First up um I have Amoris Sto representing herself and the topic is teacher concern. Hello board members. Um, I'm sure you all I'm I'm sorry. I'm hoping you I Oh my gosh, I'm already stressed. I hope you guys are all having a fantastic evening. I'm sure you all remember me from the last time I was here and I hysterically cried. Promise I will try to not do that again this time. So, what happened after we talked to you guys? Well, Adam decided to remove the teacher from the class to lower tensions,
006which when talking about it with the students caused a fight among us. A fight where me and Ethan were personally blamed for all the problems we've had over the past couple of months. I'll be honest, it made me want to give up on speaking. This whole situation has made me feel like using my voice is worthless. And the only reason I'm here is because I'm one of the last people that's willing to speak. Every other classmate has told me they no longer care because they know things won't be done. I'll say now, I do have appreciation for the admin throughout this time. After I spoke at the board, they pulled me aside to make sure we had an honest and open conversation about everything going on. They helped when the teacher decided to tank our
007grades. everyone's grades in the advanced class. It took a bit of complaining, but they did take the steps to make sure that we were all graded fairly. It's been an exhausting five months. My senior year was meant to be fun, but this really put a damper on my last year in high school. I want to state no, we did not want him to be removed. We wanted him to learn, and we were so ready to teach him, but his desire was not there. Myself and others offered to help him multiple times, but as I said last time, we were ignored. I wish he had taken us up on our offers because we wouldn't have be be in this position if I did. Um, I also have a statement from a beginning student who said, "The
008class has been advised to focus on our time on writing scripts and material for our house projects. This has given us a short amount of time to film and edit, putting us at a disadvantage in graded assignments that largely isn't our fault. In the event that our films are are not of the greatest quality and we have points knocked off, it would be unfair. I have requested to be anonymous because I do not want to get in trouble. It saddens me that the only way people are willing to talk is when they're anonymous so that they don't get punished. I'm really exhausted and I'm really sick of all of this, but I really hope that promising changes are made. Thank you. Jacob Smith representing Ethan Smith. Topic teacher concern. Though I could not be here
009today, I still wish to have my thoughts air. In the week following the last board meeting, changes were made in our class. These were the only big changes we saw in months. It's a shame that such drastic measures had to be taken for it to happen. Our teacher was removed from the classroom and we are now being watched by a substitute and an admin member. The classroom itself has been less frustrating, but the changes were accompanied by awful action. Without notice or any mention in the syllabus, many of the advanced students grades dropped by 15 to 20%. Assignments were graded at 50% without any mention. We had to send emails to admin to have this corrected and it took a week for it to be fully corrected. Once we discovered that an SD card case
010had been stolen by an unknown student, the teacher seal the drawer with gaffer tape and then move the SD cards to an even less monitored area. This classroom is never monitored and there are never any attempts to keep the space clean. Cords are not coiled. Equipment sits on shelves thrown there and the classroom is a mess with costumes. Yes, we can take some of the blame, but I would also argue that is a teacher's job to make sure the classroom is clean. Beginning TV video students who weren't weren't left out of this either. One student who attended the board meeting was told that people in the class were disappointed in him and that he was taken out of the planning of a class event. Is this the message we want to convey? um that students
011shouldn't speak out of fear of punishment. For an adult employed by a California school district to have such an emotional childish response like this is embarrassing. I belittled myself to my by my own classmates for standing up for myself and what I believed and I'm sick of it. I wanted to give up and I thought of myself, it's not worth it anymore, but I can't bring myself to do that. In the fall, I will be attending Riverside City College, majoring in graphic design. I do wish in my heart that I still had the will and passion pursue film and performance, but sadly I do not. But perhaps a chance will come later in life. Thank you for your time. 82.3 teachers association RTA representative. So Mrs. Marovich Um um okay. Well, I'm glad the negotiating
012um has come to an end. This was probably one of the roughest years we've had. Um, and so there was some damages with relationships due to the the roughness of this year. Um, I'm glad that everybody in the in staff got the same um the same raise and benefits that that we did that we set the tone. Um my ask would be that next year someone else take the hit um not the hit but um some of the pressure of RTA, the emails I got from my own members um the research, the hours spent with CTA um the hatefulness um I don't know since every single unit got the same benefits maybe management could throw out some numbers this time and and get an offer for nothing and have to fight it or I don't
013know. Um, but RTA seems to always be the one begging for money and receiving the hits and the hurt and then everyone ends up with the same amount that we fought for, which everybody deserves. Everyone that works for um RIM is underpaid. We can't keep people in any position. It's rough. But um I will say that RTA does seem to bite the fight for everyone. And I don't know, maybe someone else speaking to management who knows how much money there is could start the fight next year. Um I do um also know some districts that operate in a way where there's way less animosity. Um the school board and management get together. They say how much money there actually is at the beginning of the year. They um go to each unit and say, "All
014right, this is actually how much money there is. Uh this is your piece of the pie. how does your unit want to spend it? And then they spend the rest of the year in negotiations working out logistics or bus schedules, whatever it is, instead of fighting over $500 or how Sydney put it, a couple dozen eggs a month. But I am glad that we can move on now and uh move on to happier times. Stay Anybody here representing CSEA? Okay, we'll move on. 9.0 reports and presentations. 9.1 We have a student representative report which will um actually be um tabled until our next meeting. We don't have much in the report for this meeting. And um since our student representative isn't here, he will be here in our next meeting. will be able to do
015both. So, moving on to 9.2 governing board members. Do I have anybody who wishes to start? Go Scott. That's Bill. Go. Well, first off, congratulations to the real jazz band on their second place finish at Riverside Community College. That's really cool. Um, just another example of students excelling um even sometimes with limited resources. But you also have to acknowledge that it's the teacher that helps with that as well and makes that be successful. I'm amazed that they actually did that without their own drummer. And that but the what was really cool is that the the drummer that filled in from RCC was actually a rim graduate. And then the when they had their clinic with the two two uh associate professors from RCC, those were also rim graduates. So our our people excel elsewhere as
016well. So that that's kind of exciting. Um I'm glad that we took some time as a district to appreciate our teachers. You know, whenever you recognize and thank one person, it's almost like, okay, but is some does someone else get missed? And just the fact is um as a board member, I I appreciate the people across the board that that serve this district from all the different levels. And that's both teachers as well as support staff, management, um, even cabinet. They didn't hear me. Okay. Thank you. Um, I had the privilege of being at the open house at VOE and we we did our own walking around to do time with trustees and also enjoyed the time of the open house at room virtual academy. And um so just some of the things I'm continuing
017to watch what's happening with the May revise as the governor has now put out his May revise and he's still trying to take some funds away from education only 1 what is it4 billion that he wants to remove from from the required minimum Prop 98 funds. So just watching that and and thinking about my concerns there and what what's happening both uh in the state and then federally. So we we'll continue to watch the where things are financially and we have a couple of meetings coming up where we'll be getting more guidance on what the what the governor's budget means for us. Right Jenny? So, and that's kind of what I've been involved in recently. So, thank you. You for going next? Sure. Well, good evening. Um, appreciate uh folks coming out and uh some
018of our board meetings. Um, like Bill said, uh, the May Reise is top of mind. It just came out a couple yesterday. Yesterday. Yeah. Week's been a blur. Um and uh there's a lot to dig into. There's um commendable areas of of the May revise and there are areas where like Bill mentioned there is likely an unconstitutional manipulation of Prop 98 funds uh which would not be great for for districts. Districts like ours in particular are already chronically underfunded uh which has been a longtime challenge and a long point of advocacy for our district. So hopefully we can work to mitigate that challenge. Um there is talk about potential uh um I think AXA had put out a statement that they're looking at potential legal avenues uh since it's the second time in the second
019year that Prop 98 has been manipulated in a way that is perceived as unconstitutional um and likely is. So uh we'll be fighting for every dollar we can for our students and our staff. Uh so um looking forward to the May revise workshop and the budget perspectives workshop coming up. Like Bill mentioned it's open house season. So uh RBA's had a great one. They had a ton of pizza from Domino's. It was great turnout. Um it was nice to talk with everyone there. Looking forward to Mountain High School's less m uh yeah coming up at the end of the month. Um and uh of course if you're interested in uh chatting um always available uh and uh I might not be at the farmers market every weekend like I have been historically but I am
020there quite regularly. So if you'd like to come chat about uh whatever's on your mind from school district-wise and you know you want to pick up some groceries it might be an easy way to get the two in one done there. Um otherwise you can always email me. We can set up a time to be chat. Thanks, Cindy. I also want to congratulate the Jazz fan for receiving second place. Again, small but mighty. Their numbers are small, but holy cow do they pack a punch. Just like just like Harry Stevie. Oh, look at it. Got that in there. Okay, so um I went to Goosebumps. Really adorable. Adorable musical. Kids did a great job. I love the fact that the drama students paint one wall in the lobby of the PAC the theme of the
021of the show so that you could do selfies and pictures in front of it. And I told the Nicholases that I would really love for them to keep this one because is near and dear to my heart. And they did a really great job with that painting. So, congratulations to the kids and the Nicholas's and and both the tech kids as well as the actors. Um, then the next day I went to um coast to coast to Washington DC to advocate. There were over 300 superintendent and schoolboard members that descended on Washington. It was crazy. It was so awesome. Lots of information, lots of advocacy. Um, we did meet with Congressman Olberalty. Usually Congressman give you like 15, 30 minutes. We got a whole hour with him. In fact, during the course of the time,
022we had been talking about 15 minutes when they rang and they needed his vote. So, he's like, I will be back in six minutes. Just stay here. And we're like, oh, okay. And literally six minutes later, he returned to have more conversation with us. I will give more of that with court later, but I just want to say that CSBA and AXA did an amazing job of putting together speakers for us. We learned a lot about the condition and status of the Department of Education, about the different various programs that we rely upon um federal funding for. We also spoke to we had legislators come and speak to us like um Congressman uh Kevin Kylie, Adam Gray. Um then we were in the house in the capital building itself in the house dining rooms which
023are like fit to receive kings. They're so beautiful. But during that reception of two hours, um legislators could drop in and um talk to us. So we had Ted Lou, Judy Judy Chu, Nancy Pelosi, um, and Adam Ship came. Um, so we it was we we really did have an impact. Um, I think and I also developed some really new relationships, including with the county school board member that I had not really had a lot of contact with. So I was really appreciative of being able to spend several days with her. um open houses. Let's see. Staff appreciation. It was it was a long week. Um um I want to thank the PTAs for putting it together and being able to really treat our staff well. And um I want to commend the PTA for
024VO at VOE for as part of their staff appreciation redoing with 300 community volunteer hours and everything pretty much for free redoing their staff lounge. It came out fabulous. So I hope you guys were well fed. Transportation maintenance. Hope you love that Rosa Maras because that was awesome. Um then we have the open houses went to RVA. I'm excited about next week. Lots more. Finish it out at the end of the month with CH. Uh senior scholarship awards Monday night. Um it's where our community organizations come together. Um last year almost $130,000 was given to our students from community organizations. I'm on Brim Scholarship Council and I know that we have 52 student applicants including one from Mountain and three from um Brim Virtual and all 53 students will be getting a scholarship and so
025we're giving out over $44,000. So I'm really proud of our community, but more importantly the community interviewers that came to Ram High to interview the students for two days. They were inspired by our kids. The same comments from the Wasp visiting committee. They they are inspired by the future generation. They have hope for the future generation. They just they commended our students for being so articulate, so delightful, so engaging to have a conversation with. So, I just want to say that that sometimes some of our schools get um bashed by saying that we don't have great kids, that we have issues, we have problems, la. They need to to come and see what a lost visiting team and our community members see when they speak to our students and when they tour our schools. It's
026a whole different perception. and be happy at any time to meet with someone and tell you how amazing our schools are because I am on campuses and I just have to say I will fight for the they're amazing campuses and we have amazing kids and we do have amazing staff. So with that I'm going to keep the rest of my report to the legislative report side because I there's a lot going on. Thank you. And oh, and have a great rest of the month because I know we're all hanging on by a thread. Guess we'll go online. First, I wanted to thank the student speakers. I think anybody should be able to speak and should be encouraged at any time to speak. I think it's so necessary and I appreciate it that they do that.
027It's tough. It's not going to always go easy. Um, the one thing I I missed the last board meeting, so I didn't I had a bunch of stuff that I wanted to say on that and I'm just going to I I agree with RTA that um we need to have a better way of communicating what needs to happen because we keep we keep it's like us and them here and it really shouldn't be that way. It should not be that way at all, but it's been that way forever since I've been here. And it's been I think it's been much more brutal than it's been this year. I've uh experienced way worse than this. And I think things have gotten better. And um our teachers, our staff, our community members are outstanding. Our students, I
028think, have a great experience up here. I know I did when I went to rim when I went to MBH. I enjoyed for me it was the best experience I could have had cuz I went to several other schools all over Southern California and uh it was not good. And when I got up to rim started sixth grade at FP, it was amazing. Changed my life. Great coaches, great teachers, and I think we still have that. Um, cola is such a tough thing and it's sad that we are one against the other and that few months ago when people were sending us emails and making comments that were frankly unwarranted and and sad that people would and that they had to feel like they did that was sad because our state is doing a terrible
029job. Our state does not fund our schools the way they should be. And if you do not, and I've said this before, but if you don't understand supplemental and duplicated monies and how the state runs the state, it is one of the saddest situations I have ever seen. You could not run a business this way. And our state, anybody that is passionate about this should be talking to CTA and your state representatives because they are failing our school. When you have Anaheim that can just, oh, our budget's lower, so we're going to drop 60 plus teachers, we have to do and live within our means. And so when we're hit with that, it it's not as bad for us because we have to fight this fight every single year because we're not funded correctly. If
030you took you could take two twins and when I was in class, the person that was speaking one time in class, this was an actual situation that she was in. She was a divorced parent. They had two twins. They both were at one time going to one school where the school fully funded everything from sports to every activity, whatever they needed. And then she ended up taking custody of the one student and went to a different school district. And at the other school district, the twin got almost nothing. The money should follow the kids and it should be not based on the supplemental and duplicated monies because it's just not fair when you can do something like that and all of a sudden you lose your funding that you were getting before. And if you
031don't understand how it's funded, I please learn and write letters, emails, and get upset about it because our state is failing our kids and it should not be us against them in a small district like that. We should support each other 100% all the time. Thank you. Good evening. Just to add to Scott's point, I did some research in terms of within the county um count Sanino County in terms of funding in comparing rims what we receive compared to what Sanino City Unified gets per student. Understand first our costs are a lot higher. So we have transportation costs that are significantly higher than most of the school districts down the hill. We also have maintenance costs that are significantly higher because of weather. Um, and at the same time, so our overhead is higher. We
032receive about 80 cents on the dollar than what is average in the state. And Sanino City Unified gets $120 on the dollar per student. Um, in terms of, you know, a lot more. So, they're getting 20% higher than average. We're getting 20% lower than average. And we're expected to be able to provide excellence, which we do, but it has its cost. And unfortunately, it's incredibly frustrating. We are doing what we can, but at the same time, there is a lack of equity. There is a lack of fairness in the structure at Sacramento level. And so, it's incredibly challenging. So, just wanted to let that be known. So um we having been a former teacher I mean across the board obviously all of us definitely um prioritize education and it's very frustrating and we share your
033frustration because you're living with it at the same time. Um hopefully in the future we can continue to make our voices heard. Any help we can get from the community to magnify our voices we would appreciate it. Um, also mentioning the May revise. What does that mean? So, um, the, uh, Governor Newsome came out with a budget proposal in January. Legislators played around with it. They went ahead and did some evaluation, further further research. I guess it's a couple days ago. N came out with his revision of his budget. So, the May reise is his January budget revisited. and um contractually actually um by um there's a prop 98 that was passed many many years ago at this point what he has proposed is not legal and again we'll be short changing school districts so
034the May revises come out and we have training that will be happening over the next week or two helping to get us up to speed and hopefully there will be revisions on the revisions before it actually gets solidified but at this point there is in terms of the whole state is concerned concerned. Um, looks like the state at this point with Newsome's proposed budget will not be meeting its obligations. Whatever they agree upon, we have to make do with while there's legal action that's taking place to try and rectify any wrongs that might happen. So, that's the situation we're in right now. When you're hearing a revise, it's where the budget is currently based on what Newsome has proposed. It has not been unsolidified yet. So, enough of that. frustrating as it is, want to
035um I love all the different things that everybody has brought up. I'm trying to figure out what is the things that haven't been mentioned yet. One of them is Ruire had a phenomenal performance earlier this month. I think it was on May 2nd. They came in second in a competition in Fullerton and adding and so again our band, our choir, our our students just do phenomenally. There's a specific shout out to see here um a let me see actually I'm looking at the wrong one here I will find it but um one of the students got here we go I'm sorry about this folks um Hannah Tolman was uh gave a a special shout out at the competition for as the outstanding musician award. So that was with um at this competition of Fullerton I
036just turned my mic off. So that was in Fullerton. Um uh Friday MPH had their music performance both choir and their um band and that was amazing. And next year if you have a chance to be able to see MPH band beginning of the year, see them in the middle of the year, see them at the end of the year, it's so much fun to see how much they they progress. So it went to that and that was fantastic. Um tomorrow is for free. Um Ram High's band and choir are performing at 6 PM at the P performing arts center. So, um, I would really suggest going and checking that out. They are, as you've already heard, the rewardinning choir. The New England band will be performing free and definitely it' be lovely. Next Wednesday,
037May 21st at the high school, um, is wellness Wednesday. It'll be from 11 to 2 and then open to the community, the Mountain Health and Resource Fair. There will be all sorts of freebies provided at these um at this event um for athletes who are looking to compete next year or rim. Free physicals will be um will be um provided. So if they want to be get that check mark happening, they go to this fair both either at um from the 11 to 2 or 4 to 7 receive a free physical for CIF. There'll also be um various health screenings. There will also be free free bike helmets that um Sky Park will be handing out. Um supplies will be limited. Um the gyms will be providing demonstrations. There will be just all sorts of
038great stuff. So go to the Mountain Health and Resource Fair from 4:00 to 7:00 at the high school. Um let me see what else I have here. Um various things that I attended. But um there's we have an active board. We're doing We love We love our district. I love our district. I love our community. I appreciate our staff so much. And um like Cindy had said, this last portion, the sprint at the end of the year can be exhausting and emotional and just uh hang in there. You got this. Keep on doing all you are doing for our students. We appreciate it. And um have a fantastic next month. Thank you. Okay. 9.3 Superintendent Dr. Paul Seviano. Good evening everybody. One of the board goals this year is to really uh continue to support
039a positive district culture and we've done a lot of good work there this year. It's been a difficult year, but I think there's been a lot of positives that have come out of the school year. One of the ways that we are and trying to develop that culture, really what that culture is, culture, we talk about culture, it's the glue that holds your your staff together. And one of the things that we're doing is really looking at staff recognition. Tonight, uh we are recognizing our staff. Unfortunately, we had a scheduling conflict and it's on the same night. But the purpose of this is really to show the importance of acknowledging and celebrating the successes and achievements of our school employees. So tonight at the we the second year in a row we've coordinated with Lake
040Gregory Rotary Club and Crestline Lake Gregory Rotary Club um at the Thousand Pines Conference Center to recognize outstanding staff and community members and uh so tonight uh we're recognizing uh the following individuals for their outstanding contributions to the district. Uh VOE actually they they picked two VOE. I don't know how they got they got two though. Uh Mickey Cavalero uh the new beauty aid was being recognized tonight. Give her another one. Julia is it DLE or DEL? Okay. Is the classroom aid special education? Let's give her a reply. We have Andrew Maui, our attendance clerk, who's going to be Colleen Stabbing, our attendance clerk. And Strawa, our teacher, will be recognized for the Brit High School. I hope I get the name right. Carla Maligoli Bey the teacher will be recogniz Harryman our secretary will
041be recognized virtual academy Darland Phillips our teacher will be recognized about this we got a recognition to our own Veronica Palio our administrative assistant on behalf of the entire district we congratulate the successes of these employees and value the positive impact they have on our district and most importantly on our students. That's the Empire report. Thank you. 9.4 Educational Services presentation of the 2024 2025 data at Mary Punam Hank Intermediate School. Thank you for having me esteemed members of the board, honorary board members of the cabinet. All right, Mary Putnham and Hank, we uh we've been striving to to build culture the glue as Dr. Seviana was referring to. Uh I think with that we we build up from there. Next slide. I'm going to go um NP student learners and achievement. Uh the most
042effective and impactful classroom intervention and support start with engaged learners receiving dynamic instruction and that starts with a safe and clean environment to do that in. We have professional learning community, clear learning targets and success criteria for our students. Um clear and high expectations restorative practices, our inclusion, I can't talk enough about what we have uh continued um building up from from our inclusion program. We are adding several more sections of inclusion. We are going for East Valley SOP ribbon of inclusion. We are in a good place to achieve that. We look to start with the bronze and go up from there. um our EL supports. We have hired a second ELA for the second half of the day, which is just a phenomenal asset to our classroom. It's a 3.75 position at the second
043half of the day. It's not been easy to fill, but we just landed in the gold ring with Miss um Mr. Hernandez. Um we have wonderful EL staff and teachers. One is behind me. Uh we have academic tutoring. We continued um moving around funds to continue our high impact tutoring plan which was started with the the learning block grant. We have now put in money in title one to keep that tutoring program going. We try to be responsive to the needs of the community. That seems to be um some some strength that we are building trust, fostering relationships and being responsive to what the students, the families and and and what what people need to to enjoy school. They have to come to school and be happy to learn culture, climate and engagement. Um, we
044implement a robust multi-tered system of support. Our counselor, Paul Fernandez, is dynamic. He's able to split himself into thirds somehow and and address so many things and be in the classroom yet be supporting in his office when need be. Our ASB has been a huge asset. Our leadership program and teacher are keeping the community informed. are keeping events going, more dances. Uh May 21st, please come to the open house. We're going to have food trucks. We've opened it up to the whole community. If you're coming to NPH or if you are coming of age to come to MPH but you go to a different school or NP student or family, please come. Everybody's invited. It'll be a great time. 5 to 7 4 to 5 banter with the board. Is that what we're calling it?
045Yeah. No, book fair and book fair. Thank you. Scholastic bookf fair in the library. Um and we have been implementing building more leadership capacity within our teams including our students. Uh we have changed our name to the guiding coalition. Everybody's invited. We do have members. Um, but we we feel like empowering our teachers and our staff to identify inequities in our systems and and create solutions to those is is creating areas where administration can spend time um supporting students and being in the classrooms which is the greatest joy of an administrator site in the street. Um, NP administration is committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment by prioritizing positive relationships, customer service. Thank you, Mr. Hansen, for your push on this. I mean, um, and mutual respect across uh, our campuses. and we
046we have made great improvements with receiving more compliments than complaints and and we're proud of that and that's a it's not an easy feat and we take it very seriously and our staff is right on board with us and I can't thank the teachers and staff enough for what they do for our kids come it's a great place to be. Um, our restorative approaches are strengthening our commitment to equitable and consistent discipline practices, consequence practices, ensuring that all students feel heard, valued, and supported. Mrs. Ro takes a dynamic approach to parent contact. Um, we call parents before any intervention is in place. We take a collaborative approach. We create partnerships. what we do at school is carried on at home and it is empowered to we're empowered and the family is empowered to support the
047kid um on both ends of of their life. We're getting much higher impact than just a consequence and singularity which destroys relationships with students, families and staff. Um, Mr. Ro takes great pride in having kids um thank her when they leave her office and they know that they're being treated equitably based on the fact that they got to call their mom and they got to talk to the teacher, they got to talk to the other student, they got to write a letter or whatever it may be. the meaningful engagement at MPH. I mentioned this in the first slide, but we are trying to be responsive to families needs to want their kids to go to field trips. Uh we've allocated funds in the SIPA uh for field trip monies for all three grade levels to
048go for a field trip and we will pay for the buses to bring down charges. Um we implemented a field trip coordinator to support that effort as well as a staff position. Those are some of the the big pieces that our community wanted and we are we are offering those happily. We are we had our school site council this morning and the team was very pleased with with the way the sit came out and what we're going to do with that money for students. We have all of the the things in place for the readiness days, steps for success, uh semester award ceremonies, um again being responsive to what the schools need and what students need in the community. We've added an awards category for completing the CASP test and having perfect attendance in the
049month that the CASP was implemented. Uh we have many students that received that award and they're going to get a certificate from Senator Joel Boa's office and a fun toy from a community member that was donated a spin board which is off the chain. Excellent. Um and it's going to go up from there. This is the first year that that we're doing this. The kids are going to see these kids. We're going to have like 75 of these things around campus out of nowhere. And people are going to want that thing. um CCGI career colleges.edu edu. We have all eighth grade students um prepared to go to the next level with starting a profile for the ever impressive program of those students being able to have access to the Cal State Colleges at automatic enrollment
050by the time they leave high school. We're getting started in 8th grade this year and next year 6th through 8th grade will have a profile, take the interest surveys and take the job uh opportunity surveys as well. So the time they get to to RIM, they will be uh wellversed in in how to not how to apply but but where where they will be needing to apply is all within that website. Thank you Mrs. Wea for getting us started. Um, our partnership with Solution Tree has been ever impactful throughout this school year. Uh, our teams are far more um informed in in their ability to identify essential standards, home informative assessments, create learning targets, level learning groups for interventions um based on on what we are learning together with Solution Tree, our coach Jane Ardell.
051Um, this partnership has carried over into 2526 school year with some clever spending of the CSI money. We are not in CSI anymore, so we cannot get funding this year, but we had some carryover and we were able to spend that before the deadline of the end of September. So between August and September, our all of our core teachers have two full days to work in the GBC land of solution tree. So science and history will be a part of this training as well. Our initial target was math and ELA this year. Next year we'll have all four course measuring student success. We come some data that is not at st outstanding but it is an improvement. Small improvements that are proven to last. Um these are scores around 22 23. Um overall Leo students
05229 almost 23 or 30% of ELA students passed about 13% in math. Last school year in the 23 24 we went up um some percentage points in both categories. It's important to note here that we took some serious hits by not hitting the 95% rate of students completing the CASP for the score or completing the CASP which gives us the lowest score of five students. So those numbers would have been a percentage or two higher I imagine at our grade students been able to complete the test. The the incentives this year appear to be happen appear to be helping excuse me. I anticipate we will reach that 95% with Mr. O'Kee's testing coordinates coordinator's dynamic efforts and getting the majority of students tested attendance. Um there is no excuses but this year was a tough
053year for our kiddos. There was there was trauma and oppressed trauma that came back up. no power for large portions of our community for days on end. Um yet we still made we still made gangs um and certain metrics including the 95% metrics went up by 11 students and our perfect attendance went up by one student. We're very proud of all those students accomplishing it. It was it was the attendance was just hard to hard to manage when there's fires and and storms and snow days. It's hard to get consistent. Some more of our inclusion. This is the district's inclusion team designed and formulated these this inclusion mission statement. It is a fantastic um piece to to run to run with and to use it as your guiding target for our inclusive practices. This is
054in every classroom and across campus. Our e program, Mr. is going to talk about this further, but this year we did uh we classify every single eligible student at a rate of 100%. Yeah, we went out for last school year, our leadership students took it upon themselves to create a formula for the MPH student and ways that we can show that we are proud Mountain Lions. M PH, not lying, positive, honorable, welcoming, countable, countable, countable, and you here's some of our pictures of our wonderful students uh in action, our ever ending continuous improvement for the next school year. We look to further refine and support each layer of our MTS through improved practices, leveraging of financial and human resources, building capacity and leadership in students and staff. Uh continue to build and foster community partnerships.
055We will deepen our level of implementation at the GBC through experience, genius, and continuity partnerships which solution tree in partnership with the Sanino County and PH's land practices and engaging e and inclusion support training monthly for all staff. just get a bit redundant here. We're going to go on to the next slide. Um, we're really trying to do more for everybody and be better at it every step of the way. Um, our commitment to growth through systems and collaboration. NPH is committed to fostering a continued improvement, continuous improvement by building systems that identify areas of growth and implement data-driven solutions. This includes developing collaborative think tank made up of both students and staff, one that promotes a culture of learning, leadership, and shared responsibility vision. All efforts uh will remain fully aligned with the California
056Educational Code, federal and state laws and regulation, county policies and enforcement measures, and board policy. Last but not least, thank you. Good. Perfect uh perfect attendance for the school year. Yeah, I think it was nine last year. How many do you think it'll be this year? And they get Did it was eight last year. Um No, no, you're right. It was eight and then 9 24 25. This year I think we're looking at upwards of that. That's a Did I go work down with Sky Park? They get a free pass, right? Yeah, we're going we're going Oh, that that incentive as well. Thank you for that. We're actually going there for the principal's field trip Wednesday and then Yes. Thank you. And one other question just because I I love your passion for the students.
057What's it feel like to be a student for NPH now you're principal? Let me tell you, I've been in that principal's office as a kid and and and it's given me such insight on what these kids are and it's so helpful to to to to be there for them in ways that that I know will will impact their lives positively. It feels real good and it's an honor. Thanks for asking. It's great. It's great. Oh, awesome. Honesty. That's because the whole community knows it. All right. Thank you all. Actually, I do have a question. We'll learn more about the uh the take that will for looking forward in terms of the students and staff like what what's the what's this what's that going to look like? That sounds really really interesting. Well, our students next
058year, we plan to have collaborative meetings with set aside time for teachers, students, and staff to to really identify equitable practices that we want to create and and maintain it, excuse me, and inequitable practices that we we need to solve. And we we want to set aside time to to do that as a family. That's what the the exact logistics.com, but it's going to be a lunch. I'm gonna want to hear more about that. I'm excited about that. Any more questions? Thank you so much. Thank you. Say here. Yeah. Go ahead. 9.5 education services educational services presentation of the AVID known as advancement via individual determination report and highlights for the 2024 2025 school year at Mary Pam Hank Intermediate School MVID we have three sections to make more of a elective wheel. We have
059our two sections that would normally be having one and two separately. We have those teamed up together. Uh it creates a more communal effort to get the grade levels crossed up a little bit sooner and it makes scheduling um better for students to get into the classes that that they would prefer to be in. Mr. Pet is our coordinator and the eighth grade class teacher. the eighth grade classes separate. Um, we do the interview process. We follow all the AVIT tutorials. That that class seems to work extremely well. Uh, I love walking into the class when we have students at the board, uh, showing other students how to do math problems or write a, uh, sentence without a dangling modifier or any of those those those things that students really can teach each other, the
060the best way to learn, they say, is peer-to-peer. And when we get these kids thinking and working together and solving problems and led by the average principles, including question of inquiry, it is highly supportive to collaboration and learning. Uh we took two field trips um this year towards the University of Redlands and Sanino Valley College which maintains to be the best field trip that our kids go on. Valley College, they get into the NPR studio and they lose their mind. They and the glass blowing and the nursing and they have a joyous time and the pictures really show off um how much the kids enjoy it. We'll be sending two teachers to the Avid Summer Institute. um Miss Smith and Miss Daniels and uh we have several candidates I believe that may be added right
061off the competition coming up from California theater performance for sixth and seventh grade tutorials, career onepage projects, reminder binders, uh grade checks, th those are highly impactful that our students in the class show to have. um better responsiveness to their own education and better ownership on it based on the grade checks, college research, citing textual evidence, team building, focus notating, taking 8th grade tutorials, college and career researches projects, reminder with the college and career research project in 8th grade was was phenomenal. I was in there and they were looking at colleges in California that I frankly had never heard of and didn't know exist and they all these colleges are doing some incredible things. Um I think many of our kids decide to go to colleges based on the cafeteria food that um I would
062write off in PhD I would write off this year for all three classes that that hasn't happened in the past. We have missing glasses before. So we're very proud of that. Um representation as the California theater performing arts for the AV runoff competition ceremony. We we did I know at least have bro Elizabeth Garcia Sarah Radley and honorable mentions of Amy Mareno and William Martinez. Congratulations to all them. There they are at the University of Redmond and that wonderful building with the columns and the steps. That's the Valley College trip. I love that picture with the kiddos in the helicopter. Why I talked to some of those students and they will be going to college based on their experiences of seeing one at such a young age. I would like to see our sixth and
063seventh grade classes get there as well. Here is some quotes from our students. I learned how to believe in myself. Evan has helped me become more organized and confident. What a meant to me was having a second family in school. all of them. They're all very passionate. Excellent. Thank you. That's it. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, we're good. Just make sure it all really should have just put up one picture. at the end. That looks that fantastic. Okay. Oh, 9.6 educational services presentation of the AVID advancement via individual disciplation report and highlights for the 2024 2025 school year at Rim of the World High School. Hold your applause, please. All right. Now that you heard all the fabulous things that happened at MPH, I'd want to take a moment to highlight a lot of the
064things that we're doing um at RIM and a lot of the successes that we're seeing with our students. I'm at RIM. We're part of the Rims AVID, which is Riverside in Mano, San Bernardino, and it's a a huge um aid consortium of, you know, this year, I believe they said there were about 3,500 seniors graduating amongst all of the schools. So, we're in good company. Um we have four sections um one at each grade level 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. The 9th and 10th grade are really focusing on the um on wicker getting their tutorials good, their grades, making sure they're on an A throughG track um college and career exploration, the CCGI that Mr. Gomes talk about talked about at the middle school. We're also implementing at the high school. It's a it's a
065launch point for anything they want to do, college or career, whether that's trade school or community college or Cal State or UC getting their FAFSA done, career interest surveys. There's something to happen at every single grade level from 6 through 12. Um we're looking at a schoolwide roll out next year, but AVID's really taken the lead in it and it's we're receiving wonderful positive feedback from the students. Um 11th grade the big focus is on our um the preparation personal insight questions as well as um getting an understanding of what their next step will be. While 12th grade is all about the college application, the FAFSA and the post-secary plan. We currently have 127 students which is roughly 15% of our entire high school population with 100% graduation rate. Um assuming they all cross the
066finish line in three weeks. Um and then right now we have a 93% of our current seniors. We have a 93% uh four-year acceptance rate across all of them. Uh the way we set up our program is that every student has the same teacher for two years. At the ninth and tth grade level, they have Miss Deli and then um Miss Schuljack and Miss Ortega Williams splot back and forth. So one year one teaches 11th, the other teaches 12th and then they follow their kids. So there's two years across and all of them have um a dedicated AVID counselor with Mrs. Dubois who's been doing it for many many years and is quite specialized at at what she does. Um last year we sent uh 10 teachers to Avid Summer Institute. We're sending another 10
067this year. That means roughly half of all of our teachers are AVID fully AVID trained um and implementing those AVID strategies in the core classes. That's starting to show. We just finished our AVID certification. we were certified for the 2526 school year. Um, and we moved kind of down their scale from implementation, meaning that all the AVID strategies are happening appropriately in AVID electives to emerging school widening. They're starting to see it in all the core classes. They're starting to see it in our site teams uh, classrooms. and more and more of these strategies that have proven to be successful for our students across the um AVID program are now reaching out to a lot of other students and things that don't necessarily tie directly to college organization, you know, writing, collaboration, all of those
068different strategies that will help them no matter what their college or career path are. We're beginning to seep out beyond the AVID electives, which is really exciting. Good. I think so. Um here's some uh pictures from our freshman and sophomore classes. Um they're doing everything from, you know, promotions to college uh college posters. A big emphasis on focus notes and being able to process the information, not just write the information down, but then, you know, avoiding what's called the curve of forgetting and that they're revisiting it. They're revisiting an hour. They're revisiting in 24 hours. They're revisiting it in 7 days. They're revisiting it in 28 days. and that it shows to increase retention and then therefore you know helps them to access the material better. Um one of the highlights of the program is
069our AVID junior trip um um which happened the first week of March um they went to I believe 20 different campuses across sorry 13 different campuses across six days um all over. What was really cool about this trip is a lot of the schools they go to, most of them up north, Sacramento State, Fresno State, Humble, um I would say probably at about half of them, the tour that they got was put on by a room grad, which is really cool. Um, so and actually I think yeah on this one right here that picture on the right that's a 2020 ring grad um who uh got special access to the lab that he was working in took the kids through it and so it was just that rim connection that you know is really spanning
070all over California every single year we come back or the kids come back that's crazy five days that's insane um but uh the kids come back with just amazing stories and absolutely wonderful testimonials about You know, and it's interesting. Some of them come back and say, "Wow, I learned I don't want to be that far away from home and I'm not doing that, right?" And then other ones come back and say, you know, "Wow, I didn't even understand, you know, what was really just right in our own state that I have access to, which which is really, really cool. Here's a couple of them." Um, the trip really put into perspective how far uh many of these colleges are and how much I'll miss my family, as well as how much help colleges offer to
071Latinx first generation students. Uh, the trip made me realize how small we are compared to other cities and campuses. I'd never been on an actual college tour, and I didn't think about going to college too much, but throughout the entire week, I started to think about what I wanted to do when I graduate, and if I'll be able to get into schools that I want to go to, like UCSC and SAK State. Visiting the schools gave me a small glimpse of what college might be like for me and gave me information that helped me guide me in a general direction for what career I might want to pursue. I'm glad I had this opportunity to go on this trip. So, I mean there's it's really a life-changing trade because what's really important to understand about
072our AV program is is so often um at the at you know any school and RI's no exception to that is certain programs will just glom on you know maybe a kid that'll already be successful right and it's like you know that kid no matter if that kid was at RIM or Citrus Valley or Beverly Hills High School they'd be an AP they get a 4 billion GPA and they graduate and go to UC famous right I mean that's not what our AVID program is I Mrs. Dubois does an excellent job of targeting students, the middle kid that actually can use the help first generation college student. Sure, there's some highf flyers. Sure, there's some kids that are next level, but um I I am a firm believer that this is one of the most
073impactful programs that we have on our campus. I also like when they come back, they're they're college sweat sweatshirts, all of them. Cal Poly Slow Pumb. So, it's really funny because you you know when they've been there because all of a sudden everybody's wearing college sweatshirts. Really cute. Um this is our AVID senior group. Um with Miss Joeljack buried way in the middle of that picture there. Um what I really wanted to point out though is that background behind them. Um she has every single AVID senior listed and you see all those little slips of white paper. Those are all the different colleges that they applied to. And then that each individual kid. So each column is a kid and that's everything they've applied to and then as they get accepted put the stickers as
074they get accepted and there's just this wall if you ever go into Miss Schuljack's room of all the successes that the students have been in you know every Cal State ever you see tons of privates out of states community college trade schools like it's all up there and you know it's it's a real point of pride of you know everything that these kids are accomplishing now uh last week was it last week two weeks ago was all blooming together. I don't know. But our avid seniors had a really exciting event that we attended. Mrs. Whiteside and I went down to the Toyota Arena um for their AVID Brims Avid Senior Recognition. Um so it it was huge. There was about 3,000 students there, about 10,000 people. Um if you look at the picture on the
075right, that's one of our seniors, Oly Victoria, and she gave a speech in front of that whole crowd. Um, and she I'm we're gonna watch it in just a second. Right, Mark? All right. Mark prompts me to work. It was a short one minute speech, but it was such a cool event to see all these schools come together. Um, a a representative from Beach High School gave a little a short speech. If you look at the banner, if you look really closely at the picture, which I'm sure you can't see from where you're at, but that banner going around the arena, that's the names of all of our kids that, you know, and so they all popped up. Mrs. I gave a fabulous speech because she told me I couldn't show it tonight, so we're
076not going to watch her speech. No, Marty said he had it. Oh. Oh. Um, but it it was just such a special event and the kids were so excited about it. And so, Mark, if you don't mind, would you cue up that video? It's it's only about a minute long, but it's it's a it's a pretty impactful video that shows what um what AVID's all about. Good evening everyone. My name is Odyssey Victoriao and I'm representing the RIM AVID class. Uh the rim of the world AVID class and this fall I'll be attending UC Berkeley. Um avid seniors from rim of the world, please rise. Growing up as an English language development student, I often felt excluded, different, and unsure of myself. But joining AVID gave me a community of people who understood my struggles
077and helped me build confidence in my abilities. Because of AVID, I'll become the first in my family to graduate high school and the first to attend college, something I thought I'd never be able to accomplish. Thanks to the AVID program, my AVID classmates, and my wonderful AVID teacher, Miss Souljack, I was able to discover my passion for psychiatry so I can continue helping others feel seen, heard, and supported just like Avid did for me. Thank you. And go [Applause] Scots. I'm not crying. You're crying. It it's a really impactful program. We're really proud of our kids and the work that the teachers do to keep that program and and Mrs. Well, it keeps the program going is just phenomenal and I'm very proud to to to be a part of that exceptional program. So, thank
078you very much. Hey. Okay. Thank you, Brian. 9.7 Educational Services Presentation of the English Learner EL Report and Title 3 English Learner EL Master Plan Report for the 2024 2025 school year. All right. Good evening, trustees, cabinet, superintendent. Thank you for giving us opportunity to share with you our EL report. Um, I do have with me today our EL coordinator from MTH, Mr. Gabas. So, he will be doing a good amount of our presentation today, but we'll get started here. Um, and I do want to emphasize a little bit on Odelise Victoria. Um, what a great segue to go into our EL report. um is she shared her experience um and she's sitting next to me and she's getting nervous. Room was one of the last um schools to present and she's like, "Can you
079look at my my speech? Yes, I'm ready." And I said, "You absolutely deserve to be up there and go speak like it." And she did such an amazing job. and as she spoke about her experience of being an EL student um and um wanting others to feel seen and heard and that that AVID gave her that venue and that method to be able to do that. It was just really awesome to be to even sit next to her and to be part of a great night for her and she did such an amazing job when you're standing there if you haven't before on the stage of the Toyota Arena that's quite overwhelming, right? for even an adult. And here is this that these seniors representing each of their high schools um and speaking so eloquently
080of about their appreciation for AVIDS. It was just really an an exciting event to be part of. So join us next time if you would like to. Um all right, I'm going to give you a couple of district highlights. Then we're going to talk a little bit about the title fleet e master plan. Um and then we're going to go to slides by school site so you can hear the updates of each of our schools. Um the successes and the plans for next year. So, looking at this school year, um, for our district-wide, we have 225 EL students. Uh, our reclassification rate at the moment is 7.9%. Um, it's a little lower than it's been the last few years, but we had a really strong push for reclassification for the last year. We went from
081about a 14% to a 15%. Um, and so that reclassification u momentum has continued. Um, and we have a few more that may come in by Friday. So, that rate may continue to go up. Um our ELPAC completion is at about a 97% right now. Um we've had a few new students in the last two to three weeks. So we're wrapping up additional um ELPAC assessments. Um district successes um this year. So DAC engagement, we continue to work closely with our parents and our EL coordinators um to strengthen that school and family community and partnership aligned with our district goals to support our EL students. Uh last night was our last DAC meeting of the year um before we have our reclassification ceremony on May 28th, 5 o'clock and PHB there. Um uh and um
082a really interesting conversation that I know Mr. Navas will go into a little bit more detail on, but we talked with our parents about um what the EL parent workshops will look like in the future, what they would like to see based on the pilots that we did this year. Um, so we've had multiple schools just in the spring pilot an EL parent workshop talking about, you know, for elementary looking at accelerated reader scores. How do you access I Ready at home to go ahead and go on the My Path, which is one of our reclassification criteria, how do you um, you know, even do some of the basic protocols of what if I need a short-term independent study? Um, what if I need to uh do a home hospital? different things like that to
083connect our families to our um to our office, to our teachers, to our EL coordinators um and so that they have someone to go to and feel comfortable with. But something we talked about a little bit more is increasing that participation. And so we got some more ideas last night that we're going to take into 2526 on how we might potentially bring DAC to other locations. So, typically our DAC does a meet at the high school, but we thought maybe if we rotate that or maybe pick another location, we might be able to bring in some of our families. Um, you know, and of course bringing in treats and snacks is always helpful, too. But, um, different ideas from our families, which we'll talk a little bit more about. Um, I Ready, this is our
084um, uh, in terms of using I Ready for reclassification, it's our second year using that. And so one of the things you'll see on the next slide as we talk about the title three plan is looking ha at how we utilize I ready the diagnostic for ELA and reading um which is the uh local benchmark or assessment which is part of reclassification to identify what is proficiency um and so uh when you look at I ready it's very similar to when we look at CAS scores and we look at a like a red a yellow a green um those are the three colors that they primarily use and we talked about how we would utilize a yellow which is one grade level below and higher to identify reclassification and to support our students. The cool
085thing about I Ready is that you have the path you can go on at home, right? So based on that diagnostic, they can continue the path um to increase their score to support them on that path to reclassification. We've been a huge piece to our EL parent workshops. Talked a little bit about the parent workshops already. Um, elevation is one of our platforms we've been talking about for a couple of years. Uh, but we're really trying to expand the use of elevation. And I do have a slide for you to take a look at. I tried to make the pictures elevate about elevation. Look at you. Okay. So, she needs to stick with me, right? Um, but the cool thing about Elevation is when you go in there, you can pick a student and then
086go through each of these domains and it'll give you strategies that would specifically help that student based on the domain, based on their grade, based on an instructional practice or an ELPAC task to get them prepared for taking the ELPAC. There's also an ELPAC, an interim LPACT assessment just like we have for English, math, and science. Um, where we can give them that practice, which I know has been happening at some of our sites. Um, Mr. Neos will talk more about that, but I really wanted to show you how we're diving in a little bit more to elevation and we'll continue to do that in future years to specifically identify strategies that would specifically support students. There's even um a um a portion of the dashboard for elevation that will list the strategies and then
087populate the student names that they would be best for. So, there different ways where we can specifically target how um those instructional strategies would be best for our students. So going back though the the into the district success and ongoing efforts the Avant assessment I'm not going to tell you too much because I know the student is going to go into detail but the Avant assessment helps us with identifying um native speakers um to identify capacity. We've been giving that assessment to eighth graders this year so that it can support them with an appropriate Spanish class for um their course placement at rim. We also use that assignment that sweet seal of bi literacy. So we're going to also be seeing that as we have graduation coming up very soon um to look at how
088we are supporting our students in the future um uh all the way through and starting in middle school plans for 25 26. we started to look at the cycle of when we do things um and how early we can reclassify students because then they have those opportunities to not only be monitored but also get different elective opportunities and access to more elective opportunities. So we've been looking at how we back up some of the procedures that we're doing in our cycle so that there's more likelihood to give those opportunities earlier to our students. So, for example, um we have the ELPAC administration normally opens in February. We concluded that before spring break, which means we already have some scores back, which is where we're trying to focus in on seniors, eighth graders, and fifth graders
089by the end of the week to see if we can finish reclassifying any of the students who based on this year's assessment that just happened could potentially reclassify before the end of the school year. So that then we could adjust their schedule um as they go into the fall. So sorry. So if we do that because I think that would be amazing. Can we just thinking uh because when you reclassify in the fall to wait all the way to the ceremony in May is a long wait. So I was wondering like could we add a ceremony and just go yay for you in the fall? You know, just saying just a thought because I I like celebrations because I like parties. So there you go. Okay. We all love a good party. We like to
090celebrate our students and their achievements. And what's uh exciting is that by the end of this week, we may have already captured some of those students who can then be part of this year's classification ceremony, but then for the remainder of our students not in those specified grade uh grade levels, we could definitely look at another celebration. So, I think some opportunities because it's more immediate. Yes, they feel that right away. Um all right, so we're continuing with those EL Parrot workshops as we mentioned. We piloted some of those for what we're going to do in the fall um annually for every school site. Um and then our ELTEL and EL professional learning as you heard shared previously from me as well as from Mr. Gomes earlier um we're going to have that EL um
091PLC training coming from SBCSS and in fact they have a representative coming to our principal round table on Tuesday to talk about what would best benefit our teachers and we've been going around ed services and talking with our leadership meetings. um at each of our school sites to really tailor that training to exactly what our our our staff needs to best support our students. So that's essentially the update there. I did give you a couple of pictures there on the reclassification process just to tie in our conversation about IRA um and um you know s elevation. So when you look at your title three EL master plan later in the the board agenda item there for consideration for approval um the major change that we made was was I ready right because your proficiency will
092give you a dark green which means you're on progress at grade level light green is you're emerging on that grade level but you're on grade level and yellow is you might be slightly below grade level but you're within the window of at least a year and we thought we want to give the best opportunity to demonstrate um uh an opportunity to reclassify. And so we looked at that that measure and since there are multiple measures based on the reclassification criteria that you can see um we really thought that the yellow gave the most opportunity to our students. So that's essentially the major change that you see in the e u master plan um along with our inclusive approach and professional development. that bottom uh piece in terms of the inclusive approach is something we're really
093taking on when we think about inclusion. Um this is all students and we recently went to our um inclusion uh summit and we then Dr. Melinger and I spoke at a a state virtual conference and when we talk about allin or all means all that is all of our students. So, no matter the service, the program that they're included in, we want to make sure all of our students have access, um, and that, uh, as we're providing our professional development and we're providing supports through staff meetings, through leadership meetings, through those one-on- ones with our student data chats, um, that we're giving our students the best opportunity for the future. So again, looking at that title three plan, we also want to make sure that we are thanking um our site administrators, our site teachers,
094our EL coordinators, and our bilingual aids, as well as our uh district e specialist, Miss Sana. Um this work is a is a team, right? It's a community of people that are supporting our students. And now to the fun part. I'm going to pass it over to uh Mr. Nabas, who's going to give you more details school by school. So join me in welcoming Mr. Nabas. Um, thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to be heard. Uh, for the first one, here we go. Okay. So, I'd like to just go by um site by sight and these were designed by the U coordinator of the site and then just very very very deliberately um looked at and looking at what information do we want to share? What information do we want to make
095sure people see? And what information do we want to make sure is right there that no one has to look for, especially our successes? We don't want to put anybody in the position of having to seek out a success. We want to make sure that the kids are championing them. We want to make sure the community is and we want to make sure that all staff are. So, we're going to start with um CH. This was put together by Anna Vega. And what we have here is 13 EL students. And by the time that this was done, we had an ELAC completion of 100%. Which in and of itself is phenomenal just to be able to get the students there practiced, focused, dedicated. Um, we do have some of a situation where we're looking at
096the I Ready scores and because what's really cool about I Ready is that it's so computer adapted with that elementary mindset that it's really really being successful with this and so we're seeing a lot of growth. There's actually a statement from um Miss Vegas. So, at CHE, we've uh seen a shift in our EL numbers. Our number is growing and we are also seeing more newcomer students sitewide. We want to be able to ensure that we're supporting EL students and their families. We're happy to have losses support on Thursdays and Fridays and it is challenging without the bilingual support. I myself am bilingual and in fact, I was the bilingual egg at CH for approximately eight years. However, now I'm in the classroom. This year I taught a two three combo. As much as I'd
097want to, I cannot support ELS in the same capacity as I used to. At CH, we feel that having a bilingual aid 5 days a week would be supportive to our students and our families. While our EL number is lower than the other sites, our need exists and should be acknowledged. We might think that the small number of EL students would entail less needs. However, our students needs exist and vary across the board. We want to support their individual needs and as a site we feel that focusing on their specific goals will lead to them becoming successful in their academics as lifelong learners. Another element that was brought to our TK um brought up by our TK teacher was behavior. Mrs. Marshall pointed out it's cool that you're here. Mrs. Barcelo pointed out that behavior
098is a key element in TK and language barriers can make understanding and communicating challenging with these younger students, especially as they're starting their journey with us. Having an aid 5 days a week can ensure that behavior and expectations are continually being reinforced. After all, if we support them in developing better school habits, we can better help them when it comes to their academics. As our EL number is growing, CG wants to ensure that we are doing our part to help our EL students. the expectations that they face can be overwhelming and we want to make sure that we are taking the weight off of them so that they can feel successful. their site plan. That's the end of the statement, but the site plan definitely calls for this idea of ensuring that students are met
099and being met for all their needs no matter where they are. And I think that ties directly in with the discussion of equit equitability, the discussion of what every student needs and the discussion of what we as professionals need to be able to identify within those students. CG is doing great. Yay. LE is also doing great. We're all doing great. They're actually at a 9% um reclassification. They completed the LPAP um earlier than their previous years, which is phenomenal, which takes a lot of stress off of the state testing that comes after it for a lot of the students. Um we've seen wonderful growth in the English language acquisition and the ELS have been given instructions um with uh OG actually. And one of the you sorry, one of the big successes is one of
100our newcomers is actually so confident that they're sitting down and reading in English with students now. So to be able to come into it, come into a school, get that support, get that emotional support as well. And I think it's a great testament to the culture of that classroom if that student feels that comfortable to be able to read because as we know being in the classroom we have a lot of students who English is their first language and put them in a chance to read and they're not going to want to. Uh Valley of Enchantment is also doing awesome 52 EL students with five reclassifications this year. So that's a phenomenal um support. Um, this is put together, oh, sorry, LEU was put together by Rosa Vio and this is Amanda Hollow. So, the
101EL8 supported 50 students and we were able to reclassify three of the long-term learners as well. So, these are students who um are part of it, but they're also they've either been moved out of it or parent guardians have sometimes opted for them to move out because sometimes the social aspect is just a little bit stronger and they want to get into an elective or they want they feel that there's a support system that maybe is failing them as our part and that's something we should look at, but we're still seeing success with those students. So, that is showing that we're still putting up a very good net. Looking ahead, we really want to focus on a universal access plan and that would correspond with the idea of vertical articulation. Kind of developing an EL
102program that you know, okay, one month in, what is a student doing? Two months in, what is a student doing? If an EL is um bumped up to a new kelp level of four, what can we expect from them? What does that look like? And then also trying to identify what the test is testing and preparing them for that as well. Okay, here we are. Um, this is MP Phicton Head. Um, just full disclosure, my passion um in teaching, my passion before teaching was poetry. And this is um just putting this out there for the kids. This uh is what something I'm really proud of. These all these little blurs are actually taken from a poem that they wrote that they each were given called I am from. So really trying to get them to
103stress that importance of implementing culture, implementing their voice, implementing their experience and then having them put it together in a collage type manner. So it reads as I am from the waterfalls from bottles of water filled with I'm from the noisy and energetic. I am from gathering at tables for all holidays. I am from neighborhoods and parks. From the sister who has been with me since birth. I am from memories. I'm from the port of the beaches and the doors of my house. My house dog died and we buried him near my house. My house cat left and never came back. I'm from Colombia and Spain. Tamales and tacos. Of the crying lady in the night who scared my family. They never went back to the lake that night. Okay, so this is just an
104example of one of the ways that we're trying to really get them to embrace aspects of their culture and how they add to culture while preparing for things that they have to do like these tests. So we set them up where they have to find ways to build their vocabulary. They have to write out different things. They have to listen to poems and then write about what they think it is. I practice for parts of this LCAP where they are um having to listen to conversations. I encourage them to always eaves drop when they're at restaurants so they can tell me gossip when they come back. I encourage them to watch movies all the time in multiple languages with English subtitles on just so that they can constantly grow and feel that pride in where
105they are from and see what they can add to everything. Um, we use art, we use these um wonderful things where we'll read beginnings of chapters of novels and then they have to write the rest of the chapter and they don't get to know what the rest of the chapter is unless they want to go to the library and check out the novel. Otherwise, they can write their own version. We're really pushing them to really use their voices. Can you tell sorry I don't mean to interrupt you but can you tell me about how you incorporated art and given me to your your booklets oh yes okay so realizing that um fundamentals of reading is not the way that we used to think that it was which is memorize the vocabulary definition by definition you
106can start with apple and I'll meet you at zoo um and going into looking at language as breaking it down looking at language as under understanding the prefix the root even understanding that if it's Latin it's going to be spelled a certain way if it's Greek, it's more likely to be spelled a certain way. And so using that, we've been able to utilize um choosing out and seeking out language acquisition by year. So across the board, what is it recommended? How many roots does a third grader should be taught? How many roots for a fourth grader, for a fifth grader, sixth grader, etc. So using the training that we got, we got a lot of resources that aren't really public, but because we had them, I was able to go through and build a matrix
107based off of grade so that when a student comes in, if they are a level one, we can just immediately upload onto their Google Classroom, 45 slide presentations that they'll know they have one week at a time, and that's the next two years of class, but at least every week they're learning five new roots that are impacting their reading. And yeah, so that's one of the things that we're building. We're we're up to seventh grade right now and we just No more bodies. Uh it worked for me, but um but it was a different timing and different expectation. You know what I mean? Like all right, so we're we're super excited. All right, speaking of super excited and obvious sideways, we have video here, but I know that the video doesn't work. However, this is
108being made available to everyone and these are amazing um written by high school student interviews asking one another within the class. What did you expect this country to be like? What did you expect school to be like? What did you expect lunch to be like based off of movies and shows that you've seen versus what it actually was? And so, if you have a time to just click through, they're really, really fun and really awesome to see. I wish that we could play them, but they are there for all of us. Um, RHS, uh, this is put together by, um, Sylvia Johnson, and this has, uh, 57 students spread out all through the four years. Um, they were very successful with five out of five. The five that passed the test were reclassified this year.
109So, that's really what you want to see. I'm going to go back really quick to this wonderful thing that we have here. When we look at how to reclassify, the best way that I can think of it is it's a bingo card. And we're looking at the kids and the test is just one box. Um, their I Ready score is one box. Their writing sample is one box. Their recommendation is one box. And it's really just a situation of getting the kid emotionally to the point where they want to sit down and play bingo. And it's not a distraction. It's not a situation where they're feeling like, I got this done. I got this done. I got this done. And now this test is telling me I can't do it. and just trying to really
110kind of build that up. So having five out of five go and do it and then follow through with those other recommendations and necessary things is huge and just such a huge um satisfying thing to celebrate. Um as far as strengths, they're looking at student portfolios, student led, student made, and student reflected upon. And so they're incorporating listening to and reading novels and short stories just to give them that practice like with the test where you're just getting little blurbs and then having to immediately turn around and summarize them. Okay. Um that leads us to RDA and um MHS and that's uh Ann of um Bren and she put this together and this actually is huge with 25% reclassified. That's a wonderful thing because that I mean you can't show up to a class the
111next year and 25% of your students aren't there. That's going to be a huge motivation to the students who are there because that's living testimony to kids who aren't just going on somewhere else. They can stop them in the hall and say, "Hey, how did you do it?" Um they did a wonderful job by providing what's called they call the study skills menu. And this is something that's available to the community. And this kind of segus into what we're trying to do with the parent workshops. Um, I say all the time like I went to college. I know how to be successful for certain things, but if tomorrow my family and I found ourselves having to go to a new culture, a new country, a new situation, I would have no idea how to give
112my kids, my own children, advice on how to sign up for community college or what the difference is between a community college, a trade school, a internship school or anything like that. And so by creating these types of menus and interactive means for the students to share with their parent guardians to be able to look at it, that's what we're looking at trying to build. And so we're even brainstorming these ideas where DAC meetings can be elac meetings as well where we can maybe find a restaurant or something that has a banquet room that it doesn't have a wedding planned on a random Tuesday every two months and they are willing to help out the community by saying yeah you're going to bring 30 families here that are going to eat use our room and
113then we can make little signs that say MH BOE this area and then we'll have a little station for the younger kids and the youngies to come over and color and stuff while the parents can actually interact and go around and then there's never the situation of do I want to be there to support my older kid or do I want to be there to support my younger kid. It can be one-stop shop for the whole community. And and Granny shared that she makes great friendship bracelets like she did at open house and would be willing to help us out with the fun activity for the students for the uners the younger ones. Yeah. So, thank you all so much. Um, obviously there's so much more information on these slides and so much more to
114every one of these students identities and so just if you have a moment look through. We're super proud of them and we're just super happy to be able to serve the community in this way. And just say one quick, Miss N, you are making such an impact within our district, within our community, with our students. Keep up the great work. I hear nothing but great things about you. Thank you. 10.0 discussion action items. 10.1 Superintendent Legislative and Advocacy Report. Fiscal impact. None. I'll start first. Um and I'll go quickly. Jordan, you're going to talk, right? Oh, okay. Um so went to Sandabs yesterday. Some some just touch stones for the budget. Um in November there was projected increase in revenue. There was above uh uh projections of $2 billion. And so in November we're like
115oh we're going to get this. We're going to get extra money. Now we have a 12 billion g budget gap. And it's projected we're going to have budget gaps for the next several years. So that 1.8 block grant we were going to get, it's been reduced down to $1.7 million dispersed out, the governor is committed to fully funding the current TK through 12 programs, the universal meals, the um fully funding ELAP, fully funding LCFF, except that he's going to fully fund LCFF by using B um half a billion dollars from the rainy day fund. Yes, the cola has been reduced but not but but not as much from 2.43 to 2.3 but they are like you heard before the unconstitutional maneuver with Prop 98 he he wanted to uh hold back $1.6 6 billion. He
116reduced that to 1.3. Expect some lawsuits. CSBA is from last year's maneuver and fleeing another unconstitutional move maneuver. They're feeling like the governor is is not abiding by the constitution and what the constituents of California had elect voted on with Prop 98. Cindy, are you aware of any results in last year's lawsuit? Are you making me say it? Yes. So, CSBA is filing a lawsuit. I did get a call from I am on CSBA legislative committee. Chris Reed from government relations called me, asked me if I would be willing to make a declaration for CSBA on behalf of D CSBA in their lawsuit. So, I did call Dr. Seano because I didn't want to think him thinking I ran him up, but yes, I um am part of that lawsuit. um written uh our story
117of the world is in that declaration including declining enrollment the effect of any budget maneuvers that are done either at the federal level or state level and um how it really majorly impacts I didn't say it gives our CBO Jenny Hlin hyperventilating in her back kind of moments but but I did um speak to our district as well as districts like ours. It was kind of scary. I was thinking I was doing a a a statement, like a letter statement, and then Chris is like, "I'm going to have our attorneys talk to you." So then the attorney talk to me, and then what she sent me was that thing that you get served like some guy goes, yes. I was like, and so I called Dr. Saviano. I read it to him like, "Are you
118still okay with RIM doing this with me doing this and naming our district that I'm from RIM and this is our story?" And he was like, "Yes, we need to take a stand um on these maneuvers. They're unconstitutional. They greatly impact our district and districts like ours. I think we should take a stand. Have no idea what's going to happen if the governor is backed into a corner, but we'll see what happens. At least we can be the rebel district. So, but that was a little scary to see that legal notice. That was like, whoa, okay, this is real. If I disappear, you'll know what happened. No, just kidding. Um, okay. So, with that, um, Sandabads, we um met and we took some positions on bills as well as we had the CSBA legislative committee.
119There are some bills that I'm going to um put forth in terms of keep of you guys understanding that how uh how impactful these could be for districts starting with AB772. This is about cyber bullying off-campus acts. This was a bill that was last year but it included like even vandalism acts. This has now been reduced down to just cyber bullying. any cyber bullying that ha happens off hours, off school hours, off campus, all of that we would be having to deal with um which is not we deal with students on campus whether it's for extracurriculars or during their time um to instructional time that is our responsibility. This would make it our responsibility for students behavior away from school on weekends at nights. we would have to to be responsible for the disciplinary issue
120AB772 CSBA and um CSBA took a strong opposed position just feeling that that's not that's not our responsibility. If the cyber bullying comes onto campus then it becomes our responsibility. Is there any language in there for the summertime? Oh, it's all the time, babe. Yeah, get ready for that. Have fun. You're not going to have a summer off. Then really cool thing for teachers AB 1119 is dual credential. Um they're going to create a workg group for um teacher dual credentiing where you get like a multi-ubject. You also get the prek early childhood education. So then you have both that that ability to do uh many different uh fill those different capacities. That's just a workg group to figure out the credentiing pathway, but that would be pretty cool for for and it would wouldn't
121it would just be emerged in your regular credentiing program. It wouldn't have to be extra like it is now. So CSBA took a support on that. Then we had um oh lord it was like it's it's a marathon. Um then we had the AB 1204 um the grades span adequacy adjustments should Yeah. So this while you go oh this is really exciting. is going to increase supplemental grants from 20% to 35%. And and lower down the thresholds from for concentration grants from 55% to 45%. This is going to be the best thing ever. But the unintended consequences, it doesn't grow the educational prop 98. So take the current money and then just reformulate it. And there would be losers and winners to this reorganization. They're taking the same amount of money but reorganizing it. So
122it doesn't help our districts at all to take unless you grow Prop 98 unless you grow and and what we advocate all the time for is grow the base. You grow the base I can pay my staff more that I can hire more EL aids. I can, you know, do more programs and services for kids, but this focusing on supplemental and concentration doesn't help the cause. So, CSBA took an oppose unless amended. Um, next AB 1230. This one, this one is really concerning. Like, I was just my hair was on fire. Um this this bill would actually if a student is expelled there would be basically a at least 45 days before the end of the expulsion period. You develop a student plan of rehabilitation with staff and you tailor that plan to to the
123pupil's needs and you address the behavior that led to the expulsion. Basically, it's an IEP plan for student behavior and and and the the district is on the the hook for payment of the wraparound services. And so my question was, what happens if we put together this plan with the with the parent and somehow you missed something? you didn't get that last counseling session in or or something or some monitoring piece didn't happen. Does this open us up like it does for special education to liability by the parent to say you didn't comply with my students rehabilitation plan said you got that right. It does. Additionally, we don't have the resources up here that a lot of the other school districts have locally. So would we almost Yeah. We would not be in compliance just
124because of our resources. Yep. Just like special ed when we do not have the resource on a mountain, we bust a kid down the hill to get their services. So the the it this bill while good intentions to make sure what we're we're really helping students come back and and integrate to make it so that it's a plan that has to be followed by the school. Then I was like, okay, like in special education, we we we don't want to run into fake versus favor where we feel so such empath for the student and the parent. We give too much that's too costly for the district and not appropriate services to the student. Do you think that could come into play? Yes. Yes, it will. and then we will be on the hook for that
125for making sure that we provide that plan in detail. So that one was um opposed unless amended. I was I was happy that CSBA took that position. It does lead the path down the path of possible litigation for districts. Um then the last um the other thing Stephanie I wanted to let you know is that the career technical education incentive grant that you have to apply for every single year and you're still waiting to hear for it from it I think. Well the AB41 would allow you to pl apply once every three years and you would know what you're getting and be able to plan your budget um more accordingly. Plus, it will automatically put in the COLA for you. So, you don't lose um it's adjusted every year per that cola. So, so you
126have less work if this bill passes. So, of course, standouts took a support position. So did CSBA. So, hopefully this moves forward. Um, so that the other piece that is kind of tricky is AB560, which puts forth special education recommendations for sizes of different components of special ed classes, RSP classes, that kind of thing. Again, really great intentions of of lowering those sizes of classes and and to be able to service special education students more effectively. The problem is it doesn't grow the pot of money for education. So, if you do this, you're stealing from Peter to pay Paul. What is going to be affected in other areas of the budget in order to enact this? because they have no intention of adding to Prop 98 to expand these kinds of things that have really
127great intentions. But unless you give more money to education, you are all you're doing is is like Jenga pulling apart and and some and and it will fall. It will fall. You can't do everything you want to do with the budget as it exists now unless they grow Prop 98. just that's the that's the name of the game. So yeah, we're hoping both CSBA and SA stands took an opposed position due to the the the problems with with not bred and Prop 98 to be able to commit to these kinds of things. In terms of coast to coast talking to Jay Overn special education, we know that the Department of Education is has been cut by 50%. Um so expect some major chaos in releasing title one depending on how we get title one and
128how much we get to title one. Um what we did is we didn't focus on that you know say department of education we tried to stay on task on positive we tried to protect funding streams. So special education, we talked about of course support increasing the money at least not maintaining the same level as last year because that's really a cut when you adjust for inflation. So we asked for COLA to be at least put on special education. The ESM money title 1 2 3 4 and five we ask that that be kept. Please don't pull that. There's ideas in place that maybe title one will be released in a block grant to directly to lees but possibly shaved. Title two which is the teacher uh recruitment and professional development is very vulnerable to be
129cut and title three English language learner acquisition is very vulnerable to be cut. So then we talked about um broadband and cyber sec security support. Um we also I got to speak to the secure rural schools act and he Jay Alberti is one of the um congressmen who signed on to that. He understands it's an issue of of equity. So he fully supports that. Maybe we don't get a lot of it a lot of money with declining enrollment, but it does, as Jenny says, every dollar helps. And then we talked about um Medicaid trying to advocating to keep Medicaid cuts away from kids. However, Medicaid, they they're tasked with c cutting $880 billion. They're also being tasked with cutting over $300 billion from education. So, we will we'll we'll see what happens in the next
130couple months with these areas that are so concerning for us because what they decide with these funding streams will greatly impact our own local budgets. So, we'll just see what happens. I know. But I I have to say I did build some really great relationships that I did not that people I knew but didn't really know know. We hung out for three days and it was great and we had great conversations, cleared up some misunderstandings and it was and I think that that we all came together really well as advocates in Jay's office especially. Do you guys um did you guys if you want to bring anything up like the um pet that uh behavioral plan to for action and resolution um just say something and we can put it on the next agenda. That
131one is really concerning. The cyber bullying the the student behavior away from camp uh school time is also beha is very concerning given the ramifications. Jenner will be working all the time. I just don't know how we could possibly enforce that over the summer. I don't know how we can enforce that over the summer and something happens June 15th and are they expecting us to take care of it June 15th or August 15th when they come back? That I I think the devil's in the details on that. This right now is painting the picture. we're responsible for their behavior in cyber bullying um when they're away from school and off campus. So, it happens with students who are not part of the public school system. Good question, Jordan. Again, the devil's in the details. down.
132Oh, one other thing just sorry. Um, Senator Cho has put forth a bill uh SB745. Again, I I commend the intention. It's um to it's proposing that working with the um uh CDE putting together curriculum curriculum for a year-long course that would happen in high school. course for American uh for American civics engagement. There would be it's a year-long course. You could opt out and do a semester course, but it still would be an additional course to be taken in high school probably in the senior year. And we already have ethnic studies senior year. We will have financial literacy backing up to senior year. Then we have yet another layer, your senior year. So your senior year where you're like, "Yahoo, I get to take more electives." You are taking more mandatory required classes. I
133am vastly opposed to adding more. I think that this could be easily added to government that that one semester course. I don't think that we need to have another standalone course. I just find it just I I and this along with the computer science require bill I I just think that there's just too much. Let our teachers teach what we have and let's do it really well and and we want to take a look at curriculum at as the courses exist now. Let's do that. So, I'll be talking to her aid about my personal opinion on let's hold off on doing more and more and more mandatory co courses, especially at the high school level. So Cindy, interestingly enough, at um CSBA last year, the um AEC conference, um I went to a session on
134the um the the seal for um um civic involvement and um it's Anaheim Unified was putting it on and they currently incorporate it in their gov class and they're looking at also have it be a part of their ethnic studies class. So it's already and they've got a a huge program. It's it's really really um very very fantastic, welldeveloped. So there's already a place for that with existing required courses. So when you do talk with um with Senator Toppo's aid example. Yeah, exactly. Um Union um Armando's uh has been shifted around and is no longer a field rep for the mountain area. It's back to Nicolo. It was an ongoing government phase. Um, and I think I just missed my copy that one. Back to comments on AB772. Another way of attacking that is that's
135that's an attack on parents rights and responsibilities. They have the both the right and the responsibility for for the students. The school district does not have that responsibility or that right when the students are not here. And so that would be another way of attacking that again. So if you want to bring any of these forward to agenda an item to make a resolution, do it in the future agenda items section and we can talk about it then. I can provide an update on our advocacy platform. I'd love to be able to bring that forth for uh our next board meeting. Um but it is drafted with the five points that we had talked about. Full and fair ongoing funding, safe and modern school facilities, equitable and sustainable transportation funding, including the transition to EV
136uh for mountain areas, uh comprehensive support for special education, and streamlined accountability uh and um local uh LCAP, local control and accountability plan. Um, so I have those all ready. Um, I got that as sharing with your emails, uh, so you can review them. Um, and then we can talk about it next time that we're, you know, next board meeting. It is not on rim letterhead specifically because it's in draft form. I didn't want to put anything on our letterhead until we adopt it uh, or have it up for adoption. So, any questions? Anything else? Anything else regarding legislative action advocacy? Then let's move on to 10.2. Um, superintendent board retreat agenda planning fiscal impact none. Still moved. Second. Um, so as far as some of the things that we've talked about to include, do
137you want to um go ahead and just made notes from our previous conversation board's pres previous conversations. One of the areas was to talk about sunshine language for negotiations. There is the board self-evaluation um that uh Miss Reed is coordinating with you all to to deadline's Monday. Deadline is Monday calendar and all I had other than that was at the advocacy. So I'm wondering if uh they are able to get a copy of our of the proposed platform advocacy platform. Maybe that could be something that we could plan to discuss at the retreat. Um and then another thing that we possibly discussed was um depending on um where what we get in terms of the um architectural um um um measure E architectural plan. What you want to Yeah. Just uh we're finalizing Miss Havlin's
138team final finalizing the architecture contract. And the goal would be, you know, the thought was that somehow we could put together something by the 26th, but it's really not going to be reasonable enough time, but we do believe this summer we should have a conversation about that. I just don't know if we're going to have time for that June 26 with approval. Is that correct? That's a tight timeline, right? We are reconvening on Monday as a group um to do a final selection of our um kind of top pick. Um and then we'll be hopefully bringing an um agreement of um a contract on the 26th board meeting. So then I mean that will be the first time they'll be under contract with us because we will make it in time for the June 5th
139to be in contract. So once they're under contract, I'm assuming it's several meetings over the summer and then being able we'll have a contract with school works as well brought in June um the six the 5th or the 26th I we we already have um that contract and that will start pri helping the conversation with prior prioritizing projects in line with matching funds so we can um gear our um project development around maximizing those dollars. works. So if we do we really focus on the advocacy platform and and our goals and create maybe an advocacy calendar based on when our legislators are in district then the following week regular board meeting we can officially adopt or approve the platform. Right. Okay. I just want to make sure you have a good timeline and tenatively um
140based on that um you know because your platform limited to what two pages at most and uh yeah and so it is at two pages right now but um uh what we can do is we can take that platform and then start saying okay full and fair ongoing funding for all of our bullet points that we have what are the pieces of ed code that relate to that on our platform and how might we adjust or update that ED code or update and previous legislation. Um so we can start doing some of the the um groundwork for our legislators to say oh you know uh bold and fair you know safe and and modern school facilities. we have some, you know, here's the relevant ed code section for school, you know, school facility program that
141governs it and here's how we can adjust, you know, ED code section 17075.1. Uh, so again, that that would be the next step to actualizing the uh the platform and not just telling the story but also giving them practical solutions on how to implement it. Excellent. Is there anything else that any of y'all want to have added to our retreat discussions? I think that in close session and and setting the superintendent goals, I think we've done a lot of work about our expectations and the feedback from Dr. Civiano and what he's done and what he's planning to do kind of took care of some of the things that we would normally have put into a retreat. Um, so it's kind of, you know, like a lot of it is happening in that manner, you know,
142the back and forth discussion. Agreed. And I think historically we've had more tasks than we've had time. So if we the advocacy, you know, it's something we've definitely um in recent years, we've really been spending a lot more time on it and having the opportunity to really explore it. May and we can actually create a calendar. We can get the dates that the legislators are in. We can decide, you know, try to to hit I mean, obviously would have to be out to ask to be put on that day's agenda and then all of us can go because we can agendaize this um and have the meeting all together. other boards have done it and um we can do it and that way we're all and then we can organize prior to the meetings and
143we can have a little chit chat about that. Fantastic. We good. Then in terms of we have a motion. So in terms of um including in our board retreat agenda, we have some sign language to discuss in post session. um the our our schoolboard internal evaluation advocacy platform and calendar and am I missing anything? Um do we want to have a strong man of talking about priorities or just not um priorities for bond measure E or no? I don't think we're there yet. We will be soon. Okay. Then um I would appreciate amended motion so we can go ahead and um vote on this. I make a motion I make a motion to uh have the board retreat include sunshine language post session board evaluation advocacy and advocacy calendar. Second. Any further discussion? So that
144was Cindy made the motion. Scott seconded it. any further discussion if if for some reason one of us think of some brilliant idea we do have one more board meeting where we can add something but I agree with Jordana that sometimes we've given ourselves too much to do in a limited time and we felt rushed and we felt like we didn't do what you know accomplish what we wanted to accomplish so agreed okay well then I'm going to go ahead call for a vote All in favor? I I all oppose. Motion passes unanimously. 10.3 personnel services approval of the tentative agreement between Rimog World Unified School District and Rim Teachers Association to increase the certificated salary schedule 1.5% effective July 1st, 2024 and provide a onetime offsch payment of $1,00 $1,5000 for all certificated certificated
145employees. Update the certificated stipens and increase the total personal necessity days from two of 12 to four of 12. Fiscal impact $543,084.37. Budget source of restricted general funds and restricted general funds. So move second. Was that Scott? We made the motion and then Cindy seconded. Red light on. Um, any discussion? Jimmy, are the extra pages that show the deficit spending or how are those um put out to to the public, but especially to our teachers and and our staff? What do you mean by extra pages? You mean the the AD1200 form that's in here? Um, or do you mean the multi-year projections? the multi-year projections which show the which also show deficit spending the five years. So the multi-year projection um in our sax uh financial reports that we have the first interim second interim
146and an audited actual and budget development those are um in the the multi-year projections that I give you that are in an Excel file that have more detail on them. those are some of these and they're on their state forms in those particular financial documents. So, it's in the it's in the back after the um funds. Um you know, one of the things we do um uh during negotiations with both groups and in um you know, we do go over budget um and pass those out um Okay. So, they actually see them those pages in negotiations. Does anyone that's not in negotiations see them? Um, well, it it would be a public document because I I would have had them there if someone um, you know, were to request them at the budget committee. You
147know, we we've gone over the five-year multi-year projection um, several times. I'm trying to think of other areas. It's not post the fiveyear is not posted online. It would be summarized um on our website um for the all the PowerPoints we do do get posted on the website. I mean I know we're making changes to our website so how that'll look um I don't know but so for people who were to seek that out they could find it and if they didn't understand it could reach out but um you know in our small group meetings um with our bargaining units with management with budget committee um you know those are shared that the the three-year that is in our board notes so therefore it's a part of our agenda right just seem to for whatever
148reason this time clearer to me that it shows the deficit spending that we're already doing and that's I was just wondering who sees those. Yeah, I mean the AB1200 reports are part of the required public disclosure whenever we um you know do give a um a a settlement to our marketing units. Um, and so I guess we could, um, if we wanted to make our current reports a little bit, um, you know, this is portrait. You know, we have a lot more detail. So, it's condensed. Um, and they don't necessarily see it, but I can see you go right down and it's red. You can see the bottom line. We're spending more than we're bringing in. So, um, perhaps significantly more. Yeah. I mean, it can be a function. I'm just thinking, you know, a
149a portrait view on a 8 by 10 11 piece of paper versus a, you know, eight um a horizontal with a lot more detail. Um some that five-year document that we use is also a tool um because of the detail we have on it. Um where this is more summarized. So um having possibly two documents one is um you know does it have I'm just going to give seven column you know we break it out on our internal reports because we want to know what's management stuff column what's um classified what's certificated what's the um statutory cost based on those what are some of the negotiated um impact so it's more of an internal tool that's why it has so much on it that maybe it doesn't m you know the average person doesn't need
150to see that. So, um you know, it can be a function of just playing around with some different reports that are summarized. So, you could see it a little bit bigger font, not so tiny, but the pages even here show the the continued reduction in front. Yeah, because it's kind of like instead of flipping the pages, it's it's one I see what you mean, you know. So, we can look around changing our format, so it's not a problem. It just looked very helpful. Yeah. also concerning. Well, also the form is written um to provide public disclosure and that's probably you know lends itself. I think um it's still a real wordy report. I think it's what 11 pages. So um you know to to to to get there um you know and what the bottom
151line is and what the financial impact is to the negotiations. So thank you. Yeah. Then I'm going to go ahead and call for the vote. All in favor? I. All oppose. Motion passes unanimously. 10.4 Four, personal services approval to increase the California tech the career technical education salary schedule by 1.5% effective July 1st 2024 and a onetime off schedule payment of 1500 $1,500 to all CTE teachers fiscal impact $15,1149 budget source unrestricted general funds personnel various accounts Cindy Jordan discussion Calling for the vote. All in favor? I. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. 10.5 Personnel Services approval of the collective bargaining agreement between the California Schools Employee Association and Rem of the World Unified School District to increase the classified salary schedule 1.5% retroactive to July 1st, 2024. Provide a onetime off schedule payment of $1,000
152to all classified employees prrated to full-time employment and eliminate all furlow days. Fiscal impact $44,71427 budget source unrestricted general funds restricted general funds. So moved. Cindy second. Scott, any discussion? Calling for the vote. All in favor? All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. 10.6 personnel services approval to increase the certificated management classified management and classified confidential salary schedules 1.5% respectively effective July 1st, 2024 and a one-time offset payment of $1,500 to all certificated management, classified management, and classified confidential employees. Fiscal is packed $91,94542. budget source unrestricted general summit Cindy second Scott I do have a question just a clarification um since we've just had a couple of um agenda items that are going through the different employee groups and noting that with um for the CSCA the off schedule payment was $1,000 where with management and with
153um um our RTA and with CTE it was off $1,500. So, can you just make sure and clarify why the difference? The clarification is CSEA um received their furl days back um and um RTA and management do not have fur days. So, it came out equivalent to about the same. Okay. So, there is equity there. Yes, ma'am. Okay. Terrific. Anything else? Calling for the vote. All in favor? I. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. 10.7 business services approval of resolution number 24/25-31 to author authorize temporary borrowing between funds of the world unified school district for the 2025 2026 school year fiscal impact month. So move Cindy. Second Scott. Any discussion? Calling for the vote. All in favor? I. All oppose. Motion passes unanimously. 10.8, Business Services, approval of Assembly Bill 218, assessment and provision of excess
154liability coverage with schools excess liability fund fiscal impact $293,94.92 budget source unrestricted general fund. So move Cindy. Somebody seconded Jordan. Any discussion? Calling for the vote. All in favor? I. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. 11.0 consent calendar. Want to take a moment if there's any to be pulled from the list. So I have several things I was really interested in. There are so many things on here that I think are really significant from the STEM math, the CS STEM math, the science and computer studies, the English learner master plan, which was really interesting, the uh and in fact what's going on there. And we talked tonight about DAC and ELAS, but I want to pull number 10, please. Thank God. I also would like to pull No. Yes. I would also like to pull number
15523. [Music] And if I was going to go on, there's also some really good things in going on in dual enrollment in the Calvin contract in solution tree which was mentioned tonight as well by principal uh the volleyball team going on the Irvine tournament mountain high school counseling wellness center um and and even the Shaw Consulting and Cal State using the room some but I want to do 10 and 23. Three. That was cheating. Gosh. Cheater. Cheater. Pumpy. Bill. I want to hear more. Stop. Okay. Other than 10 and 23, are there any additional to be pulled? Okay. Then I'm going to go ahead and ask for a motion for 11.1 11.2 11.3 11.4 11.5 11.6 11.7 11.8 11.9 111 112 11.13 11.14 11.15 116 11.17 11.18 11.19 11.20 11.21 11.22 22 11.24 11.25 11.26
15611.27 11.28 11.29 29 11.3 11.31 11.32 11.33 11.34 11.35 and 11.36 seven Cindy second Scott. Any discussion on any of those? It's Jen's fault. They're all herself. Just kidding. Thank you, Jen. Thank you. Thanks for making things happen in this district. There are a lot of exciting things on here. I won't go through. I think those are Oh, but I missed the generators that have been made. I also missed the fact that that um I will I will the security locks going into M. There's some really significant things in here that I don't want just to be hidden because they're in the consent calendar. So, there you go. I'm thinking there are no other comments. I'm going to go ahead and call for the vote. All in favor? I All those opposed. Motion passes unanimously.
157Okay. 12.0 items removed from the consent calendar. So item number 10. Do I have a motion? So move. Cindy. Second. to this along. Now, it needs to be clarified because at the moment we we need to approve this as long as the language is changed in there for the 2526 school year because right now it only it only goes through the through June 30th, 2025. I think that was an accident somewhere, but it just needs to be clarified that we'll approve it based on is actually being dated for 2526 school year. We can we can bring this one back rather than do that. Is that what you prefer? I would prefer if we brought it back because it is a it is an error on the county's part to have the wrong year uh for
158service to community schools uh sport. So we can bring that one back. I would recommend we do that at the board. So do we want to table that? Is that the table? So I move that we table this the next board meeting. I would like to revise my my motion to table this. And Bill, are you until the next full board meeting? Bill, you were the sec second. So, are you fine with that being case? Yes. Okay. So, we're going to go go ahead and vote on tableabling number 10 to come back at a future board meeting. All in favor? I. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. Item number 23. Do I have a motion? So moved. Second, Cindy. I assume there's discussion. I just wanted this to be brought out again more in the open
159that this is where we're certifying the election and the votes of our community that voted in favor of the bond at a very overwhelming rate, at a very positive rate. And I wanted to simply make sure that we said that we affirmed that vote in an out loud way. Calling for the vote. All in favor? I. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. 13.0 governance team future agenda items planning. 13.1 time allotted for the board of trustees to request agenda items for future meetings. I would actually like to request an agenda item. um being a a former student at MPH and seeing how MPH is aligning so closely with the high school and all the awesome things are going on at MPH um as far as bandage arts choir. Um, I would like to have on the
160agenda a discussion about somehow working in a uh sports program. At MPH, we have um the high desert that has a program. I think it's something that we can implement that would be um easily done and and within our budget, I think we could get volunteers. It would take some money, but I'd like to just have the discussion about starting something like that because I think it's the missing part of NPH and making NP more in line with the high school and keeping the kids more accountable in the classrooms as well. I think they've made great strides and are doing well, but I think um we're missing some of the students there at MPH. Go ahead and agendaize that for future board meetings. Fantastic. Is there anything else, Bill? Yeah, Lucern Valley Unified School District
161um recently did a a resolution that criticized the state's failure to fulfill its legal obligations under Senate Bill 1315. Senate Bill 1315 was to reduce all of the different kinds of documents and reports and all that that that a local LEA has has to do. And I think we ought to consider doing a similar resolution state saying something that we especially for the small school districts, we're the ones that really have to do the extra work. Uh and so I'd like us to put that on. I will say that um SP 1315 is explicitly mentioned in our advocacy platform under streamlined uh LCAP. Uh so it is part of the proposed advocacy platform and then okay go ahead and SP 1315 already passed though Jordan correct it is and has been signed by the governor.
162This is correct. It includes languages such as we support reforms such as those proposed in SP 13152 and then calls for specific actions in response to SP 1315. So, Bill, is this something that could be added to our discussion at the retreat or is this something that you want to have um act in one of our um regular scheduled board meetings? A discussion that you should do. Next one. Well, I think it ought to be an actual resolution of the board. That is action of the board, not just a conversation in a retreat. Okay. You want to try to get this stuff done and before the the the committee of you know like if we're talking education bills you want to get them to the education committees both the author as well as the members
163because they're going to they're tomorrow is the is when all the bills that are in the suspense file are going to be heard and then those there may be some that are going to be moving on. So, and then you know they do their thing. They're going to trade houses. So, you want to try to get the information and impact the the people as soon as possible. So, times of the essence. Yeah. So, with that, my my suggestion was we do resolutions uh to oppose AB 1230. Shannon, we're going to help you out there, buddy. That we oppose 772. And this one, I mean, I I'd like to bring it forward. If you guys want to vote it down, that's fine. But that's the SB745 is adding yet another class, the civics class, because I
164agree with you, Jordana. We can figure out it how to get there the same way, but not take up more of our kids' time. And I would um those three would be an oppose. Yes. at the next one so that we can make sure that we get these to the bill's author as well as the education committee members of both the Senate and the U assembly. So you're talking about all three meaning the resolution for SB1315 opposing AB1230 and opposing AB772 and yeah and SB745 oppose it in clarification that's for the June 6th board meeting. Yes, please. cuz you know we need to have more work and we need 39 things again on the agenda. Look at Dr. It's like anything else 14.0 Zero. Future meeting dates. Regular board meeting.
