And also very expensive, we don't want them to get lost later and then we're left with nothing , right? So, I'd be happy to continue promoting this. We've said, Ms. Garcia, maybe we can bring one here, right? So that you can also have that experience of being there and wow, it's
054going to be a beautiful experience to be inside and see what the children see and everything. It's not just a planetarium, it can also be used for Earth science, the ocean. Think about it, when the children are on the ground and the whale is passing over them, right? It's like they 're in a bubble, they're all very happy, right? So, it's available, just let Ms. Garcia and Mr. Castro know when we can bring it and we can have it ready for our celebration after we have one last question. The photos of the seven schools that received extra support for the children in what aspect—tutoring, intervention tutoring—and so right now the directors are working with their Teachers, right? To create a plan, right? That asks the state to be ready, right? And that would be extra
055support. So, they're going to base it on the data they have and identify the children who need the most support. First, we'll focus on those children, right? And it's based on this; they submitted a proposal to the state, and we delivered it, and thank God they gave it to us, right? It's the funding they have for this entire semester. So, we'll see you stay tuned because we have a schedule that as soon as they give us the funds—they already told us they're going to give them to us— but as the saying goes, until we see it, right? Until we have them, so we can tell the principals, "Now you can start." We're estimating maybe by February, but it seems like one more question, sorry. Oh, yes, that just reminded me. Last Friday we had a
056special meeting, and they mentioned something, and it's like a lack of representation, of being representatives, but they mentioned that we... and I know that... and we know that it's not going to be from now until... Tomorrow, right? But a program like after school or like SENS or NASA that's specifically, uh, how do you say it? For students in special education, in the sense that the writers know how to support them, uh, so they can feel, right? Also, in problems like that. Very well, thank you. Um, I also participate every month in regional meetings on behalf of the state, and that's where we 're updating them, and I can also bring up this suggestion just to say that all children, no matter who they're from, uh, we have to provide them with access, right? So, maybe
057the IIP services don't apply after school or in extended programs, but if the support, for example, if the child, if the teachers get together and say, "Yes, the child can participate and all because of the circumstances," then they say, "but they have an aide," then we provide it to that aide, right? But at the same time we always give them the opportunity, at least give them the opportunity of access. Once the children are there, we have noticed that sometimes the children no longer want to be there, because it gets tiring for them. That is, they cannot do certain things. So, when we meet with the parents and offer them other alternatives like modifying the schedule, right? But we always have access for all children and we try to include them. Personally, I've always been very
058much in favor of the inclusion of all children, and I've always fought for that too, right? But if we need to do something else, we'll see. Thank you so much. Thanks a lot. Now let's go over the results. We already have the results. Garcia, I want to thank Mr. Martinez, the deputy director, because he helped me gather the necessary funds to discuss pronometry . (Applause) A round of applause for the alternative representative mother of Montevella and for the secretary, Mr. Alfredo Belmán. A round of applause for him. And then the alternative father or alternative mother would be Alejandra Ruiz. A round of applause for her. also. So, the two positions we had vacant were that of parliamentarian and that of secretary, but if there is and we have an alternative parent position in case someone
059from here is not here, then Alejandra would be the one to cast the vote for that position. So, these are our new representatives, so thank you very much for your interest and another round of applause for them. A reminder to the principals, please, if you haven't read your because I know you sent it late on Friday, if you haven't completed or given or put the new name of your father or mother who are representing Gila, that in your school, please, ready, on platform, please. And then today there is also a list of different schedules to train your secretaries, the office staff and you, where Rosel Quintero and Flora Gómez will come to each school and train you, right? so that they can see what the process is that they have to do, if they arrive
060at their school, and what the protocol is that we are going to follow. So please complete that because the first training session starts next week, so it's very important that you have it on. Okay. Thank you so much, and congratulations once again. Thank you all so much for being here today. See you at our next meeting. It will take place on February 24th, which will be a Tuesday, and we're going to have a full table. I'm excited. Thank you so much. And this luck in his school council meetings. Please ask your questions. Sign up for what's available . We also have more of the red cards available with Olivia. Okay, so please, if you'd like to share this in your schools, remember what we talked about and have those talks with the parents and Dus
061there.
