004an update regarding our enrollment projections and all the movement that's happening around the barasa community thank you Tom we welcome you to our meeting this evening Tom I'm going to stop you for one second I'm not sure if your mic is working absolutely every time there you go thank you work now good good okay for grad is going to focus on on this table before I get to the bottom line numbers and that's TK and K but first of all Fifth and eighth back from 2016 to 2018 you had amounts on the 800s in 8th grade and amounts in the 700s in fifth grade so just graduating those eighth grade amounts out and those fifth grade amounts in caused significant Middle School decline then by the time we got to 2019 to 2021 you had
005amounts in the 700s in eighth grade but you started getting amounts in the 600s in fifth grade so again just the rolling out of those numbers 700's going out 600's coming in was causing a middle school Decline and that's why from 2016 to 2019 there down at the bottom you'll see that you lost more students at the middle school level than actually the elementary level despite having only half as many grades 229 versus 210 um at the same time the reason the elementary numbers were going down is because in kindergarten you had had amounts in the 700s that then fell in the 600s the same time amounts that were slightly larger were graduating from fifth grade so that caused both grade levels to be going down but more significantly on a per grade basis at
006the middle school level since 2019 both grade levels have lost significant student numbers much more so in the past you'll notice that the elementary amount increased by essentially 2 and a half times whereas the Middle School amount less than doubled none less nonetheless on a per grade basis it was more significant the Middle School level again if you look at 8th grade you're seeing amounts in 700s versus amounts in 600s in the fifth grade what changed last year was for the first time we had a smaller amount in e8th grade than we had in fifth grade and that's a significant factor and that's the uh yellow highlighted 688 and 653 that's the first time in a long long time you actually had more kids in fifth grade than 8th grade and so just rolling those
007amounts forward gave you 697 in sixth grade this year and that's a significant chunk of why you grew at the middle school level you notice for next year we got another small eighth grade and that's why I don't have a decline for next year at the middle school level what also happened uniquely at the middle school level this year is you gained from 5ifth to sixth and from sixth to 7th and from 7th to 8th which you hadn't done also in quite a long time so there was trends that really changed the Middle School level um compared to the recent past and even compared to my projections that I wasn't expecting however at the elementary level if you look at the gray the uh beige highlighted kindergarten figures you went from the 700s from 2016
008to 2019 the 600s in 2020 and 21 to the 500s since then that's a huge plummet at the same time TK prior to this year went from the 140s to the 110 so you were having significantly lower numbers coming at at the bottom end and uh the reason you had any gain at the elementary level this year was because the big increase in TK a big chunk of reason reason for was because you went from five months of Eligibility birth eligibility to nine months of birth eligibility obviously that's not gonna be repeated you're not gonna be able to gain another four months because you already have nine months eligible so going forward we have uh you'll see later smaller birth numbers and smaller kindergarten numbers which means also on a per month basis birth month
009basis the TK numbers will go down as well so even though we'll expand to 12 months of birth eligibility after next year we also have smaller numbers of kids coming up in that amount so the reasons that you gained at the elementary level this year are essentially erased after this year does that make sense to everybody next slide please okay going forward top row you'll see we got 665 again in 5ifth and 637th in eth so that's why for next year I've got a 21 student gain you see down there in the bottom yellow at the middle school level simply because we got a bigger amount coming in from fifth that's the last time we have that happen in one year 2026 we have essentially the same amount in all other forecast years we have
010a much larger amount graduating from e8th and coming in from fifth um I shouldn't say much larger slightly larger amount but the trends to the grades now appear to be picking up some kids from fifth to sixth and sixth to seventh seventh eth that's why I have a very small loss at the middle school level going forward despite having some larger amounts the only real significant loss of Middle School level is when the current sixth graders graduate from eth in two years three years excuse me um the big difference what's happening in these numbers is what's down in K this is based on Trends in your neighborhoods and especially the birth data you'll see that whereas before we were talking about kindergarten numbers in the 700s a few years ago I'm now projecting amounts in
011the 400s that is a Monumental shift so as low as the current numbers are after next year they're going to be even lower and TK grows a little bit because you expand to 12 months but also with smaller numbers coming in at the kindergarten level that means there's always obviously less TK students on a per month basis at the TK level does that make sense to everybody bottom line is I'm projecting significant losses at the elementary level totaling about 700 kids in five years and only about 77 kids in the Middle School level in five years the shift is toy the element and it's all based on what's going on in kindergarten in particular next slide please okay as you've heard me say before well maybe Jah hasn't but everybody else has heard me say
012a million times before um all my analyses are based on where your students live by housing type by general price range Etc not because I care if a kid is Rich or poor but because I'm trying to understand where the changes are happening or not happening and then evaluate the likelihood for those Trends to continue and in your District the places that had new housing going on not only in the last year but in the previous three or four years still some trends of gaining kids that's Vincy Park and Northwood the entire rest of the district is in Decline and in the areas as you'll see slide in a minute the areas that have the more affordable housing are in the more severe decline because of that in the last year on that column on
013the left you'll see Northwood added 39 K5 this excludes TK added 39 kids living in its attendance area in the Elementary grades um Vincy Park added 36 but we had Brook tree lose 51 or more than 10 % we had Majestic Way lose 33 and toyan I highlighted in 20 even though it's not officially 25 amount because that's almost 10% of the kids in Toyon as well so we had some significant losses going in particularly in the most affordable parts of the district but also an existing housing as a whole in the district um and the only place you're gaining at all was where the new housing has been located in the last couple years going forward again we still have more new housing going in Northwood we have a little bit going on in
014Summerdale the next couple years so Summerdale has essentially no no loss Northwood has more of a gain and the rest all losses and some of those losses based on what I'm expecting in kindergarten compared to what it's graduating from fifth grade living in those attendance years of your kids we got losses of 40 for Brook Tree 47 for Lan view 65 Majestic Way 58 for Ruskin um and 34 for Noble just in the next two years again that's big fifth grades going out and small kindergartens coming in I want to point out one thing about North wood because the attendance boundary changed uh three years ago between Northwood Brook tree and Lan view you had a lot of kids grandfathered at Northwood many of those kids have graduated out now we're down to just a
015net gain of 27 kids at Northwood from the grandfather kids well those will be those will be graduating out in the next two years so even though I'm projecting a resident student gain of 41 kids in terms of the attendance at Northwood it may be a wash with the loss of the net gain of kids graduating out does that make sense to everybody you following me okay right now in grades four and five in particular we have kids grandfather and I think everyone knows what grandfather means still at Northwood because they were already enrolled at Northwood when we made the attendance boundary change the next two years that net gain at 27 is going to go away so even though I'm having 41 more kids living in the Northwood attendance area in two years it's
016almost a wash from what might be the enrollment at Northwood everybody F on that so I'm not worried about that gain at Northwood I'm more worried about the losses and some of the other attendance areas one last thing to comment which you all know you've got some magnet programs particularly cherrywoods Mandarin dual Merion program so its numbers are actually majority of its kids come from outside its attendance area and because those kids come from outside its attendance area obviously attendance areas that those kids came out of show a net loss in the intradistrict patterns next slide please okay at the middle school level again the only new housing recent has been in the moral attendance area so it had growth this year by 59 kids got some more projected growth in the next two years
017the other two attendance areas have a modest amount of decline forecast in the next two years again this is a huge shift from the trend in the past last year from two years ago to last year for example all three of those attendance lost significant student numbers but that's bounding me out now next slide please okay again I do all my analyses based on where your kids live could I have records of your kids going back to 2 one by each of these housing types and general income levels and this table's been split into three parts but I'll just summarize real quickly the more affordable attached housing meaning apartments condos town houses and plexes has had the more significant losses especially at the lowest grades and the next most affordable category the the more affordable
018detached homes also had significant losses especially in lowest grades the places where you where you were basically stabilized in K2 this year were the more expensive housing categories and to display that in this first category you'll see that in the last three years in K2 um these units lost 61 kids out of a total that's only in the 260s that's a significant percentage loss in K2 and in the last year alone it lost 25 so it went down by 11% in the last year and 22% in the last three years of kids in K2 in just these this housing category that's a significant loss in three years's time and a significant loss in one year's time when I get into the upgrade attached are mainly tow houses and some Duets more expensive housing that lost
01997 over the last three years but only one of that 97 occurred in the last year in K2 does everybody see where I am on the table so the net difference in the last year is actually 0% at K2 it's stabilizing at a lower level but nonetheless stabilizing unlike in the more affordable units next slide please when we get into the more affordable detached homes again you lost 146 but out of a much larger number than the apartments um you fell from 920 to 619 over the last seven years but most of that fall from 920 actually occurred before the pandemic hit and that was again I think as I've said before related to the price of housing it's just hard for the more affordable housing types had um moderate income families and it's very
020hard now for moderate income families to move into those units at the current prices so you already had a significant decline going on before the pandemic hit but it got really bad since then too you dropped from 76 825 to 765 and in the last year you lost another uh 79 students in K2 or again 11% so the more affordable housing in the district is where you're getting the bigger hit in K2 both recently and going forward in the forecast when I get into what I call the middle income detached housing it lost 72 kids in K2 in the last three years but only seven of that was in the last year next slide please and when I get to more expensive housing you actually had a nominal net gain in K2 in the most
021expensive housing in the last year so it's basically in the LA in the the last couple years you've had the declines going on in tk8 across the board but in K2 it's been concentrated in your most affordable housing and that has comparable impacts on the attendance areas where that housing is concentrated next slide please okay these are what I call communitive advancement rates you've heard me discuss this before um this is evaluating the grade to grade Trends as they cumulate how many kids in kindergarten from the existing house neighborhood we in first grade the next year in second grade the year after that third grade the year after that and I evaluate how they Evol evolve through the pattern and what has happened in all the districts I did data four 20 plus is everybody
022had the rates go just plummet during the pandemic for obvious reasons and we went if you look in the rightmost colored column you're relatively affordable and IM attached from 2016 to 2019 actually gained kids as they graduated up from from first grade to eth grade nominally but they gained kids and they were actually higher than was happening in other districts in general during the pandemic it went from 1.03 to 0.58 and 0.55 it halfed in other words half those kids were going to be gone between first grade and eighth grade if those rates continued over a seven-year period this year it bounced all way back up to 1.14 it's just an anomaly I think based on you lost so many kids during the pandemic that a few of them coming back caused an abnormal rate
023this year I point this out because it tells me really the most accurate rates to consider going forward are actually ones all the way back from 2016 to 2019 the rates that happened in the years since then were so erratic that they're unlikely to to be repeated in the future same thing goes for upgrade attached it went from 74 down to 042 bounced it back up to 08 you'll see the um when I get down into the even the middle income sfd it fell from 1.0 to 081 and back up to 1.2 so again I think the rates from 2016 to 2019 with some modification of what happened last year are the more accurate rates to apply to the forecast does that make sense to everybody again that's a judgment call I've never done this
024in I've been doing this since 85 and I've never been dealing with a rate that I had to go back four years in time with to get but the rates are just so erratic during the pandemic that they're really meaningless for the forecast and that's a big judgment Co next slide please okay this is probably the most important table other than the projected numbers that I'm presenting it's a complex table that compares the burst in zip code 95132 which is the only zip code enti in this District um with what showed up in kindergarten five years later from that zip code and the assumption is that the trend that happened within that zip code part of your District probably applies to the rest of the district as well um and if you look back in
025when I say 2011 bursts that's actually prated from the last three months of 2010 the first nine months of excuse me the last four months of 2010 first uh eight months of 2011 to better correlate to kindergarten five years later you'll see that there was 421 births in 2011 and 5 years later you had 394 BD kindergarteners from that zip code that's a 94% corative ratio that's a really strong ratio especially when you consider some kids go after private schools that's an amazingly High ratio actually in 2012 uh you had 462 61 bursts in 2013 you had 479 so all the bursts up there are in the 400s all the way from 2011 to 2017 so the burst didn't change that much what did change was the correlative ratio five years later it went from
02694 to 89 to 88 to 81 to 76 down to 63 last year and just 60% this year that means 40% of the kids that were born that zip code five years ago did not show up in kindergarten this year and there's no way that's privates that's people that moved out of the district and hopefully we'll get some back but I think we're a lot back so as you look down below in the column in Orange you'll see that all the birth numbers are in the 300s we went from a bunch of birth numbers in the up upper to in Middle 400s to 336 347 and 332 in the three most recent birth years for 95132 that's down over 20% it's actually much more significantly than 20% and that that's hard numbers that's not a
027forecast that's what actually was born in that zip code according to the county health department so when you go from 479 461 down to 332 and 336 it's a pretty scary drop off and that's really what drives all the Garden forecast here if the current ratio of 60% was repeated with those birth numbers and I don't think it will I think it be above 60% you would have totals in in that zip code in the next five years in the low 200s compared to over 400 in the past you follow me on that everybody see where I am okay that's that's how dangerous those numbers are I don't think they'll go that low but they could next slide please okay new housing um the only developments that are suitable to analyze going forward in the
028forecast within your District are the mainly market rate developments you really didn't have any below market rate developments built in recent years in the district and out of almost 2,000 housing units that were built in this District in the last decade almost all of which are attached only something like 30 are detached your averaging only seven students in every hundred units that sounds incredibly low and it is incredibly low but I'm finding that all over Silicon Valley what's happening is they're no longer building three and four bedroom apartments intended for families they're building Studios and one-bedrooms and Tiny two-bedroom units intended for singles and childless couples and it's in in other districts actually lower in the Santa Clair District it's one in every 50 units in the orchard district is one in every 50 units
029so you're actually getting seven in every 100 units you're getting a little bit better ratio but still very low the only slight positive here is with 57 in TK and 51 and 35 and only 35 and 68 it implies they are young families so it may that rate may come up over the first few years of occupation everybody following me on that but still it's probably not get over 0.1 or one student in every 10 units and that's just what's happening because what they're building nowadays you're getting a better result out of in this County out of below market rate housing but still not what many people would think um in two developments i s i mean in four developments I sampled in the Sunnyville Oak glob districts those 460 regular blow market rate units
030we're averaging essentially um uh two kids in every uh 10 units or one student every five units uh with a distribution again 44 and TK and just 27 68 implies that the unit the student numbers will come up over time but probably will never get a above up. three that's important because we have one major B market rate development that will hit in the next few years it's a brand new one which we discuss in a minute I've only listed SRO on there as an FYI occasionally the B market rate developments are these tiny little 325 squ foot um kitchenet type units and they don't have kids but none of those are projected here next slide please okay what I'm projecting is overwhelmingly in the Northwood and moral attendance area at first and then in
031the later years becomes Vincy Park and pedmont but really the for the short term the whole stories Northwood and moral uh other than um uh Vincy Park and moral for a below market rate development um that is on the north side of beresa um Road uh by the flea market and that was a mainly market rate development in the past it just shifted three months ago two months ago to being 195 um Regular B market rate units plus 100 market rate units um so that is going to generate more kids than we're expecting to pass for Vincy Park uh when we get past up to 2027 I actually think you have some growth in viny park as a result of that um you'll see the some other developments in Vincy Park as well so if
032I didn't show you the numbers by attendance area going out five years but five years out both Northwood and viny park could have more kids than now which means the declining numbers I showed you at the start are that much more concentrated in the rest of the district does that make sense to everybody next slide please just one second Tom on that slide with that um because I know there was a recent article regarding the plan sh shifting as well to uh the units from 3,000 being reduced down to a th000 I was I was it's 940 I was projecting 400 of that would be occur in 2027 and 2028 um which you're seeing there under Vincy Park pedmont and I think that number actually will still hold for the new okay plan if anything
033you might get a few more units not a lot more but a few more units because it's going be easier for them to build tow houses in this market than high-rise um buildings um because um when you build a high-rise building you're taking a loan out for multiple years and and the current interest rates that's just not economically feasible anymore so I think about 400 is still the right call obviously as we get Beyond 2028 there aren't there's only another 500 units left as opposed to 3,000 units left so in the long run we have far less units there but for the fiveyear forecast I don't think it makes a difference okay next slide please questions did I go too fast okay so so with the excuse me so with the uh current uh growth
034projected at Vincy Park and the addition of the new new units uh are we potentially looking at redistrict in that school also in the future or can you go back the slide that shows the schools it's table two one more okay Vincy Park actually has fewer students now than a couple years ago so you got some room to backfill from that growth I don't remember how what the number was a couple years ago but it it was a little bit higher than than 568 um so you have some room for growth and you'll see that in the short I'm actually projecting further decline because they have a big fifth grade graduating out um and small kindergart numers but there could be a point still probably not within three years but within in four to five
035years we need be looking at that but it's not an immediate issue and this um the the increase I mean the birth you your prediction is based on birth rates and things like that birth rates Trends through the grades and where the new housing is located and but but we don't consider um influx of immigrants or anything like that in this thing because that's not a that's a variable uh that we cannot control I only would consider that if I had a reason to believe the trend of the recent past would change uh or in this case the trend from 2016 to 2019 with some modification so unless there's a reason to say that that pattern is going to stop or greatly accelerate the bill and grade to grade rates already include that nuisance with
036some you know small deviation up or down over time um you know I had a case long ago in the El Grove School District near Sacramento where um a big lean group decided to relocate from Fresno Del Grove and apartments went from having like 10 kids to 200 kids overnight so there are times when you have that hit but and again in the almost 40 years I've been doing this there's only a half dozen times I've seen anything like that happen so the big issue is just the birth data it's just scary and it's not just scary here it's scary everywhere I think it's just the price of housing is making it impossible for families to live here in the numbers that they were living here 10 years ago right young families in particular and
037the students that are uh the children that are um in that in that chart that you showed the birth rates and the enrollment um so the students are moving out of state is is the is the idea do we know where we obviously cannot track them but uh is there do we have like the data from other states uh well yeah but it's hard to know if it's ours I will say that some Parkers like Sacramento still have growing numbers and I think that's relocating families that's where they're probably yeah yeah and I I can share just looking at our own barasa data because we do look at all of our exits and uh try to see you know what what's C what's that Mobility where are they headed and so for this current school
038year as we looked at who left us from last school year and didn't continue what we found was uh an aate movement um the most popular relocation state was Texas this year that was the the highest number was going to Texas last year it was Arizona Utah so it varies you know um this year it was Texas if they were leaving outside the Bay Area it was Tracy that's where we saw a lot of our families go and then uh within the Bay Area uh we saw a movement just next door to mil pus interesting because mil Pedas isn't cheap either so yeah thank you so much for the presentation I actually do um housing policy in my day job so this is actually very Illuminating to see how uh housing developments will affect our
039um enrollment I have a couple of questions for um the last slide I noticed that Brook tree had a significant um resident shift negative 51 but then isn't brooktree in that area usually single family homes is that I I'm just wondering like why that shift would be well again part of it is the difference between the graduating fifth grade amount and the incoming kindergarten amount um and there's a a significant share of middle inome detached homes on a tenance area and um although that is a stabilizing kindergarten population relative to the more affordable housing of the district it still has a much larger amount gradually on a fifth grade and that got uh one more side please back um go back to table two the first table two um but it does have some apartments
040as well in fact some of the stuff we shifted out of Northwood into Brook tree was apartments at the North edge of the attendance area so there's there's a mix of housing that attendance area but uh the biggest cause that minus 51 is a big fifth grade one out I see around the so whenever a student leaves or a family leaves that affordable housing unit you're noticing that people are not moving back into that unit like they're no it's gonna stay bacon or what is your well as I showed in that one slide it's down something like 22% in the last three years I mean that's basically more than one in every five kids in net was gone in K2 in three years now obviously when you're talking about affordable Apartments um and the recession
041caused by the pandemic that's an income level that's got the least amount of money saved to be able to to deal with the hit of losing a job and so um a lot of them were just simply had to leave because of economics in the pandemic if you're if you own your home you're more likely to be able to hopefully squeeze it out for a few years but if you're in a very affordable apartment and you're on a marginal income level you know losing a job for six months you have to leave so it's common in that category and all districts in the during the pandemic ultimately in your um analysis of all of our schools which schools would you say is top concern for you for their declining enrollment in your opinion well if
042you just look at the rightmost column and again this is probably based on the graduating fifth grade numbers you have 65 going out of Majestic Way that's it's falling from 436 to 371 that's just a you know that's a Monumental drop in two years uh Ruskin is percentage wise is losing more losing so these are these are dramatic drop offs again because they have big populations now in fourth and fifth grade and based on the birth date I'm expecting much lower incoming kindergarten amounts or or even if they stabilized the current level that's still a much smaller amount than is graduating from fourth and fifth grade in those attendance Series so it's it's basically just based on where your kids distri distribution is in terms of um percentage um I guess it's going to be
043Ruskin that's the biggest hit but uh all all those numbers in Orange in the right column are pretty significant drop offs in two years thank you okay thank you for the presentation Mr Williams thank you thank you all right let's move on to uh report 10B Dr quenes can you introduce this thank you at this time I would like to invite Mr Tom Carroll our coordinator of students Services who will give a presentation regarding positive behavioral intervention support PBX PBIS and our District's efforts around addressing chronic absenteeism and our differentiated assistance path thank you Mr Carol all right good evening um so tonight I just want to update you with some of the things that we're doing thank you on the student services side of ed services um so oh what do I do I
044just hit the button oh no down arrow down arrow got it thank you um so first since the the pandemic we've seen an increase in the need for mental health services for our students we've seen increased treny chronic absenteeism more Behavior Uh concerns arising less self-regulation as well as higher needs uh for our students and families to be connected with Community Resources the graph on the right there is the mtss chart that was pretty standard prior to the pandemic where with high quality instruction with clear positive behavior expectations and support Mental Health Services Approximately 80% of the students in our in our classrooms are going to be in that green category where they're successful they're able to achieve um and they're receiving the the the tier one support that they need um prior to the
045pandemic approximately 10 to 15% of our students did not necessarily respond to those initial tier one uh supports and so they needed a little more intervention and so that's going to be the students who are in the yellow and with those additional supports approximately 5 to 10% of our students still needed additional resources on top of that since the pandemic we've almost seen this pyramid flip um and so it is pretty concerning what we're seeing and part of what we're doing with head Services is trying to address these concerns as a district we're very invested in positive behavior interventions and supports as well as multi-tiered systems systems of support we currently have 10 schools that are engaged in PBIS training five of those schools were went through tier one um PBS training at the County
046Office of Education before the pandemic hit however because of the pandemic and closing schools they did not necessarily get off the ground in running with implementation of their PBIS programs uh so therefore this year they're working with um Dr mola and Collective impact solutions to refresh their PBIS systems and structures and to get those implemented uh throughout the course of this year those five schools are Majestic Noble Rusk and Toyon and pedmont we also have four schools that are um involved with their initial tier one PBS training they're going through that with the County Office of Education right now Cherrywood Lane View North Northwood and Mill we have one school Summerdale who was part of that initial Cort who got trained up prior to the pandemic however they really have flourished with their PBIS implementation
047and they're actually on tier two so they're working with the county office right now uh on a grant to continue with their implementation and then the three schools that we don't have currently involved with PBIS training will most likely be going through that training next year and that is Brook tree sieron and Vincy Park some of the things that we've implemented this year that we found to so far be successful is the adoption of a district Behavior Matrix this was collaborated on with um several stakeholders within our district it was piloted last year at a handful of our schools I believe Ruskin and pedmont middle school and we're going for initial implementation this year although we're implen it it is still a work in progress and we are still going to be getting feedback on
048how we can continue to develop this Matrix to make sure that it is relevant and meaningful for our um administrators but ultimately the intention is to provide clear and consistent guidelines for addressing student discipline um taking a restorative approach to discipline and making clear the different tiered Behavior interventions that we have available to address Behavior as it arises something else we we've implemented is suet 360 at our middle schools it's an online module program that basically allows our administrators to assign or and our counselors social workers to assign online modules that are directly related to certain issues that may come up so for example if a student is chronically tardy to school or if they're absent often they can be assigned a module on the importance of of attending school regularly um if a student
049is doing you know various Behavior concerns then there are different modules that can be assigned we've seen that I believe there's been over a hundred of these modules that have been assigned to our students this year and it's a great um alternative to suspension so just a quick snapshot of where we are might not surprise you but the majority of our suspensions in the district typically happen at the middle school level and so the data that I have here is specifically from our middle schools but as of October 28th last year we had 32 suspensions across our three middle schools as of this year on the same date we've had 18 so it's approximately 44% decrease and I believe that is attributed to several of the um several of the interventions that we've put in
050place chronic gaps in TM continues to be a concern and something that we're trying to address um chronic absenteeism is defined by having missed 10% or more of the school year regardless of whether or not it's an excused or unexcused absence some of the causes for chronic absenteeism that we've discovered is that you know there's still the coid and coid symptoms and then just a true lack of understanding about chronic absenteeism many of our parents understand that if the student is sick they should call in when we look at the number of students who were chronically absent last year specifically at our elementary schools the majority of the absences were excused so the parents are calling in they're letting us know that their kids aren't at school but the students still might miss more than
051you know 18 or more days in the school year and so that's where right now we're really trying to push hard to educate our families on the difference between chronic absenteeism and treny we have a lot of students who are Trent missing three you know three or more days unexcused but they're not chronically absent on the flip side we have a lot of students who are not Trent but they are chronically absent and as of right now from the state's standpoint we're being looked at for our absenteeism not necessarily our treny so we're continuing to try to educate our our families on when they should be sending their kids to school and keeping that line of communication open this is a snapshot of the data comparing the 2122 school year and last school year with
052chronic absenteeism um what you'll see on the far right is the difference between the two years and I have to give a huge shout out to brooktree Vincy Park and Toyon who saw significant decreases in their chronic absenteeism rates um as a as a whole beresa decreased by 3.5% which when compared to the county uh which increased I think that's a huge success and which I did not include on here but the California rate of chronic absenteeism for 2223 was 25% so when compared to the county and to the state we are doing much better because of this data um I'll get into it here in a few minutes it did cause us to get into differentiated assistance and I believe that's on the next slide but some of the things that we're doing to
053address caric absenteeism is leveraging our school social workers um we did just receive the school Link services Grant which is offered by the behavioral health um department and that will allow us to hire an additional social worker to specific spefically support our tier three students around um absenteeism and mental health needs and our social workers are continuing also to utilize car Solace to link our families with outside resources as they need it we've also recently um are in the process of hiring community lisons and while the community layons are tied to our Cay plan and really are designed to support our success Scholars many of our success Scholars are also students who chronically absent and so they will continue to build that positive home homeschool interaction um and what's nice too is that they're invested
054members of the community they their majority of them are staff members who are already working in our schools whether as clerks uh mediate techs per Educators um and so they they are invested and already know how our systems work home visits are huge we've been really trying to make an effort with getting to to fam's homes when we feel that's appropriate and actually on November 29th we're going to be having a um a training here at the district office hosted by the county office specifically on it's an introduction on how to do effective home visits we'll be having all of our principls assistant principles counselors social workers and psychologists join us for that home visit training and then also just like everything else we're trying to do is take that restorative approach take a restorative
055approach to addressing uh attendance you know while there is need to take it to sarts and sarbs and if needed take it to the district attorney um we really do want to make the conversations positive and reinforce that we want your students at school we um are trying to create that welcoming and affirming environment so as I stated earlier we are in differentiated assistance we just had our last differentiated assistance meeting we were identified by the state for for this because um our students with disabilities the rate of absenteeism for our students with disabilities approximately 30% of our students with disabilities were chronically absent I believe that actually should be the 2122 school year I apologize um so we've been working with the county office to engage in cycles of inquiry to see what we
056could do to possibly make a shift with the students um one of the things that we did we we identified four students with disability who were chronically absent last year and who we started this about 11 weeks ago who at that time had already been chronically absent this year and seeing what we could do to maybe intervene and and make a change we talked about having the case managers for those students make positive phone calls home try to engage the parents understand the root cause of the students absence um and just really again build that homeschool connection so what we did notice is that over the course of 11 weeks three of the four students with those attempts did not miss another day of school and one of those students had only missed one day
057of school in the 11 weeks so with that we're going to be ex you know even though we will hopefully be out of differentiate assistance when the data comes out in January um we are going to be working with our principles our case managers to try to expand this pool to see what we could do on a greater scale do you have any questions um I have a question so the previous presentation we just heard um it was uh suspected that a lot of students have been moving out of the area so does this data take to account um students that have been moving out of the area but they haven't been uh removed from our system yet and so essentially the students that uh are still considered our students but they haven't been moved
058out but they just don't live in our district that's why they're not attending schools so so I would say no uh well I mean in terms of the data from last year I I don't know how many of those students have moved out but in terms of the data that we're pulling for this year and looking at which students you know are accounting for these numbers they're all of our all of them are our students currently and I'll add to that and so one of the things that we've done is we have um going into this school year spoken with our principles and are working with our our office staff team to make sure that we are being very quick to contact families when we notice a consistent drop off or they haven't returned back
059from uh wherever they are we do have families that travel you know to another country for a time period we let them know we're not holding seats because it goes into this chronic absenteeism cycle and that uh they will be dropped but when they return we will reenroll because they were still on the books in the past and that accounted for some of that data but uh we're trying to be more proactive about that this year so um we're just cleaning that up as quickly as we can and and actually now that I think about we do actually have one student that I can think of um at one of our middle schools who has missed I think she only attended the first day of school we've been trying to make efforts to get her
060we found out that she's actually living in another District at this point we are trying to work with the family and Franklin McKinley to get her enrolled over there however we don't want to just drop her from our system because if we drop her and it's she's not picked up at another school then it counts as a Dropout for our district so we also want to be careful to avoid that right because every school district is accountable to ensure continuity of education for that student even when they leave so that's why when we um when a parent exits our district we we ask where are they moving to where are they're enrolling uh so there's an exchange of educational information and we know that that learning plan continues for them okay thank you yeah that's
061just one of my my concerns because I know there are a lot of families that move out of the district and then they keep their students at home because they just are either too busy or they're not familiar with the process of re-enrolling re-enrolling their students into their new home District so as long as we have some sort of a resource available uh to assist those families I think uh there was some social workers that would do Outreach to them y there's social workers the community layons um if it is a student with special you know with disabilities case managers School psychologists side administrators yeah okay thank you yeah are there any other questions yes uh just some clarifying questions on the behavior metrics and the student discipline part of the so um can you
062uh expand maybe clarify a little bit more on the uh where it says clear and consistent guide clear and consistent guidelines for addressing student discipline um how uh how is it being handled because some of the uh feedback um that we've received as as if a student is uh is being um disruptive or uh disrespectful in the in the classroom causing disruption for learning for everybody um the teacher uh you know the teacher the uh teacher in the classroom refers the student but some of the student comes back um and there is no transparency between as to what's happening in that uh inm uh the teacher doesn't seem to know uh what transpired on the other side so I I'm just trying to understand whether that process has Buy in from all the uh teaching
063staff and what is being done uh by the administrator or whoever is handling the case uh to rectify the student Behavior because the feedback we're getting is uh student comes back with the same kind of behavior right it's it's not nothing has changed yeah and the causing uh it could potentially cause learning loss for not just that student but for everybody everybody else in the classroom uh cause stress for the teachers and and things it has a cascading effect as we know so I'm just trying to understand if if you have any additional data to expand on that how that process is and how how we are U ensuring that our teachers are buying into that process and also being trained on um you know what the expectation should be and and things like that
064well so the idea of the behavior Matrix is that it does outline all of the different education code violations it provides a variety of responses that could be taken um you know much of the discipline is at the discretion of the administrators ideally we want tier one interventions to be happening in the classroom um you know we understand that there's times where student needs to be removed but really every student needs to be in the classroom they need to be getting their education and so with the um I think it's important to also realize that behavior is is a direct result of a student need and so sometimes the traditional approach dis discipline is not necessarily what that student needs at that time um you know we see that suspending the students removing them from
065the class is not necessarily effective and does not work for students it's not going to change behavior and so that's where our administrators are still continuing to work with our teachers on how we can address behaviors within the classroom um you know and in terms of buyin again you know this is something that's constantly developing I said it's a work in progress so we are moving to seek feedback on how we can continue to develop this and and make it as effective as possible and I'll add to that as well because I think in addition to buyin the other thing you're alluding to is communication right that feedback loop of what's occurring so that way the classroom teacher uh knows that what whatever the strategy was implemented happened during that in between time and that's
066what we're we're working on as Mr Carol shared it's a work in progress we currently have our mtss district executive leadership team and those are the issues that we're discussing we have some of our members here in the off in the audience uh that are part of those conversations um and we acknowledge that there's still a lot of communic ation that needs to happen districtwide to share uh this work and the path that we're on in terms of trying to address uh not just academic needs of students but these behavioral needs as well and uh just this past week we had uh on Monday we had our executive leadership team meeting and the focus was communication and how do we put all of these um plans that we've been working on uh together so that
067it can be EXP exess to everyone not just our teachers but we have support staff in the classrooms as well with our teachers so everyone knows like what's our mission and what are we what's driving us and what are the resources that everyone has or will have at their fingertips to try to support these situations um it is a shift uh there's a lot of communication we need to do and uh we're we're building that and actually our next meeting in December we're we're bringing that communication package back so then we can share it districtwide so that was what we just discussed this week and that's part of that building in that ownership for everyone and explaining the rationale behind it too because there's been uh as we mentioned in our previous board meeting lots
068of recent legislation that is changing how discipline is being addressed with students that we also need to be sure we're we're meeting those regulations and uh and all the research that's out there that shows you know what is uh where do students make the most gain and and that's what's being looked at also you know through these initiatives right so so my all my concern is uh is about the entirety of the of the classroom or the entirety of the school so if if a student uh behavior is not changing after repeated attempts uh what what is a mitigation plan because at at that at that point uh there's learning loss for pretty much everybody right and then that causes stress on the on the educator on the support staff who is handling the situation
069and that kind of uh demoralizes uh you know kind of takes away that kind of excitement of coming coming to work to teach saying that I'm not being effective the the student doesn't seem to uh make any any Improvement so it's causing U me problems with my other students that are wanting to learn but I'm not able to provide that and so and this process is a progressive process and so with mtss there's multiple tiers there's tier one tier two and tier three depending on where the student needs go so as you said if Behavior continues uh that's part of what this Matrix is about in in addition to more so for those that might need more right depending on what's going on if it's counseling intervention if it's um at home services you know
070if it's a change of placement in the classroom environment what's important is that from the initial event whatever that looks like is that documentation and those conversations with the family so that way we're ensuring that the student is moving from the different levels of support from one two to three um but we always make sure we try to uh keep them in the most most um least restrictive environment with as much support as possible but there that's not always going to be what they need right but we have to have lots of data that shows what is that right path for that student and um and you know so that documentation is key in each of these incidents as we're working with each student and their family thank you I just quickly want to say
071thank you so much PBIS is so important and as you know I always ask our principles how are they implementing PBIS like what are you working on and I really loved what you said that you know when a student is acting out we want to figure out what the root cause is and I really believe that to be true they just need additional interventions so just thank you so much for your work and your presentation you're welcome thank you okay thank you for the presentation Mr Carl um let's move on to uh 10 C now Dr bues thank you at this time I'd like to invite Tony kisto our director of bond facilities to provide his monthly Bond update on measure L and measure U hello everyone again we'll give you an update on measure

082not on the board as a community member I always wanted to have have um safety around the perimeter of the schools not just the school itself as part of the school site plan uh but for obvious reasons it cannot be implemented because it's resource intensive so we're glad to have partners with the partnership with San Jose City uh do uh we had Walkin roll we have walk we are a walk androll School District so we depend on these Partnerships to implement some of those ideas uh to make our school sites safer and slowdown campaign is is a is a very important one so uh we should have that um information cascaded to all our U uh sites so they they all know what to expect and definitely they can contact uh you or uh our
083contacted the city to uh understand what needs to be done and uh and just as a to let everybody know please slow down I work as a volunteer um crossing guard at Cherrywood please don't run me over I know you [Laughter] know you may not like what I say but you know I'm just trying to get get kids crossing the road that's all I'm trying to do so uh slow down uh you know look for kids like I tell my parents at Cherrywood our job doesn't end as soon as our kid gets out of the of our cars it doesn't give us the freedom to just take off or you know just pick up the phone want to start texting away uh safety is all of our responsibility and you know drive as if your
084child is in the crosswalk is what I what I say if if your child is crossing the crosswalk would you be speeding down the street uh you wouldn't so that's what I tell my U all the parents at sherrywood and i' appreciate that message going to all the sites yeah absolutely and just as a reminder to our families and anyone that's watching us because uh we did put uh the link in our last newsletter and we've been putting it out in social media and we'll continue to do that and as a friendly incentive of what we're asking all of our parents and staff to do is sign that pledge that you will slow down when you're around a school and the city in Partnership will be doing monthly Raffles So based on your pledge signup
085so they've got great prizes so if you want to have a chance be sure to sign that pledge and commit to slowing down are there any other comments or announcements from other board members all right if there's none uh we'll move on to our first review and action item A1 Dr for can you introduce this item yes it is recommended the Board review and approve board policy non-discrimination in District programs and activities for a first reading this is an update to our policy based on a new law AB 1078 2023 This was um put in place by uh recently by Governor Nome to ensure uh that the district's policy prohibits any discrimination harassment intimidation and bullying when it comes to applying um or enacting any policies and procedures in adoption of instructional material requirements so
086uh we are again are bringing this forth as a first reading based on current uh legislation requirements all right thank you for that is there any discussion or motion as item I so move second go ah okay it's been moved and seconded all in favor of this motion say I I I okay that's 5 to zero motion passes uh we'll move on to B1 Dr FR can you introduce this it is recommended the board approve the compreh ensive school safety plans for all of our elementary and B1 oh I'm sorry yes oh here we go sorry B1 measure a uh we it is recommended the board appoint Community member yanet seura Hera to the measure a committee I know she was here uh earlier did she have to leave okay so um should is it
087best that we bring this item back or can we move forward do we have a statement from her in terms of her application do we have a copy or is it attached okay well I will I will say if the board is open to moving forward with this item it is recommended that we appoint Miss seura to this committee can share uh on on her behalf her level of involvement and commitment to our district she's a a very active parent of ours she has children uh at brooktree as well as at marel middle school she's an active uh PTA parent has held uh president positions is currently on the North Valley Council PTA executive board um she's involved in our budget stabilization committee uh she has participated in our district advisory Council in the past
088so certainly keeps uh herself well informed of District issues and uh you know and seeks clarification when needed so I would strongly encourage you know her uh ability to be able to be part of this committee uh as she desires yanet is a well-known U uh community member I've worked with her uh also she's she's a very passionate parent so I emphatically moved to approve her um appointment I'll second that okay it's been moved in second any other questions if not um let's go ahead and take a vote all in favor of this say I I I okay motion carries um five is zero we'll now move on to uh B2 Dr quences thank you it is recommended the board approve the comprehensive School safety plans for our elementary and middle schools as well as
089our district office I know we have uh provided those comprehensive safety plans to you to review we have uh Dan here who takes the lead in ensuring that those plans meet all of the compliance components one of the things that I will share with the board is we will be bringing these plans back again most likely in the month of January because 's another new law that recently passed this past month uh and uh but we need to meet the October requirements or the umch March requirements we're going to do this initial review which is based on our past regulations but the new law which goes into effect in January 2024 we need to add additional language on how we would address potential um uh overdose or drug use situations of students we need to
090have a plan of action I would like to share with the board we're ahead of the game um just last month we had all of our district leadership team all of management were trained in being able to disseminate uh Narcan in the ad event we also have that uh medication on site in all of our AE AED lock boxes so um that will definitely be part of a component to um that implementation process Dan all right good evening everybody I just want to give you guys a a quick uh overview of the safety plan purpose and requirements so the California Education Code outlines the requirements of all K through 12 schools with regards to writing and developing a school safety plan relevant to the needs and resources of the particular school is the intent of
091the district to develop a an a mandated comprehensive safety plan detailing the systematic planning process including strategies aimed at the pre prevention of the education about potential incidents involving crime and violence on school campuses so the comprehensive school safety plans must include the following elements assessment of school crime committed on school campuses and at school related functions child abuse reporting procedures disaster procedures suspension and expulsion policies procedures to notify teachers of dangerous pupils discrimination and harassment policies schoolwide dress code policies procedures for safe Ingress and egress policies enacting to M enacted to maintain a safe and orderly environment rules and reg procedures on school discipline and the last hate crime reporting procedures so a brief timeline of how our school safety plans were developed this year um included me updating the initial plan and and
092sending those out to principles on September 11th um basically I sent them out uh all of our our our safety plans are on a Google doc so it's a living document we could make updates and adj adjustments as as we need um from there principles were able to share the 2324 School sa School site safety plan with their site Council uh in order to update the sections they're responsible for um the this includes um safety concerns that have that have brought up um for example damaged fencing or issues with traffic patterns before and after school drop off this slowdown event all that good stuff um physical and social climate goals are are developed and and documented by each school and then shared with their respective commun communities most common physical goals concentrate on emergency preparedness
093um earthquake drills fire drills Etc most common uh social climate goals uh detailed around emotional uh social emotion leads of students um updated documents then came back to me for for approval from the buusd Safety Committee as well as signatures from the San Jose fire department and the San Jose police department so I meet with them they come to theot conference room I lay them all out we read through them um and uh I've developed those relationships with the fire department and the police department to so they understand these um what they're signing um and then the last step is to present at the board and get Dr FR fren's signature and the board president signature so with that said on behalf of the B buusd Safety Committee I present you the safety plans for
09422 20 23 24 any questions anything from the board no thank you for um putting this together I know it's a lot of work every year um it takes a lot of stakeholders input so thank you again thank you uh now is there a motion to approve uh or motion for this item I move for approval okay second it's been moved and seconded all in favor of this item say I I I any motion carries 5 to zero we'll now move on to item B3 Dr fris can you introduce this it is recommended the board approve the use of the Apple Inc P PPM contract number 5358 0 1 -001 piggyback agreement for the purchase of Apple Inc computers tablets accessories and services for initial term of three years any questions or motions on this
