So um in case people [clears throat] thought maybe that was a typo it's not. Um because we had already settled for 2425 but we in addition wanted to fix these uh articles to make them current with [clears throat] policy. Oh, I >> I Okay. Item nine, information items.

The report's attached. Move it or leave it where it is. >> Oh, and you got to push the button to turn it on. There you go. >> Okay. Well, greetings. I'm so happy to be here with you this evening. I'm known to a few of you. I'm Jenny Pierce Cummings. I'm a program director at the Madera County Superintendent of Schools and it was my pleasure to participate and was one of the leads for Williams visits and I had the pleasure of going to um Wasuma Elementary and so that was wonderful. I hadn't been out in that neck of the woods for a while so it was terrific to see all
009the stuff out there. So I wanted to give you a little you each should have received your Williams annual report in your board packet. It was um provided to you. I have notes on the pages that the report includes all of the districts that we serve in Madera County and so we'll just talk about the ones here in Best Lake. So I wanted to begin first by thanking each of the school leaders and those who were on the teams to help us as we were uh visiting the different schools here in the district. It was really important for us to have the principles on board and come and meet with us. And then of course James, your direct director manager of MLT was just fantastic. He had already done so many things ahead of schedule
010that when as we were walking through classrooms, we could say, "Oh, he's been here. Oh, he's been here." So, it was really great. and his team um anytime we found something that could possibly become a problem, he took care of it immediately before the teams left the school sites. For the most part, everything was taken care of. So, just wanted to let you know about that. It was terrific. I do need to read this part because it's legal and I want to make sure that I do it correctly. I just want to give you the background on William's visits. So, in May 2000, the American Civil Liberties Union and other public interest advocates representing students across the state filed a lawsuit against the state of California, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the State Board of
011Education, and the California Department of Education. That lawsuit claimed that the state failed to provide poor and underprivileged students with equal educational opportunities. Allegations included the following conditions existed in schools with poor and underprivileged students. Lack of sufficient educational tools, for example, textbooks and instructional materials. Inadequate facilities, so lack of heating or air conditioning, unclean restrooms, etc. And then third, lack of fully credentialed teachers. The Williams settlement covered a broad school scope, excuse me, of issues regarding instructional materials, facilities maintenance, teacher credentiing and assignment monitoring, enhanced public reporting in the school accountability report cards or the start and yearround schools operating on the concept 6 calendar. We have no year-round schools in Madera County at this time or from that time or since. In August 2004, Governor Schwarzenegger settled the lawsuit. The initial result of
012the settlement was the enactment of five pieces of legislation to ensure monitoring of conditions at school sites with student scores in the lower third decileis or deciles 1, 2, and three schools on the 2003 academic performance indicator. For those of us in education, we remember that and it was loads of fun. An additional outcome was a new oversight role for county superintendent of schools in desks 123 on the 2003 base API. Subsequent legislation changed the API API base from 2003 to more current API deskiles 123 schools for the purpose of school sites subject to site visitations. From 2012 through 2021, the schools monitored were based on the 2012 base academic performance index. So we moved from API to the base academic um performance intent. Then in 2021, Gavin Newsome approved assembly bill 5599 that changed
013how schools were identified for Williams monitoring. As outlined in AB599, schools that meet at least one of the criteria listed below are eligible for monitoring under the Williams settlement legislation following the 2023 California dashboard and subsequent three-year cycles. So when we went from the previous standardized test and we started taking the CASP or the ESPback is what many people know it as the um the expectation of monitoring needed to change to match that. So the bullet points are as follows. Schools eligible for comprehensive support and improvement which is CSI under every student succeeds acts [clears throat] we lovingly call it. schools eligible for additional targeted support and improvement, also known as ATSI, um, as well under ESSA as well. And then schools with 15% or more of the teachers of the school's teachers that do
014not possess a valid and clear or preliminary teaching credential. Both of the ESSA, the first two bullets, that is federal funding. So there the requirements are based on federal funding. Site visitations require verification of sufficiency of test text test text test books and the instructional materials, the adequacy, health and safety of school facilities, appropriate posting of the uniform complaint procedures UCP and review of the school accountability report cards and review of teacher credentiing. Okay. [clears throat] >> Because of the changes um that were made by AB599, Madera County Office of Education, the Superintendent of Schools went from observing and monitoring 12 schools that fell under the previous monitoring um requirements. We went from 12 schools to 30 schools. So, and the law requires that we have them completed within the first eight weeks. Thankfully, CDE
015understood that all of our districts probably had schools that were required to be visited and they extended that to 8 weeks. However, we worked really hard to make sure that we met with all of the districts in Madera County to make this as quick and easy as possible and painless as possible. So if you will if you have your papers uh the report with you on page four of 15 um access that's where we talk about findings in the required area of access and sufficiency of instructional materials in the core areas. Basic Joint Union Elementary School District had sufficient instructional materials for all students in all classrooms visited at all three sites. There were no findings. Then we're going to move to page eight of 15, which is where we talk about the facilities review
016based on the facilities inspection tool developed by OPSC, which is the office of public school construction. And um district and site level maintenance and operations reps accompanied each review team, James and his folks. Written response was provided regarding the disposition of any required corrective actions taken at all three of the school sites. Certification was received verifying that corrective action was taken on all findings at all three sites. I think I just repeated myself. So they a big hand to James's team [clears throat] that if we found something that was an issue, he and the gentleman came right behind us and they took care of everything immediately. Then finally on the last, it's not the last page, but the last page that Bass Lake um shows up on is page 10 of 15 by Joint. This
017one is teacher vacancy assignment and credentiing. And if you'll notice, Oakst Elementary, it says, "The review of teachers assigned to OES revealed that one teacher misassignment and no vacant positions." OES has 22 self-contained classroom teachers. Of those, four self-contained classes with 20% or more English learners. 75% of teachers in those classes hold the appropriate English learner authorization. in at Oakhurst Elementary. One teacher was found to not hold appropriate EL authorization for the assignment and um Mrs. Townsen has been notified. Superintendent Towns has been not notified. Um let's see. At Wasuma Elementary, we'll just skip to the meat of it. 100% of teachers in those classes hold the appropriate English learner authorizations and no teacher missed assignments and no vacant positions. At Oak Creek Intermediate, the review of teachers assigned revealed no teacher mis assignments and
018no vacant positions. Oak Creek has nine classroom teachers. Of those seven with 20% or more English learners, 100% of the teachers in those classes hold the appropriate English learner authorization, also known as the CLED for many of us. So, um you can see in the bottom below Oak Creek's uh information there is a short paragraph official notification of the specific findings was sent to the Bass Lake Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary School District. So, you probably have seen it previously on October 21st for the Commission on Teacher Credentiing. Bass Lake district has 30 days to correct the misassignment once they're notified of u by our representatives and then that's really it. The rest of it is um these the rest of the report is almost entirely about other school. In fact, it is entirely about
019other school and that's [clears throat] it. >> I have a question for you. Yes, Julie. Um I was looking at our neighbor district and I noticed they only have three schools listed. Is Spring Valley and North Fork um not included in >> they may not have been included with the Williams report. >> Well with a Williams visit. So because based on those uh criteria that were mentioned earlier, they probably just didn't fall into the eligibility. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. Anything else? Thank you, Miss Pierce Cumins. >> Thank you. [clears throat] >> Academic achievement. Mrs. Townson has asked that we um put that on December. She was going to have some data ready um for regarding the dashboard and CASP. So that'll be at our next meeting. [laughter] All right. Item C enrollment reports
020over supplementary 350. Mosuba Elementary 232, Oak Creek Intermediate 163, and Best Lake Independent Study Program 17. So, we did have a decrease of six students overall from the last board meeting report. Um, so I'm not too excited seeing it go under 770, but hopefully the numbers will come back up. Sometimes over the holidays we get families that will move into the area. Um but there was just small changes at each site but down six overall since October. And then the other report is the uh ADA and uh versus enrollment hasn't changed too much since the last meeting with the percentages there. >> Thank you. And then item D interd district transfer rewards. So since the last board meeting there were four students that left and three of them went to Atwater who must be from
021one family and one to Chante and there weren't any that came in. So that's uh a couple short of my other spreadsheet there but that's where four of them went. Okay. Item 10, accomplishments and other reasons to celebrate from throughout the district. And tonight we have Oakers Elementary School principal Miss Williams. [clears throat] Come on down. All right. So excited to share with you tonight um the events that have been happening at OES. Um, so in the fall, this fall we OES has been working hard on building community and fostering a positive mindset, promoting safety, um, celebrating creativity. And so here are some key events. In September, um we kicked off with some sore assemblies, just reviewing with the kiddos, um you know, how to be safe, uh optimistic, accountable, and respectful. And so that
022really just helped with, you know, behaviors and just reminding kids of respected. [clears throat] Um we kicked off energy bus for schools and um that was with an assembly. So that was great. We had safety adventure education where we partnered with um uh Natalia and um Natalyia with Sierra Ambulance and then the Red Cross and a fifth grade classroom Iris Project has been continuing our business this year. And we switched things up a little bit this year. We had Vivies with grandparents. Traditionally, we've always had grandparents come at lunch and we've done a picnic lunch and it's a [cough] little bit chaotic and so we thought we'd change it up this year a little bit. It's also usually a million degrees when we do it um with in the beginning of September, like right around
023grandparents day. So, we shifted it to be a little bit later in the year and just do a thing of the morning. We had Larson brothers come out and take pictures and it was people were really happy to have the switch. Um I mentioned energy bus for schools and so there are five rules that we work to um promote a positive culture and so we had Dr. Jim Van Allen come out. He co-wrote Energy Bus for schools and um so he led an assembly with the kids and then at the end of the day we had a staff workshop. It was really fun. And so we're just working on promoting these five rules throughout the school year. Uh we did rule one. Each rule lasts about like seven weeks in the classroom. And there's like
024an energy bus day that the teachers have and the teachers do with their their kiddos in their classroom. So these are some photos from our um kickoff assembly. And so you can see the kids the kids were having a good time and just learning about um the energy best rules and the importance of positivity. Uh this is our staff workshop and so it was really fun. One of the ending activities we did is everybody drew a heart and put it on their back and went around and people wrote like characteristics of of each person. It was fun. So um [laughter] the classrooms are doing all kinds of really fun things. So, um, fueling up with positive energy is the second rule. And so, you can see the kiddos are, um, writing affirmations and positive things
025and putting it in in the the fuel tank. And we have some some kiddos here that are, you know, drivers of learning what it means to be the driver of their bus. And, um, so, yeah, it's fun just having students and teachers and staff focus on being positive. So that was a good start in September. In October, we got to display um artwork at the Sierra Art Trails. We had a junkathon. Big buddies from YS came over and we had a variety of field trips. So, in Sierra Art Trails, um Kathy Murphy, uh in conjunction with Friends of the Oak Library orchestrated this event, and so classrooms made banners of their student artwork um all around literature. And so, Mrs. Huddleston's class made these beautiful self-portraits um that go along with wonder. Oops, wrong button.
026U Miss Sanders class read um Eve Bunting Scary Scary Halloween and made scary or not so scary calico cats. And first grade uh they [singing] did acorn with little wild. So you can see those darling acorns there. TK and Kinder did pigeon Mo Williams pigeon stories and so you can see their cute little pigeon artwork there. second grade Van Go's Starry Nights. So, some beautiful starry nights there. Uh, these two were best in show. We had Holly Mills, second grade class did um autumn colors. So, some beautiful um reminiscent of stained glass and Miss Garvin's class with um Dr. Seuss's Oplaces You'll Go. They tie that in with our their social studies and uh things that they can see in the community. Um Coach Ford's class, they the students got to select their own inspirations.
027So the kids had a lot of fun and it was really exciting to see their artwork on display. of PTC. We we did our Jathon and so of course it was the one day that was really really stormy and it started out beautifully and I think we fit two or three classes outside and then it just started pouring rain and so we shifted to having it here in the MPR and all I can say is I was so impressed by how quickly everybody pivoted and just made the best of it. So it really it it was it was it was a successful event. It was good. Um and then field trips. First grade they go and visit community areas. And so this is their trip to Raies. You can see them like in in the
028packing area walking through refrigerated dairy sections going upstairs and looking at you know where they have the cameras in the break rooms and produce. So kids always love learning at Raies. And so that was Miss Wolves and Miss Belz's classes and of course cupcake decorating and and the meat the butcher section. Uh TK and Kinder, they do their annual visit to the Sugar Pine Railroad. And so um this these are some adorable little cuties from the I think it's the kinder class. >> Yeah. >> Was that on Halloween? >> Yeah. >> Uhhuh. So they go every year on Halloween. It's total mayhem, I think. You know, if you go and so this just it makes it really fun. So the kids have a blast. Um third grade also did the library, which I don't have
029pictures of. They visited the library. And fourth grade did the um course school historic museum. So we're already been in the field trip since how we was blast this year. uh we continued with um a theme and so this year's theme was literary characters. So we have here all the second and third grade teachers being um Jory John characters, Good Egg, Sour Grape, um Bad Seed, and the Smart Cookie. Missing Miss Valdez, they were um the dog and the mouse from the Moroth books. Office staff, we were one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. We have the MOT being Boo Crew. Um RSP staff, they were fly guy. Oh my gosh, their costumes were so funny. They all had the wings and the hu was darling. Um Mr. Foya's class, man, they were so
030original. So she was Miss Frizzle. So that's her in the picture on the left. Oh my gosh, she was darling. And then they were uh various characters from Magic School Bus. I don't have all the pictures representative of the crayons crayons, but TK and K, they were all um the day the crayons quit. And so, yeah, we had practically every crayon color in the box. Um our RTI teachers, they were Pete the Cat and his four groovy Buttons, Mrs. Dent, her lovely xylophone. It actually played music. It was the funniest thing. So, she turned it on and Yeah, it was >> It lights up, too, right? Is it lit up? >> Yes. and it lit up. Yeah, it was hilarious. Um, fourth and fifth grade, they did I don't know if you know the 67
031me that's going around and so they were all haunted by 67. [laughter] Lots of fun in the classrooms, kids making little yummy things for their parties, and then of course lots of different um Halloween themed worksheets and and just fun activities really. So you can see the kids and Miss Mrs. Valdez's class, they did a black white dance party for their Halloween party. And so that's them getting together for that. Mrs. Mills class outside and getting ready for the parade. We have a fantastic parade and we do it every year. I think next year we're going to expand it to include all frames. It's just been TK through 2nd and it seems like the big kids all want to come over and watch. And so next year we're we've uh we were talking and we've
032worked on a way to expand it to the whole school. So that should be exciting. And so you can see just families here having fun getting involved. Uh November we've gotten into some heavy lifting. We've started piloting curriculum. So we're starting with the positivity project and so we will be piloting that through um winter break. And so that's it's been great. the the teachers have really enjoyed it. It's pretty easy to implement and we've had some good um [clears throat] success with that. We worked on um adopting a vision statement for OES and we honored our veterans. Um so I'll show you those. So, we had a vision statement workshop and the three vision statements that um like groups came up with um I compiled their ideas and developed three vision statements and so we're
033in the process of voting on them and the votes are due this Friday. So, I can't wait to see what it's going to be. But they all work really hard to come up with some great vision statements. Um and this is just warms my heart. So, uh, Erica Valdez, her family runs or owns a TOPS military supply in Clovis. And so, she had invited all of the classrooms to make Veterans Day cards and then they handed them out at TOPS Military Supply. So, altogether, OES made about 150 uh, cards and, um, they were all distributed. And so here's some fun pictures of of veterans receiving their card. So that was really cool. It just, you know, shows our our kiddos the importance of gratitude and and recognizing service. Yeah. So that was super awesome. So
034that's, you know, OES uh in the fall trimester in a nutshell. We will be doing the superintendence report tonight. 12 board member comments. >> Yeah, I put a little post-it note [clears throat] on there for my comments and now it's gone. Oh well. Um, hi. Um, I'll impromptu instead. Uh, we had our um board member workshop in October. I found it to be um very useful and helpful and I think it was a good use of our time and I'm hoping that we can do that again at some point in the future. Um we worked on our mission statement as well, our vision and goals. Um we discussed focusing on finance because we want to make Terara's job as easy as possible and the more educated we are about it, the more we can support
035make sure that our money is supporting the um student outcomes. And so we're going to um at least I'm going to focus on finance. Um I noticed on our warrants that we had a DSA um project close out. So that means that we can move forward on some other No, just a payment. >> That was just a payment. >> Dang it. Okay. >> I noticed there was purchases for Battle of the Books. So I love that we are doing that again and um that we adopted some history curriculum. So >> that was awesome. >> I think that um hopefully everybody's [clears throat] happy with history and that process was fairly smooth and easily revealed what everyone's preference was. But um anyway, I think that we are um definitely focused on student achievement. I know that
036um that presentation of Oh yes, I was like, "Yeah, I want to go to that school. That looks like a lot of fun." So, thank you all for um all the effort and time and creativity and sleepless nights that every single staff member probably um endures. And as we know, even MOT is probably has sleepless nights because we're hearing it from outside sources. So, um, anyway, I just I'm really proud to be on the board for Bass Lake and I appreciate every single member of our staff and thank you for all that you do for all the kids in our community. That's all I have. >> I know really how do I follow that? Um, I also enjoyed the workshop, the board workshop that we did. We got together and spent a Saturday. spent about
037four or five hours together and uh it was good team building and and you know helping us direct our focus and and um set goals and intentions and I I look forward to doing more of that as well. Um Julie and I attended a little symposium is what I'm going to call it and was it in Stannis County? I don't remember. It was a couple hours away. >> San was San District. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. Sanwaqen. That's right. >> Anyway, it was um it was great to go and hear um the chief legal counsel for CSBA um talk about some of the um new policies that are you know that we are going to be asked to uh approve and you know the rationale behind it and it was very informative and I don't think
038it it also aligns with finances because the more we know about being compliant with the law and adopting policies that will keep us compliant with the law will also keep legal fees down. So, um it was important and it was good and I feel like we got some good resources out of it and um and it was a 4hour drive round trip for a 2-hour meeting, but it was completely worth it and um so I'm really glad we attended that. And [clears throat] um with it being Thanksgiving week, thank you. We are very thankful for all of you guys. or Thanksgiving month, not week, but um anyway, so grateful that we have such a great awesome school and or schools, multiple schools, and thank you for all you do. And that's all I have. >>
039Steve, thank you. Um I don't have any comments tonight. I was thinking of just talking, but I'll spare you. [laughter] >> I'll use this time. >> Um, so it's been busy for me. Um, October, November. So, I've been doing the masters in governance training. So, I had two full days of finance. And you might think, gosh, how boring is that? But honestly, it was really dynamic. And I learned so much just about how the budget's put together. And you know, I I mean, I've learned a lot from Tara, but it kind of just drilled it all down for me. And because I have experience with Tara, it kind of all came together in a really positive way for me. And then also made me appreciate Terra, I've already shared this with you, just how how
040much information that she gives to us and how good she is at bringing down the level for us, you know, non- finance people to understand finances. >> It's fun. It's like a puzzle. [clears throat and laughter] It actually I have to say I I found it fun fun kind of dread it but no it was it was really informative. Um then I also had um a session on human resources and another one on collective bargaining. So um then you know we had our workshop which um I can echo that I also thought that was incredibly valuable and look forward to spending more time um you know developing ourselves as a board developing our skills um developing our vision and and our agendas for moving forward to help student outcomes. And then today I helped out
041in the garden which is always super fun. And uh beyond that, I visited classrooms afterwards. So basically spent the day at Western which was really great. And you know just seeing how the teachers interact with students. um you know, I saw a lot of respectful behavior and I got to sit in on a fly um lesson which was really informative and really enjoyed it. Watching watching a skilled teacher do what a skilled teacher can do is just an incredible thing to watch. And Jennifer Tune is incredibly skilled and just seeing what they do naturally without even thinking about it to you know if you have a kid that's being a little squirly and then lowering the voice and she has um a little system where she puts a a little mark on there. they have
042a little card and if they're doing something positive then she puts a little mark on the card which immediately then centers their behavior. She's just magic. So anyway, that was incredible and um also happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope you enjoy time with your families and and thank you for all you do. >> Yeah. So I too enjoyed the board workshop that we had with [clears throat] Michelle Townsen as well as we had all read the book the culture code. It was about the secrets to having successful groups and I thought that was a very good discussions and talked about our mission statement. So, we're still working on that, our vision and mission statement. So, I think that was a good time of bonding. Julie even said she loved us. Wow. >> That was really cool.
043[laughter] >> And um and our church had a trunk or treat uh for the kids on Halloween night and saw a lot of the students and their families from here. We had about 600 uh people come through. So that was a really successful night. I got to dress up as a ladybug. So that was fun. My wings and um what else? Oh, and I just wanted to wish everybody a very wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for all that you do. I know you teachers, principals, everyone here, our our district office works so very very hard, gives gives truly from your heart and soul. You know, it's a very difficult job. So I just want to say thank you. I want to say thank you very much. Okay. And next thing here, future agenda items. Do we
044have anything you'd like to do on the next meeting? >> Didn't we talk about having our statement that you were going to try to take a look at that and maybe work on it? Oh, yeah. Like a meeting after the meeting. >> Oh, after the meeting cuz Michelle knows that's good. So you wanted to have another meeting you were saying. >> No, no, no.
