Any questions, discussion regarding those minutes? All in favor say I. I. I. opposed. And next is the approval of tonight's board agenda. I move. Second. Any questions regarding tonight's agenda? All in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Okay. Which brings us to communications. We have other staff communications and information and information which looks like the local performance indicators self collection. Correct. This is our annual um local performance indicators report. It's part of the LCAP. We have to share it with the board every year. Excellent. Thank you. Um and that brings us to to be Can I Sorry. Can I ask a question about that one? Yeah.
003So, Deian, in it, it says that one of the things you guys want to make sure that you're doing is that you're not pulling special ed students from classes when they're doing core standards, which sounds really lovely in theory, but as a special ed teacher, how do you how do you propose to do that? So um it it is a a good goal and so we have a commitment to um make sure that we schedule really carefully. Our um SAI teachers work really hard to work alongside their teachers and carefully schedule around core academic times at to the greatest extent possible. We also prioritize push-in services over pullout services. So to the extent that is appropriate for the students needs, we try to bring the services to the students in the classroom so that they're
004exposed to grade level standards and and then have those scaffolds and supports in the classroom so they're not missing out um unless that is required for their particular needs. So we really try to look at what are the things that are needed for them and make sure that they're getting that and working around that. And we have really incredible teachers who look at like across a grade level, we have this protected time and then SAI teachers who are working around those grade levels protected times to provide appropriate services for kids. That's great. So even if they have math goals, they're staying in their gened for math as much as much as possible. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Great. And kind of a followup to that, what kind of supports are we providing for our SAI teachers um
005you know that to manage case loads and whatnot to make sure that there is time for push. Can you tell me more about what you're asking because I just want to make sure I understand your question before I answer it. Yeah. um like you know there's there's I know that case loads are are high across the board with special ed right now and um and so yes to the best possible we would like to be pushing and not pulling out um but in terms of you know a lot of these the SAI teachers use you know small groups to be teaching and um you know it's hard to do small groups when you are pushing in not pulling out um and so what are we doing to you know kind of manage case load time
006um and making sure that kids are getting the minutes and teachers have the supports that they need to so there's a a few different strategies. First of all, the schools I would say use strategic scheduling. So they're trying to think about how to group students in a way that makes sense to balance classrooms, but also thinking about how they're meeting the needs of students in a way that can target some of those supports. Um we have a a very um generous um staffing like beyond ed code parameters for parah educator support to our SAI teachers so that they have par educators who are able to support their um they work under their direction to help support and provide support to students and then we do a lot of like co-planning with them. So they work
007with their principles, they work with their program managers, they do a lot of just thinking through like how do we do this in the most logical way and then I would say with their professional learning communities at their school sites, the grade level teams really work together for how they can do that across a grade level um to meet the best needs of the kids. Any other questions? Okay, so that brings us to our public comment. Um, we don't have any comment cards in person. Um, and then what about online? We only have Charmaine Lawson online on Zoom and so there's no public comment via Zoom today. Um, just to clarify, Charmaine works for us. It says that they someone would have to com fill out the form by 610. If somebody filled it out
008before 610, we'll go back and hear it. Yeah. Because we don't have a report tonight, so it's totally different. Okay. Yeah. So, okay. Thank you. Um, which brings us to item 3A, which is our board policy updates. I second. Any questions regarding these updates? All in favor say I. I. Opposed. Okay. Item 4A is an action item, our educational services consent items. I'll move to approve our um education services consent items. It's always good to see no Williams uniform complaints. I second. Any questions regarding this? No questions if there's no complaints. Right. All in favor say I. I opposed. Okay. Now we have um 4B is our 2526 local control accountability plan. I move to approve item uh 4B, local control accountability plan. I'll second. Do we have any questions or discussions regarding this plan?
009Okay. All in favor say I. I opposed. Um, next is the 2526 LCAP federal addendum that we do each year. I'll move to approve the LCAP federal addendum. Second. Any questions regarding that? All in favor say I. I. Opposed. And next is an action item, our school plans for student achievement. I just wanted to say thank you. I just wanted to thank say thank you to all the principles and staff who worked on this because that was a really big document and so I know that took a lot of time. So thank you. Sometimes it's frustrating to do things that you know is paperwork. So I appreciate that. I'll move to approve it. I second. Okay. Any questions or discussion regarding the plans? All in favor say I. I opposed. Okay. Business services. We have
010our business services consent items. Our business services consent. I'll second. Okay. Any questions regarding these items? Um I sorry I just have a quick question. I know that we have our legal agreements in here. Um do we have I didn't see maxes on here. It's just we use them as much as we need them and they come back to us whenever we renew the agreements or um and there's no time when people we need to like review the agreements again. If there's we have like obscene amounts of hours. Not that we have obscene amounts of um legal expenses. Uh we don't put any kind of maxes on legal um other than um yeah just the the p the pricing that's included in the contracts. But um unfortunately legal is one of those things that you
011know when we have something that we have to engage them with we're we don't want to limit but it is something that we watch. Um, we all sign off on all of our billing for um, law firms and I'm the final uh, signatory on it. So, we're um, definitely keep track of it. Cool. Thank you. We do um, we do POS, so the purchase orders that basically limit the, if you will, like the initial cost of what it is that we anticipate we might use throughout the year. And then if we get to um something that's going to cost more than that, then we would increase the PO and that would go through the approval process as well. So every time there might be a change, there is a um increase in PO that's coming
012to the board. So that is a a cap per se by as much as we do the purchase order for. Cool. Sounds good. Any other questions? All in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Which brings us to our district budget. I move to approve action of 5B district budget for 2526. I'll second. Okay. Any questions regarding the district budget? Just confirming no changes since perfect. No changes. Um are there any as kind of legislation has been slowly working through I mean there's been minimal changes I think throughout the last couple of weeks. um federal and statewise. Um any any things that we're looking at could affect? Um nothing right now that we know of other than what we've already have kind of been watching for on the radar, but nothing more than what we what
013we initially knew about. Um and none of it that what um potentially could be impactful wasn't anything that we already included in the budget. So it wouldn't be an impact to the budget per se. We would just be adding something that might be less than what we anticipated. Cool. Okay. Any other questions? Okay. All in favor say I. I. Opposed. Okay. Now we have item 5C, education protection account. And this is an annual. I'll move to approve our annual action on the education protection account. I'll second. Any questions regarding this? All in favor say I. I opposed. Okay. The authorization to submit the consolidated application for the 2025 2026 school year. Approve item 5. I'll second. Any questions regarding this item? Wow. Okay. All in favor say I. I. Opposed. That may look very different
014next year depending on what happens with the federal budget. Okay. Next item is a temporary interfund transfers between district governmental governmental funds. I asked you about this. I just wanted a little bit confusing. Oh, the uh transfer between funds. I'll let Tina answer it because she'll be able to answer it better than me. Yeah. Um ultimately, um it is really the ability for us to be able to borrow cash in the event that we need cash from another fund outside of the general fund. So in some cases, um if our cash was low, we have the ability to borrow from like our bond fund, per se, um so long as we pay it back within a certain number 120 days of the end of the fiscal year. So it's it's basically being able to do
015that. And then I I'll explain the next one because they both sound similar, but they're different. So, that one is really about borrowing cash. Let me just add a little Let me just add a little piece to that because um one of the things that can impact like we're going into a time I believe the state still has some deferrals in terms of our um principal aortionment going into this next year. Is that right? Yes. And so what that means is you think about like an individual, you know, gets their paycheck once a month or every two weeks. Um so we have uh set times that we receive funding from the state that's based on our ADA or it's based on our our um grant awards. And what happens is the state um in order
016to sort of make the budget work on their end or cash work on their end, they allocate those funds on a delayed timeline. Uh it's not as bad as it at one time it used to be um horrific where it was like 40% of your income in a in a year would be deferred into the next year. Um, so there are deferrals, which means that then districts are, and Tina will talk about this in a minute, but then districts are in a place where they're potentially having to borrow short term to cover like literally to pay bills and and paychecks. And it doesn't have to do necessarily with your budget. It has to do with how much cash you have in the bank. because you may be budgeting that like I'm going to receive these
017dollars, but it's the actual cash that's coming in from the government. IB second. Any other questions? All in favor say I. I. Opposed. And now we're at 5F, which is a temporary transfer of funds and agreement. County Treasury. This you realize this Yes. Yes. But yeah, so because they sound very similar and and that first one is all about cash. This one is about budget. So um at the end of the year as you're closing out your um end of the year um finances um you may have to make budget transfers within funds and across funds in order to make sure that you're not leaving a negative balance in any of the particular objects. So if you recall looking at the SAX forms, you'll see like the 1000s, the 2000s, the 3000s. This allows us
018to move money between those different areas without actually um increasing the budget overall so that any one line doesn't end in negative. So that's ultimately it's year-end cleanup stuff basically related to budget, not to cash like the previous one was. So again, we're just borrowing from our stuff. Yeah. And this isn't even borrowing. It's just a matter of it's like pulling money out of your personal budget for um going out to the movies and using it for your groceries instead. It's really more from that perspective. Thanks again. Yes. I'll second. Okay. Any additional questions or discussion? All in favor say I. I. Opposed. Okay. Which brings us into human resources. 6A is our human resources consent items. I have a question on the new positions. Um we have a behavior support specialist with salary recommendations.
019you know, step A through step F and a construction project manager um with step A through step F. Um what what are these new positions? Yeah, great question. Um these are some new classifications. We're excited about being able to bring them to you. The behavior support specialist, for example, is an increased level um from paraprofessional behavior intervention tech and this adds another layer of support. So, we're excited because I know we've talked a lot about the intense needs we're seeing for students and this position would enable folks to be able to provide service in another way. Um, it would also be a promotional opportunity for those who apply. So, we're excited for both employees and for students. It went to our personnel commission for approval and so it's on tonight's agenda for the salary range
020placement approval. Um and then the other position is related to um our bond program and so again additional opportunities for employment and has gone through our um personnel commission and brought for the salary range placement. Cool. And then kind of a follow-up to that I saw that there's relating to the behavior support specialist and a child nutrition services with uh CSCA, right? Would the construction um project manager also fall under that's a supervisor level so it wouldn't fall under CSCA or or manager would be not on the classified side it would be on the manager schedule so separate okay and then it's not we're not approving a new schedule for the child nutrition services no that's a we've merged both of the classifications CN1 and CN CN2 together um and it's at the same salary
021range as CN2. So those folks who were CN1's have been elevated um and don't have to go through a new testing process. Um and that really fulfills some of the changes that have happened in child nutrition related to scratch cooking and things like that. Um so we're excited that we're able to do that um reclassification. Cool. And Brianna, you asked me earlier who the garden which school the garden consultants for. Do does anyone know which school the garden consultants for? Uh we have a number of garden projects. Lemon is one of the schools where we have garden work and same for La Mesa Dale and Casadoro. Yeah. Which one? We have a garden consultant specifically on here. Terina Gardener. Do we know who the perfectly named for consultant? Let me pull it up and look.
022It's not um CDO. Okay. I was just I was just wondering. I know that we have garden programs at multiple schools and um I'm always loving seeing the kind of work that's being done with that. I don't know, but I can find out and um let you know. Sounds good. And I wanted to share one other thing just really quick. Um because this approval of salary placement for these new positions, it actually is a really good illustration of how things work in a district that has a personnel commission. So a merit district is what it's technically called. Um and what the personnel commission does is they do the work of classifying and and creating the position. And then the board's responsibility in that is ratifying the personnel commission's decision. But then the board or the
023district is the one that makes the decision about the salary placement for those positions. A quick question. I look at this attachment. Emily, the the bargaining chair, the three different signature types, obviously docuign, but there's two possibly white signatures that look very different. Are they all signed by Docyign? Oh, I see. Um, so in Docu Sign, you can either type out your name and it comes out that way or you can do the kind but she has two that are signed. There's very different stood out to me. Sorry. Uh, it is this. It is Emily. I can verify it's the real Emily. Emily, if you're watching. No. Um, it is the real Emily, but I can make sure we have a consistent signature on each of them. It looks funny when you see a dot
024sign, you see two scribbles that are different. One's not a scribble, one is a scribble, right? It's funny. probably because she tried to draw it with a mouse. Okay. One by a pen and a stencil and one by a house. Okay. Yeah, it looks funny. The three different type of signatures. Um I do like to see all of theseus that we have going with um our teachers association. I know that's partly um in conjunction with the new collective bargaining agreement that we have um as part of the agenda as well, but um I'm glad to see all of these lovelyus that we were able to um get past with them as well. Yeah, thank you for that. And a huge um I just have to commend the bargaining team for the work that was done
025this season with bargaining and some exciting and creative agreements that we came to and yeah and formalizing some of this stuff is I know that like yeah release time was we had talked we've talked about that especially around VAPA all year but um seeing that formalized in anou is is good. I can't remember if I had a motion in a second. I didn't. Okay. I'll move to approve the HRA consent to items. I'll second. Any additional questions or discussion? All in favor say I. I. Opposed. Which brings us to our collective bargaining with the Les Mesa Spring Valley Teachers Association. Obviously, if this is coming to us, it's been um recommended and approved by the teachers association. Do you know what the vote was or was it with 80% um who ratified? So came in
026really strong. We were really pleased. And then was there a high voter turnout for that? Cuz I know that sometimes it's It was a good v voter turnout. I don't remember the exact number off the top of my head, but we had a a great turnout. I'll move to approve the collective bargaining agreement. Second. Um all in favor say I. I opposed. And that brings us to our closing communications reports and communications from the board and superintendent. This was a fast one. Grand opening grand opening. Yeah. Uh obviously some of us went to promotion so a cool experience. Uh uh got the opportunity to go to parkway and nice part of the day with in the morning and the in the setting of the trees in the middle of the campus. So that was uh
027nice to see plus obviously the opportunity to see the the changes to the campus. So uh yeah I mean that was a great opportunity that each of us got to go to one um again this year and then uh yeah obviously for those who are enjoying summer break um I hope you get a relaxing one. I know my my house is quite busy with the sound of two boys. Uh, and now sports camps. Uh, so it keeps us busy. And yeah, for the the staff here at the district who are busy, Deian was giving us a little insight into the work that her team is doing. Uh, hopefully there's some time to relax and recharge before the new year. And David, enjoy your camp. Yeah. Thank you. Yep. Um I have actually a quick question
028for the cabinet because I heard about this and was wanted to learn more and thought that everyone could learn more. Um but then also I wanted to shout out um one of our own I forgot to do this last time. Um the equity conference was back in May. Um at San Diego County of uh office of education hosts that every year and we one of our staff members Katie Sedwick um spoke at that and did a presentation on including student voice and agency within um you know how we're monitoring progress with our multilingual learners. Um and wanted to shout that out and think that that's a she sent me the slides for her um presentation. It's just really cool work that she's doing and um I hope that more um you know La Mesa Spring
029Valley can have more of a pre presence since we are doing a lot of great things with equity uh work in the future. Um but my question is if I know that we have ESY going on which is very exciting and thank you for all of the staff that's supporting that and you know students that are getting that support but I also heard something about positive and saw some posts about positive home visits. Could we learn more about what positive home visits are? Go ahead. You stole David's um what he was going to share about today. Um so our community schools program launching positive home visits. They had a training this week for our community school sites. We had over 80 staff trained to do um positive home visits. So it's going out and making
030a hometoschool connection. They're going to go in pairs um and we're paying staff who are interested. So it's completely voluntary. It's primarily our certificated staff and then our community schools facilitators and they go out to families and make connections and just help bridge the home to school connection over the summer. And so uh they had a training yesterday had over 80 staff members here to learn well not here but at the training to learn about like what the training entails because they have a protocol that they follow. They make the appointment they schedule the time with the family and go out and do that. And so we're really looking forward to having them spend some time just building those bridges for families this summer. Um, and really excited to see kind of the fruit that
031it bears building that connection with our with our schools and our students this summer. Do we have a goal of like reaching all of our kids or like Well, I know it's the first year doing this, so like do we have first year? Initially, they talked about starting small and just picking a few sites, but um, Roberta is like gung-ho, ready to go. she has done this previously in another district and so they opened it up and I was actually just shocked with the turnout because it was just widely whoever wants to come here's an opportunity. So I don't I think they just want to kind of get a baseline and see um and I don't know if they've given them like a minimum or anything like that. Um but I know that they all
032got some some guidelines and some you know a process and a protocol to follow and then we'll see they'll be collecting the data and then we'll see what happens. Cool. And was it a good mix of teachers and staff from each each of those school sites or was it like oh it was mostly teachers from one school site? Well, I know that um all that 12 of the 13 schools were represented but I don't know how proportionately they were. So awesome. Sounds good. No, it's their school. So they want to go and and ideally, you know, they're students if they're able. So and they won't know necessarily, but even in a hope of like if you're a second grade teacher, you could out have um for some students that might be your students next year,
033things like that. So to the extent possible, we really just want them to be making connections and building that connection for families. So they're, you know, thinking about who can we build those bridges with, who needs that, etc. So to the extent possible, you know. Yeah. So with Sorry, another followup to that. Um with the um you know, potentially teachers that could have students next, you know, next year. Um are we taking that into account of like, oh, they went and stopped by, you know, so and so's class when we're building classroom ro? Most of their rosters have already been built, but you know, they get manipulated. And so if their principles like if they have the ability to say like well here's some that you could work with, right? But to really they don't
034have that like they don't have their roster, the parents don't have the roster. So like I said to the extent possible, but they may be going to see students they had this year. They may be going. So it's really about just sort of building the connection to the school and having an adult who's safe for them at the school. Yeah. Are there new students, newcomer stu like, you know, newcomer to our district? Um, students that we're like, you know, TK families that we're, you know, are going to be TK families that we know are No, I don't I don't know. Okay. Yeah. I I don't know because I'm not quite that much in the weeds in the work. Um, I know that they have a group of students that they're looking at like attendance and
035things like that to try to find ways to wrap around that support. Um, but I I don't know how broadly they've selected that. Cool. the the population of kids that are going to participate. Is it also how how was it selected? I think selected No, no, no. But that's not what I'm saying at all. I mean, no. Is it is it really all students or is or or is it families who are signed up for certain programs? So, here's what I believe and I'm telling you what I think I know and I had a meeting about this like a month and a half ago and things change very rapidly. um they prioritize like here's some fe people to start with, right? So families that we know we want to make connections with, but also if
036you have like if these are people who work at the school and they know we want to encourage them to also there may be other families that they want to reach out to, right? Because they work there and they know. So I don't think that it's been that like here's a list, call these people. It may have been um I wasn't at the training with them yesterday, right? So, but I know that the program itself has a lot of structure to it to give them some guidance in the direction to head. Yeah. Home life are complex, right? Absolutely. Knocking on someone's door or calling people who are who are already limited in time and availability is, you know, obviously. Well, it's not a Yeah. And it wouldn't be a cold call. No, obviously not. I'm
037just trying to understand because I don't I don't know enough about it and, you know, so so just curious. Yeah. Just wondering. No. Well, I have have I had half of the PTA bombs at my house for a birthday party. Is that a not a problem? But, uh, no, that was just kind of curious because I mean, you know, growing up in some homes or, you know, where an authority figure as a teacher knocking on your door is not is not a welcome sign, right? Uh, whether it anything not saying necessarily anything bad going on, just parents are sometime overwhelmed with life as even I feel like on most days. So, yeah, I was just curious. Thank you. And I think part of that is the intention of this, right? Is to make a phone
038call, to reach out, to try to schedule an appointment, but all being done in a way that is about doing something positive and not being the scary teacher or school person who shows up at the home, but to come for that positive reason. Yeah. From the classroom teacher perspective, I think of kids that'll be now going into second grade that like if you knocked if their teacher knocked on their door a couple days before that first day of school morning would be completely different just with nerves and anxiety and fears and stuff like those are kids that in a good way in a like that would alleviate a lot of fear and anxiety. Sure. They're like she was just here two days ago and you know. Yeah. And then you get to school and you
039see like oh I get to be in her class. I'm so excited. It would just change a whole set of feelings for some of our kids that that first day is really terrifying. Well, that I wasn't even I wasn't a super anxious kid in school. But my fourth grade teacher and I still I still have this before school started sent us a little card and had a little picture of what she looked like and she like had gone it was a picture of her at the Oldtown schoolhouse and um like you know I'm very excited to have you in my class this year and like that was like that was just so cool getting that in the mail and um and then yeah and that that's something that like to this day I have that
040little card and letter um picture and so that's yeah absolutely I can see how that would make a Yeah. Kid go in and you you get a card with the teacher reading a story like a YouTube video of teacher. Those are things but obviously this yeah the the objective in this kind of intent of this program has to probably go beyond that because so like what what what are we targeting and and and who are we connecting? Because we are we trying to target the schoolboard members kid or is it probably not David has my cell phone right? I'm just going to talk to you. So it's making it's making greater connect. I mean obviously you guys are doing a lot of effort and you know bringing you know services that you know some you
041know family many families need whether they they appear to or not. Everyone has their own stories at home and obviously we were looking at attendance who went up and and perform better performance of all students regardless of their background. So, you know, obviously it's like you said, attendance might be a record or I got to imagine other factors that are going to be kind of more priority over others, not just, you know, a kid who's nervous about first day, but you know, a kid who needs that extra connection to hopefully find their path to success, I think, is part of our our saying, right? So, anyway, well, wish you guys luck and I hope I hope it's a great success. Thanks. Nerva, do you want to share? Yeah, I just want to say thank you
042um to the three principles that hosted um me for the graduations. I I think that's the best part of the year for me is going to the graduations and this year I was lucky enough that I was able to attend three of them because Kemp changed their graduation to a Monday which was awesome. And um the kids at Kemp made me think I need to up like step my game up when it comes to my Spanish because when they were doing their speeches, I was like, "Okay, yeah, they're going to fumble. They're going to fumble." And then when I it was just amazing how their dialect was just like so right on. And yeah, that just made me want to go figure things out with my Spanish. Um and then with Mr. Ricky, the Lessa.
043Um, one of the parents had emailed Mr. Oriki and spoke about how the kids, the fifth graders that were graduating, um, those were the kids who really didn't go into class until they were in third grade, um, because they went through COVID and then, um, they had to wear masks, so they didn't have the social cues because of the mask. And here they are, fifth graders going into sixth grade. Um, so that was another thing that put a lot of things into perspective and how things were. I I can't believe it was five years ago because it seems like it was yesterday. Um, and then just to see the middle schoolers going into high school, that's a you know, I look at them and I'm like, "Oh my god, they're so little. Like, how can
044they be going into high school already?" Um, so yeah, so that was that was um that's the best thing for me that I love about being on the board is going to the graduations. And then the other the only other thing is definitely if you guys could keep um all our military in your prayers um that are overseas. Um my son's overseas right now. Um hopefully he gets to come home, but I don't know. Um but yes, if you guys could just keep all the the military personnel out in the Middle East in your prayers and u and your thoughts, that is it. Thank you. Have a great summer. Um, I got to go to Elmax promotion with Deian. It was lovely as always. It was very hot. We didn't have trees, but we It
045was early, so we endured and it was worth it. Um, I also got to meet with Tina and the wellness committee. Um, and that was a neat group and I learned so much. Um, my daughter came home and told me they serve vegan chicken nuggets at school, so she ate them. Um, and I said, "No, they don't." Like she's like, "No, they're the Morning Star ones." I was like, "Did you see the package? Did they have a sign? Like how do you know?" I'm like, "You ate school chicken nuggets and my kids don't eat meat." So I was like, and I come to that meeting, they're like, "Oh, the kids love those vegan nuggets." And I was like, "Are they star knew exactly what she was talking about?" Um, but it's neat to learn more
046about the scratch cooking because we keep talking about it, but I didn't really connect that like they're actually cooking things from scratch in the kitchen at the school cafeteria. Um, instead of like just that package stuff that they heat. Um, and so when I was went home and apologized to my daughter, um, and told her that, you know, I'll do a better job believing you when you know what you're talking about. Um, and so then I was telling her about some of the smoothies and like the overnight oats. She's like, "We don't have that." I'm like, "Well, well, it's somewhere out there. Maybe you'll get it at some point." But I'm like, "You don't do breakfast at school, so maybe you do have it. You just don't go in there and see what's in there."
047But it definitely made her excited, made me very excited just about healthy choices that are good that kids are testing so they're not wasting all of the energy and time to make it and have kids not like it. So, it was exciting. David, how about you? Um yeah, I also uh Academy promotions. I I love going to those and this year I was at Steam and um one of the things that was really neat is the student speeches were in three languages. So was in English, Spanish and Tagalog. Um and we had translators there, families with um headphones, you know, and like live translation. People were really grateful and and just appreciated that. Um yeah, it was it was a really I really enjoyed the time. Um uh the other thing I wanted to mention
048is I was over at Parkway um early I think yesterday. I don't remember what day it was. It all it all blurs together. But the office is just looking amazing. So, can't wait to do the ribbon cutting over there because it's really, really neat the way that that whole place has been designed and just totally changes the dynamic of the school when when you're pulling up to it. And the only other thing just want to wish everyone a great summer and um grateful to all of our ESY folks, all of our positive home visits people um out and um you know, still giving their time to students. And also we have um Renee who is our um mindfulness coach through the UCSD um uh mindfulness center. Uh she's doing workshops this summer and we have
049um you know a good number of of staff that are coming on their summer break to participate in those workshops. So it's really neat to see. Excellent. want to jump in and say to remind teachers that it's okay to do nothing over the summer. That is okay. And parents like it's also okay to do nothing. Like we always want to think about like worry about the summer slide, but it's also okay to let your kids play and play with your kids and you need to watch Snow White for the fourth time this week. That is also okay cuz that's what I did this week. So, have a great summer. Thank you. That's good advice cuz I'm teaching summer school, but when I get home, I like grab a blanket and turn on TV and then
050get some hours of nothing. Yeah. Thank you. It feels good. Okay. Okay. And with that, we can adjourn this meeting at 6:40
