009is working so hard. It's exciting to be able to recognize y'all. I know it doesn't happen often every year, but we appreciate it and we're so excited and the smile on their faces and their excitement. So, thank you so much. I don't see Thank you all. All right, moving on into our audience with patrons. I want to remind y'all that this is a time for the public to come and speak to the board, but please be reminded that you may not use any names while speaking. If you do use a name that I will cut you off just to keep it we do have a process for grievances if that's the case, but please please not speak any names. You will each have three minutes and there will be a timer set. So our first
010one is not okay moving on. Mr. Le, good evening sir. How are you? Good. How are you? Doing well. So forgive me. speak a little loud because last time I was told that I wouldn't heard very good in the video. So, um I do not have a speech. I'm just going to talk to y'all. So, from last meeting in February, um I didn't really think I was going to have to get up here and speak again. I was surprised some of the stuff I recently heard. I was surprised of this contract being on the agenda again already which tell me only one thing and that's the overall performance evaluation was not what it should be and my view and a lot of the other staffs and employees use in this district. So you know I
011know you can't answer questions but these aren't horrible. These will be questions you have to ask or answer for and will be asked later on. It doesn't matter what you know it's confidential. I mean I know individual evaluations that doesn't matter. Eventually you have to vote on the contract and that's out. So who you stand with will be heard. Who you trust will be heard. So I just wanted to get that out. Um, one of the reasons why everybody spoke last time is because of kept hearing that there was board members that didn't understand what was going on. So, all these people came and spoke. You heard it. Some of you even talked to us face to face afterward and thank us for it. And now, I mean, I don't understand. You heard it. But
012apparently there's still so many of you who think that he is doing a good job. Don't understand. We don't understand. The question is where does your loyalty go? What's going on? Is it because you're [Music] friends? It's because you're friends. You shouldn't be a trustee because it's not your job to be his friend. It's not his job to be your friend. That's not how it works. can't have an unbiased performance evaluation with a buddy. So, I mean, we're all going to be looking for answers to these questions whether it's tonight if y'all or later on two months from now. Doesn't matter who you trust and I know some of you have children. You trust the teachers to teach them. You not trust what they said in February. All right, moving on. Good evening. How are
013you? Well, it's always exciting, too. I say nobody celebrates bigger than y'all do. Tonight was a good one. It was It was wonderful. The reactions were priceless. always celebrate our students and their accomplishments. Yes, ma'am. All right. I'll guide you through your folders. Uh tonight, the first thing in your folder is the time use track record from the February move. And as you can see, uh there was 45 minutes allotted to student outcome time out of 127 minutes. So that brought your percentage to 35.43. 43% for last month and I'm sure when Tony comes back it'll tell you what the average is then your running average. I don't have that information. So we're going to also review all progress measures one two three and 212 which were some of the things we celebrated and here
014they LS he did not provide me with that so I wasn't sure anyone [Music] Hello. Hi [Laughter] again. Okay. So, um tonight we're going to talk about start with progress 1.1 which is the participator students to meet grade level or above on in class reading assessment. Our goal is to increase annually to increase um by August of 2026 to be at I'm sorry August of 2025 to be at 56%. So I can tell you that we are well on target for this goal is as you can see and for those of you that don't have this document at the beginning of the year our overall kinder readiness was 28% in reading. we have at middle of the year grown to 40%. So uh that is a pretty good measure of growth. We typically see a
015higher measure of growth for now till the end of the year because we don't have the two breaks break through Christmas break which we love but they do give us a little bit of backline. So I do expect to see us um meet or exceed our goal of 56%. Going across, if you have the document in front of you, you can see that our overall was 40%, our Hispanic was 41. The um the rate for white was 56, African-American was 13, our economically disadvantaged was 34, special was 24, and our ED was 39%. So, do you have any questions about this report? You want me to go ahead and do the second? Yeah, okay. So then our confidence monitor measure for 2.1 is a percentage of students who meet grade level or above on the
016inclass math assessment. And our target annual target for that one by August 2025, which actually is May, but we don't report again until the summer is to be 30%. So uh right now we're at 30 I mean at 28%. So we are only two 2% is going away. So I anticipate we will well surpass that number. Our overall again 28% Hispanic 26% white 37% African-American 17% economically disadvantaged 21% special education 20% and our emerging bilingual at 26%. All right, any questions? Thank you cherry teachers. Very good. And I want to thank Miss and Miss Garner for being here to support me. We cannot do this without it takes more than just them, but just let you put some names of places if you don't amazing team. Thank you'all so much. Thank you. Keep it short
017and sweet this time. So that's I'm going to follow Lisa suit and stay on track. And of course, I want to thank my teachers for being here. They always come out and support and everything. They're the ones, this is their data. All we can do is keep striving and push them and encouraging them, but they're the ones that are in the classroom doing this every single day. So, I want to make sure we always praise them and thank them. So, I'm going to start off with our first one, which is 1.2, which is our first grade reading um percentages. And so, we'll see across the board. All of our data continued to go stayed the same in one area of special education, but other than that, it went up in every category. So, starting off
018with 1.2 with the reading, we went from the beginning of the year to 28 to 38%. Our goal for the end of this year is 40. So, we just have two percentages to go. And so, they're rocking and rolling. And so, no doubt they're going to meet this goal. Um, and so nothing but great things to say. And so, we will be back here in May. you're actually going to present till July and we'll be celebrating them again then. Goal 1.3 is second grade and this one has been my hardest since taking on LSD. We have just had a hard time the rigor the test between first and second grade and the passage and everything. Um it's just it's been harder and so for every ever since we started LSG this has been the one
019goal that I have not met for our campus and we are on track and we are there. We're so close to being there. So, we're already at 53%. We need to get to 62. So, without a doubt, I know that the same team is going to rock and roll with us. [Applause] Come up from 38 at the beginning of the year already to 53. So, keep it up second grade. You are doing amazing. Any questions about our reading data? Moving on to our math. We got some of our math teachers here, team leaders, too. We're gonna go on to 2.2. I'm not going to do this for 2.1. So at least looking at our map and that is just with TIA little tidbit of information. Um we've been really working on getting our assessments for
020our pre because we will be going through the process next year. Math is just a lot easier to meet our goals just because math is so concrete and foundational and everything. So with math we are going to know what we've already started making. Miss De Brock and I, Miss Renzy, and a couple of our team leaders sat down last week and started creating our post assessment kind of working backwards. Um, and it's going to be more in line to the third grade star. Actually, Miss Deck pulled the third grade star, teach them the questions that we aligned the amount of questions for and the percentage weights the third grade's responsible for exactly the second grade. So, we are going that test is going to be harder. R is one of my senior leaders that working
021on it. Um, it's hard, but it's going to get our kids prepared more than ever. are super excited about that next year and I can't wait to present that data to you if that's the route we live on. So looking at first grade first at the beginning of the year they were at 21% this year they are at 54 I mean and now they're at 54% so they've already exceeded their goal their goal was actually to get to 34 because of last year's data so they have already seated I told you they just keep rocking and rolling the cat but I also want to say these kids came in much higher this year from Cherry than any previous year so that's again kudos to Cherry for getting the job done and everything and so it's
022much easier for when we receive our babies to take off running from there. So, always want to make sure that her teachers and her admin team get that praise as well. Looking at second grade, second grade started the year at 14% and they are currently at 28% and they need to get to 29. So, they're definitely on track as well. You can look across the board in all our subcategories, ethnicities, there's been improvement in every single category. So again, it's the teachers. We just get to praise and celebrate. Any questions for me, my team, or the teachers? [Laughter] Great work. Great work. Yes, it is. And I notic your special ed numbers are really coming in strong. So as [Music] well we're going to look at superintendent which is about 92.23 two and we all
023fight in the springtime that are going around. So, you're still hanging in there really strong back up. Oh, yes. Yes. It's a big one because we have an item on the agenda tonight regarding this. So, I don't full transparency there as it is. And so what we will be doing, we do have a low attendance waiver qualification date going before the board today. And so that particular bolded number with the asterisk will will change uh uh depending on uh everything coming out. But uh I say that because you know it's showing at 91.5 our campuses have done a phenomenal job as you see uh going back to 2020 all the way back to 2022. uh in that October 89%.3 to 95.4 uh and then in the second go round in January getting all the way
024back to where we started from 93.2 2 to 94.9 almost 95%. And I can tell you any district in this area that's around 95% is celebrating a lot. Absolutely. And so that that number I uh you know I don't want to surmise what that would be, but it's it's probably just as strong and we can't wait and and that's why I really wanted to provide that testimony because that that number is not indicative of the hard work and the incentives and the positive and the fact that teachers make rooms where kids want from the school and that's what it is. show your celebrations. So, we're uh that number will change and of course we're tracking that number for uh some incentives for staff at the end of the year so we be sure we get
025all these calculations as correct as possible but it is looking well literally stronger than ever. Well, it is very strong and I go to several districts in this region and nobody is holding it stronger than y'all are really and it is hard this time of year will be so we will protect it. All right. And we're gonna also review superintendent four shall not tolerate physically aggressive behavior students and your number for January, February, March is 57 to a big it just to speak to that first number that was much higher. We talked again about transparency that the uh the goal doesn't say fighting. It doesn't say assault, it says aggressive behavior. So, uh, that's going to fluctuate with us. We're going to look for that because aggressive behavior is not always a fight. We've got
026to work on these things. Uh, whether it's pushing or shoving, our teachers have to deal with. And so, we've got to be able to analyze that data and report it out here. Uh, I'm grateful to see that the number is going down. And I can tell you that the work on the campus is just phenomenal. And, uh, we're just always going to put these numbers out front. And so, uh, I will be getting, uh, transportation data. Uh, we don't do a one-sizefits-all here, but PBIS is huge. Those of you who do is absolutely amazing. Uh, and so, uh, PBIS was the transportation this year. And so, we're looking forward to tracking that, not as part of LSG, but, uh, a new initiative, a new way of thinking, out of the box. Uh, and, uh, seems
027to be working well. And uh when I say out of the box, the camps have already been doing stuff, but the whole idea that they brought forth to move that over to transportation has been great. Well, and transportation sometimes is a whole different ball game. I can remember as a principal being called by transportation that they pulled off the side of the road and they always wanted me to come so I could continue what we try to do at the school. So that is great to be able to mesh the two together so the students see one system and understand same same terminology same language from getting to school and it's it's beautiful lot of hard work by the campus [Music] well I think great great data that the time. Are there any questions? Are
028you being able to continue your community engagement? I know you always find that quarterly. Uh so, uh Tony kind of helps on that said, you know, it's the easiest way to track is quarterly so that we get all of those benchmark and it's easier. You're not trying to organize so much. So, next year we'll have to do that. All right. Well, for next month, I anticipate company will be back with [Music] you and thank you for allowing me to be here. Thank you for being here. No, what I would say there is that I definitely add to James is that we had our midyear evaluations. I want to brag on these principles again Marissa and well all of you that are here you know you align or make your evaluation you align your goals with
029these goals because it's all efficient and uh like you are I will make that statement because as far as superintendent's interpretation I'm also highly confident that we will meet these goals it's it's looking great and congratulations and thank you for meeting with me mid year uh and going through your goals but they are your goals it's a great celebration and everything's looking great Make a motion to approve LSG as presented workbook. There's a motion on the table. Is there a second to the motion? All right, we have a first and a second. Any further comments or questions? Real quick, thank you staff for everything that y'all are doing for attendance. I know y'all go above and beyond. I see it in your newsletters. I see it on your pages. So, thank you because it is

Yes ma'am. In board book there was some parameters there that you know if you drop below a certain percentage from the year before you watch that close as we've done our teachers have done a great job. Our administrators have done a great job. So, it's our job to watch those percentages for any reason we're going to file those waiverss. Of course, I highly recommend us passing this waiver for all

032afternoon. So I just want to make sure that every board member has the opportunity to read those. Um, so I would like to pull that aside. So we'll revisit D u after we approve the rest of the consent agenda. Is there anything else from the consent agenda? All right. Is there a motion to be made?
