009I will still read the statement but it will be um comments regarding non-aggenda items. So and then the regular items you can discuss we can public comment when we get to the items. Uh let's see here. The public may address the board regarding any item within the jurisdiction of the board of education of the Martinez Unified School District. For items on the agenda, public comment at the time the board considers the agenda item. For items not on the agenda, the public may comment under public comment. These comments are limited to three minutes each. 20 minutes have been allocated for this portion of the agenda. Additional time is allowed at the end of the meeting if there was not enough time to speak during public comments. To comply with the Brown Act, the board may listen
010to comments from speakers but can neither discuss nor take action on issues presented. Members of the board are very limited in their response to statements or questions by persons commenting on items not on the agenda. I see we have one public comment. Kina Monttero and Ethan Bosa.

So, uh, the play is a story of a celebrity guest who is invited to dinners and overstays his welcome in a small town in the late 1930s. He takes
011over, um, over the home of his host and interferes with their lives and causes general chaos. >> Our cast of 26 AHS students have been rehearsing since early September to bring this show to the stage. We have a full student crew and two classes of stage crafts students who have been designing and building our sets, creating props, and programming lighting and sound.

We learn leadership skills, how to communicate, and work as a team. Uh we develop solutions to issues that come up and incorporate feedback. >> All of our productions are
012funded entirely by ticket revenue and fundraising. So attending a show and bringing along friends and family ensur ensures we are able to continue to bring theater to to our school and community.

Do we have any changes to the consent calendar? >> No changes to the consent calendar. >> Do I have a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve the consent calendar. >> Second. >> All those
013in favor? >> I. >> So moved. Again, the public will have an opportunity to make additional to make public comment on each discussion agenda item after the staff presentation. Martinez Unified School District special ed update MUSD framework framework of focused teaching and learning. Matthew Jensen. >> Good evening, board members and Superintendent Patrick. Tonight, I will be doing a brief presentation. Um, the first part will be primarily on an overview of special education. We went through something similar around the spring of last school year, but since we've had a couple new board members, I felt like it would be a good refresher. and then the second half of the presentation will be on statistics related to special education in Martinez unified. So a brief recap um the idea is a federal law that governs special education.
014Um special education consists of a lot of federal and state laws and regulations but this is the overarching law and it has six core principles which we will look at in the next slide. So, I'm not going to go over every core principle in detail, but just a couple of pieces of information. Um, FAPE stands for free and appropriate public education. Um, and that's what we're as a district required to provide for a student who's found eligible. Um, an appropriate education that's free of charge to the parents or legal guardians. Um, that it provides them with access to the general education curriculum. Um and then we'll talk a little bit about LRE or least restrictive environment. But that is a very important principle of the idea um that requires us to always consider general education
015um for students who have disabilities. Um and then on top of the core principles um the IDA's intent is that well there's a couple of intents. Um of course we always want to prepare students for the future. So we're preparing them K to2 but how can we ensure that they are successful? um post-secary um very importantly we want to make sure that students are receiving special education services but that special education is not a place um so oftent times I will try and make sure that my language is appropriate to that um a student has a disability who's receiving services versus oh this special ed student is in a special day class for example um and then again we really want to ensure that to the maximum extent possible they are accessing the general education
016curriculum And to be found eligible for an IEP, which is the plan that is governed by the IDEIDA, um they have to be eligible under one of 13 eligibility categories. Um but beyond that, there needs to be an educational impact. Um and oftent times the impact we look at is academic in nature, but we have to remind ourselves that there's a lot more to academics than a child's education. So their social emotional well-being um how they're performing in school overall um is something we consider when looking at the impact. Um and then also just as important is that we need to be sure that they actually require specialized instruction. Um there are many brilliant students with disabilities who may struggle in school but with the supports in general education don't require specialized instruction. So that
017third prong is just as important as the first two. Um when we look at a child with a disability, they're just that, a child with a disability. And so we have to look them at them as individuals. We always say a child with autism is a child with autism. Um and no two children are the same. Um the least restrictive environment is a policy that applies to all ch children. So when we're developing an IEP, we always want to look at general education first and what supports they require to access general education. Um and then we look at if they require services outside of that setting um to make progress on goals. That was a very brief overview of special education. Um but I I wanted to spend a little bit more time looking at
018the uh details specific to data in Martinez Unified. So as you can see, and I'm catching up on my screen, um as you can see here, I have data that has tracked the percentage of students with disabilities since the 1920 school year. Um the state average right now actually the state average not right now this data comes from the beginning of the school year it might have shifted is about 13.1% and the SULPA average which is a cohort of districts in the county is at about 13.6%. Um so you will see that it has risen um to about 16.8% at its peak in the 2324 school year. Um, but I'm happy to share that it has declined um, steadily and we are at 15.97% currently. Um, I had to be specific because otherwise it'd round
019up to 16. So I wanted to round to the hundredth place. Um, so that is great news and a lot of the work we're doing with MTSS and interventions in general ed I believe is um, helping to support um, this decline. And then this was actually from last school year. Uh for those board members that were on the board last school year, we looked at um the percentage of students with disabilities being educated um 80% or more of a school day. That's the target that we're looking for um in general education. Um and we saw last year that um our percentage was lower than the CDE target as well as the state and county average just slightly. Um, so this is data from last school year, but I wanted to provide an update on the
020next slide about data from this current school year. Um, I want to preface this by sharing um, a couple things. One, this data was not certified. I collected this data using our own system um, versus the prior year's data was certified um, by the CDE. But I also wanted to add that this is in no way a reflection of the amazing work our school sites are doing. more so just data that we can use to reflect as a district and look for ways in for improvement. Um so last year we were at 55.1% of our students with IEPs were educated 80% or more of the school day in general education. Um and as of this month we are at 61.6%. So we have seen about an increase of 5.5% if I can do some quick
021math um districtwide in every single school site um increased with their percentages educated a percent of students educated 80% or more in the school day. Um so great data to share with all of you tonight and that is all I have. I'd love to entertain any questions or comments. >> Thank you very much. That was in interesting information. So, thank you for providing that. Um, do you have questions? >> Thank you all for this. Uh, and I apologize I did not email you in advance, so I'm not trying to throw you off, but uh, I know in the last few weeks I've heard from a lot of concerned people, I think rightfully so, about what is happening at the federal level with the Department of Education. And so I don't expect you to have answers
022now, but I would request that as I think it's very rapidly unfolding and so we don't really know what the impact will be on our district, but as we do, if you can in the weekly update communicate that to the board and if we feel like there is at a point necessary to communicate anything to the public, perhaps we can revisit this with a couple of slides with an update because I know people are feeling very uneasy about things. >> Yes, I'm happy to do that. And Matthew, I just had a quick um question and I just want to make sure that I'm clear on the reason for the decline is not because we are not providing services to students that that need them. It's because perhaps prior students had been mclassified. Is that a
023fair statement or can you explain that briefly? So, so, um, I think first and foremost, we've been doing a lot of work with our school psychologists on students who may be ready to exit special education. So, we've successfully um, exited with parent legal guardian consent um, students who no longer needed services, but I think um, it's not necessarily that we weren't classifying students. It's more that we are looking at ways to support students in general education and intervening prior to considering an IEP. Um and so we've really alongside the other directors in the room worked on um our MTSS framework and ways to support students and intervene before we need to move forward with assessment. >> Great. Thank you. >> Any other questions board members? No. Uh public comment? >> No. Okay. Thank you very
024much. That was very informative and great questions. Next we have consideration of Martina's adult education apprenticeship salary increase. Janelle Ayat. >> Good evening. Um this item is being brought forward for information for your consideration. Um the adult education program as you know runs several different apprenticeship programs and the teachers of the apprenticeship programs um are part of their local unions. In this case, the heat and frost insulators local 16 um is running this apprenticeship program and they are paid at the journey level um worker salary which has recently been increased and so um in line with that we are um requesting an increase to for the teacher salary. Um there is no impact to our general fund. Um the funds for these teachers comes out of the related supplemental instruction funding um which is um
025provided to the adult ed program to support apprenticeship education. Um so this is information tonight and will be brought back in two weeks as part of the consent calendar. Great. Thank you very much. Any questions? You did a great job of explaining that. Those are the questions we were going to ask. Public comment. No. Okay. We'll see that in two weeks. Next we have the Williams visit MUSD framework of focus teaching and learning Amy Espinosa. >> Good evening board members and superintendent Patrick. Um tonight I am going to share with you information from our Williams visit that occurred this year. A reminder, the Williams visit is um based on standards of service that we must provide to students and there are formal visits that take place um based on cycles. This year is the first
026year of a three-year cycle. We had just finished a three-year cycle with Martinez Junior High School. So, you've had the this type of update from me in the past. Um, but this year we had three additional schools and we had our facilities visit on August 15th and our instructional visit on August 19th. During instructional visits, there's a document review as well as instructional materials review. You'll see here um based on the documents reviewed that we were able to provide um the documents requested and we were in compliance with our SARKC which is our um school accountability report card for instructional materials. You'll see that we have um met sufficiency in all areas. And sufficiency means that students have access to digital and hard copy, digital only or hard copy only. It doesn't mean that we
027have additional sets, but it means that each student enrolled within those courses has access to one set. with our facility visits. Um, as you can see here, we have kept our facilities in good standing. U, many of our facilities are fairly new. And, um, there is a document review with a facility visit as well, which is our uniform complaint policy that's required to be posted in all the classrooms or common areas of the school. Here you'll see that two of our schools um were exemplary and we had two schools in good standing. This is in thanks to our maintenance and u facilities department. They uh receive information from the first facility visit that occurs on August um 15. And from that information, they go back through and complete a number of work orders. And then
028we resubmit all those work orders to show um what work we have completed between then and the due date, which was September 30th. And so we were ranked a little bit lower prior to those work orders getting completed, but as you can see here, two of our schools are at the highest ranking and two of our schools are at the next highest ranking. Good is right below exemplar with fair and poor being the other two rankings. Any questions? Thank you Amy. I did have one question. So when they give you a list of things that need to be completed um and you complete them within the time period, does that change your rating or your rating stays from before? >> It does change our rating. So uh I can't remember. I'll give you an example.
029This is an exact example, but Alhhamra High School had a rating in the 70% the first time. And then Jared and I are given that information and we are given each area that a work order can be completed on. And then uh he goes out with his team and they complete those work orders and then we send in additional documents showing that. The same with instructional materials. if they go into a classroom and see that a student might be missing an instructional material, that information is given to me so that I'm able to reach out and get um get additional books or invoices and purchase orders as proof of purchase as we wait for it to arrive. >> Great. Thank you. Questions? Additional questions? Public comment? No. Great. Well, thank you very much. And you're
030up again with professional development 2025 2026 framework of focus teaching and learning. >> Thank you. Good evening again. Um tonight I'm just going to review our professional development days for the year. We have three district dates. Um, two have already occurred. So, we're looking forward to our next one in March. In August, just a reminder, we have both our classified and certificated personnel during this professional development day. This is the only professional development day that has both sets of our personnel. So, during August, we were able to um have a variety of topics and I'll highlight just a few of them for you. We continued our work with Universal Design for Learning, but we did um have a new uh company or partnership come in and do a keynote which was changing perspectives. I think
031um Trustee Lial attended and I'm not sure if anyone else did. And then also we had um our reading difficulties risk screener. The board approved our um RDRS in June and we went with multitude. So this was a frontloading of information to our teaching staff. And then I'll skip down to Keenan training. Each year we give time to our staff members certificated and classified to complete their Keenan training which are required modules from the state based on our uh role in the district. And so those need to be completed by a specific date typically in September. For October, we had um half of the day and in the afternoons uh the certificated staff members went to their school sites. The morning consisted of the required reading difficulties risk screener training for our K2 teachers and
032UCSF came out and did this training in person. We also had um universal design for learning from SPG therapy which targeted our co-eing classes and our parasported classes at the secondary levels as well as um we offered artificial intelligence is something that's come up a few times on how are we going to support this where are we going with this there are multiple modules that are listed on the California Department of Education site that is called um learning with AI, learning about AI. And during this time frame um staff members were able to self- select the modules that were important to them and then give feedback on what they would like in the future. So for March, we already are planning um as you know, I typically send out a request to facilitate a session
033in November to our staff members to see if I can get any staff members that are willing to um take the time to facilitate a session for their peers. So, we're looking forward to continuing our work with uni universal design for learning and visual and performing arts K12 plan. This has been something that we worked on starting last March and continued um this year. And then of course, mathematics and language arts as well as English language development. Safety is something that always comes up as a need. And so we continue to um offer different um safety opportunities in training for safety. And um I know Janelle did one this last time with scenarios and it gave time for people to ask reflective questions and of course data analysis and assessment. Our favorite thing talking about
034data and where we are and where our students are. We will continue work in that area as well. questions. >> Thank you. Um, do you know approximately how many people missed the session, the professional development? >> Yes, I believe there were 31 absences for the October date. >> Okay. Is that more than we had? >> That is actually one less. >> Okay. All right. Um, and I understand that you do you send out surveys to try and find what people will find interesting for the professional development? Yes, we send out um we send out a request. We usually do it in November where we request ideas for different sessions, especially for our March U PD. This October was the first time we did um different sessions that people could self- select some um and so
035that was a little different this year. uh with our March PD they're able to self- select their day for the morning at least because in the afternoon they still go to um sightled professional development but we offer an opportunity for them to facilitate but also to get information from them on some needs that they have. So from my artificial intelligence session they um list they had a nice full chart paper on all their needs they have around um artificial intelligence. So, I've been digging around trying to find maybe some partnerships for us to get somebody come in and support. >> And do you send out surveys after you send out surveys after the sessions? Correct. >> It depends. So, um depending on the session. So, yes, for UCSF and for our session around assessments, those
036all had surveys that come from the company that we see as well. So, it really depends on the session. For the most part, if we have an outside vendor coming in, they are required to have sign-in sheets as well as like a ser survey results >> and they share those results with us. >> Yes. >> Okay, great. All right. Other questions? >> I have one. >> Um I noticed that NEF funded Sunde and um I'm wondering if the teachers have been trained on that or whether that's going to be like a summer training or what will be happening. I know it's a little subject, but as soon as I saw that, I was like, "Yay, they're funding SE." Yes. So, um, Sundai's been used in the district for approximately six years, I think. Um, there
037was I when I came into the position, I got a list of people who had been originally trained. Each month I receive um information from them saying these are our upcoming trainings for the month which I provide to our site leaders and they are able to provide and then they send me names. We haven't had anyone that has requested training this year. I think we're probably hitting around 90% of our staff being trained at this point already. But um yes, so I did send uh I think last year I sent a group of John Mir teachers. The year prior to that I sent some special education staff members as well as um some other general education staff members. So yes, that's on a rotating basis because sometimes we need a little refresher as well and
038so I do send that on a monthly basis to our principles. >> Perfect. Thank you. What's Sundai? Sunday is our program that we use uh for phonics which is a K5 program and currently uh all of our school sites are using it three through five and some are piloting uh UFly which is a phonics program as well and so by the end of the year we might have an update on which one we're going to do with fidelity moving forward. Thank you. >> Any other questions? public comments. Okay. Next, we have consideration of acceptance of the initial joint reopener proposal for labor negotiations from the Martinez Unified School District and MEA for the 2526 school year. Janelle Ayat. >> Okay. Tonight I have initial proposals for labor negotiations. Um and as required um under the
039Educational Employment Relations Act, these are being brought forward um for review and consideration and um we will hold need to hold a public hearing and then um ask the board to come back um following the public hearing and take action. Do you have any questions? No. Okay. Okay. So, we're going to go ahead and close our regular meeting and we're going to go ahead and open our public hearing for the initial joint reopener for labor negotiations. Um, so the Martinez Unified School District and Martinez Education are presenting initial joint reopener for labor negotiations at the schoolboard meeting of October 2025. The Educational Employment Relations Act requires the public hearing on the proposal to be held before the commencement of negotiations. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Do we have any public comment?
040No. Do we have any discussion? Do we have a motion? Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Let me close Let me go ahead and close the public hearing and I'm going to go ahead and reconvene our regular board meeting. Do we have a motion? I'll move to approve the initial joint reopener proposals for labor negotiations between MUSD and MEA for 202526 school year. >> I'll second. >> All those in favor? >> I so moved. Next, we have consideration of acceptance of the initial joint reopener for labor negotiations from the Martinez Unified School District and the California School Employees Association, Chapter 99 for the 2526 school year, Janelle Ayat. Um, tonight I'm bringing forward the joint proposal from CSEA in the district um for this year's NE uh labor negotiations period. Um attached to this agenda item is
041the uh joint sunshine sun sunshine proposal which outlines the articles that um both CSEA and the district are proposing to open and um just like we did before we will need to hold a public hearing on the sunshine proposal. Thank you. Any questions? No. Okay. Um, let's close the regular meeting and we'll go ahead and open up a public hearing for the initial joint reopener of the labor negotiations from the Martinez Unified School District and the California School Employees Association, Chapter 99 for the 2526 school year.

Just give me one second. I had it open and it closed up on me. I find it again. One second. Okay. So, you've already received the report on our professional development activities that took place last Monday, but I do have a couple of comments, a couple of things I'd like to emphasize. First, um I just want to say that our staff um had the opportunity to engage in professional development uh activities designed to enhance their skills, to foster collaboration, and to support continuous improvement. These sessions provided meaningful opportunities for reflection, learning, and growth in various disciplines. Um, and we welcome any feedback regarding our professional
043development opportunities and hope to continue to make them more meaningful for our staff. So, we look forward to hearing from our teachers. I also wanted to highlight um that one of the organizations that supports the district which is really strong in championing literacy and um and also um student safety is the organization Kuanas and I just want to highlight that they remain vital a vital ally to MUSD exemplifying their dedication through impactful initiatives from donating hundreds of books to early primary grade students and also purchasing a golf cart for Alhamra High School. Um ensuring safe transport for athletes during um medical emergencies and we really appreciate their support. Um and we look forward to a continuous long-standing commitment to our students in this district. Um I also want to highlight the contraosta building and construction
044trade trades council uh building career pathways. The contraosta building and construction trades council continues to invest in our students by pro promoting the MC3 certificate um completion. This is a recognized u credential or certification process that pro prepares students for entry-level positions in trades and opens doors to long-term career advancement. Their efforts directly align with our goal to increase the percentage of students graduating college and career ready. Together, both organizations are helping us create stronger, more supportive um educational a more supportive educational environment where every student has tools to thrive. So, we want to thank you and I just want to highlight that this concludes my report. >> Great. Thank you very much. Would you like to start off with board reports? Trustee Msala O'Brien. >> Sure. So, um, last Saturday I had the opportunity
045to be a dosent on the Martinez historical home tour, which was really fun. And, um, they put me at the house of, um, Judge Bray, who the courthouse is named after, which I thought was fitting. Um, and so, uh, it overlooks the whole city and, um, was built in 1914. And the, uh, family that owns it now is only the third family ever. So, I guess Judge Bray and his family lived there from 1914 until the 1980s, which I thought was pretty impressive. So, that was really fun. And I got to meet a lot of um community members and um kind of show them around the house and uh see some of the some of the historic, you know, the the historical part of Martinez. So, that was fun. >> Great. Thank you, Trusty Leal.
