ORGANIZATION REPORT WE ARE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THE DISTRICT ADVISORY COUNCIL FROM CHAIRPERSON LEANNE HOLLAND,

WELCOME TO THE PODIUM. >> THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT GILL, TRUSTEES, PRESIDENT LOUGHLIN.

MY NAME IS LEANNE AND IS MY HONOR TO SHARE THE DISTRICT ADVISORY COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION TO GIVE A REPORT ON BEHALF OF JACK. THE DAC EXECUTIVE BOARD MET IN AUGUST PLAN FOR OUR FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR AND DURING THE PLANNING MEETING THE EXECUTIVE BOARD UPDATED THE THREE PRIORITIES THAT WE DEVELOP LAST YEAR TO GUIDE OUR WORK AS DAC. THE FIRST PRIORITY IS ACHIEVEMENT AND OVERALL SUCCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS.

THIS MAY SEEMED LIKE AN OBVIOUS PRIORITY FOR AN ADVISORY GROUP MADE OF THE PARENTS, WE FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT TO SPOTLIGHT STUDENT OUTCOMES. NEXT THE SUPPORTING SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN SCHOOLWIDE MENTAL HEALTH BY ENHANCING CONNECTIONS IN CAMPUS CULTURE. THIS YEAR WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH OF STUDENTS AND STAFF IS VITAL.

MAKING SURE THE KIDS FEEL WELCOME AT SCHOOL IN BUILDING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FAMILIES, STUDENTS AND SCHOOL STAFF ARE GREAT FOUNDATION FOR THIS WORK.

[00:05:05]

HAVING A ROBUST DISCUSSION AND INTERACTION IN OUR MEETINGS IS SO IMPORTANT AS ENGAGING WITH OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VOICES OF FAMILIES ARE HEARD AND THAT THEY KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING AT DAC. LOOKING BACK OVER THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR TO SEE HOW WELL WE WERE GUIDED BY OUR PRIORITIES I WILL SHARE THAT WE HAD SEVERAL MEETINGS THAT FOCUS ON ACHIEVEMENT AND SUCCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS INCLUDING PRESENTATIONS ON CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION, STUDENT PERFORMANCE DATA AND MIDDLE SCHOOL GUIDANCE STUDIES. WE ALSO COVERED MULTIPLE TOPICS THAT ADDRESS SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING, CAMPUS CULTURE AND STUDENT CONNECTION TO SCHOOL INCLUDING PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION ON SCHOOL SAFETY, SCHOOL CULTURE AND CLIMATE, SCHOOL FUNDRAISING, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION IN CVUSD PARTNER SAFE PASSAGE. FROM ONE OF OUR MEETINGS THE FOCUS WAS ON STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND REFLECTION SINCE COVID WHICH COVERS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND MENTAL HEALTH, WE ALSO MADE INTENTIONAL EFFORT TO ENGAGE DAC MEMBERS WITH REGULAR DISCUSSIONS, TABLE TALKS AND EVEN ADVISORY COUNCIL PANEL. WE ALSO HELD THE FIRST EVER SUPER DAC MEETING LAST YEAR END WERE HOLDING TO THIS YEAR, WE ALSO STARTED THE SUPER DAC NEWSLETTER TO COMMUNICATE TO ALL CVUSD FAMILIES ABOUT WHAT DOCS ARE DOING.

I HOPE ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A SIMILAR LEVEL OF MOVEMENT ON ALL OF OUR PRIORITIES ISSUE. OUR FIRST ACT MEETING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WAS ON SEPTEMBER 12, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO ALL OF THE TRUSTEES, DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN AND DISTRICT LEADERSHIP WHO ARE REGULARLY IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL AS MR. KENNY LOU WHO SERVES AS OUR FACILITATOR FOR DAC.

WE HAD TO INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA THE FIRST IS A PRESENTATION BY MR. LOU ON THE UPDATED DAC HANDBOOK WHICH CONTAINS USEFUL INFORMATION SUCH AS OUR DAC BYLAWS AND TIPS ON PROCEDURE WHICH IS GREAT FOR NEW AND RETURNING MEMBERS, THE UPDATED DAC HANDBOOK IS AVAILABLE ON THE DAC WEBPAGE. THE SECOND BIG ITEM ON OUR AGENDA WAS A THOROUGH PRESENTATION BY ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELORS ON THE WORK THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO COUNSELING ACROSS THE GREAT EXPANSE THAT ENSURE ALL STUDENTS ARE SERVED EQUITABLY.

IT'S EXCITING WORK TO PROMOTE STUDENT SUCCESS AND WELL-BEING.

OUR OCTOBER 10 MEETING WAS A SUPER DAC WHICH IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL. ADVISORY COUNCILS TO COME TOGETHER AND SHARE IDEAS AND PERSPECTIVES.

I ALWAYS ENJOY OUR SUPER DAC MEETINGS BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING SO ENERGIZING AND INSPIRING ABOUT HAVING SO MANY PARENT LEADERS IN ONE ROOM. OUR MAIN PRESENTATION THE DISCUSSION WAS ALL ABOUT MASTERY GRADING WHICH IS A PRACTICE THAT IMPACTS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT WELL-BEING.

WE HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT COURTNEY STOCKTON INTO TEACHERS WHO WERE EARLY DOCTOR SHAWN FLAHERTY FROM NEWBERRY PARK HIGH SCHOOL AND DAVID FROM WESTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL.

KENNY LOU AND DOCTOR DANA SELLARS ALSO PRESENTED AFTER THE GREENSPAN BREAKOUT GROUPS ATTENDEES SHARED KEY TAKEAWAYS AND SOME OF MY FAVORITES WERE INSIDE PROVIDING IEP ACCOMMODATIONS FOR EVERYONE. THE MARRIAGE OF MASTERY GRADING CREATES AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL.

IT ELIMINATES ANXIETY FOR STUDENTS WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND AS FAST AND EMPOWERS THEM TO FAIL FORWARD.

THIS PRACTICE WILL CREATE LIFELONG LEARNERS AND MASTERY GRADING SUPPORTS EVERYWHERE. OUR THIRD DAC MEETING OF THE YEAR WAS YESTERDAY, NOVEMBER THE 14TH, WE HAD THREE MAIN ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA THE FIRST WAS AN INFORMATIVE AND LET'S FACE IT, HUMOROUS PRESENTATION ON HOW LAWS ARE MADE IN CALIFORNIA BY THE DAC LEGISLATIVE REPORTER. WE GATHERED FEEDBACK FROM OUR MEMBERS ON THE DISTRICT ALL CAPS FROM THE BUDGET COMMITTEE.

AND OUR MEMBERS ARE GENERALLY SATISFIED WITH THE CURRENT GOALS WE CAME UP WITH IDEAS TO ADJUST THE LANGUAGE.

OUR PRIMARY FOCUS FOR THE MEETING WAS A PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION ON SITE COUNCILS WE HEARD FROM MR. LOU ABOUT THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR C SITE COUNCILS AND A BRIEF SURVEY ABOUT COUNCIL OPERATIONS IN A PANEL OF DAC MEMBERS ABOUT BEST PRACTICES AND BREAKOUT SESSIONS TO DISCUSS COMMUNICATION SUMMATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND IDEAS FOR GROWTH.

SOME OF THE BEST PRACTICES SHARED WERE HAVING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO COMEDIC IT WAS FAMILIES AND ALWAYS CENTERING STUDENT VOICE.

ONE AREA IDENTIFIED AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH IS ADDITIONAL OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT WITH FAMILIES SO MORE ARE AWARE OF SCHOOL SITE COUNCILS AND THE IMPORTANT ROLE THAT THEY PLAY. LOOKING FORWARD A PLAN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MEETINGS IS TO FOCUS ON PARENT ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY BUILDING IN DECEMBER AND WE HOPE TO HAVE A PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION IN JANUARY ON EFFORTS TO INCREASE WALKING AND BIKING TO SCHOOL WHICH BENEFITS OUR KIDS AND OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE ABOUT THE DISTRICT ADVISORY COUNCIL.

, FIRST, PUBLIC SPEAKER ERIC. AS.

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES, BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE READY.

>> GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS ERIC. AS I AM CURRENTLY A SENIOR.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENT ADVOCATES PUBLIC HEALTH OF WESTMINSTER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.

HERE IN THOUSAND OAKS WE ARE HERE TO ADDRESS THE RAPID GROWTH OF THE HEALTH CASE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THE ISSUES THAT HAVE RESULTED IN AN INCREASE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

IN THIS DISTRICT AND RECOGNIZES SENSIBILITY OF THE TOPIC IN OUR MINISTRIES AND FACULTY WITH PROVIDING THE STUDENTS WITH ADEQUATE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES, HENCE WHY WERE HERE TO PROPOSE TO YOU OUR ADULT MENTORING STRATEGIES TO FIX THESE ISSUES.

WE ACTIVELY CEASE THE AUTHENTIC SELF WITH INTERNAL CONFLICTS LEAVING THOSE VULNERABLE FOR HABIT INCLUDING USING DRUGS.

ALL OF US BECAUSE THE DOWNFALL OF OUR PEERS IN THE WOMEN ACADEMICS AND MOST IMPORTANT TO JEOPARDIZE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY. AS A UNIFIED COMMUNITY AND THE TRAGIC THAT IS OCCURRING WITHIN THE LAST YEARS AND I KNOW WE LIKE TO PREVENT MORE HAPPENING. OUR FIRST STRATEGY WOULD BE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SPORTSCENTER'S AND WELLNESS CENTERS WITH THE SAME PLACE FOR STUDENTS AND ALLOWED PEERS OF THEIR AGE AND SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCE.

OF COURSE THE SUPERVISION OF A TRUSTED OR TRAINED ADULT.

SECONDLY WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING TO PRIMARILY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ONLY AS A PROVIDING FOUNDATION FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS FOR CHILDREN INCLUDING HEALTHY COVID MECHANISMS, AND INTRODUCED OTHER GRADE LEVEL SIMILAR IN SIX GRADE. LASTLY WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT WE CONSTRUCTION THE HEALTH CURRICULUM WERE HYBRID CLASS EDUCATING ON THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR OUR WELL-BEING.

THE DISTRICT CONSISTS OF A COVID MECHANISM AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE THROUGH THESE IDEAS WE BELIEVE STUDENTS WILL GAIN ACADEMIC AND FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE TO SURVIVE OUTSIDE OF

SCHOOL. >> I FEEL THE BEST THING THAT WE COULD DO RIGHT NOW IS OUR FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATORS TO REEVALUATE OUR CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK AND ENHANCE THE COURSEWORK TO ADDRESS CURRENT MENTAL HEALTH CASES ON THE FACING OF OUR STUDENTS PROVE WE HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER OUR SUGGESTIONS TO CREATE A BENEFICIAL ENVIRONMENT THAT HELPS OUR COMMUNITY COPE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND TO CREATE A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR EVERYONE.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE.

>> THANK YOU ERIC. NEXT SPEAKER CASEY.

[00:15:04]

>> I NAME IS CASEY AND EMMA NORTHWEST MINISTER, WEAVER PROGRAM FOR STUDENT ADVOCATE LEADING DECISION ON AND WE FOCUS ON HELPING PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE WITH YOU GUYS TODAY BECAUSE YOU SEE MORE AND MORE OF OUR PEERS ARE GETTING INTO USING SUBSTANCES.

THE STUFF OUT THERE SEEMS TO BE GETTING STRONGER.

IT IS BECOMING SO COMMON IN PLACES AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, NOT PARTICIPATING FEELS ABNORMAL.

WE KNOW THAT YOU CARE AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE ARE HERE TO PROPOSE CHANGE IN OUR COMMUNITY. PEOPLE WHO ARE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY HEALTHY DON'T USUALLY RELY ON SUBSTANCES OR VALIDATION OR BELIEF. THEY ARE AWARE OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR NEEDS. THEIR CONNECTION BETWEEN STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND TURNING TO SUBSTANCES.

AN IDEA THAT WE HAVE TO HELP THE SITUATION AS A CLASS THAT WOULD TEACH CHILDREN TO BE SELF-AWARE, A CLASS THAT WILL BEGIN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND END AND HIGH SCHOOL.

THE CLASS WILL CONSIST OF ONE THAT TEACHES CHILDREN TO LOVE THEMSELVES, DEVELOP EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND FOSTER HEALTHY MINDSETS. OUR CONCEPT IS TO CREATE A MORE SUPPORTIVE SOCIETY STARTING RIGHT HERE IN OUR SCHOOLS, LET'S RECOGNIZE AND PACK AND TRAUMA AND CREATE A SPACE FOR HEALING.

OUR SCHOOLS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SHAPE OUR VIEWS ON SUBSTANCES, SOMETHING NOT EVERYONE HOME OR.

GROUP CAN DO. LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE HER SCHOOL COMMUNITY A PLACE FOR EVERYONE FEEL SUPPORTED AND HEARD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE

A GOOD DAY. >> THANK YOU CASEY.

NEXT SPEAKER DAVID ORTIZ. >> HELLO, MY NAME IS DAVID ORTIZ I AM WITH SALUTE STUDENT ADVOCATE LEADING UP LIVING DECISIONS AND THE PROGRAM WITH WEST MINISTER HERE IN THOUSAND OAKS AND WE ARE HERE TO COME TO YOU WITH POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO HELP OUR STUDENTS OVERCOME DRUG ADDICTION AND ABUSE.

WE KNOW YOU CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT'S WHY WERE HERE TO SHARE SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT WE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. THE MOST ALARMING ISSUE IN OUR COMMUNITY IS THE RISING NUMBER OF DRUG ABUSE WITHIN TEENS AND CHILDREN. CONSIDERING STUDENTS ARE NAÏVE AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE THEY TEND TO USE HARMFUL COVID MECHANISM SUCH AS DRUGS TO BRING PEACE WITHIN THEMSELVES.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL SIDE EFFECTS. ONE OF OUR SOLUTIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM IS PRACTICING COVID MECHANISMS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE.

SO KIDS CAN LEARN THE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES TO COPE WITH STRESS, ANXIETY, MIXED EMOTIONS AND ANGER.

THIS WOULD TEACH THEM HOW TO MANAGE THEIR EMOTIONS WHEN FEELING A LOW STATE OF MIND. INSTEAD OF SIMPLY WARNING KIDS WE SHOULD TEACH THEM HOW TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS THAT COME THEIR WAY. SO THEY ARE PREPARED OF UNEXPECTED ISSUES. HER SECOND SOLUTION IS MORE ACCESS TO WELLNESS CENTERS AND WE COULD CREATE EACH PASSIVE AT THE START OF EACH CLASS THAT THEY CAN GO TO THE ONE CENTER AT ANY TIME THAT THEY WANT. IT COULD CREATE WERE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT WILL HELP THEM COPE WITH THEIR PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE BATHROOMS TO USE DRUGS AS THEIR ALTERNATIVE STRESS RELIEVERS. BY CREATING THE PASSES IT WILL HELP STUDENTS FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE TALKING TO COUNSELORS AND STAFF ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH AND WHAT EMOTIONS THEY ARE HAVING. OUR THIRD SOLUTION TRAINING TEACHERS TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING.

ALTHOUGH NOT DIRECTLY THEIR FAULT, TEACHERS ARE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY STUDENTS OF STRESS IN SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE STUDENTS IN TURN OF CONFLICTS WHEN STRESS FORCING THEM TO YOU SUBSTANCES THAT MAKE THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES WHEN TAKING A TEST OR GOING INSIDE OF THE CLASS BEFORE THE BELL RINGS. BY EDUCATING TEACHERS ON EMPATHY AND EMOTIONAL GUIDANCE WHETHER THAT IS BEFORE OR AFTER SCHOOL, THERE IS A HIGHER LIGHT COULD THAT THESE SAME STUDENTS WILL APPROACH THEM ONCE AGAIN AND SHARE THEIR PERSONAL STRUGGLES AND EXPERIENCES. THESE INTERACTIONS WITH OPEN TEACHERS EYES AND INTRODUCE THEM TO A NEW PERSPECTIVE WHAT BY OTHER TEACHERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR PROPOSAL I WOULD

BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH DAVID,

NEXT SPEAKER. >> DO I PRESS THE GREEN BUTTON?

>> HELLO, GOOD EVENING DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS I AM A SENIOR AT WESTLAKE HIGH AND I AM WITH WESTMINSTER FREE CLINIC THE PROGRAM THAT YOU HAVE HEARD STUDENTS ADVOCATE LEADING UPLIFTING DECISIONS. WE ARE HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR OUR YOUNGER GENERATIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH AND HOW THAT IS INCREASED

[00:20:05]

IN THE IMPORTANT ABILITIES THAT WE NEED IN LIFE, TEACHERS NEED TO BE TRAINED TO HELP US IN THIS IMPORTANT TIME BECAUSE OUR BRAINS ARE FRAGILE FOR THIS T TIME.

WE NEED OUR STUDENTS TO LEARN THAT WE HAVE TIME FOR THEM TO CREATE BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE COULD DO THIS WITH YOUR HELP AND WE KNOW THAT YOU CARE AND BY DOING THIS WE HAVE HOPE IN SHOWING THEM THAT THEY CAN CREATE A BETTER LIFE FOR THEM BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE COULD DO THIS WITH YOUR HELP BY SHOWING THIS OUR PEERS WILL KNOW THE POTENTIAL VALUE THAT WE HAVE WITHIN THEMSELVES. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, NEXT SPEAKER IS BETSY PATTERSON.

>> GOOD EVENING PRESIDENT GILL, TRUSTEES OF THE CONEJO VALLEY SCHOOL BOARD, SUPERINTENDENT, STOCK.

MY NAME IS BETSY PATTERSON, I AM SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OF THE VENTURA COUNTY CHAPTER OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS.

THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS IS A NON- PARTISAN GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION WORKING TO PROTECT AND EXPAND VOTING RIGHTS AND ENSURE EVERYONE IS REPRESENTED IN OUR DEMOCRACY ONE OF THE WAYS WE DO THIS IS TO EDUCATION. TONIGHT I'M HERE TO TALK WITH YOU A BETTER VOTER EDUCATION FOR HIS SCHOOL STUDENTS.

EACH YEAR THE CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE CALIFORNIA SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION DESIGNATES TWO WEEKS AS HIGH SCHOOL VOTER EDUCATION WEEKS.

DURING THOSE TWO WEEKS WE OFFER A PRESENTATION ON VOTING TO 16, 17 AND 18 -YEAR-OLDS IN HIGH SCHOOL, COLLABORATING WITH THEIR GOVERNMENT, ECONOMICS AND U.S. HISTORY TEACHERS.

WE DISCUSSED THE HISTORY OF VOTING IN OUR COUNTRY WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO ENGAGE IN A DISCUSSION ON WHY VOTING MIGHT BE IMPORTANT TO THEM, FOR STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE AND WANT TO REGISTER TO VOTE OR FOR 16 AND 17 EUROS WHO WANT TO PREREGISTER, WE GUIDE THEM STEP-BY-STEP THROUGH THE VOTER REGISTRATION FORM. , WE TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THE PROCESS OF VOTING IN VENTURA COUNTY AND WE ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS THIS FALL 20 TRAINED LEAGUE MEMBERS SPOKE WITH 2162 STUDENTS AND 86 CLASSROOMS IN FOUR OF THE NINE VENTURA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS. OF THOSE STUDENTS ONLY 94 WERE ALREADY REGISTERED PREREGISTER TO VOTE AND WE HELP 692 STUDENTS BECOME REGISTER VOTERS. EACH STUDENT WHETHER THEY WANTED TO REGISTER TO VOTE OR WHETHER THEY REGISTERED TO VOTE OR NOT RECEIVED PACKET VOTER REGISTRATION FORM A FLYER WITH INFORMATION ABOUT REGISTERING TO VOTE IN WAYS TO RETURN AND TRACK THEIR BALLOT, BOOKMARK WITH NONPARTISAN RESOURCES AND HOW TO FIND OUT ABOUT CANDIDATES AND VALID MEASURES INTO STICKER SAYING I REGISTER TO VOTE. WE ASKED FOR FEEDBACK FROM

[00:25:15]

SUPPORT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE REPORT IN THE 692 NEWLY REGISTERED VOTERS.

NEXT SPEAKER KEVIN DOING. >> GOOD AFTERNOON TRUSTEES AND ADMINISTRATORS I AM SPEAKING AS A DIRECTOR AND BOARD SECRETARY.

IN THE GARDEN CONEJO SCHOOL. ON NOVEMBER 1 SUPERINTENDENT MCLAUGHLIN SAID IN THE COMMENTS HE'S GLAD SOMEBODY INVITED THE MEDIA TO THE MEETING. WE ARE TWO.

WE WERE RELIEVED TO READ HIS COMMENT THAT THE DISTRICT HAS NO INTENT TO SELL THE PROPERTY AT 975 UB STAR DURING 111 MEETING SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN ALSO SAID IF CARDIN WANTS TO SIGN THE NEGOTIATION ON THE TABLE I'M SURE DOCTOR HAYEK WOULD HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATIONS, WE WOULD TAKE DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD IF THERE ARE ANY CONTRACT LANGUAGE THAT NEED TO BE ADJUSTED. WE THOUGHT OKAY PERHAPS THERE IS A GLIMMER OF HOPE IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT CONTRACT LANGUAGE CAN BE ADJUSTED THEN WE HEARD FROM DOCTOR HAYEK SHORTLY AFTER ADMITTING WE WERE THRILLED.

WE THOUGHT PERHAPS THE DISTRICT IS WILLING TO MAKE AS REQUESTED.

NOPE. WE WERE WRONG.

HOURS AGO EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON SUPERINTENDENT MCLAUGHLIN INFORMED US THAT THE LEASE ON THE TABLE IS NONNEGOTIABLE.

THE LEASE WHERE WE MAY CONCESSION AFTER CONCESSION IN AN ATTEMPT TO PLEASE THE DISTRICT IS NONNEGOTIABLE.

THE LEASE THAT THE DISTRICT ADDED LAST MINUTE POISON PILL PROVISION TWO IS NONNEGOTIABLE. THE CARDIN REDUCED HER FROM OVER 10 TO JUST TO AND TO ADD THE SUCCESS AND INTEREST CLAUSE KNOWN AS TERMINATION UPON SALE AND THE RIGHTS TO TERMINATE THE LEASE IN THE EVENT THEY WANT TO SELL THE PROPERTY OR IF THE DISTRICT AND THE PROPERTY FOR STUDENTS AND UPDATE THE COMMENCEMENT DATE AND TERM TO REFLECT IT SINCE APRIL 2023.

PLAINTIFF RECALLED. >> BEGINS CANNOT ACCOMMODATE OUTLINED IN THE E-MAIL AND THEIR ATTORNEY LANGUAGE STANDS FIRM.

SO HERE WE ARE IN HERE WE WILL BE THROUGH JULY 2025 HIM HIM HIM HIM HIM I FOLLOWED THE NEGOTIATIONS FROM THE BEGINNING AND FOR YOUR AWARENESS I WANTED TO POINT OUT FIVE KEY TERMS OF THE PROPOSED LEASE THAT ARE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE DISTRICT IN YOUR EXISTING LEASES WITHIN THE TWO CHARTER SCHOOLS WHICH SHOULD MOTIVATE YOU TO MOVE FORWARD WITH US.

AND RENT PAYMENTS ARE DOUBLE THOSE MADE BY THE CHARTERS, TO THE ENTIRE FIRST YEAR OF CARDIN LEASES PAID UPFRONT AND ONE LUMP-SUM. THREE THE CARDIN LEASE HAS $50000 DEPOSIT PAID UPFRONT. FOR, STARTING WITH THE SECOND YEAR OF THE CARDEN LEASE, MAINTENANCE COST ARE BORNE BY CARDEN RATHER THAN THE DISTRICT UP TO $55000 PER YEAR, LASTLY, FIVE, CARDEN IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS AS WELL AS MONTHLY REPORTS OF BOARD MEETING AGENDAS.

[00:30:06]

WE HAVE A SIMPLE KEY REQUEST REMOVE OR MODIFY THE TERMINATION UPON SALE BECAUSE WHICH WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE VALUE INTO NEGOTIATIONS THIS PAST MARCH WHICH REQUIRES BETTER SCHOOL VACATE IMMEDIATELY UPON SALE OF THE PROPERTY BY THE DISTRICT, THIS CLAUSE IS UNREASONABLE MUCH LESS THE SCHOOL.

ESPECIALLY DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WE SIMPLY ASK FOR PROTECTION OF A REASONABLE WINDOW OF TIME TO ALLOW STUDENTS AND PARENTS TO FINISH THE REMAINING SCHOOL YEAR IN SUCH A SCENARIO. HOWEVER, FROM SUPERINTENDENT GOFFIN'S E-MAIL THE DISTRICT CONTINUES TO IMPOSE THIS CLAUSE IN THE TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT STANCE.

IT'S HARD FOR ME TO STOMACH THIS AS AN APPROACH OF COOPERATION GOOD FAITH THIS IS WHY YOU INSIST ON SUCH A CLAUSE AND DEFENSIBLE RATIONALE YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT WOULD PAR A DRACONIAN PROVISION I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM ENCOURAGED TO WORK WITH DISTRICT LEADERSHIP WITH A WIN-WIN SOLUTION AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WERE ALL THE SAME TEAM AS NEIGHBORS IN CARETAKERS LITTLE ONES REALITY APPEARS NOT TO BE SO AS YOU DEMONSTRATED,

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, NEXT SPEAKER

[00:50:05]

I WAS A THEATER GEEK AUTHOR MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT WE CALL OURSELVES THEN I DON'T KNOW THEY STILL DO, AND VERY CLEAR ON IMPACT OF THE PERFORMING ARTS ON OUR STUDENTS TRULY FOR LIFE AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE THOUSAND OAKS HIGH SCHOOL SHOW UP THIS WEEK PETER AND THE STAR CATCHER, THINK OF ARE PROVIDED NOT.

FINALLY I KNOW OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY INTERCOMMUNITY AT-LARGE CONTINUES TO BE REALLY IMPACTED BY ALL THIS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AND DOCTOR MACLACHLAN SENT A MESSAGE TO THE CVUSD COMMUNITY AND I REALLY APPRECIATED HEARING STATEMENTS AND ANOTHER'S GATHERING FROM OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THAT'S A REMINDER THAT WERE STRONGER TOGETHER AND LEADING WITH LOVE AND EMPATHY AND ACCEPTANCE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WORTH STRIVING FOR.

AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT LAST WEEK WAS A FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE BORDERLINE SHOOTING I KNOW OUR COMMUNITY IS CARRYING MORE THAN OUR SHARE OF SUFFERING.

>> THINK YOU TRUSTEE GOLDBERG, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

I WOULD THINK MY COLLEAGUES ARE REPORTING AND I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID, THINKING TO THE PUBLIC COMMENTERS ESPECIALLY ERIC, CASEY, DAVID THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GOOD WORK IN YOUR IDEAS, WE HEARD YOU.

THANK YOU TO LEANNE HOLLAND I BELIEVE THAT FIVE OF OUR ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETINGS SINCE THE LAST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER AT A BOARD MEETING WE HAD SEVEN ALTOGETHER AND THAT DISTRIBUTED A LEADERSHIP MODEL AND HELPS ME DO MY JOB BETTER AND I BELIEVE IT MAKES A STRONGER BETTER DISTRICT BUT IT COMES WITH AN ENORMOUS COMMITMENT OF TIME AND ENERGY AND THOUGHT AND I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH. I WILL SAY IN REFERENCE TO TRUSTEE SYLVESTER'S WONDERFUL COMMENTS THAT ONE OF THE CONVICTIONS THAT IS PRESENT IN OUR PERFORMING ARTS STRATEGIC PLAN IS ARTS EDUCATION IS ABSOLUTELY FUNDAMENTAL AND CORE TO WHAT WE DO IT IS NOT AN EXTRA IS NOT ENRICHMENT AVAILABLE FOR ONLY SOME OF OUR STUDENTS IN SOME OF THE EVIDENCE ABOUT THE WONDERFUL PRODUCTION OF OKLAHOMA WE SAW WAS CHOREOGRAPHED VIA CVUSD ALUM MAX ALL OF OUR IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THEIR CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND THE WORK THAT WE DO THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS MAKING MORE OF THOSE AVAILABLE FOR SOME OF OUR KIDS.

I WAS VERY, VERY HAPPY TO ATTEND THE PATRIOT ACT ASSEMBLY WHICH IS AN ANNUAL OCCURRENCE AND A MOVING CEREMONY IN THE BANYAN FAMILY IS FILLED WITH VETERANS AND CURRENT SERVICE MEMBERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS AND I BELIEVE THERE WERE 40 OF THE FOLKS IN UNIFORM WHO WERE FAMILY MEMBERS OF OUR CURRENT BANYAN STUDENTS.

IT WAS WONDERFUL TO BE THERE AND TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH SOME OF THEM AND IT MADE ME INCREDIBLY PROUD TO WATCH OUR BANYAN BOBCATS DO WHAT THEY DO SO WELL. THIS PAST WEEK WE CONDUCTED A BOARD SELF-EVALUATION THE FIRST ONE WE HAVE DONE IN THIS DISTRICT AND I WANT TO TAKE MY COLLEAGUES VERY, VERY MUCH FOR THE TIME COMMITMENT

[H. Comments - Superintendent]

[01:00:01]

I WILL UPLOAD OUR STRING OF E-MAILS THAT WE'VE HAD SINCE THE LAST BOARD MEETING SO OUR COMMUNITY IS AWARE OF WHERE WE SIT. I WOULD BE VERY TRANSPARENT AND IN THIS PROCESS WILL CARTON AND OBVIOUSLY OUR BOARD WHO KNOWS WHERE WERE AT OUR COMMUNITY AND AGAIN, WERE NOT TO GO FISHING FOR AN OPINION. WE WILL STICK WITH THE ATTORNEY THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH AN INDIVIDUAL FEELS STRONGLY THAT THIS LANGUAGE WHENEVER HE CAME INTO THE NEGOTIATIONS I CANNOT SPEAK TO THAT BUT IT NEEDS TO STAY IN AT THIS POINT THAT IS OUR STANCE. THAT WILL BE THE CONTINUED CONVERSATION UNLESS SOMETHING COMES UP IN OUR ATTORNEY MOVES US A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT MYSELF, DOCTOR HAYEK, OR BOARD PRESIDENT, NOBODY AT THE DAIS TAKING ACTION WERE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH AN ATTORNEY AND IT'S BEEN THE SANGHA TRAIN ATTORNEY WITHOUT THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS. WITH THAT I WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A SAFE THANKSGIVING BREAK.

TIME TO REST, RELAX HOPEFULLY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND GET A LITTLE BIT A BREAK OF THE NORMAL ROUTINE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD, I THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE LONG, I DID MY BEST TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO CUT AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN CUT THAT IS ALWAYS A PROBLEM RIGHT I HAD ONE OR TWO SUGGESTIONS THAT I HAD I WOULD THROW OUT THERE I'M NOT NECESSARILY LIKE GOING TO DIE ON THE CELL BUT I DID NOT LOVE THE LAST SENTENCE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST PAGE, THE FEW SENTENCES STARTING THE STREETS AND THE PEOPLE. I WONDERED IF WE INSTEAD HAVING OUR SHARED VALUES THAT WE HAD WITH THE CITY LIKE SOMETHING THAT WE SEE THE SAFETY OF OUR STREETS AND PROTECTING PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS IS AN ATTRIBUTE THAT THEY BOTH VALUE GREATLY BECAUSE THAT WOULD MOVE RIGHT INTO THAT WE ALL AGREE THE STUDENTS TO WALK TO SCHOOL BENEFIT IN MANY WAYS NOT WAS ONE

[01:05:03]

, WE CAN CERTAINLY MODIFY THAT'S WHY THEY'RE THERE.

>> MY OTHER I FELT LIKE WE WERE MISSING A COMMENT UNLESS I MISSED IT IN THE FACT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE CLEAR, IT IS NOT ALWAYS A CHOICE IS NOT JUST ABOUT I WANT TO WALK TO SCHOOL BECAUSE IT'S HEALTHY FOR ME, THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS THAT HAVE TO WALK TO SCHOOL OR RIDE THEIR BIKE TO SCHOOL AND I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WITH A SENTENCE SOMEWHERE THAT WE MUST RECKON AS MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS INCLUDING STUDENTS RELY ON WALKING OR BIKING AS THEIR PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORT

BRINGING US RAPIDLY TO HER INFORMATION DISCUSSION SECTION

[A. Instructional Services - Presentation: Formative Data and Student Software in CVUSD]

WELCOME. >> GETTING IMPREZA GO, DOCTOR MCLAUGHLIN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND EXECUTIVE CABINET IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH YOU THIS EVENING.

TONIGHT WE WILL TALK ABOUT OUR FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT DATA AND OR SOFTWARE THAT SUPPORTS THAT. BEFORE HE MOVES TOO FAR ALONG I WANTED NO TO THE BOARD THAT THIS WAS A REQUEST FROM BOARD MEMBER PAL I THINK A WHILE BACK AND IT WAS ON HER AGENDA IN A PRESENTATION AND REMOVE TO THE PRESENTATION AT A BOARD MEETING.

WITHOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CREDIT HOW WE GOT HERE AND GO

FOR IT DOCTOR SUTER. >> VICKI DOCTOR MCGLOTHLIN.

[01:15:04]

WHEN WE THINK ABOUT INFORMATIVE DATA AND FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT, TEACHERS EVERYDAY ACROSS GRADE LEVELS AND CONTENT AREAS UTILIZE AGE CONTENT APPROPRIATE STRATEGIES.

AND THE GOAL HERE IS TO MONITOR STUDENT PROGRESS SO NOT ONLY TEACHERS CAN GUIDE INSTRUCTION AND ADJUST AS THEY GO BUT ALSO SO STUDENTS CAN BECOME EMPOWERED TO MONITOR THEIR OWN.

THAT IS THE GOAL ULTIMATELY. YOU WANT EVERY STUDENT TO COME INTO YOUR CLASSROOM EVERY DAY TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM IN THE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE IN THE LEARNING PROCESS. IT IS REALLY HARD TO NOT UNDERSTAND EXPECTATIONS AND NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THEM.

AND IF HE DID THEM TO DIG A LITTLE DEEPER INTO EXAMPLES CLASSROOM TEACHERS IN THE MULTITUDE OF STRATEGIES SOME ARE LISTED APPEAR BUT THE REALLY PART I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE OF THE STRATEGIES THAT PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK, IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK LET'S THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. IF YOU CONSIDER A RESEARCHER NAMED RICHARD WHO IS ONE OF THE LEADING RESEARCHERS THAT HAS BEEN FOR YEARS ON PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES AND FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES, HE COINED SOMETHING 15 YEARS AGO SUPER MARIO EFFECT. AND IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SUPER MARIO BROTHERS WHEN YOU PLAY THE OLD GAME THAT CAME OUT IN 1988 YOU ARE RUNNING ALONG AND COLLECTING YOUR GOLD COINS AND THEN YOU FALL DOWN THE CABINET AND IT START YOU OVER.

YOU LEARN RIGHT AWAY DON'T FALL DOWN THE CAVERN.

THAT IS WHAT THE GOAL IS, TEACH KIDS RIGHT AWAY HERE IS WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. AND THAT'S WHERE THIS COMES INTO PLAY. SO THE SOFTWARE THAT HELPS DO THIS SOME EXAMPLES ARE WILL TALK TO THESE IN-DEPTH AND HOW THEY USE THEM WE HAVE THE SGI IT IS A FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT SOFTWARE SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR YOUNGEST LEARNERS WE USED TK THROUGH DO WE HAVE IXL WHICH IS THE TIER ONE INTERVENTION PROGRAM IN INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT SOFTWARE. WE HAVE ALEXIA POUR FIVE WHICH IS THE TIER TWO INTERVENTION SOFTWARE FOR LEADING SPECIFICALLY IN MASTERY CONNECT WHICH IS THE STUDENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEM WHICH ALLOWS A WIDE VARIETY OF ASSESSMENTS TO BE DELIVERED TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO RECEIVE IMMEDIATE EVEN AND THEN WE HAVE SCHOLASTIC WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY A TESTING SYSTEM AND HAS OTHER FEATURES WERE TALKING ABOUT AS WELL.

OUR FIRST ONE IS ES G.I., ES G.I. WE CURRENTLY OFFER IT TO ALL TEACHERS IN TK THROUGH TO AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVELS IN ALL SCHOOLS THAT HAVE ACCESS TO IF THEY WANT TO USE IT AND THIS YEAR ALMOST EVERYBODY IS USING THE AND ON BOARD WITH IT WHICH IS GREAT. AND WHY IT SAVES TEACHERS TIME.

IN THE ASSESSMENT FOR THE BENCHMARK OF THE TRIMESTERS THOSE ARE ALL INCLUDED FOR BOTH READING AND MATHEMATICS FOR ALL OF THOSE GRADE LEVELS TEACHERS CAN GET A VARIETY OF REPORTS FROM CLASS TOTALS AND ITEM ANALYSIS SO THEY COULD SEE SPECIFICALLY WITH THE CLASS IS STRUGGLING IN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT REPORTS AND THEY CAN GROUP STUDENTS IN ORDER TO CREATE SMALL INTERVENTION GROUPS FOR CENTERS IN THEIR CLASSES AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS OF STUDENT REPORTS AFTER TEACHERS ARE PRETTY CLOSE AND GIVING THEM TO CONFERENCES.

AS WELL. AND PARENTS CAN SUPPORT THEIR STUDENTS IN THE THINGS OF THE STRUGGLING WITH.

, HOW IT CAME TO CVUSD THERE'S TWO KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS HAD A COLLABORATIVE MEETING WERE TALKING AND SAYING THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY TO ANALYZE OUR CLASSROOM DATA.

OUR TEACHERS HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY IN CREATING EXCELLENT ASSESSMENTS IN READING AND MATH THEY DO IT COLLABORATIVELY AND WE ALWAYS HAVE TITLE I REPRESENTATION AND WE HAVE HIGH END WILL REPRESENTATION AND THEY COME TO CONSENSUS ABOUT WHAT THE STUDENT WORKING AT GRADE LEVEL SHOULD

[01:20:03]

IF WE GO TO THE NEXT ONE WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE PICTURES AND WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.

HERE IN SECOND GRADE PHONICS AND LOOKING AT THE SKILLS TEST UC CVC LOSER CVC WORDS SO THE THREE LETTER WORDS, CONSONANT VOWEL CONSONANT WORDS LIKE CAT, BED, WORDS LIKE THAT.

SO WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT THIS IS A DISTRICT WIDE REPORT AND THE IS 628 STUDENTS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TESTED AND THAT AND OF THE 93% WE ARE GETTING THEM CORRECT.

THEY HAVE A 93% AVERAGE ON THAT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER WHATEVER HERE, THIS IS AN ITEM ANALYSIS.

TEACHERS AFFECT GRAPHS AND GET THE YEARS WHERE MY CLASSES IN A SMALLER GROUP OF MY KIDS AND HERE'S THE TOTAL AND WHAT THIS ALLOWS IT TO DO ON GROUP INTERVENTION AND MOST OF OUR STUDENTS ARE GETTING IT, SMALL GROUP INTERVENTION EXAMPLE SMALL GROUP OF STUDENTS WERE INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION AS NEEDED. SCHOOLS HAVE INTERVENTION SPECIALIST, WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF THOSE AND THEY CAN GIVE THE DATA TO PROVIDE EXTRA SUPPORT. NEXT IXL IS ANOTHER ONE THAT STARTED AS A GRASSROOTS EFFORT IN THE DISTRICT WE HAD A HANDFUL OF SCHOOLS WHO STARTED BUYING GRADE LEVELS MAY BE A YEARS AGO OR NINE YEARS AGO WE HAD A FEW MORE SCHOOLS, THEN WE HAD A FEW MORE THAN WE HAD EVERYBODY WANTING IT AND THEN WE HAD THE INFUSION OF ONE TIME STIMULUS MONEY WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO PURCHASE THIS FOR EVERYONE TO HELP MITIGATE LEARNING LOSS FROM THE PANDEMIC. IXL IS A RESOURCE BASED PLATFORM AND WE OFFER IT TO ALL OF HER TK FIVE STUDENTS IN MATH AND ELA AND WE OFFER TO ALL SIX THROUGH EIGHT STUDENTS IN MATH AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF SIX THROUGH EIGHT AND ELA AND HIGH SCHOOL WE OFFER TO HIGH SCHOOL BASED ON WHICH TEACHERS WERE BASICALLY SAYING YES I WILL USE IT AND BASED ON PRIOR USAGE.

WE DID NOT WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON LICENSES THAT WERE GOING TO GO UNUSED. IF STUDENTS COMPLETE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE SOFTWARE THE RESEARCH THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON THE PLATFORM SHOWS THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES. THE NUMBER THAT YOU'RE SEEING 3.2 MILLION QUESTIONS FROM OUR STUDENTS WAS ACTUALLY AS OF A FEW WEEKS AGO I JUST CHECKED IN TONIGHT WERE ABOUT 4.1.

NOT SO 12181 STUDENTS ACTIVELY USING THE PLATFORM IN OUR DISTRICT. THIS IS A FEW WEEKS AGO FROM ONE TEACHER, ONE TEACHER CLASSROOM, 11030 QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 22 SKILL SETS THE STUDENTS AND PRACTICE, THOSE SKILL SETS WERE BASED ON GRADE LEVEL SKILL SETS AND PREREQUISITE SKILLS SETS THE SOFTWARE DETERMINE HAD BEEN STRUGGLING WITH. THERE WERE NECESSARY FOR THEM TO PERFORM AT HIGH LEVELS IN THE CURRENT CLASS.

, FROM THIS THE TEACHER CAN TAKE A LOOK AT WHICH STUDENTS ARE

[01:25:08]

NUMBER ONE THE SOFTWARE WON'T LET YOU FINISH IF YOU DO THAT.

ALSO WHAT WE ARE FINDING CLASSROOMS WORDS IMPLEMENTED STUDENTS AREN'T TRYING TO DO THAT.

IN FACT A LOT OF KIDS LOVE THE LEADERBOARD.

BECAUSE IT BECOMES A GAME HOW WELL CAN I DO AGAINST MY FRIENDS HOW WELL CAN I DO AGAINST THE REST OF MY CLASS AND AGAINST THE REST OF MY SCHOOL AND BECOMES A COMPETITION.

>> A QUICK QUESTION HOW DO WE SEE THIS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN CLASSES AS IT BEING DONE IN CENTER ACTIVITIES IS A WHOLE CLASS WORKING ON IT WHAT IS BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE AND HAVE

TEACHERS ARE USING THIS ACROSS. >> IT DEPENDS ON THE GRADE LEVEL INTO DEPENDS ON THE TEACHER AND AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL WHERE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE A LOT OF TIMES THESE ARE ASSIGNMENTS GIVEN US HOMEWORK AND THE TEACHER MIGHT GIVE STUDENTS TIME TO WORK ON CLASS AND THE STUDENTS MIGHT WORK ON THEM AT LUNCH OR IN THE LIBRARY, THE GREEN AND BLUE BARS THAT YOU SEE THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PRACTICE OF THE TEACHER STUDENTS, THE GREEN PART IS THAT SCHOOL IN THE BLUE PART IS AT HOME.

>> WE ARE NOT SEEING, THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT THE TEACHER WOULD DO IT DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY.

>> NODDED. >> THAT IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS I

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. >> ACROSS 12000 STUDENTS IN WHAT WEEK ARE WE IN SCHOOL WERE COMING UP ON 15 OR 16TH WEEK.

IF YOU DIVIDED BY 15 WEEKS, 12181 STUDENTS, YOU'RE GETTING THAT NUMBER DOWN TO WHERE STUDENTS ARE COMPLETING 30

QUESTIONS A WEEK. >> INC. E.

>> JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I MAY OR MAY HAVE NOT CALCULATED THAT

BEFORE THE MEETING. >> WAY TO ANTICIPATE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STUFF IN SCHOOL THIS IS DURING SCHOOL HOURS. IT DOES NOT TRACK WHERE A STUDENT IS OR WHERE THEY LOGIN FROM THIS IS JUST DURING THE SCHOOL HOURS SO FOR STUDENT IS WORKING ON IXL AT LUNCHTIME OR AFTER SCHOOL THE LIBRARY BEFORE THE 4:00 P.M. WHEN WE CALL IT NO LONGER SCHOOL HOURS THEN ACCOUNTS IN THE GREEN AREA.

OKAY ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF TEACHER REPORTS WE HAVE A GROWING NUMBER OF TEACHERS USING THE DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE EMBEDDED INTO IXL, WHAT IS NICE ABOUT THIS IT GIVES IT A RESEARCH-BASED GRADE LEVEL EQUIVALENT OF WHERE THE STUDENT IS PERFORMING. IF I'M A FIFTH-GRADE TEACHER I MAY SEE A SCORE OF 520 AND WHAT THAT MEANS A STUDENT IS GOING OUT FIFTH-GRADE DURING THE SECOND MONTH.

ONE IT'LL GIVE YOU THE LEVELS OF YOUR STUDENT SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT I HAVE THE MAJORITY OF MY STUDENTS WERE SCORING HIGH ON CURRENT GRADE LEVEL CONTENT OR HAVE THE FIVE STUDENTS WERE SCORING MUCH LOWER ON GRADE LEVEL CONTENT.

IT ALSO GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS FOR PREREQUISITE SKILLS FOR THOSE STUDENTS TO MASTER. IT WILL ALSO GIVE THE STUDENTS THAT SO AS THE TEACHER I PUSH OUT THOSE SUGGESTIONS OR I SAY AYE DON'T WANT YOU TO OVERWHELM MY STUDENTS WITH ALL OF THE SUGGESTIONS SO I'M JUST GOING TO PUSH OUT THESE THREE.

IF I HAVE A STUDENT WHO IS STRUGGLING A FIFTH-GRADE STUDENT WHO IS STRUGGLING WITH THE THIRD GRADE SKILL AND STRUGGLING WITH FOURTH GRADE SKILLS MAY BE A PUSH AT THE THIRD GRADE SKILL, THE PRACTICE, GET BETTER AND THEN I PUSH AT THE FOURTH GRADE SKILLS. THOSE SHOW UP ON THE DASHBOARD, THE NEXT ONE, THIS ONE WAS SPECIFICALLY IMPLEMENTED IN

[01:30:04]

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS THE LARGER THE BLUE BAR THE MORE SKILLS STUDENTS HAVE MASTERED. AFTER TWO WEEKS YOU SAW THE BLUE PART OF THE BAR GROW. WITHIN THE DASHBOARD OF THE SOFTWARE YOU CAN ACTUALLY CLICK AND YOU CAN SEE SPECIFICS ON STUDENTS AND SPECIFICS ON SKILL SETS THAT THEY ARE MASTERING AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE SUGGESTIONS OF WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO MOVE

FORWARD IN THEIR SKILL SETS. >> OKAY.

>> LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, WE HAVE A NEW SOFTWARE THIS YEAR, ACTUALLY THIS IS NOT THE LAST ONE I APOLOGIZE.

WE HAVE A NEW SOFTWARE CALLED SCHOLASTIC LITERACY PROBE IT IS DESIGNED REALLY FOR A LACK STYLE ASSESSMENT THAT HAS ADDITIONAL FEATURES FOR THE BETTER PART OF THREE DECADES WE HAD A PIECE OF SOFTWARE CALLED READING INVENTORY.

AND ALSO A COMPANION SOFTWARE CALLED READING COUNTS.

READING INVENTORY WOULD TEST THEIR EXILE LEVELS IN READING COUNTS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO READ BOOKS AND TAKE COMPREHENSION ASSESSMENTS BASED ON THOSE BOOKS THAT WOULD EARN POINTS FOR LITTLE PRIZES LIKE PENCILS AND ERASERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT FOR READING BASICALLY. WE RECEIVED A YEAR AGO NOTICE FROM A VENDOR THAT THEY WERE DISCONTINUING READING INVENTORY AND READING COUNTS SO WE HAD TO FIND SOMETHING NEW, BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM TEACHERS WHAT WE HEARD WAS WE REALLY WANTED KEEP A LACK STYLE ASSESSMENT IS WHATEVER ENGLISH LEARNER REDESIGNATION DATA POINTS. IT'S SOMETHING THAT TEACHERS USED TO HELP KIDS FIND BOOKS THAT ARE JUST RIGHT FOR THEM TO READ THAT ARE AT THEIR LEVEL. IT HELPS IN THOSE TYPES OF AREAS IN READING IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL SETS FOR STUDENTS. LITERACY PROBE IS WHAT WE CAME WITH WE THE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS AND WE HAD TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS DISTRICT OFFICE, MEET WITH SEVERAL VENDORS AND THIS IS WHAT WE SETTLED ON.

ONE THING THAT IS NICE ABOUT THIS THAT WE NEVER HAD WITH RI OR RC THAT THIS INCLUDES 4000 E-BOOKS FOR KIDS.

NOW THAT WERE ONE TO ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT, STUDENTS DON'T HAVE TO CARRY THOSE BOOKS HOME THEIR PARENTS DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THEM TO THE LIBRARY THE STUDENT CAN LOGIN FROM THE CHROME BOOK AND ACCESS OR THOUSAND E-BOOKS. IN THE SOFTWARE BASED ON HOW THEY PERFORM ON THE LACK STYLE ASSESSMENT THE SOFTWARE WILL SUGGEST BOOKS FOR THEM. AND STUDENTS CAN SORT BY INTEREST, THEY CAN SORT IF THEY WANT TO STRETCH THEMSELVES, IT'LL SAY HERE IS YOUR STRETCH. THAT IS ONE OF THE NICE THINGS ABOUT READING INVENTORY IN READING COUNTS GOING AWAY, WE

[01:35:04]

THERE IS A TOTAL OF FIVE LEVELS, ADVANCE, PROFICIENT, BASIC, BELOW BASIC AND FAR BELOW BASIC. AND IT WILL TELL THE TEACHER HOW FAR AWAY FROM PROFICIENCY EACH STUDENT IS AND IT WILL SUGGEST BOOKS BASED ON THAT. AND WE HAVE THIS IN OLIVER'S SCHOOLS TK EIGHT AGAIN WE HAVE AVERAGE SCORES ON THE ASSESSMENTS IN HERE WHERE IT SAYS THINK MORE, THESE ARE COMPREHENSION ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY CREATED BASED ON THE E-BOOKS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THE SYSTEM.

SO THE STUDENT CAN READ THE BOOK OF SHORT COMPREHENSION ASSESSMENT THE TEACHER RECEIVES THE DATA ON THAT.

>> I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ONE MORE YOU GET TO SPEAK TO, BUT I'M CURIOUS YOUR PARENTS HAVE ACCESS TO REPORTS ON ANY OF THIS INFORMATION OR DO ALL THESE REPORTS NEED TO BE GENERATED BY THE TEACHER AND THEN PROVIDED TO PARENTS.

>> OF THESE SO FAR THAT YOU HAVE SEEN IF PARENTS LOGIN TO THE STUDENTS ACCOUNT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO ALL OF THAT, ALL OF THESE ARE AVAILABLE TO LINK SO IF THE STUDENT OPENS UP THE CHROME BOOK THEY CAN UP WITH THE CLASS LINK IN THE STUDENT APPEARING TOGETHER CAN GO INTO THE SYSTEM AND PULL ALL OF THIS INFORMATION. CONVERSELY, THE TEACHER CAN ALSO PROVIDED TO THEM. WE HAVE TEACHERS WHO ARE PROVIDING TO ALL OF THEIR PARENTS AND SAYING HERE IS THE BIGGEST REQUESTED THING THAT WE HAD ON SCHOLASTIC LITERACY PROBE LAST MONTH IS TEACHERS ASKING ABOUT REPORTS FOR PARENTS FOR CONFERENCES. I WANT TO GIVE EVERY PARENTLESS HAS BOOK SUGGESTIONS AND ALL OF THESE THINGS TO HELP THEM SUPPORT THEIR CHILD. THE LAST ONE IS MASTERY CLINIC IS THE GENERAL STUDENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEM IN THE SENSE OF IT BEING A GENERAL ASSESSMENT IS SIMILAR TO ES G.I. WHERE WE SET UP HER OWN ASSESSMENT. THIS IS REALLY USED IN GRADES THREE THROUGH 12. WE DO HAVE ITEM BANKS AVAILABLE TO TEACHERS AND WE DO HAVE SOME TEACHERS AT THE ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL USING THOSE TO CREATE THEIR OWN FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS AND DELIVERING THOSE THIS IS ALSO WHERE WE DELIVER ALL OF OUR BENCHMARK ASSESSMENTS.

SO GRADE THREE THROUGH EIGHT WE HAVE BENCHMARK ASSESSMENT IN MATH AND ENGLISH-LANGUAGE ARTS AND THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT WE USED TO DELIVER THOSE AND PULL THE ASSESSMENT DATA.

TYPES OF REPORTS WE HAVE ITEM ANALYSIS REPORT, STANDARD MASTERY BECAUSE ALL OF OUR ASSESSMENTS ARE ALIGNED TO STATE STANDARDS. WE DO PULL REPORT BY STANDARDS SO TEACHERS CAN SEE HOW THEY'RE PROGRESSING IN THAT WAY.

WE HAVE HAD MASTERY CONNECT FOR THREE YEARS AND IN THE THREE YEARS WE HAVE HAD 1456 ASSESSMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THE SYSTEM AND WE HAVE 291,000 PLUS STUDENT SCORES PER ASSESSMENT. LETTER HOUSE THERE.

THE POWER OF MASTERY CONNECT, THIS IS THE PART THAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT THAN A LOT OF ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS OUT THERE.

MASTERY CONNECT REALLY IS BASED ON A STANDARD-BASED SYSTEM.

WE DID TEACHER LOGS INTO MASTERY CONNECT WHAT THEY SEE IT BECAUSE OF THE TRACKER, THE TRACKER INCLUDES ALL OF THE GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS FOR THAT SUBJECT AND THAT GRADE LEVEL AND WHAT IT DOES AS STUDENTS TAKE ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE ALIGNED TO THE STANDARDS IT BEGINS COLOR CODING SO THE TEACHER CAN LOGIN AND SEE HERE ARE MY STUDENTS, HERE IN THIS CASE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF PART OF THE THIRD GRADE TRACKER SO WE HAVE THIRD GRADE, THREE MEASUREMENT AND THREE MEASUREMENT STANDARDS AND WE SEE HOW STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING ON THOSE.

IF YOU IMAGINE ESSENTIALLY A SPREADSHEET ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN THAT COLOR CODES EVERYTHING FOR YOU SO YOU CAN SEE RIGHT AWAY WHO IS STRUGGLING IN RIGHT AWAY WHO IS EXCELLING AND THEN YOU ALSO GET COLUMNS FOR HOW THEY'RE DOING ON THE SPECIFIC BENCHMARKS THEMSELVES SO WE DO NOT GIVE UP THE USE OF THE OVERALL SCORES IN THE USE OF THE OVERALL PROFICIENCY BUT THIS

[01:40:04]

THEY CAN ALSO GO WHEN THE ITEM ANALYSIS REPORTS AND STAY ON QUESTION 580% OF MY STUDENTS MISSED IT SO I NEED TO RETEACH THAT OR I NEED TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS A BAD QUESTION.

OKAY LAST BUT NOT LEAST, COST ASSOCIATED WITH THESE.

ES G.I. SCHOLASTIC LITERACY PRO AND MASTER CONNECTOR ALL GENERAL FUNDED. IXL WE TOOK OVER THE COST FOR THE FEW SCHOOL SITES PURCHASING AND WE PURCHASED IT MORE DISTRICT WIDE SO WE'VE BEEN IN PAIN FOR THE INVESTOR THREE STIMULUS MONEY IN LEXI ACCOR FIVE WE'VE ALSO BEEN PAYING OUT OF STIMULUS MONEY FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU SO MUCH I LEARNED A LOT. QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

GO RIGHT AHEAD. >> FIRST OF ALL DOCTOR SUTER THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT, THE THING I LIKED ABOUT ON ALL THE PROGRAMS IS ACCESSIBILITY TO THE STUDENTS THAT THEY CAN SELF ADVOCATE, THEY ARE BEING GUIDED BUT THEY CAN ADVOCATE MORE FOR THEMSELVES AND I LIKE THAT. MY QUESTION IS ON THE LAST SL SLIDE. WE HAVE TWO OF THE PROGRAMS ON SR FUNDS WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE TEMPORARY.

>> WERE ACTUALLY HAVING ONGOING CONVERSATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES REGARDING USAGE OF ALL OF OUR PLATFORMS AND WE ARE TAKING A HARD LOOK AT PRIORITIZING THAT'S REALLY WHAT

IT COMES DOWN TO. >> IF I COULD ADD IT IS CERTAINLY DIFFICULT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PLATFORMS THAT WE USE SPECIFICALLY WITH THE FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT WERE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS INTENT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SERVICES AND SUPPORT AND INTERVENTION FOR STUDENTS IN LIGHT OF LOST INSTRUCTIONAL TIME DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.

I THINK WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT THERE ARE PROBABLY A NUMBER OF WAYS AND OPTIONS AND CERTAINLY THE USAGE AS WELL AS RESULTS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO LOOK AT.

BUT IT COULD ALSO BE ENOUGH NOT LOOKING TO SEE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE ARE USING THAT ARE GENERALLY FUNDED, THE QUESTION ALSO BECOMES ABOUT USAGE AND IMPACT THERE AS WELL WERE NOT JUST THINKING TO HERSELF LIKE IXL IN LEXI CORE FIVE BUT WERE THINKING WITH THE BREATH OF THE PROGRAMS AND JUDGE OF THE EFFECTIVENESS INTO THE ANALYSIS OF USAGE AS WELL AS IMPACT THAT THAT MIGHT LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN SOME OF THOSE SO FOR INSTANCE THE COST CAN GO DOWN BASED ON THE USAGE OR IMPACT AND WHETHER THAT BE AT THE GRADE LEVEL OR THE TEACHER REQUEST SOMETIMES IT IS TRUE THAT WE PHASED OUT A NUMBER OF NEW PLATFORMS SINCE COVID-19 ESPECIALLY IN CONSIDERATION THAT WE PROBABLY START WITH THIS MANY WINCO BIDS STARTED AND WE KIND OF NARROW THE FIELD AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. THE OTHER THING AS WELL TO MENTION THIS IS NOT OF COURSE A COMPLETE SOLUTION BUT IT'S DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO EXTEND SOME OF OUR SR THREE FUNDED SOFTWARE PROGRAMS IF WE PURCHASE THEM FOR NEXT YEAR BEFORE THE SEPTEMBER DEADLINE THAT'S ALSO A POSSIBILITY SHORT-TERM IS SOMETHING WE ARE CONSIDERING AS

WELL. >> I WOULD NOTE OUR TEACHERS BECOME EXPERTS, NOT IN ALL OF THESE BUT THEY BECOME EXPERTS IN ONE OR TWO AND THEY REALLY LIKE THE ONE OR TWO IN THE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR TEACHER REALLY LIKE THOSE TWO THAT THE NEIGHBOR LIKES BUT THEY LIKE TO OTHERS. SO AS WE MAKE DECISIONS YOU CONTINUE TO RECEIVE E-MAILS FROM FOLKS IN THEIR FRUSTRATED SAME OR LOOKING AT THE LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET PIECE WHICH WE HAVE

[01:45:03]

IN PROVIDING TRAINING SUPPORT. >> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU, THAT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION AND I THOUGHT I HAD KIND OF GOTTEN IT READING IT BUT YOU ADDED A LOT MORE COLOR AND BACKGROUND, I DO APPRECIATE IT. I AM GLAD TO HEAR THAT WERE LOOKING AT USAGE, THAT WAS ONE OF MY FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS, YOU MENTIONED WITH THE SGI THAT ALMOST ALL TEACHERS FOR THE GRADE THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR ARE USING IT AND IS A LITTLE UNCLEAR THE OTHER REMAINING PROGRAMS, THESE ARE JUST THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS I LIKE THE FACT THAT THE CONNECT SEEM TO BE WELL SUITED FOR THE MASTERY GRADING BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY THE FOUNDATION, I APPRECIATE THAT. USAGES ARE PART OF THE EQUATION AND I HEAR WE'RE GOING TO MEASURE EFFECTIVENESS, HOW DO WE GO ABOUT GETTING HOW ARE WE GOING TO MEASURE THAT AND GET FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS WHO ARE USING THESE PROGRAMS IN TERMS OF

WHAT THEY THINK? >> I THINK PART OF THAT AND WITH A SMALL TEAM WE WERE LOOKING AT THE PIANO AND SCRATCHING HER HEAD STRANDED FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH IT.

AND I HAPPEN TO BE ON CAMPUS SO I MET THE TEAM AND WORKED WITH THEM ON IT. IN THE CLASS WAS REALLY QUIET AND EVERYTHING THE TEACHER HAD STARTED THEM ON THE IXL LESSON AND THE LITTLE SECOND-GRADER WAS REALLY QUIET AND THE % SECOND-GRADER YELLS AND WE ALL TURNED AROUND AND HE SAYS I GOT IT, I FINALLY GOT IT SO CERTAINLY SOME OF THAT IS GOING TO BE ANTIDOTAL. SOME OF THAT WILL COME THROUGH TEACHERS AND THE FEEDBACK I GET FROM HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING LIKE IXL, THE STUDENTS LOVE THE LEADER BOARDS IN THE GAME ASPECTS OF IT ENCOURAGES THEM TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK AND HOMEWORK COMPLETION IF IT IS ALIGNED IN MEANINGFUL THAT INCREASES STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT ON ASSESSMENTS AND OF COURSE OVERALL. THOSE ARE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS.

THOSE WILL BE SOME OF THE WAYS THAT WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT OTHER WAYS TO GATHER LARGER SWATHS OF DATA AS WELL.

FROM STUDENTS. >> I DO APPRECIATE THE QUALITY AND THE ANTIDOTAL, THIS IS ONE WHERE I'M NOT SURE GATHERING ALL THE DATA THE USAGE DATA CERTAINLY BUT I THINK HEARING FROM THE TEACHERS IN HEARING THOSE STORIES ARE PRETTY IMPACTFUL. ONE OTHER QUESTION, ARE WE SEEING SOME OF THIS DATA FILTERING UP AT SCHOOL SITES AND ACTUALLY USING THEM AS PART OF THE METRICS?

[01:50:05]

>> FOR MANY OF THE SYSTEMS, YES. THE SYSTEMS THAT ARE MOST WIDELY THAT YOU SEE OUR BENCHMARK SCHOOLS FOR MASTERY CONNECT.

AND ALSO SCORES FOR ME SGI, IXL, ALEXIA ARE MENTIONED AND A LOT AS BEING A TOOL THAT THEY'RE USING FOR TIER ONE OR TIER TWO INTERVENTION OR AS PART OF FIRST INSTRUCTION AND WE HAVE A GROWING NUMBER OF SCHOOLS, PARTICULARLY AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL HE WAS BEEN WORKING WITH DOCTOR SELLERS AND MS. HUTCHINSON AT HER YOU'D YELL ELEMENTARY ON SNAPSHOT WINDOWS ON EXCEL. ON THOSE DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS AND IT TAKES A SNAPSHOT OF WHERE THE STUDENT WAS ON THE DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT AT SAY THIS WEEK FOR EXAMPLE.

AND THEN IT WILL COMPARE THE GROWTH TO JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF THE NEXT SNAPSHOT WINDOW. THEN THOSE REPORTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO COMPARE THE GROWTH IN A SHOW STUDENT USAGE SO IT WILL COMPARE HOW MUCH STUDENTS HAVE GROWN VERSUS HOW MUCH

THEY'VE USE THE PLATFORM. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY

MUCH. >> DOCTOR SUTER DO ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS UPLOAD STUDENT DATA ASSESSMENT INTO RESULTS SO TEACHERS CAN SEE WHERE STUDENTS FELL ON THE ASSESSMENTS WHICH IS A COMPUTER BASED ASSESSMENT AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND SEE IF THEY SEE GROWTH TOWARDS MEETING STANDARD AT THE FOLLOWING YEAR ASSESSMENT OR THE CURRENT YEAR STATE ASSESSMENT.

>> IN THESE IT DOES NOT. THE PLATFORM THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY USING HIS ESTATE PLATFORM FOR DATA.

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE STATE CAME OUT WITH A PRETTY PIECE OF PLATFORM FOR MONITORING EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING WITH A CAST RESULT. WE UTILIZE ESTATE PLATFORM FOR

THAT PURPOSE. >> I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING AS WELL. I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE USING THESE PLATFORMS BUT HAVE YOUNGER SIBLINGS WHO LOVE DOING IXL AND THINGS LIKE THAT AT HOME.

I DID WANT TO ASK I KNOW YOU TALK ABOUT THE COMMUNICATION AND HOW SOME OF THESE LEADER BOARDS, I WANTED TO ASK HAVE YOU HEARD OF ANY TOXIC CULTURE IN THE COMPETITIVENESS I KNOW ESPECIALLY OUT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THINGS CAN GET KIND OF TOXIC AND COMPARING STUDENTS TO EACH OTHER IN SCHOOLS AND CLASSROOMS IN INDIVIDUAL FRIENDS I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS EVER COME UP BUT I JUST WANT TO ASK.

>> PART OF THE REASON THAT IT HASN'T AS PART OF HER TRAINING OF ALL OF HER TEACHERS WITH A PLATFORM THAT HAS LEADER BOARDS WE TEACH YOU HOW TO TURN THEM ON ENTERING THEM OFF AND WE TEACH AND HOW TO MODERATE THEM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITH AN EYE EXCEL IS MODERATE SO IS BASED ON TIME SPENT OR BASED ON GROWTH AS OPPOSED TO BEING BASED ON STREET PERFORMANCE. THAT WAY THE TEACHER CAN REALLY CHOOSE WHAT THEY THINK IS GOING TO BE THE MOST BENEFICIAL TO

THEIR STUDENTS AT THE TIME. >> THAT IS PERFECT, THANK YOU SO

MUCH. >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION AND YOU GAVE A PRESENTATION THAT WAS SO GREAT TO BOARD MEETINGS AGO SO IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU HERE AGAIN WERE HAPPY TO SEE YOU BUT WE KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK, THANK YOU.

AND I THINK THIS IS INFORMATION THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO HEAR AND KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING ABOUT UNDERSTANDING HOW STUDENTS ARE ASSESSED AND HOW ARE WE MONITORING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, WHAT ARE WE USING THE CLASSROOM TO IMPACT INSTRUCTION TO THE TIER ONE INSTRUCTION AND YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE OF THE KEY THINGS IS THE ABILITY FOR TEACHERS TO KNOW IN REAL TIME HOW ALL OF THEIR STUDENTS ARE DOING AND HOPEFULLY IS MAKING LIFE EASIER FOR TEACHERS. WOULD YOU SAY FOR THE MOST PART?

IT IS? >> I THINK THE ANYTHING THAT SAVES THEM TIME, LIKE I MENTIONED WITH THE SGI, TEACHERS WERE DOING FOR VERSIONS OF A HANDWRITTEN REPORT TIMES 24 STUDENTS, NOW ALL THAT THEY DO THEY ASSESS THE STUDENT IN THE SOFTWARE AS ARE GIVEN THE ONE-ON-ONE ASSESSMENT AND THEN THE REPORTS ARE THERE. TEACHERS, I REMEMBER WORKING WITH COMMITTEES AND THEM STRUGGLING WITH THE AMOUNT OF

[01:55:04]

SO I THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE A LOT OF THESE THAT I MENTION STARTED BECAUSE TEACHERS ASK FOR THEM WE HAD TO TEACHERS WHO CHAMPION TO BEGIN WITH AND THE FACT THAT IT GREW, ESG I WE HAVE NOT MANDATED ANY THAT WON'T USE IT.

BUT THE USAGE INCREASES FROM YEAR TO YEAR YEAR THE NUMBER OF TEACHER LICENSES THAT WE PURCHASED YEAR-OVER-YEAR.

IF PEOPLE ARE REPORTING IT'S MAKING THEIR LIVES EASIER.

>> RIGHT, THE OTHER POINT THAT YOU MENTIONED FOR OUR STUDENTS THE MOTIVATIONAL FACTOR FOR THEM AND ALSO WERE ALWAYS ASKING THE QUESTION HOW DO WE GET STUDENTS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP IN THEIR LEARNING AND BE REALLY CLEAR WHETHER AT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF THE PLATFORMS ARE HELPING THEM AT THAT.

THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ASSESS THE IMPACT I GUESS AT THIS POINT OF THESE PROGRAMS AND SOME OF THEM ARE NEW TO OUR DISTRICT SO I GUESS THAT IS SOMETHING TDB WILL FIGURE OUT HIS SOUNDER IN THAT WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE SOME OF

THAT OUT? >> THERE IS NO FORMULA TO MAKE THE HARD DECISIONS AND I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT BEFORE I THINK ANOTHER PIECE OF DATA THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER IS OUTSIDE, NOT ALL OF THEM BUT OUTSIDE OF IXL, WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT THE DATA THAT WE ARE GETTING THROUGH EXISTING ASSESSMENTS AS WELL AS STATE ASSESSMENTS TO DETERMINE WHERE IS THE GREATEST OR THE GREATEST NEEDS WHETHER THAT BE PARTICULAR CONTENT AREA AND GRADE LEVEL STUDENT GROUPS AND MAKING SURE THAT WERE TARGETING THE SPECIFIC PIECES IN THE SPECIFIC AREAS BASED OFF THE OTHER ADDITIONAL

DATA. >> NOT JUST LEAVING IT AT THE CLASSROOM LEVEL BUT UTILIZING AN OUT OF DISTRICT LEVEL.

>> YES. >> YOU ASK THEM A QUESTION.

I WANT TO CONFIRM USE OF THE MASTER CONNECT PLATFORM WERE USING ALL OF HER BENCHMARK ASSESSMENTS AND NOW GOING TO DO?

IS THAT RIGHT? >> THE BENCHMARK ARE THREE THROUGH EIGHT CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A PERIOD AND THAT IS BECAUSE IT LENDS ITSELF BEST TO GRADE THREE AND ABOVE AND WE HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTING IF WE DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE BENCHMARK ASSESSMENTS WE HAVE THEM IMPLEMENTING THEM OVER THE LAST

COUPLE OF YEARS. >> ONE OTHER THING THAT YOU SAID THAT REALLY STRUCK ME FROM THE PARENT PERSPECTIVE, I WAS THINKING ABOUT I HAD KIDS THAT HIT A POINT WHERE THEY BECAME UNMOTIVATED READERS WHICH IS HEARTBREAKING TO BE BECAUSE I AM A READER SO JUST THE THOUGHT OF HAVING 4000 BOOKS IN THE GUIDANCE OF HERE'S A BOOK THAT WOULD FIT YOUR CHILD PERFECTLY KIND OF THING YOU WERE LIKE OH MY GOSH IT COULD HAVE USED THAT 10 YEARS AGO. ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR

WORK. >> THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL OF THE INFORMATION AS WELL AS YOUR OBVIOUS LOVE AND MASTERY OF ALL OF THESE THINGS WITH US BECAUSE THAT MAKES IT ENTERTAINING FOR US AS WELL. A QUESTION ABOUT THE SNAPSHOTS.

ARE THEY PRESET AND YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS DAY IN THE STATE BECAUSE THEY PRESET THEM BECAUSE ONE OF MY CHILDREN IS VERY INCONSISTENT EVEN WITH THE SAME TEST YOU CAN GIVE THEM A TEST ONE DAY AND THEY MASTER THE SAME TEST, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH.

IS THERE A WAY TO SEE IF THESE ARE ACCURATE SNAPSHOTS, DO YOU

KNOW WHAT I'M ASKING. >> I THINK SO.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SNAPSHOT WINDOW FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT WHEN YOU TAKE A DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT YOU CAN UPDATED ANY TIME. SO A STUDENT COULD GO WHEN IN THE FIRST TIME THEY TAKE AT MOST GRADE LEVELS IS 35 TWOMAC 40

[02:00:01]

THEN YOU CAN DO AND IF YOU DON'T PERFORM WELL YOU COULD DO IT THE NEXT DAY AND IT WILL LET YOU UPDATED.

BUT THE SNAPSHOT WINDOW DOES BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTICS ARE MEANT TO BE FREE-FLOWING THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR THE SNAPSHOT WINDOWS TAKES A PICTURE OF THAT TIMEFRAME SO THE TWO WEEKS OR THREE WEEKS OR WHATEVER THE WINDOW WAS OF HOW THE STUDENT WAS PERFORMING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC DURING THE WINDOW FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES. FOR EXAMPLE IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT DO WELL, AS THE TEACHER HOPEFULLY I WOULD KNOW THAT THE STUDENT IS INCONSISTENT AND I MIGHT LOOK AT THE DATA AND SAY THAT LIKE THE LITTLE ODD 18 TAKE 10 OR 15 MINUTES AND GO UPDATE THAT FOR ME AGAIN. OR A WEEK LATER THEY WENT YOU GO UPDATE THAT AGAIN. IN THE SYSTEM WILL LET THEM DO

THAT. >> THINKING.

I WOULD AGREE THE TEACHER WAS DEFINITELY ON TOP OF THE AND OUR INSTANCE BUT BACK IN READING COUNTS AND IS NOT QUITE THE

SAME. >> DOCTOR SUTER CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LEARNING STRATEGIES VERSUS ASSESSMENT.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT FORMATIVE I'M THINKING ABOUT LEARNING STRATEGIES IN THE OPENING SLIDES TALKED ABOUT STRATEGIES LIKE EXIT TICKETS AND THINK PAIR SHARE AND YOU TALKED ABOUT METACOGNITIVE SKILL BUILDING FOR STUDENTS WITH AND SOMETIMES WHEN WERE IN THE CONVERSATION WE CREEP INTO STATE-LEVEL ASSESSMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENT, CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT T

THAT. >> ASSESSMENT PRACTICES ARE CONTINUUM. ON YOUR FORMATIVE SIDE YOU EXIT TICKETS AND HOPEFULLY WHEN YOU GIVE KIDS AN EXIT TICKET YOU HAVE THEM FILL IT OUT AND BEFORE THEY TURNED IT IN THEY KNOW HOW THEY DID ON IT SO WHEN THEY WALK OUT YOUR DOOR NEVER FEELING OVER THERE AT SO YOU START CREEPING UP AND THEN YOU MAY GIVE A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT AND IXL AND SINUS SKILL PRACTICE, HERE IS A SKILL THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT IN THE CLASS I WANT YOU TO COMPLETE THIS SKILL AND IXL AND IGNORE ALL THE OTHER SUGGESTIONS, THIS IS JUST YOUR HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT AND LOU OF NUMBERS ONE THROUGH 35 OUT OF YOUR MATH TEXTBOOK. IN THE NICE THING ABOUT ASSIGNING A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT AND A SKILL LIKE THAT IN ADAPTIVE PLATFORM MEANS AS STUDENTS ANSWER QUESTIONS AND GETTING FEEDBACK FROM THE PLATFORM AND IF THEY GET IT WRONG THE PLATFORM MAY SUGGEST A SHORT VIDEO TO WATCH ON HOW TO PERFORM BETTER. IT WILL SHOW HINTS OF THE STUDENT CAN FIND OUT WHERE THEY WENT WRONG IN THE PROCESS.

SO WHEN THEY START THE NEXT QUESTION ON THE SAME SCALE THEN HOPEFULLY THEY WILL DO BETTER. SO THEN YOU HAVE THAT LEVEL IN THE NEW MOVE-IN TO MORE UNIT ASSESSMENT OR IN CLASS QUIZZES THOSE ARE WHAT TEACHERS ARE USING MASTER CONNECT FOUR SO THOSE STUDENTS WHEN YOU TAKE THEM ON A DIGITAL PLATFORM THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE STUDENTS KNOW HOW THEY DID BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS MACHINE SCORED ANYTHING THAT IS NOT THEY CANNOT BE MACHINE SCORED YET THEN THE STUDENT WAITS ON THAT MAYBE THERE IS 11 QUESTIONS IN THE LAST ONE IS WRITE A PARAGRAPH IN THE STUDENT RECEIVES FEEDBACK ON THE FIRST 10 THEN YOU GO INTO BENCHMARK ASSESSMENTS AND THAT'S WHERE WE USE THE SGI PLATFORM AND THAT'S WHERE WE REUSE MASTER CONNECT WITH HER BENCHMARK ASSESSMENTS SO THOSE ARE A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE SGI THE MAJORITY OF HER TEACHERS WILL GIVE THE ASSESSMENT FOUR TIMES A YEAR NOT THREE IN THE U.S. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE

[02:05:03]

IN FACT THIS YEAR OR MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH DEPARTMENT CAME TO CONSENSUS AND WANTED TO USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF BENCHMARK THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF THE YEAR, QUARTER ONE, SEMESTER ONE AND QUARTER THREE. THE BENCHMARK WAS MEANT TO SHOW PROGRESS TOWARDS END-OF-THE-YEAR STANDARDS.

THERE ARE ASSESSMENTS OF 25 QUESTIONS AND IDEALLY AT THE END OF QUARTER ONE STUDENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO DO A FOURTH OF THEM IN STUDENTS ARE PREPPED AHEAD OF TIME.

THESE ARE ONES THAT YOU LEARNED AND YOU SHOULD'VE LEARNED IN THE ONES FOLLOWING ARE HELPING GUIDE HOW WE WORK OVER THE NEXT QUARTER. IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEVER DONE IN THIS DISTRICT AND WERE GIVING IT A TRY AND WERE ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO ANALYZE THE DATA IN THE REPORTS SO WE CAN

MAKE THE MOST OF IT. >> THANK YOU, VERY HELPFUL.

>> I THINK THERE'S PIECES TO THIS FROM A TEACHER LESSON PLANNING PERSPECTIVE IN LOOKING AT THE STUDENTS NEEDS AS YOU LOOK AT RESULTS FROM SOME OF THE HOMEWORK THAT MAY COME IN AND THE ABILITY TO SEE A STUDENT THAT MAY BE STRUGGLING INTO RETEACHING CLASS ON A CONCEPT AND THEN REASSIGN HOMEWORK OFFICE ONE OF THE PLATFORMS YOU MAY HAVE STUDENTS THAT NEED TO BE FRONTLOADED MATERIAL GOING INTO A LESSON THAT THE TEACHER WILL TEACH ONE DAY AND THAT TEACHER IS ABLE TO FRONTLOAD SOME HOMEWORK THAT THE STUDENT MAY HAVE A VIDEO WITH IN THE APPLICATION ALONG WITH THE PROGRAM.

ULTIMATELY I THINK WE WANT TO SEE TEACHERS USING THE INFORMATION TO IDENTIFY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF STUDENTS AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO TEACH THE WHOLE CLASS OR BREAK IT INTO CENTER ACTIVITIES AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL INTO SMALL GROUPS THAT'S ULTIMATELY THE GOAL OF WHY WE HAVE THE PLATFORMS IN THE DATA THAT IS PATEL SO QUICKLY AND IS LESSON PLANNING BACK TO THE FIRST THING WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FIRST INSTRUCTION AND FOR NOT USING THE TOOLS TO GUIDE SOME OF THE FIRST INSTRUCTION WARFRONT LOADING OR RETEACH AS PER INSTRUCTION SERVICES NEEDS TO WORK WITH THE TEACHERS TO MAKE A DECISION ON IS THIS PROGRAM WORTH THE DOLLARS WERE SPENDING ON IT, THERE'S SOME PIECES TO THIS WHERE WE HAVE TO SEE IF TEACHERS OR USING ACCURATE DATA AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WE NEED TO COLLECT FROM OUR TEACHERS BEFORE MAKING ANY FINAL DECISIONS BECAUSE THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ALL OF US IS IDENTIFYING STUDENTS NEEDS, STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES AHEAD OF TIME AND BUILDING YOUR

LESSONS AROUND THE. >> YOU MENTIONED VIDEO AND THAT KINDA TRIGGERED SOMETHING, WE INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT IN UBL ON THE LEARNING CAN THESE TOOLS BE ADOPTED BECAUSE SOME KIDS MIGHT LEARN BY WATCHING THE VIDEO AND OTHERS MIGHT LEARN BY READING CAN THEY BE ADOPTED TO MESH WELL WITH

UBL? >> THESE PLATFORMS OFFER MODALITIES. BY READING, YES, WITH EXPLANATIONS OF EACH STEP OF ANSWERING A QUESTION AND THEN THERE IS ALSO A VIDEO LINK AND THEN THERE IS PICTURE DIAGRAMS IF IT'S APPLICABLE SO STUDENTS CAN CHOOSE WAS GOING TO WORK

BEST FOR THEM. >> IF YOU'RE DOING WALK-THROUGHS YOU CAN SEE THE TEXT ESPECIALLY AS I SEE IT AS A YOUNGER WORDS HIGHLIGHTED IN YOUR CURSOR OVER THE WORD AND IT MAY SHOW A PICTURE IN A DEFINITION, SOMETHING THAT THE STUDENT CAN CONNECT TO TO HELP THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE READING AND CONTINUE ON WITH THE STORY OR WHATEVER THE READING, THERE DEFINITELY IS EMBEDDED TOOLS AS WELL TO HELP STUDENTS.

>> GREAT, THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE.

>> ONE MORE QUESTION DOESN'T TAKE A LOT OF SUPPORT ON YOUR END TO HELP THE TEACHERS REALLY USE THE PLATFORMS MOST

EFFECTIVELY? >> I DON'T DO IT BY MYSELF, LET'S BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT. WE HAVE A LOT OF HARD-WORKING

[02:10:05]

>> DOCTOR SUTER LOVES TO GET TEXT MESSAGES FROM ME IN THE EVENINGS AND AT NIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVE A DISTRICT FACEBOOK PAGE WERE TEACHERS CAN SPECIFICALLY ASK TECH QUESTIONS AND I DO MONITOR IT IF I SEE SOMETHING SITTING AROUND I MAY NUDGE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I KNOW SHE DOESN'T ALWAYS LIKE THOSE BUT ARE TECH TOAS DO A GREAT JOB RESPONDING BACK TO ANY

QUESTION THAT,. >> THE BOTTOM LINE I ACTUALLY DON'T MIND AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE WE HAVE HARD-WORKING TEACHERS WERE TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR KIDS AND THEY'RE DOING ON THEIR OWN TIME. BUT GIVE THEM THE SUPPORT SO THEY KNOW HOW TO BE FRUSTRATED. THE LAST THING I WANT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BENEFIT THEIR KIDS NOT BEING IMPLEMENTED IN THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE THEY ARE FRUSTRATED AND GAVE UP.

>> ANYONE ELSE? >> THANK YOU SO MUCH WONDERFUL

PRESENTATIONS, WE APPRECIATE IT. >> OKAY WE ARE AT 5V BOARD OF

[B. Board of Education - CSBA Delegate Assembly Nominations]

[02:15:03]

>> THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS OR ANY

DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM. >> HAVE A QUESTION.

>> AS YOU JUST SAID ELECTIONS ARE NOT JUST NOVEMBER 3 OR WHATEVER IT IS NEXT YEAR IT IS A BUNCH OF DAYS HOW DOES THIS IMPACT IF IT'S IN THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM, HOW DOES IMPACT THE SCHOOL BEING MORE DAYS.

>> WE WORK WELL WITH THE COUNTY SO WHEN THEY REQUEST THE USE OF THE SITE WE WILL MEET WITH THEM ON SITE TYPICALLY OR WILL SPEAK WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND SAY IT'S BEEN ONE OR TWO DAYS IN THE PAST BUT IF IT'S GOING TO BE LONGER THAN WHAT WE WOULD DO WE IDENTIFY SPACES LIKE IN MPR WITH AN OUTSIDE EXIT AND IT WOULD IMPACT THE SCHOOL AND THEY'D BE ABLE TO USE MPR FOR THAT DAY BUT THEY WOULD HAVE ADVANCE NOTICE AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY BUT OUR GOAL IS TO MINIMIZE THE TRAFFIC OR INTRUSION IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAMPUS SO THERE WOULD BE EXTERIOR DOORS THAT COMES IN FROM THE PARKING LOT WHERE THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE

OFFICES. >> ANYONE ELSE?

I DO NOT SEE ANYONE. >> IN THAT INSTANCE DO THEY LOCK THE DOORS FROM THE MPR THAT GO ON TO THE CAMPUS?

>> IF THE ENTRANCES FROM THE PARKING LOT, I AM ASSUMING THE ANSWER IS YES BUT I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT ONCE PEOPLE ARE IN THERE THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS FROM A REAR DOOR OUT.

>> THEY COULD BECAUSE THE DOORS DON'T LOCK FROM THE INSIDE FOR EGRESS PURPOSES AND EMERGENCY YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO EXIT OUT.

>> SO THEN WE WOULD HAVE 70 MONITORING TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE.

>> TYPICALLY WHEN WE WORK IT OUT WHETHER IT IS A PRINCIPAL OR WHOEVER IT IS ON THE CAMPUS WE TRIED TO ASK THE COUNTY FOR ADDITIONAL SECURITY, THEY DON'T ALWAYS GIVE IT TO US SO IT'S LEFT UP TO US TO POLICE THEM AND WE MAKE SURE WE LET THE TEACHING STAFF KNOW THAT THERE VOTING ON CAMPUS AND IF YOU SEE ANYONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A VISITOR BADGE OR DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY BELONG THEY SHOULD REPORT IT RIGHT AWAY BUT WE'VE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES RECENTLY WE PUT THEM TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE MPR ALSO SO THERE MAY BE DOORS IN THE BACK BUT I THINK THE ELECTION STAFF ARE PRETTY GOOD ABOUT GETTING PEOPLE IN AND OUT AND

MAKING SURE NOBODY WONDERS. >> THAT IS PART OF THE TRAINING.

>> THERE IS CONCERN ON CAMPUS WE MAY RUN TABLES IN FRONT OF THE DOORS, THOSE TYPE OF THINGS SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE

SOMETHING TO GET OUT. >> IN PREVIOUS YEARS I VOTED AT WESTLAKE WHICH HAS APPEARED NEAR THE TOP IN PART CANNOT THEIR EASTER AND LOOKING PARENTS THAT MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT YOU COULD EXIT BACK TO THE PARKING LOT.

>> ANYONE ELSE. >> OKAY.

>> THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CHANGES OF ALTERNATIVE BIDDING PROCESSES AND THINGS LIKE ALTERNATIVE DIVORCE UNDER DESIGN BUILD PROJECTS SO THERE IS A SET THRESHOLD THAT GO UP TO 2025 I BELIEVE AND IT GOES UP TO $5 BILLION TO 2029 SO THE POLICY UPDATES REFLECTS THE TRUE UNDERCURRENT CHANGES AND GIVES US THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO THIS. WE HAVE NOT DONE THIS IS A POLICY UPDATE WE ARE REFLECTING THE POLICY BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST OR SOMETHING WERE LOOKING TO DO

>> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> YES PLEASE.

>> YOU MY RIGHT IN READING STARTING JANUARY 1 THOSE ARE TO RECOVER THE MAXIMUM FOOD, IS THIS COMING JANUARY 1.

>> TO TALK ABOUT SHARING TABLES AND BEING ABLE TO DONATE FOOD IS A SOMETHING THAT WERE DOING OR GEARED OR ABLE TO DO.

>> YES WE ARE AWARE AND WERE WORKING WITH THE TRASH COLLECTOR FOR THE DISTRICT AND WE INITIATED CONTRACT FOR THE TRASH REMOVAL THEY ARE WORKING WITH US ON BEING ABLE TO SEPARATE ORGANIC AND FOOD WASTE READ WE DO HAVE SHARING TABLES AND MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS AND WE STARTED CONVERSATIONS ON HOWARD PACKAGING FOOD AND HOW WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEPARATE THEM OR PUT THEM IN A POSITION WHERE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DONATE, WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES DONATING THEIR GROUPS THAT MAYBE WOULD TAKE LEFTOVER FOOD BUT THEY WANT US TO DELIVER AND WE DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DELIVER. SO IT WOULD REQUIRE A PICKUP AND SOME ADDITIONAL LABOR TO BE ABLE TO PUT ALL THE STUFF TOGETHER AND HAVE IT PICKED UP, WE TYPICALLY DO NOT SEE A LOT OF LEFTOVER FOODS AT ANY OF OUR SCHOOLS, WE WILL SEE SOME STUFF GO WHEN THE TRASH BUT IN LARGE QUANTITIES WE DON'T FEEL THERE IS A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE FOR ANYBODY THAT WE DELIVER WITH A PICKUP THAT WOULD HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL

AMOUNT OF FOOD LEFT OVER. >> THIS IS JUST A REQUIREMENT TO

DO THE BEST WE CAN ESSENTIALLY. >> YES.

>> LISTENING TO YOUR DISCUSSION JUST NOW, GOING BACK TO THE STUDENT THAT DISCUSSION EARLIER I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF DEDICATED STUDENTS THAT WOULD DO THAT.

IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN USE THEM FOR GATHERING DELIVERY OR

SOMETHING. >> AGAIN THE VOLUME IS NOT THERE

[02:25:04]

SO IF A STUDENT OPENS IT UP ONCE IT'S OPEN WE CANNOT DONATE IT HAS TO BE CLOSED AND WE ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT NOW THE EVERYTHING BREAKFAST AND LUNCH IS FREE FOR STUDENTS SO OUR MEAL NUMBERS AND WE SEE ON THE REGULAR UPDATES THAT DOCTOR MCGLOCKLIN SENDS OUT THEY HAVE BEEN RISING AND PRETTY CONSISTENT SO THE MEALS THAT ARE TAKEN MOST IS BEING CONSUMED.

WHAT IS UNOPENED AND TOSSED OUT IS WHAT WERE TRYING TO SEPARATE IN THE ORGANIC SIDE BUT THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FOOD THAT IS LEFT OVER THAT WE PREPARE THAT WOULD MAKE IT WORTHWHILE AT THIS POINT FOR SOMEONE TO COLLECT AND DELIVER.

IT JUST MAY BE DOESN'T MAKE ECONOMIC SENSE AT THIS POINT IN TIME WERE REALLY NOT WASTING A KIDS ARE PRETTY GOOD IN OUR CAFETERIA STAFF DOES A GREAT JOB AND THEY RECOGNIZE TRENDS AND THEY KNOW WHAT SELLS AND DOESN'T SELL AND THEY KNOW A PICNIC BASKET IS A HOT ITEM AND BREAKFAST FOR LUNCH WORKS, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MY KID LIKES AND DOESN'T LIKE.

WE'VE BEEN PRETTY IN-DEPTH AND IF YOU RECALL EARLIER TOWARD THE END OF LAST YEAR WE PURCHASED A NEW INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT HELPS US WITH THE MENU PLANNING AND USE OF INGREDIENTS SO THAT'S HELPING US REDUCE WASTE AND TRYING TO ORDER AND PREPARE MEALS IN LINE WITH WHATEVER PROJECTIONS OF MEALS

BEING SERVED THERE. >> I DO SOME OF THE PICKUP FOR THE ORGANIZATION THAT DO FREE MARKETPLACES FOR OUR FAMILIES SO THAT SERVICES AVAILABLE. BUT MY STRONG IMPRESSION FROM EVERY TIME WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON THIS WERE REALLY GOOD ABOUT NOT HAVING WASTE LEFT OVER WHICH IS A REAL POSITIVE.

>> ALL GO BACK AND SAY GROUPS WILL COME AND TAKE IT BUT IT'S NOT WORTH IT BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH THAT MAKES IT WORTHWHILE WITH SEVEN BAGS OF SLICED CARROTS.

>> EXACTLY. >> HAVE TO PIGGYBACK.

WE ARE GETTING BETTER AT IT BECAUSE I REMEMBER A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS PARTICULARLY AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL WHERE THERE WAS A LOT OF EXTRA IN THE CONVERSATION OF HOW WE CAN DONATE AND HOW WE CAN GET THIS TO PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY NEED IT.

>> NO. >> WE WILL MOVE TO 5H BUSINESS SERVICES APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION OF 23/2416 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF CV USD ELECTION OF 2014 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS SERIES E AND ACTIONS RELATED THERETO FINAL BOND ISSUANCE OR

MAJOR I COME A DOCTOR HAYEK. >> THIS IS OUR FIRST STEP IN THE FIFTH AND FINAL ISSUANCE OF BONDS FOR MAJOR I IT IS A MUST BEEN 10 YEARS 2024 WILL BE 10 YEARS AND SOME MAJOR I PASSED AND I HAVE BEEN ON PREP CALLS WE WERE ON WON THIS MORNING TO GET EVERYTHING IN LINE IN THEIR PAPERWORK READY TO GUIDE THE MEETING WITH THE BOND RATING AGENCIES IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS TO REVIEW OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT FINANCIAL SITUATION AND FOR INFORMATION WE WILL HAVE THE RESOLUTION IN THE POS ON APPROVAL AT THE DECEMBER MEETING.

ONCE THAT IS APPROVED WE WILL BE READY TO GO IN ALL INDICATION THAT THE MARKET CONDITIONS ARE GOOD RIGHT NOW AND WE WILL LIKELY NOT ACT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF CONSENSUS THAT EVERYBODY IS CHECKING OUT REALLY BEFORE THE

[02:30:02]

TO CONCLUDE MEASURE I. >> PEOPLE CHECKING OUT ARE NOT SEEEMPLOYEES. IT'S OTHER BUSINESSES THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THAT ARE CHECKING OUT.

>> A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT I THINK I UNDERSTAND. THESE ARE TAX-EXEMPT.

I KNOW IN THE PAST THERE'S A DECISION BETWEEN TAXABLE AND

TAX-EXEMPT. >> THE DIFFERENCES TAX-EXEMPT IN THREE YEARS, TAXABLE BONDS DO NOT HAVE A LIMIT SO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IN 2021, THE LAST BOND ISSUE THAT WE ISSUED 20 MILLION AND TAXABLE BONDS AND THAT IS WHAT IS FUNDING OUR MEASURE I TECHNOLOGY TO 2034. AND WE TIMED IT REALLY GOOD BECAUSE THOSE INTEREST RATES WERE AT ALL-TIME LOWS AND THAT PUT US IN A GOOD POSITION SO WE CAN SELL NONTAXABLE'S WITH INTEREST RATES BEING HIGH IN THE NONTAXABLE BONDS ARE LITTLE BIT MORE ATTRACTIVE RIGHT NOW FOR INVESTORS.

EVEN WITH RATES HIGH WE SHOULD BE PRETTY COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKET. SOME OF THE BONDS WILL HAVE TO BE CAPITAL APPRECIATION BONDS I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO ASK THAT.

WHAT THAT MEANS TYPICALLY AN AGENCY WOULD SELL BONDS AND THEY PAY INTEREST ON A REGULAR BASIS AS AN ANNUAL BASIS, CAPITAL APPRECIATION BONDS YOU WOULD BIND AND HOLD TO MATURITY AND THEY WOULD PAY YOU AT THE END THE REASON THAT WE HAVE TO DO THAT AT THIS TIME IS TO MAINTAIN THE $32.70 THAT WE PROMISE TO TAXPAYERS SO WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE INTEREST PAYMENTS INNKEEPER 3270 EACH YEAR SO WE HAVE TO STAGGER TO ACCOMMODATION OF REGULAR BONDS AND CAPS IN ORDER TO MAKE IT THE 3270 FOR THE PAYOFF OF THE LAST ISSUANCE OF BONDS WE'VE BEEN PORTED TO DO BECAUSE A LOT OF THIS IS PEGGED ON HOME VALUES AND WE ALWAYS Y YES. A 4% INCREASE YEAR-OVER-YEAR OF ASSESSED VALUES AND IS BEEN CLOSER TO FIVE AND THERE'S BEEN YEARS THAT IS OVER FIVE THAT PUTS US IN A GOOD POSITION THEY WERE ABLE TO ISSUE THE REMAINDER OF 29.9 MILLION ALL AT ONE TIME.

>> I SHOULD'VE CALLED YOU, IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO FILL FIGURE OUT THE CAPITAL APPRECIATION BONDS AND THE REASON FOR THAT.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A SMALL RISK OF ASSESSED IF THERE'S A BIG EARTHQUAKE OR FIRE IN THE ASSESSED VALUE COULD GO DOWN THOUGHTS ONLY RISK OF POTENTIALLY NOT HOLDING THE

TAXES THE 3270. >> CORRECT, CORRECT BUT VENTURA COUNTY IN THOUSAND OAKS SPECIFICALLY HAS OVER 90 #TAX COLLECTION RATES SO WERE IN A PRETTY GOOD SITUATION AND PART OF THE PRESENTATION WE DEAL WITH THE BOND RATING TALKING ABOUT THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY NOT JUST A SCHOOL DISTRICT.

ONE OF THE BIGGER RISKS BESIDES EARTHQUAKE IS A FIRE RISK THAT HAS BEEN OUT THERE AND AFFECTING EVERYONE'S INSURANCE RATES THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COMES UP IN WILL COME UP LIKELY IN THE CONVERSATIONS BUT I THINK THE COUNTY WE WORK WITH THE GPM ARE PRETTY FORTUNATE AND PRETTY PROACTIVE IN HOW WE HANDLE FIRE MITIGATION, ABATEMENT ESPECIALLY AROUND OUR CAMPUSES IN THE LAST MAJOR FIRE OTHER THAN SMOKE DAMAGES AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGES TO ANY OF OUR SCHOOLS AND OUT OF THE SCHOOLS IN VENTURA COUNTY.

>> THANK YOU I HAVE TO SAY AYE LEARNED A LOT OF THE BIG PAIRS OF PROPERTY TAX AT THIS COMMUNITY.

THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION WHEN YOU READ THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY WE ARE AT SECTION SIX BEFORE WE ADJOURN WOOD BOARD MEMBERS LIKE TO ADD ANY TOPICS FOR FUTURE BOARD DISCUSSION?

>> I WAS FORTUNATE TO GO TO MODERNA FOR THEIR PATRIOTIC ASSEMBLY AND ALSO WITH TRUSTEE POWELL WE GOT A TOUR OF NEW AND EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING AND I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE REPRESENTATION ON THEIR STEAM ACTIVITIES.

AND I'M SURE THE PRINCIPAL WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO SHARE.

>> THANK YOU. OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

[02:35:03]

>> YES. >> I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON.

I ATTENDED THE COUNSELOR HATCHING RESULT LAST WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AGO. I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY INFORMATIVE FOR US AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC TO HEAR WHAT OUR COUNSELORS THE FRESHMAN DEVELOPMENT FOR COUNSELORS.

>> I CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT BOARD AGENDAS BUT I DO THINK THAT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST FIVE OR SIX MONTH GOING BACK TO LAST YEAR.

I CAN CHECK IT OUT AND THEN WE CAN REACH OUT TO THE LEAD COUNSELORS AND SEE IF THEY THINK THERE IS AN UPDATE TO BE BROUGHT

FORWARD IF THE BOARD WISHES. >> A HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AGO WE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE IN THE SCHOOL YEAR GETTING AN UPDATE OF SOMETHING OR EARLY NEXT SCHOOL

YEAR. >> I THINK THAT WAS ETHNIC STUDIES CONVERSATION. I DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE BUT I DO THINK WE HAD A PRESENTATION NOT LONG AGO.

>> I THINK IT WAS HIM LAST YEAR. >> AND WE GO BACK AND CHECK ON

THAT FOR YOU. >> YES.

>> ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, OKAY WHILE WE RUN OUT OF THINGS TO TALK ABOUT.
