008I tolston   dominguez Cvantes hi hi yes motion carries  unanimously communication to the board of   education Chula Vista classified employees  organization Miss Angela Reid good evening   board dr reyes during my 14 years of service for  CVCEO I have consistently advocated for equitable   treatment and systematic professional development  for classified employees to be fair we the   district and CBCO have collectively made inroads  in this area specifically in the fact the district   has agreed to investing paid hours towards  professional development this was a vital first   step and it both demonstrates that the district  sees potential benefit in professional development   and it also provided the necessary capacity to  allow it in the first place at the time I was   very pleased that time was allocated for and  dedicated to collaboration and professional   development and was optimistic about where  that would

009take us next the sad truth is that   the investment towards professional development  remains a source of potent source of potential   rather than realized gains because to date we have  no systematic professional development framework   what we have received is somewhat scattered and  non-integrated training some of that training was   certainly valuable the monthly stars training  certainly was but frankly fell apart when the   director behind it left the position and then  the district will this happen with the special   education symposium as well from the start  I have emphasized that I am not asking for   special treatment for classified employees in any  form but consistently ask for equitable treatment   for example other district employees receive  professional development opportunities monthly   yet classified classroom employees are left behind  for another example the VAPA program provides   significant opportunities for collaboration and  professional

010development to certificated staff   yet classified employees receive no benefit from  this valuable and extremely expensive district   program i know that I have spoken on this and  related matters on multiple occasions because   it is that important a better trained and more  capable classified workforce is better able to   support schools and students feels more like an  active participant in the mission of educating   students and is gaining proficiency and expertise  this is a multi multi mutually beneficial as both   the district and the classified employees win  i cannot overemphasize how firmly I believe   that investing in classified employees is a force  multiplier that enables schools to utilize highly   trained classified resources resulting in more  efficient use of instruction hours by teachers   to the benefit of educating students a way to  accomplish this is to accept CBCO's sunshine   proposal as

011this will increase collaboration  and professional development opportunities   my hope is that the district takes an  earnest approach to improving classified   employees working conditions thank you thank  you chula Vista educators Miss Rosie Martinez good evening trustees Dr reyes and cabinet  tonight I want to recognize the important work of   schoolboard trustees and the great responsibility  that you hold since the decisions that you make   impact students staff and the community at large  we appreciate the time and effort taken to make   sure that you have all the facts needed to  make informed and thoughtful decisions cve   values the relationships that we have built with  with some of you and the time that you give us   to hear and address our concerns we appreciate  you um I want to thank Dr reyes for being the   first superintendent in CVESD that

012recognizes  the importance of including the labor partners   in reviewing the agenda in advance and providing  us the time to ask questions i have personally   attended these monthly meetings in Chiliva  Vista for the past 12 years i care deeply for   this district and I'm a member of this community  our CVE PAC team members attend or watch these   meetings and provide a monthly report to our  representative council so that it can be shared   with the membership at large we believe that it  is important that members are aware of the agenda   items and how trustees vote on them as president  of the Chulivist Vista Educators I encourage   members to attend and be engaged unfortunately  accessing these meetings has become quite a   challenge it almost feels like the public is being  discouraged from participating and being informed   while surrounding

013districts can conduct business  in two hours it is taking this board between four   and six hours on average and that does not  include your close session last month you   voted to extend this meeting until 2:00 a.m  expecting the community to stay engaged in   a meeting for 8 hours that is a full day of  work that means that staff was expected to   be here for over 18 hours that day and then  had about five hours to go home and rest and   be back early in the morning for work this is  outrageous it is disrespectful i cannot in good   conscience ask my members to attend under under  these circumstances it is also an insult to the   public to claim that you're asking questions for  our sake the agenda is published 5 days in advance   we take the

014time to look through it and have the  ability to pull items that we need that we feel   need to be addressed and if we have questions  about them when 18 out of 28 items are pulled   it is no longer a consent calendar it makes  the board look inefficient and unprepared the   important items are presented in public hearings  and administrative actions these items are not   being addressed until close to midnight how  is this transparent how can these items be   meant for public information and input what the  community wants is to hear about reports on budget   and LCAP not on how filtered water is filtered  please have some consideration for the staff   and the community by making these meetings more  efficient and accessible to the public thank you   thank you administrative excuse me administrators  association Chula Vista

015Miss Teresa Corona thank   you good evening President Ogarte trustees and  superintendent Dr reyes as we close out the school   year I want to take a moment as AACB president  to recognize the work and contributions of our   members the principles and associate principles  of CVESD this year site leaders have continued to   rise to the occasion leading with heart integrity  and a commitment to their students families and   staff uh throughout the year AACV has appreciated  having a seat at the table and being part of a   professional partnership that has centered  on collaboration for student success uh we   have valued the open lines of communications that  have been built and the opportunity to contribute   meaningfully to district-wide initiatives  as our members prepare for the summer break   uh we know the district will continue its  important work on the

016rigorous learning for   all academic plan and the priority actions it  outlines aacv supports the district's direction   and its focus on instructional excellence  equity and building systems that serve all   students at the same time we offer this thoughtful  perspective while we support the vision and intent   of the priority actions it is essential that these  initiatives are not only launched but that work is   put into this initiative for these initiatives  to be sustained with time planning and all the   resources they require uh it's our principles and  associate principles who will carry out this work   at the site level supporting teachers and staff to  bring the plan to life and truly for this plan or   any plan to be effective the actions have to be  manageable and given the attention they deserve   sustainable change takes time and it

017requires  that planning shared responsibility and that   space for ongoing reflection and feedback but  once again AACV is supportive of the priority   actions and is committed to supporting that  process uh throughout the process and thank   you for valuing the voice work and experience  of site administrators thank you thank you oral communications the oral communication section  provides the public with an opportunity to address   the board on non-aggenda items persons wishing to  be heard may attend in person and should complete   a request to be heard card and submit it to  the recording secretary before the start of   the meeting speakers are requested to limit  their remarks to three minutes and speak in   a respectful and professional manner the board  shall limit the total time for in public input   on each topic to 20 minutes with board consent  the

018president may increase or decrease the time   allowed for public comments depending on the  number of persons wishing to be heard the board   of trustees cannot legally take action or respond  to matters not posted on the public agenda due to   government code but will refer the matters  to the superintendent for review and repost   we have 18 speakers excuse me we have 12 speakers  and 18 total we have uh 12 speakers on one item   with the consent of the board I would like to  limit these speeches to 1 minute and 30 seconds yes i think what we were talking about you  said each item has to be with at 1 minute   and 30 this would be almost 20 minutes and is  that what we're required well that's that a   minimum at each limit each topic to 20

019minutes  because I would have preferred that they each   get their time that would be over 30 36 minutes  so there's 20 minutes for the item 20 minutes   there's 20 minutes for the item Uh there's uh  how many total for public comment eight uh 15   and there are seven 16 but the board shall limit  the total time for public input on each topic to   20 minutes the question was how many total for  16 16 so there's 16 12 plus 12 plus a four so 16   at a minute and a half but the other four don't  have the same sub no all of them so everybody in   um public comment because we we can limit all  of them because the total has to be 20 we can   extend it we can can we extend it for each

020for  the topic of the line item so oral communication   is just one item right regardless of what  they're speaking so oral communication is   20 minutes so we can extend it or we can reduce  it for Okay normally they get 3 minutes normally   they get three minutes more like two minutes  two minutes two minutes two minutes two minutes move for two minutes move two minutes do I have  a second i can second can Can we discuss this a   little further if the community came here thinking  that they're going to have three minutes prepared   and this is the norm it happens at boards  across the county that the time can be limited   um based on the number of speakers wishing  to be heard and so if there are number of   speakers especially on one particular topic  we

021can limit it to 20 minutes this is this   will be a little bit over 20 minutes sure and  what I shared with uh Trusty Tamayo was then   uh was the mistake of the public to have put  what they were going to speak on should they   have not stated we're going to speak on no  because they they put the item for public   communication right the agenda the publish  agenda states that we can limit to 20 minutes   the agenda item right be consistent so we're being  consistent with trying to maintain 20 minutes so they they can't they can't have any they can't  have any input in this other because it's not   on the agenda so I there's a motion on the  floor and I believe there's a second i call   for the vote uh recording secretary call 

022for the vote and the motion on the floor   is two minutes ramirez Dominguez nay Tolston nay  domingo CVantes nay tamayo yes ugarte yes motion   fails 32 or two three they should get their  three minutes three minutes all right put it   in let's get them okay the first Please be um  please be prepared to speak the first three um   in order um I don't have a name um they live  on Cay Fernandez sonia Brown is next after   that and then Jessica Severance or No sorry nor  Abbott Frank Sonia Brown and Jessica Severance could they repeat their name when they get  up there they do thank you for giving us   the time good evening my name is Nor Frank  and I'm here today to respectfully request   that Bella be allowed to remain enrolled at  Liberty Elementary bella

023has built strong   supportive relationships with her classmates  and teachers there and it has become a vital   and positive environment for her learning and  emotional well-being as a person who volunteers   often at Liberty I have witnessed that Bella  has faced unique medical challenges this year   that has contributed to her absence from school  she has been diagnosed with a medical condition   involving stones in her mouth which has caused  significant discomfort and made her feel like   she was choking this feeling has also given  her anxiety and fear of dying from choking   in addition Bella experienced symptoms that  related to sensory processing disorder which   can make her feel overwhelmed and physically  unwell especially when she tried to eat these   combined health conditions have unfortunately  led her to miss school but her parents have   actively been working with medical professionals 

024to support her health and help her feel better   consistency and familiarity are especially  important for Bella liberty Elementary has been a   place where she feels safe supported and connected  removing her from this environment would be   disruptive for her progress and could negatively  impact her educational and emotional stability   i truly believe that remaining at Liberty is at  Bella's best interest not only for her academic   development but also for her mental and emotional  health the relationship she has built with staff   and peers provide a sense of belonging and routine  that are essential to her growth this family is   very dear to my heart and I have seen their  struggles especially when their son Gio was   going through chemo bella and her family have  been through so much please give this family   a chance to keep their kids

025routine and school  the same this can be super beneficial for their   whole family's well-being thank you for your  understanding and support thank you sonia Brown good evening President Yugarte Superintendent  Dr reyes and board members and district leaders   my name is Sonia Brown i'm a parent at Liberty  Elementary but tonight I stand before you as the   voice of a family that feels unheard and as an  advocate for a child whose medical needs deserve   more than just numbers on a page i'm here because  behind every data point is a story like Gabriella   whose future depends on how we respond when  families are struggling not when everything is   going smooth i want to begin by thanking you for  the time the commitment and the heart you bring   to this work i know the decisions you make are  not

026easy but I know this district has built its   mission around equity inclusion and promise that  every child no matter their background needs or   circumstances is seen valued and supported  tonight I want to speak to that promise   i want to share the story of a family who has done  everything right and a child who simply wants to   belong this is about what it means to truly serve  the whole child and to walk alongside families   especially when their journey is harder than most  gabriella Jenoni is a bright resilient student   living with a chronic medical condition that has  impacted her school attendance her family has   consistently communicated provided documentation  and remained fully committed to her education   and well-being and yet they're often felt they've  often felt unsupported left to navigate the system   alone this raises an important question

027when does  chronic absenteeism truly become a concern for our   district is it only when a parent submits an  interdist transfer request that it's flagged   because by that point it's often too late there's  no time to build support no real opportunity for   partnerships just a sense of judgment and finality  that leaves families feeling defeated this   district says it believes in teamwork but families  that families are the primary role models to our   children and that collaboration between families  schools and communities is the foundation of   student success but when families like Gabrielas  who have done everything in their power to support   their child feel pushed aside or penalized that  teamwork breaks down supporting students with   medical challenges requires more than policy it  requires a true partnership rooted in empathy   communication and trust that's what this family  hoped for

028and that's what they still hope to   find chronic absenteeism is complex sometimes it  reflects disengagement but many times it reflects   life circumstances beyond a child's control  families like the Goonies aren't asking for   special treatment they're asking for compassion  for context and for a chance to stay connected to   their school community the emotional toll of being  dismissed or questioned while doing everything   right is something no family should ever have to  carry may I finish i have a couple of sentences   thanks and students like Gabriella deserve more  than a numberbased response they deserve to be   seen heard supported as a whole child tonight I  respectfully ask that you reconsider Gabriella's   denial and not just through the lens of attendance  data but through the lived reality of a child with   a serious medical condition and a family doing 

029their very best let's be the district that doesn't   just say we support every child but shows it  when it matters most thank you thank you Jessica   Severance then it will be Stuart Carrie Gabriella  Janon's mom and Rosie Valenuela good evening my   name is Jessica Severance i was an instructional  assistant for seven years i worked both for the   Chula Vista Elementary School District as well  as the San Diego Unified School District so I   come here with nothing but the utmost respect for  educators and for the school system i've known the   Janon family for the past 10 years when I met them  their son uh Gio had already been diagnosed with   brain cancer he had already gone through surgeries  treatment and hospitalization and that is what   Gabriella has known for her entire life for her  entire life

030her brother has been sick and she's   witnessed the heartache that this has caused her  parents in seeing the suffering that uh their son   was going through and in seeing the sacrifices  that her family had to make because of it   unfortunately all this has had a real negative  impact on Gabriella's mental health her family had   to sell their house and move out of the district  not because they wanted to but because that was   the only way they could afford to continue paying  for Gio's um cancer treatments so her family   did want their children to remain at the schools  where they had built relationships where they were   stable where they were thriving and they've been  able to do that with Giovanni and he really you   know it really has had a real positive impact on  his mental

031well-being and on his health and they   want the same for Gabriella especially with what  she is now going through with her medical issues um to move Gabriella to a different district  away from the district where her brother goes   with different school schedules with the distance  and the the different pickup and drop off times   would cause undue hardship for the family a  family that's already been through so much i   can understand your weariness because I realize  that there are people who would take advantage   of the intrad district permit but I can assure you  that the Janon are not those people they're a good   family they're an honest family and they work hard  to provide everything they can for their family   for their children's happiness and for their  health so I am here today to respectfully request  

032that you reconsider and that you allow Gabriella  to remain within the district thank you for your   time thank you um I want to take a pause real  quick um can Gabriella's mom come up please or dad and dad or both miss Casey can you please um  tell us what you just Okay can Miss Casey can   you come up we're just taking a pause for  a minute yeah just a two-minute break sorry miss Jenoni Rosie Valenuela Joe Ruiz no they don't have to come up that's  right thank you raquel Corral juliana   Cororo you're saying yes or no if you would  like to speak yeah if you would like to speak thank you stacy Himenez stacy Jimenez are you still here adriana Busalachi and Saraphina Mafrius thank you thank you thank you for your time  okay uh

033next we have Tammy Quinn liam Quinn then hi I am Liam Quinn a now former sixth grader at LB  Allen Elementary School in my school students in   sixth grades are given an unfair punishment for  their actions titled contracts these contracts   have five slots each slot requiring a staff  member's signature to confirm the student has   done 30 minutes of community service if these  kids do not finish these contracts they are   threatened that they will not be able to  participate in field trips i had already   confronted my teacher about why she had done  this her response stated that these field trips   were fun field trips teachers are not allowed  to have non-curriculum based field trips and   on the most recent field trip the permission  slip had said that it was a study trip kids   are given these

034contracts for the smallest  things such as talking in class or eating gum   i have ADHD and pyro disorder and am a person  that talks a lot and I got a contract just for   that 12.5 hours of community service seems  unfair doesn't it and said contracts must   be completed before or after school and during  recess now the fact that before and after school   are options makes it seem like it isn't that bad  but students cannot control how early or late they   can get to or stay after school and the recess  option does violate California Senate Bill 291   which states that students must have 30 or more  minutes of recess now about a month ago I found   that the district website included a page where  you can contact them and I have told them about   this in

035the message I sent them I had stated  the principal is okay with this and that it is   sickening and disquing and who did they put in  charge of the situation the principal why would   you put someone who was a part of the complaint  in charge of the situation if you ask me that   is quite counterproductive and raises concern of  the outcome being severely affected by bias this   issue has caused a very big and negative impact  on my mental health and even caused problems with   my teacher even though I am no longer a student at  this school nothing about my motivations to speak   today changes as I am not doing this for myself  but for the future sixth graders who deserve a   healthy and non-toxic educational environment  thank you very much thank you Liam tammy Quinn

036thank you for taking um our our talkings today  and I'm a teacher at Chivvis Elementary School   District and a parent of course i would like  the school district to know that our this   child reached out to the district on his own he  found the contact page on the district's website   during the school day it's quite concerning that  the district's response to his complaint was to   ask the person directly responsible for this  negative discipline procedure to investigate   the procedure her response without real reflection  was that she's going to keep it in place how do   you think that made my child feel he reached out  to administration to address something that he   thought was unfair and illegal and you gave the  person enforcing the policy the right to dismiss   his concerns without contemplation of how unjust  the

037contracts are even if you were not moved by my   child's plea to consider how much the stresses  out students please consider this parent plea   that you can reconsider how complaints received  at the district level are handled when they come   directly from a student don't have the person  reported in the complaint do the investigating   that pre seems pretty common sense for various  reasons like work schedules medical conditions   and financial reasons not all parents can equally  support their child to complete the contract hours   before and after school this means that most  students will have to do their community service   during recess time which basically means the  contracts are circumventing California State Bill   291 does the district have any kind of procedure  in place to ensure that students with behavioral   needs 504s and IEPs are not disproportionately  affected

038by such contracts oftentimes disciplinary   actions disproportionately affect children of  color and boys is there procedure in place to   ensure this is not happening these contracts  cannot be implemented with equity and fairness   these contracts will remove the responsibility  of teaching positive discipline from teachers   and places an unnecessary burden unstress onto  students and parents schools are responsible for   students bell-to-bell and their procedures should  be implemented bell-to-bell and should not remove   children from very necessary recess time nor commu  uh curriculum based field trips uh study trips   per the p the principal stated that end of the  school year trips for sixth grade are fun earned   trips her words no study trips are not just for  fun and our grade level events and grade level   events don't usually uh have to be earned in order  to participate during these

039cont uh contracts uh   dressing these contracts up as community service  does not change the fact that in a the way that   it is punishing children with various discipline  teachers need more training on ways to positively   discipline children within a school day on the  same day or at least the same week and an issue   in instead of dealing with a contract uh that can  disproportionately affect children with behavior   needs what is the criteria to determine that  there's a specific student that's crossed the   line it's very arbitrary uh I've been teaching for  26 years and I have never ever tried to remove a   student from a curriculum event or a field trip  and I have often been physically assaulted by my   students so please let's take the responsibility  back on the principles and the and the sixth

040grade   teachers just because the rest of us teachers  we also implement our discipline in positive   ways throughout the school day and don't rely on  an arbitrary way of keeping children they don't   think deserve to be there having fun at the  end of the school year thank you Berta Lopez good afternoon everyone i'll keep this short  and to the point i want to talk about something   important respect both towards each other on this  board and towards the public we are here to serve   i attended the last board meeting and I couldn't  help to notice that there has been a shift in how   we communicate i've seen and I know others have  seen moments where conversations have turned rude   dismissive or downright disrespectful that's  not how we should be we don't have to agree   on everything of

041course that's not realistic  but how we handle disagreements do matter we   can have strong opinion opinions and passionate  debates but there's a line between disagreement   and disrespect and unfortunately that line  has been crossed too often often lately   the public is watching our community is watching  and the way we keep we speak to one another and   to your colleagues on the board reflects directly  on the integrity of this board so I'm asking you   trust and to do better let's lead by example  let's bring respect back into the boardroom   let's disagree without being disrespectful let's  listen without interrupting let's treat others the   way we want to be treated basic things that go a  long way we are all here because we care so let's   make sure our behavior reflects that thank you  respect is not just about

042how we treat those we   agree with it is about how we treat everyone even  though we disagree and uh Miss Karen Dominguez   contrary to what Miss Martinez said keep pulling  out every agenda item that you do not understand   it doesn't matter how late you are here you are  informing the public and it is very important   for us to get answers and the only way we're going  to get answers is by all of you pulling out every   single item because it's important for the public  to know thank you so much thank you christy M good evening thank you for the opportunity to  speak today i am here to formally request that   that the district conduct an equity based needs  assessment particularly regarding the allocation   of support services for the upcoming school year  the district has announced

043that each school will   receive a part-time counselor while this may  appear equitable on the surface it does not   reflect the vastly different needs of each school  site at Rogers we serve over 200 students with   special needs more than double or triple the  number of other schools which typically range   from 60 to 80 students according to excuse  me according to data quest um provided by   the California Department of Education despite  this dramatic difference Rogers will receive the   same level of counseling support as schools with  far fewer students requiring specialized services   as a result Rogers will be using its Title One  funds to cover what should be considered a basic   necessity for the school's unique population this  raises a serious concern regarding supplement   versus supplement under federal law Title One  funds are meant to supplement not replace

044core   services that districts should already be  providing so if Rogers must divert Title   One funds just to meet the baseline support  needs while other schools get to use their   Title One funds for enrichment and innovation  then we are not being treated e um equitably we   are being asked to supplement what should be  district funded services i respectfully urge   the board to adopt an equity-based approach  that acknowledges the real and significant   differences in student needs across our schools  a one-sizefits-all solution is not true equity   it is it is equality without consideration of  context without that context we risk continuing   to fall short in providing every student with  the resources they need to succeed i know that   resource allocation is complex but I truly believe  that equity- based approach will help ensure that   all students including those

045with greatest the  greatest needs are fully supported i am asking   the board to consider reviewing current support  plans through the through this lens before we   move into the next school year thank you for  your time and consideration and while I have   a quick second I would like to also congratulate  um uh our new principal Andy Falconer um I'm we   were not able to be here at 2 am to while he  was sworn in and also um you know for Miss   Dorsy was awarded our assistant principal last  night so I just want to recognize that Rogers   is on a great path and I hope that you guys  can support us um on that thank you thank you oral presentations and written reports the  district safety health update mr romero president Superintendent Dr reyes and our uh 

046community it's my pleasure to present today's   uh this month's safety update so the action items  that we're going to talk about today are our CVPD   camera access school safety and committee  assistance and workplace violence uh so just   some clarification on where we are with our uh CVB  CVPD camera access there's no police access yet um   access is still limited to site administrators IT  personnel and the safety team uh the CVPD process   we're currently drafting uh city policy for  camera integration uh the initial police access   is proposed only for live monitoring during an  active safety threat so if there's a need uh at   our school site we've had ejects activated and  there's a a critical safety concern that would   be the only time the police would have access um  on our side the process is still

047developing anou   with CVPD uh the CVESD safety committee uh would  perform anou review um and of course uh working   with our labor partners uh to create verbiage that  would be put into that uhou uh school safety and   committee support um so we're going to continue  meeting with our uh safety teams the safety teams   are invited uh safety team can uh assist with uh  moderating and meeting if needed agenda items the   safety team will provide a broad range of topics  for principles to choose from so uh one of the   things that we're looking at to make sure that uh  we have kind of uh uh options that our principles   can meet with their safety teams and select from  so things like EIEX um stop the bleed uh safety   policies and drills emergency plans and safety  drills

048are some of the topics and basically give   those options to principles uh to share with their  safety team um and then be able to provide options   to um to their school single school site um so  the accountability is we have a meeting and agenda   that's had at each school site um and make sure  that those meetings do take place uh workplace   violence program um as last year was our first  year of implementation of the new Senate bill   and law in uh California we're working closely  um with making sure that we provide updates to   our workplace violence training uh video so we're  working with our um consultant that provided the   trainings last year to update any new policies  uh provide that video uh to our our district and   then put it in our JPA learning library

049um once  that's complete we'll we'll make sure to notify   our principles um and have an opportunity for our  uh our um uh mo uh excuse me our presidents from   our labor groups to to preview that video but  we're super excited uh to keep that uh program   growing so in addition to uh that our workplace  violence advisory committee will meet quarterly   uh to discuss cases and program development  uh the committee will consist of all of our   labor union presidents the safety team and the  assistant superintendent of student services thank   you that provides our conclusion to our safety  update there are no speakers any board questions i wanted to ask if part of Thank you first of all  Mr romeo and um but I wanted to ask if we could   have a monthly update as far as

050when it talk when  we're talking about workplace violence or sometime   you know we've had vandalism that sort of thing if  we could have a monthly report included here as to   um the type of SB553 requires a a file and I  don't know what the reporting requirements are   with regard to confidentiality we would have  access to it but I don't know that we could   publicly disclose yeah the incidences there you  can we can look at them we can access them and   so and I believe the public can with information  redacted but we have to look at my understanding   is that is the yeah the like the number like  the type but not the correct don't need to know   the specifics you know uh vandalism u we can you  can figure out the categories to give us

051an idea   idea of what our school sites are experiencing  therefore our staff is experiencing so we can   give you that like the raw numbers throughout  the district could that include be included as   part of the your safety report Mr romero yeah  for our monthly update or Yeah absolutely we   can include that you're talking about on this  report yes sir yes yeah we'll start that when   school starts uh first in August will be our first  time but yeah we can do that thank you mhm i have   um Sorry Mr romero i I missed the part where  it says the meetings these meetings will be in   schools the safety meetings yes so our safety team  meet Yeah sorry Dr ryz yes thank you our safety   meetings will be school site based meetings  um we'll have uh the

052uh safety team will have   uh records of who's attended those meetings  and then notes and then our safety team um will   provide topics that we can come in and provide  information to those safety teams on and those are   some of the things because you because you said  if they're invited so I I feel like they should   be invited to every meeting because they are the  safety committee i'm sure you know so are you   talking about a site meeting yeah so that's what  I misunderstood yeah so we have the safety team   will be invited to every They will okay because  it said if invited that's what I misunderstood so   and what I'm what I'm saying for is we have these  topics we only have two people on our safety team   um and so with 51 schools

053um it's 51 meetings  a month i don't know if we could attend all of   them so that's why we have some topics that that  we can cover and then principles can work with   their safety team to determine which ones are  priorities for for our team to attend all right   thank you yeah we want to make sure that we're out  there and I will tell you Darren is he's never in   my office he is at school sites okay cuz that's  what I was that's kind of my point that yeah if   you look at my weekly the presence is so important  at my weekly you'll see at the bottom and we list   all the school sites that Darren was at for that  week and he's at schools um every every day he's   at multiple schools thank you

054of course um I'm  going to apologize for Darren but um is there   also a way that we can have safety team meetings  maybe quarterly or every two quarters for our subs   and our um yeah our subs and our certificate and  classified subs yeah so Mr from here can you share   for example for our classified staff what can we  do to uh support our classified staff regarding   trainings and then regarding regarding the the  substitute because I know that that's complicated   because you know they sub in different districts  but how how can we provide support or train subs   um on certain dates uh but also can you address  the classified staff yeah so classified staff   that's a great question and we want to work  in partnership with Angela Reid we do have   uh this is the first

055year that we've really uh  implemented the workplace violence um so uh this   is a new program for us and we're excited to be  pioneers in some of the things that we're we're   going to be talking and addressing um we have  two people on the safety team that are really   passionate about about this topic you know they're  they're excited uh just like the board in making   sure that Chilivista is the safest schools not  only in the state in the country um so they're   constantly sharing ideas with me on how to do more  um so absolutely uh we want to work with um Angela   Reid i do think there's time at the beginning  of the school year um to provide some of these   critical trainings for our substitutes we have an  onboarding process that we meet with

056them so we do   meet with our substitutes um it is a tiny bit of a  challenge um with our substitutes because finding   a time that they would be available for trainings  um and then compensation for them when we have   over 1,400 substitutes in our system um trying to  get them trained uh regularly would be one costly   it's just you know because they're not on uh on  contract but two um having the consistency of that   but your question has brought up some like  thinking points that I can share with the safety   team and maybe we can create like a handbook you  know that we can have a meeting with them and   then provide them a safety handbook that they can  look through at their own time and so that's one   of the things that we can

057talk about this summer  and implement so thank you thank you very much all right thank you Mr romero um with  the board consent I'd like to move   um to item 10A the recognition of district  parent scholars for participation in the   CVESD university with without any objection  okay all right um item 10A recognition of   district parent scholars for participation  in the CBESD University workshop dr reyes   actually I'm going to have  uh Miss uh Javanna Castro   uh mention this one it's the participation  of the parents you want to talk about it yeah good evening uh tonight we are recognizing  two parents that participated in the CVESD   University workshops for the 2425 school  year um specifically uh they participated   in seven or more workshops this past school  year so they are our parent scholars uh we   are really

060on   your dedication on wanting to grow and be better  and uh do better and get ideas of how to address   issues sometimes i went to two of them and so  I I benefited from those workshops myself but   um I I do want to ask you if you could please um  share that with your other parents your you know   let them know about them and we'll do a better  job of getting that information out as well and   maybe providing other time frames that that it  can become available thank you for attending   likewise um I want to congratulate you for your  tenacity and and sharing your time away from   home to participate on uh on these workshops i  know the district has been working to create a   uh more attractive workshops and I would  love to have

061some some of your feedback   uh through the district to see what other type of  workshops or how can we revamp because that was   um one of the things that we we keep thinking  right how do we revamp the uh the the parent   university uh workshops to make it more enticing  and more uh accessible for parents because I think   there's value i seen some of the topics uh and  I seen some of the um ways that we're trying to   reach out i think there's there's a little  bit more of opportunity to to improve and   I know under Jovana that's going to improve um  so thank you for for sharing some of your time   i know as as a parent uh it's difficult  sometimes to walk away from from home but   um thank you for investing in

062time in you and  for your kids as you always they always take   everything I'm going to say but congratulations  and I do want to say I think that the real   um value the district gets from this is that I  know you all have friends in the community and you   probably share this information with them and so  whenever we're educating one parent we're really   educating a few parents because we know that you  go and you share the information with your fellow   parents that are your friends and so we appreciate  that and not that it's your you have to but it's a   big responsibility and we appreciate that you're  doing this for your students and and know that it   impacts just more than than your family as well  so thank you very much and congratulations y before

066President Ugger as part of our continuous   commitment to improvement and transparency tonight  we will be presenting to you our reflections on   our progress with the local indicators this is  in preparation for our submission to the 2025   California school dashboard these local indicators  allow LEAs to reflect locally on how they are   meeting goals in the areas that are not measured  by state assessments at this time I would like   to introduce Cindy Estrada our coordinator of  assessment accountability and teacher induction   and she will be sharing with you more about that  process and CVESD's reflections thank you thank   you good evening President Muerte trustees Dr  reyes i feel like I was just here not that long   ago reporting on the dashboard and here we are  preparing for a new one which is exciting and so   tonight I'm here

067to share our reflection process  on the local indicators which will prepare us for   our submission for the 2025 um school dashboard  and so just a quick reminder what are the local   indicators local indicators are part of the  California dashboard which report on both state   and local indicators and um they are measures  that are aligned to our LCFF priorities for   the indicators where the state does not collect  data centrally districts and eleas reflect and   report that that progress as required by the  state board of education these reflections not   only meet accountability requirements but also  inform our strategic planning through the LCAP thank you districts report on LCFF  priorities which are published to   the dashboard um these there are 10  priorities and as a district we we   report on five of them priority 1 priority  2 3

068six and seven on the screen here you   will see how the local indicators are  displayed on the California dashboard the first step in the reflection process is to  annually measure progress on each applicable   local indicator this involves collecting relevant  data reflecting on outcomes and CVE CVESD gathers   this information in multiple ways for example  rigorous learning for all input sessions teacher   roundtables through our LCAP survey our handover  data data and through educational partner feedback   through committees like consultation DAC  DAC and site councils currently we are in   step two of this process which requires us  to present our reflections for the local   indicators as a non-consent item during the  same public meeting that the LCAP is adopted   the final step step three is to report the  results to the public through the California   school dashboard completing these

069three steps  ensure that this information is accessible to   all educational partners and fulfills the state's  public reporting requirements the upcoming slides   will highlight the five priorities that CVESD  reports to the California school dashboard   priority one is centered around basic conditions  each year to meet to meet the requirement of   priority one districts measure their compliance  with the William settlement settlement to require   uh 100% across all applicable school sites  we monitor to ensure that all teachers are   properly credentialed instructional materials are  aligned with state standards and our facilities   meet safety and cleanliness standards priority  two reflects on how districts support educators   in implementing California state standards across  all content areas here are the key highlights from   CVESD's reflection on this priority cvesd has  adopted standards align instructional materials   and continues to prioritize professional learning  that is aligned

070to the California state standards   this includes training in core subjects like  math ELA with the integration of EL standards and   rolling out the support for the new math framework  site based instructional leadership teams   are using data to guide implementation efforts  through a common use of a data protocol analysis   teachers are supported and uh supported in  embedding designated and integrated EL into core   instruction which is a component of our benchmark  ELA ELD curriculum additionally CVESD identifies   it its implementation status as being in the full  implementation phase with active efforts underway   to sustain and deepen that progress priority three  emphasizes how the district builds relationships   with families and seeks their inputs their  input and partners with them in support of   student success the state board of education's  reflection tool for this priority is grounded   in three key

071areas building relationships  between school staff and families building   partnerships for student outcomes and seeking  input for decision-making our key reflections   for priority three are as followed cvesd  maintains ongoing and responsive communication   with families through multiple formats for  example school messenger newsletters parent   family conferences and digital platforms including  social media opportunities like CVESD University   and resources through our community schools  continue to support families as valued partners   these programs provide tools for navigating school  systems understanding academic expectations and   engaging in meaningful dialogue parent voice plays  an essential role in district decision decisions   we continue to engage parents in our LCAP input  sessions through DACA DACA and sitebased councils   our schools actively work to engage families from  diverse backgrounds and languages translation   and interpretation services are available to help  ensure access to engagement opportunities through   this reflection CVESD

072identified its work in this  area as full implementation with targeted actions   to support sustainability and deepen our impact  priority six is centered around school climate   this priority reflects how students experience  school specifically their sense of safety   connectedness inclusion and emotional well-being  cvesd annually administers the handover survey   to gather feedback from students families and  staff about their experiences and perceptions   of the school environment the data collected  provides valuable insights in into areas such   as school safety student engagement and overall  satisfaction survey results are analyzed and used   to inform the development of the district's LCAP  plan which outlines goals and actions to enhance   school climate and positive student outcomes  our district is committed to providing supports   through multi-tered systems of support on how to  analyze student group level data as well as how   to make datadriven decisions

073to increase student  sense of safety and connection our reflection on   this priority indicates a status of full imit  implementation with district-wide initiatives   supporting positive equitable school climates  where every student feels safe seen and supported   finally our last priority that we report on is  access to a broad course of study this priority   focuses on having access to a well-rounded  curriculum that goes beyond the basics   cvesd's award-winning station experiences ensure  that every student has the opportunity to identify   and explore their strengths and interests and  align them with potential careers in the future   world of work with our 2023 DODIA grant CVESD  has implemented steam studios at 15 qualifying   schools through the making way for steam careers  project additionally our VAPER program provides   all students with inclusive purposeful and  standard space arts education our LEAP program   includes clubsmies

074and sports opportunities  where students learn enrich aspire and develop   additionally 19 of our district schools offer the  dual language immersion program providing students   with enriched educational experiences that  promote bilingualism biiteracy and cross-cultural   understanding as a result of these findings  CVSD has reflected at the full implementation   and sustainability phase indicating that access  is both systemic and embedded across the district   so what's our next steps in terms of  preparing for the 2025 dashboard as we   um mentioned these are our reflections of the 2425  school year for the LCFF uh priorities that we   report on cvesd will finalize our reflection tool  and support uh submit that to this my CDE connect   by the required deadline of August 1st and this  submission is part of our formal reporting for the   2025 school dashboard um and I'm happy to report 

075on behalf of the state that they have actually   um adjusted their timeline for the dashboard so  usually that is released in December this year it   will be released November 15th and moving forward  it will be released in October and so we will   be able to have that information even sooner and  so with that I thank you for your time thank you board questions or comments i do okay go ahead thank you i love those  presentations i'm visual so it really helps   me kind of Yeah thank you is there any chance Dr  reyes that uh these presentations could be emailed   to us so we have reference to that it helps me  understand the steps that you're going through   to get to you know the the then the products that  we see later absolutely yeah could you

076um just   email me to the board yes absolutely thank you  thank you very nice oh um priority six student   safety and even other the other priorities what  those are the priorities but what do you have   in place to ensure that we address them so in  terms of the report that I just provided this   is to inform you of our reflections of last year  now we are looking at the data um all across the   district teams looking at handover data um student  um um I know our coordinator um Dr ryan Santos has   met with students to gather that street level  data as well and and so our teams are working   together to really find those actionable next  steps which you will see um reflected within   our rigorous learning for all plan as well i  like that

077the street street data boots on the   ground the kids um is there not something that we  can do throughout the year that we don't have to   wait till the end of the year to find out that  we're addressing as things develop dr yeah so   could you share and and maybe regarding safety or  regarding well actually all the priorities yeah   so as a general can you share some of the actions  uh action steps that we take throughout and how   we monitor the the the results and adjust to it  so we make the right changes and so we don't wait   till the very end to make changes that we adjust  it yes so in step one of that three-step process   that first step actually is a large window of um  us looking at data regularly it's not

078that we wait   till the end of the year to look at it would be  at least quarterly much more frequently um for   our department teams as well we're working very  closely with um our senior directors that support   principles and they inform us of any specific  issues that need direct attention but really as   um one team we're working as one team across  departments to identify needs and um I would   also say that we are um very collaborative in our  efforts and um um working together to really find   solutions um and anticipate trends by looking at  data whether that data is academic data through   um quarterly assessment or um working with  our school sites I know um that are tracking   behavioral data on the playground that maybe it's  a certain time of the day where a certain

079behavior   is is showing up all of those things will be  monitored through our multi-tered systems of   support to identify the specific area of need and  and one of the other reasons why I'm making this   inquiry is because with the implementation  of rigorous rigorous learning for all that   requires rigorous more work for all for all so I  just wanted to acknowledge the um the intensity   of your work that's going to become or that is  already in that you're already in thank you thank   you very much thank you oh sorry i would like to  also thank you for the presentation i love seeing   the parent engagement slide i I enjoy it um and  I love seeing the work that you guys are doing   um I had a question and I don't know if it's  going to be

080the same answer to uh Miss Deia   here um but in the objective where we're talking  about behavior and engagement with the students   um and and you kind of just mentioned it but I  wanted to bring it up um this is something that   it's constant and I understand it's constantly  evolving but also um we need to be constantly   checking and and supporting not only leaving  the way to the psychiatrist or the behavioral   specialist but you know all we can do to diminish  those behaviors thank you i just had a quick   comment um with what Trusty Ramirez said um I like  that you said boots on the ground because I feel   like it's very important that it's not just the  data that you see on the computer or the responses   that you see on the test but

087a point to make sure that   I'm talking about how I we're making I'm making  decisions uh with fiscal responsibility in mind   and I also asked if there will be no more big  spending expenditures related to computers for   the next five years and then the superintendent  had agreed and that's not noted anywhere um   also in Monon O uh I made the same statement um  and I I purposely continue to say these things   um because I want one the community to know that  why I am making the certain decisions that I'm   making or the questions that I am making um that  I understand that computers are a necessity for   our district but I also want to make sure that  we're fiscally responsible and if I ask if it's   the lowest price available um those are the ones 

088that I have the question about did you get that   yes on page of the minutes the page uh uh 97 under  title three the second paragraph i'll give Miss   Ariseli a minute yeah Mr pong did not say title  one was at greater risk implying that something   else was at great risk what he did say it say has  a he said it has a potential of risk and this can   be heard at the fourth hour 25 minute mark okay  page 197 the last paragraph regarding title one   monies Miss Morales stated and I'm quoting that  they are putting in place for the next year and   she went on to say has real time information  collaborating with budget and senior directors   and the coaching cycle the next year and that they  will will be future will be working

089closely with   principles the statement in here implies that  it's been in fact in place or in past tense this can be heard at the  4th hour and 27 mark minute any other yes page 204 missing is that I made a  comment in inquiry about the certificated staff   salary schedule it's been completely omitted and  this can be heard at the 6th hour 17 minute mark and pages 212 and 213 because they kind of  they flow the event it's reporting out that   uh you know how we go to events it's reporting  out that um that we were at McMillan and toured   McMillan that is not true it's no nowhere  even implied in the statements and what   said the event was in the NPR room and neither  Trusty Ramirez Dominguez nor I toured McMillan   i got there first

090then she got there and we  left at the same time and it was all in the   NPR room we never toured and there's no mention  in the recording about being touring page 213   same page i attended a two-day Chiliv Vista PD  community leadership workshop it wasn't a it's   just as I attended a workshop but if they're  making a point of saying a workshop it was a   two-day leadership camp and this can be heard at  the 8th hour 13th minute mark of the meeting video   um what I do want to make a statement of is you  can imagine how much time this took me to go find   the the time and I know it's taking whoever's  doing these minutes probably 10 times more the   time to do that so I can appreciate whoever's  trying to do

091the recording thank you Araeli i   appreciate that i know it takes a long time and  your eyeballs are falling out and your ears and   you're trying to I get it but when posting these  statements it really makes a difference to me and   to the public as to what context and what tense  that something is happen happening i just um   either someone needs to relieve Adeli for a little  bit so she can go do this but um something has to   give and it can't be what actually happened okay  so thank you on that that's that's the end of 11B second um recording secretary please call  the vote dominguez I Tolston dominguez hi   tamayo hi yes motion carries 5-0 all  right 11 CC the public claudia Pereisa CC hi um my name is Claudia Paris Chica and 

092this is more of an inquiry our CVCEO bylaws   um have term limits that prevent our current  president Angela Reed from continuing in her   current role and discontinue her absence  her leave of absence after this November   November 2025 so my question is will  the leave of absence you are trying to   approve tonight be short-term until November  2025 or will it automatically be afforded to   the new brave classified member who is our  president after November thank you Dr reyes uh Dr reyes can you explain yes um the the item Mr romero can you explain the leave of  absence how that works in regards to   uh union presidents yes so uh we work in  conjunction with union presidents and in this case   um we have two unions uh that uh provide uh time  release for their employees uh

093CVC CEO and CVE uh   we work in conjunction with them to align uh the  request with uh their providing us the information   um under their bylaws so I'll work with Angela  Reed to ensure that uh their bylaws uh are   adhering to um the proposed action to tonight  thank you 11 CM that was Trusty Tolston i have   C oh wait CL sorry okay i thought I I had it  marked CL and Trustee Ramirez Dominguez had a   subsection and then trusted Dominguez sorry all  righty um yes where it says let me there you go   uh the first point actually Adam Silva McN will  perform legal consultant services um and then it   continues saying on the bottom of this there's a  next paragraph and it says "ASM will also provide   on-site legal services to address legal issues  that

094arise in district day-to-day operations."   Um my question here is if we go keep going down we  have another legal services that we're contracting   um that are actually more expensive than um the 20  hour rate that we're getting from ASM ASM so could   I just get clarification as to why are you talking  about FAGN full and full frost down later down   on the page is that the one you're referring okay  okay have the other one correct so so the district   has contracts with different attorney firms uhhuh  and u many attorney attorney firms uh deal with um   even though they have their wide range of services  we we tend to use them for like a specialty   uh for example we tend to use uh even though  we use them for more things but we tend to use  

095one for special education another one for maybe  personnel or or student uh issues another one for   uh it could be real estate or finance so different  attorney attorney firms in this particular case   um uh Adam Silva we use so one day a week on  Thursdays he is here um all day and while he's   here he charges is uh charges us at a much lower  rate because he's on because he's on site yeah   just for one day but for example if we So what we  do is we try to wait until th unless it's pressing   but if it's not pressing we wait till Thursday  to to address the issues so we get a lower rate   okay and my follow-up question to that was if  the board has legal questions could we come on   a Thursday and

096ask Yeah person where do we have  we use uh separate services and they go through   me and it goes through the president all righty  making sure can I piggyback on that I know that   trustee Tamayo and I have raised before about  us having access to legal so does that mean we   just we ask you hey can you coordinate somebody  so we can go talk okay so a text because you're   still not getting emails I I started to get the  emails from I saw the one Saturday before you   texted me Mhm okay thank you mhm and then  do you have any other subsections under C and I wanted to bring this one up because I am um  I saw it and it really brought a smile to my heart   and my face um it talks about

097the Ark of San Diego  will provide services building but not limited to   cleaning interior of our DR district buses um ARC  in employees include many adults with disabilities   who are assigned to the district to clean and  I I love to see that we can we can continue to   highlight uh our adults with disabilities and the  fact that in this school district I didn't think   that we obviously highlight our students with  disabilities but now we actually get to employ   um adults with disabilities so this is a  great thing and I just wanted to bring it   up to highlight it um yeah I I think that the  more we highlight the ability of our adults   with disabilities we we will just make them  more part of our community so thank you and   just to comment on that

098they do an excellent job  i'm sure I'm sure they're amazing an amazing job um I have another one um Beyond Square Learning  will provide brain balance San Diego a series   of educational parent workshops again I am u my  question here is is this um part of the parent   university or the CV university i assumed it was  so I also wanted to highlight it i I believe that   the more uh varied the education we can give the  parents the more they'll continue coming and as   we highlighted before our two parents who are no  longer here but as we were able to highlight them   um it just it just gives me that like great um  just a a good sense that we're we're working   towards just continue to educate the parent  because we understand that if we

099educate the   parent we also are helping our children and our  community so I just wanted to bring that one up   i thought it was very interesting and I hope I  can come and assist to those Any others under   um oh yeah sorry just going back to that just  please um Miss Joavana can you make sure that   we give ample time to like advertise and make  sure that the parents are coming um because   we're actually paying money for it but I think  it's a good investment um uh yes another one   Financial Investments Inc a special district  finance it and admin LLC it's on page seven if   you want to follow me uh can explain uh can you  please explain um why they were hired mr mr ray   that's right yes so they're in charge of our

100uh  to do the the taxual services and uh they do the   developer fee studies taxual services for our CFD  uh areas and so they they help us to with all the   the paperwork all the requirements that are needed  as we collect the CFDs can you Okay I see it uh   okay here it says that the cost will be paid for  community for from community facilities district   and or other appropriate district funds i would  like to request that um if at all possible we can   not only say where the funding is coming but um if  we can actually I know this one's like need-based   but in I' I've seen it multiple times that we have  either we'll have title one and general fund can   we have like more specific money amounts or what  is going to

101be attributed I I understand that this   one it's need-based so it might be very difficult  for this specific one but I see it constantly and   I wanted to address that as um it was brought  up it would be great for transparency and for   to make our decisions better if we knew exactly  how much money we're were approving and allocating um one more oh no you already talked  about the lawyers okay san Diego Symphony   san Diego Youth Symphony is the Opus Day um my  question here is is this an afterchool program   or a summer camp um or is it a regular and I  can Yeah Dr reyes uh Miss Yeah that's the Opus   um Miss Montgomery or or actually we have Omar  uh yeah I'd like to bring Omar up if you would   like to uh

102talk about our youth symphony  sure thing san Diego Youth Symphony has   been providing music classes during the out  school times for the past few years so we're   extending their contract to continue next year  okay yes because I was my next comment was don't   we have BAPA teachers but if it's an after school  I understand there's a difference yeah thank you um yes that's everything for me yes um page six of  10 Capital Advisors Group LLC my question is the   cost service is $5,000 and I can appreciate what  they bring to the table i know becoming uh before   I was on the board they're the ones that I heard  loudly and understood their presentation when   they were warning us about upcoming looming budget  deficits that was October 2022 remember and what   I'm asking here it says

103that we also uh and any  pre-approved travel expenses generally speaking   speaking what's typically what typically do we pay  in travel expenses because they're charging 5,000   a month so as far as I I can recall we haven't we  pay for we haven't paid for anything for them no   should should that be then deleted or Yeah because  because I know when when they they have come to to   uh so so for example they're the ones also that  the budget um uh the county right budget and so   they do a lot of work for lobbying and and fiscal  right and so as far as I know unless uh you know   some different Mr pong we have not paid for any  travel for them correct they haven't requested   any travel reimbursement so should we not should  we not be

104including this last statement plus shall   say I can piggy back on yours do they charge when  we tell them to come here and do a presentation   for that travel no they haven't in the past and  I guess we can delete it delete that last oh it   says pre-approved who need to approve it right  so it would come before us so just seems like uh   loosey goosey statement at the end if we could  correct it possibly okay thank you that was it yes   sir so so uh can can M can you make the adjustment  and then just uh follow up with him and then part   of 11C is 11 CM trustee Tolston yes um there was  actually an inquiry by a member of the public   um about the music star the music star funds  um and

105if you could explain a little bit more   on that i think I'm sorry so where you at what uh  sorry eight of 10 eight of 10 there's just there's   concern that that is a lot of money being allotted  where they this individual is asking if um it   could be allotted for other things if or it could  be considered music star so I just wanted you to   explain a little more so they can for transparency  sake sure thank you to explain to them you explain   to uh and how that talk about music star but  also how that um works with opus correct okay   great so um obviously our goal is to expand these  experiences for our disagregated communities and   to offer these type of things to our unduplicated  students so uh Opus has been operating at

106four   schools and then offering their services at two  other schools um so our goal was to expand that   experience to other school sites so with the help  of our business department we're able to submit   out an RFP um and vet through that process so now  we're going to offer these type of services at 13   different schools and um OP is focused primarily  on fourth through sixth grade but we're going to   focus on expanding this from K through sixth grade  so we want to expose kids to music experience to   see if there's any hidden talents there or just  for them to learn and understand that they have   access to music okay thank you so much may I ask  May I piggyback on that question don't go away   Omar so where are these schools where are these 

10713 schools that you're um planning or hoping to   open so there's 13 of them i don't I don't have  them all memorized right now um they are spelled   out in the RFP um but the way we're we looked at  the school sites was uh looking at the highest   unduplicated number sites and those are the  school sites that have been added so we're   continuing at the six current sites and then  added the additional sites and at the current   six sites where we have opus like I mentioned  they only offer services fourth through six so   we're expanding it K through third so somebody  has an RFP that we can Okay oh perfect thank you okay so the sites are for music star for  music star uh Castle Park Harborside Loma   Verde Cook Silverwing Valley Vista Vista  Square

108Los Altos Lauderbach Montgomery   Hellcrest Otai and Wolf Canyon those are the  13 total sites thank you appreciate where   they're located any other questions these  will sorry these would also be a same as   um opus after school programs yes this is all  um after school beyond the bell activities   okay and oh yeah the explan learning and we  give them these students they will also get   the instruments right to take home instruments  instructions a variety of different instruments   as well okay they'll get to take them home  in the experience yeah that's awesome um   can we please be invited when they do showcases  absolutely well maybe like after a few practices thank you thank you so much move to approve 11c  second moved by Vice President Deayo seconded by   clerk Domigvantes uh recording secretary please  call the vote

109dominguez I tolston I dominguez   Cvantes i I yes uh motion carries 5-0 item 11D  trustee Ramirez Dominguez yes my question here   was for the temporary principles that we will  be um agreeing to um is this the for a temporary   principle do they come before us the board  and do questions or is something that's just   um decided by our leadership yeah so correct so it  doesn't go to the board so basically this is to it   allows us to cover a school when a principal  is going to be absent i'm not talking about   a day let's say somebody has a a principal has  situation where he or she can't be there for two   weeks or more or a week and a half you know for  extended period of time then you know we can't   have a school

110without a principal so it allows  us to and usually we get retired uh principles so   we just get them and they're I don't want to say  substitutes but they're acting principles just to   cover until we we uh the person comes back or we  replace the person or Yeah my follow-up question   was do we have like a pool of principles or is it  Yes we have a pool so we have a pool and and then   um we usually they're usually the same ones so we  just uh call them and sometimes you know they are   retired most of them so they have stuff going  on in their lives that's why they're retired   so if they can't make it then we go to the next  one okay just a quick question are they former   usually former district employees

111or uh most of  them are former district uh principles and they   want to come back thank you move to approve  11D second moved by uh Vice President Tomo   seconded by trustee Ramirez Dominguez recording  secretary please call the vote ramirez Dominguez   hi tolston hi dominguez hi hi yes motion carries  uh 50 item 11E trustee Ramirez Dominguez yes um   just to consistency um this was also something I  addressed last month um about again if we're under   an investigation um I believe that we we would be  very better served until the investigation is over   if we had like an interim person to be able to  because I don't want us to lose opportunities to   create and foster relationships with universities  but I also just wanted to expose that that maybe   other idea to provide another person to give 

112this authority until investigations are over   this is um Dr reyes so the the authorization is  for for the superintendent of HR to be able to   uh enter into agreements with uh for we we  get a lot of internships for many different   things internships and practicums from speech  pathologists to psychologists to counselors uh   so this is an ongoing practice that that that we  do to make sure that our two things well three   things one is it helps uh uh it supports our  schools with with um more than more folks also   uh those people that are doing internships  many times once they finish we're able to   contract them and they stay with us and three it  allows us to vet and get the the best qualified   uh employees train with us and stay with us so  uh

113I believe that uh at this point it would uh   hinder that relationship and the work that  we're doing to make sure that we're getting   those internships yes sorry that's exactly why  I understand the importance of having those   relationships um but I also understand the the  fact that if we are having the person that we're   giving the authority under investigation that  we should maybe um provide another person who   could continue to foster those relationships  so Dr reyes unless I missed something I don't   believe that the assistant superintendent of HR  is under investigation so I move to approve i'll   second is this a point of discussion yes you can  just Okay i I know where this might be coming from   there was a statement made from our school  district to the voice of San Diego that one

114had   been initiated and that really if that's not true  that needs to be clarified because it's not fair   to the assistant superintendent of HR and it's not  fair that um that we continue with that cloud if   it's not a true statement he there it was reported  out in from uh that it that it was that he right   so it's and and I'm seconding it just because  I'm seconding it and I know that the people   who will be hurt the most are the actual student  teachers student nurses and the people that need   the internships because it's very difficult to  find spaces for this for this work that's why I   second it but thank you for the clarification so  there is a motion there's a Second vote Dominguez   name Tolston I Dominguez I with caution that  this

115gets clarified in the public because if   it's not true it needs to be made that statement  thank you I you uh yes motion carries 41 and we   did state that he is okay yes okay um that was 11  E item 11 L trustee Tolston oh L hold on just a   second that was fast i just had a quick question  on that um let me pull my sheets over here g okay um in one of the sections where  did I see it there's a portion here   did I get the wrong wrong one i may have gotten  the wrong one um YMCA yeah the YMCA did I get the   wrong yeah but there was a portion I'm reading  i might have gotten the wrong letter because   I cannot find where I saw that there was a a 

116pre-tax and a post tax so I may have gotten the   wrong item okay yeah no I think that's incorrect  move to approve 11 L second ramirez Dominguez hi   tolston hi dominguez hi tamayo hi yes motion  carries 5-0 110 trustee Ramirez Dominguez yes um I have a question i would like to know how long   did it take each of the 43 schools  to come up with this plan dr reyes oh 110 approve school plan the sipsus oh how long  miss Perez would you like to speak to this thank   you i uh then thank you for that question i have  to tell you that the principles work hours and   hours and not just at one time but throughout the  year on the SIPA because it is a living document   and it's not that they do this alone

117they have  input and they develop this with their school site   council so not only hours inputting the ideas from  school site council into the document but meeting   at school site council going over their budget  going over the goals um discussing and voting on   uh the expenditures and items to help move their  students forward so they work tireless hours   uh I can't tell you exactly how many but uh  I know the hours that I spend reading them   uh you know is is is right up there as well and  so I know we all work very hard and and they get   a lot of support from our department and um we're  very proud of all of our schools for completing   their SIPs thank you and since you mentioned the  amount of hours it took you to read

118them do you   uh and and there's a reason why I understand that  this is a process that has and that this each one   of these reports of the 43 reports deserve that  each one of the members of this board have the   time to read it and have the time to to appreciate  all the hard work that you guys have put into it   um but I feel that if the members of this  board specifically me were given the copy   of these reports on Monday at 11:30 uh midday  um that only allows me almost 36 to 40 hours to   read all of them and it takes around an hour to  read each one of these papers so with 43 of them   in a huge very heavy box um it would mean that  I would need to have

119at least 43 hours just to   sit and read and I feel it is a disservice to your  hard work and to the ability for us to approve it   knowing that that hard work is being done that  I would like to request that this is tabled to   the next school board meeting afternoon so can  you um first can you explain to the board can   you share with the board why the importance of  approving it in June uh uh especially because uh   the ability for them to use the money and spend  the money absolutely and so I I do want to say   that these plans are approved by the school site  council and the school site council are elected   members of the community and by ed code they are  the first uh group that approves this because  

120this plan is for their school site so there are  half of parents and community and half of staff   members that provide input to into this so for me  my first thing that I look at is it is approved   by their school site council and so that's that  first you know rubber stamp and then my department   we look for compliance we make sure that every  box is checked everything is crossed that budget   that expenditures are allowable that is what  our expertise is in doing that so that we can   I can confidently bring these to you saying that  they have been checked uh principles get feedback   from us and they many times go back and revise  some things and so we do that hard work but I   do understand that yes it is the school board's  uh

121responsibility to finally approve them it is   critical that at this meeting they are approved  so that funds can be released July 1st so that   they can use those title one funds and LCAP funds  to begin the actions that they plan for in their   SIPA the Sips are living breathing documents there  is another revision that happens in the fall and   you will be seeing these again in December and so  we're constantly going back and revising because   we need to be responsive to um you know the needs  of our students our schools and our data and so   um I I appreciate your comments but I did want to  make sure that I stated that you know we do check   for all of these things to make sure that they  are ready to go when we send them

122to you thank   you it's your And you also pulled it okay i  do appreciate Trusty Karen how much time it   takes because I also look through them um and um  I had two more days than you over the weekend and   um and by the way I received two copies for  Kellogg School but I did not receive McMillan   just if you could send me McMillan and I'll bring  you the other um Kellogg excuse me yeah the other   Kellogg School um of note though I know that we're  not including the charter schools right so charter   they have their own board and all of that correct  i get that yes charter schools do not write SIPAS   they write their LCAP right so on that note  though uh on November 21st when we received   the board update with the

123title one uh monies  listed out the different schools um the schools   that were not listed on there and there could be  a very good reason for it but there's a reason   for me stating there Jeff was not on there Liberty  Marshall Moroa Salt Creek i get stomayor because   they only been there a year but maybe that's a  mistake and Wolf Canyon on that one pager that   Mark sent us on that board update in November  November 21st those schools are not listed as   receiving title one monies there's a connection  correct because they're they're not title one   schools okay but out of the out of the above seven  schools Marshall and Stomayor are reporting title   one projections on their SPSA so if they're not  title one schools why are they going to receive   title that's my question

124i want you to kind of  get an idea not follow with the rest so so I'm   going to answer and then I'm going to give it to  Lonnie because just to make sure I'm right sure so   so they're not getting money this year but they're  projected so so so uh they might have received the   the 35% or 40% correct that's correct at the last  school board meeting the board approved for these   two schools to go schoolwide for title one because  they did meet the qualification for targeted and   the school board approved them to go schoolwide  so they plan for next year and so this 40% they   are projected under their percentage and perhaps  Mr pon can answer that a little bit better than I   can but what happens is if a school is 35 to

12540%  they qualify for targeted support but as we've   explained in in in board meetings before targeted  support is very difficult because then you have   to document which student and the schoolwide gives  more flexibility and so the schoolwide they still   get the amount allocated according to their number  of uh students and percentage so so so for example   Smayori is a very good example it's the first year  so because they didn't have students before they   wouldn't qualify because they have no students  so this year they actually qualified for targeted   which is between 35 and 40 the board approved them  to be a schoolwide i'm with you projected i'm I'm   with you on it except for there's a couple of  schools that we identified that were in the   high 20s which is why the confusion am I going 

126okay I thought it was 40 i get it if we got some   wiggle room rightfully so everything doesn't have  to be sometimes not black and white there's those   other variables but just so that you understand  when I'm looking at this that's what I'm seeing   okay the other five schools okay here's here so  the other five schools meaning Jeffers Liberty   uh Moroa Salt Creek and Wolf Canyon they do not  include title one funds on their budget summary   page of their do you call it what's how do you  say it just Sipsa thank you trying to look for   trying to look for that vowel on the on their  budget summary page over there sipsa but they do   have lowincome children so I'm just making these  statements for followup please but they don't they   haven't reached the 35

127but that right but that's  my point that you have other schools that have   uh a lower percentage than these schools that are  higher i just wanted us to double check that okay   please and then the schools reporting title one  projections on their sips on that page they do   not report any carryover dollar amount except for  Kellogg kellogg reports carryover dollar amount   so did is that Kellogg's uh typo or should they  not have reported it or do they know what their   title one projection dollar is which in this  would change their total budget that they had   and all of the SIPAS with the exception  of Kelloggs would need to be updated so so go back to the first question yeah so so  can can you share regarding Soul Creek Liberty   uh Wolf Canyon Jeffers Muroka um

128so yes  to my knowledge there aren't any schools   um that have greater percentages that are not  title one than schools that are already title   one in fact I got my recent uh spreadsheet from Mr  pong and I checked all of those and so we would be   watching those schools that drop below 30% that  I'll share whatever the the schools that I have   I'll send over to you okay absolutely thank you  and and on the SIPA excuse me the the carryover   the carryover yes you're right i'll have to  look at that particular one in my department   we kind of divide up all of the SIPs to read and  so I'll look at that particular one but we do not   plan for title one carryover um we plan for LCAP  carryover but not for title one uh

129carryover we   try to minimize the amount of carryover and those  mounts are not given to principles until the fall   of the next school year but I'll definitely take  a look at that one and uh perhaps there was you   know some sort of um they they do these little  drop down bars and sometimes they put carryover   when it's really supposed to be just title one  so I'll take a look at that one so on that note   though I thought I heard you earlier say that we  needed the LCAP approved because to release the   title one money in July but right now you're  saying that the money is going to be released   in fall no so the LCAP does not have title one  so it is the title one uh funds I meant excuse   me correct and

130this is for their projected 2526  their 2526 allocation does not include carryover so so so it's for the projected 2526 allocation  for it to be able for schools to be able to use   starting July 1st i'll ask for your tolerance  i still can't reconcile the two statements   that the it need not that not that I'm  leaning towards not approving it no but   what I'm saying is what I heard was that  the it needed to be approved so that the   monies could be be released in July and right  now I think I'm hearing fall am I hearing two   different things or am I hearing apples and  oranges or I can clarify and then Mr pong can   um you know uh help me out a little bit here  so when I talk about fall I'm talking about  

131carryover okay so there's title one allocation  and then there's carryover the 2526 allocation   uh is a set amount that principles get this is  your budget plan for it but if they say "But I   think I have $20,000 carryover." No no no no no  don't spend that yet we're not We need to wait   so do not spend your carryover do not plan for  it and Mr punk can clarify is that enough yes   you buzzed it okay thank you you got it thank  you for your patience you're welcome was that   all for that that's it move to approve second  ramirez Dominguez i approve but I will kindly   request that we're given ample time to review i  trust that you guys have do a great process but   also we would like to have eyes and be able to 

132make the most educated decision so I appro um I   Tolston yes dominant yes yes yes motion carries  50 11U I believe was trustee Ramirez Dominguez so I wanted to start by commending our  superintendent for making the change   um and to incorporate it in case of construction  bids or computer bids to provide us with a the   competitive prices to show us how you  are choosing to bring forward the most   cost-effective option the problem in this case  is that we're talking about feeding our children   we're talking about nourishment and not just the  cheapest option i recommend I recommend that a   new table is created to show calories sugars and  carbs these breads that these breads have let's   focus on what would be the most nutritious option  for our students especially because we are in the   middle of

133a behavioral issue uproar we are giving  our children we're pumping them full of sugar um   and then we're asking them to sit still and and  we want to make sure that we're providing them   the food that they need in order to be able to  concentrate and learn learn properly i've this   is why I've been so adamant about being fiscally  responsible because I do understand that having   a healthier option might not be the cheapest  option but if we're fiscally responsible in other   areas we can make sure that we're providing  our children not just food but nourishment move to approve second Ramirez  Dominguez nay tolston dominguez   a Tamayo I Yes motion carries  50 11W trustee Ramirez Dominguez and it's the same obviously not I'm not I'm saying  that we shouldn't be giving our children milk or   or

134cheese but juice it's again we should be  looking at more nutrition opt nutritional   options for students to have especially because  I know that most of our schools do research   first then lunch and then go sit down so and go  try to get something out of instruction you know   so again I we need to make the link between high  sugar content and behavioral issues i we want to   we want to again be nutritionally conscious in  these areas so that was my discussion moment may I   thank you yeah so with uh Trustee Karen uh pulling  and identifying these items does this mean we're   what are we going to do about that are we going  to look for these other uh better choices dr reyes   yeah Mr b the could you share with the board  a couple things

135one is uh when we do the RFPs   uh who qualifies to put in a bid and then uh  what are the standards that they need to follow   so when we go out to bid these are um public  bids where um we send them out to vendors and   um they're also um posted in um business journals  and in the newspaper and so there are very strict   guidelines for um the breakfast program and  national school lunch program there's a whole   um we have dietitians actually on staff  that um help to plan out the daily meals   and the weekly meals so they look at all the  nutrition information um throughout the week   um and actually a whole calendar um so  we have to meet very strict guidelines   um for the meals um which include whole wheat and  um

136the state the USDA is also implementing sugar   sugar guidelines so those will be coming in also  and and do we meet all the guidelines yes we do   you say we're getting new sugar guidelines and I  am excited about the new sugar guidelines coming   in from the USDA because that means we'll have  better food um but until then I believe that we   should not only be meeting the least most level  but we should strive for doing better i know that   that is something this school district is proud  of doing the best we can so just meeting the limit   is not good enough move to approve dominguez n  Tolston I Dominguez Igarte yes motion carries 41 item 11X Trustee Tolston that was me oh that was  trusty Omega sorry approve renewal of customer   agreement with Frontline Technologies

137uh a few  months ago I asked about the how substitutes   were informed when there was a vacancy so that  they could you know jump in and and record it and   at that time I shared that there was some kind of  app that this one substituted said that she didn't   have at the time uh knowledge of and therefore she  had thought well all the teachers are showing up   now I guess but uh she found out through another  substitute that there was this little app at the   time uh it wasn't made public because we didn't  know I suppose but um afterwards I spoke with I   don't I know Mr pong was there and maybe Mr romero  and one of you recalled that there was some kind   of a little app out there could you uh clarify on 

138that and do all substitutes have access to that   yeah so it's actually an app and and they  have more information but it's actually an app   um that we we don't support the app because the  the substitutes need to pay a fee it's a very   small fee but they need to pay a fee and it's part  of the the uh so it's not part of our uh how we   do business but they have the option of going  that way and get they actually um it's almost   like they get called beforehand right or they get  this fast correct but we have to give them access   to it right don't we have to give them permission  no they they they subscribe and they pay a fee but   don't we own the data don't we own the information  we

139would be have to allow someone access to it's   our teachers recording or or Yeah but we we it  doesn't go through us it does not go through us   um maybe we can get some clarification mr romero  yeah thank you um Mr mia Svantes this is there's   not just one app there's multiple apps um that uh  are available for employees to purchase through a   third party uh what they do is they collect all  of the uh data that's available uh for multiple   school sites so a substitute teacher can pay $5  a month uh for the app and then they can click   which school districts they work for and then  this app provides them uh access to when those   those sub positions get uh posted so it's not any  it's not any sooner than they're notified through  

140the district but it provides them a breath of  of uh options um in real time so uh in a sense   it does give them more more availability of these  assignments it's it's sounding like an interface   just kind of Okay all right just do our staff do  our teachers know u and our uh instructional aids   know is this just for certificated or so it's not  it's for for all of our staff that's managed under   frontline one of the things that that we still  have and you know now that you're bringing this   up it'll be a great opportunity for us to to go  into um maybe a little training for our teachers   teachers have a priority to select their preferred  substitutes right so they can create a list of   their top let's just say three so they

141can create  and the system will call out those three before   they call out anyone else so our teachers most  of our teachers are very familiar with Frontline   which used to be called ASOP uh they've been using  it for years um but uh you know one of the things   that we've been looking at is uh how to provide a  better experience we have the best substitute fill   rates in the county no one has higher substitute  fill rates than Chulvis Elementary School District   in the 42 districts so we're doing something  right but we also want to make sure that our   employees are substitutes get work um so we're  kind of trying to balance that um that all   the time um but I think you know providing our  teachers with uh maybe a small training on how   to

142prioritize their substitutes will come in handy  thank you thank you move to approve second ramirez   Dominguez i Tolston I dominguez Alvantes i Yes  motion carries 5 11 Y trustee Ramirez Dominguez   yes um I read it and the details that I got I  read it online and it at the bottom of our online   page in section two right at the end it says "In  compliance with article 13 one two three." Yes   section 36E of the California Constitution the  Board of Education of the Chilowst Elementary   School District has determined to spend the  monies received from the education protection   account as provided in exhibit Attached here to  and incorporated here in by this reference exhibit   A is nowhere to be found can you please provide  us with exhibit A i couldn't find it either so are you talking

143about the actual resolution  about where the money and how it's been spending   um that's why I read it because it says  that the district has determined to spend   the money received okay and it's provided  by exhibit A and it's not there so exhibit   A is the actual resolution right Mr p i  don't think so no I apologize it's for   some reason it's not on here but I do have  it in front of me um so the it just shows   the amount that we received through the education  protection account and it's uh 35 million694,987 um that we receive in revenue through this  account why don't we take a break right now   then we can provide copies to us and  then some on the for the public and   then we can come back and vote on this 

144and so we'll take a 10 minute break for   that and M punk uh also may make copies  for the public in case they're interested During the break exhibit A was provided  to the board and uh photocopied for the   public um so that they could review and  we can make a decision on this item are   there any further questions after looking  at exhibit A trustee Ramirez Dominguez so basically as I look at it um all of our  funding is going to a local controller funding   sources and and that is what it's like  explained to through in the bottom right correct so on the top portion  it shows that we're receiving   about 35.7 million in revenue from the  education protection account and we use   all of those funds on instruction  um on our instructional programs you have

145a question question uh President  Ugarte the addition of this missing   uh exhibit A does that meet the requirement of  it having been posted uh S by Sunday at 4 PM dr reyes Mr b does it uh the the attachment  so I I know the agenda item is here but   uh do we need to have all the uh agenda  all the all the attachments included well this one was not attached on there  but we're adding it as an exhibit no did the the question I think is does the does  it need to be posted if if the agenda item is   posted does the exhibit also need to be posted  in order for us to vote on this item yeah so   so I don't have the answer for that uh I don't I  don't believe he does

146but I I uh don't have the   the answer for that so my understanding is that  as long as the item is posted as an agenda as an   agenda item because the board can modify an item  through motions um and most of the item is here   except for the exhibit A which is the amount right  um we we can consider this uh the the public can't   surely protest uh the action but we we surely  can consider this and it's not an expenditure   it's just letting us know that this is what we  have in LCFF funding sources right right not an   expenditure we're not meeting money we're not not  spending money with this item with this item yeah any other question so we hearing that  it's anformational it'sformational to   let us know how much is in the

147LCFF funding  source the attachment is informationational   uhhuh we we vote on um adopting it so that  we can have the money to spend but we aren't   actually spending it it's the information  of how much money we have for LCFF does   that make sense well then it means we're  authorizing the use the use of it which   is spending and what's the implication  Mr pong if we don't vote on this item we can bring it back to the next meeting let's do  that can we Can we table them thank you do I have   a motion mo oh go who was first me i was first  recording secretary ramirez Dominguez to table   it yes i Tolston i Dominguez Alvantes hi tamayo  hi ugarte yes motion carries 5-0 to table 11s trustee Ramirez Dominguez i have two questions regarding

148this so and I know  it's happened before i just wanted to know what   happens if an event is passed so it's retroactive  i understand it's retroactive but in the case that   this board votes would have voted not to approve  a retroactive expense i want to know what happens   yeah so correct so the ratification so let's  say there's an expenditure that is or an event   let's say somebody attends an event and it wasn't  pre-approved then we would bring it up here to be   ratified if the board uh votes not to ratify then  the person going would be responsible but if the   person already went correct then so they would  have to pay they would have to pay okay i just   wanted to know um my second question um or my  second comment in this I see

149that they are too   um traveling for our superintendent and in the  interest of fiscal responsibility and because   I think that leaders should lead by example  i would vote not to approve those two travel   um um schedule traveled for our superintendent and  then Trustee Dominguez you also pulled this item   yes in fairness to and no disrespect to anyone  but in fairness to Trustee Tolston I think uh I   don't know if she was informed or not and she's  new and uh it's not fair to make her pay for it   because she doesn't know and the fact that hasn't  been here as long as me two years right that's not   very long but uh it's not fair that it wouldn't be  paid but I I I would motion that we do pay it but   in future explain to

150us what the implications are  if it wasn't pre-approved already on something um   but I do have a question on the second one uh the  state of the city address why did they she have to   pay $20 i mean it was free parking parking i was  informed that we can re get parking reimbursed   oh well no i didn't I didn't know what they were  charging but um Okay well I don't have a problem   with that but um Dr reyes unless you can uh share  with us how critical it is that you travel on   these trips in the interest of and no just respect  to you sir but like the for the Kaza Institute   1279 it's local and the registration is 750 is  the difference for for what yeah so I I can do   the following for

151the Kalsa Institute because  uh so the Kala Institute um as you know I'm   member of the California Association of Latino  Superintendent and Administrators and I'm actually   and uh this is for the the Ka has a summer  institutes for for California and it's going to be   here in San Diego and I'm actually um they asked  me to be uh one of the the person who's going to   be opening the event so uh I will be attending to  You're hosting I'm not hosting but I'm opening the   event okay speaking at the event and um uh it is  uh and then I'll be representing the district for   those uh three days it's a three-day event um  I I'll be honest with you I didn't want to ask   him to sponsor it for me because I prefer if  I'm

152representing the district I believe that   I should be you know the district should should  uh can pay for it since I'm represent district   i'm not doing it on my own m uh the other one  the one in um the leading this is the one that   you approved that the board approved last year and  it's a cohort of uh superintendent uh throughout   it's about 25 superintendents uh in the country  that um got selected to be part of this cohort   where they look at um um it's different um um  they do for example um strategic uh strategic   communication strategies they talk about uh fiscal  um you know how to how how to how to uh do fiscal   uh strategies for for districts um uh you work  with the strategic advisors regarding different   political situations that are that

153districts are  going through and you get the opportunity to meet   and work with other superintendents throughout the  districts uh it's a one-year it was a one-year um program and this is the end of it so the first one  So the first part was the one that I uh it was I   can't remember where it was but it was somewhere  else that was the first where was it i think you   were Chicago h Chicago that's right chicago and  then um throughout the for the whole year it was   uh through um a zoom uh all the trainings and  all the all the workshops and all the work that   I did with the superintendent and uh this is  the closing one more question the galsa we pay   uh like a membership fee we pay something yeah  it's a

154membership fee for individuals my my my   um my recommendation is that they pay for it  because we pay membership already so you're   already a member you should be able to go without  paying and uh the Washington DC trip obviously   this is a vote i'm just voicing my opinion okay  uh the Washington DC one only because it's the la   the last half of the cohort uh but um I just  especially you know how tight we are and and   Miss Tolston just so you know for two and a half  years the rest of the board has been dealing with   me on on like I don't think you should go that  that's that's what I've been doing so it's nothing   personal yeah and you didn't know so that's that's  important that you know but um I would not

155I would   move if the president would entertain that uh the  for the Kalsa that we pull that and Dr reyes asked   Galsa since he is a member that there they pay it  and the Washington DC trip be approved cautiously   and with it's like one of those expenses that you  don't want to pay but you feel like you have to   and just so you know I think you know the board  uh board that that uh if you look at my travels   they're very limited yes and if you know if  you I don't know how much you've seen other   superintendents throughout the district throughout  the county or throughout California they go to   a lot of places and I'm very cautious for two  reasons one the expenditure but the other one is   I don't want to be out

156of I want to be here so So  I'm very cautious on where I go and I understand   yeah i want to just chime in a little bit on that  the it's it's kind of like I I look at it as CTA   i'm a member of CTA i pay dues for CTA but we  have a summer institute and there is an enrollment   fee and and there's a fee for going and and  registration fee and so I have to pay that fee in   order to participate in their summer institute and  I think that's what this looks like to me is that   even though you're a member you still have to pay  the fee in order to participate in the institute   otherwise they're not going to allow you to go  to the institute i mean for me I

157I know there's   grants but but I But he said that they offered to  pay at least no no no no i said um I could have   asked him to see if they could have at least for  the first day because the first day I'm speaking   uh the first day I'm speaking be more similar  to not the other days just the first day I'm   speaking it would be similar to um CSBA csba and  so for boards we have the California School Board   Association um we pay a member well we used to  pay a membership for that and then to attend their   um their conference we had to pay for the  conference right and and we normally used   to pay for that until I came along and we  didn't and we decided that we shouldn't so   um

158similar to that right that we but again  what I'm say what I'm saying here is that   uh the board approved for the district to be  member of Kulsa for the superintendent to have   professional development i think that he's also  entitled to that um I think if we want to make   the the new policy of moving forward to limit the  amount of travel I think that's that's something   that I would be comfortable with uh but I mean  this is in 11 15 days mhm so if a quick comment   so if anything maybe moving forward maybe we can  see if we can get a discount with council yeah if   you participate yeah and and like like I said  before I'm very I mean hardly ever travel yeah   no I understand i understand i just want us to 

159keep that thank you for bring it forward there's   no conflict of interest with that um I'm going  to move to approve SS second Ramirez Dominguez if um with I don't know if it's we're going to  move forward i don't understand that part like   is like we agree to this but are we agreeing that  moving forward we will have more limitations to li   to traveling is that what we're all agreeing  to okay i Tolston I Domingoes I Tamaya I Yes   motion carries 5 public hearing the public hearing  section provides the public with an opportunity   to address the board on specific items persons  wishing to address the board on any public hearing   item must complete a request to be heard card and  submit it to the recording secretary before the   start of the meeting speakers are requested

167million the ICO is required by statute to report  compliance of the measures to ensure the following   that the bond funds are expended for construction  reconstruction rehabilitation or replacement of   school facilities or the acquisition or lease  of real property for school facilities uh   that no bonds are used for any teacher or  administrative sal salaries or operating   expenditures to report and review the annual  independent financial and annual performance   audits and then to do this presentation here  today to make the annual report to the board so how do we ensure we meet our responsibilities  uh we have quarterly meetings throughout the year   and some of the next few slides will  highlight some of the objectives we   covered in each meeting all of the documents  we review and all of the meeting minutes are   posted online on the district's

168website so that  includes any questions we've asked throughout   the meeting um so everything's uh pretty open  and transparent and they are public meetings   so in September we elected uh the chair  and vice chair we also reviewed Mr pong   uh provided us the status of measure VV and  measure M projects and we also were provided   uh information on measure AA since it would  be on the ballot that upcoming November in   December we reviewed the status of  the bond measure programs as well and then in March uh this was more robust  meeting we re reviewed the current status of   the measure VV and measure M uh bond projects we  discussed this at uh annual report to CBSD we also   uh reviewed the audits um at that time and we  approved the audits at that time as well

169and   then we uh Mr pong and the district team  provided provided us a needs assessment   and that was reviewed during that meeting  um as well and in the May I'm sorry the   May meeting uh was pretty robust too we  actually did a pre-construction sidewalk   on the Valley Lindo Elementary modernization  project so we're really excited to see that   come to fruition and uh you'll see it  on some slides in uh the in a little bit okay so this slide is the tentative issuances  scheduled uh versus what was authorized for   measure VV and measure M under measure VV we have  150 million authorized and we have issued 100   million so far in series A and then in uh measure  M we have 300 million authorized uh we have issued   uh the district has issued 112.5 between series 

170A 112.5 million between series A and series B   and then the tentative schedule for  measure AA is still in development uh this is a summary of the ballot language  for measure VV that was passed in 2018 so it   details what the 150 million a bond should be  used for so this is for security technology   and energy efficiency and aging system  improvements as well as repairs construct   equip classrooms and educational facilities  and reduce overcrowding uh there was 55% voter   approval or 55% voter approval was required and  uh the district received 67.75 voter approval um so this slide here details uh measure VB  series A issuance which was used uh to pay   the 60 million bond anticipation note issued in  2019 and then the remaining used for additional   district projects detailed on this slide is  in summary

171is the summary of expenditures of   measure VV the current projects um on here were  the uh I guess the biggest one was the uh Maxwell   Transportation Center which you had a grant  opening for uh at the beginning of the school   year and then there is also um in in projects  projects in progress are security systems and   playground renovation projects that would um until  this series a 60 u million bond anticipation note and then detailed on this slide is a  summary of expenditures for measure VV   um completed in the completed at the top is  the bond anticipation note that I just went   over and then projects in progress and planning  are uh highlighted below the current project   um I guess right now these are all future projects  underneath here except for uh the board approved   in

172January January 2025 the HVAC replacement  and roof renovation project at Tiffany's Um this is a summary of the ballot language for  Measure M that was passed in 2020 it details   that the 300 million of bond should be only  used for repair and upgrades to educational   facilities classrooms throughout the districts  as well as district-wide solar installation and   staff housing project a 55% voter approval  was required and uh we received 55.42% so this slide is a summary of expenditures a  measure M series A for which 50 million was   issued most of the projects have been  completed between 2020 and 2024 and it   focused on solar and HVAC projects  the remaining 7.3 million that you   see here is reserved for the Valley  Lindo school modernization project and I could slow down if you guys need  to see the

173slide longer and then this   slide here summarize uh this here was  the 62 million that was issued in 2023   and most of the anticipated projects are in  the planning phase and uh with the roar HVAC   and roof renovation likely moving forward  with the bidding process later this summer this slide was put together by the district on  behalf of the ICO committee and it summarizes   the list of expenditures between bond  measures BV and measure M and what phase   they are in for the 2025 and 2024 school  year uh approximately measure V and measure   uh measure M and measure VV total about  five million in expenditures and as you   can see here a majority of the funds were  spent on the Maxwell Transportation Center and uh this is a summary of the ballot  measure that was just

174passed measure AA   it was passed in November of 2024 it details  that 360 million of bond should be used only   for repair and upgrades to educational  facilities and classrooms throughout the   district it received a 61.72 voter approval  um and it required the 55% at least a 55% um here are some pictures of uh  Tiffany's HVAC and renovation project and some really cool security cameras at different  schools as well we also took some pictures at our   pre-construction walk at Valley Lindo um  but no one seems to remember who actually   took the pictures and so uh we don't they  didn't make the cut for this presentation um and then every year the committee reviews  and approves the independent performance and   financial audit prepared by a third party which  is the Wilkinson Hadley King Company the district   received

175an unmodified clean opinion with no  audit findings which is the best opinion possible   and we also um reviewed the performance audit  which complied with the Prop 39 requirements   um and measure VV and measure M  ballot measure requirements as well   the ICOC committee reviewed and approved this 2023  2024 audit report at its March 12th 2025 meeting based on the information provided to us by the  district and independent auditors to the ICO   the committee concludes that the expenditures  measure in measure VV and measure M follow the   requirements of the California Constitution  in summary the committee feels that all the   bond expenditures have complied with the  ballot language and no bonds have been used   for teacher or admin salaries or operating  expenditures and that the ICO reviewed and   approved the annual independent performance  audit and annual finance audit

176for this year finally I would like to thank and recognize  the district staff um that attended these   meetings and spent their evenings with us they  prepared the relevant documents they prepared   the agendas they answered endless number of  questions from uh the committee members as   well so thank you assistant superintendent  Mark Pong uh Lisa Brandon uh the facilities   team including Mr silva Miss El Miss Esmeralda um  and the Balfur beauty team that uh would attend   the meetings as well so opening it up for  questions that I'll probably direct to super   uh assistant attendant Mark Pong thank you  Miss Bautista we have one speaker Berta Lopez i thought you were going to take questions  from the board first no we actually have to   do in order that it's the public and then  then it's the board okay

177let let my phone   reboot is it rebooting okay yes it'll be  i'll give you don't start the time i won't   please that's why I kept going in because  my phone was not charging it's been busy it's coming it's coming it's coming it's okay thank you it's almost here there it is there you go thank you so much for uh  being so patient um it's no secret I went ahead   and I uh when the bond measure came up in November  of this past year I went ahead and I opposed I I   opposed it i opposed the bond mainly because the  district did not have a set plan as how they were   going to spend the money so and and I was I own  two houses in Chula Vista which I pay major money   for both houses

178in taxes and you know as a teacher  of course I want to make sure that the schools are   in in very good condition and but we pay a lot of  money for Sweet Water we pay a lot of money for   uh for the for uh Chula Vista however Chula  Vista and also Sweetwater we're not in the   right track so what I'm going to do is just  read to you i came to the meeting on May 7th   and I think the committee was very surprised  to see anybody there but I'm just going to   go ahead and read what I what I said good  evening committee members as a parent and   taxpayers I'm deeply concerned about the lack  of transparency and apparent delays related   to measure M our 300 million bond approved by  voters in 2020 this

179bond was supposed to was   supposed to support critical projects like staff  housing and early childhood education facilities   four years later we have very few details and  very little visible prog progress the citizens   bond oversight committee should be requesting  building plans especially regarding the proposed   staff housing as far as I know the committee  hasn't received sufficient information i've   also heard concerns that grading on the new  projects is now a full year behind schedule   in addition there are troubling reports that are  that the district missed a key deadline to order   the HVAC equipment delaying needed upgrades that  were supposed to be completed during the summer   what happened to the vision we were promised with  Measure M please look into these issues and share   a clear project timeline and demand that bond  funds are being managed responsibly our

180students   staff and community deserve accountability thank  you and I'm just asking for a clear vision that's   all I'm asking and I know that all the committee  members that were there were even surprised   because they kept telling me "We are we are also  hearing you Miss Lopez however we have not been   receiving that information so we just need to be  a little bit more transparent and communicative   not only to the committee but to everyone of all  of us and I'm sure those of you that live here   you pay a lot of taxes just like I do thank you  so much thank you." board questions or comments so I have technical questions um  in board in measure M it says not   exceeding 25 year amort amortization what  does that mean Dr reyes so so when you   uh

181amortize it means that you you're paying it  off so not to exceed 25 years to to pay it all   off and then the following says no capital  appreciation bond okay Mr pong capital   appreciation bonds are when you borrow against  the future growth of your property taxes that   um it has to do with the future  growth of your property tax okay then I also had um for the playground renovation  bond it was not that bond but there was a bond   that talked about playgrounds um and updating  are we using that money for what we're doing   right now yes that that's the money that  we're allocating to that okay i just have   a quick comment i have just a quick comment  for you Miss Baltisa like thank you again for   your dedication and again we I think

182this  is a reflection of parent involvement once   again um hopefully more parents will follow  the lead and as we've been saying parent   involvement has just been great so thank  you for your presentation i know it takes   a long time and a lot of dedication for  you to take the time to do this thank you and it takes a lot to stand on that podium thank  you so much i'm sorry I didn't mention that but   thank you so much sorry jump i have a a few  questions so the needs are prioritized am I   supposed to be directing over there you can yeah  they can and she can okay so how are these needs   prioritized who who who decides so the district  provided us a needs assessment um that is on the   ICO website and the prioritization

183I'm going to  defer that to Mr pong um I know that was something   that the district was working on providing to the  committee as well mr pong right that's something   that the um facilities team and I are working on  right now to bring um a multi-year plan of what   are the next projects that we'll be doing after  this fire lindo modernization how far are you into   this we're um in the process of finalizing  the c the budgets per school site and the   um what's it called the facility index number  condition yeah facility condition index to help us   prioritize which schools will be next yeah can you  ask him to uh speak to it oh yes mr silva he's our   interim um director of facilities maintenance and  planning thank you very much uh President members   of

184the board I'm Tom Silva i'm the one that was  brought in on a interim basis back in in March and   that is something Mark and I talked a lot about  and that is to take the the current plan and some   other things in progress and put down a logical  methodical sequencing not just for this summer for   next summer and the next summer so uh the board  and the staff have done a really wonderful job at   preparing a facilities needs assessment that some  other consultants and architectural term did and   that's a really good snapshot of where things are  we're taking that to the next level to say looking   at that looking at the cost of all the work that  needs to be done the reconstruction cost dividing   that cost by what it would cost to replace

185a  whole the complete building you get a certain   ratio and where that ratio fits determines what  the condition of the facility is on a practical   level is basically don't throw good money away  from bad so if you're a certain percentage or   lower and it's good you just keep on maintaining  if you get another higher percentage of say 10 to   15% to 25 that means start considering major  maintenance things or repairs that will last   20 25 years but not have to worry about tearing  down the building anything 50% above that ratio   of 50% or more means basically consider tearing  down the whole thing and starting over that's   what this facilities condition index does so by  taking that whole needs analysis that was done   uh and correlating that to different things  like the FCI index as well

186as when was it   last modernized and when is it coming due for more  modernization money and we need that part because   that helps us leverage dollars from other places  state bonds and so forth we're doing that right   now and to be honest with you we are pretty close  to about maybe 75 80% we've got the things done   it's now internally being reviewed by Mark and  I and the maintenance and warehouse people so we   can really pull together a comprehensive plan that  we're all walking on the same page before we bring   it to cabinet to see where it goes from there so I  think it's going to be pretty good i'm excited but   it's a nerdy thing so So that's something that'll  be reported out okay oh yes and I I've got a few   more questions

187oh so we didn't spend that much  money this fiscal school year do we have a reason Mark so these were um the projects that were in  place at the time so since I've come on board   um you know we've um implemented more projects  so we'll be seeing more expenditures next year   um because we have a modernization that we're  working on right now um also this is only through   April 30th so we still have um two months of  expenditures to close out or sorry yeah two months   of expenditures to close out still so um we can  provide more information at our unodudited actuals   um that show because we have projects right now  that are going on like the um playground project   the um some one of our roofing projects at Tiffany  is going on right now

188so there are projects still   going on even though we're not done with the  school year fully and or fiscal year sorry it's   fiscal year on that note do we have like an IRS  requirement some sort of I'm sure there's some   kind of requirement that uh if we said we were  going to spend it we're supposed to spend it are   we getting penalized by any agency or have it has  it been called to our attention by any agency that   we're um somehow getting close to non-compliance  or being non-compliant can you can you talk about   whether we're in non-compliance or close to  non-compliance and if we're Yeah so typically   um you do have to spend funds with um about 85% of  funds within three years um and at the end of each   um series we do prepare

189ar it's called arbitrage  so arbitrage interest is if we earn more interest   on the funds that we have in um issued than what  the taxpayers are paying and that that difference   if it's higher is known as arbitrage and that's  what um as a potential penalty if if we did have   to pay anything are we in compliance yes we are  are we are we're in compliance right now what   do you mean right now like tomorrow we won't no  we're we're we'd still be in compliance so we're   we're good mhm okay no risk no all right okay then  then uh so we have so part of these projects that   you're speaking of includes the the holes in those  slides and the play structures and the felicities   that facilities that need upgrading correct and so  I know that

190I was at Los Altos last week Thursday   boy their black top is hardly even visible it it  and uh some of the other schools is that part of   the priorities list of what's going to happen  possibly o over the summer or when so uh that's   more of uh I'd have to look into Los Altos but the  slides and the playgrounds that's just an example   because I happen to see it so those slides and the  playgrounds were a top priority for this summer to   be replaced through the bond uh we do have at the  last board meeting we approved um an asphalt bid   that we're doing also over the summer but that's  more um maintenance not um like a full replacement   right all right okay and let's see during the  May 18 2022 board meeting I

191was not a board   member but I made some inquiries about the ICO  meeting to which Trustee Tamayo was kind enough   to address the audience and answered and asked  if we could look into recording our ICO meetings   because some people may want to go and if we're  wanting encouraging u community engagement even   at least them being able to live stream in and see  what's going on u is that something at that time   uh Trusty Tamayo asked um and inquired if they  were recorded and they could be made available   to the community i haven't heard anything since so  I don't know they're recorded they're not recorded   if not no can we uh we do have the option if we  could could we do that as part of our outreach and   I believe we have several priorities in

192our LCAP  is that do I motion to look into it and or just   make it happen get it recorded make it available  to stream it for the community they already have   a website so they could just put it in their  website right yeah we we live stream it so why   don't we do this let's look at I'll work with well  Mr punk we'll work with uh uh Mr angelo to look at   uh options of how we can record it and and upload  it now when we have um all these um so was we had   that risk assessment the safety assessment that  we had come through of the consultant that looked   at the different variables what was safe and what  needed to be corrected and such they also looked   into uh parking and that does that

193fall into uh  any one of these um bond measures if not so I can   leave it to my report for later correct it would  be so so any kind of a facility improvement it   would go into okay so we have for instance and  um not my idea actually um Miss Sharon Casey   and I were at Rogers uh last week and it's just  horrific to be able to even park you can't and   I limped through and I had to ask permission i'm  parking in a yellow spot am I going to get towed   all these you know little signs everywhere but  um I think we need to look at some of our schools   what used to work before may not work now for some  of our school schools for instance at Los Altos   only because I was

194there all it's right smack in  the middle of there's a house here a house here   and there's a school in the middle you know it's  all surrounded by house and my aunt lives uh my   uncle they live like literally around the block on  Peterlin and all the people there they put their   trash cans out so the people can't so that us you  me that we don't park there and rightfully so they   you know they want to it's still public property  i mean but they're trying to save their parking   they do not like us we are not we are not good  neighbors and so I think we need to look at some   of the parking situations and where they could  park so for that day the reason at Los Altos I   was able to park was

195because staff was instructed  to park in this other area there on the other side   of the playground and of course if it's horrible  for the teachers too we need to look at how to   make it safe for them to be able to access the the  school and it be that their vehicles be safe when   they park there and that they feel safe also so I  think we need to expand on that if we could take   a look on that with the Yeah so so priorities so  one of the things that the reality is that many of   our schools were built many years ago when there  were few homes all right my my cousin was telling   me that she was one of the she was the first  one of the first uh staff that she was

196bust to   Faster and then you know as a community built up  then they took over empty spaces you know a good   example is Harborside harbor side uh years ago  maybe eight years ago uh I mean as it is they   have very very few parking spaces so they used  to have another baseball field in the back so   the district actually took over the baseball field  uh uh and provided parking for staff because they   had no parking uh right now we we just approved  um for Lauderback they have very few spaces i mean   you can't none enough so we came to an agreement  with the church to actually rent uh for 3 years   their their parking so our staff can park there  and so by our staff park uh once the our staff   parks there then parents

197can use the other parking  spaces so we need to be creative because we don't   have enough land um the the and we try to avoid  encroaching upon the fields uh we could but we   try to avoid that yeah wanting it to be on the  right radar for these projects because it it   affects everyone thank you so forth and thank  you again Miss Bautista for your presentation i'll be brief um thank you Miss Feltista for  taking the time to come and and report to us   uh the great work that the oversight committee  is doing uh please share with the rest of the   members our gratitude and and our many thanks for  being that independent voice and making sure that   um we're the money that we're spending we're  spending in the right way as as we outline

198in   the ballot measures so thank you for that that's  it thank you Miss Bautista um I do want to echo   trustee Dominguez Arvante's um comments  regarding the parking um I know that um   I've visited some schools especially um lot like  we're talking Lauderbach that the that we have no   um that there's access by the community to park  on our property which is a liability especially   at night where we've seen them there's no way  for us to lock them off of there and with the   apartment buildings that are around there parking  there and then walking over and I think that um   if something happens on that property our property  um then we're going to be liable um for their cars   being there so looking at all of our facilities  from that lens right and making sure

199that we have   um the the um ample parking but also that it's  not accessible after hours to others we're   talking about lack the the Front front the one  that faces Palmer or Palmer that one fourth or   no Palmer yeah it's on the Palomar side the other  one you can you can lock or the Palmer one and so   people that live across park overnights so but  again thank you Miss Bautista and to all of the   um that one at Lauderbach was or we  already implemented a a chain link   um so they can't go through awesome thank  you thank you um All right continuing on   do this for six years for the ICO oh yes  and um with this we want to um award our   um ICO our independent citizens oversight  committee um some certificates of recognition  

200for their service years for six years right  both um Nancy Kerwin and Gloria Mccernney we'll make sure they receive  it all right thank you Dr reyes all right back to our administrative action  items 13A to adopt the reading difficulties risk   screener is that Miss Montgomery miss Montgomery  thank you President Ugarte i'd like to introduce   Melissa Noble our instructional coordinator for  literacy tonight she's going to be sharing with   you an overview of the universal screener sorry  sorry I didn't I didn't motion to receive the   report i I apologize so um the item the um  independent citizens oversight committee we   do need to receive the report and have a motion  to accept it before we move on motion to accept   second ramirez Dominguez hi Tolston hi Dominguez  hi Tomayo hi Ugarte yes motion carries 5-0 now we  

201can continue sorry about that that's great thank  you thank you President Ugarte so again this is   Melissa Noble she's our instructional coordinator  for literacy and tonight she's here to provide   an overview of the universal screener for reading  um difficulties risk screeners um this is part of   fulfilling our requirement via um Senate Bill 114  and tonight not only are we going to provide you   that overview and information about the universal  screener but also our process for identifying   um our recommendation to adopt a universal  screener which we engaged in a partnership with   our assessment committee as well as um our AACV  and CVE members so I'll hand it over to Melissa   hi good evening President Ugarte um board of  trustees Dr reyes um it's a pleasure to be here   with you tonight to present this information  as

202we continue our commitment to rigorous   learning for all's five-year plan we are guided  by four key domains instructional transformation   highquality professional learning multi-tered  systems of support and turnaround leadership   each domain plays a critical role  in creating the conditions for high   impact learning across our system tonight  we'd like to highlight a mini plan within   the instructional transformation domain this  domain is anchored in the goal to align and   connect curriculum instruction and assessment  to create a cohesive responsive and innovative   instructional practice that builds on student  assets supports diverse learners and promotes   student agency to improve learning outcomes for  all as part of this work we're going to share   priority action 1.3.1 the implementation of a  universal screener for ga grades K through two tonight I'll be sharing information regarding  the implementation of a K through2 universal   screeners

203difficulties risk let me say that again  it's a mouthful implementation of a K2 universal   reading difficulties risk screener in alignment  with California Senate Bill 114 the California   legislator legis it's late the California  legislature has declared that screening students   for risk of reading difficulties including  dyslexia is a critical step in supporting student   learning this law emphasizes the importance  of early identification of a potential reading   difficulties risk as well as the need to support  them using evidence-based instructional strategies   and materials that can improve literacy outcomes  the law requires that K2 students be screened at   least once annually beginning in the 2025 2026  school year the screener is not a standalone   tool it is meant to be integrated into a school's  comprehensive instructional approach its purpose   is to guide instruction monitor progress over  time identify early learning needs

204and support   informed conversations between educators and their  families this law states that the screener is not   a diagnostic assessment and cannot be used for  highstakes decisions such as special education   eligibility grade level retention or labeling  students instead it helps identify students who   may need additional support in their foundational  reading skills the law also requires that students   be screened in their primary language if their  English proficiency is still developing for   instance a newcomer who's in kindergarten should  be assessed in their home language to accurately   identify literacy strengths without being limited  by their current English language skills clear and   timely communication with families is specifically  cited in the law parents and guardians will be   notified at least 15 days before the screener  is administered this communication will explain   the screener's purpose and provide parents an  opt out

205option after the screener is completed   results will be shared with families within 45  days teachers will have access to home connect   letters personalized reports that explain each  child's results describe how those skills relate   to their overall reading development and include  simple targeted activities that families can do   at home to support their children these reports  will also support meaningful conversations during   parent teacher conferences helping to build  strong partnerships between home and school   all districts must adopt a state approved screener  by June 30th with full implementation beginning   next school year our district's assessment  committee has led a thoughtful selection process   focused on supporting both our diverse student  population and our instructional goals ultimately   this screener is about more than identifying a  risk it's about ensuring that every student has   the support instruction and partnership needed to  become

206a confident and successful reader with your   approval tonight our district is on track to meet  the state requirement to support this mandate the   California Department of Education provided a  short timeline for local education agencies to   adopt and implement an approved screener which you  will see at the top of this slide the bottom of   the slide shows how CVESD has aligned our efforts  to meet that deadline our assessment committee   which has led this work includes a diverse group  of educational partners classroom teachers from   all grade levels dual immersion teachers RSP  teachers principles representing AACV CVE union   representatives as well as district leadership  together this team has reviewed the state approved   options and prepared a recommendation that with  your board approval tonight positions our district   to move forward with f full implementation  next school year the California

207Department   of Education released a list of four approved  universal reading screeners in December of 2024   in response CVESD's assessment committee launched  a structured and collaborative review process   to evaluate each of the approved tools to begin  the exploration the instructional services team   participated in San Diego County offices office  of education's adoption toolkit webinar and the   committee members joined a statewide session  introducing the four screeners these early   learning opportunities helped ground the team in  the purpose of the screener and the key features   of each tool from there our committee moved into a  research and exploration phase throughout February   and March members reviewed sample materials  accessed demo accounts and examined how each   screener aligned with our district's instructional  practices and our students needs to take a closer   look representatives from each of the state  approved publishers were invited

208to present   directly to our committee these presentations  gave our members a chance to ask questions explore   implementation models and compare the tools  side by side in April the committee shifted   to a recommendation phase members revisited the  demo accounts reflected on feedback gathered from   our educational partners and evaluated how each  tool would function as part of a comprehensive   assessment system not just as a standalone  screener throughout this process our committee   remained deeply committed to selecting a tool  that reflects the diverse needs of our students   and supports highquality instruction across all  our school sites the CVESD assessment committee   recommends the adoption of Amplify McLass dibbles  and lectura as our district's universal reading   difficulties risk screener for students in grades  K through two in addition to fulfilling the state   required screening purpose MCLASS will also  serve as a

209key progress monitoring tool for   all students in grades K through six supporting  the ongoing literacy development of all learners   as referenced in our rigorous learning for all  plan several important factors contributed to   the committee's recommendation mc-class Dibbles  and Lectura offer a robust dual language support   providing valid research-based screening in both  English and Spanish this ensures that we can   effectively serve our bilingual and multilingual  learners in a linguistically responsive way   in addition the tools are nationally norm  referenced offering educators benchmark data that   provides a meaningful context for interpreting  student performance and identifying those who   may need additional support the assessments  generate actionable data that extends beyond   just the initial screening the platform supports  ongoing progress monitoring allowing teachers   to adjust instruction in real time and better  meet the individual student needs another key   consideration is the

210efficiency and scalability of  the tools they are brief consistently administered   three times a year and designed to support  instruction beyond just K through2 making them a   strong fit for CVSD's vision of a comprehensive K6  literacy system finally MClass Dibbles is already   a familiar and trusted tool within our district  several of our schools have successfully used it   in recent years and the positive outcomes we've  seen reinforce its effectiveness and relevance in   our local context together these features position  Mclass Dibbles and Lectura as the right choice to   support early literacy in a way that is datadriven  and aligned with our long-term instructional goals   as I mentioned earlier the assessment committee  gathered input and feedback from schools within   our district that have experience using Dibbles  there were several commonalities in their feedback   revealing that Dibbles provides actionable  data

211which leads to informed instructional   supports and ultimately improves student growth  and outcomes at Otai Elementary where Dibbles   has been used consistently for progress monitoring  teachers appreciated how easy it was to administer   and how clear the reports were the data provided  encouraged debated the data provided encouraged   meaningful discussions about students strengths  and area for support helping to build a culture   of datainformed instruction as a result the  school increased 5.7 points in ELA on the 2024   California dashboard at Castle Park Elementary  Dibbles has been used for the past four years   in grades K through two with students monitored  across three benchmark periods and in between   the ability to drill down into specific reading  skills helped teachers provide timely targeted   supports because the focus remained on early  intervention and support in tier 1 and tier 2   fewer students

212were referred to the SST or special  education assessments teachers reported that the   tools strengthened their SST process ensuring  that decisions were made based on student data   and not on assumptions additionally Castle Park  saw a 10.3 point increase in ELA they also noted   that having data that follows students over time  created a shared sense of responsibility across   all their grade levels these examples show how  Dibbles not only provides clear and timely data   but also helps create schoolwide systems  of support centered on collaboration and   responsive instruction as we look ahead to full  implementation this recommendation reflects an   investment in a comprehensive multi-year rollout  designed to support both students and educators   a three-year district-wide adoption includes  student and teacher licenses for grades K through   six ensuring every student and classroom has  access to the platform three benchmark assessments  

213per year and built-in progress monitoring tools  allowing educators to track growth and adjust   instruction in real time a robust resource suite  including many lessons and targeted next steps   to support instruction based on student needs  historical data tracking that allows teachers and   leaders to view student trends over time making it  easier to provide a continuity of support initial   professional development and training with  our K2 licenses included for the first year   when we bundle it with the training package  this implementation is strategically funded   through multiple sources the learning recovery  emergency block grant will cover materials and   resources we are leveraging California's literacy  screening professional development funding as   well as the educator effectiveness grant to  support educator training our implementation   plan is designed to ensure all educators are  wellprepared and supported as we roll out the   universal screener

214with your approval tonight we  will begin training when teachers return in July   on July 18th and 22nd all K through six teachers  will participate in professional learning sessions   that are led by trained consultants then in August  and September we'll provide additional follow-up   training for our K2 teachers focusing on deepening  their understanding and use of the tool these   sessions will repair prepare our teachers and  administrators to administer the screener analyze   the data and most importantly use that data to  inform instruction and support student learning   this presentation has walked you through the legal  requirements the assessment committee process the   rationale for our recommendation the funding  and our training plans that are all connected   to this universal screener recommendation with  your support we we are prepared to move forward   with implementation that equips our educators and  supports our

215students at this critical stage in   their learning journey thank you for your time and  your continued commitment to literacy success and   ensuring rigorous learning for all of our students  thank you we have no speakers on this item do   we have board questions or comments yes first  of all I'd like to thank you i feel like that   presentation was very well um executed i I I love  to see like visuals and how those little um I can   follow the train of thought with a lot of visuals  um but I have a question um I know you said that   we it is recommended that we test our children  with their home uh language i know that mainly   because of a demographic it's usually Spanish but  how many other language options are there right   now the state has

216approved um English and Spanish  um the Department of Education is continuing to   look at other languages and developing screeners  in other languages because we have a diverse   population in California and so one of the things  that we would do if a student does not speak   um English or Spanish is that we would evaluate  them using other tools like looking at their   literacy skills um their family background and  then we would continue to monitor them but again   the state is looking at developing the screener  in multiple language because they know that is a   need okay thank you um also um we're rolling TK  starting next year but we're not going to roll   this for our TK students right so this assessment  is designed for K through 2 and uh early   literacy skills it is not necessarily

217develop  developmentally appropriate for TK because they   haven't begun their literacy journey although some  of them may know letters and sounds um but there   are additional screeners that our TK teachers  use to to develop that are developmentally   appropriate to ad to assess the milestones in  their lives that they're that they're reaching   but this screener is mostly meant for early  literacy skills in K through two okay and if   let's say a teacher has the suspicion that they  might need the screener once they reach kinder   um they'll be able to go through the screening  process the screener will be administered for all   K through2 students okay yeah if the screener was  administered in kinder and they did they realize   well at that moment the child passes but then  future first second there's there's issues can   they be rescreened

218yes so the law states that they  will need to be screened annually so a student who   um maybe tests out in kindergarten will again be  screened in first grade with a different benchmark   right so as they move through the years they will  continue to get screened in each of those grades   annually okay um and okay you just said every  year great um and I saw that I think that it   happened in one of those two schools that we were  incorporating it that we saw less people transfer   to FED um and that obviously is something that we  want to make sure that the students are using this   our sped funding are students that really need  it and that students that might have something   else this is really helpful for us to be able to  um at

219least supply a need um and you mentioned   at the beginning that this is not a a standalone  like there is more if maybe a child is not really   well it's not a good tester or you know like  there's other things that would bring a student   out of being Yes so again the the purpose of the  screener is to identify a potential risk okay not   necessarily a risk it is not a diagnostic tool so  by using the screener we are not saying a student   has a learning disability we are not saying  that they have dyslexia what we are saying is   that hey this student is flagged because there  might be a potential risk in an area of letter   naming fluency or in the area of phonological  awareness and then from there the teacher can   say oh

220I need to provide extra supports for  this student the teacher will then have steps   mini lessons and target targeted instruction to  provide instruction for those students who are   flagged as a potential risk and the hope is that  with that quality instruction we will continue to   see growth and the student and move the student  along in their progress in their literacy okay   as one you mentioned that there's actually things  they can bring to parents so they can continue at   home right yes there will be home connect letters  that are available within the platform that will   explain um how the student assessed um what those  results mean and activities that they can do at   home to support their growth thank you any other  yes you you tested this in Otai you said and and   Castle Park uh

221could you share with us we saw  the pros what were the cons that you heard from   uh the staff and or anyone else that may have  been involved that's a great question actually   there were no cons so when we reached out to them  teachers and administrators definitely preferred   the use of dibbles over the CVESD reading  assessments that we did last year we had a lot   of feedback from teachers last year in our efforts  to um screen begin testing our students in some   of those areas and the feedback was that the tests  were too long that they took too much time and the   teachers at Otai and at Castle Park both expressed  that they preferred this assessment because they   were brief and they were very informative so the  same support that was provided those two schools  

222is how you we intend to support the other schools  with the same support like if this school got you   know just that many more u um classified or  certificated to to process this testing well   obviously it's not going to have the same um  reception in other schools if they're not going   to have the same support yeah so the design of the  screener is really to me meant to be administered   by our classroom teachers we value our classroom  teachers getting the chance to sit down with their   students and listen to them read and really hear  for themselves how they're doing these will be   short one minute measures in different subtests  each subtest will take about 5 to seven minutes   per student from there that data will then inform  teachers about where there are learning needs   will

223this take the place of that assessment that  teachers that they gave us feedback about yes it   will it will and so it is designed to be They're  very happy about that yes no wonder there was   no I mean the one good thing about the CVESD um  assessments last year is it did familiarize our   teachers with some of the assessments that are  the early literacy skills for example non-word   um nonsense word reading which they didn't love  but that is a subtest that tests whether or not   students are able to decode and not just memorize  a site word once a student knows the word cat for   example and it's committed to their site word bank  we can assess whether or not they really have the   knowledge to blend through words that have that  short a sound or

224the ending t sound and so by   giving them nonsense words we're able to assess  their decoding ability so the good news about that   assessment last year was that it did familiarize  our teacher with some of the subtests that   they'll see the great news is that this will be  shorter and more efficient for them thank you yes any other questions or comments i'm going to ask it okay i saw that the this is  for K to second grade however it mentions that it   could be used for K26 are we buying licenses for  all K26 so we would like to al one of our priority   actions in our plan for rigorous learning for  all is to de to identify a 3 through6 reading   assessment so that alongside of the universal  screener is in our plan so by

225adopting this   with K through six we provide that con continuity  of a system that assesses our students literacy   development in K through six and it will help our  teachers address their learning needs in all grade   levels but the screener itself is just for grades  K through two okay i was trying to make sense of   of the cost versus the price per license and if  it was only for K to sec second grade it didn't   make sense of the cost but now if it's through  six then it makes sense thank you yes i have a   question are we um are we rolling this out also  for our charter schools or not no so our charter   schools are their own local education agency  so they will go through this process themselves   and they will adopt a screener

226for themselves  can we like share our findings if they if they   reach out yes okay thank you thank you for your  report um this is an action item move to approve   ramirez Dominguez i do hi tamayo hi ug yes motion  carries 5 thank you so much thank you so much for   your support okay before we continue um I want  to uh let everyone know we still have the LCAP   administrative action item the budget and the  surplus property advisory committee um yeah   and and we have the other items and we have  one close session item that will take about   uh depending on our reading uh 20 to 30 minutes  so we will need a motion uh to extend the meeting all right based on how long is the budget well  it depends on how many questions

227right so again   we don't have to use it all i move sorry staff  i move to extend the meeting to 1 in the morning second need a second yeah ramirez  Dominguez Tolston Dominguez so if we don't approve it we we can't finish  the our items can any of them roll over to   We can make a different motion to to extend to  a different time or we can What can we have to   use all the time i I know but what can move  over till July yeah is that an option just   again overtime communications because if we  if we have to conduct business we have to do   it but if we can't all of the administrative  action items all administrative action items   exhaust and the close session should be approved  so we have two we have

228three or two no three we   have three three left and a close session that  surplus good how long I mean we're talking LCAP   we kept talking budget it's not something short  it's like I an agenda for the day this at this   meeting yeah those have to be this I know we're  in the middle of vote guys we need to finish the   vote trusty Dominguez i think you were next  so we have an I and nay i I motion carries 41 all right dr yeah can Can I say something um  since we're going to be extending um can I uh   I'm going to be releasing some staff members  because I don't want them to stay here so Mr   angelo if uh you can release your staff um Joanna  if if uh uh uh and the translators

229what we can do   is uh we'll we'll we'll uh the when they upload  it they can translate it as they upload it so So   translators interpreters can also uh be relieved  and uh any other I can't see facilities yes   facilities if you wish to leave Mr silva you  can stay if you want i'm sure you're excited thank you thank you all all right our next  administrative action item is to approve the   Chula Vista Elementary School District's  updated local control and accountability   plan for the 2526 school year miss Mon is it Miss  Perez or Miss Montgomery myself okay good evening   President Agari trustees Dr reyes as you know  at the last board meeting we held the public   hearing for our 2526 LCAP we are going into year  two of our three-year LCAP and on that evening  

230we proposed updates based on educational partner  feedback tonight the LCAP goes for board approval that it all right um board questions or comments so page three of 153 says we'll receive 35,853 393 but plan to spend 42,65,000 plus so the difference is in the  negative of over almost 7 million   where does that difference  come from Dr reyes miss Press page three are you looking at the  LCFF budget overview for parents the   the tables packet you gave if so I'm going  to defer that to Mr pong so Mr trusty can   you repeat the question the page yes and  the page it is three of 153 yes question so it states that we'll receive almost 36 million  35,853,000 but we plan to spend over 42 million so   the difference 6,700 something thousand where will  that come from

231mr pong great um so that difference   um is in the action items and whether or not they  service unduplicated students so we have um $42.6   million in expenditures that we're listing in  our LCAP that are servicing unduplicated students   however in actual unduplicated funds that we  receive under the LCF we're only receiving   35.8 so So the question is the difference where  is it coming from if we're spending more than   is coming in where are we getting the extra 7  million it's from our unrestricted general fund okay and in and this is quick u page five and  six of 153 is there priority which like what goes   first the category I just found it out that MTSS  academics was not listed first I think vapa was   listed first is there priority or is it just fall  where

232it may so on page five and six this is just   general information about our school district and  so there isn't a particular ular order that these   items are in the actual goals are in goal 1 2  3 four and five these are just highlights and   signature programs of our district okay and the  data for community schools we should have some   already we have what two schools three of them  that have been on board now as community schools   for at least two years right four years five years  okay five schools so where is the data that shows   it's Thank you Miss uh having a positive academic  impact where can I find that in the LCAP about the   community schools so the LCAP doesn't identifies  specifically anything about community schools   that's not a requirement for our LCAP

233okay  our LCAP uses the California dashboard and we   utilize the data from our dashboard from the year  one of when the LCAP was written and so that is   what we are required to place and so we can uh  look at data from our community schools just by   identifying you know which schools they are but  there is not a specific section in here that is   a requirement for that on the LCAP okay i would  just thank you uh page 59 goal two Mr santos title   i'm just confused where there's reference to the  coordinator of leadership development equity and   access then who is the coord that should be  changed i Right but it's still referenced in   several areas and uh so he's now coordinator  of student services yes so so M press that   with uh last board

234meeting two board meetings  board minutes ago uh we did a job description   modification and the title was changed so if we  can uh when it when when it's approved if we can   actually before it's submitted can we change  the correct it so in in the LCAP um we cannot   actually change the original action items it is a  state and county requirement that we do not change   any of the original items that were written the  first year that the LCAP was um um adopted except   I think there was something in exception right  correct what we do is after educational partner   input and reflection we can make changes that  are reflected underneath the action items so   you see correct so that's where they are saw it  on the one but not in the following subsequent   ones corre

235so in any of these if if the title  coordinator of develop coordinator of leadership   development equity and access if it's written  anywhere because some of these the the item has   already been cited as being changed and it's in  the goal analysis then that is a given so that we   don't repeat it every single time it is there but  it will repeat in original action items because   we are not allowed to erase that information  that's part of the history of our LCAP so so   so yeah it's actually stated that yeah it says it  right underneath but it doesn't say in subsequent   but but you've just explained why okay okay and  uh page 62 of 153 says a goal 2.5 the SRO's and   I know um we had an board update on 5:30 May 30th  where it

236reports that Dr reyes and Mr pong had uh   a follow-up meeting with Sergeant Claire from Chil  Vista PD but it looks like the intent is reducing   an SRO from 4.5 down to 3.5 now it's that's not  reflected in the uh LCAP there but it is in that   um board update and um I I thought we had to  vote on that i don't think we should be I don't   recall having voted to reduce our SRO i think I  don't remember reducing them and I know when we   first started when I was first sitting there um  there was like at the point and I actually made a   point of asking well do we have nine SRO's or is  it seven SRO's because there was references and   changes and and I believe it was again you trustee  Tamayo

237that clarified and at that point we were at   seven so now we're down to 4.5 and the intent  is to reduce it to 3.5 and I don't agree with   that safety is a priority for our children for our  staff and are we keep growing we have more schools   so how do we grow schools but reduce what helps  us keep safe yeah so couple things um the actual   item is going to be brought forward I believe  next month for the SRO's uh part of the convers   so years ago maybe four five six years ago we had  3.5 for several several years then in 2022 2022 uh   we had um uh co funding and so be because we had  extra co funding i brought it to to the captain   about the possibility of increasing the SRO's to 

238four 4.5 instead of 3.5 uh so increasing by one so   we actually went ahead and increased it by one uh  because we had that extra funding but that extra   funding was limited you know it's not ongoing so  last year we uh the board had a conversation uh we   had a conversation about when we were talking  about budget reductions about going back to   3.5 because we didn't have the extra funding now  having said that so we wrote it down here on the   LCAP as 3.5 however the actual the actual agenda  item for the SRO's will come forward will will   come to the board and you will have and so we'll  we'll make the district will make a recommendation   uh to to um we'll make a recommendation but it's  up to the board to decide which way

239to go but this   LCAP is expected to be approved today and it's got  a number that I don't agree with and a number that   we didn't put before us to vote to discuss or even  vote on yeah so so last year it was also approved   the LCAP was also originally approved for 3.5 well  I'm getting smarter i'm getting close i'm looking   at stuff better yeah so so last year So so last  year it was also approved for 3.5 now depending on   what the board chooses to do with the contract the  actual contract of the SRO's it could be modified   correct the LCAP well modify it up and then if  we mod if we vote down then we then you modify   it down wouldn't wouldn't it also be where 3.5  SRO's come from LCAP funding and

240the other one or   whatever we do comes from somewhere else it could  that is a possibility the original LCAP that was   adopted uh last year says 3.5 remember I said that  you can't change anything so the original action   of 2.5 on page 62 says school resource officer  3.5 if if it was going to be changed it would   be underneath that line where changes are made  so it was originally adopted for 3.5 um and so   absolutely you can I mean that can be something  that so so what we can do is what what you said   depending on what the board chooses to do because  right now we're not you know we're not discussing   this but as we bring it forward we'll make a  recommendation but if the board chooses something   else that um then uh we

241can take the funding from  a different fund for unrestricted for example to   pay for the difference so I think if that's what  the right can you restate it so it's real clear   for the minutes it's 3.5 right depending on what  the board chooses as we bring we're going to be   bringing the the contract forward we're hoping  next month uh we're waiting for the for for CVPD   to send us a contract um and for us to review it  and and we should have it ready for next month if   the board Um so for example if the board says yes  3.5 then it's spit out of L cap if the board says   no we want to go with 4.5 then the difference  which is the one SRO would be would come out of   different fund uh it

242could be for example it come  out of unrestricted where was the funding coming   from for the 4.5 now it uh was it uh multiple  it's currently all cap yeah yeah so but but   it can come from both multiple funding sources in  the LCAP so what are the multiple funding sources so there's um the unrestricted  and then there's that pay that   pay for the that could pay the current 4.5   um unrestricted and then the concentration  grant money also those are the options i have I have a difficulty processing and  accepting something that I don't have later   no know that well you already approved it or  so so so let let me just re reiterate so if   the board next month will bring the contract  for the SRO's and we'll provide two options   right so what we'll

243do is we'll provide two  options and two different costs uh if the   board chooses an option which surpasses what is  stated here it will go through we'll just pay   it from a different source the difference  will be paid from a different account all   right as long as it's we're very clear that  I do not want to reduce I the our SR you're   you're kind of going to to speak to something  that we were going to well we got you okay yeah   just let you know that it can be paid out of a  different source right so that was that was 62 page 82 of 153 the L cap Funding for VAPA teachers  will be funded with Prop 28 funds and   PE teachers will be funded from  general funds is this a change yes that's a

244change so in this goal  analysis the title of that box does   say a description of changes and so what  uh this change um allows is it frees up   uh LCAP money to be spent on other priorities  proposition 28 funds will be paid will be utilized   to pay for the VAPA teachers pe teachers have  to be separated because of the restrictions of   the grant you cannot pay for PE teachers with  the grant and so that's why it's divided up   in that sentence prop 28 for the VAPA and then  PE with general funds and the portion that was   used to pay for VAPA teachers that LCAP money  is now uh released to pay for other priorities   and specifically the transportation costs  all right page 92 and 93 parent engagement how is it on the LCAP and it's

245also discontinued  that's what I my note I wrote 60 excuse me 92 and   93 and what are you my question was that I wrote  here was parent engagement the coordinator for   perform the coordinator how is it on the LCAP but  it's also a position that we discontinued so it's   on the LCAP because it's on the original LCAP  and then we can't take it off so underneath that   action you will see a line so how I delineated  it was I drew like a little line at the bottom   bottom it's kind of you know and then it says the  contributing item coordinator of parent engagement   leaison has been discontinued so that's where it  indicates the change and then it says to see a the   goal analysis so any of these changes always refer  you to see the

246goal analysis the goal analysis how   do how do we I'm sorry how do we then justify  that we're doing that if we're discontinuing   that coordinator so we go to the goal analysis  to read the description because again we cannot   change anything on the original description and  so what we say is the contributing item of parent   engagement liaison has been discontinued see goal  analysis so if you go and I know you have to flip   back and forth and that's why I put postits on  mine if we go to page 90 that's the goal analysis   the goal analysis is the section where reflect  on the implementation the effectiveness of the   actions and then based on that we um have changes  so that box that says a description of changes   made to the planned goals it's that last

247box on  page 90 i I see that but it doesn't identify to   me who's taking over that um the development or  the uh outreach to the for parent engagement so on   the action 5.2 it doesn't state a specific person  what it does state is that there will be a greater   focus on site family engagement and so there  is a new CVD parent engagement plan that Miss   Castro has developed and it includes um a parent  ambassador program i know that she's not with us   tonight but the parent ambassadors would actually  be parents from every single school site because   that's where parents really want to be engaged  where their students are where their children go   to school we will still have district level type  of activities like CVESD university and workshops   that are run just by by

248like the brain balance  that that you approved earlier but really where   we want to see that improvement is at the site  level so parent empowering parent ambassadors   at every like site level at every school is going  to to help us do that there's also if you go to   action 5.2 to on the description of effectiveness  it's just the box above it we have to kind of rate   uh the actions to see if they were effective  or ineffective and if you look at action 5.2   the participation rate for the CVESD university  was very low and so when we think about all of   the efforts that were placed and putting all of  these parent workshops together even um you know   staff that went out we had one session that was  cancelled um it was very it was

249ineffective and   so we're looking for so we don't want to continue  something that's ineffective so we are coming up   with a new way and that's what Miss Castro has put  together is it says it's in development so are you   saying now that it's been developed it is still  in development i know that Miss Castro has some   initial ideas but I think the idea is to bring the  parent ambassadors together and have them a voice   who's the parents ambassador who's the parent  ambassador they have not been selected there will   be parent ambassador representation from every  school site okay thank you and then they could   provide input in further development of the plan  so we hear directly from the parents that are at   the school sites okay all right and um let's see  page 105 and 108

250it who does the instruct who does   an instructional coach work with at Harbor Site  no it says targeted and specific instructional   practices to improve student achievement in ELA  and math with focus on unduplicated students and   there's other instructional coaches on some of the  other pages but it doesn't identify the schools   yes so for this particular item this section is  called the required descriptions so this section   kind of consolidates all of the actions from  the previous goals and what it does is we have   to describe in the first box how is this action  supporting the identified need of the unduplicated   students the second box then I uh we have to  share how would this be beneficial to all students   if other students that are not unduplicated  are receiving this now specifically for the   instructional coaching the

251coach is not working  with students but they are working with teachers   that's what a coach does so they are working with  teachers okay and so the other schools right here   you just specifically or someone specifically  called out Harborside but there are other schools   correct so on the original plan uh Harborside  was the only school that had all red for ELA so   that is why they were identified for that specific  coach for Harborside that has to stay the same for   the entire LCAP it can't change because we need to  see change over time it doesn't happen in one year   then for the other instructional coaches that  are being proposed under title three they are   not specifically assigned to specific schools  part of our rigorous learning for all plan um   a priority action is that the instructional 

252uh services and support staff which includes   coordinators our current resource teachers  the additional resource teachers will be   deployed to support sites based on California  dashboard and other needs so we are developing   a plan to identify variety of schools so that  we have greater flexibility and we can support   um as many schools as we can throughout the year  and you're going to monitor that how we are going   to well we're going to monitor that by looking  at data we have the universal screener we have a   new data platform uh elevation that's uh part of  our English learner goal that we could be using   so it's all going to be part of our rigorous  learning for all plan thank you you're welcome is that it yes okay this is an action item move to approve second   ramirez

253Dominguez i to dominguez  hi Tamayo i Yes motion carries 5-0 all right adopt the resolution appointing a 711  surplus property advisory committee mr pong thank   you President Ogarte tonight for your adoption we  have a resolution um to appoint 7-Eleven surplus   committee and what the 7-Eleven committee means is  the 7-Eleven just means that it's a committee of   uh seven to 11 people that's why they call  it the 7-Eleven committee um we did have   around seven we did have 17 applications um  and two of them were in ineligible because   they weren't in the boundary you have to be a  resident um in the boundary um so that meant   that we had 15 eligible applications so we are  recommending um for appointment 11 of those 15 and   um with our regret um emails we'll be inviting  those to

254um those other four to apply for the   independent citizens oversight committee because  that's another opportunity that we have available   for participation from the public any questions  or comments from the board what was the criteria   for being I know the boundaries having to  live there but did you have other criteria so there are certain um categories  that we were wanting to fill so   um just that the the membership represents the  demographics of the district um that there's a   business community member land owner or renter  um a teacher um an administrator and a parent   and anyone with expertise and environmental impact  there wasn't anything further than what you posted   no okay thank you and all this time I thought  that 7-Eleven committee would get free slushies this is an action item move to approve i second  ramirez

255Dominguez i Tolston hi Dominga Cvantes   hi Tamaya iard yes motion carries 5-0 adopt  2025 2026 proposed budget and ending fund   balances of the Chula Vista Elementary School  District and adopt resolution to identify the   amount of budget reductions needed for 2627  and 2728 and to require that a list of budget   reductions needed for 2627 be included in the  2526 first interim report thank you President   Ugarte um and good evening to the governing  board and superintendent Dr ray and members of   the community tonight we have for your review  and adoption the proposed 2526 budget that   um we had also presented a preliminary budget  at the last board meeting so on May 21st we did   um present a proposed budget we initially had a  revenue of about 400.7 million expenditures of   455 million um bringing us to a

256decrease in the  fund balance of 54.3 million when we look at our   um when we look at our decrease um to the fund  balance um to really determine the health of   the district we want to look at on a unrestricted  versus restricted basis so on this um um info on   this graphic here um we have the decrease in the  unrestricted side going down by 23.8 million and   that's um higher than the current year and next  year because we are intentionally spending down   some of the um funds that we had committed towards  um the technology devices that we approved at the   last board meeting and then with the restricted  um we would um oftentimes expect a uh decrease   in the fund balance there because the way that the  restricted part of the budget works is oftentimes  

257we receive funds um that we spend over multiple  years so we get money in the first year and then   spend it over multiple years which would create  a decrease in the fund balance so um uh back at   the main board meeting we were projecting  a 5% um reserve for economic uncertainty so now with the proposed budget um majority  of the items are the same there was just an   expenditure update bringing the expenditures down  on the restricted side um so down to 191 million   so there's a total decrease there of 26.6 million  still with the 5% reserve for economic uncertainty   so when we look at our expenditure changes it  was uh mainly in our books and supplies um and   this is where we had a program that we made  a a budget change to match the

258revenue and   um project the expenditures over  multiple years versus the one year so um again some proposed budget highlights uh  we had budgeted for the full implementation of   transitional kindergarten which increased  our classroom count by 13 classrooms uh we   again have our computer refresh for grades  three through six and our certificated staff   we um are continuing with our counselors  and social workers and have the behavior   support assistance to increase supports of  our social emotional needs at the schools   and then our additional TOSAs to um continue  the support around rigorous learning for all when we look at our multi-year projection  the biggest change here is that we did not   have the future years of the cola um and  the multi-year projection so those two   future years did go down so we can see  in the second

259year it went from 3.52%   projected cola down to 3.02 which resulted in  a reduction in projected revenue of about 1.4   million and then in the third year uh we're  looking at 3.63 previously and now we're at   3.42 which is about um just under a  two $2 million reduction in revenue and then all the other assumptions have um  stayed the same since the previous meeting so this is what was presented back in May um we  can see here um that very first row the um change   in the fund balance so again we see that 23.8  8 million and then that going down because of   the onetime expenditures for the computers being  removed and then up to the 18.5 million in the   third year uh we can see that the commitments  are um being utilized to offset

260that uh deficit   so those commitments um we'll see on a future  slide but those commitments are funds that we   had set aside for um needed expenditures to  continue um our instructional programs like   the adoption of curriculum and things like that um  so that is now being used to fund the deficit so   um back in May also we had 3.5% in the third  year so that 0.5% was above what we needed   to have to meet the 3% minimum so we were um 2.4  million above the minimum required reserve based   on the changes in the future cola and that  decrease in revenue um we're now looking at   um the screen here so um a change in the first  row is due to the change in revenue the decline   in revenue so we have a actually a slightly

261higher  deficit based on that decline in revenue and again   that commitments are being used to funding  the deficit and so if we continue at this   um trajectory uh we would naturally see that in  the 2829 school year we would not be able to meet   that 3% um because even if you look at 2728 that  deficit that we have is greater than our 3% so   um we do need to look at making budget reductions  over these at least um 2.4 million to meet the 3%   reserve in the third year so that's what the  resolution with this agenda item is for also   that we're committing to um making those budget  reductions to remain at the state required 3%   um so anything that we can do starting now um  will um have an effect on that um third

262year out we do have to um substantiate why we need above  our 3% minimum reserve for the state so we have   47.5 million in our reserves our 3% minimum  reserve is 13.5 million so we have about 34   million in reserves that we need to substantiate  so part of that is about 2.1 million in   um school site funds that we have set aides  for and then the other 32 million are for those   um one-time commitments that we had talked  about previously so safety and security measures   vehicle equipment replacement the textbook  replacement and other onetime expenditures so looking ahead we are looking at the final  state adoption which they have the statutory   deadline of June 15th based on that we would  be making um some um 45day budget revisions   the ones that we're monitoring right now are

263the  transitional kindergarten um increase in funding   for the reduced ratio which would be about 3.5  million for our district and then a onetime um   block grant of about $6 million and um that block  grant is really funds that we should be setting   aside as we're using those commitments um to fund  the deficit those one-time funds um should really   be saved towards like those textbook adoptions  that we have upcoming um we're starting to   um we've continuing to work on year end so our  fiscal year ends June 30th so we're um we're   preparing to close the books uh not much update on  the federal budget in terms of title three there's   still uncertainty around that program um for  English learners and immigrant students uh we are   continuing to discuss um what attendance recovery  programs um might look

264like next year um and the   ability to increase ADA and revenue through um  attendance recovery programs um and then finally   um at the request of the board uh we'll be  preparing a board budget workshop to do a a really   extensive dive into the budget so that way um we  can um collectively come up with budget solutions and then finally we do have other funds we've um  that's been all the general fund so we do have   other major funds um our charter schools um like  us are not um are um subject to the reductions of   the cola um so they're expecting um some reduced  funding but we're continuing to monitor their   multi-year projections we have a specific assigned  accountant to the charter schools that works with   them and they're also doing some um other facility  um

265modernizations um at their schools or additions   um under the child development fund uh there's  a slight decrease there just with the shift of   um some of the preschool age students moving into  transitional kindergarten um we're working with   that program to reduce expenditures and fund 13  is another major fund for child nutrition um we do   have a spend down plan for them since we're only  allowed to have a certain amount of reserves um   the building fund that's where we're recognizing  our bond expenditures so um naturally we would   expect a decrease in the fund balance there as  we um receive the money from the issuance and   are spending that down um and then the other major  one is our community facilities district which is   where um we have funded the schools through and  then our self- insurance

266fund for workers comp so   with that I will open it up for any questions or  comments to the board there are no public speakers   um board questions or comments i have a question  uh I have a question so for the attendance   recovery programs that's for absenteeism right  um the new independent study contracts that you   can be absent for a day and you can sign the  independent study contract correct that looked   at that's that's part of it okay may I piggyback  on that so do our staff know and principles know   about this so that they can implement it on day  one correct so they know but we're working to have   uh district staff support sites to to make sure  that not only they're doing it but they're doing   it in a consistent basis because they'll have

267to  know like on day one they'll all show up next day   one of them's out correct so it have to be a  fast turnaround i have a question for the $2   million because we want to reserve we want to make  sure we make the 3% does that have to be for do we   need to commit to three $2 million every single  year or that we will have that reduction by the   third year yeah so before before he comments so we  have to commit to the 2 four four million just so   we have enough in the third year however however  right now we're facing a significant deficit this   year so the reductions need to be this year  uh and much more than 2.4 million uh so we're   looking at maybe reducing 8 to10 million each year 

268so because otherwise 2829 if we reduce 2.4 million   yeah we'll be we'll have enough for for 2829 but  if we do a three-year projection then we're not   going to be able to do a three-year projection  so so remember every year you have to be three   years ahead so we got to be reducing 8 to 10 each  year so with that in mind one I I appreciate the   the budget however I'm not comfortable approving a  budget that brings us down to 3% on on third year   so I would like to see that we're actually  committing to reducing more and and maintain   us at 4% as as the seal as the floor because 1%  it's a hiccup away from not being uh on a positive   certification from the county and that's that's  um a ground that we

269don't want to be in because   that could lead into a potential takeover from the  state though so um correct and so so one of the   things that we want to do is uh we want to make  sure that in is it a in August in August in August   we're going to be having a a a budget workshop and  that's where we're going to be proposing the the   different cuts uh and and and this is the reality  uh the reality is that well reductions the reality   is that uh when districts school districts have to  go through reductions that's not a that's not the   fun part right that is not the fun part because  92% 90 to 92% of the expenditures of any school   district is personnel and so we have to make t  you know you

270have to make difficult decisions   uh because everything is important so but but they  have to be made and so and so at the same time   it's better to start making now now reductions  instead of waiting for year three and having to   lay out a lot of people exactly so if we were  aiming to get to four instead of three in a third   year are we still looking at 8 to 10 or would that  mean we need to do even more i want to make sure   correct so we know the number so in August in  August we're we'll do a a board workshop okay   and we'll spend plenty of time looking at at what  we need to reduce and we'll be providing options   but also recommendations and the whole idea of  of having a board workshop

271is that it's open and   that the public knows how what we intend to do  how we intend to do it and also a timeline of   course there's some variables that might change  you know next year maybe the governor gives us   a lot of money so things change right or goes  the other way so but based on the information   that we have today we have to make those those uh  recommendations and those changes and we will be   able to see how those strategies were implementing  like the attendance recovery program and anything   else is working to foresee what Yeah so so for  example the ADA recovery the the ADA recovery   uh we would know that at the end of the year so  because it's Yeah because it's through the year   okay i have a few questions so

272if I don't say  in my processing part um so I I'm looking at   page 33 of 130 okay just for reference so so 95  million that's a large reserve which is great but   we're burning through it right so looking at  next year but the multi-year projection ours   starts on page it's on page it's page 33 okay  and it's labeled on the bottom as page five you'll see the page number top okay so  the revenue growth is expected to slow   in the future 8 8.6 going up 1% or  less per year in the next few years   meanwhile and I think you guys were discussing  this piece the deficit spending C is huge we got   50.5 million next year and 30.3 million the  year after and the last year is 29 million   so these are and we

273and and Mark calls it out  that the district is projected to maintain the   minimum reserve for econom economic uncertainties  but at the same time we can see that we on our   agenda even today at 12B and 12 C we're looking  at some pay negotiations too correct okay so do   the proposed budget numbers include the potential  cost of any increases in pay and benefits okay so   that's a no or will the 2.4 million in cuts need  to be larger if we approve them yes yes yes so   that's a big yes so do the projections include  any costs from expected renegotiations that will   happen with the different unions well in the next  three years well that's a yes if no no no the   projections do they don't include any cost from  the expensive negotiations affect the budget

274right   so it will affect the budget depending on what  happens do we know how many millions more will   need to be cut as a result as of any potential pay  increases not yet well not we haven't negotiated   okay so back on that can can you remind us what's  the cost of 1% Mr that's a good good question 1.4 1.4 I want to say one how much  well it's more than 1.4 million no   it's more Oh was that wishful thank you  he's working on it and just so you know   uh Trusty Dominguez Advantes so when you  see the 50 million the 50 million invested   uh it um it's for the unrestricted  and and restricted so it combines it so so the the one that we  look at is the unrestricted it's still called deficit spending right

275correct  but uh we so for example the the reason why the   restricted is so uh large is because we use that  money to to to uh pay some of the uh some of the   cost for this year mr brown so across all the  groups um 1% is about $3 million across all groups you said 3.1 three million three okay and so during our August workshop we're  going to discuss some ideas of what we're   planning to cut absolutely well what we'll do  is we'll we'll have a list of of potential costs   um and for potential of expenditures and  potential uh reductions and our focus   will be that any cutting won't affect the  education of students of the children or or   laying off any employees that's the focus well  we can't we can't have that discussion right

276now   yeah so there there's going to the the truth is  um with 90 true 2% of the budget being personnel   it's likely likely very likely that that there's  going to be some personal impacts however the   idea is to minimize those impacts to personnel as  much as possible by taking action earlier right   uh because those savings get compounded as the  years go uh especially if we're reducing from   ongoing expenditures um and that's why I have  an issue with the resolution of just being 2.4   4 million uh that we're committing as we approve  this budget if we if we commit chest to 2.4 we're   saying that we're okay with 3% in 2728 for  reserves yeah so yeah so we saying that it   should be 3 million it should be 4 million to be  able to get us

277to 4% in in year three year three   yeah so so the 2.4 is just the bare minimum to  get us to the next year but if we get to that   year even if we we were able to go to 28 2829  with that 2.4 in 28 at the beginning of 2829 we   would not qualify because we will not have enough  for the three years three following years right   so so it has to be much more we wouldn't qualify  starting 26 27 exactly so next year we wouldn't   qualify unless we reduce and so just just to  to piggy back on what um trust mayo said trusty   aming is yes so unfortunately the the the most  likely the reductions need to be in personnel and this is where we as a board we need to  look at

278the um anything that's outside the   classroom right yep uh that's normally how  we have looked at budget cuts and budget   reductions is what is outside the classroom first  where can we uh uh make some reductions and then   we move as we are reducing we move closer  to the classroom leaving the classroom the   last resort um but those are going to be very  diff difficult decisions passionate decisions   um a lot of discussion so but I think that as a  board and there's been a lot of talk about fiscal   responsibility and making sure that we're we're  fiscally sound this is the the most important   decision that we make here is this budget and I  would hope that the the board sees that there's   value in committing to looking at more reductions  than the 2.4 now so we

279don't have to walk in next   year and having to do a $10 million reduction  right right right uh just a question with the   decisions that this board has taken so far  the ones that we did in the prior months are   those going to be revisited or is that something  that we will not So so uh my my response to that   is everything is on the table okay that was  my question so we have to look at the entire   and just so you know this conversation is being  held by pretty much every single district i mean   we have a neighboring district that closed the  school so this conversation is it's a and you know   uh this this happened the same thing happened  in 2011 12 so so it unfortunately goes by cycles we could probably expect

280actually even  bigger cuts because uh the revenues at   the state level are not there and they're  they're they're stealing not stealing it's   there but they're taking from reserves that were  not supposed to be touched yeah so so and we'll   have this discussion during the bud uh budget uh  workshop but my advice is to be conservative and   if there's extra funds then we use them then  no not so conservative and then not be solvent okay are there any other questions  regarding the proposed budget okay this is we need to accept receipt  of the uh excuse me no we need to   uh re approve the proposed  budget it's an action item i'll make a motion to approve with the  amendment to increase the reductions   to 4 million second five let's go five  okay so he said five

281i'll second well   the 2.4 represents from the previous  slide about.5% so if we wanted the   4% then it would be closer to five  okay i do i Yes motion carries 5-0 general it's the uh general information items  the report calendar to the board of education   um trustee Damides Lamingus the report out  this is the any reports you would like from   the superintendent oh no trusty Tolston  yeah um can we get a a briefing we've   been talking about pairing and engagement  all day so like can we get a a briefing a   presentation of what the plan is do you  want a board update or a presentation a   presentation okay uh can it be either  July or August or when when would you the once the plan is ready right because I think  it was still in

282development a good plan august   august okay let's if we have it in July July  but otherwise in August at the latest mhm okay   trustee Dominguez Santes update on the Fikmat  assessment where we're at with that i I'll do   a board update okay and um we had a crisis  management or company that we hired is it   March back March 1st the communications yes so it  was for one month right uh no it's it's uh it's a   year okay okay it was for a year for a year so up  to was it 3,000 a month right right is that what   we've paid so far 3,000 up to that amount okay and  um the I know that facilities has been working on   the water pur purifiers for especially for our  students that are on the west side because

283of   um how bad the sweet water um delivery of their  water but uh what have we done for our staff   like in their lunchrooms so that they also  have clean water so do they have something or   is it just for the Well the the water filtration  systems my my my understanding is for the school   right it includes staff well it's mainly  to have one in the playground area right so we we can start to look at the rest of the  school just want to make sure that Yeah we   can look uh well we can possibly cost that for us  yeah we look at a at a possible second one that's   cost it out and let's see thank you i'm going  to scratch this one on the common assessment   those assessments they were doing because now 

284we're having that other that was a long one   look okay and test results for parents reporting  um again the results that are be coming to the   uh parents sometime during the summer for the test  the state the cast it's it has uh I still continue   to have the concern that when the teachers meet  with the uh uh parents there's no key there and   I want to make sure that we have something there  like I shared before the rep report cards read   for it exceeds and meets it doesn't differentiate  differentiate between students performing above   their grade or a student who's barely made it  or how does a two approaching differ from a   three nearly met i know that came up before that  there was some discussions that would had were   had before maybe a couple years

285ago I don't know  with cabinet and possibly the union where those   discussions were had but uh parents need to be  part of that too because uh you go to one teacher   and it and that same test result will mean one  thing and you go to another teacher and that same   test that same test will mean something else to  another and so it means entirely something else   to the parent so are we talking about the CASP  results the report cards that the teachers report   cards yes because there's the the CASP report is  on there well it says some numbers there's no key   as to what it means i brought that up before  Rochelle was a report card yes the report card   just keep it if we could please so that an IT  update um I know

286um I keep being told that no   update no update well it's been a summer ago for  for what for the um L line wise software it didn't   blur out the audio oh for um we had that incident  at a school where little boys were looking at   things they shouldn't be looking at is there an  update on the line well it wouldn't let me do   anything on the next Well just ask the little boys  yeah we we had one recently in the safety update   but yeah yeah it it still does not do the video  blurring in a public capacity we don't have that   it does the image blurring we have that but it  doesn't do video or audio and audio was something   that was not explicitly promised it would do video  but they hoped it would

287do audio in a month so so   Mr angel so I know we're still waiting for that  could you research to see if there's an other   another program that may have that capability sure  okay thank you look for another one yes it drills   i know that uh last year Sweetwater uh Union  High School District in 23 excuse me uh they were   hacked and businesses the business went down they  teachers went home staff went home and do we have   a drill for us if our systems go down do teachers  know what to do i mean a lot of them use they're   using their computers they're using a lot of stuff  i we have drills for everything so so I know that   what we do is uh we have um and I'll have u Mr  angelo talk about

288it but we do have a how do you   call it uh when we send out emails to to folks  and test to see if they click on it i know I   know a couple of board members i know a couple  of board members without seeing who not meick   clicked on it um and then they had to go through  a process you want to talk about it Mr angelo i   didn't I don't even get my email fishing yes so we  have numerous uh preventative measures in place we   have softwares that constantly are searching for  viruses and intrusions and that sort of thing we   have a staff member whose job it is to watch for  those sorts of things so in terms of being on the   lookout for that and trying to protect ourselves  from it uh

289we have that in place certainly and   we have redundancy plans for bringing things  back if we have problems but in terms of staff   having a plan for if a primary system goes down we  haven't really done that i I don't know how they   would get access to something if we lost access  to it but we can think about that a pencil and   paper plan i know i don't remember going home  the other u major thing that we've implemented   this year is a multifactor authentication so that  um really um you know protects the network more   also yeah another protective measure but most  of our applications we use are in the cloud so   it's unlikely that that those would get hacked  in a way that people couldn't use them but we   do have core systems like ehchool

290plus that does  all of our student records and things like that   that's something that would be more likely  to be impacted that we would need a plan for and I still think we need um or I believe strongly  there's more another article that came out   uh about the Sweetwater um water authority  and right now is a good time for us to   um see what else we we can do to someone  needs to keep an eye on it i know I tried   to but yeah like um we mentioned before we'll  we'll we'll go ahead and uh cost out a second   um purification water filtration system  well right it literally says that the   they they said we don't have treatment  in place for the PFAS chemicals Pas and um that their best reservoir was to blend it 

291with uncontaminated water well come on thank you   if we could please keep an eye on that for the  safety of our staff and our students that's it   thank you any reports my reports are already in  progress okay um board communications this is the   item on the agenda where members of the board of  education can communicate to the public the events   that they have participated in i participated in  the Rogers Special Olympics and it was an amazing   experience to see our children just enjoy  themselves and be kids and and to see that   pool and know um I know it wasn't part but we we  got to see the pool and just to see how great of   uh treating or supporting the treatment of our  special ed students um I also attended Sonia   Sotomayor's time time capsule
