Everybody seemed excited to come back because, you know, we do all these things at CT. So, it's really fun. Um, we've had three students graduate so far in the first semester. I kind of forgot that name. Sorry. Um, and hopefully more this semester, too. Yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to the trip. Yeah, I'm glad my classmates get to experience it. >> It's a really cool trip. >> That's about it. >> So, what did you do at Riverside? The the >> uh they just gave us like a little tour and they had like uh you were able to go in some like inside some of
006the aircrafts as well. So, it's pretty cool. And then we went outside and just a bunch of like inactive uh aircrafts that were, you know, used in war. I thought it was pretty cool because I'm into that. So >> So you went to the air museum, too. >> Yeah. >> It's a nice little area. >> Mhm. >> Uh so of all the trips you've taken so far this year, which one's been the best so far? >> The best one, >> I'd say the one in Palm Springs, the uh the tram. >> Yeah, that's cool.

Yeah. >> You guys are welcome to stay, but you can go home, too. >> Thanks so much. Updated. >> Okay. Item nine, the public hearing section. Three cards. So, we'll now open the public comment period to this meeting. Um, I invite you, anyone wishing to address government board on any item that is within the subject matter of the jurisdiction of the governing board to do so at this time. I have three cards. Like I said, we value your input and welcome your comments. Each speaker will be allotted three minutes to speak in a total of 20 minutes allocated for the item. Please note that under the Brown Act, the board cannot take action on
008items not on the agenda unless specific conditions are met, such as urgent matters or the need for immediate action. Public comments are an opportunity to share your views with the board, not to engage in the debate or question and answer session.

Please refrain from using offensive or discriminatory language, personal attacks against individuals, including board members, staff, or members of the public are prohibited. These procedures are not designed to restrict public criticism of policies, procedures, programs, or services of the district or the acts or missions of the governing board. And there's a legal reference. So, we'll start off with today my comments. Um, first of all, it tickles me when I hear
009the kids talk about all the good stuff that they do. And that's why, you know, part of us, excuse me, concerned about other stuff that they're exposed to. But tonight, um, person that's going to follow me is someone that many of you know. He's was a teacher here and very involved in the community. And he's one of the men who offered to look at one of the books that I had purchased that was going to speak to you about that today. and he asked me to u pass out these things because he doesn't want to some of the things that he was concerned about. So I can either pass or two board members and to m of course and I thank you. you know, we we really have wanted to present ourselves as just wanting
010to enhance what artist is. And that's why, you know, we've been persistent. And I know sometimes I feel like we're just um pain in the neck, but we do try to do some positive things for the district. You know, I appreciate everything and And that's all I have to say. >> Okay. >> Thank you, Bobby. >> Um guys, I want to talk to you about this book. Um this book is called Looking for Alaska. And Bobby asked me to read read it. And so what I handed out to you was just a couple of excerpts from the book. Um, this book was written by John Green and it was published in 2005. The setting is the Culver Creek Prep School in Alabama. And the guy who is the main character in first person is a
011guy named Miles Halter. But as you're reading that on your handout, he's called Pudge. So if you see it, Pudge, he's the main character. And so the main character was in a um public school until he was 11th grader. He didn't have any friends. His mom and dad put him in a private school. And in private school, he gets a roommate. And his roommate is named the Colonel. And the colonel then introduces him to the cutest, curviest girl in the school um who is Alabama and or Alaska. And Alaska is the girl who can hook you up with cigarettes and alcohol and and so they form a friendship through putting uh playing pranks on the adults in the school who are a bunch of dimwits who um the kids always art out, you know, are
012much smarter than the adults. And so my thing with this is there was a se this guy's a good writer but there's a section that I shared with you guys that I didn't even go into the graphic section because if I read it to you it would be a violation of me reading it here uh with your guidelines. But yet we have it in our public in our high school and young girls can get this. The only two women in the book are women who are very involved with um very advanced sexual things and there and so the implication to a young girl would be if if they read the book. I have eight granddaughters. I wouldn't want and they range from 24 to three. I wouldn't want one of them reading this book. And
013yet it's in our high school library. And so, uh, when you read that, just keep in mind like, would my daughter would I want my daughter to be reading this book? Um, and honestly, this book shouldn't be in our high school library, I don't think. Um, and so I hate when people come and complain and they never give a way to deal with it. um you know what if you had a committee of six people um who were all uh exed educators and they had they were retired. I would even volunteer to be on that committee even though I hate committees. Um and and by the way, God bless you guys for doing your job. I can't imagine having to come here every Wednesday. Driving me crazy, but uh so God bless you guys for
014doing this. Um, but what if you had a committee of people who when new books were introduced to the high school, they read them, then they gave the board a recommendation whether or not they should be in the high school. That's my two cents. >> Okay, last card. DB, >> he's not here. He's >> I wouldn't want to disappoint you guys by leaving. early public school. I'm DB goldransson atgmail.com as a citizen as a parent grandparent with nine kids up to 28. Not as a partisan. Absolutely not. as an and not as an enemy of education. Big Bear is a diverse community. Many of our families are Mexican and Latino. They came here uh for the same reason many generations before them did, to work, to raise their children, and for opportunity. Teachers are entrusted
015to teach knowledge. Parents are entrusted to to teach values. When those lines blur, everyone loses, especially children. I want to anchor in the words of Martin Luther King Jr. because his visions are often quoted but rarely followed especially today very rarely followed Dr. King said, "Judge me not by the color of my skin, but the content content of my character." That seems to be lost nowadays. That's old school. I guess that is a call to individual dignity, not racial sorting. It's a warning against defining children by group identity instead of ability, effort, and character. He said, "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." Ah, no kidding. I take that as a warning to institutions, not in not children, not parents, that good institutions are not enough. today under the
016banners like DEI and progressive education and things like hate speech and stuff that you guys have no business getting your nose into. Children are sorted by race, identity, taught before um competence, lower expectations. Why is that? That does not empower students. It limits them. Dr. King did not fight so children could be taught they are victims. He taught them that they could be taught to be capable which that's your guys's job. But some of the crap I see including that book there wrap it up. 3 minutes is up. >> It is. >> Yes. >> I thought you said another 15 minutes. >> No. Okay, moving on. Item 10 is the consent calendar. Motion to approve it. >> All in favor? >> No. Unanimous. >> No items to the consent calendar. So, Mr. Turner Marquez, employing
017announcements. >> Sure. I don't think we have any of these people here, but we'll go through them to honor them and welcome them. Uh, in classified, we have a cafeteria worker, Amanda. Uh, Amanda brings a strong background in hospitality to the nutrition uh, nutrition child nutrition team along with the commitment to customer service and teamwork. We're excited to welcome her uh, and she know she will be a great asset to our students and staff. At Northshore, we have a one to one mod two one month severe aids. Our first one is Jessica Jaffy. She has been a new duty aid with Northshore since the start of the school year. While supporting the mod severe class, she discovered a passion for assisting students in special education and will be a great addition to that team. Also,
018one mod severe is Aaron Gibbons. Uh Aaron, she has served as a classified substitute and recently began a long-term assignment in the mods class at Northshore. We are delighted to welcome him as a member of the uh Northshore team. instructional aid at Northshore, Ernestina Van Venuela. Ernestina has been with BBUSD since 2018, first at Big Bear Elementary and then at Northshore. She is currently pursuing her teaching credential and we are thrilled to welcome her back as an instructional aid. Um, new duty aid at Baldwin Lane, Tara Poke. Uh, Tara previously served as a new duty aid at Northshore Elementary where she supported students and staff with consistency in care. We are pleased to welcome her to the Baldwin team lane. all the main team and look forward to experience she brings to our conference. >>
019She's cross country coach. >> Yes. She's also a coach. >> Okay. >> Back to me. Yes, I think so. Um just a few things here. Um today I was able Laura and I were able to go out for a minute to the ski program because we're getting through that even though there's not much snow. Um but Ted Alejandre uh our county superintendent came for a visit as well. Mr. Sahime came up to see mainly the adaptive ski program because the adaptive ski is part of that with the county class which is another county. So he came to kind of see that. We went out, we greeted him and it was nice and they took a bunch of photo walks and all that kind of stuff that the county would do. Um but it was really
020nice that they came up to visit for us and to honor a really incredible collaborative program community collaborative between us and Beare Mountain. And I talked a little about you know $5 ski passes, all the things that we do to encourage the students within our community to be involved. So it was really nice visit. It was great. they do. And once again, honor to um Big Bear Mountain Resorts for what they do there and the and the ski instructors are genuinely gifted with what they do with kids because we the teachers prepare, but then once they're there, you know, the teachers manage, you know, any behaviors or anything they need support with, but the ski instructors really take over and they really get them all set up. So, wonderful program. I want to make sure
021we audit that. >> Mr. Marquez, did you know that one of our board members is a adaptive ski? >> That's I'm probably going to have to talk to you because now they want to expand the program. Um the county is asking if they can start bringing people up from other areas um to make it more. So they said they said, "Well, hey, you know, we want to bring kids up." She was so excited. Stephanie, if I remember the name right, um Stephanie from that oversees it, some of the programs is looking to bring more students from down the hill up here to be a part of this. >> Well, I'll get you in touch with the director. >> Perfect. Uh she was really excited because I got a call from her later. She was so
022appreciative and so she says it was just she was she say she said it was the best day ever. It was just so wonderful and she I just can't believe something like that exists. We didn't know, you know, the county really didn't even know something like that existed with the adaptive. >> My oldest son went through the program are amazing. Uh but they also have a summer program at the lake that they should. >> Perfect. I think they were excited to be able to try to bring their Perfect. All right. I know I go be right there. Okay. Perfect. Um, also, um, Brian and I were able to go out, um, to a soccer game and where they honored Miss Script. It was a real quick thing that they did and we went out there
023for a minute that they did it during halftime. Um, and they just what they said, you could tell was I don't know who wrote the speech cuz they did it over the last five minute things. We'll be retiring this year. And the speech was so well done. It was read by Mike Benson. He did such a good job reading it. and everything that they said and what she's done for the soccer program for the girls soccer program especially has been you know she set a standard and it was really just incredible woman for Miss Griff everyone deserves to go out there you know with that kind of exit and that kind of honor and it really was sweet what they did was just something very small very quick but it it was poignant and it
024was powerful so it's really nice to be a part of that and they were able to make a trip out there to see that um you know we discussed a little bit as we're talking about board planning process And just so the board knows, part of the process as we look towards that um that's what we're going to try to do for March is one of the things I'm doing is going around to the schools and having more open honest conversations with leadership teams with with the smaller groups, not the whole staff, but with leadership teams. And I was able to get Northshore in the other day and it was great. And it was just where we discussed what are your great Yeah, we can always celebrate. There is so much to celebrate and the
025wonderful things we do here, but we also know there are challenges that must be active and ongoing whether it's fiscal where it's ELD and and the growth or SP growth, all these different things and how we look at that. And it was nice just to talk to the teachers and let them voice and let them have honest just me and them. It wasn't even anybody else in the room but me and the teachers um to be able to voice what their concerns were um what their concerns were for the district. We're not just talking about the little things, but we're talking about greater concerns and how we move this district forward to be able to look at challenges and then be okay. I told him, now I'm going to come back. You we spent 45
026minutes talking about challenges. Now, I'm going to come back in a few weeks and we're going to talk about you're going to help give them how we solve it because saying challenge is one thing. Helping us solve it is another. And we need everyone's dialogue in that. So, it's a great conversation we started there. I meet with Bald Lane. I'm going to be meeting with ELD aids. I'm going to meeting with all the different groups, all of our stakeholders within our district here to be able to say what are our greatest challenges and that way we have an honest conversation and how and then that way that's something we can present to the board. We can do surveys and these sense but to me it's not the same as getting those conversations in where everybody
027has a stake in there and they can share what their concerns are. great conversations, great starts so far with that and that way I'll be be able to bring that information forward genuinely what their concerns are and I've asked the same um my my cabinet team what are your greatest challenges we'll sit as a group and say okay this is what we believe and this is how we're going to attack it these are our goals so a great start so far um to have a very honest conversation uh we attended governor's budget uh Jess and me and and Brian attended governor's budget and it's it's going to be interesting it's going to be an adventure the budget. Um there we still feel like we're very I always feel very fortunate in this. I hear about
028other districts and we all do of where we are fiscally and we're still a fiscally solvent district when we feel solid but we still have to make smart decisions to maintain that. Um you know we looked at cola cola dropped a little bit and we're having to take all this stuff into consideration as Jess works on she's you know ankle she's neck deep right now in second interim um trying to get all that accomplished. So, it was an interesting conversation, but there's so many pieces that go into how much money we might receive in Prop, you know, Prop 28 and everything else and what's going on there. But it was an interesting conversation al together what we learned at the governor's commission. But we make sure to keep up on that stuff just so Jess
029can properly um otherwise we have parent advisory. um parent advisory, they're always a great group and you know Brian came and presented a little bit of what he's presenting to you this evening just talking about ALCAP a little bit getting their input on ALCAP um but they always have concerns and one of the topics that came up is they would like to make sure and they would want me to present back to them on what are we doing as far as our CTE programs um they were really curious like in little things like they were just what can we do to expand like our real world speaker how do we get kids more involved and what are we doing as far they were curious more about what do we do as far as career day?
030What does career look like? Some parents don't really realize what it looks like at both the middle school and the high school. So, I'm going to explain everything what we're doing because they were very curious on how are we encouraging students to look at different careers or to have people come in to speak. Um, and they were curious if we could do more of that. And that's something I'll discuss with principles both middle and high school if that's something we're interested in doing. But they had some great input on that because it was something they collectively as a group they were really interested in getting a little bit more aggressive with that and encouraging students careers. Good conversation otherwise I think that's it for me. Okay, board member reports. Who wants to start? >> I
031went to my daughter is a principal in Ohigh, California of a middle school and I went to visit her and her school and um I don't know where she learned all the stuff she does, but wow. It was pretty um it it was pretty interesting to see your daughter in that role and just really knock it to death. I mean, she really had it down. And it was um you could tell by the way, and I noticed this when I visit the schools here, you could tell by the way the people speak, the teachers speak to each other in the hall and the aids and the adults and the kids. you could tell sort of the the happiness quotient and the ease quotient and the fact that no one's restricted and there's no none of
032that. It's all very relaxed and um I I spent two days there and was really impressed and the school is very impressive and I don't know I just it was exciting. I think we're equally as good at it. It's just that it was my daughter. So I was a little prejudice. >> She was a bigger high school graduate. So she learned from the best. >> Okay. All right. Uh just I think week and a half ago there was uh auditions for the San Bernardino County Orchestra. That's um uh high school, junior high, and and middle school. And I think every kid that tried out for it from Big Bear made it >> the and and it's gonna it's the entire county. So, a lot of kids and and our kids did well. I I know
033I don't have all the names, but I know uh Grace Chung, her sister Angie, um Orion, I forget his last name. His mom has the dance studio here. He made it. uh Jesse Coer, uh my daughter Jane, and then for middle school, Ryan Chung, and I think uh Josh Kenty Wayne. It's a really cool program. They have three uh rehearsals um at Cal State Sanino, which in itself uh this is the first year they're doing that on a college campus. I think that's good exposure for the kids. And then uh the performance will be uh at uh University of Redlands if anyone's interested. >> How many kids do they take into the orchestra? >> I don't know. Um I know for like cello there was a ton of kids that um that uh tried out
034and I think they got 10. So, but I saw more than 10 when Jane went to audition. So, and it's the auditions and stuff. It's it was with um educators from all over the county. So, it was really neat. You know, they had scoring and stuff. So, it was really cool. >> And Grace Chung did really well. I think she's like second chair or something like that. >> Let us know. >> Yeah, I will for sure. Okay, >> I'm glad you brought up the adaptive thing because I was just thinking I I do more training aspect of it. Obviously, I'm not in the day-to-day operations up there. Uh, but it's a great program and I just assume that they were tapping Sanino because you see districts come from San Diego, from Powe, from all over
035the place. I figured the county knew about it, just chose not to come. But good for >> Sometimes it's, you know, a cycling of people in and out. sometimes maybe somebody else didn't know about it before and she just, you know, the current person just didn't wasn't aware. She was just she was so inspired to hear her talk today. She was just like, "This is just the absolute." >> It's a great program and I remember when I teaching there and volunteering there that with school business in particular when they're younger, I mean, you forget what an amazing experience that is. Not only skiing, but they're coming up and seeing snow for the first time, a lot of them. And uh the therapeutic value of learning something totally new, totally foreign in a totally different place
036is something that uh the teachers would mention uh after being up here that uh that that was really really helpful as far as their IEP goals uh uh helping them learn the skills to uh do different things in life. Uh so and do it in a fun way, a good way to introduce them to it. So that's great. Definitely make sure director reach out to the county again. >> Yeah. And if they're doing it for free, I mean, >> yeah, >> it's it's a bargain, I can tell you. But it's not cheap. >> If you're paying for your kid to go through, I can tell you from experience, but if they're doing it for free, that's amazing. >> They they wanted to be able to offer to more students through the county. >> It's all
037one to one or two to one instruction, you know, you don't get that in this school. So, >> unless it's 500 hours for >> Yes. That's basically what you're getting is a private lesson for free. So they pay very little and even when general public comes in and subsidize. So >> yeah, it's a nonprofit. >> Monday night I went to the Sanino County School Board Association Golden Bell award ceremony annually. Um and they just celebrate different programs. or five recipients um in the county and um you know they do a little presentation or video and they ring the golden bell but it it's it's kind of an exciting program because it does really celebrate the good programs that are happening at different school districts and as you're talking about the third grade um ski program
038it's definitely something we should think about and consider for next year um because I think that would fall in line very much very closly kind of um schools that are getting getting these awards, but it's always fun to celebrate good stuff as you mentioned earlier. >> Okay. Um yeah, I spent quite a few days with Mr. Marquez, been to all schools except um from the basement of the middle school to the attic of the Northshore. Um and all the classrooms. Um the the biggest surprise I think was the locker room at the middle school is almost exactly the same as it looked when I went there in high school. We've had a lot of discussion about that. >> Yeah. But anyway, it was it was, you know, I getting the vibe of each school and
039it was a little different in in each school and going to all the classrooms and it was a good experience and I I appreciated it and Manny and I had a chance to talk about, you know, various issues ranging from facilities things to, you know, anything. And so it was it was a good That's good for me. Um, moving on to 14, we have the first reading and adoption of governing board policy updates. >> I'll make the motion to adopt. >> Not to adopt for the first reading. >> First reading and adoption. Second. Any discussion? >> All in favor? >> I know. It's unanimous. Item 15A, the second reading and adoption of the 2026 27 instructional minutes bel schedules for Bear Valley. >> I'll make the motion to approve it. >> Second. Any discussion? All
040in favor? >> I unanimous. >> You going to say something? >> Yeah. It's going to suck for me next year getting up earlier. >> Just so the board knows. It's only 25 minutes. >> I'm getting there will be a letter going out um on Friday that we be that making sure everyone is aware time so that we have prepare accordingly. He did the I drafted the letter and then my cabinet looked through making sure we're meeting all the needs. I had to run it through one of my parents staff members in the making sure it made sense to parents. So making sure they're fully informed of what we're doing and what next year looks like so they can make arrangements according. >> So that's not going to be the big issue. I think the big
041issue is the lane start every weekffecties >> and that's what's in there. That's that's part of the letter is the explanation of that and the the why and giving the parents the why and giving them the opportunity to understand why we're looking towards something like this. Um so we're we're sending all that information out as early as possible and making sure we're communicating and working >> and coordinating with Oscar. we have coordinate and I do mention that and there that we're going to coordinate with uh with the services and that are prepared to provide those services um and Oscar is totally prepared. I didn't want to but you know I don't want to speak for them too much in my letter but yes we have had more than one conversation with me on Oscar as
042well what they're prepared to support and what we have to look at as a cabinet what we need to look at for supporting the sites and supporting teachers because they have children all those pieces that are impacted we have to consider all >> you'll send us a copy of the letter when you send out >> yes okay >> there's your first complaint Yeah, I know. I get that call first. >> Okay. 15B for the midyear update for the >> All right. So, um we're just going to take a minute tonight to kind of explain where we're at. Every year in February, we're required by statute to kind of just review where we're at with expenditures in alignment with the capital approved 2526 that was approved over the summer by both the our school board as
043well as the county office. Um the board agenda, there's an attachment with all the expenditures and all the data and all the goals. I'm just going to spend a few minutes going over a couple of the highlights. You'll find when you look through those expenditures, many of it aligns, you know, we're about halfway through the year. We spend about half of the money, right? Um some of them we haven't spent very much because we pay out at the end of the year. Some of it we spend all the money because it's a subscription that we have to purchase at the beginning of the year, right? So, this is just kind of a brief overview of our goals and where we're at in the LCAP process. Uh nothing needs to be voted on tonight. This is
044just for the board's information and we'll be informative as we move forward with the next LCAP cycle 2627. So kind like I said for ed code we need to present the LCAP with the data related metrics and all the expenditures that is in attached to the uh board agenda. So all the data and all the dollars you could ever imagine are all there waiting for you. Happy to answer any questions if you have any of that. So um as far as our LCAP process goes, we start with data collection and review. We spent a lot of time on that in the fall. Right now, we're engaging our stakeholders, our parents, our students, our staff, um, as well as providing you with this midyear update. We're going to take all that information and all of our
045data that we collected, and we're going to write the 26 27 LCAP based off of that information. We have one more year of this LCAP cycle because it's a three-year cycle. So, we'll maintain the same goals, more or less the same actions. Um and then we'll look for a little bit more of a revamp for the following school year. So all of our LCAPS and all of our actions and all of our um expenditures are split up by our goals of what we've said as a district. Our first goal is to present increase the percent of students who are on track to graduate college and career ready. This is our academic goal. We look at things like um A throughG completion rates, pathway completion, our state testing, uh both the percentage of students who've met
046the standard as well as how our groups of students are, what their distance is from the standard. So looking at the students as a whole, how far are we from the standard, our graduation rate as well as our um AP exam rate, the significant expenditures that go into this, um our TK3 grades span adjustment and our instructional support grades 412, they're kind of the same thing. Um just different ratios. Basically, we're funding extra teachers to bring down class sizes. Um curricular licenses that we purchase, whether it's I Ready, those sorts of things. uh professional development, all of our intervention personnel. Um this includes the intervention teachers at Northshore of Baldwin um as well as the different interventions uh at the other sites. Um our independent study personnel because this is another way that we can
047access as well as our AVID implementation which is something we're really looking to to beef up as we move forward. Um really the only item in goal one where there's been a significant change up to this point is we have increased the spending on curriculum licenses. Submit K12 is one that came in that we spent a lot more money on. A lot of it is just um increase in cost of the licenses that we have. Um but we we do have a little bit of an increase there but other than that the goal is pretty well on track. Um for goal two provide an educational state that's conducive to learning. This is where we look at our suspension rates, our expulsion rates, um how safe are our campuses, things like that. This is where we
048fund our safety assistance, health aids counselors, deans, support specialists, um our curriculum, and our uh secondary counselors, and our CT social worker. Um significant adjustments in this goal is we did increase our social emotional curriculum expenditures as a result of the community schools. We have um some to grow at all of the sites except for Baldwin right now. Not only do they provide the social emotional curriculum, they also provide training for the teachers and also help us with some of the compliance measures for the community schools grant. So that kind of explains what that is. Um and then we did have from what was budgeted an increase in uh safety expend assistant expenditures. I think that's and we kind of see this later on uh our E goal as well. We're actually full of staff
049now which is hasn't happened, you know, in quite a while. For cap goal three, it's our family and student engagement. We're looking at dropout rates, graduation rates, attendance rates, chronic absentee rates for SIM students who are college and career ready. Um things that we look at that we fund through this school is our onetoone technology for all the students as well as all a lot of our extracurricular um the EWA program intermission enrichment um our athletics our uh visual and performing arts college and career readiness dual enrollment and you know additional transportation because the base transportation funding isn't enough for for our district. Um we do see that the athletic transportation is under budget for where we've um to this point in the year. We also did see a significant increase in intervention and enrichment
050and that's from the ELOG program. We have a lot of funding through the ELOG program. A lot of the sites are um increasing their offerings for all the students um in increasing their offerings for all the students in the uh across all the sites. And so that's leading to more this would be their program or the hours for the staff or things like that. >> Can I can I absolutely for a second on on this side in the previous slide? Okay. There was no mention of dual enrollment. I mean got dual enrollment fees are the expenditure but the relevant data seems like we would have some data on dual enrollment participation. So the the tricky part with that and that's that has to do with the dual enrollment cycle that we're in. This was originally
051written three years ago when we didn't have when dual enrollment was just getting off of the ground. I have to pull the data and we have to look at the same data for three years. So I when this was built dual enrollment was kind of in its fledgling stages and we didn't have it. When we do the next cycle we will absolutely be have you know percent of students involved in dual enrollment um you know percent of classes taken how many students attain all the that data because then that can be my baseline year and then we can build three years of data from that. How do you get the data if if a kid gets Kel Gettsy? >> Well, we we really would. So, there's a couple of ways. First off, if they do
052it within our four walls before they graduate, right, that's easier to track for us. Um, we do have some met monitoring tools that the county gives us. That is something that our system's going to have to get a little bit better at catching. Honestly, we get all the transcripts from um we get all of the transcripts from the community college that's transferred onto their high school transcript. So, we are going to have to find a way so we're not having to do it. I we don't have a cohort that's gotten there yet, but when they do, we don't want the site admin to have to go through transcript by transcript and do it. We're going to have to rely on our SIS and developing a tool to pull that data for us. The reason I
053asked is I I hope it's not just pulling from um Craft or Sanino Valley because I know at least two students are going to Victor Valley. >> Right. Yeah. And ultimately we're going to be limited by the data that we get. I we automatically get the transcripts from Valley and Craftton. We don't necessarily if the students provide us those transcripts or we know they're taking so we know to follow up with the student that's you know that's that's going to be imperfect. >> Yeah. And as we head to auto students, too, as far as the transcripts, cuz >> I my kids walk them in and >> Oh, no. Every at the end of each grading period, the community colleges send a a file to me to site Adam and the counselors at the high school.
054>> Okay. We'll talk later about why the transcripts aren't updated. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? >> No. Um, our LCAP goal four is our English learners. Um, and so it's it's similar to all of the things that we're looking at for all of our students, but we know this is a highly need population. So, we make it one of our own goals. This is our district e coordinator, our coordinators at our sites, our bilingual aids, um, Dr. Crow, our parent community leaison, as well as our e curriculum. Um, increase spending on the bilingual aids. Again, that's, you know, we had historical numbers. We're now fully staffed. So we are spending a little bit more and then back to that EL software we are spending a little bit more money on on those things. And
055then finally our last goal is um Shiakwa is a equity multiplier school because of the high turnover we get a little bit more money for Shiakwa specifically. So we have to have a goal for Shiakwa specifically and how we're spending that money. Um, and so we're looking at the graduation rate, the college and career readiness, that suspension rate specifically at Shiakqua. Um, it's not a lot of money, but we were looking at literary supports, the creation of the wellness center and the math and ELA instructional coaches. The biggest change in this goal is we pivoted away from the math and ELA instructional coaches for the teachers and we funded the student support specialist um, Chris Leong to provide more direct services to the students. So that's the biggest change. So if you see the map
056in the LA structural coaches on the table say zero dollars is because we pivoted to spend that somewhere else. >> It'd be nice to have the uh dual enrollment there as well. >> Yeah. And we'll look at that as we look towards a new cycle next year and putting that all in as a goal and everything to start tracking that as well within the outcome. >> Do we have kids in CT in in room? >> There's no reason we can't. >> Well, I was asking the president president. I have to check with the site uh to see if it would it's certainly open to them whether they're taking advantage of it or whether we're pushing them towards it. I think that's a question answer to that. In early December, Warren didn't know if that was
057>> All right. And that's that's basically it. If you have any questions about where we're at for the expenditures, this was just an update. There's nothing to vote on. Um, but just wanted to fill in the board where we were at on the process. >> When are your next public meetings again? >> I'm sorry. >> When are your next public meetings again when you're meeting with community members? >> Um, we just wrapped up our first cycle which is with the students, the parents, and um the EL parents. We did those three groups. Um, we're going to do another round of that in the spring in March. And then we'll have a big meeting before that where we're going to bring all of the community all all of the input from all the different groups to
058the big activity. >> Yeah, Brad came to the student group and the parent my parent group and the student and my student group at the high school both of them present the >> Sorry and the kids are pretty questions. Thank you. Thank you. >> Okay. Do we have any suggestions for future meeting agendas?
