001thank you for coming out just a couple of announcements I can't believe can't believe that we're halfway through the school year don't know the first half went but somehow congratulations to the E school students who assum the r for $100,000 prize conning mathematics math problems going to the children at East and it's sort of still an exciting time in the school week that with the place coming up and sports awards and all those kinds of fun things coming up so hopefully you'll keep an eye out for those and at this point I'll thank you Dr excuse me one other thing uh Mr PTO and m p po on the regrets that we not attend the meeting tonight I also this is hot off the process have told the board yet but we got news this
002week that two of our um 10th grade students are moving to round two in the L War science and engineering Fair um which is a really big honor it's me they're in the top I think it's 15% of all students on Long Island and they have a shot at going to the Nationals which is really something is for those of you who don't know this is really like a pathway to Reon um so this is the birth we've gotten the earliest time so Sydney berstein and um castle c will be moving into that next level so it's really ex and with that I would like to invite up a group of our high school students and staff who we're going to present about another wonderful program our Abid program [Music] what did you do it
003wouldn't be any fun if we didn't have any little complications all right thank you very much and thanks I don't want to in you have it's not a sign of a lot so I want to thank everyone good I want to thank everyone for giving us this time tonight to talk about a very important uh program at the high school this is your Avid 101 we're going to try and give you a snapshot of the whole AVID program the acronym AOC stands for advancement via individual determination which is very necessary in our I World School the idea of ad is that every student will be College and Career ready when they leave our school and that every all means all so first I want to introduce the members of our site team who are here
004so you have Mrs Paige sorry Mrs anovich she's an English and special education teacher we have Mrs Bloom science teacher extraordinaire we have Mrs Connelly who is an English teacher and also has taught the a elective we have Mrs Silverman the an English teacher we have Mrs leader here hiding behind me she's our out guidance counselor she works with all our out elective students Mrs Maron unfortunately became Hill just recently and not a to be here Mr NS is another guidance counselor on our team I think I might introduce Mrs Ser she's English teacher and of course on Mrs Walsh fer this is the team that designates our practices our professional development every year we set a focus for what we're going to work on the most next year and our goal for next year
005so what does College and Career Readiness look like the average College and Career Readiness framework tries to describe that so what do students need to be College and Career ready the first thing they need is rigorous academic instruction without that nothing else will helpful also opportunity knowledge about careers and college they need Student agency they need to feel an ownership of their education a confidence in their abilities and they could change in the world and they need relational capacity they need to feel like they're in a community that loves them accepts them has confidence in them and supports them and how do educat Educators give students what they need to be college and clear ready they insist on rigor in the classroom they use rigorous instructional practices and give the appropriate support to make sure
006kids can meet those goals they break down the barriers to Opportunities we give the kids the knowledge and help them Reach Out To those opportunities align the work amongst the whole team so today we met with the instructional directors to align the work for next year and plan how we're going to implement a going forward and also advocate for all students that's the foundation of the ad career Le sorry cage College in career Readiness framework it's put on instruction systems leadership and culture so wicker is how we make sure that all our students have access to rigor instruction rigorous instruction wck wicker is tier one universal instruction it's not just in the have elected it's across the board in all classrooms we've done professional development the site team with their peers we've also had folks
007come in from ad to professional development with our teachers to ensure wigger in our classroom the Wicker framework involves writing inquiry collaboration organization and reading and there's a whole host of strategies that we've worked with on our teachers the kids will share some of their favorite strategies later but all this is to make sure that our kids have rigorous instruction and opportunities for collaboration and agency in our classrooms the Abid elective is an individual class we have some of our Avid elective students here the ab elective is designed to give those you remember before I said individual determination it's to give those kids that have the individual determination aspire to be in our highest level classes like IB a dual enrollment college classes aspire to have a great career aspire to attend college but might
008need some support with what you might consider those executive functioning skills organization time management not taking and also maybe some critical reading and writing skills you know to become to bring to a higher level and it's to give kids who show that desire and that need a little additional support the goal is eventually through our add of professional development that that would be available in all their classes and the elected might not be necessary for that additional support that that would be provided in every classroom across the board the aid Club is an extension of our aid program we it started because our elected kids we didn't offer it to the higher grades and they kind of want to continue their Abid Journey but now it's offered to all of our students students so all
009of our students have the opportunity to join this college and career opportunity knowledge Club they go on College visits they explore careers by going to different businesses or working with professionals they also do service community service in the community and they take leadership roles like our AB ambassadors that you see here tonight so these are just some examples of the opportunity knowledge that we we've work with in our Avid Club college visits career exploration and this is some of the agent and service that our Avid Club has worked on um we have our Avid ambassadors they do orientation tours at the high school they've done a welcome community service Mrs Connell is currently advising that group and a lot of that is student driven it's what they want to work on what they feels the
010community service that they want to get so I'm going to introduce our student ambassadors you'll see a uh photo montage playing behind them of some of the experiences that they've shared our Advocates have shared together and each of them is going to tell you a little bit about have Aid has influenced their High School Journey so I have the microphone here I have before begin speaking we have um a sample of her Focus notes and learning walks to show you the kind of things that we teach and AD and how it's rigorous instruction it's not just we hope that they'll do well I am I'll be talking about an aage one aage stry that has been very helpful to me are laar log as an example and laar log help me consolidate my learning and

017experience um and journey and and so I really love that I think that's great I'm just curious as to what kind of community service projects you all have been working on we did something El the um the souls for Souls we and then we've also working on other did Valentine's Day another found thank you so much for your presentation tonight really enjoyed it thank you so much for coming out when students come to us and you present as you did with such you know vibrancy and you're so excited about what you've learned and what you're learning it really means a lot to us that you take the time to do that so thank you and you all presented yourselves very well um I can't thank you guys enough for all the hard work that you
018do with our students some of the key words I heard you say was independent organizing helping me see what I want to do in college these are all the things that we want for all of our students and it's wonderful that we have programs and guidance from teachers and wonderful students who helped make ad the ad broken such a successful one um I really don't have any questions I'm just very happy to hear that you are all looking forward um and that you know that college can be the way you want to go and I look forward to hearing more wonderful things about you when you're alumni just like the alumni was on the TV thank you I just want to Echo the other these remarks and thank you for coming out tonight be much
019more comfortable and easier at home I just have two questions I'd like to ask and it's not directed anybody specifically but anybody who wants to take the question what would your high school experience have been without [Music] evid I feel like it helped me stay way more organized and I feel like the class helped me get my work done and know what I need to do okay good answer uh my second question is how big is the average class typical average class well in nth and 10th grade I would say it was about like 12 people for inom class we have 29 applications for the nade class right now my gr is enroll so is that the average size approximately 12 I'll be honest with you it's changeed from 14 to 20 but we have
020more we've been building and we have more applications for the incoming night graders uh I I think we students 29 applications for class and then master schedule compx graduation requirements tend to kind of un some students have Cho my last question is what does staff development look like when it comes into the school for I can speak for ab how it looks yes that's what I mean there's a couple of ways that we do so the first is this is the site team they all in added train to provide professional development so we we've done it a number of different um ways we have those Monday committee meetings so sometimes we break the staff up into groups and we each take a group and provide uh training in the aid strategies selected Aid strategies that
021can be implemented in the classroom we've also done work with an aid uh Regional representative has come in so for instance the the Department's all have common planning so they've met with each department and providing training that way um we've done professional development with District administrator also with with me and well I like that notebook you saw that's actually something she does in my class which is not an avid class we use that in all of our living environment and earth science classes so we've taken things that we've learned and now we use them in our whole in the whole department so it's not just the Avid elective that's getting these strategies so we're able to then take it to our departments and share the things that we like the most yeah it just it
022just concerns me that I think basically what you're talking about is good instruction I think good instruction is good instruction regardless of the label whether it's IB or whether it's AP or whether it's ad other special education that nothing takes the place of the instruction this program seems to be built on principles of solid uh educational instruction so away from that I just once again thank you for coming out thank you for being supportive of your school and of the program and thank the teachers also m w beler for organizing this presentation tonight thank you very much and you are more than welcome to stay for the presentation on the transportation budget but we totally understand if you have other things that you might prefer to do so if you want to feel free to
023get going we really appreciate you we still think you [Music] hi bye next up our series of thank you Dr G good evening everybody we're going to be talking about Transportation this evening I just want to introduce Paul White who's our transportation supervisor who's here with us this evening who available if any specific questions comes up come uping our presentation so our transportation service we provide is actually four separate functions that you see on the left and those are the budget codes a551 District transportation which encompasses our inhouse bus drivers and our bus AIDS so that's where those um costs are found and that's the budget you see an increase of about 4% what we're projecting for next year what we have in that line item not only do we have I think it's um
02443 current B 40 42 42 bus drivers but we also have pre vacancies so we have a budget in there for the pr vacancies we still trying to hire we know there's a bus driver shortage out there but we do for next year budget for the three vaces and also five standby routs which again we don't have the buck drivers to fill that's why it's such a crunch down the transportation because we have our dispatchers driving sometimes we have our safety inspector driving sometimes we have our some of our mechanics driving especially when people call out sick um continue to try to hire we're actually introducing a pilot program uh right now where we have some of our 30-hour bus drivers to gain more hours doing um we're going to introduce them into the buildings
025to do some cleaning some bus Aid uh excuse me building Aid work as a way of trying to get also more bus drivers to say that you know there are other opportunities to work and money here in Long Beach so we're we're really trying lots of different strategies there Transportation garage is where we have our mechanics and again that's about 4% increase there most of those costs have to do with the new salary schedule for next year and have those mechanics go along salary schedule contract Transportation those are the routs that we contract out to our vendors and you see a larger increase there um and that's partly because and know just going to go to the note here for a second is that uh we know we're going to have some contract extension with
026Transportation vendors that will be you know more than four or 5% we also know we need two app we're going to have to contract out through a future bid so we're projecting some costs there and then we have one possible new route for an out District placement because it's typical now that we get some out of District students sometimes new to the district or sometimes new to an out of District placement and it's hard for sometimes for us to consolidate that with an existing route and we need to create a new route and usually have to contract out for that so that's some of the cost drivers for 5530 the last item is Bose Transportation so we do have bosis do some of our transportation and for the most part bosis contracts out and we
027have been told that through bosis they're going to have to go out for a new contract next year which they will likely see around 30% since not all of that line item is for that you see there we're projecting a 25% increase there knowing that those prices are still not come in yet but that's what a likely price increase will be so you see we have our four different functions our inhouse our garage the RS we contract out to various venders and of the routes that we do through bosies overall you're seeing here you know about $500,000 Ian actually more than that about $700,000 increase um to our presentation this evening just some of the highlights next board meeting we have our elementary program on March 11th March 25th is our secondary program that's going
028to be high school and middle school April 8th is our special education program the board will adopt the budget on April 23rd then as we know the third Tuesday in May is the budget vote and the board election and the week prior to that May 13th is our budget un any questions or comments from the board on Transportation I just have a few questions Mr dito thank you for the presentation and thank you for the brevity um first I just want to know what the state of our f is in terms ofes often times when we talk about budget we talk about you know maybe budgeting for a Min or another bus or the other day talked about electric buers which was a topic of conversation as well so what is a general State R
029feat in terms of about buses right so I would say they're in good condition um every year we buy a couple new buses um I could have put it in here but it's not in these line items in terms of the new buses it's a separate section of the budget that we will present before the budget before budget adoption um you know we're in good condition we've replaced new buses I think how many buses do you know how many we bought this year was it about three or four yeah together about yeah so um we bought last year we bought some small buses this year we bought some large buses um we're not buying any new CG buses because they're not for sale any longer but we are buying a high gasoline efficiency bus in
030terms of our gasoline buses and um you know there's still you know talk with the electric buses but that's such a huge expense is still very high and um you state isn't really giving us any specific feedback there was a lot of lobbying to uh change that requirement and just a sort of an answer question well what's the state of the depot down there you know I visited last year we did an inspection of different buildings and schools it's always been an area of concern in terms of just and it's just not a primary school and it's not a school building so often times it gets overlooked and it gets put back back to back in terms of uh especially when funding is tight so what is the state of the depot down there what
031right emergency should we have in terms of doing something about I think it was about two years ago we replaced the wall there and then we we painted the outside we put in a new exterior wall that's why it that's that we painted we put the new letters up U we put in a new sewer line just uh this past few months in order to you know deal with some of the plumbing issues over there we did have a a plumbing backup just two weeks ago not from the sewer line of the replacement something further out closer to the street that we repair so we're on things as they happen in terms of the actual building nothing's really been identified by Mr gorillo as something that needs immediate attention when it was a couple of
032years ago with the wall that was collapsing you know we rebuilt that so there's nothing that I would say is rising to a high priority in terms of the building I'm sure it would be nice to have a larger break room you know if there was an opportunity to have a larger break room that would certainly be nice um but again we're coming down to things that are tight I mean the board can certainly take a look at that as we present you know our Capital plan you know that we hope to get finalized in the next couple of months but Mr gillo hasn't identified anything as as anything urgent at this point and we feel that the number of bus drivers we have although we three short or whatever was said in terms of
033that that it's a comfortable number because I sitting that per when there was great urgency among shortage of drivers and maybe getting parents to come and drive or drive their kids to school and receive some kind of abatement for that are we comfortable with that procedure in terms of our numbers or I wouldn't say we're that comfortable to be honest okay um whatever we can do to get more drivers would be great we have 42 Mar PA 42 now we started the year with 45 I think it was so we lost three which wasn't great um that's why we have some vacancies we don't have any spare drivers which we like to have them what they call standby drivers in case someone's out and then what happens is that when the driver is out we
034have to take like a few stops from one route and put them on another route if she stops from that route put it on another we have to split it up and and it becomes really challenging and it is stressful when the dispatchers are driving doing RS the mechanic and safety inspector so it's it's not it's it's it's stressful um they're doing their best they do a great job um you know buar is care a lot for our children and I know the office the dispatches and everybody there are really trying to pitch in to make it smooth but it's a challenging challenging environment and the district is difficult because we provide and offer a lot of Transportation Service you know and other districts they don't could be mistaken but I don't think o side
035has any right they don't have any busing for their high school students at all uh and you know other districts as well they don't offer it right so you know we offer a lot um you know it's just hard now with the shortage often times that's something that's Overlook in this community is the fact that we own our own buses and in fact often times curriculum even during the school day and whatever that we have that luxury of holding our own and sort of accomodating students to a greater extent how the school district is to I also want to take moment to thank you sir if you sort of a new um employee and you sort of hit the ground running and grateful for the transition that you've made and you've made it sort of
036seamless so on behalf of the board I want to thank you for your your experience and your commitment and your energy and your making every effort to accommodate the kids here thanks would be able to do without everyone very helpful CH in really help me get along have that thank you the other thing just want to add is what's also about just the nature of transportation is you know it's the morning and the afternoon for the most part so in a lot of our jobs we have the opportunity to spread out our work over the course of a 7 or 8 or n hour day but it's the morning in and the afternoon out with just some you know midday stuff so it's hard just the nature of Transportation you know in terms of you
037can't really have someone else to oook can you do some more work because well I'm already doing I'm already doing W so it's the nature of it as and there's no more stressful day in public education in the first day as far as elementary schools making sure kids get home on the right bus in terms of that and they can sure you answer parents calls and stuff and it seems as though we're having fewer emergencies every year so we also want to thank transportation and certain Mr R Transportation any other board members U yeah just a couple of questions thank you Mr deito um just regarding and I was going to ask about the elect bues but you you answered that question regarding the training program for drivers is this a universal issue that Long
038Island is dealing with in terms of getting bus drivers is it a problem just it's actually a national problem you know certainly cute here um and we do have our in terms of training we have our own safety inspector who actually works with some of our bus AES and has helped them transition to bus drivers some of our other employees who actually helps them gives them the hours giv them the experience on our buses and works hard to to really make them ready to drive so it's not really a training issue it's more of a recruitment issue um it's just it's it's difficult it's difficult to to fill the vacancies thank you thank you so much for your presentation approximately how many students do we bu well you know bus our in District students public
039we bust students going out of District out of District placements and then we bust private school students so um in terms of the number routed is also different than the number that actually ride so I I'm trying to off the top of my head I think that maybe about 2,000 students actually Ry and I think it's about 700 students that we um take to private schools and I can but that's just off the top of my head I think it's about a ridership of 200 in District and 700 who go District PR schools thank you um I noticed that on here we have the BOS transportation and I know that you said that we have three vacancies um for bus drivers when we fill those three vacancies would we be able to reduce the amount
040of our all I don't I don't think so I I think what it does is reduces the dependency on our dispatchers safety inspector the mechanic um you know those are really the routes that our off what we call our office staff are doing really fing those vacancies um so with the bosis in terms of those are Bose placements are going to out District Bose schools that we have bothies doing it you know because they do the transportation they contract out I think if we had more bus drivers and maybe we could take back some of that B's work but at this point we're just looking to fill those vacancies so that the office staff don't have to go out as often as they do um and then if we had to standby maybe we could
041take back some work but again people are out and you know there are times when there are several bus drivers who are out and it makes it all stressful you know the buses they do such a wonderful job they really do when you see them driving around town they're always very careful they're droing their kids the kids off making sure that parents are there so they're doing a wonderful job taking care of our students so please give them my thanks thank you um it's just I I'm glad that we talked about the electric buses but how much are the the buses that we're purchasing this year so uh the large buses I believe are about $200,000 yes yeah the electric buses is still at about 450 I remember a few maybe a year ago to
042we talked we talked about the difference between getting the larger buses versus getting the smaller buses because it's easier to find people who drive the smaller buses than the larger buses so are we still looking into maybe not so much because you know our bus drivers really should be able to drive both when needed um we use the small buses mostly for our special education students occasionally if we're going out of District um to a private school where there aren that many kids on the bus we can use a small bus but when we train our drivers we really want them to be able to really use both buses sure it's easier to be in a small bus but I don't think it's really makes sense to have a bifurcated staff where you have okay
043these are the drivers for the small these for the large and we went into some Union issues with that um and also some morale issues I think so it's not something I would recommend okay um and you mentioned earlier about maybe having some of our bus drivers working throughout the day has that been accepted well it's it's new we just introduced it to the group over there right before the break um so far there were a few people that expressed interest we're hoping to have some more interest um something we're working on currently again looking for opportunities to say Hey you know you want more hours you want more get another opportunity to work during the day when you can't drive and uh can certainly you know use the backup help in the buildings in
044case people are out sick there um and we're looking at it as a pilot to see if it works we know they do it in herck and they do it in several of the districts throughout Nas County where they have what's called a driver cleaner or driver a titles and it seems to work there okay thank you so much thank questions and comments from the public on s topic only there it is 460 hson Street I just had some questions on the um transportation um are there qualifications like do you have to have a certain um driver's license for that okay CDL okay that's what I thought so are there other like um city employees that have that that maybe like if they have a a city job that like like I didn't know you
045know you were looking at different recruitment things like maybe looking at you know saying if you do do your regular job in the morning maybe that it frees up other people in the afternoons that already have that qualification talk about staff that have work in the city of L yeah yeah like I'm just thinking like other people who you know if our um sanitation department works early and I don't know but by the time like school is out if they're not we'd certainly be willing to have a you know work with us I know that the city is looking for the same on there you know they're looking for some of our people who still working for them so I think it's kind of a shortage everywhere okay but we're certainly open to anybody who
046would want to work even on a limited basis and so right so that's like a part time it's what you can you know okay and then I was just wondering like sometimes I I I know it's based on need and um so but sometimes it surprises me who is getting a offer to USS you know that people are live so close and I know for a lot of people because it's there it's it's taken advant you know they they utilize it but if Oceanside doesn't offer any busing for their high school kids maybe we can look at like maybe the because it's offered we take it but but maybe we wouldn't be in such a shortage If there really isn't so much of that need and just in terms of the need you know we
047have the eligibility requirement so for elementary you have to live greater than 05 f a mile from the school in order to be eligible to go for the busing at the secondary level it's 1.5 right it's greater than 1.5 um for the board to then they can certainly entertain it and say here we're going to change those eligibility requirements and maybe make for elementary you have to live a mile or greater from the school in order to be eligible or two miles let's say um from the high school the middle school I think it'd be an outcry in the community if we did something like that but five just seems I feel like you could throw your kids that far you know but I picked my school because I lived so close and planned on
048walking you know because I I didn't want to or have to bus so I I that's why maybe I'm not the right person to ask for that but I just thought sometimes it's it's so low that maybe we could look at what the need is okay thanks of Education Ro business yes hi I just wanted to mention at a couple of board meetings I had spoken about the traffic issues that we were having on Leo Boulevard and I had met with a couple of County and City officials regarding that so I received a letter in the mail that they looked over the case and they've decided that um we do need some more signage along Le Boulevard to help with our traffic um they are looking into changing some of the signs so that it's
