I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU HERE TODAY AS THE STUDENT IS FOUGHT SINCE THE DISTRICT'S DECISION OF DECEMBER 21 RESPECTIVELY PLEADED WITH THE BOARD OF THE ADMINISTRATION TO ALLOW CONEJO TO CONTINUE OPERATING UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP AT 975 THE CAMPUS OF THE CONEJO SCHOOL IS LICENSE IN THE DISTRICT FOR 35 YEARS. I LOVE CONEJO IN THE STAFF, TEACHERS AND THE STUDENTS THAT I LOVE THE CAMPUS THAT YOU GENEROUSLY ALLOW THE SCHOOL TO LEASE FROM YOU.

WE CONTINUE TO PLAN FOR RETIREMENT BUT I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR MY TOP PRIORITY IS ENSURING CONTINUE THE TALLY AND GROWTH FOR THE SCHOOL BEYOND OUR TIME AS OWNER OPERATORS.

I HAVE COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN THE NONPROFIT VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS. I'VE SEEN THE DIRECTORS TACKLE DIFFICULT ISSUE WITH PASSION, WISDOM, EMPATHY.

THEY REQUIRED LITTLE ADVICE AND GREATER HEIGHTS IN THE LEAST CONCURRENT. WHEN HOLLY AND I PURCHASED A SCHOOL 18 YEARS AGO THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE LEASE BY THE DISTRICT WAS ACHIEVED BY THE SIMPLE ONE LINE LETTER THAT TOOK A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THE DISTRICT TO PROVIDE.

WE WERE NOT ASKED FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, BUSINESS PLANS OR PREPAID RENT, THE CURRENT PROCESS WAS STARTED 18 MONTHS AGO AND WE REQUESTED A SIMPLE ASSIGNMENT RELEASED TO THE NONPROFIT. AFTER COUNTLESS HOURS IN OVER $100,000 OF LEGAL FEES WERE STILL NOT FINISHED.

THE NONPROFIT BOARD SECRETARY WILL FOLLOW ME WITH STATEMENTS OF HIS OWN IN A MAKE REASONABLE REQUESTS.

I'M ASKING YOU TO TAKE THEM TO HEART.

I'M ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER WHAT CAN A HALL HAS ALREADY MADE AND LOOK UPON THE AREAS WITH DISAGREEMENTS REMAIN AND IMAGINE IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER THE TERMS BEING OFFERED TO US IF CONEJO WAS YOUR SCHOOL. IF THE DISTRICT CANNOT COME TO TERMS FOR THE NONPROFIT WE ARE PREPARED TO DELAY OUR PROFIT AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE SCHOOL UNDER THE CURRENT LEASE FOR THE REMAINDER OF ITS TERM WHICH IS JULY 31, 2025.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NONPROFIT DIRECTORS. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS TO LISTEN TO MY PERSPECTIVE AND THANK YOU FOR THE TIME THAT YOU SPENT CONSIDERING THE NONPROFIT REQUEST.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

THE NEXT SPEAKER IS KEVIN. >> GOOD AFTERNOON PRESIDENT GILL, TRUSTEE SYLVESTER, GOLDBERG, GORBACK AND POWELL, SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN NWT SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR HAYEK AND STUDENT DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES AS WELL.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU TODAY.

SEPTEMBER IS EXCITING THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS AND WERE OPTIMISTIC IN ALL THE POSSIBILITIES FOR STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY I'M HERE SPEAKING AS A DIRECTOR AND BOARD SECRETARY AT THE CONEJO SCHOOL. I'M HOPING TO CREATE FUTURE POSSIBILITIES FOR CV UST GETTING HER SCHOOL, THE NONPROFIT ENTITY THAT WILL OPERATE WHEN THE FLEMINGS RETIRE IS ASKING YOU TO RESUME NEGOTIATIONS FOR 975 EVEN STAR, THE LAST VERSION OF THE LEASE WE NEGOTIATED WITH CLOSE TO FINAL BEFORE THE TERMINATION UPON SALE CLAUSE WHICH WAS A CONVERSATION STOPPER.

[00:20:04]

IN THE EVENT THAT YOU WERE UNWILLING TO RESUME NEGOTIATIONS WITH US, WE HAVE TO QUESTION WHY.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE CAMPUS, I REMEMBER PRESIDENT GILL MENTIONED THE IDEA OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND DECEMBER OF 2021, THAT IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE TAXPAYERS WILL BE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT.

ARE YOU EXPECTING TO FILL THE SCHOOLS CV UST STUDENTS? DO CONTINUE TO REPORT TO CLIENT, ALMOST 3000 STUDENTS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT SEEMS UNLIKELY CV UST STUDENTS WILL LAUGH AND LEARN OR START IN CLASSROOMS IN THE SHORT OR MEDIUM TERM. IT'S ANOTHER SCHOOL INTERESTED IN THE CAMPUS? IF THAT IS THE CASE CARTING CONEJO YOU LOYAL 10 OF 35 YEARS REQUEST EQUAL CONSIDERATION RELEASING OR PURCHASING THE PROPERTY.

IF YOU HAVE PLANS THAT DON'T INCLUDE CONEJO SCHOOL, THE COMMITTEE DESERVES TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ALTERNATE PLANS PLEASE RESUME THE LEASE CONVERSATION WITH US. THANK YOU.

>> NEXT SPEAKER IS BRIAN FARRELL.

>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY I'M NOT POINTING YOU ALL BY NAME, I HAVE THREE MINUTES. FIRST OF ALL THE LAST TIME I WAS APPEAR ABOUT FOUR WEEKS AGO. WE WERE CHAINED FOR MISSION POSSIBLE THANK YOU TO CSEA AND THOSE FAMILIES.

AS PRESIDENT AND NEWLY MEMBER OF THE RETIREE CLUB.

OUR JOB IS TO LISTEN AND BEGIN TO HER BOSSES.

LATELY WE HEARD A LOT OF RUMORS ABOUT SOME THINGS AND SOME INVESTIGATION DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN AND DOCTOR HYATT GOT A LETTER TODAY FROM US AND WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING THAT THE REASON WHY WE ARE BRINGING A PUBLIC IT CONCERNS SAFE AND HEALTHY MEMBERS FROM STUDENTS AND STAFF IN THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. WERE CONFIDENT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE A TRANSPARENT LOOK AT THE SITUATION THAT'S GOING ON, COME BACK WITH A SOLUTION AND LET THE PUBLIC KNOW.

WE ARE URGING TRANSPARENCY IN OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF HOW WE APPLY AND USE PESTICIDES. AND HERBICIDES.

WITH THAT SAID I WILL LET YOU GUYS DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE.

IVILLAGE YOU GOT THAT IMO TODAY. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I WANTED TO ADDRESS STAFF IS ALWAYS A CONCERN IN THE PARENTS ARE ALWAYS UNDERSTAFFED AND WE HAVE LABOR COMMUNICATION AND WE HAD GOOD COLLABORATIVE TALK AND GO TO THE JUNIOR COLLEGES.

ADVERTISING AT PEPPERDINE AS I COULD GET A 17 HOUR JOB.

IF I SPENT THAT MONEY AT PEPPERDINE I'M NOT WORKING FOR $70 AN HOUR. CAN WE DO MORE CREATIVE THINGS, I HAVE AN EMPLOYEE RIGHT NOW THAT IS SINGLED OUT FOR DISCIPLINE THAT HAS A SEVEN MAN CREW AND HE'S ONLY HAD FIVE MEN FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS AND HE WAS TOLD YOU NEED TO DO MORE WORK. THAT IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT NEEDS TO STOP TWO. TARGETING THINGS LIKE THAT, IF YOU REALIZE WE HAVE A STAFFING PROBLEM GO OUT THERE AND FIX THE STAFFING PROBLEM.

I APPRECIATE THAT. AS TRUSTEE SYLVESTER SAID LAST WEEK WE CELEBRATED SCIENCE EDUCATION ELEMENTARY ID AND EDUCATION OUTDOORS AS WE WITNESS THE RIBBON-CUTTING TO OFFICIALLY OPEN THE OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER AT CYPRESS.

THE CENTER WAS IMPRESSIVE, ALTHOUGH LEARNING STATIONS WERE IMPRESSIVE BUT EQUALLY MORE IMPRESSIVE WAS THE BEHAVIOR AND THE ORDER OF THE STUDENTS MARCHING OUT IN THEIR ENTHUSIASM AND SINGING.

I'M GOING TO TALK VERY BRIEFLY ABOUT ONE THING, THAT IS THE DAC MEETING IN TRUE TREMENDOUS

[00:35:02]

THAT IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS. I'LL TRY NOT TO GET EMOTIONAL.

THE THAT GAVE A COMMENT OFF-THE-CUFF THAT SPOKE TO ME ANYWAY. IT WAS ABOUT THE WHY AND WHY DADS ARE SO IMPORTANT, STUDENT INVOLVEMENT PARENT INVOLVEMENT IN TEACHER ADMINISTRATOR DISTRICT INVOLVEMENT WORKING IN CONCERT IS SO IMPORTANT. SHE TALKED ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED AT HER OWN FAMILY. AND HER DAUGHTER CAME TO HER AND SAID MOM I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS HAPPENED.

SHE WENT TO THE SCHOOL AND WORKED ON IT AND THEY WORKED ON IT WITH THE OMITTED TRADERS AND VERY QUICKLY THINGS GOT ADJUSTED BECAUSE EVERYBODY HERE AND ALL OF OUR STAFF LOOKS OUT FOR OUR STUDENTS FIRST AND THEN TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER WHEN NICOLE SAID TO HER DAUGHTER WE DID THIS, LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT THE DAUGHTER SAID THANK YOU MOMMY, WE DID THIS AND SHE SAID NO, YOU DID THIS BECAUSE IT'S THE EMPOWERMENT OF STUDENTS AND THAT IS CLEARLY HER WHY AND DEFINITELY MINE.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP, THAT IS IT FOR ME.

>> THANK YOU TRUSTEE GOLDBERG. TRUSTEE POWELL.

>> THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU FOR THAT, I APPRECIATED THAT AS WELL. HI EVERYBODY AND GLAD TO BE HERE, CONGRATULATIONS TO HER STUDENTS WERE HONORED TONIGHT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT REPORT.

I ALSO WANT TO SAY HAPPY HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH THIS MONTH I HOPE THAT YOUR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS ARE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THIS TIME TO CELEBRATE HISPANIC CULTURE AND HISTORY AND HEROES. I REALLY ENJOYED SEEING SOME OF THE THINGS HAPPENING AT SCHOOLS AND ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE BAND THE LATIN THEME BAND, NEWBURY PARK HIGH SCHOOL HAD IT.

ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS IN OTHER SCHOOLS ARE VERY ENVIOUS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET A SIMILAR BAND AT THEIR SCHOOL.

THAT WAS A FUN CONVERSATION. LOTS OF THINGS GOING ON IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO BUT I LIKE TRUSTEE GOLDBERG WANT TO FOCUS ON ONE EVENT THAT I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND AND THAT WAS A MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT WORKSHOP THAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS IT TOOK PLACE AT CENTURY ACADEMY, THE FIRST ONE IN A WHILE THAT HAS BEEN LIFE. OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF WORKSHOPS VIRTUALLY I ATTENDED QUITE HONESTLY THINKING I WANT TO SUPPORT THE STAFF, I PROBABLY HEARD MOST OF THIS BEFORE IT'S AN OVERVIEW IN THE PROGRAMMING IN SUCH I WILL SAY I WAS RIVETED BY THE PRESENTATION AND I LEARNED A LOT AND I WANTED TO SHARE SOME OF THAT WITH ALL OF YOU.

FIRST OF ALL DOCTOR HEATHER CHAMBERLAIN DIRECTOR MENTAL HEALTH AND SERVICES GIVEN AN OVERVIEW MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMMING AND SHE INCLUDED THE WHY THE GREAT NEEDS OF OUR YOUTH AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE SO NEEDED AND A COUPLE OF THE THINGS THAT SHE SAID STOOD UP PARTICULAR ONE WAS THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING ROBUST MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS SUPPORTS AND IN SCHOOLS WAS WAS COMBATING THE SUFFERING OF HER CHILDREN WE DON'T WANT OUR CHILDREN TO SUFFER WE KNOW OUR KIDS AND TEENS ARE SUFFERING AND WE'VE BEEN WATCHING THE MENTAL HEALTH DECLINE IN THE AGE POPULATION FOR OVER A DECADE THE PANDEMIC ONLY EXACERBATED THAT. ANOTHER THING WAS THE IMPORTANCE OF VIEWING OUR USE MENTAL HEALTH AS A COMMUNITY ISSUE TO ADDRESS.

WE NEED OUR PARENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, WE NEED OUR SCHOOLS ARE PARTNER AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS TO ALL CARE AND CONTRIBUTE TO SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES KIDS. DON'T TOUCH.

WHENEVER SCHOOL COUNSELORS GAVE A GREAT OVERVIEW AND SHE TALKED US THROUGH THE THREE TIERS AND THE LONGEST SEGMENT OF THE EVENING THAT WAS EDUCATIONAL FOR ME IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. AT FIRST I WAS LIKE THIS IS

[00:40:03]

SHE GAVE THIS GREAT PRESENTATION AND IT MADE IT REALLY DIGESTIBLE AND USER-FRIENDLY. SHE WALKED US THROUGH THE NEVER SYSTEM AND HOW IT WORKS, HOW TO IDENTIFY WHERE WERE AT AND WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT. SHE GAVE US SOME TOOLS FOR NOT ONLY HOW TO UNDERSTAND HERSELF AND HOW IT NOT WORKS AND HOW WE CAN HAVE OUR KIDS. AND WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO DO ALL OF THIS WORK BECAUSE IS CONNECTED TO LEARNING AND SIBLEY STATED KIDS CAN'T LEARN WHEN THERE'S A PATHETIC.

SO WE LEARNED A LOT. RIGHT TRUSTEE GOLDBERG.

I'M GIVING YOU ALL THIS DETAIL BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT. WE ARE VERY LIKELY TO BE A DISTRICT THAT IS BOTH THESE ROBUST SYSTEMS AND SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AND WE CONTINUE TO BUILD THEM.

WHETHER PREVENTATIVE OR ADDRESSING A CRISIS SITUATION.

I HOPE THAT ANYBODY ETHIC THAT WANTS TO LEARN MORE WILL.

THIS COULD BE A WEBSITE COMING SOON GOL THAT IS DEDICATED TO TE MENTAL AND HEALTH PROGRAMS AND I HOPE YOU WILL HELP SUPPORT THESE PROGRAMS AND ADVOCATE FOR THESE PROGRAMS IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND YOU WILL BE A PARTNER AND ATTEND THE AMAZING WORKSHOPS AND PRESENTATIONS THAT ARE GOING ON AND ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENTS TO TAKE A VINTAGE OF THE AMAZING RESOURCES.

[A. Student Services - Approval of Revised Multilingual Learner Master Plan]

WELCOME DOCTOR. >> AS A DOCTOR MAKES HIS WAY UP TO THE PODIUM AND WHEN I THINK THE EFFORT OF HIM AND HIS TEAM WILL HAVE A ROBUST DOCUMENT INTERCHANGE IN OUR DISTRICT OVER THE YEARS. I REMEMBER THE FIRST I GOT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE SO I REMEMBER THE FIRST EL MASTER PLAN BACK IN 2013 AND 14 SCHOOL YEAR WHEN THE PROCESS STARTED AND IT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD THE NEXT YEAR.

THIS DOCUMENT LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

AND I APPRECIATE HIS EFFORTS AND HIS TEAM IN DOING SO.

I WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN. >> WILL JUST GIVE IT A SECOND OR

WAITING FOR THE PRESENTATION. >> THERE WE GO.

THANK YOU DOCTOR. GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT GILL, BOARD MEMBERS. MR. MCLAUGHLIN AND CABINET THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS EVENING WITH OUR MASTER PLAN.

IT'S BEEN QUITE AN EXPERIENCE WE STARTED AND WERE EXCITED TO BE

[00:55:02]

>> WERE TRYING TO FOLLOW THE MOUSE AROUND.

IT IS AGAIN. >> ALSO IN THE FRONT COVER IS THE FIRST EL I T-SHIRT SO WE WANTED WAS A PICTURE THAT WE HAD UNDER HER COMMITMENT TO THE DLA PROGRAM AND WE FELT THAT WAS GREAT TO HONOR HER IN THE COVER OF THE MASTER PLAN.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR, NEXT LINE. THIS WILL BE TO HONOR ALL THE TEAM MEMBERS WERE PART OF IT THERE WERE 30 MEMBERS AND YOU WILL SEE THE LIST COMING UP. INSTEAD OF TALKING OF EVERY SECTION I WILL HIGHLIGHT TWO OR THREE THINGS FROM EVERY SECTION.

AFTER THAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS AND BEFORE WE CONTINUE WHY DON'T YOU POINT TO THE QUOTE ABOUT THE ASSET-BASED AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU A QUICK SECOND TO READ THE QUOTE FROM THE TEACHER. IT WAS PART OF ONE OF THE

DOCUMENTS FOR EQUAL LEARNERS. >> KEEPING THE ASSET BASE THAT WAS DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT APPROACH THAT WE USED TO SEE FOREIGN LANGUAGE LIKE A DEFICIT THAN AN ASSET AND IN THIS CASE MOVING FORWARD WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT OUR STUDENTS BRING TO OUR DISTRICT INCLUDING THE LANGUAGE AND THEIR EXPERIENCES SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SPOTLIGHT AND FROM THE DISTRICT AND THE TEACHERS THINK THIS WAY OF OUR STUDENTS.

NEXT FIVE. AND AGAIN, THE MASTER PLAN WAS THE BRADY BUNCH AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THE MEMBERS PART OF THE ORIGINAL COMMITTEE. WHY DON'T YOU FOCUS ON THE FORMS OF THIS PLAN AND IS A PLAN THAT WILL BE UPDATED AND IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE DONE AND WE WILL REVISIT FOUR OR FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. WERE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO UPDATE OR PLAN AND INCLUDE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. NEXT LINE.

WE HAD THREE HOUR SESSIONS AND THERE WERE 10 TOTAL AND WE HAD A LOT OF TOPICS THAT YOU CAN SEE IN FRONT OF YOU.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE BEFORE WE STARTED WORKING ON THE PLAN THAT WE HAD KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CURRENT YIELD RESEARCH FROM THE NATION SO WITH THAT WE HAD THEM FACILITATE THE PROCESS AND IS IMPORTANT THAT WE NOT ONLY FOCUS ON CBU THE OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE AND NATION WHEN IT COMES TO BRINGING INFORMATION INTO THE PLAN. SO WE HAD 17 MEMBERS PART OF THIS COMMITTEE AND ONCE WE WERE DONE WITH THE TRAINING AND HAVING THIS CONVERSATION OF GETTING INPUT WE WENT AHEAD AND CREATED A WRITING COMMITTEE WHICH IS THE NEXT SLIDE.

I'M SKIPPING AHEAD. THE NEXT LINE SHOULD BE ALL THE MEMBERS. THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL COMMITTEE AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAD REPRESENTATION FROM THE SCHOOL AND ALSO DIFFERENT POSITIONS THROUGHOUT AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE CAPTURE AS MUCH AS WE COULD FROM THE DIFFERENT AREAS WHICH IS THE DISTRICT LED PLAN AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCLUDE A LOT OF MEMBERS. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT OUR TWO TEACHERS PART OF THE COMMITTEE IN ADDITION TO BEING PART OF THE COMMITTEE THE PLANS TO BE ABLE TO BE PART OF THIS COMMITTEE SO I APPRECIATE THE DEDICATION AND REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH TIME IN ADDITION ONCE WE WERE DONE WE WENT AHEAD AND STARTED THE WRITING PROCESS, THE SIX OF US IN THE SPECIALTY WE HAD A T-SHIRT AND WE HAD THE STUDENTS IN ELEMENTARY TEACHER IN A HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELOR IN THE MULTILINGUAL SPECIALIST PART OF HER DEPARTMENT BUT HER POSITION TITLE CHANGED AND WE APPRECIATE THE EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE THAT SHE HAD TO START BUILDING THE

[01:00:01]

WE ASKED OTHER INDIVIDUALS TO ADD TO OR PLAN WE HAD OUR GATE TO IDENTIFY WHO WERE ENGLISH LEARNERS AND WHO QUALIFIED FOR GRADES AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD IT IN A SECTION THERE AND WE ALSO HAD THE SPECIALIST WHO BROUGHT HER EXPERTISE AS WELL MS. GOLD BROUGHT IN THE FINAL TOUCHES TO THE PLAN AND REALLY MADE A DOCUMENT THAT ANYONE THAT WANTS TO READ JUST LOOK AT THE FRONT PAGE AND WE ALSO HAD HER COUNSELORS AND TEACHERS AND GAVE US INPUT ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL AND MS. MOORE WAS HER EDITOR AND GAVE US A LOT INPUT ON THE GRAMMAR RULES TO MAKE SURE THE PLAN READ WELL. AFTER THAT OUR LAST GROUPER TRANSLATING TEAM MATCHES TRANSLATED THE DOCUMENT BUT ALSO CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF THE PLAN WHICH IS SOMETHING YOUR HEART TO DO AND TRANSLATED THE DOCUMENT AND REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE STAFF MEMBERS WHO ASSISTED IN THAT REGARD SO IN TOTAL WE HAVE 30 NUMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE OF DIFFERENT LEVELS AND IT TOOK AN ENTIRE TEAM TO BUILD THIS PLAN AND I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. WITHOUT THEIR SUPPORT I WOULD NOT BE HERE SO I WANT TO HONOR THE WORK THAT THEY DID TO GET TO THIS POINT. NOW WE GOING SECTION BY SECTION I'M NOT GOOD TO CHECK ALL THE DIFFERENT AREAS BUT ALL FOCUS ON ONE OR TWO SECTION ONE IDENTIFICATION HOME LANGUAGE SURVEY WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENT IN THE ONE WHO HIGHLIGHTED HERE ANYTIME A FAMILY ENTERS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM THEY HAVE TO FLOUT THE HOME LANGUAGE SURVEY BASED ON THE RESULTS WE ASSESS STUDENTS WITH THE FIRST THREE QUESTIONS IN THE LANGUAGE USED AT HOME IN THE COMMUNITY AND WHO SPEAKS DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SO WE DO SEE AN ANSWER THE PHONE ENGLISH IF IT'S SPANISH OR RUSSIAN THAN THE INITIAL L PACK WHICH IS AN ASSESSMENT THAT DETERMINES THE LANGUAGE LEVEL OF THE STUDENT.

ONCE WE ADMINISTER THE L PACK IT WILL TELL US TWO THINGS DURING ENGLISH LEARNER FOR THE HAVE ENOUGH ENGLISH TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THE SCHOOL WITH THE LANGUAGE SUPPORT.

AGAIN THE HOME LANGUAGE SURVEY IS AN ESSENTIAL DOCUMENT AND IT GIVES US A LOT OF INFORMATION AND THE OTHER THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PROGRAM PLACEMENT THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO CLEAR UP WHEN IT COMES ENGLISH LEARNERS AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE INFORMATION IN THE DOCUMENT SO IT'S NOT A DOCUMENT I KEEP IN MY OFFICE FOR ME TO SHARE WITH SPECIFIC PEOPLE AND MAKE SURE THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE NOT ONLY THE ADMINISTRATION BUT ALSO PARENTS.

>> HAVE A QUESTION IF YOU COULD GO BACK INSIDE.

FOR REINFORCEMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITY STUDENT BECOMES AN ENGLISH LEARNER BASED ON THE HOME SURVEY.

IF THEY SAY A LANGUAGE MOST OFTEN SPOKEN AT HOME OTHER THAN ENGLISH THAT IS OTHER CHILD WILL MOVE INTO THE TESTING PHASE, IS

THAT CORRECT. >> ONCE WE HAVE INFORMATION WE ASSESS THE STUDENT OF THE INITIAL L PACK IN THE SAY THE STUDENT NEEDS SUPPORT IN ENGLISH OR WILL KNOW IF THERE PROFICIENT

TO CONTINUE WITH SUPPORT. >> SOMETIMES PARENTS A COUPLE YEARS DOWN THE LINE WILL ASK HOW MY CHILD BECAME AN ENGLISH LEARNER OR THE ENGLISH CATEGORY AND IT ALWAYS GOES BACK TO THE INITIAL HOME LANGUAGE SURVEY THAT FLAUNTS OR IDENTIFIES HIM AS AN ENGLISH LEARNER AND THAT'S HOW THEY LOOK INTO THE PROCESS.

>> WE ADD A PARAGRAPH ABOUT OUR MISTAKES PARENTS REALIZE I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY THAT OR WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE SO THEY'RE ABLE TO RETRACT THE SURVEY BEFORE WE ASSESS THE STUDENT AND ONCE WE ASSESS THEM THEN IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY OF OPTING OUT OF THE SERVICES THAT'S WHY WE GIVE THAT WINDOW FOR THE HOME

LANGUAGE SURVEY. >> SECTION TWO INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS IN THE MAIN PROGRAMS WE PROVIDE THE STRUCTURE ENGLISH ON WORD AND IS WHERE ALL STUDENTS ARE PLACED WHEN THEY BECOME AN

[01:05:04]

OUR HIGH SCHOOL. >> JUST TO GO BACK ANOTHER SLIDE AND EMPHASIZE THE ASSET-BASED APPROACH TO OUR NEWCOMER ACADEMY STUDENT THEY KNOW THEIR HOME LANGUAGE AND SPEAK FLUENTLY SO IN THE UNITED STATES BY LEARNING THE SECOND LEG WHICH SO OFTEN WE RUN THE TITLE AND THE EDUCATION THAT THEY ARE IN ENGLISH LEARNER AND THEY MAY BE BEHIND ACADEMICALLY NOT THINKING THROUGH LEARNING THE SECOND-LANGUAGE BUT I LIKE THE EMPHASIS THOUGHT PROCESS IN THIS AND YOU EMPHASIZING THAT THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION. SO OFTEN IT'S EASY FOR A LABEL TO GET IN THERE BUT WE FORGET ON A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE STUDENTS WILL BE MULTILINGUAL. THAT IS KEY, THANK YOU.

>> TALK ABOUT MONITORING CLASSIFICATION THE COUPLE THINGS I WANT TO SPOTLIGHT AND ALL ENGLISH LEARNERS AROUND FEBRUARY TO SEE HOW THEY'RE DOING IN THE ENGLISH.

EVERY YEAR THEY GROW ONE LEVEL NEAR 40 HOURS IN THE L PACK AND THAT IS A HUGE UNDERTAKING AND WE ASSESS ABOUT 2000 STUDENTS AND SOME OF THE SECTIONS ARE ONE-ON-ONE IT'S LIKE SPEAKING IN THERE ABLE TO SPEAK WELL TO THE ASSESSORS THAT WAY THEY CAN GRADE THIS APPROPRIATE. WITH THIS THAT WILL GIVE US INFORMATION AND TO CLASSIFY STUDENTS THE STUDENT MUST HAVE A OPEC LEVEL FOR AS A TOTAL SCORE TO BE CLASSIFIED THERE ARE OTHER CRITERIA THAT WE NEED TO FOLLOW TO MAKE SURE EVERY CLASS FOR HIS STUDENT HE DISPATCHED. HER TEACHERS ALLOW STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM TO MAKE SURE NOT ONLY ARE THEY ABLE TO READ AND WRITE THE SPEAK FLUENTLY AND TO LISTEN AS WELL SO THERE'S DIFFERENT CRITERIA TO GET TO THE L PACK.

ONE THING I WANTED TO ADD IN THE BOARD MEMBERS HOW DIFFICULT IS THE L PACK IS IN LINE WITH THE STANDARDS WE USED TO HAVE AN ASSESSMENT BEFORE THE L PACK I WOULD SAY IT WAS EASIER TO SCORE WITH THE L PACK TO SCORE A LEVEL FOUR WE REALLY HAVE TO SHOW MASTERY OF THE LANGUAGE SO IT'S NOT AN EASY TEST TO PASS OR DO

WELL ON. >> THAT'S HOW IT WAS THAT CALIFORNIA ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT TEST DID NOT USE

ACRONYMS ALL THE TIME. >> THAT'S TRUE.

[01:10:01]

>> THE LAST THING IS ELEVATION THIS PROGRAMS ALLOWS TO MONITOR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND IT'S HARD TO SAY LET'S SEE HOW THE STUDENT IS DOING AND WHAT ELEVATION DOES IT ALLOWS US TO GATHER THE DATA IN GRADES AND GIVE US INFORMATION TO MONITOR STUDENTS AND BY LAW WE ARE TO MONITOR THE ENGLISH LEARNERS EVEN IF THEY RECLASSIFIED WE HAVE TO MONITOR FOR FOUR YEARS AND THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE HAD HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE WERE RECLASSIFYING AND BE SUCCESSFUL AFTERWARDS SO WE HAD A LOW PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING AFTER THE CLASSIFIED LIKE 6% HUNDRED% THAT WOULD RECLASSIFY EVERY YEAR EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SMALL NUMBER WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE WERE SUPPORTING BETWEEN THE GAPS. NEXT SECTION.

>> BACK TO MY 15 YEARS OF EDUCATION I REALLY ENJOYED THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT BUT I WILL SAY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HER ENGLISH LEARNERS WHO RECLASSIFY YOU WILL SEE THEY OUTPERFORM HER ENGLISH LEARNERS WHEN IT COMES TO STATE ASSESSMENTS WHICH IS KEY BECAUSE THEY RECLASSIFIED IN A NOTE TO LANGUAGE AND TEST SUCCESSFULLY IN THE STATE EXAMS BUT DO WELL ALSO IN CLASS AND THOSE ARE PART OF THE OTHER CRITERIA INTO BEING RECLASSIFIED. PEOPLE WONDER WHY CHILD IS THE ENGLISH LEARNER AND WE SEE ENGLISH LEARNER TEST SCORES BUT THEY'RE NOT PASSING THE L PACK AND THOSE OF THE CRITERIA THE STUDENTS NEED TO EXCEL TO MOVE OUT IN THE ENGLISH LEARNER LABEL INTO BEING RECLASSIFIED. WE SEE THEM DOING LONG, STRONG

ACADEMICALLY. >> JUST TO CLARIFY SRI IS A BASIC ASSESSMENT THAT WILL SHOW US THE READING LEVEL THERE ABLE TO DO WELL IN THE COMMON ASSESSMENT AND THE THIRD ONE IS TEACHER RECOMMENDATION THEY HAVE TO SAY THE STUDENT IS READY OR NO I DON'T THINK THE STUDENT IS READY TO GO TO MAINSTREAM ENGLISH THEN WE HOLD BACK IN THE PARENT APPROVAL THEY HAVE TO BE IN AGREEMENT WE HAD SITUATION WHERE THE STUDENT DOES WELL ON THE COMMON ASSESSMENT AND HAS TEACHER RECOMMENDATION WHERE PARENTS DON'T AGREE AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE A CONVERSATION WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECLASSIFY ESPECIALLY THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. ONE MORE THING ON THE DUAL LANGUAGE AND MERGER TO RECLASSIFY EARLIER IN OUTPERFORM THE ENGLISH ONLY APPEARS AS A WHOLE IS PIECE OF THE PROCESS.

THE NEXT SECTION THIS IS THE SECTION WITH DIVERSE LEARNING NEEDS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SPOTLIGHT STUDENT TO QUALIFY IN REGARDS TO IEP WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THIS IN PLACE FOR STUDENTS IN WHATEVER REASON ABLE TO TAKE THE L PACK THIS IS AN ALTERNATE ASSESSMENT TO ASSESS THEIR ENGLISH SKILLS AND IS ONLY FOR SPECIFIC STUDENTS WITH IEP'S AND THEY QUALIFY THEN THEY CAN RECLASSIFY AS WELL AND WITHOUT THE ALTERNATIVE IT WAS DIFFICULT WITH THE STUDENT WITH AN IEP TO BE CLASSIFIED.

WE HAVE A GENERAL PROCESS TO RECLASSIFY WITH IEP'S BUT AGAIN IF THEY'RE HAVING CHALLENGES WE CAN LOOK AT OTHER ASSESSMENTS IN THE STUDENT CAN RECLASSIFY IF THEY HAVE AN IP.

WE TALK ABOUT STAFFING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND I WANT TO FOCUS ON STAFF DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AND THE MAIN FOCUS WILL BE INTEGRATED AND JUST TO CLARIFY EVERY ENGLISH LEARNER MUST HAVE 30 MINUTES OF ENGLISH INSTRUCTION WHEN THEIR ENGLISH LEARNER, THAT IS 30 MINUTES EVERYDAY INTRICATELY WHEN WE PROVIDE STRATEGIES LIKE BATH WITH A MATH

[01:15:01]

CLASSROOM. >> SECTION SIX APPROVAL ADOPTION SO THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL IS HER ELD PROGRAM AND AS PART OF THE LANGUAGE ARTS PROGRAM SO INSTEAD OF HAVING A SEPARATE CURRICULUM IT INTEGRATES LANGUAGE ARTS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS EASIER FOR THE ELEMENTARY TEACHERS BECAUSE OF FOCUSING ON ONE CURRICULUM AND BEFORE WE USE CAROUSEL AND AGAIN, WITH THE NEW ADOPTION WONDERS IS ADDRESSING BOTH.

FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL WE USE EYELID AND THE FOCUS IS TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE SECONDARY LEVEL OF MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL AND BY THAT TIME OUR STUDENTS ARE LONG-TERM ENGLISH LEARNERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE SYSTEM SINCE CAN GARDEN AND HAVE NOT RECLASSIFIED THIS WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF THE TEACHER ENSURES THE GETTING PRACTICE IN READING AND WRITING IN THE STUDENTS IT TEND TO STRUGGLE THE MOST IN THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL AND THE EXPECTATION AS I MENTIONED OUR STUDENTS WILL GROW ONE LEVEL AND THAT'S AN INDICATOR TO ENSURE THE PROGRAMS AT THE SITE LEVEL TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE BEING AFFECTED.

THE NEXT SECTION IS FAMILY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND TO MAKE SURE WERE NOT JUST HONORING OUR FAMILIES BUT WORKING WITH THEM TO CONTINUE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS HOW CAN WE ENGAGE HER FAMILIES AT OUR SCHOOL SITES ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUES THE ENGLISH LEARNER COMMITTEE THIS COMMITTEE HAS TO BE FROM A SCHOOL WITH 21 OR MORE ENGLISH LEARNERS SO ALL BUT TWO WITH A SMALL NUMBER OF APPEALS THEY MEET TO TALK NOT JUST ABOUT ATTENDANCE BUT WHAT KIND OF PROGRAMS THE ENGLISH LEARNERS HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTS TO ENGAGE WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND STAFF AND SEE WHAT WAYS THEY CAN SUPPORT THE STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM WE HAVE DISTRICT ENGLISH LEARNER MEETING TWO TIMES A YEAR THE FOCUS IS NOT JUST A SPORT BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALLOW THE PARENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MASTER PLAN WHICH WOULD APPEAR TO BE PART OF THE COMMITTEE AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES AND LEARN

MORE ABOUT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. >> REALLY QUICK T THE TO SCHOOLS THAT DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER DO WE INVITE THE ENGLISH LEARNERS TO ATTEND A NEIGHBORING SCHOOL MEETING OR HAVE WE DONE IN THE PAST IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CONSIDER.

>> I'VE TAKEN NOTE OF THAT AGAIN SPEAKING I'M NOT SURE THE PRINCIPLES HAVE MADE THAT BEFORE WE HAVE THE THOUSAND OAKS CLUSTER AND ONE HIGH SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SEVERAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THERE INVITED TO THE CLASSROOM MEETINGS BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY DON'T HAVE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE MEETINGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE TO ATTEND I'LL HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT THAT IS NOT THE CASE THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT

OPPORTUNITY. >> I WOULD SEE TO SCHOOL SITES WITH 1814 STUDENTS AND SAY WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO CREATE A COMMITTEE I THINK THAT'S THE OFFER PARTICIPATING IN A NEIGHBORING SCHOOL I THINK THEY NEED TO BE INVITED SUMMER.

>> THANK YOU I WILL MAKE NOTE OF THAT SECTION A IS ACCOUNTABILITY SO WE GET THE TITLE III FUNDING FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS AND THIS IS

[01:20:03]

WITH THAT THEY SHOULD BE YOUR LAST SLIDE, THE NEXT STEP WE WANT TO BRING YOU THE PLAN IN 16 APPROVAL HAVE A ROLE IN FLOTATION PLAN BUT WE WANTED TO BE ON THE SHELF TO MAKE IT A DOCUMENT WE CAN REFERENCE FOR STAFF AND FAMILY SO THEY CAN HAVE ACCESS TO IT. IT'S 120 PAGES IN THE BULK OF IT IS ABOUT 50 PAGES AND I READ IT 20 TIMES BUT THE REST OF IT IS RESOURCES FOR THE PLAN IS NOT TOO LONG BUT NOT TOO SHORT IT'S A GOOD NUMBER OF PAGES AND WITH THAT I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S TIME AND I'M READY FOR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

>> I WANT TO ADD YOU WENT TO FEDERAL PROGRAM MONITORING WHICH OBVIOUSLY THE STATE LOOKING HOW WE SPEND DOLLARS AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY FEEL THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOESN'T HOW TO SPEND MONEY EFFECTIVELY AND WE CONTINUE TO GO THROUGHOUT AFTER AUDIT AFTER AUDIT WITH AN ALTERNATIVE OUTSIDE AUDITORS COMING IN THAT WE REQUEST AND WE CAN'T BE AUDITED ANYMORE THAN WE ALREADY ARE.

THE WORK GOES INTO ONE NOT ONLY SPENDING THE DOLLARS APPROPRIATELY BUT WE HAVE OUTSIDE EYES MAKING SURE DOLLARS ARE GOING WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GO IN THERE NOT BEEN SPENT FOR BRISTLY OR GOING OTHER PLACES.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HEAR THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT NUMEROUS OUTSIDE AUDITS TO TAKE PLACE AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE VERY FEW FINDINGS THROUGH THE AUDITS.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU TO THE 30 EXPERTS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO WRITING THE MASTER PLAN, I AGREE IT'S A GREAT READ AND I'M GOING TO RETURN OVER AND OVER AGAIN. DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS

FROM BOARD MEMBERS. >> GO-AHEAD.

>> I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO THANK ALL OF YOUR TEAMS FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION, AND SHOWS OUR DISTRICT DEDICATION TO DI AND MATCHES THE BULK OF THE GENERAL STUDENTS BUT EACH ONE IS IMPORTANT AND WE HONOR THEIR NEEDS. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITTEE

AND FOR YOUR REPORT. >> I WANT TO MENTION I APPRECIATE THE PEERS COMMITTEE AND I WANT TO APPRECIATE THEIR

WORK FOR THE NEW PLAN. >> IT WAS DONE ON MICROSOFT

WORKS I THINK. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU TO YOUR TEAM.

A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO THIS AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT READ AND I READ IT AND I WAS RIVETED BY IT -- A LOT OF QUESTIONS SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSES.

IT'S A COMPLEX ISSUE WE THINK ABOUT THE BASIC IDEA OF TRYING TO LEARN CONTENT AT THE SAME TIME LEARNING ANOTHER LANGUAGE IT IS MIND BLOWING FOR THESE KIDS AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TYPOLOGIES IN ALL THE DIFFERENT KINDS THERE ARE SIX GROUPS AND SO MUCH VARIATION WITHIN EACH OF THE GROUPS AND ARE CLASSIFIED AND FEELS LIKE A BIG MONUMENTAL THING THAT WERE TRYING TO DO SO THIS PLAN REALLY HELPS LAY THAT OUT AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYBODY TO READ IT IF YOU'RE FASCINATED WITH THIS TOPIC LIKE

[01:25:05]

IT LOOKS DIFFERENT I WAS CURIOUS HOW IMPLEMENTATION AND WHO NEEDS TO READ THIS IS MY QUESTION FOR YOU.

>> IMPLEMENTATION THE PLANS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE IN THE FIRST ONE WE WILL BE CONDUCTING AT THE SCHOOL SITES AND ALLOW US TO BRING THE PLAN FRONT AND CENTER WHERE THIS WILL BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE MEETING BEING COMPLIANT SO A LOT OF THE ACTIONS THROUGH THESE MEETINGS WILL ALLOW US TO ENSURE INFORMATION THAT IS IN THE PLAN IS NOT JUST ACCESSIBLE TO THE MINISTRY TEAM BUT ALSO ABLE TO UTILIZE AND EXPAND RESOURCES OF THE SITE FOR INSTANCE WHEN THE BIG FOCUS WILL BE INTEGRATING AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE TO DISTRICT AND IDENTIFY SPECIFIC STRATEGIES AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THESE ARE GOOD TEACHING STRATEGIES. WILL BE TAKEN THAT AND WE ALSO HAVE A GROUP OF TEACHERS I JUST MET WITH THEM EARLIER TODAY AND I SAID MAKE SURE YOU SUBMIT TODAY'S BOARD PRESENTATION WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THERE'S ONE TEACHER PER SIDE TO THE TEACHER REPRESENTATIVE WHO SPEAKS TO THE STAFF AND WE TALKED ABOUT DIFFERENT STRATEGIES AND THAT WILL BE A GROUP WORKING WITH BRINGING THE PLAN TO THEM SO THEY ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR. EDUCATORS AND FACILITATORS AND PART OF HER DEPARTMENT WILL BE HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING ACCESS GETTING TO WORK WITH THE PLAN EVERY SCHOOL SITE IS REALLY HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH PRINCIPALS TO SEE HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE SOME BECOME A BOOKWORM PLAN AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD ALL EMPHASIZED WITH THE TRAINING AND I THINK SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THE TEACHERS AS VITAL HAVE TO GET THE TRAINING AND WHY ARE THERE OTHER TRAININGS AND WITHIN THE TWO AREAS I BELIEVE THE PLAN WORKING THROUGH THE TRAINING IT WILL NOT BE ON THE STRATEGIES BUT ON THE CONTENT OF THE PLAN TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE ABLE TO FUSE THOSE TOGETHER LAST YEAR DOCTOR AND I WORKED ON TITLE I ON HOW TO TEACH WONDERS SEALED IN THAT COMPANY. ONE OF THE THINGS I MENTIONED WAS A LETTER AND IT MUST TAKE PLACE WERE WE HAVE ENGLISH LEARNERS REALLY MAKING SURE AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE TRAINING WE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY AS WE TRAINED STAFF WE HAVE EVERYBODY TRAIN WERE ALSO ENSURING THE PLAN AND WE WILL NOT READ THE PLAN AND LOST FIVE HOURS WE TAKE CARE OF IT BUT FOCUS ON THE MORE IMPORTANT AREAS FOR INSTANCE ANOTHER ISSUE IS A MERGER WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROGRAM SO SOME OF IT WILL BE PR AND MAKING SURE WE CAN ADDRESS BY MORE OF OUR DLI PROGRAM. THE PLAN ITSELF WE WILL TAKE DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO MAKE SURE SECTION A IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW REAGAN AWARENESS THROUGH MEETINGS AND TRAINING AND WILL ALLOW US TO USE INFORMATION DISTRICT WIDE.

>> I ALSO WANTED TO ADD ONE OF THE OUTCOMES WHEN WE DO OUR

[01:30:08]

STARTING WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP CERTAIN THINGS MOVING FORWARD BUT HONE IN ON EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING TO HELP THE STUDENTS REACH THE LEVEL AND CLOSE THE GAPS.

WERE EXCITED TO IMPLEMENT IN FIRST SEMESTER WILL HAPPEN TOWARDS THE END OF OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER BUT THE ADD-ON TO WHAT THE SYSTEM APPROACH IS OUR EXPECTED OUTCOME.

>> I WANT TO EXPRESS IMMENSE GRATITUDE FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM I THINK THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM AND I KNOW DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN MENTIONED EARLIER THE EMPHASIS IS REALLY INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT I KNOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN ELD COURSES AND IS NOT TREATED LIKE THE LANGUAGE CLASS OR FRENCH OR HONORS OR WHATEVER CLASS THAT MAYBE THOSE STUDENTS ARE TAKING ON ANOTHER LANGUAGE TO LIVE IN AMERICA AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THAT IS EMPHASIZED. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO CREATE THIS IN THE MINDSET OF EQUITY FOR THE STUDENTS ON CAMPUS AND ALLOWING THEM TO FEEL CONFIDENT IN CONFIRMING THE ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE IS VERY MUCH AN ASSET.

I DID HAVE A QUESTION. I WAS LOOKING TO THE MASTER PLAN AND ON PAGE 21 IT TALKS ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL IF THEY SCORE LEVEL THREE THEY COULD BE PLACED IN A MAINSTREAM CLASS HOW DOES THAT WORK WITH THE MONITORING AND REACHING LEVEL FOR WHAT THEY BE TAKEN OUT AND TESTED ADDITIONALLY OR HOW DOES

THAT WORK. >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ALLOW OUR LEARNERS TO HAVE AS MUCH OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE AND WHAT WE FOUND PRACTICES THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGHOUT THE STATE, WE HAVE A STUDENT WHO HAS LEVEL THREE THAT IS GETTING CLOSE TO RECLASSIFYING INSTEAD OF LEADING INTO LEAVING THE STUDENT WE PUT THEM A REGULAR MAINSTREAM ENGLISH WHICH WILL ALLOW THE STUDENT IN ENGLISH ONLY ROLE MODELS IN THE CLASS AND THE STUDENT WILL ENGAGE SPEAKING AND READING AND WRITING TO A POINT THAT THERE'S SO CLOSE TO THE FINISH LINE IT'LL BE THE LAST PUMP AND PUTTING THEM IN THE CLOSET WITH THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND RECLASSIFYING.

IT'S REALLY GIVING STUDENTS WERE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH OTHER STUDENTS IN PRACTICE ENGLISH. THE MONITORING PIECE ELEVATION CONTINUES TO MONITOR EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT IN THE LED CLASS AND ELEVATION WILL LET GO OF THE STUDENT TO RECLASSIFY THE STUDENT. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH ANNUAL MEETINGS WITH ALL ENGLISH LEARNERS AND WE DON'T MEET WITH THEM PERSONALLY WE MEET WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND THE COUNSELORS AND TEACHERS IN CHARGE WE SAY WE HAVE A STUDENT WHO IS ALL PACKED THREE AND HAS TO BE IN THIS CLASS AND THE GOAL NEXT YEAR WE WILL HAVE ALL PACKED FOR HIS RECLASSIFY TO READY TO MOVE ON.

IN ADDITION TO THIS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE STUDENT HAS OPPORTUNITIES IF A STUDENT WITH AN ELD AT THE MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOL CANNOT TAKE ANY ELECTIVE SO BY ALLOWING THE STUDENT TO BE IN THE REGULAR CLASSROOM AND THE STUDENT WILL HAVE AN OPTION TO TAKE ANOTHER ELECTIVE CLASS WHICH I KNOW A LOT OF ENGLISH LEARNERS THEY GET DISAPPOINTED WITH NEGATIVE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND BY THE WAY IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT PART OF YOUR SCHEDULE AND AN OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO HAVE AN ELECTIVE IN MAKING SURE THE TEACHERS WILL BE GETTING THE INSTRUCTION AS WELL BECAUSE ARE STILL CONSIDERED AN ENGLISH LEARNER.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, ONE FOLLOW-UP TO THAT IS A GENERAL QUESTION ARE THE ELD COURSES FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL

[01:35:03]

>> ELD ONE IS A GOOD SITUATION AND WHEN THEY COME FROM THE EYES CAN'T TAKE ELD A NEWCOMER WILL TAKE ELD ONE DESIGNATED AND INTEGRATED EVEN THOUGH THERE'S 21 IS CONSIDERED AN ENGLISH CLASS THEY CAN ATTEST TO THAT BUT THAT YIELDING TO AND ELD THREE ARE CONSIDERED ELECTIVE CLASSES SO THEY FOUND THE ELECTIVE A 3G SO THE FIRST YEAR THE NEWCOMER WILL TAKE ELD ONE AND THE FOLLOWING YEAR THEY WILL TAKE ELD TO AN IRREGULAR ENGLISH CLASS THAT WILL BE THE A 3G CLASS AND ELD ONE INTO WON'T BE ENGLISH BUT CONSIDERED AN ELECTIVE.

>> TICKET FOR CLARIFYING THAT. >> YOU ARE WELCOME.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH DOCTOR NATCHEZ FOR THE PRESENTATION BUT THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR AN AMAZINGLY COMPREHENSIVE REPORT.

I DON'T HAVE THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE THAT DOCTOR MACLACHLAN HAS SO I GUESS THIS WAS A REVISION ON THE AGENDA SO I PULLED OUT THE 2019 PLAN AND THIS IS NOT A REVISION IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIVING BREATHING DOCUMENT AND HECKUVA LOT MORE WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF MAN HOURS THAT WENT INTO THIS, PERSONAL HOURS I SHOULD SAY A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS CAN YOU CLARIFY THE DEFINITION OF A LONG-TERM LEARNER AND I THINK I READ SOMETHING THAT IS CHANGES

IN THE STATE. >> IT IS A STUDENT THAT IS STARTING KINDERGARTEN AND ONCE THEY HAD THE SIX YEAR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, BEFORE THEY COME A LEARNER, THE STATE AS CRITERIA FOR THAT IN THE IDEA WILL BE EVERY YEAR STUDENT HAS TO GO ONE LEVEL AND ONE YEAR IN THE EXPECTATION MY IDEAL WORLD EVERY STUDENT STARTING KINDERGARTEN SHOULD RECLASSIFY BY THE TIME THEY LEAVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. ONCE A HIT MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE STUDENT HAS BEEN HERE SINCE KINDERGARTEN THE STUDENT BECOMES A LONG-TERM LEARNER SIX YEARS OR MORE.

AT THAT POINT WHAT HAPPENS THE STUDENT BASED ON STUDIES AND RESEARCH THE STUDENT IS LESS LIKELY TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND ENGAGE BECAUSE YOU CAN IMAGINE I LEARN ENGLISH EVERY YEAR AND I'M NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE PROGRAM WHEN WE DOING WRONG THAT IS MORE INTERVENTIONS AND WE CAN PROVIDE AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL AND WILL BE WITH THE STUDENTS BECOMING

LONG-TERM ENGLISH LEARNERS. >> DO WE FIND A CORRELATION OF STUDENT TO ENTER SYSTEMATIC YOUNGER AGE TO THEY TEND TO PROGRESS IN GENERAL FASTER THAN STUDENTS WHO MIGHT ENTER AND START MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL OR STUDENT DEPENDED.

>> I CAME FROM MEXICO AND WENT TO SANTA ANA AND CAME BACK WHEN I WAS IN SEVENTH GRADE. TYPICALLY STUDENT WHO STARTS IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL AND HAS A STRONG FIRST LANGUAGE THAT WOULD BE THE STUDENT THAT TYPICALLY TENDS TO ACCELERATE AND TENDS TO RECLASSIFY MUCH FASTER IF THEY HAVE A STRONG LANGUAGE. A STUDENT ENTERING KINDERGARTEN DEPENDING HOW THE LANGUAGES THEN THAT IS A FACTOR THAT WE SEE IF THE STUDENT HAS A STRONG LANGUAGE WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE I WOULD SAY AVERAGE WOULD BE FOR FIVE YEARS THAT THE STUDENT WILL GRADUATE WE KNOW 6 - 8 YEARS MAYBE LESS TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE SO FOR YOUNGER THEY TEND TO GRASP IT QUICKER IN FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE WHAT WILL RECLASSIFY.

>> ONE MORE QUESTION IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE REPORT ABOUT THE STUDENTS IN HIS FAMILIES OPT THEM OUT OF THE ENGLISH LEARNER SERVICES. IS THIS A HIGH NUMBER OF STUDENTS AND WHAT ARE THE REASONS PARENTS MIGHT OPT A STUDENT OUT AND THOSE OPTED OUT CAN WE SEPARATELY OR MONITOR THE PERFORMANCE AND SEE HOW THEY DO OVER TIME AND IF THEY DO

[01:40:04]

>> WITH A VERY FEW NUMBER OF FAMILIES WHO WILL OPT OUT THE MAIN REASON THEY OPT OUT AND AFRAID BY OPTING OUT FOR HAVING THE STUDENT STAY THE STUDENT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LEARN ENGLISH AS FAST AS POSSIBLE I WOULD SAY IT'S A MYTH THE STUDENT RECEIVING WILL BE ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL LIKE ANY OTHER STUDENT I BELIEVE WHEN I TALK TO PARENTS EVEN I CONVINCE AND TRY TO TELL THEM OTHERWISE THEY SAY THEY WANT THEM OUT IF THE FAMILY OPTS OUT WE HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO MONITOR THE STUDENT SO THAT MEANS A STUDENT HAS TO TAKE THE ALPACA UNTIL THE STUDENT RECLASSIFY HIS EVERY YEAR. IF THEY DON'T GO TO ANY CLASSES IN THERE IN THE MAINSTREAM FEBRUARY WE WILL TEST THEM AND WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THEM COMPLETELY UNTIL THEY TAKE THE L PACK IN HIS RECLASSIFY. I KNOW PARENTS GET UPSET AND NOT EVEN PARENTS CAN OPT OUT BECAUSE TO MAKE SURE THE STUDENT TO BE SUCCESSFUL EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT RECEIVING THE SERVICES BUT

THERE IS IN THE CROOKS. >> THANK YOU.

>> I THINK EVERYBODY HAS HIT THE SALIENT POINTS AND ECHO THE GRATITUDE THIS IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK NOT ONLY GOING INTO THE REPORT CLEARLY THE THOUGHT THAT GOES BEHIND THE VISION AND THE INTENTIONALITY ADVOCATED FOR THE GREAT DOCUMENT THAT'S NOT JUST A COMPLIANCE DOCUMENT IS NOT JUST GOING TO SIT ON YOUR SHELF THAT IS THE CULTURE HERE AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I WILL ALSO ECHO THE APPRECIATION FOR THE ASSET-BASED APPROACH BECAUSE I KNOW THE VERNACULARS ENGLISH LEARNER BUT I LIKE BILINGUAL BECAUSE THAT IS A MORE POSITIVE SPIN AND WHEN I CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT BUT I KNOW WE THINK ABOUT AND THAT'S HELPFUL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I LEARNED MUCH AT CONEJO ACADEMY THE PRINCIPAL HAS A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION IN A SHORT DEAL OF TIME AND SHE'S REALLY WONDERFUL.

SHE TOLD US A BUNCH OF STORIES ONE WAS ABOUT GRADUAL EMERGING PROGRAM IS NOW REACHING STUDENTS FROM FIRST GRADE DOWN BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER STUDENTS AT CONEJO ACADEMY AND THE GETTING OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN SPANISH AND THEY SAY THE PLEDGE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH AND SHE TOLD US ONE STUDENT WHOSE PARENTS DON'T SPEAK SPANISH AT HOME THAT IS LEARNING AT SCHOOL AND IS MOTIVATED BECAUSE IS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER IN SPANISH AND HE'S A FORMER STUDENT THAT FAMILY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK.

[B. Instructional Services - Approval of 2023/2024 School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA)]

>> WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO 5B INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES APPROVAL OF 23 - 24 SCHOOL PLANS FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.

MR. LOU THE SCHOOL PLANS FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT ARE NOT ATTACHED THEY ARE FRONT AND CENTER ON OUR WEBSITE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOW PEOPLE IF THEY GO TO THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WEBSITE AND SCROLL DOWN. I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW WHERE THEY ARE SO THEY CAN FIND THEM AND READ THEM.

>> LET ME PULL THAT UP RIGHT NOW.

>> AS NOTED PRESIDENT GILL ON THE DRAFT POSTED TODAY ARE AVAILABLE ON THE BUTTON ON SCHOOL PLANS AND REPORT CARDS SO YOU CAN CLICK HERE AND NOTE THE DRAFT FOR EACH OF HER SCHOOLS AND HOW MUCH ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE TO REVIEW WE'VE INCLUDED THE LINK ON THE PUBLIC POSTING FOR THE AGENDA AND WE KNOW HER

[01:45:02]

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. >> I WOULD NOTE THE SCHOOL KIND ABILITY BE REPORT CARD THAT IS/DEAR SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT CARD AND DOCTOR SUTER GOT THE INFORMATION TO START THE PROCESS OF UPDATING FOR THIS YEAR THIS MORNING.

THAT WILL BE THE NEXT THING THAT WILL BE UPDATED.

PEOPLE LOOK AT SCHOOL PLAN AND WONDER WHY WE HAVE LAST YEAR SCHOOL PLAN OR THE SHOE SCHOOL PLAN BUT NO THERE IS DIFFERENT TIMELINES IN WHICH THEY NEED TO BE DONE AND IS BEING WORKED ON.

>> THE STATE REQUIRES AT LEAST THAT THE POSTER BY FEBRUARY 1 OF EACH SCHOOL YEAR. ONCE WE MOVE FORWARD WE WILL GET

TO THAT. >> THANK YOU 70 ANSWERS TO SO MANY QUESTIONS AND SO MUCH RICH INFORMATION IN THOSE PLANS.

I DO RECOMMEND THEM AND DO WE HAVE COMMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS.

>> OKAY. I MOSTLY HAVE OBSERVATIONS HAVING READ MANY OF THESE PLANS. IT'S INTERESTING HOW EACH SCHOOL HAS ACHIEVED A UNIQUE APPROACH AND SET OF GOALS AND METRICS BUT THEY MANAGED TO TIE BACK TO THE DISTRICT GOALS AND THE ELK OUT THE FEW YEARS I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD AND SPENT TIME LOOKING AT THIS PLAN I SEE EVERY YEAR MARKET IMPROVEMENT.

IN THE APPROACH THAT HER SCHOOL SITES ARE USING THE SELF REFLECTION AND ANALYSIS SEEMS MORE ROBUST AND MEANINGFUL IN THE METRICS A LOT MORE HAS GONE INTO METRICS THAT ARE MEASURABLE AND WANT TO COMPLEMENT THE SCHOOLS WHO UPFRONT INCLUDED SITE-SPECIFIC MISSION STATEMENTS AND THEIR PLANS AND WENT BEYOND THE PROVIDED LANGUAGE AND INFORMATION THIS HELPS ME GET A MUCH BETTER SENSE OF THE UNIQUE NATURES OVER SCHOOL SITES AND PROGRAMS AND PHILOSOPHIES SPECIFIC TO EACH CAMPUS.

AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING WE HAD A CONVERSATION OF HOW THE GOALS FLOWED AND SHAPED HER PLANS AND EYES ALL OVER SCHOOL SITES DID AN EXCELLENT JOB MATCHING THE GOALS BACK TO THE ELK I SAW ONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHO UPFRONT TO EACH ONE OF THE ELK OUT AND MAP THEIR PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY INTO OUR GOALS, I APPRECIATED THAT.

THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH SOME OF HER DISTRICT AND BOARD PRIORITIES THAT WE DISCUSSED OVER THE PAST YEAR THERE UNEVENLY REFLECTED IN THE PLANS TWO EXAMPLES ARE LRE STATISTIC WHICH IS LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT PERTAINING TO STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AS WELL AS MASTERY GRADING PRACTICES. I'M CONFIDENT ENSURE ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE WORKING ON THESE INITIATIVES AND MANY HAD ACTIONS RELATED TO THEM ONLY SOME SCHOOLS ESPECIALLY CREATED METRICS IN A MASTERY GRADING PRACTICES.

I'M GRATEFUL TO THE SCHOOLS. I SAW SCHOOLS CREATE ATTENDANCE AND CHRONIC ABSENTEE WHICH IS A TREMENDOUS ISSUE NOT ONLY HERE BUT COUNTRYWIDE BASICALLY MY ONE QUESTION IF YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS NOT SO MUCH AT THE SCHOOL SITE THAT'S DETAILED BUT ONCE IT'S DONE AT THE SCHOOL SITE AND SIGNED OFF HOW MANY LEVELS OF SCREEN TO WHO IS READING THIS AND LOOKING AT IT

EVEN BEFORE IT REACHES US. >> THE SCHOOL PLANS WERE DUE TO US INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES SEPTEMBER THE EIGHTH AND WE WORK TO REVIEW THE FINAL DRAFT AT THE TIME IN OUR INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES DIRECTORS THE SCHOOL WORKS THROUGH THE SOUP SO DEVELOPMENT AND LAST SPRING AND DEFINITELY IN THE SUMMER AS WELL AS AUGUST THE PRINCIPAL'S WORK TO CONSULT AND ASK QUESTIONS AND SEEK FEEDBACK THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

WE DO THE FINAL LOOK FOR THE NEXT LAST FEW DAYS AND PROVIDE ANY BIG CHANGES THAT NEED TO HAPPEN IN THE FEEDBACK OF THE CONVERSATION HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PROCESS.

>> JUST DID NOTE FROM THE SITE LEVEL THE SCHOOL SITE COUNCILS THAT ARE WORKING WITH THE SITE ADMINISTRATION THESE NEED TO BE PROOF OF THE SCHOOL SITE PROCESS SO THERE'S A LOCAL COMMUNITY OF THE SCHOOL WHO IS APPROVING THIS BEFORE IT GETS SHIPPED TO BE

[01:50:02]

>> I HAVE BEEN ON THAT END OF IT AND THAT'S PART OF WHY APPRECIATE THE ROBUST OF THE SITE PLANS NOW VERSUS MAYBE A FEW YEARS OR MANY YEARS BACK I ALSO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE ACCELERATED THE TIMELINE SO IT'S A MEANINGFUL DOCUMENT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR RATHER THAN BEING APPROVED MIDWAY THROUGH I THINK ALL OF THE HARD WORK FROM ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WENT INTO

ALL OF THE PLANS. >> I THINK THERE WERE YEARS THAT IT WAS FEBRUARY THE FISCAL YEARS WERE BROUGHT FORWARD IN FAIRLY LATE IS A LOT OF WORK TO GET DONE BUT SCHOOL SITES LOOK AT IMPLEMENTING AND ADDRESSING THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO THE END OF THE YEAR AND YOU MENTIONED ATTENDANCE AND CHRONIC ABSENTEE MS. HARRISON HAS A NEW SPREADSHEET TO GO ZONE EACH WEEK TO LET SCHOOLS KNOW HOW THEY'RE DOING ATTENDANCE WISE AND SO FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS WE'VE SEEN GROWTH FROM LAST YEAR IN THE ATTENDANCE AND A DECREASE IN OUR CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM THAT'S THE WAY I EXPLAINED IT CORRECTLY. AN INCREASE IN ONE AND A

DECREASE IN THE OTHERS GOOD. >> TO SHARE ABOUT THE ADJUSTED TIMELINE THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR THAT WE BROUGHT THEM FORWARD TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR POSSIBLE APPROVAL IN EARLY OCTOBER BUT FEEDBACK FROM THE COUNCIL IS THIS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE THAT WE WOULD WORK HARD TO HAVE A PLAN AS SOON AS WE CAN TO START THE SCHOOL YEAR AND THAT MAKES SENSE YOU MIGHT HAVE A SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL PARENT WHO SAID LAST YEAR WAS THERE LAST YEAR IN FIFTH GRADE AND WE MAY BRING IN A NEW PARENT BECAUSE WE HAD ONE LEAVE AND EVEN AS A CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WAS A TEAM OF THE BEST INTEREST OF MY STUDENTS IN SCHOOL AND HEARING THEM BRAND-NEW AT THE TIME AND OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS BUT A PASSING OF THE TORCH EVEN THOUGH IT FELT STRANGE EARLY ON I THINK

EVERYONE BUYS INTO THIS. >> THESE ARE VOTED IN BY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY OF THE SCHOOL AND THE PARENTS THAT ARE SITTING ON THEIR IS NOT LIKE WERE SELECTING WHO GETS TO BE ON THERE AND WHO NOT WE OPEN IT UP FOR NOMINATIONS AND THEY COME IN AND BALANCE GO OUT AND TOP GO-GETTERS GETTING THERE IS A PROCESS FROM THAT STANCE AS W WELL.

>> I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION DO WE KNOW MUCH WHAT HAPPENS FROM THIS POINT ON OR IS IT NEXT YEAR SIPS A WE GET TO SEE THE REFLECTION OF WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN THE AIR

PRIOR. >> THE PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBILITY TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN WITH THEIR SCHOOL STAFF IN THE SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETINGS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE MONITORING AND UPDATES THAT MIGHT NOT BE A FULL RUNDOWN OF EVERY SINGLE ACTION THAT WERE DOING IT MIGHT BE A REVISIT AND UPDATE ON A FEW KEY AREAS THAT WE ENCOURAGE TO SHARE WITH THE COUNCIL AND THIS IS WHERE WERE AT WITH ACTIONS THAT WE DECIDED AND THIS IS WHERE WERE OUT WITH OUR METRICS AND HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT POTENTIALLY MAKING CHANGES INTO THE SUBSTANCE IS VOTED AND APPROVED THE MONITORING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, WHEN ALL SAY IS THE TEMPLATE WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT TO THE STATE DOES INCLUDE THOUGHTFUL ANALYSIS QUESTIONS THAT WERE NOT THERE BEFORE IN THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS THOSE ANALYSIS QUESTIONS NUMBER ONE THE SAME QUESTIONS FROM THE ELK OUT BUT ASKED SCHOOLS TO THE SCHOOL SITE COUNCILS AND SITE LEADERS TO REFLECT WHAT WORKED WELL, WHAT DID NOT WORK WELL, WHAT DID YOU NOT DO WHAT DID YOU DO THAT YOU DO NOT PLAN ON DOING AND WHAT ARE THE CHANGES AND UPDATES THAT YOU PLAN ON FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. TRUSTEE SYLVESTER SHOULD THE

[01:55:03]

REFLECTING THE. >> THE OTHER PIECE OF ONGOING MONITORING ANY PURCHASER TIMESHEET THEY NEED TO NOTE THE GOAL AND ACTION OF THE SCHOOL PLAN WHEN HE GOES TO THE DIRECTOR LEVEL THEY GET TO VERIFY WHEN THEY ARE ACCURATE AND HOW THE DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT AND HOW THEY SAID THERE BEING SPENT. THE HAS TO TRAVEL BACK YOUR PATH TO NOTING WHERE IN THE SCHOOL PLAY IN THE DOLLARS NOTED OR THE TUTORING PROGRAM OR WHATEVER GOING TO THE PROCESS FOR

PAYMENT. >> THANK YOU FOR THE RESPONSES I'VE ONLY BEEN INVOLVED WITH ONE SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL IN THE WAY IT WAS USED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR EVERY MEETING IT WOULD LOOK AT ONE SECTION IN THE GOAL AND HOW ARE WE DOING IT WAS GREAT BUT I DID NOT KNOW IF ALL SCHOOLS WERE DOING IT THAT WAY.

THANK YOU. >> I'M GOING TO SAY THEY WERE NOT AT SOME POINT BUT THE ONE SCHOOL ALWAYS USED THAT DOCUMENT. TRUSTEE SYLVESTER TOOK EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY ABOUT I WILL ADD THE PLUG FOR READING AS MANY IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF THE SCHOOL.

IT TELLS A REALLY GREAT STORY AND I REALLY APPRECIATED THE SCHOOLS THAT USE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THEIR UNIQUE CULTURES THROUGHOUT THEIR SPSA'S WHICH DID NOT USED TO HAPPEN.

VERY OFTEN THERE WERE A COUPLE THAT DID.

SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU THEY ARE TREMENDOUSLY THOUGHTFUL DOCUMENTS AND I APPRECIATE THE ONE TO INCORPORATE THE VISION AND PHILOSOPHY. IF YOU USE IT THAT WAY AND USING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO GUIDE YOUR SCHOOL SITE THEN IT IS A VERY POWERFUL THING. THANK YOU.

>> I WANT TO PIGGYBACK ON A PREVIOUS CONVERSATION HOW IT CHANGES OVER THE YEAR THERE WERE A COUPLE SCHOOL SITES IN THE SPSA SHOULD FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR THE VARIOUS SCHOOL SITE MEETINGS THEY HAD AND WHAT WAS DISCUSSED AND WHAT CHANGES WERE MADE SO A LOT OF SCHOOL SITES WILL TALK ABOUT MEETINGS MONTHLY OR QUARTERLY WILL TALK ABOUT THE SPSA'S AND THEY SAID IN APRIL 2023 THIS PERSON PRESENTED AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND CHANGE THAT AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY HELPFUL.

WE APPRECIATED THAT. >> THANK YOU, ANYONE ELSE?

[C. Instructional Services - Approval of Amendments to Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 6158 - Independent Study]

>> WE WILL MOVE TO 5C INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES IMPROVEMENT TO BOARD POLICY AND A MINISTRY TO REGULATION 6158 INDEPENDENT STUDY. MR. LOU DO YOU HAVE SOME

COMMENTS. >> VERY BRIEFLY THE INDEPENDENT STUDY BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION WITH CSP GAMMA UPDATES THAT ALIGN TO THE MOST CURRENT CALIFORNIA EDUCATION CODE.

YOU'LL KNOW ON THE BOARD POLICY AND A MINISTRY TO REGULATION THERE IS ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE AND ALSO A LOT OF STRIKEOUTS SO A LOT OF THAT RELATES TO TEMPORARY OR ONE-TIME LEGISLATION SPECIFIC TO COVID-19 AN INDEPENDENT STUDY THE WAY THAT I SEE THAT IT'S A RESPONSE BACK TO HOW THE STATE SEES INDEPENDENT STUDIES MOVING

FORWARD. >> COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM

THE BOARD. >> YES PLEASE.

>> RECENTLY ADDED DISTRICT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING THERE WAS A PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT INDEPENDENT STUDY AND IN THE AR AND TALKS ABOUT APPLICANTS BEING IN GRADES SEVEN THROUGH 12 AND THAT POTENTIALLY BEING HOLDOVER LANGUAGE FROM WHEN SIX GRADE WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I'M WONDERING IF IT'S ON PAGE SEVEN I GUESS NUMBER FIVE ON PAGE SEVEN APPLICANTS MUST BE GRADE SEVEN OUR OVERALL GPA. YOU THINK THAT IS HOLDOVER LANGUAGE AND WHAT WOULD BE CAN WE ADJUST TO MAKE A GREAT SPAN.

[02:00:03]

>> SURE. >> AS WE DID A HISTORICAL DIVE ON THE POLICY AND THE PRACTICE FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY PEA USED TO BE THAT WE ARE PERMITTED SIX GRADE INDEPENDENT STUDY BUT WE FOUND THAT A CERTAIN POINT WILL BE HAPPY TO POLICY WE WENT JUST TO GRADES SEVEN THROUGH 12. IN TERMS OF WHAT THE STATE ALLOWS US TO BE PERMISSIBLE FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY PE THERE IS NO SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OR GRADE LEVEL CUTOFFS.

ALL SHARE THERE ARE SOME DISTRICTS IN VENTURA COUNTY THAT HAVE A SIMILAR POLICY TO OURS GRADES SEVEN THROUGH 12 SIMILAR REQUIREMENTS AND SOME THAT PERMIT SIX GRADE I THINK A COUPLE THAT RECENTLY MOVED FOR SIX GRADE INDEPENDENT STUDY PE.

AS PART OF THE HISTORICAL DIVE SOME OF THE FEEDBACK AND THE QUESTION OF WHY DID WE PERMIT 62 NOT.

SOME OF THAT RELATED TO THE PE TEACHERS AT THAT TIME HAD FELT STRONGLY THE TRANSITION FROM ELEMENTARY TO MIDDLE SCHOOL THEY FELT LIKE IT WAS IMPORTANT TO KEEP STUDENTS IN PE AND PE CAN PROVIDE CONNECTIONS TO STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY AND ALSO EMOTIONAL AND OTHER FEEDBACK UNBELIEF STUDENTS OF MORE YOUNGER AGE BENEFIT FROM OVERALL EDUCATION AS OPPOSED TO VERY SPORT

SPECIFIC. >> I AGREE KEEPING KIDS ACTIVE NO MATTER WHAT GRADE IS IMPORTANT.

BUT FOR ME IN MY HEAD IT MAKES SENSE TO KEEP IT GRADE SPAN CONGRESS BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE FEELS THE SAME.

>> THE OTHER FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED THIS IS BEEN GOING ONGOING MASTER SCHEDULE AND PLACEMENT OF KIDS JUST KNOW WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AS FAR AS A STUDENT IF THEY'RE NOT IN PE CHANCES THEY WILL NEED TWO ELECTIVES AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR SIXTH-GRADER IN HIS OR MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR AN ELECTIVE BECAUSE MOST SIXTH-GRADERS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL RUN A WHEEL I DID NOT HAVE THAT IN MY DISTRICT BUT HERE THEY RUN WHEELS SO HOW DO THEY FALL INTO A MASTER SCHEDULE AND SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE WORKED OBVIOUSLY INDIVIDUALLY.

STUDENTS IF WE MAKE THAT CHANGE THEY WOULD HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT WITH THE STUDENT HOW IT WOULD FALL INTO THE MASTER SCHEDULE.

>> TO ADD SOME DETAILS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL YOU CAN THINK OF IT AS TWO DIFFERENT MASTER SCHEDULE HAVE A SIX AND THEN A SEVENTH AND EIGHTH. THE REASON SIX GRADE THE MAJORITY ARE MULTISUBJECT CREDENTIALED TEACHERS WHICH MEANS FOR INSTANCE AN INDIVIDUAL TEACHER WITH MULTIPLE SUBJECT MAY TEACH ENGLISH AND HISTORY SOCIAL SCIENCE OR MATH AND SCIENCE BUT WHAT THAT MEANS WERE ACTUALLY AUDITED EVERY YEAR AND THOSE CLASSES HAVE TO BE IDENTICAL IN NATURE AND THE GROUP OF STUDENTS HAVE TO BE THE SAME WITHIN THE COURSE SO IT SHOULD BE THE SAME GROUP OF STUDENTS WITHIN THE MATH AND THE SCIENCE AS WELL AS ENGLISH AND HISTORY SOCIAL STUDIES.

THERE BECOMES LIMITATIONS WITH HOW FLEXIBLE WE CAN HAVE ULTIMATELY A SIX GRADE PE CLASS BECAUSE MOST FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY, FOR THE END OF THE DAY THE REQUESTER WOULD LIKE THEM TO HAVE INDEPENDENT PE SO THEY COULD GO TO PRACTICE FOR MANY HOURS AFTER BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY FOR A STUDENT TO HAVE A SCHEDULE AND SIX GRADE WITH PE AS A LAST CLASS.

IN PARTICULAR THERE ARE A LOT OF APPLICATIONS AT THE SIX GRADE STUDENT NEEDS AND ELD AS ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION OR WANTS TO TAKE A SPECIALTY ELECTIVE LIKE A BAND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THERE IS SOME CHALLENGES IN GETTING THE RIGHT FIT IN THE SCHEDULE FOR THE LAST PERIOD FOR PE.

>> FOR US THIS IS BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD OBVIOUSLY IF THE BOARD GIVES US DIRECTION TO MOVE IN THE

[02:05:01]

>> I APPRECIATE THAT BUT I KNOW WHEN WERE LOOKING AT STUDENTS FOR EXAMPLE MY CHILDREN BACK TO THE SEVENTH GRADE BACK TO THE COHORTS ENGLISH SOCIAL STUDIES, MATH AND SCIENCE ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN AS MUCH TO MY DISMAY FIRST GO AROUND WERE ACCELERATED MATH SO THEY HAD SEVENTH GRADE MATH IN SIX GRADE SO THEY WERE COHORT IT I'M SURE IN WHATEVER WAS GOING ON MASTER SCHEDULE WISE BUT THE FIRST I DIDN'T THANK YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO DO

BUT HE'S FINE. >> JUST TO NOTE I WOULD SAY THE COUNTY WHO AUDITS IS LESS FLEXIBLE THAN YEARS AGO.

THEY DON'T GIVE US ANY FLEXIBILITY.

THAT IS A BIG PIECE I KNOW IS A MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL MIKE COUNTY OFFICE WE WERE ABLE TO SHIFT FOR HER FIVE KIDS AND PROBABLY THE SHIFT HAS BEEN MY TIME HERE WHEN I WAS IN HR THEY AUDITED OR SIXTH-GRADERS AND THEY SENT ME TO BE THE EXACT GROUP OF KIDS WHICH PRIOR BEFORE IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBLE HE COULD HAVE A RANGE OF FOR - 6 STUDENTS BUT DIDN'T NECESSARILY NEED TO BE THE EXACT SAME GROUP OF KIDS BUT NOW THE MULTIPLE SUBJECT CREDENTIAL COUNTY IS MUCH LESS FLEXIBLE IN

ALLOWING US TO DO THAT. >> THOSE AUDITS HAPPEN FOR ALL OF THE CLASSES FOR SIX GRADE PRETTY USED TO BE THE COUNTY WOULD SAY CHECK A FEW OF THE SCHEDULES BUT THERE IS A SYSTEM NOW WHERE ALL OF THE INFORMATION GETS LOOKED AT.

>> PART OF WHAT I'M HEARING IS ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT MEANINGFUL AND IF PE WAS THE END OF THE DAY THAT WAS ARGUMENT GIVING THEM A PASS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY DOES NOT HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF BENEFIT. WHAT I HEAR FROM THE SCHEDULE AND PERSPECTIVE IN SIX GRADE THAT'S VERY DIFFICULT IS A

PRETTY GOOD SUMMARY. >> THAT THE PREFERENCE FOR THE LAST PERIOD. RINO WITH HAD STUDENTS ON INDEPENDENT PE THAT WOULD DO SOMETHING ELSE FOR THIRD PERIOD TO REST HER BODY AND ONTO ANYTHING PHYSICALLY STRENUOUS.

>> WE HAVE ANNEXED MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL WHO HAS INSIGHTS ON THINGS THAT WE MIGHT BE MISSING TO THIS CONVERSATION AND/OR AS SOMEONE IS A PE TEACHER WITH BACKGROUND, MR. LU AND I ARE HERE TALKING ABOUT IT AND SOMEONE AS AN EXPERT IN THE

ROOM. >> THANK YOU NOT MISSING ANYTHING HISTORICALLY MR. LU HATED ON THE HEAD I WAS ON THE ARTICULATION COMMITTEE AT THE TIME ABOUT IN THE DISCUSSION WAS OCCURRING OF THE ADVANTAGES FOR SIXTH-GRADER COMING FROM A SCHOOL WITH 30900 HAVING THE LESS STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES WITH PARTNERS, SMALL GROUPS, LARGE PARTNERS IN DEVELOPING A SENSE OF IDENTITY AS A NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT AND ADD SHARED A VARIETY OF MOVEMENT ACTIVITIES AS OPPOSED TO THE INDIVIDUAL SPORT AND REALLY PARTICULARLY FROM A MASTER SCHEDULING STANDPOINT IT CAN BE TRICKY IF TWO ELECTIVES CAN BE OFFERED DURING THE DAY, YOU CAN PUT THE INDEPENDENT STUDY PE. AS A 0.

IT HAS PROVEN A LITTLE EASIER AS SOME OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND A LITTLE TRICKIER BASED ON ENROLLMENT AND STAFFING AND COURSES OFFERED TO HAVE THE ELECTIVES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES SCHEDULED AT THE END OF THE DAY.

ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT CAME UP PREVIOUSLY IF IT'S EASIER FOR ONE SCHOOL AND HARDER FOR ANOTHER IS THE SCHOOL GOING TO LOSE STUDENTS BY A WAY OF SCHOOL CHOICE IN THE SCHOOL ACROSS TOWN BECAUSE HER SCHEDULE WORKED OUT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

[02:10:04]

>> YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE ANSWER TO HOW MANY STUDENTS ACTUALLY TAKE INDEPENDENT STUDY PE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL.

>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. >> THEY HAVE TO HIT CERTAIN MARKS AND I WAGER THAT'S ON A HUGE NUMBER.

>> LAST YEAR THERE WERE 487TH AND EIGHTH GRADE TOTAL DISTRICT WIDE INDEPENDENT PE IF YOU'RE CURIOUS OF THE PRESENT AT ABOUT 2% OF STUDENTS IN THE CURRENT SIX GRADE WOULD BE 22 STUDENTS

AS A PROJECTION. >> FROM AN INFORMATION PERSPECTIVE AS WELL WE SAW THIS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL TO THE CONEJO SCHOOLS FOUNDATION THERE IS A WORRISOME FROM PE TEACHERS THAT WE WOULD SEE A DROP IN OFFERING OF SECTIONS AND THE NEED AND BASED ON THE CURRENT NUMBERS WE DON'T SEE THAT TO BE THE CASE BUT JUST TO SHARE WITH YOU INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN SHARED OVER THE YEARS WITH US THAT IS A CONCERN THAT WE WOULD BE DROPPING PETE TEACHERS AND OC EVENT TICKETS FROM ONE SCHOOL UNLESS THEY DO TRANSFER WOULD BE AN ISSUE OF THEM LOSING A

SECTION OR A P TEACHER. >> ULTIMATELY WITH THE NUMBERS IT REDUCES THE CLASS-SIZE OF A PE CLASS.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WAS AN ARTICULATION COMMITTEE THAT DISCUSS THE SPECIFIC ISSUE AND THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO.

>> A LONG TIME AGO? >> THERE WAS 12 YEARS AGO.

>> I'M GOING TO SAY APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS AGO MAY BE MORE BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO RELEVANT TO NOTE AS PART OF THE INDEPENDENT PE REQUIREMENTS THE COACH OR TRAINER WORKING WITH THE STUDENT HAS TO ATTEST TO THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AT OUR QUARTERLY AND SEMESTER THE GRADING PERIODS SO THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY AND PART OF THE COACH TO COMMUNICATE WITH US LETTING US KNOW THE STUDENTS PHYSICALLY ACTIVE THE NUMBER OF HOURS PER WEEK THAT THEY SAY THEY ARE IN PROVIDING ATTENDANCE REPORT THERE ARE CHECKS AND BALANCES TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS ARE ACTIVE AND HEALTHY THAT MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN PHYSICAL

EDUCATION WITH US. >> I DO RECALL WITHIN THE LAST

COUPLE OF YEARS. >> WE ALSO ASKED THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION ARTICULATION MEETING ON OCTOBER 12, 2022 LAST YEAR AND THE FEEDBACK WAS A FEEDBACK I JUST SHARED.

>> OVERWHELMINGLY CONCERN THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA FROM THE TEACHERS TO THE IDEA OF OPENING UP TO SIX GRADE.

>> FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE IT SEEMS CLEAR FROM THE TEACHER PERSPECTIVE OF THE SAME VIEWS THAT WE SHARED HAVING SIX GRADE CONNECTED TO WELL-BALANCED PHYSICAL EDUCATION THINGS LIKE

THAT. >> DO WE HAVE A SET OF CRITERIA YOU MENTION THE COACH OR TRAINER OF THE ACTIVITY THAT THE STUDENT WILL BE GOING TO DO WE HAVE ANY CRITERIA AS FAR AS THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE COACH OR TEACHER OR TRAINER.

>> MR. LU CONFIRMS IT HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS AGO IT WAS THAT THEY PRACTICED HAS TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL SPORT FIRST AND FOREMOST, SOCCER, BASEBALL, THOSE PORTS WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION. TEN HOURS PER WEEK OF PRACTICE A MINIMUM AND THEY HAVE TO BE RANKED I BELIEVE IN THE STATE OR NATION TO SHOW IT'S AN ELITE ATHLETE THAT IS PURSUING SOMETHING BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN THE

SPORT. >> TO GIVE US #THREE THE POLICY SPECIFICALLY SAYS THE STUDENT HAS TO BE INDIVIDUALLY RANKED AT THE NATIONAL OLYMPIC OR ELITE LEVEL.

WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AS PART OF THE APPLICATION FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY RESUME OF THE INSTRUCTOR QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE IS PROVIDED AS WELL IF A STUDENT GOES THROUGH WITH

[02:15:02]

>> QUESTION TO THE DOCTOR. FROM A LIABILITY STANDPOINT RELEASED TO A STUDENT FROM SOMEBODY WE HAVE TO KNOW THE RESUME AND COLLECT DOCUMENTS AND NO IN THE WORLD DEVELOP EXPORTS THERE'S BEEN A HISTORY OF ABUSE DO WE SEE A LIABILITY THAT COMES TO THE DISTRICT ON THE RELEASE OF A STUDENT TO WORK IN THE CAPACITY WITH THE COACH OR AS LONG AS WERE FOLLOWING THE POLICY WE SEEM NOT TO HAVE AN ISSUE.

JUST CURIOUS AND YOU MAY NOT HAVE AN ANSWER AYE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT UNTIL NOW OR I WOULD'VE ASKED.

>> SIMILAR TO OTHER THINGS AND SITUATION OF THE PARENT SIGNS UP THAT THEY'RE EXCEPTING THIS POSSIBILITY WHEN THE KIDS ARE NOT ON CAMPUS THEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE.

>> TO THE 48 STUDENTS THAT WERE DOING INDEPENDENT STUDY PE SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS LAST YEAR THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE CENTURY ACADEMY. I ASSUME THERE IS SOME STUDENTS THAT MOVE OVER CENTURY ACADEMY THAT MIGHT BE THE ATHLETE.

>> THAT IS RIGHT THAT ONLY INCLUDES OUR CONFERENCE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL SEQUOYAH AND SYCAMORE CANYON.

>> ANYONE ELSE. >> WERE NOT VOTING TONIGHT BUT YOU NEED DIRECTION WHETHER TO ADOPT THE POLICY.

>> IF YOU WANT TO GIVE US DIRECTION.

IT SEEMS THERE'S A CONVERSATION AROUND SIX GRADE SO THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR CHANGE TO THE POLICY IF NOT THE POLICY WILL COME BACK

AS IS. >> GO AHEAD.

>> WHAT ABOUT WHAT WE JUST SAID INDIVIDUALIZED AND SOMEONE HIGHLY QUALIFIED I WOULD SAY LET'S NOT BE IN SIX GRADE BUT THE CHANCES OF SIXTH-GRADERS QUALIFYING FOR THAT IS LIMITED SO I WOULD SAY LET'S ALLOW IT BUT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AT ALL LEAVE IT OPEN AND TO ENFORCE THE CRITERIA.

>> I WOULD NEVER PREDICT THE NUMBER OF FOLKS THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THIS. LIMITING IT IS A DIFFICULT CONCEPT OF RIGHT INTO THE POLICY BECAUSE WHAT WITHOUT LOOK LIKE.

I DO THINK YES WE MOVE IN DIRECTION OF ALLOWING SIX GRADE

INDEPENDENT STUDY OR NOT. >> DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE THAT CHANGE TO INCLUDE SIX GRADE OR DO WE WANT

TO BRING THE POLICY BACK AS IS. >> I THINK WE SHOULD INCLUDE SIX GRADE. I THINK THE GREENSPAN ARGUMENT IS A GOOD ONE I JUST THINK IN TODAY'S WORLD WERE SEEING THE ATHLETES AND I WOULD HATE FOR FAMILIES TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DISTRICT WHERE THEIR SIXTH-GRADER CAN ENGAGE IN THAT.

THE SAME TIME I'M A LITTLE BIT LOW TO PUSH FORWARD AND SAY WE NEED TO CHANGE OF POLICY GIVEN A YEAR AGO THERE WAS SPECIFIC DISCUSSION AROUND IT AND WE HEARD SPECIFICALLY FROM TEACHERS THAT THIS POTENTIALLY WOULD IMPACT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESPONSES. HOW DO WE INVESTIGATE FURTHER IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO DO OR EXPLORE.

>> MY ONE SUGGESTION BRINGING THIS FORWARD AS AN ACTION ITEM THE TWO OPTIONS WHICH WOULD GIVE THE BOARD TIME TO INDIVIDUALLY PONDER WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST APPROACH AND AS IT COMES FORWARD AS AN ACTION ITEM OR DOWN TO VOTING YOU WOULD GET TO SELECT AT THAT TIME WHICH OPTION OR HOWEVER, YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. IT ALLOWS IT TO YOU NOT TO GIVE US COMPLETE DIRECTION KNOWING THAT WORKING OUT OF A DECISION

[02:20:02]

IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME GROUP THAT WERE REACHING OUT TO.

JUST KNOW THAT. >> I APPRECIATE THE DELAY I'M REALLY ON THE FENCE I HAVE TO SAY ON THE ONE HAND KEEPING A GREENSPAN SPECIFIC MAKES A LOT OF SENSE I AGREE WITH THE PROJECTION OF 22 STUDENTS SPREAD ACROSS FIVE SCHOOLS IS PROBABLY THE MASTER SCHEDULING AND CANOPY WORK I DON'T KNOW BUT I RECOGNIZE WHAT THE TEACHERS ARE SAYING AND I DON'T WANT TO DISCOUNT THAT AT ALL. I GUESS WERE BUYING TIME SO I

APPRECIATE THAT. >> WEAVE AGREEMENT AND I

APPRECIATE THE TIME AS WELL. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPTION.

[D. Board of Education - Approval of Amendments to Board Bylaw 9320 - Meetings and Notices]

>> OKAY WE WILL MOVE TO 5G WORD OF EDUCATION APPROVAL 9320

MEETINGS AND NOTICES. >> THIS IS A GAMMA UPDATE THAT FOCUSES ON AB 2449 WHICH IS THE ASSEMBLY BILL THAT WAS PASSED ON BOARD MEMBERS WERE UNABLE TO ATTEND A BOARD MEETING AND CAN DO IT VIRTUALLY LESS RESTRICTIVE PRIOR TO COVID BUT IT PUTS IN PROCEDURES THE DISTRICT MUST FOLLOW WHEN INDIVIDUAL BOARDMEMBER OR TWO AS LONG AS IT'S NOT THE MAJORITY THE MAJORITY HAS TO BE HERE IN PERSON WHEN THEY CAN'T MAKE A BOARD MEETING AND WOULD LIKE TO DO VIRTUALLY, THAT IS UPDATE.

>> THANK YOU. >> WEAVE COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, DISCUSSION. NO, OKAY.

>> ONE THING TO NOTE IF A BOARD MEMBER DOES REQUEST TO BE REMOTELY UNDER AB 2449 I THINK THIS RIGHT NOW IS APPROVED THROUGH 2026. ON THOSE NIGHTS THAT WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT THE BOARDMEMBER WHO WAS AWAY WE NEED TO ALLOW TELEPHONE PUBLIC COMMENTS OR ZOOM.

FROM A PUBLIX PERSPECTIVE HOW THAT WOULD LOOK WHEN 70 TAKES

ADVANTAGE OF THE PROCESS. >> THANK YOU.

GAMMA UPDATE. >> YES PLEASE.

>> I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S MY WORK CAPILLARY OR LACK THEREOF OR A MISTAKE ON THE LAST PARAGRAPH ON PAGE ONE AN OPEN MEETING BY COMMITTEE COMPROMISE EXCLUSIVE SHOULD THAT BE COMPRISE?

>> PROBABLY CORRECT I WILL HAVE SHERRY VERIFY BUT I'M SURE IS

COMPRISED. >> THANK YOU FOR THE NOTE,

ANYONE ELSE? >> WE'RE AT ITEM 6 ADJOURNMENT.

WILL BEGIN THIS WITH FUTURE BOARD TOPICS WOULD BOARD MEMBERS LIKE TO ADD TOPICS FOR FUTURE BOARD DISCUSSION?

YES PLEASE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO REVISIT THE ACCOUNT COMMITTEE DISCUSSION AT THE LAST MEETING WHERE WE DISCUSSED POTENTIAL DIRECTION AND CHARGES FOR THAT COMMITTEE AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER SO IDEALLY AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

I THINK THE BUDGET L KOEPKA COMMITTEE PROVIDES TREMENDOUS VALUE AND I THINK IS A GOOD CROSS-SECTION OF INDIVIDUALS AND I THINK THERE ARE TOPICS AHEAD OF THE NEW L CAP TEMPLATE WHICH IS A TOPIC THAT WE CAN TACKLE OR THE COMMITTEE CAN TACKLE NOW SUCH AS BIG-TICKET ITEMS. WE COULD ALSO INCLUDE IN THE CONVERSATION THIS YEAR END IN FUTURE YEARS HOW AND WHO SHOULD DECIDE THE CHARGE FOR THE L CAP COMMITTEE PRODUCES SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD SHOULD DO AND IS IS SOMETHING THAT THE BUDGET L CAP SHOULD DO IS AT THE DISTRICT, ET CETERA.

IF WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THE MERITS OF KEEPING THE L CAP COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENT WE CAN INCLUDE THAT HER FOCUS ON THE ACTUAL BUDGET EL CAPITAN COMMITTEE.

>> REALLY BRIEF THE LAST STATEMENT OF AN COMPREHENSIVE

[02:25:02]

>> OKAY. WE SAID WE WOULD BRING THIS BACK ONLY A MORE TO TALK ABOUT. I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT THE NEXT

MEETING IF WE HAVE CONSENSUS. >> YES, OKAY.

DONE. OTHER TOPICS?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE WE'VE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WELLNESS CENTERS AND WE NOW HAVE THEM UP AND RUNNING TO HAVE PRETTY ROBUST DATA AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE OUR OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT SOON.

>> YES. >> GREAT.

>> DOCTOR CHAMBERLAIN WOULD LOVE TO.

>> OKAY. >> ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS.
