007please submit yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin hi good evening board members um i did see that the state has required all schools to provide the parents the choice to have independent studies i just want to know a little bit more information on this i know that we as parents haven't gotten really much information on scheduling is it full time i know that everything is changing right now with this whole new delta variant and we are required to fully mask my questions for independent study will this be a teacher and will there be logging on zoom or will they just be taking a packet um i'm sure that you guys will be answering all these questions i just want to make sure that if this is offered how the grading skill will
008be for these students versus the students that are going back to school and we could just um have a little bit more communication on that because a lot of us parents are still we're almost two weeks from going back to school and we really know little to nothing on what's going on with our schools and i would appreciate um i've been asked this a lot what's going on a little bit more clarity i understand that everything's changing so i'm just asking on behalf of a lot of parents that are contacting me just for more clarity on the return of schools and independent study thank you our next speaker is miss jessica libodi miss lavodi you have two minutes please submit yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin hi um i'm i'm making a
009comment in regards also to independent study as teachers don't know um and that we ask to make sure that we have separate teachers for these independent study students and that we hire specific independent study teachers for each grade level i think if it's per school that puts a lot on the independent teacher to teach all grade levels um and that it's not again put on the teacher to figure out the independent study students as well in regards to also having their in-person class um so when you do put this motion forward to make sure that we negotiate with area on what that looks like and to make sure that there is specific district office positions that teach the independent study students um and then it's one teacher per grade level um not a teacher per
010school site and uh yeah thank you thank you miss libordi our next speaker is miss adrian bain miss vayne you have two minutes please submit yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin um hello i am a teacher at joseph george middle school and um i'm also concerned as far as the workload that this could put on teachers because it would require two different types of grading both for live students and students on independent study and it also requires time to create those independent study packets that you know you don't want i i take pride in my work and i don't want to have give students who are doing independent study work that isn't going to do anything for them and so that requires me sort of essentially teaching double because i would have
011to not only grade this independent studies differently and uh but also you know take my time to create these packets um and i i know that this is something that we uh all we have to do it's brought by the state but please consider talking to aria to make sure that this burden doesn't fall on the teachers without some sort of compensation that's all i'm asking is you know i i'm aware if i have to do it but i would like some sort of compensation or something to be negotiated for these uh independent learning opportunities for students who may not feel comfortable coming to school and please just i would hope you would keep that in in consideration thank you very much thank you miss vayne madam president at this time we have no more
012speakers thank you so much jose and speakers uh so now we just keep it open uh renee i see your hand up i see one hand up there miss sandra rivera i'm sorry we might have missed it sandra rivera there's an additional speaker okay thank you um uh jose can you help us see that and then uh please make sure if you're speaking on this item raise your hand otherwise when we move forward um we'll move forward i know it's kind of hard to do it by zoom and uh sometimes you know we're doing something and then click so i'm glad we were able to catch sandra um jose can you help us with that yes mr rivera you have two minutes please send me yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin thank
013you so much my name is sandra rivera i'm the area vice president and i'm also a teacher here in the district for the last 16 years in regards to this item we understand as teachers moving forward that we need to make special accommodations and we come before you tonight to make sure that you keep those in the front lines in with those special considerations for us as well instead of hiring one teacher per school site in an elementary school they could have seven different grade levels and so we're asking that we hire specific independent studies teacher for each grade level and make that possibly a district office located um position or a different off district office job so then if that way those two teachers would like to collaborate they can work together and do
014what is in the best interest for our students we're also asking that as we look at this lowering class size for the independence and for in-person work while we go back to make it so that we give our students the best possible start to this unprecedented times and coming back into teaching as well for the kinders and tks we're asking that you look at that as well and see that maybe there's a possible mou to do with the district and the area to make it so that the teachers doing the give and get have the same time in the classroom but don't have the cross-contamination of the students and so working that into the independent study as well so that the time is the same for the person in person and um independent study so
015please we're here we're wanting to talk to you please consult area and keep the teachers and students best interests thank you do we have sorry do we have other speakers uh maybe raise their hand um and since do we have any others yes madam president we have two more speakers our next speaker is miss vilsa gonzalez ms gonzalez you have two minutes please unmute yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin good evening members of the board my name is ilsa gonzalez i am a community organizer but i am also a parent of two allenbrook students i know that today we're the board is it's talking over um about policy of independent studies but i do have to agree with teachers and the public speakers that um we're over two weeks of returning two
016to three weeks to returning to schools and based on a last time hold on i was i heard a lot of parents worry about the amount of students are going to be inside a classroom we're talking around 33 to 35 students we also acknowledge that the district has sent a form asking if we wanted independent studies or we wanted our kids to return to to the campuses but once we filled out that form or parents finish filling out that form it didn't specified if we if that was gonna happen or not so there is a lot of questions on the air about safety about how we're gonna maintain our students and our teachers health as a priority and how we're going to be able to ensure that students with going back to to schools don't
017feel that this is something that doesn't feel that we could go and be our normal cells we know a lot of our students are not vaccinated and we need to think about our younger ones that cannot receive that vaccine yet so um as a mother and as a community member i will ask for the boards and for the staff to actually start thinking about this and maybe having a community town hall or community meeting before the school classes start so we could make sure to alleviate some of these questions and to also ensure our parents and our staff um that this is gonna be a safe return and our our kids and their education are priority like you guys have always done thank you have a really good evening thank you ms gonzalez our next
018speaker is miss veronica ms veronica you have two minutes please submit yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin great thank you and i'm also here as the previous reporter and the previous um public commenters were speaking about um not knowing what's happening um and it's really frustrating right it's um especially for those of us that have the whole different jobs or that are now you know returning back to work as well and not knowing how my children i have to accommodate them or what's going to happen or you know like one thing is thinking about how am i going to make ends meet and another one how am i going to have my children being taken care of right when i the school hasn't given me anything um and so i do feel
019that frustration as a parent and i feel for the teachers not knowing what is happening and we're often saying about how you know we appreciate our teachers and we appreciate them and um over the years we've lost so many good teachers and i mean we saw the data um of how many new teachers are entering which is great we have new teachers but what's happening to our teachers that were there before right they're leaving because we're not providing them with the essentials knowing the information um they're going back to work in two weeks because i believe they go one week before our children and they still have zero information so it's again they also have children and family that they need to care for so i really hope that we take this into consideration and
020that we get more information and like they said many of the parents this survey was done through parents where many of the parents i learned that don't have parents were right i knew but again i was in the last forum i was in some parents said i don't have parents where how am i supposed to fill it out so please make sure that you get to those parents that don't have that that connection thank you thank you thank you ms veronica madam president at this time we have no more speakers okay thank you so much let's say uh so now we're going to go ahead and close the hearing and go on to item 202. wait second reading requirement for board bylaw 931 oh and approve amended board policy 6158 independent study i'll go ahead
021and mute myself in case mr fam is rushing to hit that enemy button in the meantime okay okay so uh for purposes discussion i'll move to wave second reading a second okay motion by trusty fam and second by vice president quintero uh we'll go ahead and open it up well i'm going to go ahead and read um the specifics and then i'll open it up for public comment and then go from there assembly bill 130 signed by government governor newson into law on july 9 2021 imposes new independent studies options and requirements on public school districts ab-130 requires that the governing board adopts policies implementing the new statutory requirements per board by bylaw 9310 board policies are typically reviewed and adopted through a two reading process board bylaw 9310 also provides however that the board
022may waive a second reading or may require an additional reading if necessary because of the need to adopt the policy changes immediately in advance of the new school year and to inform parents of the independent study options and requirements right away the board is requested to waive the second reading requirement for bylaw 9310 and to approve amended board policy 6158 as presented so at this time i'm going to go ahead and open it up for public comment and then come to trustee's questions comments or concerns jose can you help us with the public comment and anyone wishing to provide public comment on this item please raise your hand yes madam president at this time we have no public speakers i'll wait a couple seconds in case people change your mind and before we go i
023do see uh board vice president quintero's hand up do you have a comment or question or concern at this time yeah if we're moving to board uh comments and uh i'd like to ask general counsel some questions regarding the the um oh you know what i'll wait we're on the waving the second reading correct yes waving the second reading and so um all right sorry about that i'll just wait until we get to the actual item okay um and then we'll come back to the public comment jose do we have anybody that raised their hand yes madam president we have one speaker ms brenda sendejas mesendejas you have two minutes please submit yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin hi um good evening board members my name is brenda sindejas a parent of
024two kids here in illinois school district i did have a question on this i just wanted to ask the board if elem rock school district has ever offered independent study because i don't know what the template that you guys will be using i know this will be brand new or i don't know if you guys have offered this before so my concern is if this is brand new structure how will this be implemented in two weeks i want to make sure that these kids get equitable education even the ones that decide to stay at home i want to ensure that our teachers are now burned out overworked and have to do two grading because of this because maybe as a district we need to prepare ourselves a little bit better this pandemic is now brand
025new it's been more than a year and now we're going to wave two possibly so there always need to be a plan b and i really hope that alan mark has had a plan b other districts have offered independent studies in the past and um i know they have a template to go by i'm just worried about alarm rock school district i know it's doable i'm not saying it's impossible i'm just i'm being realistic on the time that we have right now on how we're going to ensure that these kids get the education they deserve at home as well thank you miss index uh madam president at this time we have no more speakers thank you and uh just coming back to vice president quintero's question earlier um vice president we are um not only
026waiving but also um approving the amended board policy for independent studies at this time so if you have any questions to counsel yeah at this point uh if we can go ahead and clarify to the public that this wasn't some sort of a an idea that we conjured up as a board and said let's go ahead and develop independent studies two weeks before we start school um then in fact um this was laid upon us by governor gavin newsom's signature of recent legislation that now requires us to move forward with uh these changes in our policies am i correct in that uh in the way i'm interpreting things happening uh matt through mata president uh general counsel can you answer that general counsel yes good evening board uh that's absolutely correct so that the the
027language of the uh of the new law ab-130 actually wasn't generally released as part of the trailer bill until i believe july 5th which was on a holiday and the governor signed it on july 9th and there was not a lot of fanfare or distribution of the information so school districts didn't were really and all the educational community was really caught by surprise on this issue in terms of how quickly it went through the legislature and to the governor for signature and even though many school districts including alan rock have had an independent studies program ab130 imposes new requirements on school districts in terms of the structure of the program what is required of the program notification to parents synchronous uh instruction asynchronous instruction live interaction and so i know that the administration has been
028working very hard in putting together a program that meets all of the requirements of the bill again which was just only very recently passed and released thank you uh i do see min bam's uh hand up trusty pen ah okay where is it uh no trouble with the mute button there uh so based upon uh the advice just provided by general counsel and i uh questioned to uh the superintendent uh just to clarify for the public this is basically a a new and different form of independence study our district i i believe that our district has had an independent study for certain special cases in the past but i wanted to make clear to the community that this this independent study is a different a different animal which is mandate which has been recently mandated
029by the state so this is you know to make it clear to community that our that our district has had experience with independent study but this is a new version independent study very recently mandated by state law may i answer madame the answer is yes thank you trusty fam the answer is yes this is significantly different so that is why we need to retool we have plenty of every district in california has to provide independent study we are very familiar with that format that's why the by-law needs to be amended because you are we the the state is asking the board to put that kind of on on the side and saying you have to approve this new kind of independent study thank you do we have any other questions comments concerns from the board
030okay and then just also um clarifying that uh as soon as it was into law and dr bauer you got it although you i'm sure you have great ideas in place um along with the administration who's been working hard part of it was today's meeting special board meeting to get things approved to get things going and so i understand the frustration from the parents you know i hear them i hear your concerns from the teachers i hear them um and unfortunately you know we're all frustrated in this together um less than a month ago none of us knew that we would be talking about this um actually 20 days ago right um it came into law july 9th and here we are july 29th so doing um as best as we can with the timing
031that we have to make sure that we get the information out to our parents as soon as possible and doing as much as we can without obviously making movements um without board approval as a mother i did get the uh the survey um so thank you i'm also hearing the parent in regards to feedback you know to making it available thank you very much um you know i think very valid points so if we depending on the response that we get you know we make those available um through the schools or however best we can do that um i think that's very valid feedback to make sure that we get um the opportunity give the opportunity to every parent if that's something that they want or need um so with that if i don't see
032any other questions or comments i'll go ahead and take it to a vote okay see none i'll go ahead and call you on my stream as i see you trusty pam hi trustee chubb thank you trustee chavez hi vice president gupto i and myself i um and ernesto is absent all right moving on to item 203 wave second reading requirement per board bylaw 9310 and approve amended board policy 5123 what board president may ask a question yes please so i'm sorry i might have missed something but i i understood member fam's motion only as to the waiver of the second reading requirement not as to include the approval of the amended policy as presented i just want to make sure we have a clear record because this will be part of the audit uh in
033the state for apportionment purposes thank you uh trust uh council um maribel can you let us know what you have trusty fam made a motion to approve the item on uh purposes of discussion that's what he said for purposes of discussion [Music] do we need to then go through the entire process again just take the vote have the motion in the second and then take the vote on the approval of the amended policy please okay trustee femme do you want to restate your emotion uh so uh the men the motion to uh waive both the second reading on item 2.02 and uh to approve item 2.02 as as presented secondary concurs okay thank you and so now i'll take the vote on that motion correct counsel okay so justin hi chavez hi vice president quintero

035last grade level including notifications to parents of their rights and opportunities under the new law heard board by law 9310 board policies are typically renewed and adopted through a two reading process or bylaw 9310 also provides however that the board may wait the second reading or may require an additional reading if necessary because of the need to adopt the policy changes immediately in advance of the new school year and to inform parents of the options they may wish to consider for their students a board is requested to waive a second reading requirement per bylaw 9310 and to approve amended board policy 5123 as presented jose do we have any members of the public wishing to address support on this item before we do i do see dr bauer raising her hand there was there was
036a type of madam president i think we missed it on this one it should read um ab104 not 101. i just want to make sure that the public knows that about the typo we corrected it online but you know sometimes even my paper copy um you know so i just want to make sure that we are clear so that we can go to the process yes thank you i did print this uh a few days ago when we got it so that i can study it so i didn't print the updated one thank you um so yes bill 104 thank you dr bauer for that jose do we have any members of the public wishing to address the board at this time yes madam president we have two speakers first speaker is miss brenda sendejas
037mesendejas you have two minutes please submit yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin evening board members um i just had a comment about this i know that last year the stress of so many students with their grades uh parents were burned out you know and i honestly don't i didn't think that we should have gave any student a grade because i think that it's not their fault they went through something that no one has ever gone through and i would call them all champions and i wouldn't have ever put a grade next to their name um so on that part you know i just want to say to any student or any parent don't be discouraged by your student's grade whatever happened last year i wouldn't even count it to my own kids
038so that being said i know this is to retain students for their grades if parents choose to with the written letter but i just want to say that i don't think that it's fair for any student or any teacher to have graded a student with what we were going through mentally a lot of teachers were going through a lot um even our kids anxiety as a parent myself i dealt with it through my son and i can imagine how parents with multiple kids and full-time working how they were handling it so just want to say to every parent any teacher don't be discouraged if your kid was failing or seemed like they were failing because that grade doesn't determine your students capacity and every student learns at a different pace thank you miss our next
039speaker is miss jessica libody miss livoti you have two minutes please unmute yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin yeah i just have a quick question about this bill um from a teaching perspective um which will probably be cleared up after the discussion um is this stating that a parent can request retention and then we as educators would have a discussion about it or it would be the parents right to allow their child to be retained um i just have a lot of questions about the bill in regards to you know just the class structure and you know three weeks from now um on top of everything else what this bill actually is stating i'm reading through it um and it's it's kind of a little bit vague so i was just wondering
040what this will look like in the fall if the parents feel like oh he wants to let's give the kid another year in second grade they can do that or no um so yeah i just had a couple questions about that and what that would look like from the teaching side is that our class roster would look uh would be evolut you know changing um anyway that's that's my questions thank you thank you miss lavodi our next speaker is miss dilsa gonzalez ms gonzalez you have two minutes please submit yourself when you begin speaking the timer will begin hello good evening once again um i just have kind of like a feedback recommendations for the board and for the staff and i saw in the last sentence where it says um to inform parents um
041can we do a series of workshops maybe the different schools that we have to let parents and and staff actually know what they this means right either if we choose to retain promote or um accelerate and when we talk about their grades um so we could have a better understanding of the build and and what this means for our students future and i could see that we have teachers and parents wondering a lot about that too and having those same questions um just have feedback recommendations let's start doing these workshops i know that it will help a lot of parents understand a little bit more about their children education and their rights as parents as well thank you have a really good evening thank you ms gonzalez madam president at this time we have uh
042no more speakers thank you thank you speakers thank you jose um at this time i would like to open it up to the trustees for any questions comments concerns trusty fam yes uh also mine's a two-part so the first part will be to uh through you question to general counsel so the way i'm reading this and mind you i have a graduate degree in education and my job is a guidance counselor at a college so uh to to mr ruiz my understanding is that a parent would be able to initial request their teacher uh the possib retention of their child if they um it if they meet or say if they fail to or i shouldn't say hey but if they do not need adequate progress for their grade level so one part of it
043was for example uh one of the trip wires was receiving three f's in a um on under academic report card and this would allow a parent to request and initiate that that process if their child receives two apps or you know or the equivalent in the elementary grades am i correct mr ruiz so they could still request it um but and this goes to i believe one of the questions raised by the public speakers is the stat what the statute does not do is it does not give the right to the or yet does not vest a right in the parents to have their child retained to repeat a school grade what it does do is it engages a process of consultation and communication between the staff and the parents or the guardian to determine
044where some learning loss might have occurred and what would be the in the best interest of the child whether it would be to repeat the grade or whether there were some possible interventions or other additional educational services that could be used to bring to elevate the child up to where they would have been otherwise so i i think the answer to your question is that that's correct it's not it's not mandatory okay and uh through the president question to superintendent bower uh you know in a in a nutshell could you uh could you explain the retention process so that we have a better understanding uh which or that so we can give the community a better understanding of what what retention entails please answer them so it's kind i'm gonna echo what rogelio just said
045this is about a consultation process this is not an automatic the parent request and we have to grant it and i i those are the kinds of things that we will be informing our public once this becomes board policy we are not able as staff to go out and engage in these conversations of information until this is legally the the law of the district and that's what you're doing tonight and that is why it's so important to have the meeting today so that we are able to immediately begin the process for both of these board policies so um we go back to what is best for the child right and so that is once the parent if the parent chooses to do that because that's that's what the board policy says right a parent under
046these conditions is able to petition then the teacher in an administrator is going to be involved in the consultation process to assess what is the best thing for the child and at the end the administration the district determines whether or not this is really the best for the child always in consultation with the family always considering teacher input so it's just a more robust and clearly delineated process than we had in the past thank you any other questions or comments from trustees before i asked to clarify anything okay see no hands uh counsel can you just um and uh forgive me for just purposes of repeating to ensure that i'm understanding correctly um if you can you know help me out and make sure that i'm understanding it as is so on july 1st governor
047newson signed this into law and it imposes new options so imposes means that the state is telling us what to do we're updating our policies to reflect exactly what the state is mandating us and posing us to do um and in this case it's specific to the promotion acceleration retention and they gave us guidelines of how to then do that is that correct that that's correct and and there in addition to the guidelines there are timelines within the statute within which the district has to respond to the parent within which the consultation has to occur and within which the district has to make a final determination these are all new elements and concepts that are being added to your policy and because of the legislation okay thank you so much i know for me i
048asked dr bauer many many times you know something again that was strung on you know policies there's ones that we know it's been over years we just update them these we had to do very specific updates we had to make sure that they match the state um you know with something again that we've never done before because we've never been after a pandemic and so um again i understand the parents frustrations the teachers know that we're working with what we have taken step by step you know to after this i'm sure dr bauer you know is going to go to sleep thinking of what the next step is after the board approves today um and so yes uh i know we're all working and thank you dr bauer for mentioning that right for the best
049outcomes for all of our children some of us had a hard time i know my daughter did um you know some of our children were able to you know cruise right through and you know whatever that looks like that we're able to think of all of our children and their specific needs so with that um i'm gonna go ahead and call oh i do see trusted chavez stand up trustee travis you have something to add yeah i want to add something so on the board policy 5123 on the second to the last paragraph it says and i just want the parents to understand this regardless of whether an eligible student is retained after the consultation the student must be offered supplemental interventions and supports outlined in education code 4352 43 25 and this is actually
050a good thing because if the student needs help this allows for extra help um so it's up to the family the student the the teacher but this is putting things in place to help the students so that's all thank you thank you for pointing that out trustee chavez and yes you know uh there was a time where i was feeling bad as a mom like what am i doing wrong and then i just had to you know re-gather myself and like one of the speakers say it's it's not me it's not the school you know none of us have gone through a pandemic and um you know at least for my daughter she's she loves learning and playing and doing and class so um i know that you know distance learning really affected a lot
051of our children so yes it's not a reflection of our kids it's not a reflection of our teachers it's not a reflection of parents you know we're all just doing um the best we have you know we we can with what we have and even at work you know some of us adults are having a hard time at home you know it's been a tough now going to be two years soon so thank you all um at this time i'm going to go ahead and call for the vote uh and i'll call your name as i see you on the screen trustee fam aye trustee chavez hi vice president quintero hi and myself i uh andres i'm sorry ernesto is out absent today um thank you very much i am adjourning the meeting at 6
05221 pm thank you
