009now last meeting we asked you if you'd be willing to share an essay a winning essay that you wrote for the Sunrise Rotary of Cina is that true yeah remember that now it's now it's your opportunity if you would like to read it to us and if you can go to the podium for us thanks that's great interogation okay imagine you're trying to build a giant puzzle without having a picture on the box that is what important decisions often feel like we want to do the right thing but sometimes we're not sure what that looks like this is where the magic of rotary comes in and it might not be what you think it is let me clear up some misconceptions I had before I did my research like many of you I honestly thought
010the Rotary Club was maybe a lunch club for retired business Executives who write checks for good causes but I couldn't have been more wrong rotary is a Vibrant Community from people of all walks of life teachers healthcare workers young professionals students and yes business executive too they're not just check writers they're Hands-On change makers who roll up their sleeves and get things done but here's what really blew my mind at the heart of rotary's magic is something called the four-way test think of it as a pair of special glasses that help you see the world differently when you put these glasses on you're asking yourself four simple questions before making any decision first is it the truth simple right but how often do we really stop and verify if what we're thinking or saying is
011completely true second is it fair to all concerned this isn't just about being fair to your friends it's about considering everyone who might be affected by your decision third will it bring Good Will and better friendships this question recognized that relationships are the fabric of strong communities fourth will it be beneficial to all concerned this ensures that our actions create positive change not just for some but for everyone involved now here's where it really gets interesting I want you to imagine two versions of yourself the first is what I call the solo Navigator this is the person many of us are today someone who is trying their best to make good choices but is feeling uncertain and isolated the solo Navigator wants to make a difference but often thinks I'm just one person how much
012much of an impact can I really have the second version is the Ripple maker this person has discovered something powerful when you use the four-way test you're never really making decisions alone you're a part of something bigger each choice you make creates ripples that touch others lives in ways you might never see let me show you how this works in real life imagine you're dropping a stone in a Still Pond the first Ripple is is small maybe it's choosing to tell the complete truth in a situation where a small lie could be easier that's your first Ripple but then something magical happens people notice they see how your truthfulness led to better outcomes that's the second Ripple they begin not to trust just your actions but your judgment that's the third Ripple and before you
013know it you've helped create an a community where ethical decision-making is just how we do things here this is what makes rotary different from other service organizations it's not just about doing good deeds it's about transforming how we make decisions in every aspect of our lives and here's the really exciting part this transformation isn't limited to Rotary members anyone can use the four-way test to become a ripple maker rotary has been creating these ripples globally since 1922 breaking down barriers of race religion and social status they've helped nearly eradicate polio worldwide brought clean Waters to communities in need and created educational opportunities for Millions but these huge achievements started with individuals asking those four simple questions before making decisions the magic of rotary isn't in their Global projects or their worldwide Network those those are
014impressive the real magic is in showing us that when we make these decisions through the lens of Truth fairness goodwi and benefit to all we create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond ourselves so yes while I was researching for the speech I found myself thinking where do I submit my application because I realized something powerful we don't need to feel like solo Navigators uncertain about our choices and their impact we can all become Ripple makers confident that our decisions Guided by these four simple questions are creating waves of posit POS change in our communities and Beyond whether you join the rotary club or not I challenge you to try on these special glasses use the four-way test in your decisions for just one week Watch What Happens because the real magic of Rotary
015Club isn't in what they do it's in showing us what we all can become when we make decisions with purpose integrity and care for others the world needs Ripple makers will you be one of them thank you nicely done and a great message thank you congratulations on your win Mr Espinosa thank you also for your commitment to the kids in the schools all right with that being said our student reps oh I'm sorry um yes we have um on that note I was watching the news this past week and I feel like I saw aori on TV she should be on TV were you on the news I was now you must elaborate tell more um I'm in a program it's called black girls film camp and it selects 10 girls across the country to
016direct and write their own film and KTLA um 5 news did um an interview on me about my experience yeah and maybe at the next meeting you can tell us about your experience yeah and with that being said if you two need to leave you're more than welcome to leave as well as those who were awarded some presentations earlier Mr cook you can go thank you for being here have a good night all right we'll move on to the RO report Mr Rose thank you um I had my first meeting last month and I was impressed with the different pathway that you know we had a PR came and show different pathway in different school districts and I I was impressed with the presentation and how active we are with career pathway it's great presentation

018accomplishments in the classrooms and uh doing so appropriately so um wanted to share a really great news so I got a contact from the California Department of Education yesterday and this official shared with me that Arrow High School has been selected as a state model continuation High School great accomplishment um it is uh a very unique and selective process uh I want to give a lot of kudos to Lisa Rosa her entire staff most importantly the students like Logan he just left but um for demonstrating just excellence in their school for accomplishing great work as an alternative setting uh just really proud of their work and we'll have an opportunity to celebrate them together later on in April through an official event so more news to follow with regards to that uh we are um

021us a briefing on uh a couple things it provides us a reminder about our goals as well as an update on where we are with relat as it relates to expenditures on those goals and uh steps moving forward so with that I'm going to turn it over to Dr Mustafa thank you Dr Kim uh Dr Ivan iro director of Adult Ed and CTE will be presenting with me um just as a reminder um our lcap was approved by you the board last June it is a three-year plan and uh this is just simply a midyear review and we do this every year so I'm going to go through and kind of kind of remind us what we're going to do just through this presentation um really the purpose of our midyear review is to assess
022our progress toward the goals outlined in each of our um the our local control accountability plan the lcap um it's to evaluate our effectiveness of the implemented strategies it's to ensure our resources are being used and make adjustments as as needed um we're going to review our four lcap goals and within within each goal we're going to review the summary of action items the expenditures the budget our metrics as well as um the the money spent our budget now the way our data is um looked at is a little tricky so I'm going to kind of remind us of how we're going to look at our data through our midyear review our Baseline data that's in our lcap is from our C California dashboard of the school year 2223 that is our Baseline data that's
023what we started with year one data that we're looking at this year is the California dashboard from 2324 school year in addition to some internal data Okay so Baseline data is from 2223 this year's current data is from last year school year 2324 California dashboard in addition to some internal data and the expenditure data that we're looking at is monies from July 1st of this year through December 31st of what was spent okay okay so goal one is our College and Career Readiness at our schools we are committed to expanding college and career opportunities for all of our students by ensuring high quality teachers top-notch instructional materials supportive learning environments and a broad course of study we're setting students up for Success both in the classroom and Beyond here in Charter Oak we're uh dedicated
024to providing exceptional experiences by focusing on several key actions in goal one we are committed to recruiting and maintaining staff who are highly qualified and also passionate about Student Success we have a comprehensive program in place to support students emotionally so that we have increased counselors we have Educators Benefit new Educators Benefit from the California teacher induction program which provides continuous professional development to help them grow and refine their teaching skills we prioritize equipping our classrooms with modern instructional uh materials as well as technology giving students the tools they need to Excel and we maintain a safe clean and engaging environment for our students we have our intervention teachers to assist with early literacy skills and we to the core of what we believe in is providing professional development so our teachers really have the
025latest and greatest of what is needed for our students a snapshot of our funding as you can see it's a very large number but a lot of this number it's our staff it goes through salaries so you see 35 million is allocated for goal one and you can see about half of that is what's spent because it's half of the Year okay as we look at our metrics we're going to look at two um kind of visuals you have the sprouting tree which will show that our metrics are in progress we don't have the data for it just yet because it will be captured sometime this year or we have the met the sprouted tree the fully grown Charter Oak tree that means the metric has been completed here in goal one you can see
026all of our metrics we have three um all of our um students have their standards aligned instructional materials all of our teachers are fully credentialed they're hired and the facilities are in good repair as seen by our fit report or measured by our fit report these must be completed before school year starts so that we can open up our school year therefore all of our metrics in goal one have been completed I'm going to turn over to Dr IO all right hello everybody so goal number two focuses on academic achievement uh and this is assuring that um for all of our students that uh they are receiving the best instruction possible um by focusing fusing on instruction that's um culturally responsive uh and meets the needs of all of our diverse Learners so as you
027can see from goal number two the summary of key action items here you could see funding is used to support our English language learner program as well as our special education program um we continue to implement our multi-tiered system as of support uh what here we call the charter of Promise um and we also continue to focus on um career Pathways for the high school as well career career exploration for our middle school and um other programs that really help students uh get an idea of what they may want to do in the future and of course providing collaboration time and High um high quality professional development for instructors so as a snapshot uh up to date uh you can see that 18.3 18.1% uh $8.1 million were um allotted here for this fund of
028which to date we currently have about 4.3 expended now something to note here um is that uh we have a lot of incumbrances in here and that's because we do have some contracted services that are are not paid yet as well as um some salaries that are encumbered but won't show until towards the end of the year um as spent if that makes any sense especially when you look at some contracted services that we have out there uh we don't pay those out until at the end of the school year typically um so so we do anticipate this number to increase uh as we get closer to the end of the school year our metrics for goal two you could see that a few of them are in progress including our AP and IB passing
029rates our CTE pathway completion rates our adopted courses study which is an internal um internal measurement and our as well as our local metric uh addressing State Standards on the right though you could see a lot of them are completed um our high school graduation rates College and Career indicator our progress for our English language Learners um I'm not going to name all of them but you could see them all there and the reason why is as Dr Mustafa has mentioned is because they are on our California school dashboard so they are last year's results the 24 last year so if you were to go to the dashboard You' be able to see them there um and that's why we consider those completed because we are a little bit we are one year behind when
030we're reporting this on the lcap goal number three focuses on positive climates uh this is making sure that all of our students feel safe and supported in the classroom and outside of the classroom so you could see here that we also focus on making sure that our students and our parents are both engaged um in in the in the educational process and that um they all their physical and emotional needs are met summary of key action items so here are the focuses of um goal number three um we continue to have uh social emotional learning supports uh that's as proven by uh the supports that we have given to the school sites in the forms of Behavioral intervention AIDS um and our um and other other new um supported staff that have been added last
031year um we do our parent and Community Partnerships that we have uh big Focus here of course is on our extracurricular that we offer to our our students um our athletic programs our Visual and Performing Arts programs and of course Avid is in here and of course big one ensuring school safety so that way our staff and our students feel safe at all times you can see here that we have about $3.7 million that have been allocated to this fund of which about 1.2 have been expended thus far you can see our metrics and goal three uh the only three that are currently in progress and that's because we haven't captured the data yet is our surveys our student parent and our staff surveys which we will do in April the completed ones once again
032are are data that we can find on the California dashbo board our attendance rates chronic absenteeism CTE participation rates Dropout rates and suspension and expulsion rates this last goal goal number four is new to us uh so this goal focuses on the equity multiplier funds that were allocated to arrow and bridges um schools to provide additional support for unduplicated students populations including our social economically disadvantaged students the primary focus of this goal is to decrease suspension rates for for those campuses and increase graduation rates for and also to Target specific subgroups as identified by our California school dashboard data so using uh the the funds for the equity multiplier some of the things that we've been focusing on an arrow and bridges is to continue to provide ongoing professional development for the for the teachers
033on that campus um we have increased online accessibility to online instruction for our our students Arrow Highway by providing Apex a credit recovery system uh they have additional targeted interventions in the form of a math and a science and English um classes uh that are additional to their regular classes to increase credit recovery for those subject matters uh increased Community engagement what that actually looks like is we are focusing on chronic absenteeism at that school site um because that's one area of need uh and so utilizing Justice For Youth um we have um targeted students who aren't showing up to campus to campus and going to their homes and meeting with the parents to try to entice them as Leisa would say to come back to school and that's proven successful with some of the
034programs that Lisa has been able to put on that campus and of course uh continue to provide supplemental supports and materials for the classroom so um the Arrow High School and bridges uh Community Day School received $191,000 which were budgeted this past year and you could see we're about we about halfway through um and spending those funds at 119,000 right now as far as the metrics once again the only one that's currently in progress is the parent survey which we will give an April but all the others are completed for our attendance rate the C scores which are English and language arts scores for that School site the graduation rate chronic absenteeism and suspension rates and that concludes where we are at the midterm of the l cap so um do you have any questions
035for us uh great thank you very much for your presentation I appreciate that um I did have a few questions um looking in at the metrics for goal two and mentioning how some still in progress such as CT pathway completion rate AP and IB passing rates I was wondering if you can give us kind of an idea of what kind of the target rates are that we are anticipating or you know looking forward to so give me one second as I we can tell you what our Baseline Target tet were and where we want to be in 3 years uh based on here we go so for AP and IB uh we started at a baseline for the AP scores uh 47% of our students had passed the AP exam as of 2023 and for
036IB it was 49% 46 or 46% I'm sorry I don't have my glasses um and so for both of those um we hope to increase uh in the average of three years at least by 13% um so but but we and once again we don't have this year's scores yet so we will have that by the end of the year hopefully right and so and just for some clarity for me that means in terms of the population of students at the site in this case at high school um how many of the students will have taken and completed one of these courses that I don't have we don't have that current um data right now but we can definitely find that for you and get that for you so you can see how many students
037are in those classes as far as enrollment which usually tell us uh how many will take the exam typically we have a high percentage of students enrolled in those AP and IB courses that do move forward and take the exam right yeah and then um on the completed side of the same page um we have being met the College and Career ready which is the a through G and CTE or even just looking at just a through G completion rates alone both listed there as completed so again kind of same question if just kind of remind me a little bit of some of those Target rates that we were looking for okay so let's start with the college in career a through GCT our Baseline was 14.4 and 2223 uh we and for the 23
03824 year we are at 21.4% um so we have seen an increase for this first year um so our a through G um we started at a Baseline and and um we actually use Aries data for that it's not actually that one's not College and Career ready um a College and Career indicator on the dashboard so should I say but we started with 59.6% and actually right now because of the fact that um it is the yeah we're in this year we don't have I don't have that currently with me at right now but I that's what our Baseline was though so but our goal by go at the end of the threee is to be a completion rate of 75% that's what we're hoping for great um wonderful and then in goal three uh
039looking at positive climates we t talk about a lot of the actions around social emotional learning supports um increasing opportunities and offerings of extracurriculars athletic vaa um so I was kind of wondering in what ways we measure also the effectiveness of these various supports and opportunities Beyond simply their presence or simply being offered if that makes sense the way we have it written in the lcap is by attendance um to attendance rate their surveys um if they participate if they show up for school how they feel connected to school so it's based on those metrics is how we identify and measure okay and the surveys that we have list is there that will be upcoming those surveys are produced here within the district by our staff that draft that corre specific to our our offerings
040that's correct thank you and in June we will do the final the year at the end of the year perfect m M Flores so I just wanted to call something out on the elap go three under positive climates I just want to add um The Wellness Center which uh thanks to Mr adult has been a huge success and I've heard rave reviews from students so I think that's great um that we're able to offer that Sanctuary for our students so I just wanted to call that out and and recognize that as well and also on the um Equity multiplier uh for the key actions enhancing accessibility to online instruction was this something that the students said they needed more online instruction um or how did you come up with that I believe what uh Miss
041regosa was trying to do in that campus is making sure that uh students had the opportunity at all times of the day to try to recover as much credit as possible U because in the end goal they want to make sure that they either graduate from them or they're able to transfer them back to the high school to graduate from there so um I believe uh when she me she put that goal in it's to really uh provide that for Arrow students which wasn't an opportunity before so it's almost like that catch all where if a student like there's a period where no matter what subject you need um there's a there's a software that they go into called Apex that they can try to recover as much credit as possible on that subject matter
042great thank you go ahead ma'am um also on the equity multiplier um I know we're in what halfway through year one are we trending to decrease the suspension rates uh of the Latino students and um how are we looking at at Credit Recovery toward graduation as far as a credit recovery for graduation I can't you know I I would assume Lisa is going to say that uh they're on track and that the students are doing well but we won't have an accurate idea probably till closer to the end of the um the third quarter per se uh before we get to the final quarter before final grades uh but I know that uh all these supports that she put in place last year which of course also helped with the model continuation school visit that
043we got because they said that the supports we have for this campus is tremendous and amazing compared to some of the other schools that they visited in the past so that was a great news in kudos for our district and for Lisa M Mr regosa uh but as far as suspension rates I know that uh so the Baseline that we have here for Arrow uh was 26.7% for all students and 29.3% as of for Hispanic students for Hispanic students sorry so the goal for for the um outcome was to decrease for our Hispanic students by a full percent I don't know um we did we have so we decreased well that's our our M so I I I apologize that wasn't our goal we decreased a full percent at this moment in time yeah and
044same thing for Bridges Academy they started at 62.5% uh this past Year's data shows a 57.7% so there's been a decrease our goal is to decrease by 10% in three years yes Mr Rose anything okay all right couple questions for you Dr iro on the uh on the lcap goal two on the metrics associated with the the CTE pathway completion rate as a reminder it takes three classes to complete right it depends on how long the pathway is if it's a twoyear pathway as soon as they finish both classes the first and second year they would complete they' be counted as a completer at the end of the second year so if it's a three-year program then all three correct is there a Capstone for all of them uh yes so um if it's a
045two-year program it's a concentrator then a Capstone for the second year and if it's a three-year program it's an intro concentrator then Capstone and we have how many Pathways uh right now we have we have culinary we have graphic arts we've got engineering we have a biomed we have sports medicine and we have business our beta program at the high school and the goals get all of our kids through one of those Pathways one of those that's the goal that's the goal correct correct all of them a through G I would if I'm not mistaken I believe all the courses because some of those are Roop courses are a through G um now so they do at least get the G elective correct okay excellent all right yes and we actually have some that are
046articulated already with Mount San Antonio College of course we have one class that's dually enrolled and we're looking at adding some more in the future of dual enrollment so um you know we're we're doing we're we're trying to do some great things with that so that way those students get those college credits already while they're in those Pathways yes sir great great option for these kids I appreciate all the work thank you all right thank you for your presentation that will take us on to public comments and we have a card Mr P uh Poland pson good evening uh Neil poen uh he himem uh once again to hear talk about the uh the hate Church you guys are allowing down at Charter Oak uh first to kick it off I do need to remind
047you that it it is a hate Church they are very clear about the lgbtq stances they take on their website and in their sermons and so are not open to all and are not required to be rented to but assuming you are renting to them uh they are of course required to pay that public rate um as a nonprofit they're even getting an at Cost rate and so I've been inquiring about you know the the time they've been spending there Saturday without appearing to to be paying they did come back finally uh with a public information response about some of those details and it looks like they're paying as small as two hours on Saturday uh to set up to put up posters to really make the room inappropriate for any other use and then
048keeping that all day uh the multi-purpose room is the only room they're actually renting for those few hours on Saturday the classrooms that they're putting up large guard loves you banners and things like that aren't being paid for at all on Saturday uh when they're being opened when they're being decorated when they're not being available for use and even if they were paying for those two hours the reality is uh that decoration and that customization means that it's not available for anyone else the entire day and they should be paying for all of that time the documents provided in the information requests um show that's basically on an honor System on Saturdays and how late they stay that they're reporting at face value what they can or how long they're there and about responses to
049complaints um you know so they're replying back to complaints at face value things like there's too many fire exits we went ahead and block some there's not a problem we kept two open or there's too many fire alarms you know there's no need to go ahead and make those available or that we put up signage at the aeds behind a cur curtain I had photos from after that email that showed that those things are not the case and there's no actual enforcement or checking in on these things they're just replying and so this also comes when my complaint was just straight forwarded now I'm here I identified myself I've shown up there but including my contact information I provided to this board directly to them and saying hey these complaints are from Neil making it
050clear that the district doesn't care about them but it's Neil making this trouble and here's his contact information has resulted in large upticks in spam and harassment calls over the last two weeks as well um and I don't think it would be appropriate of course again I identified myself that's not the case but doxing my information that way to the group and making it clear that I'm their problem has only resulted in more issues um this you are providing effectively subsidies by allowing them to rent at less than hours at being used and so I ask you to go back uh charge them for what's being used and for you know people who may want to use that inclusive group or multi-purpose rooms or um classroom Saturday night I offer to sponsor you to just
051show that it's not the case that's available to the public at this time yeah we have several board policies and bylaws that are up for first reading in review and consideration and um questions that we can clarify a series of them deal with uh uh man or updates with regards to new law that require us to update these specific bylaws and so um those those are reflected in um our items and the last one uh that's not related to um bylaws um in governing board is our updates to our summer learning programs which is around making sure it's reflective of the work that's happening utilizing our expanded learning opportunities program funds thank you sir is there any discussion on these Dr ular uh no just you know thank you to the team for updating us

062um my comments are going to be a little lengthy tonight because it's my month um so first uh I want to congratulate all the Ripple makers uh of our own District including Daniela who did our Pledge of Allegiance aoui and Logan who demonstrate leadership right here in our school district and I thought that speech was so timely uh because they are actually demonstrating what she's talking about um and then of course happy Black History Month and as we celebrate this Black History Month uh we must continue to be reminded of the story that Black America is fundamentally intertwined with the story of Labor rights and the ongoing struggle for educational Equity from a Philip Rand off organizing the Brotherhood of sleeping car Porters to Septima Clark citizenship schools that taught tght literacy and civil rights
063black leaders have shown us that education and worker dignity go handin hand today in our own schools we see this Legacy continues our diverse student body brings Rich cultural perspectives and varied lived experiences that strengthen our entire education Community every student deserves to see themselves reflected in our curriculum walking through our hallways and during our celebrations and this isn't about just representation it's about creating an environment where every student in Charter Oak can Thrive the labor movement's rallying cry that an injury to one is an injury to all reminds us that educational Equity isn't optional it is essential and when we support our most marginalized students we lift up every student when we celebrate diversity we don't diminish anyone's story We enrich everyone's education so as we honor Black History Month let's recommit to building
064and protecting schools where every student's identity is celebrated where Equity isn't a buzzword or a bad word but a daily practice where inclusion isn't an afterthought but the foundation of everything that we do here in Charter Oak thank you everyone and have a wonderful Black History Month Mr Rose thank you for the short pation I do what I can it's my mom that's my mom it's good very good uh Z The Grove Elementary School I'm proud that they're here tonight because three of my kids anend in there it's good to see uh Gill here and you know it's it's phenomenal Elementary School thanks for the l cap we're halfway I just want to let all that you to know and keep up a can work You' done a fabulous job in the district and keep
