Um 3A presentation 225 results on local indicators. State dashboard deputy superintendent Monica Anzo. Good evening, President Garcia, board of trustees, uh, committee and cabinet. I am Monica Ano, deputy superintendent, and tonight I will be presenting on the local indicators. And as Mr. Clementes bringing up the presentation, I'll just
004give an a brief overview. This is a requirement from the state. We have to present on our local indicators. Um, the LCFF has certain requirements when they have eight priorities. So they collect some of the the the data through state issued assessments. So ESPback, LPAC, they collect that data. And so that meets some of our priorities. We we have presented to to you. Um LA last time we met, we did through our LCAP. We also did some through our dashboard. Today's what the presentation is what they usually don't collect data on, but they want information on. So that's why they're local indicators and they provide a a state approved tool so that we can selfassess on on this information. Okay. So that's just a brief overview of what it is. You do it. Okay. Thank
005you, Mr. Clement. Okay. The next slide, please. And this is the background that I just explained. So we'll go on to the next slide. So the first priority that we are um presenting information on is um assigned teachers, appropriately assigned teachers, access to curriculum aligned instructional materials and safe and clean and functional school facilities. So we're presenting in an in a percentage. So if you look at our missed assignments of teachers of English learners, total mis assignments in vacant teacher positions, 0%. A percentage of students without access to their own copies of standards align instructional materials for the use at school and at home, it's also a 0%. And then a number of um of identified instances where facilities do not meet the good repair standard, including deficiencies and extreme deficiencies, is also a 0%.
006So this information is gathered through Williams inspections that happen annually and then quarterly if it we have any Williams complaints and it's also from our SARC. So our SARC is our school accountability report card. The second priority is the self-reflection tool for the implementation of state academic standards. So the first part here is looking at our our teachers teaching a re using recently adopted academic standards and curriculum frameworks. There is a rating that the state has provided. One is the lowest exploration and research phase and then five full implementation. So if you can see all our content areas, we have English language arts, English language development, mathematics, next generation science standards, history and social studies. So um most of our we have a fives. We did score ourselves a four in math just because we
007know that we need uh support our teachers and our students in the area of math. Next slide. Okay, this second part is do we have the aligned curriculum for the content areas? So we do we have brought them forward uh for state um board adoption. So we are aligned with our state adopted curriculum in all content areas. So we have a five in in in each one. to the next one. This next one is u identifying areas where we can improve in delivering instruction aligned to the recently adopted um identified below. So we have our PLC so through our collaborations we have walkthroughs that our principles district staff does in the classrooms um and then teacher feedback. So again all fives yet and we are aware that we do need support in math. Okay then
008next slide. And then this is uh this this part is engaging in following activities with teachers and school administrators during the prior school year including summer um preceding the summer school year. So this is identifying the needs of our teachers. So we do this through our LCAP. We ask our teachers what they still feel they need. excuse me, through our LCAP survey. What do they need help with? What do they need support with? Where do they want to uh receive professional development? So, we have a process for that. So, we are in full implementation and sustainability. The next one, so this is priority three, family engagement. This one is building relationships. So how is the district uh building current um relationships and in progress and how do we identify the areas of improvement? So for
009this we also have our parent survey that we do for LCAP. And then in addition to that this we've ended the year now with a full team. Hopefully tonight we find our 12th community school coordinator. Um but we have a full team of community school coordinators and in the process of having a full team of parent ed specialists that will be supporting our sites with um this area. Okay. The next one building partnerships for partnerships for student outcomes. again uh force we know that our parents want uh to build a stronger relationship with us. So this is why we have the for and making sure our teachers are also find every opportunity to how do they build relationships in in addition to um their parent teacher conferences. What other activities are we having at schools?
010What are the principles uh doing in order to engage our parents? Okay, the next one. So seeking input for decision making. This one we have our process that again our LCAP is our biggest uh input uh process that we have. So we ensure that our parents have surveys that we have our community meetings to give input into through the for the LCAP our we have them at sites. We have them at the district level. That's one um setting. We also have them through DACA and DAC. our um sites have their school site councils and then we are also in the process one of the requirements for our community schools is for our community schools to have a community school council or advisory team. So the our our coordinators are in the process of creating that
011as well. Priority six is school climate. This one we are using our surveys. We have this um specific questions for our parents and our on how they they feel their school climate is. So these are some samples. The very first one is 93% of our parents reported they are aware counselor is available to support if needed. Second one is 94 of our parents 94% of our parents reported that they feel welcome to participate in their child's instruction. And then 92% of our teachers reported they are aware of how to support social emotional needs. The next one and then priority seven is access to a broad course of study. Okay, next slide. So this again we use um what are our our students are enrolled in each class. We have a 100% of our students who
012are enrolled and instructed in the program chosen by parents. So English only, structured English only, one way dual immersion and newcomers. Those are the programs that instructional programs that we have in Alisad. And then 100% of our students had access to instructional time. Then all schools provided the intervention to students to address the needs determined by staff during student study teams, cost, which is a coordination of support team um meetings and or IEP 504 planning meetings. And that's it. That's the local priorities that we'll be reporting to the state. Any questions? Mr. Okmpo, we'll start off with you. Miss Vera. Yes. Thank you. Thank you for that information, Mrs. Anzo. Um, on under priority one, it talks about misassignments by teachers. Yes. Could you elaborate a little bit more what a mis assignment is? So
013we can we might have a teacher that has doesn't have the right credential for the to teach the program and that could be a mis assignment. So we didn't have any unqualified teachers last year. Is that just for eels or just across across the district? So we didn't have teachers that had to leave at the middle of the year because they didn't have their credential anything like that. I recall something like that. So when they're in the classroom, they if um they have the proper credential to be in the classroom up to a certain point, then if we had left them in the classroom without a credential, then that would have been a mis assignment and we didn't have any mis assignments. No. Nor in sped in sped. So again, if this is not sped,
014no, this includes sped. Okay. So if we have a teacher and I know Mr. Lopez is here, he he's the a credential expert. So, if we have a teacher, I I'm on a special permit. So, I have a credential and I'm on a special permit. I'm still qualified under that credential to teach in the class. Let's say that it expires in the middle of the school year. If the district leaves me there without even that permit, then it's a mis assignment because now I don't have I don't have permission or license to teach. Okay? So the district takes care of those who come to a certain point and then no longer qualify for them to go qualify because I know we had some come back. Yes. Oh, I see. Okay. I thought it meant we
015didn't have any like that. No. No. I recall some. And we have a team of experts in HR that are on our sorry to say that word, but like after our teachers, you're missing this assignment. We make sure you are and they're they're very supportive to where they can be supportive in finding the right classes, making sure they have the uh right credential, reminding them that it's going to expire. We need to support you. How do we support you? So we we do what we can to support our our teachers so that they get the proper credential. Thank you. So then in looking at this measuring tool because that's what this is, right? Yes. But we're measuring ourselves, right? Yes. Yes. But but who is doing that? Who is giving us almost fives and everything?
016I mean, this is great. I'm not saying I don't believe it. I don't want to be spec skeptical about it, but I think there was only a couple of instances where we were poor. So, is that what usually happens? I mean, you grade we're grading ourselves and we're giving ourselves the greatest. Is it because we're great or who who's the team that did this checking? I'm not sure. So, yes, we're great. Pardon me? Yes, we're great. Oh, okay. Okay, good. I can't say we're not. No, it so it is because they are local indicators. The state has provided the tool for us to use it, right? And so, they have different for example, we were talking about the credentials if there's a complaint. Williams is a state um initiative in where if there are complaints
017if we don't have standard adopted material in the classroom anyone whoever is in that classroom can file a complaint a Williams complaint that would have to come to the board and saying we have we don't have the proper curriculum in the classroom and you would see that so we get quarterly reports that we have to report if there's any kind of concern reported any any complaint any Williams complaint and we bring it to the board. So that's just an example of how we can look at Miss Simons we can look at facilities because even with facilities there's an inspection that we do every year at the beginning of the uh the school year that has to be reported to MCOE and they they report it to the state. Then we have quarterly reports. So that
018addresses the miss assignments that addresses the um the facilities and curriculum. Our curriculum we know with standard space we are using standards. So there's another priority there that talks about are we using the the standards and the frameworks that our state adopted. So yes we are. So we know that that's happening that's verified by the principles. It's verifi verified even by our local assessments our learning walks. So those are just examples of the verification that we can't just give ourselves straight vibes because it it it goes and and that was like my next question. So all of this information then is incorporated to the dashboard. Yes. Right. So kind of how does that work? It just you you report to the state. So we report it and they have several questions and answer and they're
019asking um an a narrative. So, Miss Beal is the one that goes in and she completes the narratives based on the evidence that we have. Okay. Thank you. And then my last question, um, uh, on family engagement priority three, building relationships. Um, why aren't we fives there? And that's because our we listen to our parents and sometimes there's instances where our parents feel our relationships are not that strong, right? And so we want them we want our parents to be satisfied. And if we look even though they're at 90 if we look at um and I would have to bring the survey and maybe some samples of it or send it the LCAP survey. We want to make sure we're in the high 90s. We want to make sure our parents are satisfied with the
020relationship that we have. A four is not bad. It's still full implementation, but we want them to feel that they are a voice and sometimes they don't feel that. And So would you say that that's something that we it's not a big area for improvement because I know we have a lot of parents that come and are very happy as what's going on in the district and I would say most of our parents with my experience anyways um so it's just something that um it'd be nice to see there maybe next year. So this is done once a year at the LCF. Yes. And and so connected to the LCAP and the parents are very involved in the LCAP which is and we should see the that change with our having our community school coordinators.
021You know parent needs to feel the trust. They need to feel they know somebody and and they trust them. Having a community school coordinator or parent leazison that's a that was a huge piece that was missing at our schools. Our principles are really they're super busy with everything else we're asking them to do. So yes, they lead the parent engagement, but then they have a a partner and that partner is is going is embracing this. If um maybe we can bring them in, they can do some a presentation or you can meet all of them. We have maybe open houses while we go come back from the school um to the school year and they have open houses at their community rooms. But for example, they're here working this summer. Each of our community rooms
022are open for our parents to come in during this the school year. So, it's not just the family resource centers, but now also our community rooms. Thank you. Thank you for that information. Thank you, Miss Garcia. Miss Pettis. No. Okay. Well, I did also I think actually Mrs. Yelp Vera kind of touched a little bit about I was just going to comment about family engagement piece. Um, yeah, we've heard a lot sometimes from parents. Yeah. And I think I think one of the things that I would like to see and I don't know if my fellow board members agree or not, but um to have a I think at one point we got we understood that ELAC was being folded into the schoolside council. And I understand that sometimes parents aren't able to come forward
023and and want to volunteer to be the president, want to volunteer to be the secretary, want to volunte because there's so many English learners in our campuses. It's like we should totally have a separate ELAC and a school site council, not folded in. I just I don't see how that could be like the custom, you know, and um so I mean I would like to see an ELAC in every single school because you're supposed to have one after 20 kids, right? 28 English learners and you form an ELAC. I understand too that you can legally fold it into the school site council if they vote on it, but I mean I feel like wow that that's a missed opportunity for us to engage our English learner parents and so hopefully maybe this next year that'll
024be some kind of a priority for us but yeah fours are great. So I and this is probably an area of improvement for all of us. So thank you for the this wonderful presentation you put together for us tonight. Thank you. Okay, moving along. We are now on item four uh board member or superintendent reports. Um Miss Kaspar just briefly I wanted to welcome uh Dr. um Clara Fernandez who's in the audience, Mrs. Zanzo, who's here with us, our new attorney who's here with us. Um, girl power. We have some really smart male power in the house, too, with Mr. Okampo, Mr. Himemenz, and Mr. Abasi. But definitely uh a great I mean, I feel good about the direction that the district is taking with all the smarts that we have in in the room.
025So, thank you for joining us and we're going to get some good HR people, too. And so, I think that we're we're going far. LSL strong. Thank you. That's it. Miss Bettis. Um, Mr. Bumble. Yeah. Just uh wanted to say that on the 18th of June uh sorry I attended a press conference uh organized by uh Mon County Supervisor Luis Luis Allejo. U the conference was to show solidarity for our im immigrant families in uh a tri county area Monterey Samonito and Santa Cru Santa Cruz County. It was really well attendant attended. Your husband was there. Mr. Butter was also there. But uh the press conference was attended by about 30 about 30 plus leaders from the trike county area. Uh we had union leaders, school administrators, we had hospital administrators and three and the
026three sheriffs from the Tri County area were also were also present. um and they all spoke about uh the need to to help our immigrant families uh here in Monterey County given the uh situation that we're in right now with ICE being kind of um on steroids I guess you know uh our immigrant families are are not fairing well uh obviously as we all know be because of that now Supervisor Chris Lopez talked about the need to pass uh compreh comprehensive immigration reform uh which has been discussed over and over and hopefully someday uh that will happen. You know, we can we can only hope. Uh the three sheriffs uh reinforce that uh the idea that uh uh the sheriffs and the police, our local police do not enforce immigration laws. In other words, they
027don't they don't help ICE. Instead, they remain focused on on public safety. I think one of the the nicest kind of uh presentations was giving given by our county superintendent of schools which is Denise Denise Gus. Uh and uh I'm going to read what she said. So if you'll bear with me, this is uh this is a direct quote. This is what what Denise said. She said sorry. She said, "I am a strong believer that schools must always remain safe places of safety and not fear. The presence of immigration and customs enforcement officers near campuses sends shock waves of anxiety through families and districts from what should be every child's right, and that is to learn, to grow, and to thrive in peace. I join colleagues in Los Angeles and beyond on calling ICE to
028immediately end these intimidation tactics that cause harm to honest, hardworking members of of our communities. So this this was uh what our superintendent of schools her statement uh at at the conference. I think it was very well said. I think it was it was uh an excellent statement. So So with this in mind, I would like to direct direct our staff to begin exploring how we can serve our undocumented uh students uh and parents, how we can serve them better. And some suggest some suggestions that I came up with could be that that one possibility the board could could adapt adopt and pass a resolution supporting our immigrant parents and students. Uh we can put on our website a list of constitutional rights for immigrants when they are being when they are being questioned uh
029uh by ICE. And such a list is available on the website of the of the Monterey County uh on the county of Monterey, the supervisor's web page. Uh if you click on county of Monterey, know your rights, you'll you'll find that there's a list there of the of the constitutional rights for immigrants when they're when they're being questioned uh by ICE. Um, we could also, and this this is something I think that Alyssal High School did not too long ago. They actually had about 800 people that attended a workshop that they gave at Alisal. And the workshop was about uh the rights of of immigrant immigrants and I believe it was it was organized through the county of Monterey and also through the Monterey College of Law. So, we could we could reach out to
030the Monterey County of Law to present workshops to our undocumented undocumented parents on their rights when they're being questioned by ICE agents. Uh we could also begin to offer targeted targeted social emotional support to our undocumented uh students, students and parents. You know, I think I think if if we look at the the sheer number of our undocumented uh people in in the area, the Public Policy Institute of California estimates that 60 62,000 undocumented workers live in Monterey and Sanino County. So, I'm sure we have our share of undocumented parents, you know, in in in our district. And uh I have not heard any anything about what's happening but I'm sure that they're going through a hard time. Uh you know I imagine I've been told that uh that some parents are not going to
031work out of fear. Uh there's a possibility of the students are not attending school because of fear of fear of deportation. Uh so I think it's a real issue. Uh I think we should join the county of Monterey uh which has which has organized the supervisors have organized an ad hoc committee on immigration rights. We should join the high school district which is doing workshops to inform immigrants of of of their rights. You know, I think that that we need to get involved and we should we should uh not put our heads in the sand that we should, you know, acknowledge that this is a problem that it's happening. Uh and we should do whatever we can to support our our immigrant uh parents. Uh so I I thought the the uh press conference was
032excellent and uh really enjoyed being there. So, I hope that we we can take some action uh in the future. Thank you. Thank you. Um Mrs. Anzel, is there anything that you'd like to report? Yes. I um actually was going to join Miss Gilas in welcoming Dr. Clara Fernandez, our our new deputy. So, like want to stand Dr. Fernandez so people know who you are. So, this is Dr. Clara Fernandez and she will be joining us July 1. So, welcome again. And um thank you. And today actually um I was interviewed by KSBW on exactly our what are we doing to support our immigrant families and how are we supporting them um making sure that they feel safe making sure that we have mental health support. So, one of the things I shared with them
033and I can share with the board create a timeline of what we have done and then what we could continue to do is I let them know that as soon as the new administration took place, our social workers um mobilized in creating or actually having a know your rights presentation for our families at Barton, which was really well attended back in January. Uh we had um Losano Smith come and do a presentation for all our leaders in um knowing what to do in case we had somebody ICE come to one of our schools. What what can we what do we do and what were the rights of our parents? We had a lot of the red cards passed out. So again, sharing that information, our team of um community school coordinators, social workers, counselors, parent
034ed specialists, our face director, Mr. Julio Castro, our PPS director, Miss Diana Garcia, uh all attended a training to create safe plans for families. So they're um they have the packets and trained to do that and are working with families if they need a plan. So we have a lot of things in motion. um maybe checking on the web our website to see if just here are some um resources and checking our community school uh page because they're the ones that are really um taking it on to support our families. But I think all of us are making sure that we want to make sure our families know that we are we do not discriminate. Children are entitled to a free education regardless of their immigration status. So, um, we can put something together and
035share it with all the board members. Thank you. Thank you. And I wasn't here last two um board meetings, but I so I want to formally congratulate Mr. Koenig on his retirement and Mr. Duran on his retirement. And of course, we welcome Miss Anzo, our new superintendent. Okay, we're moving on to item four. Oh, sorry. Uh item five, consent agenda.

Mr. Okampo, can I get a second? Second. Miss Gaspar, any comments or questions? I have a a comment if I Yes. Um, not sure. Well, I guess I'm looking at um, of course, it's a big document, of course. I guess I I I spent some time looking at at
039action item um um, oh, I'm sorry. First, in reference to goal two, two of the LCAP um, which is the um, the elevation platform. Um just wanted to say that it that it does seem it does seem uh you know very promising. Uh Elevation is a digital program that tracks language acquisition, English and provides uh teaching teaching status. Um it appears that some school sites use it use it more than other other school sites. And I know that that we are uh that we will be training um uh additional uh personnel so that we can hopefully get all of our school sites using uh the elevation digital program. So I just I just wanted to emphasize that that I do think it it's important to do that additional training and that and uh emphasize you
040know that we definitely do need to to to do it to make sure that that those people get trained. The the second uh comment that I wanted to make again again under goal two of our LCAP and this is a suggestion for next academic year 2627 because I know that every year we re we re revisit the the LCAP. uh not sure how applicable but I guess staff will let me know whether it's something that can happen or not happen but I was thinking that it would be great to consider uh adding a new metric or or action which would be to increase our enrollment in bilingual education by some agreed upon percentage I need to call a point of order or I'm confused are we already on 7A we're on a the LC cap
041R that was that's me. I fell asleep for a minute. I apologize Mr. Okamo. Thank you. Okay. Um by an agreed on percentage and current currently on enrollment in bilingual education is 39.2% which is which is I think is pretty good. You know it's almost 40% of our students are are in bilingual education classes. So I'm not saying that we're we are in any way derelic in our duties but but I'm saying that I think that I think we can improve it. I think you know somewhat um the justification would be that learning two languages enhances cognitive cognit cognitive development uh which we know that it does and also rein reinforces pride in in in Latino and Latino culture. Th those would be the recommendations and I don't I don't know if if uh you
042know this act of increasing our enrollment if it would qualify as as as a metric within within that goal. But I just I throw that out to the staff uh for their expert consideration and maybe some feedback whether that's something that we we might we might be able to do. uh and I know there's a lot of problems with with increasing our enrollment in in bilingual education but uh you know if we can get it up to 45% 50%. I think that would be good you know and and of course you know the connective development takes place only if it's really high quality bilingual education u and that's something that has to be looked at too I think you know I'm not saying that we don't have a good quality bilingual education program but I'm
043saying that that there are degrees of of of of quality in in bilingual education so so those are my comments thank you okay thank you any There comments or questions? Okay. U Mrs. Sansa, can you please call for the line vote? Yes. President Garcia, yes. Vice President Roberto Campo, uh, yes. Clerk Beatatrice Perez, yes. Trust Lupe Gilas Vera. A motion passes 40 with Mr. Himenez absent. Thank you. Moving on to item eight, human resources 88. Action item, request for new position, custodian maintenance. Can I get a motion? Motion. Miss Perez, can I get a second? Second. Miss Gil Basera and comments or questions. Mrs. Gilbasera. Yes. Thank you. Um, well, there's two positions here. A and B are al both talking about a custodian. I guess the difference with the first one on A, it's
044custodian slashmaintenance. So, I was trying to look through the agenda, but wasn't sure it'd be on page 200 or 500. I really didn't get to read the backup information because I was having a hard time with it because it's our first time. But, I'll be graceful and we'll learn together. I want to know what the difference is between both those positions because Buckhorn's not a real big place, you know, how and I wanted to know how many custodians are schools have compared to what it looks like here if both of these are approved. There's going to be two custodians and the need is probably there. I just wanted a little bit more information on that. So, the first custodian, the custodian maintenance is a full-time position. the second position. Well, we're not there yet, but
045okay. Well, I mean, I'm asking for the difference. So, the difference is that it's this one's a full-time position, and it's u they're they'll be coming in what our DECA students come in at 6:30 to make sure everything's set up and ready. Students will be eating in the classrooms. We don't have a separate cafeteria, so they're three-year-olds. So, there's a lot of more activity of little people happening in the site. And because they are coming in early to make sure everything's set up and and help during the day, um they can't close the center. So the center they the night custodian would clean up the that's why it's part time would clean up the classrooms. Oh, okay. So that's the difference. And I guess like in our old agenda which I like it used to
046tell us if they were full-time or halftime and we have to search a little bit more with this new setup, right? We well we can I think we can work on some of the wording because we're all learning, right? So I I guess I was thinking maybe this person an A was going to be working for maintenance and the school. Are they custodians or custodian maintenance? Because in addition to the custodial, they also maintain the facility. So they can clean around the weeds, they can paint, they can do other maintenance. And then the night one is just cleaning. Thank you for the explanation. Okay. Um, Miss um, Anzo, can you please take the line bolt? Yes. Uh, President Letisa Garcia, yes.

050But in reading these and the years that they pertain to and because of the negotiations and historically this board gives the same compensation to cabinet and and practically everybody even the board if I think if the board so um requests that it's a really small it's maybe 10 $15 for the board of um I I I think that we need to clarify that Mrs. Anzo is not getting something beyond what she deserves because everybody um got that in the district.

You have my permission. We will go back to item 10. Thank you. Thank you, President Garcia. Well, in talking in listening to Mr. Okmpo and before I got to the meeting, um both Miss Anzo was also mentioning the safety plans for children. I think our public information officers also very uh knowledgeable about what's going on with that. There's
059uh some elected uh Latino officials that I met with yesterday and they were talking about coming to our district and and talk and you know talking and training our parents. But it so happens that we're already doing that and a lot of the things that Mr. Okmpo mentioned were do we're doing those things that are so important. So, um either an update through the board uh through the superintendent's um update or a board presentation, but I'd like a board presentation so that we could all know, hey, we're already doing that. I mean, I maybe I should have known and and should have said it last night to these ladies because they were willing to come, but it looks like we're doing that. So, maybe a presentation on the things that are already happening in our
060district. So if approached by a community member, us board members can say, you know what, we're doing this and this and this. So I would appreciate that um uh sooner late sooner than later because it's an important one. And then also, and I'm glad the attorney's here because I I wanted to talk about so it's a it's a new we're going to have new uh people on board, especially the superintendent. At what point, and I've gone through superintendent before, so maybe it's something I should know. Do we get to talk to Mrs. on um you know what like maybe things that I would like of course I cannot give her direction um one person but what are relationships going to be like or what is it do you can we interrupt you during the day
061can we not interrupt you during the day on a phone call I mean I'm sure every superintendent has their manner but how are we going to know those do I just call her up and ask her what's it going to be like between you and I or is it something that the board is going to be consistent with and um I think this board is really good and smart about that. I don't think we ever were overbearing with Mr. Koig, but yet sometimes things came up or you do want to make a a call cuz something important happened. So, I'm asking uh the attorney with the board president's permission in what setting can we do that? I I would like to um request a presentation also on on that one since you have that information.
062Oh. Oh, okay. Sorry. Uhhuh. Thank you. That was it. We are on still on item 10A. Is there any other member that would like something added to future agenda items or presentations? Yeah. Nope.
