Yes. Thanks. Yes. All right, thank you very much. Appreciate uh everyone coming out for that. It was great to be able to recognize our athletes, our scholar athletes. Uh all right, I think we can now move on to the presentation portion of our meeting. Uh Dr. Hillman, you want to get us going on that? Sure. And I'm going to ask um Dr. Lawson to step up. She's going to be
015providing the presentation of the Dwarte Unified School District local control accountability plan update which is the piece of it is the California school dashboard local indicators. Dr. Lawson, we're here listening. I know we lost a lot of your audience, but we are really looking forward to hearing about the local indicators. Well, good evening. It's good to be here again tonight to present some more information as it relates to our LCAP. Tonight I'm going be talking about our um local performance indicators, the self-reflection survey that has to be completed um annually. So the um um California local performance indicator self-reflection is completed annually by each local LEA um and that's our school district and it's done to demonstrate our progress on specific state priorities that are not measured by the state level data in the California
016school dashboard. So that's just a little information about why we need to do it. And now I want to go into some background about the local um local performance indicators. So the ELEAs determine whether they have met the standard for the five indicators and as I stated these are the ones that are not measured um by the um state level data. Um the LEA u must have a meeting um and we have to determine whether or not we've met the standard. We do a survey, a reflection survey. It has a series of questions that we get input from our from our stakeholders, our educational partners, from our administrators, from our teachers, from our parents. We use information from learning walks as well to come up with evidence to help support um our our reflections and
017what we say whether we met the standard or not. So there are three things that have to be done in order to meet the standard. The first one, we have to one complete the self-reflection. Okay? and that me we have to measure our progress by this locally available data. The second thing is we have to then report it in a board meeting. So that's number two. We're here to report it in a board meeting. And then number three, we have to upload that report um to um it goes on the California dashboard and that will come out around November 25. So those are the three steps that we need to complete in order to have a standard met. Okay. So I'm going to continue. So these are the eight state priorities. Just for your FYI,
018these are all um in our our LCAP and we have goals and actions that are directly aligned to these specific priorities, but I will be talking about five tonight. Next slide. All right. Priority number one. This is where we look at if we have appropriately assigned teachers and access to the curriculum aligned with the instructional materials, safe, clean, functional environment. Basically, the Williams report there. 100% of our school sites um have met this criteria here. In 2024, we had zero Williams complaints and this is a standard met for us. For priority number two, this is the implementation of state academic standards. So along with the self-reflection when we you know on the self-reflection form, we assess oursel we also take other data where we gather from our California school staff survey report. Um, and we
019also take information that we get from our structured learning walks to determine whether or not we're seeing those um, standards implemented in our classrooms across the district consistently at what particular level. We assess all that and we have a standard met on that because we fulfilled the three criteria. Next slide. For priority number three, this is with parent engagement and there are two ways that we're looking at this. Um, we look at our parent engagement opportunities. what opportunities do we present for our families to be able to engage in the process. So, we have our school site council meetings that are held at our school sites. We have our ELAC meetings that are held at the school site. We have our DAC meetings that are at the district level, our CEC meetings, um other family
020engagement opportunities or opportunities at the school site, family events, coffees with the principles, literacy night, science night, STEM night, etc. And then also how do we reach out to our parents? We use parent square. Um, we share our polls, direct messages, and share documents. And then we do our California schools parent survey. And in that survey, it asks a series of questions. That survey goes out in February. We had about 450 parents complete that survey. And on that survey, these are the three key areas that we were looking at building relationships between staff and families, looking at building our partnerships, and then seeking input for decision making. And so at our at our parent engagement opportunities, these committee meetings, we have opportunities for parent input. We do the thought exchange where we allow parents to
021give input at the school sites as well. They have opportunities for parents to give their input at the school site council meetings, at PTA meetings, at ELAC meetings as well. And we have a standard met on that. The next one is um priority number six was the school climate and then we administer that climate survey. And then I just shared some information here because we do administer the California schools climate survey and in that survey there's a couple of areas that we look at. Um we want to look at our students feeling safe at our school site and based upon the scores that we received when the students completed this survey in February. This is some data we had scores ranging between 86% to 96% of students feeling safe. Um under feeling safe there's a
022series of questions in in addition to that. So that's why there's a range of the on the percentages and then how are kids feeling connected to school and that ranges from 58% to 91% depending on the question that was asked on the survey and how the students responded is how we get the range of responses and then for school connectedness particularly looking at sixth grade I mean seventh grade and nth grade um 56 um% of the students felt connected 51% of the nth graders felt connected and then feeling safe at school for our um grade seven it was at 52% and um for grade 957 we do see a dip as it relates to our primary grades seems like our kids are feeling safer and more connected at those grade levels. So we want to
023continue to focus on that um in 7th through 12th grade to ensure that all of our kids feel safe at school and they feel connected and feeling connected is having a caring adult there. They have they can say that adults um assist them when they have issues. If they bring concerns about bullying or someone's bothering them or just overall about school concerns, they have an adult there. They feel like the adults are connected and they're caring about them. And that's one of the pieces there in terms of safety. It also looked at, you know, how kids feel about is there bullying, are they feeling harassed? Um and the scores just kind of ranged on by the grade levels and the information that we received from our survey. And then we look at number seven, which
024is access to a broad course of study. So we look at what courses are presented to our students um in our at our high school campus. Are we providing equitable access to all of our student groups, particularly our English learners, our economically disadvantaged students, all far youth, our students with disability? Do they all have access to a broad course of study? Do they have access to all the subject areas? And then one of the areas when we're looking at um one of the uh I don't know priority number two we're talking about the implementation of state standards that also goes along with the implementation of the broad courses study. So we teaching do kids have access to these different courses and then what does the level of implementation look like with the instruction of those
025areas and what does that look like districtwide and what does that look like um districtwide in class on the on the school campus in every classroom. And on these next slide we have a standard minute on that. So the next steps are we will now from this meeting once you get this information you do have a copy of the reflection and on that reflection you'll see there's um a rating scale from like one to five and it looks like the highest level of full implementation was sustainability and then the lowest level of not seeing that there I think what's clear to note is the levels three four and five where we look at are we in initial stages of implementation versus full implementation versus implementation and it's sustainable. And I think one thing to note
026when we look at that, we're looking at um for full full implementation, we're saying that districtwide, at every campus, and every classroom, we're seeing the same level of consistency of implementation. And I think that's important to note. So, if we're not able to fully say in every classroom, at every site across the district, we see that, we're not going to say that we're at full level of implementation. um if we're at a level three, we're looking at that's happening in, you know, maybe um about 50% of the classes. It doesn't mean the that the other classrooms are not doing it, but the level of implementation and the consistency of what we want to see, we're not seeing that consist consistently in all of the classrooms. So, just I think it's clear to note um important
027to note those levels three versus level four versus level five. And then this is a self-reflection. And so it's an opportunity for us to share our story and to be honest about where we are and where our next steps are as a team. How do we work together to get to that level five because our ultimate goal is to ensure that we're doing um we're implementing these and addressing these priorities and have an implementation of the state standards in every classroom and our in our and at every school site and the same level of implementation. And one other thing to note when we're looking at the level of implementation as it relates to the state standards is looking at our um adoptions and where we are in terms of our understanding of the mathematic frameworks
028framework and the reading framework. And so there there have been some changes to the frameworks and we have not all of our staff has they have not all been trained on the new mathematics framework. And so in order to have that full implementation on standard priority number two, we would want to say that every staff member has been trained and that has not happened. But we do have um staff members going to training this summer for the mathematics framework. And so we're getting that going and we are looking at how we can bring some sight specific training of the mathematics framework so that our teachers are getting that training on the new framework as well as with reading framework and ELD so that we can increase that level of implementation across the district. So next
029steps again are to then upload the progress on our local indicators to the fall 25 dashboard. And Dr. Finley, I remember in our uh study session, you asked this question about the local indicators about their self-reflection. So I hope that this brings more some more insight into in terms of what it is and how we use it and how we use that information. And the information from um this reflection does go into how we develop the LCAP and looking at our actions and looking at our goals and making sure that we're continuing to make um strides in addressing the needs of all of our student students and particularly working to close that academic achievement gap. We know that that is something that we are going to continue to aggressively approach in our district. So I'm
030go back again because I keep trying to get to the next steps to finish these last five points and so I'm going to finish it now. We're going to up the next step is to upload the progress for the local indicators. Then it the dashboard will be launched typically around November early December and that's when we studied the information. Last year we had our board study session. We look at the academic piece as well as the information from the survey. Um we will then use that information. We'll analyze the data that we get. We'll have more information um from our ESBback or CAST assessments, the spring assessments. will have that data along with other data that we've collected from the sites to be able to identify our areas of strength and then our areas where
031we need to continue to grow. And then we will take that information. Schools use that information to drive their school site plans. We use it to community drive um how we make adjustments with our instruction, how we make adjustments with with interventions for our students, how we make adjustments in how we increase to increase parent engagement, what opportunities can we provide for parents, what opportunities can we provide for our staff, what opportunities can we provide for our administrators to ensure that we all continue to grow. And then we use that dashboard information to update our LCAP goals and actions and we start the whole cycle all over again. So that is the information for our local indicators. Any questions? Dr. Lawson, thank you so much. Really appreciate uh you going through uh those items. Those
032are very helpful. Uh so before I ask any questions, board, are there any questions or comments for Dr. Lawson? I do have one question. When you're talking about the implementation levels, where can we find those levels? Can you remind me? Yeah, so you could go to the CDE. Okay. You can go to CD website and you can find those levels, the five levels. Thank you. And it breaks it down, you know, the descriptor of each one. Okay. Thank you. Any other comments or questions, board? And on and um Dr. Lasson and uh priority number three when uh you mentioned seeking input for decision making making. Can you explain a little bit more about that part please? Yes. So, one of the one of the ways is I'm going to talk about school site council, how
033we get information and the decision-m when schools are looking at their budgets and they're looking at their data and trying to and determining what it is they need to do to improve achievement for students. We have parents at those meetings. Parents can weigh in on these are we think we need more interventions. We we may need more instructional materials. Um is tutoring available? What are we doing in terms of um technology for our students? and we seek their input at the school site. Um in our DAC meetings and our ELAC meetings at the school site, we're talking to our parents of English learners and we talk to them know what is it you feel that your students need. We're sharing the data. We're sharing um practices and strategies that we use to work with our
034English learners. We're sharing their progress. In our DAC meetings, we do the same as well. We talk about the um steps to reclassify students and how do we know if a student is proficient or not? What does that look like? What are some things that parents can do at home? Parents are able to share what happens at their school site to ask questions. Um, I share the information about the LCAP, our goals, our actions. We talk specifically about the ones that relate to those specific student groups. They can weigh in and ask questions, give us input, make recommendations, say things that we need to improve on. Um, those are ways at our CC meeting as well. We share that information, give parents opportunity to ask questions, give parents opportunity to make recommendations, suggestions. We also
035look for um input on you know what are we doing well where can we grow we want to hear where we're making a difference we also want to hear where we can al we can improve and so all that information is collected at those uh meetings and then at the coffee with the principles the sites do host those meetings um not all sites host them at the same level but they do have opportunities for parents to come they talk about instruction they talk about school climbing and culture what does parent engagement look like um what supports we need for our kids how can we make this our school a happy place how can how we make our district a better place for our families so we can continue to be a place that people want
036to send their students to learn. You're welcome. Uh thank you Dr. Lawson. Uh one one thing I want to make a comment on. So you had mentioned that for feedback from parents you got 450 parents to respond. Um that's really commendable. uh just uh so I don't I don't know what uh what was done to to reach out to parents, but I think that's a really nice sample size. So um I'm pleased that that we had that much uh engagement. I mean I think that in and of itself is maybe a measure of engagement um from our parents. Um so in in relation to these these sort of self assessment scores that we give um do as this process is taking place is is there ever sort of a look back to say okay what
037did we do you know what did we score ourselves last year or three years ago to sort of see whether or not we're we're moving the needle on a lot of these measurements. So that wasn't a specific question. The question is what what have we done? What are we doing well and what where do we need to continue to grow? So I think that does allow for that opportunity for that reflection, but it's more it's presented more like that. I see. Okay. And then some of the areas particularly when we look at the implementation of with the state standards, we're also looking at where we are with some of our adoptions and um the stages where we are and we just adopted for example our science in our in our K8. We did adopt the
038science and so there's a greater focus looking at the NGSS standards because of a new curriculum that we have but some of our curriculum is a little old. So that also kind of impacts our reflection in terms of when we say where we are in terms of our level of implementation over the course of time when you've had a particular adoption um when you get to like the eighth year you start to see a lot of variations of what it should look like. And so that's one area for us to continue to focus on ensuring that consistency of practices is happening across the district. Excellent. Okay. Thank you board. Any other questions or comments for Dr. Lawson? I have a quick question. Dr. Lawson on number six. Um the response for um school climate is
039that done for from fifth grade to 12th or is it just from 5th to 9th? So that one is done it's fifth, 7th, 9th and 11th grade. Yes. And then depending on the sample size will determine the our scores that we re that the scores that we receive. So we can have a we need a large enough sample size to get um accurate data good measure. Thank you. You're welcome. All right. Well, thank you very much Dr. Lawson. We really appreciate the time and effort that went into this uh this report and this presentation. Thank you. All right. Next, we'll go uh to Dr. Dr. Hillman for the superintendence report. Good evening. Thank you, Dr. Lawson. Excellent report. I just like to u mention to everyone that as we close out the month of June,
040I'd like to share that just a couple of updates that are going on here in the summer. It's a little quiet around here. Our summers, but our summer school programs are just wrapping up with many of our students completing their coursework while others are continuing with internships and other um enrichment opportunities. Um, just for the community's sake to know that our summer meal dist distribution program will continue to serve students throughout the month of July. While many of and while many of our teachers and administrators are on well-deserved breaks, others are participating in professional learning and attending trainings that uh Dr. Lawson was speaking of right now um that that help support the important work that we have for our students. Um, just as a note to our families are reminded to complete their student
041registration for the new school year. they'll receive notification after July 21st. When you see that coming in, make sure you um complete that registration form. And then behind the scenes, just a shout out to our maintenance and custodial and technology teams that are hard at work on projects that ensure our campuses are clean, safe, and ready for the first day of school, which is August 13, 2000. I almost said 19 2025. Um construction is progressing on the interior of our new gym. The final pieces are put being put in place. And once we receive that final inspection, the construction team turns the facility over to us. We will plan opportunities for students, staff, and families and the community to tour the new amazing space. We don't have a firm date yet, but we'll share that
042information as soon as everything is confirmed. And finally, regarding the proposed development of the Andress Dardi campus property, the city of Darti has published the environmental impact report provided by the developer. This report is available for review on the city's website and public comment is encouraged through the end of July. Once the public comment period closes, the planning commission will hold a meeting to review the project, bringing us one step closer to transforming that site. The proposed project includes significant upgrades to the adjacent park benefiting the entire community as well as family oriented housing designed to attract new families to Darty and to our great schools. So, thank you for that. Concludes my report and I look forward to see hope everyone has a wonderful summer. Thank you very much, Dr. Hillman. All right. Uh,
043do we have any requests to address the board? All right. Thank you very much. Okay. We'll now move on to the general functions.

Um, and so we are on to non-aggendaized items. So, yes. So, ju just as a
049reminder, 15.5 was pulled from the agenda. All right. So, we'll move on now to uh non-aggendaized items. Uh, so I'll start on my end and move that way. How about that? I think we did the opposite uh earlier this month. Uh so um I I want to uh just express some gratitude for uh all of our uh Dart Unified teachers and certificate or certificated staff, classified staff, management, everybody who uh in in my opinion made this past school year a really big big success uh for our students. It was really a special one. I think especially it was poignant for me because I had a senior who was graduating. Um, and I think that it really was a year to remember. Um, and and for all all three of our kids, they they really really
050enjoyed this school year. And uh I'm I'm very very grateful for all those that work to educate uh our scholars to keep them safe and to make sure that uh school is a positive environment for them to come to each and every day during the school year. And I think there there's probably no better testament to that than when I hear about the number of students that are participating in summer school this summer. I I believe I heard it was around a thousand students. Is that correct? Um that is I mean, you know, I I know that there there's probably some kids that have to make up some credits, but that is the minority of those students that are attending this summer. Our our kids are hungry for knowledge. are hungry for learning. They're hungry
051for doing something important with their lives. And I think that Dart Unified is able to provide that. And so I'm really thankful for all those that make that happen each and every day, even during the summer. So just a little bit of of gratitude for all that make that magic happen on our campuses. So thank you. Uh board member Diaz, I echo some of your comments. And that will do it for tonight for me. Thank you very much, board member Oeen. Um, I have been at the high school and yes, there's all the kids are out there. They are excited. I've seen some of the teachers engaging with the kids, especially at Maxwell. It's really refreshing and um just like you said um everybody's been working so hard. Thank you. I want to thank everybody,
052the staff, teachers, the parents, Steve for coming to most of our meetings and um look forward to next month and the kids coming um getting ready to come back to school. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. All right, board member Hasso, thank you so much. Um, congrats to the athletes we recognize tonight and u just a great testament to the programs that we offer um not just academically but um our sports programs and thanks to the coaches. I know um they're they're extending their day to um support our athletes. And so just a little shout out to them. I had the opportunity to visit Maxwell um I believe it was on Tuesday this week um with uh Dr. Hillman and Miss Steinstra to get a little uh peak of their brain trust program which we voted
053on in May for implementation over the course of the summer. And that was that um kind of math uh program with the um four students to a group um through brain trust and it was really eye opening and neat to see it in action and so thank you to Dr. Helman and Mrs. Steinstra for opening uh the classrooms. It helped demystify what was presented on paper. So I think it's a good opportunity um to address students needs um in those small groups which we wouldn't otherwise have the capacity to do given um our staff. Uh Dr. Lawson, thank you for the update on the LCAP. And um I think that's all I wanted to say tonight. So, thank you so much. All right. Thank you very much, board member Hasso and board member Reyes. Yes,
054thank you. Um, I had an opportunity to go play tennis the other day with my wife and family and we went on the courts. Um, and I'm paying for it tonight. I've been paying for it for the last three days. I I promised myself I wasn't going to stretch and reach for that ball. I was gonna let it come to me, but my my pride got in the way. Um, but um I I just wanted to know who who is going to be responsible to um keep the tennis courts clean. Okay. Is it our our responsibility or the parks and wreck? Um and then there's a hole in the fence. Okay. That's that's been there I guess for a while. And I want to say I believe There's someone sleeping on one of the tennis
055courts because we saw blankets piled up in a corner. Uh and and I don't mind taking my blower out there to clean the courts. I've done it before when my daughter was on the tennis team. So, I have no problem doing that. Uh the other the other thing was that um I've been told too that we're supposed to have police patrolling. Is that true on the campus or they don't come on the campus? Okay. Because there's been people also sleeping under the bleachers at the at the on the football field, you know, under those bleachers. They're I guess they're back again cuz we had that issue years before, you know. Um and and thank you for getting the fencing at Valley View done. That that was important to some of the parents over there. they
056they really appreciate it and told me to thank you. Um, and that's it for tonight. Uh, have a happy 4th everybody. You know, maybe we'll see you over there at the park on the 3. On the third. Yeah. Thank you. Have a good evening. Excellent. Thank you very much, board member Reyes. Uh, Dr. Helman, do you have anything that you wanted to wrap up with? Well, given that it's me between everybody getting out of here before 8 o'clock, I'd like to start by saying good night everyone have. All right. Thank you very much. Okay. So, do we have a motion to adjourn the meeting? So moved. Second. Motion by board member Reyes, second by board member Hasso. Any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. I. Thank you very much board. Okay.
