I think I'm just going to go ahead and start because I just want to wish uh Jordana all the best as she had to just leave early and we hope
003she has a restful evening. But more importantly, I want to wish all the teachers a restful summer that they can get recharged and I look forward to a great year next year. So hopefully um things go well over the summer for everybody. And I want to also thank all those staff members that are working hard over the summer. I wish that everybody could see because I remember seeing it as a teacher all the work that you put in is so appreciated. So I just want to encourage you with that thought. Thank you. Oh, I just want to say um thank you to all of the teachers, all of the staff, all the administrators, cabinet, even parents and students for working so hard this year, doing such a great job and finishing strong because sometimes, you
004know, we have some dips where we don't want to really plug along and we do. So, thank you to everyone for finishing strong and um making it another great year at Run of the World Unified School District. Have a great summer. Recharge your batteries because I'm going to um we'll get started and hit the ground running next year. Right, Mr. Zimmer. Yay. I'll be painting that gray paint there, buddy. All right. Jordan, would you like to go next? Sure thing. Uh yes. Yeah. won't repeat the happy summers, but definitely wishing them. In other news, the governor and legislature reached a budget deal for the 2026 year fiscal year ahead. So, uh it um has its positive and negatives. It's keeps the 2.3% cola that's anticipated. It fully funds discretionary block grant, yes, of 1.7 billion.
005And um but it also continues to have Prop 98 underfunded uh which is constitutionally questionable. So uh interesting um developments there. Uh there was a lot of yeah the discretionary blockground is a big one that had a discrepancy between the governor's mayise and legis you know one adopted by the legislature. Um so it was interesting that they came back for it and fully funded that. um lots of implications there and uh looking forward to continuing to talk on the budget route, but I'll save some of that for our advocacy. Um all right, third meeting down for the month for looking forward to July. Bill, thank you. just a couple brief comments and that is one is that um I appreciate the fact that a budget is being agreed upon but I'm still concerned about what
006that means for us financially as a district and for school districts across the state and I'm still concerned about our deficit spending and I appreciate that we are working to try to make changes there uh even with issues that will be voted on tonight but um deficit spending is still causing us challenges and problems for the future. Um and then lastly, I want to welcome our new principal to um to RIM. We did vote on and approve you at our last meeting. So, it is official. So, welcome. I hope you'll get to know the facility and the the location a little bit. Um there's a lot for you to learn, I understand, but yeah, can find that new office and all. Seriously, welcome and congratulations. And now that he's principal, he ate that sandwich for
007the first time, which is nice. Some 9.2 Superintendent Dr. Paul said, you know, just a quick a couple of things. One, I want to thank the board, the cabinet for our discussion on the June 28th board retreat. I thought the board provided direction to the superintendent and cabinet on the district strategic goals for the 2526 school year. And our remember our strategic plan goals are aligned to our LCAP goals with the exception of one which is the fiscal accountability and facilities goal which we um have developed some actions around. Also, the board retreat provided time for us to revisit critical needs of the district and to align our district actions and resources to meet those needs and really focus on continuous improvement. Um, lastly, I want to wish everyone, you know, a a terrific summer,
008have a time to recharge with your family and friends, and look forward to 2526 school year. 10.1 Superintendent Legislature and Advocacy Report Fiscal impact none. So I I forwarded you the um update on the uh pregnancy leave of 14 weeks. It's now been converted to a two-year bill, meaning that motion on that has really stalled. um the author put the price tag of that as a $und00 million and everybody else thinks it's going to far exceed $100 million. And we have to remember that yes, this might be a great idea. However, all of that money comes out of Prop 98. So, anything that you put towards that has to h come from somewhere else. So unless you expand Prop 98 to to include some of these big ticket items that are good ideas and good
009intentions, it's competing with increasing teacher salaries, making sure you don't cut programs and services for students. So it does come at a cost. So just saying that I'm sure Mr. Hansen is super excited that we have that he's got more hair on his head today. Um some updates on some bills that we were kind of watching. AB1224 which is the 60day increasing subs to 60 days. Um that was in the Senate Education Committee but that hearing was actually cancelled at the request of the author. Have no idea why. I didn't see the reasoning why. AB560 which would lower the case loads and class sizes for resource specialists and special day classes. It is in the Senate Education Committee to be heard. Yes. I thought I'd point that out because I know we put it out
010there and it it it is concerning. It would cost a lot of uh it would cost additional money, but also getting people getting the staff is also problematic, especially for rural school districts. um AB uh 1064. We haven't spoken about this one, but it's an interesting one. It would prohibit the development and use of certain high-risk AI systems spec um to be used by or on children under 18. What it's specifically geared towards is those companies producing covered product. cover product meaning um it's it's like a chat companion companion chat that can attempt to provide mental health therapy to children and that specific part of high-risk AI systems which is which they are ter um defining as covered product they're worried that what will happen is that the child will develop um a relationship to
011this AI program this chat companion and lead to additional behavioral issues and also some unintended negative consequences with being going into therapy with an AI device rather than a human being that can really truly have that nuanced conversation with a child. This is in the Senate Judiciary Committee. So, it did go out of its House of Oregon over to the Senate side. So, we'll see what happens. Then we have the um and good one. I'm going to do two specifically for special ed and for HR AB1412. That is to devel either develop if needed, adopt or implement an IEP within 30 days of receiving a student's records when they transfer from out of state. We h we already have that in place for when a child goes district to district in stat instate 30 days.
012This would be a statute for anybody coming um from out of state. Uh especially military families have had problems with this when they move stateto state making sure they get their services within that 30-day time frame. So it is um in committee for military and veterans affairs. Not sure. That was kind of weird to see. But um the other one is uh oh, AB998. It would allow a school to confiscate the bait pens as household hazardous waste and then be able to take the pens to a hazardous waste collection facility. The school could do that to get rid of them. So that's actually in the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. It passed the House of Origin. And the last one I wanted to bring up, which I thought was really great, was SB716, which is um
013it it's about internet service, high-speed internet service. Qualified lowincome residents already get a discount for cell phone services. We could add additional discount for broadband services. And this the intention is to make sure that um we have equitable access to highspeed internet for all students and all families and making sure that it's reliable and affordable because as we saw in COVID we do have um gaps of of people that have highspeed internet and not and not and this is in the assembly uh in the communication and conveyance committee. So did switch the house of origin. So those are some updates and also some additional piece of interesting legislation especially the one with the I the AI you know that's kind of scary that you have AI doing mental health services to students that that to
014me is a scary aspect that I didn't even know was possible. So those are are are my updates for you. Do you have any questions? Any other discussion? Uh updates from last week when we adopted our advocacy platform. Uh I took that advocacy platform that is adopted. Um you'll see the printed copy with our letter head here in the board packet. It all fit on two pages with the letter head. So that was good. Um, I kept the uh Google doc that was that was drafted from um for historical purposes. We did have all of the changes that we made last week. Um, and then I took those advocacy priorities and started moving them towards uh identifying the legislative path forward for each one of them. So for full and fair ongoing funding, I found
015some uh sections of ED code that would be the appropriate place to legislate in a rural LCFF add-on. Um same for LCAP, um our safe modern schools, transportation funding, and uh support for special education. So, I went through all of those looking for the relevant pieces of ed code that we would need our legislators to adjust. Um, next I'll take a look on the federal level for IDA. That one might be easier going, but I just wanted to give the update that I'm continuing to um pick pick at each of those now that we have an adopted platform. Any questions? I'm just thank you. Yeah, thank you for putting the ed code to it. Um, it kind of educates those legislators that whose background really isn't in education to be able to see that we're
016not coming out of Blufffield that these these are legit areas. I mean, we do have a senator that came from, you know, a school board, so it's familiar, but that isn't always the case. And so I appreciate you being able to tie it to some and to educate our legislators. Jordan, are you going to put that in the right as well? Those notes want to add I'm happy to provide it to Dr. Seaniano. We want to include in the Friday update so that you all get a link to it. That works. Unless it'd be best to have the whole form with those with those dead codes identified in the drive. That's exactly. Yes, that's exactly what I do. But I'll give the update link off so we allocate it. Um, but yeah, it'll include each
017here's the platform and then I'll add like kind of a editor's notes section about the relevant pieces of code. So I just want to bring up it's kind of advocacy and kind of uh board education is the AEC in December is in uh Sacramento. I don't know. I'm just putting it out there. I have to go for delegate assembly. So, I will be going to Sacramento, but um I am just saying that I know in the past we have decided to always stay quote unquote Southern California. I don't know if people want to change that and have that discussion or not. It is not too late to register. We can register even the day of. It just gets more expensive. and then the hotel uh situation. But I'm just putting it out there because I
018know that some board members have expressed um desire to go and so I just want to make sure that I just put it out there if people want to discuss it at some point and say, "Yeah, I would love to do AEC." But that's up to y'all. Do you have a comparison of the boss or is it better than San Diego? It's the A. So there's different threads in terms of focuses for the workshops and the um panel discussions. Um some of it is the same. You're always going to be able to have some um there's always going to be a budget. There's always going to be more governance. So it's the hotel cost that seem to be um the hotels do are about 200. It's comparable to San Diego. Yes. Comparable. Yeah. It's like
019259, 279 because you do get the AEC price for it. Um there and there's surprisingly a lot of choices on that list. I was surprised when I got it for delegate assembly because delegate housing opens first. So I already already did my thing. We can uh put in the Friday update and get list some feedback from the board. Yeah, that's why I'm bringing it up in this because it is both education, but there's also advocacy. They do have advocacy workshops, advocacy 101, 102, 103 usually. Usually I I haven't seen what's uh what the agenda looks like, but there is um opportunities for uh advocacy training. I think we've avoided it because of the the expense especially if it was in San Francisco area. So I think it's worth less considering. I agree. I just wanted
020us to be able to have that opportunity to talk amongst ourselves to to bring it up. Thank you for that, Cindy. And again, Jordan, thank you for this advocacy platform outline. It's great. Looks like usual. Well done. Um 11.1 superintendent proposed extended contract for the superintendent to ensure a continued district leadership stability fiscal impact to be determined. So move a second. Thank you discussion. I believe that this version is um uh has the highlights removed. Is that correct? That is correct. Just want to confirm. Okay. I want to call for a vote. All All in favor? I maybe. Just kidding. [Music] Okay. Sorry. Passes unanimously. Four to zero. I know he's going to Is there a maybe? No. Yes. Definitive. Yes. God's face. Do I do out of order right now? She already She already
021made herself out of order. So do we. We do monetary penalty. Yeah. Dollar. 11.2. The superintendent approval of the contract for the California Adult Education Program, CAP, Rim of the World School District, was approved for a $97,817 by the Inland Adult Education uh Consortium LEC fiscal impact. Fiscal impact $97,817 funded by the Inland Adult Education Consortium, IEAC. I have a motion. So move second. Second discussion. Sorry. Go ahead. Okay. No, I'll just simply say this is great. We're moving into adult education again, which is something that is really really So yes. Yes. Question on the So this is being paid for by the um inland adult education consortium. Um, do we get this money every single year to continue paying for it? Yeah, we joined the consortium this past year and this is really to
022authorize they've authorized funding which is the California adult education program fund. It's a block grant given to all school district all districts that are eligible for adult education. It would continue in year uh 2526 from 627. uh if if um the board continues that means the consortium board continues to authorize that funding. Dr. Zion, it's my understanding that that could go up as well in the future. Is that not true? That's true. As program expands, they look based on your your enrollment numbers and your needs and we already have people lining up. Uh we had a preliminary um uh invitation for folks to if they're interested in signing up uh we had 25 adults from ESL um wanting that course to be put on right away. Uh we had projected that to be a January
023course and we decided to move that one up in and offered it in August uh because of the need. Uh, additionally, uh, we are recruiting or looking for students who did not complete their diploma requirements from 2012 to current, but currently reside in our mountain that need that need that diploma based course. And correct me if I'm wrong, we have some interest from our wonderful neighbors to the east. That's correct. We also have interest from Big Bear Bear Valley School District residents in Big Bear who are interested in joining that program as well. And then we're doing outreach to those students that didn't get their diploma like through Mountain High School and Grim High School to say, "Hey, get your GED." Now, I want to make it super clear because I got somebody questioning this
024heavily. So, I just want to make it doing to encourage enrollment. Yes, we do have a listing of those students and Mr. Montiel will be working on uh reaching out and contact contacting those individuals uh who may qualify for this program. Further discussion okay can I get a vote? All those in favor? I opposed passes. Passes four to zero. Madness 11.3 business services approval of the proposal with MGT impact solutions to conduct an organizational study of the maintenance operations and transportation department. Fiscal impact 69,744 budget source locally restricted funds. Do I have a motion? So move. Second. Second. Discussion. I just want to point out that this money is coming from restricted funds, not general funds. And that part of this study is also taking a a look at our bus routes to see if
025we can be more efficient, more effective, if there's a cost savings to reorganization. um that that is part of this study and we're excited about having somebody that has that expertise in transportation who can really do a good job in looking at our routes and to look at our our the way we're organized. Mine just provide a quick update on that in terms of the scope of that. Yeah, we are um excited because by coincidence, one of their team members was actually a resident 30 years up on the mountain, a graduate program, has done some work and um travels in the industry um across the country and has consulted with Annie I think is the most recent without I bringing my my notes in. And so um looking at some very familiar and understanding um
026you know a lot of times we'll have we'll be stuck with one way not having a turnaround spot where maybe something might seem you know more reasonable in a car. It's not as reasonable with the buses and and the topography of of of you know end to end. And so um I I think that'll also do a lot of validating too, um and then help with the standard operating procedures as we move into technology um and as we want to tighten up procedures or have procedures that are working well maybe just not in writing um and um where this is um also going to um cross over is um you know I'm assuming kickoff meetings over the summer um but looking at the custodial and the board superintendent goals with our planning standards and helping
027write some of those handbooks and policies is a lot of their expertise as well. And so, um, Mr. Zimmer, uh, Mr. Hans and I met yesterday. We talked a little bit about it and um just tapping into some um expertise but also some third-party suggestions that will take some of the um personal stuff out of it for how close some of us are and and um and being a small town to get into. I also want to just add that this study is hope the the purpose of the study to ensure that we receive some long-term savings in our operations to look at our operations see how we can get be more more efficient and more cost effective in utilizing our resources. So I think that's a big part of this um this study and
028once we receive the results we will all reconvene and discuss what our options are. Any other discussion? Calling calling for a vote. All those in favor? I opposed passes unanimously. Four to zero. 11.4. Business services. Should I stop? No. Approve business services approval to award proposal number 2425 05 for architectural services and contract with TBP architectural for school improvement projects fiscal impact to be determined budget source measure E bond funds. So move second. Yes. Uh we have Miss uh we have a representative from TVP here and Miss Havlin is going to also kind of review our rigorous approval process and selection process. Okay. Thank you very much. We have Mr. Gary Moon who has joined us by Zoom this evening. Um but before we um uh ask um him to speak just a little bit
029about the process um we started off with a request for a proposal um for architectural services um and that uh we worked with um Jim and Nicole in my office and myself and Dr. Civiano and um issued that request for proposal. We received 12 um proposals from architect firms. We interviewed five of them. We were all on the selection committee and um checked references um and went through um that that process ended up being a little you know maybe because of some timing and being able to get some items calendared um maybe a little bit uh of a longer process than normal but um we're really pleased with our selection. Um, we did I did bring some extra um promotional materials and our bids that we had um you know from our our interviews if
030you'd like to take one with you. But we've also um uh Gary has some experience with RIM in a past life that he'll talk about. And we're super excited to start teaming up with um DBP on um scope and um project planning and DSA planning with our partners at school works also for tap into state funding and to start putting our um community dollars in in place to make improvements in the schools. We're super excited um about that opportunity. We had a meeting today about um the timeline for bond sales and what that'll look like. So, moving slow to go fast in the construction, but um we're super excited about it. So, welcome Gary. Thank you. And and very nice to meet you, at least Zoom wise, uh member of the World Unified School District
031board. Um it's it's amazing that you passed measur. So congratulations to you and of course to the community. We tried to pass a bond uh previously when we did the previous master plan and it was it proved to be too difficult unfortunately. So it's really awesome that uh that you did that and I think it's going to be a great support to all the different schools in your district and as Jenny said you know we had we have had quite a bit of experience working in the district. worked at Rim Rim uh High School, worked at Crest Line, we uh did the building that you're sitting in right now as as well as a bunch of other ones. And and my it says my internet connection's unstable. Sorry, I can hear you. Okay. Okay. Um
032so, we're just looking forward to starting the whole planning process. And as Jenny said, you know, it's it does seem to uh to take a little while to get moving, but you need to do it judic judiciously. So, we we're all great stewards of the bond money. And uh and however, there are some projects that we'll be able to probably start pretty quickly and and show your community that, you know, that everyone's invested in trying to do the best job possible and get uh projects going as quickly as possible. So with that I'll if you have any questions I'd love to answer them. from this point forward. We're going to take a look at those pro projects per the master facilities plan and the bond language and start a priority, for a lack of a
033better word, priority list of what we can do and when we're going to do it so that we're fiscally responsible in selling the bond and not, you know, imposing undue tax taxes on our um assessment taxes on our community. Correct. Right. Right. That's the very first thing we'll want to do is uh come up with a list of all the projects, you know, because as you all know, I think uh right now it's kind of a challenging time in terms of what schools cost and and determining what that will be. So the priority list is probably the most important thing. So we we understand what you want to accomplish and what's top priority in the district and we'll work down the list until you know effectively until uh the money is spoken for. I have
034one question. Um I know that some of the money well some of the projects are um also funded by the state. Um is there a timeline on that as well whether we can receive that money or not? So at the moment most believe it or not most of the money is spoken for uh for state funding. So that means so what so what that means is that if you uh you have eligibility and you know you're going to receive matching funds from the state at the very least if we don't get the money it'll go on a list that's an unfunded list and you will be funded. It just won't be immediately. Okay. We had experience with that with our LA third phase of rimide modernization where we actually had to keep our plans open
035for about four years while we were waiting for the state to sell another round of bonds because we were on that approved but unfunded list for a few years. So, we were able to just keep some plans alive um and go ahead and once the state had sold another bond, we were immediately funded very quickly um to continue and finish the modernization phase three. Good to have experience. Other comments for questions? All right. Well, thank you, Gary, for coming on with us. Um, it's a a little bit of a quieter board meeting because of June 26. A lot of people are already in vacation mode, but so thank you very much. We appreciate your time. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time to talk to you later. Uhhuh. Byebye. 11.5 Business
036Services Approval of Res Oasis Point of Us. We might vote. off for a vote. All in favor? I I oppose. All right. Zero. I know he was hanging on edge there. [Music] Now we can move on to 11.5. Business Services approval of resolution number 24-25 40 for maintaining and a positive financial position fiscal impact none so moved seconded discussion why do we need this resolution why don't we just do it this is the resolution we also passed one um almost word for word the same with um our second interim financial report. But this is required by our county office as part of their budget review process if we are deficit spending and if we have a um uh reserve balance that's kind of rapidly um shrinking. So it was it's a formality yes um but
037it's also to make the public and um all the stakeholders aware that um the county also takes their AB1200 oversight seriously and does expect the district to be working on um the deficit spending patterns. Other discussion call for a vote. All those all those in favor I I opposed passes unanimously 4 to zero 11.6 6 business services draft resolution number 2425-41 to declare pro property known as Gran View ele elementary located at 180 Grand View Road, Lake Arrowhead, California 92352 as exempt surplus land under the California surplus land Act fiscal impact none. So move second. There's a second discussion. I'm sorry. I didn't see um the um attachment for this one. I was wondering if there's a copy of it. It was um it was placed on everyone's uh I got um 40 resolution 40.
038Oh, here this one. I apologize. Sorry about that. Thank you. And this is um the except for the property um address. This is very similar uh if not almost identical to the uh AHC resolution draft that we submitted on the blue J property. Other entities have already had an opportunity to to try to secure the property for themselves. So that's why it's time to do it now. it does give that last chance. We've notified everyone. We've notified most a entities two, three times. And um but with the housing and community development um it's more certifying that we've done the we've gone through the process. Any other discussion? Call for a vote. All those in favor? I have opposed passes unanimously four to zero consent calendar. We have a point of clarification on 12.4 a revision
039consisting of a name change and hold for discussion. I'm going to start off with a sorry um 12.12 will be hold for discussion as well. Any other items need to be hold for discussion? Yes, please. Um 12.16, and 24. just add 23 on there, too. I'm serious. Okay. Just wanted to give you that smile with clarification. That's all. Okay. So, which one was that again, Bill? 23. So, just clarify. 12.12, 12.16, 12.20, and 12.23, and 12.24 will be pulled. for further discussion with that number without smart with one that I uh move to approve 12.1 1 12.2.3 12.5 12.6 12.7 12.8 12.9 12.10 12.11 12.13 12.14 12.15 12.17 128 12.19 12.21 12.22.25 12.26 12.27 12.28 12.29 29 1230 12.31 12.32 12.33 12.34 12.35 12.36 12.37 12.38 and 12.39 Do I have a motion? So move.
040I'll second. All in favor? I I approve unanimously unanimously 4 to zero and brings us to 13 items removed from the consent calendar. We'll start with 12.12. Yes. 12.4. That was a that was just revision. Revision, right? It had to be printed, right? And publicly and publicly notified, right? So I think that is correct. It was posted. So you didn't you didn't actually pull it. I think you read it off as I read it off. Yeah, you read it off. So 12.12 and we have side to provide some information on this first. I'm sorry. Call for a motion. Call for a motion. So second discussion you want me to go there any okay so 12.12 is a presentation of the local indicators um as part of your requirement for the LCAP you need to share
041the local indicators as part of transparency um at the same board meeting that you adopt the LCAP. So um we'll go through these in brief but essentially your um your local indicators are there to again provide that transparency and that feedback especially along the lines of educational partner decision making input standards alignment and so forth. So, all right. Okay. Um, so if you look at the the school dashboard indicators, you have on the left, um, the the document you've seen several times, which is basically how the LCAP is organized around the goals, actions, and metrics. Your local measures and your state measures. So, if you think of the LCAP and you think of your local measures, think of this as like your Google map of all the things we're putting in the LCAP, right? And
042all the things that we're measuring. um show us where we're going um and where we've been. Our district relationships and priorities align to goals one, two, and three. You can think of those as our GPS coordinates. Um that is student centered. Um and how are we guiding the work? Um when you look at the how we look at the local indicators, we will survey through uh Kelvin. Um we'll get surveys out through parent square. We work in our educational partner meetings like our LCAP meetings, our school set meetings. Uh but again, we compile that data. Um so again that we have that educational partner feedback and we have that transparency. All right. So when you look at the local indicators the first one that you see is around um like our Williams sufficiency. Um that
043process begins each year in March. Um we do a preliminary sufficiency with our library checks and our admin um to see where we are and look at the enrollment projection for the next year and add about a 10% um so that we can go through our order management. Now at that point books haven't been turned in yet, right? because you're still in March, but you're doing a projection of enrollment. Um, and that's where that 10% buffer is, is to make sure that you're prepared. Um, so that section is looking at um, our teacher staff. It's looking at our Williams efficiency um, and our fit. And so, and that's essentially the process each year of where we stand on those numbers. Looking good across the board there. Um, so for the next section, you've got the
044um, implementation of state board adopted academic and performance standards. And so there's a series of questions that are looking at um where are we in terms of implementation? Um we have ranged between the three and the four initial and full implementation for the last several years. We're about the same place we were last year in terms of the three to four range depending on the specific question. Um and so if that work continues with our GBC days and the information that we shared at our recent board workshop, um there's a there's you know more work to be done. Um but again the the this is an opportunity to give teachers um an opportunity to share and that goes out through survey um uh to our staff. Um that next slide you'll see um that's implementation
045and um how programs and services are are there to support our ELS. Um and you'll see again if you look at the bottom of the the screen you'll see I give you kind of a rundown of what's involved with each one of those questions. So like with question three, looking at our our PD, our PLC, our GBC, essentially all of the professional development, um think of all of the work with the county, work with ED Sulpa for inclusion, you know, all of those partnerships, solution tree, um uh that we work together to support the PD and training. Um number four is around William sufficiency, CTE alignment, PFT, Prop 28 by literacy. And then your um your next question there is uh number five is again rating the LEA's success of engaging the following activities with
046teachers and again getting their feedback and identifying you know professional learning um what do they see needs for um and kind of where we are there. The surveys that we get back from our staff really do guide next steps with building our professional development plans um specifically for next year around like e inclusion. website and these these scores here are actually the results of those surveys with the teachers. Yep. Okay. Thanks. Perfect. Absolutely. Okay. Making sure I'm on the right selector there. All righty. So, yeah, we talked about parental involvement. If you think about PTA, um you know, DAC, LCAP, schoolside council, if it has an acronym, we involve the the educational partners. We want to make sure that they're involved in that process and part of the decision making um and that that you
047have that two-way communication. You'll see that in the LCAP requirements quite frequently that it's not just one way communications but two-way and that they're involved in the decision- making. Um again, you're seeing those scores in the three to four range in terms of initial versus full implementation. So, um and again that's the the continued of our educational partners input. So, some of our Kelvin surveys when you look at um um this slide, just thought I would show you since you've seen some of those those percentages before in previous uh uh presentations, what is the change from the previous year? We're very similar to previous years in terms of participation and favorability. Either there's no change or a minimal change in percentage. Um but then when you look at the student results, staff results, and family
048results, we do narrow those down to two dimension. things like physical safety, sense of belonging, instructional environment. Um, and again, you can see where those slight changes exist um, across our district. Um, and so part of our our next steps for next year is we're we are looking at how we, um, get more educational partner feedback in the LCAP process and try to get more more participation in our survey process and additional feedback. Um, I think those percentages could definitely increase. Yeah, they need to click that dog. they need to click the little dog. And yes, we talk about that how it wiggles in the corner, right, for the students and they know, okay, I've got to take that survey at some point. Um, we're also partnering in, you'll see in your update this week,
049um, that we're working with Panorama to see what other checks you can do along the way. Kelvin is four times a year. Um, beginning of the year, about two midyear, um, and then end of year. Um there are some surveys through Panorama that we're exploring that do more frequent check-ins and they tie directly back to the student so that as a um a site administrator or site teacher, you know, you can pull up a student in your class, pull up a student that you're talking to in the office and see not just academics, behavior, and attendance, but you can also see how they specifically responded to the surveys um in these dimensions. So something we're exploring for 2526. The one that stood out to me was emotional safety of staff, which went down 4%. And
050yet it's still at a what seems to be a pretty good rate at 83%. Right. And that and that's something where that can fluctuate just a little bit of course based on the participation rate, right? Um and um but that emotional safety does remain high which is great. All righty. So then the last couple of slides that you'll see again our metrics that you've you've you've seen her shares with the dashboard updates and the cast updates. Um but it's just kind of wrapping up at the local indicators. It's really important that we share the information that we share over to CDE. Um those reports are open as of June 2nd. Those are reported already to CDE. And so the what you have in the um the Google Drive, the board Google Drive, you'll see again
051um as well as with the u board agenda item is the full version of the local indicators. Um but essentially the screenshots that you see on each side are portions of that. So um essentially again very important that we remain transparent in our process, open with our decision- making and engaging all of our educational partners when we're developing professional development and of course as we are right now in the throws of uh building all the plans for 2526 and making sure that our educational partners feedback is guided. Any questions? No, you guided us very well throughout the course of the year. Gave us awesome data the whole time. Lots of data. Lot I love the lots of you. That's true. I believe that data people. No one heard you. I know that's because I'm lettering
052to myself. Any other discussions? I I will continue my own conversations myself. In that case, we'll call for a vote. All those in favor? I I opposed. Passes unanimously four to zero. Additional item pled for discussion 12.16 educational services approval of the proposed scope of work teacher librarian of record services for Rim of the World Unified School District during the 2025 2026 school year. Fiscal impact $14,800 budget source general fund. Do I have a motion? So moved. Second discussion. So it just explained I know what it is but for people that don't understand this and they go why are you spending another 14,800? My understanding is we have a change in position. So if we explain that that would be great. Absolutely. Yeah. So, um we do have a change in position. Um so, since
053we do not currently have a district librarian for the 2526 school year, this would be contracted services through Sanernino County Superintendent of Schools. Um to ensure that we have our CDE annual report completed, our library plan is updated. We go through collection and development and the leading process um and then support of course with our Williams sufficiency. uh the consultant with San Marino County Superintendent of Schools gives us a list of things um that are required by the state as well as support to our library services across our district. Um and so that would be up to 14,800 but could be be less. So once a month our librarians are going to be met with the other part of this just to be clear for everybody out there in TV land. Yeah, we are not
054so we've lost a person. So now which salary and benefits. So now we're going to this this contract of only 14,800 in order for us to stay compliant. Right. I have a question because many years ago before you Mrs. Whiteside a long time ago um we did have something like this and then we were told that we had to have somebody a person in that spot as district librarian that we had to. So can you explain how does it get to do this? Yeah, so we reached out to uh Sanino County Superintendent of Schools to find out what are our options available to make sure that we were um informed in the decision. Um one option is a small school district's consortium and that they can share a consultant and uh the county reached out
055for us and there was there was no one available to join a consortium with us. The other option is to go forward with a um a consultant contract. Um the um person that we're working with also consults with another district to do the same services. And this is a just to clarify significant overall savings. Huge. Any other discussion? Call for a vote. All in favor? I opposed passes unanimously. 4 zero. Item 12.20, educational services approval of the proposal to purchase 50 copies of the impact California grade seven student edition world history and geography textbook for Mary Pman Hank intermediate school fiscal impact $5,850 blanket source general fund. Do I have a motion? So moved. Second. Did you second it? I do not. Second. Second. discussion. So, I know why we're doing this. So, my understanding
056is that this is to replenish and make sure that we're in compliance with the Williams Act. Yes. Um but to add to that, we are digitally sufficient at the secondary level. This does support um us being in a position where if we needed to transition between um digitally sufficient back to physical sufficiency, we'd be able to do that. Last year was our first year with secondary being digitally sufficient. So we wanted to make sure that we had the class sets and a little bit of that buffer um in the event that we needed to switch back but we are currently solid with the digital sufficiency. Thank you Mr. Mullen. And a broader question related to curriculum. So just real fast the process we go to select curriculum real fast and then the assurance that we
057have that curriculum gets used once it's selected. Great question. So starting with the adoption process we always start with the committee. You want to make sure that you have representatives from that department and grade level on that committee. We also want to be inclusive and ensure that we have representation uh in terms of supports for ELS as well as supports for students uh receiving special services. Um and we want to make sure that that committee is is comprehensive. Um we start that committee um bring the team together our instructional coaches support with working with our publishers to provide the state board depending on the grade level and content area um the SBE approved u materials for that grade level and content area and we do a review essentially um in that committee meeting to narrow
058down to typically two to three publishers that we're going to pilot. Then we set a time frame for that uh pilot and try to look at similar units by grade level and content area so that when our our teams are taking a look at the materials, they have the rubric for questions in terms of the efficacy of those materials. We look at things again like support for special services, support for EL services, um interventions and enrichment, digital access. Um, but we also look at teacher usability, student usability, and make sure that we're looking at it from all those angles and have an agreed upon rubric so that when they have piloted, our teachers that are part of that pilot process have an opportunity to to return to the rubric. Um, there's also the process of
059the public notification. We have the materials on review for 30 days. Um, here at the district office, um, we do also ensure that there's a digital component um, uh, to all of our newly adopted curriculum. And so we provide not only the physical materials here at the district office but the links to the digital access um so again that our parents can provide those comments and feedback. We do take that com those comments and feedback back to the committee when they're going to review the rubrics and then go ahead and make their determination to move forward. So it's a very comprehensive um full educational partnership in terms of that process. Now, in terms of moving to um uh use of the board adopted curriculum, um we want to make sure that we're looking at standards
060alignment and curriculum alignment, right? Um and so that process is multi-layered. It's working with our site principles. It's working with our instructional coaches. It's working with our teachers and making sure that they have the training that goes along with the adopted curriculum. Um and that's part of if you kind of go back to the adoption process is making sure that you have solid training to support. Um, and then as we go through the Williams sufficiency process, is there more opportunities to learn and and to grow based on the content area? Um, and to find out what works, what doesn't, when can we supplement, when are we using that board adopted curriculum? Um, and again ensuring its use, but also making sure that we are supporting our teachers in that process. Um, sometimes when we do
061get a new curriculum, um, it can be a lot, right? you, especially science, you can get huge kits and and even just going through the inventory of those kits and making sure that you're aligning those with the with the instruction that you're doing, but also taking in some of the historical uh, you know, activities and making them fun and how can you make that engaging for the student. It's an all-encompassing process, but it's multi-layered. It's working all the way together. um you know in terms of uh all of us here um working with our principles, our instructional coaches um supporting our departments, our PLC team uh teams, our leadership teams um again to make sure that's an inclusive process all the way around. So, so what I'm hearing is that the board or the superintendent
062or cabinet is not making the decision in a way that it's really starting at the level of the teachers piloting it to see if it will meet the needs and and going from there and going through the process. Correct. Absolutely. And it is so important that teacher voice is so important and that's why um I think in recent rubrics we've made sure to include the the student efficacy but also important the teacher usability right how accessible is this curriculum um and making sure that our teachers are supported along the way um and they agree upon the rubric in the committee before we even use the rubric right we have to have that collective agreement on these are the criteria by which right outside of just the content standards that we want to see within this
063curriculum before we adopt And how often do we go through all that process and particularly the piloting which seems to be very important? You've already done the rubric and everything. How often does that happen where then we don't really make use of the curriculum? Well, you know, I think that that is a varied process, right? And again, it's supporting our teachers with that implementation. Um, I'll just go back to that. I think it's really important that we support our teachers with the process. Um, so if we don't use it, do you think we didn't listen somewhere along the journey where the teachers that were piloting it didn't what didn't communicate maybe challenges with the curriculum. Um, you know, it's we also want to look at the time frame. Um, there are times where we might
064do an expedited adoption, but we're still fully including all of our teacher teams and the grade levels. Um there's sometimes transition in grade levels or departments um where maybe they weren't part of a pilot, but again they need to get that training and that support um and making sure that they're part of that and that they feel that we're coming alongside um and providing the resources. It's conditions for success, right? When we look at students, we want to create the conditions for success. When we look at at our our teaching staff, we want to give them the conditions for success as well and ensure that they're included in that process. And that's why I appreciate the piloting that we're listening to our educators. it's our educators that are making the decision. We're basically supporting the
065decision of the educators. I think there's also cases when you pilot materials, you decide that's not a match and you have the option in which to then say, I'm going to pilot another another curriculum. Good. So there's there's that opportunity as well. There's flexibility. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I would hope for that. Thank you for that clarification. Any further discussion? Okay, I'm going to call for a vote. All those in favor? I opposed passes unanimously. 4 Z. Moving on to 12.23. Educational Services approval of the renewal agreement for Envision Consulting Group to provide the services of preparing the school accountability report card SARC for all school sites for the 2025 2026 school year fiscal impact $3,150 budget source general funds. I have a motion. So move second. Second discussion. Yeah, I just want to clarify what
066do we actually get for that and and are we actually well no I just what would he get for it? Oh, absolutely. So, we've been partnering with Envision um I think since the time I've been in the district. So, the end of my ninth year um so as a site principal we would work with our representative from Envision on a yearly basis. they would support us with developing the school accountability report card. Um, and and they would go through and support us with putting in the data, the the fit information in terms of the facility inspection tool, the the and I just recently looked at this again because we're updating it for William sufficiency. Um, but square footage, the volume, the acreage of every school, um there's a lot of data to compile there and
067so huge support to our principles um as they're going through their school year, right, to go ahead and compile and support them with that work. Um, so you'll see your school accountability report cards are on our district website as well as available at our schools and in our district in a physical format. Um, essentially this is someone who helps synthesize all of that work and supports our principles with with completion of the SRS on an annual basis. Thank you for that. Which is required. Yes. Further discussion. Just one comment. It also includes our teacher credentials and making sure that those, you know, in terms of who's on a permit, who's not, that's all included in the sucker report. It's a lot of data to compile and it and and you know, having someone to to
068do that and not having our principles overwhelmed and collecting that data, I think, is is is a benefit. Thank you. They're not really there to try to help us improve our testing scores or anything like that. Correct. It's a different service. Okay. I'm going to call for a vote. All those in favor I opposed passes 4 to zero. 12.24 Educational Services approval to purchase Prague Street DLA and math curriculum for transitional kindergarten TK beginning with the 2025 2026 school year fiscal impact $39,814.83 budget source restricted lottery. So moved seconded George in discussion. So again now this is from restricted lottery not our general fund which is great. My understanding is again we have Williams efficiency sufficiency sorry well both and um so explain. Absolutely. So um 2526 first full year of universal TK. Um we
069adopted TK materials in 2012. So that was the last time we had formally adopted English and math. Um and that was Frog Street uh splash into preK. Um so we worked with our TK uh teachers to identify their resources that are remaining for TK and with the increase in our TK numbers coming for 25 26. Want to make sure that we have all of the ELA and math curriculum. This is both um so these kits for our TK4 classes have both English and math embedded. Um for TK for science and history we adopted TK12 I'm sorry TK5 um for amplify and for studies weekly. So if you think of your four core subject areas amplify and studies weekly or TK5 um but in English and math it was K5 um and the TK was identified
070separately as English and math um with Frost Street. So, I did meet with um a uh TK teacher from each of our school sites at each of our elementarymentaries um on a Zoom to go through all their resources and then went through and did a visit on on um how we could support them um with making sure they had this this curriculum available and again aligned to the PTKF which the preschool kinder TK learning foundations. So, my next question is is this was all adopted in 12 2012. So, I know we're doing this because we do have a Williams visit at the beginning of the school year and we need to make sure that we are sufficient in all of our materials. However, do we need to revisit the materials and look at possibly piloting?
071It's something that we can look at. I mean, I I'm just asking because the fact that that is an adoption in it's it's not like horrendous like in the 1990s, but I'm just saying and and it is something that you could take a look at in terms of uh potentially extending like our u our journeys and our goat. Um but again looking at the splash into prek and the frog street uh they align well with the PTKF and so which is aligned to like choice and play um so there there are options available for us. Yeah just one comment if I may that it's a developmental curriculum as opposed to a content driven curriculum. So I think that's the distinction. We have to keep that in mind that the developmental aspects of early childhood education
072are important for choosing those correct those appropriate curriculum. So this still works is basically what I'm getting at. Absolutely. And did a review with each of the school sites in their and they're so they're really cool with it and they were in alignment. Okay. I just want to make sure our TK teachers are to get and is there any issue with supply? What was that? Is there any issue with supply for getting it for next school year? That we're aware. Okay. Any other discussion? I want to call for a vote. All those in favor? I oppose. Passes unanimously. Four to zero. With that, moving on. We have governance team future agenda items planning time allowed for the board of trustees to request agenda items for future meetings. 14.1 none. Moving on to 15.0. Future meeting
073dates. Regular board meetings. Regular board meeting August 14th, 2025 4:00 p.m. Close session 5:30 p.m. Open session 24740 San Maritz Way, Crestline, California 92325. And then we have regular board meeting September 18th, 2025 4 o'clock p.m. close session and 5:30 p.m. open session 24740 San Maritz Way Crest, California recess close session is not necessary and adorment. Do I have a motion to adjourn? I'll give you that motion. Wow. Thank you so much face. Second. Y with the second. Get good. Now do we have discussion? No. I'm just having all those in favor. I pass unanimously. 4 Z. Super interesting. Right now. Welcome Shannon. Pleasure. that they gather.
