Mrs. Flores who has a prior engagement with her profession that she cannot be here tonight. And uh report of action taken dur close session. There was no close session items to report. And that'll take us to the pledge of allegiance. Dr. Kim. >> Thank you, Mr. Peterson. It is my pleasure to uh welcome uh the proud principal of Royal Middle School, Dr. Jen Powell, to introduce the um reciter of our pledge of allegiance. >> Thank you. Good evening, board president Peterson, esteemed members of the board of education, Dr. Kim, and executive cabinet. Tonight, it is truly my privilege to introduce a student who embodies the very best of Royal Oak
002Runner Spirit, Kenneth Spencer. Kenny, will you come up and lead us in the flag salute tonight? Uh, please stand up. Please put your right hand over your heart. Ready, begin. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. >> Kenny is an exceptional student, consistently earning top marks all around in his classes. Beyond academics, he stands out as a dedicated, well-rounded leader. He currently serves as our ASB president, runs our runs on our cross country team, and is a standout member of both this advanced band and even marches with the high school marching band. As impressive as his school commitments are, his dedication to the community is equally remarkable. Kennedy Kenny
003is actively working on his Eagle Scout project, which involves revamping the wrestling room at the high school to create a vital space to support future wrestlers, a cause close to his heart. In his spare time, if he has any, he races motocross on his bicycle and runs his own YouTube channel, providing math tutorials for others. We are incredibly proud to have a student of Kenny's caliber representing the Royal Oak Road Runners tonight. Thank you, Kenny. >> Thank you, >> Kenny. Hold on, sweetheart. Oh yeah. Thank you. Yeah. >> All right. And I believe Dr. Powell is going to be introducing her superstar student and then uh following with that her partner in education, please. >> Absolutely. Thank you, Dr. Kim. I am thrilled to introduce Royal Oak Middle School star student, Stella Ortega. Come on.
004You got to stand with me while I embarrass you. Stella truly represents the best of what we hope for in our Royal Oak Runners. She is an exceptional student who maintains a stellar 4.0 GPA. Beyond her academic success, she is deeply involved in the school and community life. in drama. She's a standout performer, taking on key roles, including the part of Maisy Leird in this year's production of Susicle, I cannot wait until February. Just a little plug for our musical um to see this fantastic production come alive, where I know she will shine. She's a dedicated leader in ASB. She served as seventh grade president and is currently the manager of activities. She was a critical contributor to our recent very successful rally. Outside of school, she's a highly disciplined athlete participating in competitive swim
005and is an active member of Girl Scouts. Most importantly, and this part I love, when I asked her, "What do you see for yourself? What do you want to do in the future?" She shared, "I'm not sure, but whatever it is, I want to make a positive impact on the world." And that part just absolutely what I see from her day in and day out. She I can confirm she's off to an outstanding start. Please join me in recognizing Stella Ortega, a dedicated scholar, leader, and community contributor. [Music] Dad, you had a good night tonight. Many of us [Applause] Next, I'd like to introduce Mrs. Judy Leiddon, my amazing assistant principal, who works really closely with our community partner. So, I'm going to have her introduce our community partner. though I could not be more
006proud of her myself. But you know, can I please have Miriam Delgado come join me? [Music] Thank you. So, tonight we have the distinct honor of truly celebrating our extraordinary member of our Royal Oak community, our dedicated counseling intern who we happened to coers over to our side. We stole her from a job on our site and we love her. So, thank you for being our valued community partner, Miriam Delgado. Miriam embodies an unwavering commitment to student well-being and engagement. She consistently goes above and beyond in her role. Her greatest impact is perhaps seen in the strong and genuine relationships that she builds with our students through her structured check-ins and students assigned to her case load. We have seen how they have grown in that time with her both in their academics, in their
007citizenship, and even in their just overall wanting to be at school. Okay, we see that in their citizenship and attendance. Beyond her individual counseling, mentorship, Miriam is also a catalyst for a positive school culture. She is the driving force behind our rallies, our lunchtime activities, and utilizes both team building and getting to know you activities that help our entire school level up its positive culture. She even brings staff members into the activities, ensuring the community as a whole feels connected. What truly set Miriam apart is her incredible dedication and generosity of time. We know that she donates countless unpaid hours to be present for our students, often showing up as early as 700 a.m. to support our student success talks on the days that she's not even assigned to our site and our rallies. Her
008dedication is a powerful example to of the commitment we cherish at Royal Oak. Miriam, thank you for your exceptional service, passion, and partnership. Please, please join me in honoring Miriam. [Applause] Go jump into the picture. [Applause] Okay, that's going to take us to our student rep report. But prior to that, we'd like to invite Iris Quavvis up, who is our Charter Oak High School student rep to the city of Glendor uh for our introduction. Go ahead and tell us a little bit about yourself if you don't mind, ma'am. >> Yeah, of course. Good evening everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful day today. Um I'm Iris. I'm a senior at Charter Oak High School. Um, a little bit about me is that I've been involved in ASB for all four years of high school, taking
009leadership positions for three. I've been, you know, sophomore class vice president and junior class vice president. And I currently hold the role of senior class president and senior council president. And I spend most of my time, you know, in ASB planning events, working on things, staying after school, any free time that I can is dedicated to ASB, hoping to make so many amazing events for the students there. And if it's not an ASB, it's, you know, on the court playing with my volleyball team, you know, late practices at night. You know, we just played our last game of the season yesterday, placing second in the league and on our way to CIF soon. Um, and that's a little bit about me. [Applause] >> I can attest she's very mean on the volleyball court, too. She's
010phenomenal player. Thank you. Good luck with your uh your council meetings. >> Thank you so much. Okay, Heather, welcome. You're up. And can you also give a the ROM's highlights also? >> Yeah. Thank you. >> All right. Royal Oak Middle School has fully embraced its schoolwide levelup theme this year with a strong focus on enhancing school culture and st student engagement. They're pleased to report that our initial intentional efforts are already yielding measurable results. Compared to the same period last year, our schoolwide attendance has increased from 95.5% to 96.04%. This positive trend is a direct reflection of new strategies including weekly and monthly attendance incentives as well as intentional engagement activities designed to foster a cohesive community. A primary example of this cultural shift was our first schoolwide rally, a high a highly successful event
011designed to build excitement and crossgrade collaboration. The rally featured a spirited competition between seventh grade and eighth grade students and teachers across a variety of fun games and chants. This was a genuine community effort. The associated student body led direct direction and activity support. The broadcast journalism class managed the music and the school band provided live energy. It was a unifying and spirited way to launch the school year. Our next event, a superheroes themed rally, is scheduled for November 14th. We eagerly anticipate continuing this momentum and seeing the positive impact on our Roadrunner community throughout the remainder of the year. In addition to Royal Oak's success in boosting student engagement, the entire Royal Oak staff has committed to leveling up academics. This effort is a twofold. A recommmitment to instructional excellence and the establishment of
012a targeted student support system for instructional recoloration. Our staff is undergoing a focused recalibration, sorry, to ensure the consistent application of tier one instructional best practices across the school. This effort emphasizes AVID instructional practices and reinforces a schoolwide focus on literary across all content areas, building essential reading, writing, and critical thinking skills for every student. In addition, great efforts are being made to ensure a formalized datadriven process for targeting student support. Following each I Ready screening period, students demonstrating academic challenges are given additional diagnostic assessments. This leads to the formation of a collaborative study which means to identify precise necessary supports such as dedication intervention focused study skills or weekly checks in check-ins with counselors by basing support decisions on concrete data. The interventions are more targeted to individual student needs ensuring gaps are quickly
013addressed. These focused strategies have already yield significant results. At the close of the first grading period, we observed a dramatic decrease in the number of students placed on the academic at risk list. For eighth graders, the percentage of students identified as at risk decreased from 12.5% last year to 7.8% this year, representing a nearly 5% point reduction. And for seventh graders, the grade level also demonstrated strong improvement, achieving a nearly 2% reduction in the number of the students on the at risk list. The Royal Oak staff is extremely motivated by these early indicators of student success and looks forward to continuing to drive academic growth throughout the year. And as for Charter Oak, I will get to that right now. All right. The choir department kicked off the start of their year with a successful
014first concert where they showcased many pieces such as some from The Nightmare Before Christmas movie, engaging both students and viewers. The first grading period closed on September 26th with parent conferences falling on October 6th during the day, which allowed students and parents to communicate with teachers. The annual Oak Tree Challenge event began with a rainy start, but ultimately ended with a great turnout, continuing to engage the community in supporting one another. Our Charter Oak football team is on a roll and the varsity football team has won three games back toback with each ro resulting in a shutout. Our most recent home football game was the homecoming game where we announced senior Kayla Lambert as the homecoming queen and resulted in a 42 to zero win. Along with football, other sports such as cross country, tennis,
015water polo are closing their seasons and preparing to work their way to league finals in CIF. Volleyball also closed their senior night out with a successful win against Roland and the drama department is working diligently to perform for their November shows where they will be performing Holiday in. And as for another academic point, many colleges have come to visit our campus where Miss Vasquez has been in contact with colleges such as APU, USC, GCU, and Cal Baptist in order to communicate with students about their programs and more. And the event even included a University of Leverne on the site admissions process. >> Thank you, ma'am. Now is a good time for those in the audience who are recognized. If you want to go ahead and get out, you're more than welcome to. Uh item 10,
016RO report, Mr. Rose. Oh, what? Oh, we'll wait till you leave though if you want to. All right, Mr. Rose, RO report. >> Thank you, Mr. President. as I don't have a report at this time because our next meeting is next Thursday. So the next board meeting Well, leave it right now. I I have the next meeting next week. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. That'll take us to item 11, superintendent report. Dr. >> Thank you, Mr. Peterson. Uh good evening. Happy Thursday, everyone. Happy bosses day to our board. Uh the four five best bosses that I know of. So, just want to share that with you guys. Um, yeah, really just really incredible things that are happening uh at work and in progress in our school district. Uh, we've talked a great
017deal about collaboration in our school district and we know collaboration is a key driver to improving student outcomes. And so, uh, just really thankful and grateful for the work that uh has occurred under leadership of uh, Dr. Mustafa and the educational services team. We've had every single elementary grade team uh teacher come together, work together, collaborate around really important critical topics in our school district. We've begun this work with our secondary collaborative teams as well. And uh this work will continue on through the course of the school year. So uh again, proud of all the incredible work that's happening amongst our professional work groups. I've shared with this board in uh in last couple months around just the ongoing work of addressing uh our our fiscal challenges ahead. And so as a reminder to this
018board um we have some challenges due to uh declining enrollment, inflation, rising costs. We have threats to our funding that are happening uh nationally and that's being impacted potentially here. And so as we see these uh impacts across districts in California, it's not immune to us. we're not immune to that as well here in Charter Unified. And so we need to address nearly $3 million in reductions in the next two years. And so we have some work ahead and I'm super uh just proud of the work that we've begun. And we've had Dr. Mustafa and Mr. Joyce Rakula facilitate a district-wide budget advisory committee. And they've convened together last week and they they have some ensuing meetings ahead. And the purpose of this group is to make sure that they have shared learning and that
019they're providing feedback and input on understanding what our district values might be and what those priorities are going to be so that we can be well informed and how we might be able to address those budget reductions. So, more news ahead. We'll share that progress as we hear more from that team. Uh, a couple more items. Uh our East San Gabriel Valley SULPA special education local plan area is hosting their annual arts festival on Monday, October 27 right here at Royal Oak Middle School. And Royal Oak's going to have um scores of school buses uh that are transporting kids that participate, students with disabilities across our SULPA onto one campus and a great opportunity for them to showcase their artwork, their accomplishments, and also to have some immersive experiences for them to grow as young
020educators or young students as well. Lastly, um we heard great news. uh Rebecca Portoi under her direction, the Charter Choir has been invited to uh perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City and uh in the spring of 2026. So, super excited about that. And that concludes my report, Mr. President. >> Thank you, sir. That'll take us to presentations. Dr. Kim. >> Okay. I'm going to invite Dr. Mustafa to the podium to present on our annual math placement policy. This is a requirement by law and I will turn it over to her to present why we're doing this along with the ensuing data. >> Thank you, Dr. Kim. Uh board president Peterson, Vice President Dr. Aguilar, board of trustees, executive cabinet, and community members. Um I'm going to present our 9th grade math placement um
021or policy. Uh back in 2015, the California Mathematics Placement Act was established and it was established to really um provide clear expectations and datadriven student placement for 9th grade students. Um this eliminates any subjective uh feedback from from teachers, but really is an objective and academic measures of placing students in ninth grade math. So, per our board policy, we do an annual analysis of our nth grade students and where they are placed. Um, we talk about the criteria of how students are placed and then our students have an an option or an opportunity to be re-evaluated outside of the criteria if they feel that they've been misplaced. So at the um when our students enter in from ninth to ninth grade, their placement is based off of the end of course grade in eighth grade
022coming into their freshman year as well as our I Ready diagnostic and sometimes we'll use our CASP scores as well again. They also have an opportunity to be re-evaluated. So our current students for the year this year are nth grade students we have a total of 307 freshmen and of the 307 freshmen 197 of those students are in math 1 which makes up 67% of our freshman population. 86 of our freshmen are in math 2 which is comprised of 28%. 11 students are in math 1A. Nine are in intro uh math one and four of them are in functional math which is our mods severe. And that concludes our presentation >> questions ma'am. >> Uh hi can you explain the difference between math 1A and intro to math one? So math 1A is like standard
023or old school like algebra and intro is a bit like the eighth grade math. >> Is math 1A a through G? >> It is. >> Okay. >> Any further questions? >> I'm trying to understand the our goal is to see the student to move into math one. with math two. I'm trying to understand we are we looking at the number of student enrollment each department and then work work their way up to math one and two >> or this is just to get them up to the level where they already prepare to take math at a high school level. >> So all of our freshman coming in are placed into a math class. This is to evaluate and analyze where they're placed. So most of our students, incoming freshmen, are placed in math one based
024on their academic level. Math two is the higher math for our freshman class. >> Gotcha. Thank you. >> Any further questions? >> No. Thank you, doctor. >> Thank you. >> All right, we'll move on to public comments. First up, Lacy Bentine. Okay. Hi everyone. My name is Lacy Bontaine. My brother and sister are students of Charter Oak Unified School District where they weren't given the proper placement or services necessary for them to succeed in their education which in turn caused years of constant worry and stress for everyone in my family. It took the help of an attorney to get them what they needed and it not only improved their abilities at school but have helped them thrive outside of school as well which we should all agree is what every child is owed when they
025attend any school. Please do better for all children so kids now and in the future can leave school very capable to take on the world and succeed in it. Thank you. >> Thank you ma'am. Michael Bentine. >> Hi, Michael. >> Uh, I'm here to reiterate the issues we've had personally with the special education department, in particular, the the head of the program. We really need things to change so our kids and all kids with special needs and IEPs get the services they need and deserve. It has affected my family tremendously and it's time for change. Please help our children. >> Thank you, sir. Darlene Maddox. >> My name is Darlene Maddox. I live within Charter Oak Unified School District. My son, Dominic, attends Royal Oak. He's in the eighth grade. He is qualified for special
026education and has an IEP. He has all specialized academic instruction classes. Ever since Dominic entered junior high, he has had nothing but problems. He's not getting an appropriate education at the junior high. He's in the eighth grade and he is understanding nothing. He has an IEP but is not being taught at an individual level. I share the butane's concerns about how special education is working in our district because it is not. Teresa Bunting. >> Hello, my name is Teresa Bunt. I will continue to come to every board meeting until my issues are resolved. The leadership in the special education is very flawed and does not allow for all kids to thrive. I, like any parent, want my child to be capable of taking on the world after high school, which is what every child who
027attends school is owed. I'm I'm here to advocate for all families so no one has to go through what we did. Thank you. >> Thank you, ma'am. >> Mr. Portillo, >> thank you for your work. I'm here to er irirdiate what I was speaking about on the last meeting 91825. Thank you, Dr. Bond, for your quick response to my request for information at the last governing board meeting. Your email states the district's duty to maintain confidential confidentiality in personnel file. I understand that it is also the duty of any person, agency administrators, most importantly each public elected governing board member to ensure that all employees are held accountable when tax dollars are wrongly paid and those employees and that the money wrongly paid is recovered and returned to the taxpayer. Although the district has stated
028the district considers this matter closed, I do not consider this matter close. I will continue. Come on. So, let me restate. Got a minute. The act of employees in abandoning assigned workplace and falsifying payroll or felony counts and conspiring to commit grand theft and felony counts of grand theft under the California Penal Code 182A 1 and Penal Code 487A. The act of of abandoning contractual workplace assigned involved planning, sophistication, and professionalism and caused significant financial damage. This was a brazen act of criminality committed by certificated employees of the Charter Oak Unified School District, an agency that depends on public trust funding. stealing from venerated public school systems, steals from the taxpayers, and the hundreds of students that were entitled to and denied full instructional minutes. It is the responsibility of a governing board member and
029administrators to ensure that those who steal from public institutions are held completely accountable. Accountability is time. It does not matter if it was 20 years ago. The definition of fraud is that the purpose of fraud is to be secretive. So when it's found out and you learn about it, you need to take appropriate action. This will not stop. Thank you. [Applause] >> All right. Item 14,formational. Dr. Kim. >> Yeah, we uh present this information to the board every year. And I'm going to turn it over to Miss Brford, our CBO, to present on our annual accounting and developer fees. Miss Brford. >> Thank you, Dr. King. Good evening, board of trustees. So, thisformational item is um a requirement pursuant to government code section 660006 where the district is required to report the annual accounting of
030developer fees in fund 25 for the 2425 fiscal year. So what we're looking at is a summary overview of the activities in the developer fee fund. We started out with a beginning fund balance of 2.3 million and we received developer fees revenues of 96,000 interest earned of 93,000 fair value of investments of 27,000 and we also had a small amount of expenditures of $6,565 and we closed the fiscal year at June 3025 with $2.5 million in reserves. Any questions? I'd be happy to answer those. >> These are restricted funds. Correct. >> Correct. >> And what is the restriction? >> Um, so the the developer fee fund is for the use of the those funds is really for growth in student enrollment. And so the fund has been around for a very long time. And what
031it does is to help the district with classroom needs or technology, infrastructure, furniture. when we bring in additional students from especially from development in the boundaries and so it's been restricted for those purposes. Um since the declining enrollment we don't you don't see much use of these funds across districts. However, with the TK trans um we were able to or can use some of those funds to accommodate the additional TK students. Any other questions? Mr. Rose, thank you. I know I know there's a expenditure of 6,55. What is that? Do you know where we spent on? >> Uh, I believe that is for the recent um developer fees study that we just conducted and paid the consultants. So, and there are times when we'll also have reimbursements back to develop developers who've changed their minds
032on following through with their projects. But this year we actually did a developer fee study that we just recently increased the fees and so we paid the consultant out of the fund. >> So when a developer develops a project the in the planning stage say they want 60 houses we give them hey this is how much it's going to be they pay the city whatever it is >> right. So they start with the city and depends on the square footage and >> then then if it goes down to 40 houses it gets reduced. >> So therefore the funding would have to be re reimbursed. >> Correct. So we'd reimburse or if they totally changed their mind about doing the projects then yes we're obligated to reimbursing them back those fees. >> Thank you ma'am. >>
033You're welcome. >> Any further? No. >> All right. Thank you. >> You're welcome. All right. Next item is a discussion on board policy revision first reading of board bylaw 6158 of independent study. Can I get don't any discussion on that? Mr. Rose, thank you. I have a question about um a paragraph was added to the board policy. Okay. It says that when student is placed on a short-term independent study in missing a single day work provided will be assigned to be completed on the following Saturday as a Saturday school assignment for intended recruitment. My question is how do you what the definition of short-term independent study? What do you mean by short-term? >> I'll turn it over to Dr. Mustafa to give some uh explanation to our revisions on our independent study. >> Short-term can
034be short-term independent study can be at one day absence whereas previously it was three days or more. I I get that is placed on the short-term independent study placem I thought you you could determine student only two weeks of studies and then return to regular classroom that's shortterm maybe >> so legislation has changed where previously yes shortterm was when they were offsite for multiple days now it is one day is considered short can be short-term independent study So this helps us recoup ADA for those absences. >> Okay, got >> just to follow up on that and for that one day they the student has to show that they did work >> 50% correct that is accurate. I mean the short day I mean short-term independent one day it doesn't make sense all together but it's
035what it is what it is right. >> Yeah I think it's the it's the state trying to help us out a little bit in in the recovery of the ADA um to help and also to hold the kids accountable to uh have them do work when they're absent. postcoid absences has been heightened. It's a statewide issue and so this is the way that the state is helping districts when a student is absent one day. That's all. All right. That'll take us to action items 16A. Can I get a motion? >> I'll make the motion. >> All right. Uh that actually it's A1 K12 data sharing and servicing services partnership agreement with the Foundation for California Community Colleges. Is there any Can I get a second? >> Any discussion? Mr. Rose, >> I have a couple
036questions. I'm concerned about the data sharing. one of them and I have it and in fees and payments services the two question I'm going to ask each one back to dated sharing this is for this for senior oie when they join the organization >> that is correct >> okay perfect okay now it says here under the contract the LAA which is shut agreed to provide centralized upload of education records from a local student information system which is SIS into the California college and websites. My question is is it secure that that they know what they're doing the California college websites >> correct? We verified that. >> Yep. Then I didn't see anything else here. If the student graduated, what happened to Lora? >> If I may just uh talk big picture about this this initiative,
037this is actually going to become a state requirement, I believe, starting January 1st, 2026 where all school districts in California will need to have a shared agreement with the California colleges.edu software and program. And essentially what this data sharing which is going to be secured under secured obviously if it's coming from the state there's going to be some protocols strict protocols in that data sharing process that will happen through our um already um already approved or um responsive cowpads process and what the data that's being shared is going to be through students their academic performance along with their career and college interests and designing matches between what students are aiming for post-secondary wise with the goal and if you've read some recent news around um Governor Nome, they've enacted a um guaranteed admissions program to
038the CSUs and the means by which they're able to capture whether kids are qualified will be through the California colleges.edu program. So, it is super exciting. We are getting a step ahead behind this and our next work is to see how might we be able to um have some even earlier uh conversations with the CSU to get some of our kids guaranteed admissions. I understand this. I do. And I my question is education I'm sorry my question is what the name the company um organization um college >> I'm sorry what the college guy uh I'm sorry where am I okay my question is California community college a foundation of for California Community College is a 501 or nonprofit organization. How did that be related to education when dealing with um data sharing? I mean, it
039had nothing to do with even though the title was foundation of California Community Colleges. I I was wondering who's handling the data sharing because if that a nonprofit organization is not an educational institution is nonprofit organization anybody can work for them right and be secretary to handle data I'm just trying to maintain student confidentiality that's what I'm looking at so I want to make clear whether the data sharing can protect student information >> absolutely I mean that's that's part of the agreements that we have in place is to ensure that you know security is of high priority. Uh we do have existing systems that we have that do we do share student information. Example our student information system is a data sharing site where we uh have information about our students that is captured through
040our Aries portal. Uh it is protected. It is something that we work through in our agreements to make sure that they follow all protocols and um that that's essentially that's it's guaranteed in terms of um it's a guaranteer in terms of what's reflected in the contract. Yeah, I'm glad I asked that question because we're dealing with educational privacy act whatever that is and now now with the data sharing to be shared with the nonprofit or organization that's my concern that is my concern I have a question is that automatic I mean all senior all the seniors will automatically be under uh the foundation >> whether they like it or not. Um I'm staffing. >> Yes. >> So student don't have a choice, right? >> No, it's our obligation to share the the data >> per
041the state. >> No, I'm talking about the student that want to go to college or not. Every student qualifi I'm not the way all the seniors qualify for the foundation. It's to have every student have equitable access for post-secary education >> like CSU and UC with data sharing. I'm still at it. I'm going to make clear protecting students rights privacy. Once the D once the foundation received the data of the SIS it and the student will let's say the student work with the people in the under in the foundation and then they got into UCLA then what happened they they their name dropped off from this from the foundation I'm not certain about Um so the data what it does is the the the program itself uh is something that kids or students will enter
042their career interest. They have career aptitudes. They have college interests. They'll input data that they they've in they they volunteer input around what their interests might be. And so what the program does is try to connect some matches like here are some schools you might be interested in. Here are some careers that you might be interested in. And so this data sharing component really involves our grades. And so what they're hoping to capture is that if we have these grades and we know what colleges they might be interested in California and we have some actual careers or actual majors that might connect they may be connected in it's to try to create that match for our particular students instead of what you often sign find oftentimes see in data is that kids will either not
043apply to the schools or continue on and metriculating to the colleges because of this gap in either um concerns about admittance concerns about uh applying even um etc. So I understand this I don't know following me I'm talking about the data sharing itself the student enrolled the foundation when the student enroll in UCLA the that the information and data share stop and being removed from server at under the foundation. >> So Mr. Rose, you're asking if the information is purged from their system. So, it's no >> once they enroll if they completed their um goals under the foundation. Yes. >> That I don't know and we can certainly look into that. >> Well, because it's on not under contract at all. I mean what what the once the student enroll let's say UCLA what happened
044to the data sharing the foundation going to keep the information for other purposes like third party advertisement now I I brought that up I get phone call every day spam phone call every day and I work really hard to get that out of the system is hard I do want the information that the foundation has. Once a student in juniors LA, there's no need for the foundation to keep the information in the system. They should be discard and remove, but there's nothing in the contract to say what to do with the data once the student enrolled at UCLA, USC, etc. >> We most certainly can inquire about that. It's a good question. Yeah, but we're deal we're dealing with the contract tonight. I have issue with that. That's my issue. The other issue is fee
045and payment services and the now this is for free. I believe that's for free under the foundation because the foundation receive statement funds. However, it says here in the event that funding from the state of California is not sustaining in future years, the party understand which us in both eyes actually that the foundation may access and charge the fees for services provided to the LEA. So my question is if that if that is to occur, do you know what the fees would be? >> I do not. So, um I mean you we know our budget is not stable of Sacramento is not stable. We don't even know what it look like next year. So, I'm concerned about this. >> Mr. Rose, how about if we do that? How about how about we have staff get
046answers to your questions and bring this back at another uh meeting? >> Yeah, I would like to table it. I would like to table this motion. >> Okay, >> I'll second that. Okay, so we'll go ahead and table it and guide >> I would like to vote on table. >> You would like to Oh, we need to vote on tableing. Okay, let's vote on tableling it. Okay, Dr. Agler, >> yes. >> Miss Magguire, >> no. >> Mr. Rose, >> yes. >> And I'm a yes. So, we'll table it till uh staff brings it back. That'll take us to the state seal of civil uh civic engagement, Chro High School. And can I get a motion? Bring that forward, please. >> I'll make the motion. >> Can I get a second? >> I'll second. Mr. Peterson,
047>> Dr. Kim, would you like to give some background on this? >> Yeah. You know, I'm gonna actually invite Dr. Mustafa to give some background but um just some context with this um this is criteria that is uh mirroring the state criteria that we're bringing to your attention and some uh work that's been accomplished through the sites and Dr. Mustaf you can speak to this. >> Absolutely. Thank you Dr. Kim. I'm pleased to recognize the important work that our high school uh teachers in the social science department have taken really the initiative to expand our the opportunities for our students. Currently our district um offers the state seal of biiter biiteracy which acknowledges seniors who are uh demonstrate proficiency in a second language. Uh this year our high school teachers are taking the meaningful step
048forward to develop local evidence to meet the state criteria uh for the state seal civic engagement which recognizes students who actively participate in and contribute to their communities. So, I'm going to welcome actually to the podium uh Roger Lehi and Christina Johnson to kind of share the process um because they've been the one to initiate this work and really it's for our students. So, it's and it's an exciting opportunity for our students to have. >> Yeah. I can talk louder. Um, that Charter Oak is on the way to becoming uh a state seal civic engagement district, which is a fantastic way to celebrate uh student achievement and uh excellence in civic education. Um, we'd like to share a little bit about the process, what we've gone through. um we've a been able to capture the
049opportunity to offer this to the overwhelming majority uh actually the entire student population but particularly through some of the criteria has become more widespread than we once thought it could be. Um we began the actual process this last year. We were hoping actually to complete it at the end of last school year but um we didn't quite meet that goal. I think we wanted to do our due diligence. uh we established uh a committee of teachers from other uh content areas, other programs so we could uh further discuss and make sure we could make this inclusive as possible. The state criteria is very clear. They want this to be accessible for all populations and we went to great lengths to make sure we could ensure that. Um so as we went through that, one of
050the I think redeeming parts the state put in is to let the local education agency be able to develop criteria that meets their communities. And I think that's why we wanted to take the extra steps to make sure we're doing it the best as as we could. So, um, actually to highlight the senior symposium which has really made this a wide capture for all students. Um, I'll let Christina kind of explain some of that what's been going on in that process. >> Again, thank you so much for having us. Um, we started the senior symposium three years ago. We're very proud of the work with all of our team and all of our students. And I know some of you have seen it. If you haven't, it's a cross-curricular project. Um it focuses on economics,
051civics and English classes. Um and yeah, we just wanted to promote student growth. Um capture 21st century learning and really focus on the skill-based for all students. Thank you. >> Thank you both Roger and Christina for your hard work and leading this for our students. Much appreciated. >> Any questions? >> Miss Magguire? Um, so I think that this is a wonderful idea. Um, and then the senior symposium is fantastic. I really enjoy attending it. Um, I reviewed uh our district requirements for this seal and I was curious about uh possibly adding a community service component. I know the ID students have it. Um, but I think it might be a really great opportunity for our students to uh participate civically in our own community. um similar to like what the AVID program has to do.
052So I would I would be interested in hearing um >> that >> if I could speak to that real quick. So I think that um is a wonderful suggestion. I also think that a pathway for some of our other student populations to make sure they can have this opportunity as well. So IB is a perfect example. If you're a full diploma candidate, you wouldn't come through the senior symposium. However, your cash your service hours become that they meet that criteria within the state requirements as well. So I think that's where we're where we took the time to make sure that this could be as widespread and accessible to all student populations regardless of schedule program and things of that nature. So um if someone wanted to do an addition for sure, but if we were
053to mandate a community service that would kind of exceed the standards of the state, I think we want to stay within that. It is certainly a viable option uh as an alternative or in addition to for other programs as well though. So that is certainly embraced. Um, but I don't know if we'd be able to mandate it within the criteria the state set forward. >> I think we can we can exceed. We have to meet the state, but we are permitted as a district to exceed. And I wouldn't think something like super restrictive, but like 10 hours during your senior year or something like that just to get students uh more involved in the community. And it it can't hurt, you know, uh, >> for sure. And so for example um within civics like my
054participation portfolio offers that opportunity for service hours to count towards my class specifically but we could actually double dip that as well. The one thing I think we were very concerned about is making sure that the state is very clear in the opening they want this to be as accessible to as many students as possible. So we went um I think we had a lot of discussion internally within our committee to make sure we don't we need to have standards 100% but we don't want to get to a place where maybe we're excluding people because of whatever particular circumstances going on in their own homes and things of that nature. So um we'll defer to the board on that but just a little back insight I think to what our process was. >> Thank you.
055Um, yeah, also I think it's great to be able to recognize students for their amazing accomplishments and to even promote them obviously if they can receive a seal on their diploma. I'm sure many more students would be interested in continuing to engage civically, which is really cool. So, kind of echoing uh Mrs. Magcguire's, you know, kind of like if it's possible to have like an andor type of thing, right? These are options as I think you guys described, that would be really cool. Uh, I had a little bit of a question on the fourth criteria that comes down. So, the state criteria is to demonstrate civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions through self-reflection. Um, I was kind of curious what that term self-reflection really means or what would be some examples of how a student would
056demonstrate that through a self-reflection. >> Actually, we just did one. Um so literally this past week in all the English classes all the work we've been doing which we call like phase one right now kind of like the foundation of the project students are asked about their experience to reflect upon their um their experience as well as from like an individual standpoint but also from their group or team. Um and so we go back over that. We ask questions. We follow through just to make sure that all students are taken care of and accounted for. um we plan to do another one at the end of the semester as well as um at the start of you know second semester and then we have our large reflection at the end of the year. >> Okay.
057And so in terms of a reflection is that if I'm kind of understanding is that a a reflection in the sense of or they're reflecting on their performance or their execution of a certain project or >> Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. >> Yeah. on their own growth through the process as well as making connections because as we go through different for we can only speak for the senior symposium at this point right um so within that though we're examining data we are um conducting interviews like we are constantly uh expanding their I think going back to like 21st century skills and what their exposure is so we want them constantly reflect on their personal experience but also relate relative to their their subject their issue they've selected >> so >> okay so so the main takeaway
058though would at the conclusion of the project which they are exhibiting through the senior symposium here that experience imped them specifically things like that. Okay, cool. Um, as I kind of read the specific criteria listed I in my opinion it kind of seems similar to the criteria under number three in terms of kind of describing the project itself. Um, so I thought maybe that could be a way to kind of maybe words smmith a little bit, but in terms of really kind of getting to the spirit, I think of that criteria to make sure that it is some kind of product that they're producing that is separate from their senior project, but that is about the reflection on themselves, that kind of thing. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Is the goal to have every senior involved
059in this? >> Yes, literally every senior. So whether they're in full IB or if they're in just CP, ECON or civics, then all students have the opportunity to do it and that's why it was written like that. >> What a coincidence. We have a senior here, Heather. >> Would you like to give some opinion on that? >> Yes, I think this is a great idea. As somebody who's very inclined in um interest for historical classes such as civics and econ, I think this is a great idea and I would be very interested in participating in this. I just had one question where it says mastery of civics in US California government. What exactly is mastery? What is the like limitations for that or criteria? >> I believe in what we've submitted we actually have great
060criteria that's going to kind of match with that. Um by the way uh going back to stands we exceeded like so we gathered already existing uh districts that have already employed this and um we haven't made made it uh overly difficult but we certainly raised the bar compared to many of the other districts we've seen as well. So, uh, mastery might be strong language, but we're using a grade criteria to demonstrate the proficiency that is needed and through civics, the US history as well. So, >> and would the civic issue have to be in somewhere specific or would it be anywhere in the world? >> Anywhere in the world. >> Right. Yes, ma'am. >> Okay, I'm back. Please, please, because I think this is such a great idea, but the way it's presented is everyone
061gets the prize, right? >> Opportunity. >> But I know as a parent of of your classes that some kids did things like volunteered at polling places or they volunteered at the school board or or at Glendor, right? And so, um I think and and we have like uh what is the the turkey operation gobble? uh which is an opportunity for students to participate in the community. Um really big community opportunities, right? Um that don't take a lot of time from students. So when we're thinking of something like a state seal of civic engagement, I would think something that they would do um in addition to their coursework. And so I just feel really strongly that we can set the bar a little higher and get our students to meet meet us there. um because I
062think civic engagement is very important as as we train up young people and um I think this is a wonderful opportunity um for everyone to be able to participate in our our community here. >> I just want to put that out there one more time. >> Mr. President, if I may. >> Yes, sir. >> Um first of all, thank you guys for the hard work at at the school being forward thinking around this introducing this concept. I just want to echo the thoughts of our board members. Um, one of the things that I think we are going to all venture into is this. It's a new opportunity for all of us, right? And so part of that new learning is that we're going to have criteria that's established and the criteria mirrors the state criteria.
063We're not um venturing off of it. I think what we're discussing here are these local evidences which we want to get right. Uh, but part of what I'm probably think is that we'll learn after our first cohort of students what is the right what is the right fit, right? in in including or um engaging in these types of things and modifying perhaps over the next, you know, couple years as to capture the the intent of this uh seal as well as making sure it's accessible yet worthy of accomplishment, right? Not just a sticker that everybody gets. So, um we have I think that opportunity also to be flexible around it in the future. >> Yeah, I think that flexibility is really key. As M. McGuire is pointing out, there's kind of I think in a
064certain sense, I almost read these guidelines not so much as a set of requirements. I mean, that's part of it, but also as a set of um a listing for students to be able to show them what the opportunities really are, right? Because when you have a rubric, then they can understand, oh, here's all my available options. I can choose any of these types of things or I mean multiple within the listing um to satisfy those requirements. So such as you know it could be volunteer service such as we may even want to say on their um students attend a you know city council or county board or school board you make public comment or something like that and have that documented or something you know that like all of these are great ways for
065to encourage young populations or anybody for that matter um to be civically engaged. So I think that's kind of cool. I think it's an opportunity to have a wide variety of of options for the students. Yeah, >> Heather should be able to, you know, record her volunteerism here, right? Right, Heather? >> This is very civically engaged. I think I would agree with that >> for sure. >> Well, again, I want to Oh, Mr. Rose, I want to again thank Mr. Lehi and Miss Johnson for their time, but I want you to ask your questions. No, please. I want to I want to I want to ask question about what require have said about um aim high or something. My concern is that not every student becomes a leader. Not every student become a leader. You
066going to have leader and followers. So the project I'm asking the question be small and big. It doesn't matter as long they involve in civic duties, right? Project could be small and big. doesn't have to be real big project like um she's here with the board. I want to make sure the student who are the follower can have that experience may not want to do the beat project but does something for the community that's okay right okay that's >> the local education right I mean we we we have the ability to know what's best for our community and that's how the state kind of put it out there and designed it which I think is right so yeah these are all things that could be acceptable or doable >> okay thank So after this year,
067after your evaluation, there could be modifications to where you're at and how you want to do it, right? >> Well, we should all be reflecting, right? Should never be complacent on anything. Always examine if we can improve something and do it better. Absolutely. >> And just like our project, every year we've adapted it, right, to make it better and to make it more student driven and whatnot. So taking feedback and being self-reflecting. So absolutely. >> Yeah. Excellent. We'll ask staff to uh take back the considerations here that you guys have brought up >> and see how we might be able to include that in part of the process. >> Excellent. So, as a point of clarity for me, Dr. Kim, um the action that we would take essentially uh allows this board and district to
068adopt the state guidelines. Um the specific requirements that are local are not specifically required to have board approval. It's the whether we accept the state guidelines. >> That's correct. That way, should there be a modification in the future that is again fits the needs of the community, we don't have to change the evidence every year. We're just establishing our criteria matches the state criteria. >> Questions? >> No. >> Stephanie and Roger, thank you for all you do for the kids and what you continue to do. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you both. >> All right. So, with that being said, we'll go ahead and take uh call for the vote. Dr. >> Oh, Heather, you got a question. I'm sorry. >> Oh, we can take a vote from you. >> Uh, yes. >> Yes.
069Dr. Agler? >> Yes. >> M. Magcguire? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rose? >> Yes. >> And I'm a yes. Motion passes 40 with our student rep in the firm. Okay. >> She voted to me. She voted. Okay. >> You vote. That takes us to uh our consent calendar. And we do have a card. Mr. Portillio. My writing's difficult to read. Um this item inappa fantastic. This is cutting edge. It's a booming industry. I read a little bit on what type of services they provide. I'm currently studying this technology. I actually got into this technology by demand from my employer ESRI back in in Redlands. So, currently, I also want to say right off the bat, from what I can understand, what you're receiving for $9,000, that's dirt cheap. Uh, I hope you get everything you need.
070But let me rattle some things off for you right now. Drone Deploy, Pix 4D, Popular Air, Keyspray, Fly Guys, ESRI, uh, Precision, Hawk, Flybase Labs, AR, GIS, Maps. So, in 98, I had to start in GPS, GIS, fleet management. It was all very early. And then I bought my first drone in 2013. It's a dinosaur. Because of regulations, I stopped uh FAA 107 part A. This is a such a robust industry that is in is in in its infancy that under this contract who's going to monitor the vendor because if there's any way you can have an educator or somebody who develops you watch what these people are going to be doing, you're going to be fascinated. and for what you're doing now or or what you're contracting to do is minuscule. When I see
071that right there already, you'll have the base that you can have um I hate saying this RTKN uh observance where you can have be able to deploy deploy an automatic drone when an incident happens on demand, fly the perimeter or check out the incident. It could be communicated completely if you're in cooperation with the local law enforcement. Administrators can see what's occurring in an instant. That's what your application could be. But you need to understand this is such a burgeoning burgeoning um work that drone deploy one of the global leaders in this technology and yes Amazon if you're under 24 years old they will pay for people under that age to get their 4017b certificate to be a remote pilot. That's what I'm working on right now. um because they already know they do not
072have enough people for what they see that's coming out. This is very very exciting. So you should have someone look over as much as they can as they develop this and it'll push that person to look even closer. And I suggest you have you have other committees um engagement that was talked about plus um um culture. You get need to get a good group of teachers to look into these burgeoning technologies. It's very exciting. I know it's a direct application, but you're going to be astonished of what you're buying. >> Thank you, Mr. Forio. >> Yeah. I'll take us to our consent calendar. Does anybody want anything pulled? >> What is that? Um 12 A8. Is that 12? No. 17. The 17 >> 17 A >> 17 A number eight budget revision and transfer. >>
073All right. Can I get a motion to pass all items under consent except for item 17A8? >> I'll make the motion. >> Can I get a second? >> I'll second. >> Okay. Any discussion? I'll call for the vote. Heather, >> I approve. >> Dragler, >> yes. >> M. McGuire, >> yes. >> Mr. Rose, >> yes. >> I'm also Yes. Motion passes 40 with the student rep and affirmative. That'll take us to item 17 A8, pledge revisions and transfers. I get a motion pull that forward. >> I got a second. >> I'll second. >> Okay. Discussion, >> Mr. Rose. Thank you. I have a I'm I saw the uh the form fill out and I'm concerned about the money the the budget itself. I know this this um the impact is huge by moving around. I
074want to make sure that you know why you know why we move the money from one the other. >> Yes. So these are um carryover funds after closing the books. We do have a lot of categorical carryovers and so we're trying to get these revisions in the system before December so the sites can see what they have and be able to track their spending. Usually we wait until December for the first interim but we're trying to help the sites with their carryovers. So we're not necessarily moving money. We're adding carryover fund balances so they're able to spend those. >> So it seemed like we're trying to balance as much as we can. We don't have any flexibility with with the financial we have. Repeat that again. >> I mean, you have to keep track of
075financial if tight and you have to if there needs money in that category, you got to find a way to move the money over. >> Correct. And so again, those are carryover. They're fund balances. So we are putting them in places with those. Yes. >> Okay. I got it. Thank you. >> Okay. I'll go ahead and call for the vote. >> Heather, >> yes. >> Dr. Agler, >> yes. >> Miss Magguire, >> yes. >> Mr. Rose, >> yes. >> And I'm a yes. Motion passes 40 with the student rep in the affirm, which will take us to board comments. Dr. Aguar. >> Great. Thank you, Mr. Peterson. Um, wonderful hearing in our student rep report today so many of the uh accomplishments of our various sports teams. It's been a really strong start to the
076fall season uh for the high school. Um obviously again we mentioned the football team is doing incredibly well. The volleyball teams, so many of the teams including even beyond the high school, even over at Roms, we've got some sports teams. I know it was ROMs nights tonight. I know our basketball team has been doing fantastically down there at ROMs as well. Um so that's really exciting. I know they have a a winter flag football that they'll be doing upcoming as well. Um so I hope we'll see a lot of students down at ROMs getting involved there as well. Um, and then in the VAPA side of things, um, Dr. Kim, you mentioned that the choir is going to be attending or performing, I should say, at Carnegie Hall, which is an amazing honor. Not only
077will they be performing, which is usually part of a what they call a mass choir, many students from many schools that are performing together in one mass choir, but actually we got invited to feature specifically our advanced choir, and they will sing solely, just themselves, solely. S O L I is kind of a pun actually. Um, yeah, for us music nerds in there. Um, and so that it's okay. That's how my classes go, too. I'm always great. Um, but yeah, that's a that's actually an extra distinction that I know Chart Oak hasn't um had previously, even though we've performed previously at Carnegie Hall. So, that's really cool. I'm thinking about I might have to book a trip to New York to go catch that. Who knows? We'll see. Um, and then uh let's see. the
078band, they actually are kicking off their competitive season this weekend, Saturday, at Baldwin Park High School. That'll be their first competition of the of the fall season. So, it'll be exciting to hopefully uh see them be successful there. And uh and I think that's about it for me. Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. Mr. Magcguire. >> Good evening, everyone. It is October and that means it is a couple of things. things. Um, I'll start with my uh kind of great and kind of sad thing. Um, October is breast cancer awareness month. Uh, and uh, I want to first support all of everyone who is fighting breast cancer and all of our breast cancer survivors. And I also want to call out my cousin Myra's name who did not survive her battle with breast cancer. Um,
079but she is still here in spirit and fights along everyone uh, who is in their battles. Um, also October uh is FAFSA month and this year FAFSA opened the earliest that it ever has since its inception uh due to advocacy of students across the country. Uh so it opened in September for the first time since FAFSA has been a thing. Uh and uh it's actually um simplified. Uh so students who are doing the FAFSA for the very first time should have a much more pleasurable experience than students who did it even three years ago. Um also uh yes congratulations to our choir going to Carnegie Hall. That is amazing. Um and I also want to make sure I shout out uh Charter Oak football for beating Long Beach Jordan High School. Uh this is a
080point of personal privilege. I happen to know the mayor of Long Beach and uh he is my brother and I have let him know every day since the football team destroyed Long Beach Jordan uh high school's football team uh how much they suck. So, um I'm very pleased with our team for doing that. Uh Operation Gobble is on October 23rd uh right here at Charter Oak High School. Uh it's an opportunity for our community to come out and volunteer and help out those in need. Uh, and if you are a community member in need, it's an opportunity to receive uh everything you need for a traditional uh turkey Thanksgiving dinner. Uh, complete with a turkey or a gift card for a turkey. Um, election day, the last day to vote is November 4th. Uh, that's
081a different way to put it because you can vote anytime up until uh November 4th because we all get mail and ballots in our state. Uh so uh that's a great great opportunity for everyone to make sure they civically engage uh in our great state. Uh it is a special election. Uh so it is an election that many people were not expecting. So it's important to make sure that we tell everyone we know to go participate in this election. Um another personal thing, um I have organized my community to be a safe space for Halloween. I knocked on every single door on Cummings Road and got them all to agree to hand out candy this Halloween. So, if you have kids and they need somewhere to go, come visit Cummings Road between uh Coina and
082Cypress. Uh and every door with the exception of three should be handing out candy. Uh lastly, I just want to make sure because we uh tabled the item before I got to get some discussion points out um about the FCC. Um so I just wanted to say that the foundation for California community colleges is actually created to assist um our public colleges in this state with the creation of technology and app software. Uh so there are several applications um one named here to career where you can actually get localized career data um and help you with uh your job search and which careers would be uh the most beneficial or profitable in your local community so that students can actually go to school and return. uh with a degree of value um for their local
083community. Uh so this will be um another instance of those types of apps that the foundation develops. They work solely with our public college systems uh in this state. Um this transition is going to be mandated uh in January of 27. So what would have been or what could happen this year is that we will get funds to help us with that transition this year. That offer is not on the table for next year. It's up in the air depending on the budget. Uh lastly, the ability to participate in a program like this uh can only benefit our students. Uh right now, when you uh apply for college, Heather, I'm sure you know this, you have to match your classes, right? So, uh does this government class count as this thing for the school? Uh
084if you use this particular website, it matches it for you, cutting your college application time uh in less than half. Uh so that is a benefit uh and a benefit of early adoption is that our students will be able to get uh uh pre-approval um and acceptances early acceptances into the California State University system. Um so I just wanted to make sure I said all of those things. I look forward to it coming back onto our agenda because again I believe that our students should have all doors open. If they choose not to go to college, that's fine. But if they want to go to college, then we should do everything in our power to make sure that we don't have unnecessary barriers in place. Uh, with that, I think that concludes everything I need
085to say. Thank you, >> Mr. Rose. >> Thank you. Um, I'm glad I asked a question about the financing and budgets. you know, hearing about the South Patty and Unified School District, they're going to be hole. I think it's about $35 million deficits in there. What is this? Uh the South Patching in Unified, I don't know, it's like millions of dollars. maybe graduating, but stop passing in unified school district. They're in big trouble with the finances and and we I feel that we should not be in that situation as well. We still need to monitor our budget. We still need to watch what we what we spend on what we uh and we use the money to serve our student period. It's all we need to do use that money to serve our student. and
086then we'll wait to see how our Roman number down the line and then see what our budget look like next year. So this is something that I think the board is interested in visual sustainability stay stable and do what we can. The bottom line is the student. Bottom line, the student. Uh then the holidays coming up next month. Uh I'll be out of town November 20th. So I'll be I'll miss the meeting, Mr. President. I won't be here just to let you know. I'll be out of town. But um that I'm looking forward to the next meeting. I think it's board steady section. And I think I'm very happy to, you know, be involved with everything I can to help this district move forward. Thank you, Mr. President. >> Thank you, Mr. Rose. All right.
087Uh, as a public service announcement for the Charter Oak Unified School District, I I want to indicate that the Long Beach Jordan football team, that was your own personal opinion, just in case we have to play them in the playoffs. >> I don't want any I don't want any bulletin board material. I'm sure your your brother appreciates that. >> Um, Nice, nicely done. A lot of good things happening. Uh the volleyball program, uh they took second in league as as I think Heather brought up. Uh they are getting their playoff draw on Saturday. Um and Isis is a phenomenal player, the student rep who's here. She's phenomenal player out there on the court. Um, shout out to the band. It was pouring rain the other day and those guys and ladies are out there marching
088around and Joel's in his shorts and it's like swimming. But, uh, people don't realize how much work the band folks put in. even though they didn't get your joke, but in all reality, those kids out there marching around in the mud with carrying those u uh instruments was it's it's a sight to see when you see how much work they put in. Also, the state seal of civic engagement that Roger and Christina presented. Fantastic. I showed the importance of getting kids involved in their civic duty in the operation gobble. What was that? November 8th, right on Saturday. >> October It's October 23rd. >> Yes. >> Oh, okay. Got to change in my schedule. But, uh, I'd also give a shout out to the our sports medical team. Um, what I didn't know is that they
089take appointments during the day for kids, our our athletes who are injured and rehabbing or getting taped up or whatever. Uh, so they have a QR code and the kids go in there at specific times and and uh they get ready for their their activities. But those kids work hard, too.
