003agenda tonight all in favor starting with the board or the student board members I hi hi all oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously we've got a approximately two minutes until our public hearing and I don't think we'll have enough time to unpack a board report in that amount of time so we're just gonna have a moment it's gonna be a long night I have a feeling there's a lot of wonderful things going on what T minus one minute okay like to open our public hearing this is a material revision of the mighty virtual Charter Academy and who's on Deck presiden Pate I'm going to have uh Dr Davin Port our fearless leader of mvca come up here and do her presentation on uh the material revision great thank you um president Spade trustees and our
004student board members right so in the um documents you'll see there is the copy with the redline edits and a clean copy of the material re revision and this is actually part of our Charter petition renewal that will um be in full force next fall um we're submitting to CDE at that point in time but because of a change in our program to add early college and then we also a move uh on the plaster campus the um attorney that we're working on with had recommended that we go ahead and do a material revision now in preparation for that so um with that I'm not going to go through all of the detailed components of it but just do kind of a general overview of what the changes are so currently we have um in
005the mighty virtual Charter Academy which uh opened in 2018 we have our personalized education program otherwise known as pep um it's a 25 to1 student teacher ratio program uh we currently have two full-time and one part-time teacher and generally students come to pep that are um struggling at our Comprehensive High Schools oftentimes they're not on an ad tog track and many times they come credit deficient um and so the goal is really to help those students um find educational structure and system that will work for them um we've had great success with the program and uh not much is going to change with that program moving forward few little things but for the most part the structure will still remain we currently have a Collegiate program and that is a a tog course structure that
006students come in um our student teacher ratio for that program is the same as the comprehensives and uh we have a variety of electives we recently added CTE programs talk a little bit more about that um and our goal is to have those students graduate meeting all of those a tog requirements and then we have um currently five teachers that are teaching dual enrollment as part of their dual enrollment um responsibilities include not only ma do students which we've seen some good tremendous growth in the last year just in serving our own Ma students for dual enrollment but we've served a tremendous amount of dual enrollment um students and courses over the years for classer Union High School District including all of our comprehensives um go ahead and go to the next slide so our
007kind of directions and goals for this year um we I'm not going to talk much about it but we are in the midcycle of a wasque report so that'll be coming up in early May um we are finalizing our crra College uh Early College partnership our mou with them which is part of what we're presenting tonight um there the charter renewal and the material revision um and as I already mentioned and then we're also moving to the new space on the plaster campus that will uh hopefully will be moving in for the beginning of next year and that will be in the is it 400 building um buildings up kind of above the um theater or next to the higher part of the theater so key changes in our future um we've added two de
008subject areas uh this year statistics and we um our math teacher just got approved I believe it was last week to teach college algebra so we now have two um math offerings and then in social science new this year was history 17b and our history teacher was just approved to teach uh history 51 which is the equivalent of world history 17 uh B is the equivalent of US history for us and then we've had um existing English 1a we will be able to offer a 1B moving forward um science uh we have ESS and bio 56 and then we have um language Spanish 34 and then life skills which has been a very popular course meets our um what is it I'm thinking of requirement grad requirement for not life skills but rise yeah yeah
009life life skills so rise yeah sorry I was trying to make it harder than it is um life skills requirement so we um have also added CTE courses because one of the things looking forward we need to look good on the dashboard and we didn't have any CTE offerings so the only opportunity for students to take CTE courses was to do um co-enrollment with the comprehensive sites and so we now have architecture Cal design um pathway in progress Human family services and then currently we have an education pathway and an engineering and design pathway and huge credit to Kristen Miller who um came in and developed all of those programs and just has kept them coming and then as we've already talked about the Early College uh is a huge change um and we're really
010excited about that opportunity and offering so I'm not going to read all of this but basically an early college is a formal uh partnership that you have with either a college or Cal State University or a UC and students turn their high school diploma but they also get opportunities to earn college credits at a variety of different options and I'll break that down a little bit more of what we're doing um part of our reason for making that shift is um we have the need for the dual enrollment uh that Ma do teachers provide right now has kind of reduced because a good news thing is that more teachers on our comprehensive sites have earned their master's degrees and have become qualified to teach dual enrollment and so we're looking how do we maximize the
011fact that we have five dual enrollment teachers in really good core subject areas so that's a huge part of it um we also are looking at we are a charter school and as a charter school we have the ability to attract and enroll students from our contiguous counties and that means increased Ada because those are students that we wouldn't normally have in our district District um our goal and it'll be written into our mou is to provide uh opportunities for underrepresented students who maybe wouldn't typically be in college going and to get those students um kind of that entry way into those courses that might springboard a future career doesn't have to be a four-year degree but just a variety of different options to open those doors for students um and then there's the other
012money side of it families saving money by knocking out a lot of the courses while a student's in college I mean in high school so basically this one I want to focus on we we kind of decided to keep our name we changed our logo we had an opportunity to kind of change our entire School said no that's not what we want to do we still want to continue to provide our pep opportunities we still want to work with phsd on providing um some dual enrollment and so we decided to create a program so it's a a early college program within Mau virtual Charter the three different tracks that stud students will have access to the first one will be the one that's the you know you got to come in guns of Blazing probably
013as a freshman and really dive into it to get an AA degree um so they go through their four years with Mau and we'll work with them to get the courses that they can from us and then whatever degree Direction they're going in we will work directly with Sierra College to ensure that they have access to those courses the track we suspect is going to have the highest perent percentage of students is the csy um track and that basically means that students come in and they get kind of those gened under those courses that are required if you're at a community college before you can transfer to a four-year that they would get a high school diploma and knock out all if not all most of their Cy requirements and then the final one is
014our certification track and this is one I'm really excited about this one because I think it's a little unique to what we're doing and it means that students both in our pep program as well as our Collegiate kind of um Early College maybe they don't know what they want to do and maybe they're not sure they want to go to a fouryear and we want to give them opportunities to access some certifications upwards of six units nine units in a certain subject area where they could walk away and say I've been certified in automotive or certified in metal um certified in um cosmetology so there's a a wide range but we want to be able to give opportunities where students can take as few as hopefully one class and as many as earning their AA
015degree so basically you see our old logo that's our new logo and that's basically it for just kind of the nuts and bolts of it obviously the document has a lot more detail and information in it but just wanted to give kind of the general overview question for comments I think we already got a um someone interested in after our Auburn J Journal article today is that correct did uhhuh awesome I think it's so exciting I do love the new logo I think it's fresh um from a marketing standpoint yeah that and and everything else that that's going on I'm very excited about the ECP Early College Prep program it's super cool the first time I heard the term caly was on a visit that I made to another High School District um last year
016for a Golden Bell award as a a delegate assembly member and that was when I was hearing that their students were earning a um their um Associates degrees and on these programs and many of their students were nailing out their csis and so I am so excited that that is here that that's a part of um the articulation of this program and of your school so I'm stoked to hear that um random kind of a random question on page um 41 there was there was a site council meeting from 2019 and I was just curious um about the the site Council meetings or if they exist when it's a virtual Charter or why yes why one was there from six years ago okay we have um and I think what I'm looking on maybe the
017pronounce numbers are different but yeah we do have um two site Council meetings a year okay all right well that was my question I thought that was an interesting ad on there the May 9th 2019 and I thought H wonder what I was about but yeah excellent work okay thank you all right there any comments from the community I don't believe so we're going to go ahead and close that public hearing at 5:46 all right we're going to go ahead and move to item seven reports and communication starting with with item 7.1 board reports this is the time allotted for our board members to conduct uh discussions on the events in which they have participated and correspondents related to District programs they wish to share do I have a volunteer to kickstart I'll volunteer thank
018you all right so since our last board meeting I attended several events on our campuses including two student V uh voter Outreach um presentations I guess it was um both at delor high school and kfax high school um that was put together by the plaster County elections office um really interesting um got a lot of really interesting questions that um I was a little taken back by like how impressive the questions themselves were from some of the students um and it was a really great opportunity for the students to kind of hear from uh two representatives of the uh two major political parties as well so they start to understand like you know what what the group stand for and that kind of thing so that was kind of a a unique thing I also
019attended the uh the spring PD day um last Friday at deloro um that was uh you know really nice event it's nice to see the uh the teachers getting some really quality um professional development training as well I did have two other things that I wanted to break uh or to bring up so the first one um is last last week seven days ago in fact um I received a uh a phone call from a parent at kfax high that had some concerns um I sent an email to the uh Acting Superintendent cetti and the um the uh principal at uh CHS um and that that particular parent contacted me again today hadn't heard from anybody from the district um so I feel like that's something that we could maybe you could pass it on
020to for me so I feel like that's an area of Need For Us is we need to make sure that following up on stuff like that and and um addressing these concerns that the parents bring up uh that's pretty important the second thing um that I wanted to bring up um is uh directed towards Mr Wilson actually so back in uh January um we had a discussion about the uh dual enrollment M moou um and the board asked to have some kind of uh implementation put in place where teachers can be notified um as to whether or not a student um has signed that that waiver um has that been accomplished uh yeah we're we are finalizing the plan to uh provide waivers to the students and um I think were we going to change
021any of the wording on the no we're just we're just going to provide the waiver okay what what about your process for uh identifying to the staff which students do and don't have those waivers signed we still have to figure out what what the best process is for that what's your time frame like when do you expect that to be completed um soon yeah it's hard because there's only so many places and areas that can easily highlight what those numbers are where that a teacher could easily um access that um so just working on that I I believe we'll also be part of our um a beginning of the year documents that go out to parents where they can start there it would be not a great idea to do that at this point in
022the year but at the beginning of the year every Aries portal opens when parents can add and and we we have it that's a part of the process now the challenge is just trying to find a way to identify who has signed it and who hasn't signed it that's easily accessible okay but you'll have that accomplished so that the teacher is starting in the fall perhaps yeah okay okay thank you that's all ahead thank you trusty Jeff trusty Underwood yeah my focus has been on uh on three different areas the first area I'm concerned about is the survey results that came back regarding um our grading practices throughout the district and they as I looked at the survey we're all over the board some people are on the 100 point system some which I knew
023this was going to happen when we uh when the board when we took action uh a month ago but I'm concerned because I I'm feeling that we're kind of going backwards we need to have a unified focus in the district whether it's going to be the fourpoint system the 100o system we all need to be on the same track the longer we wait before we finally come together and create a plan in terms of what the district's going to be doing in terms of grading the more I think entrenched teachers are going to get making it more difficult to make a transition in terms of the direction that we want to we want to go in so that really concerns me and when I looked at the data and the survey uh I I'm think
024I'm saying wow some people are are are want want D's back some people uh are are not are hesitant for incompletes some people uh uh are on the fourpoint system some people are on the 100 point system and really concerns me I I really think that we have to get together and uh not waste not wa not waste not delay unnecessarily long before we we have a a focus uh point on that because that's a critical point for me um so that was a concern I've been doing a lot of thinking about that and I I really think we on the board really have to uh do all we can to initiate um the movement toward a final decision in terms of what we're going to be doing and uh I didn't understand all of
025the survey data that was there I I really hope I can get clarification because it was confusing to me when I was looking at that and I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask in terms of the results that they got second thing I'm excited about the the process we're going through in terms of uh choosing a superintendent for the district it is a critical move it's the only employ we have on the board and we need to have a person that's really going to uh be the proper and right person to fit in our district to move us in terms of the direction we want to go in so that's coming up and I'm excited about that and uh hopefully we're going to find that person and and uh and it's going
026to be the right fit for us that that that is really the the maybe the most critical decision a board makes is is choosing the superintendent that's going to direct the district to reach the goals and objectives and then we have to come up with which we haven't done yet all the goals uh and and ideas that we on the board want this new person to be able to achieve I'm looking forward to that when we can get together and say this is what we want to do this is where we want to go so once we move into the superintendent process of selection that's coming up very quickly we already have that uh in place because that needs to be in place first and that's a concern that I have um so we're in
027transition no doubt about that and we need to have and I hope we will uh be able to make the proper decisions for the district to move us in the direction we want to go in so that's where my mind's been uh uh actively thinking about the last uh few weeks and and I'm excited and uh I hope we find what we're looking for thank you trusty Underwood yeah trusty Lake hi everyone um since our last board meeting had opportunity to several different fun in the district hi everyone since our last board meeting I've had a chance to uh to attend several different functions um with the district and it's been uh really inspiring I I uh it's been really impressive to just learn more and more how uh how school districts function and uh
028I have some some thoughts and some comments that I'll that I'll share with you uh trusty Underwood to your point about uh the survey uh regarding the the grading system that we have I believe that we didn't have enough um teacher participation in the survey and I think that Elizabeth was going to be working on kind of re-releasing that so that we can get more participation with all the teachers in the district to get to get more accurate feedback and and potentially see departmentally where the those differences lie on uh whether it's preference or uh you know I think it's really important that we're informed on how the teachers feel about the different systems whether it's the fourpoint system or the 100o system but um so we're we're anxiously awaiting that that uh that additional
029survey information um was able to um let's see we had the would you call that a walk and learn at the ma Virtual Academy with uhp learning walk yeah principal Davenport she did a fantastic job as well as uh AP Christen Miller is she here tonight um anyway I I'm super impressed by the the Mau Academy I feel like it's a uh it will become a treasure to the district because of the status of being a charter uh I don't think people realize uh the potential that is there being able to outreach to students more broad than our own District so we have a potential to actually increase uh the enrollment in our district um making and really marketing that that program it is uh it is a topnotch uh designed online curriculum but you
030have access at any given time any given day you have access to the top-notch teachers who who really pour their heart into that program so really impressive um and I'm I'm really happy to see that I don't think parents in general in our in our district understand uh the potential that students have while they're in high school to to achieve um there's so many examples of students who are taking advantage of dual enrollment I mean you can knock out your first year of college while you're in high school your first two years in college why you're in high school motivated students are actually accomplishing this and so I've had a chance to talk to many students and I like to find out do you guys even understand like how much time and how much uh
031I mean the possibilities are amazing especially to a parent yeah I would love to save a year of college tuition that would be amazing and um so hats off to the admin of the district for uh and and those involved with um you know increasing the availability of courses uh in regards to dual enrollment um I also got a chance to attend that uh professional development day at deloro that was awesome um it was good to see kind of teachers in their element uh there's no students there and so for the students the teachers turn into like a bunch of kids when they hang out together so it was it was it was kind of fun um and um yeah I I I think that that was uh that was awesome I was happy to
032to see how those function um also attended a student engagement at deloro and um for those interested a student engagement is when they have these at each site annually where the a handful of people from the admin from the district level come to a high school and they get to meet with students but there's no other faculty or or or high schle admin there it's just you know so the so the students have an opportunity to kind of speak their mind uh and Report on the positive things and maybe things that can be can be worked on so I really appreciated the the discussions that that I was able to have with um a group of students there very eye- openening and they have their own strong opinions about uh grading policies and what's working
033and why it's working and what's not working so um yeah I think it's moving forward I think uh the board's going to be able to provide that direction uh it is important to make sure that we're Gathering all the necessary uh feedback and um to be able to provide that direction um and then I had a visit at uh Confluence West uh with principal zerwas that was awesome um that is a another you imagine the students that are involved whether it's at the Confluence or Confluence West if you didn't have these uh these these programs a lot of these students would uh might just by the wayside and uh drop out VI High School dropouts right or and go down other Pathways but here they have an opportunity to build their own Community inside these
034programs and uh it was inspiring uh to interact with these with these kids and have like really meaningful conversations and um for a lot of them it has uh reignited an interest in in studying and um and learning and I thought it was awesome and uh you know hats off to to Morgan and um who's her cohort there that's Sean yeah they were awesome um so anyway the that's my report and um I'm also looking forward to uh going through the selection process for the next uh superintendent and uh I think uh the future is bright for uh for our district so thanks thank you so much uh bard for sharing uh your thoughts and I I want to say uh trusty Lake I am stoked that you caught the alted bug it's a thing
035um and um it's it's we have some incredible um alternative education programs in our district that we should all be so proud of it's really incredible the work that everyone's doing so I am an all pink today in in response to plaster awesome kindness week and today students were encouraged to wear pink not sure we're not in pink Eva you changed professional um to encourage gratitude for yourself and others and uh so anyway I I I love a good theme and and a reminder um and actually I think encouraging gratitude and kindness toward yourself and others is important I think most of us we probably our biggest critic we've got all the things to say but to be grateful for for um our gifts and to be kind to ourselves when my kids say things
036to me um you know speaking negatively about themselves I said you would never say that about your best friend you know you got to be kind to yourself too so I appreciate that you guys are putting an effort and Shining a light on that uh tomorrow our superintendent survey questions are going to be turned over or at least our feedback to pcoe who's preparing survey um questions to send out to the community and I'm anxious and excited to hear some feedback uh they provided some samples and we're giving some feedback on the samples and some ideas so looking forward to hearing and having um a collaborative process with the community this time around and um yeah so that's going to be great on February 19th um trustees Jeff in Lake um uh and I and
037members of our cabinet attended a training through dwk uh regarding the brown act and we realized we needed to adjust some of our practices just to make sure we were dotting eyes and Crossing tees with the brown act and so our learning walks um we will have be having two members at at the site just to be careful uh there was an emphasis on here not just discuss um with another trustee and so we want to make sure that we're keeping everything that could remotely look like it could be a brown act violation um out of the weeds and um keep us out of trouble so back to school nights are permitted uh for all the board members to attend um and we're just going to walk through campus on our own or with out
038a Corum so we're going to stay stay away from each other uh back to and uh so there's a lot of rules you guys there's a lot of rules um but it's important to us to abide by the laws and so is as we continue to dive into um making sure that we understand and staff understands um there could be some changes but we're trying to do our best um on February 21st and 22nd I attended uh the wrestling saken section Masters tournament in Stockton for a couple days and I never loved wrestling but I love it now so much and we had three of our high schools represented there we had um athletes from delor plaster and kfax and I'm going to tell you it's grueling it's brutal and I was asked to sing
039the national anthem out there both mornings and and I was proud to be able to have our district acknowledged and our high school athletes acknowledged so their names were over the large or the loud intercom and we even had athletes um win that section and that is no small feat women and men in those finals from our um from our sites and that was awesome so congratulations to the state qualifiers who already competed but I'm so proud I am so so proud it is it is a brutal sport into all of our winter sports and all the good things but I'm sorry I didn't get to see everyone's um we also attended the uh plaster Helman showcase excellent work I heard although I wasn't in that room that the lcap was standing room only so
040well done I don't I've never heard of a pler elcap being standing room only so kudos to you also attended the was lead team meeting it's a big deal um and so thank you for including me in that it was a really rich discussion um highlighting the history of plaster um the goals for the future the the obstacles and um and I'm just it was a great meeting and I left feeling very proud to be a Hillman and also attended the maw virtual uh learning walk and I agree that team is exceptional those the staff members are exceptional um and it really is a gem alternative education's growing I say this repeatedly but California enrollment um is has been currently is in its lowest enrollment in over 20 years and there's a reason because a
041lot of people are choosing alternative programs so I'm stoked that we have a phenomenal alternative program that we're offering that's competitive um I think that we're moving in a great Direction and so thank you for all those who are helping to navigate um and to continue to build on that program and after the learning walk I was stopped and asked if I wanted to hit the plaster rally and so I jumped on a golf cart that broke down three times up the hill so we had to chat about that but we jumped off lifted up the seat turned it off turned it back on to make it up the hill so we need to have a chat I don't know who I need to talk to about the golf carts but our staff who um
042they need a working golf cart that is a huge campus so what do I need to do who do I need to talk to um but we we've got incredible people and I watched some pretty impressive interpretive dance by coach Montoya and students um it's so fun to be in the Earl crab that gym is epic and um and it was wonderful I've participated in csb presidents and delegates calls hearing updates through the county and uh Tom and I met with pcoe regarding the superintendent search and we have been discussing those survey questions as I mentioned we also had obviously a special board meeting last week where we gave some direction to them and um I wanted to thank um ATP president Elizabeth lell for coordinating a little extra visit for me to um pop
043into Placer and I was able to be there from 7:50 a.m. to noon and I chatted with um I visited Wellness Center I visited um um and I'm not even entirely sure what it's called but it back in my day was a side by side class with um our special education program um in a PE class and they played fun games and math classes and a Ceramics class and staff I just wanted to thank each of you who allowed me into your space who will let me ask you some questions and interact with students in a very chill relaxed way um it's it's one of the great privileges being on the board and I and I really do thank you I want to see things from your perspective and I want to hear what's going
044on in your world um so that we can better serve you and our students um so um looking here student engagement at deloro excellent facilitation by Acting Superintendent cetti um those kids do have a lot of feedback and they're and they're bright um a couple of the things that stood out to me of those highlights the CBE grading inconsistencies which you you pointed out that's been difficult for them um and and then something that I hadn't heard before which I found interesting and maybe something to consider as a board is one of the students was talking about that sat testing sites don't exist in our County and they're having to travel a long ways and and those kids that are trying to you know get into competitive schools are taking that test and I would
045love to find a way in our count Forest Hill okay so Doo deloro um students didn't know they were traveling to Chico or well there is a communication breakdown so I'm glad to hear that they're closer if there's a way that we could update through our counselors something so that that some of our students because they are traveling a long distance yes I know that like a lot of the seats they like CL and Stu terms ofer us like I don't know how many oh so that could be part of the problem I know I to go to Nada what see this is absurd to me it's happening all across the country is it really it is thank you it is okay well I would like to problem solve that for our students I would
046prefer you not to have to travel to Nevada Ruby um we're we're pushing rigorous courses and trying to set you on a course and I don't want you to have to travel out of state or hours away to be able to take that test so if there's a way for us to do it I'd like us to find a way um and something else that was mentioned was that we have no honor roll Awards and that they were that some students were having difficulty finding Awards to place on their college admissions um and so I don't know what we need to do that but I do think it's important to validate the hard work of our students and it doesn't just have to be honor Awards I I think citizenship awards are just as important
047or incredible sportsmanship which I know our teams and coaches do a great job but so I just wanted to throw that out there these are the things that the kids are talking about among other things but uh those stood out to me and again to all who participated in quality schools and service congratulations to all of the members of our staff who were honored and I appreciated your joke uh Dr caminetti about do you want to share it about our Acting Superintendent yeah he came out and sng and dance and wanted to let everyone know that he was um all things uh vapa he's acting quote and quote anyway it was it was good and I enjoyed it so um our uh our I emailed with our student board members who are some of them
048have responded U to the state seal of Civic engagement and are planning to apply I'm excited to hear that we have till the end of the month for anybody who any student that's a junior or senior who would like to apply you're in the you're in the end of it but it's still possible please talk to um our curriculum coordinator Robert lemon I don't see him or myself and we'll direct you there's there's a site on our website right now so um all right that's that's a wrap of board reports I'm going to go ahead and move to item 7.2 our ad hoc committee updates we have two updates and I believe truste Jeff is going to be reporting out on our CBE grading committee and our board bylaws 9010 and 912 great so the
049CBE grading um committee adoc committee um our goal was um kind of like trusty Underwood identified is to help help the board kind of come together with the unified Focus moving forward um back in January the district shoot um so back in January the district admin staff sent out a um uh not a survey a Google form for people that wanted to sign up for stakeholder groups students parents staff um that wanted to sign up to be part of this committee um and then the following month in February our Fe I believe it was our February board meeting um trust Duncan and I got assigned as the ad hoc committee members um to kind of oversee this process so trusty Duncan and I sat down um for several hours and talked through through what this
050process should look like how it could work uh and what we came up with is we are going to have four different sessions um two or three- hour sessions depending on the day the first one is on April 4th from 6:00 to 8 p.m. the next one is April 21st from 6:00 to 8 p.m and then we had two uh separate sessions on Saturday April 26th one from uh 9 to 12 and one from 1: to 4 um and those are going to be moderated by two of our ATP teachers um Mr feffer and Miss McCoy um and we gave uh trusty Duncan and I gave them um some very specific um direction as far as how we wanted to see those sessions work uh and the way it's going to work is each uh
051individual that was on that list and there was about a hundred people that originally had signed up to be part of this committee the stakeholder group people um and so they were all sent a a short survey to kind of fill out so that the uh the moderators could kind of use that to help guide the discussions to some extent uh and then they were um given a link to a signup genius where they could actually sign up to attend one of the four sessions uh and at the end of each of the four sessions um the the takeaway is going to be a list of recommendations from that from the members of that session uh all of that information will be compiled into one list and then trusty dunin and I will sit down
052and draft a proposed board policy that'll be brought back to this board in in either May or June most likely um to actually for us to discuss and vote on it and you know think about um how we want to have that Unified Focus trusty Underwood was talking about moving forward um so that is in the process so by the end of April those four sessions will be completed uh and we'll have all the information basically that we need to actually sit down and start kind of drafting a proposal so that's the uh CBE grading committee awesome do you have a report out on the board bylaw updates you want to go down you want that yeah you me talk about it okay so um can't even remember what that was it was February meeting
053I think um trusty Lake and I were asked to review two board policies 910 and 912 um both had to do with Communications uh by and from the board members um so we sat down um for quite a while and kind of uh looked at the original policy drafted some policies we had those policies run by uh District legal council um who really didn't have any changes from what I could tell to the the policies that we actually drafted um so those will be brought back to the board I think at our next meeting uh in April and um the board will have the opportunity to kind of go through those and discuss those um truste Lake and I pay particular attention to some of the concerns that for example trusty Underwood brought up as
054far as um each um individual board member having the freedom of speech and the ability to actually speak as an individual board member um so that is reflective as you'll see hopefully next month um in by in board bylaws 910 and 912 perfect just as a point of clar ification on that um Dr CTI so it's my understanding that since it's went through review with Council um and now it's just kind of in a formatting stage yeah staff would format that and indicate with uh the verbiage because it's brand new um italicize and bold and blue if it's written by um board so public can clarify how it was um originated and that will we brought back in in April is that way on the next want to make sure uh staff has time to
055to form out do we feel like that's realistic um yeah okay okay great thank you so much appreciate that um trusty Jeff all right we're going to go ahead and move to item 7.3 student board member reports and cue the train gotta love that um good evening so there are many exciting things happening at Plaster this month um we recently wrapped up our wasque review and are eagerly awaiting the final report um the school has been buzzing with activities including a highly engaging career fair where students had the opportunity to connect with local businesses and explore various career options um VA also organized our annual blood drive which was a great success as always also last week we had the spring music concert which I didn't have the opportunity to attend but I've heard outstanding

060testing for juniors is coming up in the next two weeks and we wish them the best as luck as they prepare those are all my updates I have thank you thank you very much Ruby hi guys um so kfax has had a lot of exciting things happen recently um our winter sports since last time we um had a board meeting have started to wrap up so our girls basketball won the section title at Golden one which is a really cool opportunity we had I think like 80 to 100 students maybe show up um to support which was great um and then I was able to take photos there too it was an awesome opportunity and then they went into the second round of the NorCal tournament as well so that was a great feat for
061them uh we had as you pointed out about wrestling 13 athletes competed in regionals and then six Advanced over to Masters and then for snowboarding we had a lot of different athletes compete in States and then Senior Quincy MOA took Ninth Place which was really awesome awesome for her um and then recently uh this past Friday Miss Jenkins um our English teacher at kfax she was awarded teacher of the year which was a really awesome award for her and she was definitely not expecting it um as she told me later on um so that was really fun for her and then um for facilities uh I'll probably talk about this forever um because as much as I love our school our facilities are not that great um our classrooms with the weather um I know
062that I got snow at my house which was awesome um for the 3day weekend to play around in but we got some at our school as well and there's been a lot of leaks and we've had a ceiling collapse a little bit um in Mr Wolf's room um so we've got trash cans and buckets currently in our classrooms to help fix those leaks um and then our Bells we have one Bell like installed for our campus right now so that way we're actually able to hear when to go to class but uh in some like other parts of Campus you're not really able to hear it especially in a lot of different classrooms so um it's a fix but definitely one that um needs Improvement so I don't think we'll be able to fix that
063by the end of the year but just want to keep that on your radar um and then also our clubs on campus have been really active recently which has been great um for mod United Nations I went with them to compete in um Berkeley mod which we competed with about 15500 other students which is great um and then we'll be in lagona Beach next week um to compete there as well our Spanish club took a trip to San Francisco to discover more about Spanish culture went to different museums and learned a lot um and that was a really resourceful um um trip for them as it's their first time or first year being a club as well so it was a really cool opportunity and then our link crew um is actually um doing a
064lot of different Outreach to our feeder schools this week so we've um gone to ier Ulta and then we'll be going to kfax Elementary tomorrow and then I'll be going to Weimar this Thursday with them uh to just talk about kfax a lot of the things we have to offer as a school and just engaging with the eighth graders and soon to be freshman and then our chamber choir is competing in Anaheim this um Thursday through this weekend um and it's a national competition we've always done really really well in so hoping for another year um and then on to testing little bit so our Juniors have been working um pretty diligently on esack testing um which will be in the beginning of April so we've had a lot of different flexes dedicated to sort
065of prepping our Juniors and um giving them a little run through of what it'll look like and I know that Mr O'Keefe who's our math department lead he's been making a lot of test prep accessible for students um with our Alex program in math which has been really resourceful and then um there's a lot of IB testing for seniors which is um a lot of fun stuff during Flex for sure um we've been getting ready and it's been pretty stressful but our teachers have done a really good job we've been able to you know run through a lot of what that'll look like so um not super excited for those tests in May because it's um about two weeks long but you know I'll get through it um as for the rest of our seniors
066and then um next week is really exciting we have Olympic week so this is a really fun thing about kfax high school and something that I love and we'll dearly Miss next year as I won't be able to be a part of it but um we have had lar sign up so that's live action roleplay which will be next Wednesday on the football field so we've done those I'm getting smithery ready to make our um swords um with pool noodles and then um I invite you guys to come out and check it out so on Monday we have color War which will be in the gym and it's everyone's decked out in their class colors and we're competing doing class performances it's a lot of fun um that's when the torch bearers will come out
067to and light the Olympic torch if you guys want to see that um we have rathon on the field as well lar of course and the obstacle course within the gym and then our closing cere ceremonies to end the week so if you guys want to check it out please do what time is that Ruby um so that'll be during like Flex time I know on M Monday it's going to be a little bit different I'm not sure if we have the bell schedule yet I think it should be starting around 1130 on all the other days Monday it's probably going to be like 10:45 I'd say yeah thank you got it okay um hi everyone I would like to start out my report by highlighting our amazing counselor Miss Annie cardullo she rece she
068received the phsd counselor of the Year award and it could not be more deserved she does so much each and every day to help students in registering for classes applying for scholarships giving her time to answer questions and so much more uh we are so proud of her for receiving this award and we know that it is very well deserved I would also like to touch on the last student voice meeting that we had where students expressed an interest in having more activities on campus to help Foster a more positive culture uh from this our intervention specialist Jordan Tucker created an intramural volleyball team which has a tournament every two weeks during the Friday lunch period we had over 50 people sign up and it has been a roaring success this may not seem like
069that many students but at Forest H this is roughly a quarter of our total student body so that has been amazing to see um on Frid on the Fridays without a tournament our leadership class is hosting fun Friday events such as a launchtime movie um or games and both of these events have been huge successes and we cannot wait to continue those as a small um in addition a small group of students had the opportunity to speak at a teacher PLC a couple weeks ago to let them know some of the ideas and opinions that students brought up in the student voice in this way the teachers were able to hear how the students are feeling and also hear some of the solutions that the students brought to the table uh I would also like
070to give a huge shout out to our equality Club who hosted a blood drive today there has been a huge amount of planning going into this event and there were many many people who signed signed up to participate our FFA team had a competition in Yukaya this weekend that was our forestry team with student Lyla Mendes receiving third place individually and the team scoring second place overall they got these super cool little carved redwood tree Awards so that was really great for them um we also have our F Olympics next week which is always a fun event for the whole student body to participate in uh as has been the case the last few years our spring sports are navigating weather we just had our first snow of the year last Thursday and Friday that
071was wonderful and we're crossing our fingers that we don't lose our spring break snow days want that to last as long as possible um our Juniors have Casp testing coming up in the first week of April so they have been preparing for that and we also have our student engagement on April 2nd and we are looking forward to seeing some of you guys there and that's it for Forest still thank you thank you hi so um di we had our mock Tri Team U make it to the state championships for the first time in program history which is exciting and they competed against dozens of teams and did not place but one of the prosecutors was selected as the top three breast prosecutors in the competition out of like 37 other teams I think and
072so now that they they've made it State once the team knows how it's done and they say that they plan on a future with a lot more State competitions and our peer mentor team is currently in the process of spring recruitment for the program um and this is a really strong program because it supports struggling students and then it also benefits the rumes of the pure mentors themselves especially those going into psychology and education and we also just closed the student board member applications of course and we received plenty of Stellar ones from the do student body that's really exciting and then girls soccer continued their domination and wied the won the second section title again this year and we also just wrapped up the election of our ASP and class officers and then um
073my school is doing like our school report this for this word meeting and one of the things that they did was they created a website with all the um information from a bunch of different areas so here are some of the stats that I found interesting from the website um we have 468 spring Sports athletes in season right now which equates to roughly about a quarter of our student body and our this is the second largest season and we have 477 fall Sports athletes so each of those Seasons individually equates to about a quarter of the student body participating in sports at any given time which I think it's a pretty great measure of how involved the student body is and looks like we're doing good and then as far as esack we remain very
074high in the ELA Department with 82% in the Mee exceed range um which is great and then we we remain only at about half of the students or 56% in the me exceed area for math which is a 9% decline from the previous year so that's an area of growth for sure and then as far as the AP and de uh classes goes we've seen an enormous increase in De students from 554 seats in 2020 to 1,100 1,45 seats in 2025 which is pretty crazy and then this coincided with a slight decline in AP student seats from 618 exams taken in 2020 to 412 in 2024 but overall this is still a net growth of AP and dual enrollment seats and then our school is also in the midst of um was accreditation and it's
075always great when they walk into our classes during you know like hamlets Soliloquy and a literature or a look of mild concern when we're lighting something on fire in physics um but you know gives them an accurate picture of student life Vio and I also got to talk to one of the accreditors today and it was impressive to see the level of detail that they look at with our school they seem like they definitely know what they're doing and then as far as Confluence West um today is also their showcase so I think they're going to take it away with their updates for their cameras for this year so yeah thanks we have exceptional student board members you you guys have done such a phenomenal job and and reviewing our applications for this coming years
076um we had some really great students apply thank you guys for spreading the word and uh we look forward to hearing the results of that and um we will miss you you guys have big shoes to fill all right moving on to item 7.4 our superintendent showcase delaro Confluence West I'm glad we ended with your student board member because you're up um we're going to start with Confluence West and uh I want to say thank you trusty Lake I was able to um kind of show off Confluence West to trusty Lake and then trusty Duncan as well but also it felt kind of like we were showing you guys off to them because there felt like this really cool connection um Morgan and Shawn and Jaden are here tonight to talk about Confluence West and
077when they shared the agenda with me the other day I kind of said like anything I can say um and uh I said I at least want to go up there and brag about you guys and say that I'm so thankful for for these uh the the school um the students the teachers who are there and some of the best stories that are happening are coming out of Confluence West so without further Ado these three coming up hello I don't know how we control the slides here next oh I have it uh okay so this first one is focusing on our attendance and we you know continuation education attendance is is a struggle for the students especially at the traditional sites and as great is we serve primarily Doro students and as great as Doo
078is no setting is right for everybody and so the first thing we want to emphasize is that all of our students their attendance from deloro to our school Rises significantly so these numbers may not look super strong but compared to when they were at deloro that they no offense they it's a dramatic Improvement for many of them and we kind of attribute that to the slower Pace the the more making it about them the student driven aspect and and it and it seems to work and that goes back to Chana and Confluence as well um and so as far as our growth can be charted throughout this year a lot of that has to do with additional staff that we've been able to get uh ran and is our attendance Tech and utility knife everybody
079kind of does everything but she making calls to home every day I mean we try to do that as well but we're also doing a lot and trying to teach classes and and organizing the students so just having that additional staff has been incredibly beneficial um and in the future what we need to do is try to make sure that Transportation happens for our students so we have that those capabilities but limit being limited staff it's hard for us to go and pick students up but we still make sure that we do that so our attendance has increased uh dramatically U mostly because of of ranan being in that position and we'd like to make sure that stays that way next so so this this kind of shows you know we took six different students
080and you can see you know student w 53% at Delo 87% with us 70% at delor for student 2 83% with us um so again that just speaks to that dramatic increase and uh as trusty Lake noted a lot of them or somebody noted it really does many students who say I'll never I hate school and school hates me um when we just kind of clear the runway they're they're able to say and we and we go we visit a lot of campuses which I think Morgan is going to talk about we take them to a lot of programs and it sort of is like well maybe I could see myself here and so she'll speak to some of our our students and um that have gone on to different colleges but um again mostly
081we do a lot of one-on-one meetings with students we get a lot of individual time which Dillo is just not capable of doing and uh we we really cater our curriculum to their needs their interests while still having uh high expectations and rigor next you have to say it like that Morgan I nominate Sean to say next whenever we're ready um okay so this one doesn't look so hot when this is our graduation rate um from our our first no yeah our first year 2021 22 so 2022 was our first graduating class at Confluence West um and we had 91% graduate we want to emphasize that that number is a little bit skewed because that was coming out of covid and we actually were required to wave their elective credits and so for some students
082that was a large chunk of their credits so it made students graduate who maybe would not have been able to in future years just made it easier um so we couldn't really there's no really necessarily explanation it feels like every year it's a totally different crew um and we adjust accordingly um but we did want to at least report on our graduation rates and that's the gray um the gray numbers there are graduation rates um the red numbers are students who have gone on to some sort of post high school education and that would include um community colleges and schools um so those numbers we're also really proud of those numbers although I'm sure that if we compared it to a comprehensive site it might look really different but um for many of our students
083when they enter into our program they have no thought of going onto any sort of schooling they just want to be done with school um so the fact that we are getting more than a quarter of our students to move on to um some sort of Education After High School is um a real celebration because we know from research and studies that students who get some sort of Education After High School do tend to find more success in life that obviously is not always true but it does um um speak true most of the time um and some of the things we do to help this is we visit lots of Junior College Programs um we very rarely just do a tour of the school in general we often times reach out to specific um
084program programs that are in we have students that they have expressed an interest and then we will reach out to a professor in that program and ask if we can come and talk personally to them and um I have never had a professor say no they have always said yes I've been super impressed with all of the community colleges in our area and one how quick they are to respond and then how awesome they are about letting our kids come and some of them we come multiple times a year um we have visited the aviation technology program through sax City I can't sax city um we did it last year we did it again in the fall we have a lot of kids interested in um Auto and engines and so we're trying to encourage
085them to maybe think beyond the car and look at other possibilities for working with engines um and so we I just reached out to the guy again because we had a student who couldn't make it to the one in the fall but he's graduating and really wants to is really interested in the program and the professor there said anytime come and visit um so we've visited the fashion program at Sierra College the audio production at ARC cosmetology culinary culinary um just tons of different programs Advanced manufacturing yeah we just went and talked to the guy I'm a professor at Sierra who does works in the mechatronics department then he also showed the the kids their um they have a racing car club I'm not using the right terminology here but um the kids were super
086excited to see that too so um we have made some really good connections with junior colleges which has helped um get our kids to move on to some sort of schooling because once they go on campus they realize this is really cool I think I could be a part of this program um let's see sorry just to emphasize we expect those numbers to go up because speaking to Staffing our counselor that we had added is also a Sierra College counselor so our she works part-time with us and parttime as a Sierra College counselor so having her there to be able to walk them through that process not just for Sierra but she knows about how to help them expedite that process at other campuses it's it's really valuable to have her there for our students
087um she she recently worked with the students I think over to two-day period to get them signed up for FAFSA and then sea and I worked to communicate with parents to get them to do their part which is oftentimes one of the hardest parts of the FASA is getting parents to fill out their portion um and then she also helped she's continuing to help kids get registered we have students who graduated two years ago who come back and say I want to go to see her I don't know how to do it and we say go over to Kelly she's in room 600 um we're here to help you and so we've had I think at least two this year who have come back um who graduated multiple years ago come back to go on
088to school so that's not even recorded in there because they are um they weren't they didn't do that right after graduation um we we did look at our graduation numbers compared to some other schools in the area and we were looking we did look up just the the California graduation overall graduation rate is 83% and that is including comprehensive schools so we're doing pretty good when you think about that we're a continuation school and we're hitting in the 70% um and some of the you know lots of the continuation programs in our area are below 50% so we feel good we obviously have some room to grow though so we'll fig we'll be figuring that out next next please all right um one of the great things about our program is our internships and our
089leave to learns um our students are required to they do an intern at least a six- week internship throughout their time at Confluence West and um it's one of the hardest things that they do and it's oftentimes one of the most exciting things that they do we're each just going to highlight a story for you of a student who of students who have had a really awesome or you know whatever experience in their internships um I actually just today was driving to school and I passed some people in the town of Lumis truck and um they honk and they wave because all of the kids know my van and um it was these two students they both graduated in 2023 and um they both their internship there that year was to work with the town
090of Lumis um with the public works department the town of Lumis has been amazing and um they got to do so many different things and they ended up both of them were so reliable and consistent and such good workers and the timing worked out so perfectly that the town of lumus was actually hiring so they hired both of these students on both of them are still working there um and they've both I don't know if Jesse came back but Nolan came back this year we had an alumni um panel at the beginning of the year and he came back to just talk about how awesome that has been what a solid job um that has been for him and it's really been great to he's saving money to potentially buy a house um so that's
091a success story of our internship program and it should be noted speaking of coming to school that they were required to start at 7: a.m. for that internship and and they did uh so I think the student I'm going to talk about is one of the students on the attendance list but it's a student who just hates school school hates him in his mind and uh he really doesn't want to do a lot of the things that we do but he does it because he's a respect person and he came to me which is one of my favorite things when the students find the internships that they want and it's Armstrong manufacturing which is a place uh off of um foxley in Auburn and they make helicopter parts for Apache helicopters I can't even take
092we like to take pictures and Morgan posts the pictures of our students but I'm not allowed to take pictures in there because it's it's so secure you have million dooll machines and he's in there uh working with with high-end engineers and uh doing really quality work and it could absolutely lead to a job for him and I can promise you that he had no conception of that two years ago that he would that would even be a possibility so uh it that's one of the the things that it it doesn't just open up their eyes to possibilities for schooling it opens up their eyes to possibilities of what's Poss what what career Pathways they have that they never would have considered and it gives them access to that so it it's really an amazing program
093and it is the hardest thing I know there's a a feeling out there that Confluence and Confluence quests are easier and in some ways they are but you should just make call the guy and ask for an interest interview I don't I don't why don't and it's very difficult for them and so you know it's different it's not better or worse or harder or easier it's just different and that's one of the things that is very hard and but uh rather rewarding yes and I Jaden will get more time to speak later but I think Jaden um can speak to um taking risks which is one of the biggest things we promote a lot of a lot of our students um taking risks is terrifying to them um and Jaden has Jaden why don't you
094just tell your internship to maybe just talk about an um interest interview you've done would you just would you mind I know we didn't practice for this part okay oh okay yeah right now I had a interest interview at or not an interest interview I had an internship at Lake View Ranch it's a ranch with like horses um and I held it for six weeks it was really fun uh you learn like new things and uh you get a focus on like an area area you want to be in so that was really cool and then a interest interview I had I talked to a um upcoming actress uh her name is Haley Sims and uh just had to talk with her about how to get into acting so that's cool j Jaden is one
095of our bravest students and um she's a huge success story and one of the coolest people in the world for sure all right next um as far as kind of just um curriculum and so forth we are CBE is a huge success on our campus we have um found it's really easy to communicate to the kids especially when we're talking about what's next in life because it's CBE is so true to just jobs saying you need to master skills in order to move on to the next thing um we even went to a company um that was that's going to that works with us um in internships that literally had a four-point scale for all of their employees um it was so hilarious because he was so proud and his business is doing so well
096and he's like look what my employees have to do they have to demonstrate Mastery in this area in order to move on to this and I was like oh my gosh they're doing CBE um but our students were so angry with us at the beginning of the year they said why aren't we just doing credits this is so stupid um Sean and I held firm and said we are sticking with this and it has been nothing but a success the students by December we students who were graduating early we had one who I'll talk about him on the right um he it became it was it's such a transparent way to teach um and they they have so much access to this is what I have to master they know exactly what they have to
097master um sometimes they have to ask some questions about the proficiency scales um but this student on the right it's not a great picture for you guys necessarily you can't tell totally tell what's going on but basically this student was one he was so mad because he wanted to graduate in October and he's like I'm not going to be able to do it with CBE he didn't end up doing it by October but it's not because of CBE it's because he sat did nothing for too long but um once he started hitting some competencies he started realizing oh I get this I understand what I'm trying to do I understand what I'm trying to reach for and he um he just he said do you think that I could do some projects that maybe hit
098like lots of different competencies at one time and I was like absolutely tons of them have overlapping focuses um and he knew them so well by this this was probably in January he graduated in probably late February um this was probably January he came to me with this piece of paper and he said can you just look over this before I start this project on nuclear energy I just want to see do you think that this is right so basically he took every competency that he wanted to accomplish and he attached very highlevel critical thinking questions to them I didn't help him with this at all and he said okay I know that in order to get S7 which has to do a sustainability so he knew he needed to ask some questions about sustainability
099so he posted it was just so amazing and it was amazing to see the student who in the fall hated us for this I think me and Sean's sticking together on this um the students they don't even talk about credits anymore which it we've always said it's so silly to say you need to get these credits because it doesn't transfer whereas this saying you need to learn these skills that makes sense to them I need these skills in order to move on um it's so much easier for them to understand that when they're moving on to the next stage in life we can say to them um when you move into a job they're not you have to know skills in order to move to the next level so on the left is the way
100we have been Aries doesn't work for us for our the way we are doing competencies and so um Nick zerwas created a competency tracker for us which has just been amazing whenever a student hits one or thinks that they have they sit down with me and Sean we get to talk through it with them um any of the ones that have a little yellow triangle in there means that you can click on it and you can see their work and you can see what they have been accomplishing so then also is really cool to be able to say to a student look at all the stuff you've done um it's really amazing to do that so um that's kind of where we're going um and the middle one we had a student who one of
101our competencies is solving Community problems and so she at the beginning of the year said you know she saw the competency and she was like I don't know what are some problems and I was like well that's for you you have to identify the problem and she knew that we had worked with the Gathering in in Roseville before and so she said well I would love to do something with the homeless and I said great so she said can I do you have the contact information for the lady from the Gathering in and I said yeah and then she organized a whole trip brought some students we went there and helped them organize their clothing the the clothing distribution room totally student Le student organized she did all of the communicating to plan that trip
102um which was again in the past we've tried to encourage students to plan things on their own but without with that competency now they know I have to do this on my own we've had a lot of students that have said well what's a problem and it's like that's part of the competencies you have to notice that there's a problem um and so they're you know wandering around looking for what is something that I can solve um which is really cool all right next we wanted not enough oh next we wanted to just emphasize our connection with deloro because there's been some really great um great things happening because of our connection so the picture on the left is the wellness center we obviously could use way more Mental Health Specialists it's a huge need
103we wish that we had someone fulltime down with us our students could use um we really could use a mental health specialist full-time because there's so much stigma with going and visiting the Wellness Center or visiting a mental health special specialist that a lot of students don't want to do it um and so we've often said that if we could have someone that could just meet with everyone regularly the stigma would go away um and it would be really helpful but the three mental he Specialists that are up um for Del Oro are so good they meet with us once a month and they have made some great connections with some students um they are quick to respond if we have any issues um um there's a picture of Donna Silva up there because the
104office in general is so wonderful um it's really hard on them to be at to have some added you know responsibilities but for the most part they have just been so welcoming to us Donna even before we were delos Donna um is just so amazing we have a lot of students who it's not just about education it's um getting new glasses find figuring out how to get to the doctor cu no one's taking them to the doctor um figuring out how to get um health insurance those sorts of things and Donna has really stepped up and been a resource for us um to help us with that and we just appreciate everyone up there but Donna Silva is just really amazing um and then we have a student taking Ceramics that's U Mason he created
105that and took an awesome picture of I I don't even know what it is maybe it's a dice I'm not really sure but it's cool it looks really pretty um and then Jaden and Jaden's going to talk a little bit about Jaden came into our school wanting to be an actor that was that's Jaden's goal maybe not anymore no still still is um and so we said last semester you Jaden is not was not a Delo student Jaden came to us um from Texas Texas and um so we said you can still take classes on Del so Jaden um decided to take drama so Jaden's going to talk a little bit about maybe just talk to us about what it's like taking a class on Delo campus uh so at first it was really uh
106scary I had to get I didn't have to but I asked to get walked to class for the first week because I didn't want to go alone um because Delora was a campus that I haven't been on so it's really hard for me to go up there but they had no problem walking me up there for a little week sadly but it's fine um but drama at Delo is really fun um Confluence doesn't have a drama class um but they were like you can just take it at deloro and Morgan helped me and so did Kelly I think yeah Kelly Kelly got me into that class and so I should take it now so what might you be doing with the Little Mermaid production oh um so uh I might do the lights for it
107uh because I'm not ready to go on stage yet I haven't got there yet so um yeah uh Miss Watson's really helpful too she was like you don't have to like do anything big yet so Co the teacher is pretty good um so that's been that's pretty awesome we have had multiple students who have we've been able to say you have this interest take it at deloro a lot of them are scared like Jaden a lot of the reason they come to us because the class sizes are very overwhelming to them so um but some of them are brave enough like Jaden Jaden has been a superstar going up there having to get on stage do how many monologues have you had to do like three to four three I can't even believe it Jaden
108is shy doesn't NE well I don't know when she's with us she's not shy but when you get in front of other people shy um but um so brave so proud of you okay all right let's see um next okay some things that are coming up we have um we're continuing to revise our proficiency scales obviously this is our first year with them so Sean and I meet um every single week and we go through proficiency skills we are now at the process of trying to add project ideas to each proficiency scale which is really good for us too because we hit one that we were both like this one's confusing I think it took me like at least three weeks to be like Sean I am still not getting it please help me with
109this um and so that's been really helpful because then obviously we can explain it better to the students when we are fully understanding it um we have been talking about with Pastor school for adults of ways that we can work with them a little bit better so that our students can more easily transition into their program if needed because unfortunately we do have students who do not graduate from our program and that's an option for them um we're continuing to make connections with new business part partners for internships and so forth we're adding new people all the time um we're starting our landscape community service project I'm sporting the shirt um we have I we have officially put out the nomination form um it is a community service pro project so we are encouraging people
110to nominate people who deserve it or need it for whatever reason so it I think just today it was sent out to the Delo teachers to nominate one another for us to go to their house while they're at work and we'll mow your lawn we'll weed beat all of the you know Tall Grass that's been growing up um and this gives our students an opportunity to work and get some practice um we also hope once we get start getting things from the requests from the community start having stud students do the calling and setting up the services um and then we are Sean is actually going to talk a little bit about the Seal of Civic engagement because he has a student that's going through that well I Morgan would never say it but she
111wrote a grant to get the funding to have this the stuff purchased for that she got the trailer donated from a hardware uh her student designed the shirts so and CBS 13 is coming to talk about it to because they want to look at it so bringing a lot of positive uh attention to to the district so the state SE seal of Civic engagement Morgan would also not say it but she's incorporating that as an opportunity into one of her classes she has a um a class called we get to make our own classes based on student needs and interests and and what we think they need and she created a community engagement class and part of that is extension is all students in that class will have the opportunity to to do that and
112then I have a a student who is pursuing it on her own she's doing a phone riser uh which is you collect uh she read an article about e-w around the world electronic waste and the problems and benefits of it and so she decided to do phone razor she got connected with with the people there uh she did I did the initial communication she's done all the other Communications beyond that she's reaching out to different organizations for where she can put the collections and how to get the word out and and it's a it's a a a big problem and one that you know I mean how many many cell phones each of you have sitting in your home because you don't know where to go what to do with them you're constantly getting new
113ones and they're just sitting around and so phone raiser just takes the money and then responsibly recycles the stuff and I mean takes phones and chargers and other things and they give us the money and then going through the process of securing the uh letters of recommendation and justifying what she's doing and how it it it meets the standards of of the state seal of Civic engagement and it's it's been stressful for her but the the you know not all stress is bad stress and it's been a great growing opportunity for her I think that's it you guys are so awesome um I was hoping I I for whatever reason that didn't hit when I was reviewing the slides at the state seal when you guys were talking about the problem solving I was like
114they are perfect candidates for this award and then it was there so that's amazing so so cool last year in plaster County there was not one recipient of that seal and so plaster Union High School District has an opportunity and I love that you guys are creating a focus on that so cool and Jaden thank you for being brave thank you for sharing part of your story and um something exciting and uh and keep being brave keep being brave I think that that's super super cool I've been in tons of Productions and I've helped directed uh Productions and I've helped students at doloro prepare an audition for for Productions and so anyway just keep at it I'm sure that they're making you do all kinds of weird things in your drama class to get you
115very uncomfortable which is beautiful lean in um good for you and thank you for being here tonight thank you guys so much than you [Applause] guys so good so heartwarming um so deloro turn now um typically so I've been in have been in this district for eight years I've had the opportunity to be part of lots of different um board showcases and see lots of others and I think they're all excellent um typically they go with this model of let's talk about our our data on all sorts of different different categories let's talk about character Pillars let's talk about student engagement and so we wanted to do something a little different tonight but we still think there's value in Sharing all that data so we put a a website together you can find it at
116bit. le- Showcase it's case sensitive and we have videos and presentations on all of those things a video on our character Pillars where we talk about all the things that we celebrate we're celebrating you mentioned no honor rooll we do celebrate honor rooll we call it you know uh academic letters and so we do that all the time going into students classes and doing that we have a video on a tog uh CCI all of those things so please review them at your leisure and um let us know we love we geek out on data so if you have questions on that stuff please let us know and we're doing that so that tonight we can simply tell a story we want to tell you one simple story it's about math incompletes um and we've
117brought a handful of different people different characters to tell their perspective on that story from from this term and last term um and my job initially is to set the scene for the story so there is a little bit of data that you need to set the scene so if you go to the next Slide the first thing you'll see here is our math sback scores so each row is a year each column is a school and then the column on the far right is the state of California and what you'll see in Del oro's column is large growth over the last three years uh with a dip this past year but still growth um and you see on the we put those other schools up there because a couple things we put the state
118up there so we can show that we're well above the the state average this is for the percentage of students who met or exceeded standard we put Ponderosa High School up there that's the purple um because that's the school in our area who our demographics align most closely with so it's a school we should be comparable to and you see over the last three years we we beat them handily um and then we put Rockin Whitney and Granite Bay up there just because we're competitive um and so you can see Rocklin you know we beat them the last three years uh Whitney the last three years and Granite Bay Tua the last three years so that's one piece of uh of information to set the scene for the story we'll tell tonight the next slide
119will show you another piece of information so this takes a little more digesting let me explain what you're seeing these are uh each column is a term so this is the last seven years of um of terms each each column is one one uh semester or term at at at our school and so on the far left you see fall of 2017 and the gray bar is the number of students who did not pass an integrated math class so integrated math one two or three that's considered high school math and so in Fall of 2017 we had 117 students not pass math class the yellow number is the number of students who got an incomplete and then completed it so those zeros on the left that's not because you know students were getting incompletes and
120not completing it incompletes weren't really part of our practice at that point so as you're coming across you'll see a huge jump in Spring of 2020 we all you know what that is that's the co bump and but then what you see is that the number doesn't really come back down right it stays pretty high and then you'll see in Spring of 2022 that yellow number starts to be not zero so we started to to play with completes and have students finishing that course after the 18 weeks so to contrast those two things excellent sback scores um but also uh lots of students not finding success in their integrated math classes that's the scene next thing in any good story is the characters what do we got Mr rickall good evening board good evening student
121board members District admin teachers students and community members tonight we want to tell a story a math story it's not just about numbers and equations it's about the people behind them the challenges they faced and the successes they had together so our characters we have our math students with incompletes our Math teachers our parents the admin team and the unsung heroes are student tutors tonight you'll hear from each of these Representatives um but before that I want to introduce Miss streker who's been the myestro conducting behind the scenes of this story um and she's got to tell you how this story began so miss reker in Aristotelian Spirit I'll bring forward uh a good plot line for you so next slide um we started this uh effort dur like right uh at the end of
122fall term during finals week and it became clear that uh many students approaching that 18 week Mark um weren't weren't going to make it all the way and so we knew we needed to set a a plan in place and so um we started meeting with the math PLC and really getting strategic about how we could respond um both in a way that was going to be helpful and in a way that was going to be successful so uh we put this plan in place we developed some Alex modules for students to be able to work with um vetted them through the math PLC and then really encouraged hey if there is a kid who is close to getting across the line and really could utilize an incomplete let's try it out um so on
123Saturday December 21st which was the day after the end of winter term um Mr zerwas and I came into school and worked that day and we uploaded all 116 students who had gotten an incomplete in math into Alex classes and then initiated communication with those students and families so that they could um use winter break to practice the skills and hone the skills that they had not quite yet demonstrated success in in their math class we wanted them to have specific practice that was aligned to the scale that they had not completed that allowed them to not practice math in general but practice the one skill or two skills that they really needed to work on we had 67 students over winter break log in and actually initiate that practice then when we came back
124the first week of spring term was when the magic started to happen um I went into flexi skedge and worked with um our intervention coordinator uh Joel a to make sure I had a protected student group of the kids who had these math incompletes and I hard requested them into um an intervention in the learning Commons with the admin team um and a bunch of amazing amazing amazing student tutors that you will hear from so next up please oh I'm sorry um my mistake um so then uh as we as we got working through things we recognized uh kind of the limitations of our own effort to support and we recognized we needed to integrate even more math tutors so having more people come in so we really worked with um Joy Donnie and Morgan
125zerwas who are our CSS um advisers and we brought in CSF student tutors who were highly qualified and re recommended by Math teachers to be able to support I am one two and three um we actually even had a week where um uh students were really struggling with proofs specifically and kind of everyone was a little bit lost so um Mr Vincent blank came in and he actually did a mini lesson specifically focused on proofs to be able to give those students at reteaching and relearning in that um Learning Center the testing center um The Learning Center while we were together then as students demonstrated adequate proficiency at 80% or above in the skill that they were practicing they then um met the requirement to unlock a assessment and they were able to take an
126assessment to demonstrate to their um math teacher that they had actually acquired that Proficiency in that one skill or subject area that they they needed to be working on so next up we have yeah another piece yeah so you've got the setting you've got the characters you got the plot and timeline what I want to show you here this is a slide you've already seen so you see that that Gray Line that kind of goes up and then stays up and that takes us through spring of last year and if you go to the next slide you'll see the fall of this year where we had uh 116 students that received an incomplete and then 103 of them that completed that incomplete with a with a SE or better um and ended up demonstrating everything
127they need to demonstrate to pass that class and and being able to go on to the next level so that's 89% of students who received an incomplete were able to go on to the next level lots of success um and now what we want to do is Miss barbar is going to come up and kind of MC as each of these characters or representatives from each of these characters get to tell their perspective on story good evening next SL um so tonight we get to share with you all of the real life characters that are here to tell you their story and so I'm going to begin with our Math teachers Mr Newton and Mr Blake that will come up and share their experience as teachers um so I guess the Story begins with us
128the math department um went around November and December um we knew we were going to possibly have a whole bunch of incompletes and in the past as you can see we've never really given very many incompletes um and so this was New Territory for us um to like obviously we were very concerned we want to help our students we want them to be successful um but we were starting to have this kind of overwhelming feeling of when January hits some of us could have anywhere from you know if you have three or four or five incompletes in one block times three you're having anywhere you know a minimum of maybe 12 or 15 incompletes that you're trying to work with or more and all of a sudden in January you're trying to help these students
129get through their incompletes and we also know that kids struggle and so most of us are placing students in our interventions right away um usually by the second week some of us even the first week if we know ahead of time that kids are going to struggle so we were trying to figure out how are we going to manage having students from the you know previous semester and getting them through their incompletes and knowing they were going to need a lot of extra help while also trying to make sure our students in our current semester were being successful um and so luckily for us our admin team was able to meet with us and kind of create this plan that really took the load off of us in a lot of ways um where we
130were still somewhat involved we felt very comfortable with um sort of the plan that was in place that we felt like we were holding the rigor and the standard and the expectations that we had for all students um but to be totally honest took the load off of us and so we were able to um it's like really focus on our new students um while checking in with our or at least I checked in I think some of us checked in with our incompletes um in January they'd come see us every once in a while or I'd you know run into them or whatever and check on them and see how they were doing so we could give them that encouragement and so that's kind of my side of story evening board uh two years
131ago I stood before you guys and uh with some other fellow colleagues and talked about the adoption of reveal mcra Hill and the Alex program and really having only scratched the surface of what that program could offer um and I remember it vividly my brain because it was after a long day of teaching and I definitely had 10 seconds of just absolute silence in the word left my head and principal Jamie Jackson uh helped remind me the word was resources Vincent resources that was the word so I this is my moment of redemption uh but um I'm here to say that after using the Alex program getting a lot more familiar with it it was so instrumental in conducting the incomplete because I tried to use the incomplete model before in previous classes and it
132just did not work out I really was not successful at all was the the zero in that yellow box because my students weren't doing the couldn't get them to to Really buy into the program but with Alex they really did um and with that as my term my fall term was coming to an end I had students strategically planning uh what modules or what scales are going to remediate one student lovingly called uh the incomplete model I land and said I want to take modules to five and six to Island and that's when to get done and so they went in with this plan um and it was if anything I was really just blown away by how supportive our admin team is as uh Miss Newton said just the extreme level of support they
133provided in the learning Commons and with intervention um and also this model really helped me get in contact with the parents and uh supporting their students in the in the in complete model as well and I think it's just a huge Testament to the community that we have um and the network that we have at Del to support our students um even when the term comes to an end that we're still there for them and cheering them on thank you Math teachers now we're going to hear from our math student Payton Spalding hey y am I supposed how far should I be from this um hi I'm Payton I'm a sophomore Delo I was repeating math one in the fter even though I had taken this class before I was having trouble understanding a few
134of the concepts when the term ended I still don't pass to the proficiencies My Grave was incomplete over Christmas break I got an email saying that I would have the opportunity to retake the test using the Alex program when we got back to school I set on flexi sketch I was assigned to the learning comments for math for the whole week at first I thought I was in trouble but once they explained what was going on I got to work I thought it would only take me about a week to finish but it ended up taking me the whole four weeks the environment helped me f focus and I felt productive the tutors were amazing and helped so much there were a few days where I was afraid that I might not pass but I
135ended up passing module 6 at 94% and module 14 with 98% I felt so good and I was super happy that I finally passed and I want to shout out my tutor Sandra she really helped me get across the finish line thanks you thanks you thank you nice job thank you Payton next up we have a student tutor Emma marks tutoring injury um hi my name is Emma Marx and I'm currently a sophomore this term I had the opportunity to be a tutor for students who have received an incomplete in math as a tutor I spent my time in intervention in the learning Commons walking around in ass assisting students with any math problems they didn't fully understand over the course of several weeks I worked closely with these students helping them Master the areas
136they initially struggled with it was in incredibly rewarding to see their progress for instance one of my friends told me I finally understand this now it this finally makes sense to me after I helped her with a topic that she once struggled with another student I worked with had always struggled with math she told me that because of the tutoring and the support she began to enjoy math and developed better H study habits hearing that was incredibly fulfilling for me and it showed how much peer tutoring could make a difference just beyond numbers and formulas I believe it's incredibly valuable that students were helping each other because we can often relate with one with one another better than a teacher might be able to we've all been through similar struggles and that makes our support
137way more effective I think the incomplete tutoring was a great experience as a tutor and it was amazing to see so many students pass thank you Emma now we're going to hear from the parent perspective Debbie Lawson hi good evening board um for our freshman son Mark the ability to retake math tests and the chance to retake the math final during the first few weeks of the new semester meant that Mark was able to pass integrated integrated math one although ma Mark paid attention in class and studied for the tests the format of that class didn't lend well to his learning style I know this is going to happen with particular classes or teacher student combinations as Mark would take a test he had trouble knowing what to study for and therefore failed many of
138the tests on his first try the failed test actually gave him the Insight he needed to know what to study for that he wasn't getting from homework in class time and he subsequently passed each of the tests of course the final was offered at the end of the year and without the grace period that bled into the next period or next semester mark would have failed the course because he had the opportunity to retake the test he was able to pass the course and avoid taking the whole class over because of one failed Test passing the course built his confidence for future classes he knew he would be taking he always felt down when he didn't pass a test but was Li lifted up after passing a retake and showing that he did know the
139subject matter and he could prove it Mark took full responsibility when coordinating a time to retake the final with his math teacher he knew he had one last chance to pass this class and he took full advantage of this last try he studied a ton and was very excited and proud of himself when he passed in just last point the communication from the school to me letting us know the next step and the next step was pure and easy to understand and and it helped us help Mark be ready for to retake his incomplete thank [Applause] you um so now I'm going to introduce myself I'm Liz barberio and I am an assistant principal that got to help um in this whole process so we uh Mr M dreker and Mr zerwas did an amazing
140amount of work to help prepare the students to come in and um work in the learning commment as well as the student tutors the students themselves um it was an amazing feat to get there so we got there and the admin team would show up and it was lots of students that were in the learning Commons and we were there to support and check in um and then what would happen is after the students were were prepared and they had um done their practice the tests were unlocked and so that's where one of my areas was I would go into a separate room which was the testing room and students would come in and one of two things would happen the students would sit down and they would do what they could and they didn't
141pass and we would talk over what they needed to improve and they would have a plan Miss treker would work with them of okay where are the areas that are weakness and so how can we make those changes how can you work with the student tutors how can you work with your teachers how can you go and practice to master and demonstrate your understanding and so they would walk away they would go back and practice and then the other thing that they would do is they would come back and they would pass and I want to tell you that the feeling that when we would walk in there and they would sit down and they'd say oh my gosh I've worked hard I I think I'm ready for this and I said okay take a
142deep breath you've got everything that you need just show us that you know it and the number of times that they would finish up and they' look up and what's the percentage and they would tell us and that moment that you got to go over and give that high five was something that I cannot ever share with you I hope you get that opportunity because that high five and saying that I'm so proud of you because you guys did the hard work you did everything to demonstrate that you could do it and so when I see the students and they say oh you helped me pass math during that time I didn't do the work I was only there to give you that high five to show that you are the rock star that passed
143so it was an am amazing incredible opportunity to just really be their number one fan and number one cheerleader so it was an awesome opportunity and now I'm going to introduce our counil Miss Montgomery at deloro counselors are finishing up with our one-on-one meetings and during those meetings we check graduation requirements a3g requirements and college in career Readiness indicators so we meet with every single student and this year during our one-on ones a few things stood out to me many students have had to repeat classes and math is one of those subjects that students struggle with and this fall as you've heard more than a hundred students went from a grade of incomplete in math to a passing grade it became really clear to me that academic confidence is growing I had students say things
144like I conquered it when talking about math for next year they said I know it's going to be hard but I think I can do it overall I have to say that there was an increased sense of hope another positive outcome I noticed is that instead of of repeating a math class for the second or third time students were excited to get to take a welding class or hopefully finally get culinary or they had the confidence to take an AP Psychology class they were able to finish that CT pathway and maybe take a second one I saw a sense of Pride our students work really hard and it's been great to see that their hard work paid off in such a clear and concrete way I feel like it started a shift the ability to
145navigate difficult things to effectively seek out help and not give up is such a valuable outcome hopefully this shift in Pass rates in math will continue to improve as well because higher math passing rates means lower class sizes in math and that is good for every body thank you um so I just when when a student says I conquered it or I know it's going to be hard but I I believe I can do it that's just going to stick with you and it feels so good um this is not the end of the story though go to that the last slide here oh actually Mrs M this was this was uh um we were gonna have this up during M mcgomery because these are the number of students right this is the number of
146nth graders 10th graders 11th graders and the number of students were who were taking im1 for the think about it this way 54 students were taking im1 20 of them taking it for the second or third time that means 34 freshmen that would have failed math didn't fail math or would have gone on to the next level without knowing all the things now they demonstrated all the things which is so cool um but if you go to that last slide um this is not the end of the story right we're we're just figuring it out and we found we found this this moment of success and we're going to continue this story in a couple ways we're going to track the progress of these students right because they're going on to the next level math
147um if they if they pass into grade one or two they're going on to the next level math um and some of them if they pass into grade three they might be as well um so we'll track their progress and see um how do they compare to a student that failed the class and had to take it twice um we're also doing a similar model that will even be more robust this summer so in the in the first four and a half weeks of the spring term students had about 11 hours of support in those uh those weeks during that intervention Block in the first three weeks of Summer we're going to do a model with Mr Blake and a bunch of tutors where they're actually going to have 44 hours of support because it'll
148be four hours a day uh for 11 days um for those those first three weeks so hopefully we'll have you know a similarly large group of students who we can support and and help uh get them across the finish line and have that same feeling for them where they say I conquered it um so we're doing that we're also doing these integrated two and three prep courses that we will share with all students anyone who wants them uh but also we're going to specifically Target students who did take that extra time and needed that extra support to get through with this incomplete model and we're going to strongly encourage them to hey you're going to be taking this next class next year this is a way to you know make sure you shorted up the
149the previous skills from that one and get ready for the next one and then we also will continue the model we we did we started this last year where we have our incoming nth graders um have access to some you know preper prep class for integrated math one so that's the incomplete story of math um and see so thank you all Mr you got a couple questions I think oh yeah thank you this has been really insightful and uh love the data I have some questions about if we go to slide these numbered yes what are you looking for this one yeah yeah h no keep going one with the REM one more there you go that one yeah this is really interesting I'm I have some questions about how like the jumps how do
150you guys interpret the jumps from like the terms in 17 18 and 19 kind of in the similar range to almost doubling in size yeah yeah so that spring 20 is covid right that's where that's where you know and then recovering from covid I think you know I think there's some learning loss that happens and some you know the world is changing as well student study habits are changing as well so I think there's some of that that's that's the continual residual effects and so hopefully we're able to with this you know it's just one term of success so far but hopefully we're able to kind of capitalize on that and build on that model um but yeah I think I think the initial bump in Spring 20 is a can be attributed but enrollment
151numbers were similar across all years I didn't do this as percentages but yeah enrollment has been fairly steady um it's kind of gone down a little bit but uh but fairly steady but yes some of the enrollment you might have in a particular term some more math classes in one term or the other um the reason I did it this way and I can get you the numbers as far as percent is the reason I did it this way is because I wanted to I wanted us to think about there's 103 kids there which is it's remarkable I mean because prior to this uh if you go back to the 238 students that had the incomplete and only eight of them were able to successfully move on does that mean they have to retake the
152238 are not students who got an incomplete 238 got a a d for NC and yes they retake yeah right on a lot yeah it's a lot yeah we got to get we're getting better no that's awesome thank you a question as well so on that very last slide I'm glad you had that in there because I was going to ask you that question um I would really like to see you know when you present next year how many of those students that got an incomplete in the fall term took a NE the next level math class and actually passed it um that'd be really interesting for me to find out because that that'll tell us if Alex is actually preparing them for the next level class or is just giving them just enough to
153where they can you know pass and you know get the grade and move on which is a big difference between the two kind of one one thing to think about is if a student uh makes it through integrated one with this model and then it takes them two times in integrated two to make it through integrated two took them three times to make it through integrated one and two right similarly if they retook integrated one twice and then got to integrated two a lot of times students then take integrated two twice and so sometimes it's taking three or four times to get through integrated two so it is certain data that we'll want to track and look carefully at you're right yeah uh question oh sorry sorry and with respect to trust lakes's uh question
154as well um I sat down with a number of the math uh Department uh teachers from deloro today during lunch um and one of the comments that was made is it seems like especially since uh covid the students are coming to Del Oro less and less well prepared for math um so that's something to kind of keep in the back of our minds too there's only so much our Math teachers are going to be able to do um if they're not coming to us at the level that they need to be at so yeah yeah a couple things is we get to control what we can control right we are doing articulation meetings with our with our uh Foundation schools to try to try try to bridge that Gap we also um and I think
155uh chassid or Dr rbuk Bia looked at this with her her math numbers is looking at their uh eth grade or seventh grade esack scores compared to 11th grade and so we do the same and we see that there's a there's actually a big drop off so by the time we have those students for three years we got to make sure that we're doing all that we can to get them schooled up to to be competent at math so that's what we're working on so with the incomplete um I have a couple questions regarding the incompletes one is this number um that you presented so the first round so we had 238 incompletes and then we had um two 238 is the DF or NC right eight is the number of incompletes that complet oh
156Excuse me yes is that what we're looking at from last spring and then and then um projecting forward so this number slice that we're seeing with the remediation from the incompletes is this also includ I'm assuming um including students that were previously an NC but based on the board's Direction early January some of the NC's were now qualified um as an i for math I don't think any Math teachers did that I'm not totally sure but I don't think any Math teachers took someone maybe Ella could speak to that I um will you please come to the mic sorry anybody watching won't hear your voice yeah um we decided as a math department um integrated three um since that for most kids is those kids specifically were probably their terminal class um I think most
157of us for integrated 3 we went with their grade if they ended up passing without the completing all of the scales integrated one and two because those are foundational classes we decided as a department that it was important to hold that standard and hold that line for all those kids um so I don't think any of our as far as I know according to our depart meeting that we had um none of the integrated one or two teachers changed grades the kids had to go back and earn that actual grade from their incomplete does that make sense yes did I answer your question I think so I I'm I recall a story shared by a parent who um they had their student was missing one more um proficiency scale outside of qualifying for an incomplete
158and with the change they were allowed to try to remediate and they said he wasn't qualified at that point but um they were so thankful um that the board had made that decision to allow some um some leniency or some decision-making if they were close and so if that story is true there's at least I know I can actually your question directly there was there was one teacher in the department that made the decision to um to make that change and it was prior to the PLC decision being made those numbers are not included in that data so there there's more um pass from from incomplete potentially this is this is truly uh the expression of the data that uh is related to the efforts of that learning Comon intervention awesome um I think that
159that's tremendous and I think the way you guys organized it um you know should absolutely be applauded 103 kids that wouldn't have passed is remarkable so that's incredible uh to your point trusty Jeff do you have any students that are back-to-back math classes right now that were remediating i1 and in2 at the same time just come just stay up here because I'm wondering up to your point and your question do we even have them back to back to have some of that data we have a couple have a couple I currently have um actually at the beginning of the semester I had three students who were who hadn't passed integrated 2 um but were currently enrolled in my integrated 3 class wow um so they were remediating their integrated two grade and making up their
160incomplete while they were beginning integrated 3 and I'll be I was super nervous for those kids that was one of we had a little bit of a sticking point um with that because we were very does not struggle in expressing good for you I like a woman speak mine yeah um and I will say so one of the students was unable to make up her incomplete so she had to go back and to integrated to um and do that and then the other two students are in my class right now and they're I wouldn't have known that they were they hadn't that they received an incomplete in integrated to to be totally honest they are just an average student in my class with everybody else so um as material gets harder or something like like
161who knows we'll see what ends up happening and I'm really curious to see the data um Mr zos be ready to say I Told You So at the end not in a bad way but hopefully in a good way it's it's good for kids so I know that Lisa two students I have currently that you know had that integrated two grade to make up are both doing just fine that's awesome hopefully fingers crossed that'll be true for all of them yeah one more question for you y Sor no it's okay I love this topic I love math and I and I love the success this is a huge like it's it's really uh it's really promising and and Kudos and hats off to all the work that went into the logistics of having that whole
162summer program we can get better at it I think we we learned some things along the way and we'll get better sure the the the number one thing I hear from students that that kind of uh as far as retesting uh they say well if I know I can just retest then I don't have to work as hard that's been our concern as well and it's a strategy that's conversation in our department yeah students are smart and they kind of figure the stuff out so I'm just curious from your perspective do you see see that oh 100% we definitely um we've changed sort of our testing model this semester um be in some of the classes because we were experiencing so many kids who were coming in and they would just thought out say like
163I don't think I'll take it today because I'll just take it the next time I mean they'll they'll tell you I mean they're going to be very honest with us um so I know most classes I know last semester we kind of had an unlimited retake policy um which was a lot of work for the teachers to be totally honest um and very over overwhelming um but most classes have modified that a little bit to either fewer retake attempts so there's not this unlimited and kind of unending opportunity um to having things like either a cumulative test that'll replace you know previous scales um to I don't remember exactly what all the different teachers are doing but and they're consistent within integrated one teachers I think are all consistently doing the same thing integrated two
164teachers are all consistently doing the same thing integrated three were probably the were're a little bit different um amongst the five of us so but still fairly consistent overall but just maybe a little bit different ways to tackle it and the changes you've made you feel have benefited your students and yeah I I mean I think in the sense that I feel like kids are coming in a little bit more prepared and you know not having this expectation that they're going to get to take it as many times as they want it's interesting I teach the dual enrollment stats class which means I don't let them do retakes because there aren't retakes at Sierra College in the math department but after our first exam and I told kids there's no retake do not expect there
165to be retake and after the first exam I had multiple kids say when's the retake and I said well I'll let the final replace your lowest exam score so like it is permeating at least our department and having this expectation um and we do want to make sure that that's not an expectation in our department we want to provide opportunities for them to show us they know what they're doing we want to provide opportunities for them to be successful but because they're taking it seriously and they're you know not just because they're finding the loopholes and the easy way out I think that's human nature a little bit so thank you I really appreciate the feedback course anytime thank you Nick I have one question a tremendous success first fall in terms of the 103
166people that succeeded but my question is of the 115 that didn't succeed what data is there if any in terms of what's happening to them uh in other words uh they're going to have to complete the math program they're going to have to retake it are they succeeding or not they're G yeah well they'll ret I mean the the data for those students those students are really varied right because they're integrade one two or three and so if if you're not passing integrade one there's there's no other option you're going to retake inte grade one if you're a senior and you're not passing inte grade three we've got some other options for them this term so we can get them to graduate um but yeah that I'd have to dig into exactly who those hundred
167I'm just curious and of the of this uh this total of 115 kids were they trying to pass were they they got an incomplete did they try three times and then they didn't make it because that's what the policy is I think you get three attempts at retake and then you don't get any more is that what happened to them it's a good question uh the5 are not students who got an incomplete so 116 total stud students got an incomplete and then and those students are 103 of them are yellow and then the rest 13 see I did that in my head are are now in the gr so there's only 13 students in integrated math one two or three who received an incomplete so they got close enough and then they didn't finish were
168they trying we were supporting them in the library and some of them they shouldn't have they weren't they definitely weren't you know weren't ready and they needed a lot more work to go on to the next level and so retaking the course was the best option for them we even had a student who probably could have finished but felt like I I want to get more skilled up on this and so chose to retake the course um so yeah there's there's lots of different answers to who are those 115 students maybe Ardella could come back just kidding oh you stayed here trick okay I appreciated your presentation you made it fun I like a story and um and your cartoons were epic was that AI like who created that good job hey I am Mr
169R's grandchild that was fun that was fun thank you guys for that we appreciate your time good work okay um I know thank you guys for you can leave if you don't want to stick around anymore thank you for being here parents and um counselors um I have a few items I know we have a big agenda to get to so I want to get through these uh first of all thank you to Mike Paul Paul and his students for creating the railings um they should be intact probably through the Armageddon so we should be good they are very very sturdy um we had our first delor student engagement as you've already heard it was very successful we had great student input and I I receiv received several follow-up emails from students thanking me and
170um providing more input um plaster was was concluded it was I think they're going to be happy with the results they got and then tomorrow um the was committee will be meeting with um lead team again with deloro in their process tomorrow uh quality schools was fantastic thank you to Robert lemon and our cnis and all of our teacher leaders to see I tried to pop into as many of the sessions as I could um it was outstanding they our presenters were professional and they were for by and large all of our employees it was fantastic and um it's just a great day it's a tradition of phsd to do these um profession profal development and they they really take a lot to pull off and um they never disappoint so um in your folders
171tonight trustees there's the plaster County School boards Association executive committee ballot please return those to Dez if you haven't done so um Ruby you're going to love the facilities report today so stick around um from Mr E he's very engaging and he's going to talk a lot about kofax so I think you're going to enjoy that um master schedule season as you heard from our counselors uh they're in the midst of one-on ones and that is just a wild wild season they're wrapping up their time meeting with students 10one thank you trusty Jeff for bringing up that email with a parent from kofax I'm sure they're going to get on that because um they're finishing up that process and then they'll be meeting with parents that have questions um pcoe governance Institute module three uh
172is at the end of this month and they're going to be looking at curriculum adoptions and state and federal measures should be um super exciting um and then we have a couple updates to our student engagements with things happening on our campuses um kfax we did move because as you heard it is their Olympic week and that's U pretty large uh Forest Hill is going to be on the 2nd of April pler on the 23rd of April and then kfax May 7th and then our next regular board meeting on April 8th and I think that concludes my report for tonight thank you thank you very much all right we're going to go ahead and move to item 7.6 Associated teachers of plaster CTA Nea ATP president's report come on down hello perfect that's okay thank
173you do you have enough for public if they want them you know what I'm happy to share and I can always write and and this is a work in progress so realistically like I can make copies for the next time somebody wants it yeah yeah yeah for sure and I can give my copy up too I have no problem with that um so we do have a little more information um last time we presented it was individual data and it just didn't quite rub right in the sense of um the proportion of teachers that we had that had responded and a lot of that um people just said they were they were tired trying to figure out with the Departments what they were going to go through and do so we went back and we've
174uh now had discussions slash gathered survey data in the opposite direction um we sent out a survey that Jacob had created asking for um as departments as plc's what they were feeling now now that we've been into it for a little bit um and and Gathering some feedback so to address what you were asking me earlier um the questions were very very simple um and set up as decision-making questions so for example uh were as a department were they looking more at the fourpoint scale or the percentage being better for their subject area for their site and then we looked at um the scales would would you rather do you think it's better in terms of grading to grade with the scales in the grade book or by categories like what we had done previously
175um and then we looked at okay the scales are they finished because we already knew from the individual feedback that overall people are very happy with the skills they feel that it's important that everyone knows what it is that the students are going to be expected to learn right so from from everybody from the teachers from the students from the parents that's something that is invaluable right to know what you're going to be expected so we went and asked okay well are your scales complete or do you need more time to complete your scales um and then we asked about um incomplete policy and for each one of these questions there was space for the teachers to make comments on this and when I say the teachers again this is the the department so the
176department chair went and talks to their departments to get an overall view of where they were um because within Department Ms it's expected that we work together that we find a commonality that we do what's best for the students right and so if you look at the um at the chart that is on there we do have some striking patterns that are coming up and a little bit more information gather too based off of the the part where people are putting in their own comments so there's some things that we might want to know and if there are particular things that strike you that you would like us to go back and ask you know we're more than willing to do that so you can see across cax almost everybody was um looking at the
177fourpoint scale if there's an F after it it meant that they specifically said that they were flexible that they found that either one would be um would work for them if it um says on their categories it's just cat and you'll notice on after some of them it says WF and what that means is specifically this was not asked but specifically in the area where people people could make comments they said yes we would like to do scales but we would like to determine as a department how those are waited or we would like to determine what those scales are and um the same thing with the categories if you see a WF after those that's what that means it means that specifically that that department wanted to make sure that they communicated that they
178in order to make the grades as accurate as possible that they wanted to be able to determine how the those were placed within the grade book Beth real F so of course is this showing what they would like to do or is this what they're doing yes the answer okay both yeah so um and I don't think you have to worry about um more fluctuations happening now this was also expressed in that some of the decisions were made is that they just flat out don't want to flip the students back and forth right and so there's not going to be any additional changes made this term the the decisions were made and there's been a lot of reflection on that that's happened and this is what's come out of that right um so if you
179look at Plaster um we got feedback now and so there were some updates since Saturday and there's a few more that we need from deloro um but plaster there's a definite Trend towards um percentage based with the exception of um vapa CTE in sped all three of those said four point please um in Delo you can go ahead and look across there too I would rather wait to talk about them specifically until I get some more information and we should also get since um Delo is very heavily um H has a high number of participants for the the committee right the four committees that we have for um that on the well it's four days um I would expect to get some more information there too um but the other schools are not as well
180presented so I think this is probably going to be our best dig for for information for plaster cax and then the smaller sites and you'll also see for the smaller sites that um the the fourpoint is what popped up across the board um in terms of proficiency scales if you look down you can see on there a t after it means please more time and okay means that they felt that the proficiency scales were already in a place where they could be used um to do grading and so that's on there um class size so this one was hard um for a lot of people to um to put out their opinion on because when you're talking about something for like class size we know that there's a pushpull between what's realistic and um where
181they see a difference in what benefits students and so for some of them they just said you know please as small as possible we're struggling a little bit here can we please make them smaller um most of them have a number associated with it which you can see on there and then the incompletes um this one was a hard one too and probably more information can come out on that one part of that is knowing what happens with the incomplet so you just saw an example from delor where they had a very strong concerted effort to address their incompletes and we'll obviously see more as this progresses in terms of how effective this was since math is a leveled um subject but you know for for a number of the teachers it was like in
182as departments well okay but are we definitely having summer school do we definitely have a way to address these in the spring and when we have these incompletes in the fall and they roll over um are we getting the same quality of of work from the students that we would get if they were actually in class there were a lot of questions around that and again those questions weren't asked directly so it's hard to know like overarching where everybody is on that but they were able to go through and say at least what their their aim policy is currently with knowing that there's all these other factors that come into play in terms of what makes an incomplete adequately addressed um and and knowing whether or not that's going to happen and um I I
183think that's the the big pieces do you have any questions for me and and feel free to send me a message too like okay well I looked at this now and now I'm wondering this because there are a lot of things to to wonder about on this as well but as I said I think you can see pretty clear patterns that are happening at least across the small schools kfax pler and Delaware I think will know a little bit more being nice to get those last three in a little bit more solid um but then we'll be able to look at that one too do you have a projected timeline to hear back or to to fill in the gaps you were talking about with some feedback on well as I said like there was
184a difference so plaster we were missing two okay on Saturday we sent you the information and today we heard back from both of them okay so it just kind of depends on what's going on with the Department chairs it's just how Barry did it get in their email and they're getting reminders but yeah you know everybody's busy yeah for sure so probably by the end of the week but I I'm just not positive okay great yeah no thank you for Gathering um some more data for us to to digest and I'm sure it'll be helpful with the CBE committee as well yeah Okay aw thank you thank you so much all right we're going to move to item eight our consent agenda items 8.1 is the approval of the consent agenda item do we have
185any changes to the consent agenda I have 2 8.2 and 8.3 will move to action it will be brief I promise you that all right uh do I have a motion with those changes approval minus 8.2 and 88.3 I I second okay perfect so we have a first do we have a second we have a motion do we have a second okay so we have um a first by trusty Underwood a second by trusty Jeff to um approve the consent agenda items with moving 8.2 and 8.3 to action um starting with the student board all in favor say I I I board I all oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously 8.2 draft minutes for the special meeting um let me pull up my notes real quick [Music] here I just wanted to note um on
186February 18th meeting minutes there a couple things on page three there was um a report out from closed um for the first items but from item 3.3.1 and Beyond I reported those items out and so I made a suggestion to to clarify that and then also on 3.3.1 there was a grammatical error um we just needed to add in to foll and that's all is there any other feedback on 8.2 need a motion yes we do motion to approve we have a first do we have a second all second we have a first by trusty lake and a second by trusty Jeff to approve item 8.2 With The Changes uh we will start with the student board all in favor say I I all board I I all oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously we're
187going to move to item 8 .3 District issued warrants um and I am going to try to locate real fast here there was on the 31225 district issued warrant item 85 9928 A6 uh there was a PSD Education Foundation transfer or a check of 21752 34 um I I just want to acknowledge before you answer this question I'm not sure if it's Peter or Sue going to come up to explain this but I just wanted to thank you I asked you guys a lot of questions on a lot of things and you were comprehensive and you created documents to share so that it I made it really clear which categories these were coming from and and all of the questions that I had asked so I I do appreciate that but I did want a
188clarification on exactly why we are um sending 21 plus ,000 into the Education Foundation so if we could explain that Madam president the person who wrote the check wrote it out to the district instead of the foundation so we cash the check and then we move it to fund 19 I do believe is the scholarship fund okay perfect do we have any other questions on District issued warrants hearing none do we have a motion for item 8.3 I'll move to approve 8.3 you have a first second and a second we have a first by trusty Jeff and a second by by trusty Lake for item 8.3 do we have any discussion or further questions starting with the student board all in favor say I I board I I I all oppose hearing none motion passes
189unanimously let's go ahead and move to item nine 9.1 certificated Personnel report number 82 2425 take it away Elena yes madame president as you see um we continue to um need some long-term subs for some of our leaves we also have um our dual enrollment teachers for the spring that are receiving their um stiens for the additional um commitment to teaching dual enrollment we do have some resignations we always want to thank those individuals for their service to our district and appreciate them for taking care of our students so on the behalf of the Acting Superintendent I would recommend the approval of the CER certificated Personnel order do I have a motion I move approval I'll second we have a first by trusty Underwood and a second by trusty Jeff to approve item 9.1 certificated
190Personnel report number 8 2425 any questions hearing none starting with the student board all in favor say I I board I I all oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously item 9.2 classified Personnel report number 8242 yes Madam president as you can see we have the spring sports are up and running um there are a number of individuals that are um being hired to support our students we also have those long those ongoing volunteers that are constantly working with our students and helping our Us in activities and in athletics so we really want to thank them for the work and their dedication to support our students um our student tutors are on there and uh we do of course have a resignation that we again wants to want to thank for his service to our district
191and appreciate the care he has provided um on the behalf of the Acting Superintendent I would recommend the approval of the classified Personnel rep order do I have a motion I move approval second we have a first by trusty Underwood and a second by trusty Lake to approve action item 9.2 classified personel report do we have any comments questions I have one quick comment um and which I directed to um Elena but we are approving a coach that was for The Fall season and the spring season not ideal um if at all and when possible and this doesn't happen very often but we are approving um an a head coach that is post season so um I know it's not normal so just an effort and I know you guys athletic directors are doing a
192really phenomenal job and I'm so grateful but if we could try to get those coaches at the top of the Season rather than then after the season's over I would greatly appreciate that hearing no other we'll go ahead and start with our student board members all in favor say I board I I I'll oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously 9.3 te teacher permanency Grant request 2025 yes Madam president this is an exciting time I think for our teachers or certificated staff that are being um looked at for permanency there were letters attached that were written by our um administrators their supervisors in the recommendation um for these permanent permanency recommendations and um I would recommend on the behalf of the Acting Superintendent that these are uh granted do I have a motion approve second we
193have a motion by trusty Jeff and a second by trusty Lake to approve item 9 .3 and um do we have any questions or feedback I just want to say as a board member this is one of my favorite items ever of the year I love to read the letters about how great our staff is and that they're granting permanency with our district and so it's just a pleasure there's not a lot of enjoyable reads we're digging through numbers and reviewing contracts but this is a fun one so I appreciate that all right uh starting with the student board all in favor say I I board I I I all oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously item 9.4 resolution number 16 2425 material revision of the Mau virtual Charter Academy which we spoke to earlier
194just as a reminder to the board is do we have a presentation or some kind of feedback all right just as a reminder to the board all resolutions are by a roll call vote which uh Acting Superintendent Steve k will call out okay we going to do roll call vote for item Action Four resolution number 16 2425 material revision of Mighty virtual Charter Academy charter we still need to do a first and a second prior to the roll call believe so do I have a motion motion to approve I'll second we have a motion by trusty Lake second by trusty Jeff to pass the resolution um item 9 .4 and we will have a roll call vote at this time uh trusty Underwood I uh president Spade I trusty Jeff yes trusty Lake hi student
195board student board hi motion passes motion passes all right item 9.5 an excellent job in that roll call thank you Dr cametti 9.5 PSD School site safety plans 2024 2025 yes Madam president what you have attached here are the safety plans that were completed by the safety coordinators of each School site it's a compilation effort of working with their site teams the district team uh getting approval from those who need approval from their uh site Council uh teams and so forth um having meetings on the school sites uh finalizing with a group you if you can see on some of those pages it's a their safety team is comprised of some staff members parents students I think the student board members are on there correct and then and also law enforcement um I do want
196to point out that I made three of four of the presentations that the safety coordinators put at their sites they were great um I really appreciated the work they put into it making sure parents were notified of the safety presentation so they can be aware of our our big ticket items Alice training our response to a threat on campus things like that um the one thing I did want to point out is we also did coordinate with pler County Sheriff's Office to do some safety nights at kfax and deloro um fortunately at kfax only one parent showed up and D only seven and so hopefully if we put the word out um perhaps we can get more of that Community who want to provide us comments about safety plans maybe actually come to one of
197those safety things that's just Mysteries maybe kind of comment on that but we do a lot to probably put that out there um besides um maybe you know getting it to them at their doorstep but uh part of our work that the safety team does a lot of is that communication out there and we were a little frustrated that we didn't get a lot of that input from people coming to those safety nights yeah we had plenty of plastic share people there to answer any questions that especially since we had some events that happened in the past year and so forth yeah so no big deal we will keep doing it um we really honor the relationship we have with the sheriff's department it's a great tool for us um we got some really good
198safety coordinators I really appreciate that and I think they value the consistency that's shared among the schools so on behalf of the superintendent we recommend approval I move approval second we have a first by trusty Underwood and a second by trusty Lake to approve item 9.5 PSD School site safety plans 2024 2025 I just want to thank um everyone involved that's a lot of work and there's a lot I mean the lists are long of the participants um I share your sentiment I would love for the community to be more involved in that and I'm not sure maybe we need to strategize on that one um I always say you be careful what you wish for too because all but no it's you know these These are ongoing documents as people know um it's it's
199a we don't change it throughout the year it's almost like a snapshot in time I think what I really want to notice is that our safety teams acclimate to what happens on campus they're not going to sit there and go oh wait let me go look at the book to see what we're supposed to do right now I think the book is more of a a guide we're we're expected to to react based off our trainings when things come up and it may not always be the the same kind of thing so I appreciate the work they've been putting into that and thank you for tending three of the four meetings Peter Kudos all right any other uh questions comments all right hearing none we're going to go ahead and start with the student board
200all in favor say I I I board I I all oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously item 9.6 consider the 2024 2025 second interim budget report and accompanying certification welcome thank you tonight and board members student board members um tonight I'm here to pre present the uh 2425 second interim report for the district on the first page we have our general fund revenues as you can see uh to dat we're projecting to bring in about 63.1 million of that 50 million 50.4 is from the lcff calculation we also have federal revenue of 1.5 other state 6.1 and some local funds of 5.1 then we have our expenditures um about 60 about $70 million um we have our certificated salaries at 27.8 um are classified at 9.6 we have our um benefits at 15.7 um as
201you can see also the ratio of unrestricted salaries and benefits to Total unrestricted expenditures is about 81.3% so we're in line for what most districts in California have we also have our books and supplies at 3.2 our services and operating expenses at 11 million um our tuition billback indirect costs of 1.5 um that relates mostly to our Sela special education uh we're part of the S with pccoe and then our Capital purchases improvements about $876,000 we have some other financing sources and uses uh with the district we have our funds 17 which is kind of like our savings account what we have in there is about 96 uh we transferred in 96,000 for our Tech and dment we're expecting to transfer in about 224,000 for the stir Pur stabilization trust which is mainly uh accounts
202for the percentage differences that increase for it's right now it's just perss but it could be stirs um and then we also um are able to take an Administration cost out of fund 25 we can transfer into the general fund of about 41,000 um we also transfer out um to Mau um 32,000 um it's for Title One however after this year um they should be direct funded by Title One when we'll know more of that once the um con app comes in we filed for that this year so they can be directly funded for title one and then on next page is our components of our ending general fund balance as you can see we started with about 11.5 there you see our revenues and our expend es um we are showing a deficit of
203about 6.8 million um and then we have some transfers in so our net uh increase decrease in fund is we're decreasing at about 6.5 million so that leaves our ending balance at 5 million now um of that the restricted funds are about 2.3 million and our reserved for economic uncertainties which is at 3% is about 2 million leaving us about $605,000 left after this year on the next page I'll go over um ma do um they have some revenues coming in about 1.6 and expenditures going out of about 1.8 um they do have a fund balance um that is carried over and they should have a little bit um again this year um but we're working with them they're going to be doing some work in the summer um on the building at at Plaster
204to really upgrade that and get that and then on the next page we have our other fund ending balances our Student Activity fund right now about 1 million um that goes up and down all year we won't really know what that is uh we've been we've been working with the ASB uh to really help spend down because it is for the students for that year um adult education fund 11 uh we're projecting about 543,000 our Child Nutrition ending with about $1 million which is great she does a great job with that our deferred maintenance fund fund 14 we're projecting about 257,000 but we think that'll all be spent by the end of the year we have some other things planned that we hopefully will get done this year if not definitely in the summer then
205again here's our Special Reserve fund we have in there for the tech endowment about 3.5 million um we have our state uncertainty Reserve that's basically for econ you know economic disadvantage I'm sorry for our budget deficit of about 1.3 and then our perer stabilization about 689 th000 left in that let me go into the building funds um deloro that'll be spent um we had talked about this last time that'll be done this June right now that ending balance right now is just the interest in there everything else is projected to be spent if not more so um and then plaster High we're we're definitely doing some work there um we're projecting an ending balance about 1.4 I think we're right Peter we're hoping to spend that in the next year yep mhm and you have
206some other funds too we have our Education Foundation which has a great balance of 3.4 million and we were able to give scholarships um a little bit more than we were last year which is great that means the the they are earning more so then so we're still having that big balance in there for them our fund 25 again about 227,000 left over again Peter will talk about what's being spent out of there in his facility uh presentation on our fund 40 we have about 11.4 million and then our retiree benefit fund about 5 162,000 and that fund is to pay for the ongoing benefits for our retirees then we get to our multi-year projections which is always the fun part so our current year as you can see um you can see our changes
207these are our assumptions that were used uh project of enrollment projections of the cola of how we calculate our Revenue um as you can see our local control fund funding formula it it goes down next year a little bit um and that's mainly due to our we have a lot of factors we have declining enrollment we have a cola we have property taxes you have your unduplicated pupil account so and also um it's that's all the factors that play into the calculation and that's what it calculates out to be it then goes up um in year 26 27 and again that's cuz the coal it kind of jumped up and I think that's a big part of it there's our projected enrollment our per Ada um and our number of student to teacher ratio um
208we're slowly getting to the 37.5 to1 then we have our fund transfer in for the pur sters and then from here because of our which I'll show in the next slide our transfer for fund 17 because we're deficit spending we're going to have to start borrowing or not borrowing uh using our savings account so we're projecting about 1.8 million next year to have to pull from fund 17 and the next year 1.3 million um don't know if the governor is going to be able to provide any more money for us but it's usually categorical so it's usually restricted so on the next slide here's where you'll see the deficit spending the 6.5 um but we go down 1.1 and that jump down to that is because all our one-time funds from the covid and the
209special categoricals he gave us should be all spent this year it's no more it's not ongoing um so then you can see our ending fund balance um how it's going down and then you see below the components of the fund balance and you can see in order to meet our economic uncertainties we have to pull in from our fund 17 and then those balances at at the end um you know 120,000 next year and 370,000 the following year so on the next slide this is our uh deficit spending concerns um you know we we have to prepare for and maintain fiscal solvency so we always have to project out current year as well as the next two years um the subsequent years is showing an ongoing deficit spending pattern and the and the spend spending
210of the district's reserve of 3.1 to offset these deficits um The District's budget uh stabilization plan we've been in discussion with um includes freezing of identified positions couple departments in other words when a position goes vacant we have to really discuss does it really need to be filled can it wait just put it on hold for now um we're also to establish ongoing budget planning and actions based on the current state budget um we're using non-personnel cost reductions um for instance we have made a reduction in supplies of 25% for next year and that and 50% for travel and Conference that's mostly in departments the sites will still maintain um what we did this year was the 85% allocation it'll be the same next year we're not making any further cuts on that site piece
211because we felt 15 was nice we've also the anticipated loss is due to obviously our student enrollment the expected Rising ongoing cost of utilities which has soared dramatically and Health Care is gone up about is going to expected to go up about six and a half to 8% in the next two years um compared to our Cola so when you have a cola and you have cost Rising more than the cola it's hard to keep up so we're looking at reestablishing the budget Advisory Group for the 2526 fisal year which will allow us to thoughtfully plan how to address these budget reductions and and work with the board and allow you guys to make decisions on how you want to move forward with those reductions So based on the second interim report when is that
212going to happen the uh The Advisory Board we'll set it up for next year probably August the yeah so it's it it's been well it was in place a year ago and then it went away as we been going through some stuff but it'll it'll come back in the fall it consists of mostly some staff members at the school sites and so forth the district office and just talking about things one of the ideas that came out of is an example and sharing information um people were thinking about how can we make money and I kind of chuckled because we make money by our students coming in but the idea was thoughtful because technically speaking every percentage point we go up for our Ada is a half million dollars of more money so one of
213the pushes if you noce like in Friday facts Trent and his team has been doing is really encouraging schools because we came out of Co we were like at 92 93 we used to be at 96 and we're about at 9 four right now so you go up 9596 that's almost you know a million dollar jump just in in revenues now we don't see it right away because the formul for Ada is what's the lag is of a couple years like a two-year lag but you want to maintain that because it still get you there and right now how they're doing the state is allowing us to do the Ada because of the declining enrollment for all the school districts there's three types you can use your current it's the greater of it's your current
214Ada your PRI year Ada or they do a threeyear average Ada right now we're on the three-year average Ada which is really benefiting us if we were on our current year Ada even worse it would be even worse correct so the state created past that to allow school districts to fight that but we don't want to talk about any moves until next year as far as yeah the advisory committee yeah the advisory committe Comm would be starting in the fall because everything we're doing right now are things that you don't to worry about negotiating some of the items that we don't really want to talk about tonight would be those items that would be coming to the board with or in working with our our our groups let's Market might do right we are doing
215great article of the paper that can you repeat that if for what increase in total uh one percentage point for 8 is about a half million dollars yep so how do you what ises that equal in student ATT in student uh enrollment one percentage point of ADA well it's not necessarily enrollment it's the kids coming to school we need them in the seat attendance attendance yeah that's right our our comment is we just need you one period a day but it it doesn't sound that positive say because they think they can leave afterwards and we need them at the beginning of the day really um yeah we had a board meeting we were talking about that knowing that our budget you know was going to be there was going to be a tightening of the
216belt and that was a conversation that the board had about wanting to focus efforts and they're like we're already talking about attendance when I was like perfect because that's an easy easy grab if we can try to get our kids to school that really significantly increases our budget obviously watching this it's a little bit we're keeping it real it this is a little bit rough um I'm glad that we're reestablishing the budget committee who is selecting who is participating is this a volunteer how are you guys putting the budget committee together so it's been a while but the last time we did it we kind of reached out to the school sit for principles to reach out to people and tap them on the shoulder um we didn't just put out a blanket email uh
217the idea is look at representation from all the school sites classified certificated um to really dig into we had people from Confluence things like that to really look and get a broad scope and their ideas of it because what you may feel is an impact over here that other person is doesn't impact me you know well so then how do we how do we discuss those things and that's where some of the ideas about how can we make money yeah conserving energy we had people literally saying hey in my classroom I only turn on you know I have three light switches I only turn on one so I'm technically saving money by not you know it was those kinds of things and so just you know we we talked about doing a proposed dark week
218that really didn't go anywhere um because of the restrictions whatever you modifications are trying to close everything because the true dark week means literally closing everything and one of the big push backs was our facility rental people not wanting to be able to use the pool and stuff yeah so not a huge would maybe $50 to 75,000 but like I told people that's that's a classified position in some cases so you know it's just looking at things because the the bigger things would be actual Personnel eventually I think we're ready for that regarding um energy have we ever had PG come out and do an efficiency test and what you know have they given recommendations to decrease our we did a lot with prop 39 when it came out a while ago we put in
219the LED lights things like that so we've had things like that done but we haven't done it in a while the issue isn't really I mean the efficiency we get through a trained because we have that energy management system um but it's not well I'm not gonna say it's not efficiency you know we have old buildings and so forth but when the costs go through the roof no matter what your chargers were you know we could be using the same engine we have been for the last three years but it costs three times as much I'm sure everyone's seen their PG oh this is the worst it's the P new to this but I have a question about calculating the Ada is it for the virtual classes how do they determine is it butts in
220the chair or what you mean for like Mau for example Mau or if you're any other sort of uh online class how did that how is uh it only pertain to ma do and I don't know exactly I'm not the professional the the independent study is a different model of attendance collection altogether it's based off work completed not seat time their own little so their own little piece we don't not included in ours the the uh async is not included in our attendance mix uh because the students have to meet minimum 240 minutes so we make sure that they're in those 240 minutes to get the full Ada I had a question um so it looks like from the original slide that about 2% of our budget is federally funded does that funding come directly
221to the school district does that filter through the state filters through the state most of it's title one special education dollars that's the most of it what we received from federal dollars funding changes at the federal level um because of you know like you know the potential disillusion of the US Department of Education like how do you anticipate how that might impact us or impact special education which contribution to yeah especially cler High School Confluence for yeah I think we're all we're all tracking the things right now and how that may may impact us and yeah 1.5 million dollar coming you know while that's not a not a small drop in our bucket we don't have gigantic budget and so every dollar obviously matters um so we're tracking that and we want to make sure
222that we're we're doing dotting our eyes and Crossing RT so that we're not losing funding I did hear from Congressman Kylie today I was at a summit in downtown Sacramento and and a similar question was asked and there he said and he confirmed that uh president Trump had mentioned that um in regards to um the the education department that um that they would prefer sending it to the county and bypassing the state so that it's getting closer to uh the source um and I don't I I mean we can all read into why um but we do live in California so um that not wanting to penalize um you know districts and and and to make that more of a straight streamline um of funding uh to the county rather than through the state and
223then the state dispersing it to the to uh the counties and so we'll see you know time tells all things yeah and Peter and I will be going to the May Revis so that'll be interesting I mean it's on the table that the governor is trying to give us um a little bit more categorical funds but it's still just a Band-Aid for most districts just to kind of carry it out you know kicking the can down the road but we shall see yeah what he does so um but in closing we are meeting our financial obligations for the current subsequent two fiscal years so I am recommending the board certify this as a positive second interim budget report and I probably will be back in June to do the budget for next year after May
224Revis all righty I move approval I second we have a first and a second for item 9.6 and it looks like we've got a resolution for the budget reflect those changes after so um do we have any further questions all righty hearing none starting with the student board all in favor say I I I board I I all oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously item 9.7 resolution number 15 2425 amending the 202 2425 budget to reflect changes in revenue and expenditures yeah this report details the budget changes we made from first interim uh so it details it pretty well and we like to provide this um to help clarify um anything you may have but as you know you're welcome to send an email to myself and as president Spade pointed out I don't have
225a problem answering it like to get back to you as soon as possible I appreciate that so much well do we have a motion to approve I second we have a first by trusty Jeff and a second by trusty Underwood to pass our resolution number 15425 amending our 2425 budget to reflect the changes in revenue and expend atur this is a resolution and will be a roll call vote starting with our student board and Dr cetti student board hi hi trusty Underwood hi trusty Spade hi trusty Jeff hi trusty Lake hi motion passes thank you thank you thank you all right 9.8 we're getting there folks Valley Precision Grading proposal instant installation of the Synthetic Turf field at kfax High School stadium yes yes so M president you know this has been something I've been
226discussing for several months um the board approved this expenditure of or allocating uh 2.2 million to this well over about a year ago um from as you knows the find the the funding is from developer fees um we've been working with vpj they are the group that installed the turf at Plaster and deloro um and we're then going with a group called Tena that was after um several visits and conversations meting the staff with kofax visiting a couple schools in the valley um this new field does not come with any kind of infil it's a new thicker kind of turf that does not require any of those little Pebbles and beads that are in there and so forth and so they're also going to be taking care of the track some areas might need to
227be replace but most of these tracks the under lame is pretty in still good condition so it's not a new track but it's a resurfacing so the surface is new but when we say new we're not digging up all the dirt and putting all new concrete in all kind of stuff so with that being said um you see the quotee in front of you and then asking for some money for some contingency because there are some a few other things that we're going to want to do around that Stadium itself that going to have some gring issues and things like that um to keep the water away from the tra they're going to put new um I call it a gutter system but new not filtering but um drainage thank you Elena that goes around
228the track and so they'll be starting literally the day after graduation um if things go as they were at pler and delo they will be done before school starts um one caveat at PL delor they weren't putting in a new track or resurfacing the track so um but the person we've worked with before comes of very good reputation um Kip Olson has been doing this for his company has been doing this for a very long time um but I I know I'm pretty excited um I'm pretty sure the girl soccer team at kfax is pretty excited um hasn't been raining that much this past winter when they were playing on the turf but uh so with that you recommend approval Peter a couple questions for on this I mean this is exciting to get this
229conversion I I'm really uh pleased for the community and for the kids but I'm curious 2.2 million how does that compare to what the field cost at pler when they put it put that in so this one I asked for 2.2 um when I first asked for the board you notice this bid's only 1.9 so I went for 2.2 because I know the cace is still going to work around the stadium not just like lights they need some Stadium lights fixed where their runways are for the pole vault and high jump and triple jump need a little bit of work there's some landscaping retaining wall items that need to be fixed over there items that I spoke about with the staff over there they have an old shed that for storage it just just things
230that if we're going to you know I hate to build a brand new track and field and then on the outskirts it still looks not great and so that's why the number was higher but 1.9 deloro was about 1 .5 something plas was almost 1.6 but that didn't include a track and tracks run anywhere from two to 300 is it the same company that put it's the same company who installed yeah because they did a great job anybody I've speaking to I always challenge them it's not the it's not the the the product it's the install of the product right and is a life expectancy of a field like this is 10 to 15 10 to 15 years okay comes with a warranty I believe of 10 years I forget what they said in there
231but as an example um pler they have some warranty work that have to come up they actually found um some recall notices on some fields that were like ours we're doing this in the spring I'm already working with Mike savs they come in they have to do some regoing with a special machine but it's all covered by the warranty because there's a 10year warranty on those fields W and we're coming up on 19 so six years on those fields if you can believe that yeah it's amazing will I move approval I'm excited about that question uh what was the contingency amount Peter um I not put it in there 2.1 15% so brings it up to 2.1 the um but it's not included in the quote you talked no the quote is only 1.8 I
232attach the contingency gotcha the um just pretty standard for for most of our projects we drainage what is a big issue over there at kfax well the drainage around the field is great they because this has already been scoped by an engineer and all that kind of stuff and so what you see when they give us a final quote is them doing all that engineering work the drainage is outside of the part of the stadium like this is not we're not doing anything with the drainage at the soccer area on that upper field we're not dealing with that one right now there's no flooding that's currently happening no they have some drainage issues and J can help me out here there's some drainages off the softball field area then we're going to be taking care
233of some of that because we want to keep it off the new runways that we're putting in for the um high jump and triple jump or not high jump long jump triple jump area but we're not doing anything with the drainage over that's a much bigger project not anticipa any new irrigation or anything like no no well we have a first aw we have a first by trusty Underwood a second by trusty jeffes any other questions or comments I just want to acknowledge the fund that it's coming from because I think as a community member it gets confusing when we've got issues with roofs and Telecom systems which I view as safety issues um fund 25 is a restricted fund and it can only be used for new uh velopment can you explain that just
234because I think sometimes as a as a community lay person who doesn't understand categorical funding they're going well why are they spending that on this yeah so as an example versus fixing the classroom and the you know the developer fees are about the um whether new or just the the extended use of what's going on like right now kofax is not really growing but the use of that field has grown tremendously by the community and by the school itself we didn't have flag football we didn't have soccer in the winter okay those items right so we're allowed to use that money the parking lots and so forth that's because of of use but if I want to replace a roof that's maintenance so I can't use this fund for that if I'm putting in a
235new building and I want to do air conditioning that's great but if I'm just replacing air condition that's already been there before can't use that money so there's that fine line there yes it's brutal it's brutal it's ugly I wish our legislature understood the strings that they tie and um and hold our our hands back from being able to do some of the things that we need Meanwhile we're going to do some fun things which I'm stoked about but I wanted you to know that we're not looking the other way with the issues when we're doing something fun but with that on that we have a first and a second on the motion question Peter I'm curious once this is approved which we're going to do what's the timeline on this when should this be
236completed oh before school starts in August okay so it's the summer project a summer project correct got you all righty starting with our student board all in favor say I I board I I I'll oppose hearing none motion passes congratulations kfax it's going to be a beautiful field all right item 9.9 agreement for purchase and sale um of real property with bless and share foundation for the sale of surplus property known as 49 land it must be getting close to nope not even close I'm already Tongue Tied this is not a good sign so Madam president um I'm not going to read through the whole thing obviously um we've shared information um with the board in close session and through information this has been a compilation of our attorneys working with them um but we
237did get to what we finally wanted to which was um essentially the sales price as you see on there um a 180 day escro if you want to call it no extensions off of that um there's a $25,000 Deposit they have to put in that if they decide to bail out we keep the 25 um if they finished the deal it's part of the 1.38 um they're buying the land as is there will be some closing costs like anything that will have to O but we're not paying any brokerage fees or that kind of stuff um some of the next steps once this approved is I'll have to get a hold of the person who's been grazing the land and let him know because they were doing a month to month um that someone's buying
238the property and they'll have time to make sure their cattle are off of there um from my understanding the person who's looking to buy is still doing some Lake work to figure out what he can build on the property and so forth so um feeling Pro you know positive about the whole thing it's been um well over a year in coming after you you were involved before you know last January we started with the whole process of surplus and trying to sell and these people reached out um you know it's it's interesting I I I was joking a few people that I think if if we knew then what we knew now about that line we probably wouldn't paid as much but again I can't speak for something back in 94 it was a lot
239different people were expecting growth up to 49 um I don't I've not spoken to someone who thinks there's going to be growth up to 49 on the way to Grass Valley right now that doesn't seem to be what's in people's mindsets so that being said we you know with where we're going we don't need that property um someone asked a while ago about making it a a science center I go as soon as you put people on there I'm going to need parking access bathrooms Ada oh you need all that yeah you just can't go show up there yeah so thank you Peter for doing your work on this I have a question Peter so this uh 1.1 million um what fund is that if assuming this passes what fund is that going to go
240into yeah that'll go into the fund 40 Capital outlay project so it'll be part of my when I talk about my presentation this will go to help do stuff like when do fund 40 that can go into buildings roofs that kind of thing yeah unlike 25 yeah which is great all right do I have a motion approve I second we have a first by trusty Jeff and a second by trusty Underwood to approve item 9.9 agreement for purchase and sale of real property with blessing share foundation for the sale of surplus property known as 49 land any other questions or comments hearing none starting with the student board all in favor say I I I board I all oppose hearing none motion passes unanimously all right item 10 staff reports we made it you guys
24110.1 we've talked a lot about math tonight I'm excited to talk about it more it is a focus so we appreciate you welcome Trent thanks again for giving me this opportunity to discuss uh math update with you guys as you heard from uh principal zerwas and his crew um math is been something that has been on our minds and focus and trying to solve and so it is something that is uh a complex problem I think and something that we are continued to try to find the right mix of answers because I think that's what you really need is a mix of answers um go ahead and uh click so I I want to give some context to math um and then talk talk through some data and then talk about what uh what we're
242currently doing to address some of these uh as as you probably know student achievement in math is uh a topic nearly every scho every school in California and certainly America uh math seems to be an area where we struggle especially compared to our reading and writing scores uh I don't know of a of a high school in California when you look at their cast scores that their math is not lower than their their reading and writing scores and similarly if you look at math scores for students such as your students with disabilities and so socioeconomic disadvantage you'll see huge gaps much bigger gaps especially in math so it's something that I it's not unque to us uh but it is it is an issue um math is also uh a major gatekeeper to the adg
243uh is going to be what uh will typically prevent a student from meeting that uh ability to go to college straight out of high school there are some other um subject areas that that do that but math if you were to look and and calculate the data math is typically that one um our efforts in the past uh to address our issue have included number number of things one of them is remedial math courses and just want to talk a little bit about that because we don't offer them anymore at any of our sites for our general ed students we do offer them from time to time for our specialed students depending on need and and what what uh uh Dr W and her team determin uh but we used to have things like pre-integrated
244math A and B math lab and those types of things and one of the challenges uh in in our system especially in a 4x4 is it creates a very difficult schedule tracking issues can happen and so those students kind of get bound into the same schedule uh throughout the whole time um the outcomes really when you look back at the data we're not all of all that much better in terms of those kids being successful long term in the math courses um and and on top of that students who had started in remedial math rarely made it all the way through I mean rarely I I when I ran the uh data for Del Oro a long time ago uh we we found maybe one or two students who had started in like in a
245pre-integrated class make it all the way through integrated three so that was one thing that we tried had limited success um or very little success it was hard to identify which success was there and um it also created some issues so if a kid wanted to take some other course and they were in the pre-integrated course if it was on the other side of a you know it happened to fall in that same um schedule spot as that that uh pre-integrated or remedial math class it just kind of forced them not to be able to have that option uh and so and so those were some of the the reasons that that we went into that and I'll talk a little bit about that uh again here in a sec um we've tried dual teaching
246models and I think they're still out there uh at at a number of sites but we had really began that maybe 10 years ago I think uh 10 11 years ago uh where almost every site had a math dual teaching model where a special ed uh teacher was involved in the math class uh at the same time with a class that was designed to have a lot of special ed students in those um again success at various levels it really depends on the two teachers and their ability to work with we had some real magic with um uh some some groupings of that um Matt rickball and Keith Powers were a great combo uh for for Del Oro I I recall back in the day um excuse me we also uh decided to change grad
247requirements or the board did uh back in 2019 is I want to say it was um and uh the the idea behind that was we used to have a two-year grad graduation requirement uh and just to just to kind of give you an idea uh students could come to uh one of our schools take a remedial math class remedial math class right pass that then take integrated one pass that at at whatever like uh you know maybe the next year whenever and then not take another math class the rest of their time at our schools and uh when we're looking at the data and understanding what leads to better success and outcomes for students we noticed that students going further in math in high school uh was really high um indicator of students succeeding out
248in life so that was one of the reasons why we wanted to increase the amount of math the students were actually receiving and not just any math but just try to push them as far as they can go uh in those math classes at the same time that we were doing that junior colleges and colleges were eliminating their remedial math classes so if a if a kid didn't get their math in high school and then they decided to go to Junior College they might be at a real disadvantage so we just really wanted to make sure that the things that we control such as a schedule uh would be things that encourage and push kids to to reach their highest level um then we also got into textbook adoptions and making sure that our text
249um and what the teachers had access to uh would help and assist uh our our teachers in that along with Alex last year last couple couple years U both uh president spade and and uh Mr Underwood have sat through a number of long presentations about our math adoption it was probably one of the longer math adoption processes we've ever been through um Jamie and uh Michelle did a great job of sort of um marshalling that all the way through and and getting to completion and so that was a great work there and and I think we are starting to see some success with Alex and people are starting to um Embrace some of those aspects more and then finally you know one of the big roles and I also talked about this uh when we
250discussed uh CBE before you know we went away from it is that um it was very it was a way to strategically help our students to remediate and provide intervention to them by telling them exactly where they're at and exactly what they know and don't know and that was all behind that the whole point of cve was being able to do that and to be able to remediate and and intervene in a much more strategic and targeted Manner and so that was some of the things that we attempted and as you saw with uh Nick's presentation did a fabulous job go ahead and get to the next slide so these are our cast mcores our latest ones um and I shared with um president spade and I can share with you guys some Trend data
251too that goes we have it all the way back for a long time that is like an single page kind of document and share with you as well but um this is where we're at compared to uh some like districts or local districts Roseville joint Western pler uh El Dorado which is probably the most like us uh Roseville Union and uh then obviously the state you'll notice that uh uh Rockland uh is pretty high and number of reasons uh that we speculate um I talked to my wife last night who was a a Rockin uh teacher and we kind of uh and and a sped teacher too uh so we were kind of talking about some of those and I've also have some friends in that District who have mentioned some things but one of
252the things that I thought was what uh trusty jeffre pointed out uh was that uh uh you know students come to our schools in all sorts of different places and sometimes it's it's it's less but what uh being a unified school district Rockin has the ability to craft very vertically aligned well aligned system that goes from elementary to Junior High to to the uh to the school and it's all similar right it's all the same whereas you know Delo is getting uh kids from different districts plaster is getting kids from different kofax same thing so um that's one two uh we'll talk a little bit about as well is their 4x8 system probably one of the biggest challenges in our system of the 4x4 is the speed at which the class goes especially for students
253who struggle so you're talking you know hey you got to get this class you got to be mastered and competent in 18 weeks versus 36 weeks at a place like like uh uh Rockland the downside to the 4x8 is that or or I guess what would be the positive is uh there's a lot of students who can go and take a lot of math classes all of the math classes because of the 4x4 because they can take a math class every term essentially and work their way up so you kind of have to balance you know some of those some of those choices but uh the 4x4 4x4 versus the 4x8 is probably a big big factor uh into some of that because in Rockland's scheduling if they have what they call math every day
254so even though they're having different classes every day um they have a math class every day so they'll be an integrated one one day yeah all year and the next day they're in math support class in that same period and they have that for the full 36 weeks um which would probably uh be helpful for for some of those students who struggle excuse me um go ahead and click to the next slide so you can see this is uh uh again Cas scores with um students with disabilities and students um e uh socioeconomic disadvantaged students and again we're pretty close to all of the other schools except Rockin and for those reasons I mentioned I think are probably um the biggest factors into into that uh when you look at it over time um it's
255pretty consistent I would say to those numbers uh sometimes you know in socioeconomic disadvantage can swing quite a bit because uh especially in earlier years but it socioeconomic disadvantage is based off of a self-reporting process so some years you get a lot of kids some kids some years you don't get as many and so you can get some swings because of that uh that part go ahead and click to the next slide and then I just threw in just some some data about uh where the grades are at comparative to the other uh some of the other core science uh the other course content areas uh math has has always been um the highest in terms of uh the amount of D's and Fs and uh that's because it's a hard subject um and uh
256and I just put that up there just kind of as a as an illustrat of that fact is that that is one of the more challenging uh classes to get students through um I think our our principles look at this data every term and they're looking at at that and and again it's a problem I I don't think is easily solved but we're working to try to figure figure that out and we'll talk a little bit about that go ahead and and these are just based off um different uh the different three uh uh requ ired or ad to G courses in in math so um you can go ahead and click through them I don't know if you have any questions I was just giving you some data on those um that's I am
257one go ahead and click the IM am two and then click the im3 typically I3 obviously would be a little less because you're you know those kids are making it all the way through typically have uh um little they're just making it through so um that's why they're a little bit lower a question yes sir go back yeah in im3 yeah in 2025 that would probably be uh the CBE and some and some different grading components there I would assume little challenging more challenging to get the to get the A out of those classes um and this is an interesting uh graph because it shows the percentage of our seniors in integrated math 3 and those who have passed now again this number will change because we've added uh we still have seniors in integrated
2583 right now or at uh I I don't think kfax has one right now but they did in the first term at pler and kfax they included data science unfortunately its ability to count as an a tog third year a tog math class I believe is going away at least that's what everybody's been saying so those numbers for plaster and kfax might shrink down a little bit if that if that option is not available but I was running some data also uh just from prior years and all of those schools have increased about 5 to 6% of kids at least attempting um integrated math 3 by the end of uh their their years in school so I think that's a good thing consequently um those numbers are all all really I thought um pretty impressive
259that we're getting close to 3ars of all of our seniors uh into uh passing I integrated math 3 and I think you'll start to see uh those a tog rates hopefully meeting that level as well Trent any any uh thoughts on why kofax is doing exceptionally well much better I look at the graph 88 and then I'm looking at the our other schools are lower but kofax is sign to me yeah that's much higher what what are they doing there that explains that Dr rbuk Bonia um no that's all right um you know I I don't know if it's just a wave of this year um is one of them I I think um having that uh data science does a Aid them more than um if they didn't if you if you take that
260out they're they're about even with everybody else essentially so that that data science has added access to a number of kids yeah but when we're looking at you know it's it's never Apples to Apples right because Delora and plas are much larger campuses when I see that they have you know less people passing are participating right um yeah wondering why we're not having more kids at our larger sites we've got more passing and participating you know at kfax than even participating at doore or plaster so that's a concern well I think I you know I think uh the I will tell you that the counselors work really hard to push uh kids into this yeah um into these classes as much as they can we'll talk about that at the end of the um of
261the slide deck um excuse me sign ific anly larger campuses than kfax and kfax is winning the day so good job kfax isn't it correct that both deloro and 88% of their group at delor and pler they have more options for that third year of math than they do at for steel and kfax correct is that part of this say that again Jer the two larger campuses delor and pler they have more options for the third level math other than im3 compared to the two smaller campuses okay so maybe that is contributing good call you mean more option in what way like is this is this data showing just im3 yeah yeah this is data just showing im3 plus uh for plaster and kfax it also includes the data science class so what what courses
262other than data science and im3 qualifies well I I I didn't count any other math courses for people I just counted all of the seniors who have at least made it to im3 yeah um or and have passed it to this point so if a if a kid is in uh you know dual enrollment uh stats or AP all of those they're already included in those numbers because they've made it to that im3 class and and the reason the I'm im3 has just kind of always been our our Benchmark of of access as kind of the the standard for where we want all of our students to get to at least im3 knowing you won't succeed on the Casp test without getting there um realizing there are other options dual credit and and I think
263one of the other things that uh that I wanted to point out too in this is that uh when I you know you have to run these queries uh out of Aries and uh they'll show um duplicates so uh you know you're doing all of these uh cleaning up all of these uh spreadsheets to get to these numbers and I was just really impressed at at our schools at how many um attempts that our students were taking at math at im3 uh because you would see them multiple multiple times sometimes three times that they they took um im3 and it was the third time that they got a C and P and uh and I think that's good and like I said I I mean it's a challenge for the students but uh our our
264sites especially our counselors have uh a deep belief that that that's going to help them give them different opportunities better opportunities and uh help them even if they don't decide to go to college um after After High School Trent we've been looking at mathematics for all the years I've been on the board 10 years you know and I know that Dr srai at one one point was suggesting to us which we never adopted looking outside for some creative math tutor to bring into the district to try to look at some innovative creative ways of introducing in teaching mathematics I'm curious should that be looked at again or sure yeah I think if you ask you know I know that that's one of the things Math teachers I've talked to talked about is you know improving
265you know craft and having new ideas and instructional practices that they could use um in their classes uh I know that that's that's been brought up before just for the record too that's already been done like we that the professional development day that we had last Friday we had uh present from the plas County Office of Education come in and do a presentation on building thinking classrooms so that that kind of is a new model of of in mathematics instruction and so that's what I was going to I was going to bring up some of our current SCH our our current plans how we're trying to address some of those issues so our current scheduling um practices is that students remain in an ad Math course throughout their junior year and um that's sometimes a
266really tough job for the counselors because you have a lot of parents who are like you know my son or daughter didn't like this class they want them out and they they hold the line really well to say no our our um practice is you're going to be in an AG Math course through your junior year and so they they've they've done a great job of doing that uh to ensure that our kids are challenging themselves and making sure that they have uh you know good base of math and numeracy for when whatever they do After High School um we've also included our CTE courses that account for math for those kids who are just need to need that you know you know they're not going to get to integrate 3 because there that's the
267truth that there's some that are going to struggle and maybe not passing so we've added EG mechanics wood shop uh programming computer science uh metal engineering and design and auto if they make it through to the uh completer course that that could count as a thirdy year math option we also created a uh math career or career Math course for a third-year option and those were just as kind of like um safety nets for students who their senior year they're not going to get that uh that adg course and we need to get them credits and help uh prepare them for for their next stage of life um we continue to uh increase support with pushin model um we still do it uh ela's uh or Ela at uh plaster for example are going into
268the math class and assisting um our El students in the math class um so that that's a good model we've had instructional AIDS so our sped AIDS I think we saw it on the learning walk when we were at classer where there's an instructional Aid uh in the classroom uh during math and I thought uh those have been uh beneficial uh Mr zeras and and the rest of the principles kind of discussed the use of Alex they're all doing it they all have an Alex ready Readiness course uh for im1 im2 and im3 um they have an esack module that they've developed uh ter o'keef has been a huge asset to that at at kfax of building a lot of those Alex modules and pushing them out and letting the other sites use a lot
269of those uh our plan is to contract with a uh uh the lady I forgot her name from uh from Alex to build um a full sback module that we can then push out to our students to help prepare them that way uh we have summer completion programs at each of our sites um they might be a little different than what Nick had shown but I think each of them are are trying to tackle some of those math um uh issues on their own uh a lot of them offer uh courses in Alex over summer that they can actually earn credit from um we did building thinking classrooms uh Robert uh lemon brought I think he had three or four teachers one uh from uh kfax I know plaster and delo maybe two from Delo
270I'd have to double check um and so that is just a a different way to give math instruction uh non-traditional s to so to speak and so they uh those teachers actually just as jery said um presented at the at the U quality Schools in service other Math teachers talking about what they learned and putting that out there for those teachers and so if there's other things um it is an area that we would love to increase um is our instructional capacity uh for the for the math teachers all of our teachers but I know that they've been um asking for that as well and then uh we're Nick mentioned it but I know Jamie and both chasty and uh Aaron also as well have been working with their feeder schools about vertical alignment showing
271them hey this is where're at I think Aaron and and Forest Hill divide probably have a pretty good relationship because we teach some of those eighth graders early on when they come over to Forest Hill and and we take some of those kids over there so um I think I think Zoe was one of those weren't you I was not oh but some of my friends were oh okay um so we've had um conversations with our feeder schools about how we can make sure that uh uh we're working together and collaborating uh to help build our math program do we ever have a situation where our Math teachers are meeting and collaborating with the feeder School Math teachers yes we've done it in the past I don't know um Nick Jamie have you guys had
272that yet our meeting is is at the end of this ail yeah and I and I know Scott is always working with um for still the Biden have you guys worked with any of your uh peder School Math teachers not yet not yet okay yeah I had a a conversation with um coach Dy and he had mentioned that prior to covid it was standard you know every year and so I think that you know first I want to acknowledge that the math you know looking at the data right it's rough okay and we all we all acknowledge that this is this is definitely an area that we need to grow and focus on but I I don't always think that the teachers effort is reflected in the data I think everyone's working very hard and
273I think you know a combination of all of the issues combined with the curriculum combined with you know some other legislation and push from um from government hasn't made it any easier um and but I but I am grateful for the hard work that everyone's putting in trying to figure this out and I like everyone else am competitive and I'm staring at Rockland scores and I don't like it um good for them but but you know when you take um when you take our schools and within our district because we're Rockland's two high schools are essentially the same yeah demographically they're the same but when you take our high schools and say compare kfax to a be River or a union mine um and you know or or plaster to to the um to Roseville
274or some of and and all of a sudden it's like oh we're actually sometimes better um I'd have to look at it again but we are competing very well against like schools yeah um in that way so yeah you to your point bringing up um our schedule you know I wondered when we had a comparison back with um I can't remember if it was Ponderosa which was obviously pler is our lowest scoring math School in the district um and so I recall you guys sharing some data like Crossing that but um with with plaster specifically and I wondered I'm like well what schedule are they on are they you know in a different are they not in a 4x4 I've heard from community members serious concern that you know their their freshman comes in and
275in the fall semester they're in a math course and then they're not in it again until the fall of the following year and when I think about math and I know how I learn and how my kids learn you know when you're building building blocks we worry about kids you know forgetting things over the summer like learning loss over the summer but when they haven't touched a math textbook in a year if that's how their schedule's lined out you know that's a concern of mine but I've had some really rich math conversations with Dr cetti with um staff from kfax um with Forest Hill I had an amazing conversation at the back to school spring back to school night with Jerry Jackson who's so passionate about this we like literally ever the game ended and
276we were still talking about math Mike everybody's gone but um he he it's true it's a true story was like this is GNA be weird we're all gonna be walking out to the cameras right now it is literally like math for I don't even know more than an hour maybe two serious and um but he had some really interesting ideas and and um and I'm going to kind of weave this in today I also heard from a gentleman who's a trusty on pedmont City Unified School Board and I feel like it's worth noting um he is the founder of save math um he is a graduate of Harvard there's a lot of people tracking this right now all across the country but in California because we are historically scoring some of the worst in the
277country um in a lot of areas unfortunately um but he has some really interesting um information and data on savath Donnet and I had shared that with Jerry I was like Jerry today I emailed him during the convention I'm I'll check out this website give me some feedback and he did um and one of you know and he he pointed out some of the things but also in the slide deck so I wanted to acknowledge some of the things that he had shared with me um potentially a disconnect between PhD passing grades in math and percentage who met or exceeded the cast math standards 75.6 passed I am1 while 38% met or exceeded the math standard for Casp and so I've heard that repeatedly how are we graduating all these kids who are not meeting
278a proficiency um in the Casp score so how is this possible why is this the case I'm just going to flood you and when you're ready to to interject go for it I I think one of the things that's always uh when you look at Casp data and I think our schools have um they track this I know uh because I've seen their spreadsheets of looking at you know where they the uh the kids that didn't meet standard what math class was you know their what math class were they in at the time that they they took it what did they what you know um and but one of the things that's really uh hard to do is that uh there's not a lot of um accountability to the students for taking the Casp test
279and our and our schools have worked hard to try to incentivize as much as they can but at the at the end of the day there's still this this element of this student walks in at this day to takes this test and determine whether or not that they're proficient on that day uh we try to give you know get our kids in the in the right frame of mind and motivated and do those things so um where oppos as opposed to if it was like an SAT or an AP exam where you know they have some uh accountability to that that score it it might change some of that um I don't think I would have to double check and and I'll get back to you and look at our um uh correlations between uh
280you know students passing uh the uh im3 and not um passing the uh Casp test with a met or or exceed because that the the test is really um measuring integrated two and integrated three half and half or or about I think is what I've heard um from from Math teachers and so uh if a student has passed it integrated one and they're not passing uh but they didn't get it through integrated 2 um or integrated three they're going to they're not going to do well and also uh when I was at deloro I used to run the data too on testing and the amount of students who uh passed or met or exceeded uh that were in a current math class during that term of the test was higher than obviously the ones that
281took it in the in the fall but didn't have one in the in the spring and again those sback modules those Alex Readiness course all of those things are designed to kind of help us manage the um the weak spots of our 4x4 and and not being able to do that so there's a couple things I think that are important to consider yeah TR I know some years back there was a conversation about um potentially trying to add the esac scores to a student's transcripts uh yeah I think when it first came out it was it was going to determine whether or not where you got placed in CSUS and JC's and so when we first did it it was kind of like yes this is great because uh you know this is going to
282uh uh determine whether or not you are in remedial math but when the colleges said well we're not giving remedial math anyway it it kind of took that part away but I haven't heard it coming back to that in any um form of any accountability system where it's going to mean something more it might um I know there's always been uh some debate about SATs and acts and is is you know the cast score can that can that take its place in in California I don't know you feel like if we did have that on the students transcripts that would make a difference as far as how I don't know um because it depends on what the colleges uh do with it it's even even with that aside students know it's going be on our
283transability I can answer okay yeah so um we we explored putting the spack scores on the transcript and what we found is talking to a handful of high level students is they were going to opt out of taking esack because they don't want their score interesting so there are other districts that put it on there but we do not and uh if they opt out it hurts us as a district every time we have an opt out they they take a percentage of how many of your students took the test and if it's a below it'll hurt our overall score so we we'd prefer to have them couple things I'd be very curious to see the those districts that are performing at a high level if there's any sort of incentive that they're attaching to
284taking the test with their students maybe it is just a timing thing maybe those students are actively in a math class higher on average I remember meeting with Zoe uh in that was that like a math class it was like a uh what was that where the students were learning on their that was the Alex program Alex ma okay the it just seemed Antiquated like a like an not a really effective way of learning math what was your I mean do you I know you're at a different level I mean you you kind of Ace math at an earlier age but it just didn't seem like those students were like that engaged and in this day and age I think education is evolving people I mean how do you guys all learn we learn on
285our reals and you and you click on comments and you and you I mean there are so many compelling uh personalities now who can teach math at a at a different level connect with young people at a different level I mean I just I don't know is there any discussion about things that exist currently that could be I mean we've talked about some of those I know like there's some different uh I know a lot of our teachers have have used like Con Academy stuff that that is really you know pretty engaging in certain ways but uh not systemically we haven't talked about narrowing those down speaking of that Jerry Jackson OH goad do you want to go ahead yeah you know what you're saying makes supports the whole concept of going out and finding
286this creator you know tutor that can really bring creative relevancy and fun maybe fun more into the equation and I can't help but think about the Lindsay model where for students to make an a right a four the four they have to help the students that are struggling in there and I think one of our greatest resources we have are kids teaching kids I I know in my years in the classroom I saw students sometimes teaching much better than I was teaching I'm being you know they can talk in their language and they can break things down better I'd like to see us begin to use a a model maybe not the lindesay model but a model where we're using the kids that are really doing well in math and somehow getting them more involved
287in helping the kids that are struggling I think that would I think we have that at a few obviously Nick talked about it I was when we did Forest till uh learning walk uh that was happening in in Charlie Pierce's class where they had a bunch of uh student tutors sitting uh working with with the so we are doing some of that Ruby had a comment um just like the creative methods of doing it I know that Mr Schwarz um he teaches pre-cal and calculus at kfax he has YouTube videos and stuff kfax math has like 56,000 subscribers which is pretty cool but yeah so he like whenever one of us misses CL or something like that he posts what he taught during class and that way we can interact with it pause it whenever
288we need take notes all of that stuff so that way it's a little bit more um like to our level in case like if during class for example like if I didn't get like we were talking about derivatives and I just um missed a part of notes or something like that and then and then he um makes those videos and then posts them and then we're able to like look back pause it where we need that sort of stuff and then we can come in the next day ask him any questions and then you also like really encourages sort of student work as well so like we have um like students come up we finish a problem and then we do it on the board and then answer any questions that any of us have
289whether it's like in the front in the back so that way it's a little bit more personal with one another and then of course he's leading that discussion as well but it's a little bit like less scary to ask you know a friend of mine as opposed to my math that seems a lot more conducive to today's generation and how they're learning so they're able to pause so everyone's on their device in class video uh no so you can if you want to but um he makes those videos after class so if we miss it or anything um like we missed class that day then we can go back see what we missed that sort of thing or if we need just a refresher on what um we talked about during that class um then
290we're able to check back in as well because it's just it's another learning tool because he explains it in a different way as well in a lot more detail too because when we're in class it's a little bit more like fast-paced because we only have like 80 minutes and stuff like that and he wants us to sort of move through especially as an IB um C class we have to sort of move through units as quickly as possible um because we have our test coming up in May so thanks for sharing it's called kfax math yeah check you know one other thing about uh Alex I'll just say and and I I don't want to speak too much about it but I do know uh when I was talking to uh the principles and back
291me up if I'm not saying this right it feels like there's some traction with how they're using it and more Comfort uh and using it and seeing more success in using it the first couple times I think uh this past year it was it was newer uh and now uh we have a lot more people who are using it and as they use it more they get better at it and they're sharing ideas with each other I I would assume it felt like uh from Jaime's conversation with the math department on Friday that they saw that some benefit in it now is it the best um you know digital tool out there for math I'm not sure um but I do know that they are U making progress in making it a very useful resourceful
292tool for for our students I so as far as Alex goes like consistent feedback from students they're not fans consistent feedback from staff they're loving it because it's sharing so much data in real time they're knowing where their their kids are so if 75% of the class is like getting the concept they're moving um but something creative that Jerry I'm coming back to Jerry Jerry Jackson um because you guys are talking about creative Sol Solutions um he brought up you know we are in a technology era I think we all know that but he had mentioned and brought up and shared with me several um really interesting AI tools and um and I think it's interesting I mean everyone's using it I mean deloro used it for their beautiful cartoon work U for their slides
293um I think a lot of kids are using it in a lot of different ways and adults included and we were at a pccoe training and we weren't immediately getting something and we asked chat GPT and it shot out the answer and I think um you know he shared with me there's math uh GPT there's Mappy um Amy synthesis Tor tutor squirrel AI learning um canigo I'm not sure how to pronounce that um edia there's a lot of really cool AI supports that would be super customized even maybe even better at explaining something than Alex which I from my perspective I haven't used it just anecdotally it's more of a drilling tool and a preparatory tool to take take you know the test right or a quiz to get to get um gain some practice
294which is critically important in any math class you have to drill um but potentially like roaching some of these things especially with students who are coming in that don't you know I was talking to um one of the teachers at pler who shared with me that you know in their im1 class because there's not a pre anymore they have kids who are like ready to fly through im1 and they have kids that don't know how to add negative numbers and so to try to facilitate any meaningful lesson in that time is like brutal and I know that teachers are leveling their instruction all the time but I think that one there's everyone's calling for pre-integrated again um I just going to share that I'm getting that feedback it's really difficult I know they're not getting
295a math credit for that but I worry about throwing them into the deep end and like good luck um but I also uh you know support having kids in a you know in a less restrictive environment with kids without the same disabilities and struggles because I do believe a riding Rising tide raises All Ships but I think we do have to think outside of the box we're not we're not cutting it the nation's not cutting it California is not cutting it and I think it's worth looking at some of these options to provide another angle of support that may be more interesting and creative for the kids I mean they're going to be using things anyway so I would say um yes to that that I think uh you know uh I thought I we
296saw a great demonstration of you know trying to solve a problem and having a site go how can we fix this how can we solve this and and work together and uh so that's that's one great thing but I also want to point out um that if I asked uh Chassy you know if she taught in English nine class if she had kids who could barely read and kids who could read at a high level she did and and that's and that comes in every class where you have kids the English teachers all English all kids started English n and that's where they end they end and uh they they work they have four years to get through um so it is a challenge and I think that was one of the one of the
297arguments being made is you know these kids are starting at English and English n who have very low Lexile numbers really low Lexile numbers because we've seen them um and and so uh but I get it I I don't know what the answer is because we've done both and I don't know if if we see a decided decidedly different outcome and I don't know that every site has to be I I don't believe every site with their course offerings and the trajectory have to look exactly the same when we have a larger e population or or um more kids with with um special learning you know disabilities you know I don't know like and I realize that there's some different offerings you know and you had mentioned that but yeah how how are we you
298know supporting all of them I also think that there's just this we have to break the mindset of I'm just not a math person like that that that mindset gets developed pretty early and it's hard to I'm not a math person like it's like I'm not a reading person well that's not going to cut it you have to we have to support you I don't care how long it's going to take you to read that you have to read you know that you this is your your barrier to the world but math is as well I'm grateful that we've got a really good um adult school program and we've talked about an articulation um potentially or trying to get something on the dashboard for our kids who are not making im3 because they they're not
299going to make it in Community College if they don't have some of those foundational skills there's obviously this is a there's a lot to do with math and I think um another point and my last point that on our website um and this was brought up again by Jerry who I just I'm a super fan of Jerry um he said on the website mathematics um there's no mention on our website about mathematics Excellence or plans to achieve you know that level and so we've had public articles written in Auburn Journal emails to the board concern about where we're going and like are we aware of this issue we're aware we're definitely aware but what steps are we taking and and how public facing are we setting our objectives and goals to to shift the needle
300um so I just had one one concern I wanted to bring up and I have no experience with Alex program at all um but I have seen over the years a number of different times uh the district um adopt a program or service um and spend all this time and money and effort training the teachers getting the teachers on board getting the teachers to use it and then a year later it's gone um so I want to say that if we're investing all this time energy and money into the Alex program I want to see it around for a while can we ask the student what's the knock on Alex um so I actually spoke to uh Charlie Pierce our the main teacher who's working with Alex and he said the students don't like it
301because it's not forgiving and it doesn't it doesn't let you just continue on without um having complete and total knowledge in all of the key components of math you have to try something again and again and again until you are competent in that area and then it will let you continue so the students don't like it for that reason um but he also said that a few of the students who did take it last year I believe who are now in um I guess a more inperson traditional math class said that it did help them because it helped again fill in those key areas while I mean a traditional math class and a solely online Alex math class are two very different things and I think we kind of need to find a happy medium
302there but Alex is definitely supportive in filling in those and I would say that yeah thank you for that Zoe I would also add that um it it is sort of a a resource as as you know there's 36 37 kids in a im1 class and if there's a way that can bolster their support without some direct instruction from a teacher who's trying to manage 37 kids in a class um and it's and it's and it's really working on those foundational Concepts in that course I think that just is a benefit to to continue to do that thank you very much thanks really appreciate you thanks I'm sorry about your voice we kept you up there a long time all right well hopefully we can look at in the future as a board you know
303some possibilities of getting uh some creative tutor you know that can come and do an inservice in the district and maybe as you said because I think you're right you know uh help teachers maybe talk more on the language of kids in a creative exciting way to bring math where they can actually become excited I get to go into math wow integrated to I'm ready ready to go where they can do that you know so hopefully we can begin to look at that at some point president Spade I just want to remind us the board of the of time if we get to the 10:00 time we need to have a board vote in order to extend that and pick a time just so everybody's aware thank you so much yep I know I was
304reviewing that by I'm like well we've kind of you know we went past that one last time so thank you for acknowledging that all right 10.2 first I'm just gonna ask board does anybody need to stretch their legs or use a restroom by a minute are you guys ready to just hunker down like we're hunkering down carry on thank you Peter okay so what you have in front of you is a compilation of Sil several years of facility reports have been presented to the board over time um I've been doing these every at least once a year since I got this position back in 2017 we did a little bit more often when we were going through Bond work at Plaster and deloro um and then continue the work the last time we did this
305um well I gave you guys an update in the fall but when we went through a um an update to a facility master plan it was done in the spring and early fall of 2023 and that is the second slide and so we worked with a group called lionakis they're the Architecture Firm that we used when we went way back in 2016 2015 excuse me we actually did our initial uh facility master plan with them in preparation of a bond in 2016 and back in those days they estimated a need of almost $190 million and so we passed two bonds we spent about a 100 we go through na facility master plan with them we come back to to the board in September of 2023 and we show um a need coming from nice to
306do should do and must do that's why we colorcoded it 93 million okay so that was what was presented to the board a while ago I'm not going to go through the other attachment that I have um given you in the agenda but that was a breakdown of all of these color codings that you see by the school from take care of the press BLX look at infrastructure look at drainage look at the PA systems all those items were broken down and even that list was not inclusive of all the things that could have been on that list of the money that we spent with Lineo us to develop um because the facility master plan that we developed took several months to go through they bring in experts Engineers they go review the campuses and
307so forth and they try to put dollar figures to what it is and then this is presented to the board and so this is kind of a summary page of numbers they came up with a couple years ago based off of nice Todo items should do and then the mustu okay and again the other attachment which is a really long document sorry to bring it up these items right here that would break down to you if you were looking like and I'll just use um a kofax as an example but uh there's still Oro you know one of the uh red items was repaving the parking lot another one was looking at the bleachers um the girls restrooms in the 100 building which in the toilet rooms Ada access uh repair roofs skylights which we've
308been doing by the way in the last couple years since this was done from a couple years ago so some of the items have been attended to and so in looking at that we tried to figure out okay what items and of course that led up to co vaccin to go out for a bond and that's what we did in 2024 because the bond we went for was for $21 million we were eligible for matching funds about another six or seven would have got us to $27 million you look at colfax's needs $27 million we could have solved it with a bond Bond didn't pass so now we're here um we are sitting on some money next slide if you could these are monies that we have estimated coming in that we have in the
309bank and so a compilation of it just to show you what we have the mitigation agreements the state modernization reimbursement that's money in the bank if you meent if you remember before Su talked about 114 or 11 something that was under in report was in what's in fund 40 right now that's money that's been in our bank right now okay um the money that is allocated from there as an example we have 300 Grand that's allocated to put a generator at K at Forest H um that's already taken out of this amount so there a little over $11 million that's sitting in that fund facility account um that's I'm going to be talking more about when I get into the report zeler fees this is the amount of money that we see we could collect
310over the next couple of years now mind you you're going to say well it doesn't seem kind of high when we're collecting a million a year well we're actually allocating 1.8 and 2.2 over the next couple years for for uh for excuse me coaxes track and field the money that's in there and the Boyington parking lot which has already been approved by the board and we're moving forward on those projects as well as you all know thank you to the board for approving the track and field project for coax the land sale um probably be a little less I put 1.1 1.1 through we'll see what the closing costs are going to be but that's money that now that the board's approved it if 6 months from now if the buyer comes through fruition that
311money will come into the account and so all said and done about $14 million would be sitting that account if it all comes with these numbers obviously looking at the last two the developer fee and the 49s those are still kind of estimates because that could fluctuate based off Market well how much we take out if the guy decides to go through the sale but developer fees depending on the market you know years ago we were collecting well over a million a year then the market tank we were collecting hardly anything a year because no one was building um I don't foresee that happening but I I know I don't guarantee anything anymore uh next slide so some projects I just highlighted a couple big ones um that we're doing right now I mentioned earlier
312the kfax track and field and the Del warington parking lot by the way you're not going to finish the parking lot for 1.8 that was just money that we allocated before looking at an overall larger project in that parking lot so whatever is not used for this architectural engineering that's what A&E stands for will go into the balance of trying to repair that parking lot we're in the middle of working with an architect right now which was um guidance given to me a while ago um from the board um engineering we're with the architect right now because one of the biggest obstacles to that parking lot is path of travel from the parking lot to the campus okay and so um and and looking at I think I remember sharing with this board earlier the
313pictures of what the bar kind look like Paving about maybe half or a little bit more than that the rest would be kind of a not a gravel but something more of a of a base that would be fenced in because that parking lot's not used daily I mean as much on a daily basis but football games graduation facility events those kinds of things so and also just to clarify the rendering so Justin doesn't have a panic attack that is not what the actual Field's going to look like they want all green they don't want the alternating color um that that was the picture that I had but they want the gray track with the green the green spers for where the handoffs are for the um relay races so that was kind of cool
314so going on to the next slides my Rec sorry my recommendations in working with M Don Manning our new director the previous director Tim um and looking at what was given to us by L OAS and working a lot with the principles over the several months having them give me a list over and over again this is just a stapled compilation I have one two three four I think 3 1 six iterations from the times I've been talking to the principles to getting a final tally of what their requests would be not necessarily an open checkbook but items they see on their campus from their point of view and from talking to facilities hence you see the track and field is already being funded um A&E future funding um the state reimbursement money that's the
315money we need to match so when we look at what the state does they've that 4.5 repres presents 40% of a project the state would give about another 7 million for a total project about almost $1 million project so and that only happens if the state decides to pass another state Bond facility Bond and we have to get in line and the only way to get in line is to get architectural engineering approved DSA plans in place hence why staff's recommendation is move forward with planning a million dollars to get an architect to work with kofax to get that stakeholder team back into place what is needed there to replace the portals build a classroom building and other things get those architectural plans in line and then hopefully see if the state will provide the
316matching funds if we get in line to do that but at a minimum we need to come up with 4.58 four so that's why those two items are in red because that would be a request to do that other items the PA system we all know the schools want PA systems you'll notice in all the other slides for the schools PA systems all in red for every school okay that wasn't just as I mean everybody's been asking for it classroom furniture B still got it bler got it deloro got it kofax got one okay they were like the training gr a long time ago Sarah schauffer is like the queen on that campus because she's got the new furniture it's not new anymore because it's like four or five years old so I'm looking at
317about 20 classrooms you or take about 25 to 30 grand because it's not just student Furniture it's also new teacher Furniture the reason I came up with 600 Grand is when we did it at Plaster and Del was about 25 Grand a room now I'm looking about 30 grand a room okay um what is called the IDF HVAC IDF I have to ask Carlos what that acronym is for but it's all the technology equipment that goes into running the networks on the campuses years ago when we didn't have networks and so forth you'd have to worry about it when it became a big deal about having internet on the campus they said oh put all these technology things in the room not realizing those things give off heat so they all need air conditioning to
318a certain extent that 82,000 is a quote we've received from a company just to put air conditioning in some of these rooms to keep those machines working because when they overheat they shut off okay um HVAC in room 601 602 I don't have a count on that you know we've upgraded those rooms that's the welding shop and the ceramic shop 100 ring refresh the reason I have a number there is because that is happening over spring break that's being taken care of with monies that's already in the facility account um with maintenance the lockers we put about a number in there that's actually an account that um Don has gotten a quote from a company to come in and paint and refresh the Lockers in the boys and girls locker room um and that would
319come from a different fund as well the weight room we have no number on that that would be part of going in with the architecture engineering to figure out what they would do with that idea portable roofs that is an amount I am not recommending spending any money on portable roofs I would just go buy that blue tarpet Home Depot and cover it that's what we're doing right now um the plan long time ago unless the board wants to change the decision was always rid of Portables we got rid of them at deloro except for the ones out in the 600 we got rid of them at Plaster and the goal is to get rid of all the Portables at at kfax with building a new class room Wing now if that changes with the
320stakeholder group we go through it again I guess it could that has always been the plan and and been put forward with the facility master plan with going through bomb review and everything is we got to get rid of those Portables and build a classroom L and then the last part was a request was Bill stations um I'm not recommending us this money for this but that would be the about that cost for one cuz that was kind of the cost we we did to other schools it may be simple to buy one of those machines but they have to be installed and it's not as simple as to just plugging it onto a wall requires electricity requires drainage requires water all that kind of stuff Del next slide so again a little smaller list
321because why well Delo just had $55 million in bond money they got a lot of things done staff's recommendation the PA system allocate 2.7 of this money for Boyington parking lot to finish that off um they need their Press Box refreshed and they need the stadium refreshed same as I put with CX I think they have the Press Box refreshed on there as well they have restrooms up there that are a nice cinder block building but it needs some cleanup yes you see the money coming to you Ruby okay next slide should be Forest Hill um we can't do turf at Forest Hill but they need to resot it you'll say the grass looks great it does but the crown has been lost in the field and there's like ruts in so for so so
322it's not as smooth playing Service as you say so we have a quote for just a little under 100 Grand to put new saw on that field PA system resurface the track renovate their Press Box and put in some visitors bleachers the items yes [Music] sir it's not working well the school is built in 2004 so it's 20 years old and it's not the age of the PA system the technology of the system does not work with the technology that's there anymore there were no fiber op when they put the PA system in 24 years ago or 20 years ago no no it's complete s in End Zone to end zone sideline to sideline they come in they regrade the whole field they put the the slight crown on the field and the new saw
323in there but they're not rolling are they no it's rolling s correct Don yeah we roll it because it it if you spray it it'll take longer to germinate and of course yeah no one wants to wait cuz when you reage you can't go play on it for a good month or so and it wouldn't happen till near the end of the school year because you don't want to do too late in the summer but you don't want to do you can't even the school year it's you know graduation things like that I have the generator on there that's money that's already allocated I know that Dawn is is is picking up on a project that was actually started with Jeff Patton we just never got to fruition with it because of code um um
324building codes and things like that which have already been um cross those hurdles but we've always wanted to get a generator at kfax and at Forest Hill and Forest H was the last one to get done I do not have a cost yet on the hbac for their IDF yet plaster again smaller slide because a lot of their things are being done with the bond there's still Bond money left um one of the proposals I'm going to be coming to you in April is for the new gym floor and the oral crab that'll be coming out of the bond but we would like to use some of this money to offset some of the cost for the PA system for the IDF and then hats off to Jamie when she was looking at items for
325her school she went to Confluence confluence would love some blinds in their classroom um some furniture they don't have new classroom over there um and then looking at redoing that ad CL there's a portable out there for a that was used as the waight room when we were renovating the Earl crab gym it needs work now because boys don't know it how take care of of locker rooms I know I was one of them a long time ago just want to say thank you Jamie for thinking about them and and and for putting them in your plan I know that that would mean a bu so and then the last one um we can't forget the elmac Stephen will never let me forget that he's at at the elmac um so um and along with
326the district we' like to put some cameras here at the district um the what we call the annex used to be the old Mau building but when you pull into the old elmech and you see to your left is the PSA office and to the right is an empty office that's now being used by PSA eventually that's what we call the annex um I just put a number in there they need a new roof on there um they need some HVAC we don't have a quote on that yet so have to come later but we need some gutter work some siding work and they'd like to get a new conx for a shed they have out there that I don't know when it's been there but that shed needs to be torn down and put
327up a more reliable system on a concrete pad so this are the district cameras is that for this campus this campus no this campus so we need two or three cameras I do believe at maintenance I think it's two or three three and then two over here one facing this parking lot and then one facing because we wired it to put the cameras in so that we can have people coming into the main campus of this area we never put the cameras in yet I'm going to be frank I'm I'm way more concerned about District C obv maintenance because there's equipment and all of not that there's not equipment here my my uh take on the district cameras I just would prefer spending it where the kids are just going to be frank well we
328have you know we spend a million dollar oh I know I'm I'm totally aware I'm not sure what it would take to cover some of the maintenance and you know equipment that's you know expensive not that I don't care care about y'all I do um but I'd rather and you put them in the boy's bathroom like down but like just like head level get some audio going oh Lord have mercy oh Emerson it's a problem it is a problem we heard all about it as as as an aside if you want to see cameras in action so West West Park when they built their High School one of their main bathrooms is kind of like um a nice hotel where you walk in and you see a row of sinks and then to your right
329is a bank of bathrooms but it's Florida wall ceiling doors so it's individual stalls but like enclosed bathrooms the camera is in the area so you can see people washing their hands and you can see what stall they walk into but because the stall is completely private that's why they're allowed to have a camera in there that's what I was thinking because it's like a huge but we don't have stalls like that and the cost of doing that would be insurmountable it is unfortunate that students when Delo was first built we built those brand new buildings the first thing they went after was the bathrooms um I don't know if they're doing this anymore but I know last year Nick came to me and basically said are we allowed to bolt the door open to
330the girls restroom in the yoya hallway said yes you can because they cannot see into the bathrooms in there and some girls came up with a screwdriver and actually ripped the bolt out of the wall so they could close the door again I don't think that's happening again we haven't tried it again okay they won but I will tell you that that that that my comment would be being that my kids are all out of high school is that um and maybe this is bad of me but um we can do everything we want but I think it's more of a family social parent problem not a school problem that's just me maybe I'm out of line but I always find it weird that you walk into a bathroom and kids are sitting on the
331floor because they're talking with each other I'm like you know we don't mop that every day you do know that don't you but okay it's a secret it's a secret place to gather I yeah but I I just don't know where that comes from so I've done my piece sorry um I think the last slide or one of so second to last slide some summary recommendations so here we go kfax is eligible for reimbursement from the state in 2026 and 27 for a total of $6.8 million when I mentioned earlier we have to match that with 4.8 you add 4.8 or what was a 4.5 I do believe to the 6.8 you're almost at $11 million now mind you that's not guaranteed even if we get in line there has to be enough money in
332that state Bond okay they pay was it several billion dollars there's people already in line there schools already in line to do this waiting for that money you know do I know for sure they're going to pass another Bond I don't doubt the state's not going to try and pass another facility Bond whether it being 26 or 28 that's the only way because they're not putting it in the general fund okay um is kofax going to try for another bond in 26 or 28 perhaps um I know the team that we worked with they would love to do it again and attack it again we came somewhat close um but looking that again don't you think it would make a difference if there was already a plan in place plans approved for the building give
333them some like a vision for kofax for you know we didn't we we had that a little bit for the bond at deler before you have B put up you have to yeah I mean we didn't have DSA approved plans before um we never had like the buildings even at at pler and delor Delora we did but not at Plaster we did at delor specifically because we were in line for $15 million every for new construction money that we had to match equally and we did that through the bond hence that's why Del got to spend 55 million not 40 million of the bond that was passed but that was a selling point that we were trying to tell the people in the bond that hey you help us pass this Bond we can get
334line with the state we have the architectural plans in line because at the time we did not come to the board asking for them to you know dedicated a million dollars to spend for architecture we're doing that now so we can have those plans in line okay again there's the match the 4.5 again total project would be 114 you know um the fund balance is 113 there's I I showed you some fund 25 the sale of the land about $14 million available to us excuse me last slide is what staff is recommending that the board basically move forward with of the money we have available a little over six and a half would go to kofax three to deloro 580,000 Forest Hill about 200 60 for plaster 20 grand for the district and $435,000 for
335the elmech and so Mone have down B below the money available is 14 we're recommending spending about 11 so there's still be some money left over um our recommendation with that money would all go to kofax which would increase if we don't get any money from the state we have the 4.5 that we have plus another three we could do like a $7 million project that 148 or the 14.4 is what we would get from the state plus adding the three million that would be there for a total of that project if we didn't pass a bond and we got in line with the state and got that money eventually we could look at maybe planning for a 14 almost $15 million project at kfax over the next few years obviously so I want to
336make sure I understand correctly on the on the previous slide it had essentially 14 million of right available available the total projects right 1146 and so that would leave us with a remainder of 2,700 go back to the last this one right here what I'm recommending staff's recommending is that of the slides I showed you the ones in red would be just under 11 million okay and so the 14 million that would' be asking for giving staff Rec move forward with the plans that you have because what would happen is I'd be coming to the board with permission or you know seeking your approval of these items like as example if we're going to do a roof got to bring that agenda item to if we're going to do you know the PA system going
337to bring that to you so you see those items as they come through I'm only asking say like the plan go forward with the red things or if you have any suggestions yeah um is it normal to completely zero out the fund I mean obviously we're we are well it was Zero before we had it okay yeah I mean how I mean obviously things need to be done I'm just wondering because I've only been here a couple years so I'm wondering what what does it look like to build that back up and matching and you know contingency or issues like that come up that are you know emergency if we we're down to zero we're in trouble so you know I I I get a little bitc conc ered when we're talking about you know
338well that's why we didn't plus some yeah that's why mean when I look at the 10.9 yeah I'm not zering it out because there's still be three million left you know because the 14 million in a couple years that will I'm not say will but should be there because the developer fees and the sale the land now if the land doesn't go through you take a million off that number but again this is why it's a recommended list move forward to planning looking at items you know keep sharing stuff moving forward with stuff and then as an example when I come through because we're not going to spend this one Fell Swoop the PA systems would be a big topic you know I know a lot of the schools would love to get this done
339over the summer Carlos has got me some quotes I'm hoping to come to the board eventually to get this stuff done some of the people that we talk with would do the work after school hours which is nice because during this during the that day is kind of hard to do obviously if you're installing speakers and stuff like that I get concerned about throwing a blue tarp over the buildings at kfax I'm just going to be frank I mean I mean that could be a great selling point like listen we've got blue tarps in our building we need a bond you know and two years from now but like what in the world are they going to do for two years with a tarp you know a green tarp when it make it a green
340tarp at least make it match well just so you know it's there now no I'm aware and I have serious concerns about it I I think like I know that we brought in these portables for the the football team for the weight room at pler I mean although they were that was already there there I thought that there was portable brought on oh the one we rented correct yes that one we did for the extra so what does that look like I mean are we in any position to be able to bring in a portable that's not leaking with a just as a temporary until there's a chance of passing a bond up there like what would that cost because they're dealing with a nightmare in the weather I mean they're not um I can
341look at I mean when we did it here at at pler it was not cheap it was I'm sure it's not no I I can't I'm trying I don't want to say I don't want to say number because I remember it was not cheap and we did it because it was the weight room um we got hit up with damage because they decided you know they said the floor was tough enough but it wasn't tough enough to handle it um kfax unfortunately be a different story because the portable has to be a special portable because of snow load yeah and that kind of thing and then you have to put the Ada ramp because they won't just come in and put it on that concrete there right um you know right now when talking with
342Rob cologne I don't even know if we could re-roof those Portables because of the snow load aspect you know when those Portables were put in 20 30 years ago they didn't require snow though things it wasn't the building codes have changed over time yeah and so and if you talked to some of them I don't know if chassis is going to say this it's my understanding and maybe Justin K because his buddy's working there the three in the back are in better condition than the four five in the front is that accurate right even though the four in the front front might look better than the ones in the back so starter to rehabilitate those Portables it's just to me I would I mean our recommendation is is with with that the architecture engineering is
343looking at what a new building would cost to replace it with six to eight classrooms I don't know if you need nine to replace the nine you know kofax at its high point with those classes plus a few more Portables had about a thousand kids you know could teach your share rooms I'm not saying we're going to do that people we're going to all get up my arms what Peter said at a meeting but you know does an eight classroom building cost me 7even million instead of just you know doing the Portables I don't you know that would be something that the architect that's that's part of the recommendation of hey sounds great move forward with engaging an architect and start looking at those plans so we can get in line and see what that
344would look like my old 2020 quote for the module of plaster there was 48x 40 DSA is about 2,300 a month a month to rent it to rent it there's you know several of those so then you're looking at maybe 10 grand a month so 120 Grand a year and that was just a rent it that wasn't I don't think it was the install if it was it correct Peter or anyway that we can look into what the possibilities might look like as far as re-roofing some of those Portables because even if we did decide we were going to build a new building we're talking years out you are so what can we do in the meantime besides the blue tarp if well that number that 360 number is to fix the portable roofs that's
345why I didn't put it in red because that would not be my recommendation right now again but that's that's why we're having this conversation yeah I mean I I just worry about you know safety um clearly despite the blue tarp they're crushing it academically I feel like they're the prime example of you don't have to the perfect learning environment and building to like kill it however I I think about safety and just other issues and yeah the long-term plan and what we're going to do down I I just don't feel like a tarp is a sufficient solution sorry the portable roof is that an actual quote or is that like a number it's like a rough number from before because roofs range when we did it like some at for at Del Range anywhere from
34660 to 90 grand depending on the extent of the roof and so I basically took a number like 60 and times it by six and looked at six roofs but we don't know from a builder if it's even feasible no my understanding the three in the back would not be feasible because of snow load things no one would want to touch it I don't but the ones in the front I think aren't the roofs it's more about the siding and things like that or like the floors inside the building so we could do that I mean we could go look at you know but anybody will tell you that if you're looking at a portable and fixing the floor all kind of stuff you're you're basically throwing good money to bad type type of thing
347right and I'm I'm not again not trying to push back on not do anything but what I'd love to find out is at a minimum if board says move forward is get the architect in line find out maybe six months from hour a year hey this is what would cost to build a building and replace those Portables is it reachable with just the money that we have I'm fine with looking looking at what our options are but again I'm I'm worried about like what does the rest of the year and next year look like because it's not going to solve that problem in the next year meanwhile our kids are you know having buckets in their classroom and you know bringing it up at every meeting as they have their right to do and they
348should do so I I think we need a short-term plan and I think we need a long-term plan um hopefully not that long sorry chest are they are they using those front Portables yeah I don't know to Jeremy's point I mean new building we're talking years out yeah you talk easily two years yeah but even with the portable I mean you know you're still looking at six months to Year by the time you plant it and get it up because you know when we did the portable this building here even though we had some snags still took two years because of the foundation the engineering all that kind of stuff and this even in Auburn required a snow load and a floor load the Portables aren't as simple as they used to be the renting
349is probably not a big Bal because it's a short-term thing and so the DSA rules were a little bit different but you when those portals were put in at at kolfax long time ago the building codes were very much different but there is there a ballpark on what a portable would cost well this one right here was over $200,000 just to buy the building and get it installed I I mean sorry 200 200 Grand to buy it it was another half million to install it this building here this is a portable yeah it's basically twice a classroom yeah each classroom is usually two sections this is two classrooms basically so 700 Grand give or take if we purchased it purchased it installed but if we rented it temporarily until we could get everything in line
350and the architect and build and pass a bond and that was way back when when we did temp I I have not looked into renting Port yeah and so that might be 180,000 a year just just in rental costs right yeah you're going to spend that and waiting for a building yep renting you might as well just builds and portables for the mint for the uh intern I mean we could do it for a few I mean I know that one of the things that we did with plaster and and specific PL by building what we call the teacher collaboration centers was the idea is that not really build new rooms but build it in a way where you have staff rooms so that then teachers can share classrooms and have a staff room to
351go to because they don't have a room to have a prep in anymore it wasn't met with a lot of fanfare but you know building a new classroom it ranges you know5 to $600,000 or do you have just one and you have share in space because right now like I'll just use plaster as an example there could be 20 rooms empty or 15 rooms empty every prep period And if someone said oh I I can't bring a new enrollment 15 rooms times 30 kids that's 150 students I can take it plaster right there off the bat now that means the teacher can't use their room during prep but if they have a 600 TCC room a 500 and a 100 that's three small staff rooms along with the staff Lounge four rooms on that campus
352a teacher could go to you know right now all three of those things have kitchens right you know areas they can hang out whatever it is that are not kid accessible I'm not trying to put anything out there but that was the plan long time ago that treated almost like small colleges is you know there's an area for teachers to have their little offices but then the classrooms are always exchanged so that they're used at its fullest not sitting empty one time a day you know and is that possible where you rent just a few Portables and then Shu figures how people can share I don't know and that's not my recommendation I'm just that was that those were conversations you ask about what has been happening in the past those were conversations in the
353past that's why at Plaster the previous um master plan showed a brand new building where the 600 Wing is right now a two-story building with new classrooms and we nixed that idea because the idea of using TCC rooms and spreading more of the money out throughout the campus instead of building that new building is what the board eventually did now of course enrollment didn't go up so we're not releasing the TCC rooms like we thought there being used but not to that degree cuz you know plers is below 1,200 not sitting at400 beer how much did the 1,000 building cost at deloro you have any idea just yeah there were about 12 million I think it was like 39 million all said when they were all said and done and that was 32 that was
354a two of the buildings are 12 classrooms the other one's 10 because it's the same size but they did the bigger rooms right the so about 12 million for a two-story building just for clarification at this point your your hoping to receive some direction to to move yeah just sayy you know if I mean not to be presumptuous but the items in red specifically say you know the PA systems the cameras the Boyington um when I look at the list here um the amount especially for kofax 2 um looking at yes move forward you know let's engage with an architect let's get back to getting the stakeholder group together because once the architect you know it has always been my assumption that we want to replace the Portables there but you know I mean I
355I think that that should be the goal I mean and looking at it's the Portables it's the weight room um it's the Press Box it's the 100 Courtyard that's always been kind of the in infrastructure at kofax when we looked at trying to spend $21 million a bond that was always those topics of items and so that's what I would bring back to the stakeholder group has anything changed from there you want to add anything and then present that have the architect there to say okay let me see what I can do with the money that you have you know what can we do with 7 million what we can do with 14 million give them the opportunity to see what the monies are is is the the vision to put the new building where
356the Portables currently are the front that was the the rendering we had from a long time ago I didn't bring it here I can share it in a Friday fact but the rendering shows the new building would take the place of those six Portables right there because one of the other topics was kind of revamping the entryway of the campus you know so when you come in those two the main gates next to the office you kind of you're entering the classro kind of leading into the field and so making because you know their Courtyard is pretty is pretty cool that courtyard everybody can kind of meet there kind of stuff and if you put the classroom building there everybody's kind of account when they built a learning com as a plaster that became the
357focal point of the campus that's beautiful so is is the decision like a new portable or repair the roofs it's neither on there currently no our recommendation was to move forward with A and E to figure about replacing it with a new building and bringing the architect agree with that I agree totally with that but that's three four five years out and something has to be done for those Portables in the in the meantime order yep it's 10 p.m. okay sorry we're turning into pumpkins no you do not be sorry um so we need to decide if we're going to extend um and exactly what time we want to close this party down because we can't re we can't redo it there's only one motion but we're close we're very close is I mean obviously
358I st with direct the board's just giving you Direction but if if permission gives me for me I would love to be able to get to my second report too only because putting that off is is dealing with no we're definitely getting to that report if I have my brothers all right 15 we can end faster than that or we can say 20 we end in 10 like goals 20 and then hopefully we're out of here in 10 or less can have goals right have a motion but I mean if you guys are a good with all this direction I'm so sorry Peter we got to make a motion Sor my apologies motion to extend 20 minutes okay do I have a second I'll second all in favor say I I I all oppose I
359I mean if you if you guys are good with this direction me obviously have to come to don't have a majority hold on sorry they have to do this sending or ending so we have two eyes one no and we've got an anonymous we've got a Nova no okay so we have we are tied which means the motion failed do I have a motion to extend and at what time if we don't so let me um point of clarification on 10.3 if we don't see or this item we can't make a decision this is a first read and it's not an action so if we don't hit item 10.3 or provide any direction well technically we don't have to provide Direction on two if we want more time to unpack that but three I think
360we should he so that at the next meeting we could potentially make a decision especially since this project is beginning in the summer and it's my understanding that that item would be a part of that um construction over the summer with the naming so I think we do need to extend the time I don't care if it's not 20 minutes we could say 10 we could say five do we have a public comment that's I don't have any blue cards so we got a great chance motion I'll make a motion to extend the meeting um by 10 minutes which it is 10:02 to 10:12 second we have a first and a second trusty spade and trusty Lake all in favor say I I I I'll oppose not hearing one motion passes unanimously you have to
361vocalize it it's it's the rule all right so we're extending it we've got officially 9 minutes are we going to give some direction on 10.2 or would you guys prefer to postpone this and bring it back in three weeks at our um August it's not an action item so if I mean you can what I would what what what what my Hope was with the recommendations is move forward with the red items in terms of bringing things to the board as they come up yeah like yes go look for the architect um we would want to see the money allocated look into the portable roofs right because just because the items in red doesn't mean we can't look into the other things and it doesn't mean we can we don't have to approve it once
362it gets here exactly but I would also be sharing these items with with you well before I mean you know our taac has always been by the time you SE at a board meeting you've heard about it several times three times right and so but the idea is please the PA systems looking at kofax um you know the Boyington making sure you're moving on that the items that already been kind of out there you know I I would support you looking into these items further and bringing it back to report out so we don't have to provide a motion it would just be Direction which needs to be a majority okay are we in agreement okay yeah carry on Peter so the the last one and I want to welcome an old friend of mine
363Rick Spears who's he was a longtime teacher by principal principal at uh kfax well not a teacher you actually came in as AP yeah and so um but uh we had a request a while ago to name the stadium at kofax after Tony martello um staff is fully behind this um you have attached with you the BP and the AR which kind of the same um I firmly believe not that I know Tony that well that he completely if it'sit the bill from other things that we've named the Jud kovich building at pler the Ron Jones music hall um Fletcher Christenson field Tony meets that if not more um I have Justin and Rick to come up so they can talk more about it because I think they can do it better Justice come on
364down you have as Miss Spade mentioned earlier this is a first this is for people to have a chance to talk about it and then we come back later come on down I'm so sorry Save The Best For Last you you go first so sorry sorry y so I'll go one minute so uh if you've read my letter I'm assuming you've read my letter already I worked with Tony for 18 years at kfax high school he started as coach same year I came as a vice principal and there's been a lot of requests while I was there for naming of buildings when I was there we did one Ron poochies for the gym and Justin asked me to put my name behind this one I think um I have a little respect around I think
365I hope I do and my reputation would be at risk if I recommended someone to put a name on a building that I didn't 100% support so I 100% support this I put my reputation on Tony he deserves it um so I I I'm fully in support of it so I hope it happens so I'll let Justin go and just to tag along um you know I'm a I've been a I'm born and raised in Colefax P near my whole entire life 27 years in the district um obviously I've gotten I'm I'm the spokesman I feel like for our community number one and people hit me up regularly for this honor uh there's nothing more synonymous with kfax football than Tony martello um his his record speaks volumes for itself but more importantly it gave
366our community so much pride for decades and decades um and whether it's uh right or wrong or indifferent I mean the the tone that he was able to set with his program you know just established a culture at Co fact that was um you know just an amazing experience for a lot lot of time um now as my role as athletic director right I'm here to represent all of our athletic coaches uh you know you know we we hope that our um athletic programs ultimately uh get our kids to overachieve which Tony Martell got our kids to overachieve if you look at our opponents that we had to play year in and year out our kids overachieved uh we want our kids in our autic program to be to be proud of what they've accomplished
