Uh during close session uh we were joined by our fifth trustee member, Miss Given. So now we do have all five trustees are present and were present uh
004during close session. Um in close session the board took action to place certificated employee number 3881 on suspension without pay pending dismissal and to issue a 30-day notice of dismissal current to education code section 44934. Vote was five eyes to zero nays. Point of birth that should be classified. There was Oh, correct. Uh not to place uh classified staff, not certific. Thank you. All right. And now we will move into presentations and recognitions. Uh first is Bartow High School ASP. Hi. Um, so, uh, ASB had a great year this year. Uh, we have many, uh, activities and other sorts of going on this year around this year. I have, uh, Leo Martinez here. He's a senior next year. And we have Mo. He's a junior, a junior next year. And, uh, ASB ASB has had
005a great uh, year this year. We have had many successes, but also many failures. As a team, we learned from most of the failures and plan on doing even better next year. Uh going into this year, we were very short staff students and other representatives of the school of our stuff. And going on this following next year, our numbers have double. So kids are getting more invested into the activities we're doing and people and teachers are getting more involved. And I think that's really good. Uh we had senior sunrise the start of this at the start of the year and the first weeks of school we hosted a club rush so our students know about the great clubs we have on campus. We also hosted a watering water eating contest for in December in September
006and we even had our principal participate and it was just a lovely time for everyone. We invested in a splash tower and had our very first ever so staff event. Many of our wonderful teachers and staff volunteered to get soaked in the name of fun. The sophomores participated in an annual beehive painting and probably ended up painting on themselves more than actual bee hill. Around Halloween, we had a Halloween costume contest during lunch and it was amazing and very fun. As we got close to a word, we wanted to host a special event for students to attend during lunch. So, we as came up with an ASB holiday extra extravaganza. Students can earn fun prizes by playing a number of different games and taking pictures with festive characters. Every October is a big rivalry game
007between Barstow and Victory um Victoria. So our boys dressed up as cheerleaders and the girls played flag football during our power cup powerup event. Because our football team won the Ax last year, we decided to have an axe parade and a bunny funeral this year to bring them good luck. Turns out it worked because the Aztecs won again. ASB invested heavily into lighting setups and to have better assembly. Sorry, next slide. And then our students would really comment on how our lighting is very good and how we enjoy it or how they enjoy it. I enjoy it as well. Our assemblies have very nice spectacles to look at so that way our walls and whatnot aren't as dim and dark. Um, every other Friday we would have our awesomeastic Fridays where we would nominate a
008teacher and or not we but of the students. We would send out a form and they would decide what teacher of the month we would be and we would always celebrate them and we would always have like the students come involved, the ones that are in the classroom. We wouldn't ever take any, but we would always just give them like a prize and a thank you for being such a great teacher. Um, moving on. Prom was amazing this year. A lot of students really liked it. We had it in Redlands at the Fox Beer and we've heard nothing but positive feedback. Uh, they love the food, our cookies, and how we've matched the venue with our theme of the Warren 20th. Prom next year is already booked, so that process will be in full swing
009starting next year. And speaking of next year, we're looking forward to continuing the improving of school culture on campus. We want to invest in more long-term purchases like more lighting and we want to provide more freebies for the students to get more school spirit. These are some of our ideas for next year. We want to create a haunted house in October, have seniors face off with staff in a kickball game. We want to also have a talent show, a Valentine's Day picnic, and then start a new tradition for the junior class through a kickball game and host a color run and strength. So all of our ideas and our activities go back into the school. So every fundraiser we're every fundraiser, every every food drive, every I don't know, every aspect that has to do
010with these kids are always going to be involved around them. And these new traditions like uh our splash tower, many other schools have probably been competing with us far as if they can. And um along with these activities, we're getting more invested. We're more we're getting more we're getting more exposure to these kids. We're getting more into the freedom of them being able to have more options at Barcel High School. And I think that's very amazing. And um all of our ideas are based on funding. Uh this year the students were a bit more reserved into terms of spending compared to previous years. So money was tight. DJ costs, booth costs, venue costs, and buzzing costs are our biggest are our biggest prices and stuff in those ranges. And we're hoping that for any new
011events, we can also increase our fundraising programs for next year because we want bigger and better things, new money. In the meantime, we would like to thank you for listening and we hope to see you at some of our events this year. Thank you for your time. All right. Uh, next is the outreach the presentation. Good evening everyone. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today. My name is Ruth Sandival. I serve as the outreach liaison under the school climate department at Barc Unifi. I'm here to provide a brief overview of the McKini Bento and foster you programs within Barcel unified and how working together we can ensure these students receive support the support that they need to succeed. At the heart of both Mckin Vento and foster care legislation is one goal
012ensuring that every student has ex access to a stable supportive education no matter their housing or life situation. McKenney students are those who lack fixed, regular, and adequate housing. This may mean living in shelters, motel, cars, campgrounds, or doubled up with others due to hardship. Foster youth often face disruptive schooling due to emotional trauma and frequent frequent placement changes, meaning the student and their family often move from place to place through the school year. Currently in Barstow we are serving 405 McKenna Vento students and 32 foster youth. But we know that number doesn't reflect the full need. Many families go unidentified due to stigma, lack of information or fear of speaking up. These students face serious risks. higher dropout rates, lower academic performance, chronic absenteeism, social emotional challenges, limited access to basic needs, and without
013stable housing or consistent support, it becomes difficult for them to focus on school or feel connected to their learning environment. So, why does awareness matter? Our district offers these students immediate enrollment with no documents needed, transportation to maintain school stability, access to free meals, health services, crisis support, and as the outreach leazison, I connect families with clothing, housing resources, and other essentials. One important point to highlight is that our district's local control funding formula is directly tied to our unduplicated count of students identified by the state as high need. This includes students who are homeless and foster care from low-income households or English learners. By improving outreach and identification, we increase the resources that allow us to support all students more effectively. Just as importantly, awareness reduces shame. It lets families know they're not alone
014and that we're here to help, not judge. Every adult in our district can play a role by staying informed, observant, and ready to help. I believe many more families qualify for services, but haven't yet been identified. So this year we've made important strides in supporting some of our most vulnerable students. Through partnerships with community organizations like Mojave Valley United Way, we've been able to provide weekend meals to students facing food insecurity. We also teamed up with Greater Hope Foundation to expand access to counseling for students experiencing trauma or instability. In addition, we distributed school supplies, backpacks, shoes, and clothing, ensuring students are equipped and confident when they walk into the classroom. These efforts have strengthened trust with families and remove some of everyday barriers that impact learning. While raising awareness remains our focus, we're proud
015of these steps and the collaboration that made them possible. So by working together close or by working closely together with administrators, teachers and community partners, we can raise awareness, remove barriers, and ensure students receive the stability they need. Your leadership in championing inclusive policies and sustaining vital resources, helps maintain a school environment where every student feels supported and valued. Together we can make a lasting difference in lives of students facing homelessness or foster care challenges. And if you would like to collect connect with me or learn more, my information is up top. I know it's a bit small, but my number is also there. And if you guys would like to connect with me, I'm more than willing. I'll be right here. And thank you for your time, for your continued commitment to equity and
016student success. Uh next we'll move on to business from the floor. Uh the board meeting is a business meeting of the board held in a public forum to comply with the Brown Act. It is not a town hall meeting with the board. This is the time for citizens to present problems or questions they feel the board should discuss. Individuals are encouraged to address the full board, not individual board members. The law prohibits the board from taking actions on items not on the agenda. Request to speak card should be filled out in advance and presented to the superintendent's executive assistant. Instructions for submitting remote public comments can be found on our website bsdk12.com under the tab board of trustees. The board has a policy limiting any speaker to not more than three minutes. The board limits
017the total time for public input on each item or topic to 15 minutes or five individual requests to speak. The president may review the submitted request to speak or take a poll of speakers for or against a particular issue and may ask that additional persons speak only if they have something new to add. Citizens who have comments on or against a particular issue may be asked to provide a written statement for the record or to sign an agreement with the written comments of another citizen. All names will be memorialized in minutes. With board consent, the president may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation depending on the topic and number of persons wishing to be urged. For the record, please state your name. We have any We do. We have one. Jennifer Natney
018and Katherine Hernandez would like to speak to the board about the friendly blosser. All right. Good evening members of the board. My name is Jennifer Noatne and I am here on behalf of the Friendly Flosser, a mobile dental hygiene practice committed to increasing access to preventive oral health care in underserved communities. Some of you may remember me from past outreach efforts. Our mission at the Friendly Flosser remains focused on prevention, early intervention, and education because we know healthy smiles support healthy learning. Tonight, I'd like to introduce Katherine Hernandez, a dental hygienist who works not only with the Friendly Flosser, but also at a local pediatric dental office here in town. Most importantly though, she's also a parent of a student right here in the Bars Unified School District. Catherine brings a unique and powerful perspective.
019She sees firsthand the challenges children in York community face when it comes to dental decay. and she's here to share a few words about these concerns and how we can work together to make a difference in the school district. Hi everyone. Um, so I'm Catherine and as Jennifer mentioned, I see firsthand what many of us already know. Dental decay is far too common in our community. I witness it every single day at my pediatric practice. We have we literally only have one pediatric practice in town, right? I see I feel like I see all these kids in Bar Unified School District. I witness the toll it takes on children's health, confidence, and learning every day. That is why I'm here this evening to help be a part of the solution. By partnering with B USD,
020the friendly blogger can help reduce the burden of dental disease through early intervention, prevention, and education. With your support, we can bring services directly to your campuses, making it easy and stress-free for families while ensuring students stay healthy and ready to learn. We truly believe that oral health is part of a whole child success. We're ready to collaborate, offer support, and provide a resource that uplifts both the health and well-being of your students. At the Friendly Flosser, we aim to be part of the solution by providing on-site dental ser on-site dental screenings, cleanings, fluoride varnish, and protective sealants, all conveniently delivered at school. These services are not only evidence-based, but also proven to reduce decay, improve attendance, and academic outcomes. I am proud to be part of this community. I've been part of it for
02130 years of my life. Went all through Barcelona Unified School District all my life and now I have a child here too. I am also deeply committed to helping Barst students grow up with strong healthy smiles that last a lifetime. I would love to get more information on how we can connect to bring this much needed service to the students of BD. Thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you. Uh, next is staff reports and instructional materials overview. Go over to Yeah, there have been some inquiries about the uh curriculum we use here in our district and the process that we use to select said curriculum. So, I'd like to spend a couple of minutes talking to you about what that looks like. Um on our slide deck uh you'll see that the objective
022is to review uh California content standards uh curriculum frameworks and the materials adoption cycles and timelines that we follow as prescribed by the state. Uh so what are California content standards? Uh they set expectations for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Um I think for the English language arts standards it's a book about yay big for K12 and for math it's a little smaller but it's about the same size. The number of standards that all of our students are required that we uh require our schools to follow and to ensure that students are learning what it is they need to learn. And as you know with our cast testing state testing uh that begins in third grade. However, the standards being taught at kindergarten and first grade and
023second grade are just as important because they are preparing the students for that third grade test. So, looking at our next slide, core subject content standards, uh the last time English language arts standards were adopted in the state of California was 2010. So, if you do the math there, that's about 15 years. Been a while. Uh those are the common core state standards. uh we moved away from No Child Left Behind to a more complex set of standards uh that we have now. English language development standards were brought on in 2012. Uh math standards again were in 2010 as well. History social science actually um the standards were adopted in 1998 free uh common core state standards. There are lots of reasons for that. If you ever have a chance to sit down with a
024history, social science uh teacher, you'll know they have very robust um opinions about the content they are teaching. And so at the state level, they've decided to keep the content standards that were in place as of 1998. There are however uh standards that do align with common core state standards that are attached to language arts. And then finally, the science standards were adopted in 2013. Those are called next generation science standards. So now that we have our standards, uh the state engaged in a process to create what they call frameworks. The frameworks are really um taking the standards, breaking them apart and indicating additional resources and um expectations for delivery of that content. Um it's ed code section 510002 which calls for the development of broad standards and guidelines for educational programs. Um the English
025language arts and English language development standards again were adopted in 2014. That was common core state standards. They are anticipated to be updated in 2027. What does that mean? That means uh once the frameworks are complete, they'll pull a team of people together which I'll get to in a moment and they they go through a process to develop the curriculum, the actual books, the actual stories students are going to read, the actual assessments that are going to be required. that takes time. Um, so as a district, we're keeping a close eye on that timeline so that as soon as state approved curriculum is available to us, we engage in a process. And I'll get to that part in a minute. History social science standards were adopted in 2016, a revamped version of 1998 uh curriculum
026I should say. And finally, science frameworks were adopted along with the standards in 2013. So what are the requirements of the state? The state requires that for grades kindergarten through 8th grade there are state um approved curriculum for all school. And in our district we've always uh taken that list. We pulled teams of teachers together. We've asked them to pilot the curriculum, to get into groups, to talk about what they've seen, uh to do lesson planning and research on what they think would be the best set of curriculum for their students. Um it's a very indepth process. For language arts, we're looking at probably 2026 or 2027. It's a little a little ways out. So, we're constantly trying to find ways to uh bolster and revamp the current um adoption that we have in place.
027What are the requirements? Continue on. Um the impact of instructional materials on classroom learning is is is significant and instructional materials have been shown to be an essential tool for teachers in today's classroom. Uh they serve as primary mode of access for California students to the state content standards and knowledge and skills they must master. So, if you remember in September, I always bring an item to the board that reviews the Williams Act. Uh we look at all the books that are in students classrooms. Uh there's a team that goes through every facility, the the gymnasiums, the classrooms, um common spaces, restrooms to make sure that everything's tip-top shape. And with that, they will give us a report. I bring that report to you on the eighth week of uh school and we review that.
028I'm proud to say in the last 10 years, we've always um been able to ensure that all of our students have access to the Common Core State Standards adopted curriculum. We've never fallen short of that. Um it's an very in-depth process. When we do go through our next large adoption, you're going to see there are large dollar figures attached to that. Um the last Wonders um adoption was well over a million dollars and you're talking about all our students between kindergarten and sixth grade. So, it's a large a large ticket item. When the state uh decides to bring together these experts, they have what's called a education content review team. It's made up of current teachers in in in their um subject matter, language arts teachers, math teachers, first grade teachers, second grade teachers, so
029on and so forth. Uh but they also have content review experts that are doctorates. They have doctorates in their in their set field. and that team comes together to identify which of the publishers that submit their curriculum is going to be approved for for allowable adoption at districts. Again, that's a very long process. We're still at the point where the new uh frameworks are not complete. So, the publishers are doing a lot of kind of guessing and anticipating as to what changes will be made and they're working on that curriculum right now. And when the final frameworks come out, this team gets together and they sort of cross reference what it is they say the curriculum has to have and what does the publisher actually provide. Um, for the most part, there's usually five to
030seven publishers available at each uh content area for us to choose from. And I think our teachers have done a great job historically with picking the right um publishers so that we can move forward with our students. So what is our cycle? Currently, our English language arts uh curriculum for lang uh for language arts is what we call wonders. We adopted that in 2016. That's K through six. Um in 7th through 12th grade, we have a a a collection called collections adopted in 2016 as well. At the TK level, uh because that's a continuing growing population for our uh district, it's a program called Ready to Advance. The EL programs uh for kindergarten through six were adopted in 2016. They are embedded in the Wonders program and grades 7th through 12th is a program called
031Syngage. Moving on to math, uh if you have a chance to ever talk to any of our elementary teachers, um they'll always tell you that our Wonders uh program sometime is lacking in the curriculum aspect, but our Go Math program is more robust. So, uh, we spent more time trying to bolster and, uh, add to our wonders and less time having to do that with go math. Go Math was adopted in our in our district in 2013. Grades 9 through 12 went through a math adoption in 2015. It's a program called Hooton Mifflin Hartman history, social science, kindergarten through 8th grade. Uh right around the pandemic, our teachers engaged in a pilot study and they selected a program called teacher curriculum institute tci and grades 9 through 12 same year was adopted at uh our
032high school and junior high. And finally with science kindergarten through 8th grade is a program called amplify adopted in 2019. I won't go through and read all the 9th through 12th but I think we have a teacher here who could speak to it um space science geology anatomy physics chemistry publishers uh a program called samus learning as well as hootin mifflin hardcork pearson and mraill that was just recently updated in 2024 and um part of the the discussion around tonight's presentation was to make sure that the board understands uh we're constantly looking at updating our curriculum Um you you you see in the um in the agenda tonight, we have a um a US history uh class that's updating its content to reflect ethnic studies embedded in in in that. Um we follow the same
033process for any adoption that comes through whether it's a standalone class um like a CTE course or grades K through 12 language arts English. So it's the same process. We bring teachers together, they collaborate, they uh do research, they create lesson plans, uh they uh they actually select, they have to choose which publisher they want to use. So their voices fully represent them. And that's all I have. Any questions? Yes, I have a comment. You know, uh I'm not an expert in curriculum or might have been close, you know, but I've uh I made a couple of calls you know, regarding curriculum and our test scores and I called a few schools that are very successful and test scores and uh I asked them about the curriculum and stuff and uh they were saying like
034one school from one side of the town both schools like the third graders are using the same curriculum, you know what I mean? But one school's not using one and the other one's using a different one and one principal is not deciding what you know he wants to do. You know, it's it's kind of like uh you know, Scott, me and you, we're we're football guys and and uh like freshman team at a at a high school will use the same plays as a varsity, you know, just like Temple City did in 1971. And then they even went a step further to use it with a youth football and the terminology the you know the verbiage and all that was the same you know what I mean you know and I don't know if I'm
035going the right place or but uh you know like I said I'm not an expert you know but it seems like the the schools that are very successful with their test scores are all on the same page right I I don't know if I'm explaining myself that makes it makes sense and uh we're we're constantly striving uh at at the cabinet level to support school sites with this idea that we're all consistent across all of our grade levels, across all our content areas. Part of that comes with monitoring. So, we do walkthroughs and we do identify whether or not the third grade English uh language arts um curriculum that's being used isn't a district adopted curriculum. We do we do have that that ability um to make sure of that. It it's it's it's a
036constant work in progress. Part of what we enjoy out here in Barstow as you know is we have a lot of teacher turnover and in order to be able to support them we have to train them and to find the time to do that it's not always easy just given the fact that we have constraints around that. So it's it's a constant effort um and and it all boils boils down to monitoring. So at our level we try to support our principles with monitoring their teachers. uh they will monitor their um students as well. Um so it's it's an ongoing effort. Yeah. And you know and you and your sister you know you guys really explain very well and I'm learning every day every meeting and you know and I just thought I'd throw that
037out there and and like I said I'm not an expert you know and you know I know you guys are doing a good job and and uh but I I just just you know just needed to say something you I appreciate that. No, I I and I agree with that because I've I've heard that before the consistency across the board about a week in the same shoes and I I've heard that I I've heard that and you're right and and I applaud what you guys are doing. Thank you. Thank you. I I had a few questions. I don't want to kind of spiral in too many different directions. I'll try to keep it as focused as I can. the the first one that I kind of wanted to try to understand is between the adoption
038cycles of the standards and then where we are as far as our cycles in inside of our curriculum. So from if I'm understanding correctly, particularly if you pull up say like the language arts piece, right, is that we're looking closely at having a new um a new curricula or a new set of standards coming out. So we are going to futurewise align that when that is becomes available. Correct. But then if I'm looking at say like the other ones i.e. either math, you know, social science, science, all the other categories. If we aren't having new standards coming into place, do we have anything districtwise as either a procedure as a rule of thumb or what we've done as far as saying at five years we want to review this curriculum or at 10 years or
03920 years or like is there anything as far as it makes sense if we're waiting on the ELA port piece because we're about to have a whole new set of standards and a whole new set of curricula. curriculum, but with the other ones, if there isn't anything directly in the pipeline, do we have anything, you know, to either pilot new programs or Well, we're constantly review it or, you know, does that make sense? Yeah, we're constantly engaging in um identifying supplemental materials as I was talking about with wonders um as well as supplemental um strategies. For example, we have a very robust uh reading u teaching K3 reading uh program of training that Miss Fischer overseas for our district. I think we have over a hundred or so people that have gone through this and
040it's setting us up to be prepared for the new um successful call again the K2 reading the K2 reading difficulty screener. So yeah, we're constantly looking at, okay, what do we need to do to prepare ourselves for when something comes down from the state? Part of the ED code with the curriculum frameworks and the the the curricula that the curriculum that comes after that is the state requires us as a district to ensure that our students are receiving Common Core aligned curriculum. And in order to do that, it's researchbased. So, who better than to tell us which curriculum will fit than the state. Um, so yes, we are kind of tied to that timeline, but we're always looking at supplemental opportunities for our teachers, for our students, uh, so that we're not falling behind. So
041there's not really a time in between when that update comes. So like let's just say for instance, you know, history, social science last adopted 98. There's, you know, and then when and then you look at ours was adopted in 2016. You know, it do we usually roll like 10 year? Is there is there like a rule of thumb or it's eight years for the states? Eight years. Okay. The state said they stated in the ED code that every eight years they're going to complete their updates. Okay. They haven't been doing right. It's become political. That's where I'm Yeah. Yes. It's become political. So, we're kind of at the mercy of of the work that they're trying to do. Okay. Um, however, like I said, we we do try and get ahead of the curve with
042various other supplemental opportunities. And with our supplementals, is this do we have uniformity at all within the district when it comes to supplementals as in you know what reading do we is it like say all elementaryaries will have the same supplemental curriculum to supplement say wonders, right? So I can go into any uh you know skyline, Henderson, etc., Not necessarily. You you'll find uh when you read the LCAP in the equity multiplier goals, almost every school that is an equity multiplier school does have goals of ti uh tied to student achievement and within that they have to uh communicate with their partners about what can we do as a school site to improve what we're what we're offering to students and through that work they identify for example Lenwood popped into my head there's a
043program called math movement uh basically what it does is it takes the go math curriculum and ramps it up and makes it more tactile for kids or physical activity around the standard. So that's an example of what uh the freedom that we give our our sites to work with their educational partners because each site um they have a different story as it relates to their California dashboard. Some of our school sites made large gains from 23 to 24 on the dashboard in areas of like language arts and English language development. Whereas a school that's 5 miles away didn't realize that same improvement. So they have different needs. So that's where they talk to their educational partners to say what can we do more and better to support what our kids need. So there is flexibility
044in that. Okay. It makes sense. I I hope I'm not trying to interrogate this. There's a lot of different pieces to it. Is do we have anything as far as with when we're saying educational partners specifically in house as far as the teachers site leads or anything to have those discussions or those committees or is that in place? Yes. Um all of our schools are title one. They have to complete a comprehensive needs assessment every year as part of their single school plan which you guys will get in June. They they've each done that and by going through that process they're they're talking with teachers, teacher leaders, uh community, other administrators, district level cabinet um to help formulate that plan. So yes, there is a yearly um process that each school goes through and all
045of it is based on the California dashboard. Mhm. So if they've got x number of students that are now um underperforming in language arts, they have to attack that with actions, services, and dedicated resources. Okay. I guess kind of the last part is do we have any way as far as if there is something that we know is good such as the math piece that you were bringing up and with having the movement and all that but say that's only using the uh equity multiplier funds from that school but another school say may not have that funds. Is there any way as far as that getting brought to our attention that like hey this is really awesome but we don't have that funding is there any way we can Yeah. Because we're a title one
046district, every site has access to plenty of funds that can um act as equity multiplier dollars basically. Okay. um they're restricted dollars so you you can't um uh supplant but um I think we've been doing this long enough we're able to kind of guide the principles so that they're they're aware that I can use title one money on this equity multiplier on that as I just want to make sure at least from from our end that there's nothing we else we could help as far as if there is an educational program there is a curriculum there is a supplemental there is something that could be offered to make sure that we have it available. The next big one will be math. There will be math curriculum available next year for piloting. So, we'll be bringing
047teams of teachers together uh next year in hopes of finding the right curriculum to launch in 26 27. Cool. We we'll be using unrestricted restricted lottery. Well, thank you. I know that was a lot of different questions. I had like a hundred different questions kind of Yeah. that I've been, you know, thinking about all the time, but thank you. Everybody else good. All right. Uh, next we have the enrollment report, month nine. Thank you. Uh if we look at month nine compared to month eight, uh the district is down 10 at the elementary and up five at the high school, the this equates to less than 1.1% of the district's total enrollment. Not too bad. Uh but if you look at month nine in comparison to last year's month nine, the difference is about 4.4%.
048We're not funded on enrollment. However, if you wanted to replace that percentage with a number, you could take the average PE people spending approximately $10,000. That's going to equate to $273,000 from year to year. Um, so as I said, however, there are a lot of factors of how the district is funded, such as total increases and ADA changes that contribute to the overall Elementary were down 10 from month 8 to month 9 and the high school board upris what are we doing across the board I know across state across the country big issue with declining enrollment So, what are we in in our district doing to help reverse that? Is there is there anything we can do? Build more houses. Build more houses. I think the city's trying to work on that, but two projects.
049Yeah. So yeah, I know it's a big issue, but that's I need to fix this question other than building. We do have a lot I specifically don't have necessarily all the answers, but I do know um CSBA does have a lot of specific trainings on that and information to kind of bring back. I've been a little bit more both in the curriculum and financial side, but I'm sure there is some more. We can probably look into that from the CSBA side to try to get some more information and help. So, yeah, I read those pretty much all the time like a lot. So, a lot of information has kind of a finger on the pulse of that as well. It's an enrollment center. So, not a whole lot we can do, but we get that
050big project going. I'm sure they're working. I'm sure they are too. Uh, next we have the monthly cash report. I'm guessing that's it is. Thank you. As of the n 19th of May, the district has $82,999,993.38 as noted in the San County Superintendent Schools chair. That is the right. Uh next we have the superintendent report. Yes. Thank you. Good afternoon board members, staff, and guests. We are near the completion of the 2024 2025 school year. Tomorrow is our last day. We have held two graduations, one promotion and one completion ceremony. We have one promotion ceremony and one graduation ceremony coming up. This year has been filled with many exciting events focused on academics, mental health, behavioral support, the arts, and athletics. Our students have impressed and inspired us through the year. Congratulations to the 2025
051high school and adult education graduates. Although your journey with the USD has come to an end, we will always be here encouraging you as you move on to your next paths that will map your individual lives as productive members of our society. Just as we celebrate the success of our students, this is a perfect time to celebrate the success of our staff. Wednesday, May 14, 2025, we celebrated with our incredible staff at Barca Community College Performing Arts Center. The movie The Incredibles was playing in the theater while food trucks provided amazing tacos and desserts outside. In the foyer, raffle prices and service pins were handed out and great conversations were going on. Uh fun was had with those who attended. On Friday, May 16, 2025, every school and department received at least one edible arrangement
052as a thank you to our incredible staff. The arrangements consisted of flowers with some pieces dipped in chocolate. I hope every staff member had the opportunity to en enjoy this special treat. And we look forward to our next regularly scheduled board meeting on June 10th, 2025 where we will recognize our BSD retirees with Crystal Apples for their years of dedicated service to students and staff. As we close out the 2024 2025 school year, we are prepared and excited to kick off summer school on June 2nd, 2025. Our staff are looking forward to welcoming students back for the summer session as we continue our commitment to ensuring every student in Barcel district is provided a safe environment conducive to learning. Thank you. Next, we have the board reports. I don't really have a report. I just
053want to say hi to everyone. My apologies for being absent and a little chardy today. Um I do want to give um a shout out to the staff at Skyline, also the ISP teachers, and also Astia Lewis with the math work she's doing with her students at Cameron. And that's about it. Thank you. Yes, I'm just happy to be here. Good to see you, Miss Jesus. Yes. you know, uh first I want to thank Bar Community College for, you know, letting us uh use their facilities for the picnic and also for the graduation, you know, and uh and I want to give a shout out to the custodian staff and the maintenance staff that are uh that put out the chairs, you know, the silent heroes of uh the college and our school district and
054also support staff and you know, staff, you know, that you know, it's a pretty heavy time of the year for graduation and, you know, and they did a fantastic job. Uh, we went to the Central High graduation and, uh, I'm sure glad a couple of those speakers aren't running for office, but they'd tear us up, you know what I mean? They were really, uh, it was, you know, it was enjoyable to be there, you know. Um the uh my second thing is I I I don't know if it's a question or whatever. Uh you know, I don't know if I missed it or not through our agendas. You know, I say we're hiring uh staff for summer school. And in the past, we've hired extra custodian staff. Are we going to hire extra or did
055I mess it or are we going to bypass it? We're going to let the uh guys that uh are working there uh do double duty or what? Did I miss it? You know, if I miss it, please correct me. Mr. Yeah, we're going to hire extra staff or the sub school. Okay. That's good. And the district picnic, you know, uh Mr. Geras or Mr. Ortiz, Mr. Godfrey, they were there with all smiles as you know. Thank you very much, Mr. Rubio. I I took a guess, went to the uh ticket table. Uh Christina and Mo were there and uh the guest that I was there, she said, "Those are very nice people." And thank you very much, Christina, and thank you, Mo, if you're watching. Uh that's uh a good reflection on the school district.
056You know what I mean? It doesn't it doesn't uh cost nothing to be nice. You know what I mean? A smile goes a long ways. Uh, and the fourth thing I like to bring up, uh, the Memorial Day. Uh, you know, we've had, uh, you know, uh, Mr. We had a soldier Espinosa of World War II that was killed, lived there on Sixth Street. U, Mr. Stone, uh, Mr. Stone Cipher, Mr. Grego, Mr. Lovado were killed in Vietnam. they, you know, they gave up their yesterdays for us, you know, and uh I don't take that lightly. And uh uh my three colleagues here uh served in the in the service and uh want to thank you guys again. I've done it before. And uh I don't know. Uh it seems like we're just forgetting our
057military, you know, mostly the ones that gave up everything for us, you know, and uh that's Thank you, Mr. Brad. Uh I have nothing to report. Thank you. Um, I'd also like to echo uh the sentiments of my colleague um just to remember Memorial Day. Uh it's not just a three-day weekend, but people did actually sacrifice everything for us. Um and I I do, you know, take that very personally and take it to heart. Um it's easy to say all the different things that we say in all the different ways and for all the different liberties that we have, but people did pay the ultimate sacrifice in order for all of us to be able to have that. So, I always take time to remember that. Um, also want to say thank you to the
058presenters for all your information. Uh, thank you for everything. Uh, I I do really appreciate getting all the information. Um, so that way I can make the best informed decisions that I can do. Um, also wanted to say thank you um for all the different people at all the different places. Uh, Miss Lewis um from going and doing her class awards and the I don't know the exact name of the event, but the STEM the whole STEM activity uh was pretty neat. I actually got to take uh my daughter over there who's also in fourth grade. So, she got to kind of play with some of the experiments. So, that was neat. Um getting to do the the scavenger hunt. Uh Miss Given and Mr. Williams were also out there. So, that was just kind
059of a neat um experience to get to see the kids the kids being able to do hands-on activities. I know was nice. Um senior awards was pretty awesome at the high school. I don't remember the exact number. I believe it was over $120,000 that we were able to give out in scholarships to all the students. Um, so that's just awesome to see the whole community wrapping around our students in order to provide that much support for them to be able to move on, you know, to their next voyage in life through college. Um, all the different graduations, promotions. Um, really inspiring to see or to hear the speeches. um to see all the students and all the families, everybody coming together. Um and also the uh employee appreciation was nice. Um I was there. Um
060it was nice to see all the different conversations being had. And um definitely open to you know hearing any suggestions or if people liked it doing it there at the college if we'd all like to continue doing it. I think it went well, but always happy to hear what everyone has to say about it and try to make it as awesome as we can. All right. Uh, next we have the student representatives report. Did you have anything else you'd like to add? All we have left while wrapping up the year. Well, I will be personally at the STEM graduation ceremony tomorrow to give my speech for the upcoming freshman. And uh, all we have is our senior champ coming on tomorrow. And uh, yeah. And this is my last time as a student, so it's
061pretty much it. Sounds good. Well, you are more than welcome to stay if you would like. Um or if you would like to take your leave, that's fine as well. Thank you. Thank you for your time. You guys have a good day. Thank you. All right. Uh next we have the representatives report. EA Before I start my speech though, I think it's pretty cool that ASB is doing all the new activities next high school. Bringing activities for our kids is an amazing thing. Hopefully they can fund raise and get some stuff. I think that's really cool to see those ideas come through. Kids need to have some fun in school as well and not just learn. Um, second of all, just personal note, thank you for everyone that showed up to do our little breakout
062meeting. Um, we we know who the sergeant of the military is now. as I turn and Gibbon's kids are all over the place running around just you know he has his all lined up I don't know what you call that online and I don't know what it was but it was fun so thank you and thank you for coming up awards night so I appreciate that okay now for BA report um after the year we've experienced um our members continue to feel that their voices opinions and values are not respected or appreciated by BUD as a result we will be moving forward in a new direction next year. Although this board did not take our vote of no confidence seriously, we will give we will not give up on finding meaningful ways to express our
063concerns. Have I said as I said before, we will not back down from our strong beliefs. Too many of our teachers voted no confidence and were overlooked, dismissed, and made to feel unheard. This cannot be ignored. As we look ahead to the next school year, we intend to begin with a more focused organized action. We remain deeply disappointed that our request for a mediator to support both BEA and the district administration was disregarded. This was an important opportunity for progress and mutual understanding and it was denied. Additionally, we want to be very clear that BEA does not support the continued use of full mine teachers next year. While we did meet with full mine and had a productive initial conversation, the meeting was cut short by district administration who rushed the process and did not
064respect our request for additional time. We are firmly against the use of any online teachers and strongly believe that continuing the period subs and class splits, though difficult, is far better for our students well-being and educational experience. I'd like to personally thank Mr. Heldrith for being the only person who answered the phone on Friday. Thank you. I called the district office and attempted to contact five different departments, none of which answered the phone. The situation the situation highlights VA's ongoing concern about the lack of communication within this district. As this long a difficult school year comes to a close, we commend all of our members for their unwavering hard work, dedication, and commitment to our students. We hope all our members find time to rest, recharge, and enjoy a welldeserved summer break. Thank you. DSCA
065CSA, uh Gary Thomas, uh chief communication officer. Um we got some things to say. Uh we did have nothing but pretty much positive feedback about the employee appreciation day. Uh pretty much everyone enjoyed it. We'd like to thank the management team, especially for our end in that um the way that they were able to present it this year, none of our members had to work or operate the event. So, every single one of our members had the opportunity to attend it. And we really do appreciate that. Um sometimes, I think over the years, I don't think it was lost, but it was kind of a thing where some of our employees had to work and attend the events and they weren't able to fully enjoy what you guys were able to offer the other employees.
066So, we do really appreciate that. Um we are we are glad the Senate did pass uh threeus. Um so hopefully those will be going forward. Um I'm not sure if they made them to this agenda or they made it to the June agenda. Um we're hoping to get that finalized. Um we have started our negotiations team to start our own internal uh meetings. Uh seeing that it is a sunshine year, um we are digging through every little section to make sure even sometimes if wording should be shall or may just to make sure everything works out properly. Um we were able to present two scholarships at the senior awards, one to David Savala and then one to Kaylee Martinez. We like to wish them luck and all that they do moving forward. Um, one note
067uh I would like to add going from this year to next year when when we do take any kind of pollings or times in our meetings to ask our employees what their concerns are about work from the first day of school to the last day of school. They have mentioned safety. We would like to let you guys know that you guys know as board members there is something that Doug helped me work with and that is the workplace violence report. You guys have since it is a board agenda item or board agenda policy. You guys have the freedom to inquire about those anytime. We are fully pushing forward for our employees to make sure that we fill out those in any incidents whether it's between student and adult or adults to adult. um adults can
068include everything from other staff members, public members, guests, parents, um even outside contractors, whatever the issue may be. We ask them to fill those out. That way, there is something on report. I will say that when we do report any kind of um instances of violence or worries and concerns about security, such as Diana's office and Christina, uh's office um and Mon'nique, they have attended to those issues immediately and with the vigor that needs to be done. So, it's not that it's not being attended to, it's just that our employees want to make sure that you guys, the board, understands the amount of instances they're happening. Not so much that they're not being attended to, but to understand the volume of wish they are being that wish they happening. Um, other than that though, we
069do feel that we've had a pretty successful year. Had great negotiations. Many of our employees feel that they've done well this year. Um, again, thank you guys for placing our um 4Ks. they're going to be moving to different places. Um Daniel's office has been increasing with help of Mr. Gutierre's increasing getting our positions filled which helps relieve a lot of pressure on our employees. So um again it's been a very successful year for us but we'd like to just move forward and try to get better on all things. So thank you guys for your time. Thank you. Uh next we have personnel commission. Uh good evening uh board members uh staff and guests. Uh this is the report from the personnel commission. Uh currently we have zero interviews in process. We have three recruitments that
070are in the testing stage and we have zero recruitment that are open. That's subject to change. Currently we have 383 classified uh employees. uh 179 eight hour full-time, 127 benefited part-time and 77 nonbenefited part-time that are less than four hours. And as always, we carry 15 classified management employments. In security, we have no vacancies. Safety, we still carry the two vacancies. Trying to schedule those interviews. Custodial has no vacancies. Um we're currently scheduling testing for health assistant, school accounting technician, and buyer. And some of those are makeup tests because uh people could miss their time. So we're offering additional opportunities for people to test. That should be the last of the the group of about eight classifications that we're trying to get through the pipeline uh to create our our list. To create our list,
071we have to read the application, score it, determine if they met minimal qualifications, clear them to test. So there's a process for that and so that's what took a lot of time. We focused on that this month. Uh that's why you will see uh uh we had less hiring but more we're preparing to hire more people in June prep work to do the hiring. Uh juniors are going to be scheduled for the list that that we have created right with the a rank list with all this information. Um tomorrow we're gonna uh post uh two classifications for um the nutrition services 3 and the HR technician. So they're going to post tomorrow for people to apply and then again it goes through the same process right turn in the applications we do the review determine
072if they make minimum qualifications test eventually to the list and then um we estimate we have uh processed about 110 on boardings so far this year since July 1st 24 um let's see the campus safety and security trainings were still uh considering the dates of July 29th and 30th trying to coordinate that to do the CPI training which is the safety training right in the field intervene when when kids are fighting or something. Uh what else do we have here? We are uh on boarding a lot of new duty substitutes. So that's taking a lot of time. We're also creating a a flyer with QR code and a place where uh parents or volunteers can uh get the application to become lonely substitutes. So, we're trying to streamline that process. Uh even though we're getting
073a lot of people coming in the door, I know that around the time of school principles want to do a lot more recruitment. So, we're trying to facilitate that. Um we're also processing a lot of at the end of the year uh people are resigning moving on to other districts other positions or they're retiring right so there's a lot of that going on and uh I know there's a question about the summer school so uh we usually hold the positions people sign up if they want to uh be in the you participate in summer school they're custodian or parah you know office assistant whatever you know all those classifications and it goes through a process. Most of those have been selected already. There's maybe an offsystem or two that are still being worked out, but
074um all that is already in place. Um and that is that should be everything I have for you. Uh this did you guys have anything? I did have one question. I don't know it may not be directly I you were talking about the CPI training and I don't know if this is in line or not. I was just wondering from from the district side, do who does it fall under as far as the training and the the request portion? Is it the principles and the school sites or does that like from us from the district office as far as employees who want to have the training that we're having the training allowed to take the training? Is that so to answer your question some of the job descriptions require that they are CPI training? So
075it's a mand it's mandated. It's mandatory. So the district provides it. Uh we're always looking at expanding the the the expertise with the other ranks uh you know people who are actually in constant contact with be it supervised students during the playground nutrition and stuff like that. But uh in contract with uh stuff they they used to come and do the training for us. Uh we had an in-house person who used to do it for us but unfortunately we lost her. So trying to kind of revamp that whole process again. Um we were we hit a little speed bump in the past but I think we're we're back where we need to be. We're actually bringing the trainings and and first of all the priority is to train all the ones that have the requirements
076of job description and then after that we'll start training everyone else that that that would want to be trained. some of the some of the classification or campus security assistance uh parent educator essent to have it. So yeah, okay. I just know that's been kind of a hot I've heard that a lot of different places. It's been a big one. So I just I heard it whenever you brought it up and I was like, "Oh, I need to ask about it." Yeah, sometimes people take the training anticipating that they're going to make a move into a classification that meets it, but they want to substitute. So that would rely on them to be a substitute in that. Gotcha. And then we have to reertify as well. So what is the what is the cycle on
077it? Two years been over two years. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Uh it's 6:12. I'm going to take a brief fivem minute recess. [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] All right. Okay. It is 6:17 and we'll reconvene and we were just done with the personnel commission. So now we are on the adoption of the agenda with a corrected copy K6A1 resignation retirement of certificated personnel. Uh can I get a motion to approve? So move second. All in favor? I Okay. No communications. Uh, next is the consent agenda. Does anybody have any items they would like to pull? Um, A6 A6. A6. Okay. Anyone have any others? No sir. Okay. Um I also have uh out of general K11 and then out of personnel services the two directly before that uh K6 A4 and K6 A5. So
078that'll be a total of four four items being pulled. Just let me know whenever you're Yeah. Good. So we're starting with K11 you said. Yes. K11. Um, and can I get a motion to approve the consent agenda with items pulled? Second. Okay. All in favor? I. Okay. So, first we'll go to K11, addendum to services agreement with TNG Consulting. Yes. I will take this one on. Um, we are requesting from the board to approve an addendum to the service agreement with TNG Consulting. Team G Consulting is the investigatory firm that we brought on in uh to assist the district in investigating complaints under Title N or UCP against the district to free up um the work of Mr. Godfrey and Mr. Gutierrez. And they have been doing that work since that time. And in a
079few of their investigations, it has been noted in the conclusion of those investigations that the staff involved should receive additional training. And in looking for that additional training, TNG does provide the additional training that we are looking for and um are requesting. And this addendum would bring on that training or individual coaching. and is referred to it's it's the acronym is MPAC, but it's called mentorship in professionalism and appropriate conduct. And we already have two staff members that are specifically um requested to receive training in um professionalism and appropriate conduct. And so we ask the board for approval tonight to allow us to add this addendum to the TNG consulting contract so we can ensure that staff are appropriately trained in those areas that they need additional training in. So this would be specific to
080any of those investigations that conclude with a recommendation training for those individuals. Any questions? Nope. Thank you for that. I I was the one who pulled it. I just wanted a little bit more information about it. Um but for me, um anything with training is good. We were just talking about CPI training. So, um training for management, training for everybody, I think it's a good idea. So, um if we don't have any questions, can I get a motion to approve? So, move. Second. All in favor? I. Okay. Uh, next we'll go to case 684 agenda supplemental assignment to be a teacher and it's going to be Mr. Gutier. Yes. I thought I was going to go over there. So, you you heard uh Mr. Dr. earlier speak about uh state standards common core state standards
081curricula and all that right so uh this this item is to address the need to create pacing guides for for the different subjects and uh the teacher will be working on on on these pacing guides uh through July 20 31st 125 or May 2825 July 31st five uh making sure that we're aligning those standards uh to meet the student needs and the individual school site needs and this item is presented to the board for approval for any questions. So with the pace, so is the district side creating the pacing guide or the teachers creating it? Are we working together or what is? So usually what happens with this is we look at the curriculum as and we we find uh seasoned teachers at the grade level or subject matter and then based on their expertise
082we determine um you know if the if the standard is introductory, developmental or mastery for that grade level and then we we assign a specific time that we're going to be addressing that standard in the classroom to make sure that that we are teaching to mastery. Right? if it's an introductory lesson, we're going to expose the students, try to try to build that foundation uh for for the next few years. So, uh yeah, it's working with teachers at the grade level, expert teachers that we have in our district and using the curriculum and the the the uh the state standards to ensure that we're we are allowing ample time, appropriate time to address the standard in the in the content area or the grade level. And if I'll turn it over to the experts add
083anything else and I'm assuming this portion with the pacing guide once we do make it that that is district wide. So it'll be the same for any fourth grade teacher any it'll be it'll be already have pacing guides. I apologize. Um, so what I do is I work with our teachers from TK through sixth grade each summer, um, in going through and revising, realigning, um, looking at our four content areas to ensure that we're addressing all of the standards in an appropriate amount of time, looking at data that we, you know, have for um, the assessments, seeing where our students are, and then making those adjustments so that our students can have the appropriate amount of of instruction in their areas before, especially before statement. And is there anything as far as I don't know
084I guess either like districtwise tracking or like where where we actually fall, right? Because I know to certain degrees you have a perfect window, right? Or a perfect plan on what it's going to look like and then sometimes something's a little shorter and sometimes things are a little bit longer. Is do we track it at all or is this more like as far as like site visits as far as seeing like generally speaking where the teachers are falling within this either like throughout the year or also say like at the end of the year to say okay well did we actually get to the end of this guide did we fall a little bit short did we fall a lot of short where right I guess so like one piece is kind of like the
085I'm guessing is on site visits as far as the throughout the year. But then the also would be like for the next year did we did we not get there all the way or what is that because I know also with state testing right then that kind of throws a whole another switch into the whole thing what you're teaching up until that point and then after is there any way of addressing it or I guess if we do have a shortfall going into next school year what is that? Yes. Okay. So the team um the teams that I work with, Raidable teams um have been historically with this group since I came into the office. Um so they have um they have the information as the as the school year goes on to bring that
086knowledge about like like you said like kind of where did we fall as a district. It's um we have representation from multiple sites and obviously it's all the different grade levels. Um so we can make those adjustments. Um as you mentioned when we are doing site visits and walkthroughs that's when we're noticing does um the information um you know in the classroom match the lessons that are being you know taught um you know are we seeing a a big discrepancy where you know for instance it's December but this particular class is still on chapter 2 in math you know what I mean um so you know kind and making those u having those conversations with the site administration in that regard. Um and then also we have the data with our benchmark assessments especially say
087with I ready because that's showing us progress toward mastery with our standards. So yes kind of to all of it. Thank you. Do you guys have any other questions? Um can I get a motion to approve? So move second. All in favor? I I Next is K6A5 supplemental assignment multi-tier support system and TSS. Yes, thank you. So uh yeah, this item uh addresses the need to have these three individuals that are are listed, Miss Mara, Miss Shannella, and Mr. Radonna Barta uh worked in the with the district to as a team from May 30th 2025 through August 1st 2025 um to work through the MTSS system multi systems of support which are academic social emotional learning and and uh behavior. So those are the three pillars of MTSS. They're going to be working over the
088summer um to develop a comprehensive uh FPSS system for the district and just present it for your school. I I was curious with it we have right like it's literally in the title as far as multi-tier support system and is part of creating the plan as far as creating some kind of an avenue or what we're doing on like the higher levels of the tiers of the support systems with the students or is that I know that's kind of like a larger soie you're asking quality around quality control, right? Are we are we providing a quality level of education for our students under the MTSS umbrella? Is that what you're asking? Well, like kind of so like you have like your I guess like your supports of like what we're providing to students given a
089certain situation, right? And then there's lower levels of doing that and then higher levels of doing things as far as you know what that looks like. Yeah. So, um, we we've engaged in MTSS. Oh my god. When when did we start with this Scott? 12 years ago. 2018. 2018. A long time ago. Actually, it was before that. A little bit before that, I think. Right. Because I was a coach back then and I was so it was a long time ago. And the district has always tried to try to uh ensure that we are aligning the the experiences to the MTSS, right? The multi-ter system support. Uh, so your question is okay. So how how are we ensuring that that we are providing uh an MT an MTSS uh enriched program to our to our
090students right we're at different levels depending on the school site right one that comes to mind is PBIS right we it you know it's part of the judgment it's it's it's it's continues to kind of reoccur and we're at different levels depending on which your PBIS uh so they're going to be engaging uh in in in analyzing D that's why Shandanda Mel is there she's looking as administrative coach uh you know Margin is is is bringing in the the e component the the academic side and then uh you know the counselor so do you want to add anything so I guess to be like more kind of I'll give a hypothetical I guess or so like you have like your your regular everyday behaviors of students getting out of their seat talking in class whatever
091okay then then you have like you know you're uh either disruption and or doing something, you're you're not throwing objects, but you're not hurting somebody, you know, then you know, okay, and we have wellness centers and we have other things, right? But then I feel like we kind of have an area that I feel like is kind of above that stuff, right? and maybe fighting to a certain degree, but say lower like not like say full-blown like knocking somebody out, but like a lower level physical altercation per se. Physical aggression. Ph. There you go. Don't have all the technical acronyms, right? Sodified with physical aggression. Yeah, there we go. That um so you have those types of things but happening like more regularly, right? but where we don't have things that are necessarily leading to
092like the far far end as far as like students being fully suspended slashexpelled from from school. What falls in that area where it's past that point that you just mentioned but before this point that area I don't know what the exact acronym would be or tier level that that would fall under or what. Yeah. So you're you're discussing that you're adding a tier in between tier two and tier three is it? Okay. I say I don't know all that. So physical aggression would be a tier two. Okay. The the fine expulsion would be a tier three uh you know us. So the students would would would need to receive tier three supports at that at that moment. Explosion. So part of the PIS is is making sure that we recognize those behaviors and the anticedent
093behaviors so that we can be get ahead of them not being reactive but proactive right so um it's individual you know what what triggers each student is is to be you know have a multitude of reasons why students are triggered to behave the way they they behave and as the the experts in the room as professionals we are we are supposed to recognize those those signs before they happen so that we could so that we could address it with the appropriate resources. Right. So So that's where I was going with my question is is that what exactly what you're saying is that part of what's being formulated by the work that they're doing to then push that to everyone. So they are going to be an analyzing data right in terms of events. they're going
094to be working together to see where the gaps are at the school sites uh in terms of of their their multi-ter system of support. Uh they're going to be engaging in those things. So basically I I assume they're going to be doing a comprehensive needs assessment for the district looking at looking at the at that data and then based on that uh direct the the the professional development supports for each school site uh independent supports for each school site based on their individual needs. And if I'm wrong, you miss something. Okay. Covered it pretty well. Okay. And the the three listed here are serving on a district team. That's why it's coming forward to you because we have to be able to pay them on a time card to come. Yeah. And uh the point
095of the two meetings that we'll have over the summer is to do some planning work for how we're going to support site level MTSS teams in the three pillars that George is talking. Okay. And I'm assuming after they have theirs, then there'll be like a follow on with those three members with the site people later. Not just the three of them. It'll be the entire team. The team consists of district level um uh folks, teachers, uh we have a consultant that comes in and helps us with the work. Thank you. All right. Yes. Thank you, sir. No, no. Okay. Thank you all for all the information. U can I get a motion to approve? I move we approve. Second. All in favor? I I Okay. And next is K6 A6 supplemental assignment adult education program.
096Mr. Oh, there it is. So, this one, this one did the uh Miss Scott Goffrey has identified a need uh to have supplemental extra media assignments for Miss Amy Bond and Michelle Kette to assess and evaluate students assignments for the G testing. This is a reoccurring um you know practice that we engage year after year, you know, during the summer. uh and uh they do good work to make sure that you know they are they are looking at how we how we disperse the funds to make sure that students are graduating this present to the board for that was the question I had because it says in this it says um for the adult program to complete reporting for 2425 um but then prep for 2526 six. Yeah. So they're they're engaging in both. They
097have to report to the state, but also looking at, you know, how to improve practice for next year. So correct. And you said it's recurring anyway. This every year. Got every year. That's what I wanted to know. So if I may add a little bit more, the district tried to address this with with a position that we interviewed and didn't materialize. So So we're back to square one. So So the reoccurring Yeah. No, it's not his fault actually. No, no, no, no. That's fault. I was wondering I was like complete and it it just didn't put a button and make and projecting for the following year how to Okay, summer work. Thank you. Yes, I'm good. Questions? All right. Can I get a motion? I motion second. All in favor? I I and I believe
098that closes everything from the consent agenda which will bring us to discussion items. Uh general L11 resolution 21 number 21 for the 2425 to change the date of the regular board meeting from July 22nd 2025. Yes, thank you. Uh currently in our calendar, our July only July meeting is scheduled for July 22nd, 2025. And as I believe most of you aren't aware, we do a two-year calendar cycle. So with the 25 26 calendar we were unaware that management retreat is going to be held the Tuesday Wednesday third day which is July 22nd July 23rd July 24th which means all management team to include everyone sitting at the this will be away from the office at the management retreat and therefore um requiring a need to change the July 22nd board meeting to July 8 which
099would follow our normal cycle which is effective and and fourth Tuesday of every month. So, taking it from the second Tuesday of the month to the first Tuesday of the month. Did I say that right? From the fourth to the taking it from the fourth fourth Tuesday of the month to the second Tuesday of the month. I didn't sound right because we only have one because we only have one board meeting board meeting twice. So, instead of doing it on the fourth Tuesday of the month, move it and do it on the second Tuesday of the month. And in order to do so, we must bring a resolution to the board because those calendar that is already on a district approved calendar and is to the board for approval. Questions, comments. All right. Can I
100get a motion? So move. Second. All in favor? I. All right. And next is personnel services certificated L6A1 public hearing and adoption of general decla declaration of need for fully qualified educators uh for the 2526 school year. uh recommending recommending the board of trustees adjourn to a public hearing on the general declar declaration I don't want a hard time with that of me for fully qualified educators it is 6:38 and we will adjourn allowing any time has any comments in the night tonight on I thought you were going to comment.

In fact, it is 6:39 and we will reconvene following the public hearing recommending that the board of trustees adopt
101the declaration of need for fully qualified educators certifying that there is an insufficient number of certificated persons who meet the district's specific employment uh criteria for the position listed in the attached declaration. The declaration shall remain in force and effect until June 30th, 2026. And that's not We don't need to vote now. That's just the hearing portion. Correct. Or do we need a vote? We do need a vote.
