001don't have maybe that as direct communication or relationships with the students as the classroom teachers do. So our attendance team is made up of um classroom teachers also some community members and that has been just amazingly powerful. We meet um we meet once a month and we've been doing some good work. Also, we have started to uh roll out the independent study contract option for students. Um, so the 15% number that I already know um once ARIES Analytics updates is going to be a lower number. So that is something that will help us get under that 10% which makes me happy. Um and then just simple communication, parent involvement, communication. um what you know continually talking about being on being on time, being at school. And then lastly, and this is something that I um
002I learned. I did not think it would be a um something that really contributed to it. I guess I was a little old school in that you kids will just get to school and they'll be there ready to go and um but providing incentives really works. So, um, we've been doing, uh, monthly attendance competitions and, um, you know, class competition things. And in a small school in particular, it really, um, it creates a a fun atmosphere. Um, and I've learned that kids at my school are obsessed with Pokemon cards. I'm trying to teach them about baseball cards as well. But um but we are um we're having fun while we are improving this um chronic absenteeism rate. So if you have any more questions at all, please feel free to let me know. But thank
003you for your time. Have a good evening. Who's up next? Miss Forney Bonsel L. It is me. Okay. Good evening, board of trustees, President Anderson, Dr. Gina, student board members. Um, took this picture a couple weeks ago after the rain. Just was walking through campus and lucky to catch it. So, um, let's see. I had this plan for my presentation tonight, but I pivoted because um yesterday our fifth graders uh took a field trip to Bistown. And if you aren't familiar with BisTown, um it's down in San Diego. Um and it's been around, I believe I was looking on the wall, um Joan Croc was one of the founders in 1986. Um, and this I've I've worked at schools before where the the students have gone, I've never been myself. And when I walked in,
004I was just blown away at what these students were doing, what they had done leading up to um going down there, what they learned, they all had jobs, and they spent about a month, their teachers worked very, very hard with this curriculum um teaching them about their jobs and um what they were going to do. And these are actual San Diego companies. So you have um NBC7, um Channel 933 Radio, the Union Tribune, UPS Store, um Cox Communication, Ed Code, uh or Edco, Ed Code. I say that a lot. Um um a couple different banks. So, um, Christian, if you could play the I got fancy and I uploaded some things to YouTube and then, um, some videos to YouTube and then put them in here. So, if you could I think there's a link
005um under the pink with pink bistown is I hope it works. [Music] Uh, what's your favorite part about your job? I think my favorite part about my job is building connections with students and I love when the light bulb goes on and they get it and they feel confident about themselves. What's your favorite math strategy? Showing your work. Show your work. Do I have a few shirts that tell you to show your work or to say nice meeting? Um, thank you. Uh, what's your favorite? It's just I I'm new at this, so it's just going to keep playing. Thank you. So, um, that was Molina, one of our fifth grade students, and she had scripts that she would interview students when they would come in, but she asked on the fly if she could interview
006the teachers and interview me. And so, she didn't have any questions or scripts. She just asked us questions on the fly. It was really fun. Um, here are some other uh some other pictures. Um, it was two stories. There was a mayor. Um, there were CEOs. Um, I think that Christian, I think there's one more clip. I just did a quick video. Just kidding. Um, if you can go back to the other one. Oh, me. Just kidding. I can do it, too. Um, so I took a video of the whole thing. It's just it's a little city and it was just amazing. So today, um, some of the teachers did a Google form for their kids, asking them questions about, um, what their favorite thing was, um, what was one important thing they learned, um,
007what do they think best prepared them for getting to Biztown. And so I have to read some of them because they're precious. So favorite things about Bistown, I really liked how we got to work real jobs and got to experience working so young. I like how Bistown made us learn how hard it is for parents. I like how Bistown, how I made our business 75% of its money. My favorite thing was being able to experience what having a job is like, working together with my co-workers and solving problems, getting to work and be like an adult, being in charge, and paying back our loan. The fact that I could pretend to be an adult, working in the teamwork. I like how they really look like real businesses. So, the what was one thing you learned
008from your day at BisTown? how to manage a shop or a service. That customer service is a challenge in all capital letters for some people. Never give up. Our parents work hard to give us what we want. Adult life is very capital letters hard. Adults have to work really hard to earn money. It is annoying to pay off debts. They get better. Other people's breaks seemed really long, but mine seemed really short. So, so they went in four group cycles and like every 20 minutes a new group would have their break, like their 15minute break, and the other group had to go back to work. And so this kid said, he said it yesterday when we were there, he's like, "Everybody's breakd um to be wise on what you spend your money on." So, they
009actually earned money. They were running payroll. You can see the kid in the top left hand there. He's actually inputting payroll. They would get paychecks and they would go to the bank and cash them and then they would get to go to like the UPS store and buy things or Jack in the Box was selling popcorn. Um, I learned that working hard really pays off. I'm good at being the boss and you always you don't always get the job you want. The outside world was really hard. So, here are some of my personal favorites. I'm better off as a Minecraft YouTuber. That you should never be an adult. and I just might be a stay-at-home mom. Truly, that was an answer. But of the 51 students that um were given this form today, 25 of
010them said something along the lines of being an adult is really hard and that this was like an eyeopener. Um one of the Bistown employees asked them at the end of the day how many hours they thought they worked and they had to raise their hands and most kids said six, seven, because we were there about six hours or so. She said, 'Well, with all of your breaks in your lunch, you worked an hour and a half. And they were like, "Oh my gosh." I mean, we were there all day, but they're actual working in their job. Um, and then they asked how how many hours they think their parents work. And most kids were pretty realistic. I heard some kids say 24, and I'm like, "Yes, pretty much." Um, so it was just a
011great opportunity, and and we're thankful for um to the district for allowing our students to do this. Um, and we hope we get to do it again next year and that the other fifth grade classes at the other schools can join us. Um, our ReadAcross America week, uh, April or March 3rd through 7th, we had some guest readers. You can see President Anderson down there on the left hand side dressed in her thing one costume reading to a first grade class. We had um, guest readers from the fire department, from our local jiu-jitsu. Um, we had buddy readers, we had a hat parade, and during that week, uh, the bees students read a total of 9,297 books. Couple other events, we had our daddyaughter event. Um, I know that Heather mentioned, Dr. mentioned our PTA.
012They've been really, really busy the past couple of months. Um, so the daddyaughter dance is always a treat for our families. I think we had um over 500 maybe even more um students there with their well 500 kids and dads there um and families in general. There were some moms that came with their students as well. Um then down there we just last Friday had our mother son movie night which sold out three theaters in the Bonszal um theater and I I think I handed out 350 bags of popcorn and was picking it off the bottom of my shoes for quite some time. Um, we also honored Katie Spencer, our first grade teacher, our teacher of the year. Um, we had our annual, uh, book swap where families um, donate old books or gently used
013books. Um, I think Ryan, our um, library tech, said that we had somewhere around 2500 books or so donated. So, each student got to leave with two to three books. Um this morning or this afternoon, our PTA also hosted our annual BMX bike um assembly where they talk about making good choices um being true to yourself, staying drug-free. I did try Christian and Lincoln. If you've clicked the picture of the biker, let's see if I did this one right. The bike, the guy on the bike, the BMX bike. So there were seven of us. I'm in the middle and we were Yeah, it was a little nerve-wracking because they teased us four or five times by going around and not over us, but um so kids always enjoy that one. Um a little bit of
014data for you. When I was here last time, we talked about how all of our grade levels spent some time um digging into their math data. um looking at what they wanted to focus on um putting some interventions some tier one interventions in their classroom um and tier 2 pulling small groups um in place. So you can see here our TK teachers use their ESGI data um since they do not take um the uh I ready test. So you can see in January their focus was number recognition 0 to 10. Um their uh students in January you can see um everybody went up. So Mr. Sher's class went up by 10% uh Miss McMullen's class went up by 11%, Miss Frell's by 13 and Miss Pex by 9%. So that shows that um getting that
015RTI in the classroom and um focusing on an area um putting the work into it in the classroom supports our students in their growth. And then Christian, one last click on the pink Google sheet, please. Just kidding. This was from kindergarten. um and it was their data tracking, but all of their students, so they were um counting, wrote counting and addition facts with five, and all of their students showed tremendous growth, 10% or more growth in each classroom. Um and I'm going to touch quickly on our attendance. Um I've been tracking it obviously every day I check, but I looked over the past two months. Um just like Mr. Costa said we saw a huge in November, December, January sometimes over a hundred students absent every day. Um a lot of illnesses and so um
016it's it's obviously been a focus for all of us. But the past couple months we've had a good upward trend. Um each day hovering around 92% or better um of students in attendance and peaking this uh past mid-March at a day we had 96.17% of our students in attendance. Um, we have a lot coming up tomorrow. If you're not busy, between 9:30 and 10:30, Miss Chamberlain and I will be taped to a wall ball. So, um, that was what these students uh, chose for making their jogathon goal. So, we will be literally taped to a wall. PTA promises it's going to be okay. Um anyways, something really exciting though, May 9th, we are hosting our very first multicultural event at our school. So, um uh we're working with the CI team. Um Miss Haro, um
017Miss Mrs. Pedo and Mrs. Po has been fever, yes, she has been feverishly asking local um restaurants to donate things. She had uh Panda Express donate almost a thousand fortune cookies over the weekend. So, um, we're really excited. More information to come on that. Thank you, [Applause] Bonso West. Mr. Kamacho, get this set up here. All right. Uh, good evening, uh, board president Anderson, board of trustees, and student board, Dr. Golly and Miss Gina. So today, um, first of all, it's been a busy couple of months at Bonso West with concerts, multicultural night, parent universities, track and field events, a few Purple Star ceremonies, which were awesome. So, we're definitely ready for break. Are you with me? Okay. All right. So, tonight, I'd like to take you on a journey through my daily class visits
018and showcase how our learner profiles come to life throughout a typical day at Bonso West. We'll wrap up things with a little data sharing on the progress we've made so far this school year. So last month, this first slide, um that painting was done by one of our students. So if you're at Purple Star, you know how big it actually is. So she created that at home and showed up with it on Monday um a couple weeks ago. So I wanted to showcase that that this is our motto. We're sticking to that. So la um last month our staff took the time to analyze and define each learner pro profile tailoring the meaning for each grade span from TK through 2 and 3 through 6. We focused on defining what each learner prof profile looks
019like for every student in TK2 and third through six ensuring that it's relevant and meaningful at each grade level. So let's start off with this picture here. Um the writing process. So, our first graders are actively engaged in their writing, eagerly expressing themselves with thoughtfulness as they navigate and refine the writing process as early as first grade. And this is and Dr. Golly knows and those of you who've been on campus, these lower grades are it's like refreshing to go in and see them working so hard and collaborating and critically thinking and talking to each other and everything is just it's kind of your go-to when you're having a rough start. Next, we have collaborators. Our movement and dance, our talented movement and dance and music teachers put on their very first concert and you
020saw a little bit of that tonight. If you go to our s'mores, our weekly bulletin, our colt express. So, last this week's that went out this last Sunday, we'll highlight the third through sixth grade. And if you click on some of the links, you can see the videos from each of those performances. So, take a look at your your vision in action and see the talent that we have at Bonso West. Um so on March 31st it was a spectacular success. Students like I said grade uh 3rd through six performed brilliantly showcasing their hard work and incredible talent in the event that was enjoyed by all. And then this Sunday uh my daughter's grades span TK they performed this week which will be featured in this weekend's Colt Express. So when you're on spring break
021take a look. You'll see the talent. All right. Next we have um our empathetic collaborators. Now, the farm visits are like the highlight of every class's u visit when they go and they come back. And if you look at our Colt Express, you'll see a lot of the pictures of them harvesting the crops and you see that collaboration that takes place in outdoor learning. And so, thank you again for bringing that for our students. Problem solvers. Mrs. Van, Miss Vanmer and her fourth graders are having a blast as they're diving into their current unit on geometric figures. um it they'll go through all the meanings and such and then you'll see them working in partners working independently um learning about the geometric shapes. Now here we go engaged community members. We had an amazing turnout
022of our community members, board members, families, but Harper Rose Cole, our favorite guest speaker of the evening for us, Bonso Weston, had the honor of addressing the audience at the Purple Star Awards ceremony. She spoke so with such grace and eloquence. Those are some very hard words. I did a little proof read before. Um, but she was able to practice at the at the track and field event. Thank you for taking that over. Um, but I was so proud of her. Um, she was nervous, but she got through it and it was so cool to see. All right, moving on to some more resilient learners. In Miss Brady's class, after teaching a lesson on measurement, her fourth graders complete the exit slip, which assesses their understanding of the concept that they just covered. And those
023who don't uh actually get the content, they work through their problems and they collaborate together to find out where they went wrong and and they get it. They're just resilient. They get it and they work together. Now, this is our multicultural night. Engaged community members. This is my favorite event. Well, I I say that all the time. So, if you had an opportunity to come, our multicultural night, we celebrated the diverse cultures that make up our vibrant community. Multicultural night featured the music, the dance, the art from f from and food from around the world. So you come hungry, you go home stuffed and there's so much food to try and taste. We had over 22 countries represented with over 30 tables um with entertainment. Like I said, we had different cultures presenting in dance,
024art form, and such. So if you get a chance next year, come on through. Um we'd love to have you. Our third graders are mastering multiple meaning words and this is so that they can become effective communicators, ensuring they use them correctly in context. They are also honing in on their skills in the art of cursive writing. So if you come through, I'll walk you through the classrooms. Mr. Stark's fifth graders are studying realistic fiction with IDA B in our Wonders curriculum. Um, and it's fun to see if you ever been to Mr. Stark's class. He's so calm and just poses questions and the kids answer and then they talk to each other. So, come on through. I'll walk you through there as well. Moving on to math. Mrs. Dale's class, multiplying fractions using the
025partial product strategy or mixed numbers from our current reveal math. Again, a lot of collaboration, a lot of teamwork to help understand what they're working on and to be able to explain their meaning um what they're learning in kindergarten. Nah, this was the show right here. So, check out the videos this weekend. These kinder kids, these guys, they participated in collaborative learning to master the new dance, this new dance that they did, which they performed for their parents and again for our our school as um for all the upper grades. Great show. Parent volunteers in Miss Manzel's class. This is a first grade class and I'm the next two slides are about that. um engaged community members with authentic parent volunteers with authentic parent involvement. Um you come through whether it's arts attack or just
026helping with ro with the stations within the classroom. It's really cool to see how our parents are like integrated in the learning of and teaching of our students. Again, here's a TK class. Um this is a unique thing they tried um where they're mixing the classes. So TK and kinder classes, they create groups and then they rotate to the different classrooms and they get to work with the different teachers. Today, one of my students goes, "I'm in Miss Kenyon's class." I go, "Yay!" He goes, "Give me a hug. I love you." I go, "Love you, too." But that was the experience that you see, they feel welcome in each class and they know every one of our teachers. Um, in Mrs. Mattota's class, they develop continue to develop their critical thinking skills through their journey
027in the writing process as well. Um, this one was adaptations, Predators Prey. And then they did a lot of um pre-write, filling out these um maps, and then some of them are working on their final drafts. Sixth grade, this was kind of cool. I walked in, this actually is from today. I walked in, I go, "Oh, I need to use that." So, they had all of their lessons across the back wall, and what they did is they grouped up in groups. This one is I can't read that far, but there's looks like bed. Oops, sorry. bedtime. Sorry about that. I thought I turned that off. Um, so this is Ben. Looks like Carly and Vincent. So they collaborated on this. Let me find that. Um, they were divided into groups where they created study guides
028for each lesson and then they did a gallery walk and took notes in their own um, journals to prepare them for the test. So they're working together as a group recalling information that learned from each of their lessons and they work together to do that. And not just our students, but all of us are owning these. And so this is our problem solver. Uh he's Mr. Paramore is always solving problems and working hard to make our campus look beautiful. He tore out that whole front section which were bushes, replanted it, and I can't wait to see those spring up and always he takes care of all of our landscape. Our grass is starting to look nice. He built those um garden beds for our kinder team. All right, so wrapping out, ending with our data.
029So, we continue to show improvement. Um, we've gained in both I Ready and ELA 21% and we continue to see those trends as I walk through classes. Our attendance too did take a a dip um in the winter months, but we recouped and so we're uh steady at 95.8 87% as of today. Um, we are tracking the chronic absenteeism um and the ones that are on track from year to date. So, if we can continue to hit them, um, we should be okay. But of the 27 students that are on track for chronic absenteeism, 25 of them were legitimate illnesses or chronic illnesses that keep them from coming to school. Um, so we're working, we're continue to work hard with our families within communication, find out what supports they need to make sure that we
030can help them when they need it to get them to school. And then the other three, two to three students, we're working with them as well. They do have some that were um legitimate absences and some that they may or may not have just forgot to call in. So um again, as you can see, the success that we are seeing when students feel safe both socially and emotionally, they thrive academically. And at Bonso West Elementary, they know they truly belong. Thank you and have a great evening. Thank you. And that brings us to our board member reports. I'm excited to hear what our student board representatives have to say. Good evening, Mrs. McCannernney, superintendent Dr. esteemed board members and audience. This meeting came up rather quickly, but we have a couple of things to look
031forward to at BHS for sure. As Dr. said, there are always amazing things happening. So, as a reminder, BHS's Red Cross Club is hosting a clothing drive until the end of this week. We hope to see our students continue to donate. In addition, a winner has been revealed for a pizza party. Mr. Robinson's Symposium ASB has donated the most cans to women Women's Empowerment Club's canned food drive and will celebrate this Thursday. Also this week before our muchneeded break, we have a spirit week hosted of course by ASB. We have a dress theme every day of the week which we've seen our students and teachers participate in. But that's not all as on Thursday ASB is hosting an Easter egg hunt during lunch. We hope to see students bring an egg to ASB in return
032for a piece of candy. It is sure to be a great turnout. As I mentioned last meeting, our prom has been up and coming. Our theme is Meet Me at the Bayou, set for May 10th at the California Center for the Arts in Escandido. Tickets are on sale now until April 30th. This week, you can buy a ticket for $105, but after spring break, it'll go up to $125. It'll be great fun for seniors after all of our hard work. Speaking of which, I'd like to commemorate all of our seniors. As we've talked about before, it is the time for future decisions. College decisions have been released for almost every college and congratulations to all of our seniors for their hard work. I've had a great time hearing where my peers plan on going after
033high school. Each student at BHS is so talented and going to do great wherever they decide to go. Thank you all and I look forward to the upcoming month, which is sure to be the busiest of them all. Thank you. [Applause] Good evening um board members uh superintendent Dr. golly, Miss McAdernney community. Um, so another month, another board meeting. As we enter the second quarter of the calendar year, the weight of the end of the semester is bearing itself on every Legionnaire's shoulders or lifting itself from everyone's shoulders. It depends on your perspective, I guess. In these board meetings every month, it seems we come back to the um subject of testing. state testing, star testing, CASP testing, I ready testing, a few tests. There are a few tests that will strike fear in the
034hearts of legionnaires everywhere. And these tests are the AP tests. In the coming month, Legionnaires will be putting what they've learned this year to the test in hopes that if they do well enough, they'll receive not only an A+ in the course, but college credit as well. Of course, another big test that we can't forget about is the SAT, which our juniors took last Friday. And I'm sure we all felt a collective sigh of relief when the juniors finally left the gym after a long day of test t taking. We hope that everyone's hard work will pay off and we'll see excellent results on this year's exams. At the end of this week, Legion will be heading off to their well-deserved spring break. But when we get back, we'll have many different events at BHS
035to look forward to. As we've heard from my fellow student board member, I another one of them, another one of many, is our movie night. On Friday, April 25th, we'll be having a relaxing time with popcorn, movies, and board games. This week, the school is voting on which movie will watch. The choices are Lilo and Stitch, Greece, and the uh Fast and Furious Tokyo Gri Tokyo Drift. Sorry, Tokyo Drift. My personal choice is Greece, obviously. Most obvious choice. Um, and additionally, the Red Cross Club is hosting a blood drive, our second blood drive of the year on May 2nd, Friday, May 2nd. So, this month for our shout out, Eileen and I would like to highlight a teacher that is devoted to service and to supporting students above nearly all else, Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson
036wears several hats on campus as ASB adviser, Red Cross club adviser, FCA club adviser, and a 9th grade English teacher. He takes the responsibility of these roles with grace and almost never complains, acting as the backbone that keeps BHS ASV from falling apart. With the events ASB puts on every month, every student at BHS appreciates the often thankless work that Mr. Robinson does behind the scenes, whether they know or not. The end of the year is only getting closer, but we hope that we can still count on your support for our school district. Thank you. Thank you, ladies. I don't want to necessarily put you on the spot, but you did bring up uh college acceptances and whatnot. I'm just curious if you have uh made decisions as to what you might be doing, one
037or both of you, that you might want to share. Uh, no. I haven't made a decision yet, but I'm deciding between UCLA and Columbia. Wow. [Applause] I will be going to Trident Community College in South Carolina and seeing which fouryear I can go to from there. Proud of you both. Thank you so much for your your uh consistent uh attendance and shining so bright as uh representatives for Basel High School. Trusty Ortega. Thank you, Madam President. Madame President, um um I Well, I want to start off with thanking um all the reports on the attendance. It's incredible. You know, it seems in the past we didn't get reports on attendance, you know, as as frequently as we do now. And um and I've been just I got to applaud Mr. Costa and the staff over
038at Vivian Banks and and the community as well working together to get the numbers down to as low as they are. I I think it's a very good positive trend and I think it's going to help those students there and and our community as well to work to where they stay in school for the rest of the rest of the the whole time they have to be in school. I think it's going to be a great start. And um you know, you're never really done with something like that. It's always a challenge to get to, you know, 100%. But you try to keep try to strive for 100%. And uh so yeah, I'd like to give them a hand and all the class. Um the retirees uh three of three of them I I've known
039personally for like literally years. Uh Miss Far and I've known her my entire life and I've worked with her at Vivian Banks for probably the last I don't know 23 years or something. Um Miss uh Miss Powell. Um I went to high school with her so I've known her that long. We won't say how long. I don't want to I don't want to do that to her. Um and uh Mrs. Breenidge, you know, she's a incredible, you know, shining light for my my family, my my sons and my grandsons. Uh they went through the program there, Sullivan. And uh and she's uh been like the one that just kind of helped us all the way through. And I'm sure she did that for a lot of students and but yeah, retirees just um you know,
040there that's a loss right there with those those all five of them. you know, it's a big loss with all of them, but um they've done a great job for us and you know, we just have to fill in the gaps and we have to find new bodies to replace them and and move on. But yeah, I did want to say thank you to all the retirees. Let's see what else I got. Oh, Antonio Gard. Yes, it was uh it was a lot of work putting that together and the theme we came up with this year inviting Bonsil and the staff down. I'm kind of wearing a different hat right now. I you know I have a regular job. I I work at a radio station and the radio station my job at the radio
041station what caused us to have antenna day. So that's the reason why I'm coordinating that. Not because I'm on the board and and our community member, but because I work at the radio station. It's been we we've been broadcasting that event for the last nine years now. And it was incredible this year meeting Todd Gloria, Mayor Todd Gloria. Uh we met um Judge Lomiesa who was the first Native American judge in San Diego County, spirit court judge. Uh we met uh and uh Todd Gloria, he's a Native American. He talked about how his grandfather had moved to San Diego and was not well accepted in San Diego being Native American from Alaska. Um, and he and to commend the, you know, everything the generations over the fact two generations later he became mayor of San
042Diego. Uh, that's, you know, that's a challenge and and success right there. But he's not done yet. He's still got more to do. Um, we also had Jolie Proud, Dr. Julie Proudfit from Cal State University San Marcos. Talk about some of the programs they're doing for Native American education. And it was a great event. The event itself is about teaching uh non-Indians about local Native American stories. And this does not mean the sad stories or this, but there's a lot of good histories there that just aren't shared that people just don't know about. and to have this event to where people have a chance to share these stories in a good way and people are able to hear these stories. Um it was incredible like for example the story of Todd Gloria you know a
043lot of people wouldn't think of that yeah he ran for mayor became mayor laie dah but just think you know two generations before his his dad wasn't even well accepted in the community because being Native American uh it's changed a lot since then so um again that's a good positive story and what else did I want to talk about the purple star award that's incredible you know um uh to see that event to to see the effort that the district and its staff, teachers, and community does to uh help out with our our military students. Um both my grandfathers on my mom and dad's, you know, dad's side, my mom's dad, my dad's dad were in the military. And just to put that perspective, my mom's dad was in the military, her brothers were in
044the military. So there's a whole lot of military on that side. My dad's dad went to he was sent away to Carile Carile School which was over in Pennsylvania from here. In 18 uh 1892 he was sent to Carile. Back then it was by train. Um you know they didn't have planes back then. So um after that he graduated and then he joined the military in 1898 and he fought in the SpanishAmerican War and he didn't come out of there until 1905 and then he came back to California and he was moved down here to Paula because the Indians were in warers when he left but they were moved down to Paula when he came back. But um he was one of our first leaders on the reservation because he spoke all the languages. He
045spoke Latin, he spoke Spanish, he spoke all the different dialects of Native American. And so that's why he was able to communicate with everybody and keep everybody together. But I mean, you know, military, he was in the military. And um I had u a lot of people in my family that were in the military and stuff. So to see this effort to help with our native our military students is uh incredible. And I do have to share one quick story. Camp Pendleton. This is not about local Native Americans. There was a gentleman named Billy Mills. I don't know if you ever heard of him, but Billy Mills is a Native American from um the Midwest and he was in the military. He served in Camp Pendleton. He was a Marine. And while he was there,
046he was training to run. He loved to run. And uh so while he was there, he was training to run. And in 1964, he went to the Olympics in in um Japan. Uh I want to say Japan. and he won the 10,000 meter gold and he's the only American to ever win the 10,000 meter run and that's like a combination of the Purple Star. He's Native American. He's at the Camp Pendleton and he's, you know, getting in the record books as being the only person who ever did it then and who has ever done it since to win that particular race. Um, and like I say, he did training on these hills of Bonsel. you know, it just a lot of things just tie together. And again, this is a story that probably a lot
047of people don't know about our local area. These are local stories that should be told. So that goes back to the Purple Star and Antonio Gar. And with that, I want to say um uh thanks again for everything and as far as letting me ramble about these different things. I love this and I'll pass it on to Roger now. Thank you. Well, first I I want to thank everyone for the wonderful reports and I one of the things was Biztown and I thought that seemed like a wonderful experience and it kind of reminded me of when I uh graduated from college and I started a job and they said, "Well, you work six months and then you get a week." Okay. And then at uh at five years you get two weeks and at 15
048years you get three weeks and 20 years you get four weeks. And every time I got to the fiveyear and I got you know I got my second week they changed it to three years and you got two weeks and then I got to I got to the 15 and they changed it to 12. And then I got to 20 and yes they made it like 18. And I was like every time. So then when I when I actually leave the company and and retire, starting employees got 20 days right off the bat. And I'm thinking so things have changed. But um I I never I was always a little worried about that five days, but once you get into the work world and you find out that maybe now Saturday and Sunday you're not
049studying and you're not things you have to do, it was it was a wonderful time. So, um, but I think it's a great experience that they see, oh my gosh, sitting here and doing this for all day, uh, and then you're going to have to do it the next day and the next day is it's it's is a wonderful experience. Hopefully, we're not going to tell these kids that, uh, um, uh, that maybe they don't want to work, but uh, and I noticed you had one that that wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, and maybe they should try that for a while, too. And maybe they might want to go to work. Um um also I'd like to congratulate uh um and thank our all our employees but also those that are just recent um
050retiring uh Linda Molly um Terry uh Monica and Varna and uh uh thank them for their dedication and and and um their heart and soul giving to these kids. I would like to thank them. And lastly, um, thank you for everyone who put together Purple Star. It was an honor to participate and I know it was a lot of hard work and it was really well organized. Thank you. [Applause] I'm still reeling from the announcement of the schools that we're choosing over there very at the very end of the table. So, congratulations again. And I think it's u it's a testament to uh the culmination of a lot of hard work on behalf of the students in this district and the teachers in this district and the staff in this district and the administrators in
051this district. And I look at the calendar, I'm looking through all of the different reports from all the different sites and there's a lot going on. So the we've got spring break and then those seven weeks afterwards are going to go by like a freight train. So, thank you for all the work that's been done to make this a a wild ride this this school year and uh and for the most part with a lot of accomplishments. So, looking forward to uh seeing what um develops and in the at the final stretch of this year. Um going to be sad to say goodbye to our retirees. Um thank you for the lovely sendoff um and recognition of of all of them. uh they've had uh I've had personal connections with my own students um in
052classes with those teachers and and staff. So, it's uh going to be a big loss. And um other than that, thank you to everyone who's here and and you know, month after month and participating in the um you know, the forums here that we have to make the decisions to try to provide the very best education for our students in in our community. and I am looking forward to watching what you know we continue to come up with. Thank you Dr. for your efforts um now that you've been a official superintendent you know since for a few months and I think we're we're we're working on the on a great path. So with that we're going to move to our agenda. Uh there is our consent consent agenda. Is there a motion to approve? Motion
053to approve. Second. All in favor? I I motion carries unanimously. Bringing us to our information items. Uh we have a presentation on our community engagement initiative update, our CI update, Miss Rodriguez. Oh, I need reader classes nowadays. Good evening board members, President Anderson, all board members, Banso High School students, members, Superintendent Gali, Dr. and Gina, and all members of our community and leaders. I am so grateful to share this moment and this space with you all. We deeply appreciate the administration for recognizing the value of our community engagement initiative CIE team and supporting our efforts to foster a positive impact. Through this collaboration, we nurtured a meaningful and engaging learning community that values diversity, inclusivity, and a sense of belonging for every student. Where did I click? Okay, you got it. Thank you. Together we
054are making significant strides towards building a more inclusive and supportive educational environment. No right there. Um we had the opportunity to attend a CI conference for professional development twice and our first and our next conference is scheduled for May 1st and May 2nd. During our first conference, we embraced strategies to engage with our community, families, teachers, and students, understanding that research supports the positive impact and active engagement on student success. At our first conference, yes, at our first conference in San Jose, the CI team crafted crafted our mission statement reflecting our commitment to fostering unity and collaboration. Our CI missions goes like this. We are Banso Unified School District that believes we can achieve unity and collaboration between students, families, districts and community and communities to accomplish and thrive in all wonderful possibilities of belonging.
055In addition to our statement, we also have our CI visioned and our vision goes like this. By the end of 2026 2027 school year, our goal is that for all families to feel included, value, and respected, and to have a greater sense of belonging within our school community. We trust the process and appreciate the support of our leaders. I would like to share a quote from Brenet Brown. True belonging never ask us to change who we are. It demands us to be who we are. Now I will let our CI team members shine a way and elaborate more on this exciting new program. They will shared more about this trans transform transformative efforts and strategies that are helping us cultivate trusting relationships and sense of belonging and how we are empowering all our students and
056families fostering and thriving community. Gracias. I would like to call our team members all of them please come up. I can see that. Oh, and then perfect. Karolina Caramo will be next to present our displayed and then we'll go on. Go ahead. Thank you. Um I'm first I'm going to actually share Miss Suedo's part of our um slideshow um because we are a team and we help each other out. So I'm going to go ahead and um share hers and then I'll share mine as well. So, good evening esteemed members of the school board and cabinet. This evening, I am excited to share a recap of our community engagement initiative highlighting a mission of achieving unity and collaboration among students, families, districts, and our broader community. So, we have been working diligently in such a
057short amount of time. It is clear that we have made meaningful strides in connecting families with essential resources and fostering a sense of community belonging. And that is what you will take away today. Whether our back to school nights or parent boot camps, we welcome families to engage with teachers and access vital resources ensuring that parents and guardians feel equipped to support their children's education. Our monthly literacy nights promoted the importance of reading while celebrating the richness of our diverse community. They have highlighted the importance of literacy as a bridge that connects us all. Through cultural celebrations, we honored the diverse backgrounds present in our community, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and appreciation. Furthermore, our parent education classes with Miss Leonor and Mrs. Erica have supported have empowered families with valuable skills to navigate
058their challenges and ensure they can effectively advocate for their children. A key goal of our initiative is to meet with principles at each school site to assess all stakeholders needs actively. This approach is vital for identifying current systems that promote effective community engagement. We recognize the importance of our English learner advisory committees at all five school sites. ELAC teams serve as liaons, excuse me, between schools and families facilitating better education. That was from Mrs. Suos. Okay. So, can we go up to one more? One more. There it is. Okay. So, this is these are my slides. Um, I am proud to share that the CI sent out a survey after our school literacy night and we found that responses were all very positive. Um, this is after our second literacy night which happened a couple
059of weeks ago. Most of the community that attended heard of the event through the school's newsletters, through our liaison and Lee Leonor, and through word of mouth. It's great to see that all of the avenues used to communicate events to the community from our school s'mores or informing many. We also received input that a good way to improve literacy in the home would be more visits to the library or giving books as presents. It's encouraging to see parents participate and share that they are reading to their children as early as TK. Then we see a wonderful couple who not only volunteer in our events, but they have their child volunteer time and they encourage others to attend and participate. I also included um he's not here in the picture, but Koi, who was our Vietnamese
060student, who also volunteered to read that night. and um others to attend and participate. I um Bonso West whose parents permitted I want to thank them to read out loud in this native in their native languages. We also see one of our student members with um his father. So I wanted to commend Evan's father as well and their family because um he has come to our conferences as well and so he's really supporting his son and I thought that was a great accomplishment and that's a great thing. So I want to thank the parents. Our volunteers and participation has increased from one event to another. So I also want to um celebrate that as well. So um that was my slide. Thank you. Next one. Hello, my name is Erica Vgara Diaz. I'm a paraprofessional
061in general education and I currently work in Bonso Elementary in TK. I represent our staff or perspective um our staff perspective in our community engagement team. As you could see in our slides, we are talking a lot about the importance of workshops to help families. workshops that in that are provided in this district set high standards high but attainable standards and because of the unwavering support through the different processes they have proven to be very success successful. I had been outside of the workforce for a few years while at the same time being a community and library advocate. I was constantly seeking to grow and learn in workshops. I remember a resume workshop provided um outside of you know the district. And when I went there I realized it was not designed for everybody. It
062was designed for people that had masters or PhDs and they had many years of experience which left many people that are passionate about helping our communities like me out of the process. The support that is provided at BUSD also makes families feel valued and welcomed because of the open door and availability um that they provide. you can move to the next one. Um, as you could see, we also work very hard to constantly update and connect with organizations from the community. Our goals are to create more events that connect families, bring about more involvement, and can continue on their own uh growing on their own just like the very impressive multicultural night at Bonsil West. Also, I am very I would like to thankfully um I would like to formally thank our newest members, Evan
063and Mrs. Sanutotos. Thank you for the valuable and crucial input and collaboration that you have added to our team. Also, thank you to all our wonderful board members and staff. Thank you. [Applause] Sorry, I'm taller than her. Good evening. My name is Crystal Diaz and as Erica shared about the incredible workshops we've hosted, I'd like to highlight additional supporting programs funded by the CI each designed to nurture and meaningful engagement learning communities. For example, hotspots and Chromebooks assisting with data confirmation for parents cultural nights at Sullivan Middle School, Bonso High School, Bonso West, and Vivian Banks. We are thrilled to announce that Bonso Elementary will be hosting their first multicultural event on May 9th from 1 to 3. Please join us for this exciting celebration. Regular newsletters from principles, district leaders, Lyon's members send in
064weekly and monthly newsletters supporting families with afterchool programs supporting the special education students. Bonso High School valictorian um circle ceremonies. our family literacy nights. This event enhance family engagements by promoting literacy, involving parents and childrens in sharing reading activities, creating a diversity of encouragement for love and learning. First Native Garden supplies for Vivian Banks, our first community job fair. Through these, Bonso Unified School District is building a vibrant educational environment where all learners can thrive. We center strategies to promote and diversity and real world connections. We appreciate the ongoing ongoing support for our leaders and communities as we continue to strive for the brighter, more enhanced future for our students. Thank you. Thank you. Elementary. Familia. [Music] Leon Rodriguez. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! [Music] The child nutrition service particip part in a group of CI. Gracias.
065[Applause] That was so beautiful. But I'm going to read it in English now. Okay. Good evening to everybody here. My name is Claudia Inohosa and I am the parent in this school, Bonso Unified School District. I currently hold two ch I currently have two children studying in this district. My oldest son is in the seventh grade at SMS, which is Sullivan, and my youngest daughter is in kindergarten at Bonso Elementary School. Today, I want to share with you my experience in this school district as a migrant mother, and my language is Spanish. It's difficult for many of us as parents to start over in a country that is different from our from our own in every way from culture, habits, language, etc. And not just for the parents, but for our children, leaving everything behind
066and starting over again. They must meet new friends, leave their family, and begin a new begin a new school system in a language that is not the one that they know, but of course with better opportunities. As a mother, I found myself needing help, and I managed to take the first step and break down the barriers that we as migrant parents often believe exist only in language. I put aside my embarrassment and got to work. I heard there was an English class for parents and I started asking around in order to better support my children. At the time, Mrs. Haro was my son's EL teacher and she referred me to Miss Leonor Rodriguez who very kindly opened the doors to her English classes for parents. In these classes, I not only began to learn to
067communicate, but I also received support in accessing the district's links. the Aries portal, survey links, and academic support. I met mothers like me who were struggling to better understand the language and be able to help their children. It also improved my communication with each of my children's teachers. And I realized that not only was that not only was the school, but our district a second home for our children. The help I was receiving wasn't just for the job, but was done with commitment, dedication, and above all, joy for the community. In these two years that I ventured to get to know my district better, I had the opportunity to work in this district. I not only had the opportunity to take English classes, but also be part of the child nutrition services part-time and then
068later on full-time at Bonso West School. I continued with English classes in the evenings and continued practicing my English at work. Now I have the opportunity to participate in the community engagement initiative group and be an example that as immigrant parents we can be part of the community. It also improved my communication with each of my children's teachers and I realized that not only Hold on hold on I think that was repeated. Okay, I'll repeat. I'll read it. It also improved my communication with each of my children's teachers. And I realized that not only was the school um but our district a second home for my children, the help I was receiving wasn't just for their job, but done with commitment, dedication, and above all, joy for the community. In these two years that I
069ventured to get to know my district better, I had the opportunity to work in this district. Yeah, it sounds like it repeated itself. Um, okay, I'll just skip that part. I am very grateful to my district for all the opportunities it has given me and that now I can be fully committed to my children's education and be aware of everything, knowing all the opportunities that the Bonso Unified School District offers is free of charge. I also want to encourage parents to put aside the shame and cultural barriers that we often put on ourselves and begin to walk handinhand with our district for the benefit of our children, the community, and future generations. As parents, I invite you just like me to make a difference and get involved in your children's education. Don't forget that the
070best part, the best example of perseverance and success for our children is you and me, the parents. Thank you all. Can you go back? All right. Miaqua tell Evan. Hello. My name is Evan and today I'll be talking about um our CI programs and stuff we are supporting. So as you can see here here on our slides, we were able to attend and support multiple events. We were able to attend our native warner advisory committee out in Paula, get some good feedback and really get to further know the community out in Paula as well as showing support for our adult trans transition program and also our high school valictorian circle and further building off that on our next slide. We've been really able to include the community in a way that I find very important
071and special. We have been able to pull pull volunteers from the high school to come and help at events like our like the Valvatoran event that happened not too long ago as well as our literacy nights. This really we are helping build a sense of belonging and really show that our youth have ways of helping our community environments like this. These students also build important life skills that are important for they'll need the rest of their lives. things like learning how to interact with people in an environment you're expected to be helpful in volunteer work and really putting yourself out there. These are aren't just skills we ask of our volunteers but things we are helping build off of to build and mold active community members and leaders in our community. I'm now going to
072pass this on over to our next member for some closing words. [Applause] Thank you. Good evening. Um, esteemed board members, um, Superintendent Dr. and President Lissa and Miss Gina. Um, my role on being in the CI team is to provide a student's perspective on what change is needed to better our district to make the community a healthy whole. Now, with some announcements. A special thanks to the following local business partners for their support and donations to our new community engagement initiative program, especially for our family literacy nights. Subway for their donation of their last family literacy night. Nessie Burgers for their donations of many gift certificates to raffle out our family literacy nights. Impressions and Inc. for creating signs and banners for our special events and collaboration of our amazing program of migrant education. Our
073upcoming events that CI will be collaborating with is on April 14th to 18th will be our spring break. On April 23rd, we will have our Bonso High School mural cutting ri mural ribbon cutting. On April 24th, we will have our third family lacrossey night. On April 26th, we will have our Bonso High School boot camp. On April 30th, we will have our spring art show.

And on May 12th, we will have our reclassification event. I'd like to end this speech with a closing statement. In every deliration, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations. This
074quote was taken from the great law of Eorus Confederacy and see our community engagement initiative teams hopes to make positive lasting impacts on our district to create a better community. Thank you for listening. If you guys have any questions, we can answer any. Any questions? Anyone has any questions? I think that's a really great presentation the way everybody spoke up and uh yeah, I'm really impressed. Really impressed by by everybody involved and uh the young lady did a great job there, too. Thank you. Thank you. We have an amazing team member. So, thank you to them and thank you to our leaders for for your support. Thank you. Thank you for being here. appreciate it. Great job, Evan. And that brings us to our second of our information items this evening. Uh we have a
075presentation uh for facilities planning. U Miss Caroline Brown. Good evening everybody. Um we're here for a facilities um board update, our monthly look at where we are with facilities and planning. Um I have an agenda here for us for tonight. Um basically the t every time we meet I talk about what we've done since the last time we met. So the actions since the last board meeting on the 13th of March was that we held a back meeting, the Bonszo advisory committee meeting on March uh 19th. We held a board study session on March 27th and then since then we've also received the Davis demographics uh forecast student forecasting enrollment report. Um I'm going to also bring back the new development activity that's happening within the district that's bringing us um new students and new
076families and um continuing to explore the various school configurations and feasibility for those configurations. Um uh there'll be a section of about uh 15 slides about the demographics report and then um the next steps in what in what we need to go forward doing. So Dr. Golly generally starts all of our um meetings regarding the vision and the mission and then we've done the back committees um one and two where we've set goals and established common themes. We've done the second meeting of uh facts and needs and then the next meeting which will be in uh May is going to be meeting number three where we're going to brainstorm solutions to the um the district's configuration options. Uh next slide is the uh graphic that we developed and shared at the back meeting as well
077as the board study session. This is a graphic profile of the current district and how uh we're demographically laid out, how many students we serve and what percentage of population um we're serving in various areas that are flagged. Um the this slide here we showed last time. It's our uh grade level enrollment report and it talks about permanent classrooms, portable classrooms and um the one column at the right hand side which was enrollment projected for 2728 was blank and in your copy that you're looking at at your desk, it's also blank. The copies were run prior to this slide being updated. So if you have a pen and you want to write those numbers down on your copy uh for later u that would be fine too. Um so the um enrollment because we don't
078have uh elementary attendance boundaries within the school district. The enrollment projections forecast is is done where we combine all the TK5 and then the K6 enrollments I mean the 678 enrollments together. So I had to extrapolate what we think our projection is for Bonsel L and what we think our projection is for Bonsel West because we do have that K6 K5 configuration difference. So um then then the and also in the Davis demographics report they take the K5 for Vivian Banks and put it in with the TK5 because we don't have attendance boundaries. So that that's a little bit of a of a guess as to what our attendance might be based on our current configuration knowing that we will be probably talking about doing some attendance boundaries for our elementarymentaries uh as we move
079through our configuration and feasibility study. Uh, and then our projections for Sullivan Middle are uh 595 and I extrapolated out the um sixth graders that would be rolling into Bonsel West at this time and about 444 for the high school with a total of 2510 districtwide potentially um due to the influx of the absorption of the new um uh facility or the new homes coming in. Um and so this information was also shared with the developers um as these as these developments are coming in. So then um we have the developer activity just a reminder and an update on some of the numbers. Uh Trioint Homes which is the Citro property we have 413 homes to be completed between now and December. 100 units between I'm sorry were completed up to December of 24. 100
080units are expected between January and December of 25 and there's a potential 80 units uh being added if the district um releases the property uh of the Citro site. And then we have the Havens Bonsel Oaks LLC 59 units, 191 units coming. So 59 are done in phase one. Uh not too many occupancies right now because they're just finishing construction. And then phase two and three are in the planning stages. And then the update to Ocean Breeze is they have 394 units, not the 397 we thought before. That plan is is morphing through. So as we look at the developments coming in, we take a look at what the generation rates are and we say how many elementary kids are we going to anticipate seeing, how many middle and how many high. And so we
081take the number of units coming in and multiply it by those factors. Right now we're using the state factors, but I'm going to touch on that in just a minute. um we will be expecting probably 325 new students by the end of all these home builds by 2030. So we looked at the school configurations um with the back committee and um at the board study session we have our current school configuration where we have quite a few um configuration options being delivered and then in configuration number one it would contemplate 2K8s one K5 2K8 sorry TK and then one 5 uh K5 1 912 and then the TK virtual uh ATP. So the K5 uh Vivian Banks is repeated in configuration one and two as is the TK12 uh virtual and ATP program. The only
082differences between configuration 1 and two is that we have two TK8s and one 912 or we have two TK 6s and one 712. So those were the configurations that were reviewed uh by the uh team the back committee. Then we put together some costing with those um configurations. These are based on hard construction costs. So these costs would need to be increased by 20 to 30% to cover architectural design, engineering um and planning uh costs. And so it really is going to depend on where we land and what projects we identify at each school as to how much things are going to cost. But our first stab at the current configuration would be about 84 million across the board. A lie and share would be at Sullivan Middle School where we have a number of
083outdated relocatables as well as at the high school site. And then we have the um configuration one potentially uh depending on where we land with where we're going to put the TK 8s and the 912. So, we could do two TK8s, Bonso L and Bonso West, or we could do one of the TK8s at SMS um BHS, and then move the uh 912 to another site. Um and so, but we only costed one, so it's about 70 million to do the work. And a lion share is still at the U middle school high school campus um on LI on Lilac. And then configuration two uh is about 74 million spread across all sites and um it's going to depend on where we land with which configuration. So I think our work is going to be
084finding out the ideal configuration we can implement district in the district and then step towards um funding those those alterations and we'll be able to do better cost estimates when we have further defined um sites that we're going to be actually doing the work at. And then the funding and finance, as a reminder, we have about um 10 million on hand and about 10 million in fee collection coming in the next two to four years with these new developments coming in. And we do have some eligibility at the state. And so if we bring these local dollars to the table, we'll be able to unlock some of the state funding and further um implement our program. These funding sources exclude general fund and they um there are some restrictions to how you can spend some
085of the money that we can get involved with um in our further discussions. And then I'm going to jump out to actually Christian is going to jump out to the other presentation. This was a presentation given to me by um Davis Demographics. They were unfortunately couldn't send a representative tonight. They couldn't get that scheduled. Um, so I got a briefing on this report and so I'll do the best I can going through it. So the work they did was they took a look at the data that we provided. It was based on seabeds of October. Every year uh the first Wednesday in October they researched the residential development. So the residential development report that was in last year's report is updated to the current year information. Um they looked at demographics or de demographic dynamics
086in the district and attendance areas. And then um wanted to remind you that it's all based on the forecasts are all based on residential numbers, not your out of districts. Your out of districts are added at the end, assuming they're trending the same way. And then we have the uh chart of all of the items that go into the data calculation. They take four years. Now, they've been working for the district for four years. They have four years of historical data. We've got some birth rate information we can share that is also embedded in especially in the kindergarten class uh cohort calculation. We've got the mobility factors of grade levels going of students staying with us through their grade level career K12. And then we have the um student yield factor that we put um
087on top of it all and that comes up with our um student forecasts. So then we have the data. These are your heat maps that you've seen before. You can see that we've got uh high density over on the west. We have some high density hotspots around Bonso L. We have some um just east of the 15. And then Citro is still just a little bit red up there in the upper uh corner um because they haven't they don't have all their moveins yet. So that'll probably turn yellow in the next um 12 months. Then we've got some hot spots in high density doubt at the Paula area. And the blue areas are the blue uh shaded areas are just showing where there's light density in the district. And then this is the work we're
088doing with the study areas. They have 34 study areas broken out and they take a look at what's going on in each study area. So we can take a look at all the study areas east of the 15 and west of the 15, north of the 76, south of the 76 and determine how many students are coming there. What we're going to further work as these developments come on is do smaller sub areas. So we'll have more sub areas where we can take a look at the neighborhood and the house types of like Citro and figure out are we really getting.5 elementary 2 middle and 7 high school students or are we getting something less or something more than that so that we can further um make accurate forecasts of students coming. And then we
089have the forecast. Um the birth rates uh these are healthy birth rates. The the zip codes um are all across are not just part of Bonsel School District, but you have zip codes of Oceanside, Vista, Fallbrook. Um so you have birth rates of if you look at 2014 3,100 and we had um 204 attend Bonszel schools and so that's been a healthy we get about um about 204 that right hand column where it says 149 at the end so anywhere between 150 and 200 of the kindergarteners births are being captured by those birth rates and so that's considered considered to be a healthy birth rate capture. Whereas if it was like 98% of capture rate, that would be considered declining enrollment. So they're looking at um a stable and uh a stable birth rate and
090capture rate of the um students coming into kindergarten. That helps with the kindergarten projection. That doesn't quite help with the TK projection because it's not a fully implemented program yet. That'll be fully implemented in 2526. And then this is a a good story about the mobility. Um what we've got here is 20 23 and 24 mobility. Meaning if you're in kindergarten and you go to first grade, we're capturing additional first graders going into second going into second grade based on year. So we have uh 23 24 and 24 25. And then the last table there is a uh a delta a plus delta of how are we doing with our capture of mobility across the district. And you'll see that the green ones we've got a 0.01 um increase in our capture from second to
091third. And then if you take a look over at the um I wanted to line that update. We have a 0.04 04 going from 7 to 8 and a 0.05 positive going from 6 to 7. So we're looking really good in our mobility and our and our ability to keep students retained within the district. And so hopefully that will uh that trend will continue um as we grow and develop the program. Uh we have student yields factors. We've used the state yield factor. We're looking at these developments that are here. We've got um Campus Park which is in planning. It's not anywhere near uh ready for approval. We've got the Citro development, Ocean Breeze, and the Havens uh phases one, two, and three. And so they have a absorption table there where for if they
092have 25 homes done in a certain year, that's what's in the projection. So this is all the math behind the uh actual forecast that we're going to see. And this is a a graphic depiction of the um of the developments in the area that we've been talking about. Um we have 712 units in the forecast. We're looking at 300 uh over 300 K5s uh 150 140 uh 678s and about 500 912s based on those housing units coming online uh in the time that we have. And then this is your projection. Um so the red line is indicating the role of the cohorts from year to year. So if you take a look at the TK of 87 and 24 that's going to get into the K to be 154. And that's based on birth rate
093mobility and um the projection of housing. first grade is going to be at go to one when they get to first grade we'll have a class of 159 and then we'll have a class of 189. So you follow that red line down and that's that maturity of the student going uh all the way out to uh 2030. So we have uh resident um see I have this pointer thingy here. Yeah. So this is your resident school total by grade and so your your total enrollment is going to be you know 1900 2000 but because we have all these interd district transfers they get added as they we are anticipating those not changing much so then you have your total enrollment uh down here at 23 or 2274 for the current year and then 23 and
094then 239 and then 251. So, we're on a trajectory of growth um through these years and this is a seven-year projection. So the K12 forecast is um is on a trajectory um as a total district enrollment is by 2031 will be right around 2750 and then that broken down by TK and to five uh will get up to 2030 in 15 uh 1571 in 2031. And then we have your forecast of um which is it's taking all of 68. So it's taking all the Bonso West sixth graders and putting them into the 68 projection for the resident students. And then the 912 forecast if we can keep that mobility and the capture rate from grade to grade will be up at the 500 level. And we have the new um new enrollments coming in from
095the new developments. And then this is a map of sort of the hotspot areas of where you're going to see substantial change in enrollment by quadrant area. And so you'll see the green is going to be significant increase because of the developments that are in the area and over the next seven years. And then the yellows are turning into maybe a declining enrollment. But we had them put the numbers on this map because while it might be red, it might only be, you know, five kids out of out of five or something like that. So, um, we got some declining in the upper, uh, north uh, east area. We've got some increase in the Citro and the Ocean Breeze area and the Havens area. And then it's sort of a neutral uh, steady change in
096the middle area. So, sorry to interrupt, but the the the little guide is incorrect. Then the little what? The the legend should be green as increase instead of decrease, right? Oh, yeah. You're right. That's flipped. Good catch. Nice. Thank you. I will have them change that. I was just looking at the colors. And then in summary, the overall um student population is expected to increase by 21 21% over the next seven years. Um king kindergarten class is expected to increase over the next seven years because a positive trend of of the birth rates and the capture of your of those students. Also, the increase of the TK program will um help us better project as that becomes a full implementation, we'll be able to better project the kindergarten increases are expected at the elementary level,
097the middle school, and the high school. And then we probably will be up by about 198 kids over all over the next seven years. Um and then the district growth is due to residential development, implementation of universal TK, and the increasing K cohorts. And so as they move up and we keep that mobility um rate down, the exit rate down as people just continue through uh the district, it will um help with us meet those to meet those projections. So if there's any questions or discussions on this, then I'll go back to the other any questions on that. So, we're going to put uh this full report in your email uh for tomorrow and then um and we can we can email this presentation. Well, you have the PDF of the presentation, so you should
098be fine there. Um and if you have any other questions, I can take those. So, next steps in closing. Um we have the future student data. What we want to do is discuss what the gen rates are. So, we want to really dive into the study areas of the new developments coming in, figure out what the real gen rate is for Bonso Unified School District and then um also do a deep dive into our interd district transfers in and out and just to see what's happening with students going out and what's happening with students coming in and how many there are. Um we need to start engaging in an elementary school boundary discussion to uh to try to balance the elementary school attendance. Uh we need to continue to identify projects funding and figure out
099timing and um priorities and feasibility as well as any budgets and how we're going to leverage funding and uh state and local funding. And then what we might suggest is to we don't have another board study session until we come with a final report scheduled in June. What we might want to do is have a study session or two scheduled between now and June to talk about the configuration options and feasibilities and to dive into the SQL implications of those changes as well as the current market uh construction market conditions to see you know sort of where we are uh budget-wise. And then I think as we work with all these community um input groups to come up with a frequently asked questions document that we can put on the website that can maybe help
100people understand sort of what our thoughts are around what questions we're getting and what our thoughts are around what those answers might be. That's all that I had. Thank you. [Applause] Any questions for Caroline? a lot of lot of data to crunch and take action on. Appreciate you.

Big four, service, innovation, collaboration, integrity. I have five bullets and cut me off because I may go too long again as usual. Number one, the two student board members, the legionnaires over here. Uh, we haven't had but you two wonderful and I'd like that to continue if if possible. notes always have too because when you're talking to the leader of China and his wife and there's one daughter who graduated from Harvard she graduated from Harvard then you can go and talk to them and she'll fill in well but I think it'd be good to continue with two if you can okay number two bullet Ellen King
107quote applies to all the board members all the educators really everybody in this room and the Unified School District picked the BA the BAC. Okay. Allan King was a was a comedian. He passed away. And I want to really drive this home. Your legacy, that's this board. It's this board right here, is not what you accomplish in your life, your entire life, but what you inspire others to accomplish in their lifetime. And I'll repeat that quickly. Your legacy, this board here, is not what you accomplish in your life, but you what you inspire in others to accomplish in theirs. And why I bring this up because I love to bring up the the Gird Road School. That's probably not going to happen in any of our lifetimes. But I remember Lou Hol or Lou Riddle,
108Lou Riddle's legacy. I know that we don't really have the dollars. We don't have it now. We probably won't have it, especially with the things that are going on. But remember that that's what you're doing. Just because you can't accomplish it now, it may be accomplished all on the future. The third bullet, the the village news 3 April 2025 Thursday. The front page looks real good. 2025 California distinguished schools include two in Fbrook Live Oak Elementary and secondly, Laoma. Boy, that just wonderful. But then you turn to page five and I'm doing this for the board. You know, it looks good. Gee, it's not about Bonsel. It's about It's about the about the Fbrook team. And I'm wearing the Fbrook jacket here. But the point is on five, page five, mother withdraws son from Potter
109Junior High following classroom assault. That wasn't on the front page. That's good. But my my point is there's good things happening, but there's also bad things happening, too. And it's the same thing in our district. So, just keep doing the great job that you all all are are are doing with the good with the bad happens. Number four bullet, the purple star award ceremony. This this just just just absolutely fantastic. We've heard it so much tonight and so welld deserved. A total class act from the sergeant major and the superintendent Your comments all the way on down. and uh my favorite uh uh president also uh there just just just just wonderful. The students totally outstanding just just unbelievable blown away. The student speakers just super great. The last thing number bullet five is the
110BCP sounds of the future. I'm I'm out here watching the trees go down and it's sad and all of that, but that that that's going on on the park right out over here, right in our our front yard looking out there. I love it because it's the sounds and thank you young lady. It's the sounds of the future like Bonsel Elementary and I can hear the school things going on. I can see the cars going by, the repair trucks going by from from Bonso and there's there's the time. So, lots of heavy equipment going on. But remember, the park is the sound of the future. It's going to help the Bonso Unified School District. It's fantastic. It really motivates me. And then we can say with the with the artillery going off, the machine guns
111firing at 2:00 a.m. in the morning with the final protective lines. That's the sounds of freedom. So, we've got the future and freedom. Hopefully, the freedom won't involves two so many wars. But you all you all what you're doing is going to continue because we need educators. We need more educators, maybe less military, maybe less firefighters, maybe less police and all that as these things are solved, but education will continue to grow because that's the only hope for the future. The only hope is not that the military out there using the bayonets and throw the children up here and see if they can catch them on the end of a bayonet. Unfortunately, uh that that's that's a bad we need less of that and we need more of you all educators, you people that attend.
112And you young lady, thank you for being here. Thank you very much for letting me yap yap on here. Take care. Thank you, Commander Joe. And that brings us to uh 11, the future planning. Um, our next regularly scheduled meeting of the Bonsville Unified School District Governing Board of Trustees is scheduled for Thursday, May 8th, uh, unless otherwise officially noticed. Close session at 4:30 and open session 6 PM here in this room. Correct. Okay. And with that, we will conclude at whatever time it is. Thank you all for staying till the bitter end. Bye-bye.
