004with, if you didn't know, I began my time in the district of Belfuila. This or no more was in this I was in This elementary school from kindergarten to sixth grade grade, but he was also part of the first dual dual classes that were implemented on the team. If they don't know what it is dual immersion, I'm going to use as promotion eh the immersion program Dual is a program that makes competent in English and Spanish for dividing its time from kindergarten to sixth grade in the resume in both languages. By For example, when I was in kindergarten, uh The regular curriculum was divided by 90%. Spanish and 10% English. I know that many Many of you also think, "Well, what about you?" "How is he going to learn English?" My mother He thought that

005too. But as we move on to the 3-year mark school, the margin begins to close between English and Spanish up to the 5050. And if you think about it, of the Young people go home speaking English, around people who speak English. If they constantly hear the language, the The program is for rapid acclimatization to the new language, so as they grow up they makes one incompetent. a couple of photos of my time as an eagle, a pair of teachers I loved very much, ma'am Julin, uh uh Mrs. Garcia Garcia for For example, I didn't get to all of my education is predominant until I became a monsun now that I am lawyer. I remember that in the High school gave me the step Success helped me adapt to the new team It's before entering school

006preparatory. In high school he was part of the student association and part of the class in continuing in dual immersion to the team. With this I think that Getting to high school was going to be more easy to get involved, eventually this expand my repertoire that allows me to reach my extracurricular activities. Something that I think makes this more Oh, how lovely the school is to be involved. It has very good programs great. There are a couple of programs that I They stay there when things get tough. hard.

Although the board meetings are not public, are open to the public. Individual speakers have 3 minutes to give his word and will limit himself to 21 minutes as described in the law 93.2. Unless otherwise stated, the board of directors. Come on, it can happen Main here Good evening, President Garza, Board members, present Dr. Simen and district staff. I am Kim Asen and I've been in the district for over 30 years in primary education and I am here for to present what is happening with the behavior aids. They are capturing their hearts to to create relationships, but it's being said that the behavior helpers They will move every 6

046months from their squads starting on the first of June. He asked me why the The teachers were not asked, The students didn't ask him. So, Where is the communication located? How will this benefit the staff, students? How will it be? effective for establishing relationships with Students and staff? Students who feel deregulated They need consistency and stability. The current fronts have established the relationships necessary to deregulate and prevent matters from escalating and They know which issues to learn first. to find out which ones need support and Moving them isn't the best thing to do. all. So please let establish their relationships with the students and staff and keep them in one place for at least a year, if not for more. We were also told that those assistants They are required to work during the summer.

047Teachers can work in in the summer if they want to apply. So why aren't the assistants... Are you giving him this option? This will never happen It was a stipulation previously. So why his contract and the Is language suddenly changing? Personally, uh recently a meeting of special education allowed him to give contribution and leadership the district told them that if they weren't Okay, they could leave. And if each voice Listen to how our motto is said, So why the assistants of Their behavior is not being listening. My assistant is always present, always learning and doing more than which it should and does by supporting with a positive attitude and a smile. This committed to helping students every day, and this makes the My staff and I are sad because he and the others are not

048being valued. TO The teachers told him last year that He was going to have an assistant from behavior to support the students who are deregulated, already that the amount that need support from behavior has increased year after year year. This is supported by the data that were collected by the Center National Education and its statistics. We were very happy to have the support, but with the increase in classes special education, those helpers They are supporting students even more and It's not so much that they can't be More attention to others is needed support. We have been told about the students who are jumping fences, destroying classrooms and nobody can come and support. How is the security of the other students in the rooms? Some sites do not have AP with the increase in behaviors. The

049Teachers say they call the office to have support and nobody is there present. We need more support in the special education classrooms where the behaviors are getting worse. We also need more support for the students from Teque up to sixth grade in the classrooms. Thank you. Thank you, miss. Navarrese. It can happen. Good evening, President Garza, members superintendent Sim and esteemed staff. I am Val Navarro and I've been in the district for 36 years. He have witnessed the changes that have what happened with COVID and technology and It hasn't always been for the good of all. I am here to address the recent adoption by the district of Los Angels of a resolution to limit the screen time of the students. I hope the table can adopt a similar resolution, since the same problems that

050the district of Los Angels also harm students. We can't control what happens here. At home, however, we can control and limit the time they spend behind in front of a screen in the school. Data from the Institute The National Health Service indicates that being exposed to the screen early This leads to consequences and outcomes. negative afterward, such as a performance native results here, eh diminished and fewer connective skills. I'm in the third year as a teacher and before I was a kindergarten teacher. AND although there is a benefit for technology, considering a limit in schools and have more work Paper and pencil help us with the motor skills and also their skills and abilities. In less The screen can help, but for the They shouldn't be made too small. By Please take into account speaking

051and adopt these limitations. Thank you. Thank you, miss. Dr. Robinson, I think there are two points about which you wants to or is going to talk. Yes, that's correct. Thank you. Well, here it is. Hello good nights, president of the board, Dear Board. valued, superintendent, cabinet, all the members in the room. First I want that boarding was sitting in a DEG meeting last week because We are an advisory committee, we listen to things beyond him that I piled up that entered was They're going to hear the report tonight, the changes in universities. Which I want to tell you that this we say career, but when we see we say university and school, but it seems to be in the changes that there are more universities and colleges university, we are above the that the state

052requires, 96% of graduation percentage and there is another Math class, another option is already available third year of mathematics or science. Now we are going to require your third year of mathematics, remove health. I asked my son, I said, well, that's stupid. He says, why? is the only class that Apply your true life today in the future. Third, they are going to remove one social science, I don't know if it's history or political science, but we live in a economics where young people need to know where we come from because that will expose where we're going and how it works governmental structure. And no, no I want them to get rid of that class neither. I'm not, we're not looking at the trade or because we are uh education, renaissance, and technique. We are following

053the others in the uh, the jobs are very much... skill and good pay. 3 millions trillions of dollars have invested in California for education technological. We are the national leader. That helps the economy; it offers options. to students in the future, options to buy a house. The students did not They can buy a house in this community, But the students did. This, Native American and non-Native American students homeless students. Registrations plus high in these uh classes of uh vocational is 23%. We had COVID In between these years, the 2025 News signed master plan for education of racing. So instead of doing it more difficult for students in the The system we have, why not We are looking for options so that more can follow forward? Uh, second thing I want addressing as a member of

054the community, I I want you to know, have this a Something taller, but I want them to have security instead of more pay. There was a re-election campaign and 16 days then a member of the community, no father, not teacher, 26 years I have been Here, uh, I haven't seen anyone exhibiting their concerns. They are killing your son, your son is deteriorating over the last 4 years and everything Everyone sees it. The members of the The board is not sure. Nobody is sure. Sister Peter Horis sits here week after week and at home publishes. He did it to me last year. When he posts them about you, You guys are very fruit, uh vulnerable. This is a campaign to stain for a board member. I I understand that they cannot have an order of restriction

055because it has not made a threat. What do we do until someone Will it be harmful to change the law? Nobody He asked to speak, but I'm already speaking because we are talking about safety for the young people and students. You are the those who guard the community. But It's safe for you, ask the legal advisors, how do we handle this? topic, topic because if the young people Other students bully them, it we separated. They do it in the field of game, we separated it. If they follow him By doing this, we put them in two quarters separate, or if not, in two different schools. And if they don't change, the We remove them from the district, but that doesn't applies to members of the Board of Education and are vulnerable, they share their personal

056life to have relating them to them becomes a target in the community. That's not it. good. I want you to talk to the legal advisors, because if you don't They're sure, none of us are. we will be. Thank you, Dora. Robinson. John Paul Treer is next speaker. Good evening, John Paul Dreer, class of 1980 of Belfower High School We had a discussion about why the We don't expect such a high enrollment rate of 3%. low enrollment in registrations. We need to focus on why they are happening going out to others going to others districts. On my walk in Bfower, in North Bfower, where I live, I asked to a parent, "Do they go to school?" locals and their children?" No, my son went to Mayf until yesterday. What happened yesterday? Well He said he likes

057three different ones. sports, seventh and eighth grade. Wants be prepared for high school, the teams of uh the first teams and Mayf offers high school students playing against other schools in a way eh of competition. When I went to Bellflower High School, the team of golf tennis, we played against Catalina, the high school versus the middle school, we We arranged to meet on the weekend, we stayed In the gym, we played different games sports, local high schools to give us experience and other things middle schools. He's going to the county of Orange, the private school in the Orange City It's a 30-minute stop He drives, but he enjoys it a lot. Have that, well, to compromise the Young people like students the students. I was a finalist in athlete of the year. We need to

058find out because. That's just one reason. By What other reasons are there for why? which their young people the young people do not want go to high school? Another one Father told me about matters of security, they want them to separate from the high school students. He is sending their children to schools Downy. Downy 2038 graduate, eh this eh future graduate. We want them to do balance the 3-year budget to include these topics of registration. I know that they have seen social media, where there are information on keeping the youths. It's a high school, elementary school, high school. Where we are? At what level do we lose the more students to be able to address this the topic. Parents of 3-year-old children, We have a great TK program, we have to attract them. Where does

059he go to school? TEC? Hey, your young man. We must have a map for parents of 3-year-old children years are ready for next year. A map that shows them where it is. Thank you, Mr. Dryer. It can happen forward. J Shu. I said it correctly. Yes, thanks. Good evening, President Garza, board members, Dr. Simon and the district and administration Ju name. He served as a music educator in this title for 28 years proudly. I'm here tonight to express my deep concern about the restructuring budget graduation requirements in preparatory school, especially in the subject of foreign languages, and registration dual, this and put them in a single category, art and music classes including. I strongly support CTE and other programs to enlist young people for the post-secondary education in universities. It gives them a This is

060not a very pleasant option. This one no more We are changing the requirement, but We are decreasing enrichment of the education of our students our students. There are 4 years only in high school. In During this brief window we ask the students preparing for the the rest of their lives. we focus on a big way about what happens next of school and careers, but we don't forget that this 4 years of very fundamental for the experience of human being. Experience in teamwork, sports, arts and scenes. As adults we can change careers, return to university at the age of 40, 50, 60, but it can never be done return to high school. Hey, think about that for a second. He can't to claim to claim time that passes one discovering a passion for, let's say, the

061canvas or the scene. Hey, why do we want them to be mini? adults before they become academics. Uh, at Bellflower school we have invested quite a bit in the arts Bellflower and Mayfir. We cultivate environments where students find this socio-emotional growth, academic excellence, but forcing these programs that compete under a single stage eh we take the risk of eliminating some. them eh We instruct that this is a a a a second path to follow, but Let's protect our resume for everything student so that they have the opportunity to become an artist, academic, linguist so that he chooses neither one nor the other. must have a rich education in instead of something as simple as a list where you no longer need to check an option. Many Thank you, sir, may we Should Miss Ramirez come

062forward? It's right? Good evening, board members, superintendent, cabinet. My name is Marisa Ramírez. I stand before you because name of many parents in Steven Faster, not just to talk, but to advocate with all my heart for the retention of Chrystal Jackson at elementary school Steven Faster. As a registered nurse I have dedicated my life to caring for others. The most important action, the care of Health is what continuity matters for. and it heals. When there is trust, it They build relationships and someone... He truly knows, not just his name because of its history. That care is exactly what Christopher Jackson gives our students all the days, right? N sees the students at pass by, he knows them, he knows their battles, strengths, families, he realizes When something is wrong, before anything else person and she

063tries to help, no more administrator, but being a presence in their life. For many of the children, students see the stability, courage and confidence. And uh Christopher Jackson is one of the reasons why That's why there's the board program. welcome. uh yes, it has been part of it Great opportunities after school, uh the PDIFE and the student championships are ways that she creates connections and affection in the entire community and that trust It matters what she believes because when They feel seen, they show up, when They feel supported and learn better differently. And when you have security This blooms the consistency this It also saves lives and also trains futures. Removing Mrs. Jackson is not allowed. It's just a change of personnel, that's all loss of stability, connection, someone who has been a cornerstone in

064this community. Uh, oh please consider not the position anymore, but the person, role and relationships that she has, the no more decision what they are doing, but an impact lasting, huh, that will have his children in the young people who have that support daily. Please keep the Mrs. Christa Jackson as director in Steven Faster. Thank you for your time and heart in this decision. Thank you, Mrs. Ramirez. We can ask you Please tell Miss Baker to come in. Good evening, amazing active month and members. I am Amy Parker and I am here to express my support for the two-year director people Basket Jackson. I respectfully urge you to reconsider your resignation for the end of this year. I am a mother and an employee of 5 years with Think Together, where I am supervisor students

065on a three-hour lunch break and I work lunch during two breaks. diary. I can tell you that Miss Jackson is one of the best things that It happened to us in elementary school. within their first month with us, She learned the names of each one enrolled student, was visible and present on the team of students interacting with the staff families instead hide behind a door office. This level of dedication and Accessibility makes a big difference in our school culture. Laita Jackson has contributed so much to our staff, including helping to start the Abit program, launch Steven's Instagram account Faster to connect with family and create areas to pick up and drop off with music and consistently deal with the daily discipline and student support when the director is unavailable. I was a mother at Foster's

066in the last 8 years as a mother of three children and one who went to Mayfir. I've seen the first brother who was so That young lady is dedicated and supportive. Jackson and at the same time has been It's regrettable to see the high level of eh administrative changes in the district. For the last 8 years my teachers have gone to Faster, we've had six directors. dismissal because there is so much lack of congruence and how is this best for our students, how is this helping them to improve grades in the tests with so much inconsistency in leadership. The years the district is beginning to get a bad reputation. He's simply asking her here. together if this is how things are helping to recruit and improve the student results. I believe our community needs consistency,

067leadership. It's exciting for the staff, teachers and families. Begin with administrative staff each year or 2 years is bad for the morals of students and teachers. Having a new director, having the leadership of Mrs. Jackson would provide much-needed stability in the school. Finally, I would like simply leave them with the following. Miss Jackson is a rare gem in education. Steven Foster primary would be incredibly fortunate to continue to benefit from their dedication, leadership and genuine care for this community. I sincerely hope that Luisito, please reconsider this decision. First, the staff and success I continue for school. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Miss Barker. Emy Mustafa. Good evening, President Garza, train cabinet members, colleagues and community. I want to address the state of current negotiations, the proposal of delay salary talks until end of

068May. PTA Sunshine, uh the negotiations in May 2025 had the intention to begin a process of timely negotiations. Uh, we were waiting to start a group negotiations delayed it until May. The BTA, regardless of this delay, came Prepared on the first day we present a reasonable salary proposal and we show that we are willing to have meaningful conversations. So the district has not provided any counterproposal. Now it is being said that the proposed balances will not will be available until the end of May. Respectfully, this cannot be done accept. By that time, the year School will almost be over, which will leave little time to be able to have significant negotiations agreement and its implementation. Under a normal timeline, the negotiations for next year school should have started in March, But right now we're doing

069it almost a year behind where we have to do it. At this stage of the school year, district I should have a very clear understanding of its financial position. Our educators, like all the professionals deserve stake serious, timely, and significant in these negotiations. And delay this prolongs uncertainty and also This limits confidence in this process of negocies. We ask you to come and submit a salary proposal immediately so we can take it to We conduct negotiations in good faith and we can reach an agreement that reflects the values ​​of those who provide services to this community day after day. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Mustard. Can you come Jennifer? Good afternoon, President Garza, penitent members and administration of the district. We're talking about the Vapid department with respect to the new graduation requirements. Am Jennifer

070Campbell and I've been teaching in Mayfir as choir director for 6 years. During this time period I have had many campaign schedule changes, administration, new policies and procedures and now new requirements graduation. In the brief discussion that We had as a BAP department we had with regard to the changes. Our The understanding is that the AGR requirements It requires one year of vaping and two years of a foreign language and now they're going to require 3 years of preparation classes for the college and careers and whether BAPA CTA or some other foreign language. Because we are going off course of Belf's requirements from A to G? If the The intention is to improve the metrics or measures to be ready in the California dashboard because not We follow AG requirements and a additional category for

071ECD VAPA or any other solution. The opinion The collective aspect is that we still require at least a year because we know it that these programs provide students is not only a place for self-expression and learning socio-emotional, but also a place where many life skills, such as a discipline of cooperation citizenship and being a good human being They cultivate. In addition, the programs do a lot for the school district. We support The sports teams, we went out to the community, we provide entertainment, joy, an escape and many more things for our audience. What other programs does Students have that change the lives of their children students after having shared tears with veterans or they push or They boost the creativity of students for years to come? As API department, unfortunately It indicates that the student

072figures They are vital to our department and Everything we do is imported, and everyone... the studies that show the unvalidable what are the arts for the city and the Education, each year it seems that the weight having to justify the programs and Presenting figures is becoming increasingly difficult. instead of having the support that is necessary to cultivate those resilient and powerful programs that we already have. We already compete with many programs of our staff at the school and it's already It's difficult trying to support things equitably. These new requirements will to continue harming or competing with our apartment programs and limit excess student. We ask that we take time to consider these changes and invite more representative teachers in all programs the district for that their voices may be heard in this conversation. Thank you.

073Thank you, Miss Cambo. It can happen Jair Gamboa. Good afternoon, President Garza, members, superintendent and district administration. Made some Bapa teachers in the district from Bellflower, which I love and I'm here to talk to in favor of the category that has just mention. When we look at the requirements graduation is important that you do not Let's dilute the function of the arts visuals by putting it in a category to be Ready for high school. By adding this category and group the languages foreigners Mbappé and CTI within a already complex requirement, We unintentionally created a system where the students They can skip the steam completely. And the The goal is really to have the students ready for their careers and the universities are aligning it a little more on AG requirements and do not create a

074structure that competes within she AGE. It's very clear. A year of vaping and 2 years of the same language are required for university admissions of the state of California or of California. And this protects access and ensures that each student has a good education by the time they graduate from the preparatory. This also supports the self-expression, well-being, and the mental health. And for many students Here, art provides a space safe for processing the experiences, reduces stress and communicate ideas that are difficult to express in words. They contribute to trust and identity development. Fine arts raise awareness cultural and empathy and exposes to students with different points of view, history and deepen knowledge of the world. The arts are only elective classes, but they also form part of a comprehensive education in the high school, which

075supports success long-term and personal development. I suggest that you support the program of the visual arts and not only that they have a little box to put a popcorn in and provide students with an education comprehensive. The arts Visual arts are important and the arts in In general, they are important. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Gabi Gutiérrez. can happen podium. Good afternoon, President Garza, members of the president of Sim and district administrators. I am Gabi Gutiérrez, I am a teacher at the Mayfare, I teach art and I've been there for 21 years old. I'm here too. regard to the district's requirements Belflower, specifically eh what was mentioned that CCR is being structured in the requirements of A. As you've heard, we are supporting the improvement of the CCR and the requirements And this

076is important for students, for the community and for the district and what is represented in the the California dashboard. As proposed, this proposal It causes concerns with the teachers from BAPA. in May for flower. This creates a a system where we are all competing. Because of this, many students leave to receive from their own and will describe who have to take a vape class in at a community college for to be able to meet the requirements of income at state universities or California. There is a way, there is a best way forward. Can maintain the 3-year CSR target, but CSR should be its own category and we must be clear about the requirements for at least one year BAPA and a year of a language like this the Downy district. This way We do two

077things, we strengthen the CCR results just as we protect equitable access to education comprehensive, one that includes the arts Because at the end of the day, that's what it's all about, isn't it? only the minimum requirements on paper, but it is a requirement of all the students who come here. The belief is simple for anyone. Belfower graduating student It must be at least one year old as part of their experience of high school, not as an option, but as requirement, but as a commitment that they would take for their education. As Bapa group, we come with solutions, no We only come here to complain. So Thank you for your time. This is a vape Bellflower and Mayfair. Thank you. Miss Gutierrez wants to hand over her recommendations here. Thank you. Melissa Kitchen can pass. Good

078afternoon, members, President Garza and members of the table and Dr. Simon and the staff and the amazing community. As you can see, We all show up for a reason, and the BTE president Yanka has already spoken to regard. I just want to emphasize We have these new buttons and they say, There are two, a first student, the working conditions are the learning conditions of the students and the other comes from what we are seeing directly Dr. Simen's and the district of Belfower. It's that every voice is valued and That's what we want. Uh, the BTA negotiations have come, They have already been presented prepared by a year trying to carry out the process of negotiations and complete it because it is time to carry out the next one. So we want at the end of

079May, like It was requested, Please, come with a salary already! because when we don't have Clarity, this creates stress, which is not Teachers are needed in the district Flow, we're really that button. Students first and we are working hard work and we don't need stress, We simply need it to be there Next, let this be over so we can finally finish. to be able to move on to the next thing. The other thing that emerged in the negotiations It's that the Bellfower district, the management wants to increase eh the professional development days Wednesdays. Right now we have 12 Wednesday which are for professional development necessary and the request is to add three further. So, now they're going to be 12 + 3 equals 15. Now the sites Currently, not everyone is using the 12 that

080the district has available, They're only using 10. So, after taking 3 more days of the teachers, because it is a time of highly valued planning and collaboration, use what we have Currently, use the 12 days. We listen which was because of the data and for the collection and analysis of these, But we're already getting a lot of that. happening on Tuesdays uh with PLCs, just like the 12 Wednesdays that have available the district. So please we ask you that they consider not taking any more time away from planning as a primary school teacher. The truth is, we don't have enough. That time is already sacrificed enough. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Miss Mchan. Can it happen? Please come in, Laila Brand? I said the last name correctly. Laila Brandes, excuse me. Good night.

081My Her name is Laila Brandes. I'm an ex Steven Foster's student. I I graduated last year. I have the honor of to be here or to be there during the first Mrs. Jackson's year. She is a assistant, director brilliant. Well, like a good best friend of everyone at school. Uh, all I've heard about her has been It has been positive how hard he works to to be everything and anything for everyone. He's always there for young people who They need support and a meeting of the youths. Every time I see her, I get the Biggest hug, has the best brighter personality, carries energy and fun at school. always finds a fun way to Welcome to the young people and bring light their mornings. She wants to, she is significant to many people, it is of

082I'm quite used to seeing her go out. This was very The constant staff turnover is difficult. When I went to Stevens Foster's, I was... It was fitting a person together and the other day already He wasn't there. It's hard to see that the staff leave, especially when They create quite a few of these connections with students. Please consider this decision. Thank you for your time. Have a good one evening. Thank you, Miss Brandes. Can we please have as a break of about 5 minutes. We will return to 8:08. Thank you. Už We are now moving on to the topics of discussion and debate. Tonight we have two on 10.1. Let's begin with school graduation requirements preparatory. Dr. Simon. Thank you GSA president. I'm going to pass the baton to assistant superintendent of services academics, Mr.

083Bonnie Carter. Thank you, Dr. Simon. Tonight Our high school principal is going to share information about proposals, requirements and updates for graduation with new mandates of State, finance studies personal. It's something we have to to do, review the requirements, ensuring that they are competent to university registration, in districts in our surroundings and have the postgraduate skills. We have dialogue begun with advisory groups, administration, students and we're going to collect feedback in the following weeks. Mr. Castellera, He will share the information tonight. which was presented to our partners academics and will provide the information initial that we are receiving from feedback from these groups. Mrs. Calada, good night. Garza presents, members of the Board, Superintendent Simon, cabinet members and community. It gives me It's a great pleasure to be here tonight for share proposed updates for

084the graduation requirements of Belfore district. Designed changes to prepare students for the opportunities outside of high school and workforce needs to help them be ready to opportunities and qualify for opportunities. are on the horizon of students and by adapting these requirements we ensure that the graduate does not When high school ends, But he is ready for the world and the confidence and skills to have success. Every student must graduate, not more with a diploma, but ready to be globally competitive. who wants Align the curriculum with expectations university students and demands for strength work to prepare them for this Life after high school, huh having them ready. These roads, eh They help to give skills essentials, provide a framework of work aligned with success. Your goals for Aligning students is uh strengthen the paths to success

085academic, and increasing the ranges in AG recordings, expand APAP, dual enrollment, impacting the indicator of careers and universities and preparation, ultimately giving them better access and opportunities to students. The data shows that we have a strong this rate of graduation, but the proportion in which graduate, ready for university or completing the CTE, is lower than what we want. These are the changes we propose They focus on graduating students, but also prepare them for life after from the graduation. To measure the impact From these efforts, the indicator of college and careers, this, university and races, see if they are ready for and They achieve certain milestones in the completion of the university requirements, huh dual registration and other indicators that They are linked to post-secondary success. It's to close the gaps in the college and career

086preparation professionals, this, giving more courses and most relevant academic experiences. And the The expectation is to strengthen the results of their preparation, but also the commitments we have with the students for their successful graduations. This slide Compare the state's requirements with those from the CSU and UNC universities that adjustments have an impact I have been impacted by this update in Regarding the preparation requirements university student. This slide shows the proposed requirements and the result and the reason for the proposal. Hey, math and science requirements is a 2-year path with an additional year of mathematics or science. The proposal is from require 3 years of math and science requiring IM1 and IM2 as a sequence giving the option in the third year to science, biology, and chemistry, and the third year that the student can choose.

087This will make them more competent people who want to register in university, uh other students giving It's the path where they can take additional integer mathematics informing them that if they want to attend, uh to a UC university, this has to complete IM3 and this we have We also want to program the students in an additional class of science in 11th grade and one of math or science in the 12th grade. This clarifies our current practice. The requirements require a year of government and geography, pushing the requirement to 4 years, reducing social sciences to 3 years in alignment with the requirements of state and most of the districts, integrating health into the curriculum of sciences. This will open connections global, will give them access to more options and in the requirement of paration for university

088and careers too requires CTE registration classes dual to give some more foundations comprehensive for students and those students who cannot attend classes advanced features give them the ability to take other preparation courses to university to fulfill the requirement. uh, that is, provided they are approved such as visual and performing arts and other electives. This gives the option such as the second and third year in an area of more of more passion and also strengthens their preparation for the university. By introducing these updated requirements, we have obtained eh realization of other groups of people, interested parties, relatives, families, students, community and all the work we have This and the surveys we have conducted tell us They've said it has to be more preparation, there must be more preparation for students in university classes and also classes

089that can give them opportunities of real life. Also, interested people They have emphasized refinement, more clarity particularly in how the requirements are structure, how they are sequenced of the courses, how the students of Families can understand and navigate these changes in terms of possible challenges, uh complexities about uh programming, the supply of schools that are properly programmed and considerations regarding implementation at the school site. We will also see if there is enough time to take the courses necessary for them to be able to take uh those courses without giving it all the responsibility to teachers for design new courses. There are others questions about how health classes will be included in the resume. This It removes the importance of putting together or gives signs that we also need to include to the teachers to talk

090about the standards that alignments with the This is required, well addressed with integration this comprehensive and important. We are asking More information and feedback from groups of students and teachers and We expect to receive that information and those contributions that will help us to form the following steps. Herein slide comparing requirements graduation venues in different districts. The important thing is that the districts mostly require 3 years of mathematics to be prepared in the university. language wants to change its 4-year math requirement to three in the area of ​​social sciences. The proposed updates, uh, they put us in alignment with expectations state and show consistencies with with the districts in our surroundings. In Look at this world's languages ​​and arts visuals. There are more requirements this year. He The state requires one year of classes visual

091or scenic and that remained in mind when it developed proposition. and in this requirement for preparing students for school High school requires 3 years of coursework and One year has to be in one language world, visual arts or CTE, although it can meet that requirement with classes APAP, CTE or dual registration, this is for all students, students of English, students of with disabilities, they will also have many options. electives, CTE arts, arts visual arts, performing arts, as well as They have today. They are all approved for university requirements and eligibility for university. The inclusion of preparation for Colleges and careers is intentional, shows the district's approach to that the students are on the right track to achieve academic and real-life success. Uh, updating the requirements, it supports the successes. uh, about the graduates, but The

092schedule is relevant, as you can see here that can fit within the schedules that We use AAP classes in schools preparatory schools. It has all the periods of time required to take the courses. You have to take courses minimal, but it has the opportunity to take eight courses. The eight o'clock schedule periods give flexibility to students who need additional support, allowing them to complete the requirements graduation while they receive intervention in support courses and of daytime credit recovery school. This schedule has meets state requirements and standards for university preparation, the same with support based on a period in a six-period school day. Everything can be completed in a six-hour schedule periods in 4 years, but there is competition between elective programs and can be delayed to certain classes until these last years when they can

093take elective classes. to support implementation, a frequently asked questions section, This one has been published where there is questions and has students or or parents to see how there is how where There are certain challenges, where they have answers to those challenges. That's their plan It can be based on staff rehiring in terms of adequate time for refining courses, address considerations logistics and communication clear. This is an advanced time for us can give more time for To submit a resume in the year 2728. next year teachers and teams have to work together to develop courses for uh about science courses, courses in social sciences, geography and and to change the types of government to a a semester instead of a year. FEAQ shares that although the student does not She plans to attend university After

094high school, the changes The proposed ones help with the skills techniques to make them competitive in in the workforce. In general, the proposed changes They help to ensure the safety of students They are graduating with a competitive level, access to programs of from the real world and who can take courses with more certifications and have more options. That is the path we are taking to that our partners participate, so that the board's regulations and policy be informed by a variety of stakeholders. As Are we with administrators? accessors and teacher leaders to be able to see which is to take advantage of their contributions there, uh, educational partners and advisory groups, the DLAC and the groups the superintendent was able to give his perspective. We are still here awaiting contributions from the most important groups generals

095and student groups and this will continue to give us information for the next steps. There's going to be one regulation and review of regulations and This must be approved at the table. already with the June date and the matrix courses will be offered, and this emphasizes the commitment to inclusivity and effective implementation of the changes. These changes also empower the students when creating a foundation or a educational foundation for them to be prepared for the future. Thank you for this great presentation. Do you have any questions or comments? I have some. What is this? First Nothing, did someone put it here or this Paper, what is it? Ah, that's what teachers do. Already. Okay. Ah, I'll begin. So, he says that He spoke, saying they were making a reach for teachers in general. They said

096that They spoke with the master gods. Who Where did they go and where did they come from? From Bill Flower Mayfower High School. school leadership teams that They are the presidents of each department for each school, for the high school and secondary, as well as councilors and any other key leader who is in the school leadership team. Both Schools have other individuals who They are part of this team as individuals in community schools, other partners. Then, the team of the despicable. Do teachers choose? Are these the administrators or this team? Teachers have the ability to to request the status of president of department and submit applications each year and The administration reviews the application and There is more than one person there. Believe I'm not sure if there's some kind of ticket. very clear in

097that part, but because of the At least in my experience there haven't been any more of an individual, but most of the time is an individual who requests the position of president of the group, then The administration chooses them. Well, yes I was in favor of many of the things that I saw, obviously health was my concern. My soon biggest ones Graduation rates are very high, they go to go down. Can you talk a little bit about that? You told me that some of the science courses would be a little more as a course like marine biology or something Yes, but this was my biggest concern. big. Our first meeting when We're talking about this, can you mention this? this? The rates of graduation. The purpose and the update of the requirements of Graduation is

098to... build the bridge between CT and AT compression. Obviously there is a gap between the rate graduation and the others. Yes I want to ensure that students are truly competitive, that are ready for university and are ready for their races. So, Finally, those requirements help to address the bridge in this gap. Additionally, in fact, I believe that would improve grating rates because Now students will be able to connect, they will be able to participate in certain passions, in certain subjects or roads that originally would not have taken. So, essentially, it should increase at least its persistence, but also the rate of graviration. I have many questions. I'll make one more And from there, how do they want it, because I have many. We let him finish. The question is, can you explain which one? is

099the biggest difference between the requirements and why we are listening here of many teachers and, I mean, obviously the health and bapa thing and put them all in the same category, What are the differences between the Two, what we currently have and what What are we proposing? One of the changes The social sciences are greater. We currently want a full year of government, Which brings us to the sciences, eh social studies for 4-year-olds. We have a year of world history, geography, uh, of economy and the traditional model in the last year It's a semester of government and a semester economics. So, currently it We do more than this. Geography It was embedded in world history and the historical standards of the United States several years ago. So This course has remained as it was in

100the requirements, but technically the World history is geography and uh United States history and geography. And these standards that have been embedded and we are still having the requirement of geography with respect to the math. One of the changes or updates is require 3 years of mathematics, but As mentioned, it has been a practice similarly to how the sciences It requires a third year of science, but The practice has been for them to have one year additional in mathematics and science in the penultimate year. It's a very long practice. time, so they have added to the students in those courses at the one tenth year and this would formalize and would codify this requirement, which requires students to take a third year of mathematics and a third science year. And the other change is Well,

101health, reducing the requirement of health and include it in the courses of sciences and the incorporation or addition of the requirement of careers and universities And being prepared is so you can emphasize and ensure that the students are prepared for the road after the high school and take CTE routes or uh advanced or double classes registration. Right now the requirements are essentially allows students to take 50 selective classes if it is a cover mega-open and essentially the requirement so that they are prepared for the university is to put a category and it is an opportunity for them to take courses in this area to comply with this requirement. So we emphasize the courses that they would comply with that, that obviously These are the AG lectures. For the social sciences we are anticipating that they

102will not take government and economic. What are the classes that Will they be eliminated? Sorry, No? Which classes would be eliminated? Yeah They've been taking four, now they're down to three. What are the two classes that We would typically see that they are deleted? Geography It would be the course which is being taken currently and the government is reduced from a full year to a semester, which is the traditional model for students of the tenth duo. Should I follow them or what? Health is something important to me. There are many different, we have many emails, from I actually printed some of these. To be honest, until they can show me where they are going to putting all those things into biology, I'm having trouble with this. I know what it is. a chat, I know

103that I simply we are mentioning, but when Come back, I need you to show me in Where does it go, where does everyone go? components in biology, because we have I've taken biology and I don't see how this It works. So I need that for to understand why health is so important. Do you want to talk for a little while? About this? Where do they plan to put all of them? are different parts? It's something that will have to be done. do next school year. It's for that the teachers meet and identify and review both standards, standards health, biology, and make sure of that are integrated in a meaningful way to see how they are doing and how they are connect. But much of that will have to be done next school year when they

104meet to do that job to make sure that all those essential topics are address. Yes, because I'm watching the emotional intelligence, managing the different emotions, managing stress, suicide prevention, the Baby, drugs, alcohol, steroids, there are a lot. I know, I'm a teacher of physical education. I know we can I want to include physical education, but I want to See all the standards will fit in physical education, biology, where one Ask more questions and then I'll leave them to it. do it. Uh, financial literacy, Where will it be? Right now there are two subject areas where they can to be included in mathematics and the social sciences. So, right now both schools offer Business mathematics and this, uh It could be more robust. would be a opportunity to see literacy economic and to create a course

105updated that complies with updated standards in the curriculum personal economic development and The next time would also be the best. the social sciences. So, they can to have economic advancement if they take a semester of personal finance or financial knowledge would be a opportunity for them to take the course there. One more quickly, can you explain something I honestly didn't recognize and have I've heard a lot from this community. evening? The combination of CT and VPA and the foreign languages, eh, double registration. Can you explain a A little more about this? I think we're improving. We are offering an opportunity for the students take additional classes in live or visual arts. The requirement It asks for 3 years to be ready for the... university for a year has to be in languages, visual arts, CTO

106or live arts. Is the same requirement that we have at the moment. Then we did put it inside the requirement to be ready. to go to the preparation for university, to say that The second and third year allows them to the students take a second or third year of either CTE or BAPA because we know we have enough students who sometimes take 4 years of band or choir or art, then they provide the opportunity to do this, but emphasize and indicate that those courses They are preparing to be ready for the university and its careers. If I am In the band, I can take 4 years of band training. and I can still complete a CTE properly. Technically, yes. The students have the ability, They still have their bucket of classes elected, would have 40

107other credits that They can take it, so they have the ability to take all those courses. Also They are all amazing. So why So many people are frustrated Speaking of all this, let's get started. within a category? Which ones do you think What are their concerns? Part of the concern is the lack of clarity. This is the first time that we share This in a public setting. Obviously We have spoken with the different groups. So, I think the individuals are talking and I think it's good that we're speaking and participating in this dialogue and that we have this feedback. I think a lot of the information that is shared today, especially by the visual arts teachers and in I'm alive, it's a lot of feedback that we can incorporate in Finally, what will the update

108be like? So, I think that's more than anything else. That's the main reason why it's creating an opportunity to talk about graduation requirements. No we have done for quite some time as district, no problem because we have a full year of government, a whole year in geography, it is the opportunity to participate in the conversation and make sure we are preparing students for life after high school. Thank you. I just have one question and I think I already answered it, but I want it hear. What was missing before? I know that I have all the documents here, but in your mind of you, what is it that Did it need fixing? So why Are these changes being made? I believe that for a long time there has been a desire to require a way for

109the Students complete this. Require the students who are ready for A to G, that complete a certain trajectory, but This creates flexibility for them instead to require a specific path. That allows for flexibility to the students who want to take paths different. If they want to be in a double registration or advanced clans, it can do. If they want to build a road to They can do it through CT. Or if They simply want to continue taking the minimum requirements to be eligible for university, too It can be done this way. So I think that That's the last straw. In addition, we have the additional requirements that sometimes uh They put us in challenges. And I continued talking about, for example, government, when a student He transfers to our school in his last year, especially

110if it comes to midway through his final year, if the The student was in a school district. previous one that had the traditional model And the government didn't have it in the first semester, then they wouldn't have sufficient credits when they enroll with us. So then we had to find out how to support this student. So the updated requirements are not It would align in this way. The Students are taking the requirements that align at the level state. Well, I'm going to have to study a little. further. That's all. First time I've received all this information and I have five children who have graduated and no problem and now having it again And yes, it seems like something to me. as a strong point to have the entire language world, performing arts in one category.

111Why can't they divide, separate, eh, health, class of health? I know that when we adopted that curriculum that was mandatory on the part From the State, we had to do it and I have fear that it will go away, that it can losing as we need it to be defined. Um, if we ever get audited, Where is the health, biology, and other classes? Hey will reflect our academic plan, it would be easier if it kept more separated and the young They have the option of the classes selective and I'm just thinking I'm not treating, I'm trying, but I'm not saying that anymore. I'm going to look into it more because I think the other feedback they gave us It says that if health is removed as requirement, which if it can be offered as elective

112option, it is also a viable opportunity. The students They can register for the course, They can sign up, they can choose to do so. We are looking at allowing that continue. If clear students want taking health classes can do. But the other area where we can possibly see for growth, other areas that have been addressed on health topics mental, things like that and of that nature in a school there is a counseling path mental health, it is a CTE path under medical sector section. an area that we can still enlarge in our schools, a course and path that we can expand, but the times allowing that there is time to... fix and to sort out those details, to get them together teachers to develop the courses, to integrate the standards and create this Your resume

113will be important. I went to school and all biology was different than a health class. I don't I'm being simple about this, but it's the truth. Maybe we are, I don't know what That's what we're trying to do, we're trying to improve, or well, always We are trying to improve, because We have work, quite a lot of work that do. So, Thank you for the presentation and all the information. A couple of questions. I know that with financial education, eh I was going to create the state where we can adopt our own program. That What do we do about that? We are waiting for the finalized model resume. It will be for May, late May. Alas to have it the curriculum model and standards, We will now proceed with the following steps. The next school

114year will be the When will those courses be created? When we are given a sample resume, We added our own touch. Ah, well, they're usually alignments about how a course should to contain a course, what are the elements that must be covered, the units, all those elements. And look looking at this study requirement ethnicities, this We developed the program and trained it with teachers in that situation. Uh, we look at established programs as a model and we look at how they gather the needs that we have as requirement for the following school year They added their resumes. As she said board member Stuart, I also agree that for the How will it fit in next year? All of this with everything else? We seem being doing it last. I'm not very comfortable with that. How

115are we going to do? That's the detail I would like know. I don't want the year to pass. whole and we are still like playing with the plan and I would like to have advance plans. Well, that feedback This has reached us, that's why we He said that in a year we should talk about the details, let's gather the staff, the teachers for fix those issues and then get started the courses in the 2728 school year. us It gives time to develop the curriculum and address those issues and concerns And when it comes to aligning the courses with our partner apps, what What collaboration exists for Is everything running smoothly? CTE courses in general or what is it that happens after school or the partners of K apps are part of this conversation also in

116collaboration, because that changes the requirements we have with them. Informally Mrs. Whitney, our CEO of Cal Apps Regarding CTE programming programs, well Yes, we met to see how it looks the CTE program Caps, what we offer today school, which will help the registrations at CTE, that's what we want. That helps to do that with the education requirement for careers and universities. Regarding the conversations that We have and have had advisors that one where students take CTE classes, but they see them as optional. It What happens is that they take a course, the course top-level, but they are not still in the path. So what we want to discuss What to do is this, calling this a The requirement is that they complete two years that is the way and that the advisors change your conversations

117when you are programming the students and that they have that conversation. If the student already He took four level one courses, maybe one That's something you can complete. So, which one did you like? Maybe another path to follow, or eh Answering the question, we are trying to improve. Yes, it's for improve this compliance with CTE, getting students to get on the path to completing the requirements to be ready for university, to graduate with options, be able to do one decision after year 12 so that enter the workforce into the forces employment or enter programs of races in Cerritos or some other type of a trade program, a essentially a 4-year university We want them to have options. Thank you and Thanks again for the presentation. This, well, yes, my first question So, how long will

118we be talking about it? this? But I already heard 27 and 28. That makes me calm. I thought it was going to be 26 or 27.3 months, that's not enough time to to talk about such a big change as this. My first question is, when does it have to see with This information and preparation for colleges and professional careers, What is it that we want to emphasize? I think they are specific paths. Maybe I have certain programs. and special paths that he likes People, but oh well, the The intention is to be more general, that's why. the topic and that's why For that reason, students can take any of their courses and highlighting that being prepared for the university and careers is an approach to our district. We want them to be ready upon graduating

119from our schools, creating a profile that Students should have when they leave of our schools, but as he said you, who do not want to guide the students to a single path, Let's say, because there are students who They have multiple paths they want continue. There are also CN students who They want to make one guided towards a diploma that we will ensure that everyone should have the opportunity. So the requirement to be prepared for university and careers gives the flexibility that the student to take visual arts and arts courses scenic and so that they can complete a CTE's path in terms of its courses. Okay, but assuming that assuming that We don't get rid of the health class or That part is not implemented and We keep them separate, I think it would be

120better and from my personal experience, It would be better to keep the health class as something that can be done in the summer. I don't know how they're made, but in Mayf we had the health center in the summer school because I did this AAP geography, I couldn't do it in the summer, but it's an option we could this take uh in advance. It is very important for AAP students, I think, because it I mentioned at the council meeting of Student advisors say that because There is space during the year we can Remove it, but keep it as a course summer, a condensed period, gives that space you are looking for when that class is over. One thing that which I have realized, or rather I have seen, geography students A have that they return

121later and take classes in health and I feel that they are being held back when that space can be open for other courses. Well, I think what Shumik is explaining is that the students back when we weren't we are a program They had the opportunity to take classes in Summer health for credit additional because there was no space in the six-period schedule and place Human geography in ninth grade especially this APAP course. So that they had to take that course at the summer or in year 12 and that one took a space during year 12 to take other courses and that under the program of six periods. In the eight program periods there are more opportunities to students take additional classes. So health stopped being offered during the summer because essentially We offered essentially in

122the summer because there was no space during the year and now that he has the ability to Take care of your health during the school year regular for the period the schedule of eight periods, that's why it was no longer offered in the summer, but that's something that can resume in terms of future summer programming. Just like with economics, I think it would be beautiful that we can create more of this space in year 12 and take and take the previous course. Uh, when it has to do with the year additional math, what kind of Are they proposing changes to mathematics? because I already heard This business mathematics, I think That's important, this needs to be changed to personal finances, that helps with the in the long run. But what kind of change? Is there

123anything else besides that? Currently there are advanced math classes in the high schools currently. In Both high schools offer computer science, statistics and all courses advanced, calculus advanced, advanced precalculus, analysis mathematical. There is a range of electives in third year, uh, as an option, and the area that We should look at it, I think. I explained in the presentation, it does the work where teachers develop courses third year which are electives and there have been talks about create courses that are aligned to certain career paths, essentially the students of that They are prepared for some of the ways they are. their advanced technical paths. That It's an opportunity because we can create those courses so that the students take them as their third year or in fourth year, because they can always... take during the

12412th year of school. And as for the CR block, it was focusing on something. Many people have I've given my opinion on that. I think the main thing I would like I mean, because when I look at the block CR, as we call ourselves from BAPA, language foreigner, what I see is that there is a like an exit, an escape, because there are people who are going to have that brand, that check-a-box mentality, I'm going to do this class, finish this class and all that, but if there is requirements, one has to be from language. Foráo, Bapa or CTE grouping them as if it gives the as if supports that mentality of checking one This box instead of enjoying one class and I just wanted to shout my opinion is to keep it separate. Believe

125What is retrogmentation? It would be very valuable to look at that requirement. if we can divide them and see how it works You can see that. Well, that's basically all I I meant because even though I'm in the Advanced AP class and also double Registration, I think one of the things The important thing we need to see is that This is grabbing everyone's attention, Right? To modern people, because it's Well, to start at a midpoint Let's see if we can add more and then come in. Right? To return to that point. Do you want me to ask you a few questions? fast? First of all, financial knowledge, the The requirement is one semester. So, It seems we need a lot of classes math for the semester, right? Because they're going to have to take this

126into account sometime. Correct? The requirement It requires at least a semester. at least one semester of economics staff, But it will be an elected class, eh? one semester, they will be able to take that course, but can also offer during the year, uh, because when we create select classes Sometimes the schedule is difficult because We need to create other select classes so that they agree. So that's one of the challenges when We're looking at the programming, the schedule main, but we have a mix, We have the opportunity to create a course throughout the year that currently the business mathematics model. We are looking at making the course a one-year course, but also a semester-long course for those who only want to take the requirement, have the ability to complete the requirement within the semester. Ethnic

127studies are going to be all-encompassing per year or per semester. We currently have both options. So, the only ones that The ones currently offered are those that They last a year because the semester course It was still being created. So that The course has since been approved through the AAG portal courses. So they are developing the curriculum for this elected semester class. We have English for ethnic studies, from history of Uh, United States, from studies African Americans that counts as studies of ethnicity and the semester course that is in the fundamentals of studies of ethnicity. We have created a course on a semester because that's what He asks the students in this way that Maybe they don't want to take a year off. complete English or US history, They have the ability to take a

128semester and meet the requirement. Thank you for your presentation and response. to all questions. I know this It's quite long, But I do have a few questions. more or less to accept all this because it's the first time we've all together to understand it better. So, it is understood that this bucket will increase the opportunity to be able select. I think that's great. But I can also see the difficulties for students and to advisors due to the number of students with what needs to be done how difficult will it be? long term. I know it's the first time conversation, I'm not anticipating having all questions right now. Taking into account the possible change of the transition, What support will be available for that all students, especially English learners or with disabilities and those who already

129They need additional support. can comply the increased requirements, eh for mathematics and science have they already been talking about that or Or is it something that still needs to be done? tackle because We're always talking about of those who perform incredibly well and A big thank you to these people. who love school and all these things, but when we talk about those children who need support now with the challenges they have or disabilities And English learners already exist deficiencies that we have seen how we are going to address This is knowing that it will affect them. Currently, as mentioned, we do not We are deviating from the practice. the English learners, students with disabilities, They all already have a third year planned. of mathematics and science, so now the eleventh grade students They are taking

130their science and math classes in the ninth and tenth year, just like also the courses in the tenth year and They also take an additional class there. mathematics in his twelfth year. So that this requirement is formalizing that practice because We are now asking for a third year of mathematics and science. So essentially those students are already taking those courses. illustrators with disabilities, depending on the trajectory that they are taking, specifically the students who are receiving that and uh now they take their IM1 during the course At 2 years old, they do it in the ninth and tenth year and then IM2 and they can take these courses and from there They also have the ability to take additional mathematics. If you put it in Both schools take math classes. business as an option. Now,

131this It has already been the practice. So, this This requirement is formalizing that practice. And that's the same for the apices of English. They also have something planned. similar with ninth, tenth and eleventh take mathematics and science and twelfth grade, already whether it be mathematics or science. When We talked about the support, the new bell schedule that the schools have allows them to opportunity to have support classes that require the classes of barely a few English and can also complete the other opportunities in which they can participate, such as live and visual arts, CTE, any another elected class. So, as mentioned, Students can still do That, however, The schedule creates competition and the Students tend to have less opportunities to take these courses eh additional support, but right now They can do this in the

132recovery of credits as well as additional support during the day. So we're seeing to be able to continue that practice as well. Therefore, it is left to the discretion of advisor that support exists or is something that students or is something that It's already solid in what we have at the moment. If we're going to do these Solid changes will also be made The changes will now be fixed and ready. Schools are doing a lot work to identify the students and any interventions they may need, already whether it's mathematics or English learning. They have a course they take during the day school, so those students were requires that they take those courses. So Those students have already been identified. For those who need support additional ones, those that maybe They need support in mathematics, they

133identifies in the school. This year one of the schools in Mayfir developed a pilot program in the second half of the year for provide support in mathematics. They identified students who exist additional math support and were they able to put this course in their schedule? during the school day. They are trying embed and continue this practice the next year when identifying the students who need support additional and include this course in your schedule for the next school year. So This allows them to get help and address the needs they have. I also think that we are talking about all of these changes and we are trying of mixing, removing, cutting from a year per semester and things like that. So, there have been talks about how we are actually measuring whether This change will be

134effective for the students or not, long-term. No, we're always changing. We went from six periods to eight periods, but in fact truly We're going to improve. We're talking about that the teachers are ready and not the graduation fees only and the university access and pathways professionalism, but long-term success. As district, how are we going to measure success of the students if we implement this Change again? Because I feel that, and I already know that everyone They already have too much data, but for me When we implement a change, we should of having a visual way to encapsulate if this is it effective or not for students? because if that's not the case, we should be We must be ready to change it. And I feel that in other options, the programs that we have had,

135we have not have been so ready for that. So I think I understand that it is only the beginning and there is still a lot, huh, to cross and it's not going to enter into force immediately. I understand That's right, but I would hate for all the teachers to be like that. implement a change and all groups and the people try of mix the resumes, make it a piece piece by piece and find out that it is not effective for students and that is not effective for teachers, that have to intertwine with others topics that in many cases are already a eh very robust curriculum. So, like district, how are we preparing measure When will we implement these changes? I currently believe that data such as are They speak for themselves regarding the slide we

136gave them with the data among the deficiencies that exist in the graduation and of AG and CAE. It's a metric key that we will continue to monitor to make sure that we are complying with these metrics. Additionally We have invested heavily in best practices professional development advice to develop systems to be able to monitor student progress and if We are going to meet the goal for the AGCAT graduation. That really asks us to be able to do this and to be able to continue creating these systems and monitor so that the children are walking along the path. The changes here are to address the bridge between those shortcomings in the rate graduation from AG or to C to E. E ideally We're going to see all those rates increase, But again, it's about having programming.

137intentional with the counselors, discussions and then monitoring and make sure we are acting with respect to the data we have so that they meet the metrics students. I have more questions, but I don't think I'm going to do it because I I feel comfortable, since this is the first talk about that topic, and I suppose we'll have more. I just had one little question quickly I just remembered that. Since we are trying to reduce some requirements. throughout the year just one semester, how is it going to affect uh the step that goes uh the classes advanced? Because the advanced classes The term of government is one year, but if it want to change for a semester, the Advanced placement courses can offer for the whole year because they are different. when I was talking about

138the geography of humankind, of Advanced placement, that course is from a whole year and even though we are from semester we are going to offer geography of the human being. So the APEP government It can also be, uh, it can be offered, uh throughout the year so they can have success in the placement exam eh advanced. But how will it affect the students' schedule if they take the complete course? Essentially the course It would already be scheduled. So, from In fact, I wouldn't change a thing. drastically from what is practice currently, because they have to take a semester of economics as well. So They have the course that they also have to take and gradually they will have to potentially either fill that gap with ethnic studies as a requirement additionally if they have to

139do it or any other course such as finance personal items that can be made in place of the economy. So they still exist opportunities for students can take two courses that go sets and that's one of the challenges with the courses of a semester that always We need to make sure there is a second semester of the course that can to take so that there is none lack of schedules. Thank you. This president of the Board Garza, for example. So We are going to propose 3 years of mathematics, that is, that a young person can a student can take integral mathematics one and two and the additional math that We want to propose, that will cover, uh personal finance and business mathematics. Yes, those are the ones courses they can take or any new ones

140that has been developed and will be a semester, a full year, full year personal finance or a personal year of mathematics, this business, if we want to incorporate this uh uh business mathematics is a old model, we want to make it more new, will combine the two to make a third year. Correct. An optional class, uh, of third-year math that can take the students and for science They want to integrate health classes, a year of biology, a year of biology, one year of chemistry and an additional year of sciences which would then be a semester of health, a semester of health because he wants to put it inside the science. The standards will be incorporated health in the course of a year of biology. Incorporate health standards into the biology curriculum. But wait, Wait for

141me. Biology and health. I was different for myself. I I'm not that old, but oh well, anyway Yes, I did well with the math, but I'm trying to Well, for additional courses in sciences, students currently They have multiple opportunities to in sciences have criminalistics, for the forensic science, environmental science, anatomy, honors classes in anatomy, too environmental APAP courses, physics, also preparation classes for university, uh, physics, so it's very equipped the sciences for third year. It has been common practice for students to They have been programmed for 3 years of science. uh yeah. So the courses are already available created and are being implemented. We are simply formalizing it as requirement. If they couldn't because of those courses They can be optional, yes, but health It is mandatory. We need to have a health class, TRUE?

142Well, according to what he wants and the wants to integrate. I want more separate them, but if we have to go That way, if I want the others to be well clearly defined. That's it. that I'm trying to get, But I'm going to go, we're going to continue and We'll talk more about this. AND Ethnic studies, this, is it a year or a semester? We currently have both options, courses that last a year and also this semester that will come out next year. We have studies of the ethnicities, these are year-round and They are currently offered in both schools. He's going to let us know about I want to see these courses. I have My eyes, I'm a visual person. But Thank you for your information. No more questions. Please reply soon, before Let my

143colleagues get angry, please. I know. Quick, very quick, by favor. Do you have plans to assemble staff? And teachers? How is he going to do it? and it They are going to survey students. teachers, using the way we use the year past and present bring together masters interested in teaching the classes, We asked who had that interest and we bring them together, we gather them Well, one requirement that existed was that we have to work together between the schools and we got to have representatives of the flowers Summerset, Bellflower and Mayfir They met this year, they looked at several several courses modeled them. First they looked at the resume of model that existed, they modeled the courses, they adapted them to bring together the our needs, what we wanted cover as a school. We present

144to approval of their courses this year We brought them back together as schoolchildren. the Year 10 literature team, ethnic studies, huh foundation for ethnic studies of ethnicities, They also gathered, They were given time to develop curriculum and teaching plans and We want you to do something similar to the finance course for teachers of each school and meet to develop the courses. I know you're not great, but no I don't think so. I know about design, teachers, how they develop, But what are the contributions of? What do teachers think about this? presentation, things like that. That's what I'm saying. asking. Well, that's what we're doing. now. Last Monday, he told them. We present the leadership teams In schools, the presidents of departmental and they are returning from the departments, They are having these conversations, collecting contributions

145from colleagues of their departments, They will have the opportunity to share their feedback Regarding the updated requirements, the strengths that we should consider, refinements, current challenges. Yes, it informs us in our next steps. Similarly, I will speak with students meeting with the group student advisor at each site, uh the student cabinets for to get their contributions with those focus groups to have more feedback on that inform us about the next steps. How many students are in those groups? I want us to have plenty. Okay, I'm going to stop asking questions and I'm going to tell you what I want. I want many contributions. I want to see many Many people ask them how teachers. As a teacher, I can see this. I love whoever made this board. Year of a full year, visual arts, this

146art, a semester of health. I want to, I I want options, I want to see options and Now listen, greetings, because we are very um, well, very for us it seems very important, because we want variety of and community contributions, teacher. That's what I'm looking for. I'd better go Stop it now. Thank you. Anyone else? I have the questions too. So my first question The talk is about the topic of immersion dual. What is the current process or courses offered to students of dual immersion in terms of world languages? In the high school from 9th to 12th grade, already that they have taken 6 or 7 years from another language, so what's going to be done For them? Currently the path to students is the additional courses of the language so that they may have

147this path literacy eh double. students coming from IOC, of dual immersion, they take seventh or eighth grade, they continue on their path in the high school so they can complete the third and fourth year, they take classes advanced Spanish, allows them complete 4 years in the world language for literacy necessary. Those are the courses that They take. There are no other immersion courses dual in the ninth and tenth grades, in other areas. of matter, eh, because they go all the way to eighth grade no more, but we are in process of having talks with the school secondary school, immersion teachers dual, Mayf's staff and for oh that the dual immersion program is more robust, providing additional opportunities for eh registrations in well simulating other districts, incorporating courses of Spanish at university level. of Cerritos school.

148We have spoken with Cerritos to offer those courses in high school, allowing that Take those immersion courses dual, uh that they are in line with the dual investment. Currently they have to take an additional two years to To meet that requirement, correct? for to be able to meet the double seal requirement This competition has to comply with 4 years in a foreign language. each student. I'm glad that he spoke Regarding the chronology, I was confused. about when this was going to take place new program, but I want to ask, Please, we ask you, some detailed programs, schedules, These simulations are to see where they will go integrate all these courses. I have the I'm also curious about how we're going to meet all these requirements and somewhat worried, not completely worried, but somewhat worried that

149We'll be integrating all of these courses, but perhaps not having all the rules that they have been addressed. So I think it has a whole board that He needs to see that. So if they can provide some simulated schedules on how That will be possible before it stops. I'm sure if it's possible to do it sooner. of our June deadline, because That's where we're going to approve the policies of the Board of Education with the AR. And we want to see that before that. If possible, it would give us the ability to be able to make a decision with more information and better informed. Yes, we're going to work on it. simulated schedules. That's why I had That was my intention in the slide. It's going to be different for students because they take different

150roads, but we have this schedule I simulated for someone from APAP, dual immersion, we can work in in those simulated programs. Thank you so much. My other question is also It's because if we move on to why it has a example of an eight-period schedule and another one of six. Can you give me any clarity? If we switch to a schedule of In six periods, students will be able to to have the support additional, as the member said The Sintron Board, as she requested. Well, the students could still obtain the courses in the course of eight courses in ELD, LD courses LD can take. would be part of their schedule As in the past, it would no longer be a question It allows them to take additional courses in its later years when it opens

151their schedule in the 11th and 12th grade. The six-class schedule creates a certain competition and it's a bit tight for that students can complete and Um, the requirements, sorry, and earn more support or additional support. But there are ways to address that, to be able to give them I support the students with seven eh periods or eight, well I'm not going to this You recommend a period of eight courses are better for students in the future, if we are going to require it all these courses. I think that a alternative schedule that gives the opportunity for students, This is the opportunity to complete multiple requirements without competition to be able to create access and opportunities For students, this would be something that helps. a lot. Students in that way can remedy grades, receive the support

152that they need during the school day. That is important, I think. AND then I think many of my The questions have already been answered with the questions my colleagues asked, but one more question I do have, I think it's important to keep going forward, By proceeding with this, we have Currently, the teachers in our eh source of personnel who can teach these courses. Yes. Absolutely. Have the staff who can currently uh can teach these courses with the following in mind the options we are trying to to address the following school year. APAP Cybersecurity at both sites. We are looking to incorporate, it is implementing, incorporating into the CTE road. Uh, in view of what which credentials and strengths already Some teachers have them too. They were addressing courses in AAP seminars at Mayfare school Next

153year, there are teachers who can take or who can this to teach these courses, oh, and this one too. seeing the desire to impart those classes, ethnic studies instead of select someone who wants it teach. We can ask the teachers, who wants it, who has it who is interested in teaching these courses He wants to do the work, because there are work to do to create these courses and to people who have given as a volunteer, like wanting to teach these classes. There are teachers who must have interest and a desire to create and add math courses and continue teaching the science classes that we currently have. and we have enough offers for mathematics students, because we have enough math options, but We could have done a better job creating eh optional mathematics classes additional,

154no more for students general college preparation and studies and the student body in In general, but that's the job and what has the science department as forensic criminality and other courses in science. We are looking to talk to math teachers to develop and create those courses as well. The total number of courses that are They will increase in this plan. As? Excuse me, could you say that again? The number of courses offered during the academic year The plan we have is going to increase. He's going to expand it. He's going to add more. Of What is he talking about? Of the courses that are offer during course registration or I'm trying to understand whether they will open more courses that they have that the students take. No, not necessarily just going back to categorize what

155they are already taking. Similarly, because the Students are already taking a third year of mathematics, sometimes a quarter year of mathematics. We are saying that They require 3 years, just like the sciences. And I think that so that they are ready for the career and university are already taking live and visual arts, languages foreigners, CT class. I think it's a only way to categorize and to say that this is an area of ​​focus for us as a district, that they are prepared for their races and universities. And we want them to take these classes so that they actually are Ready. Regarding the students When will you participate in this conversation? Are they going to be presented with that? When are we going? to begin having these conversations with them? Because while we continue It seems

156we need to do it. right now. We currently have the students, But it's very clear that we have to have a year to be able to carry out conversations with several people, teachers, staff, students, and power expand communications to the families too. So that's going to be it. next year, the work when the advisors are meeting with the students for programming Spring schedules The requirements will be shared in the autumn, but from there they are prepared for those conversations in the spring before enrolling in their courses to the next school year. Thank you for answering all the questions. questions. Anything else? Just one question. It seems that with all the planning They have two drafts for sixth and eighth period. It seems that He will divide his efforts. I know there haven't been any talks.

157in this regard. I know how I feel when Regarding that, I like the sixth periods, But maybe this conversation It should be expedited to have some of clarification on this matter to be able to better plan what we are going to implement. So it's just a comment for the table and the staff. This conversation It has to be done because it always HE I did a little bit here and there, but if we can shed some light on this plan. I don't see anything else, So we move on. The last talk has to do with 10.2. It is a presentation of the progress of data to the district. I'm going to give it to the Miss Bonnie Car. Good afternoon. Tonight I'm going to share an update for emphasize the progress in the local matrix

158and state. Annually We have a cycle of continuous improvement, which is participating in the process of elcap at the district and school level. The directors participate in a process similar for reviewing and refining the student achievements and plans security. It's for studying the metrics results, including these plans and gather input from partners and suggestions for improvements. A major update to ELCAP and Their results were provided in February and the directors are provided to district with its updates of squad in January. This year a coalition The guides were created to create the work, develop a strategic plan or plan for the future, which will guide the creation of future elcaps. In essence, the 5 strategic plan years is the what and the why of eh and what We want educational systems to have the students and

159why we are creating the systems to improve the student achievement and success. And the plan of the district for improvement is how and how much, what actions are we going to take to to implement the aspirations of the outline and how we're going to, how much we're going to assign these actions. At the moment We are finalizing the recommendations. As part of this leadership coalition We are looking at the profile of of the apprentice and working the definitions of what the attributes are of the learning profile and which They could be. Tonight, we're going to Focus on results related to CAP. It has three goals that focus on safe schools, academic achievements and continuous communication with its partners and the parents. This year there was an effort to increase accountability and conversations in the data

160and the taking of sessions to align the tables and of superintendent and his goals so that develop. These goals are or some poles for the leaders where They develop the goals on the site and They evaluate progress. The accountability system These are the indicators on the dashboard of California. These results, the districts are identified for attendance and student groups They're not achieving more than one out of two areas on the board. This shows Our progress, eh, after the 4 years and can see that in 2023 24 We identify assistance based on the achievements of English learners and African American students. However, later in other years his groups They improved and are no longer seen as included as student groups that qualify for to have more existence. That means that the work we have done for

161to ensure that those groups are Having successes is being sustained as it should currently be done in the California dashbow and none of those groups qualify to receive assistance. The idea that we focus Well, it's improved, you can see it more clearly. In this slide, looking at the schools who qualify in total for assistance the last 4 years. 23 there were 13 out of 15 schools qualified to receive assistance based on your progress with improve student achievement. The most schools were identified in the area of ​​chronic absenteeism this year, since it was the first year after COVID. And as you can see, the rest of the The slide focuses on the groups students at the school level. No We have no students, none school that is in ATSIR eh assistance in the year 2026. As

162part of the efforts to continue and increase the central focus, the data, we have developed a dashboard data so that the schools can review the survey results ELCAP. We conduct an annual survey of the educational partners to receive data on the impact of implementing the actions within ELCAP. In the years Previously, that data was provided to the sites in PDF this year. However, we are providing sites with a dynamic dashboard where can uh They can separate the data and they can see it. based on surveys. The administrators, community, teachers and Parents can use the sites with comments and anecdotes and we believe that This resource will be very useful for our school administrators. The following slides will focus in the survey results ELCAP and the data points that are shared with educational partners as part

163of the ELCAP process. This The slide shows us, as they can You see, we've had quite an increase. in the survey responses ELCAP with 900 more responses this year. You can see it here. It also includes classified personnel and we had more than 100 and more than 300 80 accredited uh, like answers. The increase in responses was due to to sharing with school staff What was the progress, but the teams They took the time to make sure that all voices were heard in This survey, and that's why we have this increase. The first goal is to provide collaborative learning spaces, security and the main goal is that the students go to schools that are safe, supportive, and inclusive. The State assesses this when reporting the suspensions, absenteeism and rates of gradation. We have increased the

164rate of suspension. We've gone from green to orange on the California dashboard, but African Americans and homeless groups They are no longer found in the red. 33% of the milestones improved their rates of suspension last year. As you know As previously mentioned, the goal has been to support the sites so that they can Focus more on the data and we'll help you. to provide support on how to get data of areas to be able to monitor the improvements and areas where they exist needs throughout the year. The tables What you see here highlights the progress of the discipline as an example of what they can use as data. There are fewer total number of students suspended current ones of what existed previously and Fewer suspensions on site, but more incidents of other types of discipline.

165Uh, it means the sites are implementing response systems punitive measures to discipline, to support for stages where they can carry out correction of different measurements restorative practices. This pattern is repeated when we see the data based on offenses, eh by student. Also This slide shows us schools that are orderly and safe, and like CAP data is showing that We have an increase, uh, for all the areas. Uh, we're seeing that in the healthy children survey that They are not part of the CAP survey, We have a comparison between 2024 and 25 and in all areas in secondary school, primary school, teachers and parents we have seen an increase in perception to feel safe at school. Our commitment to developing systems with stages through the PS of interventions and services of behavior and those are the

166rewards that we have won and the schools that have done the work to receive these acknowledgments. Another factor that impacts the environment student attendance student. We've improved a little in This area. The groups that reported as red, they are no longer reporting as reds. based on the results in the dashboard. we switched from yellow to orange tree why don't we increase enough to keep us in yellow, but 53% of the belts improved from last year. Uh, the areas and the data They show that we are projecting that there may be a slight improvement this year. A strategy that it is using this year The attendance of the students, to communicate, the importance of attending school in social media. We have also mounted efforts to communicate with the families, students who are absent, including making calls

167personal, review the practices of independent study and carry out meetings with students' families who are absent and constantly. An incentive has also been increased and recognition programs. The district's graduation rate It increased by 4%, reaching 94%. The most noticeable improvement was in the rate of Summer High School Graduation which went from 65.4 to 83.5%. It is also important to realize that English learners and students with disabilities, those groups too they had a large increase compared to last year. This can be attributed to the enhanced communication and support that is It provides students with the adults on staff, including the guidance from the advisors and the focus on increasing the connection of the students to school. This year we have done the environment and culture an improvement such as something we are focusing on this student

168internships, dedication in implement the practices. We have seen increase increase in student connectivity with students, teachers with students. Parents in surveys have said that they feel, uh, like part of the learning environment that increased 75% of last year. I also report that organization of hearts of We students have been appointed a East district of the rising star. 11 of the 15 schools have gained status of crescent star. This talks about the implementation and responses positive surveys we have received. This CQH program has, uh, in regarding the implementation of our programs, as part of the implementation impact that we see this professional development and support that in the next year and this will continue implementation. Alcap's second goal is about the university preparation and achievements academics. We have remained at the same level green in this

169area, given that we have increased the percentage of students who graduate prepared in compared to last year with by 4.3%. all the groups that were in red level, they're not in the red anymore. We have improved and we continue focusing on this improvement. We want that 100% of students graduate and Continue with this progress and eh his achievements. We want to increase the graduation of prepared students for university in its courses, the same as graduates of students of English. Uh, ACAP's survey shows a high level of opportunities information that students have about eh universities eh Cerritos, AVIT, in other programs that have increased opportunities for take courses from this dual enrollment now also available in Samester and The Flowers. ELCA survey data shows that parents have obtained more information compared to last year about career

170opportunities and universities. Increase from 59.23 to 87.23 this year. Uh, we'll focus on this. of the advisors in this area. We continue the Instagram accounts of the advisors that They frequently publish on both sites. There are ample opportunities for students and parents who receive Information and support on preparation for graduation, and to enter the universities and careers. This gives information about Steam programs and enrollment and investment programs double. This slide shows other metrics on our successes post-graduation that they have students. We have that 42% are prepared for these requirements that They are meant to be in this position. universities. Those who register in 4-year institutions in understanding of postgraduate success. We are using national data that registrations report and persistence and persistence rates. Uh, registrations at UC and CSU. We are Updating the student survey

171in order to keep track of the eh student activities postgraduate studies. Let's move on to the next one slide. Academic achievements. We can see that We have increased the percentage of students and competition on state exams. We have status yellow, we want to arrive and pass the levels before the pandemic for all students and all groups of students. Compared to the year In the past, 60% of schools have shown improvements and with great growth, eh? more than 9% in some schools. As you can see that the students African Americans are no longer in the red and the percentage of this student group has improved compared to last year by 3%. Uh, the level chart, uh shows that these restorations After COVID, the rates have changed that we had before COVID. You can see this data

172in the student group. The students of English have passed more than the percentages It was before COVID, but it's still an approach improvement for us in looking at the data by our partners. We see negative trend or no trend. This shows us our approaches in These areas to meet the needs of students. In the 2324 school year We wanted to implement more courses In mathematics, this provides more support to the students, it's not a platform they have access no more than 30 minutes, but it is a platform that supports students to select additional practices for students on compliance and rules that this must comply with for content they have already seen previously. Support students in that topic and has the highest implementation. In view of the good, we want to expand that. If we look

173at and achieve the goal of pass more the rates before COVID, the English students have surpassed by 44% Regarding schools that comply and 14% have reached the goal of passing over 50% in achievements. send the data of milestones for this year. We have seen improved achievements in almost all schools in view of growth. We have seen growth almost all the schools too. This year we spent time talking with administrators, helping them understand how to grow the achievements for students, which the students continue to grow and close that gap. We are looking for a rate of 50% growth in mathematics and in ALS. English arts, the language arts English have passed competition in all the schools, across the entire group student. Depositiva has shown that we went from orange to yellow. Hey, improved 8.4 four students

174with Disabilities are no longer in the red. We have improved the competition of students across the district by 4% and have seen increase in 11th grade students surpassing pre-COVID rates. In the 29%, 50% of students have passed through school have achieved 29% of students and 70% of schools have reached higher scores. And now we are not going to destig These are the dual immersion students. We see that although we had a This year's decline remains high at 59.6%, 6% higher than the percentage of the district. That's not in that slide, so please excuse me for not that No, it's not there, but instead of the tables... in the state, students African Americans, others with disabilities The pre-COVID percentages have passed. in Look at the data, as we have seen. in 4, 5 and 6 an

175increase. It's difficult. display data for high schools because there is a gap in the exams, uh, as for what year they are in dan. and see this year's milestone data. We have seen an increase in all the schools from fall to to winter. We have seen growth also in all schools. for continue to comply with these rules. This Professional learning is important, There is an increase in all areas for give teachers opportunities to additional learning, area with more growth, the monitoring of the schools on the practices of teaching. The district can see that the visits that administrators receive in the classrooms, 100 visits throughout the district, is an increase in what we have fulfilled in the past, which has which has to do with an increase in feedback and collaboration in school sites. The survey

176shows that the students have eh opportunities to learn content critical, the approach to materials eh of instruction. This, however, is the lowest percentage. We are focusing on this in the future, uh, looking at opportunities that might continue to increase these rates. The ALCAP survey also shows increase in teacher collaboration. This year there is a high percentage of agreement where teachers meet, review data, they make interventions resume, uh, they're in their place in the schools. Okay, go ahead. The focus will be increase progress monitoring and analysis of collected data. Hey, As I said before, looking at the evaluations and develop them by developing them. Uh, the Survey data shows an increase in the agreement that the schools have clear goals. This, the students They know if they are meeting their goals. All areas agree that we

177can This will continue with refining the supports and processes because according to what is still being said They need continuous efforts. They have turned out some celebrations and some this awards for the school. highest year for 6 years P Flower accreditation has had achievements of the group of students of honor, uh, courses, students in courses of honor. We would be happy to share that Las Flores is also the first that wins or manages to become a school, eh with school recognition this featured. eh, goal three in the approach LCAP in continuous communication. Uh, there are an increase in our publications, on social media. There We have more views. We have grown in this area in the presence of Instagram with over 740 followers and a high percentage of organic views and an increase in ad

178views. Uh, the ALCAP results too show that there is an increase in the perception that the school gives Information and resources for parents in areas for continuous focus. They are the perception that if schools give workshops for families, they provide, because we've gone down in other areas. I have contributed self-contributed content to the sites schoolchildren. It is not that there is an increase in participation, but there is the perception that the workshops are offering. So we're having a conversation on the topic, saying that we are giving showing factors in the district in So we have more recordings in These places where this exists... information. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding or Perhaps we need to publish and announce eh in a better way. We have spoken with directors to see what he means this. Uh, another

179low area in this slide is the websites interactive. What we're looking at is that we want to see that the department PIO will give us more professional development the administrators to help them with the knowledge of how to continue updating their websites and providing Oh, workshops for directors so that can do the work together. The public information office has worked very hard in the television, creating videos, eh spots, highlighting our programs, registration campaign. We have increasing contact with the communication with trade fairs, conference of special education, fairs east of primary schools, exhibition and a available resources fair for the community. promotional videos for the dual investment program, programs of eh in the eh of the independent study in the flowers. It was created and published for share with families why they should to bring their

180students to the district from Belflower. We are also this learning and leading outside of district, highlighting the work that we do and share our ideas in like this Axa and Calza at the conference of equity. Uh, in the summer we're going to present at the Summer Institute. That brings us to the end at the end of our uh of our progress update on the data. Thank you, Mrs. Caro, for your presentation. Comments. Yes, I only have two things. First The question is not about the data, I want some clarification exactly what is it capturing the hearts of young people. I heard that uh uh, he said that name many times, But I don't know exactly what it is. You are hurting my heart, Chubique. I'm glad you heard it, That's positive in the in the

181in the the You speak in social interactions that are They stayed this year. If you recognize that, Well, capturing the hearts of the Hóbles is an organization that we attract to help us with development professional for how we can this include students and make them part of the lounge. Those social contacts that see all classrooms are part of to engage you and involve you more in the area around the classrooms so that you and your fellow students be responsible and give their account accounts. Well, one final note I want to say, I I'm going to assume that the data that we eventually collect from this It will make us think about what we need to change. In the district, what else needs to be added? modify, remove. And I want to say which I think

182is important have more student positions in things like this, because I know that our The community is very diverse, teachers, We have advisors, uh, staff classified, parents, students, but At the end of the day, most things students will be impacted. So I feel like, well, I want to be here. It would be nice to have more students in the fourth when that happens. So we have the right ideas in mind regarding policy changes. What I see is Those social media... And ads, we grew up with that. I know you don't, I'm not saying that you don't have that information, uh, but we do have that information and this I know what it is what do the students want, what is it that captures a student, how to give the message, it would be nice if

183they had more student demonstrations. Thanks for your comments, Chavi, that It is appreciated. Well, what I'm hearing It's because you're volunteering for social media. Does anyone else have questions? comments? I have a question. In fact, we're talking about how we no longer have African American students and you learn from English which don't help us qualify for the additional assistance. Can you speak a A little bit about that? Can you clarify this for me? It means we still have a percentage, but it's not enough to qualify or we're at zero. When we see assistance for student group districts in two different areas. So, when you see That slide, I don't know if they can to put it, but the English learners, Those two are racing Yaria, languages, art, English and mathematics. For African Americans it was

184suspensions and then arts, language and mathematics. This means they have made improvements in these areas. For example, I talked about the English learners who are continuing to have better rates in graduation and African Americans students. There has been a definition, the amount of suspension for them and one of these is no longer present, then they are no longer in 2 hours and They do not qualify for assistance. Then we continued watching all the student groups They're simply not qualifying for have assistance. That's why the The goal is to ensure that all the schools and student groups are going through the rate before COVID. and we listened to each other They went overboard before COVID, but the percentage of schools was more than 50, So we simply continued to increase the goal. So, the goals and

185these increases, How frequently are they doing this per year? after a year or how? We're going to analyze the data year after year. and see how they compare and from there determine These goals are meant to be achieved. So it's annually to respond to your question. Yes I have. Maybe they know the answer. To the Better not. How do we know for sure that we are using other options when we are talking about suspensions with our African American students or students in minorities? can tell him that what we see for What you'll find in the correcting is what you'll find in the Ais screen, disconnect a discipline in a school site is determined if the student is going to be suspended or is going to carry out another type of correction and That ends based

186on the gravity of what has happened. So what What we do is look at the data And that's where we got those codes from. to see. For example, tonight there was a decrease in suspension and a increase in other types of corrections understanders at the school site They would take out and see based on their groups student and from there they can investigate I'll look into this further and see if there's anything else. pattern. If there are students who have several incidents, and that's why what we are doing, as a school system to support that and these are all the schools in the district He has these conversations, they are investigating further, making sure that they are looking at these little details. Yes, they are. extracting that data. For example, them I shared that this

187year the directors They gave an update in the middle of year in January to the cabinet. As part this, before this period of time they we provide uh in Aries uh so they can bring out their our own data and then they can introduce. So that's the effort in addition to Dr. Simen's goals and the goals of the directors additional, that we are now more data-focused. Perfect, thank you. If I had a question further, but I forgot Critfield. Uh, the registration campaign we know, maybe That's a question for someone, but What budget do we set for the campaign? registration? I think we paid advertising. It was specifically outlined. I don't know, I guess it's out of the bottom general because the PIO is from superintendent's department. I don't know the figure of how much was

188used in that Campaign. We can find out how much we spent on this registration campaign, Specifically regarding advertising, the We had an increase on Instagram. It seems so, that the campaign of Registration is performing well in all platforms, but I have the curious to know how much we invest in that. And one more question, please help me, because There is some data here. What are they? the data? What do they reflect? It depends on which table, which slide, but if we're talking From the dashboard, this will be the data Last year, the CAS is also the year past, But he's viewing the information in Aries, this is current and this is what We are continuing to improve. It's meant to be done every 3 months. So, Some of the data is from last year And

189something is current. I have a comment and then a ask. Is there any way or this in Friday's memorandum that Can we have the full presentation? Because there was a slide that didn't... He gave us, which he presented. I titled it and saw the slide, which is that there are transitions in this. So I think that when The impression was made, this one didn't He grasped the transition, I'll get it for him. I also wanted to emphasize what he said student member check, which to It's better when students are involved on social media in a more official in school buildings. Perhaps we can carry out some type of internship and may receive some type of credit. It can help with all the other things what they have to do and things that are required of

190them, and that I think this is a skill too It's fun, and many of the others Students will want to participate. Apart from that, so they can find out how advertising, not only to students, but for the other public in the community. I think that the experience I have had up to They have some very good ideas right now and They understand the trends, but it also focuses in in the messaging behind all of this. Believe that those two groups as teachers or IPOs can perhaps be brought together to create something that is very robust so that may receive some credit. I think that It will also help with how culture is carried out in the the team. It is also simply a idea. I also want to give him the Hevique knowledge and this

191is what had. Thank you. Oh, I just remembered the question. In the Slide 25 talked about the professional learning communities. As a teacher, I know that in kindergarten I will to have perhaps six to eight children that They'll probably come out low on their punctuation. Hopefully not, but sometimes it is happens. Schools, how do schools and the teachers, how are you maintaining a I'm registering this? Because it happens year after year. These children appear in the data. What is it that is doing for keep a record of these children and investigate in depth which ones are the support systems that they are we giving as a school system? Me I'm glad I asked this question. It's something I've been talking about what he's talking about with the directors, He is talking about the process of

192intervention, the program we have currently and what we can refine. He visited every planet in the school recently to talk to the directors to see what it looks like monitoring progress. So I understand where things are headed. thinking. I think it still exists to develop a little more, But the conversation is moving towards cape and this is part of what was saying in part of the presentation, that we need to continue to focus in common assessments and what they will to do so that they can be part of the monitoring progress. AND so when they are carrying out the assessments in kindergarten, they realize that their eight students are not meeting the mark or score of these evaluations, which so We are frequently monitoring it and we are continuing to do so during the year.

193That needs to be improved, it's something we're talking about Currently, and my goal is to continue This is for next year. I'm excited to hear your ideas in this regard. Thank you. More questions, comments. Well, now have any issue we want to remove from the consent agenda tonight It doesn't seem so. I'm going to withdraw the 11.20, please. I have a motion to approve the agenda of consent with the exception of 1120. Motion seconded. We took attendance, please. Chevique, yes. Armstrong, yes. Stuart. Cintrón, yes. Cratchfield, yes. Garza, yes. The only issue that was withdrawn was 1120. I think this It is the amendments and points listed in the contracts. I have some sources prontes de los contratos. Have some requests from St. Joseph, private school. I understand that They are part of the money, they

194have to be give to them. But the question to Staff here, is there any What is the limit and how often is it done? Yeah There is a limit, there is a percentage that the private schools are allowed to receive and is part of all the funds of qualification. So if there is a limit when it says how often they arise the contracts like that. If the contracts are like that, We've seen some before, but this one is The one we've seen, in fact, two of them at the same time is something very infrequent that Look at a contract, but This speaks to the needs of the private schools. So if we have there has been an increase in schools private entities that are using their funds, so maybe you'll see more things like that

195from now on. And if not They use the funds, because I suppose that We already have these sections, They keep them for next year, what What's happening to the funds? These funds They would be similar even in how we use The title funds will be given a A new allocation each year. So, if They don't use the full funds, what's happening? plus whatever is left over. Well, the funds of son eh have a lasting 27 months, they have to use during this period of time and then we are given another assignment to Title Two, so they continue to have an allocation year after year, but it doesn't go to continue growing and growing if not They use. Okay, thanks. My next one, or do you want it? Well, sorry, thank you. My next question is

196about how much from Paper Education America. I see which we have for 167,424. It says here that 2025, 2027, But perhaps it was a mistake on the part of because I think I read a contract that It's from June to July. Yes, it spans the years prosecutors because it's for the school of summer. We are using... advice Academic paper grow. It is different from that exists online. There will be tutors or academic advisors during the summer academy with the students. Besides going to summer school, They are also given this system of support during the summer. Yes, they will have theirs. summer school teacher. Remember that those teachers teach multiple degrees, so they're going to teach in different degrees. Grow teaches another and then they can be exchanged. So, the timeline or 20 25 to 207

197is for the summers, no further. 20 25 26 27 is not during the year regular school. It is not currently, But it can happen in a renovation, but this It's not the renewal, that's for the summer school. Okay, thanks. That's all it didn't have case. No, no, it didn't make sense to me. until now. Thank you. in reference to the contact with the department of Aguailes and the one from the chef of Contado de Los Angeles on functions and security on safety in school functions uh, during, he says it's for the rate, uh fixed. What is that? rate? Well, I'll have to look into it. He The original contract must have the amounts, they didn't update them, but in we put the board's file original contract and the amendment. It I can look for the

198original. It's the same amount than the original contract. Yeah. They didn't ask for any increase in the proportion, just an extension of time and we also only use it for Our special events, right? graduation and it's correct. We used them several years ago for American football games. In the Not in recent years, but we're back It's been 3 years, but it's only graduation, but two or three matches of American football existed before that. And the contract also says that if required a physical space in our facilities Schoolchildren can make the request them and we must provide them with the space, the furniture, paper, this, that's normal. I don't I know those contracts. It may be a common practice for them and may that the contract is a bit outdated Regarding time, the period to which

199it refers to the period of time when they were school campuses. Now only We use them for special events They can make the request, but this one doesn't It has to be fulfilled. Eh lo We need it in the contracts, right? For The services we use, right? So, That is normal language that is included in in case the situation arises. In the eh There may also be situations where They have to... move large units of units. They allows the contract to be processed quickly displace those eh eh officials to the necessary teams. is The language in that is a bit... ah, uh... old-fashioned contact, but it must still remain so that the responsibilities that we have They have to ask or and and we can We will proceed with the decision. Well, Let me rephrase

200the question. Yeah that some Does it ever happen that there is some space already? designated or we would have to uh formulate or provide them with one. Well, in that moment we provide you there is space in all the teams with the registrations that have declined. have space, we don't have to designate spaces now because it is not a need, but it can easily be what to do if a situation arises where requires. And this is perhaps apart from the contract, We can possibly search or look at look at the security protocols such Once this happens, it's something the committee... security can address. Have segments in the district where if something We could already have a space designated thinking ahead ensuring use limited time we have in a emergency to perhaps already designate a space

201where that can happen. No I would like to lose These minutes are important if there are any emergency of that type. That could be Something great for this short film that's coming. that talk regarding security school. Okay, we'll add it to the list. Well, thank you very much. I no longer have questions. I have a question, Sorry, but this came up. Which ones are these academic levels and teachers are teaching multiple levels, this uh during the summer? Typically It is about first and second, third and fourth, uh and fifth and sixth. They are schools primary. So yes, that's what it's about. primary schools and I can obtain the specific information of what exists this year. I know that some districts No, they don't make it mandatory, but They make it optional. How is it that

202choose the summer school for the primary? We looked at the scores, huh? WBA, students who need this eh They need additional support. Let's begin with there and those students were It offers the opportunity. First I would like See more about that, because if we are looking at that as a strategy of intervention and we are trying to uh change or if there are courses or teaching different academic levels, I don't know how that can be advantageous. Well, Let me take a look to see what that looks like. this year. I'm going to extract it and give it to him I put it in the updates. Okay, thanks. Okay, perfect. Do I have a motion? to approve this point? I make the motion, I second that. I vote, please. Student member Chavica. Yes sir, Yes, sir,

Chivfield and I went to the juices for the contest of Lions debates. The theme was community. We didn't have any students from Bellflower district. request. We hope to promote some of these small scholarship opportunities students. Something I wonder about The personal thing is that if there is someone in the district that can put all these scholarships and competitions in one place to be able to disclose the information to the students. If you can tell me if We have this, the Friday memorandum I would appreciate it. From April 11 to 16 it was to the Washington DC conference of

211CP. Key advocacy points when we meet with the congressmen They were IDA, online security, AIA, CTA and a concern on social media social and mental health. We need to focus our exploitation data to have security settings, expand eh advertising policies and addressing cyberbullying. The proposed law and Children and the privacy law 2.2 It gives Congress a pact to have significant protections so that can do this with AI. We advocate with increased transparency, supervision in internships student safeguards personal information, provides infrastructure financing and cybersecurity and training and establish clear tools to students and staff in the classrooms. CTE wanted to expand CTE funds for support strategies for recruiting and retain the indicators and we We spend 100,000 to 120,000 per year in the Parkins Grant funds, which We use it for supplies and materials supplementary, etc.

212So We just want to water and make sure that those funds are still available available. The ID is very simple, We've talked about that, that we have to Receiving 40% of the funds is not the case. So We continue to push for the full 40%. We have advocated for small increases every year so that we can recreate this fund and have more funds for the students of special education. One session she attended had some very sad and disturbing statistics in the polls. They found, I emphasize of the K1 budget, 2.2 thousand Millions are invested in Taroe for improve teacher training and not 819,000 are named in cuts to the three titles that are used for immigrant funds and apprehension English, 327 eh to the education of immigrants, 1.4 billions of cuts in the titles four

213funds that are the support academic and enrichment. What I took away most of all is that shows that if a democratic republic today earring. Education is supported by our priorities. In all the The parts are almost identical, then, Why is it so difficult? I don't understand that. This isn't a topic at all, huh? supporter. So as a member and Teacher, I see the memories that security and it's frustrating when we know we have it that there be more funds for education and And they're not there. It is important to have these talks, so call the elected local and state officials, just like federal congressmen, Senators, when we are talking about our children. I enjoyed all of this spending time with my colleagues and doing networking with the other members and the superintendents. On Friday I

214went to the services and recognitions of the PTE. Thanks to the PTE for everything they do for our community, our families. It was a beautiful ceremony for a tribute and from volunteer teachers, administrators who truly make a mark difference in the district.
