Okay. 8.0 public testimony. 8.1 public comment period for items listed on this agenda. Non-aggenda items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the governing board. The public comment period is administered by state law and is the point in the meeting set aside for members of the public to share their opinions with the board. Open meeting laws do not permit the board to engage

004in dialogue or answer questions. Though it may not take action on non-aggenda items raised at the public comment period, the board, for example, may refer any matter to the superintendent for review or take action to direct staff to place a matter of business on a future agenda. No person is granted any privilege by the governing board to make statements which may be considered defamatory or otherwise actionable by other parent other persons including district officers and employees. Protocols for speakers. Any person who wishes to address the governing board on agenda and non-aggenda items within the subject matter of their jurisdiction must complete a speaker form and submit it to the executive secretary to the superintendent before the meeting is called to order. Individual speakers are allowed three minutes to address the board on each agenda item.

005The board limits the total time for public input on each item to 20 minutes. Speakers who have complaints against board members or staff are encouraged to seek resolution to those complaints by using the Rim of the World Unified School District written complaint procedure rather than orally addressing them at a meeting. The board will not respond to such complaints until the applicable complaint procedure BP AR1312.1 has been followed and has reached the board level. Where a complaint concerned concerns a district employee identifiable by name, position or other facts, the board cannot respond until proper written notice has been given to the employee pursuant to government code section 54957 decor.

Open meeting laws do not confer any privilege or protection for expression beyond that otherwise provided by law. The public's understanding and cooperation are appreciated. So, uh, with that, we have 8.2. to public comments. First, we have Kimberly Chefs representing VOE. Topic VOE lockdown. Come to and push the little red and stop. You can do this. >> I push the talk button when I'm ready. >> The red button red light. The red light. I don't see red light. Silver. Okay. Hey, good evening. Does the time go now? My

007name is Kimberly Chefs and I'm a parent of three students that attend VOE Elementary, one of which is in TK. I am here this evening to discuss the incident that occurred on campus this afternoon during the TK Kinder pickup. I was on campus during this incident. I was one of the parents that called 911 and I was one of the parents that waited for over 20 minutes for law enforcement to show up while my children were on lockdown. Sorry. First, I would like to recognize the incredible professionalism shown by our school staff. It was undoubtedly a stressful and frightening situation, but Mrs. Neggermith remained calm, composed, and focused. Our teachers did an outstanding job protecting our students and keeping them as calm as possible. When I was finally able to get my teacher, she had

008no idea what had even happened and just thought that the buses were late. Mrs. Negresmith and the BOE staff deserve recognition and gratitude for the way they handled a difficult situation. However, while the response inside the school was commendable, the response outside raises serious concerns. The delay in law enforcement response time is alarming. When an incident occurs on or near school campus, every second counts. Parents and school staff trust that when there is a potential threat involving children, emergency services will respond with urgency. While I want to be clear that I understand that the school and the school district itself is not responsible for the sheriff's response time, it does highlight the need for a stronger partnership, clearer communicate, clearer communication, and more effective emergency coordination between our schools and local law enforcement agencies. Today

009left some parents frightened and questioning whether adequate emergency support is truly in place when it matters most. This isn't about placing blame or creating conflict, but about accountability, preparedness, and student safety. We owe it to our students, families, and staff to ask difficult questions. What was the cause for the delay? Were communication protocols effective? Are current emergency response procedures sufficient? What changes can be made moving forward to ensure faster response times and future emergencies? I said the district take this incident seriously and work collaboratively with law enforcement to strengthen safety procedures and response expectations moving forward. Again, I want to sincerely thank Mrs. Neggermith, the teachers, and BOE staff today proved how deeply they care about our children. They stepped up and did exactly what they should have. Now, we need to ensure the systems

010around them do the same thing. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. when you um follow up with law enforcement and do your thing >> because we did give you >> exceed expectations. >> I will follow up uh with law enforcement and migra to address the issue. >> Thank you. >> Okay, next we have Carol Kinszel from Education Foundation. The topic is Thank you. Is she here? then we will go ahead and she will address the next board meeting. So with that we have 8.3 rim teachers association RTA representative California school employees association CSEA representative. So RTA >> Nicholas Good evening. >> I hope everyone is well. I'm Nick President. October and March may be the longest months, but May is definitely the most full. Across the district, our team members and support staff

011are preparing for and attending field days, ice cream days, pizza days, award ceremonies, assemblies, end of the year performances and field trips, finals, dances, extracurricular banquetss, IEP meetings, scheduling meetings, class composition meetings, prom night, senior scholarship night, grad night. Some of us are saying goodbye to colleagues and friends. Some are packing up classrooms and offices and turning in keys. In the last few days, we'll be cheering on our graduates, telling our students we're proud of them, and saying goodbye. These final 15 days will be full of everything this year has led up to, and then it will be over. We will head into summer break and hopefully have time to catch our breath, slow down, prioritize much neededed rest, prioritize family and our own physical and mental health. Those of us indoor all day will

012soak up some sun and vitamin D. Some of us, like myself, will focus on a better diet, something beyond pizza, chocolate, and microwavable meals. We will be refilling our cups, and we hope that you do the same so that we can return in August refreshed and ready to work together to do what's best for students. Thank you. Thank you. Next, CSA. Do we have Suzanne or someone from CS CSA? No. Okay. No speaker at this time. 9.0 reports and presentation. 9.1 Stu student representative report. Molly Gre High School. >> Don't shed any tears on my behalf. Okay. Keep it. Mom, that's a country western song. >> Don't shed any tears on my behalf. >> Yeah, >> just trying to be formal. >> Not a country girl. >> Me neither. >> Okay. Me either. Well, >>

013okay. Elementary schools, ch the end is in sight for CASP and CASP testing, and our students are doing their best to finish strong.

Stay tuned for a revamped soaring house point system in enrollment best practices and instructional time and supports coming to a school board meeting near you in August. And then last but not least, we have Rim High School. I would like to first direct your attention to the top picture of me and my friends at prom. We had a great time and I figured you'd all want to see my prom dress. I'm the one in the blue. So, she said and then I also want to add I forgot to put on the slide, but we did also host the wellness um fair I believe it was titled um a couple weeks ago. He will talk about it, but yes,

021it was great. It's super fun. So much going on. I got to volunteer and it was great. Okay, so we had our glow assembly. As an ongoing tradition, leadership put on annual glow assembly to get students through these last few weeks of school. AP tests have been successfully administered. I took five. It was horrible. I don't know why I did it. But a big shout out to Mrs. Zimmer for making sure everything ran smoothly and for getting us into the computer labs for testing. She's a goat. And then the play that goes wrong. No, really. Like I had to take my u my first test was biology and we had to take them on the Chromebooks on these tiny little desks and we were like Miss Zimmer, we can't do it. and she was like,

022"I got you. We will put you in the computer labs." And it was beautiful. Um, The Play That Goes Wrong was performed by Rim Drama and was a smashing success. Audiences young and old were entertained by the comedic and captivating performances. If any of you were not able to make it, it is such a shame because it was very, very good, very funny. Um, prom spirit week brought us some fun to our halls with decade day, twin day, country versus country club, Jersey versus Jersey Shore, and Palm Before Prom. And then, of course, we had prom um this last weekend at Victoria Country Club. And then softball, baseball, track, and mountain bike teams all had their senior nights to support their teammates. Teacher appreciation week was filled with lunchtime goodies and gratitude to celebrate all

023of our amazing teachers and staff. the spring concert was held last Friday night for our band and choir students. And then um the AVID trip, our seniors went to the Toyota Arena where they were all celebrated and it's like a crazy thing and it's like all the the schools from all the places. I don't know how big it is, but it's like the entire arena is like filled up with AVID kids and they're like yes. And then um last but not least, we are gearing up for our rush of incoming senior activities. We got a lot coming up that I couldn't put all on this thing. So if you want to know more, if you can ask me, sure. But yes, that is all it from me. Thank you. >> And in appreciation for your

024service, you know what, Dr. Siano. It doesn't always have to be about me. Okay. So, board stand up. We're going to present this awesome trophy to you for your service this year as our student rep to the board. You've been so entertaining and captivating. And I've enjoyed I know that we all have enjoyed your reports and your running commentary on them making them very, very lively. So, thank you so much, Molly. Stand right in front of us. >> Yeah, please. >> Your left a little bit more. Right. >> This way. >> I need to see Sydney over this big. Yep. A little closer >> because we wanted her in front of us. >> What? >> To be there. >> Thank you. Mom. >> And Molly, would you what are your plans after high school? >>

025Um, >> tell us. >> Save the world. >> Besides saving the world, >> save the world. Be superhero. Um, promise I didn't know there was a trophy involved when I signed up to do this. Um, >> a plaque. Sorry. >> Sorry. A plaque. Um, I'm going to Cal State Fullerton. Very excited. I'm going to be double majoring in um, business and cinema and television arts. and I'm very interested in producing or directing and also like more businessy type stuff as well. So trying to keep my options open. I just really want to find something that I enjoy doing with my life which I think should be everyone's goal. But yes, I'm very excited for the future. >> Thank you. >> And then with that Jian, I'm going to move to you because she mentioned the

026health bear. So with that we have where are we on? 9.2 governing board members reports. Jeriana, you start off because I know >> I've got a lot to say. So there one thing that I didn't look up that I'm hoping somebody else could mention is that we have an amazing musician at the high school who's going to be performing and we just got an email earlier today that there's two performances that he'll be performing in. So I didn't pull up the details before. So that said, but you can do as you wish with your time. I don't want to be directing directing you. I have several notes down here. First, um I do want to just state appreciation for for Nick's RTA comments. Um they're not always positive, but they're always um very respectful and

027um sometimes incredibly positive. And I think you do a wonderful job of representing staff and also um representing the district. So just wanted to throw that out there. Thank you. Um, quickly I want to mention, I hope it happens, but it's been up up in the air a little bit, is I think I mentioned before that my daughter works for a drone company that um has um was the one that put the Mars helicopter working with JPL, working with NASA. They they they got the um Mars helicopter up on Mars several years ago. It had 50 successful flights, which way went beyond their hope to have at least three successful flights. and she is on the team for um Ingenuity number two and she's actually one of the leaders. Yay Brim. She was a K

028through 12 Grim grad and is um one of three leaders for her company working with JPL. She has asked me on several occasions if she come up here and talk to Grim students um about the Mars helicopter possibly bringing the the twin to what is up on Mars, call it Terry, up to um the mountains as well. There's no guarantee she can bring Terry. She had hoped to come this week, but uh her schedule will end up not allowing it. So creating some chaos for R and CHG, but we're hoping she's hoping, actually she's guaranteeing, but I don't know if she's in a position to guarantee that she'll be up here on the 27th. So, um hopefully that will happen. Um and she's hoping to bring Terry up. Possibly won't be able to fly Terry

029there. You know, there is video online. There was Anderson Cooper and one of her co-workers, one of her co-leaders on 60 minutes flo. So if you want to take a look up, you can see um from a couple years ago when it was on 60 minutes and there's a slight possibility that Terry will be making an appearance up on the mountain. So that's a that's a possibility date on May 27th, which is a Wednesday, I believe. Um, Molly mentioned the Mountain Health and Resource Fair and I've got a right up here that I'd like to talk about. Before I do, I want to just express huge thank yous to Jessica Misakus and to Haftra nonprofit who organized past, you know, you know, there's now been four successful mountain health and resource fairs. This last one,

030the biggest and the best by far. They um worked along with Rotary um and um which has been involved all along. But RI parks and wreck and mountain community hospital also partnered with um um with with the school district and with Haftra and it was just an amazing success. Also want to express appreciation to Stephanie Phillips who was an amazing conduit to be able to make it as successful as it was. um NHS, National Honor Society, we had I think somewhere around 50 volunteers who did a phenomenal job. Molly being one of them and they really helped make the um the um event successful as well. Mr. Robinson also was incredibly helpful. RIP security was amazing. um the school nurse aid um Elizabeth I hope I say her name righta day I believe de um

031she was absolutely amazing day of I'll mention in a moment that um there were um eye um screenings eye exams that were happening and there was a van there or actually a big truck that was cutting prescription eyeglasses on the spot all for free and what um what Elizabeth became spaces with her right now did was she was coordinating with parents to get permissions um for students who are there during the school day and getting them pulled out of class so they can go and get these eye exams and free prescription glasses. So phenomenal. A lot of folks I'm sure I'm not thanking everybody who deserves a thank you, but it was an amazing event. So I'm going to jump ahead to the numbers. Um actually first mention that there were more than 50 booths

032and activities. Among them were free sports physicals. So CIF athletes for next year um were able to get free physicals. I'll give you the numbers in a moment in terms of how many students actually received a physical. Shout out to Kim Walker and to Dr. Marshall for performing those physicals. Um, there was dental care services, vision and hearing screens, community health and wellness resources, a mini farmers market, pickle ball activities, DJ entertainment, free bike helmets thanks to Sky Park, 50 bike helmets were given away and community raffles and giveaways and it was all volunteer run. some important numbers um of for the sport physicals 147 were completed. Now there's less than a thousand students at the high school. So greater than 15% of our student body were able to get physicals to allow them compete

033in sports next year. Approximate the value for that was about $21,300. dental care services. There were 30 dental exams, 27 cleanings that were performed, 30 fluoride treatments, 19 fillings, three extractions, and additional periodontal maintenance, ceilings, x-rays, and referrals for continued treatment. So, they weren't just doing dental exams. They were they were totally rocking it out there. They ended up having to turn away. I think there was about 15 people who were turned away. There was greater need than what we were able to provide, but what they provided was absolutely amazing. Total estimated value for the dental work about $14,600. Vision services, 113 students and community members were served. 40 pairs of reading glasses were distributed and 100 prescription distance glasses cut and dispensed on site. Amazing. 13 patients were also referred for comprehensive follow-up eye

034care in San Bernardino. Um all vision services were at no cost to our to the patients. And so um and we don't have the numbers on the hearing screenings, but there was also hearing screenings that were provided. And then just a quick story, excuse me, a quick story that demonstrates the impact. One of the most meaningful moments of the event occurred after the fair concluded. A local high school teacher shared that a student approached them nearly in tears after receiving a free vision exam and glasses. The student explained they had not realized how much they had been struggling to see until that day. for the first time they can clearly see the world around them and better access learning opportunities at school. So how impactful the health fair is. We'll be doing it next year

035in the years to come. Our community needs it. Anybody who wants to help, it's a great experience and it's incredibly impactful. So I think that's all I had to say. Just wanted to thank everybody for all the help they provided and it was an amazing amazing day. Well, thank you. >> Thank you. I just wonder about all that all the time with everything. I think it's cold. >> I just make the numbers up. >> That's Oh my gosh. >> That's not You speak true. >> Okay. Next. Jordan Zerati. >> Thank you, Madam President. Madame Vice President, you asked me to look up uh the email that we got. So, I I have it here. I pulled it up. Um, and it's an invitation to some summer events, a couple of summer events where Rim of

036the World High School rising junior and MPH alumnist Colin Hobson will perform on trumpet, America the Beautiful with the San Bernardino Symphony on June 20th, 8:00 p.m. at the San Frernardino Valley College football field. Colin has served as principal trumpet with the Sanernardino Youth Symphony Orchestra since its inaugural season two years ago. They'll perform with the Sanernardino Symphony for Patriotic Evening Concert. And on July 26th at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Los Angeles Youth Billmonic, Colin auditioned for the Los Angeles Youth Billmonic this past spring and earned the position of principal trumpet for the July 26th performance. So, uh, two huge honors, I would say. Um, yeah. and welld deserved. So definitely head out to those June 20th and July 26th. In other news, we had the CF open house last week and it was

037incredible. I think it was very well attended and one of the things that I just noticed was u how clean the campus was. Every classroom was spotless. the entire field. I mean, at at the playground, spotless there. I mean, even late at at the end of the event, there was hardly any trash or anything on the grounds anywhere. And it was nice to be able to see the community come together to see how well prepared and clean the campus was and that it stayed, I don't know, from my perception, pretty clean. I'm sure there was some cleanup work, but it was a wonderful event. Um, and I was so glad to see everybody turn out for that. We also have most of our board members say. So that was nice too to have some representation

038um this week. Looking forward to RBA um and Mountain High School's open house uh tomorrow, right? And then later this week's >> so excited about that. I'm sure everyone's anxious. >> Yeah. >> What is it? Which one's next? June 1st. >> Mountain and RBA is June 1st. They move. >> Oh, thank you. Okay, >> this one. >> Okay, I was all right. Dy noted. >> Well, I was reading rim edge of excellence actually. So, that went out today. >> Sounds like we need to check our notes. >> Thank you. But it's good. We got this corrected. So, uh, for clarity, >> move on. >> L is this week. >> All right. And RBAS and non high schools is June 1st. Thank you. >> All right. Just want to make sure I'm going to the right

Thanks everyone. >> My god, George. >> I'm gonna get You know what, dude? You did awesome. So, let it go. Scott Graph, please. >> Um, first I'd like to thank um the comments we had earlier regarding that what happened at BOE. I really do appreciate that and it raises a lot of thoughts that I have because when I visit campuses I see some of that um those areas where we can improve to keep our kids safe. I think we have to keep our kids safe no matter what. So I appreciate that. One thing I'm hoping we can look at especially with our our measure money is

040that um possibly better fencing with that school in particular. I've noticed that that that's an issue that maybe that that could help a little bit. So, I hope we look at everything that we can do to improve all our schools and the safety for our kids and teachers and staff. So, kind of keep it out. Um, I'm also very thankful for the end of the year. I know how everybody gets at this time of year and it's nice. My sister was up and she teaches somewhere else, but she has I think just two weeks left and I was like, "Oh man, I remember those days." So, um, congratulations. I think we have a m amazing teachers and staff that do a great job and all the activities that that I remember that go on at

041the end of the year. Everybody uh is so professional and they put so much extra time in to make sure all these things happen and get done which is great for our students. And so I appreciate everybody for doing that. Um, I'd like to also thank uh RCA and CSEA for their cooperation and understanding our district's situation. Um, we've moved on to the next year and I'll I'll keep saying it that I we don't pay you guys enough for what you do. It just does not happen. And I I think we all appreciate what you do for how little you get paid. So, thank you for that. And I want to give a shout out to a former student who was one of my students and great student, but she had a crazy homeline and

042she turned that crazy into a documentary and so she actually did a documentary based on her home life and it's it's number eight on Prime. So her name is Kira Gardner. So if you have a chance to watch that um you can always turn a negative into a positive. You can always turn a negative into positive. So >> thanks Scott. Thanks for advertising that I'm dysfunctional. >> I never said dysfunctional. I guess I I'm not sure whether I should pick dysfunctional or crazy. Okay. I'm just going with >> grow with the Chucky doll and see how you like it. >> My parenting skills are to be um revisited, I guess. Okay, with me. Sorry, Dr. William Melinger. >> Well, I've been derelick in my duties. I I missed the um chicken showdown at Valley of

043Enchantment. I missed the TK fashion show at Valley of Enchantment by the but and so I'm really sad about that and I even missed the um the health fair at at Rimhine. So like I haven't done anything. >> No, but he has like five million things on the shoot. >> But but there but there have been a number of very incredible things. Does anybody know who runs all the sound and light and technical stuff at the theater at Rim High School? >> Anybody know who's running those boards? And oh, look over there. Both of them are there for all kinds of events and everything. And wow, the uh the play that goes wrong, what a mess. I mean, everything was falling apart on that stage. you know, there it was incredible how how how messed

044up everything got and it was wonderful. So, the play that goes wrong, if you missed that, you missed something really special. And the kids that work uh in in our band uh and our choirs, uh those concerts were exceptional as well. Uh we've just got incredible students, incredible staff that helps make that all happen. And what I appreciate um from both of you that you really encourage the students to make the decisions and the students to lead the way and that makes Molly's no longer here but that makes people like Molly even more exceptional and so thank you and and thank you for that fashion show which I really felt bad about missing. Um uh there's been all kinds of things going on from the RTA fundraiser uh which Higher Grounds helped with the the

045Mountain Council PTA installation. Uh we've got incredible people that that are leading our PTA, Kimmy. Um and just just a lot that's going well. I want to remind you that Memorial Day is coming and it is a time to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. And I would encourage you if you're able to get out, there will be a Memorial Day celebration on Memorial Day that Monday at 11:00 a.m. at uh Samaritz Lodge. And I would encourage you to if you're able to to get out there and if you're not, just remember that you're able to play, you're able to picnic, you're able to celebrate life because others gave up their lives on our behalf. And I want to encourage you to think about that. Miss Negger Smith, you are exceptional.

046You don't just do the craziest things of any principal I know, but also to be able to handle the challenges that come along at at any given moment. And as Kim said, thank you. Thank you for being there. Thank you for a staff that cares and uh that we can uh that we can deal with crisis. And then on June 5th is coming up the MPH band and Orchestra spring concert. I encourage you if you've been missing these events, it's time to make one of them. And so to the public, uh we have just exceptional students, exceptionally talented, and and I just encourage you to to come out and and be at that. And so again, to all of our staff, including the new principal for the middle school back there, um because he's in

047a tie that I didn't recognize, >> it says me. It is you. Oh, I can hear in the voice. But but seriously, thanks to all of our staff. Um, and it and it really is everybody. It takes the whole team. It it's not only our principles, not only all of our administrators, not only all of our teachers and our classroom aids and our special ed and all the but but every secretary, every staff person, every security person, every cleaning person, every bus driver, every nurse, and oh, and even what's his name over here? Dr. for something or other. >> A bunch of craps. I don't >> to to all of our to our cabinet. Um to all the work that you all do as well. And um I'm just going to stay mad at you

048Shannon for leaving. So just that's the way it is. But we we have exceptional people and I thank you all. And for some of you who will be moving on to incredible places like is it not Oxford? Where is it? >> It's Oxford. Oxford. just that little place oxford. Yeah, just exceptional, Jeremy. So, thank you to to everyone and uh let's let's continue to finish. Well, >> thank you. Um so, just I did see the play that goes wrong. Just thought it was so funny, but I just I there's a lot of hard work. I want to say kudos to the the behind thescenes kids because slapstick is really hard. It's a lot of timing. That set really had to come apart at the right cube and um that's a lot of rehearsal between tech

049and the actors and and the actors were brilliant. I mean I they just really were. It wasn't a painful experience. You know how some times where you go to place even even some at almond where you're like oh this is really >> you mean it was planned to fall apart. >> Yeah. >> So thank you um for the not only just the the acting and and bringing those kids along in acting but also the tech. That is some brilliant work and it's hard and it doesn't go recognized very often. So that there's that. I do want to thank RTA Sydney for reaching out and inviting us to the fundraiser. I um I was there only like 45 minutes but because I had to go to the play but um it was awesome to get in

050a fundraising fight with Scotch Prep. So I appreciate that and thank you for allowing us to compete against each other. >> Awesome. Thank you. And it's all for scholarships are today's scholarships. So, I thought that was brilliant. And I do want to say too that um M P I I learned the M P band did go to the elementary schools and drum up show off their talents and as a result the M P uh music classes are full. So, I just think that is such a great sign for building a program like the Nicholases are doing, building the M PH program to feed into the high school program. I just think that's so brilliant and they're so talented, those kids. So, thank you for reaching out to the elementary schools, Miss Ro and and the

051person apparently who's new at MPH the tie. So, um I really appreciate that. I do want to say thank you to um Jeremy Montiel, Jeremy Montiel. Um I really loved the the um new takes that you brought to Mountain and to RVA like the Sar House and um modeled off Harry Potter houses and winning points for activities. I think that's such a brilliant concept and relatable especially to the elementary level RBA students. I just really thought that was and your kindness. You're really kind where I probably wouldn't be kind. And so thank you so much for your kindness. And then Brian Heeney, I want to thank you for it's been a pleasure to work with you this year um on PTA. I I really will not ever ever forget do not stop cloning. I really

052won't. But it was such a pleasure to um support your efforts to raise that middle section of kids with GPA bump with all these really fun incentives and of course your little party on wheels, your little um music on wheels, bringing it everywhere you go. I think it's the legacy for me at least from what I saw at PTA was um a lightheartedness and a and a sense of fun and a sense of let's let's have some fun even during testing week and I just um I appreciate that legacy of of bringing fun into it all. I love I am gonna miss the cheesy dad slogans, but there you go. So, >> and then oh my it really is cheese. And I do want to thank all the principles. I mean, I don't I don't

053work as closely, but I do know what you do. I love the fact that Tracy, your whole family is involved in CH. Your kid is in the Rocky Raccoon outfit. I just Jackie, I just love working with you. It's like, "Oh, can we do taco salad bars or Yeah, sure. Sounds great." So, I just appreciate all of you for your um all that you give to your schools and all the relationships you create with your parents, your staff, and and with your PTAs, too. Very greatly appreciated. And then I do want to thank I I know I was get I like to tease him just because he has the word doctor in front of his mouth in in front of his title, but I do want to say that Dr. Saviano um I personally appreciate

054all the programs under your tenure so far that you have brought and cultivated. adult education, a much needed program in our community, preschool, the dual enrollment, um, coupled with making sure that we do not lower our a the AP rigor in the classroom. Um, I appreciate the fact that you're trying to work out, uh, with Mountain and RBA doing the CTE um, course pathway completers. How can we do that? Working with firm high school and with egeneuity uh CTE electives. All of all of those programs we have in the past spoken about and now we're actually executing them and I appreciate the fact that you are you have given us stability when we needed it and and I appreciate um the fact that you you really do set a goal with the board in in

055collaboration with the board and you follow through and you give us updates every Friday and and with a extensive action plan of 22 pages. Um, and >> expensive >> not expens extensive, dude. Extensive and I I appreciate the fact that the amount of communication that you keep with us um is very much appreciative. I I went to CSBA delegate assembly this weekend in Sacramento and um listening to board members from other boards. It it's not always that way. Um there and I walked away from CSBA not only stating my opinion on those dang EV buses again but also just coming away with the appreciation of our staff, our cabinet, our superintendent and and our board. I I really really appreciate our board um and and our governance team of our cabinet superintendent and board. I

056think it's a strong one and I I think that other people other districts do not have that strength of governance and I really believe and the fact that you tolerate my ability to not say no that I can't say no to people and you're okay with it even though you do say your opinions but thank you very much for everything that you have um done for our district at this point. We do appreciate. Sorry to tease you so much, but we appreciate you. So, with that, >> before you move on, Madam President, I did forget to uh at least a couple of other items. One was um I'm appreciative of the brand new official principal that we have at CH and the open house and science. Well, it's exceptional. I'm glad that you're going science

057night again there. And and that leads me to the other one that I forgot and that is the Lake Arrowhead Invention Convention, which wow was incredible. It's so it's so neat to to actually meet with the students and have them talk about their different projects and the and how they developed those projects and what they were putting together in those various projects. So ladies, excellent job and I I'm proud of all the schools that that we have here. And yes, um Dr. Seviano, we do appreciate you. Uh we thank you for the leadership that you give, for the stability that you brought, for the willingness to train and and the patience that you showed. Thank you. >> Yeah, I did like the sock putter honor. That was one of my favorites, the sock putter honor

058because I don't tie my shoes. So now to have something where I don't even have to bend down to put my socks on, that's brilliant stuff right there. >> Yeah. So funny. Okay, now moving on to wait. Oh, okay. Sorry. 9.3 of the superintendent, Dr. Paul Seaniano. >> Thank you. And I also want to thank the board for the comments tonight. And we have a terrific team, terrific group of teachers, support staff, and administrators that really is an outstanding school district and great parents as well. And students most importantly just want to talk a minute about students. uh had an opportunity to listen to students the other night in our LCAP student uh meetings and we met with the high school as well as the middle school. We'd love to extend that down to fifth

059graders to the elementary to really listen, you know, what are the needs that students are saying that we need to to look at as a district to to obviously continuous improvement in those areas. And that was really engaging. I enjoyed the students comments uh very age appropriate it seemed like between the two and uh but really they're the voice that drives what we do and we need to listen to students as much as we can to to meet to meet their needs. Um the other one was the parent LCAP meeting. We had a really good turnout uh for that and we moved it to Rim High School for the first time in the library. I didn't think we were going to get that kind of turnout. We got a great turnout. uh the parents really

060are appreciative all the good things we're all doing for their children and I think that was what I took away from that mina kind of test that what do you think about this and what we Jennifer talked about the LCAP priorities and what they prioritize not only the students but also the parents in terms of what they see as priorities we see one set of of data and circumstances about you know where should we put our focus yet the parents really hone in the students really hone in on the priorities for us and they were spot on with the direction we need to go as a district and I thought that was very valuable. The other program I want to just highlight and I know we have a lot more work to do on it.

061We just started we brought back our gate program for grades uh third through fifth and I know we it's a starting point and I know everybody you know looks at it from a standpoint of what can we do? How do we get more students identified or how do we identify students as best we can in terms of gifted and talented education? You know, we went from single measures that a few years back to multiple measures and you know, maybe they're a little more broad and maybe we need to to look at some others, but you know, um the the turnout that we had for the gate was really impressive. Uh I had talked with a group of parents who brought their children there and they were just so thrilled that we're bringing the program back

062and it's really about enrichment for students. Now they got to get up crack dawn though uh get their children there but uh they were very appreciative of the fact that we're doing something to help enrich students and build confidence and that's really what gate really does is it builds confidence in students and uh and I think Jackie you said it best with you know enrichment and really focusing on that need to enrich students lives. I also want to thank our elab coordinator coordinator Kaylee Mania who uh stepped up and provided funding for uh really create developing materials that really enhance creativity and critical thinking and enrichment for these students. Um and the feedback from our parents has just been outstanding. I want to also thank Jen Whiteside uh you know putting together the program and

063we we had a long conversations about how should we um how should how should it look and how should how can it meet student needs and I think we you know more work to be done there but I think we're on the right road there for for really enriching those students lives. So with that I think I've concluded my comments and I want to thank the board for their comments tonight. Thank you. Thank you. And speaking Maggie, the the superintendent really did listen to us. One thing that came out of the equity and social justice committee was the student voice and how important that student voice is. And we really emphasized to Dr. Saviano when he he began working with us that we didn't want that to die. that we wanted to continue those those

064meetings with students to really give them completely unfiltered space to say exactly what they wanted to say about the their their lives while we have them during that time each day. So, appreciate the fact that we are we are continuing that uh student voice through our process and that we're getting to the littles. The littles crack me up. I can't wait to hear what they have to say. So, with that, we're going to move on to um 9 was it probably 9.4 >> 9.4 educational services presentation of the 202526 school highlights at Mary Platinum Pink of PH Intermediate Expo a Mr. Gomes. >> Apparently, Mr. Gomes will never wear ever again. Let me see if the words. >> Yeah. >> Good evening. Um, thank you to the board of education and the executive cabinet for

065allowing myself and Mr. K to serve MPH students, staff and families. Certainly. Um on the first slide, uh we have accomplished uh many things at NPH uh with our initiatives in our three years there. Um we're very proud of some of the work we've done and it's been guided through our guiding coalition um our group of teachers that commit to once a month coming and sitting in a room and making some major decisions that really impact student learning. Uh we rely on our teacher teams, our classified teams, student input and parent advocacy to kind of shape the direction that we go. Uh we have committed to the um to assessments um to our GBC and our PLC process. Our district assessments, our school assessments and state assessments are something that we take very seriously at

066MH. We have to as we test all grade levels in most subjects. Uh while we're doing this, we've committed to data chats and committed to creating actionable agreements out of those data chats to improve student outcomes and to improve teaching learning. Um while doing this, we've created an identity um and have guided this work through forming a collective equip a collective commitment and mission and vision which was spearheaded by Mrs. Ro and I would uh pass it over to her to talk us about that process. Thank you everyone. It's a pleasure being here. Thank you James. That was a great intro. Miss Marshall left. >> So we like we said we're happy to be here to lead teaching and learning. However, we cannot do it without the teachers without that guiding coalition. Um we empower

067them to tell us what do we do? What are we going to do? because there's all these demands of the CDA's uh GBC all of these things right so we came together um and decided what do we have to do we have to have some commitments here from the teachers to have that accountability to get the work done and so the process we didn't start with our mission and vision we kind of went backwards we we had to come up with our collective commitments first and so all the teachers gathered their ideas right like what are we going to do what do we need to do and just started posting everything around the room um we saw of course a lot of things in common teach or teachers are wonderful they want equity they want

068identify essential standards they want they want to do all these things and it's amazing when you see it all on the wall of the things that they want to accomplish and so we started gathering okay this is these were the top 12. So we came up with their top 12 and then there was a voting process. And so when you look at this document, there's a lot of meaning than just these words, right? So it says we work together as one team. One team. We're are we are all NPH. Um we're going to identify and teach the essential standards. We're going to honor each student's unique qualities. Right? We say we're an inclusive school. Do we really mean it? Right? That's all qualities, talent, um, all all around, right? Language. We're going to pursue continual

069improvement. We're always we're lifelong learners. We're going to continue to learn. Teachers are going to continue to learn learn. So, we need to have that in there. Embrace shared responsibility, right? That was a big one. Um, just making sure that again they're all of our kids, not just the kids in my class or their class. So, it's something that we're going to continue to work and these are our values. So, we put um these are great. We're just so proud of the work that came out of that room. Um which couple of months later, we're like, well, where's our mission? What's our vision? We we need that, right? We need to be able to say it. And we have to start by answering the question, why is M PH there? Why do we exist? So

070why do we exist as our mission? We all said, well, we're a learning institution, right? Collectively ensure high levels of learning for all students. And then what do we need to do? What do we want to become is our vision. This the mission was easy, right? We want all kids to learn. Pretty simple. But the vision was a little bit more complicated. We had to keep coming back to it, back to it because every single word in here is intentional, right? We have to safety number one priority right we have we can't have vision without being safe respect inclusive community where every student learns through intentional collaboration and PLC driven practices now that's loaded that's why there's an asterk there what are PLC practice driven practices our parents don't know that so it's going to

071take time to communicate what does PLC look like in this district so we came up with like with her poster and using everything that we learned with um through Jane Ardell everybody knows her. She's amazing. So um we that is distinguishes I think us from other PLC's that we number one have a clear focus on student learning two collaborate shared responsibility use data to guide instruction and immediate support and enrichment which is where the exit tickets and all that comes in. So, it's all very nicely laid out in this document that we um just have to to write. It's how we run our programs. It makes life really easy to have a student centered mission and vision. You just move forward from there. >> Yes. Um speaking of our peer learning community at MPH, we

072have follow the um learning by doing models, we have uh the three big ideas, focus on learning, build a collaborative culture and um focus on results. We first start started by identifying the essential standards and then we've evolved from there. Uh the hardest piece is creating action from the data. uh we are at that stage now and we we are very proud of that. We've committed to data and chats not only data chats with laying out a plan of what are we going to do with that data to improve teaching and learning. Our four critical questions that we look at uh during every team collaborative meeting. Um these all don't have to be answered all in the same meeting. Uh you can be very focused or very broad depending on the direction of the team

073that day. um what do we want students to learn? How will we know if they've learned it? What will we do if they don't learn it? And what will we do if they already do know it? So, what are intervention in activities? And what are enrichment activities? Right? You have that plan every day for every lesson um for 180 days. You uh life is a lot easier and the students really respond to that uh that message. Um we're on year two of solution tree. we are aware of uh what our PLC is. Um I've kind of talked about our solution tree journey already. Um, and where we are at now is is an exciting time to to follow through with all of our procedures that we set in place and to get to a place

074where um we move to the next level of best student outcomes through the data review and implementing positive change. Whether that be in teaching, whether that be in a small group, whether that be in in enriching a certain area for students or even >> um we our positive assessment culture. We we make a commitment to our assessments. Um we take it personal um how uh the MPH's administration's actions impact actions and beliefs in impact um staff and students. So we we like to reward positive testing um and positive testing habits of students. Um we like to keep everybody informed of of why assessment is important and what is the purpose and why are we doing it. um which with the amount of assessments that we have moved to has been an easier journey than than

075I thought for our our staff at NPH. They they have really bought in. Um our guiding coalition sees the value, they see the urgency, they see the need. Um so we created uh GBC days, prep days. um the student success fair that we launched in October that we had implemented new positive changes to um senator show certificates of completion for assessments in-n-out gift cards for perfect attendance during the assessment month of May already based teacher feedback testing block support so we changed our schedule almost every year >> to to to get every kid tested Yes, we got it best as we've had this year. So, we moved first period to the last period and we tested all first period and we created this really clever way to get the kids at their lunch. The teachers

076all have the same prep and everybody's uh working equitably for student outcomes and students really did respond and we practiced this assessment block schedule in February um during our ready assessment. So it gets optimal time to test I ready which is a longer assessment or longer diagnostic within our pass testing schedule. So we uh come up with some clever ways instead of guiding coalition to to figure out time and space for these assessment staff. And not to get ahead of ourselves, but we couldn't help but looking at Tom's data, says Tom's state. Well, see, I was in a hurry. Tom's data today. Um, it's exciting. Today's hot off the press, we have in cast 88.10 >> 98.10 um completion rate. And then ELA, same in math like we're over 97%. So, the numbers may change.

077We know that a little bit. But over here our grade level 37 and >> subtracting our opt outs. We we um we've created a spreadsheet for every student for every testing subject for every grade level that we have been documenting um as artifacts every completion. So we we are confident >> that you are okay. Um, this MDMTSS, this multi-dimensional, multi-tiered systems of support, it's something very close to us. I It's the the D, the multi-dimensional. There's four. So fun. Creates a threedimensional. That's right. Um, it is how we run our school. It is something that we are all committed to. Our teachers can quote, and our students know what they're going to get when they're where. Um, we have added to this. We recently have partnered with the Mountain Humane Society to bring their cute

078doggies to campus once in a while as a reward and as a place for students to come and and relieve some stress. Um, we have peer and one, two, and three supports for all four dimensions of academics, attendance, behavior, social emotional. They're all noted and they're all real. They're all data driven and they're all things that we have in place instantaneously for students and families to receive the sports they need. >> One thing I want to mention here is like we launched our intervention practice for our teachers to know to have that alignment and how to know um what interventions to give so that we don't immediately jump into like a class suspension for example for a certain behavior. So like there is a progression and so like the teachers now have that as a

079guide so that teachers know the expect like so students moving classroom to classroom know it's pretty much the same expectation right there's a warning usually depends right there's a warning then there's a you know parent contact then you get to that lunch detention then class suspension so we're we're seeing that alignment um more throughout MH which I think is great for culture because the kids know um the expectations that are going going to be the same from class to class. That's another thing. And Mount Lion Club, uh Mr. Fernandez, I just want to say, is phenomenal counselor at M PH. He's helped uh us just, you know, improve culture in general. He created this mountain lion club. You heard about karaoke. Like that's his idea. He's meeting with kids during lunches. They're coming up with

080these fun tier one engagements, right? to keep the kids motivated to do good things and um then have fun, right? Learn and have fun. >> I believe in last year's board updates, I said something like this was going to happen and Mr. Jordana and Mlin or Trusty Renee said, "Well, how are you going to work out a student club to get students voices in there?" I said, "Oh boy, I said something that I then we have a lot of student representation there." And actually some of those students were in the student LCAP committee as well. Right. >> And just moving along there, we have now a MDM MTSS committee um that meets with counselor, admins, teachers and again how what are we what are these activities are doing for kids um tier one. So in

081in the year we've never had student awards were middle school but we thought that why not have student awards and how we could implement this at the middle school level. And so in January we met and we created well January you know kids are writing prepositions new year's resolutions and things so we have a future focus and that's in our alignment with our um values right and beliefs core values and beliefs so we have future focus February Valentine's Day so we have a who's a model friend who's modeling those behaviors March lifelong learner April of course is going to conquer CASP May final stretch and then June we have changed for good award or like the most improved. So these are new these awards are new. We haven't developed September October. That's to come in

082the next couple of um meetings when we meet with the committee. But it's something now you walk into M PH and our trophy case displays the the students that receive and what I'm seeing is that there's multiple students in each category for each month. So you're able to honor a lot of um a lot of students and and be able to really spread the spread the the the joy here, right? >> Yes. As as opposed to our somewhat exclusive uh awards at the end of semesters for grades and attendance. This is gives a chance for other students. >> Y co- teaching. So, we've implemented a lot of progress to go along with our already award-winning inclusion program. It's award-winning for students and in no other reason. Uh, we're committed to teaching every student the standards

083uh and believing that every student has the ability to to master set standards. We have uh created a new uh student academic support class along with collaboration with East Valley Sulpa. Um it is a code class where we are targeting students for 6 to 8 weeks at a time and hopefully have an elective lined up with their schedule that period that we can get them right back out and if not we can always get very creative with our scheduling. Um we have instructional assistant support in math, ELA, science and social science. Um we have cohorts go to all the subjects. Some come with teachers and aids. We are very clever within our master schedule to offer multiple opportunities supports while keeping numbers down um per class. We demonstrate a commitment to continuous growth by training,

084supporting and learning from one another. Uh we have our own teachers kind of leading our understanding of what co-eing is and what within the six or eight models depending on what book you're looking at which one are we going to use and how are we going to ensure that we have two teachers in the classroom and not one teacher in the classroom within another teacher in the classroom just being there. Uh we realize the value of two teachers in the classroom. We appreciate the uh ability to grant us the right to do that with our master schedule. It is working. Our co-eing um is not one teach one sit back. We we have multiple um classroom where teachers are teaching at a time. They're taking student groups. They're dividing students and conquering learning and enriching

085through these researchbased proven co-eing models that are kind of self-taught self-grown from within genius. ALD >> um end of year highlights we just thought um we want to share that there's a community in these EL classes it's really home they've learned uh to have a growth mindset in there it's not about it's about accepting where they are in their journey really just you know we talk about data chats but they're not just happening like okay let's sit down and have data chat like an everyday thing like you know where you are this is where you're headed to um and so we can really see that with in Miss Hernandez's class, she highlighted that with I Ready scores, how they really celebrated, how they celebrate that improvement. They had an eskee uh party where it was

086like, "Okay, I'll look at our scores." And they all went up. And so it was a community celebration in the classroom. And then Mr. Neil has done an amazing job and having the students present, really shine in that listening and speaking domain. So they're starting to feel comfortable just getting up in front of their peers and talking and presenting which for a lot of ELD people it's very hard to and challenging to get over um because you have some insecurities right that you have to work through. So it's wonderful to see how they're shining in those areas. >> Okay, we're almost done. >> Yeah, you guys are doing great. uh community engagement. We want to bring the community in. We want to have our partnerships. We want um as much input into the school as

087can be had to improve student enjoyment of campus and community's enjoyment of campus as well. We partnered with RIMED Whoop PTA mount counseling and training rim family services arts and many many more. rocking this every girl counts club. Um we'll do the same lake classical ballet mile high so many great organizations that um partner with MPH to give our not students just an opportunity but after school sports is is is important and we don't offer that at MPH. So our local vendors are there every day practicing either basketball, volleyball, baseball and it's fun to see when you look out your window at the end of the day your camp's full of life still. um outreach upholding our core beliefs and align actions with cross school site collaboration. We went to the elementaryaries this year which

088was so fun. Brainchild of Mrs. Ford and Mr. Fernandez. Let's let's fill our sections up. Let's show them the great things we can do. Let's take it the show to them. Which was it was exciting. We did the Whitney Houston challenge along with that trip at all three schools. It was great. Um, we've have the Lions to Scots tutoring program. I don't know if you guys saw the logo, but it's mountain lion dressed up in a kilt. It was fantastic. So, couple of uh the great room high students come and and support tutoring and they also get credit for what will they get credit for? National Honor Society. >> Yeah. >> So, it's a it's a it's a great and the students really respond to that closer to their age group learning. Um, we have

089the rim sports and core academics come to MPH and we have the incoming sixth grade barbecue. Um, 22nd from May 29th. You guys are all invited. Thank you all. Super fun. >> Thanks for those are just some of our highlights pictures fabulous job in her last concert. >> And I do want to spend just a second thanking all of our electives program teachers of Miss Nick and Mr. Jackson. the the teachers that took on sixth grade art and are avid teachers if you're offering some enrichment activities when we don't have the most available opportunities to to to have the the fanciest classes. So we are they do the greatest work. >> We also want to thank Mr. Longto and Mr. Wallace for supporting us facilitating a lot of that mission and vision collective commitment work.

090very instrumental to that process. That's it. Thank you. This time >> questions. Is there questions? Hope there was some questions. Yes, that's you guys. >> You guys hard work that MPH has put in is really showing just walking around campus, hearing it around town, seeing it on Facebook. The positivity is really, really making a difference. I'm excited about the future and what you guys have created. It's taken a lot of work from everybody on campus at MPH and it it's going to only mean positive things for the students. So, thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you, Miss. It's indicative of our staff as a whole >> and leadership. >> One of the things that sadly seems to go with the middle age middle the the student at the middle school is the issue of bullying and

091it seems like that's always going to happen in that junior high age group. What are we doing to try to continue to combat that to communicate with parents about the challenges? I mean, I've known students who at one time were complaining about bullying and then they were the bully and and that happens kind of that movement of people. So, but but tell me about what's happening in the area of what we're doing about bullying. So we have two huge like behavior expectations assembly at the beginning of each semester. And so one of the biggest things that works is our student statement forms. We encourage our kids. I can't help you if you don't come and tell me about it. So sometimes they say, "Well, I don't want to be a snitch." Right? But in their

092words, I don't want to tell. They say, "You're not. You're really advocating for yourself." And once I get them in the room and we say, "There's ways of protecting you staying anonymous. We have cameras, we have bus footage, we have things that doesn't have to come, hey, so and so came to tell me there's staff members. So I think that really creates a safe environment for reporting. And so kids, you should see the report, the amount of reports that we get that get addressed immediately. Calling parents is huge. giving them that reassurance that we're not just that we heard it, we documented it, and that we're taking the necess progressive interventions to address the behavior. I may not be able to tell exactly what we're doing, but we're doing something. >> Well, and that's one

093of the challenges. We can't say to that parent what we're doing with that parent's child. However, what are some of those progressive steps that that are done without talking to that? A lot of restorative justice tense like we get kids in the room talking. A lot of it is just misunderstandings, rumors that are not truth, post things. I'm like, "Well, why are you looking at it?" We bring in the counselor for support. Um, I facilitate those conversations, Mr. Gomes and and the counselor. And then we always ask the kids if they want to do it. Most of the time they do. We create that safe space again for them to to work it out. And if not, there's no contact contracts. that is also very effective because it creates like this invisible boundary of like

094I've made it clear that I want this type of respect and so if it's violated then we go into okay well there's on campus interventions and you know all these other things that are listed in our matrix but yeah those those talking to parents about what we do onetoone goes a long way because at delegate assembly one of the big pushes by CSBA is to minimize the reporting requirements for all of those different awesome bills. And part of the reasoning is that when we make administrators and and staff do more and more and more then we're taking you away from h having those relationships with parents as well as students which creates the environment where parents don't feel heard because they they don't you don't have that relationship. You're not able to mitigate right away.

095You're not able to have one-on-one right away. And so therefore, you get the complaints, you get the UCPs and things like that. So I just it it does go hand inand that you have that relationship, you're able to to get on top of it right away and make everybody feel heard and feel listened to and respected that it it minimizes your complaints. So good job. >> Great with that. Anything else? Yeah. >> Sorry, Jordan. >> It's okay. I feel like we glossed over MDM NTSS. >> So good. You got got an hour. >> Graphic. >> It's a really cool looking graphic. Is that something that you all develop? Is there literature they could send my way to read up on? >> I know that the writings on there are super tiny, but it's like basically

096all of our interventions. So you can see me for example like a where does the 504 in that uh pyramid? Where's the IEP? or the restorative justice conversations that tier one the assemblies would be termed. So it really lays out all the different things that we do the start meetings the start meetings that would be tier three. So it helps staff um and parents like see this is everything that we do have all the supports that we have at the different tiers. So I think if we should wait then we should blow it up next year show up. >> Yes. And we'll we'll send you any information requested for sure. things all interesting. Yeah. >> Yeah. It's it's something that is is all-encompassing. It's a really good way to organize your supports and and track

097it, you know, where you are need to know. >> I appreciate it. Thank you. >> Yeah. To Jordan's point, I don't know. Just I haven't seen that kind of a presentation. Definitely heard a lot about MTSS, but seeing I I like the the graphic in the way that it does go up to that pinnacle, but >> but the four dimension, you know, that's really super cool. >> Thank you. We think so, too. >> Yeah, he says look. >> I think that was funny. Good. We're going He just said in another dimension. There you go. >> All right. So, with that, next we're gonna go to >> 9.5 educational services presentation of the AVID. AVID is the advancement via individual report and highlights for the school year at Mary Hank Intermediate School, MPH. Oh, wait. Same

098guy. >> Yeah. All right, Mr. Gomes. >> What? >> Good evening, board of trustees and executive cabinet. Thank you for having me and allowing me to speak on the uh wonderful program of AVID at MPH and the thing that we do for students with our free segments of AVID. One of those which you guys kind of support. So, thank you. Um, AVID is going very well at MPH. It was something that a whole monster I had to wrap my head around. There is its own unique curriculum nuances and languages that are so specific and targeted for for the reason that they work. Um, we've had a great time in our AVID sections of our Avid mission. Um, equip every student with the tools, strategies, and confidence. Well, it is the mission. Confidence to thrive beyond

099middle school and beyond. Um, collegebound mindset, exposure to higher education, pathways, um, from day one. Proven strategies, note-taking, organization, and collaborative inquiry, student ownership, collaboration, and accountability as core values. our AVID classes. You will see um we do the tutorials, the Avid notebook checks, uh the organizational strategies all in the hopes to give students those skills and our our mission remains strong to to get the first generation students uh to to be college prepared. Um the pillars writing coordinate notes, reflective journals, refures, writing across subjects. This happens in all three of our sections. Inquiry students drive learning through higher order questions. Some of the the AVID tutoring is fantastic. We get small groups of AVID students together and they can choose the topic that they want. The teacher chooses the topic for that day and

100they work on and self-train and self-tutor and collaborative learn on something they are being taught at that moment um in their core academic class. peer-to-peer learning and shared accountability, reading, disciplinary disciplinary literacy bumped into every content area. Uh here's a picture of one of our guided or collaborative tutoring sessions happening. >> Mr. Bl, do you have the clicker? >> Oh yeah, sorry. We got the pictures right in front of you. Thank you. Um students arrive with questions from class. Uh they teach each other in structured small groups. You will see some of the more light bulb moments happening during these good AVID sessions. Um with some generous donations. We've purchased some even better new uh whiteboards for next year's AVID tutoring. Um we cover all four co core subjects guided by higher level questioning. build

101confidence through peer explanation and reinforces critical thinking, not wrote answers. They do not suggest regurgitation of facts is one of their >> you know AI just kidding. >> Not unless they're principal notes capture key ideas and reviews. Um, so, so some of the strategies and how they're used, the Cordell notes, if you've ever seen them, they divide the paper in two with kind of like a dictionary, the definition on the left and response to what that word means on the right and how to use it. Binder checks, organized materials, ensure accountability, study habits, plan, primitize, and execute studying. what this looks like. Structured uh format for every class for putting on notes the same every time. Mind organization checks, regular accountability reviews to keep students on track. I think organization is probably one of the

102areas that um we have identified as the biggest one of the biggest obstacles of turning in work and learning the work and retrieving the work and getting to the work. Even digital organization has become somewhat of a problem. not a problem but a matter that we need to work with and address with students. Um planner use daily planners and we use those practice as well on fun Fridays. Avid does a lot of engineering and experimental projects that they have a great time with. These pictures that you will see right now are of students building a circle or round object out of Pringles. Um they do many fun activities. the teachers spend Fridays rewarding positive um avid classroom behavior with small group activities that are guided by the students where they don't realize they are quite

103creating something wonderfully um with their own genius as a small group. We had an incredible opportunity thanks to the Rimmed Foundation um to go to Cal State University San Bernardino and some connections that they had there were shared with us. We had a small group private tour for 81 students broken up into small groups. It was the highlight of their year. Thank you. It was um >> teamwork time spent Yeah. Thank you. They went to the gym. Uh Cal State has some top-notch facilities. It has come such a long way. They have one of the very few climbing walls of any university in the state for some reason, but it's their claim to fame. They have a bowling alley. They have beautiful landscape fountains and observatory that is uh one of the top in its

104class. It's has everything the students needed. they many students wanted to commit that day to go to Cal State San. >> So that I think that is so important to actually take kids on a college campus so that they can see the light, the vibrancy, all the resources that are there for them for free even and um of course the food court. But what but the thing is is to >> so that they can you know what I'm saying? off. I was going to say UCLA has an awesome food court, but Jordana would just like rub that in my face all the time. But I'm I'm see but it's just the fact that >> they don't they when they actually see what is going on on a campus, it really triggers the light bulb to

105go on for them about the possibilities that college can offer them. That it's not just more rigorous classes. And when they start hearing that they get to choose their classes and that, wow, you mean music theory class can actually be a, you know, satisfy my math requirement. Things like that. That those kinds of possibilities, those kinds of conversations from the tour guides or like the UCLA trip to um by the high school students and Shelby Gross doing the tour. It really is amazingly impactful. And they don't have to go to college, but just being on that college suddenly gets them thinking about what if this is super cool. What if I do this? What if I do that? And and that is just so impactful and I love it. I love these field trips. I

106think they're so important. All right. Sorry for interrupting. >> Uh they uh had a student panel. So after they organized this crazy tour, they had six of us, six groups, and they took every group to a different place and then went and circled around and all ended up into this building at the same time where there's three college students waiting for us to answer all all these questions and and and it was so well executed. Um, thank you to Cal State University for putting on that. They put on a great show. Next slide please. That's it. My side is AVID is working. >> AVID is working at M PH skills for life note takingaking organization and inquiry for to carry forward for lifelong learning college culture. Some students will be a lot more like you

107said more interested in pursuing college or at least having um being able to talk in the same communication about what a college looks like one day which can lead to further great things and community collaborative goals align students who lift each other up through all the collaboration small group work they achieve. >> Thank you so much. Do we have any questions? I it's funny. I when I was growing up in San Diego, um I think my high school, they loaded up a bus and did did the um junior field trip and we did, you know, ton of colleges up and down the coast of well also the Inland Empire and um it was like a precursor to the formalized AVID program and um it just it it makes an impact and just envisioning your future

108of like all the possibilities are endless. I mean, it really is all the possibilities. And so, it's really um amazing that this also gives them those those skills that literally are for light like organization. I wish Karen had learned that a little bit better, but that's okay. She was never an added. But it's just those kinds of of of and the peer and the peer support is huge. When you listen to the advocates speaking about the program, um they really do lift each other up. So it's a great program. Bill, >> one of the things that our board has worked on and wanted was to see aid principles to be developed across our school district. But remind me what grades are being actually are actually in Abid. >> This six, seven, and eight. >> All

109three are >> okay. Cuz at one time we were just going to do one grade, right? >> No, that they started with one grade. >> But we're now all three. >> Yeah, we we have three sections and whatever grade level you're in goes to that corresponding number of aids. So, you won't start in scavenger one as a eighth grader if you take it for your first time. >> Good. Thank you. >> You know, I just want to thank you um because I remember you as a student and it's you're fantastic. >> A great example though. I knew you were a leader back then, but you're a great example of our staff and teachers and everybody that was a former student here at our schools. And so, um it's it's nice to see this. So, thank

110you. >> Thank you, Trusty Graph. No, I just um when Cindy was talking as far as the bus tour and also just planting a seed for students, I thought about something that an accomplishment this year that about the automatic acceptance into Cal State San Bernardino and having the opportunity for students to go in middle school, see the campus, and be able to know, hey, I need to perform at this level and I know I'm going to be able to go here is really phenomenal. So, I'm just thinking that that all ties in so that it takes out that question mark, they can go ahead and go elsewhere as well. But having them know if I do this, I will be able to go there and that's pretty dang cool. >> Guaranteed. >> Exactly. those opportun

111we're breaking down barriers and it helps break down those barriers because it gives especially the first generation students that um confidence and then when you have the automatic acceptance to a place like Cal State San Bernardino it it's guaranteed for them that they I got accepted and I didn't have all these hurdles to to climb in terms of application essay right all that stuff so it's really fantastic anything else okay then moving on Thank you so much, Miss Bet and Mr. Gomes. We've got 9.6 educational services presentation avid advancement via individual determination report and highlights for the 2526 school year at Room of the World High School RHS and Mr. Keany the Let's see if you have any cheesy slogans. >> What's that? >> Donut quit added. Not quite. Here we go. >> Okay, we're

112ready. Good evening, trustees and the cabinet. Thank you so much for having me. Excited to talk about AVID um our program this year with its impact this year. Um so we'll get going. Uh first and foremost, so we have four sections of AVID. So one for each grade level. We've been able to maintain that for um several years and that's the plan continuing to next year as well. 114 students total. We shoot for about 30 per section. We do notice a little bit of a drop 12th grade year. Um but other than that, I want to connect to what Mr. Gomes and Mr. we're sharing about the NPH but um AVID program feeding into ours and that that continuity is making a big difference for our students um as their opportunities carry into the high

113school. Um so a few pictures for you there as far as the those are our teachers but um actual skills that AVID sets out to build um you start with 9th and 10th grade you're looking to build the socratic seminar the tutorials which is our tutoring that's Tuesdays and Thursdays um the academic skills the executive function all those things to the 11th and 12th grade highlights are more much more college centered um with our field trip uh in 11th grade and then of course BASA and actually Powerpuff is coming up this week um but a number of other activities for seniors. So throughout the progression starts as academic high school survival. We'll get into that um a little bit later. Goals first and foremost it's sharing the AVID strategies. they use this wicker acronym, but

114taking those strategies and bringing it to the rest of our staff. So, while it's just the four sections, it's trying to use those strategies across our school and within our PLC's specifically for EL for English learners and our special ed students as well. Um, and one of those would be trying to get focused notes and interactive notes. Mr. Gomes spoke about that earlier of trying to get that across departments. I know science has adopted it in a number of their courses as well as history as well. It's just effective. I mean AVID is almost metacognition like students learning how they learn better and how to organize their ideas and summarize and synthesize and that's where Abbott can really make a difference across um our different departments. Uh, another goal that attitude me team made last

115summer was just to meet monthly. Sounds like a easy goal, but people's schedules are hard to work around. So, we meet once a month after school just to talk about the sections, the programs, um, trainings, and then also those PLC times and highlights. Uh, some fun pictures, some highlights of, uh, what students are doing and what it looks like. the interactive notebooks, um focus notes, uh some different projects and presentations. Sometimes they'll even go into other classes. And um we've got our senior wall there. Those are our seniors. They're graduating. These are tutorials. So the four sections, they go to a separate room where it's got it's room 101. At our um campus, it's all big round tables. So they sit in groups and then our two tutor two tutors circulate along with the teacher

116across the four periods that go through there and just work on students. They bring their their problems where they're stuck and the group tries to collectively solve the problem together. Um and then there's this TRF form that they do where how they how they problem solve together. Um, I think this is something want to emphasize from our WASK a year ago. Again, supporting English learners, supporting students in inclusion, those students with learning disabilities. And for us, we learned it leaned into AVID strategies this year. The college and career, that's that's the AVID purpose to get that group of students who perhaps are more in the middle to get them to dream bigger and think about those four-year universities. So for us um that carries in here's more pictures of different student I'm I'm rolling through

117but um smiley faces u and then we get to this with the work that they do there's also this great leverage that for students um that as juniors they get to do this 5day trip and I think that is a big draw for us and want to thank Rimmed Foundation for funding a massive chunk of that I believe it's $24,000 this year. It's incredible to send 32 students across the state of California. Um the stats are there 10 schools and um they just come back changed and they to what you were saying Miss Gardner about students visualizing and actually feeling what a campus is like is a different thing. So, um, for those students, that's a huge, um, drop in the program and our our teachers go and they do, um, that's some some feedback

118from students who go, some some quotes on the impact that it had on them. This is what we share with Rimed Foundation. Um and then of course that from junior year that carries into our senior year and then our our college our current senior day senior student data um of seniors they got 85% who've been accepted into a 4-year university. All of them have committed to at least some type of college. Um a bunch of them got into USC but they decided to choose some better schools. So weird. >> Um, those eye daggers came out, which is um, but we're we're very proud. Very proud. I thought they were smart. >> They were They are. >> UM, >> I just wanted to see if you were smart. >> Oh, I buddy. Um, as far as

119some victories from the year, we've got uh teachers who are experienced in AVID. They've taught AVID. They've done the summer trainings. Um, they've done multiple grade levels. I think that that helps with the credibility of the program. Um, they've also been the ones who have impacted our PLC's. I mentioned this, but it ties into our WAS goals. Um, we've funded through Title One an AVID tutor and then two tutors this semester. um the 11th grade field trip and then we've got a counselor who specifically oversees AVID and that'll continue into this next year. Um got to go to the Toyota Arena as was mentioned earlier this evening and to see the students in the arena with the other AVID programs from I think it was 2,000 students and 8,000 people in the stands. Um but

120just to see their faces of just the scale of what they've done and the stories and the number of students who are first generation college going they're yeah it's a bonding those students they're like family so that's another part of the program and why we find it worth our investment is those students support each other and have been together for some of them back to what NPH was sharing they had the students stand up for how many years they've been in the program and for some of them it's been five, six years. Um, so that's I think a testament to the quality of of what it's meant for them. Um, with that want to say thank you for the support of Abid and R schools programs. >> Okay. Questions are comments except for >> SC.

121>> No, you don't take the top. >> Just remind me what are the qualifications? What do you have to do to become an avid student? >> To be an avid student, I mean, there's a little bit of recruiting, but honestly, we would accept students who are interested in college. Like, that's the biggest biggest question. Um, and even if they aren't, we still are trying to find that student who's capable perhaps not applying themselves. So, think of your perhaps C, maybe B student, maybe with the D here and there. Those are a group who we want to get to think bigger to grow their academic skills. >> So some for some reason in my head there was a maximum GPA that a student might have in order to go into it. No, there's not >> as

122far especially threat no >> we would yeah they're coming from NPH they're interested we'll get them in the program. >> Good question. >> Yep. Anything else? >> That was great. >> Except there's something must be wrong if they're all saying they're going to go a better school than SC. >> You know what? You just wait till I come to the next board. It is going to be USC spiritware and spirit fingers. And there you go. >> All right. Thank you. >> You know what? I take back every nice thing I ever said about you. Yeah. Okay. So, moving on. 9.7 Educational Services presentation of the English EL report and title 3 English learner e master plan report for the 2526 school year. Oh, wait. It's Mrs. Webside. Welcome. Welcome. You like USC, don't you? >>

123Absolutely. >> There you go. Right answer. >> Right on. >> Well, good evening. Thank you for the opportunity um to share with you the wonderful program that we have for English learners across our school district. Um you should have with your attachments um a copy of the EL master plan which is the title 3 report. Um you'll notice that in the yellow highlighted areas will be the areas that are revised. That's later for a consent item. Um but I just thought I'd reference that if you wanted to see the changes that occurred to the report once we get to that slide. All right. So getting started um taking a look here our EL program we're growing voices and futures and as we look at our ELPAC scores our total population um we really want to

124look at the numbers behind the narrative. Um so 221 EL students across our district and as of today we have reclassified uh 12.2%. >> Yay which is 27 students. So congratulations to those students. Our reclassification ceremony is coming up very soon. Nth PH always hosts that for us. So we're grateful to NPH for doing that. Um I believe that is June 2nd. So if you would like to come celebrate, we'll make sure that you have that inclusion. Um as of today, again, a 97% completion rate on the LPAC. So our administration does begin in February with the goal to finish before spring break. Um but we do have a few students that are out of the country right now. So we are still trying to reach those students. Um and then our monitoring, we've got

125126 students that we're monitoring and we continue to use the elevation program um which is very helpful for the monitoring support that we provide because it specifically identifies as you've seen in previous presentations um their ELPAC level and specific supports and activities that are are people can utilize. So district successes and ongoing efforts um as we've heard a lot tonight, the voice of our students and our families is key. Um as Dr. Seviano shared with you, we have a lot of LCAP meetings last week. Um, and it kicked off with DA. Um, so every one of those LCAP meetings, they got a copy of the full version of the LCAP draft, which is about 191 pages at the moment. Um, and but at the same time, we gave them a Spanish version of the highlights

126of what they would see in terms of English language um, services across our district. and some of the feedback from our DAC um which was the highest attended meeting we've had. Um so we had some great attendance last week at our ELCAT meeting. So thank you again to our site administrators for really pumping that up. Um they'll find out who won tomorrow during their principal round table meeting because I do have a little challenge of who had the most people at our meetings. So more to come for them. Um but one of the really great things we heard from our DACA families as we're asking them for support and insight. What do you see in the OCAP? What do you want to see for your babies? Um, and one of the parents sitting across from

127me and she said, "There's nothing more you can do." >> You're doing all the things and it's clear that you care about my son. >> And that was, you know, a testament to the hard work of our bilingual aids, of our teachers, of our uh our EL coordinators, our site administrators. So, there's a thank you slide to them um coming up. Um but that is really huge and as they talked about um asking for in a previous year year to really talk a for a parent engagement night they said you did it you did what we asked. Um and you even thought about those of us who couldn't make the parent night. Um and I do want to give a brief shout out to Mr. Nabas from MTH. He's the EL coordinator there. He actually

128wanted to present with me this evening but he got sick and heard that. So, um, he sends his apologies as he really enjoys sharing, um, all the things that he's doing, especially some of the slides you saw with MPH and what they're doing with their EEL program and how they really he really dives in. And if you have a chance to see some of our ELB uh courses or coming into Mr. Nicholas's class. Um the opportunity for students to speak and pass the clicker and then pass it on to another student and really, you know, identify those reading, writing, speaking, listening skills. It's really encouraging to see. He's encouraging students to find their voice. On top of that, with the parent engagement night, he's taken and you'll see this very soon. We're working on getting

129it on the website probably by the end of next week. Um, but he's created resources for the families that'll have the QR code. I think I mentioned this in a previous presentation, but they're all done now. Um, and they'll they'll be on the website probably by the end of next week. We're trying to create links to QR codes and everything. That's kind of our logistic back work, but um, again, huge shout out to Mr. Nas for doing that and taking on that work and wanting to recognize our families that um, couldn't make it to a parent engagement night um, but still want to be able to have access to those resources. Um so that's a that's a huge piece in terms of our celebrations. The ongoing components of of things like um you know the

130Avant assessment MH is also um been utilizing the eighth grade assessment to identify placement for the high school. Um we're wrapping up the CILE by literacy. I don't have an official number for you just yet because we're trying to get every possible assessment in and then we've got a a couple more assessments we're waiting for. Um but things like that where we look at parent engagement, where we look at assessment and placement and where we look at the resources that we're using. I also want to shout out the um uh I Ready use and the data chats at MH and how they're utilizing you know I Ready is one of the components of the EL reclassification. Um but having students set goals and and understand the reclassification criteria is a huge component to getting the

131student body for the students to understand what do I need to do to reclassify operational improvements, things we're continuing to do. As uh we shared, we're getting those resources on the website. Um we're looking at professional learning for next year and how we support our ELTELS and our ELS. Um that's another key component that's new to the dashboard within the last two years. Um but we want to make sure that our our our teams at our sites have the tools to support their students especially when you see um uh newcomers or variance in the ELPAC scores or when you see a long-term English learner and you know how do we reach them and provide that support. So professional learning uh will be coming for 26 27 um and then continuous data chats looking at like

132how we're involving the students like we see at many of our sites um to understand that we do classification process. So this next slide um is going to share with you the key enhancements of the e master plan. So again, if you have this document and again it was attachment with your board documents for one of the later items, you'll see the highlighted sections. Um the EL master plan is is about it's about 12 pages. Um but it ultimately highlights how an alignment of the E road map. Maybe you're not familiar with the E road map. Um that essentially identifies our EL standards and what that should look like in terms of integrated and designated supports. Um, a key component that wasn't in our master plan before was the ELTEL supports. Um, because again, it's

133relatively newer with the dashboard that that is a new addition of this year. Um, a strengthened commitment through A throughG. So, like you've heard at many of our sites, they're talking about how do you provide equitable access? um making sure that our students receiving EL services, our students with disabilities, our students that aren't program identified have access to A throughG have access to honors. >> We're we're trying to find is hold up these that we don't have. >> None of us and we don't see the word. >> So, if you could just email that beautiful document because we have your presentation in paper but we don't have that. >> It should be an attachment with >> to the agenda itself. to the yeah to the agenda itself and it's a agenda item. I apologize I

134can't see the number right now. >> Um but it's >> one of the items for later she'll be reviewing and approving the EO. Okay. So it's an attach >> it's its own separate but I figured I'd give you an update. >> It's in it's in the agenda. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Sorry I should have printed you. >> That's okay. All right. Um, so again, what you'll see in there, the alignment to the roadmap, really aligning to your ELD standards and your integrated and designated supports. What does that look like at the sites? Each one of your site administrators is working with their guiding coalition or their leadership team to ensure that their EL site plans truly align with the integrated and designated support list. the focus on LTELS as I mentioned um strengthening access

135to A throughG um advanced coursework and career pathways. How are we including our English learners in CTE in our A3G completion um in honors and AP opportunities >> and dual enrollment opportunities. So thinking about all those ways that we are inclusive in our programs. Um, I love again that uh MPH was sharing about your MD, MTSS, your multi-dimensional, multi-tered systems of support. There's a lot that goes on at each one of our schools to ensure that we're we're not just doing the tier one, but we're diving deeper into tier two and tier three and what does that look like for inclusion, for EL services, um, for uh, positive culture, things like that. So, um, again, that that's a short version of basically what you see added in. Um, and just making sure that as we

136grow and we grow the voice of our our ELH students and families that we're being responsive uh to changes in the dashboard, changes in the law. Um, and again, a great commendation to our site administrators for spearheading that work at their sites and building their EL site plans strategically aligned to their master schedules and their instructional blocks. there. So, um, as we go into the next couple of slides, um, this this is made by your EL coordinators and your site administrators, a celebration for each one of your school sites. So, kind of think of it as similar to, you know, the student representative sharing this the highlights of each one of their schools. Um, that's what's happening here within the the EL update. So, CH uh might be a smaller school, but with a really

137huge heart for our ELELS. uh started with 15 e students based on census safe. Um they've reclassified four students and they have a total of 12 e students. Um they've completed 100% of their elac. Um and their their huge components that they really wanted to highlight is their parent engagement, hands-on workshops, strong reclassification efforts, their data chats. um you know that relationship building and you know even though with fewer students you know they're maximizing every opportunity and you know through attendance through incentives through um activities as you can see in the pictures um and again that intentional work around their site plan. So again a kudos there to Mrs. Marshall and Miss Vega who you see up in the picture there um who work very hard for the EL supports at CH for LE. We've

138got 37 EL students on census day and got 98% completed on the ELP. Um the highlights there really focusing in on their science of reading and how they meet the meet the science of success if you will. um they had huge LP growth which if you recall the English learner pro uh uh progress indicated is when you move two or more um areas on the ELAC. So like a 1 A to a 2 A or a 3A to a 4 A moving two because again we can be an A and a B on the ELA. So again lots of celebrations there. um a lot of uh student understanding of their own data and a real strong focus on early literacy and the science of reading um and the data chats and really investing in the

139students to understand where they are um and where they're going. For VOE, you've got 52 students on uh census day and 100% completion with their LPAC. Um their highlights, we really want to emphasize the work of Mrs. barios um and that connection with families and students. Um she's at every one of our DOA act meetings. Um really a huge heart for the students there. Um and VO re really capitalizing on the relationships, right? They know their families, they know their students. Um and that family engagement has really supported their reclassification and growth. Um so a huge kudos to them as they continue those efforts. um and they've reclassified three students and three at the end of last year went to MPH that um and our parent you know again their parent involvement it's really key

140that we look at the efforts that are happening at our elementary schools um as they're reclassifying students before they get to NPH that means those students get an opportunity for the elected uh that conversation comes up almost every year with a DACA is I want my student to have access to exploratory elective and but at the same time get the EL supports that are going to help them thrive in the future. Um, and so the really if we can get them reclassified in elementary, they don't become an ELT, right? It's not possible until years. So again, kudos to our elementarymentaries um and the hard work that they put in um you know, every day there. So MPH, you heard some of the highlights today with regard to their efforts with ELV. They're 100% complete with

141their ELPAC. Um 50 EL students on on census day. You can even see that they have linked their EL site plan. Um been very intentional in how they provide that support um for their uh ones, twos, threes, and fours. And what that looks like in this school day, they're doing exceptionally well in in uh supporting English learners is again you see they're another one of our schools in the blue for the LP. Um and again, some of those efforts with Mr. Nebulous and I believe that narrative at the bottom is very similar to what you saw in the NPH presentation. So I'll leave that to read. But again, a lot of great work happening there. Uh Rim High 100% completion there. 56 EL students. Um they're especially proud of uh reducing the DF rate for

142our ELELS. Um providing daily tutoring at lunch. Um increasing that LP to the green. Again, it's very important to note that the greens and the blues, um, RHS, LE, MPH, really moving the needle, getting into the greens and the blues. Um, it's very very much commendable. We got to really give them a lot of credit for their efforts there. Um, so across their campus, you can see that they they really want to reach every student and I feel like Mr. Keiny would have like a Google dad joke right now about, you know, some commentary and So something snappy would have been right there. The donut saying, what was the do not? Anyways, really cool stuff, Cindy. >> All right, MHS, their e update. Um, they've got 30% of their ELPAC testing complete. Um, that is

143one of our sites. It's a little bit more challenging um with with the full completion, but they're working hard on getting that complet. Um sometimes, you know, if students aren't in attendance, you know, it can be difficult if they're out of the area. Some of the highlights, um they have a dedicated EL coordinator, Mrs. Marinaro, working really hard with their students. Um they introduce a variety of of incentives to encourage our ELS and support them. Um provide a flexibility with assessment, uh working through Mrs. tomorrow and they continue to emphasize the role of ELPAC testing so that students understand the why and how to reclassify. Um and then again that parent involvement is key. So their EL site plan is listed below there for NHS. Um and really it starts with identifying your student identifying

144your ELPAC level and then having that site plan that uh embeds those interventions and supports and what that looks like in their master schedule. Similarly with RVA um again Mrs. Marinero supporting as the EO coordinator um and successfully reclassifying three students at the end of last year before moving to MH. Again a great feat when we can do that and they don't come to ELA. Um again they're they're working to motivate their students. They do a great job with um the uh what are they called Mr. Montiel? The the mingle days or the uh mixers. >> There you go. The mixers. The mixer mingles. Yes. all of those things. Um, which really it brings in the families. It makes them feel connected and um, you know, that they have someone to go to for their

145EEL supports and services. So, to conclude, again, we want to thank all of our EL coordinators, our site administrators, um, because without them, it wouldn't it wouldn't occur, right? And of course, our families who support and um, share their voice, the students who share their voice. Um, you know, it it's a dedication to make sure that we acquire and provide access to all of our students and you know, every student, every voice, every opportunity that's what these sites and these administrators are living. >> Thank you, Mrs. Question, these comments. >> I just have one question. You touched upon it, but what do you think the main challenges are then at Mountain High School? >> Attendance. is its overall attendance. >> Um I think attendance um something I want to touch on um kind of capitalize

146on on you know things that we see at MPH at RIM at Mountain at our elementarymentaries is is the culture that we create and the confidence and the motivation but we need our students to be there. Um and uh attendance is definitely an ongoing research I think for um for Mountain and um they do every effort possible. Our site administrator and the you know um office staff really working hard to get our students there. Um but yeah, the confidence, the motivation and the attendance are key. The the other things Scott too at Mountain which is a little bit different and a little special is the the teachers Mr. Whiteside, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Surman, they really have that connection with the students. So when the student has been MIA or for several days, they really are

147um getting into what's going on, why haven't we seen you? and they all the teachers know exactly how many credits behind that they are and then also the testing um because we are in CAST and getting them into testing and so the teachers are a really big part of that relationship and and trying to get them to school and trying to figure out what are the barriers >> as well as admin in the front office. do have another question um for adult ed been offering English language learners you know try to actually help parents and you know and and help our adults in terms of learning English have you noticed any kind of impact with our adult ed classes in terms of possibly the parent meeting you know the the community meetings and in terms

148of helping our e students >> right yeah absolutely our parent engagement night um was filled with parents from the e uh I was at ESL from Adult Ed um who were excited about um the opportunity to help their students, their own kids get further along than they had the opportunity for. And one mom in particular shared that and she said, "My daughter is smart. Help her." And she said, "Absolutely. We're going to get her connected to a counselor." And you know, telling us things like, "I have A's and B's. Is am I good enough?" Absolutely you are. Right. And I think it goes back to the confidence and the motivation not just for Mountain but for all of our students to know that absolutely you have value um and you're doing great and um you

149know keeping that encouragement. >> Anything else? Anything else? >> Thank you Mrs. We appreciate it. Um 10.0 O discussion information items 10.1 legislative and advocacy report. Um I'm going to uh because Jordan is loves the budget. So we just got the um May revised from the governor's office. The biggest thing that is um building a coalition of AXA health community teachers association and CSBA is against the um governor's uh maneuver. Um the revenue has increased by over $6 billion over projections, but the governor has decided to still uh keep in place a clawback a a withholding of money to that we deserve that Prop 98 deserve. It has decreased from the 5.6 to 3.9 is it 3.9 billion? I believe so. And so the the issue is what is the justification? what is the justification

150for in such a huge increase in revenue over projections but still holding back our money. So again the coalition is pushing back on the governor. Um of course CSBA you know is is adimate so they continue those meetings with um the staff and the governor itself. But the really good part is is that all factions of the education community are pushing back together on this whereas CSBA was kind of by itself last year. So um Jordan, you want to highlight anything on the budget? I don't mean to create a gotcha. So if you're you're but I'm sure you've analyzed it to death and have a spreadsheet because you do spreadsheet forthcoming. I'll be putting out some little graphs on it, but I think you've highlighted the biggest thing. I don't know if it's intentional or

151not, you know, by creating by continuing to underfund it maybe creates a something for all of us to focus in on that may end up be, you know, something that he gives in on and prevents us from advocating for other things. So, I'm not sure if that's the taste, but that was some speculation I've heard. The other thing is too is that there is he is putting uh some of that revenue into the one-time monies uh the discretionary block grant things like that um community schools. But the the biggest part is that with the holdback that means that pro our money isn't growing every year. it's not going into the base which is where we need it which is where we can do the most for our districts and and decide how we want to

152spend it whether it's whatever our need is at the district level. So um the good part is is that now we had into negotiations with the um assembly and the senate. Uh they have heard a lot from us about our feelings on the hold back. Um, so we'll see what the end in June what what ends up happening during the negotiations. >> Just emphasize as well that there does seem room for negotiation because this is a significant departure from the January budget proposal in an unusual step. The Senate uh released their own and the state assembly also released their own blueprint for funding. So it has created a a very strong position for negotiating positive changes for programs and students. >> And then on the federal side of it, >> before you go to the

153federal, I thought I thought I saw something. It was it from Dr. Sevy on those notes or somewhere where the assembly has actually stated now that the proposal to withhold funding was unconstitutional and that the Senate is saying the same thing. That's pretty significant that both bodies are saying it's unconstitutional and they're actually being public in that statement, >> right? And it's and it is significant that that all organizations like Access CTA are are in alignment on this. It makes it very powerful voice. Um on the federal budget side, President Trump did release his 2027 budget request. Um it does seek $75.7 billion in total discretionary education funding for the department of ed. However, um it's it is a 3.9 reduction in funding compared to the 2026 level. And then the other bummer is that

1543.9 that um there's money that's going from this budget to increase PEL grants. $10.5 billion is going to increase PEL grants, which yay, but it reduces the money that goes to school districts by almost $15 billion. So we're really ex with this proposal, uh it's really $15 billion in cuts. The interesting part though is we always talk about special education. IDEIDA was passed and it the the promise was that it would special education cost would be covered 40% by the federal government. That's never happened. However, in the coast to coast, which was the superintendent uh and the board members visit to Washington DC, um there there is conversation of increasing special education. Uh the 8% is being thrown around. So, we'll see if that actually comes about. Uh but anything that we get on special

155education does help our general fund because special education and the cost of running that program um does have an impact on the general fund for us because not 40% is not covered as promised. So we'll see what happens with that. And then moving on to um I did go to CSBA delegate assembly. I did put in the board folder. We are not going through these, but I want to make sure that all of you have the same exact information that I have. So, in your board docs file, you're going to see a presentation from Patrick O'Donnell on the legislative bills, the ballot measures, um the um other legislative pieces there so that you guys see exactly what I have and that we're all on the same page. to have a lovely time with those. I

156was looking at them earlier today and one of the things that I appreciated seeing I think it was on the was it the legislative May 2026 PDF from CSBA that you sent us was um there one of the one of the blue boxes lists the um the two different bills for reducing reporting requirements. That's a big huge push because a bill was passed to reduce the the amount of paperwork in the reports and and it's shocking that that really hasn't been done. Another bill clarified to say we want all everything in one place all of the the reports that are currently and the CDE has not done that. >> And it isn't the quote unquote paperwork. It's the time involved to gather all the data for this agency for that agency. a duplicate effort the

157the the especially for a smaller district where we don't have the staffing to be able to be let's just say we're spending time on that we're not spending time on other things and they and they did do an analysis a cost analysis and every year it's costing well over $2 billion a year um in in salary salary well cost you know staff costs to comply. So specifically appreciated AB 2008 20008 which is um eliminating the um actually time limits on reporting requirements. Yeah. So basically saying okay you can have this reporting requirement it's going to be for the next 5 years or whatever so that it isn't indefinitely. So not piled on at four years. >> Okay. Four. And then the um and then um AB22492496 the eliminating unnecessary and redundant reporting requirements which I

158suspect Jenny could really tell us a lot about the redundancy and the reporting requires both of you. Yeah, both of you in terms of for this agency we need to give this information in this way, for that agency we need to do it in a different way, but same information almost and it becomes incredibly cumbersome and punishing. And then um to note, we're in the midst of the two-year two-year cycle of bills. Um the bills were all heard in their house of origin and um so you'll be able to see which ones are passing to the senate or from the senate to the assembly. The good part and see csba is excited that their four um bill package which we did vote to support which is AB2225 AB2514 2149 and 2202. These bills build upon

159one one another. Basically asking the state of California for kind of like a road mapap. They developed an EL road map kind of the same way of what are the expectations for closing the achievement gaps and um a lot kind of like a support and operations plan and then doing a um public measurement tool so that if Kimberly Shaft wants to know how the state is helping the our our districts close the achievement gap, it this little dashboard will tell her how well the state is doing in its job and then she can go, huh, maybe they need to do a little bit better. So, and then the other one is that you the LA uh the legal analyst office legislative analyst office they're they're going to they make recommendation and these assessments basically align

160the budget with the roadmap to close the achievement gap. I know that's an amazing concept, but would eliminate some of the pep projects that come through both by the governor and the legislators that take the focus off the student learning. So, it's saying let's align budget and the actual um operations plan. And then um the last piece is it takes the work of the state plan and it embeds it into the state board of education by creating this advisory commission um to advise the state board. So it it's a building block of trying to make sure that we're h yes we're held accountable for closing those achievement gaps but what is the state doing to help us be because we're we're not we do the same thing every year and we're not getting the support

161at the state level that we need to really define and focus and make sure the budget aligns with the focus. So, everybody's excited, but Patrick O'Donnell said that um these bills will have a harder time, some of them in the in the Senate. So, we'll see how it goes. So, you guys have awesome documents. Like I said, I wanted to make sure that you had everything that I had and and then the you have the big huge sand bill sandabs uh legislative. It's really a long one, but it gives you a summary for all the bills and where they're at. And then last thing is our the positions that uh Sandbox took on on some of the bills. And just we took a um we we talked about some of these like the aortionment for

162special ed uh AB2509. That one is um a support. Then we have the oh sorry the alternate assessments is actually a watch is there's some questions on that one. Um then we have the um one by senator which was awesome SB 1147. This one we didn't see in the initial bill package because she had a placeholder and this became in there put in there. the personal finance financial literacy class. She this bill would give some flexibility so that if you have a year-long um class already in place that you can you have you insert the the tenants of the of the personal finance in there and you meet the requirements and it doesn't take an additional period in the master schedule. So this bill we I was a big huge proponent of supporting and um

163in in the discussion because it gives flexibility especially when you have an impacted master schedule. So I thought that was amazing. The one that's going to be interesting is AB1644. It did. Um that's that's the smartphone, not cell phones, but smartphone prohibition. And it did pass out of its house of origin. This would prohibit smartphone use entirely from schools. And we just did our our our cell phone policy. A law did because we were supposed to come up with our own plan. However, that looked for your school district. So, here we are just not even a year later, about a year later, and this is now coming down the pike. So, it's it's interesting. We still think it should be local control, but we're taking a watch to see how it develops, but it did

164pass out of the assembly because it's a hot topic. parents are, you know, the whole idea of reducing screen time and reducing incidences of social media on campus. There there is a a a voice, a strong voice in there. And then the last thing is that I talked to Patrick O'Donnell about the fact that we already voted the other month on support position on the for the colony SOS bills. The one and um so not this week but next week. Uh the letter will be submitted to a CSBA government uh relations office so that they can use it in their pocket uh as the bill bills travel through the Senate. Yay. So that's it. Any questions? >> Thank you for all that. >> I have fun at the summary. It's really good. And like I

165said, I walked away with the strong appreciation of our board and our behind this. So with that, moving on. 11.0 discussion action items. 11.1 Superintendent the board retreat agenda planning fiscal impact none. Let's open this up for discussion. So I need a motion. So move. Scott's the first. The second >> second >> Jordan. Okay. Discussion. So what we have right now that's okay. So right now what we have for our June retreat is enrollment trends which includes boundaries including Ken Reynolds coming to um have a discussion with us. a discussion on RBA then revisiting our district goals. We just want to do a quick massage on it and then bring it back for approval at an at the August meeting. We're supposed to be doing our board self-evaluation now. So we'll we'll draw out three

166board goals, self-reflection kind of goals. Um and then of course sit down with the superintendent to discuss goals uh or mixture including success indicators and anything additional on what we would like to see. Just remember superintendent goals is probably going to be a couple hours knowing us. Anything from the cabinet that you wish to bring forward? We still have time to add of course to the agenda but let's be mindful that we don't want to do too much. Enrollment trends is going to be I think an interesting discussion which includes the boundary discussion. Jordana I don't know I was going to have this for a later agenda item. So, um, potentially, so I'm not dead dead set on this, but, um, with one of the public comments talking about school safety, wondering about seeing if

167law enforcement can I I I have no doubt that Dr. Saviano could follow up with them and do it justice. But I wonder whether it would be possibly a close session sort of safety discussion or some way of us being able to just reinforce, you know, reinforce the need to make sure that we have what kind of travel time or how to be able to make sure that we have that relationship with all the school sites. >> Yeah. Yeah. There's a uh new law uh really a policy has come forward that we have to approve to allow law enforcement to go into close session. >> Okay. >> So that is new that's a new um update on policy. We have to approve that policy first and so once we get that done we certainly can

168can entertain that. >> So could be for could be for the retreat but or maybe for a future item. I just I was going to mention it later but pulling it up to now. It is one of our uh mandated board policies. We need to update this year. >> Okay. And we have safety plans. >> We have safety plans and they do get seen by law enforcement, the first responders, but fire and and sheriff. So, they are seen. They are signed up on. I get what you're saying. having top of mind on a regular basis that maybe having some you know within their own within their own ranks. How do we able to make sure that if the call comes in that we're there ASAP or how you know just continuing to have that as

169part of the discussion? >> Yeah, I do think that uh let me uh have a discussion with them report to the board on Friday update be where we are with that. >> Okay. And then maybe not maybe then not for the retreat. Okay. Okay with that. So Scott motion for those items. Yeah. >> Yes. Motion to approve those items. >> Second. >> Okay. Any further discussion? And remember we can always add or change. We do have time. All right. Uh all in favor? I. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. 11.2 Superintendent first reading of proposed model board policy and regulation 3513 count of security. I need a motion. >> So moved. Jordiana second >> second. >> Jordan discussion any any discussion? Okay. If not calling for the vote all in favor >> I. Any opposed? Motion

170carries unan unanimously. 11.3 Superintendent first reading of proposed administrative regulation bit 5113.11 attendance supervision I need a motion >> so move >> Scott second >> second >> Jordan discussion if none calling for the vote all in favor >> I any opposed motion carries unanimously 11.4 4 superintendent first reading of proposed model board policy and regulation 5113.12 district school attendance review board a motion >> so moved >> bills the first second >> second >> Scott's the second discussion if none calling for vote all in favor I >> any opposed motion carries unanimously 11.5 superintendent first reading of proposed model board policy and Regulation 5113, absences and excuses. Do you need a motion? >> Bill's the first. Second. >> Second. >> Jordan's the second. Discussion if none calling for the vote. All in favor? >> I. Any

171opposed? Motion carries uni unanimously. 11.6. Superintendent first reading of proposed model administrative regulation 4161.2 personal leaves. I need a motion. So moved. Uh Jordana second. >> Second >> Jordan discussion. >> I do have a couple of questions regarding the policy. Um one is um just in terms of the verbiage talks about the the employee and um I'm wanting to just make sure or confirm that that employee in terms of the loss it could be it could you know it could be either the the male or female employee who might have incurred that loss. Correct. >> That is correct. Okay. And then um also wanted to just ask in terms of this policy how we will be letting our employees know that this is available to them because chances are somebody who encounters this >> is

172not going to know >> may not necessarily know and may not may be like bottled up and not be reaching out. So once the board approves this and goes into board policy, we'll be getting a message out through our union through our two union parties um to let them know. So if it comes across um they can get that message out as well. Um if there's other options that the board may have um we could send that out um to the uh to the employees saying that we've added the reproduction loss to our board policy so they know. wondering if that could be done say on an annual basis. So you know or and also possibly as part of the new hire just so that it's it's it's known that this is available you know

173on you know not not every week or not every month but just uh whether it could be part of whatever kind of regular notifications we might have on an annual basis. Yeah. And I think after the first couple years that it's in effect, the message will be out there and I think it would be pretty standardized. But yeah, that we could definitely do that. >> Yeah. And we we actually got an email from Sydney who wanted to stay, our vice president of RT who actually brought this up at a previous meeting. And in that email, she wrote, "When the policy is changed, please make sure that all administrators are aware and willing to support the staff who sadly have to utilize this leave." And she's specifically speaking to the leave for reproductive losses. >> That

174is correct. An administration will follow. It is board policy, so everyone will be following that. >> Anything else? I want to thank Sydney for bringing this to our attention so that we could do course correction. We love that word course correction on making sure we have an empathetic and sympathetic and supportive or policy for those that are going through an awful time. >> And just a clarification, we actually added this to policy. This is not didn't come to us from CSBA. This came from our own legal council, right, Dr. Sean? >> Yeah, there is a CSBA policy. We just added the language. >> I'm sorry. >> Yeah. >> So, CS there is we added the language to this. It was a CSBA policy, but we added the language that would um best suit the needs

175of riified school districts employees and echoing what the what we spoke about in um um during discussion of this policy to allow that our employees have paid leave uh because CSBA does not encourage is not the right word um says you do not have to provide any um paid leave. However, we did the 10 paid leave um days and then um the 10 unpaid after that within the maximum of 20 days allowed within CSBA within the calendar year. >> Any anything else? >> Yeah, just a question regarding what Dan had mentioned. Is it worth discussion of including something within the AR that it's part of our practice that we communicate this out annually? I don't want to encumber because when you start getting into too specifics um especially in AR when you go you encumber

176future boards or future staff I think that we just make it procedures and protocols. I like Dana's idea of like maybe at the beginning of the year at every school, you know, we have annual notification that goes out, I think we just put it as part of our repertoire cuz because then if some somehow some way you don't do what is exactly said in your in AR, you you open yourself up to liability. >> But Shannon, aren't there other policies like this that get communicated? There's a number of things that we do for personnel that has to be communicated not just this item. >> Right. But those those are in alignment. >> Yeah, that is correct. And what we could also do is Yeah, those are mandated. Those are mandated um throughout. However, we could

177put this also I've seen it in other districts where it actually goes into the collective bargain agreement for both parties for both union parties. So that way it's a part of their um agreement as well. So that's another way of getting it the message out there. >> I think that would work better.

183Fiscal impact TDD. Any motion? >> Move. >> Jordan second. >> Scott discussion. >> Just for clarification purposes, the timeline that's outlined here is what we'll proceed down. Correct. Yeah, Miss Havlin has a great information. >> The um the developer fee justification study, you all you received that in um a Friday update probably a month or so ago. Um and then um but we just saved it to this board meeting to have that discussion. And every 5 years per government code, the a district must do a justification study to justify their fees. And I did a quick little one pager um of just um really what the um the statement we need to answer is is that a district must demonstrate and document that a reasonable relationship exists between the need for new or reconstructed school

184facilities and residential, commercial, and industrial development. So if if there's a nexus to those two things that that there's a need a district can um charge fees and based on what the cost to reconstruct um or build new facilities um and um compared to how many new students you would have growth whether it's TK growth or just overall growth um you know that that kind of tells us where we land on on what fees we can charge. um in the study if you read all of the enrollment and the future forecasting and he measured um it's Ken Reynolds who you know we we will we may invite to come talk to us with enrollment and boundary studies um looks at how many home um homes are built in our in our surrounding district looks on

185you know enrollment trends and even though we could be flat or slightly decline enrollment the the students that um transiency of the students and moving does demonstrate that there's that nexus. So we actually and this is largely based on just the cost of construction, okay, and that escalating cost. We um since I've worked here, this was the first time that we've been able we've fallen under um an allow uh to be able to charge the maximum allowable by um state law. Okay. Um, and so we currently charge residential customers um 84 cents per square foot. Um, and commercial 34 cents. There's a little caveat if you're a storage unit. Um, I didn't put that for the current cost. >> The maximum allowable is um $5.38 and then um 87 cents for commercial. On the back

186side, you can see I did a little summary of our annual collections from developer fees each year going just going back to 2022. You can see there was um our fees were higher then um and there was um uh you know buildings slowing a little bit. Okay, we also looking at the data we had kind of this um an entering COVID kind of stop and then an exiting COVID catchup. You kind of saw that in the number of um of of u we didn't issue the permits but square footage per year when you looked at those fees. We keep logs of the square footage and the and how much we paid. Um, and so to date, since July 1, 20 um 25, we've actually had uh 41 applications for either reconstruction or new own cells.

187Okay. And uh that was 69,35 in total square footage. Okay. And you can see our fee our current fees have been 73,284. All right. Some of those fees could have been also us collecting on a prior year um uh NSF check. That happens. You know, we have a handful every year and we also have a handful of um cancelled permits that maybe it was two years ago and we get confirmation that they've canceled the building. There was hold up and then we have to pay them um their money back. So, um, we to we discussed about the we looked at some we looked at, uh, Ukipa and we looked at Bear Valley. What do they charge? And I put that in a Friday update to you. Um, and then we looked at, well, our costs

188come to construction and um, the conversation really is, you know, just because we can charge the max, do we want to charge the max? you know, do we want to um you know, have a phase and in five years we're going to have to do another study. So, in 2031, we'll have to justify the fees again. And do we want to increase the fees to um the highest we could today or have a you know, maybe every two years up until that 5year rejustification, do a phase in. But if we just raised um the fees to um like a$110 from the 84, if we would have been charging that, that would have been about $17,000 more for the district. So depending on the amount that we increase the fees to. We don't have to decide

189that today. Um the decision is though, yes, move forward because we will have to go through and have two public hearings. Okay. and then adopt that new fee. So, we have some time between now and and that first hearing to have discussions on where we land if we wanted to go something different than what we talked about um uh just through through cabinet. Um and um that those numbers were $110 for residential and 45 cents for commercial. Bear Valley is currently charging 65 cents per square foot for residential and 36.3 cents for commercial. Sorry. UPUPIPA is $3.79 and 90 for 90 cents for commercials. Um and so when we get um looking at comm school districts that also have incorporated cities, they also have other taxes that they collect. Like Ukipa actually charges more than

190that, but it's a mix of other taxes that they also collect because of the the their cityhoods, you know, that touch their land. So So um uh you can kind of see where Big Bear hasn't also hasn't raised their rates in quite a while. Um and the timeline would be publications in our newspapers that we're going to have a hearing um and then um twice just similar to a commercial bid um and then adopting the fees. So really the earliest we can adopt new fees um would be that last meeting in June unless we push that off until uh August or September. Then we give um parties 60 days notice. will contact the building um uh the BIA, the building industry association um and some other groups that we're charging a new fee, pass a

191board resolution um and and move forward with new fees. >> You collect the fees yourselves though. >> Yes. And I know in the past you guys used to do it where it was different for um a deck and the attic space and the living space >> livable square footage. And um if you're doing a remodel, it's at 500 square f feet or higher. So if you're doing a remodel that's only adding 450 ft or 499 square feet, then there's no added um developer fees. >> Yeah. That also does not increase your taxes. You don't get assessed after that either. So that's a good point. >> Um, >> so would you would would we go back to like the difference or because I think he changed it and it was just a one set living space

192where you included decks. Is that is that correct? >> You know, I don't believe we've ever included decks in my memory. I mean, if there was ever um a change in the law, I'd have to go back and and talk to my colleagues to see if there was non-living space or, >> you know, just from my perspective, I always thought it was really low and way too reasonable. I try it was it was when it comes to building and you're looking at everything that you're paying for as far as LASD and Lakeland, you have to have two water meters, you know, which is in my opinion crazy, but um it uh I always thought it was very reasonable. So that was my opinion. >> We've been in my history here, I'm sorry, um in my

193history here, just since I've worked here, not always in my position, we've been around the $2 mark. then it went drastically lower our last justification study. I think because of the the um enrollment decline and um and you know the no movement and having so much capacity at our school sites that um you know our our fees got lowered. We questioned it then and um you know had a hard time justifying not reducing them. So um with that, you know, we we've said we've studied and um we have that um a justification that we can charge more. >> Any other additional questions? Jordan >> just thinking that if we are potentially considering changing the fee, it probably would be helpful to know what historically we have charged and when just in terms of trying to

194create some sort of structure around like if the cost of construction has gone up a certain percentage since that time being able to try and I think we've only changed fees probably about three times since I I might have worked here, but we can go back and find that history if It's not a big a couple weeks >> or so before we could get to that. >> I'm just thinking if you know in terms of if we are considering touching this trying to figure out a a logical way of being able to do it, you know, some logic behind it. >> Do you So Dr. I was asking, do do you want them staff to come back with a recommendation? Dr. >> Yes. I thought you had I thought you had put something in the

195writing notes that was a recommendation and I'm almost hearing you say a$110 is your recommendation. We were thinking that could be a reasonable step up, >> you know, and really, but it's your call too if you want to go higher than that. I mean, >> why so why do they say we could go to $5.38? >> Because of the cost of construction and the future reconstruction and modernization costs of our facilities. >> Okay. And and I don't want to get out of line, but why wouldn't we go to that if that's what we're what we could do? >> Well, I think it would be the community impact. would be the discussion. >> Yeah, I think that we uh threw that to figure out initially. We wanted to hear from the board and feedback and then

196we'll come back with a final recommendation. >> So with that though, we're giving direction if we approve this, we're giving direction to move forward with >> change and not change the fees. >> Okay. >> Well, and I like Jordana's question. Okay. So when was it? You said at one time it was $2. So, when was it $2 or whatever that number was? >> I mean, I have it in my head. It was about four years ago. It went down and it was $2 for probably about 15 16 years and then I don't I I don't know how much I was paying attention then even though I was an employee. So, I'd have to go do some research. >> I'd like you to consider that when you make your recommendation. >> Okay. Anything else? Any other

197direction? Okay. So the motion is to move forward in increasing fees. So with that any further discussion? If none calling for the vote all in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. 11.12 business services approval of agreement with SESBY or zero mission school bus infrastructure incentives.
