027we're Gathering those responses as we speak that information we'll go back to our parent advisory Council to review to help inform the next uh US USD lcap uh the elcap is part of What's called the mcal control funding formula this will be the 10th year that we've been under this new funding system um currently in our district as of uh the the final approval of this lcap our district was allocated 8,927 for the school year the elcap local control accountability plan uh creates goals and actions and services and metrics to be measured by for 48,2 194,00 612 so that's roughly about 28% of the budget and uh the lcap is centered uh very uh solely on California dashboard California dashboard is all about um student achievement data as it relates to uh testing uh scor
028as it relates to Chronic absenteeism suspension rates um and so on within the lcap we are required as a district every district is required to address eight State priorities the eight State priorities came via the lcff in 2014 they haven't changed over over the years uh but what has changed is the amount of oversight and support that our district receives from our County we have a county liaison who I meet with regularly I just met with her a couple of weeks ago to talk about the the uh creation of our year two annual update the H State priorities are basic Services that's are do we have all the teachers that we need do our students have access to standards aligned curriculum and our facilities in good repair uh that's in goal one uh priority number
029two is implementation of state standards are the teachers using uh core content uh curriculum and are they teaching to the standards number three is parent involvement you'll find that in goal number two number four is pupil achievement that has everything to do with standardized test scores advanced placement at the high school level English learner proficiency and evidence of College and Career Readiness which is on the dashboard number five is pupil engagement that has to do with attendance rates middle school and high school dropout rates graduation rates chronic absenteeism rates number six is school climate we hear a lot about that um we just had a visit from our office of Attorney General Le aison she talked to us about um our current status with our 5-year judgment that um priority focuses on school climate suspension
030rates expulsion rates and whether or not students feel safe and whether or not their parents feel safe sending their kids to school and whether or not the school Community feels safe number seven is course access that has all to do with uh does our district offer the courses that are required on under state law and are we offering those courses in a manner that students can achieve and finally other people outcomes that has to do with whether or not we're offering more opportunity for our students Beyond just the basics looking at our slide deck uh you'll see that goal number one has what we're going to cover today is metrics which are how we measure our success expenditures how we how much of our money have we spent based on the action and services that
031we identified and have we yet implemented our actions um I don't want to read if you can go one more slide I don't want to read the U goal to you um this is goal number one this is what's in the elcap and if you have some time to read through you'll you'll find that this is dedicated specifically towards are we teaching to the Common Core State Standards which have been around since 2014 are we ensuring that our teachers are highly qualified and being trained to live those standards um are we teaching to our English language development standards and are we in our case for bar UniFi one of the um very important uh parts of the goal for us is making sure that all of our students are reading at grade level by grade
032three it's part of the initiative that we're working with the state of California they the outfit is called ccec I won't War you what the acronym means right now but it's a group that helps us uh and then finally our our students when they graduate from high school a through G certified what that means is when they get our high school diploma are they prepared and have they made all of have they taken all the courses that allow them to apply to a UC or a Cal State and you'll see numbers about that and then also are they prepared to graduate right their college or career that's College and Career IND if we can go to the next slide you'll see our metrics when the elcat began 10 years ago uh as a district we
033were allowed to choose our own metrics and for the most part we chose kind of similar metrics to most other districts we may have had some specific spefic to our district but as years have passed uh the state and our County they pretty much tell us what metrics are required in our in our goals so you'll see that cast State Testing is listed here I will highlight the fact that these are districtwide scores grades 3 through eight and grade 11 so it's it's just those chunks of grade levels uh that acronym DFS stands for distance from standard say that again distance from standard what that means is if I am at standard and I receive my report that that tells me how I did on the test I'll be at zero that means I'm where
034I'm supposed to be if I'm above zero great news I'm excelling if I'm below zero I'm behind so as a district you'll see our distance from standard is both in math and Ela we are behind in math 124 points and in ela 83 points points and there are many things going on with the U actions that we're doing to address that but I do want to point out that we have made gains uh in 2223 we're 125.4 away we made a slight uh increase or closer to zero at 24.8 so that's good news High School graduation rate across the district has improved by 0.2% uh one of the new metrics here is I ready test scores which we have what we call benchmarks in our district that we admin minister to our TK through sixth
035grade students uh currently based on the goal last year it was 100 students 100 third grade students that scored at Benchmark at grade level um this year it was 95 this year meaning the last school year CTE pathway completers has to do with how many of our high school students complete a two-year pathway that could be anything from culinary arts to computer science to a myriad of other pics uh we went from 16.2 to 16.9 so that is an increase well car our College and Career indicator is a high point for us we increase by 0.2% and compared to almost every other District in the county we are at least double digits above and beyond what other districts in our County are doing and that's a testament to the high school and the programs that
036they're offer I had one quick question last slide just before we went on is there any correlation with the DFS as far as grade level and the points as far as like 50 points equals one grade level or anything is there any yeah that's a deep dive into data and my friend across the way can give us an hour of of a lot of great information as it relates to that but if you can kind of keep in context if we get to zero we doing exactly what we're supposed to be doing so being 124.80 we've got some work to do okay that's what I was wondering like is this you know like a thousand or like like where inside of the yeah I don't have the number in front of me to tell you
037how far how far down or how far up it goes yeah but I will say um all of this is based on what we call a growth model so as we're making progress each year that's all good news and that we need to continue whatever good work we're doing we need to double down and continue to do that um going to the next slide English learning proficiency we saw a little bit of a dip from 41.5 to 34.2 reclassifications dipped slightly uh 6% teacher Miss assignments you're going to hear uh this data here is based on what we call our school accountability report cards each School uh develops a report card that is posted on the State website and our website that is roughly we kind of figured about 18 months uh data in you're
038going to hear in my next report more current data and I think it's going to shed some light on some of the questions you may have about uh performan so we went from eight teachers being misassigned to an increase to 12 teachers our Williams walks that we do every year a lot of us weren't here when I reported this back in uh September but we're doing great there all of our students have the book supposed to have and teachers have the teachers manuals that they need to deliver comic for state standard construction a through G completion I talked about that already that's how many of our seniors graduate ready to apply to UC or a cal state currently we increase by 0.5% so 12.8% of our seniors in 23 24 were prepared to apply to
039a Cal State or UC and then with our AP exam score exam scores this measures how many of the students who took the test pass with the three four or five not all of our Juniors or seniors take the AP exam I would say if I had to guess it might be uh around 30% is depending on the on the subject matter we saw a slight decrease there from 33.4 to 32.5 this is the biggest goal so it'll take me a little while to get through uh there's another metric that we're required to do this is new for this year we have to compile the data of the number of students that both both completed the a ofg requirements and completed a two-year path and we saw a slight increase there for point 11.3 to
04011.6 that's good news uh we'd like to see that grow early Assessment program uh is a metric that looks specifically at our 11th graders they're the ones who take the state test in high school and this tells us how many of them when they appli to go to a college in our in our state and are um accepted are allowed to go into the entry level English or Math course or whatever um uh major they're going into so for ELA that's language arts English I should say uh we saw it we went from 31.0 7 to 18.47% 74 to 10.85 and we we have some plans to do kind of a deeper dive into this information specifically with our language arts English scor we think there might be some covid implications there the students that
041are being measured here uh were covid students during their eth grade year very pivotal year for acquiring standards to do well at the high school level high school dropout rates is about the same 13.3 to 13.4 broad course of study which was one of the State uh priorities uh we are at 100% implementation which is good news moving on to go before I go there any questions about goal one after I get through all the goals I will then go into how much money we spent up to this point and what did we spend it on goal through is a very important goal for us it's been in our lcap as long as we've had an lcap it's all about engaging our educational Partners which includes our parents which includes the community members I think
042we've done a lot of work here especially with the support of our Consultants that come in and help us with designing those opportunities and we continue to move forward with that how do we measure how we're doing one of the metrics here is Central enrollment center right Central Enrollment Center interactions for service we have been tracking the number of students number of families to come in to enroll we went from 1,200 all of school year 2223 to 1677 as of about a week ago so we're increasing the number of families that are coming in to enroll I anticipate we're probably going to add another three or 400 families to that number at the end of the year uh number of families provided clothing uh you see we went from 100 to2 and that's not quite
043a huge increase but remember we're only in February and that office saw our homeless Foster nule Aon take another job so it was empty for just a bit so we're doing a good job there and then finally special education and homeless service um uh referrals for 2223 we're at 230 currently up to this point we're at 165 I anticipate we'll we'll go past 230 this year most definitely we administer a survey every year uh in November to as many of our students as we can uh the data that you're going to see at the middle and high school level for students is pretty solid we have a pretty good number of students when they go into the English class their English teacher says here log on to you true survey take the survey Elementary is
044a little more difficult because uh that requires parents to be involved with approval so sometimes we don't always get that approval back so that some of those numbers are a little a little less uh than uh Stellar there uh in terms of the youth TR survey one of the questions that was asked was my school creates a positive work environment for me and you'll see across the board Elementary about the same 76 to 74 at the middle school level we saw a drop from 70 to 53 one of the differences between 23 and 24 uh one of our schools had a hard time getting getting that effort off the ground so this year's data at 53% is a more solid number about how the entire district is looking as it relates to middle school with
045high school it's about the same 54 to 52 the other question that were listed here is I feel engaged with my school which goes back to am I being asked how I feel am I being asked for my input am I being involved in decision- making in my class elementary about the same 61 to 62 Middle School slite Drop 54 to 48 High School also a slide drop 52 to 40 okay goal three uh the actual goal is really simple it's a it's one sentence it's basically our Unified School dist district is going to provide a uh safe inviting environment for our students to learn so I I thought I might need to give you the explanation on this slide to let you know how uh in-depth that is I won't read the whole thing
046to you but I will say to you that you can see that on the second line there students can Excel academically socially and emotionally that refers back to what we call multi-tier systems of support which is a huge effort in our district trying to make sure that we're paying attention to all three pillars are students doing well in their studies are they behaving in class and are they feeling um uh emotionally connected to the school um also are we gauging the effectiveness of its approaches approaches and interventions are we making informed decisions based on data um uh in here I think I can't find it right now but there's a reference to um suspension rates chronic absenteeism U those are really important to us and we spend lots and lots of time talking about that
047both with our site administrators um with our our Union representation uh with Community Partners about how can we improve our efforts in these areas and I think if we change the slide you'll see with the metrics what we're measuring chronic absenteeism we saw quite quite a quite a decrease went from roughly 50% to 45% that's good news our suspension rate after having been double digits and getting all the way down to 7% we saw a slight uptick to 88.5% there are different variables that are contributing to that and we're looking at that closely I think as we look at the current dashboard this coming year I think you'll find us getting back closer to 7% this sort of some of the wat set home I if that makes sense with the youth true survey the
048question here that's uh being measured is I feel safe at school or my child feels safe at school um I won't go through every uh one there but you'll see that elementary students are about the same there is a dip at middle school and again that uh could be contributed to the fact that one of our schools was not able to complete the survey in 23 they were able to 20 to able to do it in 240 um Elementary parents more parents feel safe to send their kids to school 2% more Middle School parents weren't measured in 23 but in uh 24 48% slight dip with high school parents 5540 Elementary staff Mirror Mirror numbers there 66 to 66% Middle School staff 50% in 2024 High School staff a slight increase to 47% next question
049has to do with multiple engagement percent positive responses I I can't really go through this because that uh that report's not quite done in youth true survey but you can see for 23 uh where those numbers are and they somewhat near what I just shared with pupil expulsion rates numbers there five expulsions uh school facilities this is the one that measures number one basic services in uh State priority where we actually have a county team that comes in and looks at everything across eight different schools and gives us a report that's a report that comes in September uh 13 instances of good repair what good repair means is we can fix it and either we fix it on the spot or we put a work order in and it eventually gets fixed 13 to 14
050for this year and finally our attendance rate uh went from 87.2 to 88.0 n so that's getting better so the first three goals have to do with District where I districtwide initiatives and they are they they cover every every state PR um with goals four five six 7even and eight these are what we call Equity Equity multiplier goals Equity multiplier is funding that comes from the state that is based on Mobility rate at a given School site so if a given School site is above what's the number 25% of Mobility rate meaning 25% of their population is either moving in or moving out or doing both they're going to receive funding um all the schools that are listed here are multiplier schools now the state's requirement around this these dollars is that we put a
051goal into our lcap and the goal has to be focused on the student groups that perform in red in any given California Das board met so for goal four um we're talking about student achievement both Ela and math and if you have chance to go into the lcap and just take a look at all the data that's tied into this it's like seven or eight pages of of data that we have to both mine and find and then keep track of it we have Barca High School listed here for English language arts and math we have Baron Junior High School listed for English language arts cam Elementary English language arts Henderson English language arts and math Lenwood English language arts yes that's it Montara English language arts and math so the goal with this work
052is to apply dollars to support increasing student achievement at these schools with these student groups and of course with all of our which you saw in go one and I'm happy to report with the metric you're going to see that there are schools that are making progress they're already making progress they got Equity multiplier dollars and the day that they came out wow you're already making progress which is good news um I won't go through all these if you go to the next slide Christina but you see the sites listed bar High School bar Junior High School their only met that that we needed to focus on was English language arts for all students which that's kind of a big deal especially for bar Junior High School um that means the only student group that
053performed in red and I'm saying performed in Red without giving you the full context of what that means but basically it's the lowest performance level that you can achieve for the State Testing the fact that they only had one student Group performing that way uh is is allowing us to really dig into what what were they doing that that was working and continuing that OCC you see Cameron's numbers there as well as Henderson I will point out if we can go back to Henderson real quick if you look at um so the way the numbers work if you look at the math column for Henderson it it it's it states all student stud and then there's parentheses for all students they went from 85.3 distance from standard to 82.5 so that's good they made progress
054African-American students 26.9 to 104.5 that's huge that's 22 points that's a lot of points um socially economically disadvantaged students SED 98 to 72 that's double digits good news and then students with disabilities this is the biggest one 132 to 91 my math tells me that's about 40 something right so Henderson made a lot of gains in math so now we've got to do some focusing on heing if we go to the next slide you see the same thing with Lenwood with Matt 108 to 103 all students 124 to 103 English Learners socially economically disadvantage 113 109 students with disability 190 163 and actually they made great progress in ela as well 82 to 86 for all students 9679 English Le and I I I do before we go forward Montara obviously know student groups for
055ELA great news but if you look at their math scores really big improvements there they've been doing a lot of work there okay goal five same thing Equity multiplier it's a list of schools and this to focuses on suspension rates we have BHS CHS Lenwood and Henderson if we can go to the metric these are all the student groups that are listed and as you notice uh bhs's numbers have tick up CHS has gone down two percentage points is is pretty big Cameron students who have two are two or more races went down 7.9% that's huge Henderson African-American students went down 5.5% and Lenwood across the board hug GES or decreases I should say so the work is happening already uh goal six chronic absenteeism this this is a tough one not just for our
056district but every District in the state Co did a a real number on us and we're still trying to get our feet under us to really get back to that preo uh that pre-co number which off top of my head I don't remember but it's much lower than what it currently is if we go to the equity uh excuse me the um metric section you'll see all the schools that are listed um you'll see that there are some large decreases is starting with Cameron press line Anderson as well so the data is already decreasing which is all good news for us what will happen with Equity multiplier goals because the same schools I just got the list today the same schools will receive funding and we're going to add well we're going to add bar
057intermediate we're going to drop bar out so next year's this year's lcap will include bis and it'll be based on the red student groups performance goal seven is graduation rate and College and Career indicator we have been talking actually most recently about how can we really attack graduation rate at Central High School we've got some really interesting ideas that are coming out of those discussions uh of which one of those ideas will come to you in the form of a board item to change uh sort of how we're looking at credit retrieval at Central that's more discussion we're going to have before we bring it to you but I think we have some some good Headway hits we anticipate the grad rate will increase quite a bit if we go to the metric section you
058see that the College of career indicator uh number that's tied very closely to how students perform on state test language arts and math and uh many times students who matriculate to Central High School historically have had lower test fors than their peers uh they're measured uh through a system called dos it's an acronym alternative school yes something sorry uh so that that but so it's not the same sort of measurement uh but still we have to create a goal to help them improve their College and Career IND goal number eight has to do with English Learners you saw the uh metrics in goal one for how many of our students were English proficient that dropped a bit as well as a number of students that were reclassified if we go to the metric section you'll
059find there are three sites list listed Cameron Montara and baron Junior High School Cameron has already instituted a reading intervention teacher which is allowing them to create a system for English language development in a uh intervention uh sort of way so we're we're hopeful that that will create opportunities for growth and as you can see Montara has already hit the ball out of the park they're going from 30 to 43.2% 43.2% and then finally bar Junior High School looking to uh really spend some resources on their English language development uh classes that they have the next set of slides is basically a an overview of how much money was allocated to each goal and how much money has been expended up to this point R one there was 18 18 million and change budgeted up
060to this point we've expended uh 11.3 million roughly that's about 62% U that's about where we need to be right because this is February have a few more months to spend down those funds and you'll see here the list of actions that have been implemented we increased instructional time school day got longer we utilize software platforms to track student achievement with illuminate we pay for cast which is State Testing coordinators at the site we have categorical office staff that manages all of our categorical funding in our district that comes out of this um goal we also have increased the amount of transportation both at lto high school and District this is to help alleviate the number of students who have to move around uh when uh well let me back up students who move in
061our district uh sometimes move so far that they need a ride to school they're no long they're no longer in a neighborhood school so we're working with transportation to accommodate that to limit the number of uh interruptions to their school program and then also CTE program supports come out of here uh we also have professional development student incentives um preschool pair Educators and long-term English language supports and then we also have our science of reading supports which it says partial here because some of that uh some of that is being paid for out of other categorical uh funding sources not necessarily out of he for goal two 627 450 allocated uh 709 and change has been expended already that's 113.1 and that includes those actions listed here public information officer which we love where is
062he our homeless fost youth the aison comes out of here parent involvement coordinators at each site Foster youth uh student support and the African-American parent advisory goal number three 17.9 allocated 8.9 uh estimated actual that's around 49% and here is the list of everything that is not everything but most of what is uh considered action and services uh I'd like to point out SST coordinators at each site School psychologists counselors at the secondary level our wonderful director of school support and climate all of the central enrollment staff we also help pay for sports and band uniforms now for our secondary schools that's always been a very difficult uh Endeavor and we identified that as a a great me so um our athletic director is very happy about that and our B uh new to our
063our uh to this year is our title n coordinator which is helping us with our ogag uh work and I think uh man that that ball has really been moving I think we've really done a great job at really putting systems in place to handle complaints uh campus security uh assistance come out of this uh goal PBIS Wellness positive behavior intervention and sports Wellness teachers which we have at various sites uh the newly formed position the campus uh excuse me school administrative managers there's one at each Elementary which I think the latest report card is they doing a great job they're really you know filling all those holes that kind of tend to pop open during a school day and it's really helping with keeping the school running smoothly and then finally the reason it
064says partial here is our peer support counselor which just who who just started I think last week and we're hoping uh he sticks and will help bring more support to our students goal four 6.6 allocated 3.7 expended up to this point you'll see that we've identified reading and math intervention teachers here we do have reading intervention teachers at uh many of our sites that are in this school we're looking to double down and have those math intervention teachers hired as well uh one of the things that each of the principles asked for most of them asked for was additional par educator support especially in their kindergarten uh programs and we have a plan put together to help build those positions and really get that ball moving goal number five 3.4 million allocated 1.6 expended up
065to this point uh we have bilingual parent attendance Liaisons at some of our sites that are are in place and are doing a great job for us uh part of the wellness teachers come out of this as well campus safety assistance uh also additional assistant principles uh we do have listed here Behavior therapist uh we don't necessarily have Behavior therapists yet because they're really hard to find so we're continuing to look and another one here is site based school psychologist that has has not been filled up to this point uh goal six 1.34 allocated 784 th000 expended uh this is goal six is for ronic capm this is another parently Aon that will be sitting on phones calling parents creating opportunities to uh have parent meetings with principal and parents to increase uh attendance Lenwood
066Elementary has been uh developing and implementing co-curricular field trips to incentivize students to come to school Anderson Elementary and I think Lenwood as well has also initiated social emotional learning learning assembles goal 7 100,000 allocated 10.4% or 10,400 expended this is Central High School and their graduation rate the midday Transportation because students come in the morning prior to this year they wouldn't have a ride home or they come in the middle of the day they get themselves to school in the middle of the day and then they have a ride home so the goal here was to create a bus in the middle of the day to get kids home and bring kids to school up to this point um we've spent about 84,000 Mones and finally goal number eight has to do with English
067language development increased English language par educator support taking the current positions that are at 3.75 and increasing them full day and then also intervention pair Educators and again we have a plan for that hire those folks and get them in uh into positions that was a long time so hopefully I covered everything I needed to are there any question how do you keep up very thorough thank you very much appreciate that so this really kind of kicks off the development of this year's lcap it's a three-year lcap so what I'm going to be working on what team will be working on currently is updating the ycap tweaking the goals and the action and services and it'll come back to you in June for your approved I have one quick question just as far as the
068school because I know you said one of the schools we were dropping off and the these ones I'm guessing are from derived from the student performance in red and that's how we pick the schools so are those they when does this when does one like drop that we don't cover or is it like it hits a yellow or green is that when does it like does that make sense when does it rotate makes whole sense so um one of our schools is going might be in a predicament we haven't looked at it yet but Mont Elementary there's a possibility they won't have any red student groups but they're still going to have Equity multiplier dollars so what we what we'll do then is we'll look at their whole program and say where can these dollars
069work so they won't have to be tied to a red student group it can be a little more expensive okay and then with how they how the schools are selected it's we don't we don't pick them it's just what comes out of this the census report and the state tells us these are your schools and then they gave last year it was 8 I want to say 8.3 million yeah this year probably be probably BB thank you all right thank you off yeah uh next we have the William F quarterly report 2425 okay this is our annual quarterly report uh covering the months of October through July uh from the county superintendent his findings for school accountability report cards and teacher assignments are listed here there are no findings for instructional materials in school facilities
070I'll Point your attention to the second page which is up there the one thing I want to point out here is this is really about how many of our teachers that we hire are fully credential there are two pieces of information here there's what we call the sarc school accountability report card and if you look at the fourth column from the right teacher vacancies based on the sarc data it's 13 sarc data is a little dated so this 13 is really like the 2223 school year most most currently which is October 5 of 2024 there are 67 teachers from these eight schools that are misassigned meaning they don't have their full credential and I'm looking at Mr G I don't want I don't want to miss speake here they don't have their full credential or
071they may be teaching out of their credential area or so on and so forth that's a huge difference and the reason I identify that is it contributes to the metrics that are in the elcap and that's why our department spend a lot of time trying to figure out how can we create more professional development opportunities to get teachers up to speed so they can be the best versions of themselves anybody have any questions all right thank you uh next we'll move on to the monthly cap report February 2025 uh as of the 18th of February we have 87 M 89151 that's kept at a County Treasury for us thank you next is the enrollment report month six so miss me again thank you um if we look at month six uh compared to month five
072we were down seven at the elementary and down 23 at the high school um so but if you look at from month six to last year's month six um that difference is about 4.5% if we wanted to tie that to a number uh we don't we're not funded on enrollment um but if you took an average average of per pupil spending of 10,000 that's going to be 228,000 just to give just to attach it to a number but there's a lot of factors how we funded you know Cola increases and Ada changes so any questions all right next is a superintendent report yes thank you and uh actually list here good afternoon but I believe we're now into the evening so good evening board members staff and guests the month of February is a time
073to acknowledge the accomplishments of black Americans and to celebrate Black Culture as an essential part of American culture during this month we honor the history contributions and accomplishments of black people it is a time to celebrate activism against oppression and racism every year a theme is chosen and for Black History Month 2025 that theme is African-Americans and labor the association for the study of africanamerican life and history Ash chose this year's theme in which we explore the role of African-Americans in various types of work including factories the military government and private homes later in this meeting resolution number 14 2024 d225 recognition of Black History Month will be read and presented to to the board of approval within the last few months federal state and local news stories regarding immigration have raised questions from staff

087with the first one um I'd like the board to consider the findings of the allegation number four for more formal complaint that VA a filed we believe this finding highlights a concerning disparity and how teachers are treated compared to Administration and district and the district office employees the finding states that there is insufficient evidence to sustain the allegation that our stiens and bonuses violated terms of our agreement and caused undue hardship and frustration for teachers the district did acknowledge that the evidence revealed that this happened due to a change in Personnel in the payroll department because there was a lack of understanding in payroll procedures so people weren't trained so we got paid late so in other words our styons were delayed due to untrained personnel and inadequate training by District administration yet at the
088same time new teachers who have received no formal training on District adopted curriculum and little to no support from classroom management are being placed on Focus plans in their very first year of teaching some have even expressed feeling harassed by side Administration for being put in these plans despite having no training many of these plans outline 12 or more goals for brand new teachers many who have barely have had time to prepare with the lack of prep periods due to period subing without proper training or meaningful support from the district these expectations are setting our teachers up with failure I'm going to review these 12 GRS number one the teacher will create a classroom culture where the student feels a sense of responsibility and for one to and for one another help develop activities to
089support positive interaction among students and help students get to know each other number two this teacher will arrange on and adapt a classroom setting for individual and group learning needs establish a stimulating curriculum riched learning environment that supports content learning and academic vocabulary development provide students access to resources to technology and comfortable workspaces create an environment that promotes optimal learning for each student construct Equitable learning environment for all students number three create a safe accessible learning environment for all students students encourage students to take risk and to express thoughtful and respectful opin opinions related to the topic or sub subject discussion number four Foster and support appropriate student Behavior within the learning environment collaborate with administrative dis discipline office students and families to establish maintain communicate standards for student Behavior understand the underrunning causes of
090student Behavior including development and individual needs and use knowledge in support of positive classroom contact and work practically to prevent and respond quickly to minimize behavioral issues understanding and respond to inappropriate behaviors in an efficient fair and Equitable way number five teacher will involve all students in development of classroom procedures routines through development of the PBI as classroom Behavior Matrix and expectations help students transition smoothly and effectively from one instructional activity to the next the teacher will apply knowledge to your students physical social cognitive and emotional development to assure adequate time and support provided for the students to complete learning activities also they'll develop daily schedules timelines clashing routines and Norms that maximize learning and connect District site and clashing procedure to promote climate fairness respect to all students also adap your teenss procedures and

095for the future lessons will also capture what they learned and particular lesson that they had revisit their plans and teach their lesson plan they got three months to do it I don't know if you bored to just stepped in could do all that in three months but I guarantee you a brand new teacher that has zero training I call the district office and I asked when did they get the training on the curriculum that you provide and I was told they haven't we are seven months in for one teacher and we are a year and seven months in for another teacher and you provide zero curriculum training and you expect that in three months I think we have some double standards the focus plan claims this how I feel Focus plan claims has insufficient evidence
096to sustain the allegations against our teachers the evidence reveals that because the member is a first year teacher with absolutely no curriculum training and little classroom management support there was a lack of understanding if this board truly wants orating teachers we must hold everyone accountable not just the teachers the blame cannot continue to fall solely on Educators our teachers are committed to supporting students but we need real support from top down in order to sued we did a grievance on this because this is against contract we won that grievance then I got blocked and I'm not told I'm not allowed to be told who the members are that are on this just so you are aware that teachers that on this Focus plan are definitely afraid of their administrator and the district office and are
097refusing to come forward I have two I will do complete complaints against those two and continue to try to get the others we'll be contacting our lawyer to get that list the second concern that came up that I apologized was not on this list but came up to me around 8:00 this morning double standards again if a teacher wants to go on a field trip with their child they have to take the day off to go on that field trip with their child we understand that we come and we put the list off to get that day off sometimes we can get denied that day off in fact we can get denied to go to a conference because we don't want us out of our classrooms but an administrator can go down to San Diego
098meet their daughter at the beach then put their daughter on the bus that we don't even know if it's TV tested it's volunteer approved if all of that is done fingerprints on the bus take them on a field trip to San Diego State I believe and then they can go their way and they come back your double standards are too much you're going to keep losing teachers we're going to continue to do what we have to do and I am going to ask some question I know you can't answer it but I'm curious if this door is going to be open next time all my members show up because your rules seem to be different every time I come thank you uh CCA hello Carri Thomas uh representative for CCA uh do negotiations job Steward
