And uh it features background music and voice acting. Most of the students that you'll see here tonight get to have dual electives because of our zero period class, which is wonderful because those who need the remedial math or science can still have that fun thing to come to school
003for. On top of that, we also have a fairly robust portion of our special education uh population that get to have an elective as well because of that extra class that we have. Our performers for today are as follows. We have our vocal t vocal talent, excuse me. We have uh Izzy, who is going to be playing our hard-nose cop who has a slight like uh like old school southern draw to her. We have Jordan who's going to be our narrator uh a coworker of our cop and uh a grandma. And then we have Abby who's going to be performing some uh background sound effects as well as being our uh lead villain of the program. Uh performing up here we have a smattering of students from seventh and eighth grade. We have Leo on

Before we turn our microphone over to our esteemed administration staff, Miss Bos asked me to talk as long as possible. Um, we wanted to first of all thank everyone uh from the board and from our district administration who came out and supported our music spectacular last week. Last week, we had just over 1,900 students on stage at the Lancaster Performing Arts Center performing in front of almost 6,000 people. Also wanted to welcome our new administrators to campus. We have for our new uh admin that we're really excited to work with next year and that is Dr. Garcia and Mrs. Klein. So, I'll quickly pass that back to you guys first. here because the board has something for. So,
008if you guys could come back up here real quick for me, please. All of you come back up. They have something for you. All right, you guys. Nobody else get out correctly, right Jerry? Good job. Don't know. I am Rash. I'm the very lucky principal at Armarosa Creek Middle School and I have Scott Kcord and Cherry Derville here with me are two esteemed assistant principles and Mr. Lewis has been amazing. He's been with us forever and he gets kids playing the strings and he has concerts within the first month of school. So he has complaint very quickly and we have as he said zero period strings and then all of the So I want to thank the board for supporting and getting all the things that we need for it because they have some very
009odd instruments that I have no idea how to play and we have one final concert where admin and teachers will also be with the kids. So I will send the date to you guys so you can see everybody participating and one more round for our students. They did amazing again. So I enjoy myself. So next move on to information two items enrollment record. So I'll be sending in for Dr. this evening for the enrollment report. Our enrollment counts are at uh 13,942 students uh uh transitional kindergarten through 8th grade. 477 students in our early learning program for a total of 14,419 students. That is nine more students from our last board meeting and it is um negative 208 students from the same time last year. addition, we have 1,148 homeless uh students, 338 foster students,
010and 74 military families district. Thank you. 1200 public disclosure of collective bargaining. So AB uh AB1200 the government code requires all proposals between the public employers and exclusive representatives to be presented at a public meeting and therefore become public record. In addition, this proposal is required to be posted for public review and comments prior to board action. The disclosures have been posted on our website since April 5th along with the agenda. Disclosures for management unrepresented and tow are also posted and on December 17th agenda. [Music] Okay. Reason request proposal report the early learning department. Okay. All right. The first ever highlight on to a four-year-old experience for children of California. They recognize that children will come to kindergarten classroom with different journeys. Some will go through private people, some face, some through our own state
011program. Economist Hecman talked about the return on investment and the earlier that we intervene or support children, the better the return on investment. In our early learning department, we have made a historic investment in our district to co-mingle the children in UTK and state school to make sure that we are providing them a high quality urban learning experience that is playbased the way the state asked us to do. One of the things the state asked us to do was become bridge builders between the early learning and care system and the TK12 uh system which slide in the last So in this space, the universal preschool program is the bridge builder between the early care and learning system and the LEA system. And our staff that's here tonight has really done uh the big lift on
012changing their pedagogical focus and really embracing that point-based experience and elevating the early childhood education feature and all of the historic knowledge and the practices that that they have and brought them together into the experience. So let's look at the highlights from the uh program. First thing we want to highlight a amazing enrollment system that we have and we have enrollment staff here tonight that uh has been working really hard to enroll the children in the pay program and in the state school program. We are one of very few districts in the state of California that did this and what it has allowed us to do is to fill our uh entire state program and over earn on our contract. By using increasing dollars to leverage funding, we're able to reduce the ratio in the
013classroom and increase that quality for children. We are currently supporting 130 children that have special education services in our uh general education program, 289 families who have identified themselves as dual language learning families, 29 foster and 81 homeless children. One of the other amazing ways and we have our nurse practitioner and health staff here tonight that we remove barriers for children is to create our own vaccine clinic. We hired our nurse practitioner and a medical director to oversee the vaccine clinic and to date have given 369 vaccines to our district children meaning that we have zero exclusions in the preschool or UT program. We also are administering physicals to the children which has been a historic place where children are excluded from the program and they wait up to 90 days for a pediatrician in
014the valley to see them and provide that required physical. We have um covered what we believe is around 440 days of attendance because we provide the physical when the child enrolls and get them in class as soon as humanly possible. We also are working with Dr. Steven Israel who's providing eye exams for our children and um providing glasses right away which is u providing them an additional removing an additional barrier for families. One of the other things we're super proud of is a few years ago the early learning department wrote a grant and received a grant called the classified California classified workforce grant. To date, we are funding 28 Lancaster School District employees to earn their credentials and have invested around $216,000. We have graduated one student in 2024. Two more graduate this spring. In
015a couple of weeks, UMass is in week seven or finishing. They are super excited about that. In the fall, we will they will graduate eight more. We are currently hiring nine interns that are being funded out of this program and four of them are in need. state program has credentials. A couple of them are here tonight. Um and in addition to that, 15 other employees are working as an early learning program. We have a couple of MTSS parents and one prep week. We also uh work hard each day. The people who work in this program know how hard we work each day to regulate children's social emotional learning and working to make sure that we are teaching them strategies uh like belt breathing, deep breathing or any kind of breathing to help them recognize they're
016getting upset and to own and name their feeling and to build independence. We work hard each day to do that. Crystal, our coordinator, did go out and interview some children. And this little one, she asked, "What do you do when you get upset?" And she responded, "Well, I take a deep breath." Which is what we want them to do. Um in the early learning program we are using this um uh recommendations to provide a play-based learning program which includes learning centered music and movement um read allows all of the things that are appropriate for children to provide a diverse and equitable access to the space um each day. We also teach reading, writing and math in our foundational skills and we assess the children with a line assessment that covers all those foundational skills that
017children are learning throughout the day. Crystal asked this little guy, "What are you learning in UTK?" And he said, "The ABC on numbers and of course the alphabet." Also support families throughout the program with our movie nights. We have had two movie nights and our third one is on Friday evening on slide and we have one literacy event. We are planning for a math and science event coming soon. And our last but most exciting thing that we have done is a kindergarten and moment event. The first one we've done, we invited the teachers on the site, the kindergarten teachers to meet the upcoming was a really amazing day, fun for kids and we can't staff at the sites enough and we have animals and I would like to share the impact of the program on
018them. The first one is Norma. She is an early learning specialist who is recently embarrassing her master. And I'm a lot of Jason has on her. Um, I think when she comes to school and I, you know, it wouldn't just I'm drunk. You want and stuff. This space and we are providing an early childhood program that is topnotch in the state and I'm so proud to be their director. Okay. Thank you for all that. Thank you so much. on the individual action items. Adoption of March 2025 semianual report as an object to facilities. Oh yeah. So yeah, I guess I think we have some Oh.

Oh well hey she she was here perfect. Okay apologies very quickly. um this is an actual official adoption of language arts uh curriculum. So I wanted to share with you the process for how we came to this decision and tell you
020you know we got to come to the board and say this is a big deal. Um so I have with me this evening um and I know you've already voted on it. Thank you on my job. Uh I want I have with me tonight my team that actually made this happen. We have two things on the agenda this evening. One is our ELA curriculum for 68 and the other one is our Spanish elective Spanish language elective curriculum. We're going to start with ELA because that's what you voted on. Um but I brought my team uh Christy Zeno and Ann Valenulo my Christy is my district coach for language arts and Ann is my coordinator of CIA and the two of them have run this pilot um and adoption recommendation. So hats off to them. Um
021I'm just going to stand up here and take their credit for it, but it was really them. Um, and if you are a pilot teacher and audience of either one of these programs, ra wave your hand. We've got a few of them. So, thanks. Huge shout out to our pilot teachers. All right, very quick. It is amazing here. Okay, just I'm not going to read every thing on here, but just so you know, our process for this um our current language arts adoption um with the hill is wonders and studies that officially ends this year. Uh we have uh already put in the adoption for our K5 curriculum moving forward for next year. Uh but we needed to do an actual um super pilot super good pilot primer um for 68. And so uh we
022did a we did a process with that. We got together a committee. We looked at a couple different programs. Uh I think they looked at four different programs and chose two to pilot. Um you can see there it was my perspectives and HMH literature. Uh team of about 14 teachers and administrator and of course my team leading the way. Uh piloted these two programs for about five weeks each over the course of January and February. They got together with the company. They were trained. They um they got together and had discussions. They looked at different criteria for what would be a good fit for us. Um and then we also got public input uh from teachers and the in the public as well and students as well. Um we looked at alignment to grade level
023standards, cultural relevancy, differentiation support, technology um supports as well. Um different assessment options, lot everything that you look for in a quality language arts program. So they all kind of rated them and ranked them and discussed what worked and what didn't. It was a tough decision, but at the end of the day, they unanimously chose Satisfy Perspectives as our new language arts adoption for uh 68. And just so you know, our next steps for this program, um the state has been uh behind on their adoptions um recently. And so the math framework adoption moved us behind by quite a few years. And so our language arts adoption at the state level is pushed back another four or five years. So we are adopting this program for four years. We feel that um right now our
024best guess is that the state will come out with a new um approved framework and new curriculum for adoption in the 2728 school year. We're adopting for one more year beyond that just to cover our bases because we don't have official confirmation. So we will run this program for four years uh sixth, seventh and eighth grade. Um and we will be training on this program in the spring and also at the beginning of the year. You may now vote And I'm gonna stay up here for the Spanish one. You want to do the next one? Let me read it and then I'll go ahead and vote. You just got a three zero adoption of Spanish language um elective for grades six through eight or Okay. Um, this one was run by my uh, amazing coordinator
025Annulo and she did a fantastic job. We only have four Spanish elected teachers in the district. Um, but they have asked me for a couple years now, can we look at some new curriculum because we don't know when the first when the curriculum was adopted. It's been before since I was here, since I've been here and it's been almost 10 years. So, we felt it our time it was time to look at a new Spanish curriculum. And so, um, we did very similar process with the Spanish curriculum rented at the same time. Um she brought in these four teachers. They looked at um world language standards and everything that goes along with the Spanish language um and teaching that to our sixth through eighth grade students. Um the four teachers got together. They looked at
026four different programs, piloted two of them. Uh Carnegie Learning, Quesa Vera, I apologize if I said that wrong. Um and Vista Higher Learning um Cinderos. Um and so uh after much discussion um evaluation of the different um qualities of the program again the teachers unanimously chose Vista Higher Learning Cinderos for the six Spanish language election election. So um this adoption um if if so approved will be an eight-year adoption. We're not on a a state board timeline like we are with language arts and math. So this will be an 8year adoption.
